EasyJet warns of £125 million lost profit after year of 'extraordinary events'
Budget airline easyJet dragged the London market lower after spate of terror attacks and the plunging pound inflicted a hefty blow to profits.
The FTSE 100 Index was down 33.29 points to 6,999.96, following a dismal update from the airline, stating that a series of "extraordinary events" had left it nursing £125 million in lost profit.
EasyJet has been grappling the fallout of terror attacks across Europe, Egypt and Tunisia, air traffic control strikes in France and political turmoil in Turkey, while it said the post-Brexit vote plunge in the pound will also cost it £90 million.
Shares were down nearly 7% or 69.5p to 933.5p, with negative sentiment spreading to British Airway's owner International Consolidated Airlines Group (IAG), which dropped 15.5p to 381.3p.
George Salmon, equity Analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said easyJet should also be concerned about rivals encroaching on its territory.
"The group say that weaker sterling is making going abroad less affordable for the average Brit, while the rising threat of terrorism is putting customers off too.
"These are industry-wide factors, however the competition is hotting up too. Other airlines are looking covetously at easyJet's market share, with pressure coming from both the budget players Wizz and Ryanair, and 'premium economy' offerings like Vueling."
While the London market paused for breath after coming close to an all-time high on Tuesday, the pound continued to struggle on the currency markets.
Sterling plumbed new depths against the greenback, falling 0.7% to hit a fresh 31-year low of 1.264 US dollars.
The pound was also well down against the euro, dropping 0.3% to reach a five-year low of 1.134 euro.
Concerns that the Government will opt for "hard Brexit" by breaking away from the single market to tighten controls on immigration have taken its toll on the pound in recent sessions.
However, Connor Campbell, financial analyst at Spreadex, said a Brexit warning from German Chancellor Angela Merkel was also causing problems for sterling.
"It seems that we are firmly back in Brexit-dominating territory - even the mildest squawkings from the news wire are causing pain for the pound.
"Today it was the turn of Angela Merkel to make sterling's life even more difficult, the German leader resolute in her claim that freedom of movement is a must if Britain wants to stand any chance of remaining in the single market."
The price of oil rose 1% to 52.39 US dollars a barrel following reports on Wednesday that US crude inventories fell for a fifth consecutive week.
Brent crude prices were also buoyed by growing hopes of an output cut, with Opec oil ministers and Russia's energy minister set to meet at a conference in Istanbul, Turkey.
In UK stocks, Aviva was down 10.1p to 443.3p, Kingfisher was off 5.2p to 375.2p and British Land Company dropped 19.5p to 596p as a number of companies went ex-dividend.
Away from the top tier, homewares retailer Dunelm was the biggest faller on the FTSE 250 after "unusually warm weather" took its toll on sales.
Like-for-like sales at stores plummeted 5.1% in the 13 weeks to October 1, dragging down revenue by 1.8% to £198.7 million.
Shares were down more than 4% or 34.5p to 823p.
The biggest risers on the FTSE 100 Index were Croda International up 53p to 3,611p, TUI up 15p to 1,129p, Carnival up 46p to 3,831p, Barclays up 1.8p to 174.3p.
The biggest fallers on the FTSE 100 Index were easyJet down 69.5p to 933.5p, IAG down 15.5p to 381.3p, Fresnillo down 61p to 1,614p, Capita down 23p to 632.5p.

Box Office: 'The Revenant' Braves Storm in 1st Place; 'Star Wars' Passes 'Jurassic World' Overseas
Despite the snowstorm hitting much of the East Coast, 20th Century Fox's "The Revenant" managed to nab the top spot at the weekend box office, Variety reports. The Alejandro Inarritu-directed pic earned $16 million this weekend from 3,711 locations, for a domestic total of $119 million.
"Star Wars: The Force Awakens" came in second place for its sixth weekend, domestically, bringing the stateside gross to $880 million — $14.3 million of which from this weekend — placing the film just behind "Avatar" as the second highest-grossing movie of all time in North America.
According to Deadline, "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has amassed $1.94 billion globally, passing "Jurassic World" — making it now the fourth highest-grossing movie of all time overseas, behind "Avatar," "The Titanic," and "Furious 7," respectively.
Rounding out the top five at the domestic box office, Universal's "Ride Along 2" finished in third with a $13 million intake, followed by Lionsgate's "Dirty Grandpa" with $11.5 million, and STX Entertainment's horror-thriller "The Boy" in fifth with $11.3 million.

Winifred Schnitzel—a brown-skinned girl with big kewpie-doll eyes and two fuzzy pigtails—has a monster problem. They visit her bedroom every night, and although Winifred thinks they are adorable (and in the Mary Blair meets Monsters, Inc. world of Robinson's artwork, it's easy to see why), but her sleep cycles are suffering. Winifred sets a variety of traps to deter the monsters, but she inadvertently discovers that a sleep-deprived kiss works better than sticky nets or spike-covered chairs. Fredrickson's rhymes bounce along at a rollicking pace ("Winifred knew that despite their uniqueness,/ she'd discovered that monsters have one silly weakness"), and there are plenty of giggles to be had in watching a sleepy Winifred send the monsters scattering as she tries to bestow gentle kisses on them. Ages 4–8. Illustrator's agency: Lindgren & Smith. (Sept.)

Risk Aversion as Attitude towards Probabilities: A Paradox
Theories of decision under risk that challenge expected utility theory model risk attitudes at least partly with transformation of probabilities. We explain how attributing risk aversion (partly or wholly) to attitude towards probabilities, can produce extreme probability distortions that imply paradoxical risk aversion.

