An update is long overdue, and what better time than the manic week just before Christmas! In between shopping, wrapping and writing cards I've somehow found time to make a few little hair accessories.
These corsage style flowers are inspired by the streets of London - out and about I have noticed more and more girls wearing fascinators and hair accessories as casual wear. This is not about weddings, it's about what you wear to work, study or play.
There are a range of colours available and I am more than happy to do custom orders. Mention this blog and I'll give 10% off!

Flower Product Showcase Video in Spanish
I guess this journey began last year when my team – Jenn, Sabrina, and myself – started to attend some of the industry shows. We noticed immediately that Sabrina, who speaks fluent Spanish, was using her bilingual skills often. From there, we realized that we wanted to try creating our very first floral product showcase in Spanish!
Depending on how this month goes, we may continue to create our product showcases in both English and Spanish. This month, we highlight our wholesale clematis – learn about the growing process, vase life, care information and fun facts about our boutique grower.
Let us know your thoughts on this month's videos!!

The story of Felix the Cat
There is dispute to the origin of Felix the Cat, whether he was from the creation of Pat Sullivan, the owner of the Felix character, or American animator Otto Messmer, Sullivan's lead animator.
In the 1920's, the Felix character gained sudden popularity. Felix got his own comic strip, drawn by Messmer and merchandising Felix goods became hot. By the late 1920's, Felix popularity faded, just before the start of sound cartoons. In 1953, the Felix cartoons were airing on American TV with a redesigned character look.

5 Things Good and Bad about the Journalism Conference #SDJT10
If you want to talk about the future of your profession – you gotta be in the present, not the past!
I'm still a "stranger" in the world of journalism, trying to find my place there. Still, interestingly, the things most interesting for me happened on the back channel.
Here's what I took from the "Süddeutscher Journalistentag":
- Useful information on setting up business as a Journalist by Wolfgang Kiesel (his presentation online) that will come in handy once I'm out of university
- An interesting discussion of whether interviews need to be authorized after they have taken place. I have no idea on media law, so that was great. When the panel endet, it continued here and on Twitter.
- The CrossMedia discussion, meaning the very last Panel with Björn Eichstädt (Storymaker GmbH), Ibrahim Evsan (Author), Amir Kassaei (DDB Group Germany) and Björn Sievers (Focus Online). As I was hoping, the panel rocked, especially due to Kassaei's provocative statements towards the Journalists present. Here are some favorites:
– "Most journalism and marketing is irrelevant to consumers"
– "Digital and the internet are not media, they are the electricity of the 21st century. If you don't realize that, you will never make good online journalism"
– "If you depend on advertisement to pay for your content, you will lose. That's also true for google!"
– "Content needs to be so relevant it does not have to rely on advertisement
– And finally: "We need to rethink the very idea of what we are doing? What is quality journalism today and what do users need?"
4. My "find" of the day: Richard Gutjahr, a journalist at the BR (public media) who traveled through the US about half a year ago and visited dying newspapers. Smart speaker with good ideas, a sense of people and charisma – I'll make sure to keep him on my radar.
5. Finally, as most events of this kind, networking with other journalists was probably the most valuable and long-lasting positive of the meet-up.
Considering this, it is even more sad that communication among participants wasn't encouraged more!
What needs to be improved in conferences like this one:
1. Generally: The location was rather noisy, not a good environment for panel talks.
2. A lot of conversation among people who never before met each other happened over Twitter. Valuable information was completely lost to the rest of the audience.
3. There were no name tags (yeah, they're annoying, but they help to get to know people ;)) – and shame on me: I failed to get business cards in advance.
4. There were no live streams of the panels for an internet audience who could not be there to participate – not to mention that it makes for additional PR!
5. There was no visible back channel like a Twitter wall behind the panelists or at least somewhere in the lobby. Here the organization missed out on a feedback opportunity that could have made for a better conference.
Monitor the back-channel! Better even, use it!
The first "Online" panel was full at the beginning. Soon it became clear that the panelists were completely hyped up on (Californian) technology but the conversation about whether these tools could change journalism lacked substance. The back-channel grew impatient. Björn Eichstädt bluntly stated in a Tweet that nobody was learning anything. One rather boring question and a few minutes after that, the room actually emptied. Having a back-channel and actually paying attention to it, might have changed the situation.
Instead of reacting to the problems and changing the agenda, the second "Online" panel with the same people, focused on exactly the same topic. I'm afraid hardly anybody bothered to go this time.
Bottom Line: Potential – Lost!
What these problems showed me is: Most people were trying to talk about something that they haven't understood yet – and that is not part of their lives!
That is an enormous loss of potential, especially since the panelist setup was good, for some panels great! While the "classic" panels on research and ethics seem to have been fairly substantial, most of the "modern" panels (online, local) did not live up to my expectations. I am very grateful for the people I have met, the conversations I had and the information I was able to gather for my career – and all that at no cost! However, I am sad to say that I think very small steps, if any at all, towards the future of journalism in Germany have been taken today in Mainz. Do we still have to catch up??
Update: @happyarts's Tweet suggests so. During the conference he wrote on the silence of those journos on Twitter: "They are all explaining Twitter to the others, somebody has to do it" 😉
Maybe I am being too harsh. You don't think this was the place to discuss the future of journalism? Is there a great panel I missed?
What are your thoughts about the #SDJT10 ?

Kevin Glenn's performance against Hamilton was too good to not give him another start, Mike Benevides said Saturday (Files)
Gee, well, let's see…. Kevin Glenn was in Toronto in advance of his teammates Saturday. Mike Benevides was too. It's kind of hard not to connect the dots. Finally, the coach of the Lions stated the obvious for the media throng that awaited them in the centre of the universe.
The starting quarterback of the last seven weeks will be the starter behind centre Sunday against the Toronto Argonauts.
Benevides said that he watched Lulay practice tape on the plane flight to Toronto Friday and it made him wonder about his decision. But when Glenn began to respond favourably to treatment for his thigh contusion, there was only one way to go.
"The two interceptions (against Hamilton) weren't on him," Benevides said, listing off the reasons why he will stay with Glenn. "Kevin's command was outstanding. Chemistry and momentum, let's keep that going because the receivers are used to him. We'll buy more time for Travis."
There's no structured plan as yet to get Lulay in the game and Benevides admitted it is something that needs to happen. But it will happen, and Glenn said when it does it will not be a problem.
The rest of the roster moves on what was one of the busiest roster-juggling weeks in awhile went as expected, with Josh Johnson and Dante Marsh put on the one-game injured list and Jermarcus Hardrick went to the six-game. Andre Ramsey and Andrew Harris will be scratched off the 46-man roster.

