After visiting London in April, I declared that London was my "fashion-city soulmate." Well, the blog of London-based, street-style photographer Anne Bernecker confirms that declaration. Even better, the lovely Anne was so gracious to accept an interview for this post at Passport Smiles. So here it goes...
1) What inspired you to start this blog Fall 2009? Do or did you have a goal in mind for the blog?
I had just left my last job, started working freelance again and also just returned from an amazing detoxing holiday in Thailand. It was a period where I just wanted to do something for myself. I always loved people watching and also taking pictures and to start a Street Style blog just felt like the right thing to do. A project for www.wgsn.com where I was reporting from London Fashion Week and taking pictures was the last stepping stone into just getting on with it!
2) You are located in London. Are you originally from London? If not, where are you from? Why did you move and how long have you resided in London?
I am based in London, but I am originally from Germany. I was studying Fashion Design in Trier/Germany and came to London to do a work placement with some fashion designers. I fell in love with the vibe of the city, wanted to stay on and managed to get into the Fashion Course at Central Saint Martins where I finished my degree. Well and that was all around 15 years ago.
3) What are your favorite things about the fashion of London compared to other major global cities? Where is your favorite place to people watch/ take photographs in London?
I love all the personalities in London. People feel free to express themselves without just following trends or feeling like they have to look the part. This freedom of course is very inspiring. Most of the time I take pictures in East London, just because I live there and feel most connected to the people and vibe.
4) When I look at street style websites, I'm always curious about the play-by-play process of asking some random person if you can take their picture. Do you have any interesting anecdotes? Has anyone flat out refused or been rude? Are you ever nervous about asking?
Yes in the beginning I did find it quite hard to approach people on the street as I am naturally quite reserved with strangers. But it started to get a bit easier, mainly because so far I just had really nice experiences and you can just gain from being open to people. But of course you will hear a "No" from time to time and there are also days, where I just don't feel like approaching someone and then its best to go home again!
5) What have been some of the best benefits of blogging thus far?
Well doing something for yourself which you are passionate about is the best. Also always having a good excuse to go abroad, to festivals and other exciting events.
6) You always post photos of other people. but there are none (to my knowledge) of yourself. How would you describe your personal style?
Yes so far I have not posted a picture of myself. The blog really is more about my view of the world, how I see people rather then presenting myself. I would say my personal style is mixing classic elements with quirky and cool in a modern, reduced and German kind of way.
7) Have you ever been photographed for a street style blog?
Yes, but I can't remember which one.
8) On your website, you list that you are a fashion designer and Trend Consultant. Do you have a personal line? Who have been your favorite designers to work with?
I have been working with a couple of different designers and on different projects and it would be impossible to choose one. Well actually I used to work for my friend Markus Lupfer, so he will be my favourite designer to work for :+)
9) What's the most rewarding and (on the flip-side) the most challenging (or worst) thing about working in the fashion industry?
Well the most rewarding thing is being creative and seeing a collection or just one piece of clothing grow and develop. Of course a fashion Show is always a highlight once you and the fashion press can really see what you have designed. After a show there is always a sense of feeling tired and quite lost as you finished the season. Then everything starts again from scratch.
7) What are some of your favourite bloggers/ websites?
I do like the masters Scott from The Sartorialist, Tommy from Jak&Jil and Hedi Slimane's Diary. Apart from street style blogs I really like photography, so I enjoy the Photodiarist and Monochrome. And Passport Smiles [woohoo!] is great too and Rack and Ruin.
8) My blog "Passport Smiles" was really invented out of my passion for culture and traveling. So, about travel:
A) Where is your favorite place to travel and why?
My favourite place to travel to so far has been Thailand. I think I have been 4 times so far, with my trip to Kho Phanghan last year being the highlight. I did a detox and fasting program with daily yoga and pilates...yes deep down I am quite a Hippy :+) In Europe I always loved Italy where I also used to live twice and I just discovered the beauty of Greece.
B) To where would you love to travel? (somewhere you haven't been).
Next Year I would love to travel to India or Brazil and South America is still on my wish list.
C) Do you speak other languages (I've seen German on your site :) )
Languages, well German is my mother tongue, then English and also Italian.
9) Passport Smiles is also about finding the great places to go when you arrive in an unknown city. When I go to a city, I want to know where "the locals" go. So for London, where are you favorite places to go...
a) Shopping (local boutiques):
For clothes shopping Dover Street Market in town is the best and most inspiring in London. And I always find something at Browns Focus on South Molton Street. Locally in the East End Start Boutique is stocking great Designers like Vanessa Bruno, Sonia Rykiel, Markus Lupfer, See by Chloe, Acne and Margiela.
b) Eat (affordable, not too outrageous in price)
For food locally I go to Bistrotheque, Shoreditch House and The Grocers for a lovely organic vegetarian lunch. Isarn is a great for Thai food and also Basuba Thai.
c) Drinking (cocktails/ beer/etc)
Drinking is mainly locally at the Royal Oak on Columbia Road or the Scolts Head. If I feel like venturing west I usually end up at the Cow in Notting Hill which also does great seafood
d) anything else you want to add
For Art and Photography books I go to Artwords and Donlon Books on Broadway Market. For food locally I go to Bistrotheque, Shoreditch House and The Grocers for a lovely organic vegetarian lunch. Isarn is a great for Thai food and also Basuba Thai.
10) On my blog, I also post a lot about music. I've seen that your photos have recently been at music festivals. What are you favorite bands at the moment?
I am really into Fever Ray at the moment, Laura Marling for a more folky vibe and the Dead Weather for its raw energy.
Thanks again so much to Anne for the interview. Please check out her blog for some great photos!

