The Diana World Tour is a travelling exhibition of all things Diana – including photo safaris, workshops, the immense "Detrich Collection", delicious meals, and fairly out-of-control parties.
Last week, the Diana World Tour dropped by in Tokyo and overwhelmed the Japanese Lomographers with a bunch of extraordinary events.
The Diana World Tour exhibition at the Lomography Gallery Store Tokyo will last until 26th of December and feature the very finest of Diana Vignette images & stories alongside a primo selection of our classic "Detrich Collection" original Diana & Diana clone cameras.
The opening party took place at the Lomography Gallery Store Tokyo. About 350 party guests enjoyed shopping, drinking, dancing and letting their fantasy flow while sketching their very own Diana clone. Aside from the obvious starlet of the show that evening, Diana, we crowned another bright spark: the "Diana Vignettes Challenge" winner Takezzo.
The night after, an indefatigable bunch of Lomographers joined an unforgettable night tour, which started at Tokyo bay.
Discovering the bay area by a traditionally named Japanese boat, the Yakatabune, and enjoying delicious Monjya Yaki (traditional Japanese food), the participants were introduced to tips, tricks and techniques for night-shooting with the Diana+.
The Diana day tour started the next day. The mission was to discover three exciting hot spots in Tokyo (Shimokitazawa, Saigoyama Park,and the Diet Building) through various Diana+ lenses.

At a recent rodeo, my husband and I listened to a watching cowboy talk and chat with those around him. We stood there for over an hour as he told some stories that might have had a little whiskey embellishment weaved into them. Showed off a few military type tattoos and yeahawwed with the best of the cowboys at the rodeo. Even cheered on a few bulls, as he stated, "no one ever cheers for the Bull. They got rights." But the tone of his voice changed as he mentioned his time in the military and in the Vietnam War and his return home. He talked to my son about "Doing what's right" "standing up for those around you" "believing in the rights of those back home as you stand in the middle of the sounds of war". My son soaked it all up. The aging Cowboy mentioned that on his return he could feel the disdain around him from others who knew he was a war vet. That there was no cheering but more jeering then anything else. That he still carries with him the loss of so many he knew on a daily basis. But he quietly said, at the end of his stories with a reminiscent tone,... "I would do it all over again." And he stood back and we all breathed in the air around us. Our own moment of silence for those who have come before us.
Live every day with passion and freedom. Remember those who went before you. Work hard to keep your liberties in the pursuit of happiness. Support those who protect your rights. Enjoy every moment, every day, and every smile.
Hang your flag outside your home today and every day you enjoy the right of being an American. It is a symbol, but in my world it is one worth being proud of. My husband and I try to teach that to our son as often as we can in many ways. Love my Life.
Disclaimer: I am not related to Anita Palmer or have any interests in her business as an artist. However, I saw this image on a facebook page called the Rancher's Headquarters. And it is beautiful. it has inspired me to check out more of her artwork and see if I can find one to hang on my wall of our home. Just beautiful. I hope it inspires you also to support an American artist.

WIP: Imperial Culexus Assassin #1
After 7 weeks of painting a single Imperial Knight I'm looking forward to paint something small and simple. I really love this Culexus Assassin, I think he's the best sculpt of the four models released with the Assassins boxed game. The pose is menacing and powerful, and something different than the yelling and one foot on a rock poses you usually have.
I already made good progress on this guy. As you can see, I haven't touched the head yet. Not sure whether I should go for the classic bone-white or do something different. Maybe keep it all black like the body suit? Or paint it red? What do you think?

Haiti set to inaugurate new president
President-elect Jovenel Moise will be inaugurated Tuesday after having survived Haiti's year-and-a-half electoral crisis, assuming power as political tensions continue to simmer.
The 48-year-old Haitian banana exporter who has never held political office was the hand-picked candidate of former president Michel Martelly to represent the center-right Tet Kale Party (PHTK).
More than 2,000 people have been invited to watch Moise become the 58th head of state of the first black republic, in an event that will include an oath of office at the parliament and a religious ceremony.
His election brought an end to the impoverished Caribbean nation's long-running political nightmare, which began in October 2015 when Moise won a first round of voting but the results were annulled because of massive fraud.
In February 2016, with Martelly's five-year term nearing its end and his political succession in limbo, Haiti's parliament elected Jocelerme Privert, president of the Senate at the time, to be interim president.
The elections were rescheduled for October and then postponed to November after Hurricane Matthew battered the country.
So it is finally on Tuesday that Privert will hand over the presidential sash to the National Assembly speaker, who will then give it to Moise.
– Simmering tensions –
Late Monday, workers were busy finishing the stands for the guests: the main platform was designed to resemble the presidential palace that once stood there, in the heart of Port au Prince, before the devastating 2010 earthquake destroyed the century-old building.
Austerity has been the motto of the ceremony, as Haiti is suffering from an economic crisis with more than $2 billion in debt and anemic growth that is not expected to surpass one percent this year.
According to Moise's transition team, the inaugural costs are close to $1 million, a tighter budget than those of predecessors Rene Preval and Martelly, which cost more than $4 million and $2 million, respectively.
The Dominican, Venezuelan, Guyanese and Trinidadian presidents are slated to appear at the ceremonies alongside foreign delegations. No former Haitian head of state has officially confirmed attendance.
The incoming president has also said he had invited the 53 other former presidential candidates to signal his willingness to ease political tensions.
But the country's political temperature remains high with several of his main opponents contesting his first-round victory.
The businessman is also at the center of an unresolved money laundering probe. He denies any wrongdoing.
The investigation was launched in 2013 as a routine bank-regulation procedure. The Central Financial Intelligence Unit (UCREF) forwarded a secret report about the inquiry to prosecutors last summer.
However, the investigating judge took no action until four opposition senators recently demanded information about the findings.
The investigating judge delivered conclusions to the government prosecutor who did do made any public announce yet on the case.
The suspense undermines Moise's already fragile popularity.
He was declared the winner with 55 percent of the votes, but with a dismal turnout of just 21 percent.
Civic malaise believed to be linked to a lack of political campaigning and distrust in elected officials' ability to improve conditions in the poorest country in the Americas.

