Homebuyers are cheering, but what about savers?
Interest rates down to 3.75% and at their lowest for almost 50 years - so there's the expectation that mortgages will cost less too. But of course what applies to home loans applies to savings too – and savers are far from happy anticipating even less interest on their money.
Not so long ago when interest rates were low the answer was to invest in the stock market. Equity based investments like unit trusts, investment trusts, Oeics (open ended investments companies) bonds and stocks and shares all offered the chance of a better return.
But that was before all the recent uncertainty in the economy. Investors have always been warned that the value of their stocks and shares could go up as well as down but for several years that warning seemed irrelevant. And then the markets fell. Those who didn't need to sell their holdings because they didn't need the cash are currently sitting on investments of vastly reduced value – waiting for the market to bounce back.
And it will and that's the best time to invest. But has that point has been reached? And in the meantime if you've got money and those bank and building society savings rates don't seem very attractive what do you do?
Take advice. Talk to at least three financial advisers. Ask how they charge. Tied advisers get commission from the companies they sell for. Independent advisers may be on commission or may charge a fee up front. You may feel happier with advice that you're paying for directly.
Think about how much risk you're prepared to take. Generally the more risk you take the higher the returns if your gamble pays off. But of course the higher the risk the more chance you may lose money in turbulent times.
Think about how long you can afford to have your money tied up for. Investments of this sort are long term because in most cases charges for administering and managing them come out of initial payments so it takes some time to make any return.
How much can you afford to invest and at what intervals? Are you looking for income or for capital growth?
What you invest in depends on all of the above. If you want to be sure the capital you invest will be safe you could go for bonds such as Guaranteed Income Bonds. They're issued by insurance companies and pay a fixed rate of interest for a fixed period and you're guaranteed your capital back at the end. The interest is paid minus income tax. The Newcastle's Capital Safe Bond is a 5 year fixed term account. The interest is linked to the performance of 4 stock markets around the world including the FTSE 100 and the Nikkei 225. The initial capital invested is guaranteed. The Guaranteed Property bond is a fixed term account linked to the housing market. If house prices keep rising your interest goes up. If prices fall your original capital is still guaranteed.
The most risky investments are shares in individual companies. If you put all your eggs in one basket you leave yourself open to the greatest risk. Spread the risk. Buy in several companies in different sectors so that if one company or sector does badly it may be balanced out by another doing better.
Investment and unit trusts and Oeics spread the risk. You put your money into a fund along with money from other investors. The fund is used to buy a spread of equities. Different funds offer a different mix of companies and sectors - some invest in property or in overseas markets. Because your money is part of a bigger pot the whole amount can be used to buy reasonable numbers of shares. The bigger and wider the spread the more the ups and downs of individual company market performances are smoothed out. The level of risk you're taking depends on which shares the funds hold.
Whatever you do has to be your own decision. That's why it's important to take a range of advice and don't invest in anything risky if you can't afford to lose.

Background/Aims: The hepatic expression of bile acid transporters is altered in experimental cholestasis and it is unclear whether regulation exists in human cholestatic diseases. We investigated the expression of genes involved in bile acid detoxification, basolateral export and nuclear factor regulation in untreated primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC).
Methods: Liver tissues were obtained from patients with early-stage and late-stage PBC. The hepatic expression levels of messenger RNAs were determined by the real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction.
Results: The hepatic expression of multidrug-resistance protein 4 messenger RNA was significantly upregulated in early-stage and late-stage PBC patients compared with controls. The hepatic expression of multidrug-resistance protein 2 and multidrug-resistance protein 3 messenger RNAs was significantly elevated only in early-stage PBC patients. The hepatic expression levels of farnesoid X receptor, fetoprotein transcription factor and constitutive androstane receptor mRNAs were correlated with those of multidrug-resistance protein 2, multidrug-resistance protein 3 and multidrug-resistance protein 4 respectively.
Conclusions: The hepatic expression of multidrug-resistance protein 4 was enhanced in patients with untreated PBC at all stages. However, the hepatic expression of multidrug-resistance protein 2 and multidrug-resistance protein 3 was enhanced only in early-stage patients. The lack of upregulation of these proteins might contribute to the progression of PBC.

