At just under halfway through his Kickstarter campaign for his eponymous "freshoe," French designer Olivier Iguaneye is only a quarter of the way to his £20,000 goal. He might be cutting it close, but we hope he reaches his funding goal for the Amazon-inspired second-skin footwear:
Ok, so that was just the preliminary research for the seamless slip-on shoe, based on the story that "Amazon Indians dipped their feet in the latex from hevea tree and smoked them in a fire to coagulate the first rubber shoes." The final product is far more refined, featuring slits for ventilation an anatomic form developed by footwear specialists Dulster Design.
Of course, it's not the first time we've seen Amazon-inspired second-skin footwear: almost exactly a year ago, I wrote about 01M OneMoment shoes, arguably the best thing to come out of Valencia since paella (the Spanish city's design week notwithstanding).
However, upon closer inspection, Iguaneye's shoe actually strikes me as quite different from the 01M OneMoment. Yes, they're both examples of lightweight, packable footwear that is designed to feel like walking on bare feet—with the advantages of protection and traction—but the Iguaneye Freshoe is one step removed (so to speak) from the superlatively minimal 01M OneMoment. The aforementioned ventilation speaks to the hygiene concerns of Core commenters, as does the included leather-coated cork insole:
The fact that the insoles are removable allows you to change them. For example, after a long day of walking, you can put a fresh pair for the evening and let the first pair dry. You can also decide to change the color of the insole. When your insole is worn, you can buy a new one to replace it without throwing out the main body of the IGUANEYE.
I'm 'soled' (sorry) on this latter innovation: I've been wearing the insoles from my Outlier × FEIT Supermarines in a pair of cheap Chinese plimsolls (based on a tip from founder Abe) and I can't imagine how I got by without 'em. Insofar as the extra support also provides orthopedic comfort for tentative would-be barefooters, I'm curious to try the Iguaneye Freshoes just for the insoles.
Nevertheless, the form factor is easily the most obvious difference between the two: insole aside, I find the Iguaneye version to be a bit feminine, its silhouette somewhere between a ballet flat and a slipper. Comfortable and practical though it may be, I don't know that I'd say it's a particularly flattering look for a man... which is exactly why I was excited to see that Iguaneye linked to this badass Pirelli commercial starring canonized superhuman Carl Lewis:
What do you think? Supporters can put their money where their mouth is—instead of putting their feet there, as it were—and throw down £40 to preorder on Kickstarter.
Testing, testing...

In "Sing to the Power," a Tapestry of Faith program
Paired participants focus entirely on one another, becoming fully present to one another in the attempt to match their movements exactly.
Form pairs. Explain that in each pair, one person will be the mover and one person the mirror. Ask the partners to sit on the floor, facing one another, with their hands almost touching. The person who is the mirror attempts to follow the movements of the hands and arms of their partner so closely that someone watching can't tell which person is starting the movement and which is following. This goal can only be achieved if the mover is choosing to move in such a way that it is possible for the mirror to reflect their movements. Both partners must be fully present and attentive to each other.
After a couple of minutes of this activity, ring a bell or chime to draw the attention of the group, and ask the "movers" and "mirrors" to switch roles.
After both members of each pair have had a turn at each role, invite the group back together. Lead a discussion with questions such as:
If you have time, repeat the exercise with participants standing and allow full body movements, not just the hands and arms.
If any participant may have difficulty standing or balancing during this activity, or if any uses a wheelchair, have all pairs do the exercise seated.

Turns out that the only way to really own a book is to . . . well, actually own a book. Farhad Manjoo has a good article in Slate about the recent debacle regarding Kindle users who had purchased 1984 and then subsequently had their book deleted when it came out that it was in violation of a copyright:
Let's give Amazon the benefit of the doubt—its explanation for why it deleted some books from customers' Kindles actually sounds halfway defensible. Last week a few Kindle owners awoke to discover that the company had reached into their devices and remotely removed copies of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four and Animal Farm. Amazon explained that the books had been mistakenly published, and it gave customers a full refund. It turns out that Orwell wasn't the first author to get flushed down the Kindle's memory hole. In June, fans of Ayn Rand suffered the same fate—Amazon removed Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, and The Virtue of Selfishness, with an explanation that it had "recently discovered a problem" with the titles. And some customers have complained of the same experience with Harry Potter books. Amazon says the Kindle versions of all these books were illegal. Someone uploaded bootlegged copies using the Kindle Store's self-publishing system, and Amazon was only trying to look after publishers' intellectual property. The Orwell incident was too rich with irony to escape criticism, however. Amazon was forced to promise that it will no longer delete its customers' books.
Don't put too much stock in that promise. The worst thing about this story isn't Amazon's conduct; it's the company's technical capabilities. Now we know that Amazon can delete anything it wants from your electronic reader. That's an awesome power, and Amazon's justification in this instance is beside the point. As our media libraries get converted to 1′s and 0′s, we are at risk of losing what we take for granted today: full ownership of our book and music and movie collections.

