Number of Uber job openings in Europe
Primarily in the Netherlands and UK
The upstart ride hailing company is posting far fewer jobs for Europe, comparatively, then for Asia or North America. Uber job postings number in the double digits only in two countries: the United Kingdom (20) and the Netherlands (52).
France, where cabbies rioted on June 25 to protest the incursion of Uber's competing service UberPop, was showing only a handful of job openings among listings for corporate jobs on Uber's website. Combined, the UK and the Netherlands account for more than 60% of Uber's job listings on the continent.
For the Netherlands, this amount of openings is a big jump compared to earlier this year: the current number of openings is over twice that of January's. The majority of other European countries have seen no new job openings in the last couple of months. Aside from the Netherlands, the UK and Poland are showing growth: in these countries this month has seen more than a few additional job openings.

Nobody who works hard should be poor in America, writes Pulitzer Prize-winner David Shipler. Clear-headed, rigorous, and compassionate, he journeys deeply into the lives of individual store clerks and factory workers, farm laborers and sweat-shop seamstresses, illegal immigrants in menial jobs, and Americans saddled with immense student loans and paltry wages. They are known as the working poor.
They perform labor essential to America's comfort. They are white and black, Latino and Asian - men and women in small towns and city slums trapped near the poverty line, where the margins are so tight that even minor setbacks can cause devastating chain reactions. Shipler shows how liberals and conservatives are both partly right - that practically every life story contains failure by both the society and the individual. Braced by hard fact and personal testimony, he unravels the forces that confine people in the quagmire of low wages. And unlike most works on poverty, this book also offers compelling portraits of employers struggling against razor-thin profits and competition from abroad.
With pointed recommendations for change that will challenge Republicans and Democrats alike, The Working Poor stands to make a difference.
"This is one of those seminal books that every American should read and read now." (The New York Times Book Review)
"The Working Poor... should be required reading not just for every menber of Conbress, but for every eligible voter." (Washington Post Book World)
"The 'working poor' ought to be an oxymoron, because no one who works should be impoverished. In this thoughtful assessment of poverty in twenty-first century America, David Shipler shows why so many working Americans remain poor, and offers a powerful guide for how to resuscitate the American dream. A tour de force of a forgotten land." (Robert B. Reich, University Professor, Brandeis University, and former U.S. Secretary of Labor)

A Must Read Book for the Middle-Class
Yes, because there are many statistics and stories in it that I'd like to reference to others.
Ruby Payne's The Culture of Understanding Poverty
He did a fine job at voicing the various people highlighted in the book. Consequently, it was easy to keep them apart.
The part about the under-nourished children and day-care issues for working/welfare mothers was heart-rending. Shame on us for allowing this to happen in a country where we have so much.
The Working Poor very carefully explains the multitude of obstacles interfering with chronically poor American's inability to work their way into the middle class. Even though many of these deterrents are self-imposed, they are handicaps nevertheless. He also offers some sound solutions and inspirational programs that give a hand up and not just a hand out.

[Excerpt] Labor rights advocates in the United States and allied organizations abroad attempting to establish international fair labor standards run up against traditional notions of sovereignty in formulating national labor policies and development strategies. In the same way that entrenched sovereignty principles gradually yielded to international human rights claims after World War E, sovereignty is now being challenged by claims of international laborrights in the field of employment standards and industrial relations.
This Article seeks to illuminate this challenge to sovereignty in two case studies of labor rights advocacy. Part I sets the stage with an overview of the growing importance of labor rights and labor standards as the world economy shifts from a nation-based economy to a single, global economy. Part II examines the case studies: the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and Guatemala. NAFTA is a case study of advocacy to establish fair international labor standards. The Guatemala case study exemplifies advocacy by U.S. labor rights supporters on behalf of workers and trade unions in Guatemala, where recourse is sought through worker rights provisions in U.S. trade laws and through a litigation strategy that views U.S. courts as a forum for asserting international labor rights claims.

New Delhi: An ordinance empowering the Reserve Bank of India was recommended on Wednesday, by the cabinet asking banks to act against top 20-25 loan defaulters.
Once Pranab Mukherjee clears the ordinance, the detailed package will be announced in a day or two, which includes several months of consultation reports between RBI, government and bankers, TOI reported.
The main concern is to empower the regulator for specific instruction, moreover, the government can also advise RBI on some cases.
Public sector banks have Rs 6 lakh crore as bad debts, impacting the finances of several lenders. Steps have been taken earlier as well to restore the health of banks but, they seemed to be inadequate.
Banks are fearful of settlement packages because of adverse remarks from Central Vigilance commission and the Comptroller & Auditor General, in addition to facing scrutiny from investigative agencies such as CBI.
The government and RBI are looking to strengthen the current corporate debt restructuring mechanism as a reconstructive measure, that allows them to convert more than 10% of their loans into equity and also provides for a strengthened oversight mechanism. At present, there is a two-member oversight committee comprising former CVC Pradeep Kumar and ex-vigilance commissioner Janaki Ballabh.
Finance minister Arun Jaitley said that the Cabinet had taken certain decision for dealing with the bad debts, "there is a convention that when some proposal is referred to the President, then details of it cannot be disclosed till it is approved. As soon as the approval comes, details will be shared."
Banks petitioned Jaitley against some of the measures in RBI's NPA reduction plan as the Scheme for Sustainable Structuring of Stressed Assets, or S4A, does not allow increasing the tenure of the loan or change in interest rates, restraining the lenders to rework loans. "It is difficult to restructure loans under these circumstances," a banker told.

SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – San Francisco officials have been cooking up unique plans to feed the thousands of refugees they assume will need assistance in the days after a disaster strikes.
Earthquake preparedness is a timely topic in San Francisco, as the city prepares to mark the 107th anniversary of the great '06 quake on April 18.
Geologists have long warned that it's not a question of if but when the next big temblor will happen in the region. Predictions are that it could wreak just as much havoc as the 1906 earthquake, if not more.

