Collaborating with the Buckminster Fuller Institute, alternative map publisher ODT Maps has faithfully reproduced the original Raleigh Edition Dymaxion Map, designed by R. Buckminster Fuller in 1954. The Buckminster Fuller Institute has distributed copies of the map for 25 years, but when copies ran out and the original films were nowhere to be found, the organization contracted Amherst, Mass.-based ODT to recreate it.
The Dymaxion Map's land mass colors and grayscale shading of the oceans represent mean low annual temperatures as they existed in 1954, offering a unique glimpse into geographic history.
The reproduction map is now available in a variety of formats, including 22-inch-by-34-inch laminated or folded paper wall maps, postcards, desktop maps, magnets, and stickers. Configured as a 20-sided polyhedron, the map can be unfolded and arranged into several patterns—a reminder from Fuller that "there are many ways to see the world."
Maps are available through ODT's website, and a poster version is available through the Buckminster Fuller Institute's online store.

Andy Kelly
Quarterback (1988-91)
Currently the sideline reporter for Vol Network broadcasts of UT football games, Andy Kelly was a three-year starter at quarterback for Tennessee from 1988-91, leading the Vols to back-to-back SEC Championships in 1989 and 1990.
With Kelly as the starter, the Vols went 24-5-2 and played in three straight New Year's Day bowl games. He was named Most Outstanding Player of the 1991 Sugar Bowl and earned second-team All-SEC honors his senior season. He left UT as the career leader in total offense, passing yardage, attempts, completions and touchdowns.
After his collegiate career, Kelly participated in training camps with the Arizona Cardinals (1992) and Pittsburgh Steelers (1994) of the NFL and spent two seasons playing for the Rhein Fire (1995-96) in the World League.
Kelly is best known for his illustrious career in the Arena Football League, where he became the most prolific quarterback in AFL history over the course of his 16 seasons with nine teams. Kelly set several all-time AFL career passing records, including touchdown passes, passing yards, pass attempts and pass completions.
In an April 2007 AFL playoff game, he became only the fourth quarterback in football history to throw more than 800 career touchdowns. After retiring from football following the 2007 season, Kelly served as the offensive coordinator for the AFL's Georgia Force in 2008.

Correcting skin damaged by smoking?
I'm only 26 but the skin on my jaw seems loose from 6+ years of smoking. I have quit smoking, but is there anything I can use to firm up my skin and take away the premature wrinkles cigarettes have given me?

First of all Congrats on quitting! You chose to quit while you are still young so you are in a great position to turn back the hands of time!
Now that you've quit smoking I think it's a great opportunity to embrace other better lifestyle choiced especially inyour daily skincare/beauty routine.
First thing. The BEST way to prevent further wrinkling or damage to your skin is to wear an SPF lotion suited to your skin type of at least SPF 15 EVERYDAY on your face and neck. I implore you even if you don't wear make-up that day please put on your SPF. This can be by way of a sunscreen or Tinted moisturizer or even a foundation but you must put it on.
Secondly look for creams that have ingredients like Vitamin A (retinol), Vitamin C, hylaraunic acid, vitamin E, collagen boosters and other natural ingredients and anti-oxidants that help to firm, plump, tighten the skin.
This first starts with your diet. Smoking restricts the absorbption of vital minerals and vitamins the biggest ones being Vitamin A and Vitamin C. I highly suggest you incorporate more of this into your diet and also suggest you start getting religious about taking a daily vitamin. Vitamin C runs through the body faster than any other so you have to replenish often as it is a vital anti-oxidant. Try snacking on oranges, grapes but my fave are cherry tomatoes.
Some skincare suggestions: Some are going to be a bit pricey. Feel free to look for cheaper alternatives from brands like Oil of Olay, Neutrogena, Avon Anew and Jamieson.

Eye cream day:

If you have issues with acne you may want to avoid this but I suggest at night-time you try layering your skin care using very light thin layers.
This is what i do:
First start with your eye cream and pat that gently under your eyes. (Shiseido)
Then go in with a fast-absorbing serum of your choice ( like the Peter Thomas roth resurfacer or retinol fusion) I also like Estee Lauder's Advanced Night Repair Serum.
when that is absorbed into the skin, apply a light layer of your favorite night cream to seal it all in. (Bliss or any good night cream really, preferably not one too harsh since you'll be using a Retinol serum. Oil of Olay, Almay all make nice ones).
I hope this helps and good luck!

