Unequal Opportunities for UK Actors
Julie Walters is the latest actor to claim that opportunities for young actors in the UK are unequal in today's Daily Mirror. There seems to have been a slew of similar claims in recent months from the likes of Ian Mckellen, Judie Dench, Stephen Morrisey and Stephen McGann.
How would economists illustrate this issue?
If you are an A2 Economics student (and depending on which awarding body you sit), you may well have covered Marginal Revenue Product, drawn the 'walking stick' MRP curve and applied such a theory to inequality of opportunity for females or people from a minority ethnic background in the UK. Could the same be applied to acting?

The ONS published the Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings today, which contains some very useful data. For the first time, they have produced an interactive tool to help explore some of the new figures. It graphically illustrates the occupations with the highest and lowest earnings, allows the user to see which occupations have similar salaries, and incorporates a couple of quick quizzes comparing. It would look good on a whiteboard as an introduction to Labour Markets and some of the issues around gender pay gaps, different pay rates for different occupations and elasticity of supply of labour.

I love a story that really can resonate with students and get them 'irked'. It struck me yesterday that reading about a recent Bristol University research paper that claims that school admission policies lead to greater inequality might strike a chord with some young people.
The study suggests that the common policy in the UK of prioritizing admission places in primary and secondary schools based upon how close a student lives to that school continues a cycle of inequality. The argument is that, wealthier people are more able to afford to move to areas with higher performing schools and so are more inclined to do so. People without that facility have less choice in where to send their children and may have to stick with local schools despite their relative poor performance. So the cycle continues ..... poorer people receive a poorer quality education and are therefore less equipped to get the necessary qualifications to earn higher wages.

AQA ECON3 & ECON4 Worked Answersis a new printed resource from the tutor2u Economics team which we expect to be available for dispatch from early December 2014.
Short presentation on 'Perfect Competition'
Here's a pleasant and short Powerpoint presentation on Perfect Competition that you may wish to include as part of any lesson on the subject. The presentation shows how price, supply and average and marginal revenue shifts as more firms enter the market and the impact that has on profits.

Look out for more diagram testing resources as part of our upcoming Wow Economics CPD events. Regular blog contributor Virang Dal has created a Powerpoint resource called 'Diagram Dissection' that asks students to identify the 'body parts' of a series of 28 economic diagrams.
Costing/Revenue activity to set in class or for homework
Here's a short activity in testing student understanding at working out fixed, variable, average and marginal costs and then total, average and marginal revenue. Using a 'Smartwatch' case study as the backdrop the activity asks students to calculate costs and revenues and then work out the profit maximisation and sales maximisation points. Oh yes, and students have to plot a chart as well!

Welcome Back! A quick fire resource for your returning A2 students - 'Whilst you were away'
Following a similar format to last week's AS 'World of Economics', this free resource available from the download link below is a rapid 10 minute starter for the first class with your returning A2 students.
Entitled 'Whilst you were away', the resource shows a montage of images. Each image also has a question and all relate to news stories from around the world during the months of July and August 2014. The montage remains on screen with a 3 minute timer fading away at the bottom of the screen - ask your students (individually or in small teams) to answer all 9 questions in the 3 minutes available.
Then go through the answers one at a time - there is an individual slide showing the answer to each question plus a supplementary question for each image to stimulate discussion about how the news stories impact on economics. This is a Powerpoint resource so feel free to edit the questions as you see fit.

De-mergers often figure in EdExcel Unit 3 questions e.g. on the structured multiple choice - so this one from mining giant BHP Billiton is a good example to be aware of and to understand the key drivers behind the decision. BHP Billiton plan to sell (divest) non-core assets such as their aluminium, manganese and nickel mines.
As always - focusing on core competencies, streamlining operations to avoid diseconomies of scale lie at the heart of the de-merger process
BHP Billiton is hugely profitable! BHP achieved full-year profits last year of $US13.8bn helped by a 15th straight year of record iron ore production.

An almost perfect example of price discrimination is evident in this market revealed on the BBC online news site - read this section carefully!
"Charges vary for some motorists, even if they are picking up the same vehicle from the same location and from the same hire company."
Then read through the article to find clues as to how some vehicle hire businesses have been able to segment the market and discriminate between drivers from different countries inside the EU.
The regulators are onto the issue - expect some action unless vehicle hire businesses adjust their pricing tactics!

