What’s new these days: Renting outdoor gear from Eddie Bauer?

Posted By on August 1, 2021

Perhaps I’ve been asleep at the wheel, but when looking to buy another pair of Eddie Bauer shorts (liked the lightweight ones I ordered last month – below), I noticed that they are promoting a “Rent Your Adventure” outdoor camping gear program. EddieBauer-RenttYourAdventureIt caught me off-guard  to see them renting outdoor gear as well as selling it … although I did not delve into pricing.

I suppose it makes perfect sense … but has it really come to people choosing to rent outdoor gear instead of buying it … and do people really rent a pair of pants like a tux in order to go camping or hiking … on the other hand,they are only $4 bucks a day … I wonder if there is a minimum timeframe (and I hope their durable and easily to clean!)

A project idea (below) and wasting time salvaging junk

Posted By on July 31, 2021

To salvage or toss: It is a quandary those of us who try to fix, salvage and repair things. My theory is that those of us who take thing apart as kids to see how they RewireACFanWiring_mwork, tend to be the ones doing it when they are older and collecting boxes of junk?

I often find myself “wasting time” trying to fix things, and when I can’t, I often revert to my youth and “take them apart” … for no other reason than to salvage and save the parts. These are items that I’ll likely will never need or use in the future, but seem too good to trash. It happened again last weekend when I was unable to repair a leak and recharge our leaking-refrigerant dehumidifier … and because there was refrigerant in it … I “took it apart” and dispose of some of it piece by piece.

As for the parts that are left over, I have a perfectly good and pretty efficient squirrel cage fan motor to rewire and use as a quiet air-mover … although I’m not sure where I’ll even use it? (photo above is figuring out the wiring of this capacitor start motor)

As for project ideas … (more…)

Friday Filler Video: This dad make surfing with kids look easy

Posted By on July 30, 2021

Professional surfer Billy Kemper — and his son Lion — surfing together.

Surfer Billy Kemper says he glimpsed at death after a wave broke his pelvis in half

(CNN) – It was a tiny error in judgement, but within seconds he realized that the consequences could be potentially life threatening.

“That wave sucked me up into the mouth of it and slammed me onto a rock and just absolutely destroyed me,” American surfer Billy Kemper tells CNN Sport.

“Knocked me out unconscious. Collapsed my lung. My pelvis was broken down the middle, I had to get my knee reconstructed, the injury-list goes on and on,” adds the 30-year-old surfer as he details the impact on his body. “It was straight up life or death.”

A favorite photo of Drew flying his Quadrotor 5 years ago #TBT

Posted By on July 29, 2021

While reviewing and purging a few backups to stay under one of my cloud storage service’s data caps, a favorite photo popped up that was backed up on OneDrive. It was a pre-children time for Drew and Katelyn visiting his parent’s place on Lake Michigan when there was free-time for self, hobbies, tech gadgets and flying his quadrotor. Thankfully he has shared a lot of his drone video which makes for excellent Throw Back Thursday #TBT memories.

While looking for July 2016 links for the photo above, I also came across a great Ohio River evening photo in Cincinnati by Taylor FIVE years ago too.

Books (audio): In “Search of a Kingdom” by Laurance Bergreen

Posted By on July 28, 2021

InSearchOfKingdom_audiobookPerhaps it is my aging eyes, just worn out in the evening … or just too many distractions when the TV is on … but my book reading has slowed a bit. Of the several books sitting next to my chair, on my Kindle or iPad, InSearchofaKingdom_bookpagemost have been started, but sit unfinished.

So this past week I’ve stared an Age of Discovery audiobook called “In Search of a Kingdom” by historian and biographer Laurence Bergreen. Harper Collins published this book earlier this year and since I’ve always enjoyed the minutia when learning about voyaging history, this book holds my interest. It is difficult to imagine how different living in the 1500s was like in civilized society was … but hearing details from those exploring, plundering and trying to stay alive on board ships at sea.

In “In Search of a Kingdom,” Queen Elizabeth I and Francis Drake from 1600 century England challenged Spain’s dominance at sea and exploration. These two “helped set chart the course for the future British Empire,” and Bergreen tells account of Drake’s remarkable circumnavigation with intriguing details … which are enough to keep me reading/listening.

If you enjoy reading history, voyages of exploration, pirating and seafaring stories, then “In Search of a Kingdom” (Amazon Link) might just be for you (Link to add-on PDF audio enhancement file).

The legendary Thomas Sowell and his economics, politics and social theory highlighted by Jason Riley for PragerU

Posted By on July 27, 2021

As a longtime subscriber to the Wall Street Journal (and for the last decade or so Barron’s), I’ve learned to appreciate certain journalists, economists and opinion piece writers like Jason Riley at the Manhattan Institute. WealthPovertyWhen he told the inspiring story of Thomas Sowell for PragerU, I quickly viewed the video and applauded – well done. I also look forward to reading his new (2021) book,  “Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell.”

As an advocate for the conservative economic and social views of Thomas Sowell, I’ve learned to appreciate how he “followed the facts” as it move him from being an idealist who started out as a Marxist … to someone who advocates for free market capitalism. As the Hoover Institution where Sowell as been a Senior Fellow since 1980 (he is now 91), we are “advancing ideas that promote economic opportunity and prosperity, while securing and safeguarding peace for America and all mankind.”

More recently Thomas Sowell has been quoted on institutional and systemic racism and sees it as a piece of propaganda pushed on the American people (link).

Sowell has said that “it really has no meaning that can be specified and tested in the way that one tests hypotheses” and “it’s one of many words that I don’t think even the people who use it have any clear idea what they’re saying”. He has argued that it is a propaganda tactic akin to those used by Joseph Goebbels because it comes with an attitude that it must be “repeated long enough and loud enough” until it is believed and people “cave in” to it.

This post also give me an excuse to post a YouTube video link from Sowell’s mentor Milton Friedman (below)… that are always worth watching and thinking about (also an excellent conversation Rules_for_Radicalson the Phil Donahue Show – inflation discussion begins at 26 min mark). It is hard to believe liberty-loving Americans are fighting the same kind of leftist today as we were 50+ years ago … which means their infiltration of education, the media, government and grassroots community organizing (as Saul Alinsky promoted in his Rules for Radicals: A Pragmatic Primer – 1971) is gaining ground. As with all heavily centrally controlled Marxist, Socialist and Communist regimes,  they start with an ideology of pie-in-the-sky idealism. Charismatic leaders always seem to promote equity propaganda and focus their energy on dividing society based on ethnicity, class, race or economics. Idealists believe the Marxist underpinnings, although most who have studied history or compare the statistical odds should know the “shared misery” that comes with Socialism. Once there, those in power do whatever it takes to remain in power … usually through heavy-handed control.

