How To Do My Math Homework Without Wasting My Time
For many pupils, homework is the most annoying part of the day. They would rather do anything else instead of making boring math exercises. Besides, most of them procrastinate even without realizing. Therefore, the entire process takes twice as longer than it should. In this way, their homework is never completely good because they make it without focusing, and they waste the entire afternoon for a few exercises that can be completed in one hour. To avoid all of this, follow these tips:
- Make a schedule. Every single day you must make your homework at the same hour. In this way, you can manage your time and the rest of your activities around it and not postpone it until the evening when you are already tired. Write this program down and put it on your desk; do not allow yourself to change it or postpone the study.
- Allocate a certain time for your work. For many students, the fact that they have all the afternoon to finish is a disadvantage. This means that they have time to watch a movie or eat something before starting, which will lead to hours of procrastinating and postponing. If you have only a specific time available, you will be more motivated to put everything aside and struggle to finish. After that, you can take care of whatever else you want to do.
- Bring close to you all the instruments that you need. In math, you need to make calculus or to draw some figures for a geometry exercise. This means that you will get up from your desk every 20 minutes to search for the calculator or the geometry kit. Avoid this wasting of time by bringing everything to your desk from the beginning. Pen, calculator, books, any other material that you need, will be on your desk before you start working on your homework.
- Eliminate any distraction. If your friends keep calling or your sibling comes to tell you jokes every 10 minutes, it will be impossible for you to be efficient in your work. Put your phone on silent, turn off your computer and ask your family to not interrupt you in the next hours. It might seem strange in the beginning to be so concentrated on only one thing, but you will notice how efficient you can be when there are no distractions around. In this way, you will minimize the time you spend studying, but you will have better results.

Wildcat Truckers Strike Hits Port of Seattle – Hundreds Walk Off
update feb 13 demonstration slideshow:
article on feb 13 demo:
update: via king5.com thur feb 9
SEATTLE — The Port of Seattle says the strike by hundreds of truck drivers is having an impact and the movement looks like it keeps growing. The more than 100 drivers picketing outside the Union Pacific rail yard Thursday say they need to make more money and need to be safe doing it.
update Rally to Support the Truckers called for Monday Feb 13:
Seattle Port Trucker Strike Rally!Public Event · By Seattle Solidarity.
Monday, February 13, 2012.9:00am until 12:00pm.. E. Marginal Way and Hanford, under the viaduct
Over the last two weeks non-unionized short-haul truckers at the port have refused to work until they receive better treatment. For months they've been trying to build an association to fight back. These mostly immigrant workers face horrendous conditions on the ports – e…xtremely low pay, harassment from law enforcement and trucking companies, exorbitant fees charged by the companies that more than once have resulted in "negative" paychecks for the drivers.
Because of this they've stopped work, first at just one company, but it has since spread to many companies, slowing all traffic at the port. They've asked us to support them at a strike rally they'll hold on Monday. We'll be there with banners and flyers. Their situation is desperate, and it's extremely important we show solidarity, we're there to say "We support the Seattle truck drivers and their association."
Depending on how their actions go there may be future ways we can help out. People from Occupy have also organized a food drive for the truckers – who aren't making any money while they're out. Please feel free to bring some donations of non-perishable food, diapers, baby wipes and etc – for the striking truckers and their families
"SEATTLE — Hundreds of truck drivers at the Port of Seattle have walked off the job and lawmakers are deciding if they need to take action."
"Drivers at several trucking companies that haul containers between the port and intermodal rail yards are refusing loads because they charge the companies they contract with are paying them less than the market rate in the harbor area.
Harbor trucking companies normally negotiate a drayage rate with shipping lines or cargo interests. The general practice is for the trucking company to keep a percentage of the rate and then pass the rest on to the drivers. In this instance, drivers say some motor carriers are retaining a higher percentage of the drayage rate than is customary in Puget Sound."
"As many as 30 or 40 percent of the short-haul truckers who normally move containers from docks to railcar terminals at the Port of Seattle have stopped working.
The work stoppage comes after one of the drivers was retaliated against for attending a hearing in Olympia last week on a proposal to improve their working conditions.
They're independent contractors, who are predominantly immigrants, and say the conditions they're forced to contend with make the job unsafe.
Community groups are now rallying in their support."
"Waterfront truckers are typically classified as "independent contractors" and paid $40 to $44 per load. After spending money to insure and maintain their aging trucks, drivers average around $30,000 a year net income. They are not allowed to use restrooms at the port gates, and say they are sometimes called the N-word or animals.
"It looks like Alabama — this is in Seattle, West Seattle!" said Aynalem Moba, a leader in the new Seattle Port Truckers Association."
