Critical Linking: December 6, 2014
Great book cover designs are visual extensions of a book. Designers wield visual cues instead of words to call out to us as we peruse the library shelves or the aisles of a Barnes & Noble. The cover sparks your initial curiosity, and you stick around for the story.
30 of the best book covers from 2014. I am a sucker for good-looking covers.
However, the report also found that children from lower socioeconomic groups spend more time on devices than their wealthier peers.
The report uses the ABC1 socioeconomic scale, dividing children into AB (high socioeconomic status), C1 (middle socioeconomic status), C2 (low socioeconomic status) and DE (less advantaged background). More than 31% of DE and C2 children use a touch screen device in a typical week, compared to 27% of AB and C1 children. And compared to the AB group, children from DE households are twice as likely to read stories on screen for longer than print (29.5% versus 17.4%).
The use of devices is also more popular with boys, because 24% of boys spend more time reading on a touch screen than print, compared to 12% of girls.
I wonder if the divide has anything to do with access — if you're always around technology, maybe the interest to use it is lesser? These numbers are really interesting.
1. Peter Pan was originally a play. It was later adapted into the 1911 novel Peter and Wendy.The first stage version opened at the Duke of York's Theatre in London on 27 December 1904. The Guardian gave it a great review: "Even those who least relish it must admit that no such play was ever seen before on any stage. It is absolutely original — the product of a unique imagination." The play proved so popular, it was re-staged every year for the next 10 years.
Ten things you maybe didn't know about Peter Pan.
In private letters to Lewes, Dickens continued his defense, mentioning several historical cases of spontaneous combustion throughout history. He leaned especially hard on the case of an Italian countess who had reportedly combusted in 1731. She bathed in camphorated spirits of wine (a mixture of brandy and camphor); the morning after one such bath, her maid walked into her room to find the bed unslept on. As with Mr. Krook, soot hung suspended in the air, along with a yellow haze of oil on the windows. The maid found the countess's legs—just her legs—standing several feet from the bed. A pile of ashes sat between them, along with her charred skull. Nothing else seemed amiss, except for two melted candles nearby. And because a priest had recorded this tale, Dickens considered it trustworthy.
No need to say more than what the title of the piece is: How Charles Dickens Fueled A World of Spontaneous Combustion Truthers.

This record was rescued from a box of old vinyl in a charity shop in Woodingdean, where it languished amongst heaps of records by Des O'Connor and Slim Whitman. Weird to find such a strange, symphonic psychedelic prog-rock album in amongst such incongruous company.
The music here is dense and otherworldly and Manset employs a broad palette incorporating gypsy violins, sitars, fuzz guitars and experimental recording techniques alongside all the traditional instruments of the orchestra.

During a trip to Palm Springs last week, I toured California's largest lake, visited a desert ghost town, and had a meal in Mexico, all in the same afternoon. While it was not exactly the stereotypical tourist trip to Palm Springs, the city is the perfect jumping off point to explore the desert attractions in and out of the city, all within a reasonable driving distance.
As the state's largest body of water, the Salton Sea is 376 square miles or about eight times the size of San Francisco. It was created by accident in 1905 after an agricultural canal overflowed. The northern end of the Salton Sea is about a 50-minute drive south of Palm Springs. The incongruity of a huge lake in the desert is part of what makes it so unique. But you may smell it before you see it. Algae blooms in the lake often cause a strong sulfur smell. And because of the water's increasing salinity, more and more of the lake's fresh water fish are dying.
In the 1950s and 1960s, Bombay Beach was a thriving resort town. But all that changed as the water became saltier and most of the fish died. The carcasses of dead fish line the lake now, which is saltier than the ocean. You can see only remnants of beachfront resort structures now. The town has the distinction of being the lowest community in the U.S.: 223 feet below sea level. The sign on the town's bar proclaims it as the world's lowest bar in the Western Hemisphere. Bombay Beach would be a complete ghost town except that about 300 people still live there among buildings and rubble that is left to decay.

Recharge dams in Oman detain floods to recharge groundwater. The impact of sedimentation on recharge at Wadi Sahalanowt Recharge Dam, in Salalah, Oman, was evaluated using field data and numerical modelling. Analysis of the thickness of sediments after flood events shows that maximum depositions were at the same locations after each event, coinciding with the lowest positions in the wadi. Numerical modelling suggests that the current practice of periodic removal of sediments will restore the storage capacity of the reservoir, but that ploughing or raking of the underlying native sedimentary rocks could be required to significantly improve infiltration rates.