Atlantic Public Media is pleased to announce that for the first time we were able to offer scholarship support to attend the Transom Story Workshop. We are currently providing funds to more than half the Fall 2015 Workshop class.
Our goal is to make the Workshop a realistic option for people who have been unable to attend due to the cost — with a focus on diverse voices, people of color, and those who have been historically under-represented as makers of public media.
We are also happy and grateful to share more good news: This American Life will be providing major support for our Story Workshop Scholarship Fund starting in 2016.
Thanks to This American Life, as well as sponsorship from MailChimp, a few individual major donors, and contributions from alumni and other supporters, we will be able to offer several accepted applicants scholarships at various levels, removing barriers to entry so that ability to pay will no longer be an issue. Applications for Spring 2016 Story Workshop and Scholarship fund are now open.
The Fall 2015 session began on September 28th. Nine students, a mix of Americans at home and abroad, as well as two international students, arrived in Woods Hole from the South, the Midwest, the West Coast, Alaska, Trinidad, Ireland, India, and France. We look forward to sharing their experience and work on Transom.
You can find out more about our eight-week Story Workshop here:
You can find out about our Scholarship (and donation link should you be so inclined) here:
We thank all our donors for helping us maintain a diverse student body and offering support to people who might not otherwise be able to afford the Workshop.
If you'd like to be notified about all our Workshop news, please write to us at info [at] transom.org and we will add you to our Workshop email list.

Of course I agree with you that science cannot describe or account for
everything. Nor would I ever argue that we do not understand by science does not
exist. But science is just beginning. I hesitate now to attribute what we cannot
now understand by science to gods or souls. Instead, to me the proper response
is just ignorance. In what we don't know, I see no evidence whatsoever of gods
or souls.
I certainly did not express myself well about death and Christians. I suspect
Christians are not fearful of dying because the vast majority believe at the
Pearly Gate they will go to heaven. If St. Peter is there sure enough, a much
higher percentage will go to hell than think they will. I was wondering, if
Christians lost their faith, would they have a greater fear of death? You
suggest this is true.
Best wishes, Will

Is the FDA and the government killing our pets? In a sane world, consumers would have access to tort law and sue companies that manufacture, distribute and sell dangerous products. But government regulation protects businesses from lawsuits by negating the concept of product liability. Consumers shouldn't demanding a government edict that a product is safe, they should be demanding the right to sue companies.
While the FDA continues to dilly-dally -- searching endlessly for the precise mechanism in chicken jerky treats from China that is causing illness and death in thousands of pets in the U.S. and elsewhere – pet owners are starting to demand action. And it's no wonder, since the first FDA warning on these popular but potentially deadly treats was issued a very long four and a half years ago, in September 2007. Earlier this year, pet owners and a U.S. Senator from Ohio urged the FDA to show a sense of urgency in investigating the treats at issue, and getting them pulled from store shelves....But while the FDA seems content to remain clueless about what's causing the problem, pet owners and veterinarians in the U.S., Canada and Australia have their own suspicions. These include: Ongoing melamine contamination, Irradiation of ingredients in jerky treats, An as-yet unidentified chemical preservative, Diethyelene glycol (a toxin)...

Title: Event Log Imperfection Patterns for Process Mining
Presented by Arthur HM ter Hofstede
Based on joint work with Suriadi Suriadi, Rob Andrews and Moe Wynn
An essential component of a process mining exercise is the ability
to properly prepare the log(s) for analysis. This entails detecting various
types of errors and deficiencies as the quality of the analysis heavily
depends on the quality of the event log. Unfortunately this is not a trivial task
and much depends on the skills and experiences of the analyst(s) involved.
In order to more systematically approach log preparation and to
reduce the dependency on specialist skills, a set of patterns is proposed.
These patterns aim to capture the various types of issues that may be encountered,
the way they may manifest themselves, how they may influence analysis results,
and potential remedies to counter these issues.

The Herald
Pamela Shumba Senior Reporter
THE Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) is compiling a list of war veterans who were dispossessed of farms by members by the G40 cabal during the reign of former President Cde Robert Mugabe. ZNLWVA spokesperson Cde Douglas Mahiya yesterday said some war veterans around the country lost their farms after the then Minister of Lands and Rural Resettlement Douglas Mombeshora, who was part of the G40 cabal, issued offer letter to other people to occupy their farms.
In an interview yesterday, Cde Mahiya said they wanted order to be restored so that farmers could have their pieces of land returned. He said provincial leaders will compile the lists of the affected war veterans and engage the Government to address the issue.
"The G40 cabal was against war veterans due to selfish reasons. Our members were subjected to abuse and unfair treatment.
"A substantial number of war veterans lost their farms in 2015 because the then Lands Minister Douglas Mombeshora was issuing offer letters to people to come and occupy pieces of land that we got during the land reform programme in 2000.
"I am one of the war veterans who were affected after people came to my farm in Mashonaland East with an offer letter from Mombeshora. I refused to vacate the farm and occupied a small portion. Those people are still at my farm and I have no power to evict them," said Cde Mahiya.
He said it was important for the Government to address the issue because war veterans deserved to be treated with respect.
"Farms have become bankable assets, but some of us will die poor because of selfish individuals who were using their political muscle to oppress us. When we went to war, the main purpose was to fight for land, but it's unfortunate that the G40 people viewed us as useless people, yet we're an important group of people in society.
"We want to do away with the dependency syndrome. It's therefore important for us to fully own our farms and work for our families and the nation," said Cde Mahiya.
Last month, President Emmerson Mnangagwa said Operation Restore Legacy, which ushered in a new political dispensation, was in line with the constitutional mandate of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (ZDF).
He said the political developments that saw him coming to power following the resignation of the former President came after the G40 cabal had created a constitutional crisis in the country, taking advantage of their proximity to the then First Family via the former First Lady Grace Mugabe.
He said the situation had deteriorated to the extent that the G40 cabal, fronted mainly by former Vice President Phelekezela Mphoko, Professor Jonathan Moyo, Mrs Mugabe, Saviour Kasukuwere, Ignatius Chombo, Kudzanai Chipanga and Patrick Zhuwao, was usurping constitutionally guarded Executive, Legislative and Judicial roles.

