Clarke's Third Law:. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
Occult sciences. Those imaginary sciences of the middle ages which related to the influence of supernatural powers, such as alchemy, magic, necromancy, and astrology.
A layman will no doubt find it hard to understand how pathological disorders of the body and mind can be eliminated by 'mere' words. He will feel that he is being asked to believe in magic. And he will not be so very wrong, for the words which we use in our everyday speech are nothing other than watered-down magic. But we shall have to follow a roundabout path in order to explain how science sets about restoring to words a part at least of their former magical power.
Alas! That partial Science should approve
The sly rectangles too licentious love!
From three bright Nymphs the wily wizard burns;-
Three bright-eyd Nymphs requite his flame by turns.
Strange force of magic skill! Combined of yore.

Alchemy. The link between the immemorial magic arts and modern science. Humankinds first systematic effort to unlock the secrets of matter by reproducible experiment.
All scientific men were formerly accused of practicing magic. And no wonder, for each said to himself: I have carried human intelligence as far as it will go, and yet So-and-so has gone further than I. Ergo, he has taken to sorcery.
Tous les savants étoient autrefois accusés de magie. Je nen suis point étonné. Chacun disoit en lui-même: Jai porté les talents naturels aussi loin quils peuvent aller; cependant un certain savant a des avantages sur moi: il faut bien quil y ait là quelque diablerie.

Almost every major systematic error which has deluded men for thousands of years relied on practical experience. Horoscopes, incantations, oracles, magic, witchcraft, the cures of witch doctors and of medical practitioners before the advent of modern medicine, were all firmly established through the centuries in the eyes of the public by their supposed practical successes. The scientific method was devised precisely for the purpose of elucidating the nature of things under more carefully controlled conditions and by more rigorous criteria than are present in the situations created by practical problems.
An inventive age
Has wrought, if not with speed of magic, yet
To most strange issues. I have lived to mark
A new and unforeseen creation rise
From out the labours of a peaceful Land:
Wielding her potent enginery to frame
And to produce, with appetite as keen
As that of war, which rests not night or day.

Art arises in those strange complexities of action that are called human beings. It is a kind of human behavior. As such it is not magic, except as human beings are magical. Nor is it concerned in absolutes, eternities, forms, beyond those that may reside in the context of the human being and be subject to his vicissitudes. Art is not an inner state of consciousness, whatever that may mean. Neither is it essentially a supreme form of communication. Art is human behavior, and its values are contained in human behavior.
As a scientist, I am not sure anymore that life can be reduced to a class struggle, to dialectical materialism, or any set of formulas. Life is spontaneous and it is unpredictable, it is magical. I think that we have struggled so hard with the tangible that we have forgotten the intangible.
Coastal sailing as long as it is perfectly safe and easy commands no magic. Overseas expeditions are invariably bound up with ceremonies and ritual. Man resorts to magic only where chance and circumstances are not fully controlled by knowledge.
Courage and perseverance have a magical talisman, before which difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish into air.
Everything around us is filled with mystery and magic. I find this no cause for despair, no reason to turn for solace to esoteric formulae or chariots of gods. On the contrary, our inability to find easy answers fills me with a fierce pride in our ambivalent biology ... with a constant sense of wonder and delight that we should be part of anything so profound.
Formerly, when religion was strong and science weak, men mistook magic for medicine; now, when science is strong and religion weak, men mistake medicine for magic.
I confess that Magic teacheth many superfluous things, and curious prodigies for ostentation; leave them as empty things, yet be not ignorant of their causes. But those things which are for the profit of menfor the turning away of evil events, for the destroying of sorceries, for the curing of diseases, for the exterminating of phantasms, for the preserving of life, honor, or fortunemay be done without offense to God or injury to religion, because they are, as profitable, so necessary.
I have often admired the mystical way of Pythagoras, and the secret magick of numbers.
I never got tired of watching the radar echo from an aircraft as it first appeared as a tiny blip in the noise on the cathode-ray tube, and then grew slowly into a big deflection as the aircraft came nearer. This strange new power to see things at great distances, through clouds or darkness, was a magical extension of our senses. It gave me the same thrill that I felt in the early days of radio when I first heard a voice coming out of a horn...
If there is magic on this planet, it is contained in Water.
Is there perhaps some magical power in the subject [mathematics] that, although it had fought under the invincible banner of truth, has actually achieved its victories through some inner mysterious strength?
It is requisite that we should here say something of Magick, which is so linked to Astrology, as being her near Kinswoman, that whoever professes Magick without Astrology, does nothing, but is altogether out of the way.
It is the business of scientists to explain away the magic in the world. The largest coherent body of magic remaining is the behavior of (humans) and animals.
Just as knowing how a magic trick is done spoils its wonder, so let us be grateful that wherever science and reason turn they finally plunge into darkness.
Kids like their fossils. Ive taken my godson fossil-hunting and theres nothing more magical than finding a shiny shell and knowing youre the first person to have seen it for 150 million years.
Magic and all that is ascribed to it is a deep presentiment of the powers of science. The shoes of swiftness, the sword of sharpness, the power of subduing the elements, of using the secret virtues of minerals, of understanding the voices of birds, are the obscure efforts of the mind in a right direction.
Magic is a faculty of wonderful virtue, full of most high mysteries, containing the most profound contemplation of most secret things, together with the nature, power, quality, substance and virtues thereof, as also the knowledge of whole Nature, and it doth instruct us concerning the differing and agreement of things amongst themselves, whence it produceth its wonderful effects, by uniting the virtues of things through the application of them one to the other.
Magic is antiphysics, so it can't really exist. But is shares one thing with science. I can explain the principle behind a good science experiment in 15 seconds; the same way with magic.
Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir mens blood and probably themselves will not be realized. Make big plans; aim high in hope and work. Let your watchword be order and your beacon beauty,
Man masters nature not by force but by understanding. That is why science has succeeded where magic failed: because it has looked for no spell to cast on nature.
Natural Magick is taken to be nothing else, but the chief power of all the natural Sciences; which therefore they call the top and perfection of Natural Philosophy, and which is indeed the active part of the same; which by the assistance of natural forces and faculties, through their mutual & opportune application, performs those things that are above Humane Reason.
Natural Magick therefore is that, which considering well the strength and force of Natural and Celestial beings, and with great curiosity labouring to discover their affections, produces into open Act the hidden and concealed powers of Nature.
Oh! That the Chemist's magic art
Could crystallize this sacred treasure!...
That very law which moulds a tear,
And bids it trickle from its source;
That law preserves the earth a sphere,
And guides the planets in their course.