If you know units of measurement, then you are aware of the unit Hertz. The scientist Heinrich Hertz was conducting experiments in the latter half of the 19th century to prove the point that radio waves were reflected by metallic objects. The phenomenon of electromagnetic waves and the work expounding on this had hinted at this possibility.
However, the early 20th century was the time frame during which equipment that used this technology widely. Christian Hullsmeyer, a German inventor was the one who was responsible for using this theory to build something that detected ships so that collisions in inclement weather could be avoided. The next two decades saw a prolific rise in devices that employed this technology.
It wasn't until World War II that there was a surge in the usage of this technology. Radar technology was especially relevant in military applications. In fact, the civil sector also saw a rise in the usage of radar technology. One of the applications for radar technology is the radar gun. A radar gun is a handheld device which is used to monitor the speeds of moving objects, especially motor vehicles.
The best Radar Detector
Law enforcement often uses radar guns to check on the speeds of errant drivers. If you are looking to install a radar detector in your vehicle the Escort Passport 9500ci Enhanced is a top pick. This police radar detector is the best this year because it is concealed and is an all-rounder!
This top-rated detector has everything you could possibly want or need and never thought you might need in a radar detector. It has laser jammers, remote mounted radar, false alarm Autolearn, and a lot more.
Even though this is an expensive radar detector, it is the best bet for you because you need not worry about being stopped because of a door opener remote signal!

It isn't going to be identical, but Access does provide a means of accessign the information. depends on whether you are using ADO or DAO.
for ADO most of the objects / collectiosn you wan tot retrieve are in the ADOX library extension. Youc an iterate through the varius collections to find the data that you require. I had a look a long while ago, but struggled to retrieve the data type - but that was a mapping issue (connverting from the visible represenataion to access internal storage values).
It can be done, its on my 'to do list' to improve the documentor function, however as I haven't won the lottery yet I just gotta keep working on fee paying work.

Is there no way to do this using SQL?
I have a utility that extracts meta data from databases. it works by executing hardcoded SQL for each database type. It currently works with SQL Server, firebird, interbase and oracle.
But now i can't find a simular method with access. I saw that access have system tables. like MSysObjects. So i can write something like:
SELECT name as tablename
FROM MSysObjects
WHERE type = 1
AND flags = 0
but i can't seem to find a way of finding field information.

Your best bet is to write straight DAO code.
Accessing MS Access' system tables is a losing proposition, IMO.

There's always something to blow you away at Bonhams' traditional end of year sale of Important Motor Cars and Fine Automobilia. And this year, it takes place on December 6 at a new venue -- Mercedes-Benz World in Surrey.
Among the standouts are a Mercedes-Benz 600, which lists Elvis Presley as its owner, and a 2000 Ferrari 550 GTZ. Already, the excellently-restored Mercedes-Benz 600 has received a pre-sale estimate of £150,000 – 200,000.
Presley, who had only registered a handful of cars in his name, owned this vehicle for two years before he gave it to his friend, James Leroy Robertson.
The vendor purchased this car from Robertson Motors Memphis, and exported it to the UK. Meanwhile, the Ferrari 550 GTZ is one of only five examples of the car bodied by Italian carrozeria Zagato.
It is also the lone Right Hand Drive example. At the Bonhams December sale, expect a large variety of motor cars spanning all periods, types and marques, as it is traditionally the largest sale, by value and volume.
Mercedes-Benz World, which is located within the banking of Britain's first ever purpose built racing circuit, the famous Brooklands Motor Course, near Weybridge, offers an exciting site for the sale.
Aside from the amazing setting, the venue features two refreshment areas – Cafe 1886 and the Gullwing restaurant. It's also a plus that the esteemed new Brooklands Hotel is just next door.
To get there, visitors may take a shuttle service linking Mercedes-Benz World and Weybridge railway station, as well as connections to London, the M25 and Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.

Pingback: My Homepage
Hello! I just attended the MRA Conference in Grand Rapids where you discussed your reading check-ins. I wondered if you had an example of how you conducted these? I have such long reading conferences, where I am not able to get to nearly enough students in a week, and really liked your idea of the shorter talks. Thanks!
Hello: I too just attended your Grand Rapids Rdg. Conf. U truly brought back the joy and fun of reading into my 5 rdg. classes. My principal asked me to present your main ideas so I am going to show your new book to my staff and am looking for the binder idea and other quick assessment ideas you shared with us at the conference. Can U please tell me where these are located on your website? Thanks for making my kids happy about choosing books they want to read for the first 10 min. of class again!

Choosing the right colour that accentuates the beauty of your skin tone is apparently a very difficult task. Most of us know that wearing those colours that do not fit in our box of comfort would definitely win us some style points , but finding hues that work with your complexion is often easier said than done-with such a wide range of shades on the plate, it's no mean feat sorting the wheat from the chaff.\n\nIf you want to save some time off your shopping rounds or buy more confidently online, then it's worth acquainting yourself with a few key rules when it comes to knowing the colours that are sure to complement you.

