Rainforest-grown, certified organic and fairly traded yerba mate. In 1996, Guayaki was seeded in California's central coast by two university buddies. Alex Pryor from Buenos Aires, and David Karr from Northern California. As good friends and passionate yerba mate drinkers, David and Alex set out to share the yerba mate plant with the world, recognizing that people were in need of a nourishing source of energy and a healthy dose of optimism. As good fortune would have it, co-founders Alex and David were swiftly joined by three other pioneering

"City Lullaby"
I'll sing to you from across the street
a city lullaby of buses rumbling past,
voices phone-babbling away,
birds chirping ear-clampingly loud,
squirrels chattering crossly in the park
when they go unfed.
I'll weave for you a city lullaby
of smells from a hundred rolling food trucks,
the sight of a crowded courteous sidewalk,
too many cars, yet there's room to be, somehow.
I'll hum for you a city lullaby,
corners bubbling over with art,
fights right under everyone's nose,
long winter walks that numb your fingers stiff.
I'll croon for you a city lullaby,
noisy friendly laughter, hands held out,
new exploring 'round every corner,
roughness and dirt, clear sharp bright spring air,
life happening now and now and now…
Hush, my city, in sleeping-time,
together we'll waltz to quick dream-tunes,
smile at each other when the music rests.
~ Marta Ziemelis. Written in Riga, Latvia, copyright June 2013.
You can thank a scratched green bus shelter for the title of this post, because that's where I was two days ago when I had the idea for this piece. It's dedicated to Toronto, which, I suppose, I think of as one of my homes, even though I haven't lived there for a couple of years now.
Also, two days ago was this blog's first birthday, so happy Blogiversary! Thank you to everyone for visiting and reading, it means a lot to me to have such a friendly and supportive audience. I'll keep writing, and feel free to prod me whenever it's been too long since my latest post! Feel welcome to share your work and ideas with me, I'm always excited to learn about different kinds of art. Love to you all!

Running Economy
- 3.3k Downloads
- Citations
Running performance depends on maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max), the ability to sustain a high percentage of V̇O2max for an extended period of time and running economy. Running economy has been studied relatively less than the other factors. Running economy, measured as steady state oxygen uptake V̇O2) at intensities below the ventilatory threshold is the standard method. Extrapolation to a common running speed (268 m/min) or as the V̇O2 required to run a kilometer is the standard method of assessment. Individuals of East African origin may be systematically more economical, although a smaller body size and a thinner lower leg may be the primary factors. Strategies for improving running economy remain to be developed, although it appears that high intensity running may be a common element acting to improve economy.

160 NE 41st Street Miami, FL 33137
星期一 - 星期日 11:00 - 19:00
Aesop Design District, the company's third presence in Miami, is designed by the Brazilian firm Metro Arquitetos Associados. The store is the firm's debut project in the United States and their second collaboration with Aesop. To contrast the often-opulent sparkle of the neighbourhood, Metro Arquitetos Associados were guided by the design principles of simplicity and reduction.
The space explores synergies between the Brazilian modernist tradition and the Art Deco geometrics that proliferate in South Beach. Reminiscent of local landmarks—including the Miami Beach Post Office built in 1937 and the recently opened Faena Arts Center—the 417-square foot space also brings to mind the crisp vocabulary of Brazilian sculptor Sergio Camargo. The result is a clever reflection on the sculptural forms of Miami's iconic buildings.
Within the store's zinc-clad exterior lies a bright space of concrete, polished plaster, and terrazzo in pale, almost white, tones. Their smooth yet imperfect surfaces suggest a haptic space formed of large stones: an uncomplicated, if recreated, nature. The design deliberately avoids right angles and contrasting colours, delivering a light-filled, monochromatic space of curves and cylinders. Colour and shape reflect a formal purity and simple geometry typical of the design's two architectural influences.

Now that that's out of the way, I thought I'd share a bit about my hobby. I've had a ton of people ask about equipment and classes and books and any other helpful advise I could give on how to shoot a good photo. Let me share a story that's been popping around the internet. It goes something like this:
A photographer attends a dinner party. The hostess comments to her "I love your photographs, what kind of camera do you use?" Later the photographer comments to the hostess "I loved your cooking, what kind of pans did you use?"Obviously, camera equipment does make some impact on the photograph you take, however, you can't miss the point of this story. Whether you use a point-and-shoot, a camera phone, or a professional grade Mark V, there is a lot more to taking successful photos than the camera you shoot with.
I started my hobby years back. As the child of a professional photographer, I spent countless hours in front of painted backdrops holding light sensors. I can smile on command, though it's results are phoned-in. Growing up with the exposure taught me how I'd like to see photos -- and posed is not it. I shot sports in B&W for the high school year book and learned to expose in a dark room. Although fun and foundation building, it proved to be too much work, and I was still a teenager when my dad built a dark room. As an adult, I was quick to embrace digital photography from the start but continued to also shoot with a Minolta film SLR. Although I loved my SLR photos, I fell for the enticing lure of digital with it's instant results and ability to capture a shot correctly before walking away and potentionally missing it forever.
I've owned a couple pocket sized digital point and shoots: HP PhotoSmart and Canon PowerShot. And most recently decided to kick my hobby up a notch. I tip-toed into the DSLR world hesitantly. I took comfort in the Canon PowerShot sx20is for it's safety net of features that combined both the opportunity to learn manual settings while still allowing me point & shoot ease. This beginner camera opened the door to the DSLR world at under $400.
Not only did I have a camera to take me into new comfort levels, I also joined an area photo club that challenged me to take photos as a monthly assignment. There is no better way to learn a camera, or any skill for that matter, than to actively do it. Regularly. Photo club allowed me that purpose. I also signed up for a recreational photography class at my local community college and found a photo mentor who was willing to take me under his wing while challenging and encouraging me to expand my skill set.
After a year of learning with the sx20is, I bought the real deal, a Canon Rebel T1i. I felt so big time with all it's relative power and need for additional lenses to be manually selected based on photos desired. Along with the new lenses came additional challenges, but I was learning quickly.
I still shoot and love my Rebel. I have 3 lenses, though rarely remove my 1.8 50mm. In my opinion, it can't be beat for nailing low lighting shots and getting that attractive background blur we all chase after. I'm learning to use my 18-55mm and my 70-200mm more and more but always tend to fall back on my 50mm as a go-to.
Composition is the biggest part of photography and this part can't be bought. It can ONLY be learned through experience. I love the Instagram app for helping me definen my photography style and capture everyday things in a small yet powerful way. Of course the filters don't hurt, but it is a great exercise. And at our fingertips every moment of the day. No reason to miss a shot or NOT be creative.
There it is. My official history of photography. I'm still learning. And still making mistakes. But I find that getting the shot is so much more worthwhile these days.