31 January 2005 A surrogate mother has died shortly after giving birth, The Daily Mail reports.
Natasha Caltabiano, 29, who was involved with the agency Surrogacy UK, developed high blood pressure and a ruptured aorta after the delivery, dying 90 minutes later.
Her mother Marilyn said: "Surrogacy caused Natasha's death. People must realise that childbirth isn't something you enter into lightly. It's still dangerous but that is something surrogate agencies don't go into."
[Daily Mail, 29 January ] The parents of Charlotte Wyatt have lost a High Court bid to lift an order permitting doctors not to resuscitate her if she stops breathing. 15-month-old Charlotte is seriously disabled, oxygen-dependent and has never left St Mary's Hospital in Portsmouth, but her parents argued that she is showing signs of improvement, such as responding to stimulation.
Mr Justice Hedley ruled that there should be a hearing before Easter to review the case but refused to lift the Do Not Resuscitate order.
[The Telegraph, 29 January ] A member of the Scottish Parliament has said that Catholic schools should have their state funding withdrawn if they refuse to adopt the new sexual health strategy.
Mike Rumbles, a Liberal Democrat, said that he was prepared to table amendments that would force the Catholic Church to comply with the strategy, stating: "The Catholic Church cannot resist it. That would be against the rules of the state system.Either you are in the state system or you are not. If you are in the state system you obey the rules."
[The Times of London, 30 January ] A Swiss nurse has been convicted of killing 22 elderly patients by lethal injection or suffocation and sentenced to life imprisonment.
Roger Andermatt, 36, claimed that his motive was compassion but, according to a statement by Lucerne officials, he also cited a desire to ease the work overload. Many of his victims suffered from Alzheimer's disease and were aged between 66 and 95.
[BBC, 28 January ] A Danish sperm bank is recruiting extra donors in response to a rush of orders from UK IVF clinics wishing to stock up before donor anonymity comes to an end in April.
Cryos supply sperm to 40 countries where tall, blond, blue-eyed donors are sought, and already supply Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
[The Sunday Times, 30 January ] A film based on the life of a Spanish diver who campaigned for the right to be killed after being paralysed during a diving accident, has won 14 awards at a film awards ceremony held at Spain's Academy of Cinematic Arts and Sciences.
Ramon Sampedro, the subject of the film The Sea Inside, was eventually helped to commit suicide by a friend who placed a glass of cyanide by his bedside and filmed his agonising death.
[Yahoo News, 31 January ] Scientists at the University of Wisconsin-Madison have reported success in coaxing human embryonic stem cells to become motor neurons.
Embryonic stem cells are proving much harder to use than many scientists predicted, a major obstacle being the short window of time during human development when the cells have the potential to transform.
Dr Su-Chun Zhang who led the study warned that it will be many years before the results can be tested on humans.
[Medical News Today, 31 January ] The owner of a New Jersey abortion facility, whose receptionist was recently arrested for performing illegal abortions, is being charged with flushing the remains of aborted babies down a toilet into the sewerage system.
If found guilty Dr Flavius Moses Thompson could go to prison for up to five years. [LifeSiteNews.com, 28 January ]

