If Jeremy Corbyn had made Boris Johnson's 'missteps', the media would have flayed him
A Moseley reader draws attention to an article by Peter Oborne, who marvels at media sycophancy: "Whatever Johnson does or says – however incompetent, immoral, ignorant or foolish – is strong, visionary and wise . . . We've seen nothing like this level of command and control of leading Fleet Street papers since the early years of Tony Blair, when editors and media bosses doffed their caps to Blair's media advisers, Alastair Campbell and Peter Mandelson. That ended badly. The lack of criticism of New Labour helped create the hubris that led to the Iraq calamity".
He asks us to imagine that Jeremy Corbyn became prime minister last week, put there by 93,000 mainly left-wing Labour members, and:
- that he then reshaped the Cabinet to make sure it was filled with personal loyalists, immediately sacking almost every centrist minister,
- that within minutes of kissing the hand of the Queen, he breached royal protocolby briefing the press about what the monarch had told him in private,
- that he committed himself to investing tens of billions of pounds in extra government spending within days of entering office, sending the pound into free-fall, hitting a two-year low,
- that he'd just ditched his wife of twenty-six years standing, and the mother of his four children, and installed in Downing Street a 31-year old girlfriend,
- that his new home secretary had been forced to resign in disgracejust two years earlier for secret meetings with a foreign government – and that he knew this, but still appointed her,
- that his education secretary had also been recently dismissed in disgrace for a gross breach of national security,
- that the new transport secretary had been found to have had a second job under a pseudonym while an MP – something he admitted to only after years of publicly denying the claims
- and that his most senior adviser was in contempt of parliamentafter refusing to appear before and give evidence to a select committee.
Oborne (right) continues: "all this is exactly what happened within days of Johnson entering No 10 last week. The collapsed pound. The girlfriend trouble. The dodgy cabinet appointments. The royal indiscretion".
He asks us to imagine the media response if Jeremy Corbyn had acted in this way – "The outrage. The fury. The disbelief. The mockery. The newspaper headlines would be universally hostile. Chaos in Downing Street. Corbyn and his government would be flayed alive".
Instead, Boris Johnson has been widely praised for 'an almost faultless move into Downing Street':
"It's been a good week for Boris Johnson's government," drooled Christopher Hope, chief political correspondent for the Daily Telegraph. The Spectator praised Johnson as a man "dismissed as a philandering clown" but who has "confounded" his critics "at every stage". The Times discerned Johnson's "decisive action" in creating his new cabinet. The Telegraph opined that Johnson's no-deal strategy sent a 'clear message to the EU' ".
Oborne asks: "could it be that the rules of political reporting have changed?"
Rule 1: However incompetent, immoral, ignorant or foolish – Johnson is strong, visionary and wise.
Rule 2: Only Johnson's opponents can be ruled offside, and only he is allowed to score the goals.
And ends, "It's time Fleet Street woke up and asked difficult questions about Johnson's Brexit plans. If Brexit goes wrong, Johnson won't be forgiven – nor will the papers that backed him. It's time to end the sycophancy".
Peter Oborne won best commentary/blogging in 2017 and was named freelancer of the year in 2016 at the Online Media Awards for articles he wrote for Middle East Eye. He also was British Press Awards Columnist of the Year 2013. He resigned as chief political columnist of the Daily Telegraph in 2015. His books include The Triumph of the Political Class, The Rise of Political Lying, and Why the West is Wrong about Nuclear Iran.
Corbyn's proposals: the Murdoch version – or the FT account?
FT: Jeremy Corbyn set out proposals in a letter to the leaders of other opposition parties and senior backbench MPs to form a temporary government which would request an extension to Article 50 in an effort to avoid a no-deal Brexit.
Sun ('demanding' and 'begging') Jeremy Corbyn has demanded rebel MPs make him caretaker PM as his price to stop Boris Johnson's No Deal Brexit. He said he will only strike if they promise to give up on their plot to install a Caroline Lucas-style national unity government and hand him the No10 keys. In return, he would beg the EU to delay Brexit yet again and promise to hold a swift election.
FT: in the ensuing general election, Labour would stand on a platform of holding a second referendum on the terms of leaving the EU, including an option to remain in the bloc.
Sun: Green MP Caroline Lucas was also critical, and called for a new Brexit referendum.
FT: No reference
Sun: Lib Dem leader Jo Swinson mocked Mr Corbyn's plan as "a nonsense".
FT: Ms Swinson said: "This letter is just more red lines that are about him and his position and is not a serious attempt to find the right solution and build a consensus to stop a no-deal Brexit."
Sun: The SNP's Ian Blackford chucked cold water on his plot, for now.
FT: Ian Blackford, the Scottish National Party's leader in Westminster, welcomed Mr Corbyn's proposal and said the party would support any no-confidence motion table aimed at bringing down Mr Johnson's government. "I will be pleased to meet with the Labour leader and others at the earliest opportunity to work together," he said.
FT: MP Liz Saville Roberts (left), the Westminster leader of Plaid Cymru, also welcomed Mr Corbyn's plan and said "the crisis we find ourselves in goes beyond personalities".
Post-PMQs: surely the views of over 100 distinguished Jewish signatories outweigh those of 60 assorted Labour Lords
In an unsuccessful effort to deflect attention from Mr Corbyn's questions about climate change during today's PMQs, Theresa May forcefully – even maliciously – demanded an apology for his 'failure to deal with anti-semitism within the Labour party'.