Virtual and augmented reality products connect wirelessly with other devices and to the Internet. Many devices will use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth low energy (BLE) for connectivity. Others will interconnect with and sometimes enable fast data exchange with the cellular network. In the future, 5G connectivity will allow ultra-fast transmission and reception and enable applications such as robotics to have the computing power and fast connectivity needed for multi-sensing systems.
Cameras, displays, and sensors will play significant roles in these devices, and engineers will seek methods that can conveniently interface the components to deliver the required throughput while minimizing pin count, energy consumption, and electromagnetic interference (EMI). MIPI Alliance and its working group members have developed the required specifications to enable complete interfaces and efficient connectivity in high-end SoCs.
Designers can interconnect cameras and high-end SoCs with the MIPI Alliance Camera Serial Interface (CSI-2), which interfaces cameras in smartphones and can support a broad range of imaging solutions. Displays can be supported with the MIPI Display Serial Interface (DSI), which connects to displays in smartphones today. If a product needs routine audio features, audio sensing, or voice trigger capabilities such as a human machine interface, MIPI SoundWire can be used to support these attributes.

Cartoonist and illustrator with many years of experience
I'm a humorous illustrator with many years of experience. I've worked in editorial, books, and advertising. I enjoy working with clients and bringing warmth, humor, and style to their ideas. I also have a natural ability to create my own concepts based on articles, ads or manuscripts.
I originally began drawing humorous pictures (that's just how they came out) while growing up in Pennsylvania. I took my pad and pencil to Pratt Institute where I graduated with a BFA. I began my career while living in Brooklyn.
(If you want inspiration for drawing humorous pictures try living in Brooklyn for a while.) It's The Funny Borough. And it was close enough to Manhattan to find some serious clients.
In due time I got married and my wife Nancy and I had two terrific sons. We packed our bags (pad and pencil included) and headed for greener pastures…in New Jersey (another pretty funny place). We're currently living in Madison, NJ with our Jack Russell Terrier ( And need I say?….a funny dog.) My work has been chosen for The Society of Illustrator's Annual Show and The Best of The New York Times as well as winning awards at The New York Art Director's Club and The New Jersey Art Director's Club
Over the years I've illustrated over 20 children's books, numerous humor books for adults and award winning book covers for all ages.
Some of my earliest editorial clients were The New York Times, New York Magazine, Harper's Magazine and The National Lampoon.
I've illustrated ads (including campaigns) for IBM, Perdue Chicken, Alka Seltzer, USA Network, CBS, Master Card, and Newsweek to name a few.

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman says that the Republican Party has adopted extreme anti-immigrant positions to appeal to their base, "which is, by and large, elderly white people arguing with empty chairs."
During a Sunday panel segment on ABC News, Krugman pointed out that Clint Eastwood's bizarre conversation with an empty chair at the Republican National Convention last month was illustrative of the party's base.
"Arizona is a third Hispanic," conservative columnist George Will noted. "The Republican Party spent 20 debates in the primary competing to see who could build the longest, thickest, tallest, most lethally-electrified fence. And Hispanics said, 'I detect some hostility here.' And it's going to take a long time to undo that."
Krugman agreed that the GOP's move to the extreme right during the primary had hurt their standing with minority voters.
"The Republican Party is where it is because that's where the base is," Krugman agreed. "You watch that whole primary process, Republican candidates had to appeal to their base, which is, by and large, elderly white people arguing with empty chairs."
Tea party favorite Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) also lamented that the Republican Party had completely given up on winning certain parts of the country.
"So what I keep telling them is, maybe we need some libertarian-type Republicans who might be popular in those areas," he explained. "Maybe a less aggressive, more socially tolerant, but still fiscally conservative policy that that may be more libertarian might do better in California, might do better in Oregon, Washington, New England."
"Our problem in the presidential election is we've given up 150 electoral votes before we get started."

Time bomb for Biya: devaluation of CFA Franc
11 comments:
People like venturing into fields which are not theirs and on which they have no idea just because they want to express their stupid emotions. There will be no devaluation of the CFA Franc. It is the wish of some individuals because they want to see blood flowing in our countries. Their dreams will never come true.
- December 30, 2011 at 2:47 PM
Do not consider Cameroon in such cases as an independent entity, we belong to a world where the powers of the world are suffering from economic crackdown and the developing countries which depend on these powers will likely suffer from this pestilence. However, there will be devaluation of the CFA francs as announced by the Bank of Central African States.
- January 10, 2012 at 3:11 PM
We belong to a world which is suffering from a general economic earthquake that started in major economies of the world and it is obvious that Africa must suffer the consequences at some degree as the earthquake will spread.
You talk here as if the devaluation of the CFA franc is the fault of Cameroon or the other countries using this economy. If you want to count on this issue to expect Cameroonians to take the streets then you are wasting your time. Cameroonians are informed and they know the economic crisis is a pandemic and not the issue of a single country.
- January 16, 2012 at 5:04 PM
If you think the devaluation of the CFA francs will affect only Cameroon you are fooling yourself. The world is undergoing a violent economic earthquake and Cameroon is not on some other planet.
No victory was stolen in Cameroon, President Paul Biya won the Presidential elections with the massive support of Cameroonians. If you do to want to admit his victory then it is your problem.
- January 23, 2012 at 4:02 PM
The devaluation of the CFA Franc will not affect Cameroon alone but several countries. Cameroon belongs to a world that is suffering from a general economic maramus and cannot fully escape from some ulcers. There will be no devaluation of the CFA Franc as you wish because you want to see blood spill in our country and fire causing ravage. The governor of the Central African States Bank gave a press conference to reassure the various members of the Central African Community that there will be no devaluation.
- January 27, 2012 at 1:23 PM
As speculated and rumored by many, so far there has been no devaluation of the CFA Franc and the governor of the Bank of Central African States gave a press conference reassuring all member countries that there will be no such event.
- January 31, 2012 at 6:53 PM
There is nothing more to say about this rumour on the devaluation of the CFA Franc. It is now clear, there will be no devaluation. The governor of the Bank of Central African States gave a press conference reassuring all member countries.
There people who find interest in such a thing happening but once more will be disappointed.
- February 2, 2012 at 5:21 PM
Your hopes were watered down by the announcement made by the governor of the Bank of Central African States, who was clear on the issue of a possible devaluation of the CFA Franc; there will be no devaluation.Prophets of doom are disappointed once more and let them know, they will not be allowed to constitute and obstacle to the implementation of the major accomplishment project.
- February 7, 2012 at 6:37 PM
It is now clear, there will be no devaluation of the CFA Franc, those who have specialized in predicting the end of Cameroon should look for something better doing.
- February 20, 2012 at 6:10 PM
It is known by all that the governor of the Bank of Central African States held a press conference and announced that the Franc CFA will not suffer any devaluation and therefore watering down the hopes of some individuals who want to see Cameroon down because they expected uprisings and chaos in the country in case of devaluation.
- February 29, 2012 at 3:25 PM