Nothing on the Rocks:
Heavy thoughts from Tibet's Tsangpo Gorge.
This story first ran in the August 2014 issue of Canoe & Kayak magazine.
We didn't come to Tibet for enlightenment. We came to run the river that had carved what many call the deepest canyon in the world. We came to add our names to the roster of famous Himalayan explorers. We came to make our mark.
The mark was left on us.
As soon as we drove into Tibet from Nepal, we knew that we were in for trouble. The river was only slowly receding from a 50-year high. Bridges were gone, roads washed out. Should we delay our attempt until next year? But it's unlikely we would get another National Geographic grant. Should we wait until the river recedes? But it's October, the snows might soon close the high passes.
And so we put on, the four of us, and started down the river, while our two support teams struggled to reach their assigned resupply points along the way.
On Day Four, in a careless moment, I slid into the water with my sprayskirt unattached. A frightening swim ensued, and I lost my boat—only to have it recovered the next day, a dozen miles downstream by two religious pilgrims, the sanctity of whose quest did not preclude a bit of sharp bargaining for the price of its return.
Reunited on the water, resupplied with 15 days of food, we embarked on the crux of the expedition, away from all paths, into the deepest section of canyon, between two 20,000-foot peaks.
In this gigantic landscape the eye kept being fooled, seeing everything as much smaller than it was—and then wave and whirlpool ballooned in size as you approached and experienced the real scale of things. Thoroughly intimidated, we paddled down the sides of the rapids, avoiding the main flow. Often we took out and walked.
Our 100-pound boats were slippery, awkward burdens, best carried hanging off one shoulder. And where the river banks were not cliffs or slabs of rock, they were piles of boulders that seemed freshly deposited by the summer's flood—raw and unstable as a freshly dug construction pit. Man-sized rocks shifted and tumbled at the lightest touch. Piles of smaller stones collapsed and slid underfoot. We had trained for the river, and we had hiked, we had rock climbed—but nothing had prepared us for this. Even the slightest mistake, even a sprained ankle would be a major setback, here a week's or more pathless hike from the nearest village. And our food was limited. We had to keep moving.
As I scrambled, climbed atop house-sized boulders and pulled my boat after me, lowered it down again, teetered across rock slabs, forded side-streams, crouched to slide through waist-high game trails, fell, got up again, struggled on, a phrase began repeating itself, quite on its own: "Do nothing." I would pause, catching my breath, becoming aware for a moment of the overloud booming and roaring of the rapid below me, daunted by the terrain ahead, when an inner voice would say, "do nothing." Do Nothing—and a solution to the huge puzzle that lay ahead would present itself. Do Nothing—and I would lift the boat again. Do Nothing—and I would go on.
Why would "do nothing" provide inspiration? Why did it act as a call to arms? I cannot say.
I had to keep moving. I had to keep up. My brother had wondered aloud if I had trained enough for the Tsangpo challenge. Our friend, kayak racer Roger Zbel, had shown that he as a tireless high-altitude hiker. And then there was the omni-competent Doug Gordon— Ph.D. candidate, National Science Foundation Scholarship winner—and also agile as a goat. I had to keep up with the others … and this was why, I think, a second contrarian phrase added itself to the first: "Be no one."
Don't prove yourself. Don't try to be anything. Have no identity. Be No One.
It was too much strain, being anyone. It was too hard, to prove myself. It was too dangerous, to try. And it didn't matter. There was no one there to prove anything to. There was no one at all; there was only action. Do Nothing. Be No One.
With distant curiosity, I noticed that I was, in fact, keeping up.
It was an all-day effort. We put onto the water, we paddled the easier sections, and the while careful to not go too far, to not venture into the engulfing mouth of the monster rapids. We took out on the rocky banks on which the surf created by the river's pulses broke as on a North Atlantic shore. We shouted to each other to be heard over the sound of the water. We threaded our way along the boulder-choked bank. Sometimes, surfeited with the complexity of my immediate surroundings, I would fail to look far enough ahead, and would be forced to backtrack from a mistaken course. Or, in an instant of inattention, I would place a foot carelessly, and fall. And so it was, I think—I cannot be sure, for it came of itself —a third phrase surfaced in my mind: "See clearly."
Do Nothing. Be No One. See Clearly.
That was how I made my way into the Tsangpo Gorge, with this mantra repeating itself in my head. Do Nothing. Be No One. See Clearly.
And then a day came, a day like another. We paddled down along the left bank. We scouted a steep rapid. Doug decided to try it. An unexpectedly tenacious hole. Doug flipped. Inexplicably he failed to right himself. He was swept out into the main current. He was so tiny out there, so very small…and then he was gone, swallowed by the ponderous, mighty, tumbling water. Gone, never to return.
In our disbelief, we searched. I with my boat, carrying it, then paddling on alone; Tom and Roger on shore. In that enormous, noise-filled canyon we searched. Out of the constant river-sound the mind constructed voices and scraps of song. The mountains win again, sang the river, in the voice of John Popper.
Sometime that day, searching, we crossed the theoretical deepest point in the canyon, the line between the peaks of Namche Barwa and Gyala Pelri.
At day's end I left my boat and made my way upstream to look for the others. Night fell as I picked my way up the shoreline. The sound of the river went on and on. Nothing I could do would stop it.
I was beyond tired. Had I missed Tom and Roger? Could I find them in the dark? Did it matter?
Do Nothing. It came to me, once more. There was nothing I had to do. I was completely free to stop where I was, to lie down on the rock on which I stood. And once more, from this I drew energy.
Be No One. And saying this, I felt the living self that was beyond all characteristics. I was a wraith floating effortlessly from shadow to shadow. I was motion.
See Clearly. There came a flickering yellow light, high on a bluff above the river. I shouted, but they did not hear. I turned, climbed.
Around their fire we wept.
Do nothing. Be no one. See clearly.
I cannot defend these phrases, nor recommend them to you, nor fit them into an explanation of the universe. They came to me, they meant something to me, they helped me. They help me still. I offer them to you for what they are worth: what I salvaged from an expedition on a river in Tibet.
James Patrick "Jamie" McEwan, recipient of C&K's 2014 Lifetime Achievement Award, attempted the first descent of Tibet's Yarlung Tsangpo River in 1998 with his brother Tom McEwan, Rogel Zbel and Doug Gordon. McEwan, who won the 1972 Olympic bronze medal in C-1 whitewater slalom, was a passionate river explorer, and a friend and mentor to many in the paddling community. He died in June at the age of 61.

Sprint announced a HD voice handset – the HTC Evo – last week, the first time the technology has gotten any real attention in the US, especially from mainstream media outlets like Time and Consumer Reports.
Plus, ABI Research predicts that both Verizon and MetroPCS will soon bring HD voice (and VoLTE) handsets to market as well, as most US operators will apparently tie HD voice rollout tightly to the introduction of VoLTE.
So is HD voice finally taking off in the US, where it has lagged? Jim Eller at ABI thinks so:
"The demand for HD Voice in VoLTE phones will provide the critical mass necessary to encourage the device manufacturers to produce large quantities of phone models with HD Voice, which should lead to widespread adoption."
We asked this same question on Twitter and got this (cleaned up) response from HD Voice guru Doug Mohney of HD Voice News:
"2012 year of HD voice? For North America, maybe 2013. Europe's year of HD voice is now."
And lest we forget why HD voice has the potential to add such value to operator offerings, here is a 2011 clip from Orange, a pioneer that rolled out HD voice in the UK way back in 2010 and currently runs about one-third of all HD voice networks:

Reader Tom send me this nice Plodding Miller and Windmill woodblock for confirmation and identification of the printmaker. I was positive I'd seen it before, some time ago, but it took me nevertheless some time puzzling and understanding and reading the signature, go through my archive and find the maker: B.G. Molyneaux (not Molyneux, and yes, I know, when you see it it's easy peasy ........)
And that's about all I was able to find. In spite of the french connotation it is a British family name since Anglo Saxon times. Molyneaux is the Irish variety or branch and both spellings of course referring to the profession of ancient ancestors in France: Moulin-le Meunier: Mill-the Miller. The name Bernard seems to circulate in the Irish branch and I wonder if this was a one-off by this obscure artist. Maybe a certain British expert can help ? Another copy of this print was sold last year on Ebay.
And then I happened to remember this print (Dutch, possibly Belgian), no color and because of that maybe not as attractive and appealing, but two artists obviously sharing the same idea around the same time ? Monogrammed J.H. (or J.N.)

