Report: UK banks are lending £3bn to social organisations

The Treasury wants to scrap the requirement that all payroll giving agencies must be charities, saying that opening up the marketplace to commercial players would drive down costs and promote innovation and investment.
The change is proposed in the government's long-awaited consultation on how to reform payroll giving, to make it easier to administer and drive up the amounts raised for charity through the scheme.
Published this morning, the document also suggests introducing standardised sign-up forms for all donors, employers and agencies; reducing the time it takes for a donation to reach a charity from 60 days to 30, and forcing agencies to be transparent to donors about the fees they charge to process donations.
And it recommends creating "exit packs" for donors that stop giving through the scheme, to help them continue their relationship with the charity.
However, it stops short of recommending that offering payroll giving should become mandatory for all employers. "It should instead be a choice for employers, taking into account the demands from their employees and the costs associated with enrolling in the system."
The government recognises though, that as one of the UK's largest employers, it has a responsibility to lead by example and promises to "follow best practice in the operation and take-up of payroll giving".
At present, just 2 per cent of employers offer payroll giving and 3 per cent of employees donate through the scheme. Donations are deducted from gross pay, meaning that a £1 donation to charity costs a basic-rate taxpayer 80p and a higher-rate taxpayer 60p.
Last year, £118m was given through payroll giving by 738,000 people.
There are currently 12 active payroll giving agencies (PGAs) operating in the market.
The consultation said it is "not clear that the requirement for PGAs to have charitable status is necessary", and pointed to the emergence over the last decade of new commercial outfits that have "changed the landscape of giving whilst safeguarding the interests of charities and donors".
It went on: "It is essential that the next decade of payroll giving is characterised by PGAs that embrace new technologies, to ensure that payroll giving is made as dynamic, appealing and as cost-effective as possible to donors, employers and charities. This is unlikely to occur under a single monopolistic provider.
"Opening up the supply of payroll giving services to new operators, including commercial operators, has the potential to drive down costs, result in technological change and innovation that leads to better services for donors, employers and ultimately charities."
In order to improve transparency, the government added: "We are minded to introduce a requirement for all PGAs, including charities, to tell donors and potential donors how much they charge to operate payroll giving including any costs to charities. This will ensure a level playing field between providers."
The document also touches on regulation of the market and invites views on whether any activities of PGAs might be suitable for self-regulation or statutory regulation. It also asks if HMRC, the current regulator, needs a broader range of powers to ensure compliance with the regulations. At present, the only penalty available is a complete removal of the agency's status.
Announcing the consultation, Economic Secretary to the Treasury, Sajid Javid MP (pictured), said payroll giving has "real untapped potential, not just for raising money for charity directly, but also for starting a giving culture among those that do not normally donate".
The deadline for submissions is 19 April 2013.

The consultation document is welcome but some of the facts are "behind the curve"
Competition is good and speeding up the process and transfer of funds is definitely desirable.
Payroll Giving in Action has been at the forefront of speeding up the flow and quality of data from the donor to the charity with online and mobile Payroll Giving. We are the only organisation to have a paperless system for fundraisers that also includes address validation at the point of sign up.
Payroll Giving has changed in the last few years.
In the introduction of the Consultation document it says "online and joined up solutions to digitise the process do not appear to be widely available" This is incorrect and we have worked with all the PGA's to digitise the process for donors, payroll departments and charities.
The main equation we should now overcome is:-
Encouraging employers to take up the scheme + encouraging employees to donate = donors and income for charities.
Peter Maple
Director for postgraduate fundraising courses

Interesting, having read the consultation document, it is clear that after all this time the Government (and perhaps some of the leading players) still don't get it.
Payroll giving works when applied in one of two ways.
Firstly when the the employer allows a canvass to happen (on behalf of and paid for by a syndicate of charities, but of course accepting any nominated charities). Cathy Sullivan and other agencies were doing this successfully in the 1990s and I understand Royal Mail sign ups were over 10% of the workforce.
Secondly, when the company champions the idea, the board and senior managers all sign up to the most tax efficient way of giving and employees are actively encouraged to follow suite with both specific, charity of the year, nominations and the ability to give to personal favourites.

