Graph: "You give it data and it gives you a graph." Other things are straightforward, unobtrusive and automatic. People using Graph have this to say about it:
"The fact that the Graph app for the Mac is free is nothing short of remarkable because charts and graphs are instant. Drop in some number and the graph practically builds itself."
"A great program. Don't let the first screen shot fool you, the output available is actually very impressive."
"More features are available in the not-so-free Graph versions, Graph Builder for Mac, and Graph IDE for iOS, both of which extend graphs far beyond Graph, and, frankly, far beyond Excel graphs."
Graph should give you a similar experience. Graph for iPhone, iPad and Mac has been downloaded over one million times and it is best to ensure that the Graph user interface is working for each and every one of those downloads. So, on the off chance that you encounter difficulty then please email [email protected] to get in touch with an expert.
• Includes several 1D, 2D and 3D graph types such as bar, column, pie, line, area, scatter, 3D perspective scatter, trajectory and surface, volumetric, z-sliced cell, maps, linear, semi-log, x-log, log-log, polar, r-log, Gregorian date and many variations.
• Data is pasted from the pasteboard, fetched from web servers or the file system and inserted and edited using a table interface.
• Click-drag graphs to rotate and scan data.
• Click and hover over data to edit and show their values.
• Includes an integrated manual.
• Explore data sets directly from the graph or in numeric format from the table.
• Projects are navigated using a simple tool sheet.
• Thousands of graphic, graph and data attributes, including artwork, maps, autoscaling and many effects can be set by applying a skin made with Graph Builder (a separate application).
• Data and preferences are organized by project and each project is persistent and automatically saved so you can show and retrieve your settings and data on subsequent use.
Release Notes:
• Tables load faster and show textual data much faster.
• All graphics are further optimized so that drawing and transitioning to different graph representations is much faster. However, twice the "blink of an eye" is still a "blink of an eye".
• General bug fixes.
Most Helpful Reviews
Very useful - I just downloaded this and I was very happy to get out a very useful xyz scatterplot with over 250.000 point and was scrolling around very smoothly. Allright, the application needs some elaborate data editing before some impressive graphs get out. Colors interface seems not to be really functional. Very happy with this app; it seems to be under development; I'll first test how fast this app is being developed, then I'd consider to buy the paid version...
Instructions incomplete - I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to enter data for a line graph with no success. Not user friendly at all.

Best mehndi designs to try in 2017
Mehndi is a form of body art traced back to Ancient India, though many facts indicate Egypt and other regions of the world. It's also said that even Cleopatra used henna to adorn her body. This type of body part uses decorative designs on the person's body parts like hands, feet and even shoulders. The designs are created by using a paste, made from powdered dry leaves from the henna plant. It's still one of the most popular and natural form of body art among women.
Mehndi is also a tradition for weddings and many festivals in India like Karva Chauth, Diwali, Teej and Eid. The decorative design is usually drawn on the palm and back of the hand. The colour of the mehndi depends on the henna paste; it varies from cheery red to dark brown. Indian henna art features fine lines of designs like flowers, petals, leaves and heavy intricate work.
In the last few years mehndi has gained a lot of popularity worldwide. It is also known by the name of Henna tattoos. From heavy designs to geometric versions, many new designs have rounded up on the internet. Unlike permanent tattoos, henna is temporary, easy to get and pain free. This natural form of body art is also known for the cooling effect it leaves on the palms. Many like the feel of mehndi on their palms and enjoy getting it drawn. Though traditional designs are only used for weddings, festivals in India, many opt for mehndi designs which are simple designs. From half moons to basic lines, people even create their own mehndi art, which are easy to make. If you're looking for some mehndi inspiration, here are the latest mehndi designs. Scroll down and check out the latest mehndi designs of 2017:
1. White mehndi
If you love to experiment and want to stand out, try the white mehndi art. Unlike the natural henna which leaves the colour on the skin, the white henna can be easily washed off. From adhesive to body paints, there are different forms of paste used for white henna. Artists seal this art with glitter and gilding powder. These pastes can stay on the skin for 3 to 10 days.
2. Shaded mehndi
The shading technique in mehndi art is eye-catching and different from the regular ones. The double shade tone has been very popular among girls. It is done by using dark and light colours of henna for the shading technique.
3. Net mehndi
The net design mehndi replicates the interfaced structure of mesh fabric. This delicate type of design takes a lot of patience to be drawn. From full mesh design to part of it, it's one the most beautiful mehndi design.
4. Floral mehndi
This has been one of the most prominent designs of mehndi. From small flowers to big patterns, floral design remains one of the key mehndi designs for women. From shaded versions to big flowers, floral mehndi is one of the major pick for traditional occasions like weddings and festivals.
5. Tiki-style mehndi
If you're not a fan of heavy design or intricate designs, you should opt for the simple tiki style versions. This design is very popular in India, Pakistan and regions of Middle East. From round circular designs in the middle, to diagonal patterns, they are many variations in this. And if you're looking for a quick job, then this design won't take much of your time.
6. Diagonal floral mehndi
Another quicker design for mehndi is the floral diagonal design on the back of the hand. This is usually done with simple designs on the palm. From big flowers to petals, this design starts with the index finger and may continue till the palm.
7. Glitter mehndi
The glitter version of mehndi is mostly worn on wedding functions. From sequins to glitter, the mehndi gets an extra charm with sparkly adornments.
8. Sticker mehndi
They come in different colours, where women often match the colour of the mehndi with their outfits. This is the easiest and most hassle free mehndi art. From different colours to pattern, these stickers can be used on different occasions and festivals in India.
9. Diamond mehndi design
The design uses the diagonal pattern near the end of the palm. This design stands out because of the pattern and space between the designs. This is also one of the easy-to-make designs which don't involve a lot of time.
10. Portrait mehndi
Mehndi is one the main tradition for Hindu weddings. Brides usually go for intricate and heavy designs for the wedding. And now the latest trend involves getting a portrait of their husband or even the couple drawn on the palms. This design is not a free-hand drawing, the sketch is made 3-4 days before and artists use a decal to recreate the portraits, which looks pretty much like a painting. It's one of the most different and beautiful mehndi for brides.