How about this … Déjà vu!

Three and a half decades ago, Soviet defector and KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov, specializing in the fields of Marxist-Leninist propaganda and ideological subversion; warned us about the silent war being waged against America as part of a long term plan to take over and destroy the American system and way of life.

Music Monday: “Then Came You” recorded by Dionne Warwick and The Spinners in 1974

Posted By on July 26, 2021

Dionne_Warwick,1966It is difficult not to include R&B music when thinking about music from the 1970s (or 60s for that matter). While listening to JJ Walker on SiriusXM’s 70s on 7 this past week, DionneWarwickSpinners70on7I found myself tapping my toe while listening to a Dionne Warwick and The Spinners song “Then Came You” from 1974 for this week’s Music Monday.

It is hard not to appreciate the talent and entertainment quality first spotted by the songwriter Burt Bacharach in 1962. Warwick had already had a decade of success when she parted ways with Bacharach/David guidance in 1972 and although she remained a top concert draw throughout the world, her career was stalled when it came to hit songs.

  Dionne Warwick and The Spinners – “Then Came You” | 1974

In 1974, Thom Bell, singer, songwriter, record producer, noted that after recording “Then Came You,” reflected:

Dionne made a (strange) face when we finished [the song]. She didn’t like it much, but I knew we had something. So we ripped a dollar in two, signed each half and exchanged them. I told her, ‘If it doesn’t go number one, I’ll send you my half.’ When it took off, Dionne sent hers back. There was an apology on it." It was her first U.S. No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.

How to pick the right associate

How to pick the right associate

Hey sometime ago I did a video on how to interview a prospective associate and I saw it again. I was down on the beach in southern California and what I’d like to do is have you look at that in preparation for being at Win Win Associates. Let’s roll the video.

Pretty cool huh? That’s the Pacific Ocean out there. I’m in Southern California right now. This is Dr. Noel Lloyd and I’m going to speak to you about how to do a great associate interview.

So here’s the set-up. I have a brand new client: great guy, wonderful, successful chiropractor. Became a client of mine in order to learn how to do associateships. He had an absolutely terrible experience with a previous associate and had not picked the right person. Well how do you pick the right person? Well after you prepare and prepare’s a whole other subject, but let’s talk about the actual picking process, the interview process.

So many times doctors tell me I feel like a dancing monkey. I’m trying to entertain or I’m trying to win them over and I should be the prize because I’ve got this great job, I’ve got this great opportunity they can help people, have fun, make money. Okay so here’s how we get off on the right foot.

First of all, I ask all my questions about them and who they are and what they want to do and how they assess themselves before I reveal anything about the position I’m offering. One of the best questions that you can ask is, “what do you want to be doing in five years.”

Now if you tell them what you’re looking for, they’ll have a way of shaping their response to be the person that you’re looking for. That’s one of the things that people intuitively do in interviews. If I know that you want a chiropractor to do this, that, the other thing and I want the job, I’ll be darned if I’m not exactly the person you need.

Before I tell my prospective associate anything about our position or even what I believe about chiropractic or what our practice looks like, I’m going to ask them what they want to be doing in five years?

So, “what do you want to be doing in five years?” “I want to be seeing 250, 300+ patient visits a week, I want to be in a real smooth practice, I want to have associates just like you Dr. Lloyd.” “You know what, I can teach you how to do that.”

Now, I know philosophically, I know technically that we can probably get along, but if the answer to that question is, I want to be seeing 50 kids a week and spending a lot of time with my patients, taking care of mothers and babies, I don’t know how to do that practice. That wouldn’t be a good pick for me.

Now, if I told them what I was looking for and they really needed the job and they thought that working with me would be cool, they might not tell me what they really want. Then, 2, 3, 4, months into it all the sudden I find out wait a minute you don’t want to do what I want to do and we ended up in a bad relationship.

Or one young man told me I want to be kicking back. I said, “you what?” He said, “Yeah I want to kick back.” I said, “Explain to me what you mean by that?” He said, “Well, I mean after 5 years..” I said, “Hey come with me.” So we walked to the back door and I walked out the back door. This was only the second question in the interview. I said, “Listen, I don’t want to work with anyone who wants to cut back. I’ve been doing chiropractic for decades and I love it as much as when I started, so I don’t want to work with somebody who wants to cut back.”

Now, had I told that young man what I was looking for before he told me what was on his heart, I would have made a terrible mistake in the hiring. Now there are other questions asked, of course, but in that crucial first interaction, that interview, find out what they want to be doing in five years. It will really help you make a good decision.

This is Dr. Noel Lloyd for Five Star Management, for good matches and good connections and great associateships everywhere. Talk to you later, buh bye.

Going on a camping trip could be one of the finest adventures you’ll experience. Fresh air, spectacular mountains, stunning plants and more are all about many campgrounds. But humans aren’t the only species to be located amongst them. And not every single one is friendly.

The class of wasp common to the regions that the evergreen tree grows is the yellowjacket wasp. Some will build their nests in trunks, but most will attempt to construct a nest beneath an awning, normally at the end of spring and beginning of summer. The wasps typically leave the nest early in the morning and returning back in the late afternoon. Frequently, they’ll build a nest on the ground, noticeable by a dime sized hole.

Although, not particularly aggressive, unless the colony becomes aroused by someone coming close to the nest. It this happens, a number of wasps will fly away at once and the likelihood of a sting soars. They tend to be attracted by the whiff of meat being cooked, sugar water (even a tiny amount on the rim of a soda bottle), and various other human goods. If you don’t notice them, the chances are greater that you’ll come into contact, leading to a sting.

A can of wasp repellent is often an ideal accessory to horde, but there are usually preferable ways to take care of this situation.

In a nest that’s a recent build you’ll often notice a female skipping around the edges as she assembles it. Occasionally there could already be several egg sacs inside. At this point it has the appearance of a sequence of honeycomb cells. If beaten down with a large pole the wasp is likely to simple fly away and start again in another place.

After establishing the cells, the structure will be wrapped by the wasp in several onion-like coatings, with a small entrance remaining. At this point it’s often too far gone to safely deal with, unless you use the can of spray on the opening. Poking it now will simple lead to dozens of irritated wasps being released.

