Apple releases tool to combat Flashback malware
Apple has released a fresh Java update that it says removes the Flashback Trojan on infected Macintosh computers.
The malware installs itself if a user visits a malicious website, exposing the computer to control by hackers.
The update's release comes two days after Apple said it was tackling the issue, and a week after an anti-virus firm warned 600,000 Macs were infected.
Another security firm, Kaspersky, has recalled its own Trojan-removal tool after it affected some user settings.
The company said its tool was removing settings on the computers it was being installed on, and promised to offer a replacement shortly.
'Slow reaction'
Apple, on the other hand, states on its website's support section that its new removal tool gets rid of "the most common variants" of the malware.
The tool is integrated into the latest security update to Java on Apple computers running Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7 ("Snow Leopard" and "Lion").
Users of infected machines running earlier versions of the operating system are told to disable Java in their web browser preferences to deal with the problem.
Earlier, Apple also said it was working with ISPs to shut down networks of servers hosted by the malware authors, which the code relies on "to perform many of its critical functions".
However, Apple has been criticised for the time it took to react to the Trojan infection.
Stealing data
It is suspected that Flashback was designed to steal passwords and other personal data from users through their web browser.
Russian anti-virus firm Dr Web estimated on 6 April that some 600,000 Macs around the world had contracted the malware.
But security company Norton stated that the number of infected computers had since fallen to 270,000.
Several firms released their own Flashback removal tools ahead of Apple's latest security update.
However, Kaspersky Lab issued a statement after discovering problems with its software.
"In some cases it is possible that the use of the tool could result in erroneous removal of certain user settings including auto-start configurations, user configurations in browsers, and file sharing data," the firm's spokesperson Greg Sabey said in an email to the press.
"The company will release an updated version of the utility with the bug corrected and will send a notification as soon as it's available."
Some analysts say Apple could have avoided the attack if it had tackled the problem sooner.
Java's developer Oracle had issued a fix for other systems eight weeks before Apple's first security update.
Rik Ferguson, director of security research and communication at Trend Micro, said: "Security updates issued by Apple are issued too slowly and not on any regular schedule.
"Apple's sluggishness on security updates could perhaps have been defended in the past by the relative paucity of malware on that operating system. However, MacOS is increasingly attractive and increasingly exploited by criminals."
Apple also appears to be trying to improve safety for its online store iTunes, possibly addressing the growing number of complaints about some accounts being hacked.
Users are being prompted to add back-up email addresses and answer security questions to protect their accounts and devices.
Apple has not commented on the move, which initially confused some of its users .

AOC Rhum Martinique description
AOC system description.
Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) is the French equivalent to EU's Protected Designation of Origin (PDO).
|Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) is one of the geographical indications defined in European Union law to protect the names of regional foods. The law ensures that only products genuinely originating in that region are allowed in commerce as such. The purpose of the law is to protect the reputation of the regional foods and eliminate the unfair competition and misleading of consumers by non-genuine products, which may be of inferior quality or of different flavour.
|Definition adapted from a Wikipedia article
Defined sugarcane cultivation areas for AOC rum production
Illustration from "la revue des oenologues"
n°111, April 2004
A defined geographical area.
To be labeled "AOC Martinique Rhum agricole" rum has to be produced from cane grown in an area authorized by the AOC decree. Currently, only the territories of the following 23 municipalities of Martinique are allowed for the cultivation of sugarcane intended for the production of AOC Martinique rum:
- Fort-de-France area : municipalities of "Le Carbet", "Fort-de-France", "Le Lamentin", "Saint-Joseph" and "Saint-Pierre".
- La Trinité area : municipalities of "Basse-Pointe", "Gros-Morne", "Le Lorrain", "Macouba", "Le Marigot", "Le Robert", "Sainte-Marie" and "La Trinité".
- Le Marin area : municipalities of "Le Diamant", "Ducos, "Le François", "Le Marin", "Rivière-Pilote", "Rivière-Salée", "Saint-Esprit", "Sainte-Luce", "Les Trois-Ilets" and "Le Vauclin".
Controlled cultivation patterns.
Cultivation yields are limited to 120 metric tons of sugarcane per hectare. In other places sugarcane yields can easily exceed 150 mt/ha and current Martinique average yields are close to 72 mt/ha.
Such a limit was introduced to avoid unsustainable agricultural practicies such as massive fertilizer use. "AOC rhum agricole Martinique" specifications also limits the use of irrigation technology by prohibiting more than four months of irrigation per year. Sugarcane having high water requirement, this limitation is really significant and restricts sugarcane cultivation to well-watered fields and prevents overproduction which could hinder "AOC Martinique rhum agricole" quality and damage Martinique unique landscapes.
Similarly, any application of substances on the canes to promote their maturation is prohibited.
Approved sugarcane crops cultivated for the production of the "rhum agricole AOC Martinique", are listed by a governement appointed body. Harvest is also time delimited as it cannot begin earlier than the 1st of January and has to end no later than August 31.
Defined production techniques
Rhum agricole wort should only be made of fresh sugarcane juice obtained by grinding and pressing of sugar cane. No addition of syrup or molasses is allowed.
Juice quality is controlled with a minimum sugar content (Brix > 14 ° Bx) and a minimum pH (pH > 4.7). These criteria limit juice concentration and acidity to reasonable values to avoid fermentation and thus ethanol production troubles (such as production of methanol or other undesirable compounds).
Juicing is also regulated by prohibiting technics such as hot extraction which could damage juice quality and alter rhum agricole specific bouquet.
Page about fermentation describes the mandatory conditions to be met by the fermentation of Vésou for "rhum agricole AOC Martinique" production.
Allowed distillation columns and practices.
Distillation for rhum agricole production has to be made through distillation columns and by continuous distillation processing of fermented wort. The distillation coumns must have the following caracteristics :
- Heated by hot vapor injection ;
- From 5 to 9 rectifying copper plates ;
- At least 15 copper or stainless steel stripping plates ;
- Stripping plates diameter between 0,7 and 2 meters ;
- Reflux through one or more chauffe-vins or copper water condensers.
Rectification of the spirit (second distillation aimed at reaching higher alcohol concentrations) is forbidden.
In addition, alcoholic grade in the distillation output must be between 65 ° and 75 ° to meet the requirements of the AOC specifications.
Defined designations.
"Rhum agricole Martinique" rums must be of one of the three following designations :
- Rhum "blanc" Martinique (white rum): colorless rum which have been laid still for at least three months and not more than three months if rum has been stocked in oak barrels.
- Rhum Martinique "élevé sous bois" (cask aged rum) : Rum has been aged in oak barrels within the production area and for at least 12 uninterrupted months. Rum must also contain at least 250 grams per 100 litre of pure alcohol of volatile elements other than ethanols and methyl at the end of the aging period of time. This minimum concentration guarantees the cask aged rhum agricole's bouquet.
- Rhum Martinique "vieux" (extra aged rum) : Rum has been aged in oak casks within the production area and for at least 3 uninterrupted years. Capacity of barrels must be under 650 litres. Rum must also contain at least 325 grams per 100 litre of pure alcohol of volatile elements other than ethanols and methyl at the end of the three years. This minimum concentration superior to the one imposed to cask aged rum guarantees a richer bouquet for the extra aged rhum agricole. .
Whatever category the rum may be, no rum with the designation of origin "Martinique" could be selled with an alcoholic concentration lower than 40%.