Maize price rise casts shadow on poultry unitsJuly 4, 2016 | India
Steady rise in the price of maize – the prime feed for the poultry birds – in the local market is prompting the poultry farmers to look for alternatives such as importing the feed.In the last six months, the price of maize went up from Rs. 1,300 to Rs. 1,850 per quintal and is fluctuating.

Ian Ziering Playing for the EBMRF on Celebrity Apprentice
Ian Ziering has my full cheering section support in my house as he plays to raise money for the EBMRF on the Celebrity Apprentice, premiering tonight on NBC. The EBMRF stands for "Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation" (website here: http://www.ebkids.org). The EBMRF and their fundraising efforts are behind the research for a cure that have been going on at Stanford for as long as my son has been alive, and of which clinical trials have started which Nicky will be participating in. If there is hope for Nicky, it is because of the EBMRF. I have no doubt about it. The amazing thing about this foundation is that from its establishment, it pays no salaries. All work, including executive, development and administrative, is done on a volunteer basis.

In Pictures: Tradition Retold at the Tower of London - HRP Showcase
February 23, 2016
Who doesn't love a good showcase event? The chance to wine and dine with industry peers (or 'eventprofs' as they like to be called), whilst indulging in some of the finest efforts of each individual part of the events world. With floral arrangements and decoration from Simon Lycett, tasty morsels from By Word of Mouth, Velvet Living providing some sumptuous furniture and White Light Events focusing on all things lights and technical wizardry, there wasn't a lot more left to do! Except of course, providing the evening's entertainment. What a wonderful night!
If you are looking for a gorgeous events venue in the heart of London that carries worldwide renown, then Historical Royal Palaces' Tower of London has to be one of the main options on your list. The fabulous location for the incredible poppies art installation, which marked 100 years since World War I in 2014, the building is in a stunning location a stone's throw from the River Thames, affording fabulous views of Tower Bridge whilst you party or dine the night away!
Upon arrival, the luckiest dinner guests in town were able to marvel at the transformation of the Tower of London; a multitude of lights decorated the outside of the landmark, changing the brick from its usual tone into a vibrant smorgasbord of colour – blues, purples, reds and yellows all featured – and guests couldn't get enough, photographing and recording the marvellous changing landscape. And this was just the start of the event! What more could they expect? As the below pictures from the fantastic Holly Clark Photography show, every company involved had done an incredible job of welcoming attendees into this historic venue.
No sooner had everybody taken in the splendour of the event than they were duly offered champagne and a chance to network (what better place in which to do it?!) Canapés included these extremely cute cones of truffle popcorn, which disappeared within minutes of their arrival! And to entertain these various events staff? The impeccable tones of Fables and Friends, demonstrating their new wandering status to great effect! Watch out Wandering Hands! Comprising a cajon, guitar and two vocalists, this is an energetic act to get guests dancing and ready for a wonderful evening ahead. Although guests would no doubt have been happy to stay sipping champagne and eating popcorn to the impeccable party tunes, they soon had to move to the next treat all involved had provided…
…Yes, a sit down dinner! What a treat! At most showcases, people are expected to stand throughout, but for this one it was table service and astonishing meals whilst enjoying the entertainment and chatter around your table. So let's be aware of just what everyone was enjoying: all the best parts of a wedding without any of the necessity to chat to people you don't know. We're all events professionals, we all understand the industry and a chance to sample some of the best stuff on offer (for free, no less)… Well, now that screams party to us! As if to hammer home the point, the brilliant J-Tones were on offer to provide the music, singing a few a cappella show tunes to the delight of their audience, whilst no doubt looking on enviously at the food on offer.
As the speeches flowed (seem told you it was like a wedding), guests were duly informed of just how lucky they were. One need only look at the setting and surrounding to admire that! Velvet Living, Simon Lycett, White Light Events and of course the venue itself had done a superb job! But enough hyperbole about the companies involved, it was time to indulge and people were only too happy to eat the treats By Word of Mouth had laid on. Lyndsay provided fantastic musical accompaniment with her combination of percussion and DJ, whilst the astonishingly good new act Tones duly brought evening to a close. A combination of pop and opera (popera?), it was a duet with a sprinkling of comedy that was a perfect end to the evening whilst guests enjoyed their lovingly crafted dessert.
Alas, sadly that was all. Or was it? as the eventprofs returned to real life, there was one more surprise in store. Yes, White Light Events had again immortalised the party in all its glory by shining evening's hashtag upon the building for all to see. One need only look up #HRPShowcase on Twitter or Instagram (yes, we've done it for you), to see more fantastic photos from the event. It goes without saying that we wish to thank everyone involved for such a marvellous showcase and hope everyone who attended had a great time!

