text: Before running against billionaire real estate mogul Donald Trump for the presidency, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told an audience at a private, paid speech she wanted to see more successful businessmen and women run for office because they can't be bought.In a speech made public by Wikileaks — which released an email from Hillary for America Research Director Tony Carrk containing three attached speeches given at private Goldman Sachs events — Clinton spoke and took audience questions at the "Builders and Innovators Summit" hosted by Goldman Sachs on October 29, 2013. Calling her "Madame President," a male attendee asked Clinton: "My question is, as entrepreneurs, we risk a lot. And Mike Bloomberg had 30 billion other reasons than to take office. Do we need a wholesale change in Washington that has more to do with people that don't need the job than have the job?" "That's a really interesting question," Clinton replied. "You know, I would like to see more successful business people run for office. I really would like to see that because I do think, you know, you don't have to have $30 billion, but you have a certain level of freedom. And there's that memorable phrase from a former member of the Senate: 'You can be maybe rented but never bought.' And I think it's important to have people with those experiences." Hillary committed the ultimate jinx on herself America, because she wished for a person like Donald Trump to run for president...Thing is that wish has majorly backfired. She simply asked for a person who couldn't be bought, but she got Donald Trump a man who knows the dark secrets of Washington and the Clinton's...Because well a a business person in real estate in New York, Trump had to well deal with Hillary when she was a New York Senator. Hillary probably wasn't thinking that her dream would become her darkest reality, since Trump had to work with her to push his real estate construction projects in New York from 2001 to 2009...So Trump likely gathered intel on Hillary while working with her for eight years since she was a New York senator during those years. Well Hillary's wish has backfired because she likely told Trump certain secrets of herself and her foundation...And in 2016 Trump was like gotcha bitch!

Tips to Reduce Stress
Work gets stressful—it's a fact of life. As companies expect you to be increasingly accessible, stress management becomes an important skill to hone. Here at Juice Plus+, we want to empower you to meet your daily stress challenges head on! In honor of National Stress Awareness Month we compiled a list of tips that can help you evaluate your personal triggers and better control your stress.
Re-evaluate Your Habits
Have you realized that many of your daily habits may be triggers for stress? Luckily, through modifying your behavior you can easily eliminate many of these stresses from your life. For example, try leaving 10 -15 minutes early for work if you frequently feel pressed for time. The additional time can make a huge difference in traffic and boost your productivity, helping you to minimize stress and give a healthy jumpstart to your day.
Give Your To-Do List a Facelift
There will always be an urgent deadline or a project that pops up last minute. Constructing a system to evaluate project priorities and effectively manage your time can be a huge stress reliever. Creating to-do lists or using a ranking system can help you better manage multiple tasks. Tools that are readily available as apps or online are an awesome way to track progress and make sure you don't lose your handwritten lists.
Also, don't forget to budget time when dealing with multiple deadlines. Set a timeframe to work on each project and document your status before switching gears. This will help keep you aware of deadlines, and ensure you tackle everything on your list.
Take Care of Yourself
The key to success is your health and well-being. Be sure to get a good night's rest, exercise and stretch regularly, and eat nutrient-dense foods to help minimize stress. You'll perform your best and be the most helpful to your team when you're feeling 100 percent.
How do you deal with stress at work and maintain a healthy lifestyle? We'd love to hear your tips! Leave them in the comments below.

The extraction and processing of palm starch is an ancient technology in island Southeast Asia and New Guinea, but its archaeological signature is weak. This article outlines the evidence for the distribution of ceramic ovens used for cooking sago flour, a possible diagnostic marker in archaeological deposits. In relation to available archaeological evidence (including new radiocarbon dates), we examine the hypothesis that the origin of this distinctive equipment predated the European period. We confirm the existence of sago ovens from pre-European contexts, and suggest an endogenous protohistoric origin rather than an exogenous historic origin. We conclude that the growth and dispersal of ceramic ovens were linked to changes in local trading patterns associated with the increase in the production of cloves, nutmeg and other commodities for European and Asian markets, and expansion along the Papuan coasts by Moluccan traders.

