Well since Huffington Post would let me post this maybe you will let it squeak through here.
Anyone could have predicted that the Lieberals would and will reduce the tolls on the new Port Mann. This probably was the plan from the start of the exorbitant project knowing that daily commuters wouldn't be happy when completion day would arrive and they finally realize they face a new $1,400.00 + yearly tax to get back and forth to work.
Reducing the tolls means that every taxpayer in BC will now pay to subsidize the commuters using the new bridge.
The Lieberals have proved to be the most incompetent government BC has ever elected. They have enriched the lives of their political friends on the backs of taxpayers by either bankrupting crown corporations and selling off public assets or building money losing monuments. They should be congratulated however for constructing the first ever toll bridge on the Trans-Canada Highway paving the way for other "free enterprise" governments to help enrich their friends.

Mission Quest believes in providing a safe and secure donation processing system to the donors and missionaries. We take internet security seriously, and our website is highly secured and protected with different levels of security and encryption. Some of the security technologies we utilize in our website are:
Security Sockets Layer (SSL) Encryption:
An online industry standard secures the entire Mission Quest website, 128-bit Security Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption. All transmissions between the donor's computer and the Credit Card processing system are encrypted (including credit card number, name, address, the name of the missionary, etc., ) and transmitted securely every time. If someone "listens in" on the wire, they'll only get encrypted information.
All SSL Certificates are issued to either companies or legally accountable individuals. When a browser connects to an SSL secured site it will retrieve the site's SSL Certificate and check that it has not expired, it has been issued by a Certification Authority the browser trusts, and that it is being used by the website for which it has been issued. If it fails on any one of these checks, the browser will display a warning.
Donors will feel safe and more encouraged to give when they see this level of security. Missionaries should encourage their donors to pay attention to the safety level of the organization that processes their donations. In Mission Quest we made this very easy, your donors can validate our security levels by:
- Clicking on the padlock at the address bar to view more detailed SSL encryption information.
- Https URL prefix instead of HTTP
- Clicking on the SSL Certification Trust Seal below.

Wish this post was going to be more exciting or interesting but, sadly and my condolences for it, it will not be. I've been playing Runescape way too much lately rather than writing, as I should be. Met a few more interesting people on it though. My bff who composes music as a hobby (it's his life) is adamant that he is going to write music for me to sing. Lol! Not really up to it because I rather don't like singing solos (though I had to in chorus concerts a lot) but regardless, I figure I'll give it a whirl. Going roller skating on Saturday so perhaps we can figure it out then. In the meantime, again, have not written anything lately so I'm having fantasy/writing withdrawals (much like some have Sims3 withdrawals except more drastic, lol). Therefore, as soon as I am done with this, I am going to start working on those biographies again. =) That would be this very moment. Have a great Veteran's Day, guys.
Also, here's a random picture that I want to share. I really like it.

Pep Guardiola is refusing to get carried away by Manchester City's outstanding start to the season and insists maintaining it will not be easy.
City's 4-0 demolition of Bournemouth took them five points clear at the top of the Premier League with a seventh successive victory in all competitions making it the club's best ever start to a season.
But Guardiola believes there is still room for improvement in a team he has rejuvenated since arriving from Bayern Munich earlier this summer.
"Numbers are numbers. One record will be for another person to beat," said Guardiola.
"The important thing is we won a game after a Champions League game. We had three days to prepare and when you play in the Champions League those games are so demanding.
"I am happy. We have won five games in the Premier League.
"In our world with social media it's better to stay back and don't read and don't listen too much.
"I know we are going to lose games and when that happens it's important to be stable like we are stable now.
"When we win we are so happy, our training sessions are better and the people laugh more but we know that still we have a lot of things to get better."
Guardiola said that the season had barely got underway and he had had enough warning prior to arriving at how tough a title it is to win.
"We are in September. It's nothing. We have played absolutely nothing," said the 45-year-old Spaniard.
"I have heard from a long time ago that the Premier League is the toughest ever so I'm not going to accept now it's so easy."
City were inspired to their fifth successive league win by Kevin de Bruyne, who scored the opening goal from a free-kick and then had a hand in each of the next three from Kelechi Iheanacho, Raheem Sterling and Ilkay Gundogan on his first start for the club.
Apart from Barcelona's Lionel Messi, Guardiola believes De Bruyne deserves to be rated as among the world's best players.
"Maybe Messi can sit alone at the table. But that table aside, Kevin can stay there," said Guardiola, who enjoyed many memorable moments with Messi at Barcelona.
"I think he's a special player – an outstanding player. He makes everything.
"Without the ball he is the first fighter and with the ball he's clear. He sees absolutely everything. He decides what you have to do at the right moment every time.
"Every time he makes the right decision. That's why he is a player at another level.
"I am lucky and we are lucky to have him.
"We will take care of him and I hope he will enjoy it with us to play his amazing football."
Bournemouth's third league loss of the season made it a tough full debut for on-loan Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere.
But manager Eddie Howe claimed it was an unfair performance by which to judge the England international.
"It was difficult for Jack. We want to see Jack in the final third to use his best qualities," said Howe.
"That was impossible today but when he can do that gets used to the way we play he will be a very good player for us.
"It was a difficult day for us. Our plan wasn't to sit as deep in the first half but we ended up getting trapped.
"They were better than us but I'm disappointed with our performance. You have to give them credit for the way they played but we can do better," added the 38-year-old Englishman. – Agence France-Presse

