Boris Johnson delivered a provocative challenge to David Cameron and George Osborne today to cut income tax for Britain's highest earners.
The Mayor of London's call came after he burnished his Tory leadership credentials yesterday with an assured and joke-studded speech received rapturously by the party faithful.
Although he was careful to pour praise on Mr Cameron, he cemented his position as the Prime Minister's leading rival with a passionate plea for Britain to head into a new "age of enterprise" and a list of his achievements running the capital.
Later he reached out to the party Right by repeating his demand for the top rate of tax to be lowered – although he acknowledged it would be "politically very difficult to deliver now" and "would not be easy at a time people are suffering."
Mr Osborne provoked a storm when he cut the top rate from 50p to 45p in this year's Budget, but ministers have made clear that it will not be cut further.
But Mr Johnson warned that Britain was competing "with one hand tied behind our back compared to other tax jurisdictions, which are extremely challenging for us at the moment."
The Mayor told the BBC: "We're getting into a situation where we are tax-uncompetitive."
In his conference speech, his second appearance in a 24-hour visit to Birmingham that stole the limelight from Mr Cameron, he took a swipe at the Government for failing to tackle the problem of airport capacity in the South-east of England.
He also poked gentle fun at the Prime Minister for failing recently to be able to translate the phrase "magna carta".
The Mayor delighted his audience with a stinging attack on "semi-Marxist taxpayer-funded Chateauneuf du Pape-swilling tax minimisers" and told activists who helped him to re-election this year: "You showed that we can overcome a Labour lead and win in the places which the two Eds are so cocky as to think that they own."
He told Mr Cameron, who was watching him, that he was doing a "fantastic job" in "clearing up the mess" left by the last Labour government.
Mr Johnson declared: "It is the historic function of Conservative governments over the last 100 years to be the household implements on the floor of the house, so effective at clearing up after the Labour binge has got out of control."
The Mayor called for the "can do" attitude of the Olympics to be applied to the economy, with British firms becoming "gold medal winners".
And he pointed to the diversity of products made in London as evidence that the entrepreneurial spirit was alive and well in Britain.
"Go to Soho and see them doing the special effects for so-called Hollywood movies," he said.
"When they eat cake on the Champs Élysées, they eat cake made in London. When they watch Gangnam-style [dancing] on their TVs in Korea, they watch it on TV aerials made in London. The Dutch ride bicycles made in London. The Brazilians use mosquito repellent made in London. Every single chocolate Hobnob in the world is made in London," he declared to laughter and applause."
Boris on... the Olympics:
"There we were, little old us, the country that made such a Horlicks of the Millennium Dome celebrations in 2000, putting on a flawless performance of the most logistically difficult thing you can ask a country to do in peacetime."
Boris on... pre-Olympic gloom:
"The buses were on strike, the taxi drivers were blockading the West End, one of them actually handed the keys of his cab to a police guy and jumped off Tower Bridge ... I wish some of the others could have done the same."
Boris on... David Cameron:
"I was pleased to see you called me a blond-haired mop in the papers. If I am a mop, David Cameron, you are a broom - a broom that is clearing up the mess left by the Labour government, and a fantastic job you are doing."
Boris on... helping the "strivers":
"As Napoleon almost said, Britain is a nation of small and medium-sized enterprises. We need to think every day what we can do to create the right conditions for them to flourish to become more than medium-sized, to become gold medallists in the UK, in the global, economy."
Boris on... Ken Livingstone:
"I don't think Ken is going to come back from that one - he just got a clap from the Tory party conference, if that hasn't finished him nothing will."al, economy."