'Sections', as the name suggests deals with categorizing stuff according to one's requirement. We have done exactly that! Note the keyword being 'requirement'. As an instructor you might have the requirement to club certain lessons and assessments together and put them in a folder primarily and create a learning sequence. 'Sections' does exactly this job and helps you impart a learning sequence to your content in Teamie. You can also reorder resources within the sections as per your wish. In fact, instead of having two separate tabs to view lessons and assessments, now we're making it a single tab called "All Materials". You can find all the lessons and assessments of your classroom here.
1. Click sliding menu at the top left corner and select a classroom in which you want to create sections.
2. Click Materials to see a list of all the materials (lessons and assessments) in the classroom.
You can also access any classroom's Materials page directly from the Dash home page by clicking Materials of the required classroom.
4. On the Materials page, you have the freedom to add a new section at any desired location. For example, it can be at the top as shown in the following screen-shot. Also, hovering your mouse pointer over the empty space in between two resources or right below the last item displays, a +Add link which gives you the flexibility to add section at the corresponding location. Click it at the desired location to create a new section at that location.
You can hover your mouse pointer over the empty space between two sections / right above the first section or right below the last section and then click +Add Section link to add new sections at the corresponding location.

Bold : ctrl+b
Underline: ctrl+u
Italic: ctrl+i
Note: Once a word/phrase is hyperlinked, clicking on it will allow you to modify the URL. For a learner, clicking on the link will open the link in a new tab.
11. Click Save Section to save the changes.
12. All the changes will be saved shortly and your section will be created.

The new deadline to file your employee W-2s with the Social Security Administration, whether paper or electronic, is Wednesday, January 31, 2018.
The January 31 filing deadline also applies to 1099-MISC forms used to report non-employee compensation such as payments to independent contractors that exceed $600 over the course of the year.
Why Did the Filing Deadline Change?
Previously, your W-2s had to be mailed to employees by January 31 but didn't need to be filed with the agencies until February 28 (paper) or March 31 (electronically). With the passage of the The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act last year, you have 1-2 months less to file these W-2s.
According to the IRS, "The accelerated deadline will help the IRS improve its efforts to spot errors on returns filed by taxpayers. Having these W-2s and 1099s earlier will make it easier for the IRS to verify the legitimacy of tax returns and properly issue refunds to taxpayers eligible to receive them. In many instances, this will enable the IRS to release tax refunds more quickly than in the past.."
Avoiding Errors
We recommend that you submit these forms to employees and contractors in early or mid-January so there is time for errors to be discovered and corrected before filing them with the Social Security Administration.
If you fail to file a correct W-2 form by the due date and cannot show reasonable cause, you may be subject to one of the penalties indicated below. The penalty applies if any of the following occurs:
- Failure to file on time
- Failure to include all information required to be shown on Form W-2
- Including incorrect information on a W-2
- Filing paper forms when you are required to e-file
- Reporting an incorrect TIN
- Failure to report a TIN
- Failure to file paper Forms W-2 that are machine readable
The amount of the penalty is based on when you file the correct Form W-2:
- $50 per W-2 if you correctly file within 30 days of the due date; the maximum penalty is $536,000 per year ($187,500 for small businesses)
- $100 per W-2 if you correctly file more than 30 days after the due date but by August 1; the maximum penalty is $1,609,000 per year ($536,000 for small businesses)
- $260 per W-2 if you file after August 1, do not file corrections, or do not file required Forms W-2; the maximum penalty is $3,218,500 per year ($1,072,500 for small businesses)
Extension Requests
You can request an extension, but only once to get an additional 30-days. This extension is not automatic; to request one, you must submit an Application for Extension of Time to File Information Returns (form 8809) by January 31.
How to Prepare
We are working to ensure the W-2s of our clients' clients are submitted correctly and in time for service bureaus, PEOs, ASOs, staffing firms, CPAs, benefits brokers, HR consultants, and other remarketers. If your payroll tax management provider hasn't discussed this change with you yet and what they're doing about it, contact us to learn more about how we can help you.