Preparing for Hot Weather Deer Hunts
"I'd bowhunt, but it's so hot!"
And they are correct. Toss in the occasional thunderstorm and Amazonian herds of mosquitoes, and yes, comfort in September and early October woods can be right scarce – to speak nothing of the August deer seasons now established in Florida and long recognized in the souls of South Carolina rifle hunters. Plus, most southern states have seasons that last nearly six months – why waste time sweating and swatting when the weather will be more accommodating come November?
Still, deer hunting these months is not a lost cause. In many regions of the South, with its varied and often irregular rut dates and durations, this time of the year is excellent for hanging trophy antlers on the wall.
A lot of press goes into how to scout deer and how to shoot deer, but let's explore the things we must consider in order to simmer silently and comfortably on a stand ready to whack a big buck as it slinks from the swamps to feed in the heat and humidity of late summer and early autumn.
Dress Smarter
Ditch the cotton. Lose the $12 Wal-Mart camo T-Shirt. Purge the Hanes socks and tighty-whities. If you've ever read about mountain climbing or alpine hunting, you may have noticed the mantra, "cotton kills." Cotton absorbs moisture. In cooler climates this can lead to hypothermia. In warmer temps, overheating.
Perspiration is the body's means for self-cooling. As that cotton T-shirt soaks in sweat, it traps against the body keeping you hot. Also, it gets heavier. I'm not saying you'll pass out like a July football player, but you'll be far more uncomfortable than if you'd switched up fabrics.
The best outfit I've tried is Under Armor Hot Weather gear. While not exactly flattering for this beer-bellied physique, these tight-fitting garments excel at keeping the natural self-cooling system humming by rapidly pulling sweat from your skin outwards. As a result, the slightest tickle of wind feels like a cold compress on your chest. Though they can be pricy, these outfits unquestionably work.
So, what else do I don to complete this ensemble? How does a pair of board shorts grab you? Bathing suits are lightweight, and most have plenty of pockets to store flashlights, wallets, keys, tracking tape and whatever else, allowing you to ditch that heavy backpack or fanny pack. Some board shorts even come in pretty floral patterns that'd be excellent if your stand was in the middle of a hibiscus hedge. So, I top these layers with a lightweight, Mossy Oak screen ghillie suit of some sort. Bug Tamers are fine, too. Rubber boots with polypropylene socks complete the hoofwear.
Scent Control
Really, in these conditions there's not much you can do to eliminate odor. Your best strategy, as always, is playing the wind. We could get into all kinds of different theories about hunting high from stands or low from blinds, but the fact is, it is hot this time of the year; you are going to sweat, smell and leave smell. But, you can reduce some of this impact.
One, only wear your hunting clothes when you are hunting. Not when opening gates or jacking around camp waiting for the gates to open. Not when you take your midday siesta or visit the local Greasy Spoon for lunch. Don't let it collect all that foreign smell. Keep your clothes fresh and clean for the walk into the woods. Some people go a step further and won't dress until arriving at their stand, but I prefer to keep deer hunting a passion or pastime, not a neurotic breakdown.
Two, buy and use scent control products. Again, they aren't perfect but they help - undoubtedly so, in my mind. When you return to camp from the field, hang everything you hunt in from a branch or someplace in the wind and give it a good rinse with scent killer, especially around the collars, armpits and crotch areas of your outfits. If you ever pass a Dodge on a WMA with hunting gear strewn through the brush like you'd see after a Topeka tornado, odds are I'm close by.
Also, look for my solar shower, speaking of neurotic breakdowns. Yes, I've been known to bring a shower, towels, scentless soap and shampoo for a rinse before I return for the evening sit. Finish this off with a dash of scentless deodorant.
Scent suits are an obvious, easier solution, and I do believe they work for at least a period of time, but mine is unmercifully heavy in temps over 70 degrees. Since I acquired mine, new designs have become available that supposedly are more comfortable in warmer climates. And they are expensive.
Controlling your scent during warm spells is not just important for sitting in the stand, it's also crucial for keeping your hunting area fresh. Deer will identify when a smelly hunter has been crusing their turf. Bet on it.
Bug Control
Possibly the most aggravating aspect of deer hunting in warm weather is the mosquitoes - solving their pestilence is often subject of debate and anecdote. Not sure if I've told this story before, but once when I was younger and Bug Tamers and Therma-Cells were yet undeveloped technology, I was so frustrated by a swarm of Manatee County bloodsuckers that I took a can of aerosol OFF!, a lighter and blow-torched the flock (getting all this kids?). Obviously this did nothing to help me kill a deer, but it was gratifying.
These days I'm using a Therma-Cell. Others gripe, believing the "scentless" repellant will alert deer. My answer is to hunt a stand where wind direction is not going to be a problem. Slapping and cursing at skeeters is going to do as much to wake up the woods as anything. In the eight years since I've employed this device, I've arrowed several deer and been approached archery close by hogs, coyotes, and a black bear - some of the best noses in the woods. I've just not seen any evidence that it spooks deer, provided you are hunting the wind properly.
OFF! and other DEET-based products work, but stink to high heaven, and do nothing to deter the incessant buzzing around your eyes and ears. Bug Tamers will also prevent welts and encephalitis, but you'll have this same problem, not to mention rows of mosquitoes sitting along your arms like dove on a powerline. Inevitably, a few will creep up your facemask which is just shy of waterboarding, in my opinion.
Hot and buggy may not be your ideal image of deer hunting, but early Fall is a fantastic time to kill a deer. Until you hoist that new stand complete with A/C and fridge for cold drinks, this is about the best you can do.

Excellent tips, Ian. Loved reading this one. Additionally, one thing that seems to be overlooked, especially out here is water. Pack plenty of it! Not only will it obviously keep you hydrated and cooled down, but you can splash some on your face and just plain feel better.
Best of luck out there during the hot months, Ian! Our season starts (for me) Sept. 24 and goes until Dec. 31. I can't wait!

Man, this is a really outstanding post! It summarizes a lot of lessons I've learned the hard way (and in some ways, am not really sure of) after 10 years of bow, goose, and dove hunting in the September heat!

Our solutions are unable to be obtained anywhere else! Forget paying 11-12% when doing large volume. High volume rates start at 2.5% - 4.7%.
Offshore merchants has a number of different solutions for high risk merchant accounts. If you require a high risk merchant account for a business processing over $100k/month or more, we have a customized processing solution specifically for your company.

Offshore merchant accounts usually take 3-4 weeks to be approved with competitors. OffshoreMerchants.net can approve high risk merchant accounts in 7-14 days! We also provide a number of solutions from domestic US banks as well! Domestic high risk merchant accounts are a great choice for companies that want fast payouts and low rates. Our domestic high risk solutions may require your business to provide previous processing statements. One of our highly trained representatives can answer any questions you might have.
Don't lose another sales because you do not accept credit cards or debit cards. Businesses today, especially online businesses or phone based businesses need to accept multiple forms of payments. Merchant accounts are the best way to accomplish this. Over 80% of face to face transactions are completed without cash. Over 90% of non-face to face transactions are completed with credit cards or debit cards. These simple statistics show what type of business you are losing by not accepting multiple forms of payment. On average most consumers will spend 20% more when they do not have to pay with cash.
Your business can for only a small fee, expand with more customers purchasing more products, more often. If you don't accept credits with a high risk merchant account, then your competitors will. Almost every type of business requires credit card processing. Less than 10% of people carry over $20 with them in cash when they shop and online businesses are mandated to offer credit card processing if they are offering a service or product that requires a real-time approval for fast access to services. Years ago, businesses would accept cash on delivery for products to customers without a credit card. Today, people without credit cards are able to apply for credit cards and get approved while anyone can get a debit card for free and also a prepaid credit card.

Contact one of our helpful representatives to find out more about high risk merchant accounts.
We provide the following:
Merchants that process with Offshore Merchants are aware of their increases in business since they have began processing cards. High risk merchant accounts are much different from any other type of business because they have been classified as a higher risk industry. Visa and MasterCard have placed warnings for their low risk processors explaining that these types of businesses have a higher chance of fraud and chargebacks.
It is very important that merchants understand how they can make the best decisions in the high risk arena. Many offshore processors or internet providers are scams. If you have been searching for high risk merchant accounts for a long period of time, you would have realized this when six months ago you are searching through completely different companies then you do today.

Offshore Merchants is proud to have ongoing successful relationships with many different banks domestically and offshore. Our banking relationships have been trusted for years with merchants processing ten of millions monthly so that you can rest assured that your company's payouts will be quick and hassle free.
The most important factor when processing a high risk merchant account is getting paid. When you are dealing with a regular low risk merchant account, you need to worry first about the rates and support. In the offshore environment, the trust with the processor is always the most significant item.
Process with a trusted processor and experience the difference of getting paid on time and for the full amount guaranteed. Many companies will tell the merchant anything to set them up, however shortly afterwards, the merchants are surprised with hidden fees and higher than quoted discount rates. Don't put yourself in a similar position.

We pride ourselves on guaranteeing fast payouts, on time with low monthly fees.

Offshore Merchants can provide high risk merchants with offshore merchant accounts. Many legitimate businesses operate in industries that are considered by Visa and MasterCard as "high risk". This means that banks are at a higher risk of loss by offering processing for these businesses. Domestic banks will not provide service. We are able to setup most merchants within 4-8 days and we have a high approval rate. We accept most merchants.
Fast growth can also become a barrier for businesses since domestic banks are not willing to increase processing volume caps for businesses with fast growth. This is not an issue with an offshore merchant account from Offshore Merchants.This means you can still use your domestic merchant account while also integrating our offshore account in the same virtual terminal. You are able to charge normally and the charges will be processed between both accounts and you will never have to worry about reaching your cap.
Bad or lack of credit is also a major factor for domestic merchant accounts. We do not run credit checks on offshore accounts! Credit is absolutely not a factor. If you run a business, you can process with us! Domestic high risk merchant accounts do require a credit check.
Card acceptance an important issue with high risk merchant accounts. Many processors will explain how they can setup your company at this rate within 3 days etc. But what type of cards are you going to accept? Many offshore accounts only allow you to accept Visa OR MasterCard. All our accounts can accept Visa and MasterCard.

