Have noticed there is a slight salt residue in battery compartment.

Due to the survival instinct of humanity and our civilization has existed for
thoUSAnds of years. Although in the past few decades, the scientific community
is increasingly concerned about the potential global catastrophes - events with
high risk that can not only harm the planet, but also to destroy her life.
25. The era of black holes
The era of black holes is described in the book by Professor Fred Adams «The
Five Ages of the Universe», as the century in which the matter will be organized
only in the form of black holes. They gradually due to quantum processes of
radiation absorbed activity will get rid of them matter. By the end of the said
era will be only low-energy protons, electrons and neutrons. In other words, we
can say goodbye to our beautiful blue planet.
24. End of the World
According to many religious movements that push a variety of hypotheses,
approaching end of the world (the day of judgment, the second coming of Jesus
Christ, the coming of the Antichrist). In one all agree: end of the world is
inevitable. Scientists refute most of hypotheses, but also agree that this can
23. World dictatorial government
When we remembered during the reign of dictators such as Hitler, Stalin, Saddam,
Kim Jong-un and other classical political dictatorships, it is easy to assume
that such a scenario can also be considered the beginning of the end of
22. Grey goo
As a result of another Doomsday scenario, a man-made nanorobots will go out of
control and destroy humanity.
21. Gamma-radiation
Many scientists are concerned that an extremely powerful gamma radiation of
nearby galaxies, resulting in a very large explosion, can result in death of the
planet. This hypothesis helps explain the way an invited Fermi paradox, which
suggests that, apart from us and other technologically advanced civilizations in
the Universe is not, as gamma rays may destroy everything.
20. Global warming
This is a controversial issue, but many believe that as a result of human
activity, which arose global warming will be a factor that can be considered as
the cause of climate change and loss of life on our planet.
19. Solar hyperactivity
Sun periodically emits into space glowing radioactive gas clouds that threaten
the Earth's magnetic field, as they are extremely powerful and reach the Earth
in just a few hours. According to some scholars, as a result of the harm that
person brings their own planet, uncontrolled coronary emissions once the Sun
will destroy the planet.
18. The Big Bang
The Big Bang Theory - this is another questionable cosmological hypothesis,
according to which the matter of the Universe, from stars, galaxies to atoms and
other particles, which appeared as a result of this explosion, in the same way
and will disappear in the future.
17. High compression
High compression is another scientific hypothesis the end of our existence. As a
result, it will shrink and the Universe will explode. Big Bang gave birth to it,
and destroy large compression.
16. genetic pollution
"genetic pollution" - a dubious term used to explain the uncontrolled use of
genetic engineering, which interferes with the natural world. Intervene in the
genes is undesirable as it creates one new organisms that can permanently harm
the existing ones. As a result of spontaneous mutations may appear undesirable
dominant species.
15. Pandemic
Another risk to human life can be considered a global epidemic that can spread
very rapidly through droplets and kill people just a few hours before mankind
find an effective cure.
14. The extinction of humanity
Would look like a planet if humanity suddenly disappeared from the face of the
earth, like the dinosaurs? By the sudden extinction of mankind can cause several
reasons. For example, all men become gay and stop the reproduction of mankind.
13. The Future of the Universe
There are two scenarios for the future of the Universe, and both lead to its
demise. Some scientists say that the Universe will explode, and others - will
freeze. One way or another, but both scenarios absolutely neoptimistichny.
12. Overpopulation
Increasingly sounds threat of overpopulation of the planet. Many experts say
that by 2050 it will be the biggest challenge for us. The fact that mankind will
be so numerous that it is not to be missed various life-supporting resources
such as water and oil. As a result, we obtain a famine, drought, disease, and
endless wars between countries.
11. Excessive consumption
Excessive consumption in 2015 is considered one of the risks. Since people
consume far more than nature can regenerate. Signs of excessive consumption are
huge fishing and excessive consumption of meat. The same applies to vegetables
and fruits.
10. World War III
Albert Einstein was one of the first who predicted the end of the world as a
result of World War III. He said he did not know what weapons humanity will be
used during the Third, but World War IV, humanity will fight with stones and
9. The death of civilization
Destruction of civilization - this is the most realistic scenario of those who
predict the death of humanity. An example can be considered the fate of the
Mayan civilization, or Byzantine Empire. All the same can happen with all of
humanity in the future.
8. Nuclear War
Nuclear holocaust and the Apocalypse are among the real risks that can lead to
the destruction of humanity. This can happen because the world has accumulated a
huge amount of nuclear weapons.
7. The New World Order
New world order can be set one of the secret organizations that exist today (the
Illuminati, Freemasons, Zionists, etc.). Today they are under the control of
society, but may in the future become more powerful and their dogmas and actions
lead humanity to slavery and the service of evil.
6. The Malthusian trap
The essence of the Malthusian catastrophe by Thomas Malta, the author of "An
Essay on the Principle of Population" (1798), that in the future the population
will surpass the growth and opportunities of the agricultural sector of the
economy and stability. Then will decline and depopulation, and there will be a
5. alien Invasion
This theory has existed since antiquity, and most (if not all) have seen
countless films in which one Sunny afternoon some alien civilization conquer the
planet and try to destroy life on it. In the near future this will not happen,
but it is possible to happen someday.
4. Transhumanism
Transhumanism - an international cultural and intellectual past few years, the
aim of which is the understanding of the great transformations in the role of
technology and improve the quality of the material, physical and mental spheres
of human life. Although it sounds great, but as a result of information and
technological revolution mankind can suffer.
3. Technological Singularity
Experts use the term "technological singularity" to describe a hypothetical
scenario in which rapid technological progress will play havoc with humanity,
which will create artificial intelligence and die, having lost over the clones
and robots control.
2. Mutual Assured Destruction
The concept of "mutual assured destruction" refers to the global use of weapons
for mass destruction of people and the planet. This is a real scenario, if we
estimate the current political and military situation in the world.
1. Kinetic bombing
Those who watched the movie "Die Another Day", know that the kinetic strike can
destroy life on the planet. If you have not seen the movie, then imagine the
development of space weapons that could destroy all that is in the world for a
couple of seconds.

