Challenging Rising Inequality

Mark Goldring

17 September 2016

Mark Goldring, Chief Executive of Oxfam GB, reports on growing inequality arising from the current economic model that benefits the privileged minority.
Extreme inequality across the globe spells disaster for millions.

We strive for ever greater growth that leaves the poorest behind, but we ignore the unmeasured price we pay as we burn and chop beyond our planetary boundaries

“Slow onset emergency” is one of the most terrifying phrases you can hear in the Oxfam offices. Tsunamis and earthquakes scare us all, but the threat of a gradual, developing crisis like that posed by the El Niño weather system raises a different fear – that we will see suffering in slow motion.

It’s hard to raise the alarm that millions of people face drought and hunger when the crisis builds cumulatively. Yet failed harvests that push families into poverty, communities forced to leave home, and conflict over limited resources all combine to spell disaster on a massive scale. It seems that as humans we find it all too easy to sleepwalk into a catastrophe until it is upon us.

I am feeling the same now as I see the annual Oxfam reports on inequality stacked up on my desk. Three years ago we warned that the world’s richest 85 people had the same wealth as the poorest half of the planet combined. The next year, it was found that the world’s top 1% own more wealth than everyone else combined. And now, in 2016, the number of billionaires who share the wealth of the poorest half of the world is just 62.

Such growing extreme inequality is a warning sign that spells disaster for millions, as surely as any weather forecast. In rich and poor countries alike, it is holding back the global fight against poverty.

Though the world has made great strides in increasing
people’s incomes over the last 15 years or so, The World Bank calculates that an extra 200 million people could have been brought out of poverty had we also tackled inequality. We have always known that some people are poor while others are rich. What we increasingly understand is that some people are poor because others are rich.

Extreme inequality threatens the very notion that we are “One Humanity”. More unequal societies have been shown to have lower levels of social trust and lead to poorer health. Inequality breeds violence and thwarts gender equality and the rights of women. Extreme inequality does not just mean that someone has a yacht while someone else does not. It means that the world’s poorest people are condemned to live shorter, harder and unhappier lives and to have quite different experiences of being human.

It also threatens the idea of “One Earth”. While we all share this planet, what we take from it differs wildly. The poorest half of the world’s population – 3.6 billion people – are responsible for just 10% of carbon emissions. In contrast, the world’s richest 10% produce around half. It would take the average person in sub-Saharan Africa 180 years to register the same emissions as the average American in one single year.

Our response to these slow onset crises – of both inequality and climate change – must be to reawaken some values that have been sadly all too dormant in the last 30 years of human history: values overshadowed by the perceived virtues of individualism, competition and even the notion that “greed is good”, which have dominated recent political and economic thinking.

Our economic model has been distorted to benefit a privileged minority. In this “economy of the 1%”, wealth is sucked up rather than trickling down. We strive for ever greater growth that leaves the poorest behind, and cheer for rising GDP, but we ignore the unmeasured price we pay as we burn and chop and extract beyond our planetary boundaries. We fail to even mention the hours of unpaid work, mostly done by women, that keep us all alive and healthy. We allow an elite group to use their extreme wealth to influence governments and policies that perpetuate and increase their dominance, at the expense of the rest.

But we are not helpless. We made this economy and we can unmake it. Instead we can strive for a more human economy, one based on values of collective action to solve problems, and of responsibility to each other and to future generations.

Businesses should thrive in this human economy. But we need to shift to new models that show as much concern for workers, customers and the communities that support them as for shareholders and executive boards. That includes ensuring decent jobs for fair wages and contributing their fair share of tax everywhere that they operate.

And while this is about rediscovering lost values, it is not about going backwards. Too often new technology is feared because it will mean job losses for workers and the further accrual of wealth to those who own the machines. But technology must be a major part of a human economy. It is a great liberator and problem solver, if access can be shared.

Ultimately, a human economy recognises that economic calculations are only a part of the picture. An economy is just one way to describe how we want to live together, and values-based politics and good governance need to play a greater part.

Governments that shy away from actively regulating and directing the economy to reduce inequality and deliver sustainable, equitable growth are not being neutral: they are allowing a small group of the very rich and powerful to take control. Accountable, democratic government is the most powerful equalising force that humanity has ever invented. Nurturing, creative government is a force for cooperation and innovation. A human economy has an active government at its heart.

For a thousand years, from the Peasants’ Revolt, from the Diggers to the Chartists, from Thomas Paine to William Blake, Britain’s history is one that has championed values of fairness, challenged extreme wealth, and set out the right to a more economically equal world.

In the words of Gerrard Winstanley, the leader of the Diggers, “Was the Earth made to preserve a few covetous, proud men to live at ease, and for them to bag and barn up the treasures of the Earth from others, that these may beg or starve in a fruitful land; or was it made to preserve all her children?”

To meet the challenges of the future, let us remember these lessons from the past.

Mark Goldring is a participant at the Resurgence 50th anniversary event One Earth, One Humanity, One Future taking place at Worcester College, Oxford, from 22nd - 25th September 2016.

Band members

Peter Iwers - Bassguitar
Jesper Stromblad - Guitars
Anders Friden - Vocals

melodic death metal

It was the year 1990, Jesper decided to take leave of the band Ceremonial Oath, that he was currently in, together with Anders Fridén and Anders Iwers( Tiamat) He wanted to make music in a different direction, and he teamed up with Johan Larsson and Glenn Ljungström to form IN FLAMES. The gang made a demo and shipped it off to Wrong Again records in order to get a record-deal, which they did. The owner of the company enjoyed the music so much that he immediately gave them a deal over the phone, as they rang him up one night, while drinking. He asked them if they had more songs, other than the three they had sent him, and they lied and said : Yes, we have 14 songs. The next day, they sat down and wrote the album Lunar Strain, which was released some time later, and became a big underground success. They had some "in and out members" , and borrowed some from different bands. People that have been a part off IN FLAMES since the beginning, are Mikael Stanne and Anders Jivarp ( Dark Tranquillity), Anders Iwers ( Tiamat), Henke Forss ( Dawn), Daniel Erlandsson (Eucharist, Arch Enemy), and a few more.