Stacy Bromberg Passes Away
The 60-year-old American has competed worldwide for over 20 years and was a popular member of the darting community.
Stacy won the Women's Las Vegas Desert Classic event back in 2003, defeating Deta Hedman in the final, and went on to become the PDC Unicorn Women's World Champion in 2010, defeating Tricia Wright in the final on stage at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
Stacy also competed in the 2010 Grand Slam of Darts and on the PDC circuit in the early part of 2011, and was also the winner of the WDF Women's World Cup Singles event and many more domestic titles during her distinguished career.
"This is very sad news and all of us at the Professional Darts Corporation send our condolences to Stacy's family and friends at this difficult time," said PDC Chairman Barry Hearn.
"Stacy was a wonderful ambassador for darts and a lovely person whose dignity whilst battling cancer and selflessness in raising huge sums of money for the Make-A-Wish foundation was boundless.
"She was a larger-than-life character and will be missed by so many people."

common problems
It's not surprising that pets and pet owners living in a high-density environment lead different lifestyles to those living on a suburban block with a big backyard. There's less room to move, neighbours are close by (sometimes literally on top of you) and outdoor access may be limited. But the vast majority of owners cope very well keeping their pet in a medium to high-density dwelling. Only 10% found it difficult, with dog owners more likely to experience difficulties than cat owners.
We asked pet owners to identify the three biggest problems they encountered and what coping strategies they used to overcome them.
The most common problems associated with keeping pets in a higher density environment included hair shedding (reported by 27% of owners); vet bills (26%); noise and barking (16%); difficulty providing their pet with enough exercise (13%); lack of regular access to a secure outdoor space (12%); destructive or nuisance behaviour (8%); toileting troubles (13%); and a perception that the pet was bored or lonely (5%).
The types of problems that bothered owners most varied depending on the species. Cat owners were more concerned with lack of regular access to outdoor space (16%), while dog owners had more difficulty providing exercise (16%) and with noise issues (16%); 29% of owners responded that they had no problems.

The self-help book section was one of those places in the bookstore that women used to have to sneak back to when seeking advice on relationships or happiness. Now, self-help has matured and taken over the nonfiction section to become a multibillion-dollar industry that promises even the most successful among us that we can build our confidence or lean in to enjoy greater success.
Arianna Huffington, co-founder of The Huffington Post, recently jumped on the well-being bandwagon with her 14th book, "Thrive: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom and Wonder," published in March by Crown.
After its first week on the shelves, it rocketed to No. 1 on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list and currently sits at No. 6 after its sixth week in release.
Not only are inspiration-starved audiences snapping up the book, but they're also flocking to see Huffington speak at Third Metric speaking events. Now Huffington has an opportunity to build the Thrive brand into something similar to Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg's Lean In nonprofit organization.
The business of boosting self-worth is worth a bundle, as well. According to ABC News, the total U.S. self-improvement market was worth $9.84 billion in 2012. The self-help book business brought in $549 million alone.
"The book is a bridge between knowing what you need to do and doing it," she told an audience at the Paley Center in Los Angeles recently. "There are so many things we all miss because we're not present."
Huffington has certainly been present for some pretty big pay days as of late. In 2011, she sold Huffington Post to AOL for $315 million. Huffington reportedly owned 30 percent of the site and made a pre-tax sum of $100 million from the sale. The Washington Speaker's Bureau pegs her motivational speaker's fee at over $40,000 for an appearance. But Huffington's current goal is to get the word out about "Thrive." Her Los Angeles appearance was free, with individuals allowed to sign up via Eventbrite, and also included a free luncheon for networking.

Invited for Restaurant Photography
A Kalamaki is traditionally a skewer of cooked meat. In Greece it's also the name given to a drinking straw as well as to a few of the country's suburbs and towns. Here, in its Melbourne home, Kalamaki is all about Greek Street food. From skewers or Athenian style souvlaki wrapped in pitta, to favourite grills & dips, pastries, fresh salads & sweets. Sit by the window and watch the world go by, stand or take it away and eat it while walking; that's real street food at its best.At Kalamaki we are continuing our journey of simple, good quality Greek food we have grown to be known for at our other two eateries, Philhellene & Aspro Ble. We are bringing the heartbeat of the Greek streets to the CBD & we welcome you with open arms for a taste of our Greece. ELA!

