How Adopting Broker Technology and Services Grows New Business
December 9, 2020
Here at BenefitMall, we are big proponents of both broker technology and the streamlined services it produces. We see technology and new services as tools for growing a broker's business. Any broker looking to add new business cannot rely on the old ways of doing things. Times change, and brokers have to change with them.
We believe that technology and insurance do not have to be at odds. We also don't think it's wise for brokers and general agencies to ignore technology for any reason, let alone the false assumption that the old ways of doing things work just fine.
Are you looking to grow your business? Are you looking to bring on new clients and expand your total book of business for the coming year? If so, make a point of embracing new broker technology and its related services.
On the surface, the insurance industry seems to be one dominated by the older, stuffy class of agents and brokers who remember selling insurance before the information age. This perception is not a good one. In fact, our industry has had trouble recruiting younger workers because this image persists. But things are changing with technology.
An entirely new sector of the technology industry, dubbed 'insurance tech', is laser focused on bringing insurance into the 21st century with all sorts of technology. We are seeing everything from artificial intelligence (AI) to mobile apps being brought to the table.
This is the sort of technology brokers need to attract new business. They need to be able to sit with clients and discuss how new technologies can help them choose benefits packages and sell those packages to their employees. The more we involve technology, the more appealing insurance becomes to the consumers who actually use it.
Nowhere is the need for technology and related services more apparent than in the online arena. Twenty years ago, employees were content to thumb through thick paper manuals disclosing everything they needed to know about their insurance benefits. Those days are long gone. Today's younger workers do everything online.
Insurance tech embraces the online model. It promotes publishing documents online in easily accessible digital formats. It encourages carriers and benefit plan administrators to give employees direct access to their account information online.
Putting everything online is another way to attract new business. As a broker, you can tell your prospects all about the advantages of managing benefits online. You can talk about the strength of cloud computing, individual account access, real-time data, and so on.
The strongest selling tool brokers have is pricing. This is yet another area in which technology makes it possible to grow brokerage business. How so? By giving brokers instant access to a broader range of carriers with competitive pricing.
Consider our business model. We are a general agency with access to more than 125 carriers nationwide. We work with some 20,000 trusted advisors. Our network alone gives brokers access to more than enough options to meet their clients' needs. Best of all, the options are always at the brokers fingertips.
In the end, it all leads to better pricing. Brokers can instantly check dozens of benefits packages for real-time pricing and nearly instant quotes. They can do in a couple of hours what used to take weeks to do.
Technology and the services that flow from it are ideal for growing your business. If you are looking to add new business for 2021, go all-in on insurance tech. You will be glad you did

text: The contemporary flâneur is confronted with a radically different world in comparison to the Parisian arcades of the nineteenth century during which the idea of the flâneur was conceptualised. The current urban milieu of the flâneur is dominated by consumerism, computer systems and surveillance, and the research posed here explores the flâneur within this environment. The flâneur was originally visualised on the streets and arcades of the city; however, cities do not only exist as buildings and streets and have become global entities that are constituted from the physical and the virtual. Throughout this study reference is primarily made to the work of Francis Alÿs to elucidate theoretical concepts. This study proposes that there is an absence of the teleological goal in the journey of the flâneur and as such, the flâneur wanders the streets without aim; however, in the process creates narratives and leaves traces of his journey. The ubiquity of surveillance in the contemporary metropolis complicates the flâneur's relationship with the latter. Consequently the impact of surveillance on the flâneur and the flâneur's daily wanderings are examined to ascertain its influence on the flâneur in a hyperreal society. In contemporary thinking, the traditional idea of the male flâneur requires reassessment and this research investigates the possibility of the female flâneur and women's presence in the public spaces of the city and the virtual realm of cyberspace. Furthermore, women are intricately linked to consumerism and their experience and position in the city are influenced by being seen as objects of the gaze.

An anonymous video that appears to show several police officers torturing young male suspects in Argentina has outraged many people in the South American country.
The video prompted a swift reaction from Argentine authorities. Eduardo Sylvester, security minister in Salta province, asked a judge to issue arrest warrants against the police officers accused of being involved in the incident, according to Telam, Argentina's state news agency. Five officers were arrested Thursday night, the agency said.
On Friday, a sixth officer was arrested, said a police official who asked not to be identified because he wasn't authorized to talk to the media.
The video, posted on YouTube, shows two young men wearing only their underwear. They are surrounded by several men in civilian clothes who are apparently the police officers implicated in the case.
The suspects are being held in a patio. A high concrete wall is seen in the background. The men in civilian clothes are shown pouring water on the suspects.
At one point, an interrogator asks a question. The suspect in the foreground replies in a fearful voice, "I swear to you that I don't know anything about it." He repeats the sentence several times. His interrogator then covers his head with a plastic bag, ties it around his neck and grabs the suspect by the head.
The suspect starts yelling, then shaking and finally drops to the floor. The interrogator takes the bag off his head and the suspect is seen on the floor gasping for air.
Another suspect is shown kneeling on the floor with his hands tied behind his back and being held up by one of the interrogators while another pours water on his head.
The police source said officials believe the video was shot by one of the arrested officers. Officials don't know who posted the video to YouTube he said.
Sylvester told CNN affiliate Canal 13 that officials acted quickly because, "We, the government of Salta province, are strongly convinced that these police officers are not representative of who we truly are and we are not going to tolerate under any circumstances that officers commit this kind of crime."