Driven by a broken economic system, port truck drivers in Seattle and Tacoma are robbed of basic protections afforded other types of workers in the United States and paid as little as $10 or $11 an hour. Low-wage port truck drivers are forced to carry the entire cost of owning and maintaining their own trucks and are often only able to afford to oldest and dirtiest trucks available. As a result, communities located near ports or along major truck routes are saturated by toxic, deadly diesel pollution.
The Coalition for Clean & Safe Ports is a local and national alliance of environmental activists, truck drivers, faith leaders, labor unions and community advocates fighting for environmental and economic justice at our nation's ports.
The Ports of Seattle and Tacoma sit 25 miles apart on Puget Sound. Together, they form the third largest container load center in North America, trailing only the Port of New York and New Jersey and the adjacent Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach.1
• The total value of the Port's maritime imports and exports annually exceeds $56 billion dollars.
• 70% of the goods arriving in Puget Sound ultimately end up in the Midwest; Puget Sound ports
principally serve as a transit point for goods moving from East Asia to Midwestern retailers.
• The Ports' principle imports are toys, cars, sports equipment, clothing and electronics.
• In 2009, the Ports moved roughly 1,700,000 containers.
The vast majority of cargo handled at the Ports is moved between the region's marine terminals, warehouses and rail yards by diesel trucks. Port officials counted 3,259 of these trucks serving the Port of Tacoma in 2010 and 1,416 serving one of Seattle's four terminals in 2008.5 6 After discounting for infrequent visitors and drivers that visit both ports, the Port of Tacoma and Seattle terminals are routinely served by an estimated 2,000-2,500 drivers.
• The most recent study of port drivers in Puget Sound was conducted in 2006, just before the
economic downturn. Even so, the survey found that the median income of drivers working at the Port
of Seattle was $28,500 per year.
• More than half reported working longer than the legal limit of 11 hours per day. The typical driver is married, in his forties, and has children. The misclassification of port truck drivers has allowed industry to shift the responsibility of the truck purchase and maintenance over to individual workers. These low-wage earners have purchased the only vehicles they can afford: old, dilapidated rigs. Unable to afford proper maintenance, these vehicles become more polluting and unsafe with every passing year.
• An estimated 95% of the nation's 110,000 port trucks fail to meet current U.S. EPA emission
standards, increasing diesel pollution by one thousand percent.
• In the immediate port-adjacent neighborhoods of South Park and Georgetown, the EPA has found
that cancer risk is 27 times higher than the national average.10 Dioxin from diesel burning trucks is reported to be one of the principle culprits.
• Similarly, the concentration of fine particulate matter – one of the principle pollutes emitted by diesel trucks – in Georgetown appears to be the highest in the region. Because of the high concentrations of particulates, residents are at elevated risk for asthma, cancer, heart disease, and other life threatening diseases.

It is one thing to want to move the best teachers to the highest-need schools, but it's another thing altogether to get those teachers to do so. Rightly or wrongly, teachers want to be placed in schools where a high proportion of students care about learning, and come from homes and neighborhoods that instill a fierce drive to be educated. No matter how great the need or how historically rooted the cause, it is dispiriting to try to teach young people who do not want to be there.
Moreover, teachers believe that once they have endured the trial-by-fire boot camp of working in a "high-needs school" –- code word for a school where the educational buy-in from students, parents and the surrounding community is weak, and/or where there is a high concentration of "special needs" students -- they have earned the right to teach in the most respected and coveted public schools, where the buy-in is strong and the overall competency is high. I saw this when I worked as an educator in New York City. Stuyvesant High School, the Bronx High School of Science, Brooklyn Tech? Plum jobs. Public schools in the South Bronx, Brownsville, and East New York? Not so plum.
So, before we take the draconian measure of forcing great teachers to teach where many do not want to teach, let us consider other solutions (some of which are broadly echoed in The Center for American Progress (CAP) report referenced in my previous post, "Students In Poor And Minority School Districts Are Less Likely To Be Taught By Highly Effective Teachers").
First, pay the best teachers a dramatically increased salary to take the most difficult assignments, including teaching in schools with a high percentage of special needs students or where the learning culture is weak. Moreover, create an empirically verifiable ranking system in each city, so that we can properly determine what are the most difficult schools, and adjust teacher pay and other incentives accordingly.
Secondly, take steps to elevate the status of the teaching profession by tightening up the quality and admissions standards at teachers colleges, while moving all teachers colleges inside our most elite colleges and universities. As Amanda Ripley, author of The Smartest Kids in the World and How They Got Way, noted at the recent Education Innovation Summit in Scottsdale, Finland instituted precisely these reforms to great effect. Finnish students routinely score at the top in international tests of math and literacy, while being asked to do far less homework than their American peers. These high results are consistent across racial, ethnic, religious and economic categories within the country.
