Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC), October 13-16, 2016, Columbus Ohio By Kevin Wolf As the festival director, Tom Spurgeon, wrote in the Cartoon Crossroads Columbus (CXC) brochure, "For one week every Fall, it's our mission to make Columbus the cartooning capital of the world." CXC is more than a comic convention. It provides cartoonists, academics, fans, and anyone else interested a place to meet, hear presentations, get books signed, buy comic works, and discuss all things comics. For those interested in Comics & Medicine aspects, there might be cartoonists who wrote medicine-related graphic novels or memoirs. Or one might hear an… Read More

Conference Jam Comic #2
Much conference follow-up to come, but in the meantime, thought participants (and perhaps others) might like to see how that day-long comic jam ended. (It was late, there was alcohol involved.) Don't really know who started it – I remember seeing it with two or three panels pinned to a board somewhere during the day Saturday. Then it showed up at dinner, and the rest is, well, this. Thanks to all who played along.

We should think clearly and allow the image of our thoughts to sink into a subjective state. We do not crowd them down; we let them sink into this inner receptivity with power and with conviction. Our individual subjective mind is our place in the Universal Creative Law and immediately connects us with limitless power and energy.
How can I connect? How can I become closer to God? I can become closer to God by simply relaxing and letting go and accepting that I am God. I am already connected by simply accepting that I am connected. There is nothing to do but to accept my connectedness and to practice gratitude.

Here's the market outlook for this month: Content courtesy of Tallinex Limited https://www.tallinex.com
AUS200Dominant bias: Bearish
AUS200 dipped at the beginning of August before moving sideways until last week, when it dropped significantly. The bias is now bearish until price moves above the resistance line at 5620.0. Further dips are expected this month, which may enable the support lines at 5350.0, 5250.0 and 5200.0 to be reached.
Dominant bias: Neutral
The market was flat throughout August, which brought about a neutral bias that essentially started in July, and is likely to continue until the end of this month or early next. There should not be any protracted bullish movement now, as the bullish phase has already reached maturity; but a serious decline is possible if bears begin to wake up.
Dominant bias: Neutral
This was another flat market last month, which is now in a confirmed sideways phase. Price will continue swinging between the resistance level at 18670.0 and the support level at 18240.0 until something forces it to choose a direction - most probably downward, because 4-hour and hourly charts reveal bears making covert attempts to end the neutral bias.
Dominant bias: Bullish
As anticipated, price managed to break the 10470.8 high of June 23 (our goal since the strong pullback of June 24) - enabling buyers to fully recover their recent losses. The bias remains bullish on the daily chart but neutral on the 4-hour chart, though bullish effort is obvious from bullish closes of daily and 4-hour candles. This means bulls are still willing to push price upward this month - possibly reaching the supply levels at 10805.0, 10855.0 and 10900.0 - targets that are quite attainable this year.
Dominant bias: Bullish
As with GER30, FRA40 closed on a bullish note last Friday after the low of 4290.4 and high of 4525.9 during August. Bulls seem willing to push further north as there are Bullish Confirmation Patterns on the 4-hour and daily charts. Price is now at its highest level since April, so the aim for this month is to break the April high of 4612.9.

10 things your pets won't tell you
There are some things about owning a pet you should know. This list comes to us from Market Watch.
1. You'll spend a fortune on me
Consumers will spend $58.5 billion on them this year -- more than we spend at shoe stores, on video games and even on private school tuition.
2. Humans can't sniff out the differences in organic pet food
"Organic" labels are approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture -- although that only refers to how the ingredients are processed and separate pet food standards don't exist.
3. That treat could kill me
Since 2007, the FDA has recorded more than 4,800 incidences of "adverse effects," such as vomiting or diarrhea, related to just one treat category: jerky treats.
4. My favorite toy is also dangerous
There's no regulation regarding toys for pets
5. I don't really need that many vaccines
Depending on the pet's exposure risk, vaccination requirements can vary.
6. It can cost a lot to insure my health
Consumers will spend $22.8 billion on pet health care in 2014
7. Blame my breeder if I'm sick
Pet-store puppies that come from puppy mills are more likely to have health problems
8. My vet is running low on medications
There are four "medically necessary" vet products that are in short supply or were discontinued completely, according to the FDA.
9. Good luck getting an apartment
For some people, their only option for a roof over their heads may be to abandon their pets.
10. I know more tricks than my trainer
There's no licensing requirement in the U.S. to become a professional dog trainer or animal behavior counselor.

