Government u-turns used to be as rare as hen's teeth; indeed, back in the 'old days', politicians and Prime Minister's in particular could pretty much guarantee they would have to fall on their sword sooner rather than later if they back-tracked on a key policy.
I'm reminded of Margaret Thatcher's famous Conference speech in which she met calls for her to u-turn with the comment, "You turn if you want to; the lady's not for turning." Indeed it was somewhat ironic that later it was her refusal to u-turn quickly enough on the poll tax which eventually saw her ousted from office.
Now, of course, government u-turns are all the 'rage'. You must remember George Osborne's 'omni-shambles' Budget of 2012 in which (it seemed) most of the announcements made were rolled back on within a matter of days. And many of us might wish that David Cameron's decision to hold a referendum on the UK leaving the EU, could be overturned so quickly.
To err is human, and there is not a person alive who hasn't made a mistake. On that note, I've taken a real interest in the situation 'Down Under' with regards to the payment of commission to advisers and the recent 'u-turn' announced on this very matter.
If you're not aware, just recently it was announced by the government that it would stop the payment of commission for all new loans from July 2020. Uproar ensued. Then it said it would ditch the payment of trail commission for loans – a practice we do not have for mortgages in the UK although many have called for it over the years – and this too has now been overturned with a new 'decision' that eventually kicks this into the long grass for at least three years.
The Australian government appeared to believe that commission could simply be replaced by the payment of fees by clients and – as I believe would happen in the UK if such a decision was made here – there was plenty of push back suggesting consumers would not be 'up for this' and that many businesses would be decimated as a result.
Interestingly, there are a number of strong comparisons between the UK and Australian mortgage intermediary market – similar numbers of advisers (16,000 there/12,000 here) and the advisory sector place 60% of all residential mortgages there compared to 75% here.
Looking at this u-turn in Australia, one wonders how this might impact on any thoughts of 'banning mortgage commission' in the UK. Clearly, in the past, we've had a regulator willing to go down this route for investments, pensions, etc, but so far the mortgage market has been allowed to plough its own furrow. Indeed, last year's Mortgages Market Study Interim Report rightly received a lot of criticism but it did say our procuration fee system works and neither was it somehow anti-consumer.
And I think this is a major plus point for our sector and the ability of consumers to access advice. The fact that many firms do not require an upfront fee clearly has its advantages for many consumers, and I suspect if any potential proc fee ban was reviewed, than any sort of consumer behavioural insight analysis would see that the UK consumer was similar to their Australian counterpart in not being particularly enamoured of paying upfront for their mortgage advice.
Now, this might not chime with many in the industry; indeed it's often been said that those who are completely reliant on a procuration fee model could be storing up trouble for the future. However if you are also supplementing this with the trail commission available in the protection and insurance spheres, plus you are looking at other areas of the market – such as equity release – where the charging of a fee is much more ingrained, and you're looking at other opportunities such as conveyancing or legal, then you are getting to a model which certainly isn't of the 'eggs all in one basket' variety.
For what it's worth, I think the procuration fee system for mortgages continues to be the best option available but would encourage advisory firms to also look at how they can secure income from other sectors and perhaps via other methods – including fee-based work. Many have successfully adopted a fee model and it works for them and their clients – procuration fees might not last forever but I suspect it will be a brave government/regulator that would be willing to u-turn on the existing status quo. And perhaps, currently, we should all be grateful for that.

At the end of January, I wrote a post called "Where Does The Money Go?" (LINK) to show that I'm not just asking for beer money, or eating steak dinners at the expense of my blog readers. Since that time, I've received a lot of great support through Ko-Fi, Amazon Affiliates, Patreon, and more. This has enabled me to take care of one chunk of the list that I wrote out, so I figured I'd do another post talking about all of that, so you all can keep track! Now, this isn't 100% open. I'll have some small, sundry items that I need to buy, and as I'm doing the artist commissions, each of these are going to be different and vary from customer to customer, so I'm not putting what I pay out there. I'm just going to update this post whenever I have a new purchase made that's beyond the typical domain name fees/artist commissions/podcast hosting fees.
On February 13th, I received a package with three microphones, six cables, foam mic covers, and the module for the H6 that enables me to record with up to six microphones. This now gives me a fully portable, 6-track recording setup that I'm currently using at both the Geek Cave Studios and the SFP Studios. This will also help keep larger groups, like the Shake Ups, from needing to pass microphones around as they're recording their podcast episodes.
This group of items was pretty far down the list, but as I was looking at a table full of people at the Social Sci-Fi Podcast, listening to some of the plans being made by YGLToN, and knowing I'll probably be recording with the Shake Ups again, I made the decision that this was a "sooner rather than later" purchase, and I don't regret it a bit.
Thank you to all of the supporters of Team Geeking through all of our channels! Keep an eye on this space for any updates, for those who really care how a blog and podcast spends their money! I don't mind telling you, at all!

