How mathematical theories show us that we can never have a complete theory of physics — or even the human mind, it seems. In this podcast we'll descend to the most fundamental level of rational enquiry and delve into mathematics to ask whether it really makes sense to think that we can capture ultimate truth in mathematical equations.
In this episode:
The strange story of Whitehead, Russel and Gödel – Principia Mathematica – Kurt Gödel – formal systems – the incompleteness theorems – why we can't create a grand unified theory of arithmetic, never mind the universe – theories of physics are like nets laid over a mountain range – Roger Penrose and Shadows of the Mind – Plato's allegory of the cave – the weather and the brain are chaotic systems – chaos theory and Penrose's crooked chain of pool balls – brains are unpredictable – consciousness is not in the gaps of physical theories – microtubules – do Gödel's theorems prove anything about the brain? – Gödel's paranoid food poisoning obsession – the curious relationship between logic and paranoia
Featured music: Length and Brecht (Remixed) – Halogen

The rout in commodities has claimed a British victim in the form of Caparo, a UK steel firm.
Caparo is set to go into administration, according to reports from Press Association, with the loss of around 1,800 jobs.
Nick Dakin, Labour MP in Scunthorpe, blamed intense competition from China, in an interview with BBC News.
The loss of industrial competitiveness is fast becoming a political issue.
Jeremy Corbyn, the Labour leader, questioned Prime Minister David Cameron over whether he would raise the issue of cheap Chinese steel "flooding the market" with the Chinese president during his visit to the UK this week.
The fall of Caparo comes a week after the closure of the 98-year-old Redcar steelworks in the North East at the expense of 2,200 jobs.
Falling industrial demand in emerging markets, especially China, has sent commodities prices fall through the floor and made it harder for firms like Caparo to turn a profit.
Here's how Bloomberg's Commodities Index has performed this year:
Combine falling demand with Chinese competition and a strong pound, which makes steel exports relatively more expensive, and you have a recipe for disaster for UK steel firms.

Video Transcript: Using the Easy Sign Up plugin for WordPress
Hi I'm Andrew the developer of the free Easy Sign Up plugin for WordPress.
This video is intended to give a quick overview of the plugin's uses and features.
The main function of the Easy Sign Up plugin is to creates a simple form that asks a user to fill in their name and email address.
The plugin then redirects that user to a web address chosen by you.
This could be a thank you page, a download page or an affiliate page.
Your user will receive a thank you email sent from your website, and you'll receive a notification email containing the users contact information.
The Easy Sign Up plugin does not store that information in a database, so don't delete those emails. I suggest creating a folder or filter in your email account to keep track of them for you.
If you'd like to store those emails in a database we do have an Easy Extra plugin that works together with the Easy Sign Up plugin, creating a database entry for each sign up.
Those entries are displayed in a report within your WordPress admin.
They can be downloaded as a spreadsheet compatible with the major NewsLetter systems like Constant Contact and MailChimp. Easy Data Extra can be purchased at beforesite.com.
Installation and Activation
Once you have installed the Easy Sign Up plugin and activated it, you'll notice an upgrade message at the top of the screen.
If you have an Easy Extra installed please use the link in the right hand corner of the message to view an article on how to update your Easy Sign Up Extra.
For those of you that don't know what an Easy Extra is, they are plugins that expand the features of the free Easy Sign Up plugin.
If you don't have any Easy Sign Up Extras installed feel free to ignore the message and it will disappear in sixty seconds.
Options Page
If you're updating the plugin all of your settings will be as you left them.
If this is your first installation you'll notice that the settings already populated with data that the Easy Sign Up plugin has pulled out of your WordPress website's settings.
Let's cover what the different settings do.
At the top of the settings page you'll notice two email addresses the first email address is where the Administration notification email be sent. This is email that is sent to you.
Second email is the email address that your user will see in the reply to the area of the email sent to them from your website after they fill out the Easy Sign Up form.
Please make sure that both of these emails are valid and that they work or you'll never known who used to Easy Sign Up form.
The third options field is the URL of the webpage you'd like the user to be redirected to once they complete your Easy Sign Up form.
Just to recap this address can be any location on the Internet we could even be direct link to a file.
The next field is a huge update from Easy Sign Up version 2. This is the auto-responder email that your client receives after filling out your Easy Sign Up form.
In version two of the Easy Sign Up plugin it was a text field now it is a HTML WYSIWYG editor. This is because we are now sending out the auto-responders as HTML emails.
This gives you the ability to brand your emails with links and images.
You use the auto-responder editor the same way as you would use the post and pages editor.
When you create your responding email you can add a personal touch include the full name of the person who filled out the Easy Sign Up form. This is done by adding in the
#fullname# into the email. See the default example or if you don't have that anymore look under the email editor for an example and definition.
Below the email editor are two final options for the Easy Sign Up plugin both of these options are new to this update.
The first option will integrate the Easy Sign Up plugin with the Akismet. This will effectively stop spam in its tracks. Just ensure that you have the Akismet plugin installed and activated.
The final setting will allow you to remove all of the Easy Sign Up plugin settings from your WordPress website if you ever need to uninstall it.
Embedding the Easy Sign Up Form
Embedding the Easy Sign Up Plugin's form is as easy as pointing and clicking.
You have a choice between adding the form as a shortcode or using the Easy Sign Up form widget.
To use the shortcode navigate to or create the page you'd where you'd like the Easy Sign Up form to be.
Once you're there click on the orange button in the visual editor toolbar and the shortcode along with optional attributes will be added to your page.
Let's briefly look at what the different attributes do:
title, The value for the title attribute is displayed above the Easy Sign Up form.
phone, Setting phone equal to 1 will add a phone field to your Easy Sign Up form.
fnln, Setting this attribute equal to 1 will separate the name field into first name and last name fields
esu_label, This field excepts a string of text, it is not displayed to the user. It is only displayed to you in your notification email or in the easy data extra table. A great use for this would be A/B testing, using the Easy Sign Up form in different locations and tracking where you get the most conversions. Another use could be if you use the form for different uses at different times, giving you a method of sorting the email addresses you have collected form the different forms.
esu_class, This attribute allows you to add a CSS class to the DIV tag that encapsulates the Easy Sign Up form. Using CSS you can change the forms layout and look.
If you would like more control over the layout and labels of the Easy Sign Up form have a look at Easy Styles plugin at beforesite.com.
Adding the form as a widget
Navigate to the widget admin screen locate the Easy Sign Up widget then drag and drop it into the sidebar of your choice. Then just check and fill out the options provided by the widget and you're done.
Visit the beforesite.com for Easy Extras, tips , tricks and the support forums.

