Permit me a long and rambling introduction. I spent much of August reading, and in some cases re-reading, the works of the distributists, particularly Hilaire Belloc [see my short essay on The Servile State]. The way distributism is often presented is as a "third way" between socialism and the current economic order. I say "the current economic order" because we don't have laissez-faire capitalism and we are far from it. Rather, what we have is a dirty mixture somewhere between state control and state-privileged corporate control of the means of production and much else, which some call crony capitalism or corporatism.
Distributists like the great Joseph Pearce argue that both socialism and "capitalism" are forms of proletarianism, the former by political means and the latter by economic means.
Now, to make myself clear from the outset: I am not a distributist. While very sympathetic to their general outlook and their analysis of the current economic order – and who can argue with their vision of an ideal economy and society, being one based on independence and the widespread ownership of capital? – I wince at their tendency to sound openly anti-market. Indeed, rather than making a strictly libertarian case against state-privileged big business, which is made by the likes of Kevin Carson, some distributists instead can tend to favour big government almost as an end in itself. Rather than recognising that, while "small is beautiful", some firms can grow large naturally, they seem to endorse coercion against all firms above a certain size whereas the libertarian answer to this question is just to remove state privilege. Some big businesses will undoubtedly suffer, but some will survive. But what my reading made me think about was something along the lines of "the third way." I will return to this idea later in the essay.
As a further set of introductory remarks, I should make it clear that I do not at all buy into the Whig interpretation of history, and especially not Fukuyama's End of History hypothesis, whose truth has until recently been almost universally accepted.
Simply to state this position at the moment seems to suffice as a refutation of it. Liberal democracies are quite obviously not working. Whether the problem is terrorism, the national debt, poverty, cultural collapse, endless foreign wars, or the Police State, the current political setup is no good at all. What is more, people do seem to be waking up to the fact that what we have – liberal democracy – is nothing to do with "liberalism", but is everything to do with globalism, i.e. government policies, whether on economics or foreign policy, determined internationally, to advance the interests of a corrupt international elite hostile to the existence, or the perceived existence, of nations.
The answer to the conundrum of how such a perfect system can be so imperfect is that we do not have such a perfect system. In many ways, we have neither "progressed" nor "regressed" since the 1930s. This decade is of course known for the ideologies of socialism and fascism, one seen as on the Left and the other on the Right. We have been going to and fro from socialism to fascism since then in various forms, neglecting liberalism, nationalism, or Toryism entirely. Of course, socialism has come in various incarnations: equality of outcome, opportunity, anti-discrimination, democracy etc. Fascism too has come in different guises: corporatism, cronyism, militarism etc. We, since the 1939 war, we have been pulled in these two directions, sometimes by different politicians, sometimes at the same time by the same politicians.
In Britain, that meant libertarians had to vote for the fascist party to oppose to socialist party while the Cold War was going on. Since then, however, the Right has been able to come back to an extent, or rather a relatively more right-wing force has had space to emerge. In Britain, the Right came back as UKIP in the 1990s. In the US, it came back as Pat Buchanan in the GOP, and then Ross Perot and the Reform Party and also America First, and then Ron Paul.
I agree with almost a third of that statement.
I agree that liberty is threatened basically by two forces at the moment: on the one hand by the socialist mob and on the other hand by a globalist elite. As Dostoyevsky said, "the oligarchs are concerned with the interests of the wealthy; the democrats, only with the interest of the poor." However, I disagree with Mr Tucker in his categorisation of fascism as of the Right and libertarianism as neither of the Left nor the Right. The socialist mob and the hostile plutocratic oligarchs are both left-wing threats, because they redistribute wealth and undermine the social order, thus preventing the achievement of Burke's Natural Society or Hoppe's Natural Order.
I consider myself to be firmly on the Right, and to be "far-right" when using my own terminology. Rather than the nowadays accepted "Horseshoe Model" or the even worse "Political Compass", I see the Natural Order being a dot on a piece of paper, and all deviations from that dot, in whichever direction, whether socialist, environmentalist, hedonist, globalist, feminist, national socialist, or fascist, to be leftist to the extent that they are far away from the dot on the piece of paper.
It may be argued that my own definitions of Left and Right – the Right supporting both an abstract and an historical Natural Order based on private property and the Left undermining it in various ways – are all well and good, but in practice the Left have been the only ones to take the problem of the plutocracy seriously. I am not convinced that this is the case. The distributists were and are mostly on the Right. Pat Buchanan and the American paleoconservatives are on the Right. Nigel Farage is on the Right. Sean Gabb is on the Right. The Traditional Britain Group is on the Right. I will not deny that some of the most insightful critics of the current economic order (Kevin Carson, Keith Preston, et al) have identified themselves as leftists. However, for one, calling yourself a leftist does not necessarily mean you are an orthodox leftist or indeed part of the Left. Furthermore, the assumption that supporting the corporation, intellectual property rights, globalism, central banks etc. is a right-wing position is incorrect.
In Rothbard's essay "Left and Right: Prospects for Liberty", he argues that, historically speaking, there are two forces: class struggle, i.e. the Left; and traditional authorities, i.e. the Right. If I disagree with Rothbard in his view that libertarians ought to see themselves as on the Left, I at least find his broad brush view of historical political forces convincing. By far and away the best writer on just what the terms Left and Right actually mean was Erik Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, whose ideas have been synthesised into the Austrolibertarian system more coherently by Hans-Hermann Hoppe. For Hoppe, to be on the Right is essentially to promote and support the Natural Order; it is the promotion of deviations from this natural order (based on private property rights) through any redistribution of income, whether up or down, rich to poor or poor to already rich (i.e. through grants of special privileges or through direct or indirect subsidies), or through centralisation of power, or through an attack on freedom of association etc. that qualifies you as a leftist.
So, now let me apply this to the 2016 US Presidential election.
Much is said of Mr Trump being a fascist. There is some truth in this on the surface. Mr Trump is a big businessman, who has benefited from state privilege to an extent and using the definition of fascist that Walter Block uses – a mixture of the state and private sector – he is a fascist. But, using this definition, show me a politician who isn't a fascist! Instead, we have to speak relatively, i.e. who is least socialist and least fascist.
If you listen to what Trump is articulating, it is certainly not modern fascism. Based on his rhetoric is he a socialist? No. Is he a fascist? No. Instead, a writer over at The American Conservative described him as Pat Buchanan without the religion, which is basically correct.
What we have seen in American politics is similar to British politics since the war. In fact, we have had to mirror their politics since we have been an American satellite since at the very least 1945. The GOP has been the fascist party and the Democrats the socialist party, certainly of late. In specific elections, the opposite was true, but certainly from 1945 to the 1990s, in every presidential election there was usually an identifiable socialist and an identifiable fascist.
Since the end of the Cold War, that has started to change. Since then, both big parties have moved in the fascist direction. That was what allowed Ross Perot to do so well in the 1990s as the third force. What was that third force? Nationalism.
The next few elections are all of them interesting and essentially anomalous. 2000 was close because neither candidate was any good and both were perceived to be boring and to be the same. 2004 was all about 9/11 so Bush was obviously re-elected. 2008 was lost by McCain because of the novelty value of a black man running for the presidency. The same was true to an extent in 2012, but Obama also won because Romney was uninspiring and a Mormon.
But 2016 is where things are interesting once again. The woman's card won't work for Hillary Clinton because people distrust her. (Can you imagine the Conservatives doing well in the 2020 General Election with Samantha Cameron as Leader? Or Labour with Cherie Blair? I think not. ) Thus the issues are once again very important and Trump has started a big national debate about immigration and about putting "America First." So, what does Trump represent and what is he voicing? This time, Trump is the nationalist candidate.
Now, to be clear, what do I mean when I say "nationalism"? A nationalist believes in the Nation, i.e. in more than just a country or State or an economy, but in a people bound together by shared experience, values, and indeed ethnicity, and in that people being governed by representatives who share their experiences, values, and ethnicity. Historically speaking, nationalism was a leftist idea. Nationalism is, to my rather mediaeval sensibilities, a modern invention, growing out of the Renaissance and justifying all manner of attacks on the ancien regime. Those behind the English Revolution of 1688 legitimised themselves by appealing to nationalism. The same goes for revolutions of the following century, with revolutionaries appealing to the mob. Previously, all had been local, but with the advent of the modern "Nation State", all became national and thus there was a good deal of centralisation.
However, while an obvious deviation from the historical Natural Order of an "unconstitutional monarchy" or a "Popular Monarchy" based on the voluntary and contractual relationship between military service, or labour services, and land tenure, underpinned by a feudal oath, the nationalist heresy is relatively speaking much more right-wing than either the socialist heresy or the fascist heresy. When compared with rule by a socialist mob or rule by a hostile oligarchy of globalists, neither giving a damn about the Nation but only about plunder, nationalism comes off comparatively very well indeed. Indeed, nationalism is a very broad concept and it can be more or less authoritarian depending on the circumstances of the particular Nation and the particular time. Indeed the 19th century English classical liberals can be seen as English nationalists, with similar views regarding the presence of large numbers of immigrants within a Nation as paleoconservatives and paleolibertarians. For this reason, then, libertarians concerned about the decentralisation of power ought at least to be conditional nationalists. Once the Nation State has been restored, then, and only then, can we proceed further towards the Natural Order.
Not only is Trump the nationalist candidate, what is more, he is in effect the third party candidate. This is because of the Libertarian Party. Much is said of the libertarian duty to support the Johnson-Weld ticket. However, Mitt Romney is supporting the Libertarian Party and so is Jeb Bush. Gary Johnson is quite obviously being pushed around by the neocon gun-grabber and veteran "gay marriage" supporter Bill Weld. For all intents and purposes, Weld is the Libertarian Party nominee and he is little more than a liberal Republican who would not challenge the foreign policy hawks in the GOP – he has, for instance, suggested that Mitt Romney would make a good Secretary of Defense or Secretary of State – or the globalist plutocrats. Therefore, 2016 is a three horse race much like the 1990s: Clinton is relatively more socialist than fascist; Weld is relatively more fascist than socialist; and Trump is the nationalist.
Now, presidential elections are two-horse races. Three-way splits do not work well for the two broadly similar parties. However, I do not think that Weld's vote will eat into Trump's. Trump is appealing to people who would not ordinarily vote and also to a number of those who might have voted for a nationalist Democrat like Jim Webb. This election will be the start of a long-term realignment; it will be what the political scientists call a "realigning election", just like the 1960s when the Solid South turned Republican and the black vote went Democrat. This time, the blue collar and poor vote, in urban and rural areas, and probably whether black or white, will vote Trump. Some of my friends think he will win by a landslide.
When I was in London in July, I said that I thought Hillary would win. I am now not so sure. She is tainted. She is seen as part of the elite – and she is – and the campaign is taking its toll on her health. On top of this, hopefully the Weld vote will come from middle class corporatists and cultural leftists rather than from people who actually want to stick two fingers up at Washington DC. When I am next in town, I will put £5 on The Donald being sworn in as President of the United States in January. He is genuinely popular because he is tapping into the mood that is sweeping across Europe and the West. Is he popular because he is promising "free stuff"? No. Is he popular because he is promising a war? No. Is he popular because he is promising neoliberal economic policies? No. The Donald is popular and he will win because Leftism – in its absurd 1930s incarnations – is becoming terribly unfashionable, and the Nation State is back in vogue.
Furthermore, having said that Trump is the third party, there is the recent Brexit vote to consider. Nigel Farage and UKIP won that Referendum for us – not the middle class corporatists and cultural leftists in 'Vote Leave.' UKIP is the third party in Britain today, and Trump will most likely win in November as a result of the same mood sweeping across the West as allowed us to win the Referendum vote.
In short, socialism and fascism are becoming increasingly unpopular across Europe and the West. At the domestic level, there is a reaction against stupid leftist students on the one hand and evil plutocrats on the other hand. At the global level, there is a reaction against neo-Trotskyite humanitarian wars on the one hand and wars for corporate America on the other hand. If the electoral system is not rigged – which it might well be – then we are in with a chance of replacing the current order with something much gentler and much saner: nationalism. Nationalism is the third way, and its time has come!