Traditional energy drinks conjure images of aluminum cans decorated with brightly colored labels, caffeine contents in large, bold numbers, and cheeky commercials. Nothing about this product screams environmental responsibility or cultural preservation. But in 2009, Tyler Gage and Dan MacCombie developed Runa, a company that believes creating an energy drink business in the Amazon can be more than just financially viable – it can be environmentally sustainable and supportive of local traditions and customs.
Since hitting the shelves of retailers in 2013, Runa's "clean energy" drinks have steadily grown in popularity, allowing the business to expand its impact on society and the environment. The company's identity is steeped in the leaves of the guayusa plant, a naturally occurring plant in the Amazon and one valued by local communities for its health benefits. Farmers in these communities are successfully harvesting guayusa leaves, thereby alleviating the financial incentive to participate in destructive activities such as logging. Additionally, the forest gardens in which the guayusa plant thrives create important corridor habitat for plant and animal movements.
The notion of sustainability as practice, that one can turn a profit in an environmentally and socially responsible way, is what attracted Runa's main investor – EcoEnterprises II, L.P. With financial backing from outside investors, like blue moon fund, EcoEnterprises invests in small businesses that seek to involve and engage local communities in Central and South America in a way that provides them with a dependable livelihood while also protecting endemic natural resources.
The COO of EcoEnterprises, Michele Pena, notes that "people living in and around fragile ecosystems, faced with a daily struggle to survive, not only lack the financial resources to dedicate to conservation or broader environmental issues, but also have no economic incentive to adopt alternate methods of development that would remedy environmental degradation or encourage the sustainable use of the natural resource asset base. EcoEnterprises Fund and our portfolio companies help create that incentive to shift from an unsustainable course of action by supporting economic activities that promote sustainable resource use, such as organic agriculture or ecotourism."
Traditionally, businesses similar to Runa are viewed as risky investments because long-term success is uncertain, and they often are not large enough to catch the attention of traditional investment firms. But where most investment companies see only risk and unprofitability, EcoEnterprises sees the future. Says Pena, "We have certainly seen consumer interest in sustainability catch up in areas where it was lagging…we definitely feel like the market will continue to head in this direction for the foreseeable future."
EcoEnterprises continues to promote change in the current investment model, and, with a market capitalization of USD 35 million, they are proving that sustainability as practice is profitable. Pena notes, "(Our) investments have generated impressive results – more than 4,400 jobs created and 150,000 local people benefited, more than $300 million in sales, and 7,000,000 hectares of land conserved."
As the fund moves into the future, Pena envisions that EcoEnterprises will continue to provide fuel for the engines driving economic and environmental change in Latin America.

Weller Magnastat TCP-1
I bought this in town today from the stall on the Friday Market that sells old tools. It looked in good nick, the bloke said it worked, and I need a decent soldering iron. As lots of good things have been said about these Weller Irons on here I bought it. Now comes the dumb question...
How do you vary the temperature? There isn't anything on the base unit (which I have looked inside - just a transformer) or the Iron itself that looks to me like a 'twiddly-thing' to adjust the temperature.
A bit of work on the cable to the Iron, dress the bit with a file, and a new mains lead and I will have a handy tool. £12 well spent I feel!
P.S. 'twiddly-thing' is an engineering term.

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
The bit sets the temprature - to change temp, you change the bit. If it is a proper magnastat bit, it will have a number stamped in the bottom (and be magnetic).
If not, the element will run flat out, and it will get very hot.....

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
To add to that; the number on the bit is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit divided by 100. I tend to use a number 8 (800 degrees F) in fine pointy conical style for most stuff but have a big chunky screwdriver no. 9 for soldering car battery terminals and bits of brass and steel. I've some random 5, 6 and 7 bits in a tin but these don't see much use. I think 7 is considered "normal" but my soldering style is fast and very well refined so I prefer an 8
How it works: It works by using the Curie Point of the metal. Above a certain temperature it decides not to be magnetic. It cools down a bit and becomes magnetic again. This operates a switch; the switch turns the element (24V 45W usually) on and off. Hence "Magnastat" - Magnetic Thermostat. Simple, not much to go wrong, in my opinion these irons rock - been using one since 1986

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
A file? No, No, No!
If the bit is worn, then you need a new one - attacking a tcp bit with a file is a bit like attacking a Bonneville with a chainsaw......

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
I'd agree with Sean there.
One of the good things about TCP bits compared to those of lesser irons is that the bits seem to last forever, just wipe on a damp sponge, tin and off you go. I have some TCP tips that must be at least 35 years old and have seen lots of use with no serious signs of deterioration.

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
Soldering iron bit for a TCP-1.
A bit of advice (yes, pun intended!) . . .
DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, file the end!
The "business" end of the tip is plated over the copper beneath. If you file away - or even make a small hole in the plating - the copper beneath will very quickly migrate into subsequent solder joints, leaving a cavity at the end of the bit. The bit is then useless.
The important thing with these bits is always keep them clean - hence the sponge pad. And don't use the iron for making holes in plastic by melting. This causes non-recoverable contamination of the plating, and any further soldering with it will be impossible.
By and large, they are quite good irons for lightweight soldering. The only occasional problem is a bit that either won't get warm (let alone hot) or a bit that gets far too hot. The usual cause of this trouble is a sticky thermostat switch inside the handle. This 'stat is available as a spare part.
BTW ~ Note: TCP-1 = lightweight soldering. If you find yourself needing to do medium to heavyweight stuff, you need a much more powerful iron. Personally, my favourite is the RF-powered "Metcal" - will solder almost any chunk of copper - snag is, though, they are very expensive!
Hope some of that helps.

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
OK then, I won't file it! Sounds like I have been cruel to my three-quid iron from Durham market in the past then.
It is fitted with a No. 7 bit. I will get the cable repaired and see if I can tin the bit.

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
Just a last thought Sam - it's worthwhile getting a number 8 and especially a number 9, for those odd occasions when you need a lot of heat. Err, well, within the limitations of a 45-watt iron, that is.

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
I have always used these irons at work and recently acquired one for use at home. The standard bit used at work is the PTAA7. I find it useful to have an armoury of other bits both large and small. For heavy work like soldering to chassis a No8 temperature bit comes into its own.

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
One point to watch with these irons is that the bits can seize into the tube on the iron element. Remove the bit regularly to stop this happening. Otherwise a very good industry standard workshop iron. Now you just need a Weller Pyropen gas iron for portable stuff (and to warm your hands on when working outdoors)

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
funny enough I bought one of these Weller transformers with a TCP1 iron at the last Harpendon, it works fine and the bit is good it just had the sponge pad missing, can anyone tell me where I can obtain spare bits and what the part numbers are, it looks like it came with a med bit, just had a look like Sams its a No 7 could do with one a little smaller for pc boards and one a bit larger good pun in there somewhere

Re: Weller Magnastat TCP-1
All the PTxxx series bits are in the RS catalogue. Or they were last time I looked which was some time ago.
The 2 letters after the PT define the shape and size. The number at the end is the operating temperature. 7 for 700F, 8 for 800F are the most useful.
I usually use a PTAA7 for PCBs and other fairly fine work.

