CAMDEN, N.J. (KYW Newsradio) — Some major changes are underway at one of South Jersey's top employers.
Campbell Soup Company CEO Denise Morrison is out, effective immediately.
A press release indicated she has "chosen to retire" after 15 years, but the company reported a third quarter loss of $475 million thanks, in large part, to a struggling division called Campbell Fresh.
"Keith McLaughlin, he's currently a board member, he's been a board member with Campbell's since 2016, he will become interim CEO," said spokesman Tom Hushen on the short-term future of the company.
They're also conducting a thorough review of all parts of the company. The company hopes to improve the corporate bottom line.
There is no timeline on how long that process might take.
"We announced that we're initiating a thorough review of all aspects of our strategy," Hushen added. "That's operations, its portfolio. And the goal will be to improve execution and performance in the long term."

Iran 109 among 152 countries in gender inequality
Among 152 countries across the globe, Iran has been rated at 109 in gender inequality. In last year's humanitarian development report, Iran had been rated 107th, which means that it has dropped two levels in gender inequality.
This year's report has given Iran a 0.51 score in gender inequality. The report grades countries from 0 to 1.00 and the higher the number, the worst the gender inequality. Last year, Iran had received a 0.496 ranking. This means that gender inequality has intensified in 2013.
The share of women in parliament seats, the level of women gaining midlevel education and their share in the job market are among criterions for grading inequality between men and women in each country. Based on the 2014 humanitarian development report, the share of women in parliament seats in Iran is 3.1%. Also, 62.2 % of Iranian women have above midlevel education. This number in comparison with the 67.6% of men's education is lower.
This report state that the rate of men above the age of 15 participating in the job market has been estimated at 73.1%, yet this figure for women has been announced at 16.4%.
The ranks of other countries in this report are as follows: US at 47, Canada at 23, UK at 35, France at 12, Italy at 8, Russia at 52, Turkey at 69, Jordan at 101, Brazil at 85, Ukraine at 61, Tunisia at 48, China at 37 and Indonesia at 103.

The permafrost of the East Siberian Arctic Shelf (an area of about 2 million kilometers squared) is more porous than previously thought. The ocean on top of it and the heat from the mantle below it warm it and make it perforated like Swiss cheese. This allows methane gas stored under it under pressure to burst into the atmosphere. The amount leaking from this locale is comparable to all the methane from the rest of the world"s oceans put together. Methane is a greenhouse gas more than 30 times more potent than carbon dioxide.
Findings of an international research team led by University of Alaska Fairbanks scientists Natalia Shakhova and Igor Semiletov reveal a section of the Arctic Ocean seafloor that holds vast stores of frozen methane is showing signs of instability and widespread venting of the greenhouse gas, as noted in a report by the National Science Foundation.
The research results, published in the March 5 edition of the journal Science, show that the permafrost under the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, long thought to be an impermeable barrier sealing in methane, is perforated and is starting to leak large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. Release of even a fraction of the methane stored in the shelf could trigger abrupt climate warming, according to the National Science Foundation.
The East Siberian Arctic Shelf is a methane-rich area that encompasses more than two million square kilometers of seafloor in the Arctic Ocean. It is more than three times as large as the nearby Siberian wetlands, which have been considered the primary Northern Hemisphere source of atmospheric methane. Shakhova"s research results show that the East Siberian Arctic Shelf is already a significant methane source, releasing seven teragrams of methane yearly, which is as much as is emitted from the rest of the ocean. A teragram is equal to about 1.1 million tons.
According to researchers working on the project, the concern is that further destabilization of the permafrost could result in methane releases significantly larger than teragrams. Researchers note that the Earth"s geological record indicates that atmospheric methane concentrations have varied between about .3 to .4 parts per million during cold periods to .6 to .7 parts per million during warm periods. Current average methane concentrations in the Arctic average about 1.85 parts per million, the highest in 400,000 years. Concentrations above the East Siberian Arctic Shelf are even higher.
Collaborators from 12 institutions in five countries plan to continue their studies in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf region, tracking the source of the methane emissions and drilling into the seafloor in an effort to estimate how much methane is stored there.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — With concerns over government-spending fights, a gauge of consumer sentiment fell this month to the lowest reading in almost a year, led by grimmer views of current and upcoming economic conditions, according to data released Friday.
The final October reading of the University of Michigan/Thomson Reuters consumer-sentiment index hit 73.2 — the lowest since December — down from a final September reading of 77.5.
Customers shop at a Target store in Chicago.
U.S. stocks held onto gains after the sentiment data were released.
Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected a final October reading of 74.8, compared with a preliminary monthly reading of 75.2. Economists watch sentiment levels to get a feeling for the direction of consumer spending.
According to the UMich report, the consumer-expectations index fell to 62.5 in October from 67.8 in September, while the current-conditions index declined to 89.9 from 92.6.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - la producción Industrial aumentó 0,6% en septiembre, la mayor ganancia desde febrero, la Reserva Federal dijo el lunes. El aumento fue superior a una previsión económica compilado por MarketWatch. La producción industrial aumentó 0,1%, salida de minería agregó 0.2%, mientras que la salida de utilidad aumentó 4.4%. Para el tercer trimestre, la producción aumentó a una tasa anual del 2,3% en comparación con un 1.1% ganancia en el segundo trimestre. Utilización de la capacidad aumentó a 78,3% de 77,9%. Esta es la mayor tasa desde julio de 2008. El informe fue originalmente programado para el lanzamiento el 17 de octubre pero se retrasó debido al cierre del gobierno federal.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- A gauge of upcoming home sales dropped in September to the lowest level in nine months, a sign that higher prices and rates are slowing down the housing market's rebound, according to data released Monday by the National Association of Realtors. Pending-home sales fell 5.6% in September -- a fourth month of declines -- to hit the lowest level since December. Pending sales of homes were down across the country in September, with a monthly decline of 9.6% in the Northeast, 9% in the West, 8.3% in the Midwest and 0.4% in the South. September is the first period in more than two years that pending sales weren't higher than year-earlier levels, and home sales could be lower in the fourth quarter, said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist. However, NAR expects this year's sales of existing homes to be up 10% from last year. A sale is listed as pending when the contract has been signed. Sales are typically finalized within one or two months of signing.
WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The bottom fell out of consumers' economic expectations this month, plunging a gauge of their confidence to the lowest level in half a year, as Washington's partisan bickering shut down the government and worried global investors, according to data released Tuesday.
The Conference Board, a research association, reported that its gauge of consumer confidence fell to 71.2 in October from 80.2 in September. Economists polled by MarketWatch had expected an October reading of 75, compared with an original estimate of 79.7 for September.
The Conference Board's gauge of consumer expectations dropped to 71.5 in October from 84.7 in September, while a barometer of their views on the present situation fell to 70.7 from 73.5.
Tuesday's reading on confidence echoes other recent reports showing that the showdown among U.S. lawmakers hit consumers. A separate reading on consumer sentiment recently fell to the lowest level in almost a year.
As the holiday season approaches, the key question is: Will consumers spend?