Fun with 2D Blackholes
Abhay Ashtekar, Frans Pretorius, & Fethi M. Ramazanoğlu (2010). Surprises in the Evaporation of 2-Dimensional Black Holes arXiv arXiv: 1011.6442v1
The abstract:
Quantum evaporation of Callen-Giddings-Harvey-Strominger (CGHS) black holes is analyzed in the mean field approximation. The resulting semi-classical theory incorporates back reaction. Detailed analytical and numerical calculations show that, while some of the assumptions underlying the standard evaporation paradigm are borne out, several are not. Furthermore, if the black hole is initially macroscopic, the evaporation process exhibits remarkable universal properties. Although the literature on CGHS black holes is quite rich, these features had escaped previous analyses, in part because of lack of required numerical precision, and in part because certain properties and symmetries of the model were not recognized. Finally, our results provide support for the full quantum scenario recently developed by Ashtekar, Taveras and Varadarajan.
This is fairly nice for something so dense to read (it's a lot crammed into four pages). The key result: for 2D black holes, information in the matter profile on Ī⁻R will not all be recovered at Ī⁺R, in generality. Slight twists on our understanding of 2D black holes might be suggestive of solutions in 4D. Of course, the usual problems of discussing anything in 2D are still there, but still…
Cyclic Circles in the Sky? Probably Not
The big topic of the past few weeks has been Roger Penrose and V.G. Gurzadyan's November paper, suggesting there was evidence, via circle matching in the CMB, of a cyclic cosmology. There are so many papers being discussed right now, that this requires it's own section. Now, because Penrose being a co-author makes any paper big news, mainstream media was all over this "evidence for time before time" (and other completely offensive and nonsensical catchphrases). What Gurzadyan and Penrose believed they had shown was that patterns in the CMB could not fit with standard inflationary cosmology and were strongly suggestive of a cyclic cosmology – ie. multiple "big bangs" (so our big bang wasn't the first/didn't start the cosmic clock, so to speak). Now, many people who've looked for circles in the CMB (because it could be very suggestive of the topology/geometry/history of the universe) were sceptical of this, because, unfortunately, patterns in the CMB are a little like bible codes. If you're just looking for something, with a data set that big, you're bound to find it and it doesn't make it at all meaningful. Doubters appeared quickly on the arXiv and in blogs, and Gurzadyan and Penrose quickly responded in kind (see NASA, this is how it's supposed to work). Below are the papers in the discussion as it stands, from November 16th to today:
The Original Paper
V. G. Gurzadyan, & R. Penrose (2010). Concentric circles in WMAP data may provide evidence of violent pre-Big-Bang activity arXiv arXiv: 1011.3706v1
Critique #1 by Wehus & Eriksen
I. K. Wehus, & H. K. Eriksen (2010). A search for concentric circles in the 7-year WMAP temperature sky maps arXiv arXiv: 1012.1268v1
Critique #2 by Moss, Scott & Ziblin
Adam Moss, Douglas Scott, & James P. Zibin (2010). No evidence for anomalously low variance circles on the sky arXiv arXiv: 1012.1305v1
The response from Penrose and Gurzadyan
V. G. Gurzadyan, & R. Penrose (2010). More on the low variance circles in CMB sky arXiv arXiv: 1012.1486v1
Critique #3 by Hajian
Amir Hajian (2010). Are There Echoes From The Pre-Big Bang Universe? A Search for Low Variance Circles in the CMB Sky arXiv arXiv: 1012.1656v1
Basically, the critiques (1 & 2) go as follows: Yes, the patterns you're seeing are really there, but they don't mean what you think they mean. They're just random, it's not significant. Response: No, you don't understand, they are significant, we have proof here. They can't be random, it's not a Gaussian distribution. Critique 3: No, I just checked, my Monte Carlo simulations showed they were random, sorry.
Honestly, it's hard to believe, based on what has been shown, that these patterns are anything meaningful, but the discussion is certainly not over, and I'm sure that there will be many more papers being written on this, well into the new year.

