Recently I was invited to Shanghai to speak about the transformational design of businesses at Radical Design Week - Shanghai.
When we use the phrase social enterprise, we all intuitively understand that is in some way different from an orthodox view of how industrial enterprises operate, how they are organised, what is their role and purpose, by which I mean whom do they really serve? And, how in part they make their money. We have to ask therefore - what is the true nature of the social enterprise?
Recently I settled in to listen to In Business with BBC journalist Peter Day. Innovation and transformation of people's lives, economies, etc., is very much part of the No Straight Lines project so I was thrilled to hear Professor Jaideep Prabhu from the Cambridge University Judge Business school and Professor Anil Gupta from the Indian Institute of Management talk about Jugaad Innovation.

WTVP's "Ready To Learn Program" Awarded A $3,000 Grant From the Community Foundation of Central Illinois
Thursday, May 28th, 2009
WTVP has been awarded a $3,000 grant by the Community Foundation of Central Illinois to purchase books to give to Central Illinois children as part of its Ready To Learn Program. With the donation, the station has been able to order 1,250 new books to give to young people to encourage a love of reading and an enthusiasm for learning.
During the past 12½ years, WTVP 47 has truly reached out to the community with tips, techniques, and many new ideas on how to use public television as a springboard to learning—to helping children develop the reading and writing skills so necessary for success in school and in life. Yet when our national grant was phased out on Sept. 30, 2008, WTVP was left without funds to purchase books—a centerpiece of the project—and the entire program was in jeopardy.
Yet now—thanks to the generosity of our community—WTVP has been able to renew its commitment to educate, engage, and inspire young people throughout Central Illinois! The project has been made possible by a grant from the Literacy Fund and the RLI Insurance Company NonEndowed Fund of the Community Foundation of Central Illinois.
From classic stories to animal adventures and from mysteries to picture books, young people will now have many new friends—and many new opportunities—to enjoy never-ending adventures!
For further information contact Linda Milller, WTVP Vice President of

Two weeks ago I had to make an emergency trip to the home improvement store to buy a replacement part for my toilet. The home improvement store shares a strip mall with another big box store and several smaller stores. I parked between the big box store and the home improvement place since that seemed the least congested and I just wanted to get the trip over with.
Anyway, when I stepped out of the car I found $200 in cash lying on the ground. I'm sure someone had it in their pocket and then dragged it out when they pulled out their keys or cell phone. It was two $100 bills folded up together with no identification. No shopping list, no ATM slip, nothing. No one else was getting into or out of cars in the immediate area, so I couldn't ask if anyone had dropped it or seen anyone leaving my space.
Amazed at my luck, I sat back down in the car to think things through for a few minutes. Had there been any identification or even just a phone number there would have been no question about what to do next: I would have found a way to return it. But since cash is effectively untraceable, I had a dilemma on my hands.
Since I'd parked between two stores, with some smaller stores also occupying the shopping center, I had no way of knowing which store(s) the owner of the cash went into. That sort of let out giving it to a lost and found department. If I gave it to the home improvement place but the owner went only to the big box store, he or she would likely never go into the home store to inquire about the lost money, and vice versa. Factor in the smaller stores and the wind and the breeze generated by passing cars that might have pushed the money from one end of the parking lot to the other and it becomes almost impossible to figure out where the person might have intended to shop. Plus, when you turn in cash to a lost and found you're assuming that the employees will actually hold it to see if anyone claims it, instead of keeping it for themselves.
Eventually I decided to go into the two big stores and give my name and number to the managers on duty. I simply told them that I'd found a large amount of cash in the parking lot and if anyone came looking for it to have them call me and identify how much they'd lost. I decided to wait a week and see what happened.
I didn't know what else to do. Usually I find pennies, dimes, the occasional dollar or, once, a twenty dollar bill. Those sorts of finds are pretty easy to say, "I'll just keep it." But $200 is a lot of money, especially during the Christmas season. I knew someone was going to be really upset that they'd lost it, but I didn't have any real ideas about what else to do.
After thinking some more, I called the police station to see if they had any ideas or if they could hold it in case someone called to claim it. They said that they really don't get involved with lost property unless it's a "substantial amount of cash" (thousands of dollars), or if it is identifiable in some way (like a ring, wallet, or a watch). It's a big city, so I guess they just don't have time to deal with small stuff.
A week went by and no one called me to ask about the money. I decided the money was mine to keep at that point. Lost is lost and no amount of wandering around the city on my part was going to find the owner. Who knows if the person was even from the area or just passing through. I still hated the idea of keeping the money, so ultimately I gave it all to one of my favorite local charities. At least someone is going to benefit from the money this Christmas.
I still wonder if I made the right choice, but I still don't know what else I could have done. I feel better that I didn't keep it and spend it on something frivolous, but it still bugs me that someone, somewhere, is out $200.
This little moral dilemma of mine makes me want to offer one suggestion to my readers. If you are carrying large amounts of cash, make sure to keep it in a wallet or envelope with identification, put a sticky note on it with your information, or in some other way make sure it can get back to you. You may not get it back because some people will still keep something that has a name printed on it. But you will make things easier for people like me who genuinely want to give your money back.

