art value 2
2. Jahrgang 2008
Dear Readers,
In the next ten years fortunes equaling more than two billion Euros will be inherited in Germany. Although artworks comprise only a small part of these sums, art will play an important role in two ways: First, the range of possible value bases for art is particularly extensive, much more than with other inheritances, and, second, art fortunes allow a comparatively large amount of maneuverability with regard to German inheritance tax laws. This will become even more interesting since the inheritance laws are being amended this year.
In their contributions the authors Carolin Jost, Felix Ganteführer, Stefan Fritz and Michael Stingl discuss general tax conditions, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of various foundation models as vehicles under corporate laws for the transfer of art. Based on the several foundation models presented here, it is possible to demonstrate a remarkable value shift: in return for receiving tax benefits, previously private art collections are required to be made accessible to the public to a specified degree. The works from such collections can be viewed by a wider public and the visibility of the collection is increased. That the staging of visibility now has a decisive influence on the value of the art is illustrated in the texts by Thomas Wulffen and Matthias Lengner. Wulffen uses the most recent Venice Biennale to prove this point, while Lengner provides a brief history of those kinds of forms of art presentation that reflect the exhibition situation as a defining factor of the art works themselves.
Michael North takes up the theme of inheritance from a cultural- and economic-historical point of view. Since the 17th century estate auctions have played a major part in the circulation of art works. Additionally, the existence of specific highlights in some museum collections or even of entire collections themselves, such as the Städel collection in Frankfurt, are thanks to controlled successions and an active art market.
We also once again pose key questions. How is it possible to establish something such as a generally accepted value of several art works in the cosmos of pure subjectivity? To do this Kosme de Barañano has developed elements of a pricing theory for art. Bruno Frey and Stefan Meier answer the question of whether art makes one happy and Stefan Kobel has provided readers with a concise summary of events in the art market in 2007.
On the following pages we have brought together original contributions, all by experienced authors, each with his own position regarding the value of art. And, just as before, this issue of art value contains a selection of art images, curated by René Zechlin, who presents works by the artists Carsten Fock and Stephen Brandes.
We wish you an enjoyable read!
Tilman Welther
Art is closely connected to both human contentment and unhappiness. Using advanced surveying methods, which are able to measure a person's subjective well being, the preferences of 22,000 individuals were analyzed. In answering the question of whether art makes people happy, the results of two survey questions were linked together: the first question related to how often the surveyed visited cultural events and the second to how happy the individuals believed themselves to be.
On the one hand, nearly half of those surveyed said they never attended art related events. On the other, they were asked to state how happy they believed themselves to be. In their opinion people are happy when they smile often, are open and optimistic and have few work related problems. Frey and Meier´s study established that people who attend cultural events are more content with their lives than those who consume art less frequently or never.
The exact reason for this is, however, not entirely clear: Does a higher frequency of visits to cultural events increase contentment or is it rather simply that happier people tend to attend such activities more frequently? This is something to be examined in more detail at a later date. Much indicates the existence of two simultaneously valid factors: One is that happier people tend to be more open, a characteristic expressed in their frequent attendance at artrelated events. It is, however, equally true that the untrained individual can also find a level of happiness and contentment through exposure to art.

SeaWorld Sadness: An Orca Whale Kills Its Trainer
The more I read about SeaWorld trainer Dawn Brancheau, who was killed yesterday, the sadder I get. In an article about Brancheau written years ago, she told the Orlando Sentinel about going to SeaWorld for the first time when she was 9. "I remember walking down the aisle [of Shamu Stadium] and telling my mom, `This is what I want to do,' " Dawn said. "You can't put yourself in the water unless you trust them and they trust you."
Horribly ironic, since yesterday, during a lunchtime "Dine with Shamu" event, Telly, a 30-year-old 12,000-pound whale, pulled Brancheau under water. "[She] was laying on the platform, massaging the whale, petting it. All of a sudden, it latched on and took her under," said a witness. "He came up one time out of the water with her in his mouth. That was the last we saw of her because they were running us out of there." Alarms went off as an emergency crew tried to rescue Dawn. Brancheau had more than 16 years experience working with killer whales, and experts think Telly probably didn't mean to hurt her. He might have even been playing with her. But this isn't the first time Telly has been involved in a death. In 1991, Telly was one of three whales who killed a trainer in Canada. Then, in 1999, a SeaWorld visitor went past security and either jumped or was pulled into the tank. Technically, he died of hypothermia, but Telly had bitten him.
Very sad that a talented trainer is dead, and that many people are traumatized by seeing it happen. Really, killer whales look so sweet.

