Depot Series VRU
Quality and Flexibility to Fit Your Needs
The VRUs from the Depot SeriesTM utilise the same components and are engineered to the same high standard as those you have come to expect from all our VRUs. Only well-known and respected suppliers known to deliver high quality equipment are used. All our systems are constructed in accordance with internationally recognised standards and codes.
Although the Depot Series™ has been designed with truck loading terminals in mind, the continuous duty flows found in tank filling and smaller barge/ship loading operations can also be readily accommodated.
- Can be designed for a wide range of inlet concentrations.
- Complies with emissions from 35 g/Nm³ to 150 mg/Nm³
- Addition of a second stage ensures compliance with TA-luft demand of 50 mg/Nm3
VRUs manufactured for all climate conditions – from desert to arctic
The Best Pump on the Market
The Depot Series™ VRUs are all based on the use of rotary vane vacuum pumps. These vacuum pumps offer an extremely reliable and economical operation.
In Cool Sorption, we have been using rotary vane vacuum pumps in our vapour recovery system designs since 2002. During this time, we have found that this technology offers many advantages over the conventional liquid ring vacuum pump (LRVP) or screw pump designs. For more information on our choice of vacuum pump, please click here to read further about the advantages and disadvantages of different vacuum pump types.
Technical Specifications
The capacities in the table correspond to VRUs with inlet vapour concentration of 40 vol% and emission limits of 10 g/Nm3 (incl. methane) and 150 mg/Nm3 (excluding methane) respectively. Depending on local conditions and requirements, the data may vary. Please always consult our sales team to determine the appropriate VRU for your operations as parameters such as product loaded, HC concentration, type of absorbent and others will dictate the sizing of the unit.

From the Editor
Inside this issue: cutting-edge practices in the education business, what happens when companies move, the new megamarket, and the latest twist in Andrew Raskin's big adventure
This issue features the second in our series of Inc. case studies, which look at the cutting-edge business practices of some of the most interesting growth companies around. In " The ABCs of Profit," senior feature writer Edward O. Welles examines Nobel Learning Communities Inc., based in Media, Pa. It operates 162 schools for K-12 students in 15 states and -- unlike many such operations -- consistently manages not only to produce impressive academic results but to do so at a profit.
What's most interesting is the way the company accomplishes that trick. Nobel does nothing particularly radical or innovative from an educational standpoint. Rather, its success appears to be the direct result of the application of certain basic management techniques, including a relentless focus on three critical numbers: corporate G&A as a percentage of gross tuition, school-occupancy rate, and school personnel costs as a percentage of tuition.
Of course, there's a little more to it than that. Behind the numbers lies a business strategy developed by Jack Clegg, Nobel's chairman and driving force. Clegg is one of those people who have an extraordinary ability to take situations that most of us find hopelessly complex and to simplify them without oversimplifying them. With Nobel, he has formulated a strategy remarkable both for its clarity and for the ingenious way its various elements constantly work to reinforce one another.
Companies on the move
In reading " The Best Cities to Start and Grow a Business in Now," our annual report on America's hotbeds of entrepreneurial activity, I was struck by the dramatic change we're seeing in the way company founders handle the issue of location. It used to be that small growing companies didn't move. Granted, the business environment was always more hospitable for entrepreneurs in some locales than in others. Once a business got started, however, both the founder and the company tended to stay put.
Not anymore. These days a lot of young companies are moving. How many we can only guess, but it's clear that the five companies senior staff writer Emily Barker features in " Best Cities: The Location Advantage" are part of a trend. As David Birch, our longtime "Best Cities" partner and founder of the research company Cognetics, suggests, there's always been a tension between the business reasons and the personal reasons for choosing a particular company location. The new mobility indicates that the balance between the two is shifting.
Why? Judging by Barker's admittedly unscientific sample, it seems to me that entrepreneurs are increasingly reluctant to sacrifice their personal happiness for the sake of the business. Some of them are even willing to go so far as to consider splitting up their companies at an early stage of development. I find that intriguing, although I have to question how it will work out over time. Can a young company survive when key parts of it have no immediate day-to-day contact with the founder? We'll see.
Marketing to teens
As contributor David H. Freedman tells us this month in " What Do Teens Want?" we're all about to be swept under by the biggest demographic tidal wave in our history, namely, the arrival of Generation Y in the form of 25 million free-spending teenagers. All told, they represent a huge potential market -- provided you can figure out how to communicate with them.
Looking for advice on the subject, Freedman sought out two experts, Mark Hoppus and Tom DeLonge, the lead performers of a wildly successful pop-punk trio called Blink-182, as well as the brains behind a popular teenage Web site, Loserkids.com (which is well worth checking out, by the way). Once you hear what they have to say, you may find yourself thinking that the teenagers of today sound an awful lot like ... well, like you when you were their age.
And yet they really are different in some ways. For one thing, they're members of the first post-Internet generation, and they're used to getting what they want when they want it. They're also extremely skeptical of traditional marketing, which isn't surprising when you consider that they've been marketed to pretty much incessantly from birth.
As Freedman shows, that skepticism poses interesting challenges for companies that are trying to sell to teenagers today. I can't help wondering what will happen if they turn out to be equally resistant to marketing when they grow up.
Our man Raskin
There's good news and bad news for fans of our E-Diaries column. The bad news is that our columnist Andrew Raskin is no longer an active participant in the company that he cofounded and has been writing about in these pages for the past year. The good news is that he'll continue to share his experiences with us as he searches for the next big thing.
More than that, I can't tell you without giving away too much of the story Raskin tells in this month's edition of E-Diaries. But do yourself a favor: go to it right now and read it.

Ireland's National Gemstone – See our Connemara Marble Collection
Often called Ireland's national gemstone it is a rare form of marble found in the region which is typically green-ish in colour. Said to be one of the rarest forms of marble in the world due to its limited supply and dates back over 600 million years. The marble itself is formed when limestone is heated under pressure. While the colour is predominately green there are often shades of grey and brown seen throughout. It dates back to the Precambrian era.
It has been used for centuries in jewellery making, as a means of exchange, for fixtures in stately buildings both at home and abroad, it is the traditional gift between families who vow friendship through generations.
This stone helps you to feel more in control. A good stone for those wishing to heighten their psychic abilities. Used in treating diabetes and hypoglycemia. Increases the absorption of calcium and magnesium. Connemara marble is beautiful, light green marble that is unique to Connemara in the West of Ireland.