Bomb disposal is one of the most difficult task for human beings, which might breed many dangers. So bomb disposal robots are developed to assist human in such task. In fact, bomb disposal robot is actually a kind of unmanned vehicle that still need human to operate outside of the field. A bomb disposal robot is usually loaded with a high definition camera that helps to detect the environment. Such device should be allowed to rotate in 360-degree so as to provide a full-round view of the surroundings. And most importantly, the robot arm is the key to conduct the actual dismantling of a bomb. To enable a flexible and accurate movement of the robot arm, a slip ring is needed.

As for the latter, it adopts a single mode optical rotary joint with 1 channel. With the assistance of this optoelectronic slip ring, the bomb disposal robot can capture a vivid and all-round view of the site.
JINPAT LPM-18C Miniature Slip Ring for Bomb Disposal Robots
In case of the robot arm, JINPAT recommends LPM miniature slip ring series. JINPAT miniature slip ring is a first choice for robot arms. There are several joints of the bomb disposal robot arm to enable a flexible movement. Given the danger of the task, every move should be accurate and prompt.

Local animal rights advocates are voicing concerns over possible changes to the definition of animal cruelty in the city of North Las Vegas.
Opposition to horse roping rodeo events was revived this week after animal rights advocates voiced concerns over a proposed amendment to the definition of animal cruelty in North Las Vegas.
The amendment would have allowed the tripping of cattle as well as rodeo roping events.
It was taken off the City Council agenda after officials received complaints.
The city now prohibits anyone from trying to “intentionally trip or fell” cattle or horses, which could hinder U.S. and Mexican rodeo events.
North Las Vegas Assistant City Manager Ryann Juden said the change would align the city more closely with nearby cities that allow the intentional tripping of bovine animals.
While some animal rights advocates say loosening the restrictions would unnecessarily hurt animals for a quick buck, supporters say Mexican rodeo events are being unfairly targeted and argue that the potential economic gains could benefit the struggling city.
Las Vegas prohibits horse tripping, and Clark County also prohibits horse roping events.
Roping a horse’s front legs is crucial to some Mexican rodeo events. The county ban was intended to protect horses from being pulled down by their legs.
Alejandro Galindo, president of the Mexican American Rodeo Association, said the “intentional tripping” ban was redundant because his organization banned it from U.S. events decades ago. The only horse roping events allowed involve lassoing the horse’s front legs in a catch-and-release style, Galindo said.
Neither Las Vegas nor the county bans the roping of cattle, which is integral to American rodeo events such as “team roping” and “calf roping” in which animals are intentionally brought down.
Under the city’s current municipal code, it’s unclear if an event like the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, held annually at the Thomas & Mack Center, could take place in North Las Vegas.
Cindy Schonholtz, director of Industry Outreach for the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association, which hosts the popular NFR event, said the organization has never had an attorney look into the plausibility of a North Las Vegas rodeo.
North Las Vegas had a rodeo at the Silver Nugget during the 1970s, but strict ordinances have prevented them in recent years, according to former Clark County Commissioner Tom Collins.
Collins, the lone dissenting voice in a 2013 county vote that scrapped a proposal that would have added some horse roping events, said he has been pushing North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee for years to bring rodeo events to the city.
North Las Vegas City Councilman Isaac Barron said he expects the council to revisit the issue.
“There is gonna be a market for charrería, I think,” said Barron, referring to the Mexican rodeo events, called charreadas.
Barron, who remembers going to Silver Nugget rodeos as a kid, said he would love to see a small regional rodeo in North Las Vegas.
Mexican and U.S. rodeos both showcase horse riding and bull riding events, but charreadas tend to emphasize style over speed.
Charreadas have faced criticism in Clark County before.
In 2013, the World Series of Charrería was set to take place at the South Point, but organizers canceled after they failed to get an exception to a ban on events that involved roping a horse’s legs. Series organizers had expected to draw more than 15,000.
Stacia Newman, president of Nevada Political Action for Animals, argued the city could hurt its image if the amendment had gone through.
“North Las Vegas doesn’t have to stoop this low, to torture animals for a few extra bucks,” Newman said.
Galindo argued that American rodeo events also lead to animal harm but that the charreada community lacks the political power and sponsors of the bigger rodeo organizations.
Dr. Temple Grandin, a professor of animal science at Colorado State University, said rodeo animals can get hurt from poor training, rough handling and overbreeding for specific traits.
Grandin said events in which animals are jerked to the ground can cause severe damage and noted that some rodeo events now impose penalties for jerking a calf.
U.S. rodeos also went through changes over the past century to shed an animal cruelty image, said Richard Slatta, a North Carolina professor who has written extensively about rodeos.
One particular event that was changed in U.S. rodeos was steer roping, Slatta said.
Most sanctioned events now use small calves instead of massive steers, which sometimes broke their necks after being roped, Slatta said.
“Ultimately it comes down to, who does have more political clout at the local level,” he said.

