I look from time to time but to be honest, since the award scheme changed to be way way less per post or video etc, I just don't worry about it, I know a newcomer will be thinking "Ill never get there" and even a few of us that are at the top will still take forever to get to that magic top level
So I just keep doing my thing and don't worry about it, Aside from Credibility (Our Answers to questions are taken seriously or at least more seriously than others of a lower level), there is no bonus to being there right now
It does feel good to be there though, and knowing it was hard earned
Re: In the Tesla Clubdougw Mar 2, 2016 12:40 PM (in response to spannerspencer)
Points and levels have become much less important for me, because it takes far more time to level up than it takes to do a big project. I don't even know what the next level is or what points I need to get there. I suspect when the point spread between levels exceeds a certain amount, interest will tend to wane. Maybe if the scale was more linear at higher levels it would retain its motivating properties - maybe 5000 points between levels....

do you actively make an effort to reach the next level?
No because there doesn't seem to be one.
There is no real incentive to reach any level, so why would someone want to aspire to the next level.
As an absolute beginner they get all priviledges, while other sites you need to attain xx points before you have access to xyz.
In the older times the avatar changed, but since you apply your own the persons points is only visible if you look for it.
Novices and Higher get equal standings for Road Tests, etc so there is no advantage there.
Personally I think that some of the more expensive Road Tests should only be for Level x and higher, as it's obvious they have been here for a while and contributed.
Having a minimum level doesn't necessarily mean we get someone that can blog, since we've seen how some people comment on 3 year old posts to gain points.
We've also had some absolute newbies apply for Design Tests and become very valued members.
There was plenty of activity when I hit the top level, but sadly for Shabaz very little official recognition (unless I missed it). We have clem57 knocking on the door as well.
If we truely want to acknowledge these levels then surely we should be doing something for everyone that reaches them.
I know there is problems with cross border vouchers, but surely there is element14 merchandise that could be given out for certain levels.

Speaking of Level 8, I still have the Tesla sticker that cstanton gave me when we visited : ) It's awesome.
I occasionally have fun checking out what badges exist (I know a lot of effort goes into devising those by Element14, and it is definitely appreciated), and I would agree with you that we don't explicitly look out for points. Actually I feel guilty if people like clem57 and gadget.iom are not recognized, they actively help out on so many discussions with their diverse knowledge. I don't get so much time : ( despite having a high number of points.
mcb1 you set the gold standard : ) and always so I was very happy to follow in your footsteps, you're an inspiration especially because you always "keep it real". Many people from Element14 staff did personally reach out to me when the points hit 100k, so I felt appreciated. Also spannerspencer personally put me in touch with some people since he has way better contacts than me hehe, so overall I think personalized incentives to help each of us are still there loosely tied to points levels if people want them, its just that we get motivated in ways other than points eventually too, which is no bad thing and Element14 is doing lots of things right cultivating such an environment.
Christmas time especially was awesome - it was very clever how what would normally be a quiet season was turned into a busy time with the thought-provoking Year in Review/Preview posts that encouraged many conversations. So I hope Element14 internally recognises their staff too, for innovative thinking like this that keeps interest high.

Would be nice to do some more in depth H/W reviews. It would be interesting to see how much influence a good review has to a real life purchase, also how much if any does a review on a prticular site direct people to buy from that site in this case E14 of course... I suspect this information isn't really available except as a wild directed guess.

Hi Spanner,
I used to watch the points more closely as there was a list of where the points came from that allowed me to see from whom and for what they were awarded. Now the list is still there but it contains no information that is usable. The larger tiers may slow down the process but I think they push us back to what is important, paying attention to the posts, answering questions, posting blogs, and going about the purposes for which the forum is intended. When the next tier does come it is fun and feels more worth while than if it wasn't a struggle to get there. In a way the points and tier levels are like a sports teams record of wins. It is great to reminisce about past accomplishments but the real test and joy is in the next question and whether one can provide an answer worthy of a Helpful or a Correct response.

I kind of look at the points some one has but really more likely what they have done for the comunity. Lots of points answering your own questions seems pointless and just jams the site up with trash. Helping others is worthy and deserves help in response. If I see a person doing loads of different content I'm more engendered to them rather than just the points.

The badges like "expert" and less so "helpful" (since recent changes gives out more), indicate how others "feel" I may be doing. But I can honestly say some are more deserved than others. And without asking sometimes, they can be hard to earn. Maybe another badge can be given for the desired behaviors. I noticed a blogger badge given out to some folks. How did they get/earn them?
Re: In the Tesla Clubspannerspencer Mar 3, 2016 5:49 AM (in response to clem57)1 of 1 people found this helpful
The blogger badge is assigned manually, just to inform members that something was written by a commissioned blogger. Much like we have the element14 employee badge.
We're always looking for new badge ideas, as they're invariably popular, so do share any thoughts on that front, too.
Re: In the Tesla Clubmcb1 Mar 3, 2016 12:57 PM (in response to spannerspencer)1 of 1 people found this helpful
A badge for an exceptional review (or similar wording) would be worthy.
There have been some exceptional blogs/reviews that merit extra acknowledgement.
This could also be manual.

For the reasons mentioned above I too don't seem to watch too carefully.
The suggestion about holding back high-value road tests to people above a certain tier sounds like a good one.
Re: In the Tesla Clubjkutzsch Mar 7, 2016 8:13 PM (in response to gadget.iom)2 of 2 people found this helpful
Curious on why it would be advantageous to Element14 to limit any road tests or similar to an "Elite" level instead of the current process of allowing all to enter and then the Element14 staff appropriately deciding based on criteria.
I assume that one of the elements considered would be current standing of a member when the road tests are being judged so a level 8 member applying will automatically have a higher rating for a road test compared to a level 2. If an idea offered by a level 2 member is so incredible that Element 14 decides it warrants the opportunity above a level 8 member, why should that idea never be allowed it's chance to even be voiced?
I love reading all of the great ideas submitted by all levels and member participation is key to keeping new blood coming in. From what I have seen from the higher level members I would think the only reason they might not get a road test would be because they felt they were too busy, some seriously knowledgeable people here have put in the time and it is great. I really like how repeatedly I have seen high level members offer to assist anyone when they are in the various stages of processing ideas.
As a newer member I really enjoy the badges Element 14 comes up with. The points happen as they happen, because quite honestly, how can I realistically try to "compete" against members that have years on me within this site? ;-) Seriously though, I really like the badges and when you have tied in neat things like the Chinese New Year I think it has greatly increased conversation and idea sharing!

