Growing Tillandsia Xerographica By Seed
The ever-so-popular Tillandsia xerographica [pronounced: zero-grafika] is a favorite among air plant collectors, hobbyists and novices alike. With its unique round shape boasting thick, silvery curling leaves and bright orange blooming spikes, it is no wonder this species of air plant has been in high demand and frequently exported from Central America since the 1980s. However, due to former unregulated trade, the Xerographica plants were originally harvested from their natural habitats in the arid lowlands of Guatemala and Southern Mexico consequentially causing them to almost become extinct. It wasn't until 1994 that the Tillandsia Xerographica species was declared endangered by the Convention of International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) after agricultural officials in the Netherlands were alerted of a suspicious shipment from Guatemala.
Lucky for air plant lovers, CITES has allowed farmers to propagate the Xerographica plants due to the necessity to reproduce the endangered species. Following strict guidelines, farms have been able to produce increasing quantities of the plant since the early 2000s. One requirement of propagation farming is to keep a certain number of offsets (commonly and endearingly referred to as pups) to grow into future mother plants. CITES frequently checks the certified growers to ensure the farms are not over-selling the Xerographica plants so that there are enough mothers for the future generations.
In addition to the propagation of offsets (asexual reproduction), Xerographica plants can also be grown from seeds (sexual reproduction). Propagation has traditionally been the preferred method due to its reliability and quick turnover as the pups only take a couple of years until they are ready for sale. Until the past decade, sexual reproduction through seeds has been considered too difficult as plants may take 8 or more years from germination to a full grown "large" plant of about 8 inches in diameter. However, farming Xerographica plants from seeds does have its advantage over propagation as it increases both genetic diversity and the number of plants on the farms whereas growing offsets only will just provide copies of the mother plants which could lead to an overall weaker plant stock.
The process of growing Xerographica from seeds is arduous and requires time, patience and large investment in both greenhouse infrastructure and workers. In addition to waiting for the plants to bloom to cross pollinate, farmers must also scope out the Xerographica that are producing seeds since not all of them will. Once the seeds are gathered, they are prepared on wind screen material to begin the germination process. After four or five years, hardy seedling Xerographica plants will form and show a regular adult shape but at a much smaller size.
Thanks to air plant farms that invest in the meticulous process of hand pollination to grow genetically diverse Xerographica from seeds, air plant enthusiasts can enjoy the species for generations to come! Here at Air Plant City, we are committed to farming Tillandsia ethically and sustainably. We follow the appropriate regulations and support farms and farmers who do the same.

A stock certificate is simply physical proof that the certificate holder owns shares in a company. While nowadays stock holdings are most often tracked using digital technologies, you are still required to issue a paper share certificate if your investor requests it. Additionally, some investors enjoy having a paper record of ownership.
You want to give a stockholder proof of purchase of stock.
You want to give new stockholders evidence of their ownership of stock shares that were issued by a newly-formed corporation.
You want to give a stockholder evidence of ownership of stock shares that were transferred to the stockholder from a former stockholder.
Corporations can give their shareholders Stock Certificates as proof of ownership of corporate stock. While a certificate lists the stock owner and the number of shares they own, it isn't the stock itself—rather, it's evidence that the shareholder owns the stock. When creating your Stock Certificate, you'll want to include information like: the name and location of your corporation, the stock purchaser, the stock certificate number, the number of shares, whether the stock has a minimum price per share (aka "par value"), whether you're issuing common or preferred stock, what (if any) transfer restrictions apply, and the date the stock will be issued. If your organization has a corporate seal, you'll can affix it to the printed Stock Certificate. Also included is the Committee on Uniform Securities Identification Procedures (CUSIP) or CUSIP International Numbering System (CINS) number.
A share certificate acts a bit like a receipt. If you're interested in the initial buying and selling of corporate stock, our Stock Purchase Agreement may be able to help.
What are the benefits of Stock Certificates?
One of the main benefits of issuing share certificates is documentation. While the financial industry has carved out a brand-new frontier in high-speed, algorithm-based trading many individuals prefer to hold onto stock for longer than fractions of a second. For these long-term investors, a stock certificate provides useful documentation of their company shares for their financial records. The original corporation can also benefit from the documentation of stock certificates.
The stocks are registered in the name of the investor. All paperwork and any dividends are sent directly to that individual. A physical hard copy certificate is also provided.
This is the most common form of stock ownership, in this setup the stocks are registered under the name of a brokerage firm and the investor is listed as the beneficiary of the holdings in the firm's books. All company paperwork and dividends are sent to the firm which can then pass them on to the individual investor. A paper certificate is not issued.
This occurs when your name is registered in the stock issuer's records and the company itself or its transfer agent holds the stock on your behalf. This type of registration is not always available. For more detail on stock holding, you can visit the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's FAQ.
Can I personally trade or gift my stock?
Yes, it's usually possible to trade or gift stocks you own to another individual. Doing so, however, requires more than simply passing along the stock certificate. Generally, for paper certificates the bond holder will have to sign over the stock. Occasionally a paper stock will come with its own form to do just that. If not, the original investor will have to sign the stock over alongside a guarantor (typically the investor's brokerage firm). If the stock is held electronically, ownership can be passed by changing the title of the stock.