18 Hyde Road Woodley Stockport SK6 1QG
I passed by for years on bike and bus, never stopping for a pint but intrigued by the distinctive Sixties architecture, an exciting adjunct to the adjacent Woodley Precinct.
The physical embodiment of the post war brick and concrete optimism which permeates the post-war period. When full employment in a plethora of manual trades ensured a steady flow of post work-customers, expecting a steady flow of Robinson's draught beers.
Then one day I passed by bike and you were shuttered up, sat silently on Hyde Road, the windows of your soul staring blankly at the passing parade.
When I pass by all the people say, just another pub on the lost highway.

PremierEquityReports.com: When is it Safe to Invest in Real Estate? These 4 Companies Hold the Answer
13 Dec, 2012, 14:00 GMT
NEW YORK, December 13, 2012 /PRNewswire/ --
NOTE TO EDITORS: The Following Is a Research Report Being Issued by Equities Awareness Group LLC
PremierEquityReports.com, the U.S. leader in equity reports, offers quality reports to investors looking for the most undervalued companies in the market and today issues a report on LIG Assets, Inc., Marriot International, Inc., Red Lion Hotels Corp. , and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
What was once a sure thing is now no more. The same strategy that was once responsible for building the majority of a generation's wealth is the same strategy responsible for seeing families' median net worth plummet 40% between 2007 and 2010. After such a painful hit, how will investors ever feel safe investing in real estate again? When is the right time to get involved?
This is where the average investor is misled. The question people should be asking is not when, but rather how. The days of flipping residential properties for a quick buck are long gone. The answer that real estate investors seek can be found in LIG Assets, Inc., Marriot International, Inc., Red Lion Hotels Corp., and Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc.
The price of residential properties is not going to skyrocket like they did in 2007 probably for the rest of your lifetime; that bubble has burst. The profit margin per property just isn't there anymore. However, the profit generated from hundreds of properties held under one enterprise could provide investors with gains similar to 2006 and 2007. The problem is only investors like Donald Trump have the capital to invest in hundreds of properties. The answer for people like us: an equity stake in LIG Assets.
LIG Assets (PINKSHEETS: LIGA) is a provider of funding and financing for early-stage, high-growth businesses and real estate projects. LIG Assets focuses primarily on income-producing properties in commercial and residential real estate, whose cash flow and operating leverage contribute to the overall value of the entire LIG Assets enterprise.
Properties currently generating cash flow for LIG Assets include nearly 300 residential properties throughout Texas, a storage center, and SuiteMagic (SM), a technology entertainment services company that offers an all-in one entertainment system for hotels. Projects under construction include a garden-style apartment complex and an assisted living center. LIG Assets allows investors the opportunity to own a piece of several different real estate investments. Not to mention the potential behind SuiteMagic considering the explosion of the hotel sector over the last few years. LIG's diverse portfolio helps to mitigate risk while offering several different revenue channels.
Click here to read the full press release by LIG Assets regarding SuiteMagic. http://finance.yahoo.com/news/lig-assets-subsidiary-suitemagic-closes-221200567.html
On October 4, 2012, LIG Assets announced a share buyback program with purchases to be made out of ongoing positive cash flow from operations. Under the program, LIG may acquire up to 20,000,000 shares at prices up to $0.10 per share over the next 180 days. LIG has gained 150% from its October 2012 low so far. Still, a move to $0.10 would offer investors a 285% gain from the current price. Considering that LIG Assets has a stable book value above $0.10 a share, this company certainly deserves a look from serious real estate investors.
The portfolio diversity of LIG Assets can also be seen in Marriott International, Inc. (NYSE: MAR). Marriott operates, franchises, and licenses hotels and corporate housing properties worldwide. Marriott is also now licensing the development, operation, marketing, and sales of vacation ownership properties. Marriott has nearly 3,800 lodging properties under 17 different brands. You can get a closer look at Marriott as the Company will be featured on CNBC on December 12 at 9pm EST in "Hotel: Behind Closed Doors." Marriott has gained 253% since the market bottomed in October of 2009; compared to 113% in the S&P 500.
Red Lion Hotels Corp. (NYSE: RLH) is another lodging company with 48 properties in 9 states and a Canadian province. Red Lion has gained 346% from its October 2009 low and received a four out of five star rating from analyst David Loeb of Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc. Red Lion has recently opened a new hotel in Kent, Washington, just twenty miles south of Seattle.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. (NYSE: HOT) is another lodging and leisure company operating hotels, resorts, retreats, and residences. Starwood has gained 584% since its October low in 2009. Starwood also recently introduced a new mobile application for the Android platform to deliver a personalized experience for members across their nine brands.
The common characteristic that these four companies share is a diverse outlook on the new look of the real estate industry. Marriott , Red Lion , and Starwood have proven that a diverse reach and new focus on lodging in addition to residential could provide early investors with substantial gains; gains that well outperform the S&P 500. LIG Assets could be a less expensive alternative to that same form of real estate investment.
LIG Assets is yet to explode into a worldwide powerhouse like Starwood. Yet, they share similar strategies. Is LIG Assets an undiscovered real estate gem? Begin researching LIG Assets as well as Marriott, Red Lion, and Starwood right away. The successful, newfound strategy that is diverse portfolios may just become the future of real estate investing.

Kareem Kelly
Wide Receiver, University of Southern California
6'0", 183 pounds, 4.35/40
Two Hundred Second Pick Overall, Sixth Round
Speedy wide receiver Kareem Kelly arrives in New Orleans as the antithesis of his 4.35 speed leaves for Seattle. DT Norman Hand was traded to Seattle for the 6th round pick the Saints did not have to take Kelly.
Kelly is a lean, angular receiver with tremendous physical ability and athleticism despite weighing in far less than 200 pounds. An extremely fast deep threat with acrobatic skills and great hands. Lifted 225 pounds 15 times at the combine, impressive for a receiver with such lean stature.
A three-year starter for USC, Kelly is a major steal in the sixth round, as some scout NOPF spoke to expected him on the first day. A clear weapon on special teams as a kick return, Kelly is used to being a major weapon in the offense but is not a well-refined receiver. While he has an outstanding 39" vertical jump and explosive burst to top speed, he doesn't run as crisp routes as you would expect from such a long-time starter.
Concentration and work ethic have been concerns for Kelly. Also is not much of a contributor as a blocker in the running game, although he has in the past. His senior year was statistically his worst year of four at USC, but still managed 46 games for 605 yards and four touchdowns. Had 796 and 801 yards in his sophomore and junior years, respectively, even though as a senior he was catching passes from Heisman Trophy winner and first overall pick QB Carson Palmer.
"Skinny guy who can fly. Has experience, but it hasn't done much for him. In the sixth round he's an absolute. Unless he works himself into another doghouse by screwing around in the workout room, he should easily be the fourth receiver."
"Poor man's Donte Stallworth. Track guy. One of the best collegiate receivers in USC history. Development guy. Needs to know how to run a route. His speed on the turf is really going to be a deep threat."
"Kelly would be deep threat... possible #4 in the long run... inconsistent hands... vertical receiver... okay, but not great routes..."