Written: 06-14-2016
A couple weeks ago I past the 365 day milestone, which represented a full year without any alcohol consumption. It was not an easy mission to achieve, which is why I want to share how I accomplished this goal. This write up will be on the 'how' I accomplished the goal, it will not include any of the 'why' questions that will be asked. To be certain, the past year has been full of many more 'why' then 'how' questions, as the effort appears to be a form of self-punishment to many of my friends. At a later date, I may address those questions.
When looking back on this success, it was not as simple as committing to the goal and watching it happen. It was a process that had to unfold. The first couple times I made the decision to cut out alcohol, I would make it a few days or a week, then I would have a beer. What follows is the specific behavioral change program I designed for myself to finally reach an effective outcome. It includes concepts of social accountability, loss aversion, behavioral economics and some good ol' competitive spirit.
Step One: Identify the barriers and triggers that lead to a drink.
The biggest trigger for me to have a beer (which is almost always what I would drink), is the social setting. When a group of friends would want to hang out, it would often be at one of the local breweries. The setting is always fun and where nearly all of my social circles gather. Runners, cyclists, triathletes, friends of friends – we all seem to like craft beer and using their facilities as a gathering spot. While choosing to not drink is an option, it often felt awkward. Some of these places do not have options other than an alcoholic drink, which also does not help. Other types of settings that I identified were dinners out with family and friends, along with a few work trips which include meals with alcohol. The final setting I found myself drinking a beer or two, was at the end of a day as I would settle down. Typically occuring at some point between 9pm and midnight. This was when I would try and watch an episode of some show on Netflix, scrubbing the day's stress from my mind, allowing me to sleep well.
I realized that all of the social settings were triggers to drink, but they were also settings that I did not want to remove myself from entirely. As someone who works from home, being social is already a challenge that requires being proactive. I knew if I continuously avoided invitations to hang out, I may stop getting any invitations. So while managing the triggers was possible, eliminating them was not going to be a part of my plan.
Step Two: Recruit someone to act as an accountability partner.
I have several friends that could play this role, however I reached out to Jeff Buhr. I knew that we would be in some social settings together, which would help. I also knew that he would not let me go back on my commitment, without some amount of ridicule or disappointment. I believe that this was one of the most critical steps in my process. The couple times that I tried to accomplish this on my own, I failed. It is often easier to let yourself down, or make an excuse, when it is only you that is acting as the judge and jury of your behavior. An added bonus, is that Jeff and I have been competitive over the years in athletics (however not all that much recently), so I figured some of those competitive memories may help.
Step Three: Develop the reward or punishment.
I know myself well enough that choosing a reward was not going to be all that useful. The immediate gratification of having a beer with friends, is way too powerful of a temptation, when compared to the reward that might come at a later date. I understood that I needed to make the consequence of drinking the beer (or alcohol) immediate to the behavior, much like the gratification of drinking it would be.
To do this, I used the behavioral economic principle of 'loss aversion'. I understood that losing some money was going to be more powerful than gaining some money (or reward). In my program, I agreed to pay Jeff $50 for every week that I had any drink of alcohol. To be honest, when I designed the program, I assumed that there would be a week or two that I had a drink. In that case, I could then pay Jeff the $50 and have a few more drinks during that week, which is why I did not say "$50 for every drink".
I did actually commit to paying myself the $50 for every week that I did not drink. I actually never followed through on this part of the program. This is just another example of how strong the principle of loss aversion can be. Gaining the $50 meant nothing, but losing the $50 to Jeff was powerful.
The other piece to this program was that I made the impact of the loss big enough to matter. I am absolutely positive that if the deal we had was that I had to pay $5, $10 or $20 each week I had a drink, I would have easily paid the money. There were definitely days that paying $25 to have a drink at the bar with friends would have been worth it. But, for me, when the cost of the beer went from $5 to $55 (the drink plus the payment to Jeff), it gave me enough pause to chose to pass.
Step Four: Determine the duration and monitoring methods.
We agreed to do the program for six months, with Jeff checking in each Sunday on how I did for the week.
The first few months definitely required some willpower. I had to learn how to navigate all those settings I mentioned in step one, adopting new behaviors. The two most challenging settings were for very different reasons. The first was when we were at a friend's service who had passed from cancer. Being around close friends, with heavy hearts and spending a lot of time reflecting, was a time that felt like it warranted a drink or two. The second setting was when I was in Chicago on a work trip. The trip was specifically so we could accept an award for being one of the best places to work in Chicago. Times of celebration, also warrant a drink. Luckily the accountability and program was strong enough to support my efforts and desires.
There were a few other times in the first six months, such as the trip Nikki, her parents and I made to the Smokey Mountains. It is pretty challenging to visit all the moonshine distilleries and not participate. There was also the Husker football game in Illinois, where Steve, Jason and I had to watch one of the more disturbing losses a Nebraska team has had in years. That definitely warranted a drink.
However, I have found that the past four or five months, I have not really had to think about it too much. I no longer feel awkward ordering a coke when everyone orders their bourbon, wine or beer. I also have been gaining a better understanding that many times that I would order a beer, it was just a conditioned response. Sure, I do love a good craft beer – but I also enjoy an Ale 8 too. So I can feel all warm and fuzzy about supporting a local craft bottled product, that earns me hipster points and I don't have to have the alcohol that comes with it.

CITU, AIKS, AIAWU Condemn Police Firing on Dalits
THE All India Agricultural Workers Union (AIAWU) and the All India Kisan Sabha (AIKS) note how the response to the call for a Bharat Bandh by various dalit organisations has been widespread in states like Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and Uttar Pradesh, reflecting the anger against the Supreme Court's decision to dilute the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act and the refusal of the central government to deal with the situation adequately.
The unions, in a statement issued on April 2, have condemned the brutal police firing which has led to the death of four people in Gwalior, Bhind and Morena in BJP ruled Madhya Pradesh. One person has died in Alwar, Rajasthan. In many other places, there have been attacks by police on protestors.
Such a situation has arisen because of the failure of the Modi government to present an effective case against the dilution of the Prevention of Atrocities Act.
It is imperative that the review petition in the Supreme Court be effectively argued by the government counsel and the effectiveness of the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities Act) should not be violated.
In a statement issued on April 3, the CITU has condemned the brutal killings and attacks on dalits. During its four years rule, the BJP government has earned an infamous record of organised atrocities on dalits throughout the country by its various wing organisations, with patronisation and indulgence by the government administration. Calling upon the workers to raise a united voice of protest against such atrocities and killings, CITU expressed solidarity with the struggles by dalits for justice and protection against atrocities. It reiterated its demand for strong intervention by the government for urgent review of the concerned Supreme Court judgment and other appropriate legislative measures to prevent any dilution of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act.