Yep, death is inevitable but if you still believe you can evade the tax man, forget it. The ATO is hot on your heels.
As a general rule if you're an Australian resident and you earn income you must pay tax, irrespective of whether the income is earned in Australia or overseas.
The good news is you don't have to pay tax on every single cent of income you earn. There are offsets, rebates and deductions that can help you reduce your taxable income.
There are, however, rules about when you have to report your earnings to the tax man. If you've fallen behind with lodging your tax returns, if you're worried about ending up with a bill or you've actually already got a bill, what should you do?
"Each year over 12 million individuals lodge tax returns. Tax agents lodge 72% of individual returns and for the 2011 tax year, nearly 2.6 million individuals have lodged using E-tax to date," an ATO spokesperson says.
"For the balance of the returns we use a variety of tools to identify those who need to lodge, including data matching of information from sources such as employers and banks.
"Now more than ever the ATO is better able to find those who are not meeting their lodgement obligations.
"Our message is that it is better to come forward and lodge before we catch up with you."
- Behind with your returns?
If you don't lodge an activity statement, income tax return, fringe benefits tax return, PAYG withholding tax annual report or an annual GST return or report within the given timeframes you may be hit with a Failure To Lodge (FTL) penalty. Ouch!
You'll get a written or verbal warning before you're hit with an FTL and the ATO says it's reasonable and understands that there are always unexpected circumstances such as illness that make it impossible to meet deadlines.
If the taxman owes you money you won't get slugged with a FTL. If the shoe is on the other foot and you would owe tax, expect a bill. And it can be substantial. If you're considered to be a "small entity" you'll be charged $110 for each 28 days (or part thereof) that your lodgement is overdue. For medium entities (annual turnover $1m to $20m), the penalty is $220 per 28 days and large entities (turnover or taxable income >$20m) get slugged $550 per 28 days.
There's a maximum of five payment periods but that means ordinary individual tax payers who are 113 days late with lodgement could be penalised up to $550. Just not worth it.
So even if you think you'll end up with a tax bill, the best thing to do is to always lodge your documents with the ATO on time.
- Oh no, you've got a tax bill
OMG you've received a letter from the ATO and it says you owe thousands of dollars in tax. That's thousands of dollars you just don't have. What can you do?
The worst thing you can do in this situation is not act. Contact the ATO straight away or talk to your tax agent. There are many options available to assist you to pay a tax bill. If you ignore the bill you could end up paying steep penalty interest.
If your debt is less than $25,000 the ATO has an automated self-help service where you can apply to make late payments or pay your bill by instalments (ph 13 28 65).
For amounts greater than $25,000 or if you don't think the self-help service is what you need, speak with an ATO representative to discuss your repayment options. You may need to provide written information about your financial circumstances including an assets and liabilities statement.
If you are given extra time to pay your tax there's on final sting in the tail. You will usually have to pay what's called a General Interest Charge (GIC) which is updated quarterly and currently sits at 11.62% pa.