The band then released a mini-cd called Subterranean, that became the "breaker" for IN FLAMES, in terms of getting out off the underground scene, that is, and led them to get a license deal with German company Nuclear Blast for the next record, and they have been there since then.

After some time, the boys were getting tired of constantly borrowing peole in order to make a record, or do a decent live show, and they asked Anders Fridén and Björn Gelotte to join the band, on vocals and drums, and they accepted. IN FLAMES were for the first time a band with a real line up.

They recorded and released yet another record . The Jester Race, which became a huge success, worldwide, and the band started to get some fantastic attention all over Europe, and in Japan, where they were licensed to Toy´s Factory. They went on a festival tour together with Samael, Grip inc. And Kreator - this was the first big thing that happened to them, but definetly not the last. Some gigs here and there over the next year, led to both Johan and Glenn feeling that they had to make a choice where their prioritees were , and sadly, they choose not be a part of IN FLAMES any more. They both announced, unexpectedly after the recording of Whoracle, that they were leaving, and Björn, Jesper and Anders were left with a finished record and half a band.

Luckily they were good friends with Peter Iwers and Niklas Engelin, who both happened to play bass and guitar, and they filled in at the end of the recordings, to do a mini-tour with Dimmu Borgir. This worked out fine and the two gentlemen were asked to stay in the band permanently, and so they did. Together the group continued onto a successful tour in Europé and an amazing week in Japan, where they did their first two shows. Japan welcomed the Swedes with warm arms, and they had an amazing experience.

As they return to Sweden, Niklas leaves the band, due to some different opinions, and the fact that he wanted to focus on Gardenian, his other band. This is the turning point for IN FLAMES, as they decide to switch Björn from drums to guitar, (being a guitarplayer originally), and recruit Daniel Svensson ( Sacrilige) on Drums. This works out wonderful, and they record COLONY, the biggest success so far.

The Colonization takes them around the world, to Europe, USA and Japan, and this tour is an amazing experience for IN FLAMES, that finally receives the attention they´ve been waiting for. As they play full houses almost everywhere, the party goes on for a few months, and the response is excellent all over the world.

Next off is the release of their new album CLAYMAN, together with another spin around the world.

This time - all over .

My Key Take-Aways from the Cleantech Innovation Summit 2014

"There's more optimism than ever for cleantech,"according to Raj Atluru of SilverLake Kraftwerk.

Atluru was speaking at the Cleantech Innovation Summit in Newport Beach, California last week.

His was not the only optimism to be heard on the dais, in the breakout rooms, and in the halls. In fact, it seemed optimism was at an all-time high after several years of a perpetual negativity death-spiral.

The optimism comes, in part, from the announcement of NEST's acquisition last month by Google for $3.2 billion. That certainly changed the mood.

Yet also because there are other successes to point to, including Tesla -- whose stock surged in after hours trading on Wednesday after the company announced increased production of the Model S -- and Solar City and others that seem to be riding the current wave of good sentiment for the sector.

In addition, there is the growing understanding that we'd been talking about "cleantech" all wrong before.

As Brook Porter of Kleiner Perkins said on his panel, "Cleantech is not a sector, cleantech is an attribute."

And that's exactly how others seem to be looking at it today. The buzzphrase at the Cleantech Innovation Summit was "Cleantech Done Right," rather than Cleantech 2.0.

"What Nest proved is that 'sexy' and 'cleantech' can belong in the same sentence," said Andrew Chung of Khosla Ventures. Tesla does too, with its emphasis on design, and making the best car possible, not just the best electric car.

Companies like Nest and OPower make energy data more personal, and as with Tesla, design and ease of use for consumers helps drive their success. But as much as it is about design, it is also about data.

And that points to a not-so-subtle shift in the way investors are talking about cleantech, if they're even mentioning the term.

It's now all about big data, collaborative consumption, sustainability, waste-to-value, and food production. These are new cleantech investment areas and, as RockPort Capital's Abe Yokell said, "The data rich world of our future is ripe with investment opportunities."

Meanwhile, water issues continue to bubble-up as potential areas of risk and need, especially around shale gas development. Water recycling, reuse, and clean-up is all essential for companies focused on fracking for bountiful natural gas.

"We need to do more with less: less water, less trucks, less impact," said Steven Hall of Schlumberger.

Jeff Guild of BlueTech Research confirmed the need for investment in water, citing energy from wastewater, nutrient recovery, and reuse as key investment areas.

As for utilities, Thomas Brill of San Diego Gas & Electric suggested utilities need to look at how Canon addressed the challenge of digital photography versus how Kodak reacted or how Verizon pivoted from hard assets to wireless services. "There are lessons there for utilities," said Brill.

The challenges to big utilities from renewables appear to be very real and can no longer be ignored.

"Solar is freaking us out," said Colleen Calhoun of GE Ventures, "It is growing so fast, it is getting so big."

Calhoun added that when she talks to GE's CEO Jeff Immelt, they talk about "solar, energy storage, and oil and gas -- drilling deeper, farther offshore."

A mystery remains about how energy storage will contribute to the mix, but Cheryl Martin of ARPA-E had some encouraging things to say about the agency's progress on that front.