Parental Denial: Children-at-Risk

Children in the Wood by Charles Lucy

"Parents who tended to exaggerate their child’s talents reported more reactions on the part of their child to others’ envy of him/her. However, these parents also tended to be unable to acknowledge their child’s needs.

"Parents who were unable to acknowledge their child’s needs also had a strong tendency to report that their child does not express a need for admiration, is not sensitive to criticism and does not take pleasure in activities that he/she usually enjoys (anhedonia). These findings support clinical observations that narcissistic parents tend to report fewer problems in their children." (link: page 77)

Parental Denial

This is something that's always bothered me from the time I became a young mother to becoming my nephew's second-mother: How do parents ignore a child's developmental or social maladjustments? Why do they not acknowledge the truth---rather than pretending everything is fine when everyone is telling them something's wrong, very wrong?

I was startled and pleased to read the article above because it validated my perceptions: Narcissistic parents judge other kids as inferior and their child as exceptional. While they may be trying to make their child feel better about social rejection/problems in reminding them how special they are, it's actually counterproductive, increasing the child's isolation (and narcissism).

Being so so exceptional that nobody likes ya, makes for a lonely and miserable existence. We're social creatures after all.

So instead of securing therapeutic support as any GOOD parent is obligated to do, they deny the truth. Parents like this would have to be in true denial (unconscious) because it sure seems as though they only see what they want to see. They aren't ignoring warning signs because they're short on time and/or finances. They really do not see a child's needs and problems. Problems that might be precursors to an alienated existence or even: character flaws.

I can't quite 'get' this degree of Parental Denial and I've witnessed it with friends, with family, with acquaintances. It's the same story over and over: "Nothing's wrong with my kid. It's all those other kids that are wrong. They're just envious because they aren't as cute, as smart, as wealthy, or as talented as MY kid. MY kid is special!"

If the child is less than perfect, so are the parents. How does the narcissist deal with imperfection? Denial, denial, denial.

Unfortunately, the adolescent's unchallenged grandiosity is also reinforced, possibly hindering future development of normal, fulfilling, and intimate relationships.

I recall a humorous situation when our family returned to the United States after living in France for nearly five years. We were asked to speak with business peers who were considering a company move to France. Human resources asked us to be honest about our children's adaptation to French-Only schools. Now mind you, we were living in the Bay Area where parents are not known for humility when it comes to their children's gifted and notable achievements...by, ahem...kindergarten.

I started out with a dramatic introduction, "First of all," I said very seriously, "It's important for everyone in this room to know that my spouse and I have two extremely and very ex-cep-tion-al-ly average children."

The whole room stared at me as if I'd fallen off a turnip truck. My husband included. Evidently, no bay area executive's wife ought be proud of having AVERAGE kids...even if it were the truth.

The research article (linked above and below) focuses on children's pathological narcissism. Maybe in the future, psychologists will be able to intervene before children-at-risk develop a personality disorder that is harmful to not only themselves, but other people, too.

Our hopes for happier individuals and healthier communities hinge on early intervention, thwarting the rigid development of pathological narcissism. Prevention also depends on adults breaking through parental denial and accepting their children as separate and unique.

Our vulnerable children are dependent on being loved and cherished as individual human beings; not valued as trophies and prizes sacrificing their souls to the maintenance of parental narcissism.

Jean-Marc Guilé MD, Liliane Sayegh Ph.D., Line Bergeron M.Ps., Hélène Fortier B.Sc., Deborah Goldberg MOCM, John Gunderson MD
"...The construct of narcissistic pathology in children and adolescents remains a controversial topic. Both the psychodynamically-oriented literature (Bleiberg, 1994, 2001; Kernberg, 1989; Kernberg et al., 2000; McDavid and Pilkonis, 1996) and our clinical observations (Guilé, 1996), however, support the clinical need for delineating a core set of pathological narcissistic behaviors in children.
"Narcissistic children experience interpersonal difficulties with peers as well as relatives. They appear haughty and self-absorbed, as well as exploitative and demanding of others but giving little in return. They behave as if they are entitled to do what they want, avoid making any effort to realize their academic potential and tend to control others through dramatic tantrums. Their grandiose self-experience is organized around over-evaluation of their achievements, fantasies of invulnerability, success or beauty, and a feeling of uniqueness. Their need for admiration is impossible to fulfill (Guilé, 1996).
"Lack of empathy and hypersensitivity to criticism and defeat are associated with longstanding problems of adjustment in school and at play as well as treatment resistance and failure (Kernberg, 1989; Guilé et al., 2002). Self-centeredness and lack of empathy, which are central to narcissistic conditions impede the development of peer relations in children (Kernberg et al., 2000; Rinsley, 1990). Consequently, they constitute risk factors for the development of disturbances in identity and autonomy during adolescence (Weise et al., 2004; Guilé, 1999; Kernberg et al., 1997; Kernberg, 1991, 1989) and may increase the risk of presenting a personality disorder in adulthood (Crawford et al, 2001; Korenblum et al., 1997; Rey et al., 1995; Bleiberg, 1990).
"Accordingly, it may be useful to properly identify narcissistic pathology in children so that earlier detection and more effective intervention programs can be provided to these children..."

Hugs all,

The 15-track piece is his 7th studio offering, and it sees him take centre-stage of his rock-solid artistry with no guest features. This album brings a heightened level experience of the goodness that the talented star’s music has come to be known for through his 15-year career. Hits like I Can’t Kill Myself, The Mood, Born to Win and the recently released Gra Gra, are forerunning singles and have certified the Gratitude album as a pop-culture staple on arrival.

Against all the odds of the 2020 decade, Timaya is thankful. As such, he has translated his emotions into high vibrational content, revealing his approach to life and its uncertainties. With optimum production from Orbeat, Spotless, Yung Willis, Ayzed, Chillz, Vybe O, Wildxyouths, Boombeatz, Krizbeatz, and Chrisstringz, Timaya takes us on a groovy journey into his bubbly lifestyle.

The album opens up with Born to Win‘s gentle jive before picking up a slightly higher tempo on Iberibe. Reality meets exotic ragga and Afrobeat on Don Dada and Something Must Kill A Man as Timaya touches on topics like discipline, priorities, karma, and more. He expresses his limitless nature on No Limits after which he switches into a zone full of positive vibes with The Mood and Chulo Bother Nobody. Okaka is the thematic anchor of the Gratitude album. Reminiscent of True Story‘s Ogologomma, Okaka is Timaya‘s way of appreciating his creator for how far he has come. Gra Gra reaffirms his easy and zen way of life while Local and Bougie present the multiplatinum-selling artiste at his most goofy.

