1990: Canadian Diamond Excise Tax Is Dropped To Stop Diamond Smuggling
October/November 1998
By Martin Stone
Canadian diamond dealers are part of a vigorous lobbying effort aimed at repealing a ten-percent excise tax on finished gemstones which they say is stifling the growth of the industry.
Colleen Nayuki, a Montreal-based appraiser, told the Diamond Registry Bulletin she feels the federal Goods and Services Tax (GST) and various provincial sales taxes, which combined total a whopping 15 percent, on top of the Canadian excise tax of ten percent on jewelry, is definitely driving buyers away.
Jose Carciente, owner of Trans Universal Diamond Corp. in Montreal agrees, calling the three-tiered tax, "one of the biggest obstacles [to the diamond industry] in Canada." He bluntly pointed out, "There's no other country in the world where people pay 25 percent tax." He says that most Canadian buyers travel to New York to make their diamond purchases and he blames the high Canadian taxes. Trans Universal's biggest market is in New York and in Europe, Carciente says, lamenting that very little business is derived within Canada. He adds, "Canadians are investing in African diamond mines, but they are not buying diamonds in Canada."
As for the possibility of rescinding the tax, Carciente asserts it would be a lucrative "cash cow." He maintains that in Canada, "…we have the skill, the talent and the potential" to become a major diamond-trading capital but the current levels of taxation are driving the industry elsewhere.
Excise Tax History 101
Duncan Parker, president of the Canadian Gemological Association, explains that the excise tax was established in 1918 and applied to a range of so-called luxury items to help finance Canada's W.W.I expenditures. Over time, the tax was dropped on virtually all items but jewelry. "There's no excise tax on yachts, for example," he says. Neither is there an excise on furs, cosmetics or luxury cars.
Fighting the Law
That has become one of the main arguments of a lobbying effort that went into high gear in 1997. The effort is being led by Jonathan Birks of Birks Jewelers and the 800-member Canadian Jewelers Association. The lobbying, says Birks, is two-pronged. The first requirement is that lobbyists satisfy officials that valid technical reasons exist to justify a change in taxation. A 1997 report prepared by Ernst & Young was presented to Canada's finance minister, Paul Martin.
While Birks says that, "The CJA lobby campaign has resulted in increased awareness, understanding of and respect for the jewelry industry and the effects of the Excise Tax," Mr. Martin's 1998 Budget, delivered in February, did not include any tax reductions. The association is awaiting a decision by a government screening body as to whether a second lobby effort will be entertained in Ottawa. Experts agree, Birks argues, that following a repeal of excise, the government will receive larger return from taxes generated by a rejuvenated industry.
A Smugglers Holiday
Parker revealed that, "diamond smuggling has become endemic in Canada." He blames the excise. The fact that gemstones are small items, easily carried across borders, and the reality of the highly competitive market in Canada which has encouraged buyers to seek bargains has created a burgeoning "underground" market, he contends.
Birks says the association estimates the underground segment of the market is valued at about 1.5 billion Canadian dollars annually and that the excise on legitimate transactions generates about $50 million for government coffers each year.
Sellers who have acquired stones illegally can offer lower prices than their competitors who have paid the tax and that encourages smuggling. It is interesting to note that in the U.S., the excise on diamonds was dropped because a lucrative smuggling trade developed in its wake. In Canada, Parker laments, excise officials seem more interested in catching the avoiders than in considering a repeal of the tax.

From The University of California at Davis -
"This is a little bit dorky, but in high school I was really into this video game called Harvest Moon. You play a farmer who inherits his great uncle's land. You can grow crops like tomatoes, and pet the cows and milk them. Growing up in the suburbs, I had no idea what an actual farm looked like. The game created this image in my mind that farming was the coolest thing ever. It led me to check out the Student Farm and apply for an internship, which I received. Six months later, I changed my major to sustainable ag and food systems. It's funny to look back and think it all started with farming on a screen."