Class of 2010 – capture the memories
Posted By Rachel B On April 3, 2010 @ 7:00 am In Photo Book Ideas | 5 Comments
I'm embarrassed to admit that during all of my graduation ceremonies – eighth grade, high school and college – I wasn't really present. I was there in body, but not in spirit, because my mind was preoccupied with either the future – what classes would I take next year? Would I make new friends? You mean I have to find a job now? Or niggling internal details like, is my graduation cap going to stay on my head? Is my hair okay? Sad but true.
Why hadn't I focused on what was going on around me? Like the speeches, my classmates, the weather, the smiling faces. I have a few pictures from each event, but not enough to tell the story. I wish I had taken the time to remember more moments.
Now with digital cameras and self publishing services like Shutterfly, even preoccupied people like me have access to all the details. Friends and family are sure to whip out their cameras at graduation and take at least twenty shots each, ensuring that the event will be well recorded. Wish our family had these kinds of tools during my graduations way back when.
If you have a family member or friend who is graduating from elementary school, high school, college, or any kind of program this year (go class of 2010!), I encourage you to take lots of snaps during the big event, and turn them into a photo book [1]. Because you never know, the graduating senior could be preoccupied like me, and will need some visual reminders that the ceremony actually took place.
Here are a few of my favorite graduation books to get you inspired. What I appreciate about many of these examples is that they include snapshots taken throughout the graduating senior's life, adding more breadth and richness to the collection of memories.

Guest post by Alyssa Cokinos, Redfin real estate agent
As a Redfin agent, I get a lot of questions from homeowners about what they can do to get the highest price possible when they sell their home. Here's my advice on how to prepare your home to sell, when to list it and how to figure out what price to ask. If you have any questions, or if you're thinking about selling your home in the Hampton Roads, Virginia, area, please feel free to get in touch with me.
Make Sure You Can Afford to Sell
Figuring out how much you'll make from selling your home isn't as easy as subtracting your outstanding mortgage from the price you hope to get. Keep in mind that you'll have to pay a number of fees when you sell your home, including the buyer agent commission, excise tax, title insurance and other closing costs, which vary by region. You can use the Redfin Home Sale Calculator to figure out how much money you'll walk away with when it's all said and done.
It only makes sense to sell if your proceeds are in the black. Unfortunately, many people who bought a home in the peak bubble years of 2007 and 2008 are still not in a position to sell. If that's you, you should consider renting out your home if you really need to move.
List Your Home with a Redfin Agent
This may sound self-promotional, but the numbers don't lie. Redfin analyzed 55,000 listings that went on the market in 2013 and found that homes listed with Redfin agents sold an average of three days faster and for $2,424 more than comparable homes. Why? Redfin listings come up first in relevant searches on our site and Redfin provides clients with a customized, highly targeted email and online marketing campaign for their home.
In addition to getting a higher selling price, Redfin charges a lower commission. Instead of the typical 3 percent commission for selling your home, Redfin only charges 1.5 percent. When you combine the commission savings with the higher average sales price, sellers who list with Redfin will have $9,003 more in their pocket on average.
Set a Competitive Asking Price
Determining what your list price should be is an art and a science. Before you list your home, ask your real estate agent for a comparative market analysis, which will help you determine a reasonable price based on sales of similar homes in your area. It's very important to set a good price the first time, so you don't have to drop the price later. Redfin studies have shown that the first week that a listing goes on the market, it receives nearly four times more visits online than it does a month later. Even if you drop the price later, it won't get the same attention.
When in doubt, start with a lower asking price. Bidding wars are a good thing if you're the one selling the home. If you underprice by, say, $10,000, you could get multiple buyers to bid up the price. If you overprice by $10,000, the home may sit on the market for months, and you'll lose a lot more.
Time it Right
If your timing is flexible, you should consider selling your home in winter or early spring. A recent Redfin Report looked at home sales from 2011 to 2013 and found that homes listed between December 21 and March 21 sold one week faster and for slightly more on average than any other season. This goes against the conventional wisdom that spring is the best time to sell your home.
You should also list on a Thursday or Friday, so you are fresh in people's minds when they're making plans with their agent to go see homes on the weekend. Redfin found that homes listed on Thursday or Friday sell closer to their original list price and have the best chance of selling. For a home listed for $400,000, the difference between listing on a Sunday and listing on a Friday could be a sale price $2,800 higher.
Make Your Home Look Good, but Don't Spend Too Much
If your kitchen and bathrooms are REALLY outdated, it can pay to remodel them, but that's the only reason you should consider a major home improvement project. There are a lot of cheaper projects you can do to make a great first impression, including replacing your front door, installing dual-pane windows, adding a fresh coat of paint to the exterior and maintaining the yard. A deep clean is also very important: wash the windows, steam clean the carpets, pressure wash the deck and scrub your appliances. You should also declutter your space, putting things in storage if needed. But don't go overboard; leave some furniture in the rooms so people can picture what it will look like.
Once your home is looking its best, you should hire a professional photographer to take the listing photos. Most people start their home search online, so photos are crucial to getting their attention. In a recent study, Redfin found that homes with professional photos sold faster and for more money. If you sell your home with a Redfin agent, we'll provide free professional photography to make sure your home looks its best.
Carefully Consider Offers, and Be Prepared to Negotiate
An experienced listing agent will know a good offer when they see it. A great agent can guide you through the whole process and advise you when to negotiate prices and terms. A quality agent will know what's "normal" when it comes to offers, and when someone is trying to get a bargain. You should consider all the terms of the offer, not just the price, to make sure you get the best deal.