He has a point after eight years of Obama…..
Check it out:
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee says he'll have an announcement on Fox News' Special Report on Friday evening about whether and when he will run for president in 2016. Meanwhile, he's taking aim at the chattering classes on both sides in Washington.
At a roundtable with reporters from several right-of-center—some establishment, some conservative—outlets in downtown D.C. on Friday, Huckabee explained his time in Arkansas politics, and his aim for pragmatic conservative governing, makes him perfectly suited to run the country in 2017 after eight years of President Barack Obama.

The latest business news, reviews, features and whitepapers
Although we were unable to test the surge protection capabilities, we do like the safety features that have been implemented and we're a fan of the cable management and aerial surge protection on this model.
The only thing that's more heartbreaking than damaging your brand new electronic gear is watching it be destroyed by something you had no control over. Surge protection is an easily overlooked, but highly important addition to any expensive electronics setup. Considering the cost of TVs and home theatre systems, making the time to choose a surge protector is probably worth the effort.
One option in the surge protection space is a Belkin surge protector. We weren't able to test the surge protection capabilities of this device, but we took a look at its safety features and warranty support to see how it fared.
A power surge can be caused by a number of things. Most people think of power surges in terms of lightning strikes, but it doesn't take nature's wrath to destroy your entire home entertainment system. In fact, demand-related fluctuations in the power grid are one of the most common causes of a power surge. As power returns to your area an excess of electricity can course through the power lines, into your home's electrical wiring, and overload the sensitive circuitry in your electronic equipment.
Safety switches won't stop them and neither will the circuit breaker built into your standard power board. There are two main types of surge protectors: one that switches off when it detects a surge, a perfectly acceptable solution for your TV; and one that absorbs electricity until it can absorb no more, then self-destructs to protect the devices. The latter technology, which Belkin employs, is equally secure, but it also allows those devices connected to it to keep functioning in the event of a surge. This is a particularly useful feature for PC users, who are more likely to be adversely affected by a sudden loss of power.
This method of surge protection uses a series of metal oxide varistors (MOV) to absorb the power like a sponge. These sponges have no way of dissipating the electricity, so they're wired with a fuse that self-destructs the unit when each MOV has absorbed all it can. At this point a 'Protected' light will go out.
The device offers a maximum energy dissipation of 2190 Joules. The higher this figure, the more surges it can take over time before self-destruction. However, the length of time this lasts you will vary depending on the frequency of surges your power line experiences.
Another safety feature of the Belkin Concealed is its recessed plugs. These are intended to reduce the risk that something or someone can touch the live prongs, should they slip out a little. Newer devices will already feature an insulating coating over the first few millimetres of the prongs, but Belkin has taken this a step further with the recessed sockets.
Probably the most important feature of the Belkin surge protector — beyond how much electricity it can handle — is what Belkin will do for you if the Belkin Concealed fails to protect your gear. Belkin's lifetime warranty claims to replace all connected devices up to the value stated on the packaging, to replace the surge protector when it eventually fails and to pay for the attempted recovery of data lost in the event of a surge striking your PC — a service they outsource through Seagate.
Belkin Concealed surge protector
Like its smaller brother, the Belkin Compact surge protector, the Belkin Concealed surge protector is a six socket power board and surge protector. It offers the same unlimited connected equipment warranty, replacement warranty and data recovery warranty and features the same recessed sockets that act as a second level of protection against electrocution, as well as the protected light indicator.
All modern power plugs have a special insulated coating over the first for millimetres of the two live prongs. This helps to prevent accidental electrocution, should the plug come lose, exposing those first few millimetres. However, Belkin's recessed sockets take this simple preventative method a step further by ensuring the prongs are never exposed while the plug is inserted enough to draw power.
Beyond these features, however, the Concealed surge protector offers some additional safety. The board is built into a casing that opens on a hinge and closes with a lock. The only down side of this is it makes the whole unit quite bulky. Within the casing the power cables have cable routing to keep things neat and tidy, but the greatest advantage is making the device child tamper proof. This board offers one phone line input, but only one output, rather than two. However it also offers surge protection for the TV aerial cable.

HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
A smarter way to print for busy small business owners, combining speedy printing with scanning and copying, making it easier to produce high quality documents and images at a touch of a button.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
I've had a multifunction printer in the office going on 10 years now. It was a neat bit of kit back in the day -- print, copy, scan, fax -- when printing over WiFi felt a bit like magic. It's seen better days though and an upgrade's well overdue. This HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 looks like it ticks all the same boxes: print, copy, scan, and fax. (Really? Does anyone fax anything any more? I guess it's good to know the facility's there, just in case.) Printing over WiFi is more-or- less standard these days.
HP OfficeJet Pro 8730
As a freelance writer who is always on the go, I like my technology to be both efficient and effective so I can do my job well. The HP OfficeJet Pro 8730 Inkjet Printer ticks all the boxes in terms of form factor, performance and user interface.
Windows 10 for Business / Dell XPS 13
I'd happily recommend this touchscreen laptop and Windows 10 as a great way to get serious work done at a desk or on the road.
Windows 10 / HP Spectre x360
Ultimately, I think the Windows 10 environment is excellent for me as it caters for so many different uses. The inclusion of the Xbox app is also great for when you need some downtime too!
Windows 10 / Lenovo Yoga 910
For me, the Xbox Play Anywhere is a great new feature as it allows you to play your current Xbox games with higher resolutions and better graphics without forking out extra cash for another copy. Although available titles are still scarce, but I'm sure it will grow in time.

Michael Mcculloch,
What would you like to know about Daniel Penty Wheeler?He was my grandfather.My Dad and Mom currently live in Tishomingo.Yes, my grandfather was in law enforcement for many years.He began as a Deputy US Marshall around 1903 for Oklahoma I.T. (Indian Territory)then when Oklahoma became a state in 1907 in became the City Marshall for Tishomingo.He had a whole staff of three. He spent many years as City Marshall, but in later years he became the Under Sheriff for Johnston Co. under Sheriff Everett Stewart then shortly before retirement he spent time as the jailer for Johnston Co. He married my grandmother, April 4, 1931, her name was Marie Owen.
Unfortunately, my parents are still living in the 19th Century when it comes to the Internet or PC's so any information you might like to inquire about can be sent to my email address and I will make sure they receive it.
I hope this information helps you.

| Crystia chapter 7 . 9/23/2012
Hey, I thought this was okay. It's a really interesting idea. :)
Umm suggestion? Maybe some more description between the dialogue. Practically the entire chapter was dialogue; it'd be nice to know the tone of the voices, their facial expressions, their surroundings, etc.
Aww, Kaiba wants to make up. That'd be cute if Kaiba were cute...which he's not. But flowers do seem a bit feminine for Seto Kaiba. I just can't see him giving someone flowers, OR apologizing straight out. I thought the car would be a good idea, though- ya know, give Joey a car and have the 'apology' be 'implied'. And then Joey gets mad cuz he hates charity or whatnot. I dunno.
Ah well, sorry, I got carried away there. Unusual plot, though, so I'm curious to see where this goes.
Thanks for posting!

Ummm not a huge deal, but your grammar for the first five chapters (especially for the quotations) could use some work...It really improved in the sixth chapter, though! :)
Anyway, I look forward to future chapters! :P

