Agree, before the woman managed to look stunningly and without arsenal of decorative and medical cosmetics, did not know the word "cellulitis" and kept the youth for many years.
It appears, these secrets were transferred by women in our family long since and helped to keep health and beauty very long. And as I am nature not superstitious, well, I will share them with you.
The first condition is respect for flatness in character, more or less quiet relation to vital problems and chagrin. Besides, continuous fight against human weaknesses, and also pure and truthful thoughts in soul.
So philosophical approach fine has surprised me and has pleased. But further rules more applicable to real life followed.
Early get up early and … you lay down.
Yes. p always thought that it is typographical error in the text, we often do everything on the contrary: we get up early and we go to bed late.
Every day without exception it is necessary to happen in the fresh air.
Temperature in bedroom should not exceed 14 °C.
Here it that! And I at first freeze and therefore densely I close window leaf in the room, and then I wake up in the middle of the night from intolerable closeness. Yes, live and learn!
It is not necessary to sleep on soft mattresses and pillows.
It is strict to observe purity of body.
Well, though I did something correctly. As they say, purity – guarantee of health!
Several times a week, and it is better to carry out daily before lunch gymnastic exercises.
Well, it is direct hint on my "excesses" in corporal question. Yes I know that it is necessary to go to the gym, but there is not enough time …. And here to carry out exercises before lunch it is worth trying: I will tell Lizke, Katya, they "suffer" from diets too … It is possible even to arrange such himself collective training. I hope, the chief will be delighted!
Put on always in compliance with climate and weather. Try to hold legs warm.
I do not know how this rule is applicable to my new boots though if to hook socks "with pile", there will be most that. And that is regarding clothes on weather, I agree with it: that for habit at our population to look out of the window "in what people go" … just at that time. When I look out of the window, for some reason by take place the granny in sheepskin coat "barefoot", the juvenile beauty in leather jacket and high fur boots.
It is obligatory to wash not only in the morning, but also for the night.
So … we will make investigation. In the morning I wash to wake up and prepare the forehead for drawing make-up. And in the evening this make-up it is necessary to remove and wash away its remains from face. That's right. My great-grandmother – the genius!
Not to gorge on before to feel weight in stomach. It is necessary to stop meal when you feel what could be eaten still. To eat only in certain hours.
The quantity of food has to be proportional to the movement: the less movements, the it is less than food.
Farewell, my evening sandwiches and night candies! Hello, evening walks in the fresh air, light thoughts in the head and happy life!
After all the wisdom checked for centuries - indisputable dilemma!

A group of aspiring entrepreneurial students in the UAE got their first taste of life at the top after spending the day with some of the country's most influential business leaders.
As part of the CEOx1Day scheme, 16 students were each paired with a high profile chief executive officer from companies including Dubai Opera, Siemens and Jaguar, for a full working day or longer.
The unique work experience programme by Odgers Berndtson, an international recruitment consultancy, was designed to uncover promising future leaders.
Whittled down from 200 hopeful applicants, the students underwent a number of psychometric assessments, interviews and tests before being hand-picked to represent their university as part of the scheme.
The final candidates came from institutions including American University of Sharjah, Middlesex University in Dubai, the University of Wollongong in Dubai and New York University Abu Dhabi.
Pooja Ganatra, an architectural engineering student from Heriot-Watt University in Dubai, worked alongside Paul Griffiths, chief operating officer of Dubai Airports, for most of a week. She said the experience gave her a "better understanding" of what goes into running such a huge operation.
"My incredible experience gave me great insights and an understanding of how Paul operates, and manages one of the busiest international airports in the world," she said.
"I was extremely fortunate to make it through such a rigorous process and I have enjoyed learning experiences along the way."
The two-way learning process offered some great insights for Mr Griffiths too.
Dubai airports chief Paul Griffiths said his student's fresh take on the job was 'incredibly powerful'. Leslie Pableo for the National
"Yet again this year we have had the pleasure of working alongside a remarkable student," he said.
"Expertise and knowledge are passed down from CEO to student, but information and valuable insights are also passed up from student to CEO."
Earlier this year, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum penned an open letter to the public urging UAE citizens and residents to do "incredible things".
The Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai's letter focused heavily on leadership style and how leaders need to be approachable.
"[That letter] was such a powerful lesson to us all," Mr Griffiths said.
"Pooja's insights into what I was doing, good and bad, were incredibly powerful and that's what you are looking for as a leader when you are out in the field."
Youssef Mouallem, regional managing director technology firm Dyson, was partnered with Touqa Beltagui, a computer engineering student at the American University of Sharjah.
"Our involvement in the highly innovative CEOx1 Day programme is a wonderful opportunity to learn a huge amount from the next generation of engineers and to tap into some innovative young minds of today in general," said Mr Mouallem.
"They genuinely help us at Dyson to evolve our product, develop our operations and consider new users."
The one-on-one shadowing programme was launched for the first time in the region in 2019.
And with the first cohort a major success, Mark Houghton, managing partner of Odgers Berndtson Middle East, said the programme would expand in the region in 2020.

The Weights and Measures Division monitors petroleum quality by checking all motor and heating fuels. Providing high quality uncontaminated petroleum products is vital in today's business climate.
Providing high quality, uncontaminated petroleum products is vital in today's business climate. Customers expect their cars and trucks to perform flawlessly on the gasoline or diesel fuel they buy. They expect their vehicles to start, accelerate, and deliver good mileage.
The operator of a retail petroleum business plays an important role in maintaining the level of product quality that helps develop and keep satisfied customers. Clean, uncontaminated petroleum products contribute to a cleaner and healthier environment, and to automotive safety.
Handling and disposal of contaminated fuel can contribute to long term environmental damage. It can also be costly to station owners.
In the short term, it is expensive to repair fuel-related damage to customers' cars. A station owner's insurance rates can increase as a result of repeated problems.
In the mid term, failure to care for the environment will cost customers. Many customers are increasingly aware of the need to preserve the environment -- they will not patronize a business that is careless about the environment.
In the long term, any environmental damage affects station owners and their children and grandchildren. Petroleum products spilled in the ground will end up in the water supply. Station owners who don't want to drink gasoline, should not spill any.
Tank maintenance is the first step toward preventing petroleum product contamination. Tanks must be leak free. Above ground and underground storage tanks are subject to U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulations, enforced by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA).
Station owners must regularly monitor tanks for leaks. Procedures for detecting leaks and preventing corrosion and spills are specified in federal regulations. The procedures vary depending on the age, type, and size of the tanks, and the type of piping between the tanks and pumps.
In Minnesota's climate, water is the most common contaminant in petroleum storage tanks. Water in tanks requires cleanup actions that range from pumping the water out of the tank, to removing all the product stored in the tank . It is critically important to keep water out of tanks.
Make sure that fill pipes are located on high ground, and that snow melt and runoff are directed away from them.
