Labour Gives Card Account Boost to the Post Office
As the Labour Government announced the renewal of the Post Office Card Account, Stephen Morgan pays tribute to local campaigners.
Local Post Offices received a boost today as the Labour Government awarded the contract for the Post Office Card Account (POCA) service to the Post Office. The news will be welcomed by local post offices who rely on the business POCA brings into branches, as a result of people using their cards to pick up their pensions or benefits. Around 4640 people in Orpington have these account cards.
Welcoming the news Stephen Morgan, Labour's Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Orpington, thanked local people for campaigning with him on the issue:
"This is great news for the post office. I am delighted that the government has listened to what I have been saying on behalf of local people. I would like to thank everyone who has stood up for local post offices and made their voices known on this.
With the financial crisis that started with the American banks now being felt here in Britain, people are feeling worried about their finances. Post Offices are often the only providers of banking services in local areas so this vote of confidence in the post office is very welcome."
The Labour Government has decided to award a new contract for the continuation of POCA directly to the Post Office. This announcement is good news for the Post Office as the card account is an important source of income and brings customers through the doors of post offices across the country. The National Federation of Sub Post Masters had said that, without POCA 3,000 Post Offices would close.>/p>
We announced in December 2006 that there would be a successor to POCA and put that product out to tender. However, in order to support a viable Post Office network the Labour Government have decided to cancel the current procurement exercise.
- The Post Office Card Account is a very straightforward account specifically designed to pay benefits administered by the Department for Work and Pensions, the Northern Ireland Social Security Agency, Service Personnel and Veterans Agency and Inland Revenue tax credits.
- Only benefits and pensions can be paid in and they are collected across a post office counter using a plastic card and PIN.
- About four million people receive their benefits and pensions this way, including around two million pensioners.

Progressive Crust band from Salt Lake City, Utah All heavy/aggressive music comes from the same place. The biggest distinction that should be made between bands of this type shouldn't be by (sub) genrefication, but simply by how authentically and effectively they convey what they're trying to convey. Hopefully the sounds we make and the way we operate makes that point clearer than words can, but in case they don't, here are the words. This is where we are coming from, forever have, and forever will.
If you were to amplify oil drums, broken cymbals, battered basses, unrecognizable tape loops, dilapidated voices and push it into the red you'd have a pretty good idea of what to expect from a live set by Denver based band Echo Beds. With the expressed intention of volume as therapy and put through the grinder of the self-practiced DIY ethos- this is visceral, political, and genre defying music.
Aggressive, energetic fast-paced hardcore seasoned with deathmetal, sludge and tasty breakdowns. A four-piece powerhouse, from the depths of the Swedish hardcore underground, 'God Mother' has been a rising force since its inception in 2012. God Mother's debut, Maktbehov, was easily one of Metal's most exciting new releases in 2015, making many of the year's top lists including Loudwire, Blunt Mag, Metal Injection, and was hailed by Pitchfork as "an asteroid crash of an album that renders most of its competition extinct." Across 14 tracks, God Mother's Party Smasher Inc. debut, "Vilseledd," out October 20th, 2017, packs hardcore, grind, sludge, and noise into lethal projectiles, fueled by bilingual lyrics denouncing society's ignorance, in both Swedish and English. God Mother has so far toured South Africa and Central America each once, and Europe three times. The band has toured extensively with acts such as Cult Leader, The Number 12 Looks Like You and The Dillinger Escape Plan. In the summer of 2017 God Mother played the prestigious international metal festival, Brutal Assault.

