BMB Completes Management Overhaul With Arrival of New CEO
Jason Cobbold replaces Juliet Haygarth in the role
Cheil Worldwide agency BMB has hired Jason Cobbold as its new CEO.
Cobbold will begin the role in October, leading BMB's management team and working to rejuvenate the agency's offering across its client roster, reporting to Cheil Europe CEO Kevin Park.
Cobbold's arrival completes a management restructuring at BMB and follows the arrival of executive creative director Matt Lever from VCCP last month. He replaces former CEO Juliet Haygarth, who left the agency last December for health reasons.
"We can't wait to get started on the next chapter here at BMB. Jason is a great talent and will be a wonderful asset and leader going forward," BMB COO Matt Hyde said in a statement.
"Few agencies are held in the same regard and affection as BMB, and I will be building on this with Matt and the team," Cobbold added. "Together, we'll be driving a business that serves the needs of today's marketers and brand owners."
Cobbold joins BMB from brand strategy and innovation agency Redscout, where he spent nearly the past four years building up and leading the agency's London office as managing director, working with clients including PepsiCo, Warner Brothers, Marriott, Boots, Pernod Ricard and HelloFresh.
Prior to joining Redscout in 2014, Cobbold spent nearly five years as deputy managing director for Publicis London, working with clients including Renault, HBO and Tourism Ireland.
BMB's recent work includes an "Over the Rainbow" campaign for Pride in London, "Be You" for Samsung (as part of the Cheil Worldwide Network) and "Be More Us" for The Campaign to End Loneliness. The agency also counts Legoland, LinkedIn and Rubicon amongst its clients.

MORE than 850 jobs have been cut at failed retail chain Allied Carpets after administrators were forced to close 142 stores, including its branches at Merry Hill and West Bromwich, it was revealed today.
BDO Stoy Hayward said it had been unable to sell on the bulk of the flooring firm's branches.
The stores, which also include its Redditch, Stafford, Tamworth and Evesham branches, were all closed by yesterday, but the future of around another 120 jobs still hangs in the balance as BDO seeks to offload the remaining 20 outlets remaining in administration.
BDO has already sold 55 stores to a new firm set up by former Allied chief executive Clive Hutchings, having recently struck a deal to offload another four to the firm, called Allied Carpets Retail Limited.
Allied Carpets went into administration last month, with 21,000 orders still outstanding.
BDO said it was making good progress finishing the orders. It remains hopeful of selling on the remaining stores that are still trading and said it was also in negotiations over deals for the premises of those stores included in the recent wave of closures.
Dermot Power, BDO Stoy Hayward business restructuring partner, said: "Although we have had a strong level of initial interest in the portfolio, the common concern has been around the lack of visibility of future turnover."
Allied Carpets fell victim to the housing market slump as fewer home sales dented demand for flooring and carpets.

The Trouble with Wilbur
There's nothing like a feral pig to blur the line between free food and pest management. Days after the Arizona Daily Star published a map showing feral pig populations around the state (along with a note that Arizona doesn't require licenses for hunting feral pigs), a dozen hunting parties converged on one of the hot spots: Redington, just north of Tucson. They didn't find what they were looking for, but they sure stressed out local rancher Stefanie Smallhouse:
Smallhouse said the only pigs regularly seen on the ranch are her mother-in-law's regular, domestic swine. She's afraid someone will shoot them, thinking they're wild.
The ranch previously had wild pigs, neighboring ranchers and hunting guides said, because they were released there in the 1980s. Smallhouse said she did not know what happened in the past - she only knows they rarely show up on her ranch anymore.
Feral pigs are not the same as javelinas--they're domesticated swine that escaped or were set free. Once in the wild, they quickly become ungulates from hell. According to zoologist Jack Mayer, pigs will eat almost anything with a calorie. That includes seeds, snakes, wild turkeys, baby lambs and kids (meaning goat kids, not the people variety, though they're not above eating human flesh: for vivid examples in fiction see Lost and Junot Diaz's "No Face"). In places with coastlines, feral pigs have been known to sneak up behind sea turtles during hatching time and swallow the eggs as they pop out of Mama Turtle.
With that kind of diet, it's no wonder feral pigs can get to be 200-300 pounds. The US population is 2-6 million, with half of those rooting around in Texas. Australia and Canada also have their share of pig infestations. Arizona, though, is lucky: pigs need surface water, so the state's hostile deserts keep populations in control.
Where there is water, the pigs wreak havoc. Their waste is a menace to water quality, they dig for roots and release sediment into streams. This is a particular problem in California's San Luis Obispo County, where pigs are threatening steelhead populations by damaging riparian zones. Local rangers are hunting and trapping the pigs with the hope that some of the meat can be donated to charity. This notion got quite a positive response on the comments section. One reader wrote,
Tough and fecund critters, those pigs, and I think they're here to stay. Still, it might be nice to see weekly pig roasts to feed the needy there at the group picnic area at Laguna Lake Park.
"Kill em and grill em," agreed another reader called Spectator. "Let a bow hunt and barbecue result, with an entry fee and profits to fish and game."
That comment was followed by this helpful hint:
ANYONE Interested in a Bow Hunting Course / Bow Licensing Class, should contact Ron McCutcheon (SLO Sportsman Association) at 234-7873.
If you're curious about wild pig recipes, keep in mind that they're much leaner than regular pigs. All that foraging sure builds up muscle mass. Then again, if you're stuck with a 300-lb carcass, here's a recipe for feral pig chile verde, to be served with "warm flour tortillas, shredded lettuce, tomato, cheese, sour cream and cold Mexican beer."