Now, I will freely admit I am not a fan of e-readers, no matter how wonderful everyone says they are. I do, however, understand the value in being able to carry a few hundred books with you at all times contained in a very light tablet. What I am not interested in doing is buying one just for travel, however. This looks like a darn fine solution to being able to have books with me, since I would be able to read them on my laptop (which of course I would be carrying anyway), without having to go to the expense of buying a Kindle (or whatever other brand).
The product is named, appropriately enough if not very creatively, 3,000 Classic Books. As you might imagine, it's a flash drive that contains, well...3,000 classic books. Authors range from Jane Austen to H.G. Wells, with just about everyone else in between. It requires no special software; all you have to do is plug it into a USB port and start losing yourself in the world of Elizabeth Bennett and her sisters, or poor Pip and his trials and tribulations. All of the titles contained on the flash drive are classic novels, so don't expect to see the latest James Patterson or Janet Evanovich on there. All you get is good, timeless literature. If one can say "all" in regards to such a wonderful collection.
Here's the best part. A book of this sort typically costs somewhere between five and 10 dollars. If you do the quick math on that, and assuming only $5 per title, you're looking at $15,000 worth of reading material. This flash drive costs just $30.00 US. How can you say no?

Lip Balm Addicts, Rejoice!Even though this product didn't plump as well as it promised to, I am still incredibly impressed. The amazing smell and great feel alone are reasons to try this incredible lip balm! The smooth texture is perfect for wearing either alone, or over a lip stain, and the sweet smell makes up for a lack of taste. Definitely grab a tube of this before your next sexy, naughty little makeout session.
This balm smells amazing, feels great, and lasts for a very long time.
Balm can feel gritty, and it doesn't provide as much of a plumping effect as I was expecting.
I am a self-professed lip balm addict. I buy it constantly, and I'm always on the lookout for delicious new products. And this pomegranate plumping lip balm by DONA (previously System Jo) is some of the most amazing lip balm I've ever encountered. While the plumping effect isn't incredible, the taste, scent, and feel of this lip balm is so wonderful. It provides a wonderful light tingling sensation, and while this may not be best for people with chapped lips or cold sore outbreaks, I find it quite pleasant. With ingredients such as Olive fruit oil, cocoa butter, beeswax, shea butter, castor seed oil, jojoba seed oil, vitamin E, vitamin C, honeysuckle extract, and more, this is a thick, creamy, nourishing lip balm that will make your lips feel smooth, sweet, and sexy.
Texture / Consistency / Thickness / Viscosity
The texture of the lip balm, to me, is amazing. It's nice and thick, not synthetic feeling, and with a little bit of a "grit" that I personally find nice. It almost provides a sensation of exfoliating. The thickness means that it stays on for a good long time (I've found I can almost go an hour without reapplying), and the feel never gets tacky or sticky. The natural ingredients mean that this is a very gentle lip balm, which, as someone with sensitive skin, is a definite plus for me. The overall texture is a bit of grit up front with a very creamy, thick after effect.
Taste / Aroma
The taste of this lip balm is not strong at all. In fact, I'd wager to say that most of the "taste" is actually an effect from the strong smell. The smell is a very strong pomegranate scent, which is really very pleasant. I actually prefer lip balm to be tasteless, as it keeps me from licking my lips and drying them out more, so the lack of taste is a plus for me. However, if you prefer for your lip balm to taste really good, you probably might like to skip this one.
The performance from the DONA lip balm was extremely impressive. Normally on me, lip balm lasts between 15-30 minutes before I either want to wash it off or reapply more. I have sensitive skin, and strange sensations normally bother me. But the initial light tingling and remaining creamy texture of this lip balm lasted for at least an hour, and was overall extremely pleasant. I liked the smell the best. It was nice to be going about my business and then suddenly catch the aroma of pomegranate. It absorbs into the skin of the lips nicely, and does provide (in my experience, at least) a very mild plumping sensation.
The packaging of the DONA lip balm is very, very aesthetically pleasing. The tube is a dark brown/black color, with pale pink lettering. It's extremely classy and sophisticated looking, and nothing about it screams sex. I actually shared it with my mother and she was none the wiser that it "came from a sex shop." It comes in a traditional "chapstick" type tube, which is convenient and travels well. No instructions came with the product, but it's (in my opinion) very self-explanatory. The container does not leak or run, and it's been one of my favorite lip balm containers I've seen. The sophisticated look makes this a nice gift. The only thing I would advice against is keeping it away from water, as the label does not seem to be waterproof.
Personal comments
Like I said, I am a lip balm addict, and this is one of my favorite products I've ever used. It smells incredible, feels amazing (and very sexy), and would be a great addition to any makeup bag. I highly recommend it.
Follow-up commentary 15 days after original review
I've owned this lip balm for a few weeks now, and I am still rejoicing every time I pull it out of my bag! It smells amazing, lasts forever, and I'm already itching to try all the different scents. If you love lip balm, and want to make your lips kissably smooth for the lover in your life (or just for yourself, if you're single like me!), definitely grab a tube (or five!) of this amazing balm.