Honda's new 190hp Mean Mower wants to do 150mph
We imagine one of the first-world problems with having an enormous amount of land is that the foliage that coats it must be tended. If you've no plans to buy a decommissioned WRC car to rip around on it and ruin it, how do you keep it all well-tended? It's almost as if you'd need a 150mph ride-on mower. Well, Honda might have exactly what you need.
Say hello to the Honda Mean Mower V2
This Team Dynamics-developed, CBR1000RR Fireblade-engined machine is the successor to 2014's Mean Mower. That's the one that took the record of fastest mower in the world at the time, with a top speed of 116mph… but, since then, it's been beaten by the V8-engined Viking with a top-end of 134mph.
Naturally, Honda was not going to taking this lying down, so it had its crack BTCC racing partner go all-out with this ludicrous 190hp 13,000rpm machine. You don't need to be a master mathematician to note the new Mean Mower will hammer the Viking, if Honda's 150mph+ estimates hold true.
What makes the Mean Mower V2 so mean?
Honda is keen to stress this isn't a simple engine swap. Bespoke CAD-designed materials – some created with 3D printing – put it well within the realms of 'custom hot-rod with mower lights'. The engine isn't the only borrowed CBR vital organ, either, with the ECU, six-speed transmission and LCD display also making the jump.
Carbon paddles on the wheel give the brave rider control over the quick-shifting system. It has a bespoke steel chassis, no suspension, and big Goldspeed 10-inch ATV wheels anodised in gold (matching the Fireblade). The all-too-vital braking power comes courtesy of vented Kelgate items with four-piston callipers at the front and six at the rear.
There are, however, certain criteria that need to be met in order for this monster to still be classed as a lawnmower. The aforementioned lights with bodywork from the original HF 2622 lawn tractor are just the beginning – a mower isn't a mower if it can't cut the green stuff. Yes, this 150mph Fireblade-engined monster has a blade to cut grass. Thinking about it, a Fireblade engine is an appropriate swap into a record-breaking lawnmower. (Sorry.)
But will it hit the magic buck-and-a-half? For that, it's all eyes on experienced cart and car racer, Jess Hawkins, who will be pushing the limits of this ludicrous machine sometime soon…

Italian DJ and producer trio, Cristian Carpentieri, Guido Nemola and Chico Perulli aka Joyfull Family return to Piston with the excellent Keep On Dubbin' EP which comes hot on the heels of their last effort – Lost Pleasures EP – back in June 2017. Ten years ago these guys got together to create underground tracks and house remixes. Their 2005 hit Da Breaker got plenty of airtime, notably through gaining top spot on various European charts including Pete Tong's Essential Selection. They went on to remix for international stars like Corrina Joseph and Shawn Christopher as well as a remix for Cajmere and Dajae's Brighter Days. In the last couple of years they've racked up a very impressive release count on several labels with their brand of deep and tech house hitting the spot for many jocks and clubbers alike. Nice to see them back for more at Piston.
Keep On Dubbin' offers up a real treat full of wonderful house flavours to whet the appetite and get the floors busy. The track intros with a nice punchy kick drum and slicing hi hat combi which is soon followed by a powerful sub bass. Cool vocals laden with FX peek through adding a club vibe as filtered pads fade in. The synths deliver a cool funky house groove that blends effortlessly with that solid probing bassline. A definite must have for sure.
Take Me Up ironically takes us down, deep down into the depths of house music and filled with warming basses and seriously smooth chords. A chunky kick drum leads the way and is accompanied by rhythmic hi hats and intricate percussion patterns. Short vocal shots create a cool vibe as rich chords come through alongside mesmerizing keys and sweeping pads. A wonderful deep house groove, perfect for those early morning sessions.

