A report by MPs on the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) yesterday disclosed that households across the country face seeing their bills rise after deals worth £17 billion were agreed with energy firms delivering wind-generated power.
Under the contracts, which were agreed by Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, during the last government, but implemented by the Coalition, energy companies are guaranteed an RPI inflation-linked income for 20 years even if they fail to deliver energy to households.
MPs on the PAC accused ministers of failing to learn lessons from failed private finance initiatives and said the costs from the wind farm contracts would now be passed on to consumers.
Ofgem, the energy watchdog, has said it will in future "refine the tender process to deliver greater efficiencies and further benefits to consumers".
David Cameron's official spokesman said that re-examining the terms of the lucrative contracts is "the right thing to do".
If the cost of the latest energy deals is passed on in full to all households equally it would amount to an extra £35 per year for the next two decades.
Christopher Heaton-Harris, the Conservative MP for Daventry, called on the Government to go further and see if the contracts can be now be re-written to get "better value for energy consumers".
"Following the publication of the PAC report, perhaps now is the time to see if we can legally amend these contracts to get better value for energy consumers," Mr Heaton-Harris said.
The criticism emerged as ministers invited wind-farm companies to help draft a new strategy to expand the industry.
Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, and Ed Davey, the Energy Secretary, want wind turbine manufacturers, developers, and wind-farm maintenance companies to have "a core role" in "shaping" the coalition's offshore wind industrial strategy.
Companies are being asked to list their priorities for reform in an effort to ensure that British firms win more of the contracts for the UK's expanding offshore wind farms.
The new strategy will consider whether there are enough sites for testing new equipment on land and offshore and whether more skilled workers will needed in future.
The government's "call for views" also questions whether the current target for at least 50 per cent of the material supplied to wind farms to be built by British firms.

Quebecor World Posts 190M net loss
Monday, May 19, 2008
Press release from the issuing companyMONTREAL, CANADA--(May 15, 2008) - On January 21, 2008, Quebecor World Inc. filed for creditor protection in the United States and Canada due to the inability of the Company to raise new capital in the difficult financial market and to complete the sale of its European operations. The filing was necessary to ensure the long-term sustainable profitability of the Company within a process that ensures fair and equitable treatment for all stakeholders.
Since the initial filing, the Company received the final order for its $1 billion DIP (debtor-in-possession) financing from the U.S. and Canadian courts. The Company also received an extended stay of proceedings under CCAA in Canada to July 25, 2008. The stay of proceeding under the Chapter 11 process is through to July of 2009. As stated in the Monitor's report of May 6, 2008, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $123 million at April 27, 2008 and, as a result of the granting of the Final DIP Order on April 1, 2008, has access to the $400 million Revolving Loan Facility.
Quebecor World has made substantial progress on the advancement of the Chapter 11 and CCAA processes with assistance of the restructuring committee of the Board, its advisors, the Chief Restructuring Officer and input from the Monitor. The Company is developing a business plan which will reflect the Company's expectation of future operating performance both during and after the CCAA and Chapter 11 processes and expects to discuss those shortly with its stakeholders committee's.
Quebecor World announces that for first quarter 2008 it generated revenues of $1.3 billion compared to $1.4 billion in 2007. Operating loss before impairment of assets, restructuring, and other charges (IAROC) and business disposals in the first quarter was $2.8 million compared to operating income of $22.2 million in the first quarter of 2007. On the same basis, adjusted EBITDA was $73.4 million in first quarter 2008 compared to $103.0 million in the first quarter 2007. First quarter results included impairment of assets, restructuring and other charges (IAROC) net of income taxes of $38.0 million compared to $23.1 million in the first quarter last year. In the first quarter of 2008, the Company incurred a non-cash loss of $32 million related to its former UK facility as well as reorganization charges of $14.2 million. The lower adjusted EBITDA in 2008 is attributed to reduced volume, customer losses realized last year in the U.S. book and catalog segments, lower prices related to excess capacity, a weaker world-wide economy and the impact of the creditor protection process.
"We continue to implement the final phases of our three-year retooling and restructuring plan which is being completed in 2008," said Jacques Mallette, President and CEO Quebecor World. "Our refinancing efforts at the end of 2007 and our filing for creditor protection in the U.S. and Canada created uncertainty with selected customers. This resulted in spot volume reductions which contributed to our reduced profitability. However, the overwhelming majority of our customers have been very supportive and we continue to work toward the objective of exiting creditor protection as soon as possible as a strong player in our industry. Our adjusted EBITDA results in the first quarter are also slightly ahead of projections for our DIP financing."
In the last three months Quebecor World has renewed business with major publishers and retailers including, McGraw Hill, Simon and Schuster, Bauer, Wenner Media, Rona, Carrefour Group and many others. The Company is serving all its global customers with superior products and services. This includes enhanced before and after print value-added services as exemplified by Quebecor World's Integrated Multi-Channel Solutions offering to increase the efficiency of customers advertising campaigns. In the coming weeks and months, Quebecor World intends to further expand this and other programs to create additional customer value.
First quarter per share information and restructuring charges
In the first quarter Quebecor World reported a net loss of $190.0 million or ($1.29) per share compared to a net loss of $38.1 million or ($0.34) per share in the first quarter of last year. First quarter results included impairment of assets, restructuring and other charges (IAROC) net of income taxes of $38.0 million or $0.26 per share, compared to $23.1 million or $0.17 per share in the same period in 2007. Excluding IAROC, the adjusted net loss was $152 million or ($1.03) per share in the first quarter 2008 compared to adjusted net loss of $15 million or ($0.17) per share for the first quarter last year.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
In the discussion of our 2008 results, we use certain financial measures that are not calculated in accordance with Canadian generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) or United States GAAP to assess our financial performance, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization), Adjusted EBITDA and operating income before IAROC (impairment of assets, restructuring and other charges) and goodwill impairment. We use such non-GAAP financial measures because we believe that they are meaningful measures of our performance. Our method of calculating these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the methods used by other companies and, as a result, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies. We provide a reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in Figure 5, "Reconciliation of non-GAAP Measures" of our first quarter 2008 management's discussion and analysis filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.Sedar.com and with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. A copy of our first quarter 2008 management's discussion and analysis is also available on the Company's website at www.quebecorworld.com.