Read the following case study on a hypothetical manufacturer and their product development activities. Review their new product development process. Identify what they appeared to do well, and identify potential improvement areas for the future.
Company Background
West-White is a manufacturer of white-goods (e.g. washers, refrigerators) and various other household appliances. They were established in 1962 in Perth, Western Australia – hence their company name West (for Western Australia) and White (for white-goods). Last year their sales revenues were $150 million, with a pre-tax profit of $7 million. They have around 250 employees, and would be considered a medium-sized business.
They are faced with an increasing competitive threat from larger firms, who have far lower manufacturing costs (as their competitors manufacture their products overseas, whereas West-White still manufactures in Perth). Fortunately, West-White had developed strong relationships, over many years, with a number of retail chains. And it has been this strength that has helped to maintain sales.
Marketing Meeting – August 2005
This case focuses upon a new product development (nicknamed "The Moat"), which started its life in marketing meeting in August 2005. The following is an excerpt of that meeting's discussion.
OK team, yesterday I met with the CEO and the news is not good. To put it bluntly, he is not happy with the firm's overall level of profitability.
He's not happy with a mere $7 million profit per year?
Well, he believes that we need to build our profits in order to be in a stronger financial position for the competitive challenges that lay ahead. Therefore, we (that is, Marketing) have three years to increase annual profits to $10 million.
And how does he suggest we do that?
He said it was up to us in marketing to "make it happen". So as I see it, we need a three-pronged approach. First, we increase our sales representatives by 10% – this should help get even greater support from our retailers, and may be even get a few new ones Second, we need to hit a new market, probably the hotel/motel industry – some of our existing products should appeal to that market quite nicely. And third, we need to develop several new products, it's been sometime since we've added to our product range – and I believe we need to be seen as the "innovators" again, like the firm used to be in the 1960's and 70's.
Can I just ask, is this your plan or are they the CEO's ideas?
It's my plan, like I said, his words were "It's up to you how – just make it happen!"
So what new products did you have in mind?
I've been talking to Angelina in R+D. They have picked up on a trend that's getting big in Europe. Basically there has been a growing market for "two appliances in one". For example, combined washing machines and dryers (which are the size of a normal washing machine) are now selling well.
That type of product would be good in the big cities where housing costs are "forcing" people into smaller accommodation. A lot of people live alone in one-bedroom apartments these days – it's a fast growing market.
Exactly. Therefore, the product that R+D think that they can develop quickly is a combined Microwave Oven And Toaster, which they call "The Moat".
To be honest, my initial reaction is that it sounds a little bit silly. Who would want a product like that? May be we should look for some better product ideas?
Firstly, let's forget initial reactions, let's do things right. Therefore, I want you to organize a quick concept test to check out likely demand. And second, remember we're in a race to increase profits, so we don't have time to look around for better concepts – we have to make things happen right now!
Tom, but don't you think that we should have a closer look at the product idea before we start spending money on a concept test?
No, time is of the essence. We need to move quickly and get some market reaction. That's the only thing we don't know. Our R+D people think that it's pretty straightforward technically. In terms of marketing, we can simply utilise our supportive retailers. So it all looks good – the only unknown is likely sales so we can work out the financials. That's why we need a concept test and fast!
Concept Test Results – October 2005
The marketing team decided that the best way to conduct the concept test was to conduct a series of focus groups. Four different groups were conducted. The groups varied by age and gender (that is younger males, older males, younger females, and older females). The broad results were as follows:
- All groups agreed that the product was an innovative idea,
- All groups indicated that they regularly used their microwaves and their toasters,
- Younger males indicated that they would definitely buy this product,
- Other groups indicated that they may buy this product, and
- Product concerns were lack of portability, ability to clean, and overall look.
As a result of these outcomes, and despite strong doubts from Brad and Katie, Tom decided to 'green light' this product and move to the development stage (due to the strength of interest from a potential target market – younger males).
Fast Development
As R+D suggested, they were able to prepare a prototype of the Moat fairly quickly. The next step was the setting up of the manufacturing line. This was initially scheduled for two months, but ended up taking five months to complete.
While production capacity was being established, Tom's marketing team started preparing the promotional materials for their sales representatives, as well as significant POP materials and various trade offers. This is because they had decided that the best approach was via trade promotion. (Note: They were generally "push" marketers anyway, and had not done a lot of consumer promotion in the past.)
The "Unlucky" Launch
Almost in record time, the Moat hit the market in May 2006. However, sales to-date have been very poor, with less than 50 units sold in total across all their retailers. Even some of their 'non-core' retailers have already informed West-White that they no longer wish to stock the product. These retailers suggested that:
- The 'look' of the product is unattractive,
- It does not have the 'convenience' of having the two products (that is, microwave and toaster) as separate appliances, and
- They also state that most consumers usually come into their stores to buy either a toaster OR a microwave (either for themselves or as a gift), and that very few people are looking to buy both at the one time.
Regardless of the initial results, Tom remains optimistic for the product's long-term success. According to Tom, "It's simply a product ahead of its time – you've got to think of the product diffusion curve – it's a new-to-the-world product that will take a while to be adopted. In the future it will become a very big seller. And besides, we were very unlucky that its launch coincided with a major national campaign by Samsung for their range of household appliances. We don't have the promotional dollars to match a large competitor like that."
At the moment, Tom's team is working on a plan to target the Moat more directly at innovators and early adopters (in order to increase its speed of adoption). "We simply have to get some reasonable initial sales, and then word-of-mouth promotion will do the rest", said Tom.
- List the broad steps that they undertook in their new product process.
- Which parts of the process did they do well?
- Which parts of the process do they need to improve?
- Other than considering their product development activities, what other strategic advice do you have for them?