text: Bonding not required for nonprofits, charities that take public money By Rusty Marks February 6, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Within the past month, people who handled money for Charleston's Multifest cultural festival and the Institute Volunteer Fire Department pleaded guilty to embezzling from their nonprofit organizations. Both entities receive public funding.But state and local officials say there is no law requiring those who handle funds for nonprofits or charitable organizations to post a bond in case they mishandle public money."I'm required to be bonded," said Kanawha County Commission President Kent Carper. "Certainly, if a [group] is involved with public money, that would be a prudent thing to do."Earlier this month, former Institute Volunteer Fire Department treasurer Ethel Andrews pleaded guilty in Kanawha County Circuit Court to embezzling $25,000 from the fire department in 2009 and 2010. She also pleaded guilty to embezzling $33,000 from the West Virginia State University Alumni Association, for which she also served as treasurer.Institute Fire Chief Andre Higginbotham said the department does require officials who handle money to post a bond. C.W. Sigman, deputy emergency services director for Kanawha County, said the department's insurance carrier has already settled the matter.In January, Deborah Starks, wife of former Multifest Executive Director Stephen Starks, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to federal tax fraud after admitting embezzling more than $300,000 from Multifest between 2005 and 2010. Deborah Starks handled much of the financial activity for the festival.Multifest relies largely on corporate sponsorships to hold the annual cultural festival. But the event has historically gotten public funding from the city of Charleston and the Kanawha County Commission. Kanawha County officials also provide public funds to help support the county's 27 paid and volunteer fire departments. Jake Glance, spokesman for Secretary of State Natalie Tennant, said nonprofit organizations and charities are not required under state law to bond officers who handle money.Although some fire departments do bond officers who handle money, Sigman said they are not required by law to be bonded."It would be nice if they were, because they'd get their money back [if someone mishandled funds]," he said.However, Sigman said conscientious fire officials will write language into their fire departments' bylaws requiring fire officials who handle money to post a bond. He said volunteer fire departments in Belle and Alum Creek are among departments that require department officials who handle money to be bonded. Carper said any nonprofit group or charity that receives public money should be required to post a bond so money can be replaced if it's misappropriated."I don't know what percentage of misconduct there is out of 100 examples, but one is too many," he said. "Lately, it seems like it's been more than one."Vicky Keene, new executive director for Multifest, hung up on a reporter before she could be asked whether the group was bonded, or whether festival organizers are going to require officers who handle money to post a bond.

Financial/nonfinancial disclosures: The authors have reported to CHEST the following conflicts of interest: Dr Zwischenberger currently receives grant monies from MC3 and the National Institutes of Health, receives royalties from Avalon for his patent for a double-lumen cannula, is a consultant to Novalung, and serves on an advisory board for Ikaria. Dr Zwischenberger is also a frequently invited speaker on the subject of lung disease and treatments for lung disease. Drs Diaz-Guzman and Hoopes have reported to CHEST that no potential conflicts of interest exist with any companies/organizations whose products or services may be discussed in this article.

We read with great interest the article by Wade et al1 in a recent issue of CHEST (June 2011). The authors reviewed the records of 138 coal miners who were diagnosed with coal workers pneumoconiosis (CWP) and developed evidence of progressive massive fibrosis (PMF). The authors reported that several patients had a rapid progression of the disease (5-12 years) and reported 21 deaths (15%) in the cohort during the study period.
Although the morbidity and mortality associated with CWP has decreased in the last half century, recent reports indicate an increased incidence in the percentage of underground coal miners diagnosed with CWP.2 Moreover, the number of cases of PMF among miners too young to have been in the mines prior to passage of the federal coal mine health and safety legislation in 1969 has continued to increase, resulting in a rise in years of potential life lost before age 65 years.3
CWP is a major medical and legal problem in the Appalachian region, where Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia, and Kentucky account for the majority of cases of CWP and PMF in the United States.2 In addition, reports suggest an increased disease severity, geographical clustering in eastern Kentucky and southwestern Virginia, rapid disease progression, and advanced disease in younger miners.4
Patients with CWP develop severe pulmonary physiologic derangements that result in significant morbidity and quality-of-life limitations. Common complications include severe airflow obstruction (COPD and emphysema) and pulmonary hypertension resulting from chronic hypoxemia and vasculopathy associated with PMF.5
Based on data from the United Organization for Organ Sharing6 as of October 1, 2010, occupational lung disease (including CWP) represents an uncommon indication for lung transplantation. To our knowledge, there are currently no available reports of long-term outcomes related to patients with CWP who undergo lung transplantation. We recently presented our experience with lung transplantation in patients with CWP.7 We reported eight patients with history of CWP who underwent single or bilateral lung transplantation. Overall, patients had no increased risk for perioperative morbidity or mortality resulting from the presence of PMF, and the 1-year and 3-year survival were similar to other indications for lung transplantation (Table 1). Given the high prevalence of CWP in the Appalachian region, we believe efforts should be made to increase awareness among the medical community to encourage the prompt referral of patients with CWP and PMF for transplant evaluation, particularly for those younger than 65 years of age.
Mean age of patients, 53±5 y; eight men; six unilateral transplants and two bilateral transplants. Bi-Lat=bilateral; CRX=chest radiograph; CWP=coal workers pneumoconiosis; ILO = International Labor Organization; L-SLT=left single lung transplant; PMF=progressive massive fibrosis; R-SLT=right single-lung transplant.