text: Lupinacci, who has been freelancing for the last five years, says the point of Anomaly is, in part, to get past the tyranny of the television commercial that dominates the advertising business. "The advertising industry believes they're in the television commercials business, but they're actually in the marketing communications business," he says. "My frustration was that no matter who briefed me, and no matter what the brief was, any idea aside from television commercials was met with resistance. There's a lot of really cool, interesting things going on. To hear the agencies say it, media diversification is this problem to be faced, but we don't see it that way."

Kylie Jenner Seen Without Lip LinerNovember 24, 2014 - Author: steph - No Comments
The questions about Kylie Jenners lips have been buzzing for weeks now. Kylie Jenners lips look totally different then they did just a few months ago. They seem a lot bigger and fuller than usual. Everyone is thinking that maybe the 17 year old Jenner may have had lip injections. But recently Kylie was pulled over and she didn't have any makeup on, revealing her natural lips. It's hard to tell if she has had something done to her lips because they did look bigger than they were a year ago Andrew Heiberger feels, but they are not near as big as they were when she wears her lip liner.
This does answer the question that Kylie is very good with her lip liner and lip stick, but it doesn't answer if she has in fact done something to help improve the look of her lips. Kylie is only 17, and her lips could have changed some. So the question still remains, has Kylie Jenner had her lips done?

LAD I found an opportunity, Ladbrokes (LAD LN)
Labrokes (LAD LN), share price at 1.03 and I think is too cheap, market doesn't seem to price the potential synergies post Coral merger.
Business: LAD operates 2,209 retail shops in the UK and has 0.9m online users. The major competitor is William HIll (WMH LN) which operates 2, 360 shops and has 2.8m online users. WMW was faster in adopting online, after acquiring SportingBet in 2012. Ladbrokes announced a potential merger with Coral and if completed the merged group would become market leader.
Segments: Retail drives 70% of revenue but in first H1 grew by only +1% as customers shift online, Digital contributes 19% and grew by 6.9%, management aims to bring Digital contribution to 30% of total revenue and grow active users to 1.3m with retail growth at +2%
Merger: LAD proposed merger with Coral in an all-share transaction, where LAD will control 51% of the enlarged group. Management projects cost synergies of GBP 65m and emphasises synergies can increase. Coral reported annual revenue GBP 982m and EBITDA GBP 204m with Net Debt GBP 865m. The implied valuation on acquisition, on today's market price (21/8/15) is at x6.7 EV/EBITDA, which is undemanding comparing to WMW
This transaction will not be dilutive to LAD shareholders, at LAD trades on x8.8 EV/EBITDA (Net Debt GBP 413m and consensus EBITDA of 160m )
Synergies: Last year LAD spent on Marketing GBP 82m and Coral GBP50m (WMH 130m) , if the combined group manages to save 30% on marketing, using a single brand (GBP 40m) That could create an additional GBP 350m to shareholders (values at x8.8 EV/EBITDA or GBP 0.19 per share post merger, 1.78b shares). The existing cost synergies GBP 65m, valued at x8.8 EBITDA and taxed at 25% would translate to an additional GBP 0.24 per share.
Online: The merged group will command 14% market share in online gaming (Coral 10% + LAD 4%), ahead of WMH 12% and 888 7%. In online sportsbook the combined group will have 9% market share, bridging the gap with WMH 16%
Cash generation: LAD is a cash generating business, in H1 generated GBP 76m +38%yoy.
Last year (pre re-structuring) LAD generated 130m Operating cash flows which is a 10.7% yield on current EV
Stand alone valuation:
Consensus: Consensus appears to be skeptical on whether the deal will receive the green light from the competition commission, but puts less emphasis on the fact LAD operates in a heavily regulated industry where Gambling Commission sets ceilings on maximum stakes and taxes GGR. Additionally, most customers turn to online, with the retail market shrinking, weakening the point that a merged group would reduce consumer choice.
Divi Even on consensus valuation LAD tradex on a discount to competition, rewarding patience with a 3% divi.

Change that "Denny's menu" playbook to a "Waffle House."
ESPN reported this week that former USC Coach Lane Kiffin was invited by Nick Saban to help evaluate Alabama's offense.
Insert joke here ( ).
USC fans would tell Alabama fans to expect a lot of "bubble screens" in the Tide's Jan. 2 Sugar Bowl game against Oklahoma.
The idea of Kiffin being a consultant to a coach who has won four national titles is pretty intriguing. Kiffin was fired by USC on Sept. 29 and eventually replaced by Steve Sarkisian.
We're not sure what's behind this. Maybe Saban is trying to irritate Tennessee fans, who make it their daily ritual to rip Kiffin for leaving Knoxville for USC after the 2009 season.
Kiffin went 7-6 in his lone year with the Vols, but mind you, his team nearly defeated Alabama that year. The Crimson Tide needed two blocked kicks by Terrence Cody to preserve a 12-10 win in Tuscaloosa.
Alabama went on to win its first BCS national title.
Maybe Saban is worried Doug Nussmeier, his offensive coordinator, may leave to take a head coaching job?
Maybe he wants to hire Kiffin to run his offense? And maybe the whole world has gone crazy?
What Saban really needs is a consultant for his kick return coverage on missed 57-yard field goals against Auburn.
Or maybe this is just Saban picking the brain of someone who has been, like him or not, a head coach at two major universities and one NFL team.
You think Saban picked Kiffin up at the airport?

