Theories of Power

This section provides some historically specific discussions of power in the United States at the national and local levels. You may also be interested in the Studying Power section of this site, which covers methodological issues.

The Four Networks Theory of Power

Power is based in ideological, economic, military and political networks -- Michael Mann's "IEMP model." It's my preferred approach, leading to a class-domination theory when applied to the United States.

Alternative Theories

The main rivals to the Four Network theory: pluralism, state autonomy theory, elite theory, and Marxism.

Conspiracy Theories

I contrast the untenable psychological assumptions of conspiracy theories, which lead them to be wrong on the key issues, with the more solidly grounded sociological assumptions that are used by social scientists who study power.

C. Wright Mills, Floyd Hunter, and a Half-Century of Power Structure Research

Some historical background on power structure research; a detailed critique of pluralism; and a critique of structural Marxists.

Mills's The Power Elite, 50 Years Later

This is my take on how Mills's classic book, The Power Elite, looked 50 years after its publication in 2006. It reads better than ever with respect to the higher levels of the social ladder, but not very well concerning the rest of the society and how events would unfold. Mills' theory was too narrow to allow for the possibility of the Civil Rights Movement and the other social movements of the 1960s.

C. Wright Mills, Power Structure Research, and the Failures of Mainstream Political Science

This document differs from the more sociologically-oriented article about C. Wright Mills & Floyd Hunter by focusing on the several weaknesses in studies of power by political scientists.

Rats and Mice Oh My!

  Rats & mice enter Florida homes and warehouses searching for food. They contaminate
10 times as much food as they eat, with urine ,feces & hair spreading diseases and bacterial food poisoning.
  In Florida, Norway rats are common along canals and the coast.  They also can be found
where garbage is  not properly stored. They can survive on decayed food found in the trash.
  Norway rats often dig under buildings, concrete slabs and in rubbish.  When they burrow they can create problems for the foundations of buildings, sewer lines and destroy landscape. Norway rats live about 1 year but reach maturity at 3-5 months.  They can have 8-12 young per litter and up to 7 litter in 1 year!
  Roof rats thrive in roof spaces, attics, palm trees and shrubs. If they get into your attic they could possibly create a fire by chewing on electrical wires.  Roof rats live up to 1 year and can have up to 6 litters in one year!
  Skilled pest professionals will know rat behavior, recognize the signs of activity, sanitation and exclusion techniques.
A job best left to the professionals.

Rodent Control

Rats  are not only destructive to property but are associated with several human diseases.
Salmonellosis is a intestinal disorder that occurs from food being contaminated by rat urine or feces.
Murin Typhus, Leptospirosis, Listeriosis,and Trichinosis are other rat -transmitted diseases.
They can enter into a homes and building through holes as small as one inch. They may get in through broken windows, foundation vents,openings through walls for passage of electric, gas & water.
Once inside rats can chew through your electrical wires and build nests with the insulation.
It takes special skills and knowledge to manage rodents to ensure successful rodent control.
Modifying the inside & outsideof the property, sealing and blocking holes and sanitation are just some
integrated pest management techniques used for successful rodent managments.

Party Favor & Dillon Francis - "Shut It Down"

The nerds are back in town for a very interesting visual concept for Party Favor and Dillon Francis’ music video for their single “Shut It Down”. Wynn Resident Francis, along with Party Favor, take on an office nerd persona in a music video that’s highly reminiscent of the movie Office Space.

The comedic angle isn’t a new venture for Dillon since he is quite often seen partaking in hilarious scenarios throughout his social channels.

Check out the “Shut It Down” music video on YouTube and get tickets to see Dillon Francis right here at Wynn Las Vegas (TICKETS).

Samuel Ward McAllister

Samuel Ward McAllister (1827-1895) was a social adviser to New York's wealthy families during the Gilded Age.

McAllister was born in 1827 in Savannah, Georgia. His father and brother were successful attorneys. McAllister briefly worked at his brother's law firm in San Francisco, coordinating social functions and entertaining clients.

McAllister moved to New York City in 1852 and began attending the ball circuit. He established the Patriarch Ball, headed by 25 men from prominent families.

McAllister married Sarah Gibbons, granddaughter of steamship magnate Thomas Gibbons, in 1853. In the late 1850s, the McAllisters purchased Bayside Farm in Newport, Rhode Island. McAllister encouraged his New York society friends to join him there during the summer months.

McAllister divided America's wealthy into the "Nobs" (old money) and the "Swells" (new money). The Nobs were the intellectual elite; the Swells were the industrial elite then considered fashionable in American society.

McAllister became an expert in fashionable dress, balls, foods, wines, and dances, and advised society matrons on social etiquette. His most important client was Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, who grew into the role of New York's society matron under his tutelage.

McAllister and Astor devised "the Four Hundred," a social list comprised of a carefully selected group of upper-class families. To become a part of the Four Hundred, a family had to have at least three generations of wealthy ancestors who had not worked in the trades.

In his 1890 memoir, Society as I Have Found It, McAllister recalled the Newport dinners and picnics he organized for his wealthy guests:

"These little parties were then, and are now, the stepping-stones to our best New York society. Now, do not for a moment imagine that all were indiscriminately asked to these little fetes. On the contrary, if you were not of the inner circle, and were a new-comer, it took the combined efforts of all your friends' backing and pushing to procure an invitation for you. For years, whole families sat on the stool of probation, awaiting trial and acceptance, and many were then rejected, but once received, you were put on intimate footing with all. To acquire such intimacy in a great city like New York would have taken you a lifetime."

With the help of Ward McAllister, Newport became the summer social capital of New York's upper-class families.

I'm going to guess from the way he described the failure that the
circuit is simply overloaded, especially if the brake controller is
taking power from the tail light circuit.  Only way to know for sure
is to measure the current in the problem circuit.