Part 3 of the series leading to next week's Pro Walk Pro Bike Pro Place 2014 expounds on a bold idea: impregnating the Glenwood Bridge with a bike/ped catwalk – such an addition has been called a "marsupial".The Glenwood Bridge, built in 1966, carries Second Avenue (PA885) over the Monongahela River at mile 5.9 (from The Point). The Great Allegheny Passage (GAP) flanks the river's south bank. At the north end, in Pittsburgh's Hazelwood neighborhood, the Duck Hollow trail dead ends where the bridge crosses railroad tracks. In the works is a plan to extend the Eliza Furnace Trail through Hazelwood to Duck Hollow. Currently the only proper trail crossing upstream of the Hot Metal Pedestrian Bridge is the wonderfully rehabbed Riverton (former railroad) bridge at McKeesport. Consultants for MOVEPGH, the city's transportation plan, recommended a bike/ped crossing at the Glenwood Bridge. (I believe the trail network would also benefit from a trail-to-trail river crossing at Homestead connecting to Frick Park and Squirrel Hill.)
The existing Glenwood structure is essentially a highway bridge, with a narrow sidewalk on the downstream side, and virtually no connections to the river trails. But the structural configuration appears to present an opportunity: build a pathway as a lower deck. Build a marsupial bridge.
In a nutshell, the existing bridge is referred to as a "deck-truss" because the deck (roadway) is supported by trusses – two trusses – one at the upstream edge of the deck and one at the downstream edge. The two trusses are connected by diagonal and horizontal cross framing.
When looking through the cross framing from one end of the bridge towards the other, there is a clear line of sight. I contend that it is possible – even feasible – to construct a pedestrian bridge through the cross frames. A Glenwood Marsupial Bridge very well may be the most cost-effective way to span the Mon anywhere between Southside and Homestead.Additional to the marsupial structure itself, the project would require access ramps at the north and south approaches, and a new bike/ped bridge over the railroad at the north end. The south ramp (to the GAP trail) would be a tall structure and would constitute a significant portion of the cost.
There are precedents. In Richmond, VA the Belle Isle Bridge over the James River hangs from the underside of US1. In Milwaukee, WI the Marsupial Bridge is suspended beneath the Holton Street Viaduct over the Milwaukee River. Happily, a group of civil engineering students in the University of Pittsburgh's Swanson School of Engineering are considering the Glenwood Marsupial Bridge as part of their capstone design project this fall. Dr. John Oyler teaches an excellent senior design course that tackles real infrastructure problems in the Pittsburgh area. In the past they designed structures related to the Hot Metal Bridge, Davis Avenue Bridge, Allegheny Commons Footbridge, and a Montour Trail crossing.
As the students' project advisor, I would guide them as they investigate questions such as:
- How will the Glenwood Marsupial Bridge work spatially?
- Can the overall structure support the required additional loads?
- Can local cross framing members support additional loads?
- Can the added weight be minimized by using a fiberglass-reinforced polymer deck (instead of concrete)?
- How would this crossing benefit the trail network and neighborhood connectivity?
- How much will it cost to build the Glenwood Marsupial Bridge and accessory structures?
- What questions or concerns might PennDOT have about the idea?

Men on the ropes campaign - Nigel Owens case study
Welsh International Rugby Union referee, Nigel Owens, 39, of Pontyberem,who tried to take his own life,said:
"I came from a very old-fashioned and very Welsh home, in a rural part of Wales – a village called Mynydd Cerrig. An only child, my mum was a housewife and my dad worked in the local quarry in the valley. I started playing rugby when I was 10 and by the time I was 16 I was regularly going to watch matches with my father, around the same time as my career in refereeing began.
I didn't realise I was gay until I was 19. Overweight and depressed, I developed bulimia. I didn't want to be this way. I suppose my low self-esteem was because I wasn't happy with myself.
My feelings of depression built up and up through my early twenties until at the age of 26, I tried to take my own life. It was a spur of the moment thing. One night I woke up at about 3am, I couldn't shake this feeling of shame and isolation. Leaving a note to my parents, I picked up a bottle of tablets and a shotgun, and walked out the house. I walked for a few hours looking for a familiar place. I went to the top of a mountain, where I used to go as a child, to see the view for the last time. After taking an overdose I fell into a coma. In the end my parents found my letter and called the police, who put up a helicopter to search for me.
I woke up in hospital, my parents were crying and all my friends were there. 'My God, what have I done?' were the first thoughts to cross my mind. I needed to accept who I was and once I did that I could get on with things.
Looking back there were people I could and should have turned to, but because I felt so ashamed I never tried. Men from my town would just get on with things; you weren't even aware men had problems. You would not see a man expressing his feelings. As children we weren't even aware there were issues men faced.
Men do find it more difficult to talk about their problems; they feel they have to shoulder things. I think if I had tried to talk to someone on that night, I might not have attempted to take my own life. That's why this campaign is so important; because it has the power to make men aware help is available and that they should use it."
Talk to Samaritans
You can talk to Samaritans at any time of the day or night.
Volunteers offer support by responding to phone calls, emails and letters.
Alternatively, you can often drop in to a branch to have a face to face meeting.
More information
This information forms part of Samaritans' latest advertising campaign targeting men, to get all men talking about their feelings. The aim is to get them to consider that calling Samaritans' 24/7 confidential helpline could be an option for them.
Equally, though, we believe that talking to anyone – family, friends, colleagues, health professionals – is better than bottling things up.
For more information about the campaign or the work of Samaritans please contact Sal Lalji, Media Manager, on email@example.com or call 020 8394 8342.