WITH just over four weeks to go, there has been a weariness creeping into the Yes campaign.
Hardly surprising since it's been going full-tilt now for nearly two years. I feel exhausted and I've just been writing about it. Lots of eager volunteers have been organising conferences, producing pamphlets, joining bus tours, staging festivals. But there is only so much energy out there.
And there has also been a sense of exasperated disappointment, not so much at Alex Salmond's performance in that first TV debate - though no-one thinks it was his best outing - but at the fact that it seemed to make such an impact. Is the currency the only issue in this referendum? Can it all be reduced to the pound in your pocket?
Loading article content
But the Yes campaign has to pick itself up and get back in the race - which is certainly not over. The opinion polls may appear unmoveable, but general election campaigns are only three weeks' long and a lot can happen in that time. The main problem for the Yes campaign is that, for all its energy and enthusiasm, most Scottish voters will make their decisions not on the basis of what they hear at Yestivals and Common Weal events, but through the conventional media. And here the Yes campaign receives a pasting.
Independence is portrayed, day by day, as an idea that may have some emotional appeal but is fraught with practical difficulties and unquantifiable risks. Take a look at last week's headlines: "SNP found out on oil, say Unionists"; "Carney warns of run on Scottish banks"; "Scotland stuck with Trident till 2028."
Yes, it was a typical week, dominated by negative forecasts of the impact of independence. None of them was factually incorrect, but the spin was relentlessly negative: the oil's running out; your money isn't safe if you vote Yes; Scotland's currency is toast; we're stuck with nuclear weapons on the Clyde come what may.
Well, the oil isn't running out - quite the reverse. I was in Shetland last week witnessing the new oil boom which is transforming the fortunes of the islands. There are accommodation barges clogging up Lerwick docks because there aren't enough hotel and B&B rooms to house all the workers coming in.
Yes, the short-term oil revenues are down but that is largely because the money is going into investment in the next generation.
There is, as Professor Donald MacKay put it rather colourfully last week, a "mountain of black gold" still under the North Sea. Oil & Gas UK, the industry body, puts it at between £1 trillion and £1.5trn. The idea that BP is going to opt out of this in spite at Scotland voting Yes is ludicrous.
But there isn't any secret oil discovery. There is a dash to extract more oil from the Clair field and from the newly exploited Bentley field. Indeed, some argue we should worry about the speed with which these hydrocarbons are being extracted. The Scottish Government is rather too keen on tax incentives to hasten extraction, in order to make Scotland look wealthier. This clashes with its professed concerns about carbon emissions.
So the oil is there but some economists continue to argue Scotland would be an economic basketcase even so. It was widely reported that the Bank of England Governor is making contingency plans to cope with "capital flight" after a Yes vote. Actually, since the biggest Scottish banks, Royal Bank of Scotland and Lloyds, are also England's biggest banks, many people would be taking their money out and putting it into the same bank.
Capital flight is a theoretical possibility. It happened between Slovakia and the Czech Republic after their "velvet divorce" in 1992. But this was largely because Slovakia was a relatively backward economy compared with the more industrialised Czechs. As the BoE's Mark Carney said in his speech in Scotland in January, Scotland and England are, in many ways, an optimal currency zone, provided Scots allowed a "ceding of sovereignty" on interest rates and borrowing.
The threat of bank runs is a by-product of the UK's threat to wreck the Scottish economy by denying it use of sterling. This is the "rough wooing" that lies behind the mawkish love-bombing by UK celebrities. The currency diktat is destructive and irresponsible. English firms exporting to Scotland will have to pay to change currency, as will people visiting their relatives. Firms seeking to invest in Scotland are forced to put plans on hold because of the talk of bank runs and currency blockades.
In fact, we learned last week that Carney has indeed been in "technical discussions" with the Scottish Government about currency options. It would be irresponsible for the Bank of England not to be. However, we were told the Scottish
Finance Secretary, John Swinney, had been rebuked by the BoE for blowing the gaff. The bank said it had only been answering "technical questions" and had not contemplated any currency union. The worst possible spin was put on this story, as if Swinney had been caught telling fibs.
As for Trident, we heard last week that it could be removed to Plymouth Devonport at relatively little cost. The Royal United Services Institution - a think-tank close to the Ministry of Defence - said it could cost £3.5 billion, not the £20bn floated by former UK Defence Secretary Philip Hammond. However, it raised the question of whether Plymouth residents would accept the risk of "accidental ignition" - a risk Glasgow has lived with for 60 years. My suspicion is that Plymouth would not be so sanguine and this weapon of mass destruction would be quietly laid to rest.
The press didn't seem quite sure whether this was a good story or a bad one - rather like the immigration statistics, which showed a dramatic increase in immigration from England, but also suggested Scotland might need another 14,000 immigrants in future to meet the Scottish Government's economic targets. Right-wing papers such as the Daily Telegraph presented this influx as a threat; others hardly reported it. In fact, the Scottish population is higher than it has ever been, confounding forecasts from seven years ago of terminal decline. The threat, if anything, is UK immigration policy, and Labour's threat to set up border posts at Gretna to stop immigrants coming through Scotland to England.
Perhaps the Yes campaign has to get off the narrow economic arguments and make a moral case for independence. That it isn't about Scotland swimming in oil, but about it being one that makes a moral stand against weapons of mass destruction and for free movement and open borders. It's unusual for nationalist movements to be keen on disarmament, immigration, ethnic diversity and gay rights. They should make the most of it. There is, in the end, no answer to the currency question because the UK has refused to negotiate. So let the media obsess about the pound … and accentuate the positive.
Iain Macwhirter will chair the Sunday Herald/Bloody Scotland debate on Scotland's post-referendum future in Stirling on Saturday, September 20.

