THREE PHASES of the European and World Revolution
Table of Contents =
(1) Phase One = The Liberal revolution
(2) Phase Two = The Rise of Social Democracy
(3) Phase Three = The Statist/Managerial Revolution
[a] sct#1= Bibliography
[b] sct#2= Academic Theories of Political Culture (Revolution, War Democracy, etc.)
A 4-part definition of "revolution" =
(1) Revolution is a conscious assault on an existing governmental system.
An assault simply to change who is in power is, by itself, not revolution. We call that "coup d'etat". Therefore =
(2) Revolution seeks to put another governmental system in the place of the old.
So far, this definition of revolution is a lot like the definition of war, especially wars of conquest. In fact, revolutions have historically been associated with wars -- before, during and/or after revolution. A research group once concluded that revolution ought to be called "internal war". Thus a third component is necessary to distinguish revolution from inter-state or international war (between two existing governmental systems) =
(3) Revolution originates within the existing governmental authority and
participants from within that sphere are at the center of the action.
To be a revolution, events must be largely "home grown", not introduced from beyond the limits of the governmental system under revolutionary assault.
The most famous revolutions involved great masses of participants and a degree of violence, though the numbers involved and the levels of violence are not essential to the definition. Certainly the effects of authentic revolution will always involve great masses of people, whether they actively participate or not. That is so because governmental systems are always intertwined with the full life of those within the systems' jurisdiction.
Let's add a final component to our definition, at least for consideration =
(4) Revolution is a distinctly modern experience
Not all epochs experienced revolution. For one thing, revolutions are unlikely in times or places where there does not exist the idea of "progress" and the belief in the possibility -- maybe we should say "the democratic imperative" -- of popular political mobilization. Only in the modern historical epoch has revolution become one of the standard (if ultra extreme) forms of domestic political behavior. Three early modern European "thinkers" captured these modern ideas or sentiments and left a legacy that has proved controversial but enduring and globally influential = John Locke [ID], Jean Jacques Rousseau [ID], Jeremy Bentham [ID]. Into the 19th century, four further figures gave wide credence to related but different visions of history as progress = Charles Fourier [ID], Saint-Simon [ID], Auguste Comte [ID], and Karl Marx [LOOP]
The era of European liberal revolution began with what some call the "Atlantic Revolution"
The central liberal concept, the guiding revolutionary social-political idea or ideal, both in the American and French revolutions, was "constituency" =
Ideas and ideals were only part of the equation. Great changes caused by revolutionary transition from pre-modern ways ("feudal" in Europe) to modern ways have everywhere forced a rebalancing of traditional relationships. The modern world has posed a profound challenge to traditional cultures, in "The West" and everywhere else =
"The Left" and "The Right"
Out of the French Revolution came the now universal symbolism for the spectrum of political opinion that arose in response to this transformation of public life = "left", "center", "right". These cardinal points in the European political universe might not be best arrayed in a straight line, left to right, but around a near-circular Greek letter "omega" =
liberal conservative
radical Ω reactionary
Around these points on the political spectrum that great swarm of 19th-century "-isms" hived themselves.
Liberals strove for independence from institutional authority and maximum individual freedom
Social ties were understood less in a "communitarian" way, more in terms of what came to be widely designated as "the social contract", such as espoused by John Locke [EG]. [LOOP on "liberal" from 1780s to 1880s]
Conservatives strove to preserve traditions and sustain historically proven ways of life
Social ties were understood to be hierarchical and stable in a traditional "community", such as espoused by Edmund Burke [EG]
Radicals strove for a better future, such as had not yet been experienced, only conceptualized
Social ties might be thought of in rigorous and confining communitarian terms [EG],
or in an opposite direction, utterly spontaneous and anarchistic [EG]
Reactionaries strove to restore a past perfection, also
not yet experienced, only conceptualized
Society was generally subordinate to authoritarian regulatory agencies, such as church, state, censors, police and military,
as urged by Joseph de Maistre [EG] or Metternich [EG]
The omega form presented above reminds us that liberals and
conservatives do group together around the upper curve
While radicals and reactionaries are at the extremes, they seem almost to make contact with one another at low center
Post-French-Revolutionary Chronology
Historical Contradictions within Liberalism
At the heart of the "Atlantic" or "liberal" revolution two sets of contradictions festered =
Striking different compromises along the ridge of these contradictions, European nations shaped their various domestic political, social and economic futures [more on relationship of political/institutional and economic changes in this era]
"Crunch Time" =
The central feature of the second phase of the European Revolution =
the clash of interests of workers with the interests of owners
If the first phase can be called "liberal", the second can be called "social-democratic"
Big SAC LOOP on "wage-labor", from 1860s up to WW1
The era of social-democratic reform and revolution evolved out of the European liberal revolution and came into conflict with it.