Many of these tips were published in an Extension newsletter more than ten years ago. Although there have been tremendous technological advances since then, many of the recommendations are still the same. Good horticultural practices generally don't change.
Vegetable garden tips
These remarks are only suggestions which may help to guide you through the growing season. Follow them as closely as you wish and always feel free to call us at the Cooperative Extension Service if we can be of any assistance. In January, you can start growing the following vegetables from seed to be transplanted into the garden in February - onions (seed, sets or plants), cabbage plants, radishes, rutabagas and turnips. The seeds can be planted in many different containers such as milk cartons, drinking cups, etc., but punch enough holes into the bottom of the container to provide good water drainage. Buy a small bag of commercial potting soil to use in your containers because it is sterile and a perfect soil for the seeds to grow fast into seedlings. Follow the directions on the seed packet.
Three major causes of pot plant deaths during the winter months are over watering, under watering and improper light. Water when soil is dry to the touch of your fingers. Pots without drainage holes will require water less frequently than those with holes. If soil becomes completely dry, place pots in the sink for a thorough soaking. Practically no living plant will survive in a dark corner of the room, although some require less light than others. Keep fertilizing to a minimum. It can promote excess spindly growth during these less than ideal conditions.
Understanding fertilizers
Have you ever wondered what the three numbers on a bag of fertilizer mean. These three numbers give the percentage by weight of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Nitrogen is important for leaf and stem growth and provides the rich green color in a plant. Phosphorus (derived from phosphate) provides for root and flower growth. Potassium (derived from potash) helps build plant tissue and aids the production of chlorophyll. A fertilizer is said to be complete when it contains all three of these essential nutrients. Examples of commonly used fertilizers are 10-10-10, 16-16, 16, and 16-8-4. An incomplete fertilizer will be missing one of these major elements.
For those organic gardeners cottonseed meal, blood meal, bone meal, fish emulsion and all manures make good organic fertilizers. However, the concentrations of actual nutrients are relatively low. They also help increase the organic content of the soil as well as improving physical structure of the soil and increasing bacterial and fungal activity.
Planting potted shrubs and trees
It is a great time to plant about any potted shrubs and trees. Shade trees are often desirable in the landscape for their shade and energy conservation characteristics. However, the wrong choice of tree may produce an undesirable neighbor in years to come. Consider the sweetgum. It produces a thorny fruit referred to as "gum balls" which are annoying in lawns. Maples exhibit good color but have a tendency to raise and crack pavement with their roots. Willow, poplar and red and silver maples are notorious for clogging sewer lines. Consider the specific characteristic of the trees you wish to plant. You may need to alter your location or choice to make it a good neighbor.

Police have appealed for a man filmed cycling past a suspicious fire at a historic Geelong church to come forward.
The heritage-listed, 103-year-old Presbyterian church was destroyed in the fire early last Friday.
Detectives investigating the cause of the fire have been told that a man, who is a potential witness, rode a dark-coloured mountain near the scene of the fire on Pakington Street in Geelong West, and stopped to watch the blaze for a short time.
He spoke with another man, who police have since interviewed, and then rode off just after 4.30am.
Detectives have released mobile phone footage of him riding past the scene.
He is described as Caucasian, about 182cm tall, and aged about 30. At the time of the fire, he was wearing a cap underneath his bike helmet, a black and white striped shirt under a blue hoodie, shorts and fingerless gloves. He was also carrying a light yellow or cream backpack.
Police have appealed for the man or anyone who can identify him to come forward.
A church elder has told 9NEWS the community has been devastated by the loss of their beloved building.
"It's hard to know initially what to feel - we know it's quite a significant moment for the church," Luke McSeveny said.
Anyone with information is urged to contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

Wherein I whine a little bit but then also turn it around for two tiny rays of sunshine
- We have been sick. Horribly, horribly sick. Weak in the knees, exhausted sick. Jack got it last week and I got a wee touch of it as well. This week Abby got it and I got it again.
- Much puking has occurred.
- Feeling this sick isn't fun EVER. Feeling this sick when the temperatures are rising in the high 30s and the house is not air-conditioned is much worse.
And now the little bits of sunshine:
- Our sweet friend Justin brought over a monarch chrysalis for us. Today it emerged. And I felt lucky. Lucky to have a friend like that and lucky to get to see a butterfly spread his wings for the very first time. Lucky, lucky.
- My husband has gone above and beyond during this bug. I marvel at his kindness. And I have NO idea how people go through stuff like this on their own. Seriously, tonight I likely would have locked them in a room and thrown food in there for them so that they would survive their night. Blessed I am.

