"If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of a democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of the public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of the public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence. You will in due season find your property is less valueable, and your freedom less complete." ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Banking Without the ?Too Big to Fail? Doctrine
"?The main theme of my own research on U.S. banking history has been that central banking is detrimental both to sound money and safe banking. In particular I have found that the U.S. commercial banking industry has suffered a secular decline in financial strength in the 80 years since the Federal Reserve System was established in 1913.? (Oh, and by the way, the Fed is robbing you blind, too!) A FEE ?Timely Classic? by Richard M. Salsman, originally published in 1992."

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian state TV is quoting the country's new president as saying that the United States is seeking an excuse to confront Iran over its nuclear program.
The late Saturday report says the remarks by Hasan Rouhani came during his meeting with North Korean official Kim Yong Nam, who is Tehran for Rouhani's Sunday inauguration.
"We believe the United States and the Westerners are seeking an excuse to confront the countries that they do not consider friends," Rouhani was quoted as saying.
The West suspects Iran is pursuing nuclear weapon, a charge Iran denies.
Rouhani, elected in June, has promised greater openness over the country's nuclear program, which has placed it at odds with the West.
But the elected president is subordinate, particularly in foreign and security matters, to the clerical leadership.

Awelmarduk seized the lead in the final furlong and held on for a half-length victory over the German challenger Shrek for a huge upset in the $963,378 Derby Italiano Antonveneta ABN Amro (Ity-I) at Capannelle Sunday.
Sent off at 38-1, the Irish-bred son of Almutawakel is trained by Alduino and Guiseppe Botti and was ridden to victory by Guiseppe's son, Edmondo Botti. Rob's Love finished a neck back in third, with Sopran Promo fourth.
Awelmarduk was next to last on the opening straight of the 1 1/2-mile event, contested on good to firm going, before making headway on the outside with more than one-quarter of a mile to run. He hung right with more than a furlong left before heading Rob's Love and Shrek 100 yards out.
Zar Solitario, the 2-1 choice in the 14-horse field, led until approaching the final furlong under Frankie Dettori when Rob's Love took over. Zar Solitario faded to 10th. The winning time was 2:28.9.

What if Someone Doesn't Like My Cause: Bringing Out One's Unique Features
Linda Abraham
What if somebody doesn't like my cause? Or religion? Or hobby? Or nationality? Or height? I can't believe how many times clients have said to me, "But what if the adcom doesn't like _________ [fill-in-the-blank: tennis players, Iranians, Christians, Republicans, other]. I'll tell you something. I can guarantee that somebody somewhere won't like something that is important to you. Does that mean you shouldn't write about it? No. Except for criminal pursuits, your distinctive interests, special experiences, and background distinguish you from your competition. Those singular passions tell the admissions committees that you can contribute a unique perspective to your class. Leaving out those exceptional elements from your essay and application may mean that you don't trigger a mildly negative reaction in a few individuals who "don't like" whatever it is you are writing about. The omission will also ensure that your essay(s), personality, and individual viewpoint blur into the great, gray mass of blob-like applicants. Far more damaging. Completely counter-productive. Bring out your distinct values, causes, and motivations by discussing your initiatives and accomplishments in different arenas. I do, however, have one caveat: No soapboxes please. Don't preach to the adcoms. Liked this tip? The above tip and many, many more can be found in Submit a Stellar Application: 42 Terrific Tips to Help You Get Accepted.

Hyundai halts all exports out of South Korea
It's summertime, and that means swimming, road trips and union labor strikes that disrupt the flow of exports out of South Korea. The recent strikes at auto assembly plants in South Korea have caused Hyundai to suspend vehicle exports for the time being. No worries, though. Hyundai has built up a three-month stock of vehicles Hyundais and Kias already shipped overseas. That doesn't mean the strikes aren't taking their toll, though. So far, The Detroit News reports the strikes have cost Hyundai 78,616 vehicles in lost production, which is worth about $1.13 billion.