"We're finally going to make grid-level storage a reality," Martin told the audience in her keynote.

And energy efficiency technologies -- beyond consumer solutions like Nest and OPower -- are increasingly gaining traction.

"Building automation was a $35 billion business in 2012," according to Will Coleman of OnRamp Capital. "And it's only going to grow."

The question from a commercial building perspective seems to be how to replicate what Nest accomplished with design, user interface, and distribution. How does one translate that success to commercial buildings?

Having problems like that to solve are what leads to innovation, and perhaps that's another reason for investor optimism at the Cleantech Innovation Summit this year.

America's Killer Clown

Main body

Beginning in 1972, Chicago, Illinois native John Wayne Gacy killed 33 young males, burying most under his home.  Although he usually lured his victims with the promise of construction work, he often dressed as his alter ego "Pogo the Clown" for parties.  Rejecting his insanity defense, a jury found Gacy guilty in 1980, and he received 12 death penalty and 21 life sentences. He was executed by lethal injection on May 10, 1994.

The video and quiz for this case will be made available during the 2018-2019 school year.

NZ Performance Car editor Marcus Gibson made the trip down to Tauranga’s Baypark Speedway on January 17–18 to check out round three of D1NZ

Tauranga’s Baypark Speedway pits are usually filled on a Saturday night with speedway cars battling it out in the adjacent quarter-mile dirt oval, but for one weekend each summer the Demon Energy D1NZ National Drifting Championship instead transforms the pits into a battlefield. The concrete-lined Baypark is one of two custom tracks this season, and is unique as it is the only left-hand-entry and concrete-surfaced venue.

The two-day event played out in perfect weather conditions that offered plenty of traction, as the surfaced rubbered up on day one.

Hometown-hero Cole Armstrong sat atop the bunch with a first-run score of 88.5 thanks to a wild and exciting run, followed by Rockstar Energy’s Joe Kukutai, who seemed to pull off manoeuvres unmatched by anyone else.

Cole’s road to the final would not be an easy one. He had to face Bruce Tannock, Shane Van Gisbergen, Curt Whittaker, and Darren Kelly before facing off against returning round-winner Andrew Redward in the final. Andrew had defeated Dave Steedman, Daynom Templeman, and Gaz Whiter, to set up a battle between Gaz Whiter and Darren Kelly for third and fourth. Gaz took the win after Darren made some mistakes, running too shallow on his chase lap.

It was then time to crown a round winner in front of the packed Tauranga crowd, but the dream battle was cut short when Andrew’s Club Auto FC RX-7 sheared an axle. He later explained to NZPC, “We blew the half shaft, it was not the best way to end the final battle, especially after lasting all day and happening then, it was a real bummer.”

The team didn’t throw the towel in straight away though, taking the allotted five minutes to swap the axle over. “We got the spare in with about 50 seconds to go, but went to put the nut on the end of the hub and the threads were crossed, so we couldn’t get it done in time,” Andrew explained.

He was unable to make the grid, which handed Cole his first D1NZ round win, driving his new V Energy 350GT.

The car had not missed a beat all weekend, after a frustrating debut this season when a few teething issues plagued the Dodge Nascar engine, as Cole explained, “We have gone to injection, these engines usually have a carb on there. We had a trigger mount that was suffering vibration at high rpm and shutting the motor down on us. The boys from E&H Motors sorted that problem, and then at Drift Shifters I did an oil change and thought 13 litres would be ample, but it needed another two, so we were having oil-pressure surges. Something so simple, but so bad that it could have wrecked the car. We think we have all the gremlins sorted and the car is now on song. It’s got oodles of lock, Richard from Green Brothers corner-weighted the car and found out that it was on bump stops, so he modified all the pick-up points, and now we have great drive out of the car. You have to get the balance between drive, grip, and power, and I think we have finally got that. We still think there is much more that we can get out of this car, but we are just so happy that it’s working so well, and that we have finally got the result.”

All was not lost for Redward, who walked away from round three now leading the championship, and 2.5 points clear of Darren Kelly.

Heading into the second half of the season it looks as if it will be a tight championship finish, with plenty of drivers still in the running to take the 2014–’15 DK title. The D1NZ circus now moves to Hampton Downs Motorsport Park for round four on February 20–21.

Check out the audio link to hear Cole give more information on his Skyline set-up and a gallery of the round below.

Marcus Gibson

Marcus Gibson has spent his life getting a little grease under his fingernails growing up with a fascination for all things loud, fast, and low. Growing up during the boom of the import scene, the last ten years have seen him work for a few publications, as well as running his own website before taking up a role at NZ Performance Car in 2011. Marcus is as at home with a keyboard or camera in-hand as he is getting dirty in his workshop or at the track, championing that Kiwi DIY attitude.

Heading back to where time attack all started in New Zealand, the Taupo Short Track was the spot to be for round three of the Prowear NZ Superlap Series. The Replay XD NZ- and NZ Performance Car-supported event was held on the weekend of February 28–March 1

Pro Open saw Scott Kreyl pilot his way to the front of the pack in the Team RevolutioNZ’s Hell Racing Evo with a comfortable time of 1:10.920, which was also the fastest time of the day. The battle for second and third was a close one with Hans Ruiterman coming out on top in the E&H Motors’ Silvia with a time of 1:13.009, closely followed by Daniel Currie in his series debut with a time of 1:13.162 in the Garden City Helicopters’ WRX.

Leon Scott unfortunately suffered minor engine problems in the Hyper Tyres / ST Hitec Evo, but still managed to secure fourth place with a time of 1:16.922. Rounding up the pack was Chris Parker in the Rips Racing / ECCE Skyline with a time of 1:17.613, closely followed by Craig Benton in his Richmond Barr Electrical WRX with a time of 1:18.191.