Since some of you have emailed to complain that you can't find the comp (sorry, I shoulda explained better before); others say they wanna know more about who these bands are; here's the deal...
Say I care too much, but we really put a lot of ourselves into Freeform KDVS, the fulltime FM and online radio station that exists for and because of its listeners, who are very often the same-level priorities-backward music-freaks as you and you, and other people here at TB. Punk- and thug-run since 1963, we are probably the best terrestrial-based online listening destination for fans of the new music of extremely wide variety and deep obscurity. Not meaning to brag, but that's the way that it is.
As incentive for you to support us, we give you thank-you gifts or premiums that are worth the money you pledge. As extra incentive for fans of the "weirdpunk," I made this "Newbie Friendly" 78-minute, 24-track CDR compilation of mostly new and some old songs that are either exclusive or exceedingly rare, and that you might not otherwise hear any other way. "Newbie Friendly" is free on top of any other premiums you select.
To view this gift, go to...
...then select "Freebies"...and you'll see it there.
To donate to KDVS online, and select "Newbie Friendly", go to...
...fill out form, pledge $25 or more, choose this freebie, and then choose any other valuable dollar-for-dollar premium you like otherwise.
You can also call the fundraiser hotline toll-free: (877) 399-KDVS
or (530) 754-KDVS
THIS WILL BE AVAILABLE THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT, April 22. (For $100, you can get 14 CDR comps handmade by DJs including many of our very best...It's worth it!)
(1) Der Submarine Racers "Cheap Date": Here's a made-to-order blast of blown-out sleaze that's exclusive to this collection. With their prospective label vetoing my proposal to include the outrageous "Space Burrito," the MySpace budget-rock rager of the year, I asked the band to provide me with any music that's not already slated for release on upcoming 7" vinyl. There was no such material, so the band offered to write and record a wholly new song. With gratitude, I replied that my timeline didn't allow for that, so they went right to work and emailed me this .wav file a day later!
(2) Wax Museums "Worm": These young and slovenly slobberers from Denton, Texas, play a preciously authentic brand of Angry Samoans and "Killed by Death" obsession as heard on their two 7-inchers so far. "Worm" is from the B-side of their 2006 debut EP, and this one will burrow its way into your brain like a devious little annelid.
(3) Doppelganger Squid "At War": In 1994, this North Carolina band made one delightfully scuzzy 7" on the obscure Waggletone label. All three songs are clever and great as examples of ultra-budget lo-fi weirdpunk that is made to sound good. Are my ears bad, or does these drums sound like early Chrome? A $200 pawn shop special, played in a style that is skeletal, yet nervously shuffling. Guitars are positively Tapewormian at times! Perhaps these guys were like a more metaphysically minded Sockeye or slightly psych-inflected Kill the Hippies.
(4) Toxic Attitude "War Crimes": I found this seven-song 7" record in a small quantity at Amoeba Records ten years ago, and I was immediately curious because of the campy hand-drawn cover of a mullet-dude guzzling a beer and the monkeylike print of the EP's title, "Stupid Teenage Music." The back cover had a xerox-degraded photo of the band with two of the members in their graduation dress, posing against the fence of the high school baseball field. The "fuck you" list included Violent Apathy and CH. 3. I just knew it had to be good, so I bought them all. What I found in the grooves was better than I expected...total last-brain-cell devastating puerile HC played at the edge of no control, but with a complete disregard for self-consciousness about zero musical talent and not-even-half-baked political rants. The best part is the ridiculous reverb drench effect that the singer uses to drive home certain choice lyrical passages. I'm guessing he controlled it with a foot-switch. When you hear this, you're gonna wonder why this hasn't already been made legendary on many mp3 blogs.
(5) Red Asphalt "Red Asphalt": Here's some highly dynamic synthpunk from a 1979 7" from a mysterious Bay Area band who also appeared on the "Live at Le Disque" 2xLP compilation. I know little else about them, but this sure sounds like the kinda proto-art/tweener-garagepunk that inspires such bands as Functional Blackouts, certain Jay Reatard vehicles, and the A Frames family tree.
(6) Talbot Tagora "Bent Boy Out": Here's the most promising sounds of young DIY Seattle featuring youngbloods who cut their teeth in bands like Mikaela's Fiend and Last Slice of Butter. The kinetic galloping pace and guitar angles of Abe Vigoda are evident here, but so are the raw mp3-maché and hooky melodics of the Intelligence, and while other songs from their self-produced "Volcano Girls" CDR album rock harder than this, "Bent Boy Out" sounds like it also delves into the best bands of the C-86 progeny.
(7) Skarekrau Radio "Kitty Swap": With their cult religion and mythology, SKR are at once kinda offputting freakishness and enrapturing, and sometimes even a great party band, such as on this song from last year's split LP with Jerusalem & the Starbaskets on Apop Records. If you'll pardon more of my lazy this-band-meets-that-band comparos, lemme just say that the obvious equation I hear is Bunny Brains plus Smegma.
(8) ...Worms "Woodfire (Autobahn)": The ellipsis is indeed part of the name of this Portland-via-Pullman quartet of self-described "ADD-riddled grizzled old men" (they're about the same age as me, I'm pretty sure). This song is from their four-song 7" that came out on Marriage Records a couple years back. Crispy Ambulance had a lyric that went "Caught halfway between the unsightly and serene" which sounded like so much proto-goth bullshit, but maybe they were foresaging this oddly compelling band. This one writhes (bass), rants (vocals), pummels (drums), and serenades (guitar) all at the same time, but all so effectively.
(9) Hiroshima Rocks Around "Closed Mouth": From Italy, HRA step on touchstones of AmRep-era pigfuck, hardcore, weirdpunk, and even skirt around jazz sometimes, and bring it all together in their own unique style. The flavor of AmRep is strongest on this particularly stout pounder which rides its insistent riff and deliberative rhythm like a tectonic plate into a subduction zone, and it creates just as much heat.
(10) KK Rampage "The Devil Is Here": What started as a decade-late-for-"Now-Wave" Chicago antics-rock with 20 unfinished tracks qualifying as an official CDR album improved in 2006 to become the most-improved band of the year. Yet somehow I knew from that first CDR I heard that I needed to pay attention and compartmentalize--if not toally shut out--all the haters in message board flamewars accusing these guys of registering fake profile to pose as ultra-fans. I fully believe these complainers were just upset over the band soaking the audience and throwing flour on them at a show during their formative days of antics being way ahead of song ideas. I asked them for permission to cull my favorite from their first fully awesome CDR-EP, but they insisted on sending a brand-new exclusive. It's a good one with a plodding powerful yet sexy rhythm and guitars skronking sideways, and for antics' sake, schitzo vocals swing from helium-rich to histrionic cro-mag.
(11) AIDS Wolf "Bethlehem Embargo Crystal": Montreal MySpace monsters turn out extreme-smack-talking haters and gushing lovers aplenty, and I'm totally on the posi side as this band and my radio show have a mutual love thang. I was hooked from the first listen because the music sounded like so much fun, and completely soaked in sweat. But just when the haters thought they had 'em pegged, the band added new dimensions, growing more psychedelic and rhythmically and stylistically adventurous...sometimes even settling the chaos to dwell in some lushness, as you can hear on this exclusive offering.
(12) Arthrose Aujourd'hui "Slept in Again": Vancouver's chapter of French weirdpunk's Oreille Equitable "Triple Alliance" (including Cheveu, Crack und Ultra Eczema, A.H. Kraken, and others) translates to "Arthritis Today." When the band's psych anesthesia attack locks you into stupefied traction, you may become so crippled as to not even twitch a joint. But lock away the Icy Hot and enjoy the ride. The band is two members of Ladies Night plus a French guy who's soon to return to home. I vote for arthritis today, and for at least a few more prolific months. Do you know that sleazy feeling of waking up past noon for days and days and days, even as you try to break the habit? This song captures that perfectly.
