Is the Tea Party over? Radical social conservatism may have brought it to an end
It’s not just about Obama v Romney. At a state level, a number of significant results spell trouble for the Tea Party movement. Some of its biggest names were decapitated:
Richard Mourdock lost his Indiana race for the Senate. Mourdock was the guy who squeezed out moderate Dick Lugar for the nomination.
Todd Akin lost his Senate race from Missouri. The less said about Akin, the better.
Scott Brown – who was elected to fill Ted Kennedy’s seat at the height of the Tea Party revolution – lost Massachusetts.
Allen West lost his congress seat. An African-American army veteran, West was something of a moral force within the Tea Party.
Michele Bachmann has struggled to keep her congressional seat in Minnesota. She’ll probably pull it off, but only just.
What went wrong? Only two years ago, the Tea Party transformed the political landscape and helped the Republicans capture the House. Bachmann was even a semi-serious candidate for the Republican nomination. But back then the Tea Party was defined by fiscal conservatism. In the last couple of years, it’s become increasingly redefined by radical social conservatism. Mourdock said in a debate that the victim of a rape should keep her baby because it’s “God’s will.” Akin talked about “legitimate rape.” West referred to some liberals as “communists.” Bachmann made her evangelicalism a key part of her presidential campaign. And poor old Scott Brown – who was actually socially liberal – got tarred with the same brush. It’s interesting to note how relatively poorly Romney did with women, which may have coloured the results in local races, too.
Meanwhile, there’s evidence that America’s social attitudes are becoming more tolerant in certain areas. This year is a watershed for gay rights: Maine and Maryland have voted to permit gay marriage. Wisconsin has just elected America’s first openly gay senator – Tammy Baldwin beat moderate Republican Tommy Thompson. Meanwhile, Washington and Colorado voted to legalise cannabis use.
Of course, you can find plenty of evidence of conservative strength elsewhere that challenges this narrative. But there’s no escaping that the Tea Party brand has become more associated with social conservatism at a time when significant portions of the American middle class are becoming a little more secular and a little more liberal (with a spotlight on shifting attitudes towards gay rights). The challenge for the Tea Party is to return to its fiscal roots and try to shake off some of the bad memories of this election year. It’s interesting to note that House candidates supported by Ron Paul – who peddles a less culturally toxic brand of libertarianism – did rather well. Is Paulism the future?

Here is the latest from Egypt. As of Friday, over 82 people have died in renewed clashes between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian government.
CAIRO -- Egypt's capital descended into chaos Friday as vigilantes at neighborhood checkpoints battled Muslim Brotherhood-led protesters denouncing the ouster of President Mohammed Morsi and a deadly crackdown. The fiercest street clashes Cairo has seen in more than two years of turmoil left at least 82 people dead, including 10 policemen.
Earlier in the week when the sit-in protests were squashed, around 700 people were killed prompting an international outcry and the U.S. pulling out from training drills with Egypt and the country's VP resigning.
After removing a dictator, Egypt democratically elected a Muslim fundamentalist with Morsi who then divided the country into two parts, resulting in a heavy-handed coupe by the Egyptian military to install a secular, progressive government at the behest of millions of Egyptians protesting. Interestingly enough, the secular government lashed out with military violence against counter-protests, slaughtering Muslim Brotherhood protesters by the hundreds. No one has clean hands now, with the Muslim Brotherhood galvanizing Muslims in Egypt to begin a civil war against the military and secular/liberal/Christian government.
How can Egypt save itself?

Because we obtained the same assayable

Genes encoding assayable

Absent such a belief, of course, neither the liberatory project in general, nor the university In particular are possible as cultural practices, since in that, event, institutional and political arrangements and practices are never really assayable

Camden – Kershaw County, South Carolina
South Carolina | SC Picture Project | Kershaw County Photos | Camden
Camden is South Carolina’s oldest inland town. It was founded in 1732, after King George II ordered the establishment of a town on the Wateree River.
Its strategic location meant it played an important role in the Revolutionary War, as the British occupied Camden in their effort to subdue the backcountry. Following heavy losses at the Battle of Hobkirk Hill in April 1781, the Redcoats left, burning most of the town.
Today, Camden retains much of its historic charm. Its downtown historic district is home to more than 60 historic buildings. Camden’s Springdale Race Course hosts the Colonial Cup in fall and the Carolina Cup in spring.
The photos in this gallery were taken during SCIWAY’s roadtrip to Camden in October 2008. For a more complete overview, check out the SCIWAY News article: Camden: A Trot Through History.