By Paige Schilt, April 26, 2013 | More posts by Paige Schilt
When I was growing up, my family had a Mother's Day ritual. Dad would bring the kids to a department store, give us each $10 and let us loose to find a gift for Mom.
One year, my 8-year-old sister — whose thrift was legendary even then — was overwhelmed by a display of pricey gold-plated bracelets. "But what will I have left when I'm old?" she lamented, before reluctantly handing over her whole $10.
As a mom myself, I know the best presents have nothing to do with price. Last year, my son's third grade class organized a "day of beauty" for all the moms and grandmas. Tiny hands massaged our shoulders, buffed our nails and brushed our hair. The bravest moms opted for full makeovers with lipstick, eye shadow and blush! The kids clearly loved caring for the grown-up women in their lives; even the gruffest third-grade tough guy was happy to buff his grandma's nails until they gleamed!
If you're planning a special day for the moms and grandmas in your life, check out our recipe for a Raw Honey Face Mask. It's made with simple ingredients wholesome enough for little hands to mix themselves.
Want to add a present without breaking into the piggybank? Use this $4-off coupon from Mineral Fusion. Choose from a variety of products for face, lips or eyes—anything from tinted moisturizer to powder, bronzer, lip gloss or eye shadow.
Mineral Fusion products feature light-reflecting minerals, so Mom's outer radiance can match her inner beauty. And they're made without parabens, phthalates, talc or artificial fragrances, so Mom can feel good about what goes on her skin. Your gift of TLC also helps women in need; Mineral Fusion donates a portion of proceeds and products to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence to help end violence and empower survivors.
Does your family have a Mother's Day ritual to share? What else can kids contribute to Mom's special day?

There has been far worse said about Volquez and even disagreement with Dusty's choice with nothing to back it up (in this very thread), and yet you choose to make a point responding to a post of mine in which I say that I don't think he has the makeup to be a big game pitcher. I'm cornfused.
What are you talking about?
Starting with the four games in Colorado, the lackluster 4-3 homestand against the lowly Pirates and Diamondbacks, the 4-5 final road trip of the year and then last Wednesday's white flag game, the Reds left a number of wins on the table the last month of the season. This entire city had a blast last night Tuesday night with what transpired - myself included - but in reality the division should have been clinched on the preceding road trip, and the team should have been sitting on more than merely 91 regular season wins.
I do think we have a pretty good chance to even things up Friday night, but if the Reds come home down 0-2, then there will be an awful lot of reasons to look back on the final four weeks of the season and wonder why they let the Giants pass them by.
The Lost Decade Average Season: 74-88
2014-16 Average Season: 69-93
I blame Bob Boone
Can't win with 'em
Can't win without 'em
In all honestly, wouldn't this be the way we have to do this?
We were the only team in baseball history to blow to 6 runs leads in the ninth inning.
So we get no hit in the opener and man up in game 2 and even the series going home.
EDITED TO ADD: And just to be clear, given my expectations at the beginning of the year, I think I feel that way.
You can pick that apart to find whatever holes in his defense that you'd like to find, but it's like saying Jay Bruce isn't good off of ground ball pitchers or something like that. In total, he's been an above average defender this year.
Something that won't happen: Dusty said before the game when asked about his gameplan for tonight that he didn't want to say because "Halladay might be listening." Since whatever that plan was failed, will anyone repeat the question as to what the gameplan was? I didn't see one, and frankly, I'd bet Dusty didn't have one.

Google plans to pay Android application developers starting in the first quarter of 2009 for each application sold, with 70% of the proceedings to the developer, and to keep 30% for itself, to cover carrier and billing-settlement fees.
In an email from the Android Market, Eric Chu said:
"Android Market will support priced applications starting early Q1 2009, as we'd originally stated last fall. Given the country-by-country work required to set up payment support for developers in different countries, we will enable priced app support in Q1 for developers operating in these countries, in the following order: (1) United States and UK; (2) Germany, Austria and Netherlands; (3) France, Italy and Spain."
This policy change to Google's growing app store, to compete with the already very successful Apple iPhone AppStore, could bring forth a new number of developers to help increase the number of applications in its marketplace, helping to push creativity in the global trend of mobile applications.
It is no surprise Google has entered the market of paying developers for per application sold, where consumers see no problem on purchasing applications, games and other content for their mobile phones. Developers have also been patiently waiting to release their applications on the Blackberry Application store.

TOUR Championship, Rd. 1: Quick look at each player's roundJason Day carded a 68 despite not playing a practice round due to a sinus infection.September 19, 2013
By Helen Ross and Brian Wacker, PGATOUR.COM
ATLANTA -- Here's a one-sentence review of each player's opening round Thursday at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola.
Player Score Comment Henrik Stenson 64 Tied for first in strokes-gained putting, second in GIR and sixth in fairways hit
Adam Scott 65 After turning in 1 over, he made three straight birdies twice during a back-nine 29
Billy Horschel 66 TOUR Championship rookie only missed one green in regulation Steve Stricker 66 Tied for first in strokes-gained putting, using only 28 total Roberto Castro
67 Estimated he played 100 rounds at East Lake in college but 67 was great pro debut Dustin Johnson 68 Other than two poor iron shots, DJ was "pretty pleased" with ball striking Sergio Garcia 68 Shot his eighth round in the 60s in his last 13 trips at East Lake Charl Schwartzel 68 His approach shots were spot-on, finding the green 15 of 18 times Webb Simpson 68 Opened with consecutive birdies but bogeyed the last hole Jordan Spieth 68 After six birdies and four bogeys, Spieth said he wants to be "smarter" on the greens Jason Day 68 Didn't play a practice round because he was fighting a sinus infection Justin Rose 68 This was his 11th sub-par score in his last 17 rounds at East Lake Graham DeLaet 68 Got hot as he made the turn, making four birdies in five holes starting at No. 8 Kevin Streelman 69 Tied for first in fairways hit with 10 and hit 13 greens but 31 putts held him back Brandt Snedeker 69 As expected, defending champ was solid with the flat stick, using just 27 Matt Kuchar 69 Started fast with birdies at Nos. 3 and 4 but couldn't maintain the momentum Zach Johnson 69 Started and ended with bogeys but made three straight birdies beginning at No. 9 Luke Donald 70 In his last 13 rounds at East Lake Donald has only shot 70 or higher five times Brendon de Jonge 70 Only hit half the fairways in his TOUR Championship debut Boo Weekley 70 Hasn't played at East Lake since 2007 when he also opened with a 70 Gary Woodland 70 Had three bogeys, a double bogey and five birdies. Made two putts outside 9 feet Bill Haas 70 Bogeyed two of first four holes; but had back-to-back birdies on Nos. 8 and 9 Hunter Mahan 70 Made first birdie on the ninth; made just one more the rest of the day Jim Furyk 70 Took 31 putts; totaled as many bogeys -- four -- as he did birdies Phil Mickelson 71 Missed four putts inside 10 feet; totaled two bogeys and one birdie D.A. Points 72 Four bogeys over first 13 holes -- until two birdies over his last four holes Keegan Bradley 72 Hit just six fairways on his way to three bogeys and just one birdie Nick Watney 72 Struggled down the stretch with bogeys on four of his final seven holes Tiger Woods 73 Only player without a birdie. Only eighth time in TOUR event (seventh as pro) without one Jason Dufner 74 Failed to break 70 for the sixth straight round this season

