moreApproaching computational statistics through its theoretical aspects can be daunting. Often intimidated or distracted by the theory, researchers and students can lose sight of the actual goals and applications of the subject. What they need are its key concepts, an understanding of its methods, experience with its implementation, and practice with computational software.Focusing on the computational aspects of statistics rather than the theoretical, Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB uses a down-to-earth approach that makes statistics accessible to a wide range of users. The authors integrate the use of MATLAB throughout the book, allowing readers to see the actual implementation of algorithms, but also include step-by-step procedures to allow implementation with any suitable software. The book concentrates on the simulation/Monte Carlo point of view, and contains algorithms for exploratory data analysis, modeling, Monte Carlo simulation, pattern recognition, bootstrap, classification, cross-validation methods, probability density estimation, random number generation, and other computational statistics methods.E mphasis on the practical aspects of statistics, details of the latest techniques, and real implementation experience make the Computational Statistics Handbook with MATLAB more than just the first book to use MATLAB to solve computational problems in statistics.It also forms an outstanding, introduction to statistics for anyone in the many disciplines that involve data analysis. less

What constitutes a just tax system, and what are its moral foundations? Should a society's tax regime be designed to achieve a just distribution of wealth among its citizens, or should such a regime be designed to promote economic growth, rising standards of living, and increasing levels of employment? Are these two goals compatible or incompatible? Why should justice not require, or at least lead to, an increase in general prosperity? The essays in this volume examine the history of tax policies and the normative principles that have informed the selection of various types of taxes and tax regimes; economic data to discover which tax policies lead to economic growth; particular theories of justice or property rights regarding the design of tax systems; and other essays propose specific tax reforms. Still others challenge traditional theories of taxation, offering new ways of understanding the fiscal relationship between governments and their citizens.Read more

Among some of the highlights during the Washington Redskins' practice on Monday was the defense coming together with all of its starters for the first time and running back Roy Helu, Jr. being impressive in multiple phases.
John Keim of ESPN observed the Redskins' practice, giving praise to Helu for his work on pass protection and catching from the backfield among his duties of establishing the run.
It's hard to imagine anyone but Roy Helu ending up as the third-down back for Washington. He's done a decent job in pass protection and he remains their best receiving threat out of the backfield. He also had a nice run today, running with excellent pad level through the hole.
Helu suffered a setback last season after losing the starting battle and getting behind rookie Alfred Morris on the depth chart. His season ended on September 26th after suffering turf toe and other lower leg injuries.
Another highlight includes rookie safety Phillip Thomas, who's starting to look more comfortable in his position.
Thomas did do a good job in the box on one read, coming up closer to the line based on the formation. He read the quarterback's eyes, forced a tight window and subsequent incomplete pass with his coverage. Thomas is slowly coming along with his play in the box.

ROSIES OBLATE YOUTH MISSION'S ministry is being "Friends On The Street." Each Wednesday and Friday night a team of up to a dozen eighteen to thirty year-old volunteers operate a coffee bus offering friendship and hospitality through the simple gesture of a free hot or cold drink.
ROSIES volunteers are not social workers and we are not an accommodation agency. We provide a comfortable and safe environment on Flinders Street, in which to belong, especially for those who appear to be homeless or lonely.
ROSIES volunteers witness Christ's love for the poor and abandoned, through developing friendships and being a listening ear. One of the frustrations for the homeless is not only around having food and shelter, but also finding someone to listen to their story and to be their "Friend On The Street".
ROSIES is a missionary work of the Catholic Church, under the auspices of a religious order called the Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate.

The need for Electronic Manufacturing Services could be realized by the truth that there are lots of electronic devices that have now become an intrinsic part of our daily lives. Individuals in every sphere of life, for example, heavily rely on cell phones. EMS, therefore, happen to be among the most critical industrial processes running today.
A terrific way EMS are helping us today is by making everything handily uncomplicated and easy. Computers, for instance, are so extensively used that no one stops to consider the technicalities involved with the production process. A computer within seconds is really a very complicated procedure, while we see the results on it. Actually, electric charges are sent through the computer using complicated copper paths. These convey with several parts of the computer's circuit board. These components perform their individual functions so that you can display the outcomes in your screen.
These devices that are common, nevertheless are not the only ones provided by EMS providers. There are numerous other services they offer to be able to make specialized processes more easy. Products are being designed by among these. Experts could be hired to get an overall notion from you and to develop it right into a technical design for an electronic merchandise. This is immensely advantageous, since hiring experts ensures that your product design conforms to the most recent crazes and prerequisites. Additionally, seasoned designers that are hiring ensures you will receive a broad range of ideas and, thus, think of the most effective variant of your first idea to get a merchandise.
EMS providers can also help you in handling specific tasks following your product was completed apart from designing products. EMS providers can, by way of example, manage the supply chain of your merchandise and help through the entire world with its distribution. You do not, hence, have to hire your finished product to be distributed by distinct services suppliers. If, for example, your product has been distributed globally but there is a difficulty discovered later, you can be helped by your EMS provider by repairing and assessing this defect.

For a long time, GM was sure the B in Buick stood for big. Keith Bright's '58 wagon on the left (Aug. '09, "Caballero for Cruisng") is as big as they come, though the owner did reduce it a bit by slightly slicing the whole top. The '57 on the right takes a unique approach with scoops in the roof and a zillion louvers in the trunk. These cars don't cost much to start, but we'd cringe at the rechrome bill on one of them.