Currency ban: black money need not be back5 min read . Updated: 24 Nov 2016, 08:10 AM IST
This demonetisation programme has met with polarised responses. Supporters argue this action will help rid the economy of black money, lower interest rates, and deliver a huge dividend from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to the government treasury
On 9 November, at the stroke of the midnight hour—just as in the Cinderella fairytale—Indians saw their stash of cash reduced to 'pumpkin and mice'. Princes, the illegitimate ones, became paupers. This has also caused enormous hardship especially among the most vulnerable sections of society who have borne this difficulty with fortitude. More steps are needed to ensure that their sacrifice has not been futile.
This demonetisation programme has met with polarised responses. Supporters argue this action will help rid the economy of black money, lower interest rates, and deliver a huge dividend from the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to the government treasury.
Detractors, however, are skeptical and claim the move impacts the store of physical cash rather than acting to curb the flow of black money since much of the black money is in the form of gold and real estate.
Further, they charge that this move will lower deposit rates, not just lending rates, and importantly, that it breaches the solemn legal promise to pay the bearer of cash the tendered amount, without conditions.
Another expectation from this move is that it will accelerate the adoption of e-money. However, it is not practical to use e-money to fill air in the tyre of a bicycle or for a child to buy candy.
The small sizes of these transactions, which form the majority in an average Indian consumer's daily life, make the fixed cost of e-money uneconomical for the merchant. Black money is created in two broad ways. Firstly, under-invoicing of legitimate activities like those of self-employed professionals, and secondly, failure to report income arising from illegal activities such as corruption, extortion, terrorism funding, and others.
Steps do need to be taken to ensure there is no future avenue for creation, circulation and conversion of such monies.
One way to do that is to put all high denomination notes on an 'auto-demonetisation' mode. Under this proposal, all high-value notes would expire as legal tender after a set number of years from the date of their printing. Let me elaborate on this proposal further. Any currency is an IOU (I owe you or a debt) of the government, issued by the monetary authority, which in this case is the RBI in India, and is founded on a promise to pay the bearer. It is, in fact, a zero coupon perpetual promissory note with 'no call' option. Further, all currency is money, all money is not currency.
When the government or RBI de-notifies a currency as valid legal tender, it declares that currency cannot be used for economic transactions. The promise to pay the bearer remains intact but it requires the bearer to go back to the RBI (or a designated bank) and get an equal value in exchange.
This is routinely done to weed out counterfeit notes, or, as is happening in the UK where the paper five pound note is currently being replaced by a polymer one.
The RBI cannot profit from unreturned notes. Only when the RBI 'sights and destroys' a currency note, is it absolved of the liability or promise to pay. Doing otherwise would be a breach of contract. A promise in eternity is, well, just that.
Currency, of course, comes in various denominations. The smaller denominations are used for majority of transactions and the larger ones are generally used as a store of value. It is the latter that fuels the black money economy. The former keeps the economy chugging along daily, the importance of which all Indians have come to realise in the past few days. The RBI, therefore, should increase the quantity of small denominations significantly to accommodate most retail transactions—from buying a cup of tea to paying the bus conductor.
The argument that it is costly to print smaller denominations is flawed as it neither takes into account the velocity of such denominations nor considers the cost of the alternative solution to undertake small transactions, which is the lifeblood of the economy. It is like arguing over the cost of stamp paper on which a property sale deed is being registered.
Tackling unaccounted wealth calls for a restriction of supply of high denominations and also for them to be kept on an 'auto-demonetisation' schedule. This would significantly curtail their use for anything other than legitimate activities. Undeclared physical assets will also become difficult to monetise using such currency. The cost of frequent printing will pale in comparison to the benefits reaped.
Under this idea, most high-value transactions would be performed electronically by credit or debit cards, e-wallets or bank transfers, and therefore can be tracked. All low-value transactions would remain in cash and would support the large fragmented retail sector, for whom the cost of accepting e-money is not insignificant. Finally, it will significantly curb the black economy.
Why not abolish all high denominations? Many people, like this author, do not trust banks with all their savings for a variety of reasons including the fact that they are limited liability companies, that they can be affected by cyber-attacks and that their recent performance in lending leaves much to be desired.
There should always remain an option to keep some savings in currency (another option can be e-currency issued by the RBI).
This would result in some inconvenience every few years, like one needs to access a bank locker once in a while, when these legally obtained notes would be required to be converted into that day's legal tender.
Even if these notes are forgotten for years, they can still be converted upon production of legitimate documents. A promise is a promise, and a currency carries one made under the seal of the President of India.
The present action of the government is like 'A Great Purge' where sins have been cleansed by a symbolic dip in the Holy Ganga. All new money is white now. But if the government does not take further steps then it will lead to 'A Great Surge' and the black economy would get reincarnated and the recent pain of honest citizens would have been in vain.

Looking for work? South Texas is calling.
A recent study found a burgeoning demand for skilled workers across the region, including welders, pipefitters, CNC operators, quality control (QC) technicians and more.
The growth of job opportunities and the rebound of the manufacturing sector are among the findings that will be discussed at the South Texas Economic Competitiveness Conference on May 6, at the Convention Center in Cotulla, Texas.
Researchers studied the 15 Texas counties below the Nueces River, an area historically known as the Nueces Strip.
The 18-month study centered on the competitive opportunities for jobs, attraction and expansion of the manufacturing sector, and methods for expanding the supplier base across the region. It was conducted by the Texas A&M Engineering Extension Service (TEEX) in cooperation with the U.S. Economic Development Administration.
"Major changes are underway in South Texas beyond just the tremendous impact of the Eagle Ford oil and gas activity, including job demands and manufacturing opportunities," says TEEX economic development expert John Adams, who led the study.
In addition to Adams, other speakers include Dr. Barry Lawrence, Director of the Global Supply Chain Laboratory at Texas A&M University, and Dr. Harold Hunt of the Texas A&M Real Estate Center, who will discuss supply chain connections in South Texas and the trends and opportunities in the Eagle Ford Shale.
Economic consultant Tom Stellman, President of TIP Strategies, will discuss the skills gap in Texas manufacturing. Additional speakers will address how to bring business to South Texas and future opportunities at the Port of Brownsville.
The conference begins at 10 a.m., May 6, and is free and open to the public.