Oh, my dear Kepler, how I wish that we could have one hearty laugh together. Here, at Padua, is the principal professor of philosophy, whom I have repeatedly and urgently requested to look at the moon and planets through my glass, [telescope] which he pertinaciously refuses to do. Why are you not here? what shouts of laughter we should have at this glorious folly! and to hear the professor of philosophy at Pisa laboring before the grand duke with logical arguments, as if with magical incantations, to charm the new planets out of the sky.
One mans magic is another mans engineering. Supernatural is a null word.
One of the memorable moments of my life was when Willard Libby came to Princeton with a little jar full of crystals of barium xenate. A stable compound, looking like common salt, but much heavier. This was the magic of chemistry, to see xenon trapped into a crystal.
Phony psychics like Uri Geller have had particular success in bamboozling scientists with ordinary stage magic, because only scientists are arrogant enough to think that they always observe with rigorous and objective scrutiny, and therefore could never be so fooledwhile ordinary mortals know perfectly well that good performers can always find a way to trick people.
Scarcely anyone who comprehends this theory can escape its magic.
Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness.
Referring to Freudian theories.
Referring to Freudian theories.
Science is best defined as a careful, disciplined, logical search for knowledge about any and all aspects of the universe, obtained by examination of the best available evidence and always subject to correction and improvement upon discovery of better evidence. What's left is magic. And it doesn't work.
Science is the organised attempt of mankind to discover how things work as causal systems. The scientific attitude of mind is an interest in such questions. It can be contrasted with other attitudes, which have different interests; for instance the magical, which attempts to make things work not as material systems but as immaterial forces which can be controlled by spells; or the religious, which is interested in the world as revealing the nature of God.
Somewhere in the arrangement of this world there seems to be a great concern about giving us delight, which shows that, in the universe, over and above the meaning of matter and forces, there is a message conveyed through the magic touch of personality. ...
Is it merely because the rose is round and pink that it gives me more satisfaction than the gold which could buy me the necessities of life, or any number of slaves. ... Somehow we feel that through a rose the language of love reached our hearts.

The helicopter approaches closer than any other [transport] to fulfillment of mankinds ancient dream of the flying horse and the magic carpet.
The Question is what is The Question?
Is it all a Magic Show?
Is Reality an Illusion?
What is the framework of The Machine?

Where does Space-Time come from?
Is there any answer except that it comes from consciousness?
What is Out There?
Tis Ourselves?
Or, is IT all just a Magic Show?