Floating and Fixed Exchange Rates
First we need to explain what fixed and floating exchange rates are. Fixed exchange rate regime is a regime in which central banks buy and sell their own currencies to keep their exchange rates fixed at a certain level (Mishkin G-4). Floating exchange rate regime is an exchange rate regime in which the value of currencies are allowed to fluctuate against one another (Mishkin G-5). Floating exchange rates are like a shock absorber. When export demand declines, depreciation makes domestic goods more competitive abroad, stimulates an offsetting expansion in demand, and dampens the contraction in domestic economic activity (FRBSF).
For a short-term floating rates would be good during a shock such as oil price increases, but not for long-term. During this short-term, floating rates influence economic activity. With a fixed exchange rate, economic activity adjusts to the exchange rate, where with a floating rate the exchange rate is a reflection of economic activity. Both fixed and float exchange rates have strengths and weaknesses.
Floating exchange rates did not produce reduction in the US balance of payment deficit during the early 1980s because influential economic arguments supported fixed exchange rate regimes as an anchor to break hyper- and high inflation in many emerging markets (Treasury).
Because foreign exchange crises lead to large changes in central banks' holdings of international reserved and thus significantly affect the official reserve asset items in the balance of payment.
The system that was developed to replace floating exchange rates was Dirty Float. Dirty Float is a system where countries attempt to...

Nowadays municipalities in the Netherlands work together more intensively with other municipalities in the region. Also cooperation with companies, institutions and societal organizations is more often looked for at the regional level. In practice this brings along many problems and difficulties. For several reasons it appears not to be easy to combine the implementation strengths of municipalities and societal partners. This article presents a new approach (based on the theory of 'new regionalism') to regional implementation strength. This approach is not only about designing regional administrations, but is mainly about the factors that induce administrations as well as companies and institutions to commit themselves jointly for the region. To increase the regional implementation strength more is needed than the formation of a regional administrative structure in which municipalities do not cooperate in a non-committal manner. To induce municipalities and societal partners to commit themselves jointly to handling new tasks or new challenges it is also necessary to have a clear strategic vision on these issues that binds parties and makes them enthusiastic and that regional cooperation is rooted in a societal breeding ground. It also asks for an administrative structure that does justice to the contribution every municipality and societal partner makes to the realization of the strategy and for a democratic involvement of municipal councils and sector-based interest groups.

The Dutch Minister for the Interior Ronald Plasterk has proposed far-reaching reforms for the structuring of the Dutch nation state. These reforms include decentralising tasks to municipalities and merging several provinces. So far, these plans have met with criticism and derision. This article discusses the tensions included in Plasterk's plans and proposes several strategies for how change could still be possible.

Health is heavily determined by the conditions in which people are born, grow, live, work and age. These, in turn, are shaped by the distribution of money, power, resources and particularly by the power relations that define social structures and pattern oppression, exploitation and exclusion at local, national and global levels. The World Health Organisation (WHO) describes health inequalities as 'avoidable inequalities in health between groups of people'. But the UK is a long way from avoiding them, and gaps in health outcomes have not been narrowed in recent years.
The 2010 Marmot review revealed that people living in the poorest neighbourhoods in England will on average die seven years earlier than those in the richest. People in these areas will spend around 17 years more than their richer counterparts living with disability. The stress of living in extreme poverty may cause the early onset of age-related diseases and can take years off the lives of the urban poor.
A new study measured telomere length of poor and moderate-income whites, African-Americans, and people of Mexican descent in Detroit neighborhoods to determine the impact of living conditions on health. Telomeres cap the ends of chromosomes to maintain their integrity but shorten each time the cell divides. They have been compared to the plastic tips on the ends of shoelaces, as they protect the chromosomes from falling apart and from sticking to one another.
"Currently, residents of Detroit are struggling—whether they are white, black, or of Mexican descent—in ways that measurably impact their health negatively, including at the cellular level," says Arline Geronimus, a professor of public health at University of Michigan and a research professor at the Institute for Social Research. "Our findings suggest that any group subject to extremely difficult life conditions and contexts will bear physiological scars. These findings are consistent with the view that social inequality can affect group health by placing members of different groups in more or less adverse economic, political, social psychological, and physical environmental contexts."
Professor Paolo Vineis from the School of Public Health at Imperial College London said:
"We know that it's possible to remain healthy into old age, and this is much more likely among people with high socioeconomic status. We want to better understand why, so we can make healthy ageing a reality for everyone, not just the wealthiest parts of society."
Dr Carolyn Harper, Director of Public Health at Northern Ireland's Public Health Agency, said: "Society, health and healthcare have developed enormously in recent decades. However, the health and wellbeing enjoyed by some is not enjoyed by all, or even by a majority of the population. Inequalities are a key challenge for our society and there is evidence that the bigger the gap between the most and least deprived, the worse the health of the population as a whole. Inequalities are therefore everyone's concern."
"Some people continue to say that when we hit old age, the playing field finally levels out," said University of Arizona researcher Corey M. Abramson, an assistant professor. "It doesn't. It never levels out. Inequalities shape our life until the very end, in ways that reveal a lot about contemporary American society."