text: Not sure if anyone else has noticed the improvements that have been made from 4.5 to 5.6 and then 5.8 with the way the charge cable locks into the charge port. With 4.5, I would sometimes have the charge port lock "too soon" when I hadn't inserted the charge cable all the way in and the only way to fix it was to press the button to unlock, pull the cable out, then re-insert. This was especially apparent when my kids would try to plug it in as they would usually not plug it in all the way. In the 5.6 release I noticed that there was a much longer delay between the time you would plug in and the time it would actually lock. This pretty much resolved the issue, but was strange because you didn't feel like you had put it in all the way as there was no feedback. In the 5.8 release, I noticed another change. It feels a lot more like the 4.5 release in that when you plug in, it latches almost immediately, however if you don't put it in all the way, it seems to unlatch by itself letting you push it in all the way without having to pull back out and back in. Anyone else notice this? I actually like the way it works now in 5.8.

So, I put off seeing movies about certain comic characters. Reason being is when it comes to characters or storylines I don't care about, I won't see the movie. Thor is one of those characters. Most of the other Avengers as a whole are characters I just don't care about. Nothing against the Marvel brand whatsoever, it's just I don't wanna go out of my way to spend 13 bucks to see a movie about characters that I never liked. I don't think that's too crazy of an idea.
Antman was one of those characters I've always found to be very boring. Just never got into him. But once Paul Rudd was cast in the role of Scott Lang, I had a lot more interest than I did say, Thor or Jonah Hex or Agents of Shield. Paul Rudd would make this movie entertaining no matter what. And entertaining it was. The visuals, the comedy, the action, the fights. It definitely made me appreciate the character more.
My only complaint is that sometimes it comes off as a silly 1990's superhero movie but not in a bad way. Not a corny Steel or Batman Forever way that panders, but kind of in a "ok, we get the joke and reference to other comic titles and sometimes it seems forced comedy or plotpoint" way. I think in this case, it could've been scaled back. I tend to remember the "Tales To Astonish" line making me want to shake my head. Corey Stoll. also kinda comes off a little too over the top and hokey. Maybe that's just me, I didn't enjoy him as much.
Michael Douglas, much like his father, is one of the greatest living legends in Hollywood. His addition to this movie as the original AntMan, Hank Pym, was perfectly cast. His experience, his wit, his knowledge makes him the perfect Pym who plays as a mentor to Scott Lang. In fact, his chemistry with Rudd may be the best part of the movie.
I highly recommend this. I really think this fits perfectly into the Marvel cinematic universe. If you loved Guardians of the Galaxy, you'll love this. The humor and action are about on par. It's a very fun movie though, so that's what truly matters in my mind. Pick up the bluray for the best viewing experience. This is definitely one movie you can watch and enjoy multiple viewings.

First Audio Post "Do Away With OK"
Do away with OK's and get FREE Ultra Positive feelings in return!
Today I am taking another big step on my journey to becoming a motivational speaker. I figured it was time for me to jump right in and start getting my voice out there. I recorded a similar version of one of the first post that I had written. I just recorded it straight off of my computer. I'm not real confident with the sound of my voice but I think the more I practice speaking and the more passionate I get about positivism, the better my voice will become. I'm going to be putting all of my recordings on YouTube as well. Right now it will be a very simple recording with a very simple message and as I progress I would imagine my recordings will get better and I will start including more in the recordings and the video as well.
Well here it is. I would appreciate any…