Liberalism had long struggled against opponents to the "right", and that struggle continued. But now opposition arose on the "left", and it arose from the midst of liberal movements themselves. A "left-wing liberal" trend, increasingly designated as "social-democracy" or "socialism", sought to resolve the contradictions between freedom and equality in new and more radically egalitarian ways -- though not necessarily more democratic ways.
The social-democratic phase, like the liberal phase before it, revealed an eventually tragic set of contradictions. The old liberal contradiction still could not be transcended, IE=The contradiction between freedom and equality. But a new set of contradictions were soon visible in the growth of aggressive military-statism and imperialistic internationalism, along with intense self-centered, often racist and chauvinistic nationalism.
Two remarkable developments, one in France and other in the northern German-speaking territories of middle Europe, signaled growing crisis in the hitherto ascendant liberal revolution =
1) The two decades (1850-1870) of Louis Napoleon (Napoleon III) in France [5-hop LOOP] were clear warning that the French Revolution could go sour, not just in the relationship of capitalists with labor but also in the relationship of the nation state to civil freedoms (including the so-called "free market")
2) Otto von Bismarck [6-hop LOOP] was born a Prussian but engineered creation of a new European nation-state, an imperial nation-state, the German Empire [MAP#1] [MAP#2]
*1906: Gaston DaCosta was a representative of what SAC calls the second phase of the European revolution. He was a survivor of the shocking urban uprising in a major European metropol called "The Paris Commune" [above]. He penned an angry, somewhat eccentric but brilliant and insightful interpretation of events 35 years earlier [E-TXT] =
The third phase of the European Revolution was inevitable once the habits, presumptions and practices of European Imperialism came home to roost
It is, perhaps, hardly necessary to say that this doctrine [liberty] is meant to apply only to human beings in the maturity of their faculties. We are not speaking of children, or of young persons below the age which the law may fix as that of manhood or womanhood. Those who are still in a state to require being taken care of by others, must be protected against their own actions as well as against external injury. For the same reason, we may leave out of consideration those backward states of society in which the race itself may be considered as in its nonage. The early difficulties in the way of spontaneous progress are so great, that there is seldom any choice of means for overcoming them; and a ruler full of the spirit of improvement is warranted in the use of any expedients that will attain an end, perhaps otherwise unattainable. Despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians, provided the end be their improvement, and the means justified by actually effecting that end. Liberty, as a principle, has no application to any state of things anterior to the time when mankind have become capable of being improved by free and equal discussion. Until then, there is nothing for them but implicit obedience to an Akbar or a Charlemagne, if they are so fortunate as to find one. But as soon as mankind have attained the capacity of being guided to their own improvement by conviction or persuasion (a period long since reached in all nations with whom we need here concern ourselves), compulsion, either in the direct form or in that of pains and penalties for non-compliance, is no longer admissible as a means to their own good, and justifiable only for the security of others.How do you explain the relationship of the preceding paragraph to the whole set of arguments put forward by Mill? More broadly, what happened to liberal Europe in the emerging age of aggressive Imperialism? Was there a way in which we might be tempted to say that the financial elites of Europe treated their own wage-labor populations as if they were "in a backward state of society"?