The key, notes Ripley, is that you have to have very good grades to be admitted into Finnish teacher colleges. Only applicants from the top 10-20% of their graduating class are routinely admitted, as opposed to the egregiously low standards for admission in the U.S. (where most teachers colleges draw from the bottom third of the graduating class). As Ripley told CNN's Fareed Zakaria, being inside a great university enables teachers to learn "the higher order thinking skills" necessary to become highly effective in the classroom. Moreover, students, parents, and politicians pick up on these higher standard "signals," which in turn changes the cultural expectations around education (the key component, as a recent Economist study confirmed, in any education reform effort).
Thirdly, give each new teacher a volunteer mentor (ideally chosen from the ranks of retired teachers), who observes the novice teacher for their first full year of teaching and engages in free and open two-way dialogue about best practices in the classroom. These mentors should not be monitors tied to high-stakes teacher evaluation, but, rather, coaches helping novice teachers navigate a range of teaching situations. We apply the apprentice-master model in other skilled trades. Why not in education?
Finally, we need to urgently work on ways to instill a fierce educational culture in all schools, starting with public policy sticks that bite, including No Pass, No Drive statues that I discussed in my Forbes post, "No Pass, No Drive: Effective Answer to Dropout Epidemic?" After all, if we want to genuinely change the culture of learning and get the best teachers to the most underserved communities, then the communities themselves – and the students and parents in them – must up their game too.
With these reforms, we will start to see a more equitable distribution of quality teachers across all school districts in the nation, as the quality of those seeking to learn matches those wanting to teach them.
What do you think works in improving poor and minority student access to highly effective teachers? Let me know in the Comments area below.

[Update: Some offers mentioned below have expired. For current terms and conditions, please see card agreements.]
My last commercial flight was a huge disappointment. Check in and security screening took forever, what little food that was served was terrible, and I could barely get out of my seat when the person in front of me reclined his. Yet I wasn't stuck in economy class, I had actually redeemed my frequent flier miles for a domestic flight in first class.
As a pilot myself, I know that the only way to avoid these problems is to travel on a private aircraft. Jets that seat six to ten passengers utilize private terminals at secondary airports, and travelers are never subjected to check in lines or TSA screenings.
Sadly, chartering a jet will cost thousands of dollars per person and is out of consideration for most non-millionaires. Nevertheless, I was struck by one aspect of the new Dynamics ePlate rewards credit card offered by UMB Bank. Cardholders can earn a seat on a private jet flight by spending a mere $1,250 on their card. To be clear, the flight does not cost $1,250 (which would still be a good deal), it is an award received once cardholders spend that amount on any of their purchases.
Is This Too Good To Be True?
The saying goes, "If something seems too good to be true, it probably is." Fortunately, the key word here is "probably" as there are still many ways to earn stunning rewards from credit card use. So I contacted Mike Azzarello, President of JetLimo, the company that the Dynamics ePlate card uses to award flights. Azzarello explained that JetLimo acts as a broker of unsold seats on existing flights offered by other charter companies. It also employs scientists to create sophisticated computer programs in order maximize the revenue of the available seats it sells on chartered flights. Furthermore, it offers free seats to cancer patients who need to travel for treatment as part of the Corporate Angel Network.
Of course, no amount of computer wizardry can reduce the cost of operating a multi-million dollar private jet to pennies on the dollar. Essentially, JetLimo is offering otherwise empty seats on existing flights in the hopes of growing its business by word of mouth. At this time, their business is just getting up and running, and most flights are originating on the west coast, with their most popular route being between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Customers put in a request for an open seat, and are then notified when a flight becomes available. At some point, JetLimo and ePlate will have to offer this service for a price that more closely resembles its value, but Azzarello stressed that this is not a limited time offer and users of the Dynamics ePlate card are free to accumulate as many award credits as they can.
ePlate's Rewards Technology
Other than this innovative reward opportunity, UMB Bank offers the Dynamics ePlate reward cards with several unique technologies. Dynamics is a technology company that has created a credit card with the world's first fully programmable magnetic stripe. Cardholders can then use buttons on the card to choose the reward they want before swiping it, and the card even lights up when used. The Dynamics ePlate card offers dozens of other reward options in addition to the JetLimo program. These include vouchers for airline tickets at 1.35 cents per dollar spent and cash back at 1.25 cents per dollar spent.
It is unclear how selecting rewards before making a purchase offers any advantage over earning points that can later be redeemed for many different awards. Technology aside, any credit card that can offer customers the chance to fly in a private jet after spending just $1,250 is a product that is worth watching.

Many individuals believe that after filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy they are in no position to get a home loan. However, there are lenders that specialize in helping bankruptcy filers get a home loan, refinance an existing mortgage, or complete a cash out refinance. Here are 5 steps you can take in order to position yourself to achieve your mortgage goals.