Doctors have long struggled to effectively treat heart failure caused by high blood pressure. ACE inhibitors, like enalapril -- formerly sold by Merck (NYSE:MRK) as the branded drug Vasotec, came on the scene in the 1990s, and ARB inhibitors, like Novartis' (NYSE:NVS) Diovan, which won approval in 1997, remain first line therapies in the fight to prevent heart disease.
However, despite those medicines being widely prescribed, high blood pressure remains inadequately treated and that means a greater percentage of people suffer heart failure every year. Estimates suggest that as many as 50% of those who should be taking drugs that lower blood pressure don't take them and discouragingly, only a third of those who do take them have their blood pressure under adequate control.
Fortunately, a new drug making its way to regulators from Novartis may offer patients new hope. This past weekend, Novartis released full study results from phase 3 trials of LCZ696, a combination therapy that is made up of the company's Diovan and a new drug, AHU-377.
A changing market
According to Express Scripts, high blood pressure is the third highest cost indication behind diabetes and high cholesterol, but spending on ACE inhibitors and ARBs is expected to fall through at least 2016 due to the launch of new generic versions of the blockbuster Diovan.
Express Scripts thinks that generic Diovan will be just as successful as generic ACE inhibitors like lisinopril, which was formerly marketed by Merck and AstraZeneca. Lisinopril is among the most widely prescribed drugs in America, accounting for 16.6% market share of all high blood pressure medication.
If Express Scripts forecast is correct, switching to generic Diovan will result in spending on high blood pressure drugs falling 12% this year and another 11% more in both 2015 and 2016.
A new option
Novartis hasn't been shy in its attempts to broaden its Diovan franchise by developing combination therapies. Its Diovan HCT pairs up Diovan with a water pill and that drug pulled in sales of more than $1.5 billion a year before losing patent protection in 2012.
Novartis' Exforge, a combination of Diovan and a calcium channel blocker -- another popular blood pressure lowering medication -- has also been a big seller. Exforge sales totaled $1.4 billion last year; however, Exforge loses patent protection next month.
Rapidly falling sales for Diovan HCT, Diovan, and (soon) Exforge, Novartis is pinning hope on LCZ696, which matches up Diovan with AHU-377, a neprilysin enzyme inhibitor that stops the enzyme from damaging blood pressure-lowering peptides.
In phase 2 trials, patients receiving LCZ696 instead of Diovan had better control over their hypertension and a strong showing in phase 3 trials prompted independent monitors to halt the late stage study early.
This past weekend, Novartis presented the data behind the monitor's decision and that data may be compelling enough to turn LCZ696 into a blockbuster.
In the phase 3 trial, LCZ696 faced-off against enalapril and over a 27 week period, patients receiving LCZ696 showed both a lower rate of death and a lower rate of hospitalization for heart failure. Overall, 21.8% of those taking LCZ696 either died or had been hospitalized due to their condition, versus 26.5% for those taking enalapril.
Fool-worthy final thoughts
That 20% improvement is significant enough that Novartis plans to file for U.S. approval of LCZ696 later this year and European approval early next year.
Since there has been little improvement in drug therapy since Diovan, LCZ696 may find that both doctors and patients willingly embrace it. If that proves true, LCZ696 will go a long way to sure-ing up Novartis' sales in the face of mounting generic competition.

It's a traditional wisdom to think of researchers as loners. Not absolutely incorrect too. But the lonesomeness of a creature who is, on the average, more intelligent than most would strike as rather queer to the curious. Why does the creature with a beautiful mind seek the little window of the cyberspace to communicate with the rest of the world? This question can be approached from various angles: biological, sociological, philosophical...perhaps historical and anthropolical too!
But the above cartoon just intends to make you smile because one time or another, we all are like the above character! I often am. :)