A perfect start but there is more pressure to come – Academy chief on Norwich City realising their Colney ambitions
PUBLISHED: 20:20 15 October 2018 | UPDATED: 20:20 15 October 2018
Plush level pitches, first-team promotions and more have led to a "perfect" start to Norwich City life for Steve Weaver – but he knows the pressure now is to keep it going.
The Canaries unveiled the latest stage of their £5m Colney Training Centre redevelopment after opening groundworks included three new pitches, outdoor rehabilitation facilities, floodlights and the footings on a 500-seater stand for spectators – set to be in place next month.
A purpose-built academy building and first-team gym are also on the way, with the fan and investor-funded project set to be fully functional before the end of the season.
With the first-team breakthrough acts of Max Aarons and Todd Cantwell this term joining Jamal Lewis's arrival last season, successful player development is matching the physical changes at the Canaries' training base.
It's no wonder there is a buzz around City's top-flight academy – but after a dream first year since being recruited by sporting director Stuart Webber, Weaver admitted he knows what has to happen next.
"We throw a lot of ideas around, me and Stuart – we've always done that, and this time every idea we've had seems to have come off," beamed Weaver.
"Even the building, it was a thought after a meeting in my first week. Then we were hoping to raise the money for the pitches from cup runs – before Tom Smith came up with the Canaries bond idea, and it didn't even reach the public launch. It was sold out in six days.
"It's almost been a dream 12 months and then since the start of this season with the lads getting in the first team, it's been perfect really.
"But the important thing for us is that you can't stop. It's a really good start but we would fail the kids we've got now if they don't have the careers they should have.
"There's a lot of pressure, from Stuart mainly, to make sure we've got good lads here, that they're getting the right work and they must have the careers their talents demand. So we're under a little bit of pressure."
While Webber puts that pressure on, Weaver was happy to dish out praise to City head coach Daniel Farke – having managed to maintain first-team expectations, alongside the successful integration of notable academy recruits in a way not seen at Norwich for some time.
"Huge credit has to go to Daniel because there are players among the first-team lads and outside that we don't see or are unconvinced by – but Daniel isn't, so that helps," added Weaver.
"The biggest thing about Daniel is he gives the academy credit for those players, and that is not always the case. It was nice he came out and said good things about us, rather than saying he'd been watching them for six months and it was this and that.
"The other thing is he doesn't mind upsetting senior players. I've got to say that's quite refreshing. But I think it's part of his role and that's what he was brought here to do – to make the first team successful, and he really does help to produce young players.
"So I think we're in a very fortunate position at the moment. Sometimes you just walk into a place that's getting itself geared towards being the model they want to do going forward, and this is certainly the board and Delia's vision."

Plain English Summary
Background and study aims
The excessive drinking of alcohol, or binge drinking, is a major social and health issue in the UK. It can lead to having sex with a lot of different partners and is often the cause of unintended pregnancy. Binge drinking in young people is a key part of the UK's drinking culture and sexually transmitted diseases (STIs) are most often found in this age group. A study at a sexual health clinic in Portsmouth found that many people who came to the clinic with STIs were heavy drinkers, with 87% admitting to binge drinking with an average intake of alcohol of 20 units in a heavy night (the equivalent of 10 cans of beer or lager). Giving advice to people who have been identified to be drinking heavily could reduce the problem of binge drinking. An Australian study found a reduction in drinking when it was tried in a sexual health clinic. This study aims to find out if it is possible and effective to give advice to adults attending a sexual health clinic in the UK.
Who can participate?
People aged 16 and over attending the sexual health clinic for the first time.
What does the study involve?
Participants were screened for alcohol misuse and were asked if they were ready to take part in this study. They were randomly allocated to one of two groups: one received a brief intervention (BI), a short 5-minute discussion on alcohol as part of the clinic visit, and the other group received usual care (given an alcohol health-promoting leaflet during their appointment). All participants were followed up after 6 months to see if they benefitted.
What are the possible benefits and risks of participating?
Patients may benefit from reducing their alcohol usage and risky sexual behaviour.
Where is the study run from?
The study was run from the Portsmouth sexual health clinic, UK.
When is the study starting and how long is it expected to run for?
May 2011 to October 2012.
Who is funding the study?

No ifs, no buts, no snarky comments from me: I found this TEDx talk by Dr Alan Watkins very persuasive. And that's even though it begins with a sports story.
That's specifically part 1: there is a part 2 right here but I haven't seen it yet, I was too busy rushing to show you the first bit.

