free markets perspective, examine the ethics and morality of 'let capitalism rip' allegation made by British Prime Minister David Cameron. (Guide: 750 words)
The competence or incompetence of free markets and the implications of resource allotment to agents in an economy continues to be a passionately debated topic within economic and political circles. "In reality, markets are prone to inefficiencies when a number of factors arise" (Mendes, n.d.). A key principle of the free market philosophy is that businesses should focus exclusively on maximising shareholder value and not allow other considerations, apart from compliance with the law, to intrude on their business activities. This is what governments over the past 30 years have lived by. And that's what still protects big business from having to pay for its own excesses. The speculative banks, the oil companies, the private equity and hedge funds, all steal from the tax payer with total impunity. Occasionally, there's a coincidence of events hitting the headlines together, shouting out the criminal injustice of what is permitted to go on (Pearson, 2010).
Free-market economists have sufficiently established and documented the fact that free enterprise is the most proficient and industrious way to supply for people's economic needs and wants. The easy but powerful logic of supply and demand is indisputable, and even the critics of the free market recognize that the unseen hand of self-interest can produce and dole out goods and services without any necessitate for central planning and control. Yet, the persistent critics and opponents have succeeded in compelling much of the globe that there is something menacing or corrupt about the free market and private enterprise. Even when they recognize its efficiency, they claim that free enterprise is in some way unjust or intrinsically exploitive. Even when they concur that the free market is prolific, they dispute that it produces the wrong goods, like too much advertising or too many lavish goods, and not enough public goods like education (Foldvary, 2011).
Adversaries of free markets frequently condemn the disparities of wealth that may consequence from it. One principle which they will generally agree with is the moral fairness of man, that all human beings are equivalent in human rights. Moral equality means that no one may assert to be morally better to others, and that no one may compel their beliefs, values, and desires on another, for those of one person have equal position with those of anyone else. This means that if one person thinks that certain goods should be fashioned, he has no moral right to force another to obey with this personal belief. "Each person has his own unique personality and his own needs and desires, and moral equality implies that each person has the equal right to decide how he should live, including how he will work and what he shall buy and sell" (Foldvary, 2011).
Consequently, the fundamental moral principle well-suited with moral equality is that no one may compel their personal will on another. One may use force only in self-protection. Otherwise, compulsion is morally wrong, and that implies that people have the right to do whatever does not coercively hurt others. Actions which do not compel others are morally right, or at least not incorrect, from society's point-of-view. "For example, if someone sells cigarettes, he could be accused of selling something harmful to health, but since their purchase is voluntary, it is not coercive and thus not wrong" (Foldvary, 2011).
Of the numerous issues that often separate economists, the one which is probably most contested is the degree of government intervention in the economy, as seen through its numerous manifestations, such as the extent of public spending as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), the amount of labor and financial market regulation, the configuration and level of taxation (direct and indirect taxes). "The degree of government intervention in an economy is usually measured in terms of public expenditure as percentage of GDP. In the OECD, in 2009, this degree ranged from 34% (Korea) to 56% (Sweden). Yet, government intervention can also take the form of legislation and regulations, not illustrated by the size of its expenditure" (Lombard, n.d.).
The view has been, over many years, that considerable government intervention is harmful to economic growth, and therefore to overall standard of living. Unlike developing countries, where defence is typically the major appearance of government expenditure, for most developed countries, the greatest share of government spending is allocated to social welfare measures like cash social services including unemployment and sickness benefits, pensions and family allowances, education, health, and low-rent accommodation. This focus on equity deliberations needs to be funded by taxation, which is then professed by free marketeers as causing inefficiencies through disincentives to work, to enterprise, or, for those who are not directly recipients of government generosity, through a decrease in their standard of living (Lombard, n.d.).
1.2 - Evaluate the system using Milton Friedman's and Norman Bowie's neo-classical models of corporate social responsibility (CSR). Make recommendations on the way forward for a more 'sustainable' market economics. (Guide 750 words)
The present financial meltdown is the consequence of under-regulated markets founded on a philosophy of free market capitalism and limitless economic growth. The fundamental trouble is that the underlying assumptions of this philosophy are not consistent with what is known about the actual state of the world. "The financial world is, in essence, a set of markers for goods, services, and risks in the real world and when those markers are allowed to deviate too far from reality, "adjustments" must ultimately follow and crisis and panic can ensue. To solve this and future financial crisis requires that we reconnect the markers with reality" (Costanza, 2009).
The conventional vision of the economy is founded on a number of assumptions that were fashioned during a period when the world was still comparatively empty of humans and their built infrastructure. In this bare world context, built capital was the restrictive issue, while natural capital and social capital were plentiful. It made sense, in that context, not to be concerned too much about environmental and social externalities since they could be assumed to be comparatively small and in the end solvable. It made sense to center on the growth of the market economy, as measured by GDP, as a main means to improve human welfare. It made sense, in that circumstance, to think of the financial system as only marketed goods and services and to think of the objective as increasing the quantity of these goods and services produced and used (Costanza, 2009).
But the world has changed considerably. It is now a world fairly full of humans and their built capital infrastructure. In this new circumstance, it is important to first remember that the objective of the economy is to sustainably advance human well-being and quality of life. One has to remember that material utilization and GDP are merely means to that end, not ends in themselves. People have to recognize, as both ancient wisdom and new psychological research reveals that material use beyond real need can in fact reduce well-being. It is important to understand what really does add to sustainable human well-being, and distinguish the considerable contributions of natural and social capital, which are now the limiting factors in a lot of countries. "We have to be able to distinguish between real poverty in terms of low quality of life, and merely low monetary income. Ultimately we have to create a new model of the economy and development that acknowledges this new full world context and vision" (Costanza, 2009).
The modern new economics movement has gathered growing momentum over the last few years and during that time, new economics principles have crystallized. They include:
methodical empowerment of people as opposed to making and keeping them dependent, as the foundation for people centered development methodical conservation of resources and environment, as the foundation for environmentally sustainable improvement progress from a wealth of nations model of economic life to a one-world model, and from today's inter-national financial system to an ecologically sustainable, decentralizing, multi-level one-world economic system reinstatement of political and ethical factors to a central place in financial life and thought admiration for qualitative values, not just quantitative values respect for feminine values, not just masculine ones.
These ideologies are pertinent to every area of economic life and thought, and to every level ranging from personal and household to global and every feature, such as lifestyle choices and organizational goals (Robertson, 2005).
An open, international economy requires a global frame-work. Values and rules which have been proven at both the national and European level within the structure of a social and market-oriented system of values and financial rules must also be applied globally. These principles set up a link between freedom and responsibility for the benefit of all. They must be enhanced, particularly in the area of the financial markets, and reinforced within the system of international trade. What is necessary is the growth of the legality,…[continue]