(13) Factums "Split Screen": This Seattle band are a cousin branch on the A Frames family tree with membership directly descending from the Intelligence and Popular Shapes. Their sound is not too unlike a cross between the droll DIY transistor artpunk of Boredom & Terror by the Intelligence and early Bruce Haack proto-electronica, perhaps also spiked with the more experimental edge of the British DIY music of the late 70's and early 80's featured on the Messthetics series. A release on Siltbreeze is slated for later. Dig the raddest, iciest keyboard riff since Head & the Hares covered "Lost."
(14) M.A.L. "Seven Minutes to Midnight": Michael A. Lucas--yes, that Mike Lucas--made a couple albums in the early 80's released under his initials of dark, brooding experimental rock that's something like Factrix with a 60's psych fascination, especially on 1981's Compendium Maleficarum LP, the album which includes this ultra-creepy song about incest sung from the point of view of a perverse father.
(15) Little Claw "Wayward Chief": Probably my favorite new discovery of the last year or so, this Detroit band almost slipped past my radar long enough to sneak their first LP past me, but fortunately I got a hold of the songs due to appear on their second LP, which will be out soon on Ecstatic Peace, and now I just want everyone to be ready for their onslaught of caveman pounding, scrawling psychpunk guitars, and the stunning performance of a female singer with delicate yin and ferocious yang in her voice, and her guitar playing. And sometimes it's all yang and no yin, and that's when Little Claw has the power to crush you.
(16) Drivetrain "Time Is of the Essence": If this sounds even slightly like Dead Moon to you, then you won't be surprised to learn that (a) this guitarist/singer and bassist/singer are a husband/wife tandem, (b) the drummer Louis Sambora was earlier the drummer of Fred and Toody Cole's pre-Dead Moon band, The Rats, (c) according to the record sleeve, when the van needs repairs, the old man would rather fix it himself than hire a mechanic, and (d) the record was released in 1988 on the Coles' own Tombstone Records. And, of course, this song is a great example of simple, honest rock 'n' roll that is essentially timeless!
(17) Superstitions "Hell on My Heels": Last year, I discovered a new world of young teen and early-twenty-something budget-rock appreciators that were--if barely on the edge--part of what we non-Southern-Californians have come to know as "the Smell scene." These guys are still into releasing a bevy of limited CDR and cassette releases, spackled in paint and glitter just like their DIY dayglo noiserock Smell friends, but they worship the Mummies and Trashmen like no one else born between 1975 and 1985, excepting the teenage Donnas. Erupting from the O.C.'s arm of this microscene came Party Fowl, whose ignited surf-trash-thrash showed incredible promise early. Now, Party Fowl's fully awesome, and the first band I'd recommend for a budget-rocker label honcho. Blew me away at the live show! Yet, I was not ready to be bowled over by the so much more mature sound of Seth from Party Fowl's one-man-band project, Superstitions. On his debut cassette, No One Gets Out Alive, I hear the traditional one-man-band set-up played well, like King Louie, but hybridized with another of Seth's fascinations, the Country Teasers. I hear it in the deliberate rhythms, his voice, and maybe even the lyrics...what I can make out anyway. Between this and Junkpile Jimmy, Orange County must be at the forefront of awesome one-man-bands.
(18) God's Gift "No God": From the Buzzcocks' New Hormones label comes something altogether unlike the Buzzcocks in every way except that certain unmistakable Englishness. Around 1979-80, God's Gift made this 12" and a 7" on the label before, I presume, fading into oblivion. Ungooglable, their story remains a mystery to me, but their completely dessicated plodding twangy postpunk is quite the rewarding test of patience, and again, not unlike the Country Teasers.
(19) Dogbite 65 "We're Going to Tassle City": This Portland band was (still is?) a side project of Buck Rothy and Zack from Danava, and formerly Princess Sweepstakes, who became Danava after Zac Nelson moved down here to Sacramento and later started Who's Your Favorite Son, God?, and that's some crucial recent KDVS history that we'll be bragging about for the next decade or two. Buck and Zack made this three-song CDR-EP called "Motorbike Poop" with help from Zac Nelson on raucous, ridiculous background vocals. Musically, this reminds me of something you'd hear on the Nuf Sed or Brinkman labels about 15 years ago...psychedelic weirdpunk taking some cues from Thinking Fellers Union Local 282 and maybe a couple from Caroliner, too. Ramp the progfactor to a stylish medium/high level for that final fugue. Shoulda been a vinyl-bound keeper!
(20) Slicing Grandpa "Fence": Seattle's supreme slingers of evil lofi dungeon drone drive a hooky bassline. Now, don't think boring 'cos I said drone. Writhing, scrawly, and creepy, their scuzzy noise reveals a great sense of humor. Not everyone will appreciate the joke, because of course it's very twisted and misanthropic. But if you have the heart for black comedy, and especially if you reach again and again for Shadow Ring records when you wanna let the laffs rip, then you oughta get to know Slicing Grandpa…and while you're getting familiar, also check out the related Kount Fistula, another branch of the Tractor Sex Fatality family tree of bands.
(21) Deathgleaner "Life With Lice": Tons of teens these days dress up in the tight girljeans, eyeliner, and assymetrically screenprinted undersized shirts, and this is the uniform to enjoy some overproduced screamo-goth-metalcore amalgam with a five-word band name that glorifies pain and agony. But not Griffin. This teenaged noise phenom originally from Kansas City but now skating between Portland and Olympia has an incredibly mature handle on just what agony should sound like. I'd say that this particular track (taken from the "PDX Artix 2006 Mix-Tape") compares well with some of the best material by Prurient. The ominous prelude reveals patience far beyond his ADD-riddled generation's normal capacity, and the convulsive derangement of the possessed itch-fest crescendo is just plain scary. You will be scratching at little burrowing phantoms in your beard, yet Griffin's probably too young to grow one! The idea that he may improve with age is perhaps the only thing scarier than this song.
(22) German Shepherds "Booty Jones": If M.A.L.'s incest song wasn't enough to turn your stomach, you might still wanna brace yourself for this song, which I can only assume is an autobiographical song about pedophilia. The voice you hear is that of a man who killed himself awaiting trial for child molestation charges. The prosecution would have been really smart to introduce this song as evidence. The defense could've also used the disorienting synth sounds and gloomy bassline and trembling voice--a'la early Cabaret Voltaire--to build a case for insanity. Truly courageous stuff, even if it's totally repulsive.
(23) N.213 "Revenger": Nic Hughes is best known to most of you as the singer/guitarist of Shearing Pinx and the drummer of Channels 3 & 4, who have been two of the most exciting Vancouver bands of recent years, but he's still got enough time and spark between all that to be in no less than two other bands of high quality, AND also have his solo project, N.213, which is unmistakably Nic for the most aggressive sounding delayed vocals you might ever hear. You hear it in Shearing Pinx, and you hear it on this solo track which was taken from his "SX-79" CDR album on his own ultra-prolific vanity label, Isolated Now Waves. There's a lot of variety among the several N.213 releases, but "SX-79" was very much a dark electro or dark-wave sorta thing, essentially very authentic but with an icy no-wave edge.
(24) Men/Eject "Draw": I've gotten two different stories about who this band was, but they remain a mystery. The sleeve of this 7" from 1980 had no band or label information, but the grooves contain some of the most compelling dystopian bleakness and alien-weird almost formless synthpunk I've ever heard.