Tips on Buying a Property: Advantages and Disadvantages
The advantages of buying
Buying your own property to live in has a number of advantages over renting, however, it's not for everyone.
Before deciding whether buying is right for you, make sure you consider the benefits and disadvantages.
Benefits to buying:
- It gives you a better level of control over your home and the ability to make improvements as you see fit.
"Check starter homes in prime villages in QC and in Taguig"
- If your property increases in value, perhaps through market conditions or improvements made, the gains will be yo
urs. This is more evident in house and land properties where capital appreciation is much better than rental yield.
- Increasing the value of your home creates equity (the property value less t
- he debt you owe) and allows you to trade up to on your next move.
- Monthly mortgage payments can be very competitive compared to what you would pay to rent a comparable property, and potentially even cheaper.
- The monthly payments you make all contribute towards eventually paying off the mortgage and you owning the property outright.
- Paying cash is now the trend! Owning a property outright means that you can reduce your living costs as there will be no rent or mortgage to pay, especially useful later in life.
- Your property can be passed on when you die.
Disadvantages to buying:
- Buying a property requires you to have a deposit normally of at least 10% of the purchase price to put down.
- There are additional costs of buying which include, but are not limited to:
- Mortgage application fees (if bank financing)
- Legal costs. If you deal with licensed brokers, legal costs would be cut down to just the notarial fees
- Documentary Stamps Tac
- Registration Fee
- Transfer Tax
- Best consult a licensed broker to help with due diligence. Do not be in a hurry! If not, during the purchase process, you may find out something about the property which stops you buying it and any money you have spent on the costs above are likely to be lost.
- When you rent a property, the landlord is responsible for maintaining it for you, when you own it you have the make and pay for these yourself.
- Whilst house price values generally increase, this is not the case everywhere and price increases are not guaranteed. Ask experts about history.
- Moving home will take more effort and time if you need to sell your current home and purchase a new one.
Steps to buying a property:
If you decide that buying a property is the right thing for you to do, it's useful to understand the process and what lies ahead.
This guide will take you through all the steps involved in buying a property and help you through the maze of options.
A simple timeline of what needs to be done in the process is as follows:
- Decide what sort of property you want to purchase
- Work out how much money you will be able to spend by getting a mortgage agreement in principle
- Start viewings to find your dream property
- Find a suitable brokerage office to complete the legal work for you.
- Submit offers on the right property with aim of agreeing a sale
- Submit your mortgage application
- Let your license broker work through the conveyancing process
- Arrange for a survey to be done to check the condition of the property
- Wait for your confirmed mortgage offer to arrive
- Review the report about the property you will receive from your broker
- Send the letter of intent and deposit funds to the licensed broker
- Exchange contracts which binds both parties to the contracts and set the completion date
- Completion and the property is now yours.

Chios (mythology)
In Greek mythology, Chios /ˈkaɪ.ɒs/ was the eponym of the island of Chios. He was the son of Poseidon and an unnamed nymph, and received his name from the heavy snowfall that occurred while his mother was in labour (cf. Ancient Greek χιών chiōn "snow").[1]
Other ancient sources mention a different Chios, son or daughter of Oceanus, as an alternate eponym for the island, and also state that it could as well have taken its name from the nymph Chione, or simply from the snowy weather.[2][3]

"...[S]tandoff between Gov. Bruce Rauner and House Speaker Michael Madigan." [source]
"It's a Chicago tale that brings together Barack Obama, Mike Madigan and Ken Dunkin." [source]
What crap journalism. The sad thing is we're seeing this over and over in the media. They're going for the personalities over issues -- and values.
This conflict has nothing to do with Madigan. This is a conflict between a billionaire governor whose agenda is offensive to any Democrat -- any progressive -- on planet earth. And Dunkin's supporting it. Not to acknowledge this primary context is the equivalent of journalistic malpractice.
As Will Guzzardi says:
Anyone who wants this thing to end needs to realize that, irrespective of Madigan, there is *no way* that the Turnaround Agenda will pass the House. Insisting on it as a precondition of a budget deal is the same thing as saying "I do not want a budget deal." That's why we blame Rauner.