Starting in 1934, the Shepherd's Cottage was the summer retreat of our grandparents and has been a part of our family's summers ever since. In 1954, our grandparents redesigned the cottage to accommodate year-round living. A retired physician, our grandfather started a rural practice and our grandmother was active in the community, the house remains a historic place in Loenen.
The cottage is situated on 2+ acres surrounded by trees and a small stream and straight across from the farm road into the fields.
Early morning walks passing the horses and Icelandic Ponies when the sun comes up is just magical.
The patio at the house has catches the sun most of the day and into the evenings. In summer it is daylight well into the evening and you will be able to enjoy outdoor dining, sipping a glass of wine or playing in the garden until 11pm. Always bring layered clothing since the evenings are cool. A great mild climate all year round, there is no necessity for air-conditioning in the Netherlands, summer nights are perfectly pleasant..
The world famous museum Kroller-Muller is within a half hour by car or an hour on the bike.
Van Gogh paintings and a great outdoor sculpture collection are just some of the attractions. <www.treks.org/06hub_huntinglodge.htm>
The Hubertus Slot is built by Berlage and is a national architectural treasure open to the public. Also in the Park Hoge Veluwe is the first underground museum called Museonder ("Museunder")
Fascinating for children and adults alike.
There is a wonderful swimming pool very close by,
In the Netherlands the job of shepherd was reinstated and walking around the woods and moors, you are likely to meet a herd of sheep with the dogs and shepherd doing their work.
A totally different experience can be had by WW2 history buffs visiting Arnhem. There are many WW2 sites to visit. Meanwhile Arnhem is a very sophisticated city 20 minutes by car from Loenen for museums, dining, theaters and movie theaters. It is the home of some great higher cultural education institutions and plays host to one go the best Fashion shows, Theater, Dance and Fine Art. this all makes for a city with young people, cafe's and great shopping in little boutiques.
Loenen is centrally located to visit both Holland and Germany and Belgium.
By car it is just under one hour or to Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam. Brussels, Cologne and frankfort are within the 3 hour range and Paris is a mere 5 hours by car. Of course all these places can be visited by train. Loenen can function as a base for a larger European trip.
It is a wonderful place for optimally 2-4 people of any age, with plenty to do for every-one.
Owner info
Year Purchased: 1934
About the owner: Our grandfather was a doctor in the small city of Bloemendaal and enjoyed traveling to the rural regions of the Netherlands with his young family for summer vacations. Our father's youthful summers were spent in the cottage and during the war years from 1940-45 he and his friends would ride their bicycles from the city of Deventer to the secluded village of Loenen because food was still plentiful on the farms surrounding the cottage. 1954, the old cottage was razed and a simple, sturdy house was built on the foundations of the old. Our grandmother lived there when we were small children and we would venture out into the fields and woods that seemed to stretch on to infinity. The house is my memory of home in the Netherlands from my youth and it is a pleasure to take care of it. It is not only a good memory but a very special place in the modern world with it's fast pace; this cottage carries the good of the old which is so necessary in the present, a place to retreat to with privacy and the possibility to reconnect with daily life in the city immediately. As a economist and art dealer, I enjoy the peace and quiet and opportunity to connect with people who will enjoy this cottage as much as I do.
Why the Owner Chose Bosgebied Loenen, Loenen, Netherlands:
For dreamers and lovers of nature, for partners or families, the Shepherd's Cottage is an idyllic retreat to the 'hissing of summer lawns' and the cool shade of tall trees. The cottage is a unique little building with the original thatched food, a collection of eclectic heirlooms and other pieces of antique furniture; no Ikea furniture to be found anywhere. The 2+ acres are in town but the house is enveloped in the greenery and protected and private. Looking out over the meadow in the back of the house with the trees surrounding the land bordered by a little stream, it is an adventure for kids and one does not have to leave the premises to have a great day. There are plenty of spots to put your chair and read a book or your Kindle (wifi available of course), there are bikes in the shed, although for longer trips it is recommended to rent a good bike in town.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage:
The cottage is a short walk to the requisite amenities but far removed from the hurly-burly of daily life.

Mão Morta were the band most likely to become the Swans' Portuguese followers and brethren. Even their formation is reportedly due to a tip-off given to Joaquim Pinto by Swans' bassist Harry Crosby, when Pinto attended a Swans concert in Berlin. Like their American favorites, the European crew pursue the search for the scarcest alternative sounds composed with dark experimentation and shadowy lyrics. Some critics choose to label the group as "inspired by Nick Cave's first strains"; nevertheless

Downlite Partners with brrr° for Bedding Line
December 12, 2016,
MASON, Ohio-Downlite has signed a license agreement with brrr° for a collection of bedding to be made using the company's proprietary cooling textiles.
The line will consist of sheets, pillowcases, pillow protectors and other unspecified products. It is slated to launch at the New York Home Fashions Market in March.
Developed and founded by Tosha Hays and Mary-Cathryn Kolb in 2014, the brrr° technology is woven directly into the fiber of its moisture-wicking fabrics, enabling them to feel permanently cool against one's skin. A chemical-free compound inside the fiber reflects heat and moves it away from the skin, while air flow through the fabric returns it to its coolest state.
Retail pricing, targeted channels of distribution and an expected launch date for the collection at retail are still being determined.

