What is it?
It is a new law soon to be introduced by the Government in order to regulate the fees landlords are able to charge their tenants. It is important to note that the law will also apply to those acting on behalf of Landlords eg letting agents.
Which agreements are affected?
The new law will apply to all assured shorthold tenancies, tenancies of student accommodation and licences to occupy housing in the private rented sector in England.
Why was this change in the law considered necessary?
The Citizens advice bureau estimates that tenants on average are asked to pay £400 by way of fees in connection with their tenancy in addition to their deposit and rent in advance, which leaves many struggling financially. It was felt that a change in the law was necessary in order to regulate which fees can be reasonably passed on to tenants in the interest of fairness.
When does it come in to force?
This depends upon when the tenancy agreement was entered into:
All new tenancies created after 1st June 2019 will have to comply with the new law and landlords will not be able to charge the prohibited fees in relation to these tenancies.
If a tenancy agreement was entered into before 1 June 2019, landlords can continue to charge fees written into that agreement until 31 May 2020.
From 1 June 2020, the law will apply to all applicable tenancies and landlords will not be able to charge their tenants the prohibited fees regardless of what is written into the tenancy agreement.
What fees will al landlord be able to charge when the Act is in force?
The following is a list of fees a landlord will be able to charge a tenant:
1) The rent
2) A refundable tenancy deposit capped at no more than five weeks' rent where the annual rent is less than £50,000, or six weeks' rent where the total annual rent is £50,000 or above
3) A refundable holding deposit (to reserve a property) capped at no more than one week's rent
4) Payments to change the tenancy when requested by the tenant, capped at £50, or reasonable costs incurred if higher
5) Payments associated with early termination of the tenancy, when requested by the tenant
6) Payments in respect of utilities, communication services, TV licence and council tax; and
7) A default fee for late payment of rent and replacement of a lost key/security device, where required under a tenancy agreement
Any fees not on the above list are prohibited and therefore banned under the provisions of the Act.
What are the penalties for failing to comply with the new law?
In the first instance a breach of the new law will be a civil offence with a financial penalty of up to £5,000,
If a further breach is committed within 5 years of the imposition of a financial penalty or a conviction for a previous breach this will be amount to a criminal offence. The penalty for the criminal offence, which is a banning order offence under the Housing and Planning Act 2016, is an unlimited fine.
Where an offence is committed, local authorities can impose a financial penalty of up to £30,000 as an alternative to prosecution.
A breach of the requirement to repay the holding deposit will be offence and will be subject to a financial penalty of up to £5,000.

Rudolph Bell: Holy Anorexia
In Holy Anorexia Rudolph Bell offers a psychoanalytical analysis of the phenomenon of extreme fasting in the vita of Christian holy women. This work is based on the case studies of 170 women recognized as saints, blessed, venerables or servants of God who lived from 1200 to the present in Italy. More than half of them displayed what Bell would classify as anorexia. Bell makes the highly provocative comparison between medieval women fasting, holy anorexia, and the relatively modern phenomenon of anorexia nervosa.[1] Anorexia nervosa is a psychological disorder disproportionally affecting upper class teenage and young adult white women. Its chief symptoms are that the affected person takes an extreme interest in dieting and losing weight. This results in the person abhorring food and refusing to eat. When forced to eat the person will simply regurgitate what they ate. If not treated, the person is likely to starve to death.
While Bell makes use of Freud, who understood anorexia nervosa as a food/sex oral fixation, Bell's understanding of anorexia is based primarily on the work of Hilde Bruch. According to Bruch, anorexia nervosa gives women autonomy and a sense of identity. The act of engaging in anorexic behavior can be seen as a dialectic between the desire for control and the meekness in which the girl was raised. The girl has a desire for control but feels guilty about it. The result is that she acts out her desire for control through the construction of meekness and obedience:
Now she will excel, in an intensely personal contest of her choice, over her feelings and drives. She will be an individual, not a daughter or a pupil. She does not seek to goad her parents into opposing her and resorts to silence, deception, secretiveness, and outright lying to avoid having them enter her contest, her world. Good girl that she is, she goes willingly to the doctor, very calmly explains that nothing is wrong, and dutifully agrees to do just as he says. She refuses rewards for eating heartily and willingly accepts punishments for leaving too much on her plate. In the bathroom she practices sticking her fingers down her throat and regurgitating quietly, so that no one will be disturbed.[2]
Bell wishes to draw certain parallels to female ascetics. He portrays Catherine of Siena as a young virginal anorectic whose behavior eventually killed her. Veronica Giuliani is the recovered anorectic and Angela of Foligno is the anorectic who married and had children:
In both instances [holy anorexia and anorexia nervosa] anorexia begins as the girl fastens onto a highly valued societal goal (bodily health, thinness, self-control in the twentieth century/spiritual health, fasting, and self-denial in medieval Christendom). Her peers, and especially her parents, pursue this goal with only marginal success, more often than not honoring it only in the breach. She, by contrast, emerges from a frightened, insecure, psychic world superficially veiled by her outwardly pleasant disposition to become a champion in the race for (bodily/spiritual) perfection. Her newly won self-esteem and confidence initially receive the approbation of those she depends upon – parents, teachers, counselors – causing her to deepen her self-denial pattern until it takes over as the only source of her sense of self. Anorexia becomes her identity, and ultimately the self-starvation pattern continues beyond her conscious control.[3]
For Bell the moral, in the cases of both medieval holy anorexics and modern suffers of anorexia nervosa, is that ultimately these women are not in control of their lives. The very act of fasting is itself a submission to the demands of the outside world. For modern anorexics that outside world is that of a secular middle class. For medieval women that outside world was the Christian patriarchy of the Church.
One could argue that several of the people that Bell refers to were older than the usual age for anorexics. For example, Angela of Foligno was nearly forty when she began her career as a visionary. Also Bell seems to automatically assume that whenever any of these women died young it was because of anorexia. It was quite common for people, during the Middle Ages, to die young. There were lots of ways for this to happen without the recourse to anorexia. My real problem with Bell is that his work is built on the assumption that it is possible to understand extreme asceticism amongst European women in the later Middle Ages outside of the context of late medieval Catholicism. If these women really were no different than modern day anorexics then the fact that they, or the men who wrote their vitas, chose to formulate their situation within the context of late medieval Catholic theology is of incidental interest at best. In this sense Bell's work is highly ahistorical.
