US Becoming Self-Suffient in Energy Demand by 2035?
At the latest World Energy Outlook report, the IEA forecast that the US would become a net exporter of natural gas by 2020 and would be almost self-sufficient in energy by 2035. According to the agency's estimates, the US will become the world's largest producer in 2020 with output of 11.1M bpd before easing to 10.9M bpd in 2025. For Saudi Arabia, production will be 10.6M bpd and 10.8M bpd in 2020 and 2025 respectively. The Kingdom will, however, return to be the largest producer in 2030 with output of 11.4M bpd, compared with Us' 10.2M bpd. On the demand side, global oil consumption is expected to increase to 99.7M bpd in 2035, up from 87.4M bpd in 2011. China, India and the Middle East is expected to account for 60% of the growth in total energy demand.The IEA stated that energy saving efforts implemented by various countries have helped reduce worldwide oil demand by almost 13M bpd by 2035. Yet, full implementation in accordance to the agency's advice would lead to a reduction by half.
The IEA's expectation that the US would become a net oil exporter has huge implication on the world oil market. According to the agency, this would "switch direction of international oil trade" as almost 90% of Middle Eastern oil exports will be shifted to Asia from the US by 2035. Yet, this estimate has triggered much doubt regarding its accuracy. According to the IEA's Oil Market Report in October, US' oil demand would be around 18.7M bpd in both 2012 and 2013. Even if we assume there's no increase in consumption over the coming years, it would be hard for the country to become self-sufficient with around 10M bpd of oil production. A possibility is that the research includes other resources such as natural gas and the US would raise its imports from Canada so as to eliminate its reliance on the Middle East countries. However, the IEA's presentation has not made these issues clear.
Gold prices slipped on Tuesday despite geopolitical tensions in Gaza Strip. Israel has started fighting against Syria for the first time in 40 years. Meanwhile, Israel returned fire after more than 65 rockets were fired from Gaza (probably by Palestinians) into Israel. Israeli President Netanyahu said that the government is "closely monitoring what is happening on our border with Syria and there we are also ready for any development…Israel will not sit idly by in the face of attempts to attack us. We are prepared to intensify the response".
On the dataflow, economic confidence in the Eurozone deteriorated further. Economic sentiment surprisingly slipped to -2.6 in November from -1.4 a month ago. In Germany, the reading dropped to -15.7 from -11.5 in October. The market had anticipated an improvement to -9. The "current situation" index in Germany dipped -4.6 points to 5.4 during the month. UK's headline inflation accelerated to +2.6% y/y in October from +2.2%, while core inflation grew by the same amount. Despite sharp jump in inflation, the BOE is expected to leave the Bank rate unchanged at 0.5% and expand asset purchases further next year so as to bolster the fragile economy.

Incredible Selection of Column Radiators
At soak.com, we stock a vast range of column radiators that will leave you spoilt for choice. All you need to do is browse through our selection to find something that matches with the interior decor of your home.
Variety of Colours & Column Radiator Models Available
Our column radiators are divided into horizontal column radiators and vertical column radiators. The vertical radiators are slim and elongated and can be installed tall up against your wall. The horizontal radiators are more of an innovation on the traditional colosseum look as they are short and wide. There are also a couple of choices in our heated towel rails that you can go for if you require something a little bit more subtle.
The innovative and cutting-edge selection of column radiators is available in a range of glamorous finishes including anthracite, chrome, black, white and silver. They also come in a number of patterns including oval and flat panel shapes so that you can choose something that encapsulates the look you wish to create in your brand new bathroom or living space. If you wish to take a look at the more unique and luxurious styles, browse through our range of designer radiators.
Column Radiators of All Shapes & Sizes
Further to that, you can get them in a range of sizes and bars. If this is all puzzling for you, all you need to do is go over to our BTU calculation infographic and instantly work out the heat output that would be required based on the dimensions of the room to which you wish to fit the radiator. This will narrow down the column radiator choices that are on sale for you to a minimum. You can then check out which wall you want to place any of our column radiators against.
Because there is limited space within property in the UK, it may be wise to go for smaller or uniquely shaped options. For instance, if you would like a column radiator with a high BTU that is still quite slim, we have 2 and 3 bar column radiator choices. Unfortunately, we do not stock 4 column radiators but our column radiators are solid and sturdy enough to provide you with all you need.

Athens angst hits southern European stock markets
* Greek lawmakers fail to elect new president
* Athens' ATG equity index closes down 3.9 pct
* Southern European markets fall, but northern ones rise
* UK's FTSE rises 0.4 pct, DAX and CAC also advance
* FTSEurofirst 300 closes up 0.2 pct
By Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Greek shares slid on Monday, hitting other southern European markets, after lawmakers rejected the government's candidate for president and set in train a snap election that could derail the nation's bailout programme.
Fears the euro zone's sovereign debt crisis could flare up again caused some investors to switch out of southern European "peripheral" equity markets in favour of "core" northern Europe. The French and German stock markets rose on Monday.
The sole candidate for the Greek presidency, Stavros Dimas, a former European Commissioner, fell short of the 180 vote super majority needed to become president, and Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras announced a snap parliamentary election on Jan. 25. Continuación...