The Delhi High Court has sought replies from the Central Government after an NGO filed a petition urging it to remove obscene content from online streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon, and others.
A two-judge bench of the Delhi High Court consisting of Chief Justice Rajendra Menon and Justice V Kameswar Rao asked the Central Government about the guidelines to regulate content on online video streaming portals, law news portal Bar and Bench reported.
Justice for Rights Foundation, which filed the petition said that content on online streaming portals are completely uncensored and do not come under the government's censorship regulations which are mandatory for all television broadcasting and cinematic presentation.
Satyam Singh Rajput, National President of Justice For Rights Foundation told Little India, "Our problem is with the government who does not have any control over the online video contents, streamed by various portals. It is completely 'uncensored.' When a kid logs in Netflix, all the adult contents are also accessible to them. "Under parental guidelines" does not make sense as parents should not have to watch over the kids the whole time when they are watching TV."
"The government counsel does not have any response regarding this matter. Neither RTI contains any knowledge regarding the rules of these online video streaming portals," Rajput told Little India. "Half of the Indian youth is against us, but our plea is to regulate the online content which should not be completely uncensored."
Advocate Harpreet Singh Hora, Counsel of the petitioner stated in the court that streaming services also violate the Article 19(1) of the Constitution of India which should "go hand in hand" with Article 19(2). Thus, the online content should not go unregulated.
Referring to shows like Sacred Games, Vikings, Game of Thrones, and Spartacus, Hora said these were "pornographic, profane, virulent, religiously forbidden and morally unethical content," that is easily accessible to minors, Bar and Bench noted.
Asking for removal of such "objectionable content," the petition noted that the contents violate the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act, 1986, the publication quoted the petition as saying.
The case is up for hearing again on Feb. 8, 2019.

Why bother taking out several items just to make juice when you can do it all in one go with the Takeya Flash Chill Lemonade Maker?
Normally making juice involves breaking out a lemon squeezer that sits over a bowl that it will fit over. There's always the option of an electrical juicer or blender, but that costs too much money. The Takeya Flash Chill Lemonade Maker is the perfect item that does everything in one place with no mess. The top of the lid features a lemon squeezer that will let the juices flow right into the jug below it. The lid is airtight so that it locks in freshness and it's spill and leakproof. It may be a simple item, but it's one you probably wish you had in the kitchen.

Block Flags - Outdoor Banner Stands w/Custom Graphics
Increase Outdoor Advertising Opportunities with Custom Graphic Block Flags
Placing signage outdoors is a great way to draw in customers that are passing by your store! Custom graphics give retail owners a lot of flexibility. Increase branding, promote a specific sale, or simply encourage more people to enter your store. Block flags are large-scale, custom banners that are ideal for retail store advertising. These large signs are great to place on sidewalks near busy roads to increase exposure. Some of the banner poles reach as high as 17 feet! Utilize different styles of block flags including the weighted base, ground spike or permanent mount.
Rectangular block flags are commonly found in a wide variety of settings. Theme parks and zoos love to use them because they are so large, and often go well with the grandiose or "larger than life" theme. Retail stores, especially in boardwalk and factory settings, use these vertical banners to draw extra attention to their stores and garner more attention than their competitors. Other common places include gas stations, car washes and restaurants!

We live in a culture of violence.
The other night, for the very first time, we allowed our son to witness someone being murdered in cold blood.
It wasn't intentional. Kelly and I were excited to introduce Owen to some of our most beloved Christmas movies. So, we sat down on the couch to watch Home Alone. We had forgotten over the years is that a mob murder scene plays a crucial role in the plot. As I fumbled in the dark for the remote so I could fast forward the scene, Kelly and I glanced at each other in alarm, shocked at the spectacle to which we had just exposed our innocent son.
You might think we're overprotective. Maybe we are. But, in a world in which mass killings like San Bernardino happen on a weekly basis, aren't we justified in being careful about what he sees?
The tragic events of this week have caused all of us to do some serious thinking about the violence we witness. There has been no shortage of discussion about gun control. The people on the left want to amend the Constitution, stemming the tide of violence by taking guns off the street. People on the right assure us that guns aren't the problem. They go so far as to insinuate that the massacre might have been less bloody if more civilians on the scene had been armed. Both sides really only succeed in condemning those who don't share their view. Religious people, no matter where they appear on the political spectrum, haggle over the root causes of the problem and wring their hands about what the future holds. Is radical Islam the problem? Are these isolated occurrences? Should we pray? Is that enough? How should we align ourselves politically? Can I find a verse in my Bible that connects all of this with the Second Coming? What can or should we do?
The truth is that nobody is really offering a good answer.
How do you kill a culture of violence?
It has to be stopped. And, although it isn't as immediate as a Constitutional amendment, as black-and-white as more state laws, or as easy as washing our hands and blaming another group for the problems, we can each do our part to change culture. It isn't going to happen on a public stage. It isn't going to be glamorous. And, it's certainly not going to be quick.
Here are three things we can each do to change our culture of violence from within.
Stop consuming violence
It astonishes me that there is so little conversation about the utterly violent nature of American culture. We purchase grossly violent video games for our children and then react in shock when teenagers play first-person shooter in real life. We pay $300 for the price of a ticket to watch our favorite football team beat the stuffing out of their rivals and gasp in horror when a violent player knocks the stuffing out of his girlfriend. We eagerly binge watch the most carnal, violent sexual acts and then reel back in disgust when a neighbor ends up being a monster who preys on innocent victims. The horrific examples can go on and on and on and on.
This is madness! It's hypocrisy at its most appalling. It has to stop.
We must resolve to stop glorifying violence and consuming it until we're stuffed. We have to stop inviting it into our homes and idolizing its most brazen purveyors. We have to determine to protect our hearts and the hearts of our children. Because, make no mistake, people become violent because they are nurtured to become violent.
Become and partner with people of peace
We must pursue peace. We must pray for it. We must work for it. (It can never be an either-or proposition.) It must begin with us, extend to our children, include the people with whom we partner, and pervade every area of our lives.
Jesus said, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God," ([biblegateway passage="Matthew 5:9″]).
Political philosophy, theological distinctions, culture, background, color, and socio-economic status are immaterial; we can work together if you're a person of peace. We can take Jesus' call to work for peace seriously and we can work together, in our neighborhoods, workplaces, churches, and communities to foster and protect peace.
Leverage the Gospel to bring about true change
As we proceed, we can never forget that the only force that can bring about true change is the Holy Spirit, working in individual hearts, by [biblegateway passage="John 3:16-17″ display="the Gospel of Jesus Christ"]. Without the Gospel, all other change is shallow, temporary, and tenuous at best. But, by God's grace, hearts, homes, communities, nations, and the world can be truly and forever transformed.
What will you do?
Will you stop consuming violence? Will you partner actively with people of peace? Will you embody the Gospel? The only way to kill a culture of violence is to transform it from within.