If I'm not mistaken the suggestion was only for 'high value' Road Tests and certainly doesn't apply to all.
You are right, but if you have a look at some of the Design Challenges the dropout rate amongst newer members (or just joined for that challenge/test) was high.
For road Tests the results aren't a lot better, and in some cases unless the person has access to some complimentary equipment, it is difficult to do a decent test.
In your case you are relatively new in the time scale, but have obviously gained points due to contributions to the community.
Your content and the badges earned show that you would easily slot into any 'limited entry' class.
how can I realistically try to "compete" against members that have years on me within this site?
Not sure that years on the site has a lot to do with it.
We've had some reasonably experienced members also fail to deliver for varying reasons, so it's not just a new member issue, but the stats would show the truth.
I had the opportunity to talk with Christian last year and he spoke about some of the challenges and the entries.
There were some really good entries from novices but experience showed that they would not be able to achieve what they propose, so sometimes the asperation is greater than the capability.
The ability to present the information also plays a large part in the decision ... a couple of lines "I did it" with a blurry picture is not going to inspire many.
It is also much easier if you have a track record, so rather than he is level x, I think past content is a deciding factor.
Re: In the Tesla Clubjkutzsch Mar 8, 2016 7:36 PM (in response to mcb1)2 of 2 people found this helpful
Thanks for the insight! I hope no one takes my posts as insulting or annoying. Getting more information always helps in understanding.
I look at the current process of criteria based decisions for Element 14 as seeming to be able to take into account experience and track record and if the people who manage the money decide that that the risk is worth it, then it is. If it was a public opinion based voting process I could understand limits being placed but I would think that the information that the staff have available to them would fully allow them to judge an Enrollment appropriately to include potential for a new person not following through or not having the equipment/experience. Hence the criteria specified in the T&Cs.
I am not trying to be obtuse, I just don't see a benefit to Element14 to restrict enrollment applications when they have the ultimate knowledge and power to judge as the company/site feels is best for the company/site. I also realistically don't see how a Level 9 member with a great idea and proven track record would not be chosen over an unknown member with an equal potential idea. You do bring up a good point though that even being a high level member does not equate to any guarantee of return. Stuff happens in life so I am sure that things can get crazy. :-)
I really love how this all works and the opportunities Element14 provides are incredible to me. I have never seen/heard of a company doing things like this.
I was making a joking reference in regards to competing and was kind of thinking of the points comparison. For instance you have been a member since 2012 and currently have 118,991 points. Holy CRAP! I have 6,390 points. Your sneezes have more points then I have in the less then 1/2 a year I have been a member. :-) I really don't think of it as competing, and I am hoping to continue to learn and be able to contribute more.
What could be intriguing would be some type of follow up Mentor program for newbies to have assistance and understanding in how to more appropriately blog/share information. It can be quite taunting to try to work with new products and you spend so much time focusing on the new item you forget to properly document what is happening. Maybe even some type of reference document that can link over to some great Enrollment applications and what makes them so great as well as the resulting blogs showing what those people did and how they documented it. But that kind of strays from the original topic. :-)
Re: In the Tesla Clubmcb1 Mar 9, 2016 12:12 AM (in response to jkutzsch)
Don't pick on me ... look at clem57
He started late in 2014
and he has also reached the lofty heights of Hertz with 100,456 points
One other consideration in the decision making process (for Road Tests) is the sponsor, and they can make decisions for other reasons.
It's great that you understand your own limitations, and take the time to increase your knowledge.
I get lots of info from the challenges and the best thing I've seen in recent years is the inter challenger co-operation and assistance.
I think you'll find the mentoring thing is under way. I know it was discussed but the exact nature of how it should work without becoming a one on one and offline was a WIP.
Re: In the Tesla Clubspannerspencer Mar 8, 2016 1:58 AM (in response to jkutzsch)1 of 1 people found this helpful
You've absolutely nailed the reasons behind the badges there, John, and I'm glad they're having the impact as intended.
The conversation regarding level-based RoadTests is much as Mark suggests -- the thought isn't so much that we'd be reserving things for the elite, so much as encouraging existing members to become more involved. Again, as Mark points out, that'd definitely include yourself.
My feeling is that people often join the Community to take part in RoadTests and Design Challenges, and that's something we want to encourage a LOT more of. It's kinda their purpose. At the same time, a brand new member might not yet feel that same connection and dedication to the Community, making it much easier to drop out. If someone makes the effort to attain, say, level 3 (easy, but takes a bit of exploration around the Community) to take part in a RoadTest or Design Challenge, I think it could put them in a much more affirmative frame of mind when it comes to applying or completing a project.
Certainly most would still be open to anyone -- this is just an idea that's being kicked around as a way to encourage deeper participation on the Community alongside new registrations.
kellyhensen had a thought about maybe splitting applications within a single RoadTest -- for example, five applications open to any level, and five reserved for Level 3 (or whatever) or higher, which I think adds an interesting angle to this idea.

If it makes sense to Element14 then it makes sense. Just because I don't grasp how the current criteria wouldn't already rate a higher member sufficiently to be able to elevate the key pool of applicants to a point where unknowns are not in the running, doesn't mean it doesn't make sense to others. :-)
I look at kind of like when I am on a board for hiring new employees. We accept many, many applicants. From that we have criteria that we assign point values to applicants and from those top point rated applicants we then move to interviews. We have had some people who may not have a Masters degree or similar but have had some specific experience and certifications that made them more interesting and as such earned extra points for review. By default a degree earns you a set # of points depending on the level of degree, I would think that Levels would be similar for when people are deciding who makes the cut.
I have seen several really incredible road tests that I sooooo wanted to jump on, but I realistically knew I didn't have the knowledge/experience yet to provide a valid return to Element 14 so I didn't apply. I just keep trying to learn from the site and improve my own capabilities.
I just wanted to ask for clarification of my own wonderings and to voice what I think might be a perspective of new blood. This is what has been helping me wander more about the site and feel more comfortable to actually contribute. The badges can be silly but I like them, I honestly don't get some of the points and how they are awarded, but the entire process makes it fun and interesting!
Re: In the Tesla Clubclem57 Mar 8, 2016 8:20 PM (in response to jkutzsch)
The missions generate interest and community involvement. This is good for element 14. The older people help by answering blogs to mostly newer folks here. That helps element 14 indirectly also. The levels indicate a certain seniority (or senior moments too). The growth and vibrancy of the community is related to our sponsors involvement like NXP or TI along with element 14. New technology is sometimes tested giving valuable feedback for maybe the marketing or R&D folks. Good for the sponsors. So this is a closed system in a way. But new members give life and growth. Without new members the chance of more seniors goes down too.