From The Socialist newspaper, 9 September 2015
Students under siege
How students can fight debt, cuts and sell-offs
Students face massive attacks: on our wallets, on our courses and on our future. Mary Finch, Socialist Students member and Leeds for Free Education organiser, looks at how we can fight back.
In five years, the 'Con-Dem' coalition government trebled tuition fees, tried to privatise student debt, and scrapped college EMA (Education Maintenance Allowance) grants. So when the Tories narrowly scraped a solo election victory this year, students knew it didn't bode well for us.
Only two days after the Tories won, around 4,000 students and young people were protesting in Westminster against plans for more brutal austerity. Thousands more protested on the day of the state opening of parliament.
The 2015 budget has been an absolute vindication of those fears.
It included a stealth rise in tuition fees. Universities deemed 'good' will be allowed to hike prices with inflation, which could lead to annual fees of £10,000 or more.
Means-tested maintenance gra-nts, created primarily for the poorest, are being scrapped and replaced with loans. Even the grant and loan system as it existed before was nowhere near sufficient.
Many students are forced to take on long hours of work alongside their degree.
Student poverty is a growing problem. A Guardian study recently found students are left - on average - £265 short every month. Further increasing the sky-high debt students leave university with could have a catastrophic effect on higher education.
This will only be exacerbated by freezing the income threshold for starting to repay student loans at £21,000. Graduates will pay back more each year in real terms.
And if revived plans to privatise student loans go ahead, a private company will be the debt collector. The Tories have no regard for whether students can afford to pay their debt back. A profit-driven business will have even less.
The further education budget is being cut by 24%, meaning redundancies and course closures left, right and centre. When the cost of university education is going up and up, many working class students turn to vocational education. The billions of pounds of cuts being made to further education colleges will drastically limit our access.
Housing benefit has been scrapped for 18 to 21-year-olds, and the new 'living' (minimum) wage doesn't apply if you're under 25. As victims of the crisis in housing, employment, and education, the next five years under the Tories may seem bleak for students.
But we can defeat austerity if we prepare ourselves for struggle. The fact that the Tories are ramping up attacks on students means there's renewed potential for a movement to develop.
Students have already shown we're willing to organise. In Lewisham, secondary school students organised protests and walkouts against their school being turned into an academy (a step towards privatisation). By linking with their teachers in the local branch of teachers' union NUT, they forced the governors back.
We can win similar victories nationwide - if we have the right leadership, with the right strategy.
The National Union of Students (NUS) is the biggest national student organisation. It's gained a justified reputation for selling out student struggle.
But this year, four out of the five new vice-presidents - who run the NUS day to day alongside the president - stood for election as left-wingers.
Socialist Students argued the NUS should have called a national demonstration to defend education. It could have used the huge resources, organisational weight and mass platform of the NUS to make it big and bold.
Disappointingly, the outgoing national executive council, the 30-member leadership of the NUS, decided against this. It voted only to support a demonstration called by others.
Nonetheless, the national demonstration in the autumn term is a positive starting point for bringing the movement together nationally. Especially if combined with robust local action from individual student unions and campaign groups. Socialist Students in Leeds helped organise a well-attended free education demo this year through the Leeds for Free Education campaign.
But this starting point has to be just that. Demonstrations alone aren't going to defeat the attacks.
In Quebec, in 2012, a mass movement of students defeated tuition fee rises. They went further than student demonstrations, organising occupations and student strikes, with tens of thousands of workers marching alongside them.
In 2010, when 50,000 students marched on parliament on the issue of tuition fees, Socialist Students raised the need for student strikes to take the movement forward.
With mass involvement, those tactics can be hugely successful. If a mass movement of students develops, we would argue for them again.
Our future is at stake here, so the question remains: how are we going to defend it? Whatever reforms we can win under capitalism will always be clawed back by the 1% that rules society. As long as they exist, they will continue to use society's resources for their private profit, not for everyone's needs.
A fundamental break with capitalism is necessary. That means socialism: democratic public ownership of the economy. That would allow us to collectively decide what direction we want society and the economy to take, in the interests of everyone.
We would be putting power in the hands of the ordinary people who make society run.
To achieve that, we need to unite with the workers' movement. The organised working class has immense potential power. As the ones who keep society running, turning out profits for the capitalist class, workers are in the unique position of being able to shut it down.
By linking up with the trade unions, we can build a united mass movement of students and workers. We can win the fight against austerity, privatisation and capitalism.
- Fight for free education: Scrap fees - for education that is fully funded, publicly owned, democratically run and universally free at all levels
- Defend and extend student grants: Fight to stop the abolition of maintenance grants. No to privatisation of the student loan book. Replace student loans with grants which genuinely reflect the cost of living.
- Stop all cuts and privatisation: Support trade unions taking action
- Slash rents: For genuinely affordable university accommodation. Bring privatised halls back 'in-house'. Local authority rent controls to stop spiralling housing costs for all
- A socialist society for the 99%: free from all exploitation, war and oppression
Join Socialist Students
We're socialists because we think the problems faced by students, workers and all the oppressed have roots in capitalism. We need to fundamentally transform society so it is run in the interests of the masses.
On most campuses we hold weekly meetings to discuss the politics of changing the world. Join us and get involved!

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.