Pro Street also saw some fast times around the track. Karl Patterson had the fourth fastest time overall, and took out the class with a time of 1:16.292 in his Team RevolutioNZ / Shaft Automotive Evo. Kat Benson was close behind, after suffering engine problems throughout the day, and ended up with a time of 1:19.426 in the Burgerfuel Evo.

Street class saw Colin Abah take out first in the JTune Honda S2000. After a few transponder issues, he ended up with a time of 1:18.375. Morris Mustchin (also in his series debut) got his Subaru V7 around the track in a time of 1:27.549. Rounding up Street class was Kaz Kostiuk-Warren, who only managed to get out for one session in his BMW 325i, with a time of 1:40.412. Shamil Arachchie could only make Saturday so came in at fourth place with a time of 2:15.133 on the long track.

The next round is coming up soon at Manfeild Raceway on March 22, 2015. This round will be part of the 2015 V 4&Rotary Jamboree. It’s set to be a huge event so get your entries in now over at nzsuperlap.co.nz!

New Hog Barn Applications Expected this Fall

02 November 2015
Manitoba Pork Council

Farm-Scape is sponsored by
Manitoba Pork Council and Sask Pork

FarmScape is a Wonderworks Canada production and is distributed courtesy of Manitoba Pork Council
and Sask Pork.

CANADA - Manitoba Pork is hopeful the first applications for permits to build new or expand existing hog barns under a new pilot project will come in this fall, writes Bruce Cochrane.

In April the Manitoba government approved the "Pig Production Special Pilot Project Evaluation Protocol" under which pork producers can apply to build new or expand existing swine barns.

Mike Teillet, the manager of sustainable development programs with Manitoba Pork, told those attending Manitoba Pork's 2015 fall producer meetings, since there have been almost no barns built in the last 6 or 7 years in Manitoba, production has fallen and the Maple Leaf plant in Brandon in particular has seen a shortage of pigs so it was critical to get those pig numbers back up.

Mike Teillet-Manitoba Pork:

There was always a long list of regulatory requirements in order to construct a barn and certainly in order to operate a hog farm in Manitoba.

Under the new protocol, the new pilot project, we agreed to a number of different things in order to allow barns to be built, that's over and above the existing requirements.

They include new soil phosphorus limits of 60 parts per million.

It includes manure having to be injected or incorporated within 48 hours.

One of the things required was that no new barn construction could occur into a couple of municipalities, that's Hanover and La Broquerie.

There could be new barn construction and expansion west of the Red River.

East of the Red River, other than those 2 municipalities, were allowed to expand but not build new.
There are some other requirements but those are some of the major ones.

Mr Teillet says since April there have been a number of enquires but, so far, there have been no applications for permits but the expectation is that the first applications under the new protocol will come in this fall.

Anyone interested in building or expanding a hog barn under the protocol is encouraged to contact Manitoba Pork for more information.

HP warns over OpenView flaw

arrow pointing up

Enterprise users are been urged to apply workarounds following the discovery of a potentially troublesome vulnerability involving a component of HP's widely used network management suite, HP OpenView. A security bug in Network Node Manager opens the door to possible hacker attack, according to work by security researchers at Portcullis Computer Security and NGS Software.

Network Node Manager (NNM) allows networks managers to monitor and control the operation of network devices. The flaw creates a means for hackers to execute potentially malicious shell commands by exploiting inadequate input checks involving scripts (e.g. cgi-bin/connectedNodes.ovpl) used by various versions of NNM. The vulnerability affects versions 6.2, 6.4, 7.01, and 7.50 of OpenView NNM running on HP-UX, Solaris, Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Linux systems.

Exploitation is far from trivial. Nonetheless HP advises users to apply a workaround which involves moving affected scripts - connectedNodes.ovpl, cdpView.ovpl, freeIPaddrs.ovpl and ecscmg.ovpl - to another directory. HP's advisory is available from its customer support web site here (customer registration required). Security clearing house Secunia has a useful summary here. ®

Google may drop Intel for own-recipe ARM: Bloomberg

Chipzilla vs. Chocolate Factory battle could transform the data centre

Google is considering new ARM-based designs for its home-brewed servers, according to Bloomberg.

The financial newswire's report is sketchy, offering the observation that Google “ is considering designing its own server processors using technology from ARM Holdings Plc” together with a quote from Google spokesdroid Liz Markman to the effect that “We are actively engaged in designing the world’s best infrastructure. This includes both hardware design (at all levels) and software design.”

The report also says Google is Intel's fifth-largest customer. If the advertising and cloud computing company were to move to Arm Chipzilla would not be pleased.

The wider repercussions of the move would be even more significant. In recent years ARM CPUs have become fast, cheap and – very importantly – miserly power users and very careful emitters of heat. The latter two qualities make a big difference for those who run servers at scale, some of whom are wondering if ARM servers could help their bottom lines.

The X86 camp dismisses such thinking. VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger articulated that position nicely at Vmworld 2013 , where engaged in a spirited debate with Marc Andreessen on the topic. Here's how that conversation played out:

Andreessen thinks Intel's high-margin data centre business is ripe for disruption, not least because ARM is already making inroads into the data centre among users who value the lower acquisition and operating costs it offers. That ARM CPUs are now ubiquitous in mobile devices helps, as the possibility of a homogenous stack is tempting as more and more services target portable gadgetry.