Data for more than half of the people who registered for national identity cards was not verified, a study has suggested.
The research into the ongoing mass enrolment for the National Security Information System (NSIS) project was conducted by Research World International (RWI) for Citizens’ Coalition for Electoral Democracy in Uganda (Ccedu).
It shows that about 46 per cent of those registered were verified. This raises the danger that the project data may undermine the credibility of the national ID system, which could have national security implications. The research is based on a sample of six districts in the north, eight in the west, seven in the east and eight in central Uganda.
“There were efforts to ensure that only Ugandan citizens were registered although not all people were verified,” the report partly reads.
According to Hajji Abdul Nsubuga, the head of the national Id project secretariat, more than 15.2 million people were registered, about one million more than the figure quoted by RWI’s Dr Patrick Wakida. The report was launched at Protea hotel on September 24.
Going by the research findings, about 6.9m had their citizenship verified while 8.2m (54 per cent) were registered without going through the verification process.
According to guidelines of the exercise conducted between April and August, at the local level, the registrations were supposed to be approved by a parish verification committee comprising of a parish chief, a parish internal security officer (Piso), a local leader and an elder.
“Of the entire verification team, 53 per cent were present throughout the day and from the rating of enrolment officers, it was reported that four per cent asked for money from applicants,” the report noted.
Deborah Amanya, the legal manager at NSIS, however, told The Observer that further verification of the applicants was still going on.
“It is not automatic that the parish verification will be accepted, there are various levels of citizenship verification because the applications are going through another validation exercise at Kololo,” Amanya said.
According to the report, about 27 per cent of applicants were turned away by the verification teams because they were less than 16 years, the minimum age for the Id registration. At least 61 per cent of the applicants for the ID had their age verified through submission of documents
The report notes there were some eligible citizens who had their ID applications rejected.
The report also questions the registration of the under-18s without the sanctioning of their parents in accordance with the Uganda Citizenship and Immigration Act 2009. Amanya, however, argues that, for purposes of issuance of Ids, the law allows the registration of an underage without necessarily getting the parent’s nod of approval.
According to NSIS’ roadmap, the first IDs were to be issued this month. However, there are no indications that Ugandans will get Ids this month.
“We have suffered some delays because we have not finalized the guidelines for issuance of the IDs,” the project’s spokesman Paul Bukenya said on Thursday.
To optimize costs, government took on a multisectoral approach bringing together different government departments such as EC, Uganda Bureau of Statistics (Ubos), Immigration department and Uganda registration Services Bureau (URBS) to create a national data bank under NSIS. However, none of the departments can access the data because of the absence of an enabling law.
Electoral Commission for instance, needs the data to extract the national voters’ register ahead of the 2016 general elections.
“All these agencies have been registering Ugandans for their own interests but we want to have a central registry that will be used for other purposes beyond citizenship identification,” Amanya said.

If you were concerned about your mental health and felt it was impacting your performance at work, what would you do?
At the DMZ, we see that many entrepreneurs are still not talking openly about their mental well-being. And these challenges aren’t special to our organization. Mental health concerns in tech entrepreneurship are often referred to as “founder’s blues.” Between 2011 and 2017, founder’s blues has contributed to a number of high-profile suicides in the startup world, including Aaron Swartz, co-founder of Reddit.
Researchers from the University of California found that 72% of entrepreneurs surveyed self-reported mental health concerns. And about 49% disclosed they deal with ADD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, addiction, depression or anxiety.
These figures were described as “significantly higher” than non-entrepreneurs.
If we want to get serious about mental health in tech, we need to be honest about the environment in which we work in. Unfortunately, there is often no work-life balance for entrepreneurs. That is just the nature of the beast — there are short runs of funding and high expectations.
Heading into our third year, DMZ is continuing to provide access to mental health resources by partnering with Inkblot Therapy to connect members of the tech community to accredited counsellors and therapists through confidential video counselling for free.
At the DMZ, we understand that it’s not about solving the fact that individuals will come to face high levels of stress and anxiety. It’s about finding ways to equip them with the proper tools to maneuver the daily ups and downs of startup life.
Let’s work together to reduce the stigma around mental health in the startup community and increase awareness that mental health affects us all.
An estimated 1 in 2 people in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area’s labour force have experienced a mental health issue. Ignite mental health support in your workplace by taking the MindsMatter Assessment today.

