A pro-independence blog by James Kelly - voted one of Scotland's top 10 political websites.

Auntie Backwater?
Beyond that, all I really have are a series of questions -
1) Will there be some sort of token content on the channel during the hours of the day when it is not properly on air? BBC Alba currently does that, and it's surely a necessary step in building up and retaining an audience. If this is to be a genuinely part-time channel, it will suffer from an enormous handicap.
2) Is this channel being set up to fail? In other words, will the BBC take direct responsibility for making sure people watch the channel by relentlessly promoting its content on BBC1, BBC2, BBC radio stations, and the BBC website? Or will it be ignored, thus sealing its fate as a minority backwater channel, and allowing the BBC hierarchy to use its "failure" as proof that there is no demand for Scottish-produced news or drama?
3) Will the diversion of Scottish programming from BBC2 help to build prestige and credibility for the new channel, or will the reverse happen? Will the audience figures for those programmes be allowed to tumble?
4) Will Pacific Quay embrace the channel as their flagship operation, or will they still regard scraps from the table on the network channels as being more important?
I'm sure there must be plenty of other questions, but those are the ones that immediately spring to mind.

And note we can't currently view BBC Scotland on iPlayer. Will this new channel be there?ReplyDeleteReplies
- AnonymousFebruary 22, 2017 at 9:28 PM
Apparently yes.Delete
iPlayer has a Categories section, in which you can choose Scotland (or Wales, NI etc).Delete
It has a "Watch BBC One Scotland Live" link too.
The Scottish 6 was to be an alternative!ReplyDelete
They will promote the scandi-drama or whatever's on BBC2 at 9pm. Even if they don't promote the drama, who's going to watch a Scottish version of the news when they can still get THE news at 10.
I was amazed to see an SNP stalwart say "she doesn't know anyone who watches the news at 6". Well, I do and I'm guessing lots of the undecided voters do too.
It's also been tweeted that we got used to the news moving from 9 to 10 - as if they are now moving it back to 9 - they are not!
I've also been wondering if the new channel will be easily found on iPlayer, or at all. Incidentally, you can see BBC Scotland on iPlayer - it's just safely tucked away under Categories.Replies
Clarification - I am not an undecided.Delete
When was the last time you watched bbc3 or BBC4?ReplyDelete
No one will watch it. But thats a good thing - we have enough sep propaganda as it is.Replies

Ruth Davidson demanded access to the single market be placed at heart of Britain's Brexit negotiating strategy.Delete
Speaking at a Westminster lunch shortly after meeting Theresa May for the first time since the Home Secretary became Tory leader, Ms Davidson said Scotland's businesses were 'kept afloat' by the EU free trading zone.
Asked what her vision for Brexit is, Ms Davidson said: 'There is a real danger of the Government going forward and no matter what it is they negotiate, and it's not just about Britian writing a list and getting everything, it's about having negotiations, there will be some kind of betrayal narrative.
'In terms of what I think Brexit looks like and should look like, for me the one thing I have said right from the beginning I want access to the single market.

Ogling as a form of sexualizing and objectifying people is so common among sex addicts as to be almost universal. And it can also provide a direct trigger to relapse in an addict who gets swept into fantasy.Delete
For some sex addicts looking at women in a sexual way is part of their addictive ritual. They feel deprived of sex, even rejected by the women they look at and this paves the way for them to escape into their other sexually addictive behaviors such as internet porn.

Two principles.ReplyDelete
1. BBC Scotland should autonomously be able to decide how to structure their programme, and be it in direct competition with BBC England 1 and 2.
2. Broadcasting to be established as a devolved matter.
Of course, out-right independence for Scotland would be better still.

We need a a Trump revolution. Cut spending on wasters. Cut tax on lower earners.
- Glasgow Working Class 2February 22, 2017 at 11:09 PM
In 1989, Trump told an interviewer that a well-educated black man had tremendous advantages over a well-educated white man in the job market. He said that he if he were starting off again he would want to be a black man with a good education because he truly believes that they have an advantage. He also believes that racism is completely gone because America elected a black president.Delete
- Glasgow Working Class 2February 22, 2017 at 11:12 PM
The University of Scotland bestowed upon Donald Trump an honorary degree in recognition of his achievements as an entrepreneur and a businessman. In 2015, the University decided to revoke that degree on the basis that Trump no longer represents the ethos and values of the University of Scotland. Donald Trump has also lost his status as official business ambassador in Scotland.Delete

Mr McConnell, who has been accused of overstepping his ministerial responsibilities for supporting Mr Trump's golf project before it has even received planning permission, said the businessman was perfect for promoting Scotland.Delete
Jack Wilson McConnell, Baron McConnell of Glenscorrodale (born 30 June 1960) is a Scottish politician and a Labour life peer in the House of Lords. He was the third First Minister of Scotland from 2001 to 2007. He was the Member of the Scottish Parliament for Motherwell and Wishaw from 1999 to 2011.

I think it almost certainly will be only a part-time channel. It's going to take the bandwith that BBC3 currently uses when BBC3 becomes iPlayer only, i.e. only after 7pm. The daytime bandwith for BBC3 and BBC4 is used for CBBC and CBeebies.ReplyDelete
I don't subscribe to the view taken by some of my fellow unionists that a Scottish Six would turn into SNP propaganda. Nonetheless, I don't think that proponents of the Scottish Six demonstrated a real public appetite for the proposal. From what I gathered, the pilots went down quite badly with focus groups.ReplyDelete
This seems like a reasonable compromise. It gives people more choice, which can only be a good thing.Replies

I suspect that the new channel will consist mainly of the same old crap as before but with:ReplyDelete
a) more Scottish accents
b) lots of embittered Labour & Libdem ex-MPs & councillors going SNPBAAAAD
c) relentless criticism and spin against the SNP and personal attacks on the FM, giving minimal, if any coverage of the positive achievements of the Scottish government.
d) As many holier-than-thou lefties & Indy fringe types as they can get hold of criticising other lefties and Indy fringe types for not being holy enough. Many in this category are actually more in love with their own ego self image than trying to actually do anything meaningful about Scottish independence and will be seized upon by the Unionist media as useful idiots to sow discord in the Indy movement.
I would be delighted to be proved wrong but I think that this way of thinking is too deeply ingrained in the unionist media to be changed, particularly in the BBC who are past masters of this type of media manipulation.
With another indyref on the horizon, the British State have obviously decided they need more propaganda this time.ReplyDelete

Freedom and EqualityDelete
Fundamentally, anarchism is the struggle for freedom. Freedom from rulers and corporations who dominate our lives and are destroying our earth. Freedom for workers, women, and all oppressed people in all parts of the world. We believe that this sort of freedom can only be achieved together with equality and a fair distribution of resources.