Naida: talkMature
"Elena talk to me" I say walking into the bathroom. "You know if you just tell me what the guys look like I can go down there and just rip out their throats, nice for me and we'd be safe" I said in a slightly joking way but her and I knew I was serious. I could so easily kill them with my speed and my strength." No I need everyone to stay safe I'm not sure if those guns will affect you but I can't take the risk" She replies "You should go to bed I'll tell you my ideas when you wake up" I said and lead her to a bed. She didn't know what I was about to do would save all their lives as well as betraying her.
I walked into the room where everyone was fighting and shouted "Silence! Elena is sleeping and I need to talk to all of you" They huddled around here and I quietly whispered my plan to them "Mitchell we will take out the ones with guns in fact we take out everyone in the room rip their throats out I don't care we can build up our strength by doing this, Aphrodite pick Elena up and trasport you 2 into the forests I've already checked its clear and the rest of you escape into the forest through the window while Mitchell and I are busy, .....

"Keeps getting better..."
Her mysteries are wonderfully detailed. Her character cast grows broader and more real with each book in the series. They are very realistic people facing real problems, people that you like and want to see succeed.
"Outstanding Characters"
The mystery in this book is an intriguing one, as are the others in the series. But what makes Griffiths books most enjoyable are the very real - warts and all - characters who make up her cast. In the ability of these flawed people to face the issues in life with dignity and just the right touch of humor lies the real charm of these stories. Hooray for Grffiths. She has provided me many hours of enjoyment.
"Not really investigated by Ruth"
I started the series with this book. And I will give it a go with book one, but I was disappointed. It's called a Ruth Galloway investigation, but she barely investigates anything, and doesn't know what is going on outside her egocentric world most of the time. it's generally accepted that the title character in a mystery book is going to be in the middle of all the action, or fully immersed in finding out what happened, but you're not going to get that with this book. I am hoping that this is an abberation in the series.
"Worth the money and the time....."
I love Ms. Griffith's writing style. She continually moves the listener through the story by maintaining a present tense narrative. She has also given us a gifted heroine who is not gorgeous or self-assured, but who has a fulfilling life in each stage she grows through. Ruth Galloway is quiet, reticent, caring and respectful of her friends and associates who, in turn, are quick to help her with her investigations and sometimes her personal life. I've enjoyed all 4 books in the series and am now required to wait for the 5th to be published.
I like to read, but I am too often too tired. Audiobooks give me the chance to listen to stories on my way to work or on my break.
"Excellent, entertaining!"
I highly recommend this series because the protagonist seems very real with flaws, hopes, dreams, and fears like the rest of us.
"Enjoyed it but too much paranormal"
I like the hints of spiritual manifestation in the Ruth Galloway series, but this one went over the top with the Dreamtime journey. The murder mystery was complex enough to be enjoyable and the characters continue to be just neurotic enough. But more archaeology, less paranormal.
No. I have not read Ms Griffiths previous books, nor could I finish this one. It is rare that I will put a book down before completion, but there was nothing - not the characters, nor story, nor narration, that held my interest. I selected this book because the prior reviews were positive and the Audible Summary was intriguing and similar to other favorite series of the mystery genre by Louise Penny and Jacqueline Winspear. Those series feature principled and cerebral protagonists tackling misdeeds and wicked acts in rural and picturesque settings populated with sympathetic and quirky characters. This novel disappointed on all counts.
I have already started Secret Daughter by Silpi Samaya Gowda. This is a totally different, but favorite genre - the complex, sweeping historical fiction set in distant and mysterious locales. I am hoping it lives up to other favorites including Kite Runner, Cutting for Stone and Shantaram.
No, I do have and follow favorite narrators: Orlaugh Cassidy, Anna Fields, Ralph Kosham, Joe Montegna, Scott Brick, Dick Hill and others.
Sadly, I connected with none of the characters.
glass lady
"Tired of the character"
I am giving up on this series. I had high hopes with the first book, but for me, Ruth Galloway has become too much of a silly, weak, insecure character. One wonders how she managed to complete a terminal degree. I would have stopped after book 3 but had already bought #4. We spend entirely too much time in Ruth's head and she has really ridiculous imaginings and flights of fancy. Ridiculous moments of idiotic panic over nothing. A little is fine, but there is too much, almost like filler for filler's sake.
The reader (McDowell) does a fair job with general narration and most of the female voices. But in dialogue and if she has to use emphasis for any of the characters or be forceful/gruff for a male character, it just does not work. They sound hollow.
"Elly Griffiths' story lines r very interesting."
I like both her print and listening versions.
Her description of the salt marshes always fascinate me.
I would not change anything.
Archeology and Australia come together in an intriguing mystery. Rituals as old as bones reach out from the grave.
A long time reader and listener - I just can't get enough of Audible! (Especially mysteries and Buddhist texts and history and ...etc!
"A Good British Mystery"
Yeah, sure, it was a good listen.
I really liked the archaeological bent, and the characterization of Ruth and her circle of friends.
Well, I would have liked a less 'uptight' sounding narration.