While many of us are shivering in our wellies, Team WWKD is dreaming of beach weather! We are ecstatic to finally, after two years, share with you the style and designer of Kate's nearly-infamous honeymoon bikini.
In April 2011, William and Kate departed on a 10-day honeymoon in the Seychelles Islands. However, the paparazzi could not be kept at bay. A keen cameraman (or woman!) managed to snap photographs of the newly married couple on the beach. Pictures of the trip were not published until 2012, when they were released by Australia's Women's Day. The "exclusive" photographs featured William and Kate enjoying their honeymoon like a normal couple would. Royal watchers searched and searched for the suit ever since, with little result.
We were so excited to learn that Kate's bikini top was finally found! Kate's black bandeau-style suit with metal detail is by Australian beachwear designer Seafolly. The suit was part of their 2009 Goddess collection. It featured a ruched bandeau top, halter tie from the center, and gold metal detail. The metal detail featured four circles in the center with a teardrop shape on the top and bottom. The shape, size, and placement of the metal details is almost exact. The top was released in black and white. The top was available with numerous matching bottoms, with the most likely option seen above.
Seafolly is sold in numerous stores in London, including John Lewis. The suit was available in stores in 2009 and 2010. It is very likely Kate (while still Miss Middleton!) purchased the suit in store on one of her frequent trips to John Lewis or Peter Jones. The brand can also be found online at ASOS, where the Duchess has been known to shop.
We cannot take credit for this incredible ID. The lovely Ashley Marie came to us with the top, and after contacting Seafolly on Facebook and studying the pictures of the suits very closely there was no doubt. Due to the low quality photograph and color enhancements made by the magazine, you may notice some slight variations but we are confident that this is the exact suit. Ashley is something of an ID "expert," often locating hard-to-find items Kate has worn, both past and recent. Ashley can be found chatting on WKW's Facebook page or on Twitter. She deserves a serious congratulations for such an amazing find!
Its worth noting that we don't believe Kate bought the suit specifically for her honeymoon, unless she had serious foresight! The suit would have been sold out or hard to find by the time her engagement was announced. Its nice to think that she took a much-loved suit on her glamorous honeymoon, rather than buying one for such a special occassion!
The suit has since sold out, but Ashley found this fantastic repliKate suit from the name brand. The style, color, details and cut are incredibly similar! This would be perfect for your mid-winter escape to Mustique.
If that doesn't work for you, check out these other repliKate tops and bottoms for your next day at the beach. We are all dreaming of Mustique this time of year, fighting the bitter cold with visions of beaches, yachts, and bikinis.

Unlike bull markets, which require time for investors to climb walls of worry on each up-leg, bear markets typically play out faster to the downside. The bear market of 2010-2011 should be no different. We feel this way for the following ten reasons.
- The underlying thesis for our bearishness is quite simple: with debt issues metastasizing in Europe, discontent with Washington's ineffectiveness growing by the day, and consumer confidence plunging to 30-year lows, the valuations that investors are willing to place on risky assets, i.e. stocks, have moved lower. While certainly the cheapest in years, the market's current P/E of 12 is not cheap enough to mark an ultimate bear market bottom. Eventually the market's P/E will trend down into the single digits just as they do at the end of every secular bear market for equities. This process will require a few years, resulting in many fits and starts as investors fight this trend.
- While it is true that we are oversold and extended to the downside (the S&P 500 could very easily bounce back above 1,200 and move toward 1,225-1,250 in the next few weeks), this bounce will fail. Even with the recent slide in stocks, professional investor sentiment remains overly bullish. Doug Kass, Laszlo Birinyi, and Abby Joseph Cohen (check out her revised 1,400 year-end target for the S&P 500 in this weekend's edition of Barrons!) remain ardent bulls. With these pros and others buying into the "current correction", in time, these investors will help fuel another down-leg when they change their bullish tune and recognize that they are wrong.
- This is a global bear market. Brazil, China, and the European bourses are leading the U.S. lower. We expect this trend to continue. In the very near-term, Europe's markets rallied after short-selling was banned in a number of countries. When the buying dries up and with no shorts to provide buying power on the way down, we feel that this removal of the shorts will backfire for Europe just as it did in the U.S. a few years ago. Here is what Jim Chanos had to say on this matter late last week: "EU policy makers don't seem to understand the law of unintended consequences. The vast majority of short-selling financial shares is by other financial institutions, hedging their counterparty risks, not speculators. The interbank lending market froze up completely in October to December 2008 – after the short-selling bans."
- Do not expect a quick fix from Tuesday's summit between Germany and France. This weekend, Germany rejected calls by Italian Finance Minister Tremonti for the creation of Euro-bonds which would effectively make individual governments' debt a common burden. Germany's Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaueble quickly rejected this plan in Der Spiegel: "I rule out euro bonds for as long as member states conduct their own financial policies, and we need differing interest rates so that there are possibilities of incentive and sanctions to force fiscal solidity." Ultimately, Germany will have to make a choice to either backstop Italy and Spain or let them default on their debt. With many in Merkel's inner circle recommending that she steer away from eventually rescuing Italy because such actions could put Germany's own banking system in peril, we feel that Germany will ultimately let Italy go. Perhaps this is why interbank lending has begun to materially slow down in Europe and why Bridgewater Associates released the following short note on Thursday: "There is an uncomfortably high probability that there will be an unmanaged banking and sovereign-debt crisis in Europe."
- Listen to Bert Dohmen, the editor of The Wellington Letter. Bert has had a tremendous track record of forecasting recessions and bear markets. According to Bert, we entered a recession in May and profit forecasts for the second half of this year are too high and will be revised lower. In a recent interview on CNBC, Bert gave his market thoughts.
- If one noted technician's bearish call was not enough, take note of another's: Stan Weinstein, who many consider one of the all-time greats of technical analysis, gave a bear market alert to his subscribers when all of the major indexes broke below their 200-day Simple Moving Averages in early August. According to Stan, there has been inordinate damage done to the market's underlying technical structure. Having just moved into what Stan labels as stage 4, or the declining phase, this bear market has just begun and will need time to run its course.
- China's economy is slowing down rapidly. At some point, investors will turn their attention here. When they do, they will not like what they see. Just look at some recent stats on China's economy: China's bank lending slowed down rather sharply in July to a 7-month low; China's money supply growth recently fell to a 6-year low; China's July auto sales were extremely weak. While they rose 6.7 percent in July, the rise was well below expectations and the growth seen last year. Could these economic numbers explain why Brazil's stock market is one of the worst in the world this year and why the materials ETF, Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEARCA:XLB), plunged 16% from its early August highs?
- Small-caps are leading the way lower in the U.S. While so many market pundits continue to try to buy the dip and call a bottom for stocks in various interviews the past 72 hours, not one of them has made mention of how small-caps have already moved into bear-market territory. Just as small-caps lead the bull market on the way up, they are leading on the way down. This is a very bearish sign.
- The consumer is about to retrench in a meaningful way. Those bullish surely looked at July's retail sales as a cause for celebration. However, these shoppers were gleefully shopping before their stock accounts plunged this month. Perhaps we should therefore give more attention to Friday's plunge in consumer confidence to 30-year lows! With the consumer 70% of our economy, a move upwards in the savings rate to 7-8% will ultimately translate into much slower growth for the economy. Slower growth means lowered earnings expectations for Q3 and Q4 and for 2012. Lowered numbers leads to lower valuations and ultimately to lower prices for stocks.
- The individual investor is done with stocks. Ordinarily, this would be a positive contrarian sign. Considering that mutual funds remain fully invested and at historical lows for cash levels, however, the fact that individual investors pulled $11 billion from stock mutual funds last week is quite troubling.
This trend seems destined to accelerate in the coming months, forcing mutual fund managers to sell more stocks to meet the calls for cash from their investors. Considering that tax-selling is just around the corner for professional and individual investors, this dearth of buying power will eventually force stock prices lower.
When we objectively take note of the aforementioned considerations, we remain quite bearish of stocks for at least the next 3-6 months. Because bear market rallies are sharp, vicious, and short-lived, we plan on patiently selling into this rally by going long the ProShares UltraShort Russell 2000 ETF (NYSEARCA:TWM), for the accounts we oversee. We remain buyers of the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSEARCA:GLD) on pullbacks and have begun to slowly deploy money into select gold mining stocks with an eye toward their eventual break outs later this year/early next.
We also remain long two inflection point plays that most investors have never heard of before: Dynatronics (NASDAQ:DYNT) and eGain Communicatiosn (NASDAQ:EGAN). With various catalysts approaching for both companies, including a potentially forthcoming lucrative and game-changing G.P.O. contract win for Dynatronics later this fall, we feel that both stocks will be much higher a year from now.
In conclusion, bear markets should not be feared as they will ultimately reward patient investors with bargain buys. Instead of being feared, bear markets should rather be respected. For us, that means understanding that now is the time for patience and discipline and not for aggressively buying into a bear market that is only three weeks old.