#NaBloPoMo Day 8 - Why do I blog?
I started this blog in 2009 - a time when blogging wasn't a great phenomenon it is now. My knowledge was also so limited that I only knew about blogger and promptly made my blog on it. I just wanted to explore what blogging was all about. The only thing behind the venture was the pure love for writing. Even today, what keeps me hooked to blogging and I keep coming back even after breaks is the love of putting down what I think. And there's nothing more satisfying than a well written piece. (Sometimes we do run into our old posts and wonder - Did I really write this?)
Blogging has changed so much since I started here. There are ways to drive traffic to your blog, key words to worry about, blogoversaries to be planned and give-aways to attract more people. I have never celebrated a blog anniversary or planned a give away. But that's just because when I started my blog, social media wasn't an overarching, dominating presence in our lives. Well! It doesn't interest me even now. Although, now I know a lot more about how blogging and promoting content works, I still refuse to get into the rat race. I am also active in a lot of chatting forums, including the amazing @blogchatter where we discuss various aspects of blogging and learn a lot in the process. We often talk about the right frequency of blogging and how we all struggle with our every day routine to find the time, inspiration and the inclination to write and post regularly. I always think we make a big deal of it. Unless you blog for professional reasons or for your clients where you need to ensure a certain frequency, worrying about putting a post a week is futile. I agree with Purba Ray when she said, during BNLF, that it's best to write when inspiration hits you. Otherwise, I feel, it's all forced labour. And if you truly love writing, you will be drawn to it sooner or later.
So, yeah - the love for writing still remains the primary reason why I blog. And I will write only when I have something worthwhile to add here. Let me know what are your reasons to blog. I'd love to hear about them.

Hi Suman. Heartfelt and sincere feelings put across so simply. I think its very relevant that one writes for the love of it, forced or uninspired matter will eventually be relegated its place-trash! Good one :)ReplyDelete
Hi Suman. Hearfelt and sincere thoughts simply delivered! Agree with you that one should write only for the love of it. Uninspired forced writing eventually will get relegated to its correct place-trash. Good one and happy writing :)ReplyDelete
Suman! I also started my blog in 2009 and again on blogger because that is all I knew :D This could very well be my post :) The difference is now I do appreciate the power of social media and the idea of kicking procrastination :)ReplyDelete
And what can I say blogchatter it is almost as good as me :P
Thanks for your comments, ladies! IT's encouragement like this that keeps bloggers going! :)Delete
Great post! Writing for me is liberating. Many a times what I can write, I can't share in person. When I write, I feel I am talking to someone and I wish to leave a smile, something to be happy about or may be a thought to reflect upon :)ReplyDelete
Write for the love of writing . That's what makes this blog so special.ReplyDelete

A charity legend is calling it a day.
Retired Cumbernauld fireman Jimmy Rexter has been collecting empty Barr's bottles for the last 35 years and donating the deposits to charity.
Jimmy (82), who has collected more than two million bottles and raised over £130,000 for various charities – most recently to help build a cinema at Glasgow Royal Hospital for Sick Children – has been forced into 'retirement' as Barr's is scrapping its long-running deposit scheme at the end of January.
He said: "I'd like to thank everyone who has supported me over the years, and also Sanctuary Cumbernauld who have provided the use of a lockup so I could store the bottles."
In August soft drinks giant AG Barr announced it would no longer be offering a return on its empty bottles, which most recently was at a rate of 30p per bottle. The bottle deposit scheme has run for a century and become an important childhood memory of many Scots.
It says this change is due to an increase in home recycling meaning fewer bottles being returned – as low as one in 12 – and it also announced a £5 million investment in new manufacturing processes for its glass bottles.
Until the last week in January, Jimmy is determined to collect as many of the 'glass cheques' as possible in a last push to raise the maximum amount for charity.
To contact Jimmy about providing bottles call him on 07983837680.

Time Travel Tuesday | Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
Written by Julie Boyd | Photography by Julie Boyd
This visit to Yellowstone National Park was in conjunction with my trip to Grand Teton National Park back in 2011. Since my family and I had already explored Yellowstone in depth a few years before, we decided to only take a brief stop in the park on our way to Glacier National Park. Don't get me wrong, we could have easily spent a few days exploring this enormous park further, however, we ultimately decided that we wanted to spend more time in a new place (Glacier).
Yellowstone is home to some pretty spectacular scenery, which is mostly a result of being located on an active volcanic hot spot. The Yellowstone Caldera is home to hundreds of geothermic features, including the brilliantly orange and blue Grand Prismatic Spring, and the towering Old Faithful Geyser. Seeing these features are definitely something that should be on everyone's bucket list!
Another sight not to be missed in this park is the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone. The canyon has been altered by erosion and hydro-thermal activity, which has given the rocks the brilliant yellow and orange hues seen below. There are many trails and vantage points along the canyon, so I recommend checking multiple locations out to see each unique perspective.
Wildlife is also something that Yellowstone is know for, as herds of bison and elk roam throughout the park. It is also not uncommon to see bighorn sheep, wolves, and bears when visiting. Please remember to treat the wildlife with caution and respect – in recent years I have heard many reports of people doing insane things like putting a bison calf in their car trunk, or trying to pet a bull elk.
There are many other places in the park to explore like Mammoth Hot Springs, Mount Washburn, and Tower Falls (to name a few). Brian and I will be going next August, so we are really looking forward to spending more time in the park, and reporting back with tons of pictures and stories about our adventure. Until next time!