text: I see this big black Chevy pickup with giant mudtires on a regular basis (lives close by me). Today, on the way to work I passed by him, as I was passing by him, going the opposite way, this guy goes out of his way to stick his arm out the window and shoot me the bird. Since I'm pretty sure I have never done anything to this person, my first assumption is it's because I'm driving one them "electric things". I must be a raging hippie, one them liberal environmentalist...... If it was a random encounter I wouldn't think much of it, but since I will be seeing this individual on a semi-regular basis (at least passing by him) I am a bit concerned. Who knows what's going through this kids mind. Unfortunately this has prompted me to start carrying my firearm for protection. Has anyone else experienced this sort of thing? If so did you feel threatened?

How To Give Your Office A Fresh New Look
First things first, you've gotta get your space cleaned and well organized. Start by removing all the clutter from your desktop, then go through your filing cabinet to purge unnecessary documents. Next, venture underneath your desk to rid your workstation of all those crumbs and candy wrappers that have accumulated. You'll also want to properly group and route wires if you can. Feel free to take things a step further by vacuuming, dusting, and cleaning your glass surfaces.
With a clean and well organized space, you'll already feel better. That being said, our mission is not complete! Enlist the help of a coworker to remove any old office furniture you'd like to replace. Swing by home store to pick up a gallon of paint. A fresh coat on the walls will no doubt enhance appeal. This year, jewel tones and grays have been incredibly popular. The days of taupe and lackluster khaki wall colors are long gone. Use a cool color to help showcase your personal style.
If that old desk just isn't cutting it, consider replacing it with a trend setting configuration from one of the years hottest collections. In 2016, you can't go wrong with the Mayline Medina desk collection. This full service casegoods line offers the executive workstations and storage components needed to maximize your interior. Medina offers unmatched value and appeal that make it a must consider for any furniture shopper looking to give their space a fresh new look.
Dealing with discomfort? Improve support and appeal with a new office chair! This year, smart chairs are the way to go. Smart chairs allow you to achieve top notch comfort while minimizing the need for constant adjusting. These "dummy proof" office chairs automatically respond to weight and virtually eliminate the ergonomic learning curve. Top smart chairs like the 6670-2 Arti from Global Total Office are available in open back, mesh, leather, and designer fabric options to compliment your office theme.
You can also improve performance and appeal with key ergonomic accessories. A dual screen monitor arm will reduce eye and neck strain, increase usable workspace, and give your office a high tech look. Other ergonomic items like sit to stand keyboard trays will wow your visitors while making your far more versatile throughout those tough days. Sit to stand products promote continuous movement and reduce fatigue.
Last but certainly not least, you'll want to add a few visual accents to complete the fresh new look you're striving to achieve. We recommend visiting thrift stores and swap meets to find one of a kind items. This year, vintage and retro lighting fixtures have been super popular. Retro items are also great conversation starters that will earn your interior the positive compliments it deserves. Take your time selecting your room accents. You don't have to do it all at once. As you improve your decor over time, you'll help your office create a personality all it's own.

Business ethics can be considered as the standards or rules that govern individuals in organizations and organizations themselves. It is a code of moral principals which set the standards by which behaviour is considered good or bad, right or wrong. A person who displays an ethical behaviour conforms to what's right and good according to the governing moral code or ethical standards.
There are various factors that determine whether behaviour in organizations is ethical or unethical. A just and fair society has laws that serve as the basis of good behaviour. One of these is the respect for human dignity. Organizations that create a culture that values the good for their employees, customers and suppliers, maintain a safe workplace and produce safe products and services are manifesting conformity to the legal right of the people around them. A company that protects the rights of everyone around them and avoids anything that can threaten safety and good living standards is conforming to the respect for the basic rights of people around them. When organizations support social institutions and work with local government and other institutions to protect environment, they are also manifesting an ethical behaviour that shows their concern for other people.
Individual factors such as personal values that are usually a ...
Solution Summary
This solution of 769 words looks at business ethics and the factors that determine ethical or unethical behavior in organizations with examples. It also states a criteria for determining an action as ethical or unethical. References used are included.

Is your fish penitential enough?
I'm not sure to what extent my friends are joking and to what extent they are serious, but that's what they're talking about. Such-and-such lenten-compliant food is far too good be considered a penance. You must eat this-and-so instead!
No, no, no, and no.
If your idea of being a good Catholic is to find a way to thwart the spirit of the law by wallowing in luxury, you have problems. Your problems will not be fixed by a greasy fish sandwich.
What the Church asks is that we abstain from meat on Fridays, done. That's the law. What she also asks is that we take on a spirit of penitence throughout the season of Lent, with particular attention to Fridays and perhaps some relaxation on Sundays, depending. That's the pastoral guidance.
If you find abstaining from meat to be easy, congratulations. The way is wide open for you to take on other more rigorous disciplines.
If you find abstaining from meat to be difficult, give it your best. It's not fair, perhaps, that this particular discipline is so much more difficult for you than it is for other people, but then again the crosses of this life never are distributed exactly the same to each one. If you are overwhelmed by the rigors of Lenten abstinence, speak to your pastor. Seek advice particularly if you have some medical reason you probably should not abstain, but you aren't quite sure. The Church isn't seeking to sink you.
So what about lobster and sushi?
Let's back up and ask ourselves: Is it acceptable to eat such luxuries on other days of the year?
The answer, I maintain, is that it depends. Now if you observe a life of solidarity with the poor to such an extent that you would never eat such a thing, then you surpass me exceedingly and I don't really know why you are reading this blog. Please carry on with your devotion and do not let me dissuade you.
If, at the other extreme, you are a thoroughly wretched creature, devoted to nothing but your own pleasure from moment to moment, and that is what motivates your eating of lobster and sushi and gold-crusted cheeses carried on the backs of famished peasants who crawl through tunnels and tiptoe around lava pits to bring you the rarest and most precious of delicacies . . . how about you have a fish sandwich just to see what it's like?
Said more seriously: Don't delude yourself into thinking that observing the letter of the law is a Get Out of Hell Free pass. (There is such a thing, but it doesn't involve eating lobster. Or fish sandwiches.)
Those of us who live in the middle have to exercise the virtue of prudence concerning our own plates, and the virtue of Minding Your Own Business concerning the plates of others. While we ought not excuse ourselves too lightly from the rigors of penance, there are any number of reasons that on some Friday in Lent the eating of a relatively luxurious item might in fact be entirely consistent with a sound spiritual life.
–> To evaluate, take into account both the particular circumstances of the meal at hand and the context of your Lenten observances overall.
- Do you have other better choices?
- Is this a special occasion?
- Do you even get to choose the menu, or are you at someone else's mercy?
- Are you making a suitable effort to be penitential this Lent?
- Or are you just cruising along all week with no regard for the spirit of the season?
- Is this item in fact a gratuitous luxury compared to your other options, or does it just have that reputation as a byword?
But in all cases, you are only evaluating your personal spiritual life. I hope you do that all year.
Scott Reeves has an excellent post on what penance is, and why and how it helps us.