|Uttaranchal became the 27th state of the Republic of India on the 9th of November 2000. The State is carved out of the northern part of Uttar Pradesh. It is bounded by U.P. on the South, Nepal on the East, Himachal Pradesh on the west and China on the northeast. The geographical area of the state is 53,483 sq.km. It ranks at 18th place and it's share is 1.69% in the area of the country as a whole. Geographically, it is situated in the central Himalayan zone. It extends between 77o 34' and 81o 02' E longitude and 28o 43' to 31o 27' N latitude. Uttaranchal is a region of outstanding natural beauty. Most of the northern parts of the state are covered by the high Himalayan ranges and glaciers, while the lower reaches are densely forested. The unique Himalayan ecosystem plays host to a large number of animals (including bharal, snow leopards, leopards and tigers), plants and rare herbs. Two of India's mightiest rivers, the Ganga and the Yamuna take birth in the glaciers of Uttaranchal, and are fed by innumerable lakes, glacial melts and streams in the region. The topography of Uttaranchal is characterized by hilly terrain, rugged and rocky Mountains, deep valleys, high peaks, sharp streams and rivulets, rapid soil erosion, frequent landslides and widely scattered habitations. Char-dhams, the four most sacred and revered Hindu temples: Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri are nestled in the Mighty Mountains. Capital of Uttaranchal is Dehradun which is also the rail-head in the region. The High Court is situated in the district of Nainital. The region is also known as Uttarakhand.
|Uttaranchal has traditionally been divided into two parts, the eastern region going by the name of Kumaon and the western half known as Garhwal. The native people of Uttaranchal call themselves Paharis (hill people), the majority of whom are Hindus. Other ethnic communities in the region include Gujjars and Nepalis. Garhwal resembles other parts of the Himalayas where various ethnic groups live side by side. Following chiefly the agrarian-pastoral way of life, native Garhwalis make their living from the hilly land the best they can. Kumaon The inhabitants of the Kumaon hills are commonly known as the Kumaonese. They belong to a predominantly patriarchal society, which recognizes the superiority of men over women. The social structure is based on the extended family system, the eldest male member being the head of the family. Women are respected in society but they usually confine themselves to household activities. No religious ceremony is considered complete without the wife joining the husband. Women also work in the fields and forests alongside the men. In Kumaon, bigamy or polygamy has religious sanctions but polyandry is prohibited. Widow marriage and re-marriage by divorced women is permitted except in certain sections of high-caste Brahmins and Rajputs. Child marriage is still practiced in all classes of society despite legal restrictions on it. It has all but disappeared from the educated society.

Suggesting that any attempt to tell the story of the John Paul Getty III kidnapping might be more trouble than it's actually worth, members of the Getty family are threatening to sue producer Danny Boyle over his upcoming FX miniseries, Trust. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Ariadne Getty—sister of the formerly kidnapped John Paul III—is pissed at Boyle because she says his show makes it look like her family was complicit to some degree in the crime.
"It is ironic that you have titled your television series Trust," Getty's lawyer wrote, addressing Boyle and setting the rest of us up for one heck of a legal zinger: "More fitting titles would be Lies or Mistrust, since the defamatory story it tells about the Gettys colluding in the kidnapping is false and misleading, and viewers rightly ought to mistrust it." Boom! (This summer: Donald Sutherland stars in Falsehoods, Or Possible Misrepresentations Of Reality, Perhaps, only on FX!)
Getty is demanding that Boyle release all of the episodes of the miniseries to her for review, so that she and her family can determine to their own satisfaction whether the show actually contends that they were involved in John Paul III's disappearance. This isn't the first time FX has landed in legal trouble in recent months for its attempts to depict real-life events, either; the network is still facing a lawsuit from actress Olivia De Havilland over her portrayal in Ryan Murphy's Feud. Meanwhile, the other recent Getty kidnapping project—Ridley Scott's All The Money In The World, which Ariadne Getty wasn't crazy about, either—faced its own now-infamous troubles last year, when star Kevin Spacey was kicked out of the movie after it was already filmed, over allegations of sexual harassment and assault.

Since WordPress is one of the most popular pieces of software on the internet, hackers are constantly looking for ways to exploit it. Googling "wordpress zero day exploit" returns 115,000 results, which shows a serious need for security measures.
I was recently given access to a new WordPress plugin which claims to be very effective in protecting you from hackers. I discovered that the method used in this plugin was not only ridiculously simple, but actually inferior to a method I have been using for years. Read more …

I have had so much going on recently that I will update on soon. But today is all about telling stories and those of fire and ice in particular. I've been very inspired by Game of Thrones but I doubt that is much of a surprise. I love epic costumes, fabulous embroidery, crowns and pretty much everything about fantasy. Therefore, a love affair was inevitable! So I've been rather sad that its the final episode – no spoilers don't worry.
After eight seasons I feel like I'm saying goodbye to old friends as the characters head off to their future without me. When I finish an image and send it out into the world I sometimes have the same sense of mingled loss and excitement.
When I create an image I envisage a character and a story, even if I never share them with anyone. I get to spend a lot of time with my characters whilst shooting and then editing images. Then I send them off into the world when I share the final picture with others. Once out there they have a life of their own because of course, we have no control over how others perceive our work. I find that both exciting and scary!
I love that people find their own stories in my images and it is great to hear about these. I'm often surprised by the similarities and differences in what people take from them and the emotions they evoke.
Telling stories in a single frame can be challenging but it is very rewarding. I think about how every aspect of an image can work together to create one cohesive piece. Styling, location, model, expression, colours, textures and so much more have to come together.
There is often a lot of planning involved and I'll talk more about what goes into a shoot another time. However, there is also a lot of me in my images. Hopes, dreams and fears all go into the process of creating and sharing my work. So today I have real sympathy for the writers of GOT who despite all their talent for telling stories were never going to be able to please all of us.
RIP GOT, I've loved having your around. I plan to enjoy the reruns for a long time to come (and the rest of the books when they finally arrive!). I'm sure I will be continuing to pay a personal tribute to the wonderful visuals through my work over the coming months. Now if anyone knows where I can find a dragon I've got a great dress and crown that would be just perfect for the shot…