While out watering my garden the other evening, I was STRUCK by how handsome this Lawson's blue cypress is in particular at this time of the year when paired with the summer pink blooms on my 'Quickfire' Hydrangeas that snuggle closely to it right at my back gate. This bold blue color has SO much personality!
That's not to say that I haven't written about this combo at other times of the year too, such as in fall when the hydrangea foliage has a lovely golden glow against the blue, or in spring when the hydrangea blooms are creamy white and pristine. It's just that right now- that pink and blue combo is dee-lightfully summery and more feminine than I typically favor. If you saw the BOLD orange container combo directly in front of this scene, you would know that I'm typically not someone who does "dainty". 🙂
This got me thinking about other blue foliage that may not necessarily always be large in stature but are sure filled with BIG personality. So off we go exploring a few…..
Honey Bush or Melianthus major is a tropical with a ton of BIG personality all right! Whether it's an annual or a reliable perennial where you live, brush by it and you won't forget its Peanut Butter scent. If it reaches its full-sized potential of 6-8 ft tall and wide or even wider then it's REALLY happy, and you will be rewarded with deep red flower spikes. The foliage looks as if someone cut it with fancy edged scissors and it looks just as beautiful when droplets of water or dew balance on the leaves like few other plants.
Blue Chalk Fingers or Serpents Fingers Senecio vitalis 'Serpents', talk about a name for a small plant with BIG personality! If you love succulents, whether this one is an annual or a year round evergreen for you, this is one that you need to play with at some point in your gardening life. THAT blue is just so, well….BLUE!!!
I just want you to imagine this scene above without that showy ribbon of BLUE Dianthus foliage running through the middle of this display. See? The blue makes the violet shades even MORE violet!
Not to be outdone on any level, the sheer size and voluptuous nature of this giant hosta 'Blue Angel' is a sheer spectacle of blue foliage with BIG personality all right! This photo really does not do justice to show the scale and size of these giant leaves at roughly 12″ across. A heavy bloomer, hummingbird favorite and less favorable to slugs, this easy perennial pairs well with all kind of flowers and shrubs. Wink wink, nudge nudge….look for this one to appear in Gardening with Foliage First due out in 2017!

The Moral of the Story: Don't Fuck with the DU Lounge
Olive Garden, Red Lobster See Sharp Drop In Profits After Anti-Obamacare Campaign Backfires
By Rebecca Leber on Dec 20, 2012 at 10:46 am
Ever since Darden Restaurants the owner of the Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains first announced its anti-Obamacare campaign (i.e. fucked with the DU Lounge), the company has had a tough couple of months. Darden admitted as much when it revised its predictions for latest quarterly earnings down in December, attributing the drop to recent negative media coverage on Darden { } and how we might accommodate healthcare reform.
The negative press (and a pissed-off DU Lounge) led the company to reverse course on its threat to shift employees to part-time status to avoid covering them under Obamacare. The latest report on Dardens earnings prove that was a good move, since the restaurants did take a turn for the worse as a result of their bad publicity. Its net income fell 37 percent:
The decline in traffic comes despite the companys efforts to revamp the menus and marketing for its flagship chains. At Olive Garden, the company rolled out an updated advertising campaign and introduced more light and affordable dishes. At Red Lobster, it added options for people who dont like seafood (and breastfeeding in public).
But the company said revenue at U.S. restaurants open at least a year fell 2.7 percent for its three biggest chains during the quarter; it fell 3.2 percent at Olive Garden, 2.7 percent at Red Lobster and 0.8 percent at LongHorn Steakhouse. The figure is a key metric because it strips out the impact of newly opened and closed locations (close to pissed-off DU Lounge Lizards.)
Olive Garden and Red Lobster are not the only chains attempting to make their employees pay more instead of offering them basic health care. Dennys and Papa Johns (both of which have also pissed-off DU Lounge Lizards) have also warned they may cut back hours to avoid the provision in the health care law that requires firms with 50 or more full-time workers to offer health benefits. In reality, the costs of Obamacare are overstated, as it only imposes a small increase in health care spending for larger firms, while actually reducing it for smaller employers.
(There hasn't been any official word issued yet from the DU Lounge, but there have been reports of mass snickering and gloating nationwide.)

The art in this strip may look weird. I'm using a different version of the ol' shop now. Getting stuff to work properly took longer because I'm stupid.
So, if it looks bad, blame Carter. Through faulty logic, it's totally his fault... y logic. Look, I'm posting this at 4am. Give me a break.
Go do some cocaine. That is the lesson everyone should take away from this.

Like the BMW M8 Coupé, the BMW 850i Convertible is clearly one of the BMW studies that never found its way onto the public highways. Developed as a competitor model for the new Mercedes-Benz SL R129 model series, which was also introduced at the 1989 International Car Show, this wonderful and unique BMW convertible unfortunately never made it to series production. Just 3 prototypes of the so-called BMW 850i based on the E31 model series were ever built and subjected to a comprehensive series of test drives before it was decided in Munich to stop the 850Ci convertible project because of fear that it would be a financial flop. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary BMW 850i to a scale of 1:18 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
Warning! Not suitable for children under 14 years.