SURPRISE! Donald Trump is going to be in the White House in a matter of weeks. ANOTHER SURPRISE! You have racist cousins. Okay, the second one isn't exactly a surprise, you've been home for holidays before and had to navigate the grumbles from conservative family members who don't approve of your lifestyle but bury it in bottomless mimosas and small talk.
This year, I don't have the energy for small talk. I don't have the energy for chatting about the weather, and traffic, and how good Aunt Denise's mashed cauliflower is. "Wow it tastes just like potatoes!" NO IT DOESN'T, DENISE. It tastes like garlic cauliflower. And if I have to awkwardly sit across from someone who calls the woman I love, the woman I cohabitate with, the woman I am raising DOGS with, "my roommate," you better believe that I am going to have a short fuse about what my anyone has to say about my identity.
This year, I am just plain out of energy. Sure, he's a racist, xenophobic, misogynist, but if that WASN'T enough for your family, he's also a homophobe. Holding up a rainbow flag with an incorrect acronym written in sharpie doesn't make you an ally when you back anti-LGBTQ and anti-women's rights and anti-immigration policies. Oh, and his VP is an actual piece of wet toast who is pro-conversion therapy for minors (including use of electroshock) and passed one of the most restrictive religious freedom bills in the country. Don't tell me he's not homophobic.
And yea, I'm not a single issue voter, but I do vote on whether I will be allowed to marry who I love and work without fear of termination. I vote on whether my friends and chosen family will be able to using a public restroom without harassment or violence. So I am giving you permission, and giving us all permission, to not go home. To take some time. Because not even the most glamorous bottomless mimosa bar will get a lot of us home for the holidays this year… and mama loves her a mimosa bar!
1. Explain to your family why you are not going home (if they are receptive to an adult conversation). Have authentic conversations if you can about why heading home to an environment is more damaging than fulfilling is not worth all the breakfast casseroles in the world.
2. Take all that money you saved on flying/driving home, buying gifts for people you rarely see, and DONATE it to a good cause. Do 10 minutes of research, or call a friend who is an activist, and find out what funds could make a difference to a Pro-LGBT organization in your town, county, or state. Not sure where to direct funds? A local ACLU branch is always a good move and you know it will go to a good cause. Here in Central Ohio, we have amazing legal organizations like the ACLU but we also have Legal Aid and LGBTQ-focused advocacy organizations like Stonewall Columbus and Equality Ohio.
3. Create your own family. LGBTQ folks have been kicked out of their homes for decades, welcome to the club. Join your forequeers and get a group of friends together that also don't feel comfortable going home to their extended families. Do what we do best: make delicious food, laugh, and destroy the patriarchy. I also recommend Yahtzee. It's the perfect game for smashing gender norms.
You can do 1, 2, 3, or allllll 4. You do you, boo. And when your family or friends say you are being dramatic, remind them that your life and your choices deserve just as much respect as theirs. You want to be an ally? Stuff it… in your ballot box. Then you will get a chance to try my garlic mashed potatoes and get to spend the holidays with me… because I am lovely. We are lovely.
When your actions reflect your relationships, that's when we all will come home.