The violence and disorder of the Paris Commune came at the tail-end of a disturbing war between France and Prussia. This clusteration of events was evidence of transition from the grand 19th-century liberal phase toward the troubling third phase, the 20th-century phase of the European revolution.
Important reverberations of the previous two phases ran through the 20th and into the 21st centuries. The legacy of the previous two phases was far from extinguished. But however frequently we meet it, the traditional European political spectrum of "left" and "right" [ID] gives little authentic guidance to those who would try to understand this third phase of the European revolution
But we can point to three salient features of what SAC calls the third phase, managerial statism. Each salient feature arose in the late 19th century and are often captured in the terminology of that century's great "isms" =
How do the three 20th-c Russian revolutions (1905 [ID], 1917fe [ID], and 1917oc [ID]) fit in?
At first, the Russian revolutions, particularly the second (1917fe) seemed to harbinger a new era of social-democratic victory, a resolution of contradictions and a realization of ideals met in the first [ID] and the second [ID] phases of the European revolutionary tradition
Europeans widely assumed that the first phase made the second phase possible. Some thought it made it inevitable. The strengths of what we are calling the first two phases of the European Revolution complimented one another. The second phase fulfilled the first. Some greeted this fulfillment with enthusiasm. Others dreaded it with equal enthusiasm.
"Unnamed Revolution" =
There seemed some uncertainty about the nature of these two Russian revolutions, swiftly one after the other. Uncertainty was reflected in the fact that the second of the two Russian revolutions in 1917 bore so many different names = "Russian Revolution", "Communist Revolution", "Soviet Revolution", and "Bolshevik Revolution"
Calendar reform in 1918 further blurred the picture as it put the anniversary of the second Russian revolution, the "October Revolution", in November [ID]. Nonetheless, official Soviet designation was "Great October". (SAC prefers "Soviet Revolution")
Sociologist Harold Lasswell identified the Soviet Revolution as "The Unnamed Revolution" [ID], and he set about to define this novel third phase of the European revolution which swept out of eastern Europe and across the global landscape in the 20th century
The revolutionary Soviet state, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (1922-1991), was the first and, so far, most long-lived and massive expression of the third phase of the European revolution =
The politics of Joseph Stalin (Stalinism as a global "ism") were explained in two of Stalin's
writings =
A theoretical article, "Socialism in one country" [ID], and an urgent speech, "You must abolish backwardness" [ID]
Stalinism in practice can be summarized in four categories of state policy [ID]
Stalinism arose in a time of expanding Italian Fascist and German Nazi "statism"
A new form of "government" appeared on the historical stage, and it came to be called "totalitarianism" or radical statism [ID]
By the 1930s, it was clear that this third phase of the European Revolution found expression in several
regions [EG]
By the 1940s, it was clear that this third phase of the European Revolution found expression around the world [EG]

The Sheriff's Office saluted to its dedicated volunteers at the annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon on Tuesday, October 29. More than 200 volunteers provide specialized assistance and outreach to inmates at the William G. Truesdale Adult Detention Center, offering religious services, Bible study, substance abuse recovery programs, tutoring, and even yoga and meditation. Approximately 50 volunteers attended the luncheon at the Faith Activities Center at First Baptist Church. As the program began, guests viewed a video featuring inmates discussing how important the volunteers are to them and thanking them for volunteering in the Detention Center. Following lunch, Mondre' Kornegay, Technical Services Commander for the Sheriff's Office, delivered the keynote speech. She recognized and applauded the volunteers for their service and asked them to acknowledge how special they really are for not only sharing their time and skills, but for working with inmates who truly need them.Commander Kornegay then joined Sheriff Dana Lawhorne in presenting each volunteer with a small gift and certificate of appreciation. The program concluded with Sheriff Lawhorne expressing his admiration and gratitude to the dedicated corps of volunteers.
Photos: Volunteers enjoyed a video presentation before lunch and then heard inspiring remarks from Commander Mondre' Kornegay following their meal.