I read an interesting study today; a disturbing, inspiring, insightful study.
Psychologists in Chicago found that babies aged nine months could tell when two people were disagreeing through facial features and voice tone. Nine months old.
We know that children are observant, insightful and sensitive – even from a very young age. But the reason I find this study disturbing is because of the number of couples I know have challenges at home.
It's easy to think the kids won't notice. It's easy to put off getting help because you have 'other priorities'. It's easy to think you can put up with it 'just until the kids leave home'.
But I have to ask: What are you teaching your children about relationships?
What this study is saying is that even at 9 months old children notice – we're wired to pay attention to the relationships around us.
They might not understand the context or the words, but what this study shows is they understand when something isn't right between two people. We also know from neurobiology that early relationships and the household situation affect the way a child's brain develops. This will in turn affect the way they cope with emotions, challenges, situations, and form relationships throughout their life.
Think about the kind of relationship you want for your child when they are an adult. Is that the kind of relationship you're living at the moment?
What are your tone of voice and involuntary facial features telling your child about how you feel even before they can understand the words that go with it?
How often do you argue? How often is there tension in the air? How often do you show affection to each other?
Putting off going to marriage counselling or sex therapy is a valid choice, especially when there are bills to pay and the kids want an iPad for Christmas. It can feel like it's not the 'right time' or it's better to just 'get ahead' a little more first. But the longer tensions exist, the harder they are to fix. And my hunch is that as much as you try to hide it, your children have a fairly good idea.
Staying together 'until the kids leave home' is a noble ideal and one that has many benefits. Of course we want our children to grow up in a home with both their parents living in it. But staying together 'just for the children' also has consequences.
If you are experiencing challenges in your relationship, ask yourself what you're teaching your children about their relationships. And take action. You have the power to show them something different.

Obama's Cap and Trade Policy: More Costly Collectivism
The another step in Obama's agenda for advancing state power and economic collectivism in America is his carbon "cap and trade policy," under which the government will formally nationalize the atmosphere above the United States and make businesses buy permits to emit carbon dioxide into the air.
I discuss the consequences of this policy in a new piece of mine on, "Obama's Carbon Cap and Trade Policy is Costly for Consumers."
The White House hopes to use this stealth tax under the name of selling emission permits to raise over $650 billion (or much more) in government revenue to help fund the administration's planned and huge increase in redistributive, welfare state activities.
It will impose a huge cost on business and consumers that may lower by one percent or more annual GDP and consumer standards of living for years to come. The resulting higher costs for many consumer goods would be be equal to a $1,100 tax on a family of four in 2010. These costs would continue to rise and would increase to $3,000 on that family of four in 2050 (in inflation-adjusted dollars).
At the same time it will dramatically cause a redirection of jobs across the economy that would have no relationship to the distribution of employment in a free market with strict property rights to internalize externalities.
If passed and implemented, it would a further step on Obama Administration's march toward the planned economy.