A safeword is usually given to the submissive partner to prevent the dominant from overstepping physical and emotional boundaries. The safeword is especially important when engaging in verbal humiliation or playing "mind-games", because the dominant may not be aware of an emotional boundary until it is crossed. If an emotional boundary is breached and the safeword spoken, the dominant should cease all play immediately and discuss the emotional breach with the submissive in a tender and understanding manner. Negotiating limits in advance is also an important element in a Domineering/submissive relationship.Delete

Or option 5. - the BBC have decided Scotland is having independence soon so are getting the infrastructure in place for the new country to have a dedicated channel from our nearest neighbour?ReplyDelete
The new channel's success will depend on who they target. BBC3 was for the youth market, BBC4 for a more academic market. Our new channel is for the Scottish market but that covers everything from soap-operas like River City to documentaries like Clyde Built ships.ReplyDelete
There is to be 60% new content, so hopefully it's not just a dumping ground for River City. But if they moved Still Game to the new channel, that'd give it a real boost. Perhaps they can move Scottish football to that channel too and create a Scottish Top of the Pops type show.
So there could be a lot of good in it.
The danger is that commentators then claim that since there isn't a BBC England, Scotland has got more than its fair share. Thus, BBC1 should really be England-focussed.
BBC News will also claim that an English focus is needed to balance BBC Scotland. Obviously, for political enthusiasts like us reading this site, the new news program is of most concern. What will it be like? Something light like Timeline or something a bit more hard-hitting and investigative like Channel 4 news?
All we know at the moment is that the BBC recognise Scotland is well pissed off and this is their attempt at meeting our concerns. But what we really wanted was more Scottish content in the UK broadcast news and a recognition by the main UK news that we have DEVOLUTION and that a UK news program shouldn't be mostly about England. Alas, that hasn't happened and I fear the main news programs will take this as an opportunity to push English dominance even more.
Still, I think it's a good thing to have a dedicated channel (even if it's just the old BBC3 slot) and I await with interest to see if it does anything decent.
Hopefully, it's not just endless re-runs of River City...

It will still be a Yoon Propaganda channel. The Sap Heids will continue to pay the Yoon TV TAX for the privilege of being lied to and patronised.ReplyDelete
The Brit Nat Brainwashing Corporation needs to be kept well away from any new channel and its present one just simply needs to be shut down.

With the new BBC channel, which I expect will be the same old, same old tartan Britnattery, just in larger doses, if not wall to wall, the need for a Scottish public broadcaster will become even more acute.

I am posting a series of questions which you may attempt. You do not need to answer the questions in chronological order, choose any you may want to answer. However, please indicate the number for the question which you are answering. I will be replying directly to your comments!
Any question can be answered more than once. If you see that a colleague has already answered a question which you would like to answer reply directly her comment. For example if Stacy answers question 1 and you would like to do the same reply to the comment which Stacy has posted, this will make it easier to have discussions.
1. What is the difference between breathing and respiration?
2. What is the equation for respiration? Can you give a brief explanation for this equation?
3. What are the parts of the respiratory system? Give the function of each! (No one person has to state all the parts and functions you can do maybe 1 or 2 and leave some for your colleagues)
4. What happens during inhalation?
5. What happens during exhalation?
6. What effect does exercise have on the respiratory system? (long term/ short term)

Seinesational picked up the second win of his career this evening, just a week after breaking his maiden at Windsor.
This evening's win came at Brighton and the 3yo son of Champs Elysees was this time partnered by promising young apprentice Jason Watson, whose 5lb claim almost cancelled out the 6lb penalty awarded for last week's win.
Seinesational tracked the leaders and travelled strongly throughout the race. He made his move with 3 furlongs left to run and drew upsides the leader within the final furlong. He looked to have the race in his grasp when the first past the post drifted right, carrying Seinesational with him. Seinesational, although beaten a neck, was awarded the race following a lengthy stewards' enquiry which deemed the 'winner' to have caused significant interference, costing Seinesational the race. It is obviously preferable to win outright, rather than in the stewards' room, but this was a deserved win for the horse.
The horses are in good form, and tomorrow sees Secret Art return to Chelmsford to try and get the double following his victory at the track last month.

As of the current editor version of the spec GL [1], the word "specification" seems to be used inconsistently. Sometimes it seems to refer to a technical report unit (namely, an entry in the TR page [2]), sometimes a technology unit. Especially, all the GL "Address the use of [] to divide the specification" seems to use the word specification as meaning technology (or assumes a pre-existing specification that would then be divided which is often wrong for the said divisions). This is especially true for profiles and levels which are usually defined in separate documents. Anyway, I think we need: - to clarify the meaning of the word specification in the introduction - adjust the GL accordingly. In the end, it might even help clarifying the complex relationships between the various dimensions of variability. [side note: is the usage of profile in "An XHTML + MathML + SVG Profile" [3] the same as the one we define?] Dom 1. http://www.w3.org/QA/WG/2002/08/qaframe-spec-0804.html 2. http://www.w3.org/TR/ 3. http://www.w3.org/TR/XHTMLplusMathMLplusSVG/ -- Dominique Hazaël-Massieux - http://www.w3.org/People/Dom/ W3C/INRIA mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com on Friday, 9 August 2002 12:21:53 UTC

