unicode possibilities
It would be nice if cl-user would display unicode input for CJK text. With PCL and On Lisp getting new printings in Japan, it might be beneficial to attract more brain-share from that side of the world. Would this be considered out of cl-user.net's scope?

I have to think about it.
The use of English as the standard language is prefered so that the information is useable by most lispers.
I don't mind some other language content though.

Growing bamboo from seeds?
What's your opinion about growing bamboo from seeds? I know seeds are rarely available and it can take a while till you get a nice size bamboo. At the same time, aren't the seedlings stronger than the mother plant? Also, are they always different than the parent?
I'd like to start Phyllostachys Edulis or one of its varieties but seeds are so hard to find. Is it worth the work though, or just look for already grown plants and buy those?
I've grown bamboo from seed. It's an interesting experiment, but it will take you up to 5 years to get a plant as tall as you are. The physical characteristics of a new bamboo plant grown from seed may be different from the plant it came from...or not. Plants grown from seeds are not stronger than plants that result from taking a division.
Two other things:
1) Bamboo seed viability is typically several months, so it's good to know how fresh the seed is when you procure it.
2) You can get bamboo seed from eBay, but be aware that, if you purchase it from someone outside the U.S., you risk confiscation of it and/or a visit from USDA agents, since it is illegal to import bamboo plants, roots, or seeds into the U.S. without a permit and quarantine that you must pay for.
Thanks for your response kudzu9.
I had no idea there's a ban on importing seeds or live bamboo. Anyway, I don't order seeds or live plants from outside the country. I always try to order as close to home as possible because it's a shock for the plants to travel too long, and even the seeds can be damaged in longer transportation. I've found US sellers on eBay that have bamboo seeds but they all have only a few types of seeds available. Does ABS have seeds available for sale? I'm not a member... yet, but maybe next year who knows.
I am not afraid of how long it could take because there's always the possibility to buy live, bigger plants. I'm growing Plumeria seedlings now and although I know they can bloom in 3 years or more (rarely less than 3 years), it's still rewarding to take care of them. I'm even thinking of starting cycads from seeds (my other plants I grow besides plumies) but they are really sloooow as they are, I think from seeds I will leave them on my will to my grandkids LOL.
So I could order some seeds from the US sellers on eBay. What do you think is better to do: start the seeds now or next spring? And if I want to get another type of live potted bamboo, is it better to wait until spring? Does it have enough time to get established before winter comes?
My son is fascinated by bamboo and has been very into bamboo since he was younger. Now he wants to grow his own bamboo and maybe if it gets bigger, to craft some nice stuff out of it. But he loves bamboo as it is, just to have it around and enjoying its lush, green beauty. :)
There are only a few types of seeds available at any time because humans can't control when bamboo flower and produce seeds...some do it only once every 150 years or so. I don't know of any seed seller that routinely has seeds available, and the ABS doesn't sell them.
I mentioned the ban on imports because many of the seeds I've seen offered on eBay are from foreign sellers. If you are ordering seeds, waiting until next spring to plant might mean that they have lost viability, so plant them as soon as you get them, whenever that is, because they could already be old seeds. I've started mine in seedling trays, not in the ground.
Since you are in Southern CA, I don't think the timing on putting larger plants in the ground is a big deal, as your winters won't be a threat to most bamboo.
I know about bamboo flowering, isn't this an interesting fact about it?
I have all my plants n pots until we can get a bigger place, so the bamboo will go into pots too. I started seeds in trays too and first batch had 100% germination rate. Then... well... I don't know what happened, maybe the seeds weren't all fertilized, because they were all very fresh, a matter of days fresh.
Anyway, love starting seeds, so I'll follow your advice and start them right away when receiving them. I know we have mild winters here (I'm in zone 10a) but maybe after sprouting, I will move the bamboo indoor too since they will be young seedlings. How long does it usually take for bamboo seeds to sprout?
Thanks for all the advice.
I am still waiting for some very fresh seeds of Madagascar Palm to sprout. It's been a couple of months... I don't grow palms but they were a gift and I'm very interested in seeing how they will turn out. I hope they will not need a gestation period LOL.
Stevelau,I will try that place too, thanks for the idea!
I don't know, I never did something that had the risk to be caught for. And then, why other person would want to risk that? Anyway, 1000 seeds is huge, I don't need that many, and I never ordered plants/seeds from out of country, only domestic. :)
What would be a good germination mix for bamboo seeds? Is coir good for them? Is the germination mix different than the potting mix when seedlings are transplanted in individual pots?
I also have a question that might sound... dumb: when planted for germination, bamoo seeds are placed each one at a distance from the others or they can be just "tossed" on the germination tray even if some of them will be more crowded than others?
Don't over-think this. Any potting soil will be fine as long as it's kept moist. As for the germination tray, I have used one with 50 cells and put one or two seeds in each. If you scatter them, make sure they are covered by about 1/4" of soil and don't worry about the spacing.
Thanks kudzu9! I was thinking about not caring much about spacing because they look like those type of seeds that could be just scattered and do well but on the other hand I was being concerned on what would happen with their roots if they will be too crowded on a square inch. I think I was overthinking it, as you said. :)
Thanks for your response.
The idea of digging around to see maybe somebody has some fresh seeds to spare would be good too.But does anybody have any experience with growing Dendrocalamus form seeds? Is it difficult? Maybe too sensitive or something? Just curious.
My D. strictus/calostachyus is from seed but I did not plant it. It was traded to me by another bamboo grower.
I've grown a few varieties from seed and it's not real hard, but I think the trick is to get fresh seeds and plant them immediately.