Published: Thursday 15th January 2015 by The News Editor
Ian Bell appears to have inked his name into England's World Cup batting order, but coach Peter Moores admits his recall as opener was touch and go.
Bell sat out the last five one-day matches in Sri Lanka before Christmas, with Moeen Ali, Alex Hales and captain Alastair Cook all preferred at the top of the innings.
But Cook's poor form saw him dropped and created a vacancy alongside the impressive Moeen.
Bell edged out the more aggressive Hales to earn first crack at the spot in Australia and responded with 51 and 187 – an England one-day record – in the two warm-up fixtures.
Going into Friday's Carlton Mid Tri-Series opener against Australia, England appear to have called right, but Moores did not come to the answer easily.
"It was always going to be a tight decision because Alex is a really good player," said Moores.
"We said all along we've got good players so all those decisions are going to be tight and of course you always feel for the guy that misses out.
"But you've got to make a choice and we chose to go with Belly and Moeen.
"We had to pick what we thought was the best opening partnership, Moeen and Belly got that, and the order was picked. We played it in the two games for a reason, to get it settled with a view to playing it on Friday."
Moores was ultimately swayed by Bell's vast experience, a trait that sets him aside from Moeen and new number three James Taylor.
Bell boasts 150 ODI caps, while Moeen, Taylor and Hales share a total of 25.
"I think you've heard (captain) Eoin Morgan speak about putting that experience figure in the team and Belly is a really good player," said Moores.
"We know we wanted to look at Moeen in Sri Lanka, which we did, and with Alastair moving on that spot became available. So it seemed a good fit, especially with James Taylor at three, to put that experience in there.
"Belly's played in World Cups before, played in big games before and he gets an opportunity first and obviously he's taken it in the warm-up matches."
Bell's lengthy international CV does beg one significant question, with three one-day hundreds a modest return on his talent and number of appearances.
He vowed to change that after his mammoth ton against the Prime Minister's XI and his coach expects the same.
Moores said: "His record over the last two years as an opening batter is very good so he'll want to keep getting better, he'll want to score bigger and more significant scores.
"It's not been something that's been a great trait with England batters over the years, compared to some countries, so it's an area we want to get better at."

We stayed 1 night prior to leaving on a cruise. The hotel room was rather large and had a full kitchen. The room and furnishings were clean and modern. I used points to book this room which was a good deal. The hotel offers free internet and breakfast. There is a parking lot directly across the street from the hotel but there is a charge. We took a taxi to the cruise port in the morning - we offered the driver $10 and he accepted althought the standard rate is a little more for 2 people. I think it was $7 per person. We walked to the French Quarter from the hotel. The casino is only a block away. We took the shuttle at the airport for $20 a person to the hotel. A taxi ride is approximately $38 from the airport to the hotel.

With Caroline supposedly out for Season 6 of the Real Housewives of New Jersey, it seems the path may be clear for her estranged sister, Dina, to re-join the cast. According to In Touch magazine, multiple sources claim that Dina is in "serious talks" to return to the show after being off for the past three seasons. Another insider explains "Dina Manzo's return to the show is all but a done deal." Sounds like Dina's husband Tommy (Albert Manzo's brother) will not be returning to the show as he and Dina are currently separated.
Dina's return is sure to mix up the RHONJ dynamic. As the In Touch insider explains, she's an "ally" to Teresa Giudice and she has remained a strong supporter of Joe and Teresa in the midst of their legal woes.
Would you like to see Dina return to the show? Do you think it's a good trade: Dina for Caroline? Or, will you just miss Caroline?

3 Steps to Business Card Printing
Business card printing is a typical commercial printing product which goes through mostly the same process as almost all other commercially printed materials. In fact, only some steps in the process differs for each and every product, and if you want to have some high quality business cards that have a generally effective card design, you do need to go through most if not all of these steps. It is much simpler to divide the entire process into three basic steps, three steps which would be able to cover everything that happens between the request and the delivery of business cards.
Narrow down your information. With the desire to make the most out of the money you spend, you would most likely wish to cram as much information as you can within the relatively small area of your custom business card. You should realize now that this is not the most efficient approach to printing business cards, simply because this commercially printed product is meant for containing only the most basic information like name and contact details. Business cards are not the same as a resume, and you will have to narrow down the information you want printed if you want to print more than just the bare essentials. This is a simple enough, and you should not have much trouble getting through this part down.
Choose a design. This is perhaps the most generic step two of every commercial printing process for any product, which is why this is also the second step for printing professional business cards. You can go with practically any design: black and white, full color, pictures, plain, etc. The term "custom business cards" is exactly what it is, which means that you have the full control and authority over how your business cards will turn out. Make sure, though, to choose a design which would be the most effective in selling you or your business to potential customers and clients, because good designs change from person to person and what works for one does not always work for others.
Proofread, edit, and wait. This step is particularly crucial with business cards so it would take the step three slot. Many people do not really expect things to go wrong with printing business cards especially in the form of typographical errors and spelling errors, but these things do happen from time to time when a person gets too complacent. A business card is small and potential clients will not have a hard time finding little mistakes in your card, so save yourself the embarrassment and the opportunity lost and be sure to proofread well. If all goes well, you can send in the final draft for printing and then all you have to do is wait for the delivery date.
Here are the three simple steps to business card printing that people should always take into account. Yes, these steps may seem particularly obvious, but it is better to repeat them over and over again than forgetting them entirely and making huge mistakes in the future with your business cards in the future.

|A healthy lifestyle : the attitudes and experiences of African-Caribbean adolescents and their families in West Yorkshire