The real name for 'science' is magic.
The sublime discoveries of Newton, and, together with these, his not less fruitful than wonderful application, of the higher mathesis to the movement of the celestial bodies, and to the laws of light, gave almost religious sanction to the corpuscular system and mechanical theory. It became synonymous with philosophy itself. It was the sole portal at which truth was permitted to enter. The human body was treated an hydraulic machine... In short, from the time of Kepler to that of Newton, and from Newton to Hartley, not only all things in external nature, but the subtlest mysteries of life, organization, and even of the intellect and moral being, were conjured within the magic circle of mathematical formulae.
The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
There are still psychologists who, in a basic misunderstanding, think that gestalt theory tends to underestimate the role of past experience. Gestalt theory tries to differentiate between and-summative aggregates, on the one hand, and gestalten, structures, on the other, both in sub-wholes and in the total field, and to develop appropriate scientific tools for investigating the latter. It opposes the dogmatic application to all cases of what is adequate only for piecemeal aggregates. The question is whether an approach in piecemeal terms, through blind connections, is or is not adequate to interpret actual thought processes and the role of the past experience as well. Past experience has to be considered thoroughly, but it is ambiguous in itself; so long as it is taken in piecemeal, blind terms it is not the magic key to solve all problems.
There are three schools of magic. One: State a tautology, then ring the changes on its corollaries; that's philosophy. Two: Record many facts. Try to find a pattern. Then make a wrong guess at the next fact; that's science. Three: Be aware that you live in a malevolent Universe controlled by Murphy's Law, sometimes offset by Brewster's Factor; that's engineering.
There is a strange disparity between the sciences of inert matter and those of life. Astronomy, mechanics, and physics are based on concepts which can be expressed, tersely and elegantly, in mathematical language. They have built up a universe as harmonious as the monuments of ancient Greece. They weave about it a magnificent texture of calculations and hypotheses. They search for reality beyond the realm of common thought up to unutterable abstractions consisting only of equations of symbols. Such is not the position of biological sciences. Those who investigate the phenomena of life are as if lost in an inextricable jungle, in the midst of a magic forest, whose countless trees unceasingly change their place and their shape. They are crushed under a mass of facts, which they can describe but are incapable of defining in algebraic equations.
This world, after all our science and sciences, is still a miracle; wonderful, inscrutable, magical and more, to whosoever will think of it.
Through the magic of motion pictures, someone whos never left Peoria knows the softness of a Paris spring, the color of a Nile sunset, the sorts of vegetation one will find along the upper Amazon and that Big Ben has not yet gone digital.
Thus you may multiply each stone 4 times & no more for they will then become oyles shining in ye dark and fit for magicall uses. You may ferment them with ☉ [gold] and [silver], by keeping the stone and metal in fusion together for a day, & then project upon metalls. This is the multiplication of ye stone in vertue. To multiply it in weight ad to it of ye first Gold whether philosophic or vulgar.
To this I may add another form of temptation, manifold in its dangers There exists in the soul a cupidity which does not take delight in the carnal pleasure but in perceptions acquired through the flesh. It is a vain inquisitiveness dignified with the title of knowledge and science. As this is rooted in the appetite for knowing, and as among the senses the eyes play a leading role in acquiring knowledge, the divine word calls it the lust of the eyes (I John, 2: 16) To satisfy this diseased craving people study the operations of nature, which lie beyond our grasp when there is no advantage in knowing and the investigators simply desire knowledge for its own sake. This motive is again at work if, using a perverted science for the same end, people try to achieve things by magical arts.
True majorities, in a TV-dominated and anti-intellectual age, may need sound bites and flashing lightsand I am not against supplying such lures if they draw children into even a transient concern with science. But every classroom has one [Oliver] Sacks, one [Eric] Korn, or one [Jonathan] Miller, usually a lonely child with a passionate curiosity about nature, and a zeal that overcomes pressures for conformity. Do not the one in fifty deserve their institutions as wellmagic places, like cabinet museums, that can spark the rare flames of genius?
Unfortunately, the study of organic remains is beset with two evils, which, though of an opposite character, do not neutralize each other so much as at first sight might be anticipated: the one consisting of a strong desire to find similar organic remains in supposed equivalent deposits, even at great distances; the other being an equally strong inclination to discover new species, often as it would seem for the sole purpose of appending the apparently magical word nobis.
We are dabbling in what will always be considered the blackest of black magic. The day will come when people will want to string us up from the nearest lamppost.
His first remark at the first meeting of the Reactor Safety Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission (1947).
His first remark at the first meeting of the Reactor Safety Committee of the Atomic Energy Commission (1947).
We called the new [fourth] quark the "charmed quark" because we were pleased, and fascinated by the symmetry it brought to the subnuclear world. "Charm" also means a "a magical device to avert evil," and in 1970 it was realized that the old three quark theory ran into very serious problems. ... As if by magic the existence of the charmed quark would [solve those problems].
We nuclear people have made a Faustian bargain with society. On the one hand, we offer an inexhaustible source of energy But the price that we demand of society for this magical energy source is both a vigilance and a longevity of our social institutions that we are quite unaccustomed to.
What about the magical number seven? What about the seven wonders of the world, the seven seas, the seven deadly sins, the seven daughters of Atlas in the Pleiades, the seven ages of man, the seven levels of hell, the seven primary colors, the seven notes of the musical scale, and the seven days of the week? What about the seven-point rating scale, the seven categories for absolute judgment, the seven objects in the span of attention, and the seven digits in the span of immediate memory? For the present I propose to withhold judgment. Perhaps there is something deep and profound behind all these sevens, something just calling out for us to discover it. But I suspect that it is only a pernicious, Pythagorean coincidence.
What now, dear reader, shall we make of our telescope? Shall we make a Mercurys magic wand to cross the liquid aether with, and like Lucian lead a colony to the uninhabitied evening star, allured by the sweetness of the place?
What terrible questions we are learning to ask! The former men believed in magic, by which temples, cities, and men were swallowed up, and all trace of them gone. We are coming on the secret of a magic which sweeps out of men's minds all vestige of theism and beliefs which they and their fathers held and were framed upon.
When I was a boy, I read with great interest but skepticism about as magic lamp which was used with success by a certain Aladdin. Today I have no skepticism whatsoever about the magic of the xenon flash lamp which we use so effectively for many purposes.
Where lies the line between sorcery and science? It is only a matter of terminology, my friend.
Who ... is not familiar with Maxwell's memoirs on his dynamical theory of gases? ... from one side enter the equations of state; from the other side, the equations of motion in a central field. Ever higher soars the chaos of formulae. Suddenly we hear, as from kettle drums, the four beats 'put n=5.' The evil spirit v vanishes; and ... that which had seemed insuperable has been overcome as if by a stroke of magic ... One result after another follows in quick succession till at last ... we arrive at the conditions for thermal equilibrium together with expressions for the transport coefficients.
Women decide the larger questions of life correctly and quickly, not because they are lucky guessers, not because they practise a magic inherited from savagery, but simply and solely because they have sense. They see at a glance what most men could not see with searchlights and telescopes.
Words were originally magic, and the word retains much of its old magical power even to-day, With words one man can make another blessed, or drive him to despair; Words call forth effects and are the universal means of influencing human beings. Therefore let us not underestimate the use of words in psychotherapy.
[Magic] enables man to carry out with confidence his important tasks, to maintain his poise and his mental integrity in fits of anger, in the throes of hate, of unrequited love, of despair and anxiety. The function of magic is to ritualize man's optimism, to enhance his faith in the victory of hope over fear. Magic expresses the greater value for man of confidence over doubt, of steadfastness over vacillation, of optimism over pessimism.
[Richard P.] Feynman's cryptic remark, "no one is that much smarter ...," to me, implies something Feynman kept emphasizing: that the key to his achievements was not anything "magical" but the right attitude, the focus on nature's reality, the focus on asking the right questions, the willingness to try (and to discard) unconventional answers, the sensitive ear for phoniness, self-deception, bombast, and conventional but unproven assumptions.


text: The proximity readers are the devices that are used in access control systems. These devices read the data from the ID card and transmit them to the controller of ACS. There are also models designed to receive biometric data such as fingerprints or the iris of the eye. The devices may look differently depending on the type. The model for proximity-card is an electronic card with a built-in antenna. The device for reading the information from iris of the eye must have a camera. The most often the equipment is mounted near a doorway. The devices should have certain characteristics to be used outdoor. The proximity readers should be resistant to moisture, high or low air temperature, precipitation. The vandal proved devices are enclosed in metal cases, but durable polymer housings are also quite reliable. The distance of the identification can vary from 10 cm to 1 m. The user can easily understand that the identification was successful by a color change of the indicator, which is located on the body of the reader.

"Who Will Have the Last Dance?"
Stream Gakuen Alice Episode 20
Episode Summary: For the last night of the Alice Festival, there will be the Last Dance. Natsume and Ruka are asked by numerous girls to be their dates, but the boys reject them. Mikan is content with going with her friends rather than a boy. According to the rumor, during the final dance, the two partners will be soulmates forever. Mikan is surprised to find that Yura has a boyfriend and Anna and Nonoka have a crush on Misaki. Mikan believes that she is too young to like a boy, and doesn't understand anything about dating. Natsume gets Ruka to dance with Mikan, who then dances with other people before going to look for Natsume, who has retreated away from the party. Mikan invites him to dance with her, which he rejects because she should not get tainted by his darkness. He then tries to force her to leave, but when she complains that he has never called her by name, he does, which makes Mikan's heart pound. Ruka overhears this and notes that Mikan is the first girl he called by name. In the climax, Mikan is picked as Hotaru's last dance partner.