The following snapshots were taken as they spoke.
She referred to a full page advertisement in the Guardian paid for by 60 'distinguished' Labour peers, attacking Jeremy Corbyn over anti-Semitism – as reported in the Murdoch Press.
Watch the exchange by clicking on this link (6 mins) and note the difference in demeanour as Jeremy Corbyn – impressively cool under fire – sets the record straight and tenaciously continues to challenge the government on the contrast between its rhetoric and its actions on climate change.
This welcome financial windfall for the Guardian, which occupies several inches of space after every online article asking for donations, recalls its withdrawal – after a communication from the Jewish Board of Deputies – of a previously published letter supporting Labour loyalist MP, Chris Williamson. It had over 100 Jewish signatories – many of whom evidently deserve to be described as distinguished.
The list of these signatories and their affiliations has, however, been saved by people who are beginning to expect this sort of mainstream skulduggery and may be seen here.
As the 'censored' Guardian letter said, such attacks on Jeremy Corbyn's supporters aim to undermine the Labour party's leadership, but – we add – they can rebound on the perpetrators.
Media 99: Anti-semitism campaign a fabrication – Norman Finkelstein charges the British elite & its media
Richard House has drawn attention to the latest Media Lens report: 'Suspending Chris Williamson – The Fury And The Fakery' – which includes a comment in a forceful and eloquent video by American political scientist, activist, professor and author, Norman Finkelstein (right), whose mother survived the Warsaw Ghetto, the Majdanek concentration camp and two slave labour camps and whose father was a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto and the Auschwitz concentration camp. He writes:
'Corbyn . . . did not present a threat only to Israel and Israel's supporters, he posed a threat to the whole British elite. Across the board, from the Guardian to the Daily Mail, they all joined in the new anti-semitism campaign . . . this whole completely contrived, fabricated, absurd and obscene assault on this alleged Labour anti-semitism, of which there is exactly zero evidence, zero.'
Media Lens points out that more than 150 Labour MPs and peers – the "infamously pro-war, Blairite section of the party have added to the propaganda blitz by protesting against the decision to readmit Williamson in a statement led by the bitterly anti-Corbyn deputy leader Tom Watson".
A recent blog on the Jewish Voices for Labour site also stated that a "hostile, personal campaign is being waged against Chris, who is a hard-working and diligent MP with great standing in his constituency and a strong record of anti-racist campaigning".
It adds: "This country stands in desperate need of a Labour government under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, aiming to unite people around protection and promotion of hard won rights and services, the party needs the dedication and principled commitment of Chris Williamson and others like him".
In 2018, Noam Chomsky commented on this campaign: 'The charges of anti-Semitism against Corbyn are without merit, an underhanded contribution to the disgraceful efforts to fend off the threat that a political party might emerge that is led by an admirable and decent human being, a party that is actually committed to the interests and just demands of its popular constituency and the great majority of the population generally, while also authentically concerned with the rights of suffering and oppressed people throughout the world. Plainly an intolerable threat to order.' (Chomsky, email to Media Lens, 9 September 2018).
He commented on these issues again this month in correspondence with journalist Matt Kennard:
'The way charges of anti-Semitism are being used in Britain to undermine the Corbyn-led Labour Party is not only a disgrace, but also – to put it simply – an insult to the memory of the victims of the Holocaust. The charges against Chris Williamson (right) are a case in point. There is nothing even remotely anti-Semitic in his statement that Labour has "given too much ground" and "been too apologetic" in defending its record of addressing "the scourge of anti-Semitism" beyond that of any other party, as he himself had done, on public platforms and in the streets.'
Media Lens' challenging conclusion asks what sanction the Labour Party should put on those politicians who personally voted to authorise illegal British and US wars in countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria – acts which did not merely offend but killed, maimed and displaced millions of people, bringing whole countries to their knees.
A Corbyn government will need support from openly selected MPs and a mass members' movement to bring about beneficial change
An editorial by Ben Chacko opens with a reference to civil servants apparently briefing the press against Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn – a further sign of the strain a truly radical opposition is putting on our political system.
As many are aware, those in power have been waging a vigorous and largely untruthful campaign against Corbyn ever since he became leader.
Chacko (right) predicts that this will intensify if he enters office:
"Labour's radical programme will face parliamentary sabotage, which is why open selection of Labour MPs to improve the character of the parliamentary party is essential.
"It will face legal challenges from corporations with bottomless wallets, institutional interference from the judiciary and the EU if we haven't left the latter, economic warfare, meddling by foreign powers such as the United States, perhaps even the military putsch mooted in 2015".
John McDonnell has often said that when Labour goes into office we will all go into office – and Chacko stresses:
"We need to build a mass movement of trade unions, campaign groups such as the People's Assembly and community organisations fighting for change in every workplace, every town hall and every high street to make those words a reality".
Only by building up united and determined pressure 'from below' will the political-corporate grip on power be broken.

Venezuela: Murdoch press publishes Pompeo's Corbyn slur while the FT sheds a positive light on events
As other papers headline the US secretary of state's strictures on China, Iran and UK, the Times reports a remark made by Mike Pompeo about Jeremy Corbyn's "disgusting" support for the Maduro regime – his refusal to denounce the president of Venezuela and his praise of the socialist regime's "effective and serious" efforts to reduce poverty.
Mainstream media rarely refers to the US' economic warfare, its imposition of sanctions on this oil-rich country, which are leading to food shortages and civil unrest and still less to the damaging IMF austerity regime.
