Hmmm ....
Nothing has changed, and the story remains the same. Bad = Good and that's about all there is to it. Japan improves dwindling hopes of moar QE - markets fall. Someone misses GDP or had bad economic news and the markets rally. Just keep the hopium flowing and the larger the injection the better.
The worse things get the better the markets perform - why? QE, plain and simple. Whether it's a Hilsenrath or Draghi rumor, a Fed president or Yellen speaking - The only thing that moves the market is QE news (and maybe some botched foreign policy stuff like failed CIA coups or false flags gone bad which are becoming the norm).
Take the WMT miss this morning. Walmart Misses Across The Board, Guides Lower: Blames It On Weather, Obamacare And Taxes and the markets reaction? Ho-hum. Uh, hello people. The worlds largest retailer, the barometer for global everything economic has been fading for over a year. They miss and we just dismiss it like, it was the weather's fault? No big deal? All is well? Excuse me but if a WMT miss does not move the needle, then what does? QE and only QE.
Houston, we have a problem. LOL, and never mind Russia, China and Iran working their tails off to destroy the dollar. Never mind the coming Silver market un-rigging (STB "event" worth moment). Pay no attention to the now global social unrest. Pay no attention to anything! The markets are at ATH's and all is well! #LOL Like I have said for years, the market is all they have left and that illusion must survive at all or any cost. Remain patient. We're close if not there.
On to the lie -
I could baffle you with BS and dazzle you with charts a plenty, but let's not. I'm pretty sure we all know where things stand - 16,613 feet up, on a very windy perch, on a pile of sand, on a layer of ice, on gravel that is one pebble's movement away from giving way to the fall from glory. Treacherous does not begin to describe our current situation.
You all know STB loves confirmation from the experts. This little blog just rolls along in relative anonymity doing its thing and preaching its steadfast beliefs, so when one of the "experts" comes and confirms this peons thoughts it can be a bit gratifying. Where have you heard this before? ""nervous, it's nervous time" and in this "dangerous market", it is "time to preserve money"; his advice to anyone listening: "don't be too freakin' long"." Sounds like .... me! But it was Mr. Tepper.
Top - this may become a daily bullet point discussion topic in the posts from now on. Seems to be what most are interested in, and apparently I have an audience that cares to hear my opinion on this. Uh ...... Hmmmm ...... Let me say this, there is not a single indicator left that's not pointing to a top right now. You name it and it's either maxed or bottomed out. I talk the STB "event" and show you the weekly and monthly charts. Like I said above, we're one shifting pebble from losing all support right now, and that 16,613 foot cliff is looming. This triple rising wedge scenario is really kinda cool. Who could ask for more? What a bearish technical scenario at a time when when world is crashing down and lies are all there is supporting anything. As mentioned, an overthrow of all of this would be the storybook ending to this bear market run from 2009.
Minis 15m - STB point just below at 1874 s/r/green/blue is in sight. It may or may not make it, but from when I pointed it out, price has sure started at least tracking that way.
Minis 4hr - I highlighted the rising yellow wedge. A-E touches could be considered complete with the new high yesterday. This technically ends all three wedges red, yellow and green and has great potential to have marked the top. Price is literally running for its life here with the RDofD just below and blue and red dashed ultimate supports way in the picture. I must point out the potential inverted HnS with neckline at 1886. I have not mentioned this previously, but it is there.
Patience and preparation - Those need to be your guiding words over the next couple of months. Be ready to strike. Be ready to survive. Don't worry about timing the top. We got 16,631 feet to fall. You'll have time to get in on plenty of good action (until they outlaw shorting of course). As mentioned above and over the years, I'd consider taking profits OUT of their system systematically. Of course this is an unpatriotic terrorist act. That said, you decide what needs to be done and where your assets are safest.
More to come below.
Have you shared STB lately?
Have a good day.

Pelton Turbine Working, Main Parts, Application with Diagram
In this article we will study about the Pelton wheel or Pelton turbine working, main parts, application with diagram. IT is a hydraulic turbine which is used in most of the hydroelectric power plant to generate electricity. It is used for the water available at high head.
What is Pelton Turbine?
It is a type of tangential flow impulse turbine used to generate electricity in the hydroelectric power plant. This turbine was discovered by the American engineer L.A. Pelton
- The energy available at the inlet of the Pelton turbine is only kinetic energy. The pressure at the inlet and outlet of the turbine is atmospheric pressure.
- This type of turbine is used for high head.
Main Parts
The various parts of the Pelton turbine are
|Pelton Turbine
1. Nozzle and Flow Regulating Arrangement (Spear)
- Nozzle is used to increase the kinetic energy of the water that is going to strike the buckets or vanes attached to the runner.
- The quantity of water that strikes the buckets is controlled by spear. The spear is installed inside the nozzle and regulates the flow of water that is going to strike on the vanes of the runner. A nozzle containing spear is shown in the figure given below.
- The spear is a conical needle present in the nozzle. It is operated by a hand wheel or automatically in an axial direction.
- When the spear is move backward the rate of flow of water increases and when it is pushed forward the rate of flow of water decreases.

2. Runner and Buckets
The runner with buckets is shown in the figure given below.
- Runner is a rotating part of the turbine. It is a circular disc on the periphery of which a number of buckets evenly spaced are fixed.
- The buckets are made by two hemispherical bowl joined together. Each buckets have a wall in between two hemispherical bowl called splitter.
- The splitter splits the jet of water striking the buckets into two equal parts and the jet of water comes out at the outer edge of the bucket.
- The buckets are designed in such a way that the jet of water strike the buckets, deflected through 160 degree to 170 degree.
- The buckets of the Pelton turbine are made up of cast iron, cast steel bronze or stainless steel.
3. Casing:
The outer covering of the this turbine is called casing. The Pelton turbine with the casing is shown in the figure given below.
- It prevents the splashing of the water and helps to discharge the water to the trail race. It also acts as a safeguard in the case of any accident occurs.
- Cast iron or fabricated steel plates are used to make the casing of the Pelton Turbine.
4. Breaking jet
- When the jet of water is completely closed by pushing the spear in forward direction than the amount of water striking the runner becomes zero. But still the runner keeps moving due to the inertia of the runner.
- In order to stop the runner in the shortest possible time a small nozzle is provided which directs the jet of water at the back of the vanes. This jet of water used to stop the runner of the turbine is called breaking jet.
- The water stored at high head is made to flow through the penstock and reaches the nozzle of the Pelton turbine.
- The nozzle increases the K.E. of the water and directs the water in the form of jet.
- The jet of water from the nozzle strikes the buckets (vanes) of the runner. This made the runner to rotate at very high speed.
- The quantity of water striking the vanes or buckets is controlled by the spear present inside the nozzle.
- The generator is attached to the shaft of the runner which converts the mechanical energy ( i.e. rotational energy) of the runner into electrical energy.
This is all about the Pelton turbine working, main parts, application with diagram. If you Find anything missing or incorrect than don't forget to comment. And if you like the article than like us on google+ and Facebook.

