The Hon. Fidel Valdez Ramos, Former President, Republic of the Philippines
Sydney, Australia
September 3, 2003
Eight years ago, the Philippines acceded to the world trade organization ( WTO). By that landmark act, we embraced the trade-related aspects of globalization. today, with the benefit of hindsight, i ask myself -- knowing what i know now -- would i have taken the Philippines to join the WTO just the same? My answer is -- yes -- definitely yes -- but now we must think back and determine what are globalization's hidden and, possibly, damaging dimensions in order that the world community can more responsibly respond to them in order to win a better future.
Politicians, economists, and security experts have dissected, debated and elaborated upon the nature, applications and effects of globalization. but regardless of their respective opinions and ideological inclinations, it appears that they agree on one thing: that in the context of the realities and relationships of the 21st century, globalization is extremely complex even as almost everyone accepted from the beginning the simple definition that globalization as being merely the elimination of barriers to free trade and the removal of restrictions to the movement of capital in order to promote deeper integration of national economies into the global system.
By that simpler definition, globalization could only pose benefits, not perils, for all. However, as practiced, globalization is far from being universally fair and beneficial. The key question, however, is: are these gains now enjoyed by a great number of suffering people in the world, or by only an elitist, uncaring minority?
Under a regime of increasingly open and liberal trade, the Philippines posted faster growth in terms of exports, averaging a 19.5% increase annually during the period 1994-1997 -- one of the fastest in our region despite the financial crisis of 1997-1998. Through its tariff reduction program, the country kept pace with the target to limit to zero to 5 percent tariffs for most of its tradable goods. Already, more than 85% of the country's total tariff lines are within this target range.
The Philippines adopted necessary safety nets for vulnerable sectors and measures to enhance its global competitiveness, increase and sustain agriculture productivity, improve infrastructure for speedy movement of goods and services, foster pollution management and sustainable development of natural resources, and accelerate science and technology efforts to support our programs towards globalization. All these, the Philippines did in the name of globalization and international competitiveness.
Poverty: the increasing gap
Although successive Philippine administrations, including mine, helped reduce poverty incidence from the high mark of 1985 at 41+% to 30% by 1998, the numbers today are still troubling. While the Philippine economy was considered the best performing in southeast Asia in 2002 -- except for Vietnam -- and the third best performing in all of east Asia, the country still has more than 5 million people out of work.
These figures notwithstanding, the Philippines' economic fundamentals remain sound, and the country enjoys predictable growth to ensure steady prices, low inflation, adequate liquidity, and funding for development initiatives. The Philippines is committed to good governance and to long-term structural reforms leading to continued strength in domestic demand, diversification of trade, and a hospitable environment for investment.

A sexual act in which one positions their partner so that you can grab your partners hand and lick it while stroking the palm with your other hand's pinky. While liking/stroking the hand of your partner, take them to the brink by rubbing your second toe along their body. The dirtier the foot the better. Being scummy and flat out disturbing as possible with this technique is the key. Getting Sekelied while using this technique is recommended. A great move for those with a foot fetish.
Bill got the poor girl so drunk that she didn't mind him Pulling a Sekely all over her cunt. He told me that he had even pissed on his toe earlier that day for the full effect.

Cool Camera Shows What Being Eaten By a Shark Might Look Like
During the family vacation last summer, my son Evan had a very close encounter with a shark. It was a small shark that would not have done much, if any damage, but scary nonetheless. Thanks to Hollywood we sort of know what being eaten by a shark looks like, but the below video uses an actual camera to show us what it REALLY looks like.

Like many athletes, Kelly Crymble sets goals to run faster.
Yet, Kellys goal last year was larger than simply running faster. She set a goal to not only compete in the Platte River Fitness Series, but also to win it.
Organized by the North Platte Recreation Center, the 12-event series included nine runs, ranging in distance from 5K to half-marathon, as well as three triathlons.
And, in every race except one, she either won or placed in the top three spots in her age group, earning her the high-point total for females among competitors.
Not bad for someone who had never run until her mid-30s.
Not one step, Kelly said. Not even around the block.
Its not that the 41-year-old wife and mother never wanted to run, its that she couldnt.
Diagnosed after her first birthday with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Kelly, grew up at Lander, Wyo., on the sidelines of the athletic arena, watching her younger brother and sister play sports.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is a common type of arthritis in children. The long-term chronic disease can cause joint pain and swelling and limited range of motion.
While some children with JRA eventually go into remission with little loss of function and joint damage, others, like Kelly experience the destruction of joints and the disease continues into adulthood.
Ive spent my entire life in and out of physical therapy and the hospital, she said.
JRA affected many of Kellys joints.
I used to have to wear all kinds of braces when I was little, she said, remembering the flexible plastic braces doctors and therapists would slip onto her fingers.
Theyd put them on my fingers so I wouldnt get the big knuckles. So to make it fun, theyd put little gemstones in so it wasnt like these ugly little braces.
In addition to therapies, braces, other treatments and medications, Kelly also has had several surgeries.
When she was 18, she had a metal joint put in her jaw.
Ten years ago, the joint in her right wrist was replaced.
While the joint replacements have eased discomfort in those specific joints, pain still is a constant companion, and has been since childhood.
Yet, dont pity Kelly.
My dad always had this theory. When things were tough hed tell me, If you never own it, its not yours. So dont take ownership of the arthritis. Its borrowing your body. Kick it out, she said.
While she wasnt able to do physical activities while growing up, she found other outlets, including 4-H, Future Farmers of America and livestock and poultry judging.
I used my mind instead of my body, she said.
And, her life was full. After college, she married, and she and her husband, Jeff, have a daughter, Kelsey.
Periodically, the disease has gone into remission, including when she was pregnant with Kelsey.
I felt great when I was pregnant and after Kelsey was born.
Feeling good, however, didnt last. Again, Kelly battled the symptoms of the disease, sometimes struggling simply to get out of bed in the morning.
Yet, it was her child who instilled in Kelly a desire to do more, to push her body to its limits. When Kelsey, now a sophomore at Ogallala High School and a gifted runner, was 9, she ran her first race, the Rendezvous 5K, which she won.
She was the one who said, You should try running the mile mom, Kelly said, adding she laughed at the suggestion. I said, I cant do that Kelsey.
Yet, a seed was planted, and Kelly said she began to think that maybe she could. While her first tentative steps were daunting, she continued.
Running a mile seemed like 10, Kelly said.
In 2007, step by slow step, Kelly completed a mile run, and later that same year, ran her first 5K.
I wasnt by any means a fast runner. I was just happy that I got it done, she said.
While she thought her runner ambitions were fulfilled, Kelly learned North Platte offered a summer triathlon, and she and Kelsey decided to take the challenge. In 2008, after months of training, she completed the super sprint triathlon a 200-meter swim, 10-mile bike ride and two-mile run.
The first triathlon I did my mom said, If you get to a point where you cant finish, its OK, she said. I said, No, its not. Quitting is not an option.
That can-do attitude allowed her to complete the triathlon. Soon, she was thinking, Maybe I can do a lot more than I thought I could.
During the next four years, that attitude prompted a complete change in Kelly. Working closely with her doctor, who preaches an active lifestyle for those with RA, Kelly said she heeds his words, You know your limitations. But, if you feel you hit your limit, stop.
After successfully running one distance, shed advance to the next. In 2011, she set a goal to complete a half marathon, 13.1 miles. She enlisted her friend, Kris Elmshaeuser, as a training partner and they ran together all summer.
In October 2011, Kelly completed her first half marathon. While she credits training well and taking care of her body, her accomplishment also was a testament to her faith. Prior to the run, on the inside of her wrist she copied a verse from the Bible, Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
Thats become my thing now, Kelly said. When I think I cant go on its like -- oh yes I can.
Her completion of the half marathon that year prompted an urge to not just run, but to run well.
After I ran the half I thought, I think theres a runner in me thats been screaming to get out all my life. Now its not just enough to finish. Now Ive got to set some goals and improve, she said.
Lofty goal
Last January, she set the goal, as crazy as it seemed to not just finish the Platte River Fitness Series, but to win it.
And, I laughed at myself, she said. Youre competing against people half your age and the ones that are older are twice your ability. How could you possibly win it?
Yet, she focused on how to improve her running, reading everything I could get my hands on.
After completing the series, as well as seven other events in four states, Kellys resume for 2012 listed nine 5Ks, three 10Ks, one 15 K, three half marathons and three triathlons.
Not only did she complete the series, but Kelly performed well, shaving minutes off her times and recording personal bests in the 5K - 23:49; 10K - 49:54; and half marathon - 1:48.
In a ceremony Jan. 27, Kelly and the other Fitness Series finishers will be recognized. She also will be awarded the top female athlete of the series.
Actually to say athlete and my name in the same sentence sounds strange, she said. I just wanted to prove to myself that I, someone with my ability, could win it, and I did.
As for goals for 2013, Kelly said she wants to participate in an Olympic-distance triathlon, which will be offered at Ogallala this summer.
The event includes a 10K, 1,000-meter swim and a 25-mile bicycle ride.
While her 2013 running calendar still is not set, one thing she knows is she will continue to be physically active as part of a strategy to manage the disease. And although some mornings her body screams its protest with stiff, achy joints, still she gets up and works out.
Im like anyone else. You wake up and dont feel like running today. And, if you convince yourself, you wont. But, youll probably regret it, she said.
Kelly acknowledges the support of her family and friends, as well as friends in the running community who cheer each other across every finish line, contribute to her success.
Yet, it is her faith in God that has gotten her through tough times and also across each finish line.
God has helped keep me centered in the running and keeps me on track. Theres times when you dont know if you can do it, but faith is what brings you back to I can. But, its not just running. Its life.