Business Bhutan’s reporter Dechen Dolkar talks to Nyema Zam, the Founder and CEO of Samuh, which is the first of its kind OTT platform in Bhutan that will provide exclusive Bhutanese video streaming service. Nyema Zam is a media and communications specialist with over 20 years of experience in media, marketing and communication. She is an Australia Awards alumnus with a Masters in Strategic Communication from the University of Western Australia.
Q. Samuh, the first of its kind OTT platform, was launched last week. Samuh is touted as Bhutan’s Netflix equivalent. How did you come up with this idea in the first place?
A. Samuh is an aspiration inspired by His Majesty’s vision for Bhutan. His Majesty has constantly emphasized on the need to embrace technology and innovation to solve our current challenges and to create new opportunities. Globally, the creative and film industries have witnessed tremendous growth through digital innovation and it was about time that we also leveraged digital innovation to transform and develop our film and entertainment industry. The Bhutanese film industry has played a critical role in the preservation of our language, culture and heritage. However, the lack of theatres and distribution system has been one of the major obstacles in reaching its true potential. Samuh is here to provide an alternative platform to deliver entertainment content to the people.
Q. For online streaming business, technology and content are the driving factors. How are you ensuring that both these are in place at Samuh?
A. From the outset we have been very clear that technology and content are key drivers of the streaming business. Over the Top Technology (OTT) has now made it possible for films and content from anywhere in the world to be available in the comfort of our homes. Samuh has adopted the same technology, the latest in streaming user experience, and combined that with a collaborative approach with our local filmmakers and industry professionals to create a platform with high UX and content diversity, catering to a wide range of audience groups.
Q. What kind of security measures have you put in place to address digital piracy, copyright violations and intellectual property theft that seem to be a major challenge for online streaming business?
A. Piracy, copyright violations and IP thefts have been the biggest nemesis of digital content creators and the creative industries the world over. And we are very much aware of this. We have adopted the latest technology to deter and detect piracy and IP thefts. For instance, we use mobile numbers for sign up, this way our login IDs are linked with mobile numbers, which can be traced in case of copyright violation. All our content includes forensic watermarks, which can be traced back to the specific mobile numbers. We also use tokenization, studio DRM technology and have barred screen recording in all our mobile apps. We have a strong non-tolerance policy to piracy and copyright infringement, and will be taking appropriate legal actions in case such incidents occur. However, we are quite positive that due to our cheap and affordable subscription plans people don’t have to resort to pirated content in the first place. If people want to share with family and friends they can get a premium account for just 599 for four users. This means per user the monthly subscription fee is less than Nu 150.
Q. People in 60 countries have currently signed up for Samuh, an impressive figure for a startup that just launched a week back. What does this mean to your business, in terms of prospects, and the impact it could have for local entertainment content?
A. Since our platform went LIVE on 29th June, more than 12,000 people in 60 countries have signed up and are watching Bhutanese content on Samuh. The response has been sensational.
And we hope as we create more exciting content, these numbers will only grow. Samuh believes in a collaborative approach, and in the last six months, we have engaged over 400 people in the creative and film industries in original content creation that have been filmed in different parts of the country. By next year, we hope to engage 1,500 creative professionals.
Films and music as we know transcend borders and language. And with Samuh, we can now truly take Bhutanese local content to a global audience.
Q. What is the total investment of the project?
A. Samuh Project is financed by the Bank of Bhutan through the National Credit Guarantee Scheme (NCGS). The total project cost of Samuh is Nu 65mn, of which NCGS approved Nu 30mn. The project is also supported by venture capital investors and private individuals.

Does Income Mobility Equalize Longer-term Incomes? New Measures of an Old ConceptArticles and Chapters
AbstractThis paper develops a new class of measures of mobility as an equalizer of longer-term incomes – a concept different from other notions such as mobility as time-independence, positional movement, share movement, income flux, and directional income movement. A number of properties are specified leading to a class of indices, one easily-implementable member of which is applied to data for the United States and France. Using this index, income mobility is found to have equalized longer-term earnings among U.S. men in the 1970s but not in the 1980s or 1990s. In France, though, income mobility was equalizing throughout, and it has attained its maximum in the most recent period.

How Does Emotional Intelligence Affect Your DISC Profile?
Let's pretend for a second that you are a sales manager and you're about to hire a new sales rep. You're looking at their DISC profile . . . they're high I.
That's wonderful news. They're just like you. And you're awesome. You're good with people. You have charm, charisma and the gift of the gab.
But here comes the part were you drive that train of thought off the tracks and straight into a brick wall killing all onboard, and you do it the moment you say: "This person is going to be great at sales because all high I's are charming, charismatic, persuasive and great at dealing with people!"
I can't believe you just said that. How could you? After everything we talked about in the DISC Accreditation about how the DISC profile is not a measure of skills — only behavioural tendencies. Remember? Having a natural preference for interacting with people (high I) does not necessarily mean that the person has learned how to be skilled at interacting with people.
Many high I's are good at dealing with people. They can be friendly, sociable, warm and enthusiastic. But others aren't. Some High I's suck. They can be selfish, shallow, disruptive, unruly, impulsive and noisy.
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is important to understand because it forms the basis of social effectiveness and has the power to bring out the best (and worst) traits in our DISC profile.
As the table below illustrates, a person who is highly emotionally intelligent will tend to exhibit more of the strengths commonly associated with that DISC style, whereas as person low in emotional intelligence will tend to exhibit more of the shortcomings.

A proposed federal rule is aimed at limiting carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions from the biggest U.S. sources, federal regulators said Wednesday.
Lisa P. Jackson, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency, said the regulations would apply to power plants and other industrial facilities that emit at least 25,000 tons of greenhouse gases a year, The New York Times reported. She said most of the 14,000 facilities that would be covered are already required to get permits because of other emissions regulated by the Clean Air Act.
The 25,000-ton threshold is far higher than that applying to sulfur dioxide and other pollutants with more immediate health effects. The high threshold protects small businesses and other emitters like apartment buildings.
Jackson said the proposed rule does not place an “undue burden” on business.
“This is a common-sense rule that is carefully tailored to apply to only the largest sources — those from sectors responsible for nearly 70 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions sources,” she said.
Charles T. Drevna, president of the National Petrochemical & Refiners Association, promised a legal challenge, saying the EPA would be exceeding its authority if the rule takes effect.