Yeia sas! Thank you for stopping by! While you're here, grab a frappe and enjoy our recently updated costume gallery. Click the "Our Costumes" tab just above this heading.
News and Updates:
Construction has begun on the new 750 square foot KYKLOS wardrobe and workshop room! The $40,000 project will create a new and safe environment for the nearly 300 costumes that Kyklos owns. We would like to thank the Government of Alberta, Alberta Lotteries for their financial support to complete this project. When completed, the room will have wall-to-wall costume closets, work area for costume repair, exhibit space for KYKLOS memorabilia, costume displays, dressing and makeup area, and storage for the group's audio equipment. The project is expected to be completed by spring.
Singer, Kostas Mitsis, was born and raised in the village of Preveza, located in the region of Ipiros in western Greece. There he lived until 2006, where his upbringing was influenced by the traditional music and dance that is characteristic of the area. He maintains an integral role in the teachings of traditional song and dance at seminars and workshops throughout Greece, Europe, the Middle East, United States, Canada and Australia. He is an active member of the Lykeio Ellinidon Athens High School, continues to collaborate with leading musicians, performs at world reknowned theatres such as Herodion and Dora Stratou, and even makes appearances on popular Greek musical television shows. He has produced four records, and is currently in the process of producing his fifth. Kosta is an amazing talent and we are excited to have him and his band members (see below) as part of our glendi on February 27!
Kosta's passion for traditional Greek music has roots that run deep, dating back to his young school years. Born and raised in Larissa (where he continues to work and live), he built a foundation of musical studies, obtaining a diploma in Byzantine Music from the School of the Holy Metropolis of Larissa, continuing on to pursue studies in Psychology, and Musical Science & Art from the Universities of Thessaloniki and Macedonia, respectively. In addition to teaching traditional and Byzantine music, as well as clarinet, at various music schools across the country, he actively participates in concerts, festivals and performances of all kinds throughout Greece and abroad.
Kostas Papadimitriou also had an early beginning with Greek music. He was first acquainted with the lute, which he learned to play at the age of nine years old. He expanded his repertoire by learning the bouzouki and guitar, all while continuing his musical studies in Larissa. This lead him to obtain a diploma in Byzantine music, as well as a degree in sound engineering. Kosta continues to share his talents by participating in music and dance festivals throughout Greece and around the world.
Manolis Kottoros is the violin master and one of the vocalists in Stin Ygeia Sou, Ellada's band. He has built his career and expertise through academic studies in Athens in the fields of Byzantine Music and Theology. He further refined his talents by learning alongside some of the best Greek folk instrumentalists which has allowed him to appear in concerts and festivals in Greece and around the world.
Vocalist and percussionist, Vassilis Sarantinos, forms another vital part of this band with a slightly varied path to his musical background. Initially completing studies in Electrical and Computer Engineering, Vassili was first acquainted with traditional Greek song and dance at the age of six, thanks to his participation in an organized performing group. He later pursued studies in musical theory, and also began studying instruments such as accordion, traditional drum and tambourine. Recent years have seen Vassili participate in social events, festivals, and album productions, both within Greece and abroad.
We invite you to join us on Saturday, February 27, 2016 at the Palace Banquet Hall (3223 Parsons Road) for a night full of music, song and dance from throughout Greece! Kostas Mitsis and his four musicians will be here from Greece to take us on a musical journey through Macedonia, Epirus, Pontos and the Greek Islands. And, no glendi is complete without laika, zeibekika, tsiftetelia and, of course, a performance by KYKLOS!
Individual tickets can be purchased from Omonia Foods, Astros Restaurant, as well as all Kyklos and AHEPA members. To reserve a table of ten, please emaiil email@example.com or contact Chrisanthe at 780.554.9328 or Sophia at 587.334.7399. **Purchase a table of ten before February 4 and receive two free bottles of wine for your table**
We will be back at the Festival of Trees this year, performing on November 29 at 11:20 am, and we hope to see you there! Each year, this festival brings more than holiday cheer; it supports the University Hospital Foundation as well. Specifically for 2015, supporting the festival means you are playing a role in ensuring that Northern Alberta's Level One Trauma Centre has advanced equipment to care for the most severely injured patients. Kyklos is very honored and excited to be part of such a wonderful cause once again. For more information, please visit the festival site, or check back here for updates.
Heritage days Festival is right around the corner and Kyklos couldn't be more excited to be on stage once again to show off Mainland, Island, Pontian & Taverna suites. Please stop by at our tent to watch our shows and enjoy authentic Greek deliciousness such as spanakopita, souvlaki & of course the most famous Frappedes (Iced coffee). See you all there. Yiasas.
We are excited to announce that we will be participating in two workshops as well as performing in Greece this year! Kyklos will start off their 3 day workshop first in Preveza, Greece and will also be performing at the "Summer and Culture" festival on July 6, 2014 (workshop dates: July 4, 5 & 6). We will then finish our tour at our second workshop (dates: July 9 - 14) in Roustika, Crete and will also perform there on July 13, 2014 at the Museum of Roustika. If you will be in Greece at any of those times please come check us out or e-mail us for more details! Stay tuned for pictures of our trip to Greece!

Pecos offers salad bar option for lunch
Students at Pecos Elementary line up at the school's new salad bar for a nourishing lunch, Thursday. (Mark Wilson Photo)
Pecos Elementary students are welcoming some colorful choices in their school lunch menu thanks to a new salad bar introduced last week. Pecos is the first elementary school to provide a salad bar in the Roswell Independent School District.
The school, home to approximately 400 students, introduced the salad bar to its fifth-grade students this past Wednesday before including third- and fourth-grade students Monday. Dr. Barbara Ryan, principal at Pecos, said Thursday that if all goes well, the salad bar will be available to grades 1-5 as early as next week.
"It gives them healthier choices," Ryan said. "This way, they can choose the healthy foods they want to eat. When you just [auth] serve a tray, it's either they like it or they don't like it. And it's a lot of waste that way."
Thursday's salad bar options included tossed salad with spinach and romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, cantaloupe, strawberries and carrots.
Ryan said her school agreed to pilot the program after visiting elementary schools in Carlsbad that have successfully implemented salad bars. Prior to the salad bar's introduction at Pecos, Ryan said, staff asked its students what fruits and vegetables they like and used their input to help determine the menu.
"It was very interesting how many mentioned kiwi and different things we wouldn't have thought of to put on there," Ryan said.
Shelley Montgomery, RISD kitchen manager, said offering foods that students might be unfamiliar with can lead to healthier diets if the child discovers he likes the new food.
"They're trying cherry tomatoes, bell peppers — they're trying a lot of stuff they've never tried before," Montgomery said. "So I think it will be really good. It teaches them about protein, about vegetables, about fruit. We're trying to encourage that so they'll have more choices (in their diet), and to help with some of these overweight issues."
Lyman Graham, RISD food service director, said a salad bar gives a school a way to meet its meal pattern "without forcing the food on a child's plate."
Graham said that while early returns are good, the costs of having a salad bar are high. He explained the salad bar itself costs $6,000 or more, not including the fruits and vegetables provided to a school with more than 400 children.
"With fresh stuff, you'll have more waste because you only have a certain shelf life," he said. "So there's a lot of things to look at.
"For the children, if they eat it, it's good. But if it's just a waste and in the trash can, then we don't want to do it."
Montgomery said RISD has already ordered another salad bar and is trying to figure out which elementary school it will go to. She said part of the challenge is that RISD's 11 elementary schools don't have their own kitchens and some only have a small room for a refrigerator and freezer to keep the food cold once it arrives from a central kitchen. Montgomery said she expects the next salad bar will be introduced within the calander year.