Parents Find Bullets In Son's Backpack
Re: Parents Find Bullets In Son's Backpack
I'd be outraged... why the heck is this boy suspended for doing the right thing? WTH?
Re: Parents Find Bullets In Son's Backpack
Hmm, maybe I have a controversial opinion here but while I can see that the boy did the right thing in a way, he did take bullets which he should have said no to. I can see the school's point of view on this because it's kind of a touchy situation. I don't necessarily think the kid should have been suspended but I think the right thing would have been to say no in the first place.

XFM's Winter Wonderland: Editors + Courteeners + The Temper Trap + Lucy Rose + Theme Park
Xfm's Winter Wonderland with Rocksmith returns this December.
Every year, Xfm puts on two huge live shows in London and Manchester, featuring some of the very best artists in the world of music today, plus a unique selection of exciting new acts for you to see before they become MASSIVE!
This event takes place at O2 Academy Brixton, which has achieved Silver Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
This Birmingham-based quartet have enjoyed a rapid rise to success since they met at college in Staffordshire in 2003. An intense sound influenced by iconic bands such as Joy Division, Echo and the Bunnymen and Interpol, their success story began when their 2005 debut album 'The Back Room' reached no. 2 in the UK, selling over half a million copies. Meanwhile 2007's 'An End Has A Start' and 2009's 'In This Light And On This Evening' both reached the no.1 position, and 2013's 'The Weight Of Your Love' also hit the top ten. No mean feat for a band still considered to be "alternative".
Editors tour dates
Manchester's Courteeners both look and sound as though they've come straight out of another time and place, and yet, somehow, are bang up to date. Think Babyshambles meets The Smiths and you'll be somewhere close to their gritty, electrifying sound. 'NME strongly advises that you do put your life in the hands of this rock 'n' roll band'.
Courteeners tour dates
The Temper Trap
Hailing from Australia, but now based in the UK, the band released their debut album, Conditions, in 2009. Featuring the singles Science of Fear, Fader, Love Lost and Sweet Disposition – the latter of which spent more than six months in the UK singles chart – the album was one of the breakthrough successes of the year and has now been certified Gold two-times over in the UK, selling over 800,000 copies worldwide. Now a five-piece, the band's line-up consists of Dougy Mandagi, Jonathon Aherne, Toby Dundas, Lorenzo Sillitto and Joseph Greer.

Theme Park
A series of single releases and extensive touring throughout 2012 gained the London trio a wealth of fans and supporters. The band released their eponymous debut album via Transgressive Records in February 2012. Think Talking Heads and Bombay Bicycle Club with a healthy helping of sun-kissed calypso!

Design International is delighted to announce that they will be honoured at the Africa and Arabia Property Awards for two of their projects in the 'Retail Architecture' category. Both Avenues Mall Silicon Oasis in Dubai, and Kingdom City Mall in Jeddah have been announced as winners, and will compete against the best property professionals across Africa and the Middle East to be recognised in the Retail Architecture category. Both projects have been named amongst the most innovative, exceptional, and ambitious projects of 2016, representing their country on an international stage in Dubai. The awards will be presented at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, in Dubai on the 22nd September.
The awards, which are in their 25th year, are judged by an independent panel of 70 industry experts. Judging focuses on design, quality, service, innovation, originality, and commitment to sustainability. The Africa and Arabia Property Awards are the largest, most prestigious, and widely recognised programme throughout the regions.
This announcement marks a significant achievement for Design International, with the International Property Award Winners' logo being recognised as a symbol of excellence throughout the industry. Entries are subject to a stringent vetting procedure, with only six per category, per country put through to the rigorous judging process, and for Design International to have two projects through is a fantastic accomplishment.
Studio Director and Lead Architect on both projects Alessandro Pologruto commented, "I am honoured with this achievement and delighted to have been singled out by such an esteemed ensemble. I am pleased that Design International's commitment to excellence is being celebrated within the industry, and well done to the whole team who worked extremely hard on both of these projects."

text: I just booked flights for DD & DW to come with me! I was going to go by myself and follow Oldest DD's volleyball team at AAU tourney. She stays with the team and we are on our own when not at the tournament. Well times are tight right now as DW has been out off work for 4 months this past year as youngest DD had 3 major surgeries (brain) this last year. So it was only going to be me to support oldest. I have been sort of depressed about going alone as I knew every time I did something all I would do is think about them and wish they were there. Well we figured we should go for it and just make things work. So now all of us are going and we are going to stay at POP CENTURY. 1st time at a value, AKL our 1st family trip and POR last time and both place were fantastic so I am betting so will Century. DD is waiting downstairs to watch Disney planning video, as she just found out tonight! I hope everyone feels as I do right now, when the decison to go is finally made. If you are around POP Century June 11-16 say howdy to the guy with the permagrin on his face. It will probably be me. Thanks for letting me share, YO