Working out a Cordonnet
Michael Dennis
Firstly I must point out that I am not an expert in needlelace and the following are my observations through writing and drawing needlelace patterns over a good number of years. I have used the Mushroom pattern from my earlier article as the basis for this article.
The text books say that the theme throughout is to make sure that there are two threads couched down over all lines of the design. Keep the number of branches to a minimum. The finish does not have to end where you started. Try not to start on a corner as this will weaken the cordonnet. It is a good idea to start off in the middle of the design if possible as this gives a stronger join as you are working filling threads from both sides. Try to start on one of the longer lines of the design.
When I am working out a cordonnet diagram I use the computer as described earlier but that is the way I work. To work with pencil and paper I suggest putting small symbols on the lines as you work round, >> indicates that you are couching down both threads and <> indicates that this line is a branch and is therefore a single thread going one way and both threads are couched down on the way back.
Once you have decided where you are going to start working round the design looking at all lines coming off the line you are working on to see whether or not you could make a branch to an already laid line. It is always good practice to make a branch to an area where the cordonnet threads are already couched down but this is not always possible. You can make a branch to an area where the threads are not already couched and leave a loop at the end of the line to be picked up later.
With all of the above in mind I decided to make the start in the centre at the bottom of the large mushroom cap.
I started with the loop at A and worked round to B. I ignored lines going off at L, R and D as there were no laid lines at the ends of these lines to make a branch.
At B it was obvious that I needed to make a branch to A to complete the top mushroom cap. (A branch is a line that has a single thread going one way looped under and over the already couched threads and laid back to where it started, in this case a single line to B, and back to A giving you your two threads.)
In hindsight and since learning a bit more I should have started where B is, worked round the mushroom cap and taken both threads through the original loop. This would have saved having to make a branch B to A.
All of the following sequences are straight forward.
From B two threads down to C
At C one thread round to D under and over and back to C. Back at C pick up the thread that was left and both down to E.
At E, branch to F, both threads down to G, branch to H, two threads round to I.
At I there is a choice, you can go down and round with both threads past O and onto N and then take a single thread all the round the mushroom cap to O, under and over at O and back to J, make another branch J to I, then back to K make a branch at K to L then back to O to pick up the thread you left. The problem here is that is a long way to go and three branches to make with a single thread.
If it is done the way I did it, taking both threads up the stalk past K and M to N making a branch K to L, There is only the one branch instead of three.(It is better to couch both threads down wherever possible and keep the branches to a minimum.)
At N I now have to make a double branch with a single thread. Until now we have taken a single thread to already couched threads and laid back to where we left off.
This time I took the single thread to J and back to O then down and round to I and back to O then back to N where I picked up the thread I left behind.
Take both threads down and round to P. Make a branch P to M. Then both threads round to Q. At Q take one thread under and over at R and couch all three threads back to Q. Take the other thread left at Q and lay it over the threads L to R and couch down over the existing threads
This concludes the design of the cordonnet for this design.
What I have shown you is the text book method of working a cordonnet. There are times when you cannot work a single length of cordonnet, or for other reasons you want to work the cordonnet in sections.
As in the case of this penguin - it has two cordonnets. This is perfectly acceptable as long as the cordonnets are linked into each other.
I have shown one cordonnet in a magenta colour and the other in black.
I have also shown below enlarged the cordonnet around the penguin's eyes, although it looks complicated with a bit of thought it is possible to work two circles in a single cordonnet.
The parrot shown here was worked with several cordonnets linked into each other as I wanted a different coloured cordonnet for each area of the design.
This idea helps when it comes to the top stitching as you do not have to worry that the cordonnet will show through when the top stitching is completed.
The cordonnet for the parrot was worked without drawing it out first. As long as you give some logical thought to the direction of each line round each area before it is couched I found that it was not difficult at all.
I mentioned in the third paragraph of this article the use of arrows if you were working out the cordonnet using paper and pen.
The drawing shown shows the finished cordonnet using this method.
I have found this article to be one of the hardest I have ever composed. There are so many variations to working out a cordonnet for any given design. I hope it has taken the fear out of those who have struggled with this topic. It is not difficult, it just needs some logical thought given to the pattern, and work around the design in sequence. If it is a very complicated design see if it can be broken down into sections and the work out each section before moving on to the next.

Abstract: The skull, teeth, phallus and bacula of Microtus guentheri specimens raised in the laboratory were investigated at different stages of postnatal development. The most of the cranial measurements attained those of adults on day 60. There were determined to be some morphological differences between the skulls of young and adult voles. The incisors and the molars began to erupt at 3 and 6 days, respectively. It was shown that there was no difference in respect to the phallic and bacular morphology between young and adults except for size. The proximal bacula became larger during the period between juvenile life and adulthood. Findings showed that the morphological peculiarities of skull, teeth, phallus and baculum during postnatal development may be also useful in determining the age of the sepicimens.

