Steal the Experience
Opportunists and Creators of Innocence Lost
It has always been a pet peeve of mine that our experiences are being hijacked by profiteers who wish to design our sense of self and our self esteem in their image. Advertisers, product producers, any and all who stand to gain, monetarily, through our dissatisfaction with ourselves, work overtime to convince us that their product; their picture of perfection is the direct and, indeed, the ONLY route to happiness.
This influence over our daily lives is pervasive, all encompassing and, much of the time, subliminal. And purposely so!
The list of overt examples is overwhelming and familiar to most of us. The "hidden" suggestions, not so much. We are inundated with a view of the unreachable…never to be obtained, always just beyond our reach, description; in both verbal and pictorial, of what it is like to have achieved the ultimate dream. This dream is sold to us on all levels. Our possessions; whether they "live up to" the latest and greatest, our appearance; are we too old, too fat, hair too thin, too gray, are we tall enough, carry ourselves in "just this way," in other words, are we considered attractive and, therefore, desirable? Attractive as defined by the industry standards.
Of course, we are also smothered, daily, hourly; minute by minute with sales pitches for the "in" vehicle, the "must have" style of clothes washer, dryer, the "have to own" latest piece of technology, and, obviously, the politically correct point of view. We are instructed, step by step, in ways in which to obtain the unobtainable. And purposefully always that way.
Subtle, and not so subtlety, these messages are constantly bombarding our conscience, our subconscious, and altering the way in which we view ourselves and oneanother.
Walking along, one is being evaluated on a basis which probably is not, the personal scale the critic might use . No. His expectations have been colored and shaped by the egregious money mongers who stand to profit at our disenchantment with ourselves and others.
Children are not immune to this subterfuge. They, as are adults, are being brainwashed from the moment their delicate senses are attuned to something other than survival. Shaped from the moment they are aware of the world outside themselves they are, actually, the PRIME target of these selfish purveyors of perfection.
"Steal the children," a phrase which was once a political rally cry; (one created with the hope to free young minds from the "Stockholm Syndrome" of the enemy ….the self effacing result of those experts who foist self hatred through the sales pitch upon us, thus taking away our actual freedoms while, concurrently, hooking in another generation which faithfully follows their every suggestion. We obey, marching in lockstep to the indoctrination being fed us...we want to be accepted; to be loved by others; and by the perpetrators of the big lie) has been turned into a tool for those very forces the authors of this phrase hoped to escape. The easily influenced mind of the innocent child is fertile ground for the planting of ideas and, sadly, those with a plan to create an entire market of future consumers have this clearly in mind; to capture the spirit, individuality and imagination of young people.
One of the truly unfortunate results of this objective is the loss of innocence, delight and surprise. Kids, today, are told through hundreds of messages on TV and through popular lyrics, that it is "uncool" to be taken unawares. In other words, to be spontaneously reactive, sans "attitude," to a sight, sound, experience. No no no! To be cool means that you "know it all," have "seen it all," and have "been there, done that." No child, today, wants to look like he/she wasn't in on something. No kid wants to be caught off guard, resulting in; "I knew that," instead of an awestruck "WOW!"
Advertisers intentionally humiliate consumers into buying the lie.
Car dealers are insisting that parents are "clueless" and that only the young kids know what automobile is the right one to own. Parents are made to look like fools; laughable, socially inept idiots who have no idea as to what is "in" and what is not. This is another attempt to define our sense of worth through the eyes of our beloved children. What parent wants to look 'unhip' to their kids? . Because, to be thus means the child is embarrassed of us, and ridiculed by his peers for having such geeky parents. So, the pressure to conform to the conglomerate standards is on, big time!
Children are sexualized at an amazingly early age. All one has to do is check out the clothing sold to many kids; particularly girls, the dance 'moves' used to promote the current 'in' thing, whether that is clothing, music, or a particular holiday season. Just last night, I saw a commercial for Christmas which was completely "peopled" with kids dancing to hip/hop, machinery acting as Santa Claus and a flashing, gyrating environment meant to represent Christmas. (Electronic Santa Claus) Of course, there were no real references to what Christmas actually is; no, instead, the ad promoted an attitude designed to appeal to the young and very young, giving them ideas and suggestions about (in this case) Christmas. And, of course, the end result was to encourage these kids that, in order to be accepted, to be 'cool,' one must purchase whatever product was being sold.
Now, in itself, this is not that bad but, when combined with all the other messages kids are being sold, it all adds up to a very professional attempt to mold the child to meet the need…the market place and the need to sell sell sell.
Even the most benign examples of manipulation are causing us, children and adults alike, to expect something vastly different than what is actually 'real.' We are disappointed in the mundanity of actuality as compared to the extreme, idealized, exagerated images placed constantly before us. We feel inferior because our appearance just doesn't live up. The home we live in, the car we drive; outdated and out of style. Our accomplishments are not that impressive, our income doesn't make the grade. We, in effect, are NOT keeping up with the Joneses, the Smiths, or anyone. We are abject failures and the entire world knows it..
We MUST get that CAR, we have to have that CAREER, we have to be a member of THAT club or organization!
Never good enough, pretty enough, buffed enough, young, thin, tall, rich…
The opportunists who feed off the psychology of the human race never give up. They want to own our every thought; form and shape it; with the intention to sell us the answer to all our misgivings; all our (imagined) shortcomings in life, (the very self doubt which has been intentionally foisted upon us) all those things that we will NEVER be. And they are successful !
We have allowed ourselves to be programmed; we have accepted being told how to act, feel, respond and think. By doing this, we are playing right into the hands of the powerful commercial propogandists!