Authorities say that a 56-year-old male motorist in a Toyota Camry sedan tried to turn left from Forest Avenue to Union Street. At the same time, a Ford Ranger pickup truck on Union Street arrived at the intersection. The Ranger reportedly broad-sided the Camry, trapping the driver inside.
Extrication Required
Firefighters from the Spartanburg Fire Department extricated the man from his vehicle in less than six minutes, according to a spokesperson. Emergency personnel put him on a stretcher and loaded him into an ambulance. They transported him to Spartanburg Medical Center, but he did not survive. The driver of the pickup sustained non-life-threatening injuries, and he was also taken to the same medical center for treatment.
The investigation is ongoing, and there was no immediate word regarding who was at fault. Toxicology test results are pending according to wyff news.
Although the investigation into this particular fatal event continues, South Carolina state law allows victims of negligent conduct on the state's roadways to seek redress via civil litigation. It is often possible to seek compensation for unpaid medical expenses, pain-and-suffering and lost wages.
If you or a family member is a victim in a car accident, it is possible to speak with Columbia personal injury lawyers regarding the matter, at no cost to you. To learn more about our services, please contact us.

This ankle boot is cute and comfy. I read other reviews in which some ladies had trouble putting the but on but this was not the case for me. These boots are true to size and slip on effortlessly. I did purchase these boots on a sale and am pleased with quality of the sale price, I do not feel the quality matches the full retail price listed.

Institute on Religion & Democracy Press Release
May 17, 2016
Contact: Jeff Walton cell: 202-413-5639, e-mail: email@example.com
"Activists who seek to enroll the church in demonizing Israel serve neither peace nor justice for anybody"
-UM Action Director John Lomperis
Portland, OR—United Methodists have voted to encourage church boards and agencies to end their affiliation with an organization that promotes boycotts, divestment and sanctions (BDS) against Israel. Delegates from across the 12.1 million-member denomination adopted a proposal asking to conclude agency affiliation with the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation on a vote of 478 to 319 (60 percent to 40 percent) during their quadrennial General Conference meeting in Portland, Oregon.
The General Conference was asked by its public policy arm, the General Board on Church and Society (GBCS), to divest its financial holdings from companies that do business with Israel. Instead, the conference voted to encourage the United Methodist mission board, the General Board on Global Ministries (GBGM) to divest from the anti-Israel coalition, one that GBGM itself was heavily involved in helping establish.
Further votes are expected this week addressing denominational policy towards Israel, including a measure pushed by GBCS that would require church agencies to divest themselves of holdings in Motorola Solutions, Hewlett Packard and Caterpillar, which all sell non-lethal equipment to the Israeli military. The measure was defeated in committee, but may still be considered by the full conference.
The United Methodist Church previously rejected a policy of divestment by a 2-1 margin in 2012, while the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the United Church of Christ adopted divestment policies at their respective governing conventions.
UM Action Director and Elected General Conference Delegate John Lomperis commented:
"In this surprising move to decisively reject affiliation with this anti-Israel coalition, the United Methodist Church is charting a different path than the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and the United Church of Christ.
"United Methodists can seek to be fair brokers between Israelis and Palestinians, or they can immediately marginalize our voice by solely blaming one side.
"The decision to encourage ending our denomination's affiliation with the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation is an appropriate rejection of a movement that simplistically ignores the numerous complexities of this troubled region while disturbingly singling out the world's lone Jewish state for demonization.
"Activists who seek to enroll the church in demonizing Israel serve neither peace nor justice for anybody."Google+

Keepers of the Wild: Keepers of the Wild is frequently asked if we have "Animal Ambassadors". Unfortunately most people believe that Wild Animal Sanctuaries should follow the same standards as Zoos by providing animals to be presented by trainers and handlers in performances or to be handled by visitors under the guise of education. Our mission is to educate them about true Animal Ambassadors.
We believe that each and every animal that calls Keepers of the Wild their forever home is a representative for their particular species. Each one has a unique story to tell….. their life before Keepers, the issues that their species faces in relationship to mankind, their native habitats and conservation. We also believe that our supporters are Animal Ambassadors by learning about animals and sharing their knowledge of wildlife that live in captivity and those in their native homelands.
Each month an individual Keepers of the Wild Animal Ambassador will tell their unique story. Sometimes they will relate what occurred recently in their home here at the park. We hope that they will touch your heart and encourage you to share their story with a friend or family member.
Meet Sasha:
I can remember back when I was young, although I cannot remember ever being with my mother. I was too young when I was taken from her. The days were so long and there were so many people that were touching me…. I was so tired…. I just wanted to be left alone to sleep. There was no time or place for me to rest…….until I made it to Keepers of the Wild when I was 8 months old. My owners decided that since they could not make money by having people pay to take their picture with me or to pet me, that they would donate me to Keepers. I was so lucky! My siblings and I were brought to Arizona to live for the rest of our lives. There are some "photo-opportunity" cubs that are sold at exotic animal auctions to people to have for a pet. Other cubs are sold to people that operate "canned hunts" on farms as a wildlife "trophy". Many cubs ended up living their lives on Tiger Farms until they are old enough to harvest for their body parts
I get to enjoy life now. There is room to explore and roam throughout the habitat that I share with my brothers. Sometimes we lie underneath the big trees and enjoy watching the leaves moving in the breeze. There are big boulders that we like to sprawl across…. in the wintertime the boulders seem warm in the sunshine ….. in the summertime the boulders feel cool in the evenings after a rain storm. When I want to get away from my brothers I just stand up and take a walk to the opposite end of the habitat. I visit with other tigers and watch them, sometimes I watch the people that come to visit me.
A couple of weeks ago there was a big storm. I enjoyed watching the water flow through the wash in our habitat. Then I just go up, walked through the rushing water and went to the other side to watch even more water coming down the hillside. It seems the simple things in life can be the best. I am happy and thankful that I have such a wonderful home.
– Sasha

