Report: Yahoo to keep Alibaba, examine core asset sale

Yahoo's board has reportedly decided to not move forward with spinning off its stake of Alibaba and is instead looking to part ways with its core business. The move has resulted in a more than 2 percent jump in the price of the company's shares in after-hours trading.
According to CNBC, Yahoo will look to possibly sell off its core business, but that is something observers and pundits believe does not have real value when you take away Alibaba and other equity interests.
Much has been said about the company over the past few weeks leading up to this meeting, including whether chief executive Marissa Mayer would wind up keeping her job. But perhaps the biggest elephant in the room was what the board would decide to do with its 15 percent holdings in Alibaba, estimated to be worth around $32 billion.
The decision to part with Alibaba left some questions unanswered; specifically, the Internal Revenue Service didn't rule on whether Yahoo could face a tax issue when putting its stake in Aabaco, the new name of the spinoff company filled with Alibaba and Yahoo Small Business.
Yahoo had been pressured in the past by activist investors from Starboard to spin off Alibaba, saying that it would be a "good first step," but months later, Starboard recanted and demanded that Alibaba remain a part of Yahoo. As a result, the firm sought to push Yahoo to sell its core business instead.
It looks like Starboard has convinced the Yahoo board to follow through on its latest plan. Speculation over who would be a possible buyer for Yahoo's business has already started, with Verizon chief financial officer Fran Shammo saying this weekend that his company "could be tempted to buy Yahoo."

He was a sociologist at Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz. He published this book in Overview: This is a book about envy, an important subject which has generally been neglected by academics. The author criticizes researchers in the social sciences of having paid too little attention to envy. In particular, envy as a motivation for crime.
Black Magic, Witchcraft, and Sorcery: Envy plays a major role in many primitive cultures. Envious people suspect successful people of having achieved their success by practicing sorcery. People who are envied fear that the envious ones will practice black magic against them to hurt them. If something bad happens by chance to the envied person, they will believe that their misfortune was caused by the black magic of the envier.
Nemesis was a Greek god that punished the arrogant and greedy. Ostracism: In Ancient Greece, citizens who received too much good fortune were often ostracized: sent away from the city for ten years.
Herodotus tells a tale of the most honorable man in Athens, Aristides, being ostracized for it. Ingratitude and Resentment: Acts of generosity are often responded to not with gratitude, but with ingratitude.
Ingratitude and resentment toward the benefactor is actually the rule. Schadenfreude: Envy, which is pain at the good fortune of others, has a converse, schadenfreude, which is joy at the misfortunes of others.
Vandalism: Envy is the motive behind vandalism. If I cannot have a nice school, house or car, then I will damage yours so you cannot enjoy it. Dealing with Envy: People who fear being envied often respond by hiding what they have. Kennedy out of envy. Social Justice: Social justice is a polite term for envy.
When the hard life of the poor had largely been ameliorated, to keep the movement for social justice alive, the leaders turned to pandering to envy. The progressive income tax was a way to appeal to the envy of the lower classes. They admitted to themselves that they were unable to figure out how to make Britain more egalitarian by gradualism and democracy.
In fact, Sidney once told his wife Beatrice that he hoped their Labour Party would lose the election, because they had no plan for dealing with unemployment. Privacy: In primitive societies, it is difficult for the individual to spend personal time alone. There is a fear of what they might be up to. The Israeli kibbutzim also opposed personal privacy, because people who spent time alone were seen as hoarding their time to themselves, instead of sharing it with others.
Causal Delusion: The envious person perceives the fact that the envied person possesses wealth or privilege as being the cause that prevents the envious person from obtaining it.

