Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in Lethal Weapon
Ten percent of the proceeds from sales of the wines will go to the TransAfrica Forum, an advocacy group in Washington DC focused on improving African education and human rights.
The wines have been developed specifically to help raise funds for the group, with Glover, a longterm human rights activist, serving as an ambassador for the brand.
The seven-strong range of single varietal wines, including a Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Moscato, are made at the KWV cellar in Paarl from grapes grown in the Western Cape.
Launched by Glover in Washington DC last month, the African Passion range is now on sale throughout the US priced at US$10 a bottle, with each of the wines featuring an outline of the African continent on the label.
"The wines were created to appeal to US consumers who are both entering the wine category and those who are looking for a good value," said David Salmon, KWV's US regional director.
"Our goal is to try to build the brand and sell as much as possible so that we can give more back to the charity and help drive Danny's causes," Salmon added.
Salmon believes the partnership between KWN and TransAfrica is a natural fit.
"TransAfrica is one of the oldest African-American charities in the US. We tied with them because we're very active in South Africa with educational and social issues, trying to drive improvements in society and the way people are treated," he said.
Established in 1918, KWV represented South African grape growers and winemakers internationally and played a key role in organising and regulating the South African wine business until the end of apartheid in 1990.
It is now one of the largest wine and spirits companies in South Africa.
Salmon is hoping the collaboration will help educated consumers about South African wines in the US.
"Americans tend to not know a lot about South African wines, which goes back to apartheid and the embargos. US consumers have only been aware of South African wines for around 20-25 years, so the industry is at a disadvantage compared to a lot of other regions of the world," Salmon said.
"While African Passion was developed primarily as a fundraising tool for the TransAfrican Forum, the brand will also help to raise awareness about South African wine in America," he added.
A Unicef ambassador, Glover is most famous for his role as LAPD homicide sergeant Roger Murtaugh alongside Mel Gibson in the Lethal Weapon films.
In an acting career spanning 35 years, he has also starred in Predator 2, The Colour Purple, How Stella Got Her Groove Back and Dream Girls.
I currently work in Sakhalin, Russia and found the African Passion Chenin Blanc wine here. I will be retiring very soon and returning to my home in Tennessee, USA. Can you tell me where I can find this wine in the USA?

Retiring early — it's an American dream. The difficulty in finding affordable health insurance is forcing many people to delay that dream.
People may choose to retire before age 65 — the point at which they become eligible to receive Medicare — under a variety of circumstances. Some have stable finances and their employers offer retiree health benefits. Others, with or without employer-sponsored health insurance, retire when they're forced out of the labor market due to poor health, or when they lose their jobs.
Early retirees often face limited health insurance options. What if your employer doesn't extend health benefits to retirees? What if you retire and you can't afford individual health insurance coverage because the premiums are based on your age and health status? What if you have retiree health insurance but your former employer goes out of business?
These are all scenarios to contemplate before you retire. Early retirees have the following health insurance choices:
- Purchase an individual health insurance policy.
- Buy coverage under COBRA.
- Continue employer-sponsored health insurance, if offered to retirees by your employer.
- Continue on your employer's health plan under the federal Early Retiree Reinsurance Program, if your employer signs up for it.
Individual health insurance
If you don't have access to a group health plan, you can get health insurance quotes for individual coverage. The premiums for individual policies are based on your age and your medical history in many states. (Some states mandate "community ratings" where age and health aren't pricing factors.) In many states, health insurers that consider you a bad risk can decline your application or sell you coverage that excludes your pre-existing health conditions. In some states, such as New Jersey and New York, you can buy guaranteed issue policies, for which you cannot be turned away.
Don't let high premiums tempt you to go without health insurance. A catastrophic illness could devastate you both physically and financially.
If a pre-existing condition is preventing you from buying individual health insurance, investigate Pre-existing Condition Insurance Plans, which are available under health care reform.
COBRA health insurance
Another option as an early retiree is to purchase health coverage under COBRA, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. Under COBRA, if you work in a company with 20 or more employees and have group health insurance through that employer, you're eligible to continue your health benefits for 18 months after retirement. It won't be cheap: You'll likely pay 102 percent of the group rate. Even so, it might be a cheaper than buying individual health insurance. (Read Know your COBRA rights.)
Continuing employer-sponsored health insurance
Some employers offer health insurance coverage as a benefit for early retirees. Be aware that employers differ widely when it comes to eligibility requirements (age and tenure rules), benefit levels (deductibles, co-payments or services covered) and premiums (whether the employer shares in any of the costs or you bear the entire financial burden).
Even if you're eligible for early retiree health benefits, your coverage is likely to be less generous than it was when you were working. Make sure you know exactly what services your retiree health plan covers and for how long. Will it cover you up to age 65? Does it have a prescription drug benefit? How much will your premiums increase?
Alternatively, you could join your spouse's employer-sponsored health plan if your spouse will continue to work. Perhaps that plan is more cost-effective and offers better coverage.
Early Retiree Reinsurance Program
The Early Retiree Reinsurance Program (ERRP), established under health care reform, enables early retirees under age 65 -- the age at which seniors become eligible for Medicare -- to continue to take advantage of their employer-sponsored health insurance. ERRP will reimburse employers for medical claims for retirees age 55 and older who can't get Medicare, along with their spouses, surviving spouses and dependents. Employers must sign up for the program.
Employer applications are now being accepted. As of the end of August 2010, nearly 2,000 employers and unions, representing a broad range of employers from all 50 states and the District of Columbia, were accepted into ERRP. Approved applicants who started submitting claims in September can expect to receive payments on those claims in October, according to the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
HHS says that the reimbursements will be available for 80 percent of medical claim costs for benefits between $15,000 and $90,000. ERRP participants will be able to submit claims dating back to June 1, 2010. Coverage benefits that qualify for ERRP include medical, surgical, hospital services, prescription drugs and mental health services, but only for expenses incurred after June 1, 2010.
ERRP is funded with $5 billion from the Affordable Care Act and is designed to be a bridge program to the new health insurance exchanges that are scheduled to be in place in 2014. Along with private employers, the program is also open to unions, state and local governments and nonprofit groups. Employers can use the funds to reduce their health insurance costs, provide "premium relief" to employees and their dependents, or a combination of the two, according to HHS.
Employers can obtain applications for the program and additional information at HHS's Office of Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight.
Federal and state assistance programs
If you can't afford COBRA or individual health insurance premiums, you might qualify for health insurance under Medicaid. That's the joint federal and state program that pays for health care for low-income families with children, low-income seniors and disabled people.
Medicaid varies from state to state: Each state establishes its own eligibility standards and decides the type, amount, scope and duration of services. States might also require you to pay nominal deductibles, co-insurance or co-payments for certain services. Some states also have a "medically needy" program, in which Medicaid eligibility is extended to higher-income people who have high medical costs.
Examine exclusions and expenses
Whatever type of plan you consider, look carefully at the exclusions and your out-of-pockets expenses, like co-payments. Investigate the plan's prescription drug benefits and how much you'd have to pay out of pocket for medicine.
For some, the transition from work to retirement can bring unforeseen and upsetting changes. If you do your homework, your health insurance doesn't have to be one of them.