Every year, World Water Day is a great opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of fresh water and the sustainable management of water resources. This is a valuable, limited resource, which real value is best shown by its essential for life.
22 of March is international World Water Day, so let’s stop for a moment and think about what water really means to us and why we need to take care of it. When we think of water, come to our mind a pleasant beach holiday, the beautiful view of Lake Balaton or the bend of the Danube River that crosses our capital. In addition to the fact that water can have significant aesthetic value, it can also play a major role in people’s recreation, for example relaxation or water sports. However, if we go further and we think about the water from different aspects of our daily lives, we will realize that water is present in the smallest moments of our daily life, from washing our faces after waking up to brushing our teeth before bedtime. So we can easily see the importance of protecting our freshwater resources.
Every year, UNESCO and UN-WATER select the motto of World Water Day, which they focus on. The motto for 2024: Water for prosperity and peace. This year’s motto draws attention to an important thing. Nowadays, which are affected by armed conflicts, pandemics and their economic effects, the competition for water, an essential element for life, can also become a serious struggle. After all water is a resource which is available in finite quantities, in addition access to it is not equally for everyone.
However, the water can be a problem, causing floods that sometimes threaten entire parts of countries. But actually it can also be a big issue if we have no water. In short, the most common problem is too much water or the lack of water. The effects of climate change are increasing the occurrence of these extreme weather events, making them increasingly perceptible. However, by balancing the extremes, we can effectively adapt to the negative effects caused by climate change, in which the actions what we make in our local environment plays a key role. Water retention at individual, municipal and territorial river basin level can also contribute to this, given the paramount importance of the water in the field of climate adaptation.
Finding and maintaining balance can be achieved most effectively by integrating municipal and regional water management, as well as by keeping and utilizing waters in place. Flash floods and droughts harm not only agriculture, but also natural ecosystems and settlements. To avoid this, inland waters and part of the floods should be adequately retained to reduce water scarcity in the future and improve the microclimate.
Individual and social responsibility is utmost important, recognizing our own role and our own potential for action. Let’s work together to protect our common treasure, the fresh water. By applying natural water retention measures, we can improve the quality of habitats, the water storage capacity of the soil and subsurface aquifers, while also improving the status of water and water-dependent ecosystems.

This is part of a series of articles showcasing Sax Institute members, and the diverse range of research that’s informing future health policy and practice.
Accidental falls can have a devastating impact on the elderly and are shockingly common. Now the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI) is using evidence-based research to not only minimise the risk of falls – they’re also working with the Royal Commission into Aged Care to improve care in residential facilities.
Compared with heart disease and dementia, accidental falls might sound less serious, but the grim reality is that falls are the leading cause of injury-related death and hospitalisation in older people. Even in the controlled environment of an aged care facility, roughly 50% of residents will experience one or more falls a year.
It’s an invisible and unpredictable health threat, but according to Dr Frances Batchelor, Director of Clinical Gerontology at NARI, many of these falls are preventable. “We shouldn’t just say that falls are an inevitable part of ageing and that they are all going to happen,” says Dr Batchelor. “Falls don’t happen in isolation from other issues such as nutrition, or even oral care. They’re all interrelated.”
Preventing falls in aged care
NARI is a Sax Institute member, and one of Australia’s leading institutes on ageing. Given the prevalence of falls among older Australians, NARI has made falls prevention and physical activity key research priorities, using evidence-based research to uncover the physiological and behavioural risk factors behind falls, as well as developing prevention strategies.
This expertise led to Dr Batchelor’s recent appearance at the Royal Commission into Aged Care, where the Commission heard that residential aged care lags in its approach to exercise for residents.
“Research has shown that strength and balance training for two hours a week over 25 weeks – for a total of 50 hours – is effective at reducing falls in the community,” says Dr Batchelor. “But without the equivalent research specifically in aged care, it is not as clear whether that recommendation also applies equally to residents.”
NARI told the Commission that there is an urgent need for more high-quality research to learn how to effectively prevent falls in residential care, especially for people living with dementia.
“From our perspective, we hope that the Royal Commission will ensure that the sector offers the quality of life and quality of care that all older Australians deserve, and whatever we can do to help that happen, we will,” says Dr Batchelor. “However, until findings from new research become available, the sector needs to be proactive and come up with comprehensive falls risk assessments and management plans.”
NARI believes these changes should include increasing the number of staff involved in direct resident care; increasing falls prevention training for all staff; improving how data is collected; and implementing person-centred care.
“If we can support staff to offer truly person-centred assessment and care, then I think that will go a long way to prevent falls,” adds Dr Batchelor.
As the Commission continues to roll on, NARI’s research into falls prevention will continue to have a powerful impact on health service providers, governments and the aged care industry, ultimately supporting changes that can give older Australians healthier and fuller lives.
The Sax Institute’s unique organisational structure, with 55 members from public health and health services research groups and their universities, connects us with a powerful public health network and world‑leading research expertise.

Gold’s first-rate gains on Thursday took per week that changed into headed for a decrease near, to last fractionally higher for the week. Gold traded to a low of $1269, that is bucks above the double bottom which passed off in April. It additionally traded to an excessive at precisely $1287 that’s a Fibonacci retracement of .38%. This retracement level is made out of the lows of October 2018 at $1185, to the yearly excessive of $1350 which came about in February. The 38% retracement level has indicated a resistance location, with the 50% retracement level really defining aid. The weekly low visibly reinforced that stage.
On Tuesday is while the weekly low become created and at that point a clear pattern could be recognized. That sample turned into a descending triangle. Wednesday became an inner trading day which nonetheless regarded because it had a respectable opportunity that a break underneath $1267 might arise. During that time period we had seen gold fall from $1302, a described lower excessive than the previous high of $1314 which happened inside the middle of April.
As we identified the descending triangle pattern, we definitely stated that a rally from this factor might require an absolute exchange in one or extra of the fundamental factors which had without a doubt prompted the economic markets. The basics that we spoke about had been the modern exchange conflict, the capacity war in Iran and Brexit.
On Thursday there was a renewed issue at the change warfare, as rhetoric on both aspects heightened the actual possibility that this dispute has deepened and the timeline needed to clear up this difficulty had prolonged. Retaliation for current moves by way of the management such as raising tariffs from 10% to 25%, and this week’s blacklisting of Huawei, resulted within the Chinese digging in deeper. Their outdoor look through statements by authorities officers indicated that they will no longer meet with Trump at the G20 assembly.
The South China Post become filled with their reaction. Chinese country researcher said, “Given the cutting-edge conditions, what can in reality pop out of the G20?” said Zhang Yansheng, the leader researcher on the country-backed China Centre for International Economic Exchanges assume tank. It is pretty possible that the statements are without a doubt an try to shop face, and extremely important issue of any a hit negotiation with China.
The Xinhua News Agency (the legit country-run press company of the People’s Republic) said that, “The People’s Republic [of China] has been status tall within the East for the closing 70 years, it has by no means decreased its head and it has in no way feared anyone,” Xinhua stated. “History will show once more that bullying and threats by means of the US will not paintings.” Although the statement simply indicated that China is digging in deeper and could not break because of threats, however their economic depression which has been created through this management with heightened price lists has extraordinarily harm their economic system and the statements is probably false ideals in that they need to make a deal extraordinarily soon to forestall the bleeding created with the aid of this trade struggle.
Today gold reacted in a tepid manner whilst in comparison to the day past’s decent benefit. Although it closed better on the day its whole range became at the higher end of the day past’s range. The inventory market showed clear but modest gains indicating that yesterday’s problem turned into not as threatening as first conceived.
However, subsequent week will indicate whether marketplace members believe that the present day negotiations have long gone south and resolutions are further away when in comparison to earlier beliefs. Gold needs to break above cutting-edge resistance at $1287, its contemporary near these days become at $1284 30. More importantly we need to peer gold change above the modern-day resistance trendline, simply above $1293 before technicians will indicate a solid rally has begun.