♪It's the most wonderful time of the year. ♫
Ok, maybe not the most wonderful time, since Christmas is pretty great… but IMATS time is up there too.
IMATS is the International Makeup Artist Trade Show, and comes to Toronto every November! It is a two-day trade show featuring exhibitors, speakers and vendors. The IMATS site describes the event as the make-up world's biggest gathering. Thousands of make-up artists, vendors and enthusiasts discuss, display and collect the best the industry has to offer. Make-up pros from fashion and film (including Oscar, BAFTA and Saturn award winners) provide education and demonstrations at IMATS, and new products often debut there. IMATS also features a make-up museum and an Afterglow party, where trade-show guests can socialize.
The show is held six times a year: Toronto, Los Angeles, New York, Vancouver, Sydney and London. The best part about IMATS? Well, it's open to the public so no offical memberships or credentials are required! The 2013 Toronto show took place on November 9-10. Tickets are fifty dollars for one day, or eighty for both days. But, you can do what we did and save up to $20 by purchasing early bird tickets.
Last year was Chris' first IMATS. You can read all about our 2012 experience here. We returned to IMATS this year with our amazing TNL supporting friends and had a fantastic day! We both said that we weren't looking to get too much this year since we already have quite a bit of makeup and didn't think we needed anything more. Plus there is so much to see and do at IMATS. So, how did we do? Continue reading to find out.
IMATS opens its doors at 8:30 am on the Saturday, and we have learned from past years that it is best to get there right as it opens, especially if you want to get anything at all from either Makeup Forever or MAC. These are by far the show's most popular booths; Makeup Forever offers a whopping 40% discount off regular prices, while MAC offers 20% off. If you dont get there early, you can easily spend a couple of hours waiting in line at these booths.
We made a beeline to MAC when we got inside where Chris ran into Elle, an incredibly talented makeup artist by whom she has had the pleasure of getting her makeup done many times in the past. It was exciting to make the connection, especially since we got immediate service and Elle offered her honest and expert opinion when we bombarded her with questions.
Talk about overwhelming. There were so many booths with great products. We didn't know where to start.
Interesting vendors included a former makeup artist from Dancing with the Stars who has delevoped a line of body Gleam products (we asked if Cheryl Burke has hairy arms. The answer is no.), the always amazing Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics with their Lip Tars and Face Atelier that can be super hard to get your hands on in Canada.
We also stopped by (and some even indulged in) The Lip Bar, Eye Kandy Cosmetics, Heidi D Cosmetics, Velour Lashes and Blur Makeup Room.
Other than the awesome vendors, another amazing part of IMATS is all the incredible talent that is showcased. Our jaws literally dropped at some of the work being done at the show. There was everything from runway to theatrical makeup and we were only too happy to watch some masterpieces come to life. It is also an incredible opportunity to get advice, tips and tricks from industry professionals.
A student competition also takes place at IMATS. The competition is open to students of a recognized make-up school and to those who have graduated 12 months prior to the competition date. Students have two hours to create a makeup look incorporating a chosen theme. This year, the theme was the elements. Looks had to be inspired by—but not limited to—the four forces of nature: earth, wind, fire and water. So cool to have the opportunity to watch these looks come together!
There is also an impressive lineup of speakers and panel discussions at IMATS. This year, the keynote speakers included Jordan Samuel, who recently served as make-up department head for the 2013 remake of Carrie, Australian makeup artist and author Rae Morris and five time Emmy award winning artist Eve Pearl. So cool, right?
But what we REALLY geeked out about was meeting one of our favourite YouTubers, Sokolum! She is absolutely gorgeous and her incredible makeup had us gawking all day! On top of that, she was incredibly sweet. Chris was also thrilled to meet her IG friend and YouTuber Crystal DivaLevy. Be sure to check out their channels!
So, now for our little hauls. We are happy to report that we didn't break the bank, and limited ourselves to products we really needed (ok, sort of). We thought that this pic was hilarious because it really illustrates our taste. These are our nail polish picks. Chris is all about the bright colours, while Ash is…not. Ha!
Here's what else we picked up:
Ash's IMATS 2013 haul:
Embryolisse (2 full size, 1 travel size)
MAC eyeshadow in Expensive Pink
Makeup Atelier foundation in shade #7
Mac Prep+Prime highlighter in Light Boost
Mac lipstick in Rebel
Essie nail polishes in Rock the Croc, Bikeride, True Love, Below the Belt, Rags to Riches, Da Bush
Chris' IMATS 2013 haul:
Embryolisse (2 full size, 1 travel size)
Makeup Atelier foundation in shade #11
Ben Nye Banana Powder (mini bottle, 1.5g)
MAC Mineralize SkinFinish Natural in Give Me Sun!
MAC Lipsticks Rebel and Girl about Town
MAC Prep+Prime highlighter in Bright Forecast
OCC Liptars in Rx and Black Dahlia
China Glaze nail polishes in Celtic Sun (neon yellow), In the Limelight (Neon green), 108 Degrees (pink) and Senorita Bonita (purple).
We had an amazing time at IMATS and can hardly wait for next year. Many thanks to our incredible friends Sephora, Vann-Ly and Suzanne for helping us spread the word about The Neon Leopard!

Ge deposited on Si(100) initially forms heteroepitaxial layers, which grow to a critical thickness of ~3 MLs before the appearance of three-dimensional strain relieving structures. Experimental observations reveal that the surface structure of this Ge wetting layer is a dimer vacancy line (DVL) superstructure of the unstrained Ge(100) dimer reconstruction. In the following, the results of first-principles calculations of the thickness dependence of the wetting layer surface excess energy for the c(4×2) and 4×6 DVL surface reconstructions are reported. These results predict a wetting layer critical thickness of ~3 MLs, which is largely unaffected by the presence of dimer vacancy lines. The 4×6 DVL reconstruction is found to be thermodynamically stable with respect to the c(4×2) structure for wetting layers at least 2 ML thick. A strong correlation between the fraction of total surface induced deformation present in the substrate and the thickness dependence of wetting layer surface energy is also shown.

