On Being the Right Size

1 On Being the Right Size J. B. S. Haldane March 1926 The most obvious differences between different animals are differences of size, but for some reason the zoologists have paid singularly little attention to them. In a large textbook of zoology before me I find no indication that the eagle is larger than the sparrow, or the hippopotamus bigger than the hare, though some grudging admissions are made in the case of the mouse and the whale. But yet it is easy to show that a hare could not be as large as a hippopotamus or a whale as small as a herring. For every type of animal there is a most convenient size, and a large change in size inevitably carries with it a change of form. Let us take the most obvious of possible cases, and consider a giant man sixty feet high - about the height of Giant Pope and Giant Pagan in the illustrated Pilgrim s Progress of my childhood. These monsters were not only ten times as high as Christian, but ten times as wide and ten times as thick, so that their total weight was a thousand times his, or about eighty to ninety tons. Unfortunately the cross sections of their bones were only a hundred times those of Christian, so that every square inch of giant bone had to support ten times the weight borne by a square inch of human bone. As the human thigh-bone breaks under about ten times the human weight, Pope and Pagan would have broken their thighs every time they took a step. This was doubtless why they were sitting down in the picture I remember. But it lessens ones respect for Christian and Jack the Giant Killer. To turn to zoology, suppose that a gazelle, a graceful little creature with long thin legs, is to become large, it will break its bones unless it does one of two things. It may make its legs short and thick, like the rhinoceros, so that every pound of weight has still about the same area of bone to support it. Or it can compress its body and stretch out its legs obliquely to gain stability, like the giraffe. I mention these two beasts because they happen to belong 1
2 to the same order as the gazelle, and both are quite successful mechanically, being remarkably fast runners. Gravity, a mere nuisance to Christian, was a terror to Pope, Pagan, and Despair. To the mouse and any smaller animal it presents practically no dangers. You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom it gets a slight shock and walks away, provided that the ground is fairly soft. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes. For the resistance presented to movement by the air is proportional to the surface of the moving object. Divide an animal s length, breadth, and height each by ten; its weight is reduced to a thousandth, but its surface only a hundredth. So the resistance to falling in the case of the small animal is relatively ten times greater than the driving force. An insect, therefore, is not afraid of gravity; it can fall without danger, and can cling to the ceiling with remarkably little trouble. It can go in for elegant and fantastic forms of support like that of the daddy-longlegs. But there is a force which is as formidable to an insect as gravitation to a mammal. This is surface tension. A man coming out of a bath carries with him a film of water about one-fiftieth of an inch in thickness. This weighs roughly a pound. A wet mouse has to carry about its own weight of water. A wet fly has to lift many times its own weight and, as everyone knows, a fly once wetted by water or any other liquid is in a very serious position indeed. An insect going for a drink is in a great danger as man leaning out over a precipice in search of food. If it once falls into the grip of the surface tension of the water -that is to say, gets wet - it is likely to remain so until it downs. A few insects, such as water-beetles, contrive to be unwettable; the majority keep well away from their drink by means of a long proboscis. Of course tall land animals have other difficulties. They have to pump their blood to greater heights than a man, and, therefore, require a larger blood pressure and tougher blood-vessels. A great many men die from burst arteries, greater for an elephant or a giraffe. But animals of all kinds find difficulties in size for the following reason. A typical small animal, say a microscopic worm of rotifer, has a smooth skin through which all the oxygen it requires can soak in, a straight gut with sufficient surface to absorb its food, and a single kidney. Increase its dimensions tenfold in every direction, and its weight is increased a thousand times, so that if it to use its muscles as efficiently as its miniature counterpart, it will need a thousand times as much food and oxygen per day and will excrete a thousand times as much of waste products. 2
3 Now if its shape is unaltered its surface will be increased only a hundredfold, and ten times as much oxygen must enter per minute through each square millimeter of skin, ten time as much food through each square millimeter of intestine. When a limit is reached to their absorptive powers their surface has to be increased by some special device. For example, a part of the skin may be drawn out into tufts to make gills or pushed in to make lungs, thus increasing the oxygen-absorbing surface in proportion to the animal s bulk. A man, for example, has a hundred square yards of lung. Similarly, the gut, instead of being smooth and straight, becomes coiled and develops a velvety surface, and other organs increase in complication. The higher animals are not larger than the lower because they are more complicated. They are more complicated because they are larger. Just the same is true of plants. The simplest plants, such as the green algae growing in stagnant water or on the bark of trees, are mere round cells. The higher plants increase their surface by putting out