Miguel Hernandez of Grumo Media and I have swapped some really good communications recently. Super sharp guy, he sent this observation and question to me -
Here is a suggestion for a future post for you. Today I met with a friend who has been friends with the [recently very successful movie director] for many years. He noticed I got some attention from Ashton Kutcher and is convinced that my career is going to skyrocket too (he is dreaming of course) and I am going to become yet another of his friends that "makes it" and he doesn't.
He is a hilarious dude and very talented movie editor and wants to succeed and make a difference on this world, like all of us really. Today he took me out for lunch to pick my brain a little and get some advice. He had a great point which I totally agree with. Here it is:
So I keep saying that to succeed you have to welcome failure and keep trying continuously. But that really works if you actually have an idea of what your passions are. The problem, the big problem most of the world have is that most people don't have a clue of what is that passion for them.
I have had that problem myself, well, my problem is that I always had too many passions and wanted to do everything which is fun but also dilutes your chances to be very good at something specifically.
Why isn't my book done?
I started thinking about the idea sometime last year, started organizing my notes and outlines in August 2009, and started writing a little in November or December before shelving it.
I was on fire in Taipei, Taiwan in January. Everything was just right, I wrote 4,000 words on a bad day, and my best day was 17,000 words. Book was complete in rough shortly afterwards.
I was in Northern Thailand in February, in Chiang Mai. I was going to edit, but I didn't really. I was kind of flat. I played a lot of Conquer Club online, surfed around, didn't really get anything done. Then I was traveling around and I wasn't really working on the book.
In fact, I never sent anyone a copy until maybe three weeks ago, when I gave it to one of my friends who was asking. He's a great guy, amazing guy, but I was even gunshy about sending it to him. Lord knows why. If you do creative works, maybe you understand this. If you haven't done anything creative and this doesn't make sense to you, I can't explain it. I think creative people will understand a little.
A rant? Absolutely not - it's a principled stand against the corruption and malaise in publishing. Guaranteed to be interesting and engaging, please share with everyone relevant that you know -
1. People don't set firm plans with people who own telephones.
"Okay, I'll call you around 3, and maybe we'll meet at like 7, or I don't know, I'll let you know at 5 if..."
"Sorry dude, I don't have a phone. Are we on for 7 or not?"
"Yeah, okay."
I love that.
A common question, indeed - "I don't know what I'm doing with my life, can you advise something?"
Well, perhaps I can. I got a nice email from a reader, and I wrote a long reply. If you're in a hurry, skim down to "Okay. So here's my thoughts" which is where the pragmatic guidelines start - I'll bold it so you can start there, if you like.
Hi Sebastian,
First, I'd like to say that I've really enjoyed reading your blog. It has so much insightful and enlightening material that I've gone back to reread and try to really absorb some of the ideas you have. I've been meaning to contact you but I felt a bit intimidated, to be honest. I'd really like to hear your advice.
I'm about a year removed from high school, attending community college and I've just been floating around, doing general education courses and I've yet to really decide on a major. I don't really have any particular talents or strong interests in one field or another.
A while back, I had the good fortune to connect with Simon Payne who is one of the oustandingly cool and interesting guy. I know a lot of people want to do meaningful thins with their lives, but are scared to take risks. Simon saved a small amount of money and just jumped off into the void... and it worked. I hope his story inspires you like it does me, here's Simon -
My story begins when I decided to quit my job, sell most of my things and move to Philippines to study original martial art called Kali (also known as Escrima or Arnis). For those who doesn't know it, it's a kind of fencing but with rattan sticks. It's an offensive, fast and extremely effective martial art. The training includes even fighting with steel blades, knives and many different weapons including bare hands. I've been studying the modern version of Escrima in Czech Republic for last 8 years and before that historical and sport fencing.
I've always had rich imagination and before arriving in the Philippines I assumed that everyone would know where to find where to find some Escrima schools. I dreamed about finding some old skilled grandmaster that would teach me.
I decided to travel to Davao City which is in the south of Philippines. I knew that my friend John will be there at the same time. I didn't know him in person but that was my only contact. He was just starting a company there. Looking back at my decisions I obviously didn't use my brain as much as other people would. If I did, I'd choose bigger city like Manila or Cebu which are well known for martial art schools.
I searched using pieces of information from web but it wasn't helpful, most information were outdated or useless. I wandered the streets and asked people for any leads. Sometimes at night searching trough dark corners and shady streets where I felt uncomfortably insecure. Sometimes I'd find an abandoned gym where someone used to practice but they must have moved somewhere else.
Ah, you there, my Type-A friend. I'm glad you came today. Come in. What would you like? We've got coffees, teas, or clear still water perhaps? No juices at the moment, I'm afraid, I'm not having carbohydrates and it'd be fiddling with the devil to buy juice and then attempt not to drink it. The coffee is good, though, yes?
One moment. I'd like to light the fireplace. Maybe it's technically Spring, but this "Spring" in West Germany is chilly and cold and damp and grey, right down into the bones. But pardon me, I'm near veering into complaint, which is the exact opposite of the place I want to go. I'd much rather pull up by the warm fire's glow with non-carbohydrate beverage-of-choice and muse a little about philosophy and psychology with you -- and maybe it'll even be productive for us?
Ah, the warmth is nice.
I have a lot of correspondences with interesting people. This thread I was on was a discussion between a few guys I know in technology. One shared the article "It isn't lying if you believe it" by one of the co-founders of Netflix -
As software began to be sold to people who would never consider themselves technical, it suddenly became clear that you needed people who spoke their language. It became fashionable to hire product managers from places like Proctor and Gamble. Or Clorox.
It drove the engineers crazy. It was best when you had iron-clad test data demonstrating something purely ridiculous; like that software in the blue box sold twice as well as the exact same product in the red box. It made their head explode. On the one hand, they knew with absolute conviction that there was absolutely no reason why the color of the box should make the least bit of difference. But, on the other hand, they also knew with absolute conviction that data didn't lie. After puzzling over this paradox for a few hours they had no choice but to conclude that maybe us marketing people had some value. Or practiced a kind of black magic. Or both.
These days, the soft bigotry of anti-hucksterism can be seen every day on HackerNews. And there are still plenty of hustlers not quite getting how important their technical co-founder actually is to their success. The truth of the matter is that both sides need each other. We always have and we always will.
A reply from a friend of mine who worked at a few of the top Silicon Valley companies in 1990's to 2000's, and now is CEO of a a company doing a few million dollars in revenues per year replied with this (he's graciously given me permission to repost his thoughts, but wants to stay anonymous for obvious reasons) -
Haruki Murakami, the excellent Japanese novelist, wrote about the sign inside his Japanese gym. It was something like,
"Fat is easy to get and hard to lose. Muscle is hard to get and easy to lose. Such is life."
It's similar to another Japanese expression about money --
"Getting money is like digging in sand with a needle, spending it is like water soaking into sand."
I remember where I read the first quote -- it was reading "What I Talk About When I Talk About Running" in 2008, when I was in Barcelona and living near Placa Espania. At the time, I happened to be on a fantastic routine of waking up at 4:30AM, reading and eating in a little Spanish shop that served a fantastic Spanish egg/potato/vegetable omlette until my gym opened, spending a couple hours in the gym, and then working until dinner before sleeping early.
What do you want to eat?
"I don't know, I don't care, anything is fine." --> NOT COURTEOUS.
When do you want to schedule that lunch meeting? I can do Wednesday, Friday, or the following Monday.
"I don't care, any day is good." --> NOT COURTEOUS.
They seem courteous, but you're really offloading the decisionmaking back to the other person. And the thing is, maybe you don't do this, but a lot of people will say they're totally flexible but then dislike the first option suggested and only then do their thinking and propose something.

Domain investor wins UDRP but panelist declines to find RDNH based on inclusion of Complainant's business on landing page.
Mike Mann and his company DomainMarket.com have successfully defended the domain name Tergus.com in a UDRP. However, the panelist declined to find reverse domain name hijacking because of the inclusion of a "Product and Service Directory" on the landing page for the domain name.
Mann acquired the domain in 2010, two years before Complainant Tergus Pharma, LLC claims trademarks for Tergus. Given these dates, panelist Scott Blackmer rightfully declined the cybersquatting claim.
However, Blackmer declined to find reverse domain name hijacking. He pointed to the landing page for Tergus.com. At the bottom of the page there's a section labeled "Product and Service Directory" that lists three of the Complainant's businesses (see picture above).
That does seem like a risky inclusion on a landing page of a domain for sale.