In this part, Bruce Schneier talks about methods used by society to induce natural cooperation and minimize the number of defectors to a controllable level.
Now, most of us realize that it's our long-term interest not to succumb to our short-term interest and not to steal, or not to pay our taxes, or not to be a greedy tapeworm. But not everyone acts that way, and that's why we need security. Security is how we keep the number of defectors down to an acceptable minimum, it's how we induce cooperation, which induces trustworthiness, which, in turn, induces trust. This is the mechanism by which society functions in the face of uncooperative parasites.
So, how does this mechanism work? And that's really what I'm writing about, because, I think, that's where it gets interesting. The term I use to describe the measures by which we as society induce cooperation is called 'societal pressures' and I like the term because it is a pressure, it's an inducement, it's a way not to eliminate defectors, but to minimize them, to keep them down to a manageable level. We are never going to reduce stealing in our society to zero, but it has to be low enough that we all can basically ignore the problem, that we can basically live in a high-trust society, even though there is stealing.
– Morals
– Reputation
– Institutional pressures
– Security systems
1 The first one is morals, and by the term 'morals' I mean something very general, I mean basically anything that comes from inside your head that induces you to cooperate and not defect. And most of us don't steal not because we'll get arrested, but because we believe stealing is wrong, and we act on that belief. And there's a lot of really good research that's been done recently in neuroscience on the brain science of morality, and it turns out we do have some innate biological morals, notions of fairness, notions of reciprocity, care, hierarchy.
And these things can be seen in all societies, actually you can even see them in other primates, you can see other basic aspects of human morality in, actually, some other mammals as well. And so a lot of societal pressure comes from inside our own heads, a lot of cooperation comes from within us. There's part of it that's innate, part of it that's cultural, a lot of it is taught by society about what it means to be a moral member of society, and that's changed over the centuries – what the social norms are that we should cooperate in, really different now than in a slave-holding society, and they will be different hundreds of years from now. That's the first, morals.
2 The second is what I call 'reputation'. In this, again, I mean something very general. By reputation I mean any societal pressure that's based on what other people do and think. There's quite a lot of compliance cooperation that we do because we want to be seen by others as a cooperative member of society, as a trusted individual. We, as a social species, rightfully so, put a very high value into what others think about us, and we react to others, we praise for good behavior, we snub for bad behavior, the extreme case of snubbing is ostracism which, in primitive societies, is basically fatal, because as a social species we survive together.
And we do a lot of this today. I mean, if a friend steals my sweater, I'm not going to call the police, I'm just not going to invite him over anymore. I will make decisions based on his reputation. Reputation is extremely important to us, there are a lot of great psychological studies on how much people value reputation, what others think, there's a good theory that language developed as a mechanism for managing reputation. Now, we're not the only species that uses reputation, lots of other primates will watch each other and make decisions based on what they know about other primates, I mean other people of their species. We are the only species that can transfer reputation information. I can tell you about him, and no one else can do that, it is a fundamental thing language does, it allows us to transfer reputation information.So I can give you one experiment which shows the value of reputation, or it shows how sensitive we are to being watched. This is done in a psychology lab: in the academic department in the university there's a coffee machine with an honesty box – you get a cup of coffee and you drop a quarter in the box, we've all seen these machines. What the researcher found is when he put a photograph of a pair of eyes next to the box – it drastically increased the percentage of people who paid for their coffee. So I mean, even being primed that you might be watched makes people more honest. That's a really interesting result.
These two societal pressures, morals and reputation, are very old. They are as old as human society. A gossip, the traditional definition of gossip, information about other people, is how we transfer reputation information. And this is, basically, our primitive societal security toolkit. And it works for small societies, works for informal societies, it's how you and your friends manage trust, it's how you and your family manages trust, it's basically how trust is managed in informal groups, or even within companies, within departments. But it doesn't scale very well, so we invented two more types of societal pressure, we invented laws, and then we use technologies.
3 So laws I call 'institutional pressures' because it's not just legal entities, it's any formal institution. Any formal institution establishes some sort of formal rules. I mean, think about what these rules are, they are societal norms that are codified, like 'stealing is illegal' – we went from 'stealing is wrong', which is morals, to 'if you steal, other people will treat you badly', to 'stealing is illegal and there's a formal punishment process'. We as society delegate some subset of us to enforce the laws, to enforce those social norms. And that's really where laws came from, they impose formal sanctions.
4 And the 4th mechanism is our security systems. And a security system is basically a mechanism that induces cooperation, prevents defection, induces trust, compels compliance; so you are going to get a door lock, or a tall fence, burglar alarm, guards, forensic and auditing systems, mitigation recovery systems – so a lot here, some of them work before the fact, some after the fact, some during, and they all work together.
Go back to stealing. Most of us don't steal because we know it's wrong; the rest of us don't steal because of what other people will think; the rest of us don't steal because it's illegal and we'll get trouble, we'll get arrested; and for the few people that none of those 3 things have deterred, we lock our doors. We can't do just one, you have to do all of them, to different degrees, depending on the issue. But what I want you all to go away with is that, as technologist, I think our security toolbox has been woefully inadequate, that we focus quite a lot on the technological systems and very little on the other systems. And it's important that they all work together.
So think of this as an individual, I mean, there's a person who is going to make some cooperative defect decision: "Should I steal or should I not?" He's going to weigh the costs and benefits. These societal pressures are ways for society to put its finger on the scales, for us to change the equation that the person is going to make, it changes the evaluation.
And of course, this depends on context, because a lot of these things are subjective, people will value things in different ways, and that's why we have defectors even though we have all of these things. We as society use these pressures to find some optimal balance between cooperating and defecting, because more security isn't always better. If we have too much societal pressure, it gets too expensive. If we have too little societal pressure, it's too damaging. There are some sweet spots, there's some murder rate in New Zealand, and it's not zero. It's very small, it's small enough that, you know, pretty much all of us don't worry about it. But getting it to zero is too expensive. And society has a natural barometer here. If the murder rate gets too high, people start saying: "We need to spend more money on police." If the murder rate gets too low, people start saying: "Why are we spending lots of money on police? We have other problems we need to solve."
And depending what the system is, we have a natural level. And that's also cultural, that's changed over the centuries, over the millennia. That's really our tolerance for risk: how much crime in society is enough, how much tax evasion is okay. We'd like it to be zero, but we'll never get there, because that's too expensive.
And what societal pressures do is allow society to scale, and scales are a really important concept here. A lot of those primitive systems were good enough for small communities, good enough for primitive societies, good enough for informal ad hoc communities today. But larger communities require more societal pressures, more formalism.
Today we have global systems that need some sort of global laws, or global rules, and global security technologies, and, in some cases, global moralism.
So I think this way of looking at society has some pretty broad explanatory powers, that there's value in looking at societal issues through this lens. In the book I talk about terrorism, the 2008 global financial crisis, organized crime, Internet crime – sort of a lot of different issues. And you quickly realize that it all gets very complicated very quickly. And the various pressures are interrelated, you can't make a simple formula of what the right thing to do is, that it's very situational both who society is, and what the defectors and cooperators are.

CHARLES TOWN, W.VA. - Jefferson County officials on Thursday were briefed on a proposal to expand Harpers Ferry (W.Va.) National Historical Park by about 800 acres, which would include the Old Standard quarry, where a controversial $250 million office project was proposed.
The head of an organization that works to enhance scenic areas around the park asked the Jefferson County Commission to support a resolution urging Congress to expand the park, but the commission did not take any action.
Paul Rosa, executive director of the Harpers Ferry Conservancy, said the expansion would preserve properties under threat of development that can be viewed from the park.
One of the concerns about the $250 million office project at Old Standard quarry is that it could be seen from surrounding park property.