Building designs, floor plans and an artist's impression of the site will be on display at a three day showcase event at Peterborough Cathedral.
The first three faculties of the university will include business, innovation entrepreneurship and professional services.
It is on track to open its doors to its first 2,000 students in 2022.
Proposals for the build will be submitted to Peterborough City Council in early spring.
Mayor of Peterborough and Cambridgeshire Combined Authority, James Palmer, said: "I am delighted to pull up the curtain on plans for a new technical university in Peterborough, a cause close to my heart and what will be a major driver for economic growth across Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and the surrounding areas.
"Peterborough has seen rapid expansion in both population and employment levels in recent years.
"Skills growth, however, has not kept up and skills levels in Peterborough are currently in the bottom 10 per cent of the country.
You may also want to watch:
"Unlike traditional universities that offer academic learning only, the University of Peterborough will provide students with the necessary training and skills to be directly successful in a range of employment disciplines.
"What's more, the university will deliver courses that are targeted specifically towards industries across Peterborough where demand currently outstrips availability of skilled workers, creating a pipeline of future employees."
Courses will be delivered through a mixture of on campus lessons, in-work training and apprenticeships and distance learning.
Planned future faculties include health and social care, engineering, manufacturing and advanced manufacturing.
The public can drop in and give their views on the plans and members of the project team will be on hand to talk them through at three sessions.
They will take place on February 4 from 4pm to 7pm, February 5 from 2pm to 7pm and February 6 from 2pm to 7pm.
The university aims to work with local businesses to help shape the curriculum and secure opportunities for employability.

SACRAMENTO (CBS / AP) — Gov. Jerry Brown has formally nominated Xavier Becerra to be California's next attorney general.
The Democratic governor submitted Becerra's name to the Legislature Tuesday, the same day Kamala Harris resigned from the attorney general post to take her seat in the U.S. Senate.
The Assembly and Senate will have 90 days to confirm Becerra. Top legislative leaders have spoken highly of Becerra and he's likely to see a smooth confirmation.
The Democratic Becerra is the highest-ranking Latino in Congress. He has represented parts of Los Angeles for 24 years but faced a less appealing future in Washington after the election of incoming Republican President Donald Trump.
As Brown's pick for attorney general, he's taken a combative stance against Trump and promised to defend California's liberal policies.

It was nearly the same play on which North Carolina lost the 2016 NCAA title. It's now the reason North Carolina has a clear path to the 2017 national championship. A guard pushes hard in the open court, then fans a pass to a trailing teammate, whose shot plays the sweetest of string music.
In Houston last spring, it was Villanova's Ryan Arcidiacano flipping the ball to Kris Jenkins, whose title-winning trey soared over the outstretched arms of Carolina's Isaiah Hicks. Here Sunday, it was Carolina's Theo Pinson, who's a guard but not a point guard, dumping it to Luke Maye, who's not even a starter, for the basket over a straining Isaiah Briscoe that won the South Regional and sent the Heels winging to the Final Four as the overwhelming favorite.
"When it's over six seconds (remaining), we want to push," Carolina coach Roy Williams said. "I was yelling at Theo, 'Go! Go!'"
Maye's shot sailed true with three-tenths of a second remaining. When it did, Kentucky's Malik Monk, whose two 3-pointers in the frantic final seconds forged an improbable tie, did the darnedest thing. He pulled out his blue-and-white mouthpiece and smiled. Sometimes, as baseball managers are forever saying, you just have to tip your figurative cap to the other guy.
The final score — 75-73 — and the stunning last minute might suggest that these two bluebloods produced a classic game between peers. This wasn't that. This was a game Carolina could have won by halftime. ("We should have been down 15," Kentucky coach John Calipari said.) Four of the Wildcats' five starters were whistled for two first-half fouls. They ended the half with Briscoe and four reserves whittling the Heels' from eight points to five.
Calipari: "It's amazing that we were in the game where they practically fouled out my team."
This isn't to suggest that the Wildcats were wronged on every whistle. The two fouls called against De'Aaron Fox, who'd scored 39 points against UCLA on Friday, were silly. First he tried to draw a charge from Carolina's Stilman White. Then Fox swiped White across the arms. Why exactly was maybe the best point guard in the country so concerned with a deep-dish sub known to Carolina fans as "Poor Stilman" for his overmatched emergency turn in a 2012 regional final?
Years from now — heck, hours from now — folks will note this game's stats and wonder how it was ever close. Carolina hit a higher percentage of its field goals and its free throws and outrebounded Kentucky by 12. With 7:27 to play, Fox and Monk, who'd combined for 60 points versus the Bruins, had 14 between them — and somehow the Heels trailed.
"They outplayed us," Calipari said. "But I am proud of these guys."
With 5:03 remaining, Kentucky led 64-59. Williams called timeout, which as we know he hates to do, and the game changed. Pinson scored on a tough drive. Justin Jackson hit an even tougher shot from the lane. Pinson made two free throws. Within 101 seconds, the Heels were back in front.
As important as those points were, what Carolina did at the other end told the tale. Williams had his team switch to a zone, which he also hates doing, and it worked. Kentucky went scoreless on its next six possessions, after which it trailed 71-64 with 53.5 seconds remaining.
Then Fox hit a trey. Then Monk hit two. But before you could say, "Is this thing really tied?" it was tied no longer, untied forever.
Calipari: "I probably should have called timeout (after Monk's tying hoop). It entered my mind, but they got it in so fast. I should have stopped that."
Williams, asked if Maye's winner was a designed play or a bit of improvisation: "A little bit of both. I like to try to score in the open court and we practice that every day."
For most of the game, the Heels appeared the better team, and not by a little. Kentucky was reduced to getting points from Dominique Hawkins and especially Isaac Humphries, a 7-foot sophomore from Australia. It was unthinkable that a game featuring talents on the order Jackson and Fox and Monk had become a duel of jump shots between Maye (17 points) and Humphries (12), but there it was. March makes for strange bedfellows.
And uncanny symmetry. In the team's December meeting in Las Vegas, Kentucky pushed the ball after a Joel Berry miss and saw Monk — who scored 47 points that night, 35 fewer than he managed this time — hit the winning 3-pointer. (Also: Carolina's final possession was a Maye turnover.) When, in the midst of this celebration, one of his players mentioned that bit of transition that had bitten the Heels, Williams wasn't sure if he meant Kentucky and Monk or Villanova and Arcidiacano-to-Jenkins.
"But it's like that old Southern saying," Williams said. " 'Frankly, my dear, I don't give a … "
No reason he should. This time his team won.