As the market demands ever more precise position and speed control, some traditional electrical control, actuation and sensing methods are being discarded and new techniques are emerging. Mark Howard from Zettlex highlights some of the problems with traditional approaches and explains the new technique.
An ideal motion control system is capable of precision control over a high dynamic range - in other words, at high speed as well as low speed. There are a myriad of techniques for the control of electric motors and actuators at either high speed or low speed but problems arise when there is a large difference between the two. This is especially true when the low speed is almost but not quite stationary.
For example, in a camera system, tracking a target moving at 4km/hr at a range of 5km equates to a rotational speed of 0.01O/second, whereas tracking an object moving at 120km/hr at a distance of 100m equates to a rotational speed of 18o/second. This equates to a dynamic range of about 2000. At the slow speed, even a modest discrepancy between the actual and required speed control will mean a large relative error. For example, in a camera system the target object would be lost because a tracking error of 0,01 degrees would mean that the target object might appear to jump or disappear outside the field of view. Such problems are also present in a wide range of applications such as gunnery control systems, radar, location devices, laser systems and scanners.
Various technical problems can arise when there is a high dynamic range for the actuation system. At low rotational speeds, traditional motors are either hugely inefficient or do not receive sufficient counts per second from their corresponding motor encoder for reasonable speed control. In some cases, motors are very inefficient and can overheat at low speed because the cooling usually provided by shaft or winding rotation no longer provides any cooling effect. To ensure more reasonable performance at low speed, a gearbox with a very large reduction ratio can be used so that a reasonable motor speed can be maintained and hence provide stable control at the output shaft. Unfortunately, this then leads to problems at high speeds, because the motor is simply unable to reach the required speed for rapid actuation of the output shaft.
One solution is to provide the motor with a feedback or servo in the form of sufficient rate of 'ticks' even at low speed that it can maintain its low speed. This requires a high resolution encoder to feedback position and/or speed information from the output shaft. Typically, a high resolution, absolute encoder is required. Traditionally, such functionality has been provided by multi-speed resolvers or precision optical encoders (usually referred to as ring encoders). Precision resolvers are notoriously expensive and can present engineers with packaging problems due to their bulk, weight and precision installation tolerances. Similarly, optical ring encoders are expensive and also require precision mechanical installation. Unlike resolvers, which are usually very robust, optical devices in such applications offer limited resilience to shock or vibration (due to their use of glass scales) and their operating temperatures are limited. They also suffer reliability problems from foreign matter. High precision optical devices are particularly susceptible to foreign matter because they use fine optical gratings to attain the high number of counts per revolution. Their absolute position output can be thrown by particulates such as dust or sand whose dimensions approximate to the features of the optical grating.
However, a new generation of sensor has entered the market in recent years and has a growing reputation not only in the traditional high-end aerospace & defence markets, but also in the more mainstream industrial and domestic sectors. This new generation of sensor uses the same basic physics as traditional resolvers and linear transformers and so offers comparable levels of robustness. This new generation of sensor uses printed circuit boards and modern digital processors as opposed to the traditional bulky transformer designs and analogue electronics. The approach is elegant and also opens up a range of applications for inductive sensors as high precision, high resolution angle encoders.
Zettlex technology is the forerunner of this new generation inductive technique and has grown over recent years thanks to some high profile design wins. The use of printed circuits enables sensors to be printed onto thin flexible substrates, which can also eradicate the need for traditional cables and connectors. The flexibility of this approach - both physically and from the ability to readily provide customised designs for OEMs - is a major advantage. As with traditional inductive techniques, the approach offers reliable, precision measurement in harsh environments but without the drawbacks of weight, bulk, cost and precision installation tolerances. Such devices can also be encapsulated to enable operation in submerged or chemically aggressive environments. There are also some important advantages:
* High precision from high resolution (up to 16M counts per rev), high repeatability and zero hysteresis
* No need for bearings, seals, bushes, service or maintenance
* Naturally suited to large through bore design - allowing through shafts, slip rings, hydraulics and rotary joint mechanics to pass through
* Simplification of the electrical interface - typically a DC supply and absolute, digital signal.

If you have never grown sunflowers, try it sometime. You will be very successful!
I planted a few mammoth sunflowers in our garden bed last year. Wow! I had no idea how tall they would get. . .probably around 7 feet! They have huge root balls, and we had such a hard time last fall pulling the dead plants out of the ground. I vowed never to plant them again.
Ha! This year I found four volunteer seedlings when I was planting our early spring seedlings. I didn't have the heart to pull them out, so here we go again with the mammoth sunflowers! They are going to be even taller than last year, probably in the 8- to 9-foot range!
Sunflowers always result in a favorable outcome.
Today. . .live your life like sunflowers. . .Successfully!