SO i have something I would like to discuss. about 10 years ago I started taking photos of my friends, girlfriends and bands. I probably estimate the number of photos i've taken over the last ten years is in the tens of thousands. I also began taking photos of my more friends, touring with the Dtalkers, gatherings , BBqs, weddings, art openings, protests, concerts, etc.
But ive never made a single penny off my photos. I would like to know, what can I do with these photos to make money? They aren't fine art (whatever that is) - I mean, who wants to see Andy Animal singing Earth Angel w. Sky Saxon? Can I get like a dime for this? heres a photo of the Black lips when i saw them in a basement in Brooklyn.
So yeah, How do i get paid for this? Anyone wanna relive 2002-2010 for a nominal fee?
Ok. till I figure it out, im just gonna upload photos here.

atlas moth Coma Noir (splatter vinyl LP, £18.75)label: prosthetic
Throughout the bands career, The Atlas Moth, has evolved and expanded its sound, never remaining stagnant and always throwing the er a curveball. The results have continually been met with critical praise from writers, band members and fans alike. Coma Noir marks a few firsts for the band; its the first release for LA indie metal label, Prosthetic Records, its the first to feature Mike Miczik (Broken Hope) on drums and its the first time the band worked with an outside producer. On previous releases, the bands guitarist/vocalist, Andrew Ragin handled production duties. This time around, longtime friend, Sanford Parker (Eyehategod, Voivod) stepped in to steer the ship. An outside voice, one that the band was comfortable with, was key to channelling all the different elements the band brings to the table and keeping everything cohesive and concise. The result has fashioned The Atlas Moths finest album to date. While 2014s The Old Believer, saw the band gaze off into psychedelic realms throughout the album, Coma Noir is packed tightly with riffs and hooks. Its the band's most rocking album by far, though its far from being a rock album. Limited Clear / Black Splatter Vinyl.

text: Is tech innovation a boon for hedge funds? A recent study jointly conducted by KPMG, the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIFA), and Managed Funds Association (MFA) surveyed 100 managers of global hedge funds totaling US$300 billion in assets under management. Entitled Transformative Change: How innovation and technology are shaping an industry, it aimed to find out how hedge fund managers think their industry will be affected by technology, and what they are doing to ride the incoming wave of innovation. Results of the study showed 58% of respondents forecasting that artificial intelligence will have a "medium to high" impact on fund management over the next five years, with one respondent citing "a very strong business case for replacing humans with algorithms in a lot of areas of the business." It was also found that 32% of hedge fund managers polled already use predictive analytics to discover new trends and opportunities. However, respondents are not uniformly excited about potential developments in technology. The majority of participants showed little interest in using blockchain technology as a digital currency platform (although they are likely to be using it to provide faster and safer transactions). Sixty-seven per cent of managers who participated in the survey also predicted that automated trading technologies – which some say have caused inefficiencies and inequalities in securities markets – will have "some impact" on hedge fund returns over the next five years. Virtually all (94%) expect technology to affect competition over the next five years, with benefits anticipated from investments in various front-, middle-, and back-office functions. There seems to be more advanced application of technology among larger funds: funds that have AUMs exceeding $US5 billion are more than twice as likely to categorize their tech environment as "innovative and nimble" than smaller firms. Similarly, funds whose AUMs are below US$500 million are more than twice as likely to admit that their middle office technology is outdated. What are the top reasons for investing in technology at present? Topping the list at 90% is "improved controls and compliance," followed by "efficiency objectives" at 88%. Less significant are "investor expectations," "improved competitiveness," "cost reduction," and "reduced complexity," with 3% citing other reasons. As for the approach taken towards technology adoption, smaller funds with AUMs of US$5 million or below tend to prefer outsourcing, while funds that manage assets worth US$5 billion or more tend to opt for internal technology development. As for mid-sized firms, the study found a slight tendency towards using existing platforms and services.