Star Trek Ent - Season 4 - Episode 03
Originally Aired: 2004-10-22
Once the NX-01 finally returns to Earth, the weary crewmen face repercussions of their journeys, both positive and negative. [DVD]
- A WWIII epic won several movie awards, but in TNG: The Neutral Zone, Data said TV became obsolete by 2040. Maybe conventional TV died, but movies were still made?
- Erika Hernandez is the captain of the NX-02 Columbia.
- Vulcan is 16 light years from Earth.
Remarkable Scenes
- Archer: "I've been told that people are calling us heroes. When it comes to my crew, you won't get any argument from me."
- Archer freaking out at Soval for his questions about the events of Ent: Impulse.
- Archer: "Things have changed since Enterprise left spacedock. You spend a lot of your time boldly going into battle."
- Phlox' blow up face trick.
- The joke references to the kalifee from TOS: Amok Time when T'Pol first met with Kos were nicely placed.
- T'Pol and Trip visiting the Fire Plains of Vulcan.
- Archer and T'Pol making up.
- The Vulcan dignitary performing the marriage ceremony. He used the exact same words as T'Pau did in TOS: Amok Time.
My Review
Somehow I expected this episode to be just as good as TNG: Family, but it fell short on several levels. There are three plot threads in this episode, one dealing with Archer and his difficulty in accepting hero worship, another dealt with T'Pol and Trip and their relationship, and another dealt with xenophobia on Earth. There is nice continuity all throughout the episode such as that with Ent: The Andorian Incident and Ent: Shadows of P'Jem regarding T'Les and her forced retirement which makes it pleasant to watch and a nice change of pace, but this episode left me with a feeling of inadequacy. More time should be spent on Earth exploring these and other issues, but unfortunately we're not going to get it. Archer was the most interesting character in the episode, with all his self doubt and anger. It was also nice to see more of Vulcan, even if the scope was still somewhat limited. Finally, the xenophobia on Earth is definitely something that wasn't sufficiently elaborated, but a nice idea. Ent: Home is merely a nice idea for an episode incomplete at best. Each plot threat cannibalized the others until none were sufficiently developed. This episode could have easily been a two parter. Or some of the plot threads could have been saved for later episodes. Less time spent on things like Archer dreaming of fighting Xindi reptilians which was totally inappropriate and more time spent on developing the plot threads would have made for a better episode.
The following are comments submitted by my readers.
- From Pete on 2011-01-10 at 10:07pm:
I feel like giving this episode a 10 or something, for the same reason they gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize once he got elected. I am just so relieved to see the Temporal Cold War over and someone good at the helm of the show.
A decent President? PEACE PRIZE!
A decent Trek episode? 10!
- From zook on 2013-09-12 at 3:40pm:
Here's a problem: TOS:Turnabout Intruder had as a major plot point that women were still struggling to get command positions in Starfleet. And here we have a female captain for the second NX-class ship in the Fleet, with absolutely no problem and no big deal. I know it was the '60s in the TOS era, and I understand and applaud their motivations, but for the prequel it would have been nice to see even a little something by way of explanation of this discontinuity.
- From Kethinov on 2013-09-13 at 10:34am:
Zook, that's a fair criticism, but I'm not sure how they could have addressed it on Enterprise. Unlike the Klingon forehead problem, this is a social issue, not a technical one. I always got the impression that the 23rd century when viewed on TNG's perspective or the perspective of later productions was simply meant to be seen as an actual throwback to older culture values.
Or, in other words, in Captian Kirk's generation, the Federation somehow experienced cultural regressions in women's rights... not to mention fashion. ;)
That's a weak rationalization, but it's not impossible. And it's also all we've got. It would have been nice if there was an episode somewhere that went into this in more detail, but I think the place to explore that would have been in 24th century Trek, not 22nd century Trek. Indeed, it's a pretty big missed opportunity to account for apparent anachronisms in-universe.
- From Deggsy on 2013-10-01 at 3:56pm:
Given the comment from Zook about Turnabout Intruder and female starship captains, there's a couple of factors to consider:
1. The restriction, if there was any, might have just applied to the 12 ships of the Constitution-class starships like Enterprise NCC-1701.
2. The one talking about women not having command positions, Janice Lester, was off her box, who in 2013 might have gone all bunny boiler over not being selected as an X-Factor finalist.
- From Zorak on 2016-10-15 at 1:37am:
It appears I'm alone on my opinion of this episode. Personally, I despised almost everything about it. The cheesy sudden romance of Archer, the over the top and pointless xenophobia induced bar fight.. the Trip and T'pol thing was completely uncalled for as well.. I just don't understand what the point of this episode was.
I can only assume that the point, like the Nazi 2 parter, was to wipe away the established norms of the first 3 seasons and begin with a clean slate. To cancel out the Trip and T'pol relationship, to cancel out Archers moral ambiguity and give him a fresh start, and to give the other characters something to do while they're just faffing about, namely getting all superior and indignant about the easiest and most clichéd injustice there is.. a reminder that our heros are always 100% the good guys and everyone else are a bunch of racist evil bad guys.
- From President Obummer on 2020-01-29 at 1:52pm:
So Archer regrets marooning that ship with its innocent crew...well how about going back for them or least sending someone to bring them back the stuff they stole? nope sorry

The "Takedown" Series is Born
The Main focus with Ozcut Broadheads has primarily been on producing high quality Broadheads with no corners cut, quality is a must. This however does sometimes put the budget conscious bowhunter too far out of pocket to justify the purchase costs of such high quality broadheads.
With this taken into consideration, we have attempted to jam pack as many of the features we know and trust in the Elite Series and put them in a Broadhead, on a "budget". The Takedown Series represents the ultimate in affordability and functionality, in a broadhead that actually works, something that many Bowhunters will benefit from.
We look forward to seeing the rise in popularity of the Takedown series amongst the budget conscious bowhunter, bridging the gap between reliability and affordability!

Staff at Macduff Marine Aquarium are celebrating the first birthday of their baby seahorse, born at the aquarium in June 2018.
Spiny seahorses are notoriously difficult to breed in captivity and have an extremely low survival rate. In the wild, only one in 1000 spiny seahorses is thought to make it to adulthood.
Last year, the spiny seahorse male at the aquarium gave birth several times, but only one plucky youngster has managed to make it to its first birthday.
Having no experience of breeding native seahorses, when the aquarium staff first realised the male was 'pregnant' last year, they put a call out to colleagues in the industry for advice - and the answer came back... 'good luck with that!'
Seahorses have no stomach so have to eat almost constantly to gain the nutrition they need. When the babies are born, they are only a few millimeters long and very vulnerable. The aquarium team had to cultivate live brine shrimp and feed the seahorse babies newly hatched shrimps every two hours. This regime was continued for 6 months when 4 babies were thought to be big enough to join their parents in the aquarium display. Although apparently in good health on display and eating well, three of the babies sadly didn't make it much longer, but the one remaining baby is happily swimming about and enjoying the attention and extra birthday rations!
The spiny seahorses will soon be joined by some new short-snouted seahorses that have recently been purchased to add to the aquarium's native seahorse display, thanks to a donation from the Friends of Macduff Marine Aquarium.

No word on whether or not the Tank Girl piece that I completed last week was accepted, but I found out that the deadline was extended, which tends to mean that they didn't receive a large amount of submissions yet. Sigh. Well, I'll keep you posted.
I also got an request from somebody through deviantArt asking me to submit a piece I created of Krampus for a book about the same. Which sounds super, but as is too common these days, the "payment" is in copies of the book in question. I did question the lack of compensation, the reply was like "it is unfortunate that there is no monetary compensation, but there is exposure." Ah yes, the eternal "exposure" carrot dangled over artists. I've rarely had promised exposure lead to other interest or work. But, sigh, I'm leaning toward it, mainly because I'm not really getting much attention otherwise, so I should be happy that it's happening at all. Just tired of not getting my due.
Need to get back on the website redesign path. Part of the struggle is making one that would hopefully get some of the attention that I need to move forward as an artist.

With presbyopia, the lens situated within the eye loses its ability to shift focus. This case is usually prevalent and noticeable in early 40s and becomes permanent through a person's existence. Chiefly fixed by utilizing studying glasses, bifocals, or multifocal specs or contacts.
Regular laser eye treatment methods are also another procedure to fix your eyes for obvious cut distance vision. When presbyopia happens, however, the near sight becomes blurred, which makes it essential to utilization studying glasses. To rectify this case with surgery, you ought to have to consider presbylasik or multifocal lasik.
With presbylasik, the way of laser eye treatment involves using multiple forces around the front top of the eye. Presbylasik enables the mind to see concurrently within the distance, intermediate, or more close, since it decides to focus on just one image.
The therapy can be carried out diversely.
For instance, a middle-near method of presbylasik means correcting the central area of the sight to create studying clearer and simpler. Intermediate vision and well-defined distance vision will be adjusted towards the surrounding section and also the ring within the periphery, correspondingly The same technique is utilized in advanced multifocal contacts. Those who are afflicted by presbyopia frequently complain of near vision problems that is frequently solved by locating the middle of the vision for close to make studying more well-defined when compared with a distance-center method.
A middle-distance way, however, is really a laser eye treatment that produces a obvious central zone for distance sight as the area is treated for intermediate sight and also the periphery for near sight. For individuals who favor distance vision, this is actually the prevalent technique used by many laser eye specialists. Driving, playing sports like golf, and watching movies a few of the typical activities that may make money from a distance-center approach.
Additionally, the visual skill after undergoing laser eye strategy to presbyopia is incomparable. Not every people require eyeglasses for daily tasks like driving or shopping. Even without glasses, studying the paper is achievable. Glasses are essential, however, for activities that necessitate intricate detail, for example needlework, to get comfortable sight.
Laser eye treatment negative effects will also be regular occurrences with presbylasik. A few of these negative effects include dry eyes and night-time glare and haloes throughout the first six several weeks. Getting dry eyes is remedied with eye drops as the glares get observably less with time.