Large Praying Hanuman Statue 102" Item # 39g8
Price: $19000
Please take a minute and click here to tell us about your experience with Lotus Sculpture, our customer service and how you like your statue. We appreciate your feedback!
I bought a unique, one-of-a-kind statue from Lotus Sculpture which depict Krishna sitting sideways on a cow and playing his flute, while the cow has twisted her neck around so she can gaze up at him with loving eyes. It depicts a very touching moment. The cow's posture shows such love and devotion. I've never seen anything like it. The artistic balance between Krishna and the cow is wonderful, and Krishna is very well done, with a slight smile on his face as he plays his flute. It's the most remarkable statue of Krishna I've ever seen. In addition, the shipment was extremely prompt and a proper statement of value accompanied the statue. This has been a very good experience with Lotus Sculpture. --Maris WhitakerReviewer:Maris Whitaker (Boulder, Colorado, US)
Purchased a 19" painted Ganesha. It arrived last week and it is better than expected. It was very well packed. The colors are vibrant and the hues are perfect. I was afraid they might be garish in hand, but those fears were completely unfounded. Beautiful color palette. The carving is well detailed. It is a very handsome piece. I couldn't be happier with it In fact, I was so happy that I just finished purchasing a 36" painted Garuda. Once I saw the quality of the Ganesh I felt confident in purchasing a more expensive piece. And eagerly awaiting its arrival. Had I the money and the room, I would be in trouble.Reviewer:mark drazak (Cromwell, Connecticut, US)
A wonderful, efficient streamlined purchasing system at Lotus Sculpture. The sculpture purchased is in perfect condition and is quite beautiful.Reviewer:Madhurika (, Herts, GB)
This is the first time I bought a statue from Lotus Sculpture. It arrived the next day. Well packaged. It is a beautiful Ganesh hand made wooden statue. Suggestion: it would be nice if you could list on your website if the statues you get from India involve fair trade and fair labor. I am already looking on the website for my next purchase. Thank you for the great experience and importantly for making these beautiful pieces of art available for purchase in the US.Reviewer:Varun Khanna (Los Angeles, CA, US)
I've known about Lotus Sculpture from Hinduism Today magazine and from the testimonies of friends. His site is first rate and exhaustively documented with beautiful photographs, dimensions and descriptions. I appreciate the breadth of sculptures available be they of museum quality, bronzes or brasses, or as in my case, resin volcanic stone suitable for extreme weather and a more modest budget. It was a relief to know that I was going to be pleased when I opened the box to see professional grade rigid foam packing surrounding a thing of beauty.Reviewer:Nandi (oysterville, wa, US)
Excellent arrival time, packaging, quality of statue.Reviewer:Jennifer Metzger (Hatfield, MA, US)
I recieved my stone resin Buddha and I am pleased with the product. Its much heavier and more solid than what I thought it would be. I wasnt wanting a flimsy, easily breakable statue. Thanks.Reviewer:Rob (sheridan, wy, US)
I love the Nataraja . LOOKING FOR DIFFERENT POSE STATUES OF LORD SHIVA .Please let me know.Reviewer:Manjula (Ellicott City, MD, US)
the mouse is great says my daughter in little rock Arkansas for whom it was a birthday present. 4 stars instead of 5 because it did not arrive on the 24 feb as expected but on the 26. probably due to the bad weather in Arkansas, but still it was a bit of a disappointment. but I certainly will trade with you again! thanks janeReviewer:jane wolfe (woodstock, Vermont, US)
- Materials: Hand Carved Indian Black Granite with Coconut Oil
- Total Height Including Base: 102 inches or 9 feet
- Weight: 3500 pounds
- Hanuman's hands are clasp together in reverence to his friend Lord Rama
- Hanuman is reknown for his loyalty and courage and love of Lord Rama
- Hanuman is one of the heroes of the Ramayana saga
Hanuman known also as Anjaneya, is one of the most important personalities in the epic, the Ramayana. He is a vanara or "human with the tail of a monkey" who aided Lord Rama, an avatar of Vishnu, in rescuing His Consort, Sita, from the Rakshasa king Ravana. The monkey general, Hanuman is shown standing with his hands together in respect in adoration of Rama. Hanuman is renown for his faithful and steadfast service to Rama as told in the Ramayana epic in which Hanuman played an active part. Some consider Hanuman to be an incarnation of Lord Shiva. On Hanuman's head is a tilaka. A tilaka is a ritual mark meaning holy mud. It is applied on the foreheads of devotees of Lord Vishnu. Vishnu also wears the symbol on His forehead.
Devotees apply it as a mark of respect to Lord Vishnu, denoting they are holding His Lotus Feet on their forehead.
A tilaka is carved into the base of the sculpture as well along with a conch and discuss. Coconut oil was applied to the statue to turn the color of the statue black. The black color is permanent.
About Indian Black Granite: Indian black granite is a wonderful stone. It is capable of a variety of finishes which can give it a variety of different color possibilities. It is possible to see 4-5 different colors on a single piece depending on the degree of polish or roughness of the stone. Indian black granite is among the best granite in the world sought after by artists globally. Unlike inferior quality granite, Indian granite is extremely dense and without impurities that plague other stones. The density of granite makes a granite sculpture perfect for any garden because it can be left outside in extreme heat and extreme cold for years without care.
About Hanuman
Hanuman is the son of Vayu, the Hindu God of Wind, and is looked upon by Hindus as the ultimate hero and great devotee of Lord Rama of the Ramayana. He represents the figure of the ideal being, as he is humble yet brave. His physical prowess, mental discipline and spiritual purity have made him extremely popular all over India.
He is a provider of courage, hope, knowledge, intellect and devotion. He is pictured as a robust monkey holding a mace or gada, which is a sign of bravery, and having a picture of Lord Rama tattooed on his chest, which is a sign of his devotion to Lord Rama.
He is also called Mahaveera (the great hero) or Pavan-suta (son of air) or Bajarangbali. In Tamil Nadu he is known as Anjaneya.
Granite statues from India do not need much maintenance. The best way to maintain the statue is to simply dust the piece periodically to keep any dirt from accumulating. They can be used for both indoor and outdoor use.
go over the statue to remove any dust or dirt buildup."
Soap and warm water is the best way to maintain the statue. You can use a small brush to get into the small crevices of the statue like the hands and hair.
Granite's durability makes it perfect for cold winters and hot summers of any climate. The stone can stand up to the harshest conditions of heat and bitter cold. We suggest you bathe the sculpture at least once a year so that dirt does not collect on the sculpture. This will maintain the sculpture for your grandchildren and then their grandchildren!