Despite the basic flaws inherent within the very premise of the book, Bell manages to produce a credible work of scholarship. This is a line of scholarship that probably had to be pursued, if for no other reason then so it could be put to rest. I do not believe that anyone could have framed this issue in a better way than how Bell did it.

MORRIS – Cars are in Brian Quinn's blood.
His uncles all work as mechanics, and he and one of his uncles have been restoring a 1956 Oldsmobile Starfire for as long as he can remember.
Quinn, who will graduate May 22 from Minooka Community High School, has channeled that love of auto mechanics into his work at Grundy Area Vocational Center, where he recently was awarded the top honor in his class: a $1,300 set of tools and toolbox donated from Eric Berry, the owner of NAPA of Morris and Channahon.
Quinn plans to further his automotive career at Joliet Junior College, then transfer to Southern Illinois University to study in their automotive program. He also uses his talents at a part-time job at Thomas Nissan in Joliet.
"I've always liked working on cars," Quinn said. "A lot of my family are mechanics and I just have always liked it. I would like to get into the corporate side of it, though."
That's where the studying at SIU will lead him, but first, he must learn the basics. And he has done that with flying colors, GAVC automotive technology teacher Andy Kacena said.
"This award was given based on attendance, maturity, passion for auto mechanics, talent and hard work," he said. "Brian has all of those. He's a great helper and leader in the classroom. If anyone needs help, he's right there to help if they want it."
At the same time, though, he's not one to stick his nose in where it's not wanted.
"Some of the guys want to figure things out themselves," Quinn said. "Even if I see them doing something wrong, unless they ask, I generally let them go. You have to let them figure some things out for themselves."
Quinn said his favorite part of working on cars is the electrical system and making the car perform better. He also is the recipient of a $1,000 Morris Cruise Night scholarship and finished sixth at the state skills competition.
"First, he had to pass a written exam to get to state, then there were 20 hands-on stations, like measuring parts, pulling spark plugs, stuff like that," Kacena said. "So, to pass a written test and finish so high in the skills is very good. It shows that Brian is very well-rounded."

On a show where so many have died, I think the only appropriate thing to do is have all the main characters perish. All the major players of the Starks, Targaryens, Barratheons, Lannisters, Greyjoys, etc. should be killed off.
There is Precedence for This
The series finale of Lost was so memorable, sad, and yet uplifting for one reason: everyone died. We were able to see all cast members, even ones that perished early in the series, meet in the afterlife and have a happy conclusion (no matter how unhappily they died).
The Stark's Afterlife
- Catelyn Tully and Ned Stark will live at Winterfell with Arya, Bran, and Rickon.
- Robb Stark will live with his wife and child in the castle of Walder Frey, who will be a rat living living in a dung heap and feeding on his own offspring for the rest of eternity.
- Jon Snow will settle with Ygritte in a nice cave somewhere, making frequent, passionate love, before he introduces her to his family at Winterfell.
The Targaryen's Afterlife
- Daenerys will reunite with Khal Drogo and her child before meeting the rest of the deceased Targaryens. The couple will have a nice, long romantic holiday in Pentos.
- Visery's, no longer a psychopath, will welcome her at their new home in Westeros and seat her on the Iron Throne.
The Barratheon's Afterlife
- Like Viserys, King Joffrey will no longer be a psychopath. His father, mother, siblings, and he will have a loving relationship. However, Cersei and Robert will amicable divorce as they would both be happier with other people.
- Renly and Stannis will bear hug and realize what fools they have been. Stannis will be made best man at Renly's wedding to Brienne of Tarth.
The Lannister's Afterlife
- Tywin and Tyrion will reconcile in the afterlife. They will have a close relationship, and Tywin will find Tyrion a loving bride who will be true and loving to him for eternity. And if it just so happens to be a whore then so be it…
- Jaime will marry Cersei. What does it matter if they hook up in the afterlife? They can't produce another Joffrey if they're both dead.
The Greyjoy's Afterlife
- Theon, his deceased brothers, his sister, and their parents will reunite in Pyke. The Greyjoy's will rule over the Iron Islands and will live as one big happy family…except for Theon.
- Theon, after reuniting with his family, will say goodbye to them. He will return to Winterfell, and the Stark family will forgive him.
- Then he will go to Robb's new castle, joke about Walder Frey, and the two will embrace as brothers. Theon will agree to stay on at the castle and serve as Robb's second in command.

Hi there Ericka – I'm Gloria's daughter, Lena. I was just browsing my bookmarked websites and clicked on yours. I have visited a few times. Anyway – saw your pic about the PJ's this morning, (a familiar quandry here as well). My oldest, Kyle (6), saw the pic of your boys and asked who they were. I explained who they were. He would now like to come over and play. :) Too bad we are so far away, I am sure our kids would love playing together.

If you like to read, you know that there are some books that are worth your time more than others. But if you don't know much about a certain book, it can be hard to guess if it is a good one or one that you would rather skip. And since it is not a good idea to judge a book by its cover, here are some of the best ten books that you should read in one year!
1. Geek love
This book by Katherine Dunn is one of the most entertaining books you can read. It is a book that helps you find your inner self, the way it was influenced by your environment and family.
2. Infinite Jest
David Foster Wallace gave his best when he wrote this unique book that will capture your attention from page 1. it describes the social struggles we face now only that it was written in 1990. a book in which the future is our present.
3. The left hand of Darkness
As interesting as this title is, you will find the book even better than it is described to be. Ursula K. Le Guin managed to mix sci-fi elements, with history and an intense as she describes the adventures of an ethnologist exploring other planets.
4. Giovanni's Room
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin is one of the best love stories that takes place between two men. It is exciting, sensual and very catchy. Plus, it is rather short so you will not have to spend days to finish this book!