Transitional Justice Awareness Workshops Conducted as Public Platforms to Address Past InjusticeDec 24, 2013
Yemen's Ministry of Legal Affairs (MoLA), in cooperation with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Office of High Commissioner of Human Rights (OHCHR), continues its efforts to support transitional justice in Yemen by conducting four educational workshops in four governorates. During November and December 2013, four two-day civic education workshops have been organized on topics of transitional justice and national reconciliation in Hodaidah, Taiz, Aden and Mukalla. These events came after the first similar conference in Sana'a. The workshops aimed at assisting Yemeni citizens to understand the concept of transitional justice and its mechanisms, to give them opportunity to highlight and diagnose the most important social, political and institutional obstacles relevant to transitional justice and how to overcome them to achieve national reconciliation.
In a transparent atmosphere during the workshops' discussion, around 500 participants from various levels of Government of Yemen (GoY), human rights activists, religious and tribal leaders, journalists, intellectuals, as well as representatives of victims' associations, marginalized, youth and women groups have agreed on eight main points to be enforced to support Transitional Justice. The first recommendation is to organize a national wide transitional justice awareness campaign in order to assist citizens to understand the concept of transitional justice and how to achieve their rights. The establishment of Truth Commission, Commission of Inquiry into the violation of 2011 and Human Rights independent body is a prerequisite for transitional justice processes and it is more important that these bodies are led appropriate leadership. The efforts of the Land and Dismissals Commissions based in Aden should be supported. The state should design reparations programme, with special focus on compensations. Other measures such as restitution and rehabilitation should be also developed. The right of Remembrance to Suffering needs to be protected. Memorialization policy should endorse the lessons learned from the past in order to ensure that are note repeated again in the Yemeni society. Perpetrators should be held accountable for serious crimes, as this is part of the objectives of the Transitional Justice. The country's laws should be consistent to the international human rights laws and conventions which also leading to reforming of the security institutions and particularly the judicial sectors.
"Defined recommendations to help the Ministry of Legal Affairs to structure appropriate strategy to meet expectations of the citizens", The Minister of Legal Affairs Mohammed Al-Mekhlafi says. He added that the workshops clearly showed that open discussion between representatives of the Government of Yemen and civil society to reach common ground of sensitive political issues was possible in Yemen and would lead to achieving national reconciliation.
The UNDP's Acting Resident Representative, Mahamed Hassen stressed that societal dialogue about the past has legitimized transitional justice process and contributed to achieving requirements of November 2011 political agreement. Involving representatives of Government and civil society in the discussions to address the injustice of the past helps in overcoming sectarian and regional divide and generating understanding between various societal groups that will further contribute to achieving lasting peace, he added.
In the coming months, the Ministry of Local Administration, UNDP and OHCHR will continue organizing civic education and consultative activities focusing on all local communities and engaging CSOs in project implementation for the purpose of including wider society in discussions on the future of Yemen and achieving national reconciliation.
The Transitional Justice Project assists Yemeni society in achieving national reconciliation by establishing values of tolerance and dialogue, encouraging citizens to live peacefully and enhancing the CSOs to play a vital role in advancing just society, marked by justice, equality, human rights protection and rule of law.