I really don't like the points/levels/badges thing at all.
It encourages some people to make posts asking for others to mark things as helpful or answered which I find as cringe making as a stand up comic begging for applause.
And as for marking replies as "correct" - words fail me - so I'll quote:
The impreciseness of the paraphrase of this as 'I know that I know nothing' stems from the fact that Plato's Socrates is not saying that he does not know anything but means instead that he cannot know anything with the absolute certainty of seeing. Socrates feels confident only in his possibly being mistaken about what he has known through seeing given the power of the imagination.[

Points, levels, and badges don't mean a lot to me. They meant even less after the whole scheme was restructured. I will say the fact that clicking a button marking something as helpful, even when it wasn't your question, is as valuable as a blog post, which can take days or weeks of preparation is disconcerting. That single button click, by the person that clicked it, should be worth no more than 1 point. I can see awarding the person whose answer was marked as helpful the full 15 points. But to paraphrase "when everything is helpful, nothing is"

Also, don't read it backwards, if the creator of the comment or post moved someone enough to like it or mark it helpful, those points are reasonable, because they made something of value. 15 points might be high, but whatever, but the reader, contributing nothing more than a mouse click, shouldn't be rewarded with an equal value.
Re: In the Tesla Clubjkutzsch Mar 8, 2016 7:55 PM (in response to mconners)

Yes, according to Your Ranking: element14 Community Badges, Levels & Points
if you mark a response helpful, you get 15 points as well as the person whose answer you marked. Which is the same as a blog post.

That is how I see it, I get confused when I see multiple posts marked as Helpful when they are more comments then actual knowledge shared. I will hit like quite a bit depending on the thread an input to conversation, but a helpful click is reserved for something that actually just educated me, or I feel is information that can educate others.

It also made me wonder about the general reaction to climbing levels -- do you just let them come as your points rack up naturally, or do you actively make an effort to reach the next level?
If you don't really watch the levels, what would make them of more interest to you?

Nurin Jazlin among 17 children still on police list of missing persons
PETALING JAYA: As the anguish continues for Nurin Jazlin's parents Jazimin Abdul Jalil and Norazian Bistaman, there are at least 16 other parents out there anxiously awaiting news of their missing children.
Nurin is among the 17 children under the age of nine – 10 boys and seven girls – on the police's list of missing persons.
These children seem to have "vanished" between January and July this year, and have yet to be found. Some left their homes, and like Nurin, never returned. Others were lured away by friends.
They are among the 34 cases (under nine years old) reported to the police until July. Sixteen of the cases involve boys and 18 others are girls. Police have so far found six boys and 11 girls.
"There were other reasons as well, such as the children running away because they were not interested in studying anymore and wanted freedom.
"Many also cited being scolded by their parents and they felt their parents did not understand them, or they felt their parents did not care for them," said CID director Commissioner Datuk Christopher Wan Soo Kee.
"But the main reason for the missing children was family dispute. Ten cases involved one parent taking away the child without informing the other after the couple divorced," he said.
Wanita MCA chief Datuk Dr Ng Yen Yen said society must accept that times have changed.
"We must re-look the value of trust. Urbanisation and progress bring development but also complicate society. We have all kinds of strangers around us and our children.
"The onus is on us, as parents, not to allow our children go out by themselves, even if it is to the grocery store. It is unfortunate, but we must also teach our children not to help strangers because the young ones are too innocent to differentiate between a ruse and a genuine cry for help," said Dr Ng.
The Deputy Finance Minister said as harsh as it sounded, parents must also teach their children not to be trusting of strangers, teachers and even relatives.
"It has been proven that children have been terribly hurt by those closest to them. The bad person is not confined to the stranger on the street," said Dr Ng.
She urged society to be caring enough to look out for all children.
"If you happen to come across a child in need, or one looking terrified as she is being held tightly by an adult, do not turn a blind eye, ask the child if he needs your help," said Dr Ng.
Child psychologist and Suhakam commissioner Dr Chiam Heng Keng said adults could not expect children to have the ability to fend for themselves, or differentiate a "good" person from a "bad" one.
"Children below 10 are not mature enough to think rationally. In many advanced countries, the law forbids these children to be left alone at home or venture out on their own," she said.

Madiba invited to World Cup final
Former South African president Nelson Mandela has been invited to attend next weekend's World Cup final between the Springboks and England.
South Africa coach Jake White said the current president Thabo Mbeki had already confirmed he would attend the match and there was a chance Mandela might also come to Paris if he was healthy enough to make the trip.
"I can confirm that Mbeki will attend," White told a news conference on Monday after the Springboks had booked their place in the final by beating Argentina 37-13 the previous night.
"When Madiba was [recently)] staying in Paris for his children's foundation, we visited him and gave him a number two jersey.
"An invitation was extended there that he was more than welcome to come and join us in the week of the final."
Mandela, who spent over a quarter of century in prison, was president when South Africa won the World Cup at Johannesburg in 1995 and helped inspire the team to victory.
He arrived at Ellis Park wearing a replica of Springbok captain Francois Pienaar's number six jersey, shaking his hand before the match, then presenting him with the Webb Ellis Cup after they had won the final.
White said the team had given Mandela a replica of current captain John Smit's number two jersey but his attendance at the final would be dependent on his health.
"I'm just hoping that Zelda [la Grange, Mandela's personal assistant] will see what his diary looks like, but more importantly it's what his health looks like," White said.
"These long trips are not too good for him so hopefully he's feeling up for it and if he's strong enough I'm sure he'll be here."
South Africa were banned from competing at the first two World Cups, in 1987 and 1991, because of apartheid but made an emotional return in 1995.
Chosen to host the tournament, they rode a wave of national support to defy the odds and beat New Zealand in extra-time in the final.
Few people thought the Springboks would win the title this time but they were catapulted to favourites after New Zealand and Australia crashed out in the quarterfinals and host-nation France bowed out in the semis.
"It's a massive thing. No one gave us a chance before we left," White said.
"The reality of coming here and being in the final is massive. To win a World Cup away from home would be massive for us."—Reuters.