Check fill pipe caps. They must be water tight. Seals and latches must be in excellent condition. Replacing a fill cap is a lot less expensive than replacing a tank full of contaminated product, or paying to repair fuel-related damage to a customer's car.
Check vent pipes. They must have special caps to allow ventilation and prevent rain water entry. Faulty or missing vent caps are a common, but frequently overlooked, source of water contamination.
Newer tank installations have large catch basins surrounding the fill pipe openings. These basins are designed to catch product spills and overflow during tank filling. They're also great for catching and holding water. Catch basins must be kept clean and dry.
Many catch basins are equipped with a drain valve. This is not a water drain. It was designed to drain spilled product back into the storage tank. Water and dirt drained from catch basins will drain directly into storage tanks. Water and dirt must be removed from catch basins with a pump, mop, or sponge.
Water lying at the bottom of the storage tank can cause rust-through and leaking. Water removed from the bottom of a storage tank is loaded with toxic substances. Please don't pump water or petroleum products onto the apron, or into a storm sewer or drainage ditch.
Unloading the wrong product into a storage tank is another common cause of product contamination. To help prevent these errors, state law requires an identification tag which must be constructed of one 3-1/2 inch by 3-1/2 inch piece of aluminum or stainless steel. All surfaces of the tag must be coated with a permanent enamel paint or powder coating. The coating must be light blue for gasoline and alcohol products and dark green for petroleum distillate products. Lettering must be at least three-eighths of one inch high, and printed on the tag with permanent enamel paint or powder coating. Lettering must be black for gasoline and alcohol products and white for petroleum distillate products.
To help the transport driver avoid overfilling, the department recommends that the capacity of each storage tank be marked on the fill pipe. When an unloading error occurs, the mixed or contaminated product must be removed from the storage tank. Pumping is a potential source of spills. The easiest way to avoid a spill is to prevent unloading errors by clearly marking tanks.
Please note: Color-coded or marked storage tank covers are not acceptable. Covers are often lost during snow plowing, exchanged during inventory checking, or flipped over when product is delivered.
Oxygenated gasoline is more prone to contamination than straight gasoline. It requires special handling. Gasoline sold in Minnesota must be blended with ethanol. Ethanol is the only oxygenate used in Minnesota.
Ethanol and other oxygenates act as solvents, or cleaning agents. Storage tanks must be clean before filling with oxygenated gasoline.
Gasoline will not mix with water -- oxygenates will. Ethanol has a higher water tolerance than other oxygenates, but ethanol's ability to absorb water is limited. When storing oxygenated gasoline, tanks must be dry before filling, and must be kept dry.
If there is too much water in storage tanks, the oxygenate will separate from the gasoline. This is called a phase separation and will cause a layer of gasoline on top of a layer of oxygenate/water blend. The amount of water needed to cause a phase separation is temperature related. If the oxygenate/water blend is deep enough, it will be picked up by the pumps and delivered into customers' cars.
When a water/oxygenate blend develops at the bottom of a storage tank, it must be pumped out. Again, pumping is a potential source of spills and subsequent environmental contamination. The easiest way to avoid a spill is to prevent water problems. Check tanks, fill caps, and fill pipe vents regularly.
Water contamination in storage tanks. Water pumped from the bottom of a storage tank may be considered a hazardous waste, depending on the level of dissolved contaminants like rust, dirt, and petroleum products.
the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (612-624-1300) in the Twin Cities, or 1-800-247-0015 statewide).
For assistance in having tanks pumped, station owners should contact their petroleum equipment repair company.
Oxygenated fuel that has separated. Station owners experiencing a phase separation problem should follow the recommendations above to dispose of water and water/oxygenate mixtures pumped from tanks. In addition, the gasoline that remains in tanks after removing a water/oxygenate mixture will not meet state requirements for oxygenated gasoline. The fuel supplier should be contacted for assistance in blending and handling the remaining product.
Product unloading errors. A contaminated product may have to be pumped from a storage tanks if a transport driver has unloaded the wrong product into the tank. When an unloading error occurs, contact the fuel supplier for assistance in correcting the problem.
For complete information on regulations and procedures, contact the MPCA. In the Twin Cities, call 651-297-8679. From outside the Twin Cities, call 1-800-657-3864.
Facts about water, ethanol and how the two can combine.
How do you know if there is water in a station's gasoline?
Water is heavier than gasoline and, if present, will settle to the bottom of a storage tank. Environmental regulations require new storage tanks to be equipped with electronic sensors which alert the station operator if water is present.
The Department of Commerce Weights and Measures Division tests stations' storage tanks for water during its routine inspections. Tanks containing a gasoline/ethanol blend absorb water which may not be detected by either the tanks' sensors or the Weights and Measures investigator. Ethanol acts very much like the Isopropynol some people add to their vehicles' gas tanks in the winter. It absorbs the water and prevents gas line freeze. In small amounts, water in a gasoline/ethanol blend will not affect a car's performance.
How does a station operator remove the water from a phase-separated blend?
The best way to correct a water problem in an ethanol/gasoline tank is to drain the tank completely and replace it with uncontaminated product. An alternate method is to remove the ethanol/water mixture from the bottom of the tank and then wait 24 hours. The product CANNOT be sold to the public during this time. If more ethanol/water precipitates out, the operator must remove it from the tank and wait another 24 hours.
If no more ethanol/water precipitates out, the tank may be `topped off' with a mixture of ethanol and gasoline. It is very important to contact the Weights and Measures Division when using this method since the quantities of ethanol and gasoline added will depend on the size of the tank, the amount of the product remaining, and the amount of ethanol removed from the original blend. When the Weights and Measures Division determines that the product in the tank meets all octane and oxygenate requirements, the product may again be put up for sale to the public. The operator then contracts with a licensed hazardous waste carrier to transport the ethanol/water mixture which was removed from the bottom of the tank. The hazardous waste operator must dispose of the ethanol/water mixture in accordance with environmental regulations.
If ethanol absorbs water, how can you have water contamination in a gasoline/ethanol blend?
A gasoline/ethanol blend can absorb a certain amount of water. In general, the greater the percentage of ethanol in the blend, the larger the amount of water the blend will hold. Also, the higher the temperature, the greater amount of water the blend will hold. A blend that contains the maximum amount of water it can absorb for that temperature and percentage of ethanol is saturated.
If a saturated blend drops in either temperature or percentage of ethanol, the water will start to precipitate (fall) out of the solution and settle at the bottom of the tank. This water will be mixed with ethanol since ethanol bonds more easily with water than gasoline. The gasoline mixture at the top will still be saturated. It will continue to precipitate out a water/ethanol mixture as the percentage of ethanol drops until there is either no more water in the gasoline, or another saturation point is reached (if the temperature is rising at the same time, for example). This is what is referred to as a phase separation. A phase separation can occur in a storage tank or in a vehicle's gas tank. As soon as water/ethanol begins to precipitate out, an in-ground tank's sensors will be able to detect its presence and signal the operator that there is a problem.