Thanks for the comments about Gods Gift. Perhaps that oblivion we faded into is likely to come back and haunt! There is a retrospective Gods Gift CD due for release by Hyped2Death in the Summer. The title is Pathology and a bit more of our history will be known.
Great site BTW.

'More cosmopolitan, more lively, more global' is how the China Daily summed up the year 2016 in China. It was also a year of more control. The Chinese Communist Party laid down strict new rules of conduct for its members, continued to assert its dominance over everything from the Internet to the South China Sea and announced a new Five-Year Plan that Greenpeace called 'quite possibly the most important document in the world in setting the pace of acting on climate change'. The China Story Yearbook 2016: Control surveys the year in China's economy, population planning, law enforcement and reform, environment, Internet, medicine, religion, education, historiography, foreign affairs, and culture as well as developments in Taiwan and Hong Kong.
The China Story Yearbook 2016: Control will be launched by Senator Dean Smith, Senator for WA. The launch will feature an in-conversation with the contributors of the Yearbook.
Kent Anderson is an international lawyer who specialises in comparing Asian legal systems. He joined the University of Western Australia as Deputy Vice Chancellor (Community & Engagement) in 2014. He has an eclectic background, having completed tertiary studies in US, Japan, and the UK in Law, Politics, Economics and Asian Studies. He also worked as a marketing manager with a US regional airline in Alaska and as a commercial lawyer in Hawaii. Before joining UWA, Kent was Pro Vice Chancellor (International) at University of Adelaide and before that foundational director of the School of Culture, History and Language at the Australian National University. Kent is on the New Colombo Plan Advisory Board, the Board of Canberra Grammar School, and the Board of the International Education Association of Australia.
Jane Golley is an economist focused on a range of Chinese transition and development issues. She is the Deputy Director of the Australian Centre on China in the World, The Australian National University, and head of the China Numbers research stream.

Huntington's disease (HD) is a dominant autosomal neurodegenerative disorder caused by an expanded poly-glutamine (polyQ) tract within the amino-terminus of the huntingtin (Htt) protein, whose cellular function remains controversial. To gain insight into Htt function and uncover potential HD pathogenic mechanisms, epitope-tagged Htt was purified from HeLa cells and Argonaute (Ago) proteins were identified as Htt-interacting proteins. Agos have been shown in part to localize to discrete cytoplasmic foci known as P (processing)-bodies. Proteins involved in small RNA-mediated gene silencing, translational repression, mRNA surveillance, and mRNA degradation accumulate with their bound mRNAs at P-bodies, where their destiny is determined. Co-localization studies demonstrated Htt to be present in P-bodies. Furthermore, depletion of Htt showed compromised RNAi-mediated gene silencing, indicating that normal Htt contributes to post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Analysis of mouse striatal cells expressing endogenous mutant Htt showed fewer P-bodies and exhibited reduced gene silencing activity compared with their wild-type counterparts. These data suggest that the previously reported transcriptional deregulation in HD may be attributed in part to mutant Htt's role in post-transcriptional processes. The association of Htt with Ago2 and the localization of Htt to P-bodies provide new and compelling evidence connecting Htt with the post-transcriptional control of mRNA abundance and P-body integrity. It is hypothesized that Htt functions as an Ago accessory factor necessary for the regulation of protein levels through RNAi-mediated mechanisms or translational repression/mRNA decay pathways associated with P-bodies. Neuronal RNA granules have been described to be involved in transport and translational control of neuronal mRNAs. A recent study reported the presence of P-body proteins in neuronal granules in Drosophila. It is tempting to speculate that Htt is involved in neuronal RNA granule function, which may be perturbed by mutant Htt, contributing to specificity for neurons in HD. In this proposal the role of wild-type and mutant Htt in post-transcriptional processes will be investigated with a focus on RNA- mediated gene silencing. microRNA reporter assays and functional tethering assays in mouse striatal cells and Htt knockdown or knockout cells will be performed. The distribution of P-bodies in striatal cells as well as in primary neurons expressing endogenous wt or mutant Htt will be determined by immunofluorescence. The purification data indicates that wild-type Htt preferentially associates with Ago2 while mutant Htt associates with TNRC6B, another component of P-bodies involved in gene silencing. It is hypothesized that the Q-rich domains of mutant Htt and TNRC6B contribute to alterations in P-body function. The Htt-TNRC6B interaction will be examined using the yeast two-hybrid system. mRNAs and miRNAs associated with Htt-Ago2 complex will be purified and identified by cDNA microarrays and TaqMan miRNA assays and their biological function as new targets of Htt will be investigated. These experiments should provide new insights to previously uncharacterized role of Htt in post-transcriptional pathways and help to uncover new pathogenic mechanisms that contribute to HD.
Huntington's disease (HD) is a devastating disease that strikes patients in mid-life with symptoms such as motor neuron dysfunction, cognitive and psychiatric disturbances that worsen with age. There is no cure for HD and currently available therapies are of limited use. Better understanding of the functions of the disease-causing huntingtin protein and the pathogenic mechanisms involved in the early stages of HD would permit identification of new targets for therapeutic intervention. Furthermore, studies suggest that other neurodegenerative disorders caused by poly-glutamine expansion may share similar disease mechanisms. Thus, studies on HD will likely contribute to the molecular understanding of many diseases of the brain.