Open Source (Linux) in schools
More or less about 10 years ago, I realized that Linux ( Open Source ) will rule the Techno. World and I started to captivate bringing more Linux and open source software to high schools and higher IT vocational, private schools and institutions in the Pakistan and UAE. Here's how I did it and what you can learn from it to do the same where you belong. Trust me It is much more beneficial for you, your country and for your nation.
First, Linux and open source in education can be categorized into following topics:
- The infrastructure of schools
- The desktop students and teachers work with
- The curriculum for IT education
Infrastructure at schools consists of a bunch of different software, which is used for administration.
- Applications like student management systems.
- Document management systems
- Operating systems.
In fact this software isn't that different from what is used in other industries. This applies not only to vocational education, but to all schools at any level.
Desktops used at schools are predominantly running on Microsoft Windows, and thanks to a push to get iPads into schools, we know they can also educate with the aid of other devices. So, why not a Linux desktop?
Finally, from the list of topics, I focused most of my attention, time and energy, on the curriculum for IT education at intermediate and higher vocational education in the Pakistan.
For last 10 years, I was like a voice in the desert when I advocated for Linux and open source in curricula. My friends and colleagues make fun of my Linux advocacy. I was often laughed at when predicting Linux would be the most frequently used operating system in the World.
Today, no one denies that Linux is a serious competitor in the Technology world. Just recently, I was part of a commission to bring a new curriculum to a higher vocational school for system administrators. More than half the people present were convinced Linux and open source are indispensable for the datacenter. And, the hosting admins emphasized Linux and open source are essential for graduates to get a job at their company. For this target group it is very important that software is scale-able up and down, both technically and financially. They state that this is only flexible enough with open source software. If they are not flexible and their competitors are they can not survive.
A latest development which will take down a lot of barriers for schools who want to teach Linux, is the availability of free Linux material through the Cisco Academy. Since current school year ten million students worldwide have free access to Linux entry level teaching materials though this method. This concerns teaching material based on the worldwide set of learning goals by LPI Linux Essentials.
This is the next step in the right direction, but we are not there yet. At the moment, there are many ICT teachers, who do not have knowledge or experience with Linux and open source software.
So, providing ICT teachers proper training and accompanying certification is how we can help further.
Question: Is your school teaching Linux and open source software?
The train has left the station, and it's not going to stop. Be warned now we are in middle of decade of flip-over change in Information technology. It's up to schools and teachers to make sure they jump aboard or want to stay where they are. Will you?