|Date of Award:
|Availability of Full Text:
This study explores the attitudes and experiences of African-Caribbean adolescents and their families towards a healthy lifestyle. Findings from the study highlighted a number of contrasting multidimensional factors that either facilitated or limited the choices for a healthy lifestyle. This is particularly significant since research on African-Caribbean families has usually failed to take into account the central aspects of their life experiences. The study took an ethnographic perspective, which provided the opportunity of making African-Caribbean lives visible and placing them as participants, rather than subjects or victims. This was central for acknowledging and understanding their attitudes and experiences towards a healthy lifestyle. The main finding was that for African-Caribbean families everyday life is inseparable from a healthy lifestyle. In the management of everyday life, adolescents and their families interacted with a range of resources, which were socially, economically, historically and culturally structured. The resources became the medium through which attitudes and experiences for a healthy lifestyle were negotiated, articulated and practised. Some of these resources, such as spirituality, strength of African-Caribbean identity, familylkin systems, values and beliefs were described as facilitating the individuals' experiences of a healthy lifestyle. In this context, poor educational outcomes, socio-economic disadvantages, racism and discrimination, failure to recognise and appreciate the individual's identity, values and beliefs constrained and limited the options to practise a healthy lifestyle. The analysis of these factors allowed a conceptualisation of the reality of African-Caribbean families' way of life. The study concludes by suggesting that the intricate connection between healthy lifestyles and the prevailing African-Caribbean life situation must be recognised. For these families, social and economic disadvantages including the effects of racism, discrimination and its effects of social exclusion were real and relevant. These were important areas for an understanding and explanation of how contemporary African-Caribbean families' lives are constructed and how this affects their participation in a healthy lifestyle. Since the issues were multidimensional, individualised and collective, the strategies facilitating African-Caribbeans to live a healthy lifestyle must reflect the complexity of their life experiences. In addition, future research and actions on African-Caribbeans' needs should take cognisance of the multidimensional and contextual nature of their history and life experiences.

Be Honest, Do You Use Princess Math?
What is princess math? Your favourite department store is having a half price sale. The gift was originally $200 but you are saving $100. Princess math says -- I was going to spend $200 anyway so now I can buy that purse. The reality is, though, most women aren't flush with money. The problem is that deep down, we know our actions have consequences.

Okay okay, it's not quite as cool as his victory tweet, but US president Barack Obama's email to his supporters prior to his victory speech is pretty powerful.
The incumbent appears to have won by a much larger margin than many would have predicted, with analysts currently giving him 303 electoral college votes to Mitt Romney's 206.
As was the case with the tweets he sent out upon victory, Obama thanks his supporters for getting him back into the White House. "You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time", he says.
He also suggest that his re-election is a victory for the American people over "powerful interests":
From: Barack Obama email@example.com
Date: Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 8:41 PM
Subject: How this happened
Friend –
I'm about to go speak to the crowd here in Chicago, but I wanted to thank you first.
I want you to know that this wasn't fate, and it wasn't an accident. You made this happen.
You organized yourselves block by block. You took ownership of this campaign five and ten dollars at a time. And when it wasn't easy, you pressed forward.
I will spend the rest of my presidency honoring your support, and doing what I can to finish what we started.
But I want you to take real pride, as I do, in how we got the chance in the first place.
Today is the clearest proof yet that, against the odds, ordinary Americans can overcome powerful interests.
There's a lot more work to do.
But for right now: Thank you.

Chennai: Nalini Sriharan, serving life sentence in the Rajiv Gandhi assassination case, was today granted one-day parole by the Madras High Court for attending the 16th day obsequies of her father, who died last month.
She had filed a petition seeking three days leave from today for attending the obsequies of her father, who passed away last month.
The 16th day obsequies of her father are scheduled to be held at Kottur here tomorrow, she submitted.
Justice R Mala, before whom the plea came up, granted her 24-hour parole starting from today at 4 PM to 4 PM tomorrow.
The judge said she should be under police escort and be brought back to prison by 4 PM tomorrow.
In her petition, Nalini submitted that she had made a representation on March 2 to the Superintendent of Special Prison for Women in Vellore, where she is lodged, seeking three days leave but the official had not responded.
She said she was granted parole for 12 hours on February 24 to attend the cremation of her father Sankaranarayanan.
Nalini was sentenced to death by the trial court in the case on January 28, 1998. Her sentence was commuted to life term by the Tamil Nadu Governor on April 24, 2000.
Nalini granted one-day parole
Chennai, March 8 (IANS) Nalini Sriharan, one of the convicts serving life term for her role in the assassination of former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, was granted one-day parole on Tuesday by the Madras High Court.
She applied for three days' parole to attend to her father's memorial prayer.
The court granted her parole for 24 hours to attend her father's memorial prayer on March 9.
Last month, Nalini was granted 12 hours' parole to attend her father's funeral held here. She is lodged in Vellore prison, around 150 km from here.
Nalini was sentenced to death by a special court for her involvement in Gandhi's assassination at Sriperumbudur near Chennai on May 21, 1991.
The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment after Sonia Gandhi, the former prime minister's widow, petitioned for clemency — for the sake of Nalini's daughter.
Nalini, an Indian, had accompanied the Sri Lankan woman suicide bomber who blew up Rajiv Gandhi with concealed explosives.
Nalini, who was a close friend of an LTTE operative known as Murugan, who too is an accused in the case, later gave birth to a girl in prison.

Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain to return to Tralee for 10-year reunion
It's been 10 years since Aoibhinn Ni Shuilleabhain was crowned the Rose of Tralee and she's set to reunite with her fellow Roses this weekend.
The Mayo native is one of the best-known winners, having developed a career in the media and completing a doctorate in maths from TCD.
"There's loads of girls from 2005 who are coming back from America with their kids and their husbands, so it's going to a massive reunion of all the escorts and Roses.
"It'll be so nice to catch up with everyone, we really had the best time," she added.
Aoibhinn is the picture of poise now, but she admits she had never worn high heels before taking to the Dome stage in Tralee.
"I lived in my Doc Martens when I was in secondary school. I had blue hair for a while, red hair - we went to Pearl Jam and Metallica concerts," she told Breakfast Republic on 2fm.
"I didn't get rid of my Docs until I went to Tralee. It was my first time wearing heels," she added.
"I was like 'How can I walk in these, this is crazy'."
The 32-year-old is a maths lecturer in UCD and admits she does get "nervous" before classes.
"It's like performing, so you always get a bit nervous when you have a new class or a new set of students," she said.
"I love what I do because I want to help everybody learn maths by graduating those qualified maths teachers."

Cottage Love #60 - Lulu Dk's home
I was searching for art last weekend for a client. (a favorite thing to do) and I popped over to Lulu Dk's site.

We've all seen her charming home over the years but today I'm sharing her home tour from a while back with OKL. She shares her home with her husband and three sons.