5. Gilead
Marilynne Robinson creates a masterpiece book based on a letter written by an old father to his son. It is an emotional book with many lessons to learn from and the potential to change a life.
6. Disgrace
J. M. Coetzee creates the suspense and the excitement you expect to find in a book with every page you turn. This is a book that will captivate you and charm your heart and mind at the same time!
7. Desert Solitaire
Edward Abbey writes about the American Southwest in a fascinating way which makes Desert Solitaire one of those books that you will love to read. It has all the components to entertain you, including a very well chosen language!
8. All about love
Bell Hooks teaches us that love is a choice and not only a matter of destiny. We choose to fall in love and stay in love and if we realise that, it might change the way we see relationships altogether.

It's the kind of creative jolt most shows never dare attempt. When the name of the game is maintaining loyal viewers to sell to advertisers like Ford and Apple and Paramount Pictures, you don't rock the boat. Networks spend years looking for a hit show. When they land one, they milk it for all its worth. That's how you get ten years of derivative "CSI" episodes, each one just like the next, the interchangeable detectives solving case after case after case where the only thing different is the gory details. Most TV watchers don't really want to be challenged. They want comfort food.
We have no doubt that if "The Good Wife" threw in some obscenity and nudity or if it aired on a trendier cable network like AMC or HBO, it would be raining Emmys. It's far, far sharper and more layered than just about any show on network TV. It really is "Game of Thrones" good. The cast is uniformly outstanding, the characters all richly contradictory and well-rounded, the legal twists and turns always as surprising as they are plausible. These are smart characters showing off how smart they are. But it's 2013 and network TV is considered lame and uncool, so "The Good Wife" gets mostly shut out of the big awards.
More and more, the show's starting to make technology its narrative brand. This doesn't mean just using tech to solve cases (though it does do that). "The Good Wife" also builds a lot of its plots out of the ethical and legal problems surrounding technology, whether it's privacy concerns, cyberbullying, search engine algorithms, NSA spying. The list goes on and on. (In the fictional world of the show, all-powerful Google is something called Chumhum.) Just as technology and the web have influenced every corner of our collective existence, so too does it impact all areas of the show. "The Good Wife" has become so skilled in this area that it's drawn the attention of both Wired and Slate. If you're a fan of the show, these articles are worth a look.
Now go set your DVRs.

How to Reduce Breast Size
Being over weight can be a big problem and it differs from person to person. Most of us would realize that a certain part of the body is out of proportion or is odd, which though considered abnormal, in reality; is normal. That's because, there are many things that influence the body's shape and size right from the gene to the food and lifestyle. Some people have fat arms; fat thighs, butts and surprisingly, some surveys show that almost 35% of women have fat breasts or oversized breast. This is condition is predominant in the American and European women who are generally tall and hefty when compared to Asian women. This percentage denotes only those who have naturally oversized breasts and not those women who get breast implantation done.
Maternal breast have a big role to play in human life right from being just a mammary gland packed with fat; giving warmth, providing milk and nourishment for infants to being gentle, sexy and an attraction factor for the opposite sex. If the breasts are not in proportion with the body, it can pose a lot of threat to women especially if they are oversized. With advancement in medical technology, these days' women can choose to increase or decrease their breast size but, with any surgery, like reduction mammaplasty, it gives good results in removing the fat and makes them firm as desired but, it always has an associated complication.
Given the fact that almost 90% of the breast is made up of fat; it is easy to reduce them naturally by doing breast reduction exercise and following a healthy diet. But, there is another aspect to it. Sometimes, doctors refer to breast as 'dense' and this simply means that, there are more tissues than fat. As a rule, younger women have denser breasts and as they get older, it gets replaced by fat. The good news is, older women can lose or reduce breast size effectively than younger women. This is one reason why when women who are 40+ can be seen to reduce weight throughout the body when dieting or exercising than younger women. The allegory that older women should live with their weigh is totally wrong.
One of the most common exercises that are recommended by every physical trainer for reduction of excess breast fat is cable chest press. This exercise works on the pectoral muscles and tones them. If you have access to the gym, you can use the cable machine. If not, you can do it at home by lying down and pushing up free weights in your hand, mimicking the cable machine. Squatting and swimming also helps in reducing breast size along with toning the entire body. But, always remember exercising a particular part of the body to spot reduce is not recommended. You should always work out for the entire body but, give preference to the spot concentration exercises. A crash diet with rigorous exercise regime will damage the breast in terms of shape so one should never attempt a crash diet especially if the aim is to lose fat and get good shaped breasts.

This listing is for a two-site info product package created in October 2015 in the photography niche. The WordPress sites feature digital products and courses relating to photo editing. The main site has an email list has 300K+ subscribers and a combined social media following of almost 100K people. The business has a good age, a solid earnings history, a strong asset list, and requires very little work from the Seller.
The main site is in English, the secondary site is in Portuguese with a Brazilian team in place. The primary sources of traffic are organic from Google and an affiliate program the Seller runs. The affiliate program has been neglected recently and is an opportunity for the Buyer to reignite. All links to the website are natural. The business sometimes gives photographers the product in exchange for a written review with links.
The business has employees who look forward to continuing with the new owner. The Seller counts on the manager to run the business day to day, as well as for finding other photographers to work with. Writers are sometimes outsourced to produce content, though most of the content is written by employees. The Seller admits, though having this high level of workers has allowed the business to offer world-class customer service, expenses have not been kept to a minimum. It's possible to run the business by just contracting photographers to create products, but the Seller feels like the employees are great assets that would let the Buyer focus on SEO, PPC and scaling up.
The email list for the primary business is over 330K and for the Brazil-based business is over 14K. The business is averaging 50 to 150 new emails per day and sending out emails 1-2 times a month. Some subscribers are signed up for a weekly summary of new products and content. The main site's social media includes 44K Facebook followers, four Facebook groups with a combined 28K members, 7K Youtube subscribers, 4K Instagram followers, and over 100K monthly viewers on Pinterest. There are also almost 15K push notification subscribers.
*The business earns a small revenue from Amazon Associates.
*There are two older blogs that are included in the sale. There is also a shop on CreativeMarket that has not been updated. These are both opportunities to expand within the niche.