Madame Isaac Pereire (top left), with Lady Emma Hamilton (top right) and Evelyn.
I've touched upon this before – the history of women who gave their name to some of the finest classic old roses – for example Madam Isaac Pereire, Madam d'Arblay, Madame Pierre Oger, Madame Alfred Carriere. There are hundreds of roses with the prefix 'Madame' but the details of many of their lives are often unknown – or if documented, their histories deserve to be better remembered.
In many cases, especially with roses bred in the 19th century, they include the wives of eminent men – statesmen, soldiers or businessmen – while some were eminent in their own right. In many cases they were members of the rose breeder's own family.
There is an article by Peter Scott in The Royal National Rose Society Historic Rose Journal No. 32 Autumn 2006 which gives a biography of some of these lost names… (I bought this journal from the Historic Roses Group stand at Hampton Court Flower Show). The remarkable lives of just a few of these women are brought quite vividly to life – this is an excerpt relating to Madame Isaac Pereire.
There is no availability problem with this rose – almost all suppliers stock it! Produced in 1880 by Armond Garçon, a Normandy rose breeder, it was originally named 'La Bien-heureux de la Salle', but having found its way to Paris in 1881 it was renamed 'Madame Isaac Pereire' in honour of Fanny Pereire, wife of a prominent banker. It would be interesting to discover the exact circumstances under which this name change took place.
Isaac Pereire (born 1806) and his brother Emile (born 1800) were successful Jewish bankers, who originally made their money financing the building of railways in north-east France. In 1852 they founded the investment bank Crédit Mobilier, which provided funds (said to be about 2,500m francs) to the Seine Prefecture for the building of the wide Parisien boulevards.
Isaac's first wife died in 1837 and in 1840, at the age of 34, Isaac became enamoured of Fanny Pereire, his brother Emile's eldest daughter, who was then just 16 years old. Isaac and Fanny wished to marry and in due course Emile reluctantly agreed. Because of the close blood relationship, the marriage also required special consent from the State. After this was obtained however, Emile had a change of heart. Once again he eventually gave in to pleas from Isaac and Fanny but their affair created a rift between Emile and Isaac that was slow to heal. This was made all the more difficult by proximity, since not only did they occupy adjoining offices at the bank but they also shared the same large residence in Paris. Nevertheless, both saw the wisdom of ensuring that the rift was not allowed to jeopardise the banking business.
Fanny's mother Rachel Rodriguez, Emile's distant cousin, was of Iberian extraction, which may account for the dark good looks possessed by Fanny. She bore Isaac three children. Evidence suggests she was a very effective manager of Isaac's social affairs especially during the ill health he suffered in the last years of his life. With Emile's death in 1875 and Isaac's in 1880 – the year before the naming of this rose – Fanny assumed with no little skill the role of dowager of the two families. She became something of a matriarch and lived on to the age of 85, dying in 1910.

A type of cell in the immune system may be helping cancer to survive and develop resistance to treatment, a new study has found.
Scientists at the University of Michigan Comprehensive Cancer Centre looked at cells from the most deadly form of ovarian cancer.
They discovered that myeloid derived suppressor cells are able to provide a niche in which cancer stem cells survive, but that they also suppress the immune system to allow the cancer to take over.
'If we can identify a therapy that targets this, we take away the immune suppression and the support for cancer stem cells. Essentially, we kill two birds with one stone,' said lead study author Dr Weiping Zou.
Killing cancer stem cells is thought to be crucial for eliminating cancer and preventing its return in the future.
Cancer Research UK recently published statistics showing that the mortality rate for all forms of the disease in Britain currently stands at 172 per 100,000 people.

North Star Games: it all started on a sinking ship in Alaska
- Dominic Crapuchettes(domcrap)United States
MDNorth Star Games designs party games that don't suck! Play them with your non-gamer friends over the holidays.First there was Hearts, then there was Spades, and now we bring you Clubs. The suit of clubs finally gets some respect!
In 2001, I went to business school to learn how to start the company of my dreams. Since that time, our company has produced 4 games, won 2 Golden Geekies, raised $700,000, placed games at Target, Barnes & Noble, and Borders, nearly gone bankrupt, released an Xbox version of Wits & Wagers, and lost money every year for 5 straight years. In 2007 we lost $106,724. Ouch.
But right now we have great cause for celebration. When we finished our 2009 taxes, we learned that we turned a small profit for the first time in our history!! North Star Games is finally "turning the corner". This is in large part due to the support that we've received here on the BGG.
Here is my story...
(Feel free to post questions. I'll be happy to answer anything of interest to you.)