Brooklyn Bus Line Gets A Real-Time Digital Wayfinding Portal
Real-time digital display highlights bus, subway, and ferry routes within a five minute walk of the location.
As part of New York City's WalkNYC Program, the Select Bus Service has been revamped in hopes to improve quality, comfort and journey times for passengers. In collaboration with DOT and MTA, PentaCity Group (led by City ID) is now integrating a wayfinding system to support transfers between the different transportation modes.
Several new features have been added to certain city bus route signs. They include real-time bus locations, detailed route maps, and a transfer map that is tailored to your location. The signs are designed to provide information for those leaving the bus, as well as information for those choosing to board or transfer to another service.
PentaCity Group believes this improved system will lead to expansion into other areas of the city. In the meantime, transit riders on other routes can visit MTA Bus Time from their mobile devices to find out how many stops away a bus is. PentaCity Group is also currently working with the MTA to update pedestrian maps in subway stations.

Bacardi Spiced Rum Campaign Leverages Brand Heritage
'Original Bacardi' shows that effectiveness of keeping advertising simple
Since it's founding in 1962, Bacardi Limited has become the largest privately held spirits company in the world; but it wasn't until 2011 that Bacardi entered the spiced rum category. Bacardi Oakheart, the first spiced Bacardi rum was launched after competitor Captain Morgan moved their headquarters out of Puerto Rico, which happens to be the same island where Bacardi rums are produced. Puerto Rico, however, is not the birthplace of the Bacardi brand, and for its newest product, and ad campaign, the company will be highlighting its history and heritage.
Bacardi originated in Cuba and was started by the Bacardi family, who still own the corporation today. It was there that the brand made the first clear rum, daiquiri drinks, and the original Cuba Libre drink. According to the Bacardi website, the initial product was aged in oak barrels and was very connected to Cuban society. Both the Bacardi family and company left Cuba during the revolution, however, when all properties were seized by the Fidel Castro regime. Though Bacardi drinks are not found in Cuba today, the business has always held fast to their Cuban roots. For their new product, 'Original Bacardi' spiced rum, the Bacardi brand has teamed up with Sam Lane Design ad has created packaging and advertisements that brings Bacardi's Cuban heritage to the forefront.
Rustic packaging for 'Original Bacardi' includes oak crates, mason jars, and a label-free bottle. Similarly, ads show the simple pleasure associated with pouring a glass of the rum, and an old-school bus and street sign calling the product 'heritage in a bottle.' Finally, both the crates and the bottles have 'Ron Especial' and 'Santiago de Cuba' printed on them- reiterating that it is a 'special rum' made in Santiago, Cuba. Not every brand has the ability to go back to its origins, but the decision to have this ad campaign focus on Bacardi's rich history proves that when you have a quality product you don't have to get complex to sell it.

text: last night i ordered my choke cable from summit around 7:30 and this morning when i woke up it was outside my door. and i went to a o'reilly autoparts store near by and picked up some of those cable ends so i could install it. first time i put the end on i stuck the cable end through both holes on the sleeve and tighted the screw down. when i went to give it a shot it pulled through. so when i went to attach it again i only put it through the first hole and once tightened down i gave it a pretty good tug and it didnt come out.

which way do i adjust my actuator to get more boost as it is a little under standerd figures
which way do i adjust my actuator to get more boost as it is a little under standerd figures
You have to turn the nut on the left side towards the actuator is self
so that would shorten the bar then?
No you will have to lenghten the rod,by moving the left nut to the left then moving the right nut to the left(to look the wastegate in place) it will pull more of the rod out the actuator.
exposeing more of the bar at the battery end?
thats right mateOriginally posted by pbstrelley

cheers mate thanks for the advice

Boost is like the thread exposed to the battery
Rule of thumb: more thread, more boost
Less thread, less boost
WHAT?Originally posted by pbstrelley
which way do i adjust my actuator to get more boost as it is a little under standerd figures
seemed pretty clear to me, and he has his answer.
That wasn't what I meant
Always wondered why the LET is so sensitive to wastegate setting.
Other eletronic boost controlled cars I've seen will have the same boost for almost any wastegate setting (within reason).
i think the only thing stopping you from winding it out to infinity is the ECU 1 bar boost limiter. I think standard boost is 0.6 flat, 0.8 overboost ? some scope for a bit of tweaking there i think, even on a standard LET.
Remember the intercooler and fueling though.
Contemplating lots of things
Astra GTE Turbo - Link Now Working
done it cheers lads
am i right in thinking you could wind it out so its 0.7 bar or even 0.7and a bit Just so it overboosts a smidge under 1 bar ? Increase fuel pressure slightly. gotta be worth 5-10bhp ?
when my let was standard i could have just over 0.9 bar overboost and about 0.7 constant without the ecu cutting back boost
ok correct me if im worng here but ive been thinking about htis for a while now.
ok sensors tell the ecu exactly what state the engine is in. eg boost, water temp etc etc. and the ecu acts on this data to adjust timing fuelling etc to keep the engine running optimally
now....why then do ppl "superchip" their cars to adjust the fuelling and timing to suite higher boost if the original ecu can adjust for it itslef if and when it detects it??
am i making any sense here
thick red - battery, thin black - igntion switched feed, thick red/blue - fuel pump, brown/blue - ecu light. thin green - rev counter.
coz it refuses to operate above a certain limit.
aftermarket chips extend the ignition and fuelling maps