We should NOT strive to achieve a superficial definition of happiness and success. We should allow ourselves and our kids the chance to learn from doing, not viewing. Gain self confidence through personal achievement rather than through what we have. Our self worth should be developed over time, not sold to us in one instant or awarded to us for owning the right "thing," looking the right "way."
The "ME" generation. I want MINE! My MTV, "I'm worth it.' are all examples of the 'in your face' promotional push urging us to buy buy buy!.
Remember, those of us who are old enough to recall, when we were free to learn on our own? We were able to express joy without feeling "nerdy?" We could venture forth, delighting in the surprises the physical world had to offer? Now, sadly, our kids are being told what is 'delightful,' told what is exciting and what that excitation MUST include in order to be the BIG rush.
And, NEVER, be caught actually laughing! If one must smile and laugh, it must be an ironic, sarcastic chuckle…that means you "know," you're "in on it;" you're COOL!! This contributes to a loss of the sense of discovery, the element of surprise, the essence of being vulnerable. In today's cynical" world, to be surprised and vulnerable is to be a dweeb.
Video games are another hideous experience sold to the impressionable minds of children. Protected (and WRONGLY so) by the First Amendment, these purveyors of violence and greed, overt sexuality (not appropriate for young kids) and power, feed youngsters a constant supply of 'blood and guts,' misogynistic imagery and impossible physiques. Again, kids are left feeling as though real life is boring; "less than" the images they are being fed. Proponents of such 'entertainment' argue that it is not harmful to kids; that it does not alter their view or outlook. This is a rather strange opinion considering the extent to which the advertising world works to 'change and alter' the preferences and choices kids make. If repetitive viewing of gory video games really does not effect kids then, I surmise; the advertising industry is obviously throwing away multiple millions in their attempts to 'sell' us through their ads. Exposing us to ads is designed to direct our purchasing choices using images which feed our egos or cause us to question ourselves. And, if ad execs. bellieve that they can and do influence consumers then, it logically follows that continual viewing of violence, greed, and unrealistic images also effects the viewer...our kids!
Further, there are no consequences to the blood and gore of the video world. Villains go about their dastardly deeds, slashing, crashing and killing with no punishment. The viewer wants to see this! Taught to hope that the 'bad guy' gets away. Heros are not so cool.
The Internet, a wonderful and wondrous tool, is also an instrument of easy prey. Unattended children are so easily drawn to the taboo and spurious content. Questioning, naive eyes are lured by intentional means with the objective to hook that curiosity; leading to chid porn and other unethical as well as illegal pursuits.
The powers of influence are all around us. Even dictating our dietary choices from kindergarden up as well as guiding us towards particular political preferences…it is never ending and always present. When media was less provocative; less influential, we had enough time to sift through the "BS" and remind ourselves of what was real and truly valuable. Today, efforts to shape our every aspect of life are so invasive; so pervasive, that it is almost impossible to avoid; to ignore. Or detect..
Vigilance and awareness are the best tools to fight the opportunists who wish to sell us happiness. And we, as adults, have the responsibility to assure that we, and especially our kids, are not sso easily effected.
We must take back the natural, innate parental rights with which we are imbued while rejecting the blatant attempts to steal the experience!
Kathy, I just read the most fabulous , insightful hub, by "Lucky Cats." A true work of genius. Thought-provoking and packed with sad realities. I thoroughly enjoyed it and more importantly, learned so much from her simple, but powerful & realistic opinions. This is a must read and deserves An UP vote, as it is useful, awesome and interesting!
This will continue to be the case until the day that these manipulative methods cease to work. Money and material wealth feed this machine. Once people wake up and stop feeding the machine, then it will fade. Unfortunately, it may not happen in the near future. I am sickened by how we're perceived around the world. Reality TV makes us look like sex starved idiots bent on getting rich no matter what. People are becoming famous for getting filmed committing sex acts. In this day greed, for the lack of a better word, is good. I hope we can change this one kid at a time. Thank you for sharing.
The desire to be rich without responsibility has run a muck! The rich today have no censorship for our society which is different from my day as we were allowed to be children! The advertisers might as well put our young people on Sunset Strip! I agree with you Kathy to destroy a persons self-esteem for the sake of selling products to esteem them later is a crime! What the machine, "subconscious mind" learns will be used when triggered later for profit! It's hard to express such a wound in a few simple words when the injury is so deep. I understand your passion to express such a injustice to us as a whole. The universe is listening and has a way of bringing on circumstances that will bring about a change for the good! Words are the beginning of all creation!
Hi Lucky ,You have hit a nail right on the head ! I know you can do that after reading your hub about remodeling your homes. You may call this a rant ! But its the absolute truth. Go ahead make my day ......run for president , Change it all!!!!Be well my dear woman!........:-}
YES, YES, YES! I so much agree with your feelings in this hub. It is so sad but so true. It seems like it gets worse and worse. My greatest happiness never comes from material things, it comes from helping. I just pray I can pass this on to my daughter so she doesnt fall prey to all of the materialistic evils in this world. On Thanksgiving Day, my greatest joy was working at the animal shelter in the morning. I knew the dogs wouldnt be getting enough attention that day because most people were too busy so to walk them, play with them and see how happy I made them, was the one thing that made my Thanksgiving so special. This to me is true happiness and no car or outfit, etc could even come close to that amazing feeling. Thank you for writing this hub, hopefully it will be an eye opener for many!
It makes me indignant when advertisers use impressionable children to foster the "cool" imagine and in the process, use the parents as the example of losers, "not with it", knowing full well that it's the "uncool" who cover the cost of the latest gimmick. It proves your point, Lucky Cats, that we have become so indoctrinated with garbage, we don't even notice. Thank you for your perceptive, dead on, informative, well written read.