(based on notes made at a meeting with MPs at Portcullis House)
The panel of MPs numbered six including Henry Belligham, Tim Loughton, Edward Timpson, Maria Millar, Eleanor Laing, and for a short time Dominic Grieve.
The meeting was addressed by several speakers including Derek Munn (?) from Stonewall, James Sandbach from Citizens Advice Bureau, Elisabeth Cooke from Reading Uni. who is also a Law Commissioner (together with 2 male colleagues), a Karen Mackay from Resolution (a family law solicitor grouping) and an Edwards Hess, a lawyer.
Discussion revolved around two main areas, 1/. pre and post nuptial contracts/agreements and 2/. giving female cohabitees more property rights as per a divorced spouse.
I missed most of what the representative (Derek Munn) from Stonewall had to say but in the short question time afterwards he replied to MPs that he saw nothing to object to in the Lord Lester proposals and didn't see the Law Com proposals as compromising the position of gays.
See also Mary Creagh MP (Wakefield, Lab) proposals on cohabitation reform in a private members Bill (March 25th).
I therefore asked him if he had considered the situation where homosexuals had a free choice of 3 marital conditions, namely, 1. a civil union, 2, cohabiting with restrictions/liabilities and 3, cohabiting without restrictions, when what was planned by the Law Comm. for heterosexuals was the abolition of option 3 leaving them with only option 1 or option 2, i.e. both with potentially punitive property confiscation implications.
In reply he reiterated that Stonewall saw nothing in the Lord Lester proposals that were objectionable and didn't read into the Law Com proposals any such restrictions.
Elizabeth Cooke from Reading Uni. and a Law Commissioner was the next speaker. She began with a long introduction about how the Law Commission was set up with a remit to have no political view or opinion (all very well but its Commissioners, oddly enough, all had very strong ideologies). The Law Commission, she said was assigned to look into, among other things, 'pressing issues' (which cannot be interpreted as including much of their work and certainly not reforming cohabitation).
She was very 'wordy' and seemed to take forever to say very little and even less of that was 'concrete'. It was all very esoteric and hypothetical. What she did manage to be concrete about were rates and facts that she had obviously not checked – or thought her audience would not know.
For instance, she maintained that the number of women loosing out by not having rights after cohabiting for 20 years and having raised children was alarming high.
When asked to quantify this she could not. She could not even respond to whether such women, in terms of percentage of households, represented single of double digit figures. However, she was sure it was high and the trend was that it would become bigger.
In actual fact, around 11% of households are of a cohabiting nature and one has to estimate from other data that cohabiting relationship of 20 or more years duration must be in the order of 1%. [1]
Figure 1, below, is taken from ONS statistics. Cohabiting mothers are easily outnumbered by SLM, i.e. single lone mothers, (1,412k v 2,829k) and while many of the SLM may be cohabiting, arranging legislation to suit the 'musical chairs' transience of their partners promises to be an administrative nightmare.
Given that most things for cohabitees can be attained or resolved within the existing law, i.e. FLA 1996 (e.g. non-molestation and occupancy orders), the need for radical reform would seem to shrivel. The ability to enact such orders has been extended to not only cohabiting couples but to non-cohabiting couples too (Section 4, 'associated person', section 33, quote, "have never cohabited or have never been married"). An applicant, i.e. a female, in a cohabiting or non-cohabiting female relationship can apply for an occupation order not only where she has lived with the respondent but where they had intended to live !
Many of those cohabiting relationship will evolve over time into marriage with other younger people cohabiting to take their place and so the ratio will remain fairly constant.
This leads onto another technicality; what is not realised by almost everyone is that cohabiting relationships are not a 'stock item' implying permanence and measurability but a 'flow variable'. To compare them with marriage is to compare coal to diamonds – similar in their carbon parts only.
Elisabeth Cooke made the point that a recent case had revived the argument about whether pre-nuptial agreements were valid. She referred to a Privy Council case in vague terms and I have since found out it is MacLeod v MacLeod decided by the Privy Council involving a North American couple who had not a pre nuptial but a post nuptial agreement ('Family Lore', Dec 18th 2008 http://www.familylore.co.uk/2008/12/macleod-v-macleod-post-nups-valid.html
Both MacLeods were American, were married in1994. The husband was considerably wealthier than the wife. They had entered into a pre-nuptial agreement on their wedding day (valid in the US but not in Britain). It provided for each spouse to retain their separate properties brought into the marriage and property acquired post marriage to depend on legal title. If they divorce each party waived their right to claim any sort of maintenance. Properties owned jointly were to be divided equally between them.
The husband agreed to pay the wife a lump sum calculated as $25,000 for each full year that the couple had been married and regardless of time or location the agreement should be construed in accordance with the laws of Florida. The family moved to the Isle of Man; the marriage broke down, and the husband began divorce proceedings in 2003.
During the marriage, two further agreements were assigned that included a provision that, in the event of divorce or the husband's death, the wife should receive £1,000,000 sterling, adjusted for inflation since February 2002.
The wife claimed full financial provision, asserting that the agreements should be disregarded, as "unfair pressure" had been put on her. The husband claimed that the third agreement should be upheld, which would have meant giving the wife £1.89m.
The Isle of Man court rejected the wife's claim but agreed she should be given an additional £1.25m for accommodation, and said it should be paid directly to her rather than held in trust. The husband eventually appealed to the Privy Council ("the Board"), on the issue of whether the housing needs of the wife and children should be catered for by the lump sum, as ordered by the judge, or by a trust fund, as proposed by him, and the argument turned on the validity and effect of the 2002 agreement.
What this case highlights is the totally unrealistic demands of the family courts to hold a husband responsible for his ex-partners housing needs (costs) when she already has the ability to acquire it from the financial provisions he has already made – a demand insisted upon by family courts, day in day out, of men of far lesser financial means
Cooke also made the point that Scotland had already enacted cohabiting rights law and though it had run into a little difficulty – as was predicted by RW – it was a separate and distinct regime to that proposed for England and Wales (so it will be untried !).
To legitimise the concept of legalising cohabitation the Australian experience was cited more than once by speakers. They were of a view that it was working well.
(I do not understand why they emphasised the Australian experience when New Zealand has had such a law for much longer).
She was asked by one of the MPs (HB) if she thought the 1996 Act could be resurrected and made useful in this regard. Her reply was that she was unsure. (I then interrupted and asked for clarification that it was the Family Law Act 1996 and they confirmed it was. I then said that this particular Act carried within it a poison pill and HB thanked me for the warning).
I can see now – but I couldn't then – why the FLA would be useful to pro-cohabitee activists. Although it is about marriage and how to dissolve it, it carries within it the creation of a new legal entirety known as an "Associated Person."
Part 4 of the Family Law Act 1996 which is enacted and in operation (though Parts 1 and 2 are abandoned and inactive) empowers a court to intervene between not only married and formerly married couples but also cohabitees and former cohabitees.
It goes further and embraces those "living together" or having lived together in the same household (other than as employees, tenants, lodgers or boarders), or by simply being related, i.e. mother-in-law, uncles and aunts etc, having parental responsibility for a child, or 'an agreement to marry', which takes us back to the 1960s and the ludicrous situation of 'breach of promise' suits which the Law Comm. described at the time as a charter for "gold diggers".
There are likely to be moves therefore to resurrect the concept of 'associated person' (see FLA 1996) in order to access and then confiscate property for the 'vulnerable' partner, i.e. the woman.
The same Act but in Schedule 10 places a duty on the court to consider making a non-molestation order. In order to make these effective Occupation Orders will be needed. Occupation orders regulate the occupation, so the owner of the house, invariably a man, will be legally excluded and the occupation rights of his own property might well be terminated or restricted (see also Ouster orders and 2004 amendments).
The question of why it was seen as perfectly reasonable for fathers and men to always fund such reforms was met with a chorus from her colleagues, who rejoined that "we" and the court must always put children first (the paramountcy mantra).
But must we put children's alleged rights ahead of fathers ? Are those fatherly rights to be legitimately sacrificed on the CBI Altar (Child's Best Interests) ?
Do millions of children want to know they are the cause for their father's poverty? That his homelessness was the result of self-righteous solicitors carping on about female and children's rights ?
How will they feel about that when they grow up ? Most of the nation's homeless are men – and most of them are ex-servicemen. Is this the way a nation rewards its defenders ?
Several questions were then posed re: 1/. How could family courts cope when they were already creaking under the load of divorce cases and 2/. How could it be afforded given that 50% of cohabiting couples separate every 2 years on average and the great majority within 5 years the reply was that it would not affect courts and 3/. How could justice be assured when family court proceedings are held in secret ?
The benefits, in Cooke's mind, were that arbitration would be transparent because if would be outside the court. It would be a cheap and quick option with no burden on court time – she envisaged a "do it outside the system" approach. How, and who would undertake this role was not outlined.
She then moved on to how the reforms would be enacted, the formulaic approach to male and female wealth and power versus vulnerability mantra, and the question of whether couples should be allowed to 'Opt Out' or 'Opt In'. She, and the legal minds present, were at one in believing that all cohabiting couples should have to 'Opt Out' as this would protect the vulnerable cohabitee, i.e. the female, and should be the default position unless it could be shown otherwise.
To the objection to this last point and the proposal of adopting a purely 'Opt In' option came the reply that many women were put off marriage by its attendant costs (said to average £10,000 per wedding) and of genuinely not knowing they had no legal rights when their long term relationship ended.
To the proposition that perhaps money ought to be better spent on an education programme for women came the reply that this might be an adjunct but would not erase the problem.
IMO, having to 'opt out' would mean there was to be no vestige of property entitlement for the purchaser and no benefits accruing therefrom. This is a moot point with collateral implications that can only be speculated upon at this point in time.
Is there a conflict of human rights at stake here ?
Should the inalienable right to purchase, own and 'enjoy' property be comprised by an alleged 'human right' of another person to profit by controlling and enjoying that property upon separation ?
The Romans made the sharp distinction between formal marriage versus 'free marriage', cohabitation and concubinage. That distinction was in the acceptance into the family of the spouse (i.e. the wife) upon formal marriage only and no compensation was ever paid upon separation in the other forms of relationship which, from one epoch to another, were briefly fashionable and occasionally recognised by the state.
This brings us, if not to the crux, then certainly a significant branch in the road. If the Civil Partnership Act 2004 which will probably be used in conjunction with FLA 1996 as template, is examined the working in other jurisdictions implies a statutory nature of it being 'registered' and for 'life'.