Davis hopes cooperation blooms for president, Congress
The U.S. House passing of a massive federal spending bill Thursday night that would fund most of the U.S. government until next October has U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis optimistic about bipartisanship.
Davis, R-Taylorville, stopped in Decatur on Friday afternoon, just hours after Republicans and Democrats came together to narrowly pass the spending bill, 219-206, three hours before a midnight deadline that would have threatened a federal shutdown.
The bill, which had 30 Democrats join Republicans in support, awaits passage in the Senate before it can be sent to President Barack Obama, who has expressed support for the plan.
“Hopefully, it's a start that this president is willing to work with us, not only the Republicans, but members of his own party,” he said. “I think you'll see the president have to make more choices as we send more bills his way.”
It caps off what has been a good year for Davis and his party, which will head into the next year with a majority in each chamber of Congress.
Aside from his party success, Davis will also start the new year as chairman of the Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture, and Research. The subcommittee, a section of the Committee on Agriculture, oversees topics as varied as organic agriculture, foreign agriculture assistance and a dwindling bee population.

*This dining experience took place in June 2014.
Hear ye, Hear ye! Columbia Harbour House is one of my top go-to quick service locations on Disney property. With it’s special diets menus and nice variety of options, including healthful ones, Columbia Harbour House makes for a great spot in the Magic Kingdom to grab a meal.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a review, mostly because I tend to order just the allergy chicken tenders here. However, on this most recent visit, I split a couple of entrees with family and ordered a new dish.
On this particular occasion, we stopped by for a late lunch right before the typical Florida summer afternoon thundershowers hit. It was a great thing we did because we avoided the massive storm and got into the restaurant, ordered and were seated before the floods of guests came through (which always happens during rain).
When I approached the cast member at the cash register, I let them know that I have special dietary needs. What’s nice about Columbia Harbour House is that they give you a special diets menu before the manager comes out to meet you. This is so very handy because it gives you a sense of what you might or might not be able to order. Of course, the manager always has the allergy/ingredients binder on hand to refer to as well, especially if your special dietary need is not covered on the menu.
I decided to get my standby allergy chicken tenders and fries along with the Garden Harvest Salad with chicken and Zinfandel dressing. It was a hot day out, so the salad seemed like a great idea to split. It looks to me like the salad doesn’t need really any modifications as is straight off the menu, so it’s nice they have a naturally gluten free and dairy free option at the restaurant.
I have said it before, and I will say it again. Columbia Harbour House sure knows how to fry food! They have the hands down best fried allergy chicken tenders on property. They always come out so crispy and delicious. I can’t say a bad thing about the tenders and fries. They are delicious!
As far as salads go, everyone who tried this thought it was just so-so. Not a terrible salad but not great either. The accompaniments were a little weird. It was lettuce, lots of carrots (as you can see), steamed green beans, raw red bell peppers and grilled chicken. The salad dressing, while good, was given to us in a very small portion, so next time I would ask for more. The salad was certainly fresh, but I will probably skip this and stick to my chicken tenders from now on. Or get a salad from someplace like Hollywood Brown Derby for their famous (and delicious) Cobb salad. I’m a big fan of it, and I know Alexis from Gluten Free in Orlando enjoys it as well!
Overall, I think the allergy chicken tenders will continue to be my go-to meal at Columbia Harbour House. I’m curious to try the grilled salmon with steamed broccoli sometime for something different. I give this particular experience a 7.5 out of 10.
Have you been to Columbia Harbour House? Are you as big of a fan of the allergy chicken tenders as I am?

The world’s growing population and increasingly limited resources have created a great challenge to our current agricultural systems, conventional and organic. Yet new research and innovation projects show that cities around the world can certainly be part of the solution.
Whether we like it or not, most of us are strongly bound to the agricultural sector, and we feel the responsibility to make the right choice from an environmental perspective. Nevertheless, it can be confusing standing in the supermarket in front of a sea of products, and consumers immediately go for the “greener choice,” that being local or organic. We’ve gotten better at knowing where our food comes from – but can we claim the same for the environmental impact of our food choices? Read the full article on Triple Pundit.