On Wednesday, two major university news outlets merged in an effort to streamline information for all WSU campuses. WSU Insider, a program launched in January, replaced WSU News' website and daily newsletter.
By making an effort to adopt new methods of sharing information with staff and students, University Communications is taking steps in the right direction, but there are a number of issues that still need to be resolved.
"As a general rule of thumb, you should never let a website go even three years without an update," said David Wasson, director for news and media relations. "From my understanding, it had been at least four or five for WSU News."
With these visual changes came improvements to navigating the page, how stories are organized and a number of new tabs for specific resources. Stories are now sorted into categories instead of being in one long list.
"The immediate change is anything that the university sends out as an external news release is now on one location," Wasson said. "As a journalist, you don't have to sort through a chronological list of headlines."
Streamlining University Communications in this manner will address some of the major aesthetic and systematic issues with the old WSU News website. But there are several major problems that will require clearer focus and more than just a visual overhaul to fix.
The issue that goes largely unresolved as a result of the merger has less to do with changing how information on Insider is presented and more to do with the content itself.
In order to be more useful to people, Insider must make transparency their first concern.
Already they have made improvements to the old system, like adding a tab for journalists and making information easier to find. But on top of this, they have to make sure pertinent information like the yearly budget and legislation changes are available and ensure the "For Journalists" tab has more than self-appreciative news releases.
There are fantastic stories in the WSU system, but not all of them are going to be positive. I'm not suggesting WSU showcase its faults en masse, but acknowledging problems is the first step to fixing them. Insider can show the best of WSU while still having the humility to communicate when things go wrong.
That kind of diversity is much more useful than just sharing WSU's success.
Insider could have a "Transparency" tab with a goal similar to that of The Daily Evergreen's tab of the same name. This would communicate the idea that WSU knows not everything is perfect, a concept communicated too often by concerned students instead of administration.
Wasson said Insider is built on a decentralized model he hopes will encourage a lot of voices from different campuses and colleges. Aspiring to include voices from all campuses is healthy and promotes unity throughout the system. But if those voices are limited to administration, the community will suffer for it.
Insider has a chance to contribute to the growth of WSU in a truly meaningful way by praising its successes while also admitting that things are far from where they ought to be. This will help replenish an ingredient to successful universities that WSU often lacks: trust.

Despite the fact that Oksana Grigorieva tells every interviewer that she has "no plans" to marry baby-daddy Mel Gibson, the National Enquirer is still running stories about Mel and Oksana's impending wedding. There are some shifting goalposts and contradictions, but the basic gist has remained the same. The Enquirer claims that shortly after Oksana gives birth (maybe in November or December), Mel wants a wedding sometime around Christmas, probably at Mel's private Holy Family Chapel in Agoura Hills. Whether this is true, I have no idea. In any case, you kind of have to take the Enquirer's word for it to believe this story… apparently, Oksana is saying "nyet" to Mel Gibson's generous pre-nup offer.
Mel Gibson's fiancee has said "Nyet!" to his prenup offer. Now pals say Mel – who has to pony up about half his $1 billion fortune to estranged wife Robyn – could pay a staggering $250 million if his second marriage crumbles.
Pregnant Oksana Grigorieva is reportedly due to deliver the couple's baby girl in early December. They are rumored to be planning a Christmas wedding.
Oksana "gave Mel a kick in the head when she flat-out refused to sign" the prenup agreement, a longtime family friend told The Enquirer. Mel's offer was generous – $5 million a year for up to 10 years, the friend confided.
"But Oksana wants all or nothing. The same thing happened when she was engaged to Timothy Dalton – and she walked away."
"She had Timothy's baby, but refused to marry him because he insisted on a prenup to protect his fortune," said the friend. "Oksana was offended by it – and now she's telling Mel the same thing."
Mel is "seriously conflicted by Oksana's reaction," revealed the friend. "He's such a God-fearing Catholic, he's adamant that getting married to her is the right thing to do."
"But she's stubborn. She'll give him up before she'll sign. She's done it before."
[From the National Enquirer, print edition, November 2 2009]
Now, most reports do have Mel Gibson "lavishing" gifts on Oksana, and Oksana eating it up. With caviar. If this is true, how do we read it? Is Oksana holding out for more money? Or was she genuinely offended by Mel's demands for any kind of pre-nup. I won't mock her for that, I know a lot of women who are genuinely offended when men talk about prenups because they think it's not romantic. Me? I'm a pragmatist. I wouldn't scoff at $5 million a year for bangin' Mel's crazy ass. Well… let me rethink that. If Oksana was a really smart golddigger (which she may be) she could ask that a "Sugart-ts Clause" be added to the prenup. As in, if Mel Gibson ever gets drunk and makes a public ass out of himself, she gets a huge payday. That's totally what I would do.