Necessity is the mother of invention. High demand squared, low competition, is today's market. Yesterday's successes are tomorrow's failures. But the future's market, like a squirrel harvesting its nuts to prepare for a long winter, is more critical to survival.
Minimize your losses, before you maximize your gains.
I am an American and Americans are the worst people in the world to work for. Because of greed like Gordon Gecko, the lust for short term profit where it's get in and get out like sex, treating the low-end worker like dirt, and all the classic clichés where my mentor, William Edward Deming, an electrical engineer and mathematician, who knew there was a cultural problem in America, forcing him with his philosophy of statistical process control, a series of concepts designed to empower the low end worker with respect and knowledge the autonomy to work smarter not harder and not be under the duress of tyrants in management who know far less then the employees and make too many bad decisions, and empower higher ranking engineers who contribute less than technicians. SPC has been proven to improve both quality and quantity, which is unprecedented as historically one usually sacrifices the other. Deming was forced to go to Japan in 1950 because of the hard-headed stance of corporate America where he created what became the largest economic empire in the world in 1991, before the Japanese government destroyed the economy with high tariffs, and the rest of the world caught up with improved automation, and many jobs left Japan for China.
Deming said, "You win, I win", and many companies in Japan would help their competition, at first you may lose market share, but then you expand the size and credibility of your industry, and respect from your customers for being less than ruthless cut-throats. Competition is a good thing, respect your opponent, rather than always trying to undermine him by looking for the Achilles heal, respect obstacles and overcome them, and win respect as heroes and heroines of innovation, for more word-of-mouth recommendations and back-links to your websites for much higher Page Rank, but more importantly, in order to help people and help the environment, and improve your reputation for being less greedy. Also known as Reiker Team Management, decisions are made by teams and not rulers in an old-style hierarchy, which means more income for "chair-people" instead of managers and less work. Power to the little guy, with anarcho-mutualism, the restoration of moral, scruples, ethics, and values, not everything requires sacrifice or compromise.
The classic clichés of why American companies are traditionally inferior but only competitive through cut-throat politics and unstable hiring and lay-off cycles, are as follows:
Fix the blame, not the problem
Too many chiefs, and not enough Indians
Brown-nosing sycophants
Fair-haired boy, fair-haired girl
Kill the messenger
Damned if you do, damned if you don't
Crap rolls down hill
There are many other clichés but understandably it is a human predicament, not just an American one, as globalism brings us together and stereotypes become less useful. Most of us want to be self-employed, multi-task, and have business-to-business relationships, as Marx and Proudhon wanted to convert many proletariats and lumpen proletariats like me into artisans or self-employed people. Where you need more than one employee per company, Proudhon's concept of industrial democracy is one of the first great ideas as CEO's can let all other employees vote on everything, wages, benefits, working conditions, etc., let the board and CEO have veto power, and be over-ridden with a 2/3 majority vote or a percentage decided upon by charter and board meeting, cut salary to avoid lay-offs, etc. Many companies go out of business because of psychological invoicing with artificial money, when many of these businesses should offer each employee the status of account's manager, controlling, spending and receiving real revenue, treating each job like a business, as it is the paying customer who is always right, and some industrial democracies need not have managers, CEO's, directors, or even a human resources department, just departments voting on hiring/firing practices, and all other affairs of the firm, with no wages or salaries, only commission, who buy their own equipment and supplies, or pool assets with negotiated percentages for shared equipment and supplies. At first, the workers should base their percent commission in order to correspond to the current average hourly wage, based on percentage of current total revenue of the firm per fiscal quarter, then let an exam taken every good time interval (eg. every 3 months, or annually) and be issued by a qualified accounts manager that tests the worker for education/job skills, which will be 1/3 of the total score, and a survey of coworkers and customers in the field who purchased products/services from the worker rate/review the worker for customer service, which will be another 1/3 of the total score, and then a percentage of the sale of products originating from corporate funding to coworkers and customers in the field, to be 1/3 of the total score, and the computer will compare the the final score with that of the previous time interval, and the rise or decline of the score will transform the commission percentage accordingly when compared to a floating average for all workers at the firm. While the worker/accounts manager should purchase their own equipment/supplies, and share in the cost of shared equipment/supplies, typically used by members of the same department, invoicing co-workers should be based on cost based on consumption of materials and depreciation costs of equipment. These companies persevere much longer, make better products and services, have less absenteeism, and worked quite well since the 1840's, especially here in the U.S. in the early 1990's in a bad recession where it was understood long-term job security would otherwise be a thing of the past. Bitcoin does something similar with payment systems, a peer-to-peer network with open source software based on encryption, not trust, decentralizing banking. The individual is king, and in essence, I am not only an anarchist, I am a nihilist, as institutions are also evil, a big fan of the Russian Renaissance of the 1870's, like Dostoevsky, who hated Western values and all that it corrupts, highly moral people who rejected not only the government, but factories and churches, just grow carrots in your back yard and live off that. Like the Germans and Japanese, it is better to work on long term health, and take less money as CEO's. Marx said exploitation is fair, and boards who award CEO's huge salaries and authorize massive lay-offs are fair, the distribution between industrial democracies and traditional companies will always be a function of the behavior of the stock holder, who think, but are now proven wrong, can make more money with aggressive stocks in traditional companies in the long run, but older and more conservative investors have preferred the stability of slow-growth firms, now the young and old will prefer industrial democracies. Unstable traditional companies will probably dissipate because of the inevitable absence of insider trading laws, which have proven not to protect small stock investors and Internet stock price tracking of more small investors, to better anticipate price changes through Fourier analysis and more responsibility assigned to the small investor to stay ahead of or punish with a sell-off CEO's and directors, who dump stock to cheat the small investor. Marketing and advertising, the largest industry in the world, largely does the same thing as pay-per impression and pay-per-click guarantees the small start-up businesses, who are not branded, will lose money (negative return-on-investment) the vast majority of the time, so online ROI tracking, analytics, especially good Googlebot Search Engine Optimization, where Pagerank usually comes from hard word to get recommendations for more votes on websites with links, high ROI press releases based on confirmation of low price, targeting a niche audience, and verification of size of audience (Initial press releases from major players like PRWeb.com and PRNewsWire.com, though expensive, enhance credibility for professional businesses and create permanent links and traffic that rarely dissipate over time) are all critical, with keywords in content with a high number of searches and low number of competitors are critical, especially as a loss-leader to products and services that represent the future's market. WordTracker.com is an excellent source for looking up keywords, synonyms and fluctuations of words for more keyword combinations, the number of searches of keywords in time intervals, and the KEI (square of the number of searches, divided by the number of competitors). Selling high click-through-rate inline advertising, graphic with keyword verbiage directly corresponding to keywords in main content, will yield significantly higher ROI's and annoy surfers less then ads on side of page. The same applies to references to sponsors in podcasts, versus commercials in timed intervals often ignored. Social media and podcasts have higher ROI's than traditional advertising, and can be exploited by offering forums, social media, and podcasts on websites, with verification of ratings/traffic, and allowing surfers to add extensive content to attract more targeted traffic from search engines. Diversification over different advertising sources can be very wasteful unless branded with good ROI ad tracking (Adminder.com is the original player that I used and worked for), repeat impressions of ads with higher ROI to viewer/customer always increases ROI over time. Good Web analytics, for understanding your visitors