California's Death Valley, notorious for its suffocating heat, was predicted to see temperatures hit 129F (53C), close to the world-record high of 134F (57C) recorded there on July 10 1913. Phoenix, Arizona was set to reach 118F (48C) while visitors to Las Vegas were to bake in 117F (47C) heat, according to the US National Weather Service.
"It's brutal out there," Leslie Carmine, spokeswoman for Catholic Charities, told Associated Press. The organisation is operating a daytime shelter in Las Vegas to draw homeless people out of the dangerous heat and equip them with sunscreen and bottled water.
Authorities were working to protect vulnerable residents, opening up temporary cooling stations for the homeless and elderly people on low incomes who might be hesitant to use air conditioning.
Airline officials said they were watching the weather closely amid suggestions the heat wave could affect air travel.
US Airways spokesman Todd Lehmacher said the airline's fleet of Boeings could now fly up to 126 degrees, and up to 127 degrees for the Airbus fleet.
But smaller express planes could be delayed if temperatures rise above (117F) 47C as the heat can affect take off conditions.
The hotter is it, your performance is degraded," Mr Lehmacher said. "We're monitoring this very closely to see what the temperatures do."
Meteorologists said the intense heatwave, predicted to last over the weekend, was caused by a high pressure system hanging over the western United States.
The heat wave is "a huge one," National Weather Service specialist Stuart Seto said. "We haven't seen one like this for several years, probably the mid- to late 2000s."
Officials said extra staff had been added to the US Border Patrol's Search, Trauma, and Rescue unit, after several bodies of immigrants were found in the past week in Arizona. People attempting to illegally cross the border from Mexico into the southern United States often fall victim to the unforgiving desert conditions and there were fears the heatwave could add to the numbers succumbing to exhaustion and dehydration.
Meanwhile at the Phoenix Zoo, animals were cooled down with hoses, sprinklers and misters. The tigers were to be fed frozen fish snacks while the lions could lounge on concrete slabs cooled by internal water-filled pipes, said zoo spokeswoman Linda Hardwick.
"And they'll all have plenty of shade," she said. "The keepers will all just be very active looking for any behaviour changes, anything that would tip them off that an animal is just getting too hot."

Karolina Kurkova Miniskirt Street Style | May 3, 2013
Karolina Kurkova's Latest Is Too Cool Not to Shop
Don't let your eyes fool you. That's Karolina Kurkova taking a casual stroll around NYC — not hitting the catwalk — although both the supermodel strut and perfect outfit might have convinced you otherwise. Aside from compelling us to commit to that Pilates class today and tomorrow, Karolina's latest just gave us a much-needed dose of weekend outfit inspiration. The supermodel balanced casual and pulled-together styles with a few key pieces, like a cool-girl meets ladies-who-brunch play on the tweed jacket and a bright Spring-ready skort. Rather than give the look a too-dressy tilt with a pair of heels, she kept it easy (and walkable!) with black ankle boots and an equally functional Gryson crossbody bag. You don't need much to finish it off, just a pair of Ray-Bans to further the street-styled appeal. All the outfit ingredients are below — just shop to channel Karolina's effortless (and perfect for your weekend) look.
Shop clockwise from top left: AllSaints Kayo T-Shirt ($65), Sandro Vernis Jacket ($600), Ray-Ban Clubmaster Half-Frame Acetate Sunglasses ($145), ASOS Altitude Leather Jodhpur Ankle Boots ($92), Gryson Women's Ruby Belted Strap Classic Small Satchel ($695), Zara Culotte Shorts ($50)