As long as Romo is the Cowboys QB, Lebron won't have to worry about being insubordinate.#seasonendsfirstweekofjanurary
Maybe when Witten retires, Lebron could switch sports and play some tight end?
Not when it comes to money and business.
Ego is his kryptonite.
I have no idea what kind of owner he would be, but the idea of a lifelong, true blue Cowboys fan buying the team is intriguing to me.
Who's LeBron?
at some people still hating lebron for no reason. the guy has been 100% class since entering the league.
Pretty much this.
It's really common sense.
He plays 82 games a year.
You only live once.
Cowboys in Super Bowl.
You leave job, wife, kids, et al.... For one day...BIG DEAL!
Next day... Pay the fine, buy wife a diamond or a car, take kids to toy store.
Problems solved!
It was like Christmas was a month long because in those days the only real threat was the niners and you just had the feeling we would win the SB all along. The Cowboys were that dominant!

The provincial governor, Alfredo Gamito, told journalists in Nampula city that Renamo had seized Angoche late on Sunday, after two unsuccessful attempts to breach the port's defences. Mr Gamito said he was 'surprised' at the attacks, given that both sides had pledged to halt all offensive operations even before the ceasefire took effect formally last Thursday. Six of 20 UN military observers sent to Mozambique were due to arrive in Nampula today, and the authorities intend to raise Renamo's seizure of Angoche with them.

Reaching Out
Is there no such thing as innocence any longer?
Words hurt, a single hit stings, and a lie is betrayal
Why can't we see this earth is not a home?
No one is safe in a crumbling home
Every night I have cried over this madness
This extreme sadness is causing suffocation
No one can bear to breathe one more breath while aware that another has none left
My heart throbs with the torture that others are forced to face
Why does there have to be all this popular lunacy?
What causes others to bring humility in their everyday peers?
If it were up to me I would never bring an alien to visit Earth
Then E.T would be diagnosed with depression
Roaming this world and seeing the wicked at every corner it's like running in circles
Shameless and heinous like the devil himself
We have to admit he is winning this battle
If we don't how can we stand up against this insanity that plagues us?
In my blood I would write "why" on my arm
Girls and boys who face that same feeling for any reason, you are not alone
I too was fleeing hope,
But when I held out I found someone and that person's love kept me alive
You may feel like you have nothing left to lose, but you have a lot to lose
When you think it is a good time to slice it short when you are young and beautiful,
It means someone is waiting to help you soon
If I had kept going…I wouldn't have been here to tell you this:
"We can fight, we may fall and we may not
But we know for sure we are watched by our angels"
Those who suffer from the influence and the torture of abuse of any form…
We fight for you so you don't feel that time to take that knife
We are young….which means we have a ready heart to stop this