Security Fails to Find Ex-Minister
By Our Monrovia Correspondent
The Perspective
April 14, 2001
A team of state security men sent to search for the missing Deputy Information Minister Milton Teahjay has reported their inability to locate him. Police Boss Paul Mulbah dispatched a team of Special Operation Division (SOD) officers and plainclothes security to Nimba County over the weekend. Upon its return, the team reported that it could not find traces of Mr. Teahjay. The team returned only with security personnel assigned at the border points in Nimba County.
Many Liberians are confused by the reason why the secret police officers were dispatched to Nimba when the Government claims that Teahjay went "underground" in Monrovia and that his family knew his whereabouts, but was using the whole Teahjay's affair as "pranks" to damage the image of the government.
There are many accounts filtering in Monrovia, however, about the fate of the outspoken opposition politician, which have sent shock waves through ordinary Liberians, with many presently wondering where the country is heading. Security sources alleged that the controversial government spokesman was executed in Gbatala, around the central town of Gbarnga after he was picked up by plainclothes secret policemen.
An associate of a member of the presidential elite force - Anti Terrorist Unit (ATU), who spoke to this correspondent on the basis of anonymity, alleged that the former Media Consultant was butchered at their base in Gbatala, Bong County. The confidante alleged that it was intended to leave no trace of the murdered politician. He said traces left during the Dokies incident greatly embarrass government. All these accounts could not be independently verified.
Police spokesman Singbeh Johnson has however accused Mr. Teahjay of attempting to embarrass government. President Charles Taylor last Sunday met Mr. Teahjay's wife and promised do everything to trace the man he once said defended him more than he would ever defend himself. A pro-government newspaper the Monrovia Guardian and an auxiliary organization of the NPP have accused the US Embassy in Monrovia of harboring Mr. Teahjay. The Embassy, in a release yesterday, condemned the report, saying, "It is not worth commenting on". Asked why would the embassy be suspect, the Director of its Public Affairs, Ms Sarah Morrison, said if Mr. Teahjay came to the Embassy, it was because it is solace of free speech.
Mr. Teahjay was relieved of his post as Media Consultant to President Taylor after he criticized the operations of logging companies operating in his hometown - Sinoe County. President Taylor subsequently accused Mr. Teahjay of inciting citizens against the NPP-led government, while Vice President Blah described the act of Mr. Teahjay as "seditious". Following his dismissal, police acting under the command of GSA seized Mr. Teahjay's private vehicle and paid unusual visits at night, which frightened the opposition politician. It can be recalled that Mr. Teahjay disappeared last Friday, after he was denied exit by border securities. Later, it was reported that Mr. Teahjay was arrested by state security in Nimba County while attempting to leave the country. President Taylor announced that one of those bent in destabilizing the government has been arrested." The Police also confirmed, adding, "All I can say is that Mr. Teahjay is undergoing preliminary investigation."

Iced Coffee
Recipe by CoffeeMom
I love coffee. (you're shocked, I can tell) I like to keep a pitcher of this in my fridge, especially during the summer.
Top Review by Primordial
I'm really sorry that I have to rate this so low. I thought about it a long time, because I love Recipezaar and my fellow Recipezaarians, but I figure it's best to be honest. I used a quality SCM (eagle brand) and about 9-10 cups of coffee. It was just too devastatingly sweet - even for my wife, who loves Starbucks iced coffee. After we tried about half of the original batch, I added another 5 cups of fresh coffee, effectively halving the amount of SCM - it was still too sweet for me, although Kelly said the sweet was about right at that point. But what was still a problem for both of us was the heavy caramel notes that the SCM brought - really overpowering the coffee. I don't think I'd use this recipe unless I cut the amount of SCM to 1/4 can, and had a *really* strong brew that would work well with the caramel notes (like a dark roasted Kona).