Fractional Reserve Banking and Money Creation Review for AP Economics
Review questions for this study guide can be found at:
Money, Banking, and Monetary Policy Review Questions Review for AP Economics
Main Topics: Fractional Reserve Banking, Money Creation, The Money Multiplier
If you asked 10 bank tellers in your hometown, "do you create money here?" I'm guessing that 9 or 10 of them would reply, "no way." They're wrong. The fractional reserve system of banking, plus the bank's profit motive, creates money and opens the door for the Fed to promote or inhibit such money creation.
Fractional Reserve Banking
Fractional reserve banking is a system in which only a fraction of the total money supply is held in reserve as currency. The short story that follows illustrates how fractional reserve banking might have evolved.
Eli's Community Bank (ECB) opens its doors and is now accepting deposits from citizens who want a safe place to put their money. Eli promises to always keep 100 percent of their money on hand so that if a person needs to buy groceries, he or she can simply withdraw some money and take it to the store.
One day, a citizen came up to the bank asking to borrow some money to start a lemonade stand, but Eli had to turn her down because if any of his customers came to withdraw money for groceries, and found that it was not in the vault, they would be extremely irritated. After a month or so, Eli observes that on any given day, there are very few withdrawals and most of the time the deposited money just sits there in the vault, doing nothing.
Eli decides, just to be safe, to hold a small percentage of his total deposits in the vault to cover any daily withdrawals, and earn some interest income by lending out the rest to households or small businesses. He even realizes that he must offer a small rate of interest to his depositors to compensate them for that "whole time value of money thing." The fraction of total deposits kept on reserve is called the reserve ratio. Each time he receives a deposit, he puts that fraction in the vault and lends the rest. This process is the foundation for money creation and the Fed's ability to conduct monetary policy.
Money Creation
A specific example of how the fractional reserve system can multiply one new bank deposit into new created money illustrates the process of money creation.
The reserve ratio is 10 percent. In other words,
- Reserve ratio (rr) = required reserves/total deposits = .10
One way to see how checking deposits turn into loans, and how loans turn into new money is to create a basic T-account, or balance sheet. The idea of a balance sheet is to show the assets and liabilities of a bank. In our example, total assets must equal total liabilities.
Asset. Anything owned by the bank or owed to the bank is an asset of the bank. Cash on reserve is an asset and so are loans made to citizens.
Liability. Anything owned by depositors or lenders to the bank is a liability. Checking deposits of citizens or loans made to the bank are liabilities to the bank.
Step 1. Katie takes $1000 from under her mattress, deposits it at ECB, and opens a checking account. ECB must put $100 in required reserves, but the remaining $900 are excess reserves and can be either kept on reserve or lent.
Step 2. ECB lends all $900 in excess reserves to Bob, a local farmer. This loan does not yet count as newly created money.
Step 3. Bob uses his $900 at Tractor Supply, which has a checking account with ECB. Checking deposits have now increased by $900 and this is new money. ECB must keep $90 as required reserves and there are now $810 of excess reserves.
Step 4. ECB makes an $810 loan to Brent, who is looking to buy some furniture. Brent spends $810 at Furniture Factory, which also banks with ECB, increasing checking deposits by $810. ECB must keep $81 in required reserves and there are now $729 in excess reserves.

this is a REALLY interesting phenomenon. it's similar to behavior you see in some OCD patients, who feel compulsively guilty for things they haven't done or scared that they've done something bad, even when they know they haven't. wonder if the two are related somehow?

Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. will debut its new PDR vehicle amplifiers at the 2014 International CES taking place Jan. 7-10 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The PDR amplifiers are an entirely new line from Alpine.
"Alpine invented the compact amplifier category back in 2006," said Steve Crawford, vice president and general manager, aftermarket business unit, Alpine Electronics of America, Inc. "Every year since, we have improved upon the format by introducing amplifiers that are smaller yet more powerful than their predecessors. Our new PDR amplifiers exemplify our continuing commitment to this category, as they are highly efficient and produce a great amount of power for their small size."
Additional Alpine amplifiers will still be available for 2014. The premium PDX amplifiers incorporate Global Modulation architecture for the ultimate sound quality that is the hallmark of PDX amplifiers. These efficient and reliable amplifiers set the bar as the first all-digital amplifiers to be housed in a small, uniform footprint, using a stackable chassis design for compact installations. The MRX-M110 from the X-Power series will stay on as a powerful option for users who want a mono amplifier that can drive multiple subwoofers. The entry level V-Power amplifiers offer style and performance at attractive price points.
Also available are the Head Unit Power Packs, which are small amplifiers that increase the power of head units to 45W RMS x 4. The KTP-445A is designed for select 2005 and newer Alpine head units, while the KTP-445U version offers the same power boost for virtually any source unit.

Rain the Only Thing that Could Keep Cubs from Winning Yesterday, Except All Those Other Things
August 13, 2008
(Atlanta, GA) – The Chicago Cubs rolled into Atlanta yesterday, winners of 14 of their last 21 games. They were ready to lay a drubbing to the hapless Braves, but severe storms in the Atlanta area postponed the game.
And it's a good thing for the Braves that the rains came, because it seems like lately, that's the only thing that could keep the Cubs from winning the game.
Well, that, and a few other things.
Other than the rain, here is a top ten list of the things that could keep the Cubs from winning a game:
10. The entire team gets "the Fukudomes," and completely forgets how to be patient, quality hitters.
9. The other team starts a soft-tossing lefty, blanks Cubs.
8. The other team starts a rookie who has been crushed in all of his previous starts, blanks Cubs.
7. The other team's startng pitcher – be he a soft-tossing lefty or a crappy rookie – hits 2-out, game winning single up the middle to score two runs, despite coming into the game with an .087 average.
6. Ted Lilly spreads around a little too much man love, and the clubhouse comes down with an assortment of dehabilitating venereal diseases.
5. Geovanny Soto shaves his pirate goatee, and like Sampson, is sapped of all his strength.
4. The other team scores more runs than the Cubs.
3. Carlos Zambrano finally listens to the voices in his head and "burns the mother down," badly singes pitching arm.
2. Ronny Cedeno is thrown out an impossible 37 times on the basepaths.
1. Bobby Howry is allowed to pitch in a tie game in the 9th inning.
Got something to say?