Workplace Threats & Staff Conflict
"Our organization had to work through a conflict between program participants that was affecting everyone involved: program participants, staff, interns, and visitors to the facility. Threats of physical violence had been made. We wanted to avoid this at all costs!
The CRC staff came immediately to help me work through this with my staff and program participants. [Using this process] Everyone was heard and had their interests protected.
Although it was tough and it wasn't a "magic fix," it helped diffuse the situation to a level that was manageable for all parties. It brought us together as a staff in new ways. Participants said they walked away from the conference feeling empowered.
It worked so well, we used the process a second time to clear up some staff conflict. We learned how to see others' perspectives better in a conflict –and how to work as a team! It was a new experience for all of us and we each took something different away from it."

These crispy, salty skillet potatoes are a fantastic side dish for any number of meals. However, we especially love them served with our Braised Octopus in Tomato Sauce.
How to Make It
Heat oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add potatoes to pan, cut side down. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 8 minutes. Flip potatoes and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until fork tender, about 10-12 minutes. Season with sea salt and black pepper.

have to have the but cap diamond etched and then polished. The grip is a 6 inch cork Flor Grade Cigar shape grip. I think the reel seat with Cross and the Cigar handle look really nice.
I added a Jungle Cock Feather inlay, and also inscribed the rod with "the Fiberglass Manifesto" below the feather.
The fly rod blank is rolled by Mike Mcarland, but is slower than most of his stuff. I wanted a 6 foot 11 inch 2 or 3 weight 3 piece rod for fishing small streams and blue gill. The added couple inches from a 6'6" helps the rod cast smoother and feel more like a longer rod, but have that tight feel of a short rod.
The rod will be made with double foot guides because that was what Cameron wanted, however I have found that these rods shot line better and are lighter with single foot guides. The added weight of the double foots on the tip add weight and in turn slow down recovery speed of the blank while casting.
The rod will be wrapped in a honey silk thread color and will have tiny alignment dots in black. It should be pretty beautiful when complete.
Here is a Post from the Fiberglass Manifesto Blog.
Jordan Ross of JP Ross Fly Rod & Co. spent this past weekend at his cabin and was struck with a bit of "spirited" inspiration before bed which he shares in this post.
Jordan Ross wrote...
"It's the last weekend before Christmas, and I still have over a dozen rods to ship out tomorrow for last minute orders that came through. So after the last one was epoxied, I sat in the Cabin with Montana and Patton, listening to Jimmy Buffet. I could not go in just yet. There still was something left I had to do...something creative. So I grabbed a glass and poured a pinch of creative goodness and started working on The Fiberglass Manifesto rod case cap.
Trying to make a theme rod for Cameron is a lot of fun, especially when you have a Facebook following and a website like he does. Everyone loves giving their opinion about what should go on The Fiberglass Manifesto Eagle Creek Special. But many people do not realize that this is what we have been doing for fifteen years. I started JP Ross Fly Rod & Co. before I could legally drink that glass of scotch I just poured. For over a decade we have been making corporate theme rods for people, just like this one, except this one is a bit more special, because its glass."
"I enjoy making this rod for Cameron for two reasons, it's fun to do for a nice guy like him, and its probably one of the last fiberglass rods I will be making.
The influx of fiberglass fly rod makers to the scene has really taken the wind out of my sales with glass. There are so many new makers that I probably will go back to my strong suit and make quality graphite small stream rods. Kabuto Rods and Scott Fly Rod Company in my opinion are the leaders, and I tip my hat to them. I wish Tom Dorsey at Thomas & Thomas would push his designs more. He is a great guy and a terrific designer. As for me? The Reuben Wood was my biggest achievement for the glass market. No one had the guts to put a silver ferrule on a glass rod, but we did. To me the Reuben Wood is a testament to old world glass. Probably like Cameron, I had been fishing glass fly rods for many many years before the glass boom he pretty much created. Fenwick and Garcia were by far my favorites, and still are. All with metal ferrules.
So as the temp dips down some more, and the glass of Johnny Walker Blue Label begins to evaporate into my throat, I put the finishing touches on this quaint case cap. I hope that Cameron gets as much enjoyment out of this rod as I have gotten from making it.
More to come. This week I wrap it with silk."
I really appreciate how much time and consideration that Jordan is putting into this build and I look forward to seeing it continue to come together step by step.

CANNES 2015 Competition / France
Four French directors in search of the Palme d'Or
- Jacques Audiard and Maïwenn are back in the Cannes competition, where they have already won awards, while Valérie Donzelli and Stéphane Brizé will be making their debuts
While Thierry Frémaux conceded that selecting the French contenders for the Palme d'Or 2015 at the 68th Cannes Film Festival (13-24 May 2015) had been heartbreaking for him, owing to the plentiful supply and seven films that were worthy of being included in the competition, four filmmakers have managed to fight their way through to the finest showcase of world cinema.
With Dheepan [+see also:

Q&A: Jacques Audiard
film profile], Jacques Audiard (soon to be 63 years old) will be in competition for the fourth time, following his participation in 1996 (A Self Made Hero – winner of the Best Screenplay Award), 2009 (A Prophet [+see also:

film profile]). Among the cast of his seventh feature are Antonythasan Jesuthasan, Kalieaswari Srinivasan, Claudine Vinasithamby, Vincent Rottiers and Marc Zynga. Written by the director himself together with Noé Debré and Thomas Bidegain, the story revolves around Dheepan, a Tamil independence fighter in Sri Lanka who flees defeat and his country with a woman and a little girl whom he doesn't know, thus hoping to be granted political asylum in Europe more easily. After their arrival in Paris, this "family" gets by in a shelter until Dheepan gets a job as a caretaker in the suburbs. There, he hopes to build a new life and a genuine home, but the day-to-day violence of the council estate reopens old wounds from the war... Produced by Pascal Caucheteux for Why Not, the film benefited from a budget of €7.98 million, including co-productions by France 2 Cinéma and Page 114, pre-purchases by Canal+ and Ciné+, and backing from the Ile-de-France region. UGC will handle the release in French theatres on 19 August. Celluloid Dreams and Wild Bunch are working together to manage the international sales.

interview: Maïwenn
film profile]. Starring Vincent Cassel, Emmanuelle Bercot, Louis Garrel, Isild Le Besco, Ludovic Berthillot and Romain Sandère, her fourth feature (which she co-wrote with Etienne Comar) sees Tony forced to learn to walk again in a rehabilitation centre following a serious knee injury. Her physical suffering is compounded by her memories of the long years spent trying to rid herself of the influence of a man, a charismatic swindler who is destroying her bit by bit and with whom she had a son... Produced by Alain Attal for Les Productions du Trésor for a budget of €9.87 million, Mon roi was co-produced by France 2 Cinéma and StudioCanal (which will bring the movie out in France on 21 October and which is selling it abroad), with pre-purchases by Canal+ and Ciné+, and backing from the Ile-de-France region.
With her fourth feature, Marguerite et Julien [+see also:

film profile] (Cannes Critics' Week in 2011, the French candidate for the Oscar for Best Foreign-language Film in 2012, six nominations for the César Awards in 2012) has adapted (together with Jérémie Elkaïm) a screenplay written by Jean Gruault in 1971 for François Truffaut. In the story, the son and daughter of the Lord of Tourlaville have been in love since childhood, but their tender affection for one another gradually turns into an all-consuming passion. Their affair completely outrages society, which then hunts them down... The cast includes Anaïs Demoustier, Jérémie Elkaïm, Aurélia Petit, Frédéric Pierrot, Bastien Bouillon Sami Frey, Catherine Mouchet and Géraldine Chaplin. Produced by Edouard Weil and Alice Girard for Rectangle Productions for a budget of €6.82 million, Marguerite et Julien was co-produced by France 2 Cinéma with backing from the Ile-de-France region, among others. The movie will be distributed in France on 30 September by Wild Bunch, which is also handling the international sales.

film profile] (winner of the César Award for Best Screenplay in 2010) and A Few Hours of Spring [+see also:
film review
film profile] (popular at Locarno in 2012 – four nominations for the César Awards in 2013). Starring Vincent Lindon, Karine Petit de Mirbeck and Matthieu Schaller, the film (co-written with Olivier Gorce) revolves around a 51-year-old man who, after being unemployed for 20 months, begins a job as a security guard in a hypermarket and finds himself facing a moral dilemma when he is asked to keep tabs on his colleagues... Produced by Christophe Rossignon and Philipp Boëffard for Nord-Ouest Films for a budget of €2 million, La loi du marché was co-produced by Arte France Cinéma with support from Canal+, Ciné+ and the Ile-de-France region. Diaphana will handle the theatrical release on 20 May, while MK2 International is in charge of international sales.