I recently picked up a Gen4 Glock 17. It's primarily going to be range/any other reason to not carry concealed gun. I am looking for a OWB holster that has a locking feature like the Safariland ALS or 5.11 ThumbDrive. From what I have read, I'm not to keen on the ThumbDrive because if you pull up before pushing the thumb release you cannot draw until you push the gun back down. I know practice practice practice, but that's one thing that's keeping me away from the ThumbDrive. I like the ALS, but I am unsure how it rides. It looks like the belt option (preferable) is a low rise. I'm looking for a Mid rise holster, any suggestions?
I require a level II, I prefer something other than leather, and I'm looking for something other than SERPA.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Well documented throughout last year was the off-season work put in by Caris LeVert and Nik Stauskas, opting to stay in Ann Arbor for both spring and summer sessions to work on their bodies and improve their games at Michigan.
For LeVert specifically, the transformation was eye popping as his points per game increased from 2.3 as a freshman to 12.9 as a sophomore.
But the year and long 37 game season took its toll on LeVert's body, forcing him to opt for surgery to repair a stress fracture in his foot in mid May.
On Tuesday, Michigan coach John Beilein updated LeVert's status.
"The surgery was a success," Beilein said. "He's just, you know what with some of our players, he is such a grinder and he is in that gym so long that we didn't want to take any chances.
"We expect him to be full go within probably by the beginning of August, if not sooner."
Originally expected to be out 8 to 10 weeks, LeVert's recovery appears to be right on schedule.
One of the key cogs on Michigan's Big Ten regular season championship team, LeVert's injury came out of nowhere to John Beilein.
"The last week (of the season) is when I first heard about something," Beilein said. "Now, he may have complained to teammates or whatever but there's all kinds of aches and pains. But no he didn't look like it certainly, those last couple rebounds he got.
"It's a common injury and it's originally called the march, I forget the name of it, it's the march injury from infantry marching, continuous use cause he is in the gym so much. So, maybe it's good he'll be off his feet for a while."
Asked whether or not he or Michigan will be worried about a similar injury to someone else in the future, Beilein chalked the whole issue up to just being one of those things, and a part of the game.
"It's going to happen to some people now and then," he said. "It does happen, a stress fracture in the foot does happen, but we are really being cautious in it and it's the right thing to do."
Originally invited to and planning to attend Kevin Durant's camp this June, Beilein doesn't believe LeVert will be in attendance, instead gearing up for a very important eight or nine day trip to Europe at the end of August.
"I don't think so," he said. "I think, I know his only plan is to stay here, go to school, and get ready for our trip."

The Play
The Bears use an empty backfield set with QB Jay Cutler in shotgun. TE Kellen Davis is in the right slot, with RB Matt Forte wide to his right. On the left side are three wide receivers, with TE Kyle Adams nearest to the left tackle.
The Texans are using two deep safeties with man coverage underneath. Davis is going to run a seam route down the right side. Forte will run a seven-yard hitch, while Adams will run a quick out.
In this photo Cutler is in his wind up, about to deliver the ball. As you can see, by running underneath routes on either side of Davis, safety Danieal Manning has no other player to focus on except for Chicago's tight end, who is being blanketed by the linebacker underneath. Yet despite this bracket coverage, Cutler decides to fire a pass in Davis' direction.
Davis never even comes close to the ball, with Manning jumping the route and intercepting the pass.
Why it Failed
This was a failure in both design and execution. In Cover 2, the safeties each are responsibility for half the field deep. When you run just one player into his zone, his job is easy. Bears OC Mike Tice designs a play where only one player, Davis, runs into Manning's zone. Forte and Adams both run short routes, leaving Davis naked deep. Had either player continued down the field, Manning would have been forced to cover two or even three players, which is too much for any safety to handle. Instead, Davis is double covered with no chance at making the catch.
The second failure, execution, falls entirely on Cutler. Here we have a quarterback, in his seventh year in the league, who not only does not see that Davis is covered like a glove by the linebacker, but he also fails to recognize Manning over the top. Instead of trying to buy more time with his feet and allow someone to get open, or even throwing the ball away, Cutler elects to chuck a no-chance pass into double coverage.
We've seen Cutler make these plays in the past but at this point, boneheaded maneuvers like these will be the main reason Chicago fails to win a championship this season. If he can stop with these auto-turnovers, the Bears have a shot to win it all. If he continues to put the offense in harm's way, it'll be another early exit.

Why is it that there's almost no affiliate wp theme to be found in themeforest?
What do you mean exactly?
You can use any theme for promoting any product(software/hardware/any retail/Amazon/any PPC/any CPA/ etc.) on the net.
this is why…
there are not many themes in themeforest in this section…...or do i look the wrong way?
To be honest, There is not such thing called "affiliate theme"
Especially when it comes to WP Themes.
Internet is full of people who think they will build an affiliate website and 1 month later they will start to earn 1000s of dollars , but indeed it is more related to the perseverence and keeping it up. There are also many people who think this is easy (it is very far from that, especially with competitive areas like "making money online")
You can use any Wp Theme in themeForest as an affiliate theme, whether you're promoting a Hotel, a Gambling Corporation, Sports Bids, PayPerClick campaigns, any software and hardware related products, hairloss solutions, anything.
Those "categories" (magazine theme, photography theme, hotel theme,restaurant theme,business theme) are only for (IMHO) unexperienced users for to make their choice easier. Categories are a joke , if you're knowing what you're doing you can use a Magazine theme For your Business.
ok. thanks. I already have a affiliate site which is programmed/developed from the ground up. Now I want to have another affililatesite but then "cheaper" and I want to try with WP because affiliatecompanies have special wp plugins to import all the feeds into the "shop"
it saves me loads of money.
thanks for your help
You're welcome.