Questions, Comments and Concerns: The Wolfpack
Posted in Entertainment, Live Blogs by Molly
The Wolfpack is a documentary about the Angulo brothers, 6 teenage(-ish) boys kept almost entirely confined to their apartment by their father, Oscar. The boys watched thousands of movies, became obsessed with film, and even recreated favorite films at home: transcribing scripts, assigning roles, and building props by hand. On one of their early forays into the streets of New York City they met filmmaker Crystal Moselle, who was intrigued by their matching long hair and dark suits, looking like the cast of Reservoir Dogs. A friendship began based on their mutual love of film, and eventually Moselle began a documentary about the Angulo brothers' lives: The Wolfpack.
Unlike most of our Comments, Questions and Concerns post, this is actually a GOOD movie. It's just that there's so much going on here that we do have a few questions, comments and concerns about this most unusual family.
Comment: This is a documentary with no narration, very few talking heads, and no name cards.
So if you didn't see the 20/20 special on the family ( or any of the myriad articles about these brothers, you'll be figuring out what's going on as the doc progresses. But other than some trouble keeping the boys' names straight, you'll be just fine.
Comment: Someone in this family is a prop master in the making.
Link: The Wolfpack brothers show us how to reenact our favorite films.
In their film recreations, the Angulos create their own props and some of them are really impressive, especially when you remember they were literally using what they had around the house.
Question: Did anyone else transcribe films and TV in their youth?
I think I remember rewinding my VHS tapes to take down dialogue from shows and movies I really liked in the pre-internet era, so while these kids do have some things in common with those of us who had more typical childhoods.
Comment: Understatement of the year: "If I didn't have movies, my life would be pretty boring."
It's a phrase a lot of us can at least somewhat relate to (feel free to substitute movies with TV, or music, or theater), but coming from a teen whose only connection with the outside world was through movies, it's on a whole other level.
Concern: What would it be like to be Vishnu?
First of all, Vishnu is the only girl in this family. Second, she's described as special and in her own world, and was reported to have some sort of developmental disability. How did she get the services she need when her family rarely left their apartment? (NB: This isn't answered, and for good reason: Vishnu isn't really a subject of The Wolfpack. That's a good choice because if she does have a developmental disability it would be harder to obtain her knowing consent, and anyway none of it is our business. However, I imagine that her life is probably every bit as fascinating as her brothers'.)
Concern: How does this HAPPEN?
One boy wonders how his parents fell in love in the first place. While more extreme than most of us, this is pretty relatable – when your parents have been together forever, it's hard to picture them as the young people who first met each other.
In this case, the boys' Midwestern-raised hippie mom, Susanne, met their father Oscar in South America. They moved to New York. Susanne was under Oscar's control and Oscar began to shun the outside world, allowing the children to leave the apartment – closely supervised – only about once a year, if that. I understand, on a level, how overwhelming NY would be to a man from a less-populated area, especially when it's plausible that he has some issues with paranoia and narcissism.
As for their mother,the boys mention Oscar hitting her sometimes, but there wouldn't even need to be much or any physical violence with this level of psychological control. It's almost like when you hear about cult members who have realized the leader isn't what he promised to be, but it's too late to leave.
Comment: THAT HALLOWEEN SCENE WAS SPOOKY AS HELL THO
The brothers film children trick or treating outside their window. Meanwhile in the apartment, they record themselves in costumes lighting hay on fire and doing a spooky circle dance to This Is Halloween. It was so eerie I almost had to fast forward. If you want evidence that some boys in the group are born filmmakers, look no further. With no budget or script , they sure did evoke Halloween terror.
Question: What would happen if we all talked to people who seem interesting?
The filmmaker (Crystal Moselle) saw this pack of long-haired, suit-wearing brothers on the street. Like most of us, she wondered what on earth their story was. Unlike most of us, she went up to them and asked. What would I find out if I started talking to the characters I see on the street?
(That's gonna have to remain a mystery. Riding public transit to and from work, I have enough unwanted interactions with strangers without seeking them out.)
Concern: The level of control Oscar had is staggering, and I thought I'd heard everything.
Only Oscar had the keys to the apartment. If he told the boys to stay in one room, they weren't allowed to leave. He kept seven children so stifled that many neighbors didn't even know they existed.
Comment: My heart was in my throat during "the escape."
Mukunda, then 15, sneaked out of the apartment wearing a Michael Myers mask. He seemed "off" (as a teen in a horror movie mask would) and eventually, concerned strangers called the police. Mukunda was admitted to the psych ward, which he considers a positive experience as he was finally able to interact with non-family members. THEN, upon returning home, he told his father "I refuse to talk to you, I refuse to take your orders, we are no longer father and son anymore." That has to be one of the bravest things I've heard in my life.
From that point on, the spell was broken and the brothers began to leave the apartment.
Question: Should Child Protective Services have intervened?
And in fact, what are the bounds of legality here? I say this as someone who concentrated in family law in a New York state law school, but this is such a gray area. There's a push and pull between allowing parents the freedom to raise their children, but to intervene if the child's health and safety are in peril. Is isolating the children at home a form of abuse or neglect?
Concern: YIKES at one of the boys thinking their mother should still homeschool them.
There's nothing wrong with homeschooling if that's what both the parents and kids want, and everyone's getting a good education. The yikes comes because maybe a rule where nobody in this family says that another family member shouldn't have to leave the apartment would be a good thing, moving forward. (To be fair, he doesn't say she should never leave AT ALL, but that working outside the home wouldn't be best when she is qualified to teach the brothers. Also he certainly has insight that we don't into what Susanne actually wants to do in life.)
We'll get to this later, but the best and most freeing thing for Susanne might be to move back to where there are open spaces, which she says she misses, particularly if as her son said, having to go out into New York to work would be too taxing on her.
Concern: The hair thing.
The boys have super-long hair, at least until some make the decision to cut it. Their father says it gives them power. Their mom has really short hair. Her decision or nah?
(If it is, and she's chosen to look different from her family members, that's pretty cool.)
Question: What would the real world seem like if all you knew was movies?
Comment: I would have loved to see more of the filmmaker's interactions with the brothers.
I think leaving herself out of the film was a good choice, that's just my own curiosity. It's an interesting dynamic and like I said above, reaching out to these kids on the street isn't something your average person would have done.
Concern: In old footage, Susanne looks at Oscar like Michelle looks at Jim-Bob.
I guess the concern would be that there are hundreds of Michelles looking at hundreds of Jim-Bobs like that.
Comment: Just want to make it clear I'm not blaming Susanne here.
Is there a chance she's at fault for some of this? Sure, she could be, but I don't have enough info here to say that. Susanne was very controlled by Oscar for a long time, and she's obviously a thoughtful and intelligent person who really loves her kids (and even Oscar).
Concern: Oh no. Is Oscar comparing himself to Jesus now? Oh. no.
Comparing yourself to the Christ: almost always a bad sign unless it's in the vein of "when the weather is warm, Jesus and I are both known to wear sandals" or "Jesus and I both have an Aunt Elizabeth."
Comment: Sometimes Susanne's accent really betrays her Midwestern roots (especially when talking with her mom) and I love it.
I also enjoy how very excited she was to reconnect with her family. This is why I love this documentary: I am so rooting for the boys and their mom. (I do feel for Oscar, on some level, and hope he finds some peace.)
Question: Did anyone else practically cheer seeing one of the boys getting a job on a set and interacting with coworkers like anybody else?
Guys. I'm just really into the triumph of the human spirit. They're gonna make it after all. I'm sure of it.
Comment: ONE OF THEM MOVED OUT!
Jobs. Haircuts. Rock bands. Environmental protests. Girlfriends? I knew this was coming, but I'm amazed anyway.
And we start with the kids watching trick or treaters through their window, and end with them picking pumpkins and apples out in the world. Because at last, they live in it.
Concern: I'm very happy for everybody but if they do any more of this spooky Halloween shit I SWEAR TO GOD.
You're very great at spooky masks and eerie sequences but I'm'a have to turn this off now.