Click here to read The New Camp (pt. 2)
Last week, we took a closer look at new camp favorite Michael Lucid of Pretty Things. Today, we're going to talk to Chris Vargas and Greg Youmans of Falling in Love…with Chris and Greg
Popular for their radically queer take on the sitcom, Chris and Greg have formed quite the following at LGBT film festivals and through their YouTube channel, LovingChrisandGreg.
Falling in Love is a situation comedy about a gay odd couple, one liberal, one radical; one transgendered, one not. They don't have a whole lot in common, but somehow they manage.
H.P.: Falling in Love has a very frank and crass appraisal of a relationship you never see on the screen. How have trans audiences responded to the shorts you've screened at festivals?
GREG YOUMANS: Trans people are our biggest audience! Which is not to say that everyone within the huge diverse category of "trans" likes the show, but simply that our most supportive audiences at festivals have been trans audiences, or maybe more precisely: queer audiences heavy on the trans.
CHRIS VARGAS: It's true: trans people are our biggest supporters. But at first we were surprised not to have received any direct criticism for our irreverently comic handling of some really serious issues. Greg's character in particular is terrible. He says awful things, but maybe people trust us because they know we're a real couple and that I wouldn't be with Greg if he were really like his character. Who knows though, maybe people are hating us behind our backs and gearing up for an intervention.
GREG: In general, it seems that people either aren't offended by the project or else they don't feel like they can approach us with their concerns. Or perhaps they're offended but they don't think approaching us about it would accomplish anything. Whatever the case, it's disappointing to us because we do want to push buttons and to create dialogue around tricky issues. Hearing only from people who like the project and aren't offended by it is nice, but we'd like to hear from others too, if they're out there.
In terms of my character specifically, I hope people don't think I'm as offensive and ignorant as "Greg" in the show. More scary is when people think I'm exactly like "Greg" and they're excited to meet me because they think he's great.
HP: What I find refreshing about Falling in Love with Chris and Greg is the campy way in which it depicts a relationship that can sour without any warning.
HP: The "Hair Breakdown Special" is the first time we get to see Chris get mean spirited, and it is DELICIOUS. In any episode, how close is the material to your real lives?
GREG: It's always inspired by our real lives and real relationship, but its spins into caricature very quickly. For an odd-couple-type project like this one, any little difference between us can't stay little. It immediately has to become polarized and absurd.
CHRIS: It's a really great way to work out our relationship issues, and cheaper than therapy! No, but it's partially true: blowing up actual issues to the point of absurdity helps to diffuse their impact… most of the time.
HP: Influences? Or what makes you laugh?
GREG: Molly Shannon has been very important to me since high school. (I thought she had come into my life much earlier than that, but I just checked the dates.) I can remember my friend Jamie and I busting a gut over virtually everything she did on Saturday Night Live. As far as films: Little Shop of Horrors (Audrey I cracked me up, not Audrey II), Airplane!, and Raising Arizona (mainly for Holly Hunter's performance). Growing up though I was actually more about melodrama: Ordinary People, Trip to Bountiful, Beaches, that kind of gay.
CHRIS: My early memories are a bit foggy but I remember really liking The Muppet Show as a young kid, then Green Acres and Ernest Goes To Camp as a preteen—I think I watched the latter everyday for one whole summer. At 15 years old I saw John Waters' Desperate Living and it changed my life forever—it was my first taste of trashy queer camp and I wanted to live it. I also loved Ren & Stimpy and Strangers With Candy! Amy Sedaris is a genius.
GREG: SpongeBob is amazing. I'm also really into The Mighty Boosh—first season especially, for the relationship and banter between Howard and Vince.
CHRIS: SpongeBob Squarepants makes me seriously "LOL". Yeah, Greg pointed out to me that the SpongeBob humor is almost always about the culture of menial labor which remind me: our Netflix queue says I'm really into workplace comedies and I think it's correct. Strangers With Candy is still one of my all-time favorites and I will probably forever measure others against it. I am a faithful fan of 30 Rock. Greg recently introduced me to the British comedies The IT Crowd and French & Saunders, which I'm newly into. Honestly, it's sad to admit that my humor hasn't evolved since childhood. Though of course now I'm much more sensitive to racist, homophobic, transphobic, fucked-up humor, which is to say I'm more up tight.
HP: I love how verbose both of your characters are! The writing is so absurdly exaggerated and/or offensive, yet in a wordy way that makes everything so quotable. Do you have favorite lines from Falling in Love?
CHRIS: For my character, who is a caricature of a kind of Bay Area queer who manipulates the language of radical politics to his advantage, I like when I say to my best friend Durt, about Greg: "He just has a lot of unresolved issues. He's never gone but I keep urging him to go to therapy. I tell him 'I've done a lot of emotional work on myself ALREADY, and I need you to do that work too so we can come together and be more stable.'"
HP: The visuals really add to the humor of that line.
GREG: For my character, it's the line in "Food!" where I say to Chris: "I'm sorry I get so weird about my body sometimes. I know that that's the last thing a tranny needs in a boyfriend." In terms of what we're trying to do with the gay liberal position, that says it all. The character clearly thinks he's being sensitive and thoughtful, but you could spend half an hour unpacking everything that's fucked up about what he's just said. In terms of the queer radical Bay Area culture that Chris mentioned, I also love it when Durt says in that same scene: "For my own personal self-care, and this is really hard for me to say, but…" I love the triple redundancy of "for my own personal self-care."
HP: You just put out Season 1 of Falling in Love on DVD. What can we look forward to seeing in the future?
GREG: This summer we are thrilled to participate in the RADAR Lab, a ten-day writing retreat in Mexico, where we'll sort out our second season. Right now we're taking a hiatus between seasons because Chris and I are both swamped until May. I'm busy writing a book on the 1977 gay and lesbian documentary Word is Out as part of a new series on Queer Film Classics put out by Arsenal Pulp Press.
CHRIS: I'm currently working on a narrative short that merges Liberace's biography with the history of AIDS activism; this will be part of a video installation at the Berkeley Art Museum for my MFA thesis show. Also, my other collaborator, Eric Stanley and I are working to finish up Criminal Queers, a feature-length movie we've been working on for 4 years now that is a super campy critique of the Prison Industrial Complex and its impact on queer and trans communities.
For a really good taste/intro to Falling in Love, here is their first episode, broken into three parts. Enjoy!

Children's Fiction | Princess Poppy Please Please Save the Bees | Janey Louise Jones
We're delighted to be sharing Laura's thoughts on publication day for Princess Poppy, Please Please Save the Bees by Janey Louise Jones.
Not only does this gorgeous children's book introduce children to the need of nurturing our environment, it is also ethically produced by Eden Cooper on Forestry Stewardship Council paper using vegetable dye inks, made in Scotland to avoid airmiles.
Children are never too young to learn, here's Laura's little one getting ready to settle down to his bedtime story for Princess Poppy Please Please Save the Bees.
New Princess Poppy is an advocate, activist and junior environmentalist that children will love and admire!
In Princess Poppy Please Please Save the Bees, join Poppy and her friends as they discover why the bees have gone missing from Honeypot Hill. Without the bees there will be no more delicious strawberries, tomatoes, peas or honey treats. What can Princess Poppy do to save the bees?
Follow the adventures of Princess Poppy and discover nature with her!
Princess Poppy Please, Please Save the Bees is a beautiful children's book aimed at young readers and conservationists.
My first impression of the front cover was how attractive it is with beautiful illustrations and plenty of colour to entice young readers. I adored the illustrations and as I turned to the inside page I loved the colourful and informative map.
This is a wonderful story highlighting the crisis of both bumblebees and honey bees and the environmental costs it would have.
Princess Poppy and her friend, Honey discover that bees are in danger of disappearing and both learn it will effect honey, fruit and vegetables.
So Poppy decides to help to save the bees by organising a march to highlight this issue at the fair.
A great story with stunning illustrations, with information at the end of the book, which explains how everyone can support and look after our bees.
Janey Louise Jones was born in Edinburgh and grew up by the seaside just outside the city. Janey read English at Edinburgh University specializing in the Victorian novel. Following this she became a teacher – a career that she absolutely adored – and then, with her husband, set up The Jelly Club, which has become an extremely successful chain of children's activity centres in Scotland. She still very much enjoys visiting schools and talking to children to find out what they like doing and what makes them laugh. Janey and her husband live in Edinburgh with their three sons.