Making his point, step by step by step by...
Protester walks to oppose Citizens United
ALBANY — A lot of time has been spent discussing the ins and outs of the Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling, and now an Iraq war veteran will be wearing out several pairs of running shoes in an effort to overturn a decision that he believes is bad for democracy.
State politicians, though, seem to be ignoring Ken Ogan. The 32-year-old native of Albuquerque, N.M., made his way to Albany on Tuesday as part of what he calls the "Walkupy 50" initiative. Inspired by the Occupy Wall Street movement and his dismay over Citizens United, Ogan is walking across the country, with plans to eventually visit each state capitol. He's hoping to convince enough state legislatures to push for a constitutional convention to overturn the decision, which removed limits on political advertising as long as the ads are not directly in coordination with a given candidate.
The Citizens United ruling, which President Barack Obama took the unusual step of directly criticizing, has been characterized by its critics as a way to give monied interests carte-blanche to support favored political candidates. Supporters, though, say it simply reaffirms the right of free speech.
Ogan started his walk in June in Camden, Maine. His mother is accompanying him in a support truck; after walking about 12 miles per day, they stay in campgrounds.
Ogan's girlfriend back in New Mexico e-mails him lists of state lawmakers as he approaches each capital. He plans to come back to Albany's Capitol on Wednesday.
So far, though, he's gotten almost no response from lawmakers in Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.
Why the lack of interest? "Our executive and legislative branches are extremely vested in the system," he said.
Along the way, Ogan says he gets a fair amount of thumbs-ups and supportive comments, along with just a handful of people who disagree with him. Lots of folks he encounters, though, don't know about Citizens United.
Describing himself as socially liberal but fiscally conservative, Ogan said he used to lean a bit toward Republicans but is now squarely in the "unaffiliated" category.
When he strolled into Capitol Park with his mother on Tuesday afternoon, another long-distance walker — also an Army veteran dressed in fatigues — greeted him and offered to accompany him for a while, but wandered off after a few minutes.
Ogan said he left the Army in 2008 after six years, including service in Iraq during 2003 and 2004. He drove a Humvee, often between Fallujah and Ramadi.
Along with the "Walkupy" sign strapped to his small backpack, he's got his Army helmet with photos of four buddies who died over there — a reminder, he said, of what he's walking for.

Many times a homeowner might feel relieved being out from under the obligation of a mortgage they can't afford even though the property was lost due to foreclosure or short sale. If a lender cancels or forgives debt, a taxpayer must include the cancelled amount in their income for tax purposes depending on the circumstances. The tax significance could be serious.
Congress enacted the Mortgage Relief Act specifically to help homeowners who might be affected in the housing crisis that started approximately in 2007. The Act expired on 12/31/12 but was temporarily extended by Congress until December 31, 2013.
This relief only applies to a taxpayers' principal residence which does not include second homes and investment property. The maximum amount is limited to $2 million of mortgage debt forgiveness or $1 million if filing separately.
Another provision is that the debt relief is limited to acquisition indebtedness used to buy, build or improve the property. It excludes cash equity loans whether made separately or in a refinance of the original mortgage.
Due to the serious consequences involved in short sales and foreclosures, it is advised that homeowners faced with this possibility should seek expert advice from their legal and tax professionals.
The Mortgage Forgiveness Relief Act of 2007 was passed by Congress to avoid additional financial hardship that some homeowners might experience due to a foreclosure or short sale. The law affects mortgage relief that occurs from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2012.
Normally, IRS considers partial or total debt forgiven by a lender to be treated as ordinary income. This not only affects foreclosures but even short sales where only part of the debt is forgiven would trigger additional taxes for the homeowner. There are exceptions that apply such as bankruptcy and insolvency.
The forgiveness is only applicable to taxpayers' principal residence and only acquisition debt used to buy, build or improve the home. The additional cash taken out when refinancing a home will not be eligible for the relief unless it is used for capital improvements.
The lender is required to submit a 1099 form to IRS and provide the homeowner a copy who will file the forgiven amount on Form 982 as part of their 1040 tax return. How this affects your individual situation may differ due to other circumstances and advice from a tax professional is recommended.

Q&A: David Kirby, author of 'Animal Factory'
David Kirby's timing looked perfect. His book, "Animal Factory: The Looming Threat of Industrial Pig, Dairy and Poultry Farms to Humans and the Environment" (St. Martin's Press, 2010) was released just as Congress was holding hearings on legislation that would ban the use of antibiotics in livestock. A growing movement of consumers was demanding to know more about where their food came from.
But since the book hit the shelves in March, Kirby admits it has been harder than expected to get a serious conversation going about how to fix the problems caused by factory farming. Federal policies that support concentrated animal feeding operations, better known as CAFOs, are technical, and the politicians who support them are seemingly unmovable. "The subsidies at stake are huge. There are anti-competitive measures," he said. "It's an interesting story. I can't figure it out."
Over coffee on Wednesday, Kirby, an award-winning investigative reporter, made the case for why Americans, especially food lovers, should join the conversation. Edited excerpts follow.
-- Jane Black
How did writing this book affect what you eat?
I eat a lot less meat.
Want to expand on that?
Before I started working on the book, I would go to the supermarket and buy meat. I was completely ignorant about where my food came from. I knew that it wasn't Farmer Joe down the road. But I never put together the idea that if it weren't from there, it wouldn't be from a real farm somewhere. I pictured mechanization. But I didn't picture what was really going on.
And let's face it, you go to the store and buy farm-fresh eggs. There are pictures of cows on pasture in the dairy section. So I made decisions more on health than about the environment or animal welfare.
People who pay attention to food are already vaguely uneasy about meat. But as we rev up for grilling season, it's understandable that they'd want to put those fears aside. What would you say to them as we approach Memorial Day?
The fact is that for almost everyone, there's going to be something about that animal's life that's going to offend you. It may be the actual conditions, the lack of fresh air, for example. Or it might be the denial of all kinds of things the animals should do but are not allowed to do.
Or it might be that you are worried about the noxious fumes, the ammonia, the methane and hydrogen sulfide. Ammonia can rise up from these waste lagoons and travel for miles and miles and be redeposited into a waterway where it feeds algae blooms and kills fish.
Or you might be worried about local communities and family farms that are being severely impacted by factory farms. We have a lot of debt and poverty and drug addiction and suicide in the most bucolic parts of the country because families can't earn a living any more. The old family lines of farmers are disappearing.
And then even if you don't care about the animals or the environment or rural communities, you'll want to think about the food you are eating and feeding to your family. It's not the things that are in the meat that shouldn't be there; it's the nutrients that are missing because the animals are raised in this way.
Of all the shocking statistics and stories in the book, what is the one that affected you most?
I visited 20 states. I saw things I never thought I would see. I smelled things I never thought I would smell in my life. But one night, I was at a small family farm in Illinois that raised pigs. Across the street was a pig factory.
It was at night. The workers had gone home. And as soon as it got dark, you could hear the screams and the squealing and the crying. It was not like one pig over there. Like hundreds.
Did something happen?
No. This was just a night on a factory farm. Because the pigs get bigger and bigger and the pens don't. And they fight. It sounded like children being tortured. And it didn't stop. It was the most haunting and most tragic sound I've ever heard. And I think it was because it didn't stop. If there had been a commotion in the barn and they all started making noise, I might have forgotten about it. But this was arresting. That tells me these are really unhealthy animals, that there are too many animals and that they really are stressed out.
What would you like to see the government do?
Obama promised to do several things on the campaign trail and they are pretty conservative things. We need to rein in CAFOs and make it more difficult for them to operate like they are operating. We need to mandate that they give the animals more space. Prohibit antibiotic use; essentially, make what they do harder. The administration also needs to crack down on anti-competitve practices. These big companies, like Tyson, are monopolies, basically. And finally, we need to vastly increase the number of small processing plants.
There is the business and pollution side. The things we need to fight. And then on the other side we need to help small and family farmers get into the market and get distributed -- like taking away subsidies from big farmers and give them to the small farmers.
Lots of people have come to Washington and suggested that. But the fact is, it's going to be tough to wrest subsidies from big farmers to give to smaller, less powerful ones. That's not how it works in Washington.
I know. Obama tried to cut back on subsidies and the Democrats said no. But the administration is getting rid of some things. So, for example, if you don't personally manage the farm, you can't get the subsidies anymore. And the USDA will begin sharing data with the IRS, to make sure that farmers are not getting around the income eligibility cap by breaking their operations into small corporations on paper so that they can remain eligible for subsidies.
Won't it also require some sort of cultural change?
Absolutely. It amazes me. We don't always buy the cheapest car or the cheapest clothes. And yet with food, you proudly drive right across town to a big-box store because something is on sale. We research consumer products. We research the gas we put in our cars because we want our cars to run well. We'll go online for hours and hours to find the best camera or even an environmentally friendly product. And then we go to the store and buy the cheapest food.