I think it's mainly due to the image size, though. I tried piping dd through pv (pipe viewer) and the speed was very variable. It shows speed and data transferred. Sometimes many MB/s, sometimes just a few kB/s (on ubuntu). No idea why. Oh, the system performance graph applet show lot of (full graph, so almost 100%) IOWait activity, maybe it helps. of course I did it with bs=1M I'm not an expert but I thought that writing 1M block should be pretty fast (my stick writes around 9MB/s), when I write image using win32 imager, it's fast all the time. since dd works in a low level (not sure how low though ;) ) and not in filesystem level I thought it will comparably fast.

Frenchman caps overseas ambush of weekend shears
Frenchman caps overseas ambush of weekend shears
French shearer Loic Jauberthie beame possibly the first from his country to win a shearing competition in New Zealand as four shearers topped the podium in a unique two days in New Zealand shearing last weekend.
Jauberthie, currently working for a shearing gang in Central Hawke's Bay, won the Junior title at the Horowhenua A and P Show in Levin on Sunday.
At the same show, the Intermediate title was won by Welsh shearer Alun Jones, while the previous day Japanese shearer Shun Oishi won the tiny Golden Bay show's intermediate title at Takaka, beating Enkhnasan Chuluunbaatar, fron Bulgan Province in Mongolia, and Tom Lewis, from Bathurst, NSW, won the Intermediate final at the Tauranga A and P Show.
While Jauberthie is in his first season in New Zealand and expects to head back to the Northern Hemisphere in the next few weeks, both Oishi and Chuluunbaatar live mainly in New Zealand, the latter having moved here with Kiwi wife Zoe to settle in New Zealand about two years ago.
Despite being from a family of nomadic herders ion a country with a sheep population estimated to be about 14 million, the shearer known as "Nasa" did not learn to shear until after he arrived in New Zealand and is capable of over 200 sheep a day, says employer and Golden Bay contractor Nick Nalder.
While there were just 22
shearers across four classes at the Golden Bay show, there
were five nationalities, including American Weston
Hyllstead, from Iowa..
Another feature of the Horowhenua show was the Open final win by Napier shearer John Kirkpatrick, having just flown back to the North Island after winning the Northern Southland Community Shears longwool title at Castle Riock, near Lumsden, on Friday, and finishing second in the centennial Winton A and P Show's crossbred lambshearing final on Saturday.
With his Winton placing leaving him just a placing short of repeating a unique treble of wins he recorded at the three shows within three days in 2009, Kirkpatrick's win on Sunday was a significant triumph over Hastings shearer Rowland Smith, who had won at Wairoa on Saturday and who will shear for New Zealand in the first Elders Primary Wool Shearing Series test against Wal;es, at the Rotorua A and P Show at Ngongotaha.