Royal Society University Research Fellow
Sam Stranks is accepting applications for PhD students.
JJ Thomson Ave
Kapitza Building K26
Cambridge CB3 0HE
United Kingdom
Sam Stranks is a TED Fellow and a Royal Society University Research Fellow at the University of Cambridge. He graduated from the University of Adelaide in 2007 with a BA (German and Applied Mathematics), BSc (Physics and Physical Chemistry), BSc (First Class Honours in Physics) and a University Medal. He completed his PhD as a Rhodes Scholar at Oxford University with Robin Nicholas, receiving the 2012 Institute of Physics Roy Thesis Prize for his work on carbon nantoube/polymer blends for organic solar cell applications. From 2012-2014, he worked as a post-doctoral researcher in Henry Snaith's group at Oxford University where he was also a Junior Research Fellow at Worcester College and Lecturer in Physics at Corpus Christi College. From 2014-2016, he was a Marie Curie Outgoing Fellow at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology undertaking independent research in Vladimir Bulovic's ONE Lab. Sam received the 2016 IUPAP Young Scientist in Semiconductor Physics Prize for 'pioneering discoveries in the field of perovskite solar cells and optoelectronics through spectroscopy".
Research Interests
Our research generally focuses on the optical and electronic properties of emerging photovoltaic and optoelectronic systems. We use spectroscopic techniques to assess the optoelectronic quality of materials and construct optimised devices including solar cells, light-emitting diodes and lasers. We are particularly interested in understanding the photophysical properties and potential device applications of new absorber and emitter materials including metal halide perovskites and related materials. See my recent TED talk on our work on perovskites.
Our approaches include:
- Time-resolved techniques including time-correlated single photon counting (TCSPC), photoinduced absorption (PIA) and transient absorption (TAS)
- Time-resolved confocal photoluminescence and electroluminescence mapping
- Steady-state photoluminescence and absorption spectroscopy
- Perovskite, hybrid and organic photovoltaic and light-emitting device fabrication and characterisation
- Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy-dispersive X-Ray (EDX) spectroscopy and X-Ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS)
- X-Ray Diffraction (XRD)
- Carbon nanotube–polymer nanohybrid synthesis and characterisation
Potential Projects
Please get in touch if you are interested in joining the group. Some specific PhD projects on offer for 2017 are listed below, though please also get in touch if other areas of my research are of interest. The deadlines for application to the University are typically in early December for international students for a start date the following October.
1. Understanding the origin of non-radiative losses in perovskite films
2. Direct relationship between local structure and local optoelectronic behaviour in perovskites
3. Investigating the origin of slow charge carrier recombination in metal halide perovskites
4. Eliminating non-radiative losses in materials for perovskite-perovskite tandems
5. Developing high-performance perovskite white light LEDs

Wealth management is underestimating the flow of information and influence of social media while wealth clients are beginning to embrace social media.
Conservative wealth management Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) who haven't embraced social media themselves often underestimate the flow of information and influence of social media. Like Al Gore's 'inconvenient truth' about climate change, the wealth management industry must take notice of the profound changes that social media will have on their business. Simply put: Social media is now too big to ignore.
The pool of prospective global savers has become larger, older and richer. Developing markets currently represent less than 20 percent of global personal financial assets, but represent 40 percent of global gross domestic product (GDP). By 2050, developing countries will represent 60 percent of global gross domestic product GDP. In China and India, personal financial assets have grown at a rate of 25 percent per year for the past 20 years.
All of this suggests that the wealth management industry is likely to continue its upward trend.
Social media can:
Social media is becoming pervasive in virtually every industry. Wealth management is already on the cusp of being surpassed by this highly disruptive technology.
The advent of social media in wealth management is illustrative of the paradigm shift affecting the industry today, including changes in client expectations, the ability of the industry to embrace technology, and the new direction wealth managers must take to stay current with their clients and the marketplace as a whole.
Consumers, the industry at large and wealth managers in particular must all adapt to the promise and potential pitfalls of Fintech and social media. The rules of wealth management are being rewritten. Whereas Fintech helps bridge the virtual gap between theoretical and practical technology adaptations for the financial services industry, so too does social media help change the mindset from traditional to modern thinking in wealth management.
Everything is changing:
Social media use reflects the preferences and proclivities of the modern consumer. The ability to instantly receive research and information on-demand is empowering wealth management clients to take greater charge of their portfolios and make financial decisions on their own – for better or for worse. They assume greater risks, and suffer unilaterally if social media-sourced investment advice doesn't pan out. Investors are skewing younger as the general population ages and Gen Y surpasses Baby Boomers and even Gen X in terms of consumption. There is also an explosion in the middle class in developing countries, and they are younger and more internet savvy, creating new marketplace opportunities for wealth managers.
The financial technology-fuelled evolution is rapidly creating opportunities and challenges, forcing the traditional industry to change – whether they like it or not. The disruption comes from new technologies and from clients who are already adopting these technologies. With the added weight of maintaining their collective and individual reputations online, there is a real vulnerability that by not following suit, the industry faces disintermediation or even outright obsolescence.
Industry leaders often ignore social media because of a misunderstanding that it's purely a vanity marketing play and they perceive it as too youth focused. The dangers lie in wealth managers struggling to accept the far-reaching impact of social media, and then sitting idle while their clients find their own way through the less experienced social media voices. Very few will come out ahead in this scenario.

Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds and Persuade Us… (edition 2012)

Brandwashed: Tricks Companies Use to Manipulate Our Minds and Persuade Us to Buy by Martin Lindstrom
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I really enjoyed this, and recommend it to anyone who is interested in marketing strategies. If nothing else, read chapter 9 on data mining. It's fascinating and very disturbing.
In my opinion this book is about 80% "bull-hooey" and the rest is sort of interesting. I do believe that many companies have their devious ways to sucker the consumer into buying their products and a lot of the time they are very successful. It is a fact that these same companies do an unbelievable amount of data-mining (scary stuff) and know way too much about us, our families and our purchases. All of that is covered in this book and it makes for some interesting reading. However ----- some of the points Lindstrom tries to make are just mind-bogglingly outlandish. He states that most people who choose to own a Toyota Prius do so as a status symbol, not because they want to help the environment. Apparently everyone will look at a Prius owner and be full of admiration and good will even though said owner only wants the recognition. Lindstrom also says that most people only buy "green" when other people are looking; otherwise they will buy the cheap light bulbs, etc. Celebrity endorsements make people think they can be just like the celebrity if they buy that particular brand. Really? I will be gorgeous like Jennifer Lopez if I wear her perfume? I am not a 12 year old who needs a celebrity to tell me what I want. Just because Oprah recommends a book does not mean I will read it. I don't need a coach purse to carry my stuff and I don't care that people know I bought my purse at Kohl's. Yes, there certainly are people in this world who are enamored of anything with an exclusive brand name, but I don't think the majority of humanity is a herd of lemmings no matter what Lindstrom writes.
If you buy things, read this book.
I did not like this book. Poorly written & full of "Can you believe they're doing this?!" kind of accusations and reeks of a guilty conscious.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0385531737, Hardcover)Foreword by Morgan Spurlock
From the bestselling author of Buyology comes a shocking insider's look at how today's global giants conspire to obscure the truth and manipulate our minds, all in service of persuading us to buy.
Marketing visionary Martin Lindstrom has been on the front lines of the branding wars for over twenty years. Here, he turns the spotlight on his own industry, drawing on all he has witnessed behind closed doors, exposing for the first time the full extent of the psychological tricks and traps that companies devise to win our hard-earned dollars.
Picking up from where Vance Packard's bestselling classic, The Hidden Persuaders, left off more than half-a-century ago, Lindstrom reveals:
• New findings that reveal how advertisers and marketers intentionally target children at an alarmingly young age – starting when they are still in the womb!
• Shocking results of an fMRI study which uncovered what heterosexual men really think about when they see sexually provocative advertising (hint: it isn't their girlfriends).
• How marketers and retailers stoke the flames of public panic and capitalize on paranoia over global contagions, extreme weather events, and food contamination scares.
• The first ever neuroscientific evidence proving how addicted we all are to our iPhones and our Blackberry's (and the shocking reality of cell phone addiction - it can be harder to shake than addictions to drugs and alcohol).
• How companies of all stripes are secretly mining our digital footprints to uncover some of the most intimate details of our private lives, then using that information to target us with ads and offers 'perfectly tailored' to our psychological profiles.
• How certain companies, like the maker of one popular lip balm, purposely adjust their formulas in order to make their products chemically addictive.
• What a 3-month long guerilla marketing experiment, conducted specifically for this book, tells us about the most powerful hidden persuader of them all.
• And much, much more.
This searing expose introduces a new class of tricks, techniques, and seductions – the Hidden Persuaders of the 21st century- and shows why they are more insidious and pervasive than ever.
Amazon Exclusive: Steven D. Levitt Reviews BrandWashed
Steven D. Levitt is the best-selling author of Freakonomics and SuperFreakonomics and a professor of economics at the University of Chicago. He is a recipient of the John Bates Clark Medal, awarded to the most influential economist under the age of forty.
Why do we always grab for the-second-newspaper-from-the-top of a stack of newspapers? When we talk on our cell phones why do most of us walk in a slowly decreasing circle? Do you know that "Competitive Altruism"--e.g. keeping up with that neighbor of ours who also owns a spiffy Prius--usually lies behind our decision to buy a bagful of organic apples and shut off the sprinkler?
The strange ways in which we consumers walk, talk, and whip out our wallets underscore BrandWashed, Martin Lindstrom's fascinating, entertaining, occasionally shocking expose of the drivers advertisers and marketers use to make us buy. I consider Martin a kindred spirit. He enjoys nothing more than uncovering the hidden incentives behind all kinds of human behavior and social phenomena, and the differences between how we say we act versus how we actually act (in econo-speak, we call this declared preferences versus revealed preferences).
Marketing and advertising are smarty-pants industries. They know a whole lot about us. A global marketing guru for such companies as Pepsico, Disney, McDonald's, and Microsoft, Martin takes us backstage to expose the ruses and tricks companies and marketers use to get us to spend mad money. Such as nostalgia, fear, peer pressure, celebrity, and the inclusion of magical ingredients and elixirs that promise to banish all human worry and make you look sixteen forever--well, at least until you die. Last but never least, there's sex. I promise you'll get a kick out of reading who the real audience for pretty-boy teen singers is, how men really respond to male-underwear ads, and the drunken research Unilever commissioned before the company rolled out its randy TV ads for Axe deodorant and body spray.
I've read the first chapter of dozens of business books over the last five years; rarely do I make it any further. Indeed, I've only read two business books from cover to cover in that time period: Buyology and BrandWashed. It is no coincidence that Martin Lindstrom is the author of both of those books. Simply put, Martin Lindstrom is the most innovative and creative marketer on the planet. BrandWashed is smart, thought-provoking, and laugh out loud funny. It's even better than Buyology, if that is possible. --Steven D. Levitt
(retrieved from Amazon Thu, 12 Mar 2015 18:11:22 -0400)
In this shocking, no-holds-barred expos, Lindstrom draws on more than 20 years spent in the back rooms and board rooms to reveal all the manipulative ways marketers and advertisers tap into our most deeply seated fears, vulnerabilities, impulses, dreams, and desires--all in the service of taking our dollars.… (more)