leaves and roots. Comparative anatomy is largely the story of the struggle to example, while vertebrates carry the oxygen from the gills or lungs all over the body in the blood, insects take air directly to every part of their body by tiny blind tubes called tracheae which open to the surface at many different points. Now, although their breathing movements they can renew the air in the outer part of the tracheal system, the oxygen has to penetrate the finer branches by means of diffusion. Gases can diffuse easily through very small distances, not many times larger than the average length traveled by a gas molecule between collisions with other molecules. But when such vast journeys-from the point of view of a molecule-as a quarter of an inch have to be made, the process becomes slow. So the portions of an insect s body more than a quarter of an inch from the air would always be short of oxygen. In consequence hardly any insects are much more than half an inch thick. Land crabs are built on the same general plan as insects, but are much clumsier. Yet like ourselves they carry oxygen around in their blood, and are therefore able to grow far larger than any insects. If the insects had hit on a plan for driving air through their tissues instead of letting it soak in, they might well have become as large as lobsters, though other considerations would have prevented them from becoming as large as man. Exactly the same difficulties attach to flying. It is an elementary principle of aeronautics that the minimum speed needed to keep an aeroplane of a given shape in the air varies as the square root of its length. If its linear dimensions are increased four times, it must fly twice as fast. Now the power 3
4 needed for the minimum speed increases more rapidly than the weight of the machine. So the larger aeroplane, which weighs sixty-four times as much as the smaller, needs one hundred and twenty-eight times its horsepower to keep up. Applying the same principle to the birds, we find that the limit to their size is soon reached. An angel whose muscles developed no more power weight for weight than those of an eagle or a pigeon would require a breast projecting for about four feet to house the muscles engaged in working its wings, while to economize in weight, its legs would have to be reduced to mere stilts. Actually a large bird such as an eagle or kite does not keep in the air mainly by moving its wings. It is generally to be seen soaring, that is to say balanced on a rising column of air. And even soaring becomes more and more difficult with increasing size. Were this not the case eagles might be as large as tigers and as formidable to man as hostile aeroplanes. But it is time that we pass to some of the advantages of size. One of the most obvious is that it enables one to keep warm. All warm-blooded animals at rest lose the same amount of heat from a unit area of skin, for which purpose they need a food-supply proportional to their surface and not to their weight. Five thousand mice weigh as much as a man. Their combined surface and food or oxygen consumption are about seventeen times a man s. In fact a mouse eats about one quarter its own weight of food every day, which is mainly used in keeping it warm. For the same reason small animals cannot live in cold countries. In the arctic regions there are no reptiles or amphibians, and no small mammals. The smallest mammal in Spitzbergen is the fox. The small birds fly away in winter, while the insects die, though their eggs can survive six months or more of frost. The most successful mammals are bears, seals, and walruses. Similarly, the eye is a rather inefficient organ until it reaches a large size. The back of the human eye on which an image of the outside world is thrown, and which corresponds to the film of a camera, is composed of a mosaic of rods and cones whose diameter is little more than a length of an average light wave. Each eye has about a half a million, and for two objects to be distinguishable their images must fall on separate rods or cones. It is obvious that with fewer but larger rods and cones we should see less distinctly. If they were twice as broad two points would have to be twice as far apart before we could distinguish them at a given distance. But if their size were diminished and their number increased we should see no better. For it is impossible to form a definite image smaller than a wave-length of light. Hence a mouse s eye is not a small-scale model of a human eye. Its rods and cones are not 4
5 much smaller than ours, and therefore there are far fewer of them. A mouse could not distinguish one human face from another six feet away. In order that they should be of any use at all the eyes of small animals have to be much larger in proportion to their bodies than our own. Large animals on the other hand only require relatively small eyes, and those of the whale and elephant are little larger than our own. For rather more recondite reasons the same general principle holds true of the brain. If we compare the brainweights of a set of very similar animals such as the cat, cheetah, leopard, and tiger, we find that as we quadruple the body-weight the brain-weight is only doubled. The larger animal with proportionately larger bones can economize on brain, eyes, and certain other organs. Such are a very few of the considerations which show that for every type of animal there is an optimum size. Yet although Galileo demonstrated the contrary more than three hundred years ago, people still believe that if a flea were as large as a man it could jump a thousand feet into the air. As a matter of fact the height to which an animal can jump is more nearly independent of its size than proportional to it. A flea can jump about two feet, a man about five. To jump a given height, if we neglect the resistance of