What is being proposed for England & Wales is a non-registration system for heterosexuals (as I interpret the Law Comm.'s paper) but not for homosexuals.
Cohabitating heterosexuals will be treated as if they have registered but cohabitating homosexuals will not be so considered unless they utilise the Civil Partnership Act 2004. The above table shows how same-sex unions are legalised by registration. Why cannot the same be done for cohabitation ?
There will, in many practical circumstances, be no option for heterosexual men to opt in or out; it will simply be 'deemed', i.e. presumed, that the male cohabitees has opted in by the fact that he has not actually opted out. This default position will be an abuse of governmental power far in excess of the alleged abuse (of women) it intends to rectify.
If the argument is that marriage and all its ceremonial and catering costs are too great for most couples then there already exists the less expensive vehicle of marriage at a Registry Office. The logical extension would be to extend the use of the Registrar's Office to encompass cohabiting agreements for heterosexual couples who want to opt in.
A vigorous exchange then took place regarding 'welfare dependency'. The point was made that many SLM (single lone mothers) were in fact cohabiting and that the benefits regime encouraged cohabiting women to declare themselves to be SLM; this would not reduce if reforms were introduced and the drain on the Treasury or tax payer would not relent. In fact, it could be predicted that the burden on the tax payer would increase as low income SLMs would be entitled to Legal Aid upon separation whereas their male partners would not.
In addition, the state would have to allocate extra resources, i.e. buildings, staff, training, to deal with the number of cohabiting cases it presently did not have to consider. No reform comes free of 'collateral damage' which is what is being promised now. Previous experience shows us that the Law Comm. reforms have always had both expected and unexpected costs. And beyond that we only have to look at the changes of Morris Finer in the Finer Report intended, in order to realise the opposite is often triggered. (The Finer Report of the 1970s has brought us only more illegitimacy, not less, and more single mothers, not less, and more SLM and children living in poverty, not less. In fact it was the starting point for what is popularly called today the dependency culture).
Far from moving us away from a dependency culture the speaker was challenged to explain how legalising cohabitation would avoid creating yet another layer of the dependency culture and or of reinforcing the present one.
The reply was that no figures were available as to the cost of dependency, or of the number of families' dependant on benefits, or the true extent and cost of divorce.
It was then pointed out that at least one parliamentary report had quantified the cost of divorce and that the ONS regularly quantified the impact of fatherless children and husbandless mothers (see Social Trends and Population Trends).
Her reply was that the Law Comm. was not aware of this, which earned her the immediate retort to the effect that surely the Law Comm. was obliged to examine and source this data before presenting its proposals ?
There was then an interruption from one of the MPs and the exchange was cut short.
What is clear from ONS produced statistics is that the increases in re-marriages promised by the Law Comm. plans in its build up to the reforms of 1969 just haven't happened ('Table 2.1 Marriages and divorces, 1996-2006′). In 1996 the number of re-marriages was 53,642 and in 2006 it had fallen to only 43,398. This is also true where it was a 2nd marriage for one of the parties; the numbers having fallen from 64,653 to 50,061 in 1996 and 2006 respectively. (ONS: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_population/FM2no34/FM2_No34.pdf)
Is this telling us that the penalties of re-marriage are too great and that the knowledge of those penalties are seeping down to the divorce and to the never-married – where first-time marriage, at 145,995, is at a century low point ?
Is the emotional investment in marriage no longer worth the candle ? Are the population, birth and marriage rates falling because there is no incentive for men ?
In academic circles it seems the agreed currency is to assert that:
" … The increase in cohabitation has occurred alongside other, related, major demographic shifts, including: rising levels of divorce; delay in entry into marriage and childbearing; and, a rise in the proportion of births taking place outside marriage. These are all characteristic of the second demographic transition (Van de Kaa, 1987; Lesthaeghe & Surkyn 2004), although rising levels of cohabitation in the UK have only partially offset declining marriage rates (Berrington & Diamond, 2000)." – By Ernestina Coast (Lecturer in Population Studies, London School of Economics), 'Currently cohabiting: relationship expectations and outcomes in the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS).'
But isn't this missing the point about cohabiting ?
She links both 'major demographic shifts' (but these are not explained) and divorce to cohabitation. But is the increase in cohabitation merely due to random and naturally occurring 'major demographic shifts' or a realisation by the population of the cost and pain of divorce as presently constructed ?Money, like pain, alters choice and therefore human behaviour.
What explains the slump in Roman Catholic marriage, an otherwise bastion of tradition and influence with a stronger adherence among its flock than other churches who have seen a less steep decline ? Fig 3 below show the decline from 1981 to 2001.
Fig 3. Summary of marriages, http://www.statistics.gov.uk/STATBASE/Expodata/Spreadsheets/D7951.xls
[As an aside, it has to be said that not only did the content of the Family Law Act 1996 arouse deep controversy at the time but the very procedural devise employed angered many. The abuse of the Jellicoe Rules to get it through parliament was interpreted as an attempt to avoid Parliamentary scrutiny and suppress public debate. If passed (and it was for a short time only) it would have recognised and legitimised for the first time in English Matrimonial Law so-called common-law-wives. Spousal rights, once the preserve of bona fide married women, were to be extended to women cohabitees (men would not gain only suffer). As a consequentially, the potential scope for litigation was substantially enlarged (see Trust law actions, below)].