They're still trying to get some traction on the John Edwards having an affair stories out there. Maybe they're waiting to see if he gets a running mate slot? (At least he has a decent hair cut.)
Oh, and speaking of Barack Obama… this isn't absolutely psychotic at all.

I'm sure my fellow Counterforcers (who are all big sports fans, while I am not) saw this about the blog Fire Joe Morgan being banned in China for the Olympics.
In news of just how wild and fucked up the world is now:

If you went to high school and didn't know that at least one of your teachers was fucking at least one of your classmates, then… Well, can I live in your magical fantasty world for a while? It's clearly got to be Imaginationland!
Granted, it's usually the male teachers, the ones who wear t-shirts for whatever the hip and socially acceptable band is of the day (In my day it was Rage Against The Machine) to class, that are fucking the female students, but whatever.
Shark Week still going strong.
"Your guy's hero of choice can reveal a lot about his personality."
Joss Whedon fans are already starting a campaign to save his new TV show, Dollhouse… before it even airs! And considering it's going to be on Fox, this may be a genius move. Maybe Fringe people should start considering something similar?
Overshare (a word I have grown to loathe). Remember how I said I'd talk about the double standards and hypocrisy of the internet and world of blogging in general? Well, I still plan to, and it'll reflect about how as a man, I could say anything I want about my personal life on this site, and go into the grossest possible details that I'd want to, but the second a woman does it, the very moment she becomes either a person or an internet celebrity, she somehow becomes a slut. Or something worse. It's utter bullshit and I'll go into at some point. And I'll talk about Lena Chen and Julia Allison and especially Emily Gould. And Julia Allison again, because she's just out there that much.
Speaking of which: Liz Wurtzel, where have you gone? We miss you.
Oh well. That's enough. Go back to having one of those kind of days.

So, I have been saving my yeast from various batches in order to save $7.00 on liquid y east. If I use a different yeast, say "White Labs Irish Ale" yeast instead of California Ale V will I have bad results? The beer i'm going to make is arrogant bastart or an IPA. Is there a guide to yeast strains and how they taste?
Thanks for the reassurance. That is exactly what I figured.
I would go to White Labs' site and compare the key characteristics of the two strains, make sure that the attenuation of one isn't dramatically different than the other for example. I've been tending to stick with dry yeast anyway, as I just want something clean, simple, cheap, and effective.
Other than attenuation, in an IPA it would be very difficult to notice the difference between these two yeasts. The Irish might have problems if you push the ABV too high.
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!" "I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
Yup. Nottingham and Safale-56. Haven't failed me yet!

The Spiritual Exercises ReclaimedUncovering Liberating Possibilities for Women The Spiritual Exercises
Reclaimed is an extraordinarily lucid and wise reinterpretation of the
Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyola. It brilliantly explains key themes
and movements in this profound spiritual process. It places the Spiritual
Exercises within the historical context in which they originated and illuminates
both the problems and possibilities this spiritual pedagogy poses for women.
This volume is the fruit of a remarkable collaboration among three authors,
all experienced spiritual directors, who thoroughly understand the dynamics
of the Spiritual Exercises and the reactions they can evoke in women. Their
perceptive and often startlingly original insights are grounded in more
than twenty years of experience of women making and giving the Exercises.
Although women will particularly discover creative possibilities for themselves
through this reinterpretation, so too will men discover many fresh ways
of looking at the Exercises, their processes, themes, and key dynamics.
This is one of the best companion volumes on the Spiritual Exercises for
all who guide others through the Exercises and the only comprehensive one
for women. --Janet Ruffing, Fordham University ISBN

Skiers and snowboarders are a unique bunch – passionate about the slopes, excited to share their experiences, and busy planning their next ski adventure the minute the last one ends. They also happen to be a travel marketer's dream demographic: young, tech-savvy, and flush with disposable income that they're happy to spend on complex ski trips. Phocuswright's U.S. Ski and Ski Traveler Report digs into the details about this crowd, providing valuable insight about their behavior, attitudes, and motivations, including their shopping and buying habits. It also highlights the differences between skiers from various geographical regions, enabling marketers to tailor their strategies to the customers they want to attract.