1. Organize Your Finances
a. Get an In-Depth Credit Review
When you are looking to buy a house after bankruptcy, some companies will provide you with a 3-in-1 credit review. This way you can see if there are any factors that are positively or negatively impacting your credit.
b. Establish a Monthly Budget
Make sure that every dollar you earn has its place. Your income needs to go towards paying your bills and bankruptcy plan payments first. Take advantage of free online budget tools like Mint to help you create monthly budgets.
c. Begin to Rebuild Your Credit
Find a trusted company that provides secured credit cards. This form of payment can help you rebuild your credit score, by allowing you to pay off your monthly purchases regularly. Click here to see some trusted secured credit card providers.
2. Grow Your Savings Account
a. Set a Monthly Amount Aside For Savings
After you have paid your fixed monthly bills, see how much you can put aside in your savings account each month. Whether its $5 or $500 any amount you can save after your fixed monthly expenses is a step in the right direction. Building your savings account is a crucial step that can help you buy a house after bankruptcy.
b. Establish a Goal for Your Down Payment and Reserves
Now that you know how much you can save each month it is time to determine a goal for your down payment. In order to see how much you need to save reach out to a Mortgage Consultant. They will be able to go over the different home loan programs you qualify for, and tell you how much your down payment and reserve requirements will be. Some loan programs have little or no down payment requirements.
3. Budget for Owning a Home
a. Calculate Monthly Payments Based on Your Income
Your monthly home expenses are not just your mortgage payments. You need to budget for homeowners insurance, regular home maintenance, and appliance repairs. Nothing in house will last forever without proper maintenance, so its best to set money aside for when those expenses arise.
b. Get an Inspection for Your Current Home and New Home
When you are looking to buy a house after bankruptcy it is important to hire an inspector to provide a detailed report of the home you are seeking to purchase. It is also helpful to have an inspection of your current home in case there are any issues that will require attention before you sell your current home.
c. Account For Closing Costs & Expenses
When purchasing a home after bankruptcy its important to have some cash set aside for any improvements or fees that you feel are necessary. Closing costs and attorney fees are two examples of expenditures that you will need to account for. Also, see if your new home is going to require a special type of flood or earthquake insurance.
4. Collect Required Paperwork
You will need to make sure that you have all of your documents in a central location so it is easy to share them with the required parties.
a. Bankruptcy Discharge Documents (bankruptcy petition, marriage/divorce records)
After filing for bankruptcy you already understand the intense process of collecting the necessary documents such as pay stubs, tax returns, asset lists, etc. While the process of buying a house after bankruptcy isn't as detailed, you still will need to provide some financial documentation to your home loan provider. Below are a few items that will most likely be requested by your mortgage company.
- Tax Records
- W2's
- Insurance Information
- Proof of Additional Income
- Pay Stubs
- Medical Bill Records
5. Research Mortgage After Bankruptcy Companies
a. Select Your Home Loan Program
Connect with a Mortgage Consultant. He or she will be able to provide you with an in depth consultation where you can share you mortgage goals.
b. Account for Closing Costs & Other Expenses
During the buying and selling process of a home after bankruptcy you will incur fees for appraisals, escrow, title change, and inspections. Make sure that you properly account for these fees during the process, or include them into your home loan. (Read more about getting a mortgage after bankruptcy)

A very common garden plant that you can find in numerous gardens around the world, the Carnation makes a great addition to any flower bed and is highly recommended by expert gardeners as a great beginner plant that doesn't require any excessive maintenance or growing procedures. Carnations are a reasonably hardy plant that can grow well in a number of different soil types and aren't particularly fussy about the pH of the soil compared with a number of other plants.
This adds value to the carnation particularly for gardeners who don't have large amounts of time to dedicate to gardening on a daily basis and want a garden that they can enjoy in the evening without it becoming a second job. The best way to plant carnations is to ensure that they have between 6 and 12 inches of space between them so that they have space to grow and flourish and for best results should be plants in either the spring or in autumn depending on the average temperatures during your winter or summer. If thinking about which plants you want in your own flower bed then the carnation is a classic flower.

A SIZE 22 woman who was spending £70 a week on takeaways has shed an incredible nine stone.
At her heaviest, Susan Mackay, 49, tipped the scales at 19st 10Ibs after her weight spiralled out of control when her and husband Colin, 54, got married.
Susan from Gorebridge, Midlothian, spent £70 a week on takeaways and eating out because she did not have the motivation to make home-cooked meals.
The turning point came when Susan was forced to take off her wedding ring because her fingers got so big.
She has shed a remarkable 9st 10Ibs, slimming down to 10st in just 17 months and is now a slender UK size eight.
Susan said: "It all started after I got married.
"We were going out for meals and we would get sweets and the weight just kept piling on.
"I would eat a lot of takeaways, a Chinese and a chippy - I used to love a kebab, chips and cheese.
"I kept saying to my husband that I had put so much weight on and he kept saying I shouldn't worry because I could lose it.