Make some room, fellow old people, the kids are coming over. Not your kids and not mine, but a whole generation trying to find relief from sky high rents and insane home prices. And, oh yeah, they also like to go camping.
Two trends are converging to make young people more mobile: The cost of housing and the advance of connected technology. Finances are the principle driver for most and RV living is a convenient middle ground between a house and living in your car or van. Vandwellers are increasingly getting swept up as cities rush to criminalize homelessness, which shifts the market toward campground living.
RV Manufacturers Paying Attention
They may be young but RV manufacturers know their money is good and they're making campers to suit the tastes of a new generation. Campers for younger people are smaller, lighter, and fitted with amenities like better wifi antennas and smart TVs that can directly stream online content. The interiors and color schemes are meant to appeal to younger people.
While most of us might not be comfortable in an 8×10 camper, more people are making that choice. For younger couples, used to spending nearly forty percent of their combined income on a house payment, the sacrifice in space is entirely worth it.
Even smaller than teardrop campers, some individuals and couples are going even smaller in converted vans and SUVs. The van option is a better choice if you're living in an urban area and stealth is your primary motivation. Cities are increasingly cracking down the practice but it's not always clear why. It appears vandwellers are sometimes caught up in municipalities rushing to criminalize homelessness. Campers don't have that problem but that leaves them farther from town.

As a younger generation flees to campgrounds and rural farm areas to escape the high cost of city living, that has pushed a demand for mobile careers. Computer programming, database management, app development are good choices for mobile careers, but many are also trying their hand at sideline businesses to help ends meet. When you don't have a massive house payment you can scratch out a living however you can.
Modular Systems
The most popular camper models are not only small but modular. Some can be converted to carrying cargo to help with moving. One model with built-in solar power even has a removable tongue that allows the unit to fit into a standard 10×10 flea market space. Modular systems mean more function for the dollar but, as with any compromise, some multi-function units do many things well but not anything spectacularly well.
A New Lifestyle Reality
RV sales are banging; up another 15% from last year's record sales. The young are joining an older generation competing for campground spaces and that's not all bad. My hope is it spurs more campground development. I also hope it spurs more development of alternative housing options that have a mobile component for RVs, campers and vans. Vandwellers need a safe place to park at night, with bathrooms and showers, that doesn't cost a lot of money.

It was always going to be a political decision – first the government decided which proposals to include in the major reform package Altersvorsorge 2020 (AV2020), and now it remains to be seen which will make it into the draft bill due to be presented to parliament by the year end. The Swiss pension industry is anxiously awaiting the outcome of the political debates over the next months.
In the 2011 elections, the centre-right Swiss people's party (SVP) became the strongest party in the lower house of parliament with slight losses but still holding one-third of the seats. However, it has only one representative in the seven-member government. The second strongest party, the Social Democrats (SP), has two ministers and 20% of the seats in parliament.
The SVP is one of the harshest critics of the major pension reform AV2020, which encompasses the first and second pillars. The party, like the Swiss employer's association, criticises the package as a "cluttered mega-reform" and particularly dismisses the proposal to increase sales tax to shore up the finances of the AHV/AVS, the first-pillar fund. The party is positioning itself against its natural allies, the employer associations, which have signalled a willingness to accept an increase of the sales tax.
At a glance
• The Altersvorsorge 2020 reform package will become draft legislation by the end of 2014.
• Experts and politicians are still at loggerheads over the conversion rate, minimum interest rate and VAT.
• Pensions are set to remain a political issue.
According to statistics published by the Swiss interior ministry, there are major projected outflows from the AHV/AVS between 2020 and 2030, when a large proportion of Swiss people is forecast to retire.
The calculations show that the fund will need CHF2-9bn (€1.6-7.4bn) in additional funding, which equals a sales tax increase of 50-250bps, a rise in salary contributions to the first pillar by up to 200 basis points or an increase of the statutory retirement age by 3.2 years. Not all of these suggestions made it into the AV2020 reform package – any increase of the retirement age was limited to raising that of women at 64 to equal that of men at 65.
This is one of the two points of the reform the centre-left SP is criticising. It says it will only accept an increase of the retirement age for women once economic and earning parity is achieved. The SVP, on the other hand, fully supports further increases to the retirement age of both genders.
A further point that has been criticised by the SP – but fully accepted by the SVP – is the cut in the conversion rate, which is the subject of the most heated debates in the pension industry. The so-called Mindestumwandlungssatz is used to calculate pension payouts from accrued assets. If the Swiss actuarial society gets its way, the rate might fall below the 6% mark which – as many experts agree – would be the correct rate given the low interest rate environment. But many believe such a major cut is not politically possible (see panel).
For the pension industry the devil might also prove to be in the detail of the reform and several experts already are at loggerheads over figures and potential phrasing.
In its statement on AV2020, the Swiss actuarial society (SVA) warns that the compensatory measures suggested to soften the blow of the cut in the conversion rate will "lead to massive increases in benefits" for some people and generate "considerably higher costs".
According to the reform plans, the rate at which salaries are discounted to calculate contributions into the second pillar is to be slashed. The Koordinationsabzug is used to co-ordinate expected payments from the first pillar and those from the second pillar needed to earn 60% of final salary before retirement. For several years, there have been debates on whether a higher compensation rate might be fairer for low earners.
However, according to calculations by the SVA, slashing the Koordinationsabzug will increase costs in the second pillar by up to 50%.
The Swiss pension fund association ASIP, welcomes this reform proposal as a necessary improvement for people with lower incomes. To simplify calculations, the association suggests doing away with the Koordinationsabzug altogether and instead capping payouts from the second pillar to a certain maximum.
ASIP also challenges planned changes to the method in which the second pillar minimum interest is calculated. Currently, the minimum rate is set at the end of a year for the next based on bond yields. The government wants to change this to an ex-post calculation based on actual returns in pension fund portfolios for the year in which the minimum rate is be achieved.
However, ASIP argues that this change does not add value for pension funds and their members and that Pensionskassen need to know the rules of the game in advance.
Insurers are against a proposal to raise the share of profit from occupational pensions business that they have to return to customers, which is set to be raised from 90% to 92%, or even 94%. Urs Berger, president of the Swiss insurers association SVV, warned in a recent interview that this would make little sense as it would result in a higher guarantee promise, which in turn would "force insurers into a much more defensive investment strategy with lower returns".
The beef over 40 basis points
The minimum conversion rate, Mindestumwandlungssatz in German, is the interest rate used to calculate pension payouts from accrued assets. This rather technical element of pensions policy has been the subject of the most heated debates in Swiss pensions over the past years and reached an unheard of level of public attention when a referendum took place in spring 2010 to cut it from 6.8% to 6.4%. The proposal was rejected but now both government and pension experts are trying to push ahead with an even more ambitious agenda to cut it. If this fails, some Pensionskassen might have to transfer assets from active members to retirees, given that accrued benefits remain untouchable under Swiss law.
Although the Swiss pension fund association ASIP agrees with the government's plan to lower the conversion rate to 6%, Swiss actuaries consider this still too high. The Swiss actuarial society SAV noted in a press release that a rate of 5.6% would be more justifiable.
It cites the largest Swiss pension fund, Publica, which will be lowering its conversion rate to 5.65% from 2015, a move similar to that of other pension funds managing above mandatory contributions. These funds can chose a rate below the legal minimum as long as they can guarantee this rate for the mandatory contributions they manage. Smaller pension funds into which employers are only paying the mandatory minimum do not have that option.
On average, the conversion rate in Swiss Pensionskassen stands at around 6.5%, which is below the legal minimum of 6.8%, which became effective at the beginning of this year. But the rate continues to fall, along with technical parameters like the discount rate (technischer Zins), which according to calculations by the Swiss consultancy PPC Metrics stood at around 3.2% on average in 2012. The lowest in the sample was already well below 2.5% while, in 2010, the absolute lowest was 2%.
The government has now commissioned a study into effects and losses for pensioners from a cut in the conversion rate. The final report on the findings is to be published by the end of November.
Other reform proposals have been left out of the AV2020, such as the introduction of life-cycle schemes or 1e-plans as they are known in Switzerland, after the legal paragraph in the law on investments of Pensionskassen that mentions this choice of risk profile. Jürg Stahl, a deputy in the lower house of parliament, put forward a motion to simplify the creation of these plans five years ago, yet the government only recently decided to draft a bill.
"The Stahl motion is only progressing at a snail's pace at the moment and it can only have been a political decision not to include it in the Altersvorsorge 2020, notes Jérôme Cosandey of the think tank Avenir Suisse. He adds that the government might oppose granting people greater choice while at the same time transferring some of the risks. But as long as the motion is not voted through, most providers will not offer such products given that the risk of a bear market is still borne by the pension funds and buffers in the schemes must be increased significantly.
So the future of the Swiss second pillar will be shaped in political debates but there are several voices from the pensions industry calling for a de-politisation of certain topics regarding occupational pensions. They would like to see the decision on the conversion and the minimum interest rate to be taken out of the political arena. This might happen with the conservative SVP in power since it supports these steps and would even cut the AHV/AVS's dependence on federal contributions, leaving it to be financed by wage-related income only. The next elections for the Bundesrat as well as the parliament in Switzerland are scheduled for 2015.

