Het wordt tijd dat de regering van May een duidelijke positie inneemt aangaande de Brexit. De regering van premier May bevind zich nu in een benarde positie. 'Hard Brexiteers', die een snel vertrek uit de EU beogen staan tegenover de 'soft Brexiteers', die pleiten voor een transitieperiode, waarbij boendien de handelsrelatie tussen het Verenigd Koninkrijk en de EU zoveel mogelijk intact blijft. Ook vanuit de EU wordt drukgezet op de regering van May. Binnen twee jaar moet de Brexit zijn afgerond; dat laat weinig tijd over voor interne onenigheid over de Brexit.
The United Kingdom's Brexit strategy is increasingly being revealed for being based on wishful thinking, not facts, with devastating consequences for the upcoming talks.
A visit to Canada is usually a good opportunity for a British Prime Minister to concentrate on foreign policy, nurture the United Kingdom's relationship to an allied country and detach oneself from domestic policy. Quite possibly, this was one of the things Prime Minister Theresa May was looking forward to when she flew across the Atlantic to meet her Canadian counterpart Justin Trudeau earlier this week. The past summer was less than ideal for the Prime Minister: an inconclusive stalemate in the general election, protracted negotiations on a confidence-and-supply deal with the Democratic Unionist Party, the Grenfell Tower catastrophe, the recent Parsons Green terrorist incident – and Brexit.
Let us pause here for a moment. When the United Kingdom began negotiating the terms of its withdrawal from the European Union, the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, made clear that the negotiation would proceed in two stages. In the first phase, both sides would attempt to make substantial progress on select issues (namely the status of the future EU external border between the Republic of Ireland (EU) and Northern Ireland (UK)); the status of EU citizens in the UK, and vice versa; the settlement of the United Kingdom's financial obligations towards the EU; the role of the European Court of Justice) before proceeding to the subject the UK Government is most interested in – the establishment of future trade relations between the EU27 and the UK. No such progress has been made, with the start of trade talks now having been pushed from October to December.
Now, given the tight timeline imposed by Article 50(1) of the Treaty of European Union, completing the talks and concluding an agreement within 2 years of the UK's withdrawal notification was always going to be a tall order. However, the political instability resulting from Prime Minister May's loss of her majority, as well as barely-concealed power struggles within her Conservative Party are threatening to completely throw the UK's Brexit ambitions into disarray. In this context, it certainly does not help that despite a slew of position papers having been published on the subject, the position of the UK Government on Brexit has remained unclear.
This ultimately reveals the very flaw with the Brexit argument and the referendum that was staged on 23 June 2016. Not just did the UK Parliament not impose any safeguards for such a fundamentally constitutional decision, it also failed to legislate for what would happen in the event of a Leave vote. In fact, it was not even clear what exactly British voters were asked to do: Leave the European Union, yes. But would they have equally consented to leaving the Single Market, if they had been presented with this additional question on the ballot? Would they have also authorized the country's departure from the Customs Union? Finally, would British voters have agreed to leaving EURATOM if they had known that the supply of nuclear fuel for Britain's nuclear reactors and much-needed medical isotopes would become much harder to come by? Of course, this is all speculative – but it's another reminder of how much the pro-Brexit narrative of "the British people have spoken" should be incisively questioned, particularly when bearing in mind that a mere 52% of 72% of all registered British voters actually voted to leave the European Union.
It is this rather muddled mandate derived from a constitutionally irrelevant, merely consultative referendum that is now causing major problems for the UK Government. The cabinet is completely split down the middle, between hard Brexiteers happy to peddle proven untruths and soft Brexiteers who want to retain some semblance of economic stability by providing for a mid-term transitional period – which would cushion the impact of Brexit. That's before we consider the small, but still audible minority within the Conservative Party that wishes to remain within the EU. These divisions were highlighted by an interestingly timed intervention by Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson who wrote a Telegraph column on Brexit whilst Prime Minister May was in Canada. The foreign secretary's primary issue is with the possibility of the UK deciding to pay for continued access to the Single Market. How he wishes to retain the UK's economic strength in the absence of Single Market access (which the EU is not going to grant without payment into its budget, if its relationships with Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein are anything to go by), he fails to say.
Of course, this could usually be dismissed as baseless bluster by a man whose position within the May Cabinet has relegated him to the sidelines, especially when compared to Brexit Secretary David Davis. What makes the latest musings of the Foreign Secretary relevant are reports that he may resign this coming weekend if Prime Minister May does not abide by his no-compromise, hardline Brexit position. This coming Friday, Mrs May will be articulating the UK's supposedly authoritative position on Brexit in a speech to be delivered in Florence.
Sandwiched between the EU playing hardball on Brexit, and her own party's right wing being unwilling to give ground on unrealistic maximum demands, one must wonder how stable the government led by her actually is. Should Mr Johnson's resignation indeed come to pass, its effects on the power dynamics within the Conservative Party – led by an already weakened prime minister – should not be underestimated. Even if Johnson, whose popularity has been vastly overestimated by the man himself , does not become Prime Minister himself, he could very well precipitate a protracted struggle within the Conservative Party that would render the country's government completely ineffective – and leaving EU negotiators even more exasperated at the state of their British interlocutors than they already are.
Considering the fact that the Labour Party under Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn has effectively eliminated the Conservative lead in the opinion polls, it is also useful to remind ourselves of what has occurred on the opposition benches. After much hesitation during the election campaign, primarily owed to Labour voters being made up of pro-European, metropolitan liberals and working-class voters favouring Brexit, the party committed itself to continued membership of the Single Market. This is an about-turn from its studied ambivalence in the run-up to the general election, but ironically provides more reassurance to Britain's EU negotiators than the sitting UK Government.
Mrs May's cabinet, and her Brexit position, appears aimless, rudderless and clueless. She better correct that soon – otherwise Britain could very well sleepwalk into a Brexit disaster of its own making.

Sickle cell anemia: History and epidemiology
Piel FB., Williams TN.
© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. This chapter summarizes how a simple point mutation in the human genome has evolved to become a global public health problem, as well as a remarkable example of evolutionary biology, population genetics and clinical epidemiology. Through malaria selection and interactions with other genes, the sickle mutation of the HBB gene reached high population frequencies throughout much of sub- Saharan Africa and in parts of the Mediterranean, the Middle East and India before spreading globally through subsequent population migration. Sickle cell anemia is a severe disease that is still associated with a high mortality in low- and middleincome countries, where simple public health interventions could help signifi cantly in reducing its long-term health burden, and with high health-care costs in highincome countries, where life expectancy and quality of life remain suboptimal. Alongside huge progress in the understanding of the natural history and epidemiology of sickle cell anemia during the last century, signifi cant gaps, discussed in this chapter, still remain, highlighting the need for further research to better prevent the adverse consequences of this disease.