air, requires an expenditure of energy proportional to the jumper s weight. But if the jumping muscles form a constant fraction of the animal s body, the energy developed per ounce of muscle is independent of the size, provided it can be developed quickly enough in the small animal. As a matter of fact an insect s muscles, although they can contract more quickly than our own, appear to be less efficient; as otherwise a flea or grasshopper could rise six feet into the air. And just as there is a best size for every animal, so the same is true for every human institution. In the Greek type of democracy all the citizens could listen to a series of orators and vote directly on questions of legislation. Hence their philosophers held that a small city was the largest possible democratic state. The English invention of representative government made a democratic nation possible, and the possibility was first realized in the United States, and later elsewhere. With the development of broadcasting it has once more become possible for every citizen to listen to the political views of representative orators, and the future may perhaps see the return of the national state to the Greek form of democracy. Even the referendum has been made possible only by the institution of daily newspapers. To the biologist the problem of socialism appears largely as a problem of size. The extreme socialists desire to run every nation as a single business 5
6 concern. I do not suppose that Henry Ford would find much difficulty in running Andorra or Luxembourg on a socialistic basis. He has already more men on his pay-roll than their population. It is conceivable that a syndicate of Fords, if we could find them, would make Belgium Ltd or Denmark Inc. pay their way. But while nationalization of certain industries is an obvious possibility in the largest of states, I find it no easier to picture a completely socialized British Empire or United States than an elephant turning somersaults or a hippopotamus jumping a hedge. About the Author John Burdon Sanderson Haldane (November 5, December 1, 1964) was a geneticist born in Scotland and educated at Eton and Oxford University. He was one of the founders (along with Fisher and Wright) of population genetics. His famous book, The Causes of Evolution (1932), was the first major work of what came to be known as the modern evolutionary synthesis, reestablishing natural selection as the premier mechanism of evolution by explaining it in terms of the mathematical consequences of Mendelian genetics. He was also a great science popularizer, and was perhaps the Stephen Jay Gould or Richard Dawkins of his day. His essay, Daedalus or Science and the Future (1923), was remarkable in predicting many scientific advances but has been criticized for presenting a too idealistic view of scientific progress. Haldane was himself a very idealistic man, and in his youth was a devoted Communist and author of many articles in The Daily Worker. Events in the Soviet Union, such as the rise of the anti-mendelian agronomist Trofim Lysenko and the crimes of Stalin, caused him to break with the Communist Party later in life. He is also known for an observation from his essay, On Being the Right Size, which Jane Jacobs and others have since referred to as Haldane s principle. This is that sheer size very often defines what bodily equipment an animal must have: Insects, being so small, do not have oxygen-carrying bloodstreams. What little oxygen their cells require can be absorbed by simple diffusion of air through their bodies. But being larger means an animal must take on complicated oxygen pumping and distributing systems to reach all the cells. The conceptual metaphor to animal body complexity has been 6
7 of use in energy economics and secession ideas. Haldane was friends with the author Aldous Huxley, and was the basis for the biologist Shearwater in Huxley s novel Antic Hay. Ideas from Haldane s Daedalus, such as ectogenesis (the development of fetuses in artificial wombs), also influenced Huxley s Brave New World. He had many students, the most famous of whom, John Maynard Smith, was perhaps also the one most like himself. In one of the last speeches of his life, Biological Possibilities for the Human Species of the Next Ten Thousand Years (1963), Haldane coined the word clone, from the Greek word for twig. Haldane was a very quotable man. Some of the things he said are probably more famous than he is: The Creator, if He exists, has a special preference for beetles. This is referring to the fact that 25% of all known animal species are types of beetle. Four stages of acceptance: 1. This is worthless nonsense. 2. This is an interesting, but perverse, point of view. 3. this is true, but quite unimportant. 4. I always said so. This is referring to the stages that a scientific theory goes through. Now my own suspicion is that the Universe is not only queerer than we suppose, but queerer than we CAN suppose. Often referred to as Haldane s Law (not to be confused with Haldane s rule), this is an explanation for the increasing counterintuitiveness of modern scientific theories. Would I lay down my life to save my brother? No, but I would to save two brothers or eight cousins. This is a joke based on the idea of inclusive fitness. Basically, the joke is as you only share 50% of your genes with a brother, and 12.5% with a cousin, you would have to save enough relatives to at least break even. 7
8 It is worth mentioning, to those who are keen on books for their own sake, that his most sought-after and valuable publication, as far as collectors are concerned, is the short story My Friend Mr Leakey - which indeed is where the queerer than we suppose quotation can be found in print (though it is likely that JBSH thought this one up beforehand and incorporated it in the story for our amusement).