Manning's 7 TDs fuel Broncos past Ravens
By ARNIE STAPLETON
Associated Press
DENVER — Both the NFL opener and Peyton Manning were a little tardy.
It was well worth the wait.
Manning and the Denver Broncos waited eight long months, then another 33 minutes to get the season started because of a lightning storm.
After three punts to start things off, Manning threw a record-tying seven touchdown passes, something no one had done in 44 years, in directing Denver to a 49-27 victory over Super Bowl champion Baltimore on Thursday night in a much-anticipated rematch against the team that ended the Broncos' playoff run in January.
Manning connected with his most prized addition, Wes Welker, and former college basketball player Julius Thomas and Demaryius Thomas for two TDs each in piling up the most points scored on the Ravens in their 18-year history.
"I don't like excuses but I do think that lightning delay did slow us down," Manning said. "You guys have seen teams break it down: you come up for the team prayer, you put your hands in and you say, 'Broncos on 3,' and you go out to the field.
"We did it three times tonight," Manning said. "We did it, went back and sat down for 10 minutes and came back up again. 'Broncos on 3,' now sit down for another 10 minutes. I know they had to deal with it, too, but it took us a while to get started."
Wearing an orange-and-gray glove like the one he wore on that icy January night the last time these teams met, Manning took a while to get warmed up against a defense that had to replace seven Super Bowl starters.
He ditched the glove when the rain stopped — and then was unstoppable.
"Peyton had an amazing night," Broncos coach John Fox said. "Peyton's had a lot of amazing nights."
Not like this, though.
Manning is the sixth QB in NFL history to throw seven TD passes in a game and the first since Joe Kapp for Minnesota against Baltimore on Sept. 28, 1969.
The others read like a Who's Who of passers who defied the 3-yards-and-a-cloud-of-dust days long before the NFL became so pass-happy: Sid Luckman, Adrian Burk, George Blanda and Y.A. Tittle.
Tom Brady never did it. Nor Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Joe Montana, Steve Young or Terry Bradshaw. Or, for that matter, No. 7 himself, John Elway, who had his binoculars trained on the action from his perch in the luxury seats.
"I felt like we had to keep scoring because Baltimore can score at any time," said Manning, who was 27 of 42 for 462 yards with no interceptions for an off-the-charts quarterback rating of 141.1.
"He's phenomenal. To continue to come out every year and put that kind of performance on for us, it's amazing," Julius Thomas said.
All part of a thorough thrashing of the team that put a harsh end to what had looked like a Super Bowl-bound 2012 in Denver. The rematch came nearly eight months after Baltimore beat Denver 38-35 in double overtime on an icy January night in the same stadium.
The hero on that night was Jacoby Jones, who caught a 70-yard TD pass over Rahim Moore with 31 seconds left to tie it in regulation. This time, his night was cut short when he went back to field a punt in the first half and teammate Brynden Trawick plowed into him, sending him to the sideline with a sprained right knee.
"That's an experience problem, he's an inexperienced guy," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said.
When the teams finally took the field after the long delay, it was clear how much had changed.
Pass rusher Elvis Dumervil moved from Denver to Baltimore as part of a bizarre, fax-infused contract squabble. Receiver Brandon Stokley also switched sides. The Broncos lost their best defender, Von Miller, to a drug suspension while Baltimore had to rebuild its "D" after losing emotional leaders Ed Reed and Ray Lewis.
The Ravens suffered another loss of sorts when they were forced to play the season's traditional opener on the road because of a conflict with the Orioles in Baltimore. The NFL hung a Flacco banner above Denver's stadium, but he hardly felt at home.
Armed with a new six-year, $120.6 million contract, he matched the Broncos score for score in the first half and went into the locker room up 17-14 but had to play catch-up after falling behind 35-17 early in the third quarter. His final numbers: 34 of 62 for 362 yards with two TDs and two interceptions.
"It was a pretty good game for a while and it got away from us," Flacco said.
It was such a runaway, the Broncos were throwing away touchdowns by the end. Linebacker Danny Trevathan fumbled his pick-6 just shy of the goal line, pulling a Leon Lett imitation by celebrating too soon and the ball bounced out of the end zone for a touchback instead of a touchdown.
No worries.
Denver was ahead 42-17 at that point.
"It was just a young mistake," Trevathan said. "It was kind of selfish. I'm going to take full responsibility. I'm going to grow from it."
Manning's seventh TD pass was a blitz-beater that Demaryius Thomas caught in the left flat and raced up the seam for a 78-yard score that capped Manning's big night.
"It didn't seem like that many," Welker said. "You're just sitting there like, 'That was seven?' Because he's so nonchalant about it."
Flacco could only marvel at Manning's seven TDs.
"That's a sweet way to start a season," Flacco said. "You get ahead throwing that many touchdowns. I mean, shoot, he's almost halfway to 20 already."
Demaryius Thomas finished with five receptions for 161 yards, Julius Thomas had five catches for 110 yards and Welker led the way with nine grabs for 67 yards.
Welker is the first receiver to catch TD passes from both Brady and Manning.
He has said he can't compare the two pre-eminent QBs, saying that's like choosing between Michaelangelo and Picasso.
This night was certainly a masterpiece for Manning.

i drafted here sample. my worry is it wont work i need at least 2m pull and free drop to drill.
please guys help me out with ideas thank you.
here attached the file
Make sure you've stepped down the gearing so that the rpm of the motor does not lift the cutting head prematurely.
You could decrease the drop and free-fall time by making the cutting tool heavier...