IT WAS SO AWESOME! Jake's house last night was amaaazing! We were all there, watching Doctor Who and eating meat-lover's pizza (yummy!). We managed to watch three episodes before Joe and Libby both got a call from their parents saying they had to come home, and that Joe should bring Lucy home. So they left....and....it was just me and Jake and Seb! OMG!
I swear, it was the most amazing thing EVER. Jake sat on one side of the couch, Seb was on the other and I was right inbetween! Mum would've killed me if she knew I was all alone with two older boys but they were the perfect gentlemen.
I've decided I'll fancy Jake now, instead of Seb. He's fifteen, which is the perfect age if we ever became b/f, g/f. See, I'll be thirteen in two months and six days so he's just old enough that it's really cool when all my friends ask how old he is, but not old enough that it would be an old-man creepy situation.
Anyway, when we were sitting there, both me and Jake reached for the popcorn at the SAME time and our hands totally touched. They TOUCHED! Like, his skin and my skin were together. It was the most romantic moment I've ever experienced. I'm pretty sure he felt it too, but he was just really caught up in the episode we were watching. It was the one where Rose and--wait, that's not the point. The point is, me and Jake are going to be together.
I just need to figure out how to see him again.
....I have a mission.
....Missions make me hungry.

Author has written 10 stories for Inuyasha.
Um, hello! I've been a reader of FanFiction for quite some time, however, I decided to make an account and start writing some fanfics of my own! So bear with me as I figure out the site and try to balance my schedule to give updates and actually start stories! (As well as figuring out exactly what I should put on my profile--as for now, I'm at a loss!)
1. Unexpected - May Not Continue; Still Deciding - AU. Not long before her 18th birthday, Kagome finds herself trapped in the past. When she meets a cold taiyoukai who warns her against removing Inuyasha from the sacred tree and then disappears, she doesn't know what to believe. Will their paths cross again?
2. As It Should Be - In Progress - CU. When Kagome makes her wish on the Shikon No Tama, her life is turned upside down. Suddenly back in her own time, no one remembers her adventures to the Feudal Era...except her, and the most unlikely member of her past: the cold-hearted taiyoukai.
3. Figurine - Complete - CU. Six years after the well closed up, Kagome finds herself working at her grandfather's shop. After spotting her intricate carvings, a young man becomes a regular and a good friend--who happens to have a striking resemblance to a certain wolf youkai.
4. Mutual - Complete - CU. When Kagome finds Inuyasha with Kikyo again, his reaction takes her by surprise, and it makes a world of difference.
5. Twisted Fate - Complete - CU. People aren't born evil...and every villain has a story. A detailed story about how Onigumo became Naraku in 12 parts, plus an epilogue.
6. Conquered - In Progress - CU. Kagome has to care for her greatest enemy in the hospital, and can't help but hold a grudge. How Sesshoumaru and Kagome have to overcome their differences.
7. Sweet Sensations - In Progress - AU. When Kagome and Sesshoumaru get stuck together as partners in their cooking class, something cooks up between the two of them.
8. Willow - In Progress - AU. In an underground dungeon completely unknown to the human world, alliances must be formed. How strong can these bonds truly be--and will it be enough? SessKag.
9. Intertwined - In Progress - CU. A continuation of Twisted Fate. How one girl brings two fighting brothers together, redemption to herself, and peace to her father. OC Pairing. Rated T for some violence.
10. Blank Canvas - Complete - CU. After the well sealed up, Sesshoumaru waited over 500 years to make his move on an unsuspecting Kagome.
More to come soon. I will be writing another fanfiction as a continuation of Figurine, and that is currently in the works (I've actually started, I promise). In addition, I have an AU InuKag in mind, in a high school setting.

U.S. oil prices rose in Asia on Tuesday, despite receding hopes of a coordinated production cut between major oil producers.
A Sunday meeting between Saudi Arabia and Venezuela ended without any plans for production cuts, damaging hopes that the world's major exporters will cooperate on output cuts.
Still, even the discussions of production cuts were seen as mildly positive.
On the New York Mercantile Exchange, light, sweet crude futures for delivery in March US:CLH6 traded at $29.92 a barrel, up 22 cents in the Globex electronic session. April Brent crude UK:LCOJ6 on London's ICE Futures exchange fell 11 cents to $32.78 a barrel. U.S. crude broke below $30 overnight, logging its third-straight loss. DXY, -0.17%
Overnight weakness in the dollar DXY, -0.17% also supported crude oil amid thin trading in Asia due to the Lunar New Year holiday.
"I think the likelihood of a coordinated supply cut is highly unlikely," said Daniel Hynes, senior analyst at ANZ Bank.
He said supplies of crude oil are likely to only increase in the near term with the animosity between Iran and Saudi Arabia preventing the two nations from coordinating their supplies.
"We are certainly forecasting prices to weaken to $28 per barrel," said Hynes, adding that the market was reaching a point where U.S. oil production starts to shut down either because of companies going bust or oil wells drying up as drilling becomes too expensive.
He added that prices could rebound near the end of the year as supplies tighten.
Oil companies have been cutting back, but their efficiency keeps improving. Oil production per working rig keeps hitting new highs, according to an ANZ Bank report. U.S. oil production has kept stable around 9.2 million barrel a day in recent months, despite the fall in drilling.