Why it's time to ditch your store card
Store cards seem, finally, to be dying out.
In September 2012, new legislation banned immediate discounts on shopping when cards are sold and, according to the Finance and Leasing Association (FLA) a trade association for retail lenders, store card borrowing fell 16% in the 3 months to June 2012, a fall consistent with a broader decline in the deals' popularity over the past five years.
Back in September 2008, Alliance & Leicester released research that revealed 1 in 4 adults in the UK carried a store card.
Far fewer people hold them now.
Only the store card providers are likely to be shedding tears, though.
Here's why we're cheering the demise of store cards, and we think you should be too.
What makes a store card?
Anyone that's been out shopping on the high street in the past decade has probably been offered a store card, perhaps without realising it.
Store cards are often advertised near the till when you go to pay and shop assistants are frequently, perhaps less frequently now, asked to mention them when ringing up purchases.
Store cards share certain characteristics which separate them from debit and credit cards, primarily:
- Restricted spending power: store cards can only be used for purchases with the named retailer.
- Gifts and special offers: money off vouchers, discounts on spending or gifts (though, because rules imposed in November 2011, they won't be offered as soon as the card is taken out) are usually followed by a points scheme and occasional special offers for cardholders.
- Interest: unlike loyalty cards, where cardholders pick up points, store cards charge interest on purchases.
Many big name brands - Burtons, Debenhams and Topshop, for example - offer their customers store cards.
What's wrong with them?
But don't let those big names get you fooled: there are big problems with these cards that make them unsuitable, or at least unattractive, for most people.
High interest rates:
The interest rates on store cards are higher than those of the vast majority of credit cards: 25 to 30% p.a. variable.
High rates like that can easily increase the price of purchases significantly.
For example, spending £500 on a store card with a 29.9% APR and making average monthly repayments of £48 until the amount was paid back in full would rack up £74 in interest within 12 months.
It is worth noting, however, that store card providers claim that focusing on interest rates is misleading.
Fiona Hoyle of store card trade body the Finance and Leasing Association has said that there is, "no evidence of consumers being unable to manage their spending on cards".
Hoyle claims in one month the average store card balance is just £2.80 and points out that credit limits are usually low.
However, low is inevitably a somewhat relative term in this case: if the consumer can't pay the balance back it's, by definition, too high.
Sold by untrained sales staff
Moreover, despite those high interest rates, store cards are marketed to younger consumers and pushed hard to everybody.
As of September 2012, there's been a ban on direct commission to sales staff for signing customers up to store cards which has reduced the push somewhat, which can only be a good thing for consumers.
A May 2010 survey commissioned by discount website Myvouchercodes.co.uk found that 51% of those questioned that didn't have a store card had refused one '10 or more times'.
Of the 564 survey respondents who did have a store card, 42% said that they had felt 'pressured' into signing up while 19% admitted that they applied without really knowing what the product was.
That statistic could also be a product of the fact that store cards are usually sold by retail sales staff who aren't trained to sell financial products.
The same study seemed to reflect that fact in other ways too: 3 in 5 of those questioned admitted that they were unaware of the interest rates they'd be subject to before they signed up.
Amazingly, 59% even thought that store cards would enable them to 'shop now, pay later' without ever paying interest on their purchases.
Poor rewards
In addition, the rewards on offer are frequently of a poor quality.
As of September 2012, store cards must not advertise rewards that can be redeemed at the point of purchase or within the first seven days of card membership.
In other words, one of the most effective tools those selling store cards had - the line: "if you take the card you'll get 20% off this shop" - is now gone.
Most of the mainstream store cards now offer a 10 to 20% discount on cardholders first spend in the shop on their new card (after the seven day cooling off period) but then little else in return for their customer's loyalty.
In that sense, store cards shouldn't be confused with retail reward credit cards, which are quite different beasts.
In recent years Tesco, Sainsbury's, Amazon, M&S and others have all turned their hands to financial services, releasing credit cards for their customers and often incorporating their own points schemes into the deals.
But these aren't store cards: they offer much lower interest rates comparatively, allow cardholders to spend on the card wherever they like and, crucially, they aren't sold at the till (generally speaking, see below).
See our guide for more information generally on credit card rewards.
To cap it all, store cards are more likely to charge certain types of fees than either debit or credit cards.
For example, store cards issued by Santander are currently some of the few cards to charge their customers a credit balance fee (explained here) for holding a positive balance on the account during three consecutive months.
Really worse than credit cards?
Having said all that, however, we're a credit card information site. Many of the cards we list have high interest rates and we're never so smug as when we spot that a big boast on rewards isn't quite what it seems. Are store cards really so different?
Store card-alikes
It's certainly true that it's not so unusual for credit card providers to partake in the same questionable practices that we dislike in store cards.
Reward cards for online retailers, for example, often advertise in the same way that store cards are banned from doing on the high street, by offering a discount on customer's shopping baskets when they go to pay.
Just as with a store card, that encourages people to apply for a credit card on impulse and risk damaging their credit ratings after making an application that wasn't really suitable for them.
The difference, we think, is that these practices are the exception in the general credit card market but they're commonplace when it comes to store cards.
Still, we'll freely admit that store card providers aren't the only ones to behave badly towards consumers.
Grabbing the discounts
Some might argue that the main similarity, however, is that it's possible to spend on the cards to get some discounts (though not, as we discussed above, initial discounts) and then pay off in full within the interest-free period.
For those that are loyal to a particular brand this can be an efficient way to capitalise on spending and earn as many rewards as possible without changing spending habits.
Many store card users have also learnt to make the most of the discounts available to them by, for example, getting friends and family to make purchases when they have a discounted spend to get as much benefit out of the discount as possible.