I really enjoyed Metatropolis:Cascadia more than its predecessor. This audiobook completes Metatropolis and even enhances the first collection with more information and character development. There are great stories in this collection and the narration is top notch! Many characters from Metatropolis reappear in this collection, and their characters gain a little more development. The themes are also more varied than the previous book, dealing with religion, post-capitalism practices, singularity, etc. I recommend this audiobook and I think is a must buy for those that have read the first book.
Thank you for your feedback.

2)Didn't Nordish.com say that the Brunns were Upper Palaeolithic survivers?
3)Ironically, according to archealogy Southern Ireland(Munster and South Leinster) is the least Celtic of all Ireland.
4)I never said that the Brunns were dark and swarthy(for the second time)
5)Only the best informed people "know" that the Irish aren't Celts. The people from the "Irish are ******s" school just like to say it.
6)I never said that the Irish were ******s(this is the second time I've had to say this aswell)

Here have a look at this:
"a survey by A.E. Mourant and I. Morgan Watkin of the blood groups, anthropology and language in Wales and Western Countries. Mourant and Watkin found that the people of the peripheral north-western regions of Europe-Iceland, Scotland, Ireland and parts of Wales-showed A,B and O blood groups with a frequency alomst identical with the Sardinians, the Cretians and certain Berber tribes of North Africa. This does not prove that people are the same...the simularity could be due to the coincidental effects of inter-marrage and isolation."
Blood group O in most common in Ireland, Iceland, Basque Country, Scotland, Wales, North Africa, and parts of Scandinavia.
stick that in your pipe and smoke it you little wanker!

Re : Gaeilgeoir / moor
Its called a personal opinion rather like your one that the irish are ******s except as is shown on this thread i know who i am not related to whereas you are apparently related to the entire planet bloodgroup wise including north africa.
In the real world of pan white Aryan struggle for existence it is necessary that we each define what we are not rather than what we are.To take that to the extent of villagism as you have is absurd in the modern world.Gombeen parochialism is very quaint but white power it 'aint.
In my book if a person only had 1,000th of mud in them they are not white Aryan but something else.Darwin's most important point was that selction of the species was NATURAL.
That is that humans like all mammals fundementally selected mating partners Naturally.Regardless of anti white propaganda,social conditions etc white will find white.
After all if someone is so feeble minded to accept zog propaganda are they really useful to the white Aryan Race ? They are not feeble mindedness is a much greater threat to white Aryan existence as alien settlement in our ancient homeland.

"Could it be that the people of Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow...are just more English?"
How dare you insult the people of Loch Garman by suggesting we are more English?
Most settlers in Wexford since the Norman invasion 1169AD have in fact been Norman French, Frankish, Bretons, Flemish,(probably the largest porportion by surnames due to textile trade) Welsh and later Scottish planters in the 1600's. Gaelic or Gaelic /Norse ie: pre Norman surnames are still a third of the population in Wexford. People of English extraction are very rare. If you are looking for "English"surnames look somewhere else!
Of course the area was settled for nearly 400 years by Ostmen/Norse mainly from Norway from 800AD onwards.
In Celtic time the main settlements were from North German coast Leiglin tribe circa 150BC(where the province name of Leinster comes from) and earlier tribes from Gaul after 500BC onwards(Leinster(Leglin in Gaelic) was known as Galia during this period)
The Milesians settled in SE Ireland 1200BC of course it has been claimed that they are a legend. However most local historians believe they did settle this area between the River Barrow & Slaney and local tourist guides always mention this fact as history.
Before this we are into "Book of Invasions" or the Book of Leinster" legend or fact? , probably a bit of both.
If the sacrifice of 30,000 lifes for Irish freedom (and many years of resistance before & afterwards )in a couple of months in 1798 does not make Wexford (& Wicklow and Carlow as well)sufficiently "Irish" what does?
Show me another part of Ireland that has made the same contribution towards the redemption of the Irish nation?