Wants to claim it prevents economic growth and also claim Asian values are heavily infected with envy and conformism but you've seen more impressive growth there than in most of the West even if the West's degenerate by the authors standards you still see different attitudes which are more individualist and generally accepting of inequality and diversity. The interpretation of William Jennings Bryan, populism and social ostracism is also weak.
This is way to reductionist and dealing with very conflatable subjects e. Envy exists and is important and definitely does play a role in all kinds of decisions but it's mostly the haves wanting the have nots getting any privileges they "had to work for" today. You can invoke feelings of popular envy more easily from perceived freeloaders than established wealth.
Envy has never made anyone rich. This is all just moralism. Many people have gotten ahead by means of sabotage and have gotten much pleasure out of it at the same time. Aug 17, Kenneth rated it it was amazing. This book gives plenty to think about in human society. It is sociological rather than philosophical, so it spends more time describing society and the impact of envy than it does saying what the response of society should be to envy.
He does give a fairly balanced view of envy as both a boon and bane for society. His arguments on envy as the driving force of most progressivism and the foolishness of efforts to build a Utopia without envy are well worth the read.

His last sentence demonstrates his thesis well: "The time has surely come when we should stop behaving as though the envious man was the main criterion for economic and social policy.

Helmut Schoeck
Part of the Liberty Fund network. Ivan is drawing the young and envious Nikolai further into a plot to disrupt Soviet society. He stews over the privileges and honors bestowed on others. Envy, says Schoeck, is something we all feel but hardly ever talk about. Other negative emotions are granted a degree of public respect. We can admit to hatred, fear, and even jealousy, but envy is a quality we attribute only to others, whose envy is to be feared.

Railways to use AI for preventing signal failures
New Delhi: Aiming to reduce the possibilities of signals failing, Indian Railways has undertaken remote condition monitoring of the system, a new approach for the national transporter, to predict failures through the effective use of Artificial Intelligence.
The Signalling system is vital for safe train operations and the railways completely depend on the health of its signalling assets alongwith real time information. Currently, the railways follow a manual maintenance system and adopt find-and-fix methods rather than predict-and-prevent approach.
"Now, we are introducing remote condition monitoring using non-intrusive sensors for continuous online monitoring of signals, track circuits, axle counters and their sub-systems of interlocking, power supply systems including the voltage and current levels, relays, timers," said a senior Railway Ministry official involved with the project. The system entails the collection of inputs on a pre-determined interval and sending this to a central location.
As a result, any flaws or problems in the signalling system would be detected on a real time basis and rectified to avoid possible delays and mishaps. The failure of signals is one of the major reasons for train accidents and delays. Currently remote monitoring of signalling is opertaional in Britain.
The system envisages data transfer through a wireless medium (3G, 4G and high speed mobile) and data based on these inputs will be utilised, with help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), for predictive and prescriptive Big Data analytics.
This will enable prediction of signalling asset failures, automated self-correction and informed decisions on intervention strategies, said the official. The railways have decided that trial be taken up in two sections of Western Railway and South Western Railway at Ahmedabad-Vadodara and Bengaluru-Mysuru.Depending upon the feedback, the system would gradually be extended to other sections.