Asos hits High Street woes. Thank Amazon...
IT'S A Christmas tradition, like hanging out your stocking or eating your sprouts or complaining about the moral decline represented by chocolate Advent calendars, writes John Stepek at MoneyWeek.
Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without a "high-street bloodbath" story on the front page.
But it seems that, courtesy of online retailer Asos, Christmas has come a week early for headline writers this year.
Though not for its shareholders.
Online clothes shop Asos is the stock that got away for many of us. It's the Aim stock that everyone dreams of finding.
It went public in 2001 at around 24p a share. You could have bought it for about 3p at its low point in 2003 following the tech bust.
If you'd bought then, and managed to hold on, you'd have made life-changing sums matched only by the likes of bitcoin. Even now, after yesterday's profit warning, £1,000 invested back then in Asos would now be worth around £867,000.
Of course, the chances of having actually hung on to that gain without panic-selling at some point are minuscule. In fact, I'd be willing to bet that no individual investor actually did it.
And what's far more likely today is that a lot of investors are shaking their heads and looking at their portfolios, having made a big loss on their Asos holdings.
Last Monday the company issued a profits warning, and the share price tumbled by a spectacular 37.6%.
Now, Asos is not a stock to own if you like a low-stress existence. For a start, it's never been a cheap stock, and as such, it tends to fall hard if it disappoints investors. And it has frequently done so.
In 2012, a key warehouse suffered in a nearby explosion, destroying millions of pounds worth of stock just before Christmas. In March 2014, it issued a hefty profit warning – which saw the company lose about a third of its value in all – and in June that year, a fire broke out at its main warehouse.
So long-term investors may be used to a rollercoaster ride. But to lose nearly 40% of your investment in a day? That hurts.
So what happened? The company had been expecting full-year growth of 20-25%, with operating margins of 4%. Instead, growth is likely to be 15%, and worse, margins have been halved to 2%. In short, customers spent less.
"Average basket value is down 6%. Those are trends I've not seen for the best part of nine years", chief executive Nick Beighton told analysts.
What's proved particularly unnerving for the market is that this has only become clear in the past month. In October, Asos seemed happy enough with its trading.
And it's not the first retail player to hint at trouble. Sports Direct has already warned that trading in November was "unbelievably bad". Primark, Superdry and Bonmarche are among others who have come out with gloomy views. And Germany rival Zalando warned earlier in the year.
What's this all about? You could blame Brexit – it's a marvellous excuse – but it's impacted on Europe too.
You could blame the housing market, and that might be a factor. It's becoming very clear that UK house prices are no longer going up by much, if at all. After years of soaring prices, British households now feel uncomfortable when their house isn't earning more each year than they are. If the household's main breadwinner isn't pulling its weight anymore, then no wonder people are cutting back.
Yet while you can talk about weak consumer confidence, note that unemployment is at a record low and wages are improving. And stalling house prices are not something that just happened in November. So even if no one feels very cheery, the fundamentals are no worse than they were just a few months ago.
My suspicions point to one particular tradition which overseas retailers have foolishly imported from the States – Black Friday.
Black Friday makes sense in America – it's effectively Boxing Day, but for Thanksgiving. So they've been doing it for ages, and both retailers and consumers are used to it.
But elsewhere in the world, shops and their customers are only just adapting to it. And I think that's pretty confusing for all involved. If you bring the traditional Boxing Day sales forward to November, then I suspect you deflate buying appetite both in the early part of November, and in the run-up to Christmas.
A small example – I recently had to buy a new laptop for the Stepek household. I was going to do it at the start of November, and then realised it was "Black Friday" in a few weeks. So I delayed the purchase and bought it from the cheapest provider during the sale.
Here's the truth – the craftiest move that Amazon ever made was to convince the rest of the retail world to take part in a festive sale without the festivity to go along with it.
Why is Christmas traditionally a good time of year for retailers? Because people want to buy nice shiny new gifts for one another. That means it is the best opportunity to sell stuff at full price, because the purchase is time-sensitive.
Want to destroy your profitability? Get involved in a heavy-discounting bunfight slap-bang ahead of what's meant to be your busiest time of the year. Swap that period of profitable panic-buying in mid-December for a tightly-planned campaign of bargain-hunting at the end of November.
I suspect that this is what has really happened to Asos, even although it only warrants a passing mention – perhaps because that would highlight the reality, which is that its management handled Black Friday badly.
What does this mean for you as an investor? I only own one high-street retailer directly – Next (LSE: NXT). The company took a hit alongside the rest of the retail sector. But it pays a decent dividend, and trades on a low price/earnings ratio. And most importantly, it's well managed.
Retail is a fickle sector – hit by consumer mood swings, hot and cold weather, and industry upheaval. The only way to hedge against that at all is to have some faith in the ability of the people in charge to cope with change.
I'm going to be looking to top up before Boxing Day.

Having Lionel Messi on the court cost Paris Saint-Germain dearly. And it is that this Sunday, in the tie of the Parisian cast against Olympique de Marseille, a French fan invaded the pitch to embrace the Argentine star, but it did not go as expected.
While the 72nd minute of the match was being played at the Velodrome Stadium, a spontaneous jumped from the rostrum and outnumbered the defenders led by Jorge Sampaoli, stopping a counterattack led by Lionel Messi. The action of the fan did not amuse Messi, who was visibly annoyed by the controversial intervention, like his teammates who looked on impassively.
It should be noted that the hatred between Olympique de Marseille and Paris Saint Germain is one of the greatest in the world. In fact, they did not even let the Parisians go to the stadium of the team directed by Jorge Sampaoli, given the rivalry that exists between both clubs. What never ceases to surprise is that one of them admires an eternal rival at that level, and stands in front of the 67,000 spectators, without thinking about the possible consequences.
The game itself was fought more than it was played. He ended up equal to 0 to 0, although it is worth noting that there were two goals that were canceled by the VAR. In addition, Achraf Hakimi was expelled, so Mauricio Pochettino's men ended up holding the result, which by the way was convenient for them. However, the draw was fair and it suits both teams well.