Fitch affirms SA's debt ratings - Treasury
Treasury |
Govt expresses gratitude to all stakeholders who participated in meetings with agency
Fitch Ratings (Fitch) affirmed South Africa's long term foreign and local currency debt ratings, outlook remains stable
Fitch has affirmed South Africa's long term foreign and local currency debt ratings of 'BB+' with a stable outlook.
Fitch has cited that despite the country's credit strengths of deep local capital markets, favourable government debt structure and a track record of fairly prudent fiscal and monetary policy, South Africa's ratings continue to be weighed down by:
- Low potential economic growth;
- Sizable contingent liabilities; and
- Deteriorating governance of state-owned companies (SOCs).
According to the rating agency, "the March 2017 Cabinet reshuffle that triggered the downgrade of South Africa's ratings is likely to undermine governance of SOCs, weaken fiscal consolidation and reduce private sector investment as a result of weaker business confidence".
The rating agency is also of the view that "while efforts to improve the SOC governance framework will continue, implementation decisions, for example on appointments of senior SOC management, will hamper these efforts and could lead to weaker financial positions of SOCs and higher contingent liabilities for the government".
Government notes the decision of Fitch and expresses gratitude to all the stakeholders who participated in the meetings with the rating agency and ensured that the country is not downgraded further.
Nonetheless, government emphasises that fiscal consolidation remains firmly on track and government's efforts remain focused on improving the growth trajectory and policy perceptions. Minister Gigaba is currently re-engaging with the private sector to make sure that the joint work of government, business, labour and the civil society continues and that the pledges made thus far are fulfilled.
The leadership in government and the ruling party are firmly committed in improving business and investor confidence in South Africa. As Fitch has rightly mentioned, rhetoric of "radical socioeconomic transformation" does not imply a fundamental policy shift. The main focus of government is to address the long-standing goal of inclusive growth. Fast-tracking the implementation of the structural reforms on growth and addressing the financial and governance issues of some of the SOCs are priorities in the short term.
This outcome demonstrates that South Africans must continue to act in unison especially during difficult times and work even harder to make sure that the country reclaims its investment grade status.
More work lies ahead and as such the National Development Plan, as the overarching policy of government, will continue to drive the decisions aimed at achieving inclusive growth and eradicating the rippling socio-economic challenges of unemployment, poverty and inequality.

Congratulations on your purchase of a genuine, handmade Oriental rug.
An Oriental rug is a purchase that is meant to last a lifetime. The art of the handmade rug is a treasure and should be cared for as such to ensure life-long enjoyment.
What is a genuine Oriental rug?
Oriental rugs today are made in various locations throughout the Middle East, Far East and Eastern Europe. The beauty in the handmade rug comes from the skill and devotion of trained weavers tying each knot by hand.
Most rugs are made with wool pile on cotton foundations (although other natural materials could be used such as silk or hemp). Wool is an ideal material to use for rugs because of its superior characteristics. Wool is an extremely strong fiber, durable and resilient under the pressures of footsteps. It has a natural stain resistance and the lanolin serves as a water repellent. Wool can be easily cleaned and stays clean longer than most other materials.
The first step in making an Oriental rug is to collect and treat the wool. Wool is shorn from sheep annually, then cleaned, combed, carded and spun by hand. The wool is then dyed by master dyers, who often use natural ingredients to create beautiful vivid colors. The wool is then dyed by hand. Once the wool is ready, cotton warps are strung on a loom to create the foundation on which to tie the knots. Each knot is tied individually, by hand, in a straight row across the loom. After a row of knots is tied, weft threads are woven across and between the warp threads and beat down on the row of knots to secure the knots in place. This simple, yet skilled method is repeated throughout the entire rug until completion. For an average size rug, this could take 4-6 months. The rug is then cut off the loom and sheared to create an even pile. A thorough cleaning and close inspection by a master craftsman finishes off the rug and prepares it for the consumer.
The beauty and quality of your Oriental rug can be maintained for decades to come with proper care and cleaning. This information will assure you years of luxuriant service from your Oriental rug.
Despite the natural durability and longevity of handmade rugs, there are steps you must take to ensure a long life.
General wear and tear can occur on any floor covering, yet simple steps can be taken to minimize damage from general traffic. Keep the rug clean and free of excess debris by either shaking or vacuuming regularly. Keeping dirt from getting ground into the pile will help keep the pile from getting matted down. Rotating your rug 180° every 6-12 months will equalize the effects of wear on your rug. Finally, a good quality pad under your rug is recommended for rug preservation. Padding stabilizes the rug, minimizes friction between the floor and rug and has an added benefit of absorbing sound.
Heavy furniture can cause the pile to be crushed. The pile can easily be restored by spraying the matted area lightly with water (or letting an ice cube melt over the spot) and brushing the area with a soft brush. Be careful not to soak the area or use a coarse or wire-bristle brush as these will damage the wool.
Sunlight can also be detrimental to your rug. Continual exposure to sunlight will eventually cause color fading and increase the rug's brittleness. Try to limit exposure to sunlight when possible. Rotating the rug 180° will also help equalize the effects of sunlight.
Although wool has a natural, water-repellent quality, excessive dampness can cause long-term effects leading to mildew and dry rot which makes the fibers break down and eventually deteriorate. Spills should not be cleaned by soaking the rug and planters should not be placed on a rug without circulation between the container and the rug itself.
Moths can cause great damage to wool rugs. Moths lay eggs in the pile of wool rugs. When these eggs become larvae, they feast on the wool, oftentimes to the point of creating holes completely through the pile of the rug. Although moths are attracted to wool, they will not survive in areas that are well trafficked or exposed to air and light. Keep your rug vacuumed, especially if it lies underneath furniture. Rugs in storage should be cleaned professionally, treated with a moth-repellent and wrapped in heavy paper and/or a sheet. Plastic wrap is not recommended as it does not allow air flow and may result in unwanted accumulation of moisture.
A rug may be hung as an effective decorative accessory. There are a variety of ways to do so and a professional rug dealer should be consulted for the best method. Rugs that are hung still need to be vacuumed or shaken out periodically to keep moths from developing and to keep dust from accumulating in the pile.
Vacuum, sweep or simply shake your rug regularly to remove any loose dirt. Turning the rug over and vacuuming or sweeping the underside is also recommended to remove the dirt ground into the foundation of the rug. Keep the fringe neat by combing it with a fringe rake or shaking it from the corner. Flip up the ends of the rug and sweep or vacuum under the fringe to be sure dirt does not get imbedded in the fringe.
Handmade rugs should be professionally cleaned every 2-5 years. Rugs in high traffic areas, like the kitchen or bathroom, may need more frequent cleaning. It is best to take your rug to a professional cleaner specializing in Oriental rugs. Avoid using dry-cleaners or in-house carpet cleaners as these methods typically use high heat and/or chemicals, both of which can be damaging to the rug. NEVER put your handmade rug in a washing machine!
Pet accidents can often leave behind stains and odors that require a more intense form of cleaning – an enzyme wash. The enzyme wash will return the rug to its natural suppleness and eliminate the odor. Consult your local Oriental rug dealer to see if your rug could benefit from this type of cleaning. (Please note, the acidity in pet urine can cause an irreversible, chemical reaction to the dye on the wool. This is a permanent stain that no cleaning can remove).
If something spills on your rug, deal with it immediately. Before it penetrates the foundation, use a spoon to scoop up the spill. Dilute the spill with water and blot (do not rub) the liquid up until all the moisture is removed. Blot from the outer edge to the center to prevent the spill from spreading. Always use a white cloth or paper towel to absorb the stain – not a colored napkin!
If a spill has dried on the rug and left a stain, there are various ways to handle this. Many stains can be treated with mild detergents and simple solutions like water and vinegar. Some stains, however, should not be treated with water-based solutions. It is a good idea to contact a professional experienced in Oriental rug care before tackling a stain.
Even with the most diligent care of your rug, incidents may occur that will require a repair. Consult an expert Oriental rug dealer to assess the needed repair.
Mousaian Oriental Rugs is a family-owned business in its fourth generation.
The business began in 1922 by Simon Kirkjian who also managed the rug department at Rike's Department Store in Dayton, OH. Simon taught the trade to his nephew, Joseph Mousaian, who with his wife, Helen, opened Mousaian Oriental Rugs in north Dayton. Joe and Helen cleaned, repaired and sold handmade Oriental rugs for 35 years until they passed the business on to their daughter, Susanne. While she and her husband, Paul Weaver, continue to work in the business, a fourth generation has been added. In 2008 their daughter-in-law, Jennifer, joined them. With a showroom in Oakwood and expert cleaning and repair services, Mousaian Oriental Rugs continues to provide the highest quality of service to clients throughout Southwest Ohio.