Bacterial meningitis reported at S. Fla. school
Published: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 9:34 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 14, 2013 at 9:34 a.m.
MIRAMAR, Fla. — Parents have been asked to watch their children carefully after a case of bacterial meningitis has been reported at a South Florida elementary school.
The Broward School District said Wednesday that letters have been sent home to parents of children at Fairway Elementary School in Miramar.
Miami's NBC 6 reports Principal Michelle Engram-McKnight informed parents of the symptoms they should watch for. They include high fever, chills, intense headaches, nausea, vomiting, neck stiffness and a rash.
Officials say children showing any symptoms should be taken to a doctor right away.
School officials say students showing symptoms can't return to school until they have a note from a doctor saying they are no longer contagious.

Adnan Oktar's conversations with guests
Mr. Adnan Oktar has stated that hanging party flags everywhere during the election period is causing pollution and that it is also not aesthetic. Fatma Sahin has made an announcement from her Twitter account that they will down election flags in Gaziantep.
February 10th, 2014 :A9 TV (Answering a viewer's question about removing party flags)
ADNAN OKTAR: Really they are a little ugly. And you can't understand which party they belong to. Everywhere looks so dirty. There is no need for them. Television and radio are enough. We will not look at the flag and say, "O look how nice this flag is. Let's go and vote for this party." This is a little odd. All the parties can mutually decide and abandon this practice. They look very dirty and they can help Syria and the poor people with that money. They can buy food and clothing for our brothers and sisters in the Southeast region.
February 20th, 2014
Fatma Şahin announced from her Twitter account; "As all political parties, we have made a mutual decision to take down election flags in Gaziantep to stop pollution. Today all flags are coming down." Following this, all political party flags were taken down.

"I converted to Islam because of its conceptions of honesty and justice. Islam is the biggest growing religion in Europe because of the presence of its people who hold this religion and thus come by the essence of the conceptions of justice and equality." says Yvonne Ridley.
British journalist Yvonne Ridley was born in 1959 in UK. Ridley worked as a reporter for Sunday Times, The Observer, Daily Mirror, The Independent and Sunday Express as well as TV Channels like BBC, CNN and ITN where she worked as an anchor person, commentator and producer in programs covering Middle East.
She was captured by Taliban in September 2001 when she entered Afghanistan wearing a 'burqa' and hiding her identity as a journalist and then released after 10 days on the condition that she will read the Holy Qur-an and review Islam religion without any prejudice.
After a long review and study of Islam, she became a Muslim. The perspective on women and family structure of Islam which is expressed in the Qur'an deeply impressed her to take this decision of converting to Islam.

Computex 2013: ECS launches a Gaming Range: GANK, AGGRO and KILLSTEALby Ian Cutress on 6/11/2013 11:55 PM EST