Hungry Castle, the Barcelona-based art collective, has been making big, bold, colourful moves all over the world with their pop culture inspired sculptures. Music, fashion, memes, and art come together perfectly in their projects, but what we love most about their work is that it's all done with tongue firmly planted in cheek. Now this loud, brash, and above all fun collective has opened a studio in Dubai, with plans to shake up the Middle East (in a good way). We spoke with Simon Coates, who is heading up Hungry Castle's Middle East office, to find out more about how Hungry Castle will approach work in the Emirates, and whether the conservative culture will stand in the way of the UAE's (and particularly Dubai's) proclivity for exciting art and large-scale work.
Do you think the art world is hijacking the corporate?
I wish. I think it's very much the other way around, now more than ever. There is a tiny percentage of artist collectives or artists worldwide than can afford to sustain their own survival without some kind of sponsorship. They're lucky. It's largely corporations that are stumping up the cash for getting things done and it's now part of an artist's job to understand and work with this.
Would you say the internet is your biggest inspiration (as a collective)?
Totes. It's all there for the taking. In fact the new range of Hungry Castle merchandise is inspired by the kind of old school vibe of the internet. There's so much to draw on and the kind of stuff that becomes well-known online is famous because it's shared by real people amongst their friends. Remember the Dancing Hamster? Lolcats? Last year it was the Doge. It's self-generating inspiration.
Are trends important to your work?
Following trends? No. Working with trends? Yes, very much so. If the internet is continually offering up such a rich seam of ideas then it we're all laughing.
Do you agree with the statement "Every trivial thing can be art"? Why or why not?
Speaking for myself, yes, I do. Day one on any decent art course will feature a few minutes on Duchamp and ready-mades. It's standard. However, the crucial distinction and qualitative factor is the credibility of the artist who the make claim that anything can be art without presenting a substantial, informed body of work.
Do you welcome conversations about what constitutes art? How do you respond to those that question the art that Hungry Castle creates?
Great question and very much fundamental to the Hungry Castle ethos. Hungry Castle artwork is made with debate in mind. Killian speaks really well on Hungry Castle's artworks' ability to polarize. The artwork is interactive and is at its best when people are engaging with it, and that kind of engagement breeds dialogue. How can a giant model of Lionel Richie's head be art? Well, we say it is and we're really happy to talk to you about why we say so. We're also really happy to listen to what you have to say.
What do you anticipate for the future of contemporary art?
From my own point of view I think contemporary art is entering into a period of new conservatism. For economic, political and social reasons audiences are drawing in their horns and this is reflected in which artists succeed and fail. Ai Weiwei wouldn't have been able to visit his own show in the UK without the intervention of the government's home ministry, based on his perceived misdemeanours in China. Physical travel between certain countries is becoming more difficult, making it more difficult for ideas to follow. Politically important and radical-thinking artists will get overlooked.
The Middle East is generally more conservative than the western world when it comes to creativity, advertising, art, and so forth – however, in the UAE at least, minds are opening up more and more, especially when it comes to art. Do you think a conservative environment can still encourage art and creativity?
I'm speaking in my own right as an artist here: when discussing conservatism it should be noted that the mainstream art business worldwide is incredibly conservative and has been for a while. There are glass ceilings, structures, hierarchies and cliques at work in the mainstream art scene of every country. I've been in Dubai since the beginning of 2011 and I genuinely have seen the UAE opening up. An artist is always going to crave total creative freedom but that means different things across the globe.
Are you going to tip toe around cultural sensitivities, ignore them, or face them head on?
I don't think it would be a good idea to ignore cultural sensitivities. That would be crazy. Any mission that we're on remains the same wherever we are in the world, and that's to make public art and fashion for planet earth. We're global, baby.
How has the reception been to Hungry Castle so far, and how do you think it will be as time goes on?
I'm not just saying this but people love Hungry Castle. Even if they don't get the background or the inspiration at first, people generally react with absolute delight. As time goes on I can't see this changing, we just need to try and reach more people.
What are your main reasons for opening a studio in Dubai? What sort of projects are you hoping to work on as Hungry Castle?
Dubai is the new base from where we'll cover the rest of the Middle East region, as well as India, North-East Africa and South East Asia. So we're looking forward to bring the artwork to the UAE for sure but we're also talking to other organisations elsewhere. In terms of what we're hoping to work on, we'll bring all the big guns plus the fashion range. Everything.
Do you think issues with censorship will affect your work? (For example, the words "Cool Shit" probably wouldn't even be allowed to be printed in some places, or discussed openly in a public forum, etc)
Yep, and this goes back to respecting cultural sensitivities. We're not here to upset any of the existing apple carts: we're bringing one of our own. It just happens that our apple cart is cool and groovy, and shoots lasers and stuff. In terms of the name of the fashion label, we're talking about this. Maybe we'll come up with a collectible range that's exclusive to the UAE.
What is your approach to dealing with strict government rules and regulations? Do you anticipate any issues arising there?
I can't see any issues arising, although it's part of my job to navigate all local eventualities and I'm totally up for that. And this applies across the board. So, in India for example, there are things we'll need to bear in mind. Same in Vietnam, Thailand and so on.
How do you hope to add to and improve the creative scene in the UAE? Are you interested in taking part in the UAE's art events?
It might take more than the arrival of Hungry Castle to improve the UAE creative scene, I fear. That said we're really up for making a difference. The fact that we don't acknowledge boundaries and define our audience as 'everyone' might open eyes a bit. I hope so. I've already started speaking to a few people out here about what we'll do and it's apparent that there are events that simply aren't structured to take on our sort of work. The other side of that is that we're happy to take part in other types of events that aren't necessarily all about art. Laser Cat took part in a block party in Brooklyn last November, appeared alongside the Thievery Corporation in Washington in February and was part of Les Folies festival in France in June. Our new piece, 'Nicolas Cage In A Cage', debuted at the Splendour In the Grass festival in Australia in July. We'll go where the party is. And if there isn't a party, we'll start our own.
What (if anything) do you think should change or be improved in the UAE's creative scene, corporate culture, etc?
Arts education and a creative economy based on support. The arts education system here is under constant scrutiny and there must be good reason for that. It's a shame that a lot of the gifted artists have to go abroad to study. Also, providing broad support for creatives from all backgrounds in order for them to develop a creative economy that grows naturally would be good.
Do you think companies are looking towards the Middle East as the most lucrative frontier at the moment? Do you think it is a trend to open up studios and companies there, and if so, why do you think that is?
If you had asked that question a couple of years ago I would have said yes, the Middle East is seen as a lucrative frontier. However things have changed drastically in terms of the political landscape and that's had an effect. From a local point of view I can only think of the creation of a couple of new creative hubs, so I don't think there's a trend there. For me, you can build as many studios as you like but, unless there's an organic, natural groundswell of creativity, these spaces will always be occupied by those who can afford them, rather than those who might deserve them.
How do you think people will react to Hungry Castle's work in the Middle East, especially in comparison to the reactions to Hungry Castle's work in Europe and the rest of the world?
At first I thought most people would be baffled, and that was part of the challenge. There are still going to be a bunch of people that don't get it – and that will continue, I'm sure – but a lot of people seem to simply fall in love with the artwork. I think this is because we just don't have this sort of thing out here and people are delighted at the prospect of Hungry Castle setting up camp in the UAE.
Is your main target the expat community in Dubai? Who else is a target audience for Hungry Castle? Are the references in your work understandable to any/everyone or do you think some stuff will just go over peoples' heads? How do you plan on dealing with issues like that?
We honestly don't have a target audience. I'm trying hard not to invoke the cliché of our stuff being for everyone from aged five to a hundred and five. We are anti-clique, anti-social boundaries and our arms are open wide. As far as references go, I don't think it matters if there are those that don't get it. To be honest when I first saw Laser Cat eighteen months ago I had no idea it had anything to do with internet memes, I just thought it was really ace. And when Dave and Killian told me about Nicolas Cage In A Cage earlier this year it just seemed hilarious and ludicrous, I didn't really think about the inspiration behind it. What's at the heart of the matter is that Hungry Castle stuff works on different levels. If you get it, then great. But if you don't then that's great too. This artwork isn't about in-jokes, it's about inclusivity.
What aspect of bringing Hungry Castle to and working in the UAE excites you guys most?
One thing about the UAE is that the people and the visitors here like to have a good time. And so do we, so it's a win-win situation. So, as well as being a cool place to do our thing, we're also ideally situated to leap off into other parts of the world.
How much of your work is based around shock and awe? Big and bold, creative, colourful – these things excite people, but is there substance or a message behind the work, and if so, what is it?
I mentioned the polarizing effect and that's something that's central to what happens with the Hungry Castle artwork. People form opinions very quickly and we encourage them to participate by giving these opinions a voice. There's a gnomic side to the art made by the likes of Martin Creed and that's a participatory side to art made by the likes of Jeremy Deller. I'm not speaking for the others here but I see Hungry Castle sitting somewhere between the two schools. On the one hand, 'Lionel Richie's Head' is monolithic and unknowable. Confusing, even. On the other it's participatory because audiences need to interact with it for it to fully function. Martin Creed's 'Lights Going On and Off' inspired debate, as did Deller's 'Sacrilege' which as a bouncy castle based on Stonehenge. So Hungry Castle contributes to the '…but is it art' debate in a way that isn't as immediate as it seems.
Do you anticipate push back from clients who are afraid to go too big and too bold? Are you concerned with getting clients at all? And if so, how would you handle the notorious clients of the UAE who tend to drive creatives mad by withholding creative control, demanding constant changes, etc?
It's early days but, from the outset, I'm being quite selective about who we work with. I don't want us to get drawn into those kinds of situations. After all, if we're bringing in works that are already made so there's not much we can change. I have met like-minded people during my time in Dubai – people who just get things like this in their entirety – and it's these sorts that I'm really keen to work with.
Are you interested in staying in Dubai for the long haul or are you trying things out and seeing where they go? Is there a game plan for a long-term future in the UAE and the Middle East?
Who knows what the future will bring? Dubai is a good springboard for us geographically and part of what I do is to start conversations with people in the region. I've got a wishlist of events and organisations and am slowly building conversations. I'm not going to pretend that it's easy and straightforward. It isn't. But how are we going to know what we can achieve unless we try?
Are there any other places in the Middle East you are interested in working in?
I'd love to do something in Beirut and have been speaking to a few people there. I don't think we're going to be able to get anything in the diary for this year now but 2016 should be good. There are people in Qatar that love what we do so that could be interesting.
Do you think politics and religion will affect your work in the Middle East? Or play some sort of role in your creative process?
Politics and religion won't affect our work for the very simple reason that the work is apolitical and non-religious. I don't say this lightly because I know that any contentious content would have potential repercussions, but the work is so approachable and amenable that it just exists in its own right.
What sort of challenges do you expect you'll face in the Middle East that you haven't faced before? And vice versa – do you expect some things to be easier?
In general I think the rest of the world sees somewhere like Dubai – or the UAE in general – as an unending fountain of money from which we all drink copiously and without interruption. However, in my own experience as an artist, it can be the opposite. Especially if you're proposing a creative or artistic project. So our key challenge is getting the right kind of sponsors and champions. In terms of things that are easier, without a shadow of a doubt Dubai is brilliant for getting things. So if we need scaffolding, spotlights, weird shapes cut out of wood…You name it, there will be somewhere in Dubai that will do it, no problem, and will help us to get the finished results to wherever they need to be . That's both very cool and very useful.
Do you plan on working with local suppliers, manufacturers, etc?
Absolutely. In fact we rely on them. All the Hungry Castle artwork is transported as a kind of flatpack and we have to source local providers to help us get the work up and running. I don't think it would make economic sense to work otherwise. We're not all about the entourage and the huge production teams. Not yet, anyway.
Do you plan on targeting segments of society who are usually ignored? In other words, do you plan on creating work anyone can enjoy – from labourers to the obscenely rich?
I don't think that targeting anyone really fits in with our way of doing things. That's not meant to be an evasive answer, it's just that saying 'Ok, let's just target so-and-so' reflects a value judgement that favours one above the other. Also, from my own point of view, targeting – for example – labourers, has to be done with the right intentions and has to be sustainable. Simply rocking up with a giant model of Nicolas Cage's head might not solve a lot.
Who do you hope to excite or inspire in the UAE?
One of the reasons I worked at the Dubai Community Theatre and Arts Centre (DUCTAC) was because I wanted to somehow help people here who want to become artists, and that feeling hasn't gone away. Hungry Castle artwork is the epitome of what can happen when you let your imagination run wild, and I want people to know that imaginations are there to get unlocked. Also, seeing Hungry Castle artwork online or in magazines is very different to seeing it in real life. It's even cooler and more exciting when you're interacting with it all.
Do you have any projects coming up that you can discuss with us?
We only opened the new Dubai office in May of this year so it's still early days. As I mentioned, we're already talking to a number of people about some very interesting projects, so keep them peeled…