Today's 100-Minute Lunar Eclipse Will Be Presented by the Internet
Alert: There will be a massive lunar eclipse, today, the first in 2011! It will start at 2:20 Eastern time. However, you won't be able to actually see it in real life, unless you happen to live in the eastern portion of Africa, the Middle East, central Asia, or western Australia. North Americans have gotten screwed out this eclipse! Except, we happen to live in a time when the Internet knows no lunar eclipse bounds, and so, North Americans will be able to watch the lunar eclipse as long as they find themselves near a computer during some of the 100-minutes the eclipse will be eclipsing. Hooray for progress!
PC Mag gives a few ways to watch the eclipse, depending on your nerdliness/space fetishization level:
Slooh is hosting a live mission interface using Google App Engine, and it includes audio narrations from real-life astronomers, so you can hear a firsthand, expert account of the event.
You can watch the live stream on the Google YouTube Channel.
Or if you want to further explore the galaxy, you can view the eclipse from the sky layer in Google Earth after downloading a special plug-in.
Finally, you can get the free Slooh Space Camera Android app to view the images right on your phone.
Unless anyone happens to know someone in the eastern portion of Africa, the Middle East, central Asia, or western Australia, who would be willing to video-chat us while holding a laptop up to a window?
FYI: This will be a super-long eclipse, eclipsing the length of eclipses since July 2000! Total eclipse happens at 3:13 p.m. Eastern. For more about eclipses, check NASA's lunar eclipse page.

These darling ponies look so adorable in their coats of many colours! You've captured a wonderful expression of equine bliss on the face of the one rolling on it's back. I know many young horse lovers who would love to have this fabric featured on a quilt and cushions or made into a special tote bag.

Bulgarian Capital with Ambitious Overhaul Plan
In 2013, the Sofia City Hall plans a major rehabilitation of the capital's main boulevards and modernization of its public transportation.
Infrastructure works include new two-level intersections and road expansion and repairs.
The public transportation modernization will involve all types of transport – the subway, the buses, the trams, and the trolleys. The City Hall will purchase in 2013 ten new metro trains to serve its first line which is to reach the Sofia International Airport and the Business Park in the "Mladost 4" district.
Sofia also plans to purchase 20 new modern tram cars which will consume less energy and will have lower harmful emissions.

... or at least that's what Ford might want you to believe. This video of a Ford truck charging out of flood land is rumored to be the commercial you'll see in the Superbowl, but if that were true, I suspect Ford would have pulled it. On the other hand, a planned leak would be a nice way to generate some hype.
Implications - Interestingly enough, the car in the ad has its steering wheel on the right side -- a clue that suggests that this is not an American ad. And although no press release has been released yet, the ad's tagline of "Make every day exciting" is definitely eyebrow raising.

Finally you got it finished^^
Liked it even better than shinukoto!

18 Times Brent Rivera Stared Straight Into Your Soul
Friday, January 8, 2016 - 10:27
Get those cake candles and party poppers at the ready because this week marks hilarious internet person and all around dreamboat Brent Rivera's 18th birthday.
Seeing as it's such a momentous occasion, it seems only fair to celebrate with something deeply serious, so with that in mind we bring to you a collection of times Brent stared deep into your soul - and probably melted you from the inside out while he was at it.
1. The time he was being eaten by a shark yet still managed to make time for a nonchalant eye meet
2. The time he wore his heart on his sleeve/chest
3. When he didn't even let squishing the world's cutest dog distract him from your eyes
4. The time he looked even more serious than Edward Cullen did that time he googled 'vampire babies'
5. When he battled the forces of nature just to speak to you with his eyes
6. The time he probably had sand in his pants and still managed to look happy about it
7. The time he forced himself to stay awake just to capture this sleepy selfie
8. The time you needed wear eye protection so as not to be blinded by the glare of that perfect smile
9. The time he managed to tear his eyes away from Cody Simpson's sunshine filled face in order to look at you and only you
10. The time that being behind bars couldn't even keep him from finding your eyes
11. The time he did this magical side eye
12. The time he looked at you like this and you genuinely wondered if he is secretly Alex From Target
13. The time his entire being was on fleek
14. The time he was caught in a casual shirtless crouch, yet still managed to make time for your eyeballs
15. The time his tongue got involved in the staring
16. The time he did this look and his dog was not happy about him sharing it with you
17. When this smile healed pretty much every wound the world has ever had
18. And the time he still managed to stare straight into your soul despite the fact he wasnt even facing you
So yeah, that happened. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRENT, hope it's a goodie.

Customer Worthy: How and Why Everyone in Your Organization Must Think Like a Customerby Michael R. Hoffman
Your company's internal measurements might look fine but customer and contact flow may reflect disengaged and indifferent customers. The result is revenue decline and business
- LendMe LendMe™ Learn More
Recommended for chief information officers, chief operating officers, CMOs, marketing directors, brand managers, marketing operations managers, and customer experience managers.
Your company's internal measurements might look fine but customer and contact flow may reflect disengaged and indifferent customers. The result is revenue decline and business erosion.
Companies that cannot monitor contact data are continually surprised by revenue shortfall, inventory outages, cost overruns, and diminished customer satisfaction. Traditional financial measures lag too far behind customer activities to be effective for timely decision-making.
In this forward-thinking approach, Hoffman challenges companies to critique every business decision using one simple, inarguable criterion, "Is it Customer Worthy?"
Customer Worthy shows marketers how to leverage new and future technologies and explains "marketing" to technologists and other management disciplines.
Hoffman delves into "customer experience" as the most critical and under-used company asset. He shows how to thread persuasion and innovation through every customer contact across advertising, marketing, sales, operations and customer service.
In this groundbreaking book, Michael Hoffman explains how to use what he calls the CxC Matrix to craft each customer experience, contact by contact, to script the best business outcome. The CxC Matrix exposes untapped marketing opportunities resident in every company in every medium. Hoffman delivers a process to visualize, analyze, monetize and optimize every customer opportunity.