In the video interview above, filmmaker Raja Amari talks about the making of Buried Secrets, her second feature film set in Tunisia, which premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in 2009. Amari's first feature Satin Rouge had a limited-run release in theaters in New York City. Amari also reflects on her approach to filmmaking, dispelling stereotypes about women in cinema in the Arab world. In Buried Secrets, Amari used tropes of the horror genre, imbuing the film with a symbolic political charge. When viewed in the aftermath of the revolution in Tunisia, the film's evocative power is furthermore amplified.
Buried Secrets will be screened on Friday, November 23, in MoMA's Theater 2 at 4:00 p.m. as part of the film exhibition Mapping Subjectivity: Experimentation in Arab Cinema from the 1960s to Now, Part III , the third and final installment of MoMA's exploration of Arab cinema, which runs through November 25.</div>

Most people who aren't already in league with Beck will instantly recognize this as a shameless attempt to co-opt Americans of color and their extraordinary activism over the past few years. Glenn Beck's agenda obviously does not have significant support among them; it largely opposes their interests, in this case quite directly. And Beck's Restoring Unity rally bears all of the familiar signs of an astroturf operation: aggressive promotion, a savvy media strategy, carefully stage-managed optics, centralized control, and so on.
Most people on the left get this; and one would hope that their skepticism would translate into a broader concern about attempts by the powerful to co-opt the activism of POC. That's why it's so puzzling that so many have so conclusively ruled out the very possibility of liberal interests trying the same thing; there is, in fact, every reason to believe that it's already happening.
To start with an obvious point, political operatives and the media have both actively (and quite successfully) imposed upon the entire movement a single brand: Black Lives Matter (BLM). As a way of representing the multiplicity of protesters with a single collective designation, this necessarily erases the autonomy and diversity of POC who have participated. Consider for example this tweet by Jamil Smith:
Obviously, @DougHenwood. But #BlackLivesMatter argues income redistribution alone isn't going to solve police brutality. And I agree.— Jamil Smith (@JamilSmith) August 28, 2015Set aside whether or not Smith's critique of left politics happens to be correct. Is it not enough to point out that there are clearly people involved in the movement who disagree with him? And that most will never even have the opportunity to challenge him on this, or on anything - certainly not on equal terms? What is "Black Lives Matter," in Smith's mouth, but a way for a powerful man who controls massive media platforms to substitute his opinions for some of the most powerless and silenced people in America?
Liberals will be tempted to consider this situation through the lens of what Matt Bruenig calls Identitarian Deference (ID), and conclude that we should defer to Smith on this since he is himself a POC. This is pretty dicey even if we take his claim at face value, since deferring to Smith here necessarily means rejecting the perspective of another POC (the one he is at odds with) - a move ID categorically forbids.
That kind of internal contradiction's a significant problem for ID, but I see another that's even more compelling: to the extent that we recognize that POC are oppressed, silenced and excluded from the controlling mechanisms of public discourse, we have to recognize that they are therefore necessarily vulnerable to co-option. The people who speak for them most visibly and who do the most to define their public identity will always be people whose lives are significantly different from theirs: they will be media figures, politicians, and members of the activist elite, all groups still dominated by the interests of racism and white supremacy.
In particular, it's worth bearing in mind that the POC most victimized by police violence are the poor. From this it follows trivially that a truly representative movement would be overwhelmingly spoken for and constituted by the poor - even if middle-class and wealthy POC also participate. These are largely people who are not involved in college activism, since they are not in college; who do not have large media platforms or significant media connections; who do not have the financial support necessary for full-time activism; and who have relatively little training and experience with organizing high-profile political and media campaigns. They are far more likely to be the people we see in news footage marching in the streets or getting arrested by riot police; they are relatively unlikely to be talking heads on cable news or Twitter celebrities with blue checks by their names.
Bearing this in mind, activism by Americans of color in recent years takes on a somewhat different character than its representation in the media. First, it appears to be almost exclusively concerned with the specific problems of racist police brutality and prosecution. Groups identified with BLM have certainly addressed a whole range of worthy issues, from LGBT rights to disproportionate incarceration rates; but by far, the largest, most powerful actions with the greatest claim to participation and representation are the ones that have followed the murder of POC by police and subsequent refusals to prosecute. These are the incidents that have compelled huge numbers of POC to take to the streets, and these are the protests that they've been willing to push to the point of crisis, often taking absolutely heroic risks and sacrificing their own safety and freedom in the process.
Second, the largest protests have typically been relatively autonomous and spontaneous. In Ferguson, for example, it's clear that the riots emerged organically from an initial candlelight vigil; that they snowballed from there as local residents and a wide range of local organizations got involved; and that the national, "original" BLM organization only got involved after the fact. Notably, many of the initial protests were so distinctly independent that multiple (largely white) media figures were scandalized to discover that radical leftists across the country had joined in solidarity. It's telling that many of these same critics abandoned their suspicion of co-option when different outsiders got involved, and now rarely challenge the elites who claim to speak for BLM on a regular basis.
And third, while the actual movement has enjoyed significant participation among POC - and while its actual actions are significantly aligned with the concerns of most POC - we cannot forget that an extraordinary number of POC remain completely alienated and disengaged from the movement. There are all kinds of reasons for this, ranging from the incidental (some people don't live near any of the flashpoints) to the intrinsic (some are afraid to participate, some can't afford to, some are incarcerated, and some have simply despaired). There are still ways that we can deduce their interests - through polls, for example, or through various modes of socioeconomic and political analysis - but we must in any case acknowledge that many of the people we should care about the most are precisely the people who remain voiceless.
When we consider these three points, I think there's reason to regard #BLM - not the movement, but the brand - with some minimal degree of vigilance and skepticism. To my mind, one of the most important refrains to emerge from all of this is the expectation that white people should listen to what POC are actually saying; this is a worthy point whether one buys into the politics of ID or not. But listening to POC doesn't mean just listening to people who claim to speak on their behalf. It means listening to the people themselves - all of them.