Henricus van Beek (Amsterdam, 24 maart 1816 - Breda, 14 oktober 1884) was een rooms-katholiek geestelijke en de derde bisschop van Breda na het Herstel van de bisschoppelijke hiërarchie in Nederland in 1853.

Van Beek was priester van het bisdom Haarlem en leraar op het seminarie. Zijn benoeming in Breda was een verrassing. Als wapenspreuk koos hij een verwijzing naar zijn achternaam: Leniter fluxit, Het stroomt soepel. Van Beek stond in zijn jaren in Breda bekend als een aimabele bisschop.

The ambivalent eschatologist
December 20, 2012 November 30, 2014 / abrekelmans
"What, just end?"
"Just like that?"
"The Mayans predicted it." The man was all very matter of fact. He didn't seem too concerned about having just handed you a set of major philosophical questions and an eschatological crisis along with your chai tea.
He grinned at you. There was a tick crawling in his beard. You'd been watching it the entire time he was telling you about The End of the World, and perhaps that's why you felt as though you'd missed some major logical axis-points in his story.
"Like The End the end? The End with a capital E? Or are we talking about the beginning of the end? Or like today-is-the-start-of-the-rest-of-your-life the end? Or just like, boom, gone, the end?"
"It's the Mayan calendar, sister". He was sitting cross-legged, balancing a small tin of 'just some herbs, sister' on his knee as he rolled himself a fat smoke.
"But how would you know it, if it just ended? Like, would someone have to live to verify the end? Or would it just be like a split-second of collective dooms-day acknowledgement right before the end?".
The man just shrugged, lit his joint, and told you that if humanity would only come to its senses, overcome its fascist governments, and convert to a hemp-based economy, then we wouldn't have to ask these questions.
You nodded. Interesting perspective.
But the point was, you did–and you still do–have to ask these questions.
In the three years since that conversation, you've heard about the end of the world with increasing frequency and urgency. Planets aligning. Economic crisis. Technological black holes. It all goes under. Zombies. Energetic reawakening.
The 21st December 2012 is highlighted in diaries across the world: Tomorrow, kids, we go to hell in a fast car.
Some other time some other man told you that the end of the world really means an end to spiritual ignorance. This man had a flashing smile, pepper-grey hair, and laugh-lines around his eyes. He was a healer, a disciple of Osho, and singer in a reggae band.
The End of the World is, he'd said, the point at which the universe switches over to a higher frequency, and that, that right there—he patted your arm to emphasise his point, and you wished you weren't so up-tight about people you've just met touching your arm—"that's why we've got to start meditating now, eat healthy, respect the earth, spread joy, be open to what the cosmos delivers".
He was wearing a very bright shirt, and you were somewhat distracted by the combined brightness of his shirt and his and teeth and the way he seemed so at ease with the world, so damn calm.
You wouldn't mind if the world was a calmer, more meditative, healthy-eating and respectful place, and so a part of you had wanted to believe him.
But that's the problem: A part of you has wanted to believe every other person's theory too.
Take, for instance, the evangelists (their shirts are crisp. Their hair is always side-parted. There cars always seem newly washed. You've always wanted to look in an evangelists car; you bet there would be no icecream wrappers and empty bottles on the floor) . You always wished you could believe those evangelists who came knocking on your mother's door to tell your family about the imminent apocalypse that Christ could save you from.
The first time they came, your mother had explained to them why she's an atheist, and told them exactly where they could shove their religion. Then she'd invited them in for tea.
They came back regularly after that, each time bringing a new religious brochure or magazine that your mother, after she was done arguing religion, would read and then carefully place in the big manila folder in the book case.
"They're nice people. They have interesting magazines… Even if I don't believe them", she'd say , shrugging.
One of those magazine's had an image depicting The End of the World. According to said image, the end of the world will be all fiery and red, with people running, and some people kneeling in light (looking safe and slightly smug) besides Jesus. ("Armageddon", you'd sounded out the word, let it roll across your tongue, wondered how such a bad thing—because surely, it was bad, the world ending and all?—could sound so poetic, until you considered that you find most bad things satisfying in this way, and that's why you'll be one of the people running on fire).
The image reminded you of the nightmares you'd had in grade 2, when you'd first found out that the sun would one day swallow the earth. Your fatalistic seven-year-old self had eventually reasoned that when the sun does go all Red Giant then it would be pretty fair game, seeing as it had sustained life for billions of years. The End of the World happens (And if it doesn't, you'll turn that into a bumper-sticker).
So the world will end, in some way or another, and we all know it. But listening to all these theories, and all these promises, you've never been able to work out how any one group could be excluded from the end of the earth, or even be privy to its secrets. How could something as major as The End of the World come down to be a simple delineation between good/bad, believer/non-believer, worthy/unworthy that could be explained on a brochure?
You've decided, for now at least, that the best option is to listen to the different perspectives, fill your glass with wine, and find a good vantage point from which to watch it all unfold.
Because really, you have enough troubles differentiating beginnings from endings without adding capital letters or inverted commas or theologically correct synonyms, and besides, you're still too distracted by the details of the world around you to think about its demise.
From where you sit, the only thing you can be sure of—that all of those you've spoken to will agree with—is that today ends when it becomes tomorrow.
dooms day, eschatology, prophesy, The end of the world, theory