I wait in the quiet of dawn suspended behind the darkness of night. Snow blankets the world outside my window. I wait.
He is coming, they sing. His birth heralded around the world by shepherds watching and three Kings drawing near. Angels we have heard on high.
He is coming.
And the world waits. It waits for a child to be born of Mary. A child for whom good tidings will ring across the land. Hail Mary full of grace. Your time draws near.
Draw near. Draw nearer my heart and let its beat call you into this song of hope. Sing loud this song of peace for all mankind.
Sing loud. Rejoice. Rejoice O Israel. To thee shall come Emmanuel.
Come. Come into my heart and let joy to the world resound with every breath. Let joy become me.
Joy to the world. He is coming.
Let us rejoice.
Believer or non-believer, Christian, Buddhist, Jew or Muslim. No matter our faith, let us rejoice in this prayer for hope, peace, love and joy in our world.
Let peace become us.
Let there be peace among us.
Let there be peace.

Jan. 6 --An attorney who represented a lawyer in an ethics proceeding engaged in misconduct of his own by negotiating a settlement agreement that required the complaining party to refuse to cooperate with bar investigators, the Kentucky Supreme Court declared Dec. 19 (Ky. Bar Ass'n v. Unnamed Attorney, 2013 BL 352410, Ky., No. 2012-SC-000388-KB, 12/19/13).
Bar counsel alleged that the lawyer who negotiated the deal violated Kentucky Rule of Professional Conduct 3.130-3.4(g). That rule, patterned on ABA Model Rule 3.4(f), generally states that a lawyer may not "request a person other than a client to refrain from voluntarily giving relevant information to another party."
Voting 5-2, the court agreed. "The plain language of the rule mandates this result," it declared in a majority opinion signed by Chief Justice John D. Minton Jr. The court issued a private reprimand as a sanction.
But Justice Will T. Scott, in a partial dissent joined by Justice Bill Cunningham, said he "strongly" disagreed with the majority's interpretation of Rule 3.4(g). The provision--enacted in 2009--was "not intended to apply to confidentiality and non-cooperation provisions in settlement agreements," Scott said.
The application of Model Rule 3.4(f) in the context of settlements is a subject that has received scant judicial or academic attention.
In a 2008 law review article, University of Connecticut law professor Jon Bauer--one of the few scholars to tackle the issue--described the prohibition on inducing witness noncooperation as "one of the least well-known of lawyers' ethical duties." Bauer, Buying Witness Silence: Evidence-Suppressing Settlements and Lawyers' Ethics, 87 Or. L. Rev. 481, 487 (2008).
Bauer told Bloomberg BNA when asked about the Unnamed Attorney case that he found merit in aspects of all three opinions.
Bauer said that overall he agreed that the plain language of Rule 3.4 compelled a finding of guilt in the case. But he said his own research lends credence to the notice-related concerns expressed in Scott's dissent. "If this is what the rule is, people are consistently violating it," Bauer said. It is for that reason that Bauer endorses one aspect of Abramson's concurrence.
Abramson said she had no "hesitancy in applying [Rule 3.4] to this situation" because the court "should not condone a practice that would make the disciplinary process more difficult." But she added that "further evaluation" was needed to weigh "the broader application of this rule in other contexts."
Bauer agreed with Abramson that the majority should have said more about how Rule 3.4 applies outside the disciplinary context. But he said he was less enamored with the argument that Rule 3.4 should apply differently in civil cases, where secrecy and nondisparagement clauses are ubiquitous parts of settlement agreements.
Bauer acknowledged that lawyers' opinions on that issue split along fairly predictable lines.
Plaintiffs lawyers' tend to view such agreements as a "classic way of suppressing evidence that leads to accountability," he explained. By contrast, he said, in-house and corporate defense counsel tend to be more supportive of such agreements, which they view as a way to "buy peace."
Although some commentators believe authority on the propriety of such agreements is unsettled, Bauer disagrees. A growing body of case law, he said, indicates that they are improper in a broad variety of contexts, including civil cases.
"Private litigation also has a role in enforcing the law," said Bauer, who rejects policy arguments for limiting the scope of Rule 3.4 in civil cases.
He pointed to several cases as supporting that view, including EEOC v. Astra USA, 94 F.3d 738 (1st Cir. 1996) (forbidding agreement that prohibited sexual harassment plaintiff from making disclosures to EEOC); In re JDS Uniphase Corp. Sec. Litig., 238 F. Supp.2d 1127 (N.D. Cal. 2002) (enjoining use of "confidentiality agreements to chill former employees from voluntarily participating in legitimate investigations into alleged wrongdoing"). See also United States ex rel. Longhi v. Lithium Power Techs., Inc., 575 F.3d 458 (5th Cir. 2009) (refusing to enforce employee release of False Claims Act claims).
The dissenters also said the trial commissioner should have admitted expert evidence from an ethics professor about what the rule means.
The respondent in this case, identified only as "Unnamed Attorney," represented a fellow lawyer who was accused of overcharging a client while handling a probate matter.
The client ("Jane Doe") filed a complaint with the Kentucky Bar Association against the probate lawyer. During the initial stages of the ensuing proceedings, Unnamed Attorney arranged a meeting with Doe to discuss a possible settlement.
Bar authorities were notified about the meeting, which ultimately produced a written "release agreement." The agreement called for the probate lawyer to refund a $30,000 fee in exchange for Doe's promise to withdraw her disciplinary complaint.