When Oakley aims to defy the limits of possibility, they take inspiration from the iron will of athletes like Lance Armstrong. The cycling legend was diagnosed with cancer in 1996 and underwent grueling surgery and chemotherapy, refusing the slim odds of survival and returning to win the Tour de France seven years in a row. Today his foundation inspires and empowers people affected by cancer.
This salute to the ultimate survivor is rendered in the colors of his foundation logo. You'll find the word "LIVESTRONG™ laser etched near the edge of the lens, and to cut glare and balance light in bright sun, the optics are tuned with BLACK IRIDIUM lens coating. The lenses are interchangeable to let you adapt to any environment, and the included protective SOFT VAULT case has room for an extra set when you expand your collection.

The Effects of Question-Generation Techniques on Reading Comprehension
Sivadge, Laura L.
MetadataShow full item record
The problem. Can the teaching of question-generation training improve reading comprehension and is there evidence of a successful student transference and a publication of question-generation training in content area subjects? Procedure. The subjects in this study were thirty-one sixth through eighth grade students at Norwalk Middle School who received instruction in the Developmental Reading Lab. Sixteen of the thirty-one students were given thirty-four lessons using question-generation comprehension techniques during one semester. Data were collected for grade point average and reading comprehension scores on the Iowa Test of Basic Skills(ITBS). At the beginning and conclusion of the semester, all students were given the reading comprehension subtest of the Stanford Diagnostic Reading Test (SDRT). Findings: A correlation of 0.580 was found between the two reading subtests. The administration of t-tests found the reading comprehension abilities of the students in the treatment and control groups similar at the onset and conclusion of this study. The correlation between the students' grade point averages and performance on the SDRT was 0.309. Conclusions. The results of this study indicate that the treatment made no difference in comprehension skill improvement. The inclusion of the question-generation technique in a program does not impede progress. However, it is evident that other factors, in addition to question generation techniques, are involved in the prediction of reading comprehension ability. Recommendations: Further studies are needed to ascertain whether efforts which increase question-generation usage could increase the level of an individual's reading comprehension.

Illini Softball Earns Crucial Sweep of Iowa, 8-2 and 6-2
May 4, 2011
Game One Box Score | Game One Box Score
IOWA CITY, Iowa. - The Illinois Softball team used a balanced offense and complete game pitching performances from Jackie Guy and Pepper Gay to leave the University of Iowa with a doubleheader sweep of the Hawkeyes, 8-2 and 6-2. Danielle Zymkowitz finished the two-game slate with six hits in eight at bats (.750), driving in five runs and scoring four more. Guy and Gay finished with identical 2.00 ERAs on the day, allowing two runs each while throwing a combined 14 innings. With the victories, Illinois improves to 24-20 overall and 11-7 in the Big Ten, further solidifying their hold on the third spot in conference standings.
"We put together one of, if not, our best doubleheader of the year," Illinois head coach Terri Sullivan said. "We had two complete games from our pitching staff and they pitched strong all day. Jackie [Guy] and Pepper [Gay] threw aggressively and stayed focused on each pitch, possibly the best pitch-by-pitch performances we have had this season. Our defense was solid, the outfielders were running aggressively and getting good reads on fly balls, while the infield made the routine plays they needed to. Offensively, we came out and jumped on each of Iowa's pitchers and that was good to see as well."
Game One: Illinois 8, Iowa 2
"She is being a terrific lead," said Sullivan of Zymkowitz's performance this season. "She is such a competitor and really is stepping up for the team. Danielle is leading them and they feed off of her performances. She does something every game that catches the eyes of softball fans and excites the crowd. Today it was the inside-the-park home run. "
Zymkowitz led off the contest with a single to third base before Hollie Pinchback moved Zymkowitz into scoring position with a walk. Meredith Hackett reached on a fielder's choice, with Pinchback retired at second and Zymkowitz moving to third, to put runners on the corners and one out. Nikki Simpson pinch ran for Hackett at first base and improved to 9-for-9 on stolen bases attempts to put both runners into scoring position for Jessica Davis. Davis immediately followed with a single to center field, scoring both runners for a first inning lead, 2-0.