No self-respecting Spanish gets out of bed before midday on a Saturday. All the people walking Calle Larios, the main street, at 10am are tourists. If it weren't for the time of day, you could tell from the clothes anyway. Oversized t-shirts, a lack of accessories and hair bundled up or left scraggling around their shoulders.
These are not the Spanish chicas. Spanish chicas are brutal when it comes to fashion. They are perfectly bronzed, slight heels, covered in accessories, long hair flowing down their back.
There was this time about a year ago in Spain when I turned around and saw that end moment when you know two people have been looking at you. One of the chicas raised her eyebrow at the other and they laughed. Every girl knows how to read that message of, 'As if you would wear that.' or 'What even IS that?'
It took me a moment to work out why I deserved it.
My dress was too big for me but I bought it anyway. You know when you love something. Not a fashionista (I only care so much) I'd tied the material belt into a half-bow, sitting at the centre of my back to make it the right size and promptly forgot about it. Out of sight to me, but not the chicas.
Of all the effort I'd gone to that day, the hair, the make up, the waxing, the nails, the perfume, the dress, the heels, she'd noticed one tiny thing a little odd.
It was a shame cos I was quite keen to be friends. My Spanish is better in Madrid, where they remember to use the 's' sound and breath between sentences. I watched them walk away a little sad that I'd been a little lazy about the oversized belt and that it was something that mattered so strongly to her.
Because I'm a Pastor-by-trade and there's a freakin' object lesson in everything, my mind reminded me that…
Focussing on the negative shuts life down. Shifting attention to the positive opens life up.
At that time, I was so negative about my life Before. About life in the church. I was processing anger over the way it had shut my world down and encouraged me to make decisions that weren't right for me. I was dealing with the feelings of betrayal, the incredulity that no-one told me, that the whole time people were actively keeping me from knowledge of things under the guise of 'protecting me'. I was working through what my relationship with the past was going to be moving forward; to forget, to pretend it doesn't exist, to write, to be actively against, blah blah blah…
It reminded me that, while acknowledging the negative is crucial to dealing with it, focussing on the positive is a key part of actually moving on from it.
My experience growing up fundamental took away a lot of things. If I look hard enough though, it also gave me a lot of things.
For those of us who have gone through that, if we're to live the next phase of our life to its fullest, we need to mine our past for gems that give us some appreciation of it.
This is acceptance. It is letting go of bitterness. It is rescuing the present from the clutches of the past.
An exercise. Here are the good things I've gained from growing up Fundamental.
So now an exercise for you… what good things did you get from growing up in religion?
So writing blogs when you're working full time is a *bit* harder than I imagined!! It's also difficult when you need to move house twice in a month, because it became clear two weeks in that you live with Oscar the Grouch's evil OCD twin… am happily installed just this morning in a new house, completely muppet free.
It's now coming up to nearly two months living in Sydney in my new job and it's nice to be able to say, I'm totally happy. Doing nothing in Spain for nearly a year showed me that I'm more than a career but being able to mesh earning money with something challenging and meaningful is totally the dream.
Daaamn though, but getting to that point was a PROCESS. After it became clear the world does not, in fact, need saving from Satan, all the rest of the job opportunities out there seemed, well, slightly lack-luster. Couple that with some existential confusion, disconnection from old friends and too much sangria the night before and you've got me in a cafe in Spain being all like 'WHAT AM I ABOUT!?'
Frankly, it's AWFUL not knowing what you're about. Maybe it's awful-er for me cos I'm wired that way but I've heard a lot of people trying to work this out and not just 20-somethings. There was a good six months there where I'd decided to move on from Spain and really Do Something and yet still had no idea what that Something was.
The worst thing is websites telling you to 'List Your Passions' and then work out how to get paid for doing those passions.
This is ridiculous.
You can't list your passions if you don't know what they are. Which means I must've been more lost than most people. Maybe that entitles me to some level of expert-navigator-of-life-decisions status or something…
With that title in mind, here's my thoughts on how to Find Your Way when you're just totally firkin' lost.
1. Embrace Jealousy
I'm not jealous of the Prime Minister or a Scuba Diver instructor or a Fashion Stylist even though all of those jobs are pretty cool. I'm only ever jealous of people with their own businesses or in consulting. Jealousy is a clue to what you want in life, so ask yourself who you're jealous of and start channeling that evil greeness somewhere productive.
2. One Step At A Time, Don't Worry About Where It Will Lead
I found a business I totally loved around November-ish and noticed that the founder was speaking at TedX Amsterdam. I love both Amsterdam and TedX so signed up as a volunteer and used it as an opportunity to speak to the owner of the business. I met a few other interesting people as well and just generally fell in love with Amsterdam. If I hadn't taken the one I did in Sydney, the fall-back plan was to go to Amsterdam. The more you know, the more secure you'll feel in your options.
3. Take The Shot
Now's the time to take a shot at all those things you thought you were never good enough for. Possibly you'll find out you're not good enough for them. No stress. At least you know now and you won't be on your death bed all like 'If only I had…'. I applied for those management consulting roles I've always known I wasn't qualified for. The rejection was bitter sweet.
4. Notice how you feel
After researching design agencies I felt bored. After researching a business concept I felt tired. After researching Innovation Consultancies I was jumping through my hallway to grab my laptop for more reading over cooking a chicken risotto. Picking a direction to follow ain't something you wanna do with your head. It's all about the heart so just listen hard, then go with it.
On the other hand, if you find you're feeling constantly depressed about Getting Onto Something or keep putting it off, you have to ask yourself why? I feel like that with this blog sometimes – there's lots of should've done last year to make it 'Popular' but I just didn't. I'm not a lazy person so to me that was a sign that this is a hobby and not a profession. You never know what letting go will open up…
5. It's. So. Easy. To. Talk. To. People.
I don't know if we're just on the cusp of this socially connected world and so people are more open to approaches from random strangers they don't know. Perhaps in a few years it will become such common practice that people get over it and stop saying yes. But right now, it's totally possible to LinkedIn message any person you come across in an article and ask them if you're able to catch up for coffee.
You don't need to talk to the person doing what you want to be doing in 10 years. Just the person doing what you might like to do tomorrow. An analyst or design strategist is quite flattered to get a request to be taken out for coffee to talk about themselves and give advice.
6. It's sickening.
On coming back from my visit to Amsterdam stalking said Business Founder, I mentioned to my friend that it hadn't gone as far as I'd thought it would go, aka being offered an internship or even being able to see their offices. When he told me I had to mention I was looking for opportunities I wanted to vomit in my spaghetti carbonara. I'd just wanted to have a nice conversation without any soliciting.
This is just something you have to get better at. The best way to get comfortable with it is to see someone else do it. I saw a young girl do this at a workshop, looking for an internship. When you're honest and intentional about your search, people understand that you're not trying to screw them over and will connect you.
7. Ask for help
Everyone knows someone who knows someone who can help you. Now's the time to ask for advice from people you only met once or twice. Anyone up a particular career ladder totally gets it and is more than willing to help out. The number of coffees and lunches I bought… the greatest value in these conversations was not necessarily connections but the way they allowed me to frame my experience and skills for the industry I wanted to get into. Each conversation refined My Story until I was sitting in front of my current boss, confidently spurting off the couple of lines that demonstrated my worth.
8. Give Your Heart A Break
It's not the effort involved in searching that tires you out – it's just living with the constant uncertainty. Don't let yourself get so fatigued that you just take whatever's in front of you rather than keep going for the dream. Give yourself a break every now and again so you've got the energy to keep pushing for the Best.
My greatest realisation is that these things take time. I used to be time's worst enemy and now I'm it's biggest friend. Relax into time, do what you can, follow the leads, give it your best and eventually opportunity will collide with your preparation to give you what you were looking for.Read More

