Subscriptions to DOCOMO's credit payment service top 10 million
25 August, 2009
category: Contactless, Financial
NTT DOCOMO says the number of subscribers to DCMX, its credit payment service launched just three years ago, has topped 10 million in Japan.
DCMX is a service brand for DOCOMO-issued credit cards, which enables subscribers to make purchases using their mobile phones as credit cards via iD, DOCOMO's branded mobile payment platform for handsets equipped with contactless IC cards. For security, DOCOMO's Osaifu-Keitai phones can be locked remotely over the wireless network if misplaced or stolen.
The rapid growth of DCMX, the company says, was helped by the popularization of Osaifu-Keitai and iD reader/writer terminals as well as its customer loyalty program. Currently, more than 30 million DOCOMO customers use Osaifu-Keitai-compatible handsets and about 60% of all DOCOMO customers are using Osaifu-Keitai services. As of July 31 there were approximately 420,000 iD readers/writers nationwide.

How You Can Do Good with Small Actions: Try Bolder
This post is part of Mashable's Spark of Genius series, which highlights a unique feature of startups. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here. The series is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark.
Name: Bolder
Quick Pitch: Bolder makes social responsibility tangible and fun for both businesses and people. Genius Idea: At Mashable, we're always excited about web products that affect social change and social good. A new site we've found that attempts to do this is Bolder.
Bolder works with business and brands to inspire actions that benefit society. The business creates a challenge for people to do something good. For example, the challenge could be to go shopping with a reusable bag or buy something from a local business rather than a national chain retailer.
Individuals then login to the site — Facebook Connect is the simplest way to do so — and record their actions to complete the challenge. The business that created the challenge gives a reward to the users who complete it, which can help create additional sales for that business. Users can also vote for one another's actions to decide who made the boldest statement.
If everything goes as planned, everybody wins: The brand, the user, and hopefully, society as a whole.
Microactions for the greater good are a concept that we've explored before in some detail. Companies like SocialVibe, for example, specialize in helping citizens and brands collaborate to achieve social good while stimulating the brand's PR and marketing goals at the same time.
Bolder posts one challenge each week. Past challenges include Whole Foods of Palo Alto asking users to eat a piece of fruit for a reward of Fuji apples, or a San Francisco yogurt shop challenging users to get a friend to join in on a workout session in exchange for a buy-one-get-one-free yogurt special.
Because the site doesn't have concurrent challenges or challenges sorted by interest or location, it doesn't seem suited to a mass market just yet. However, we're sure Bolder's founders are working on something, well, bolder as they grow to scale.
Does this site seem like a fun way to help the community around you or contribute to the causes you care about? What kinds of challenges would you want to see on Bolder?
Sponsored by Microsoft BizSpark
BizSpark is a startup program that gives you three-year access to the latest Microsoft development tools, as well as connecting you to a nationwide network of investors and incubators. There are no upfront costs, so if your business is privately owned, less than three years old, and generates less than U.S.$1 million in annual revenue, you can sign up today.
Entrepreneurs can take advantage of the Azure Services platform for their website hosting and storage needs. Microsoft recently announced the "new CloudApp()" contest - use the Azure Services Platform for hosting your .NET or PHP app, and you could be the lucky winner of a USD 5000* (please see website for official rules and guidelines)."

Won't It Be Too Hard To Organize Enough People To Do It?
The short answer is no, it won't be too hard.
This is an amazingly simple task. It doesn't require a massive organization to implement it. It's not a complex task like forming a new political party. All we need to do is convince all our friends and family to give this a try, just this once. There is more than enough information on this site you can pass onto your friends, to inform them sufficiently about why this action is necessary and the best option for us to effect the kind of sweeping change we all know we need.
When you feel a task like this is just too huge, it highlights the way in which we've been socially conditioned to think about what's possible and what isn't possible. Many of us can't imagine doing anything on a large scale without some kind of massive bureaucratic structure and organization to facilitate it. In order to embrace how powerful and simple this plan is to organize and implement requires you to step outside the box. Once you do that, you will see that none of this is rocket science, that it simply requires us all to agree this is what we are going to do at the polls in the upcoming election. The best and fastest way to form a meaningful consensus on this action is for us all to simply talk to each other about it.
The task itself couldn't be easier. This plan doesn't require you to become a full time activist. You don't have to go to marches or protests (though I encourage you to do so if you can). All it really requires from each of us is to simply take this idea seriously and talk about it with friends and family. Just make a point of discussing it. Have the courage to point out that we need to do something more than just complain. Don't worry about invading people's petty little comfort zones. Even if people don't want to talk about it, just a mention here and there will plant the seeds for later, more open conversations. We just need to make this an issue, a topic for discussion as fast as we can. Once it's out in the open, you'll be amazed at how suddenly consensus can form when the time comes for action. When the time comes, it won't be some weird radically idea because everyone will at least have heard it spoken about.
This is exactly what those in control of our government do. They simply condition us over months and months with the ideas about what they want to do. In their case they have the benefit of controlling the mainstream media and use it to great advantage to relentlessly bombard us. When the time comes to actually do what they want to do, everyone has been fully prepped and it's not big deal at that point. We can do the same thing, we just need to talk to each other and use the internet, YouTube, Myspace, all the tools we have available to us for mass communications.
The problem is simple. The people representing us are not doing the job we hire them to do. They are not protecting our best interests and they are not honoring their oath to defend and protect the Constitution. The only tool we have to change that is our election process. Through that process we can fire them and hire new people. That's all we can do; hire and fire. We all know the only thing politicians fear is not being reelected, so we need to exercise the true power of our vote by proving we are able and willing to fire every last one of them to prove we are totally fed up and we're not going to put up with being sold out anymore. Until we prove that WE control who gets those jobs, we will not have any influence over our own government.
We don't need some huge organization. We just need everyone talking to each other, one to one. This is the beauty of this plan. It's practical and doable by absolutely everyone. It just requires a little serious conversation and to go to the polls in 2008 and DON'T VOTE FOR ANY INCUMBENTS. It even has the potential to activate all those people who've never voted before because they don't feel their vote counts. You can encourage these people to participate for the first time and guarantee them THEIR VOTE WILL COUNT this time.