The US and around 50 other countries say Mr Maduro is clinging to power on the basis of bogus elections – despite the reports of international observers – see Media Lens' evidence. As Ian MacLeod, in Manufacturing Consent in Venezuela: Media Misreporting of a Country, 1998–2014, published in December, finds:
"The major newspapers in the UK and US reproduce the ideology of Western governments, ignoring strong empirical evidence challenging those positions"'
Alan MacLeod, a member of Glasgow University's respected Media Group, documented the bias throughout the Chavez era in his book, Bad News from Venezuela: Twenty years of fake news and misreporting.
Fair, an American media bias watch group, published a February article by Mark Cook, Venezuela Coverage Takes Us Back to Golden Age of Lying About Latin America. Mark, writing from his home in Caracas, effectively and entertainingly debunks the allegations of shortages of food and painkillers.
As many countries predict the imminent bankruptcy of the regime, the FT – which notes Washington's 'relentless social media campaign against the Maduro government' – alone in mainstream media presents (rather reluctantly) some evidence challenging the totally negative picture presented.
It reports today that some substantial debts are being paid and that the Venezuelan people are tired of the conflict – no longer responding to Mr Guaidó's calls to demonstrate.
Venezuela is paying debts
- State-owned oil company PDVSA, is paying holders of PDVSA's bonds, due in 2020, the $71m in interest payments owed from late April.
- In mid-April, Russia's Finance Minister announced the Maduro government had paid more than $100m to cover an interest payment due in March
- In the first quarter of this year, ConocoPhillips disclosed that it had received $147m from PDVSA as part of a settlement awarded by an ICC tribunal.
Venezuelans are tired of the conflict and no longer responding to Mr Guaidó's calls to demonstrate
In another FT article, planning a Saturday march to win over the military, Mr Guaidó urged his followers to march to military installations and hand over copies of a letter in which he urged the armed forces to support a "peaceful transition". But few people heeded the call and even Mr Guaidó, who had been expected to lead one of the marches, did not turn up.
State of play (FT)
Mr Guaidó has acknowledged that he does not yet command enough support within the military to force regime change.
Mr Maduro has accepted that his administration needs to "rectify mistakes". To that end, he authorised thousands of popular "assemblies" over the weekend to discuss what needs to be changed.
Murdoch Times warns of a 'revolution' – so always keep ahold of nurse for fear of finding something worse
Today in the Sunday Times leader, the un-named author/s summarised the results of the local elections before moving on to what they called "The real story of these elections . . . the journey towards self-destruction of a once-great political party, the Tories" – opening the way for a Labour government led by Jeremy Corbyn.
The Momentum myth
They described the 'hard-left takeover' of what until four years ago was a moderate, centre-left party continuing. "Should it succeed in taking Mr Corbyn and John McDonnell into Downing Street, the revolution would be complete". Pictured, so-called 'hard-left' revolutionaries in our second city: stable, thoughtful, courteous, concerned.
The so-called progress that has enriched Britain's 1% since the 1980s – they forecast – would be destroyed in several ways:
- plans to renationalise the water industry without anything like full compensation for shareholders,
- which could easily be the template for other parts of the economy,
- the return of state control
- and the re-unionisation of the workforce
It could easily happen:
"The Tories and Labour were tied on 31% each in Thursday's elections. This would be enough, in our first-past-the-post system, to give the Tories 279 Commons seats and Labour 268. Mr Corbyn, under these circumstances, could form an alliance with the Scottish National Party to govern, a prospect that would not only guarantee a swathe of left-wing policies but would also bring the break-up of the United Kingdom much closer".
And once the Brexit Party is added to the mix, with its capacity to damage the Tories in a general election as well as the forthcoming European elections, Labour's chances would improve immeasurably. It might just win with a low share of the vote. The Tories would have brought this about, but the whole country would be the loser:
"Mr Corbyn can still win . . . Italy may be the 'sick man of Europe' for now, but under Labour that title would be up for grabs again".
Ed: The 1% might well feel sick, but the 99% would benefit enormously from having a uniquely caring, corporate-free, incorruptible prime minister.
2. 'Absurd': Corbyn 'hetze' boomerangs on the ill-prepared
A Bradford reader thinks that there is definitely a 'Hetze' against Jeremy Corbyn, of which the furore about his praise for Hobson's book is only the most recent example.
He points out that the book has been widely acknowledged as a key historical text. Routledge describes its 1902 publication, Imperialism: A Study, by English economist John Hobson (right), as "an epoch-making study of the politics and economics of imperialism that shook imperialist beliefs to their core".
The review continues: "A committed liberal, Hobson was deeply sceptical about the aims and claims of imperialistic thought at a time when Britain's empire held sway over a vast portion of the globe".
Our reader draws attention to Hobson's reference to the "ignominious passion of Judenhetze" – a total vindication of the man
Martin Ceadel, in Semi-detached idealists: The British peace movement and international relations, 1854-1945 (Oxford University. Press, 2000, p.155), writes: 'J.A. Hobson, an Oxford-educated economist who had been denied academic preferment on account of his heterodox opinions, reported on South Africa for the Manchester Guardian and published three books on the conflict. The first … was a survey of the local origins of the war. It emphasized the role of "a small confederacy of international financiers working through a kept press". Although Hobson was embarrassed by the fact that many of these were Jewish, noting the difficulty of stating "the truth about our doings in South Africa without seeming to appeal to the ignominious passion of Judenhetze",(30) some other opponents of the war, including the budding writers G.K. Chesteron and Hilaire Belloc, welcomed the chance the war offered to indulge in anti-Semitism.' (31*).