'Mr Taylor, by cutting down to a minimum the ballast of dates and names that so often encumbers historical writing, and concentrating on the fundamental trends and events, has achieved both brevity and lucidity.' - The Observer
One of A.J.P. Taylor's best known books, 'The Course of German History' is a notoriously idiosyncratic work, written during the last days of the Second World War. Composed in his famously witty style, yet succinct to the point of sharpness, 'The Course of German History' is one of the great historian's finest, if more controversial, accomplishments. As Taylor himself noted, 'the history of the Germans is a history of extremes. It contains everything except moderation.' He could, of course, simply be referring to his own book. A.J.P. Taylor (1906-90). He was the author of numerous bestselling works, including 'Bismarck', 'English History 1914-1945', 'The Origins of the Second World War' and 'The War Lords'.See all Product Description

Less a dated book than a product of deeply-felt partisanship and bias against anything and everything German -- still shared by many fifty years after publication -- yet refreshingly illuminating in its bluntness, away from the pro-German bias of most scholars of things German (and of most for their chosen subjects), along realist, machiavellian lines assigning much to chance, on such topics as Martin Luther, the emergence of Prussia, the old Junker and officer class, Austria through the centuries, Germans generally, then and now: a pleasure page after page, and a must read on Germany, the Germans, and (debunked) history in general.
The real problem with this book is that it is a book of it's time. Taylor was a political historian who thought in events and dramatic narrative, which he wove splendidly, but this way of analysing history has not lasted. So when looking at the rise of demagogues like Hitler or the struggles of Junker and German middle class, it isn't enough to just view the higher political events but to dig in to the economic and social histories of the times. Where he broke with many of the older historians is that he rarely had time for "Great Men" but saw almost all political leaders as men making do with the events before them rather than shapers and planners, he always presents this in a cynically witty manner. It also shows why it isn't just a polemic to cash in the mood of post war western Europe, it suited everyone to treat Hitler as an evil mad men who duped the world in to a war and to quickly re-assimilate the Federal Republic. Seen in the context of "The Origins of The Second World War", where Taylor was merciless with all political leaders on both sides and at times scathing of the populations of all countries, the book is not a polemic against the German people.
A great read and a concise narrative of the period, however it is not a work you should ever base an essay on.
The first chapter sets the scene with a summary of German history from the time when Charlemagne founded the First Reich in the year 800 to the outbreak of the French revolution in 1789. This summary of nearly 1,000 years of German history in just twenty-four pages must stand alone as one of the greatest accomplishments in historical writing of any age. Taylor's lucid and evocative style may unsettle some readers, but it does stimulate the mind to ask questions, and sets the scene for the rest of the book. Of course, no one wishes to be described or labelled as a 'barbarian', even a 'barbarian of genius' (a clear reference to Frederick the Great of Prussia). But I rather suspect those who express concern at this language may not have learnt all the facts, or may not wish to, for whatever reason.
Of the following chapters, I would highly recommend the chapter on the failed German liberal revolution of 1848, which of course laid many of the seeds for the future troubles of Germany. The events of the German revolution are quite complicated, as the German Confederation at this time included such states as Austria and Bohemia, yet Taylor's lucid account and explanation of these events is excellent.Read more ›

Provincial police say the drugs were found Saturday morning inside a sedan pulled over in a traffic stop on Highway 401 near the Township of Leeds and Thousand Islands.
There's no word yet on charges against the 27-year-old man, who is due in court Sunday.