News Pakistan Top News World
Afghanistan arrests 'foreign IS member' for Pakistan embassy attack
Islamabad: A foreign member of the Islamic State (IS) group has been arrested in connection with an attack last week on Pakistan's embassy in the Afghan capital, the Taliban's chief spokesman said Monday.
A security guard was wounded by shots fired at the embassy in Friday's attack, which Islamabad described as an assassination attempt against the head of the mission.
No country officially recognises Afghanistan's Taliban government, but Pakistan kept its embassy open even as the hardline Islamists took over in August last year, and maintains a full diplomatic mission.
Afghan government spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Monday that special forces had arrested the person responsible for the embassy attack.
"This person is a citizen of a foreign country and a member of IS," he said.
"The investigation revealed that this attack was jointly organised by IS and rebels. Some foreign malicious circles are behind the attack and the aim was to create distrust between the two brotherly countries."
Mujahid declined to say what nationality the suspect was, or if it was the same person other officials reported had been arrested hours after the incident.
Pakistan has complicated relations with the Taliban, with Islamabad long accused of supporting the Islamists even while backing the US-led invasion of Afghanistan that toppled them following the 9/11 attacks.
Pakistan is home to more than a million Afghan refugees, and the porous border they share is frequently the scene of clashes.
The Taliban have banned public protests, but Afghans have staged small demonstrations against Pakistan following such incidents.
Pakistan's foreign ministry said Monday that the ambassador, Ubaid ur Rehman Nizamani, was now in Islamabad "for consultations", but said there were no plans to close the embassy or withdraw staff.
The Taliban are at pains to portray Afghanistan as safe for diplomats, but two Russian embassy staff members were killed in a suicide bombing outside the mission in September in another attack claimed by IS.
Last month a gunman shot dead a Pakistan security guard at the Chaman border crossing, leading to its closure for a week.
Pakistan's separate home-grown Taliban — whose leaders and fighters have long operated from Afghanistan — last week said they were ending a shaky ceasefire with Islamabad.
Since returning to power the Afghan Taliban have insisted they would not allow foreign militant groups to operate from home soil.

2018 Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) will be kicking off from Oct. 30 to Nov. 1 at Sands Expo Center, where the Economic Daily News (CENS.com) and Taiwan's industry associations and unions will be leading a group of 61 Taiwanese exhibitors.
Taiwan's automotive parts is an industry highly reliant on exports; good prices and quality products makes Taiwan highly competitive. According to Taiwan Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Association's statistics, Taiwan's auto parts exports accumulated a total value of NT$104.3 billion between January and June this year; exports to the U.S. made up a whopping 40%. Popular auto parts exported were mirrors, power windows, sunroof, auto body stamping parts, electronics parts, transmissions and wheels (including wheel rims and tires).
AAPEX is regarded as the most important platform for those who wish to develop their reach in the U.S. market and U.S. automotive aftermarket. For Taiwanese brands that are highly sensitive to the market pulse, AAPEX is the show that they can't miss. These brands include engine parts supplier Wei Ann Auto Co., Ltd., brakes maker Sajones Co., Ltd., vehicle bumper parts supplier Tong Yang Industry Co., Ltd., auto lamp and light maker Eagle Eyes Traffic Industrial Co., Ltd., vehicle-use electronic sensor maker Cub Elecparts Inc., alternative energy supplier New Power Technology Co., Ltd., vehicle roof racks supplier King Rack Industrial Co., Ltd. and maintenance equipment makers like De Poan Pneumatic Corp. and Kae Dih Enterprise Co., Ltd. These companies are at the top of their game in their respective fields and will be vying for biz orders side-by-side with global players.
The Economic Daily News (CENS.com) will have its own booth (8216) at AAPEX, offering professional buyers free procurement of Taiwan Transportation Equipment Guide (TTG), Guidebook to Taiwan Handtools, Taiwan Industrial Suppliers (TIS) and AAPEX Special Report. This is provided in tandem with CENS.com's real-time biz matching services, which helps both buyers and Taiwanese suppliers get the best matches far ahead than competitors.

Paradise Lost by Paul Van Dyck at this year's Fringe Festival, features Canadian stage up-in-comer Paul Van Dyck bravely taking on John Milton's 17th century epic poem of human's fall from grace, Paradise Lost.
Van Dyck along with his collaborators Jeremy Eliosoff (Visual Effects), Jody Burkholder (Lighting/Technical Direction) and Lyne Paquette (Puppet Design) are certainly very knowledgeable having graduated from some of Canada's finest institutions.
But it is the wisdom used in harnessing this knowledge that has resulted in a bold and surprisingly faithful interpretation that integrates computer animation with low technology puppets resulting in a blissful theatre going experience.
An example of how cleverly conceived and executed this play is are the three simple white pieces of fabric that are ingeniously used as set piece surfaces to reflect the animations, as costuming, and as characters.
With the Rolling Stone's blaring, Van Dyck begins bare chested Jagger-isk symbolic of youthful conceit and bravado, foreshadowing Eve and Adam's pride before their fall.
Van Duck's extensive acting skills are evident when using the fixed expression Eva and Adam puppets requiring his voice and gestures to convey emotion. For those of you who enjoy Shakespeare and more traditional dramatic fare, this play will not disappoint.
Venue #10 – School of Contemporary Dancers – 211 Bannatyne – enter from parking lot on Main St.