Between now and 2020, Marathon Petroleum plans to become a lot more than just an independent oil refiner. Here is how management plans to do it.
The further and further away we get from the spin off of Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC), the better and better the decision is looking. Since the spin-off from Marathon Oil (NYSE:MRO) in 2011, shares of Marathon Petroleum have more than doubled the S&P 500 on a total return basis and have run circles around the former parent company.
Even more impressive is the past few quarters, when Marathon has benefited immensely from cheap crude oil and natural gas feeding its refineries. But management doesn't intend to simply ride this favorable refining environment. Rather, it has major plans over the next five years to become a major force in the American oil and gas industry. Here are five quotes from the company's analyst day presentation that give a quick picture of what the company is planning to do and how it will get there.
With the addition of MarkWest Energy Partners, there are certainly plenty of potential development projects Marathon can pursue. As long as it does so without putting either business in a compromising debt position, then it could be a very compelling plan.
[O]ver the long term, we believe that domestic gasoline demand will decline modestly, and that some of that's going to occur really as a function of the CAFE standards. But any decline in the gasoline demand from the CAFE standards, we think, will be more than offset by our opportunities in the export market. And we do believe that distillate demand will continue to be strong going forward in the U.S.
Another thing to consider is over that same time frame, Marathon also expects diesel and jet fuel demand to increase enough to offset some of the declines in gasoline. Using a model of constant refined petroleum product demand, Marathon's decision to not make large refining investments and pursue midstream development instead seems pretty logical.
Looking forward to our future growth. You can see, we have an outstanding portfolio of projects that provide an excellent platform. As you see here, by 2020, the STAR, the cat cracker and other refining projects will increase our EBITDA by $1 billion a year on investment of less than $3 billion. Our investment in our refinery growth projects would typically achieve a simple payback in 3 years. And as you can see here, we will continue to provide these type of high returns to Marathon Petroleum.
As this chart shows, a lot of those investment dollars are earmarked for integrating its Galveston Bay and Texas City refineries into a single South Texas refinery. What is most impressive about these numbers is the expected rates of return. A three year payback period on $3 billion makes for a very compelling investment.
The MarkWest merger with MPLX creates a tremendous platform, with a compelling growth story over an extended period of time. The ability to grow distributions for unitholders is underpinned by this extraordinary set that totals $27 billion to $33 billion. MPC has a large and growing inventory of drop-downs, with an estimated value of $13 billion to $16 billion, roughly half of the total identified investment opportunity. This is augmented by a growing organic investment portfolio at MPLX, over the next 3 years, which totals $800 million. MarkWest has a very significant capital investment plan of $7.5 billion or $1.5 billion per year, on average, over the next 5 years. Together, we've identified incremental opportunities that we're pursuing of $6 billion to $9 billion. We're pursuing these opportunities jointly between MarkWest, MPLX and MPC, and we'll leverage our respective expertise and pursue these commercial synergies at a lower cost to capital, with support from MPC.
These numbers look pretty appealing, and much of that spending is going toward high-impact projects in the infrastructure starved Northeast of the U.S. However, it's important to keep in mind that all of this spending needs to be financed in one way or another. Many master limited partnerships have been bitten as of late by the high cost of capital in the equity market today and banks becoming much more fastidious about debt lending. So any investor that sees these types of numbers needs to be mindful that these aren't guaranteed projects if no financing is available.
We're very committed to maintaining investment-grade profile. We've had discussions with the rating agencies. That's been affirmed. We will be slightly higher levered going into the first quarter of the merger, and then we've indicated our desire and our efforts around growing -- growth in EBITDA will be to decrease leverage over 2016 and get more to a 4x level. We've also made it public that we are refinancing the MarkWest notes. Again, these are at very good terms. There a long tenors, so it's a great portfolio of debt for the partnership to inherit, and then we've also indicated over time our target goal is a 1.1x distribution coverage ratio.
Most of this sounds like a model that will ensure access to the debt markets. Most ratings agencies like to see a debt to EBITDA ratio of 4.5 times or less, so that 4.0 target is a good one. If we were to nit pick as investors, though, it would be more encouraging if the company were to maintain a more conservative target distribution coverage ratio. With so many projects lined up over the next several years, retaining some cash to fund growth now could really help the company avoid any unforeseen issues when it comes time to raise capital.