Sunday, August 13, 2006, 10:52 PM - HacksHad this wonderful idea to make a free air duster out of an old chemical sprayer.
Kunz motivated me to do it after he showed me someone elses on hackaday.
This is the whole sprayer.
Lucky me that this comes with a air spicket built in, i can fill it up at any gas sation/ dad's house...
Reading the warning label on the side reveals that this sucker can safely hold up to 200psi! I was only abe to get it up to ~120 psi (due to the limitations of my dads air compressor)
The nozzle, i used to spray a fine mist, but i gutted it to make a nice stream of air.
The GO lever, makes the air come out.
All in all not bad for FREE! Yeah, it was broken and didn't hold air, but i fixed the seal and away i went. It doesn't hold a charge for a very long time, but hey, its free. I figure i visit my dad once a week, i can just fill it when i head over.

Now as its Diwali time. Every household in the country gearing up for huge festival ahead.
Same thing at my home too. Today had encountered some old lamp shades and some good shaped baskets which were made out of cane. We'd bought it from Belgaum. They're quite looking old and Mom was telling me to throw it off in garbage.
But, I love cane furniture and wanted it. As cane is a type of wood and our regular furniture is too made out of wood. It takes up polish on it. Same way I did; got a decent natural wood colored polish and used paint brush and polished it on all lamp shades.
They're looking awesome and shining now..
You guys having cane furniture can try this stuff and see new like, bright, shining cane furniture come back to life.

"Me too"
Recently, there has been a quiet explosion of women, in fact, women AND men who decided to break the unwritten code of silence to stand up and share that they have been harassed, molested, and raped. This comes after the revelation of yet another high powered man being accused of aggressively inappropriate behavior with countless humans.
It's interesting.
At first, we were horrified as countless high profile women pushed out of the shadows to share their scars. The buzz rippled through social media. Ordinary humans spoke about the news as if they were somehow related to these offenses. They mourned for those who had been harmed. The shock and despair seemed to turn strangers into a solidified group all holding hands to move forward.
and then….
the mirror turned.
Women and men alike began posting two simple words and suddenly they were part of a group that clearly no one would ever choose to be a part of. "Me too" adorned the social media profiles, reaching across platforms to inform and perhaps shock those around them happily ignorant of these horrors.
I witnessed day after day as my friends and relatives shared the words with courage and conviction. I continued to battle inside about my rightful place in these revelations. The last thing I wanted to do was to seem to jump on the proverbial bandwagon. Or maybe the last thing I wanted to was to open that door. Yet, that seemed to be exactly what should be done.
I have lived a good bit of my life thinking that if I had been stronger, less this, more that; none of this would have happened. I have blamed myself, hated myself and hidden my true heart. I have worked to bury this deep telling myself I was letting go and freeing myself of the darkness. Or have I?
Then all these strong and courageous people around me stood up with power and declared, "me too".
and still, I was silent.
I debated repeatedly and constantly what good it would do to type those words in my profile. I convinced myself that I wouldn't add much to the conversation and perhaps my words might even dilute the message. Yet, I read explanation after explanation about why it was important to stand up. I was surrounded people who live carefully as to never rock the boat were but courageously standing up. The reason for them to do so was sinking in. It horrified me. It disheartened me that it seemed nearly everyone I knew could recall a time where they were objectified, or harmed in some horrible way for the benefit of someone else.
So. here I am. Standing up with all who have gone before me to be counted. To stop the darkness and live in the light.
If we choose to face this and no longer accept this, we can stop it.
Thank you to each of you, who have gone before me. I am sorry for your pain, for your scars, for the darkness that you have until recently chosen to live in. As I step out of the shadow I am inspired by your courage and I know I am strong enough to say….
me too.

When overworked med student Will Edmonds meets carefree marathon runner Olivia Long, the attraction is overwhelming.

As Olivia takes him on a tour of New York City–her truest friend and soul mate–Will learns to live for the moment, confronts his life's choices, and falls in love.
But the question lingers: Where is she going? A startling revelation quivers on the horizon.

Police Science Program Survey: Research Note.
Colorado State Dept. of Education, Denver. National Origin Desegregation Project (LAU).
A study, involving two independent surveys and a transcript analysis, was conducted to determine the background characteristics, attitudes, and needs of students enrolled in police science programs at Moraine Valley Community College (MVCC). The first survey, which focused on personal characteristics and course enrollment data, was distributed in all police science courses in the early part of the spring 1983 term. Surveys were completed by 76% of the criminal justice (CRJ) students (N=200); 72% of the security and loss prevention (SLP) students (N=18); and at least 44% of the other police science students (N=177). The second survey was conducted in the middle of the term, focusing on employment history and needs, attitudes towards courses, and student characterizations of the program. Response rates were 54% for the CRJ students, 44% for the SLP students, and 15% for the other police science students. Study findings, based on the two surveys and an analysis of the transcripts of the first group of survey respondents, included the following: (1) 94% of the respondents were caucasian and 71% were male; (2) 77% did not have anyone in their immediate family employed in a police science related job, and the same percentage had themselves never held such a position; (3) 53% of the female respondents and 28% of the male respondents indicated that their career objectives had changed as a result of taking the police science courses.