Do you know the easiest way to kill a dragon? Just stuff a sheep or ram with a heap of poisonous filth and feed it to a dragon. Of course it's not the most heroic method but it is very safe and effective. Another option is to announce a reward for the dragon's head. After that the only thing you have to do is wait while the army of heroes, wizards and freaks drive a monster to its grave. It is always necessary to find a solution to the dragon problem because all the members of this scale-winged tribe have the same disease. It is a strong allergy to humans and their settlements and all dragons use the only medicine against this illness; total annihilation of the humans.

A throne with no ruler.
A beast stretching awake.
A goddess unleashed.
Makenna is a self-proclaimed freak with abilities she can't control. She's clawed her way through life, fighting to maintain her sanity. Her lonely existence has only fed the vicious animal within her, one she barely contains and doesn't understand.
Rhys has prepared since birth to be alpha and king of an ancient race of wolves. Instead, he leads half a fractured clan against a depraved madman. But victory begins to slip through his fingers. Only one thing can save them. A single requirement for him to claim the throne:
Bonding with his mate, the one warrior queen born to each generation, the incarnation of a primal warrior goddess who holds more power than any of them can imagine.
When Rhys finds Makenna, he believes the battle has shifted in his favor. He never imagined his heart would want her as much as his body. While Makenna is drawn to Rhys with terrifying intensity, his arrival triggers an acceleration in her abilities, the beast within her growing stronger than ever.
Will discovering the truth give Makenna the peace she craves, or will it ignite a savage escalation in the war, drenching their lives in blood?
Resistance is live!

Most people know plants by common names. They are easy to say and remember, and there is little misunderstanding within local communities. However, a problem arises when someone from one region refers to a plant by a different name from what is used by someone from another region. Scientific names solve this confusion by giving a precise two-word designation (genus and species) to each plant, regardless of common name or region.
Creeping Thyme (Thymus serpyllum)
Creeping thyme is an ideal ground cover for sun or light shade and may even be used to entirely replace a small lawn—especially on slopes and difficult-to-mow areas. It is also useful as a planting between flagstones where light foot traffic releases its subtle fragrance. It stays covered with tiny purple flowers from late spring through summer and is perennial.
Bugleweed (Ajuga reptans)
Bugleweed is the name commonly given to this familiar ground cover for light to moderate shade. It grows only two to three inches tall and produces delicate blue flowers in early spring. It prefers a well-drained, rich soil and spacing of between eight and 12 inches for optimal growth. There are several cultivars available, including variegated and bronze-leaved varieties.
Sweet Woodruff (Galium odoratum)
The name says it: odoratum means "fragrance." Sweet woodruff is a sweet-smelling, low-growing (six to 10 inches) plant for deep shade. It has white flowers in spring. The University of Illinois Extension recommends it as an effective and pretty ground cover when paired with spring bulbs and wildflowers in moist, well-drained areas to USDA Hardiness Zone 4.
Genus Sedum (Various Species)
For rocky areas or poor-quality soils—especially in areas prone to drought and arid conditions—try any of the wide range of sedums available on the market. Sedums are succulents that come in many forms, with a broad assortment of flower and leaf colors and textures. These virtually indestructible little plants make excellent cover between paving stones and around patios. With heights from two inches to two feet, there is a sedum suitable for almost any space. They are perennial and hardy as far north as USDA Zone 3.
Periwinkle or Myrtle (Vinca minor)
If you are looking for just one hardy perennial groundcover capable of extending from dense shade into sunny areas of your landscape, periwinkle or myrtle may be the one for you. It is a beautiful, glossy-leaved, low-growing evergreen sporting attractive blue flowers in spring. Vinca is so hardy it thrives in almost every one of the continental United States and even in northern Canada. It will quickly cover ground, but please note that it may become invasive.

Hi Sugar, Do you mind telling me how many calories do you eat typically? Sparkpeople gives me a range but on most days I am going over the maximum by atleast 100 calories. I feel sooo hungry if I don't...::(((...especially on the days I exercise.ReplyDeleteReplies
see I try to stay around 1600 calorie range! Given the exercise I do, some days, even that I find difficult. Not only hungry but exhausted, drained & sleepy!! I guess, it is about eating wholesome food, and staying away from refined sugars including white rice and processed flour.100 calories might be ok. But are you seeing atleast a small weight loss with that? if not you might need to change the way you eat even though you may not need to change the total number of calories per se. hope that helped!Delete
I gained weight in October:-(( After an Eid related binge, I am somewhat normal these days. I have planned a lot of walks for November. We shall see...ReplyDelete

I turned up unannounced and unexpected this morning with a smashed Iphone screen and a very short amount of time to get it fixed. I explained to the gentleman at the counter that I needed it for Uni in about an hour. Even though he was running this place single handed, he repaired the phone in front of me and threw in a free screen protector. The price was far less than I had thought it would be and really appreciated the extra mile he went to to accommodate my schedule.

Dr Karim set up his Botox services in his own name only to find he was paying 45% income tax and 9% national insurance to boot. We advised him how to change his business structure for his private clients which reduced the tax charge from 54% to 19%, as well as showing him and his family how they could extract cash tax efficiently from his new limited company.
Phil purchased a property with a shop above it and his solicitor asked him to pay £10,000 for Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT). Sadly he was misinformed and the SDLT charge should have been just £2,000. With our help, he was able to claim back the £8,000 (with interest) from HMRC.
Dr Phillips used a limited company for his GP practice but was taking money out inefficiently, resulting in a painful 54% personal tax bill every year. We helped him save significant tax by restructuring his limited company shares and ensuring ownership was spread amongst his family in a way he'd always wanted but never before had the support to make happen.
Martin purchased a £200,000 commercial building which he was going to convert to a residential dwelling. Unfortunately for him, his prior accountant did not tell him about the tax breaks of saving VAT and SDLT on purchase. He did not repeat the overpayment of VAT of £40,000 or the overpayment of SDLT of £8,000.
Dr Singh was extracting money from his limited company and being taxed at 38.1% on dividends to buy a property. With our help, he set up a property investment business that was loaned money from his GP practice. That meant he saved £38,100 in tax on a £100,000 investment.
Dr James and his wife had a £700,000 investment business, not benefitting from holdover relief. They became concerned about protecting their family from future IHT tax bills. With our help, they redesigned their business structure to ensure that any future capital growth would be assigned to their children and reduce their IHT bill to nil.
Mr Grant disposed of a property and was worried about the CGT liability of £15,000. As an additional rate taxpayer, he already paid over £50,000 of income tax. With the use of an alternative investment as identified by our strategic partners, he was able to mitigate the CGT liability in full and get a cheque back from HMRC refunding £16,071 of income tax.
Dr Singh runs a medical practice and owns the building from which it operates. We identified the ability to claim Capital Allowances on the building. That meant that his tax liability was reduced by £20,000 in the first year of working with us alone.