ISSUE Voters
Net Neutrality Important to Democratic Voters — but Not to Democratic Campaigns
59% of Democrats say the issue plays a significant factor in deciding whom to vote for in the midterm elections
Getty Images / Morning Illustration by Czarina Divinagracia and Samantha Elbouez
By Edward Graham October 19, 2018 at 1:27 pm ET
54% of voters ages 18-29 say a candidate's support for net neutrality is somewhat or very important when determining their vote, up from 49% in a May poll.
58% of registered U.S. voters say they support net neutrality.
After the Federal Communications Commission's Republican majority voted in December 2017 to repeal Obama-era net neutrality rules that prohibited internet service providers from blocking online content, Democratic lawmakers' efforts to undo the repeal have faded, with one attempt passing the Senate in May but stalling in the House.
And with only a few weeks to go to the midterm elections, the issue of net neutrality is absent from many Democratic candidates' campaigns, which are largely focused on topics such as immigration, health care and President Donald Trump.
But a new Morning Consult/Politico survey shows that support for net neutrality remains strong among Democratic voters, although it's uncertain whether that support is enough to get people to vote.
The survey, conducted Oct. 11-14 among a national sample of 1,959 registered voters, found 59 percent of self-identified Democratic voters considered support for net neutrality to be a somewhat or very important factor when deciding which candidate to support during the midterm elections — a figure that was unchanged from polling conducted May 17-19. Among all voters in the latest survey, 50 percent said the issue would be an important consideration when choosing a candidate.
The survey also found that 61 percent of Democratic voters backed net neutrality, just above the 58 percent of all registered voters said the same.
The issue is important to 54 percent of voters ages 18-29 as well, an increase from the 49 percent of such voters who were asked the same question in May, but turnout from young voters tends to be smaller compared to turnout from older age groups. Both polls have a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
Chris Lewis, the vice president of Public Knowledge, a public-interest advocacy group that supports net neutrality, said the public's support for net neutrality shows that candidates who support the Obama-era rules could benefit in the voting booth.
"Net neutrality hasn't gotten a lot of headlines in the last few months, so for a new candidate, that's why they might not dive into it," Lewis said in a Tuesday phone interview. "The ones who have though are smart, because there's a lot of support for it."

Josh Harder, the Democratic challenger to GOP Rep. Jeff Denham in California's 10th Congressional District, called net neutrality "an important mobilizer for younger voters."
"Making sure that we're talking to them about an issue that really has a lot of resonance is really impactful," Harder, who has included net neutrality as part of his campaign platform, said in a Saturday phone interview. The Denham-Harder race is rated a "tossup" by Sabato's Crystal Ball as of Thursday.
But most Democratic candidates aren't highlighting the issue in their campaigns as they choose to prioritize other, more immediate concerns for voters, Democratic strategists say.
"Democrats are simply meeting voters where they are," Jeb Fain, communications director for the pro-Democrat House Majority PAC, said by email Wednesday. "It's not that net neutrality isn't an important issue – it absolutely is, and it has a place in the conversation. That said, health care is the overriding top concern of voters in district after district."
And a belief that net neutrality support is important for choosing a candidate may not translate into enthusiasm or votes.

"It's frustrating, quite frankly, because it's an issue that we should be able to win on," Achim Bergmann, a Democratic strategist and partner at Bergmann Zwerdling Direct, said by phone Wednesday. "But it's not something that people bring up in their top list of concerns, and it's not something that they're getting riled up about and emotional about at the moment."
California Gov. Jerry Brown (D) signed legislation at the end of September that would have restored net neutrality protections across the state, but the Department of Justice quickly filed suit to block the law.
Harder said the confrontation between California and the DOJ has the potential to further stoke voter passions about net neutrality.
"The reality is that some voters, at least, are able to connect that and say 'OK, well that means that the only way we're going to be able to make permanent progress on this issue is if we elect members of Congress who are going to fight for it,' " Harder said.

The trial, which was to be a tangle of conflicting scientific evidence, began on 18 September 1995 in the Christchurch High Court.
Judith Ablett-Kerr QC represented Calder. Richard Raymond and Mark Zarifeh appeared for the Crown. There were 10 men and two women on the jury, ordinary citizens who would be expected to cope with a barrage of conflicting scientific argument, and, with some assistance from trial judge Justice Tipping's summing up, would try to decide guilt or innocence.
The Crown contended Calder had the motive, opportunity, knowledge and intent to poison Lloyd including access to acrylamide from the medical school. Fictitious letters written by Calder were produced to establish that Calder had been angry and deceitful. Witnesses testified that she had been furious with Lloyd and that she was familiar with toxins such as acrylamide.
One witness said Calder had told her "no one will cross me" and that there "were things that could not be discovered" and had used a scientific name the witness could not recall. Another work colleague testified that Calder had told her she had a substance which, if smeared on door handles could be absorbed through the skin with fatal, untraceable results. A further witness recounted a conversation with Calder in the medical school cafeteria who said "any good biochemist knows four different ways of killing a person without leaving a trace".
However, the major flaw in the prosecution's case was that no one could place Calder with Lloyd on the day he became ill. Nor were they able to establish conclusively that Lloyd had been poisoned with acrylamide. Much of the scientific evidence dealt with new and novel approaches to analysis and this aspect was savaged by the Defence.
The cornerstone of the Crown's scientific evidence was in finding a substance in Lloyd's hair as well as in his blood known as carboxyethyl cysteine or CEC, a by-product of acrylamide. A scientist found samples of Lloyd's hair taken three weeks after he fell ill, contained 100 times higher CEC than a control group, some of whom had worked with acrylamide.


FYI – Ivy Blue has a few of the new Billy Bag colors and a couple of lovely suede bags and will be having a 30% off promotion on Monday, March 13. Stay tuned for more details!!
Thanks for the update. Do you know whether the discount is applied before/after checkout? Just tried getting one, although stopped myself before the card processed the full price. Also attempted to contact Frankey's, but I think their site is a bit wonky.
These bags at Frankey's don't seem to be on sale. It says "as low as" and when you click to buy the bag it is the original price. Very misleading.
Do you love your JD bag? I'm thinking of splurging on the jacky bag. Is your robert bag really light? I know my MJ bags are kind of heavy…I like the thought of a "light" bag. After visiting Paris I saw a Jacky Bag over there but didn't buy. It was the suede one and I wanted an all leather one.
ah…I did it! I got it and love it! I got it in mocha from Tender Birmingham. It's perfect!
yay joyce!! you got the jacky? i love that style. congratulations!!!
I just purchased the Joel in the souris very understated and chic!