We are chopping down this big fir tree from beside the fence as it's hideous (amongst other reasons!) and need ideas for a replacement shrub or robust climber. We want something around 6 - 8 ft tall to provide privacy and screen out the neighbours shed. Preferably fast growing (ie we don't want to wait 5 years). It is west facing so will get full sun at the top but partial shade at bottom. Soil is dryish although that could be due to fir tree currently sapping the moisture. Here is a pic of how it is at present:
Excellent, thank you all. They seem to be so sturdy and grow anywhere! And yes a pheasant berry not a partridge!
B&Q used to do bright orange garden tools. No chance of losing them (unfortunately!)
Anyone have any idea if it is possible to transplant a Leycesteria (Himalayan Honeysuckle). We have several dotted around, but there is a small one about 2 foot tall that is in the wrong place so we would like to move it. Has anyone tried this? Would I need to cut it back first? And what time of year is best? (I'm guessing Autumn, but this is a guess!)
haha nice location for a nest.. food on the doorstep
Hmm blackbirds could well be the culprits. But why only those berries and not the others?
We have 2 or 3 hedgehogs that visit our garden nightly. We leave out dry hedgehog food on a little saucer on one of the paving slabs.. when they come along they stand on the saucer and tip it up, making a 'chink' sound on the paving slab which we hear from our bedroom... it always makes us smile.
Does anyone know what could possibly be eating my redcurrants? I bought a new little bush earlier in the year which is now about 2 feet high and planted it in a gap amongst the already established blackcurrants and raspberries. But in the last week or so something or someone has eaten almost all the new little redcurrant berries that were hanging from it The thing that is baffling me is that whatever it was left the thousands of blackcurrants and raspberries and just went for the few redcurrants I had. There is no bird poo anywhere around there to give any clues.
Any ideas?
(I have since covered everything with netting!)
Got rid and planted a new one, which is (so far) growing beautifully!
Thanks for the advice. I'm reluctant to cut it down to the base Obelixx as its taken 2 years to grow since last cut down! Maybe I will try cutting out the dead bits and feed it and see what happens. I guess I can cut it down if all else fails. Its such a shame after waiting so long!
Never heard of garlic water for slugs! I go out daily to collect slugs and snails from the garden. Its become a bit of an obsession!