Dog Buried Alive Is Rescued, Only to Be Euthanized
Richard Piquard has been charged with animal cruelty
By Kate Seamons, Newser Staff

(Newser) – Kaylee Belanger's Facebook post begins with a trigger warning: What follows is the lengthy tale of a dog that was allegedly buried alive, rescued, and euthanized in Massachusetts. The post was made Sunday night, hours after Belanger called the Northbridge Police Department to report that she found the elderly Shih Tzu buried alive in the woods. She ended up there thanks to Richard Piquard, the 24-year-old Whitinsville man who has been charged with animal cruelty in the case. She writes that on Sunday morning Piquard messaged her to say his dog Chico had died the night before, which she found suspicious as he has been trying to unload the animal. She says she convinced him to tell her where Chico had been buried so she could retrieve the body and have the animal cremated.
After some fruitless searching behind Piquard's home, a noise was heard, and she says digging ultimately revealed a breathing Chico buried under 3 feet of dirt and a rock. MassLive reports the dog was brought to the Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine at Tufts University and was ultimately euthanized. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette cites authorities as saying Piquard allegedly buried the dog because it was clashing with his new kitten and his ex-girlfriend, whose family had owned the dog, couldn't immediately take it. Piquard was arraigned Tuesday and is free on $1,000 bail. He says he no longer has the cat but the judge granted the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals access to his home to verify that. Piquard has an Oct. 26 court date.

September marks the end of domestic tourism season in the country. While Hanoi is experiencing perfect autumn weather with warm sunshine and gentle breeze, Ho Chi Minh City is still experiencing hot and rainy days in September.
In September, temperatures range from 24 – 33 ° C. However, high humidity 85% (highest in the year) and heavy rainfall 325mm with 14 rainy days (second highest rainfall of the year) makes the weather in September much more uncomfortable than in other months.
September may not be a good time to visit Ho Chi Minh City due to hot and humid weather. However, if you travel in a family with children, it is a great time for your baby to enjoy the traditional Vietnamese children's festival – Mid-Autumn Festival. Visiting Ho Chi Minh City on this occasion, visitors will have the opportunity to participate in making lantern activities, watch the lion dance, enjoy the taste of moon cake. Besides, you can enjoy the festive atmosphere of Vietnam Independence Day on The 2nd of September.


Benzodiazepines are a class of drugs commonly used to treat anxiety and panic disorders.
Popular brand names include Valium and Xanax. The first benzodiazepine drug, Librium, was marketed in 1955, and by 1977, these drugs were the most prescribed medications across the globe.
Drugs of the benzodiazepine class work by enhancing the effects of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid or GABA and its receptors. This produces hypnotic, anti-anxiety, anticonvulsant, and muscle-relaxing effects. Benzos were developed as a safer alternative to barbiturates – drugs that produce similar effects but have a high potential for overdose and a high chance of resulting in death if overdose occurs. Unfortunately, benzodiazepines do have the potential to both be addictive and cause an overdose.
Taken as directed, benzodiazepines should never cause an overdose; however, people have been abusing these drugs for many years. Medications like Valium and Xanax can create feelings of euphoria at high doses, followed by feelings of relaxation and peace.
They also quickly produce a tolerance in users. Benzodiazepines are only meant to be used for anxiety and other medical issues for a couple months at most due to the fact that people on these medications adjust to them so fast, requiring higher and higher doses to keep them working. The longer this goes on, the higher chance that a person will become addicted to the drug. Patients may also begin abusing these drugs if the maximum allowed dose is no longer working and an alternative treatment plan has not been put into place.
Either of these situations can lead directly to overdose. There have also been cases in which addicted individuals have attempted to quit, going days or weeks without the drug, therefore lowering their tolerance. Upon relapsing, people may go right back to the dose they were taking before they tried to quit. Without that tolerance, they overdose.
Benzodiazepines are central nervous system depressants. The central nervous system is an essential part of the brain that controls the most important bodily functions, including the heart and respiratory system. During an overdose of a medication like this, these functions can slow to dangerous levels. The biggest danger in these situations is severely slowed breathing. When not enough oxygen can reach the brain, this can quickly result in rapid cell death. This is followed by coma and brain damage. Without medical intervention, this is likely to be fatal.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, around 8,000 people in the US died from a benzodiazepine overdose.
This is a huge increase from 2001. Any sign of an overdose from one of these drugs should be considered a medical emergency.
The longer a person abuses a benzodiazepine medication, the more likely it is that the individual will suffer an overdose. Because of this and the fact that these drugs result in tolerance so easily, anyone suspecting an addiction should seek professional addiction treatment as soon as possible. This is especially important to do before attempting to get off a benzodiazepine, as the withdrawal symptoms that occur when reducing or eliminating the drug from one's system have been known to be deadly in some instances.
Are there safer alternatives to benzos for treating anxiety, depression, or insomnia?
Anxiety: Some antidepressants, such as Zoloft, can assist with treating anxiety. Perhaps more helpful, however, are natural and therapeutic remedies that can help the individual learn to manage symptoms of anxiety without drugs. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where the individual can recognize triggers of symptoms and learn to avoid or counteract them to minimize the potential for symptoms to manifest. Also, techniques such as meditation can help the person learn to manage anxious thoughts and behaviors, and cultivate calm responses to triggering events. Relaxing physical exercise like yoga, breathing techniques, and muscle relaxation practices can also help.
Insomnia: Natural remedies in the form of plant extracts – such as kava or valerian root – or melatonin supplementation can help an individual fall asleep more easily or sleep better through the night without having to resort to benzos. A medication called Ramelteon, which affects the body's melatonin receptors to support a healthy sleep cycle, can also help. Along with these, or substituting for them, the same kinds of relaxation exercises and practices listed above for anxiety can help a person learn to relax and fall asleep more easily, and promote the calm that can keep an individual asleep through the night. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy can help here too.
Other types of non-benzo medicines can also help. At the same time, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also a potential aid in depression, helping the individual to analyze depressive thoughts and behaviors and discover strategies to counter them with alternative behaviors, activities, or physical therapies that can help.
How should an overdose be addressed? Is treatment needed?
For these reasons, medical help is immediately necessary when a benzo overdose is suspected – especially if the individual is already unconscious – to make sure that none of these symptoms threatens the person's life or health.
An article from Medscape discusses Flumenazil, a medication that can help. It serves as an antidote to benzodiazepine poisoning and can reverse the symptoms. However, its use can be dangerous, resulting in the manifestation of some of the dangerous withdrawal symptoms that can occur in people who have been engaging in regular, heavy benzodiazepine use. For this reason, Flumenazil is not often used. On the other hand, monitoring, support of the riskiest overdose symptoms, and careful, safe withdrawal from the benzodiazepine can keep the individual safe without triggering dangerous withdrawal symptoms.
Benzodiazepine drugs are not just dangerous in overdose; they are also dangerous in withdrawal. Individuals coming off the drug are at risk for life-threatening or otherwise dangerous withdrawal symptoms, such as seizures, high fever, and psychosis, as described in an article from the journal Addiction. These risks are heightened for those who have been taking benzos at high doses for a long time.
Detox programs can help with benzodiazepine overdose by ensuring that the individual comes down off the drug safely, through tapered doses, and, if necessary, substitution therapy using a longer-acting benzo. This helps the individual coming off the dangerous dose of the drug to experience more moderate physical symptoms, potentially avoiding serious complications as well as the discomfort of some of the milder symptoms. This, in turn, can prepare the individual for smooth, abstinent entry into an addiction treatment program, if needed, setting the individual up for a higher chance of success in avoiding relapse to benzo use.