"It went on for so long to the stage that my health was so bad. I was constantly out of breath and I was feeling down all the time.
"I had to remove my wedding ring because my fingers were too big.
"It wasn't a nice feeling. I had to go out and buy a cheap wedding ring just so it could do me."
"We would eat out two times a week and have takeaways for the other days.
"I would only cook once a week and that was a ready-made meal."
In 2017 step mum Susan dislocated her knee and her weight was putting increasing pressure on the joint, making it difficult for her to walk.
The accident spurred on her weight loss, inspiring her to take up a mixture of Scottish Slimmer and Weight Watcher classes to help her lose weight.
Susan said: "I wanted to get an operation to fix my knee and the doctor had said to me that my weight gain was the thing making the pain worse.
"I couldn't do any shopping without being in pain. I was going about with a dislocated knee."
Susan, who took up swimming as part of her weight loss journey, eventually had a knee operation two months ago.
But her wedding ring still doesn't fit Susan, as her staggering weight loss has left it falling off her slim fingers.
Susan said: "She said: "I feel amazing, I just love buying clothes now.
"I just feel like I am getting back to my old self, I'm a brand new woman.
"My husband has been very supportive and my family has been amazing."
Diet before:
- Breakfast - Coco pops with milk
- Lunch - BLT sandwich, a Yorkie chocolate bar and Walkers salt and vinegar crisps)
- Dinner - Kebab, chips and cheese
- Snacks - Sweets and chocolate
Diet now:
- Breakfast - Oats porridge with apples or raspberries
- Lunch - Prawn salad and sweet chilli sauce
- Dinner - Chicken and a few wedges
- Snacks - Fruit

General Motor representatives have said on different occasions GM could have a 200-mile range battery electric car as soon as 2016, but have been short on details beyond that.
Yesterday it was reported LG Chem says it will be able to supply a 200-mile-range EV battery by 2016, said at least one automaker will get it, but did not say which one(s) will.
General Motors uses LG Chem cells for its Chevy Volt, Cadillac ELR, and exported Volt/Ampera siblings.
The connection is obvious, and seems intuitive enough that GM is in line to get the Korean battery company's next battery, but questions remain.
LG Chem also happens to supply batteries to other automakers, including Ford, Hyundai, Kia, Volvo, and Renault. Could one or more of these get the LG Chem battery, and GM not get it?
If somehow GM is not the one to get it, where will its next battery come from?
Will it also add this potentially more energy dense battery into the next Volt, or other plug-in extended-range cars?
GM has shown itself a bit reserved in pushing the EV agenda, but to skeptics, it has said not to count it out. It has also tasked a team of watchers to track Tesla which also is planning a 200-mile car maybe by 2016 or 2017, and has said Tesla will not leave it behind when the EV race heats up later.
To be clear also, a "200-mile-range" battery is possible today with existing technology, just look at Tesla Model S or Roadster if you want proof of that.
What's not being spelled out is what is the specific chemistry, packaging, and energy density that may be represented by this headline-grabbing 200-mile range LG Chem battery in the works.
Other times that GM has suggested Tesla will not leave it in the dust include March 2013 when former CEO Dan Akerson told a Houston conference as much, and September 2013 when GM's Vice President of Global Product Development Doug Parks did also.

Book stores struggle as online sales rise
Fierce debate has swept across Australia's book publishing and retailing industry today following news thousands of jobs may be lost now that the company controlling Angus and Robertson and Borders book stores has announced it's going into receivership.
HEATHER EWART, PRESENTER: Fierce debate swept across Australia's book publishing and retailing industry today following news that up to 2,500 jobs may be lost now the company controlling Angus and Robertson and Borders book stores has announced it's gone into receivership.
As it handed over its operations to administrators, the REDgroup book retailing chain blamed Federal Government policies for contributing to its collapse.
Namely, both the loophole that allows consumers to purchase books online from overseas ,without paying GST, and trade protections for local publishers which have books in Australia more expensive than they are overseas.
It's an argument the Government rejects, as Greg Hoy reports.
GREG HOY, REPORTER: Closing Down Sale. Under pressure on several fronts Zabriski's bookstore in Sydney's Bondi is selling out to shut down as soon as possible.
NIKKI ZABRISKI, ZABRISKI'S BOOKS, BONDI: Well it's a combination of on-line sales, the strong Aussie dollar, e-readers and also heavy discounting by chains. That's actually been a huge factor for us.
GREG HOY: But a similar story is also told amongst some of the bigger book chains, with the announcement overnight that the company controlling 26 Borders stores across Australia and 123 Angus and Robertson bookstores, has gone into voluntary administration.
Leaving 2,500 employees, in fear of losing their employment, to deal with angry customers presenting gift vouchers, only to learn they must spend double the amount on the voucher to redeem its entitlement.