Respected clairvoyant Steve Holbrook will be passing on messages 'from beyond the grave' when he hosts an event in Rugby.
The ex-hairdresser said his ability started from behind the salon chair and he now appears at theatres and hotels all over the world.
Steve will be at Rugby Hotel on Tuesday, November 24, at 7.30pm.
He says he always felt from a young age that life existed beyond the grave, saying he once awoke to find five soldiers marching through his bedroom, but could only see the top half of them floating through the room.
Steve said: "This was very unnerving experience, but it was to give me an early glimpse of what was to come, and now it's as natural as breathing to me."
He started work in Leeds city centre in a busy hairdressing salon, and believes the years he spent behind the chair, having personal contact with the customers, stimulated an ability to hear the voices of spirits.
He said customers would come in and book their haircut, but often got more than they bargained for when he passed on a message from their loved one.
Steve was often the busiest stylist, and had a six-week waiting list for customers.
He said: "I often wonder if they kept coming back for my ability as a hair stylist, or the possibility that they might receive a message from a relative who had passed away!"
He now gives messages of re-assurance to people who have lost their loved ones, and he says by communicating with them, he helps them understand that life continues, "but in a different dimension".
He said one lady's mother came through to her in one of his messages, and said to the daughter: "Don't forget the brown Prada handbag on Friday".
The lady replied: "I'm putting it in my mum's coffin on Friday, she only died five days ago".
One of Steve's best friends is Jane MacDonald, singer and co-presenter on ITV's Loose Women. He met Jane in a spiritualist Church many years ago, and said he predicted she would be on television as part of a cruise entertainment documentary.
Tickets for the Rugby event are £17 on 01536 506123.

The National Quality Institute -INACAL, the governing body that promotes and ensures the quality of goods and services, and contributes to the development and competitiveness of economic activities and consumer protection, commissioned us the development of a relevant and unique identity that could position it as the leading quality institution in Peru.
Taking the essence of the institution as its starting point, and inspired by a fingerprint, we created and developed a brand that represents our Peruvian identity, a unique, diverse and authentic identity, which seeks to preserve and position itself as our mark of quality for the world.
Through a system where the isotype plays a major role, we proposed a number of resources and graphic elements based on their lines and shapes, which help INACAL to build a unique and different identity.

A perspective on roles of Indian Women
This contest was announced in Indus ladies and found its way to my gmail account.
"A Women plays a variety of roles in her life - daughter, sister, wife, daughter-in-law, mother, grand mother, employee and so on. Your blog post can address any particular angle with regards to those roles. Which role is the most important? Which role is she over-indexed on? Which roles limits her the most?......"
The minute I finished reading this, the first thing that popped in my head was the saying,
"A woman is like the water that takes the shape of the vessel it rests in". I kept thinking of all the different roles women play and what can be considered the most important one…then it occurred to me the most important role is not even mentioned in the contest. The role, of being a woman. Yes, just a woman. Water in a jug, a pot, a kettle or even a glass is still first and foremost water which essentially quenches our thirst. Often the Indian woman gets so involved in playing all these roles to the best of her abilities that she forgets what it is to be a woman.