How do you intend to remove the loose material in the bore-hole and what happens if you hit bedrock? E

CUCM 8.6 - Registration rejected
- Bronze, 100 points or more
Hey folks. I had a weird one this week. I had three new wireless phones get the same error. Registration rejected.
During troubleshooting, I stopped and restarted the TFTP service to no avail.
Finally, I took a guess and turned off auto registration on our Subscriber and Publisher, and then turned it back on.
The phones all registered.
My question is this... What the heck?? Why did that fix it?
Alex is correct on this, your assumption that they recicle is wrong.
When it comes to auto registration CUCM only knows this 3 things
What DN to start from, on what DN to stop and a field which has the next-DN to assign for auto-registration until it's equial to the last DN from the pool you created.
CUCM doesn't go back and check if you're no longer using the DNs or if you have deleted the DNs.
If this helps, please rate
As far as I know the DNs in auto reg do not recycle.
Lets say you just had
1001 - 1029 set
You plug in the phones say 40 of them
The 1st 29 will get Auto-reg assigned.
You go to CUCM and move the phone to new DNs say 2XXX range.
The remaining phones will still not register till you rest the AUTO-REG
I dont know if your set up keeps the auto-reg number or do you change the DNs once registered.

Round Rock Tops Memphis In Doubleheader Opener
By Memphis Redbirds | August 4, 2014 8:22 PM ET
ROUND ROCK, Texas - Memphis surged to an early lead but saw Round Rock score five unanswered runs and walk-off a 5-4 winner in the first game of the doubleheader at the Dell Diamond on Monday night.
Carlos Martinez, who was optioned back to Memphis on Friday, made his first start in a Redbirds uniform since August of 2013. The hard-throwing right-hander threw 4.1 innings without allowing a run. The Express managed three hits off him, fanning four times and walking once. Unfortunately for Martinez, he failed to make it out of the fifth and took a no-decision.
The Redbirds offense struck first for the fourth straight game in the series, pounding out four runs in the opening frame for the second consecutive game. Tommy Pham led off with a single and Stephen Piscotty followed with the same two batters later. After the pair successfully executed a double steal, Scott Moore stepped in and drove them both in with an opposite field home run.
The lead expanded when Audry Perez and launched a solo home run in the next at-bat. It was the first time the 'Birds had gone back-to-back this season, giving Moore his 14th longball of the year and Perez his 4th on the season. With four totals hits in the inning, the advantage was 4-0.
Round Rock finally broke through off reliever Jorge Rondon in the sixth. Rondon had worked his way out of a jam Martinez had gotten into during the fifth inning, but could not repeat that success in the next frame. Tommy Telis and Geovany Soto hit back-to-back RBI doubles and cut the Redbirds lead in half at 4-2.
The two-run lead was not enough Eric Fornataro either, who surrendered two runs and blew the save for the second straight night. Jared Hoying highlighted the two-run seventh with a run-scoring single up the middle to even things at 4-4.
The Express rode their offensive momentum into the 8th when Soto unloaded a ball that landed over the right field wall for a walk-off home run. It was the catcher's first homer of the season and it handed left-hander Pedro Feliciano his fifth loss in 2014.
Memphis threatened in several innings, but was just 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position and left a runner standing at third to end an inning on two separate occasions. It was their first defeat in a doubleheader game since June 18 when they fell 9-8 at Salt Lake.