ChadnSteff - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkIt's ECS, who gives a whoop? Reply
dac7nco - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkNobody. Additionally, I couldn't bring myself to buy a motherboard called GANK or KILLSTEAL if it was from ASUS either. Reply
ShieTar - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkYeah, why does anybody go out of his way to find namings with a negative connotation? Did some ECS manager overhear a discussion of his gaming kids and picked words at random? And then nobody in the company had the balls to tell him this would be a stupid idea? Reply
Sabresiberian - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkECS is making an attempt to change their position in the marketplace and improve their consumer-grade products. That being said, the choice of names here isn't a good sign - unless this is a total publicity joke.
For your edification Ian (and others who have no reason to know), "gank" in today's gaming world essentially means repeatedly killing a another player that is far below your level (so has utterly no chance of defeating you no matter how good a player he is), or having a gang of players kill one player. While it is considered to be one of the normal situations that you have to put up with in a PvP (Player vs Player) environment, the people that do it are considered to be the low-life scum of the PvP world. There is no positive connotation to it.
"Killsteal" is the same way. It means exactly what it says - another player steals the kill you started to make on some entity. It is also considered to be bad form, and in most games there is actually a lockout mechanism to prevent it happening these days. If you "tap" a mob first, only you get credit for the kill , so only you get the experience points and whatever loot drops. Others might be able to assist you, depending on the game, but they don't get credit.
Aggro - is a situationally good or bad word. It essentially means to draw the attention of the mob (mob is a general term basically meaning any entity a player would want to attack). If you are "tanking" then you are assigned the job of "taking aggro" and you do everything you can to build up your aggro numbers by generating more "threat". However, if your job is to damage the mob but you are a class that goes down quickly if attacked, generating more threat than the tank and so "aggroing" the mob is a very bad idea, as it can get you and the whole group killed.
So, to most gamers, the least offensive name here would be "Aggro". I actually don't have a problem with that name, but like others here, wouldn't touch a product named "Gank" or "Killsteal" no matter who made it - and it would throw a bad light on the whole company, for me. Someone needs to clue ECS in.
Unless, of course, it IS intended to be a joke and they have no intention of actually naming their products "Gank" and "Killsteal", in which case I'd say "Well played, and very funny." :) Reply
ShieTar - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - linkWell said. So in conclusion, "Aggro" would be fine, as long as the board comes with a nice set of thermal armor. Reply
Zefeh - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkWhile I agree with the below comments, buying a motherboard called GANK/AGGRO/KILLSTEAL is sorta weird. And I'd like to point out while AGGRO and KILLSTEAL came from MMORPG's (World of Warcraft, Guild Wars) I'd like to point out that there is a "Complexity Gaming" Logo in the background of the first Picture. They 'had' a League of Legends competitive team up until they got eliminated. The word "Gank" got much more of it's popularity from League than anything else. Reply
piroroadkill - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkCan't Kill steal in Guild Wars 2! Reply
extide - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkGank really came from DotA Reply
heinousjay - Monday, June 17, 2013 - link"Gank" came from the late 80s/early 90s gangster rap scene. It meant pretty much the same thing. Reply
Paulman - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - link"Are you serious!? [LOLOLOLOL]" <- literally my initial reaction to reading this :D Reply
creed3020 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkThis launch comes across very much as a "me too!" effort.
Case mods are interesting, I'd love to see them in person to learn from them. Reply
twtech - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkYes, they are technically gaming terms... usually accompanied by shouting, curse words, and insults.
Did ECS figure out what those words meant before deciding to use them in product branding? Reply
geekman1024 - Wednesday, June 12, 2013 - linkWhile ECS customers are getting AGGRO'ed, somone at ECS is going to get GANK'ed and KS'ed. Reply
Solidstate89 - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - linkKillsteal? Gank? Who the hell signed off on these horrible names? Reply
lever_age - Thursday, June 13, 2013 - linkNo, they're not trying to target the gaming market, but rather a subset that is proud of its poor manners and taste.
Actually, I want to know which branding agency was responsible, as it should rightly go bankrupt immediately. Reply

Inception Media Group has acquired Alex Barder's Strategic Film Partners through its newly formed subsidiary Inception Film Partners.
Barder founded Strategic in 2004 and becomes president of the new company. He will spearhead and manage all aspects of daily operations including business development, strategic planning, acquisitions, film financing and sales.
Inception Film Partners looks to acquire 15-20 films a year and will build upon Strategic Film Partners' robust international reach with expanded infrastructure and investment in acquisitions and international co-productions.
The new venture will share synergies with its distribution parent Inception Media Group but will operate independently in North America.
"The acquisition of Strategic Film Partners further diversifies our company's efforts and creates new revenue streams that will help drive growth," said Inception Media Group co-founder David Borshell. "Alex brings with him years of diverse industry experience and the passion and leadership necessary to not only build a bigger and more robust film sales company but also to expand all aspects of our consolidated companies."
"This is an exciting time for all of us at Inception Media Group," said Inception Media Group co-founder Andy Reimer. "The breadth of product and services as well as the relationships we have with our content partners and customers will elevate and distinguish us in the marketplace."
"I'm really excited about the opportunities the combined companies create," said Barder. "The global marketplace is rapidly evolving, and I look forward to leveraging both the added resources, and more importantly, Inception's intellectual capital to enable us to stay on the cutting edge for our clients and partners.
"Technology has enabled us to build a direct relationship with our audience. We embrace this revolution and, together with independent filmmakers, challenge ourselves to produce and distribute memorable commercial films that will last for generations."

WTEN: No. 1 Tar Heels Fall To No. 2 Florida, 4-2
Posted February 18, 2013
No. 1 North Carolina suffered its first dual match loss of the season Monday, falling to No. 2 Florida, 4-2, at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center. Carolina took the doubles point with a thrilling tiebreak victory on court two but was unable to sustain the momentum, losing on four of six singles courts. Caroline Price was the lone singles winner on the day, scoring a straight-set victory on court five.
Florida (4-1) took the first doubles match of the day, as Lauren Embree and Sofie Oyen topped the No. 10 duo of Ashley Dai and Whitney Kay, 8-3. That meant Carolina (9-1) would need the other two courts, and it would take almost two hours to break the deadlock.
On court three, Lauren McHale and Tessa Lyons were in a back-and-fourth affair with Alex Cercone and Brianna Morgan. After six straight breaks, Florida held for a 7-6 lead. But the Tar Heel tandem played its best tennis of the match at the end, and McHale and Lyons won the final three games to take it, 9-7.
Zoe De Bruycker and Gina Suarez-Malaguti had a chance to clinch the point on court two with a match point at 7-6. But the Gator tandem of Danielle Collins and Olivia Janowicz fought it off and the two teams entered into a pair of marathon games. At 7-7, Florida spoiled multiple game points before breaking to take an 8-7 lead. After spoiling a Florida match point, De Bruycker hit a backhand winner down the line to force a tiebreak.
Neither team could gain any separation in the tiebreak until Suarez-Malaguti's winner clinched the tiebreak, 7-5, and gave Carolina the opening point.
Unfortunately for UNC, the Tar Heels were unble to take advantage of the doubles point, dropping the opening set on four of six courts to start singles. The three lower courts were all decided in straight sets, with Price first to finish on court five with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over No. 44 Collins. Moments later, Janowicz defeated No. 79 Lyons on court six, 6-2, 6-1.
Florida evened the dual at 2 with Brianna Morgan's 6-1, 6-1 victory over McHale on court four, leaving the top three positions to decide the match.
All three matches featured split sets, and the Gators got up an early break on all three courts. In the top-10 showdown on court one, No. 4 Embree outlasted No. 7 Suarez-Malaguti, 6-4, 1-6, 6-2. Court two proved to be the deciding match, with No. 9 Oyen topping No. 30 De Bruycker, 3-6, 6-1, 6-3. Kay trailed Cercone 5-4 in the final set on court three when the match was halted.
Carolina will open Atlantic Coast Conference play next Wednesday as the Tar Heels visit Wake Forest in Winston-Salem on Feb. 27 at 3 p.m.