The Ghanaian police on Sunday arrested 25 Nigerians in Amasaman for alleged violent crimes and robbery.
According to a report by Daily Graphic, a news portal in Ghana, the Amasaman Divisional Police Commander, Francis Yiribaare, said the arrests were part of measures by the police to address concerns over the re-emergence of violent crimes in the area.
"A team of intelligence-led operations searched hideouts of 19 Nigerians, all males, who took cover in the ceiling of a house and locked up the rooms, were arrested," Mr Yiribaare said.
"In another search, six more male Nigerians were arrested." he added.
He said the police also seized 36 laptops, 29 mobile phones, 13 modems and pendrives, a Sony digital camera, a Samsung 3D gadget, 13 ID cards, three wrist watches, one Toyota Corolla saloon car with registration No GX 691-17 and three Nigerian passports from the suspects.
Also found with the suspects were an unspecified number of tramadol capsules and tablets, five packs of suspected Indian Hemp, some liquid concoction suspected to be Indian Hemp bitters and Shisha pipe with four and half packs of flavour.

Promoters fudging sales data to boost stock prices
This company already has a wonderful history of statutory auditors resigning, arrest of CEO/CFO for GST violations etc.
Frauds in the company jungle. Very easy to cheat, hard to discover and even harder to accept. Take the case of this company named Manpasand Beverages. The company was brazen enough to have a board meeting, ducking the independent directors. The sequence of events and the story is too humorous. I do not know what punishment our regulators would mete out. To my mind, jail for the promoters and the CEO is the minimum that is called for. You can read the story online.
This company did an IPO in 2015 at over `300 per share. And it was pushed aggressively thereafter also by some well-known brokerages even as the frauds were unfolding. Institutions and domestic investors were all swayed by the marketing pitch on the shares. By December 2017, the share price was close to `500! By mid 2018 the auditor quit and then the story unwinded. Even after the auditor exit, some brokerages were putting "buy" recommendations. Of course, we love to blame the credit rating agencies, but we never blame the dishonest brokers who push these shares in to our accounts.
In 2018, a reputed broker predicted that this stock would touch `528.
In December 2016, a brilliant analysis was published in a popular blog - https://2point2capital.com/blog/index.php/a2016/12/06/the-curious-case-of-manpasand-beverages/.
One would think that this would scare away inv-estors. But no. Our inves-tors do not like to hear bad things when they are buying or owning. Brokerage reports after this also did not put a sell or an avoid. In fact, the price of this stock went up from around `300 in December 2016 to nearly touch `500 by the end of 2017.
It took a long time for the cookie to crumble. Of course, we cannot blame the honest stock brokers who pushed the stock at you. They are not credit rating agencies. Honesty and accuracy are not expected of/from stock brokers (with apologies to those who may be).
Of course, the buy side institutions (whether FIIs or insurance companies or pension funds) never seem to bother about this. They just point to a credit rating or a broker report and pin the blame on that. I always wonder why those people are paid fancy salaries if all they do is find reports to hang their actions on?
This year is the biggest discovery for the investors that frauds and cheats are common place. And it all boils down to promoter integrity rather than any business issues. Yes, when a business sounds too good to be true, it is important to do our channel checks and find out. If we find nothing, it does not automatically mean that all is well. We are still open to some fraud coming out.
Thus, investment falls in to three broad categories:
i) Where frauds are possible based on promoter background checks;
ii) Where frauds look very unlikely based on promoter background checks; and
iii) Where promoter checks are not easily possible.
If we are classifying our investment activity in to less than one year holding and holding for long term (let us for now assume that we are either traders/investors), then you want to make sure that long term investment goes only in to the first type. The other two types are where you should be prepared to lose all your money.
People sometimes like to think that the stock prices react too much to negative news and buy it immediately on fall, without giving much thought or doing enough homework. This is always a high-risk proposition and often the end is tragic.
Whether you chase a Yes Bank or a Nirav Modi company or a Talwalkar, the chances are high that the stock prices tend to zero. Of course, if there is value in the business, there could be some takers, but when there is a web of deceit (Read about a company named RICOH India Ltd), the chances of salvage value tend to zero.
I have also seen companies crushed by debt which they took on the balance sheet and then siphoned out the money by gold plating assets or by engaging in fictitious acquisitions. If a company borrows money and there is no income to support that debt, the end game is obvious.
The big lesson is that never trust a brokerage report. And do a logic check and some asking round about promoters, employee feedback, vendor feedbacks etc before you make an investment in to a company.
A broker often manufactures a 'buy' report because he has to 'place' a block of shares of a company from a broker. Or he has to create an 'exit' for something he has parked somewhere. Brokers are the Gods of this stock market and no regulator will punish them for selling rotten stuff. There is an old saying- "Wall Street writes the Rules".

Patrick Nielsen (26-1, 12 KOs) and Rudy Markussen (38-3, 25 KOs) continue their 'Collision Course' on September 12 when the Nordic Fight Night returns to the Arena Nord in Frederikshavn.
With a Danish mega-fight on the horizon, the bitter rivals cannot afford any slip-ups as they prepare to take on tough international opposition.
Nielsen, the current WBA International Champion, returns following a one sided points victory over Charles Adamu to face Brazilian brawler Samir Santos Barbosa (36-12-3, 25 KOs).
''Barbosa is a good opponent,'' said the 24 year-old southpaw. ''I've watched some of his tapes and I know what to expect. He's strong, he's experienced and he likes to fight, but I'm a better boxer and I'll be prepared for whatever he has to offer. My confidence is high and I'm ready for war!
''Nothing is going to stop me! I've had three good wins since moving up to super middleweight and the extra kilos are making all the difference. Instead of worrying about my weight, I'm able to concentrate on my boxing. I'm stronger, faster and more dangerous than ever. People have only just begun to see my true potential.
''Rudy can talk all he wants because for now all my focus is on this fight, but once I'm finished with Barbosa, I'm coming for him, and it's not going to be pretty. I'm going to shut Rudy up once and for all and send him back into retirement!''
It will be youth versus experience in the co-featured main event when Markussen, a former European Champion and World title challenger, squares off against the 20 year-old Georgian Ramazi Gogichashvili (19-6-2, 9 KOs).
''This is an important fight for me,'' said the 37 year-old 'Hard Hitter'. ''I don't just want to win; I want to look good doing it. Gogichashvili is a good fighter but he's not on my level. I'm too experienced and too powerful. My advice for him is to keep his hands high or it could be an early night.
''I've definitely not lost any of my punching power, if anything I've got stronger. On September 12, I want to make a statement and knock this guy out. I've been training hard, sparring ten and twelve rounds, and I'm as fit as I've ever been. I'm going to show everybody that I'm back and better than ever!
''Of course I need to be professional and give this fight my full attention, there is always a risk whenever you get into the ring no matter who the opponent is, but I've got Patrick on my mind 24/7, and when the time comes, I'll be ready to knock him out too!''
''This is it,'' said promoter Nisse Sauerland. ''The final test for Patrick and Rudy ahead of a huge domestic showdown. Patrick has impressed since moving up to super middleweight and must continue to do so in order to beat Barbosa, while Rudy faces a tough test for his ring return against a young, hungry fighter like Gogichashvili.
''There are no give-me fights at this level and neither fighter can afford to look past their opponent. They will need to stay 100% focused and win convincingly to guarantee a grudge match later this year.''
Tickets for 'Collision Course' featuring Patrick Nielsen vs. Samir Santos Barbosa and Rudy Markussen vs. Ramazi Gogichashvili are on sale now and available via arenanord.dk. All the action will be shown live on Viasat channels in Denmark.