Adam Webster spoke to three Bristol City old boys before switching to Ashton Gate
New Robins defender also explained what he'll bring to the club
Gregor MacGregor
Adam Webster has big shoes to fill. He signed for the Robins just a day after the sale of Aden Flint to Middlesbrough and many fans will see him as the former Swindon Town man's replacement.
However, Webster offers different attributes to Flint, although the new Bristol City recruit has vowed to try and chip with some goals this season too following in the footsteps of the central defender before him.
We got the chance to speak to Webster on Thursday at a media open day at the club, and we asked the 23-year-old about what Lee Johnson had said to him to convince him to sign for City.
And also what the City old boys at Ipswich had had to say about playing for the Robins.
Adam Webster signs for Bristol City
"When I spoke to Lee Johnson it was a great conversation. It's a very ambitious club and it's heading in the right direction and for me that's what I want to be doing.
"I want to play as high as I can and this club wants to play in the Premier League so I was sold from the moment I spoke to him and I couldn't wait for it to get over the line."
And on those old Bristol City boys who put a good word in? Cole Skuse?
How a Bristol City star could influence England's World Cup quarter-final against Sweden
"Yeah, Skusey, I was speaking to almost every day about it. Dean Gerken and Jordan Spence too. They were really positive about the place and the move is really exciting for me."
Bristol City play against Nottingham Forest at home on the first game of the season on Saturday August 4 and Webster will hope to be in that initial XI.
He comes with a reputation as being a ball-playing centre-back, which we put to him.
"Yeah, I like to think so. I like to bring the ball out from the back when I can, but I like to defend as much as I like to do that so it's not a case of not being a defender as well but yeah I like to bring the ball out and start attacks," he said.
Webster has no preferences for a centre-back partner but explained that "relationships will get built on the pitch".

Spodden Valley 'Greyfield' asbestos discussed at Westminster
Spodden Valley "Greyfield" asbestos discussed at Westminster
Spodden Valley asbestos issues were discussed in the corridors of power in Westminster this week.
Tuesday's All-Party asbestos subcommittee heard from Graham Dring, Chairman of the UK Asbestos Victim Support Group Forum. He expressed concern about ongoing issues of environmental exposure to asbestos from the former Turner Brothers Asbestos (TBA) site.
Ongoing controversy continues about the Spodden Valley site with local people saying they have many unanswered questions about the asbestos testing techniques used by Rochdale Council and the landowners of the 70-acre site.
The subcommittee was asked to look into the relationship of both the public and private sector with responsibilities for planning, remediation and public safety relating to asbestos contaminated land.
Mr Dring says: "There is case for considering some 'brownfield' sites as especially hazardous. Perhaps creating a new classification, such as 'greyfield', is more appropriate to ensure such contaminated land is treated with the upmost respect. Standard testing and remediation techniques for complex asbestos sites may not be safe enough.
"We are concerned that local people and former asbestos workers have not had their concerns heeded. It is as if historical facts about the TBA site are an inconvenient truth that some want to see swept under the carpet."
Hilda Palmer of the Greater Manchester Hazards Centre added: "The Chancellor announced in the Budget that the Homes & Communities Agency is to be rebranded as 'Homes England'.
It is ironic that the new name omits 'community' the very people whose lungs are on the front line if grossly contaminated sites are improperly remediated.
"It is essential that there is transparency and accountability between those responsible for enforcing regulations designed to keep the public safe and those that they are supposed to be protecting.
"There is a danger of a closed 'club' of corporate lobbyists dominating land regeneration policy with cash-strapped bodies such as the HSE, Environment Agency and Local Authorities lacking the power and resources to put people before short-term profit.
"Toxic and blighted 'greyfield' sites such as TBA in the Spodden Valley could serve urban communities safely as 'green lungs' of amenity space."

Vegan market returns for bigger and better festive edition
Rochdale's first-ever fully-vegan market in the hot summer was a resounding success – and the organisers are back with an even bigger and better.