Tribes of Galway
Looks like Gaeilgeoir is not of the same bloodline of his fellow kin folk in Galway judging by this account of the county's history?
Looks like they collaborated with the English crown as well! So much for the earlier claim by Gaeilgeoir "Could it be that the people of Wexford, Wicklow, Carlow...are just more English?"
The next time a Munster or Connaught native accuses us Wexfordians of "being English" perhaps I should refer them to the following article?
The Tribes of Galway
The story of the Tribes begins in earnest with the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland during the late 12th century. Among the invaders were those of the powerful de-Burgo family. The de-Burgos took a keen interest in the province of Connaught (Connacht), and with the consent of Henry II of England they wrestled the land from the natives. On the wings of the de-Burgos claim, many families of Norman descent swept into the area. In a short time, fourteen of these families distinguished themselves as merchants. As recorded in Hardimans History of Galway, those families bore the following surnames: Athy, Blake, Bodkin, Browne, DArcy, Deane, Ffont, Ffrench, Joyes, Kirwan, Lynch, Martin, Morris and Skerrett.
Profiting from one of the best seaports in Western Europe, the families accumulated such immense wealth and fame that they claimed complete control over civic affairs. In 1484, Richard III granted the families a charter to rule without the interference of the de-Burgos, who were prone to frequent revolts against the crown. The treaty also gave the families control over the ecclesiastic affairs of the city. Thus, the merchants had supreme and unfaltering control of Galway for nearly the next two hundred years.
The Tribes were a highly distinctive group. They thought of themselves as English nobility and were intensely loyal to the crown. This would later prove problematic because of their allegiance to the Catholic Church! Furthermore, their claims to nobility led them into utter exclusivity, and they refused to marry outside of their tight-knit group. Despite their closely woven and independent nature, visitors were often in awe of the remarkable character of Galways inhabitants. As recounted in Hardimans History, visitors described the Galwegians to be kind to strangers, hospitable and of a great public spirit this, in addition to their uncommonly refined manner of living.
Partly because of their genuine loyalty to the crown, and partly due to Englands distraction with the Wars of the Roses, Galway experienced many years of near autonomy recalling the splendour of the ancient Greek city-states. Flourishing trade with Spain and the West Indies resulted in Galway being recognised as one of the finest cities in the West. Indeed, it is said that a traveler, in the time of Galways finest hour, once asked a native where in Galway Ireland might preside! Nevertheless, all ages must pass, and the rise and fall of the Stuarts in England would signal Galways fall from grace.
Because of their royalist tendencies, the Tribes of Galway opposed the removal of Charles I from the throne. The Tribes proclivity to take the opposing side in these matters eventually led to Cromwell taking the city. Caught in a difficult situation, the merchant families would neither defend the city from Cromwell, nor would they join the onslaught, this led to Cromwells forces famously assigning them the derogatory name 'Tribes of Galway', which was later adopted by the merchants in defiance. After the citys fall the merchants were deprived of their property and their right to govern. With the Restoration they briefly regained hope of retrieving their lost glory, only to meet a sour disappointment with William and Mary ascending the throne shortly after.

Re: bloodgroups
2)If you want to believe that my theory is "The Irish are ******s" well then enjoy yourself.
3)Dr. Mackey(who spent years in North Africa studying Berbers) said "that the facial type of the Berbers was said to resemble the 'black celt of Scotland' unmixed with Scandinavian stock." ie. The Berbers are white NOT black.
4)I know what I am. I am human, I am a caucasian, I am a decendant of the Palaeolithic Hunter Gatherers that came to Ireland around 8,000BCE.
5)Why do you think I'm not white? (or totally white?)
6)You can teach someone anything but brains I suppose.

2)You article only mentions Galway City.
3)It doesn't mention the Claddagh or New Castle or Shantallow or Ballybaan or Renmore or any of the Irish suburbs.
4)What is your point?