On Ebiola Papa, Timaya recounts a delicate period of his life while reiterating his total submission to God. He darts off to the romantic lane on L.O.V.E before employing a track called The Light to put Nigeria’s burning issues in perspective. I Can’t Kill Myself maintains its stance as a global lazy anthem and Buru brings things to an inspirational halt.

A classic addition to his expansive catalogue, Gratitude attests to the fact that Timaya’s long run in the music industry is far from over. His consistency has paid off, he is at his best at all fronts, and he is now dedicated to telling his story as a tool for the upliftment and enjoyment of humanity.

Does Snapchat offer safe sexting from smartphones, or a false sense of security?

Does Snapchat offer safe sexting from smartphones, or a false sense of security?

Millions of teenagers have adopted a smartphone app which has been touted as a way of safely “sexting” and sharing naked pictures. But is it really a safe way to share intimate photographs of yourself?

Snapchat website

Snapchat, which is available for both iPhone and Android devices, describes how senders can control how long a message or picture can be seen for, before it expires after a maximum of 10 seconds:

Snapchat is the fastest way to share a moment with friends.

You control how long your friends can view your message –
simply set the timer up to ten seconds and send.

They’ll have that long to view your message and then it disappears forever. We’ll let you know if they take a screenshot!

Snapchat timerIt sounds like a neat solution, if the picture is only visible for 10 seconds – that reduces the opportunity for others to forward it around the school campus, or post it for all to see on Facebook.

But the truth is that anyone can take a screenshot of their device (if they are nimble fingered enough) and create their own copy of the image.

The Snapchat app says it will tell you if someone takes a screenshot, but what action are you going to take if you share a photo in confidence, only to discover that someone has chosen to keep a permanent record?

Furthermore, there are “how-to” guidelines online explaining how jailbroken iPhones can subvert Snapchat, and take snapshots without informing the image’s sender.

A less high-tech method to grab the image is to simply take a photograph of the phone that has just received the nude photo. And then there’s no way the Snapchat app can tell you if that’s happened.

Some experts in the field of child safety online are clearly concerned that young people and children might be fooled into thinking that Snapchat is a safe way to share nude and inappropriate photographs of themselves.

Snapchat’s privacy policy even admits that it can’t actually promise any naked photos you send through the app will be only available for ten seconds.

"Although we attempt to delete image data as soon as possible after the message is transmitted, we cannot guarantee that the message contents will be deleted in every case. For example, users may take a picture of the message contents with another imaging device or capture a screenshot of the message contents on the device screen. Consequently, we are not able to guarantee that your messaging data will be deleted in all instances. Messages, therefore, are sent at the risk of the user."

Snapchat, which has received a 12+ rating from Apple for “Infrequent/Mild Sexual Content or Nudity”, is already wildly popular. The firm’s co-founder Evan Spiegel told TechCrunch that as of October 29th, users had shared over 1 billion photos (“snaps”) on the iOS application.

As of today, Snapchat was No. 2 in the list of top free photography apps, just after YouTube, and ahead of Instagram.

Snapchat chart position

It’s not likely that young people are going to stop sharing intimate photos of themselves over the internet anytime soon.

And the consequences can be disturbing, with parasite porn sites stealing and spreading images and videos of young people, and tragic tales of victims like Amanda Todd, who was bullied so badly over images of her that were shared over the net that she commited suicide,

Young people who adopt Snapchat shouldn’t fall into a false sense of security that it’s somehow a safe way to share naked pictures with their friends.

My advice? Stop taking naked photos of yourself. If someone is really interested in what you look like naked, they’re either a bit of a pervert or should be prepared to wait a few years until you’re both old enough to hook up legally and consensually in the privacy of a bedroom.

Sharing a naked photo of yourself with someone via the internet is putting yourself at dangerous risk of embarrassment, humiliation or serious bullying.

NEWS: Dust of the Street’s Shining @ ARC | NARC. | Reliably Informed | Music and Creative Arts News for Newcastle and the North East

Narc. Magazine Online

Reliably informed

A brand new play filled with pathos and heartfelt humour comes to ARC in Stockton on Wednesday 18th May, with another performance at Bishop Auckland Town Hall on Monday 23rd May. Centred on the character of Una, a strong Northern female character who has seen her fair share of tragedy, it’s a smart, sharp piece of theatre which could really impress.

Directed by Bob Beagrie and performed by Jacqueline Phillips, the audience follows Una as she’s stuck at a bus stop in the rain during a panic attack. Her never ending wait for another bus, leads to her charting the demise of her street; reflecting on the degeneration of some of our Northern towns and the hardships she’s had in some of the most difficult times of her life, including being abandoned when pregnant, and then the later murder of her son Declan.

It’s a hugely dramatic piece that flits between light and dark, and is performed by experienced actress Jacqueline Phillips, who recently starred in the critically acclaimed one woman drama Butterfly by Vici Wreford-Sinnott, and who has who has previously appeared in Emmerdale and TV crime dramas George Gently and Vera. It’s all set to be theatre which leaves a lasting impression.

Best of the 2015 Sephora VIB Sale

2015 sephora vib sale

The VIB sale kicked off on Sephora today, and I’ve already put my order through! I wanted to share some of my favourite items from the 2015 Sephora VIB sale, as well as a few of the items I picked up this year.

I’ve already picked up a few of the items below, as well as some of my favourite essentials like UD Naked Concealer and Primer Potion to keep me stocked throughout the year! It’s not often that you can get Sephora’s high-end products on sale, so I like to take advantage of the opportunity. To make this article easier, you can click on the products themselves in the image below!

1. Too Faced Grand Chateau

This is the HG (holy grail) of makeup sets this year. Complete with 18 (yes, 18!) shadows, 2 blushes, 1 bronzer and 1 better than Sex Mascara, this set will keep you as beautiful as the packaging. I love that each palette is one distinct look, so they can easily be split up and taken on vacation. The value of this set is over $272, which is over a 75% savings! I purchased one of these, but I’m tempted to get another to split up and give to my friends.