If station operators do not intentionally water down their product, how does water get into a station's storage tank?
Ground water may seep in through cracks in older storage tanks; or rain or snow might get in through a cracked, poorly fitted, or improperly applied cap on the fill pipe. Environmental regulations for up-grading old tanks and installing new ones are eliminating these problems.
If water might not be detected, what prevents station owners from "watering down" their gasoline/ethanol blends?
Common sense. Gasoline/ethanol blends cannot absorb unlimited amounts of water. The amount they can absorb without causing customer problems depends on the volume of product, the percentage of ethanol, the temperature of the station's in-ground storage tank, the temperature of the customer's gas tank, and the amount of ethanol already in the customer's gas tank.
It would be almost impossible for station owners to water down their product and be sure that none of their customers would experience car problems. Station owners are liable for repairs if they sell water contaminated gasoline. They may also be subject to criminal prosecution if they are intentionally adding water to their product. Most station owners want to avoid those consequences and maintain a good reputation with their customers.
In addition, the Weights and Measures Division regularly samples diesel fuel and gasoline around the state and analyzes them in its laboratory. Laboratory tests can detect even small amounts of water in gasoline/ethanol blends. Station operators are usually happy to be informed of any water found so that they can take corrective action before it causes their customers problems.
Is water contamination in gasoline a big problem in Minnesota?
No. The vast majority of stations in the state will never experience any water contamination in their product.
What happens if people buy phase-separated gasoline?
If a phase separation occurs in a station's storage tank, the customer may get either gas/water/ethanol, gas/ethanol, or water/ethanol depending on the degree of separation, and the height of the water/ethanol phase in relation to the discharge pipe leading from the tank to the dispensers.
What should I do if I suspect I have purchased water contaminated gas?
Drain your tank and change your fuel filter. This is extremely important for carbureted vehicles since water can damage the carburetor. If the gasoline appears cloudy, or if it separates into visible layers, it probably contains water. Contact the station operator. (A canceled check or receipt to show when you purchased the gasoline is useful.) Most operators will be happy to work with you if the contaminated product came from their station.
If the operator is sure that the station's product is not contaminated with water, contact the Weights and Measures Division (612-215-5821). An investigator will be sent out to test the tanks and to collect samples for laboratory analysis. Make sure to call the Division as soon as possible. Most stations receive fuel shipments several times a week. It is best if the investigator can collect samples before another shipment has arrived. The investigator will contact you with the test results. In some cases the investigator may request a sample of the gasoline you drained from your tank.
If the station's product was not contaminated with water, the problem may lie with your vehicle tank. Tanks which are allowed to sit empty over the winter, or tanks with missing or improperly fitting gas caps may collect water. Keeping your gas tank full in the winter months and making sure that your gas cap is tight can reduce this problem. Remember, a rag stuffed into a fill pipe acts as a wick for moisture; it will not keep water out of your tank.
Will everyone who buys phase-separated gasoline experience car problems?
Fortunately, no. Very few people usually experience problems. Many people buying a water-saturated product will still have some unsaturated gasoline/ethanol blend in their tanks. Most people's gas tanks are often warmer than stations' in-ground storage tanks during the spring, summer, and fall months. This means that a blend which is saturated in the ground will no longer be saturated in the car's tank. In a few rare cases the water/ethanol phase in a contaminated tank may reach the level of the tank's discharge pipe. Usually a phase separation is detected and corrected long before this is the case. Any customer who purchases part of the water/ethanol phase will experience difficulties immediately.

Will update the linked posted as they tease new items.
Wow that Cap looks fantastic, hope he comes with an alternate head with wings!
Sideshow putting that hot toys Yoda to shame.
The Boba Fett looks great but does every mythos figure have to come with burlap rags?
The headsculpt does look good but have to see the price and I'm not preordering any SSC pieces anymore. I just got the HT Yoda for $160, so I'm not keen to replace him immediately. If this had some nice diorama piece with it that might entice me.
Haha I was thinking the same thing. Everyone spends their mythos time in the desert, no one's chilling on Coruscant.
Not really. Plus, a lot of SSC stuff looks great in promo and pre-order pictures and then look different upon release. SSC is a kind of wait and see approach. The Hot Toys Yoda looks near perfect anyhow, don't see that getting upstaged anytime soon.
The Mythos Vader, I beleive, was supposed to be in a scene on Mustafar, so no burlap rags. The statue has a paintjob to depict the reflection of fire and lava. Not sure that would work so well translated to a sixth scale figure. The helmet came off to reveal the scarred and bald countenance of Anakin/Vader in his thirties. They could probably do that, at least.
A wild Hot Toys Yoda-owner appears!
The Darth Maul bust is pretty amazing and better than the last one they did.
What do you guys think about the Batman vs Superman diorama? Worth the $800-$900 they're going to charge for it?
Being a HUGE Batman: The Animated Series fan, I was pretty excited when this was announced, but I must admit I don't know how I feel about this Batman statue.
Also wonder why they went with a New Batman Adventure look rather than TAS.

I wonder what iteration the 1/6 Joker will be. Their 1/6 figures are hit or miss.
I must admit I don't know how I feel about this Batman statue.
The stylization is off. It looks like Mr. Incredible in a Batman suit. Bruce Timm might have signed off on the design to some extent, but it's probably not his sculpt. I'm betting that the 3d modeler used a Mr. Incredible template.

Franklin Resources Inc. is an American holding company that, together with its subsidiaries, is referred to as Franklin Templeton Investments; it is a global investment firm founded in New York City in 1947 as Franklin Distributors, Inc. It is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol BEN, in honor of Benjamin Franklin, for whom the company is named, and who was admired by founder Rupert Johnson, Sr. In 1973 the company's headquarters moved from New York to San Mateo, California. As of March 2017, Franklin Templeton Investments had US$740 billion in assets under management (AUM) on behalf of private, professional and institutional investors.[2][3]
2 Mutual funds
3 Regulatory issues
The company was founded in 1947 in New York by Rupert H. Johnson, Sr., who ran a successful retail brokerage firm from an office on Wall Street.[citation needed] He named the company for American polymath Benjamin Franklin because Franklin espoused frugality and prudence when it came to saving and investing.[4] The company's first line of mutual funds, Franklin Custodian Funds, was a series of conservatively managed equity and bond funds designed to appeal to most investors.
After Rupert Sr. retired, his son, Charles B. Johnson (Charlie), took over as president and chief executive officer in 1957 at age 24. At that time the funds had total assets under management of US$2.5 million.[5] Rupert Johnson, Jr., Charlie's brother, joined the company in 1965.[6]
Franklin went public in 1971.[7] In 1973, the company acquired Winfield & Company, a San Mateo, California-based investment firm, and moved Franklin's offices from New York to California. The combined organization had close to US$250 million in assets under management and approximately 60 employees. In 1979, Franklin Money Fund began a growth surge that made it Franklin's first billion-dollar fund and launched the company's significant asset growth in the 1980s.