On federalism and European integration
Artur. When it comes to European politics, are you a federalist?1
Beata. In principle, I am in favour of a European Union that operates as a fully fledged republic. I guess that qualifies me as a federalist, though I do not necessarily insist on the EU having to follow in the footsteps of other nations, such as the USA or Switzerland.
A. Those paradigms you are alluding to support the theory espoused by many of the "United States of Europe". I think the US model has more currency than the Swiss one. But you say you do not want that, yet you still believe the EU should operate as a proper republic. My question then should be whether you think the EU already follows federalist constitutional norms. Does it?
B. The typical self-defined federalist would argue that the EU is not a federation. And I agree. There are too many elements that are inter-governmental. These reflect competing national agendas. The policies they make are not meant to directly promote some European good. They are a compromise between governments, based on criteria such as expedience and the promotion of the national interest. The way the Greek crisis has been handled is a case in point. A federation would initiate procedures to restructure Greek debt and have Greece default within the euro area. Instead, a series of technical measures have been turned into a set of hotly contested political totems. Everyone who thinks objectively agrees that debt relief is a necessity. Inter-governmental politics has hitherto prevented that from happening in an orderly and timely fashion.
A. What you are describing is fair enough, but I do not see this overall inefficiency as proof that the EU does not already function in accordance with federalist constitutional norms. The mistake is to conflate matters of principle with quotidian politics. You object to the EU's inter-governmentalist practices on grounds of practicality. Look at the US, the darling of many a federalist. One can hardly forget the seemingly endless negotiations for such 'technical' items as raising the debt ceiling. Major disagreements exist in every kind of polity. These lead to deadlocks or, anyhow, tend to prolong and complicate a process that would seem rather simple and straightforward. What the euro crisis really teaches us is that without sufficient institutional arrangements and predefined mechanisms, a major crisis is enough to fuel controversy, distrust, and to ultimately make any solution much more difficult than what it would have been.
B. So your suggestion is that we treat inefficiencies as technical rather than normative constraints?
A. Indeed! Constitutional norms are one thing, the political process is another.
B. So which are the constitutional norms that, in your mind, qualify as federalist?
A. Everything pertaining to the distribution of competences within the EU is a good start. We have the connatural principles of conferral, subsidiarity, and proportionality. Conferral means that certain powers are explicitly given to the European level, while others are shared between the Union and the Member States. Whatever is not conferred upward remains with the nation state. The Union can only have an ancillary or marginal role on such policies. What makes the principle of conferral something better than the misunderstood "power transfers to Brussels" is that it has to be consistent with subsidiarity. The EU should not be granted powers that are not of a Union-wide reach, for that would violate the principle which stipulates that decisions should be taken at the closest level of government pertinent to the task at hand. Finally, proportionality ensures that any power is limited in scope and any action thereof must not create conditions that would change that constitutional order. To my mind, these establish a vertical separation of powers within a multi-level polity. That is a federalist tenet.
B. Yes, but that is not the whole story. The EU does not have an elected executive. In fact, it does not have a single executive, but two institutions that perform complementary functions. The European Commission is typically likened to a government. In practice it does what any national executive would do. However, the Commission's impetus to action is exogenous. It does not decide on the direction of the integration process. That task is trusted with the European Council, the platform where the heads of state or government meet. The European Council is, in fact, the Union's deciding executive. It adopts 'guidelines' that the Commission must follow. To that end, the Commission is the implementing executive. Such bifurcation is not standard for federations. A federal Europe would have an elected government, which could be led by a prime minister or a president depending on what would work best for us.
A. This is one of the many peculiarities of the EU. And there are other examples that add force to your argument, such as the practice of differentiated integration, what is commonly known as "multi-speed Europe". The EU is not a unified whole, but a mosaic or patchwork of multiple combinations of Union, with states advancing at a different pace or towards diverging ends. The common thread is the European Treaties. Every instance of differentiated integration must be consistent with them, such as the fiscal compact or the treaty that established the European Stability Mechanism.
B. Which is why we often speak of the EU as being sui generis. It is in a league of its own.
A. Well, yes. Though I do not find that line of reasoning particularly interesting and fecund. Federations are quite diverse. Switzerland is a federation, so is Belgium, Germany, and even Russia. It would be pointless to argue that these systems are more or less the same solely by virtue of qualifying as federations. Every polity has its unique features. And that is to be expected given that in each case decisions are adopted within a different context, against the backdrop of unique historical-cultural path dependencies. What I am interested in is to identify the things federations have in common or, more specifically, what democracy within a federal system looks like.
B. So how would you conceive of the various aberrations of EU politics. Inter-governemntalism or the bifurcation of the executive mentioned earlier? Are these consistent with federalism?