BTW, Hi-50, the problem you had was that the safety nazi-mandated
transmission lock was inactivated by the blown fuse.  This is a
solenoid, usually under the console, that keeps the shifter from
working unless you comply - ape like - with a designated set of
maneuvers, usually applying the brake with the switch in "run".  The
solution is to remove (not merely unhook) this solenoid.  That way
you can never be caught in traffic again with your transmission
locked out.  Imagine had that door popped open and you stopped in a
busy intersection!

On the various cars I've removed them on, the solenoid has always
been located under the console on the shifter arm mechanism.  Some
vehicles (don't know about your truck) use a mechanical cable from
the ign switch to the console.  Either way it works the same -
blocking the transmission selector from moving.  Yank it out and be
done with it.

Hillary Lied To CNN: House Committee Releases Subpoena She Claimed She Didn't Get

When a politician gets caught in a lie, its gotta hurt.  Yesterday in her first big interview since she announced she was running, Hillary Clinton told a big lie. She told CNN's Brianna Keilar that she was never subpenaed for her Emails:
Keilar: But you said they -- that they did the same thing -- that they used a personal server and -- and while facing a subpoena, deleted emails from them?

Clinton: You know, you're starting with so many assumptions that are -- I've never had a subpoena.
Sadly for Ms. Clinton someone at the House Select Committee on Benghazi was watching and today they released the March 4, 2015 subpoena to Ms. Clinton asking:
(note the full subpoena is embedded below)

The committee issued the subpoenaed the emails immediately after it became aware of her use of personal email and a server,  and that the State Department did not control Clinton’s official record. The State Department failed to reveal this essential information to the Benghazi Committee or any other investigation into the Benghazi terrorist attacks until days before a media outlet was going to publish the information, meaning  that no investigation prior to the Benghazi Committee’s had access to the Secretary of State’s communications as part of their review.
“The committee has issued several subpoenas, but I have not sought to make them public," said committee Chairman Trey Gowdy. “I would not make this one public now, but after Secretary Clinton falsely claimed the committee did not subpoena her, I have no choice in order to correct the inaccuracy. The committee immediately subpoenaed Clinton personally after learning the full extent of her unusual email arrangement with herself, and would have done so earlier if the State Department or Clinton had been forthcoming that State did not maintain custody of her records and only Secretary Clinton herself had her records when Congress first requested them.
The fact remains, despite when this subpoena was issued, Secretary Clinton had a statutory duty to preserve records from her entire time in office, and she had a legal duty to cooperate with and tell the truth to congressional investigators requesting her records going back to September of 2012. Yet despite direct congressional inquiry, she refused to inform the public of her unusual email arrangement. This information only came to light because of a Select Committee request, not a voluntary decision to turn over records almost two years after leaving office, records which always should have been in State’s custody."
"Moreover, the timing of the Secretary's decision to delete and attempt to permanently destroy emails is curious at best. The Secretary left office in February of 2013. By her own admission she did not delete or destroy emails until the fall of 2014, well after this Committee had been actively engaged in securing her emails from the Department of State. For 20 months, it was not too burdensome or cumbersome for the Secretary to house records on her personal server but mysteriously in the fall of 2014 she decided to delete and attempt to permanently destroy those same records."
Next move is up to Ms. Clinton and reporter Brianna Keilar who should be steaming.  Perhaps she will say "it depends what never is." Read the subpena below.

UPDATE: There wasn't one subpoena, there were THREE, two of them issued by a different committee way before Clinton erased the story here.

Yogi Anand, D.Eng, P.E.                                         Google Spreadsheet

I am trying to format a group of cells to change when another cell has an "X" input to it.
How can I do this in google?

This works in excel through conditional formatting.  However, google does not have conditional formatting or I am not doing something right.  For example.  Cells "A2" through "G2" (all cells in the same row) have different text entered ranging from names to numbers.  What I want to have happen is when cell "H2" has an "X" input, I want those previous cells to either have the information formatted to "Strikethrough" or become a lighter color of text.

The following workaround using Change color with rules in an adjacent row, say row 3
might be of some interest to you. So here we go

♥ Face mist or Setting Spray

Face mist or Setting Spray

Uses for a face mist?

  • Your rushing in the morning, and need to quickly refresh your face.
  • You've been to the gym, and your face needs a pick me up before you get home and shower (Well, I don't shower at the gym, I don't know about you)
  • You've done your makeup, it's looking very matte and you want a more dewy look.
  • You've done your makeup, and want it to last- use the face mist as a setting spray.

Which face mist do I use..?

I only have the two face mists in the picture so I will tell you have I use these two, and for what.

Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray (mentioned here)-
This has very nice ingredients. It contains Butylene Glycol after water (but it seems all face mist need this?), then followed by Glycerin, Extracts of: lavender, cucumber, camomille, wheat germ.. etc etc. Pretty natural and skin calming ingredients.
Use this: Instead of your moisturiser when you don't have a lot of time, or use this in your to go makeup bag if your skin needs a bit of extra moisture during very cold times, or very hot times.

The BodyShop Vitamin C Energising Face Mist-
This also starts with water, butylene glycol, but then polysorbate-20 before glycerin. After that there is actually a preservative, not sure why that needs to be that high up in the list? After that it's got hydrogenated castor oil and in the bottom there is ingredients such as Aloe Vera Juice. Since the ingredients aren't as good as the other one, I now use this as a setting spray or to give my makeup more of a dewy look. I used to use this after gymming too.

Do you use Face Mists?
Did you know they can be used as Setting Sprays?

  1. Great review hun, I wanna try e dermalogica one. I have been using the body shop vitamin e one for a year I love it!

  2. Mac fix+ is the only face mist I have used, it would be interesting to see how other face mists work in comparison.

    Thank you for providing me with the blogger template site, I really appreciate it :) x

  3. Love Dermalogica and use many of their products but didn't know this setting spray even existed. After seeing this post I'm going to check it out:)

  4. not yet but i want to use it thought but didnt g3t it yet

  5. Have you tried the Mac fixing sprays? I get so disappointed every time I use them, they just don't work for someone with oily skin :( xx Carolin from Min Boudoir

Thanks for taking the time to comment, making me super happy!