Written by Alexandra Gribler, AmeriCorps Member proudly serving at Claiborne Elementary School
As a 22 year old deciding how to spend my first year out of college, I found myself asking the same thing. Many adults in my life were unaware what serving with City Year meant, as the education crisis in our country is often swept under the rug. When asked this by friends and family I would simply respond with "a year of service" but I had no idea what that entailed. This weekend I was sworn in as an AmeriCorps member, promising to get things done for America. Despite still having many questions about my year, this was an empowering moment. As I enter my second full week of school, I'm starting to grasp what being a City Year AmeriCorps member means.
Serving in a third grade classroom, I have the privilege of being the first City Year AmeriCorps member these students have worked with. The students I serve are full of excitement and curiosity about learning. They know that I work for City Year, but they had so many questions on what my purpose in the classroom was. These were questions even I couldn't fully answer yet. I decided to ask one of my students, Sarah*, a few questions to see what her perception of City Year was:
What is your favorite part about attending Claiborne Elementary?
"I think learning is my favorite part. I love when we do tests."
What is your favorite subject?
"My favorite subject is math because sometimes it is hard and sometimes it's easy. I always solve the problems though."
From what you've seen at school, what do you think City Year is?
"I think City Year just comes to help and learn to be teachers. I feel good about them because they help all the kids in the school learn."
What are you most excited for this school year?
"I am excited to learn more stuff like multiplying and dividing."
Though I am not learning to become a teacher, it put a smile on my face to listen to Sarah say she felt good about having us at her school. I look forward to the opportunity to continue showing these students what it means to be a City Year corps member and making better happen in our schools. I serve because my education empowered me, and I will use that to empower others. I may still have much to learn about being a City Year AmeriCorps member, but I know that I'm here to give students the education they deserve. My name is Alexandra Gribler and I am an AmeriCorps member proudly serving with City Year Baton Rouge.
*Student's name has been changed.

Crash Course to UFC 198: Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic
Everything you need to know about this weekend's UFC 198 fight between Fabricio Werdum and Stipe Miocic.
The heavyweight champion of the world, in boxing going back a century and in recent years in mixed martial arts, is traditionally viewed as The Baddest Man on the Planet.
But these days the alpha male among the big boys is being overshadowed. Fabricio Werdum is the UFC heavyweight champ, but he's not appearing in Hollywood action films or sipping Irish whiskey with the fight promotion's billionaire owners. To his credit, the 38-year-old Brazilian isn't making headlines with traffic incidents, either.
Then again, it's been nearly a year since Werdum took the belt from Cain Velasquez, and this Saturday will be our first peek at him since then.
When Werdum (20-5-1) takes to the octagon to defend his newish belt against Stipe Miocic in the main event of UFC 198 at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil, he will be seeking his seventh straight victory in his second stint in the UFC. He may not sell pay-per-views like Conor McGregor and Ronda Rousey, but the heavyweight champ sits above both in the pecking order of their sport. Werdum, a three-time world champion in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, ranks third in the SI.com pound-for-pound fighter rankings, right behind Jon Jones.
Miocic (14-2), who has won two in a row, is No. 3 in the SI.com heavyweight rankings (with only Velasquez separating him from top dog Werdum). The 33-year-old Ohioan has a well-rounded pedigree in combat sports, as a former Golden Gloves boxer and collegiate wrestler. He also was someone to be avoided in any bench-clearing brawls that might have popped up during his college baseball career.
In addition to the pay-per-view telecast of Saturday night's five-fight main card, four prelims will be shown on Fox Sports 1, starting at 8 p.m. ET, and the event's first four bouts will be available on the UFC Fight Pass streaming service at 6:15.
"I want my shot! Give me the shot!"
That was Miocic, standing in the octagon at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, yelling through the fencing at a cageside observer. The observer was smiling.
Dana White was smiling because he liked what he was hearing—the UFC president enjoys fighters letting the world know what they want—and loved what he had just seen. Miocic had just knocked out Andrei Arlovski in less than a minute.
It was the kind of performance that earns a guy a title shot.
Miocic originally was slated to get his shot in February, although it came via the back door. After Werdum's scheduled rematch with Velasquez fell through because the former champ was injured in training, Miocic got the call. But one day after the late-replacement matchup was announced, Werdum was hurt in the gym, too.
When the UFC rescheduled the title fight, the promotion stuck with Miocic as the challenger..

62.6: Percent of opponents' significant strikes avoided by Stipe Miocic, representing the third-best standup defense in UFC heavyweight history.