The suspect pointed a silver semi-automatic handgun and demanded money from an employee in the Canyon Country restaurant, said Lt. Brenda Cambra. He took off with an unknown amount of cash about 50 minutes after midnight on Sunday, she said.
The suspect is described as a black male age 20 to 26, weighing 150 to 160 pounds and standing 5-feet, 10-inches tall. He was wearing a black, hooded sweatshirt and blue pants, Cambra said.
The man escaped out the back door of the restaurant and into a nearby wash. Officials set up a containment in the area but the suspect was not found, Cambra said.
Anyone with information can call the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff's Station at (661) 255-1121.

Maserati Quattroporte III/Royale AM330 31979 - 1990
Model: Quattroporte (1963 - ...)
Wikipedia (Quattroporte): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maserati_Quattroporte
Considered a "businessman's Maserati," the Quattroporte III was presented by newly empowered Maserati chief Alejandro de Tomaso and his design staff in 1977. This was a rear wheel drive car, powered by a large V8 engine. It was important to de Tomaso that there be an Italian vehicle to compete with the recently launched Mercedes-Benz 450SEL 6.9. The Quattroporte III marked the last of the hand-built Italian cars. All exterior joints and seams were filled to give a seamless appearance.
In 1976, Giorgetto Giugiaro presented two ItalDesign show cars on Maserati platforms, called the Medici I and Medici II. The latter had features that would make it into the production of the third-generation Quattroporte. At the 1977 Turin Motor Show, Maserati announced the Quattroporte III (Tipo AM 330), which took much from the Medici show cars, based on Maserati's Kyalami coupé, which in turn was based on the De Tomaso Longchamp. Styling emphasis was placed on linearity, which was also useful to reduce tooling cost.
The Quattroporte III went into production in 1979, equipped with a 4,136 cc V8 engine (referred to as the "4200" by Maserati) producing 255 hp (190 kW; 259 PS), later 238 hp (177 kW; 241 PS) (SAE). Also available was a 4.9-litre V8 producing 280 hp (209 kW; 284 PS) at 5,800 rpm). A distinguishing characteristic of the vehicle was its interior. The automatics initially used a three-speed Borg–Warner automatic transmission, soon replaced by a Chrysler Torqueflite gearbox. Manual gearboxes were ZF-built five-speeds. The smaller engine was phased out in 1985. When leaving the factory all "4200" Maseratis were originally fitted with Pirelli Cinturato 205VR15 tyres (CN72).
From 1979 up to 1981 "4porte" badging was used, changed to Quattroporte for up to 1989. In 1986, the Maserati Royale, a handbuilt to order ultra-luxury version of the Quattroporte III, appeared. The engine was upgraded to 295 hp (220 kW; 299 PS) (SAE).
In all, 2,155 Quattroporte IIIs were produced, including one for Italian presidential use and 53 of them being Royales. Production ceased in 1990.
Turinese coachbuilder Salvatore Diomante also offered a 65 cm longer limousine version, fully equipped with white leather, "abundant burr walnut", mini-bar, video recorder and many other necessities. The price of the Diomante limousine at introduction (1986) was 210 million lire.

Better late than never -- Microsoft to fix Pwn2Own flaw
Patch Tuesday approaches quickly. That time of the month when Microsoft deems it appropriate to fix the myriad security flaws that rear their ugly heads during the preceding time frame. As is custom, the company gives advance notice of what to expect, but no details regarding actual flaws -- a nod to not allowing (more) hackers to take advantage of the issues discovered.
May 14th is the next scheduled update of your Windows computer, and it will carry along 10 bulletins with it. A couple of these patch much publicized holes in Internet Explorer, one of which the company just released a "Fix it" tool designed to temporarily mend.
Another mends the highly publicized Pwn2Own flaw discovered and exploited at the CanSecWest conference back in March. For the record, Chrome and Firefox also went down in the competition.
The remaining critical patches will fix a denial of service hole within Windows, fix a spoofing issue in that as well as the .NET framework, patch a remote code execution bug in Lync, two remote code execution flaws and one information disclosure problem in Office, an information disclosure vulnerability in Windows Essentials, and an elevation of privilege defect in Windows. Take a deep breath now.
Microsoft also plans to host a webcast to address customer questions on the security bulletins on May 15, 2013, at 11:00 AM Pacific Time. While all of these updates are important -- critical one might say -- the fact it took this long to fix the pwn2own flaw is a bit troubling -- Chrome and Firefox did so within days of the competition.