Teen provides comfort to cancer patients during treatment
Girl making blankets, sending messages to patients
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Kim Pedersen was in shock when she was delivered the scary news she had breast cancer in April.
"You're delivered frightening news, you never expect to have that news delivered to you," said Pedersen.
During this tough time, a special present was delivered to Pedersen from a girl she's never met.
It was a fleece blanket to be used during her chemotherapy treatments. Attached to the blanket was a personal message from 16-year-old Madison Ridley.
"It was a complete surprise and such a lovely surprise that someone at such a young age would want to do something comforting for someone else," said Pedersen.
The Bakersfield High School junior came up with Maddie's Messages- Blankets for Patients over the summer when she attended Hugh O'Brian's Youth Leadership Camp.
"I came up with this project because cancer has touched a part of my life, so I thought I would give comfort to other cancer patients," said Ridley.
Ridley's grandmother Karla Anderson is a breast cancer survivor. Madison saw her receive a blanket during her treatment and got the idea to do the same. To make the blanket delivery even more special she attaches a personal note to the blanket.
"It's important to make it personal because you connect with the patient when you give it to them," said Ridley. "It's not like tell me your story, it's I tell you my story."
Ridley, with the help of her grandmother has already made over 20 blankets she's delivered to family friends and local cancer centers. Ridley said her goal is to make 50 blankets.
If you'd like to help Ridley with her cause a GoFundMe account has been set up under Maddie's Messages- Blankets for Patients .

While visting Cartago, Costa Rica around the 6th of August I was visiting the Basilica de Nuestra Senora de los Angeles for the first time in my life. I was taking pictures by the image outside the church, where the water is running and I took several pictures. One of the pictures doubled or even triple imaged and I almost deleted it, but decided to see how bad it was when I noticed something in the photo. I decided to enlarge it on my camera and there is an image of a face and upper body that is not a duplicate of any image in the photo, when I enlarged it even further on my computer it is definately an image. I call her my little special gift from God.

What do we understand by brilliancy in chess? The author delves back into history to examine how this concept has developed, before presenting a dazzling array of brilliant games from the past few decades - the prize-winners as selected by grandmaster panels for each issue of Yugoslav 'Chess Informator' between 1968 and 1998.

A Year Inside the Chess World$26.95In this at times hilarious and tragic account, Gormally shares the inner workings of the chess world — a world riven with insecurities, strange social customs and petty rivalries, while casting his analytical eye even on topics as disparate as eccentric waiters, strange Amsterdam zoos and inspiring mountain passes.

How to Play Dynamic Chess$14.95Chess is fundamentally a dynamic game. Each move changes the situation and the possibilities for both sides. No piece is ever identically as valuable as any other, and their scope changes from move to move. The current generation of supergrandmasters plays unrelentingly dynamic chess, but a great deal of chess literature still deals with chess as if it were a predominantly static game. Much traditional chess teaching is based around rules of thumb that might work well 'on average' or in 'typical' situations, but these rules may not equip players for the specific and sometimes exceptional situations that they face in their games.

Improve Your Chess Now$19.95In an important and strikingly original self-improvement manual, Jonathan Tisdall draws upon many years of experience as both player and trainer to explain a new approach to chess thinking. His ideas will be especially welcomed by players frustrated with the mechanical and unnatural 'candidate moves' and 'tree of analysis' approach advocated by many previous texts. Tisdall's innovative ideas extend to the psychological aspects of chess, and in particular the defence of bad positions. The final sections of the book provide an armoury of mating patterns to be absorbed into the reader's subconscious. As proof of the effectiveness of his methods, in the course of writing this book, and by using the very techniques he recommends here, Tisdall made a quantum leap in playing strength and achieved his life-long ambition of gaining the prestigious grandmaster title.

The book itself is strong and sturdy with boarded pages that are impossible for him to damage at this age. He likes to turn the pages (if that's what one would call it!) and so board verses paper is much better for him at this age as he could easily tear the pages or give himself paper cuts.
Adorable and highly recommended
A side note: Amazon truly needs to improve their shipment packaging and protect their books like they used to. At least 90% of the children's books we have ordered have arrived damaged and had to be returned. The replacements have been damaged as well.

Should LeBron James take more shots?
LeBron jealous of Durant
LeBron James may be the NBA's reigning MVP and a two-time champion, but that doesn't mean he doesn't get jealous of other players. King James, who is averaging a career low 16.1 shot attempts per game this season, told ESPN.com's Tom Haberstroh that he sometimes gets jealous when he sees the number of shot attempts Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant has in a game. So we ask SportsNation, should LeBron shoot more? And is his dip in shot attempts a sign he's coasting through the regular season?