A big thank you to Kassa for extending an invite to join the Author Fan Letter Blog Crawl again this year. It's been inspiring for someone who has been a faltering blogger to follow along and read all the well crafted letters to authors whose work has become special to each of us for a variety of reasons. This year's Blog Crawl is significant for me not only because it allows me to express my admiration and love of the work penned by an author I respect, it's also jump started my enthusiasm for blogging again. I have to admit to feeling a little intimidated after reading all the exceptional letters published thus far but here goes!
Dear Larissa:
In 2008, when I first ventured into the realm of online discussion about books I chatted with a fellow romance reader through the Amazon.com loop. We shared a commonality in that we both enjoyed paranormal romance and she led me to a book called Pleasure Unbound. I read Eidolon and Tayla's story non-stop and have to admit to being gobsmacked. We all have sub genres in romance that resonate more to our individual reading tastes than others. One of mine is dark erotic paranormal romance that doesn't spare the graphic gritty details in a fast paced, action packed narrative. You not only set bar in the genre for me, but have maintained and surpassed it with each novel as you continue to develop and expand your Demonica world. The passionate and conflicted romances that you plot for heroes and heroines who have often lead long, tortured lives always leave me breathless. Many readers talk about a series that is their crack when discussing connected stories penned by favorite authors. My crack is the Demonica novels penned by Larissa Ione. Each time I finish one of your novels I'm left panting for the next story, we now have the Lords of Deliverance, and I can't wait to see where you take the horsemen next!
You have always made a point of engaging your readers who post reviews and share comments about your work online. After reading Pleasure Unbound and "chatting" with you at the Amazon forum I found your website and linked with a Yahoo Readers Group you frequent. It was through this venue that I discovered blogging and created closetreader. Blogging has been an enriching experience that allowed me to connect with some amazing and intelligent people from all over the world. So you see Larissa, your novels have not only enriched my reading life you were instrumental in introducing me to a worldwide community of people who share a passion for romance novels, no matter what the genre. Further, through you I learned of the work of authors Jaci Burton, Beth Kery, Stephanie Tyler, Lara Adrian and most recently Virna De Paul. Their books all share special places on my keeper shelf.
Lastly, thank you for your friendship over the past 3 years and I am so looking forward to meeting you in New York next week! I am and will remain your devoted fan. 😉
Warmest Regards