We conducted a cluster randomized controlled trial to examine the effectiveness of computerized decision support (CDS) designed to improve hypertension care and outcomes in a racially diverse sample of primary care patients.
We randomized 2,027 adult patients receiving hypertension care in 14 primary care practices to either 18 months of their physicians receiving CDS for each hypertensive patient or to usual care without computerized support for the control group. We assessed prescribing of guideline-recommended drug therapy and levels of blood pressure control for patients in each group and examined if the effects of the intervention differed by patients' race/ethnicity using interaction terms.
Rates of blood pressure control were 42% at baseline and 46% at the outcome visit with no significant differences between groups. After adjustment for patients' demographic and clinical characteristics, number of prior visits, and levels of baseline blood pressure control, there were no differences between intervention groups in the odds of outcome blood pressure control. The use of CDS to providers significantly improved Joint National Committee (JNC) guideline adherent medication prescribing compared to usual care (7% versus 5%, P<0.001); the effects of the intervention remained after multivariable adjustment (odds ratio [OR] 1.39 [CI, 1.13–1.72]) and the effects of the intervention did not differ by patients' race and ethnicity.
CDS improved appropriate medication prescribing with no improvement in disparities in care and overall blood pressure control. Future work focusing on improvement of these interventions and the study of other practical interventions to reduce disparities in hypertension-related outcomes is needed.
Measuring and improving the quality of hypertension care has become a national priority in recent years. Prior studies have demonstrated substantial problems in the quality of hypertension treatment and low rates of blood pressure control, as well as racial and socioeconomic disparities.1–14 Hypertension is particularly burdensome among racial/ethnic minority groups7–14 and hypertension-related cardiovascular disease has been shown to be the greatest contributor to racial differences in mortality.12
Several reviews have emphasized the importance of designing pragmatic interventions to improve care and reduce disparities in outcomes of chronic diseases15–17; one such intervention may be the use of computerized decision support (CDS). In a prior randomized trial, we found that CDS for diabetes and coronary artery disease care were effective for improving provider adherence with recommended processes of care.18 Other studies have also demonstrated that computer-based reminders are effective in improving measures of process of care, but intermediate clinical outcomes, such as blood pressure control, are rarely examined and when studied are frequently not improved.19–23
We utilized a practical cluster randomized controlled trial24 to examine the effectiveness of CDS, designed to remind physicians about hypertension treatment guidelines with the goals of: (1) improving levels of blood pressure control, (2) improving provider adherence with recommended drug therapy, and (3) reducing racial/ethnic disparities in hypertension care and outcomes.
The trial period was from July 1, 2003 through February 1, 2005. The sample included 8 community-based and 6 hospital-based primary care practices affiliated with a large urban academic medical center; these practices were stratified by size and type (women's health versus general primary care and community health center [CHC] versus non-CHC). We then randomized half of these clinics to have their physicians receive CDS for each hypertensive patient as an intervention and half to provide usual care without computerized decision support. In addition to our trial of CDS, 1 hospital-based clinic from each of the study arms was randomly selected to participate in a concurrent pilot trial examining the effectiveness of interval visits for hypertensive patients with a specialized nurse practitioner (NP) between regularly scheduled primary care appointments. Figure 1 illustrates the clinic assignment and patient selection used for the study.
We examined data obtained from the electronic medical record (EMR) of patients older than 20 years with a diagnosis of hypertension to determine whether the use of CDS improved physician prescribing of guideline-recommended drug therapy and levels of blood pressure control and if the effects of this intervention differed by patient race/ethnicity. The Human Studies Committee at the Brigham and Women's Hospital approved the study protocol.
We studied adult patients with at least 1 hypertension-related outpatient visit to 1 of the study clinics during the 1-year period before the beginning of the interventions. From these patients, we examined records of patients aged >20 years, who had at least 2 hypertension-related outpatient visits to 1 of the participating practices during the intervention trial, and whose race/ethnicity was available (96%) in administrative data. All of the clinics involved in the study used EMR, including electronic prescribing of medications, for each patient during the study period. To identify hypertension-related visits, we reviewed the electronic medical record for all clinic visits with a primary or secondary diagnostic code of hypertension (HTN) (ICD-9 401–401.9, 405–405.99).
Using national guidelines or standards including the Health Plan Employer Data and Information Set (HEDIS), the sixth and seventh reports of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure (JNC VI and VII), and the American Heart Association/American College of Cardiology (AHA/ACC) 2001 guidelines for cardiovascular disease prevention, we developed racial and disease-specific (i.e., diabetes, congestive heart failure, coronary heart disease) algorithms for blood pressure treatment emphasizing the pharmacologic drug class recommended for each condition.1,6,25,26
We used similar methods to our previously described study of electronic decision support.18 Each time that a clinician opened a patient's chart, an algorithm was run within the EMR to determine whether the patient was receiving a medication in an antihypertensive drug class in accordance with JNC guidelines. The algorithm searched patients' vital signs, problem lists, medication lists, and allergy lists within the electronic record. CDS was automatically generated for a patient based on a documentation of hypertension in the problem list, or an average of the patient's 3 most recent documented blood pressure readings ≥140/90 for patients without an existing diagnosis of hypertension, and the patient not having any medications in the guideline-recommended drug class on their medication list. Patients with a listed allergy to a drug in the recommended class were not considered eligible to receive the recommended therapy. The reminders were extensively tested before implementation using dummy patients within the EMR.
Before the start of the intervention, participating physicians were sent a global e-mail notifying them of new hypertension-related reminders. Once the CDS was generated, all clinicians practicing within clinics randomized to CDS received the appropriate reminders. Reminders were displayed within the EMR on the main patient summary screen when the patient's record was accessed; these reminders were suppressed for physicians practicing in clinics in the control arm. In addition to the electronic display, the reminders generated from the CDS could also be printed off onto a paper version generated using the same algorithms as the electronic reminders; these reminders could be printed on a patient summary page and were distributed to physicians at the beginning of a practice session. Table 1 demonstrates examples of the reminders generated by our CDS for physicians. Algorithms for each of the CDS rules and subsequent reminders are available in the Appendix figure.
During the pilot NP trial, patients reporting for routine hypertension care to a clinic assigned to the NP arm were called by study staff within 1 week of their most recent visit during the study period to explain the purpose of the NP and to obtain their verbal consent to see the NP at their usual source of care within 2 weeks of that most recent physician visit. Consented patients met with a research assistant in the waiting room at the time of their scheduled NP appointments and were escorted to the NP examination room located in the same clinic. Table 1 lists the NP duties performed during each visit. One NP conducted all patient visits and follow-up phone calls.
Providers practicing in clinics randomized to the NP had the option of refusing patients for NP co-management. Of the 1,452 patients receiving care in NP clinics during the study, 921 (63%) were consented and had at least 1 visit to the NP; of these, only 193 (21%) met inclusion criteria for our analyses (Fig. 1).
Through an electronic query of each participant's EMR we obtained: patient race/ethnicity, sex, age at the time of the first visit, primary insurer, drug allergies, comorbid diseases (diabetes, congestive heart failure [CHF], coronary artery disease [CAD], or renal failure) as listed on the patient problem list, and classes of antihypertensive drugs on the medication list. In addition, we examined electronic prescribing records for each patient, collecting data on new antihypertensive medication prescribing within 7 days of each reminder date. We selected a period of 7 days to identify medication changes that were more likely the direct result of the reminder being seen by the provider.18
Trained abstracters then reviewed the EMR for each patient's blood pressure for the first and last hypertension-related visits during the study period to obtain participants' index and outcome visit blood pressures. We defined the last hypertension-related visit during the study period as the outcome visit to reflect the HEDIS measure of most recent blood pressure control and to allow the most time between physician exposure to CDS and clinical outcomes. Abstracters obtained blood pressure readings from 2 sources: (1) the vital signs field of the electronic medical record, which contains blood pressure measures typically entered by a nurse or medical assistant when the patient registers for an appointment, and (2) the text of the provider's encounter note for each visit. We examined the text of providers' notes for blood pressure readings because nurses/medical assistants did not uniformly transfer readings into the electronic vital signs field in all clinics until January of 2005 when all the affiliated clinics had electronic blood pressure devices that allowed them to directly download readings into the electronic record.
If more than 1 blood pressure was documented for a visit, we averaged them to obtain the mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. We also classified each mean blood pressure as controlled (<130/80 for patients with diabetes or renal failure or <140/90 for other patients) or uncontrolled. Visits with undocumented blood pressures were also classified as uncontrolled. We found blood pressure was documented for 97% of index and 95% of outcome visits. For a random subset of 30 records, we tested for interrater reliability and found excellent agreement for our data abstraction instrument among reviewers (kappa=0.90).