Dear Economist,
Congratulations. The group of readers that seem to be violently against your idea for local taxation seem to have come up with about the least informed responses that I have ever seen to an Economist piece. You seem to have really struck a gold mine.
Dear readers who disagree with the piece,
Please read Henry George's "Progress and Poverty" or at least Robert Andelson's summary of it, "Henry George and the Reconstruction of Capitalism".
I generally agree with or learn from the views or opinions of this magazine. However, this article on China's property tax is so wrong at so many different levels. I am shocked to see such a shallow assertion made in a magazine like this.
To start, unlike the west, there are no private properties in China. Chinese home "owners" only have the right to use properties for up to 70 years. This is essentially a lease agreement with the central government. WHY should anyone pay property tax on leased properties?
Secondly, property tax with many potential loop holes will be hard to implement effectively and efficiently in a country without rules of law. Even with the existing tax system, Tax evasions happen every day especially at the corporate level. Why would property tax be an exception? If property tax IS implemented, who is responsible to evaluate the market value of the properties? How should the property tax rate be determined? How creditable are these numbers to the citizens? Who should be collecting the tax? All these areas could exist potential loop holes – officials can be bought out to evaluate one's property lower than others so that "someone" can pay less tax, or they can be bought out to eliminate "someone's" taxes all together.
Finally, collecting tax should have a very specific purpose. However, in China, this is not the case. Tax money is spent by different levels of government without acknowledging the tax payers. This echoes an earlier comment: "Taxation without representation". Let's say for some reason, property tax in China just like the property tax in the west does have a purpose (i.e. for public education, policing, fire fighters, garbage collection and etc.). Then property tax would be based on the services provided rather than a fixed rate on property value. (cities will get the budget approved and then tax the property owners) The notion that "such taxes allow local authorities to capture some of the value they create: as they invest in local amenities, property values rise, and so do the taxes they are able to collect" from this article is no longer valid.
Lol how can China use property tax, when they have 30+ new empty cities where no one can afford to live. Most of the property is local government or speculator owned. If you tax them the whole market in China will collapse, already property prices are plummeting.
Taxation without representation. Good luck with that.
Also, "property" tax in a land with no rule of law where "property" rights cannot be protection without an independent judiciary.
I suppose irony is incompatible with Confucianism (or at least the communist rewriting of such).
For once, one must wish that China would not take heed of one of your suggestions: basing local governments' revenues on property taxes. This indeed "would provide a stable source of revenue". But that is precisely the problem: local potentates disconnect their resources from their constituents' incomes. In France, local entities raise their revenues not from incomes, but from properties, as did the ancien régime. You will not find a French mayor or "président de conseil régional" who, once elected, does not breed a herd of white elephants, knowing that he can fund his pet projects with the annual theft of a share of all properties, progressively impoverishing his victims. Your adjoining article "Hey, big spender", where you acknowledge that "the French state spends too much" applies to all subdivisions of the French Leaviathan, precisely because they practice what you recommend.
Hmm..interesting. Perhaps, but the state does require a consistent source of revenue to fund public infrastructure and amenities - we don't want to deny them entirely!
The existing land expropriation, development and lease model that they use stimulates a wasteful speculative market. And because it's done on land that technically doesn't have property rights (rural hukou residents) there's no incentive for accountability. That is, it already is dangerously disconnected from their constituency.
I do think property tax would reign in the inefficient expansion, and thus also the expropriation of rural land by providing an alternate model of revunue collection. ALSO, if this is coupled with property right reform that gives rural dwellers the rights of land use - the farmers themselves could sell their land to developers, which would cut out the state role as middle man entirely. Farmers would get paid, states would get paid through property tax, developers would get their land at market value and the city would grow efficiently and organically in a bottom up fashion.
That 'inefficent expansion' counts for at least 60% of China's annual GDP growth. The Chinese government has to keep GDP growth above 8% (nevermind if it isn't quality GDP growth) it's all about keeping the population too busy to revolt. Look at the unrest reports, bad enough as it is.
What happens when China's bubble economy bursts.
I'm sorry to say this is just another article by the uninformed battery of new Ideology 101 graduates the Economist seems to hire - those who have iphones and "tweet furiously".
To a government, local or otherwise, revenue is revenue. There is no magic about revenue from property taxes any more than from a VAT, an income tax, parking meters, or any other source.
The issues are more related to tradition and the cultural and historical economic environment in which these taxes must operate. A change in the tax base will affect many of these tradtions.
At the moment, China's investment markets are not so highly-developed as in the West and there are not so many places to put cash. Plus, the Chinese generally prefer real assets to paper, and that is why investment goes into homes and retail shop space.
The property taxes that the Economist so thoughtlessly promotes, will affect the private investment landscape throughout China, and will force a perhaps dangerous change in attitude toward speculative paper rather than real assets.
This issue is unrelated to the courage of the national or local governments to introduce necessary changes, but it has everything to do with wanting to preserve beneficial Chinese culture and attitudes.
These factors do not exist in the West and needn't be considered, but the fact that the West has a different system of revenue sources does not mean that system should be transplanted to another culture. There is no evidence that it's superior; it's just the Western way of doing things.
Once again, the Economist has managed to write an article on a subject it knows nothing about. It takes a few facts, totally misinterprets their meaning and significance, extrapolates to nonsense conclusions, and then presumes to offer "solutions" based on nothing more apparent than Western capitalist ideology.
We have a saying in China that if you are here for a month, you could write a book. If you're here for a year, you could write a chapter; after five years, you could write a paragraph. And after that, you could write a note on a postcard - about the food.
Nothing in China is the same as in the West. Westerners may see events clearly enough, but they interpret those events in terms of what they would mean if they happened in their own country and culture. Inevitably, all those interpretations are dead wrong, and the recommendations that flow from them usually have the added attraction of being stupid.
And now the Economist has a whole new section dedicated to China. Yippee. And now we'll be able to read even more uniformed nonsense and see even more dumb recommendations about what China "should" do.
True... what is interesting though is the ignorant refusal of some of such 'analysts' to at least try to apply some kind of critical method to their views and suggestions based on them. It doesn't take to be a rocket science to understand that China (or many other countries in Asia, not least Japan) are NOT working in the same way we do in Europe (or US). That our system by default is NOT superior, that Western values (such as 'human rights' or 'freedom of speech') are NOT necessarily understood in the same way.
And why should it be the case? People eat different food in different countries, have different religions and different cultural aspects. Some of them are jeopardizing development (look at most Arab and other Islamic nations) but some are not (China, Singapore). What's the big fuss? Why should China do things in the same way as they are done in Europe? Just WHY? It's been doing amazingly well over the past 30 years and why should it be different now? I think some of those super-confident and never-wrong iPhone 'journalists' should sincerely ask themselves a question... just what IF I am wrong? Perhaps just for the sake of being sure, why not to try to at least consider a possibility that perhaps China MAY after all succeed WITHOUT doing things that supposedly work in the West? Is it really THAT hard to overcome that superiority complex and assumption that whatever they say based upon Western perceptions is 100% correct just because... it is?
Analysis and quality journalism should not be based on subjective Bible/Quran styled 'truths' and dogmas that cannot be questioned but rather scientific critical method which usually means an objective and honest attempt to investigate and evaluate all likely options and outcomes after which some conclusions can be made. For the time being all we see are citations from the 'holy books' of sham and agenda-based journalism which totally ignores anything that does not support their point. This is just sad.
I am thankful to The Economist, however, for not deleting 'inappropriate' comments and opinions under their articles which is the practice used by BBC which deletes anything that is not in line with their ideological agenda.
Property taxes would be a big disincentive to those holding a portfolio of empty property. Unfortunately those same people, whilst a tiny minority of the population, hold enormous political clout. They are not in general the newly rich middle classes, they are the upper cadre of party stalwarts. China has passed over democracy for feudalism, with noble families (princelings, and children of the old elite), aristocracy, and peasants with a middle class wedged between the peasants and the aristocracy. Whilst policies are maintained to benefit the party arisotcracy there will be no fairness for the masses. One interesting consequnce of this will be a plummeting urban birth rate in cities like Shanghai. When men have to wait until they are 40 to buy a house and get married, they will be lucky if they can squeeze in their mandated single child, never mind a population replenishing second child. 为人民服务!
The point here is NOT about how to implement such tax on technically leased properties, but that the implementation of property tax will fuel the idea of privatizing the land/properties among the public, and this is some issue the Chinese government is yet ready to take on.
"continued weak local-government finances"