Queensland Premier Campbell Newman today launched the first residential development at Brisbane's $2.9 billion RNA Showgrounds regeneration, which aims to house people at the Ekka site by mid 2014.
But Mr Newman said the construction should have started up to three years earlier, and would have if the city's largest urban renewal project since South Bank was spearheaded by the Brisbane City Council and not the powerful state government Urban Land Development Authority.
Upon completion, The Green will form part of a commercial, retail, events and residential precinct set to regularly cater for close to 50,000 people at the end of its 15 year project cycle.
The tower will contain 340 apartments and is one of five residential buildings planned for the site, which is expected to create $4 billion worth of economic activity, including more than 15,000 jobs.
Declared as an Urban Development Area in 2008, development proposals put forward by the RNA and Lend Lease were subsequently approved in 2010 by the ULDA, an organisation created by the former state government to assume the council role of approving projects in strategic urban development areas.
Lend Lease Australia chief executive Mark Menhinnitt said the developers had been happy with the project's progress, which saw the ULDA work together with other several big players, including the state and local government.
"We're quite happy with the progress, but the market has been quite soft," Mr Menhinnitt said.
"It's more than just the ULDA, it's a commitment by a number of parties – the state, the city council the RNA and ourselves – to have a common vision and set common objectives."
But Mr Newman, who fulfilled an election commitment to wind-down the authority's powers earlier this year, said the project's timeline had suffered because the planning power had been taken out of the hands of council.
Though he thanked the ULDA staff who "got us to this point", Mr Newman said Mr Menhinnitt was being too "polite" by saying work had gone according to plan.
"I'll say very clearly, everything that's happened here now could have, and should have been done by the Brisbane City Council, and I think [Mr Menhinnitt is] being very polite," he said.
"This could have, should have got going two or three years ago."
Mr Menhinnitt said construction activity so far had focused on RNA assets and infrastructure and enabling works including drainage and stormwater provisions.
However RNA chief executive Brendan Christou said construction of the first residential apartments signalled the next critical stage in the project's timeline.
"This renewal is transforming our iconic RNA Showgrounds into a year round destination and events precinct, a place where people will live, work and play," Mr Christou said.
"This precinct will greatly improve our events through state of the art facilities, and attract thousands of new visitors a year while retaining our historical legacy."
Lend Lease has released four of the buildings to the market and secured a 50 per cent presale figure, which Mr Menhinnitt said was "encouraging".
He said there had been a slight upswing in enquiries since the government's shake-up of the first home buyers' grant intended to stoke demand for, and supply of, new property in the market
But interest rates remained a significant factor, Mr Menhinnitt said.
"There's a view in the market that the interest rate level is on a downward track and that builds consumer confidence," he said.
"I don't think if the [anticipated interest rate] cut doesn't come through tomorrow it's not a devastating blow, but it's something we'd like to see."
The 15-year RNA Showgrounds regeneration project includes 416,000 square metres of new event facilities, residential, commercial and retail buildings along with public green-space and new streetscapes.
It includes a new convention centre and hotel, however Mr Christou said it was unlikely the accommodation would be ready in time for the G20 summit in 2014 which has already sparked concerns in regards to hotel-room supply.
The Ekka will remain at the redeveloped site.

The Yorktown onion is not native to this country, but came from the Old World. The scientific name of both our plants and those of the Old World is Allium Ampeloprasum. Allium is Latin for garlic, while Alpeloprasum means "leek of the vineyard".
Though the plant is always referred to as the Yorktown Onion here, there are several other common names. In print it has been called wild onion, giant wild garlic, and wild leek.
Our plant probably made its way to the New World, like many other plants, by accident. Legend has it that the seeds came here during the Revolutionary War mixed with crop seeds or fodder. Regardless of how it got here, it became firmly established as a wild plant in what is now York County.
The Yorktown Onion is protected by law, as Chapter 17, Article III, Section 17-35, Subsection B, of the Code of the County of York, Virginia, states that "...gathering or collecting the Yorktown Onion shall be prohibited".