This age-old question Sellers are asking is never easy to answer!
Harbourside South Pasadena, FL is a very practical example (and a favorite community of mine!), how sales prices can vary greatly even within the same subdivision or complex, and even the same floorplan!!
In all of 2011, 16 condos with the "Biscayne" floorplan of 1,145 sq ft were sold in Harbourside. The HIGHEST sold price was $279,000.-, my partner Denise Hobbs and I were the listing agents on this sale. The LOWEST sales price was $190,000.-. WHAT A CRAZY DIFFERENCE!! Out of the 16 sales, we helped 5 Sellers and 6 Buyers, and the prices ranged wildly!! (Data based on MyFloridaRegional MLS).
There are some main factors that will affect the value of your condo at Harbourside:
- Property Condition: A well-maintained, CLEAN, safe (no exposed wires, trip hazards, etc), and livable condo with working appliances will get a higher price than a total fixer-upper. Beautifully upgraded units get often a premium price, but not always. Staging helps many tired or bland looking properties to shine!
- Location: Some locations are better than others. Even within the same subdivision of homes, or the same condo complex. Talk to a Real Estate Professional like me that knows Harbourside, see my example above the LOCATION and CONDITION of the properties were a huge factor reflected in the sales prices!! For Florida, the most significant preference I observe is that seasonal residents like to soak up the sun while in Florida, so "sunny side is best" for them. West side of Harbourside = more sun = higher sales price.
- Boat Slip? If you own a one of the deeded boat slips in Harbourside's Marina, we recommend separating the sale of condo and boat slip, you normally end up with a higher bottom line.
- Pets: Pets are often a problem in condos. Harbourside is "pet friendly" per the deed restrictions, but if a building has a higher weight limit that accommodates the Buyer's dog, a higher price might be attainable. Works though only if your specific Buyer is a dog-owner!
- Gated: Comparable units in gated versus non-gated communities normally get a higher price. However, that factor levels out between condos within Harbourside, that will only differentiate you from the neighbor in the next subdivision over at Bay Island, not the one next door.
- Deed Restrictions: Age-restricted communities typically sell for less than non-age restricted, again with Harbourside being not-restricted, all of the Harbourside condos are the same on that factor, but Bay Island next door is age restricted, and sells for less than Harbourside.
- Seller's Situation: It is still true, there are some desperate Sellers out there, and some great deals can be picked up right now!
If you have any questions or would like to talk about specific factors affecting the value of your property, please call me at 727-480-4155 or contact me via firstname.lastname@example.com!

Atlanta Braves top prospect/hot shot rookie/middle infielder/the "New" Georgia Peach Ozzie Albies hit his second career major league home run in just his ninth career major league start going 2-for-4 with the 3-run bomb. Albies has basically been doing what we expected/wished/hoped/prayed Dansby Swanson would do all season: hit baseballs. Well, luckily for us there's plenty of young middle infielders in the sea. By the way, were you impressed by my Shelley reference in headline? You didn't think I'd miss a chance to mention one of my favorite non-Shakespearian sonnets, Ozymandias, did you? Speaking of English romantic poets (killer segue, I know!), the 20 year-old Albies was slashing .285/.330/.440 at Triple A Gwinett, and the kiddo's got some game-changing speed with 21 steals in 91 games. If those numbers aren't romantic or poetic enough for you I don't what it is you're looking for. Funny enough, I said the same thing to my real life human girlfriend. He hit just nine home runs in the minors but its pretty clear the power is on the way, with two dingers already in just nine major league starts. Friday night was Ozzie's first multi-hit game in the bigs, and with the homer and 3 RBI he seems to be adjusting well to his new surroundings and getting plenty comfortable at the plate. Grey told you to BUY this week, and he gushed about him here. In keeper/dynasty formats you should own him already, but I think he's worth a flier everywhere else based on his potential to help with speed/average. The .214/.313/.464 in just nine games is too small to take away from, but the two homers and 6 RBI are certainly an exciting sign for the young infielder and fantasy owners alike. This kid's gonna be a star! Ha-cha-cha!
Here's what else I saw Friday night in fantasy baseball:

text: theaficionado 450 Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Hey all! This is the second of my three planned articles. It's the only one that will appear wholly on the forums; the others will be linked from other places. You can find the first, where I talk about the meta generally, here. So, due to the business of both my friends and myself, I ended up doing a lot of testing against the only person I knew who would be available at all the same times as I would: Me. That's right. Just me. I tested out various lists for different factions, including Han's New Wookiee (which I read about on the forums here), Rebel Heroes (featuring Han, Luke, Ahsoka), New Scum Hunters (basically IG + Elite Changeling), and Beast Wombo Combo (Bantha and Rancor + lots of command card draw. Basically, you're just trying to go for dream combos, like Single Purpose + Wild Fury with the Rancor). However, with how underrated the Empire has been, and with the introduction of many interesting new Imperial units, I was keen to bring them to the table. Originally, my list was as follows. Bolded units/command cards have explanations below. Deployment/Upgrade Cards:Darth Vader + Driven by Hatred (13) 2 x Elite Jet Troopers + Targeting Computer (16)Regular Riot Troopers (5) 2 x Regular Imperial Officer (4) Rule By Fear (1) Zillo Technique (1) Command Deck: 0: Planning, Urgency, Take Initiative, Looking for a Fight, Element of Surprise 1: Tough Luck, Negation, Concentrated Fire, Fuel Upgrade, Shared Experience 2: Overrun, Call the Vanguard, Parting Blow, Force Illusion, Prepared for Battle A bit of reasoning behind some choices: Darth Vader + Driven By Hatred: Many people have claimed that melee units have no place in the current meta, especially due to their substantial difficulty on Nal Hutta Swamp. In testing, this concern proved to be mostly baseless, as I had relatively small issues with Darth Vader, even when I had the opposing player play more defensively. On top of that, his damage potential is absurdly high, and he'll pretty commonly just wipe out a midweight unit in a single strike. Finally, his survivability proved to be pretty amazing. Darth Vader seemed like he was there to stay. Regular Riot Troopers: For 5 points, I was really just paying for two guys to get in the way of one, maybe two attacks. RB can be a surprisingly hard hitting attack as well, meaning these guys are a pretty solid investment at 5. Another reason I went for these guys instead of the Elites was to be able to up my activation count to 6, as I wanted a 50/50 chance of getting the last activation on turn 1 (I was expecting most lists to be 6 activations). Looking for a Fight + Parting Blow: A nice combo that serves to give Vader an extra smack if you draw it. Being able to drop IG-88 or other mains before they activated was really attractive, even if it meant Vader getting stunned afterwards. Both cards were also still fine on their own, meaning I wasn't relying on the combo entirely.Force Illusion: My biggest fear was having Vader cop a huge amount of attacks from IG-88 before getting the chance to activate. Force Illusion gave me a way to effectively cancel an entire RRG attack, provided IG was at Range 3 and didn't roll 3 accuracy on the Green die. It would then also serve to mitigate damage from any following attacks, or force IG to come closer. Eventually, I decided that the regular Riot Troopers just weren't doing enough, and I upgraded them to the far superior Elites at the cost of an Imperial Officer. This also led to me dropping Prepared for Battle in favour of Reinforcements, as it could potentially be quite powerful with the Elite Riots. Out: Regular Riot Troopers, Regular Imperial Officer, Prepared for Battle In: Elite Riot Troopers, Reinforcements Testing showed very positive results against Ranger lists and against all variety of Hunter lists, but something still felt a little off. The traits didn't mesh together all that well, especially if the Riot Troopers were picked off early (which they often were). Five activations meant I was never able to go last in R1, and in the games were IG DID have Blaze T1, Vader got destroyed pretty badly. I had virtually no long range fire support, meaning I had to get up and in my opponent's face quickly. Drokkatta was proving to be a menace, and I was concerned about the relative inflexibility of my team. As cool as it was that I was going to play Darth Vader, he just isn't the type of figure I normally go for. Then, I decided to toy around with the Emperor and some Sentry Droids, in what ended up being my final list: Deployment/Upgrade Cards:Emperor Palpatine (8) 2 x Elite Jet Troopers + Targeting Computer (16)Elite Sentry Droids (10) 2 x Regular Imperial Officer (4) Rule By Fear (1) Zillo Technique (1) Command Deck: 0: Planning, Urgency, Take Initiative, Disorient, Element of Surprise 1: Tough Luck, Negation, Concentrated Fire, Fuel Upgrade, Shared Experience, Change of Plans 2: Overrun, Call the Vanguard, Inspiring Speech3: New Orders Some more reasoning:Emperor Palpatine: This may be obvious to many, but I'm going to say it again anyway: Emperor Palpatine has absolutely ABSURD damage output. You're generally handing out at least 4 unpreventable damage, as well as a bonus 3 die attack from one of the troopers in the list. On top of that, you can split this damage up amongst enemies as you see fit. Your opponent has to position there units carefully on T1, lest you get a free attack with one of your pushed out Sentry Droids or Jet Troopers from Palps (note you don't get to use Charged Shot with the Sentries, meaning that long range shots can be challenging). There's so much to like about him. Elite Sentry Droids: I believe I was the only player using these guys at the tournament, and opinions online have been mixed on them. I'm going to reiterate what I've said many times now: Elite Sentry Droids are incredible. Their damage output is very consistent, with solid accuracy against single targets. They're also able to demolish Alliance Rangers and Weequay Pirates with Multi-Fire. In testing, I found that the pair of Sentries were consistently killing one unit and moderately damaging another in one activation, OR sniping down a single unit from quite a distance away. They're tough enough to potentially survive two medium-sized attacks as well (with some help from Zillo, of course). On top of that, they share command card synergy with the Jet Troopers (Shared Experience + Call the Vanguard), which the Elite Riot Troopers didn't. I expect I'm going to be using these guys in my Imperial lists for a while to come. Disorient: There's really convoluted reasoning behind my inclusion of this. It was primarily for Luke's Finest / IG Hunter lists, so that I could potentially get some information about their hand while also removing focus from a Ranger or Eequay. It was extremely narrow, but I was pretty afraid of getting blown out by Son or Blaze T1. Additionally, knowing my opponent's Negation / Tough Luck / Assassinate are gone was a nice bonus. I actually never resolved it throughout the weekend. Shared Experience: If 3P0 and Gideon have taught us anything, it's that recurring focus is pretty insane. Top that off with the fact that this is free Zillo food, and this is an all-star, especially if you draw it in your opening 5, as it makes an easy pitch to Rule by Fear. Six units in the list can cause it to come back, and being able to constantly threaten four dice attacks is pretty awesome. I loved this card when it was spoiled, and being able to use it effectively in a list made me pretty happy. Inspiring Speech: Remember how I said focus and four dice attacks were insanely good? Leading off with this onto a pair of Jets or a pair of Sentries on round one is incredibly intimidating, and whenever I led off with a great speech from an Officer, I went on to have an absurd turn two.New Orders: After I got obliterated by this when @DTDanix was running Luke's Finest in a Vassal tournament, I started paying a lot more attention to it. With a good spread of leaders in the list, and the highly mobile Jet Troopers, there were bound to be lots of opportunities to make good use of this. In two of my matches, it was game defining. It ensures you get the last activation in R1, which is arguably the most crucial activation in the game (with activation one in R2 being the other all-important activation). Throughout the tournament, I played against: Luke's Regulars on "Shielded" (Luke, Ahsoka, Regular Alliance Rangers, C-3P0, Gideon, Hera, Rebel High Command) Win 40 - 13 Rebels But Not Rebels on "Spoils of Crime" (BT-1, Leia, Luke, R2-D2, Elite Jawa Scavenger, C-3P0, Regular Clawdite, Temporary Alliance, Devious Scheme?) Win 40 - 8 Evan's Rebels on "Line of Fire" [Overall Winner] (Ahsoka, Ko-Tun, Jarrod, Elite Alliance Rangers, Gideon Argus, C-3P0, C1-10P) Win 40 - 13 Classic Hunters "Gaining Favour" (2 x Eequays, Vinto, Onar, Hera, C-3P0, Jabba, Temporary Alliance, Black Market, Devious Scheme) Win 40 - 29 Bantha Hunters on "New Ownership" (Bantha, 2 x Eequays, Vinto, Gideon, C-3P0, Hired Guns, Devious Scheme, Temporary Alliance, Beast Tamer) Loss 17-40 Just a very quick overview of each of my games for context: R1: I wiped out all of his units, with the exception of Luke and Ahsoka, by the end of R2. I'd lost 2 Jets in the process, and scored 5 objectives total. I think he made a critical error by running both Luke and Ahsoka ahead to smash one of my Jets, leaving his troopers undefended behind. R2: I took out BT-1 during the first round, denying a second attack from Leia. Luke destroyed Palpatine next round, but with only Leia and Luke left as real attackers, he just couldn't put out anywhere near enough damage. R3: Evan sent Jarrod to take the top terminal (he started at the top, as I won initiative). I don't actually remember too much else from this matchup, except that I played New Orders at the end of R2 to basically seal the deal. R4: Focused Vinto failed to take out my Elite Sentry Droid, even with Draw (though I did have to use Zillo twice). Vinto then dodged my next three attacks at him, and continued to be a menace throughout the game. R2 was an absolutely slaughter fest, with my units JUST coming out on top, especially after the Emperor took out three units in a single activation. Had it not been for the early three dodges, I think this game would have been much more one-sided. T8: I made two huge errors in this game due to my fear of the Bantha. The first was that I moved a Jet to a position where focused Vinto could shoot him. The second was that I completely forgot that my opponent could open the door (I tunnel visioned and kept counting as though the Bantha would be going the long way). I also got Crushed AND Jundland Terror'd T1, which was pretty rough. I don't know if I would have won even had I remember that he could open the door, but it certainly would have made a huge difference. What Would I Change? I'd cut Tough Luck completely. I don't think it's anywhere near as relevant in Zillo lists, with the exception of Ranger matchups due to Accuracy. I was frequently unimpressed when I drew it. I'd also cut Disorient, because I think I was being too cute with my intentions for it. It's way too narrow, even though I can still always dump it to Zillo. That's pretty much it. Overall, I thought the list performed extremely well, and even if Nationals were next weekend and I knew all of the lists being played, I'd still probably turn up with this one.

I would like to share with my latest achievement: I've installed without any problem Blu Ray Recorder with ATA connector to my Pi1536. The recorder was manufactured by Panasonic (Matshita) and the model is UJ-220 and UJ-225 will run as well. It's running perfectly on my laptop and it's compatible with Pi1537 / Pi1556 / Pi1557 / Xi1526 / Xi1527 / Xi1546 / Xi1547 cause it's the same platform. All you need is unscrew one screw, take out the old dvd-rw drive, take out the bezel, put the bezel to new drive, put in the new drive and screw it back.
REMEMBER: You need WUXGA LCD (1920x1200) to watch FullHD movies!