We've seen them from everyone from Kate Spade to Kanye West. They've sold anything from lingerie to alcohol. While they are a sensation on both coasts, Denver is finally getting in on the action with their own pop-up shops.
Like any other trend, pop-up shops started on the East and West coasts, slowly moving their way inward towards Denver. In Los Angeles and New York City, celebrities and musicians open pop-up shops constantly, whereas, in Denver, they are far and few between.
Last year, Denver hosted pop-up shops from Tamagear, Ball and Buck, Modcloth, and Moonlab Apparel and Gifts. Each took over a vacant storefront for a few months in various Denver neighborhoods.

Denver's retail rent prices have risen drastically over the last 10 years because of the influx of people. The average price for commercial real estate in downtown Denver is $22.53 a square foot. Because of this, retailers are looking for creative ways get their product to the people.
Amazon is embracing this idea with their pop-up shop in Park Meadows Mall. The store is between 300 and 500 square feet, offering a full range of Amazon devices including Fire, Fire TV, Echo, Dash button and Kindle. Consumers can stop by and test out the products themselves, ask an expert and purchase products. About 30 pop-ups are open nationwide, set to expand to 100 this year.
Pop-ups don't just have to be for retailers – musicians are getting in on the act too. The Band Perry is coming to the Gothic Theatre March 18 as part of their eight-show "pop-up" tour to promote their new album, My Bad Imagination. The band wanted to give their fans a first look at their new music in an intimate setting at their favorite small venues while also offering collector's edition merchandise for purchase.
The focus of pop-up shops is to connect with consumers, whether it be food and drink, clothing, technology or music. With brick-and-mortar stores struggling, pop-ups let brands go to the people, building relationships and brand loyalty by way of a face-to-face presence.
In the world of online shopping, consumers still crave face-to-face interaction when they are shopping to physically see and touch a product or to just ask an employee for their recommendation. This is why pop-ups can be successful, especially in a place like Denver.
A pop-up shop is an event or venue that is temporary – "popping-up" one day and disappearing the next. Today's pop-up shops are open for mere hours or months.
Pop-up shops aren't anything new; they have been around since the '90s, becoming popular in the last 10 years. So much that businesses are exploiting the niche and beginning to specialize in creating them.
Popshopolis, a subsidiary of EPS-Doublet, started about 10 years ago with the intention to fabricate pop-up shops from scratch at their headquarters in Denver. They are a full-service company, designing and fabricating the shop; delivering and transportation of the shop; helping with finding the perfect location and staffing the shop. They create dozens of pop-ups each year for clients around the world.
Smaller apparel companies such as lingerie retailer True&Co and outdoor retailer Cotopaxi along with larger alcohol brands such as Ketel One and Maker's Mark are just some of their notable clients. While 90 percent of their business is out-of-state, the company notices that a lot more Denver businesses want to start creating pop-up shops of their own.