Wow, it's weird how Kmart decides to put 50 chrome black Darth Vaders in a group just like the other things that only cost $3.50 - $5 USD. They're worth at least $30 USD...
But to LEGO they all cost the same to produce. It's only market forces which inflate the price.
So like a big kid I ran out and bought some lego to enter :-). Competition is a rather awkward one in the sense that you will have to visit the store on 2 occasions to see if you have won a prize. You have to buy your Lego and enter your receipt number online and then you are given a pdf file with your code which appears in a Minifig torso and head you will have to print this out and take it back to Kmart and place it in the decoder in the Lego aisle at Kmart. (My Kmart hasn't received one yet)
If you have won a instant prize you will have to log back on and enter the code printed out at Kmart to claim the bonus prize. To enter for the trip to Legoland you will need 2 purchase receipt's. I couldn't see too many people going through all that to win a bonus prize, but as they say you gotta be in it to win it.
To explain to the non-Aussies, it's school holidays in some Australian states this week. That's why there are specials in K-mart and Big W. As for the competition procedure, that's almost (but not) as complicated as claiming the cash-back when you buy an Acer computer.
I wanna have a lego shop or something like that in Finland !
So many news from down-under now!
Hmm, previous post gone... anywho, I don't think it is really necessary to go back to the store to check to see if you are an instant winner. The words "YOU WIN" or "TRY AGAIN" appear in a big box in the middle of the torso, and it is fairly obvious what the result is if you sorta squint at the .PDF...
O.K so i tried the "squint" method and no luck. Has anyone come across the Lego decoder "instore" yet? . I have been to 4 Kmart's in W.A and not one has the decoder. The workers I have spoken with are surprised when I ask about the competition as well.
Has anyone won a prize yet?
Is it possible to enter in your pdf printout details onto the website to see if you have won without visiting a Kmart store? The decoder is probably just there to get you to go back to kmart...
@ clonetrooper. I think you may be right, after looking at the pdf printout I noticed the 8 digit claim number. I guess you can just enter the claim number in the instant win section and one would assume if it's not a winning number the instant win prize would be rejected.
I submitted my code and receipt number a couple of days ago, I received an empty email in reponse. I have no idea whether it was a winning code or not as like everyone else I'm yet to find a store with a decoder.
I'm 100% sure when I squinted I saw YOU WIN, but after watching me for several minutes squinitng, blinking fast and trying to find some pattern in the random dots, my wife is more certain it said I was a LOSER....
I haven't submitted my instant win code yet, So I'm not sure what happens after this is done. I'm hoping to submit it during the last week of the competition and win one of the Darth Vader's :-).
I managed to get hold of a decoder, it is just a piece of plastic with even more squares on it. Picture of the decoder can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/36285227@N08/3970762876/
@MinifigHQ, Thanks, I went through with a pen and marked all the squares (slow day at the office) and did indeed win.
I was thinking about delaying claiming the prize also, but thought that they must know when you submit your receipt so they can allocate 1 of the 50 prizes for that week to you. But it could just be the first 50 claims for the week that receive prizes.
Well, I can officially say that it doesn't work with the first 50 claims received for each week.
I submitted a claim on the second day of launch and wasn't a winner..........
Maybe one day in the future.......
I won! when I entered in my claim number last week it sent me an empty email. This week I tried again using the same claim number and it sent me an email saying I had won.
@ clone_trooper, does the email say what prize they are sending you?

Top Speed:

Number Built:
Mercedes coupes have always been eye-catchers, the two door design and resultant window shape making for sleek sophistication.
Introduced at the end of 1968 as the last of the "new generation" cars, the chassis, wheelbase and track were identical to the 250 sedan however the roof was nearly two inches lower and the passenger compartment was shorter.
There were no pillars between the front and rear side windows and the chrome strips on the roof made the car look considerably more sporty than the staid sedan models.
Powered by either a carburetor engine (C) or electronically fuel injected engine (CE), the vehicle boasted caliper-type disc brakes and radial tires for superb road holding.