Reviewer: Warren Sellers Deakin University, Australia Rhizoanalysis. If this term is unfamiliar, don't resist it; it concerns an important and accessible concept. A common metaphor for analysis is that of a tree: a central stem, roots at one end, and branches at the other, and by tracing the branches and/or digging at the roots, the analyst gets to the heart of the matter. The tree metaphor has served modernist science for several centuries. However, postmodernist inquiries of analysis suggest that there are problems with seeing the wood for the forests. Alongside the development of increasingly complicated information/communication/knowledge regimes and technologies, specific understandings are being recognised as chaotically and complexly involved in ways that are resisting structural analysis. Poststructuralist interpretative metaphors are needed. Rhizome is such a metaphor, as its chaotic and complex form is poststructurally appropriate and generative. Rhizome is to a tree, as the Internet is to a letter. The chaotically complex networkings of stems interconnecting the upshoots of some grasses are rhizomes (Fig 1) – nodal networkings that echo the hyper-connectivity of the Internet (Fig 2) – whereas a tree, like a letter, is a relatively simple linear connection between two poles (Fig 3).

Warren Sellers: Review of Technology Culture, and Socioeconomics
In the context of knowledge/knowing discourse, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1987) explain that '[t]he rhizome is a map and not a tracing… The map is open and connectable in all of its dimensions; it is detachable, reversible, susceptible to constant modification… The map has to do with performance, whereas the tracing always involves alleged "competence"' (pp.12-13). And, Pat O'Riley (2003) writes that 'Deterritorializing the terrain of technology discourses in education is not a simple task… How is it possible to open technology discourses to different stories, the unsaid, the unthought, the ineffable?… Where might I begin to map an elsewhere and otherwise without relying on grids, isobars, fronts and lows?' (p. 17). After reading O'Riley, I pondered on how I could write about a book that disrupts the arboreal metaphor of writing and reading, towards writing~reading1, a text describing itself as 'a series of stutterings, a series of plateaux, of resonances and vibrations, oscillations, to encourage more complex, contingent, and indeterminate theories and practices' (p.19). Then another writing~reading stimulated me: Lixin Luo's (2003) 'Letter to my sister about Doll's 4R's'. The title of the paper contextualises its contents; it's an English translation of a 'letter', written in Chinese, to a sister explaining how personal experiences of William Doll's teachings about postmodern perspectives on curriculum have important implications for a niece's learning and teaching.
Luo's 'letter' (a fragment is reproduced above) generated, for me, a sense of the paradoxical interactivity of complex and simple – a notion referred to as 'complicity and simplexity' (Cohen and Stewart, 1994) – involved in personally transforming Doll's (1993) curriculum concepts from English into Chinese and back into English in ways that generatively expand understandings of the concepts. What I read with-in O'Riley is a similar, personal complex-simple recursive interactivity with concepts, for exploring otherness in technology. O'Riley and Luo understand the importance of generatively personal intercommunications, conversations for appreciating meanings in temporal spaces such as 'zones of proximal development' (Vygotsky, 1978), or, as Luo (2003) puts it 'the peaches you can pick by jumping' (p.3), and O'Riley writes 'I load up my canoe, take a long breath of the cool mountain air, and begin paddling to the next plateaux' (p. 158).

Warren Sellers: Review of Technology Culture, and Socioeconomics
Let me put O'Riley's writings into context with my own readings. This work embodies the considerations of Arnold Pacey's (1999) Meaning in Technology, the foresight of Marshal McLuhan's (1967) The Mechanical Bride: Folklore of Industrial Man and the critique of Neil Postman's (1993) Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology. However, this is a differently gendered voice conveying radically different notions about what Bruno Latour (2004) calls 'matters of concern'. For example, O'Riley cautions readers: 'This book is not an enclosed storytelling or an elaborate system of textual defense moving toward a gripping conclusion: rather it is a radical (actually rhizomatic) writing journey mixing and juxta-posing styles, genres, theories, and practices – always in a state of "becoming" (Deleuze & Guattari, 1987)' (p. 20). For me, this suggests picturing2 intertextuality.