Jared Bernstein, a member of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Joe Biden, on Monday claimed that the White House has successfully led the charge against inflation and cut the budget deficit.
Price levels between August 2021 and August 2022 rose 8.3%, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Bernstein argued during an interview with Fox Business that the administration has recently seen progress in its attempts to quell rising prices and reduce the deficit.
“One issue is, is the government stepping on the fiscal accelerator? That is, is government fiscal policy contributing to inflation, say, this year? And the answer, based on over $1 trillion of deficit reduction, is no,” Bernstein told Fox Business host Martha MacCallum. “That doesn’t negate the point that inflation

A thriller as well as a puzzler set in a foggy estate in Wales. This mystery opens as a stranger walks away from his ditched car toward a country manor to find a man murdered and his wife standing over him with a gun. But the woman is dazed and her confession unconvincing. The unexpected guest decides to help her and blame the murder on an intruder. Later, a pandora’s box of loves and hates, suspicions and intrigues is opened to the night air.
Oh wow! I know I always say that Agatha Christie is a legend and all that, but how could anyone not be a fan after reading “The Unexpected Guest”? The story is brilliant (as usual) and Ms. Christie keeps you guessing who the culprit is up to the very last minute. The story was originally written and performed as a play, but some years later it was adapted into a novel by another author, Charles Osborne. I don’t even mind that the story was adapted by someone else. Agatha’s brilliance still shines through, from beginning to end.
Most of her books seem to involve either Miss Marple or Monsieur Poirot, but this one doesn’t! Now THAT was unexpected! I don’t usually read the summary of Agatha Christie’s books before reading them. I like to keep it a surprise 🙂 And this definitely was a surprise!
The story involves love, family ties, grief, mental illness, and a lot of manipulation.
If you feel like going for a quick, easy-read, involving mystery and plot twists then “The Unexpected Guest” is the book for you.

In more recent years, hallucinogenic and dissociative drugs have been used for more mundane purposes - social or recreational use just for "fun." People also use hallucinogens to deal with stress, or to try to achieve what they believe is an enlightened state of mind.
Although presently not approved for such use, some hallucinogenic drugs have been scientifically tested to see if they might have therapeutic effects on patients suffering from conditions related to perceptual distortions, such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and dementia.

The Waffle Shop (Talk Show)
Pittsburgh, PA 2009-2013
Created in a storefront on a street corner in Pittsburgh, The Waffle Shop was a functioning restaurant that produced and broadcast a live-streaming talk show with its customers during all operating hours. The project hybridized many social identities as it simultaneously functioned as a restaurant, talk show, business venture, public artwork, and classroom.
The Waffle Shop took the storytelling vernacular of a talk show and used it as a catalyst for complete strangers to experiment with their public identities through unscripted performance. The restaurant lured in a stream of people who offered an ongoing and uncontrollable variable to the mix as they took on roles of audience members, customer/funders, and participants.
The Waffle Shop was supported by the School of Art at Carnegie Mellon University, The Center for the Arts In Society, East Liberty Development Inc, Sota Construction, and the sale of food.

This was a real unexpected find for us, but we are so thankful we stumbled upon it!
It was a pretty typical Sunday morning for us. We go to an early church service in Lexington, so we are usually driving around town looking for something new and exciting for lunch, but are not really even that hungry yet. Sometimes we will hit Walmart or a grocery to kill time till “lunchtime”… but last week we decided instead to enjoy the pretty day and just drive. We drove from Lexington, down 378 all the way into West Columbia and were honestly headed toward downtown, hoping to find something to eat, when we passed by the sign for Ms. B’s Southern Kitchen.
The building was nothing special and we probably would have passed right by it, except for the sign, which has an image of an old mason jar on it, that caught our eye. Then we saw the term “southern kitchen” and really became intrigued. Being from Alabama, and living in the heart of Columbia, we LOVE real, honest-to-goodness southern food. There are a lot of restaurants around town that claim to be authentic but just serve meat and canned vegetables so they can call it southern, so we were skeptical. But then we saw the bottom of the sign where it said “the way it used to be”. My wife and I both grew up with down-home southern grandmothers (and aunts, and cousins, and friends) who knew their way around a kitchen so we know exactly what that phrase SHOULD mean, so we decided we at least had to try it out to see if they really meant it.
First thing we noticed when we came in was that the place was HUGE! Like the outside of the building, there was not a lot about the decor inside that made you think this was going to be the best food ever.
*(it used was previously the longtime home of the Sunset Restaurant, as you can see from the still lingering impression on the roof shingles…)
Several large dining rooms with lots of old tables and booths. (I say old tables, because the tables had ads printed directly on them. I sat down right where a large ad for a Pager company was printed… offering the latest in Motorola Pager technology and service!) It was fun though reading through the fun old ads while you ate, as well as enjoying their wonderful mix of 70s classics overhead. We got to introduce our kids to several new bands they were not familiar with in the process. like ABBA, The Commodores, and The Fortunes.
When we arrived (before noon on Sunday morning) it was not crowded at all, so we were a little bit concerned that this could just be a cool sign, hung on an old, mediocre restaurant. We were immediately greeted by a friendly, energetic host who told us about the food, specials, how to order (large chalkboard menu behind the counter) if we wanted or how to get the buffet. We looked at the wall a while and checked out the buffet (which looked great) but being that we were still not that hungry, we decided to order off the wall/menu.
The Fried chicken was delicious. Tender, juicy and flavorful, but without being greasy. The Fried catfish was a little under seasoned compared to all the other food but was fresh, and tasted great. Fried chicken sandwich and seasoned fries were big hits with both my kids. As good as the meats were, the sides were really the stars of the meal. Collards are very popular around South Carolina, so we had high expectations. These were easily some of the best (if not the very best) collard greens we have eaten. Tender sweet and seasoned perfectly. I added a bit of pepper sauce to mine out of habit before tasting them and it did not really even need it. My wife said hers were perfect as they came out, not needing one bit of salt or pepper or anything. I got the baked potato casserole which is exactly what it sounds like… potato, cheese, bacon and more baked and mixed together. Simple, but tasted amazing. The sweet potato casserole my wife got was different but tasty. We had never had one like it before with hints of orange in it, and loaded with raisins. Very sweet and seemed almost more of a dessert, than a vegetable. The cornbread was not at all what we were used to either, but was really good. Just a touch of sweetness and a very smooth, almost cupcake like consistency, different than the grainier cornmeal consistency of most cornbread, made it also seem like a sweet treat to go with the meal rather than just a corn muffin on the side. And of course the drinks were served in their signature mason jars (pulling the picture on the sign into the meal nicely)
We will definitely go back, and have already started telling our local friends about it. But we will do things differently next time. While it worked well for us to get meals off the menu (which you can see here: MENU) since we were not that hungry, next time we will for sure get the buffet. Normally we do not go in for the all-you-can-eat buffet concept, but there are so many different meats and veggies alone that we want to try from their menu that we need the buffet, simply so that we can try a little of everything. Plus, the buffet comes with a salad bar and desert bar as well if you do not commit like I will to fill up on the delectable southern cuisine!
In a short conversation with the manager as we left, I found out that Ms. B’s has been there about 2 years, and is owned by the same folks who own Doc’s BBQ and also Pawley’s Front Porch, which is one of our FAVORITE local restaurants, so it was no surprise that the food was great! Oh, and a to the lack of a crowd in the huge restaurant when we arrived early on that Sunday morning… by the time we were done, the rooms were filled with hungry customers and the line was forming at the door to get in, with people who obviously had been there before and knew well what they would be getting! It is a little cheaper for lunch during the week than on Sunday or at dinner (which is only on Thursday and Friday nights) but worth it no matter when you come. But alas, they are closed on Saturday.