Open hearing on Mongstad projects
January 20, 2014, 08:50 CET

The objective of the hearing is to review the recommendations and problems described in the report of the Office of the Auditor General of Norway on last autumn's investigation into the way the Norwegian state has dealt with the question of carbon capture and storage (CCS).
The hearing will take place in the Storting's Standing Committee on Scrutiny and Constitutional Affairs.
CEO Helge Lund will, among others, further inform the hearing about Statoil's role and the company's evaluations in its efforts to establish a full-scale carbon capture plant (CCM) for the power and heating plant, as well as the setting up of a technology centre at Mongstad (TCM).
Olav Skalmeraas, head of the carbon projects in Statoil.
All the political parties represented in the Storting will have the opportunity to have their questions answered.
"We are pleased to take this opportunity to inform the Storting and further describe the assessments we made in the course of these demanding projects," says Olav Skalmeraas, who is head of the carbon projects in Statoil.
"Together with Gassnova, and on behalf of the Norwegian government, we headed the task of preparing the investment basis for the full-scale project. In September last year the authorities decided to conclude the project. Since then we have worked on documenting the project results in order to ensure that all we have learnt from it is retained and can be used in future efforts to refine CCS technology."
The hearing will continue on 23 January. Several companies, organisations and official bodies with connections to the CCS field will participate in the hearing, together with representatives of the current and previous governments in Norway.

Q: Java : cannot create a file, write access denied I am installing my webapp(J2EE on tomcat7) on a Ubuntu server.
In my webapp, on my dev pc, I am creating a text file :
File file = new File("VE_EXPORT.TXT");
FileWriter writer;
writer = new FileWriter(file, true);
printer.write(necr+jnal+datp+dath+npie+cptg+libe+mont+codc+npoint+codeana+libCompte+"O"+newLine);

response.setContentType("application/octet-stream");
response.setContentLength((int) (file.length()));
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=\"" + file.getName() + "\"");
OutputStream output = response.getOutputStream();
IOUtils.copyLarge(fileInputStream, output);
file.delete();
output.flush();

It works fine.
But on the ubuntu server I have a 'permission denied'.
Is there a way not to have this error?
Do I need to do a new file if I just need to flush the output?
Or a way to configure the ubuntu server in order to allow  java (or tomcat7 or else) to create the file?
Thanks.