Police say Westport man raped, kidnapped woman cab driver
Police have arrested a Westport man on charges that he raped and kidnapped a woman taxi cab driver in the early morning hours of Wednesday, Jan. 30.
Westport Police working with Dartmouth Police arrested Nathan M Bird, 22, of 357 Fisher Road in Westport, for the crimes of aggravated rape and kidnapping. Following his arrest Friday, Mr. Bird was transported to Fall River District Court for his arraignment.
The arrest follows an investigation by police from both towns after the cab driver reported being sexually assaulted and kidnapped by her passenger. These crimes were reported to have occurred in both towns.
Westport Police Sergeant Anthony Cestodio said the first assault took place in Dartmouth and that the second happened in Westport.
In both instances, he said, the man forced the driver, a Fall River resident, to pull over in an area "that was more residential than commercial" in nature.
The assailant did not show a weapon, "but she was not free to go," Sgt. Cestodio said, hence the kidnapping charge.
After the assaults, the woman drove herself back to the taxi company where her employer called police. Detectives then interviewed her at the hospital where she was taken for treatment.
Asked about her condition, Det. Cestodio said that physically she is doing better, but that emotionally she is still very upset. Because the charges involve sexual assault, police declined to provide further information about the victim. They also did not say what about the assault caused the charge to be elevated to"aggravated."
After his arraignment, Mr. Bird was released on bail.

I want to step back in time and take a short look at what life used to be like when I was a kid. It might be very different from what you remember, depending on how old you are and the country you live in. I am 40 years old, and I live in Norway. When I was a kid we had two TV channels, one Norwegian and, because I live close to the border of Sweden, we had access to a Swedish channel as well. A few years later, we had access to two Swedish channels. And we all know what happened. We got TV via satellite and via cable, and it didn't just add one or two extra channels, but hundreds.
It used to be that in order to get attention, and increase sales, you created a TV commercial and aired it on one of the few TV channels available. The price you had to paid was high, but you had a warranty in many viewers. This is what we can refer to as shelf space. The warranty was shelf space for your products, and if you made it to the shelf, you made sales. It was the same in grocery stores, or book stores, or music stores, or any kind of store. It used to be that we had just a few stores where I live, and if you had your products on the shelf inside the store, you had the attention of the customers.
But, now, it's different. We have access to everything from everywhere. And…
There is enough shelf space for everyone
It's still not that hard to get attention. What's hard is that we have to earn attention in order to get customers. This brings me to the latest commercial of XXL, the fastest growing sportsretailer in Norway. They understand that it's enough shelf space for everyone. They understand that in order to get attention, they have to be creative and they have to be different.
That's why they created a new commercial, and it's been showing on TV when kids are still up and watching (I watched it during the TV show Norway's Got Talent):
I am not sure what my first reaction was. But I remember my second reaction; I was happy that my kids didn't sit next to me.
XXL certainly got my attention. And it seems that they've got the attention of a lot of people in Norway. I've talked to friends about it, and I have read about it in the media. The commercial is of high quality, no doubt about it. The actors are great, the zombies are looking awesome (almost as good as The Walking Dead).
But, is attention enough?
Attention vs relationships
I keep asking myself the question; why aren't big brands focusing on building relationships? I believe that, in the long run, a brand will get more customers and earn more money by focusing on building relationships than by creating expensive (and creative) advertisements.
I enjoy watching new and creative commercials, but it doesn't turn me into a customer. And, usually, I don't watch commercials on TV anymore, I just skip them.