A noncooperation clause specifically provided that Doe "agrees to the extent permitted by law, to refuse to voluntarily assist or to voluntarily provide information to the KBA or anyone else, regarding the Bar Complaint unless directed to do so pursuant to subpoena, court order or other binding authority."
Bar counsel requested a copy of the settlement agreement--and, after reviewing it, filed a complaint against Unnamed Attorney.
The complaint charged Unnamed Attorney with violating Rule 3.4(a) "by unlawfully obstructing another party's access to evidence, or by counseling or ordering another to do so." It alleged that he also contravened Rule 3.4(g) by requesting that a person who was not his client "refrain from voluntarily giving relevant information to another party."
A trial commissioner found Unnamed Attorney violated both rules, and recommended that he be publicly reprimanded and suspended from practice for 30 days.
On appeal, the bar's board of governors concluded that Unnamed Attorney was not guilty of either charge.
The supreme court reversed in part.
The board, it said, correctly found that the Rule 3.4(a) violation had not been proven. That provision "prohibits a lawyer from unlawfully obstructing another party's access to evidence," the court said, and nothing indicated that the respondent's conduct was unlawful.
However, the court reversed the board's finding that the Rule 3.4(g) charge was not proven.
The supreme court adopted Rule 3.4(g) in 2009. It states:
A lawyer shall not request a person other than a client to refrain from voluntarily giving relevant information to another party unless:
(1) the person is a relative or agent who supervises, directs or regularly consults with the client concerning the matter or has authority to obligate the client with respect to the matter;
(2) the lawyer reasonably believes that the person's interests will not be adversely affected by refraining from giving such information.
"The structure of the rule immediately presents a concern--that is, notably, whether 3.4(g)(1) and 3.4(g)(2) are to be read in the conjunctive or disjunctive," the court observed. That confusion, it said, appears to have been the result of a drafting oversight: "The semicolon after [Rule] 3.4(g)(1) is followed by neither 'and' nor 'or.'" The court pointed out that the ABA template includes an "and."
The court decided that a conjunctive reading was required. It then found that, "Under this interpretation, Unnamed Attorney is guilty of violating [Rule] 3.4(g)," because he did not satisfy the two conditions that must be met to claim an exception to the general rule against inducing parties to withhold voluntary cooperation.
"The plain language of the rule mandates this result," the majority concluded. "We cannot place our imprimatur on settlements that attempt to obstruct the disciplinary process in any way," it added.
Turning to the proper sanction, the court conceded that "Unnamed Attorney's actions were not of a highly objectionable nature as undoubtedly many attorneys may engage in similar conduct outside the disciplinary context." Accordingly, the court concluded that a private reprimand was appropriate.
The majority's reading of Rule 3.4(g) was not shared by University of Kentucky law professor William Fortune, who according to the dissent played a key role in developing the Kentucky rule.
Unnamed Attorney asked Fortune to testify in his disciplinary hearing, but the trial commissioner rejected the proffer after concluding that it needed no expert help in reading and applying the rule.
Unnamed Attorney challenged that ruling, arguing that the decision to exclude Fortune's testimony was an abuse of discretion. The majority was not persuaded.
"Here, the Trial Commissioner was faced with a seemingly novel application of a rule adopted during 'Ethics 2000,' the recent overhaul of our ethics rules," the majority said. "We fail to see how a Trial Commissioner choosing to interpret a particular rule without the aid of a proffered expert is 'arbitrary, unreasonable, unfair, or unsupported by sound legal principles.'"
The dissenters agreed that the respondent did not violate Rule 3.4(a). However, they took issue with the majority's two other conclusions: that he violated Rule 3.4(g) and that the exclusion of Fortune's testimony was not erroneous.
As to the latter issue, the dissent emphasized Fortune's leading role in the Ethics 2000 process in Kentucky. "Plainly, this Court relied heavily on Professor Fortune in the formulation of these rules--and even relied on him to 'sell' the changes to the bar," Scott wrote. "Yet, the majority now feels it would have been improper for the trial commissioner to have listened to the very person this Court entrusted to explain its meaning."
Scott cited Fortune's written report that "the legislative history and secondary authorities do not support the proposition that the rule was intended to apply to non-cooperation agreements contained in settlements."
Fortune, who declined Bloomberg BNA's request for comment, also warned in his oral testimony that "the ramifications of [applying] this rule to provisions in a settlement in a civil case are very far reaching."
The dissenters agreed. "Because confidentiality and noncooperation provisions are customary in settlement agreements, applying this rule to those agreements (which by nature restrict the free flow of discoverable information) will have unintended effects," Scott said.
In a separate concurring opinion, Justice Lisabeth Hughes Abramson agreed with the majority's conclusions about use of Rule 3.4(g) in the disciplinary context but added: "As for the broader application of this rule in other contexts, I think this case and the issues it has raised establish the need for further evaluation of the rule by this Court."