In addition to the response of Bradford peace historian, Hon. General Coordinator of the International Network of Museums for Peace and others, Donald Sassoon, Emeritus professor of comparative European history, Queen Mary University of London, quotes more extreme expressions used at the time by Virginia Woolf and even Theodor Herzl, the "father" of Zionism. He concludes:
"The campaign about antisemitism in Corbyn's Labour party is getting absurd. Hobson's Imperialism: A Study has been taught for years in universities up and down the country (I taught it myself). No one has ever felt the need to highlight the 10 lines or so, in a book of 400 pages, which are antisemitic, but Corbyn was expected to do so".
The book has been widely acknowledged as a key historical text
In a 1995 pamphlet for the Fabians (page 11), Tony Blair described Hobson as "probably the most famous Liberal convert to what was then literally 'new Labour'."
In his 2005 Chatham House speech on liberty and the role of the state, Gordon Brown cited Hobson with approval.
The cover of the 2011 edition published by Spokesman Books (left), to which Jeremy Corbyn wrote the foreword, carries a Guardian review which said Hobson's Imperialism belongs to the small group of books in the years from 1900 to the outbreak of war that have definitely changed the contours of social thought.'
In 2015 the Guardian's former political editor Michael White wrote: "At his Nottingham rally someone thrust into my hand a copy of JA Hobson's influential classic, Imperialism (1902) whose 2011 edition contains Jeremy's own perfectly decent introductory essay. Its analysis will impress many".
Yesterday, Phil Miller, journalist, researcher and film producer quoted Glyn Secker, secretary of Jewish Voice for Labour: "Daniel Finkelstein, in his scurrilous piece for the Times (April 30th), ingeniously cobbles together quotes from two different books by Hobson . . . (he) does in one passage make a reference to the Jewish element in international finance and to the Rothschilds as did many others at that time. But he also referred to JP Morgan and Cecil Rhodes — neither of them Jewish — as examples of financiers backing imperialism".
On May 1st and 2nd, Henry Zeffman produced two similar articles for the Times on the subject. In one, he added that Barry Gardiner, the shadow international trade secretary, told BBC Radio 5 Live that Hobson was a key figure in intellectual history and that the book was a seminal work on imperialism. "He is a historical figure who was an intellectual who understand the transition from imperialism into a new society. Insofar as that book is an important book, does it contain the antisemitism of its period? Yes it does. Do we expunge a book like that from the historical record and say nobody should read it? No. Of course they should."
And Jeremy Corbyn's record vindicates him; MP Chris Williamson has pointed out that the Labour party, and in particular the leader, has done more, recently, to address the scourge of anti-Semitism than any political party.
The unconvinced may read forty reasons listed by Anna Boyle illustrating the truth of his statement.
*Footnote 30 refers to Hobson's The War in South Africa: Its Causes and Effects (1900), 189, 229.
*Footnote 31: C. Hirschfield, 'The Anglo-Boer War and the Issue of Jewish Culpability', Journal of Contemporary History, 15 (1980), 19-31.
Amended: 6th May 2019
1. Driven by 'desperation & weakness'? Murdoch Times' latest attempt to smear Jeremy Corbyn
Corbyn has stumbled on to a battlefield, little prepared for the heavy historic burden he shoulders
Award-winning journalist Jonathan Cook points out that, despite Corbyn's years spent as an anti-racism activist, the corporate elite have 'weaponised' anti-semitism not because they care about the safety of Jews, or because they really believe that Corbyn is anti-semitic – witness his support for the Palestinian people who are also semitic.
"Corbyn has become a lightning rod for the wider machinations of the ruling elite. They want him destroyed, like blowing up a bridge to stop an advancing army . . . It is a sign both of their desperation & their weakness that they have had to resort to the nuclear option, smearing him as an anti-semite.
"They chose it because it is the most destructive weapon – short of sex-crime smears & assassination – they have in their armoury . . . (they) are exploiting British Jews & fuelling their fears as part of a much larger power game in which all of us – the 99% – are expendable. Other, lesser smears were tried first:
- that he was not presidential enough to lead Britain;
- that he was anti-establishment;
- that he was unpatriotic;
- that he might be a traitor.
"None worked. If anything, they made him more popular".
And so a "more incendiary charge was primed"
In 2011, Jeremy Corbyn wrote a foreword for a revised edition of Imperialism: A Study, written by John A Hobson in 1902. In his commentary, FT journalist Jim Pickard shows no interest in Corbyn's most serious charges – that NATO had been responsible for a "military reoccupation" of Europe after the second world war and that the US had been trying "to create an empire of the mind" through weaponry, the CIA and the use of culture and the media.
Instead, the Times and the Financial Times have focussed on Hobson's statement that "the very heart of the business capital of every state, (is) controlled, so far as Europe is concerned, by men of a single and peculiar race, who have behind them many centuries of financial experience, they are in a unique position to control the policy of nations."
*The fact that control of the press, banking and economic monopolies at the time rested mainly in Jewish hands is not disputed and they confine themselves to criticising as anti-Semitic the expression of these truths, in an early 20th century form of 'political correctness' – branding the Labour Party leader as being guilty by association.