1 POINT AND SHOOT A Documentary Film by Two-Time Academy Award Nominated Filmmaker, Marshall Curry Directed by Marshall Curry Runtime: 83 minutes Facebook.com/PointAndShootFilm Twitter.com/PointShootFilm Tribeca Film Festival Best Documentary Feature Gotham Award Best Documentary Nominee IDA Award Best Feature Nominee Theatrical Opening Dates: Landmark Sunshine Cinema, New York October 31, 2014 Landmark NuArt, Los Angeles November 14, Cities Nationwide Starting November 21, 2014 US Distribution: The Orchard Matt Landers International Distribution: ro*co films international Cristine Platt Dewey
2 Synopsis In 2006, Matt VanDyke, a timid 26-year-old with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, left home in Baltimore and set off on a self-described crash course in manhood. He bought a motorcycle and a video camera and began a multi-year, 35,000-mile motorcycle trip through Northern Africa and the Middle East. While traveling, he struck up an unlikely friendship with a Libyan hippie, and when revolution broke out in Libya, Matt joined his friend in the fight against dictator Muammar Gaddafi. With a gun in one hand and a camera in the other, Matt fought in -- and filmed -- the war until he was captured by Gaddafi forces and held in solitary confinement for six months. Two-time Academy Award nominated documentary filmmaker Marshall Curry tells this harrowing and sometimes humorous story of a young man s search for political revolution and personal transformation. Director s Note Two years ago, I got an from Matt VanDyke. He introduced himself, said he had seen my films, and told me he had recently returned from Libya where he had gone to help rebels overthrow dictator Muammar Gaddafi. He said he had hundreds of hours of footage from the experience and thought it would make a good documentary. I was intrigued, but explained that I only worked on projects where I had complete creative control and independence, and he agreed to that. A few weeks later he came to New York and spent an afternoon telling his story to my producing partner, Elizabeth Martin (who is also my wife), and me. Matt was a fascinating person, hard to pin down. His story was rich with questions about adventuring, passion, crossing cultures, chasing adulthood, and the way we craft ourselves. After he left, my wife and I talked for hours, turning over his story and the issues it had raised. Stimulating conversations like the ones we were having is the reason I make documentaries. So I thought, Let s make a film that replicates the experience we just had where the audience simply sits down with a stranger and hears his amazing story and then walks out of the theater to grapple with it. When I was younger I used to love hitchhiking because it brought me in touch with people whom I would otherwise never meet -- people whose lives and world-views were completely different from mine. I loved asking questions and digging for the stories that made them who they were. And I always found myself stretched by the experience a tiny bit wiser about the complexity of human experience. Like Kid Stays in the Picture or Fog of War, this film would be built around one person s subjective recounting of his life. And I knew that different people would interpret their 2
3 85-minute car ride with Matt VanDyke differently. Was he Lawrence of Arabia? Don Quixote? Christopher McCandless from Into the Wild? Ernest Hemingway in the Spanish Civil War? Or some combination who had changed and morphed over the course of his life? We would pose questions through the narrative, but we weren t going to answer them for the audience. It wasn t going to be Hollywood movie, sewn up neatly at the end. And it wasn t going to be a 60-Minutes style investigative report where I tried to win arguments with Matt on camera, Mike Wallace style. This was going to be a film for people who like to chew their own food. So I took a cameraman to Baltimore and over the course of a few months, recorded twenty-something hours of interviews with Matt. As a filmmaker, one of the things that struck me about Matt s story was the role that cameras played, not simply in documenting his life, but in shaping it. Inspired by an Australian proto-reality TV show, he sets off not just to have an adventure but to cast himself as a character in an adventure movie. Salman Rushdie has said that telling stories about our lives gives us control over them. Those stories not only shape how the world sees us, but shape how we see ourselves. Today, it seems, we often tell these stories with our cameras, posting selfies on Facebook and Twitter to craft our identities. Matt does this throughout the film, at one point creating a braver, more confident version of himself with a tougher sounding name-- Max Hunter. But what is so interesting to me, is that he isn t just image making. As Matt explains, he actually felt himself starting to become the character who initially he was simply playing on film. And we see others doing the same thing. In Iraq, American soldiers ask Matt to film them kicking in a door, acting out their idealized image of a Hollywood soldier. (As Matt says, They wanted to be filmed acting like soldiers, even though that s what they actually were. ) And Libyan soldiers, as well, as friends to film them as they spray machine gun fire in the middle of battle. Even as they were engaged in the most dangerous, high-minded acts of self-sacrifice imaginable, they wanted to have footage of themselves looking like Hollywood heroes. At the end of the war, there were even rebels who filmed gruesome selfies as they killed Gaddafi. As I edited through the hours and hours of footage, I began to notice the power of home-made images in almost every scene. Activists in the Arab Spring use ubiquitous cell phones to document and drive their revolutions. Matt uses his camera to control his Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: putting a frame around an experience somehow turns it into something he can control. And toward the end, Matt explains that even 3
4 though he had been a part of the rebellion for months-- it was seeing himself on national news that truly validated his role as a rebel fighter. Seeing it on television made it true. To me, this movie is an adventure story that flashes light on questions that interest me. How do we define manhood or adulthood? How should we spend our lives? Where should we place ourselves on the spectrum between a fearful life trapped in a cubicle and ill-considered recklessness? What complex forces political and psychological drive us to do the things we do? What are our moral responsibilities when people are suffering far away? What do we need to carefully consider before jumping into distant conflicts? Does filming ourselves and broadcasting ourselves on Twitter and Facebook change how we act and who we become? What does it mean that we have all become brand managers of our public personas? And what is the interplay between our personas and our true selves do we eventually become the characters we play? How does filming something -- like violence -- change it? How does it change us? Ross McElwee describes how seeing something through a camera lens strips it of some of its power over us, but are there some things that shouldn t have their sacred power stripped away? After our premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival, I walked across the street to have dinner. In the restaurant I could year two separate tables where people were yelling at each other, arguing about the issues that the film raises and that was music to a documentary-filmmaker s ears. Background / Frequently Asked Questions Q: How did the director, Marshall Curry, and Matt VanDyke meet? A: (This is described in more detail in the Director s Statement above.) Matthew had seen Marshall s work and sent him an in 2013 describing his story and the footage that he had shot. They met in NY and a few months later, did the first interview which makes up the spine of the film. Q: Matt VanDyke is listed as a producer on the film. What does that mean? A: As the cinematographer of most of the footage in the film and the person who produced those shoots, it made sense for him to be recognized as a Producer. However, Marshall Curry had complete creative control and independence in directing and editing the film. Curry also raised the entire budget of the film independently, through presales to broadcasters such as PBS (POV and ITVS) and BBC, as well as grants from Tribeca Film Institute, Cinereach, Influence Film Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, and one investor (Vijay Vaidyanathan) who supports a variety of documentary films. Elizabeth Martin was also a producer on the film and oversaw 4
5 post-production. Q: How much did you shoot? How long did it take to edit? A: We recorded twenty-something hours of interviews with Matt. He had shot between one and two hundred hours of footage over the years, chronicling his years traveling through Northern Africa and the Middle East. It took around a year to edit. Marshall was the primary editor, but he brought in Matthew Hamachek (with whom he had worked on Racing Dreams and If a Tree Falls) to help finish the film. Q: Did Matt get his camera back after he was captured? How did you have footage shown in the film? A: When Matt was captured, his camera was taken and he did not get it back. Fortunately, a couple days before going to Brega where he was captured, he had backed up all of his footage onto a hard drive and stashed it in Benghazi. So the only footage that was lost was from the days between the back-up and his capture. After he got out of prison, he bought a new camera and resumed shooting. Q: How was the animation done? A: Since Matt s camera was confiscated while he was in prison, there was no footage of his time there. However, after the war, Matt went back to the prison and shot footage of his cell. The film s animator, Joe Posner (who had worked previously with Marshall on IF A TREE FALLS), used that footage to build a 3D animation of the cell. We decided at the beginning that we wanted all of the shots to be from Matt s point of view, to give the audience the feeling of being in the cell. So after building the 3D environment, Joe hand-painted the impressionistic cell animation of Matt s hands, feet, hallucinations, etc. The sound design for this section was done at Skywalker Sound. Q: What has Matt been doing since returning home from Libya? A: After coming home, Matt re-connected with Lauren and his family. He then decided to go to Syria, to film the war there and use media to support the rebellion. (He has not been a fighter in that war.) The result of his time in Syria was the short film NOT ANYMORE, A STORY OF REVOLUTION, which has received numerous awards from film festivals around the world. About the Filmmakers Marshall Curry, Director, Producer, Editor Marshall Curry is a two-time Academy Award nominated documentary director. He got his start directing, shooting, and editing STREET FIGHT, which follows Cory Booker's first run for mayor of Newark, NJ. It aired on PBS, the BBC, HBO Latin America, and was nominated for an Academy Award and an Emmy. After STREET FIGHT, Curry was the director and producer, as well as one of the cinematographers and editors, of RACING DREAMS, which follows two boys and a girl who dream of racing in NASCAR. The film won numerous awards, including Best Documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival and is being developed into a fiction film by Dreamworks. Curry's third 5
6 documentary (director, editor, writer), IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT, follows an environmentalist who faced life in prison for burning two timber facilities. It won the Sundance Film Festival award for Best Documentary Editing and was nominated for an Academy Award. Most recently, Curry was Executive Producer (and additional editor) of MISTAKEN FOR STRANGERS, a heartbreaking comedy rock-doc about sibling rivalry in the band, The National. It was the opening night film at the Tribeca Film Festival, where it received rave reviews. Elizabeth Martin, Producer Though Elizabeth Martin has worked with Marshall Curry on all his previous documentaries, this is the first film that she has produced. Previously, Elizabeth founded and served as Executive Director of WomensLaw.org, a nonprofit organization providing legal information and support for victims of domestic violence and sexual assault throughout the United States. In this capacity, Elizabeth and WomensLaw.org received a Webby Award, the Sunshine Lady Foundation Peace Award, and a Celebrating Solutions Award. She has been profiled in several articles and books on social change and philanthropy, including most recently, Giving 2.0, by Laura Arrillaga- Andreessen. Matt VanDyke, Cinematographer, Producer Matthew VanDyke has spent years in North Africa and the Middle East, traveling (often by motorcycle) and filming various projects. He joined the rebel army during the Libyan Revolution, documenting his experiences in the war while fighting in it. During the war he was captured and held as a prisoner of war for nearly six months in two of Libya's most notorious prisons, before escaping from prison and returning to combat on the front lines. After the war in Libya, VanDyke went to Syria where he shot and directed the award-winning short film, NOT ANYMORE: A STORY OF REVOLUTION, which won over 80 awards and was screened in more than 250 film festivals around the world. In addition to being a documentary filmmaker, VanDyke appears regularly in the media and as a speaker at various events. Matt Hamachek, Additional Editor Matthew Hamachek began his career working on the Oscar-nominated documentary STREET FIGHT with Marshall Curry and went on to collaborate with Curry again on several films including, RACING DREAMS (Tribeca Film Festival Best Documentary), and IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT, which won the Documentary Editing award at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary. Hamachek also won the editing award at the 2013 Sundance film festival for GIDEON'S ARMY. Since then he has edited MISTAKEN FOR STRANGERS about the band The National, and CONSOLE WARS (Executive Producers Scott Rudin and Seth Rogen) about the battle between Sega and Nintendo in 90s. He is currently editing Matthew Heineman's (ESCAPE FIRE) film CARTEL LAND. James Baxter, Composer James Baxter is an electronic musician and composer known primarily for his work with 6
7 Marshall Curry on his Oscar-nominated documentaries, STREET FIGHT and IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT. He also scored the short ANTI-MUSE and produces music as alrightspider. James studied music at Yale and audio engineering at Full Sail. Joe Posner, Animation Joe Posner works at the intersection of documentary film and motion design. He has contributed design and animation to several documentary films including Eugene Jarecki's chapter of FREAKONOMICS (2010) about Roe v. Wade, and Marshall Curry s previous film IF A TREE FALLS: A STORY OF THE EARTH LIBERATION FRONT (Oscar Nominee, 2011). He also created a series of animated political video essays called OP-VIDEO for Newsweek & The Daily Beast and directed shorts for Marketplace and Brown University.