Genesis Chapter 48 (45 of 47) by Harley Howard
This content is part of a series.Genesis Chapter 48 (45 of 47)
Series: The Study of The Word Of God
Harley Howard
1 And it came to pass after these things, that one told Joseph, Behold, thy father is sick: and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
2 And one told Jacob, and said, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh unto thee: and Israel strengthened himself, and sat upon the bed.
The day of Jacob's death was at hand and Joseph, and his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim went to see Jacob. When Joseph arrived, Jacob leaned upon his staff upon his bed so that he sat up to speak.
3 And Jacob said unto Joseph, God Almighty appeared unto me at Luz in the land of Canaan, and blessed me,
4 And said unto me, Behold, I will make thee fruitful, and multiply thee, and I will make of thee a multitude of people; and will give this land to thy seed after thee for an everlasting possession.
Jacob told Joseph how God blessed him at Bethel (Luz) and reiterated the promise that God made to him.
5 And now thy two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, which were born unto thee in the land of Egypt before I came unto thee into Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.
Jacob adopted Joseph's two sons and because of he did it guaranteed a double inheritance upon the head of Joseph and his decedents. By doing this, Jacob gave the inheritance of the firstborn sons of Leah, Reuben and Simeon, to the firstborn sons of Joseph, Ephraim and Manasseh.
6 And thy issue, which thou begettest after them, shall be thine, and shall be called after the name of their brethren in their inheritance.
Any children born from Joseph were not to start their own tribes, but to obtain their inheritance from these two sons of Joseph.
7 And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan in the way, when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath: and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem.
In his account of his life he remembered his br ...

Village Idiot for 17 Dec 2016, Jennifer Lawrence
By Kurt Kulac (Own work) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
Jennifer Lawrence Apologizes for Her Itchy Bum Story
Miss Lawrence has apologized after telling a story about her itchy bum on a talk show. During her appearance on The Graham Norton Show Jennifer revealed she accidentally dislodged a sacred rock in Hawaii when she used it to scratch her butt while on the set of the Hunger Games in 2012. She then said she was cursed because the rock also almost killed the sound guy as it rolled downhill. Basically the wrath of the sacred rock God was less of an issue than that of people on the internet.

Does your business have a bad reputation?

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I requested a free credit report on line and was directed to OTL Scroesense (OTL). OTL stated I would get a free credit report but had to pay a dollar which would be refunded. Of course they request credit card info for the dollar charge which I provided. I checked my credit card account and found that they had charged not only the dollar but $29.95 for a monthly charge. According to my credit card account, the charge was made on the same day as the dollar charge which was not refunded. I called my credi card company and they will stop payment and remove the company from my account. I would not try dealing with the OTL company directly.

Crocked Federer hands Djokovic year-end title by default
By Martyn Herman
LONDON (Reuters) - A mouth-watering finale to the season ended before it even began on Sunday when Roger Federer was forced to pull out through injury prior to his ATP World Tour Final showdown with world number one Novak Djokovic.
The 33-year-old Swiss, who spent two hours 48 minutes defeating compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka in a brutal semi-final the previous night, announced his decision on court as the 17,000-seat O2 Arena filled up.
It meant Djokovic became the first man to win the title three years in succession since Ivan Lendl in 1987.
World number two Federer, who was bidding for a seventh title at the year-ender, apologised but told the crowd he was not "match-fit" after developing a back problem.
Looking as stylish as ever as he stood on the blue indoor surface wearing a red and grey cardigan, Federer apologised, saying: "I hope you understand I wanted to come out personally and excuse myself for not playing ... I can't compete without a back at this level."
Despite the huge anti-climax for the crowd, some of whom had forked out thousands of pounds for a courtside ticket, there was no booing, with applause breaking out as seven-times Wimbledon champion Federer spoke.
Explaining how the injury arose, Federer said later: "I was feeling great until yesterday's tiebreaker. I felt all of a sudden the back was feeling funny.
"I tried to have treatment on it, medication, just tried to turn around as quick as possible really, but didn't really feel much of an improvement overnight." Continued...