Love the look - Thanksgiving day
Thanksgiving seems to (well really Halloween) kick off the excuse to indulge in lots of goodies! As I mentioned, I am hosting this year. I need to look cute but still be comfortable. As we all know, the amount of running around entertaining entails. This year, I am opting for a pretty light blouse, leather pants with a little elastic in the waste (god I sound old) waste of course, and flats. I've created two looks, one is a bit more casual and less expensive than the other. Now I just need to make sure that I don't accidentally dip my sleeves in the gravy. I don't know about you, but I love this time of year and tend to splurge! (a little too much maybe)...Olivia always looks perfect, doesn't she?
1. My holiday nail color!!

Dental Chic
I've been loving soft feminine color palettes mixed with rich grey lately. Summer Thornton never disappoints with her unpredictable color palettes and talent for beautifully combining furniture, objects and finishes. Here is a dental office she designed. I suppose if you need a crown you may as well feel like a queen while getting it. What I love most is every element would translate well in a home. Now, I am curious what they charge for a cleaning??? See more images and Summer's gorgeous work here.

While my kids were getting ready for school this a.m. I taught them the beauty of the word "Friyay".
Although I have my own business and feel blessed to love my job, I am always happier to see a Friday am than a Monday one! I had a great work week, I'm designing some pretty cool projects right now. I've been doing lots of brainstorming and creative thinking. Here's what made the love list this week! Cheers. xo
1. Ann Taylor has the prettiest little shoe collection. These kitten heeled cuties are perfect for work and casual holiday parties.
2. Sezane has opened a NY store! How sweet are the feminine design details?
3. Words to live by.
4. + 5. I've been really into learning more about women artists who lived and honed their skills during the mid-late 20th century. Helen Frakenthaler was one that I have been reading up one. I may use one of her prints as the starting point for a fresh design in my daughter's room.
6. I am looking forward to hosting Thanksgiving this year. I'll be sharing my table scheme ideas next week!
7. I love everything about this photo. I adore braids, this one is perfection.
8. I've got the feels for Marc Jacob's snapshot bags. There are so many to choose from.

Hello, hello. I've missed you all. I am not going to sugar coat it, life can be scary and sad. I wasn't up for much blogging last week but I think it is also a good distraction, so I am back at it today. Work is also going very well, so that is a positive......Here are some of my top pins from the past couple of weeks! Thank you for stopping in, have a great day. xoxoxo
1. THIS. I am guilty of it. Nothing is ever going to be perfect, so try to see the positive, be thankful for the good, enjoy the ride, stay strong for others you love and get through the sad with your tribe.

A friend of mine who travels alot gave me a good tip. We were at the Surf Expo in Orlando (its the tradeshow sponsored by SIMA). He was on a mission, scarfing every sticker in sight, sometimes stacks of them. I asked him if he still thought he was 13, and he said he gives them to kids when he travels to Costa Rica, and gets friendly nods and respect when he paddles out. I always do a little beach clean up when I travel, even in-state to show respect to the place.
Another friend of mine used to get RonJon stickers and put them on the cars of hardcore locals, just to piss them off when they parked in his driveway without asking during swells. That and rainbow stickers.

Write a letter to the companies you want stickers from.
When I was in college I built a mini ramp in my living room, reached out to ERGO and told them we throw parties every week. Whoever was inside sales sent me the following
A 3'x8' banner (still hangs in my current apartment)
Bunch of T-Shirts
50 bumper stickers
5 giant ramp stickers
ERGO rocks in my book!
Jetty hands out free stickers at all of our events. You can also send in a self-addressed, stamped envelope with a note, and we'll send a pack of stickers back.
Make sure it's a big envelope !

I was a pretty die hard snowboarder for a few years. Loved northwave boots, so i just wrote them and told them i only buy their boots even while all my buddies only rock 32's. And they sent me an envelope full of the stickers.

This season's warmth is a ray of sunshine for local businesses.
After weathering last year's record-low temperatures and a chilly January, resorts and other businesses are reporting that tourists are fleeing the cold for fun in the sun.
"It was like someone flipped a switch when the weather finally turned great in mid-February," said Mary Kay Ryan, director of sales at the Longboat Key Club and Resort.
At the Key Club, call volume increased by 150 calls a week mid-February. Typically, anywhere from 26% to 30% of inquiries are converted to reservations, but some weeks, the rate has been as high as 43% to 44%. March bookings are currently 12% ahead of March of last year.
At the 106-unit Casa del Mar, General Manager D.M. Williams said that this year's fiscal year, which began Oct. 1, is running slightly ahead of last year's, and that demand is picking up.
"We've been taking a lot of reservations with the weather the way it is," Williams said. "Probably by the middle of February, I could hear the phones ringing more."
Karen Rangel, regional director of sales at Ocean Properties Ltd., which owns the Longboat Key Hilton Beachfront Resort, Lido Beach Resort and Holiday Inn Lido Beach, estimated that bookings for March and April at all three properties are up by approximately 10% from last year.
"I think Mother Nature plays a huge role in this when you think of all the cold weather they were getting up North and the fact that the weather here has been nothing short of delightful," Rangel said.
The warm temperatures have been good for other businesses.
Lazy Lobster Longboat Key owner Michael Garey said that this season, he has been able to seat diners at the restaurant's outdoor terrace, something that last year's weather prevented until April. As a result of the additional seats, the restaurant currently serves 450 dinners per night, compared to 275 to 300 last year.
"The terrace being available for an additional six weeks has been a major increase in business," Garey said.
St. Armands Circle Association Executive Director Diana Corrigan said that many business owners have told her that last month was their best February ever. Corrigan said that businesses have benefited from the weather, which has drawn visitors to the area, and the fact that customers are gradually beginning to spend again.
Longboat Limousine/Liquid Limousine/Suncoast Sedans owner Jimmy Seaton said that the warm weather has resulted in an increase in boat charters.
"As soon as the weather turned nice, we had a flood of boat charters," he said. "It was awful this time last year."
With last-minute bookings being the new normal at hotels, it's still too early to predict how strong this season's numbers will be. Spring-breakers used to book reservations three months in advance, according to Rangel. Now, they book a week or two before their vacations.
At the Key Club, Ryan said that guests often book last-minute stays once they have checked the weather forecast. But, she said that the last-minute traffic is also the result of a shift in who is visiting the area.
Although the Key Club has lured visitors from its traditional markets such as the Northeast and Midwest, it is also attracting Floridians who want a short getaway.
"We always pull from Florida, but not with the percentages that we see now," Ryan said.
The Easter effect
This year's Easter falls on April 24 — 20 days later than last year's Easter. So, will that impact this year's season?
At the Longboat Key Club, Director of Sales Mary Kay Ryan said that Easter visits are shorter this year — three-to-four nights — than in years in which Easter fell earlier, which sometimes coincided with spring breaks, thus resulting in longer stays.
Casa del Mar General Manager D.M. Williams said that the resort is full through April 9 and will have a gap of a week or two before traffic spikes again for Easter weekend.
But, regardless of the traffic patterns, most resort officials and business owners agree that a late Easter is a good thing.
"It's always good for us when Easter falls late, because that stretches out our season," said Karen Rangel, regional director of sales at Ocean Properties Ltd.