Around the Rim: Stayin' alive in SA

No Comments on Around the Rim: Stayin' alive in SA
1. Dynamic duo comes through
The Spurs knew they had to win Game 3 or the curtain on their 2008 season would come down. The defending champs weren't able to stop Chris Paul, but by containing the rest of the Hornets squad, San Antonio grabbed its first win of the series, 110-99, behind the offensive wizardry of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. The Spurs backcourt provided 31 points apiece to offset another tremendous game from the should-be MVP Paul. The Hornets guard was close to yet another 30 and 10 game, finishing with 35 points and nine assists as he torched San Antonio from every possible angle. It was a back and forth contest all night, but the Spurs used and 11-0 run, capped off by a Bruce Bowen trey, to seal the game with 5:57 remaining. Tim Duncan had a big role in the victory as well with 16 points and 13 rebounds, but there's no doubt who stole the show. Parker and Ginobili became just the third duo in the past 15 seasons to each post 30 points in a playoff game. Dwyane Wade (32 pts) and Damon Jones (30 pts) did it for the Heat in 2005 and ten years earlier, Kenny Smith (32 pts) and Clyde Drexler (30 pts) went off for the Rockets.
2. Shutdown by Beantown
LeBron James is in a serious funk. After missing 16-of-18 shots in Game 1, James had another dreadful shooting performance in Game 2, going 6-for-24 from the field in an 89-73 loss to the Celtics. James finished with 21 points and seven turnovers in the contest. On the other side of the court, Paul Pierce (19 pts) and Ray Allen (16 pts) broke out of their opening game funk, joining Kevin Garnett (13 pts, 12 reb) in double-digits. The Cavs were able to take an early lead despite losing Ben Wallace in the opening minutes after he began experiencing dizziness and had to be taken to the locker room. However, the Cs roared back in the second and third quarters when they combined to outscore Cleveland 53-27. The defense is clicking for Boston in this series and with Allen and Pierce returning to form, so is the offense. Good thing Game 3 is taking place in Cleveland, the Cavs need all the help they can get.
3. Dream team
If you're wondering what the ultimate fantasy basketball lineup is, wonder no more. The NBA released the players on the All-NBA team and it is a star-studded affair indeed. Led by the only unanimous selection of the first team and current MVP Kobe Bryant, the panel gave its utmost props to Chris Paul, LeBron James, Dwight Howard and Kevin Garnett. Second team honors were issued to Phoenix duo Amare Stoudemire and Steve Nash, as well as Tim Duncan, Deron Williams and Dirk Nowitzki while Yao Ming, Tracy McGrady, Carlos Boozer, Paul Pierce and Manu Ginobili make up the third team. In case you're wondering, all five first teamers and 10 of the 15 total players are still alive in postseason action.
Thursday's Player of the Day: Tony Parker vs. New Orleans 41 min, 31 pts (FG: 12-24, 3FG: 0-1, FT: 7-8), 4 reb, 11 ast
Buzzer Beater: Happy birthday Mike D'Antoni. The coach turned 57 years old on Thursday and looks like he might get a giant wad of cash from the Knicks as a gift. New York is poised to offer D'Antoni a five-year deal in the neighborhood of $30 million! D'Antoni has yet to make a decision about his coaching future as he is apparently bouncing between either Chicago or the Big Apple. However, after the Knicks threw down there offer, sources in Phoenix could hear screams of "Yippeee!" and "I'm rich bitch!" emanating from the D'Antoni house.

No Comments on Around the Rim: A tale of two kings
1. The new king of the league
He's got the rings and now he's got the trophy. For the first time in his career, Kobe Bryant can officially be called the MVP. It took 12 seasons of patiently waiting for his turn in the spotlight, but Bryant ran away with the award on Tuesday, taking 82 first-place votes for a total of 1,105 points compared to Chris Paul who finished second with 28 first-place votes and 889 total points. Kevin Garnett finished in third while LeBron James came in fourth place. Bryant will receive his trophy tonight before the Lakers host the Jazz in Game 2 of their second round series. There's no doubting Bryant deserved the award with his 28.3 points, 6.3 rebounds, 5.4 assists and 1.84 steals per game during the regular season, but we're figuring it was the wins that earned him the trophy. After all, besides winning more games, his numbers are virtually identical to his production over the previous five to eight seasons. If you ask us, there is a distinct bias against young players amongst the MVP voters. It the same bias that kept the award out of Bryant's hands in the past and kept Paul from winning his first MVP despite posting better numbers than Steve Nash did in either of his two MVP reigns.
2. Knocked off his throne
It wasn't pretty for King James or his court in Game 1 against the Celtics. LeBron James finished with just 12 points on 2-of-18 shooting as Cleveland lost 76-72 in an ugly, ugly offensive game. Despite grabbing nine rebounds and dishing out nine assists, the game was one of James' worst ever considering he racked up 10 of the team's 17 turnovers. LBJ became just the third scoring champion to have two or fewer field goals in a playoff game the same year they won the scoring title. It was that bad. While the grass was greener on the Celtics' side of the fence, it still wasn't all that great. Ray Allen went scoreless for the first time since his rookie season and Paul Pierce missed 12 of his 14 attempts, finishing with just four points. Luckily, Kevin Garnett's 28 points proved to be enough in a tremendously disappointing game for both teams and the fans alike.
3. Mike D'Antoni weighs his options
Chicago might have finally found its next Mike. While Michael Jordan won't be walking through the arena's doors anytime soon, Mike D'Antoni very well could be. The current Suns coach appears to be off to the Windy City where he will become the latest person to attempt to make the baby Bulls grow up. Chicago GM John Paxson sounded impressed after a pair of interviews with D'Antoni, but New York is still a possible landing spot. Personally, we think it's a good move if the Bulls want to put together a European-style, run-n-gun offense, but the defense will never be a priority under D'Antoni. Rick Carlisle would be a much better candidate for turning Chicago around, but it's sounding more and more like he'll be heading to Dallas.
Tuesday's Player of the Day: Kevin Garnett vs. Cleveland 40 min, 28 pts (FG: 13-22, FT: 2-2), 8 reb, 3 ast, 2 stl
Buzzer Beater: From the "Too little, too late" file:
The NBA admitted Chauncey Billups' 3-pointer at the end of the third quarter of Monday's Detroit-Orlando playoff game should not have counted, but said referees weren't allowed to review instant replay to determine that.
League president Joel Litvin also said the disputed shot, which gave Detroit a 78-76 lead in its 100-93 victory, could not have been replayed after the clock malfunction was discovered.
"After reviewing the video of last night's Pistons-Magic game, we determined that the play that concluded with Chauncey Billups' 3-point field goal at the end of the third quarter took approximately 5.7 seconds," Litvin said in a statement. "Because there were only 5.1 seconds remaining in the quarter when the play began, the shot would not have counted had the clock continued to run."