There is little comfort from the line-up of main investors
PICC is keen to float and that puts it in a weakened bargaining position. Further, it may be doing the right job, but not a great one
Related topics
The initial public offering of the mainland's largest general insurer, People's Insurance Company (Group) of China (PICC), raises lots of doubts.
The firm is trying to answer them with a US$500 million investment by American International Group. Yet, can it?
PICC gets 90 per cent of its profit from its property and casualty insurance business, which is already listed in Hong Kong via its PICC Property and Casualty (PICC P&C) unit. Question No 1 is: Why put your money into the parent and add the risk of its underperforming life and health business?
On the surface, AIG is the perfect answer. It has held 9.9 per cent of PICC P&C since 2003. It has been busy selling assets to repay the US government's bailout fund. There must be something very good in PICC for it to put in its hard-earned cash.
Comparing the present deal with the one in 2003, that "something very good" seems more so for AIG than PICC shareholders.
A condition of the new deal is AIG can dump its PICC stake if the firms fail to agree on the establishment of an insurance agency joint venture by May 31 next year, That puts PICC in a very weak position in its joint venture negotiations.
It's déjà vu from 2003. In return for a HK$1 billion investment and a boost to its unpopular float, PICC P&C signed an accord that promised AIG juicy reinsurance business for an indefinite period.
PICC P&C's annual reports show reinsurance premiums ceded to AIG amounted to 266 million, 619 million and 739 million yuan in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively. No figures have been provided since, although they are related parties.
That accounts for about 7 per cent to 8 per cent of PICC P&C's reinsurance premiums ceded. Assuming that ratio remains, AIG would have secured about two billion yuan each year of its partner's average total of 25 billion reinsurance premium ceded in the past four years.
Insiders said that doubles what AIG's 1,000-strong team has secured on its own.
The mainland firm does not have much choice. As in 2003, the market is not favourable to listings. Delay is not acceptable, because its solvency ratio has dropped from 165 per cent last year to 156 per cent on June 30 owing to business expansion.
It needs the money to boost the ratio before it drops below 150 per cent, which will largely reduce its flexibility in paying dividends under present regulatory requirements.
If AIG offers little comfort, how about the 16 investors who are chipping in US$1.3 billion? Well, a look at their background will make you think.
They can be roughly divided into four groups. First, there are the mainland industry players - China Life Insurance, China Reinsurance and China Export and Credit Insurance. All are spin-offs from PICC.
"Their managers have eaten in the same canteen and lived in the same compound," an industry insider said.
More importantly, like PICC, they are owned by the Ministry of Finance and regulated by the China Insurance Regulatory Commission. It is hard for them to say no to the boss.
Next come the foreign insurers - French reinsurer Scor; Japanese giant Tokio Marine; and Russia's second-largest insurer, Ingosstrakh.
PICC has committed to give Tokio 177 million yuan in reinsurance business in the coming three years, a 150 per cent rise from the previous three years. Tokio is also a joint venture partner of PICC. Scor and Ingosstrakh are eager to expand their business in China. The Russian firm signed a co-operation accord with PICC as early as 2003.
The third group includes state-owned enterprises State Grid, China National Machinery Industry and China Aerospace Science and Technology. All three are among the biggest buyers of property insurance. And to support major offerings, it's no news that the Ministry of Finance has offered to mitigate investment losses via tax rebates to SOEs.
Last are the non-state players. Zhongrong International Trust and Fosun International have made public their expansion into the insurance business. It doesn't hurt to make friends with the big boys and the regulator.
Then there are two mainland hedge fund managers, Munsun Asset Management and Pinpoint Asset Management. The involvement of these two newly established funds offers more worries than comfort.
If one can't rely on the cornerstone investors, how about the insurer's management? Of its 13-strong board, seven are working or retired bureaucrats from the ministry, CIRC or bank regulator. There is no external expert in insurance or business.
Perhaps that's an honest reflection of the company's mission - doing the right job in a heavily regulated environment. But if you are looking for someone who will do a great job, PICC may not be your choice.

The Winter Olympics start this week! I can't wait. In honor of the games being held in Russia, I researched some recipes and gave them a try. One of the recipes I loved were traditional Blini or Russian Crepes.
I grew up having "Rolie Polies." My Aunt Janet called them that and the name stuck. I didn't even know that the real name was crepes until I went away to college. At school we had a floor lounge where we could make simple dishes (reaaaaally simple dishes- it wasn't a kitchen). One of my friends had a crepe maker that we all loved to use. She eventually gave me one that I have held on to for over fifteen years. I pulled it out for this recipe. I couldn't find my version online but this crepe maker is similar to the one that I own. Using a crepe maker makes is so easy. All you do is turn it on, put the batter in a shallow dish, dip the maker into the batter and wait until the light turns on that it's done. It's totally worth the $30ish in my opinion for the headache free, perfectly done crepes. But don't use cooking spray. I learned that the hard way! *Affiliate links were used above.
To make crepes, you only need a handful of ingredients and a little patience. If you don't have a crepe maker, it takes some practice to get the right rhythm down in the pan. The two biggest things are- use a small amount of batter (thin layer) and quickly tilting the pan in a circular motion.
Recipe slightly adapted from Russian Bites.
According to articles I read traditional Blini is served with sweetened condensed milk, jam and/or sour cream. While I had those options available for my family, I also pulled out fresh fruit, Nutella and powdered sugar.
When we made these crepes I had some Vanilla Strawberry Whip on hand. Josh went weak in the knees when I added it to the crepes. Whip some up and spread a layer in the crepes.
Are you excited for the Olympics too? Make sure to download Opening Ceremony BINGO sheets:

How Will the Fannie and Freddie Takeovers Affect U.S. Debt?
Question: Can you explain how the U.S. government's take over of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac affect interest on the debt now and in coming years?
Paul Solman: No. Actually, I CAN explain, but I think you want me to estimate the cost, and that I cannot do. Why? Because there's no way of even knowing if the takeover will eventually cost money, or actually wind up MAKING money for taxpayers. In short, the impact on our national debt — and thus on the interest we pay on it — could be either negative or positive.
How so? you may ask.
Well, Fannie and Freddie buy home mortgages, insure and resell them: MBS, or mortgage-backed securities. Sometimes, they hold onto the mortgage securities themselves as an investment.
If the underlying mortgages go up in value, the Fannie and Freddie portfolios are worth more. Remember, they were making big PROFITS just a few years ago. Any FUTURE profits, like "this land" in Woody Guthrie's song, are made for you and me.

Beware. After asking the waitress to verify with the chef that my selection was gluten free she returned with a dish that included something that looked remarkably like the pasta orzo. When I asked her if she would just double check with the chef she returned and said the chef assured her it was. When I asked specifically about the orzo looking pieces she said "Oh, that's just pasta." When I explained to her pasta is made with wheat and wheat contains gluten she just shrugged and said "I didn't know. The chef said it was all right." and walked off. No appology, no comments.

Vogue Knitting Live
Posted on | September 22, 2011 | 8 Comments
This weekend is the Vogue Knitting Live event in Los Angeles. I have two new patterns which will be for sale in kit form at the Knit Culture booth. I'm going to be hanging out, wandering around on Saturday, ~excited to see my friend~ Mary Jane Mucklestone, and hope to see lots of knitters!!!
Sunday at 10:00 am I'll be at the Knit Culture booth. Please come by and say hi.
Here is my glamorous friend Gracie (check out her Persimmon jewelry line) modeling Let it Be Hat and Cuffs: both pieces are knit in the round, edged in classic Feather and Fan stitch. It's a great pattern for knitting a quick gift for someone you love or for yourself : ) The yarn is Dream in Color Smooshy with Cashmere, it's soft soft soft and gorgeous color.
Heartswing is worked in the lovely, so lovely I want to taste it, Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light. I personally, have knit this shawl so many times I can't count.
Artist Annie Buckley kindly modeled Heartswing shawl. She has a beautiful smile, but I want to show you how the lace looks : )
It's been a year of meditative knitting for me and for much of the knitting I kept myself busy making this shawl design. I hope knitters will enjoy making it as much as I have.
Both patterns are now available for purchase on Ravelry as pdf downloads.
Heartswing $6.00

|I think I may have climbed this route. It seemed like it started a bit more than 40' to the right of Comic Book though. The route I did had four bolts up a slab to a two bolt anchor by a yucca plant I think. Loose flaky rock but new bolts are what I remember. It felt like 5.9.

|The climbing between the widely spaced bolts is mostly low angled and easy. There are a few sections though, where shorter folks will have to commit to some steep moves a long way past your last bolt to clip. Probably not the best route for the budding 5.8 leader. Two bolts with hangers only up top, so bring some extra webbing in case the stuff up there is mank. Looks short from the ground, but longer than 50 feet, maybe 70-80.

Hurricanes and drought touch home

With the year coming to a close, many feel the pressure of hitting those final revenue goals. For many businesses, that final push can often be the difference between a happy holiday and a more challenging start to the new year.
As a reactive measure, marketers often rush to pour the last of their budget into traditional channels to drive traffic and revenue. The reality is however, these channels can be costly (like search), take time to build results (like SEO) and deliver low click-throughs and ROI (like display ads).
Alternatively, content marketing is a highly effective way to help boost your holiday traffic and sales. While it is predominantly viewed as a top of funnel driver, engaging and useful content not only builds immediate audience interest but can trigger them through to conversion by way of this increased engagement.
Engaging content doesn't have to drain the resources or the last of that marketing budget. Existing content can be repurposed: Older yet timeless blog posts can be surfaced, blog posts can become newsletters and earned media like great press coverage or product review can be re-circulated.
The beauty of content marketing is that its effectiveness isn't limited to a specific vertical nor does it exclude the ability to engage a niche audience.
Boutique Homes, a luxury home and small hotel rentals site, wanted to distribute its company blog content across the web to increase bookings particularly over the holiday period. In the past, the company had worked with other travel blogs to promote its content but this tactic didn't deliver the results or sales desired.
Working with Outbrain, Boutique Homes was able to:
– Increase traffic 364% from 10 000 to 46,400 visits over a 4 month period.
– Generate 32.2M impressions
– Produce 79,835 visits to their blog

Emergency procedures for crisis situations
We invite you to become familiar with these procedures. It is important that all members of our school community feel safe when they are in our schools. Learn more about the reasons for an emergency response, what happens in the classroom, and how we communicate these situations to parents.
1. Shelter in Place - low level response to threat
Students stay inside the building due a potential threat outside.
2. Secure School - moderate level response
Students stay in their classrooms and all building doors are locked.
3. Lockdown - highest level response
Students remain silent behind locked classroom doors, with the lights off, until 911 arrives.