Starting in 1980, the company's total assets under management doubled (or nearly doubled) every year for the next six years. The company's stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange in 1986. In the same year, the company opened its first office outside North America in Taiwan. In 1988, Franklin acquired L.F. Rothschild Fund Management Company. Assets under management for Franklin grew from just over US$2 billion in 1982 to more than US$40 billion in 1989 (the crash of 1987 had little impact on Franklin's income and bond funds).
In October 1992, Franklin acquired Templeton, Galbraith & Hansberger Ltd. for a reported cost of $913 million, leading to the common name Franklin Templeton. Mutual fund pioneer Sir John Templeton was the owner of Templeton, Galbraith & Hansberger Ltd together with his son Dr. John Templeton and John Galbraith who together owned 70% of the firm.[8]
In November 1996, Heine Securities Corporation, known for the Mutual Series of funds, merged into the Franklin Templeton complex. In October 2000, Franklin acquired Bissett Funds to increase its Canadian presence, and Bissett remains a key brand from Franklin in the Canadian market. The Fiduciary Trust Company was acquired by Franklin Templeton in April 2001.
Fiduciary Trust Company, a member of the Franklin family, maintained an office of over 650 employees in Two World Trade Center at the time of the September 11 attacks in 2001.[9] 87 employees died in the collapse.[10][11] Ann Tatlock, the CEO of Fiduciary Trust Co. International was at Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha for a charity event hosted by Warren Buffett.[12][13]
The firm specializes in conservatively managed mutual funds. It offers products under the Franklin, Templeton, Mutual Series and Fiduciary brand names. Like other large investment companies, the firm offers a wide variety of funds but is traditionally best known for bond funds under the Franklin brand, international funds under the Templeton brand, and value funds under the Mutual Series brand.
In April 2007, Franklin Resources was 445th in the Fortune 500, and 7th overall among securities companies.[14] The same month, USA Today listed BEN stock as the top stock pick for the last 25 years based on returns, claiming it is up 64,224% since 1982.[15] As of July 31, 2008, Franklin Resources, Inc. managed over $570 billion in total assets worldwide.[16] In February 2009, Barron's Magazine called Franklin Templeton "King of the Decade" among fund families over the ten-year period ending in 2008.[17]
The company sponsored a tennis tournament, the Franklin Templeton Classic.
In 2013, Charlie Johnson retired as chairman and his son Greg Johnson became chairman of the board, CEO and president.[18]
In 2019, Thomas Gahan was named head of alternatives following the firm's 2018 acquisition of Benefit Street Partners, an alternative credit investment group.[19][20]
Mutual funds[edit]
Franklin Templeton has over 200 different open-ended mutual funds and 7 closed-end funds in the fund family. Included in these are 36 state and federal tax free income funds, an area of investment pioneered by Franklin.
Prominent funds in the fund family include the Templeton Growth Fund, Inc. (opened 1954, $29.5bn assets[when?]), the Mutual Shares fund (opened 1949, $7.9bn assets), and the Mutual Discovery Fund (opened 1992, $7.6bn assets) and the Templeton Growth (Euro) Fund A (acc) ($6.1bn assets).
The Franklin Income Fund (FKINX, assets $77.94bn[21] is a mutual fund in Morningstar's "conservative allocation" category and "large/value" style box. The fund was created in 1948 and has paid uninterrupted dividends for 60 years. The Franklin Income Fund is constructed primarily of dividend-paying stocks and bonds (2%).
Regulatory issues[edit]
In 2004, Franklin Templeton paid fines to the State of California, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to settle issues regarding questionable practices including market timing. The plan for distribution of settlement monies of $50 million[22] was completed in September 2006, and all distributions have been completed as of December 2008.[23]
A settlement was also completed with the Ontario Securities Commission concerning Bissett Funds in September 2005.[23]

Is a negotiated peace between the Greens and the Christians possible?
By Tim Wallace - posted Friday, 20 August 2010 Sign Up for free e-mail updates!
There are battles no one wins, and the latest exchange of fire between Australia's most senior Catholic cleric and the federal leader of the Australian Greens is but one more skirmish in a war without any foreseeable end. Is a negotiated peace possible? Perhaps not, but there are good reasons both men, and the wider movements they represent, should seek common ground. Continuing the dispute on the terms it is now being conducted can only do both, and their respective causes, harm.
Cardinal George Pell's description of the Greens' policies as "thoroughly anti-Christian" has predictably angered party supporters who identify as Christians, and perhaps even more those who don't. In defence they have pointed to their policies on the environment, treatment of asylum seekers and overseas aid, and to the election of past Greens senators including Christabel Chamarette (an Anglican) and Jo Valentine (a Quaker).
Had Pell acknowledged the above and instead stated that aspects of the Greens platform are fundamentally at odds with Christian values he would have been on decidedly firmer ground. In short, he erred.
But the response of Senator Bob Brown, that the Greens are "much closer to mainstream Christian thinking than Cardinal Pell", was oddly disingenuous for a man known for his intelligence and integrity. His accusation that Pell opposes compassionate treatment of refugees and the federal government's school building program were equally erroneous.
Is it possible to put aside the misconceptions and misrepresentations of both sides and attempt to uncover the substantive points of dispute? Let's try.
It does not help that Pell is a climate change sceptic. Pell's objections to the Greens in his Sunday Telegraph column appropriately avoided this personal view, but it bubbled up in his response to Brown's barbs in his statement that "the economic consequences of the Greens' policies will increase the cost of living, making food and energy more expensive, which will make the situation of the poor and the battlers even harder". This and previous public entreaties on the issue - which in my view have not been well thought out - have helped to confirm a stereotype among Greens supporters that Pell and his fellow socially conservative Christians are anti-scientific,
But I venture he could be more easily converted from that view were it not for the stumbling block that he perceives the same people pushing the environmentalist agenda to be also pushing an anti-Christian agenda. One has only to listen to talkback radio or online forums to know that many social conservatives are deeply suspicious about the science underpinning the theory of human-caused climate change because they are deeply suspicious of the wider agenda of those most convinced of it - particularly those who advocate quite totalitarian policies to limit human procreation in the name of environmental protection. Defuse that mind-bomb and the sceptic ranks would thin considerably.
Are the Greens in denial about those policies which in no way can be regarded as close to mainstream Christian thinking? The party's non-responses to questions from the Australian Christian Lobby regarding freedom of religion, embryonic cloning, euthanasia, funding for non-government schools and the definition of marriage, indicates coyness verging on contempt.
References to Stalinism may seem quaint three decades after the fall of the Berlin Wall, but it cannot be denied that within Green politics there is a strain of leftist intolerance towards touchstone moral issues intrinsic to Christian, and particularly Catholic, consciences.