In the second frame, Illinois plated another run to extend its advantage to 3-0. Audrey Gallien walked for the fifth time in her last three contests before moving to second on an Ashley Conrad sacrifice bunt. After Laura Tarnawa substituted into the game as a pinch runner at second for Gallien, Zymkowitz doubled to left-center field to earn her 19th RBI on the season.
The Orange and Blue padded the lead with three more runs in the top of the fourth frame to open a commanding six run advantage. Conrad reached on an infield single with one out before Zymkowitz singled to left field, with Conrad advancing to third and Zymkowitz to second on the throw back into the infield. Pinchback singled down the right field line as the next batter, scoring both runners to extend the lead to five. Hackett reached on another fielder's choice before Davis drilled an RBI-double to right-center field, putting Illinois ahead, 6-0.
The Hawkeyes recorded their first hit of the contest with two outs in the fourth inning when Johnnie Dowling homered to left field and scored one more run in the fifth on an Ashley Akers RBI-double.
In the sixth frame, Zymkowitz led off with a walk before promptly stealing her 19th base of the season, putting her alone in first place in program history for career stolen bases with 88. Rachelle Coriddi held the previous Illinois-best with 87 during her four year with the Orange and Blue.
The Illini reach the final score, 8-2, when Zymkowitz hit her first homer of the season after Vivi Castellanos reached base with her first collegiate hit - a single up the middle.
"Vivi [Castellanos] definitely earned her first start as the designated player for the second game," Sullivan said. "She is a coachable kid that has waited patiently for this opportunity and she made something of it. I was impressed with her single and with her composure at the plate. She didn't swing for fences and drew two walks as a result. She earned the chance and made the most of the opportunity."
Guy pitched a complete game for the Illini, holding Iowa to two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three to earn her seventh win of the season.
Game Two: Illinois 6, Iowa, 2
Iowa tallied the first run of the contest, with Liz Watkins drawing a bases-loaded walk to break the scoreless tie. Gay bounced back immediately, with a strikeout of Michelle Zoeller looking on three pitches to end the threat.
The Orange and Blue offense continued to connect against Iowa's pitching staff, earning four runs in the second inning to stake Gay to a 4-1 lead. Stephanie Cuevas tied the contest with an RBI-single to center field and Zymkowitz followed two batters later with a two-run single to earn a 3-1 advantage. Illinois scored the final run on a wild pitch by Chelsea Lyon, with Conrad racing home from third base to plate the fourth Illini run.
Iowa cut into the deficit in the third, with Katie Keim hitting a solo home run to left field to decrease the Illini lead to 4-2.
The Illini responded immediately, plating two more runs in the top of the fourth. With two outs, Zymkowitz singled to shortstop and Pinchback reached on a fielding error, while Zymkowitz advanced to third and Pinchback to second on the play. The error proved costly as Davis followed with a full-count, two-run double to center field reach the final score, 6-2.
Up Next: Illinois will host DePaul (35-11, 17-1 BIG EAST) for one contest on Eichelberger Field on Thursday, May 5 at 4 p.m. before hosting Western Illinois (19-23, 14-10 Summit) on Saturday, May 7 for World's Largest Softball Tailgate as well as Senior Day. First pitch for game one of Saturday's doubleheader will be at 1:00 p.m. CT while game two is set to start approximately 20 minutes after the completion of the initial match up.

The Anne Arundel County Board of Education decided yesterday to review a local policy that gives the superintendent authority to grant certain contracts, regardless of size, without consulting the board.
This week, board member Michael McNelly questioned the school system's granting of a $395,000 contract to the Florida-based National Institute for School and Workplace Safety for a safety assessment of the county's 117 schools.