Therefore, corporations have had to change their viewpoints and start looking at the long-term consequences of their behavior, as well as looking at the bottom line. Businesses also have to be concerned because consumers have also become aware of environmental concerns, and many consumers are demanding earth-friendly products and have shown a willingness to pay more money to competitors who observe environmentally-friendly practices.

Because of the mistakes of the company in the past, Koltun is faced with significant downside risk from mishandling this situation. It

The room was clean and habitable but the male owner/staff member was very unlikeable. He never smiled, was not friendly and seem to be acting like he is was a security or something. we had a dog which the hotel is dog friendly, but customers complained about it. One even said they were highly allergic, well tough, they should've gotten a hotel that didn't allow pets. And for their information, it was a boston terrier (hypoallergenic). The male owner or whoever he was could use a few skills in customer service and social skills. He had a very bad attitude.
A nice place to stay for an overnight stay.
Clean room but no internet and no breakfast.
The room was reasonably clean, and the front desk staff was ready to check us in. Other than that, this was not a pleasant stay. The whole area at this exit of the interstate is derelict, and this hotel seems to be fading away with it. The room was hot, the wifi was slow to non-existent and overall my husband and I were uncomfortable. I normally don't complain too much about budget hotels, but I can't recommend staying here.
Everything about the room was good, it was clean and in good repair. Manager/owner did not have much of a personality, but he was professional. WiFi and breakfast were what we have come to expect, not much.