Arthur Wesley Dow (1857 - 1922)
Artist, scholar and writer Arthur Wesley Dow is not known only for his painting and printmaking, but for his intense studies in composition and his broad knowledge of Japanese art.
He had studied under several notable artists, including portrait and historical painter Anna K. Freeland, and painter James M. Stone, before heading to France to enroll in the Academie Julian where he would work under Gustave Boulanger and Jules Lefebre.
Dow returned to America, hoping to work in his own style, outside the formalities of the academic art world. He relocated to Boston, where he first experienced the works of Hokusai. He was so moved by the Japanese artist's works that he sought out the curator of Japanese art at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Ernest Fenollosa, and the two quickly struck up a warm acquaintance.
Dow developed his own method of woodblock printing based on the Japanese style, but in a manner that suited his landscape works. He was appointed as an assistant curator to the collection in 1893, and began to lecture and compose teaching manuals about the concepts of composition in this style of art. His books were used widely by many schools across the nation, and served to forward his theories.
He continued to study, work, write and teach throughout the rest of his life. He worked in printing until 1907 and then returned to oil painting, relying on a bright palette and dynamic brush work.
His theory that art develops from simple concepts of abstraction was taken up by two of his most famous students, Georgia O'Keefe and Max Weber who would take abstract art to its next stages.
His prints and paintings are in the collections of many major museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Smithsonian American Art Museum.

Flicks: Frankenfish (2004)
Yappy yuppies vs. giant mutant ichthyoids? The winner: audiences everywhere.
It's not funny because it's true. It's scary because it's true. Based on the snakehead fish incident in a Crofton, Maryland pond, Frankenfish is a made for TV movie from the Sci-Fi channel. This film is one of two movies based on this real life incident, the other being the more successful Snakehead Terror.
Directed and co-written by Mark Dippé (former Industrial Light & Magic animator and director of Spawn (1997)) Frankenfish is centered deep in the Louisiana bayou where the eating is good. The only problem is: Man is on the menu. That is, if yuppies are in same biological category as humans. And if years of watching bad b-movies has taught America anything it's that yuppies have got it comin'. In spades.
Mark Dieppe's Frankenfish in an early state of FX evolution. FX by The Animation Picture Company (TAPC).
Frankenfish sports eye-popping practicals and CG effects for the main monster(s) plus flock animations of hungry lil' baby Frankenfish as they fill their precious lil' bellies with the two things that Louisiana does have in a great abundance: yuppies and swamp billies!
Mark Dieppe's movie features work from his own FX company none other than The Animation Picture Company (TAPC) whose credits include FX for S. Darko and Dead Birds.

Throughout 2017, the planet Venus has been the guardian goddess of the dawn. But now that we approach the darkest time of year, this goddess, also the goddess of love and beauty has disappeared from view. Does this mean we have to live without love for a spell? The news of the day can certainly make it seem that way. But there's a deeper mystery written in the sky right now, and it's here we should cast our imaginations.
Although it is much disputed, there's a myth that claims that Venus is the mother of Cupid. These are their Roman names~in the ancient Greek they were known as Aphrodite, in charge of wedlock and the tender passions, and Eros, love.
One of their stories is that they were chased by the monster Typhon, so they transformed themselves into fish, bound themselves together with a cord so they would not be separated, and jumped in a river to hide. The Gods were pleased with their devotion, and placed them in the sky to commemorate their love. We know these fishes as the constellation Pisces, and in the sky they appear bound together by a beautiful starry cord.
In ancient astrological tradition, the planet Venus is "exalted" in Pisces, which means its energy of love and beauty is given its greatest, or its most ideal expression here. So even though the planet of love and beauty will not be visible for us during the darkest time of the year, the constellation that exalts her ideal will be visible throughout the season.
Still, it's not enough to just transfer our sense of love and beauty from a wandering planet to a fixed star~the two represent different stages of love, one more wayward, the other more cosmic, or heavenly. In Plato's philosophical text Symposium, he described two types of love, which he called: "Aphrodite Urania" or noble love, and "Aphrodite Pandemos", a common, more base, or meaner love.
In departing from view this season, the goddess of love and beauty seems to be leaving us with a choice: For either an expression of love that is base and mean, or a love that is higher and greater.