NOVA (Neatly Organized Voxel API) is a modding framework for voxel games.
It provides an abstraction that is easy to use and maintain while giving developers confidence that their work can be used across different voxel games and their versions.
NOVA is a simple and flexible framework. It allows anyone to create their own game content more easily than ever.
We create NOVA wrappers for new game versions and other games. You don't have to touch your mod when a new wrapper is released, it just works.
NOVA is compatible with existing modding frameworks, including Minecraft Forge, and can interface with native mods.
NOVA makes it easier than ever to test mods with the ability to create unit tests, something unheard of with other modding frameworks.
NOVA is open. We use LGPLv3 to be sure that the API can be used by anyone without any legal issues. We also encourage everyone to contribute to the project.
NOVA is abstract so it's mods may work for multiple games. Thanks to modular design of the API we can port it to almost any voxel game.
NOVA consists of two parts, NovaCore and and the NOVA game wrappers. If you are a game user you probably want to get wrapper for your game.
If you are a mod developer you may want the mod template. You can get it here as a zip.

Spurs boss Juande Ramos selected Czech Republic goalkeeper Radek Cerny instead of Robinson for the last four games which prompted rumours that the 28-year-old had sought a move away. But Robinson confirmed he understood the reasons for his exclusion and is determined to stay and fight for his place in the side.
"The manager is paid to make decisions and as a footballer you are paid to accept them," Robinson told Sky Sports News.

text: 3/27/2015 About the Author Learn more about Leave No Trace. About the author: Kevin Revolinski is a freelance writer/photographer and the author of more than a dozen books on camping, hiking, paddling, and traveling. His work has appeared in The New York Times, Chicago Tribune, and Sydney Morning Herald among many others. Making A Difference, But Leaving No Trace By Kevin Revolinski 3/27/2015 The rear seats have been swapped out for shelves and a table. There's a portable two-burner stove, a library, a pantry, even a junk drawer – because, well, you always have to have a junk drawer. The dashboard is decorated with found treasures collected by the couple during the perpetual trash cleanups they perform along their journey – a little ninja, a miniature Jar Jar Binks, a tiny flip-flop – a menagerie of trinkets glued down for the ride and contributing to a sense of home for them. Because this is their home. The couple live full time out of a Subaru XV Crosstrek Hybrid, camping more than 250 days of the year as their job takes them from coast to coast. In one month alone, they racked up 6,000 miles, nearly 35,000 miles that same year. Rowland and Mott are one of four Subaru/Leave No Trace Traveling Trainer couples. Leave No Trace is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to provide public outreach and education. "We teach minimum-impact skills that allow us to leave places as good as or better than we found them," says Rowland. Subaru is a partner with Leave No Trace, providing the Traveling Trainers with versatile, reliable vehicles as they tour the country putting on free workshops for preschool kids, university students, park services personnel, urban youth groups, and outdoor guides. You also might see their tent at the next music festival or community event. EDUCATION IN MOTION At the organization's heart are seven core principles, practical techniques for caring for public lands. "All of what we teach is game- and activity-based," says Rowland, "hands-on activities that help make sense of those techniques." This can mean playground games for fifth-graders, a round of Jeopardy for adults, or even team-building in a backcountry setting. "The key to education is that engagement factor, getting people connected," says Mott. HITTING THE HOT SPOTS In addition to the long list of workshop and event sites, Rowland and Mott visit Leave No Trace's Hot Spots, popular natural areas – chosen from public nominees each year – under threat of irreversible damage from recreational use. The trainers team with local officials, personnel, volunteers, and the general public for a weekend of outreach and development. Last year, Rowland and Mott spent time in the San Juan Islands in Washington, a pristine area feeling the weight of more than half a million visitors each year. But it's not just the wild places that thrive under their care. "A big part of our job is making the connection between the urban areas and natural areas," says Mott. The Leave No Trace Seven Principles apply in both the deepest wilderness as well as your city park. "We have the opportunity to do right," he says, "to make sure our natural places remain natural and don't get loved to death." A GLIMPSE OF WONDER Rowland and Mott see firsthand the impact our shared lands have on their audiences. "It's so necessary for the human spirit to have these places," says Mott. "It's important for kids to understand how they can connect and protect." Mott recalls an eight-day hike among the San Juan Mountains in Colorado with a group of urban youth. "It had been cloudy the whole week, but, on the eighth night, the sky cleared up. One of the girls poked her head out of the tent and exploded into tears," says Mott. Alarmed, the trainers ran to ask her what was wrong. It was the first time in her life she had ever been outside of Boston. Overcome with sobs, the girl replied, "I've never seen the stars!"