About the Owner
About Adele Pepperell
Owners Adele and Andrew bought the property 9 years ago, originally as a holiday home. After falling in love with the Breton way of life they took the plunge and moved to Brittany on a permanent basis, 4 years ago. They have renovated the main farmhouse in which they live and have converted a former cow shed into beautiful a holiday cottage. With over 30 years experience as a general builder Andrew has continued to work in Brittany. He is a keen golfer and fisherman. Adele was previously a Community Nurse but now spends her days looking after the gite, gardening and looking after their animals, which include 3 dogs, a cat a horse and 2 sheep.
Why Adele Pepperell chose Saint-Brieuc area
We bought the house in 2005. Although at the time it was in need of renovation we could see the potential it had to become a fantastic family home.
We love the countryside location. It really is a relaxing place to be!!
What makes this cottage unique
Our location in central Brittany makes it an ideal property, offering both the quietness of the countryside and easy access to the surrounding towns and villages.

Relaxing vacation!
Beautiful surroundings, lovely accommodation and Adele and Andrew are great hosts! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this property to anyone who wants a peaceful, relaxing vacation in the Brittany countryside.
charming cottage in idyllic setting
We stayed in the cottage two years ago and decided to come back because we had such a lovely time before. We weren't disappointed, the cottage was as attractive, well finished, clean and charming as it was before. Having two bathrooms is a big plus, especially if there is a group of you, not to mention the incredibly peaceful setting. The owners, Andy and Adele, are really helpful and friendly but only if you need it. Little things that I liked were milk being available on arrival, a dishwasher, walk in shower, firewood if we needed it. The surrounding countryside is lovely and it is well located for day trips. We loved it and plan to go back next year with other members of our family
Only a week...sigh.
Our visits to France are usually based in Normandy so to venture to Brittany was a step into the unknown. Will we like it? Will there be much to do or see? By the end of our weeks stay at Adele and Andrew's beautiful cottage, these questions and others were answered with a resounding YES!
The cottage is located in a beautiful rural setting amongst the fields of a working farm and animals, wild and domesticated, are never far away. We were fortunate to see the Kestrel chicks emerge from their nest in the neighbouring barn and take their clumsy, maiden flights. Also watching were the many baby rabbits that would scatter when you appeared, but then emerge from the brambles, won over by their curiosity.
A fifteen minute drive gets you to the nearest town, Quintin, where the supermarket has anything you need for your stay, including a superb fish counter.
Further afield (40 minute drive), is the delightful seaside town of Binic with a beautiful beach hidden from sight, and accessed through a stone tunnel in the Harbour Wall. A great secret, and just a minute's walk from a number of Creperies overlooking the harbour.
The cottage is superbly equipped, beautifully maintained and the perfect location to simply do nothing or perhaps stroll amongst the fields. It also provides a great base from which to explore the villages, towns and beauty spots in this unspoilt area of France.
Our hosts, Adele and Pep were welcoming and friendly yet unobtrusive and always prepared to offer guidance on what the vicinity had to offer.
We can't wait for our next visit, not least for the baskets of fresh strawberries that mysteriously kept appearing on our doorstep!
Idyllic Brittany getaway!
The cottage was beautiful, comfortable and tastefully decorated to a very high standard and with loads of nice extra touches (face cloths, luxury toiletries etc). There was a welcome pack which included milk so we could make a cup of tea as soon as we arrived!
We took our parents so it was useful having a bedroom and bath room downstairs for them, as well as having the bathroom and bedrooms upstairs. Next time we will take more of our family as there was plenty of room.
Andy and Adele were lovely, really friendly and helpful. It was useful having them next door but it was still very private.
You would need a car for this holiday but the place itself was so pretty and peaceful. The whole area is one of the prettiest I've seen in Brittany. All the gardens looked like picture postcards, including the one with the cottage.
We visited Binic when we wanted a seaside day. We also visited a nearby lake that was gorgeous. Lots of good value restaurants nearby.
We loved the place, we were so relaxed when we came back and we plan to go back as soon as we can.
Holiday review
Fantastic relaxing holiday!! beautiful home, clean, and had everything we needed. Lovely scenery and close to beautiful beach. Owners very friendly and helpful!! Really recommend it.