Co-founded in 2013, this Tel Aviv based company is a marketplace for gift cards. Zeek offers a mobile and web platform to both buy and sell gift vouchers whilst they Zeek gets commission on each transaction. With perks such as buying gift vouchers below face value, it is no wonder they are currently Europe's largest gift voucher marketplace, but how did an Israeli startup boom in the European market?
Their journey
The founders stumbled across the gift voucher problem when they got married. They received an expensive gift. He went to the shop to swap it for a gift voucher and placed it into his wallet for later use. Like many gift vouchers, it expired before it was ever used and that money went down the drain.
They decided to do something about it and founded the company soon after. A year later, in December 2014, they expanded their concept to the UK.
Due to their success, they quickly secured funding in May 2015 from investors from Blumberg Capital and Qualcomm totalling an incredible £2.5 million in series A funding. Their series B funding rocketed to £7.7 million in July 2016 with other investors flocking to support. The series B funding is to be used primarily on expanding its presence in the UK.
The UK's 2016 gift voucher analysis by UKGCVA confirms that their move to the UK was a strong move as it states 60% of brand members saw a growth in gift voucher sales with an undeniable shift from paper to plastic and digital gift vouchers.
With continued support from General Partner of Scale-Up, Alex Lazovsky is predicting Zeek to be "the next tech unicorn in Europe." Zeek CEO, Daniel Zelkind, is also claiming their continued 30% growth every month.

Please update your MiniLab firmware by doing as follow:1/ Download the latest version of the unified MIDI control center:==> http://www.arturia.com/downloads/mccu/2/ Select "Device" menu3/ Click on "Firmware Upgrade"4/ Follow the procedureFeel free to come back to me if still any problem or misunderstanding.Yours Musically,Signy.
The keys that don't work for me are both Ds, F#s, and A#s.
If I unplug the keyboard, and plug it back in, all keys start working for a few seconds, but then the 6 keys stop responding.
Any workarounds yet?
By random trial and error, a workaround that apparently works in my case is: press/rotate/slide EVERY key/pad/encoder/slider on the controller. I usually check on a Midi Monitor that they actually send out a message, and I believe that encoders and sliders are the ones to try first, as pressing keys only isn't enough. This somehow fixes the issue. You may need to repeat that after a short while, but after one or two repeats the fix lasts for much longer. Much closer to sorcery than to science!
Solved. Although I was a little bummed bc I was gonna buy another 25 key controller that has aftertouch. Lol