Exactly. I understood that the government can buy socially owned land from communal farmers for cheap and then sell it to developers for a lot. Except now they have been told they must develop social housing for the people migrating from the countryside so may not get as much from land leases. Also local governments are highly indebted after much keynsian borrowing and spending after the 2008 crisis (just like European countries). Many of these loans are due in the next couple of years. Do the Chinese local authorities have the capacity to pay them off? If the economy slows, or there is a burst property bubble the local governments would not be able to get as much from further land leases if that's what they are dependent upon. If they can't pay there debts what will happen Does the central government have the capacity to step in? Or could we see a Chinese crisis to follow on from the US and European ones?
Is truth stranger than fiction? How crazy it is for "Capitalist Economist" to advise "Communist China" on "Property Tax" !!! Property (at least property based on inheritance) is THEFT. Who can collect and who will pay taxes on "Robbed Goods" unless the Robbers decide to do so as in the Capitalist System. In China, the Robbers are still not strong enough for that. Will they ever become strong in China though the Economist is sponsoring them?
The deceloping "Housing Bubble" in the Capitalist World suggest that the "SOLUTION" is taking a different path !
This is quite stupid, I shouldn't even respond. But how is expropriating land from rural villagers who are compensated below market value, and then selling the land at market value to developers not unjust, and yes, even theft?
"Theft" can be given different intepretations depending on the context but basically it means taking something which you have not earned and in this sense one owns only the value added by his labour which of course is difficult to compare and quantify without an agreeable monetary values for the variety of labour human beings are engaged. I specifically mentioned inheritance as theft though "Property" itself cannot be separated from theft. In general whatever you get more than your contribution is theft. When State does it,it is "Legalised Theft". When the vast majority are adversely affected to unbearable levels by the "Legalised Theft", people change the system including the State. ONLY when you establish a "Value System" when evryone is happy with what he gets, you will make the State to cease to exist, at least the element of force is not required.
I remember a survey by the ECONOMIST which said some 86% of the Chinese people are happy with the way their Government os progressing. The next best Government in the World is Beazil with 50%. So my friend guest-ijjljwn should be very careful in accusing the Chinese Government as probably he represents the 14% !
No one forces me to sell my property. I choose to do so of my own free will. The transaction is done at a price everyone is happy with. In your own words, there is no theft here.
Unlike in China, the buyer can invest in his new property. He can make it more productive because he is not living in fear that it will be stolen and sold to property developers at a price he is not happy with when it suits the local government. In your own words, this is theft.
I never even implied that what is happening is NOT theft. That is why I called it "Legalised Theft". But such "Legalised Thefts" are not confined to the Chinese State. All States are instruments of "Legalised Theft" by the Globalised Establishments. Have you not heard of the Land Grab by the Indian State from the Adhivasis on behalf of International Mining Companies? Have you not heard of the Land Grab by the Sri Lankan Government from the Tamil Homeland after defeating LTTE with the help of the Globalised Establishments? How about Israel Grabbing Arab Lands with the help of "Mighty" USA ? Do you know that Australia was built on Lands Grabbed from the Aborigines ? Not only Lands but even the Children of Aborigines were stolen as a continuation of Slavery. I can continue the List. Can you Name a single State where "Legalised Theft" is not happening?
I believe your intended definition of theft is any "grabbing" by force. Using that definition, you are probably correct. Every state engages in land theft.
But I do not accept this. In America, takings by force follow the rule of law. They may be safely challenged and repeatedly appealed in independent court. These laws were created by democratically elected people for the greater good of society. If society believes the laws are not fair they can loudly demand changes and have many chances to elect people who are willing to do so.
That is why I called it "Legalised Theft". Democracies or Dictatorships can have rules about THEFT but that does not change the nature of Theft. So long as one is denied the fruits of Labour less acceptable cost of social administration, it is THEFT.
i do not understand, please fully explain what "acceptable cost of social administration" means.
My argument is based on the Labour Theory of value that Labour and Labour alone creates wealth. Resources of Nature belongs to everyone and nobody can inherit that by any relationship. Having said that, it is also true that "Collective Effort" is needed for survival. So we need to have an acceptable(to everyone) mechanism of distributing the fruits of Labour back to the individuals and that involves social administrative cost. In addition to the administrative costs some agreeable amount could be allocated for research and development. No individual should be able to enjoy anything more than his Labour taking due account for disabilities.
But today the manipulators of the "Corporate World" as well as the "Bureaucrats of State Capitalism (whether it is the Socialist variety or the Capitalist "Bail Out" variety)seem to enjoy UNIMAGINABLE PLEASURES OF LIFE with salaries in millions by squeezing the Labour of the 99%. This again may be "Legalised Theft" but it has to be challened. The OCCUPY MOVEMENT is one such challenge.
I assume you include land as a "resource of nature"?
How do you arrive at an "acceptable to everyone mechanism? My experience is that it is difficult to get 8 people to agree on anything. One million people is an impossibility
Yes, Land is a resource of Nature. Also agree that it is difficult to arrive at a mechanism acceptable to all. But it is not impossible. It is a question of decision making by CONSENSUS. Decisions are being taken by Consensus on many occasions including the USE OF BETO in the UN Security Council. It becomes easy in a group when the group realises that it has common interest. So the first step is to define common interest.
If we can organise a group which is opposed to any form of THEFT, then it becomes easy. Why should there be THEFT if we agree to "Live and Enable to Live"? This is the only way to get out of the Environmental Crisis and the Economic Crisis which have grown OUT OF YJE GREED of the 1% to be a Monster that can swallow the planet.
I can find no reference to BETO in the UN security council. Do you mean veto? If so, please do me the courtesy of spelling and capitalizing your posts correctly. If not, could you give me a pointer.
If you mean veto, the argument seems immediately self defeating. Syria is only the current one of many examples of its failures. Syria hides behind Russian and Chinese vetoes to continue killing its citizens. Both are voting their self interest. People have a timeless history of doing that.
I'm not much interested in discussing abstract conceptual realities. We exist in a messy, chaotic one. If you want to consider this discussion please stick to solutions that might be implemented here.
Very sorry about the spelling (accidental typing, the B and V keys are side by side) mistake. The fact that you could guess the correct word proves that it is an insignificant triviality.Normally it is considered uncivil to make such a fuss about it.
I am aware that Veto has been used in the case of Syria but that has not changed the trend. The veto that was used 5-10 times per year in the in the first 40-50 years of UN existence is now being used only about once a year in the last 15-20 years. The trend is very clear that the oppressive "Globalised Establishments" are moving towards Consensus Decision Making. This is further proved by the fact that all the recent wars are by Coalitions of 30-50 oppressive countries against a single entity.
While the 1% is moving very fast towards Consensus, the 99% is very very far away from Consensus. If 99% is also moving towards Consensus, then the 1% also may think of Consensus with the 99%,
Consensus Decision Making is the ONLY practical way forward and it is NOT abstract conceptual reality as you imagine.
"such taxes allow local authorities to capture some of the value they create: as they invest in local amenities, property values rise"
Property values presumably also rise when land is taken from farmers and turned over to developers, so it's difficult to see how this would do much to curb land-grabs.
True. The article didn't go into detail about this, but in order to gain the maximum value of expropriated rural land, local governments have taken to investing their potential profits into developing new urban districts. This means connecting the rural land to the city's transit systems and building up public amenities in order to swell the land rent. Once this reaches a certain point that land is sold.
In this way local government use 'urban district construction' to maximize profit while funding local infrastructure.
As I see it, there are two problems with this:
a)This incentives constant urban expansion and district creation in order to maintain profits. A property tax would provide a constant stream of revenue.
b)The rural villagers get screwed during this whole process. If property rights were granted to rural villagers, property tax could be a way for local governments to have access to a source of revenue that doesn't entail this unnecessary cruel expropriation.
I need some clarifications from the Economist. I lived in Shangahi in 2005 , for six months, and talking to locals, I was told that when you buy proprerty in China you do not buy the land. The land remains a property of the state. And you just lease it for a very long period. Say 99 years.Under this light, how can you tax a property that belong to the goverment.
I have not read that it has changed.Am I wrong?
Well leasing land for 99 years is not all that different from owning it, at least when it comes to yearly property tax...
Leases could easily be written so that the tenant is responsible for paying all property taxes.
That is a loophole in the current system. Back in the 1990s, when the government decided to open the housing market, it set the lease period of 70 years, without passing any law how to renew such lease. It is pretty amazing that the Chinese people are so crazy about buying homes even their homes might be taken away many years later.
Well laws in China are somewhat flexible and what legally may or may not happen a few decades from now is practically irrelevant.
Within reason, the CPC can change laws as they see fit.
A simple economics lesson will explain why the land is de facto owned by the homeowner, not the government. The government only has a right to the land in 99 years and at any reasonable discount rate the present value of something in 99 years, not matter how valuable in 99 years, is near zero. The asset that the government owns in effect is worthless.