People with ankylosing spondylitis who meet the requirements of the Social Security Administration’s definition of disability can qualify for disability benefits.
Although the Social Security Administration (SSA) recognizes ankylosing spondylitis (AS) as a potential impairment, a person with the condition does not automatically qualify for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
A person needs to meet the established criteria for disability benefits, which include the inability to work for a long period.
Applying for SSDI can sometimes be time-consuming and challenging. In addition to the original application, a person often has to file at least one appeal before the SSA approves benefits. Working with a representative may make the process easier.
Keep reading to learn more about disability benefits for people with AS.
AS is a type of inflammatory arthritis that
In many cases, AS is not debilitating. People experience only minor pain and stiffness that comes and goes.
However, some people can experience ongoing pain and stiffness. They may lose flexibility in the spine, or, in more severe cases, part of the spine might fuse.
A person may also experience symptoms in other areas of their body, including the:
Although there is no cure for AS, treatment can help reduce the severity of symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Treatment can help the majority of people living with AS lead a full, active life.
AS is one of the conditions in the SSA’s Listing of Impairments. This document details medical conditions that may impair a person’s ability to work, qualifying them for SSDI.
AS falls under section 14.00, Immune System Disorders — Adult, as part of a subclassification of “inflammatory arthritis.”
Within that listing are several sections about inflammatory arthritis and what qualifies as an impairment. According to the section on AS, a person must meet one of two main criteria:
- spine fixed at a 45-degree angle
- spine fixed at a 30-degree angle and involvement of at least one or two organ systems with one at moderate severity
However, a person living with AS may qualify for SSDI even if they do not meet the exact clinical definition above.
The SSA provides strict guidelines on what qualifies as a disability, stating that a person must:
- have worked long enough and recently enough in a job or jobs that Social Security covers
- be unable to do previous work or adapt to new work due to the disability
- be unable to participate in substantial gainful activity due to the disability
- live with a condition that has lasted or is expected to last for at least 1 year or result in death
A person’s doctor can work with them to document their diagnosis and the effects their symptoms have on their ability to work.
A person can complete the SSDI application online here or call the SSA for assistance at 800-772-1213.
Gathering the required information in advance can make filling out the application easier. However, the SSA states that a person should not delay sending the application. The SSA can help the person acquire some of the needed documents, such as:
- W-2 forms
- birth certificate
- medical records
- pay stubs
People who have difficulty filling out the application may benefit from help from a representative, which people sometimes refer to as an advocate.
Representatives can be anyone the person selects and that the SSA approves. They are often lawyers or paralegals, but they do not have to belong to the legal profession.
A person can contact their local Social Security office to request a list of professionals who assist with applications. They can also find additional lists and resources online and through organizations such as the AARP, which was previously known as the American Association of Retired Persons.
What to have ready when applying for SSDI
The SSA recommends that people print, review, and gather the necessary information on its checklist before starting their application. Some highlights of the checklist include:
- demographic information, including name, date of birth, location of birth, children, marital status, veteran status, and more
- current and previous employer information, including the start and end dates, pay, job training, education, etc.
- medical information, including information specific to the person’s diagnosis, treatment, and outlook with AS
Understanding the terms a person may come across
When applying for SSDI, a person may come across several unfamiliar terms. The following are some common terms that may apply to AS and SSDI:
- Impairment: Impairment is another way to refer to disability. The SSA provides a listing of impairments that helps define what impairments it will recognize. AS may qualify under the broad listing of 14.00 called Immune System Disorders — Adult.
- Residual functional capacity (RFC): RFC refers to the person’s ability to continue doing functional activities. When evaluating a person’s RFC, the SSA may look at factors such as pain, ability to move, and other potentially limiting characteristics of AS.
- Appeal: If the SSA denies an application, a person can file an appeal within 60 days of the denial. There are four levels of appeal: reconsideration, hearing by a judge, appeals council review, and federal court review. A person can find more information on each appeal process here.
- Representative: A person applying for SSDI can appoint a representative to contact the SSA and help fill out the application. Although representatives are often lawyers or paralegals, they can be anyone the SSA approves. A person must request a representative in writing. The representative can only collect fees at the SSA’s discretion.
Applying for disability benefits for AS can be a complex process. A person should start applying as soon as they feel their status will qualify. Often, the SSA denies initial claims, which means a person might need to file an appeal.
Working with a representative may help improve the chances of approval, but it is not a requirement.