The Bramble Berry customer service team gets about 2,300 emails, chats, and phone calls a week. That number jumps to more than 5,000 during the busy holiday season. They answer questions about everything from goat milk soap to starting a small business. We asked the team what posts they share most often, as well as their best advice for beginners. Find their answers below.
How long have you been with Bramble Berry?
What blog posts do you share with customers most often?
Mistakes are part of the fun! Be open and okay with everything not turning out as you envisioned. Sometimes things turn out better. Also, maybe start with a basic recipe with a few ingredients first rather than jumping in with a 100% coconut oil cold process soap with a swirl design and raw honey as an additive.
Anyone can do it! Trust yourself, have patience, and pay attention to the recipe.
Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Even if you're following a recipe, there can be some trial and error before you get into the groove of things. We've all had failed batches, even after we become experts!
Don't be afraid to experiment with your creations. You don't always have to "soap inside the lines" – learn how to formulate a recipe and make changes to it, how to resize your batches, and get creative!
For a beginner soapmaker my best advice would be to measure everything twice because once you make your soap you can't go back – like baking a cake!
There are so many ways to incorporate gem and crystal designs in your projects. We have a new collection of gemstone products that will get you in the mood to create gem soap, bath bombs, and more. Find inspiration below.
The Sparkly Garnet Soap Gems are an easy way to get started – all you need is melt and pour soap and a sharp knife to create the signature shape. The Free-Form Gemstones take the project to the next level with shimmery embeds and a variety of purple hues. You can also embed the gemstones into cold process, as seen in the Emerald Swirl Soap Tutorial. It's made with green and gold colorants and scented with fresh Green Fig Fragrance Oil. Sometimes adding a crystal design to your soap is as easy as topping it with pink sea salt and Snowflake Sparkle Mica, as shown in the Rose Quartz Cold Process Soap Tutorial.
Real flowers are beautiful, but sadly they can't last forever. These coffee filter flowers (yes, those are coffee filters) not only look like the real thing, but they also have a much longer shelf life! These filter "flowers" are incredibly easy to make, and you can dye them an infinite number of colors using a wide array of LabColors. Make a dozen of them for a bouquet, place setting or cute garland.
We're continuing our Make It Month Feature using the Sample of the Month, Cranberry Chutney Fragrance Oil. With every order you place at Bramble Berry throughout November, you'll receive a complimentary .5 oz. sample of this wonderful holiday fragrance.
Cranberry Chutney Fragrance Oil is one of our go-to fragrances oils because of its diverse fruity notes grounded by subtle spice. There are hint of apple, raisin and concord grape, and of course the robust scent of tart cranberries. It performs well in cold process soap, but note that it does discolor to a warm tan. In terms of other bath and body products, we like this scent so much that we use it (along with Santa's Spruce!) in our Givember 2013 projects.
Your project needs to utilize the Cranberry Chutney Fragrance Oil. Cold process, melt and pour, lotions, scrubs, home crafts and all other bath & body projects are all welcome.
Post photos of your creations on Bramble Berry's Facebook page between now (November 4th) and Wednesday, November 27. Entries submitted after November 27 will not appear in the Facebook album.
Your entry must include the hashtag "#BrambleTart" in the photo caption. Without the hashtag #BrambleTart, your photo will not appear in our Facebook album (the hashtag makes it possible for us to search for just those photos for the Make It Month).
We will post a collage of staff favorite projects on Friday, November 29th. We'll base our choices on how unique and creative the item is.
We encourage everyone to participate, from veterans to newbies! All photos submitted before the deadline that include the hashtag #BrambleTart will appear in a Facebook album on the Bramble Berry Page.
We just got Borax in at Bramble Berry for a soap and toiletry ingredient. It is most commonly used as part of an emulsification system in Lotions in conjunction with Beeswax. However, Borax has all kinds of fun science-fair type applications too!
You can make a Borax Snowflake using instructions from About.com here. You can even use a little Labcoloring to make your Borax Snowflake colored.

Sowell says
At the heart of that indoctrination is a sense of grievance and victimhood when others have better outcomes — which are automatically called "privileges" and never called "achievements," regardless of what the actual facts are.

Growing regulation causing added stress for dairy farmers – Survey :
A new industry survey has found many dairy farmers are feeling under pressure, despite strong prices.
DairyNZ has just released its annual View from the Cowshed report, which was based on the feedback of 425 farmers who opted to be surveyed between April and May this year.
It found 17 percent of farmers were feeling more positive than they were last year, but double that number were feeling less positive.
More than half of those surveyed said they or someone on their farm had experienced a mental health issue in the last year. . .
Dairy is a key to New Zealand's future – Keith Woodford:
No-one has yet found an alternative to dairy for New Zealand's export-led economy
The New Zealand economy is export-led. That is the way it has to be for a small mountainous country in the South Pacific, largely bereft of mineral resources and with minimal manufacturing, but blessed with a temperate maritime climate and lots of rain.
Alas, both history and current realities tell us that New Zealand has limited international competitive advantage in relation to technology-based engineering. That statement will be offensive to some, but the hard reality is that we cannot be considered world-leading in relation to chemical, electrical or mechanical engineering beyond small niche areas. Nor are we internationally competitive in relation to manufacture of pharmaceuticals. And when we do develop new technologies, it is not long before the owners typically set up manufacturing closer to the big international markets, using international equity to finance that move.
The painful reality is that pharmaceuticals, computers, televisions, cars, trucks, fuel and even much of our food comes from overseas. That includes rice, bananas, apricots and most bread-making wheat. Open the pantry door and have a look at the small print as to where most of the tinned food comes from. Most of it comes from Australia, China and Thailand. . .
Gidday Auckland, we don't always see eye to eye but us Southlanders have a lot of sympathy for you all in week 10 of being locked down.
So here's some Tulip shots to brighten up your day, hang in there. pic.twitter.com/v7QPULHGMx

Surfing for farmers kicks off for another summer – Maja Burry:
Farmers are preparing to get back out on the water, with the Surfing for Farmers programme kicking off again this month.
This year the initiative is being run at 21 different beaches around the country, with six new locations coming onboard and hopes of up to a thousand individual farmers taking part.
Surfing for Farmers was launched in Gisborne in 2018 and encourages farmers to take a couple of hours each week to head to the surf to help better manage stress and improve their mental health.
While some regional organisers were waiting a few more weeks for the water to warm, others were diving straight in, with an event planned at Ōhope Beach in Bay of Plenty tomorrow. . .
2021 2022 Ballance Farm Environment Awards to proceed nationally :
Despite the interruptions of COVID-19, the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust is delighted to confirm that the 2021/2022 Ballance Farm Environment Awards (BFEA) will proceed as planned throughout the country, including the new Catchment Group Award.
Even with the disruptions caused by the changes to alert levels in Auckland, Northland and Waikato the awards have received a pleasing number of entrants across the country allowing the programme to continue albeit with some adjustments to ensure the safety of all involved. "Our regional committees have worked hard with the farmers and growers in their communities to ensure a worthwhile and rewarding programme can be completed," said Joanne van Polanen, Chair of the New Zealand Farm Environment Trust. "It is more important than ever that the great initiatives and work being done by farmers and growers is being celebrated and shared with others."
The BFEA programme has been slightly adapted to make it safer and less onerous for entrants given the current COVID-19 situation. This includes the requirement for all judges and entrants to be vaccinated and one round of judging being used to complete the full judging process, thus limiting the amount of contact between entrants and the judging panels. . .
Galatea dairy portfolio offers robust returns :
With the New Zealand dairy sector re-asserting itself as a key global protein source, investment interest in the sector has been heightened in the past year.
This spring the opportunity to invest in dairy's ongoing fortune has presented itself with a portfolio of properties in the Galatea district, southeast of Whakatane.
The Barkla Portfolio offers a platform for either an owner-operator seeking a larger-scale farm operation, or an investment group wishing to participate in a rural investment capable of delivering strong cash focused returns. . .