Infectious Disease Control in the Barents and Baltic Sea Regions is a project financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers. This project has created a network of epidemiologists in the Nordic countries, Baltic states and Northwest Russia. The outbreak investigation described here required collaboration between two countries, and most likely would not have been possible without this network.
A group of 46, mostly elderly Finnish tourists (mean age 64 years) belonging to the same family attended a three-day trip to Riga between the 8th and 10th of June 2001. On the morning of the 9th of June the first passengers showed signs of illness including nausea, diarrhoea, fever and vomiting. During the next few days more people became ill with the same symptoms and obtained care from the local health services after returning home to Finland. The course of the disease was severe in most affected patients and one person was hospitalised. A common point source outbreak was suspected, and the local food authority from the city of Porvoo contacted the National Public Health Institute (KTL) and National Food Agency (NFA). Because the first passenger became ill already during the second day of the trip, possible common sources were the snack served on the bus, a meal on the ferry between Helsinki and Tallinn or the evening meal in the old town of Riga. Meals in the hotels were excluded because the cases stayed in different hotels.
Both local and national Finnish and Latvian authorities participated in the investigation. The Finnish NFA organised the collection of data using a questionnaire together with the local Finnish food control authorities. KTL co-ordinated the outbreak investigation, analysed the questionnaire data and performed the further laboratory analyses of the salmonella strains. The Latvian Environmental Health Centre co-ordinated outbreak investigations in Riga.Epidemiological investigation and surveyTo determine the cause and magnitude of the outbreak, a retrospective cohort study was conducted among all the participants on the trip. Data was collected by a standard questionnaire. Participants were asked about consumption of food items during the trip, possible symptoms and treatment. A case was defined as a member of the travelling group who had diarrhoea with onset of illness between the 9th and 16th of June 2001. The collection of data was completed primarily by telephone interview, but some passengers filled in the questionnaire themselves. The results were analysed using the Epi-Info version 6.04b (CDC, 1996).The Latvian National Environmental Health Centre in collaboration with Riga Environmental Health Centre organised and carried out epidemiological investigation in the restaurants and took samples (on June 14th) for microbiological analysis from food items and personnel working with the evening meal restaurant. The meals consumed during the boat trip from Helsinki to Tallinn were ruled out based on the knowledge that no other complaints were made among the other 700 passengers on the boat. All passengers ate the snack served on the bus.
Faecal samples were asked from all participants of the travelling group. Thirty-nine (87% of the passengers) faecal samples were obtained. A standard panel of enteric bacterial and viral pathogens (salmonella, shigella, campylobacters, yersinias, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, other bacilli, Clostridium perfringens, calicivirus and astrovirus) was obtained and analysis was conducted using standard protocols in Finnish clinical microbiology laboratories. The isolated strains (27) were sent for further typing to the Laboratory for Enteric Bacteria at KTL.
Forty-five of the 46 participants (98%) completed the questionnaire. Nineteen (42%) met the case definition. The incubation period and symptoms were typical of salmonella infection. The majority of the group ate the same food during the whole trip, making a comparison between the exposed and unexposed difficult. Members of the group had noticed themselves that none of the six lactose intolerants became ill.Initial analysis of the data did not show a significant association between any food item and illness.Based on the raw data from the questionnaires, 18 passengers ate fruit salad as dessert during the evening dinner on June 9th. However, the group leader had reported that the fruit salad was only served to the six lactose intolerants. To get more precise data a second round of telephone interviews was organised by KTL for the whole group. It was noticed that some of the passengers had inadvertently confused the fruit salad on June 9th with the evening dessert on June 10th when it was served for the whole group. In addition, the original information that the main dessert served for the non-lactose intolerants was curd ice cream was also incorrect, the true dessert was a cake containing raw egg cream. As a result of second interview, only 10 people ate the fruit salad as some passengers shared their desserts. This highlights the importance of the quality of the data collected through questionnaires and information obtained from the organisers of the trip.In the analysis following the additional data collection the cake containing raw egg cream was the only food item that was significantly associated with the illness (p-value 0.03). Nineteen of the 38 (50%) persons eating the cake containing raw egg cream met the case definition as compared to none of the six non-exposed.Sixty-nine percent (39/45) of the cultured faecal samples were positive for Salmonella enterica. The samples were negative for other enteric pathogens examined. All patient strains were of serovar Salmonella Enteritidis and belonged to the phage type PT 4. Additionally, all strains were resistant to nalidixic acid, often implicating decreased susceptibility to fluoroquinolones. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of all these strains to ciprofloxacin was 0.19 mg/L. This MIC value is slightly lower than the presently accepted resistance breakpoint (≥0.25 mg/L). However, MICs to ciprofloxacin of fully susceptible strains are ≤0.064 mg/L. This serovar of salmonella is very uncommon in indigenously acquired salmonella infections in Finland. In addition, no endemic reservoir has been recognised among domestic food animals in Finland. These findings thus implicate a foreign source. Salmonella Enteritidis of the same PT 4 with MIC 0.19 mg/L was also isolated from another cake of the same kind containing raw egg cream that the group had as a dessert during the dinner. The sample of cake containing raw egg cream was taken in the restaurant on the day of epidemiological investigation (June 14th), 6 days after the tourists were exposed. The mentioned cakes were produced in a bakery located within walking distance from the restaurant. Epidemiological investigation was also performed and samples taken in the bakery. All other samples from the restaurant, bakery, from the ingredients of the cake containing raw egg cream and personnel tested were negative. The Finnish patients were informed about the potential threat of secondary cases through incomplete hand-hygiene. No secondary cases were reported.This investigation highlights how the rapid action of the local Latvian and Finnish authorities enabled us to trace this outbreak. It is especially remarkable as often, even within a country, food samples may be very difficult to obtain from the food consumed. This was only accomplished through personal relationships between National Environmental Health Centre in Riga and National Public Health Institute in Helsinki. This study illustrates on a general level the importance of networks between health and food control authorities among countries. The positive attitude of the passengers also contributed to the investigation. Very effective dissemination of information and high response rate to the questionnaires within the group was possible despite the fact that they lived scattered in southern Finland.