I call it a “Quilt” because I had no intention of making this a hobby later on. I had found my old Singer machine that I bought years before my daughter was born and we brought it out to fix some clothes one night. I decided that I liked the idea of making stuff with it and would try something out. Well, lots of money later, here we are. haha I’m in love with this hobby and thought I would share it with you.
Well, I have to admit (I think it’s painfully obvious) that I’m not a very good photographer. So these images were some of my first ones I took before I started reading other people’s blogs and saw that they have these elaborate backgrounds and such. Also, they were taken on my old phone (take that InstaGram), so you can guess why they look so bad.
Anyways, this quilt was my very first one that I ever made (with the exception of the ones I used to make for my Barbies when I was a kid). This first quilt was for my awesome little daughter, J. We went to JoAnns and she picked out of all the materials herself. The white blocks are just a simple white quilting cotton, but the rest were all a corduroy. The back was a chocolate brown linen. I was amazed that she picked these out all by herself. The colors went really well together. Maybe she will be a designer like me when she grows up. 🙂 I wish I could remember what they were called, but it was definitely a long time ago.
On this photo you can see that I had no idea what I was doing for binding. I just extended out the back and folded it over to make the edge. I know that it’s an actual way of doing it, it’s just not my favorite now that I know different ways.
All in all, it turned out pretty well considering I wasn’t even planning on continuing with quilting.

It’s before 6am in Tambor Bay, Costa Rica. The sun has just risen and the air is calm and cool, the sky a pinkish haze dusted with a few low clouds reflecting in the nearly silent bay; silent that is, all but for the songs and calls of hundreds of species of birds that inhabit the area.
On Friday and Saturday, January 10th and 11th, Tambor Bay Birders association hosted one of their many bird counts in the area. With a regular base of about 12 birders in the association, they form groups with other members and volunteers who then split up and explore trails surrounding the bay to identify and record the names of any birds they spot. We had the honor of sharing in the count on Saturday, setting out from the Tambor Tropical Hotel with a group of about 20 participants; a combination of professionals, avid bird watchers and novice bird lovers both from the area and abroad who excitedly point out any fluttering wings or brightly colored flying objects. After a day of meandering through various trails the groups reconvened to determine the collective results of their findings. In this case the count totaled nearly 200 bird species, ranging from more common ones such as the Long-tailed Manakin, to more rare species such as the Mangrove Hummingbird endemic to only the Pacific of Costa Rica.
Tambor Bay Birders not only host these bird counts for reports to the Costa Rica Ornithological Association for official records, but also for local educational purposes. With a noble cause to promote education about birds, nature and conservation, the aim of the association is to involve local residents and students, as well as visitors and volunteers, to help spur greater interest and awareness about Costa Rica’s biodiversity and its valuable place in our world. If you’re interested in joining the association on their next count, you can follow their Facebook page here. You don’t have to be a professional or have your own equipment necessarily (although a good pair of binoculars does help), just bring your curiosity, keen eyes… and of course a little bug spray. 🙂
*Special thanks to Juan Carlos Cruz, Nick Hawkins and the rest of the Tambor Bay Birders for inviting JC Aguirre of JC’s Journeys to participate in this count.