SHARE your big data scientist. They're too costly and rare to keep a whole one – HP exec
Pool the, er, 'shared resource' across channel partner base
Big data is on the strategic priority dashboard of every enterprise tech firm, but coughing a potentially princely sum for skilled people to talk the talk in complex projects may not be commercially viable for some in the channel.
It's the age old issue of when to invest in a specific practice, one that Sue Barsamian, HP Enterprise Group senior veep for worldwide indirect sales, is trying to tackle for those interested in analytics.
"At some point," she told El Chan, "partners will need to get a data scientist on board. Data scientists are very expensive people so we are talking to our distributors about how we could pool them across a number of resellers in order to smooth the investment required to build a big data practice".
A quick trawl on online job boards finds that a chief data scientist at big social media organisations can pull in $175k a year in compensation, while freelancers can be offered up to $200 an hour.
Barsamian's team is currently profiling the partner base in a bid to ascertain the numbers and types of partners crying out for some help.
The Vertica product, which provides analytics for structured data, is an area described by HP as "white hot" - individual product sales are not broken down in quarterly results - so it needs channel partners fired up to act as its feet on the street.
Resellers standing backing off service and support to certified distributors is not new, resellers often plug a gap in their portfolio but the dynamics involving a data scientist are different.
And as one contact pointed out, if there's one thing resellers hate doing with each other, it's sharing resources, particularly if a data scientist develops IP on a specific project which is then made available to the wider community.
"They won't want to share expertise," he said. "The more likely scenario is that a handful of system integrators will develop true big data capabilities. The rest will simply sell hardware and software".
Data volumes are set to rocket, with 40,000 exabytes of raw information estimated to be stored by 2020, according to a report by McKinsey.
The research stated a "talent revolution" is required to "train tomorrow's… big data analysts".
MGI Research stated that within four years there will be a shortfall in the supply of data scientists totalling 190,000 people, as well as 1.5 million managers and analysts that are able to disseminate reams of data. ®

Twins Make Late Comeback But Fall In Extras To Rays
The Twins rallied in the ninth to tie their Grapefruit Leage game against Tampa Bay Sunday, but lost in extra innings.
Minnesota's Mitchell Boggs hit a three-run home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to spark a Twins rally to send the game into extra innings, where Minnesota lost 10-7 against Tampa Bay Sunday in Fort Myers, Florida.
The Twins scored five runs in the bottom of the ninth to come back from a 7-2 deficit.
Jamey Carroll was 1-2 with a run batted in, Justin Morneau went 1-3 and Joe Mauer finished the day 0-2.
Liam Hendricks got the start for Minnesota. The Australian walked one and allowed one run on two hits in two innings of work.
Two Twins pitchers heading for the World Baseball Classic were hit hard for the Twins. Brian Duensing allowed three runs on four hits in one inning of work, and Deolis Guerra took the loss after allowing three runs in the tenth inning.