The SonMature
It wasn't long before it became clear that our Steward was to join the rest of his fathers in madness. Rumors from the West had claimed his ears and the whole city came out to send off his beloved son. He was to go to the Elves, to retrieve the Ring and stop the blood of our people becoming further fodder for the animals. My husband, however, had a sombre look in his eyes. I brushed his cheek lightly, causing him to look down at me. As always, his face softened. His friends would often say that I was the only one to tame this Captain of the Guard, so fierce he was in battle, yet with me, he was gentle, a poet.
"What is it? Something bothers you."
"I would be happy if it were not for the shadow in my heart. I fear that no good will come of Boromir's parting. I fear war will find us before the end."
"Come now," I pulled him away from the crowds "We have always weathered the fiercest battles, you and I. And now we have our son. Farnir will need his father."
He smiled at the baby asleep on my shoulder.
"I won't be parted from you."
"Nor I you, now, lets get this one to bed."
He laughed slightly but I still saw the worry in his eyes. It was the same worry he had every time he left for his duties, the fear that our Steward would fail to call us to arms in time, the fear that one day, the Enemy would attack and that he would not be there to protect his family.
The weeks passed much as we could expect. Whilst the younger son of the Steward succeeded in some battles, no celebrations were held for him. The Steward's mind was fixed on a small band of gold. Rumors grew. Isenguard had abandoned the cause and was now allied with the Enemy. And then, the Horse Lords, our allies, barely holding off the attack. Ordinary folk began to avoid the streets at dusk. There was an air of anticipation in the air. Rumors of Black Riders and the Grey Wizard, fallen to darkness. Still we waited.
And then the news broke. Boromir had fallen, slain by the orcs and Uruk'hai, far from our lands. The White Tower would not welcome him home again. Our city mourned for him and feared for our safety as the call went up. The Enemy was at the River, his eye fixed on our White Tower.
Still the Steward remained silent.

Last week's mayoral election in Tower Hamlets threw out conventional party hacks and elected an independent with the exotic name of Lutfur Rahman.
Upstream, Westminster, Kensington and Chelsea and Hammersmith and Fulham have decided to merge services into a "super-council". Gone are the days when "county" Kensington protested at having to share a bed with bohemian Chelsea. To the south, Lewisham, Southwark and Lambeth have a service-sharing "concordat". To the north, Camden is sharing a chief executive with Islington. What is going on?
The answer is murky. The Tower Hamlets result was a vindication of elected mayors and another triumph against the machine politics that has long ruled London's political parties. When London as a whole won a directly elected mayor, it voted first for Ken Livingstone, an independent, and then for Boris Johnson, who all but ran against his own party.
Meanwhile, the rich boroughs up west are moving in the opposite direction, away from local identity. The merging of staff and local services, such as child care, the elderly, the environment and bureaucracy, may in theory make some sense.
If Hammersmith's Stephen Greenhalgh is right, that "out of every £3 spent, £1 is spent deciding what to do with the other two", then much stripping out of red tape must be in order.
Camden and Islington are each almost £100 million in the red, not far short of their annual government grant. The combining of Westminster with its two westerly neighbours is hoped to save another £100 million.
But will the economies happen and where does it leave democratic accountability? The entire history of government in Britain is that big is never beautiful. It starts as a quest for economies of scale and ends up lumbering, bureaucratic, unresponsive and expensive.
When the Communities and Local Government Secretary, Eric Pickles, eulogises that "by sharing back office services the councils will be able to protect the front-line and even improve the choice and services on offer", I wondered if he has ever heard of the NHS. While I can see that employing the same refuse collection firm or the same tax-collecting staff should save something, the truth is that size is rarely an economy.
As for accountability, the three western boroughs said last week that "each authority will retain its political identity with its own elected leaders and councillors". That may be true in appearance but what is a democratic council if not a local choice of economies and priorities? To which electorate are the heads of these services answerable? Will the financial muscle of Westminster dominate Kensington and Chelsea?
Greenhalgh says each council will be able to "specify different services across the three councils". I find that hard to envisage. As for planning, does it mean that the basement-loving councillors of Westminster and Kensington will encourage their army of sappers to burrow under Parsons Green?
The truth of the matter is that the merger would never have happened without the Coalition's 27 per cent cut in central grant and Pickles's refusal to allow councils any scope to make up for this by increasing their local taxes.
Councils are being starved of democracy and turned into mere agencies of Pickles's standard spending targets. (He is even seeking powers to control tax-raising by rural parishes, for the first time ever.)
East London voters know exactly what they are getting in their new mayor. In contrast, west London voters are entering the valley of the shadow of coalition. They will not know for whom or for what they are voting because the individual or party to which they give support is only a third of the new tri-borough.
London is seeing what centralists such as Livingstone long wanted: that is, a handful of merged metropolitan sub-regions to boss about. The Labour MP Karen Buck is entitled to wonder at a reform not mandated in any election with its "massive implications for local democracy".
The council mergers have no new accountability mechanism built into them. They are anti-localist. They were probably on the cards from when the old metropolitan boroughs such as Chelsea, Fulham and Kilburn were merged with their neighbours back in 1965. I wonder how long it will be before the three boroughs become "London West Central" and Camden/Islington becomes an anonymous Camington.
One defence against this would be more true localism at the neighbourhood level. The Government is known to be considering parish councils in cities, promised but not delivered by Labour at the 2005 election. If Tower Hamlets can have a mayor, why not Stepney or Whitechapel? If Islington can join with Camden, why not mayors of Canonbury or Gospel Oak? It is time to revive G K Chesterton's Napoleon of Notting Hill or Poplar's George Lansbury.
The further any organisation drifts from its point of delivery, the more inefficient and unresponsive it becomes. That is the iron law of bureaucracy. It is why such desperate efforts are being made, as yet ineffective, to decentralise police and health services. If west London is to become one giant local authority the size of Leeds or Glasgow, the need for genuinely local democracy will be crucial.
The answer is London neighbourhood councils and neighbourhood mayors. Since there is no way the ever bigger boroughs will tolerate such insubordination, it will take a tough government to demand it. I doubt if that means Mr Pickles.