Our history with bee pollen :
Ambrosia – The Food Of The Gods
Our story starts over 100 million years ago. Our world was very different. Two huge land masses dominated, Gondwana in the South and Laurasia in the North. The landscape would have appeared very different to our modern world – towering conifer forests, the first flowering plants had just started to bloom; dinosaurs ruled the land, flying reptiles ruled the sky and giant marine reptiles ruled the sea. Our descendants were little more than small, nocturnal mammals living in the shadow of the mighty T-Rex, Iguanodon and Triceratops.
The first flowering plants hailed the introduction of the hero of our story – the bee. The oldest record we have of a bee dates to over 100 million years ago, preserved perfectly in amber, and bees had probably been around for over 30 million years previously. . .

Can't get in, can't get out
Aucklanders' hopes of being able to get out of the city by Christmas have been dashed:
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's admission on radio today that the hard border around Auckland is set to remain in place over summer to unvaccinated people proves she's prepared play The Grinch in order to mask her Government's failures, says Leader of the Opposition Judith Collins.
She came without packages, she came without bags, she went on the radio, to make Christmas hopes sag.
"Speaking to ZM, the Prime Minister said: 'We are looking at how, if you are adding on a testing regime, how you would manage that number and that scale of people being tested, but also, yes, using vaccine certificates is part of that, so, while we are still working on it if anyone wants to make sure they are able to leave over the summer, it's another reason to get vaccinated'.
"The PM should be explicitly clear on whether Aucklanders will be free travel this summer.
"She says there are still issues being worked through on, if and how Aucklanders will be able to travel this Christmas.
"This just isn't good enough.
"National has called for easing MIQ so that Kiwis can come home for Christmas. Now we hear that Labour might not even allow Aucklanders to travel for Christmas.
"There are no excuses for the Government to still be working on major aspects of their so-called traffic light system.
"New Zealanders need certainty. People are planning their summers now. Families want to know if they will see each other at Christmas. If they don't know what the situation at the Auckland border will be many people simply will not plan a family Christmas or summer holiday.
"Not only will that keep loved ones separated, a closed border will be dire for the tourism industries of places such as Coromandel and Northland that rely on visitors from Auckland.
"Most Kiwis have done the right thing and got vaccinated. We can't lock up Auckland forever because the Government has set a vaccination target that is more ambitious than anywhere else in the world.
"National's 'Back in Business' plan calls for regional boundaries to be abolished once an 85-90 per cent vaccination milestone is met, or December 1, whatever comes first.
"Labour's target of 90 per cent for every single DHB is impossibly high, and some DHBs are so far behind it's impossible to see the target being met anytime soon.
"Kiwis need a path back to normality. Summer is what we've been looking forward to. But it seems the PM wants to play The Grinch and keep us locked up forever."
Tens of thousands of people can't come home because of the shambles that is MIQueue and now Aucklanders aren't going to be able to get out of their city when they want to:
Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins told Checkpoint the government is considering the option that Aucklanders have an allocated time slot to leave the region over the summer holidays.
The measure would reduce the risk of queues of traffic at the boundary checkpoints, as vaccination certificates are checked. . .
Reduce queues? How would that work? Another lottery like the MIQueue for people trying to get into the country? And what about the people from north and south of Auckland wanting to get through the city to and from Northland and Waikato?
What was he thinking? Was he even thinking?
National's Covid-19 spokesperson Chris Bishop told Checkpoint he thinks the potential time allocation for Aucklanders to leave the region in holidays is "the stupidest idea I've ever heard".
"MIQ is bad enough, with the lottery of human misery for Kiwis to come home to their own country. The idea that Aucklanders will be allocated by the government a week away or something, when I first saw it on Twitter… I actually had to reread it about three times. I couldn't believe it. . .
This government hasn't the logistical expertise needed to enable New Zealanders to come home. How on earth do they think they'll be able to get a workable timetable for Aucklanders to leave their city?

macOS Sierra 10.12.3 Beta 4 is now available to download for registered developers. Update your software right away.
It was only a few days back Apple updated its lineup of beta software for developers, including macOS 10.12.3. Today, Apple is going one step ahead by issuing the fourth beta of its under-development desktop software. And given how quickly the update has arrived, we recommend everyone to download and install it right away on their Macs. Of course, only if you are a developer and have the beta installed in the first place.
First of all, make sure you have saved all your work since you will be required to restart your Mac in order to complete the installation. Once that is done, simply connect to a WiFi network and then launch the Mac App Store. The update will be available to download under the Updates tab. Just let the Mac App Store refresh completely before doing so.
The installation may take quite a while depending on the type of hardware you have with you. A Mac with a 'Pro' moniker along with a SSD will zip right through without any fuss. Others might take a while.
If you are looking to download macOS 10.12.3 Beta from scratch, then you can pick up the bits and pieces from the Apple Developer Program website. You will be taken to the Mac App Store in for the final download, however.
Also, you must have an Apple Developer Program membership at hand in order to access the portal in the first place. The membership will set you back $99 on an annual basis, granting you access to every beta software Apple is currently working in the background on.
Whether you are a developer or not, we highly recommend updating to the latest macOS 10.12.3 beta immediately for obvious reasons. If Apple pushed out this update in such a short while then it means a critical bug was squashed in the very last minute. Whatever the case might be, hit that download button and be on the latest and greatest.
We wil inform our readers whenever macOS 10.12.3 is available to download for the public.