Our sample of 14 clinics was chosen on the basis of feasibility for CDS. After assuming a 20% increase in sample size to account for within-physician correlation, we estimated a minimum of 943 patients per CDS arm would provide 80% power to detect a 10% absolute increase in blood pressure control and guideline compliance rates in the intervention arm compared to the control arm. Before the intervention, we estimated that an 18-month trial would be sufficient to enroll 2,274 eligible patients in the CDS and usual care study arms.
In our analyses, patients are the primary unit of analysis; however, randomization occurred at the level of the clinic and CDS was targeted to providers nested within the clinic. For this reason, all analyses were carried out using the SUDAAN software package to account for correlation between patients seen by the same physician and between physicians practicing within the same clinic.27 We tested the effectiveness of the CDS using "intent-to-treat" analyses; all patients' whose initial visits occurred in an intervention clinic were assigned to that intervention throughout the analyses. Study endpoints included blood pressure control and mean systolic and diastolic blood pressures at the outcome visit. In addition, for each encounter where a reminder was generated or suppressed we examined whether the provider prescribed a medication in the recommended drug class within 1 week of the visit date. We compared patients' baseline demographic and clinical characteristics by study arm (Table 2) using the Pearson chi-square test for categorical variables and analysis of variance (ANOVA) for continuous variables. We report two-tailed P values with statistical significance set at P≤0.05 for these analyses.
We analyzed a series of multivariable logistic regression models to assess whether CDS was associated with the prescribing of a guideline recommended drug class or outcome visit blood pressure control compared to usual care. Using linear regression, we assessed whether the intervention was associated with improved outcome visit mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure. All models adjusted for patients' sociodemographic characteristics. To adjust for severity of illness, models included an adjustment for the number of patient care visits each patient received the year before the intervention. In addition, because the NP pilot was also aimed at improving blood pressure control, models predicting outcome blood pressure levels also contained an adjustment for NP and patients' baseline blood pressure. Data were available on every variable for all 2,027 participants for multivariable logistic regression and for 1,879 of the 2,027 participants (93%) for the multivariable linear regressions; participants without complete data were excluded from linear regressions. We report adjusted odds ratios with 95% confidence intervals from logistic models and the adjusted least square means from linear regression for each predictor along with its P value.
We performed several secondary analyses. To determine whether CDS reduced any racial/ethnic differences in measured outcomes, we included interaction terms for patient race/ethnicity and intervention arm. All nonsignificant interaction terms were removed from the final model. To examine any potential misclassification of patients without documented blood pressure, we repeated our analyses excluding patients with no documented index or outcome blood pressure.
Overall, there were 2,027 eligible patients in our sample, with 1,048 (52%) receiving care in usual care clinics, 786 (39%) receiving care in CDS clinics, 120 (6%) receiving care in NP clinics, and 73 (4%) receiving care in NP and CDS clinics (Fig. 1). Usual care clinics had significantly fewer non-Hispanic Black patients compared to clinics in the other intervention arms (Table 2). Demographic and clinical differences of study participants by intervention arm are presented in Table 2.
Rates of blood pressure control were 42% at baseline and 46% at the outcome visit. After adjustment for patients' demographic and clinical characteristics, the number of prior visits, and levels of baseline blood pressure control, there were no differences between intervention groups in the odds of outcome blood pressure control (Table 3). Racial and ethnic minority patients were significantly less likely to have their blood pressure controlled at the outcome visit than non-Hispanic Whites. In the secondary analysis, which excluded patients without a documented index or outcome visit blood pressure, findings were consistent with our primary analyses demonstrating no effect of CDS on blood pressure control.
At the initial visits, participants had an average systolic blood pressure of 137 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure of 79 mmHg at baseline without significant differences between study groups (Table 2). After multivariable adjustment, there were no differences between intervention groups in mean systolic or diastolic blood pressure readings at outcome visits (Table 4). Racial/ethnic minority patients had slightly higher mean systolic blood pressure levels at the outcome visits than non-Hispanic Whites.
There were no differences in the effects of the interventions by patients' race/ethnicity in secondary analyses, suggesting CDS has no differential effect on reducing disparities in BP control or mean blood pressure levels over time.
Overall, 90% of participants were taking a JNC-recommended blood pressure medication at the first visit without any differences between intervention groups at baseline (Table 2). During the intervention period, of the 20,977 visits for which a reminder was triggered or suppressed, providers prescribed a medication in the guideline-recommended class within 1 week of 1,218 visits (6%). Providers randomized to CDS were more likely to prescribe the recommended drug class when compared to controls (7% versus 5%, P<.001). After multivariable adjustment, providers practicing in intervention clinics remained significantly more likely to prescribe a recommended drug than controls (P=.002) (Table 5). Non-Hispanic Black patients were also significantly more likely to receive a recommended drug compared to non-Hispanic Whites, and there were no significant interactions between receiving care in an intervention clinic and race and ethnicity in the multivariable model. Patients who were privately insured had significantly higher odds of receiving a new JNC adherent medication than other insurance groups and men were slightly less likely to receive new JNC adherent medication than women.
This study is, to our knowledge, the first trial of interventions to reduce disparities and improve the quality and outcomes of hypertension care for patients in academic hospital and community-based practices. Interventions conducted in these practice locations are particularly relevant because they provide chronic disease care for a disproportionately larger number of minority patients.28 We found that CDS to physicians about hypertension treatment guidelines increased recommended medication prescribing compared to usual care. No significant improvements, however, were observed in measures of blood pressure control. In addition, we found that the effectiveness of our intervention did not differ by patients' race/ethnicity and mild disparities in blood pressure control persisted.
There are many potential explanations as to why our CDS had no impact with respect to blood pressure control. Our intervention was designed to remind physicians of the appropriate JNC drug class to prescribe for special hypertensive patients (i.e., beta blockade for patients with coronary disease) and was not designed to remind providers about appropriate intensification of antihypertensive therapy. In a study published in 2004, we examined patients receiving care in these settings and found that blood pressure remained poorly controlled among only 36% of hypertension-related visits, although patients were receiving a JNC-recommended medication for 81% of visits.14 We also found that minorities were more likely to have poorly controlled hypertension despite being more likely to receive a guideline-recommended drug. Secondary analyses of these data determined that Hispanics, the racial/ethnic group with poorest control, were less likely to have had their therapy appropriately intensified at any time over a 1-year period and that intensification of therapy was highly correlated with obtaining subsequent blood pressure control.14,29 Future interventions aimed at increasing rates of appropriate antihypertensive intensification should be studied to determine whether such CDS can improve hypertension outcomes and future studies aimed at reducing disparities may require more intensive, nonclinic-based interventions to overcome factors that pose particular challenges for traditionally underserved patients, such as lack of access to medications, medical mistrust, and environmental stress.15,30
Focusing solely on blood pressure control as an outcome may detract attention from other evidence-based quality measures that can be more readily improved. For example, increasing appropriate ACE-inhibitor prescribing for hypertension patients with diabetes or congestive heart failure may be especially important,6 yet the associated outcomes related to increasing ACE-inhibitor use are longer term and would require a longer study period and larger sample size to document a meaningful effect. Focusing solely on measures, like blood pressure control, that can be defined and measured in the short term might understate the true impact of the guideline adherence.31
Our study has additional limitations. First, we relied on medical charts to measure quality of care and blood pressure control, which may have led to an underestimation of actual level of care provided.32 Second, whereas we assessed important markers of quality, some clinics might have improved in areas of care that we did not measure (e.g., improving provider experiences). Last, we did not survey providers about their opinions and knowledge of the clinical guidelines used as a basis for our CDS. Prior research has demonstrated that provider disagreement with guideline recommendations might be a significant barrier to provider guideline adherence.18
We conducted a pragmatic randomized trial of a CDS system within academic and community-based practices providing hypertension care to a multiethnic sample of patients. Whereas we found that CDS significantly improved appropriate medication prescribing, we observed no reduction in racial and ethnic disparities in care or improvement in blood pressure control. The substantial room for improvement in blood pressure control in the postintervention period suggests the need for future work focusing on different targets for CDS and the study of other practical interventions to reduce disparities in blood pressure control.