The Matchup
Werdum used to be a one-dimensional fighter—his ground game was (and still is) as sublime as they come, but he had no confidence in his standup. Over the last couple of years, though, he's sharpened his striking skills and has come to trust them. On Saturday night, though, he would be wise to not trust them too much.
Miocic is the better boxer, and while the margin of his supremacy might be relatively slim, the challenger would be smart to exploit that advantage rather than testing himself on the canvas against the champ.
This is not to suggest that the fighters should turn this into a boxer-vs.-grappler match, strictly speaking, but rather that each guy would be playing a dangerous game by getting away from his strength and testing the other guy's.
Miocic needs to utilize his wrestling defensively, fending off takedown tries ito render Werdum's virtuosic submission game irrelevant. And the champ needs to be sharp with his punches and kicks and especially his footwork, keeping his challenger from getting comfortably within striking range. Werdum can afford to mix things up a bit more than Miocic can, but his safest route to retaining his belt is via his world.
The Odds
Werdum is the favorite, with a money line ranging from -147 (bet $147 to win $100) to -175 (bet $175 to win $100) at various sportsbooks. The line on Miocic ranges from +125 (bet $100 to win $125) to +145 (bet $100 to win $145).
The Prediction
Werdum has lost only once since 2008, and he's looked better than ever in recent outings. But he's not set foot in the octagon in nearly a year, and in that time he's turned 38. Fighters age suddenly and dramatically, and while we won't know what Werdum has left until we see him on Saturday night, the hunch is that he'll look like an older fighter because, well, he is an older fighter. If his reflexes are slowed even a little, that would be troublesome against a guy with fast, potent hands. An upset wouldn't be a shocker. Miocic by KO.
Fighting Words
"Stipe Miocic, I think he's nervous when we go to the ground. This is no good for him. When it goes on the ground, I finish him." — Fabricio Werdum

iPhone: Computer in My Pocket
So why so long? Well, I didn't want to be one of those people who whips their iPhone out walking down the street or while they are sitting in a darkened movie theater or while they are at the dinner table. I am all for connectivity but is it necessary to check your email or text messages every ten minutes? The answer, I think, depends on your age. If you are a twenty-something, your life revolves around social networking. The expectation is that you are always online. Your friends want immediate responses. If you happen to be a little older, the fact that you can email someone when you get back to your home computer seems like connecting at light speed compared to growing up with snail mail. For the most part, my friends are not hanging out on line waiting for instant responses on where to meet up for tonight's social event. Social networking with yourself isn't very much fun.
I have also learned that most of my email is, well... , boring. I have signed too many email political petitions and now my mailbox is filled mainly with the seemingly-urgent Rant-of-the-Day from one action group or another. I am suffering from Rant Fatigue and mostly hit the Delete button. Having removed the political email, I next winnow out the Groupons and Living Social coupons. Most days, I don't need a Brazilian or a facial so those go in the trash. What's left is an all too meager number of real emails. So, I didn't get an iPhone to check my emails and text messages.
Why did I get the iPhone? I wanted a mobile Information Appliance. I wanted to be able to look up locations on Google Maps. I wanted to find a good restaurant with Yelp. I wanted to know the answer to some question using Wikipedia. I wanted to check movie reviews on IMDB. I want to know if it's going to rain in the next 30 minutes. Could I have done without any of those functions? Sure. I have done without them so far. But the ability to have a computer in my pocket (for that is what a Smart Phone is) gives me an odd sense of freedom. I can navigate through my day a little better. I can find the answers to questions I will surely forget to look up by the time I get home (senior moments). I feel...I admit it... hip.
I worried that I would become a slave to my new iPhone but, so far, I have surprised myself at how infrequently I check my emails (maybe for all the reasons I already mentioned). My iPhone just nestles down in my pocket ready to give me answers when I ask. Oh, did I mention Siri? This little artificial intelligence gnome is someone I want to get to know better.
Now, if you will excuse me, I need to check my iPhone. I want to know...

Who cannot identify with this? Or maybe you have to remember that once people wrote letters that arrived in your mail box, which was a solid object or a slot in the door or a box on a post, not a vaporous virtual concept in cyberspace. Is this constant connectivity, this continuous social networking that demands immediate response, is this a good thing? Well, that's a long debate that I'm not prepared to get into here, but the short answer is that it's good and it's bad—like lots of other things.
Rant Fatigue is a common ailment. There are more worthysan causes, more petitions to sign, etc., etc., than a person can deal with. In an attempt to keep my own I'm busily unsubscribing from all sorts of e-mail lists whose causes I support. I feel guilty about that, of course, but I'm learning to deal with it.

Hullo there folks, again, long time no useless information!
I'm just one big muddled mess at the moment, so things on the old blog front have been somewhat quiet. I'm pretty sure tumbleweed would have passed by if I had left it blogless any longer!
Anyhoo, I'm back with a lonely outfit post of a recent-ish 'me' make.
Nothing spectacular though, as like I said before, it was made by yours truly so one can't expect much! Having said that, I was pleased with the outcome... well, more so of the skirt than of the blouse, but hey ho, they are finished at least. ;)
(Oh gee, why oh why did I say 'lonely'? Now I have "The Lonely Goatherd" song in me noggin...)
Some of you may remember the skirt from my previous holiday blog (yes I will do the second instalment at some point!). It's a nice, easy to wear skirt, which makes a welcome change form my usual tweeds, and not to mention it's terribly girly to boot. I'm not really a girly, girly dresser (I've always thought myself as more of a sideboard... ok, I'll behave!), so I have no idea why I longed for such an outfit!
Anyroad, enough babble... to the outfit>>>
(warning: it's picture heavy!)
|T'was extremely windy outside when I took these, hence the wind tunnel look!
|Little miss girly-wurl.

1997 Geo Prizm 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
The turn signals have stopped working. I've checked the fuses and changed the flasher fuse, strangely the later was harder than it sounds. I've also checked for corroded connections while the fuse(s) where out. All other electrical systems are working, i.E, lights (high beams and low), dome light, radio, gauges, ect. Any other ideas before I start tearing apart the steering column?