Posted on 04/05/2014 10:18:12 AM PDT by servo1969
Malaysian officials admitted Saturday that the batteries on the black box of missing flight MH370 were expired and due to be replaced.
The plane has been missing for 28 days.
A Malaysia Airlines (MAS) MH370 flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing has lost contact with Subang Air Traffic Control at 2.40am, 8th March 2014. The plane was carrying a total number of 227 passengers including two infants and twelve crew members.
The Strait Times reported:
Malaysia Airlines chief executive officer (CEO) Ahmad Jauhari Yahya today confirmed that the batteries of the black box pingers of the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) Flight MH370 were due for replacement in June.
And as far as the batteries are concerned, we confirm that there is a maintenance programme whereby the batteries are replaced prior to its expiry.
We do know that the batterries are due for replacement only in June 2014, he said at a briefing on the search operation for MH370, here today.
Ahmad Jauhari said this in respond to a question from the floor whether the pinger batteries were due for replacement in 2012, as claimed by its US based manufacturer Dukane Seacom Inc.
On Friday, Dukane Seacom Inc president Anish Patel told CNN that the recorders were scheduled for battery replacements in 2012, but they were never returned for the overhaul.
All commercial aircraft are required to carry pingers, known as underwater locator beacons, to help investigators locate them should they crash into water.
One is attached to the flight data recorder (FDR) and another to the cockpit voice recorder (CVR).
The FDR and CVR make up the flight recorders, also known as the black box. The pings sound about once per second, and can be detected from two nautical miles away by towed pinger locators (TPLs).
Oh darn!
As the Church lady says " how convenient "
It seems someone doesn't want this aircraft found.
This really does it.
Over and out.
Why am I reminded of all the times the police dash-cams suddenly "don't work"?
Ques.: Who got a million dollars for a plane delivering 6 suitcase bombs.
I've been in meetings with people like this -- a design process or a business case analysis can be like a chess match. With much struggle, and lots of maneuvering, you can approach a solution. You say to yourself, "Three more moves! I'll checkmate in just three moves!"
And then suddenly you're playing Texas Hold 'em and the long process starts all over again.
Because some people don't want you to reach the end.
This may not be as bad as they're making it out to be. Batteries are required to be changed long before their useful life is over. Had a friend who worked for the Public Utilities Commission. He gave me bags of 9 volt batteries. They were required to change them every week, even if the testing device had not been used that week. I'd use the batteries in the same tester he used, and they lasted 9 months. And I did 4 tests every single day. Water company chlorine tester.
Travelers who have to fly foreign carriers should have all their affairs in order. They are really risking their lives.
Good to know. Thanks for that info.
How conveeeeeeeenient.
No debris in the ocean, questionable pilots, now the batteries are bad...something is rotten in Denmark.
For all we know they have already expired.
Exactly what I thought, and posted...
As per the lobbyist requests
they did not expire till June, what is the big deal?
Time to call BS on this entire thing. As if it would take them this long to make that known!
Just seeing articles like these that project to the public that trying to find the aircraft is fruitless.
Just take their word for it. Muslims wouldn't lie now would they?
What on earth will CNN do now????
Where this "magic carpet" is now and where its headed, it won't be needing any Black Box.
Chinese ship reports its hearing pings and its not their relatives calling by phone.
If I were an international business owner, NO WAY would I put any of my employees on any Malaysian flight. EVER.
Just take their word for it. Muslims wouldn't lie now would they?
What on earth will CNN do now????
Where this "magic carpet" is now and where its headed, it won't be needing any Black Box.
In other words ? it was not a random accident, more like a criminal investigation..
Yeh...but they're now saying they're picking up a ping....but absolutely no sign of debris. They all know the currents...so if they get a ping, they could calc the path of the debris.
....."It seems someone doesnt want this aircraft found."....
That would be my guess now, though I haven't been following it closely. There are simply too many gaps in how this whole investigation has gone.
Although I did read some plane that went down , took 2 years to find the box.
But there's also this from the linked article;
"On Friday, Dukane Seacom Inc president Anish Patel told CNN that the recorders were scheduled for battery replacements in 2012, but they were never returned for the overhaul."
So, what I said may not be the case here. I was referring to honest people following regulations. That may not be the case with Malaysian airlines!
My son in law works for a large, unionized outfit and I'm amazed (and the recipient) of some pretty neat, out-of-date 'profit sharing'
Or a convenient excuse to trow people off their tracks ? as in ? government involvement and cover up ?
Batteries aren't all the same. They figure out how far down the bell curve is safe. Do you pick a date where half the batteries would still be good as a replacement date? 90%? 99%? 99.99%?
Yet supposedly the Chinese have been hearing "Pings" From underwater so what are we supposed to believe
Yes, batteries are fickled things..
As opposed to the domestic carriers who charge you a fortune and treat you like cattle.
"It seems someone doesnt want this aircraft found."
My thoughts. Who and what was on that aircraft that someone wanted it disappeared? Stolen Iranian passports, pictures that look photoshopped, crazy speculation. Incompetence, lack of cooperation and sensors not working.
And it's just a coincidence that this plane vanished into the deepest reaches of the ocean in the worst weather possible.
Funny thing, there is only one country that can find this plane. And they aren't working too hard at finding it.
The story contradicts the headline.
The batteries were due for replacement in June, BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE.
The aircraft disappeared in March, LONG BEFORE THE EXPIRATION DATE.
The headline should be changed, or the thread pulled.
The level of ignorance, stupidity and cluelessness in reporting information about the disappearance of and search for Flight MH370 is breathtaking.
There seems to be no understanding of the laws, rules, regulations and constant maintenance requirements international airlines are subject to.
Most motorists (99.999%) do NOT keep a detailed record of the maintenance of their vehicles. And there is no penalty attached for failure to do so. Yes even bad or failing brakes.
On the other hand, most airlines (99.999%) keep a detailed and complete record of every part replaced, and every maintenance check and process required by regulations and airworthiness directives. It is a constant, ongoing process. The penalties for failure to comply are swift, certain and severe. Often in the millions$.
Granted, there are State Airlines run by corrupt governments which cut corners and consider critical requirements as merely suggestions.
Hard to think that Malaysia might be one of those. But if it is, the fallout, from the international Airline Community and the flying public can (and should) result in severe financial penalties and even bankruptcy.
Who actually believes that airlines are not required to fuel aircraft only when they run out of gas?
Or to replace tires before they blow?
Or to replace emergency items like batteries before they expire?
So, what idiot would write a first sentence like that?
If I had to make a choice between reality and incompetent reporting, I would just wait.
Batteries are shelf life items. They have a date when they are considered "expired" before they are installed. Once they are installed in equipment, they also have a standard useful life based on the battery type and the typical draw of the equipment they are in. Just because they are past their shelf life or installed useful life doesn't mean they won't work. These designations are somewhat arbitrary.
No government is this inefficient. Somalia would have handled it better. Something is off.
Pilot and co pilot were members of the bearded savage cult. That tells us all we need to know.
Terrific! Brain of Malaysian Airlines CEO Has Expired, Not Due to Be Replaced Anytime Soon
IF found to be criminally negligent.
Unfortunately, Malaysia Airlines would certainly not be the only ones.
In addition, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, South America are scary. Primarily local flights.
Even U.S. Airline flights to some Pacific destinations are uncomfortable, mostly in the weird items those flights allow on some flights.
Your post gave me a visual of the pilot thousand miles out over the ocean tapping on the fuel gauge going "Oh' crap should have fueled up at that last stop"...
Which means that they still have a lot of juice left in them -- for this search anyway.