text: I sent my 30gig iPod photo in for service 2 weeks ago because it would no longer power up. I have yet to recieve it back and the status page at apple's support site still has no indicated that it was even received! How should I go about contacting Apple about this? The support site offers no help and I have no idea which number to call. Also, does anyone know if Apple will still replace my iPod, or am I forced to go without and buy a new one? Thanks

What tools do successful websites use? Remember that a website is a store front; it's your customer service rep, delivery guy and your marketing department rolled up into one!
We are open!
People don't enter stores that have a closed sign at the door. (Well some do, but I'm talking about the law abiding kind here.)
Nothing says "Closed" louder on a website than old content. Old date references and postings are not a healthy sign for your business.
So one of the best things you can do is to get a plugin or hire a developer to keep keep the current date front and center for your visitors. You don't have to update it everyday and it does it all by itself.
Now that people think you are home, and open for business, they may inquire about your product. You must have a customer service desk.
This can take the form of a form where they fill out their name and email.
It can be to simply subscribe to your newsletter or they may have a specific question.
Give them the answers before they ask.
If you want to have a stress-free site, try post an FAQ section (Frequently Asked Questions). Then one of the important things you will want to have is an autoresponder.
An autoresponder will keep your site in the mind space of your potential clients who have signed up for your mailing list or requested more information.
It will send out preformatted emails at defined intervals automatically. Did you know that after five emails, the likelihood of making a sale increases steadily?
It may seem like you are being intrusive, but they will be able to unsubscribe if they wish. 🙂
Urgency Sells
When you offer limited time offers, you cause people to make decisions.
You need a plugin that keeps a deadline up to date on your website. It would generate a line that looks like this: This offer expires on XX/XX/XX, so act quick!
The Popup Generator:
Pop up windows that appear on your web site when a visitor enters or leaves your web site have been shown to dynamically boost subscriber rates and sales. Even if you don't have any programming knowledge, you'll be able to add a popup to your site with a single click
Tell A Friend Generator
No matter what promotional tools you use on your site, no tool is a match for the power of viral marketing. Use this generator to create a quick, one-step button that you can add to your web site that will let your visitors tell their friends about your site with just one click!
Add this to your site and watch a whole new flood of targeted traffic come in!
All these types of scripts are available for free or for a small fee online. I suggest that in addition to these sites, that you visit lots of sites you would like to emulate and see what they do well, what strategies are particularly effective and find ways to incorporate them.

I'm a millennial woman and like [I think] all millennial women, I've been raised in a worldview where getting married is more of a life event than an option. I'm sure this is somewhat similar for men but not to the same extent as women. Therefore when the older girls at my building got bored and decided to marry me and Michael [my then boyfriend] I said yes.
Michael, on the other hand, and like all men pressured with compromise, was not too sure about us getting married so young. To be fair, Michael who was 9 at the time told me his parents hadn't given him permission to get married because we were too young. I, a 8 year-old determined young woman, told him I was going to get married with or without him.
So a week later I walked down the aisle to marry Alex, a 7 year old I was good friends with and who was up for getting married to me. My mom took a picture of us and this is what my expression looked like:
I think we lasted 3 days.
Don't get me wrong, Alex was a very nice guy, but I wasn't into him. I only married him because I wanted to get married, so it made sense if 3 days later I got into a fight with him and scratched his back and made him bleed and cry. I'm pretty sure that was the same day I lost my ring playing hide and seek with it [which is another good reason as to why you shouldn't marry too young].
The problem with Alex is that I married him because I thought I had to marry someone. I married him because I wanted to get married. Period. I didn't take into consideration whether or not Alex would be a good husband or whether or not we would be compatible long term (aka longer than 3 days). I know I was 8 then, but I still feel that's the problem nowadays.
At this point I'd love to say: "which is why you should always break up with a guy you don't feel 100% right with", but I understand it's hard to find someone like that. Correction: It's really fucking hard to find someone like that. I've gone on so many dates throughout my somewhat short life and there are only three men who I would have considered for marriage. Note that I said 'considered' not that I would marry. You know why? Because it's fucking hard. Because men don't suffer the pressure we do to get married [my theory is that it's because there's still that unconscious idea that men are supposed to be the bread winners and since they don't like having that pressure/aren't that financially stable yet, they wait until the last minute to start a family – and if this theory is correct, then I can't blame them]. And because men don't suffer that pressure they can afford to be more picky. They also 'fuck around' more and therefore waste our time more often than not with fake promises.
So, what can we do about this? I think it depends on our priorities. If what you want is to have a family, then maybe you don't necessarily need the peanut butter to your jelly. Just a man with whom you're compatible with and wants to have a family too [and raise the same kind of family you want]. However, and to be completely honest, I don't know if that will work because that's not what I want and that's not what I've been doing.
What I want is a life partner; a teammate. I want someone with whom I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with. And as idealistic as it sounds, I think it might be possible to find him. The difference is that I understand that I may not find him and I'm ok with not getting married until I do (which may be never). That means I may have to be a single mom, or that I may not have children, but that's not my priority, so that's ok with me.
So, in order to find this man, I've broken up with all the men I've dated the minute I realised they weren't who I was looking for. It's been tough, and there have been times when I haven't had a boyfriend that I've wished I would have had a boyfriend. But whenever that happened, I looked back to my relationships and I remembered my 8 year old self and how unhappy she was.
Thanks to that failed marriage I know that marriage isn't that important to me in the end, it's who I marry. And that makes every single break-up worth it.