Thanks, buddy. Maybe I could get an IRL friend/family to record. There is a component where you can listen online - I have that part in addition to listening in my car - but I'm not sure how it works with the seven-day trial. I'll try to figure it all out tomorrow. I'm sure you did, though I'm not sure if it's relevant to this thread. And I don't know.
Someone whined about getting a three-day timeout. The poster who is now Good Posting Judge (IIRC) posted something like "you know who else got a three-day timeout? Jesus" and then something about how instead of whining about it he just flew right up to heaven. Something like that. Great callback by Nipsey.
Oh believe me, he's pretty.* *I've never seen him.
I love the "mono" designation. I can't believe you did this one and did it so well. Tucking it away amongst my favorites. Thank you so much for it!
I reinstate any and all requests I've made that have not been fulfilled in the prior pages of this thread. Thank you.
Nothing but love, my friend. I've already sent PMs to people from whom I've requested edits. There aren't many.
I did my recording and listened back; thought it sounded a little low energy. I had to follow their script this time rather than winging it. Also the #11 Beatles Channel listeners song is not in my top 30. Sent to the guy anyway and told him I'd redo it if necessary, and he responded that it was "perfect." Yay me.
You know, I try to never think about what anybody looks like but am always surprised regardless. It's a weird sort of dynamic. Maybe the psychology of it is good for a thread. Whoa, you guys were prescient.
Just bumping this one while I'm here.
It's very few posts, and only when I criticized or mock-criticized someone IRL. Relax, nerds.
The screaming goat posts are a must! I'm only going to be editing my own words, not anyone else's. I only am going to ask that you either hide or edit your own quotes of my posts. This is the rare situation where I'm glad we no longer have automatically nesting posts, so not as many to edit. I'm almost halfway through and only have a list of four requested edits so far.
From page 58 of the thread, and I've been thinking this for over two months now. I'm going to make a change.
I'm doing a little thread clean-up of some of my own posts. Have only edited so far but might have some I hide in their entirety. Not much - only two in the first 40 pages. Just warning you here because (1) the thread might get slightly shorter, and (2) I will be messaging a few of you with requests to edit or hide your posts in response to mine. TIA for your help!
Someone had to say it. Seemed like a good dude and had an excellent showing considering what he was up against.
You could sign up for a free seven-day trial and then cancel it? Also perhaps someone could record it, but that won't be me. I'm not going to listen!

Il turco-calvinismo (in olandese Calvinoturkisme) si riferisce all'alleanza o al riavvicinamento tra i seguaci della Riforma protestante e l'Impero ottomano durante il XVI secolo.

Questo riavvicinamento avvenne a spese degli Asburgo cattolici, poiché la Riforma protestante stava lottando per la sopravvivenza in Europa ed entrò in seguito in conflitto frontale con il movimento iconoclasta del 1567, e in concomitanza anche l'Impero ottomano stava combattendo contro gli Asburgo per il controllo dell'Europa centrale. Questo riavvicinamento può essere visto come una continuazione dell'alleanza franco-ottomana stabilita da Francesco I di Francia all'inizio del XVI secolo, sebbene la Francia, come potenza cattolica, fosse spesso nemica delle potenze protestanti del nord Europa.

Gli olandesi in particolare erano coinvolti in queste relazioni. Furono scambiati gli inviati e fu stabilito un centro del commercio ottomano ad Anversa in accordo con il Sultano, dove quattro greci furono in grado di officiare. Questo riavvicinamento portò uno stimolo allo sviluppo di Anversa e della costa occidentale. Nel 1612, l'Olanda stabilì un'ambasciata formale nell'Impero ottomano, dopo la Francia (1534) e l'Inghilterra

Faulty Facebook Text Check Tool Costly for Advertisers
November 3rd 2017
The following article is taken from a news release about what we've found with Facebook's faulty algorithm (as admitted by them). Our managing director, Michael, was interviewed for the piece....
More and more marketers are using Facebook as a vehicle to get their message across, says Tailored Social's Michael Collas-Smith, and Facebook is making millions from them, making it one of the world's wealthiest companies.
However, he says an automated tool that is supposed to allow advertisers to check if their image
contains too much text prior to going through the ad creation process is faulty, as admitted in
written communication by Facebook staff.
The communication does state that an internal tool used by Facebook produces a different result
to that which is supplied by the online tool that advertisers use to check their content before
creating ads. Furthermore, a manual review tool where an actual person ran the ruler over the
content is no longer available.
"Facebook limits the reach to audiences for ads it deems contains too much text, thus arbitrarily
inflating the CPM (cost per thousand) and charging advertisers more for less. Despite the warning
that Facebook provides on text when creating advertisements, it is incongruous with the tool
Facebook provides to advertisers prior to this. Wording on the ad images are supposed to be
restricted to 20% and when this is greater, reach is limited and a higher CPM applies."
Following frustration expressed by its clients, Tailored Social has exchanged email correspondence
with Facebook on numerous occasions and provided examples of inaccuracies with the tool.
Michael Collas-Smith says, "We have demonstrated that the tool used by advertisers detects more
text on an image with less text and vice versa. We tested the same image with the same number
of words but on one image the words were larger and the automatic tool gave us different results,
approving one but not the other. In one instance the word 'Stop' on a street sign in the image was
counted as text.
"The representative we dealt with told us that the tool was just a guideline for advertisers and was
different to the tool used internally by Facebook to check images.
"She stated, 'We do text check with our internal tool, not the text overlay tool since it could have
some errors as you experienced with those example images you sent'.
"This doesn't make sense … why not provide the same tool so that advertisers know exactly where
they stand? Is their internal tool faulty as well? How would we know?"
Michael Collas-Smith says, "At the very least Facebook should have a responsibility to customers
to allow humans to check for the 20% text content, or at least to independently verify the
algorithm used is perfect.
"Otherwise all that can be inferred is that Facebook knows that the tool or algorithm isn't perfect,
but is fine with that because it is making more money."
He says there would be many advertisers who had faced the same issues since the manual review
feature was taken away, resulting in millions, if not billions, of revenue for Facebook.