A. The way to approach those issues is by looking at the history of the integration process. We have an early attempt in the 1950s at the creation of a single market. In the 1990s this culminates in the refashioning of the European Economic Community into the European Union. A single currency is introduced, supranational competences are expanded, the European Parliament gains a more central role. Looking ahead, we contemplate several elements of a fiscal, financial, security, and even political union. We also are at the beginning of a process that will deliver us a European army or, at the very least, an ever closer form of coordination on matters of security and defence. Fiscal policy or the military are cardinal expressions of statehood. But we are not there yet. Just as the euro initially lacked certain institutions that would render it robust to shocks, so the various areas of European policy are still under development.
B. Following that train of thought, you would treat the aberrations as intermediate steps towards a potential normality?
A. For the most part, yes. I think that as the integration process deepens, we reach a point where practices of the past are no longer tenable. Ten to fifteen years ago the idea of a fiscal union was near blasphemy. Today it is the most sensible course of action. Do not underestimate the shift in thinking brought about by material changes. Oftentimes people must see things in their immediacy in order to appreciate the importance and propriety of certain actions.
B. Fair enough. Would an elected government for the EU be consistent with the step-by-step process you outlined?
A. An elected government as a replacement for the College of Commissioners would be the logical extension of the spitzenkandidaten process. Ideally we would have transnational lists for Members of the European Parliament, from where the new government could come from. What I do not think is absolutely necessary, is the abolition of the European Council. I have come to believe that a deciding executive, one that can think long term and reach a consensus among European nations, is ultimately useful. Perhaps though, a deciding executive should have a more specialised role, such as on matters of primary law—amending the Treaties—or for instance where differentiated integration is indeed a necessity. The specifics may vary and I need not digress at length.
B. What you have put forward seems to explain why certain self-styled federalists are fervently pro-EU. There are, however, those who think that the EU is a step away from federalism. It is a confederation, whose midpoint is the nation state and the national interest.
A. The problem with concepts such as "federation" or "confederation" is that they are not defined in precise terms. There are no clear delineations between the two. The same is true for the notion of the unitary state. Greece is such a state and so is Spain or the United Kingdom. While they all are formally the same, there are profound differences. Greece does not devolve power to regional governments. In the UK the system is close to a federation. Spain's case is similar. At the other extreme, we have Russia, a federation that tends to be governed as an ever centralising unitary state. The only way to claim that the EU is this or the other is by means of comparison to some other federal system, say, the USA. While that is a worthy endeavour, it should not be definitive. We already touched on the uniqueness of each polity and the importance of history. Furthermore, we must keep the gradualism of the integration process in perspective. The EU is not the end product. It evolves, so give this moving target time to mature.
B. A federalist, therefore, would be someone who insists on a direction to the integration process that greatly expands upon the existing federalist principles of the EU. They would want the non-federalist elements, such as inter-governmental affairs, to be reduced to a minimum. Quotidian politics would thus be allowed to unfold along the lines of federalist political theory. What you have not mentioned is the constitution. Federalists would want one too.
A. I would rather speak about primary law, because the constitution is an instance of that. In international relations, treaties have a special function as they are above the national constitutions. Treaties do not replace national basic law though, but frame it over a certain set of issues. Trade agreements have the same effect. The European Treaties are, in essence, a form of inter-state covenant. But there is much more to them. European law, as developed through the integration process and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Justice, has substantive qualities that do not require national constitutions to apply.
B. Such as the principle of direct effect…
A. Yes. Even if a Member State does not transpose European legislation into national law, a citizen can still claim any rights emanating from it.
B. Still, you are not referring specifically to a constitution.
A. The constitution is a codified corpus of primary law, whose codification happens within the national or cultural lifeworld. There can be a constitutional order without a single formal document, such as in the United Kingdom. European primary law has developed from a small set of generic trade agreements into a rich corpus of norms and legal principles. The European citizenship and fundamental rights are some headline examples. Apart from the material implications on individuals, the Treaties define the EU architecture, the roles of all entities involved, the distribution of competences, even the provisions for exiting the Union. They set out a fully fledged republic, even though it is not referred to as such. For all intents and purposes, the Treaties are a constitution. Unless, of course, we want to insist on regarding them as international law, which completely ignores the specifics of the European integration process.
B. Is this a good constitution though? Would a federalist be satisfied with it.
A. I have said nothing about my evaluation of it. My position concerns matters of principle. Qualitative issues are another discussion altogether. Seeing as I am running out of beer and am a bit tired, I cannot comment at length, so I will just share some final thoughts on federalism.
B. Shall I order another round? Half pints at least?
A. Judging from the content of our discussion, I think we had enough already. I digress. Federalism is a sound worldview and European federalists have made several important contributions to the thinking about Europe. What we need to bear in mind though is that the federalist movement need not fundamentally refashion the existing architecture. Several of its facets already conform with federalist tenets. And this will only be made ever more apparent once key policy areas are integrated further, such as fiscal policy, security and defence. As for the qualitative parameters, these no longer concern federalism per se, but only sensible policy making.
B. The bill please.