Looking out for each other – Thames VTS officers retire on the same day
Ships on the Thames blew their horns to thank two men who have helped keep mariners safe on the river – as they made their last broadcast and retired.
Long-serving VTSO Brian Arterton and VTS supervisor Ray MacLean worked together as A watch at Thames Barrier Navigation Centre (TBNC) in Woolwich, south London, for more than 12 years.
Brian (68) joined us in the early 60s as a fresh-faced 16 year old, becoming a deckboy on tug Westbourne. He eventually became a deckhand, then a leading hand and was also a ship's mate for a short time. He also drove a dredging crane and was part of the PLA's now-defunct dredging fleet before leaving for pastures new in the mid-80s. He returned to the PLA fold in 2001 as comms officer, but a few years later became a VTSO at the world-famous barrier where he forged a great working relationship with Ray.
"My job, as part of the VTS team, involved making sure the navigation of river traffic at the Barrier and beyond was safe", Brian said. "It's a role I've enjoyed very much. We did our final broadcast on VHF, to tell vessels of any movements, from the barrier at 6.15pm."
Brian says his best memories working for us include helping out at the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant in 2012 and being part of the huge security effort that made the London Olympics that same year run so smoothly.
Ray (68), also a Gravesend resident, was Brian's supervisor and began life with the PLA in 1998 as a duty marine officer. Originally from Inverness in Scotland, he previously worked at the Port of Tilbury and also served in the Royal Navy and Merchant Navy.
He said: "I've made so many friends at the PLA and enjoyed the time I shared there, but it was the right time to retire. Getting up at 5am in the morning for work wasn't as easy as it used to be. And the commute wasn't getting any easier.
"Working with Brian for so long had its challenges. We were diametrically opposed when it came to politics, but the banter was always good and we'll remain friends and golf partners. He's better than me, but don't tell him that."
Brian carried on a fine Arterton family tradition of working on the Thames. Dad Arthur was a deckhand and later master on Westbourne, while grandad Ernest was a skipper on the same ship. And son Kelvin remains with the PLA, as deputy VTS manager.
Retirement for Brian will mean spending more time with his family, enjoying one or two Mediterranean cruises with wife Wendy and regularly beating Ray at golf. Ray says he'll be working on improving his French and pursuing other interests at the University of the Third Age.

Developing an online presence is a necessity.
However, you hesitate because: you hear it takes a lot of time or you are not comfortable with technology or you know your customers won't use it or they all know about your business already. Perhaps it a combination of these items and more. So why have an an online presence?
Yet if you are reading this, you are using that same technology. And if you look around, you will see mobile technology all over being used.
Let's not hide the fact though that the time needed for a large online presence can be substantial. This article clearly points out that fact. Yes, it really does talk about 12 to 104 hours per week just for doing search engine optimization of your web site. Such time is not even available in your wildest dreams. Perhaps if you didn't want to sleep…… And we haven't even talked about your social media efforts yet!!
But are you at that level? If so, then go for it. If not, keep reading.
So what can be done to build an online presence and yet control the amount of resources it takes?
These are my thoughts on the steps you might take. Others may disagree but this will get you started.
First, learn about the online world and the technology. Understand its place in a marketing effort. Then find a way to dip your toe in the water. Let me suggest the following steps:
- Learn about the online world and be ready to commit some resources. Take some classes about what this online world is at your Extension office, library, school, college, etc. Any time you are out, look at the people around you, they are probably online with a mobile device (and you may well be reading this on your mobile device). And ask how much you can carve out to commit to developing an online presence.
- Online starts off-line so talk with your customers. What are they doing online and how are they getting online? What would they like to see from your online presence? At the same time, see what your competitors are doing as well as other businesses in your community.
- Claim your bubble. You know, that little pin that shows where a business is located. Get listed in at Google business and other similar services. Correct inaccurate information. Google is the current big player but don't overlook other sites such as Bing and Mapquest.
- Check out the review sites where your business might be listed. Set up a plan for reviewing those sites on a regular basis. I would encourage at least a weekly review and a response to any negative reviews. A thanks to positive reviewers would also be a good idea. Now might be the time to consider how you can get more reviews. (15 minutes per week)
- Set up Google Alerts or some other means of getting an update, such as Twitter lists, Feedly or Hootsuite, to know when your name or the name of your business is mentioned online. You may also want to follow your key products, trends, or key industry informants (15 – 45 minutes per week)
- It's now time to take the next big step in your online presence. My recommendation is to build a website. The reason for that method versus something like a Facebook page is you control it. Social media sites are owned and controlled by others. If they decide to change, everything you worked for can disappear quickly. Your site can vary from something basic to very elaborate with shopping carts, etc. You can do it yourself or you can hire someone else to build it. Taking this and step 7 may require more help and training. This is also where your required time commitment will start to grow.
- Another big step – Now it's time to add social media perhaps including a blog.
You have covered the basics (Steps 1 through 5, and have moved on with items #6 and #7. The first five steps require a reasonable (dare I say small) ongoing time commitment, maybe as little as 15 minutes per week although I hope that you are getting lots of positive reviews that take time to read. Just a reminder, though, there is upfront time being spent to get ready.
At this point, you can look at social media advertising, search engine optimization, getting ready for mobile, and tracking your metrics.
The bottom line is you can begin an online presence without spending the hours suggested by that first article. And you can do much of the work yourself, even with the long days your business takes.