Intro to Kayaking Class Overview
Cape Fear River Adventures is pleased to conduct hands-on training for folks who are new to paddle sports or for those who want to improve their skills, increase awareness while on the water, and learn more about the varieties of equipment available.
We spend about one hour on land talking about different types of kayaks, paddles, life jackets (also known as PFD - Personal Flotation Device), safety gear, clothing, transportation and other subjects.
Then we take a short break to eat a snack, stretch and prepare to launch our kayaks for the first time!
Once in the water, we practice entrance and exit techniques, different paddle strokes, and recovery from a capsized boat.
Please feel free to communicate to us if you have specific requests or topics you want to discuss, but keep in mind that it is an intro class and the material has to be relevant for everyone participating. In this class we do not cover rolling techniques, swift water rescue, whitewater kayaking and other more advanced topics, although these topics do tend to come up during on-land portion of the class.

Keywords: Wagner's law; co-integration; causality; government size; growth, OLS.
Wagner's law is predicated on a simple positive correlation between a nation's gross domestic product (GDP) and government expenditure (G). This has generated different interpretations leading to introduction and empirical examination of several versions of the law since the 1960s (FERDA, 2003). Several commentators on Wagner's Law (see e.g. Musgrave, 1969) have claimed that it is unclear whether the law of expanding scale relates to the share of government in national income or just to the absolute level of government. To Timm (1961), this alleged ambiguity is unjustified as thorough assessment of Wagner's writings, convincingly demonstrates that Wagner had the relative growth in mind. In effect,
(1971), Pryor (1968), Mann (1980), Goffman (1968), Gupta (1967) and Michas (1975). The final functional form is a Musgrave (1969) version, which expresses the share of government expenditure in gross domestic product (GE/GDP) as a function of income per capita (GDP/N) as follows:
GE/GDP= f (GDP/N) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- (1)
Musgrave (1969) version which was also adopted by Ram (1986), Murthy (1993), Henrekson (1993) and Hsieh and Lai (1994), appears to represent what Wagner had in mind in his proposition and has more or less gained universal acceptance and application. Thus, this paper will follow the same path to investigate the validity of Wagner's Law for the South African economy.
The basic thrust of Wagner's law is that the relative size of the public sector in the economy (G/DGP) has an inherent tendency to grow as per capita income (GDP/POP) increases. It is fair to say on balance that most of the time series studies have found the ratio-income-elasticity coefficients to be positive and statistically significant, by using
G/GDP + α + β {GDP/POP} + μi-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (2).
Thus, Wagner's law has been validated, particularly for countries in the process of transition from Rural-Agricultural to an Urban-Industrial one (Nagarajan and Spear, 1977)
However, Ziramba (2008) tests Wagner's law by analysing the causal relationships between real government expenditure and real income for South Africa for the period 1960-2006. The long-run relationship between the two variables is tested using the autoregressive distributive lag approach to cointegration suggested by Pesaran. He went further to use the Granger non-causality test procedure developed by Toda and Yamamoto, which uses a vector autoregression model to test for the causal link between the two. Evidence of cointegration is sufficient to establish a long-run relationship between
government expenditure and income. However, support for Wagner's law would require unidirectional causality from income to government expenditure. The study does find a long-run relationship between real per capita government expenditure and real per capita income and results for the short-run causality find bidirectional causality. Therefore on the basis of empirical results in this paper, one may tentatively conclude that Wagner's law finds no support in South Africa. The variables employed for this study appear not to be of universal application in testing the validity of Wagner's Law and the results of Granger causality test may not a sufficient bench mark in determing wether or not Wagner's Law is satisfied. On these notes, in this work we intend to employ econometric methodologies that has gained reasonable currency to test for the presence of Wagner's Law in South African economy both for the purpose of providing further empirical literature for South Africa and enquiry into existing results in this direction.
Empirical methodology
Model specification and estimation procedure
To investigate the relationship between government expenditure and economic activity, this paper adopts Musgrave (1969) final version of functional form of Wagner's law which examines the relationship between government size in GDP and real per capita income. This can be written in linear natural logarithmic regression of the form:
LGCYRt = ao + a1LYPCAPt + ɛ-------------------------------------------------- (3)
where ao is the constant term, GCYR is the share of government expenditure in GDP as adjusted for inflation, YPCAP the per capita income, ɛ is the stochastic error representation, t, the time trend and L, the natural logarithm. The variables are expressed in logarithmic form because studies by Khan and Ross (1977) suggest that in modeling an aggregate import/export demand functions, the log linear specification is preferable to the linear formulation. Secondly, slope coefficients of log-linear model measure the elasticity of a dependent variable with respect to explanatory variables (Gujarati, 1995) and this suits exactly what we need for testing the validity of Wagner's law for South Africa. The decision rule is that for Wagner's law to hold, a1 is expected to be greater than zero.
The estimation procedure adopted in this study is in three stages
i = z
∆Yt = a0 + gyt-i + a2t + S bj ∆Yt-i-1 + et ………………………………… (4)
where y is the series; t is (trend factor); a' is the constant term, et is the stochastic error term and P is the lag length. The Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) and Phillip-Perron (PP) unit root tests are employed to test the integration level and the possible co-integration among the variables. (Dickey and Fuller, 1981; Phillips and Perron, 1988).
j = 2
the system are co-integrated. The Engle-Granger procedure needs an estimation of the co-integrating regression equation. Thus, if there are n series, Yt1 . . . Ytn, the co-integrating regression is given by:
Yt1 = β0 + ∑ βjYtj + εt…………………………………………………………………. (5)
Residuals from the regression 3 are tested for the presence of a unit root using the ADF test. If the residuals, εt, from the regression are I (0), i.e. stationary, then variables are said to be co-integrated and hence interrelated with each other in the long-run.
(iii) Then we estimate equation 3 using ordinary least square (OLS) technique.
Empirical evidence
Summary statistics
Table 1: Summary statistics of employed variables.
Note: The test was performed using Eviews 6.0 econometric package.
Unit root tests
series are non-stationary and thus quiet suitable for purpose intended.
Co-integration test
Granger causality test
Table 4 in the appendix presents the results of the model estimation of equation 3, using ordinary least square estimation method (OLSEM). The coefficient of the real per capital income (a1) is greater than zero. With recourse to the Decision Rule, the results suggest that Wagner's Law hold's for South Africa in support of the outcome of the cointegration approach. According to the CUSUM test results (fig.1) in the appendix, the recursive residuals are within the critical 5% significant lines, which indicate the absence of structural change, and that the stability of the parameter estimates is verified.