How Commercial Printing Services Can Help You Rebrand
Branding can make or break any business. If a company does not adopt a consistent branding image, then whatever image they were going for will probably get lost in obscurity. When it comes to rebranding, companies should pay extra attention to the steps involved.
But when is it time to rebrand, and what is involved? Good design can help all branding and rebranding efforts. In this article, we will examine rebranding and commercial printing services.
Stability vs. Innovation
Sooner or later all companies need rebranding. Even if a brand is recognizable and stable, the market will keep shifting until it eventually becomes obsolete.
Rebranding is one of the most ambitious and technically complex branding strategies that involve so much more than just a new name. A rebranding project will aim to increase conversion, boost visibility and highlight a new positioning in the market.
For example, a company may seek rebranding after an ambitious M&A that expanded its scope and offerings. Other companies might undergo rebranding to reverse a declining trend in demand. Rebranding helps showcase existing products and services under a new light.
Commercial Printing Services and the Power of Professionalism
At the core of any rebranding effort lies a strong, consistent brand image. Corporate identity relies on a number of factors, including:
- Professional logo
- Fresh theme
- Engaging business stationary
- Attractive signage and branding collateral.
All the above are crucially important for branding purposes.
There are numerous considerations that go into professional rebranding. A marketing department or third party marketing provider will be able to deal with most of the logistics. However, for the technical aspects of rebranding, companies must partner with a trusted commercial printing services provider.
An efficient brand image will convey familiarity and innovation, boosting brand recognition. Companies eventually outgrow their brand identity, and market goals tend to shift with time.
Professional printing services can assist in every step of rebranding. This includes:
- New logo design
- Consistent new business stationery
- Updated product packaging
- New color themes
- Additional marketing segmentation to target new demographics
- Adaptive branding to a shifting market
- Updated signage (including banners, interior signage, car signage, mobile signage and more)
- Updated online assets (official website, social media, eCommerce storefront and more)
It's obvious that small- and medium-sized companies can't hope to achieve the above internally. This is where commercial printing services come in handy.
Partial Rebranding and Complete Rebranding
Rebranding can be as extensive as a company needs it to be. It can range from changing the packaging and name of a single product to a complete overhaul of a company's entire branding image.
Successful rebranding means finding and fixing underlying issues. It is important to be proactive and refresh a brand before it's too late.
Existing companies might require a complete brand makeover, which is technically ambitious. Emerging businesses will focus on rebranding specific aspects of their corporate identity.
Companies of all shapes and sizes will seek to fine-tune their performance in the market. Rebranding can be done directly on individual products and existing signage. Rebranding efforts may also include online efforts through the official website and social media.
Proactive Rebranding
The typical lifespan of a lifespan of a brand identity is between five to seven years, after which the branding image begins to lose its steam to competitors. Companies that seek to remain relevant and grow in the long term should invest in periodic rebranding.
It's true that internal marketing teams might be able to leverage an existing brand to the maximum.
However, commercial printing services providers are in touch with changing trends. They can identify issues and market shifts. This enables them to help companies rebrand before it is too late.
In addition to keeping an eye on the competition, a commercial printing services provider will identify branding weaknesses and help remedy them without losing consistency.
Rebranding does not always mean a complete reinvention of a brand. Sometimes it requires a few key changes and updates. These include replacing an aging business sign or launching a local leaflet campaign to recapture a share of the market.
Internal and External Branding
While rebranding aims to adjust the brand for maximum impact to customers, partners, and suppliers, there is also another aspect that is often overlooked.
Branding also affects a company internally. The first audience of a brand identity is the employees of a company. Rebranding offers excellent opportunities to harmonize internal performance and set clear goals.
Employees are in constant contact with the brand through interior signage, branded stationery and every other immediately recognizable branding effort. They are the first to experience any change that happens in a company's physical space.
A company offering commercial printing services will ensure that internal branding efforts are consistent and efficient.
Internal branding can generate fun and excitement internally, boosting productivity. Rebranding can also be the ideal leverage to improve corporate culture, beyond just new logos and cosmetic changes.
Rebranding Done Right
A company's brand identity is their face in the market. A proper brand can convey a powerful message about a company's offerings and why it stands out from the competition.
Internal designers and marketers often understand the steps required for a successful rebranding. But most companies lack the resources to achieve that efficiently.
A trustworthy commercial printing services provider can offer companies the know-how and technical expertise for successful rebranding. With decades of collective branding and logo design experience, a trusted printing services partner can take care of all technical aspects of rebranding.
Digital printing on a commercial scale is beyond the capabilities of most small and medium sized companies. A commercial printing services partner can empower companies for a successful rebranding.
Rebranding doesn't have to expensive or risky. Companies just need the right partner for the job.
What's more crucial is that a printing services partner will also identify market opportunities and point companies towards a leaner brand identity.
When it comes to branding, less is often more, and a clean and direct branding identity can save a company from obscurity.