text: FEATURED AUTHOR had a lot of grace He needed to pour into me. I was a wounded spirit. The hard things in life God used to make me teachable. Only when I came to the end of myself did I realize God really is everything He claims to be—and much more. I am thankful for those dark, fearful, waters almost thirty years ago. Without them, God couldn't give me the books He wants me to write today. I am working on the third book in the Seventh Dimension Series – The Castle, where a young Jewish boy is confronted with a scandalous secret hidden from his people for two thousand years. The process of writing puts me in the seventh dimension – where God reveals Himself to me in ways I don't understand. LORILYN R OBERTS T wo days before my thirtieth birthday my ex-husband left me for another woman. The house was cold and empty and I thought I would never be happy again. I didn't want to live anymore and seriously considered ending my life. God too small. We try to create Him in our image and then when our puny dreams aren't answered, we're disappointed. Maybe we ask with the wrong motives at times, but more often than not, God wants to give us something better. However, life keeps moving forward just as God's kingdom advances unceasingly. I now have two beautiful internationally adopted daughters, I work at home providing broadcast captioning for television, and I just published my seventh book as an indie author. I just returned from a mission trip to Nepal with my younger daughter, Joy. We delivered a hundred pounds of books to orphans. God renewed my spirit on the trip, giving me a more positive attitude toward life and hope that no matter how wicked the world seems, His kingdom is moving forward. The gates of Hell will not prevail. Never give up on your dreams—commit your ways to God and He will give you so much more. If anything, I believe we make God put writing on my heart at a very young age—but without great grace, we can't have great redemption. God surely 74 > CHRISTIAN REVIEW "The mystery of God keeps me from making God too small." If we don't have hope that God can give us our ultimate dreams, then we have made God a stingy God. My hope, satisfaction, and supreme joy are wrapped up in my Lord and Savior. If ever I start to doubt God's grace, I'm the one who has moved, not God. I returned to college at the ripe old age of fifty-six and received my Master of Arts in Creative Writing. In the last three years, I have won almost a dozen awards for my writing. My prayer now is to be able to write full time and make a living from my books. In the meantime, I'm thankful for all the opportunities we have to get our books into the hands of readers. - Bio by Lorilyn Roberts

Taking a break from the Rachael-Ray snarking and Top Chef speculation that occupy most of the folks who bother to post on Chowhound's Food Media board, Kater seeks fellow fans of her husband's favorite new cooking show, the low-budget, Web-only videocast Ctrl-Alt-Chicken. Writing of the show's two stars, Alex Albrecht and Heather Stewart, Kater claims, rightly, "They make that How To Boil Water guy look like Julia Child!"
Alex and Heather (the smart kids in the office, where Heather greatly resembles a younger Nigella, except for the knowing-how-to-cook part) are kind of clueless. Wait, make that very clueless, but snappy with the non sequiturs and one-liners, and completely unfazed by their (frequent) culinary disasters. The show has even inspired an "unofficial" Brit fan site/blog.
But it's not all bumbling around their tiny suburban-kitchen set; the program also includes visits to "the lab" (Alex and Heather again, wearing lab coats and filmed in old-horror-movie black and white), where Alex uses a Mel-Brooks-in-a-Muppet-movie German accent to speculate on the origins of whatever dish they're planning to butcher, er, cook.
Writes Kater,
I can't really think of anyone who might learn from them because ctrl-alt-chicken is more of a cautionary tale. Now I do think that a complete novice might be inspired by their intrepid approach to cooking, and it could get non cooks into the kitchen. But what they do there will probably be disastrous …