demographics, ratio of unique versus raw visitors, as a low ratio is good indicating repeat and addicted visitors, and especially for analyzing referral URL's and referral keywords, can greatly improve ROI, especially when cookies are instantiated for different referral domains/keywords, then invisible pixels are used on sales confirmation page to register sales amount to database, to better optimize content for more valuable keywords. Google publishes monthly search numbers for all keyword combinations, with Google Trends also useful in analyzing sense of direction of popular topics. Charting changing KEI's over time, with divestment in lower KEI products/services, and increased investment in that with increasing KEI's, with understanding of future's market based on trend, and all pertinent factors, like war in the Middle East harming the supply of crude, causing the price of today's gasoline to go up. Price should be based on the equilibrium price where demand and supply curves intersect, which should be plotted over time when plotting quantity of goods and services sold (demand) and in stock (supply) as a function of price. Pay-per-sale is a great way to take away market share from big, expensive and inefficient quasi-monopolies like Facebook and Google, as seller and reseller rarely ever lose money from these affiliate programs, and can take away serious market share from other big players in the brick-and-mortar world, and all factors considered, the Third Industrial Revolution, incited by my tax revolt with Star Trek-like technology, David overcoming Goliath, and the rebirth of the Second Industrial Revolution, Internet driven in the 1990's when websites could be built for little money and now better and much less money and effort with WordPress, and cheap Web domain registration and hosting services, much higher bandwidth, will now be permanent with the potential of the 1500% ROI's common in the 1990's, giving almost everyone far more income.
I recommend everyone read "Fat Cats and Democrats" by Domhoff (1972), which shows most high-income individuals/groups donate to the Democratic Party, not the Republicans, as the fat cats want to keep you poor through proletariat socialism, suppress your wages and rape your stock values, often have tax shelters, hoping their competition pays higher taxes, and often represent businesses that offer cheap commodities/services and pray on consumers who are poor and want to keep you poor. Republicans are no better, they are funded by the plutocratic socialists, welfare for the rich, who want to invade the rest of the world, let the rest of the world invade us, money for the military-industrial complex, the nation-builders, the chambers of commerce who want cheaper, more criminally-inclined immigrant labor, and create harm and chaos to make you more dependent. Both Republicans and Democrats are big government, hence the immortal words of Alex Jones, "Government wants to grow to keep you dependent". And Rush Limbaugh is wrong, the liberal media is not the state-run media, the liberal media runs the state. Big government means a high misery index, more suffering, and recessions historically caused by the media trying to cause paranoia, snickering maniacally at your suffering and addiction to bad news, especially your ghoulish fascination of the most sadistic and heinous of crimes bestowing the most innocent of victims, so their sponsors can benefit from the low wages of destitute and often miscreant labor and low income consumers. Now the vultures are in the tarantula's web, wiggling and squirming to fight for survival by reporting on Dante's Inferno on earth, my first great legacy, then after their bodily juices have been drained and they no longer offer free publicity, best made critical, not supportive, of the spider that trapped them in a web of their own deception, the tarantula moves in for consumption. So let's give the codependent vultures and Nazi-vaginas a taste of their own medicine by not paying taxes and reward the audited who lose money with an International power-ball lottery jackpot. Anarchy today, anarchy tomorrow, anarchy forever.
Like Marx, and for religious reasons, I do not like unions. What largely defeated Marx's dream, in his lifetime, of a proletariat revolution, with dictatorship of the proletariat, and anarchy, were unions working with management for better wages and working conditions, he said this is no good, you must end exploitation. But unlike Marx and Proudhon (In the 19th century, they were not called Marxists, they were called Hegelians) I do not believe labor guilds should seize control of companies, whose assets belong to stock holders. Something similar to what Marx predicted almost happened in France in 1968 (The Society of the Festival) where workers tried to shut down the country, but were broken up by the national guard. Just don't pay taxes, buy and sell tax audit insurance, tax audit lottery tickets, and use PayPal to quickly and conveniently collect donations with business or premiere accounts, and give major percentage to those who lose money from tax audits, always consistent with PayPal's terms of service, and if they reject us, we sue, assuming we still have courts, or go to the opposition, as PayPal cannot control millions of people worldwide and micro-manage these accounts, which are not high-risk and have very low numbers of charge backs, otherwise they will spend a fortune on customer service and lose market share – I don't want to threaten PayPal, I have nothing but respect for Elon Musk, founder and former CEO, PayPal knows I have fired the Shot Heard Round the World, Minuteman Round II, so they should accept the increased rate of the collapse of all government, where they and the rest of us can all win. Like Deming said, you win, I win. And politicians around the world will capitulate to or challenge and self destruct when in the face of the inevitable, the conquest of tyranny.
Karl Marx said, "To each according to his need, from each according to his talent." An interpretation of Adam Smith is "The customer is always right." Until now, a consumer driven economy, curtailed only by government, has created many tedious, menial jobs below the worth and talents of most people, but now there is increasing harmony between the talent and the fit, based on more automation, integration, the need for more creative, analytical people, and an understanding that the best things in life are free. Money can be the root of all evil, one reason the British anarchists at afed.org.uk feel we not only need to get rid of leadership, but capitalism as well. Need-greed is not the final result of freedom, people get the occupation they deserve as all signs show industrial democracies will outlive hierarchy companies, summarized by the following:
1. Mandatory SPC for better quality and quantity products/services when low-end workers are in control of innovation
2. Less fear of libel/slander/defamation of character lawsuits with whistle blowers attacking those who prosper from layoffs, subverting workers.
3. Less absenteeism, happier workers because of higher wages, better job security, corporate heads willing to take across-the- board pay cuts in hard times necessary to survive short and long term
4. Threat of strikes, protests
5. CEOs/directors happier with long term versus short term income, cooperative association dictated by Proudhon (you win, I win)
Some call industrial democracies anarcho-communism, but many CEO's and boards of directors would love to pay commission only, with fewer fears of a strike because the workers, in a matter of speaking, are truly self-employed and can truly treat the job as a business with full autonomy, and it might mean fewer strikes, To each is own, and my personal desired prescription is anarcho-capitalism with nihilism for all earthlings, with anarcho-communism only done with consent of management. Either way, income should rise for most all commoners, with the desired effects of supply-side economics (lower unemployment, inflation, interest rates, and creditors being forced to give loans to people with bad credit, who have bad credit 90% of the time because of no fault of their own) – the five-faceted process.
Call it "electronic bartering" when capitalism, which Marx calls, "the only mode of production in history that creates an economic surplus", will continue to do so when commissioned workers at firms are technically all benefactors of the surplus through profit sharing, and can finally treat the job as a business just like the self-employed artisan. ESVeDCIAP (Electronic Supply Versus Demand Curve Intercept Automatic Pricing), which is a program that plots price versus quantity of products/services over time and changes the prices (products/wages/etc.) to the supply/demand curve intercept, guaranteed to maximize total revenue, will alleviate exploitation workers of low wages (if commissions are not allowed) and consumers of high prices, as hierarchy-type companies produce wealth historically only at the top by suppressing the little guy.
In the long run, it has been proven that the type B personality is more productive than type A people. So appreciating the worker, who is also a customer, with even cadence in work productivity, assisting co-workers with a re-assignment if not a good fit for the job, with meetings using the Deming philosophy at the beginning and end of each day, is a prescription for peace in the work place with happier customers.
Capitalism -> Socialism -> Anarcho-Capitalism with a Hierarchy + Leaderless Anarcho-Capitalism-> Anarcho-Communism with Voluntaryism + Techno-Anarchy (lack of work incentive less necessary because of automation) -> Nihilism with Techno-Anarchy (but never under-estimate the need to think like and apply the knowledge for living like an anarcho-primitivist at times)