*For further reading about the extent of Jewish economic power in Victorian times see the Jewish academic Vadim Rossman: 'Russian Intellectual Antisemitism in the Post-Communist Era': pp105-7
Next post: 2. 'Absurd': Corbyn 'hetze' boomerangs on the ill-prepared
Frantic Murdoch fights back as Labour rises in the polls
Propaganda pervading the Times online today
And seven articles headlined:
- Labour's hate files expose Jeremy Corbyn's anti‑semite army: no reference made to the support given by many Jewish people recently* and in the past.
- Vile anti-semitic taunts met with 'a slap on the wrist'. (Labour files, local elections)
- Official blocked bid to bar Labour candidate accused of abuse
- Corbyn climbs aboard as May tries to save her sinking ship
- Matt Hancock: Tories must attract youth or face defeat . . . his party must bridge the generation gap if it is to avoid handing the keys to No 10 to Jeremy Corbyn
- Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn dance close, cudgels hidden, locked in a dangerous embrace, each hopes the other will suffer more.
- The war for Labour's iron throne: like Game of Thrones, the party's left and right are locked in an eternal power struggle.
Taking Peter Oborne's words about Corbyn's manifesto out of context, many will agree that once again, as expected, "Jeremy Corbyn is being traduced and misrepresented, by the establishment and its mouthpieces . . . That is wrong – and a betrayal of British democracy".

ClickFunnels vs Infusionsoft

At it's core, Infusionsoft is a CRM system – one that enables you to handle your whole client data source. ClickFunnels has this capacity with Actionetics, but it's not nearly as advanced as Infusionsoft.

So, I've not worked today.
Why? Well… errr. No good reason. I meant to, I really did, then I got sucked into Livejournal, then I noticed that my copy of Series One of the Fast Show'd arrived, so I watched an episode of that… Awww. Ted and Ralph. Awww.
My hands have been driving me nuts recently; they've been very painful as is pretty common with me when I'm typing too much. And when I was practicing the guitar they were complaining. I don't know if it's because I'm tired, but the other thought which occured to me was that maybe it was the awful posture and positioning enforced by the arms on my officechair. I've been thinking for ages – I don't like them and I don't want them. It's my chair… so I removed them today. And y'know what, it's way better. I curl up a lot – which is part of my awful posture – but I never could with the chair the way it was. It also forced me to sit a distance I found incredibly uncomfortable from the desk (the arms'd hit the desk). Of course, now I've become aware just how twisted I've been sitting – especially because my monitor's at an angle. So now I'm sat at an incredible angle to the desk to get 'comfortable'. I think I need to change this layout though. It's already driving me insane. But my hands are hurting less already.
At least I got enough sleep. Yesterday I really felt so tired, so tired I didn't feel able to do anything. Today I feel more or less human; oh and I've got half a Pizza for dinner. Woot!
My package made it to Alaska, which rocks. And I've got a big 'ol letter to reply to, music to listen to on the way to work, And half a ton of American chocolate to eat. Muuuh. The world is good :-)
The news, incidentally, that I was alluding to yesterday is my plan to buy a house. When my dad died, it turned out that the many and various pensions he'd accrued over the years – and which kept my family in near bankruptcy for years – and which meant that he'd never have had the money to live on – because they were all such a mess. Well, they all paid out when he died, because he died so young.
Despite attempts to persuade her otherwise, my mum doesn't want the money, but I'm not allowed to just have it because I will just give it to friends, I'll spend it on crap, I'll waste it. So it's to go on a house. It makes me sad, because I know how much my dad would have loved doing up a house with me – and he knew this stuff so well. He could have designed a central heating system and put it in in his sleep. Ring mains? He knew how to design complete electrical systems for houses. He just knew it.
And we used to be quite the family team; my dad designing, building and prepping, me building and fixing and prepping and my mum painting and doing the interior design. And we all enjoyed it. And now, well, it's just going to be me – my mum's too ill to do it, and my dad's dead. It's funny the things that make you cry, isn't it?
So I'm really going to miss him doing this. But.
My original plan was just to save the money 'til I went to Canada – but the realisation that it'd be 2 (at least) years of living in shitty accomodation I can barely afford; of being completely broke in a house I probably won't like. So I suddenly thought, I can probably afford a house in need of renovation – especially at auction, so I think we'll go that way. Think? Know. Well. I'm going to pop round 'state agents, maybe this weekend, and see. Well, after I've stared at a map. Either that or on Friday. If I can will myself to look 'neat' at my Work Based Learning Day. It'd probably make more sense, then I can go get a Police Uniform on Saturday before getting on with work. And I've got lots of work to do. Behind? I've barely started. And this morning's not helped.
I keep going to lean on the arms on the chair. It's very odd, but much better now they're not here. So that's me news.

Though many law enforcement agencies have already recognized the benefits of recording law enforcement interviews, they may not be taking full advantage—or even be aware—of advancements in recording technology and interview room management systems. Tried and true "home-brewed" surveillance and recording systems may be familiar and comfortable, but a dedicated interview room management system provides a time- and cost-efficient alternative to those dated and often clunky, piecemeal digital video recording systems. As an added bonus, the increase in departmental productivity quickly offsets the start-up cost of the new system. Still not convinced? Here are seven more things to consider when making the case for an upgrade from a dated video recording system to an interview room management system from CaseCracker:

CalPERS money firms queried / Regulators have contacted 15 of 60 companies
Federal and state investigators have questioned at least 15 of the more than 60 investment firms that help manage money for California's state pension system about their trading, state documents show.