All Dogs Resource Guard: Part 3, Owner Guarding
All dogs resource guard if we find something they designate as a resource. Dogs will protect their resources, it is a natural behavior. To better understand this please read parts 1 and 2 of this blog:
For this part 3 we will discuss specifically dogs who resource guard their owners. This can be very challenging because it manifests in many ways. Perhaps your dog becomes upset or aggressive when another dog comes towards you in the dog run, and this has kept you from going to to dog run all together. Maybe your dog barks and makes a big fuss when anything he perceives as a threat comes near you. This could be disruptive in your neighborhood and cause you to become an outcast. Whatever the specifics are, you can handle this in similar ways.
First it is best to have another person who can help with the training, or a Treat & Train. This person should be someone the dog is familiar and comfortable with who has plenty of high value treats available. If you are using a Treat & Train then be sure the dog is tethered, with enough room that there is slack in the leash, and the dog is conditioned to understand the Treat & Train and has used it prior to this training session.
Next you want to have one or both of the of the owners, seated about 5 to 10 feet away from the dog. The last piece of this equation is a helper dog, one who doesn't mind if he is barked at or lunged at, but pretty much just keeps on going about his business. Have the helper dog begin to approach the seated owner, the resource, and as soon as the helper dog begins approaching, the Treat & Train, or the person handling the dog, will begin feeding high value treats. Next the helper dog will retreat away from the owner, and the treats will stop to the working dog, showing that when dogs approach his owner he receives treats while when they move away from his owner, the treats stop. This will help to build a positive association with other dogs approaching his owner.
You will want to continue this process until the dog sees the helper dog approach and immediately looks to the Treat & Train or the other person for the treats. This response will show that the dog is understanding the association between the approach of other dogs and the reward of high value treats. This is counter conditioning at work, before the high value rewards the dog viewed people approaching his owner as a bad thing, now he views it as a time that he gets good treats, and good things happen to him!
If your dog barks when he perceives a threat coming near his owner or resource it can sometimes be helpful to try some abandonment training. We will of course only do this to the lowest extent that we would need to, but if your dog barks when a car, stroller or other perceived threat approaches, then this may be the best way to handle this. Work with a professional, and have her holding your dog on a long leash. Then walk your dog on your normal leash with them following behind. As soon as your dog begins to react, drop the leash and walk in the opposite direction as him. If he calms quickly and stops barking and reacting, then you can rejoin him and pick up your leash and continue your walk. As I always say, there is no reason to stay mad at your dog, as soon as they have moved onto good behavior, forgive them, and move on too! (perhaps this is good advice for other relationships…)
The other good way to deal with this, if your neighbors can deal with it, is simply to ignore your dog if he begins barking at his triggers, wait for him to stop, and praise and reward him when he does. Dogs repeat their successes so ignore the bad, and reward and reinforce the good. This can also be good to do using a clicker. For more on clicker training check out my blog: https://pawsibilitiesny.com/blog/obedience-training-a-tricks/7-what-is-clicker-training.html
You want to change your dog's mind about other dogs', or things, approaching you, because your dog views you as a resource, and these triggers as a threat to his resource. This is not uncommon, and perhaps you even don't think it is such a big deal, but again resource guarding of any kind is an anxiety based reflex, so if we can cure our dogs of anxieties, why wouldn't we? Work slowly with the above methods until your dog views the approach of another dog towards you as good thing. As soon as he is turning to the person or Treat & Train to say: "I know that dog's approach means that I am going to get something good!" We have begun to change his mind and make him realize that what he once resource guarded, is something well worth sharing!
One comment on "All Dogs Resource Guard: Part 3, Owner Guarding"
Great approach, and simple to understand! So many training methods are not based on what the dog is feeling, and their natural reactions – but that's so important to changing the underlying reason for the dog's behavior, rather than suppressing it.

Study Education In The US
Program benefit individuals that are studying administration.
Program benefit individuals that are studying administration.
The details of producing a training course operate specifically on management? Everbody knows, managing is not only a scientific self-control but the useful administration pursuits.
Consequently, the task of the student operational management is not only to analyze and outline of certain problems, but also the need to give particular options of problems in the introduction of steps to further improve the operations of your organization or business.
Put simply, a student should not simply present the "uncovered" hypothesis from the course operate, but anticipate to give solutions to modify the circumstance for much better at the very least for somewhat.custom-writing
Regarding idea, pupil should use books and magazines of overseas creators. No matter we like it or not, but the idea of "control" showed up actually in the us. There it got the greatest growth. One of the most prestigious theoreticians of the self-discipline – Peter Drucker. He or she is the author of countless books on management. Probably the most common of his guide is "Encyclopedia of managing". This book can be considered necessary for reading. Each and every college student will find a number of components and tips to perform as training, as well as a thesis job also.
Whether the student need to do sensible advice from the training course job?
As for functional proposals to enhance the operations of your business, this is a little set of activities which you can use within the course function:
- Putting on TQM program inside the firm. Full Good quality Managing – global top quality management. The key with this product is to boost the grade of goods, and is extremely important to revenue growth through the purchase of goods.
- Establishing education courses for experts of your business. Forex trading is just not an easy task as it could seem at first glance. In this article you require understanding not merely regarding the product or service, maker, components. The vendor must be a bit psychologist, somewhat designer, a bit of a diplomat. The seller will be able to smooth out a discord circumstance and how to respond to questions and objections of consumers. Employees instruction will not be affordable. Nevertheless in upcoming it profits having an additional revenue towards the organization.
- Studding relevant careers. A direct benefit from these kinds of campaigns can be followed without having issues. You do not should employ additional person. The existing employee will gladly take on some extra obligations for any little fee. Cost savings in wages provides a rise in profits.
- Brining in to production of new items. Expansion of the range, particularly with innovative items, offering a rise in total turn over and correspondingly internet income.
- Diversification of promoting. Irrespective of how very good is just one sort of promoting, but incorporated technique is preferable to promote of products. You should consider a marketing promotion, comprising of numerous different methods.
Ingenuity may be the main situation of successful Manager's job.
That is certainly just examples of recommendations. One may think, and provide various other actions for development in the business functioning. Try and process. This expertise can be really necessary to potential administrators in their useful work. But, to provide is one half the combat. The student have to justify his very own offer financially. That may be is also the project of a upcoming Manager.
And some much more advice on the sort of writing a term papers. Reports of the study course job are necessary submitted. Fixed by binder or perhaps folded away bedding is definitely not recognized from the teacher.
Term paper has to be authored by literary language. Prohibited to make use of slang, lingo, abbreviated terms, except for valid rules of spelling. The text is offered from a 3rd party. It is actually inappropriate to write down: "I did so the computations…". It's right to create: "In this function, estimations have been done…" Or: "this writer has done…".
Estimates must have hyperlinks to resources, established inside a statutory way.
The amount of program are employed in management is normally about 20-25 internet pages (12 typeface dimension, Periods New Roman or Arial).

"However complicated the operations of a machine may look," he said, "it soon becomes monotonous to a factory worker."
Orlowwanted to improvethe employee'sworking environment and raise the spirits of his dedicated workers.
He did this by building, year-by-year, what eventually became a world-class collection of large andcolourful contemporary artworks.
They were specifically chosen to be shown in the factories above the machinery,so providing inspiration and stimulation.
"Alexander Orlow came up with the sublime idea to place paintings by modern artists in the factories surrounded by the industrial process," said Dr Wim Beeren, one of the advisers to the collection.
"It demonstrated the great faith that Orlow had in the works of art to create a stimulating environment within the work process."
The sale takes place on March 8.

Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 5: 1
Peace, we all want it; yet, it seems to work at being elusive. Peace is so hard to catch up to, it runs ahead a stays just one turn in the street and a couple of steps beyond reach all of the time. Despite the desires that most of us possess, a state of peacefulness is hard to settle into. Even the idea of resting peacefully can be disturbing and unsettling in itself. Turmoil and agitation are such a regular part of our world that they often define normalcy for us, and their absence is the thing that troubles the spirit and that incites the feet to run toward change. Yes, we are strange creatures, we humans; for, we claim to want to know peace and to have it settled deep in our beings; yet, we do almost anything to overturn its presence when it does happen to invade the place that we live.
Perhaps the issue is more with the place where we are looking for that peace and with the nature of the thing that we think that we desire. The peace that God wants to provide for us is different than that which we often say we want. Our first priority is for calm, quiet, and a form of settledness of the spirit that can accept life as it is with trust in God's provision of an acceptable outcome. In itself, this is not a bad perspective, but it may not be the beginning place for the peace that God desires to see exist with us. The peace that God seeks to bring about in our lives starts at a higher place and has a purpose that transcends this world and our lives and that ventures forth into the eternal. The peace that comes through and by Christ comes about with no effort of ours and is a state of being that we either accept or fight against as it is conferred upon us by God.
All peace starts with Christ. There is no other way to commence understanding of it than by accepting Christ. He brings about healing and transformative change in our relationship with God, for Christ grants a new, redeemed relational status to each of us who surrender to Him. The war with God that exists from birth for each of us is settled by the blood of Christ's cross, and we are established as residents in the Kingdom of God from that moment forward. This is not just a treaty status that can be easily revoked or modified; rather, it is a permanent recasting of the entire relationship with God that is formed out of faith in Christ and that is devised by God to grant us unending direct access to Him. This is the peace that all people actually need in order to know the sort of peace of the spirit that we think that we desire. The ability to live life with the certainty of our eternal status and with a state of being calm even in the great storms that come our way is the result of the peace that exists between ourselves and God, and Christ alone brings this peace into our souls.

Owls are one of the first species of birds to pair and breed in the spring. This is because they can spot their prey more easily while the grass is short. It takes a lot of food to raise a family so it makes sense to breed when food is more easily available. Owls can be noisy at this time of year while establishing territories and finding a mate.
There is a barn owl which can be regularly seen at the bottom of Cold Harbour Lane. Owls are creatures of habit and can often be spotted in the same place at the same time each day.
The other morning Paul spotted a barn owl at Cold Harbour on a buddlea bush about 5 metres from his truck. It sat there and looked at him while he drove by and reversed back to have another look and then decided to fly off when he was fiddling with his phone to try and take a picture.

Be sure to keep reading after the interview so you can find out how to enter our AWESOME GIVEAWAY of a Lord of the Rings tote bag plus a Harry Potter journal.
Welcome, W. R. Gingell!
Noblebright is something I was writing before I had a name to give it. I love the idea that although the world may be dark, good and right can still triumph without being corrupted; the idea that you don't have to be evil to overcome evil. So I'm thankful to C.J. Brightley, who coined the term and gave me a name to call the feeling.
In general, I portray those ideals in my main characters as well as the worlds they live in. I love to write (and read or watch) characters who do the right thing under impossible circumstances, or those who come to a right way of doing things through their journey. I love to see and write beautifully moral actions being lauded instead of laughed at.
In Wolfskin in particular, I played with the themes of redemption, new life/new chances, and faith. Honestly, I don't usually set out to draw out themes; it just sometimes happens as a result of my outlook on life and the way I see the world.
Which is your favourite book in the Luminous collection; and why?
Too hard! (Though I read Intisar Khanani's Sunbolt before any of the others here, so I have fond feelings for it—plus it's a fantastic book). Also, I haven't finished reading quite all the books yet. So I'm going to tell you which one I'm most looking forward to reading: Lea Doue's The Firethorn Crown. It's next up on my list once I finish the literary masterpiece I'm at present reading…er, well, the latest Pearls Before Swine Gallery, anyway…
How do you like to write? Longhand (shorthand?), typewriter, computer, blood, nail scratches on the walls?
I use a mix of computer and longhand to write. When I first began writing, it was all longhand because my family didn't have a computer. We got one when I was 12 or so, as far as I remember. It was very exciting (and heartbreaking—there's nothing worse than losing 60 pages of draft to a faulty floppy…). After that—or, strictly speaking, after mum forced me to learn how to touch type—I almost always wrote via computer.
Until I got my tiny, portable computer, I still wrote longhand during my lunch breaks (and guys, if you want to be a writer, there's actually gonna be a LOT of years where you're feverishly writing during lunch breaks at the day job) but once I had that tiny computer…
Nowadays I only write longhand if I simply CAN'T figure out what is supposed to be happening, or if I need to outline—which, as a pantser, I rarely do.
Are you a speed writer, or a turtle writer?
That depends on the book. Some were written really fast (Lady of Dreams) and some seemed to take forever (cough Blackfoot cough).
What is your favourite re-read book for a rainy afternoon?
I always come back to Pride and Prejudice. I guess I'm one of those readers. I've read it at least 20 times as far as I can remember, and I always enjoy it anew when I read it again. About once or twice a year I get the yen to read it again.
Tea or coffee?
Tea, or chai latte. Coffee doesn't exist in my paradigm…
Music or no music?
I'm firmly in the 'music while writing' camp. I forget who it was that mentioned it to me, but there's a thing that basically equates to training your brain. You listen to the same playlist/cd/series of cds when you write—and ONLY when you write. The idea is that when you hear that music (after a couple weeks), your brain will automatically kickstart into writing.
And let me tell you: it works. Having said that, the playlists I use, I don't keep ONLY for writing. That decreases the effectiveness a bit, but I love these playlists, and they're really useful to me, still.
On any given day, I will be listening to Lindsey Stirling, B.A.P., Hans Zimmer, CNBLUE, B.T.S., Ramin Djawardi, Day6, or any mix thereof. Some days you want epic soundtrack music with trumpets galore and booming drums. Some times you just gotta bop along to kpop…