Jim Flaherty the latest to leap into 'innovation gap'
Posted on March 10, 2010 in Debates
Source: Toronto Star — Authors: Carol Goar
Published On Wed Mar 10 2010. By Carol Goar, Editorial Board
Five Canadian finance ministers have tried to crack the productivity puzzle. All failed. Now Jim Flaherty is taking a stab at it.
Here is the conundrum: We don't use our brainpower to create new wealth. We have a highly educated population, generous tax incentives for research and development and lower corporate tax rates than any leading economic power. Yet our businesses remain reluctant to invest in new products and technologies (with a few honourable exceptions such as Research in Motion, Bombardier and Magna). They don't even capitalize on the exciting discoveries made in our universities and government laboratories.
This is a formula for minimal economic growth. We have an aging population and a fading manufacturing sector. We can no longer count on cheap energy or a ready American market for our exports.
Flaherty clearly gets it. He devoted a large portion of last week's federal budget to measures to encourage innovation, support young entrepreneurs and create the economy of tomorrow.
The trouble is, he is following the same course as his predecessors – Michael Wilson, Don Mazankowski, Paul Martin, John Manley and Ralph Goodale – cutting red tape, lowering corporate taxes, handing out research grants, putting money into higher education and subsidizing leading-edge science.
We've seen the result of these policies for 25 years. Business takes Ottawa's tax cuts, insisting it needs more to stay competitive. It hails each new innovation strategy (Achieving Excellence; Compete to Win; Advantage Canada – there are enough to fill a bookcase). But it doesn't respond.
Economists are starting to ask what's wrong. Canada ranked 14th in business spending on research and development – behind all the world's leading industrial powers and even smaller nations such as Belgium and Ireland – in the latest statistical roundup by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Universities and think-tanks are churning out papers highlighting Canada's "innovation gap."
Kevin Lynch, who served as Stephen Harper's top adviser from 2006 to 2009, has just written an article in Policy Options, an influential magazine, laying the blame squarely on corporate Canada. He argues that, unless business leaders do their part, it makes little sense to go on spending billions of dollars on research and development. "In an era of fiscal constraint, there has to be a compelling narrative to justify new public investments when other areas are being constrained," he says.
Flaherty appears to have gotten the message. He promised in last week's budget to conduct a "comprehensive review" of Ottawa's research incentives, in close consultation with business leaders and his provincial counterparts.
This pledge would have been more reassuring if he had set a timetable. But the government is still "developing the terms of reference for the review."
It would have carried more weight if he had mentioned it in his budget speech. But it was buried in a budget background document written by bureaucrats.
And it would have held more promise if Flaherty were reaching out to society's real creators and innovators. A panel of business magnates and government officials is extremely unlikely to recommend that Ottawa stop giving tax relief to companies that don't contribute to the country's future economic success. Nor is it likely to propose a radical policy shift that might ruffle corporate feathers or require risk-taking in Ottawa.
In Flaherty's defence, productivity is a hard sell.
The term either puts people to sleep or raises their hackles. Some don't see any immediate danger. Others don't trust business or government to act in the public interest.
Here is why we can't afford to tune out: Our standard of living is slipping. Our kids won't be able to earn a good living in a static economy. Our country won't thrive unless we raise our game.

AUSTIN (AP) - Supporters of casinos and expanded gambling in Texas say they're more united before the upcoming legislative session, but their proposals will still face long odds.
Texas has a state-run lottery and betting on horse and dog racing.
Gambling supporters argue that by not allowing casinos, Texas loses money to Oklahoma, Louisiana or elsewhere.
But Gov. Rick Perry and Republicans in the Legislature have previously opposed expanding gambling.
Miller says the ongoing school funding lawsuit could help if the Legislature is ordered to provide more education money.

Basic Seated Workouts Build Senior Toughness And Adaptability
Growing Older is a part of life and is something that will inevitably happen. But there are things you can do for yourself that can help ease the process of getting older. In the following article, you are going to be given advice on what you can do to embrace the growing older process.
If you are worried about aging then try to do things that will make you feel young again. Go to the mini golf course, or play a few games at the arcade. By doing those things which make you feel young you can actually help slow down the process of aging.
Developing good coping skills can improve the aging process. Finding the silver lining around the clouds in your life has been associated with a longer life. If you are not naturally an optimist, it's never too late to change. By focusing on the positive in your life, you can be positive you will age better.
If you feel your better years are behind you, try writing http://www.aetna.com/cpb/medical/data/200_299/0244.html down your thoughts. This can be done through a poem, blog, letter or journal. Writing gets your brain working, and you can express who you are or may even come up with new ideas. The best part is you will realize how much knowledge and wisdom you already have with which you can impart to others.
If you are feeling down because the thought of getting older has you in a funk, just Get More smile and laugh. You have the wisdom that those younger than you do not. Laugh and smile often, and occasionally cry, but laugh more. It's true that laughter is the best medicine because laughter releases your body's feel-good emotions called endorphins. Endorphins make you happy.
Avoid environmental extremes. Being out too long in the sun or in the cold can damage your skin. Damage can range anywhere from minor burns and chapping to skin cancer.
Stay active during the growing older process. Staying active helps your body, mind, and soul. It will help you to age gracefully. Many studies also show that remaining active can have a positive effect on your mental capacity, and may help to keep diseases like Alzheimer's at bay. Try to include activity as part of your daily routine.
The appearance of your skin is a key element to looking and feeling younger, so take care of your skin by using moisturizers. This will keep the skin hydrated and soft. Sometimes it will help to work with a professional dermatologist to determine the right type of lotion and moisturizer that is best for you.
Everyone says it is good to remain active in your old age. This is true. It is also true that this is the right time to step back and contemplate life. What was truly valuable? What was a waste of time? What would you advise your grandchildren to do?
If you want to live longer, take safety precautions! If you're in a car, wear a seat-belt. If you're riding a bike, wear a helmet. Don't take stupid risks that could end up costing you your life. Simple precautions like these can easily extend your life and keep you healthy for the rest of it.
There are 19 foods that are considered to be must have items in your refrigerator and pantry, and they will work wonders for your health and vitality as you age. Write these down and post it somewhere in your home to keep yourself reminded to stay stocked: seafood, dairy, spinach, nuts, olive oil, broccoli, oatmeal, flax seed meal, avocados, pomegranate juice, tomatoes, tofu, yogurt, red onions, garlic, beans and lentils! It may seem like a lot but it is the least you can do for yourself and the best results you can yield from your meal planning efforts!
One simple tip to take care of your eyes as they age is to apply a compress for five minutes, made of a washcloth wrung out in hot water. The compress will clear your eyes of "sleep" and other bacterial material that can contribute to eye infections and diseases as you age.
The most prevalent cause of hearing loss is getting older. Hearing loss is also insidious. It happens so gradually that a person may be hard of hearing without realizing it. If you have not had your hearing tested, you should have a hearing checkup at least by the age of 50.
When you wake up in the morning, find the newspaper and pull out the daily crossword puzzle. Keeping your mind active and sharp can improve your brain activity, which will combat the signs of aging mentally. Also, you will be able to stay alert and participate in conversations with friends and family.
As you age your skin can becomes more susceptible to the sun's harshness. Try to target activities that limit your exposure to direct sunlight. Wear a hat when walking or gardening, and before you go out in the sun, treat your skin liberally with a high SPF sunscreen to prevent UV damage.
In order to avoid the negative effects of aging, it is important that you do not smoke. Not only are cigarettes dangerous for your overall health, but it can also damage collagen and elastic in the skin, leaving it elastic. It also decreases your body's oxygen, which will create wrinkles.
To make sure that you do not let aging get the best of you, it is important that you stay in good shape. Your body is going to start experiencing more physical problems as you age if you are out of shape. This does not mean you have to do aerobics everyday--try taking a walk each day or take a job in your neighborhood.
Avoid smoking to prevent rapid aging. Tobacco smoke contains free radicals and other chemicals that can cause your body to slow its ability to repair damage, and it destroys your DNA. Overtime this constant exposure damages DNA to the point that it causes your skin to wrinkle and can make your body age very quickly.
In essence, growing old it's an honor and opportunity. To understand life a little longer. It means that change is inevitable and to cope with aging means being able to manage well with change. It can be rewarding and fulfilling to know that one has achieved an old age. Just relax and enjoy the view.