The California Public Employees' Retirement System, the country's largest pension fund, sent questionnaires to all its money managers in November, after a number of investment firms around the country were accused of improper trading of mutual funds. The move is part of an effort to weed out rogue companies and come up with better standards for its contractors to follow.
MBA BY THE BAY: See how an MBA could change your life with SFGATE's interactive directory of Bay Area programs.
In the wake of revelations about some of its money mangers, CalPERS has already fired Putnam Investments, placed Alliance Capital Management on an internal "watch list" and will consider taking action against Franklin Resources of San Mateo next month.
"We're trying to protect the money of our 1.4 million members," said CalPERS spokesman Brad Pacheco. "We're concerned that these firms have breached their fiduciary duty. We need firms who are ethical."
Up to now, CalPERS has not disclosed results of its survey. However, in response to a Public Records Act request by The Chronicle, CalPERS provided the letters it received from 59 money managers that replied to its questionnaires. Several of the firms have already publicly said they have been contacted by regulators, but the survey also uncovered some investment firms that have not been previously identified, including AXA Rosenberg of Orinda.
Several of those companies, including, AXA Rosenberg, said they thought they had been contacted as part of a broad industry sweep of the $7 trillion mutual fund industry, and were not specific targets.
But so far, at least four of CalPERS' managers have been accused of improper trading or confirmed they are the subject of an investigation:
-- Putnam Investments, which was charged with fraud for refusing to enforce its own rules barring investors from rapidly trading in and out of funds. Some investors have used the tactic, also known as market timing, to profit handsomely by taking advantage of stale prices that haven't been adjusted for the latest market news, but many mutual fund firms ban the practice because it can drive up funds' expenses and hurt other investors.
-- Alliance Capital Management, which CalPERS put on its watch list in December after the firm said it uncovered agreements that let some favored investors jump in and out funds.
-- Wilshire Associates of Santa Monica. The company has publicly acknowledged the Securities and Exchange Commission is reviewing its short- term mutual fund trading. Wilshire has insisted that the hedging strategy did not violate any laws.
-- Franklin, parent of Franklin Templeton Investments, which has received subpoenas from New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer, Massachusetts Secretary of State William Galvin and California Attorney General Bill Lockyer. Investigators are looking into the propriety of payments made to Morgan Stanley to promote its funds and the possibility that a Franklin salesman helped Prudential Securities evade market-timing restrictions.
Though Franklin told CalPERS in November that its internal investigation did not uncover any wrongdoing so far, the company has since suspended three employees for improper trading.
In December, Franklin said it placed two employees, a fund trader and an executive on leave for rapidly buying and selling securities in their 401(k) retirement accounts, despite rules barring the practice. The company also suspended another employee but didn't give any details about the person's misconduct.
In light of the most recent revelations, CalPERS said it plans to discuss whether to terminate its contract with Franklin at its investment meeting next month. "Franklin will be subjected to the same scrutiny as Putnam and Alliance, " said Christy Wood, a senior investment officer for CalPERS. Franklin manages $780 million in U.S. stocks for the pension fund.
In the next few weeks, Wood said, CalPERS investment staffers will visit Franklin's offices, seek more information from the company and make a recommendation at the Feb. 17 meeting on whether to pull Franklin's contract or take other action against the firm.
Earlier this month, Lockyer also subpoenaed two other firms that do business with CalPERS, the Capital Group Companies of Los Angeles, parent of the American Funds, and Pacific Investment Management Co. in Newport Beach (Orange County), better known as Pimco. Lockyer is examining whether the commissions paid to Morgan Stanley to recommend specific mutual funds defrauded investors.
Some other companies CalPERS works with, however, said they have simply received generic requests from information from the SEC or Spitzer's office as part of a broad industry sweep. Last fall, the SEC sent letters to 88 of the largest mutual fund companies and 34 brokerages, largely in an effort to gauge the extent of improper trading, rather than zeroing in on suspect firms.
Other firms who said they have been contacted by the SEC or state regulators include: BlackRock of New York; Dimensional Fund Advisors of Santa Monica; AXA Rosenberg; Grantham, Mayo Van Otterloo & Co. of Boston; State Street Global Advisors of Boston; Schroder Investment Management of New York; JP Morgan Investment Management of New York; GE Asset Management of Stamford, Conn.; and Artisan Partners of Milwaukee. Several, including AXA Rosenberg and Artisan, specifically said they do not believe they are the target of an investigation.
Another firm, Westcap Investors LLC in Los Angeles, also said it is not the target of any probe but said the SEC did find a few instances of improper trading in its last routine audit in late 1999.
Specifically, the SEC found two cases where employees at the investment firm improperly made trades the same day as the firm's clients traded the same securities.
In general, such trades could spark concerns that employees at investment companies might be trying to profit from inside information about its clients' trades, especially in small stocks that can move sharply based on a few major trades. Westcap's letter said the trades occurred before the client's trades, though Westcap Managing Director Geoff Edelstein said they actually occurred afterward.
In any case, Edelstein said the trades involved large-cap stocks, which are less likely to react wildly after a few trades, and it didn't appear employees were trying to profit from inside information.
"These were very small errors with no impact on our clients or the market as a whole," Edelstein said.
Moreover, Westcap said, it has since tightened its procedures to avoid the appearance of improper personal trading in the future, including hiring an outside consultant to review its trades. In its most recent report, the consultant didn't find any instances of improper trading by employees.