Which Channel to Use for which Offering?
October 3rd 2017
We're often shocked when clients tell us about their past experiences with other agencies, and this was the case recently with Enhanced Group, a financial firm that approached us to generate more leads for their services. Specialising in mortgages and real estate, we could not believe it when they said their previous agency (who shall remain nameless) signed them up for a three-month trial at $12,000 for pay-per click (PPC) campaigns on Facebook and Google AdWords. "Facebook for mortgages," we echoed before trailing off...FACEBOOK FOR MORTGAGES?!
Whether it's Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google AdWords, each channel is often better suited for particular offerings than others. There are myriad reasons for this, but for the purposes of this blog we'll keep things simple: certain channels are better for business-to-consumer offerings, while others deliver for business-to-business. When Enhanced Group told us their previous agency sold them on PPC for Facebook to try and sell mortgages, we suggested they get legal advice and investigate whether they could get compensation.
Facebook's ad delivery model means that you're essentially showing your wares to people that haven't asked for them. Sure, the data says they might be interested, but it doesn't mean they want or need it. While this model can work well for consumer goods, for example, an offering such as a mortgage isn't something people just jump into: they often research different options for weeks, if not months, trying to find the right fit. As such, when Enhanced Group came to us and asked whether we could get them leads, and how, our first reponse (following our shock) was to say NOT ON FACEBOOK. We then explained why, and in far more detail than in this blog...
Prior to taking any client on, we investigate the cost per mille (CPM, the dollar value to reach 1,000 people), or the cost-per click (CPC, how much each click will cost), as well as the demand and other factors for each channel we think 'might' work for a particular client. We run these through a formula we've established over the years, and then report back to the prospective client on which channels could deliver on their objectives, and which won't. Occassionally, we have to tell clients we're simply not confident any channel will work, and that perhaps it would be better not to go digital.
We refer to this as our 'due diligience', and while it means we might miss out on a few clients' trial contracts, we also avoid feeling like con artists! Longterm relationships that are profitable for both us and our clients aren't only ethical, they're a lot more fun to work on. In all honesty, it becomes depressing if a campaign isn't hitting its targets, and they're a lot more work.
Always ensure you or your agency investigate the viability of a channel PRIOR to signing the dotted line. Digital advertising is great, it works, it can make people lots of money --but it's not for everyone.
User Experience (UX): Art or Science?
The general rule of thumb when it comes to UX is simple: never make the user click twice if you want them to do something. But what happens when you're driving traffic to your target URL(s) to buy, sign up, or generate a lead, and none of that happens? Real UX begins to take place and, unfortunately, it's not so straightforward.
While many may think adjusting the price, offer, or copy would fix the problem (and sometimes it does), it's not always the case. Over the past four years, the impact a layout, colour scheme, or even a font has had on the conversion rate or success of a client's campaign has never ceased to amaze.
To use MusicEDU and BackPay as examples, in both cases when their respective pay-per click (PPC) campaigns began, we were driving traffic at an incredibly low cost-per click (CPC) to the target URLs. Again, in both cases, however, conversions weren't taking place. As you might imagine, regardless of whether we bring a thousand horses to water, if none of them drink and the client doesn't manage a positive return on investment, they won't stay with us. Why would they?
As the PPC metrics were all in the green, and the offers by both companies were attractive to the target markets, we knew it was a UX problem. Digital advertising is an iterative process, and so when things aren't going the way we want them to it's a case of deducing what the culprit could be. For MusicEDU, it was simply adding an image of the director's face, a human face, to the target URL. For BackPay, believe it or not, it was simply changing the font and alignment of the text! In both cases, each campaign went from zero to hero.
All of this finally leads us back to the question in the title of this blog: is UX an art, or is it a science? The conclusion we've come to is that it's both. Put your best foot forward with your creative (the art), bring the target market in, then test and refine (the science).