Success doesn't happen overnight. YG is proof of that. While he earned early buzz for his 2010 single "Toot It and Boot It," the Compton rapper still had to corner the streets and the mixtape circuit, which took some years and a handful of releases.
He finally broke through to the next level this year with his debut album My Krazy Life. The project is a labor of love for YG, who spent time piecing together the release with longtime partner and producer DJ Mustard, and they were able to craft an unexpected gem that hip-hop fans had to respect. It was so good we named it the best album of 2014 so far. Move over Kendrick: You're not the only success story out of Compton these days.
Complex TV recently caught up with the YG, who talked about the success of My Krazy Life and what it's like to share that with his close pal DJ Mustard. "We blessed," the 24-year-old rapper says with a relatively warm tone. "We appreciate everything that's going on right now."
YG also talked about his time recording My Krazy Life in Atlanta and how that shaped his debut release. "I went to Atlanta to sit down and focus because I couldn't do it out here in Los Angeles." The Compton rapper linked up with industry vets like Don Cannon and DJ Infamous during his trip and ended up recording a handful of songs for My Krazy Life. Clearly his extended stay in ATL was more than worth it.
Watch the full interview above, where YG also talks about his favorite records to perform and what he has planned in the near future. Be sure to check out our interview with DJ Mustard below. YG's My Krazy Life is available for purchase on iTunes.

Introduction » Middle Ages » Premysl margrave of Moravia Pfennig-type Denarius Moravia 1228-1239 fine silver
fine silver | 16 mm | 0.8 g
The division of Moravia to appanage duchies ended when the Margraviate of Moravia was founded by Conrad-Otto Duke of Bohemia in 1182. The existence of the Brno mint is recorded in a document which the Moravian margrave Premysl (1228-1239) had issued in 1234 in the house of the royal mintmaster Bruno. Later documents mention Brno citizens and mintmasters Wigand (1239) and Arlan (1241). Brno mintmasters are also mentioned in the town privilege from 1243. In the 13th century the mint was situated in the Margrave House in Dominikanske Square (present-day Velky spalicek Big block house). At that time silver coins called pfennig-type denarii were minted in Moravia. In the 13th century mints were decentralised and leased to mint associations consisting usually of three mintmasters. Contracts with these associations were usually concluded for one-year periods unless they were hereditary. The exact number of mints is not known and individual types of coins cannot be attributed to particular mints. Among the most important mints was that in Jihlava thanks to the discovery of rich silver deposits in the 1230s in that area. Subsequently Jihlava municipal and mining law was established in 1249 as one of the earliest of its kind in Europe and significantly affected the development of mining laws in the Central-European region. After Ottokar II Premysl acceded to the Bohemian throne in 1253 single-sided silver coins called bracteates started to be minted in Moravia. In 1300 these were replaced by the most renowned Czech coins Prague groschen. As a unit of weight and counting so-called Moravian mark was used weighing 280 g and being converted to 480 denarii.

Here's the latest article from the Romance Movies site at BellaOnline.com.
Nina's Heavenly Delights
"Nina´s Heavenly Delights" is a sweet little dish of a romance set in Glasgow´s Indian community amidst a cooking competition. Think curry, not "Chocolat" -- and eat before you see it. You´ve been warned.
Look below for a great recipe from the movie!
Nina's Baby Lamb Chop Curry
6 baby lamb chops
2 cups yoghurt
3 tomatoes chopped fine
2 tsp garam masala
A generous thumb-sized piece of minced ginger
6 garlic cloves minced
2-3 green chillies
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1 tsp Kashmiri red chili powder
1 pinch of nutmeg
1 onion finely chopped
2 tsp coriander powder
3 sprigs curry leaves
2 tbsp oil
1 tbsp lemon juice
salt as needed
Combine the yoghurt with nutmeg, coriander, red chilli, garam masala, ginger, garlic and salt. Mix gently into a paste. Marinate the baby lamb chops with this yummy paste and put into a bowl. Refrigerate overnight.
Heat oil in a casserole dish. Brown the meat quickly. Once browned, add the marinade juices plus the chopped tomatoes and green chillis. Stir for five minutes. Cover with lid or foil. Bake* in the oven for 1.5 hours, adding water if necessary to prevent food from drying out.
Sauté the curry leaves, sliced onion and black pepper. Sprinkle the garnish over the meat. Add a dash of lemon juice and serve.
Delicious with mango and papaya chutney and freshly baked nan bread.
*The recipe sheet I was given didn't supply oven temperatures so judge for yourself the best temperature.

Recently, I have been teaching through the Acts of the Apostles, and it has been fascinating and enlightening for me. I learned years ago that "the one teaches is the one who learns."
If you want to learn, find a group or an individual with whom you can share your insight, understanding, and preparation.
Here is one of the valuable lessons I have learned by teaching through Acts.
Everyone needs a Barnabas.
Every church needs a Barnabas or as many as possible. Every denomination needs a Barnabas. By the way, "Barnabas" was a nickname. It means "Son of Encouragement." His real name was Joseph, but his desire to please God and encourage others to please God as well gave him his nickname.
What does a Barnabas do?
First, a Barnabas sees what can happen and what a person can become. I've always been amazed at the ability of some people to see the potential of others. Good coaches see what can happen and what a rough prospect can be at some point in the future.
Barnabas saw something in Paul that others couldn't see. Time and again, Barnabas introduced Paul to others. When the church grew in Antioch (Syria), Barnabas went to Tarsus to get Paul to help him lead the church. Most people think that Barnabas served as pastor of the church with Paul as his associate. What a church pastoral team!
Barnabas' leadership in Antioch helped prepare Paul for what he would do for the rest of his life. It also grew and matured the church so that it could be the leading church in the world at that time. It was at Antioch that believers were first called Christians, a word meaning "belonging to the party of Christ" (Acts 11:26).
Antioch was also the place where the Holy Spirit began the Mediterranean mission effort. The Spirit told the church to set apart Paul and Barnabas to go to the world (Acts 13:1-3).
Second, a Barnabas sees what can happen when many people work together to accomplish a greater goal. Paul eventually eclipsed Barnabas in notoriety and significance. My guess is that never bothered Barnabas. He was all about the kingdom.
People in your church need you to be a Barnabas. I can't find anywhere in the New Testament where whining, complaining, or grumpiness is exalted. Instead, it is always condemned.
Your pastor needs you to be a Barnabas as well.
Sometimes we forget how important it is to be a Barnabas for our families.
We all need encouragement. May God help you and me to be those people.