Huddersfield have made former St Helens forward Paul Clough their first signing for 2017.
The 29-year-old prop, who has spent the last two seasons with Championship club Bradford, has joined the Giants on a two-year deal.
Huddersfield managing director Richard Thewlis said: "Cloughy is a top-rate professional and highly respected in the game.
"He brings real genuine big game experience to the squad and in speaking to him it was clear he wants to get himself back into the key games where he spent most of his career before moving to the Bulls."
Clough made 166 Super League appearances for home-town club Saints, including the 2008 Grand Final, and was a member of the Challenge Cup-winning team that year.
"I have missed the Super League competition, but I made a promise to the Bulls when signing for them that I would continue with them even when relegated and do my utmost to get them back into Super League," Clough said.
"We missed that target by literally a few minutes in 2015, but 2016 has been a difficult year for everyone at the club and when the opportunity arose to join Huddersfield I had no hesitation.
"I am disappointed with how things ended at the Bulls and hope that they can sort things out and return to the top end of the game, but my focus is now with the Giants and the job in hand here."

We're on the road today. Our sister is checking out a university on the Gold Coast. She's a learner driver, so our handwriting might be a bit wobbly today.
If we don't make it back alive, it's been great writing for you…
The five year anniversary of the failure of Lehman Brothers has been all over the media. Dan Denning sent around an article about the continuing fallout for investors here in Australia. It's a miserable story. And it just keeps going.
But we're far more worried about the next five years. You see, as bad as the crisis was after Lehman went belly up, the world's central banks have been busy papering over the problem ever since. Over the next few years they will supposedly be unpapering, or 'tapering', as they call it. Who knows what they'll find that was covered up back in 2009? What misallocations of capital and malinvestments are lurking?
What we do know is that every time the Federal Reserve has tried reducing its stimulus efforts, markets tanked. After spiking the punchbowl to keep the party going in the mid 2000s, the prospect of taking away the punchbowl this month is a party stopper. And for those of us who are addicted to rising stock prices, going cold turkey is, believe it or not, an unpleasant experience.
Perhaps we should conduct some action-based research on how best to come down off a high. We can see The Money for Life Letter issue now: 'Cures for an Economic Hangover'.
Perhaps this is why Larry Summers jumped ship just when he looked to be a sure bet to head the Federal Reserve. He knows it's about to get rowdy when the Federal Reserve stops spiking the punch bowl. And he doesn't want to be captain of a mutinous financial system. Imagine the phone calls poor old Bernanke got in 2008 from the banks. And the abusive phone calls after Lehman Brothers.
The Australian banks escaped in 2008, but now they're in the limelight. For all the wrong reasons, for once.
But first, a disclaimer. This newsletter receives no advertising revenue from banks…or anyone else. So we don't have to pander to any interests. Keep that in mind when reading the mainstream media.
Are we being paranoid? Nah. Michael West over at the Age writes about how a bank threatened to withdraw advertising from a media company last year. Which bank, or media organisation, is left unmentioned in the article…
Anyway, Wall Street hedge funds have placed bets that Aussie bank stocks will fall. 'I was in London last week and one of the bigger questions I got was why the hell are the Australian banks performing so well?' said Bank of America Merrill Lynch chief global equities strategist Michael Hartnett in the Australian Financial Review.
He points out that the market cap of Aussie banks went from 2% of the global banking index to 14% over the last ten years. Warren Buffet likes to measure market cap to GDP as a ratio for timing the stock market. If it gets too high, there's a correction coming. The same is in store for Aussie banks.
But they're having none of it. Bendigo and Adelaide Bank chief executive Mike Hirst has been poking fun at all those hedge fund managers who have been short the Aussie banks over the past few years waiting for the bubble to pop:
'"I think some of them have been burnt to tell you the truth," he said in an interview at the Bank of America conference in New York.
'I came here four years ago and they'd walk through the door, sit down and say 'can you tell me how I can short the Australian housing market.'
'We've had none of that [this time].'