♥ Beauty Wishlist Xmas Edition

It's been a while since I posted a wish list on my blog. To be honest it's only down to being lazy and not being bothered to edit and everything.

1. Real Techniques setting brush: Because I love RT brushes. I would love to try this one for contouring. Mentioned here.

2. Curls Coconut Sublime Conditioner: Another favourite brand, their hair products smell amazing and I love them. Mentioned here.

3. Apple Ipad Mini White: I've been meaning to buy an iPad for years, only reason I haven't is because I am too stingy. I recently decided to buy the iPad mini to read books (lol) and blogs, when it came out but it kept being out of stock. I've now decided to buy driving lessons instead, but to buy the iPad when I pass my test! Woo :)

4. DHC- Deep Cleansing Oil: From the bbloggersxmas event goodie bag. We got the small size, and oh my I love this. It is in fact a water soluble oil that cleans off all makeup perfectly. Review to come. See the goodie bag here

5. Murad Pomegranate Exfoliating Face Mask: Another goodie from the bbloggersxmas event (link above). I got two sachets of this product. It turns out there is no full size product but in fact a full pack containing- sachets  Personally I think that is completely stupid since a sachets last for 3-4 uses, and you have to keep one open and try to store it in a way so that it won't spill in the mean time. Okey enough about that- I loove this. I've been wanting to try a face mask that exfoliates by using various acids and fruit extract, which is exactly what this one does. A few people have had a burning feeling from using this, but I had no issues at all.

6. Tiana Organic Fairtrade Extra Virgin Coconut Oil: Since trying "real" coconut oil (cold pressed, and expensive lol!), I am soo hooked. I've been using Coconut oil for ages (a cheap refined one) but this is truly the real deal. It smells heavenly.

What is on your current beauty wishlist?

It is sad but oh so true that those who die weeks or months after they were hurt in a terror attack do not receive the 'publicity' that those who were killed 'on the spot' got. This weekend the terror attack at a shawarma stand near the old bus station in Tel Aviv four weeks ago claimed two more lives. Yesterday 26-year-old Lior ( Eliyahu ) Anidzar died of his wounds, and today Daniel Wultz, an 16-year-old American teen died "of organ failure" after he was badly wounded in the same attack. The total number of victims of that attack is eleven. May their memory be a blessing.

Facebook Updates: App Store, File Sharing, Highlighted Posts, And Policies

facebook app center

facebook app center

Facebook Introduces App Center

Facebook announced in its blog that it is working on its own app center which will give developers more ways to grow their apps & creates opportunities to be successful. The app center would be similar like Apple’s App Store or Google Play and users would be able to find great apps very easily. The app center would be accessible on the web and in the iOS and Android apps in the coming weeks.
It will also allow developers to publish paid Facebook apps for the first time.

Facebook is rolling out File Sharing for groups

According to a report on Mashable, all Groups on Facebook will now offer the ability to send and share files. Initially the update is rolled out to few groups but will be rolled out to all the groups very soon.
Users would be able to upload files up to 25 MB of all file types except music files and executable files.

Facebook rolled out ‘Facebook Terms and Policies Hub”

Now read the aggregated terms and policies of Facebook under one roof.

As Facebook explained “Everything you need to know, all in one place.” Check out facebook.com/policies.

Facebook is testing Paid ‘Highlighted Posts’

Facebook is testing a new feature called ‘Highlighted Posts’ targeted at the end users by which your statuses updates will reach more of your friends. The fee for using Highlighted Posts, starts from zero to “a couple of US dollars.”
Read the full report here.

Facebook Messenger Reveal Locations and Introduces Read Receipts

Facebook is rolling out a new feature – read confirmations(read receipts), that will allow Facebook users to know when someone’s read their message. Another feature that has been added is that Facebook Messenger would now reveal the location of the sender if the location feature has been enabled by the Facebook user. Both the updates will arrive initially for mobiles, & then later on will be added to the web interface as well.
It is a big alarming bell for some users who like to keep things private.

Jackie Cooper, Former Child Star, 'Superman' Actor, Dies at 88

Jackie Cooper's death largely went un-noticed ... One of the great actors of the 30s, 40s and 50s.  He could make you laugh and make you cry.  Jackie Cooper, who went from Oscar-nominated child star to TV executive and director while amassing scores of acting credits — including playing Perry White in the four Christopher Reeve Superman films — has died. He was 88.

Cooper died Tuesday at a convalescent home in Santa Monica. “He just kinda died of old age,” his attorney Roger Licht told Reuters. “He wore out.”

Cooper enjoyed a 60-year acting career. Before Shirley Temple won the world’s hearts, he was the most popular and widely recognized child star of the early 1930s and the first kid to shine in “talkies.” His pug nose, crinkly smile and pouty lip endeared him to a nationwide audience, first as Jackie in Hal Roach’s Our Gang comedies. Cooper was so popular, he was known as “America’s Boy.”

Need Inspiration? Check Out Gap’s Digital Catalogue! | Moxie Pulse

Ever have one of those moments when you’re browsing through a clothing retailer site, see a model wearing an item you really want, then have to dig around the online catalogue looking for that one particular item?  It’s frustrating and time consuming, but Gap is working to change the face of the traditional catalogue.

Gap has teamed up with digital agency AKQA and 6 fashion and lifestyle blogs to launch a new experiential digital catalogue called that allows consumers to share looks that include Gap clothes.  Bloggers are able to curate an outfit with a Gap product to best showcase their own individual style to give consumers a more authentic view point. The images are then pulled from the 6 blogs, aggregated onto paired with a description of the product, and gives consumers the option to bookmark or share the image on social platforms.

Implications: Digital catalogues have evolved from living within traditional retail sites to blogs by everyday consumers.  Brands can use bloggers as curators to keep consumers up to date on the newest trends and technology of the season while also providing a constant stream of inspiration to the consumer.