Social media marketing is a platform where everyone gets quite excited about its methods. It is all due to its efficiency in attracting the customers and clients. It's one of the parts of Digital Marketing where this has a powerful influence on people.
The social media marketing executives are responsible for maintaining their social media in every way possible. And yes, while maintaining, a person can definitely make mistakes. These mistakes can be created even though the marketing through social media is simple and easy. There are a number of platforms such as the Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, We Heart It, Tumbler, and etc. Well maintaining your company's social media accounts across all these platforms can be challenging, but it is easy if you follow some important rules. Let's see the top mistakes a marketer can avoid in SMM.
Not Having a Clear Goal
If you are a marketer, even before you enter this field, you need to know your goals. You need to understand the company, and its business in detail, and hence, make a goal out of it. What and how can you make your company outshine in the market? Where can you target people? Which is the best way to create engaging posts? There are many questions you need to answer about before you even start. And when you have all the answers, you need to go for it!
If you don't have a clear idea, your plans to help the company will have no future to succeed. Do you want to create some engaging posts or videos of your products and services? Do you want to create some campaigns? You need to figure out ways to make your goals.
Let's say you have started maintaining your social media, and you have posted videos and images with the best taglines. You even got some likes and reviews. How can you measure them? How can you know which post has gotten more likes? How many people have visited your website due to your post? In order to have a clear analytics on this, you need to use Facebook Pixel tracking code and set your site analytics. You definitely need to look at the analytics and make decisions based on it. And being on Facebook itself, you need to use the Facebook Analytics, and understand the marketing strategy.
Not Configuring Conversion Tracking
You need to set conversion tracking. Many of the marketers forget to add and check their conversion rates. You need to configure it which will help you understand the ad budget. You need to track the performance of the ads. How can you analyze them? You can analyze them based on the impressions, views, click through rates, and conversion rates. These are important or else, you'll be confused about what is happening with your ad?
For your Facebook ad, you can go for Facebook Pixel. You need to add the code to the site. This code will map specific actions that will is taken on the ad. For example, if a person clicks on your ad, visits the URL provided, purchases your product, and etc. All these will be tracked.
How can you use this information to your benefit? Let's say, you have 50 products, you can know which product is being highly demanded by the audience. You can use this information to focus on those products and create engaging content on it. For example, if you created an ad on Himalaya Orange Peel off Mask, and it has got thousands or millions of views, likes and etc. You can work on blog contents on the product which can attract the customers and make them understand about the product in detail. And hence, you can share them with the social media.
Not Opting for A/B Testing
A/B testing is one of the important components of the marketing schemes. Why is important? It is important to know which of your strategy is going well and attracted more customers. For example, if you are working for Lenovo. And you have a new product, say Lenovo 320 S. So, let's say in test A, you have created a post where a customer can buy this laptop with a free laptop bag worth 5,000 INR, plus with 2 years of warranty in just 50, 000 INR. And in test B, a customer can buy this laptop with a free Hi-design bag, JBL Headset worth 14, 000 INR, plus 1 year of warranty only in just 49, 000 INR. You can post the test A today, and test B after a few months. Now, all you need to observe and analyze which test get more customers. How many customers buy the laptop in test A or B?
The A/B testing is important to know the importance of the product you are selling, and how you can attract customers by selling it in different ways.
Not Opting for Creativity
The social media marketing is known for its creativity. You need to add some create graphics in the posts or else you can add some great quality videos, and hence make your brand powerful. Your company profile as a profession depends on the hands of creativity. You need to add some great taglines. And you definitely need to add an excellent image with great pixels. If you have a graphic designer, ask him or her to create something eye-catching!
If you want to go for videos, be sure to add something simple to small length videos. A small length video will not only catch the attention of viewers, but also create an impression on them. A long video will automatically bore the viewers, and they may leave or scroll down their timeline. So make sure you create a video of 1 to 5-minute video.
These are some of the things some of the markers lack and hence, their marketing objectives go to waste. Your main goal as a marketer is to create an impression, influence on the people by various methods. Create creative posts, add great taglines or one-liners perform an A/B testing, ad a tracking code to the ads, and lastly, use analytics to make better decisions.

Triathlon challenge: If I can do this, you can
Linda Fisher-Lewis was a competitor in the 2010 Fit Nation Triathlon Challenge. She is in training to compete again in the 2011 Nautica New York City Triathlon along with the 2011 competitors, and wrote the following words of inspiration for the new group of triathletes.
Congratulations on becoming a member of the Fit Nation Triathlon team. You are in for quite the ride. In looking back at my training prior to the New York City Triathlon, there were a lot of bumps and bruises as well as victories. Staying motivated for an event so far away, and getting in shape can be a very daunting task. My advice to anyone getting ready for such an event and likely a lifestyle change is staying focused, taking "baby steps" and setting obtainable goals.
First, staying focused. It is easy to not "feel" like training today. Especially when your muscles are tired or your energy feels low. Training is essential, and so is the fuel to train correctly. If you're feeling this way, look at everything you are doing. Fuel: What are you eating? Training: Are you over-training? Are you spending more time on one sport (swimming, biking, or running) because you like it more? Remember, you need to fuel your body to train for the event…don't over train, listen to your trainers.
Baby steps. This is likely a change to your normal routine. You do not need to do the Olympic-distance event daily as part of your training. Train smart; take small steps to reaching your August 7 goal. Run reasonable distances, bike reasonable distances and definitely mix it up. Swim reasonable distances and do all of these for a reasonable amount of time. I did bricks a couple of times a week instead of just once a week early on. This definitely started a trend of over training.
Lastly, attainable goals. Nothing will take away your motivation and momentum than setting goals that are too difficult to obtain. I talk with people regularly about training goals. I will hear, "I'm gonna run a marathon this year." I will ask what other races they have run, and they've never run a 10k. A goal such as a marathon is great for down the road but will quickly seem unattainable, and training may stop. You need to train to be successful, so take small steps, set attainable goals, and give your body the fuel it needs for success. You can do this!