The Pharisees were a group (possibly consisting of scribes) which originated sometime around the Maccabean revolt (that which drove out Antiochus Epiphanes, in 164 BC) and whose focus was to exercise moral pressure on those in power, to influence the masses and uphold a high standard of purity. They, like many Jews at the time, believed that the ruling regimes from the Hasmonean (Maccabeaen) family since its triumph in 164 BC to the Herodian dynasties (from 37BC onwards) has been unfaithful to the covenant God by, among other things, ignored ancestral traditions and compromising with Gentile oppressors. The Temple administration was viewed with much suspicion and as long as Israel was under the heel of a pagan army, no governing leadership would be considered genuinely heaven-sent.
The Pharisees' strict observances on matters of purity needs to be understood as an expression of their belief that God would in the future vindicate His true people from the present corrupted regime, and that His people – the true Israel – would be identified by their faithful observance of His Law.
"Faced with social, political and cultural 'pollution' at the level of national life as a whole, one natural reaction…was to concentrate on personal cleanness, to cleanse and purify an area over which one did have control as a compensation for the impossibility of cleansing or purifying an area – the outward and visible political one – over which one had none…Ceremonial purity functions almost as a displacement activity when faced with the apparent impossibility of national purity…(and also) as a means of symbolically enacting that resistance to pagan rule which was nursed secretly and maintained in readiness for revolutionary opportunities…" (New Testament & People of God, pg. 187-189)
Important: There is good evidence that the Pharisees, contra popular evangelicalism, did NOT believe in 'salvation by works' (this applied to the Essenes as well). Their intense practices were meant to reflect or express – not earn! – their status as the true people of God whom God will rightfully restore when He came again in power to bring Israel out of exile. This is similar to the Christian understanding of 'good works' as merely demonstrating or 'accompanying' (see Jas 3:17) faith in Christ, not meriting it.
It should be noted that the Pharisees were involved (at times substantially) in revolutionary campaigns against Rome but that most significantly they served as a political pressure-group constantly lobbying the administration to adhere to Israel's traditions as they (the Pharisees) understood it.
The Sadducees, by contrast, were the chief priests and lay aristocracy who were installed by the Roman government, primarily for the purpose of 'keeping the peace' between Rome and the (often discontented) Jews. They, unlike the Pharisees, had few links with Israel's heritage and, unlike the Levites, were not from the ancestral line of priests. On the other hand, they probably stemmed from Jerusalem priests who traced their ancestry from Zadok, the priests of Jerusalem who served both King David and King Solomon. So, Meier:
"These sons of Zadok seem to have controlled the Jerusalem temple and the high priesthood from the time of the rebuildingof the Jerusalem temple (ca.520-515 BC) after the Babylonian exile down to the disruption and revolt caused by the Hellenizing policies of Antiochus IV (reigned 175-164 BC). The victory of the Hasmonean family and their assumption in due time of the high priesthood meant that a priestly family that did not claim to stem from Zadok now occupied the supreme priestly office." (Meier, Rethinking the Historical Jesus Vol.III, pg. 394)
The high priesthood was eventually back (more or less) in the hands of the Sadducees, however, because they – a grouping of the sons of the displaced and/or discredited Zadok with their priestly and lay supporters - managed to gain the support and membership of a Hasmonean leader, John Hyrcanus I. This :
"(enhanced) the Hasmonean high priest's patina of legitimacy, while the Sadducess could regain some power. It was a holy horse trade. The Sadducees (could be conceived as) a religious movement and a political party, made up mostly of old-time aristocratic priests and laymen, focused on Jerusalem, its temple, and its high priesthood." (RHJ3, pg.395).
And Wright again:
"…(the chief priests) form in the first century a kind of permanent secretariat, based in Jerusalem, wielding considerable power…unlike the ordinary priests, they formed the heart of Judaism's aristocracy…it was with them that the Roman governors had to deal in the first instance, holding them responsible for the general conduct of the populace." (NTPG, pg.210)
The Sadducees were the ones who controlled the Temple which, being the economic and political center of the country, represented their power-base. The Temple provided religious legitimation to their status granted by Herod and the Romans.
Now a brief look at resurrection…
The Pharisees' affirmation and the Sadducees' denial of resurrection needs to be understood in the context of what 'resurrection' meant to first-century Jews. The idea of resurrection involves the vindication of the true people of God from the present time of exile (that first-century Jews believing themselves still be in exile, though still debated, is most likely given that they were being ruled by Rome i.e. pagan oppressors[!], Israel's God had not yet returned to Zion, the covenant not fulfilled, etc. See NTPG pg. 268-272).
'Resurrection', then, was associated with nothing less than the end of exile.
"Resurrection', while focusing attention on the new embodiment of the individuals involved, retained its original sense of the restoration of Israel by her covenant god. As such, 'resurrection' was not simply a pious hope about new life for dead people. It carried with it all that was associated with the return from exile itself: forgiveness of sins, the re-establishment of Israel as the true humanity of the covenant god, and the renewal of all creation." (NTPG, pg. 332)
"(Resurrection) will constitute Israel's salvation: after the long years of oppression and desolation, she will be rescued at last. (Resurrection will also) constitute Israel's vindication (or 'justification'): having claimed throughout her history to be the people of the creator god, the resurrection will at last make the claim good." (NTPG, pg.334)
"By the first century, 'resurrection' had functioned for a long time as a symbol and metaphor for the total reconstitution of Israel, the return from Babylon, and the final redemption. Ezekiel 37 spoke of the return in terms of Israel being awakened out of the grave; the Maccabaean martyrs, as presented in 2 Maccabees…spoke of their own forthcoming resurrection in the context of claiming that their god would vindicate his people against the tyrant… resurrection, in its sense of the restitution of a theocratic Israel, possibly under a Messiah, would mean the end of (the Sadducees') precarious power." (NTPG, pg. 211)
Resurrection therefore implied that the then-ruling government and Temple regime were evil and destined to be overthrown when God acts to save His people, which is almost exactly what the Pharisees were waiting for (and occasionally presuming to 'jump-start' with the endorsement of revolutionary campaigns) and what the Sadducees, being part of the governing regime(!), was diametrically – and thus doctrinally – opposed to. For the former, resurrection when it occurs would 'prove' their status as the true people of God. The Sadducees, on the other hand, had to reject any idea of resurrection because it would mean not only that their present power-status would be cut short in the future but that they were also, in fact, God's enemies. The last thing they would want is a major upheaval to cancel out their power/privileges.
(The Sadducees' rejection of the resurrection could be doctrinally attributed to their resistance to any authority apart from the Pentateuch which, arguably, does not explicitly affirm a belief in rewards and a life beyond death. Nevertheless, one could wonder if their interpretation of what the Pentateuch implied about postmortem existence wasn't colored by the discomfort to their situation of alternate views. E.g. see Mark 12:18-27)
In a word, the Pharisees' and Sadducees acceptance and rejection of resurrection respectively probably had much less to do with metaphysics than with politics.
Before wrapping up, I decided to throw in yet another key Jewish group…
The Essenes were probably a community that lived in Qumran (by the north-west shore of the Dead Sea) and the possible writers of the acclaimed Dead Sea Scrolls. The origins of the group can be traced back to the Hasmonean (Maccabaean) period, where members of a growing sect saw began to doubt the legitimacy of the ruline regime and saw themselves, again, as the true representatives of God over and against those in power. Their activities were mainly non-revolutionary, being limited to occasional prophetic announcements; communal life was regulated by strict laws of purity and proper observance of all Jewish festivals and sabbaths. Even pen and ink, Wright tells us, "…were used in symbolic in the service of Israel's god. Even the scroll jars themselves acquire…a profound symbolic value: these writings are to be kept safe through the present tribulation, so that when the day of vindication dawns they may again be read." (NTPG, pg.205)
Similar to the Pharisees, the Essenes (or simply the Scrolls writers, as Wright cautiously put it) saw themselves as God's elect in whom He was secretly working and whom He will vindicate when He finally cleanses the Temple, fulfils His promises, restore true worship, put back the right people in power (which involved, of course, defeat over Israel's pagan enemies which included the regining Jewish authorities) and bring redemption to then-unredeemed Israel. When the resurrection happened – and the Essenes, seeing themselves as the recipients of God's future eschatological benefits, naturally believed it would – members of the sect, having shown their faithfulness to God during the exile, would be reestablished as the true Israel.
The table below gives a hasty (though hopefully insightful) summary and comparison of the three groups above:
Influence of group
Minimal influence
Widespread public influence but very little 'official' power (somewhat like modern journalists who exert 'moral pressure' on the significant members of the ruling community)
Strong political and religious power
'Badges' of membership expressing themselves as God's true people (who awaited divine redemption from exile)
Prayer and piety
Ceremonial purity and intensification of study/practice of Torah and its regulations
Not applicable.
Belief in resurrection
Yes. And they will be shown to be the true people of the covenant i.e. the true Israel.
Yes. (Same as the Essenes)
No. Because resurrection means that another 'true' Israel will replace them.
Belief in 'fate' or 'free-will' (the need to hasten the restoration of Israel e.g. through revolutionary activity)
Fate (according to Josephus).
Socio-Political significance:
God will act in His own ways and time and is, in fact, already acting secretly through them and their quiet devotional practices.
Middle position between fate and free-will (according to Josephus).
Socio-Political significance:
Even though God will act, He will require human agents/instruments (this is why Pharisees have often shown support for violent rebellion against Rome).
Free-Will (according to Josephus).
Socio-Political significance:
God 'helps those who help themselves' and their position confirmed that. It is also the 'flip-side' of the coin which implies that God will not act restoratively in the future or, if He does, not in a manner detrimental to the present temple administration.
The last row – in addition to providing a neat close to this essay - describes Josephus interesting labeling of the groups' supposed stances with respect to human freedom (as part of his effort to make the groups resemble Greek philosophical schools with abstract metaphysical commitments). Clearly there can be no separation between the groups' position/praxis in the socio-political reality of Israel and the Hellenistic categories into which Josephus assigns them. Wright sums it up nicely:
"The Essenes proclaimed by their very mode of existence that, though they longed for the liberation of Israel, they were simply going to wait and allow Israel's god to bring it to pass in his own time. The Sadducees proclaimed by their very existence that they believed in seizing and maintaining political power for themselves…Reasoning in parallel, we may take it that the Pharisees' belief was as follows: Israel's god will act; but loyal Jews may well be required as the agents and instruments of that divine action." (NTPG, pg.200-201)
Into such a turbulent clash of praxis and outlook our Lord emerged…with His radical agenda of defeating God's enemies… of forgiveness and inclusion for anyone who would take up their crosses for His sake…of fresh new life for those who would live and manifest His redefinition of what it means to be the people of God…stay tuned (smile).