A: use chmod to get write access.

Dropbox gets a little more magical with Office integration
Dropbox has introduced a series of integrations making it infinitely more useful and the latest integration is no exception.
Jennifer Walpole, Sr. Staff Writer
Dropbox + Office = magic
Cloud storage is perhaps the best thing since sliced bread. Dropbox has saved me from the panic of a hard drive crash more than once and I'm betting most people have experienced a similar situation.
Backing up your files used to be a tedious process, whereby you spent an hour in front of the computer hoping that you got everything transferred to a flash drive before the computer crashed again. Cloud storage has eliminated much of this panic.
Read also: FindIt – search Gmail, Google Drive, Dropbox from this one app
The company announced this integration, stating they were getting even better. Thanks to this integration, you can now work on your Office files, right from Dropbox. Microsoft has released a new integration with Office Online, so you can edit any Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, or Excel file, in your Dropbox account directly from your web browser.
Why is this so fantastic?

On April 27, students and teachers from across Fayette County came together to celebrate green initiatives in Fayette County Schools. The partner recognition ceremony, held at Garrett Morgan Elementary, awarded seventy two public and private schools for their efforts in sustainability.
Garret Morgan, one of Lexington's newest elementary schools, has focused on sustainability from day one. Staff quickly set up a school recycling program and raised funds to purchase classroom recycling bins. Their energy team monitors energy consumption throughout the school as a part of FCPS E=USE2.
Lexington schools were recognized for their outstanding efforts in recycling and waste reduction, water quality education, litter abatement initiatives, and energy conservation education as part of the LiveGreenLexington School Partner Program. This program is funded by LFUCG and managed by Bluegrass Greensource.
Schools also received recognition for their participation in Fayette County Public Schools' Education leads to Understanding Sustainability, Energy and the Environment program (E=USE).
Andrea Marcum of Arlington Elementary was named as Outstanding Teacher of the Year. Arlington participated in the Recycle Challenge and improved their district's recycling rate by over 45%! Ms. Marcum wrote a musical and her students made instruments from recyclable material to promote the challenge.
Bluegrass Youth Sustainability Council was named Environmental Stewards of the year. The council is comprised of high school students from public and private schools across Fayette County. Students work collaboratively on projects in all areas of sustainability including energy management, outdoor classrooms, waste management, water quality and air quality.
Providence Montessori Middle was selected as Volunteers of the Year. Students from Providence visited Bluegrass Greensource' office monthly to perform tasks that assisted in environmental outreach. They cheerfully performed each task assigned to them whether it was helping educators prepare materials for classroom activities, cleaning, or organizing.
Refreshments were provided in part by Bryan Station High School's culinary arts class who produced a refreshing vanilla confetti cake with strawberry yogurt frosting. Floral arrangements were provided by Locust Trace AgriScience Center. School awards and table decorations were made from upcycled vinyl records donated by Habitat for Humanity Restore.
The program featured student made videos. SCAPA students showed how to improve water quality with their video on non point source pollution and best management practices. Cardinal Valley Elementary, focused on coal and energy conservation, and Bluegrass Youth Sustainability Council showed us their goals with the video Where We're Going.
Bluegrass Greensource would like to thank Lexington Fayette Urban County Government, teachers, and students for their support of this school partner program.


The evidence is stacking up – with funding now moving through Congressional approval – it appears that the current administration is preparing to extend and expand the E-Verify program.
This approval and the details of the proposed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) budget combined with the expected increase in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) audits highlight the increased scrutiny on I-9 compliance.
While there are many states that require E-Verify for some employers, only 14% of states require E-Verify for most or all employers.* Depending on how you leverage the E-Verify system today, your organization could face a significant increase to your E-Verify processing with a national mandate. Employers should take the time to check that their I-9 processes are meeting current E-Verify mandates and are able to easily and quickly adapt to meet future proposed regulations.
The Equifax I-9 Management advanced E-Verify solution simply and seamlessly integrates with E-Verify to help keep employers in compliance while reducing administrative burden.
Contact us to learn how Equifax Workforce Solutions can help quickly get you on the road to I-9 and E-Verify compliance.

Henri Cartier-Bresson was born in Chanteloup-en-Brie on 22 August 1908. Although best known for his photography, he was also an accomplished film director and painter. He grew up in Normandy and Paris as the son of a well-to-do family in the textile industry. After studying art in Paris between 1922 and 1928, he turned to photography, shooting many images during his extensive travels.
His work soon found its way into magazines and exhibitions.
He set great store on the most perfect composition possible. The enlargement should show the entire shot with no cropping. Most of the time he used an unobtrusive 35mm Leica M camera with a standard 50mm lens and used black and white film, which he considered had a more artistic quality. Most of the development and printing was carried out by the Magnum Agency's laboratory.
In 1940, Henri Cartier-Bresson was captured by the Germans and imprisoned for almost three years. After two failed escape attempts, he eventually managed to reach Paris. Here he joined a group of French Resistance photographers who were recording the times of the occupation of France and the German retreat. It was falsely assumed that he had been killed in the war and in 1947, the New York Museum of Modern Art posthumously dedicated an exhibition to his life's work. It was at this time that he co-founded the still world-famous Magnum Photo Agency with Robert Capa, Davis Seymour and George Rodger. His extensive travels took him to places including Europe, Mexico, India, Pakistan, Cuba, China, Indonesia and the USA. In 1954 he was one of the first foreign photographers to visit the Soviet Union.
Cartier-Bresson gave up his photographic career in 1972 to concentrate on drawing and painting. In 2003, he and his wife Martine Frank founded the Henri Cartier-Bresson Foundation. His work is archived in a building in Paris. Henri Cartier-Bresson died on 3 August 2004 – but his work lives on.