As Monday hits us, and we think about getting back on the fitness bandwagon- how about sparing a thought for that crazy bunch of people out there who are currently in the thick of training for a marathon! This Sunday (26th April), London will be tying their trainer shoe laces, as they play host to the 26 mile course, and some of our Benefit gang are getting stuck in and running for a charity close to our hearts, Refuge!
Over the next week, our Benebabe and resident blogger jogger, Julie Strang (Country Manager, Ireland) will give you an in depth insight into the crazy world of running:
"So what do I think about when I run? Actually same thing I think about before I run and after I run…. Will it make me thin? Is my bum any smaller? And can I now have wine. Why is the world so unfair, why can't we get rewarded on efforts… You see running is all about effort. To be arsed… To get off ones ass quite literally, haul yourself into some Lycra, suck it in and hit the street.
Now I have been a runner for probably 8 years now. I use that term runner loosely, a plodder, one who makes effort, one who is in it for the long haul, one that lives in the hope that one day my reward will come. You know…even to have someone say "you look like a runner" would be progress, never mind "are those your medals?". You see, I have quite a collection now: 5 marathons, no6 pending and countless half marathons, 10ks and fun runs; but still not the trophy of being instantly recognisable as a runner!!
Now just as I write, (well rather empty my stream of consciousness) I am sat in the hairdressers having a quick blow dry, thinking why…for 1 days' worth. You see… I will run again tomorrow, maybe not for long, but It will still take the same amount of effort whether 5 miles or 25 miles. I will still deliberate, pig tails or pony, skins or no skins, Fleetwood Mac or Queen, you see running is all about decisions, and that's why I love it.
I make many decisions in life. At work I am paid to make them and at home I pay if I don't make them 'cause then someone else makes them on my behalf, and it's not my decision!!! Another reason to love running is that it gives you the headspace to make more complex decisions, well at least live out the ramifications of getting them wrong, run out the what ifs and feel strong about the what next?
Now, don't get me wrong, running is also about the physical. I enjoy being strong and fast…no one can do that for you. No amount of money can make you better, faster, stronger than the next man. It's a leveller , I cannot tell you how excited I was to read that Christy Turlington (the original Super who just happens to be my age), featured in RED this month saying she is addicted to marathons, and can't wait to come to London in a few weeks to complete the London Marathon, same one as little old me and young mark, my running buddy and work husband (picture below)! Fact is, she has actually only completed 3 marathons so you see to me… about to rack up my 6th, this makes me super-sized compared to Christy… Hope we can swap top tips at the start line next week. Keep you posted.
Gotta run, hair done, need to enjoy all 6 hours of straight before I start all over again 😉
Keep an eye out for your next instalment on Wednesday where Julie talks all about why she runs for Refuge!
Love and lipstick,

What is Mumps?
What is Mumps? Mumps is a disease that causes the parotid glands (salivary glands) to swell due to viral infections. This gland is located just below the ears beside the face. Therefore, people who experience mumps, the side of his face will look bigger.
Mumps disease is a contagious disease and is commonly afflicted by children. This disease is caused by one of the virus from the family of paramyxovirus which spread similar to flu virus, for example if we also take in the air contaminated with mump virus when near the sufferers of sneezing or coughing.
The spread of mumps virus can also occur indirectly or through intermediate media, for example we use glasses or towels that are also used by people with mumps. Another example is when people with mumps touch their mouth or nose, then their hands that have been contaminated with the virus holding the door handle, then we also have a chance of contracting if you hold the handle of the door.
Mumps virus will enter the respiratory tract and then to the parotid gland to multiply and incubate for fourteen to twenty-five days.
Symptoms of mumps
Once the mump virus incubates, the symptoms will appear. In addition to swelling of the parotid gland that causes the patient's facial side to appear enlarged, mumps can also cause other symptoms, such as:
- Joint pain
- High fever
- Dry mouth
- Abdominal pain
- Missing appetite
- Tired
- Headache
The symptoms are often felt before the swelling of the parotid gland occurs and when it happens swelling, usually the patient will have difficulty swallowing and feel the pain on the side of the face.
Diagnosis of mumps
Although mumps are not a serious disease, it is advisable to see a doctor if you or your child has symptoms. Doctors need to make sure that you are sick of mumps because there are some other more serious diseases (eg tonsillitis and glandular fever) whose symptoms are similar to mumps.
Diagnosis is usually obtained by a doctor after checking the patient's body temperature, see and touch the swelling on the side of the face, and after doing a mouth exam to see tonsillectomy.
Mumps treatment
Until now there is no drug that can overcome mumps. Recovery comes after our own immune system manages to fight infection. While the immune system performs recovery, we also need to take care steps to relieve symptoms.
Compress parts that are swollen and sore with warm water. In addition, it is recommended to get enough rest and drink plenty of water. Do not consume drinks that can irritate the parotid gland, such as fruit juice, and consumption of soft foods to avoid the pain of chewing.
Take painkillers (eg paracetamol or ibuprofen) that have been prescribed by your doctor at the recommended dosage. Mumps usually recover within 1-2 weeks. If after that period the symptoms of mumps do not show signs of improving or even suddenly worsening, see your doctor again.
Complications of mumps
In addition to infecting the parotid gland, the mumps can also contaminate the fluid that protects the spine and brain (cerebrospinal fluid), and may subsequently spread to other parts of the body, such as attacking the pancreas, brain, ovaries, or testes.
If the spread to these parts has occurred, it can lead to complications, among others:
- Testicular swelling. Testicular swelling usually begins on days four to eight days after parotid gland swelling in patients who have reached puberty. If you experience this condition, compress your testicles with warm water or take painkillers. Ibuprofen or paracetamol can be consumed to relieve pain. Also, use comfortable underwear. Once cured, testicular swelling very rarely causes a decrease in sperm volume, testicular shrinkage, or even sterility.
- Swelling of the ovaries. Just as testicular swelling, ovarian swelling cases are also only potentially occurring in women who suffer from mumps after puberty. This condition is not classified as serious and will heal by itself after the immune system successfully overcome mumps. Symptoms that usually appear are nausea, fever, and pain in the lower abdomen.
- Acute pancreatitis. In the case of acute pancreatitis associated with mumps, the symptoms are usually mild. In addition to pain in the middle of the stomach that feels suddenly, people with this complication also has the potential to experience diarrhea, fever, nausea, and loss of appetite. Although relatively mild, doctors can encourage patients to be hospitalized until the condition of the pancreas organ recovered.
- Viral meningitis. Meningitis in this type is different from the lethal meningitis caused by bacteria. This type of meningitis only causes mild symptoms, such as flu and can usually heal within two weeks. In addition to flu-like symptoms, other symptoms are headache, neck feels stiff, and increased eye sensitivity to light.
Mumps prevention
Mumps disease can be prevented as early as possible by giving MMR immunization to your child. Vaccine is administered when the child is 12-18 months old and must be repeated once again when he is 6 years old.
Meanwhile, if we already do not get the vaccine as a child, then we can take preventive steps by always keeping the hand hygiene, not sharing toiletries or eating with others, and wear a mask.
If you or your child already diagnosed with mumps, then do not move outside the house temporarily until healed. The disease is easily transmitted to others, especially a few days before the parotid glands swell for several days afterwards.
If the patient is about to sneeze or cough, should use tissues to cover the mouth and nose, then dispose of the tissue, then wash hands thoroughly. By hand washing, then the virus will not stick to other media potentially untouched by others who are still healthy.