Analog and Pseudo-Analog in Papilio
rohare posted a topic in Papilio General DiscussionHello. I'm trying to solve a problem and I'm wondering if this is the solution. I need voltage comparators. Lots of them. I've gotten to the point where dual and quad comparator IC's would take up multiple desks if I built out the designs I'm experimenting with. I've been trying to keep it 100% analog, but space has become too much of a problem. What I need to know is, can I simulate the action of a single voltage comparator, both input and output? I know that LVDS reciever blocks can act much like a comparator, but I'm sketchy on the details. Can I have an LVDS reciever block with one input (inverting or non-inverting) tied to a voltage rail or ground and the other input attached to either an external pin or the output of another LVDS reciever block? And then, can the resulting output be sent to another LVDS reciever or to another external pin? Or is there a DAC block that would be more appropriate for this? What I'm trying to accomplish are some pretty complex voltage sensing and signaling circuits. One of three different voltages should be produced based on different voltages sensed. This therefore requires that the LVDS blocks should also be able to output different voltages base on how they're "wired". Most comparator IC's have open-collector outputs so you can wire them to have any voltage output. Can I set an LVDS block to output the voltage of one rail, but set a different LVDS block to output a different voltage? In other words, am I confined to only two voltage values, "on" and "off"? I need three, even if one of them is ground. Thanks much for your help.

Book clubs, cooking clubs, bunco, bridge…what is the unifying theme to most women's gatherings? Wine! If you can add in the opportunity to do lots of talking, while sipping wine, in beautiful surroundings—even better. So when a group of girlfriends and I decided to look for a getaway destination, Napa Valley was an ideal choice.
We needed to coordinate travel plans from the Midwest and the West Coast. Flights into Sacramento would have brought us closer to Napa, but we found that flying into San Francisco had better prices and better timing—although the congestion in and out of the city would make me re-think Sacramento on my next visit. The first half of the four-hour drive was spent weaving through lanes of traffic, until the rolling green hills beckoned us away from the urban chaos.
September and October are the months to see Napa Valley in high gear, as the juicy clusters of grapey goodness are harvested from the fields. This year, cool temperatures at the start of summer may have delayed the harvest by a few weeks—which gives travelers an even bigger timeframe to get in on the festivities of the fall crush.
When I first heard about the fall crush, I half expected to get barefoot and stomp around in a vat of purple mash, just like the old I Love Lucy episode. I'd love the experience, but cringe at the thought of drinking wine that once squished through someone's toes! These days the fall crush is more of a celebration—the hard work of the spring and summer has paid off, the grapes are in off the vines, and the transformation into wine will soon begin!
We spent a day biking vineyard to vineyard along the Silverado Trail, starting with renting bikes in Yountville through the Napa Valley Wine Tours. We stocked up on picnic supplies—olives, flatbread crackers, cheeses—at the Oakville Grocery market, and thus fortified, we set out. By day's end we'd visited half a dozen vineyards and covered over twenty miles! If I were to do it again (and I would love the chance!) I'd do a guided tour, led by a local biker who knew how to avoid the traffic—the roads we chose did not have wide shoulders, and we did worry about drivers who may have sampled too many.
Over coffee the following morning, the four of us were stretching our aching legs and wishing we'd thought to make massage appointments. We spied the lovely Villagio Spa, just down the street from the coffeeshop, and—our guardian angels of wine and pampering were looking out for us—we found they'd just had several cancellations, and could fit us all in for massages. If you ever have the chance to be spoiled rotten by the Villagio Spa, don't pass it up! Better yet, plan ahead and make a reservation!
Tastings and opportunities to learn more about wine are everywhere, and cater to everyone from wine and cheese pairings for the casual wine drinker to the serious oenophile. It's not just the grapes coming in from the fields at this time of year—the farmer markets overflow with bounty, and if your group can cook at all, you will love gathering the ingredients for a fall feast back at the vacation rental, where everyone can mingle freely instead of staying seated in a restaurant. That way, the conversation and laughter goes on until the wee hours…and isn't that what the girlfriends' getaway is all about?