There are many different methods to invest in the stock market and each one has both positive and negative sides to argue. Every investment adviser out there will tell you something different, but one thing that most of them understand is the 'Buy and Hold' strategy of investing.
Buy and Hold is when you have a Buy Plan which says you are going to acquire value stocks that pay dividends and hold them for a long time.
There are several pieces to the statement I just made. Lets break it down.
- Acquire value stocks.
- These are stocks in solid, well known businesses in industries that have stood the test of time. These companies are probably not considered 'hot' or the 'latest thing'. They are relatively low risk because they are already established in their market and their products are proven and reliable. They are also usually quite large companies that can weather changes in world markets.
- Stocks that Pay Dividends.
- Dividends are a companies way of paying you back for investing in their stock. The companies that I look at have a long track record of consistent dividend payments. They haven't reduced or suspended their dividends and they might have recently increased payouts. These stocks might not have the highest dividend rates, but they are consistent.
- Hold them for a long time.
- There is a life cycle to every business. It is rare to find a company today that was alive 40 or 50 years ago. Wagon wheel manufacturers are no longer as needed as they once were. That said, a company can adapt and change their business as things change in the world. An example will be how well car companies adapt to an increasing demand for electric cars. This long term hold strategy requires you to keep an eye on changing times and consider if your company has the ability to weather changes in the demand for their products in the market.
It may not be the most exciting Buy Plan, but it has served me well over the years.