Review: Coherence (2013)
Saturday, October 4, 2014
Written and directed by James Ward Byrkit.
Starring Emily Foxler, Hugo Armstrong, Nicholas Brendon, Elizabeth Gracen, Lauren Maher, Alex Manugian, Lorene Scafaria, and Maury Sterling.
A new Patreon backer at the $50 level opted out of the usual reward of a plug in the "Become a Multiplex Patron" box (above, on the website), asking instead for me to plug the 2013 indie science fiction filmCoherence (with which he is not affiliated). I was happy to oblige, and so "A fan of Coherence" — a.k.a. The Patron, as I'll refer to him from here out — is, for the duration of his patronage, among Multiplex's supporters. (And, yes, I will review just about any movie a $50 backer asks me to.)
What really got my interest in the film (aside from being asked very nicely to see it) was that The Patron compared it to Shane Carruth's Primer, one of the best no-budget sci-fi movies ever made. I can definitely see the comparison: both are decidedly low-budget films with small casts and a science-fictiony premise. I feel like seeing the film fairly blind is probably the best, so I won't summarize the plot beyond the premise of eight friends having a dinner party when a comet passes over and Strange Things Happen, but I don't think I'm quite as enthusiastic as The Patron.
Unfortunately, the "go in as blind as you can" suggestion means I feel like I need to be pretty vague. Some clunky (and largely unnecessary) exposition gets spat out early on, which tried my patience a bit, but it gets fun as the plot gets rolling. And the plot is definitely the star of the film, not the largely forgettable cast of affluent, Southern California white people or the dialogue, which often feels improvised (in that it neither pushes the story forward nor reveals character, as good dialogue ought to).
Despite some genuinely terrifically creepy or suspenseful moments in the film, a handful of contrived plot points hold it back from being much more than a fun genre flick for me, but I found myself wondering what would happen next — almost up to the very end. A late turn in the film got more of an eye-roll from me than the shock that I think it was supposed register. As always, your mileage may vary, but the film's merits make it well worth a viewing, particularly for science fiction fans suffering from blockbuster fatigue.
Here's the trailer! If it piques your interest, please do check it out. It's available for rent from Amazon Instant Video or for purchase from its official website, among other places. (I never recommend reading YouTube comments, but definitely on't read the comments if you want to stay away from spoilers.)

I don't see what all the negative reviews are about - I love this ridiculously large, excessive Tesco and everything about it. The massive car park, the bakery and café, the ability to get lost somewhere between looking for ketchup and candlesticks...it's all good to me.
Tesco Watford is one of the biggest I've ever seen. I doubt I've ever walked in and not found something I was looking for - everything seems to be under one roof. There are toys, clothing, home goods, plenty of things for the holidays (their Christmas section is a little insane) but the down side is, you're going to have to wait or be able to push your cart around like a pro without getting annoyed because this store is always, always filled with people.
It's a bit out of our way but I'd rather shop here to get the variety of things I need (bigger section of cheeses, fresh foods, wine and alcohol) than run around like a crazed maniac to find what I need. The staff is always helpful, but sometimes hard to find. The photo section, which we've bought personalized gifts from, is timely and professional. I have never had a hard time here, unless it's with that damned 'Scan Yourself' system (so disorganized, don't even bother!)...!
On a side note, all American shoppers, they have a very generous selection of American goodies, from really good maple syrup and pancake mixes to American candy and cereal and treats of all sizes. It made the Michigan girl inside of me almost explode from excitement but be warned! - the prices are outrageous! (No surprise there)
I'll be back with my list in hand!
This Tesco is a huge store and being a Tesco Extra it is one of the largest in this chain. It has an extensive range of food, grocery items and non grocery items such as clothing, toys, electricals and household produce.
I regularly visit this store for my shopping and find that it is busy all of the time, despite being a 24 hours store. It has its own cafe as well as a large Krispy Kreme cafe and take away on site.
There is able parking with a designated area for disabled and parent and child parking, which depending on when you go isn't always full. Be warned spaces near the front of the store fill up quickly so you may have to walk a bit to the store.
Best tesco I have been in for range of goods, its absolutely massive with everything you could think of on offer.
The Krispy Kreme smell does make me feel ill though.
Also some of the staff are rather obnoxious and can give the impression that you are putting them out by making them work ie scan your items
This is a very, very large Tesco, the biggest one I've been to. You'd be hard pressed to find something they didn't stock there. We even buy toys from there when we have to buy a gift in a hurry, they have such an extensive collection. I have also found some good bargains among the toys and books in addition to groceries.
Having a Krispy Kreme outlet is another plus. It's nice to be able to have something fresh and tasty while grocery shopping, we always wait for the sign to light up. They have plenty of trolleys for different needs. For two babies, or a baby and a toddler or those car type trolleys that the toddler drives. They are open 24/7 so we have the option of late night shopping too. Great supermarket for the whole family.
The Tesco in Watford is simply too big. Each time I visit it takes far too long to do a normal weekly shop. There is too much choice and the store doesn't seem to have any logical order to it. Yes it has a lovely toy department but I don't want to shop for toys each time I do a food shop. The electricals seem quite good value but I prefer branded goods I and would rather get them from John Lewis. The clothes department is quite big and it's convenient just to pop a couple of items in your trolley, try them on at home and return them next time if they aren't suitable.
I would not choose to shop at this Tesco unless I was in the area.
This is a Tesco Extra and it's open 24/7. It's huge! They have a pharmacy, optician and cafe as well as a Krispy Kreme outlet. The petrol station has the cheapest petrol you'll find in the area.
Tesco in Watford is one of my favourite supermarkets. It is absolutely huge. It offers a vast range of food and drink. The clothes department is massive and carries a full range of Tesco clothing. Often there are clothing sale on that makes thes items very affordable. The home ware section is massive too so this makes Tesco in Watford perfect for the weekly shop. It offers a free car park but the trolleys need a token or £1 coin before you can move them. The staff are quite friendly and the shop is clean and tidy. There is an excellent selection of phones, dvd's and games in addition to the most popular ranges. The store also carries a lot of electrical items including fridges, cookers and microwaves. There is a petrol station on site and it is easy to get to. It might be worth spending a morning there,
Grande Tesco. Can be good for some things like garlic mushrooms. They have a fairly good fresh fish counter. However generally Tesco quality is below the cost of their produce. Advantage of this store is size.
The Tesco in Watford is a big one. Each time I visit it takes far too long to do a normal weekly shopwe have too much to choose . It has a lovely toy department The electricals seem quite good value but I prefer branded goods I and would rather get them from John Lewis.
Badly managed and organised supermarket.
Location wise this is a good Tesco Extra (the larger size store) as it is easily accessibly on foot from the town centre, unlike many supermarkets which locate out of town and accessible only by bus. There is an enormous shop car park, however the flip side is as this is so close to town it often fills up early and long queues are common at peak times. The Tesco has the usual clothes and electrical sections and often does in store promotions. Service however is generally unfriendly and queues are often long, particularly at customer services and on weekends. This Tesco supports Tesco home deliveries and I have used it many times with very good results as being a larger store it rarely runs out of stock so doesn't 'replace' items. Finally it is generally good for accessibility with the usual disabled spaces and no steps, and customer services will store your buggy if you do not have a car seat trolley.
If you want to do a quick shop, or even a large shop come to that, on a weekday evening, Forget it. Hugh queues at the checkouts most of the time. No staff to open the numerous unmanned chekouts. The three times I've been have all been the same. 20 or 30 deep for the self checkout as well. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE if you're pushed for time.