Throughout the delivery Elisabeth Cooke seemed to be addressing the two men directly in front of her who seemed to nod and titter at the appropriate places.
The next speaker James Sandbach, was from the Citizen's Advice Bureau (CAB). He was not a legal expect but brought everyday experiences of women left with nothing to the seminar. Even he had to admit it was not a huge problem numerically and that most of the cases involved impoverished couples anyway – a point conceded by Elisabeth Cooke when she earlier described the near impossible for the courts of spreading meagre household incomes across two households.
Asked about the implications to Land Law and the philosophy of property that stood behind it, he made no reply possibly because he had no technical experience.
There was not the opportunity to acquaint any of the speakers with the facts in the pubic domain and the implications their proposals would have on ordinary peoples lives, that is to say:-
- The 'engine' of wealth creation is the married man – not the cohabiting man (from US Pres'l advisor George Gilder, 1973. to Patricia Hewitt MP 1996 IPPR).
- Cohabiting men and single men are lower income earners and are more likely to be unemployed, work part time and/or to live on benefits.
- As far back as 1993 the divide between married and non-married men was noted by the ONS – an earnings divide replicated between married and non married mothers, i.e. SLMs.
- Single mothers pose the greatest avoidable burden to the Treasury. They require more subsidies, yet never provide commensurate/off-setting tax revenue.
- The escalating financial burden on the Exchequer, of these 'alternative lifestyles' i.e. SLMs, has seen Gov't forced to create the £2 billion bureaucratic CSA, which collects a mere £15 million (Children First, Green paper).
- Lord Irvine, when Lord Chancellor, complained about the cost of divorce, put at £5 Bn pa.
- More recently the cost of divorce to the nation has been calculated to be in the realms of £30 billion (The Cost of Family Breakdown, Sept 2000, David Lindsay [assisted by R Whiston]).
- Additionally, the cost of subsidies to single lone mothers (SLM) in Social Security terms was put (at 1994-95 prices) at £31 billion pa (R Whiston, ManKind paper).
These calculations share some overlapping aspects and while it would be wrong to simply add them together (to give £61b), a figure greater than £30b is a more realistically true cost.
The last of the speakers was a young lawyer called Edward Hess, who was introduced as being well practiced in cases involving cohabiting women. He spoke of the large numbers and wide scope of cases he had handled. They were all forced to be settled in Trust Law cases and involved 'proprietary estoppel' or "resulting trusts" or "constructive trusts" etc.
Edward Hess saw this as entirely unsatisfactory, "Large numbers of cases ended up in Trust Law … and absorb a lot of legal time" because they could not be properly dealt with in matrimonial law or in the family courts.
However, for the estate of a dead man to end up in a legal trust battle indicates that the estate was worth fighting over. It cannot be credibly envisaged that the estate of a cohabiting man of average income, or living on benefits, or living in a council flat would have an estate worthy of dispute by his cohabitee against his relatives each of them hiring their own set of solicitor and lawyers ?
One is reminded of Dickens' great fictional (but based in fact) court case Jarndyce v Jarndyce:
The Jarndyce case concerned the fate of a large inheritance. It had dragged on for many generations prior to the action of the novel, so that, by the time it is resolved late in the narrative, legal costs have devoured nearly the entire estate. The case is thus a by-word for an interminable legal proceeding. Dickens used it to attack the Chancery Court system as being near totally worthless, as any "honourable man among its [Chancery's] practitioners" says, "Suffer any wrong that can be done you rather than come – 'Bleak House' by Charles Dickens.
Hess prefixed is comments by seemingly to disparage the genuinely held views of Melanie Phillips and Simon Heffer (?), "We don't want any of that sort of thinking here today was the gist and acknowledged that the room contained one traditionalist voice that had opposed everything that had so far been proposed.
In common with Cooke, Hess made mention of the recent Scottish development (presumably the legalising of cohabitation) and of the MacLeod decision. However, it must be remembered that the Macleod's had enough money to take it through all the Isle of Mann courts and then on to the Privy Council.
It is all very well and laudable for lawyers to reform the law but should it bring unpleasant or dire consequences it is the voter that has to live with the consequences. He is not I suspect from a political science background and this is pivotal aspect that is constantly overlooked when social reforms are afoot.
There was no time to pose questions and after the meeting broke up in conversation with the last speaker, Hess, he made light of Baroness Deech's opposition to Lords Lester's Bill. He didn't see the validity of her points and so did not agree with them (though she made precisely the ones we made to the Law Commission in 1995 !).
The meeting broke up soon after 1 pm.
End Piece.
'Common Law Marriage', By Goran Lind (2008).
Few areas of Roman law have evinced as wide a range of opinions as classical matrimonial law. On the one end, it is considered "perhaps the most imposing Achievement on the Roman genius". On the other, classical marriage has been thought to provide "the true explanation of how the formerly so powerful Roman Empire could easily overthrown once the foundation of society – the family – had been broken. Regardless of the accuracy of these views, it may be confidently said that Roman Matrimonial law was fundamentally different from it modern European equivalents, which in recent times have been subjected to alien influences, primarily canon law. [p 31]
…. Formless relationships [free marriages and cohabitation] were recognised as marriages and cohabitation was recognised.
Roman marriage..…. [was] seen as a total community of life … a life long companionship for the whole of life ….. not simply a liaison for the purpose of meeting a limited need, such as sexual urges or procreation of legitimate children. [pp 31 – 33]
It would appear that the concept of maintenance and post separation payments or property adjustments had completely by-passed Roman legal mind.