2. Cover FX Custom Cover Drops

This product is game-changing. I haven’t tried it yet for myself, but imagine you could use a few drops of pigment, mix it with your suncreen, and have an SPF 60 tinted sunscreen as your makeup at the beach! The possibilities are endless, you could even mix it with an old foundation that doesn’t match your skin tone anymore! This product has a higher price tag at $44, so take advantage of the 20% off discount!

3. FRESH Sugar Lip Delight

I reviewed last year’s Sugar Lip Legends here, and still use many of those little tubes today. There are plenty of sheer and pigmented shades in this year’s set, while all of them leave your lips nourished and soft. My personal favourite shade from the collection is Tulip! Pick up this set and split with your gal pals, or hoard them all for yourself to indulge your lips as the weather gets colder.

4. Benefit Do the Hoola Beyond Bronze Kit

Daylight savings time means that our skin gets as dull as the weather outside. Liven up your complection with this incredible value set from Benefit. Complete with a mini Hoola bronzer, mascara, dew the hoola liquid bronze and plenty of other products to boost your glow, you’ll look like you just got off a flight from Oahu.

5. NAKED Smoky

The latest palette from Urban Decay’s infamous NAKED line, NAKED Smoky is packed with 12 sumptuous shades that are perfect for a night out or a sultry date. I’m dying over this palette and am super tempted to pick it up later this weekend. The regular price is $64, so with the 20% off savings, it’s worth investing in!

6. YSL Rouge Pur Couture Mini Collection

YSL lipsticks are known for their eye-popping colour and luxurious finish and packaging. Indulge yourself or your loved one with this set of four lipsticks in core shades like red, orange, fuschia and nude.

7. Beautyblender

Why pay so much for a sponge? I used to think the same way, until one of these little pink sponges changed my concealer and foundation game. Trust me, we are ALL Spongeworthy.

8. Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade

I picked up this beauty must-have today in-store. I wanted a waterproof brow product and I liked the Blonde shade of this one, as well as the ability to control the amount of product. At only $23 to begin with, the product is sure to last a while.

9. Hokuho-do + Sephora PRO Kanpeki Perfection Brush set

I’ve been looking into upgrading my tool set and have done some extensive research on this Japanese brand. While the brushes on their website are made of natural fibers (from animals), the Sephora set is the perfect way to experience the Hokoho-do quality cruelty free as the brush hairs are synthetic! And the red handles? Swoon.

10. My Burberry Eau de Parfum

Of course, a roundup of the best picks from Sephora wouldn’t be complete without a new fragrance! I’ve been loving My Burberry Eau de Toilette. It’s floral and feminine and sure to delight anyone under the Christmas tree!

Mint bow blouse

Mint bow blouse

After a week of summer temperatures, frappy hour and cherry blossoms, Canada’s cold spring is back. I wore this warmer outfit (with a trench) to run errands and grab lunch. I love the feminine mint bow blouse combined with all-black everything. Over the knee boots were a fall staple for me, but I loved having the opportunity to wear them again!

mint blouse over the knee boots

I’m wearing a mint bow blouse from Target, over the knee boots from Chinese Laundry, waxed denim from Material Girl at Hudson’s Bay, double pearl earrings c/o Naked Pearls, an enamel bangle from Kate Spade and a quilted wallet on chain from Saks Fifth Avenue.

Shop the post:

mint bow blouse black jeans outfit

Isn’t the back of this mint bow blouse so darling? I bought it in cream and black too because I love the girly bows and peekaboo slit down the back. It’s great for work because you can wear a blazer or jacket over it, then you can wear the shirt straight out to dinner to reveal the unique slit down the back. saks fifth avenue leather quilted woc

This practical wallet on chain has been a go-to accessory lately. Its classic shape compliments any look and the functional pockets keep me organized.

mint and black bow blouseI’d love to pair this mint bow blouse with a pair of white jeans or a cute black skirt once it gets warm out again! For now, I’m getting some mileage out of these transitional pieces and am having fun layering trenches and statement pieces!

Consumer advice: How to reduce the risk from online scams | #phishing | #scams

Online fiction app Radish is a pay-to-read platform that presents serialised storytelling in bite-sized instalments optimised for smartphones – © AFP/File JUNG Yeon-Je

Cases of cyberattacks and fraud are on the rise in relation to e-commerce transactions. This means it is critical that eager shoppers and businesses alike take the necessary steps to protect themselves. Online shopping scams involve scammers pretending to be legitimate online sellers, either with a fake website or a fake ad on a genuine retailer site.

An example of the risks has been seen with the recent Amazon Prime Day, where a range of scams were orientated at shoppers, including phishing emails.

Looking at the matter for Digital Journal is Will LaSala, Director Security Solutions at Onespan.

According to LaSala his mission is to “Urge everyone to move to multi-factor authentication wherever possible to protect you when shopping online.”

There is a reason why he recommends this. LaSala says: “In the recent news, we have seen approximately 25 billion user credentials leaked to hackers around the world. These leaked credentials make it much easier for hackers to steal user accounts – with a list of previously used passwords, cybercriminals can simply try each of those against your account. If you reuse a password, chances are that password is on this list.”

Looking at the U.K. as an example, LaSala  highlights the extent of recent attacks: “In addition to moving away from static passwords, phishing and social engineering attacks have dramatically increased with over 36 million Brits targeted by scammers this year alone, according to Citizens Advice.”

There are things that can be done and LaSala describes some best practices: “Where hackers lurk, precautions must be put in place, and there are steps we can all take to stay safe when we look for that great new deal. Start by never giving away your sensitive information.”

With care around information, LaSala cautions: “Banks, credit card companies, and e-commerce sites will never ask you for your full password in customer communications. In addition, never fill out your card details on a website with a URL that you don’t recognise. Man in the middle attacks (or MITM), where hackers steal personal data by making near perfect copies of legitimate websites with their own domains, are on the rise. It is crucial that consumers always double check the web address before attempting to make a purchase.”

There are also risks abound with new technology. LaSala  discusses some examples: “Mobile devices have brought all our private accounts and data into a single, convenient location — making them the perfect target for a hacker. Everything from online banking and e-wallets to email and social media is linked into your mobile device. This means that, once a criminal gets access to your phone, all your apps are open doors for cybertheft. Only download verified mobile apps from the official Apple App Store or Google Play store. Downloading mobile apps from unofficial channels opens the door to fall victim to attacks—one wrong click can lead to all your personal information being leaked.

LaSala’s final advice to readers is: “Finally, business must ensure that apps are sufficiently shielded and protected from these unwanted hacks.”