Author | exchange4media News Service | Monday, Jun 13,2016 8:08 AM
A new report by the WFA (World Federation of Advertisers) says that globally, ad fraud might be in the range of 10 per cent to 30 per cent, though the writers of the report also agree that the actual number could be way more than 30 per cent, with some estimates quoted by WFA suggesting a figure as high as 90 per cent.
"By 2025 the total global investment on digital media is projected to be within a range of $400 billion to $500 billion. If just 10 per cent of the upper limit within this range is exposed to ad fraud, this will be second only to cocaine and opiate markets as a form of organised crime," the report states.
These numbers highlight an increasingly pertinent issue in today's digital age where a large percentage of ads are either not getting delivered due to technical reasons or are being viewed by bots.
The WFA's numbers seem to be in line by other independent studies done over the years. Mobile ad tech firm AppLift found in a report done in 2015 that 34 per cent of all mobile traffic is at risk of fraud. Even the IAB, in a joint report with EY released in December 2015, said that fraudulent impressions, infringed content, and malvertising cost the U.S. digital marketing, advertising, and media industry $8.2 billion annually.
Digital advertising specialists we have spoken to also generally agree that around 30-40 per cent of all digital ad inventory or traffic is fraudulent.
Coming back to the WFA study, the report states, "30 per cent of the $150 billion market in 2016 would equate to $45 billion. Assuming that this would remain constant over the next 9 years, so growth comes only through the enlargement of the digital advertising market, ad fraud would represent $140 billion by 2025."
Findings from WFA research identify that 9 in 10 (92 per cent) of advertiser respondents agree that ad fraud is perpetuated by the structure and systems in the digital media ecosystem. The study suggests that it is incumbent upon the ecosystem, including publishers and others on the sell-side, plus programmatic companies, agencies and others on the demand-side, to prove that the capability to effectively deal with ad fraud is in place. Until this time, advertisers should use caution in relation to their overall digital media investment, to limit the growth of ad fraud and their exposure to it.
However, this is easier said than done, especially since not many on the supply side, including ad networks and publishers might want to appreciate the size of the problem. For example, the head of one ad tech firm told us that brands need to start looking at the quality of ads they are buying more minutely and regularly without just blindly trusting digital partners.
Even the WFA report urges users that virtually any programmatic buy can be exposed to ad fraud; even direct programmatic TV buys are vulnerable. "Any claims to the contrary should be treated with caution," it advises brands, while further suggesting that the industry's focus should be concentrated on the two areas where the ad fraud money is being made - spam-sites and sourced traffic.

Win a Smashing Pumpkins 'Aeroplane Flies High' Deluxe Box Set!
The Smashing Pumpkins reissued their platinum-selling 1996 box set 'The Aeroplane Flies High' on July 23, and the release marks an essential piece of the Smashing Pumpkins' history. And to celebrate its arrival, Loudwire is teaming up with Noisecreep and Diffuser.fm to give away 'Aeroplane Flies High' package to one lucky fan.
'The Aeroplane Flies High' reissued box set comes in a variety of formats, and we're giving away the Deluxe Edition 6 CD / 1 DVD version. The original 'Aeroplane Flies High' box set featured expanded versions of the singles from their 1995 double album, 'Mellon Collie & the Infinite Sadness.' The revised box set includes the original 33 'Aeroplane Flies High' songs, and 104 expanded tracks (90 audio and 14 audio-visual) encompassing unreleased demos, alternate versions and live recordings. A 46-page book also comes with 'The Aeroplane Flies High,' featuring extensive track-by-track notes from Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan.
"What I like about The Aeroplane Flies High is that it's almost the existential backwater of the Mellon Collie album," Corgan says. "Listening to the music gathered here is a little bit like seeing what goes on behind the walls of Disneyland. I've always been fascinated with places that are very well constructed, and finding out what's really going on just over the fence. You look over that gate and notice that things on the other side are not well painted—or maybe you spot that guy dressed as some character sneaking a smoke on his break. At least for me, the behind the scenes feel heard on The Aeroplane Flies High represents something revealing not found on the main album. In retrospect, it's a nice document of how we arrived at the apex of Mellon Collie—and also what standing on that apex did to us personally."
Enter above for a chance to win this Smashing Pumpkins, 'The Aeroplane Flies High' giveaway. The more options you choose, the more entries to get. This contest will close on Sept. 2. See the official rules here. If you'd like to get your hands on this awesome Pumpkins box set now, you can see the full track list and find out where to purchase it right here.

I picked up a used Graber trunk rack at a rummage sale, but I have a question about the carrier arm holddown saddle that I am hoping somebody can answer. One of the carrier arms (right arm in the photo) has a standard holddown, but the left carrier arm has a sturdier holddown saddle that can either be turned horizontal to secure the top tube of the bike, or it can be turned vertical to secure the seat tube of the bike. Does anyone know the correct orientation for these type of hold down saddles? I initially thought that horizontal was the correct orientation, however the fact that the saddle is not centered makes me wonder if vertical is the correct way.