After our success in the Incident hike, with two teams going through, we turned up fully prepared and excited to the Shipston-on-Stour scout hut for the County Bear trek. This was a hike through the countryside around Shipston-on-Stour with six check points, four of which had activities which you earned points from.
We were driven to our first checkpoint, where we were to show how to resuscitate an unconscious person we had found by the side of road. This was ok as two of us already had the emergency aider badge and the others had practiced the method too.
We then set off back to the scout hut where we found the other team from 2nd Warwick. The task here was to move a barrel into a dustbin using three ropes but without touching the ground within about a 2m radius with anything. We succeeded with only a minute to spare!
On the next stretch we got a little lost but with some help from the other team, found the farm. It turned out that putting a sling on to the leader here was no mean feat, with lots of speculation and re-tying. In the end we managed it, just, but couldn?t remember how to make the triangular bandage into a wide bandage.
The next checkpoint was only a safety checkpoint, with no activity, so we carried on to Todenham. On the way, we spotted the other team some way behind us! After a brief stop for the whole team to climb into the phone box, we found the checkpoint where we had to disarm a rocket.
From here we walked to Mitford Bridge (getting the rugby score on the way and overtaking a Stratford team) where the task was to light a fire and boil a cup of water on it using a flint. Difficult as none of us had ever used a flint before!
However, we managed it and set off to our last but one checkpoint, on a road past Burmington. On arrival, the leader here radioed in to make sure we could carry on, and with only twenty minutes left we walked away to our last checkpoint over a lot of fields.
We finished the route at 3:10pm, now exhausted having walked just over ten miles. We shared jaffa cakes and waited for the last team to finish. We were driven back to the scout hut were we ate and drank and again, waited for a lost team to come in.
The room was filled with tension as the results were announced, particularly as the top three teams were separated by only three points. But we cheered and clapped when we heard we had won and went to collect the trophy and certificates.
We left tired, full and very, very happy!

Photoshop 5 compatibility
Photoshop 5, which I have used on XP and Vista, will not install under Windows 7 Home.
However, I have found that if I drag it over from the Vista hard drive to the new computer's Program Files (x86), I can launch it after selecting Vista emulation from the exe file.
This is not a permanent fix, though. I have to go through the same procedure of selecting Vista emulation each time I want to use the program.
Is there a means of launching the program in a simpler fashion?

Welcome to Seven Forums peaksoft. I assume you have the 32 bit version. Have you tried installing it using compatibility mode?

Also look at the fix from JTP450 (last post) in this thread:

Thanks for that.
No, I have the 64 bit version, and I have previously read the Microsoft guidance that you reference.
It won't install from CD in any mode.
As I mentioned, it will function in Vista compatibility mode if I drag the program folder from the old drive, then run the exe file in Vista mode.
My problem is that I have to keep going laboriously through the same procedure each time, ie, selecting the exe file and then specifying Vista mode.
What I would much prefer to do, naturally, is simply to run the program without all the messing about.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I think Photoshop 5 uses a 16-bit installer program.
16-bit installers are generally incompatible with 64-bit Windows.
Barring some type of heroic measure, I think you have to either upgrade to a later version of Photoshop or change to 32-bit Windows 7---which has no problems with 16-bit installers.
I used to have Photoshop 4 and ran into the same problem.
If your Google-fu is up to snuff, you can probably locate software that supposedly (I say SUPPOSEDLY) will allow you to work around the problem. I examined it and decided it was too complex and instead moved to Photoshop CS 3. I have no idea if that software actually works well.

Point taken.
I actually have CS6 installed and working fine, but from a user point of view, I feel it's one of those programs that has simply reached the point of development at which it's gone over the top. It's no longer an intuitive, functional tool, but an over-complex curiosity, whereas I found Photoshop 5 to be ideal for my needs.
The frustrating point about this is that Photoshop 5 is there. It works. I can use it. But I have to go through such a pointless rigmarole to access it.

My son took me to a Warehouse kind of store today just to show me all the live sea food and meats. The Maine Lobster was maybe 2 to 5 lbs in size. The claw feet on these big guys were as big as some of the claws on the live crabs in the other tanks. The Blue crabs were impressive also. I was thinking of maybe grilling some lobster this weekend but.... is this a deal?
We also noticed ox tails about 12" to 15" long for just under $5 lb. ???