Richard Long, Artist and Helen Pheby, Curator
20 Oct
6 pm, Wills Memorial Building, Queen's Road, Bristol, BS8 1RJ
An opportunity to see the Bristol-based, Turner Prize winning artist in conversation with Dr Helen Pheby, Curator of Sculpture at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park.
Richard Long has been in the vanguard of Conceptual, Minimal and Land art in Britain since he created A Line Made by Walking in 1967, while still a student. A photograph of the path left by his feet in the grass, a fixed line of movement, established a precedent that art could be a journey. Through this medium of walking, time, space and distance became new subjects for his art. From that time he expanded his walks to wilderness regions all over the world. He mediates his experience of these places, from mountains through to deserts, shorelines, grasslands, rivers and snowscapes, according to archetypal geometric marks and shapes, made by his footsteps alone or gathered from the materials of the place. These walks and temporary works, where measurements of time and distance, place names and phenomena are vocabulary for both original ideas and powerful, condensed narratives.
Richard Long was born in Bristol, UK in 1945, where he continues to live and work. He studied at West of England College of Art, Bristol (1962-65), then St Martin's School of Art, London (1966-68). In 1969, Long was included in a seminal exhibition of Minimalist and Conceptual works entitled, When Attitude Becomes Form, at the Kunsthalle, Bern, for which he made A Walk in the Alps that was documented by this first text work. After 1969, Long began making journeys and sculptures in wilderness places all around the world, documenting his walks with photographs, maps and text works. In the 1980s Long began making new types of mud works using handprint applied directly to the wall. He also continued to make large sculptures of lines and circles from slate, driftwood, footprints or stone often sourced from quarries near the exhibition sites.

Ever since Roger Fry's two famous Post-Impressionist exhibitions of 1910 and 1912, wave after wave of foreign influence washed over English art, determining the thrust and purpose of the avant-garde. By the 1930s, the received view amongst progressive intellectuals was that the best art, that which was ideologically the most sound, came from continental Europe. But in the late 1930s a shift of attention occurred. Certain artists and writers stood back from the imperatives of International Modernism in order to let in history, memory, a sense of belonging and of place. Suddenly a prevailing Francophilia found itself countered by a revival of interest in Englishness and English traditions. In 1936, W.H. Auden publishes 'Look, Stranger!' and in its eponymous poem commands those who had become estranged from their surroundings to 'Stand stable here/And silent be'.
Frances Spalding is an art historian, critic and biographer, with a specialist interest in twentieth-century British art. She has published some 15 books, including a centenary history of the Tate. Between 2007 and 2015 she was Professor of Art History at Newcastle University. She left in August of this year, to take up the editorship of the Burlington Magazine.

Eleventh-century Chinese court painter Guo Xi divided landscape paintings into four types: paintings through which you can travel or do sightseeing and paintings where you can wander or live. This lecture explores the paintings created during the Song dynasty (960-1279) for wandering and dwelling, particularly in the format of handscroll which allowed the viewer to resort to woyou, literally meaning 'travelling while lying down'. In addition, it discusses how ideas from landscape poetry and painting were translated into three dimensional form in Chinese garden art of the Ming dynasty (1368-1644). Landscape representations, whether in poetry, painting or garden art, created auspicious environments for the mind to roam and rest in times of stress, illness or political instability.
Minna Törmä lectures on Chinese and East Asian art in History of Art at the University of Glasgow. Her major focus areas are Chinese painting in imperial times and history of collecting East Asian art. Her books include monographs Landscape Experience as Visual Narrative: Northern Song Dynasty Landscape Handscrolls in the Li Cheng - Yan Wengui Tradition (2002) and Enchanted by Lohans: Osvald Sirèn's Journey into Chinese Art (2013); in addition, she has published widely essays on landscape art and historiography of East Asian art studies.

Ingrid Pollard, artist and photographer
10 Nov
6 pm, Wills Memorial Building, Queen's Road, Bristol, BS8 1RJ
Ingrid will present a series of photoworks that will seek to shape ideas of English landscape, history and how belonging is expressed. Using photography as a tool is a way to reinterpret the basic elements of energy=light, physics=chemistry and perspective=vision, adding control and manipulation of data. Her photoworks suggest the characteristics of the land itself, shaped by its energy, the elements, the sun and light. Whilst these photographic images do not so much reveal what is there, but record light itself.
She focuses on the issues of observation and the rendering of light and how this intersects with the issue of landscape; ownership; history; transformation and ideas of Britishness and belonging. Photography can hold a deeper kind of observation, a continuous process which involves the use of languages, of signs and images which stand for or represent things, this is not a simple or straightforward process.
Ingrid Pollard's images are invested with a sense of belonging and are an act of belonging; be that through cultural, hereditary, practice, experience or through a landscape. Photography has played an important role in her work since the early 1980s, documenting black people's creativity and presence in Britain. Pollard became known for her photographic series questioning social constructs such as Britishness and racial difference.
Ingrid studied Film and Video at the London College of Printing and gained an MA in Photographic Studies at the University of Derby. Ingrid will soon be undertaking a PhD at Westminster University. She has exhibited widely in Europe and America, including Tate Britain, The Victoria and Albert Museum (London); NGBK (Berlin); Caribbean Cultural Centre (New York) and Camerawork (San Francisco).