This became evident to me during the World Youth Day celebrations in 2008. As 100,000 or so Catholics walked through the inner-Sydney suburb in which I live on their way to Royal Randwick Racecourse, I mingled with the few hundred protesters throwing condoms and insults. Some brandished upside-down crucifixes. Along with the Marxists, gay rights activists and Raelians, I was disconcerted to see the banners of the Australian Greens.
I asked one of the banner bearers why, given the Pope had just made his most unambiguous statement on the moral dimensions of climate change, being part of such a protest was efficacious. Why not look to find common ground on an issue in which all those Catholics could be allies? The fervent greenie disagreed: the pope opposed contraception and abortion, measures needed to limit population. There was no room for compromise.
Another anecdote: A few years ago I edited a book on 100 simple things a person could do to reduce their environmental footprint. The authors asked me to find some quotes to start each of the book's chapters. I came up with a selection - from the likes of Al Gore and David Suzuki, but also one from Mother Teresa: "I only feel angry when I see waste, when I see people throwing away things we could use." The authors loved all of them - bar the one from Mother Teresa, because she was anti-abortion.
Can common ground be found? It is a question confronted by Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, in 2007 when, even while supporting her party's policy on legal abortion, she dared to admit she thought it a moral dilemma. "I believe that respectful dialogue is possible even around such an emotionally charged issue as this," May wrote. "Not every opponent of legal abortions is unthinking. Neither is every supporter of legal abortion unwilling to acknowledge the moral complexity of the issue. Some common ground could be found, I believe, when the discussion shifts to a broader context ... It should not be a thought-crime to state publicly that the issue of abortion is one fraught with moral dilemmas."
Not all agreed. The prominent Canadian feminist Judy Reibeck informed May in an open letter that: "Since you have so little respect for me or for the women's movement which mobilized for so long to win this hard-earned right, I hope you will understand that I ripped up the cheque I had written to the Green Party and you can no longer rely on me for support ... There is no middle ground on the abortion issue as you are no doubt finding out."
With attitudes like that (which are, I hasten to add, by no means the preserve of any particular movement), finding a path to even a respectful, civil dialogue, let alone common ground, is difficult. But it is one that members of the Australian Greens need to think seriously about. That the de facto philosopher of the Australian Greens is the utilitarian ethicist Peter Singer should give them some pause for reflection. Not that I think most of them have read much of Singer; his views on abortion are as discomforting to most pro-choicers as they are to pro-lifers (I haven't, for example, noticed any high-profile Greens campaigning for infanticide); even the most avowed animal lover, while appreciating Singer's arguments for vegetarianism, would probably hesitate to publicly endorse zoophilia); nor can the disabled find much solace in his relative estimation of a human being's right to life.
Which leads me to two questions.
How important is the environment to Brown? Is action to address climate change more or less urgent than the agenda to radically reshape the moral precepts underpinning our civilisation? If the fate of the planet is at stake, shouldn't he be seeking to make social conservatives feel welcome within the Greens ranks?
A corollary: Why has Pell allowed the climate change to so box him in? Does he not recognise that not being part of the solution to environmental problems means being part of the problem, and in so doing he helps undermines secular respect for his core beliefs as well as alienate the spiritually minded who yearn for a "seamless culture of life"?
Our duties towards the environment are linked to our duties towards the human person, considered in himself and in relation to others. It would be wrong to uphold one set of duties while trampling on the other. Herein lies a grave contradiction in our mentality and practice today: one which demeans the person, disrupts the environment and damages society.
Pope Benedict XVI wrote that in his social encyclical Caritas in Veritate, published last year. There's a lesson in there that both the good archbishop and the good senator, and those they lead, could do well to take to heart.

There's momentum behind this concept, though it needs more research to elucidate exactly what's at work.
By Dr. Sadeghi
Forty years ago, at the height of the feminist movement, women were being encouraged by political activists to take off their bras and burn them in a symbolic declaration of independence and power. Today, women are still being encouraged to discard their bras, but by healthcare professionals, for reasons that have less to do with power than with breast cancer prevention.
The idea that bras were connected with an increase in breast cancer was first raised by Sydney Ross Singer and Soma Grismaijer in their 1995 book, Dressed to Kill: The Link Between Breast Cancer and Bras (1). In the book, the authors were following up on a 1991 study conducted at Harvard University and published in the European Journal of Cancer and Clinical Oncology. In examining breast size and breast cancer risk, the study discovered that pre-menopausal women who did not wear bras had half the risk of breast cancer when compared to bra users (2). In conducting their own research with 5,000 women between 1991 and 1993, Singer and Grismaijer discovered that breast cancer risk dramatically increased in women who wore their bras over 12 hours per day. Their other findings included:
Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer.
Women who wore their bras for more than 12 hours but not to bed had a 1 in 7 risk for breast cancer
Wearing a bra less than 12 hours per day dropped breast cancer risk to 1 in 152.
Women who never or rarely wore bras had a 1 in 168 risk for breast cancer.
Overall, women who wore their bras 24 hours per day increased their breast cancer risk by 125 times over women who rarely or never wore a bra.
Restriction and Reasons
Naturally, numbers like these got lots of people talking. While the lingerie industry was quick to dismiss the findings, science set to work trying to discover the exact mechanics by which bras seemed to be greatly increasing breast cancer risk in women. The original suspicions still hold true today.
Among those who acknowledge the bra/breast cancer risk connection, it's widely held that a tight-fitting bra restricts the lymph nodes around the breast and underarm area, preventing toxins from being processed through them and flushed out of the body. Accumulated toxins anywhere in the body increase the risk for cancer. Dr. Michael Schacter, MD, of the Schacter Center for Complimentary Medicine, explains it this way:
"Over 85 percent of the lymph fluid flowing from the breast drains to the armpit lymph nodes. Most of the rest drains to the nodes along the breast bone. Bras and other external tight clothing can impede flow."
"The nature of the bra, the tightness, and the length of time worn, will all influence the degree of blockage of lymphatic drainage. Thus, wearing a bra might contribute to the development of breast cancer as a result of cutting off lymphatic drainage, so that toxic chemicals are trapped in the breast." (3)
Free-flowing drainage throughout the entire lymphatic system is crucial for the body to quickly detoxify itself of waste products and any harmful or carcinogenic substances like PCBs, DDT, dioxin, and benzene from the industrial world we live in. The rate and degree to which the lymphatic system can drain these toxins away depends largely on the amount of body movement needed to stimulate it. The lymphatic system doesn't simply work on its own. It gets fired up when the body gets moving through exercise, dancing, or even a brisk walk. When breasts are constricted in a form-fitting bra, they are not free to move in synchronization with the rest of the body and stimulate the lymph nodes around them to start moving toxins out. This kind of restriction problem is clearly evident in many women who display red creases or grooves along their bra lines. Dents around the sides of the chest near the bra edge are also sometimes visible through the clothes, depending on what a woman is wearing.