A report out yesterday from the Health and Social Care Information Centre shows a dramatic fall in the consumption by young people (aged 11 to 15) of our favourite demerit goods – alcohol, cigarettes and drugs. The report suggests that over the last decade regular smoking fell from 9% to 3% of 11- to 15-year-olds. Regular alcohol drinking dropped from 25% to 9%. Drug use has halved from 12% to 6% over this 10 year period.
This, of course, is very good news with regards to the relative health of our youth. As an economics teacher the first question I would ask my students is how this downturn has been achieved? What has happened either within the market or with government intervention to shift consumption in this way? It could be argued that this represents the most successful example of government intervention into markets to change behaviour and can be attributed to regulation, restriction of use and good old education! Information failure does not appear to have had an impact and the political will to succeed has been fairly uniform among the major parties in power.
For me, of course, it also offers the opportunity to do the next in my series of numerical activities in preparation for the arrival of the new specifications in 2015!

Shareholder activism regarding executive pay is covered in this article from the Guardian. Note too the emergence of TNT Post as a competitor in the cities for final mile delivery of business and household mail - the mail market is becoming more contestable.
The Royal Mail's latest market report is an interesting read for those who want to study market dynamics in more details - for example the continued growth (but high contestability) in parcels contrasted with a trend decline in the volume of letters sent through the post - click here for the 2014 market overview: http://ar2013-14.royalmailgroup.com/overview/marke...
Calculation time! CMA recommends banks provision of current accounts should be investigated
Today's announcement that the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) are recommending that the High Street Banks' provision of current accounts should be investigated for lack of competition may not surprise many. The case study may be valuable when looking at competition in oligopolistic markets and a report can be found from this link. The BBC take on the story can be found from this link.
I also thought it offered a chance to do some calculations! Given my current theme of bringing the new levels of assessment of numeracy and quantitative methods in the 2015 specifications of A level economics ever increasingly to the attention of our teaching community, where better to do some number work than when looking at market share in the banking industry!

The UK Financial Conduct Authority has announced direct interventions in the market for payday loans - the high cost short term loans market which has expanded rapidly in recent years led by businesses such as Wonga.

According to some sources, Dropbox was the 37th online storage solution to be developed for the web - but despite early failures and late entry it has emerged as the cloud storage product of choice for over 300 million people. The firm is now estimated to be worth about £5.9bn.
This BBC article looks at the background to the story. Article can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-27579790

The financial crisis has undoubtedly created a demand in popular culture for works which portray capitalism in a bad light, such as the recent best seller by Thomas Piketty. Piketty's writing has gathered increasing attention from economists, and his arguments do not really bear scrutiny.
The focus of Piketty's work is the long-run evolution of the ratio of capital to income. He claims that this is now high by historical standards, and will rise even further as the 21st century unfolds. Wealth will become more concentrated and inequality will rise inexorably even more.
The message that capitalism inevitably leads to greater inequality is one that many people want to hear. Unfortunately for them, it is wrong. Piketty assembles an impressively large amount of empirical evidence. This shows clearly that from around 1910 to 1970, inequality actually declined sharply across the West.

Here is a short FT background video on the challenges facing established food retailers in the UK. The supermarket is under pressure. They face competition from both hard discounters and upmarket retailers. The FT's Andrea Felsted visits Romford, on the outskirts of London, to examine how supermarkets are adapting to their new retail landscape.

He made millions of pounds on the stock market, at a time when a million was a vast amount of money.

The varied nature of Economics means there are so many (sometimes it can seem too many) themes to explore. And priorities change. Sometimes the main issue is production (making more stuff – and how the value of that is measured). Sometimes it's exchange (looking at how markets work). Yet distribution (often overlooked, especially when economies are booming) seems the hottest topic at the moment. Inequality tops the bestseller lists.
Here are a few tips and links for using the topic as an intro to A2 economics, great for macro, with scope for analysis and evaluation of UK government policy and approaches to development economics.

The supermarket giant Tesco is under increasing pressure! Tesco is Britain's biggest retailer (it has 29% of the UK groceries market) and the biggest private-sector employer, and it runs about 7,000 stores worldwide. But it is facing significant commercial challenges from discount retailers such as Aldi and Lidl and seems to be squeezed in the middle as other shoppers look for the value proposition in stores such as Waitrose. Their recent trading figures made for sorry reading. For the three months to 24 May 2014, Tesco said like-for-like UK sales including VAT and excluding petrol fell 3.7%.
Is there a case for breaking up Tesco and getting the business to re-focus on what it does best? Two journalists from the Financial Times argue it out in the video below:

Trams have been experiencing a revival in a number of towns and cities in the past few decades. Edinburgh is the latest city to invest in trams, and hopes they will boost local economy. But do the benefits outweigh costs? Manchester, Sheffield, Blackpool, Nottingham, Newcastle and Croydon have all installed trams / light rail and others are considering investment.
The Edinburgh trams at running (at last) but the jury will remain out for a long time about their net impact on economic activity, traffic congestion and the broader health of Edinburgh and the local environs.