Professor Stephen Daniels, FBA, University of Nottingham

6 pm, The Priory Road Complex, Priory Road, Bristol, BS8 1TU
The recent purchase by Tate Britain of Constable's great painting, 'Salisbury Cathedral from the Meadows' (1831) provides an opportunity to look anew at Constable's landscape art. To what extent was Constable an urban as well as rural artist? How were his views of the natural world shaped by towns and cities as well as the countryside, including the urban culture of science as well as the rural culture of farming? This lecture explores Constables art of London, Hampstead, Brighton and Salisbury as well as his more familiar scenes of his native landscape of Suffolk.
Stephen Daniels is Professor of Cultural Geography at the University of Nottingham. He is the author of many books, articles and exhibition catalogues on the landscape arts in Britain, particularly of 18th and 19th century England. His works include Humphry Repton: Landscape Gardening and the Geography of Georgian England (Yale UP 1999), Joseph Wright (Tate 1999) and, with John Bonehill, Paul Sandby, Picturing Britain (Royal Academy 2005). He is currently writing a book on the topographer and antiquarian John Britton. He was elected to a Fellowship of the British Academy in 2010.
Dr Lucy Donkin, University of Bristol
24 Nov
6 pm, Wills Memorial Building, Queen's Road, Bristol, BS8 1RJ
Whether stones from the Holy Land encased in jewelled reliquaries or geological specimens arranged in miniature landscapes and cabinets of curiosity, un-worked rocks have long been incorporated into works of art. The imagination has also found in nature images to rival those of human craftsmanship, and even interpreted antiquities as deriving from natural processes. Not only have patterned stones been seen to contain imprints of holy figures and skylines of ruined cities, but fossils and engraved gems were understood to be generated within the rock. The lecture will explore these encounters between the creativity of the artist and that of the natural world with reference to cultures of collecting and the relationship between art, religion, and natural history in the Middle Ages and Early Modernity.
Lucy Donkin lectures in History and History of Art at the University of Bristol. Her research is concerned with perceptions of place during the Middle Ages, with particular reference to Italy and the Mediterranean. Her published work so far has focused on sacred space, especially the creation, use and decoration of holy ground, and includes the co-edited volume Imagining Jerusalem in the Medieval West (2012). She is currently working on a new research project on the portability of place, exploring the spiritual and political connotations of moving earth to and from Rome.

According to recent statistics from the United States Department of Labor, each day Americans spend on average:
- 528 minutes working
- 507 minutes sleeping
- 160 minutes watching TV
- 26 minutes on Facebook
- 18 minutes exercising
- 0.2 minutes showing affection
Life is too short to spend even a single day without a little bit of good lovin!
Yet, we race through life and go entire days, weeks, even months missing a deep connection with another human being.
I am not talking about the occasional "I love you" to your spouse or kids as you race out the door.
I mean deep, authentic, real love.
And there is no better way to say I Love You…than with a One Minute Hug.
Yes it's awkward and it lingers a bit…but for cryin' out loud, do you not have one minute each day to dedicate to another human being?
In fact, I believe so strongly in the power of the One Minute Hug that I hit the streets and tested it out on the moodiest people in the world…New Yorkers.
Intrigued? Check out Episode 2 of my new show YEAH DAVE on uLive!

You're lying again.<quoted text>
It does put me in danger of a heart attack from laughing my behind off and the way people twist and turn trying to find any thread to hang onto to try and stop same sex marriage.
You have the trophy so far though, calling people a hypocrite for not actively supporting something you claim to support, although you dont actively support it either and act exactly the same as those you call a hypocrite
It is hilarious how you have to tie yourself in a pretzel trying to get someone... anyone to change their views, and you fail miserably
Personally I dont need anyone to change their views, I already have the majority of Americans on our side.
Try and relax. This is a discussion forum. You are not discussing, you are dictating, accusing and lying.