I spent much of last week in the company of about 70 Conservative rabbis—participants in the annual workshop sponsored by JTS that is known informally as "rabbi camp" and formally as RTI, the Rabbinic Training Institute. The schedule includes text classes in the morning offered by faculty from JTS and other institutions (I co-taught a course with Rabbi Gordon Tucker on the nature and authority of mitzvah and halakhah). In the afternoons there are professional skills workshops offered by experts in the relevant fields (e.g., psychology or management). Read the rest of this entry »

PLYMOUTH, N.H—A marine scientist and professor is the new director of Plymouth State University's Center for the Environment (CFE). Dr. Joseph N. Boyer, a native of eastern Pennsylvania, comes to PSU from Florida International University (FIU) in Miami, where he has served as faculty since 1995; he also was associate director of the Southeast Environmental Research Center at FIU from 2003 to 2009 and Director since 2009. He has over 25 years of experience in marine microbiology and ecosystem ecology spanning from Florida to Canada. Dr. Boyer believes that expanding the Center for the Environment's expertise will ultimately better serve the public, the University, and the state.
"I believe the CFE has the potential to become a central player in the region and northeast U.S." said Boyer. "The terrific relationship between University, community, and government is a testimony to prior leadership and should be further nurtured and developed."
PSU President Sara Jayne Steen is confident Boyer will help the CFE continue to be a key resource for the region.
"Joe has a powerful vision for the role the Center for the Environment can play in working with our partners," said Steen. "And the environmental issues we will face together are critically important for the future of our region."
Boyer earned a bachelor's in microbiology from The American University in 1978 and a Ph.D. in marine science from the College of William & Mary in 1987. He said his work with the Southeast Environmental Research Center will help him in his new role at the CFE.
"Through my background in ecology, in water quality, and my experience in facilitating restoration issues related to the community, state agencies and non-governmental organizations, I've come to the realization that we need to value our ecosystems economically, as well as culturally and scientifically," Boyer said. "What I bring to Plymouth State is more awareness in developing integration between the economy and local ecosystems."
University Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Julie Bernier said Boyer brings an excellent record of achievement to the CFE.
"Boyer is a highly successful scholar and researcher," said Bernier. "He will join the Center as an effective leader who knows how to build teams and develop partnerships that will make a difference in the community. Dr. Brian Eisenhauer has served with distinction as interim director of the Center," added Bernier. "During his tenure, the Center has flourished and we are enormously grateful for Brian's leadership during this interim period; he has been successful in working with partners and bringing in grant funding to support graduate students and important research in the region." Eisenhauer, a professor of Sociology, will continue his work at PSU as Director of Sustainability.

The Hidden Lives website might not supply any names for your family history, but it does give a glimpse into the lives of the children who came under the care of The Waifs & Strays' Society now know as The Children's Society. The site focuses on the time period 1881 – 1918 and is made up of documents from the society's archives. There is background information about children's homes, fully searchable editions of the various publications of the society, photographs of the children and also examples of case files.
The society cared for children both in their residential homes and also in the community. None of the children are identified by name, but if you find one of your ancestors who were taken care of by The Children's Society or a similar organisation this website will give you an understanding of the work undertaken to alleviate the suffering of the children and the lives of the children themselves.

The Tower
Dir: Kim Ji-hoon. South Korea. 2012. 121mins
The Tower is a visually explosive and at times thoroughly engaging action film that should strong attract audiences as it is poised to dominate South Korean multiplexes over the Christmas period. While lacking in originality - it does perhaps suffer from far too many supporting roles that results in some poor character development – the film finds the right balance between catering for local audiences while remaining universal in its appeal.
Combining actual images together with computer graphics, visual effects in Korean cinema have rarely looked so convincing.
The release of The Tower comes at the end of an unprecedented year for local cinema, which has surpassed 100 million ticket sales for Korean films so far this year. Much like the record-breaking The Thieves and the popular A Werewolf Boy, The Tower is part of an effective trend to emulate Hollywood films, while also tailoring them for local audiences. The film opens in the US on January 11.
Sharing much in common with the Hollywood classic The Towering Inferno (1974), it takes place at a super-luxurious tall building complex in Seoul on Christmas Eve. The owner, Mr. Jo, devises a plan for a "White Christmas" party for its tenants and VIPs, which involves helicopters circling from above, but tragedy strikes when one of the helicopters crashes into the building and causes a fire.
The film spends the opening thirty minutes or so introducing the numerous characters relevant to the film's narrative: from the building manager Dae-ho (Kim Sang-gyeong) through to the firefighter Young-kee (Seol Kyeong-gu) who's at the forefront at combating the fire. While this comes across as sluggish and not wholly necessary, the film soon kicks into gear once the fire breaks out and the race to escape from the burning building ensues.
Technically, The Tower has raised the bar in terms of its visual effects - to the extent that it can compete with similar Hollywood films made on significantly larger budgets. Combining actual images together with computer graphics, visual effects in Korean cinema have rarely looked so convincing.
The casting local stars who have featured in break-out international films – such as Sol Kyeong-gu (Haeundae, 2009), Son Ye-jin (April Snow, 2005) and Kim Sang-gyeong (Memories Of Murder, 2003) - is bound to increase the film's profile both home and abroad. Though all three are effective playing their respective characters, it's Sol who shines, but owing to a crowded cast list, he's not given the screen time he so richly deserves.
Director Kim Ji-hoon, meanwhile, will hope that his latest film can emulate the box office success of his 2007 film May 18, which grossed $49.2million, rather than see a repeat of his more recent film, creature feature Sector 7 that was deemed one of the biggest flops of 2011 despite attracting $18.6million from a $10 million budget.
Internationally, after already securing a number of sales to a range of territories including the UK, US, Germany, Singapore and Indonesia, it should continue to attract buyers, while local prospects also remain strong.

Fairfax County Needs Meals on Wheels Volunteers
Fairfax County is recruiting Meals on Wheels volunteers to deliver meals to the county's older residents. Opportunities are available throughout the county and volunteers are matched to programs in or near their own neighborhoods. Volunteers can commit to a weekly, biweekly, monthly or substitute schedule. Meals are delivered Monday through Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.
A valid driver's license is required and mileage reimbursement is available.
Meals on Wheels is part of Volunteer Solutions, a program of the Department of Family Services' Fairfax Area Agency on Aging.
"All of our programs help older people 'age in place' in their own homes," said Volunteers Solutions Director Ruth Reagan, LCSW. "Meals on Wheels help older people, who can't prepare meals for themselves, maintain their health and nutritional status," she said. "Volunteers also provide a brief but very important social connection," she added
Volunteer Solutions provides a range of opportunities to help older adults and adults with disabilities in the county including driving to medical appointments, grocery shopping, insurance counseling, Fairfax Pets on Wheels, and friendly visiting. Ms. Reagan emphasized that these opportunities are quite flexible and can be worked around a wide range of volunteer time demands. "You can volunteer with Volunteer Solutions pretty much any time of the day," she said.