Both startups and larger brands use pop-up shops, but in different ways: Startups use the concept to mainly sell their product, while larger companies use them as a form of promotion to market their brand.
"It's a little bit of a different story when you are promoting a product versus selling a product," said Grant Leasia, vice president of EPS-Doublet.
According to Gian Lasher, head of client development, pop-up shops started out as a form of experiential marketing for larger agencies to create a "wow factor." This has led larger brands to use pop-ups as a marketing technique to build brand engagement and recognition.
Popshopolis specializes in creating mobile pop-up shops, made for clients who want to take their brands on the go. Upcycling shipping containers and transforming them into mobile units that can be driven around the country is their most common fabrication technique.
"People are more attracted to that because it stands out among the rest of your clothing or retail companies and brands who are trying to serve up their product in a simple tent," Lasher said.
Denver has seen both food trucks and fashion trucks, but not mobile pop-up shops. The difference being that the trucks serve as the main body of the shop and the transportation, while these mobile pop-ups that Popshopolis does are an entire store build on wheels to transport easily. The unit is larger and holds more merchandise, feeling more like a storefront than a truck.
For startups, pop-ups help brands to introduce themselves by their attitude, not necessarily using merchandise to make a lasting impact. Startups can use pop-ups to be original and creative, helping to level the playing field with larger brands.
"This has turned into the primary business model for some smaller startups, who don't necessarily have the capital or the runway to put a lease on a brick-and-mortar store and go that [the pop-up shop] route," Lasher said.
Pop-ups also allow startups to be nimble and flexible with both location and hours. Smaller inventories encourage brands to operate in smaller spaces. Mobility cuts coordination and cost for these startups who are strapped for cash.

With its sense of spontaneity, pop-up shops offer surprise and delight for customers.
"If you create that buzz of something that is going to show up on a given day, at a given intersection, in a certain city, there is a lot of buzz with that. Then as a shopper, you feel like it's going to be there forever so you want to buy while it's there before it leaves," Leasia said.
Both Lasher and Leasia agree that pop-up shops are evolving from full-store takeovers to mobile units. This evolution stems from two problems – bringing people to your shop, and the rising rents of retail spaces, problems very relative to Denver.
"With the temporary takeover of the store, you are now under additional pressure to try to bring people to that shop within that short period of time to see if you can make that bang for your buck," Lasher said.
Mobile pop-up shops let businesses go directly to the crowd. Leasia and Lasher recommend opening pop-up shops in areas of high foot traffic, during an event or at a brand-appropriate location.
For Denver, this can mean having a pop-up at Larimer Square or 16th Street Mall, areas with high foot traffic. Sporting events at Mile High Stadium, Coors Field or the Pepsi Center can be another place to draw crowds, before or after a game. Brand-appropriate locations can be in a Denver neighborhood for a small boutique or a retail Mecca like Park Meadows. It depends on the brand, what they sell and their intended audience.
In Denver, Popshopolis is constructing pop-up shops for food and beverage companies but is slowly seeing the shift to retail brands. Lasher notes that retail brands want to get established, often investing in brick-and-mortar stores as opposed to going mobile.
"If it's looked at a marketing investment versus a return on investment in sales, those are the brands that are going to have the most success," Leasia said.
While it's just getting off the ground in Denver, Lasher believes that pop-up shops are becoming the new method of retailing going forward for both big and small companies alike.
So are pop-up shops the future of retail in Denver? Well if rent prices keep rising and businesses and consumers continue to see their value, there's a possibility this trend could be here to stay.

Need Advice For Your Business?
The evidence of our supportive and generous community was once again on-show late last year when we put the call out to support our farmers in need.
With the help of our community, the Turramurra and Lindfield Community Bank branches of Bendigo Bank raised $20,750 for Rural Aid in support of our farmers, more than tripling our initial goal of $6,000.
We started with an idea to match our customer's donations, dollar for dollar, up to $3,000. This rapidly grew legs, with eager staff starting "dress like a farmer" days in the branch to catch the attention of our customers.
It wasn't just the customers attention that was attracted – a number of local community groups caught wind of what was happening within the branches and put their support behind our collection.
It was truly a community effort.


Meanwhile, prepare the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Trim the bottom crust of the panettone. Starting at the bottom end of the panettone, cut it crosswise into 6 (3/4-inch thick) round slices (reserve the top piece for toast!). In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add the cream, milk, and sugar and whisk until well mixed. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on a large nonstick griddle over medium heat. Dip 3 slices of panettone into the custard, turning to allow both sides to absorb the custard. Grill the soaked panettone slices until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the French toast to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining butter, panettone slices, and custard.
Transfer the French toast to plates. Dollop the mascarpone atop each. Lightly dust with the powdered sugar. Drizzle the cinnamon syrup over and around the French toast and serve immediately.