Another concern that comes along with breast restriction is an increase in temperature. Breasts are external organs meant to hang out and somewhat away from the torso, maintaining a naturally lower temperature than the rest of the body. Certain cancers are temperature-sensitive. Temperature changes in the breast can alter hormone function and raise the risk of breast cancer, which is hormone dependent. It's been known for quite some time that men who regularly wear tight-fitting pants can disturb testosterone production and even their fertility by altering the temperature of the testicles.
A Second Look
Singer and Grismaijer certainly had their detractors, who were quick to point out that their study did not take into account issues such as a woman's family cancer history, weight, diet, exercise habits, and other risk factors. This is because Dressed to Kill was an epidemiological study, which normally looks at a large number of case studies and draws mathematical conclusions from them based on comparisons of large amounts of data. Unlike a traditional double-blind study that isolates one factor to test its effect on something else, epidemiological research takes a more bird's eye view of a situation by seeking out obvious trends under certain circumstances. This is why although epidemiological research can certainly show that one thing (A) is correlated with another (B), it cannot absolutely prove that A causes B because too many other potentially causative factors are in play. Correlation and causation are not the same thing. From far away, it would seem that smoke is responsible for the destruction of a building that burns to the ground. On closer inspection, however, it's clear that the smoke was only correlated with the destruction and the real cause of the damage was fire. Even with its limitations, a strong correlation can be an invaluable clue when determining actual causation between two factors. In fact, further research under a controlled setting often goes on to prove that one factor, which is correlated with a certain outcome, is indeed the causative force or at least one among several others.
While the Dressed to Kill study didn't present an open-and-shut case on bras and breast cancer risk, the correlation it drew between the two was so strong that it couldn't be ignored, especially when it was 4 to 12 times as great as the connection between smoking and lung cancer. In recent years, additional research has given even more credence to the original study, and those who laughed at the data are now giving it a serious second look. A Chinese study from 2009 found that not sleeping in a bra dropped a woman's risk of breast cancer by 60% (4). In 2011, a study by the Department of Public Health in Venezuela found that bras played a primary role in fibrocystic breast disease and cancer, and that any bras that left indentations or red marks on the body were a risk, especially underwire and push-up bras (5). A study of 2,500 women in Scotland in 2014 also showed that bra fit and length of wear were also connected to increases in breast cancer rates (6).
Refuting the Evidence
In light of this more recent research, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) released data from its own study in September 2014, which was conducted by The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle. Originally published in Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention, the results contradicted virtually other every study done on the bra/breast cancer connection in the 23 years that preceded it. In examining 1,500 women with and without a history of breast cancer, the researchers found that there was zero connection between breast cancer and bra wear, regardless of a woman's age, how long and at what time of day a bra is worn, at what age bra usage begins, bra style, or even breast/cup size (7). When interviewed by USA Today as part of a "myth-busting" story, one of the researchers, Lu Chen, said of the breast cancer/bra connection, "…there's just nothing there." (8)
That was it. The researchers simply said that bra usage doesn't influence breast cancer whatsoever, and completely ignored virtually every other study on the subject as if they'd never existed. The only previous research the Hutchinson study did acknowledge was the Harvard study from 1991 that found breast cancer rates were 100% higher in younger women who wore bras when compared with those who did not. The Hutchinson researchers referred to the Harvard study as "flawed," without providing a detailed explanation as to why or how they came to that conclusion.
At the same time, other researchers and breast health advocates were finding their own flaws and conflicts of interest in the Hutchinson study. Of primary concern was the fact that the Hutchinson study only looked at women 55 and older, all of whom wore bras. There was no control group of women who did not wear bras with which the data was compared. Without a proper comparison with a control group, it's nearly impossible to make any assumptions about the collected data. Is it possible the researchers were concerned that the lower breast cancer rates of women who went bra-free would disprove the desired outcome of their own study? It's a valid question. How else do you explain a so-called scientific study with no baseline with which to compare its data? Ironically, the study actually does validate all the previous bra/cancer connection studies because every woman in the Hutchinson study cancer group was a lifetime bra wearer.
Barely one week after the release of the NCI Hutchinson study results, Sydney Ross Singer, one of the authors of Dressed to Kill, was quick to point out the above research flaws, as well as a related conflict of interest that wasn't widely known. According to Singer, The Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center receives money annually from a fundraising event called the Bra Dash, a 5k run during which women wear pink bras on the outside of their clothes to raise money for research (9). Perhaps the researchers felt it was inappropriate to implicate bras in breast cancer when they're used to raise money for the institution.
In spite of the NCI Hutchinson stand on bras and breast cancer, Singer's work and all the earlier studies continue to be validated. As early as February 2015, research published in the African Journal of Cancer found that, among other risk factors, "intensity of brassiere use…had association with breast cancer occurrence." (10)
An Underlying Problem
In recent years, yet another cancer-related concern has been raised about bras, particularly those with an underwire and their ability to magnify and sustain electromagnetic frequencies (EMF) and radiation from things like cell phones and Wi-Fi. While the fact that your bra could absorb and intensify radiation seems preposterous, it's not as far-fetched as it sounds.
Science has known for some time that metal objects can be used to sustain and magnify EMF radiation. Dr. George Goodheart, also known as the Father of Applied Kinesiology, discovered that taping a small metal ball over an acupuncture point generated a much longer electrical stimulation to that area of the body. He called this the Antenna Effect. That discovery led to the development of AcuAids, small magnetic patches that doctors and chiropractors all over the world use every day.
Just like the metal ball, any metal on the human body has the ability to capture, sustain, and magnify EMF radiation depending on the environment you're in and the electronic devices you're using. The concern with an underwire in a bra is that it comes into contact with two neuro-lymphatic reflex points on the body. The point below the right breast is connected to the liver and gall bladder, while the one below the left breast is linked to the stomach. Over-stimulation of these points not only risks cancerous mutation of breast tissue, but additional problems in the liver, gall bladder, and stomach may result, as well. Doctor and chiropractor John D. Andre explains it this way:
"These reflexes, like all acupuncture points, follow the Law of Stimulation. In the beginning of stimulating a point, it is stimulated—often causing an increase in associated function. Later on, this continued stimulation causes sedation of that point and a subsequent decrease in its associated function. It's a mechanical thing…If a woman keeps the metal underwire on top of those reflex points, over time that will mess up the functioning of the associated circuits: Liver, gallbladder, and stomach." (11)
Change & Choice
I'm a firm believer that if we are to make choices that serve us, the choices we make should never be fear-based. With that in mind, there is no need to panic about any of what's been shared here. While there is a legitimate reason for concern when it comes to bras and breast cancer, some simple changes, along with an existing healthy lifestyle, can result in a drastic reduction in breast cancer risk. Some of these include:
Reduce the time you wear your bra by several hours each day. Try going bra-free once you come home from work instead of wearing it up until bedtime.
Never wear your bra to bed.
If you are small-breasted, an A or B cup, consider wearing camisoles or tops with built-in breast support as part of their design instead of a traditional bra more often.
If your bra leaves marks on the body of any kind, it's too tight. Make adjustments.