Industries in the firing line of the skills shortage are being urged to take preventative measures to safeguard their supply of workers, and according to a new research paper the future reality will see a plethora of unfilled jobs.
Professional services firm Deloitte has released the first paper in its new series, Building the Lucky Country – Business Imperatives for a Prosperous Australia, which has identified severe shortcomings by government and Australian business in taking pre-emptive measures against the skills shortage.
Deloitte CEO, Giam Swiegers, said leading organisations have already realised the growing problem, and are engaged in ideas and solutions to address the issue.
"They are already developing larger, more effective workforces, tapping into underutilised workers, getting the most out of the workers who already work for them, and using innovative, new ways to leverage hidden sources of labour capacity," Swiegers said.
Chris Richardson, of Deloitte Access Economics, commented that while the resources industries go from strength to strength, migration to Australia has fallen alongside the biggest surge in retiree numbers ever seen.
These factors combined mean thenext few years will see skill shortages proliferate, according to Richardson.
"Businesses need to realise that the future won't be like the past and the competition will be for workers, rather than jobs. That somebody already working for you is more valuable than they have been before. That letting somebody retire without exploring the options to keep them for longer may be a wasted and costly opportunity," Richardson added.
The discussion paper highlighted positive actions businesses and policy makers can take to maintain staffing requirements as workers become harder to find:
Swiegers commented that while there was no 'one size fits all' solution, "Those who respond early and effectively will be best placed to flourish."