Britain's struggling manufacturing sector may finally have begun emerging from recession, new data revealed yesterday, with businesses reporting the strongest increase in new orders for six years.
The Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply's purchasing managers' index (PMI) reached 53.7 last month, up from 49.9 in September – a reading above 50 signals growth rather than contraction – one of its biggest ever rebounds. The performance of the index, which is calculated on the basis of manufacturers' reports about their orders, production, employment and inventory, prompted a positive reaction from analysts.
David Noble, chief executive of Cips, said: "Manufacturing has turned a corner and is starting to pull itself out of recession, though the sector has been so hard hit it will be a long time before it returns to its previous level."
The figures will also buoy the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, which begins its monthly two-day meeting tomorrow. The MPC is expected to announce a rise in the size of the Bank's programme of quantitative easing following the disappointing GDP figures announced in October, which revealed that the UK remains in recession.
Colin Ellis, an economist at Daiwa Securities, said the upbeat data on manufacturing would give the MPC pause for thought, though he still expects the QE programme to be extended from £175bn to £225bn. Mr Ellis warned that some caution needed to be applied to the PMI data, because it had wrongly given more optimistic signals in recent months.
"We would normally put considerable weight on this data, but in recent months the PMIs have diverged significantly from the official ONS data," he said. "These surveys suggested that the UK exited recession in May, and we all know how that has turned out so far."
Howard Archer, an economist at IHS Global Insight, said manufacturers had received a genuine boost from the depreciation of sterling, which has aided exports, as well as the sharp reductions in stock levels they have already made.
"The survey raises hopes the industrial sector will expand in the fourth quarter for the first time in two years, helping the overall economy to finally return to growth," Dr Archer said.
However, Jeegar Kakkad, a senior economist at the EEF, the manufacturers' organisation, warned against complacency. "The fourth quarter was always going to be better than the rest of the year, and with the fiscal stimulus set to be withdrawn in January, the dangers of a double dip are still very real," he said.