Mises Daily Articles
Junk Food, Taxes, and the Market Solution
The recent debate on revolutionizing the medical system in the United States has brought Pigouvian tax concepts — arguing for taxes to counteract the so-called "social costs" of individual purchases — back into vogue. A recent article in The Economist describes a series of papers advocating new taxes on junk food.
The case made by the authors of the cited studies is simple: people who eat junk food suffer from more severe health issues than their vegetable-eating counterparts. According to The Economist, annual medical costs of an obese person are $700 greater than those of a thin person. However, those additional costs are not entirely borne by the obese.
These studies suggest that levying taxes on junk food would redirect the costs to exactly those whose consumption patterns are causing the national healthcare bill to rise. Such taxes, these economists argue, would internalize the negative externalities imposed by the obese on the rest of the society, generate additional money for the healthcare system, and even provide an incentive for consumers to live healthier lives.
Although The Economist preserves its skepticism towards the Pigouvian tax debate, the article misses the most important question: why are products with serious side effects still consumed all over the world?
We all know that broccoli is healthier than cheeseburgers, and carrots are healthier than pizza. Having bad habits is natural. All of us have some. But that's not the point. The question is why some specific habits that negatively affect our health are so popular. Why is it that unhealthy food is demanded by huge proportions of the world population?
Checking the standard menus of fast food restaurants, you will see that they all have one thing in common: their meals generally contain meat. Meat has historically been a luxury good, but huge fast food corporations with efficient production and supply chains have made it possible to serve meat to any American family at any time for just a few dollars.
Not only that, but fast food chains prepare their meals with the goal of keeping the customers attached to their brand. The inevitable consequence is fatty meals with sauces that are basically liquid sugar and taste enhancers. Combined with ever-falling prices and stable income levels, these menus changed the average pant size in the United States from medium to extra large over the past decade.
So it seems to be easy to explain why people love fast food: it contains a lot of meat, it is designed to taste well, and it is getting ever cheaper. But how can a good that is potentially hazardous get cheaper and cheaper? Shouldn't the market accommodate for the hazard, so that people who are willing to take the potential risk for the sake of pleasure have to face higher costs in terms of higher insurance premiums?
That's where the public medical plans come into play. Since the government distorts the health insurance markets, it releases the insurance seekers from their own responsibilities.
The standard health insurance premiums for overweight people (and smokers) are certainly below a potential free market price. The most obvious proof for this is the public health deficit — which a profit-oriented insurance company could not run year after year without being outcompeted by other companies. Clearly, on a free market in health insurance, obese persons would have to pay even higher premiums than they do now.
For sake of argument, suppose that in a free market, smokers would have to pay twice as much for their health insurance as they do now. Mightn't that be incentive enough for them to change their lifestyle? And if not, isn't it the right of anyone who can afford it, and whose actions do not affect others negatively, to do whatever he or she pleases to do? In a free-market insurance system we wouldn't have to care about the freely-chosen obesity of others.
But in fact, insurance markets are not free from government intervention, and premiums are therefore too low for the obese. This generates a problematic incentive structure. Given that, in the end, the public is going to support people with health issues arising from steady junk food consumption, there is no incentive at all for such people to change their habits.
If we are concerned about obesity, we should talk about the general health system and how it should be liberalized so that everyone is responsible for his own actions. But instead, governments are talking about further regulation — that's what an additional tax is. Unfortunately, two bad regulations don't make a good one. Still, the government seems to have the moral high ground. In the end, their goal is to increase the health of Mr. and Mrs. USA, right?
Intentions and Consequences
Let us suppose that the government authorities are serious about their goals, and that their aim is to foster healthy nutrition and an improved standard of living for US citizens. For the sake of argument, let us also accept the government's assumption that an increase in taxes would affect behavior and reduce the consumption of burgers and pizza.
Who would be the most negatively affected by such a tax hike? Certainly not the potential fast food consumer, since according to this scenario, he would benefit from improved health, and this gain would outweigh the additional costs on his restaurant bill.
What are the consequences of the fall in demand? It would certainly force fast food chains to adjust their purchases. In the fast food industry, where 70% of total costs is attributed to labor, it's pretty clear who is going to be affected: the people who are standing behind the counter, asking several-hundred times a day, "For here or to go?"
As argued before, it is overregulation that keeps demand for junk food as high as it is right now, and hence allocates labor toward that industry. The market would react to a further imbalance caused by an additional regulation (tax) by reallocating labor to other sectors. The effect would be considerable unemployment, and the loss in demand caused by it. The regulation would also affect the agricultural sector nearly as much as the fast food sector, given that fast food chains are among the largest purchasers of agricultural products.
One may certainly argue that those consequences would be temporary, lasting only until food-manufacture and food-service entrepreneurs adjusted their production, employees got new jobs, and consumers changed their habits. Nonetheless, I can't help myself considering this whole chain of events as something unfair.
In the end, even granting the government's assumptions, the people who would carry the burden haven't done anything wrong. The employee who took a job in a thriving industry acted perfectly reasonably. The fast food entrepreneur merely realized that there was demand for a product which was underpriced, and acted like a rational businessman to fill the supply. That's what we want entrepreneurs to do! They are supposed to seek opportunities, maximize profits and thereby provide jobs and generate wealth.
What about the consumer? The government gave him the illusion that the side effects of his actions would be costless. He is certainly not the one who should be blamed for this situation. It is government overregulation that caused this mess and deserves the blame.
Any thriving industry may, in principle, face exactly the same arbitrary government intervention. Take the cell phone industry for example. Some studies suggest a relationship between heavy cell phone usage and the occurrence of brain tumors. Should we also place a Pigouvian tax on cell phone users, since their health problems may cause costs that aren't fully covered by their insurance?
My stance is that only a private insurance provider can correctly find a price for this risk. Under a complete liberalization of the insurance and health markets, profit-driven companies would price bad habits until they became less affordable. Customers would be able to see the potential risks of the usage of certain products. If those risks are as severe as they are claimed to be, then the market price of the products would reflect that.
Although human behavior is complicated, and many bad habits have deeper psychological roots, those habits that affect our health negatively and nonetheless appear on a large scale should be analyzed from a structural perspective. They are symptoms of an underlying problem, which is rooted in public healthcare provision. Public healthcare liberates people not from insecurity in terms of health services, but from responsibility for themselves.
If our intention is to decrease junk food consumption, the only sustainable policy is one that addresses the full liberalization of healthcare. This would resolve the problem of a chronically underfinanced public healthcare system and make us aware of the fact that our health is a valuable good.
With that being said, it should also be clear that the consumption of fast food and cigarettes would prevail for some people who could still afford it. In a private insurance system, in which the lifestyle of my neighbor would not affect me, his eating habits would be none of my business. Individuals could and should be able to choose their own ways of life freely, so long as their actions do not negatively affect others.