Optically Isolated Sigma-Delta Modulator with LVDS Interface, External Clock
Currently Viewing:
The ACPL-798J is a 1-bit, second-order sigma-delta modulator that oversamples an analog input signal into a high-speed data stream with galvanic isolation based on optical coupling technology. The ACPL-798J operates from a 5V power supply with dynamic range of 82dB with an appropriate digital filter. The differential inputs of ±200mV (full scale ±320mV) are ideal for direct connection to shunt resistors or other low-level signal sources in applications such as motor phase current measurement.
The analog input is continuously sampled by means of sigma-delta over-sampling using external clock, coupled across the isolation barrier, which allows synchronous operation with any digital controller. The signal information is contained in the modulator data, as a density of ones and zeros with data rate up to 25MHz, and the data are encoded and transmitted across the isolation boundary where they are recovered and decoded into high-speed data stream of digital ones and zeros. The original signal information can be reconstructed with a digital filter. The ACPL-798J comes with an LVDS interface on both clock inputs and data outputs for better signal integrity.
Combined with superior optical coupling technology, the modulator delivers high noise margins and excellent immunity against isolation-mode transients. With 0.5mm minimum distance through insulation (DTI), the ACPL-798J provides reliable double protection and high working insulation voltage, which is suitable for fail-safe designs. This outstanding isolation performance is superior to alternatives including devices based on capacitive or magnetic-coupling with DTI in micro-meter range. Offered in an SO-16 package, the isolated ADC delivers the reliability, small size, superior isolation and over-temperature performance which motor drive designers need to accurately measure current at much lower price compared to traditional current transducers.

City of Hemet SHUTS DOWN WATER WELLS.
This morning 6 water wells have been shut down in the city of Hemet, due to Nitrate levels being too high.
Water sample results received Wednesday morning, May 7, showed nitrate levels of 47 milligrams per liter. That is slightly above the state's maximum contaminant level of 45 milligrams per liter.
The struggle. =/
Hemet Public Works Director Kris Jensen said the wells have been shut down, flushed and the water already retested.
She said nitrates dissipate quickly and it's unlikely any of the tainted water made it to customers.
"It's out of the system right now. It's gone," she said Wednesday afternoon.
Romero Valencia, 49, who was playing soccer with daughter Andrea, 5, at Hemet's Mary Henley Park on Wednesday evening, said he's not particularly concerned about the warning.
"I buy bottled water. I don't use tap," he said.
But he is concerned about our changing environment.
"In this time, everybody is concerned about the water, the air; there's a lot of contamination," he said. "I'm worried because the world is changing."

The Determinants of Food Aid to Africa and the Developing World
February 2, 2011
By Nathan Nunn (Harvard University) and Nancy Qian (Yale University)
We examine the supply side and demand side determinants of global bilateral food aid shipments between 1971 and 2008. First, we find that domestic food production in developing countries is negatively correlated with subsequent food aid receipts, suggesting that food aid receipt is partly driven by local food shortages. Interestingly, food aid from some of the largest donors is the least responsive to production shocks in recipient countries. Second, we show that U.S. food aid is partly driven by domestic production surpluses, whereas former colonial ties are an important determinant for European countries. Third, amongst recipients, former colonial ties are especially important for African countries. Finally, aid flows to countries with former colonial ties are less responsive to recipient production, especially for African countries.