I spent the four years prior to joining the CNN team on my couch. If I can do this, you can! I will be cheering for you the whole way and look forward to racing with you in August.

§5.3 — The narrativization of monetary history which has come closest to gaining mainstream acceptance is the evolutionary model of Carl Menger, which describes the emergence of money – or 'indirect exchange' – from out of a primitive barter economy, as a solution to the 'double coincidence of wants'.[1] Menger emphasizes the specific coordination problem involved in transactions by barter, which is the combinatorial explosion of 'direct' (and terminal) exchanges. "These difficulties would have proved absolutely insurmountable obstacles to the progress of traffic," Menger insists,[2] "and at the same time to the production of goods not commanding a regular sale, had there not lain a remedy in the very nature of things, to wit, the different degrees of saleableness (Absatzfähigkeit) of commodities."
§5.31 — Commodities are not equally 'saleable' or commercially disposable, and it is from this diversity that the differentiation of money from the world of commodities takes place. The transitional stage, within Menger's account, corresponds to the rise of a special commodity, marked out by its peculiar Absatzfähigkeit. The ready acceptance of such intermediate goods within systems of barter exchange, due to their convenience for re-sale – i.e. their liquidity – spontaneously anticipates the monetary function.[3] To re-iterate the kernel of Menger's analysis, at the risk of redundancy: the Absatzfähigkeit of precious metals "is far and away superior to that of all other commodities" (and, compared to this virtue, their traditionally-recognized merits are theoretically relegated to mere "concomitant and subsidiary functions of money"). The genesis of money is thus attributed to a self-organizing process of commercial abstraction, in which liquidity plays the supreme role.
§5.32 — Liquidity cannot be extracted from its commercial context. It translates with great fidelity into acceptability, and thus conceptually converts an extrinsic feature – the degree to which an item of whatever kind encounters general market receptivity – into an intrinsic property. Liquid assets will be readily 'taken off your hands'. They constitute the negative of commercial friction, or resistance, which approaches its minimum in money. ("Everybody needs money. That's why they call it 'money'."[4]) Since markets – whether comparatively concrete or abstract – are nothing but zones of asset liquidization, they tend to convert everything they touch into 'money' at some level of intensity. Anything that can be marketed has a monetary aspect, which is to say that it could – under counter-factual conditions determined by the absence of any superior commercial medium – become money. We return, always, to cigarettes in concentration camps as a reality anchor. Money, fundamentally, consists of market-participation tokens. It need only be swappable. What demotes any such thing, below the threshold of monetary status, is not its own essential deficiency, but always and only better money. It is better money that defines money effectively, while retro-projecting an original idea.[5]
§5.33 — Examples of extreme social relapse – accompanying the destruction of monetary systems through hyperinflation – are regularly invoked in support of Menger's story, because they resuscitate its basic features through regression. When money dies, societies appear to recapitulate its primeval forms – seizing desperately upon candidate 'general commodities' such as cigarettes – on their path of descent back into the dysfunctional tangles of barter relationships. It is especially notable that under such conditions it is the promissory aspect of money, as credit (corresponding to a liability accepted by another party), that leads the way into worthlessness. Hyperinflation is a catastrophic break-down in trust, when the value attributed to the solemn word of the issuing authority is rapidly re-set towards zero.
§5.34 — The Austrian narrative corresponds to an anti-politics, in which the legitimate domain of concentrated public action is subjected to systematic constriction, in accordance with a radical skepticism regarding both its theoretical sufficiency and its practical efficiency when compared to the history and prospects of spontaneous coordination. Inevitably, therefore, the most significant antagonists of the Austrian orientation are those committed to a defense of politics – one that is equally, and reciprocally, both descriptive and normative. In recent times, the most influential account in this vein has been advanced by David Graeber.[6] The basic tendency of Graeber's historical reconstruction, which folds economics into the politics of debt, makes it emblematic of the anti-liberal philosophy of money in general. It can therefore be taken as exemplary.
§5.341 — Rather than tracing the origins of money back to a process of spontaneous order, in the Austrian fashion, Graeber binds its history to the state. The primordial linkage of money to a 'universal commodity' is de-emphasized relative to its political-economic functions of taxation and debt accountancy. According to this narrative, the principal historical secret of money lies not in the facilitation of trade, but in economic exaction by social elites. Standardization is the essential feature, reflecting – and reinforcing – concentrations of power. The large-scale production presupposed by an oecumenic currency depends upon a monetary manufacturing capacity that can only be provided by royal mints, or their modernized equivalents. Abstraction – or formal mathematization – of the primitive social obligations within what Graeber dubs "human economies" leads to a radical intensification of oppression and violence.
§5.342 — The axis within which Graeber's analysis unfolds is determined not by (commodity) trade, but by obligations, stretching from the fluid reciprocities of primitive societies – and residual "everyday communism"[7] – to the cyclopean power structures of centralized states. Within the latter, as recorded already in the excavated tablets of ancient Sumer (c. 3,500 BC), cash money has been consistently marginalized relative to financial credit. It is this construction that supports Graeber's inverted sequence of monetary history, which is no longer conceived as an abstraction from commercial traffic, but instead as a commercialization of formalized obligations, beginning with credit as the primordial phenomenon. It is from debt that money is subsequently developed, with barter appended, at the end of the theoretical sequence, as a mutant, terminal annex. Credit and not barter, then, or obligation and not trade. This is, for Graeber, the political matrix in which money is born. An innovation in social hierarchy is its midwife, introducing it to the world through the "military-coinage-slave" complex of the Axial Age civilizations.
§5.343 — It is notable that Graeber considers the Axial Age[8] to be an essentially unmitigated historical calamity. Where Karl Jaspers drew attention to an incomparable cultural awakening, occurring in the centuries around the middle of the first millennium BC, Graeber derives its efflorescence from a revolutionary advance in the machinery of social oppression. The ascription of values is reversed. Yet abstraction is the consistent key to both accounts. Concrete existence becomes calculable on an unprecedented scale. Something like a 'question of being' arises. Graeber earns his role in this discussion through participation in the hypothesis that monetary innovation – operating as a spontaneous stimulus to abstract thinking in general – is the basic phenomenon. During the Axial Age the world begins to learn what money can do.