On a gloriously sunny morning the monotonous high-pitched sound of contractors strimming grass along the towpath urged a departure!
Do you ever get a "Doom Feeling", you know the sort of nervous anxiety that something unfortunate may happen…? Such was the experience this morning – there was an occasional squealing from one or more of the drive belts (sometimes this happens when the washing machine is operating but this wasn't the case today) and from the rudder came an ominous rattle. The Captain, however, reassured that the rattle noise was cavitation, an effect caused by shallow water. As the boat drew closer to Stoke the noise died away as the water deepened. The squealing too seemed to disappear.
There are three garden surprises to report: in the first was a pair of Belisha beacons.
Remember them? Does anyone know of any not yet replaced by pedestrian crossings?
In a small urban garden a sheep and a goat were facing each other off.
and the eye barely registered the house!
and the Etruscan Bone and Flint Mill.
In Stone the other day two bicycles with panniers had been seen, safely locked to a post. What was unusual on each was the white number suspended from the frame. Today various cyclists (on white numbered bikes) whizzed past: "Cycling holiday," one person called.
One of the locks has the railway running just behind the lock tail. The bridge is low (a boat approach brings you eyeball to eyeball with roosting pigeons).
Overheard from a cyclist going down the towpath here: "Ooh, this isn't a very good cycling path." Horses first, railway second, other users later…!
And so to the upper two of the Stoke locks: they are deep and the force of water when the locks are being filled is pretty fierce. Here the last lock gate is being closed.
Up rises the boat to Etruria Junction, the main line continuing on the Trent and Mersey Canal but to the right is access to the Caldon Canal. How long has this insect been here?
Not half a mile further on is the entrance to the Festival Marina, formed from the redeveloped National Garden Site created for the 1986 Garden Festival.