Here is the rather ungenerous reaction:
I am sorry to hear that Tony Benn has died. He was a magnificent writer, speaker, diarist and campaigner, with a strong record of public and political service. There was never a dull moment listening to him, even when you disagreed with everything he said
Is that really all he could think of to say? He might as well not have bothered. A magnificent writer? From the Guardian here's part of what Shami Chakrabarti said:
In an age of spin, he was solid, a signpost and not a weathervane.
Nick Robinson writes that he was "one of the biggest political personalities this country has ever seen."
Update: Tony Benn to become only the second politician (the other being Margaret Thatcher) to rest in Westminster chapel after request from speaker.
market manipulation and sports March 6, 2014Posted by Bradley in : governance , add a comment
The UK Treasury has published a news release with the title LIBOR funds to support first Invictus Games in London (details of other payments from the fund to support armed-forces related projects can be seen here). According to the press release the Chancellor said:
I am pleased that we have been able to support the very first Invictus Games in London using the LIBOR fund. We're using money raised from fines on those who demonstrated the very worst of values to support the very best of values, injured service personnel from around the world. This landmark event will be a real inspiration for future generations.
I have never really understood the rationale for applying these funds in this way. It seems to me that the Government has an obligation to support the armed forces in all sorts of ways and that relying on the happenstance of funds derived from fraud is not the way to go about providing the support. Then again, linking the two quite separate things almost makes it sound as though it was a good thing that people manipulated Libor over many years. What will the UK Government fund with proceeds from the investigations into manipulation in the foreign exchange market, I wonder? Early childhood education? Food banks? The dredging of canals? From this perspective we could say we need more fraud to help more people. But that can't be right, can it?
third party debt orders and paying agents February 26, 2014Posted by Bradley in : markets , add a comment
The English Commercial Court (Mr. Justice Blair) has held in Merchant International Company Ltd v Naftogaz and the Bank of New York Mellon that there is no jurisdiction to make a third party debt order (these used to be called garnishee orders) with respect to funds held by a bank as a paying agent for a note issue. The reason was that the funds when held by the paying agent were not owed as a debt to the note issuer. And this was so even though the issuer responded to the judgment creditor's attempts to obtain the funds designed for the investors by paying further funds to the paying agent, and some of the money was repaid to the judgment debtor:
Though the balance of the money was repaid in due course, I do not consider that this was pursuant to an obligation that was capable of being attached by a third party debt order. This avoids a conclusion that would mean that MIC had in effect itself created a debt by virtue of the action it had taken. Whilst it was suggested on its behalf in argument that it had "got lucky", it does not follow that there was an attachable debt.
The doctrinal issues are different from those in NML Capital v Argentina but the decision does suggest it may be better to be acting as a paying agent in London than in New York.
uk: banking standards review February 10, 2014Posted by Bradley in : self-regulation , add a comment
As the FCA publishes its thematic review of Transition Management (the activity with respect to which the FCA fined State Street UK) and stories about banks' compliance failures and the financial consequences of those failures seem to be in the news on a daily basis, Sir Richard Lambert publishes a consultation paper as part of the Banking Standards Review initiated by "by the chairmen of Barclays, HSBC, Lloyds Banking Group, Royal Bank of Scotland, Santander, Standard Chartered and Nationwide." Lambert says:
I am hoping for the widest possible response. I would like to hear from banks and building societies with UK operations; customers and consumer groups; professional bodies with members working in banks; bank staff and trade unions; the Bank of England, financial regulators and investors; politicians; and anyone else with an interest in banking in Britain.
The consultative document suggests that the proposed new organization and standards – which would be designed to turn banking into a profession, sensitizing financiers to the big picture and moral questions, and a standards body rather than a lobbying organization – should apply to foreign banks doing business in the UK as well as to UK banks.
problems with the culture of finance: fca sanctions state street uk January 31, 2014Posted by Bradley in : financial regulation , add a comment
The UK's Financial Conduct Authority fined State Street UK £22,885,000 for overcharging customers in its Transitions Management (TM) business. The FCA press release states:
The systemic weaknesses in State Street UK's business practices and control environment around the UK TM business were so serious that the overcharging only came to light after a client notified staff that it had identified mark-ups on certain trades that had not been agreed. Those responsible then incorrectly claimed both to the client and later to State Street UK's compliance department that the charging was an inadvertent error, and arranged for a substantial rebate to be paid on that false basis. They deliberately failed to disclose the existence of further mark-ups on other trades conducted as part of the same transition.
The Final Notice says that
State Street UK failed to treat its customers fairly by allowing a culture to develop in the UK TM business which prioritised revenue generation over the interests of customers. As a result, the UK TM business developed and executed a deliberate and targeted strategy to charge substantial mark-ups on certain transitions, in addition to the agreed management fee or commission, that were deliberately not agreed with clients or disclosed to them.
But State Street had held itself out as adhering to the principles in the "T-Charter" a self-regulatory code of practice for participants in the Transitions Management business which provides that participants in this market should only impose charges they agree with their clients. State Street was a "founding signatory" of this Charter.
court of justice distinguishes kükükdeveci January 15, 2014Posted by Bradley in : eu , add a comment
In Association de médiation sociale v Union locale des syndicats CGT, the Court of Justice of the EU (Grand Chamber) has held that Article 27 of the EU's Charter of Fundamental Rights cannot be invoked in a dispute between individuals in order to disapply a provision of national law implementing Directive 2002/14/EC which is incompatible with EU law.
The Directive established a general framework for informing and consulting employees ("employee is defined as "any person who, in the Member State concerned, is protected as an employee under national employment law and in accordance with national practice.") Article 3(1) of the Directive limited the application of the Directive as follows:
This Directive shall apply, according to the choice made by Member States, to: (a) undertakings employing at least 50 employees in any one Member State, or (b) establishments employing at least 20 employees in any one Member State. Member States shall determine the method for calculating the thresholds of employees employed.
Article L. 1111-3 of the Code du Travail establishes rules for calculating the relevant number of employees for the purposes of the Directive. A dispute arose as to whether the Association de médiation sociale (AMS) was subject to the Directive's requirements. The Court of Justice held that the French rules were incompatible with the Directive:
An interpretation of Directive 2002/14 according to which Article 3(1) thereof allows the Member States to exclude from the calculation of the staff numbers of the undertaking a specific category of workers on grounds such as those put forward by the French Government in the case in the main proceedings is incompatible with Article 11 of that directive, which requires Member States to take all necessary steps enabling them to guarantee the results imposed by Directive 2002/14, in that it implies that the States would be allowed to evade that obligation to reach a clear and precise result imposed by European Union law … it must therefore be concluded that Article 3(1) of Directive 2002/14 must be interpreted as precluding a national provision, such as Article L. 1111-3 of the Labour Code, under which workers with assisted contracts are excluded from the calculation of staff numbers in the undertaking when determining the legal thresholds for setting up bodies representing staff.
Article 3(1) of the Directive was capable of producing direct effects, but not between private parties (which AMS is, as "an association governed by private law, even if it has a social objective"). The Court then considered whether Kükükdeveci (where a national court was instructed to apply the general principle of non-discrimination on grounds of age, as given expression in a directive, disapplying contrary provisions of national law if necessary) might help. It didn't. Art 27 of the Charter provides:
Workers or their representatives must, at the appropriate levels, be guaranteed information and consultation in good time in the cases and under the conditions provided for by Union law and national laws and practices
The Court said:
the facts of the case may be distinguished from those which gave rise to Kücükdeveci in so far as the principle of non-discrimination on grounds of age at issue in that case, laid down in Article 21(1) of the Charter, is sufficient in itself to confer on individuals an individual right which they may invoke as such.
The Court suggests that a damages remedy might be available in these circumstances – the usual next step, although I don't know how useful it would in fact be in such a case. And there isn't much in the judgment to allow us to know which general principles will merit Kükükdeveci treatment and which will not.
financial conduct authority website feedback survey January 10, 2014Posted by Bradley in : stakeholders , add a comment
I find the pictures on the FCA website really irritating: presumably the pictures of attractive people are supposed to make the website more appealing but I don't know what they have to do with the FCA's functions. So, seeing that the FCA was carrying out a website feedback survey I clicked on the link. The first question is "Are you visiting the FCA website today as a consumer or on behalf of a financial services firm?" the possible options are as a consumer or on behalf of a financial firm. No "other" option. Perhaps they don't think journalists or academics are likely to participate in the survey? Or they only care about what consumers and financial firms think about the website?