There are unconfirmed rumours that an entire group just left Pali Capital, the troubled boutique investment bank that is said to be on the verge of collapse.
Sources are hearing that the entire distressed debt team has left the firm. It couldn't immediately be determined where they have gone. But there are indications that they may have gone to the UK stock brokerage firm, Collins Stewart.
Earlier today it was revealed the Collins Stewart had poached Chuck Howard from Pali. Howard was in charge of junk bond trading for Pali. The debt group at Collins is very, very small. Like 10 people small. So it is suspected Howard may have brought his team along.
Pali, which has reputation as a strong derivatives trading firm and started its distressed debt desk about six or seven years ago, had been in talks with Braver Stern Securities Corp, a mortgage boutique affiliated with former Bear Stearns Chief Financial Officer Sam Molinaro. That deal fell apart at the end of last week.
We haven't been able to confirm which group left Pali, although it does appear that a mass defection has happened. Neither Pali or Collins responded to request for comment.

I was first drawn to this book by the beautiful cover. A story about Angels and Demons, how could I resist and I have to say that I was not disappointed in the least. Ms. Madison has a lovely flowing and lyrical way with her writing. The reader is first introduced to Madeline Noel during one of the Eden Theatre's final rehearsals, but immediately, you can sense something is wrong. Madeline is keeping a tight rein on her emotions and for good reason. She's a Choir, a magnificent angel created solely for the purpose of singing the most beautiful and haunting notes for heaven and earth alike. She's hiding in human form as war rages on in the Realm. Evil is hunting all of the Choirs and it doesn't take long for Corinth's evil minions to find Madeline. She is saved by her demon hunter Damascus. He wants her to flee, but Madeline doesn't want to abandon the production with only days before opening night.
The relationship the author creates between Madeline and Damascus is beautiful and heart-wrenching as they're forbidden to acknowledge feelings or their undying love for each other. Back and forth they wrestle with control and Ms. Madison is masterful in bringing their struggle to life. Throw in an over-worked production assistant, aka a new prophet, a truly evil demon and two more Angel Demon Hunters and the cast is full of equally interesting and deep characters. I couldn't put the book down, it was that compelling. I absolutely recommend this book and I can't wait for the next installment! Highly Recommended.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Madeline Noel fled war-torn Heaven to hide within the mortal world, but the blessing that could protect her from evil is the holy realm's forbidden power.
As a talented soprano for the Eden Theatre Company, Madeline hides among prima donnas and tone-deaf flutists. Her perfect voice may entertain audiences, but a careless laugh may shatter glass, and her greatest scream can kill. To control her unrestrained voice, the angels forbid Madeline from embracing the emotions that strengthen her song. Anger. Fear.
The demon-hunter Damascus vows to defend Madeline from Hell's relentless evil, but he cannot protect her from her own feelings. Though they deny their dangerous attraction, her guardian becomes her greatest temptation. Surrendering to desire may awaken the gift suppressed within Madeline's soul, and neither Heaven nor Hell will allow such absolute power to exist.
Gracie Madison would spend every day, all day writing…if it were socially acceptable. Ever since she was a little girl scribbling with a crayon, Gracie's dedicated herself to her books and all the supernatural and paranormal, creepy and beautiful stories and characters born within the pages. Now Gracie is committed to finally sharing those books with the world. When the laptop is pried from her hands, Gracie is probably working her day job, rooting on the Steelers, or out with her husband searching for Pittsburgh's best sushi.

Shalom, very welcome! On September 5th, 2017, the Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach, YHWH, Jesus Christ himself, brought on His message to His servant, Prophet Benjamin Cousijnsen.
Shalom! It is I, your Rabbouni, YHWH, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, El Elohím, Adonai.
Verily, beloveds, he who has an ear and a heart, let him hear what I have to say to you.
Verily, verily, I am who I am, and do not seal My heavenly prophecy. For these words have already been revealed, and are faithful and sanctified! In Heaven the Two Witnesses were already connected, and the seal has now been removed from this heavenly prophecy. And all angels rejoice!
Because on Sunday, September 3, 2017, the Two Witnesses, Prophetess Theresa and Prophet Benjamin, were married in a Jewish way.
Verily, I, Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ, stood on the sun with ten thousands times ten thousands of angels, watching this marriage on the Earth. And My presence and glory were strongly present.
Verily, be supportive of the Two Witnesses, and bless them and support them!
Blessed are you, and rejoice. I, Yeshua, ask your cooperation. No matter how much the Two Witnesses are hated and counteracted on the Earth, they belong to Me, and will fulfill the Biblical prophecy on the Earth and speak to you, Israel! Have respect for Prophetess Theresa and Prophet Benjamin. Say: "Hallelujah!" because the time is near.
Verily, whoever opposes My witnesses will be punished.
I am Kadosh! And from My throne, My power and My voice rise. Verily, don't look at what you see before your eyes! Think of the message from September 4, 2017. Have trust, and be a warrior and a pillar, a rock, a support to the Two Witnesses, for the greatest and most important mission ever on the Earth, for My glory!
Before everything will be Biblically fulfilled, they will reprimand many on the Earth.
They have the power to close the entrance of Heaven to the evil speakers and unbelievers, forever! They are My anointed ones, and sanctified in My holy name, your Rabbouni, YHWH, Jesus Christ, their and your King of kings. Whoever does not take My holy servants seriously, can join the one who will be left behind on the Earth. But whoever blesses and helps them has welcomed and blessed Me! Verily, this message is faithful. Rejoice like the angels in Heaven, and follow the messages in the Evangelicalendtimemachine.com!
John 3, verses 16 to 21 For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him. He who believes in him is not judged. He who doesn't believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light, and doesn't come to the light, lest his works would be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his works may be revealed, that they have been done in God.
I'm going now, My beloved, Ruacha, Yeshu, Shalom! spoke the Lord, Yeshua HaMashiach, Jesus Christ.
And also I say to you, Ruacha, Yeshu, Shalom!