Trans MP Anna Grodzka says homophobia and transphobia means people are leaving Poland
Post your comment

Another backward country that should be booted out of the EU. I hope more LGBT people are able to get out of that hell hole of a country where the Catholic church holds sway.
Backward? Anything but. Poland was the first European country to have a transsexual MP. You want to boot out Poland? Think of us – gay people of Poland first. Polish society was fucked up because the UK first facilitated Hitler to surround Poland, then betrayed it by the phoney war, and the USA sold it to communism in Jalta. And now some ingenuine People say about the Poland which was a consequence of the past, to boot Poland out of the EU? Whaaat?
If something is to be done, the UK should carry on the efforts to reintegrate Poland to the rest of Poland's roots in Western Europe, rather than Central Europe, and act to help gay community in Poland to strengthen. No more escapes, Britain!
thank you!

well, mr kensington does not sound like a very tolerant person. by the way, the title is misleading, people leave because they want better paid jobs not because they want to change gender. another thing is, how can you be elected to be in parliament and still claim that those who elected you are ignorant? it does not make sense to me…
Just a correction, she isn't Europe's first transgender MP, that honour goes to Vladimir Luxuria from Italy. Anna is, however, Europe's first transsexual MP.
I live in Poland. I work in Poland. I am a foreigner in Poland but I teach Polish children to speak English and help them and their families to understand about the LGBT Community. The Lord God has given me many students as people here open their doors to learn and understand about the world that they are part of and that has been denied them for so many years under the Communist system. It is a standard policy of mine to tell all students and in pRticular new students that I am Gay. I have had some students reject me and I hold no grudge or animosity against them. I only feel sorry for them and their families because they continue to live in the past. The intelligent and enlightened students and their families who accept the fact that I am Gay are happy people with a bright future. Homophobia does exist in Poland and many thousands of members of the LGBT Community have left the country. Homophobia and Gay hate is taught in many Polish schools and by the RCC and this has to stop…….
my son lived in poland for several years, can't relate to any of it. this comment is strange, people leave because they look for jobs not because they're gays, of course gays will use this excuse rather than say that they can't find job, it sound better if you add some drama to it. play victim it may help you get a job in UK, right? under communism there was no discrimination toward gays, still isn't , its in gay people's heads. nobody says anything to them unless you provoke , some "happenings" are to provoke and of course you'll find people to react, but that is everywhere even in san francisco. nobody teaches anything about gays in schools in poland, this is crazy, please give one school's name? we'll check. gay subject is not in curriculum, its a way of life , gays are not objects to be described in textbooks, sir…
…..Poland is not a bad place and the Polish people that I work with a lovely, and willing to learn. Hatred of the LGBT Community plus the lack of educational material about the LGBT Community in schools and in the public domain is seriously lacking. A muzzle must be put on all people who teach negative information about the LGBT Community. There are no anti-discrimination laws in Poland and this must change. Huge sums of money are being poured into the country but none of it is getting to the people who need it most and this includes the LGBT Community. In the eyes of the government, Poland consists of Warsaw only, the rest of the country does not matter or exist. I work with many underpriviladged families doing what I can to alleviate the extreme physical, mental and spiritual poverty here, but I am only one man and I have limited resources. Many young gay men from the age of 17 are thrown out into the street by their anti-gay families. I wish I could do more to help.
seems like homophobia reached UK, comments by kensington and wildseas are ridicules…I understand that not all people in UK are such ignorants, only those visiting this site

Pepsi steals Coke's thunder

MUMBAI: Pepsi has decided to exercise its pre-emption rights on DD and steal the thunder from Coke. With Pepsi being the principal sponsor on Sony Entertainment Television, Coke had decided to pitch as 'presenting sponsor' on DD. However, as Pepsi is one of the 8 official international sponsors for the tournament, it has pre-emption rights to oust and replace a competitor for telecast sponsorship. Pepsi used its veto reportedly at the last minute. Apart from Pepsi, the other three presenting...
Thums down to coke
December 8, 2006
The fact that Thums Up still remains well ahead of Coke in Coca-Cola India's portfolio is a reminder that India is not a me-too market. When Coca-Cola acquired Thums Up it was widely believed the Indian brand would be allowed to fade out, thereby making it easier for Coca-Cola to reproduce its global dominance in India as well. But Thums Up has proved to be much more resilient than expected. And it is not the only originally Indian brand that has resisted foreign competition. Even the local potato chips...