As a career development practitioner this is a key area of interest for myself and my clients. I recently just wrote a blog in relation to the skills shortage and the link this has to the traditional career development model; on the job mentoring and development of employees by an organisation. This included engagement of staff from early on in the career and collaboratively working on career planning and progression. This is something that has become a low focus in a number of organisations; rather than supplementing career development higher education seems to have been used in many instances to replace it. Through focusing on employees, an organisation will achieve increase staff engagement, reduction in attrition and develop outstanding talent. Career Development for all staff is key to an organisations success.

An illuminated Check Engine Light could indicate that one or more of the ignition coils has failed due to excessive spark plug gap. To fix this problem, the ignition coils that have failed, the spark plugs, and all coil boots should be replaced.
Problems for specific Ford F-150 years:
Car problem reports

Most reported 2002 Ford F-150 problems
Engine Oil Leak from Right Head Gasket
An oil leak may develop from the the right side head gasket. Oil from this type of leak will commonly drip onto the starter. Our technician tell us an updated head gasket is available to correct this concern.
One or More Spark Plugs May be Ejectioned From the Cylinder Head
There is a technical service bulletin for the V8 engines regarding a possible problem with the spark plug being ejected from the cylinder head, damaging the threads in the spark plug hole. If the vehicle is under warranty, cylinder head replacement is recommended. If the vehicle is out of warranty, Ford authorized the use of a specific thread insert to repair the head.
Rough Idle Caused by EGR Sensor Sticking
Noise from rear end when turning
If a noise from the rear end is heard when going around turns or after driving at highway speed for an extended period, there is an updated differential clutch kit available.
EGR orfice in intake may plug with carbon
The EGR orifices in the intake manifold may plug with sludge. If the truck has high mileage, this may cause engine misfire when first accelerating because too much EGR gas is directed into the cylinders of the unplugged orifices. This makes the mixture lean, which causes a gradual stumble that increases in severity until repaired.

Despite Canon's rating of 32 degrees F for the coldest working range; I've tested it to -35 degrees F. The LCD screen was slow but it still worked great. It handles -15 degrees F all day long. The built in wireless ttl flash control works great. You can control two groups of flashes from the camera menu screen. No need to buy a speedlite transmitter.

Despite Canon's rating of 32 degrees F for the coldest working range; I've tested it to -35 degrees F. The LCD screen was slow but it still worked great. It handles -15 degrees F all day long. The built in wireless ttl flash control works great. You can control two groups of flashes from the camera menu screen. No need to buy a speedlite transmitter. If you are wondering if it is built strong enough, don't. Watch the Nikon D90 vs Canon 550D Durability Test on YouTube. If the Rebel can handle that much abuse and still work I have no worries for the 60D. This thing takes great pictures. ISO 6400 wow! The extended ISO 12800 is not really useful since it just doubles the exposure of ISO 6400. Of course you get noise at 6400, but it's 6400! The sensor cleaner works great. The software that came with the camera works great. I've been able to save a few shots that were taken in this super flat Alaskan winter light. So far my two biggest complaints would be the focus screen and the number of auto focus points. Why do they put these useless focus screens on DSLR's now a-days? I'll probably sport for an after market focus screen if I ever convert a manual only lens. The number of AF points is only a minor complaint, not that big of an issue. The 18-135 lens. Wide angle and telephoto in one. This is a great all purpose lens. It does everything. It just doesn't excel in anything. I still recommend it.

I recently received a Canon 60D for Christmas, replacing my Rebel Xti. This camera is brilliant! My favorite features include the ability to shoot in low light situations with ease, and the ability to shoot both jpg's and RAW in one shot is amazing! That battery power is also amazing. I spent two weeks on a Caribbean cruise, and took well over 250 shots, and still had half the battery life left. And the shots were crystal clear, using my two Canon zoom lenses. Thanks, Canon, for a fine product. I can't imagine why Canon has stopped production of this camera!
It was a gift from my mom, my very first DSLR and she made the made the best decision in choosing this camera. Of course she asked my uncle for help as he is a professional photographer and he recommended this camera because its just perfect for an amateur like me.
This is a top of the line Canon. The pictures are stunning!!!!
Best give ever . It fills everything I need .love it
For a starter to begin with using DSLR Camera, this is the best shot. It is very user friendly.
This camera is great with lots of great features. A major upgrade from the t4i. Takes great pictures and video.
Great to start out with. Easy to use and great camera for the price.
I have had this camera for a couple of years now and it has never let me down. Speed and stabilization is great. I am not a camera geek and can only tell you the pictures are wonderful. Any bad pics have been all my fault. Does more than I ask of it. I have never been happier with a purchase. It has also taken its share of beatings - although I have not dropped it from a height. I carry it in a backpack and tend to throw it in my car when I am on the go. I hope to save my money for a larger lens to take even better wild life pictures. All in all, could not be more satisfied.
I started out my Canon camera purchases with point and shoot models when digital cameras first came on the scene. My first DSLR was a Canon xsi. I really feel in love with that camera and shot many thousands of shots without a problem. Many of them turned out so well I entered several in contests and they at least got published. Now I was a committed Canon fanatic with my EF compliment of lens, I decided to upgrade to a 60D. I have had this camera now for about three years and have shot thousands of photos with it. I just love this camera! The quality of the photos I take, even cropped and brought into LR and PS are simply amazing. I am now in a position to upgrade to one of the newer Canon models. As a member of Kelby One when I saw Scott Kelby review the Canon 7D Mark II, I almost bit the bullet and decided to purchase one for myself for Christmas. I liked how all of my lenses would fit the camera body and the fast shutter speed and low light performance almost got me hooked. Then I started getting more serious about the purchase by looking at the features of my 60D vs the new 7D Mark II. First of all, I didn't like the fact the 7D doesn't have an articulating monitor screen. Next I didn't think I really needed that much more speed in burst mode vs my 60D that I have found very acceptable. Lastly, I know it must be great to be able to shoot without noise in the much higher ISO setting with the 7D, but is it really worth me to upgrade at this time. The final conclusion is my decision to stay put with my trusty old 60D and perhaps put my money into a couple more lenses. I really wish at least Canon had put the articulating monitor screen on the new 7D Mark II. I use mine a lot, especially when I shoot video and get in a position when the camera fixed screen just isn't going to allow me to see my shot.
Just recently bought the refurb'd 60D. Already extremely happy with the purchase. I'm upgrading from a T3i. Everything from how the camera feels to image quality is better. I know both cameras have the same sensor, but the 60D images are still better than the Rebel's. First, the camera fills my hand better and feels more balanced. Second, I love the more choices for ISO selection. Third, even though there are still only 9 focus points, they are all cross type points on the 60D. Fourth, looking through the pentaprism viewfinder is so much nicer than on the Rebel, and the focus points are a lot more visible. Also, when I preview a picture on the LCD it highlights which focus point I used. Last, and this may sound weird, but the shutter sound on the Rebel just sounded kind of cheap and "chirpy". I really like the way the 60D sounds and it also has quiet mode as well for sensitive situations.