Early error sets tone for Cubs in loss to Brewers
MILWAUKEE -- The Cubs' problems on Friday began on the first play in the Brewers' first, and then snowballed.
First baseman Anthony Rizzo couldn't handle Norichika Aoki's grounder, and the error led to a four-run first inning. Cubs manager Dale Sveum was ejected for defending starting pitcher Jeff Samardzija. Brewers shortstop Jean Segura stole second and was caught stealing at second in the same inning.
And Julio Borbon made his Cubs debut, arriving in time to pinch-run in the ninth and get thrown out trying to steal to end the game.
Rizzo, Luis Valbuena and David DeJesus did homer for the Cubs, but they couldn't overcome the mistakes in a 5-4 loss to the Brewers at Miller Park.
"We're still coming up short in these one-run games, short because of this play in this part of the game, or something where you can't have a completely clean game," Sveum said. "We had [a clean game] yesterday. You win those games. You don't have clean games, it's not easy to win unless you have a prolific offense."
Let's start with the Brewers' first. Aoki reached on a fielding error by Rizzo, who couldn't get his glove on the grounder. Aoki scampered to third on Segura's single, and both scored on Ryan Braun's fourth home run of the season, which came an 0-2 splitter. It was the first home run off Samardzija this season.
"It was a splitter that stayed up," Samardzija said. "You can't make a mistake against a good hitter like that. You bounce that and he takes it, you're still alive. I was going for the punchout there. I had him down two strikes and he put the bat on it."
Rickie Weeks then dropped a double in shallow right past a diving Darwin Barney, prompting pitching coach Chris Bosio to check on Samardzija. After the chat, Samardzija was ahead 0-2 against Jonathan Lucroy, who then tripled down the right-field line to drive in Weeks, complete the team cycle and open a 4-0 lead.
"You have to get him early," Braun said of Samardzija. "You saw it tonight -- once he settles in, he's as tough as anybody in baseball."
"It all started with the first ground ball of the game," Sveum said. "That set everything into a tailspin. Easy ground ball, boot it and then they were able to hit and run and execute it. That would've never happened if we got Aoki out. We outplayed them for the last eight innings. That seems to be par for the course."
Did the first play rattle Samardzija?
"It made me step off for a second there and get my wits about me and realize the situation we're in and limit the damage," the pitcher said. "I thought I made some good pitches. If you want to be the pitcher you want to be, you have to battle through those situations and keep your team in the game."
He did that. Samardzija (1-3) retired 14 of the next 15 batters after Lucroy's triple, and in the Brewers' sixth, thought a 2-2 pitch to Braun was good enough to be called a strike. He said something to home-plate umpire Chris Guccione, who took off his mask to respond. Sveum went out to defend his pitcher and was tossed.
"That's not acceptable when a guy's out there competing and [the umpire] rips the mask off for one pitch," Sveum said. "It wasn't like [Samardzija] was [complaining] about eight or 10 pitches during the ballgame."
Carlos Gomez gave the Brewers a much-needed insurance run when he led off the Milwaukee seventh with a home run to open a 5-3 lead.
The Cubs had tallied in the third when Valbuena led off against Marco Estrada (2-0) with his second home run of the season, and one out later, Samardzija walked to set up DeJesus' homer. Rizzo connected on his fifth home run leading off the eighth. But the Cubs finished 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.
The 62-degree temperature inside Miller Park felt like a warm summer day for the Cubs, who had dealt with rain and cold during their just-completed 10-game homestand, which included two games postponed because of inclement weather. There were only two games out of the 10 when the temp exceeded 44 degrees.
The game got strange in the Brewers' eighth. Segura singled to lead off against Kevin Gregg and stole second. Braun walked, and Shawn Camp entered. Camp struck out Rickie Weeks, but during the at-bat, Segura broke for third and was caught in a brief rundown, eventually sliding back into second. However, Braun had advanced to second as well.
Second-base umpire Phil Cuzzi called Braun out. Segura thought he was out and headed for the Milwaukee dugout, but first-base coach Garth Iorg told him to stay at first. Barney tried to chase after Segura with the ball. Too late. Segura was safe, until he was caught stealing second to end the inning.
"Bizarre," umpire crew chief Tom Hallion said. "Technically, [Segura] stole second, stole first, then got thrown out stealing second."
"Never saw that," Cuzzi said.
"I don't know if that's ever happened in the history of the game -- a guy just stole second and got thrown out at second in the same inning," Sveum said.
The Cubs felt they had tagged Segura when he was off the bag, but Cuzzi didn't see it that way.
"Once the call was made, Braun's a dead runner and he's out," Barney said. "He's invisible out there. Segura had the freedom to go anywhere. As he took off back to the dugout, I saw the umpire point to say [Braun] was out, and that's when I tried to grab the ball and run in that direction. I haven't looked at the replay yet, but in some ways, both of them might have been out if a tag was applied to Segura when he was off the bag."
Imagine Borbon's surprise. He got the news midday that the Cubs had claimed him, then packed, caught a plane from Dallas to O'Hare Airport in Chicago, got in a limo and arrived at Miller Park by the eighth. He got in uniform, did a few sprints in the dugout and was inserted as a pinch-runner with two outs in the ninth. Then he was thrown out trying to steal second.
Just another day at the ballpark.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 14/11/2012 (1742 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
So how much would you pay to be police chief for a day -- including lunch at the Fairmont with the guy who gets paid to really do the job?
Actually, I have the answer to what one man paid at a charity gala Friday night to win the opportunity to shadow police Chief Devon Clunis.
But first, we should introduce other winners at the same event.
Every day, while most of us only read about the violence on the streets of Winnipeg, our police officers come face to face with kids at risk, the ones most affected by crime and the lure of drugs and gangs.
Three officers who have seen it all, and have done even more, were honoured Friday evening for their off-duty volunteer efforts for children at the first annual Kiwanis Club Top Cop volunteer gala, which is where the police-chief-for-a-day prize was auctioned off.
It was an inspiring, fast-paced and first-class evening at the Fairmont that included Mayor Sam Katz, Justice Minister Andrew Swan, Winnipeg Police Association president Mike Sutherland and, of course, the new sheriff in town, Devon Clunis.
Ace Burpee, the ever-entertaining MC, introduced the three Top Cop nominees between servings of the creamy corn and sweet potato chowder soup, the main course of pan-fried beef tenderloin and the chocolate truffle mousse dessert, which made the evening flow almost as well as the wine at the table.
As for the finalists, they were all winners in my notebook.
- Const. Shaun Chornley, a 14-year veteran, has helped raise more than $325,000 for various charities for which he's volunteered. He's also the creator of Dream Child Officer for a Day, where a kid who has a life-threatening disease gets the chance to be sworn in, issued a uniform and badge and ride in a patrol car at the Santa Claus parade.
- Sgt. Geordie MacKenzie works in the central reporting unit, but his passion is sports. He's coached kids on various teams at Norberry Glenlee Community Club, Christ the King School and at the Bonivital Soccer Club. He's also a founding member of the Cops for Kids Bike Ride, who, as a member of the Police Heat hockey team, has been involved in fundraising more than $1 million for children's charities.
- Const. Kevin Gibson has used his musical talents to voluntarily perform for various charities during his nearly 25 years as a cop, but it was the wounding of three fellow cops who were shot while raiding a home on Jubilee Avenue several years ago that prompted him to create a charity of his own in their honour. Gibson operates Status4 Inc, a non-profit organization that offers free music and arts programs to kids aged seven to 17.
It was Gibson who was chosen Top Cop at the gala but everyone won Friday night, especially the kids and the other cops who quietly give their time to help children, both on and off the job.
Of course the Top Cop community volunteer award was a perfect venue for the new police chief to repeat his call for community involvement -- which he did.
And later, out on the dance floor -- before the band Rockalypso started to play -- I gave the chief a hug and said I would be happy to help him with his own Winnipeg version of Yes We Can.
Which brings us to the question of who paid how much to be police chief for a day?
The answer is Vic Switzer, owner of Allmove Record Storage.
He paid more than $1,000 for the privilege and after speaking with him I got the feeling he would have paid more.
That's because he bought it both as a way of thanking Clunis and a surprise gift for someone the chief knows.
I'm sworn to secrecy about who that someone is, but I can give you some background.
Ten years ago, Patrol Sgt. Peggy Delaney, 45, died after a long struggle with breast cancer.
Peggy was Vic's wife's first cousin and a friend of the future chief.
Clunis officiated at the funeral.
And then two years ago, Clunis was there for Audrey Delaney when he officiated again at the funeral of her 84-year-old husband, and Peggy's father, Doug Delaney.
Paying more than $1,000 to a charity was Vic's way of saying thanks to the chief and offering the gift of his presence at lunch to someone who will forever be grateful for what he did for the Delaney family.
Leading by example.
That's one way to do it when you're the Top Cop 365 days a year.