MALE BORDERS SHOPPER: And as I just said to one of the employees, I hope they treat them better than they're treating their customers.
FEMALE BORDERS SHOPPER: And she said 'well I could be out of a job tomorrow.'
BOB CARR, DIRECTOR, DYMOCKS AUSTRALIA: You're going to see more closures of bookshops. Even without yesterday's announcement there'd been a contraction in the number of bookshops in Australia.
That is a loss of jobs and a loss of small business activity in book retailing. And that will accelerate.
GREG HOY: Now a director of the large Dymocks book chain, the former New South Wales premier, Bob Carr, has long led The Coalition For Cheaper Books, which objects to the Federal Government's 2009 decision to maintain trade barriers against cheaper imported books, for fear of losing local manufacturing jobs and a loss of royalties for local writers.
BOB CARR: Keeping prices of books artificially high steers Australian customers elsewhere, or they simply don't buy books altogether. That is hurting jobs in retail. And there are more jobs vulnerable in retail than in manufacturing.
BILL SHORTEN, FINANCIAL SERVICES MINISTER: The collapse of Borders and Angus and Roberts, the fact that it's gone into voluntary administration, has been a decision made by the management and directors of that company.
I don't think there's any one, single cause for the collapse of this book company.
First of all, I wouldn't write off the company restructuring and going forward in a new form.
Secondly, technology has had a giant impact on the book industry and it's catching up with the book industry.
GREY HOY: But in a long and bitter campaign, Australian publishers, and authors, have convinced the Government to retain import restrictions on books printed off-shore.
RICHARD FLANNAGAN, AUTHOR: If you're looking at the people who are pushing for this change, the call themselves, in a very dissembling fashion, The Coalition For Cheaper Books. But they are the Coalition For Bigger Business; it's Dymocks, Coles and Woolworths.
BOB CARR: We've just seen an announcement that dooms 2.500 jobs in book retail because the Government rules stop Australian bookshops from bringing in cheap books from overseas.
Now, is that something that Richard Flannagan is happy with? Does he think it's a gain for Australian culture that you have hundreds of Australian bookshops go under?
GREG HOY: In a parting protest letter to the Federal Government, the chairman of the REDgroup retailer claimed that it was Government policies that hurt his retailers, who were forced, through import restrictions, to pay higher prices for locally produced books available at lower prices overseas.
A matter made worse, he said, by the fact that online purchases from overseas retailers remain GST exempt.
BILL SHORTEN: Look, the chairman of a company, on the day that they decide to go into voluntary administration, writes to the Government and says 'it's your fault.' Well, look the timing's probably not coincidental.
What I happen to believe here is, if you're going to run a book company in Australia, and you've got problems, it's too easy just to blame Government for everything that goes wrong.
GREG HOY: Other independent retailers also believe the failed Borders, Angus and Robertson group faced problems of its own making.
JULIE TRACE, BOOKTALK CAFE, MELBOURNE: I've got four ladies that work on my bookselling team. They know their books, they love their books, they're passionate about them. They find it a challenge to find a book for someone.
GREG HOY: Opinion remains strongly divided on the industry's future, with a Government convened, Book Industry Strategy Group, to meet in December and another Productivity Commission inquiry now underway into retailing and the online environment.
BOB CARR: We've got to reject this ridiculous argument that Australian literature, and its future, depends on forcing Australians to buy books one-third more expensive than they should be.
BILL SHORTEN: I think that corporations do, from time to time, need to be restructured. But the retail sector in Australia has fundamentally got a bright future.
That's why our Government's the first one since Federation to create a Productivity Commission Study - what is retail going to look like in the next 20 years?
GREG HOY: But if the Government accepts or rejects that advice is another question again.

At Dell EMC World, while new product was announced for both the Unity and SC lines, the most important thing the company did in the midrange was publicly affirm its continued support for both lines.
LAS VEGAS – When Dell and EMC came together as Dell EMC last year, the companies emphasized that for two companies with a lot of products, there was relatively little head to head competition between them. One area where that was clearly not the case, however, was in midrange storage, where both companies had a strong legacy line. With Dell it was the SC series, formerly Compellent. With EMC it was the Unity series, as the former VNXe family had been rebranded in its upgrade last year.
"In this space, we clearly have two products, and the most important thing we had to do at this show is recommit to two products in the midrange space," said Brian Henderson, Director, Midrange Product Marketing at Dell EMC. "We had to show the market that both these product lines have a place, and that we are committed to both of them."
Henderson said that the company's positioning of the two lines is akin to saying the one is like an iPhone, and one is like an Android and both have a place.
"Unity's positioning is that it is extremely simple," he said. "It is easy to install, easy to manage, and easy to support. That's its whole design centre. It is designed for the person who is not a storage pro."