This paper examines ejaculation strategies for cases when an opportunist male `steals' a mating with the female of a paired male. This is an evolutionary game of competitive ejaculation in which two (or more) males mate with the same female. Prospective evolutionarily stable strategy (ESS) models are analysed which seek ESS sperm numbers. Sperm competition is assumed to obey the `raffle principle' (i.e. fertilization probability increases with the proportion of a given male's sperm in the female tract). The models assume a trade-off between sperm expenditure and other aspects of reproductive success. Sperm costs may be unequal for the two males (paired male; opportunist male), especially if given phenotypes tend to adopt one or other pattern. In the `sneaks and guarders' (SG) game, certain males (guarders) are paired permanently to particular females, and others (sneaks) obtain matings opportunistically. Roles are therefore constant. Guarders are assumed to have no information whether a sneak mating has occurred (their strategy is tuned to the average risk of sperm competition) and the sperm costs are assumed to be unequal for sneaks and guarders. If sneak matings are rare, guarding males should spend less effort on ejaculates than sneaks. But if sneak matings are frequent, and if the marginal cost of sperm is very low for sneaks, the guarder may expend the greater effort on sperm. If sperm are relatively very cheap for guarders, then in cases of double mating, the paternity prospects of guarders should be higher than for sneaks; otherwise sneaks should win. However, if a guarder detects a sneak mating, he should increase his sperm dose in the female tract and achieve higher fertilization prospects (paternity) than the sneak. A second model concerns cases of extra pair copulations (EPCS) where all males are paired to females, but all will mate with another male's female if the opportunity should arise. Thus roles are assigned randomly with fixed probability. In this game, sperm costs relate to reduced paternal care (or to other losses with the `primary' female) and are assumed to be equal to all males. Predictions are very similar to the sneaks--guarders game: when performing an EPC a male should expend more effort on sperm (and hence gain higher paternity) than when mating as a paired males, unless the EPC is detected, in which case a paired male should greatly increase his sperm dose in the female (and hence should predominate at fertilization).

Sinead O'Connor says she's feeling much better after posting an alarming series of tweets in which she pleaded for psychiatric help, saying she was "really un-well ... and in danger."
The Irish singer, 45, fractured her ankle in a fall in her Dublin home Tuesday night. Early Wednesday, she began posting to Twitter, saying things like, "does any1 know a psychiatrist in dublin or wicklow who could urgently see me today please?" and "i desperately need to get back on meds today. am in serious danger."
Reached by phone in Dublin later Wednesday, O'Connor said the public posts got her the assistance she sought, despite sparking a round of potentially embarrassing "cry for help" celebrity-gossip stories.
"People were great, and I got a lot of e-mails and good numbers," says the singer, who will release a new album next month. "I got a lot of help, and now it's all good."
Of the fans that rallied around her online, she says: "They're f****** absolutely amazing; I cannot thank them enough. And what was amazing was a lot of the hospitals got in touch, and they were fan-f******-tastic. They said it was fantastic to tweet."
O'Connor says she expects to take a hit from the Irish press, with which she has an often-combative relationship, for publicly expressing her need for help. "In Ireland, you're not supposed to say you feel this way," she says. "That's stupid. I know I'm going to get beaten up for saying it, but I was really pleased that the hospital people wrote and said thank you so much for tweeting because it's really important for people to reach out."
O'Connor's new album, titled How About I Be Me (And You Be You), is due Feb. 21. She says she initially had planned to call the album Home, but "I've spent all my life as an artist being told what I should do and what I should be and what I shouldn't f****** be. Basically, 'Why don't you just be somebody else?' I got sick of it after a while.
"One night in bed, this sentence came into my mind, 'How about I just f****** be me?' So was going to call it just How About I Be Me, but I thought that was selfish and that I should express that I don't mind you being you, either."
She also sings Lay Your Head Down for the new Glenn Close film Albert Nobbs, which recently received a Golden Globe nomination for best original song.
As for her ankle, she says, "It's quite sore, but it's OK. It was very bad this morning, but they gave me painkillers. (The swelling's) gone down a bit, so it's not so bad now."
In the wake of the day's events, O'Connor sings the praises of Twitter, where she goes by the handle @vampyahslayah.
"I love Twitter; Twitter's f****** great," she says.
"We keep it funny most of the time. You make friends, and you may as well be yourself. That's what's great about Twitter: You don't know anyone, so you can really be yourself, and you end up making real friends.
"If the whole world's watching, I don't see why I should protect my tweets and not live like a normal person. The object of the game is to keep it as funny as possible. Only today, it was important to be oneself."