Why have members of parliament lost their sense of purpose and self-respect? Why do so many of them apparently see elected office as a means of enriching themselves rather than improving the lives of their constituents? The reason is that ordinary MPs in Westminster have very little power: they are in a very real sense a waste of space, superfluous, lobby fodder. Many have become self-centred careerists, happy to do the bidding of the party whips, provided they get to put their snouts in the trough.
We need to make give MPs a proper job, with real responsibility. There is a fundamental deficiency at the heart of our democratic system which is the source of much of what is wrong in Westminster: the unfair electoral system. We do not have democracy in this country, but elective dictatorship by prime ministers given inflated majorities by a fundamentally unsound and unrepresentative method of voting in general elections. This allows the executive to ride roughshod over parliament and ignore the will of the people.To revive parliamentary democracy we must first of all make parliament democratic. In 2005, Labour won an overall majority of 66 seats on just 35.2% of the vote. No government in history has rested on a flimsier base of popular support. In England, the Conservatives won a majority of the votes but Labour won 92 more seats in parliament than the Tories. I don't know what you call this exactly, but it isn't democracy.
It's not just Labour governments that have benefited from artificially inflated majorities. In the 1980s Margaret Thatcher brought near revolutionary change to Britain - destroying the power of trades unions, privatising state assets, selling council homes - yet she never won more than 43% of the vote. In Labour's largest landslide in 1997, Tony Blair won a 179 seat majority on the basis of only 43% of the vote. And it was very much a personal victory for Tony Blair, who proceeded to run the most centralised and personalised administration in modern times, ignoring parliament - he rarely turned up apart from Prime Minister's Question Time - and ruling through a cabal of trusted advisers from his sofa in the den of Number Ten.
The electoral system is not an abstract issue but a very real cause of bad government. Consider Iraq, when a million people demonstrated against the invasion and the government faced the two greatest backbench rebellions in Labour history. Because of his artificial majority, Tony Blair was able to ignore parliament and the people and launch an illegal war without a second UN resolution. Tens of thousands of lives lost, billions wasted simply on the whim of a Prime Minister who seemed to believe that his judgement was based on divine inspiration. Yet the war would never have happened had the composition of the legislature in Westminster reflected the votes cast in the country at the 1997 and 2001 elections. Tony Blair would not have had a majority for the war because he would have needed the support of the Liberal Democrats and his own backbench to govern. He would have had to come to parliament and argue his case, as in the Scottish Parliament where votes are finely balanced.
Critics of electoral reform say that PR leads to instability. But we have seen in the Scottish case that a minority government elected on a proportional system can govern very effectively, and above all responsibly. Alex Salmond has had to bend to the will of parliament on issues like local income tax - an SNP election manifesto pledge which the Scottish government has abandoned because it could not win the support of the house. That is surely better than a system in which the First Minister had been given unlimited power to get his way. If the Holyrood had been elected under the Westminster system, Alex Salmond might have delivered a unilateral declaration of independence by now, even though a majority of Scots oppose separation. I don't see how that can be seen as more stable than the balanced and
But this isn't just about Prime Ministers. Consider the position of MSPs in Holyrood. In almost every significant vote, they have to examine their consciences and study the issue at hand before they vote. This is because every one of them in the governing party knows that their votes matter, and that they could bring down the government. Similarly, opposition MSPs in Holyrood realise that they can't simply indulge in for opposition for opposition's sake. If they vote against the government they have to accept the possibility that the government might fall and that they might have to step up to the plate. This gives MSPs a clear existential purpose, a profound sense of responsibility as stakeholders in a truly democratic assembly where they and not the executive hold the ultimate power.
Westminster will only be reformed when it grasps the nettle of electoral reform. Tony Blair promised a referendum on the electoral system in 1997, but after he won a landslide majority he conveniently forgot about it. The two party duopoly is underpinned by the electoral system which locks out minor parties. The entire focus of politics becomes the need to win the support of some 800,000 swing voters in key marginal constituencies. Hundreds of MPs in safe seats get a job for life and forget about their constituents. Voters stop voting because their votes don't seem to count for anything.
No one can be in any doubt now that our parliamentary system requires urgent reform. We need openness and transparency at Westminster so that the public can see how public money is spent. We need more powerful select committees and a reduction of the power of the party whips. The unelected House of Lords needs to be reformed following scandals there, and the power to set the date of the general election needs to be taken out of the hands of the prime minister of the day. But before any of these changes can work the balance of power in Westminster must shift fundamentally and irrevocably to parliament and away from the executive. Only fair voting can achieve this, and spark the revival of democratic culture that Britain desperately needs.

Give MPs a proper job.
4 comments:
- Andrew BOD said...
Excellent article Iain.
PR is only one of the measures required to restore the public's confidence in our politicians.
An abolishment of our unelected chamber is another.
Four parliaments and a Senate, with less MPs in a federal system is also required.
Add an essential fully written constitution.
And once that is in place, compulsory voting for every member of the electorate should finish it off. (Iain, you quite rightly point out that Labour won the 2005 election with 35.2% of the popular vote. Even more incredible is the fact that only 22% of the total electorate voted for Labour! This is wholly undemocratic.)
I know that there is no appetite for this, especially in the biggest of the four nations, so an independent Scotland may just work even better.

And I believe you are one of the gentlemen who says that Scotland would be best served by remaining in this non-democratic union.
Why so, Mr McWhirter?
As Andrew BOD pointed out there is a straightforward solution to the problem right down the road at Holyrood.

Let's also reduce the number of MPs and Senators (in both cases drastically).
If and when MPs can show that they are actually doing a job of work for us instead of voting on orders and asking planted questions, then perhaps we might look at a pay rise.
Any notion of a pay rise at the moment is out of the question, not least because the population at large is having to put up with pay freezes on, in 90% of cases, far smaller salaries.
MPs need to live in the real world of supermarkets, second class travel, second rate hotels, and reciepts for every single penny.