Tap My Katamari guide: Become a rolling star with these tips!
After a painfully long incubation period, Tap My Katamari is finally out on iOS and Android devices worldwide. Don't be fooled, though-- this is no ordinary Katamari game. Tap My Katamari is an endless "cosmic clicker" that can quickly become frustrating if you don't prioritize correctly. Luckily, we have prepared an in-depth Tap My Katamari guide chock-full of tips and trips so that you can roll happy.
First of all, as stated above, Tap My Katamari is a far cry from previous games in the series. The gameplay is simple, players need only tap the screen to advance the Katamari and pick up items. As you pick up items, you gain coins which can be used to buy a bunch of different things that we'll get into later in the Tap My Katamari guide.
Before you start the game for the first time, it's helpful to get to know the three main statistics you'll be dealing with and upgrading along the way. The green Prince icon refers to your tap power, and affects how much the Katamari moves when you tap the screen. The orange Cousin icon refers to your Cousin power, and affects how many coins you'll accrue when you're not actually playing the game. The last icon is a combination of the two, and gives percentage-based bonuses to both. This last stat is the most important one, and should be prioritized as you progress through Tap My Katamari.
In the early stages of the game, before you graduate to the Garden, it's prudent to focus mostly on upgrading your tap power by leveling up your Prince. The going can be painfully slow early on, but things will speed up.
As you start to gain more coins, begin to focus on buying Cousins. This will allow you to take a break when you hit progression walls, then come back in an hour or two and have a significant amount of coins waiting for you. Generally, it is more cost effective to stockpile coins and save up to buy new Cousins as soon as you can afford them instead of leveling up your existing Cousins. There will be time for that later.
By this point in our guide, you'll be at Tap My Katamari's Garden stage, or you'll at least be pretty close to it. You should have some candy at your disposal, as well as access to all the menus. The first thing you should do at this point is tab over to the mushroom menu and activate Coin Fever by watching a short ad. This will double your coins for 4 hours, and can be reactivated as soon as that 4 hours is up. There's no reason not to have it active all the time.
For that matter, you really should be watching the ads whenever the game prompts you. Watching these ads lets you double your away-from-game earnings and trigger events that can really net you lots of in-game currency.
Now that that's out of the way, let's talk about the Mojos in Tap My Katamari. Each Cousin has a randomly assigned set of Mojos that can be unlocked as they level up. These Mojos range in level from 1 to 6, and can affect the game's main three stats, increase critical hit rate, and boost the amount of coins you receive.
Of course, all of the Mojos are helpful, but those four should be prioritized. As a final note on Mojos, ignore the Powerful Mojo unless it is available for your cousin with the highest Cousin power level. Since this Mojo gives a boost only to that Cousin, it quickly becomes obsolete as more powerful Cousins are bought.
It's incredibly important to remember that Mojos are the same no matter which Cousin uses them. This means that it's always more cost-effective to level up a weaker Cousin to unlock their Mojos, since the Mojo will be just as powerful as if it belonged to a stronger Cousin with a more expensive level-up cost.
The Prince has 3 abilities, but you only really need to worry about two of them. The Charge and Roll ability is almost useless, and only worth getting because its cool-down is 10 minutes as opposed to a half-hour or longer. Buy it, but don't spend many coins upgrading it.
The Magnetic Heart ability is handy, if only because it can help you cheese through tougher time attack stages. It puts the Katamari into hyperspeed for a while, and you can boost that speed even further by tapping along. Feel free to upgrade this one at your own leisure. Don't make it a priority.
The last ability, and the best one, is the Coin Soul ability, which simply lets you tap the screen wildly for 30 seconds, gathering coins for each tap. Upgrade this one whenever you can.
As you roll, you'll start to accumulate a stockpile of candy. Never, ever, ever use it on anything other than purchasing special Cousins and upgrading them. The reason for this is that as your Katamari grows, you'll be able to turn it into a star in exchange for Star points. When you do this, everything resets -- your Prince's level, your Cousins, your coins, everything.
Well...that is, everything except your special Cousins (and any Star points or Presents you may have collected). Use your candy on purchasing special Cousins, leveling them up, and changing their Mojos to the most valuable ones. Ideally, you want all of your special Cousins to have Mojos at level 4 or greater in one of the four most valuable Mojo types.
This also means that you're really going to want to ignore pretty much everything in the mushroom tab, unless you've shelled out real-world money for your Candy and you have a bunch of it burning a hole in your pocket. Personally, I still think you should just spend it on special Cousins.
When the Prince hits level 600, he'll be able to make his Katamari into a star, and you'll be awarded Star points based on your Prince's level, your Cousins' collective levels, and the stage you are at. An important tip for Tap my Katamari is that if you're really in need of more candy, hold off on making a star. Candy is much easier to come by in later stages than it is earlier on in the game.
That said, you shouldn't hesitate to make your first star, assuming you'll get somewhere in the ballpark of 30 Star points for it. And once you do make that star, go crazy purchasing Presents. These will make your life so much easier when you start over with a brand new Katamari, and the same rule applies as with the Cousins -- it's usually better to get a new Present than to upgrade an existing one.
There are exceptions to this rule of course, however. Items like the Camera that increase the amount of objects in the stage should be prioritized heavily, along with items like the Coin Purse that drop upgrade costs. In addition, anything that offers massive increases to the stat that offers bonuses to both Tap and Cousin power is worth upgrading as well.
As you gain more presents and learn how they work, prioritization will become easier and easier. The flip side to this is that new presents and upgrades will become more expensive, so after your first Katamari, it is optimal to wait longer before making Katamaris into stars to max out the amount of Star points you get from them in the end.
This guide to Tap My Katamari should help you optimize your purchases so that you're not wasting time (or coins!) during play. Having said that, if you hit a progression wall, simply put the game down for a few hours. Remember that Tap My Katamari is generous with the coins it gives you while you're not actually playing the game, and that if you have upgraded and unlocked your Cousins correctly, you'll return to enough coinage to buy your way through to the next stage.
If you're more impatient, just wait for your Coin Soul or Magnetic Heart abilities to refresh, and you'll be able to progress that way as well.
Tap My Katamari is a joyful little clicker, one that uses ads in a smart way and doesn't make in-app-purchases necessary. There's a lot of fun to be had here for fans of the clicker genre, from the bright visuals to the catchy remixes of classic Katamari Damacy tracks. Be sure to download it ASAP from the app store and put our Tap My Katamari guide to work today, and start rolling up those stars!