US STOCKS-Mixed data keeps Wall St flat at record levels
* Q3 GDP reading seen supporting market going forward
* Tiffany rallies after results, Workday down
* Dow, S&P and Nasdaq all move less than 0.1 pct (Updates to midday trading)
By Ryan Vlastelica
NEW YORK, Nov 25 (Reuters) - U.S. stocks were little changed on Tuesday, with major indexes hovering at record levels after a pair of economic datapoints painted a mixed picture of the market fundamentals.
A reading of consumer confidence unexpectedly fell to its weakest level since June, causing investors to take profits after a recent rally, though third-quarter economic growth came in much stronger than expected.
The Commerce Department raised its estimate of third-quarter gross domestic product to a 3.9 percent annual pace from the 3.5 percent rate reported last month. Separately, November consumer confidence fell to 88.7 from October's revised 94.1. Expectations were for a reading of 96.
Markets are coming off a period of long-running strength. The S&P has closed higher in 12 of its last 14 sessions, and is up more than 13 percent from an intraday low in mid-October. Major indexes are coming off five-week streaks of gains.
"Valuations are a bit stretched, but as long as fundamentals continue to move forward investors will find a way to keep moving prices higher," said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank in Cleveland, Ohio. "I don't think we'll see anything to disrupt this move." Continuación...

By Lester Bernstein; Lester Bernstein worked for Time magazine from 1948 to 1958. He retired in 1982 as editor of Newsweek.
Published: February 26, 1989
J. RICHARD MUNRO COMES NATURALLY to the nice-guy ebullience he has projected in his 31-year career at Time Inc. But ask him about the chances that his company will be taken over, and the chairman and chief executive bristles like the ex-Marine he is:
''When and if an assault strikes us, we will strike back. We would do it with passion. We don't make cookies here. We create ideas. We feel strongly about what we do. We know what this company means to America. If anybody tried to take us over, they'd find there are a lot of people who wouldn't work for Jack the Ripper.''
The invasion of the company snatchers has yet to be sighted from the spacious, thickly carpeted command post high in the Time-Life Building in mid-Manhattan. Munro, 58 and only two years from retirement, spoke during the latest alert last fall. Takeover talk had spurred a 20 percent surge in Time Inc.'s stock price. Then, like the stock, it subsided. But the threat is built into the view from the 34th floor. In the era of the megatakeover, Time Inc. is chronically vulnerable, virtually alone among major media companies in not having a strong grip on its own stock. If it had not grown so big, it might well have been gobbled up long ago. But now, sheer size no longer seems its own defense, and Time Inc. cannot seem to outrun the risk of being victimized by its own success.
The company of Henry R. Luce, whose zeal for innovative journalism created Time, Life, Fortune and Sports Illustrated, has been transformed into a great prize of many plums. It stretches far beyond the original magazines, plus People and Money, whose staffs and their corporate echelon fill all but five floors of the 48-story building in Rockefeller Center. It is ''a superb collection of media franchises in key markets,'' in the phrase of Nicholas J. Nicholas Jr., 49, the corporation's president and Munro's protege and heir apparent.
Though vaster and vastly more profitable than ever, the Luce magazine empire is less than half as big as the conglomerate it has spawned. As of Jan. 1, it became a separately incorporated subsidiary, one of four that make up Time Inc., the others being Home Box Office, the nation's No. 1 pay television programmer; the American Television and Communication Corporation, the No. 2 cable TV system, and the newly incorporated Time Inc. Books, a passel of publishing houses that add up to the second-largest conglomerate in the book industry. In all, Time Inc. counted revenues of $4.5 billion in 1988, assuring its place at the high end of its own Fortune 500.
By modern corporate calculus, the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. For several years, based on the going prices for its choice assets, the company's breakup value has been roughly twice the price of its stock. It is a gap wide enough to drive a handsome deal through - whether by predator, white knight or management itself - and it has persisted despite years of successful efforts to drive up earnings per share. The company has used such means as buying back its own stock and switching capital (even its 45 percent ownership of its own building) into hotter acquisitions in its communications businesses. At the same time, a four-year round of layoffs and other cost-cutting has turned Time Inc.'s paternalistic, free-spending culture on its head.
The changing shape and character of Time Inc. have outflanked Henry Luce's own vision of it. In his will, Luce projected that the company would be ''principally a journalistic enterprise . . . operated in the public interest as well as the interest of its stockholders.''
That was the spirit in which he directed his executors and trustees to vote his stock. But at his death in 1967, it turned out that the ''proprietor,'' as his editors and writers called him, owned less than 15 percent of the com-pany's shares.
Luce's successors may be as deficient in his mandate as in the stock control that was supposed to sustain it. But to fend off raiders, they brandish his lofty dictum like garlic before vampires.
UNLIKE DICK MUNRO, WHO IS DESTINED, perhaps, to be the last Time Inc. chief executive officer with roots in publishing, Nick Nicholas has never worked on a magazine. But they are closely attuned, slim men of modest height who are in and out of each others' offices in shirtsleeves 10 times a day. They work closely with Gerald M. Levin, 49, a lawyer, who got the pioneering HBO off the ground. He became vice chairman last summer, in charge of strategy and the corporate staff.
''We've all grown up together here,'' says Munro, the one-time publisher of Sports Illustrated, who quickly identified Nicholas and Levin as comers when he joined the fledgling video group in 1971. ''When I picked Nick [ as president ] and not Jerry, that was a moment of great trauma for me, because they're both terribly qualified. Thank God Jerry decided he could live with that.'' It is commonly assumed that Levin will move into the No. 2 slot on Munro's retirement. ''That will be Nick's decision,'' says Munro. ''It would be presumptuous of me, if not stupid, to tell Nick how to build his team.'' At the fulcrum of power, Nick