Counselling for adult children of divorced or separated parents
Many adult children of divorced parents find they struggle with painful memories of the past – like how it felt growing up apart from their father or mother, feeling like they had to choose between parents, witnessing arguments or being the go-between. These childhood experiences can mean difficult relationships with parents and siblings as adults, as well impacting on relationships with life partners and others.
In my work with divorced parents, I take care to highlight how children feel when families break up. Struggling with their own strong feelings, it is easy for a parent to misunderstand or not see the impact of divorce on a child. Experiences vary according the circumstances of the separation and level of contain maintained between parents and children but experiences of adult children often include:
- Hurt at feeling abandoned or rejected by a parent
- Anger as a result of being lied to, having wishes regarding residency and contact not being listened to and having painful feelings disregarded by a parent
- Lingering sense of low self worth and self esteem
- Trouble with trusting others because of broken promises
- A strong need to control others and events as a result of feeling powerless as a child
- Guilt at childhood behaviour as a result of not having firm boundaries and having too much power as a child
- Fear of the non resident parent, when parental alienation or hostile aggressive parenting has taken place
- Feeling jealous of a parent's new partner and envious of a parent's attention towards siblings and step siblings
- General confusion and sadness, feeling as if the ability to be carefree has been taken away
I can offer you a deep understanding of the impact of divorce, support you as you explore why you feel as you do and help you find ways to let go and move on from the pain of the past.
How to book and pay for a counselling session
"When I approached Sarah, I was at the darkest stage of my life, struggling to come to terms with my parents' divorce after forty years together. Throughout the difficult journey I undertook, with Sarah's help, her method and her challenging yet positive interventions were the most supportive, the most tailored and the most productive of any counselling which I had tried before. Sarah not only listened to me expressing myself, but offered me ways to interrogate the roots of my emotions and, importantly, helped me to find ways of coping with both what had happened and with what I might face in the future. I would not hesitate to recommend Sarah; her sessions were a lifeline and offered me the support and encouragement I needed to heal. My husband put it best when he said that Sarah's sessions gave him his wife back." EM

A Guide to Junior bridesmaid Dresses
By Brenda Jackson
Junior bridesmaid, which is usually somewhere between the ages of eight and 14 play an important role in marriage. But because they are usually quite a bit smaller than the other bridesmaid, flower girl, except it will be a junior bridesmaid dresses in their age group to reflect the still remaining wedding party look.
In most cases, wedding's guards are responsible to pay for their dresses, or in this case, parents want to honor, so the first thing you want to keep in mind as a thoughtful bride, is the price. Fortunately, today there are many styles, colors and designs to choose appropriate budget and a type of marriage, without discount, the search corridor.
Never forget the valuable resources you find online to find the absolute perfect junior garments, many of which are cheaper than you'll find on the shelves hung traditional bridal shops. There are many sales and discount bridesmaid dresses you choose will be incredible and a wide choice than you, that any store.
Junior bride always want to be in fashion and wear a dress or outfit that flattering and appeals to their age, and the best case, one is able to return to be worn on another occasion As for the next school dance.
Because many girls in this age group may be quite as advanced as the old participation, you want both style and neckline of a dress chosen to fill a frame. And instead of the traditional floor length gown, often "grown-up, however, I think, two piece ensembles that can be mixed and matched to the individual size and shape of each boy, regardless of age. It also offers the option of pieces of carry apart again in the future.
Stay away from strapless gowns. Which dress should be at least spaghetti straps or a feature of some sort of sleeve, or maybe even twist or wrap, depending on the formality or the general theme wedding. Select styles like cap sleeves, bell tower and three-quarter sleeves length sleeves.
Until the neckline on a shovel, square, V-neck or even a heart shaped style works well, leaving the plunging necklines for the older crowd as well as dresses with high slits up the side of an open back. Just remember that wealth is elegance with an emphasis on the beauty, but also modesty, that the topic at hand when it comes to shopping for a junior bride dresses and gowns.
And the final decision about the wedding party attire, of course, eventually, bride, it is always appreciated all the previous points into consideration when choosing bridesmaid dresses for the junior, all as fortunate as you when the big day finally came.

A little more than a year ago, AOL and Yahoo said they'd start using a service from a company called Goodmail, which would let marketers pay a fee to bypass their spam filters. The idea wasn't to allow spammers to get through by paying, but rather to let senders of legitimate commercial messages ensure their messages were received by AOL and Yahoo users, though that didn't stop the backlash. Now comes word that four more ISPs -- Comcast, Cox, Time Warner and Verizon -- will use the system (via Broadband Reports). While this will probably provoke another strong response, it appears to be a relative non-issue, and just a pointless service the ISPs and vendors are trying to sell. A Verizon spokesman notes that it will still whitelist companies' messages for free, but the Goodmail service exists "for those that want approval at multiple ISPs at once." Of course, the real solution would be just to get better spam filters that don't block so many legitimate messages, but why bother when you can charge for this sort of service instead?

gmailAnd that is exactly why I use gmail.
Well actually, no it's not, but it's one of the many, MANY benefits.
ehrichweiss, 7 Jun 2007 @ 7:10pm
I guess they never......used yahoo's lame mail. I have a ton of spam on my yahoo accnt, in the inbox not the bulk folder, so much that I rarely bother checking it any more. My gmail accnt on the other hand gets about 2 pieces of spam a year.
Mark, 7 Jun 2007 @ 7:25pm
Re: I guess they never...Only 2 per year? Unfortunately, I end up classifying 10 - 15 per day as SPAM. Same for my wife and several other google hosted Domain email accounts. While I think Google's SPAM system is better than most, it certainly doesn't block all but 2 per year for me.
Cesa, 8 Jun 2007 @ 3:06am
Re: I guess they never...I get about 10 spam e-mails a day, so about 3500 a year. Somewhere in the range 4-8 of those in my inbox, the rest in the spam folder. That's about 99.8% correctly classified spam, I doubt any filter can get much better than that.
I've used gmail since about a month or two after it was released, and during that time only two "real" e-mails were classified as spam, so that is quite impressive as well.
James, 8 Jun 2007 @ 11:08am
Re: Re: I guess they never...I get about the same number, but I believe most of it is from when you sign up to a website sometimes you forget to uncheck that little box that represents the "Do you want messages from our partners?" Gmail is good to use. Only one time, I got a phishing email that was setup as a bogus Paypal newsletter. First clue that it was fake was it addressed me as Dear PayPal User, authentic Paypal emails address you by your name.

COMCAST IS NO SURPRISEWhen I moved here two years ago I signed up with the the local cable co (ComCrap) since they are the only game in town (other than the nasty telco). I had my gmail acct and my wife still uses yahoo, so the 'default' comcast account although created has NEVER been used.
I see it every so often as I check the bill or something, now I guess I know why an e-mail address that has never been used can get 200 - 300 spam mails over the course of a month or two.
This whole idea is no different then when the telco's figured out that they could charge for the service they were providing for free (411).