"With the SC line, everything that it does is designed to lower costs automatically," Henderson said. "SC also tends to be more of a hybrid – a mix of flask and disk, while Unity is more all-flash. 70 per cent of our all flash revenue in the mid-range is Unity, while only 30 per cent is SC, and that also reflects the fact that not everyone can afford even the entry price for all-flash in the mid to lower end of the market."
Four new Dell EMC Unity All-Flash platforms were introduced at the event – the 350F, 450F, 550F and 650F.
"These models will get you 40 per cent more cores, and double the memory of their predecessors," Henderson said. "There is also a new file system which is four times larger than before, inline file compression, and a very dense enclosure, where you have 80 drives in a 3U rack unit space." They also feature iCDM with snapshot mobility and support for external encryption key management with Key Management Interoperability Protocol.
"There is also a simpler mapped RAID implementation which is an upgrade for existing customers," he stated. "It makes it easy to add a single drive. You used to have to add a set. When it's a large flash drive, that's a big deal."
Henderson had just been at a session with top channel partner Presidio, who said that they had been most impressed by the new inline compression as well as a new dynamic sparing feature.
"Partners also liked that we have made this super, super simple," he said. "We had a beta customer who installed this, rack and stack, in 10 minutes."
Henderson also indicated that notwithstanding the ruling in federal court three weeks ago, Dell EMC's interpretation is that providing they use Dell EMC in front of Unity, they have a right to use the name. So they will do so going forward.
On the SC side, Dell EMC unveiled the SC5020, a replacement for its SC4020 array.
"The SC is affordable hybrid flash," said David Goulden, Dell EMC's President, "Compared to the 4020, it has twice the capacity [at 2 PB] and more than 50 per cent more IOPs. It costs less than 10 cents per GB."
The SC5020 has 3x the bandwidth in a new 3U format featuring 30 internal drive bays, dual controllers, plus FC, iSCSI and direct-attach SAS connectivity.

Why a T-Mobile Deal Could Happen Soon
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Investors have been waiting for T-Mobile to merge or get bought for years. AT&T tried to buy the company in 2011 only to be rebuffed by the Obama administration, which was worried that a combination would lower competition.
Since then, T-Mobile has become a force on its own, adding subscribers while rivals struggle. But there's still reason to think that the company could be bought. And it could happen soon.
The big players in telecom haven't been able to talk to each other for most of the past year, as the government conducted an auction to sell a big chunk of airwaves, better known as spectrum. (T-Mobile bought $7.99 billion worth of spectrum in the auction.)
Sign up for the Barron's Next daily newsletter.
A "quiet period" imposed by the government ended last week, and now it could be deal time. "While many combinations are possible, we expect T-Mobile U.S. to be the 'prettiest belle at the ball," analysts for Gabelli & Company wrote to clients on Monday.
The firm says potential suitors include wireless rival Sprint, cable companies Comcast and Charter, and satellite TV firm Dish Network. A combination of Sprint and T-Mobile would give the companies greater scale, which could help keep profits strong, even as the industry lowers prices to entice subscribers. Dish owns a lot of its own spectrum, which would strengthen T-Mobile's network. Meanwhile, Comcast and Charter are focused on "fixed" broadband services. A mobile network would help either company future-proof its business.
Gabelli thinks T-Mobile should fetch $77 in a deal, 13% above its recent price of $68.11.
Big Picture: With a government auction for spectrum -- i.e. airwaves -- now complete, it could be deal time for T-Mobile.

We see lots of great Bugeye custom plates. Many are marque related, such as AN5, Frogi, Frogey, frogari, bugeye, buggy, bugi and the like. Then there are the more personal plates, such as the one above.
Remember Dimitri, the singing Bugeye Driver? (Check out a video about him by clicking here). This is his new personalized license plate. An Elixir is defined as "a magical or medicinal potion guaranteed to induce love." Thus, his plate is pure perfection to me, as it beautifully defines what moves me each time I drive (or look at) a Bugeye Sprite.
But what makes his plate even cooler is that Dimitri has been singing in the opera titled, "L'Elisir d'Amore," (elixir of love) for several years now. If you missed his prior post, he has been signing and pushing a mock bugeye around stage for dozens of performances, and now here is his very own magical car that actually drives (most of the time). That makes for one really cool license plate!
Bravo Dimitri!
Send us pix of your Bugeye plates, and we'll post them here!