Act Now! New Australian Marine Reserves at Risk
Recently, thousands of Project AWARE divers called for new marine reserves in Australia. The Australian Government heard our voice and in June, announced a major new network of marine reserves including the world's second largest marine national park.
This was a major victory for the ocean and its wildlife, and showed the collective power of AWARE divers worldwide.
Now, the new marine reserves are under attack and we could lose them before they are legally protected. Please take a moment to ask the Australian Environment Minister to protect our marine reserves.
Since the marine reserves were announced, groups opposed to ocean protection have worked hard to stop them from passing into law. Despite 90 days of public consultation earlier this year when they could have voiced their concerns - and when you showed your support - they are now working to convince the Australian Government to reduce the new reserves.
We can keep our hard won marine reserves by showing they have broad community support, but we need to give the Minister the power to stand firm.
Please take two easy actions to tell the Minister he has your support:
1. Make a quick submission to protect our marine reserves.
2. Share this page so your friends can also protect our marine reserves.

Nice work m8.
Not yet showing with CUDA capabilities, hopefully will be able to soon !
Just showing the basic usage of cRARk.
Cracking .rar passwords with cRARk
Looking forward to the speed tests of CUDA =TAPE=, keep up the good work.
Still not underestimating the power...
There is no such thing as bad information - There is truth in the data, so you sift it all, even the crap stuff.
Just to clear things up cRark is in the bt4 repo its just not included on the .iso mainly because since its a gpu based tool we keep those separate and a optional install for people that want to use them.
apt-get install crark
Well I do not mean to promote tools which are not included in Bactrack 4, however in cRARk's case, I found a document
made by pureh@te on the use of cRARk with CUDA.
I figured, if pureh@te writes about it in a backtrack 4 tutorial, then its a tool I can can install and make a vid about for the forums
Also yes, it performed better in my tests that rarcrack.
Besides, this part of the forum is heavily moderated and if the Mods (not the viewers..) feel it is out of place, it will be removed.

when i try to use crark i just get this error:
root@bt:/pentest/passwords/crark# ./crark
./crark: error while loading shared libraries: libcudart.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
any one got any idea how i can get this to work?

I'm trying to figure out whether Python is suitable for making a tool for moving text from one Word document to a new one automatically. I know Python can do all of the necessary functions, but it has to be able to read and write to .doc & .docx
Does anyone know if that's at all feasible? I've tried all the usual google avenues plus asking some friends, but they have been of little help. Attached is a rough flowchart outline.

Europe refuses to arm Syria rebelsEdward Cody
Published: February 20 2013 - 3:00AM
PARIS: Rejecting a push by Britain, European governments have decided against providing weapons to Syrian rebels, expressing fears that more arms would only lead to more bloodshed in a conflict that has already taken nearly 70,000 lives.
The decision, by European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels, illustrates the difficulty that Europe and the United States have had in dealing with the two-year-old Syrian civil war despite their unanimous condemnation of President Bashar al-Assad.
The Obama administration, while calling on Dr Assad to step down, has also refused repeated rebel appeals for more advanced weaponry, particularly ground-to-air missiles to confront the regime's fighter jets and helicopter gunships.
US officials and European leaders have cited fears that the weapons could end up in the hands of Islamist extremists who form an important and growing segment of rebel military forces.
A report issued on Monday in Geneva by the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Syria said the Islamist fighters include foreigners - from Libya, Tunisia, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iraq and Egypt - drawn to the Syrian conflict because they view it as a Sunni jihad against Dr Assad's government.
The commission plans to submit a confidential list of individuals and units believed to be responsible for crimes against humanity in Syria to the UN in March.
The number of foreign fighters is a small proportion of the total uprising, but they are considered particularly important because of their experience in irregular warfare and use of home-made bombs.
''The war has become coloured by sectarianism, permeated by opportunistic criminality and aggravated by the presence of foreign fighters and extremist groups,'' it added.
The four-member inquiry panel, which includes former UN war crimes prosecutor Carla Del Ponte, said regime and rebel forces had committed human rights violations.
The experts said they had not been able to visit Syria, but had interviewed some 400 Syrians in person and on the telephone.
The European Union imposed an arms embargo against Syria in May 2011, covering the government as well as the rebels, but it was scheduled to expire on March 1.
Monday's decision renewed the ban for three more months but, in what was portrayed as a compromise, it contained a promise to alter the terms to permit the supply of more non-lethal equipment designed to save civilian lives.
The ministers did not spell out what that meant in practical terms. Britain and other European governments have already supplied such non-lethal aid as communications gear.
According to diplomats cited in Brussels and London, the British government had proposed renewing the embargo against the government but not the rebels.
''The UK believes international action so far has fallen short,'' the British Foreign Ministry said.
''In the absence of a diplomatic breakthrough, it is right that we continue to consider all options to protect civilians and to assist the [Syrian] National Coalition and other opposition groups opposed to extremism.''
France has also been a champion of the Syrian rebel coalition, offering it early diplomatic recognition and until recently urging a modification of the EU arms embargo similar to what Britain proposed.
But French President Francois Hollande's government has acquired fresh experience of the unintended consequences of Western help to rebels who overthrew Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in Libya in 2011.
French soldiers dispatched to Mali last month have been fighting Islamist groups equipped largely with arms plundered from Libyan arsenals after Gaddafi fell.