Average Police Time Taken Per Marijuana Arrest: "In those eleven years the NYPD made a total of 439,056 possession-only arrests. Multiplied by two and a half hours of police time per arrest that equals 1,097,640 hours - or approximately one million hours of police officer time to make 440,000 marijuana arrests. That is the equivalent of having 31 police officers working eight hours a day, 365 days a year, for 11 years, making only marijuana possession arrests."

How interdependent we have become! The lessons of this recession and the ongoing recovery, is that going it alone won't work—whether when drilling oil wells, or evading financial regulations. We even have to thank our dependence on foreign trade with Asia, and our government-aided auto industry, for what is leading this recovery—the manufacturing sector.
Economic interdependence is becoming the norm in this decade—private industry (via innovation) and governments (via regulation) are becoming more interdependent. One can no longer exist without the other. And what affects one sector now affects the overall economy.
The bursting housing bubble almost caused the worldwide collapse of the financial system because financial markets are now interconnected. The BP Gulf oil disaster is an example of nature's interconnectedness. A toxic spill has become toxic to all states in the Gulf region.
Overall industrial production in May surged 1.2 percent, following a 0.7 percent boost the month before. The latest number was stronger than the consensus forecast for 1.0 percent. Manufacturing has been robust over the last three months with this component gaining 0.9 percent in the two latest months and jumping 1.2 percent in March.
A jump in motor vehicle production also added significantly to May's overall production boost. Motor vehicle production jumped 5.5 percent, following a 1.4 percent dip in April. Nonetheless, gains were widespread in other industries, with business equipment up 1.3 percent, and consumer goods up 1.2 percent. Industrial production improved to 7.6 percent from 5.2 percent in April on a year-over-year basis.
The housing bubble has been a leading lesson in the recognition that housing is closely connected with other sectors; such as insurance, construction and finance.
And the construction industry is beginning to recover, a good sign for real estate. Expiring special tax credits for homebuyers and the recent surge in home sales have carried over to unexpected strength in construction activity. Apparently, this has cut into new home inventories enough to give homebuilders confidence to bump up the pace of new construction. However, gains are coming off low levels.
Construction outlays in April surged 2.7 percent, following a 0.4 percent rebound the month before, and rose to minus 10.5 percent in April from minus 12.5 percent in March, year-over-year. The April boost was led by a jump in private residential outlays which gained 4.4 percent after no change the prior month. Public outlays increased 2.4 percent in the latest month while private nonresidential construction rebounded 1.7 percent.
Lastly, and not so obvious, was the housing bubble's effect on consumer confidence. It was probably a cascade effect—housing burst, then credit, which stopped both consumers and investors from borrowing. This resulted in the greatest credit contraction since WWII and the Great Depression that has now lasted 20 months.
Consumers appear to be focusing specifically on the health of the U.S. economy—shrugging off sovereign debt worries in Europe and the recent drop in stocks. The Reuters/University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index rose to 75.5 in the mid-June reading versus 73.6 for the final reading of May. The nearly two-point gain was sizable and put the index at its best level since the January 2008 figure of 78.4.
There is a pent-up demand for housing. The Harvard Joint Housing study estimates 15 million new households will be formed in this decade 2010-2020. But there is uncertainty whether more will rent than own. Home ownership could also be a casualty of the housing bust, in other words. But that won't hurt construction, as the latest housing starts numbers showed a big jump in rental construction (33 percent) vs. a 10 percent drop in single family housing starts.

First edition, pp xviii, 377, with b&w illustrations, notes, appendices, bibliography and index.The life story of James Colquhoun Irvine, KBE, FRS, DSc (1877-1952), takes place against the backcloth of the pageantry of Scotland s most ancient university, whose servant he was for over fifty years. As the University of St Andrews celebrates its 600th year, this biography unfolds the life of a great Scotsman, who led the University at its most significant point of development.

By Abigail Warren
Reprinted from Cornell Chronicle, Feb. 12, 2015
Robert Sternberg called on American universities to re-examine their goals and apply land-grant values to their admissions and teaching in a Feb. 10 Sesquicentennial Lecture in Mann Library.
A psychologist and professor of human development at Cornell, Sternberg spoke about his 2014 book, "The Modern Land Grant University," and drew on his administrative experience at Tufts and Yale universities and the University of Wyoming to discuss problems in U.S. education.
The Morrill Land Grant Acts of 1862 and 1890 granted federal land to the states for them to sell and raise funds to establish land-grant colleges, whose missions include service and community engagement.
Despite outstanding land-grant universities like Cornell, Sternberg said, many private and public institutions fail to use admissions and teaching models that emphasize engaged, applied and creative learning.
"Many private institutions, when they admit students, focus on entry value. How high are SATs, grades, etc.," Sternberg said. "Land grants' emphasis is on value added. They ask, 'How much can we add to the student and [how much can] this student add to the university and the world?'"
Sternberg said land-grant universities adhere to values and "have a broad sense of what abilities are [in the admission process]." In contrast, many private universities focus on test scores that measure analytical skills and memory.
Competitive universities often admit students with high GPAs and SAT scores who lack creativity, Sternberg said. While analytical and memory skills are important, he said, top students and leaders need to be urged to develop other leadership skills to be "world changers."
"We want to build ethical leaders who have the creative skills and attitudes to generate new ideas; the analytical skills to ensure that the ideas are good ones; the practical skills to implement their ideas and persuade others of the value of these ideas; and the wisdom-based skills to ensure that the ideas help to achieve a common good, through the infusion of positive ethical values." Land-grant universities like Cornell, he said, are taking notable strides to do so.
An experiment Sternberg launched at Tufts called the Kaleidoscope project changed the admissions application to include optional creative, analytical, practical and wisdom-based questions to measure a wider array of abilities.
Responses to the Tufts admissions application were predictors of extracurricular and leadership success and did not show significant differences between ethnic groups as traditional test scores do. Sternberg said a wider diversity of abilities often correlates with greater ethnic diversity.
"Land-grant universities may take students with a broader range of SAT scores, because their mission is to get the students who are going to make the university and world a better place. These are the students who are not just good scholars, but the future leaders who will enrich their societies."