The September National Cancer Institute (NCI) Research to Reality cyber-seminar will explore the major provisions of the ACA and Medicaid changes and their implications for cancer control. We will also examine how cancer control coalitions and organizations are addressing these changes. Carter Steger from the American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network will join us to share an overview of the ACA implementation and the changes to Medicaid and the specific impacts on cancer control.
Dr. Jennifer Redmond from the University of Kentucky will then share an example of how her state coalition has been working with multiple government offices and organizations to implement ACA and its impact on screening and prevention. She will share her perspective on the progress made and the lessons learned in Kentucky as well as those of her colleagues in other states.
Ms. Steger and Dr. Redmond will share their perspectives on the impact of the ACA and how state and local coalitions can align the priorities and efforts to seize the opportunities and address the issues that stem from the ACA.
The final part of the webinar will be dedicated to Q&A and discussion and will offer an opportunity to engage with the presenters, and also to share your own experiences and thoughts.

If we are to debate the big cosmological questions such as, "Why do the physical constants happen to take values which allow life to exist?" (10 June, p 32), we must first ensure that the language we use is clear and precise and agreed by all participants. That means avoiding terms such as "multiple universes" for a start.
The Universe is, by definition, all-encompassing, unless someone has unilaterally altered this definition, which would seem pretty pointless since we would still need a word for the sum total of all the little "universes".
Chown appears to acknowledge this at one point, since he refers to these as "regions" instead. And earlier in the article, he slips into "the observable Universe", quoting a theory which uses this term to describe one of the "multiple universes" whose sibling universes may simply be a very long way away.
I am by no means ...

Thanks for the list. I'm looking forward to using them on my 3G iPhone in a few weeks.
Roundup: Apps Aplenty, Games Galore, & Loose Ends
Before we hit the sure-to-be-craziness of WWDC, TiPb has some definite house cleaning to do. Meaning lucky for you readers, more roundups! With Rene handling every roundup possible for the iPhone 3G and beyond I thought it'd be a great time to focus on the device we've all been unconsciously neglecting: the iPhone!
Every few weeks, I'll present you with a quick list of web apps, native apps, and games that should tie up any loose ends that we might have missed. Click on each link to learn more about the program and be sure to mention your experience in the comments or forums. Before we start, with the iPhone 3G just mere days away, make sure you participate in TiPb's Wait-A-Thon-Tastic and give yourself a chance to win a FREE iPhone 3G!
Read on for the Rest of the Software Roundup!
Web Apps
HyperOffice promises to make your iPhone a mobile business collaboration and productivity tool. With HyperOffice, you can share your data with associates and clients. Also, you can access your data in Outlook and even remain in sync. HyperOffice is an award winning software that makes things easier for iPhone business users.
Zoho is a web office suite that includes tools for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, databases, note-taking, wikis, etc. With the launch of 2.0, Zoho has completely revamped their web app, iZoho, for the iPhone. The new design introduces tabbed interface for easy navigation between Zoho Apps. I gave iZoho a twirl and couldn't manage to edit my documents as promised, viewing was a cinch though. However, the interface is slick and I remain hopeful that the customizability of Zoho can translate to the iPhone.
Mobispine is a free mobile news reader that offers easy categorization and over 250,000 global sources to comb through. It's a great way to streamline your daily blog visits and quicken the pace for how you read websites. The best thing is it's easily customizable!
This web app allows you to run single Dashboard widgets from the Widgetop catalog without loading Mobile Widgetop Desktop. Essentially, it puts the widgets on the homescreen of the iPhone which allows for easier access to the widgets.
A FPS that uses the accelerometer and multi-touch for controls is planned to be released very soon. There is a video of gameplay footage and graphic-wise it is pretty amazing. This is probably a first glimpse of many, many FPS to come to the iPhone.
For jailbroken iPhones this game has a basic premise but is executed beautifully. The graphics and animation are definitely exciting but the gameplay leaves a lot more to be desired. The whole idea behind the game is to "shoot the targets that pop up on the screen". As simple as it is, it's a great time killer when waiting for the next appointment.