Just filed yesterday. I am happy to have the weight lifted off. I have one final question. I currently bank with Chase. I included their freedom card in my BK. My question is will they take my direct deposits from my employer? Should I find a different bank until my BK is discharged? My CC is just 2 days past due at this point, but I know they will get notice of my bk filing within the next few business days.
Thanks in advance.
I moved my money just in case because I included my bank as a creditor when I filed but nothing ever happened so I just moved everything back over after discharge.
Thanks for the info! On a side note, just got my checking acct setup at NFCU. I am planning on using them as a secondary checking account to start building a relationship with them. That way when my bk is discharged, it is already est.
Thanks again for the info!
I've heard wonderful things about NFCU. Personally, if I were you, I wouldn't even bother with a different credit card company. It seems like they would let you start off with a secured card and then convert to an unsecured with good use. They are also generous with their credit lines and they have so many different credit products that you can establish multiple credit accounts with them.
Good luck OP!
I would say to make NFCU your PRIMARY banking institution! They are wonderful and will be willing to give you a chance post BK. I have no complaints about them and didnt think twice about dropping Chase for them.
Yeah, I ended up moving all my money there yesterday and will be starting my direct deposit on my next paycheck. I haven't apped with them yet, but I plan on doing it either May/June or around November. I haven't decided yet. I don't need them reporting yet because I managed to get three TLs this last week, so I may just sit baak and let those report for 6/7 months.

Trash compactor
Does anyone have a trash compactor? My brother is thinking of getting one to use to compress used clothes that he sends down to Guatemala. None of us have ever had or used one and we are wondering if this is a realistic hope. He said even if it could compact them by 20% it would be useful as the shipping fee is based on volume. Does it just squeeze down things like milk cartons or does it really compact anything?

Woman's Day From 1970's worth selling?
I'm going through my father's garage, and have come across two waist high piles of magazines from the 1970's, most likely waiting room material left over from when he owned a small business. They seem to mostly be "Woman's Day" and "Woman" magazines from 1970-1974. Should I separate the decent ones from the yellowing and crumbled ones, and try to sell them? [more inside]
ISO best practices for cleaning up broken glass outdoors
I have a (potentially) lovely area in my yard where I'd like to put some patio furniture. Problem: it seems to have been used as a midden/trash heap at some point in the past. Things I've found there include old glass fuses, broken window glass, and old vacuum cleaner parts (some with tree roots growing right through them). I suspect the *right* way to fix it is to dig up and replace a few inches of the topsoil (or to pave it over), but I'm renting. I'm willing to put down a few inches of mulch, but I'd like to get as much of the glass up as I can beforehand. I've been picking it up by (gloved) hand but if anyone has any secret tips for locating and picking up broken glass off of dirt, I'd love to hear them!
My little scavenger
My sweet pup learned to scavenge to survive as a stray in a rural area with her mom.

Need solutions to stop smells of baby poop
After my baby poops in the diaper I throw it in the trash but the whole room smells of poop and the whole house to until I take out the trash once or twice a week. I need a better system, is there some special bag or trash can that can stop smells from coming thru? Or can I spray the poop with something that will stop it from smelling? Taking the diaper outside to the main trashcan multiple times a day is not a option.

We are currently having roach problems in our apartment, and sadly the monthly visits by our landlord supplied pest guy are not having any effect.

A weak pound and poor exchange rates can make some holidaymakers think again before jetting off abroad.
Growing concerns about a hung parliament after the summer's general election have pushed the pound to new lows against the dollar this week.
How can you protect your holiday budget from any further depreciation?
Well, prepaid travel money cards can be loaded with local currency and are safer then carrying around lots of cash.
And travel money and travel currency cards can also cut out expensive charges that normal credit cards make on cash withdrawals and general spending abroad.
Holidaymakers are also advised to take a variety of payment methods with them so that the best type can be used in different situations.
If you load up a travel money card with dollars now, you'll protect the value of your holiday money and be sure you know how much you've got to spend, even if things get worse for the pound.

How to know when you've been on head-fi too much...other members offer to correct your post, and they're right.
Yes, most desktop amps will drive a planar magnetic hp to a "loud" level, excluding the he4/6. But if all your looking for is loud you can do that for a lot less money and really with no amp for that matter.
For me, it's about finding the "right" amp for any headphone but especially for a planar. What is the signature of the hp? How does the amp complement or not complement the hp? Are there still enjoyable dynamics at lower listening levels or do you have to really crank the pot to get good dynamics. These are some of the things I consider when shopping for a desktop amp.
EF2A is 320mW at 32ohms. That isn't even enough to properly drive the HE400. Try 700mW for the he400 and 1500mW for the HE500. Those should give good dynamics.
Look to your own words for the explanation. You're conflating gain with power in your early sentences, but then you seem to recognize that fact later and even suggest the reason higher output power is desired.
Granted, that power must be clean. If the increase in power is of a higher distortion or noise level, then the advantages are wasted. In headphone gear, we're into micro-transients and as low a noise floor as physically possible. Assuming that's all equal (a big assumption), then that amplifier that has more power reserve is more desired.
In airplanes and cars, one can reach a physical limit in speed, almost completely dependent on the airflow limitations, instead of power. Yet, the vehicle with more power reserves is going to have more acceleration at that speed, enabling quicker turns, faster response, and the ability to maintain the achieved level in spite of external influences. Amplifiers are somewhat analogous - just don't carry it too far.
If you're satisfied with the EF2A and the HE400 paired then good for you.
The 1.5W was recommended by Fang of Hifiman. The 700mW for the 400 is an estimate by what people have tried. Think of it this way, the EF5 was used to showcase the more efficient 560 at CES and those are putting out 2W I believe. If the HE400i are more efficient than the HE400, why not use the 300mW EF2A to showcase it's efficiency?
Yeah, it's a 901 DAP through an EF5.
Here's a cut and paste of a cut and paste from another forum. It's seems like a fairly level-headed assessment.
Caveat: All listening was done via the Hifiman EF5 and the 901 DAP. There was an Emotiva CD player there but they refused to hook it up because they said it sounded so bad, it was only there for show I was told. The EF5 is a colored amp w/ some headphones and might have interesting synergy issues. IME, it tends to be tuned w/ Fang's headphones in mind, so keep that in consideration w/ impressions from it.
The 400i seems to have fixed the weird midrange distortion that some are able to pickup. They do sound better, more coherent overall signature and better clarity. Still less smooth and refined than the other Hifiman phones further up the range.
560 sounds quite a bit like the name implies a 500 adding a bit of 6 treble in the signature to brighten and open it up. Less warm than the HE500 with better clarity. Whether there are serious sibilance or treble issues is hard to tell as I have found in the past the EF5 to take the edge of such artifacts at times.
Overall, the HE6 had less of that full fleshed out bass compared to the 560, but every other technical metric apart from FR like speed, smoothness, refinement, imaging, were all superior on the HE6 still.
I always thought that the HE6 SQ was far away from others in the pack. I would be very surprised if HiFiMAN has a new model close to it. It now appears that the HE6 is still king of the hill at this time.