An important judgement from the newly established Competition and Markets Authority (CMA). They believe that competition is best served by having three major cross-channel service operators - namely EuroTunnel (rail) and two ferry operators.
The CMA has ruled against EuroTunnel being able to cross-subsidise the loss-making MyFerryLink on the Dover to Calais service because in doing so, it is likely to lead to the market exit of a rival provider and ultimately cause higher prices for consumers.

There has been huge interest in the new book by Thomas Piketty entitled "Capital in the 21st Century". This blog entry will link to some reviews, news articles and short videos on Piketty's ideas and policy prescriptions. In "Capital," French economist Thomas Piketty explores how wealth and the income derived from it magnifies the problems of inequality. At the heart of it is a simple equation R > G - the rate of return on capital is higher than the rate of economic growth. Naturally there is a fierce debate about the data and his methodology!

This Channel 4 news report looks at va growing protest movement among food industry workers campaigning against zero hours contracts and persistent low pay. Zero-hours contracts do not guarantee a minimum number of hours of employment. It has been estimated that 583,000 people, around 2% of the UK workforce, were employed on zero-hours contracts between October and December 2013. The actual figure is likely to be substantially higher than that.

Normative statements - using E-Cigarette newspaper reports to look at normative statements
I'm sure that introducing the concept of normative statements is something that most Economics' teachers introduce early in the curriculum to show the dangers of expressing opinions without evidence.

In recent times, pop up shops (retail outlets available on very short term leases) have grown in popularity. In part this has been because of the increase in vacant retail space during and in the aftermath of the last recession. But increasingly other organisation are thinking about using their locations as opportunities to attract small retailers and/or retail start-ups.
Transport for London is one such example. TfL owns more than 1,000 retail properties and this week TFL has signed a deal with Appear Here, an 'online property agency', to allow pop-up shops and restaurants in its tube stations. Consider the business potential for this kind of retail investment. Old Street is earmarked for this experiment - it is just a short walk from Silicon Roundabout in Shoreditch - the home of hundreds of emerging tech start up businesses.

Is it safe to grow herbs and vegetables in old tins / cans?
Do corrosion and rust leech anything in the soil? Tin and tinplated cans sometimes leech tin into the food inside them.
They are frequently now lined with coating on the inside to prevent this leeching. Ironically the coating also leeches into the food.
I ask because I save the large-ish tins I open to use as pots. I try to only save the unlined tins, (I think you can tell by the colour inside?) But what about the metal itself? Metals can be very toxic. Tin is toxic in high amounts. If I plant food in them, will the plants absorb any of the metals over time? What about as the tinplate corrodes and the steel underneath rusts? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Wouldn't it be fine to put the plants in a plastic liner/pot or water bottle with holes cut to fit the tins? |
- Posted by concretenprimroses 4B NH (My Page) on Mon, Sep 5, 11 at 22:01
this article seems to suggest that the coating is safe. Plus tin and other metals that leach into the soil don't end up in the plant, or if they do sometimes that is ok. (iron) They combine with other elements and substances in the soil. I think it is bad to grow food in rubber tires. Kathy |

From the beauty of the mountains surrounding this lovely town to the bountiful summertime swimming in the Yuba River and smartly programmed events, the Nevada City Film Festival is a charming festival we'd attend again in a heartbeat.
Hip but never alienatingly so, the festival is just kind of groovy, like the town that holds it.