New York - Liberia's Charles Taylor, the first African head of state to be prosecuted for war crimes by an international tribunal, used to work for the CIA, the Boston Globe newspaper reported this week.
The report, based on information uncovered through a freedom of information request made six years ago, said that Taylor had a relationship with the US spy agency for years, although the details of what he actually did were unclear.
"The Pentagon's response to the Globe states that the details of Taylor's role on behalf of the spy agencies are contained in dozens of secret reports - at least 48 separate documents - covering several decades. However, the exact duration and scope of the relationship remains hidden," the daily said.
The former Liberian president is awaiting the verdict in his war crimes trial at the Special Court for Sierra Leone in The Netherlands.
He is accused on 11 counts of war crimes and crimes against humanity on claims that he armed Sierra Leone's Revolutionary United Front (RUF) in exchange for illegally mined, so-called "blood diamonds".
The Sierra Leone civil war claimed some 120 000 lives in the 10 years to 2001, with RUF rebels, described by the prosecution as Taylor's "surrogate army," mutilating thousands of civilians by hacking off their limbs.
Taylor pleaded not guilty to all charges.
The Boston Globe report backed up long-standing rumours of Taylor's work with the Central Intelligence Agency.
According to the report, he started working with the agency in the early 1980s.
After he was indicted and left the presidency in 2003, he lived openly in Nigeria, which the United States considers a regional ally. He was finally handed over to the international court in 2006.
Could not possibly be anything important.
Why because its the CIA and they are a pure and honest originasation?
Who still says the conspiracy theorists are all daft?
If he is as stupid as he looks in this pic, then god help the cia and how they use the info he gave them...
The bottom line is:
If you want to survive, you have to be a non-arselicker or full-arselicker. Half-arselickers like Taylor and Gadaffi get their faces crushed by the Imperial yanki/anglo/franco arses.
Wouldn't be suprised to hear in 50 years time that Mandela was also a CIA stooge.
Bloody agent! Who are you working for?
Haha so they recruited him while he was in jail? Like your statement about arselickers though.
there are rumours that it is not even the real mandela
Now our leaders are in bed with China, so "much" better? At least they are not imperialists and not after our minerals?
No one can deny that the Chinese have a vested interest in acquiring access to our resources but that unlike western nations they do not come here with guns in their hands and demand that it all be handed over for free. Instead, they put their cash on the table and make an offer. Westeners are not prepared to make a better offer because they feel entitled to get it for free.
Here are a few more things that the Chinese, unlike western imperialists, do not do:
Force locals to give up thier names. Force people to give up thier own religiious practices, force people to leave their homes and on and on and on.
Few in this country are aware of the way trade agreements, negotiated by stronger Western governments, tend to negatively impact African development. If you study GATT and other binding agreements African nations are required to sign in order to sit at the negotiating tables, you start to see the problems (cotton subsidization is a prime example).
It is hard for the west to admit that it has never shared enduring technologies or knowledge with Africa let along fair trade relations.
Unlike Westerners who just wanted to cart away raw materials, Chinese businesses are building industry locally. Refineries, chemical plants, plastics factories, garment shops, and all the way down to higher efficicency chicken farms and other agricultural projects. There is MASSIVE technology transfer to the Africans, all gratis. No claim of IP, no exobitant royalties.
Graziella. Please Google "China human rights abuses" and enlighten us on how much better it is than the "western imperialists". Also, you might want to consider that the "imperialist atrocities" are part of history, whereas the Chinese human rights abuses as well as their own kind of imperialism are part of the present.
As for Mandela possibly being a CIA stooge....my only advice would be less TV / movies / conspiracy websites / drugs and more appreciation of your hard won liberties.
The west's human rights attrocities are systematic and pervasive. Look no further than Iraq, Guantanamo. Dropping bombs on poor villagers is inhuman. Carpet bombing is inhuman. Destroting a country's water supply is is a war crime under the geneva convention. Rendition is inhuman. Extra judicial killings are inhuman.
Need I go more?
People lie and so do governments. What are secret government agencies if not conspiracies?
@Graziella . The Chinese (goverment) is full of secret agencies and have a vast spy network. Why hold their conspiracy in higher esteem?
Who said I do, but was merely responding to your specif point about conspiracy websites. One does not need to engage in conspiracies to question the government, all one needs is a skeptical and inquisitive mind (and the "balls" to back it up).
Never argue with a fool, people might not be able to tell the difference.
Supercilious wannabe smart-alecky one-liners are the preserve of fools.
What you say about the Chinese , all sounds so great in theory.
But, go and ask the Lesotho people how it is working for a Chinese company.
Go and ask Michael Sata, Zambia's president, how he feels about about Chinese investment in his country.
But you don't even have to go that far.
Ask South Africans what its like working for the Chinese.
Go to Bruma Flea Market,in JHB, an enterprise where over the last 20 years, hard working Africans built a "world class "African Art" Flea Market.
Last year, the Chinese bought all the land where this market is situated.
Ask the traders of this market, how they been treated , and have their busineses ruined by total greed
You want to share you anti Western feelings on this site, fine,
But don't talk absolute rubbish, GUTTER RUBBISH !!!!!