It is not always easy to find the perfect rug, whether it is the right colour or right shape and size. There are ways to find the perfect rug, or you can make a rug into the perfect rug. when looking for good area rugs don't forget about going to reputable auction houses.
In Victoria BC we have two very good auction houses where you can get a great deal on area rugs, Lund's Auction and Kilshaw's Auctioneer. Luv-A-Rug gets a lot of rugs brought in for cleaning and repairs that were bought at either Auction House. We had one such rug find brought to us by a lady who frequence the auctions a couple of weeks ago, but it wasn't quite perfect.
Her rug is a 7×11 Turkish rug and it is not in perfect condition, but she got it for a steal of a price. The rug is a bit too big for the space where she wants to use, so Luv-A-Rug is going clean her rug and trim it down to the size that fits. Here is my video showing what we are going to do to her Turkish rug.
It is important that you know that you can have perfect rug for your home, it just may need some tweaking. Luv-A-Rug as made runners out of little 2×3 scatter mats a client bought at Capital Iron here in Victoria. We are usually only limited by the rug construction and your budget.
Now I will note that Luv-A-Rug will not do this to any old rug. We respect and care about rugs, so if you brought us a valuable rug we would refuse to cut it up, but we can always do an authentic hand repair to restore your antique rugs to a usable and lovable state.
Have you ever found the perfect rug that wasn't quite the right size or shape? Did you buy it and get it tweaked? I would love to see how you made not so perfect rugs work in your home.