In recent days, the mainstream press has been full of reports of the dire plight of the Rohingya, a Muslim ethnic group in predominantly Buddhist Myanmar that is currently being ethnically cleansed by the Burmese military. Over 146,000 have fled into neighboring Bangladesh since late August and many observers fear that the military will engage in full-scale genocide. Latest reports suggest that the military has been sowing landmines along the frontier with Bangladesh across which Rohingya women and children have been fleeing to escape military violence.
Myanmar's campaign of ethnic cleansing has been widely condemned and the United States and the European Union have maintained an arms embargo on the Burmese military due to ongoing concerns about violations of human rights and religious freedom. What has not been reported in the mainstream news is the fact that, even during this ongoing genocidal campaign against its Muslim population, Myanmar has been supplied with weaponry by Israel.
This is by no means the first time that the Israeli defense industry has supplied repressive regimes with the tools of their trade, from apartheid South Africa to Pinochet's Chile and the Guatemalan dictatorship: its weapons industry, indeed, proudly boasts of the fact that its products come well "field tested". They usually fail to mention that their weapons have been tested in repressing Palestinian resistance to an illegal occupation, conducting war against the predominantly civilian population of Gaza, or in maintaining surveillance and policing of the illegal apartheid wall that runs through the West Bank.
Those who have been following the close connections between the Israeli defense industry and the United States will not be surprised to learn from Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz that among the companies hosting Burmese military officials Myanmar is defense contractor Elbit Systems, specialists in surveillance equipment that has been deployed both along the apartheid wall and on the U.S. border with Mexico. Ha'aretz also reports that the head of the Defense Ministry's International Defense Cooperation Directorate, Michel Ben-Baruch went to Myanmar in the summer of 2015, possibly in conjunction with the sale of Israeli-made patrol boats to the military.
Less well known is the defense firm TAR Ideal Concepts, a conglomerate of Israeli manufacturers military and police equipment which also hosts a defense fair, ISDEF in Tel Aviv, which its CEO Aviad Matza proudly claims has become "the international flagship of the Israeli defense industry." Matza is among those who attribute Israel's prowess in producing the technologies of repression to the laboratory that Palestine furnishes. As he puts it: "There is no doubt that the secret in the success of Israeli branding in this area lies in the very diverse defense challenges that Israel faces, and the solutions they get – the Iron Dome and the intelligent fences; Tunnel identification systems and armoured windows for housing along the border; Cyber defense for strategic devices and riots control means. All these are practical and equally important, fast solutions, which meet the rapidly changing security needs."
Matzah does not specify that Israel's "defense challenges" are largely caused by its 50-year regime of occupation and its 12-year blockade on Gaza. Nor, of course, does he invoke Israel's own history and current practices of ethnic cleansing, going back to the Nakba of 1947-8 in which Israel was founded and continuing in today's practices of quiet "transfer" of Palestinians from Israeli-controlled territories. Like Myanmar, Israel is a state dominated by a single ethnic and religious group that seeks to maintain its political supremacy in open violation of international law and human rights. Its affinity with Myanmar is only the latest example of the natural alliances that it forms with other regimes whose survival depends on an ideological commitment to ethnic or ideological supremacy.
Israel's TAR Ideal Concepts uses that experience of control and repression in ways that should concern us all: it not only sells weapons to a genocidal Burmese military, but also operates what Bloomberg describes as "a defense academy that provides training, including military, police, homeland security, and professional training, as well as K-9 training services. It serves ministry of defense (MOD), police departments, and prisons; and law enforcement forces … in Israel and internationally."
Among the police organizations training in Israel are US law enforcement departments, both police and Homeland Security, who have been brought there annually by the Anti-Defamation League in collaboration with Israel's national police, military and intelligence services. Their training, funded by US taxpayers, can include participation in operations on the occupied West Bank against Palestinians. Concern that the highly militarized training of US police forces in Israel has exacerbated the brutality and excessive force that has been used against peaceful demonstrators from Baltimore to Ferguson has inspired Jewish Voice for Peace's ongoing "Deadly Exchange" campaign against these exchange programs that inculcate the "worst practices" of repressive policing.
In the United States, we still have the space to protest Israel's baleful influence on our military and police and the international network of repressive forces for which Palestine serves as a malevolent laboratory. But the Rohingya, like the Palestinians, are at the mercy of Israel's sophisticated arsenals. In protesting the deployment of Israeli techniques and equipment against our fellow citizens, we must not forget to draw the lines of solidarity with those who bear the full brunt of this global network of violence and terror.