Gelsinger fired back that x86 enjoys an enormous lead in terms of drivers, partnerships with the likes of VMware and the other niceties needed to run a data centre, and that the lead is effectively unassailable. “Even if you reduced the power consumption of ARM CPUs to zero,” x86 will still win, he said.

Andreessen's response was that Linux on ARM is pretty mature. And getting more mature, in all likelihood.

If Google were to adopt ARM it would have to do a lot of work filling in some of the blanks Gelsinger describes above. Then there's also the small problem of building a team to design the silicon and someone to bake it, all of which would make any move a year or three away.

But that delay would also give the Chocolate Factory plenty of time to code ARM-ready software. Google's lightweight server designs mean it would not need to do things like write drivers for obscure host bus adapters that would make ARM servers a better proposition for smaller shops, but an open server design would mean others could do that kind of grunt work.

It's therefore not hard to imagine that Google could catalyse a community interested in running ARM servers at scale, or in smaller IT shops.

Such a scenario would be far worse news for Intel than merely losing a few million CPU sales each year.

The Bloomberg report hypothesises that Google might be airing an interest in ARM to get Intel's negotiators jumpy ahead of a new agreement between the pair. Intel is probably praying that's the case. ®

Durban businesswoman Shauwn Mpisane was punished for making a voluntary disclosure to the SA Revenue Service (Sars), the Durban Regional Court heard on Monday.

Mabongi Flora Junior Shauwn Mpisane is accused of inflating invoices by more than R5 million in a bid to cut her tax bill. She is also accused of violating the Close Corporations Act by remaining the sole member of Zikhulise Cleaning, Maintenance and Transport CC when she had a previous fraud conviction. She has pleaded not guilty.

Section 240A of the Tax Administration Act, 2011 (as amended) requires that all tax practitioners register with a recognized controlling body before 1 July 2013. It is a criminal offense to not register with both a recognized controlling body and SARS.

On behalf of everyone everywhere who runs a cash register as part of their job, I have a very simple request—STOP PUTTING SHIT IN YOUR MOUTH AND HANDING IT TO ME!!! This means credit cards, cash (do you want to get sick?!), whatever you are buying that I may have to touch, and anything else I haven't yet conceived of that you toxic monkeys are inclined to shove into an orifice and pass my way. Also, if you could not lick your fingers to separate the bills in your wallet, well, that would be super. To make all of this worse, I work at a hospital! Half of you dirty bastards spend the day lecturing people on health issues. Trust me, if I thought telling you off wouldn't cost me harassment from my bosses, I'd be lecturing you pretentious motherfuckers every day myself. Hypocritical bastards. recommended

Global Pension Disaster

We are never too old or too young to think about retirement. Everyone aims to have a stress-free retirement, free of financial burdens. Investing in retirement early gives you an edge, as you have more time to put away more money for your future.

However, it seems some demographics aren’t as well prepared for retirement as others. Millennials have been found to be the least interested in saving for their retirement. MarketWatch reported that 43% of millennials are without an employer-sponsored retirement plan, with the majority stating that they’re saving enough money without one. Although they are willing to save, merely saving money is not enough to cover costs to be incurred in the future.

“We should be doing everything in our power to empower more young workers to be able to do the saving that is going to be so important to their financial futures,” said Colin Seeberger, YI’s strategic campaign adviser.

However, investment requires strategic planning, especially for first-timers, to ensure you are gaining more while spending less. In this post, we will highlight mistakes you need to avoid when investing in your retirement.

Doing it on your own

Although it’s necessary to know the ins and outs of investments, especially knowing when to buy, sell, and hold onto your stocks and money, not everyone has the patience to understand all the technicalities of the process. Not everyone has the patience necessary for investments, thus seeking assistance from experts in the industry is certainly beneficial.

Do not handle your investments on your own and seek assistance from financial advisors or brokers. Ask these important questions to a financial advisor before procuring their services to fully understand if their mission is in line with your investment goals:
• How do you get paid for investments you recommend?
• What safeguards does your firm have in place to ensure that my assets are protected from fraud?
• What licenses, certifications and/or credentials do you have?
• Do you proactively send out rationale for buy/sell decisions?
• Will you be the only person working with me?
• How many new clients do you take on each year?

Having a hoarding mentality

One of the common behavioral biases that hurt investments is loss aversion, where people tend to feel the pain of loss more than the joys of gains. This reaction leads to a bigger problem called hoarding, where investors would rather hold onto their money rather than buy or sell stocks and investments to keep their portfolio running. In fear of losing more, they hoard their earnings and wait for the right time to act in the market.

Additionally, some experts suggest hoarding leads with bigger fees and interest rates that will eventually eat up all your hard-earned cash for retirement. Rather than hoarding, have a clear objective on where you see your money going and how much you should be willing to risk. It’s also important to set limits on how much you will be willing to risk to avoid continuously putting money on something that isn’t working.

Not focusing on future and long-term

Along with the process of reaching your retirement goals, there will be short-term fluctuations. Do not get overly distracted by it and work on how you can build a long-term, diversified portfolio. Checking your progress daily may affect your decision-making and confidence in investing.

There are economic changes that might take your attention away from your investment goals, such as Brexit affecting the value of the British pound and other economies. If you follow the news, FXCM reported that analysts foresee the currency to encounter more volatility as the UK government submits Article 50 and finalizes the exit process from the European Union. In fact, Reuters said that UK farmers are now holding onto cash and have started cutting their investments due to the uncertainty brought about by Brexit. This is exactly what shouldn’t happen if investors are more focused and confident in reaching their future wealth goals as it can cost them in the long run.