The criminal bar in the UK protests funding cuts by withdrawing labour.

He writes:

vicar told children the truth (about santa claus) – parents were horrified December 12, 2013Posted by Bradley in : lies , add a comment
The Guardian reports that a Wiltshire Vicar told a group of children about St. Nicolas. After parents objected he apologized to parents for having told their children the truth (he apparently said he had no intention of undermining the kids' belief in Santa Claus). The article has this quote from one of the parents:
We wouldn't just walk into the church during one of his services and tell everyone there that Jesus isn't real. He's a person of authority and it's not his place to be telling the children that.
"It's the older children who have suffered the most because their parents can't really talk their way out of it like the parents of younger children can.
"Loads of kids went home crying – it has ruined Christmas for them. It wasn't a nice story for children to hear, there were lots more he could have told. Not only has he spoiled Father Christmas for them, a lot of them are now questioning the existence of the tooth fairy as well.
Parents can't talk their way out of it with older kids the way they can with younger ones. But why this need to have children believe in things that do not exist? Especially as a significant chunk of the Santa Claus story is too close to the idea of the bogeyman for my liking.
The headline for the Telegraph's story reads: Santa Claus is not real, vicar claims to audience of primary school children. Claims?

Who's in?
Don't be shy. I have yet to meet a mom that doesn't go batty when someone, anyone, wakes her sleeping baby.
My 1st son was difficult to get to sleep. But, compared to my 2nd son, he was a piece of cake.
2nd boy? He was one of those babies. The ones you have to feed, rock, burp, rock some more, shush, stand up while trying to fake that you're not actually standing up, bounce, sway, pat the butt, lower him into the bed (while crossing your eyes, biting your tongue, and contorting your arms and back to hold the position), shush, count to 100, pray you don't breathe too loudly, and hope you don't accidentally knock your elbow on the crib. Then, if you do breathe too loudly or forget a step– like the patting of the butt– he wakes up and you start all over.
That was me, three times a day.
So you can only imagine how valuable sleep time was when the child actually slept. The process of getting him to sleep completely wore me out.
One day, shortly after going through the motions for his 2pm nap, I sat my exhausted behind on the couch to catch my breath. Not even 5 minutes later? a faint roar and popping sound coming from a dirt bike getting louder and louder as it came closer to my house. My house! With the finicky-barely-asleep-baby who's bedroom happens to be at the front of the house. The rider did a couple laps in the cul-de-sac (the cul-de-sac where my house is located) then revved off down the street.
My eyes glazed over and I'm pretty sure I had those cartoon steam puff clouds coming out of my ears.
I ran out the front door with the baby monitor in one hand and home phone in the other hand. Cause both are sure to work just fine all the way at the other end of the street… and what I planned to do with the phone? I have no idea. It's an easy object to throw at a person though. Did I mention I was wearing a pair of old maternity pj pants? Oh yes. They were lime colored with pastel polka dots all over. I'm pretty sure I wasn't wearing a bra, either.
I stormed down the street (and when I say stormed, I mean, full on stomping with heated passion in every step), arms crossed in front of my chest, fuzzy slippers on my feet, full on looking like a pastel Muppet. As I rounded the corner, about 20 or so houses down the way, I spotted the culprit; continued another 6 or 7 houses (baby monitor and cordless phone were out of range 13 houses ago) and stopped in his front yard.
All he had to do was take one look at me. Then he said,
Oh. I'm sorry. Do you have a baby? Sleeping?
His apologetic tone iced my fiery soul and my shaking began to slow.
He nodded his teenage head and we exchanged looks.
Mine? Don't ever ride your dirt bike in front of my house ever again between the hours of 9pm-7am, 9am-11am, and 2pm-5pm
His? I'm not going anywhere near that crazy Muppet.
He hasn't been back since.