La Carnita1:12 PM
So... I may have found my new favourite Mexican restaurant in Toronto. Last weekend, T and I decided to spend an evening downtown and ended up in Little Italy (the irony). La Carnita is a beautiful celebration of Mexican street food, music and art. Loud, yes. Crowded, yes. Worth it? YES.
If you're planning a visit, make sure you're either okay with an early dinner or a wait. We arrived at 5:30, and luckily got seated immediately. Not long after, there was already a huge line forming at the door so be prepared!
Negra Modela - mexican brown lager, served in a spiced-rimmed Mason glass!
Mexican street corn with crema, queso anejo, arbol and ancho chilli powder.
(Reminiscing on how delicious this was makes me cry. I'm pretty sure I can eat this, and only this, as a meal.)
Tortilla chips with ancho chilli powder, guacamole, sikil pak and mezcal chipotle liver paté
In Cod We Trust | Voltron sauce, lime crema, pickled red cabbage, green apple and cilantro
Pollo Frito | Peanut mole sauce, pickled green cabbage and salsa fresca
Beef Cheek | Ancho braised cheek, lime avocado, green cabbage, pickled jalapeño and shallots
We then finished off the meal with fresh churros and housemade cajeta, a confection of thickened syrup made from caramelized milk (not pictured, they were long gone before I remembered to snap a pic, oops).
As a final touch, the server gave us this fun print from a local artist.
All in all, it was a scrumptious meal and I would go again. Tomorrow.