Brightsign, Scala, Muzak create Encompass DS
Three significant players in the digital signage industry – Brightsign, Scala and Muzak – have combined to create the Encompass DS, a new product described as "what the digital signage industry has been waiting for".
Compared with PC-based solutions, Muzak's Encompass DS is said to be more reliable, more affordable and offer a lower operating cost. It is both compact and light weight, making it small enough to deploy virtually anywhere.
"We've closely evaluated the digital signage market for several years, paying specific attention to the market's wide range of use cases," said Christopher Williams, executive vice president of Muzak Media. "While the very sophisticated solutions get the most attention, we felt that a simpler, more elegant solution was missing. The combined specialties of Muzak, BrightSign and Scala have created a truly unique solution that will satisfy the needs of today's savvy business owners."
The Encompass DS allows users to log in from any Internet-connected computer to manage and monitor their content quickly and simply. With 1,000 unique content-rich feeds from top weather, news and fashion outlets including The New York Times and People Magazine, and dozens of easily customisable templates, the companies say that users now have the power to create custom rich content plans in minutes.
"We're honoured that Muzak selected BrightSign technology for the new Encompass DS," said Jeff Hastings, BrightSign CEO (pictured). "The solid-state hardware platform we developed for Encompass DS is based on BrightSign's HD210 network-enabled player."
"We've spent the last 18 months improving every facet of Muzak - with a specific emphasis on our products and service," said Steve Villa, CEO of Muzak. "The launch of the Encompass DS is another proud milestone for our company."

Youth Hostels - Going Solo
right, I've never been to a youth hostel on my own before. Regale me with your dos and donts of sharing a mixed dorm in a foriegn country!!
don't use Lynx
take earplugs and a blindfold thing (I've been to some stupid hostels where light floods in at 5am)
try not to get really annoyed by the posh Americans swanning around in flip-flops and silk dressing gowns
I was in a mixed dorm the other week.
I went to Paris to see Kings of Leon and the fella below me never stopped snoring. Ear plugs are a must.
hang on
why am I not using Lynx? Its part of a subtle blend of sure roll on, JPG and Vice that makes me the man I am damn it!
I sleep like a noisy log
I have a return flight to Barcelona and nothing to do with it, returning Monday. Should I go crazy and go? Tomorrow? It being my birthday Sunday?
Why the hell not?
Unless you feel you might get lonely on your birthday. Hostels are pretty good for meeting nice people, usually.
Kabul is the Barcelona party hostel!!!11 or so I've been told.
You should definitely go
It'll be great.
try to spend as little time possible in the youth hostel
padlock your bags.
I'm going to take absolutely nothing
relatively speaking.
I should probably not take my laptop right?
are you going to barcelona?
i don't know really, depends on what you need your laptop for. the youth hostel i stayed in in new york was alright safety-wise, but i woulda put my laptop with my other luggage and padlocked that shit right up. if you can go without it for a few days then just leave it at home.
I need my laptop to ensure my life isnt coming apart at the seems
plus also might do some artwork while I'm there, and upload photos as I go to report back to the people I've bailed on for the weekend.
Maybe I don't need it. But i might feel like I do when I lose my mobile now I'm used to it!
surreptiously look at as many tits as possible
whilst pretending to be asleep.
German girls love getting their tits out in mixed dorms. true fax.
Going alone is pretty much the best way.
You meet more people when you're traveling alone, especially when it comes to the hostels.
I am super excited now!
Everyone but the group leader has OK'd my hyper-short notice leave, woot!
all clear!
its on! first solo holiday ever!
we shared with a guy on his own in berlin
he was trying to find somewhere to stay in berlin and we were on holiday
he was just polite and looked for jobs on his laptop most of the time. no problem. he was from new zealand.
once in one in munich
I was woken up by the smell of someones feet, it was the worst thing i've ever smelt
now im psyched!
I went to France for a year at uni
and I turned up in Paris without anywhere to stay. I got a room in this shitty hostel. I thought I was gonna be on my own. When I was tucked up in bed with my book, getting a nice early night before going to work in the morning, this North african bloke staggered in stinking very badly of booze and smoking fags even though they weren't allowed. He proceeded to talk bollocks for ages while I gave monosyllabic answers.
Eventually he sat down on my bed, at which point I began to feel rather uncomfortable. Then he put his hand on my lap, looked into my eyes and told me that he knew the manager and if I needed any "favours" I only had to ask. At this point I mumbled "I'm going to bed now", and he backed off. Unfortunately he then collap[sed on the bunk above mine and embarked on the loudest, most disgusting snoring session I have ever heard, whilst continuing to stink the room out with his assorted, disgusting odours. What with this and the genuine fear I had of waking up mid-bum-rape, I couldn't get to sleep. I remember at some point in the early morning, standing out in the courtyard, barefoot in the dark and the rain, nervously puffing on a cigarette and feeling very pessimistic about my coming year abroad.
It all went swimmingly from then on though!
It was in Barbes Rochechouart or something. Don't go there.
its too late now!
and ive booked a place without a damn bar!
I only meant don't go to that rapey Paris hostel
shame about the bar though.
damn it.
FACT I've never in my 26 years and 363 days visited a bar alone.
i went around the US solo and stayed in them.
new york - slow service, questionable luggage storage, dorm rooms completely empty throughout.
chicago - above a greek restaurant, completely empty throughout
denver - smuggled myself into empty dorm being refurbished after a terrifying christian had regaled me with stories about being attacked and finding jesus to forgive his attackers. that sounds like he was lovely but he was a spilt glass away from killing everyone in the room.
san francisco - lovely lovely place, ended up dating someone who worked there.
so i'd say it's worth it all considered.