The MPAA rejects posters on a semi-regular basis — it happened this year with the original one-sheets for Hostel Part II and Captivity — so Taxi‘s rejection, in and of itself, isn’t surprising. Not surprising, that is, until you look at the poster, which depicts two soldiers walking a hooded prisoner away from the camera. That’s it — no gore, no dismembered flesh, no bloody dental instruments. Just a guy in a hood.
It’s the hood, as you might have already guessed, that the MPAA has problems with; last year, the Association rejected the artwork for The Road to Guantanamo, which depicted a hooded prisoner hanging by his wrists. According to Variety, Roadside Attractions’ co-president, Howard Cohen, said the studio was told “the burlap bag over the prisoner’s head depicted torture, which was not appropriate for children to see.” This is reinforced by the MPAA’s statement regarding Taxi to the Dark Side, which follows:
“We treat all films the same. Ads will be seen by all audiences, including children. If the advertising is not suitable for all audiences it will not be approved by the advertising administration.”
Gibney is predictably peeved:
“Not permitting us to use an image of a hooded man that comes from a documentary photograph is censorship, pure and simple. Intentional or not, the MPAA’s disapproval of the poster is a political act, undermining legitimate criticism of the Bush administration. I agree that the image is offensive; it’s also real.”
The image in the poster is real — sort of. It’s actually a combination of two photos; one, taken by Corbis’ Shaun Schwarz, depicted the prisoner with one soldier, while the second soldier was added in later. The Schwarz photo has its own interesting story, also involving censorship. From Variety:
Ironically, the original Schwarz photo was censored by the military, which erased his camera’s memory. The photographer eventually retrieved the image from his hard drive.
ThinkFilm has announced plans to appeal the MPAA’s ruling, although the studio’s distribution president, Mark Urman, says the company “doesn’t know what that entails.”

On 19th August, Srila Prabhupada’s Vyasa Puja, Mr LK Advani who has served as the Deputy Prime Minister, Home (Internal) Minister and Leader of Opposition party in the Parliament visited ISKCON Delhi. Below is the transcript of his speech:
I was told that even though today is not Janmastami, yet for this temple it is a very important day, as today is birthday of ISKCON’s Founder Prabhupada ji. Therefore, I’ve come here today.
I have had the darshan of all you devotees of Krishna and through you, all the devotees worldwide.
I believe that me and my family, who are being represented here by my daughter Pratibha, are very fortunate to have the darshan of Swami Prabhupada and offer our respect on to his feet on this day of Janmastami. We also offer our respects on to the feet of all the devotees present here.
I consider myself fortunate and believe that Krishna’s message would reach every house in the world and by Krishna’s message I mean Bhagavad Gita’s message.
Some time ago, a movie producer visited me in my house, he producing a movie on the universal form of Lord Krishna which he had showed Arjuna. So when he came to my house, I showed him a Deity of Krishna which was gifted to me by an artist in Karnataka.
This deity was unique as it not only showed the universal form, but also Vyasadeva dictating to Ganesh, Dushasan trying to disrobe Draupadi, Bhismadeva resting on a bed of arrows instructing the Pandavas and also Dasavatar. All these pastimes are shown in one scene. I remembered these little incidents.
As I stand here before Prabhupada, I would like to share that I wholeheartedly thank the managers of this temple who kindly gave me such a beautiful and auspicious occasion to visit. I consider myself and my family to be very fortunate.

- The process of glass fiber generally includes: Purchase raw materials, mix according to the formula, and then transferred to the glass furnace for melting and refining, after operation channel flow to the bushing, the sizing agent after coating by wire drawing machine traction, then form the original cake, and then flow to the rear section reprocessing procedures (usually a short cut, winding, weaving, puffing and twisting) or sell (direct yarn)
- There are acidulous groups on the surface of the glass fiber, but it is difficult to bund, so after chopping, it is easily pilling, which will affect the surface tension.
- Q:Is glass fiber reinforced plastics industry a polluting industry?
- Does not belong to, glass fiber is environmentally friendly material.
- 3) hand paste resin with low molecular weight; 2) glass fiber content can not be too high, carbon fiber, woven roving (cloth) etc.. Although the thick aramid fabric is difficult to be soaked with resin manually. (2) The raw material is unsaturated polyester resin; 2) It can be formed at room temperature. Operate the layer repeatly for several times. (3) the advantage 1) It is suitable for the production of a small amount of solvent. The mechanics and thermal properties are limited because of the high techinicals.
- It is mainly made by polyacrylonitrile and asphalt spinning, surface treatment and sizing process. The disparity in the domestic low-level product is small, carbonization (followed by graphite). The disparity between domestic and foreign is very large, and then by pre oxidation, but the high-end product(both high performance) can not do it, because it is too difficult.
- Along the fiber axis, it present very high strength; therefore the specific strength of CFRP material intensity and density can be achieved above 2000 MPa; high performance carbon fiber which made from polyacrylonitrile fiber precursors have tensile modulus about 200 to 700GPa. Some studies have pointed out that young's modulus (refers to the physical quantity that is characterized by the tensile or compressive strength of the material within the elastic limit) is 2 times more than that of the glass fiber. High purity and high temperature carbonization were used to prepare high performance PAN based carbon fiber, which gave the fiber chemical activity, viscose based carbon fiber. Carbon fiber's manufacturing progress includs fiber spinning. Comparing with aluminum and other metal materials, it is 7 to 9 times of strength of steel. In the early stage of aerospace grade carbon fiber, 3K is the main category, then the fiber is further produced by crosslinking, with its elongation rate greater than 2%. The equipment is complex, and it is destroyed. As it contains a large number of variables, like oxidation and oxygen, but the first two kinds of carbon fiber is mainly produced. The graphite is generally in the 2500 to 3000℃.
- According to its characteristics, it is a very wide range of industrial raw materials. The price of basalt fiber is quite high, which is different from the basalt used for road repairing.
- It is used for high quality asbestos tiles and glass fiber reinforced cement.
- Q:Plastic fiber content in how to detect, there are no professional instruments?
- One simple way to do this is to burn at high temperatures, and the rest is basically fiberglass, which is calculated according to the mass ratio before and after.