A Christian and a Lawyer?
There is no question mark on the publicity or program for a conference organized in Kassel (Germany) by the Association of Christian Lawyers ("Christ und Jurist") which gathers lawyers, for the most part from Germany, who are from different Christian churches.
The group embodies a common commitment that also leaves room for varying expressions: to discover how to live one's own life of faith, and to be faithful to this commitment also in professional life.
University professors, judges, lawyers, public officials and students gathered to exchange ideas and witness to a set of profound choices. To give just one example, one lawyer left a lucrative practice in order to dedicate his time to serve the legal needs of recent migrants. All participants shared the conviction that judicial chambers and legal officers are excellent places to joyfully live out their faith commitments, even when this means swimming against the tide.
Workshops and presentations during the conference also faced challenging questions such as how to maintain one's own religious identity while at the same time welcoming those who arrive from other parts of the world, perhaps with different perspectives or convictions.
Strong commitments to justice were also evidenced in descriptions of work in East Africa, where various projects help to sustain the work of young lawyers in their defense of poor prisoners who have been unjustly incarcerated.
A representative from Indonesia shared examples of those who risk their lives in the fight for justice, and felt sustained by the group's concern and shared commitment.
Lively conversations, deep relationships and fruitful exchange were the marks of an experience that will not be limited to the conference setting, but that will continue throughout the year, opening new perspectives.

Municipal Planning Commission
Municipal Planning Commission
The Municipal Planning Commission (MPC) is a committee of the whole Council. The MPC is responsible for the review of subdivision and most discretionary development permit applications. At a meeting of the MPC the Planning Department will give the background on any application to the committee and submit recommendations based on the policies approved by County Council. Then the MPC will make a decision.
All MPC decisions must conform to the Municipal Development Plan and the Land Use Bylaw within the limits of discretion provided for in the Bylaws and the Municipal Government Act. The MPC may approve a development application if the proposed development does not comply with the Land Use Bylaw provided the "use" conforms to the Land Use Bylaw and the development would not unduly interfere with the neighbourhood amenities or effect the use, enjoyment or value of neighbouring properties.
The Municipal Planning Commission meetings are open to the public and typically occur on the 3rd Wednesday of every month, If you would like to attend a meeting please contact the Planning Department at (780) 678-3070 or firstname.lastname@example.com to confirm the time since it is subject to change.
Please note that while MPC meetings are open to the public, they are not Public Hearings. The most effective way to submit feedback on a particular proposal is in writing in advance of the meeting to the Planning and Development department, who can then attach it to the public agenda package. MPC members may, at their discretion, ask questions of administration or any affected parties relating to the agenda during the meeting.
MPC agendas are typically posted on the Friday prior to the MPC Meeting. When agendas become available, please click on the date to view.

If any of you are in the Portland Oregon area, I'll be giving a workshop tomorrow night, the 30th, in the SE corner of the city. This should be fun. I've just started doing monthly adventures in nonviolence and the interest level is increasing as they continue. I don't have one for November, but on December 18th I'll be looking at Jesus as a nonviolent actor - should be fun.
Thursday October 30th we'll explore a new language, a language that takes back that power, the language of Nonviolence.
This workshop is based on the work and experience of Marshall Rosenberg and Portland's own "seriously pissed off granny" Bonnie Tinker.
This workshop is FREE - but donations are greatly appreciated
When: October 30th 7-9pm
Where: Spirit Feathers

Battery and boot-time
Battery life is good. The XO ran an average of just over three hours in three separate tests with the screen on maximum brightness and in continuous use. This is comparable to the Eee. The system gave no on-screen warning before halting, but the battery icon on the case turned red about 20 minutes before shutdown. According the OLCP Wiki, the battery should last 3-5 hours, and OLPC is= working on software updates to improve this.
The XO takes its time booting. It takes about 1 minute 42 seconds to boot the Fedora Core 7 OS and Sugar UI, compared to about 22 seconds for the Eee. It boots to the Home screen, which is used to launch and terminate applications, and is headed Activities.
Next up, let's see the radical new GUI - and find us some wireless.
The center XO represents the laptop. If the mouse is hovered over it, a menu pops up to shutdown or reboot the system. The immediate area around the XO is called the Activity Circle, which serves as a task list. A single click on the icon will switch to an activity. To shutdown an activity, mouse over the icon and it will give an option to resume or close the program. The space occupied by icons in the Activity Circle also gives a very rough idea of how much system memory is remaining. There's no way within the GUI to tell exactly how much memory is available, but the online manual warns: "Take care not to fill the circle."
The bottom icon on the task list is reserved for the Journal, which is a combined activity log and file manager. The Journal is always running. More on this later.
Below the Journal are icons showing battery life and wireless signal strength.
The black border around the screen is called the Frame. The top part represents places: left to right, the Neighborhood (all wireless access points, and other XO laptops), Group (eg. a child's classroom), Home and Activity (the last used application on the Activity Circle). There are handy shortcuts to all places, plus the Journal, along the top row of the keyboard.
The Frame is always visible on the Home screen. It can be invoked in any other screen or activity by mousing to any corner of the screen, or pressing the open rectangle key on the keyboard.
The right side of the Frame shows the XO laptop user, and any other users the child is collaborating with.
The bottom row is used to launch activities. Invitations from other users to join shared activities will show up here too.
The left side of the Frame shows items copied to the clipboard. Hovering the mouse over a clipboard icon shows the options to Remove, Open, or Add to Journal.