Simply put, how much retinol your skin needs depends on your skin type, skin concerns, and your skin's tolerance for this unique ingredient. The latter—your tolerance—is something you can find out only by experimenting with different strengths and application methods, and seeing how your skin responds.
In this article, we discuss not only what the different strengths of retinol can do, but also how much retinol is included in each Paula's Choice product that contains it. We explain what results you can expect whether you opt for a low-, moderate-, or high-strength retinol product, or if you should alternate products with different strengths, which works great for lots of people.
Keep in mind that no matter what strength of retinol you decide to use, skin care is never as simple as one ingredient, no matter how good that ingredient may be! Just as one food (spinach, for example) isn't enough to keep your body healthy, a single skincare ingredient can't do it all, either. Instead, your skincare routine should contain a range of beneficial ingredients, including antioxidants, skin- restoring ingredients, and signaling ingredients. Paula's Choice takes this approach with all of our products—including those containing retinol!
Despite retinol's reputation as an anti-aging workhorse, not everyone's skin can tolerate it in higher amounts. But lots of people can often use it with incredible benefit in lower percentages, especially if applied daily.
What Results You Can Expect: Don't think that low levels of retinol won't be beneficial, because they are! Published research has shown that concentrations of 0.01% retinol and up are indeed effective for improving multiple signs of aging and minimizing pore size, along with improving the overall health of skin. And because Paula's Choice retinol products are loaded with other beneficial ingredients such as antioxidants, peptides, and superior hydrating ingredients, they provide even more amazing benefits.
Research has also shown that low amounts of retinol paired with other antioxidants helps defend the skin against environmental damage when worn under a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day. (Don't forget to apply SPF of SPF 30 or greater every day.)
Following are the Paula's Choice lower percentage strength retinol products. Depending on your skin type and/or concern, you can easily alternate these with our high-strength retinol products:
These strengths of retinol are also ideal for combining with other products for special concerns such as our Boosters or other types of Targeted Treatments.
If you're dealing with stubborn concerns like uneven skin tone, noticeable of loss of firmness, deeper wrinkles, and/or stubborn bumps and flaws, you may want to consider adding a higher-percentage retinol product to your routine. This can be your nightly step or something you apply only 2–3 evenings per week. As previously stated, frequency of use depends on your skin's tolerance to retinol.
What Results You Can Expect: Moderate levels of retinol (from 0.04% to 0.1%) often work more efficiently so you'll see results more quickly than with low amounts. It'll come as no surprise that these strengths of retinol products perform even better when combined with other beneficial ingredients, as discussed above.
Published research has demonstrated that retinol concentrations at 0.04% and up improve visible signs of environmental assault and improve the appearance of thinning skin. A 2009 study showed that over the course of 8 weeks, 0.1% retinol has impressive results for truly improving multiple signs of aging.
Paula's Choice offers a variety of retinol formulas in the moderate-strength range, for both face and body:
For some, moderate levels of retinol may not provide the results they had hoped for, especially if their skincare concerns are more advanced. This situation is when moving to a product with a higher percentage of retinol is something to consider.
High-strength retinol products are products that contain 0.5% retinol up to 1%.
What Results You Can Expect: Higher percentage retinol products provide dramatic, rapid results in addressing your concerns that might not have responded to lower-strength formulas.
Contrary to what you may have read elsewhere, the benefits of retinol in addressing multiple signs of aging are visibly boosted when an AHA (glycolic acid) or BHA (salicylic acid) exfoliant is used. A 2004 study demonstrated this by pairing 0.1% retinol with 8% glycolic acid.
If you'd like to read the detailed reasons why retinol works so beautifully with AHAs, BHAs, and vitamin C, check out our article, 6 Retinol Myths Busted!.
Note: When using moderate- to high-percentage retinol products, pay attention to how your skin responds when pairing it with your AHA or BHA exfoliant. If any reaction you don't want occurs, reduce frequency of use until you find the right balance for your skin.
The secret to buying retinol products of any strength is to find those that are packaged to keep the ingredients stable (i.e., no jars or clear bottles) and that combine retinol with other skin-beneficial ingredients. These products should also NOT contain any irritating ingredients.
Of the dozens of retinol-containing serums and moisturizers on the market, you would be shocked to learn how many contain fragrance and/or large amounts of denatured alcohol or problematic, skin- aggravating plant extracts. These ingredients not only increase the risk of skin having a negative reaction, they also worsen all skin care concerns.
Now that you have a better understanding of how to find the strength of retinol that's right for your skin concerns, there isn't anything stopping you from getting the results you've always wanted! Remember, no matter which strength you choose, it's critical to look for a formula that combines retinol with a range of anti-aging ingredients in opaque, non-jar packaging. And, please, don't forget to protect your skin from UV damage with a sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater, every day, even if the sun isn't shining.