Ex-Chief Ryan holds Spokane in special place
Mon., Oct. 29, 2012
Derek Ryan – on a clock that runs nine hours ahead of Spokane – is technically living in the future. But he thinks about the past – his hometown and all that happened to and for him here – on a daily basis. The Shadle Park graduate was the original Tyler Johnson, if you will. A home-grown hockey player who Spokane Chiefs general manager Tim Speltz made sure was staying home while he played out his Western Hockey League career. A home-grown hockey player who gave fans even more of a reason to back the team in the years it struggled. "The opportunity to play in Spokane is something I wouldn't trade for the world," Ryan said via telephone from his current home in Austria, where the 25-year-old is playing professional hockey. "I got to be a hometown hero, if you will, for the majority of my career," he added. "I got to live with mom and dad while I played – and that's pretty rare – and they got to come to every home game. I mean, the list of things I loved goes on." So does the list of accomplishments. Ryan played for Spokane from 2003-2007, mostly during a time when the Chiefs were in the cellar, standings- wise. Still, he was the Western Conference Rookie of the Year in 2004 and became one of five Chiefs in club history to lead Spokane in scoring in two separate seasons – highlighted by a record two goals in 16 seconds in a 2006 game against Prince George. Instead of grinding it out in the lower pro ranks in the U.S., Ryan opted to take advantage of his WHL scholarship, which pays a year of tuition and books for each year spent in the league. He headed to Canada, where he could study to become a pharmacist while playing hockey for the University of Alberta. His first year was a rollercoaster of emotions, with one of the highest highs in his life, and without a doubt, the lowest low. He won the University Cup with the Golden Bears that year – that was for sure the highlight. That took the sting off a little when south of Ryan – and back in Spokane – the Chiefs got to celebrate winning the WHL's Ed Chynoweth Cup and the Memorial Cup. "It was pretty crazy, because when I played in Spokane we were never a big threat to win," Ryan said. "It hurt a bit – I mean, we were the worst team in the league two years before that. But at the same time, to know I played with those guys – like Drayson Bowman was on my line for two years, and he's been quite the star, even now in the AHL and NHL – that I had a lot of pride in. I helped lead some of those guys. And, you know, I'll be honest – it probably would have hurt a lot more if we hadn't won the Canadian college national championship." But one event offered perspective on the trophy that got away, hockey, and life in general. His mom – with no indication of any problem – died very young and very suddenly while Ryan was away at school in 2008. "I look back on that every day," he said. "Again, I was so lucky to play in Spokane and have mom be at all my games. Even when I went to the U of A, I might have gone out east, but I didn't. I wanted to be closer, and they were able to come up a few times that year. I consider myself blessed for that time." He also considers himself blessed to have his high school sweetheart and wife Bonnie by his side now that he's in his sophomore year as a European pro, playing on a team with former Chief Michael Grabner in Austria (VSV) while Grabner awaits the end of the NHL lockout. "I'll be very well traveled by the time I'm done," said Ryan. "I came over here at first with low expectations and was just doing it for the experience. But we're seeing Europe and have made a little bit of money. "As long as I have success over here, I'll keep coming back." And if not – he knows he can always come home again, back to where it all began.

This past weekend I made it to my old hometown and was able to spend a great time with family and friends. I was also able to bring a 6 pack of my Black Jack Pershing to my brother-in-law who helped me brew it.
This is an interesting beer. I'd never used Mt. Hood hops before and I don't know if it was my addition choice or what but I will say this: this beer is bitter and will punch you in the face even when you're ready for it. I actually would say this is more bitter than my all Columbus hop beer, Silver Bullet IPA.
Overall, I really like this beer/cider. It is delicious, has a very complex flavor and is hard to describe but goes down pretty easy.
I told my brother-in-law (henceforth Mr. Bourbon) it reminded me of a sour apple. He agreed, it has an odd flavor profile like an ESB but then suddenly there is a mouthful of apple flavor and it seems like a granny smith. Mr. Bourbon is not on a gluten free diet but loved the beer so I take that as a sign that yes, this one like many other gf beers, is a legit contender.
If you are interested in something that is bitter but apple-ly, I'd recommend you make this brew!

HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT)-- Hundreds of people waving signs, on motorcycles and cheering at the airport helped welcome 30 wounded warriors to the Rocket City Wednesday afternoon.
Each November, Semper Fi Community Task Force hosts Heroes Week.
The group arrived at Huntsville International Airport lobby that was momentarily turned into a cheering, red, white and blue mob. The veterans were then given a police escort ride followed by hundreds of motorcycles to their hotel at The Westin.
The community is home to Lance Corporal Kendall Bane. He was wounded in Afghanistan last year.
"I was wounded, brought back here," said L CPL Bane. "It's amazing. I wasn't going to miss the opportunity. They've obviously worked very hard on this. Our itinerary is filled to the brim."
L CPL Bane was shot in Afghanistan in 2012. He's battled back through 14 surgeries.
Board members with the Semper Fi Task Force say often these warriors and their families do not receive the welcome home that so many of our military are given after returning home. These American heroes were in hospitals, recovering from injuries received in the line of duty while their units completed the deployment and returned to a heroes' welcome.
Events for the week include a Veterans Day breakfast and parade, Marine Corps Ball, fishing tournaments, parade and school visits.
This year marks the 7th annual Heroes Week.