As we have pointed out before, the ongoing market tension is so palpable it can be cut with a knife. As a reminder, institutional investors are now about as "all in" as they can be, spinning narratives about economic growth, housing bottom, and general improvement (despite all facts to the contrary), while waiting for one simple thing: to get retail investors buying again. Because unless the Fed or ECB pumps another trillion or so in new liquidity there is simply no new purchasing money. However, as we have shown time and again, retail investors have had it with stocks, and are dumping domestic equity funds hand over fist despite the near vertical equity ramp fest, while money going into ETFs, that traditional straw man used by fund flow apologists, has been going almost exclusively into bond-related vehicles. Yet one group of investors has not been waiting to find out which way this temporary stalemate will end (because either the buyers' money will end first, or retail will throw in the towel and after a 20% artificial, liquidity-driven move to the upside will capitulate and become the latest bagholder). That group is corporate insiders: the people who know the fundamental prospects of their companies better than anyone, and certainly better than the propaganda media or the always wrong Wall Street sell side analyst brigade. And as the chart below demonstrates, insiders are now out and selling in record quantities.

Over the last decade, as part of the Islands Trust marine stewardship program, the Islands Trust, along with other local governments and allies such as the Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society and the Georgia Strait Alliance, has been writing to and meeting with elected and paid officials of the agencies responsible for negotiating the proposed Southern Strait of Georgia National Marine Conservation Area Reserve (NMCA).
The concept of marine protection for the Southern Strait of Georgia was first proposed in the late 1960s. The area is among the most productive marine ecosystems in the world and is home to some of Canada's most iconic marine animals such as orca whales, salmon and seals. Ecologically sustainable fishing, navigation and recreation will continue once the NMCA is established.
After more than a decade of study, on October 13, 2011, the Governments of Canada and British Columbia announced a proposed boundary for the proposed NMCA. The proposed boundary closely matches the one suggested in the Islands Trust's resolution endorsed by the Union of British Columbia Municipalities in 2010. The proposed feasibility study area (see map) now extends to the southern tip of Gabriola Island, as was advocated by the Gabriola Local Trust Committee in 2005.
In February 2013, the Islands Trust Chair wrote to the federal and provincial ministers of environment to convey the Islands Trust Council's:
The Islands Trust has encouraged the support the creation of the NMCA Reserve in several meetings with provincial ministers of environment.
Please visit Parks Canada for more information on this topic. Please forward your comments or questions on all aspects of the proposal to Parks Canada here: firstname.lastname@example.com
The Islands Trust Policy Statement include Policy 3.4.2: It is Trust Council's policy that marine areas be protected and coastal zone management principles be defined in consultation with agents of the government of British Columbia, the government of Canada, Crown corporations, municipalities, regional districts, non-government organizations, property owners and occupiers.

As many of you are aware, I spent the last 30-plus days collecting feedback, comments, and suggestions from residents of West Park. My goal was to identify those issues that residents in all four corners of our city would like to see addressed. Our neighbors from Carver Ranches, Lake Forest, Miami Gardens and Twin Lakes provided their feedback by coming to my campaign office, calling my campaign office, and/or speaking with me or a team member directly as we walked our entire City.
During the campaign, I promised that at 12:00 midnight on Wednesday, I would forward your input to the City's leadership. I am pleased to inform you that at exactly 12:00 midnight on Wednesday morning, I sent an email to the City Manager, the Mayor and other City Commissioners containing all of the feedback I received from all of the neighborhoods I visited. The City Manager has already reviewed the full list and has started acting upon your suggestions. In fact, our full commission is thoroughly committed to ensuring that our residents are heard and your issues are addressed.
To see the full list of feedback, comments, and suggestions from residents of West Park (grouped according to the neighborhood where the residents lived that provided the input), please visit the website at www.westparkisonecommunity.com. I will periodically post updates on the progress made towards responding to your input. You will also be able to provide additional input and comments via a community blog section on the site.
Again, please visit www.westparkisonecommunity.com (www. west park is one community .com) frequently to track our progress and provide any additional input you think would help me to serve you better. I urge all of our residents to stay informed and stay involved!
Please feel free to contact me with your questions or concerns. I can be reached by phone at 954.364.4454 or via email at email@example.com.

"I was born and raised in Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis, off the North West coast of Scotland. I grew up as part of a single parent family and spent most of my school holidays with relatives in a very small village on the East coast of the island. It was here that my interest in art began. I found a huge collection of encyclopaedias in a damp run down old cottage and I remember being amazed by the incredible images, I would spend hours drawing them.
I continued studying art through school but when the restrictions of island life became too frustrating to a young man, I joined the Army at 16.
Spending a short time in the Scottish Infantry (though an incredible experience), made me realise how much I needed to paint. On completing Army training I left to study at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen and have painted ever since."
"As a painter I have always been fascinated by the contrast of photo-realistic painting working in harmony with something much freer ... looser on the same canvas, how opposites can create something 'else', something new.
My 'Paper People' paintings are an extension of this concept, painted sketches interacting with realistically painted objects portraying moments in life. I think it is very important for my work to create emotion and feeling for the viewer, to be able to work and communicate on different levels and not just the visual.
I take my inspiration from the world around me, my son, my family, music, the sea, emotions, feelings, everything really. It all goes in to my paintings. I physically re-create these experiences or ideas on a small scale using paper and everyday objects which I photograph and use as a reference for my paintings."
Donald's paintings are held in many private collections worldwide. In addition to this he was selected as the Scottish Representative for the Johnson and Mead International Exhibition USA, and in 2009 his painting 'Broken Heart' was accepted in to the B.P Portrait Award Exhibition. He recently exhibited a commissioned painting in the Imperial War Museum in Manchester and in 2013 he won a place in the 7th Figurativas Painting and Sculpture Exhibition, held in the European Museum of Modern Art, Barcelona.