Dyson V7 Vs. V8 Comparison – What's The Difference?
Dyson released their V7 cordless vacuum in early 2017. The name suggests it sits between the V6 and V8 ranges - but how do the models compare? Read our V7 vs V8 comparison to find out!
The V7 isn't quite as powerful as the V8, but it's cheaper and comes with many of the same features. Which should you buy though?
For maximum suction or a longer 40-minute run-time, the Dyson V8 is the best choice. It's an outstanding vac that excels on any surface. Click here to view the price of the V8 Animal.
If you don't mind the 30-minute run-time or slightly lower suction, the V7 is a cheaper option. Click to view the V7 Motorhead price.
What is the Dyson V7?
At SpotlessVacuum.co.uk, We're big fans of Dyson cordless vacuums. The Dyson V8 Absolute is our highest rated cordless, while versions the V6 series also feature on several of our "Best of" lists.
There's no doubt Dyson vacuums are expensive. But the combination of powerful suction, excellent floor tools and handheld mode make the V6 and V8 difficult to beat.
To make matters more confusing, Dyson released the new V7 series in 2017. The goal of the Dyson V7 is to provide a middle-ground between the cheaper V6, which has a relatively short run-time, and more powerful V8.
While we certainly think there is a gap for the V7, it added to Dyson's already extensive array of cordless vacuums (this is why we've written in-depth about the differences between the V6 and V8 and compared the V8 Absolute and Animal).
The Dyson V7 was initially only available through Dyson's website, but is now sold on regular shopping sites. We've received a few questions about whether it's worth buying, so we thought it would be useful to compare it to the V8.
As the name suggests, the V7 aims to improve on the V6 cordless vacuum while being cheaper than the V8 (click here for a comparison of the V6 and V7). It has many of the features found on the flagship V8, but is available at a lower price.
The V7 is built with a similar design to the V8. The body of the vacuum has a trigger for suction and can either be used in handheld mode or as a stick vacuum. When used as a stick vacuum, the powerful direct-drive floor head can clean both carpets and hard floors.
Other features include an improved battery life compared to the V6 (but shorter than the V8), "no-touch" dirt emptying system and several accessories. Like other Dyson cordless vacuums, you can switch to max mode when you need more power.
Motorhead - the Motorhead is the basic version of the V7. It comes with Dyson's direct-drive cleaner head that's 75% more powerful than the standard V6.
Animal - the Animal, as you would expect, includes a mini motorised tool for cleaning pet hair on carpets and furniture.
Total Clean - the V7 Total Clean is the only model to come with Dyson's "Fluffy" floor tool. This is also called the "soft roller cleaner head" and is designed for hard floors. The Total Clean also has the mini motorised tool and quick-release dusting brush.
Trigger. The Trigger is a handheld version of the V7. It doesn't include the stick design, but is cheaper and provides the same suction power.
Now, let's take a look at how the V7 compares to the V8. The table below summarises most of the main differences, or scroll down for a more in-depth comparison.
* This is the RRP listed on the Dyson website. It doesn't reflect the current price of each model on shopping sites on in-store.
Both the V7 and V8 have three versions but only the Animal models are directly comparable. The Total Clean versions are quite different in terms of filter and tools, while the Motorhead and Absolute only appear on the V7 and V8 respectively.
V7 and V8 cordless vacuums use Dyson's 2-Tier Radial Cyclones to maintain suction while capturing dirt and dust.
They can each convert from a stick vacuum to handheld mode.
Both have a trigger design, so you need to hold a button to activate suction. This maximises battery life but makes the vacuums a tad less convenient to use.
The V7 includes the "No-Touch" dirt emptying system that was added to the V8 (the V6 doesn't have the same feature). This pushes out dust with an internal collar, rather than relying on gravity.
Both are relatively lightweight, although the V8 is marginally heavier.
One of the main differences between the V7 and V8 is the motor. The Dyson V8 comes with the company's most powerful V8 engine, so it's able to remove more dust and dirt - especially when in "boost" mode. The V8 also has a more powerful direct-drive cleaner head that can clean deeper into carpets.
This doesn't mean the V7 is weak though. Dyson claims the V7's direct-drive floor head is still 75% more powerful than standard V6, which is already a powerful handheld.
Battery run-time is probably the biggest difference between the V8 and V7. The V7 has a maximum run-time of 30 minutes when used with a non-motorised floor tool, which is 10 minutes less than the V8.
30 minutes is around average for a cordless vacuum - and probably enough for most cleaning tasks. This is especially true as cordless vacs are usually better for "little and often" cleaning rather than extended sessions.
Even so, reducing run-time by 10 minutes may be an issue for some households - especially as this is the maximum time without a motorised floor tool.
Both the V7 and V8 have similar accessories. The V7 Motorhead, for example, includes a combination tool and crevice tool. Other models have a soft-dusting brush and mini motorised tool. All these accessories can be found on the V8, including several others, but the kit you get depends on the version.
The V7 and V8 also both include a docking station for charging and storing accessories.
Filtration systems tend to go under the radar, but are vital for allergy sufferers. Dyson have been somewhat vague about the filter system included with the V7, but the basic model doesn't seem to come with the advanced filtration system of the V8.
Instead, you get a lifetime washable filter. This may not be as effective as the V8 for allergy sufferers.
The V7 is cheaper than the V8 - but the difference at first release probably isn't as much as many people hoped.
The V7 Animal, for example, has an RRP of £299.99 according to the Dyson website at the time this article was last updated. The V8 Animal, which has a longer battery life, more powerful suction and better filter, has an RRP of £349.99.
While this is a saving of £50, which is a decent amount of money, we recommend paying extra to get the advanced features of the V8.
To summarise, the Dyson V7 has a less effective filter, a 10-minute shorter run-time and isn't quite as powerful. It still has many of the same features of the V8 though, including the bin emptying system, yet is available for a cheaper price.
To put this in context, the Dyson V8 is by far the best cordless vacuum on the market at the moment (at least until the V10), so this doesn't mean the V7 is a bad cordless. In fact, it's a great vacuum - but with an RRP that's not much lower than the V8, we can't help but feel Dyson has slightly missed the mark.
With that said, now the V7 has been on the market for a few months we're starting to see the price drop.
As we mentioned in the price section, if you can find the V7 for around £60 cheaper than the corresponding V8 version - and don't mind the reduced specification - it's an excellent vacuum.
Dyson need to sort out its marketing strategy..
The difference between the Absolute and Absolute PRO…..
is the PRO has a black tube..
Completely agree Tony! Dyson has really taken this on-board recently though and have been simplifying their range.
Does the hardfloor (fluffy) tool work well with animal hair all over the hard floor or is the standard motorhead better?
What is the runtime with motorhead?
Hi Mia. The run-time of all the V7 models is 30 minutes.
Does the V7 Animal come with the hard floor tool?
Hi John. No, the V7 Animal doesn't include that tool – you'll need to get the Total Clean.