Alright, finals are over! I figured I’d try something different since a bunch of stuff has been building up during my unintentional hiatus. Also, there’s just a lot of good albums that come out this month. I’ve already talked about a few of my favorite upcoming August releases, all of which happen to come out on the 21st (which has turned out to be rather disproportionately concentrated day for album releases). Here’s a little overview of some other albums you should check out this month:
Okkervil River – The Stage Names (Aug 7th)
I’ve never really gotten around to listening to Okkervil River all that much, but The Stage Names is making me feel like I’ve made a huge mistake. Will Sheff has enjoyed a fair amount of critical success over the past few years and again he’s crafted an album that is already being called one of the best of the year. His emotional, folk-tinged power pop recalls the force of Springsteen at times (“Our Life is Not a Movie or Maybe”), yet the album also manages to balance that with a fragile sweetness that’s sure to draw you in again and again. The smooth and poignant integration of the Beach Boys’ “Sloop John B” into the closing “John Allyn Smith Sails” is not to be missed either.
M.I.A. – Kala (Aug 21st)
I don’t know if M.I.A.‘s been engaging in consciousness-expanding activities or what, but this new record feels a lot more spacey and psychedelic than her 2005 debut. I’m not sure if I can say that I like it more than Arular, but it does have a number of bangers on it, not to mention some seriously impressive production pretty much throughout the whole album. At the very least, M.I.A. has definitively shown she’s got the talent to expand on her already diverse sound. Peep the tribal drum-heavy, squawking insanity of “Bird Flu” (yep, she’s still reppin’ the Third World) and that awesome Clash sample on “Paper Planes”.
Download: M.I.A. – Bird Flu
Download: M.I.A. – Paper Planes (removed on request)
Buy: Pre-order Kala from Insound.
The New Pornographers – Challengers (Aug 21st)
It’s fitting that The New Pornographers would release an album in what has become an extraordinary year for indie pop. If we can accept their oft-given title of indie rock supergroup, then Challengers is further evidence that they’re one of just a handful of active supergroups worth listening to (Velvet Revolver, anyone? *gag*). But really, both of these tracks are absolute gems — one from each of the primary songwriters. It seems almost unfair to other pop acts that A.C. Newman and Dan Bejar are writing for the same band… it’s gotta be tough to top that.
Rilo Kiley – Under the Blacklight (Aug 21st)
Indie pop darlings Rilo Kiley are also back this year with Under the Blacklight. The first released track, “The Moneymaker”, has inspired some mixed responses from internet taste-makers, but I think most will agree that the soulful pop of “Silver Lining” is much more enjoyable, if a bit a familiar. I’m such a sucker for hand-claps though.
Animal Collective – Peacebone (Aug 21st)
And let’s not forget the “Peacebone” single. It’s hard for me to call this “one of the best songs” off Strawberry Jam only because all of the songs are just so damn good. A ferocious opening track, “Peacebone” is a straight up onslaught of the twisted, sugary experimental pop that characterizes the fantastic new Animal Collective album. I’m posting the song, but honestly… if you’re still on the fence about this record, I don’t even know what to say to you. Included on the single is the sprawling B-side “Safer” and remixes by Black Dice and Pantha du Prince.
Liars – Liars (Aug 28th)
“Plaster Casts of Everything”, the opener of the upcoming self-titled Liars album, is probably the most straightforward rock song they’ve written since their 2001 debut. And yet, that is somehow the most unexpected thing they could have done. But fear not, dear readers, although they’ve adopted more traditional song structures and trimmings for this record, they’ve still maintained their experimental tendencies. The dense, droning krautrock of Drum’s Not Dead is still a heavy force on the Liars fourth effort, and even gets blended with a little 90’s trip-hop (!?). In other words: yeah, it’s still one of the weirder albums you’ll hear this year.
Phew. And after all that there’s still some more good albums coming out in August that I won’t go into detail about, including:
And here’s the stuff I already have gone into detail about:
On top of all the albums that come out this month, the FREE Panda Bear Live DVD is now available over at Eat Tapes. Beyond the stellar basic package, you can also order a version with a bonus disc of uncut performance footage for a cheap donation ($5-10). This is clearly the better (and moral) choice of the two. Don’t miss out on this, head over here and order a copy.

Offshore Turbine Services (OTS), based in Pontrilas, Herefordshire, was launched three years ago and offers crew, fuel, cargo and equipment transfer services to offshore wind turbines and other offshore developments requiring maritime logistics. The company regards speed, flexibility, minimum vessel downtime and cost effectiveness as major focus points and has just taken delivery of its sixth CTruk boat with a seventh in the final stages of production.
The CTruk boats have a total fuel consumption of 100 litres per hour at 2000rpm. CTruk uses a vacuum infusion process to build composite craft, saving around 40 percent on weight and optimising hull hydrodynamics, meaning that the workboats burn less fuel. The boats also have a moveable wheelhouse and modular deck pod system in which the passenger pod can be craned off to open up the deck area for equipment transfer.
“We are pleased to launch our sixth vessel, Lieutenant P, which is the latest incarnation of the CTruk 20T” said OTS chairman Phil Collins. “The new vessel includes upgrades and refinements that we have worked closely on with CTruk, including bigger Rolls-Royce Kamewa waterjets which have increased the vessel’s bollard pull.”
OTS has also implemented a dedicated marine support division to minimise vessel down time, a key driver in an environment driven by cost reduction. Master P will join the Offshore Turbine Services fleet at the end of May 2014.