Bring a skillet full of water to a boil on the stove. Meanwhile, crack the eggs into juice glasses, one egg per glass. When the water boils, gently pour each egg into it, immediately turn off the heat, and cover the skilled. Wait ten minutes (eleven if you want the yolks to set up, but then the white won't be so nice) and take the eggs out of the water. I like mine with a dash Tabasco, or of course as part of eggs Benedict. - Jaume

But I still think he'd find ways to break tackles.

Laser hair removal is a great option for men and women alike who want to permanently remove unwanted hair from their body.
Using the buffing pad in the same area for too long can result in a painful abrasion.
Since their website said you need replacement tips for when they wear down I decided to order it all at once.
Love the nono and am very glad to be able to purchase replacment blades so we can continue using it.
I purchased the pink No NO 8800 model as I have been looking for a miracle hair removal system for my face for years.
I decided to purchase the nono hair removal system because I wanted to get rid of unwanted hair.
Using it 3 times weekly it still has not stopped the hair from growing nor has it thinned it out.
Their customer service said they will send me two units and when I send the extra unit back they will credit my card accordingly.
I advised customer service to cancel the entire order and the customer service supervisor said he could not do that as I was not in their system.
There is no place online to review their company so thought at least if I posted here it may save someone the same scam.
I too experienced problems with customer service and it took a few calls to resolve the problems.
My first NoNo was ordered using the payment plan but when I received the item it was clearly a used NoNo so I returned it.
Fortunately this issue was resolved after one call but the fact that a collection notice was generated was unbelievable.
NoNo for hair removal will be time intensive and costly because I will have to continuously replace the tip and stock up on buffer pads.
You have to keep the no no on a pretty steady pace when you sweep an area or it will not work.
Some of the stubble will stay behind after you sweep the area and the buffer really does help get the hair off for me.
The directions say you shouldnt let the hair get much longer than stubble length.
I have used it for about 3 weeks now and I am noticing the hair coming in more sporadically and less thick.
It is much harder to get the timing of the stroke down on your face since the area is much smaller.
If anyone is complaining about the ineffectiveness of the NoNo device it is surely because they are not using it correctly.
The product IS SO BAD and DOES NOT WORK that I called back a week later to ask for refund instructions.
I called THREE DIFFERENT TIMES and each one of the reps tried to talk me into keeping it.
I called again and now the operator tells me the truth about their return policy.
The kid I talked to said it was his first day and lied to me about the shipping time frame and tried to talk me into cancelling my order and ordering from him.
I did only order one and thank goodness because it already shipped by the time I had called.
On my face there were a couple of thick hairs that I kept going over and it didnt remove them.
It did remove some of the lighter ones but mostly it burned me in couple spots and didnt do a very good job on removing the hairs I wanted it to.
I suppose if you sat there all day and did it you could eventually take all the hair off but I would rather shave for 10 minutes.
The only thing I cannot comment on is the long term effects of it and having the hair not come in as thick or as often over time.
I would have gave it more of a chance but it just seemed ridiculous to go over the same spots countless times and still have hair there that the pad could wipe away either.
So after giving it a try and realizing I am not satisfied with the product I call customer service and they will not issue me a return label until I have had it for at least 45 days.
So basically they know this product is junk and are hoping to get people to buy it and only leave a very small window of opportunity to return it in hopes they forget and get stuck with it.
Well I have the date marked on my calander and November 10th I am getting my label.
I realize its a business and they need to make money but I just think if people knew the whole return policy they would think twice about the trial.
I still may but that is not how it was advertised and just wanted to give everyone a heads up.
Both of these methods require multiple uses due to the way in which body hair grows.
A detailed chart for determining skin tones that are safe with the SensEpil is provided on this site.
No No Hair Removal device is one such product that can be purchased for less than the cost of shaving for 6 months.
Our goal is to provide information and reviews on various hair removal gadgets in the industry.
I used it every day on my face for about a month and then it died and i had to send for a new one.
I used it and it hurt like heck and left many cat like scrashes on my face I went to wk.
I was never so embarresed as every one stared at me wondering what they were looking at i came home looked in the mirrior and saw my face.
Now apparently they have changed the item number or something because all those reviews are gone.
Think I will stay away from this one unless someone I know personally has used it.
I did a google search of reviews for this product and the many initial reviews that were at the top of the search results were all glowingly positive reviews.
However embedded in each of the reviews was a direct link to buy the product at a discount.
There is no customer service what so ever with this company and im just sorry i spent my hard earned cash with them.
I send it back recorded delivery after 2 weeks because I was so dissatisfied with it.
They will just keep draging their feet about the return and then the 60 days will expire.
I am surprised by those folks who wrote in with a negative comment after only using it a couple of times.
I just finished using it and felt compelled to report that after 6 weeks I am definitely seeing less hair growth.
X a week for over 3 months and the results were minimal and still had to shave in between.
At first it seemed to work on peach fuzz on my face but now I am not even seeing results there.
The bit of hair it would remove would just grow back as quickly and it would constantly stall out and would need restarting.
SORRY you are past the 60 day guarantee by 11 days and tried to give me more instructions on how to use it.
I was told to be pretty much disappointed from the lady of the store I bought it from for the first while.
Any men out there that have tried it had success please let me know your stories.
Maybe someone who had purchased could get these people off the air and protect others.
Clearly much of the inflated price is spent on making sure those fake reviews swamp the searches by consumers who are checking out the product.
I used the nono on one leg and a standard razor on the other leg during that time.
I used the nono on my face using the small tip as instructed and I received slight burns across my upper lip.
I looked pretty funny with burn stripes on my mouth that looked like wrinkles at first glance.
I was going to buy a no no and thought this was too good to be true AND it is apparently.
I will be returning the one I purchased and am concerned after reading some comments.
I tried febreeze air fresheners because they say they remove odors and all I could smell was the burnt hair.
I bought the NONO for my wife in Nov as an early Christmas present so that we both could try it for the 60 day triple guarantee money back trial period.
I will be calling them today to return the product as it is not as effective as the product is advertised.
My wife has been using on her legs and I have been using it on my stomach and chest.
I agree with some of the other posters that the first several sites are simply shortcuts to the NONO web site offering the money back trial period.
I would love to see a close up of the hair being crystalized and then buffed off.
I have been using it for years as it gives me a longer time between hair removal but you can not stop using it or you go back to same regrowth.
I am thinking about buying the No No to supplement the cream but unsure after reading these reviews.
I was thinking to buy the no no but now i just dont know any more because the only reason for me is for my facial hair to buy the no no.
I have used the no no for 2 weeks on my face and have seen more results than the 2 years of laser treatment.
I still have to shave my face but I have already seen a reduction in hair growth.
I think that you have to practice on your legs first before you venture to use it on you face.
Oh but it does burns and scars my skin and leaves visible cat like scratches as the wire from the tips are pulled in to my skin by the hair.
I feel that customer service is trying to do their best at blaming the poor workmanship on the user.
I m from Italy and have it has always been a challenge to remove the hair from my upper lip and seeing the result on my body I was truly hopeful.
Not only do I too have the burn scabs and marks on my cheek but it has made the hair on my upper lip thicker with out removing it.
When you return the product they come out with that you have to pay both shipping cost.
I have to use the nono every other day on the thicker dark hair on my upper lip but the finer hair is gone.
In order for you to get them to pay the shipping to return it you have to wait 6 weeks which means they debit your account one more time.
A big thank you to everyone that has taken time to post their experiences with the NO NO.
I used it 3 times a week for about 2 months and the hair regrowth was noticeably thinner.
As we havent heard fromThe Shop after eight weeks I rang them back to enqure about it.
I wrote a letter asking to be sent manufacturer report before picking up the product i new was dangerous or to receive a ful refund.
It would be best to visit a dermatologist or physician so they can verify that you have dermal injury present.
They had to have wriiten their own reviews cuz this thing is a painful piece of junk.
I told them I want my refund within a reasonable amount of time or they will be getting my dr bill and the bill for the burn cream I had to use.
I used to use it specifically for my chin and neck areas being that I am a more hairy in those parts than most women.
I called the company only to be told that I had exceeded my 60day guaranty and so would have to buy a replacement head.
I was also told by the cust serv rep i spoke with that the head that comes with the product at time of purchase would only last for a certain period.
Why would I want to spend money purchasing more products for an item that has not worked for me thus far.
I wanted my money back but that the product should be exchanged and unfortunately that seems to be an impossible task for the company.
I bought it for my granddaughter and she refused to use it after trying it twice.
I have contacted my credit card company who will be hopefully obtaining a refund for me.