Lymph Cleanse Recipe
Lymph Cleanse Recipe – What Function Does The Lymph Perform? How To Cleanse It?
We all seem to have a vague idea of what lymph is. However, we feel flummoxed when asked to describe it in detail. You are not the only one who faces this problem. We all have heard about lymph and lymph nodes in our body but the rarely, if ever, seem to know what function it performs.
The lymph circulate system in our body is as detailed and as intricate as the blood circulation system. The red blood cells are too big to leak out of the capillaries. However, oxygen, glucose and others substances leak out of the capillaries and bathe the cells in our body. That is this system known as the lymph circulatory system.
The lymph performs a very important task of circulation of resources and material required by each and every part of the body. There are numerous nodes in our body where the lymph is cleansed and detoxified.
Lymph Cleanse Recipe – Not Only Do You Have Lymph But You Need To Cleanse It As Well
Since it performs such an important function, it is but obvious that the lymph node must be kept working and functional at all times. This is what the lymph cleanse recipe needs to achieve.
A lymph cleanse recipe will include those of foodstuffs that claims the body and make it easier for the lymph node to function. It also replenishes the essential reserves of the body and fortifies the lymph node. You can find different lymph cleanse recipes irrespective of whether you're vegetarian or non vegetarian. There may be some foodstuffs that you will have to skip and some that you'll have to modify.

Nicki Minaj's "Pound the Alarm" Video: Watch Now!
Hooking her fans up with a midsummer gift, Nicki Minaj has just dropped her brand new music video for "Pound the Alarm."
The "Super Bass" babe shot the project in her homeland of Trinidad a few weeks back, making the most of the beautiful Caribbean setting.
And the hot summer temperatures gave Nicki another excuse (as if she needed one) to show off her ample curves in a skimpy wardrobe range.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) ruled that the game on 13 February would go ahead as planned, and it would not be changed to South Africa.
England's players said on Monday they wanted the match moved.
The other matches scheduled to take place in Zimbabwe will go ahead too.
No formal request
This comes as the England team arrived in South Africa ready to take part in the World Cup.
There have been weeks of discussions about whether England should play in Zimbabwe, because lots of people don't agree with the way the President, Robert Mugabe, runs the country.
And there are fears it might not be safe for them to play there.
New Zealand were also told their match against Kenya would go ahead as planned in Nairobi, even though they did request a change.

Updating previous Pinterest boards with new pins can help brands get more followers
by Alexandra Veleva on 18th December 2012
A study of online fashion retailers using Pinterest shows the importance of updating old boards as well as creating new ones to grow a large community.
Pinterest has proved popular among fashion retailers as its visual nature means it acts as an extension of their catalogue and users can follow either the whole page or a specific board. Online fashion shopping sites ASOS, Net-a-Porter, Missguided, Boohoo and Very post thematic boards, trends, gift ideas and pictures from fashion events. As well as regularly creating new boards with the latest fashion fixes, most of them also update previously created boards with new pins. Very is the only retailer which doesn't update its previous boards and we have analysed the impact of this on their community size.
Analysis shows that Very has the lowest number of Pinterest followers compared to other fashion retailers, with 386 versus over 20k for brands like ASOS. Very's lower follower base could be caused by their not updating previous boards. This is because Pinterest users can either follow a brand page, which means they get all the updates, or they can choose to follow a specific board, in which case they only see new pins on that board. Brands which only create new boards without updating previous ones won't reach the users who follow individual boards. This demonstrates the importance of keeping content in each Pinterest boards dynamic in order to maximise reach and grow the number of followers.
Very has the smallest community size among fashion shopping brands on Pinterest:
- Very has the least number of Pinterest followers: This suggests that Very should maximise the existing boards they have posted on Pinterest by adding new content on them, to help reach more users and grow their follower base
Net-a-Porter's activity feed shows that they regularly update a number of boards:
- Dynamic content can help build a larger follower base: Brand should ensure they are reaching the users who only follow a board as well as the ones who follow their entire page. This can help encourage more consumers to follow the page itself and build a larger community size