4 Great Places You Should Travel To In 2014
Posted on: 7th February 2014
This is for all those who simply love travelling discovering and rediscovering the beauty this planet offers in every season and every type of geographical location. Here are some of the most interesting spots you should aim to visit in 2014:
- Riviera Nayarit, Mexico – this is a sun, sand and sea combination in an until very recently discovered part of Mexico. Its major attraction is derived from the exquisitely preserved colonial houses, virgin beaches, surfing waves, and most remarkable nature lovers experiences such as watching whales, turtles nesting, migratory and local birds and many more. The crowds have not yet caught up with this exquisite location and it is hence, still unspoiled by the "tourist attack". This is going to change soon; so, this is the best time for you to enjoy this beautiful destination.
- India – a world in its own beauty, India is a superb destination and one that has become more affordable than ever now with the rupee falling to 62 per dollar. Kerala for its stunning natural beauty and ayurvedic treatments/ massages, Sikkhim for its all organic produce and stunning scenery, Goa for its amazing beaches and non-stop fun and frolic atmosphere, Pondicherry for its French-Indian mix and so many others. Women should not really travel alone in India; and even when traveling as a couple, should be very careful about personal safety especially when visiting non-tourist towns/ locations.
- Berlin, Germany – 2014 celebrates 25 years completed since the hated Berlin wall fell and West and East Germany become one. The commemoration would be almost as historic as the real thing with helium balloons recreating the wall which will be released together to mark and celebrate the unity the people of East and West Germany feel today. Even without this remarkable celebration, Berlin a fun city which will leave you happy and relaxed in every possible manner. Besides it is far more affordable than any of the famous European cities such as Paris or London.
- Richmond, Virginia, United States – this is a beautiful destination for those who love farm-to-table restaurants and some stunning natural locations and activities. You will have here for the most adventurous, the white-water river rapids which will take you right through downtown. This year Richmond will commemorate the 150th anniversary of some of the biggest of the civil battles Virginia State experienced. There is plenty to see and visit for the history buffs as the State has many mementos of that destructive period.
This is definitely an indicative list and of course, there are many more most-wonderful ever-green destinations such as Rio de Janeiro, Taiwan, Bali, Scotland, Liverpool (of the Beatles fame) and so on; but this is a good list to start with.

Scientists in
The team started from a long-known mineral: Argyrodite. It is a silver, germanium and sulphur-containing mineral discovered near
A team led by Hans-Joerg Deiseroth in
The individual components of argyrodite can be replaced by a number of other atoms without altering the typical structure of the mineral. The term argyrodite now refers to an entire class of compounds that have a specific arrangement of atoms and type of structure.
The team produced a version of the mineral in which silver is replaced by lithium, germanium by phosphorus, and some of the sulphur atoms by halides (chloride, bromide or iodide), resulting in argyrodite-like structures.
In the crystal lattice the phosphorus, sulphur and halide atoms adopt a dense tetrahedral packing arrangement in which the gaps are filled somewhat regularly with lithium ions.
The scientists have thoroughly examined the lithium argyrodites by single-crystal X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy.
This analysis allowed precise characterisation of the crystal structures of these compounds and provided fascinating insights into the dynamics of the mobile lithium ions.
Batteries that doesn't need recharging is not a new innovation anyway. European researchers have already built prototypes of a combination solar cell and ultra-thin flexible battery.
This technology could lead to cell phones that don't need rechargers or clothes that gather light and provide power to a variety of hungry accessories.
The "Solar Battery" is not only thin, but also flexible enough to integrate with a wide range of electronic devices, including flat, bendable objects like a smart card and, potentially, flexible mobile phones and e-readers.
Prototypes of the solar battery weigh as little as two grams and are less than one millimeter thick. The organic solar cell used in the prototype is based on a mix of electrically conducting polymers and Fullerenas. The cells can be cut or produced in special shapes and can be printed on a roll-to-roll machine at low temperature, offering the potential of low-cost, high-volume production.

When you diet using Medifast, you get to enjoy a healthy lean & green meal that you make for yourself each day when you follow the 5 and 1 plan. Most Medifast dieters usually opt to have their Lean & Green meal at dinnertime and I always did the same. In fact, I found that I had the best results by sticking to just a few basic menus while I was dieting. It kept me from worrying about what I was going to eat every day and so it kept me from thinking about cheating. So here are some quick and easy lean & green menu ideas to help keep your Medifast diet on track.
Chicken Caesar Salad
I lost over 60 lbs on Medifast, and I did it eating chicken Caesar salad about three or four nights per week. It was a quick and easy dinner option that I could put together in about five minutes. Since it was so quick, I didn't mind cooking separate meals for my family because I knew I wasn't going to spend all night in the kitchen.
To prepare my dinner, I usually used pre-washed bags of romaine lettuce or I would pick up some Dole Caesar Salad Kits when they were on sale. You can cook your own chicken breast and dice it up, or you can do what I did — buy packaged grilled chicken strips.
For variety, I usually added some sun-dried tomato and occasionally mushrooms. Or if I had some bagged spinach, I'd mix my romaine lettuce with the spinach. You'll be having a full two cups of salad greens so mix them how you like. Just remember to leave off the croutons!
Asian Stir Fry
You can enjoy lots of stir fries for your Lean & Green meal and it can help keep things interesting because you can easily swap out the type of protein you use and the various types of vegetables. For oil, you can use a small amount of olive oil or try some sesame oil. If you use a non-stick pan, a little oil goes a long way.
My favorite veggies are broccoli, green beans and some pepper and onion strips. Mushrooms always go into the mix too. Oh, and don't forget the garlic! Once you heat the oil up, you are going to add your vegetables and stir them constantly. They are done when the colors turn bright. Then add either diced and cooked chicken or shrimp and stir fry for another minute or two and pass it all onto your plate. You won't even miss the rice!
Grilled Steak and Roasted Asparagus
I love steak and asparagus together, so this is another lean and green meal staple for me. For my steak, I use my George Foreman grill. I don't like to use a lot of the regular marinades sold at the supermarket because so many of them have sugar in them. Instead, I use a beer marinade. One can or bottle of beer, combined with some crushed garlic and some ground pepper and maybe a tablespoon of olive oil will make your meat moist and tasty while adding negligible calories. The alcohol burns itself off during cooking so you don't need to worry about that either.
For the roasted asparagus, I spread out my asparagus in a baking dish then drizzle it with either one tablespoon or olive oil or a tablespoon of low fat dressing (either Italian or Caesar). Then I toss the asparagus until they are all evenly covered and lie them out flat again. Grind some black pepper over them in stick in a 350 F degree oven for 10-15 minutes, depending on how crispy you like them.
So there you have, my three main staple menus for my lean and green meals on Medifast. All of them are quick and easy to throw together and hopefully you family will also enjoy eating them with you occasionally.[ad_2]