Simon Allison covers Africa for the Daily Maverick, having cut his teeth reporting from Palestine, Somalia and revolutionary Egypt. He loves news and politics, the more convoluted the better. Despite his natural cynicism and occasionally despairing tone, he is an Afro-optimist, and can't wait to witness and chronicle the continent's swift development over the next few decades.
Good news for all you folk who like your social networks a little less vanilla: after an enforced absence, Al-Shabaab has returned to Twitter, and is already back to its usual, combative form. It may be losing the war on the ground, but the propaganda battle is far from over. By SIMON ALLISON.
Blaise Compaoré's resignation on 31 October 2014, the day after a historic insurrection, came as no surprise. Growing old and out of touch with reality, his regime has given way to an uncertain transition, led by a military-civilian government that must work with provisional, weak institutions. The government has nine months to organise presidential and legislative elections scheduled for 11 October 2015. International partners must help Burkina Faso achieve this goal, while maintaining a dialogue with the army to ensure it does not remain in power at the end of the transition. They also must not repeat the mistake of turning a blind eye to poor governance and supporting the Compaoré regime to safeguard their own strategic interests. By the INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP.
Journalists are the primary watchdogs in any democracy, but what happens when those watchdogs lose their bite? In Lesotho, a pliant, uncritical media is failing hold anyone to account in the run-up to the February elections. By MICHAEL J. JORDAN.
A convoy of 400 Chadian military vehicles and hundreds of soldiers is en route to Cameroon and north-eastern Nigeria. The target: Boko Haram, which is running rings around Nigeria's own security forces. But which Chad will turn up? The efficient, professional militant-hunters who did so well in Mali? Or the human-rights violators and rebel colluders who were so unpopular in the CAR? By SIMON ALLISON for ISS Today.
Mogadishu International Airport illustrates how much has changed in what was once described, by former British foreign secretary William Hague, as the world's "most failed state". Among other notable changes, a scheduled Turkish Airways flight stands in front of a spanking new charcoal grey terminal. But Mogadishu's airport also illustrates how much remains to be done before Somalia fully escapes the reality of being a failed state. By GREG MILLS and DICKIE DAVIS.
Maiduguri is the jewel of Nigeria's north-east: it is the biggest city, the most important trading hub and a historical icon. It was also the birth place of Boko Haram, and the militant group is determined to make it the capital of its Islamic Caliphate. The city is under siege, and it seems to be only a matter of time before Boko Haram make good on this threat. By SIMON ALLISON.
By the narrowest of margins, Edgar Lungu won the Zambian presidential election and was sworn in as president on Sunday. The new man faces several daunting challenges, and just a few months in which to meet them. By SIMON ALLISON.
Thanks to the Kouachi brothers, the world seems to care about Nigeria again. By TERENCE McNAMEE.
Three elderly sisters survive who speak the Nǀuu language. In the heat of Upington, one of them, lacking the resources to do so elsewhere, is teaching local children to speak it outside her house. With the help of a local academic team, they've even developed an orthography to ensure the history and heritage doesn't vanish. By MARELISE VAN DER MERWE.
Ahead of elections this year, the Ethiopian government is cracking down hard on any kind of free press – shutting down publications, jailing journalists and harassing their families. This is not just Ethiopia's problem, however. As the home of the African Union, and as an oft-punted role model for African development, Ethiopia's censorship problem is Africa's too. By SIMON ALLISON.
There are plenty of dodgy things going on in Africa, and far too few journalists around to expose them all. In many instances, the truth behind fishy elections and shady arms deals is only revealed through the bravery of ordinary people who tell us what is actually going on. Whistleblowing is a dangerous business, however, and whistleblowers need all the help they can get. A new online platform should make at least one stage of this process a little easier, and safer. By SIMON ALLISON.
After the late but not unexpected death of President Michael Sata, Zambia must now choose his replacement. There are two main candidates, but whoever wins has the unenviable task of fixing a failing economy, with just 18 months to do so. Already, all eyes on the 2016 election, which really is the main prize. By SIMON ALLISON.
The Save the Rhino Trust (SRT) has launched an internal investigation after the Board was presented with a letter mid-December outlining possible collusion between some staff members and poachers who have killed at least 17 critically endangered Kunene black rhinos since late 2012. The crisis at the SRT is, however, just part of a larger one in anti-poaching law enforcement and natural resource management in the so-called 'Big Three' communal conservancies - Palmwag, Abenab and Sesfontein - in Namibia's southern Kunene. By JOHN GROBLER.
Following the harrowing massacre of thousands of people by Boko Haram earlier this month, the young Global leaders of the World Economic Forum call, in the strongest terms, for a much more decisive response from Nigeria's president. By the KUDIRAT INITIATIVE FOR DEMOCRACY.
It took a long time for the rains to reach parts of Malawi and Mozambique, but when it did rain, it poured – and poured and poured and poured. SIMON ALLISON reports on the severe floods that have killed dozens and left hundreds of thousands homeless.
By Julian Rademeyer and Eleanor Whitehead for AFRICA CHECK.
Jacob Zuma is a president in search of a legacy – at least one that's not centred around corruption charges, maladministration or palatial homesteads. He thinks he has found a worthy project, in the form of a new continental military intervention force intended as a powerful African solution to African problems. Not everyone is so sure. By SIMON ALLISON.
Late last year, dozens of baby elephants in the Hwange Elephant Park were forcibly removed from their families and prepared for export. Now, Zimbabwe has confirmed its intention to ship 60 elephant calves off to undisclosed destinations in France, the United Emirates and China. While Zimbabwe defends the move with claims of over-population, conservationists condemn the trade as both unethical and unwise in the face of the poaching crisis. Killed for teeth and banished for money, Zimbabwe's elephants are under siege. By ANDREA TEAGLE.
While the world catches up to the horrors of the massacre in Baga, Nigeria, GREG NICOLSON talks to those trying to salvage something from the ashes, including one of the Amnesty workers who said it might be the deadliest attack in Boko Haram's already violent history.
If you thought 17 dead in Paris was bad enough for one week, you were wrong. In Nigeria, more than 2,000 people are feared dead after Boko Haram launched its deadliest-ever attack on a strategic north-eastern town. But where are the solidarity marches, the passionate editorials and the international condemnations? Some lives, it seems, are more valuable than others. By SIMON ALLISON.
The headlines may have moved on from the fighting in the Central African Republic, but the country itself hasn't. Far from it. SIMON ALLISON examines the struggle to keep the world interested in a drawn-out crisis that isn't getting better any time soon.
The aftermath of the failed coup in the Gambia has reached the USA, where two alleged plotters are being put on trial by US authorities. This is the best case scenario for Gambia's president-for-life Yahya Jammeh, who survives with his power reinforced by a de facto American endorsement. By SIMON ALLISON.
In the DRC, South African troops find themselves in the middle of a nasty, intractable dispute between the Congolese government and the all-too-real ghosts of Rwanda's genocidal past. SIMON ALLISON examines the likelihood of our soldiers entering the fray.
News and politics rest for no man, not even weary journalists or the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ, and while millions of Africans were celebrating the festive season, the continent continued on its merry way. If you were lucky enough to switch off the outside world for a week or two, here's a round-up of what's been making headlines to ensure you don't start the new year on the back foot – and a peek at what's waiting for Africa in 2015. By SIMON ALLISON.
From the Boko Haram insurgency and the nightmare of Ebola, to quack cures and dodgy data, Africa Check fact-checked dozens of claims in several African countries this year. By AFRICA CHECK.
Now for the good news. While Ebola and civil war may have dominated the headlines, there have also been plenty of encouraging stories on the continent this year. By SIMON ALLISON.
Caught between the triumph of election victory and the disquiet of losing almost 20 percent vote share, Mozambique's ruling party, FRELIMO, faces a challenging future. Mozambique was thought to have turned the page on its violent past, yet economic progress is thin, and political relations fraught as FRELIMO continues to face a serious challenge from its nemesis RENAMO. By PAULA CRISTINA ROQUE.
Let's be honest: 2014 has not been a great year for Africa. The continent has been rocked by disease, terrorism and civil war, all of which threaten the fragile gains that underpinned that 'Africa Rising' narrative. SIMON ALLISON highlights this year's worst moments.
Love him or loathe him, there's no questioning his influence: this year, Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has done more than any other African to shape the destiny of both his country and his continent. From defying the International Criminal Court to beating back Al Shabaab in Somalia to militarising the Kenyan state, Kenyatta has been an almost permanent fixture in the headlines (and not always for the right reasons). SIMON ALLISON examines his controversial record.
Even stagnation requires renewal, as Robert Mugabe well knows – he is the master of changing things up just to keep them the same (for himself at least). The latest Zanu-PF party conference, which concluded on Saturday, was a textbook example of this. In maintaining his status quo, President Mugabe fundamentally altered Zimbabwe's political landscape – and sacrificed a few high-profile comrades in the process. SIMON ALLISON picks out the key moments, and what they mean for the country.