Betrayed (Book #3 in the Vampire Journals)
Genre: Horror, Monsters & Ghosts
4.5 Score: 4.5 (From 278 Ratings)
"A book to rival TWILIGHT and VAMPIRE DIARIES, and one that will have you wanting to keep reading until the very last page! If you are into adventure, love and vampires this book is the one for you!"
--Vampirebooksite.com (Turned)
BETRAYED is book #3 in the #1 Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with TURNED (Book #1)!
In BETRAYED (Book #3 in the Vampire Journals), Caitlin Paine awakes from a deep coma to discover she has been turned. Now a true, full-bred vampire, she marvels at her new powers, including her ability to fly, and her superhuman strength. She finds that her true love, Caleb, is still by her side, waiting patiently for her to recover. She has everything she could dream of.
Until it all, suddenly, goes terribly wrong.
Caitlin is horrified to discover Caleb with his ex-wife, Sera, and before Caleb has a chance to explain, Caitlin tells him to leave. Heartbroken, confused, Caitlin wants to curl up and die, her only consolation being in her wolf-pup Rose.
Caitlin also finds consolation in her new surroundings. She finds she has been placed on a hidden island in the Hudson River—Pollepel—amidst an elite coven of teenage vampires, boys and girls alike, 24 in all, including her. She learns that this is a place for outcasts, just like her, and as she meets her new best friend, Polly, and begins her training in elite vampire combat, she realizes that she might finally have a place to call home.
But a major vampire war is looming, and her brother Sam is still out there, kidnapped by Samantha. The evil Kyle, too, now wielding the mythical Sword, is still on the warpath, and he will stop at nothing to wipe out New York. Caitlin, despite her new home, and despite her finding a new love interest in the elusive vampire Blake, knows that she can only stay on this island for so long before her destiny calls. After all, she is still the One, and all eyes still look to her to find her father and the other weapon that might save them all.
Torn between her new friends and her lingering feelings for Caleb, she must come to decide where her true loyalties lie, and whether she is willing to risk it all to try to find Caleb and have him in her life once again….

OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría expresses condolences after Manchester attack
23/05/17 – In a letter to British Prime Minister Theresa May, OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurría wrote today:
"I would like to convey my heartfelt condolences following the devastating attack that took place last night in Manchester, leaving many casualties. Our thoughts and sympathies are especially with the people who lost their lives, as well as their families and all those affected by this horrendous attack.
"The OECD family stands firmly with you during this moment of national grievance, and is ready to assist in any way we can. We will never be defeated by terror and are united with the international community in categorically condemning this sickening act of hatred."
May 23, 2017 OECD OECD.org – United Kingdom OECD • politics • united kingdom
Bridging the generational divide in the UK
People of my generation grew up with a set of intuitive assumptions about human progress: hatred and prejudice would give way to reason, democracy would displace authoritarianism, and the economic good times would roll and roll.
Among those assumptions was the strong sense that we would live to enjoy a better quality of life than our parents. For much of the 20th century, the statistics bore that out. Average incomes rose with each successive generation.
No more. For Generation Y–the so-called "millennials" born between 1980 and 2000–the new century has brought a historic reversal of fortunes and a growing sense of pessimism.
UK polling conducted in 2016 found that 54% of people think today's 18-35 year olds will have a worse life than their parents' generation, which is a dramatic collapse in confidence since 2003, when only 12% of the public held that view.
In large part, the differential impact of the financial crisis is to blame. While all ages have experienced wage stagnation since 2008, younger cohorts have been hit particularly hard. For many, the wage squeeze has come early in their careers when pay progression is normally at its most rapid. As a result, the oldest millennials (born 1981-85) are now earning some £40 (about US$50) per week less around the age of 30 than those born 10 years earlier earned at the same age.
At the same time, younger people are increasingly struggling to accumulate the two major assets that my generation always took for granted: a pension and a home.
Private pension schemes are now less generous on average, and the state pension will replace a smaller share of earnings.
But the real scandal is in housing. Here, the market is fundamentally broken, due to inadequate supply, and first time buyers are paying the price. The proportion of 25-34 year olds in the UK who own their own home was 67% in 1991, but had declined to 36% by 2013-14. The trend was even more striking for those aged 16-24, where home ownership has declined from 36% in 1991 to 9% in 2013-14. No wonder that the under-50s own only 18% of the UK's property wealth.
By contrast, older generations have been very effectively sheltered from the economic headwinds. The over-60s are the only age group to have become better off since 2007/08. From 2010 to 2015, the average British household saw its income fall by about £500 as a result of tax increases and spending cuts, yet the average two-pensioner household took a hit of just £23.
Changes to welfare policy have exacerbated the divide. The Resolution Foundation estimates that by 2020, compared with pre-crisis levels, working-age benefits will be 9% lower per person, child benefits 12% lower and pensioner benefits per pensioner 19% higher. Other perks which are specific to pensioners persist: winter fuel allowance, free bus travel, free TV licences.
Intergenerational inequality is aided and abetted by the fact that younger people are much less likely to vote than older people. 43% of 18-24 year olds voted in the UK General Election in 2015, compared to 78% of over-65s. As populations age across the developed world, the "grey vote" can only become more significant.
I would like to offer some tentative first steps towards restoring balance to this desperately unbalanced state of affairs. Similar problems exist across the developed world, but the solutions offered here are specific to the UK.
First, we need to rebalance the welfare system. Further cuts cannot and should not come exclusively from working-age households. Universal, non means-tested pensioner benefits like universal TV licences and winter fuel payments are impossible to justify, while the "triple lock" (by which pensions are uprated annually by inflation, earnings, or 2.5%, whichever is greater) is prohibitively expensive in the long term. The task of finding a sustainable replacement–perhaps a "double lock" linking increases to prices and earnings, but not a guaranteed 2.5% in all circumstances–should fall to a cross-party commission.
Second, we must correct the chronic undersupply of housing through a massive, publicly-underwritten house-building programme. This will require not only money but innovative political solutions to prevent a stand-off between central government and local authorities opposed to new developments.
Finally, I believe it is time to consider giving young people the opportunity to shape the political future by considering compulsory voting (with an option to abstain on the ballot paper). The evidence from Australia suggests this can counter the "grey vote" bias and force politicians to appeal to the whole electorate.
As the Resolution Foundation has argued, renewing the intergenerational contract is a shared challenge for our times. It requires bold thinking and political courage from a generation of leaders who have enjoyed the good times, and must now act to prevent a worrying divide from becoming an unbridgeable gulf.