Despite a 1979 county commitment to the federal government to designate the new growth area of Owings Mills for low-income housing, Baltimore County officials now say that lower-cost housing cannot be built there because the land is too expensive.
Instead, the administration of County Executive Roger B. Hayden has pushed the developers of Owings Mills' largest new housing project to produce a written plan for so-called "affordable" housing for middle-income buyers with incomes as high as $43,500 for a couple.
The developers' plan requested by the county for the recently begun Owings Mills New Town project is due for county Planning Board discussion on Thursday. Frank W. Welsh, director of the county's Department of Community Development, said the county government negotiated the New Town plan before the countywide strategy, because the New Town project was already under way. When completed, Owings Mills New Town is to have 5,500 dwellings.

I think the development/release methodology adopted by the KDE team for the KDE 4 series would have worked a lot better if they had been able to accurately predict how the distros would respond to it.
It doesn't matter how unfinished KDE 4.0 was, if no large Linux distros had incorporated it fully into their distro and just used it for testing as the KDE team recommended then it wouldn't have been "inflicted" upon some end users in the way that it was. See Linus Torvalds for example, (IIRC) he uses Fedora, and he got an early KDE 4 pushed upon him, and seeing it as too incomplete for his needs, he decided to switch to Gnome. Now the Fedora guys IMO should have held onto KDE 3 for their main users, and offered KDE 4 as an optional testing/preview update. Then there would have been fewer issues.
However, now we see that the distros do not work like this; one cannot just say "this isn't really ready for the wider masses" and necessarily expect the downstream folks to obey those wishes. Maybe if the KDE team had been a little more canny they could have predicted this and delayed the release of 4.0 a bit, still releasing it somewhat early to get the ball rolling but in more a complete state than it was.
Let me just end this by saying that I'm a big fan of KDE and a user for 6 years or so, and that actually I thought 4.0 was fine for my uses and I understand what the KDE team were trying to do with that. Really the distros should have given it a more thoughtful evaluation and not just deployed it indiscriminately as some of them did. But they didn't and maybe the KDE team were not as realistic as they could have been in failing to predict this.
P.S. Arch Linux, my distro of choice held off the upgrade till 4.1 I think it was. So my distro is better than yours. So there!

Several aspects of evolution are suggestive of chaos (in the
mathematical sense) rather than randomness (self-similarity at various
scales, relatively simple rules giving complex results, and sensitivity to
initial conditions). The limit on predicting a chaotic system is the
precision to which the initial conditions are known, which should not be a
problem for an omniscient God.
I think the issue of free will is quite closely tied in to this
question, although it is unlikely that we are predestined to settle that
issue here. I'm sufficiently Calvinistic to not be bothered by the idea
that God completely determined the evolutionary process and controlled its
action. If He determines the outcome of casting lots, is controlling a
mutation much harder? For that matter, if He had wanted to create
intelligent creatures with free will, couldn't He have controlled their
evolution and then given them free will as a part of making them in His own
image? (Not that I think much of free will, but rather that I don't think
it is incompatible with God's controlling evolution).

CNN host Don Lemon is calling out Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for "lying" to cover up his initial reaction to the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Libya, that President Barack Obama had "sympathized" with the attackers.
"A rush to judgment, and then lying to cover it up," Lemon said at the top of his "No Talking Points" segment on Sunday, noting that Romney's campaign had drafted a statement accusing the president of sympathizing with U.S. enemies before most of the facts about the embassy attacks and the death of Ambassador Chris Stevens were known.
"[Secretary of State Hillary] Clinton's statement in no way apologizes nor sympathizes with the attackers," Lemon pointed out. "Anyone who tells you it did is lying. If you believe it did, you are misguided. Even a statement that was released earlier from the embassy in Cairo never sympathize nor apologize, yet in a following hours and days, instead of correcting course, the Romney campaign doubled down."
"In an effort to politicize the attacks and deaths of an American diplomat and three other heroes, Mr. Romney not only dealt a major blow to his campaign but had given his opponent a gift, the ability to politicize and even without trying by appearing to take the high road," the CNN host explained.
In fact, Obama had told CBS News on Wednesday that Romney "seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later."
"And as president, one of the things I've learned is you can't do that," Obama said. "That, you know, it's important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you've thought through the ramifications before you make 'em."
Lemon observed that "there was nothing the Romney campaign could do to counter" the president's argument.
"Yet in an odd contrast, before the ceremony [for Ambassador Stevens] had even ended, Mitt Romney took to the stage in Ohio to bash the very people who were paying tribute to the fallen," Lemon recalled. "And from my perch here at the anchor desk and to many of you watching at home, you wrote me and told me it felt weird, uncomfortable and sad."
"How can a man in a campaign that throws around the word 'patriot' so often get this one so wrong."