The fox from up above and the fox from down belowThe last novel by Peruvian writer Jose Maria Arguedas, set in the booming port city of Chimbote, is an expression of the human costs of rapid modernization. Tragically, the malaise of the society is reflected in the literal self-destruction of the author, a process chronicled in four diaries woven into the novel itself. Arguedas lost his struggle with suicide as he neared the end of the novel and shot himself to death, closing his own life but deliberately leaving his novel open. Fittingly, the forces of destruction in this rich and fascinating work are wondrously transformed by language and emotion, by faith and redemption. As with the other volumes in the Pittsburgh Editions of Latin American Literature, The Fox From Up Above and the Fox From Down Below contains critical essays providing background and analyses of the text for classroom use. |

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Tyson!
Facts about Tyson
- Breed: Boxer Mix
- Color: Brindle - With White
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
Tyson's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, and good with kids.
Other Pets at Associated Humane Societies
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Tyson, a Tinton Falls Boxer dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Boxer for sale in Tinton Falls, or seeking a Boxer dog from a breeder in Tinton Falls.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Tinton Falls already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Tinton Falls breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Boxer breeders who help with Boxer rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Tinton Falls paves the way for another one to be saved.

As we spotlight a new player each week we will provide an in depth look into her life on and off the course. This week be sure to read the buzz all about Brooke Pancake get to know her.
Alabama's Brooke Pancake named Amateur Athlete of the Year for 2012
Brooke Pancake won the Honda Award last year as the top women's collegiate golfer. She was honored as female student-athlete of year by the Southeastern Conference. She made All-American and Academic All-American, and finished second individually at the NCAA championships.
The highlight, however, was a 5-foot putt on the 18th hole at the national championship tournament in Franklin, Tenn., that gave the University of Alabama its first women's golf national championship. Read More>>
Pancake finishing where she started
When Brooke Pancake was 10 years old, her grandparents drove her up from Chattanooga on a Sunday afternoon to come to a week-long golf camp at Golf House Tennessee in Franklin.
"There were tears in our eyes when we left and she had tears in her eyes," recalled Jim Eakin. "I told my wife, 'I'm sure I'll be back after her tomorrow.'
"But we didn't come back until the next Sunday. When that happened, I knew golf had taken on her." Read More>>
Keeping Her Eye on the Ball
Last Christmas was exceptional for Brooke Pancake on both ends of the spectrum. On one hand, she was unwrapping presents in a Staybridge Suites after a fire gutted her childhood home. On the other, she received word she would represent the United States on the Curtis Cup team — a highlight of her career.
"I was so honored," recalls the 22-year-old national champion. "It was such a confidence booster and helped me determine to keep pursuing golf as a future." While she held the best record of anyone on the American team, Pancake still says the call took her by surprise. Read More>>