Wales should continue reforms to boost quality and equity of school system
28/02/2017 – Wales should continue its efforts to reform the curriculum and raise the standards of teaching in order to improve the quality and equity of its school system, according to a new OECD report.
The Welsh Education Reform Journey analyses the reforms adopted since 2014 and notes a shift in the approach to school improvement away from a piecemeal and short-term policy orientation to one with a long-term vision involving key stakeholders.
The commitment to improving the teaching and learning in Wales's schools is visible at all levels of the education system, says the report.
"Sustaining this commitment, deepening investments in key policy areas and strengthening the implementation process will be central to realising the country's ambitions for education and society over the long term," said Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills, launching the report in Cardiff with Kirsty Williams, Wales' Cabinet Secretary for Education.
The focus of continuing reforms should be on developing a high-quality teaching profession, making leadership a key driver of education reform, ensuring equity in learning opportunities and student well-being, and moving towards a new system of assessment, evaluation and accountability that aligns with the new 21st century curriculum.
Among the report's recommendations are that Wales should:
Continue developing a national approach to professional learning and build capacity for implementation of the new curriculum.
Move forward with the establishment of the National Academy of Educational Leadership and speed up development of leadership standards.
Consider moving towards a national needs-based school-funding formula that ensures the effective allocation of funds to schools.
Continue strengthening Wales' school improvement infrastructure.
Ensure coherence across the various reform initiatives to prevent fragmentation. The government should clarify how different reforms and policies relate to each other as well as the roles and responsibilities of teachers, school leaders, local authorities and regional consortia.
The report is available at http://www.oecd.org/edu/school/thewelsheducationreformjourneyarapidpolicyassessment.htm
For more information, or to speak to the report's author, journalists should contact Spencer Wilson of the OECD's Media Division (tel. + 33 1 45 24 81 18).

Or I could try to contact Mark from RWB and ask... The worst that can happens is he saying "no way", and then we can use something else or simply ignore him. We market the console as the CV2 but ship it as the ColecoVision2.
I have his email here somewhere... Should I give it a try?
Sure, we have nothing to lose in the process. We may even have something to gain, as RWB may be interested in this proposed product, on some level.

Ok, email sent. Lets see what they have to say about the idea...
Ok, so now this come as a complete surprise. Check what I just got from Mark (River West Brands):
[EDIT:] Mark is RWB's chief executive officer. River West Brands is the current owner of the Coleco brand, including the ColecoVision name
I am inclined to approve your request pursuant to an agreement that would allow me to approve the console and content.
My request being to be allowed to officially use the ColecoVision name on our new proposed console...
I am not quoting the whole email here because I am now sure if I am allowed to do so, but it seems like a good start.
Can you guys believe that? I feel a lot more responsability now...

Hi Eduardo
Congratulations...
If the agreement comes into existence, would you let RWB distribute and promote the new Colecovision 2 for you.?
Even if we were planning to make dozens of thousands of CV2s, RWB doesn't do any distribution. They just buy brands and license them.
Coleco and ColecoVision are their brands andf the only way to use them legaly is to get a license. Andre' will help me with that, he has a lot experience with legal stuff, just to make sure we get the proper license. That would be a dream come true...
That's wonderful news! I wonder how much the license will cost. If the price is right, it will be an added incentive to make the CV2 a reality.

Great news on being able to use the brand name. Hopefully, this will not add to much to the final price.
Either way, the CV2 sounds better every day, and will put a smile on plenty of fans ready to enjoy it.
(Can't wait to see the final product! )
We will know for sure next week.