We asked what the most difficult parts about trying to live more zero waste were recently and lack of zero waste/bulk shops came up as the top answer.
There are so many ways you can live more zero waste without having a zero waste shop near you. Stop judging yourself by what you can't do or help with but praising yourself for what you can, until you can take it to the next level.
Say no – it can be embarrassing the first one or two times you say it as you may not want to make a drama, but luckily with the 'blue planet effect' and media attention, you've got this on your side. Say no to bags, straws, freebies (junk 'gifts'), plastic bottles and instead bring your own.
Stop – Stop listening to the adverts that make you feel worthless and drive you to go buy the latest thing you'll use once and really don't need. Get adblockers on your browser, skip ads on videos you're watching and start focusing on what actually makes you happy. Also, stop to write your list before you leave the house with your wallet. This will all help curb your impulse buying.
Remember your bags – Simple and effective. Carry lightweight fold-able cloth bags inside each other in your bag at all times, handmade t-shirt bags are great for this.
Make your own food – meals and drinks are the biggest culprits here. We think we don't have enough time in the day to make our own when in reality most of us do. It took a look at my 'digital health' app on my phone to see just how much time I spent scrolling through Facebook, Instagram and Pinterest and being reminded if I want to watch the next show on Netflix, when I could have been making meals and snacks, replying to emails, tackling the mile long to do list etc. I urge you to do the same, we're all guilty of it.
Making food/saving resources (continued) – if you still don't have time, start saving time by making everything at the same time and batch cook or save resources by baking your own cereal bars whilst cooking your dinner in the oven.
Eat seasonally and locally if you can – It's far more environmentally friendly to eat seasonally and locally than it is to buy grapes all year round. Speak to neighbours, community gardens, allotments and look up local farms/farmers about buying from them directly or collecting together to get veg box deliveries. If this isn't fruitful (pardon the pun) then have a go at growing what you can on your windowsill or in your own garden.
Hydrate – While I love having cold water to drink and my insulated water bottle encourages me to drink more water, I don't really need it. I have also now banned myself from buying water (it's free after all!) and unless I have my water bottle with me or something to drink from with me, I don't buy it. Just a simple glass jar works for drinking from – same goes for takeaway coffee and tea.
Start hoarding (slightly) – glass jars and bottles, these all work really well for drinking from, buying food and storing food in. Tins can be used for your own herb garden on your window sill too!
Cleaning up – So many different products clutter our homes with different room/appliance name tags on them. Cleaning your home with a bar of soap, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar works just as well with a little extra workout in it so no need for the gym! Check out our eco-friendly cleaning guide here.
Sort out your recycling – A little extra work, but worth it so that your recycling efforts don't go to waste. Remove plastic windows from envelopes, peel labels from tins and wash out your jars and tins before recycling.
Delete your emails – Simple, yet effective! You can reduce your carbon footprint/e-carbon footprint by simply deleting emails you no longer need and unsubscribing from the junk mail that spams your inbox.
Cover up when cooking – When you're cooking, cover your pots with lids to not only cook quicker, therefore saving yourself on energy bills, but also reducing wasting energy.
Reducing the post – Complete the form on the post office website and send it to them, notifying them you no longer want to receive marketing post, You can also put a sticker on your letterbox to say no junk mail, if you still receive some after this, complain to the companies. Unsubscribe from the magazines and catalogues you can easily access online.
Get an Aloe Vera plant – good for so many things such as soothing burns and cuts, we've also heard for drinking Aloe juice and lubricant (not sure if safe with condoms though).
No need for bubble baths or baths – Reduce the amount of times you have a bath, the amount of water used is crazy! When you do indulge, skip the bubble bath creme. Bubble bath typically does nothing for your skin and instead dries it out, completely counteracting it. Instead, try a few drops of oil like jojoba or vitamin e or use porridge oats to soften the skin. Oats work really well on soothing skin problems like dry, cracking skin, dermatitis (what I get troubles with) and eczema. Pour oats into a muslin or thin cloth, tie and then squeeze every so often while soaked to create your own milk bath. It can sometimes smell like porridge if you squeeze a lot, so put a couple of skin safe essential oils in if you're not a porridge fan.
Olive oil it up – Olive oil isn't only great for your insides, but also the outside! It's a great vitamin rich oil which easily soaks into your skin and only a little is needed at a time. Some people use coconut oil too but I've personally found this clogs my pores but everyone is different.
Shop second-hand and borrow – This has been my favourite part as it's something I've always loved to do but always thought people thought less of me. Luckily since maturing and being an adult, shopping second-hand has not only saved a lot of money, but also found me amazing finds I will truly treasure forever! If you only need something for an evening or a day, then ask your friends, neighbour and community if you can borrow from them.
Use your locals – So many public services are being closed due to 'lack of interest', places like community centres and libraries, we need to keep these open! Not only for the borrowing books and 'free wifi' but for connecting with our local community. Host events in your local halls, such as community meals, quiz nights or even your own markets.
Use your locals (continued) – Shop local too to support the local economy and keep businesses in their premises so that there aren't lots of empty buildings. You may have more sway by asking these businesses to go plastic free too.
Rent a room – Flat/house share to use your home to the fullest potential, have a family feel and share the bills. Empty/spare rooms just means waste of energy, housing costs and your carbon footprint higher.
Car share – If you don't have access to public transport and can't cycle, hook up with friends, colleagues and/or fellow students and share the car journey and costs. Just make sure you all agree to the playlists or radio station and chip in for fuel/parking costs.
Order takeaway – If you need a takeaway fix, take your own containers to the takeaway outlet, turn up 10 minutes before you're meant to with your tubs and ask them to fill those instead. Again, it's weird at first, but our local takeaway thanked us as it saves costs for them ordering more tubs!
Load a full wash – Not using your washing machine to it's full capacity wastes a lot of energy and resources, so fill your washing machine up anytime you're doing a wash.
Turn off the switches and lights – The reminders you had from parents and teachers growing up had a valuable lesson behind them, save energy and your bills by switching off. Simple but effective.
Fill your kettle as little as possible – If you're a tea addict like myself, then only fill the kettle with as much water as you need or, use a teapot and tea cosy!
Plant a tree – There are lots of campaigns to plant trees physically, you can even plant trees just by browsing the internet using the Ecosia search engine which comes as a handy plugin on Chrome.
Switch energy supplier – there are some great green energy deals now and a lot are cheaper than 'ordinary' tariffs now too if available in your area.
Repair – 'Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without' a quote from the Great Depression but rings true for frugality and zero waste. 'Mending and Making Do' is something that is coming back with a vengeance thankfully alongside buying second-hand now.
Re-use and Re-purpose – Above all else, use what you've already got is the best way to reduce your waste. So, use those plastic food bags as many times as you can before throwing them away, re-use your sauce jars and cut up holey t-shirts into handkerchiefs etc. Use up what you can and re-use them as many times as possible.
So, 31 ways to reduce your waste that isn't bulk shopping!
It was difficult to keep it to 31 (I've added more since editing this) and I'm sure there will be more posts to add to this list in the future.
Need some more inspiration? Here are 4 changes you can make today and 11 simple cheap or free zero waste hacks – to get you even more inspired.
Yes, we're a zero waste shop, and we hope you like our products but we also want you to be living what's best for you. Hopefully helping you to reduce your waste in the many other ways there are if you don't have (and until you do have) access to a zero waste shop for bulk, plastic free food.

Q: Setting alpha to zero does not make my label transparent I have a label in my main window that displays some text. I also have a background image in the main window that needs to show through the label. Only the background and the text should be visible.
I've set the alpha to zero with a white label background following the instructions I found on SO (here and here).
label->setStyleSheet("background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);");

However, I still see a dark box.

A: You should set your main window transparent by adding these to the constructor of your main window :
setAttribute(Qt::WA_NoSystemBackground);
setAttribute(Qt::WA_TranslucentBackground);

You can also create a borderless dialog by setting Qt::FramelessWindowHint window flag :
setWindowFlags(Qt::Window | Qt::FramelessWindowHint);

Mar 01, 2011 · The metal ion generation takes place at the anode, and hydrogen gas is released from the cathode. The hydrogen gas can help to float the flocculated particles out of the water ( Chen, 2004 ). Heidmann and Calmano (2008) studied the performance of an EC system with aluminium electrodes for removing Zn 2+ , Cu 2+ , Ni 2+ , Ag + and Cr 2 O 7 2− .

In this lab you will watch and listen to a video presentation about GC, look at a research-level GC instrument, and learn how to do a qualitative and Jun 18, 2019 · Hydrogen gas generated in today's experiment is, however, a real gas not an ideal gas. Real gases consist of molecules of finite size, which exert forces on each other. A gas will act like an ideal gas if its gas molecules are small, when the pressure is low, and the temperature is high.