Pencil This In: White Russians and Dostoyevsky Discussion, Santaland Diaries Opens
Nicholas Brendon in The Blank Theatre Company Production of The Santaland Diariesby David Sedaris
A Noise Within is hosting White Russians and Discussions tonight following the 8 pm performance of a new adaptation of Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment. The Russian-themed reception features guest speaker Ed Bacon, Rector for All Saints Church in Pasadena, who will discuss the story of Lazarus, and the ways in which its tale of rebirth intersects with the central figure in the play. Tickets: $44.
Previews start tonight for David Sedaris’s The Santaland Diaries at The Blank Theatre Company. The one-man play is based on Sedaris’s experiences as an unemployed writer taking a job as an elf at Macy’s, where he oscillates between humiliation to bitterness. The Blank Theater brings a tale of “mass marketing, stressed out sales clerks, drunk Santas, screaming kids and the general insanity of the holidays is hilarious, witty, sardonic and unpredictable; mercilessly cutting through the Christmas spirit to point out what crazy things we do as human beings during the holidays.“ The play officially opens next week (Nov. 27) and runs through Dec. 20. We just learned that a lot of shows--including tonight’s--are already sold out, so get your tickets fast. $25.
Hint Mint hosts an evening of drinking and drawing with Gary Baseman, who’ll introduce his new tinplate prints, made from his 2006 Limited Edition Artist Series tins. At tonight's "Drinking & Drawing" party--held at the Hint Mint pop-up house in Venice--guests will be given art supplies to sketch a life-sized cast of Baseman characters and live models. There’s an open bar provided by Blue Ice Vodka and Izze Soda. DJ Marcin Nadolny is projecting interactive video art in the yard, and the mint bar will be keeping you fresh all evening. The first 20 guests to arrive will receive a Hint Mint Limited Edition Artist Series tin. The event begins at 6 pm. Free admission, but RSVP (one per person) required. E-mail email@example.com
Sacred Fools Theater Company presents Hamlet Shut Up tonight at 8 pm. Adapted & directed by Jonas Oppenheim, it’s being billed as Hamlet... “without all those pesky words.” What the dialogue-free adaptation lacks in words, it makes up for in slapstick, music, clowning, vaudeville and sharks. The play runs on Fridays and Saturdays and runs through Dec. 19. Tickets are $20.
Reggie Wilson and His Fist & Heel Performance Group premieres The Good Dancetonight and tomorrow at UCLA’s Royce Hall. “Created jointly with Congolese choreographer Andreya Ouamba, The Good Dance-dakar/brooklyn examines the metaphoric, historic, and real-world parallels between the Mississippi and Congo rivers and their respective cultures.” 8 pm. Tickets $24-$48. ($15 UCLA students).

I've seen my fondest hopes decay; I never loved a tree or flower,
But 't was the first to fade away.
The Light of the Harem. Alas ! how light a cause may move Dissension between hearts that love! Hearts that the world in vain had tried, And sorrow but more closely tied; That stood the storm when waves were rough, Yet in a sunny hour fall off, Like ships that have gone down at sea, When heaven was all tranquillity.
All that's bright must fade.
The brightest still the fleetest;
But to be lost when sweetest.
Farewell! But whenever you welcome the hour. You may break, you may shatter the vase,
if But the scent of the roses will hang round it still.
Above the green elms, that a cottage was near,
“ A heart that was humble might hope for it here."
The Blue Stocking.
To weep, yet scarce know why;
Then throw it idly by.
This World is all a Fleeting Show.
For man's illusion given ;
Deceitful shine, deceitful flow
Oft in the Stilly Night.
E’er slumber's chain has bound me,
Of other days around me.
Christmas Hymn. Brightest and best of the sons of the morning! Dawn on our darkness, and lend us thine aid.
First Sunday after Epiphany.
How sweet the lily grows.
* Altered in later editions to
No workman steel, no ponderous axes rung,
The Winter Morning Walk, B. V.
Seventh Sunday after Trinity. When spring unlocks the flowers to paint the laughing
At a Funeral.
No. ii. Thou art gone to the grave! but we will not deplore thee, Though sorrows and darkness encompass the tomb.
On heavenly hope and earthly hope.
But earthly hope, how bright soe'er,
As false and fleeting as ’t is fair.
From India's coral strand,
Roll down their golden sand.
JONATHAN M. SEWALL.
1748 – 1808.
Epilogue to Cato.
No pent up Utica contracts your powers,

Mayor John Fetterman via PopTech via Flickr
There's a Bernie Sanders town hall on MSNBC now. It's taking place in PA. The host just asked Sanders why he hasn't given any support to Braddock Mayor John Fetterman for Senate as Fetterman has been one of the few elected Democratic officials who has endorsed Sanders and they seem like such a natural fit.
Bernie basically disclaimed knowledge of Mayor John ("I honestly don't know John and I've heard just a little bit about him...").*
Nice one, Bernie! Way to get that whole revolution thing going.