Ok, I read this whole thread and I am intrigued, but I get the impression that it must be picking up where another thread left off.
From what I gather, this will be a newly designed system that will play Colecovision cartridges, but I am still left with a few questions:
I saw something about SD cards or CF cards, will this have a memory card slot and what will it be used for? Please tell me it will play roms right from the card!
About controllers, included or not included? Have you considered making the keypad part of the console? That would simplify controller options at least.
Another thread discussed controllers, and the feeling was that it should include them to broaden the appeal, but how many people who don't have controllers already would have a source for carts?
Why not go all the way and build the Atari expansion port right in, and have TWO cartridge slots? Who wouldn't love that?
It will play ROMs right from the card.
We don't know yet. But you know what, from the core CV user point-of-view, I don't think that would be a big problem. New controllers would be nice, but we can always use the old ones.
That is one of the reasons for the SD card slot. But again, I cannot see am 100% perfect solution for the new controllers. We could create arcade like controllers, using MDF, but that would be expensive. The other option would be to include new NES compatible controllers with the system and have the CPLD deal with that. I don't know, that is something we still need to think about.
That would require Atari chips, would rise costs, etc.
Ok, I just had a conference call with Andre, he checked my schematics, suggested a couple of things to improve the design. We also discussed the strategy to deal with RWB. Perhaps the biggest news is that he suggested me to include VGA compatibility to the design.

Why VGA compatibility? Isn't everything modern using DVI and so on? Why put in a computer output format that's on life support?
Something I was wondering: with the new CV2, considering its proposed capabilities, which kind of games you would like to see released?
I'd like an action/adventure game along the lines of what Tunnels and Trolls looked like it was going to be. That is, something like the third in the line of progression that started with 2600 Adventure and then Intellivison AD&D. Randomized areas to explore, randomized item and monster placement (the T&T paper and pencils game would have been great to adapt for this). Ideally, the game would make you use your head as well as your thumbs, to figure things out. And it should have a cooperative multiplayer mode, like Swords and Serpents on Intv, but with a stronger and more equal partnership between the characters.

an RPG-type game would be really cool to have! I would like to see more space-shooty stuff like Juno First and the like.
More platformers too! MAZE GAMES! Etc.
I would also like Pac-Man Collection on it, perhaps a re-issue.....hint hint hint
I love games from the past, and especially games from the 80's arcades.
Games i would like to see converted to the new Coleco CV2 without limitations, is for example.:
Wizard of Wor, New Rally X, Qix, Crush Roller, Moon Patrol, Galaga, Arkanoid a pin-ball game and so on.
As closely as possible with synthetic speech for those games it has, ability to save high scores, and with the original colors, brown, orange, pink and so on.
Something not possible in our current Colecovision.
I have to join in with the previous posters in voting for an RPG, which is a genre that's greatly under-represented on the ColecoVision. A pitty, especially considering how the controller's keypad can add so much depth to an RPG. Just look at Gateway to Apshai...
But beyond that, given the hobbyist pitch that the CV2 will go with, I tend to believe that the amount of people who will eventually program games for the CV2 is far more important than the games themselves, regardless of genre. It's not just a question of documenting the new hardware features properly, it's about making game development fun.
The CV (and the CV2 by extension) is a fun machine to program games for, and seing the fruits of one's labors encased in a little plastic cartridge is a reward in itself, but if the development tools available are only marginally accessible to what I would call "casual programmers", then the pool of people developing CV/CV2 games will not increase beyond the homebrewers already involved in the community, and I have to assume that most of those would prefer to program games for the "vanilla" ColecoVision, technical limitations nonwithstanding.
Asking people to learn Z80 assembly language is a no-go proposition in this age of Game Maker applications. C language is viable, but it has its drawbacks, such as bloating at compile/link-time, and it's also not a language recommended for beginners. What we need is something else, something that offers enough of a low-level access to the machine to make optimized code possible, while still being fun to learn and use. Batari has the right idea with his Batari Basic, in my opinion, and the CV2 needs something like that to get more people interested in programming games for it.
With such development tools, we're more likely to see more games developed in the long-term, and under-represented genres (such as RPGs) will emerge as a result.
Edited January 10, 2010 by Pixelboy
I'd program for the CV2 if I could run the tools under a familiar development environment, such as any Unix-y system or preferably the fantastic Mac OS X XCode. I'm comfortable with the vi editor, and very comfortable with C, but yeah, it'd be nice to have something even higher level. As a Pythonista, I vote for a Python extension rather than a BASIC extension.
Platform games (that play like Jumpman Junior or Montezuma's Revenge, as I never get tired of these two games.)
RPG's, possibly like Gateway to Apshai. An adventure game that you could explore for hours and enjoy "getting lost in the dungeon."
Arcade titles: 1942, Arkanoid, Bubble Bobble, Crush Roller, Dig Dug II, Donkey Kong 3, Qix.
Video Pinball(possibly like Alien Crush.)
So here is my take:
I like the idea of a RPG, however I would be careful to not go with a JRPG style. I would try to stay true to the spirit of the American RPGs from the time, and expand the experience from there. I believe that would make a lot of sense. In fact a lot of interesting original games would be done that way, trying to ignore the crash and the Japanese influence after that, extrapolating for what would have come next based on what we have got before the crash. But yeah, RPGs like T&T or AD&D and adventure games would be nice.
Arcade ports would be interesting too, we got a lot of Z80 based arcade games after the crash that would be ported almost flawless: Kung-Fu Master, Commando, Bubble Bobble, Arkanoid, 1942, Tiger Heli, Tokyo/Scramble Formation, Rygar and so many others. Lots of interesting stuff.
Another thing I would like to do is to explore some of the CV2 planned unique features. The V9990 has many interesting modes outside the obvious pattern modes (the ones with planes and sprites). Like, the V9990 is really fast rendering lines (about 20klines/s for lines 45 pixels long), so a vector game would be very interesting. The V9990 also has a very fast blitter and it can display 32k colors in bitmap mode, so I would like to try something to use that, though 256 would be ok already. In fact it can do 256 colors in 512x212 (or 424 interlaced) too. The tradeoff is that it cannot do sprites in bitmapped modes, but the blitter is so fast (we are talking about a 3MB/s fillrate with logical operation like masking turned on) that many interesting games would be possible, like 3D RPGs or isometric adventure games in full bitmap 256 colors mode.
Vector games?
Possibly Asteroids, Battlezone, Major Havoc, Space Fury, Star Trek, Star Wars or even Tempest on a CV2?
If the V9990 is enough powerfull we could envisage to give a try to FPS in the Wolf3d or Doom style. Using raycasting technics.
Talking about RPG, i'd prefer JRPG , at least concerning graphical style.
I agree with that. On my side i started to develop a kind of gamemaker for the CV . For now nothing that someone else than me can use , but i built a set of tool i use for my games that i enhance on need. The goal being at the end to propose a integrated visual development studio at the end. (run on windows)
But i think if the CV2 comes to reality , you should do like nintendo did (or does) to allow a cartridge to be produced you should impose a kind of "quality label" .