Braised Tofu in Mushroom Sauce
Tofu and mushrooms are a great combination and this flavorful recipe makes for an easy weeknight dinner with Asian flavors. Serve over rice with a side of steamed edamame.
Braised Tofu in Mushroom Sauce
From The Gluten-Free Asian Kitchen
Serves 4
1/4 cup potato starch
2 1/2 Tblsp vegetable oil, divided
1 lb firm tofu, cut into 1 1/2 x1/2" cubes, drained on paper towels for 15 minutes
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 Tblsp fresh ginger, minced
1/4 lb shitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
1/4 lb green beans, cut into 1/2" lengths
1 Tblsp tamari (gluten-free)
1 Tblsp dry sherry
1/2 tsp sugar
1 cup mushroom broth (gluten-free)
Put the potato starch in a small plate. Season the tofu with salt and pepper, then dredge the two larger sides in potato starch to coat. Tap off excess starch.
Heat 1 Tblsp of oil in a large non-stick pan over med-high heat. Fry the tofu 2-3 minutes per side until light golden. Transfer tofu to a clean plate.
Heat 1 1/2 Tblsp oil in the same pan and add the garlic and ginger. Fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the mushrooms and green beans, cook stirring occasionally until mushrooms are soft, about 3 minutes. Stir in the tamari, sherry and sugar. Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
Add the tofu cubes, cover and simmer until heated through, about 10 minutes. Serve hot over rice.