Purchase bras without an underwire. Snipping the outer edges below each cup will allow you to remove the wires from your existing bras. Be sure to close the incisions up with a few stitches of thread. Bras with plastic under supports are available, too.
Never carry your cell phone in a breast pocket, pants pocket, or in your bra. Always use an earpiece or speaker phone, keeping the phone away from your body.
Consider a traditional internet connection for your home instead of Wi-Fi. The whole family will be healthier for it.
The Gravity of the Situation
If there really is one myth surrounding bra usage that needs to be busted, it's that bras keep the breasts toned and prevent the sagging that's wrongfully blamed on gravity. If you're concerned that going without a bra more often will cause your breasts to sag, let me reassure you that's not going to happen. Better yet, check out these great quotes from experts, compliments of Breastnotes.com (12):
"A mistaken popular belief maintains that wearing a bra strengthens your breasts and prevents their eventual sagging, but you sag because of the proportion of fat and tissue in your breasts, and no bra changes that." –Susan M. Love M.D., Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book
"Bras will keep your breasts from sagging while you're wearing them, but not for the remainder of the time. There is no medical literature that shows bras prevent sagging. We have no evidence that wearing a bra could prevent sagging because the breast itself is not muscle, so keeping it toned up is an impossibility." —John Dixey, Bras, The Bare Facts documentary
"…going braless can actually cause the breasts to sag less. Bras cause breasts to sag because chest muscles work less when breasts are supported and confined in a bra. Over time, these muscles and ligaments can atrophy because of a lack of use…When the chest muscles and ligaments have to bear the weight of the breasts, muscle tone returns." –Dr. Claire Heigh
"Whether you have always worn a bra or always gone braless, age and breastfeeding will naturally cause your breasts to sag." –Niels H. Laurensen, M.D., PhD, and Eileen Stukane, The Complete Book of Breast Care
"Contrary to popular belief, going braless doesn't mean that your breasts are destined to droop…Bras do not preserve the shape or perkiness of breasts." –Columbia University, Columbia Health, Go Ask Alice! column
So why not try going braless a little more often? The power and independence you feel this time around won't be from rejecting political oppression but from taking charge of your health and resisting the social norms that seek to compromise it.

First off, tell me how it's August. August. This past week I've noticed how there is less daylight when I wake up. Yes, even at 5:00 am, one notices these things through blurry eyes and foggy brain. It's happening, this loss of light. But let's not think about that yet, shall we? There are plenty of sun-soaked memories yet to be made. Go out and get yours.
I'm officially calling this my on the road summer. I haven't been around home much, and I kinda like it. My beau and I recently explored the southwest part of this province, and holy smokes, we were blown away by all of the gorgeousness the prairie has to offer. I sounded like a broken record with "it's so pretty" being repeated over and over again. We whisked ourselves away to a little cowboy cabin in the woods, and yes it was just as romantic as it sounds. Coffee was sipped on the front porch, while we watched horses graze on the opposite hill. Wind rustled through the trees at night, and the stars were so bright, so luminous, it made me a little verklempt. Peace and quiet - that's what we had, and it was glorious. During the day we rolled along back roads, with the windows down. Sadly, one gopher was killed on our excursion, but alas, these things happen. Road trips are a great way to get to know someone. Stories are told, songs sung. There is silence and laughter and hands held. Faces brown with sun, our smiles luminous like the stars.
Road trips need food, obviously, and these little energy bars fueled us well. Goodness knows they are so easy you can whip them up the night before, in between the laundry and packing and last minute shuffling. Peanuts, Medjool dates, dark chocolate and a pinch of sea salt are the magic ingredients. See that? No refined sugar, so these guys are practically health food. Plus they require no cooking, and are gluten free. Ding ding ding! The food processor does all of the work, breaking the dates down to a sweet binder that holds the bars together. Don't be afraid of dates, you can't even tell they are in here, especially with the one-two punch of peanut and chocolate at the forefront. Feel free to swap in another nut if you're not a fan of peanuts, and be sure to use a good quality dark chocolate to cut some of the sweetness from the dates. Substantial and chewy, a little bit of this bar goes a long way. Perfect for those days when only the highway is stretched out before you.
Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper, let the ends hang over the edge. Combine peanuts, dates, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 6 times to break up ingredients, then process continuously for about 2 minutes, or until ingredients clump together. Remove lid and add 1/2 cup chocolate. Process about 20 seconds to combine. Transfer mixture to baking dish and press in evenly. Melt 1/2 cup chocolate and pour over the bars. Cover and refrigerate bars for at least an hour or overnight, until the bars are firm and chocolate is set. Cut into 15 bars. Store in dish or wrap individually. Bars will be firmer when chilled, and softer at room temp. Will keep up to a month when refrigerated and up to a week if unrefrigerated. Recipe from The Kitchn.
These are some of my favourite snaps from the road trip. My guy is the greatest. "Just tell me when to pull over", he says. For more, check out my Instagram feed.
If you squint, you can see a wee cabin in the woods. We stayed at Reesor Ranch, and I can't recomend it enough if you want to vacation in and around Cypress Hills.
Just a little view with my morning coffee.
Stunning scenery at the ranch.
On the way to Maple Creek.
Tall people make tall shadows.
I've been afraid of horses since I fell off of one at a kid's birthday party when I was 8, but I fed this handsome fella some grass and I still have all of my fingers. Yay me!
At Reesor Lake, we talked catch and release with this young man.
Of course there was a picnic.
I'd go back in a heartbeat, to this little cabin.
Renee, I love hearing about (and seeing photos from) your Road Trip summer.... so romantic, beautiful and serene. You are living right, my friend! An inspiration.
And those delicious energy bars... yes please!
Your summer looks and sounds wonderful! We've been very lucky with good weather in Ireland. Today I'm off for a day road trip to the beautiful Glendalough. Your energy bars would be just the thing we need!
Jess - Wish I could tag along on your road trip. Fun!!!

Dream of Ding Village
(Ding Zhuang Meng)
Yan Lianke
Now a feature film starring Zhang Ziyi, Directed by Changwei Gu.
Shortlisted for The Independent Foreign Fiction Prize 2012
Shortlisted for The Man Asian Literary Prize 2011
Banned in China.
'This was a novel that gained warm and vigorous support throughout the judging process. It tells a dramatic, lyrical, courageous and in the end heart-breaking story of modern China and the people who have to cope with its bewildering transformations. So we wished to give a special commendation to Dream of Ding Village by Yan Lianke, translated by Cindy Carter. We recommend it fervently.' Boyd Tonkin, Head of the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize Jury
'The defining work of his career; not just an elegantly crafted piece of literature but a devastating critique of China's runaway development.' Jonathan Watts, Guardian
Officially censored upon its original Chinese publication, Dream of Ding Village is Chinese novelist Yan Lianke's most important novel to date. Set in a poor village in Henan Province, it is a deeply moving and beautifully written account of a blood-selling scandal in contemporary China.