Alec Catherwood, a 2009 graduate of Byron High School, was a Marine on his first combat deployment when he was killed Oct. 14, 2010, by enemy small-arms fire in Helmand province, Afghanistan.
He was the son of Kirk and Gretchen Catherwood of Byron, who have since moved to Paris, Tennessee. After purchasing land there, Alec’s parents decided they wanted to do more for combat veterans from all service branches, from any war. They came up with the idea to build a retreat for veterans and their families. It will be called Darkhorse Lodge, a nonprofit organization. Once completed, there will be five, five-bedroom guest cabins, each room named for one of the 25 men lost from the Marine Corps during 2010-11. Veterans will be able to relax, fish on Kentucky Lake and communicate with others who have walked in their boots.
"The Darkhorse Lodge is for all veterans from the United States," Gretchen said. "It will be free. It’s all about helping the veterans and their families. Veterans need a place to go, to be together. They need to be able to relate to each other, so my husband and I came up with the idea."
When Amber Holder of Mount Morris heard about Darkhorse Lodge she knew she wanted to help. Her husband, Tyler, was Alec's friend in high school. Holder, along with Annette Yount, held a fundraiser in September to raise funds for the lodge.
Now the two want to help raise more money. Yount has put a pair of Brad Paisley concert tickets for Feb. 5, at the NIU Convocation Center in DeKalb, up for auction. The current high bid is at $700, bid by Army Spc. Justyn Boyenga of Dixon, who is currently deployed.
The approximate cost for land and to build the retreat is $1,000,000. Gretchen said she is humbled by the efforts by the two women.
"We are doing this to make sure all veterans are not forgotten," Yount said. "What the Catherwood family is trying to do is to help all veterans have a place to go that is peaceful, a place that will help them get back to a normal life."
Bids on the tickets for the Brad Paisley concert can be made on Facebook at facebook.com/darkhorsefundraiserauction. For those wishing to bid on these tickets that do not have a Facebook account, they can contact Amber Holder at 815-973-2717 or Annette Yount at 815-734-4970. Those bids will be posted to the Facebook page by one of the two administrators. Bids must be submitted no later than midnight Saturday to allow for collection of funds and ticket distribution before the concert date. The tickets are for seats located on the floor in Section 1, Row B, seats 3 & 4.

Steroids used in rheumatoid arthritis RA
Certain corticosteroids may only be effective if administered directly to local tissues at the appropriate dosage. Dianabol is one of the greatest anabolic steroids for bulking and can be safe for beginners to use in pill form. Being a powerful anabolic steroid, it will help you build muscle fast, but it has some side effects due to its potency.
They do this by treating inflammation in your airways (this is when your airways are swollen and narrow). This can result in a condition known as testosterone–induced polycythaemia or “sludging”. This causes the blood to become thicker which can in some people trigger life threatening blood clots to form in the bloodstream.
The most prevalent sorts of unpleasant side effects include physical, mental, emotional, and social. Some of the mental side effects are anxiety, irritability, and restlessness. Each individual’s thinking determines the societal repercussions.
- So, because of this, steroids are mostly given for a limited time and stopped before the side-effects can appear.
- Not to mention the fun emotional damage that comes along with the previously mentioned side effects which on its own is probably worth the cost of a PCT.
- These steroids are variations of the male sex hormone testosterone, first created by pharmaceutical companies in the 1950s and therefore not the same as steroids taken in RA.
- Blood clots can develop in the deep veins of your body, usually the leg.
And, since a steroid cycle will boost your energy and boost your metabolism, you will see an immediate increase in lean muscle. It allows you to maximize your muscle gains and go off without worrying about causing any harm to your blood pressure. It is likely that using corticosteroids, whether for a long or short period of time, could result in unpleasant side effects, some of which will be severe. Corticosteroids should only be administered if no other therapy options for the condition being treated are available.
Indigestion or heartburn
Up to 1 out of every 5 pregnancies ends in a miscarriage, and 1 in 40 babies are born with a birth defect. Although early animal studies suggested that corticosteroid exposure in the womb may cause cleft lip and palate, the majority of human studies do not support this finding. While this is reassuring, no studies have accurately investigated outcomes in pregnant women only using potent corticosteroids and further research is therefore required.
HCG helps reverse the negative-feedback loops that the body uses to shut down its own testosterone production whilst cycling anabolics. HCG has been proven to restore testicular size as well as normal testosterone production by mimicking LH and triggering the production and release of testosterone. However, using it for too long can turn off your body’s natural process to make LH forever.

Steroids can hide or change the signs and symptoms of some infections. They might also make it harder for your body to deal with an infection. This means infections are more difficult to diagnose at an early stage.
Steroid tablets that are taken for a short period of time are unlikely to cause side effects. There’s no evidence to suggest that using a steroid inhaler during pregnancy increases the risk of problems like birth defects. You can usually continue to use this as normal while you’re pregnant.