Madrid – day 2
After breakfast we headed for our next classes at TANDEM and at lunch time we ate paella with seafood at the same place as the day before. After that we walked all the way to Lavapies where we learned the basics of Flamenco.
When we finished the dance class at around 16:00 we could spend the rest of the day however we wanted to. Our free time was mainly spent by walking around the city and enjoying it.
Madrid – day 1
Or actually day 2. We landed in Madrid yesterday at 23:40 and took a bus directly to the hostel. Everyone was exhausted after the three hour long flight and immediately went to sleep. Everyone except the midnight snackers. We all snuck out to a local Spanish "churrería" that had everything from pizza to cookies and churros.
When all tummies were satisfied, the midnight snackers also hit the hay. An early morning awaited us. After a delicious breakfast and a short walk we stood outside the doors of our school; Tandem. We were divided into two groups and headed for our classrooms. Today's lessons were mainly focused on conversing and not grammar.
After class, we ate lunch and then we continued to the Reina Sofia Museum. There we saw several artworks by famous artists such as Picasso, Miró and Dalí. We especially focused on El Guernica. Our guide was very interesting and we learned a lot.
Later, we had free time. Some chose to stay at the museum and others went shopping. Finally, we met up at a restaurant and ate dinner together.
Before bedtime, some of us took a stroll around town and passed by Puerta de Sol and Plaza Mayor. We even found the absolute center of Spain!

Tagged: foot pain
Fretting over Feet
On the whole, people who are concerned with fitness and their bodies care about their heart, joints, muscles, bones, flexibility, strength, and body fat levels. Almost every body part is fretted over, toned, built, and stretched – every body part that is except the feet. Yet the feet are the gateway to everything we do except for sitting and sleeping.
One of the first things I noticed back when I obtained my first PT certification was the rampant postural distortions of peoples' feet and how they walked. Millions of people walk in an unstable manner, using only a portion of their feet which results in painful or harmful ramifications throughout their bodies. For example:
If you walk on the outside rim of your feet (supinated) you put strain on the already thin muscles of the ankles which can transfer up into your hips and back.
If you walk tilting your feet inward (pronated) onto the inside or large ball of the big toe, you again can suffer from ankle strain and also can cause series knee pain.
Those who walk almost exclusively up on the balls of their feet (heels rarely touching or bouncing as they walk) can experience tightening of the calves and hamstrings which in turn pull on the lower back as well as painful ball-joint tenderness and swelling.
Finally there is the duck walk or pigeon-toed options (toes pointing at 10 and 2 or inward with heels at 5 and 7) both of which misaligns the hips and can cause sciatic nerve pain and other hip, back and knee issues. (Women in particular tend to duck-walk when wearing super high heels as it eases some of the toe pain.)
For women obsessed with high heels, the ramifications of years of putting all your weight on your toes can result in irreversible foot pain, hammer toes, bunions, and serious knee and back strain. We weren't meant to have our feet chronically (if ever) in the same position as Barbie dolls – it's just not good for the body.
So take a look at how you walk. Try to notice if your feet are turned out or in, or where you feel pressure when you take a step. An easy assessment to make is to look at the heels of your shoes – are they worn evenly or on the outer or inner portions only.
If you suffer from foot pain and/or pain radiating up from your feet (ankles, knees, etc.), you might want to spend some time diligently working on walking straight and even – stepping from heel through to toes, feet pointed forward. I would also suggest spending at least 65% of your week in comfortable, arch-supportive, flat (or no more than a 2″ heel) shoes.
In the evening you should kneed your feet with your knuckles massaging your heels, arches, balls of the feet, and even your toes (or get a loved one to give you a well-deserved foot massage). Then spend a few minutes seated while holding your legs out and pointing your toes into a tight stretch (like ballerina feet) and then alternating with flexed feet (heels down toes up) again holding for a tight stretch.
The feet are really the most essential body part to daily living aside from your brain and heart. Do not neglect or abuse them. You've only got two and if they get ruined, you're chair-bound!

Pop trio TLC originally said they did not want to cast known actresses in the VH1 bio-film about the group, but apparently that has all changed.
Two casting choices have been revealed for the film.
Rapper Lil Mama has been cast as the late Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes in the movie.
Left Eye died in a car accident in Honduras in 2002.
"High School Musical" star Monique Coleman had previously expressed interest in playing the role of Left Eye.
The part of TLC's Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas has been landed by "Akeelah and the Bee" star Keke Palmer.
The role is a dream come true for the former Nickelodeon star, who grew up being a huge fan of TLC as a child.
No word on who has been cast as Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins.