Eurovision 2016 (Stockholm) - Come Together! [21 May 2016|07:49pm]
Had a great time in Stockholm. Saw some friends, admired all the gorgeous Swedish people, enjoyed the fuck out of the impeccably hosted Eurovision Song Contest 2016! I didn't think anyone could beat Petra Mede's hosting in 2013, but turns out when you add Mans Zelmerlow it was even better! Some of my favourites got knocked out in the semis (although I got to see Dalal and Deen (Bosnia & Herzegovina) and Greta Salome (Iceland) perform in their live semis and also in the Eurovision Village! And also my favourite, the lovely Sergey Lazarev (Russia). Justin Timberlake's interval performance was immediately forgettable but he seemed like a thoroughly nice chap. The best part of the interval act was of course, Mans & Petra:

Amelia [10 Nov 2013|02:33pm]
I haven't yet posted a picture of my kitty on here. Her name is Amelia, and in the end she isn't from Battersea. She was found wandering the streets somewhere out near Chiswick by m31andy, unlabelled and apparently lost. After unsuccessful advertising for an existing owner, my hubby and I volunteered to adopt her. Now she lives with us! She enjoys meowing, food, sitting on next door's bin looking in the window at their dog, and staring intently at our remaining gerbil (Piglet - we sadly lost Twiglet last month. It was very sad but he made it to almost four years old which is very good-going for a gerbil) when she's allowed in his room. She is very friendly and social and loves being stroked. She kept our nieces entertained for quite a while the other week when they stayed with us for the weekend. A very patient cat!

Her silly nicknames (so far) include Fleetybops, Little Miss Flufferson, Ginger tums and tortie meowler.

Euphoria - six months on from its win [20 Oct 2012|07:40pm]
I had never seen the video for this before, only the live performance but I came across it on Youtube - and now I love it all the more! This song (despite no doubt being inspired probably by raving) in combination with this video (as if the lyrics weren't enough) describes the very essence of what I love about Paganism:

So I got married and it was AWESOME! Photos to follow, as my official ones were taken by the lovely charrr and are coming soon. I have been extremely happy for many weeks. Marriage must therefore be awesome ;-)
I still have amazing wedding cake left so that's my food sorted for some time (more happiness ensues).
I also then went to Spain for a few days to chill out and pet donkeys!
Did lots of sunbathing, reading and eating ice cream and not much else. Very relaxing.
Must go back to work tomorrow! Argh! Gonna be SO MUCH ON MY DESK. Must stay calm and just bash my way through it!

Extremely brief mention of Eurovision [21 May 2012|10:21pm]
As you may know, I will not be watching the Eurovision Final this year as tragically, it clashes with my very own nuptuals (despite my careful planning of avoiding the mid-May weekends that Eurovision usually occupies in order to prevent this, only for stupid Azerbaijan to put it on the very last weekend of May just like NEVER happens). I am very upset about this but as there is nothing I can do I have bravely abstained from what is usually the highlight of my year to make room for the highlight of my decade. However, although I have not done my usual thorough top to bottom reviews, complete with comments spreadsheet, I have checked out the favourites and have placed a handful of bets thusly:
I am pleased to see that Sweden is the favourite (I believe I concur) as they are to me the unofficial royalty of Eurovision and have gone f for the full on schlager effect with their entry, Euphoria. The title/lyrics I can very much get behind as they pretty much sum up how I feel about this mighty institution.
I will get into the semi-finals as far as I am able. The final I must sadly bow out of this year. Enjoy, those of you partaking.

Update in Spring Sunshine [26 Feb 2012|04:52pm]
[ mood | cheerful ]

Quick Zoe's Life Update, as I have been slightly rubbish at journalling:

- I was really self-indulgent and bought an iPad. It's really shiny and awesome. By all means please recommend apps to me so that I can get the most possible use out of it! I will have no money next month due to paying for it so I will need to use it to amuse myself ;-p

- I have done more wedding planning including visiting my venue and doing a trial for my hair. I have managed to make a style that can incorporate a plait AND my tiara AND flowers AND come down on one side of my face. Win! I'm basically at the fun bits where I organise flowers, balloons and fairy lights at this point - a good place to be!

- I had a lovely spontaneous day out in the February sunshine yesterday in Hyde Park. Doesn't matter how long you live in London - a sunny day always brings out some London squee. I also identified several types of bird life for my friends (coots and great-crested greebs) and spotted the beginnings of daffodils, snowdrops and crocuses - YAY SPRING!

- Last week I did a really long training day about residential lettings law and was highly interested the entire way through, which was unexpected and encouraging because it suggests that I'm not wasting my time in the property industry. I do really like property and find it interesting and am apparently successful about being geeky about tenancy agreements. To me this is no more shameful than being geeky about Linux or something like that so pipe down haters! LOL. Also, estate agency slang is really fun. Especially constantly using words like 'boom', 'spanked' and 'stroker' (meaning 'YES', 'in really good condition' and 'time-waster', in case you were wondering!) Obscure law geekery is just fun because if you know it well you get to be right when people ask you stuff. And I have missed being taught stuff I don't already now!

- Speaking of being taught stuff I didn't already know, I am on an 8-week Tarot Course which is really great and in depth and draws lots of links to Qabalah which is something I'd never bother to research myself, all really useful tools.

A musical interlude... [09 Nov 2011|09:36pm]
Struck very lucky last week when eurydice13 made me the proud owner of a spare ticket to see Evanescence, who were on good form as usual (very glad I chain-listened to their new album as obviously that was most of the set and it's lovely to know the words). I also realised how to heasbang without making my brain bash against the inside of my skull: give myself more space! It's more of an 'upper-body-bang'. I do like trashing my hair around. Makes me feel hardcore and all wild and free. Also, this rather nice photo of me got taken gazing at Amy Lee playing something lovely on the piano:

I also saw The Pretty Reckless for the first time, despite being a big Gossip Girl fan I had never seen Taylor Momsen in rock chick mode and now that I have I have the most epic girl crush since Lena Meyer-Landrut. Here is a lovely acoustic video of her:

Anyway I am very lucky as I get to do it all again this Friday as I am seeing Within Temptation!