Popes Francis Speech- compiled from the net.
Pope Francis on Monday used an annual pre-Christmas meeting with the cardinals and bishops of the Vatican bureaucracy, normally an exchange of good wishes and blessings to issue a scathing critique of them, warning against 15 separate "diseases" in their work and attitudes.
Saying he wanted to prepare them all including himself to make "a real examination of conscience" before Christmas, Francis said while the Vatican bureaucracy was called to "always improve and grow in communion," it was also prone to "disease, malfunction, and infirmity" like every human institution."I believe it will help us [to make] a 'catalog' of diseases to help us prepare for the sacrament of reconciliation, which will be a good step for all of us to prepare for Christmas," Pope Francis said.Many of the 15 diseases given by Francis were frank and blunt: a feeling of indispensability like a "rich fool"; of having a "spiritual Alzheimer's" that makes a person dependent on the present; of living an "existential schizophrenia" of double lives that create "parallel worlds"; and a "terrorism of gossip" that sows discord and that amounts to "cold-blooded murder" of friends and colleagues.
Before listing the diseases, Francis likened the Vatican bureaucracy, known as the Roman Curia, to the Catholic idea of the Mystical Body of Christ the notion that all Catholics are connected together through Jesus Christ as one body."The Curia is called to improve, to always improve and grow in communion, holiness and wisdom to fully realize its mission," he said. "Yet it, like everybody, like every human body, is exposed to disease, malfunction, and infirmity.""Diseases are more frequent in our life of the Curia," he said. "They are diseases and temptations that weaken our service to the Lord."Francis' speech to the Vatican bureaucracy comes as the pope has been preparing a reform of its functioning over the past months, appointing a Council of nine cardinals to advise him on how best to change the Curia. While that reform has yet to be announced, it seems to be drawing closer to fruition, with reports of coming mergers or downsizing of Vatican offices and staff.
The pope's list of diseases may show just how in need of reform the Vatican is. As long as it is colorful and frank, the list paints a picture of an institution full of gossip, backstabbing and lack of contact with the reality lived by most Catholics around the world. His Excellence Francis started his list of diseases Monday by criticizing those who feel immortal, immune or indispensible in their work. He said such people are like "the rich fool," the person mentioned in Jesus' parable in Luke's Gospel who stores grain but does not glorify God. The feeling of indispensability, Francis said, "often stems from pathology of power, the 'complex of the elect.' "That disease, the pope said, "is the narcissism that looks passionately on its own image and does not see the image of God stamped on the face of others, especially the weakest and most in need.""The antidote to this epidemic is the grace to feel as sinners and say with all the heart: 'We are useless servants. We have done how much we had to do,' "he said. Identifying a disease of those who "possess a heart of stone," Francis said some "lose the inner serenity, vivacity and boldness and hide under papers becoming 'practical machines' and not 'men of God.' "
"It's dangerous to lose the human sensitivity necessary to make us weep with those who weep and rejoice with those who rejoice," he said. "It is the disease of those who lose 'the feelings of Jesus' because their hearts, with the passage of time, harden and become unable to unconditionally love the Father and the neighbor."Moving next to warn against a "spiritual Alzheimer's," Francis said some forget the "story of salvation" and lose their personal history with the Lord, the "first love."
"It is a progressive decline of the spiritual faculties that in a longer or shorter period of time ... making them unable to carry out any independent activity, living a state of absolute dependence on his often imaginary views," said the pope."We see it in those who have lost the memory of their encounter with the Lord," he said. "In those who are completely dependent on their 'present' ... in those who build walls around themselves and habits becoming, more and more, slaves of idols that they have carved their own hands."Identifying what he called an "existential schizophrenia," Francis then warned against those who "live a double life, the fruit of hypocrisy typical of the mediocre and the progressive spiritual vacuum that degrees or academic qualifications cannot fill.""They create like this their own parallel world, where they put aside everything that they teach strictly to others and begin to live a hidden life," he said. "The conversion is urgent and indispensable for this very grave disease."
Labeling a disease of "chatter, murmurings and gossip," Francis said such a disease "starts simply, maybe just for a chat and takes hold of the person making him a 'sower of discord' [like Satan], and in many cases 'cold-blooded murderer' of the fame of their colleagues and confreres."
"It is the disease of cowardly people that not having the courage to speak directly talk behind their backs," Francis said. "Brothers, let us look out for the terrorism of gossip!"
Speaking of those who "deify superiors," Francis warned against officials who "are courting superiors, hoping to get their benevolence.""They are victims of careerism and opportunism, they honor the people and not God," the pope said. "They are people who live the service thinking only what they need to get and not what they must give." "This disease may also affect the superiors when courting some of their employees to get their submission, loyalty and psychological dependence, but the end result is a real complicity," he continued.
Warning against a "funereal face," Francis said some think that in order to be serious, "they need to paint the face of melancholy, severity and treat others -- especially those deemed inferior with stiffness, hardness and arrogance." "In reality, the theatrical severity and sterile pessimism are often symptoms of fear and insecurity about himself," the pope said. "The apostle must strive to be a polite person, calm, enthusiastic and cheerful who conveys joy wherever he is. A heart full of God is a happy heart that radiates with joy and infects all who are around him. You can see it right away!"
"Don't lose that joyful spirit, full of humor, even self-deprecating, that makes us amiable people," said Francis, who said he says a prayer attributed to British St. Thomas More every day for this purpose. Identifying "closed circles" in the Vatican, Francis said some create groups "where membership in the little group becomes stronger than that of the body and, in some situations, to Christ himself.""Although this disease always begins with good intentions," said the pope, over time it "enslaves members becoming 'a cancer' that threatens the harmony of the body and causes so much harm -- scandals -- especially to our smallest brothers."
"The self-destruction or 'friendly fire' of fellow soldiers is the sneakiest danger," Francis said. "It is the evil that strikes from within, and as Christ says: 'Every kingdom divided against it is brought to desolation.' "The rest of Francis' list of diseases: Being "excessively busy" and not taking time for rest. Excessive planning of functionalizing or trying to "close or direct the freedom of the Holy Spirit" Bad coordination, like an orchestra that produces noise instead of music: "When the foot tells the hand, 'I don't need you,' or the hand tells the head 'I'm in charge' ";
· Rivalry and vainglory: "When one's appearance, the color of one's vestments or honorific titles become the primary objective of life". Indifference toward the needs of others: "When, out of jealousy or guile, you feel joy at seeing another fall rather than lifting them and encourage them". Accumulation: "When the apostle tries to fill an existential emptiness in his heart by accumulating material goods, not because he needs them but because he'll feel more secure";
Worldly profit and exhibitionism: "It's the sickness of those who insatiably try to multiply their powers and to do so are capable of calumny, defamation and discrediting others, even in newspapers and magazines, naturally to show themselves as being more capable than others
The Family Apostolate in the Mission
In the Old Testament Israelites were nomads. Their way of life especially their understanding of the family in a nomadic context can help us gain an insight as we organise our family apostolate, a key field of action in our ministry of evangelisation. The Church documents remind us the family is the Domestic Church. It is within the family that faith is nurtured and helped to grow. The First African Synod stressed the fact the future of the Church is in the Family. It is therefore imperative to put up a clear family apostolate in our missions if we wish to have proper foundations of faith and make durable impact in what we are doing. The Synod on the Word of God affirms that with the proclamation of the Word of God, the Church reveals to the Christian Families their true identity, what it is and what it must be in accordance with the Lord's plan. Hence, for Quality Life in our Families, the Word of God has to be a constant source of inspiration and guidance.
In the Old Testament, the most appropriate word to describe the family is BET AB, the father's house. This designation included the father, the wife and the children. However, the term did not limit the family to this small nuclear entity. BET AB included also all the dependent relatives, the slaves, the servants and their families too. The BET AB of Abraham for example included Sarah, Isaac, Hagar the slave girl and Ishmael her son, the brother Lot and his family, his slaves and servants and their families. The BET AB was therefore composed of several nuclear families. Actually, the father's house comprised of the whole tribe. The fact that slaves and servants, often captured during raids in the neighbouring tribes, were corporate members of this family meant that the BET AB was not limited within the tribal boundaries only.
It is important to underline that in Israel the socio-economic and theological realms were bound together and converged on a focal point of the family.
In the social field, a family was to assure that justice was done to another member of the family who had suffered an injustice. An elderly and economically able member of the family was supposed to take the family of a deceased brother. Once a poor member of the family was being forced to give up his land because of poverty, he could appeal to another member of the family to redeem the land of the BET AB. If another member of the family was forced into slavery because of debts, only a blood relative could buy him back.
Theologically, the family in Israel was of pivotal importance to Israel's relationship with God. It was in the family that faith in one God was handed down from one generation to another. It was in the family that the faithfulness to the covenant and to the TORAH, the Law of Moses, was to be observed. It was in the family that the Sacred History of Salvation, the Divine intervention into the lives of the people was narrated and kept alive. This explains why there is a strong concern for the family in the Law and the Prophets. The severe penalty for breaking the commandments on the honour to parents, on adultery and on coveting the neighbour's wife aimed at preserving the unity, integrity and harmony of the family.
The strong sense of hospitality presented in the Old Testament was guided by this broad understanding of the meaning of the family. But the real unifying factor among the Israelites was the common faith in one God. It was this common faith that brought together the twelve tribes of Israel into one single people, one single BET AB, one family. This collective spiritual experience of the people of Israel teaches that faith unites and brings people together; a common faith creates a strong sense of a large family of believers, a sense of a God fearing nation!