Truck Collides with School Buses, Injures Four Students
Four students were injured in an accident involving a truck and five school uses.
Details about the School Bus Accident
The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that four students from Seminole High School were injured on Wednesday afternoon after they were involved in an accident in which a truck hit five school buses and caused minor damage, according to officials.
Three of the injured students were treated at the scene of the accident, which happened on County Road 46A and Old Lake Mary Road. One of the injured students was taken to a local hospital in unknown condition, according to a spokesperson from the Seminole County Public Schools.
The school buses were leaving Seminole High School in Sanford at about 1:30 p.m., when a truck that was hauling another three vehicle hit the school buses.
Apparently, the driver of the truck was completely unaware he had hit the buses, and was tracked down. Since being tracked down and notified, the driver of the truck has been completely cooperative with authorities.
Important Information about Accidents Involving Large Trucks

text: Medicaid expansion unlikely in Iowa House, GOP leaders say12:23 PM, Feb 12, 2013 | by Jason Noble | Expanding the Medicaid health-care program for Iowas poor is unlikely to advance in the Republican-led Iowa House, GOP leaders said Tuesday in a meeting with the Des Moines Registers editorial board.House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, said his chamber likely would pursue the continuation of an expiring health program for low-income Iowans, but could not support the more further-reaching expansion to Medicaid envisioned by President Barack Obamas Affordable Care Act.I dont right now see a scenario where we do the Medicaid expansion as defined in the ACA, Paulsen said.The expansion could add an estimated 150,000 Iowans to the Medicaid rolls, extending health insurance to single individuals without children and those at slightly higher income levels.The expiring program that Paulsen referenced as a potential focal point of legislative action on health care is the IowaCare program, which provides care to low-income individuals who dont qualify for Medicaid but which has more limited access points requiring, for instance, patients to travel to either Des Moines or Iowa City for specialty care. Funding for the program is due to expire later this year.Extending it is on the Republican agenda, Paulsen said, and that extension could reach a significant subset of the Iowans would be included in an expansion of Medicaid.I think well have that conversation, and try to make that system and the other Medicaid systems operate in a more effective fashion, Paulsen said.That view is basically in line with that of Gov. Terry Branstad, who has said Iowa should not expand Medicaid because of uncertainty over the federal governments ability to subsidize the program over the long term. But it conflicts with that of the Senates Democratic majority, which is pushing hard to write the expansion into law.As for the IowaCare extension, House Majority Leader Linda Upmeyer said a proposal was in the works and could come up for discussion soon.The 45-minute meeting between the leaders and the editorial board took place in Paulsens office at the Capitol, and covered topics ranging from health care to tax policy to the death penalty and a possible increase to Iowas fuel tax.On most of those issues, Paulsen and the others declined to forecast their legislative futures, noting that conversations are ongoing in the dynamic environment of the Capitol.This years session the third consecutive year in which control of the Legislature has been split between Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate has been unusually deliberate and focused, Paulsen said.There is not the flurry of activity that the Legislature has in years past, he said. I think its very focused, forward movement and I think were on target to get some very significant things done.The primary areas of activities, the leaders said, are education reform, which has dominated the first month of the legislative proceedings, and property tax reform, which is on deck for discussion perhaps as early as next week.Senate Minority Leader Bill Dix, R-Shell Rock, said the sharp focus was a result of the specific and focused demands lawmakers are hearing from Iowans in their districts.Were going to look for those opportunities to advance issues that create those kind of opportunities for Iowans, Dix said.