STOURBRIDGE lost a close contest at home to Oswestry in the ECB National Club T20 competition.
Stour beat Shifnal in the first round but couldn't get the better of their visitors last Sunday. However, it was some consolation just to be playing after Saturday saw a second wash out of Birmingham and District league fixtures of the season.
A delay in the start curtailed the match to seventeen overs and home skipper Mikesh Patel, entitled to claim the toss, batted first and saw his side post a decent target on a slow paced pitch.
Opener James Wood was bowled for two by Mark Robinson in his first over. A partnership of 24 between Alex Bingham and Josh Banks at a run rate of just over four an over put Stour back on track.
Looking to up the run rate, Bingham was next to go caught driving for 12 off Huxley in the seventh over. Stour pinned their hopes on the inform Steve Game and Josh Banks for a target beyond 130. Game produced three boundaries in his knock of 20 runs but fell lbw to Davidson playing a reverse sweep.
Stour reached 67 for three off 12 overs with the opposition relying on spin to minimise the boundaries.
One more wickets fell when Greg Jones was bowled by Flynn for six as the home side moved on to 92 off 15 overs. Matt Bradley and Banks remained not out on 12 and 65 respectively. Bank's score came off 47 deliveries with seven fours as they made 120.
Unlike his opponent, Stour skipper Mikesh Patel gambled on his pace attack for wickets. Oswestry openers Warrick Fynn and Mark Robinson relished the opportunity offered by pace put on 71 off 10 overs.
Under the cosh, Stour's players' perseverance produced the first breakthrough with the run out of Robinson for 52 in the 12 over.
Oswestry, needing 35 off 30 deliveries, lost another wicket when Alex Huxley was run out for four in the 13th.
Stour pushed the division one side to the final over requiring eight runs. Paceman James Winders delivered a mighty blow bowling Sam Hales for 16 off the very first delivery.
Winders then had Alex Davidson superbly stumped by the keeper Greg Jones off a wide delivery for a duck. The run out of opener Fynn for 29 with just three deliveries to go caused further mayhem in the Oswestry camp and put victory within Stour's grasp.
However, Dean Suter and Sam Huxley took six runs off the final two deliveries to hand Oswestry a hard-fought win.
Stour will now travel to take on Attock in the league this Saturday.
Meanwhile, in division two of the Worcestershire County League, Oldswinford and Stourbridge Social's game against Wormelow was also abandoned.
They will now take on Burghill and Tillington this weekend.
In the same league, both Lye's match at Coombs Wood and Enville's contest at home to Feckenham were called off due to the weather.
Lye and Enville are now due to play each other this Saturday. Enville will first take on Oldswinford the day before.
In division one of the Worcestershire Country League, there was no play for either Pedmore and Hagley, who were taking on Belbroughton and Colwall respectively.
Pedmore will now welcome Bromyard this Saturday and Hagley will host Droitwich Spa.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Sticky Sweet Danish
I actually don't have a favorite, I like to mix things up. And I don't think that clothes have to be expensive to look good. But no doubt Balmain has great influence this season.
Tiny ones for going clubbing, huge ones for shopping and everything in between! I'm a bag lady, LOL. At the moment I love black, studs, florals and pastel ones.
I think it would be a body butter. I looove body butters. It would be very floral and fresh scented, not too heavy and I'd call it Butter Me Up… or something. I totally just made that up, I've never really thought about it before, haha!
I'd bring my phone, my camera, a bottle of water and a snack. This could take all day! And oh, I'd be going to London.
Don't be a slave to fashion. Make fashion work for you!

You also should make sure that your physician has as much information as possible about your medical history. Tell him or her about any allergies, major illnesses, or previous surgeries. Most important, provide a list of any medications you're taking now or have taken recently. Your doctor does not want to prescribe medications after surgery that would interfere with anything else you might be taking.
Depending on the type of surgery you are having, the surgical area may or may not be shaved with a clipper.
Most operations last from 1 to 3 hours. The length of the surgery depends on how big your uterus is, if you have had surgery before, and if you are having other procedures done at the same time. The surgery usually will last longer if you are having surgery for cancer.
The length of your stay in the hospital will depend on the type of hysterectomy that was done. With any type of surgery, you may feel some pressure in your pelvic area. If you have had an abdominal hysterectomy, you may feel some tenderness and pain in the area of your incision. Your doctor will prescribe medicine to relieve your pain and to help make you more comfortable.
You probably won't feel like walking or moving around very much right after your surgery, but you will be encouraged to try. You will also be asked to cough and to breathe deeply. It's important that you do these activities, even if you feel uncomfortable, because they help prevent complications.
If you've had a vertical incision, you'll usually have a scar from your navel to your pubic area. If your uterus was very large, the doctor sometimes has to make the incision even bigger. In these cases, the incision usually goes around the navel and into yourupper belly.
A horizontal incision (sometimes called a "bikini" incision), results in a scar along the top of your pubic hairline; it may be barely visible.
Regardless of the type of incision you have, any swelling or redness in the area will usually disappear as the wound heals. For most women, the scar will fade in 3 to 6 months. If the redness and swelling do not decrease, or if you note any pus or drainage around the incision, tell your doctor.
If you had laparoscopic surgery, the small incisions in your belly will usually be closed with sutures (stitches) or surgical glue. The sutures are usually the dissolvable kind and will not need to be removed. The glue holds the skin edges together without the need for sutures.
If you had a vaginal hysterectomy, your internal incision is closed with stitches that your body will absorb.
The time needed for your recovery will depend on the type of surgery you had. Most women recover more quickly from a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy than from an abdominal hysterectomy. You can expect to return to work about 6 weeks after an abdominal hysterectomy and probably sooner after a vaginal or laparoscopic hysterectomy.
Because of the temporary shrinkage of tissues that occurs after surgery, your vagina may feel shorter or narrower even though no tissue has been removed. Resuming sexual activity can actually help relieve this discomfort by helping to stretch the vaginal tissues.
If your ovaries have been removed, you may find that your vagina is dry. A vaginal lubricant used before intercourse may lessen the dryness. Extending foreplay may also help. Hormone therapy is an option that can help relieve symptoms of surgical menopause. Ask your doctor for more information.
Large studies show that most women have an improvement in sexual interest and response after hysterectomy. But some women notice no change or have less interest or response. Talk with your doctor if you have any concerns.
Many women worry about their sexuality and how they will feel about themselves after surgery. If you had your hysterectomy before menopause, you may feel sadness about no longer being able to bear children. Discussing these and other feelings with a person you trust can help.
Therefore, many doctors recommend starting estrogen therapy as soon as possible after surgery involving removal of the ovaries.
Estrogen therapy is used to relieve menopausal symptoms, including:

How Many Slaves Are Working For You?
It's not easy to be a socially responsible consumer.
Even if you buy mostly local products and diligently keep track of corporate environmental footprints, you may still be leaving a trail of slaves in your wake. After all, who do you think is digging up the minerals in your smartphone or picking the cotton for your T-shirts?
Slavery Footprint, a new website and mobile app that launched yesterday (the 149th anniversary of the announcement of the Emancipation Proclamation) can tell you approximately how many slaves have pitched in to make the goods you enjoy on a daily basis.
The site, created in a collaboration between anti-slavery nonprofit Call + Response and the State Department's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons, uses a complex algorithm to calculate how many slaves work for you based on a number of questions, including how much jewelry you own, whether you're a gadget geek, what's in your medicine cabinet, and even whether you've paid for sex (you'll just have to check out the site to get the details on that one).
After going through the process, I discovered that there are 101 slaves toiling away for me. That is actually a fairly low number, according to Justin Dillon of Call + Response. "The issue seems far away but the truth is you can't leave your home in the morning without touching something that was made with slavery," he says. In this case, a slave--or forced laborer--is defined as "anyone who is forced to work without pay, being economically exploited, and is unable to walk away."
Call + Response obviously can't take into account the brand name of every product in your home, but the Slavery Footprint algorithm is still pretty detailed--it uses information from the Department of Labor, Department of State, and Transparency International, among other organizations.
But Dillon says the point isn't to make people ashamed of our consumer culture. "I didn't want to create another bummer calculator that only spits out bad news," he says. "I wanted to see how we can help individuals use their lifestyles to end this."
So in addition to the Slavery Footprint site, Call + Response is also offering an app that lets people check in to storefronts (a la Foursquare) to let them know that they want slavery-free products. The app also allows people to directly send letters to over 1,000 brands to demand an end to slavery in their products--and then share the companies' responses to create a crowdsourced database. By taking these actions, users receive Free World Points, which Dillon likens to carbon offsets.
The Free World Points don't exactly take away from the seriousness of the slavery problem, but they do serve as proof that users are at least trying to make a difference. "Success for us means that we've shifted the conversation in the marketplace a little more that makes it easier for corporations to engage in [the slavery issue] in a substantive manner," says Dillon.

Management Sponsored by
On any given day, founder and creative director of The Beauty Company (TBC) Alisa Marie Beyer has a lot on her calendar. From a call with formulators and product developers to a design strategy session with her creative team to karate practice with her youngest son, this busy entrepreneur's life is anything but typical. For the past four years, I've had the pleasure of working with this dedicated entrepreneur on a day-to-day basis and witnessing first-hand the strategy behind the business she drives—namely, beauty.
Honed from her experience in the worlds of PR and fashion—her life before starting The Beauty Company—Beyer has a unique perspective on starting and building beauty companies that allows her to take good ideas and make them extraordinary. It is with this unique perspective that Beyer is now taking some of her own advice and turning her attention to the creation of her own brand: Coastal Salt & Soul, a line of vintage fragrance, body, bath and home products inspired by Beyer's lifelong love of the seaside.
Now, after countless hours working with numerous beauty entrepreneurs all hoping to toss their hat into the crowded beauty ring, and deep in the process of starting her next new business, we thought it was an interesting opportunity to get Beyer's perspective on how a business can win in the beauty arena.
As she likes to say, "People come to TBC with one of two things: a dream or a dream that is broken," and this isn't necessarily always a fifty-fifty proposition. Sadly, we've seen our fair share of businesses fail. As a creative writer and avowed beauty dreamer, there's nothing I like less than seeing the twinkle fade out of another creative dreamer's eye, which is why hopefully, with Beyer's perspective on navigating this tricky landscape, every dreamer out there will have a better idea on what it really takes to succeed as a business in the big, bold, beautiful world of beauty.
Alisa Marie Beyer: A strong vision. To build a business from scratch, you need to know what the heck it is you're building.
That sounds simple, but it's not really simple at all. I've seen entrepreneurs without a strong point of view on what the vision is for their company, and I've seen entrepreneurs with a razor-sharp focus. The best know exactly what they want, they know what they need to do to achieve their vision, and they know what they need to do to get there.
They also are super at mapping out a system of how they are going to reach their goals. At my company, I have a system called a Work Plan, (much dreaded words for my staff!), and I'm a stickler for planning the work and working the plan 24-7-365.
AMB: You need to believe in your vision for the business, and you must empower everyone on your team to believe as well.
True entrepreneurs don't question their ability to succeed or whether they are worthy of success. They are always confident with the knowledge that they can make their business succeed and that they have the vision, dedication and determination to get over every hurdle that is part of the start-up process and to succeed. This confidence gives the team a sense of strength as well.
AMB: This one is so clear to me since it's my biggest issue as well—focus and discipline.
I believe entrepreneurs start companies because we are good at coming up with ideas, and we sometimes fall in love with the idea of new ideas. While they all might be really good ideas, we simply can't execute on them all, and we end up in a weird Ping-Pong scenario—bouncing from one idea to the next, using up resources while nothing is actually getting done or moving forward. (Translation: Lost revenues and increased expenses—nobody likes that!) Getting stuck in the idea phase of being an entrepreneur burns through time, energy and money, and often, nothing gets done because the focus shifts, yet again.
My team has a signal for when I'm doing this—it's the word "mangos." If I get off the path and start running around talking about idea after idea and not focusing on the business at hand (i.e., picking mangos), someone will discreetly cough, "Mangos"…which makes us all laugh and I get back on track.
On a larger scale, I also have found that identifying and writing down my five key areas of focus helps me stay on target. I keep an idea journal, where I write down all my other ideas and promise to not act on them for four weeks, which often leads me to realize a week later that the mango I was chasing after is not as ripe as I thought.

I wouldn't call myself a kayaker. I prefer paddling a canoe, even if I do have to portage now and then. But I also wouldn't consider myself a canoe snob either. Any soft-path vessel is fine by me as long as it gets me into a wilderness area.

Sunglasses + me = Love. I adore them and they are one of my favorite accessories. I was doing what I do best…online window shopping on a Saturday night and I ran across a few pairs that really caught my eye. And they all happened to be oversized. In a Jackie O kind of way of course. But, I was watching Scarface and Michelle Pfeiffer was rocking them too. Loved her style in that movie! Anyways, back to the sunglasses. I can already see myself wearing them this spring and summer with my favorite maxi dress. It's time to find that perfect pair.