With its fallen-arched leather-soled feet,
The knees and elbows spotted with
Various growths of undiscernible nature.
The big belly, the Buddha belly,
Getting in the way, having to be
Maneuvered around whenever
Flight of motion is called for. And,
The sounds: the stomping, stumbling,
Groaning, moaning, sighing, slurping
Sounds. And that special tuneless,
Toneless whistling between half-closed lips.
Not that any of this really bothers me,
But, given the choice…
I choose to be a sea sprite.
A delicate, willowy, semi-transparent,
Possible to see out of the corner of
Your eyes, beautiful Ethereal Being.
Taking flight, oh so briefly, off the wisps
Of sea spray twirling on the tops of
Angry roaring waves. Then blissfully,
I plunge into the depths of tidal surges.
Down. Down. Soaring along the seamount
Of volcanic crust. Deep. Deep. Under
Kick'em Jenny, across the strait of water
Between Grenada and Carriacou;
Where the boats are now heading
Before the sun goes down, and the
Green Flash can blind them with its
Mystic wonder.
Instead, I'm free to fly above and below.
There is neither. There are both. Except now
When there is only the cold of a ship's grave,
The heat of escaping lava, the exhilaration
Of dancing along the breath of this seemingly
Endless expanse of sea landscape.
Ahead a storm looms… I turn and rush back,
Head on, into the turbulence. The chaos.
It's mine. It's me. It's what I'm meant to be.


text: The second biography of legendary ragtime composer Joplin to appear this year (the first was Susan Curtis's Dancing to a Black Man's Tune: A Life of Scott Joplin, p. 450), written from the perspective of a musicologist. Like Curtis, Berlin (Ragtime: A Musical and Cultural History, 1980) is frustrated by the scarcity of evidence -- either oral or documentary -- that remains about Joplin's life. His whereabouts for entire years are missing, and the reasons for several key decisions that he made regarding the publication and performance of his music are shrouded in mystery. Thus, while Berlin gives a more-or-less straightforward chronological account, he is often reduced to making educated guesses. Given these drawbacks, Berlin has done a dogged job of digging up what little documentary evidence exists; he even proves that Joplin had a second wife, who died shortly after their marriage. He analyzes Joplin's musical compositions at length, in language that graduate students of musicology will enjoy (""[Joplin] had discovered the propulsive power of...goal directed voice-leading""), if not the general reader. Berlin's insights into Joplin's compositional process are enlightening; he reveals that the composer worked on paper, enabling him to create unusually complex harmonic structures. Joplin was only a mediocre pianist himself, and so rarely performed; he even had to learn to play some of his harder pieces. Berlin also goes beyond analyzing the ragtime compositions (""Maple Leaf Rag,"" ""The Entertainer"") that are most closely associated with the composer, giving balanced and generally fair accounts of Joplin's popular songs, parlor piano pieces, and his ill-fated opera, Treemonisha. The book concludes with a brief history of the ragtime revival and a complete list of Joplin's works. Together, Curtis and Berlin give about as much information as we can hope for on this important American composer. For one-stop shoppers, Berlin edges out the competition, thanks to his more thorough knowledge of music.

Pattern: 198 yds of Heaven
Yarn: Knit Picks Totem (discontinued), two balls
Needles: US 9
Notes: I did one extra repeat of Chart 1 before moving onto Chart 2. I ended with 8 yards leftover, for a total of 320 yds used. I used my new favorite bind off: k1, *k1, transfer 2 sts back to holding needle, and k2tog through back loops* across. You can do this bind off with normal tension and it's quite elastic and tidy (but it is a yarn gobbler).
I ordered a few balls of this yarn ages ago (2007?). I think it was a test yarn for Knit Picks and they never picked it up. It's three two-plies plied of 50% wool and 50% modal. It did have a tendency to unply as I worked with it. I tried making a hat with it that didn't go so well, but this shawl was just right. It has nice heft, drape and sheen (from the modal).
This is a good little pattern. The edge doesn't roll, it works up quickly with worsted or heavy worsted yarn and by the time you start getting sick of doing all the purling across the back, you can move onto the edging which is all knit stitches across the wrong side.