This post is part of a series of interviews on the impacts of climate change and the COP21 talks in Paris. The author is one of 78 signatories to an open letter from CEOs to world leaders urging climate action.
Why does climate change matter to your industry?
As geospatial information specialists providing solutions related to infrastructure management, urban planning, and disaster risk management, the increasing frequency and intensity of weather events from climate change directly affects our work. We help our clients, whom in terms of domestic business are overwhelmingly cities and prefectures, to assess, prepare, and develop plans; we provide map-based tools and interfaces to integrate across departments and tasks.
I believe climate change gives our industry an urgent reason to examine how our work relates to the bigger picture of sustainable development and our survival, and address emerging issues pre-emptively and proactively. Ours is a very technical industry, and we tend to dig deeper and narrower into specialty niches.
For example, one of our divisions might be completely focused on hazard mapping, another on forest inventory, and another on hydrological assessments and services. Understanding that all are addressing symptoms from a common cause is important at the corporate management level; important at the strategy level, in terms of identifying underserved issues within the spectrum for future research and development; important at the individual project level as well as to our research and specialist staff in terms of expanding horizons, cross-pollination of ideas and resulting innovation; and important for our sales force in adding context, social relevance and genuine urgency to what they recommend to their potential clients.
What are the key contributions your industry can make?
Climate change brings unpredictability, which threatens the smooth operation of a city. It would be better for our clients, the cities and prefectures, to also understand and proactively take actions against climate change instead of only dealing with its effects as they unfold. Our industry identifies and develops, using existing techniques or innovating where necessary, products and services that would make it easier for individuals, businesses, as well as governments to decide to take action and mitigate climate change. A familiar example might be a map-based tool that calculates how cost effective a new solar panel on your roof would be, taking into account the height of your home and trees in the vicinity, the buyback rates offered by the utility in your area, in addition to location.
While discussions of innovation and private sector contribution towards climate change currently focus on new infrastructure and technologies, it is at least equally important, especially for cash-strapped public sector bodies, to maintain and maximize infrastructure and buildings already in place, while ensuring quality and safety does not fall below par, as part of climate change adaptation. As an example of that, we provide a service involving assessment for roads, where we collect and organize data on roads, bridges, tunnels, retaining walls, and slopes, their damage and repair history, topographical and geological conditions. We utilize this data for daily maintenance and management, and also, to forecast disaster scenarios. When disasters strike, we conduct a post-disaster assessment, to identify and recommend additional measures or adjustment to the management plans. In other words, our industry and businesses like ours help cities adapt to climate change, through smart maintenance supported by layers of data.
What is an area where public-private partnerships could really help deliver climate action?
I have already mentioned infrastructure maintenance and effectively using what already exists. But when the time comes to build everything anew – via real estate or urban development – this is where public-private partnerships can really help accelerate our society into a desired future. We have been involved in the development and management of a low-carbon residential neighbourhood in Sendai City, Japan, with private, public, and academic partners. A key characteristic is the use of renewable energy as part of the energy mix, along with other high-tech features that ensure energy efficiency as well as energy continuity, as the neighbourhood has been developed for those displaced by the earthquake and tsunami in 2011. A lesson from that disaster was that power loss is not just an inconvenience but a life-threatening occurrence in a technologically reliant and ageing society like Japan.
This low-carbon community incorporates the latest technology, which would not have been possible from the cost point of view without strong public partner support, and national subsidies accessed through the public partner. The development, as well as the continued smooth operation and maintenance of the technology involved is also not possible without the private partners, who have taken on a community manager role. This is just one example, but we are hoping that this particular community, and the development and management via public, private, and academic collaboration would be the model and precursor of similar communities in Sendai, its surrounding areas, and all over Japan.
What would you like to see next?
The Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, which is the global agenda adopted this March, emphasizes the importance of risk information, and recommends the communication of accurate and scientific information to the end user, as well as the use of map-based information.
In our industry, we know that there is a fundamentally different level of accuracy and scientific reliability – in terms of pin-point accuracy in location and scale, as well as the reliability of the source of real-time information – required for geospatial information conveyed to local and national agencies for their decision-making. The emphasis on risk information in the Sendai Framework is a great development from our industry point of view, but in that dialogue, I noted that many of the discussions centered on sharing and communication, or in other words, catering to, and reaching, the individual consumers of information.
We cannot forget that in many parts of the world, reliable data still needs to be built up, by survey and collection, before it can be shared. Innovation and investment need to support both specialized products as well as mass-market. Disaster risk reduction and resilience is really the practical portion of climate change adaptation as well as a foundation for sustainable development. Risk information is important for climate change as well, both to take short-term defensive action in terms of adaptation, and to take long-term offensive action to mitigate climate change. I hope to see more balance, in this regard, in the upcoming climate change conversation.

Royal Wootten Bassett
On Saturday 13 August, Susan P and I spent a very pleasant couple of hours in the library at Royal Wootton Bassett doing some hand stitching. We had a small display of some of our work, which attracted the attention of two ladies who sat and chatted with us for about 45 minutes. They may decide to join us at our next meeting. A couple of other ladies stopped to chat. We enjoyed the time we spent there and hope we raised awareness of the Embroiderers Guild a bit!

Activated Charcoal for Brown Recluse Spider Bites
review by Ask a Healer
Suggested Reading:
MMS for Detoxing
Activated Charcoal - Good For More Than Gas and Bloating! I got bitten by something, probably a spider. At first, it was just a red circular area with a white bump in the middle. Then, it began to get bigger and the middle looked as if it were trying to ulcerate. I think it may have been a brown recluse spider bite but I didn't see a spider so I'm not sure about that. In any case, it was looking quite serious. As soon as I saw it, I used everything I could think of... tea tree oil, frankensence oil, a combination of basil, lavender and other oils, aloe vera, vitamin E, Master Mineral Supplement, ASEA, PRID. I even used a medicinal fungal cream. I think the aggressive response to the bite helped keep it from ulcerating but it still wasn't healing after two weeks. Activated Charcoal to the Rescue!
About Athlete's Foot
Then, I read about activated charcoal for brown recluse spider bites. Of course, I knew about the drawing properties of activated charcoal. I also knew it was terrific for relieving gas and bloating. I used to keep it in my holistic first aid kit at all times but somewhere along the way, I forgot to replenish so I was out of it.
Activated Charcoal proved a bit harder to find than I thought. CVS had it but it was quite expensive. The local health food store had it but also, quite expensive. I finally found some at Walmart, in a product called Charco, for intestinal gas.
I applied the charcoal twice and also took two tablets internally. It probably wasn't ten minutes after I applied the charcoal to the bite that I felt itching, tingling and nerve ending sensations. Amazing. The entire area had felt entirely numb since the bite. Also, I felt pain where there had been none before. I assumed this was due to nerve endings becoming live again in the area. The difference, the very next day, was noticable. The redness was less, the puckering around the indented area also reduced.
I highly recommend keeping this simple holistic remedy in your first aid kit. Activated Charcoal draws out toxins and can be helpful in emergency situations as well as just for situations such as mine. See a doctor if bites do not heal. This remedy is not suggested as replacement for any needed medical care. Brown recluse spider bites can cause serious damage and even destroy tissue to the point of limbs needing to be amputated. Don't take such a bite lightly. Though most brown recluse spider bites are easy to determine because the skin turns black, this isn't always the case. Sometimes, there is a red circular area with white bump in the middle, just like what I experienced.
Health Care Disclaimer: The bite of the brown recluse spider may cause tissue damage, sometimes extreme. Immediate and aggressive action is best. See a doctor. Follow up if the wound gets worse. Until you can get to a doctor, activated charcoal may well help keep the poison from spreading so I highly recommend having it in your first aid kit at all times.