Every winter, snow forecasters try to predict what the winter will bring. They form educated guesses about specific areas and the long term forecast. The talk for the Coastal BC Range in Canada was that El Nino would bring another warm winter, leaving skiers to constantly check freeze and rainfall levels in the valley. Some decided to not risk another poor winter and headed north or to the interior mountain ranges. Others waited, crossing their fingers waiting for winter to hit.
Max Moffat and I piled into the truck and started the drive from Calgary, Alberta to Whistler, BC. Our goal was to to spend the week shooting in Whistler with Liberty Skis Athlete Joe Schuster. As we arrived in Vancouver, we were greeted with a heavy rainfall warning. Still optimistic, we continued past Vancouver to Whistler. As we pulled into town, the sky was filled with large, light snowflakes.
The storm cycle from the previous evening had left 15 inches of fresh and dry snow. Whistler and the Coastal Mountains are not known for super dry snow, but rather large dumps of heavier snow, so we were stoked. As the morning sun broke through the windows, we quickly packed up the truck and headed to the base of Blackcomb. The lift line was filled with smiles and high fives. Whistler, like many great ski destinations, is not the resort where your friends are willing to wait if the conditions are good. There is a certain feeling on a resort powder day. You feel as if others would do anything to get the good snow before you. The competitive, aggressive atmosphere makes the ski hill feel similar to a battle field, but we just concentrated on all the fresh snow waiting for us.
Max Moffatt was the rookie on the trip. Being brought up on the East Coast, he had very little opportunity to ski pow. Don't let this Canadian National Team park skier fool you though, he can ski, and is not afraid of going fast or big. He smashed pillows, dropped cliffs and skied lines without hesitation. He was able to keep up with local legends that had spent their whole lives skiing Whistler.
The storm just never seemed to stop. After four days of deep powder skiing, we had to head home. Sharing stories of tomahawks and face shots, we left Whistler in the rear view mirror.

Antibiotic side effects in children: What parents need to know
Published Friday, November 9, 2018 2:40PM PST Last Updated Friday, November 9, 2018 7:20PM PST
Antibiotics are life-saving medicine, but thousands of children end up in emergency rooms each year because of the side effects of taking them.
While antibiotics are generally considered safe, there are things parents should know about reactions to antibiotics and when to get your child to the ER.
"Most reactions to antibiotics are minor; that's something like a rash. But kids can actually have very serious reactions also like anaphylactic shock that's a life-threatening allergic reaction that usually is associated with peanuts or bee stings," said Lauren Friedman, Consumer Reports health editor.
A CDC study found that up to 81 per cent of visits kids made to the ER due to antibiotic reactions were for mild allergic events like rashes.
However, you should take your child to the hospital immediately if severe symptoms arise.
"Children two and under are the most likely to end up in the ER with an adverse reaction. And if you see anything like trouble breathing or a weak pulse, seizure, a loss of consciousness or even severe hives, you want to take them to the ER right away," advised Friedman.
Even with possible side effects, antibiotics are generally considered safe. When used properly, these life-saving drugs far outweigh the risks.

L'Hostalet is a restaurant located in Vall d'en Bas that receives its name in honour of de past days of this establishment, which was already an inn hundreds of years ago.
Nowadays it continues to have the same family and warm ambiance, as well as the essence of a rural inn (given by the archways and pillars of the main dining room).
This restaurant specialises in Catalan cuisine presenting dishes modern and traditional as well and it is part of the group Cuina Volcànica (volcanic cuisine) whose members cook mainly with ingredients from the area.
During the week they have a menu of the day, but they also have group menus, prepared for parties of more than 10 people, and special and thematic menus, such as the one designed with the dishes that the restaurant has been preparing year after year for the gastronomic.
The restaurant is open from 13:00 to 16:00 from Wednesday to Monday and it also opens from 20:45 to 23:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. It is also open on August.

The driver involved in a deadly hit-and-run crash in Redondo Beach earlier this week turned himself in as police identified the woman killed in the crash, which also left a man with internal injuries and a fractured skull, police said Thursday.
Nathan Greenberg, 28, of Redondo Beach turned himself in to authorities on Wednesday. His first court appearance is scheduled for Dec. 5.
Meanwhile, police identified Iryna Miller as the woman who was walking down Artesia Boulevard, near Green Avenue, when she was fatally struck around 2 a.m. on Monday. A man was also struck by the vehicle as he was walking down the street, leaving him with internal injuries and several fractures — including a fractured skull, according to police.
He is currently in stable condition in a nearby hospital, police said.
Miller and the man were crossing from the north sidewalk of Artesia and into the boulevard's westbound lanes when they were hit by a single vehicle, authorities said. The driver, now believed to be Greenberg, did not stop and instead continued to drive westbound down Artesia, police said.
No other details are being released by police as the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone who may have witnessed the crash is urged to contact Investigator Clint Daniel at 310-379-2477 ext. 2721 or by email at email@example.com.

When I say "Porsche" what comes to mind? Athletic, dynamic, sporty cars that have been the most impressive sports cars on the planet for many years; at least that is what I think of when someone says Porsche to me. While there are now two Porsche SUVs it's still the sports cars that are put out every years that make Porsche one of the most impressive brands on the market. There have been Porsche models that are more affordable to allow more customers to enjoy them and then there have been some that were so exclusive you had to win the lottery to even think of buying them.
With this broad spectrum of prices one of the continuous Porsche staples has always been the fact that Porsche is a sports car brand. The sportiness is even present in the SUVs that have enjoyed some great success over the years. One thing Porsche hasn't done during its time is steer away from what has made it successful by entering the mainstream market with the rest of the sedans, wagons and hatchbacks that prowl our streets every day. While that may be the case so far, things just might be about to change.
Spy photos, which I have decided only take place when the automaker wants to have information unleashed unofficially, show us a new Panamera station wagon being tested. This should actually not come as a surprise to you at all; there was a concept version that made it to the platform in Paris for the 2012 Motor Show. This concept model was the Panamera Sport Turismo Concept which gave us the idea that there might be a station wagon put forth by Porsche at some point. It appears that time has come and the possibility is about to be a reality.
Because the Panamera is receiving a complete redesign for the 2017 model year this is the perfect time for Porsche to make this a reality. The expectation is that the car will lose about 200 pounds overall and use turbocharged V6 and V8 engines to give us the power we want. There may even be a plug-in hybrid model and a diesel engine for the Panamera, to give us a full power lineup. Along with the wagon, the Panamera is expected to have a coupe and a cabriolet model to give us a full range of models to choose from.
Does this mean the end for the Porsche that we have known for so many decades? It's possible. When asked what they think of when the name Porsche comes up our grandchildren may think of a typical automaker that offers a full line of vehicles for daily driving with a few sports cars thrown in the mix. Do I hope this is the direction Porsche heads; not completely, but it would be really cool if there was an affordable sedan, or wagon from Porsche that let you have the driving experience of their sports cars in a build that makes more sense for a family.

Effects of work-related sleep restriction on acute physiological and psychological stress responses and their interactions: A review among emergency service personnel

Emergency work can expose personnel to sleep restriction. Inadequate amounts of sleep can negatively affect physiological and psychological stress responses. This review critiqued the emergency service literature (e.g., firefighting, police/law enforcement, defense forces, ambulance/paramedic personnel) that has investigated the effect of sleep restriction on hormonal, inflammatory and psychological responses. Furthermore, it investigated if a psycho-physiological approach can help contextualize the significance of such responses to assist emergency service agencies monitor the health of their personnel. The available literature suggests that sleep restriction across multiple work days can disrupt cytokine and cortisol levels, deteriorate mood and elicit simultaneous physiological and psychological responses. However, research concerning the interaction between such responses is limited and inconclusive. Therefore, it is unknown if a psycho-physiological relationship exists and as a result, it is currently not feasible for agencies to monitor sleep restriction related stress based on psycho- physiological interactions. Sleep restriction does however, appear to be a major stressor contributing to physiological and psychological responses and thus, warrants further investigation.