Plot: Agent Lewis Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist, Jr.) is back in action, along with his frequent partner Special Agent Jim Rhodes (Stephen Brooks). These two have collared all manner of law breakers, from extortionists to murderers to organized crime families, never afraid to stand up for justice and protect the public. Erskine continues to bury himself in the work and luckily for him, there's no shortage of criminals. The duo are dispatched all over the place, assigned some of the toughest cases on the docket, but of course, Erskine welcomes the challenges. The stakes are high case after case, with terrorists, saboteurs, and killers on the loose, with only the FBI in the path to shut down their nefarious acts of violence. Erskine thrives on the open and shut cases where he can deliver conclusive justice, but he finds himself in some complex situations here, where what's right isn't as clear as he would like. But no matter how complicated or dangerous the case, Erskine is always prepared to do what needs to be done.
Entertainment Value: This review covers the second half of the first season of The FBI, with the first half reviewed here. This second half of the season continues the work in the first half, but does seem to start to pull in a certain direction. Erskine remains the central character, but at first the show seemed to want to show some of his personal side as well as professional. That is still true to an extent at this point in the season, but you can tell the focus is shifting toward the cases over private affairs. That is kind of a let down, as Erskine is an interesting character, but it balances out because that means more time is devoted to the cases. And these sixteen episodes offer some whoppers, with Neo-Nazis, war criminals, espionage, hijackers, kidnappers, and more, so these are not run of the mill investigations. I also appreciated that several of these cases involved hot button social issues, as it gives a small peek into the social climate of the time. The show might be starting to offer more complexities within the cases, but it remains resolute that the law is pretty much infallible. That earnest approach is likely to honk some folks off, but it is what it is, a product of its era.
The show also remains consistent about how the cases are treated, with an emphasis on old school detective work and by the book tactics. This might seem antiquated, but it honestly feels fresh, given the endless gimmicks crime shows have these days. This approach also limits the writers and forces them to plan out the cases, as there's no magic bullet fix or wild twist to resolve the crimes. As I said, the show seems to be veering away from the personal lives of the agents, but that doesn't mean the performances suffer. Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. is still quite good as the all business, no pleasure Erskine. He is able to convey the weariness of Erskine well, but also the intense dedication to the work, which is about all you can ask. I do wish he had more chances to explore the character, as I do feel like there's untapped potential there, but he does well with he has to work with. Stephen Brooks is also fine as his partner and by this point, they seem to be settling in a little more, but that could also be me starting to settle in as a viewer, either way the performances are solid. A host of guest stars also appear, including Kurt Russell, Ed Asner, and one of my personal favorite actors of all time, the great Charles Bronson. These sixteen episodes were a pleasure to watch and for fans of classic television or crime shows, well worth a look.

The Israeli Narrative
2nd year, Shenkar.
Design of framework and editing of The Israeli Narrative teaser.
The Israeli Narrative Project was conceived with the aim of adjusting the world's view of Israel to more closely match its reality. In collaboration with the Wharton School, and based on the perceptions of nation brands in the Best Countries report, the teaser reel you just saw is a complex audio-visual and digital portrait of modern Israel through cutting-edge art and design.

Dallas-based VARIDESK was an innovator in the healthy workspace area and rapidly became one of the world's leading manufacturers of desktop-mounted sit-stand workstations.
In the face of market commoditisation and strong competition, VARIDESK asked DPR&Co to assist in:
- Achieving a marketing stance tailored to an Australian audience including an enhanced approach to targeting and channel selection, media buying, creative development and campaign deployment
- Adapting to changes in the evolving global market (as Australia is generally considered to be the world's most advanced market in the office fit-out area).
DPR&Co began by smoothly managing the transition from the previous media agency and began instigating a series of improvements that dramatically increased media performance, including a continuously improving reach and frequency balance, a rebalancing of ATL/digital spend in order to increase the number of sales leads, improved attribution modelling and enhanced dashboards that provided a comprehensive real-time window on performance.
We also recommended moving away from US-created global advertising to locally developed testimonial-based campaigns featuring Australian customers making the case for VARIDESK's superior engineering, ergonomics and build quality.
We worked with the VARIDESK team to identify and recruit VARIDESK advocates and brought them together to shoot four TVCs in a single day. We also shot a range of vision and still imagery for cutaway shots, product profiling and the creation of a new suite of digital assets.
The result was a transformation from the previously 'international' tonality to communications that positioned VARIDESK as the leading sit/stand solution for the Australian market.
VARIDESK held its position as market leader in the face of a significant uplift in competition. ROI targets for the first half of 2018 were ahead of plan.
With the continuing emergence of online sit/stand desk competitors, VARIDESK tasked us to undertake a detailed review to enable a sophisticated understanding of the Australian market across the following facets:
- Corporate and government procurement buyers
- Channel partnership/alliances
- Potential retail partnerships
This work was conducted over a two-month period and will provide the basis for VARIDESK's strategic orientation to the Asia-Pacific market over the next two years.

I have been trying to downsize. I know that there are a lot of thrift stores that just throw away most of the thing that don't get sold. I posted some adds for free toys for anyone that would need them. I just got to the point where I am sick of seeing things that have not been used in forever.ReplyDelete
You're helping me stay motivated. I do want a stock pile, but I don't need a stockpile of toys and clothes that we will not use again.