Another week of confusing Atlantic 10 action, another attempt to put these teams in some meaningful order by your humble power ranker. And with a big game on deck -- Saint Louis visits Butler at 7 p.m. ET tonight -- things are obviously subject to change. Let's just do our best, shall we?
1. Saint Louis. For the first time this season, the Saint Louis Billikens are your No. 1 team in the Atlantic 10. Why? Form. No team in the conference is currently playing better; no other team in the A-10 has rattled off eight straight wins, including convincing home victories over Butler and, most recently, VCU. The Billikens play the stingiest defense in the league, and their offense -- their biggest bugaboo thus far -- ranks second. They're the real deal.
Of course, there is that game at Hinkle Fieldhouse tonight, so this perception could change if Jim Crews' team is just totally blown out. Failing that, by now we have to consider Saint Louis & Co. at least the prospective equal of VCU and Butler -- if not something more.
2. Butler. It is worth noting that Butler's Feb. 13 home loss to Charlotte came when Andrew Smith was sidelined with an injury. It is also worth noting that, even with Smith back in the lineup, the Bulldogs haven't looked their best these past couple of weeks. They managed to hold on for a win at Fordham on Saturday, and beat up on hapless Duquesne Tuesday, but neither of those games featured the kind of impressive offense that drove the Bulldogs to their early-season success. This team has yet to play really vintage (or "vintage") Butler defense; its best work has always been on the offensive end. If the offense slows down, as it has recently, will the Bulldogs improve enough on the defensive end to remain formidable? (For more on this, check out Butler coach Brad Stevens's appearance with Andy Katz and Seth Greenberg on the ESPN college hoops podcast Wednesday.)
3. Virginia Commonwealth. VCU was No. 1 last week. It's No. 3 this week. I don't really think that should be taken as an indictment; I think VCU is about as good as Butler or Saint Louis overall, depending mostly on matchups and style of play. If VCU gets a team that turns over the ball even semi-frequently, they're almost impossible to beat. They create too much chaos, and get too many easy buckets. But if they play a team that limits turnovers -- see: Saint Louis -- the whole pressure-turnover-score-pressure loop breaks down, and VCU has a tough time getting stops or keeping offenses off the boards.
4. La Salle. I'm more inclined to give Temple the credit, rather than La Salle the blame, for the Owls' 82-74 win at the Liacouras Center on Thursday night. Sure, you would have liked to see La Salle put up more of a fight during the 18-0 run that broke the game open at the end of the first half, but Temple was also really hot, and when Temple gets hot, they can beat anyone. The Explorers remain in the top half of this league, to say the least, and are well positioned for a solid NCAA tournament at-large berth.
5. Charlotte. The 49ers were blown out at Saint Louis on Saturday, but Saint Louis is blowing out everyone in its own building these days, so I don't see much reason to downgrade the 49ers. If there is a reason, it's that Charlotte -- so solid defensively for the first two months of the season -- is now allowing 1.03 points per possession while scoring only 0.97. Running an efficiency margin deficit is not a good way to get in the NCAA tournament, which is a realistic goal.
6. Temple. Temple can not be ranked; Temple exists outside space and time. I mean, really: What sense can you make of a team that participated in five -- yes, five -- straight one-point games? Two were losses (at Saint Joe's, at home vs. Duquesne -- yikes) and three were wins (Charlotte, Dayton, UMass), and then Temple -- again, the same team that lost at home to Duquesne -- went on a tear against a good La Salle team Thursday night. Before Thursday night, the Owls were scoring 1.054 points per trip and allowing 1.055. I give up.
7. Massachusetts. The Minutemen are fighting like mad for an NCAA tournament bid -- they're either just outside the tournament field or way outside it, depending on whom you ask -- and needless to say, Wednesday's loss at St. Bonaventure was not helpful. The Bonnies put up 99 points (on a super-brisk 84 possessions, but still).
8. Xavier. Xavier's various RPI and strength of schedule numbers made them a very long shot to get into the tournament before they lost to Dayton on Saturday, and they fell off the Bubble Watch accordingly. But keep an eye out: Xavier's next four games all come at home, and all four -- VCU, Memphis, UMass and Saint Louis -- would aid a last-second tournament push. (And a trip to Butler is the final game of the season; that would help, too.)
9. Saint Joseph's. Remember when Saint Joe's was picked to win this league? Yeah. Not so much. They're now 14-10 with a mediocre offense and a bad defense, which is pretty much exactly where they were at this time last season. Lesson to everyone: Just because a team brings back all its players doesn't mean those players automatically get better.
10. George Washington. The Colonials are still playing solid defense. They're also still playing terrible offense. That combination makes them good enough to beat the league's bottom-half squads on given nights, but they can't muster enough scoring to do anything else consistently.
11. Dayton. For all of Dayton's struggles this year, Saturday's 11-point home win over their in-state rivals/overlords Xavier had to feel really good. It's the little things, right?
12. Richmond. The Spiders got an exciting and well-earned OT win over St. Bonaventure on Saturday, but the issues we've covered almost weekly -- injuries, a hampered offense, a defense that was never good enough to compensate for either two -- remain.
13. St. Bonaventure. The Bonnies may well have spoiled UMass's shot at an at-large tourney bid Wednesday night. Mark Schmidt's team's remaining schedule is mostly bad, but Charlotte comes to town March 2, and the 49ers would do well to avoid a fate similar to the Minutemen.
14. Rhode Island. The Rams' offense remains abysmal -- Xavier Munford and company mustered only 42 points in 64 possessions at home against the Musketeers on Wednesday, but you have to love the defensive leap they've taken in league play, and the spirit with which they've battled consistently superior opponents.
15. Duquesne. After that amazing 84-83 upset at Temple, their first league win of the season, the Dukes were probably bound for a letdown. Or maybe just a return to normalcy. Either way, they lost to Rhode Island and Butler.
16. Fordham. You sort of have to feel for teams such as Duquesne and Fordham; they are in some ways mid-majors that pale in comparison to the majority of their well-financed league foes. Anyway, they're 6-21.