I was reading something the other day about taking a personal size microwavable dish, pouring in a bit of a brownie or cake mix, adding a tiny bit of water and a dab of caramel ice cream topping, microwave for a few short seconds (or to your liking as to how done you want it) for your own version of Betty Crocker Warm Delights. They said the possibilities of different varieties someone could come up with on flavors were endless!
That sounds like a wonderful idea but can you give me some proportions? How much of the brownie mix do you use along with the 1/2 cup of applesauce?

Everyone wants their devices to run faster and scammers prey on that. Recently, a scam app named Android Defrag Pro popped up on Google Play. Android doesn't need defragmentation, but many users installed it anyway and left positive reviews. Android isn't like Windows and doesn't require as much maintenance — still, there are some things you can do to make your device perform faster.
You may have heard that "Android fragmentation" is a problem, but this refers to the number of devices and versions of Android in the wild – fragmentation on Android's file system is not a problem.
What Works – The Basics
These easy-to-follow tips will work for everyone, no rooting your device required:
- Optimize Your Home Screens: Loading up your home screens with widgets and live wallpapers 11 Fascinating Android Live Wallpapers to Animate Your Home Screen 11 Fascinating Android Live Wallpapers to Animate Your Home Screen Wallpapers are an expression of yourself. Whether it's the wallpaper on your physical wall at home or your desktop wallpaper, it reveals a little bit about yourself. Or at least it shows you are not... Read More will slow things down a bit, particularly if you have an older, slower device. Trim the number of widgets you use and you may see a performance increase – of course, widgets may not slow things down too much, especially if you have a newer device. While animated wallpapers provide eye candy, they may cause your home screens to lag — not to mention the battery life hit.
- Kill & Uninstall Misbehaving Apps: Task killer apps are unnecessary — we'll get to that later — because Android normally does a good job of managing processes for you. However, in some cases, an app may misbehave, taking up a lot of CPU time and slowing your system. You can identify these apps from the Task Manager by their high resource usage. You can also use an app like Watchdog Task Manager, which watches for misbehaving apps. After you spot a misbehaving app, kill it. If it continues misbehaving, you should uninstall it.
- Install a Different Browser: If you're one of the majority of Android users stuck on an older version of Android, like Gingerbread, you could see a performance increase from installing a new browser What's The Fastest Android Browser? [Geeks Weigh In] What's The Fastest Android Browser? [Geeks Weigh In] Performance is important when browsing the web on a computer, but your average PC has plenty of power to work with. Smartphones, however, are a different story. The hottest Android phones on the market right... Read More . Android's built-in browser is only updated with the operating system, which means that Gingerbread's browser hasn't been updated in a long time. The new Firefox app for Android Android Firefox Now Faster With Fantastic New Features [Updates] Android Firefox Now Faster With Fantastic New Features [Updates] If you were one of the users frustrated by the problems with the Firefox app on Android when it first launched, then you are in luck. Mozilla just issued a massive update that overhauls every... Read More runs on Gingerbread and seems significantly faster than the built-in browser, in my experience. Users of Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and above can also try Google Chrome for Android Google Chrome Finally Launches For Android (ICS Only) [News] Google Chrome Finally Launches For Android (ICS Only) [News] Read More . Opera Mini Opera Launches New Versions Of Mobile Browsers [News] Opera Launches New Versions Of Mobile Browsers [News] Read More is another good choice – Opera Mini renders pages on Opera's servers before sending them to your device, saving your device's processing power and reducing network usage. Opera Mini will help more with slower devices that take a while to load web pages.
What Works – The Geekier Stuff
These tips will require rooting your device or installing a custom ROM – not necessarily for the average user! That said, rooting your Android phone or tablet How To Root Your Android Phone With SuperOneClick How To Root Your Android Phone With SuperOneClick Read More may be easier than you'd think.
- Overclock Your Device: Just like with a desktop or laptop computer, you can overclock your Android phone or tablet 3 Cool Things You Can Do With A Rooted Android Phone 3 Cool Things You Can Do With A Rooted Android Phone By now you will know that there are a bunch of us here at MakeUseOf that love Android phones.