someone told me yesterday that Colorado has already banked over 200 million in taxes.
not me. Considering what TB gave up to Oak for Gruden(2 1st and 2 2nd), I can only imagine what SF would have pillaged from our draft class. I heard on the radio that the rumor was our #4, 26, and 35. Im soooooooo glad he didn't come for that price.
your argument is ridiculous. It sounds likes one of those anti pot commercials.
Probably....but I like our chances with a kid from that area with LJ recruiting him. He really has a good rep in that area as he has had an influence there for many yrs.
I would have to say you broke 2 bones. Looks like you completely shattered the fibula breaking it in half. Your body weight caused the fibula to splinter laterally and pull on the tibiofibular joint. That caused the second break in your Tibia. That is one ugly ankle fracture. Good luck with recovery.
there are 3 things in this life that is guaranteed.
1. Death
2. Taxes
3. UFM will haul in a top 5 recruiting class.
im surprised to not see any tarblooders on this list. There is normally at least one player worth taking from Glenville.
after suffering through the browns, im glad to be a buckeye fan. At least I can root for one dominant team.
signing day is becoming a holiday in my household. Urb is awesome. I cant wait till next season. Go bucks!
my heart tells me OSU, but my gut tells me Meatchicken state.
Eddie was truly a great buckeye. Great college career, great pro career, great off the field track record. He may have been the best rb I've seen play in the S&G.
it is total BS. How do you offer a kid a scholly and then take it away for performance is just ridiculous? The NCAA needs to step in and penalize/punish the schools who do this. This is more akin to a nfl team not a college sport which is supposed to be all about the student athlete, not winning at all costs. Bama and the other oversigning schools need to be punished.
For every kid that involuntarily loses his scholly, the school should lose that scholly until that player would have graduated. That will help stem the tide(no pun intended)
love the future of the buckeyes. Cant wait to see all Urban recruits on the field.
hey now... cmon man. lay of the brownies.
get a dvr, start the game a half hr behind, and watch commercial free till almost the 4th quarter. That is what I do for every OSU/Browns game.
hilarious. Why would a school from the B1G(one of the hardest conferences to become a member) go to the ACC which will prob fold within the next 5-10 yrs. It just doesnt make any sense. That is almost like the canadian football league asking the Browns or another nfl team to leave the nfl to join the CFL.
im more pumped about LJ Sr. With Urb backing him on recruiting visits and the OSU brand, his stellar recruiting is only going to get better.
i like the hire. It will hurt some of our recruiting on the east coast, but if it makes the B1G better, im all for it. PSU needs to be good, as does tsun, for the B1G to be elite once again.
The only negative I have is Franklin is probably going to follow in BoB's footsteps and take the payday to go to the nfl in the next couple yrs.
put him in a bodybag Johnny! I love your pic
the ncaa should open a office at Bama just to keep tabs on these guys.
For Vrabel's replacement I say we go after another former buckeye. Chris Spielman? Any interest in coaching LB's?
DAMN!!! This Blows.
I would have never thought that 2 of our D coaches would be grabbed up. I would have thought maybe a coach or 2 on O, since our D was the worst in yrs.
on a side note, a guy I went to hs with was spiked with lsd at a party. He walked home unknowing that he was tripping, saw a demon and killed it. The demon turned out to be a shaggy looking homeless man. He is now in prison for the rest of his life.
im sorry but ecstasy is a serious drug that is known for causing death among teens. If Noah was spiked with E at a party, the police should step in and do an investigation and find out who drugged him. Its one thing to know when you are on E and its another to not. Noah is lucky to still have his health.

Pizza is one of my favorite foods, and the sweet sauce at Papa John's is my all-time favorite. My viewpoint is, if you're going to make it at home, don't make it "just as good," make it better!

The "butterfly effect" revisited
12:02 pm in Uncategorized by David Seaton
Moth by night |
In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependency on initial conditions in which a small change at one place in a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a later state. The name of the effect, coined by Edward Lorenz, is derived from the theoretical example of a hurricane's formation being contingent on whether or not a distant butterfly had flapped its wings several weeks earlier. Wikipedia
I remember that the "butterfly effect" was much in vogue in the late 1990s and was often quoted by the chaos theoreticians that were instrumental in designing the risk modeling that ruled finance up till 2008 and signally failed to predict the implosion of the financial system.
I think that today it would be more appropriate to talk about the "moth effect".
Moths are not as conventionally "pretty" as butterflies, but are often stunningly beautiful in a rather sinister way; and yes they flap their wings too and they often arrive in large numbers and eat their way through closets full of wool or gardens full of geraniums.
Unlike the butterfly, the moth is seen as a plague and a pest… you don't go to the store to buy "butterflyballs", do you?
And then, rather poetically: on balmy, breathless, summer nights, moths often commit suicide en masse in the flickering flames of dinner candles, driven by their love, need and obsession with light…
The romantic, sinister, light-driven and pestilent moth: a fitting symbol of our time.
The greatest clusters of metaphorical, wing flapping, wool chewing, suicidal moths that I detect today seem to me to be long term products of our economic system, such as the doomsday effect of global warming and the Oozlum bird effects of the advances in Artificial Intelligence.
Global warming is the long term effect of the industrial revolution and its spread to the entire globe, but so is Artificial Intelligence.
One can imagine such technology outsmarting financial markets, out-inventing human researchers, out-manipulating human leaders, and developing weapons we cannot even understand. Whereas the short-term impact of AI depends on who controls it, the long-term impact depends on whether it can be controlled at all. Stephen Hawking and friends – Huffington Post
But long before it comes to all that, in the near future AI will be putting nearly everyone (except maybe the people who clip the toenails and give blowjobs to elderly billionaires) out of work.
AI is the result of the geometrically accelerating drive for technological innovation, which we are told is wonderful and which will solve all our problems, but which in fact is not really a search for the greatest good for the greatest number, but on the contrary, generally driven by the intense dog eat dog competition of our economic system, where to avoid being eliminated, management and shareholders are constantly looking for greater efficiencies in cutting costs and getting more productivity with fewer people, even if this reduces the number of potential consumers. The now classic metaphor for this is Kodak, which once had 140,000 employees being replaced by Instagram, which had 13 employees when Facebook bought it.
Ironically, this pressure to innovate may finally be what fatally destabilizes our system.