The individual is comprised of the body and the mind. Mind-body issues have been at discourse for centuries. How do we separate the mind and body? And how do we reconcile them? How do we think of the mind and body in terms of each other? Deleuze took up the topic, and essentially deconstructed the dichotomy that has put these two elements into different categories. Indeed talking of these human components as two different entities implicates them in a separation. We tend to think of them in a dichotomy. Even in religion, the mind/soul is holy and the body is earthly or profane. The mind is of the non-material world and the body is of the material world. In Buddhism the mind tries to overcome the needs of the body to achieve a higher state of existence and liberation. Other religions hold similar beliefs in one way or another.
Deleuze has found a way to speak of them not only in terms of one another, but in a way to break down these categories. Deleuze developed a theory of percepts and affects to explain the relationship between the material and non-material art work in What is Philosophy?. Though he used this to explain the work of art and the relationship of the artists to the art, it has some very good applications to the mind-body issue. In What is Philosophy? Deleuze says that "[t]he work of art is a being of sensation and nothing else"(What is Philosophy P.164).
However, as he outlines art as something independent of its creator, he explains how it is very much tied to the material thing on which the art is created. For example the sculptor on the rock, the portrait on the canvas etc. He says that the material used in art is part of the sensation captured; "it is difficult in fact to say where the material ends and the sensation begins"(Ibid p.166). Even as Deleuze outlines the independence of each entity, he cannot completely separate the material from the non-material. This theory is grounded in the separation as well as the unity of the material world and the non-material world. It is a metaphysical approach to art, but also a metaphysical approach to thinking of the relationship of the material world to the non-material world. It is precisely this separation and at the same time the unity that Deleuze uses to describe the mind-body dichotomy in The Logic of Sensation by focusing on the figure in Bacon's paintings. He explains how the figure in art is an entity of sensation in which the material world and the non-material world are mediated through the painting of the body. Deleuze says that the "Figure is the sensible form related to a sensation; it acts immediately upon the nervous system, which is of the flesh…(The Logic of Sensation p.34)" Here he makes a connection between the material world of the body and the immaterial world of sensation. One is experienced through another. They are separate entities, but are captured within each other. Also what becomes clear, even as Deleuze separates each entity, is that they are all intertwined. The mind-body issue must be viewed in a similar way; the dichotomy must then be disregarded. The mind and body cannot be placed in opposite categories, and one cannot be more relevant or more essential than the other. They stand together; mind and body.

Thai Translation
While most Westerners refer to the language as Thai, the more widely used name for Thai is Siamese, or Central Thai. As a widely spoken language across the globe, it is an important language for global businesses to consider when expanding their market reach. Lingosphere Group is an NYC-based translation agency with a tram of professional Thai translators ready and capable of providing translations for all of your documents, audio recordings, videos and online content.
Thai translations provided in a variety of industries
While it's important for your professional Thai translator to be extremely knowledgable of both the source and target language, it's equally important that your translator be comfortable with the subject matter in which he's involved. Regardless of your industry, there is a significant amount of terminology, phrasing, and protocol that is used. And while that information may come second nature to you, it likely does not to an outsider. Rather than entrust your translations to someone who has no expertise in your industry, you'll enjoy a far greater and long-term successful relationship with a translator who specializes in your specific niche or industry.
At Lingosphere Group, we work only with translators who demonstrate a narrowed focus. We provide Thai translations for industries including: financial, medical, legal, marketing, and much more. By teaming you with a translator expert in your field, you can feel confident that your translated message is exactly the type of message you're trying to convey to your foreign audiences.

We're delighted to unveil our programme of seminars at the Institute of Historical Research for the next academic year.
The programmes start with a seminar by Rebecca Pearce from Exeter University who will be talking about her research of the historic drought oral history collection. Traditionally, scientists and historians have not collaborated to study the impact of extreme weather events on individuals, however this oral history collection provides an opportunity to look at how individuals interpret historic events and how this affects their views on future risk.
Rebecca's talk is entitled Building resilience through shuttlework: the positive contribution oral testimony can make to climate risk assessments. It takes place at 6pm on October 12 in the John S Cohen room (203), Senate House (north block), Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU.
The seminar is free, open to all and there is no need to book.
The programme for the coming year is as follows (all seminars take place in the same room and same time as above unless otherwise stated):
- Revising The Voice of the Past: oral history's role in a changing world
Joanna Bornat, Open University, and Paul Thompson, Essex University
November 9 in Senate House south block, room SH246
Since Paul Thompson's first edition in 1978, The Voice of the Past has been a classic in making the case for oral history. Nearly 40 years later, the fourth edition, expanded and revised jointly with Joanna Bornat, explores oral history's worldwide development and activity, continues to argue and explain key principles, proposes reliable approaches and sets out ethical guidance for both new and experienced oral historians. This seminar will be chaired by Graham Smith, professor of oral history at Newcastle University.
A discount offer for copies is available. We welcome you to this discussion and celebration.

Ho ho ho and merry marketing! We've got a sleigh full of exciting December marketing ideas from #uglysweaters to celebrating unruly winter temperatures. Let's get started!
December Awareness Causes
The best way to come up with Facebook and Instagram marketing ideas for December is to take a look at what December celebrates—and it's more than just the holidays! December is the awareness month for:
• Business Plans (who knew?)
• Safe Toys and Gifts
• Human Rights
• National Flu Vaccination Week
Flu Shot
Do your part to keep the city healthy by offering free flu shots at your business location. Rite Aid actually has a program for this, where they'll bring everything you need (including a clinical professional) to administer shots to your staff or willing customers.
If you're not into needles, post some helpful tips or facts about the flu shot in hopes of inspiring people to get into their doctor's office asap!
Safe Toys and Gifts
Safe toys and gifts awareness is top of mind for all of those folks with little ones running around. Post links to helpful articles related to the most popular safe toys this season. Bonus if you sell any in-store!
December Holidays
The holiday season is about much more than Santa Claus, especially with eight crazy nights of Hanukkah beginning in early December. Hold an eight-day long promotion or special to coincide with the High Holiday or simply wish everyone a Happy Hanukkah.
Make a Gift Day – First Tuesday after Thanksgiving
Have a product that could make a cute crafting idea? This shop put together a super cute Christmas-themed crafting idea using their products as the building block.
Or think outside the box for the person with no time to craft a homemade gift and encourage a little online shopping for the perfect present at your shop.
National Cookie Day – December 4th
Who doesn't love a big, chocolate chip cookie? National Cookie Day is a day for all cookie lovers to rejoice in their shared love for the timeless treat. Encourage recipe sharing to increase engagement or invite people into the shop for delicious treats on the house!
Pearl Harbor Day – December 7th
Take a moment out of the consumer-driven month of December to acknowledge those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. It's always well-received to create deals and offers for service members on days like today—they deserve it. You could also organize a drive putting care packages together for soldiers overseas commencing on December 7th.
National Gingerbread House Day – December 12th
Host a contest amongst your staff to see who can create the most impressive gingerbread house! Ask your Facebook followers to vote on their favorite and highlight the lucky winner by the end of the day. This is a great way to engage with your followers and connect with your audience.
Or you can be like this dentist and offer alternative gingerbread house-making materials for a healthier activity.
Free Shipping Day – December 18th
This one is pretty self-explanatory. It's Free Shipping Day! To protect your margins a bit, you may want to require that the customer to meet a certain order amount threshold before they're eligible for the free shipping… or be super generous and offer it no matter what. Give back to the community?!
Ugly Sweater Day – Third Friday in December
It's finally here! Encourage your employees to dress up for the occasion and hold a Facebook contest for the best ugly sweater. Ask customers to participate by coming in wearing their gaudy best for a chance to be featured on your Facebook page and win a fun prize—an ugly sweater for next year, perhaps?
And everyone loves a dog in clothes. Dress up your pooch and ask for people to share their best furbaby photos!
First Day of Winter – December 21st
Anyone else feel like the first day of winter should be earlier than the end of December? Well, it's not! Marshalls used the occasion to advertise all of their cozy blankets and throws. Do you have any products or services that pair nicely with the nippy weather?
Or create a poll asking followers to respond using their favorite reaction emoji! This has been a fun new trend in the audience participation realm.
Christmas Eve – December 24th and Christmas Day – December 25th
Take a break from marketing these next couple of days and focus on all the things you're thankful for during the holiday. Highlight the activities you like to do in-store, with staff and with family and friends to provide insight into the human side of your business.
Other Holiday Post Ideas
In addition to Facebook, be sure to create holiday-themed posts for Instagram and even Google My Business. Instagram is a great platform to run a holiday giveaway, and Google My Business Offer and Event posts are perfect for your holiday promotions.
For a list of holidays and ideas throughout the year, take a look at our free full marketing calendar!