Lord Salisbury's Lessons for Great Powers

March 14, 2014 Topic: Global Governance Region: United Kingdom

Lord Salisbury's Lessons for Great Powers

A master class in focused stewardship of national power that's greatly relevant to America in Ukraine.

In October 1897, John Hay, then U.S. ambassador to Great Britain, had an “informal talk” with British prime minister Lord Salisbury. The topic was Cuba, then in chaos from an insurgency against its Spanish overlords. Hay’s purpose in the conversation was to ascertain Britain’s interest, and likely reaction, if the United States determined it must get involved in the affairs of that troubled island, just ninety miles from U.S. shores, even including possible military action against Spanish colonial rule.

This was the same year that Britain celebrated Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, noting her six decades on the throne. It was a celebration of global power and influence rarely seen before or since throughout recorded history. A look at any map of the world at that time showed that a fifth of the global land mass was colored pink, denoting British domains that also contained a fourth of the world’s population. The Jubilee naval review displayed untold miles of ships—twenty-one battleships, fifty-three cruisers, thirty destroyers and twenty-four torpedo boats, all pulled together strictly from British home waters.

The French newspaper Le Mond, no fan of British power, compared Britain’s fin de siècle imperium to that of Rome at its height. And, indeed, Britain could project military power around the world far beyond the capacity of any other nation or combination of nations.

Hence, Lord Salisbury’s response to Hay’s subtle query is particularly noteworthy.

“He spoke with considerable reticence and habitual caution,” Hay reported to his boss, President William McKinley, in a letter dated October 6, “but he acknowledged the deplorable state of affairs in Cuba….He expressed the hope that the new government [in Spain] might do something to restore peace; said that England has no interests in the case except commercial ones, and that they would look with favor on any policy that would restore tranquility and some measure of prosperity to Cuba.”

Hay’s interpretation, conveyed to the president, was this: “On the whole, the conversation defined the impression I already had, that we need apprehend no interference from England if it became necessary for us to adopt energetic measures” in Cuba.

It is interesting to compare Lord Salisbury’s response with that of the U.S. government regarding recent events in Ukraine—which, like Cuba in relation to the United States, lies fully within Russia’s sphere of influence. Salisbury was bowing to the U.S. Monroe Doctrine, that audacious diplomatic challenge issued by President James Monroe in 1823 that carved out America’s sphere of influence and warned other nations that any encroachment would be fraught with consequences. To Salisbury, challenging America within its own sphere of influence simply wasn’t worth the price.

Salisbury disdained the kind of British jingoism often seen in the columns of the London Daily Mail, a newspaper he dismissed as being “written by office boys for office boys.” Rather, he saw the world in terms more closely aligned with the outlook of America’s modern foreign-policy realists. As Salisbury biographer Andrew Roberts, writing in History Today, put it, “Spheres of influence, buffer states and Realpolitik meant far more to him than the Anglo-Saxon imperial dreams of a [Joseph] Chamberlain or the Cairo-to-Cape schemes of a [Cecil] Rhodes.”

No doubt Salisbury also had in mind the Machiavellian concept of “balance of interests,” as described by German editor and geopolitical analyst Josef Joffe in a recent Wall Street Journal piece. It’s a question of which power has more skin in the game when interests clash. When Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev attempted to place nuclear missiles in Cuba in 1962, he miscalculated the balance of interests—in other words, America’s fiery resolve to prevent such an alteration in the power balance in its own neighborhood. Similarly, wrote Joffe, the United States and European Union miscalculated the force of Russia’s resolve when they sought to pull Ukraine away from the Russian sphere of influence.

But Salisbury also understood that any hegemonic power inevitably will encounter multiple challenges at any given time, and hence it must assess carefully, in terms of its fundamental interests, the clashes it wishes to pursue. Britain in Salisbury’s time had plenty of adversaries around the world that were only too eager to pin the superpower down as the Lilliputians did Gulliver. Salisbury’s country engaged with America in 1895 over a land dispute involving Venezuela (the Monroe Doctrine again). It faced off against France over the Upper Nile. It clashed with Russia over Port Arthur and Germany over South Africa. It confronted a powerful challenge to its global position in the form of a relentless German naval buildup.

But, as Roberts points out, all these challenges and crises were handled “in a carefully arranged foreign policy vacuum”—meaning Salisbury steered clear of unnecessary conflicts and avoided getting embroiled in multiple crises at the same time. He particularly avoided shooting wars.

And here’s the clincher: Salisbury’s cautious approach, far from stifling the British imperium or forcing a retreat, actually brought vast new lands under the British imperial banner.

Britain’s particular brand of colonial imperialism, so powerful in the nineteenth century, is long gone now, of course. But the lessons derived from Lord Salisbury’s prudent leadership of that era are pertinent today for any global power that wishes to project influence around the world and foster global stability in key strategic locations.

First, avoid promiscuous jingoism of the kind that Salisbury despised—and that suffuses so much American commentary and political discourse today. This kind of talk, particularly coming from national leaders, ultimately undermines any nation’s global authority.

Second, avoid geopolitical controversies and crises that don’t affect directly the nation’s true strategic interests. A corollary principle is to avoid moralistic posturing, which only breeds national hypocrisy and leads inevitably to geopolitical overextension.

Third, never lose sight of Machiavelli’s balance-of-interests concept. When a global power tampers with another major country’s traditional sphere of influence, the result will be a breakdown in the ability of those two countries to deal with each other effectively. This is what happened between the West and Russia, not just in relation to Ukraine but also on much more crucial matters, such as the rise of China in the Far East and the Eurasian Heartland.

Fourth, never lose sight of the fundamental reality that stability is derived through a balance of power, not through hegemony. The former can be maintained through creative diplomacy backed up through a strong military presence; the latter is inherently unstable because it angers and energizes the Lilliputians.

These principles were all visible in the global leadership of Lord Salisbury—as reflected, in one pertinent instance, in his comments to John Hay on Cuba. Conversely, they have all been violated and trampled in America’s handling of the Ukraine crisis. The negative consequences are likely to be substantial.

Robert W. Merry is political editor of The National Interest and the author of books on American history and foreign policy. His most recent book is Where They Stand: The American Presidents in the Eyes of Voters and Historians.

OOC: Reducing government size?