I'd be happy with an Expansion Module #2 compatible version of Exidy's Demolition Derby.
The RPG doesn't do much for me, as that type of gaming really didn't hit til well after the Colecovision's prime. That said, I've always been more of a short-span game player and never cared much for the RPG types that you had to keep coming back to.
I'm all for replay value of a game where you can 'get better' at it, rather than finish it.

TOMBOY, How We Undone Hair.
TOMBOY, A Year in Review.
EDIT: Natural Beauty Products That Do The Heavy Lifting.
I Got a Colonic And It Brought Out The Worst In Me (literally).
It has been one year since TOMBOY Beauty launched and I am proud to say that we have the best contributors in Australia – photographers, stylists, writers, sub-editors, art directors et al. We've shot in different corners of the globe; Sydney, Paris, and New York. And featured some of the most epic women in the world. We don't give a f*ck about numbers, or pumping out meaningless click-bait, overtly sponsored, or boring articles. Instead we focus on creating cool images with smart words, with expert beauty advice, and transparency, that can't be found anywhere else on the interwebs.
It takes a small village, to launch a platform like ours, and while I have never felt like it has been a one-woman show, it's true that until today, it has had a full-time staff of one! Hola!
Now, it is with great excitement, as in, is this actually happening!? That I introduce you the newest member of Team TOMBOY… Ella Jane. She's smart, talented, creative, and cool AF.
Title: Content Producer. Basically, I write, take photos, edit, and upload content to TOMBOYBeauty.com, and our social channels.
How did you get started at TOMBOY?
I met Chloe in Paris during Fashion week, my best friend Matilda Dods introduced us and we bonded over a few, actually, many margaritas! The next day I tagged along to a TB shoot and Chloe offered me the position the day I arrived back in Australia.
What is your approach to beauty?
Understated, simple, and the less I can get away with, the better. Beauty comes from knowing yourself and being comfortable with who you are. Whatever you decide to do with yourself afterwards, should stem from that.
Skincare, always. And then makeup when skincare isn't cutting the mustard.
I've been wearing Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche since I was 16, However my ideal scent would be something that smells like cut grass, rain, moss, and laundry detergent in a bottle. Super clean.
All time favourite Beauty product?
Bioderma Sensibio Light Moisturiser – It is simple, no fuss, won't irritate my skin and sits brilliantly under makeup. It's pretty boring, but its the most trustworthy product I own.
THE TOMBOY Beauty girl is….
A strong woman, who is more concerned with what's in her head than on her face. She is a woman who isn't afraid to break boundaries, or break out. Aware of the political climate, social issues, foreign policy, and what shade of red lipstick works best with her undertones. The TOMBOY Beauty girl can pull off whatever she wears, because she is confident that she can.
Creativity over almost everything. Constantly wanting to put that creativity and my ideas into work I am proud of, whatever format that may be.
…take photos, and run a blog where I publish them. I paint when I have the time, and sketch when I don't. I try and stay moving as much as I can, I'm uncomfortable when stagnant.
Tell me something weird about you?
I take pictures of myself when I look really awful as a kind of 'could be worse' reference for not-so-hot days.