Holiday in Cyprus was much needed. Had lots of nattering with my lovely faraway friend and hostess (she moved out there a few months ago and is staying for the forseeable future), as well as cocktails, Aphrodite statues, squeeing at kittens (Ctprus is overrun with wild cats who are very cute and some very friendly) walking on beaches and lying by pools. The last bit was particularly blissful. My back felt all un-tensed. I was so relaxed I couldn't even be bothered to take any photos. To be fair I went to the same place in 2009 and took many many photos then, where I was much more attractive, so those do me just fine!

Am quite tired now I'm home. Getting in at 3am Monday morning in the same temperature I'd just left and then going to work a few hours later might be why... very surreal.

Looking forward to weekend. Going to St Albans Friday night for pub and catch up with friends from school, then a birthday party bbq on Saturday. Mark is airsofting all day Sunday. Anyone who wants to hang out Sunday please let me know, as when left to my own devices I seem to default to cleaning my flat which really is not what Sundays should be for.

Should someone tell the New Scientist that this religion already exists? [07 May 2011|02:48pm]
Cross-posted to Facebook Note: it seems ridiculous that academics talking about religion in the New Scientist invent a hypothetical one that's identical to one that already exists...

What form would the ideal religion take? Some might argue that instead of redesigning religion, we should get rid of it. But it is good for some things: religious people are happier and healthier, and religion offers community. Besides, secularism has passed its zenith, according to Jon Lanman, who studies atheism at the University of Oxford. In a globalised world, he says, migrations and economic instability breed fear, and when people’s values feel under threat, religion thrives.

Today’s religions come in four flavours, according to Harvey Whitehouse, also at Oxford. First, the “sacred party”, such as incense burning, bell ringing and celestial choral music in Catholicism. Second, “therapy”: for example, the practices of healing and casting out devils among some evangelical Christians. Third, “mystical quest”, such as the Buddhist quest for nirvana. And finally, “school”: detailed study of the Koran in Islam or reading the Torah in Judaism.

While each appeals to a different sort of person, they all tap into basic human needs and desires, so a new world religion would have a harmonious blend of them all: the euphoria and sensual trappings of a sacred party, the sympathy and soothing balms of therapy, the mysteries and revelations of an eternal journey and the nurturing, didactic atmosphere of a school.

Numerous festivals, holidays and rituals would keep followers hooked. “Rites of terror” such as body mutilation are out – although they bind people together very intensely, they are not usually compatible with world religions (New Scientist, 19 December 2009, p 62). Still, highly rousing, traumatic rituals might still feature as initiation ceremonies, because people tend to be more committed to a religion and tolerant of its failings after paying a high price for entry.

The everyday rituals will focus on rhythmic dancing and chanting to stimulate the release of endorphins, which Robin Dunbar, also at Oxford, says are key to social cohesion. To keep people coming back, he also prescribes “some myths that break the laws of physics, but not too much”, and no extreme mysticism, as it tends to lead to schisms.

With many gods and great tolerance of idiosyncratic local practices, the new religion will be highly adaptable to the needs of different congregations without losing its unifying identity. The religion will also emphasise worldly affairs – it would promote the use of contraceptives and small families and be big on environmental issues, philanthropy, pacifism and cooperation.

Now, what shall we call it? Utopianity?

How awesome is life right now?

This morning I got up in an extremely leisurely fashion, had ice cream for breakfast and squeed over a documentary about baby lions, went for a stroll around Wandle Park in the sunshine with my beloved, went to Wimbledon and ambled about, took a train back which is 85p and takes 4 minutes, and now I'm home there is a lovely warm thunderstorm going on outside making that lovely wet concrete smell and all my windows are wide open which a) lets in the warm summeryness and b) cleans them. Oh yeah, I am hardcore.

In other news:

1) I plan to go shopping in Wimbledon on Tuesday, anyone want to come?

2) I have some raffle tickets for a charity called Cats Protection, £1 each, anyone want to buy one? Prizes mainly cash and M&S vouchers.

Right, plans for 2007 were put on hold due to a possible international day. So far it hasn't happened, so as it's now winter, i'm of the mind to wait for warmer weather before the next one anyway.

I know it's annoying, but sometimes stuff happens and well... pneumonia is just not sexy, even in the undead. Warmer weather = less restricted costume options too! So it IS still happening, just in a few months. Which also opens up related possibilities to make it even better [zombie gig anyone?].

I'll post here again soon with updates and info. It'll happen. Patience, grasshopper!

Extra Braaains [24 May 2006|04:24pm]
Dave Callan has joined me as co-organiser for the next Zombie Shuffle, and yes - it will be bigger and somewhat different next time. The first was styled on previous flash mob type Zombie Walks [hence the short notice and word of mouth advertising] but due to the overwhelming [hard to gauge first time 'round with this sort of thing] response [yes, you!] we're going full throttle next time.

Thank you to everyone who emailed me offering help, but with two extra organisers helping me I feel we're right for now with what we're planning, of course suggestions and promotion are always welcome! As always, please email me here.

Want your Zombie Shuffle pictures iconised or cleaned up? A Shuffle participant, Ladystardust has kindly offered her skills to anyone needing help!

The official Melbourne Zombie Shuffle flickr group is here. It's easier to link to this than individual flickr sets but they're easy to get to.

There's another group that's been set up here.

We're rather popular! Yay!

There's non-flickr photos here: Two Pot Screamer.
and the MGF thread here.
Three pages here
And another 4 pages here.

Keep 'em coming people!

Will just add links as I get them to this post from now on, it's in the memories under 'photos' so I won't be clogging friend's pages constantly.

Edit the first:

And more [scroll to the bottom].
The zombie crossing gif in this set is awesome.