24-12-2004, 01:04
I know this is a rather newbishish question, but I'll ask it anyways. What are some effective techiques for reducing government size?
24-12-2004, 04:54
goverment destruction :D
Otherwise i have no idea either
Neo England
24-12-2004, 05:22
I believe you need to reduce tax's. That will also reduce government size.
24-12-2004, 11:01
Generally pick issue options that will result in less government expenditure.
24-12-2004, 11:24
What government? Seriously, I've got a small group of community minded officials...
Grand Teton
24-12-2004, 13:27
Liberalise yo economy. Means less regs -> less bureaucrats -> smaller government.
26-12-2004, 08:42
Avoid anything that might give money to the government specifically, e.g. the Administration data ( check the XML feed, e.g. here ( ) and go down to <GOVT> where you'll see a spending break down. ) By using the XML feed, just stick in your nation name ( use " _ " for a space, e.g. here ( ) to see your own, its a good way to better track how your nation is going ... ( I'm using it to recalibrate my spending, slowly, so one day I might get a golden spread of 25 % each for Commerce, Defence , Law & Order + Education. )

And here is another tip : Not only lower taxes, but for that " baseball " issue, don't go with the Government Guy in his new office, because that'll contribute to Administration spending, and put you on the path to a bigger government. And yes, liberalising your economy should help. From memory, my own Capitalizt / Capitalist Paradise / Corporate Bordello style nations have smaller governments, if one at all ...

Hope that is some help Pilot !

Unclean in the New testament

My bride and I were watching a video by Zach Bauer the other day and he displayed and read this passage:

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, [20] Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, [21] Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. (Bold, mine)

Galatians 5:19-21 KJV

Suddenly my wife Sarah noticed the third item in this list. “It says uncleanness right there!” she exclaimed. I looked again and replayed that portion of the video and said, “you’re right and where is that defined?” The next day, I was talking to Peter and he said, “that sounds like a good blog post. If you don’t write it I will.” So here it goes.

I started by looking up the verse at blueletterbible.org in the KJV and clicking ‘tools’   next to verse 19 revealing the Greek words and the Strongs number. The word ‘uncleanness’ is translated from ἀκαθαρσία G167 which I then cross referenced with the LXX (Septuagint Greek translation of the Tanakh) and can you guess what I found? The same word is used over 150 times in various forms throughout the Tanakh. It links back to Strongs numbers H2930 and H2931.

One of the glaringly obvious passages to jump to is Lev. 11. Ἀκαθαρσία (akatharsia) is the same word used for the unclean animals that are defined as “non food.” This type of uncleanness is absolutely forbidden and if done willfully puts the believer in a very dangerous place Yah defines as ‘an abomination’ (Lev. 11:10-13, 20, 23, 41-43 KJV). Another word for abomination used in both Deut. 14:3 and Is. 66:17 is tô‛êbah  It gives us, in the context of eating unclean, a link back to Lev. 18:22 which is a direct prohibition of male homosexuallity. How many sermons have we heard preached condeming homosexuality as an abomination but completely ignoring the fact that the church is having a pig roast picnic that same afternoon? Another connection you may want to study through using the same word study process is Rev. 21:27. This links us back to multiple uses of abomination in the Torah and is also a very clear statement about entering the kingdom.

Tame, H2930/31 also links to being ceremonially unclean in multiple passages such as when you touch a dead body (Lev. 19:13), the time of a woman’s cycle (Lev. 15:24-33; 18:19), after childbirth, after sexual relations with a wife, etc… Obviously, these states of uncleanness are natural functions that are part of life.  They do not make us ‘sinful,’ rather, we are simply not in a clean state to enter the Temple. (Some argue that if we are the Temple of Yah, then we should seek to maintain a state of cleanness as a daily habit, recognizing that sometimes being unclean or exposed to this type of uncleanness is unavoidable. The authors would recommend you seek the Father for how He would have you walk this aspect out in the absence of a Temple.)  What is important is to understand that there are two types of uncleanness, physically sinful and ceremonial. The former separates us from Yah permanently, absent repentance and sacrifice, while the latter separates us temporarily requiring a mikvah/bath and at times sacrifice.

The larger point is this particular “work of the flesh,” just like the rest of Paul’s list in Galatians 5:19-21, has a particular definition or definitions found in the Torah.  These are definitions we must understand as this must be a very serious matter if it can potentially keep one from ‘inheriting the kingdom of God.’

The Apostle Paul upheld the Torah. He never taught anything contrary to it nor did he attempt to add to it. I find it interesting that right here in Galatians, the letter that most Christians point to as “proof that the law is done away with,” we find that Paul is pointing back to the Torah in the verse immediately following the one most folks rip out of context as “proof”. Without the Torah there is no definition for most of the things listed in this passage. Yet, many today would have us believe that uncleanness has some other mystical meaning that they make up in their own head or they have heard spouted by some denominational pastor who pasted together a couple out of context verses that supposedly support their “definition”. This is the very essence of both adding to and taking away from Torah.

The bottom line is that those who have ‘uncleanness’, ἀκαθαρσία, will not inherit the kingdom of God. Uncleanness, as we’ve demonstrated according to Torah, includes both eating swine’s flesh (see Lev. 11:44-45 and Isaiah 66:16-17) and male homosexuality (among other sexual sins).

Pete and I hope you will continue to study this important topic and we look forward to expanding on this in future posts.

  1. Wow! Great find. Thank you for sharing this. My family and I have been reading Galatians this week and discussing why Peter said Paul’s writing are hard to understand and ignorant, unstable people twist his writings and the scriptures to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:16).

Play is the highest form of research

Despite all efforts to make learning effective, a big percentage of education still relies on teaching methods adopted during the industrial revolution, that of passive one-way instruction. In the knowledge era the efforts to make it interactive, using multimedia does bring in better assimilation of information. But it still remains passive after the initial fascination for the gadgetised environment wanes. It still caters to individuals who are already good listeners and those with a good amount of visual intelligence. What about the rest? How do we bring out the best in them? How do we PLAY that? Is there a one-can-suit-all formula for the game?

And when I say education, I dont only mean in schools and colleges. It is meant to encompass learning as a lifelong process. Right from when parents try to teach their kids a way of life they think is right, to the tutors in the education process, to the workplace where new skills have to be acquired and so on, the learning never ever stops.

Which part of the learning do we enjoy most? That which is told to us or that which we learn by experience? If nothing comes close to learning by experience, can we wait to experience everything? If that is not practical, is a simulation of the experience the next best way? Here is where we can PLAY with the methodologies and hence understand the learning.