The Australian economy struggled to get out of third gear over much of 2013. But we are hopeful that the economy will finally find fourth gear over the 2014 year.
The main culprit holding back the economy in 2013 was the election. Businesses and consumers simply weren't prepared to ramp up spending, investment and employment until the election was out of the road. But the economy was also in the transition phase with mining investment topping out while home construction and mining exports were just starting to find their feet.
There were also the budget problems in the US with enforced spending cuts serving to slow economic growth. And China struggled to get past issues in the financial system. But by the end of 2013, growth had picked up in the US and China, and it was looking more promising in Europe.
In line with other forecasters such as the International Monetary Fund, we expect that global economic growth will return to near "normal" around 3.5 per cent in 2014. One of the main risks is central bank tapering or the winding back of stimulus. Take too long to taper and you risk higher inflation. And if you taper too early you may risk de-railing the economic recovery.
In Australia, we expect that home building and mining exports will pick up the baton from mining construction in 2014 to drive economic growth. And with the election out of the road, home prices rising and a better tone in evidence in the global economy, we expect that consumers will open their wallets a little wider while businesses should respond by lifting hiring and investment. Unemployment could prove reasonably stable with upside risks earlier in 2014 giving way to downside risks as 2014 progresses.
One of the main risks domestically is that the Federal Government is too aggressive in tightening budget spending, rather than relying on stronger economic growth to boost government revenues and thus reduce the size of the budget deficit.
If fiscal or budget policy is too tight, the Reserve Bank may provide some offset by cutting interest rates.
But while there is the risk that the Reserve Bank will cut rates one more time in the first half of 2014, in the second half of 2014 the risk will shift to higher interest rates as economic growth returns to normal.
Turning to the Aussie dollar, over 2013 the currency tracked a US17.5 cent range. For 2014, our currency strategists warn about similar volatility and expect a similar range (to 2013) and should see mid-0.9000s and low 0.8000s trade.
There have been numerous column inches devoted to the US 'taper', that is the winding back of monetary stimulus or the 'tapering' of bond purchases. Everyone is agreed that the Federal Reserve needs to pull back stimulus at some point; the hard part is in working out when is the 'right' time to do it.
As the Reserve Bank Governor counsels, the 'taper' will lead to short term volatility on financial markets but the longer-term implications are more positive. Sharemarket investors may fret that the days of cheap money (free money?) are coming to an end, but if the Federal Reserve is toying with the idea of taking the foot off the throttle – even just modestly – that signifies that the economy is doing better. And in a better-performing economy, spending grows and businesses invest and hire staff, and that clearly is positive for revenue and profits
In many parts of the so-called 'advanced' world, interest rates are at or near zero. And in the US, Japan and the UK, central banks have gone further to stimulate economies, buying securities from financial institutions in exchange for cash (quantitative easing). But despite all their efforts, inflation rates in many parts of the western world are lower now than a year ago. One exception is Japan where Prime Minister Abe is determined to get the economy going and end the period of deflation so-called Abenomics. And he has achieved some success with consumer prices up 1.1 per cent on a year ago after falling by 0.4 per cent in 2012.
With more money circulating and chasing fewer goods, the assumption is that inflation will follow. To date, it hasn't really happened.
If inflation starts creeping higher, it's a positive development, not negative. It means that economic growth is returning. But it also means that central banks need to be vigilant and make sure that a little inflation doesn't become a lot, necessitating sharply higher interest rates that could actually choke off economic recoveries.
Some commentators are looking at the Sydney housing market and concluding that a boom is underway. And the perception is that, as sure as night follows day, if there is a boom, clearly there follows that there will be a bust.
But interestingly the Reserve Bank isn't worried about a housing boom – not yet anyhow. Still, it is warning investors not to pay over the top and to realise that property prices can go up as well as go down.
It will also be important to watch trends like the number of people in each home. If household size
continues to increase, then the extra supply could actually lead to a marked softening of home prices.
The new Chinese leadership wants the country to more closely emulate western industrialised nations where household spending plays a greater role in driving economic growth. For instance in the latest national accounts in Australia, household consumption accounted for 55 per cent of the economy (GDP or gross domestic product). In China, the available 2012 data indicated that household spending accounted for almost 36 per cent of the economy with the government sector at 13.5 per cent of GDP; investment at 48 per cent of GDP and net exports at almost 3 per cent of GDP.
If consumer spending grows at a faster rate, then Chinese consumers are more likely to feel that they are benefitting from the expansion of the economy. And in terms of social stability, that is an important factor. Further, there is concern that some provinces may be over-investing in the cities, and those concerns are more likely to be dispelled if growth of retail sales exceeds that of production or fixed asset investment.
Since 2008 the Australian economy has grown by 14.3 per cent. Of that growth, Mining has contributed 3.2 percentage points (pp) of which iron ore alone has added 2.3pp. But not far behind is Health Care (1.7pp), Professional services (1.6pp) and Construction (1.4pp).
At the other end of the scale, Manufacturing has sliced 0.4pp off growth, while Arts, Agriculture, Transport, Education and Utilities all added nothing to Australia¡¦s economic growth.
So it is clear that Australia has been riding on the back of iron ore (as opposed to riding the sheep back in the 1950s). In the coming year Mining will pull back, but there is plenty of scope for other sectors to grow. In the equivalent five year period before 2008, from 2002-2007, the economy grew 19.8 per cent with Finance (3.1pp), Construction (2.6pp) and Health Care (1.4pp) the main contributors to growth.
The drivers of the Australian economy regularly change and indeed they will again over coming years as the mining construction boom fades and mining exports take over. But clearly other sectors will pick up the slack, with Construction – in particular home construction – the most likely candidate.
Over the past 40 calendar years the Aussie dollar has, on average, tracked a range of US13.7 cents a year or 17.1 per cent. Since the dollar floated the range has been US14.3 cents a year or 18.8 per cent. And over 2013 so far the range has been US17.5 cents or 16.9 per cent. In short, the Aussie dollar is volatile and 2013 has been a year of above-average volatility.
Over 2014 our currency strategists expect a similar trading range, with the Aussie likely holding from the low US80s to the mid US90s. Certainly the Reserve Bank Governor has recently indicated that he thought the Australian dollar should be closer to US85 cents, rather than near US90 cents currently.
Much will depend on the recovery path of the US economy and the extent of tapering undertaken by the Federal Reserve.
The conservatism of Australian consumers has been one of the big trends of the past five years. Aussies are saving, not spending. They are more likely to leave money in the bank rather than put money to work elsewhere (although more recently investors have become keen on property again).
Consumers will also shop around for bargains. And it hasn¡¦t just been inherent fiscal conservatism but the internet that has driven this tendency together with a relative firm currency. The internet has allowed consumers to do product comparisons and undertake online shopping – not just in Australia and overseas. Of course the high Aussie dollar has opened the world to shoppers, keeping downward pressure on retail prices and margins here in Australia
If the conservatism continues, then this will mean a continuation or more thoughtful spending and reduced debt levels, meaning that inflation remains under control and interest rates stay lower for longer. Retailers will need to keep costs down, together with margins and they will have to compete harder to improve customer service to lift revenues. Because simply, global competition is here to stay, even if the Aussie dollar eases further.
Over 2013, the cash rate has averaged 2.75 per cent. – the lowest calendar year average since 1959. So while people can debate whether rates are at record lows or not, there is no debate about the last time period that rates have been this low – it was 54 years ago, back in 1959.
If inflation remains under control, there is no fundamental need to lift interest rates markedly. But certainly cash rates are close to zero in many western nations, so it is hoped that rates can rise to at least modest nominal levels to give central banks a degree of flexibility in the future, rather than being forced to rely on the new tools like quantitative easing.
Currently the consensus is that the US federal funds rate won¡¦t rise until perhaps 2015. But longer-term rates are tipped to rise across western nations by between 60-70 basis points over 2014 as global economic growth lifts closer to longer-term averages of around 3.5 per cent. The hard part for central banks will be to get the timing right for lifting policy rates.
Craig James is chief economist at CommSec.