In case of rain tomorrow. Hmm. Apparently there's a chance of morning showers only, but if it's actually bucketing down in the afternoon I guess it's off, unless we want to go for that sexy drowned zombie rat look.
If it's not ridiculous and just sprinkling by then, then umbrellas would be a good idea. Let's hope for no rain by 2 though!

It's tomorrow! Yay! See you all there!

And remember, traffic laws still apply to the undead! The Walks so far have had great press and feedback by the accounts i've read, either in AU or international - so let's keep up the good tradition, shall we?

There is, however, an after-life party at an alternative club in the city if you're still in zombie mode at 11pm, anything else is up to you! :P

Zombie picket sign suggestions [02 May 2006|01:34pm]
Some are appropriated from previous Zombie Walks, but if you're up for making a picket sign, don't f@$# with the classics... go nuts!

"The Undead were people, too!"

"What do we want?"
"When do we want it?"

"I feast upon the flesh of the living, and I vote"

"I'm Post-Life and I vote!"

"Grave rights for gay vegetarian zombies!"

"Don't Tax Our Brains!"

"Fresh Brains For Rotting Corpses!"

Add your own?

Side note! If making signs, please make them small enough to be carried by a single person, we need to adhere to traffic laws and aim to make our procession as least intrusive on the general public as a horde of zombies can be.

Also a word on costumes - please resist any temptations to bring along or incorporate real or realistic looking weapons! :)

This chap, Vincent Lee is an old chap in the advertising business and a very successful one. You remember the car pooling advertisements approximately 15 years ago initiated by Ling Liong Sik, the then Minister of Transport? Well, Vincent Lee's company produced those adverts!

Sunshine......does that absolve him from all the shit he has passed out? Many crooks have found themselves into our dustbins of history.

Roti Sunshine said...

Hello Uncle Zorro,

He isn't absolved as he is also very successful in producing very spiteful ads in GE 13! He maybe successful but in these ads he is also very filthy!

Anonymous said...

Uncle Zorro,

I am very very mad at my missus who still buys the gutter stinking Star newspaper from time to time to browse the advertisement offers from Tesco, Giant, Aeon Big, Guardian, etc, etc. I told her many times that the Star newspaper stinks our home but to avoid a matrimony disaster, I have to give in to her two to three times a week. However after she has read the thrashy stinking paper, I immediately remove the stinking thrashy newspaper from my home but I could not find a proper place to dump the stinking thrash as the rubbish bin is too good a place to dump this thrash without the likes of Jocelyn, Barandan, Wong Chun Wai, et al leaving its stench in the rubbish bin.

Please advise where and what is the best method to dispose of such stinking thrash without polluting the environment. And please do not suggest my wife not buying the thrash paper or suggest that I get another wife who would not buy the Star or NST.

Yours truly,
Poor Husband

Anonymous said...

The recent ads in the Star during the recent run up to GE 13 was to create fear to the readers and I think it is not professional on the part as advertising company that does it.
This also prove that it is all misleading advertisements (without fact or figures) and against the ethic of the advertising industry.
It is only right thing for the advertising associations in the industry to haul up the culprits and take disciplinary action them for false information.

We all should boycott NST, The Star, Utusan, BT, Kosmo, Harian Metro and Sin Chew to reduce their circulation.

Anyone and everyone can come up with all kind of figures showing how unpopular Umno is, don’t blame the coalition partners for their poor performance in the elections. To begin with the candidates were not true representatives of the people they represent,.as such how can they be accepted. They were always known as your lackeys and always did and endorse what you want and that were the real reasons why you wanted and still want them to be seen as partners. So that all the (wrongdoings) Umno commit and the money the Umno warlords (grab) are always done in the name of the people they are supposed to represent.

In short they are just like soldiers Umno is sending to the battle fields without any arms, they are meant to to be defeated from the start. Umno is just asking these coalition candidates to (lose)! That was the main and perhaps the only reason why they were defeated !

As usual Umno is blaming the Chinese for their incompetence and most of all for their downfall. It is just like a half cooked doctor who can only treat a patient for their symptoms but never for the real causes. How can the poor patients ever be cured.

Najib is now blaming the Chinese tsunami for Umno’s down fall instead of accepting the downfall like a true gentleman. Please remember the Chinese Malaysians are NEVER your threat. Just look at it this way for those who never accepted the policies of Umno, they would immigrate rather than to go on to the street to protest. Why bother to fight a loosing battle ? Umno has got all their lackeys … appointed in all the critical places in the country over the years, just to ensure whatever can happen Umno will always be well looked after. For that reasons so many millions of them have immigrated rather than staying back to fight and protest for in the streets. The bulk of the Chinese Malaysians are only interested in making a decent living for themselves and above all for their descendants .

It is always the politicians who are out to find the Chinese to be their scapegoats. The real threats are from their own educated kind just like what is happening in Malaysia.

The recent GE is a typical example, Umno did not win the election but their lackeys … planned for them to ensure they remain as tenants in Putrajaya. The world is not blind to what is taking place in Malaysia but no doubt Umno is not worry of what can be seen or said of them as long as they can remain as the watchdogs !

Being cursed with poor eyesight, I was a bit puzzled at the photo you had accompanying this article.

The picture looked very cryptic until I brought the screen closer to me for a closer look :)

I then realised it was a picture of the printing presses for the newspapers you mentioned :)

I could see a new edition of tomorrow's newspapers coming thru :)

Germany Week 2 (Monday 9th – Sunday 15th)

This week was kind of special for me for a number of reasons. I cleaned my room for the first time; I went out with a bunch of friends on Friday to surprisingly good effect; I became an official resident of Heidelberg; also, baring one super expensive home appliance (coming up in week 3), I’m almost finished with expense type “household”. And finally I shouldn’t forget to mention that I had the results of my first two tests, something which being mentioned last in this opening paragraph should tell you all about my lack of enthusiasm about sharing the details on.