KVH TracPhone V3-IP Goes Fully Global With Integrated Iridium OpenPort Broadband Service
SINGAPORE, April 7, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Coinciding with the introduction of its new TracPhone ® V3-IP satellite communications system, KVH Industries, Inc. , (Nasdaq:KVHI) announces availability of an integrated service package that pairs its exclusive mini-VSAT Broadband sm service with the Iridium OpenPort ® broadband service for seamless, fully global connectivity.
The new TracPhone V3-IP will provide coverage throughout the extensive Ku-band mini-VSAT Broadband global coverage offering, with Iridium OpenPort service extending that to remote regions including the polar areas. "This integrated solution offers mariners an unbeatable combination of reliable, affordable broadband, shipboard communications, and seamless global connectivity," explains Brent Bruun, executive vice president of KVH's mobile broadband group. "The lightweight, compact antenna units offer the benefits of low-cost broadband communications for vessels ranging from tugboats to tankers."
The integrated shipboard system, which combines an Iridium Pilot unit with a KVH TracPhone V3-IP terminal, provides reliable, affordable voice and data connections from pole to pole by switching seamlessly between the mini-VSAT Broadband and Iridium OpenPort services. The network management functionality in KVH's Integrated CommBox ™ Modem (ICM) automatically selects mini-VSAT Broadband or Iridium OpenPort using intelligent least cost routing functionality. If mini-VSAT Broadband service is ever unavailable, the system immediately switches the onboard LAN and Wi-Fi networks to the complementary Iridium OpenPort broadband service, and back to mini-VSAT Broadband when it becomes available again, all without operator intervention.
"We are enthusiastic about the expansion of our partnership with KVH," says Bryan Hartin, Iridium's executive vice president, sales and marketing. "We recognize the market's desire for an affordable turnkey complementary component for VSAT service and have collaborated with KVH to deliver a solution that eliminates coverage gaps and offers an alternative to the high prices of competing maritime satellite networks."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

I think one of the main reasons why everyone is so upset is because Hockey represents more than just a game. It's an excuse to get together with friends and family. Saturday nights are all about taking your family over to your buddies house, the kids run to the basement to play, the wives get together and talk and you plant yourself in front of the TV to watch the game. We all know how winters are long and cold, hockey night is a chance to get out of your house or host...Preparing meal or ordering in...the hockey game is more than a block of 2 ½ hrs of TV....It's our social outlet.... When we have a team that can't compete, when we all see the glaring deficiencies, yet management continually makes the same mistake it is infuriating. The habs management treat us the fan like crap...their code of silence and talking down to us is inexcusable...Why is it that I've heard other coaches and GM on Montreal airwaves, but there is a code of silence from the Bell Center... It's mid January and the season is over...The Bell Center has become as fun as a morgue and the GM "the ghost" aptly named because his horrible moves haunt team for years is the captain of this sinking ship...The owner an" intelligent" business man who sold the team low and bought it back at a higher price....is running the show...what a Joke.

In painstaking detail, Satter traces King's fight with the powers-that-be in Chicago, namely Mayor Richard Daley and his Democratic machine. The issue was still open occupancy—the right of black families to live anywhere in the city. What King found was that Chicago's segregation was nearly absolute and the battle against it much harder than his sclc had anticipated. Some even spoke about "going back to the relative tranquility of being a civil-rights worker in Alabama."
Satter follows King and his organizers on their historic march through Cicero, a white Chicago suburb completely off limits to blacks. Earlier that year, in May 1966, a black teenager applying for a job in Cicero was killed by four white teens, who beat him so violently that his eyes were knocked out of his skull. Not surprisingly, Daley and his machine tried to dissuade King from marching there, calling it a suicide mission. King replied: "We're not only going to walk in Cicero, we're going to work and live there, too."
The march went forward as planned, on Labor Day weekend. Braving a hail of rocks and bottles, King and his marchers worked their way through the neighborhood, protected by two thousand National Guardsmen and a thousand police officers. It was a victory, but arguably a partial one, and King pulled out of Chicago that fall.
Yet King's fight—and the battle that Mark Satter had waged before him—was picked up by other local community organizers. Satter introduces us to them one by one. Walking among them is Saul Alinsky, the father of Chicago community organizing; Monsignor John J. Egan, who worked tirelessly for the poor and helped to train and inspire a cadre of young, dedicated Jesuits; and Ruth Wells, a contract buyer turned activist, who put her own home on the line to protest the unfair housing market in Chicago.
The final quarter of the book is dedicated to the founding of the Contract Buyers of Lawndale (CBL), a close-knit community group that eventually hired a team of lawyers and brought their contract-sale cases to trial. Though Satter never says so, it was a class-action suit her father should have been involved in: a high-profile, emotional showdown between the contract sellers and their prey.
Satter wears the mantle of historian throughout, keeping her emotions in check even when she discusses the members of her own family. It should be noted that when her father died in 1965, the author was only six years old. She has no direct memories of him or of her grandfather. But thanks to one of her brothers, Mark Satter's legacy was preserved in a dozen large scrapbooks.
These scrapbooks, plus Satter's interviews with the large cast of characters, are what give Family Properties the density of a good novel. And by means of this exhaustive and exhausting research, the author allows the personalities of the key players to shine. She never backs away from difficult territory, delving into cultural stereotypes of both the African-American and Jewish communities. She also addresses her father's financial ruin, the slums he left behind, and a conservative, controversial article written by her brother David just after Mark Satter died.
At times, the writing slips into legalese and academic dryness (Satter is the chairman of the history department at Rutgers University in Newark). But the story itself is so politically and emotionally charged that the book becomes a page-turner, as the reader roots for the underdogs.
Mark Satter's absence during the CBL trials makes the heart ache. But just as in the cases Satter championed, and the fight that King fought in Chicago, the final outcome of the CBL case is heartbreaking. Equally depressing is the fact that many of the local newspapers that covered and championed Satter's battles are either gone or on the verge of disappearing. The Chicago Daily News, in particular, provided much of the first draft of history from which the author drew her tale. A historian writing fifty years from now may have the Internet, but detailed local coverage of events will be sorely missing.
Beryl Satter's story is not without a glimmer of hope, however. Some of the CBL's contracts were renegotiated while the cases wound their way through the courts, saving victims an average of $14,000 and, more importantly, allowing them to keep their homes. And the press coverage during the litigation alerted the African-American community to the contract sellers' vicious practices.
There are other silver linings, too. The CBL's raw housing data, which had been gathered meticulously by volunteers and lawyers and entered onto rudimentary computer cards, were ruled inadmissible in court at the time. However, the data have since been used by a new generation of community organizers, allowing them to challenge other discriminatory federal housing policies.