As a woman, I believe our first responsibility is to understand and stand for our kind. Let me elaborate. How many times have we heard about the cruel mother in law, the mean sister in law, the woman yearning for a son, the mother who favors her son more than her daughter, the women friends who scorn a divorcee, the female boss who gives no quarter to her female subordinates and so on? The list is alas never ending. There are so many instances when a woman turns the worst enemy of another woman. She does so by succumbing to the system of "patriarchy" and the general rules that our society lives by.
This system makes mothers bring up their daughters and sons to believe
1. The daughter is always "paraya dhan" and her entire childhood is about how she can find a good husband and then cater to his and her "real" family's needs.
2. Sons are important to take the family name forward and hence her foremost duty is to provide a male heir.
3. A woman must always put her husband's and his parent's needs before her own.
4. It is her duty to ensure the happiness of not just immediate "real" family but also extended "real" family like sister-in-law and her in-laws. The good name of the family rests on her fragile and already tired shoulders. Any behavior that is not acceptable will bring shame upon the family.
5. The Sons are brought up by emotional blackmail and constant brainwashing from birth, that his parents should always come before his wife and he should never forget his duty towards them. If he gives his wife first priority, then he will be known as hen pecked and that the wife will not be able to resist taking advantage of the situation. She will surely take him away from his parents
6. As a son/man his duty is to make sure his wife gives him first priority and also make sure that she stays in her place.
7. When the family bemoans the birth of a girl child, she cannot and should not express any joy she may feel.
8. A woman should always make sure she dresses up decently; otherwise naturally eve teasing will follow.
9. If a daughter, sister or wife is a victim of unwanted male attention or even rape, then surely the victim would have encouraged the man in question somehow. Yes, even asking the man to "mind his own business" is taken as encouragement. The woman/girl should always make sure that she blends into the surroundings and should never provoke or draw attention to herself in anyway. When harassed or eve teased she should quietly walk away from the scene as quickly as possible.
10. …
11. …
I could go on. It is sad but true, predominantly in India, women forget to celebrate themselves and often end up putting the society and its privileged members; their sons, husbands, brothers and everyone else before themselves. We get so involved in doing what is expected and right, in the eyes of the society that we more often than not, forget to actually do the right thing.
Now imagine if every woman in every family asserts her role of a woman and as an individual, who in spite of pressure from all sides can stand up for the most basic form of fairness. A woman, who will remember the pain she has faced, hence dares to show empathy and understanding for girls/women her life, they by breaking the rules of the society. Only when this happens, will our sons become fair and our daughters become aware of their self-worth. Empowerment of the female kind is not about taking out marches and shouting slogans. Its starts at home, in small day to day things like who will do the dishes today? In a family where the husband and sons do the dishes in turns with wife and daughter, a silver lining of hope has already been drawn.
The following incident took place three years back during my marriage. My cousin brother of age 10 was keenly observing and noticing the various rituals and general proceedings of a South Indian Tamil Brahmin wedding. At once instance he looked really worried and asked his mom where I would live after marriage. My aunt gave the usual reply that I would live with my husband who was then working abroad. My cousin then asked her, if he could live with his parents in the same house they lived in at that time, after his wedding. Of course my well educated, forward looking aunt reassured him that he could live at home. This small incident has remained with me and continues to irk me. I wonder if she would have answered in the same way had her daughter asked her that question. I for one would have said, "You and your wife should build your own home, but of course you will both be welcome to our place also".
How would you answer this question? Shouldn't the answer remain the same for a daughter and a son? What do you think? Remember, your thought has the power to redefine the fabric of our society and roles we play. That is the power we hold as being women. Realize it.

Comparing internet probing methodologies through an analysis of large dynamic graphs

The Internet is an evolving, robust system with built in redundancy to ensure the flow of information regardless of any act of nature or man-made event. This makes mapping the Internet a daunting task, but important because understanding its structure helps identifying vulnerabilities and possibly optimizing traffic through the network. We explore CAIDA's and NPS's probing methodologies to verify the assentation that NPS's probing methodology discovers comparable Internet topologies in less time. We compare these by modeling union of traceroute outputs as graphs, and using standard graph theoretical measurements as well as a recently introduced measurement. Ultimately, the researchers verified the NPS's probing methodology was comparable to the CAIDA's probing methodology. We also propose additional avenues for further exploration from our initial discoveries. We also introduced a technique that can possibility identify stable core existence among the whole Internet and explore case studies of two country sub-graphs.