Chris, 8 Jun 2007 @ 10:50amWait, what is 'legitimate commercial email' exactly? I don't want junk mail from major corporations any more than from start ups and scam artists.

Goodmail will ultimately become a spam support serAll companies like this inevitably succumb to the profit motive.
For example, Habeas (founded on a laughably stupid idea) was
accepting cash from spammers *the day they started* -- in fact,
they listed Topica (one of the Internet's most well-known major
spamhauses) as a "partner" on their web site (since quietly removed).
The same thing will happen to Goodmail, if it hasn't already.
The wads of cash from spammers like Constant Contact and
Doubleclick and Cheetahmail and Postmaster General will all
provde too attractive to turn down. And in the end, Internet
users will continue to be subjected to unrelenting abuse
from these scumbags.
We've seen this movie before. It always ends the same
way. There's no reason for this time to be any different.
Let me also not fail to note that one of the major ironies here
is that ISPs such as Comcast and Verizon are some of the
biggets spam SOURCES on the planet, due to their incredible
incompetence, stupidity, and laziness. Their inability to run
their networks properly is really a major factor in the overall
spam load imposed on the entire Internet.

04 March 2019 - Events
The gig economy is a hot topic at the moment. It refers to the working environment in which companies recruit individuals to work for them on a self-employed basis. Instead of being paid a salary, individuals are paid for the 'gigs' they do. Think Deliveroo and Uber.
The Guardian reported that the UK's gig economy has grown by 70% since 2010. It's a popular model believed to account for at least 15% of the UK workforce and it's expected to continue to grow as technology develops and demands change.
Why gig?
Flexibility. Individuals set the hours they work and can move around, taking their work with them. Gigs are often a flexible supplement to other income.
Businesses like the gig model because it means not having to pay salaries, offer holiday and sick pay, or maternity and paternity leave, and there's no requirement to provide pensions or other benefits. It also means companies can avoid being on the receiving end of employment-related claims, such as unfair and wrongful dismissal.
But parliamentary intervention may be on the horizon. The Work and Pensions Committee is conducting an inquiry into the wider implications of the gig economy in terms of the national living wage and the lack of national insurance contributions being collected by the Treasury.
Whats the downside with gigging?
Recently, cases have been brought by gigging individuals claiming they have workers' rights aligned with those of employees.
A worker is defined as an individual who enters into or works under a contract of employment (an employee) or any other contract to perform work or services in their personal capacity. Workers' rights can be implied by the reality of the working relationship based on a verbal agreement only – it doesn't matter if there is nothing in writing.
Where there's a contract, it's what actually goes on in practice that's relevant. If the contract contradicts the reality of the relationship, it can be completely ignored and ends up not being worth the paper it's written on.
Case in point Uber drivers and CitySprint couriers. Both companies positioned themselves as service providers that act as agent for self-employed individuals to run their own business. Uber claims to be nothing more than a technology platform, providing self-employed drivers with business opportunities and most definitely not a taxi company.
The employment tribunal disagreed. They found that Uber drivers are workers with certain employment rights. As it currently stands (Uber is appealing), this decision means that Uber drivers have the right to receive the national living wage and paid holiday. Not something Uber intended. The ramifications for Uber and other businesses operating in the gig economy are clear.
How can you reduce risk?
This area is likely to evolve as quickly as it emerged. Businesses wanting to reduce the risk should make sure that:
- Individuals can send someone else to do the work or provide the services in their place;
- Individuals can set their own hours and are not obliged to commit a certain number of hours each week;
- Individuals are not expected to work on an exclusive basis, and are permitted to work for other companies;
- The business does not exercise control over the individual;
- Contracts reflect the true nature of the relationship.

A number of Republican politicians and pundits have declared the US healthcare system "the best in the world". For the richest half of one percent of the population — like, say those Republican politicians and pundits — that might even be true. But how is it for everyone?
I've been wanting to graph this information for a while. I must be getting better, because I had the energy to pursue it today.
A crude but simple measure of how well a healthcare system works is how long people live - obviously, if you tend to die earlier, average lifespan is reduced. So what do the various countries get for their healthcare expenses?
I took data on healthcare costs from here, and data on life expectancy from here. The data is for the USA compared to a bunch of countries with some degree of public (i.e. government) involvement in healthcare (aside from just the elderly and veterans). The other countries are: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the UK.
I've seen it in words and numbers, but this makes the point very clearly. For the countries I had figures on, in 2004, the US paid more than twice as much in overall healthcare costs per person (adjusted for cost of living)... for easily the worst expected lifespan (2009 figures), almost a full year worse than the UK, which is easily the worst of the countries here (other than the US). Most of these countries manage to get more than two extra years per person average life span while spending less than half as much money.
I must be missing where the "best" part is.
Really, I don't think much more needs to be said.

In statistics, outliers are consided odd results and may be, if required, eliminated from the model. Clearly, under a statistical analysis of health care, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, and the UK are outliers and may therefor be confidently eliminated from the model. With those outliers eliminated, the US health care system is clearly the best in the world.

Surely, the cons know this. How could they possibly not know this? And yet stand there and repeat health insurance industry talking points. Isn't it their job to represent us?