Press release
Specialist magazines merger could face in-depth investigation
Future's anticipated acquisition of Miura (Holdings) Ltd, the parent of Imagine, could face an in-depth investigation over competition concerns.
Future plc (Future) and Imagine Publishing Ltd (Imagine) are both prominent publishers of specialist magazines as well as bookazines, applications and websites. Their titles overlap in computing, website design and 3D modelling, gadgets, gaming, sci-fi, and photography.
In its initial investigation, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) found that after the merger is completed, the companies' titles will be sufficiently constrained by competing magazines or similar online content with the exception of sci-fi magazines.
The companies' sci-fi titles ('SFX' and 'Sci-Fi Now') compete closely and the available evidence showed that other magazines and online content only impose a limited competition constraint. By reducing competition between sci-fi magazine titles, the merger may therefore lead to higher prices or a reduction in choice and quality for readers.
The merger will therefore be referred for an in-depth investigation by an independent group of CMA panel members unless Future and Imagine can offer an acceptable solution to address these competition concerns in a clear-cut manner.
Sheldon Mills, Senior Director of Mergers and decision maker in this case, said:
These magazines are specialist interest titles and the readers are hobbyists or professionals. The companies put to us that the magazine industry has faced a structural decline due to growth of online advertising and readership. We found some evidence in this case that readers and advertisers consider online content to be a good alternative to print magazines, but not in all areas.
In sci-fi, the evidence pointed towards print magazines serving a distinct need for readers and so, unless this aspect of the merger is changed, the merger may increase the incentive to raise the price or reduce the quality of those magazine titles – particularly to the detriment of the readers.
Notes for editors
The CMA is the UK's primary competition and consumer authority. It is an independent non-ministerial government department with responsibility for carrying out investigations into mergers, markets and the regulated industries and enforcing competition and consumer law. For more information on the CMA see our homepage or follow us on Twitter @CMAgovuk, Flickr and LinkedIn. Sign up to our email alerts to receive updates on merger cases.
Under the Enterprise Act 2002 (the Act) the CMA has a duty to make a merger reference, resulting in an in-depth phase 2 merger investigation, if the CMA believes that it is or may be the case that a 'relevant merger situation' has been created, or arrangements are in progress or in contemplation which, if carried into effect, will result in the creation of a relevant merger situation; and that the creation of that situation has resulted, or may be expected to result, in a substantial lessening of competition within any market or markets in the United Kingdom for goods or services.
Under the Act a 'relevant merger situation' is created if 2 or more enterprises have ceased to be distinct enterprises; and the value of the turnover in the United Kingdom of the enterprise being taken over exceeds £70 million ('the turnover test') or as a result of the transaction, in relation to the supply of goods or services of any description, a 25% share of supply in the UK (or a substantial part of the UK) is created or enhanced ('the share of supply test').
The CMA considers that it is under a duty to make a phase 2 merger reference in this case under the Act. However, the duty to refer is not exercised while the CMA is considering whether to accept undertakings in lieu of a reference. Future and Imagine have until 14 October 2016 to offer an undertaking to the CMA that might be accepted by the CMA. If no undertaking is offered or accepted, then the CMA will by 21 October 2016 refer the merger for a phase 2 merger investigation.
All the CMA's functions in phase 2 merger investigations are performed by inquiry groups chosen from the CMA's panel members. The appointed inquiry group are the decision makers on merger investigations. The CMA's panel members come from a variety of backgrounds, including economics, law, accountancy and/or business; the membership of an inquiry group usually reflects a mix of expertise and experience (including industry experience).
The text of this decision will be placed on the case page in due course.
Media enquiries should be directed to Neil Kernohan (email@example.com), 020 3738 6170).