London, UK (rushPRnews) 12/02/11 — Online comparator introduces new initiative in partnership with Brake to drive road safety message
Online car hire specialist Carrentals.co.uk this week announces the launch of a new campaign aimed at driving the road safety message home to British drivers. The 2011 Road Sense campaign has been introduced in partnership with road safety awareness charity Brake.
The call in this year's Road Sense campaign is for drivers to pay more attention to essential car and engine checks, no matter how much money they may cost these days.
Gareth Robinson, Managing Director of Carrentals.co.uk, commented: "Many accidents and incidents on the roads can be avoided through good maintenance of a car – these checks are more important than ever in the winter's icy weather."
Brake reports that road crashes kill more young people than anything else and the cause of these incidents is often excessive speed or careless overtaking. Young motorists comprise a massive percentage of road injuries and casualties, a combination of risk-taking and inexperience. In the UK one out of eight drivers is aged under 25 but one in every four fatal or serious road incidents and crashes features someone from this age group.
"We've operated the Road Sense campaign for six years now and we want to drive this safety message home," adds Gareth. "Everyone needs to heed the advice of organisations like Brake to help lower the number of fatal road accidents in the UK."
Katie Shephard, director at Brake, commented: "We're pleased to work with Carrentals.co.uk on their Road Sense campaign again – through awareness we can help to make the UK's roads safer. Throughout Road Safety Week 2011 Brake is driving home the message to young drivers in particular to 'have a heart at the wheel'. Think about others and commit to driving safely."
The Carrentals.co.uk Road Sense website is home to advice on road safety and also new offers, including discounts on winter clothing and reflective gear for children and adults from Outdoor Look and BrightKidz.
Carrentals.co.uk is the leading car hire comparison site comparing prices in over 15,000 locations worldwide including France, Spain and car hire in Ireland, with pick up locations including car hire in Dublin, Cork and Shannon.
For more road safety information, offers and advice visit www.carrentals.co.uk/roadsense2011
About Carrentals.co.uk
Carrentals.co.uk was launched in February 2003 and grew to become one of the UK's leading online car hire companies by 2006.
In 2007 the company re-launched its site to create the first major online price comparator in the travel industry. Using the latest technology the Carrentals.co.uk site now searches up to 50 different car hire websites, providing an impartial comparison of the best prices available in over 15,000 locations.
Websites searched include Alamo, Auto Europe, Budget, Ebookers, Hertz, Holiday Autos, Opodo, Sixt and Thrifty, with the Carrentals.co.uk site quickly comparing prices and allowing customers to refine their search by car type.
The Carrentals.co.uk site also features over 5,000 pages of travel information in a mini-guide format.
In 2008 Carrentals.co.uk was voted Best Car Hire Website in the Travolution Awards, and in 2010 it was Highly Commended in the Best Meta-search/Price Comparison category. To book or for further information visit www.carrentals.co.uk

Operation Backpack 2012 was an initiative to get much needed school supplies in the hands of as many children as possible.

There are two big movements in networking and job hunting today: social media and soft skills.
Social media is the most efficient, effective way to expand your network or find a new job, and your soft skills are most likely to best differentiate you from your competition and, ideally, land you the job.
And the way the two intersect is the key to successful networking/job hunting: delayed reciprocity.
Lindsay Olson of U.S. News & World Report writes that providing a benefit to those in your social network is key to establishing rapport and building relationships.
"Just like with offline networking, the key to your success is giving, not getting," she notes. "You can't walk into a networking group and demand a job. It's the same on social networks. If one of your new contacts asks for advice about something, make a recommendation if you can. Send articles you think she'll be interested in. Work to provide value to her."
Another suggestion: help your network. If they're promoting something you think is solid or make a valid point or observation, give them a signal boost.
"Networking is about helping other people, not just convincing someone to hire you, Olson says. "That time will come, but if you focus on sharing content your contacts have tweeted or posted, comment on their content, and leaving insightful thoughts on their blogs, you'll build a strong foundation."
Don't treat your social network like a recruiter because their primary goal is not helping you get a job. Think about it this way, whom would you rather help: A social media contact who adds value to your career through insight and thought or the contact who only gets in touch when he wants something?