Not surprising; the USA likes to keep dictators as friends. Equatorial Guinea is another example.
and gave Naomi Campbell diamonds
So what, let him rot in hell.
So is Jacob Zuma and Bob Mugabe
So what? Osama bin Laden worked for the CIA as well and I think Julius Malema is also a CIA employee.
In actual FACT, Bin Laden was recruited by the CIA to fight the soviets in Afghanistan.
People unfortunately have a very short memory and tend to forget anything uncomfortable within minutes of hearing it. Most third world countries especially those in Africa are run by US puppets, Gadaffi himself was a US plant who didn't tow the line. As for the CIA, well what can we really say of the Organisation founded using NAZI officers? other than its alleged to be the largest organised crime syndicate in the world rumored to have single handedly facilitated almost every single drug transaction since the Vietnam war.
The US contrary to assertions to the contrary made here is still the largest violator of human rights of any country in the world including China, the only difference is the US does it under the pretense of saving the world, and also goes to great lengths to ensure that non of its atrocities occur on US soil. As for China, their business practice is aimed at enriching China, not the country they they are buying from, the money they put down as enticement being only a small portion of the profits they expect to make. The argument that they are better as an investor than western countries also overlook the fact that their manufacturing and mineral collection programs use exclusively Chinese personnel, with locals only being given minimum wage menial posts. their response to strikes and go slows being to shoot the workers as reported in China and even more recently in Africa. Maybe the west should turn its back on Africa for 10 to 20 years, let China have the run of the continent and then see how Africa feels about Chinese money.
If the Chinese model for engagement in Africa ends up achieving nothing, but does not result in Africans being reduced to debt slaves, it will still have succeeded a hundred times more than the Western model.
There are as many starving children in China as there are in Africa. So it's up to Africa to practice good governance and promote the best and brightest to negotiate with the Han.
A Graziella. Watch this clip, it might help you to have a more balanced view: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExWfh6sGyso
My politics have been formulated by looking at both sides of the political divide. I can also link you to all kinds of sites and videos to strengthen my point but won't be doing so because I have studied history and can see what is happening currently.
I don't proffess do know everything!

Just when schemes and employers might have thought they were safe from any more dramatic developments in 2016, we have now seen the return of guaranteed minimum pension (GMP) equalisation, in the form of another Government consultation on the topic.
Key points
- A clear requirement under UK law to equalise GMPs? Most schemes recognise that they will need to "equalise" GMPs eventually, i.e. to address the inequality in the design of this benefit between men and women, but their current approach is to do nothing until the scheme winds up or until legislation is forthcoming. That will cease to be possible if the Government legislates such that it will be a clear requirement of UK law for pension schemes to "equalise" GMPs. That has still not happened, but it is clearly a point to which the Government intends to return, and it could do so as early as 2017.Ā
- New method of equalisation proposed The Government has now published a draft method for how to go about equalisation. This method is considerably more in line with what the pensions industry wanted than the method that the Government previously consulted on in 2012 and then dropped. However, the Government does not endorse it as legally valid, and other methods are possible, so schemes will need bespoke advice before adopting it.
- Consultation response Employers and schemes may wish to respond to this consultation, either directly or by passing comments to pensions advisers who can reflect them in their own responses. The consultation closes on 15 January 2017.
Guaranteed minimum pensions (GMPs) accrued in occupational pension schemes that contracted out of the State Earnings Related Pension Scheme (SERPS) between 1978 and 1997. Their basic aim was to give members a guaranteed minimum pension from the contracted-out occupational scheme which is broadly equivalent to the pension they had given up in SERPS.
The problem is that SERPS, and therefore also GMPs, discriminated between the sexes. Because state pension age for women was 60, women had fewer years in which to accrue a full pension, and were given a higher accrual rate to make up for that. Also, they could access their GMP five years earlier than men.
For SERPS, the inequality was not an issue, as it was a state benefit. Pensions from occupational pension schemes, however, count as "pay", i.e. remuneration for work, as was established by the Barber case back in 1990. It is a fundamental principle of EU law that there should be equal pay for equal work between men and women, and that is the rationale for why GMPs need to be equalised.
If the GMP were a standalone benefit, equalising it would not be so problematic. Much of the complexity derives from its interaction with the benefits of the occupational pension scheme. It acts sometimes as an underpin, and sometimes as a separate tranche of benefit, depending on the member's employment status and age from time to time.
This complexity has made the question of how to equalise GMPs notoriously difficult, and schemes generally do not take the risk of attempting it, until such time as they are wound up.
The 2012 consultation
EU law, naturally, contains nothing on GMPs specifically, but it does have much on the principle of equal pay for equal work. The Government's understanding of EU law is that it requires GMPs to be equalised, and that this applies even where there is no "comparator", i.e. no person of the opposite sex in the same scheme relative to whom an individual has been disadvantaged.
Accordingly, the Government published draft regulations in 2012 to address this issue. If they had been passed, it would have been a clear requirement under UK law to equalise GMPs. As things stand, without these regulations, it is just about possible to argue that, in the absence of a test case, it is not necessary to do it in order to comply with EU law, although we doubt the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) would sympathise with such arguments.
To accompany the regulations, the Government published a suggested method for how to go about equalisation. This was met with widespread criticism that it was too generous and would be excessively costly to administer. The principle on which it operated was that when a pension came into payment, and every time it was increased thereafter, a comparison should be carried out against what it would have been had the member been of the opposite sex, and the higher of the two should be paid.
That method has perverse results. It is possible, and indeed quite common, for the sex that is disadvantaged by the inequality in the GMP design to change over time. Therefore, following this method, a man and a woman with identical service and salary history might both get an increase in their benefits as a result of equalising in this way. That surely goes beyond what is meant by "equalisation", which should simply be the uplifting of the benefits of the disadvantaged sex to those of the advantaged sex.