Companies like Coca-Cola, Nike, Unilever, Procter & Gamble (P&G), McDonald's, and Johnson & Johnson have done a great job converting their brands into household names in Metro China, mainly by investing big in advertising and promotions. Having pockets deep enough to put these messages in front of the Chinese people is great, but if your firm is interested in entering this market of 1.37 billion people but doesn't have access to the advertising financial resources of a Coca-Cola or P&G, what do you do?
Start thinking about word-of-mouth (WOM) campaigns. Due to historic events and their family teachings, Chinese people tend not to trust content coming from strange sources. However, Chinese people are known to be loyal to their friends and family. Forrester Technographics® data shows that "recommendations from friends and family" (44%) is the primary source of content people trust in Metro China. Interestingly, among the top five sources, we also see "email from people you know" (40%) and "social networking site profiles from people you know" (25%). These are both forms of word of mouth that have transitioned from the offline world to the online world.

Over the past year, my colleague Andrew McInnes and I have immersed ourselves in the world of enterprise feedback management (EFM), which we define as follows:
A system of software and processes that enables organizations to centrally collect, analyze, and report on feedback from key customer groups and tailor insights for various internal users.
During this time, it has been a great experience talking with vendors and clients about how this technology tool enables companies to bring all of the customer data and information collected across channels together into one platform. This ability is more important than ever given that we have entered the "age of the customer" — a period marked by the rise of the empowered customer, who is armed with more information than ever before and who is now using a rapidly evolving set of devices as a means of engaging not only with friends and family but also with companies anytime and anywhere. To be successful in this new world, companies must understand how consumers interact across these multiple touchpoints; failure to do so can lead to a fragmented view of the customer.
While it is clear that companies must embrace EFM, what is not as clear is how they should navigate the EFM vendor landscape. This is due to the dozens of small vendors, evolving market segments, and increasing M&A activity. To help professionals within the marketing and strategy organization, Andrew and I decided to conduct a Forrester Wave™ evaluation of the EFM vendors.

Earlier this week, I attended the Esomar Congress in Amsterdam. It was a home game for me, but even I was impressed by the location and its very Dutch look and feel; I felt proud of my country (of course it helps that I'm a big fan of stroopwafels, poffertjes, mature cheese, and bitterballen).
Not only were the surroundings impressive, but so were the presentations. Only a couple of the 20 or so that I saw were average. Most presentations gave a good overview of a new methodology, the client side of the story, and the challenges faced. My personal highlights included the Heineken/TNS presentation, in which they used neuroscience (or more precisely electroencephalography [EEG], biometrics, and eye-tracking) to measure how relevant viewers felt the ad was to them, how excited they were by it, and what areas of the screen they looked at while it played. You can find the summary by Robert Bain of Research Magazine here.

One of the responsibilities of my role includes analyzing data in complex ways to help our clients understand how their target groups behave and if there are more relevant ways to segment them based on the results. However, sometimes it just makes sense to take a step back and look at some basic demographic profiles as a starting point for further analysis. We developed a new deliverable that we call Demographic Overview, and we kicked off the series with digital dads, followed by digital moms, and these will soon be complemented with digital natives and digital Seniors.
So why is it important for companies to look at dads? Forrester's Technographics® data shows that s lightly more than one-third of US online men ages 18 to 50 are parents of a child younger than 18 living with them. Companies need to understand how the digital profile of dads differs from non-dads, as their behaviors influence the tech behaviors of their kids.
Some of our findings include that in general, dads are more likely to use the Internet as a resource, while non-dads are more active in entertainment-focused activities such as social networking. But dads know how to use social media to get their point across: 72% of dads who regularly engage in social activities have posted a review of a product or service on Twitter in the past 12 months, as compared with only 57% of non-dads.

As the newest addition to the market insights team, I would like to introduce myself. My name is Gina Sverdlov, and I recently joined Forrester as a consumer insights analyst.
I am very excited to be here! My background is in economics, consulting, advertising, and using quantitative methods to provide actionable insights for my clients. In my role here at Forrester, I am going to focus on bringing our multiple data sources to life and turning numbers to actionable insights. I am enthusiastic about engaging with our clients to devise strategies that will be successful in today's changing market dynamics.
For my first Forrester document, "Connection: The Spark That Lights Up The European Digital Home," I've been looking at device ownership in Europe and how recent trends compare with the IHS Global Insight Economic Outlook. What I found, for example, is that laptop penetration in Europe has increased from 20% in 2006 to 51% in 2010 amid hefty declines in European retail sales in 2008 and 2009 and personal disposable income in 2009 and 2010. As a follow-up, I've identified how the uptake of different emerging technologies like LCD, plasma, and 3D TV correlate with ownership of other devices and where there are opportunities for consumer electronics (CE) companies.

Blackmailer jailed for two years
A man from Headstone who blackmailed his victim into handing over £7,000 in cash has been jailed for two years.
Mital Shah, 23, of Cunningham Park, was found guilty on three counts of blackmail at Harrow Crown Court on Thursday, 12 March. He was sentenced on Friday, March 13 at the same court to two years' imprisonment.
Shah and the victim were friends when in September 2010, he asked to borrow several hundred pounds from her, which she agreed to. However, he continued to ask her for money and within the space of two weeks she had transferred £2,700 into his account. Shah's request for money stopped when the victim told him she had given him all of her student loan.

U2 - Love Is Blindness Lyrics
U2 - Love Is Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't wanna see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh, my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh, my love
A little death
Without mourning
No call
And no warning
Baby, a dangerous idea
That almost makes sense
Love is drowning
In a deep well
All the secrets
And no one to tell
Take the money
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my love