Former Trinidad and Tobago international and Europe-based attacker Collin Samuel has joined the roster of North East Stars, where he will serve as player/coach.
But Russell believes the former Dundee United attacker, who also had stints with other Scottish clubs Falkirk, St Johnstone, Arbroath, East Fife and Sauchie, has a lot more to offer.
"It's just for him to get back his habit [on the field of play]," said Russell, a two-time Pro League winning coach at Defence Force.
"So far he (Samuel) is doing well in training and he is quite excited to return to playing.
"But one thing that's certain, he has a lot of experience to share with the players around him. He had already started doing it as assistant coach and being on the field of play can be another plus."
Samuel, who had a brief stint with Guaya United in the Super League in 2015, last competed professionally in Trinidad in 2002 with San Juan Jabloteh—the club he served for just under two seasons—before moving to Falkirk for the start of his international adventure which included stints at Toronto FC and England's Luton Town.
Russell, who plans to bolster his squad during the mid-season transfer window (January 29-February 26), explained, "We definitely have the quality [in players] but we lack numbers and the right attitude. What we have been trying to work on, is the discipline to work hard all the time."
North East Stars are winless in their last four Digicel Pro League games, including a 7-0 drubbing by W Connection in their last outing.
Russell's side sits fifth on the standings with 22 points and will welcome leaders Defence Force (32 points) from 3:30 p.m. on Sunday at the Larry Gomes Stadium.
However the league resumption, following the Carnival break, kicks off on Friday with a double-header at the Ato Boldon Stadium when Police FC face Club Sando from 6 p.m. and fourth-placed San Juan Jabloteh tackle third-placed W Connection from 8 p.m. at the Couva venue.
Other weekend match-ups includes Point Fortin Civic hosting St. Ann's Rangers from 5 p.m. at the Mahaica Oval on Saturday, and Morvant Caledonia United visiting defending league champions Central FC from 4 p.m. at the Ato Boldon Stadium on Sunday.
A win for W Connection on Friday will see coach Stuart Charles-Fevrier's side go level with Defence Force at the top of the regular league standings, prior to the Army/Coast Guard combination's face-off with North East Stars on Sunday.
Connection are unbeaten in their last 6 games with five wins and one draw, leading the way for the Round Two Akeem Adams Trophy with 16 points—two points ahead of rivals Central FC and four clear of Defence Force.
W Connection wants to extend league form into Concacaf Champions League qualifying
"The aim is to continue our good run," W Connection assistant coach Earl Jean said this week. "We have to keep focus. We have the Caribbean Club Championship coming up also, and we want to do well and qualify for the Concacaf Champions League again.
"This period is very crucial for us and it's also important to bring in one or two players in the transfer window to give the extra push."
Central FC and W Connection, last season's Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club champions and runners-up, respectively, will tackle Caribbean rivals later this month (February 24-28) in the preliminary round of the 2016 edition.
Central must travel to Jamaica in Group Three where they meet host club and last season's third place finishers, Montego Bay United, and Scholars International SC (Cayman Islands) at the Montego Bay Sports Complex, Montego Bay.
While fellow Pro League outfit and multiple-time former Caribbean champions, W Connection, will host Group One in Trinidad at the Ato Boldon Stadium where they will welcome Club Sportif Moulien (Guadeloupe), Inter Moengotapoe (Suriname) and Atletico San Cristobal (Dominican Republic).