Animal behavior has been an unending source of curiosity for ethologists and scientists for decades. Studies in animal behavior range from feeding interactions and mating to social organization and habitat selection. By far the most effective method of gathering information on animal behavior has been surveillance cameras. These camera systems are excellent for observational purposes because they can be installed as a non-intrusive fixture within an animal's habit.
Depending on the species, animals will often assert dominance while feeding in groups. When chickens eat, they establish a "pecking order." Often the most dominant chicken will use intimidation by pecking or staring at rivals to communicate that they will eat first. Often the mere threat of a peck is enough to establish dominance, causing others to back down from a meal until the dominant chicken is finished eating.
If the dominant chicken is challenged, it will fight with the challenger until a victor emerges. Observing chickens during feeding time via CCTV camera systems can reveal a subtle yet sophisticated method of communication.
Video surveillance can also reveal the behavior associated with predator/prey interaction. In the video, a fox is observed as it attempts to prey upon a chicken. Notice that the fox is frenzied and attempts to chew through the fence. Its efforts may even show a willingness to hurt itself as it digs a hole beneath the fence and squeezes through. Ultimately, the fox finds its way into the coop and steals away with a chicken to eat at a later time.
What we can learn from such an interaction with a video camera system-- how do the chickens react when they're inside of the coop, escaping the fox? Do they band together? Do they take individual actions? When do they decide the coast is clear?
When we think of a chicken's diet, certain food choices come to mind -- vegetables, fruits, flowers, grass, grains, seeds, and bugs. But surprisingly, chickens also eat meat. To be more specific, chickens hunt and consume mice with surprising efficiency.
Camera systems can reveal a great number of surprising facts about animals when observed in their natural habitat. Surveillance can also reveal unique animal behaviors that occur at night. Chickens will peck at each other and claim the coziest sleep locations for themselves, displaying that an act of dominance often determines even the act of sleeping.
CCTV is also excellent for observing animal behavior when a threat is present. For example, a chicken will audibly warn its flock when a predator is nearby. The flock will then band together and retreat en masse to a safer location.
Through surveillance, we can discover how an animal perceives day and night cycles. In the video, a flock of chickens is observed during a solar eclipse. When the sky darkens the chickens go back into their coop. However, when the celestial event eventually passes and the sky brightens once more, the chickens exit the coop. At that point, a rooster crows.
Well placed camera systems will be able to pick up on such unique animal behavior. We can discover how animals react in certain situations where their perceptions may not be entirely correct, such as mistaking a solar eclipse as night time.
Animals react differently when they experience a specific type of stimulus. That stimulus can be based on hunger, fear, injury, etc. For example, chickens often huddle together on cold days to stay warm. If a predator is nearby, they will likely run away due to the stimulus of fear.
Animal behavior can change rapidly depending on the stimulus they are experiencing at the moment. As observed earlier, the fox that was targeting the chicken coop was possibly willing to injure itself to grab its prey. It's reasonable to conclude that the fox was hungry enough that its behavior was influenced to the point of possible self-injury.
Observing animals via video surveillance can provide an in-depth and intimate look into their behavior. We can learn how they react in certain situations and even learn a thing or two about how they perceive the world around them. Learning how and why animals behave the way they do can help us to understand and study them on a deeper level.

Check out some of the best space images of 2016
By: Alex Grey

2016 has seen some of humankind's finest achievements in space exploration, with Juno at Jupiter, Cassini at Saturn and multiple Mars rovers doing their thing.
At the moment Cassini – one of NASA's most successful space missions – is diving above and below Saturn's rings, teeing itself up for a deep dive towards the giant planet's surface.
This means 2017, when the spacecraft crashes into Jupiter's surface in September, will see a plethora of incredible discoveries coming from our solar system's largest planet.
In the meantime, 2016 has thrown up its own array of fascinating findings, with images of planets, stars and explosions entertaining us space enthusiasts.
We may as well start with some approach images made by Juno, capturing Jupiter and its moons.
Juno was about 78,000km above Jupiter's polar cloud tops when it captured this view, showing storms and weather unlike anywhere else in the solar system. Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS
Jupiter's north polar region is coming into view as NASA's Juno spacecraft approaches the giant planet. This view of Jupiter was taken on 27 August, when Juno was 703,000km away. Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech/SwRI/MSSS

A galaxy cluster 11.1bn light years from Earth called CL J1001 was captured in August by NASA scientists, breaking the record for the most distant galaxy ever recorded.
With 11 "massive galaxies" at its core, CL J1001's discovery shows it in an early-stage growth spurt. Nine of the 11 are growing so rapidly that star birth is at around the rate of 3,000 suns a year.