Massachusetts Bay Government Puritan Theory of Government Democracy or Theocracy? Democracy Democracy - A system of government in which power is vested in the people, who rule either directly or through freely elected representitives. There is a seperation between religion and state. System of checks and balances. Offices are open to all. The affairs of state can be changed by the people. Elected rulers can be impeached. A seperate branch of the government handles civil law. Modern Democracies: United States, Switzerland Theocracy Theocracy: A nation or state in which the clergy exercise political power and in which
religous law is dominant over civil law. The ruler is absolute. Religous text may act as the constitution. The head of state(if not the religous head) will have to answer to the clerics. The people have little to no say in the affairs of the government. Religous laws are enforced as civil laws. Modern Theocracies: Iran, Saudi Arabia Rulers are said to have a direct link to God(s). Religion and state are one. So which is it? It was a trick question! The Massachusett's Bay Colony was neither Democracy or Theocracy, the colonists had a government that included a little bit of both. So what was the structure of Mass. Bay Colony's Government? Structure of the Mass. Bay Government To understand the Structure of the Mass. Bay Government we must look at the Governor, the General Court, who could vote, and the Town Meetings. The Governor The Governor was the most powerful man in the colony. The first governor was John Winthrop. The Govenor had 8 assistants that made up his council. John Winthrop was a smart man and a devout Puritan. He had a very strong faith in God, and he believed God was unhappy with England, and thus wanted him to establish a colony in England. ("[God will] provide a shelter and a hiding place for us.")
The govenor and his council were both in the General Court. The General Court In October of 1630, the first General Court was held; and the magistrates allowed all residents of the colony to attend. Meetings were held 4 times per year. The General Court consisted of the Governor, his 8 assistants, and two delegates elected by each town. Though many people were included in the General Court, it is very
likely that the majority of the posistions were held by a minority of
the actual members. The people in this minority usually had better
connections and were more wealthy than the average citizens. The General Court had many powers including the ability to set taxes and to elect a governor. John Winthrop did get reelected but eventually his competitor, Thomas Dudley. Who Could Vote? The only people that could vote were the "freemen." These freemen were white adult males who were members of a Congregational church.
-by 1630, 40% of adult males could vote in the colony Women and black people could not vote for ministers, but could be members of the Congregational church. Freemen could vote for the governor, his assistants, deputies, and military officers every year. Town Meetings Puritans wanted great order and unity, and from this desire they developed a strong town governance. This popular participation promoted consensus rather than ensure pluralism.
-Freemen were taught that it was their duty as citizens to choose, or vote for, the men chosen by God to be in leadership positions (the electorate). Town meetings became an extremely important aspect of Puritan society because it also made the people feel obligated to follow the rules of society because their vote was involved in making it that way. Now you know everything there is about the Mass. Bay Government right?
Wrong! There are still a few important subjects to go over, like the Blue Laws, the Dominion of New England, and Andros's Rebellion. Blue Laws and Restrictions on Personal Actions What were the Blue Laws? Restrictions on Personal Actions Based on the Blue Laws The Blue Laws were a set of laws based on the bible's religous rules. They were sometimes used to dictate what was publicly acceptable or not. What did these laws restrict? Most of these laws have been repealed, declared unconstitutional, or uninforced nowadays. Reverend Samuel Peters fabricated notorious Blue Laws such as, "No woman shall kiss her child on the Sabbath or fasting-day." Reverend Peters' Blue Laws were considered "false blue laws." The Blue Laws that still exist are usually about the prohibition of alcohol or sometimes all commercial goods on Sabbath. Chick-fil-A has a Blue Law-like policy beacause it does not operate on Sunday. An example of a real Blue Law from the time of the Mass. Bay colony is, "If any man or woman, after legal conviction, shall have or worship any other God but the Lord God, he shall be put to death." As you can see, these Laws had harsh punishments. The Dominion of New England and Andros Rebellion The Dominion of New England Andros Rebellion In 1686, much to the dismay of the colonists, the Dominion of New England was created. Imposed from London, this new system countered much of the independence that they had had earlier. England sent soldiers to strengthen colonial defense in case of war with Indians. These soldiers ignored the customs and rules of the colonies. Most egregious was the enforcement of the Navagation Laws. These laws restricted trade with any country besides England or one of its colonies. Smuggling became more and more common. Sir Edmund Andros was appointed as the head of the new Dominion. He made New England more aristocractic. Sir Edmund Andros was disliked by the colonist for many reasons. He had a connection with the Church of England. He reduced the amount of town meetings. He put large restrictions on the courts, the press, and the schools. Also, he took back all land titles. Ignoring the officially elected representitives, he taxed the people of New England. He enforced the Navagation Laws and tried to suppress the smuggling. When they had the Glorious Rebellion in Old England, it is of little surprise that the
colonists took advantage of the disorder to rebel themselves and to send Sir Edmund
Andros back to England. Phew! A lot of information, but now you can say that you are experts on the...