This first post is just a little introduction with some information and basic things … so let's start, shall we? I am super duper hyper excited to start this blog and I hope you'll all love it as much as I do (already!). Okay, who am I and what are you going to see here?
Well, I'm Yvonne, 21 years old and from the beautiful Vienna in Austria! My native language is German but ever since I found my way to Tumblr, Goodreads and some other social platforms I prefer writing in English. Anyway, as you probably already know, I love books! Reading is one of my main hobbies but unfortunately it sounds quite boring to most of my friends and family, that's also why I love the internet so much. I met lots and lots of amazing people that share the same interests as me and now they're some of my greatest friends ever!
On my blog here I'll be reviewing some books I read and maybe even posting some pictures of my Instragram (all book-related of course).

Hollywood's video-driven Dream Team--Steven Spielberg, David Geffen and Jeffrey Katzenberg--had generally reassuring words for the print-oriented crowd. Mr. Spielberg said: "Once online media starts to move and talk like TV, it will be a threat to other media. That's still eight to 10 years away." Plus, Mr. Spielberg added: "Print will always be portable." The year-old DreamWorks SKG trio said it has 16 films in development, has produced a record album by George Michael and has developed the TV series "Chance." But none of its pending projects are in the print realm, nor do they foresee that being so. "We don't have any expertise there; we don't do magazines," said Mr. Geffen.
Judith L. Beaudry, associate director of media/print for Procter & Gamble Co., urged magazines to do a better job of measuring their impact with consumers. "We really believe that data is the potential tool that is lacking to really drive this business," she said. "We've increased our print advertising spending this year. We would increase it more if we could really show our product managers that print works for them." She urged a "new and higher level" of accountability. "We think that the industry is at a disadvantage in terms of the timeliness of the data. You can get television data the next morning ... it's time to catch up, let alone get ready for the new wave of media."
Hearst Magazines President D. Claeys Bahrenburg, installed Monday as chairman of the Magazine Publishers of America, called for greater ethnic diversity in the magazine industry. "The composition of magazine industry executives does not reflect the changing ethnic, racial and gender mix of magazine readerships," he said. "The industry must have people who can publish and edit magazines for the real world in order to ensure a prosperous future."
Other MPA officers elected to one-year terms were Francis P. Pandolfi, chairman, Times Mirror Magazines, vice-chairman; Steven T. Florio, president, Conde Nast Publications, treasurer; Thomas M. Kenney, president, U.S. Magazine Publishing, Reader's Digest Association, secretary.
Raymond W. Smith, chairman-CEO of Bell Atlantic, sounded a three-point alarm for traditional magazine publishers: 1) Distribution is undergoing a revolution of Guttenbergion proportions; 2) The new media will require new skills that were previously considered other people's responsibility; 3) Waiting means failure. Also, Mr. Smith predicted that an omnibus telecommunications bill has a 70% chance of passage this year, and 90% next year. "The compromises have been worked out," he said.
Christie Hefner, just in from China and London, brought plenty of good news: Playboy's current issue is a big hit featuring Farrah Fawcett and a first-ever fashion ad from Calvin Klein (Joel West) in Calvin's underwear best, plus the magazine's first videogame advertising, a spread from Sega. Also, Playboy TV launched last week in the U.K.

The Calgary Flames have signed general manager Brad Treliving to a multiyear contract extension.
"We are striving to create a level of continuity and stability, as all successful teams do," Flames president of hockey operations Brian Burke said in a statement. "Today's announcement is another step forward for our organization on that path. Under Brad's leadership, we have seen progress over the past three seasons and look forward to building on that growth in the coming years."
The Flames have gone 125-108-18 over three seasons since Treliving's hiring, including playoff appearances in 2014-15 and this past season. Calgary was swept by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round last month.
Treliving was vice president of hockey operations for the Arizona Coyotes before joining the Flames.

Yuting Wang, Assistant Professor in the Department of International Studies, CAS, was awarded a Faculty Research Travel Grant in 2012.
Describe your research project
This project seeks to contribute to scholarly studies on the relationship between economic activities and religious life. Specifically, the study examines the roles that transnational business activities play in the religious beliefs and practices among Chinese Muslims. This required conducting field work among Chinese Muslim business communities in cities on China's east coast, as well as Muslim concentrated cities in the northwest. The study strives to add to the ongoing discussions on the compatibility of Islam with modernity and non-Islamic cultures.

For our Bay Area swimmers in CA who like open water, do you know about SwimArt? I tried them out a few years ago, joining some members from my team at that time, Marin Pirates Masters. We attended the "Introduction" course that SwimArt offers. They do a terrific job of working with all levels of participants. Even though I consider myself an experienced short distance open water swimmer (1-3 miles), I picked up additional tips from the great instructors they had with us that day. If you are interested in swimming in SF Bay, the Alcatraz escape, and other ventures, consider looking into Swim Art. They offer many open water swimming programs in San Francisco Bay and beyond. Not just instruction, but regular guided swims as well. Check 'em out!