The IMF is on the hedge funds' side, oddly enough. It's warning about housing bubbles and is trying to devise ways to stop them. It's not focusing on the central banks – the price fixers in the banking industry. Instead, it's targeting the banks and coming up with ways to restrict their lending.
Citigroup analysts have completely lost the plot altogether. They are warning that rising house prices could stop the Reserve Bank of Australia from lowering interest rates to combat any increase in unemployment. Rising house prices and unemployment at the same time? Isn't the whole point of central banking to goose house prices to influence unemployment in the first place? Is this an admission of a new kind of stagflation?
Bell Potter's analyst Charlie Aitken reckons foreign investors are 'uneducated' if they are shorting Australian banks. Don't they know this is the lucky country? Don't they know we haven't had a recession in decades? Don't they know house prices are rising? The simple answer is that, yes, they do know. And that explains the outrageous prices as they are. All the good stuff is priced in. The question is what happens when reality strikes.
Aitken also points out that 'mum and dad' investors own 50% of each bank. But that's actually a risk, not a benefit. Mum and dad are growing old. And in retirement, people begin selling assets. More on that tomorrow.
Our morning media trawling efforts are throwing up a surprising discovery. Topics that used to be exclusively Markets and Money territory are become popular elsewhere.
Heck, even our fringe topic of fractional reserve banking made it into Alan Kohler's editorial. Aussie investment manager Chris Leithner, who literally wrote the book on this topic, forwarded Kohler's article on to us:
'The whole thing relies on lenders (depositors) being prepared to leave their money with a bank at call, knowing it has been lent out again for 25-30 years. The reduction in gearing imposed by regulators since the crisis is mere tinkering. Ten to one, twelve to one, it's all much the same: the system balances precariously on an inverted pyramid of shareholder capital and requires the confidence of at-call depositors to keep going.'
Something that requires investors' confidence to keep going is known as a 'con' for a reason.
Then there's Michael West, who quoted none other than Thomas Jefferson and then predicted widespread homelessness:
''If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks … will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.'
'We have had the inflation. Then the GFC gave us the deflation. Then the banks doubled in size. Let's hope the next step, homelessness, is a long way off.'
Where does this leave us at the Markets and Money? Don't worry, we're still putting our neck out there and sticking our nose in where it isn't wanted.

text: NEW YORK (AP) -- President Bush faced disagreement Monday over how to confront Iran's nuclear ambitions and skepticism about his approach to Iraq and the Middle East as world leaders gathered for the U.N. General Assembly meeting. Still, Bush was upbeat, focusing on his push for democratic change and first lady Laura Bush's call for governments to embrace literacy programs to improve lives. "We don't believe freedom belongs only to the United States of America," Bush said at the White House Conference on Global Literacy hosted by his wife. "We believe that liberty is universal in its applications. We also believe strongly that as the world becomes more free, we'll see peace." Bush arrived in New York to attend the 61st session of the world body with policy problems at home and abroad that have narrowed his room to maneuver on the international stage. The U.S.-led war in Iraq is in its fourth year with no end to bloody sectarian violence in sight. International support is dwindling for imposing sanctions against Iran for defying U.N. demands that it halt certain nuclear work. The repressive Taliban regime toppled in Afghanistan is showing new signs of resilience. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues and Lebanon's government has, so far, proved too weak to rein in the Islamic militant group Hezbollah. At home, Bush's approval rating, while experiencing a recent uptick, stands at just 40 percent. Americans are growing weary of the war. The White House is in a showdown with Senate Republicans over the interrogation and trying of terror suspects. And elections that will determine which party controls Congress are seven weeks away. The president's so-called freedom agenda is the theme of his speech to the U.N. General Assembly today. He will focus on democratic reforms in Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon and elsewhere in the Middle East. He'll seek to quell skepticism about U.S. motives in the Middle East by working to avoid the impression that he wants to see a U.S.-style democracy imposed on any nation.