This is a simple version of the classic Snake Game. Collect food to increase the size of your snake.
Be sure not to collide with the boundaries, or yourself!
(Updated to add medals and improve control responsiveness)
(Note: I know this is by no means a unique submission, but everyone starts somewhere)
Nice with a classic snake game with medals, it's a simple concept, and a fun one, and adding medals to the mix makes it feel rewarding as well. It's both addicting and aggravating at the same time, and I've been playing for quite a while now and still can't quite reach 100. It's those dots that appear right by the borders, and especially the ones in the corners, that eventually end the game. Maybe the speed is a bit too fast because it feels like I always dodge just a tenth of a second too late. Either way though, it's a fun game. Nice work!
Thank you. I've been looking for a simple-regular snake game for like an hour, and all I could find are all these dumb snake games with actual snake graphics that throw me off, add-ons instead of just getting food, dumb stuff like that. This alone is a unique submission because, while its not exactly like the original, its the closest I've found. I've always said, if something isn't broken, don't fix it. The snake game doesn't need to be fixed, thank you for posting an original version on here.
Sure it functions, I can give you that. For a starting game, it's actually really good, the only problem with this is that well, you move a little bit too fast. Another problem, unless it was intentional, is that the color scheme hurts my eyes and makes it hard to play for a long time without my eyes hurting. This caused my highest score to only be thirty-two.
Again, for a starter submission, it's really good, honestly. I didn't experience any FPS problems and I'm on a laptop. Anyways, as I was saying, it's a rather good job for a starter, I'd recommend changing the colors and reuploading to make it more enjoyable.
Well... for some people it's lagging... but not for me. No response or FPS problem, and I'm on a laptop seriously not made for game (must put games in low quality for playing... but not flashgames ^^''''')
The snake, as simple as it comes! Just add a sound and some musics, let the player turn this on/off and it's gonna be nearly perfect... at least for me. (in such oldies, I prefer old graphics... I'll never give a minute in a 3D or improved graphic snake)
I find controls awfully unresponsive, and something hurts my eyes but I'm not sure about what it is, maybe the colors you chose. Because of that I've stopped playing after just a few minutes so nothing to say about the good parts, didn't have the time to really see them. I'm sorry, it's disappointing although I feel there's really little things to change so that it would be a very fine game.

Looks like the hoarding has slowed down enough that we are starting to see sales again. I have been seeing steel cased Tula .223 at cabela's for $4.00 a box, that's $200 fer 1k rounds..

Anyone else seen good deals going on ?

I was at Gander Mountain last weekend and the pistol ammo was still way high. Over $40 for WWB 100 rounds of .40 S&W FMJ. The guy behind the counter did not like it when I told him that was outrageous. He said, "Hey the prices are coming down." They had zero .45 ACP in FMJ's. I did not check out the rifle ammo.
From C3Shooter: Skullcrusher, you are evil, sick, demented, twisted- and my hero!
I was in Bass pro a while ago and everything was still outrageously high. I was in a gun shop (big gun shop... really big) last week and their .223 were running for about 0.45 a round. However, I did buy two boxes of large pistol primers for poppa. So now he has 2,000 primers for his .45. Lets just say, he is happy. Hey, I just bought a cap and ball revolver, what is a good price for black powder and percussion caps? (I am going to make my own balls.)