Love the rugs . . .
I ordered two of these rugs to go in a bedroom that was painted a grey/blue color with white trim. It looks great, feels great to walk on, and really dresses up our light oak floors. I couldn't be happier with the quality, design and workmanship of this product. I have looked at a LOT of area rugs while remodeling our home, and these are two of my favorites.

The 2016 Aston Martin Rapide four-door supercar has been launched in India at INR 3.29 crores (ex-showroom, Thane). The exclusive British automobile will be sold by Performance Cars (a unit of Infinity Cars), the official importer of Aston Martins in India.
The Rapide has been on sale in India for the last 5 years and has managed to be AM's best selling model in India with 50% of its sales volume coming from it. The updated car is expected to retain the popularity.
The 2016 model receives a revised front fascia with a larger grille and tweaked headlamps. Other changes include new exterior color options and interior trim options. The Rapide's stunning design, well executed interiors, four-door practicality and good ground clearance makes it the most popular Aston in India.

The 2016 Rapide can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in a scant 4.6 seconds before hitting a top speed of 306 kmph. An 8-speed transmission with paddle shifters sends all that power to the rear wheels. The range-topping Rapide S puts out an outrageous 560 PS.

San Francisco, Nov 6: Apple chief executive Steve Jobs has been named CEO of the decade on Thursday, Nov 5, by Fortune magazine.
The magazine report surveyed Job's achievements since he returned to Apple in 1997 after being ousted from the company he founded.
According to the report, it took him several years to get the company back in shape. Even as he introduced his long-term digital lifestyle strategy and the revolutionary iTunes software and music player in 2000, the company was facing bankruptcy.
It now has 34,000 employees and is valued at over $170 billion. He is the largest shareholder in the entertainment conglomerate.
"It's often noted that he's a showman, a born salesman, a magician who creates a famed reality-distortion field, a tyrannical perfectionist," the report added.

"That felt amazing. It's hard to explain how I really felt. It just put a smile on my face," said Marcus Smart of his introduction to a roaring Gallagher-Iba Arena crowd prior to the 15-minute scrimmage.
Smart finished with eight points, five assists and two rebounds in his first basketball appearance since announcing last April that he would return to Oklahoma State for his sophomore season.
"This is a great program, we have a lot of great players here that came back," said Smart. "We have an opportunity to do something special here and make history at Oklahoma State. I'm definitely glad I came back. A lot of people say I turned down (the NBA), but I didn't turn down anything; I just put it to the side."
Although the Black team rallied behind Brian Williams' 16 points for a 45-44 victory in the scrimmage, the night really belonged to the OSU fans, said Ford.
"This what was it was all about, just having fun tonight. It was fun for our players but more importantly it was for our fans; to get them jazzed up, get them excited," said Ford. "My talk before we went out to the team was to have fun, but this was for the fans. This is kind of the start of the new season, even though we've been going for about three weeks."
The introduction video impressed the more than 13,000 Cowboys fans but more importantly left a lasting impression on several of the recruits in town for the weekend, including 7-1 Andrew Fishler from Gulf Coast State College (Panama City, Fla.), 2015 five-star prospect Elijah Thomas, a 6-9 post player from Lancaster, Texas, and 2016 prospect Nate Morris, 6-9 from Lancaster, Texas.
Two OSU commits – 2014 point guard Jeff Newberry from New Mexico Junior College and 2015 four-star shooting guard Austin Grandstaff of Rockwall, Texas – also had their ears ringing from the noise level inside GIA.
"When i walked out I saw standing room only on the 200 level and up top, and that's what you want. That's exciting to see," said Ford. "I just hope it carries over to the games. I think everybody in that arena had a lot of fun tonight.
"It couldn't have went any better. I really appreciate what the Athletic Department did to put this on. They worked extremely hard to put this on and make this an exciting night for the students and the fans, and I think it was well worth it. I know we've been pumping it a lot but I think it lived up to what we were wanting."