Home Cleanliness

But firstly and most importantly, I can finally say that I have settled into my room and feeling comfortable here. For the entirety of the first week - and part of the 2nd week as well, I was in a very dirty room and without a mop, a broom or a vacuum. In that time, I didn’t want to touch the floor, the desk, the mini fridge, or anything in the bathroom. It was just horrible in that sense.

Add to that, the fact that I was exasperating the whole situation firstly by keeping the window open most of the time thus allowing dust into the abode, and secondly by dropping hair on the floor… lots and lots of expendable hair

So why didn’t I take care of this problem in the first week? Well I tried. I scoured everywhere throughout the entire week in fact, to find a broom and a mop, but none of the supermarkets carry anything remotely resembling those, while the nearest IKEA is 15km’s away.

So in the end, I bought a vacuum off of Amazon and finally found the mop in the ground floor of the language Academy (I have no idea how I missed it all that time). Especially the mop… it was a giant eureka moment for me. It felt as if the dark clouds had parted from the skies, with light shining through, birds singing and Eru Ilúvatar taking me to paradise (Valinor).

Most of Wednesday I spent vacuuming followed by moping and just disinfecting the whole dorm with tons of detergent. Needless to say, I slept like a baby that night.

Friday Party

Ok so here’s the deal. I don’t like to have much exposure to crowded places that happen to have loud music, cigarette smoke and extremely extroverted people that put greater emphasis on vanity and style than I do (that’s about the most politically correct way I can put it). So on this particular Friday night, I wasn’t looking to accomplish anything in particular, but instead things just kept happening randomly.

So it was around 20:00 in the evening when I called my 18 year old Brazilian friend to see if he’d be interested to go for a walk downtown. Within 45 minutes of arranging the meet-up, we were at Bismarckplatz (town center) and ready for a walk down Hauptstraße (pronounced Haupt-shtgha-ze). As soon as we get underway, we accidentally ran into a fellow classmate of ours from Canada. She was with another guy from Tunisia.

Now a group of 4, we were looking for a place to sit down and have a drink. After some walking, Nat suggested that we should go to an Irish pub she knows. And without any objections from anyone, that’s where we went.

We got there and even though the place was large enough for a stage, a dance floor and plenty of tables for all. And even though the place was packed, there was still room enough for us 4 to squeeze into. We all ordered drinks, and even though I don’t drink, I grabbed a small bottle of Heineken (~€3) and ensured that it’d last for the rest of what I hoped was going to be a short evening.

During the course of the first hour we drank at the table, listened to loud music and exchanged a couple of jokes yielding a few laughs here and there. And then karaoke began. We had several opportunities to sign up for the chance but nobody from our table (now 5 people after another Tunisian classmate joined us) seemed to be interested.

It was super fun watching a bunch of people of all shapes and sizes get on stage and make a fool of themselves to hit songs. And that got me thinking, why should those people have more confidence than I do? Especially when I could probably be just like them.

I wasted a good 30 minutes thinking about it and arguing with myself about the pros and cons. The only thing I didn’t do while taking my sweet ass time deciding was spreadsheets, pivot tables, heat-maps, charts and graphs! It was silly and I was suffering a mini anxiety attack the whole time I was thinking about it.

One of the arguments I used in my mind was how at work I’ve been at meetings where I’ve had to explain bad results to a room full of higher-ups all staring at me and seemingly waiting to pounce at me at the most inopportune moments with the most difficult questions, and expecting good answers. If I can survive those, then I can definitely survive making a fool of myself in front of a bunch of people who don’t know me and in a country completely foreign to me.

Plus the oldest person besides me in our group was 12 years younger than me so I figured that any sign of “gutsy-ness” or “silliness” would’ve likely been received positively.

With my mind set, I just got up, walked under the stage, over the dance floor and to the DJ. I asked if he had “Love the way you lie” by Eminem ft. Rihanna. He did, so I put my name down, went back to my table and waited.

Once I had put my name down, I wasn’t nervous anymore. And in my body language-speak that means that I was going to get very nervous and jittery on the stage. Sort of like the calm before the storm.

A few songs go by and it’s finally my turn. The presenter of the evening says something to the tune of “Oh for God’s sakes, more nicknames? Why don’t people put their real names on these cards”, when calling me on stage. That’s when I get up - without any fear or emotion - and jet on over to him to get my microphone. He asks me for my real name and I unashamedly shout it out really loudly at the microphone and proceed to get on stage. But the song doesn’t start. The presenter who’s on the dance floor says on his microphone “Who’s gonna do the Rihanna part?” to which I respond “Nobody” while making a “I don’t know gesture” with my hands and with a small pivoting of my head.

He then turns around, looks at the audience and asks for a lady to join to sing Rihanna’s part. Someone volunteers and soon thereafter the melody begins.

As soon as the melody begins, I spontaneously look to the audience and say “This is to my fans from Brazil, Canada, and Tunisia” while pointing my finger at the table where my group was seated. This provoked a response from my friends who started yelling and fist pumping into the air.

And then the jittering and nervousness crept in and it only got progressively worse during the song. That caused me to miss the first couple of lines which in turn made it even more difficult to get into it, what with this being rap and needing to say words very quickly.

Eventually I did get into it but only almost halfway during the first verse. But then soon after I did, the presenter literally came back on stage and forced the microphone closer to my mouth before getting off the stage, down on the dance floor, kneeling down and making a bow motion several times while I was still rapping! I had no idea what was going on and all of that was a lot for me to process. I just kept rapping while my body wouldn’t let up on jittering till the end. I made several errors and fumbled the words a few times and that was it. So satisfying even though I could’ve done so much better.

I walked down the stage, handed over my microphone, collected my free shot (which I gave away), I got to my table and the groups seemed really impressed, and I was told that I was “really good” and that I sounded “exactly like Eminem”.

After me, the other 3 guys in my group also got the courage and signed up to sing and we had a jolly good time doing it until 2am!