Prayer series #13: Deliver Us From Evil
We've come now to the final request, "deliver us from evil". Have you noticed that in all these request the plural pronoun us is used? Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6:18 to pray for one another as well as for our own needs. We ought to continually be aware of the physical and spiritual needs of others and uphold them in prayer. Certainly we as husbands need to carry the burdens of our wives on our hearts and we as parents need to carry the burdens of our children on our hearts and we as pastors need to carry the burdens of our congregations on our hearts as the Old Testament High Priest carried the names of the twelve tribes of Israel in the ephod over his heart.
From what evils are we to ask deliverance?
Satan is the chief enemy of every Christian. Before we were saved we were not even aware of his danger. He ignored us for we lived in bondage to him and we thought we were living in freedom. The moment we put our trust in Christ and became His, we were immediately confronted by Satan. Satan hates us because we belong to Christ and he hates Christ. In Ephesians 6 we learn of the need of wearing our spiritual armour in order to face the attacks of Satan. That armour is basically the Word of God and our personal relationship with Christ.
Sin itself is an evil from which we need deliverance. Paul, as a Christian, writes in Romans 7 of his ongoing struggle with sin. The Christian who thinks he has had an experience with the Holy Spirit that has freed him from the power of sin for the rest of his life is very misguided and is deceiving himself. It's a very dangerous position to hold for the Bible warns, "Let him that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall."
When a person is saved, he receives a new nature, but he still has his sinful flesh nature. The flesh nature does not refer to his physical body. There is nothing sinful about our physical bodies. They are "fearfully and wonderfully made." Psalm 139:14 Yes, we all bear the marks of the curse of sin with our aches and pains and impending physical deaths. Because we have fallen in Adam, we all have a sinful nature, saved and unsaved alike. When we are saved through faith in Christ, we do not lose that sinful nature just as we do not lose our sin-cursed bodies; but we are given a new nature through the indwelling Holy Spirit. He gives us a desire to do right and to please God. As for our sin-cursed bodies, they will be changed and glorified at Christ's return.
These two natures are opposed to one another and therefore, we find ourselves in a constant struggle between the desire to do wrong and the desire to do right. In Romans 7:25 Paul concludes the description of his struggle by explaining how we can have victory over sin. We learn that whenever our minds are under the control of the Holy Spirit, we have victory. Whenever we give in to the desires of our flesh nature, we are defeated. The life of victory begins when we surrender to the control of the Holy Spirit. As long as we stay surrendered to Him and feed on God's Word, we have victory. Whenever we allow the flesh nature to control, we are defeated. The decision is ours. Psalm 119:9-11 teaches us that the more time we spend reading and hearing and meditating on God's Word, the stronger we become to resist temptation.
This present world system
The world of God's creation is wonderful, though even it has been damaged by the curse of sin. One day when Christ returns, this whole world will be restored to Edenic perfection.
The world system, led by sinful, fallen man; is corrupt. The world system includes everything contaminated by sin: the entertainment industry, the news media, the public educational system, the anti-Christ religious system, the political system and anything else controlled by sinful men. The whole world system lies under the control of Satan. I John 5:19 So we pray in the Lord's Prayer to be delivered from evil.
In the meantime
Although Christians have been delivered from Satan's Kingdom of Darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of Christ; God still allows Satan to wield his oppressive power to molest and harass us, as he did in Job's case.
We are not immune to Satanic persecution. John 15:18-21 John 16:33 Persecution for Christ brings blessing to the Christian. Matthew 5:10-12
We are not immune to lustful images every day. It is impossible to escape them; not just lustful images, but inordinate desires. Colossians 3:5-8.
God does not deliver us from this sinful world system until we die. But John 17:15 encourages us by letting us know that Christ is praying for us that we be delivered from the evil of the system.
Temptation is a necessary part of our sanctification. However, don't seek out temptation by going to an X or R rated movie and praying that you will be delivered. Don't seek it out by going to a casino and praying that God will deliver you from gambling. That is as dumb as a dare-devil driver trying to prove what a good driver he is by driving as close as possible to the edge of a cliff without going over.
Practically, how can we be delivered from evil?
Let us not mock God by praying this prayer and trifling with sin.
Let us be watchful. "Watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation."
Let us submit ourselves to God. Then we can resist the devil and he will flee from us. James 4:7
The more our character and conduct are controlled by the Word of God, the more we will overcome evil with good.
Let us set our affection on things above and not on the things of this earth.
Colossians 3:2
Then we can pray sincerely, "Deliver us from evil."

'Politically Motivated' Anti-Ahmadiyah Sentiment Growing in West Java
Ulma Haryanto & Nurfika Osman | August 10, 2010
Garut, West Java. Iin, a resident of Cikedu village in Garut, West Java, said on Monday that she vividly recalled the third and last time she was harassed by officers from the local Indonesian Council of Ulema (MUI).
Iin told the Jakarta Globe on Saturday that she was forced by MUI officers, who were also accompanied by local residents, to sign a statement and recite the Syahadat, the Muslim declaration of belief in one God and in the Prophet Muhammad, or "face the consequences."
That would have been fine for Iin had the 51-year-old not been a member of the Ahmadiyah Muslim community, which has been the target of a recent wave of attacks and discrimination in predominantly Sunni Indonesia.
"I was confused. If I agreed to sign, then I would be defying my own faith. If I refused, then I would be a constant target of the people's wrath," Iin said.
The Ahmadiyahs in her village reported the case to local police. But that did little good.
"They told me that my village was just too far away. But it's just a kilometer away from the administration ward."
Cecep Ahmad Santoso, chief of the Ahmadiyah congregation in Garut, said that this type of persecution was all to common an occurrence in the area.
A 2008 joint decree issued by the Religious Affairs Ministry, the Home Affairs Ministry and the Attorney General's Office is often used as the very basis for the persecution, Cecep said.
The decree states that Ahmadiyah followers should desist from conducting acts that "violate Islamic principles."
This follows an effort by local government administrations and the MUI to have the Ahmadiyah sect officially banned.
But the statements made by Iin and Cecep, coming just days following an attack on Ahmadiyah sect members in Kuningan, West Java, show that the rhetoric and finger-pointing is becoming increasingly heated.
Ichwan Sam, the secretary general of the MUI, said that when it came to the Ahmadiyah, the stance of the MUI was clear.
"Ahmadiyah is not Islam. The Ahmadiyah are haram [forbidden] as they deviate from the original Islamic values and teachings. They have their own Koran, which is not acceptable, and they also think that Prophet Muhammad is not the last messenger," Ichwan said.
A report released on Monday by the Setara Institute for Peace and Democracy highlighted a worrying and rising trend of persecution and discrimination against Ahmadiyah followers, particularly in the West Java districts of Tasikmalaya, Bogor, Garut and Kuningan.
"We concluded that all incidents had telling political motives. During elections, candidates for district head announces publicly that they would disband the Ahmadiyah if they were elected," said Institute researcher Ismail Hasani, who has been monitoring Ahmadiyah affairs for the institute since 2007.
"This year alone, 19 acts [of persecution] have occurred against the Ahmadiyah sect. Last year there were 33," Ismail said.