Someone really should look at the huge demand here and invent something that really works.
I did my research before purchasing this item and learned that this isnt a HAIR REMOVAL SYSTEM.
Its a Hair treatment that you would use along with your normal everyday shaving regimen.
Many African American women complained that it didnt work anywhere so it really baffled me.
So basically when you run the NO NO 3 to 8 times in that same area the hair is burned and can easily be buffed off.
Its a hair treatment but i do think we can buy cheaper hair treatment creams that can reduce the growth as well.
First I was impressed and yes I did use it consistantly for 2 months then I got fed up because I was unhappy with the results.
But I have seen no change in the hair thickness or growth on the chin and mustache areas.
I called them and was told to send the product plus charger back to them and they would replace it.
I got it this week and tried it on my chin where I had been getting little hairs recently.
I cannot get the light to stay on all the time and the product does not get all the hairs.
The product burns the hair off and there is no proof it is getting beneath the skin and going to the root.
Have had hairs burned on my arms from getting too close to a campfire so I know what heat and fire can do do in terms of hair regrowth.
I think the company needs to make it very clear that this is NOT laser removal but burning.
I would never have bought it if I had known that all I would be doing was burning my skin with a wire filament that heats up.
I used the product once a month for two years but then slowed to once everything three months because it smelled bad and I live in a dorm now.
My aunt has a problem with facial hair and asked me to check this product out for her.
When I was on the website to purchase it I accidentally clicked the wrong button when ordering and could not edit my purchase.
When I called the company they told me there was nothing they could do at that time.
They told me that I would have to wait until I received the order and then send it back.
I realized later that they just wanted a delayed response from me to get past the warrenty period.
I think people with very coarse hair will be extremely disappointed in this product.
I was up late and watched the nono commercial and it sounded perfect for what I needed.
Plus if you try to return it within in 61 days or 91 days you will not get your money back you have to send it back in plenty of time.
How they show you how it works on TV doesnt even work close to that you really have to press down on your skin and go over extremely slow so if you have a good amount it will never work.
Like many found my google search to bring up obviously false testimonials that no no works.
This site appears to bring out the truth that this is an expensive and disappointing gimmick.
Then they use thread twisted and held between two hands and roll it over the hairs on the neck.
If you have been there they offer the same stuff to you as you leave every Restauraunt to clean your hands.
No in January of this year at the Showcase Store in Ontario and purchased Showcase 3 year extended warranty.
I am more upset with Showcase stores in Canada for not standing behind their extended warranty or even honouring the one year product warranty.
I was not told about this when I purchased the product or their extended warranty.
Make sure you get a written contract if you buy anything from Showcase stores in Canada and read it carefully before you purchase it or anything from their stores.
Life is too short to spend days reading complaints that may or may not be valid for you.
If on the off chance it is one of those things that works for you it will be worth the risk.
I am in skin care and was expecting a product that had some similarity in results to that of laser or waxing.
On the legs this literally takes hours to do and then you have stubble the very next day.
I am not waiting for them to pull any more money out of my account I am closing it and will also contact the BBB.
Laser may be more expensive but it WORKS and waxing is cheap and fast and it WORKS.
I think this device was made in the CIA laboratories for torturing the terrorists.
I had back surgery and knee surgery and could not get in position to work on my legs for that long.
I had been using the No No for several days without so much as ONE hair coming out and I needed to get rid of it fast.
And sat down for the glorious day that I would see my hair just go away for ever.
I purchased the 8800 NO NO about 18 months ago and was offered the 60 day trial period.
I first was very disappointed with the product and wanted to return it until I realized that I was over the 60 day return period so I had no choice but to keep it.
I still have a hard time with the chin area and I occassional get whiskers on my right cheek every now and then.
I will continue to use the product until it no longer works and I am still using the first attachment even after 18 months of use.
The customer service is horrible and the product is a complete and total piece of junk.
It only worked for about three weeks and then did not function properly after that.
They tried to tell me that it was user error but the new tip they sent only lasted a week.
Then they do not tell you that the free shipping only applies after you have had this thing for 45 to 60 days.
Why do I want to hold on to this piece of junk any longer than I have to because it is just not working.
So I guess I have to eat the return shipping I just hope they follow through with the rest of the supposed money back promise.
I only had to do it once and that leg is still remarkably smooth even after 30 days.
The customer service number and return address should be on the bottom of your delivery note which you will need.
He explained it is supposed to be a constant sound and a gliding motion on the skin and my problem was in the pressure I used.
The hair is removed as soon as it glides past it and of course there is more hair the next day since we have so very many follicles growing at different rates.
I have about 20 little coarse hairs on my chin and though they are still growing in they are not as course as when I used to pluck them.
I have plucked them in between no no treatments and notice some have what looks like root attached.
I brought the 8800 8 weeks ago and have used it on a small amount of coarse upper lip and chin hair.
I am fully au fait with the hair growth cycle and if I used this daily for the next 5 years it will make not a jot of difference.
I am posting this so that others have a fully informed choice before spending money on an expensive gadget that will not live up to the manufacturers over exagerated claims.
I am so glad I did my research first and found this site and now I will NOT purchase this item.
LAZER HAIR REMOVAL CREAM that is eventually PERMANENT and they include in the kit a special pen size item for removal of facial hair and special creams etc.
It has been on HSN all day today and I was debating ordering it for my disabled son who will not allow anyone to come near him with clippers.
I will post again tomorrow let everyone know what they say about return it within 45 days.
They are seeking for at home hair removal devices that provide a permanent solution for hair removal.
I am very wary about products advertised on tv anyway and these reviews just remind HOW very glad I am that I AM wary.
THEN the product might be taken off of the market before anyone else falls prey to this scam.
We have to choose a right hair removal device from those that would perfectly provide the expected results without affecting you much.
You can find thousands of different hair removal products that are flooded in market.
It is very time consuming and you have to go over all the areas you want to remove hair more then once.
If you try it out for the whole try period in order to get your full refund if they do give you that back which I doubt you will have payed the whole item off and then will be asking for a refund.
The instyler reviews can be arrived from the people those who are using instyler.
The Instyler reviews found to be mandatory thing in order to improve the instyler.
The instyler reviews focus much on good aspects of instyler rotating iron and it is considered as vital in order to give better product to the customers.
They recieved it two weeks ago and as of today my Visa still had not been credited.
DO NOT ORDER THE no no HAIR REMOVAL THEY HAVE FALSE ADVERTISEMENT ON THEIR WEBSITE FOR THE COST THEN THEY COME BACK BILLING MORE.
There is a huge marketing campaign and I guess they persuade enough customers to hang onto these things that at such a high price that they pay for the ones which are returned.
I was considering buying one of these for the wife but the TV ad looked almost too good to be true so decided to do some research first.
It has a little wheel on it that you roll across the area you want to remote hair from.
I purchased No No Hair Removal a few years ago as I wanted to eliminate the unwanted hair on my face.
But they said that was only if I had it for 45 to 50 days which would be long enough for me to see the long term results.
I can understand it if it was doing SOMEthing and I just needed to see how much more it did over time.
The scheme is apparently to delay my shipping long enough for me to forget about returning it until after the trial period.
Being dubious about buying products without actually seeing them I thought I would do some research first.
It is such a shame to see that financial gain plays a major role when marketing products.
Thank you again to everyone and I do sincerely hope that you all get your money back.
Became sceptical after reading loads of bad reviews and kicked myself at having not thought to look for reviews before paying out.
If your looking for a clean finish like shaving then walk away this isnt a product for you.
If your looking for a reduction in the amount of hair and regrowth then used properly this could well be the answer for you.
I have been using it regularly for about a month and there are many places where i have no regrowth.
All they are out to get is your hard earned dollars and you get NOTHING in return.
This procut not only worls perfectly on her but also on my seriously think beard.
I finally got a return authorization but had to pay the shipping costs for the return.
I have been interesxted in looking into the NO NO but now seeing as how everyone s bashing it I will not be trying it.
When tried on my legs just smelled like aweful burnt hair and then looked and most hair was still there.
Sounds like you guys should all get together and do a class action suit for false advertising.
I bought a nono and after 3 wks could get nothing better than stubble on my legs and little difference on my lips and chin.
I rang to send it back but was encouraged to keep trying which I did and it did seem to get better but never smooth.
I tried to take them up on their 60 day money back guarantee and they will not take the product back or refund me.
I was hoping would disapear in a few months never disappeared and if anything got worse.
I bought the NONO You probably we Not told that the parts must all line up with the nono name You also have to use the cream I love my NONO does Not hurt at all.