Item description for Landesmania! by P. Trevena...An intimate portrait of a delayed career, an open marriage and a life led from the heart.
This is the true story of an American pioneer and Soho Gentleman Bohemian. Born in St Louis 84 years ago, he was a trend-setter for the Beat movement of the 40s and 50s, publisher and editor in New York of the provocative Neurotica magazine and writer of the only play to explore that time, The Nervous Set. Though he was ostensibly an antiques dealer by trade, he went on to become the founder and ringmaster of the Crystal Palace Bar in St Louis, where he inspired some of the best and most innovative cabaret in America.
Needing a boost of reinvention in his mid-forties, Jay brought himself and family to London to sample the Swinging Sixties, with only Peter Cook's telephone number to set him in the scene. Jay has lived here ever since.
He became an arts director for some of the new happening-clubs in the West End, like the Electric Garden, was an early macrobiotic supporter and publicist and, most significantly, a publisher for the authors overlooked by the mainstream. He was a talent-sniffer and innovator rather than consolidator, always one step ahead of the fashionistas before they could challenge his dancing feet to a square dance.
All the while he maintained a lifestyle unsullied by convention, both in his marriage to the songwriter Fran Landesman and in his pursuit of the pleasures of life. A man of many parts and parties, he resisted all attempts to make him grow up, as you will discover.
Half a century on from his formative forays into the Beat world, our Jewish Peter Pan still enjoys helping to keep the shallow heart of Soho beating and the heavenly bean-counters waiting.

Apple is preparing three major new Apple Stores for New York, with two of the stores reaching major new markets for the first time. Apple is developing the first stores for the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn, while a new store for the Upper East Side of Manhattan on 74th Street and Madison is also in development, according to sources.
The first Apple Store for Queens will be located in the Queens Center Mall on the second floor. One source says this store will be the largest Apple retail outlet located in a New York mall to date, and Apple is expecting revenues for this store to even beat out some of its flagship counterparts located elsewhere in the state. The store is under construction and is expected to open later in 2015, but an official announcement may come sooner…

With the Fall season in full effect, it is the perfect time for a grounding pose to honor one of the very things that makes Fall so special, the trees. Vrksasana, also known as Tree Pose, is a great way to find balance and stability during this season of Vata dosha. This season is known to increase issues such as a restless mind, anxiety, worry and fear, all of which can be calmed with regular practice of this posture. Vrksasana teaches us a strong sense of rootedness, all while finding the softness and ease that is equally as important for standing comfortably in this powerful asana. Continue reading