PennDOT website stores drivers' emergency contact information
When paramedic Josh Stuart learned of an online method for police officers to quickly track down his loved ones in an emergency, he didn't think twice about signing up.
"I'm a firm believer that any information is better than none at all," said Stuart, a paramedic with Medical Rescue Team South Authority, based in Mt. Lebanon, who has more than 20 years of experience.
"I've been on too many cases where even public safety people thought they'll know me, they'll know enough about me. But we keep some things to ourselves. It's good to have an additional route."
This month, PennDOT started a program that allows drivers to upload emergency contact information to a database that police can access. About 700 people statewide have added their information since the service started Nov. 9, PennDOT spokeswoman Jan McKnight said.
"If you're in a situation where you can't speak, the police can easily access your emergency contact information," she said. "It will save time."
Police in Ross, Mt. Lebanon and Munhall posted information about the program to their departments' Facebook pages and are urging residents to sign up.
Participants log in via PennDOT's secure drivers services web page, using their driver's license number, last four digits of their Social Security number and birthdate.
They then are taken to another page where they can list the name, address, email address and cell, home and work phone numbers for two contacts, such as a spouse, sibling or child.
"If we were able to enter someone's information in and pull up the emergency contacts they provided, that would be something that would be very beneficial," Mt. Lebanon police Lt. Aaron Lauth said. "We are able to track down some, but not always as timely as we would like it to be."
Lauth said officers could use the service when they respond to crashes or when they find people who have died in their homes and don't have relatives nearby.
"It can prove difficult to find someone quickly," Lauth said. "You don't think of it happening, but it's definitely tough to notify next of kin if there's no relatives around."
As more people get rid of their landline phones, it can become difficult to reach family members in an emergency, Ross police Detective Brian Kohlhepp said.
"The first thing that comes to mind is a car accident," Kohlhepp said. "We can contact loved ones to let them know what happened so they can get to the hospital to be with their loved ones."
Bethel Park police Chief John Mackey, president of the Pennsylvania Chiefs of Police Association, forwarded information on the PennDOT program to local departments and said he plans to upload his emergency contacts into the database.
"I had a family member several years ago involved in a very bad accident," Mackey said. "Fortunately, a friend knew where I worked. I was imagining if my sister's friend didn't know that, how would anybody get hold of me? I think it's a really good thing."
Stuart, who works nights on the weekends, said he often encounters patients who are unable to communicate important information. Paramedics will have to ask police officers to look for the emergency contact information, but he said he still thinks it will help.
"It's a good idea," Stuart said. "It's just like a medical alert bracelet. It's another tool to help the patient, and even to help the family."

Kim Kardashian Lands at LAX, Debuts Family "Hypnotize" Music Video
Making the friendly skies a little more sexy, the lovely Kim Kardashian touched down at LAX Airport in Los Angeles earlier today (June 2).
Clad in a sheerly fabulous black and grey striped dress, the 31-year-old worked her way through the terminal and out to an awaiting ride while tweeting, "Back in LA! So overcast"
Having flown in following a short visit to Pennsylvania, Kim messaged of her Keystone State stop, "I think that was the quickest Philly trip for @QVC last night! Thanks to everyone who tuned into the show! Was a fun one! #K-Dash"
The brunette beauty also posted a link to a newly released music video (watch below!) put together in Dominican Republic by her reality TV family, of which she wrote, "Our newest family music video!!! Hypnotize by B.I.G. Shot in the Dominican Republic!!!"

Amanda Knox Speaks Out on Murder Conviction
She's been through the legal ringer more times than she can count, and Amanda Knox is none too pleased that the Italian Supreme Court has found her guilty of murdering Meredith Kercher back in 2007.
The 28-year-old Seattle, Washington native chatted with Robin Roberts on "Good Morning America" today (January 31) to share her reaction to the Court of Cassation's 28-year jail sentence.
Ms. Knox explained, "It hit me like a train. I couldn't believe what I was hearing," adding that she "will never willingly go back to Italy. I'm going to fight this to the very end. It's not right and it's not fair."
Meanwhile, Amanda's lead attorney Carlo Dalla Vedova isn't too concerned about this latest verdict and he has filed an appeal that is currently pending. "The knowledge about Amanda's innocence is rock-solid and it allows us to wait for the verdict with complete serenity. It is impossible for the court to convict someone because they are 'probably' guilty or 'may be' guilty."
And attorney Ted Simon cautioned against talks of extradition just yet. "It's really not in play right now, because first of all, she has another appeal to the Supreme Court of Italy. In Italy, under their system, you're still actually presumed innocent until that third, final stage. But I think we shouldn't get ahead of ourselves. The bottom line is, there is no evidence. There was no evidence, and there never will be any evidence, and that's why this is such a gross miscarriage of justice."

Visual Theatre can be anything from puppetry and physical
theatre to animation and film, and we're delighted to be hosting
some of the best examples of these art forms at the
manipulate festival next week.
Now entering its fifth year, manipulate is a one-off
event in the Scottish cultural calendar, when the Traverse
becomes home to some of the most avant-garde visual theatre,
puppetry, object and physical theatre to be seen anywhere in the
UK, and a film programme which offers a snapshot of the best
international contemporary animation.
The performance programme begins with Hamletmachine by Compagnie Sans
Soucis (France). Dynamic video projection and highly theatrical
object manipulation capture the tensions and urgency of Henrik
Müller's play (Monday 30 Jan, returns only).
Invisible Thread (England) present their first ever production,
Plucked…A True Fairy
Tale, which uses object theatre, live video-feed painting,
puppetry and animation to conjure up a dark miniature world
(Tuesday 31 Jan).
Czech Republic company Wariot Ideal perform Polaris, a story
of two men lost in the Antarctic and a wait for help that never
arrives, combining physical theatre, improvisation, mime, film and
sound design (Wednesday 1 Feb).
There's been a last minute change to the programme and
unfortunately Akhe's Gobo.digital Glossary has been
cancelled. However we are delighted to present Appel d'Air from
Théâtre Vélo.
Snapshots matches-up leading Scottish
puppeteers and Scottish theatre directors to each create a ten
minute piece of visual theatre, followed by Finnish show Her
Cup of Tea(Friday 3 Feb).
Austrian choreographer, Editta Braun, has created the bizarre
and touching Luvos,a highly expressive and physical piece
which plays with the body at its familiar and most alien (Saturday
4 Feb).
Closing the live performance programme is The Return of the Great
Puppet Horn, from Pangolin's Teatime, England, the UK's
leading satirical puppet show featuring up-to-the-minute commentary
on everything from the global financial crisis to Take That
(Saturday Feb 4).
Curated by Susie Wilson, the manipulate film programme
is a collection of feature length and short films, showcasing the
best international animation. Feature films include the Oscar
nominated Chico & Rita, 2010 (Tuesday
31 Jan),Waltz with Bashir from
Israel, 2008 (Wednesday 1 Feb) and Goodbye Mr Christie from the
UK, 2010 (3 Feb).
The short film programme, Off to the Asylum includes tall
tales and visceral imaginings from Greece, Germany, Poland and
France (2 Feb).
Watch the manipulate trailer to
get a taster of what's in store at the Traverse next week.
We hope to see you here!