What has happened now?
The Government presumably still intends to make it explicit in UK law that GMPs need to be equalised (something which the Government believes, probably rightly, is already an implicit requirement of EU law). The current consultation gives away nothing on the timing of that, but confirms that the Government will look at the matter again.
The point of the current consultation is to set out a different method for carrying out equalisation to that which was proposed in 2012. The new method involves a one-off actuarial calculation of the actuarial value of the member's own pension, and what their pension would have been had they been of the opposite sex. If the latter is higher, that excess is used to buy the member a more generous pension.
Whichever is higher, the GMP is then converted into a normal scheme benefit, using the existing GMP conversion legislation, but with some technical amendments so that it works better for this purpose. The ability to convert GMPs into normal scheme benefits has been on the statute books since 2009, but rarely used owing to the uncertainties over GMP equalisation.
Many in the pensions industry had been lobbying for this sort of approach to GMP equalisation, and the Government's adoption of it will be welcomed.
As things stand, the proposed method is out to consultation, so the definitive position will not be known until 2017.
Will schemes be able to rely on the Government's method?
In the consultation document, the Government is at pains to stress that the proposed method does not constitute legal advice that is sound. The CJEU's views on how, and whether, to equalise GMPs remain unknown.
Schemes cannot therefore assume that adopting the Government's method is safe. They will need bespoke advice from their legal and actuarial advisers on any GMP equalisation exercise. The consultation allows the possibility that schemes may use other methods to equalise GMPs.
Does EU law still matter?
Despite the EU referendum result, EU law continues to apply in the UK while the European Communities Act remains in force, and nobody knows when or how that may cease to be the case.
Successive governments have been content to kick GMP equalisation into the long grass for the 26 years since the Barber judgment, so one has to wonder why they could not have left it there a little longer, in the hope of keeping it there until such time as the EU dimension maybe ceased to be an issue. If the UK does cease to be subject to EU law, that would remove the element of uncertainty and enable parliament to legislate, if it so chose, to exclude GMPs from the principle of equal treatment (justifying such a move, perhaps, on the grounds that they simply reflect the inequality in SERPS).
However, the Government is clearly not adopting that approach, but is moving ahead with GMP equalisation. Even if it were not, a relevant case is currently going through the courts, with a decision expected in 2017, and so the issue was likely to have been forced onto schemes' attention in 2017 either way. So in short, schemes and employers need to be prepared for this.
What should schemes do now?
We continue to take the view that for most schemes, it is acceptable to delay GMP equalisation a little longer to see what legislation the Government actually puts forward, following the current consultation. Schemes that are in wind-up do not have that luxury as they will need to equalise their GMPs before they can complete the wind-up.
All schemes and employers with GMPs should discuss the potential effect of the Government's thinking with their legal and actuarial advisers. Many advisers, ourselves included, will be responding to the consultation, and schemes and employers may wish either to respond also or to feed thoughts into their advisers to take up with Government on their behalf.
We will also continue to actively engage with Government via the industry bodies of which we are members (such as the Association of Pension Lawyers and Society of Pension Professionals) to ensure that any legislation is clear and as free as possible from unintended consequences.
If the Government does pass legislation in the manner it originally planned, then schemes will have to get started on GMP equalisation even if they are not winding up. Whilst the Government's new GMP equalisation method is likely to be considerably less expensive than its previous draft method, employers are likely to want to consider the possible effect on the liabilities and to make representations to the Government accordingly.

Elemental Kingdoms Hack
Elemental Kingdoms Hack is a special tool for Android and iOS that will give you unlimited gold, gems and energy. We really enjoyed playing and hacking this game; it's made by Perfect World Entertainment, but is this developer different from others? It seems not; they also ask money for resources through micro-transactions. But this game is an enjoyable card game which tries to imitatae, at a point, Hearthstone. With 200 different card and over 80 stages, and also PVP matches, this game really deserves being hacked by us, the g4mehacks team.
Gold is used for purchasing cards, and you need a lot of gold (5 cards cost 10K gold). Gold can be earned in ranked PVP matches, but you can be better at this matches. Gems cost real money in game, and you can but with them cards (1 card for 30, 11 cards for 300) and fire tokens. The energy, which is shown by the Little Blue Running Guy, is required to battle, explore, and finish quests. And low energy is the worst thing in this game, and then what? You will ask your firends for energy? Why humiliating yourself asking for energy when you can be the one who sends free energy to all your friends? Be the most popular guy by using this hack: everybody will appreciate the fact that you are helping them with the energy that they need the most.
The Elemental Kingdoms Hack generates:
- Unlimited gold

The Silent Relationship Killer – Part 3 (by Drew/Easy Gay Life)
The previous two articles warranted very helpful comments and I hope that this can do the same for Drew. Here is the conclusion of his series posting by Easy Gay Life.
I would date a few more guys before I would meet Scott in 2007, most notably Kevin, Jeffrey and Brian. Kevin was very interesting because he would be the first guy Iwould choose to break up with because of sex. He would cry after every sexual experience we would have because he felt being gay was a sin. Needless to say we never had anal sex. I met Jeffrey in mid 2006. We both shared the same feelings about anal sex.
In fact, Jeffrey had never had anal sex. He was 35 years old. I was 38. He had just gotten out of a 2 year relationship. I really liked him and thought this was going to be the perfect relationship. Finally, there would not be the pressure of anal sex weighing heavily on me.
I was going to have a partner that would only want 'drew sex' and I would not have to constantly think about performing! I was so excited. However, as luck would have it, Jeffrey's ex wanted him back and Jeffrey said he owed it to his ex to give his ex another chance. He did and I was forced to move on. I met Brian a few weeks later and we entered into what would be a six month relationship…my longest before Scott.