Kate Moss Is Keeping Herself Busy at the Pub
Kate Moss was spotted ducking out of a pub in Kent, England with a gentleman friend today. While it doesn't look like she's back with Jamie Hince after their split last weekend, anything is better than the rumors that she and Pete were already carrying on again. Kate's never one to fly solo for too long, but hopefully she keeps on the right track whomever she chooses to date next.

The National Platform for Electric Mobility (NPE) commissioned the IPE Institute for Policy Evaluation in summer 2015 to determine the employment effects of a comprehensive support strategy for electric mobility in Germany.
Through comprehensive support of electric vehicles Germany can attain a dominant position as a lead supplier for electric mobility and by 2020, create more than 30,000 new, sustainable jobs (thereof approx. 25,000 in the automotive sector and about 6,500 jobs through infrastructure building and fiscal effects).
A comprehensive support and funding strategy will combine the following regulatory actions:
1. Continuation of the existing extensive support of R&D,
2. Supporting a rollout of the necessary charging infrastructure,
3. Direct support for purchases of electric vehicles.
Through comprehensive support, a dynamic increase in new registrations of electric vehicles and an export boom of electric vehicles manufactured in Germany can be achieved. Electric mobility in Germany still has a very promising future - due in part to the strength of the conventional passenger car sector and government support of R&D. One million electric vehicles on German roads by 2020 are most certainly possible.

"The incidence of Cash for Clunkers: Evidence from the 2009 car scrappage scheme in Germany"
forthcoming in: International Tax And Public Finance
As a reaction to the 2007 financial crisis, governments all over the world launched car scrappage programs to stimulate their economies.
This paper, co-authored by IPE Research Director Ashok Kaul, investigates the German 2009 "Cash for Clunkers" program, focusing on the incidence of the premium. More precisely, the question is, how much of the EUR 2,500 buyer subsidy was captured by the demand side? The empirical analysis shows that the incidence of the subsidy varied strongly and significantly across car-price segments. Subsidized buyers of cheap cars paid only a little more than comparable buyers who did not receive the subsidy, indicating incidence levels slightly below 100%. For more expensive vehicles, subsidized buyers were granted large extra discounts on top of the government premium, translating into incidence levels way beyond 100%. Taken together, the results suggest that the positive effect for expensive cars more than compensated for the negative effect for small cars, leading to an estimated aggregate incidence of EUR 350 million).