"There was something heroic about it and he could have driven us stark mad, Ravel, if he had wanted to. But that's not Ravel. Suddenly it all died down. It was as if he remembered, in the midst of his antics, that he had on a cutaway suit. He arrested himself. A great mistake, in my opinion. Art consists in going the full length. If you start with the drums you have to end with dynamite, or TNT. Ravel sacrificed something for form, for a vegetable that people must digest before going to bed."
-Henry Miller
Norman Mailer called Henry Miller's Tropic of Cancer "One of the ten or twenty great novels of our [20th] century." George Orwell hailed Cancer as "a remarkable book" with "a feeling for character and a mastery of technique that are unapproached in any at all recent novel." Novelist Lawrence Durrell said "For me Tropic of Cancer stands beside Moby Dick…American literature today begins and ends with the meaning of what Miller has done." Ben Ray Redman spoke for many an excited reader when he wrote that Miller was "one of the most remarkable, most truly original authors of this or any age." Also to pile on the plaudits at one time or another were powerhouse writers Ezra Pound, Aldous Huxley, T.S. Eliot, and John Dos Passos.
And yet, today, Miller's raucous autobiographical novels receive scant attention in America's literary media organs. Essays on Ernest Hemingway, William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, Jack Kerouac and other long-deceased 20th century American novelists continue to circulate through the New York Times Book Review, the New York Review of Books, the New Yorker, and the New Republic, but Henry Miller is conspicuously absent.
Have the mannerly beasts of convention that Miller gleefully used for buckshot banished him forever, or will there be revivals, a reward for keeping it real? Would he turn in his grave at this very discussion?
Henry Miller was born in Manhattan to German immigrants in 1891 and shortly thereafter moved to Brooklyn . Of this time and place, Miller wrote in Black Spring, "Where others remember of their youth a beautiful garden, a fond mother, a sojourn at the seashore, I remember, with a vividness as if it were etched in acid, the grim soot-covered walls and chimneys of the tin factory opposite us and the bright, circular pieces of tin that were strewn in the street."
Early on it was apparent that Miller was gifted, and endlessly curious, but he was not much interested in formal education or a career track, though he had a vague idea that he wanted to be a writer. In 1909 he left City College of New York in his first semester and proceeded to drift until 1917, when he married Beatrice Wickens. In 1919, Miller's daughter Barbara was born, and in 1920, to support his family, he became an employment manager for Western Union .
Miller's experience at Western Union (fictively referred to as 'the Cosmodemonic Telegraph Company') forms the backbone of Tropic of Capricorn, which was published abroad in 1939. Stripping the gloss off the U.S. economic 'miracle' of the Roaring Twenties, Miller described the grim corporate practice of employee recycling that continues to this day:
What was needed was a mechanic, but according to the logic of the higher-ups there was nothing wrong with the mechanism, everything was fine and dandy except that things were temporarily out of order. And things being temporarily out of order brought on epilepsy, theft, vandalism…sometimes strikes and lockouts. Whereupon, according to this logic, you took a big broom and you swept the stable clean, or you took clubs and guns and you beat sense into the poor idiots who were suffering from the illusion that things were fundamentally wrong. It was good now and then to talk of God, or to have a little community sing – maybe even a bonus was justifiable now and then, that is when things were getting too terribly bad for words. But on the whole, the important thing was to keep hiring and firing; as long as there were men and ammunition we were to advance, to keep mopping up the trenches.
The time at Western Union soured Miller on the work world, and America itself, specifically the American notion that human progress was inextricably bound to a culture of industry:
I think of all the streets in America combined as forming a huge cesspool, a cesspool of the spirit in which everything is sucked down and drained away to everlasting shit. Over this cesspool the spirit of work weaves a magic wand; palaces and factories spring up side by side, and munition plants and chemical works and steel mills and sanatoriums and prisons and insane asylums. The whole continent is a nightmare producing the greatest misery of the greatest number. I was one, a single entity in the midst of the greatest jamboree of wealth and happiness (statistical wealth, statistical happiness) but I never met a man who was truly wealthy or truly happy.
In 1924, Miller divorced his first wife and married June Mansfield, a dancer with bohemian leanings who was to become his central muse for many years after. June was also a hustler, capable of scrounging up money with the wiles of her enimagnetic personality. Not long after they tied the knot she convinced Miller to leave his job and devote himself to writing.
For the next several years, Miller lived on a shoe-string budget subsidized by June, worked occasional odd jobs, and wrote and submitted for little money and zero acclaim. One editor was kind enough to tell the aspiring author, "It is quite obvious that writing is not your forte."
All along he had ridden the tide, let the course of events be determined from without, but now Miller found a focus:
I want to go contrary to the normal line of development, pass into a superinfantile realm of being which will be absolutely crazy and chaotic but not crazy and chaotic as the world about me. I have been an adult and a father and a responsible member of society. I have earned my daily bread. I have adapted myself to a world that was never mine. I want to break through this enlarged world and stand again on the frontier of an unknown world which will throw this pale, unilateral world into shadows.
Miller's wish came true when he moved to Paris in 1930 (June stayed behind in New York ). Being alone and in a foreign environment in the early years of the Great Depression was fraught with homelessness, loneliness, and hunger, but the fresh wash of new people, places and experiences put Miller in a creative fervor that birthed his opus, Tropic of Cancer (released in September, 1934).
From the opening pages of Cancer, the reader is confronted with a bold first-person voice with little concern for literary niceties:
It is now the fall of my second year in Paris . I was sent here for a reason I have not yet been able to fathom.
I have no money, no resources, no hopes. I am the happiest man alive. A year ago, six months ago, I thought I was an artist. I no longer think about it, I am. Everything that was literature has fallen from me. There are no more books to be written, thank God.
This then? This is not a book. This is libel, slander, defamation of character. This is not a book in the ordinary sense of the word. No, this is a prolonged insult, a gob of spit in the face of Art, a kick in the pants to God, Man, Destiny, Time, Love, Beauty…
Where many novelists have been known to sit at their desk and pull material from the safe haven between their ears, Miller believed in the value of direct experience and spun his narratives the way he lived them, bouncing around aimlessly from one incident to the next, overarching themes be damned, with deft splotches of local color:
Nothing better between five and seven than to be pushed around in that throng, to follow a leg or a beautiful bust, to move along with the tide and everything whirling in your brain. A weird sort of contentment in those days. No appointments, no invitations for dinner, no program, no dough…Dashing here and there like a bedbug, gathering butts now and then, sometimes furtively, sometimes brazenly; sitting down on a bench and squeezing my guts to stop the gnawing, or walking through the Jardin des Tuileries and getting an erection looking at the dumb statues. Or wandering along the Seine at night, wandering and wandering, and going mad with the beauty of it…the trees leaning to, the broken images in the water, the rush of the current under the bloody lights of the bridges, the women sleeping in doorways, sleeping in newspapers, sleeping in the rain; everywhere the musty porches of the cathedrals and beggars and lice and old hags full of St. Vitus' dance; pushcarts stacked up like wine barrels in the side streets, the smell of berries in the market place and the old church surrounded with vegetables and blue arc lights, the gutters slippery with garbage and women in satin pumps staggering through the filth and vermin at the end of an all-night souse.
Other than a brief stint as a proofreader, and some time teaching English, Miller had little employment from the time he arrived in Paris . On the fringes but ever-adaptive, he created a new, loose network of friends by idling around cafes and deploying his listening skills and gift of gab. Among his new friends was Anais Nin, a writer of erotica who became one of Miller's lovers and a sometime benefactor. Nin was just one of many helping hands; to remove the need to punch a clock for sustenance, Miller parlayed his affability into a rotating schedule of meal invitations which broadened his group of associates and provided a well of stories and personalities to channel into his writing.
Miller's wife June visited Paris , but, sadly, went back to New York :
The last glimpse I had of her was in the window waving goodbye to me…Mona at the window waving good-bye. White heavy face, hair streaming wild. And now it is a heavy bedroom, breathing regularly through the gills, sap still oozing from between her legs, a warm feline odor and her hair in my mouth. My eyes are closed. We breathe warmly into each other's mouth. Close together, America three thousand miles away. I never want to see it again. To have her here in bed with me, breathing on me, her hair in my mouth - I count that something of a miracle. Nothing can happen now till morning…
In the winter of 1934, Miller divorced June, not least because he had no desire to return to the United States . He rejected America 's economic regimen, the tacky consumer culture that drove it, and the toll it had taken on spirituality, creativity and human interplay. The soul-sucking eventuated by industrialization had robbed man of his true nature:
All over the States I wandered, and into Canada and Mexico . The same story everywhere. If you want bread you've got to get in harness, get in lock step. Over all the earth a gray desert, a carpet of steel and cement. Production! More nuts and bolts, more barbed wire, more dog biscuits, more lawn mowers, more ball bearings, more high explosives, more tanks, more poison gas, more soap, more toothpaste, more newspapers, more education, more churches, more libraries, more museums. Forward! Time presses. The embryo is pushing through the neck of the womb, and there's not even a gob of spit to ease the passage.
Miller rejected automatonism and reveled in the senses and the sensual, filling his pages with a ripe smorgasbord of tastes, smells, sights and sounds, including liberal use of naughty words and graphic sex scenes that snuffed the guilt out of sin. Tropic of Cancer – and future Miller releases – were banned in the United States, but the response in France (where the book was published) and among many readers of note generated enough sales to keep a roof over Miller's head and helped fuel the enthusiasm that produced his next two novels, Black Springand Tropic of Capricorn.
It's doubtful Miller would have minded following the tide in Paris for some time longer, but World War II intervened. Miller came back to New York for a time, eventually to settle in Big Sur, California, where he got back to the land, married, fathered two more children, got divorced and re-married, hosted writers, artists and sundry admirers, and continued to write.
In 1958, the prestigious American Institute of Arts and Letters made Miller a member due to a "boldness of approach and intense curiosity concerning man and nature…unequalled in the prose literature of our time." Ironically, his major works were still banned in America at the time, but a quantum leap in free expression was right around the corner. In 1961, at the age of 70, Miller received his biggest paycheck ever when Grove Press handed over a $50,000 advance for three novels with every intent of banking on Miller's underexposed ouvre. Three years later, in September of 1964, Tropic of Cancer finally beat the censors in the Grove Press, Inc., v. Gerstein U.S. Supreme Court ruling, thirty years after Cancer's initial release in France .
Miller spent his remaining years in Pacific Palisades, California, where he continued to read and write, paint and show his watercolors, ride his bike, and entertain guests until the ripe age of 88.
What about posterity? Will Henry Miller last?
Though he joked of writing for posterity, and graciously kept nearly everything he ever produced for future scholars, biographies and articles about Henry Miller have been rare. His red-blooded, pre-p.c. sensibility hasn't endeared him to many feminists and elements of the academic left, and he's too frequently pigeonholed as a writer of dirty books, a la Charles Bukowski, because detractors seek a neat categorical slot in which to stuff his work. Even Miller's library in Big Sur refuses to look back. The library's website pointedly says: "It is not a Library where you can borrow books, it is not a memorial with dusty relics, it is not a fully stocked bookstore, it is not a trinket store where you'll find a large selection of glossy photographs of the coast, t-shirts, mugs and baseball caps. It is not Henry Miller's old home (that was four miles down the road on Partington Ridge), it is not originally built to be a public place."
Miller's ego may have been bruised by a modern day lack of recognition, but he probably wouldn't have lost a lot of sleep over it, for art, like life, was about the moment. Behind the scathing rants was a childlike joy at drinking, eating, talking, laughing, and screwing, especially, and a belief in the transformative power of art, and above all, the performance:
I remember an anonymous performer on the Keith Circuit who was probably the craziest man in America , and perhaps he got fifty dollars a week for it. Three times a day, every day in the week, he came out and held the audience spellbound. He didn't have an act – he just improvised. He never repeated his jokes or his stunts. He gave of himself prodigally, and I don't think he was a hop fiend either. He was one of those guys who are born in the corn crakes and the energy and the joy in him was so fierce that nothing could contain it. He could play any instrument and dance and step and he could invent a story on the spot and string it out till the bell rang…it was a show that contained more therapy than the whole arsenal of modern science. They ought to have paid a man like this the wages the President of the United States receives. They ought to sack the President of the United States and the whole Supreme Court and set up a man like this as ruler. This man could cure any disease on the calendar. He was the kind of guy, moreover, as would do it for nothing, if you asked him to. This is the type of man who empties insane asylums. He doesn't propose a cure – he makes everybody crazy.