During this relationship, we would try to have anal sex only a few times. Brian really liked me and was willing to overlook my inadequacy. I was able to penetrate him on one occasion and actually ejaculate. But it never felt right as the entire time I was worried about not going limp. I'm not sure why I didn't go limp but I know we would try a few times after that and I would experience PI. I broke up with him because I was tired of the stress of having to perform. I definitely regressed after Brian. I had decided that it would be easier to either have relationships with guys like Jeffrey, or not have a relationship at all. I even went back to meeting guys online just for 'drew sex'.
I met Dr. Yao in the summer of 2007. He was just like Jeffrey in that he had never had anal sex. He was 42 years old. I was 39. He was a great man who would not let me spend a dime of my money. Things were going great. It was while I was dating him that I met Scott. In my defense, I had told Dr. Yao that we were not exclusively dating and he was ok with that. Though later he would tell me that I broke his heart.
Anyway, I met Scott online in a chat room. We chatted for a bit and I remember being impressed at his depth of conversation. It wasn't about sex at all. In fact, that never even came up. I would meet him for the first time on August 21, 2007. I was 39 years old and he was 28 years old. (Although I had changed my birthdate to 1970 a few years ago so Scott though I was 37). I met his cat and his roommate during our first innocuous meeting. I remember leaving him thinking that this guy was way out of my league. That would prove to not be true as we ended up dating, even after I stood him up one time.
Scott and I would have a rocky relationship, to be sure. Scott is a young attractive man that knows what he wants. He seemed very patient with me as we would only engage in 'drew sex' for a few months. He is the most giving man I have ever met. He truly is the perfect partner. I knew it was only a matter of time before Scott would want anal sex.
Finally when we tried to have anal sex and again I experienced PI. Scott stayed patient with me and didn't call me out on it too much. I would bottom for Scott a few times and actually began to enjoy it. I remember Scott telling me that he always perceived that he was hurting me because I couldn't relax. I finally learned to relax but I do feel that I'm not a true bottom. I enjoy it, but I can take it or leave it.
The first year we would have 'drew sex' a lot. That seemed like it was enough for Scott and it was definitely enough for me. But I knew he needed and indeed wanted more. I began to get very anxious because I knew the time would come where it would be a standoff between sex and relationship. Scott would actually draw those lines a few times.
It would cause a few mini break ups for us, actually. I even tried Levitra for a brief time during our first year together. After trying it, I got an erection and Scott and I had sex! I literally cried like a baby! It felt amazing. It was the first time I actually had an orgasm with someone during sex that I loved. It was really the first time I had sex for enjoyment. I wanted to have it everyday! I promised Scott that we would have it everyday.
I thought everything was going to be ok! Yet, my mind continued to play tricks on me because it told me that I needed medicine that I was still impotent and that the medicine wouldn't always be there. The next time I tried Levitra with Scott the Levitra failed me and I was back to square one. Even ED drugs couldn't help me. But Scott was great about it because he actually did love me and I loved him. So we would work through it.
I remember the first time I was able to have sex with him without drugs. It was after a major fight. We were literally about to break up! That day we got in the bed, cried and began to kiss. I got aroused. He was aroused. I didn't even thing about erections and keeping it and pleasing him. I just thought about not wanting to lose him and how much I loved him. We had sex twice that day. It felt better than ever. The most amazing experience ever!! That would be the first time in my life that I would have ACTUAL sex twice in the same day. We would have sex for the next few days! I was in bliss.
Scott told me something very poignant during the short time periods where we had actual sex. He told me that he didn't like to touch me because he knew that it would only serve to frustrate him because it wouldn't lead to actual sex but while we were having actual sex he would touch me and be very affectionate with me while we were sitting on the couch or in the bedroom. I am not upset by that but it does stick with me. I certainly understand and see his point of view.
However, my mind again began playing tricks on me!! I kept telling myself that Scott wasn't really enjoying the sex. That I really wasn't that good. It wasn't long after that that I would experience PI again! I would experience PI until May 20, 2009. For some reason, during my birthday, I would be able to have sex with Scott. Everything was great again! Yay. This lasted only a week. PI would return. On November 27, 2009 I would be able to have sex with Scott again! Yes. Everything was perfect! This would last a few short days and here PI would come calling yet again. This yo-yo PI would seriously fuck with my mind and Scott's I'm sure.
It has gotten worse lately. The first two years of our relationship we would engage in 'drew sex' a lot. To be plain, we would have oral sex almost every day. Now it is not even every week.
Let me explain exactly how I feel while going through this PI. Firstly, I feel alone. I feel that no one truly understands. Secondly, PI literally consumes my thoughts. It has become my new obsession/addiction replacing my internet porn/chatting/cybersex.
When Scott is asleep in the morning, I just lay next to him thinking about how awesome it would be to have sex with him. There are times when I will have my morning erections and I will just rub my penis on him and it won't go limp. But get this, there are times at night time when we are going laying to go to sleep I will have an erection. We will spoon with me behind and my penis will rub against his butt and my penis will actually go limp. I will lay there thinking or hoping my penis will stay hard and that Scott will know I'm a real man but as it rubs against his butt I will feel it go soft. There are times in the morning when I will just rub my penis against him until I cum. It feels so good because my penis stayed hard but I know that it's the sex he needs.
Now I am to the point where I get out of bed before he gets up because I don't want to experience the disappointment of having an erection and having it go limp because I'm afraid we might have morning sex. Yet I want to have morning sex. Literally, two weeks ago I woke up to a wet dream as I was fantasizing about having sex with Scott. I feel so badly for him and feel that I'm taking so much away from him. The guilt alone is becoming more than I can stand. The guilt of not being able to please him. The frustration of not being able to perform.