After the procedure, you may experience temporary numbness, redness, swelling, bruising, firmness, tingling, stinging and pain. Rare side effects may also occur. Keep in mind that this procedure is not for everyone, and if you suffer from cryoglobulinemia or paroxysmal cold hemoglobinuria, you should not have this procedure. CoolSculpting is also not a treatment for obesity. This is a medical procedure, and you should schedule a consultation to determine if it is right for you.
Can I return to normal activities after my treatment?Yes! This is a non-surgical treatment, so most patients can return to their normal activities or to work immediately after.
When will I see results?Some patients see results as soon as three weeks after treatment. Best results will occur after two months. But your body will still be eliminating fat cells for up to four to six months after treatment.
Do I need to take special supplements or follow a strict diet and exercise program?You are not required to take supplements or pills or to adopt a new diet or exercise routine. However, after CoolSculpting, many patients feel more motivated to take care of their bodies and maintain a healthier lifestyle.
What happens if I gain weight in the future?Many people are encouraged maintain healthier lifestyles after CoolSculpting. However, if you do experience weight gain, you may experience it evenly across your body, not just in the areas treated with CoolSculpting.

I love the colors on this palette. All shimmer no matte, but yet can still make a great neutral smokey lid. Also the color payoff is amazing. I barely put my brush in and got a ton of color on my lids. It's a velvety feeling shadow group as well. Pure greatness & a great price!

The following is a sponsored partnership with Skillshare. All opinions are 100% my own.
It's funny, when you're younger, I feel like you'll do anything to rush through school and not be learning all the time. I still vividly remember being in college and there being an older person in one of my classes. Everyone asked him "why are you taking this class if you're not trying to get a degree?"
No one could understand and we all thought he was crazy. He then replied that when you get older, that you will enjoy learning new things. I still remember that like it was yesterday, and now I completely understand it now. I am always wanting to learn new things now, and it's always a joy to do.
Recently, I learned about Skillshare and I am so excited to share it with you all. Skillshare is an online learning community for designers, photographers, marketers, entrepreneurs, really anyone! They have more than 18,000 classes in the broad categories of creative, business, technology, and lifestyle.