Chinese social media platform bans homosexual content
The Chinese social media and video platform TikTok seems to be a prime example of censorship.

With your social media profile's publish button always just a tap away on your omnipresent smartphone, it can be tempting to document every little detail of your day for your online audience, whether it's your puppy's latest antics or a little humble-bragging about your made-from-scratch avocado toast.
On one hand, you have influencers like the Kardashians. They are (in)famous for what some would call oversharing, and they'll post their exact locations and activities all throughout the day.
And on the other hand, you have the very real threat of identity theft and invasion of privacy related to sharing too much info online. Just ask the people who had their tax accounts hacked because hackers were able to guess their way into their financial accounts based on the Facebook pictures people shared of their pet or old school or parents (all commonly used details for security questions).
There's also the question of your personal brand and what your audience wants from you. In the end, finding the balance of what you share and what not to share online can help you grow your social clout, increase engagement, and keep you safe.
1. Be Authentic to connect emotionally
Knowing the type of audience you want to build and the type of curated content this audience craves should help give you an idea of whether you should share something or not.
Twitter influencer Jeff Pulver found this to be essential for blowing up his follower count. According to an interview with Forbes magazine, he discovered that his audience wanted to connect with him on both a spiritual, emotional, and business level.
He decided to open up about what it was like to try and lose weight. Pulver posted what he calls "ugly" photos of himself working out, and his posts documenting his personal struggle with losing weight went viral. "Within moments, he discovered 'unbounded love' from total strangers," reports the magazine. "People encouraged him to continue. As he became more open, more people started following him. At one point, he shared a photo of him doing a 'lap pull down' and received 500 likes on Facebook. In that moment, he discovered the authenticity of connecting."
That being said, it's important that you brainstorm how the authentic story you want to share relates to your overall profile. Is it something your audience cares about? Is it related to your theme and your vision and mission?
Sharing a random struggle or experience that doesn't connect in any way with your profile can be jarring and not accomplish the same level of connection as opening up about an experience that's related to your social media persona.
2. Tell Your Brand Story
Authenticity doesn't just have to apply to lifestyle accounts or your personal story. Opening up about your personal style or favorite products or latest sponsored partnership can give consumers a peek into your world and feel more connected to your brand story.
Andrea and Robert Tuckers at @lfieldsshoppe do exactly that. These influencers in Vancouver, BC, run London Fields Shoppe and started posting back in the mid-200s. They say that changing consumer trends means people are more and more mindful of what they buy. The couple use their Instagram feed to open up and tell the story about specific vintage items, or where they source a specific product, or the story behind a local craftsperson.
3. Don't Flood the Feed
On a panel at the Code/Mobile technology conference, Kim Kardashian was transparent about her own take on oversharing. She talked about how she's always posting her day-by-day activities, and often has a camera crew documenting every little thing she does.
She says her oversharing is exactly why she's an Instagram star, noting that her audience "want to vicariously live through what they see our lives to be. And then they feel this strong closeness. We're so open — so I think there's some kind of connection."
However, even the queen of oversharing says she's careful not to share too much. Her rule is to not share more than three images of herself in a single location. She says she caps it at this number because she's found that anything more than that will bore her audience.
If you're trying to determine whether you should post that photo or story, consider these questions:
- Have I already posted about this in the last 24 hours? If so, watch your engagement numbers to start determining at what point your audience starts to hit social media fatigue.
- Can I save this photo for a later time and recycle the idea?
4. Consider Privacy Concerns
Instagram influencer Monika Hibbs runs a lifestyle page that routinely revolves around her family, including her toddlers. "My children are my whole life, I couldn't imagine not sharing them," she says in an interview with the Vancouver Sun. "My brand is 'lifestyle' and I think it's completely OK to include them in my story on social media. I share moments with them, items that I love … that lots of other moms love to learn about. It's a great way to connect with other moms, and to, of course, keep it real."
However, being a parent means Hibbs is also aware of the dangers of oversharing.
"I certainly don't share everything and I think there are some things that should be kept very private," she says. "We've had some pretty big things happen that I don't think I'll ever share on social media. I open up to people whom I can seek wisdom from — I don't look to social media to help or solve my problems."
"I know the dangers of posting a photo of my son's bare bum on Instagram," she warns. "You will never find that on my feed. I have trained myself to always be conscious during my experience and not miss the moment by trying to get that perfect photo and caption for your audience."
One way Hibbs balances being open about her family's life while also safeguarding her family's privacy is by having two accounts. Her personal account is private and reserved for close friends and family, and allows her to share more intimate moments without worrying about oversharing with the hundreds of thousands of followers on her public page.
5. Think of the Long Term Outcomes
Once you share something on social media, it can live on and on, long after you might have deleted the post. This is a lesson many people learn only after getting dropped in a job interview or fired by a sponsor.
Always maintain a filter and ask yourself: Could this ever come back to harm my reputation or my brand?
This is especially true when it comes to things like politics or relationships. You may want to create an internal rule to draft a post then give it a day before publishing. This allows any emotions or feelings that could be clouding your judgment to dissipate so you can think with more clarity about whether or not you should post it.
Brands are always looking for people with open and authentic lifestyles. If this article inspired you to think of new approaches to your content, join #ThePaidCrew community and start partnering with world-class brands.

We are seeds
Each day we wake up to what life gives us and sometimes we step into it feeling bright and brave and other times our light is snuffed out before our first breath... My best friend lost two babies a few years ago...And when I lay next to her in her bed, I dug into the experience of my own pain. I haven't lost a child but I do know the gutted ache of loss... We sobbed as our fingers ran over the tiny baby dress that would never clothe the little girl we grieved.
And what I began to understand is this: pain is pain and it comes to all of us. There is no comparing one being worse than another. And in my own very dark days when taking another sleeping pill made more sense than getting dressed, I knew a choice was in front of me.
What I wish for all of us is that we use our bodies, our minds and our hearts to step forward, to live our beautiful life! It takes time. It takes work. It takes love. It takes trying new things. It takes a smile and a laugh. Who's with me?

Healthcare spending is expected to nearly double to $4.3 trillion by 2017. Who's most likely to benefit.
CNBC's Bertha Coombs explains that according to a new study released from economists at the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, known as CMS, spending on healthcare will likely double over the next decade.
From a sector standpoint, the study's authors say spending for personal health care services, prescription drug medications, and home health care services will see the biggest growth over the next ten years.
According to sources interviewed by Coombs, Amedisys, Inc (AMED), Humana (HUM) and Stryker Corporation (SYK) appear poised to benefit significantly.
Meanwhile, Pete Najarian suggests watching the following categories and stocks.
"Big Dogger" Pharma
Pfizer (PFE)
Lilly (LLY)
Merck (MRK)
Myriad Genetics (MYGN)
Cepheid (CPHD)
Zimmer (ZMH)
Stryker (SYK)
Najarian adds one caveat. These are long term investments, he says, not quick trades. And don't buy until we know who wins the White House.

The Welsh Government has scrapped plans to end the obligation after a consultation found just 12 per cent of respondents supported any change.
However, the CIPR local public services group has hit back at the decision. Labelling the set-up 'archaic', it has written to the Government in protest.
In its letter, the body said the rules 'reflect a time in which newspaper readership was far wider than it is today and councils did not have other, more powerful, ways of communicating with the communities they serve'.
The decision comes as the Department for Transport considers similar proposals in England, with a response expected in the autumn.
Proposals to end the obligation in Wales were launched in December by transport minister Carl Sargeant.
However, they were met with opposition from Plaid Cymru, Labour and Liberal Democrat politicians, and were attacked by some as threatening the future of the country's press.
The Newspaper Society, one of those opposing the move, said the Welsh Government had acknowledged ending the obligation could disenfranchise certain groups.
Robert Webb, comms manager at Monmouthshire County Council and a member of the CIPR group, said: 'At a time when local authorities are asked to make public savings, it is perverse that this area remains sacrosanct.
'The money could be used on frontline services. Though the media have said they need the income, there are more honest ways of getting that subsidy.'