The Netherlands. All rights reserved. Used by permission. www.mcescher.com
O'Riley's 'opening' paragraph (reproduced above right) conveys a critical sense of the paradoxical problematics, of gender, sex and technology that McLuhan's The Mechanical Bride alluded to, and that J. G Ballard's (1985) Crash fictionalised. I choose to illustrate my reading~writing of the epigraph and paragraph by superimposing M.C Escher's (1950) lithograph Order and chaos (Fig 4).
Transnational Curriculum Inquiry 3 (1) 2006 http://nitinat.library.ubc.ca/ojs/index.php/tci
Warren Sellers: Review of Technology Culture, and Socioeconomics
And, to put you in touch with the continuum of O'Riley's intertextuality, here's her 'penultimate' paragraph:
In this, I say-hear resonancing of a notion that Noel Gough and I are calling postlogographic.3 Postlogographic concerns ways for exploring conceiving ideas beyond the conventions of structuralist signs. That is, for example, reading the text reproduced above as picturing words for thinking generatively towards other ideas, in a manner resonating with poetry – similar to a notion that Max van Manen referred to as 'poetizing activity', interpreted as an aesthetic rendering of experience (quoted in Pinar et al, 1995, p. 406). A helpful hint is to regard the 'Preamble' in the context of making a 'toolbox' – with all the manual mechanical manoeuvres that demands – and contextualise the 'map' as you would experience a landscape – with the rigour, release, and relaxation that presents. Move beyond making the words a means to an end; explore the pages as paths for generative experiences, which I picture thus:
Figure 4. C(ura)&me
Transnational Curriculum Inquiry 3 (1) 2006 http://nitinat.library.ubc.ca/ojs/index.php/tci
Warren Sellers: Review of Technology Culture, and Socioeconomics
O'Riley's own 'poetizing activity' introduces the reader to 'coyote' and her/his aboriginal readings~writings conversations concerning 'trickster discourse'.
Lest O'Riley's work is beginning to seem too esoteric, I hasten to add that there is also much to satisfy a more pragmatic reader. The middle chapters – plateaux – discuss the siting of technology education, it's shifting shape, and the emergence of 'Virtual(ly) Ed Tech'. Although these exhibit a more teleological stance, they also turn the standpoints towards a critique of progressive, First World, technification of technology education – siting, an interruption of technology education's constructs – shapeshifting, and an exploring of spaces, places and peoples – virtual(ly). I'm thinking of the latter more as vertuality, and here is a mapping of my many turnings, journeying through-over-in O'Riley's plateaux:

But this picturing (Fig. 6), more and less, is my writing~reading for this review…
1 2
The expression writing~reading is used throughout to show that writing and reading are inextricably intertwined, hence the use of the tilde symbol, which indicates complementary alternation. This notion of 'picturing' for interpreting, which I discuss elsewhere (Sellers, 2003), also draws on W. J. T. Mitchell's (1995) Picture theory: Essays on verbal and visual representation. Bill Green (Charles Sturt University) used this expression in a presentation titled Space and Equity in Education held at Deakin University on 13 November 2003. He characterised 'post-logographic research' as 'moving beyond words and numbers' and 'new forms of visual research and spatial analysis'. Our use of the term is further elaborated in Gough and Sellers (2004).