Digital interviewing platform provider HireVue recently announced the launch of WorldVue, a full-service platform to help non-profits meet their volunteer and temporary staffing needs. The free service helps qualifying not-for-profit organizations and NGOs source, vet and interview volunteers. According to HireVue, the new staffing software is best suited for registered not-for-profit organizations that are volunteer-centric and have a global geographical presence."
"Technology should help facilitate social good. Non-profits have suffered just as much as enterprise companies when it comes to archaic ways of identifying, interviewing and interacting with the best talent," Mark Newman, CEO and founder of HireVue, said. "WorldVue can help build the world's best non-profits by allowing volunteers to better identify how they can contribute, and by creating a better volunteer experience along the way."
WorldVue features include:
- Access to same technology and full-service experience as HireVue's customer base
- Secure platform that powers on-demand and live interviews
- Social sourcing
- Candidate rating and rating sharing with other decision makers
- Branded landing pages
- White-glove user training
- 24/7 online and phone support in a dozen languages
"It's simply unacceptable in this day and age that a lack of resources can stand between worthy non-profits and the best volunteer talent. However, every day around the globe non-profits suffer from this very thing, particularly in instances of natural disaster or where volunteer needs are dispersed geographically," said Jeff Barson of HireVue Labs, the startup that produced WorldVue. "At HireVue Labs, we provide a technology platform for companies that are rethinking the way people connect and communicate – whether it's a candidate and a prospective employer, a doctor and a patient or a politician and a voter. WorldVue is simply one example of how we incubate new and relevant applications of the HireVue technology beyond human resources."

I love toys and I want my little boy to have educational toys for his good learning and development. Most educational toys that I like can be found in wooden toys. I bought in bulk orders and sell wooden toys to other moms who are also interested in this kind of toys. Before I made a purchase, I research about beneficial use of the toy to a child and it's safeness.
The wooden toy posted on the photo above is Geometric Blocks contains four different geometric shapes of blocks with four different colours in 4 different heights. It is very helpful for Montessori toddlers in basic shapes and color recognition. Instils early math concepts that teaches shapes, color and pattern recognition. This is one of the favorites of my son. There are many ways to play with these wooden toys. My little boy uses his imagination in building a tower and building a cute house.
You can see more of wooden educational toys that I sell at "Affordable wooden educational toys for sale."

Image Storytelling
There is a revolution going on…
Images are gaining momentum in the communication strategies of individuals, business and governments globally. In a sea of digital information, being noticed or engaged with, even for a second, can make or break your message.
Strong visuals with carefully considered aesthetics will propel your Organisation's message to the widest possible audience and may lend you access to significant powerbroking potential.
The basis of my PhD and current research is "The Image as Storytelling".
If today's digital cultures, where ever they are in the world, are understood as fundamentally visual, then the ability to successfully create/decode them should be at the forefront of strategy for any public institution or private enterprise.
Visual storytelling, if handled with cultural sensitivity, allows you to construct a responsive image-based narrative that can be understood by today's mobile-first global audiences.
My research shows how to use and leverage design aesthetics as a sensible, practical and creative tool to augment your visual communication strategy in the digital sphere.
Understanding the power of aesthetics to change the mood, tone or direction of a message (see below) means that you can tailor your output to meet/influence the emotional/intellectual requirements of your target audience implicitly.
In 2017 Prof. David Moore convened The Future of Photography Conference at the University of Westminster. The event saw the launch of The Image as Storytelling project in front of an invited audience including Clare Grafik, Senior editor at the London based Photographers' Gallery, Anne bourgeois Vignon, Global director at Magnum Photos, and the photographer Simon Roberts.
If you would like to know more about visual storytelling please follow up on the short essay entitled Visual storytelling: where are we now.

Sony has turned to indie darling Wes Anderson, director of "The Royal Tenenbaums," "The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou," and "Fantastic Mr. Fox" to flog its new Xperia phones.
The Sony Xperia S and its smartphone siblings are made of imagination, apparently. The ad is inspired by children's vision of a dream phone and features robots, rainbow monkeys, and phones that grow hands and feet. It's all created in Anderson's signature quirky style and backed by the tinkling tones of Sigur Ros frontman Jonsi.Read more of "Sony Xperia S ad directed by Royal Tenenbaums' Wes Anderson," and see the ad, at Crave UK.