Global Warming is one of those topics that can get you into hot water no matter what side of the debate you fall. I've always felt that the basic arguments behind global warming make sense logically and that to me has always been that the amount of industrialization we've seen in the last 100 years on our planet is something that has never happened in the world's history and it could have an impact on the planet's atmosphere.
That to me is the basic premise that global warming proposes, whether or not it will affect the planet in a warming way or a cooling way or whether or not it will have immediate effects are the deeper below the surface issues that are a bit open to debate and interpretation.
Today I watched the YouTube videos of John Coleman's views (4 parts in all) on global warming, and for the first time while watching I came to the realization that global warming has lost the Republican vs. Democratic battle that originally created most of the divide as to where people fell on the topic. For years the debate traditionally lined up the value difference for both parties, Democrats became Global Warming proponents while Republicans took the opposite side of the debate. Since that divide is now seemingly over (except with a few holdouts) and politicians on both sides of the political ticket believe that global warming is a real threat to the world, this has actually made me re-question what I think about global warming and it's affects on our planet.
Coleman makes some interesting points about global warming and what his thoughts are on the subject. He basically puts it in the realm of if people believe in a giant flying spaghetti monster due to a media blitz and some scientific jargon explaining that one exists, eventually the general consensus will be that a giant flying spaghetti monster is out there threatening us and we must do something to fight it.
Essentially Coleman doesn't believe in Global Warming because the scientific data to back it up is not agreed upon by all scientists who have done studies. He also believes that there is a large potential for people to want to believe it exists which causes them to draw the wrong conclusions when finishing studies or potentially massaging data to get the conclusions they purposely set out to achieve. Basically proving your conclusion regardless of what information you find out during the course of the investigation. Now that both sides politically are aligned to combat the threat, there is no longer questioning of the proposed evidence and people gladly drink from the water cooler to serve their own political agendas.
That's all fine and good he makes some good points, but while watching him explain the doubts he has and the causes as to the public's beliefs in the global warming threat, I couldn't help but ask myself "who cares?".
It may sound a little cynical, but I can't help but look at the larger picture which really is the world's energy use and the source of that energy being fossil fuels. Fossil fuels are a limited resource, period. People disagree on how much longer we can solely survive on them and how much remains, but it remains that at some point they will run out. As far as I am concerned that is an undisputed fact.
So to me, the question really becomes how to replace our reliance on fossil fuels for the sole purpose that at some point we need an alternative to generate the massive amounts of energy we rely on them to provide the world? And further more, how do we motivate that change to the alternate energy sources or at least accelerate their research and development? This kind of change is a massive undertaking, fossil fuels are cheap to use and easy for businesses to generate profit. They are widely used across the world in a variety of applications.
So at the end of the day, whether or not Global Warming actually will do anything to the planet that wouldn't already happen naturally is pretty irrelevant. It is the catalyst that will be the driving force that helps convert the world from fossil fuels to different energy sources. Coleman would say to that point that it's stupid to have to create a false reason like Global Warming to use in this manner, and I would agree with that observation, however, I also believe that people are naturally a little too complacent and resistant to change especially when talking about changes of such a grand scale. In order for their to be a driving force behind the change, everyone must feel a bit threatened. The threat that the world may end is a lot scarier than the threat of just running out of fossil fuels. While both are extremely catastrophic, it's much easier for the average Joe to picture the world being destroyed by severe climate shifts (thanks to movies) than gas pumps running dry.
The real question posed by the "Global Warming Threat" is actually a philosophical one. If the belief in the giant flying spaghetti monster proves to be false, but as a result of that belief we as people of the world are able to make advances in science that reduces or removes the world's reliance on fossil fuels, are we not better off? Or in other words do the ends justify the means?

The quest for better pictures
This outfit had been brewing for awhile. I read lookbook.nu pretty regularly for fashion inspiration, and had saved this look as something I wanted to copy using my favorite Asos curve dress.
So, here's my humble effort.
Outfit details:
Dress: Asos Curve (no longer on the site)
Cardigan: macy's plus size section super clearance silk! cardigan ($17)
Belt: Target 2xl
Necklace: Pretty Penny Mae on Etsy
Patterned brown tights: Avenue clearance ($3, but just like the last pair I posted about, they developed holes as soon as I put them on. Boo.)
Oxfords: Pikolinos size 42
The dress has pockets!
What do you think? Did I capture the spirit of the lookbook outfit?

I'll be quite frank, you didn't really capture the spirit but you made your own presence in this outfit. Looks good!

I love the look -- I've been thrift-hunting oxfords for some time now, and those are so perfect I'm drooling. XD You did a good translation of the colors/outfit, but I think the "mood" in the original has a lot to do with a bit of minor photo editing. I would hedge a decently safe bet that she warmed up the colors in her photo, at least.
On a side note about Avenue tights, I bought a few pairs on superultraclearance as well and have the same problem. Do you think it's a matter of quality, or would sizing up help? (I have a habit of being a total tights-destroyer, so I can never tell if it's me or the tights.)

Thanks Gazel! I think I dressed it up a little with the patterned tights and the oxfords. Also, I had an owl necklace that was seriously identical, but decided not to wear it since it was really heavy. And then I decided not to wear a scarf because I was too warm. So, inspired but not copied - I can lived with that!
Nly - thanks! I am really trying to get better pictures on here, I think I may have to invest in photo editing software and stop using the free picasa editing :). On the tights front, I bought two pairs on ultra clearance, and one pair on regular price... and they all split! So I'm not sure what's up! They replaced the full-price ones no questions asked, but the clearance ones I didn't take by because I figured they wouldn't/didn't have any more.

Fabulous! Also captured the spirit spot on!! Once I feel more human (sick as dog :() I'm gonna do my own version.

I love it! I really liked the owl necklace in the original but I looked at the Pretty Penny Mae shop on Etsy and I loooooooove the jewellery there, so cute! I have no clue with taking photos, even though I have a half decent camera so I think you're doing well. Your photos look great even if they are on a camera phone.

Thanks Monkey!
Debbie - thanks so much! I just read your post about knickers and Gok Wan and it made me laugh (and also made me check out simply be for underthings).

- Monkey said...
Rebecca - you said you have owl necklace like the girl in pic has? Where'd you get it? I've been hunting high & low for one exactly like that!
- October 19, 2010 at 2:40 PM REPLY
- Rebecca said...
Monkey - I actually got it at a clothing swap for free! I wonder if etsy/local thrift shops may be a good place to look?
- October 19, 2010 at 3:16 PM REPLY
- Debbie said...
Monkey - That necklace is cute. I was sure I'd seen one like it at Accessorize - http://www.accessorize.com/wise-owl-long-pendant-necklace/invt/78271681/?bklist=icat,4,shop,jewelleryshop,jewelleryshopnecklaces
Rebecca - thanks. I made myself laugh writing it lol!

- Monkey said...
Debbie - thank you for link! I was going to buy it but after a quick look on Etsy I found one for £3! Even with postage still cheaper than accessorize one.
Hmmm I think I am going to do a copy cat themed challenge...

I would totally be down for that challenge Monkey!