BTC Capital Management – a wealth management firm owned by Bankers Trust Company – aims to reach a unique audience: high net-worth individuals, corporations and institutions.
We knew communicating with these audiences would require a unique strategy. Websites, blogs and social media alone wouldn't suffice. Nor would conventional tactics like direct mailers, brochures, press releases or media buys be effective for persuading high net-worth individuals, corporations or institutions to entrust millions of dollars to BTC Capital Management.
No, there needed to be something personal and tangible. A marketing piece that didn't come out and scream "Look at our marketing collateral!" So we pitched the idea of publishing a magazine. It would be sharply designed and eloquently penned. A classy and sophisticated magazine that a multi-millionaire or the head of a financial institution might realistically pick up and read.
This was the idea behind LEAD Magazine – a biannual publication we helped BTC Capital Management launch in the spring of 2011. In each of the first two editions we featured four members of the BTC Cap team, the long-form copy style of magazine profiles proving to be the perfect form for capturing the personality and expertise of the investment professionals.
LEAD magazine – which goes out to approximately 3,000 clients, prospects and members of the investment community – was an immediate success. While our friends at BTC Cap wouldn't disclose how much new business it helped generate, we're told that it was instrumental in landing some new clients. And when new clients mean millions of dollars for the BTC Cap team to manage, it's no wonder they decided to give LEAD a permanent spot on its roster of marketing publications.

We met the friendly people at Fishing Friendzy last summer during the CNE.
Our girls, Alexandra and Leah learned how to cast a line at the demonstration area and they had so much fun doing it. They asked us to buy them fishing rods and we did. We went fishing at the Pinery Provincial Park this summer and both girls caught sunfish. They were thrilled!

I purchased this truck as a stripped 2wd version in July 1997 with 150,987 miles. I was 15. Today I have over 300,000 miles and loads of modifications. It will take moving heaven and earth to get rid of the truck. When gas gets too expensive I'll either find something else to fuel it or pretend I'm driving it in the driveway.

Grant From Italian Ministry for the Environment Now Operational
The Italian Ministry for the Environment, Land, and Sea (IMELS) has offered Lebanon a 5 Million Euros grant hosted by the Central Bank of Lebanon (BDL). The grant will be offered to final beneficiaries willing to implement energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in Lebanon through the NEEREA financing mechanism. The grant will cover 10% of the amount of any loan taken under NEEREA given that not less than 60% of the value of the project covers products and/or services by Italian SME's. The grant will be used in all economic sectors except the residential sector. The 10% grants would be reserved once the project proposal is checked and considered eligible by the technical team of LCEC, and will be disbursed once the actual implementation of the project is checked by the LCEC team. LCEC encourages all interested parties to benefit from this new initiative. Italian enterprises will be present as part of a large Italian pavilion at the upcoming International Beirut Energy Forum 2017.

6 Healthy Ice Cream Alternatives
Spring is in full swing and the temps outside are heating up! If you're like me, the temptation to dive into a pint of ice cream increases with the warmer weather… not exactly a bikini-friendly move! So here is our AppforHealth.com Top Ice Cream Alternatives list. We love ice cream too, but these are 6 equally delicious cool treats that will keep you looking Swimsuit Sexy!
Non Fat Greek Yogurt with Fresh Berries
If you're craving something rich, cold and creamy, there's no need to dive into that pint of Double-Double Chocolate Mocha Chip…. unless you've had a really, really bad day!
Try meeting your cold creamy craving with this naturally sweet treat:
Top a 6 oz cup of non fat Greek yogurt with a half cup of fresh Strawberries, Blackberries, Blueberries or Raspberries. This combines the creaminess of Greek yogurt with summer fruits at their peak — and for under 150 calories! Your taste buds — and bikini — will love you!
Although sorbet has sugar, it will save you a lot of calories and fat vs. traditional ice cream. In fact many sorbets contain no fat and a half cup serving is generally 150 calories or less. As a sorbet aficionado, some of my favorites include Whole Fruit Mango Sorbet, Haagen-Dazs Strawberry Sorbet, and Ciao Bella Lemon Zest Sorbet. They're almost good enough to make you forget about ice cream!
Berry Smoothie
A great berry smoothie is the perfect antidote for a hot summer day. It will help cool you down, and also fill you up with good stuff. A classic berry smoothie, made with fresh summer fruit and non fat yogurt or skim milk, provides calcium and potassium, along with a bonus of heart-healthy fiber and antioxidants.
For a simple and delicious berry smoothie blend berries of your choice with 1/2 cup skim milk and 2 tablespoons non fat Greek or non fat traditional yogurt. For some extra pizzazz, add a dash of vanilla extract, orange zest, and cinnamon.
Frozen Yogurt Popsicles
This one's like the berry smoothie, but in frozen-on-a-stick form. And they're a healthy alternative to sugar filled store-bought pops. Blend non fat yogurt with berries, pour into a popsicle mold and freeze — don't forget the stick! Or to keep it even simpler, just pour into an ice cube tray and freeze with toothpicks.
Chocolate-Dipped Frozen Bananas
Chocolate. Bananas. Need I say more? Oh, and there so simple to make you could practically do it in your sleep… although that could get a little messy.
Here's what you do:
1) Freeze some bananas on a stick
2) Melt some chocolate (I prefer dark to counter the sweetness of the bananas)
3) Dip frozen bananas into the melted chocolate and freeze again for at least 30 min.
Then, you enjoy an amazing sweet treat for less than 180 calories* and wonder why everything in life isn't this good! (*Assuming you keep to one small banana and don't overdo the chocolate dipping).
Chocolate Pudding
It may sound totally decadent, but chocolate pudding, when made with skim or low fat milk, can be a good skinny alternative to full fat ice cream. You can make your own or buy a pre-made low fat variety. Don't trust yourself with a full tub of pudding? Look for portion-controlled 6-packs. Some have a little as just 110 calories per individual pudding cup.