As the book opens, Ding Village's town directors, looking for a way to lift their village from poverty, decide to open a dozen blood-plasma collection stations. The directors hope to drain the townspeople of their blood and sell it to the villages near and far. Although the citizens prosper in the short run, the rampant blood selling leads to an outbreak of AIDS and a huge loss of life. Based on a real-life blood-selling scandal in eastern China, Dream of Ding Village is the result of three years of undercover work by Yan Lianke, who was an assistant to a well-known Beijing anthropologist studying a small village decimated by HIV/AIDS as a result of unregulated blood selling.
Dream of Ding Village focuses on one village, and the story of one family, destroyed when one son rises to the top of the Party pile as he exploits the situation, while another is infected and dies. The result is a passionate and steely critique of the rate at which China is developing- and what happens to those who get in the way.
'A brave, dark and poetic account of modern Chinese malaise… Yan Lianke proves himself not only as a writer of political vision, but also one with a unique narrative voice… Yan Lianke's true story based prose combines an oral storytelling tradition with daring experiment – something rare in contemporary Chinese literature. I urge anyone interested in modern China to read this book.' Xiaolu Guo, author of A Concise Chinese-English Dictionary For Lovers
'Lianke's brazen, unflinching portrayal of a community in the throes of collapse makes for a brilliant and harrowing novel.' Publisher's Weekly
'His lyricism of despair, full of frenzied life, even when there is foam on lips, gives this novel of Yan Lianke it's atrocious grace.' Le Monde
'Yan Lianke denounces an alarming situation… his novel is a true revelation.' Rolling Stone
'A sorrowful but captivating novel about the price of progress in modern China. The book, which was censored in that country, builds to an act of violence that resonates with the impact of Greek tragedy or Shakespearean drama.' Kirkus Reviews
'a revealing mirror of Chinese society… A tender story that cuts to the bone.' Transfuge
'Appearing in English at last, the banned Chinese novel Dream of Ding Village, by Yan Lianke is a furious satire of capitalism and corruption' Guardian
'The novel is gripping, swift, heartfelt, occasionally exhilarating and often surprising, due in large part to the book's two big aces: the charming, naïve narrative voice of the dead boy and the dynamic, larger-than-life figure of grandpa, the central character and the only morally grounded citizen of Ding Village.' Shelf Awareness
'Yan is clearly making a statement about the personal and spiritual prices paid for China's runaway development.' Lionel Shriver
'It reads like a fable, unmoored from time… Yan's prose amply captures his outrage. Above all, it offers a window into a world American readers rarely see — in which, for example, AIDS sufferers defy death by boasting of how many steamed buns they can eat. In the end Dream of Ding Village works both as a horrifying social critique and, strange to say, as a perversely gripping Gothic tale. This novel delivers not only a front-lines message from Henan Province but also news of Yan Lianke's skill as a messenger.' Boston Globe
'Dream of Ding Village paints a riveting and disturbing portrait of village life in the grip of epidemic… Dream of Ding Village is powerful and peerless.' Sydney Morning Herald
'A powerful look at the AIDS scandal in Henan Province during the 1990s… Communist ideals battle against capitalistic impulses and human nature in this grand, layered novel, a must-read for anyone interested in present-day China.' Booklist Online
'Officially censored upon its Chinese publication, and the subject of a bitter lawsuit between author and publisher, Dream of Ding Village is Chinese novelist Yan Lianke's most important novel to date… Based on a real-life blood-selling scandal in eastern China, Dream of Ding Village is the result of three years of undercover work by Yan Lianke, who worked as an assistant to a well-known Beijing anthropologist in an effort to study a small village decimated by HIV/AIDS as a result of unregulated blood selling… The result is a passionate and steely critique of the rate at which China is developing–and what happens to those who get in the way.' Goodreads.com
'What a dilemma Yan Lianke must pose to his government. He's one of China's most celebrated writers, and among its most censored… Lianke, a native of Henan Province, plays with farce and satire and allegory as he spins his dark tale. His description of what has been lost is as mesmerizing as his critique of those to blame is merciless.' Barnes & Noble
'A powerful and shocking piece of work' The Big Issue
'One of the most prolific and bravest authors to come from China, brings us a disturbing chronicle of one village's deterioration caused by 'the spreading fever' Guardian

Jacoby Comments on Fall of Top Auto Industry Executive
January 3, 2019 /0 Comments/in Luskin in the News Sanford Jacoby /by Stan Paul
Sanford Jacoby, distinguished professor emeritus of public policy at UCLA Luskin, commented in a front-page New York Times story on Carlos Ghosn, Nissan's former chairman who was recently arrested in Japan on allegations of financial wrongdoing. The allegations include withholding millions of dollars in income in financial filings for several years, according to the Times report. "Even when a company is a global multinational company, it's still stamped by its country of origin and the place where it has its headquarters," said Jacoby, who has studied and written about employment relations in Japan. Jacoby, who also holds appointments in management and history at UCLA, said in Japan more weight is placed "on egalitarian policies of government and pay and other things."
Jacoby Comments on Employee Profit-Sharing in Sears' Heyday
October 25, 2018 /0 Comments/in Luskin in the News Sanford Jacoby /by Mary Braswell
Sanford Jacoby, distinguished professor emeritus of public policy at UCLA Luskin, commented in a front-page New York Times article about the remarkably egalitarian employee profit-sharing program offered by Sears in its heyday. Before it was phased out in the 1970s, the stock-ownership plan allowed Sears workers at all ranks to build a comfortable nest egg. "People were retiring with nice chunks of change," Jacoby said. "People loved this fund, and Sears was a wildly successful company." But the approach favored men over women and also made workers even more exposed to their employer's fate, said Jacoby, who also holds professorial appointments in history and management at UCLA. The article contrasted the program at Sears, which has declared bankruptcy, with policies at Amazon, which recently lifted its minimum hourly wage to $15 but also stopped giving stock to hundreds of thousands of employees. The decision underscores how lower-paid employees across corporate America have been locked out of profit-sharing and stock grants, the article said.

2020 May bank holiday will be moved to mark 75th anniversary of VE Day
Source: Department for Business Enterprise and Regulatory Reform | | 20/06/2019
The government has announced that the date of next year's early May bank holiday is to move from Monday, 4 May to Friday, 8 May to mark the 75th anniversary of VE Day. This is only the second time ever that the early May bank holiday has been moved – the first was in 1995 to mark the 50th anniversary of VE Day. There will be commemorative events taking place across the country over the three-day weekend to honour the sacrifice made by men and women during the Second World War. VE Day was first celebrated on 8 May 1945 when Allied Forces formally accepted Germany's surrender.
The early May bank holiday will move in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, where it is achieved by a Royal Proclamation made under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971. Bank holidays are a devolved issue in Scotland. However, Scottish Ministers have also confirmed the change of date on the Scottish government's website.