SetCPU is a popular choice for overclocking your device's CPU What Is A CPU and What Does It Do? [Technology Explained] What Is A CPU and What Does It Do? [Technology Explained] Read More . Bear in mind that overclocking can be dangerous – an overclocked phone will generate more heat, and this could result in hardware damage. Overclocking will also decrease your device's battery life.
- Install Custom ROMs to Get a Newer Version of Android: Newer versions of Android perform better than older ones. For example, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Evolution of Android: From 1.0 to Jelly Bean [Geek History Lessons] Evolution of Android: From 1.0 to Jelly Bean [Geek History Lessons] Read More is significantly more responsive than older versions thanks to Project Butter, which aimed to dramatically reduce lag. While your phone may not have an official update to a newer version of Android, you can often upgrade by installing a custom ROM How to Install a Custom ROM on Your Android Device How to Install a Custom ROM on Your Android Device Ready to revitalize your Android phone or tablet? Installing a custom ROM is the best way to do that -- powering it up with even better performance and features. Read More . A custom ROM is a new build of the Android operating system, customized for your device and developed by the community. One popular custom ROM that supports a variety of devices is CyanogenMod How To Install CyanogenMod On Your Android Device How To Install CyanogenMod On Your Android Device A lot of people can agree that the Android operating system is pretty awesome. Not only is it great to use, but it's also free as in open source, so that it can be modified... Read More .
- Manage Autostart Programs: If you've rooted your Android, you can also use an app like Autostarts to manage which apps have permission to automatically start with your device. This can speed up your boot process.
What Doesn't Work
These things just don't work, or may be counterproductive.
- Defragment Your Android: For decades, Windows users have been told that defragmenting their hard drives 8 Best Defragmenters To Keep Your PC Running Like New 8 Best Defragmenters To Keep Your PC Running Like New Read More will speed their computer up. With this in mind, it's no surprise that scammers would create Android defragmenting apps. You don't need to defragment Android for the same reason you don't need to defragment a solid-state drive on a Windows computer 3 Top Tips To Maintain Performance & Extend The Life Of Your SSD 3 Top Tips To Maintain Performance & Extend The Life Of Your SSD For years, standard hard drives have been the speed limiting factor in overall system responsiveness. While hard drive size, RAM capacity, and CPU speed have grown almost exponentially, the spinning speed of a hard drive,... Read More . The SSD automatically manages where the data gets placed — defragmentation doesn't speed anything up. In fact, defragmentation can actually harm things – SSDs have a limited amount of write cycles, so defragmentation can reduce the life of your Android's storage.
- Run a Task Killer: Task killer apps end processes and remove them from memory – this sounds like it should speed things up. However, it may actually slow things down. Android will manage processes for you – processes running in the background don't use up resources like they do on Windows. While your memory may be full of processes, that's a good thing – unused memory does nothing, and the apps in memory will load more quickly when you go back to them. When a task killer kills a process, the app will take longer to load next time – it may also start back up immediately, slowing things down. Let Android manage processes for you. The one exception to this is misbehaving processes, which you should kill and uninstall – see the information about that in the basics section above.

How do you speed up your Android smartphone or tablet? Have you run into any other scams we haven't mentioned here? Leave a comment and let us know!
I totally disagree. Since marshmallow, task killers don't work and my battery gets demolished way way way faster. Before marshmallow when ram was cleared regularly by a task killer my phone was way faster and the battery lasted a lot longer. This is on lg g4 and Samsung note 3. Now with the screen off and me sleeping the battery gets depleted overnight even with sync and everything like location off. Upon checking battery usage it always says android os and android system. Before marshmallow I would wake up in the morning with over 90 percent battery. Android does NOT do well with my ram full. Please let us use task killers again!!!
You don't actually need root access to change apps with startup permission
Well, It works, but not a lot. Thank you for the tips.
from the Philippines
Is it possible to make the smartphone faster without installing an app?
Very useful tips of course ! Thank you.
I think task killers are made to prolong battery life though it makes the phone lag. But I already deleted my Advance Task Killer and installed the Watchdog. Gonna watch out for the difference. :) Thanks a bunch here from the Philippines :D
Hi, I recently (foolishly) downloaded the app android defrag from CNet before I read some of these forums and got educated. Sometime afterwards, I lost my phone number - my phone was simply no longer registered with my provider. I contacted them - apparently they received a message from my phone asking to transfer the number to another SIM, which they apparently did. I now have my number back, minus my credit - fortunately it is prepay, so they only got the balance of that. I don't like to think what may have happened if the phone was on a plan. And I don't know what other data they may have mined from my phone, either!
I am now checking my computer and phone for malware etc., but I am fairly certain that the android defrag app was responsible - I did nothing else that could have triggered something like that.
Evereyone should be aware of the possibility that this app is an active malware.
Had been using task killer since I got my phone. Thanks for the tips.
I have been considering the Cyanogen mods for my Droid and S3
Great article! My Droid 3 is dreadfully slow so I think it is time to Flash a Custom ROM upon it. How about deleting cache and wiping data from apps? Will this speed things up or will it just give you more space? And how about cleaning the Dalvik Cache, will this do anything for you?
wow, that is very help me to make my phone more faster
Android file system fragmentation seems very real to me, having ~70 apps (including the ones I can't get rid of).
I cannot update many of my apps, due to out of memory though having free space both in RAM and on the SD card.
Phone updated to ICS recently, so I hoped that something might have been solved in the update, but I have basically the same problem.
Sometimes, for certain apps be it small or large (not predictable), if the app is moved to the SD card, I might get the update to work if I move the app into phone memory. I might sometimes succeed in updating apps where update is 5MB, whereas small apps of 200kB do not work...
But this "backup way" of moving the app into phone doing the update and back again to SD card does not always work.
Currently available space for me is 2.17 GB (8 GB card) on the SD card, and 39 MB (of 380 MB)
Task killers sometimes cause than help...
Thanks for the heads up on task killers. I am using ICS.
it is nice and had a clear screen...
LOL defragging an android is so unnecessary.
I think my battery is. drained by the operating system.. I followed your advice and deleted the task killer app and downloaded the watchdog, but don't have any misbehaving apps. I use to have juice defender but deleted it because it said my device was not rooted and would have to perform a dangerous install fingers crossed. I read your article 100 android apps and was surprised that JD was there. I reloaded it but got the same message. I have a screen shot if you are interested - - just don't know how to attach it here.
Please reply my phone doesn't last 8 hours I may have to reload the task killer.
I just received an android notebook. Glad I read this before applying anything more to what is already installed. Thanks
no more task killer
Getting rid of task killer now, i didnt think it was doing anything, this just concludes it
Definitely try these one's out...
My brother is running this androind,gonna send this him to read,great stuff
task killers is a big nono. just look at your apps, look at the settings, and if there is an option that keeps it on running while on standby, disable it. else, dont use that app it it wasnt needed. you can also kill apps on application section of the settings app, then on running services, choose an app, kill it(with fire)
clap! clap! that's what i've done to my phone and it works. To add also disabled apps notification that you think you don't need to be notified :D
Mobile apps are hot today. But hiring a programmer is too expensive. I used snappii.com to make apps. It's really easy, the web service allows to make mobile apps in minutes, and without programming skills at all. If you are short of time, they can make an app for you very quickly.
how can I identify "missbehaving apps? I mean, except the high resource usage.
Good article, nothing to toss out here other than what may be slightly off topic.
Learning what/how to use the keys, buttons, combo keys and hotkeys/shortcuts would contribute to overall efficiency and possibly stress reducer.
Comprehensive review. Good ideas.
Just installed FF. Thanks for the tip.
The best thing I have found is using custom ROMS such as cyanogenmod
Flashed a Viewsonic G -Tablet several times as updates were available. Now running Honeycomb and it works well. It actually increased the speed of the unit. Just follow directions on the flashing and all will go well.
I believe apps running in the background consume more power as it takes electricity to store on RAM cells and they periodically use CPU on 5 to 10 % which further consume power, am I wrong ?
I've read that Task Killers actually do help if you're using a VERY old device or one of the low-end devices that you get on the cheap. I've personally tried some different task killers on a Kyocera Zio from Cricket Wireless and they actually make a difference, albeit a small one. By the way, don't hate me for messing around with a crappy Cricket phone--my brother-in-law bought it, not me! I still use my trusty (but ancient) Nokia 6630! ;)
No task killers, no live wallpapers, decent clock settings (as battery is concerned), also I try to keep the apps to a minimum. I usually take off apps I don't use regularly - less events the system has to keep track of.
Also facebook. That app wakes the phone like Donkey from Shrek – every 5 minutes. Also, when managing my autostart list, disabling apps, I also disable all widgets (the Widget Updating event). The only widget I use is the analog clock.
I also check for wakelocks regularly and fine tune when necessarily.
That's my recipe for a fast android device.
Yes I quit the task killer since it didn't appear to help.