Wood, the CalPERS investment officer, declined to comment about Westcap but said in general that it's common for the SEC to find a few improper trades. She said CalPERS is more concerned about a larger pattern of improper conduct, particularly instances in which executives do little or nothing to prevent it.
"Any kind of human behavior can happen in investments firms," Wood said. "It is really a matter of how management responds that is important in the long run."
Wood said CalPERS hasn't formally summarized all the responses it has received from its investment mangers, and plans to spend the next few months sorting through the documents.

Read more about how to tell if a girl likes you here.
If this is the case there is zero doubt this girl has a crush on you. Some boys have a hard time with this one so I'm going to clear things up for you. When a girl is fidgeting, it means she seriously does have an interest in you. If a girl is willing to use the word "we", you are on the right track.
If she is constantly on your mind, you may love her. Don't tell her how you thought she would feel or react. You can write a short, simple note, a heart-felt love letter, or even a sincere poem.
That's why it is crucial to be able to notice those signs that show that a girl like you. If, when your legs touch, the girl doesn't move her leg away, then she probably has a crush on you.
Friends can go places together and have a really great time and some day become more than just friends. Ypu haven't asked her out so she doesn't know how you actually feel. After i got home i suggested we do it again and she was straight on it and said she would love to do it again sometime. We don't talk that much, but when we do she seem genuine. Once you let go of the dream of being with her, you will start noticing the good qualities in other girls.
why doesnt she want to know more about me; we are only talking surface matters, a little bit flirty or about her. This girl actually do send some signals which shows that she is interested in me.
When a girl exposes her neck, it generally means that she's turned on and attracted to you. Now, if a girl doesn't try to come close to you, it doesn't necessarily mean that she's not attracted to you. A girl who is attracted to you will naturally try to come closer to you. In order to enhance her face, a girl who is attracted will often make sure to keep her hair out of it. So you shouldn't assume that every girl who touches you is attracted to you.
However, what's more, important here is to keep an eye on how engaged she actually is. Social media time is time where we can literally do whatever we like. They'll be more considered and it's an excellent sign of interest and attraction. She'll take more time with her questions, and she'll tailor them towards you. So, if you're fairly confident that she likes you, then you might want to cut to the chase and ask her out.
If you know what to look for, you will get better and better at reading body language. This is a woman's way of inviting you to make a move. If she's engaging in eye play, she's inviting you to come say hello.
A natural, genuine, carefree smile is the perfect way to let a girl know that you like being around her. When offering assistance, if she doesn't fancy you but there is somebody she likes in the room, she may pout or show other signs of disappointment if you offer to help first.

Research into the Quality of the Information Function of Assessment in Secondary School Practice
Author: KOSÍKOVÁ, V., ČERNÁ, K.
Key words: formative assessment, feedback, criteria and indicators of assessment, dialogic and directive mode of working with mistakes, self-regulating competence, metacognitive knowledge
This research report offers empirical findings on assessment, specifically about the use of formative assessment in the context of work with mistakes. The study focuses on the question of whether assessment by teachers in secondary-school practice provides pupils with feedback and in this way develops their competence in self-regulation and metacognition. The object of the research was analysis of the causes of mistakes (at the level of pupils and teachers) and reactions to mistakes: part of the research project involved establishing the semantic connotations of the term mistake in pedagogic context.
The definition of the goals and overall focus of the research project was based on the theoretical premise that assessment has an informativefunction in feedback on the activity assessed, For this reason it is pedagogically essential that the assessments should serve the pupils themselves, both to improve the quality of learning, and to achieve a better understanding and improvement of the activity carried out. The research project was conceived as a pilot study and initial probe into educational reality in the area concerned. It was intended to test the usability of the method of collection and processing of data and to produce selected concrete findings that could be discussed and further tested in practice. The aim was for the research findings to be usable as suggestions for the orientation of training of teachers for school assessment.
The results of the research probe suggest that there is a great deal of room for further exploitation of the potential of formative assessment in the sample of teachers studied. Shortcomings were found above all in the teachers' capacity to provide pupils with information on the fulfilment of teaching goals by means of clearly formulated criteria of assessment. In addition it was found that in assessments teachers are not giving pupils sufficiently precise and informative feedback on identified mistakes and ways of remedying them. Connected with this is "negligence in working with terms": insufficient attention devoted to inferences and the logical relations of terms in assessment of content. In the teaching that was studied, the so-called directive variant of work with mistakes predominated over the dialogic approach, and this was manifest in the orientation of teachers mainly to the identification and correction of mistakes: the pupils were not getting enough of the information necessary to enable them to understand their own learning activity. At the same time this means that pupils are not being consistently led by teachers to reflect on their own performance. This fact was probably reflected in the conception of the term "mistake", which was studied by the method of semantic differential. It emerged that pupils and teachers discernibly diverge in their concept of the mistake. The pupil's perception of a mistake tends to negative connotations, and the mistake is judged as a failure, a negative assessment that is the business of the teacher, not the pupil himself. Teachers by contrast see a mistake more as an opportunity for the pupil to learn.
The problems outlined above are manifest both directly in teaching and in assessment using tests. Test questions were found to have inadequate validity of content, being formulated in a way that allowed different interpretations. Poorly formulated questions then lacked the logical link between the demands on performance and the criterion for assessment of that performance. This means that the informational and so the formative function of assessment in relation to the pupil's learning and the activity carried out by the pupil gets completely lost.