§5.344 — Graeber's analysis is consistent with a far wider cultural tendency to conceive debt as the principal instance of economic domination (supplanting the classical role of mere destitution in this role).[9] Social contestation over economic flow (profits versus wages) is displaced by a central image of class war between creditors and debtors, radically and fundamentally financialized. This is not a socio-historical construction to be lightly dismissed. The model of political revolution as an insurrectionary extinction of debt, in particular, is productively suggestive. It embeds into itself a theory of post-revolutionary social memory – or strategic amnesia – in obvious accordance with large swathes of historical evidence. The revolutionary 'Year Zero' symbolically wipes the slate clean. Evidently, the financialization of capital and its revolutionary negation have modernized in parallel, if not at tightly-bound velocities.
§5.3441 — While the complex historical entanglement of modern revolutionary politics and ancient eschatalogical religion is a well-worked topic far exceeding the scope of this book, it intrudes inescapably at this point, in the specific guise of the jubilee.[10] 'Redemption' is a term cutting across the registers of religious and economic discourse, sustained by a consistent appeal for absolution, or forgiveness. From Prophetic Judaism to Graeber's Debt: The First 5,000 Years, via The Merchant of Venice, Das Kapital, and countless additional examples of anti-usurious polemic, the voice of the debtor has been bound to an apocalyptic promise of forgetting. The obliteration of the secular ledger in the name of a higher accountancy has been the insistent theme. For roughly a century, administrative inflation-tolerance has provided a moderated expression for the same popular clamor. Inflation strikes a compromise with the demand for financial tabula rasa, by erasing debt values incrementally. It is revolutionary redistribution on an installment plan. The veil of the ubiquitous credit system allows inflationary macroeconomics to reach beyond debt, and make the abominated 'liquidity preference' of cash accumulators its target. Money as a 'store of value' – as economic memory – is brought into the arena of programmatic erosion. In this way a chronic, or normalized, war on money offers a concession to populism that epitomizes the compromise-formation political economy has become. Socialist revolution is forestalled by a continuous debauching of financial signs, but in this way it is also executed. Macroeconomics delivers eschatological communism in slow motion. An explicit attraction of discretion-protected crypto-currency is making such deals unobtainable.[11]
§5.345 — Initially at issue
here is the sanctity (or sacrilege) of the free contract – an essential pillar
of the liberal social order from the perspective of the right, an objectively-merciless
formalistic extravagance from that of the left. Supporting these contrary judgments
are diverse ethnographic orientations inclined, respectively, to the
naturalization or denaturalization of commercial life (with Smith's "propensity
to truck, barter, and exchange one thing for another"[12]
at one end of the spectrum, and Graeber's "everyday communism" at the other). Providing
consoling doctrines, respectively, to the 'haves and have-nots', this axis of
variation reflects an antagonism no less durable than the human species itself (and
quite possibly more enduring by far). There is a liberal and a socialist End of History, and neither
unambiguously approaches. This is what any social animal – poised between the
tiger and the mole-rat – should expect. Persistence of ideo-political conflict
is the safe prediction, with the corollary that partially-insecure property is the socio-economic norm. Projects to
strengthen or weaken property security – that is to adjust its degree of political insulation – mark the PPD like
traffic indicators, illuminating its basic axis, and describing the great games.
[1] In chapter 17 of Human Action, Mises refers to this narrative as: "an irrefutable praxeological theory of the origin of money."
[2] 'On the Origin of Money' (1892): http://www.monadnock.net/menger/money.html
In 'Shelling Out', Szabo integrates the problem into game theory. "Barter requires, in other words, coincidences of supply or skills, preferences, time, and low transaction costs. Its cost increases far faster than the growth in the number of goods traded. Barter certainly works much better than no trade at all, and has been widely practiced. But it is quite limited compared to trade with money. … Money converts the division of labor problem from a prisoner's dilemma into a simple swap."
[3] For an illuminating discussion of the re-emergence of intermediate goods in the wake of the gold standard, see Nick Szabo's 'Two Malthusian Scares' (2016): http://unenumerated.blogspot.hk/2016/02/two-malthusian-scares.html
[4] This is to repeat the line from David Mamet's Heist that is cited at the start of this book. Beyond the humor, it is perhaps the most insightful contribution to political economy to be found within the history of cinema.
[5] Upon being asked to predict what Bitcoin would ultimately come to be called, Pierre Rochard offered the acute response "Money." The absence of anticipated qualification is, of course, the critical point. Superiority predicts eventual normality. The forecast runs: First Bitcoin, then 'standard crypto-currency', then 'computer money', finally 'money'. Something roughly like this has to be probable, even if the prediction is implicitly revolutionary.
[6] Graeber's argument is detailed in his work Debt: The First 5,000 Years (2011). The author's academic foundation in anthropology makes it philosophically tempting to categorize his work as an empirical revolt against transcendental – or a prioristic – economic theorizing (of the kind exemplified by Austrian praxeology), and it has been frequently defended on these grounds. Perhaps the most crucial empirical observation, which has already become a staple of anti-liberal monetary theorizing, is the remarkable absence of anything approximating to a 'barter economy' within the record of historical anthropology. The primordial commercial problem, for which money is proposed as solution, has little obvious instantation among human societies – past or present. The pertinence of this apparent fact is irreducibly ambiguous, however, since an economic order based upon barter, even in the terms of the liberal analysis, clearly cannot be conceived as a stable – and thus enduring – social equilibrium. The absence of barter economies from the ethnographic and historical record is thus predictable as a selection effect (with the radical maladaptation of these systems – i.e. their intrinsic inclination towards extinction – exempting them from the domain of empirical evidence). We do not see them because they do not work. For a succinct Austrian riposte to Graeber's theory of monetary history (along these lines), see Robert P. Murphy's 'Origin of the Specie' http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/origin-of-the-specie/
[7] Graeber's fascination with the entanglement of debt and definite moral ideas is overtly indebted to Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals, down to the details of its etymological observations. In particular, the moral-economic ambivalence of Schuld (guilt / debt) is crucial to both. It can be predicted with some confidence that this Nietzsche text – untimely in a way that is only now becoming starkly apparent – is set to acquire a special prominence among the emerging conditions of the 21st century, as the foundations of contractuality are subsumed into the technosphere, and thus require explicit formulation.