A provisional 1995 estimate from the magazine Acquisitions Monthly puts the last peak of pounds 47.2bn in 1989 into the shade and pitches last year's pounds 24.8bn into outer darkness. Around pounds 950m of the money that changed hands is estimated to have stuck to the sticky fingers of merchant banks, lawyers, stockbrokers and public relations people, making it easily the best year ever for City advisers.
The omens were propitious from the start, as companies surviving the recession rushed to spend the liquidity built up during the recovery - even if the stock market gave little encouragement, ending 1994 below where it had started. Just 23 days into the new year, the record-breaking pounds 9.1bn bid for Wellcome by its rival Glaxo was a giveaway that 1995 was going to be a vintage year.
Unlike the freewheeling 1980s, however, the motivation behind the big deals has changed in the more puritan 1990s. With conglomerates apparently consigned to the dustbin of history, it was not difficult to see that asset stripping and accounting magic would no longer be the driver of the urge to merge - at least not in public.
Instead, industrial logic was to be the new mantra of the politically correct City, with pharmaceuticals, financial services and the privatised water and electricity utilities picked out as ripe for rationalisation, reform and rejuvenation.
And thus it was. With the pounds 1.8bn takeover of Fisons by Rhone-Poulenc Rorer, the creation of Glaxo Wellcome put two pharmaceuticals deals into the top five of the year. Glaxo spoke of the need to cut bloated research and development costs, streamline management and pack a bigger punch. Following the takeover, Glaxo became the world's biggest drug company, but its market share only edged ahead to a still pretty unimpressive 5 per cent or so.
Fisons put up a doughty defence under Stuart Wallis, the former Bowater (now Rexam) executive parachuted in to sort out the sick man of the drugs sector. Slaying one of the most sacred cows of the industry, Mr Wallis sold off most of Fisons' research and development operations as part of a strategy which all but doubled the price of the shares, levering them up from a low of 105p even before the bid. He eventually squeezed a higher offer out of RPR, taking the bid to 265p and leaving Fisons' shareholders plenty to be pleased about after years of underperformance.
It also won Mr Wallis a new reputation as a corporate turnround artist, but even he was not able to reverse the currently received wisdom that medium-sized pharmaceuticals groups such as Fisons will be squeezed in the new world divided between giants like Glaxo Wellcome and minnows, like the new biotech companies which caught the imagination of the stock market so spectacularly during 1995.
The other sector where the industrial logic argument held sway was financial services. Having seen 120,000 jobs go in the last six years, it is hard to see where further rationalisation can come. But Lloyds Bank's agreed pounds 6.1bn marriage with TSB - the second-biggest deal of the year - was seen as a further move in the tidying up of the banking industry.
There was also a little local flurry of enthusiasm by foreigners for some of the City's proudest names. Having failed to consummate a tie with Morgan Stanley of the US five months earlier, SG Warburg succumbed ignominuously to Swiss Bank Corporation for pounds 860m. The level to which the once-mighty Warburg had sunk was graphically illustrated in June, when Kleinwort Benson, relegated to the second division of the merchant banking sector, gave up its independence for pounds 977m.
One sector drew more than its fair share of the takeover fire last year, and industrial logic was hard to discern in the thinking of most of the bidders. The electricity industry and its healthy cash flows became ripe for the picking as the Government's golden shares in the 12 regional electricity companies fell away from March. Trafalgar House, which blazed the trail with its pounds 1.2bn tilt at Northern Electric, was eventually forced to pull out of the running - the subsequent revelation of its own parlous financial position giving a strong clue as to its reasoning. The irony of its situation was underlined as the result in July of the electricity price review prompted by the Trafalgar bid was taken as the green light for a motley collection of other raiders to enter the fray.
They poured across the border from the north as Scottish Power launched a pounds 1bn assault on Manweb, the distributor for Merseyside and North Wales, and from across the seas, with Southern Company - America's biggest power utility - also offering pounds 1bn, this time for South Western Electricity.
As the turkey shoot continued, a water company, North West Water, was drawn into the fun and games, eventually seeing off another group of US predators to secure Norweb for pounds 1.8bn in the sixth biggest deal of the year.
With all this action, the old guard of conglomerates and would-be contenders were clearly itching to get involved. Hanson, already unloved, failed to win back many admirers by hitching itself to Eastern Electricity in a pounds 2.4bn deal. Its share price remained becalmed on a three-year low.
Meanwhile, Gerry Robinson clearly showed himself keen to emulate Lord Hanson's achievement as he watched his share price go backwards after his Granada Group dropped its pounds 3.3bn bombshell on Forte, the Savoy to Happy Eater group. When the dust settled, that turned out to be potentially the third biggest deal of the year, although the outcome remains far from certain.

text: The apartment is in an excellent location just off the promenade very close to the beach and restaurants in Luz. It is spacious and comfortable and was spotlessly clean when we arrived. Sun umbrellas, beach tent, body board, spade etc were provided in the apartment which is great if you are travelling with children as we did. We found Luz a great base for a family holiday, easy to get to surf beaches on the west coast and only a 10 minute drive east to Lagos and its stunning "grotto" beaches. We hired a car from the airport and sat nav took us straight to the apartment, all very easy and you can park right outside. The apartment is located above "Chaplins" and "Saffron" restaurants, I recommend both for great food and service.

Yes, pretending.
'I don't allow myself to think of people as superior as blindly as you think. I yield when they are, and I put up a fight when I believe I'm in the right,' I give him a pointed look and then continue 'I wasn't talking about your family, either, I was talking about you as an individual, and two years isn't much, like I said.
'If I'm honest with you, I don't even know why we're bothering to argue over this. I was about to go to sleep and then you yelled at me. It makes me kinda stressed. And stress makes me kinda hungry,' I say in a tone that suggests to him that he would do really well to just agree with me and shut up.
'Alex, what's going on?' Konrad's voice appears above us and I look up at him, arching my eyebrow.
'Well, I said hi, and then he stabbed me. Then Bas tried to talk to him and got brushed off. Umm. Oh, then I was just sitting here minding my own business, healing up and then he for some reason came and sat with me, even though he hates me and would rather I was dead. I was gonna go to sleep but then he kept talking and I got a little frazzled, but I haven't done anything to him.' I recount the last hour or so to the Elder and shrug. 'Can I go to sleep now?' I ask, looking between the two of them.