Some quotes from article via NYPost
Four well-heeled New York Democrats are under investigation by an Ohio prosecutor for setting up a temporary home in the swing state – where two have already cast their ballots – just so that their votes will be counted there, The Post has learned.
The targets of the probe – including the daughter and son-in-law of a New York City real-estate titan, a former New York Sun reporter and a Bank of New York Mellon executive – are connected to Vote From Home, a Manhattan-based political action committee set up to get voters to the polls in Ohio, where residents are allowed to cast ballots 29 days before Election Day, investigators said.
The New Yorkers and nine other members from across the country are accused of packing themselves into a modest three-bedroom house in Columbus, waiting 30 days – and then registering, even though the Buckeye State is not their permanent residence.
Under Ohio law, a person who comes to the state for "temporary purposes only," without the intention of making it the "permanent place of abode" is not considered a resident. New permanent residents must live in Ohio 30 days before registering.
Four group members, including two of the New Yorkers, have already cast ballots, and six others requested absentee ballots from the county elections board.

Pepo's WEG hat-trick: rider shines in third Games discipline
Up to 2008, Austrian Pepo Puch was a leading international eventer, competing in the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens for Croatia. Before that, he was a top endurance rider, and was European champion over 160km in 1990 with Flip Flop & Fly.
But in 2008, a bad fall left him with no feeling in his legs. As expected, horse riding was an integral part of his rehabilitation and it brought him into the world of para-equestrian sport.
At his first major event, at the 2012 Paralympics in London, he was champion in 1b, and he is now in Caen for this fourth World Equestrian Games, but his first as a para-equestrian.
Puch, 48, will ride his London 2012 mount, Fine Feeling, a 17-year-old hanoverian mare by Fabriano. "She's doing great and is in top form. I've been letting her rest up for the Games. Obviously, we're going to do everything we can to be the best, even if at the team level I think it's going to be tough for Austria to place in the top five. Individually, anything could happen," he said.
In June at Magna Racino, he set a new world record, besting his previous world record of 80.917% set last year in Mannheim. Competing in the musical freestyle to Bryan Adams' film soundtrack Spirit, Puch earned a record breaking score of 82.583% from the jury and head judge Dr. Eva Maria Bachinger.
Puch is impressed with the Games thus far. "Everything is excellent. The schedules, especially the schooling arenas, are jam packed, but I'm incredibly happy to be in Caen, right in the centre of the event. The course is just fabulous," he said.
"I'm going to do everything possible to make the most of my Games, including supporting my Eventing teammates."

Police officers today managed to cripple but not quite destroy the largest cocaine smuggling and selling operation in northern New York State in a series of rapid early morning raids, state and Federal officials said. The raids netted a few prize suspects, including a 24-year-old Mohawk man who, the officials said, ran the drug network from his home here.
By the time they were finished, shortly before 8 A.M., about 180 police officers from 13 New York, Federal, Canadian and local agencies, including the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police Department, had captured 26 suspects and charged them with possession and conspiracy to sell cocaine and marijuana, officials said.
But officials said they still wanted to arrest 13 additional suspects, including a man in a Massachusetts nursing home.
Police officials described today's raids as the culmination of a yearlong investigation into the network that controlled hundreds of pounds of South American cocaine, worth millions of dollars, that they said flowed over the border each week in both directions.
The officials said the most common route for this and other contraband, including liquor, cigarettes and approximately 300 illegal immigrants, most of them Chinese, runs through the 14,000-acre St. Regis Mohawk Reservation, which reaches from the northern edge of New York over the St. Lawrence River and into Canada.Continue reading the main story
The Mohawk tribe has an agreement with Federal and state officials that prohibits police from patrolling the miles of river shoreline and dozens of islands and inlets inside Indian territory.
That is the major reason why the reservation ''is one of the most controversial pieces of real estate'' in northern New York, according to a United States Customs agent, Mike Bridgeman.
''This is a significant step in dealing with the drug trafficking problem'' in northern New York, Thomas J. Maroney, United States Attorney for the Northern District of New York, said in a telephone interview from Albany this afternoon.
Maj. William Warburton, commander of a State Police Troop in Ray Brook, 60 miles southeast of the reservation, called today's action ''certainly the largest drug investigation and arrests that we've ever had.''
The raids were coordinated by the New York State Police, and most of them were conducted at the homes of suspects, many of whom live on or near the reservation.
Police officials, who gathered in Ray Brook to announce the arrests, were pleased that the raids were swift and without injury, but they stressed that the roots of the cocaine trade ran deep.
Andrew Schrader, the District Attorney for Franklin County, which abuts the reservation, expressed caution. ''I don't pretend that we've wiped out drug activity in Franklin County,'' he said. ''We've made a major dent'' he said, but ''we definitely did not get everybody out.''
Bill Hebert, a special agent with the Albany office of the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration, added, ''It's just a matter of time before someone else picks up the ball again and runs with it.''
The arrests started shortly after midnight, when undercover agents' tried to buy cocaine from Jason Anderson, the man suspected of running the drug network, Capt. Peter W. Person of the State Police said. When the purchase broke down, Mr. Anderson went home in an extremely agitated state, Captain Person said, arousing fears that he might flee and causing officers to decide to arrest him as soon as possible.
The rest of the raids started as planned, about 5 P.M., with the arrest of another man who lives on the reservation, Peter Clute, 28. Officials said he helped Mr. Anderson bring cocaine into the United States, mostly from South America and through Montreal.
Along with the 26 people arrested, the police also confiscated 19 shotguns and handguns, Mr. Anderson's 1999 Cadillac and pickup truck, $862 and a small amount of cocaine and marijuana.
Recent raids have seized far more cash and drugs. Canadian authorities seized nearly 10 pounds of cocaine a month ago, and last week the United States Border Patrol discovered about $330,000 in suspected drug money in a car being driven down from Canada on Interstate 87.