Having this one time under my belt, I can probably do so again without feeling any nervousness. And I rather like that prospect.

Officially a Resident of Heidelberg

Also using my dorm address and papers from the academy, I signed up to become a resident of Heidelberg (it was mandatory though I don’t know what the penalty for not doing it is). It was a painless procedure for both me and Gab (he’s Brazilian).

And we received a nice welcome gift from the Mayor’s administration (pictures below)

Test Results

I have the results of my first two test and they’re kind horrible. The first test I got a 20/30 while the 2nd test I got 15.5/30.

These scores are proof that I don’t say it lightly when I say I’m struggling. I really am struggling and possibly a week or so behind most of my classmates. Fortunately it isn’t something I cannot manage and I am putting in the effort to catch up.

I have a new system of learning which I expect to yield results in a week or two. And with TV always in the background speaking German in week 3 and beyond, I do have confidence that I’ll be better off soon.

Household Expenses Almost Finished

Sure, there’s always running household expenses such as detergents, toilet papers and stuff, but for the most part I have finally amassed everything I need to feel comfortable while keeping my dorm clean. In this week’s expenses report, the handheld vacuum cleaner contributed in large part to the bloated sum of the expenses.

Unfortunately week 3 is going to be the worst of the lot with me having decided to purchase a TV, headset and scales. But that’s for next week’s report.

But with the vacuum out of the way and the TV almost here. I’m really hoping on cutting down on this type of expense as much as possible.

Forex Price Action - Euro Approaching Double Top | Oct.16th

double top resistance large bearish engulfing bar oct 16th

Climbing quite aggressively over the last day and a half, the Euro is quickly approaching a key double top at 1.3166 where it formed a large engulfing bar reversal, selling off 350+pips in less than two weeks. Traders will have to watch this level as its very possible bears are parking orders there, or willing to sell on weakness leading into the level.  Should it break this level, watch for a potential breakout pullback setup with a 4hr close above, but there are plays on both sides here.

76: More Light

5 Jun

The last play in Bryony Lavery: Plays 1 is More Light. It was written for a youth theatre production but tackles subjects some might consider risque for young performers: things like cannibalism, oral sex and castration. I love the fact that Lavery never shies from bold subjects and intense drama, and that she doesn’t ‘write down’ for a young audience. She appreciates that young people think deeply and are probably a lot more interested in gruesome stories than sweet ones.

book, hand and windmills

More Light is the story of an emperor who has an elaborate and ornate tomb constructed for himself. Along with gold, silver and bronze, he also entombs the convicts who built the tomb, the artists and scientists who designed it and, in the inner chamber, his concubines who failed to bear him sons. It’s these concubines who are our protagonists and who tell the story.

All of the concubines, some of them young children, have been given their names by the Emperor. So we have our heroine More Light (because the emperor said her beauty brought more light to the room when she entered), Playful Kitten, Love Mouth, Pure Joy and Perfect Pleasure (to name just a few of the concubines).

MORE LIGHT: The tomb was like this.
Such Art!
The ceiling was the night sky
above the Empire.
Artists painted it the deepest blue.
Their arms ached with the work.
Every star was in its place,
a jewel cut and set by the most precise
of jewellers.
The floor was the map of the Empire,
fields, woods, houses, roads, the skill of
gold- and silversmiths,
the three mighty rivers
made, in this tomb,
from quicksilver,
dry to the touch
and flowing from source to end
by the art of engineers.

This Emperor (who thought of almost everything) killed everyone who knew the location of his tomb, provided his remains with all the pleasures of life, but neglected one thing. He forgot that the concubines sealed into the tomb with his corpse would begin to starve. Once starving they might forget the servitude instilled in them from infancy.

MORE LIGHT: Eat him I say.

The ladies’ eyes go round. Their mouths open in an ‘O’.

Each painted red mouth
in each white-painted face opens.
He is our Emperor.
He has always fed us.
He would not want us to go hungry.
Let us eat him.

The concubines learn to cook and to be resourceful as they find implements to dismember the Emperor and utensils to use for cooking. But once his body is consumed they fall to hunger again and have to move to the next chamber, to feast on the artisans locked therein.

MORE LIGHT: The inner gate is strewn with bones.
The air smells of cooked meat and
tallow grease.
The ladies’ faces are no longer white.
The red paint is gone from the mouths.
The skin is dank, yellow and smutted.

Our bellies are round and full as if we bear sons.

This is not a gruesome play, despite its subject matter. The women interred learn to imagine, play and laugh. They create their own art: fragile and beautiful. They are doomed but they are more alive than they’ve ever been.

With a cast of 19, almost all women, it’s a great show for youth theatres or universities to consider.

Publisher: Faber and Faber

Cast: 17F, 2M (although some productions have used mixed casts or all boys to play the concubines)

haptics Stories March 20, 2015

Haptic feedback features found in a recent iMovie update illustrate the power of Apple’s new Force Touch trackpad to provide feedback, not just as an input device, says one of the pioneers of the technology.

Freelance film editor Alex Gollner first noticed Apple was using the trackpad to provide tactile feedback in a recent update to iMovie.

When dragging a video clip to its maximum length, you’ll get feedback letting you know you’ve hit the end of the clip. Add a title and you’ll get feedback as the title snaps into position at the beginning or end of a clip. Subtle feedback is also provided with the alignment guides that appear in the Viewer when cropping clips.

Apple showed-off the Force Touch feature when announcing the new 12-inch MacBook, also adding it to the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display. The WSJ recently claimed that Apple also plans to introduce the feature to the touchscreen on the next generation of the iPhone …  expand full story

Attract Your Ideal Customers course

Do You Care about Building Your Profits Through Strong Relationships?

Owning or managing a small business is challenging. You have so many things to do and too few knowledgeable people to delegate the tasks to. Even if you are a one-person company, what many today call a “solopreneur,” you still need customers and you need vendors. You need too to have a strong relationship with your small business’ finances.