SNAP was established under Section 612 of the Clean Air Act to identify and evaluate substitutes for ozone-depleting substances. The program looks at overall risks to human health and the environment of existing and new substitutes, publishes lists and promotes the use of acceptable substances, and provides the public with information.
There are certain things that will help us identify if a chemical reaction has taken place. We call these evidences of chemical reactions. Light is given off: Potential energy in valance electrons is released in the form of light. Gas is given off: Indicates an increase in kinetic energy of the atom (compound) as it is changed to a gas.

More complex fireworks shells are launched from a mortar, a tube with black powder that causes a lift-off reaction when lit.Non-metals are the elements in groups 14-16 of the periodic table. Non-metals are not able to conduct electricity or heat very well. As opposed to metals, non-metallic elements are very brittle. The non-metals can be gases, such as oxygen and solids, such as carbon. The non-metals have no metallic luster, and do not reflect light.


Being wedding photographers, our ultimate job is to capture the love. And we're not just talking that of the two people about to get married, we're talking about the whole celebration. Because at the end of the day, it's also our role to capture the love filling up the entire place–the love of friends and family as they see the bride for the very first time, the love of a mother as she sees her son shed a tear, the love in a father's embrace as he dances with his daughter–and making it all resonate through our lenses.
We really take pride in what we do and we go the extra mile each and every time. When we were asked to cover this special event, we could not have been any more ecstatic to show and experience a different kind of love, "The Greatest Love" at that. A couple of days ago we were tasked to cover a TV wedding for one of ABS-CBN's hit afternoon series, The Greatest Love, starring Sylvia Sanchez as Gloria and Nonie Buencamino as Peter. Gloria, who has Alzheimer's disease, is finally marrying her greatest love, Peter. And to be able to cover that love story? We were thankful to be given the opportunity. It was different, it was challenging, it was out of our comfort zone but above all else, it was fulfilling to be able to do this project.
And so please join our team's milestone for this TV wedding that will forever be etched in our memories. We present to you Gloria and Peter's "The Greatest Love". We hope you enjoy this slideshow!


Does Santa Claus have more in common with superheroes than we think?
Michael Dennin, physics and astronomy professor from the University of California, Irvine says in the world of superheroes, Santa could be in a league of his own.
Dennin teaches a class called "The Science of Superheroes," and uses the analysis of comparing Santa's "powers" to the likes of the Flash, Hulk and Antman as a method to teach the theory of relativity and the conservation of mass.
The comic book fan tells Take Two's host A Martinez that students are initially excited about the class but often forget the work involved in solving the mysteries of St. Nick — conundrums like calculating how the portly santa can squeeze into a tiny chimney.


The CCRA and partner organizations first received funding for and constructed a $350,000 treatment system for the Oneida #1 discharge location within the Eagle Rock Resort community. This simplistic system diverts approximately 2,500 gallons per minute (GPM) of acid mine drainage through three buried beds totaling 9,000 tons of high grade limestone.
The success of oneida #1 project resulted in the construction of a $2,100,000 system for the Audenreid mine discharge. This system treats up to 9,000 gpm of acid mine drainage by passing it through three large concrete tanks that contain a total of 20,000 tons of limestone.
A third smaller system has been constructed to treat the Oneida #3 discharge. All three systems include detention / sedimentation ponds to collect aluminum. Aluminum, in an acidic water soluction, is harmful to most forms of aquatic life. by eliminating the acidity, these systems also collect and eliminate the aluminum.
Plans are undeway to identify sources of water infiltration into the mines so that these sources can be eliminated. Although there is no way to keep normal ground water from entering the mines, it is possible to put streams back onto the surface that currently enter old workings and then exit through the five drainage tunnels by keeping this water on the surface, we can permanently increase the amount of clean water that enters the Catiwissa while reducing the amount of treated water.


A local project to link 8 practices so that when patients attend hospital/walk-in clinic as an emergency the attendant professional can access a summary sheet of the patient's medication allergies etc. This is not open access to records and the patient's permission would need to be sought at the point of contact. The project is to be trailed in Buxton during November and if all is ok go live for the HighPeak early 2013.
Pam handed round a power point print out explaining the role and expectation of the PPG.
Various points were discussed and the group is to consider how to ascertain patient's views.
Thanks were offered to Tania Kennedy who has resigned from the group. Tania had been a chairman of the group since its formation and we were sorry to see her leave.
Sheila introduced herself and was welcomed to the group.
Rob was appointed as chairman and took over the meeting.
Are patients aware of the PPG and its remit and how can we promote this group if the patients feel uncomfortable about approaching staff with any issues?
The last survey fed back some useful information such as the perceived lack of privacy at Sett Close – this was resolved by having music playing (after a consultation re the most acceptable type of 'noise').
Keith reported that following the proposed changes and the rumours that were around the Ambulance service will still be based in New Mills at the Fire Station.
We now have one new member of the group, Sheila.
Suggestions to 'advertise' on the notice board, facebook and the blog page.
Jacqui	to contact the business college to see if any young people that are registered at Arden House could join us at a meeting.
Rob advised that it was an event that didn't meet his expectations; he felt that names and titles had changed but that things seemed to be carrying on the same way in a different guise. Jacqui said she felt that we were being 'consulted' by being told what to think and that decisions had already been made.
Keith to look into opening bank account for PPG fundraising.
Keith and Tania to act as signatories for account.
3. Minutes of the last meeting: were approved with minor amendments and need to be published on the website.
·	One of the issues raised through the survey was the quietness in the reception at New Mills Surgery. A further survey has been carried out asking what people would like to have and the majority decision was music.
·	Another point from the survey was the toys in the reception area. Jacqui suggested using the toy library which is based at St George'sSchool, she will look into the feasibility of using this facility.
We discussed publishing another newsletter in September to promote flu jabs and promote another fundraiser to be held at the flu clinics in October.
Sally had looked for suitable lettering but as yet has not been able to source. We discussed the need for a title on the board as other people were posting notices.
There had been good reports of the event and it was noted that people did sit and chat.
We raised £67.56 in total – this includes a couple of donations made since the event.
As Keith had offered his apologies Sally reported from his report.
Keith has forwarded the details of the bank account to Sally to allow her to deposit the monies raised.