This is one of the things that for Jack makes Christmas. He and Dave set up one of our lighted Christmas villages on the sideboard in the dining room. They carefully unwrapped each of the houses and unwound the coiled cords. Jack started arranging them. He said, "The church should go in the middle because it's important."
And that is one of the things that makes Christmas for me.

Hosea (Program #4) – On Hosea (3)—The Sins of the Apostate People, the Punishments of Jehovah, and the Return of the Apostate People
Chapters 4 through 6 in the book of Hosea give us many details concerning God chastisement of rebellious people, Israel. For the most part He used the great nations, the great empires of the human history to accomplish this chastisement. Israel had suffered under first the Babylonian empire of Nebuchadnezzar and then the Medo Persian empire and the Greek empire and ultimately the Roman empire. And as harshly as Israel had suffered under these four great empires that were prophesied first by the prophet Daniel, still God had used this for good. Because Israel will eventually return to Jehovah and be fully restored. But even more than that God had used these four consuming empires as factors to help in the accomplishment of His great purpose in bringing forth and manifesting Christ

The (Same Old) Battle Lines of 'Big Brother'
Amid the racist, homophobic and misogynistic hate speech on this season of Big Brother are some other ugly truths that also just won't go away
Bucking a growing academic trend, I am not one to see reality TV as a microcosm of American society. Mainly because, unlike reality TV, real life doesn't come with hosts, commercial breaks, "physical challenges", immunity idols and other reality show staples. But the current season of CBS's Big Brother (and many of its prior seasons as well) has me re-thinking some of my stance.
By now you've probably heard about the rampant and ugly racist, misogynistic and homophobic comments that are being made in the house by various "houseguests" this season. It's alarming on a variety of levels: that in this day and age people still hold such cruel and backward thoughts; that they are so open and willing to share them especially when they know they are microphoned 24 hours a day; that no other houseguest has chosen to challenge them on their views; and that CBS is, by and large, taking such a laid-back approach to the entire situation.
Though not quite as disturbing as all this hate speech this season, other typically unsavory elements of the game/house have, once again, come to the fore.
Big Brother, like its more high-rent relative Survivor, is a show about alliances. If you want to make it to the end of these contests, you better work with at least a couple of other people along the way. But what is noteworthy about the variety of successful alliances that have formed over the years on various seasons of BB is how they almost always divide along gender lines. Secret or not, the game always devolves into men vs. women. So far, on this season of Big Brother, a five-member all-male alliance has already emerged. Shocking, I know! This same dynamic also often occurs on MTV's endless, seemingly indestructible Challenge franchise (a regular series made up of former cast members of Real World and the now defunct Road Rules series which pit various "returnees" against each other for eventual prize money). On Challenge, too, often quite early on, the game also becomes the "guys" vs. "girls" with male cast members often speaking of their female co-competitors in the most vile and reductive terms possible.
What this seems to suggest -- at least to me -- is that despite our public faces and statements to the contrary, deep down (or maybe not so deep down), the two sexes still don't trust each other or, for that matter, even seem to like each other that much beyond basic procreational needs and pleasures. But as alarming as this self-imposed division of the sexes might be, so too are some other "givens" about what results from them.
At least on reality TV, men tend to form alliances first, and far more frequently than women do. And the women, rather than uniting in sisterhood to take on any all-male, anti-woman opposing force, instead, usually just turn on each other. And, sadly, often their reasoning to take down fellow female competitors are straight out of a Mean Girls playbook -- one of the other girls is considered too pretty, one is too popular, one too friendly with the guys. Hence, she has to go! If feminism is dead or close to non-existent on all the Housewives shows and many other catty reality programs (Bad Girls Club, Pretty Wicked Moms, et al), it isn't any more alive on Big Brother, MTV Challenge or other competitive reality fare.
And speaking of male alliances... interesting as well is that no matter how many gay men might be in the mix (in the house, in the cast) they almost always get omitted from any of the all male teams mentioned above. These teams, at least unofficially, are only for male heterosexuals. Eric, a married, muscle bound fire fighter, who was a contestant on the sixth season of Big Brother, said as much early in his season when he was attempted to build a all-male alliance which purposely did not include fellow competitor Beau who was openly gay. "As far as I'm concerned, he's one of the girls!" is what Eric had to say on the matter. If we have yet to have trust or respect for the opposite sex, we also haven't gotten any closer to truly tolerating those with "alternate" lifestyles either. We can give them the right to get married, but we still don't consider them "one of us".
Of course, there never seems to be more than one gay man at a time on a Big Brother cast anyway. Since the beginning, their yearly casts have never included more than one gay man or one lesbian; it's an either/or position. Similarly, African-American or other minority characters are also limited to one per season. Is this tokenism? It certainly is. Do the casting directors sit there with a check list and once they find their required singular black or gay, simply dismiss the rest? It sure seems that way, like they're saying, "No thanks, we've got our one, we got our 'other'."
MTV's Real World has followed this strict casting formula since it began way back in 1992. With rare exception each season's group has been careful to contain only one black man, one black woman, one gay man and/or one gay woman. Duos need not apply. (The series also likes to cast its white cast members along certain lines too -- one uber-hunk; one slightly less handsome but still cute male hottie; one hot chick ;and one cute but slightly innocent child-woman, the latter the "Julie" persona for that season.) With such limited "diversity" being practiced one wonders is this really diversity at all?
Sadly as well, until we viewers learn the names of particular players on the show we usually refer to them, in water cooler talk or in e-mails, via the use of racial and lifestyle shorthand -- the "black guy", the "black chick", the "gay guy". Though to be fair, visual superficiality serves as the identifier of everyone in the beginning as everyone get tags with monikers like "the blond", the "hunk", or "the "fat one", etc.
Though reality TV's modern incarnation -- which I date to debut of Survivor in 2000 -- is a relatively new phenomenon, making it TV's newest genre on the block, the behaviors of many of the people who produce it and participate in it shows that it's far from modern and certainly not progressive at least not in the way it often plays out over the airwaves. In fact, sometimes, it's as sadly old-school and "throw-back" as you can get, and not in a good way.
* * *
POSTSCRIPT: In keeping with its well-worn motto to "expect the unexpected", so far this season Big Brother has delivered a few surprises that have managed to buck its own history. Though an early all-male alliance was formed, it has already petered out (as most of these early alliances tend to do). Though most of the current alliances are not gender specific, various women within this season's house do seem to be emerging as the show's major power players and be working together effectively. Notably, as of this writing, the first three evictees from the house have all been young and male.
Unfortunately, little change has occurred in regard to the racist, homophobic, anti-Semitic and sexist comments that this group of houseguests has indulged in off and on during the season. Hopefully, with time, however, that sad, new tradition will also be expelled from the series.