An old favorite for the oldies. Temper4iPhone is an emulator of TurboGrafx-16 also known as PC Engine for the iPhone. Which basically means, you can play Bonk on the iPhone. Emulators are a sweet way to gain access to incredibly vast game libraries rich with history.
Native Apps
This Native App for jailbroken iPhones allows you to post new web logs to your LiveJournal account. With a simple interface, it serves as an extension of your LiveJournal page and could be extremely useful for anybody who wishes to blog-on-the-go. Since it's in the beginning stages of development there is still much more work that can be done.
Ever wanted a rotary dialer for your iPhone? It's trendy these days to use our advanced technology to recreate ancient technology, isn't it? It'll be available through the AppStore. Can't wait for a developer to create a telegram machine for the iPhone..
And that's it for this roundup! Hope you guys listened to Dieter on how to prep for WWDC. And be sure to be a part of TiPb's Live Color Commentary Blog!

Roundup: Apps Aplenty, Games Galore, & Loose Ends
With all eyes in the mobile world on Apple this week I thought the time was right to talk about what we believe is the best way to conduct a mobile web search on a device like the iPhone…a device with a rich, full screen, touchscreen only. Namely: Voice search. You say it, our speech recognition (running on a server) produces text, the text automatically dumps into the search engine that's the subscriber's choice (Google, AOL, MSN, etc.), the search engine returns results. Or via voice, search for any content from your local iTunes playlists.
Using the Apple developer kit, we've been hard at work developing impressive technology that make the iPhones capabilities even more powerful. Voice search. Song search and selection. At the touch of a button and simply by saying the word. Over the next few days – as the excitement mounts for the WWDC – we'll be sharing more and more details here on our blog. For now though, I think all of us should sit back, relax and enjoy the show.
Of course, we believe the most powerful use of speech would be running on the iPhone itself (vs a remote server) and made available to the developer community via iPhone's SDK APIs.

The Need-to-Know Guide about occupational pensions
Are pensions a concern for the older generations? Is it another deduction from your pay packet? Or is it a golden opportunity to secure your future.
The world of pensions can be an overwhelming and confusing affair to the eyes of the unknown. With so much emphasis on saving now, it can sometimes be impossible to think of saving for your future.
Whilst the current economic climate is somewhat unstable to say the least, the new NEST Pension Laws implementing the auto-enrolment of employers and their employee's onto singular workplace pensions aims to revitalise the way we save.
October's New National Employment Savings Trust (NEST) Pension Scheme
Whilst many may already have pension schemes in place, a resounding number of UK adults are still not contributing to their pension; fewer than one in three in fact! Which raises the question; why is this so?
The thick and thin of it can be traced down to the simple fact that many people are unsure about the purpose, function and benefits of pensions in both the short and long term. So what do you need to know?
What is a Pension?
In Lehman's terms, a pension is simply a 'pot' of money that you, your employer and the Government contribute to in order to secure your finances for the future.
There is no involvement from the taxman and it means that, come your retirement, you can draw money from your pension or gain annuity, a method of selling your savings to an insurance company for a regular income.
Why should I set up a pension?
The real selling point, apart from saving for the future, is the tax relief. Depending on your rate earnings, you will receive an automatic percentage back. You can claim an additional percentage depending on your rate earnings.
This percentage you receive back is worked out with the earnings on your contribution amount before the tax was deducted, in which you will receive the difference between your contribution and your pre-tax earnings.
Auto-Enrolment & workplace pensions…What is this all about?
As of October 2013, employers will be obliged to offer, employees access to an auto-enrolment NEST Pension scheme or workplace pension. This is a recent introduction by the government to ease the strain on State Pensions as well as making people aware of the importance of saving for their retirement.
This auto-enrolment scheme emphasises the need for employees to save and is aimed at providing a sole pension. This pension stays with you throughout your employment career even if you change job, become self-employed or stop working. Simple.
How much should I contribute into my pension?