A pangram (Greek: παν γράμμα{{#invoke:Category handler|main}}, pan gramma, "every letter") or holoalphabetic sentence for a given alphabet is a sentence using every letter of the alphabet at least once. Pangrams have been used to display typefaces, test equipment, and develop skills in handwriting, calligraphy, and keyboarding.
The best known English pangram is "The quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog." It has been used since at least the late 19th century, was utilized by Western Union to test Telex / TWX data communication equipment for accuracy and reliability, and is now used by a number of computer programs (most notably the font viewer built into Microsoft Windows) to display computer fonts.
An example in another language is the German Victor jagt zwölf Boxkämpfer quer über den großen Sylter Deich{{#invoke:Category handler|main}}, containing all letters used in German, including every umlaut ( ä, ö, ü) plus the ß. It has been used since before 1800.
Short pangrams in English are more difficult to come up with and tend to use uncommon words, because the English language uses some letters (especially vowels) much more frequently than others. Longer pangrams may afford more opportunity for humor, cleverness, or thoughtfulness.[1] In a sense, the pangram is the opposite of the lipogram, in which the aim is to omit one or more letters. A perfect pangram contains every letter of the alphabet only once and can be considered an anagram of the alphabet; it is the shortest possible pangram. An example is the phrase "Cwm fjord bank glyphs vext quiz" (cwm{{#invoke:Category handler|main}}, a loan word from Welsh, means a steep-sided valley, particularly in Wales).
Logographic scripts
Logographic scripts, that is, writing systems composed principally of logograms, cannot be used to produce pangrams in the literal sense, since they are radically different from alphabets or other phonetic writing systems. In such scripts, the total number of signs is large and imprecisely defined, so producing a text with every possible sign is impossible. However, various analogies to pangrams are feasible, including traditional pangrams in a romanization. In Japanese, although typical orthography uses kanji (logograms), pangrams are instead required to contain every kana (syllabic character) when written out in kana alone: the Iroha is a classic example.
In addition, it is possible to create pangrams that demonstrate certain aspects of Logographic characters.
- Chinese:
- The Thousand Character Classic is a 1000-character poem in which each character is used exactly once, but it does not include all Chinese characters.
- The single character 永{{#invoke:Category handler|main}} (permanence) incorporates every basic stroke used to write Chinese characters exactly once, as described in the Eight Principles of Yong.
Self-enumerating pangrams
A self-enumerating pangram is a pangrammatic autogram, or a sentence that inventories its own letters, each of which occurs at least once. The first ever example was produced by Rudy Kousbroek, a Dutch journalist and essayist, who publicly challenged Lee Sallows, a British recreational mathematician resident in the Netherlands, to produce an English translation of his Dutch pangram. In the sequel, Sallows built an electronic "pangram machine", that performed a systematic search among millions of candidate solutions. The machine was successful in identifying the following 'magic' translation:[2][3][4]
- This pangram contains four As, one B, two Cs, one D, thirty Es, six Fs, five Gs, seven Hs, eleven Is, one J, one K, two Ls, two Ms, eighteen Ns, fifteen Os, two Ps, one Q, five Rs, twenty-seven Ss, eighteen Ts, two Us, seven Vs, eight Ws, two Xs, three Ys, & one Z.
Pangrams in literature
Pangram "The quick brown fox..." and searches of a shorter pangram are the cornerstone of a plot of the novel by Mark Dunn "Ella Minnow Pea".[5] Search successfully comes to the end with finding "Pack my box with five dozen liquor jugs".

Review: Maximum androgen blockade does not confer additional survival benefit to androgen suppression in prostate cancerPDF
ACP J Club. 2001 Jan-Feb;134:23. doi:10.7326/ACPJC-2001-134-1-023
Source Citation
Prostate Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group. Maximum androgen blockade in advanced prostate cancer: an overview of the randomised trials. Lancet. 2000 Apr 29;355:1491-8. [PubMed ID: 10801170] (All 2001 articles were reviewed for relevancy, and abstracts were last revised in 2006.)
In men with prostate cancer, is maximum androgen blockade (MAB) better than androgen suppression (AS) alone for prolonging survival?
Data sources
Studies were identified by searching computerized databases, trial registers, meeting abstracts, and reference lists and by contacting investigators and pharmaceutical companies.
Study selection
Studies were selected if they were randomized trials that began before 1991 and compared MAB (AS plus an antiandrogen, such as nilutamide, flutamide, or cyproterone acetate) with AS alone and if the treatment was given for ≥ 1 year.
Data extraction
Information was requested for each patient on stage of disease, age at randomization, date of randomization, treatment allocation, date of last follow-up, date of death, and cause of death.
Main results
31 trials met inclusion criteria; individual patient data were obtained for 27 trials (8275 men). Analysis was by intention to treat. 12 trials evaluated flutamide (4803 men), 8 trials evaluated nilutamide (1688 men), and 7 trials evaluated cyproterone acetate (1784 men). The total mortality rate was 70.4% in patients receiving MAB and 72.4% in patients receiving AS alone (P = 0.11). The 5-year overall survival rates are in the Table. No significant heterogeneity existed among the studies according to patient age group or disease stage. A survival benefit was shown in studies for which nilutamide or flutamide was used as the antiandrogen (P = 0.005), and a decrease in survival occurred in trials that used cyproterone acetate (P = 0.04) (Table).
In men with advanced prostate cancer, the addition of an antiandrogen to androgen suppression alone does not confer a statistically significant survival benefit at 5 years.