Hi....have booked on this and as first time on my own would love to contact others who have booked this trip. Any one out there?
Am also going, and will arrive in Hanoi 11th October.
I'm also booked on this after hearing others on the India trip last year singing the praises of the Vietnam trip. I think we don't arrive till the 12th Oct, although we start on the 11th, so probably meet you at the departure gate, queuing to get on the plane which happened last time, or maybe on the plane, if they've given us seats together.
Looking forward to it, although I'm always a bit nervous beforehand about travelling on my own. But past experience says it will be fine when we've all met up.
Good to hear from others going.......Since you've been on one of these trips before Viv, do you recommend a ruck sack or case. There are pro's and con's to both so keep changing my mind! And any other tips gratefully received.
I am also on this trip and have been with Exodus previously - happy to allay fears of travelling alone or provide other advice, meet up at the airport before hand etc.
It would be good if a few of us could meet up at the airport...... once through passport control etc. Nearer the time perhaps we should exchange mobile numbers so can text once arrived?
Any thoughts on if a case will be ok? Got my visa last week so just have to arrange malaria tablets now......4 weeks!
Happy to met up beforehand. You might want to take something that is easy to carry a suitcase will be fine but you want to take something that is easy to carry like a soft case of some description.
Reading the various websites etc it would appear that you don't need malaria tablets as will be stick to the tourist routes.
I took an expandable suitcase on wheels last time for India which was similar amount of travel. I guess we have to think about the fact we will be on an overnight train, on a boat. If we have a large suitcase there won't be much room for us!
I usually travel fairly light, a day rucksack and a wheelie suitcase, but then I do manage to pack a lot into a small case!
Looking forward to meeting you all soon! Not long now. :)
Thanks for the bits of advice. Counting the days......it has been a long summer with everyone else going away but finally nearly my turn.
As I'm flying from Norway I will arrive in Hanoi 11th October (a day before the group). I guess I'll meet you all at the hotel on the 12th. When does the group flight get in? :)
I've literally just booked onto this trip - got the confirmation email last night! So paid a small fortune for jabs at the Trailfinders Clinic today, and rushing around now to get my visa organised in time! I can't fly with the group as the flight is full. Instead, I fly from Heathrow same day at 1230 with Thai Airways and land in Hanoi at 0935 on the Saturday 12th Oct. Is that close to the group arrival time? Be nice to know if it was and I was meeting everyone in the arrivals hall, as at the moment I haven't a clue what happens once I land! Anyway, looking forward to this trip massively. It's going to be awesome! See there's another Jenny on the trip!! I'll be Jen to save confusion!!
Hi Jenny
Yes the group flight arrives Saturday morning as well so sure you won't be far behind or ahead even!. I think Exodus arrange a pick up for all flights so there should be someone waving an Exodus card when you get through arrivals.
I'm actually on another Vietnam trip at the end of October but waswondering what currency people are taking. Exodus recommends Dollars but I've read somewhere that English Pound is just as good.
Any suggestions?
I'm on the trip 11 Oct trip too and so excited.......seems ages ago that I booked it. I was going to take mainly Dong with a few dollars. Still not decided on a suitcase or backpack though.....
I decided against malaria stuff, pretty sure is low risk & only near Mekong delta. I've got my deet spray and long trousers for the evenings!
6 more work days to go!!!
Hi Paul! Nice to 'meet ' you and look forward to seeing everyone in Hanoi airport!
Re the malaria query, I'm taking precautions with deet too as we are only in a risk area for one night when in the Mekong Delta.
Re baggage, I've only ever taken a rucksack on exodus trips as wheelie bags and boats and jungle huts don't really go well together and a rucksack is easy to carry for those times we have to transport stuff from place to place.
Hi Jen
Ditto. Look forward to meeting you too.
Have a safe flight from Heathrow!
Paul - do you know how many of us are in this trip?
Hi all
Re.luggage.....I have decided on suitcase as to be honest doesn't take up any more room than rucksack and prefer wheeling to carrying! I am taking dollars simply because I already had them from another trip.
Any ideas on place to meet at Gatwick North.....I can never remember which is north and south terminal.
Jenny C
I'm flying from Heathrow with Thai Air as I booked so late in the day so can't help you there.
I understand It's a full trip so I think something like 16 people I guess
Hi Jenny C
I'm sure we'll catch up at some point in departures somewhere - maybe just hold up a Vietnam Exodus sign?!
Just read all the posts. So good to 'chat' beforehand. I've also got mostly dong, with dollars for the tip kitty, and the tip for the rep at the end, with some for backup. Always got the visa card for emergency. Got the deet, and the travel pills! Yes, full trip means 16. Full flight not so keen on :<. Sure it will be fine though. Getting excited and looking forward to meeting you all. Viv
I called exodus ops today who advised a soft case suitcase is as good as a rucksack so I'm now thinking (for first time ever on an exodus trip!)of taking a suitcase! Doesn't quite fit with the 'adventure' sentimentality but hey! means its got wheels! JennyN

How to use font variants in Pages
Author: Martin Wahlberg | Posted in Apple iWork OS X No comments
So you have a fancy Open Type font that includes font variants i.e different version of letters. How do you use them in Pages?
- Open the Typograph panel.
- Select the piece of text or letter that you want to use an alternate glyph for and chose a different stylistic set from within the "Alternate Stylistic Sets menu"
- Notice that you can use this procedure for individual letters and create your own unique combinations.

In iOS 5 introduced in WWDC2011, there are two new things that can help Augmented Reality App. development.
1. A Direct Path for Video Data to OpenGL
There is a video background in most augmented reality applications in general. One of method to render the video background is using OpenGL texture, using glTexSubImage2D, and it has been used in many AR App. However, calling glTexSubImage2D causes delay and the overall OpenGL performance decreases.
Apple's new CVOpenGLESTextureCache let developers directly copy video data from memory to texture and it clearly improves the performance as shown in the demo (See the WWDC video of the session 414, Advances in OpenGL ES for iOS 5).
2. GLKit
OpenGL ES programming on iOS has been handy because managing thing required for OpenGL rendering, such as timers, display links, drawing functions.. etc., were not that much convenient. In addition, EAGLView was not really integrated to CocoaTouch.
The GLKit in iOS 5 helps developers manage those things and also provides other functionalities: math functions for simple linear algebra, OpenGL texture management, and special effect with shaders. Though GLKit, developers can make their Apps more shiny and more efficiently run.