A book, coauthored by IPE Research director Dr. Ashok Kaul, on the taxation of cross-border dividends and royalty payments in the state of source has just been published. The book is based on an export report commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Finance.
Research Question
This book examines, both legally and empirically, the taxation of cross-border dividends and royalty payments in the state of source. The authors develop guidelines on how corporate tax policy in Germany could respond to the fundamental challenges of international tax law and the increasingly significant tax-planning activities of multinational companies.
How to tax intercompany dividends and royalty payments
The recommendations with respect to intercompany dividends and royalty payments differ fundamentally. On the one hand, it seems advisable to provide withholding tax relief for intercompany dividends within double taxation agreements. On the other hand, measures should be considered that ensure a reasonable one-time taxation of royalty payments. To this end, a limit on the deduction of royalty payments appears preferable to a withholding tax on royalty payments. A key advantage of such approach is that it could be implemented unilaterally and flexibly. The authors argue that a limit on the deduction of royalty payments could be implemented in conformity with both German constitutional law and EU law.

IPE Study: Three years of plain packaging for tobacco products in Australia - Have the expectations been met?
(Saarland, Germany) The IPE Institute for Policy Evaluation Saarland has conducted a study on the occasion of the third anniversary of plain packaging. In December 2012, the Australian Government implemented plain packaging for tobacco products in order to curb smoking. But three years later, governmental data and related research show that neither the rate of smoking, nor tobacco consumption have declined as a result of plain packaging.
The study was commissioned by Philip Morris International.

Independent expert report regarding Prof. Wolf and Prof. Kaul working papers: no basis for Oxyromandie's defamatory campaign
(Saarbrücken, Germany) The University of Zurich had asked the independent expert Prof. Ben Jann (University of Bern, Switzerland) to assess the allegations leveled against us. The independent expert report by Prof. Jann is now available. As is clear from the conclusions of the independent expert report, there was no basis for Oxyromandie's defamatory campaign.
On the contrary, some of OxyRomandie's claims and methods seem "entirely unclear" to the expert Prof. Jann. Accordingly, we hope that from now on Oxyromandie will refrain from its excessively aggressive rhetoric and personal attacks.

Research Released on Smoking Prevalence in Australia Following Plain Packaging
(Saarland, Germany) Yesterday, two researchers from the IPE Institute for Policy Evaluation Saarland & Department of Economics at Saarland University and from the Department of Economics at the University of Zurich have released a paper entitled "The (Possible) Effect of Plain Packaging on Smoking Prevalence in Australia: A Trend Analysis" which was commissioned by Philip Morris International.
The experts conducted a statistical trend analysis of smoking prevalence among Australians aged 14+ between January 2001 and December 2013, with the objective of determining whether there was evidence for a plain packaging effect on smoking prevalence at any time during the 13 months from December 2012 through December 2013.

UZH Working Paper No. 165 by Ashok Kaul and Michael Wolf (2014):
The (Possible) Effect of Plain Packaging on Smoking Prevalence in Australia: A Trend Analysis
A stated objective of the Australian Plain Packaging Act 2011 is to reduce smoking prevalence. We use the Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia) data set over the time period January 2001 to December 2013 to analyze whether this goal has been achieved in the first year since the implementation. In particular, we carry out a statistical trend analysis to study the (possible) effect of plain packaging on smoking prevalence. Two informative analyses help to draw conclusions on the (actual) effect of plain packaging on smoking prevalence in Australia. First, we look at the year of data before plain packaging was introduced, which happened in December 2012. Second, we compute confidence intervals around the estimated treatment effects. Our main results can be summarized as follows. First, if a statistical significance level of 5% is required, then there is no evidence at all for a plain packaging effect on smoking prevalence. Second, if one is willing to accept a relatively low level of statistical significance (that is, 10%), then there is evidence for a very short-lived plain packaging effect on smoking prevalence, namely in December 2012 only (after which smoking prevalence is statistically indistinguishable from its pre-existing trend). A formal power analysis demonstrates that the power of our inference methods is remarkably high.