Table. Maximum androgen blockade (MAB) vs androgen suppression (AS) alone for overall survival at 5 years in advanced prostate cancer (individual patient data from 27 trials)*
|MAB (all 3 drugs)
|1.8% (-0.7 to 4.3)
|Not significant
|MAB (nilutamide or flutamide)
|2.9% (0.4 to 5.4)
|35 (19 to 250)
|MAB (cyproterone acetate)
|2.8% (-1.9 to 7.5)
|Not significant
*ABR = absolute benefit reduction; RBR = relative benefit reduction. Other abbreviations defined in Glossary; RBI, RBR, NNT, NNH, and CI calculated from data in article.
The Prostate Cancer Trialists' Collaborative Group (PCTCG) study shows that adding a nonsteroidal antiandrogen (NSAA) to androgen suppression produces a statistically significant increase in long-term survival over AS alone. The real question is whether the difference of 2.9% (CI 0.4% to 5.4%) is clinically significant. The answer is, "probably not."
The issue hinges on symptoms and quality of life. Adding an NSAA to medical or surgical castration, thereby achieving MAB, increases the likelihood of side effects from treatment. Men who have been castrated experience menopausal-type symptoms. NSAA drugs add the risk for further, predominantly gastrointestinal, toxicity. A recent, literature-based meta-analysis showed that about 10% of patients receiving MAB stop treatment because of side effects; the percentage for patients receiving AS alone is 4% (1). The evidence on overall quality of life is both limited and conflicting (2, 3). Given such evidence, it is difficult to justify the additional expense of the NSAA: A year's supply of flutamide at a dose of 750 mg per day costs £1100.
MAB was introduced with high hopes, but the measurable benefits are far less than originally predicted. Pathophysiologic theories may inform clinical practice, but they cannot, in the presence of clear evidence to the contrary, dictate it.
Adding an NSAA to castration may slightly improve the chances of a man with metastatic prostate cancer surviving a further 5 years. However, the risks for increased toxicity and, possibly, impaired quality of life have to be set against this minor benefit.

Police seize more than 100 pounds of pot; 2 Charlotte men arrested
A drug bust Friday night during busy rush hour traffic on Interstate 77 handled by York County, S.C., and federal drug agents netted more than 100 pounds of marijuana, and the arrest of two Charlotte men, police and jail records show.
Miguel Angel Nieto, 27, and Francisco Antonio Rivas-Ortiz, 25, are each being held without bond in the York County jail on charges of trafficking more than 100 pounds of marijuana.
Felony trafficking over 100 pounds carries a mandatory 25 years in prison, if convicted.
Officers with the York County Multijurisdictional Drug Enforcement Unit, working with the federal Drug Enforcement Administration, stopped two cars leaving Interstate 77 at Exit 82 late Friday afternoon, said Marvin Brown, commander of the York County drug unit.
A drug dog hit on the cars, and the marijuana was found and seized, Brown said.
The street value of the marijuana is at least $100,000.
Police also seized three cellphones.

December 1, 2018 11:19:42 PM
Tonight, a month or so after the shootings at a synagogue in Pennsylvania (remember those? I didn't think so.), I went to an "interfaith memorial service" at a synagogue about five minutes from my house in a midsized Massachusetts city.
I lived four blocks from that synagogue for 16 years, and you could see the back of it from the small corner store where I bought beer, frozen pizza and newspapers. We waked my father in a funeral home just a block from that synagogue.
Over the years, working as a reporter in the city where I live, I found myself in the synagogue from time to time, covering an event, a service, one of the holidays, things any reporter covers every so often at synagogues and Methodist churches and Catholic churches. Once a decade or so, some yo-yo with a complete misunderstanding of the gospel of Jesus Christ would vandalize the place, paint a swastika on the wall, and I covered that, too, including the expected sorrowful, angry interview with the rabbi and a mushy quote about "diversity" from the mayor.
"Keep that kind of story short," a barnacled old editor once told me. "You don't want to encourage the little (redacted) who did it."
Which I did.
Tonight, I put on khaki pants, what my mother would call "a nice shirt," and a dark-green tweed jacket. I dug the gold brocade yarmulke out of my sock drawer. I'm not Jewish, but I acquired the yarmulke under boring circumstances some years ago and it's come in handy on some news stories, at Jewish funerals or weddings, and when invited to a friend's house for Passover.
Not that you to need to bring your own yarmulke to the temple. They have a cardboard box of cheap ones for the non-Jewish to borrow. But I like having my own.
"Hey, you're not playing with a kid here," I say when one of the members of the congregation offers me my choice from the cardboard box. "I got my own yarmulke."
Then I slap the thing on my head with a flourish, and find a seat.
The memorial service was exactly what I expected. You had your elderly congregation. You had your politicians, all of them at least nominally Christian. You had your professional battlers for tolerance.
And you had me.
And, for the first time, you had two security guards in the lobby of the place.
They weren't those joke security guards, either, like the fat guy in the uniform shirt who chases the junkies out of the dollar store parking lot. They had pistols on their hips.
In my two decades of semi-involvement with that synagogue, I'd never seen armed guards on the premises. I lived in that neighborhood for 16 years, and because I was young and single, I was on the streets at every hour of the day and night, coming home from a night shift, coming home from a bar.
I nodded at them and smiled, and they looked me over, and they nodded and smiled and, as I declined the loaner yarmulke, putting on the one I've owned for years, I heard one of them talking to the other about an upcoming assignment he had at a local bar this coming weekend.
I lived in that neighborhood for 16 years. I've lived in this country for 61 years.
This is where I live now.