Sportsman's Warehouse has some very good prices, the last time I checked! The next time I do a small purchase will be Friday! I did pickup a box of 100 rounds from Walmart of Federal Ammo for 39.95 before the taxation thingy! American Eagle Tactical XM193 at Sportsman's is going for 89.99 for 200 rounds.
Here is a great shopping tool : ammoengine.com Just select the caliber and it shows the best prices available for that caliber.AmmoEngine: 9mm / 9x19mm Parabellum (Luger), Instock For Sale Premium & Discount Ammunition, Ammo Deals
Someone, somewhere has to do something about prices for .45ACP. Look at what happened to 9mm, way up then way down. .223 is getting a little better. I hate to call myself a hourder, but I wish I could afford 10,000 rounds.
Keep your head down!!!!
I just purchased 1000 rounds of .223 $270 with shipping. The local store had them on sell for $389. I didn't have the heart to tell him how much I paid..

Introducing Plone
Creating a Plone site is extremely easy from within the web-based Zope management interface. From the add product menu, choose the Plone site. You will be prompted to enter several pieces of information:
the ID of the site, which will be part of the URL;
the title of the site, which will appear at the top of each page;
whether the site should have its own user folder or should inherit users from the surrounding Zope site;
a description of the site; and
the type of site you're creating (for now, leave it at the default Plone).
When Zope finishes creating a new instance of the Plone site, the large pane in the Zope management interface changes dramatically. An introductory message appears in the middle, a toolbar slides across the top, and information, including a calendar, shows up in rectangles along the left and right sides.
The interface for modifying a Plone site is significantly different from the standard Zope interface. Whereas Zope normally displays the same screens for all users and only presents the management interface when the /manage method call is tacked onto a URL, Plone modifies its output according to the current user's permissions. So although guests can navigate only through the site's content, administrators are shown tabs, such as view, edit, properties and state, and can see all items on the site, including those not yet published.
Content added or modified using the web-based Plone interface can be in plain text, in HTML or in Zope's structured text format, which uses punctuation and indentation as formatting mechanisms. I prefer to use structured text as often as possible, using HTML only when I want to format a page in a way that structured text doesn't allow.
Surrounding the main document on a page are multiple portlets, accessories that add to a site's content. Plone comes with several portlets by default, including a list of news stories, a list of events, a calendar that displays today's date and highlights any events during the current month and a list of relevant documents on the current site.
To add a new document, first move to the contents view by clicking on that link in the navigation portlet. This produces a list of documents in the current folder. You then can select a new content type from the add new item in the upper-left corner. It's important to realize a new document is created as soon as you click on add new document; following that, you are modifying its properties and content.
By default, Plone allows you to create a number of different content types:
Folders allow you to structure your site with a hierarchy. Just as a disk, static web site or Zope site contains files in folders, Plone sites can contain folders. The title of each published folder is displayed in the navigation portlet.
Documents are the most common item on Plone sites and can be formatted in HTML, structured text or plain text. Most of the time, you probably will want to create a new document.
Images can be in nearly any format, including JPEG, PNG and GIF.
Files are items you want users to be able to view or download but that don't have a MIME content type that Plone can work with easily. Some examples are QuickTime movies, audio clips and Microsoft Office documents.
Events are short documents with a starting and ending date and are highlighted in the calendar portlet.
News items are short documents displayed in the news portlet. This is a good and easy way to publish press releases, for example.
Plone also comes with links, which are URLs of interest to the outside world, and topics, which are predefined searches within the site. An increasing number of other content types are emerging for Plone, such as a weblog and a photo album.
When you create a new piece of content in Plone, it is in the visible state by default. This means that if people know the URL, they can get to your document with their web browsers. The content does not appear, however, in searches or in the navigation portlet.
To publish content, click on the state tab at the top of the page. (From the contents view, you can publish multiple pieces of content simultaneously with the state button at the bottom of the page.) This brings you to a page that asks when the content should first be published, when it should expire and any comments you wish to make about the decision to publish the document. The dates you enter are the final arbiter, meaning that a published document will be visible only between its starting and ending dates.