Public approval of density
My generation, which represents one-quarter of Ontario's population and 70% of inner Toronto's population growth since 2006, is finally making headlines. "Echo boomers" (those of us born between 1972 and 1992) are much more likely to live in central, high-density neighbourhoods with access to good-quality transit. This trend is remarkable considering that one of the most persistent problems faced by planners today is the public's lack of acceptance of planning concepts such as higher densities to support transit provision. In an article for the Globe and Mail, Doug Sanders explored Vancouverism, a Canadian-born model of livable density ("The world wants Vancouverism. Shouldn't Canada?" February 23, 2013) While planners from Melbourne to Dubai are adopting the principles Vancouver has espoused for 30 years, Canadian cities still lag behind supporting higher-density living. How can planners influence public perceptions of density?
Perhaps there are lessons to be learned from echo boomers, whose trends and patterns have been ignored for far too long in favour of their richer, suburbanite parents. Access to transit and proximity to work are the main reasons people in our demographic choose to live downtown, which is practical considering we're much more likely to change careers than the previous generation, requiring more commuting flexibility. A recent report from TD Economics (Toronto: A Return to the Core) showed that key neighbourhoods in inner Toronto, such as Trinity-Spadina, grew by 16% from 2006-2011, supporting key real estate trends like a boom in condo development. Employment growth in Toronto's inner city outpaced suburban job growth during the same time period.
Planners around the world have also been developing better ways to dialogue with community members about density. One strategy that worked in Perth, Australia, is conducting a comprehensive series of discussions with a range of people. 'Dialogue with the City', an innovative and extensive deliberative forum with citizens, communities, industry and practitioners, was launched in 2003 to discuss and deliberate how to make Perth 'the world's most livable city by 2030'. The year of dialogue and discussion, funded in partnership with the Government of Western Australia, Western Australia Planning Commission, and private partners, seems to have contributed to a shift in perception among planners, politicians and the public over time. The Network City strategy is being used to implement the outcomes of Dialogue with the City and 42% of the participants said they changed their views as a result of the dialogue. Vancouver's Greenest City dialogues have taken a similar approach.
Residents' perceptions can change during the trajectory of specific projects. Planners at TransLink, Vancouver's regional transportation authority, found that when they conducted public meetings on the proposed Broadway-UBC LRT line in 2011, local residents were quite upset about the idea of increased density along Broadway during the first round of meetings. It didn't help that many of the businesses along Cambie Street had experienced financial setbacks during construction of the Canada Line LRT just a couple of years earlier. But by the time the second round of meetings happened, residents had become more supportive of the idea. In Vancouver and other cities with persistent housing affordability problems, another key to acceptance of density has to be the development and use of tools to protect affordability, such as community bargaining agreements and condominium conversion regulations.
Planners can learn from key demographic groups (echo boomers, recent immigrants, students, single-person households and seniors) who tend to choose more centrally-located, transit-accessible neighbourhoods. The old logic that these groups choose transit because "they can't afford to drive" doesn't necessarily hold true in the era of urban sustainability and hipster neighbourhoods. And planners can continue to develop processes that engage communities in discussions about what density really means–but this means providing information on building types and density levels that will support public transit, services, and employment, not just collecting opinions. Today's online tools allow a broader range of community members to participate and have their voices heard than traditional public meetings, and don't suffer from the same time/place constraints. They have the potential to allow early and ongoing discussion on polarizing topics such as density, long before plans and policies are formulated.

UCS want to avoid being stung at Wasps

Old Boys beat Actonians 27-18 at home last weekend
UCS Old Boys visit Wasps in Herts/Middlesex One on Saturday, keen to build on a first win in five league matches last weekend.
Old Boys eased to a 27-18 success at home to bottom-club Actonians last Saturday, ending a run of four straight defeats in the league.
Harry Greenhall, Chris Bean, Stefan Filip and Corne van Vuuren all scored tries in the win for UCS.
By scoring four tries, Old Boys were able to collect the maximum five points on offer last weekend.
It was a timely win for UCS as they collected a league win for the first time since beating Hendon on September 15.
The key for Old Boys now is to build on the win against Actonians by getting the better of Wasps on the road on Saturday.
With Wasps currently fourth in the table, though, UCS may face a battle to avoid being stung in the league this weekend.
But buoyed by the victory over Actonians, Old Boys will surely fancy their chances again this Saturday.