I've been in a white mood recently but I live a way too creative lifestyle to actually manage to keep an outfit white all day so I've been going for pastel prints like these. I am so in love with this skirt, it's all my pastel, kitsch, Japanese dreams come true. The print even includes an adorable little milkshake eraser!
Also today I ran into one of my favourite bloggers and current number one style icon, Helena of Bell's Fashion, who was in Manchester to shoot with We Are Cow. It was so lovely to meet her and she looked colourful and funky as always! :)

DO NOT BE SURPRISED by the fiery attacks on your mind. When you struggle to find Me and to live in My Peace, don't let discouragement set in. You are engaged in massive warfare, spiritually speaking. The evil one abhors your closeness to Me, and his demonic underlings are determined to destroy our intimacy. When you find yourself in the thick of battle, call Name:"Jesus, help me!!" At that instant, the battle becomes Mine; your role is simply to trust Me as I fight for you.
Control your Mind!!!

|G &G Creations Love Collection
Jewelry design firm, G &G Creations, was named the winner of a jewelry industry's career-building competition: Future of Design.
The winners were announced March 12, after finalists made a live "Shark Tank"-like presentation to a panel of judges and an audience of industry VIPs, press and fellow designers.
"We are overwhelmed and so proud," said winning designer Vahe Ghazarhian on behalf of his team. "We have been working on our application for a very long time and we used all the feedback and advice we've gotten since last year's contest when we were a semi-finalist. We have improved every aspect of our business since last year to better align our efforts with our potential."
The Future of Design contest is a business incubator competition that nurtures emerging design talent in the fine jewelry industry. It is unique in both the extent of the prize package it provides and that it puts the designers' business acumen on an equal footing with his or her design talent. It was created in 2012 by Cindy Edelstein of the Jeweler's Resource Bureau and Andrea Hill of StrategyWerx.
The contest was judged live at MJSA Expo New York by Edelstein, Hill, Hedda Schupak, editor of the Centurion Newsletter, and Ann Arnold, president/CEO of Lieberfarb. An additional judge who had been actively involved in the judging process up to this point, Bruce Pucciarello, owner of Novell Design Studio, couldn't be present at the live event but his opinions were factored into the decision.
|The winners of the Future of Design Competition with the judges.
"The judging was one of the most challenging tasks I've ever faced," said Edelstein. "The margin of difference between the three finalists was paper thin but in the end the judges felt that G&G Creations had the most powerful mix of amazing product design, agile business practices and marketability. They will become an important contribution to the fine jewelry community."
As the winner, G&G Creations will receive business services and support from a variety of industry organizations that have come together in their support of the next generation of jewelry designers.
The live finale included 10-minute presentations by all three finalists, including runners-up Lisa Adkinson of Lisa Robin Jewelry, and Suneera Swarup of Suneera Fine Jewelry Design. Each designer was tasked with making a final pitch to the judging panel that explained their work, inspiration and plans for the future. Panelists and audience members, including competition "dream team" members Robert Lee Morris, Penny Preville and Lisa Jenks probed further into each designer's vision with tough questions about manufacturing, retailers, marketing and price points.
While G&G Creations was named the winner, co-creator Andrea Hill noted that all three finalists will receive help in the coming months. "We have a deep commitment to the three finalists. We feel strongly that everyone who entered this contest should benefit somehow," Hill said. "All designers receive a 5-7 page analysis and recommendations report regarding their application. We are trying to help a wide swatch of designers grow stronger businesses."

Chandigarh, June 21 (PTI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who today joined over 30,000 people here for the second International Yoga Day celebrations, freely mingled with the participants, obliging them with selfies and talking briefly with the divyangs.
Soon after addressing the gathering for about 25 minutes, Modi climbed down from the podium but before joining the participants to perform "asanas", went straight to meet the divyangs, the nomenclature coined by him for the differently-abled, youths and people from economically weaker sections.
For the first time, 150 divyangs were assisted in performing Yoga asanas at the Capitol Complex here, the venue of the mega event.
Modi also interacted with the inmates of Paraplegic Rehabilitation Centre (PRC), Mohali, who were doing asanas on wheel-chairs.
A group of 16 such inmates, many of them from the Army who have been left paralysed owing to injuries sustained during various operations, had come to the Capitol Complex here today to participate in the Yoga Day celebrations.
Modi then walked around, surveying people performing asanas before settling down on a mat and joining them.
The Prime Minister then participated in a mass demonstration of Common Yoga Protocol.
Dressed in a white-coloured t-shirt and track pants along with a scarf, Modi skipped the VVIP front row where Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, States Health Minister Anil Vij, Haryana BJP President Subhash Barala, Ambala MP R L Kataria and Kalka MLA Latika Sharma were performing asanas, and occupied a mat in one of the back rows with other participants.
A yoga enthusiast himself, Modi performed asanas for nearly 25 minutes on the red-coloured carpet.
Towards the end, Modi freely mingled with the participants, who surrounded him from all sides, giving them a rare opportunity to take selfies with the Prime Minister, who willingly obliged.
Secretary AYUSH, Ajit Mohan Sharan and a number of bureaucrats from Haryana, Union Minister Vijay Sampla, Chandigarh BJP President Sanjay Tandon also performed asanas on the occasion.
Punjab Governor Kaptan Singh Solanki, Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal and AYUSH Minister Shirpad Naik were seated on the dias. PTI SUN AKA SAI SK SAI