Damian Electronics Inc. / Fraudulent activity
I was hoping the "data entry home based" job offer is real, this is the reason I have always sent back signed documents and my approval to start working with them, after their HR Dep. had "accepted" me. Unfortunately for them but good for me, I found out that they actually don�t exist, so neither does the job I applied for.
They offered 210 euros/week, 2 hours per day as an excel data entry operator, so i found it as a good opprotunity in the beggining, considering i already have a full time job.
I started to get suspicious when I found the following statement, it seemed that the same job responsibilities and offer were posted before by a different company (strange, right?!), immediately after that, I checked out your website and I realised that Gavin Inc (the name in the posted complaint) and Damian Inc ("employer" that had accepted me) are the same. The decisive moment that influenced my judgement about the existence of the �company� was when I received the Control Panel description document, asking me to pay the 70 euros. I am sorry but, considering the identified evidence, I cannot trust such �company�.
I am sending you the public complaint i read, the complaint was posted by a person tricked by them.
I also informed them that I will make sure people will not get fooled anymore: I posted another complaint on a public complaint website and announced Romanian Police about their current activity; sooner or later I suppose you they must find a better way to gain their existence.
Identified evidence (same happened to me, except i didn't pay 70 euros):
Gavin Electronics contacted me via email last Feb 07, 2009 regarding a home-based job as Customer Data
Entry. After numerous attempts of checking the validity and credibility of the company or website (
google-ing complaints or negative feedbacks), no particular page or complaint came up. The website
(gavin-inc.com) looked convincing enough to be genuine.
And so I replied and expressed my interest in the job, which claimed to pay 160 Euros per week on a 2-
hour per day job. The name of the person who sent me an email was Mr. Eladio G. Carlo, Branch Manager
of Gavin Inc in Torino, Italy. They required some documents from me which included an updated CV,
filled-out application form, education certificate, and work certificates.
Then after 5-6 processing days, they sent me an scanned acceptance form, agreement form, attestation
and even an employment id card, informing me that I was accepted for the home-based job. They
mentioned that the original copy of the previous-mentioned scanned documents will be sent via courier
within 8 days at my given home address. Then the last process required would be a deposit of 70 Euros to
serve as a cash deposit of a data entry control panel( to be used on the data entry job) to make sure the
correct person would receive the equipment.
It will be further refunded on the first week of my rendered service. After sending my deposit last Feb 23,
2009 via Western Union to a person named Dan Adrian Tulbure, Assistant Acountant of Gavin Elctronics
Inc. with the same address of the company, which was 583D Via Del Carretto Luisa Torino, Torino 10437
Italy. After corresponding to his instructions, Mr. Carlo replied with a receipt and he advised to wait until
March 4, 2009 to receive my courier of the original documents and the equipment.
As of today, I have not received any courier which made me decide to file a complaint against Gavin Inc.
Their website is no longer accessible ( Error 403 Forbidden to access on this server). And the email
address admin AT gavin-inc.com is no longer valid by sending failure notice every time I email them.
As of my further research, I have found information on this website link,
http://whois.domaintools.com/gavin-inc.com, which states the suspicious details of the website. I wish I
have seen this page before having fooled by Gavin-Inc. 70 Euros is not much, but if they can fool 1, 000
people randomly, that makes 70, 000 Euros which is a huge amount.
Maybe someone can identify them somehow and stop their fraudulent activity.
If not.. at least people can find true information online.

Monteiro, who played the role of Harleen Kaur in "Love Aaj Kal", has been cast despite her limited knowledge of Hindi.
"When I was looking for Aishwarya I wanted a face which made you say wish she was my love. Geselle has that quality. When we saw her at the auditions, this quality of hers came out in dollops. With her innocence and charm, she will make you fall in love with her," said Abbas.
On her Hindi Abbas said: "It was a problem. She said if you change the lines I don't know what I will do. Don't change the lines and give me the script in advance. She had practised her Hindi a lot. She trained under a teacher to get the dialogues perfectly."
The movie based on the play Graffiti directed by Abbas is about four unique lives trying to compete with the pressures of growing up and the firsts that we all experience in school.
"The youthful music and the freshness of the film is surely its USP," said Abbas. "I had done quite a few shows with Shah Rukh (Khan) and while doing the shows, I suggested that the play be turned into a movie. He agreed. I have cast fresh faces because I wanted to make stars than getting stars to act in my movie."
When asked to explain the title of the movie, the director said: "Today's teens think many things at one time. They always want to do them but only kabhi kabhi (sometimes) do them. They are always in love but kabhi kabhi they fight. The essence of the title and the movie is 'kabhi kabhi jo dil kahe always wahi karein' (always do what the heart says sometimes)."
The cast Zoa Morani, Ali Fazal, Satyajeet Dubey along with Monteiro and Abbas were in the city to promote the movie and they had a rocking time playing the interactive game of sketch charade with the audience.

I. The argument from disagreement:
1. People and cultures disagree extensively about what is right and wrong.
2. Probably, if moral judgments were objectively true or false, people would not disagree extensively about what is right or wrong.
3. Therefore, probably, moral judgments are subjective.
This is the flip side of the argument from moral agreement. I don't think theists or moral objectivists would find this a very persuasive argument. The objectivist can claim that there is a common " moral core" - as we saw in the argument from moral agreement. While I think the evolutionary view is better at explaining the existing variety of moral codes, the objectivist is free to interpret the same evidence differently.
(Michael Ruse thinks morality evolved, but is nontheless objective. His argument doesn't seem very coherent, though, as pointed out by Jason Rosenhouse.)
Another objection: the theist can argue that true morality only comes from an understanding or acceptance of his/her preferred god, and those who have different moral codes are simply wrong.
A more difficult challenge for the theist (specifically, the Christian) is to explain how moral codes change over time. Christianity accepted slavery as part of the divinely ordained order of things for more than 1000 years. Yet today most Christians would say that slavery is wrong. (William Lane Craig is one who bites the bullet and says that Biblical slavery was not morally wrong. He also defends Biblical genocide - which is why Dawkins refused to debate him. I'm not finding the link to his Reasonable Faith post about slavery (he calls it "indentured servitude"), tho.) So how is it that God-based morality was so much in error for so long? But theists have potential answers to this challenge, too. (For instance "continuing revelation" or an evolving understanding of God's will.)
Unfortunately for the subjectivists, this might be the strongest argument they have.