Comics and biography go particularly well together. There's something about the narrative of a life-story that seems to "click" with the particular sequential approach of comics. The event-by-event sequential approach of a biographical photographic essay is fine – but the way in which comics layout can be manipulated to expand, contract, compress and emphasise particular elements or motifs can really add shape and form to a biography.
I'm not a blues fan per se, but I love the biographical comics of well-known (and not-so-well-known) blues musicians, drawn (and mostly written) by Gary Dumm [American Spendor, Students For A Democratic Society, etc. ] and featured on the Music Maker Relief Foundation site, and originally in the Music Maker's Rag newsletter. Dumm's panels demonstrate how informational comics can seamlessly skate between "infographic", "illustrated-text", "cartoon" and "comic". Looking at a collection of individual biographies, an overarching sequence becomes apparent: a comic made up of comics.
The question: when is a comic not a comic? – which I think people studying informational comics and graphics often ask – seems here to be pretty much irrelevant. It's the underlying understanding of a "comics approach" to not just the individual biographies, but to the overall project that seems important – not whether or not a specific work has a requisite number of panels, or features speech-bubbles, or whatever.
Lydia often describes "Applied Comics" as comics that have a job to do. How a creator gets that job done – how they manipulate the comics tradition, how they adapt, expand, contract, compress and emphasise particular techniques or elements of comics' visual language is what adds true shape and form to a comic. As in Dumm's blues biographies, successful elision infographic, illustrated-text and panel-by-panel sequence is what helps bring the informational content of applied comics alive.

But we thought we'd go old-school and get some real-life response from real-life developers outside Moscone West, where the conference is taking place this week.
No one was surprised by Jobs' announcements, but they were plenty excited, especially about the lower iPhone pricing, which they say will help get the device into more consumers' hands. They were also excited about Apple's new iteration of its .Mac service, MobileMe--although the name certainly didn't roll off their tongues.

This is one of the most delicious sweet and sour sauces I have ever had, however, the balance of sweet vs sour is very much a personal matter, so you may wish to adjust the ingredients to strike the balance that suits you.
1/3 cup flour
1/3 cup cornstarch
1 tsp egg replacer powder (I used Orgran, or you can get Ener-G in the US)
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
just under ½ cup (125 mL) warm water
- First combine the flour and cornstarch in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Then stir in the egg replacer, and vegetable oil.
- Now slowly add the warm water, mixing with a fork or small hand whisk as you do so, until you have a smooth, thickish batter – however, it should still be able to fall off the back of a spoon. Cover, and place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, you can prepare your sausages.
6 vegan sausages (I used Linda McCartney), pre-fried and chopped into chunks
approx 2 Tbsp (30 mL) soy sauce (I use Clearspring organic – UK or US)
vegetable oil for deep frying (a few cups)
1 cup (250 mL) freshly squeezed orange juice (1 used 1 large juicy orange)
¼ cup sugar of your choice, or agave nectar
2 Tbsp soy sauce (30 mL) – Clearspring organic – UK or US
¼ tsp salt
1 Tbsp cornstarch, premixed into a paste in a small cup, with 4 Tbsp (60 mL) cold water
1 heaped Tbsp vegan instant tomato soup powder (optional)
2 drops natural red food colouring (try Dr Oetker US, or UK)
2 heaped Tbsp thick tomato ketchup
15 chunks pineapple (I used Del Monte brand) and set aside
¼ cup pineapple juice (reserved from can)
2 tsp (10 mL) freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 medium green pepper, chopped into 1 inch pieces, and set aside
1 large white onion, chopped into 1 inch pieces, and set aside
1 red chilli (optional, if you wish to make this dish hotter)
- First, fry your sausages until they have a little colour. Then remove from heat, allow to cool down, cut each one into about 5 pieces, and marinate in a little soy sauce in a bowl, cover and place in the fridge.
- Now it's time to make your sweet and sour sauce.
- Blend all the sauce ingredients (except the chopped vegetables and pineapple) together in a mixing bowl, using a hand blender. Pour into a small saucepan, cover set aside.
- Chop the green pepper and white onion into approximately 1" pieces, and set aside in a bowl, covered, in the fridge. Likewise, decant your pineapple chunks into a bowl, cover, and place in fridge.
- Next, preheat your oil in a deep pan in readiness for deep frying your sausage pieces. You will know it is ready when you immerse a tiny piece of sausage, and the oil starts to bubble.
- Then dip each piece of sausage into the batter mix, making sure to cover it completely from all sides, and then place on a large dinner plate. When ready, pour any remaining batter over the top of the sausages on the plate.
- Using a metal strainer, place around 3 or 4 sausage pieces on it, and immerse them gently into the hot oil, ensuring you don't have more than about 8 pieces in the pan at a time. Deep frying should take around 4 minutes, but do test one piece to ensure the batter has become crunchy on the outside. Be careful not to overcook it though. Your judge should be your taste and the visual. Prepare a large plate, by placing a piece of kitchen roll on it, and as you take each piece out, place on the kitchen roll to drain off any excess grease. Continue this process until all the sausage pieces are fried. Now place your sausage pieces in a small ovenproof dish, and place in a warm 120 C oven, to ensure they remain warm.
- Meanwhile, on a very low heat, heat up the sweet and sour mixture in a small saucepan, and mix with a small hand whisk or wooden spoon, until it thickens.
- When the sauce has thickened, stir in your pineapple chunks, and leave on the lowest heat setting.
- Next, deep fry your green pepper and onion pieces for 1-2 minutes, before removing and placing on a piece of kitchen towel on a plate. These should remain raw but hot, as they need to retain their natural crispiness.
- Preheat a large glass or porcelain serving dish (you can do this in the microwave for a couple of minutes). Gently stir your sausage pieces, green pepper and onion mix, into the sweet and sour sauce mix, before transferring into your preheated serving dish. Feel free to garnish with some roasted cashew nuts.