It would be pretty surprising if Brexit led to Irish reunification. But given the retreat of the church there and the increasing liberality of the Irish Republic, and Northern Ireland's desire to remain within Europe, it seems at least conceivable in a way it hasn't ever been before. You never know.
Continuing with the below-the-presidential race theme, because sometimes you just need to not consider Donald Trump for a while, we recently saw some career-worst poll numbers for SCOTUS obstructor-in-chief Chuck Grassley. Doesn't necessarily mean he's going to lose this time, as the article argues. But you don't want to acquire the reputation of an obstinate partisan (let alone the most obstinate partisan) during a presidential election year in a blue state. This particular reach goal is getting increasingly within reach, as I've long thought it might be.
I try not to be unrealistically optimistic, but if Chuck Grassley comes anywhere close to losing this year, do you really think that less formidable 2010-wavers like Rob Portman and Pat Toomey can hang on?
Interesting. A few months ago the idea of Rubio losing a Florida Republican Senate primary would have seemed ridiculous, but he proved himself to be such a paper tiger running for president that it doesn't hardly seem crazy at all. I still tend to doubt it will happen, but given that he's sunk far beneath even my own low opinion of the man by pretending that the Orlando shooting was anything to him other than a convenient pivot point to get into the race he swore he wouldn't enter, I'll be rooting for it.
I find myself without much of a strong opinion on the issues. If I lived in the UK I figure I would vote Remain, but sometimes I read American writers with really strong opinions and I just don't see the urgency for us. In or out, life is pretty much going to go on for us as normal for us. What really strikes me is just how uninspiring the British political classes are–my distaste for David Cameron and George Osborne was I thought pretty strong, though Michael Gove and Boris Johnson have easily surpassed it. At this point the Leave people seem to simply be throwing out the names of countries (with the implication that they'd eventually join the EU and add to dreaded immigration totals), even though Turkey is unlikely to ever be a member of the EU and the math just doesn't work out for a new peasant underclass of Albanians to swamp Britain (the former has about 1/20 the population of the latter, and not all of those are going to leave home, and of those not all are going to go to Britain, etc.). Whatever. Remain probably will win, but not by enough to settle the issue forever.
How did Trump win the primaries? I've been working on a theory that he essentially did to the Republican Party what they've been doing to American society for the past two generations: divided and conquered it with polarization. He split off the Bush people, turned their latest office contestant into a despised joke and let Jeb! die off quietly. (The irony of the father's tolerance of racebaiting (via Ailes and Atwater) creating a new GOP in which the son could not find purchase is both rich and satisfying, as is his being alive to see it.) Then Trump split the religious right into Trump and Cruz camps and turned Cruz into a pariah among many of the voters he needed, undermining Cruz's integrity by calling out his aggressive tactics, making a mockery of any claim to moral leadership. He outsourced the work of taking down Rubio to Chris Christie, and then added Christie to his team. He basically ignored Kasich, which was the smart move there. So he won with 38%, likely the absolute maximum he could have gotten, but it was perfectly orchestrated so as to be enough. Karl Rove would toast him if he weren't too busy crying into his beer.
Which is what makes this so comical. The notion that Democrats are "choosing" Muslims over LGBT people by, I guess, not supporting Trump's immigration policies is a perfect example of why Trump's skill set worked so brilliantly in the primaries but does not scale up to the general election. A wedge issue is only successful if the larger group actually supports it, and the Muslim ban does not do well outside of Republican primary voters. Seems obvious to me that Trump's already used up his ammunition on Hillary and it did nothing, while the Democrats have just begun to hit Trump.
Given how poorly it's going for Trump, you have to figure the odds of a convention coup are rising, but that cure would probably be worse than the disease. The only way it ends less than catastrophically for them is if Trump takes himself out of the race, and the likelihood of that depends on how much of a team player you think Trump to be.
As I showered this morning, I came up with another bit of perhaps overly Pollyanna-ish logic. Considering that Trump is, in all likelihood, according to several respected commentators, going to be an epic catastrophe in a general election fight, Democrats on the downballot are going to have an even better chance of taking over the Senate, and, please jeebus, the House, and certainly some state-level offices.
Before I come up with my ultimate point, let's bear a few things in mind:
- The economy is much improved from 2008 so the panic surrounding people's lives collapsing is less omnipresent.
- Bernie has (a) stirred up a huge amount of energy for truly liberal ideas, (b) somehow taken at least some of the sting out of the term socialist, and (c) brought more attention to the perils of income inequality and our rigged system.
- Hillary has demonstrably shifted left on some issues in response to the Bernie phenomenon. (Let's leave aside the question of whether it's all for show.)
- The last eight years have seen a complete decimation of New Democrats in Congress, wiping out many in the squishy centrist center, and especially a good number of Chickenhawk-Lites.
- Republicans have gone so completely insane that drawing a contrast with Democratic candidates is going to be easier than ever before (even if some of them might not be as progressive as we'd like). (A timeless John Cole quote on Congressional "bipartisanship" is apt: "Imagine trying to negotiate an agreement on dinner plans with your date, and you suggest Italian and she states her preference would be a meal of tire rims and anthrax." Hard to split the difference on that one.)
With all that in mind, I think we'll be in very good shape if we take the Senate and/or House in November. The last time we had all of Congress and the Presidency, it was a pretty mixed bag, in large part because of the aforementioned New Democrats and Chickenhawk-lites. Way too many people were out there prostrating themselves at the grimy feet of Joe Lieberman. Couple that with the hard lessons learned by many Democrats through the long days of Republican
obstruction control of Congress, which has led to absolute and long-standing gridlock, and the realization that working with Republicans is mostly a fool's game, it's not crazy to think that we might get some real progressive reform out of a government led entirely by Democrats. Moreover, throw in the Supreme Court, and I get a bit giddy. What do you think?