RECALCITRANT roots and no time to apply hair color? A temporary touch-up that shampoos out can take the glare off gray and get you through the day (or longer). The basic principle is similar to using magic marker to fill in a nick on a shoe heel; you spot the gray and color over it. Hair care companies like Irene Gari offer touch-up products that look like wax crayons, lipsticks, mascaras and even combs and are priced from $4.99.
Avon's new Advance Techniques Grey Root Touch-up ($5.99) is applied with a brush like mascara and comes in three shades. The base of Oscar Blandi's new Root Touch-up and Highlighting Pen ($23) twists to release the color, which is dabbed onto the hair with a brush tip, and is available in five colors, including two shades for touching up highlights.
But other products can also do the trick. Kathy Galotti, color director for Louis Licari salons, suggests dry shampoos with color pigments, like Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder ($35). "Dry shampoos spray on, so they're often easier to use than wax crayons," she said. Mascara is a favorite with colorists, especially for auburn or dark hair. For brunettes and redheads, Brian Oliver, a New York City hairstylist, suggests foundation in a color for dark skin. Dab it onto your finger and blend it into the gray. And eye shadow in a neutral color can be brushed or smudged over grays for blondes or brunettes. "That's on old trick TV people use," Ms. Galotti said.Continue reading the main story

How to Be Prepared for Life's Problems
Stan Coffey
Proverbs 4:7-8
If I were to tell you that you could have anything that you want, that God would come down to you and say, I have been watching your life, you deserve a break today. You can have anything you want, you can have one wish. What would you wish for? Would it be to win the lottery? Well, for a lot of people it would. Would it be to have perfect health, would it be to have a new body? A new husband, a new wife? A lifetime supply of Hagen Daaz? There is no telling what some of you would wish for if God gave you one wish. It would be interesting to find out what you would wish for.
Well, there is a man in the Bible to whom God said I will grant you one request, ask anything of Me that you want and I will grant that request and do it for you. And the man asked for wisdom. He asked that God would make him wise. And God said, congratulations Solomon, you have asked for the key that unlocks all the doors to all my blessing, to all the happiness and joy that I intended life abundant to be on this earth for those of who follow Me. Solomon said God I want you to give me wisdom. As I am the King over Israel following my father, David, I want you to grant me insight and wisdom. And because he asked for this, God blessed him with many, many other things. And the book of Proverbs looks at the things that we confront in our daily life. It looks at family and career and success and failure and aging and conflict. So let's look at Proverbs 4:7-8 and talk about the message, "How To Be Prepared For Life's Problems", "How To Be Healthy, Wealthy, and Wise." Notice what it says.
Now it has been suggested and rightly so, that whenever the Bible mentions wisdom in the book of Proverbs, you can substitute the name Christ and you can put the name Christ there and it will make sense to you in New Testament age on the other side of the cross and the res ...

Konsortium has the honour of having a review title dedicated to it in capitals + the lowest rating I have ever given. HORRIBLE. I cannot even begin to express my frustration and disappointment at one of Singapore's most popular travel companies. One would think that given the number of people that have booked through them, they would have achieved a certain level of professionalism and quality control, but no.
I took their coach service to Melaka and back. The bus was old, had a stale smell of cigarette smoke that lingered, and dirty at parts. What topped my horrible experience all off was that the driver smoked in the bus. I was sitting at the front so you could probably imagine how unbearable the 5-hour plus long journey was. I had to cover my nose with my shirt and I was just so close to asking if the driver could stop smoking. On the return trip, the bus driver also took his own sweet time driving, gave us inaccurate rest stop allotted times, and wonderfully extended the journey back by close to 2 hours.
I was so frustrated with them that I actually wrote an email to them complaining about their lousy service but guess what? They didn't even bother to reply. Horrible, lousy, unprofessional. Once bitten, twice shy. Never ever dealing with them again.

There was once I missed the flight back from KL and had to rush to the bus terminal at KL to take the express bus back to Singapore. It was very last minute and I asked around but most of the buses were full.
Luckily for me, Konsortium got a bus that can still take a few more passengers. I quickly grabbed the ticket and boarded the bus. Normally, when I travelled by bus, I would choose companies like Transtar or Grassland.
When I boarded the bus, I knew I would be in for a rough journey because the bus was quite old and it felt dirty also. The front seats were all taken so I had to take the last row. I noticed just behind the last row seat was where the bus driver stored their cleaning equipment like broom and dustpan. I didn't think much of that, but after the bus started moving, I noticed a cockroach coming our from behind. It was lucky that I was not afraid of cockraoch, if it was my sister-in-law, she would have screamed and the whole bus would have been woken.

Comfortable enough ride to KL and other parts of Malaysia
For Singaporeans making the trip into Malaysia and more so KL, we are spoilt for choice. However, I must say that most of the times I choose the bus ride to KL I end up taking Konsortium. Reason being I find that their buses while not the newest are still clean and rather comfy.
They also play really cheesy and old movies that are hilarious. It is a nice respite on the way there after dozing in and out of sleep during the ride up to our neighbour Malaysia. Service at the ticket point is also quick and efficient and I always get a bottle of water. haha. Good value for money service!