Fabulous artwork of Zyra. Love the vibrant and eye-catching art style.

1st Place: Microsoft Windows 7
Was there really any doubt? Well there was, actually, but any fears quickly evaporated as Windows 7 came to fruition. It's difficult to understate the significance of this release, since anything less than complete success would have been disastrous for Microsoft.
What makes Windows 7 so great? Cynics would say not being Vista, but first and foremost the general snappiness of its performance is refreshing after the stodginess of Vista. More importantly, Windows 7 brings the UI improvements that Vista only vaguely toyed with. Features like Jump Lists, Aero Snap and the vastly improved taskbar all make using the OS a more pleasurable, streamlined experience, while the new Action Center makes monitoring the status of your PC far easier.
Other features we've also come to love is the libraries system, which allows you organise your documents in one place even if you have folders stored in different locations, as well as the now native support for GPU video acceleration and wider format support. When Microsoft sees fit to replace 7, we'll actually be sad to see it go!

Watch the video review of Microsoft Windows 7
2nd Place: Adobe Photoshop CS4
Adobe Photoshop can always be relied upon to provide quality on a regular basis, but CS4 was the most complete upgrade to the program since the original CS version back in 2003. Native 64-bit support and vastly improved performance were the main talking points, but the sheer number of improvements to the de facto image editing program secures its place in our awards.
Read the full review of Adobe Photoshop CS4
3rd Place: Adobe Premiere Elements 8 & Photoshop Elements 8
Great as it may be, Photoshop CS4 is unnecessary for a significant proportion of the population and for a fraction for the price you can get the excellent Photoshop Elements 8 and Premier Elements 8. Neither new version is a giant leap forward compared to their predecessors, but they remain head and shoulders above the competition at this price and are thus worthy entrants as the second runner-up to the big prize.

Meet Ian Welsh
12 Oct
Ian is a 20+ year veteran of the human resources industry and now currently operates a consulting business out of Toronto, Canada. He is a frequent contributor to the ToolBox for HR and The Search for Mutual Success. Ian's posts are his thoughts and expertise on how human resources operate within organizations and society's impact on business operation and HR's role. Ian tweets from the handle @ianclive.
Joey Baird, Sage: You've been involved in the HR industry for a while now. How did you get started writing for the HR Toolbox?
Ian Welsh: Well I think I came across the HR Toolbox on LinkedIn originally. The Toolbox is a great open forum where lots of people talk about HR and post their blog posts as well. I contribute about ten articles a month, and over the past several years I think I've published over 400 articles.
Do you follow any specific bloggers or other sources to remain up to date on what is going on in the world of HR?
I do read a number of websites but nothing on a set consistent basis. I really enjoy getting the international perspective and often visit UK, Australian, and South African sites. Usually I find these blogs and sites through LinkedIn discussion groups. LinkedIn is great because there is a broad international base of people involved in each group.
Another source of information that I enjoy following is the Carnival of HR. That is a great sort of "cooperative" that brings together a number of different viewpoints that focus on different themes every few weeks.
What's the biggest change or shift you've seen in your HR career?
I haven't really seen major changes to HR principles over the last 30 years, the same programs that were in place then are still in place today. One area that has changed is ethics. Legislation really has led to large changes in this area, especially around government compliance. As soon as some of the major ideas were passed like nondiscrimination, affirmative action, occupational health and safety, and environmental, companies really took notice and focused on building their HR departments.
Generally employees embraced these changes, and employers wanted to be good citizens. In the past few years or so, though, I've seen businesses become more Machiavellian, almost ruthless in a way. Businesses are now prepared to buck the system and confront government legislation; they're almost more willing to take the fines and punishments if they believe it will be better for their business. In some businesses this has really created a gulf between HR and management.
The trend then was to treat any program like compliance programs as a burden, and management was prepared to go against legislation if they balanced the risks and thought they would be better off. I think this also has a lot to do with the tenure of top executives now. The average tenure has gotten much shorter, so they are making decisions more for the short term rather than long.
As a neighbor to the Great White North, are there any work policies in Canada that differ from the United States when it comes to work-life balance or work culture?
Canada has stricter rules around employment standards and various things such as social programs. In Canada, though, people aren't as close to one another geographically, and many companies operate in multiple provinces. This really opens up the need to have employees who are able to work remotely and balance their priorities on their own.
We're having a Facebook contest and giving a year's worth of free HR training by asking followers to share their most essential HR management tip. We have to know, what's yours?
I'd say that human resource professionals need to really put themselves in the other person's shoes that they're dealing with. They need to be practical and observant; they need to provide the value that is needed within businesses. They need to understand the issues and attack the problem, not pull some off-the-shelf program and try to fix issues that way.
I'm sure we have some HR readers who toy with the idea of starting a blog. Do you have any tips for newbie HR bloggers?
The most important thing is trying to write in a natural style that the blogger can maintain. Don't write in flowery language with large words to just try to sound educated. Be yourself and use your own voice. Also, bloggers have to engage readers and introduce questions and ask for comments.
I actually wrote a couple of posts about this in the early stages of writing my blog. One was written about three months after I started so it really does have newcomer perspectives. The other was after my first year; it reinforces some of my earlier thoughts and also talks about some of my accomplishments.
Do you have any other projects coming up in the near future, perhaps new blog posts?
One project that I'm really excited about is an e-book. I'm working to bring some of the themes and thoughts I've had over my 400+ blogs into a more concise format. So be on the lookout for that!