Why Coke doesn't float
July 12, 2002
Prithvi Haldea Strange are the ways sometimes even of revered MNCs. The desperation of Coca-Cola over the last year to wriggle out of its commitment to float an IPO is, in the least, amusing. Not to be outdone by three rejections of its plea by the government, it has now devised a strange option, that of divesting through a private placement. Going by reports, Coke is planning private placement in favour of its domestic associates, including its bottlers. Why did Coke not go ahead with this solution all...

Argumentation mining aims to automatically detect, classify and structure argumentation in text. Therefore, argumentation mining is an important part of a complete argumentation analyisis, i.e. understanding the content of serial arguments, their linguistic structure, the relationship between the preceding and following arguments, recognizing the underlying conceptual beliefs, and understanding within the comprehensive coherence of the specific topic. We present different methods to aid argumentation mining, starting with plain argumentation detection and moving forward to a more structural analysis of the detected argumentation. Different state-of-the-art techniques on machine learning and context free grammars are applied to solve the challenges of argumentation mining. We also highlight fundamental questions found during our research and analyse different issues for future research on argumentation mining.

This one's for you, Auburn fan who thinks the national runner-up should be higher than sixth in the Associated Press preseason poll, released Sunday afternoon. And it's for you, Ohio State fan, to defend the chronically criticized Big Ten, the only Power Five league without a team in the top four of either the AP or USA Today coaches' preseason poll.
Don't worry, Baylor fan, we didn't forget you. If you want to climb to the top of beautiful new McLane Stadium and scream about why your Bears should be higher than No. 10 in both polls, go right ahead. Maybe you can hear the same outcries from fans of No. 19 Arizona State, No. 20 Kansas State or No. 24 Missouri, the defending SEC East champ excluded from the coaches' poll while barely squeaking into the AP.
Speaking of the SEC, no other conference had more teams (eight) in the preseason AP poll. So what's the complaint? There could have been more. Meanwhile, the league that ended the SEC's run of national titles, the ACC, placed just three teams -- No. 1 Florida State, No. 16 Clemson and No. 23 North Carolina -- in the AP rankings. Duke fans, grumble away.
Preseason polls serve a therapeutic purpose. They allow us to vent, to argue, to compare, to exclaim, to protest and, most important, to fill time before the games begin later this month. They are part of the American sports fan experience, and you should enjoy them.
Yet for the first time, the polls will have little to no bearing on shaping college football's national championship race. And that's a great thing too.
If Tom Osborne, Condoleezza Rice and Jeff Long were relentlessly refreshing Twitter at 2 p.m. ET Sunday, the time the AP poll was released, we have a problem. If Oliver Luck, Tyrone Willingham and Archie Manning furiously began calculating the Top 25 breakdown by conference, this might not work out. If Mike Tranghese, Barry Alvarez and Pat Haden immediately noticed how similar the AP and coaches' preseason polls are -- teams ranked 7 to 17 are identical, and only two teams, Missouri and Texas, made just one of the polls -- the playoff selection process could go very wrong.
The 13 members of the College Football Playoff selection committee shouldn't care about these rankings. They shouldn't spend one nanosecond analyzing them. They shouldn't read this or any other media report about what the polls suggest about this team or that conference. Here's hoping they spent Sunday fishing, golfing or anything other than poll watching.
This is about you, not them. So go ahead and wonder if a Wisconsin team with a largely revamped roster is rated way too high -- No. 14 in both polls -- and why Iowa, which loses far less than the Badgers off a vastly improved team, failed to make either preseason poll. Ask which set of voters correctly has the order of "O" teams -- Oregon, Oklahoma and Ohio State. Argue whether teams with new quarterbacks (Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Clemson, Texas A&M) are too high or too low.
Notre Dame's inclusion at No. 17 will set off fireworks, but remember the AP votes took place before Friday's announcement that four starters, including star cornerback KeiVarae Russell, have been held out pending an academic investigation into potential misconduct.
There's little debate at the top, as defending champion Florida State, led by reigning Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston, received 57 of the 60 first-place votes in the AP poll. Alabama, which will have a new quarterback but returns arguably the nation's most talented roster, is solidly in second position. It's very close for No. 3 between Oregon, which could have the nation's best player (Marcus Mariota), and Oklahoma, which stunned Alabama in the 2014 Sugar Bowl and eyes the next step.
Although the SEC has three teams among the top nine and five in the top 13, the Pac-12 enters the season projected as the nation's No. 2 conference. The quarterback-stacked league has three teams in the top 11 and five in the top 19.
Few would be shocked if the inaugural playoff reveals a field similar to the top of the preseason rankings. We could see four teams from four conferences, as both polls show, or multiple teams from a league like the SEC or Pac-12. Perhaps a team outside the preseason top 10 rises up, like Georgia, Arizona State or Nebraska. While zero teams from Group of Five conferences appear in the AP poll, don't write off UCF, the reigning Fiesta Bowl champion.
Talking season might be over, but debate season is in full swing, at least until the real season begins. So tell the world what you think of the polls. Just don't expect the committee members to listen.