Long-term investments come with plenty of advantages to investors, such as:
• Paying less taxes
• Easy to correct your investing mistakes
• Avoid costly mistakes
• Passive investment is convenient
• Rate of return if boosted by stock dividends (if any)

Retiring without a plan

Retirement and investment both need clean and straight-to-the point plans and objectives. Apparently, millennials lack concrete retirement plans, as a study featured by CNBC said that young adults have unrealistic retirement goals. The article said that 15% of millennials believe that winning the lottery is a more viable retirement strategy, while 11% expect money to be “gifted” to them upon retirement. Many of them want to stick to their own saving processes, hoping it will be enough to cover their retirement costs. Wealth advisor Charles Sachs said this notion is a byproduct of millennials having lived through the Great Recession. When thinking of retirement, young adults need to understand that time is on their side. If they start early, they will be able to save and earn enough money to even retire early.

In fact, someone who starts saving at the age of 20 and retires by 66 can save as much as $2 million, while someone who starts at 25 and retires at 66 will only get about $1.3 million.

By avoiding these retirement investment blunders, you are ensuring a stress-free retirement, free from any financial problems. It’s a learning process, but you will get there eventually.

It's all fine and good to admire the female form, but the most important thing about a woman is something you can't see: her mind. We roll our eyes at the "sexy" mudflap girls that have been around since the 70s. Sure, she may look good, but can she hold her own in a conversation about the world economy? Can she quote Shakespeare, Moliere, and Gaiman? Can she calculate the square footage of a room without a calculator? Can she tell the difference between an ape, a chimp, and a monkey? That's the kind of stuff that we find sexy. Brains.

Proclaim your love for ladies who are book smart. This die-cut, silver vinyl sticker will adhere to windows or other smooth surfaces. The Smart Mudflap Girl is lounging around, hair casually pulled back in a ponytail, reading her favorite book. Is it A Dance with Dragons? Is she learning lines for a play? Learning a new language? Who knows! this sticker will look great on a notebook, locker, wall, window, or your vehicle. Like the symmetrical look? We have the Smart Mudflap girl facing in both directions, so you can put one on either side of your back window.

My 50 Favorite Movies -- Pulp Fiction (1994)

The year was 1994.  I was a sophomore at Regis.

I had recently been introduced to the Mecca that was the local all-girls high schools.  When you go to an all-guys high school, getting an "in" to your sister school was like finding the Holy Grail.

So there I was, with some newly minted friends from Marymount and the older Regis guys they hung out with, and they couldn't wait to see Pulp Fiction.  I was largely unaware of what I was going to see.  In fact, I remember being largely unaware of a lot of cool pop cultural stuff at the time, aside from what I heard on Z100 or from my Brooklyn friends.  I remember in freshmen year being told who the Ramones were by this girl Veronica I met at a Regis dance.  The Ramones!   What a sheltered life.

Anyway, Pulp Fiction was, by far, the coolest thing I'd ever seen on the screen.  It was edgy, creative, and totally unlike anything else.  I must have easily seen it ten times in the movie theater... also because it played FOREVER.  You could always find it playing somewhere in the city.

Pulp Fiction marked the resurrection of John Travolta's career as well.  He'd just come off the second sequal of "Look Who's Talking"... (yes, they made THREE of those movies) and hadn't done much since... well, since the early 80's.

Another first.... it was also the first time was saw all this mix and matching with storylines that were out of order and tied back into each other.  When I saw that the diner scene tied back into itself, I was really wowed.

All the characters...   well, they're all just so fantastic and how many lines from this movie just got repeated over and over again?   "Check out the big brain on ______."   From Pumpkin and Honeybunny to Jules to the Wolf, the casting is kind of like watching art.

And its got a Christopher Walken monologue...  This scene is just hilarious.  "And I hid the watch..."

There isn't one thing I would have done differently with this movie.  I love every character.  Every scene is art.  Every line is so carefully constructed.  It was part of growing up for me.  I owned the soundtrack, too...  great soundtrack.  Everyone my age had it.

I think of this list like the Hall of Fame, but some of the movies are like Babe Ruth and Ty Cobb.  They're just on another level that would be a list of like 5 or 10 or something and not make for much interesting comparison.  Pulp Fiction is on that list, Shawshank, and few others.  Truly greay.

Are you shopping for floor tiles either for your home or business? Do you wish you could decrypt the information that the manufacturers list on the product packaging? Let’s take a look at the following information.

What’s in a rating of floor tiles?

The tile packaging lists a water absorption rating. If you understand this rating, it will help you know if the tile can go next to the pool, outside in the rain, in the bathroom or only in a dry area. There are four water absorption (W.A.) ratings. Like most things, scientific names are used so that in order to understand what it is, you need to use a dictionary before purchasing your floor tiles. But for ease of clarification, please see below:

Impervious means the tile absorbs less than 0.5% of its own weight when it meets with water.
Vitreous is a tile that absorbs between 0.5% to 3% of its own weight in water.
Semiviteous means tiles which soak up 3% to 5% of their own weight in water.
Non vitreous is where a tile absorbs more than 7% of its own weight in water.

Based on these ratings, it’s easy to know which tiles are appropriate for bathrooms where there is a high moisture content and which tiles are appropriate for dry areas only.

Another rating is the COF or coefficient of friction. This indicates the traction you get when walking on the tile. The lower the number, the more slippery the tile is. This rating is important to take note of if you are looking to tile an area that might get wet, like a bathroom.

An additional rating is the PEI (porcelain enamel institute) rating. This rating lets you know how much traffic and abrasion the tile can handle. The higher the number, the stronger the tile and the more traffic it can withstand. A PEI rating of I and II are appropriate for use as wall tiles only. These tiles often are decorative and cannot withstand foot traffic. However, tiles that are rated above 3 or 4 are generally considered overkill for a residential home.