Thanks for your interest in volunteering for Reading Camp! We rely on volunteers to help make a difference in the lives of kids.
Volunteer applications must be submitted by April 15, 2017 in order to allow time for background checks to be completed. All volunteers must apply to participate each year, regardless of past Reading Camp experience.
In order that we may provide the camp at no charge to all campers, we must ask the volunteers of overnight camps to cover the cost for their room and board at camp and background check, much like what is done for mission trips. The fee includes all meals for the week.
We understand that this amount may be more than you can afford, and we do not want it to be a stumbling block to you volunteering with us. Please contact our office to discuss ways that you might fundraise your room and board expenses.
Additionally, a limited number of sponsored volunteer positions are available for each overnight camp, as grant funding allows us to cover the expenses of a few volunteers. If you are a student, or otherwise unable to pay for your room and board, please contact us to inquire about sponsored volunteer positions.
There is no fee associated with volunteering at any of the day camps.
If you are interested in volunteering at another camp, please contact that camp on the Find a Camp page.

See below for more information about Texans Care for Children's recent activities, accomplishments, and advocacy work and tools!
TX: Texans Care for Children wrote an Op-Ed in the Austin American-Statesmen about the importance of enrollment resources and assistance in helping Texans sign up for health coverage. The Op-Ed highlights success stories such as Insure Central Texas, a free enrollment resource provided by Foundation Communities, which has helped over 9,000 individuals enroll in coverage since 2013. The Op-Ed also provides resources for consumers looking for assistance before the February 15th Open Enrollment deadline.
NCLR, YI, TX: KidsWell grantees National Council of La Raza, Young Invincibles, Texans Care for Children, Children's Defense Fund-Texas, and the Center for Public Policy Priorities wrote a letter to Texas State Representatives and Senators promoting health coverage options available to their constituents under the ACA. The letter, co- signed by 19 national and local advocacy organizations, provides key talking points that legislators may share with constituents as 2015 open enrollment approaches.
TX: Texans Care for Children blogged about the 652,000 Texans with mental illness who fall in a coverage gap as a result of the State's failure to expand Medicaid. Texas Well And Healthy cross-posted the blog.
TX: Texans Care for Children's commentary was published in the Austin American-Statesman to promote enrollment in Marketplace coverage. The article highlights the financial assistance available to help consumers afford coverage; the elimination of pre-existing conditions as a basis for denying coverage; and the opportunity to enroll before the March 31st deadline.
TX: Texans Care for Children released resources from the Children's Policy Conference held on February 26, 2014. KidsWell grantees—Tricia Brooks, senior fellow for the Georgetown Center for Children & Families (CCF), and Stacey Pogue, senior policy analyst for the Center for Public Policy Priorities (CPPP)—presented during the session "What's Next for Families and the Affordable Care Act: A Texas health care reform update."
TX: Texans Care for Children published an article in the Austin American-Statesman raising awareness about young Texans, especially at-risk youth, without health insurance. The article highlights the consequences of the state's decision not to expand Medicaid and advocates for increased outreach to young adults.
TX: Clayton Travis, the Hogg Foundation Mental Health Policy Fellow for Texans Care for Children, wrote a blog post highlighting one Texan's quest to enroll in health insurance coverage and providing uninsured Texans with enrollment guidance.