[8] Karl Jaspers coined the term 'Axial Age' (Achsenzeit) in his work The Origin and Goal of History (Vom Ursprung und Ziel der Geschichte, 1949). Thinkers of the Axial Age include Laozi (Lao Tse, 6th-4th century BC); Kongzi (Confucius, 551–479 BC); Li Kui (455-395 BC); Mozi (470–c.391 BC); Yang Zhu (440–360 BC); Mahavira (599–527 BC); Gautama Buddha (c.563-483 BC); the authors of the Upanishads (from 6th century BC); Thales (of Miletus, c.624–546 BC); Anaximenes (of Miletus, 585-528 BC); Pythagoras (of Samos, c.570–495 BC); Heraclitus (of Ephesus c.535–475 BC); Aeschylus (c.525-455 BC); Anaxagoras (c.510–428 BC); Parmenides (of Elea, early 5th century BC); Socrates (c.469–399 BC); Thucydides (c.460–395 BC); and Democritus (c.460–370 BC), among others. The origination of philosophy in this historical episode is scarcely deniable. The Neo-Marxist explanation, re-animated by Matteo Pasquinelli, is rooted in the work of Alfred Sohn-Rethel and the identification of real abstraction. Philosophy is located downstream of a distributed cognitive machine, activated by the creation of money.
Our question 'what can money do?' is thus modulated by the compelling hypothesis that to be included among the things money has already done is the initiation of philosophy. According to this understanding, 'philosophy' – defined so broadly that it comprehends even the birth of systematic mathematics (Euclid) – is a side-product of social monetization. Its cognitive machinery cannot be accurately specified at any level that falls short of commercial process. The conceptual equation does not precede the exchange relation. In the beginning was the swap.
[9] A Malthusian lineage passing through David Ricardo's Iron Law of Wages made the primary contribution to the classical Marxian analysis. The identification of a socio-historically contingent 'natural' or equilibrium tendency for wages to approximate to a subsistence income, under conditions of chronic labor supply glut, was the prediction that propelled the Marxist analysis to its peak of popularity – at least in the West – during the late 19th century epoch of mass proletarianization. It can surely be no coincidence that the recession of this paleo-Marxist immiseration thesis – among conditions of comparative generalized abundance – have been accompanied by a redirection of critical attention from the commoditization of labor to the registration of accounts, associating economic oppression with debt peonage, rather than absolute destitution.
[10] The Jubilee (yovel), referenced already in the Torah (or Pentateuch), is the culmination of a – seven-times-seven – 49-year meta-cycle, in which 'the slate is wiped clean' by debt-forgiveness. Every seventh year of the ancient Hebrew calendar was a shemita or fallow year, of which the Jubilee is evidently an extrapolation. (The modulus-seven pattern is generally accepted by scholars based upon overwhelming evidence, notwithstanding the description of the Jubilee in Leviticus 25:10 as the 'fiftieth year'.) Within the cyclic system of the jubilee, debt-annihilation appears as an equilibrium function. The regenerative (positive-feedback) tendency of money as proto-capital is capped by a circuit-breaker. From the perspective of human social conservatism, there is no doubt a perennial wisdom in this, even if it runs directly contrary to the trend of the modern (Ashkenazi) contribution to finance capital in its attainment of historical escape velocity. Any deeper venture into the ironies of Jewish socio-economic history exceeds the ambitions of the present work.
[11] Absolution is the theological model of the reversible commitment, and thus of time annihilation. Time cannot forgive, by definition. It is non-retraction in-itself. Only within a soteriological construction of eternity can what is done be undone. To be saved is to be rescued from the intrinsic consequences of time. Can there be serious doubt that the project of reversing the irreversible provides the final content of modern political dialectics, and especially of 'revolution' in its dominant modern sense as applied soteriology? Aufhebung is absolution, undisguisedly. The transmission mechanism, from theology to political history, is provided by the Nietzschean insight (from On the Genealogy of Morals) that institutional slavery has a humanistic origin, offering immediate respite from execution, and mediate opportunity for redemption, to a defeated enemy. In this context, deferred settlement is mere contingent survival, or mercy in the form of time. Primordially, the condition of slavery is a stay of execution. One owes everything to the hesitation of the killer, within which a transition from military history to economic history surreptitiously takes place. Debt peonage is the bridge.

BIO: Born in what was once British Mandate of Palestine in 1944. Attended London School of Economics. At 20, took over ill father's struggling fertilizer business, turning it into one of Israel's biggest chemical concerns. Recruited into top-secret Israeli intelligence agency Lekem. As a young man, hung out with future Israeli leaders Shimon Peres, Moshe Dayan, Teddy Kolleck and Chaim Herzog. In 1985, Milchan's name surfaced during a federal investigation into alleged clandestine efforts by Israel to obtain U.S. weapons technology but was never accused of wrongdoing. Subject of 2011 biography titled "Confidential: the Life of Secret Agent Turned Hollywood Tycoon Arnon Milchan" by Meir Doron and Joseph Gelman. Told Israeli TV program Uvda last year that he performed dozens of clandestine missions on behalf of Israel. Uvda also alleged Milchan was operating 30 companies in 17 countries on behalf of Israel.
MARITAL STATUS: Married to former South African tennis pro Amanda Coetzer. First marriage was to French model Brigitte Genmaire and occurred 10 days after they met. "The problems," he told the L.A. Times, "began when I learned to speak French."
Milchan once shelled out $30,000 worth of poker chips when Israeli businessman Meir Teper approached him at a baccarat table and asked him to invest in his Ted Lapidus store at Caesars Palace.—L.A. Times.