Deck the halls this holiday season with dazzling picks and tips from our plus-size style star, Meredith Shaw.
Full disclosure: my favourite colour is sparkle. Sequins, rhinestones, beading and appliqués aren't just for the likes of Las Vegas showgirls (hello, Britney Spears and Jennifer Lopez!); they're also available for us mere mortals to delight and dazzle in. I realize not everyone is a fan of the more-is-more approach to holiday dressing, but maybe that's because of some absurd notion that having a curvy body relegates you to a life on the sidelines in a boring LBD. That's rubbish! No matter your size, you deserve to be in the spotlight—and the holidays season is the perfect time to dip into twinkling embellishments and gilded trimmings. From subtle sparkle to full-on shine, here are my steadfast ways to add twinkle to your outfits this season.
1. Sparks Fly
Keep your blazer or blouse looking cool, not corporate, by choosing one with a bit of draping—and a whole lot of sparkle. Wear it with dark skinnies and neutral heels, and you'll slay at any holiday soiree.
2. Tailor made
A-line skirts and dresses used to be my go-to because they highlight the waist and slide over lumps and bumps. Oh, how wrong I was. A pencil skirt is super flattering; the trick is to find one in a thick material with enough structure so it acts like shapewear. If skirts aren't your thing, try glittering trousers.
3. The party dress
When it comes to office parties, keep the silhouette sophisticated with a sheath dress—glittering, of course—that hits just below the knee. But if the bash is with friends or out on the town, let your sexy self roar by rocking a plunging neckline. Either way, all eyes will be on you!
4. That bling thing
You can go from frumpy to festive with a few carefully chosen accessories: an embellished clutch, a sequinned scarf, metallic pumps or a twinkling belt. Don't play it safe with just silver and gold tones; look for navy-, magenta- or hunter green-hued sparkles and chromed finishes.

Poke bowls are all the rage at the moment. We show you how to make your own vegetarian-version.
Poke is a Hawaiian salad traditionally made with chopped raw fish which has been marinated in a soy-based dressing. This poke-style dish is a twist on the original: it's vegetarian and uses sweet roasted beets instead of the raw fish. Have fun with your poke bowls and top them with a variety of garnishes like green onions, nori, toasted sesame seeds, cilantro, lime wedges or pickled cucumbers.
3/4 cup golden beets
3/4 cup candy cane beets
5 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp packed brown sugar
1-3/4 tbsp minced fresh ginger
1/2 avocado peeled pitted and chopped
Wrap each beet in foil; roast in 350°F oven until tender, about 40 minutes. Let cool enough to handle, peel and slice into small wedges.
While beets are cooking, in bowl, whisk together soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and ginger. Toss with warm beets; refrigerate for 1 hour. Stir in avocado. Serve beets over steamed white rice; garnish with thinly sliced green onions, toasted sesame seeds, fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