It was just about a year ago when I had the butterscotch budino (an Italian baked custard) at Delancey. Sitting on top of its perfectly smooth camel colored cap was a pile of billowy cream with streaks of roasted banana throughout. I've always been a fan of pudding and its not-so distant cousins; panna cotta,… Read more »

They have Ms. Pac Man here! If Pac Man influenced us all as children, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, eating magic pills and listening to electronic music. Oonsa, Oonsa!
I'm definitely going to visit them this summer.
Michelle wants to go outside and play badminton, and we're in here drinking and spraying cologne.
Off to stir up trouble, and to treasure the last night under stars who aren't spoiled by the light pollution of the city.
Ciao, babies.

What can you do to get your fans more involved on your Facebook fan page? Plenty, to begin with you can ask a simple question along the lines of the subject matter on the page. If you have a band, you can ask what their favorite song is. Another approach is to inquire about what one of you fans is going to do for the weekend. When it comes to conversation starters, there is a plethora of thing to discuss.
Get them Talking
One great way to begin a conversation is to praise your fan base for all of the comments and commitment to the page. This is sure to get some love thrown at your direction. You can even point out one person with your praise as this is a sure fire way to get others to react. Let us face facts everybody likes special treatment. Especially when getting kudos from their favorite musician. In this same manner by targeting a comment on a specific fan, it puts them in the limelight in front of the others. Not only will you draw fire from other fans so will the individual you singled out.
Join in a Conversation
This one is a great technique to engage the fan base. Start by finding a post with a lot of traffic and add to it. Make a point with an insightful dissertation on the subject. By joining an ongoing conversation with your fans, you show them that you are the same as they are and therefore build a stronger bond with that particular group of fans. If your goal is to increase your fan base, there are a few different way you can go about it.
Locate Similar Pages to Your Own
That's right search out other pages similar to your own, become a fan, and make comments there. You can even post a link or two pointing back to your page. What this accomplishes is it lets other know you exist and therefore builds and awareness that there are other artist of the same genre. For instance if your band play punk rock find another punk band and start trading posts with them. Understanding that there really is no secret on how to either gain fans or create more interest to you page is an important factor.
Nevertheless, all it takes is to keep updating and posting intriguing comments on your pages. This includes the pages where you are a fan. You can try to buy Facebook fans cheap or even to buy Twitter followers for that account. The main thing to remember is to have fun with it never act as if you are working when you begin a conversation ask simple question like if they had a choice between a or b which would be their choice? Always show the love to those who comment back or answer your silly questions. If you are having a bad day, let them know you may have someone try to cheer you up. It pays to be attentive to you fan base.

First, I want to thank Maria at BOREDMommy for leading this group of women reading Elizabeth Gilbert's Eat, Pray, Love. I had read the book previously but jumped on the band wagon – although I fell off along the ride – to re-read the book before I head to the theatre to see the movie.
Second, I had not re-read the Indonesia part before reading several people saying they thought it was boring or that they did not like the book at all. Because of this, I think I re-read with a different outlook. I wanted to see if I could figure out what would turn people off about this section of the book. I have my theory but first my thoughts on Indonesia.
I think the whole section circles around some words on happiness that are on page 260 of the book. If this theme is not in the movie while Gilbert, played by Julia Roberts in case you live under a rock as I can't imagine that no one knows this, is in Indonesia, I will be sorely disappointed.
Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it. You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings. And once you have achieved a state of happiness, you must never become lax about maintaining it, you must make a mighty effort to keep swimming upward into that happiness forever, to stay afloat on top of it. If you don't you will leak away your innate contentment. It's easy enough to pray when you're in distress but continuing to pray even when your crisis has passed is like a sealing process, helping your soul hold tight to its good attainments.
Not only does this discussion of happiness explain why Gilbert was in Indonesia, it ties in the time spent in India when it discusses praying. I could have put the book down at this point and been thoroughly thrilled with it. I didn't but I could have.
Now, on to why I think this part of the book is hard to take. I do not think it is boring. I think it hits to close to home. The section on Indonesia talks about balance, about how the Balinese people have it, about how they keep it. Balance should be a four letter word, a dirty one at that, in other societies. Women, in particular, are always striving for balance and we never seem to achieve it. I think we are looking for something that does not truly exist. How the Balinese find it and keep will not work in the US or other industrialized societies as we live differently. We can adjust how we view life but that will not adjust where we live.
To close, I will say that I loved this book. I could relate to so many portions of it. I am now ready to see the movie…soon!

| 9.1°C Belfast
Shapiro's irresistible proof that – shock! – Shakespeare wrote his own works hums with learning and panache.
No scholar has ever given such polite yet ruthless scrutiny to the mind-boggling 150-year record of snobbery and delusion behind the claims that either Francis Bacon or the Earl of Oxford pulled off the scam of the ages while having plays "delivered surreptitiously to the stage door of the Globe".
Shakespeare was never an alias, but often a collaborator: this vivid account of collective play-making renders the conspiracy theories even more laughable.
No one has better accounted for the big fat lie of the "authorship controversy". Shapiro cogently shows that both sceptics and old-style Bardolaters share similar fantasies about solitary and secret genius.

This super slow Rube Goldberg machine takes 6 weeks to complete
By Laura Vitto
Inventor and TV personality Bob Partington set out to design the slowest moving Rube Goldberg machine ever built. In collaboration with YouTube channel Field Day, Partington created a machine that relies on melting popsicles and growing grass to propel a golf ball through his elaborate machine.
According to the accompanying video, the whole machine took a whopping six weeks to complete. That's six weeks, three days, seven hours and two minutes to be exact. See how he did it here.