It was so much fun working for X last weekend. Shows at the Observatory are trickling in and there are some amazing ones in the pipeline that we just can't announce yet, but in the meantime, there are some good ones coming up. I'll tell you that the 2nd Spoon show is almost sold out and you should drop by the box office to grab tickets for Best Coast, too. The rest of the shows are selling alright, but you can probably just get tickets at the box office if you want to come by. I'm definitely looking forward to Neutral Milk on Thursday. Today, we're announcing MisterWives on October 16, with tickets on sale this Friday.

Legitimate Therapeutic Means: Can Catholics Use the Pill?
It's NFP awareness week. So let's talk about the Pill.
This means that couples who are trying to follow the Church's teaching on contraception are likely to get their information from sources which exaggerate the dangers involved in artificial contraception, overstate the effectiveness of NFP, and widen the scope of the Church's prohibition.
What actually happened was that I had a miscarriage. I was devastated. I had tried to make a very hard moral decision in the right way, and the result of it was that my unborn child died. For obvious reasons I was really angry and deeply grieved for a long time, and a lot of that anger was directed towards the Church. I felt that I had been given false information that prevented me from getting medical help, and that a child had died as a result.
For a lot of people in my situation, it would have ended there. It almost did for me. The combination of grief, trauma and moral exhaustion was nearly enough to break my faith – and it was enough to sink me into very deep depression for several years. I know that other people who have been through this type of spiritual wringer often simply leave the Church. They conclude that the teaching doesn't make sense, that they've been sold a load of goods, and they hit the road. Maybe they go to another denomination, maybe they give up on Christianity altogether.
This is why I'm writing about this: telling women that they cannot receive medical treatment to which they are legitimately entitled is not pro-life, and it's not Church teaching. It is a scandal, in the sense that it places women in an impossible bind that often makes them feel as if they have no choice but to abandon their faith.
If we go back to Humanae Vitae, we can see that " the Church does not consider at all illicit the use of those therapeutic means necessary to cure bodily diseases, even if a foreseeable impediment to procreation should result there from." This means that you are allowed to take medication that causes temporary sterility, provided your reason for doing so is to treat a physical ailment, rather than to avoid conception. Although the Pill is generally marketed as birth control, the fact is that it's also the treatment for other conditions. Using it to treat illness is not the same as using it to frustrate a natural process. This is actually implicit in one of the most common arguments against hormonal birth control, which is that you are treating a healthy bodily function (fertility) as if it were a disease. If your reproductive system is functioning in a way that places your health at risk, and you take the Pill in order to correct it, then you are not treating a healthy system as though it is sick – you are treating a sick system as though it is sick.
There are however two common objections to this in pro-life circles which need to be addressed: the argument that there are the better solutions, and the abortifacient argument. We'll deal with them in that order. After all, if we can use NFP to treat all of the problems that the Pill will supposedly help with, then surely there is no moral justification for using the Pill, right?

Technology stocks slid for the fourth consecutive day as investors worried that corporate profit margins are softening. Blue chips rose to end up 14.44 points at 4,608.44.
Shares of U.S. car companies moved higher on expectations automakers will report that sales increased in August from July. General Motor's shares jumped 1 3/4 to 47 1/4. Auto stocks had declined earlier on concern the dollar's rise against the Japanese yen might hurt automakers' earnings.
The dollar rose to a 12-day high against the yen on news that the International Monetary Fund will call on Japan to lower interest rates.
By late New York trading, the dollar was at 97.99 yen, up from 96.73 yen Monday. The dollar was higher at 1.4763 German marks vs. Monday's 1.4651 marks.
In the broader equities market, declining issues led advances 1,194 to 1,014 on moderate volume of 311 million shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
The technology-loaded Nasdaq composite index was off 4.51 points at 1,003.64.
John Dolan, an investment manager with Sand Hill Advisors in Menlo Park, ascribed the activity in technology stocks to mutual fund managers taking profits and shifting into other sectors. "If you have a portfolio with 40 percent invested in technology stocks, you need to consider when to change the asset allocation," he said. "For many, that time is here."
Dolan, however, is not predicting a rout in tech stocks. "To call this the top of the market might be premature," he said.
The price of the 30-year Treasury bond edged down 4/32, or $1.25 on a $1,000 bond, raising the yield to 6.71 percent from Monday's 6.70 percent.
The Chronicle/BayTV/Bloomberg index of 124 Bay Area companies fell 0.05 to 156.70.

After hearing about this tradition the distance captains (Tim and Michael) decided to hold a Pop mile to see who really has the most balls at Cascade High School.
The weapon of choice: Safeway Select Cola, easily the sweetest Cola ever, with a whoping 44 grams of sugar per can.
Steve got out to an early lead and held for three laps due to his incredible chugging ability, but was challenged in the last 200 by winner David Lomaro. In third was Iain Redding who went unchallenged for this spot, but if Captian Michael Fannin had raced, he totally could have rocked him. Or whatever. 4th and 5th were heated positions, with Tyler's superior chugging versus Tim's legs, it came down to the last 50m when Tim outkicked Tyler. Tyson and Zach struggled to the finish, a commendable act when Ben and Cameron pussed out like pussies.


Cheaters rejoice – Hasbro has created a 'Monopoly' just for you!
You are at:Home»Board Games»Cheaters rejoice – Hasbro has created a 'Monopoly' just for you!
Since the beginning of time game companies have been re-releasing their classics with different themes and unique spins on the original concepts… But perhaps the most intriguing one to date was just announced this past week by Hasbro.
That's right, Monopoly for Cheaters is due to be released this Fall- featuring a new set of rules which encourage players to cheat! Apparently market research revealed a high number of people participate in friendly rule-bending, so Hasbro wanted to take it one step further.
Being added to the Community Chest and Chance Cards, this version of Monopoly will feature 'Cheat' cards. They will essentially instruct players to carry out acts of sabotage and secret missions throughout gameplay. Those who do it well will be rewarded with free properties and cash… but watch out! If you're no smooth criminal you will lose money and probably end up in jail.
Will you be able to get away with stealing from the bank? Skipping spaces? Moving an opponents token? Collecting rent from someone else's property? Adding a hotel you didn't buy to your property? These are just a few examples of what is to come in the new edition. Do you have what it takes to succeed?
Personally I find this to be an exciting twist and look forward to getting in a session with my friends when it is released. The idea of secretly trying to thwart each other adds a fun layer to a classic game. Considering I don't usually prefer Monopoly (just look at some of my early writings)… I do like the idea of being sneaky. Basically, frustrated players will get a chance to do the things they've always wanted to in hopes of turning the game their way.
The reality is, everyone cheats during a board game at some point or another- why not make it official?