The prime minister has been met with criticism across the political spectrum after he unveiled his plans to fix social care.
In a speech to parliament, Boris Johnson announced new plans to increase funding for the social care system and integrate it with healthcare.
Controversially, the main part of the plan will see national insurance rise by 1.25% from April 2022. This rise will eventually be renamed as the health and social care levy in 2023.
The plans had already been criticised by many before the formal announcement as unfairly hitting low paid workers.
Unfairness at heart of Johnson’s social care bodge up. No matter what it’s called increasing National Insurance is a tax rise with heaviest burden falling on working people & failure to level up dividend income tax rates with earned income continues to protect the wealthiest.
— John McDonnell MP (@johnmcdonnellMP) September 7, 2021
Read on...Support us and go ad-free
Welcome to Tory Britain where someone struggling in a low paid job about to lose £20 a week Universal Credit and a nurse using a food-bank will have to pay for social care.
Someone who's wealthy and retired or who earns their living as a landlord won't.
— David Schneider (@davidschneider) September 7, 2021
As of October 2023, the state will cover social care costs in full for people with assets less than £20,000. For those with assets between £20,000 and £100,000 there will be a level of state support on a means-tested basis.
There will be a cap of £86,000 on the amount anyone has to pay for social care in their lifetime.
BREAKING: I understand care plan is as follows…
1. Cap of £86k
2. Floor of £100k
3. 1.25% hike NI
4. Raises £36bn
5. BUT vast majority goes to NHS. Only £5.4bn for care.
6. Of that £5.4bn, £2.5bn funds care cap. Leaves £2.9bn over 3 years for reform. Care leaders furious.
— Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) September 7, 2021
Reaction from carers we are filming with in Wiltshire…
“Yet again we are the secondary service”
“I’m deflated. What was Boris Johnson clapping for?”
At the company we are filming at they’ve had 2 people apply for care jobs in 12 weeks. Will today’s funding really change that?
— Paul Brand (@PaulBrandITV) September 7, 2021
How it’s funded
As well as the increase in national insurance contributions, there will also be a 1.25% increase in dividends tax from April 2022.
Johnson announced that £12bn will be raised over three years from the tax increases that will go the NHS to help catch up on the huge backlog caused by the pandemic. Around £5.4bn will go to social care, though the government has claimed social care will receive more once the NHS backlog is cleared.
Taxes should be raised on the wealth of the super-rich, not the labour of the poor.
— Zarah Sultana MP (@zarahsultana) September 7, 2021
I’m over 66 and so are many of my Parliamentary colleagues. As MPs we earn a very good salary & yet as pensioners we pay no National Insurance contributions.
It is deeply unfair that our generation should benefit from the mooted Tory social care policy & not contribute.
— Margaret Hodge (@margarethodge) September 6, 2021
‘Unfair’ tax increase
Politicians and campaigners have criticised the plans for increasing taxes on the lowest paid workers. Instead, many are calling for a wealth tax to fund social care by taxing the richest.
Furthermore, some health organisations have warned “realism” is needed in interpreting the money social care will get.
Richard Murray, chief executive of The King’s Fund, warned that the cap on care costs will take most of the funding social care receives, while helping “relatively few people” at £86,000.
He added that there may not be enough money left over to address problems with workforce, care quality and access.
The crisis in social care can't be fixed by the Tories unfair proposals.
We need a National Care Service for all, funded by progressive taxation, including a wealth tax.
— Jeremy Corbyn (@jeremycorbyn) September 7, 2021
If we put a 10% tax on the wealth of those with over £100m, we would raise £69 billion.
A Wealth Tax is how we should fund much-needed investment in social care – not a hike in National Insurance contributions that will hit the lowest paid.
— Richard Burgon MP (@RichardBurgon) September 7, 2021
Social care crisis
While the funding plans have been controversial, many have been calling for proposals to help social care.
Charities have been saying the social care system was “decimated by coronavirus“. Age UK recently launched an appeal to campaign for the government to do something to plug the gaps. According to the charity, successive governments have cut social care spending by £86m since 2010.
It also raises local authority service cuts and regional variation in services as huge issues. This has resulted in 1.5m people over 65 living without the support and care they need.
Many disabled people are also living without proper support and struggling with huge costs.
Care workers, on an average of £8.82 phr, are about to be taxed more in order to contribute towards the cost of the care they provide. That the reality of choosing a national insurance rise over wealth taxes.
— Howard Beckett (@BeckettUnite) September 7, 2021
Many people who get their income from wealth will be paying nothing additional after today's announcement