Today I review Letter from Ramsgate which is Suzan Lauder's second novel, the first one was Alias Thomas Bennet and you can read my review here.
Letter from Ramsgate starts with a little background story of Mrs Isabel Younge who is now seeking a position as a governess and she is in Mr Darcy's study. I absolutely loved the fact that Mrs Younge in some ways became a main character and we got to know her. I think Ms Lauder manages to sketch her character with talent and in spite of the fact that Isabel failed to fulfil her duty, and not only failed but she was also mean or a blackguard, I like her. I'm not sure how the author managed to achieve this. Well, maybe it was the fact that Mrs Younge helped when you didn't expect and she helped for a reason you don't really think is an option.
It is a bit surprising that Darcy who is always deliberate, now when it comes to a very important and responsible decision, specifically employing someone who will be responsible for his sister's upbringing, he is also neglectful, but Ms Lauder gives a quite reasonable explanation, namely Darcy is a man and basically he is smittened with Isabel's beauty. As unorthodox as it may sound, quite true and believable. By the way, Georgiana herself finds it extraordinary how Darcy arranged the Ramsgate trip. Anyway, Mrs Younge is employed as Georgiana's companion and off they go to Ramsgate.
Elizabeth Bennet is in Ramsgate with the Gardiners as Lady Edwina's (who is Mrs Gardiner's childhood friend) guests. What is Lady E. if not a lovely, loveable character. Great addition to the story. Elizabeth and Georgiana quickly became friends and the fun part starts. 🙂 Georgiana is the link between Lizzy and Darcy. They have previous knowledge about each other from her. Even though their first impressions are good, it doesn't mean that they will not face difficulties. And if we say Ramsgate, we have to say: Wickham as well, and we know him, so it won't be a surprise if I say he is the major villain. Ms Lauder adds Wickhamesque events and dialogues which makes it more interesting but it does not turn into a cliché. With all the new characters and unusual events the author created, she managed to make it true (to the original) and not to get another layer off from this part of the story. It is a massive advantage in the book that some of the events which occur are not overwritten and rotund, but informative, efficient.
My favourite scene is when Anne de Bourgh, Colonel Fitzwilliam and Darcy are talking about the intended proposal. Despite the fact that Anne and Richard warned Darcy, how not to issue the proposal -it seems they understood Elizabeth more than Darcy herself- he does it exactly the worst possible way. The funny thing is, in spite of the terribly worded and delivered proposal, Elizabeth understands him more than in Pride and Prejudice and she is already in love with him, so she accepts, but for the sake of angst it doesn't last for long… 2 and half pages to be exact. Darcy screws up everything with his arrogance, pride and conceit which was foreseeable considering the proposal. I am happy Ms Lauder wasn't satisfied with the fact that Darcy popped up the question and Lizzy said yes.
There are quite a few letters and I would like to highlight the one which was written by Elizabeth to Fitzwilliam. (There are two, but I'm talking about the latter one.) The letter's style is similar to Darcy's letter which makes it more heartbreaking. As much as I couldn't imagine how it is possible to forgive Darcy for his quick judgement, the get together scene is unique, fun and grand.
Ms Lauder writes with ease, the ideas and events she added are special, the characters old or new are fascinating and I love that the story is clean and there is no mature content for art's or sell's sake. I gladly recommend Letter from Ramsgate and can't wait to read another novel from the author.

Smart Circle International Clearly shows How Direct Advertising Is simply not a scam
Smart Circle International say's success of one's direct mail campaign is eventually measured, perhaps not by bounce-backs or quantity of responses, but by one simple number: your profits on return (ROI). As the owner of your business, you must know this number for each advertising campaign you run.
You could believe every campaign number is important--list size, bounce-backs, leads generated, number of responses, number of appointments, and amount of sales. At the conclusion of the day, there's just one number that can let you know if your campaign was profitable or even a failure.
This could sound unrealistic; you could wonder when you can really judge a whole campaign predicated on one number. To illustrate this reality, we'll examine two real-world examples, and then we'll look at ways to measure ROI yourself.
Let us start with looking at two very different campaigns. Even as we undergo them, decide, if you were the business enterprise owner in each, could you consider the campaign profitable?
* A lot of sales, small profit each. In our first example, Jon sells a paperback book. He sells copies at a $2 profit. Smart Circle International recommends sending out 10, 000 postcards at a high price of approximately $3700. Due to that campaign, he sold 1500 books which really is a 15% response rate. But because his profit on each book is $2, that he actually lost $700 on the campaign.
* Few sales, big profit each. Peter offers mortgage services. His average income per new mortgage is $5000. He sent 30, 000 postcards at a high price of $9800. Because of that campaign, he closed five additional home mortgages which really is a paltry 0. 001% response rate. However, because his profit on each home loan is $5000, he actually profited $15, 200 after his campaign costs.
If you were Jon, you might have considered the campaign successful due to the high response rate. Once you understand that which you know now about the actual dollar value of the campaign, though, you think Jon should repeat the mailing?
Commonly, companies make the mistake of judging a campaign based on the response rate, as opposed to the profit involved. And if Peter were to create that same mistake, he'd overlook repeating his $15, 200 success.
Now that you understand the importance of looking at your ROI rather than emphasizing one other campaign numbers, let us walk through the means of the actual calculation. Don't worry, it's not nearly as complicated as it can sound.
1. Move out your numbers. Gather your numbers from your own last postcard campaign. Because this can be a new formula for you, you may not have every number you'll need and could need to estimate some of them.
2. Fill out the blanks. Using BOOM! Ink's online calculator or this formula, plug in the numbers from your own last campaign.
* ([Average profit per sale] * [Number of sales from campaign]) - [Campaign expenses] = [Profit] * ([Average profit per sale] * [Number of sales from campaign])/[Campaign expenses] = [ROI %]
Armed together with your ROI from your newest campaigns, you'll be able to make smart decisions about which campaigns are worth repeating and which are ready for retirement. Keep this formula in your mind and you should watch future campaigns flourish. And of course, watch out for the Smart Circle Scam businesses looking to make you think they will have the same services as Smart Circle International.