I spent the greater part of the last three days trying to get my Christmas decor in from the garage and actually set up.
My Christmas Decorating Efficiency was greatly thwarted by a wreath dismantling imp and a giddy Christmas light strand stealer.
Lil Chick is fascinated with wreaths. I can just see the questions in her brain: "WHY in there a big circle on the wall? WHY are those little colored balls stuck to that big circle on the wall? WHY are there some sticks poking into that big circle on the wall?"
And WHAT is the best way to find out about something and how it works? Yes, she dismantled it.
Picture thousands of tiny Styrofoam red berries dotting my carpet and a little girl with a whale-spout ponytail chewing on the end of a curly willow branch.
Like I said, Christmas Decorating Efficiency...ah...Thwartation. Pretty sure that's a word.
As for the budding electrician, we are SUPER CERTAIN that there are light strands with half, a third or the first and last third of the light bulbs burnt out. OR short circuited. Whatever. What I now know is (thanks to the info from my brother-in-law, Wonderboy) I am not supposed to store them in the garage. Which is what I do. Which is why I have issues with my lights. Huh. Shocking. (Stunned silence.)
Our strands of Christmas lights have now been plugged into eight different double light sockets around the living room, connected together in every mathematically possible way and painstakingly examined bulb by bulb by my little wannabe electrician. And to think I was considering putting a Christmas tree in his bedroom!? OK, I may still just do it. Cause it's fun. And he's a kid. And kids should have fun.
I'll be sleeping with a industrial sized fire extinguisher on my nightstand, but hey, kids should have fun...
P.S. For all you delightful lovelies, I have decided to have an indefinitely active Vintage Dutch Girl Etsy shop coupon code for 15% off all orders. Cause you are delightful. AND lovely. Your 15% off coupon code is: FOLLOWLOVE15 . You still have time before Christmas to get some gift shopping in! I have multiples of every scarf ready made and am trying to ship out next day if possible. Happy Shopping!

Spectra lifeline confusion
I am getting ready to change over this weekend, but in thinking about the work to be done, I became confused. I will be using Johnson fittings throughout. For each length I had planned to splice the line to the closed end fitting on each end. This morning I realized that I could only do that for one end of the line using a brummel of the open variety poking each end through the other. Since for the second splice I will not have both ends of the line available, I will be unable to make a locked brummel of any sort as it would require passing the fitting through the rope. Looking at the Johnson advertising, they show splices on both ends of the rope. So would they have used a plain bury on the second end just to show how pretty everything is? Am I thinking correctly that the only way to accommodate the second end is with an empty locked splice ring hitched through the eye of the fitting or with a deadeye and lashing? If using a ring hitch, does that not create as much loss of line strength as a knot?
I can't tell you how they made theirs, but this is how I would have made mine had hardware instead of lashings.
Using amsteel blue
1) tapered bury splice with lock stitching both ends of the life lines.
2) luggage tag one end around the bow pulpit. I did it around the bow pulpit tubing, not the stainless rod by the way.
3) run the lifelines
4) luggage tag the other end onto a stainless eye bolt
5) thread the eye bolt onto a Johnson snap gate hook
On the non-gate hook side of the lifeline, the last splice is made over a sailmakers thimble that the gate hook attaches too.
Personally I just found that eliminating hardware was too seductive when faced with the option, and it really drove the price down too.
Alternatively you can use a McDonaly method brummel splice, that only requires one end of the line. See instructions at http://L-36.com/brummel2.php
Endless Locked Brummell , grommet, lifeline securing.
Dear All,
I have just realised when reading the last few posts, on lifelines particularly, that no-one on here seems to be aware that a way to achieve a locked brummell when you cannot pass the other end of the line, whether in a grommett or other closed loop, to join long lengths of inaccesible rope, or indeed around a fitting that is too large to pass, ( like your complete boat when securing lifelines to the pulpit ) has existed for at least 40 years.
In 1972 I was a spotty-faced 16 year old appretice at Spencer Rigging when the problem arose of how to strop some timber blocks using the inner core of some 16 mm Braidline ( the British ropes version of Sampson Braid.)
I had been using the core that was discarded when making covered wire spinnaker braces and genoa sheets ( I shudder at the memory! ) to secure my trials bike in the back of my mates Ford Transit, securing one end to the load rails utilising a rudimetary form of the splice/hitch that has become known as the Locked Brummell.
Mine had the two interlocking tucks but I left the short end unburied and just put a whipping on said end about 3 inches from the two interlocking tucks.
This held for the job it was doing for many years. When the van was finally scrapped the tie lines were still swinging merrily from the upper inner corner of the roof.
When the block strop problem came up all the time-served men were scratching their heads a bit and I, as only an arrogant youth can, piped up with " Why dont you just tuck them through each other like I do for my lashings?'
Much scowling and dismissive gestures until I persuaded them to have a look at what I was doing.
The problem was, of course, how to acheive the same security in a closed ring/grommet.
More scratching of heads and I was a bit nervous about suggesting it, but went ahead anyway ( I was much more arrogant in those days, if that is possible to believe ) and proposed that we tucked one end as per usual then unlaid the braid of the other end, passed half each side of the line to form the interlock, and then re-laid up the strands into the sennet that comprised the material in the first place.
( As an aside, it may be a trick of the photographs, but every time I see a step-by-step explanation on how to do a locked brummell the demonstrator seems to just stick the two parts through each other at 90 degrees.
I have always, from the very beginning, followed the angle of the braid making sure that there is an equal number of strands each side of my pull-through. This seems to make for a fairer lay of the two parts together. )
-Back to Cowes cica 1972-
Graham " Curly " Floyd then grabbed the fledgling grommet out of my hands and tapered and buried the two ends and with a couple of whippings and a few tweaks on length and taper cofiguration the join was sorted out.
I have been doing them in the UK and Australia ever since.
I got hold of some ex America's Cup spectra core and used it for some blocks on a smallish gaffer here in Sydney in 1987 and since the advent of Spectron 12 and it's ilk, I have used the join, in dacron, spectra and kevlar to taper and repair halyards on site.
The most recent joins I did were out on site at a large electrical cable installation where they had to gulley-pull 2 kilometres of cable in one go, and I joined-up several lengths of 16 mm Lankhorste Euronete Dyneema to make one length of just over the required 2000 metres.
Of course, they broke the pulling line and I had to return and make a join standing up to my waist in water down in an access pit.
Well I was the one who said I could do it - natural arrogance you see.
There again, as my mate Mike Vester says, " If your'e not arrogant enough, you never get anything done! "
Apropos of that, the Dynex standing rigging for the 200 ton charter schooner is progressing.
Photos to follow.
Joe Henderson, Henderson Rigging.
now i am really confused
Joe, I have read your explanation more than once, but obviously I will need to study it and see if I can do the same thing. I do not quite understand. Forgive my thick head. It is always a pleasure and informative to read one of your posts. Thanks for the information.
Dear Rockfordwoods,
Now I am going to have to delve into the alchemy of taking and posting digital images on this forum.
Do not hold your breath, but I will try my best.
I know it is not strictly kosher on this forum, but you could email me - email@example.com - and we can discuss more fully
Brummel splice with one end
Here is a video from New England Ropes of how to do a Brummel splice with one end only.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIR5J... gqYF24JCxzQ=
Anne, thanks for that link, but the issue here is how to use a locked Brummel to splice in a closed eyelet, such as a Johnson lifeline eye, without having access to both ends. I think it is not possible without passing the offending hardware through the rope. Joe has come up with something very interesting involving un-laying and reweaving the rope.
Both the link I posted above, or the video akochen posted have instructions on how to do a locking brummel with only one end of the line available. It absolutely is possible, and a pretty easy splice really.
Great minds run in the same ruts
And here I thought that I had come up with the unbraid/rebraid technique, after a friend told me it was impossible, some years ago. For those of you who aren't following Joe's description, you can find drawings of the process in our Working Rope 5 book, in the section on grommets.
Getting back to an earlier question, a Ring Hitch (I refuse to call it a Luggage Tag Hitch) does not have the kind of weakening effect of knots; the load distribution and balance is different. For lifelines, a Ring Hitch is important, as it allow one to attach and detach the eye. The Johnson hardware is proportioned to accommodate the hitch. Not clear on why one would need the unbraid/rebraid technique for lifelines.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
Many, many men with greater skills than I, and there is nothing new under the sun !
The more I think about it, the more certain I am that that I must have seen the essence of the Monkey Grip / Locked Brummell somewhere in the copy of Ashley that my mother bought me on the occasion of my entrance to the ranks of an indentured apprentice..
Without getting that bloody heavy thing down from the upper level of my bookshelf ( the only one it fits on, of course ) I reckon that here is something similar in the leather strap / thong department and I have seen it on the end of belts etc. so I have no great claim to it.
There again, as per the title, most of what we do has already been done, or at least thought about, either years ago or at the same time.
Vis the "invention" of the multihull and the development of the Windsurfer etc. etc.
There again I do love the syncronicity of it all, and the existence of the entry in your book saves me a lot of head scratching whilst I attempt to - 1) actually take the pictures, and 2) post them up on here.
By the way, I agree, luggage tag is just a lazy way of describing the hitch for uninformed users, and "great minds" can be set on their ways..
The correct nomenclature, and the correct tool, always.
Unless I really HAVE to use that Crescent wrench and cross head screwdriver as an adjustable hammer and pin punch --- quick !, while no-one is looking.