Sprint training is becoming a popular way to train for elite as well as recreational exercisers because it works. One of the greatest things about sprint training is how it allows you to burn fat at a much higher rate after you are finished training. It is complete workout for your lower body and abs. if you have been participating in long and slow cardio exercises such as swimming, cycling, jogging or walking, you will realize that you are losing weight way too slowly. Hence you will start to put in more time into your cardio workout but you will not find much improvement in your progress, this is because too much cardio tends to increase body fat. In this article below Vince DelMonte explains the benefits of sprint training over cardio when it comes to fat burning.
By: Vince DelMonte
Author – No Nonsense Muscle Building & Your Six Pack Quest
If you are looking to improve your fitness, sprint training is one of the best ways to do this.
Many people prefer sprint training because it takes much less time than traditional forms of cardiovascular exercise that have you going for thirty minutes to an hour and when you do this more intense form of sprint training workout you will see yourself benefiting a great deal.
One of the biggest advantages of sprint training is the EPOC effect it creates where the body will expend a great deal of calories returning the body back to its former state after the workout.
Because sprint training is so powerful, it promotes high calorie burn when you have finished your workout. You can also increase the EPOC doing some hill sprint training. Since this is even more intense in nature, it will further challenge your body.
So when you perform a series of sprint training exercises, the body will upregulate its ability to produce enzymes that are going to work at increasing the storage capacity of the muscle for energy substrates such as ATP.
This then has the corresponding effect of allowing you to work harder for a longer period of time without fatigue setting in. Note that this happens when you work more on the aerobic side of things, so even though it is intense you are still using oxygen.
Without oxygen you will not be able to last more 50 to 20 seconds, regardless of how well conditioned you are (the better condition you are though, the harder you will be able to work during that time).
The next benefit you'll get with sprint training is its effect on phosphate metabolism. Phosphate creatine stores comprise a major component of the body's fuel source for muscular activity, so anything you can do to increase this is going to be beneficial.
Myokinase is an enzyme that is responsible for resynthesizing the energy from phosphate creatine, and with sprint training, it will increase its concentration within the muscle tissue by up to 20%.
The next adaptation that will occur after you've been doing sprint training for a period of time is that of glycolysis. This is the primary form of metabolism used during a 10 second all out sprint and contributes between 55 and 75% towards energy production during exercise.
Phosphofructokinase (PFK), an enzyme that catalyses the phosphorylation of the glycolytic intermediate fructose 6-phosphate), has also been shown to increase when sprint training is performed, along with the enzymes of lactate dehydrogenase and glycogen phosphorylase (other enzymes responsible for the glycolysis system).
Finally, last modification and training that you see with sprint training is the buffering capacity of muscle. During glycoglysis, several by-products are created, such as lactic acid, and when these accumulate, it will cause extreme feelings of fatigue and muscle tissue.
This causes you to stop the exercise as fatigue sets in and often will be the end of your training.
Overtime, sprint training will increase your ability to buffer these byproducts so that you can then workout for a longer period of time while maintaining that intensity.
So the next time you wonder whether to do a sprint workout or moderate cardiovascular exercises that lasts 40 minutes or more, choose the sprint session.
The benefits you will receive are far more numerous and fat loss will be kicked up a notch as an added bonus. Remember that for this type of benefit to occur, you want your sprints to last somewhere between 20 seconds to 40 seconds, with a work to rest ratio of about 1:2. Repeat this process a total of 6 to 8 times and begin and end with a with a five minute warm-up and cool-down.

Bank of America (BAC) claims it will provide all $8.5 billion in robo-signing settlement relief within one year of signing it.
"The agreement term is 36 months, yet within the first year, we believe we will reach or exceed all program targets under the agreement," a bank spokesman said.