To prepare for his role as the father of Valentina Novakovic's character Tash on Neighbours, Sandy invited her over to his house for dinner several times. Having her there with his kids made it easier for him to put himself in the mindset of being her father.
Sandy relaxes by spending time outdoors. At home in Sydney, he's usually fishing, surfing, or playing with his kids.
One of Sandy's most difficult experiences as an actor was filming the series The Pacific. Not only was he required to spend two weeks in a rainforest training as a soldier, but he also had to speak with an American accent rather than his own native Australian while actually filming.
Sandy is a loyal fan of the Sydney Swans of the Australian Football League.
Sandy is married, and has two children.
Sandy dated Australian actress Freya Stafford.
Sandy took some classes in stage fighting at Sydney's NIDA, but playing Prince Morloch on Xena was the first opportunity he had to put those classes to use.
Sandy began his acting career performing in theatre. His credits include Live Acts on Stage (dir. Michael Gow), the Sydney Theatre Company's Stuff Happens (dir. Neil Armsfield), Blackrock (dir. David Berthold), and Herbal Red (dir. by Marion Potts). He also appeared in the QTC/MTC production of Long Day's Journey into Night. In 2009, Sandy appeared at the Griffin Theatre in the play Strange Attractor playing the role of "Gus" (dir. Nick Marchand).
Sandy is 6' 1" (185 cm) tall, with blue eyes and blonde hair.
Sandy: (about his show "Neighbours") I'm loving it. It's a really good group of people and family, in the terms of cast and crew. I'm probably having the best time I've had in the last 15 years of acting. I've had some really good jobs, but I guess one big thing is you always know something's going to come to an end. But with this it's nice to know it's ongoing and the stories keep coming, and the people are really grounded and lovely to work with.
Sandy: (on his "Xena" character Prince Morloch) He enjoys a good hunt, and that's his life motivation. He's always looking for the perfect one. I guess, to a certain extent, he's that cartoon-ish villain that you find in this sort of genre. But it's not just about being a murderer and being vicious and cruel; it's more about the game. It's like some men were born to be poets, some were born to be seers; Morloch is a hunter, and that's what he was born to do.
Sandy: (on the actor turnover on "Neighbours") It is sad. But if you look at a cast list from five years ago and five years before that, it's amazing how much these things turn over, but sad to have so many wonderful people leaving at the same time.
Sandy: (on his guest starring role on "Xena") The best thing about Xena is that it's a full reversion into childhood, and we're getting paid for it! It's great fun.
Sandy: (on his guest starring role for "Xena") I love doing the stunts. There's somebody over there looking exactly like me, who can do the bits that I can't, but I want to do as much as they'll let me.

We are offering great rewards for those who are willing to help us fund our product line. The first step is to raise $2,000, and that will be easy. The harder part will be to raise $100,000, our "Stretch Goals," that will help fund the advanced books, and the legal work for licensing our programs nationwide. We've spent thousands of dollars to create what we have, so far, but we need another $100k to succeed.
There are only six degrees of separation between you and everyone else in the world. Join me in the goal to share the dream of creating exciting and empowering programs for kids and teens, gamers and educators, and everyone in between!
You have my thanks and the gratitude of everyone who benefits from Renaissance Adventures!