Curiosity is one of the more active rovers to have landed on, and explored, Mars. The NASA team behind Curiosity's investigations of the Martian surface obviously aren't immune to pop culture, with several 'selfies' emerging in recent months.

The below Uranus portrait is old, true, but the image Voyager 2 took in 1986, as it neared the edge of our solar system, is still offering fascinating insights into the planetary make-up of our nearest and dearest neighbours.
A new study led by University of Idaho researchers suggests there could be two tiny, previously undiscovered moonlets orbiting near two of the planet's rings.
Rob Chancia spotted key patterns in the two rings while examining Voyager 2's images, with the material on the rings varying periodically.
Arriving at Uranus in 1986, Voyager 2 observed a bluish orb with extremely subtle features. A haze layer hid most of the planet's cloud features from view. Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech
In this picture, our home galaxy, the Milky Way, stretches across the sky above the landscape of the Chilean Andes. In the foreground, the roads of ESO's La Silla Observatory are packed with state-of-the-art astronomical telescopes pointing towards, and far beyond, the Milky Way. Image: ESO/B Tafreshi
Called NGC 6814, this 'face-on' image flattens out the galaxy, with a luminous nucleus, "spectacular sweeping arms" and dark dust rippled throughout.
NASA says this galaxy enjoys a particularly bright nucleus, which is probably why this image is so clearly estimated – the brightness is a "telltale sign that the galaxy is a Seyfert galaxy".

Every star should go out in a blaze of glory. Storm off stage, thrash a hotel room, slag off journalists etc. For real stars, though, explosions come on a far bigger, yet rarely seen, scale.
That was before March, though, as NASA has amazing footage of the early flash of an exploding star, the bright point amid a fiery, speedy death.
The animated recreation of KSN 2011d shows when a star's internal furnace can no longer sustain nuclear fusion, and its core collapses under gravity. A shockwave from the implosion rushes upward through the star's layers. The shockwave initially breaks through the star's visible surface as a series of finger-like plasma jets. Image: NASA Ames, STScI/G Bacon
The constellation of Virgo (The Virgin) is especially rich in galaxies, due in part to the presence of a massive and gravitationally bound collection of more than 1300 galaxies called the Virgo Cluster. One particular member of this cosmic community, NGC 4388, is captured here. Image: ESA/NASA
This annotated, infrared image from Hubble shows the scale of the galactic core. The galaxy's nucleus (marked) is home to a central, supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A-star (click to enlarge). Image: NASA/ESA/STScI/AURA

Blog Quick Quotes: April Club Q with June!
April Club Q with June!
Hello Quick Quotes fans! June here today, bringing you some great ideas to create with pieces from the April Club Q Kits.
To make these pages, I started by laying out three 12 x 12 papers. Then I took all the pieces from the Club Q Altered kit, and moved them around on the pages until I was happy with the design. The best part is that everything is pre-cut, so all I had to do was add my photos and stick everything down.
The Marching Band layout was featured earlier this month, and you can see details here.
I added Quick Quotes' metal flowers (not included) and edged the papers with Baja Blue and Tropical Punch PowderPuff Chalking Inks.
Thickers were added from my stash for a title. But the tag, scalloped border, ribbon and papers are all part of the kit. Even the fish were fussy cut from one of the included papers.
The papers, tags, metal frame and scalloped border are apart of the kit. I did edge all of the papers with Baja Blue and Tropical Punch PowderPuff Chalking inks.
A title was added with Thickers from my stash. The photos were printed with my Canon Selphy Photo printer. The banner quotes (not included) are from Navigator 600.
Thanks for stopping by and be sure to check out the April Club Q Kits!
Great layouts! I love how the subject matters are so different but all work well with this paper collection. Awesome!

Q: SIGSEGV Error occurs on the actual device but not on ios simulator I am the developer of a cydia tweak named CountdownCenter. I was trying to create a digital clock appearance for my widget, so I created a sample app that does this perfectly. After doing this, I transferred this data into the code of my tweak but, this causes a SIGSEGV crash on my iPhone. After some testing, I found the part that is responsible for the crash, but I just can't find what's wrong as this part would work on a normal app. Can you help me please?
Here is the code:
int digitarray[10];
    int c = 0;
    digitarray[0] = 0;
    digitarray[1] = 0;
    while (secon>0) {
        int digitt = secon % 10;
        digitarray[c] = digitt;
        secon /= 10;
        c++;
    }
        lbl.text = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", digitarray[0]];
          [self selectimage:digitarray[0] img:numview10];

A: SIGSEGV usually means, that you're trying to access memory, that you are not allowed to access. (btw are you testing this with a release build?) Maybe f.e. here (there are some other similar places too):
c = 0;
while (secon>0) {
    int digitt = secon % 10;
    digitarray[c] = digitt;
    secon /= 10;
    c++;
}

There are some possibilities:

*

*secon (horrible variable names btw...) is a float or double, in that case the while loop is either never entered or never left

*c becomes so large that it's beyond digitarray's bounds

To solve this issue I would recommend to but a breakpoint at the beginning of your code and check it step by step.