Family Tree
Use elements of nature to create a photo gallery out of a nearby tree. Using nails, a hammer, and decorative ribbon – create this look to add a memorable addition to your venue. If you are renting your venue – please be sure to check with the owner of the grounds prior to nailing into a tree. Additionally, do not attempt to design this photo display on a small tree that will be unable to support the weight of many frames.
Burlap Photo Lines
This look is perfect for any country wedding. To create this look, hole punch your photos and then thread string through the burlap, tying a knot at the front or back of the photo. Click here to learn how to make the perfect burlap bow.
Pallet Collages
Recycle an old pallet by scattering your photos throughout the surface. These decorations are easy to assemble prior to your wedding, and easily transferable to your venue. Use wood letters to add a personal touch, or place lanterns around the pallet to create a romantic ambiance.
Shutter Upcycle
You can usually find old shutters at garage sales, craft fairs, and home renovation thrift stores. Use clothes pins to hang photos or memorabilia on window shutters.
Easy Easel Displays
Easels are a great way to show off photos in any setting. Try creating table numbers out of your pictures and posing them on your tables using small easels.
DIY Floral Hoop
Using a hula hoop, spray paint, silk flowers, and ribbon – you could make this adorable hanging photo gallery. Spray paint the hula hoop to the color of your liking, adhere the silk flowers to the edge of the hula hoop, and wrap the ribbon around the hula hoop front. Hot glue your photos to the ribbon prior to wrapping around the hula hoop to make sure the photos don't fall during your event.
Decorative Doilies
Paper doilies are a beautiful accent to simple string-hung photos. Glue your photos to the paper doilies, and then hang the photos on string with clothes pins for a classic, warm photo display.
Climbing Up The Ladder
Never pass up the chance to own a small wooden ladder. Ladders can be easily painted and decorated in frames to make a beautiful collection of pictures. Try using vases, votives, and flowers to help incorporate your wedding colors.
Looking Through The Window
Old windows have a versatile use when it comes to displaying photos. You can use a window marker to write the names of your bridal party next to their pictures, or fill some of the panes with paper squares to create a unique guest book you can later hang in your home. We personally love when the bride and groom share photos of their relationship unfolding over time.
Mason Jar Moments
Using mason jars and vegetable oil, you can create a quaint photo display that is perfect for table decor. Use branch accents to add a rustic touch.
From Tire To Gallery
The spokes of a bike tire are a great way to share memories with your guests! Try weaving the photos through the spokes and then displaying the tire on an easel for all to see.
Sweet And Simple
String and clothes pins is all you need. Sweet and simple! A flower hung on the string doesn't hurt either!
Floating Memories
Balloons filled with helium float to the top of the the room, leaving a string with picture attached at eye level. This creative way of displaying photos is inexpensive to create and offers an interactive experience for guests.
Branching Out
Manzanita trees and branches are a fast, easy way to display photos. Pictures can be hung directly on the branches, or attached to ribbon for a more intricate look.
Fill A Frame
Frames come in many shapes and sizes. If you see a frame you like, try removing the picture or backing and string your own pictures across it. Guests will have a great time looking at all of your photos from beginning to end.