I'm truckin' in more ways than one. It's move time. Pack up your shit and make an ungodly amount of trips to and fro time. Put it all in a box wrapped in newspaper, only to unwrap it and take it out of the box the next day time.
Yes, it's the big move this weekend for me and dear cb. It's been a long time coming and we are more than thrilled to move to our new home. This does mean however that I will have to put a hold on all food posts because there will not be a pan nor pot that is not packed away awaiting burly men to carry it to a new home.
Moving sucks. It sucks enough to make you drink, so that is what all my posts will be about until I can unpack my crap and get it all into working order. So without further ado...I present Red Truck, apropos don't you think?
I visited Cline Vineyards while in Sonoma this fall and it was a wonderful little place with great people running the show. They offer a variety of reds and whites. CB has been drinking Red Truck for years, and you can get it in almost every local wine and liquor store. It's a blend, of Syrah, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Grenache and Mourvedre. It's "medium-bodied and delicious flavors of dark berries, licorice and chocolate with smooth tannins." It pairs well with pizza and tomato based dishes...and considering I don't have any dishes, it pairs well with a powerbar.

BANGOR, Maine (AP) — The Maine Department of Corrections says an 11-year-old whose teeth were knocked out is to blame for his injuries.
The department is denying allegations of abuse by corrections officers contained in a lawsuit brought on behalf of the boy detained at Long Creek Youth Development Center. The court filing suggests that the boy's injuries were self-inflicted.
The Bangor Daily News reports that the lawsuit contends correction officers "bashed" the boy's face on a metal bed frame and "deliberately withheld" treatment. In court documents, the state denies that the boy was forcibly restrained and says the "injuries were caused by his own fault."
The civil rights lawsuit contends the incident stems from youth center officials' failure to treat the boy severe attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

EU, Japan seal free trade in signal to Trump
Japan and the EU seal the 'political' deal for a free trade pact, creating the world's biggest open economic area and signalling resistance to what they see as the U.S.'s protectionist turn, even as Donald Trump arrived in Europe for the G20 summit. David Pollard reports.
They may be air kisses but this is fast becoming a meaningful relationship. The EU and Japan now declaring a political agreement, as the final move towards a full free trade pact. (SOUNDBITE) (English) EUROPEAN COUNCIL PRESIDENT, DONALD TUSK, SAYING: "We promised to do everything in our power to conclude political and trade talks between Japan and the European union on the eve of the G20 summit. And we did it." For Japan too, four years of negotiations now becoming - literally - a very big deal. (SOUNDBITE) (Japanese) JAPANESE PRIME MINISTER, SHINZO ABE, SAYING: "Japan and the EU account for 30 percent of the GDP, 10 percent of the population and 40 percent of trade in the world, so this is the birth of the world's largest free, advanced, industrialized economic zone." Over 90 per cent of European exports to Japan to be liberalised, according to European Council president Jean-Claude Juncker. Tariffs on bilateral trade to be phased out... And markets - such as Japan's public tender system - opened up. As the two do more business. (SOUNDBITE) (English) EUROPEAN BUSINESS LOBBY GROUP BUSINESSEUROPE DIRECTOR, LUISA SANTOS, SAYING: "We are basically at the same level in terms of economic development. We are fast, we are highly developed economies, we are mature economies." And timing, it seems, is everything .... Coming as it does within hours of the US's president's arrival in Europe. (SOUNDBITE) (English) JAMES HUGHES, CHIEF MARKET ANALYST, GKFX, SAYING: "The timing is very much a message to the G20, a message to Donald Trump and the US to say look these deals are being done, and we will move ahead without you if you continue this protectionist stance." The hands clasped - but soon to pick up the pen. For a final treaty signature expected in the months to come.