I believe the best advise was to cut off the top of infected plants and burn the foliage. Something like that. Double headed A. triphyllum are common. It indicates a state of maturity. My experience has been that it is followed by multiple offsets and a reduction in maturity. Ray firstname.lastname@example.com

The following talks were recorded when Radha Burnier visited New Zealand
This article was originally published in The Theosophist, the international journal of the TS, October 1982.
It is important to grasp, not merely as a concept, but as a fact, that the Path is oneself. The Voice of the Silence states that one cannot travel on the Path until one has become the Path itself. The Path is the qualitative change which takes place in one's consciousness and in the vehicles through which consciousness functions.
It is said that consciousness, in its absolute form, is ever pure and that no change can, or needs to, take place in it. But 'consciousness' is an ambiguous term. The Sanskrit chaitanya is more accurate and indicates the ever pure, ever free, unlimited consciousness which does not change. Eastern philosophy speaks of two kinds of truth: one is paramarthika satya, absolute truth; the other is vyavaharika satya, relative truth. From the absolute point of view, consciousness cannot change, but, from the relative point of view, change must take place. Consciousness is identified with and entrammelled by the material vehicles through which it acts and, practically speaking, works in ways which are not natural to itself. It is unable to express its natural purity and freedom so long as these vehicles are not made into perfect instruments able to respond to its every vibration.
Theosophical studies show that all the bodies—physical, emotional and mental—have their own consciousness. In fact, every particle in every body, as a living unit, has its own consciousness, for life, functioning at its own level and in an appropriate manner, is found in all matter. The aggregate which is the body—whether it is the physical, emotional or mental aggregate—also has a consciousness of its own. There is also a further aggregate which is the physical-astral-mental body consciousness, and which is the 'personality' of man in Theosophy.
Radha S. Burnier, respectfully called "Radhaji", was born in Adyar, Chennai, India, on the grounds of the Theosophical Society (Adyar) on November 15 , 1923, into a Theosophical family. She was the daughter of Mr. Nilakanta Sri Ram, who was the fifth international president of the organization, and Srimati Bhagirathi, who was also an active member of the Society. Although she was born a Brahmin, her family did not follow the exclusivist customs attached to their caste but adhered to the Theosophical ideal of universal brotherhood.
Radha was a third-generation Theosophist. Her grandfather, A. Nilakanta Sastri, was an early member of the Society, much inspired by the Founders of the Society when they came to India and Madras.
Below is a presentation give by Radhaji while visiting New Zealand:
The Innocent Wise Man
Radha Burnier (15 November 1923 – 31 October 2013) was born in Adyar, India. She was president of the Theosophical Society Adyar from 1980 until her death in 2013. She was General Secretary of the Indian Section of the Society between 1960 and 1978. Radha Burnier was the daughter of Nilakanta Sri Ram who was the fifth President of the T.S. Adyar.
Below is a presentation given by Radha Burnier while in New Zealand:
Listen to the presention: The Two Levels of Truth
Radha Burnier (née Radha Sri Ram) (November 15, 1923 – October 31, 2013) was the seventh international president of the Theosophical Society (Adyar). Having taken office in 1980, she was the longest standing president of the organization (33 years).
This is a presentation by R. Burnier while in New Zealand:
Listen to the audio presentation: Ever New Theosophy
Listen to the audio of the presentation: The Future of Humanity
Radha Burnier speaks on The Challenge to Compassionate Action.