It's not that you shouldn't study other photographers. You should definitely know what's been made before you – and what's currently being made. But if you're working on your stuff – if you're REALLY working on it, then you're too busy to read and keep up with 20 other photographers blogs.
You're too busy to talk on photographers forums and argue about the quality of a lens, or the latest version of Photoshop.

Posts tagged 'Japan Railways'
Train Food, JR Stations, All Over Japan
Japanese railway stations are a great place to grab some food. I'm assuming that eating on the go has a longer tradition. In every (small and big) railstation you can buy a bento box. Even though it looks like wood it's just cardboard. Every piece of food is in its own separate compartment, chopsticks as well as miniature bottles of soy sauce and other condiments are given to you. It seems that the boxes are made fresh every day, since depending on the stations some will always be sold out at the stands. If you don't speak Japanese getting a Bento is like giving yourself a present. You never quiet know what's inside it. If you're in a rush, every train has a food cart where you can buy Bento boxes, beer and other snacks. I always thought Switzerland had a decent railway system. Look at Japan and think again. Elvetino Railbar ? Overpriced, tasteless, and loveless sandwiches prepared by a machine. Elvetino Bistro / Restaurant ? Crappy food mangled by reheating it. The food in the smaller Japanese railway stations is often prepared freshly onsite, a long shot from food to go in other places. Of course it is Japanese and you might be in for some strange tastes, but if you find a Bento you like, you're in heaven.

Spirit & Manifestation
Acts 1:1-5 Unquestionably, the baptism of the spirit is held up as the more significant. John stated it himself four times.
John 1:29-34 The baptism of John came to an end. He did not baptize people in the name of Jesus the Christ because he did not know Jesus was the Christ until this point. The sacrifice of Christ did not happen in the lifetime of John. The book of Acts does record water baptism, which has to be understood, but first we must acknowledge the distinction between John's baptism and the baptism of spirit.
If we conclude that water baptism can provide forgiveness of sins, then Jesus did not need to die so that we could be washed in his blood.
Acts 1:5 Did Jesus water baptize his disciples? He said that John did so and he (Jesus) did not. The baptism of Jesus Christ is with spirit.
Acts 1:5; Luke 24:47-49; Acts 2:33, 39 The promise of the Father had everything to do with the baptism of the holy spirit.
Acts 1:7 and 8 Power and witness
Acts 2:1-4 Speaking in tongues was one of the things that the spirit empowered them to do.
Acts 2:6; I Corinthians 14:2 The speaker did not understand, but the listener did.
Acts 2:14-21 Peter explained that the baptism of the spirit was what Joel prophesied regarding. From there, he is able to jump into why they had been given this promise from the Father. As Jesus said, the spirit would help them to be witnesses unto him.
Acts 2:22-33 He remains consistent to the topic of what just happened the baptism of the holy spirit.
Acts 2:37-40 The context demands we conclude that the baptism in the name of Jesus Christ here is regarding the holy spirit.
Acts 8:4-13 It seems apparent that Philip is baptizing in the name of Jesus with water (36-40).
Acts 8:14-18 They were concerned that they receive the holy spirit. We can conclude that water baptism does not ensure a person is baptized in spirit.
Acts 10:43-48 We can conclude that water baptism is not required to receive the holy spirit. Peter felt it was necessary afterwards. They spoke in tongues.
Acts 18:24 - 19:6 Manifestations were commonplace.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 We should seek to have these things in our lives.