Its important for every cyber forensic process to know what are our operational investigation requirements. When conducting an investigation, it's important that specific guidelines and procedures are followed. We need good communication channel to communicate and respond to concerned and involved teams, in accordance with applicable laws and standards. We have to think about the investigation's mandate; what's the overall purpose, because we need to make sure that our forensic activities stay within the scope of that investigation. Sometimes, we need to engage the expertise of other specialists for forensic and interviewing, and security. On the legal side, sometimes it can be a little bit difficult. For example, with cloud data, we might have one user accessing that data in one country, but the data might be stored on cloud provider servers that are in another country, physically. So how do we deal with that; because, where a warrant might be easily obtained in one country, it might not be so easy in others. Even if we can get a warrant in another country, we need to make sure that that warrant is executed, and that can be hard to enforce overseas, sometimes. The lead investigator is responsible for assembling the team of professionals that are required for a specific investigation. Whether that investigation relates to a financial crime, computer forensics, some combination thereof, and so on.
Operational Investigation Requirements.
"The procedures which are required in an investigation govern the communication, response, and mandate of that investigation or team of investigators."
"Different investigations have different requirements. An investigation might require expertise from forensic specialists, interviewers, and security. It might also require legal authorization like grounds to execute a search warrant, determining when a search can be executed, as well as what is being searched for."
Heading Operational Investigation
The lead investigator is responsible for assembling the team of professionals that are required for a specific investigation. In the case of a financial crime or computer forensics, the investigation team needs to obtain warrants execute production orders, assemble security personnel, coordinate execution of search, and follow up after the search.
So members of the team should have the expertise and experience, in order to do things like obtain warrants, to assemble security personnel, to coordinate the execution of a search, and to follow up on that search. Remember that the overall goal of an investigation is to acquire information that can be used as evidence. But along the way, there are rules that must be followed in terms of how we do that. So when we gather evidence – from the seizure all the way to the preservation of it, even the archival of that data over time – we need to prove that it was kept under our control. Everything is documented, and date and time stamped. That refers to the chain of custody. Sometimes we also need to locate evidence that proves a crime was committed in the first place. Sometimes we also need to document the technical side of an environment, including things like IP addresses, determining whether a wireless network is secure or insecure. Sometimes we have to document things like usernames, and passwords, and so on. But we need to make sure that we consult with counsel, before we go through and use things like discovered usernames and passwords. We want to make sure that we aren't breaking the law.
"Acquiring evidence is the main purpose of an investigation. Acquiring evidence is subject to rules pertaining to the seizure, preservation, and chain of custody of that evidence. It is important to locate evidence which proves that a crime was committed, and to document the technical environment in which it was found, like IP addresses, secure or insecure wireless, and usernames and other credentials."
Sometimes, things like IP addresses are important to document – not just in the sense of a local IP address of a device, but also a remote IP address – because maybe machines were communicating for some kind of coordinated act that was being committed. An investigation will always take a two phased approach, whereby it begins with the collection of data. That can come from various locations, like data logs, or we might perform a live analysis of a running system. We might also take a memory dump of memory contents on a running system. Sometimes, we might take a network traffic capture to examine that traffic. But bear in mind that anybody can completely forge network transmissions, and place them on the network. So we would have to correlate network traffic captures with some other corroborating evidence, to make it trustworthy. We can recover deleted entries on storage media. This can be done by looking through deleted files, or file fragments, that remain on disk. And in some cases, we'll be able to see Internet artifacts that are a result of a user using certain Internet services – maybe viewing certain web pages, and so on.
The two phases of an investigation are collection and recovery.
The collection phase is concerned with collecting information like data logs, live analysis, memory dump, and network traffic capture. The recovery phase is concerned with collecting data from space unsigned space like deleted files, file slack, and Internet artifacts.

How many languages do you speak on LinkedIn?

How Many Languages Do You Speak? Did you know that you could create a different LinkedIn profile for every language you speak? This means that when someone from a different country (say Turkey) speaking a different language (Say Turkish) finds your profile on LinkedIn if you have created another language (Say Turkish), they can view and read it in Turkish! Just a note here: if you dont actually speak Turkish, dont create a profile in Turkish because you wont be able to speak to them when they call. And dont use Google translator. Its really not accurate (I speak form experience! How do you create a LinkedIn profile in a new language?

LinkedIn Name Search Hack Have you ever looked for someone on LinkedIn and instead of a name seen "LinkedIn Member"? Unfortunately, when doing an advanced search on LinkedIn for a type of person, more often than not instead of the person's name, you'll get the irritating non answerL "LinkedIn Member."This is especially with the free account and if you have a smaller network.

Treat Your LinkedIn Profile Like The Website It Is!
Tuesday November 8, 2011
Formatting Your LinkedIn Profile Make sure your LinkedIn profile is as least as professional in appearance as your website. Is it formatted, clean, and free of spelling and grammatical errors? I strongly suggest creating your LinkedIn profile first in a word document – not only so you can "catch" errors - but to get a better idea of what your profile will look like on the LinkedIn website. Some sections of LinkedIn ("Current Experience Description", "Summary" and "Contact Me" sections are the most visible) will allow you to "pull" in bullets and special characters. In the product and services section of your LinkedIn Company profile you can now use bold and italics, but so far that is the only place. (We'll talk more about the great new... Read More

Globalization and the Inequality of Nations
NBER Working Paper No. 5098
A monopolistically competitive manufacturing sector produces goods used for final consumption and as intermediates. Intermediate usage creates cost and demand linkages between firms and a tendency for manufacturing agglomeration. How does globalization affect the location of manufacturing and gains from trade? At high transport costs all countries have some manufacturing, but when transport costs fall below a critical value a core-periphery pattern spontaneously forms, and nations that find themselves in the periphery suffer a decline in real income. At still lower transport costs there is convergence of real incomes, in which peripheral nations gain and core nations may lose.

I've got to this interview with a historian about the pre-war mood between the American reporters and one with that especially impressed me was the quote that some sources used as a this year's US election warning:
When someone lobs those kinds of rhetorical bombs, it's sort of a natural human tendency to say, "Oh, that's just a figure of speech. They don't really mean it. It's just a way to whip up supporters." Atlantic:Nagorski
For our school festival about totality, I'd really appreciate if anybody linked me any specific quote from these days that would go in the similar spirit.
I'd be glad if you found the specific quote the historian in the interview is talking about but I'll be glad for any kind of quotes from the pre-totalitarian quotes that would somehow describe the liberal approach (I'm not trying to get into politics, I just find those scary well-meant assumptions as extremely interesting).
Thank you for any references.