As part of this process, we at NaVaRaSa have chosen a few tools that are up our alley and experiential in nature – Music, Dance, Theatrics, Fine Arts, Yoga & Martial Arts, Visual Media, Culinary Arts, Linguistics and Earth Sciences.

The experts in the fields come together for more depth and breadth on the subject on this forum.

A work in progress like all good research must be….stay tuned.

– Shridevi

Addition of The Amundi Evian Championship Allows Avid Golf Enthusiasts to Tee Off at the Ultra-Realistic Recreation of the Evian Resort Golf Club in France

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR Will Go Beyond Character Selection to Highlight Women’s Golf and the LPGA with In-Depth Female Representation Across All Modes

REDWOOD CITY, CALIF.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#EAxLPGA--Today, Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ:EA) and the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) announced the next phase of their long-term partnership with plans to bring the LPGA Tour, the longest-running women’s sports association; The Amundi Evian Championship, one of its five major championships; and more female golfers to EA SPORTS™ PGA TOUR™. For the first time, the LPGA Tour will be experienced in high-fidelity on next-generation consoles and will feature a wide breadth of women’s golfing representation. In Spring 2022, all players will be able to tee-off as a female golfer at the truest representation of the Evian Resort Golf Club in Évian-les-Bains, France, thanks to the power of EA’s Frostbite™ game engine.

“We’re thrilled that the LPGA Tour is coming back to EA SPORTS PGA TOUR especially with the inclusion of a major global tournament like The Amundi Evian Championship,” said Brian Carroll, the LPGA’s senior vice president of global media distribution. “EA SPORTS has done a great job in continuing to expand female representation in the various modes throughout the game and featuring women’s golf in an authentic and modern way.”

To authentically represent the diversity found in the sport of golf and create a more welcoming community, the development team worked with a diverse group of golf professionals, including GOLFTV and Sky Sports broadcaster and former pro golfer Iona Stephen. Iona is a part of a larger Creative Council and has worked with the development team at EA for over a year on everything from design to audio, visuals, golf trends and community building. Iona is also joining the EA commentary team as the first female on-course commentator in game, bringing her experienced insights from both playing professionally and working in golf broadcasting.

“I’m incredibly excited that EA SPORTS PGA TOUR laid out a vision to represent female athletes and the LPGA in the game,” said Iona Stephen, GOLFTV and Sky Sports broadcaster, and EA SPORTS ambassador. “My goal in helping EA is to give women the satisfaction of playing a quality golf game while seeing themselves in a variety of ways that go beyond a handful of female character models.”

“I’m beyond excited to be included as one of the female golfers in EA SPORTS PGA TOUR,” said Jin Young Ko, professional golfer, and winner of The 2019 Amundi Evian Championship. “Women’s golf is growing so fast and having us included in this game is a great opportunity to reach fans all around the world. I can’t wait to see how it turns out — and I can’t wait to play the game!”

Ko joins a roster of LPGA Tour athletes coming to EA SPORTS PGA TOUR when it launches next year. Each of these athletes can be used to compete in multiple game modes — including a variety of challenges and The Amundi Evian Championship — from the start. First played in 1994 as the Evian Masters, The Amundi Evian Championship was elevated to major-championship status in 2013. Nestled at the base of the Alps, Evian Resort Golf Club provides spectacular views of Lake Geneva and sprawling snow-capped mountains. The course has served as the venue for some incredible moments in LPGA Tour history, including Ko’s two-stroke win in 2019, Angela Stanford’s first major victory in 2018 at age 40 and Hyo-Joo Kim’s first-round 61 in 2014, which still stands as the lowest round at a major by any golfer, male, or female.

The Amundi Evian Championship will be just one of the many additions to EA SPORTS PGA TOUR as a part of EA’s long-term partnership with the LPGA. Players will have the opportunity to play as several female athletes as well as create a female golfer of their own in the newly overhauled Create-A-Player feature. From having the chance to participate in a series of LPGA-themed challenges, amateur tournaments and events like The Amundi Evian Championship, EA SPORTS PGA TOUR is providing an in-depth women’s golf experience in 2022.

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR will serve as the first appearance of The Amundi Evian Championship in a videogame as it joins four of golf’s men’s major championships: the Masters Tournament, PGA Championship™, U.S. Open Championship and The Open Championship™. In addition to playing the major championships, golf fans can also live out a legendary career as they authentically compete at THE PLAYERS Championship and FedExCup Playoffs, while experiencing the unique atmosphere and venues of each tournament.

EA SPORTS PGA TOUR is being developed in Orlando and Madrid by EA Tiburon. To receive the latest information, register for email updates at For EA SPORTS PGA TOUR assets, visit: and follow @EASPORTSPGATOUR on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for the latest updates.

Proving the Business Case for the Internet of Things

GM, AT&T to launch 4G vehicles next month

Iain Morris
May 15, 2014
GM says it will next month launch a new range of vehicles capable of connecting to the internet over the 4G network of AT&T.

Customers will be able to use services free of charge for a three-month period or up to a three-gigabyte limit, after which they can take out a data plan starting from $5 a month.

The 2015 Chevrolet Malibu is to the be the first LTE-equipped vehicle and will be followed by more than 30 other Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles by the end of the year, said the carmaker.

Drivers and passengers will be able to connect up to seven devices inside the vehicle using a built-in Wi-Fi hotspot, and are also set to benefit from improve access to existing OnStar safety and security services, claims GM (Detroit, MI, USA).

“Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac will be the first vehicle brands to market with 4G LTE connectivity offered on such a broad scale, and we're excited to give millions of customers an opportunity to explore the technology without paying extra for a data plan for three months or three gigabytes,” said Mary Chan, OnStar’s president. “Later this year, we will begin to offer data plans and our customers will be able to connect for as little as $5 per month.”

Customers can buy data services from GM or through AT&T (Dallas, TX, USA), if they already subscribe to the operator’s mobile services, by adding the vehicle as a device to a Mobile Share Value plan – in the same way they would if activating a tablet for data services.

The pricing appears to be very competitive when compared with the in-car LTE service being offered by Audi (Ingolstadt, Germany), whose rates work at roughly $16 per month.

Audi is also using the AT&T network, and the operator flagged a North American tie-up with Tesla (Palo Alto, CA, USA) in January this year.

The operator appears to have stolen a march on its mobile network rivals in the connected-cars area, and its contract with Audi looked to have come at the expense of number-four player T-Mobile US (Bellevue, WA, USA), which had previously provided in-car 3G connectivity services to the carmaker.