My teaching methodology varies from person to person but always starts with first idenitifying eactly what you are having the most trouble understanding. This is extremely important; because, each and every person has their own thought process and background.
I will then tailor explanations and examples to your specific needs. This includes doing step by step problems with you, reviewing homework and tests, while also addressing any other problem areas that arise.
I am an electrical engineering senior at Ohio State, parent and veteran. I have a passion for helping others grasp complicated ideas and have a natrual ability to create creative and personalized examples that facilitate understanding. My personal experiences with turtors has taught me that helping people is really 10% knowledge and 90% communication; because, having the knowledge others lack is useless without also having the ability to share it in a way they can understand.
I am an Electrical engineering student at OSU graduating this December currently employed by LG. I have tutored countless friends and peers and work in a real world engineering environment at LG (where we all basically tutor each other everyday).
mathematics lessons close by? Here's a selection of teacher ads that you can check out.
Superprof can also suggest algebra lessons to help you.
Learning isn't a problem, precalculus & calculus lessons for all!
Taking college / university preparation lessons has never been easier: you're going to learn new skills.

Indoor Wireless Security Camera systems can be found in a number of different styles. Indoor Dome cameras are popular for systems where thievery deterrence is a significant component. The fact is, when individuals visit a camera, they're much less inclined to do anything whatsoever illegal or immoral. Visible Indoor Security Alarm Cameras, like indoor hi-res dome cameras provide high quality video, frequently with wide-position views that may be recorded for your VCR, Standalone DVR or PC-Based DVR recorder.
These Indoor Dome Security Alarm Cameras are also available in Infrared night vision abilities, which offer night vision even just in No-Light conditions at various distances to be able to record what's happening in your house, even if you cannot see whatsoever futuristic homes.
Indoor Covert, hidden style cameras are most likely typically the most popular kind of indoor wireless security camera since these cameras can offer high quality video of within your house, with no you will ever realize they're cameras. These kinds of cameras look like virtually anything, like a book, clock, security alarm motion detector, sprinkler or other things. All these cameras record via a small pinhole lens, so virtually anything could be a camera. These cameras are extremely popular for within homes as they do not stick out upon your décor.
Regardless of whether you choose visible indoor dome style security alarm cameras or indoor covert style cameras, there are several options open to you for monitoring or recording out of your cameras. For fundamental, low quality systems, an easy camera could be connected to the RCA input associated with a television to supply fundamental monitoring in one home security camera (cost varies from $40 - $150 based on camera and cable type) or even the camera could be connected to a current VCR for recording onto standard VHS tapes.
For additional advanced digital systems, as much as 16 cameras could be plugged straight into a Standalone DVR to see all cameras at the same time in your TV, and record the recording to the recycling hard disk within the DVR. These standalone systems are extremely popular since it shows the cameras all on your TV at the same time, and could be controlled having a standard handheld remote control. PC Based Systems will also be a choice, because they provide high quality recording to the hard disk within the PC. These PC-Based DVR Systems are ideal for budget installations, simply because they may use your overall Home windows XP or Vista PC for recording in the cameras.

Last week Mokshapriya (my teacher) asked me to come in to have a little chat about certain things. One on one time with her is special to me but to say that I wasn't nervous, is a lie ha.
I arrived to the Ashram and after a sweet embrace, it was down to business. Mokshapriya pulled up my website and pointed to my tag line "A NYC girl trying to find her Zen" and grunted "What is this? Why are trying to find your zen...why haven't you put into action what I have taught you?"
She explained, that me putting the word "trying" sets it up that I will never achieve my zen because I am putting this word into the Universe. She then proceeded to look at my post from last week in which I spoke about the all or nothing mentality and how "Lately I have been struggling with this way of thinking...". She reminded me that using a powerful word such as "struggling" only invites more struggle into various aspects of my life.
She is absolutely right (duh Mariette) and with that my tagline is now "A NYC Girl Enjoying Her Zen" which is a play on words since my kitty is named Zen ha.
This will be an intense and beautiful life changing year which scares and excites me at the same time...such is life.

While June is an extremely popular month for weddings it is also a great time for newlywed couples to sit down, talk about their household budget and establish some financial priorities for their future. The fact is, a majority of newly married couples begin their marriage with both in debt from either student loans and, sometimes, credit cards.
Recent information released by TransUnion, one of the big three credit reporting agencies, shows that in the five years between 2007 and 2012, student loan balances increased a whopping 75%. They also showed that, on average, consumers have outstanding debt of just under $24,000. And that to the fact that the average credit card debt per consumer is approximately $5200 and you can see where newlywed couples might need a little bit of financial information to get them back on the right financial track.
With that in mind we put together a blog with some excellent personal finance tips for newlywed couples. Enjoy.
- While we realize that love is mostly blind, it's best to know how your future spouse handles their finances before you get married. Just because you agree on everything you should never assume that your spouse to be has the same beliefs and habits when it comes to money that you do.
- Before the big day, you should reveal everything about your finances to your fiancé, including the amount of money that you make, the amount of debt that you have, any tithing that you're involved in and your retirement accounts as well. It's also a great idea to share with each other your bank statements from the past year and compare strengths and weaknesses as far as your spending and saving habits.
- Both spouses-to-be should get copies of their credit reports from the big three credit bureaus. These reports will give you a crystal-clear picture of all of your credit accounts, your debts and so forth. A goal to aim for is a credit score over 750 because this will allow you to get the lowest interest rates on any loans that you wish to take out as a newly married couple, including mortgage loans.
- If the person that you are going to marry has been married before, you should definitely find out about any financial obligations that he or she has to their ex-spouse and to any children that they might have had together.
- It's vital that you have a wedding and reception that you can afford. Starting a life together thousands of dollars in debt because of one party and one vacation is definitely not a great idea.
- If both of you are working and it's possible, you should live on 1 salary and save as much from the second as possible. This is a great way to fund an emergency account and start building your retirement nest egg. It can also help if you decide to change careers, start a business or go back to school, as well as starting a family.
- Avoid credit card debt wherever you can and, if it's not possible for you to pay for something in cash, it may be a better idea to just avoid the purchase until you can.
- If you haven't had any history of paying bills together before you actually get married, one of the first things that you should do before your first bills start coming in is decide who's going to take care of the finances, who's going to take responsibility for paying bills on time and so forth. If you decide to keep separate accounts, knowing who will be paying for what bill and which account will be used is also important.
- Even though you're now a newly married couple, each of you should have a credit card in your own name so that you can build up your individual credit scores. Try to hold on to that credit card as long as possible and use it for a purchase or 2 every month, paying the bill immediately in full at the end of every month. If you can build a long-term credit history with one or two credit cards your credit score should remain very high throughout your marriage.
Marriage is a big step financially and, before taking that step, you and your spouse to be should definitely sit down and have as Frank talk as possible about money. When you consider that problems with money are the number one cause for divorce, it only makes sense to get some of those problems out of the way before the wedding bells ring. Good luck and, of course, congratulations.

Hemlock Ring... I can see the finish line on this lovely project. Between work and school the last rounds are getting done slowly. The photo taken is at row 110. Not sure if I am doing to row 112 or 116. Will do a rough measure of 110 yards for the Bind off to see where I will stop. It is lovely and a wonderful time of year to make this little gem of a throw.
I have had moments here and there to work on Sheldon the Turtle for My grandson's Christmas present. He now has legs and part of a shell. The Shine Sport Yarn is great and soft to work with.
Home sick with a cold...can't do a lot in the way of Anything... Got up for meds and thought to take a few pics to revive my oh so quiet blog. Birthdays and last minute gifts have depleted my cloth stash so I need to start slipping in a few each week.
I am also eager to get back to work on my shrug and the Monkey socks.
School is fun and interesting. I am reading Lanval, Morte Darthur, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. Good stuff!!