bought this for $5 at shoprite in the jamaican ethnic section....very light after shower splash with a nice powdery orange floral scent,,,very mild and nice in the summer...does not project much...well worth 5 bucks
Even if you get tired of it tomorrow, you're only out $5.
I could have given it to him for free straight out of the tap.
Florida Water is a wonderful and cheap scent, and you can sometimes find Orange Blossom Water as well. These are in the true spirit of the eaux worn by men of the 19th century.

The Standard & Poor's Report In Plain Language
On Monday Standard & Poor stunned everyone by rating the United State's long term credit rating from stable to poor.
Let's break it down.
From Keith Hennessey:
Yesterday's report by Standard & Poor's on the U.S. government's credit rating is driving headlines. You can learn a lot more from reading the primary source document than from news coverage of it.
Here is what S&P did:
"On April 18, 2011, Standard & Poor's Ratings Services affirmed its 'AAA' long-term and 'A-1+' short-term sovereign credit ratings on the United States of America and revised its outlook on the long-term rating to negative from stable.The news is in the latter part: S&P downgraded its "outlook on the long-term [credit] rating [of the U.S. government]." This is a warning sign.
Right. Kind of like a gaping bleeding wound is a warning sign that you might bleed out.
Let's put this in plain jargon.
Basically S&P said that they didn't believe that these yahoos in Washington (and I'm paraphrasing here) were going to reach an agreement on our "budgetary challenges." They say if these yahoos don't reach a long term agreement and implement it by 2013, the U.S. fiscal profile is screwed. That's not a technical term, but it fits.
"In 2003-2008, the U.S.'s general (total) government deficit fluctuated between 2% and 5% of GDP. Already noticeably larger than that of most 'AAA' rated sovereigns, it ballooned to more than 11% in 2009 and has yet to recover."
The S&P and Hennessey agree with Chairman Paul Ryan that entitlement spending is "the main source of fiscal pressure."
Plain jargon? Entitlements are killing us.
When are we going to take this seriously? What is it going to take? This is no longer partisan. This is about the financial health of our country. No leader has had the guts to force us to look at entitlements, with their fraud, with their ridiculous handouts. I believe we can cut entitlements, and still take care of those who truly need it. The problem is we take care of too many who are more than capable of taking care of themselves. It's become a con artist's game. It's time to shut that part down. We also pay for senior's health care costs when they are wealthy AND have their own insurance (my parents come to mind). It's crazy.
Hennessey has a more sophisticated view than mine. He describes the other short-term fiscal risks, so please read his.
But he ends with why this might not get done. He hits the nail on the head.
The greatest obstacle to constructive negotiations is the President's attack rhetoric, in which he today accused Congressional Republicans of "doing away with health insurance for … an autistic child" and potentially causing future bridge collapses like the one in Minnesota that killed 13 people.
Maybe the S&P report will scare the President's team into treating the long-term problem seriously rather than using it as a campaign weapon. I'm not holding my breath.
As long as Democrats use this sort of unacceptable scare rhetoric, nothing will get done. This isn't how a leader does things. He doesn't throw out fireballs when our country's health is at stake. This isn't about his re-election. This isn't about his campaign. So stop with the nonsense. Roll your sleeves up Mr. President, come to the table like a leader, not a candidate, and do your job.
Update: The Obama administration tried to get S&P NOT to lower it's outlook for the United States. No surprise there. S&P retained their integrity though.

Therefore Millbrook, like all of our villages, offers the active, independent lifestyle we know is so treasured by each one of our residents, with the reassurance of knowing someone is always there to help should you need it.
Please explore our website at your leisure to find out more about village life. If you'd like more information please contact us and a member of our team will be happy to help. We are looking forward to welcoming our first residents to their new homes in Summer 2014 and welcome early enquiries, as properties are currently available to purchase off-plan.