Approximately 10,000 visitors attended the two-day charity event, which was held at the famous Top Gear track in Dunsfold Park and raised over £75,000 for The Children's Trust. Lending his support to The Supercar Event, television and radio presenter Chris Evans took his Ferrari for a spin on Sunday. And five lucky winners, from a bidding competition on the day, enjoyed the thrill of a ride with the famous star. The auctions for these rides raised £3,000. The Supercar Event, now in its seventh year, was also supported by television DIY presenter Craig Phillips and compere Jason Holman, who hosted the event. Other celebrities included Made in Chelsea stars Ollie Locke and Oscar Ligenza, and former EastEnders actor Dean Gaffney, television presenter Kaddy Lee-Preston and former Big Brother star Stuart Hosking. Generous drivers from Club Scuderia, Petrolhead Nirvana, Pistonheads and individual owners provided a unique experience of once-in-a-lifetime rides in 125 supercars: dozens of Ferraris including an Enzo, McLaren 12C Spider, Lamborghinis, Maseratis, the Lexus LFA and many more. A total of 2,300 rides were given, amounting to over 6,300 miles around the track. Visitors could also enjoy a spin in a Caterham Seven around a specially designed skidpan circuit and rides with the Sporting Bears. Hannah Du Gray, Project Manager for The Supercar Event, The Children's Trust said: "We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who made the event such a success - the Supercar committee, the drivers for the generous contribution of their time, cars, petrol and skill to ensure that every supercar ride was memorable, the track marshals who worked hard to ensure safety for all, our sponsor Lexus and finally to staff and our many volunteers, who gave their time to make it the most successful Supercar Event ever."

Humanitarian, hostage negotiator and author of several books including the international bestseller Taken on Trust, Terry Waite has led a remarkable life as a diplomat and a humanitarian.
A world-renowned agent of peace, he is a testament to the power and resilience of the human spirit. In his capacity as advisor to the Archbishop of Canterbury, Terry travelled extensively throughout the world. In the early 1980s, he successfully negotiated the release of several hostages from Iran and this event brought him to public attention. In 1983, he negotiated with Colonel Gadaffi for the release of British hostages held in Libya and again was successful. In 1987, while negotiating for the release of Western hostages in Lebanon, he himself was taken captive and remained in captivity for 1,763 days, the first four years of which were spent in total solitary confinement.
Terry Waite was born in the county of Cheshire, England on the 31st May 1939. He was educated locally and received his higher education in London. On leaving college he was appointed as Education Advisor to the Anglican Bishop of Bristol, England and remained in that post until he moved to East Africa in 1969. In Uganda he worked as Provincial Training Adviser to the first African Anglican Archbishop of Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi and in that capacity travelled extensively throughout East Africa. Together with his wife Frances and their four children he witnessed the Amin coup in Uganda and both he and his wife narrowly escaped death on several occasions. From his office in Kampala he founded the Southern Sudan Project and was responsible for developing programmes of aid and development for this war-torn region.
In 1972 he responded to an invitation to work as an International Consultant to a Roman Catholic Medical Order and moved with his family to live in Rome, Italy. From this base he travelled extensively throughout Asia, Africa, North and South America and Europe both conducting and advising on programmes concerned with Institutional Change and Development, Inter-Cultural Relations, Group and Inter-group Dynamics and a broad range of development issues connected with both health and education.
In 1980 he was recruited by the Archbishop of Canterbury and moved to Lambeth Palace, London where he joined the Archbishop's Private Staff. In his capacity as Advisor to the Archbishop he again travelled extensively throughout the world and had a responsibility for the Archbishop's diplomatic and ecclesiastical exchanges. He arranged and travelled with the Archbishop on the first ever visit of an Archbishop of Canterbury to China and has responsibility for travels to Australia, New Zealand, Burma, USA, Canada, The Caribbean, South Africa, East and West Africa to name but a few places.
In the early 1980s he successfully negotiated the release of several hostages from Iran and this event brought him to public attention. In 1983 he negotiated with Colonel Ghadafi for the release of British hostages held in Libya and again was successful. In January 1987 while negotiating for the release of Western hostages in Lebanon he himself was taken captive and remained in captivity for 1,763 days, the first four years of which were spent in total solitary confinement.
Following his release on 19th November 1991 he was elected a Fellow Commoner at Trinity Hall Cambridge England where he wrote his first book Taken on Trust. This quickly became an international best-seller and headed the lists in the UK and elsewhere. Following his experience as a captive he decided to make a career change and determined to give himself to study, writing, lecturing and humanitarian activities. His second book Footfalls in Memory was published in the UK in 1995 and again was a best-seller. His latest book published in October 2000 Travels with a Primate is a humorous account of his journeys with Archbishop Runcie. He has contributed articles to many journals and periodicals ranging from the Reader's Digest to the Kipling Journal and has also contributed articles and forewords to many books. He was elected Visiting Fellow to Magdalen College Oxford for the Trinity term 2006.
Since his release Terry Waite has been in constant demand as a lecturer, writer and broadcaster and has appeared in North and South America, Australia and New Zealand, South Africa and throughout Europe. There has been a particular interest in the lectures he has delivered relating his experiences as a negotiator and as a hostage to the pressures faced by executives and managers. Stress, loneliness and negotiating under acute pressure are but some of the issues with which he has a unique experiences and his ability to communicate clearly and with good humour has meant that he is in constant demand as a speaker not only to the Business Community but also to professionals in social work, education and medical field as well as to religious groups. He maintains an on-going interest in current humanitarian and political affairs.