'Busy, not bulging' in Aspen for holidays
ASPEN " The Aspen lodging industry has added business in the last two weeks, but not enough to produce the typical holiday crowds.
A report released Tuesday shows occupancy for Aspen's lodging industry is 63 percent this week, compared to 87 percent for the same week last year.
Next week, Aspen's occupancy will climb to 73 percent, compared to 90 percent last winter, the report shows. This year's occupancy levels were based on reservations made as of Dec. 15.
Bill Tomcich, president of Stay Aspen Snowmass, a central reservations agency, said the peak period will be Dec. 27 through New Year's Day. Current reservations would produce occupancy of 80 percent, and he believes last-minute travelers could boost that figure to as high as 85 percent. Last season's holiday occupancy peaked at about 95 percent.
"The bottom line is it's going to be busy in town. It's just not going to be bulging at the seams," Tomcich said.
Some properties in prime locations will be full or close to it during the holidays. The North of Nell Condominiums is looking at a solid holiday period, said general manager Joe Raczak.
Aspen could be busier than the occupancy reports reflect because many second-home owners will use their units since they couldn't rent them out, Tomcich said. In addition, he noted Aspen and Snowmass Village have slightly more rooms this year than last year with the opening of the Limelight Lodge and properties at Base Village. So the same occupancy levels would produce more people this year.
The travelers who do come to Aspen and Snowmass will likely feel spoiled with excellent snow conditions and lighter than usual crowds to fight at restaurants, bars and shops. The perfect scenario, Tomcich said, is that holiday travelers will experience an "epic" vacation, then go home and tell their friends and spur more travel.
While Aspen's numbers are down, Snowmass Village's prospects are dismal. Occupancy is only 48 percent this week, compared to 74 percent last year.
Current reservations indicate a 59 percent occupancy next week, compared to 84 percent last year.
The reports are based on surveys of numerous properties in Aspen and Snowmass. They are produced for the two towns' lodging industries, the Aspen Chamber Resort Association, town of Snowmass Village and Aspen Skiing Co. to help gauge business levels.
David Perry, Skico senior vice president, mountain division, said he is disappointed the occupancy levels aren't higher, but he is pleased with them "considering the circumstances." He noted that there has been "body blow after body blow" to the economy since September.
Aspen will fare better than most travel destinations " be they ski areas, cruises or whatever else " during the holidays, Perry predicted.
The biggest day on the slopes is expected to be between Saturday, Dec. 27, and Tuesday, Dec. 30, depending on the weather, Perry said.
Tomcich said travelers are still seeking bargains, so late shoppers could boost the numbers a bit. The occupancy level for this week increased from 59 percent to 63 percent in Aspen between Dec. 1 and Dec. 15.
"It's certainly not going to be dead," Tomcich said.

I am trying to control pattern changes on my EMX-1 externally through ableton and my APC40. I know that to do this i need to set the PCEN filter to OXXX on the electribe. What I don't know is how to send these messages from within Ableton. Or even what these messages must be. The EMX manual says:
"When you switch patterns, the EMX-1 will transmit a program change message [Cn, pp](and Bank Select [Bn,00, mm] (Control Change #00), [Bn, 20, bb] (control change #32) (mm: bank number upper byte, bb: bank number lower byte).If the EMX-1 receives a program change message on the appropriate MIDI channel , it will switch patterns within the same group. If the EMX-1 recieves a bank select message, it will switch groups so that patterns from another group can be selected."
I understand the second part. But don't know what i need to do and what messages to send from Ableton. My goal is to have a MIDI channel in Ableton devoted to cuing these pattern changes and controlled via the APC40. Any help anyone can offer would be appreciated.

Treating Your Skin with "Intense Pulsed Light"
What it can do for you
By Kevin C. Smith MD FACP FRCPC
Most of us know that lasers, which produce a single wavelength of light, are used in medicine to treat many conditions, in particular unwanted hair (read more on laser hair removal) , blood vessels, dark spots and tattoos on the skin. A related technology called "Intense Pulsed Light" (also known as "IPL") is also very useful for some skin conditions, and is sometimes used in combination with laser treatment.
IPL (for example the Cutera 560) produces a carefully defined spectrum of light, which is designed to reduce or eliminate the redness of the skin, which can result from sun damage and/or from rosacea. IPL treatment is often followed immediately by laser treatment to eliminate large unsightly blood vessels from the nose, chin and cheeks. Read more about rosacea on RosaceaGuide.ca.
Some patients report that after they have had several IPL treatments they blush less easily than before, and this can be wonderful bonus.
Because many people mistakenly regard a ruddy complexion or a red nose as a possible sign of alcohol abuse, correction of these cosmetic problems can affect not only a persons appearance but also their business and social prospects. Reduction in easy blushing can also improve the way the world sees and treats an individual. People who have rosacea should also take care to protect themselves from sun damage, and should apply a prescription cream like Rosasol™, which has both medication and sunscreen it.
Intense pulsed light is also used to make the skin more clear by removing the brown residue, freckles and "liver spots" which accumulate after years of sun exposure.
It is a pleasure to see the freshness and vitality of youth reappear when someone's skin has been restored to a healthy state. Often when people have been given a fresh start they begin to take better care not only of their skin, but of other aspects of their health, including diet, exercise, and avoidance of tobacco. These things, in turn, improve their overall appearance and general outlook – and can produce a very positive change in the way the world sees you!