General Mills, the U.S.-based maker of multi-colored kids' cereal Trix, said it will bring back the original, artificially-colored version after customers complained.
"Classic Trix," which is colored artificially, will sit on store shelves alongside the new, natural-flavor version, the company said.
General Mills introduced the natural-flavor version last year, replacing artificial colors and flavors with coloring made from radishes, purple carrots and turmeric.
But customers have complained, with one reportedly calling the new product "basically a salad," the Wall Street Journal reported on Thursday. Another said she liked the way the artificial colors and high-fructose corn syrup look and taste, the report said.
A General Mills spokesperson told CNBC that the new product will remain on the shelves as it "has its own fan base."

Article 1
I've expressed all I can about magick. I wish there was a more poetic, beautiful, or at least pithy way for me to have done so. I don't think the text I've produced on the matter has ever "sung" the way it ought to.
To say again, anything that you want to do, and then do is magick. Boom. Magick produces objective results, or else its nothing. Kabam. If you don't know what objective means, and can't describe an objective event, then you are a long way from controlling the force that is magick. How many more words are there for it? LaVey and others have gone into lengthy detail about some of the finer philosophical points of following such a path, explored the cultural contexts, and pointed out the poseurs. I needn't bother with rehashing their work.
We should make an effort to make the occult occult again. That is, hide it from everyone so as to increase our power, because knowledge is power. Let everyone else wallow in their blissful slavery, clutching their chains as though they were a toddlers blanket. We psychonauts of the left hand path reap the benefits of freedom. Freedom isn't for everyone. That's why I'm not a missionary. I don't want more people being into this thing. Magick is meritocratic, not democratic; it is part of nature, and nature don't give no fucks. I like being a freak, a weirdo, a closet psychopath. It gives me an edge. I always hold the power to take an interaction to a place others would never dream of (read: talking about Moche human sacrifices or Richard Ramirez), but like Sun Tzu said, the unexpected and the unorthodox gives the general the advantage in battle. Or something like that anyhow.
I wanted to find the most basic principles real magick and move forward from there. The problem is, I fear that I have found such principles, and unfortunately they aren't all that exciting. I've summoned no entities from the shadow realm, recieved no psychic messages, never did jello shots with sasquatch. I have gotten a job, gotten a raise, gotten laid, ended a parasitic infection, resolved a real estate crisis, and a few other interesting things that are harder to quantify (the objective quality here is my sense of satisfaction, which isn't that objective, but the fact that I'm telling you gentle readers about it makes it objective in a way). I have to wonder, would all of these things have happened anyway? And even if they had happened, perhaps it still would have been magick, it still would have been my will manifesting in the universe. Answers are hard to come by, and questions lead me down labyrinthine garden paths.
To do this Satanic thing you have to be a skeptic. Always look to the answers that require the fewest new assumptions. Evaluate your beliefs on the basis of available evidence and the solidity of the logic behind them. Make nature yours.
State of the Satanic Union as I See It.
As I am sure anybody who occasionally peruses this sight has noticed, there are a lot of gung ho folks who make a bunch of posts, private message you, and generally sound like they're really keen black wizards. Then they go away after a relatively short time. You can never join their sweet East Los (presumably gay) Satanic Coven. You can't learn their high-mucky-muck-darkest-of-the-black-trve kvlt-shaman secrets. Well what gives keeners? Do something already! Enough talk, show me something legit Satanic, like a fat bank account or a huge pile of cocaine, then we can talk. With that mound of cocaine we'd talk all night, and I might even think you were interesting.
As for the rest of the Satanic Union, I guess the Satanic Temple is doing some fun stuff. I can't find it in my shrivelled heart to give two shits about political activism, but power to them, they are certainly entertaining. I can maybe, maybe, give half a shit, but that's it. I don't know what Peter Gilly and The Church of Satan are up to. I lost interest in that organization when I realized I couldn't afford official membership, and I probably wouldn't get much for it. I view that as a Satanic endeavour, sure, bilking cash from folks with more money than sense, but obviously there's no reason for me to be involved with it. It would be kinda cool to have the membership card though.
Let's not forget this bloodless newsletter I'm attempting to summon from the beyond. It's a zombie I'm trying to raise from the cemetery of a forum discussion on SIN, but I think I uttered the foul incantation wrong. Now my computer reeks like rotting flesh. That it is pretty sweet. So far, it doesn't seem like the project has legs. I mean, its got my legs, last count seventeen, but I'm not sure that's enough to be a valuable contribution to the site. I think it would be good to harness the intellect of all the dark souls in cyberspace towards something a little more directed, have everybody who likes to write focus and commit to contributing some intellectual content on the same day. It would give them enough time to adequately prepare and focus their thoughts, and possibly discover some powerful ideas. That's the fantasy of a would-be writer like myself though, that words can have power, some meaning beyond the enjoyment of writing and reading them.
New Danzig album out on the 26th of this month. I spooge my drawers in anticipation.
What else is going on?
I had planned to do a massive, multi-participant ritual to coincide with the release of this newsletter, but due to my poor correspondence skills, I've not been able to round up the necessary mad cultists. So instead, I shall lay out my ideas regarding the casting of a "geosigil".
As far as I can tell, "geosigils" are a novel idea. At least according to the first page of google. If you can't find something on the first page of google, it doesn't exist, as any clever internet lurker knows. When I searched the term, I got mostly search results relating to geosignals. That makes me happy that not many people have thought of this idea.
The geosigil as I wanted to cast, firstly involves the standard creation of sigil. Then I find people at various points on the world map, and re-draw the sigil so that each participant's city is at one of thirteen axes on the map. Thirteen axes was completely accidental, but I was delighted at the accident. Each participant then creates their own sigil, their own spell. Then all participants send their sigils to the best artist of the group, and that person creates an epic sigil combining all thirteen spells on the day of casting. Finally, on the same day at the same time, across the globe, all thirteen participants cast their sigils. And then we wait to see what becomes of such an approach.
There you have it, preserved for posterity and hopefully reproduction and imitation throughout the eons.

France prop Rabah Slimani and Italy's Michele Rizzo have been handed two-week bans for head-butting each other in Sunday's RBS 6 Nations clash in Paris.
A Six Nations disciplinary committee met at Heathrow in London on Wednesday, where neither player contested their red cards in the closing stages of France's 30-10 victory.
Both Slimani and Rizzo were initially handed four-week punishments, but good previous discipline and mitigation then halved the suspensions.
Rizzo's suspension will run across the course of three weeks to ensure he sits out two matches, leaving him free to play again on March 3 so he will miss Italy's home clash with Scotland on February 22.
Stade Francais prop Slimani's ban starts immediately, ruling him out of club action this weekend, and he can resume action from February 24.
The front-rower will miss France's third-round trip to Cardiff to face Wales on Friday, February 21.