As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I love these eyeshadow palettes.I have been using then for almost a year and I paid about $6-8 which I don't think that's terrible for eight shadows. They are quite pigmented which is another plus. I have repurchased it before, mainly because it fell out of my purse and my mom backed over it a little so it broke three of the shadows. I dropped another palette, the twilight rays, from about two feet and the silver shadow broke. But other than the breaking and glitter fallout, I love this palette! I want to get the third one!
I love these eyeshadows and have used them for years. With all the new products to play with, I have forgotten these gems. I love the newer formula of these. The colors are more pigmented, silky and less chalky. The packaging is horrid but I was able to get these for dirt cheap. I had a coupon and paid less than $5 (USD) for these babies! <3

This product definitely isn't anything to write home about, but these shadows do blend nicely, their pigment is just lacking. I found that if you use your fingers or the sponge applicator it came with the colors will show up extremely muddy and hardly noticable. I guess for the women who use eyeshadow brushes religiously this wouldn't be a problem, but when I'm in a hurry I don't feel like pulling out a ton of brushes for application and blending purposes. Granted, when I take my time and apply these shadows with the brush I end up getting an absolutely beautiful look. The only thing that negates this beauty is the incredible amount of fallout that ends up all over my face. Therefore, if you are thinking about purchasing be prepared to clean the glittery mess of your face. I have learned to do my face makeup last so that I can run a cottonball soaked in EL Eye Makeup Remover over my face. Overall, I'd say I'm certainly impressed with this product, yet I don't think it lived up to the hype.

I really like this palette! It's great for filling in my brows and I use the light taupe color as an all over base on my lids. The only reason I would not repurchase this is because I like to try new things!
I hardly use eyeshadow, and if I do, it has to be a very light and neutral color because: 1. I suck at making it look professional. 2. I don't own a primer. and 3. I love looking as natural as possible. But I really like these colors and I'm trying to make myself use them :) i really like this product, case in point. :) p.s: i even use it on top of my mascara to make it glittery & pretty, but don't use too much; could possibly get in your eyes.

I am in love with this palette. For about four months after I got this palette, I used it to do my everyday makeup. This palette definately satisfied my love for neutrals.
The color variety in this palette is great--browns, bronzy shades, and greens (a great alternative for brown in a neutral look). However, all of the shades except for the light brown (2nd from the left on the top row) are shimmery/metallic, which isn't bad, but for matte-lovers, this might not be your thing. Plus, the colors blend nice, have minimal fall-out, and last fairly well with a primer.
The greens and bronzy-metallic brown and gold shades are lovely. I have even applied them wet a few times, and the look is intense and just awesome. The darkest brown is nicely pigmented, and the white wasn't chalky, which impressed me. And the matte light-brown is pretty much the perfect shade for filling in my brows, which is a double-plus!
I would recommend this palette a hundred times over to anyone looking for an inexpensive drugstore neutral palette, or anyone wanting to build their makeup collection. Lovely, lovely colors and application.

I love this pallet! I love love love neutrals and browns, so this caught my eye immediately. The shadows in this pallet have amazing pigmentation, I was so impressed when playing around with them. I will most definitely repurchase and recommend. :)
This is AMAZING!!!!
loved the mix of colors! but if you don't apply it correctly, you might get like glitter drops :(
This palette is def great esp if you love earthy tones or looking for something that can be versatile year round and i def can get use out of this!!
The Maybelline ExpertEyes Palettes can be found in most drugstores like RiteAid, CVS, Walgreens as well as mass stores like Walmart, Target & Kmart. The price & availability will vary slightly depending on your location as well as sales/discounts but i have seen the palette around $5-7. I purchased mine at walmart for $6.59 which is pretty fair for 8 shadows.
The Sunbaked Neutrals palette is a great group of earth tones like greens, browns and bronzes. There is 8 shadows that all can be worn together or paired w/ your others shadows. The shadows are pressed well w/ a little excess powder when you tap brush into them but they apply easily and blend nicely. The palette shadows are like the maybelline quads or single shadows so if you enjoy those, you will enjoy this palette. I kept eyeing this up but kept thinking i didnt need it since i had a few maybelline quads that were similiar to these (if you look closely there is a mini Chai Latte Quad in here too) but im glad i got this since its 8shadows that i will def use since im more of a neutral shadow wearer but the greens are a great little pop of color to add to the looks. Its a great way to venture away from just browns. I love all the shadows. These wear well as well. I dont have oily lids so id suggests priming your eyes (which i suggests to do w/ most drugstore shadows) this will help the shadows wear longer as well as make the shadows be a tad more pigmented. These wear for over 7 hours before i see any fading which is great- i love to wear a cream base w/ these shadows bc depending on what color of base you use, you can pick up different undertones to each shadow. This palette gives you plenty of options for day and can be darkened w/ the browns to make a nite time smoky look. You may need a darker color if you want something more dramatic. There is different finishes to the shadows. There is metallics, satin and i think two matte shadows which is great bc it adds dimension and depth to the look. Its nice to have a matte in there so it doesnt look too much. There is a nice satin white shadow that can be used to highlight and midtones for the lid as well as darker shadows to define the crease & outer v area! I def like these shadows.
The Maybelline "Sunbaked Neutrals" palette comes in the standard hard plastic compact. The backing has a sticker w/ labeling info/shade name etc. The lid that snaps open & shut is see through allowing you to see what colors are inside (nice if you have both of the palettes from maybelline bc you can see which one is which) The Maybelline logo is on lid in metallic writing and a sticker w/ palette name is located on the bottom connecting the lid. The palette is sturdy but i think w/ really rough handling it may crack so dont slam it around. This compact is small enough to carry w/ you which is great for vacation. There is two rows of four shadows & each shadow pan is rather small, littlier than a dime but i think its a good amount of each shadow bc really, i have so many shadows i rarely ever get through any of mine. I havent hit pan on any of these so they are def great!
Overall, i really have enjoyed this palette. It has really gorgeous colors that i can def pull off and wear year round and daily! i love them all! i love that drugstore companies are finally giving us more than shimmery shadows! Id recommend to anyone looking for a good palette to take w/ you on vacation instead of carrying around 8 different shadow, they are all right there at your convenience. I love em all! i wont be repurchasing bc Maybelline tests on our poor innocent creatures, sadly!