Dungog Menshed engaged to make a coffin
Like most people Helen Proud wants to leave memories when she dies - but she is taking steps to ensure that's all she leaves.
She wants to leave as light of a trace of her environmental footprint as she can.
So she approached Dungog Menshed to make her a coffin from recycled material.
"I thought at age 74, it was time for me to have a coffin ready that would meet my criteria of a biodegradable, recycled casket that would ensure I would tread lightly on the planet, even after I die," she said.
For Steve Jones, it certainly is the most "unique" thing he has made at the men's shed. The former truck driver has found a passion for carpentry since joining the group but is more used to making Adirondack chairs than coffins.
Helen brought the plans along to Steve who has been working for several weeks on the project.
"You have to work with angles and all sorts of things I had not done before," he said.
John Martins said Dungog Menshed received many unusual requests for special orders but this one-off was the first of its type.
"We have a lot of members here with a variety of skills, we've got all sorts of equipment and Steve spends a lot of time researching things and has got right into the woodworking side," he said.
The coffin is made from plywood recovered from a commercial site and rope handles are also from recycled material. The only new components are the screws.
"While none of us know when we will die, we can at least be sure we will," said Helen.
"While we are able, we can plan to make it the best possible dying and death, not only for ourselves but for our loved ones too."
She said while death is inevitably a sad time for those left behind, she hopes it will be a happy time for her family and friends.
"I don't want anyone to be sad so I thought a cheerful coffin which the family could paint any way they like as well as putting paintings, poems, stories or letters in the coffin," she said.
"I'd love there to be lots of butterflies, bees and flying foxes painted on the coffin for they are what will pollinate our planet and ensure life in the future, with or without us.
"Not every death will be a happy death as illness, accidents, or bad life choices will sometimes be part of a death, but acceptance will end the fear and help everyone prepare for its inevitability.
"There is no way to cheat death. It is part of the gift we got when we got life."
In having her three grand children decorate her new coffin she hopes they don't carry negative feelings about death.
"And when their time comes to die they will make it a happy death day and not be afraid of it."

Publication Date
How effective is an advertising campaign that has consistently used the same theme since consumers' early childhood? To answer that question one has to consider the effect the campaign has had on consumers' memory. This research begins by discussing the structure of memory and schematic processes that occur when similar or related information is presented over time. Evidence is reviewed which suggests that early exposure would be critical in the brand schema's development. An experiment that tests the strength of the brand schema in a competitive environment and a survey that explores the importance of time of initial exposure to present-day affect and attitudes toward the brand are presented. The implications of the results for advertising research and practice are then discussed.

Selena Gomez's Pretty Crown Braid — How To Copy Her Look
Selena posted a cute photo of her romantic hairdo on Instagram on April 25 — we're here to help you copy her look!
Selena Gomez always looks stunning, but we especially loved her pretty and romantic braided updo she showed off online on April 25. Get it with expert tips right here!
Selena Gomez's Crown Braid — Get The Look
Selena's crown braid is the perfect look for summer since it keeps your hair out of the way on hot days.
Add a bold red lip like Sel did, and you can be out the door in 15 minutes!
How To Get A Crown Braid — Expert Tips
Veep star Anna Chulmsky rocked a similar crown braid at the NYC premiere for Veep on April 6.
Braiding expert Sarah Potempa created the look, and is sharing her step by step below:
"1) Brush hair out with the SARAHPOTEMPA On Set Styling Brush to detangle hair.
2) Start in the lower back right of the hair and section out a clean semi-circle up. Clip remaining hair away with the SARAHPOTEMPA Darby Clips.
3) French braid by taking three pieces and going right over middle, left over middle, while adding pieces from the root. Continue to French braid along the hairline all the way around to the other ear. TIP: Release the Darby Clip when you get to the hairline to add that hair in.
4) Once all the hair is in the French braid, apply Aussie's Miraculously Smooth Tizz No Frizz Gel to the ends to make sure all the layers get in the braid. Take the tail end of the braid, wrap it around to follow the braid and tuck it under and secure with hair pins."
Do you love Selena's crown braid?

In 1679 a rebbeilion occuried in Lowland Scotland after years of religious persecution by an authoritarian state who tried to force religious change on the Scots There were three battles, the last being the largest Flags were used in the campaign at skirmishes at Drumclog and Glasgow and final battle at Bothwell Bridge where the Covernanter forces were defeated. Strangley, he leader of the English forces was James Scott, The Duke of Monmouth !

Free Flags of what James 11, Monmouths flags and Williams111,did and could have looked like
There is very little information about the flag flown by Monmouths forces. There are a few references to 'Red regiments and Blue Regiments etc and Monmouths flag having 'Fear nothing but God', written on, but little else other than the number of flags being 27 and they were made at Taunton by young ladies at a school The blue flag with three white 'pile wavys', labelled Monmouths blue regiment, but the story is that it was captured during the Sedgemoor campaign and remained in the possesion of the same family until recent years. It may have been a rebel or a royal flag and still exists in a museum
The second batch of flags are for the army of James the second, except the yellow flag with three pile wavy which is a conjectional Monmouth colour
All flags designed, drawn and coloured by the amazing
Kev Ward. More flags to come !
Flags used by the army of William 111, in England in 1688 and against James 11, forces in Ireland 1689 to 1691

Album: Are You Experienced
Complex says: When The Beatles played voices backwards on records, folk thought they were trying to summon Satan. When Jimi does it you feel like you're watching reverse footage of a black hole swallowing a star gone supernova. The freakiest sound in his trickbag is made even freakier when you're told that he figured the telemetry out while listening to a backwards take of the song. If you don't know how freaky that is, imagine driving blindfolded in reverse on a three-lane highway at night and only using your ears to navigate and evade oncoming traffic.

Backpacking the Siouxon
When my husband asks me what I want to do for my birthday, I almost always say backpacking. I grew up hiking and camping with my family almost every summer and while sometimes it seemed I wasn't enjoying myself, looking back, those are my fondest memories. My husband and I are just now getting back into it. I prefer backpacking and primitive camping compared … Read More Backpacking the Siouxon