All Product Details
With the charm of a natural storyteller, Baraton weaves his own path as a gardener with the life of the Versailles grounds, and his role overseeing its team of eighty gardeners tending to 350,000 trees and thirty miles of walkways on 2,100 acres. He richly evokes this legendary place and the history it has witnessed but also its quieter side that he feels privileged to know. The same gardens that hosted the lavish lawn parties of Louis XIV and the momentous meeting between Marie Antoinette and the Cardinal de Rohan remain enchanted, private places where visitors try to get themselves locked in at night, lovers go looking for secluded hideaways, and elegant grandmothers secretly make cuttings to take back to their own gardens. A tremendous best seller in France, The Gardener of Versailles gives an unprecedentedly intimate view of one of the grandest places on earth.

The past few years have seen an unprecedented rise in the use of email for communication, collaboration, information management and several other tasks it was not explicitly designed to perform [9, 3]. The cognitive costs associated with the manual filing and pruning of information archives overwhelm many users [9]. Messages vary in relevance, importance, timeliness and attentional requirements. Several strands of research have examined how such properties of email can be computed and used to provide a better user experience [3]. Social network analysis has been used to help triage incoming email as well [4]. The time-sensitive aspects of email have been recognized [6], but research has focused on prospective task management rather than retrospective archive management.
We recognize the ephemerality of certain kinds of email received, and propose the use of an expiration date tag to indicate its lifetime. We hypothesize that the use of such a tag will assist personal information management (PIM) by providing users the ability to prune their email archives automatically, and take other actions as appropriate. We situate our proposal of expiration tags within the current PIM literature, focusing on the research problems they may help solve. We conclude with a discussion of how expiration tags can be set, retrieved, and acted upon by mail clients.
We conducted a quick and informal analysis of our inboxes and those of colleagues in our research group. We found an incredible variety in how long the information content within email messages found in the inboxes stays valid, useful, or pertinent. Here are some examples:
Personal information management, email, expiration dates, temporal information.
ACM Classification Keywords
H.5.2 Information Interfaces and Presentation: User interfaces – Evaluation/ methodology
IM-style 1:1 communication. (extremely short term) One-line (or even one-word) messages are often sent in lieu of a phone call: e.g. "Lunch? ", "Running late to meeting", "Movie tonight? ". Awareness notifications. (extremely short term) Several web-based services send notification alerts to users when certain monitoring criteria are met. User action may or may not be solicited or expected. E.g. "bill is due in 2 days", "X added you