Numerous articles, more than we care to mention, tell us that we've hit 'peak beard'. This is a fashion that reached its apex a year ago, or three, or seven – reports tend to differ as wildly as a moustache can bristle in the wind. The do's and don'ts of facial hair have received an equal amount of commentary, following our modern penchant for the scruffy/chic style combo.
As a result, facial hair in dating has involved a lot of hairy situations over the last decade, and continues to endure them. So let's jump into the debate, and part with some advice for men (and women) who are part of the tribe…
DO – Trim to perfection
We spend enough effort on slicking head hair to a winning mould, so why wouldn't you do the same for anything on your lips or chin? No-one's going to kiss you if that mouth is obliterated by a forest of black curls.
Trimming every couple of days, and a slight touch-up before you see your beau, will show that your facial hair is a defining factor of your look. An even cut is just what someone wants to feel as they run a finger over your cheek.
DON'T – Have mismatched colours
We've all seen it: the red-headed god, whose otherwise holy visage is punctured by a brown goatee that flexes when they speak, drawing attention to itself. Differences in colour between head and facial hair have to be very, very slight in order to skirt ridiculousness. Unless you have grey hair, and your beard is just catching up, there aren't many excuses for looking like an accident in a paint factory. So consider stocking up on dye to level things out.
DO – Stay casual about it
As we mentioned, sprouting styles on the face is hardly ground-breaking or unusual. Perish the hipster who thinks it's endearing to twirl their moustache as they talk; whilst facial growth can be a huge turn-on, mentioning it incessantly certainly isn't. Just be yourself and forget you have more insulation than the average human being.
DON'T – Eat sloppily
If your date's eyes are widening every time that soup gets within slurping distance, they're probably just fascinated by your eating habits, wondering how that chin-fluff can stay so clean.
You know, of course, that it takes a lot of practice, of staring in the mirror whilst you consume a taco as neatly as possible. Well, maybe not that far – but eating carefully is a must, and not doing so is tantamount to wearing a muzzle: that's how impossible they'll think a smooch will be at the end of the night.
Online dating comes with all the perks, quirks and intricacies of daily life, and facial hair is obviously a big attribute to get excited by. Those bearded, moustachioed people know just how attractive they can be, and popular taste is on their side for the foreseeable future.
But keep this advice in mind, because facial hair in dating can be a tricky business if you don't look after it. Once you get a FreeAndSingle account, free of charge, you can work on that grooming routine, teasing out an awesome style they'll love to stroke under the covers…

Face-saving act: Seema won?t go
The AFI says it has cleared Seema Antil after a hearing panel came to the conclusion that she did not violate any rules.india Updated: Dec 09, 2006 00:58 IST
Finally, theAthletic Federation of India (AFI) had to come out with a face-saving response on the Seema Antil issue — and what a way to do it!
The AFI, through a press release on Friday, exonerated Seema of doping charges and cleared her to participate in the Doha Games. But Seema, through a hand-written statement, expressed her inability to participate citing mental pressure brought on by her father's illness and the adverse publicity of the recent days. "I am not in the right frame of mind to perform well for my country and will not be participating in Doha," said Seema's statement.
The AFI said that it had cleared Seema after a hearing panel, constituted to discuss her alleged doping involvement, came to the conclusion that she did not violate any rules.
The AFI communicated the decision to the athlete on Thursday itself. Interestingly, the AFI released the statement on Friday. The statement read: "Refer to the alleged doping violation charges against Seema Antil, discus thrower, by the Dope Control Centre in Delhi.
AFI constituted a hearing panel as per the rule of International Amateur Athletic Federation (IAAF) and AFI. The hearing panel processed the hearing on fast basis and also called for all the records.
Based on the subsequent test carried out in the dope lab including Bangkok World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) accredited laboratory,the hearing panel is of the view that Seema Antil has not violated any rules."
With it end all speculations about Seema's participation at the Games — though the story seems far from over.

"OK so, the gas is on the right, right? No wait, left? No, the right is right"
Daddy helps Abby along in the beginning...
I love this picture...Daddy trying to keep Abby from hitting a tree and Abby looking oblivious to all around her :)
Little girl, big yard.
"Ummmmm, Daddy?!?"
A couple weekends ago we wanted to get Abby out of the house and run off some energy. So we took her to Fundaygo which is a warehouse that's filled with bounce houses and slides. There were only a couple other kids there so we were able to really play and have a great time!
Even Ada had fun jumping!
Even Daddy had a chance to go down the slides!
I don't know who had more fun, Daddy or Abby! Both had smiles that took over their faces!
I bought Abigail roller skates. Yes, I probably wasn't thinking straight. The cheap price tag probably was the main reason. But let me tell you - that girl loves them :) And my justification for them is that it's helping her balance and coordination. Yes, I know, far fetched but I had to have something :) (ignore the wild hair - she had just gotten into my hair goop)