Hi Miriam quick question. Do u thinking can omit the 'batter' bit as I'm not a big fan of deep-fried food. I am going to give it a go tonight. Let u know how it goes! Thanks
crystal Says:
February 22nd, 2013 at 6:55 pm
Any ideas on what I could replace the "meat" with due to allergies?
Miriam Says:
February 23rd, 2013 at 11:20 am
Crystal Hi there. I think you are going to have to google and call your health food stores locally to find out what meat substitutes are sold in your area/country ! You could buy frozen burger meat (vegan of course), thaw that and roll into balls – just an idea. Do let me know how it goes as and when Crystal. Best wishes your way in the meantime !

Debbie Hi there. I am not a fan of any batter and don't like most I have tasted. I can say with much confidence that this batter is an awesome one as far as batter goes – once a year won't hurt Debbie and it will make a big difference to the outcome of this dish. The texture/batter and the sauce are the 2 components that make or break such a dish – I do hope you try it with the batter – do use absorbent paper to get rid of the excess oil – it really does work and the dish is not complete without it. BTW my batter is not like conventional ones that creates a thick yucky coating on the 'meat' but rather a thinnish one that gives a wonderful texture to it, you can see this from the pic. Do let me know how it goes and enjoy !

Hi Miriam Debbie here again. After all, I followed your recipe as above and it turned out beautifully! Lovely Friday night meal – thanks (:

going to try this over the weekend! I'm not a fan of pork flavor ~ have you ever tried it with tofu or a faux chicken or seitan substitute??
Anne Says:
March 8th, 2013 at 12:17 pm
Do you have a date yet of when your cookbook will be out? Can't wait to get it!!
Miriam Says:

Anne Hi there and thanks for your interest in my book, here is my link for pre-orders on Amazon for you
Best your way in the meantime ! 🙂

Anne HI there – the 'pork' sausages that we get here are great, and knowing they are 100% plant based doesn't worry me. That said, it will taste great with faux chicken or seitan too. Let me know how it goes as and when if so. 🙂
Sharron Says:
March 17th, 2013 at 5:42 pm
Hi Miriam – loved this dish. I didn't use any food colouring and I used Faux chicken and it turned out beautifully. Another one for the keep folder 😀 Hope you are having a great weekend.
Miriam Says:
March 18th, 2013 at 9:50 am
Hi there Sharron, am so glad you tried and enjoyed this delight ! You really are busy in that kitchen of yours, preparing awesome food !! Great stuff ! 🙂

March 18th, 2013 at 12:12 pm
This recipe is AWESOME! Thanks so much, I also left out the food colouring and used faux chicken, which worked really well. Thanks so much, it is definitely one I will use again and again, much nicer than takeaway dishes! x
Miriam Says:
March 18th, 2013 at 3:35 pm
Right you are Lauri and so glad to hear that you like'd it so much – it is definitely better than take out, and being able to make it vegan too without compromising the taste is an even greater bonus ! Look forward to your future comments on my blog !

I made this today using VBites Lincolnshire sausages. It is amazing with rice. Thank you Miriam!

Helen Hi there and thanks for your feedback – so glad you enjoyed this dish, I bet you really enjoyed it with the rice ! 🙂

I've just looked here now and see you have a recipe for sweet and sour using sausages(Fry's though, it's got to be Fry's!). I shall try this at some point too, although I am happy with the battered marinated tofu, pepper and carrot as well.
I cheated on the batter and used a tempura mix. I've read that it is very low gluten so you can't ruin it. I thought that was a good idea for a first go!
I see you use vegetable oil. I used a mixture of rapeseed and seasame oils which gave a nice taste. 🙂
Miriam Says:
July 8th, 2014 at 11:50 am
Hi Simon, I have'nt tried the Fry's sausages as we don't have them here, that said the Linda McCartney do a fabulous job with these. Your oil mixture sounds fine. Enjoy ! 🙂
Fiona Vella Says:

Tried it. Although I didn't manage to deep fry it, I still liked the taste <3
Miriam Says:
July 12th, 2014 at 10:40 am
So glad you made and enjoyed this Fiona ! Cheers ! 🙂

My Son is not keen on sweet n sour flavours but I made this for tonight's tea. He came back for seconds! but I ate them 🙂 It was absolutely delicious with a perfect balance of sweet n sour. I served it on a bed of brown rice and used tender pieces of seitan instead of the sausages.
Miriam Says:
August 26th, 2014 at 9:44 pm
Kim Hi there. That sounds perfect and so glad your son enjoyed it too ! Hope you enjoy more of my recipes from here and I look forward to your future comments on my blog ! 🙂

Miriam, I love this sauce. I don't use the faux meats in this, I just pour over veggies. I am not thrilled with broccoli but I can eat a whole head with this! I saute the veggies pour this over – sometimes plain, sometimes with grains. There is always a mason jar filled in my fridge but it doesn't last all that long. Thank-you!

February 20th, 2017 at 3:38 pm
Can I use aquafaba instead of Orgran?
Miriam Says:
February 25th, 2017 at 3:08 pm
Hi Joe – you could certainly give it a try ! 🙂