"Milchan can still serve a tennis ball at 90 miles-an-hour. He likes to gamble, and loves good wine and leggy blondes."—Luke Ford
QUOTABLES: "I really believe that I have the skills, the courage, the conviction and the know-how to make a difference in the peace process in the Middle East."—Cigar Aficionado (2008)
"Everything is true except the fast cars."—Q&A with Cigar Aficionado when asked to comment about a "60 Minutes" segment in which Steve Kroft says Milchan is one of the most powerful people in Hollywood and also happens to a trained scientist, a former soccer star and a high-stakes gambler who likes fast cars and a good time.
"To make all of your money from Jews in Hollywood, and then have a few drinks and say you hate Jews, is shocking. If you are so upset with the Jews, don't work for them."—Milchan quoted on Mel Gibson scandal by L.A. Times.
"I'm not an arms dealer. I don't sell guns., I don't sell rockets. If peole knew how many times I risked my life, back and forth, again and again, for my country."—to interviewer on Israeli TV program Uvda as quoted by the BBC.
"But given his combative nature, Milchan has had his share of skirmishes. 'Arnon was a pirate, a buccaneer in Hollywood,' says (director Terry) Gilliam (who made Brazil and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen with him). "He ran into Hollywood's anti-semitism. They don't like real Jews. They don't like Israelis. Arnon has a Levantine soul. Everything is horse trading and carpet dealing."
"Dinners, parties, nightclubs. He's fun."—Roman Polanski.
"His great skill was pretending that he's very rich. He'd rent two cabanas—not one—at the Beverly Hills Hotel to out-impress the other big shots. It was his belief that Hollywood throws money at money. But he never spends his own money."—Gilliam.
SCIENTOLOGY CONNECTION: Executive produced 2000 TV movie "Noriega: God's Favorite" written by Lawrence Wright, author of best-selling book "Going Clear: Scientology, Hollywood, & the Prison of Belief." Produced 1985 Tom Cruise film "Legend."

Paleo protein bars, made with mango, coconut, and almonds! These no bake protein bars are balanced with flavor and easy to digest. Made with natural sugars, healthy fats, and complete protein. Great for travel, pre/post workout fuel, breakfast, or healthy snacks.
We all have a few things that just work well for us. Whether that be in our training, our way of eating/nutritional needs, or even our work/life balance. We find what works, what makes us feel good, and we stick with it, well for the most part.
For the past 5 months, we've been trying to figure out what's working. I think I mentioned in beginning of this post that our life looks a little different these days. And that's okay! Transitions happen. They keep us on our toes and working through rough spots. That being said, working more (job wise) and working out less can be one of the hardest transitions when you're used to being a full time athlete (ahem, my husband, the Kiwi). I think a majority of us have been there. When life gets unintentionally busy or FULL, we do What WE Can (physically) When We Can. A walk, a quick 10 minute Circuit, yoga on our lunch break, taking the stairs, etc. In fact, the other day my husband did 150 body weight squats while getting ready for work. It's all he had time for between coaching and his other job. The next day he was sore. I find this a wee bit comical coming from a guy who used to train 4-5 hrs a day. But hey, it's WHAT WORKED and I feel his pain. Haha!
Food is another thing we are trying to figure out. What we need to fuel us, now that there is less intense training but still a lot of activity. If that makes sense. And you know what? It all comes down to balance. Yet again!
So here we are on a Monday talking about balance and bars. Not to be confused with Balance Bars.
Nope, because these balanced protein bars are the real deal. They are what's working for us. Balanced with flavor, they are easy to digest, they are made with natural sugars, healthy fats, and a complete protein.
We all know protein is super important for us. Proteins contain amino acids, which are used in the body to repair cells, to make enzymes, hormones, and antibodies. There are 20 different amino acids that are contained in a protein, and nine that the body cannot make on it's own. These are the essential amino acids, and if you have all 9 of these essential amino acids in a protein, then it's called a complete protein. Make sense?
The best sources of complete protein comes from animal meats, dairy, and egg whites. And for vegans, complete proteins can be found in quinoa, tempeh, chia, and a few other seeds/legumes.
Have I bored you yet? Okay, my point here. The reason why you need to make these bars is because they will sustain you for whatever you day may entail. They are a COMPLETE balance of nutrition, nutrition you NEED. They great for travel, for a pre or post workout snack, for breakfast on the go, for just getting in extra macro/micro nutrients. You see, they just WORK!
Oh, and they taste pretty darn good. I told you I had a point here.
Protein Bars, Balance Bars, Fruit and Nut Bars, whatever name "works" for you. And the best part… you don't have to turn on the oven. No baking required. All you need are a few simple ingredients and a blender/food processor.
And just so you know, I made these paleo protein bars 3 times, baking until I found the best recipe that WORKS.
Did I emphasize that enough already? The, um… what's working part? Ha, I'm kidding. Sort of.Print
Mango Coconut Almond Protein Bars
- Prep Time: 15 min
- Total Time: 15 min
- Yield: 9-10 1x
Paleo Mango Coconut Almond Protein Bars
- 3 cups raw almonds
- 1/4 cup dried Mango or about 4-5 pieces (unsweetened if possible)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1/2 cup egg white powder or 2 scoops (60 grams) protein powder of choice (see notes below for options)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
- pinch of sea salt
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- hot water (purified)
- First grind up your dried mango. they are usually tough so if you don't have a high powered blender or food processor, try to cut with a knife first, then grind them.
- Next add in the rest of your dry ingredients and grind again.
- Pour into a large bowl and set aside.
- In a separate small mixing bowl. combine your honey, 1/3 cup of hot water, and vanilla. Stir all together and add to your dry ingredients..Be sure to add in your cinnamon and sea salt here too.
- Mix well with hands then press into a baking dish. Let bars cool in fridge then cut into squares.
- If they batter gets to thick, just add more hot water or even a little honey. If it's too wet, add more powder or a flour of choice (such as coconut or peanut flour)
- Keep refrigerated.
- Makes anywhere between 9-12 bars. You choose size!
If you can't find egg white powder (which is usually in baking section), you can use chia flour, 100% whey protein isolate, Pea Protein, or Brown Rice Protein. But the texture and taste will be a little different, so adjust honey/water accordingly.
If you can't find egg white powder or egg white protein, you can use meringue powder but it will have more sugar. Just FYI