Like many others across the state, Tori Benders and Rhea Riedlinger heard the news Friday from Sidney and felt compelled to reach out.
School officials in town had confirmed that Sidney High math teacher Sherry Arnold was dead and two men were being held by law enforcement.
"We both felt kind of sick about it," Benders said.
Benders and Riedlinger are members of the Laurel High Student Council and wanted to help. They don't know Arnold or her family, and they have no ties to Sidney and have never visited the town.
But the tragedy seemed overwhelming and they wanted to respond somehow.
"It just kind of hit home for us," Benders said. "They're a small town, we're a small town."
Initially, they struck on the idea of launching a scholarship fund for the Sidney community, named in honor of Arnold's memory.
However, a teacher at Laurel High whose mother lives in Sidney told the teenagers that a scholarship fund had already been created.
Instead, Benders and Riedlinger will hold a fundraiser and donate the money to a Sidney-based charity that reflects the interests and concerns of Arnold.
They plan to talk to friends of Arnold to get an idea of what she was passionate about and where best to donate the money.
They announced the plan Friday at school. The response, they said, has been overwhelmingly positive. Laurel played basketball against Glendive on Saturday, and many from the Glendive crowd expressed support.
"We've had a lot of people come up and personally thank us," Riedlinger said.
The student council will be collecting donations at all of Laurel High's home sporting events for the next month. Donations also can be mailed to the school itself.
"We want to help," Benders said.

Bible in Basic English (BBE) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled? | 1 Who has believed our message and to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed? |
2 For his growth was like that of a delicate plant before him, and like a root out of a dry place: he had no grace of form, to give us pleasure; | 2 He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him. |
3 Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him. | 3 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. |
4 But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come. | 4 Surely he took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered him stricken by God, smitten by him, and afflicted. |
5 But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well. | 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed. |
6 We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all. | 6 We all, like sheep, have gone astray, each of us has turned to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. |
7 Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word. | 7 He was oppressed and afflicted, yet he did not open his mouth; he was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so he did not open his mouth. |
8 They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people. | 8 By oppression and judgment he was taken away. And who can speak of his descendants? For he was cut off from the land of the living; for the transgression of my people he was stricken. |
9 And they put his body into the earth with sinners, and his last resting-place was with the evil-doers, though he had done no wrong, and no deceit was in his mouth. | 9 He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death, though he had done no violence, nor was any deceit in his mouth. |
10 And the Lord was pleased ... see a seed, long life, ... will do well in his hand. ... | 10 Yet it was the LORD's will to crush him and cause him to suffer, and though the LORD makes his life a guilt offering, he will see his offspring and prolong his days, and the will of the LORD will prosper in his hand. |
11 ... made clear his righteousness before men ... had taken their sins on himself. | 11 After the suffering of his soul, he will see the light [of life] and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. |
12 For this cause he will have a heritage with the great, and he will have a part in the goods of war with the strong, because he gave up his life, and was numbered with the evil-doers; taking on himself the sins of the people, and making prayer for the wrongdoers. | 12 Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors. |