How much you and your employer will contribute will depend on your annual income. 2% (of which 1% is from your employer) must be paid of your qualifying earnings (salary, overtime, bonuses etc) if you earn £5,564 or more, although these figures are annually reviewed.
Ideally, you should be contributing more than the minimum requirements in order to gain the benefits later on in life. The sooner you contribute, the longer your money has to grow. Whilst you are encouraged to put away more for the future, it is important to ensure your current financial security so make sure you find the right balance.
Are you still unsure?
With changing percentages, fluctuating rates and a variety of saving options, it can be difficult to understand just how to look after and gain the most from your hard-earned money. So, when pensions are concerned, make sure you approach an established and specialist financial advice firm such as Guardian Wealth Management and with their experience and expertise, you can begin to save for the future.
When it comes down to it, saving for your future really should be one of your top priorities. The introduction of these new pension schemes, along with the emphasis on making employers and employees aware of the importance of early pension planning, really is a step in the right direction as we look to repair our economy and ensure our futures.
For further information on NEST pensions please contact one of our financial planners or visit the NEST page on our website for further beneficial advice.

Knitting Mills Increase Production in DPRK
| Pyongyang, July 13 (KCNA) -- Knitting mills under the Knitting Industry Management Bureau in the DPRK over-fulfilled their plans for the first half of the year.
Officials, workers and technicians of the Pyongyang Hosiery Factory have operated all the modern production processes in full capacity to honor the daily production plan 110 percent. The plan was set higher than before.
Officials, workers and technicians of the Songyo Knitting Mill carried out its plan for the first half of the year 1.2 times by intensifying the massive technical innovation movement and socialist emulation drive.
The Kanggye Knitting Mill, Hamhung Knitting Mill, Pyongyang Children's Knitwear Factory, Aeguk Knitted Goods Factory and Kangso Knitting Mill also have made successes by making efforts to ensure high quality through well-organized production and management.

ACTIVE TIME: 1 hr
TOTAL TIME: 2 1/2 hr
Make sauce:
Roast bell pepper on rack of a gas burner over high heat, turning with tongs, until skin is blackened, 12 to 15 minutes. (Or broil pepper on a broiler pan about 5 inches from heat, turning occasionally, about 15 minutes.)
Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly, then let stand 20 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel pepper, discarding stem and seeds, and coarsely chop. Purée pepper in a blender with dressing, garlic, paprika, and salt until smooth, then transfer to a bowl and chill, covered, until ready to serve.
Grill onions:
Peel onions and trim root ends slightly, leaving onions whole, then halve lengthwise and cut halves lengthwise into 1/2-inch-thick wedges. Insert 1 wooden pick through each wedge to hold layers together while grilling, then put onions in a bowl.
Heat vinegar, sugar, and salt in a small nonreactive heavy saucepan over moderate heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Pour pickling liquid over onions, stirring occasionally to coat with liquid, and let stand 5 minutes (onions will brighten in color), then drain onions and pat dry.
Prepare grill for cooking. If using a charcoal grill, open vents on bottom of grill, then light charcoal. Charcoal fire is medium-hot when you can hold your hand 5 inches above rack for 3 to 4 seconds. If using a gas grill, preheat burners on high, covered, 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderate. Grill onions on a lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once, until tender, about 5 minutes total. Remove and discard wooden picks.
Grill burgers:
Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of burgers, then grill burgers on lightly oiled grill rack, covered only if using a gas grill, turning over once with a spatula, 5 to 6 minutes total for medium-rare. Meanwhile, grill English muffins, turning over once with tongs, until toasted, about 3 minutes total. Serve burgers on muffins topped with sauce and onions.
Cooks' note: If you aren't able to grill outdoors, you can use a hot well-seasoned ridged grill pan. Grill onions first, then burgers, then muffins, all over moderately high heat. (Burgers may take 1 minute longer than if cooked outdoors.) Lower heat during cooking as necessary. *Available at specialty foods shops and Tienda.com. **Available at Whole Foods stores.