he French-Cuban duo Ibeyi, twin sisters, fuses three continents, four languages and innumerable styles in its music. The Reeperbahn Festival brings this spirit to Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie. A homage to diversity.
Smoke hangs in the air. The lights of the dark concert hall glow dimly. Song fills the room and all other sounds fall silent. Two women take the stage, solemnly. Each lights a candle. "Welcome to my earth", this line from the song Ghosts is Lisa-Kaindé Díaz's greeting to the audience in Hamburg's Mojo Club. She looks elegant in a simple black dress, a string of wooden beads around her neck. Her twin sister Naomi sits down on a cajon. Her long dark hair curls over her shoulders. Her face is concentrated as she urges on Lisa-Kaindé's melodic piano-playing with her beats. At intervals she joins in her sister's clear singing, a nuance deeper, a little rawer.#
"Yoruba is in our veins, it's a part of us,"
The gig at the Mojo was almost three years ago, the twins' first guest appearance at the Reeperbahn Festival was in 2014. Since then, the sisters' extraordinary musical fusion has made them famous even outside the music scene. On "Ash", their new album, Chilly Gonzales guests on piano, Kamasi Washington on saxophone. The music awakens a range of associations, from R'n'B through jazz, soul, synthie sounds and hip-hop to electro. On "Ash", Ibeyi experiment more than previously with electronic beats and auto-tune. For all that, the artists' work is permeated by a spiritual note, fed mainly by the polyphonic, energy-charged Yoruba songs that they intersperse between English, Spanish and French lyrics. The Yoruba are a West African people whose language came to Cuba at the time of the slave trade. The twins inherited the tradition from their parents, and learned the traditional songs of their forefathers in a choir. "Yoruba is in our veins, it's a part of us," says Lisa-Kaindé. The name of the band is also Yoruba, Ibeyi means "twin".
The pair, now 23 years old, grew up in transit between Havana and Paris – their father is of Cuban origin, their mother French. "We wouldn't make the same music if we were only Cuban," says Lisa-Kaindé, "France was our gateway to music. We had access to YouTube, to exhibitions, to art and culture". From the time they were small, they went to his shows with father Miguel Angá Diaz – he was a virtuoso percussionist who played with such greats as the Buena Vista Social Club. He died of a heart attack when the sisters were eleven. That was when Naomi was beginning to play the cajon and Lisa-Kaindé to write her own lyrics.
"We wouldn't make the same music if we were only Cuban,"
While the band's debut album was about past, origins and loss, "Ash" is a messenger of its time. It's about racism, repression and injustice. "When the album was being created we were depressed about what was happening in the world. Nevertheless, we want to pass on hope. We want to communicate the feeling that everyone has the power to change something in the world. With our shows, we want to encourage the audience to discuss these topics," says Lisa-Kaindé.
However, that doesn't make Ibeyi's concerts in any way contemplative. Their performances are intoxicating, with singing and dancing to the point of ecstasy. It's unlikely that the style of the live performance will change much even at the Elbphilharmonie: "We'll just ask the audience in Hamburg if they want to stand up".

Day 24 billion and 52 on the canal construction front. Basically what happens is they start at 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning directly in the backyard with their 12 billion tractors and dump trucks rumbling up the whole house. Whitney turns into Negative Nelda and starts cussing at no one in particular because to cuss at someone in particular means I'd have to talk to someone who is a person… and we can't have that. It feels like the whole house is being invaded by an entire football team and their tailgating parties. Then, Whitney shakes her fist at the world (because that's what my grammy Ella used to do) and says, "World… you win!" and then proceeds to zombie her way through the day on 12 minutes of sleep. So far, so good… and the scenery is just beautiful… tons of big exotic cats using the canal bank as their urinal… (bwahahaha… get it!?) Them's the kind of jokes y'all get on 12 minutes of sleep. You are welcome!
I didn't bother to doctor up the pictures because… what's the point. The workers are walking around in mud central too… demolishing any sign of brown weed that may have turned into a green weed in the next few months. Let's take a few moments for the brown weeds of the world. I'm not sure how long it takes to bury a 4-foot tall black tube, but they've been working on it now for 7 years it seems and the tube is still sitting on top of the dirt. For serious, fellas. What ya' been doing at 6:30 in the morning!? Hanging out by the Honey Bucket most likely. Granted, this winter has not been the easiest to work in. It's been frightfully cold up this way and I can imagine hanging out in 2 feet of snow trying to dig a trench in the dirt isn't on anyone's list of favorite things to do.
In less griping news… I finally got a copy of our group Mary Poppins picture. Oh memory lane.
Happy happy birfday to my sis, Lindser Poodle Pie Honey Bunches of Oats on Thursday! You've come a long way since you were a horrible teenage babysitter and told the kids to sit down and shut up! Now, you're a great mommy! Hope you get all the tablecloths in the world on your special day! Love and all that stuff, Whitty Woo Hoo.
Hi gramma… I help you get them teethins out…
Good job, baby BoBo!

Since last year, the rumor mill has been claiming that Apple will be launching the iPhone SE 2 this year. It was first expected to go official in March and when it did not arrive at that time, rumors started swirling that it would be announced at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) event in June. However, the event has already passed, and the company did not launch the iPhone SE 2. Olixar, a well-known accessory manufacturer had started with the production of iPhone SE 2 cases when it had stable information on its existence. However, the case maker has now killed the production after claiming that the iPhone SE 2 does not exist.
Apple has never confirmed on the existence of a successor phone for the 4-inch iPhone SE that was launched in March 2016. However, initial rumors surrounding it had claimed that the iPhone SE 2 will borrowing its specs from the iPhone 8, but recent rumors had claimed it may not be major upgrade. Newer information had revealed that it would be coming with a notched display design like the iPhone X. Hence, the reports were also calling it iPhone X Mini. Now that Olixar has shared fresh information, it seems that Apple may never release iPhone SE 2.
The case maker has claimed that the probable reason why Apple decided against launching the iPhone SE 2 this year is that the company wants to focus on the large-sized iPhones arriving this year. It is speculated that Apple will be releasing 5.8-inch and 6.5-inch OLED iPhones along with 6.1-inch LCD iPhone in September this year.