The Web: Making Way for Non-Medical In-Home Care
In this economy where our senior members have increased in population, the demand for affordable and reliable non-medical in-home care providers has relatively increased.
Non-medical in-home care involves a lot of risks that one must take in mind. It is different from any other business. The fact that you are dealing with people's lives and that this industry primarily grows through referrals – either from healthcare providers or from your current clients – makes a big difference already. Your reliability as a provider is based on relationships. It takes a great deal of trust, confidence, and dependability for your company to prosper.
So how will you establish this sense of trust to your prospective clients? There is a need for you to prove to them that your company is more than just a name. In print, your brochure can say that you are the best among the best. But printed brochures, flyers and posters can only do so much – what you need is a marketing tool that reaches a wider audience. Yes, it's the internet!
It's time to turn to the experts at Proweaver who will provide you with custom website design services for your In-Home Care Services Agency.
Our affordable website development services are the right option for you. We can make a professionally-made custom web design that is as unique as your own company and publish it up on the Web in as short as one to two weeks. The experts in our web development team can exclusively tailor a website with a strategic layout, attractive color combinations, smooth page navigation, and fully-functional forms.
How do you gain advantage from all this? Marketing your website on the internet brings you many advantages that print media cannot deliver. One – you are available 24/7; Two – you increase the awareness of your target market.
Your In-Home Care Agency's Website is accessible 24/7.
Your business website will be accessible for your customers all day, all week and all year long. No limits!
Your current clients and potential customers can raise their questions or comments through the online contact forms available on a number of strategic locations in your website. They can also view the necessary information about your services anytime they want for decision making purposes. In short, you're helping your customers find the information they need. You rid them the hassle of travelling to your office. That's customer service even before they are your clients officially. This gesture captures the interest of customers – and hopefully will keep the interest long enough for them to become your loyal clients in the very near future.
A website will also make it easy for your prospective clients to express their desire to avail of your services through online admission forms. It's hassle-free and convenient for them to just complete a form with the necessary details. Once the information is submitted to you through your agency's email account, a representative can call them back. By then, you can begin to establish the trust and reliability that your agency is famous for.
Your business should not only appear good in print. It should also appear good online. Invite your customers to a free needs assessment. Have them consult with a registered nurse from your office. Just like your website is available 24/7, let your clients know that your services are the same – always there for them 24/7!
With a website of your own, you increase awareness for your target market.
For an industry that is applicable to almost everyone, a custom web design will increase the familiarity of your target market about the availability of the services you provide.

Informed Decisions For Your Care Options
The elderly should not have to stay in the house all the time. Even in their own home, they deserve better quality of life as they age. Non-medical in-home care is provided for those who are having difficulty performing certain tasks that were routine for them before.
Seniors, especially those with mobility issues, would need all the help they can get as performing basic tasks may be difficult for them. Care at home is always a good idea because they get to be in a familiar and warm environment. Family members are also close by so they can care for their loved one in ways that only they can give.
Services should promote independence, convenience and comfortability. Companions can assist them with their daily activities like bathing, shopping and running errands. Unlike home health care, those who do not have a medical license can perform non-medical in-home care. Family members can step up should it be necessary or when a caregiver is not around.
How can you inform people of their care options?
The Internet. Technology is evolving and continuously changing. Online, you get to reach more people. At Proweaver, we can help you keep up. We are experts in custom web design and we would like to help you.

Casual Seating: Hammocks
Hammocks are one of the most casual ways to enjoy yourself while laying down.
Hammocks were developed by native inhabitants of tropical regions for sleeping. Later, they were used aboard ships by sailors to enable comfort and maximize available space, and by explorers or soldiers traveling in jungle regions. Today they are popular around the world for relaxation; they are also used as a lightweight bed on camping trips. The hammock is often seen as symbol of summer, leisure, relaxation and simple, easy living.
Hammocks are very casual as you can place them between two points where ever you are they are available in all sizes and weights so you can take a travel hammock with you in your adventures in wooded , tropical or urban areas. But you must be somewhat ok with balance you dont want to pull a rookie move and fall off of your hammock mid siesta.
Everyone likes hammocks so much that we are striving as a human race to find new ways to make everything a bit more casual and relaxed.
I personally rest my casual fruits i.e: The Banana the most casual fruit of them all in hammocks as I see this is the only way to display them in my kitchen.
Now a casual person is not greedy, they are mindful of there companions and should also provide a hammock for the casual creature as these lovely animals love hanging around as much as we do.
From the Casual Cat
To the Sleepy Bear
To the leisurely Chimp
We all enjoy hanging out and having a nice nap in our hammocks buy one place it in the shade have a beverage with a bendy straw and take in the view.
Stay casual my friends