Hello. I'm writing this article because I want to share with you the changes that turned my life around and hopefully it will help someone in need. My name is Arthur Carpenter and I live in Atlanta Georgia. I work as a teacher in elementary school and had been in that position for about 15 years now, I have a family, my wife Jane and my kids David and Homer. We had an ordinary American family, me and my wife working full time trying to provide education and food to our kids like most of married couples with children do, the first reason why I wanted to share my story to you was that I'm sure lots of you have the exact problem I had and the problem is that me and my wife grew bored with each other, sure we loved each other, but this constant routine was too tiresome for us, neither of us wanted a divorce but things were going that way, because of our work we were always occupied and had little or no time for each other. We were searching for ways to repair our relationship and get back to the old, loving relationship we had, some of our friends recommended family therapists, but we didn't like the idea, after that our friend Josh told us that travelling abroad might help us replenish our relationship, we liked the idea very much, besides we traveled a lot in our early relationship years, but eventually stopped because of kids. So the plan was set half way through, the next thing we had to think about was the destination of our travels and in this we wanted our kids to take part.
Me and Jane set down with our kids and told them that we were going on a little vacation and that they would have to stay with grandma. I thought that our kids would get upset hearing that they can't come with us, but it was the other way around, they knew what it meant for us to have some time on our own and they gladly agreed to let us go. When I asked David and Homer, where do they think we should go, Homer said that lately in school he found out that there was a country in Europe called Georgia and he would like us to go there and tell him about the country that has the same name as our state. We liked Homers proposition very much, because we wanted to go somewhere that was not formal and was not overcrowded with tourists, we wanted new experiences and thus we decided to go to Georgia, besides not only my son but also I was interested in the country that had the same name as our state.
We arrived in Georgia on July 10th in Kutaisi airport, prior to our travel we searched for some facts about Georgia, we didn't want to hire tourist companies to show us the country, we wanted to see it on our own and that is because we headed out to the sea resort Batumi, the city was great, little and beautiful, you wouldn't need a car to see everything there is to see in one day. After the sightseeing's we headed out to the sea, it was already getting dark and the waves were somewhat big, but not as big to scare my wife Jane, After all of the emotions we got from walking through Batumi I was too tired and didn't want to swim, but Jane is a big lover of the sea, so she jumped right in. I was thinking that if the next 6 days would be as interesting as this one was, Homer would have lots of stories to listen to.
As I was contemplating on the beach I heard my wife shouting my name, I jumped in the water as fast as I could and swam to Jane, she was feeling very bad, because she had cramps in both of her legs and she couldn't swim on her own, I told her to hold on tight to me and proceeded to swim out of the sea, we fought with the waves for about 5 minutes, but it was pretty exhausting to say the least, when we finally made it to the shore and laid on the sand we simultaneously burst out in laughter, at this point we both understood that our relationship was not going to die that easy and we had a chance to go back. It was the first day of us being in Georgia and we already had a story to tell not only to our children, but to our grandchildren too. In the next article I want to tell you about more adventures that happened to us while we were visiting Georgia, how we were saved by Georgians in the mountains and how we met a great singer Bera at the last day of our visit in Georgia.

Brand communication is an art that can be learnt. It is also a science which follows basic process. Gaining recognition or to be successful in this process may not come cheap. Being a brand communicator today requires a form of expertise and passion. The reason behind this assertion is obvious. If you are not an expert you will fail, if you're not passionate you will also fail. As we know, every brand needs to communicate so it can make right impact, promote positive response from target audience and finally to receive high payback among others.
But before we begin this, it will not be out of place to try and give layman opinion of what the term is. An easy to understand meaning I got online is 'brand communication is the art of bridging the gap between our target audience and the organization (or product or service) we are promoting'. It is a step towards or process of building strong communication between anl entity, and the audience its believes to be best suited to its ideas or services.
Brand communication happens in different platforms. Brand communication begins when stakeholders meet with the brand. This can happen through different avenues.
To be successful, actors must anticipate what will likely happen and proffer solution, think critically through the process. This will sometimes demand a reframing of what to say and not to say. In addition to this, there is a need for adequate interpretation of words, issues as it fits the audience perception. This must give rise to quality decision making process, creation and communication of issues to be discussed. As we do this, brand must constantly align values with every stakeholder.
To avoid and catastrophe in the brand communication process, we strongly believe adherence to the following will help in no small ways.
Setting of goals and agreeing on targets: Every communication process must begin with goal setting. Goal setting is a cardinal factor if brand will not miss its way in the jungle. First, set the communication goals and the chart the course. The communication goal must not only agrees with brand values but it must also agree or promote right feelings in the target audience.
Allocation of available resources: I am yet to see a communication strategy without the availability of right resources. Resource does not only mean finance. Other factors are included. As we know resources are not always in surplus. For this there must be right allocation of the resources that are available.
Communication delivery/result: In addition to the above, communication delivery process must now be in place. This is where tyre must hit the road. Brand eye must be fixed on measurable result. Communication action must not just be 'sitting on a rolling chair'. There will be no progress.
Monitoring and evaluation: How can we avoid catastrophe if we do not have monitoring and evaluation parameters? Nothing is free from failure except a guided action is taken to ensure the ship sails on a charted course. Brand communication must not be done haphazardly if we hope to be respected by the management and brand stakeholders.
Over to you, what is your opinion?

I use the Smiths as a vehicle here to mention both Morrissey and Johnny Marr who, when they were together made some of the best pop songs I've ever heard. Apart ie. solo, I haven't heard anything much that grabs me. Funny how you can love someone in a certain band and then they leave you flat solo or in a a new band. I would rate the Smiths as a 9/10 (on par with Radiohead) for wrist-slitting value but it's a whining you can just so easily soak up and take on. Somehow it just works. The Smiths have a sound all their own, led by Morrissey's unmistakeable voice, lyrics and delivery style. It's love or hate with the Moz I think. Johnny Marr plays the Brit pop sound so well from the clean, jangly sounds in "This charming man" to the shearing splendour of "How soon is now". There are sublime moments in a number of their songs like the chord and melody progression in "Last night I dreamt somebody loved me" and pretty much the entirety of "Ask". It's damn fine stuff.
Category Archives: Guitarists
Andy Partridge
XTC's singles really grabbed me – "Senses working overtime", Generals and Majors" etc. They were just really sharp, catchy and clever. I rediscovered XTC when I was older and had bought "Oranges & Lemons" and loved "Mayor of Simpleton". Great singer, guitarist and songwriter, Andy Partridge ticks all the boxes for me. Their last two albums, Apple Venus Vol 1 (1999) and Wasp Star (2000) are absolute crackers and I play them all the time.
David Gilmour
I realised when I was in my early teens and hearing Pink Floyd and David's guitar playing for the first time that this guy was very, very special. I've listened to many great guitarists in my time and have plenty of favourites but David absolutely takes the cake. Why? There are probably hundreds of guitarists out there in the world who could outplay David for speed or technique but I've never heard anyone play with the feeling he plays with or create the magical riffs that he comes up with. Everything he does is so damn tasty! I also love that David explored his guitar tone technically in a big way and created a unique sound to go with his unique playing style. David's also got a great voice and sang the vocals on many Pink Floyd hits like "Us and them", "Wish you were here" and "Money". In my opinion, the best note in guitar history – 4:11 in "Time".