What am I going to do about it?
- Well, I promise to be intimate with him no matter what the outcome. Whatever happens – happens. I've been avoiding intimacy with him as I never have before.
- Keep the lines of communications open. I always project and think he is tired of hearing about it. He's likely tired of the lack of intimacy and not even trying anymore. We have to talk about it.
- Maintain this blog. I hope to help people realize that PI is a mental illness and/or disorder just like depression, social anxiety disorder, ADHD, ADD, etc.
- I have started a thread on the Easy Gay Life forum. Anyone can discuss this topic with me anonymously. Here's the link: My Forum Thread
- Explore some sex therapy options, if affordable. I know I can't just stop thinking about being PI. If I could then I would already be 'cured'. I can't do this alone, anymore.
PI is a silent relationship killer that too many people don't recognize as a disorder. I am confident that we can bring awareness to it and not be ashamed to talk about it. It's 'ok' to talk about medical impotence because that can be readily explained but where are the voices for PI? Well, hopefully the voices will be heard here. Hopefully all of us can experience more healthful satisfying relationships for ourselves and our partners.
(The first two installments of "The Silent Relationship Killer are here and here)

I think this is something that should be talked about. Many people think PI is something that can be cured in a day, when in fact it might not ever go away. Your relationship seems to be going down a rocky slope, but It's good that you keep trying and not give up. Giving up only shows that you won't try to 'fix' this situation. Good job with the post. I hope things go well.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]
I couldn't agree more. It's not an easy conversation to have and it takes guts to step up to it. I've lost touch with the author, and the website I crossposted this from seems to be abandoned. I hope things have improved for him; I haven't had any contact with the author since shortly after I posted his piece.VA:F [1.9.22_1171]VA:F [1.9.22_1171]

Sony Ericsson chief executive
Bert Nordberg has hinted the company may be working with Sony on a Playstation smartphone
which could be launched at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Speaking to the Wall Street
Journal, Nordberg said he was aware of the speculation that Sony Ericsson was
developing a Playstation smartphone with Sony.
He said: 'There's a lot of
smoke, and I tell you there must be a fire somewhere. Sony has an extremely
strong offering in the gaming market, and that's very interesting.'
Nordberg added that he
wants to make a lot of 'noise' with a new product at the Mobile Word Congress
in Barcelona in
He also said there is no
technological difficulty in launching a gaming-oriented phone. The main
challenge, he said, is that the company has to consult many lawyers to
negotiate rights issues with game publishers. 'I'm very glad that we work with
a company like Sony, who actually knows how to do it,' he added.
The handset is expected to
be launched as part of Sony Ericsson's Xperia range on the Android platform,
with the videogames on an app.
Asked why Sony Ericsson
hasn't already released a phone employing Sony's gaming resources, Nordberg
said: 'I haven't dug into that history, but the future might be brighter.'
The collaboration between
Sony and Sony Ericsson is long overdue and lags behind the recent launch of Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 portfoliothat offers
gamers the ability to link up to their Xbox games.
Sony has, in the past, been
reluctant to commit to a gaming phone under the Sony Ericsson brand because of
fears it could dilute the Playstation brand.

Filed under: Healthy Kids
It's been less than a year since 8-year-old Aussie, Bindi Irwin lost her father, famed wildlife conservationist Steve Irwin, in a tragic accident. It seems like ever since the charming youngster has been hard at work. She's got a number of projects on the go including TV specials; she's a tourism ambassador for Australia, she has released a Bindi doll and completed a promotional tour of the United States.
To me, it seems like a lot of work for a kid in general, but especially so for a child who has recently lost a parent. I want to be clear that I am not in any way judging the family or the way in which they have chosen to move forward since the elder Irwin's death. I know that everyone grieves in different ways and I'm sure that Bindi's mother is doing what she knows is best for her child. I have no children of my own and have no idea how I would react in a similar situation so would never judge this, or any other family.
I brought this up because I'm curious to find out what others think. Would those of you with kids allow them such high-profile exposure at such a young age, and after such a traumatic experience? Do you think that the work Bindi is doing will help her stay connected with her late-father? Are there any other opinions out there that you'd like to share?

Outlook 2003 Export Problem - reply
I fixed the same issue by setting the permissions on the folder I wanted to export. I made myself the owner of the folder and then the folder list was populated. I was then able to select the contact folder I wanted to export.
Tried that
Thanks again for the suggestion. I checked the permissions, and I'm already the owner (and I'm the administrator) with full authorities. Any other suggestions?
same problems
I've just upgraded to 2003 and I'm experiencing the same problem. Has anyone found a solution at all?
Already tried the suggestion made here with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated.
Solution to Outlook Export Problem
I resolved the blank folders problem by simply running Disc Cleanup (File->All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->Disc Cleanup). Ensure you delete "Office Setup Files" on all drives that may contain them.
For specific details, Microsoft Support Article ID's 825933 and 829985 helped immensely.

How to deploy to multiple Xbox/Xbox 360 machines with IncrediBuild
Posted by - NA - on 28 May 2006 03:17 PM
Description: When several consoles are specified in the "Configuration properties|Debugging" properties page, IncrediBuild seems to only deploy the image to one console.
Resolution: Because debugging information is not stored by the Visual Studio IDE in the project file, you must specify the semicolon-separated console list again in IncrediBuild's "Solution Settings" dialog (access via the IncrediBuild IDE menu) "General" page, under "Xbox options->Remote machines". This will make IncrediBuild deploy to multiple machines.