Now you are equipped to start or continue shopping for your floor tiles. Why not visit Tile Factory Outlet. We have a huge range of floor tiles with over 60,000m2 of tiles ready for immediate pick up. You are sure to find floor tiles that you will love. Visit our showroom and speak with our experienced staff about all your tiling needs.

Battle in High Gear Over Dennis Hopper Estate

6/16/2010 7:50 PM PDT

Battle in High Gear Over Dennis Hopper Estate

A dogfight is shaping up over Dennis Hopper's estate ... and an unintended victim could be his 7-year-old daughter Galen.

We've learned lawyers for Victoria Hopper and Dennis' estate met last Friday to try and hash out an agreement -- to no avail.  We're told the people in control of the estate -- the trustees -- want to kick Victoria and Galen off of Dennis' property immediately, but Victoria refuses to go.

As for dividing up the spoils of the estate, we've learned Dennis Hopper drafted an amendment to his estate plan back in March, in which he effectively tried to cut down Galen's share from 40% to 25%.  Under California law, however, the amendment may not be valid, because changes to an estate plan are severely restricted when a divorce is pending.

And we've learned the lawyers have already drawn the battle lines over Victoria's cut in the estate -- she believes she's entitled to 25% ... the estate believes she should get zippo.

M.I.A. Can't Go AWOL With Son, Ex Gets Restraining Order

3/14/2013 5:45 AM PDT

Rapper M.I.A. -- Can't Go AWOL With Son After Ex Gets Restraining Order

Breaking News

better love Brooklyn ... 'cause the rapper's been banned from leaving the borough with her son ... courtesy of a court order obtained by her filthy rich baby daddy, Benjamin Bronfman.

M.I.A. was reportedly threatening to take her 4-year-old boy Ikhyd to England, her home country ... until Benjamin -- son of Seagram's billionaire Edgar Bronfman Jr. -- was granted a temporary restraining order in a King's County (aka Brooklyn) court earlier this week.

Bronfman and M.I.A. were never married, but split up last year. They both live in Brooklyn, separately, and little Ikhyd goes to school there.

The NY Post first reported the TRO ... which is latest battle in what appears to be an ongoing custody war between M.I.A. and Bronfman.

The rapper has tweeted in the past accusing Bronfman's family of trying “to take my child away from me.”

Natural ways to get rid of warts

A wart is a fleshy, small bump on caused when your skin comes in contact with the HPV virus. They are painful and highly contagious. Sometimes, warts can heal without any outer remedy but the stubborn ones need immediate treatment. More than the healing creams found in the chemist stores, natural methods are inexpensive and more useful for effective warts removal.

Aloe Vera

Break a leaf from an Aloe Vera plant if you have one. Apply the gel to the affected area and cover it immediately. Fresh, directly from the left is the best. Malic acid present in Aloe Vera speeds the process of healing.

Tea tree oil

Natural oils have been used for various treatments for centuries. The tea tree oil has many benefits and curing warts is one of them. Apply directly on the wart and cover with a bandage. Cloves can be applied with tea tree oil for faster healing.

Baking powder and castor oil

Mix baking powder and castor oil creating a paste. Apply this paste and wrap and cloth around it. Let it stay the whole night and repeat daily.

Pineapple is a huge source of enzymes and natural acids that could help reduce warts. Apply freshly cut pineapple on the affected area. Repeat it several times daily.

Prevention from spreading

Warts are highly contagious, i.e. they can easily spread through touch. This means that not only could it pass on to another person but if you have it one place, you could easily pass it on to some other part of your body. One way to prevent against this is to never touch the wart and always keeping it bandaged or closed. If at all you touch the wart, then always wash your hands before touching any other part of your body.

Another prevention method is hygiene. Always maintaining a high level of personal hygiene is absolutely crucial. Not sharing personal items like toothbrush, comb, towels, razors etc., always wearing footwear at all times, are also some other ways that could keep warts in check.

The main cause of warts is a virus entering your body and attacking the immune system. So the best way would not only be taking care of the superficial remedies but try making your body stronger from within, to fight the virus. Include immunity boosters in your daily diet like Vitamin C and zinc.

Have you Heard of the Term Organic Cooking?

Have you Heard of the Term Organic Cooking?

Well what is organic cooking? This term refers to cooking done with all organic ingredients using the best of the organic food to create tasty and very healthy dishes. This is possible today, because in many places all over the globe, people are waking to the requirement of consuming organic food. The market is now promoting diet foods, low fat foods, etc. However, these are not at all necessary if we eat good organic food and we eat in moderation everything that we get in our daily routine. There are many ways to promote good organic cooking and the next few lines will attempt to describe a few simple ways:

Use normal salt not the standard iodized salt that we have been using for ages. Use instead natural sea salt or fleur de sel and notice the difference in the food you are eating. The flavor of the food is far enhanced by this simple addition.

Have a kitchen garden behind the house or side where you can grow your own vegetables the whole year round. A small 8×10 patch can cultivate sufficient vegetables to last a family of 4-6 the whole year. In this way you not only save some cash, you get to eat your home-grown vegetables which are guaranteed to be fresh.

Use only organic ingredients like vegetables, fruit, and all other ingredients like butter, herbs, etc. It is splendid to know that you can consume only fresh ingredients which have been hand-picked for you lunch or dinner.

Do not use the microwave as the microwave can distort the taste of the vegetables or fruit to a great extent; in order to really check this fact, you could really use your microwave to cook something and then you cook the same thing on an open flame. Taste and mark the difference in taste; the taste on the open flame is far more flavor-full than the one cooked in the microwave.