How can I get my iPhone 4 into DFU?
So my home button went out, and Im on a semi-tether 6.1.3 jailbreak. I had to reboot my phone to get to the homescreen so I can activate Assistive Touch through the settings (I was trapped in Messages) and I forgot the home button was required for a tethered boot.
I cant use the Redsn0w DFU IPSW option because apple isn't signing ios 6.0 (the only ios 6 firmware compatible with Redsn0w), therefore I cant attempt a restore and be put into DFU.
So I really have no idea what to try. My phone doesn't have much use to me without it being jailbroken, and I dont think I can wait til an untether is released. Cause I need a phone.

The best thing for you to do is to get your Home button replaced. Without the functionality of a Home button, it is hard to enter DFU mode.

yea, thats the only thing you can do, and these days since its a 4 its actually pretty cheap, shouldn't be more than $40 to replace the home button.

The Green Bay Packers will see Greg Jennings at Lambeau Field this year, it will just be in a Minnesota Vikings uniform. After days of back and forth and speculation, Jennings finally agreed to join the Vikings.
Jennings was a pre-free agency top choice of the Miami Dolphins but when the market opened, Jennings was nowhere on the Dolphins radar. In fact, he wasn't on anyone's radar. Jennings spoke candidly with the media in regards to wanting a big salary stating he was seeking a 12 million annual deal. Only the Vikings entered into contract talks with him. It's unknown at this time what the final deal was for.
Jennings will turn 30 before the start of the season and is coming off a season that he spent most of on the injured list.