as a friend", "your order was received", "your package has shipped", "free donuts in break room".
Project-related communication. (short term) Email related to an ongoing project will soon be outdated after the project is completed. E.g. "Draft 5 attached", "I booked my tickets for Monday". Discussions with archival value. (medium term) E.g. research ideas or conversations related to specific technical problems that may be required later. Although it may be unclear when this information may be needed, it is clearly important to archive it. Affective conversations. (long term) Conversations with significant others or immediate family may be saved for their nostalgic future value.
also serves an archival role. In PIM, the "keeping decision" [8] refers to the choice a user must make about whether a particular information item is worth keeping for potential later lookup. However, when an email is received, it is not immediately clear how long the message will continue to be useful. Post-Valued Recall (PVR) [10] refers to the interest a user may have in recalling information whose value is not recognized until some time after its initial retrieval. Since users cannot decide right away what to do with an email, they let it linger [11]. However, seldom do users go back to these messages to clean them up later. Immediate Filing is not very practical Email is managed in different ways by different people; Gwizdka suggests [7] that handling incoming information immediately is an ideal case, but it is not practical for several reasons. The cost of a search multiplied by the probability that a particular information may be searched for, is much less than the cost of constantly having to file, tag, and sort email. Filing is a cognitively difficult task; while some users are natural cleaners, others are keepers. The upshot is that email continues to stay in inboxes longer than necessary. There is another problem with immediate filing, as identified by Whittaker and Sidner [11]: once an email is filed away, it is less available to remind the user about that topic (less chance of opportunistic reminding). Life archives As the information haystack grows larger [2], it becomes harder to find the proverbial needle. It is important that non-essential irrelevant information be pruned from an archive as early as possible (though no such decision can ever be taken with 100% accuracy [8].)
The different types of emails shown in the previous listing have different implications for how users manage their email. Email clients fail to take into account the distinction among these types of messages, thus lending inadequate support to information management.
Relevant Prior Work
Files have temporal properties; Barreau and Nardi [1] classified files as ephemeral, working, or archived data. Gwizdka [5] proposed the classification of email into four types: prospective, ephemeral, working and retrospective. However, neither of these approaches have led to the development of solutions towards harnessing the time dimension to assist users in information management. The Keeping Problem and Post-Valued Recall in PIM Email is no longer just a communication medium; it
A Solution: Expiration Date Tags
An Expiration Date Tag is an email header that provides a best estimate of when an email message is projected to be irrelevant to the recipient. It serves as an indication of its time sensitivity — an attribute that is not captured by any existing headers. A complete description of the syntactic aspects of expiration date tags is beyond the scope of this paper. We refer you to a deeper discussion online 1. Applying an expiration date splits the task of filing emails into two independent subtasks: an expression of intentionality and the performance of the action. A user's intention to file an email can be expressed as soon as a message is received (which is ideal according to Gwizdka [7]). The filing and archiving itself, however, is done at a later time automatically (which avoids the problem of lack of opportunistic reminding noted by Whittaker [11]). In addition, support for expiration dates provides an opportunity for various entities (other than the primary recipient) to apply the tags automatically. Specifically, it supports the management of prospective information in email [6]. Setting Expiration Date Tags Expiration Dates can be set by several entities, not just the primary user. They could be set:
email based on common patterns seen across multiple users (like spam filters do); By the recipient's email client, based on heuristics; (say, if a pattern has been observed that emails with certain subject lines are deleted by the user in X days) By the recipient's email client, based on a userdefined rule set; ("from:firstname.lastname@example.com expire in 5 days")
Setting an Expiration Tag Sender Sender's Mail Client Mail Server Recipient's Mail Client Recipient
Or explicitly by the recipient in a spring cleaning session.
Actions taken on Expiration Tags Move to Archive Download only unexpired messages to mobile devices Restricting Queries Ignore expired messages after long vacations Enhanced filtering of mailing list content
The simplicity and flexibility of the tag means that any party involved in the transmission of the email can modify/update it. Security concerns about potential tampering by men-in-the-middle may be assuaged by knowing that this is no more vulnerable than the rest of the email. Acting Upon Expiration Date Tags An expired email need not (and should not) immediately be deleted if the user does not so desire. It is indicative, not prescriptive. Here are some ways we expect an expiration tag to assist in personal information management:
By the sender of an email who can make a reasonable assumption of the relevance of her email to the intended recipient; e.g. credit card payment reminders can be automatically set to expire 5 days after the due date. By the mail server software that intelligently tags
An email past its expiration date could be automatically moved from the Inbox to Archived items; Expiration tags can be used in complicated searches by restricting a query based on expiration dates (e.g. show all emails that are due to expire in
the next week);
Due to resource limitations of mobile devices, typically only the most recent few emails are downloaded and displayed. Incorporating expiration dates into the decision can cause more relevant messages to be shown, while expired messages stay hidden. Automatic pruning can be performed during spring cleaning sessions; this provides the user a quick option to delete expired messages permanently without having to deal with each individually. Expiration can greatly reduce the deluge of pending email after a vacation. Notices about free donuts and missed meetings can automatically be removed by the system. Attaching expiration dates to messages sent to distribution lists provides a new alternative to the four strategies outlined by Mackay in [9].

Future Work
We are building a prototype of a system that can read and write expiration tags. Tags will be applied in two ways: by an IMAP client process that polls and processes a user's inbox, and instrumented email clients (Apple Mail.app, Microsoft Outlook). We look forward to sharing preliminary results within a few months.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.