Use organic butter, milk and other related ingredients as there is a marked difference between butter that is produced out the milk of cows that have only grazed on grass; and those cows which were treated with hormones and food fertilizers.

Use easy techniques to cook organically and improve on the taste of the food while still maintaining the nutritional value of the vegetables on the fire; you need to take care and reduce the water content slowly enhancing the flavor while ensuring that nothing is really wasted into the air or water in which the vegetables are cooked in.

Do not use any additional preservatives. Whenever you need a preservative you should only use natural preservatives. Also whenever you need something that requires preservation, use the natural way to do, so with ingredients like lemon juice, salt, sugar, honey, etc. In this way you can have your food preserved and it will last as long, or may be longer than the chemically preserved ones and you are now assured that you are consuming only the goodness of the earth.

Scott Byers is the owner of All Organic Diet, an organic food blog all about the benefits of organic foods.

 X factor | Tony Brassington

X factor

In the UK the X factor is a television program. The X stands for an indefinable “something” that makes for star quality. But in success you will also find an X factor, in the rare person that can succeed where others have failed, in that rare person that beats all the odds that were against them, in that rare person that keeps on trying when the end is not in sight. These people have an X factor and maybe you do too.

Upstart Roberto Castro crashes with 15-shot swing at Players Championship

By , Special to Toronto Sun

First posted:

How quickly a 63 to tie the course record at one of the most renowned venues in golf becomes yesterday’s news. Maybe even incentive for the marquee names who, like Roberto Castro did on Thursday, hoped to feast on the gentle morning conditions at TPC Sawgrass.

By the time the previously unknown Castro took his first tee shot at 12:56 p.m. on Friday at the Players Championship, he already knew the three-shot lead he had built with his stunning 63 the day before had evaporated.

So what have you done lately, Mr. Castro?

He hinted that it might be a strong day when he birdied the second hole, but after a par on the third, Castro bogeyed four of the next five holes to start a downward spiral that left him with a 78, a 15-shot swing that leaves him at three under.

Earlier, Sergio Garcia had a remarkable string of five consecutive birdies on the front nine and finished with eight overall against just one bogey for a 65 and is alone in first at 11-under, with Tiger Woods just one shot back after his second consecutive 67.

Kevin Chappell, with seven missed cuts in 12 events so far, replaces Castro as the sacrificial lamb among the big dogs in the yard going into Saturday. After his 69-66 performance, he’s tied at nine under with Lee Westwood and Swede Henrik Stenson, the 2009 winner at Sawgrass.

The bad news for Chappell and any other upstart is that

a sense of normalcy is returning to a tournament that hasn’t always provided predictable champs.

This season, at times, hasn’t been predictable, with the exception being Woods and his three wins thus far. A win this week would all but cement player of the year for him unless one of the other marquee names can step up, which they haven’t done consistently in 2013.

Tiger is showing no rust from his time off since the Masters and says he’s happy with every facet of his game. It’s not hard to see why.

Woods’ eagle on the second hole on Friday was his seventh of the season compared to four all of last year. He also drained three putts from over 10 feet on Friday, so his putting isn’t cooling off on a course he traditionally doesn’t play well.

Now, he has players with credentials who have the opportunity to shut him down, but the question this weekend will be are they up to the task with Woods lurking so close to the top?

A win for Garcia would be his second Players Championship and his ninth PGA Tour win.

His 65 Friday matched his career low at the Players, where he’s made 10 consecutive cuts, and he has 13 birdies over his first 36 holes with just two bogeys, so he’s on fire.

Westwood, a former world No. 1, said he wasn’t going to come out too aggressively on Friday, but then he struck for an eagle on his second hole of the day and added four more birdies. He’s bogey-free over the first 36 holes.

Also within four shots of the lead are Masters champ Adam Scott, Zach Johnson, Hunter Mahan and Matt Kuchar, who is gunning to become the first player to successfully defend a Players Championship after his 66 on Friday, among others.

Saturday is critical to stopping what could be a Tiger juggernaut. He’s used his traditional blueprint to get into position for a run at the top by the end of the third round and, if he gets there, it’s no secret how tough it will be to stop him from taking it the rest of the way.

The rest of the way doesn’t just mean the Players Championship. The way he’s been playing, it could be an omen of what’s to come the rest of the season.

You have to feel sorry for Vijay Singh. How will he pay his legal bills after missing the cut at Sawgrass? Judging from reaction, he’s subjected himself to more ridicule by launching his lawsuit against the tour than what came from the deer antler spray investigation ... Vintage Tiger: He has played the four par-5s at Sawgrass at four under each of his first two days ... Usually, it’s all or nothing at 17 Sawgrass, but reigning U.S. Open champ Webb Simpson found a way to birdie the famous hole without hitting the island green. Simpson was lucky not to dunk his shot when it landed in a pot bunker to the side and he holed out from there before finishing with 71. Simpson is six under for the tournament, five shots back ... Marc Leishman became only the fourth player in the history of the tournament, but the second this week, to eagle the 18th hole when he holed his 172-yard approach shot. Jason Dufner eagled 18 in the first round when he sunk his 158-yard approach ... Dustin Johnson has withdrawn due to a lower back injury after shooting a two-over 74 in the first round. Johnson decided not to play last week’s Wells Fargo Championship due to a wrist injury. He also chose not to play the recent Ballantine’s Championship in South Korea due to potential unrest in that country ... Both Canadians in the field made the cut as Graham DeLaet shot a 70 and is at two under and David Hearn had a 71 and is one under ... The weather report has gotten a little dicier with about a 50-50 chance of thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday in Ponte Vedra.