1994 Geo Prizm 1994 US Electricar Geo Prizm electric car
Up for auction is my 1994 US Electricar Geo Prizm. These cars had an interesting story: The were factory built by GM in the early 90's before the EV1, and were equipped with both a GM/Hughes drivetrain and the fabled Magnecharger charging system. Unlike the EV1, a limited number were sold to power companies (this one came from Georgia Power) and thus were not crushed. The electric system of the car is fully workable, and the controller is good (I used to fix these and still keep a working 94 S10 electric truck here). The car has electric AC, power steering, power brakes, and heat from a 2kw heating system. It's an AC induction motor, 50kw controller running at a factory pack voltage of 300v which can easily handle up to 400 volts at 200 amps (80kw). It can charge using either the charger built into the controller (1.0kw at 120v, 2.2kw at 208/240v) or can charge at 6.6kw using a Magnecharger paddle. Yes, it can charge from a J1772 power station if you buy an adapter, I have one for my truck ...

August 21, 2015—The Women's International Shipping & Trading Association – UK (WISTA-UK), in conjunction with UKTI, will again be hosting a series of free events, seminars, and workshops during the first day of London International Shipping Week (LISW), September 7. LISW will run from September 7-11. Topics will cover women in command, maritime incidents, and the River Thames.
"It is great to be working with such a well-established trading association that has been creating opportunities for women in the last 38 years," says Parveen Thornhill, Regional Director for London, UKTI. "This day will create key networking opportunities for those in the shipping industry."
WISTA is a major player in attracting women to the marine industry and in supporting women in management positions. Founded in 1974, WISTA-UK is the oldest of the WISTA National associations. The UK maintains a strong position in the shipping industry, with 1.5% of the world fleet's capacity owned by UK-based companies and 3.2% managed by UK-based companies, making it a good location for networking opportunities.
"LISW is one of the most prestigious and eagerly anticipated shipping events in the maritime world and WISTA-UK is delighted to once again be a part of the celebration of UK shipping, says Sue Terpilowski OBE, President, WISTA-UK. "London has always been one of the centres of the maritime world and the return of LISW will once again give us the opportunity to show not only how important women are in shipping, but also why the UK remains at the forefront of maritime technology."
Appropriately, the first seminar will discuss the challenges women face in marine-based leadership positions. As only approximately 4% of seagoing staff is female, the primary focus will be how to recruit and retain seafarers to maintain qualified crews.
The second session, titled "The Perfect Dilemma – an Interactive Workshop," will discuss the complexities of maritime casualties—specifically the risks and how to avoid them, how to react when incidents occur, and how to follow regulations. There will be an additional presentation on crisis media relations.
The third session will cover the role of the River Thames in shaping English history, the changing use of Thames-side facilities, and the current state of the River Thames.
WISTA-UK's schedule of events will culminate in a final networking evening event with a silent auction for WISTA-UK charities Seavision and OSCAR.
If you are interested in signing up for any of the WISTA-UK sessions during LISW, you can book online at http://wistauklisw2015.eventbrite.co.uk. For further information, contact Sue Terpilowski OBE at [email protected].

Patients with a swallowing complaint or disorder can no longer drink normal liquids since their swallowing reflex is only triggered with a delay, if it functions at all, and liquid can enter the trachea as a consequence. If the patient is unable to solve this through the natural urge to cough, serious complications can occur. This so-called "silent aspiration" is induced by a reduced sense of feeling in the throat.
A thickening of liquids is therefore very important for such patients since it influences and slows down the flowability of the food or beverage. This gives the patient the possibility to sense the liquid in his mouth himself and trigger the swallowing reflex. Patients with a swallowing disorder should be watched when they are eating or drinking so that no signs of aspiration are overlooked or detected too late. These include, amongst others, increased mucous congestion in the throat, nose and ear tract without the patient having a cold, coughing and clearing of the throat before, during or after a meal, breathlessness, or repeated bronchial infections.

Washington: The Obama Administration has not notified to the Congress about the proposed sale of eight F-16 fighter jets to Pakistan, a senior official has said, even as it is unclear if the legislative body will agree to the deal amid concerns among lawmakers whether the advanced aircraft would be used against India than for counter terrorism.
"I can conform to say that we have not notified Congress of any new sale," a senior administration official told a group of Indian reporters during a conference call yesterday.
The official was responding to questions on a media report that the State Department has notified to the Congress on sale of eight F-16 fighter planes to Pakistan.
According to a report in the New York Times, the Congress was notified about the proposed sale of F-16s just days ahead of the Oval Office meeting between US President Barack Obama and Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
At the same time, the daily said that many in the Congress fear that F-16 jets are more useful to Pakistan in its long confrontation with India than for counterterrorism.
"US has sold F-16s to Pakistan in the past. We understand that Pakistan uses these very actively in its military operation against militants and terrorist groups operating in western Pakistan. This is something that Pakistan Government briefs us on and we are very pleased that these aircraft that were supplied by the US government can be so effective in countering militants," the official said on condition of anonymity.
Noting that the US has long standing security co-operation with Pakistan, the official said it is in each of the countries interest.
"We do think, it is in regions interest as well. Pakistan has taken very determined actions in the last several years against militants operating on its territory. These are militants and terrorists that not only threaten Pakistan, but they threaten other countries in the region and they threaten our interest as well," the official added.