Author and activist Bill McKibben, a Johnsburg resident and Middlebury college professor addresses the crowd at a civil disobedience protest. The event is scheduled to end Sept. 3, a total of two weeks protesting outside the White House.
WASHINGTON — Longtime Johnsburg resident and Middlebury college professor Bill McKibben's civil disobedience display outside President Barack Obama's yard is winding down to its Sept. 3 end.
McKibben and others are protesting a planned oil pipeline project, called the Keystone XL, that will run 1,384 miles through the western U.S. and 327 miles in Canada, connecting Alberta to Texas. Because the pipeline crosses an international border, it requires presidential approval. That led the protest to the White House, in close viewing distance of Obama.
McKibben and others are breaking the law in the tourist-heavy area by occupying an area where visitors are required to keep moving. When they don't stay in motion and refuse to move when asked, the protesters are manacled and put into a paddywagon, said McKibben. They're released a few hours later.
The first weekend, Aug. 20 and 21, McKibben and others were detained in D.C. Metro Police's central cell block. McKibben spent two nights in jail before his court date. The judge, appalled at his treatment, dropped all charges.
On Sept. 1, the protest's website, tarsandsaction.org, counted 834 people arrested in the demonstration with two days remaining.
Following Irene's devastation in Vermont, state residents traveled to Washington to protest the pipeline's approval, said McKibben. The tar sands deposit in Canada is the second-largest deposit of oil on the planet, and burning its resources will heavily damage the climate by accelerating global warming, said McKibben.
The pipeline is also projected to have a more direct impact when it's built and moving oil.
Some of the planned 1,711-mile pipeline will pass over a Nebraska aquifer that will be only 10 feet below the oil-sluicing conduit.
"That's just not commonsensical; it's not what a reasonable person would do," McKibben said.
The U.S. Department of State released its Final Environmental Impact Statement Aug. 26. According to the report's executive summary, "In spite of the safety measures … spills are likely to occur during operation over the lifetime of the project."
Another part of the pipeline, simply called Keystone, opened in 2010 and has had 14 leaks since. Seven of the leaks were less than 10 gallons, four more were 100 gallons or less, two were between 400 and 500 gallons and the biggest spilled more than 21,000 gallons.
"It depends on whether you think spills are bad or not," said McKibben. "If you live there, they're obviously bad. If you're a businessman who lives hundreds or thousands of miles away, what the hell do you care?"
Keystone has estimated spills for the XL pipeline at 0.22 per year, while the DoS has estimated a much higher rate of spills, at around 1.78 to 2.51 annually.
The maximum spill estimated could come in at 2.8 million gallons, according to Keystone estimates. In comparison, the massive Exxon Valdez oil spill was estimated at between 67 and 195 million gallons.
The DoS report emphasized that demand on Gulf of Mexico refining will increase soon, and the great capacity of the XL pipeline, as much as 830,000 barrels of oil daily, or 216.6 million gallons is needed to keep up production.
McKibben said that it's true that if we want to keep on burning oil in SUVs, then yes, we'll need to increase capacity. But he doesn't agree that a consumptive America is the right future.

Memorable moments from the 2007-08 Cape and Islands high school girls basketball season.
Our writers all had different ideas about how to present their favorite moments in the sports they covered. Here on the Web, we're going to give them to you as they intended. So, past tense or present tense, listed by name, by school or by date, these are what our reporters remember about the winter season:
In one of the key matchups of the season, Jill Lyon scored 20 points and Morgan Kendrew 18 to lead Barnstable over archrival Falmouth, 58-40. The victory qualified the Red Raiders for Division 1 South Sectionals.

Roni Lavelle led the Crusaders with 12 points, while Cryer added 10. Cosgrove led all scorers for Upper Cape with 21 points.
Despite 33 points by Rayven Tillman, Cape Tech pulled out another close game in a 59-57 three-overtime triumph over Sturgis on a key jump shot by Brianna Thompson with 11 seconds remaining in the third OT. Cryer�s 18 points led the Crusaders.
After being honored in pre-game ceremonies on Senior Night at Provincetown, the trio of Holly Rose, Brandi Webber and Shelby Zawaduk combined for 23 points to lead the Fishermen to a 48-17 romp over Sturgis and clinch a MIAA Div. 4 South berth for the winners, who improved to 10-10.