Reply by Ashok Kaul and Michael Wolf to the NHS choices comment
Reply to "Plain cigarette packaging doesn't work, says industry funded study" by Ashok Kaul and Michael Wolf, March 28, 2014
Our recent study on the effects of the "Australian Plain Packaging Act 2011" has been criticized in a comment on NHS choices [available at: http://www.nhs.uk/news/2014/03March/Pages/Plain-fags-packs-dont-work-says-industry-funded-study.aspx]. Below we present replies to the most important issues raised in this comment.
While we always welcome other researchers' comments on our work, we kindly ask them to carefully read our work first before publicly criticizing it. To start with, the NHS comment is titled "Plain cigarette packaging doesn't work, says industry funded study". This title is an incorrect summary of our results and therefore is misleading. Being experienced empirical researchers, we took care to point out that we "fail to find any evidence for an actual plain packaging effect", which is not the same as claiming we find evidence for no plain packaging effect. In other words, the absence of evidence for an effect should not be misconstrued as evidence for no effect. Either the author(s) of the comment is/are not aware of this fundamental distinction or the study's claim are deliberately inflated in order to question our credibility.
On a technical level, our study is not a cross-sectional analysis but a time-series analysis. In particular, there is a cross-section of data in each month condensed into a single number (namely observed prevalence); we then analyze the resulting univariate time series (that is, the sequence of monthly observed prevalence). In particular, we do not work with yearly but with monthly data.
The disclaimer that PMI was not given access to the data by us is standard; freedom of research has been guaranteed. The study is industry-funded but the methods are standard textbook methods; any sufficiently skilled researcher should be able to replicate the results.
The NHS article also questions the reliability because the study was not peer-reviewed; this, too, is standard in research because peer-review takes time and findings are typically communicated in working papers in order to allow for a methodological debate and to disseminate findings at an early stage. Data covering a whole year after plain packaging (including December 2013) have been available only since January 2014. We will be submitting our study to a peer-reviewed outlet in due time. Given the straightforward nature of the data and the statistical methodology, we do not expect changes to the basic findings during the reviewing process.
Finally, the NHS article questions the quality of the Roy Morgan Single Source data. We appreciate the suggestions regarding the definition of the variable "smoker" as well as the referencing to census data of prevalence rates. With respect to the data used, we want to point out that single source data are of exceptionally high quality: Its sample size is twice the size of the two major official data sets, namely about 50.000 interviews per year. (NDSHS and AHS rely on about 25,000 interviews per year and are both cross-sectional data sets themselves.) It is available on a monthly basis, allowing researchers to trace month-to-month changes rather than developments in increments of several years. Also, the data have already been used to analyze smoking behavior in Australia by renowned tobacco control researchers [see e.g. Siahpush, M., Wakefield, M. A., Spittal, M. J., Durkin, S. J., & Scollo, M. M. 2009. "Taxation reduces social disparities in adult smoking prevalence." American journal of preventive medicine, 36(4), 285–291]. Overall, we believe we have used the best currently available data set to evaluate the Australian plain packaging experiment using statistical methods.

UZH Working Paper No. 149 by Ashok Kaul and Michael Wolf (2014):
The (Possible) Effect of Plain Packaging on the Smoking Prevalence of Minors in Australia: A Trend Analysis
A key stated objective of the Australian Plain Packaging Act 2011 is to influence smoking prevalence, in particular of minors. We use the Roy Morgan Single Source (Australia) data set on minors, (that is, Australians aged 14 to 17 years) over the time period January 2001 to December 2013 to analyze whether there is evidence that this goal has been achieved. We carry out a statistical trend analysis to study the (possible) effect of plain packaging on smoking prevalence of minors in Australia. More specifically, we fit a linear time trend that explains well the fact that observed smoking prevalence has declined steadily over the last 13 years. Two informative analyses help to draw conclusions on the (actual) effect of plain packaging on smoking prevalence of Australian minors. First, we look at the year of data before plain packaging was introduced, which happened in December 2012. Second, we compute confidence intervals around the estimated treatment effects (that is, around the deviations from the fitted trend line) from 12/2012 on. Both analyses fail to find any evidence for an actual plain packaging effect on Australians aged 14 to 17 years. Several reasonable variations to our methodology are discussed. All of these would only result in findings even more indicative of an absence of any plain packaging effect.

3 Things Albert Einstein Can Teach Us About Problem Solving
Rich Hua stashed this in Skills to Pay the Bills
Stashed in: LinkedIn, Problem?, Einstein
2. "If I had an hour to solve a problem, I'd spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions."
This is arguably the best piece of advice Albert Einstein has given us. The more time one spends understanding a problem, the more effective the resolution. Techniques like 5 Whysand Fishbone allow people to get to the root cause of the problem, and take corrective measures to ensure it never occurs again. Ask Paul O'Neill who turned an ailing Alcoa into one of corporate America's heavyweights by simply addressing one core problem – worker safety. Don't look for solutions immediately; take time to comprehend the gravity of the issue at hand. Keep redefining the problem until you get to the root cause. The solutions you and your team devise will actually save you and your team a lot of fire fighting. And for all you know, the resolutions may open up new business avenues for you.

#401: Change to edit state should not set a component -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: gjm | Owner: nobody Type: defect | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: Component: ui design | Version: 0.4.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ticket fields quick create ticket | shortcut -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Comment (by gjm): I agree that the suggestion from olemis is good but is not strictly an answer to the issue. The issue here is that when there are ticket fields that are not given a value, I think we should not be setting them without the user specifying the change. I also think it is probably correct that when there are fields where there is not a default available, the field should not be initialised with a value. In our setup, for example, there is currently no default component. -- Ticket URL: <https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/ticket/401#comment:3> Apache Bloodhound <https://issues.apache.org/bloodhound/> The Apache Bloodhound (incubating) issue tracker