BofA committed to providing $7.6 billion in relief through modifications, short sales, forbearance and other options. The bank must refinance another $948 million in mortgages for eligible borrowers.
The first report from the complete $25 billion settlement with the 49 state attorneys general showed BofA did a majority of the short sales completed under the settlement so far, but it had completed no principal write-downs as of June 30.
But the bank completed 3,823 modifications that included some principal reduction in the last two months for a total of $596 million in write-downs, according to data last updated August 21 the bank made available to HousingWire.
Another 15,878 principal reduction workouts are in the trial stage.
BofA so far prefers short sales, which requires the bank to waive the difference between what the home sells for and the unpaid principal balance on the loan.
If the servicers don't meet all the relief targets within 36 months, there will be additional penalties from the Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. These regulators tied $1 billion in fines from consent orders signed with the same servicers in April 2011 to any relief not provided under the wider settlement within three years.
There's added incentive to complete the relief within the first year. For every dollar of principal reduced, an extra 25 cents of credit is granted toward the promised amount.
So, the $596 million in reductions so far could be equal to, at most, $745 million in credit.
But this is assuming all reductions are done on BofA portfolio mortgages, which remains in the dark. Write downs on loans bundled into private securities would get 70 cents (45 cents plus the 25 cent bonus in the first year) credited toward the promised relief.

Extras are additional items you can offer to your guest to make their adventure that much more exciting and easy! You can offer all kinds of Extras, from guest conveniences (like unlimited mileage or post-trip cleaning) to outdoors equipment (like everything your guest might need to go camping or on a ski trip). You are not required to add Extras to your listing, but we think it's a great way to earn a little more and provide an amazing experience to your guests.
Turo has created a database of Extras that hosts can add to their listing. You can find it by searching Extra types on the Extras tab of your car's listing page. There are a lot of Extras in our database already, but we're happy to take suggestions for later if the Extra you want is not available. You'll be prompted to suggest an Extra if the one you've searched for is not already in the database.
The price for each Extra is up to you! Hosts can choose to charge a single flat rate for an entire trip or price their Extras per day. The available price range for Extras is between $1 and $999. We recommend doing some research to determine what your Extra's market value is before you set a price.
For Extras that represent a convenience service (such as prepaid refueling), detailed descriptions are strongly recommended, and hosts are responsible for providing the full service as described in their listing. In general, we also recommend that some types of Extras are better priced per-day (such as unlimited mileage) while others are better priced per-trip (such as post-trip cleaning), to be more appealing to your guest.
Extras are not covered by any Turo protection plans, which means you'll keep 90% of what you make from any Extras purchased by your guests. It also means Turo typically can't provide assistance with lost or damaged Extras. Hosts should set clear expectations with guests about how to use and take care of any purchased Extras during a trip.

Today is my Dad's birthday, so we bought him a nice gift - 2 tickets to Smokie & Simphony Orchestra concert. I think the gift will be given to him later this day, because we will be celebrating it and that would be nice if everyone saw it. I remember that Dad and Mom once went to a Smokie concert and they really enjoyed it. It happened that we were able to buy him tickets this year again! Yay! :)
Here's how I wrapped the present using only 1 sheet of A4 scrapbook paper, some ribbon, tape and 2 chocolates. :)
Actually, this idea belongs to my sister, but I did the wrapping. :)
I think that Dad will be quite surprised at first, seeing chocolates as a gift and then he will notice the real gift. Just now I got called by our phone company Bite and they sang Happy B-day song and everything to me. They call to every number that is under our Dad's name.
Have a nice day! :)

1st Grade Artistic geniuses
FOR the past 4 years I've had the honor of being invited by Susan Faust, Katherine Delmar Burke School Librarian and book reviewer extraordinaire, to present an assembly to the 1st graders.
This year I was excited to receive my audience of 6 and 7 year olds in the gleaming new library. There is a sweet presentation area with half round seating, cute stools, a pull down screen and great acoustics.
The girls and I had our usual great time, looking at slides and making up an awesome story, starring many of them as "humanals".
I believe that 1st graders everywhere are natural artistic geniuses. They are uninhibited, love color and movement and draw freely from their imaginations.
The artists at KDBS are no exception. Here are some of my favorite images from their thank you notes.