Telangana Intermediate Exam Fiasco
On April 18th, the Telangana State Board of Intermediate Education exams results were announced. Soon after, it was revealed that 3 lakh of the nearly 10 lakh students who had appeared for the examinations had failed the exams. Over 100 students were also declared absent even though they appeared for the exams. Since the results were announced, 20 students have killed themselves, allegedly dejected with the marks they received.
However, student organisations, parents, and opposition parties laying the blame on the Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) and the Telangana Rashtra Samithi (TRS) led government. Shocked by the results, students and their parents alleged that the intermediate board is to blame. They claim that Globarena Technologies Pvt Ltd, the firm that was awarded the contract to do both data processing (admissions, centre allotment, etc) and result processing, committed errors which led to scores of students failing.
The incident has led to large scale protests in Telangana which have been ongoing for the past week. The government constituted a probe committee. The committee's report which was released on April 29th pointed to major technical issues and a few human errors. For example: For nearly 500 students, "AP" (absent and present) was displayed instead of marks. For a few "AF" (absent and fail) was displayed, despite appearing for the exams. For more than 4,000 Economics students, single digit marks were displayed in their sheet.
For The Suno India Show, we spoke to Padmaja Shaw, an independent journalist and academician from Hyderabad about this fiasco. In this podcast, she said questions must also be raised about the deteriorating state of intermediate education in Telangana apart from the gross lapses in governance. In this podcast, she said how the culture of coaching classes, lack of proper infrastructure and high aspirations of parents too are contributing factors which is leading to student suicides.
Owing to massive pressure from all sides- K Chandrasekhar Rao, Chief Minister announced free revaluation of all the 3 lakh students' papers. The Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) also has now finally agreed to rope in a new private software firm for the re-verification of results.

The dream of being able to buy a product directly from a TV show dates back to the beginning of the new millennium. At industry conferences around the world, executives spoke longingly of a future in which viewers of the then-popular sitcom Friends could see star actress Jennifer Aniston wearing a fashionable sweater, and then, with the push of a button, purchase that very sweater for themselves.
But despite the many technological breakthroughs over the past 15 years, this holy grail of ecommerce is not yet a reality for the vast majority of consumers.
One of the main reasons shoppable video has yet to become a widespread phenomenon is user behavior. While there are certainly instances where people are so excited by a new product that they are ready to buy it right away, most video viewers want to continue watching their content without interruption. If you're about to see the resolution of an epic cliffhanger on Scandal or a laugh-out-loud funny video from your favorite YouTuber, purchasing a new pair of shoes may just have to wait a few minutes.
For shoppable video to reach its true potential, marketers and technologists must enable a slightly delayed purchase response.
Even if someone isn't in the shopping state of mind while they're watching a particular piece of content, there's great value in creating awareness, excitement, and the opportunity for them to make an informed purchase decision at some point down the road.
Crucial to this philosophy is the development of an idea I like to call "next-generation bookmarking," or the capability for consumers to see a product in a video and revisit it after they've finished watching their content. Already, we've seen how platforms like Pinterest have helped consumers move from browsing to purchase consideration by giving them a place to store product pages and other content containing goods they might like to buy. The reason these platforms have caught on is that they allow people to bookmark their desired products seamlessly, and without interrupting their browsing and content consumption behaviors. They also provide a choice environment for people to compare the pros and cons of the various items they've earmarked.
Still, there's a big opportunity to take these bookmarking platforms to the next level by linking them directly to the point of purchase and making it easier to single out individual products from the video content people are consuming. While it's nice that someone can save a video containing a pair of sunglasses to their Pinterest page, a truly next-generation bookmarking tool would allow the consumer to save the product itself to a shopping cart where they could purchase it directly — all without leaving the video they were watching.
Many companies would love to be the preferred bookmarking tool for shopping. From aggregators like Pinterest and Lyst, to browser extensions like Amazon Assistant and Wikibuy, and the retailers themselves, it's clear there's a true need for a seamless integration between the content viewing platform and the "keeper" of precious finds to help streamline the digital shopping experience.
Once these next-generation bookmarking tools are in place, the sky is the limit for shoppable video. Due to its unique combination of sight, sound and motion, video allows brands to connect with people on an emotional level that simply isn't available with display ads and other mediums. And with global retail ecommerce sales set to top $2 trillion this year, web users have never been more comfortable making purchases online.
As you read this, companies like Shoppable and ShopStyle are hard at work building universal shopping carts capable of allowing users to store products from a variety of retailers in a single location one click away from checkout. In the not-too-distant future, consumers will be able to use a single shopping cart for all of their ecommerce activity. All that's missing is the link between the video content people love and the shopping cart that holds the products they want to buy next.
Indeed, the future of shoppable video is well within our reach. With a slight reimagination of how we consider the format and a few pieces of instrumental technology, marketers will have an unprecedented opportunity to inspire demand, collapse the marketing funnel, and move buyers further along the path to purchase. One day soon, consumers will be able to identify and purchase their favorite actress's sweater without hassle or delay — whenever they feel comfortable doing so.


The regular sleeping pattern of the woman changes after conception due to various changes taking place in her body. The first trimester demands more sleeping hours, as the body is tired due to the extra work it has to do to nourish and nurture the growing fetus in the womb, in addition to supplying enough blood for the placenta to form.
As the pregnancy progresses, it becomes more and more difficult to have a good night's sleep because of the growing abdomen and changing shape of the body. Sleeping on the left side is recommended by doctors as it is considered to be the best position which is good for both – the would-be mother as well as the growing child in her womb.
A wrong sleeping position will only add to the woes of the pregnant woman.
Sleeping on the side is known as a SOS position during pregnancy, especially sleeping on the left side is recommended by doctors. When the pregnant woman sleeps on her left side, the weight of the uterus is taken off her spine; in addition, it increases the supply of blood and nutrients to the fetus.
Keeping a pillow in between the legs, while sleeping on the left side, is the best position that can be adopted throughout pregnancy.
If the abdomen needs support, try positioning a pillow to support it. Though sleeping on the left side is best, changing position is also necessary.
Some studies suggest that the sleeping position could be responsible for a still born child, though there is no substantial proof to back the report. Sleeping on the left side during the last term of the pregnancy is known to bring down the possibility of still birth. The medical explanation for the situation could be that, sleeping on the back or right side causes the compression of inferior vena cava in the mother, due to the pressure exerted by fetus. This reduces the oxygen supply to the baby thus resulting in still birth.
Apart from the benefits, pregnant women find it comfortable to sleep on their left side with pillows between their legs, especially in the third trimester.