'Sweetly may we all agree'?
By this stage in our year of Methodist anniversaries readers of this magazine may be heartily sick of Methodist history and heritage: out of breath from countless Charles Wesley sing-a-longs and rheumatic from the Primitive Methodist bicentenary celebrations on a wind-and rain swept Mow Cop. There is one element of the story still to be told, though, because the union of 1932 brought together not two but three Methodist denominations, and the smallest of the partners of 1932, the United Methodist Church, was itself a federation of other groups.
The United Methodist Church was only twenty five years old in 1932 (so the mathematically astute will realise that we are also marking its centenary this year). It represented three quite distinct older traditions, the Methodist New Connexion, the Bible Christians and the United Methodist Free Churches.
The New Connexion began in 1797, with a small group of ministers and lay people who wanted a greater say for the laity in the government of the church. Their leading spokesman, Alexander Kilham, had been expelled by the Conference in 1796. It remained a small body, only reaching a membership of 40,000 by 1907. Its strength lay in northern manufacturing towns and its affinities were towards the Wesleyans.
The Bible Christians, on the other hand, resembled the Primitive Methodists in style and evangelistic fervour, if not in numbers. Founded in the West Country in 1815 by the revivalist William O'Bryan, a former Wesleyan Local Preacher whose freelance evangelism proved too independent for the old Connexion, the Bible Christians were strong in Devon and Cornwall and in the Channel Islands, Kent and along the South Coast .They also established outposts in the North East of England through migration. Lacking the industrial wealth of the New Connexion, the Bible Christians brought about 32,000 members into the 1907 union.
The United Methodist Free Churches were constituted in 1857 after thirty years of wrangling within Wesleyan Methodism. This was a time of tremendous numerical growth, but cutting a long and sad story short, a series of conflicts between central control and local autonomy, made worse by personality clashes and power struggles, brought about many secessions and expulsions from the 1820s to the 1850s. A complicated process of negotiations drew several of these dissident groups together in the UMFC, a body which was jealous of the rights of lay people, local churches and circuits. This denomination contributed about 72,000 members to the United Methodist Church in 1907.
The story of the division and gradual reunion of Methodism in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries raises interesting questions. For much of the twentieth century it has been axiomatic that denominational division is deplorable and that reunion is a good thing. Most of the Methodist divisions, however, occurred at times of growth and revival, and the reunions have coincided with catastrophic numerical decline! We may observe that boundless enthusiasm and zeal may make people intolerant of others, and there was certainly a feeling abroad in the 1830/40's that those who dissented from the party line (of either side) were obstructing the work of God. It is always likely that people at the centre of the church's organisation will have a different perspective from those in the localities, and it then becomes all too easy for a 'them' and 'us' mentality to develop: nineteenth century Reformers were sure that the Connexion was dominated by a ministerial clique which was self-serving and out of touch with 'real' Methodism, whereas the Connexional leadership, both lay and ordained, found the Reformers short-sighted, parochial, disloyal and sometimes plain spiteful. It is encouraging to note that through all the debates and divisions there was a strong sense of shared Methodist identity: somehow the 'DNA' came through, and this awareness of a Methodism greater than the particular denominations was one of the features inspiring the long quest for union, which began within a decade of the formation of the UMFC. Another salutary warning from history is that unions at national level took a very long time to have an impact on the grass roots of the Church. One argument for union was that it would remove competition between different Methodist churches in the same community enabling resources to be pooled for mission. The sad reality was that overlapping circuits continued for many years and rival chapels glowered at one another until forced to amalgamate by debt, death or dry rot. An intense loyalty to place, to 'our chapel' remains a reality for our circuit strategies, our mission and our ecumenical plans – one which we ignore at our peril.
As our year of Methodist anniversaries draws to its close, it is good to be reminded that there is more to the history and heritage of Methodism than the Wesleys – more even than the inspiring tradition of Primitive Methodism. United Methodism remains the Cinderella of historical scholarship, but it offers a rich quarry to be mined, enjoyed and used, and it raises pertinent questions for today.

How To Be a Judge
Senior judiciary
Bench pressing
By The Lawyer	 2 October 2000 01:00
Next month Lawrence Collins QC will, in the words of the Lord Chancellor, make "a little bit of history". The solicitor, a partner at Herbert Smith, will be the first to be appointed directly from private practice to the High Court Bench.
"The appointment marks another step in the diversification of the judiciary without any reduction in the first-rate ability of those who sit on the bench," claimed Lord Irvine. Collins will join Sir Michael Sachs, who was a recorder and circuit judge before becoming only the second solicitor to sit in the High Court.
"I can't think that is what Parliament had in mind – it's been 10 years since the Court and Legal Services Act," says Judge Harvey Crush, who was senior litigation partner at Norton Rosefor 21 years prior to becoming a circuit judge in 1995. The 1990 act puts solicitors on an equal footing with the bar, allowing them rights of audience before all the courts, eligibility for silk, and providing in theory a career path to the bench.
"I think that the judiciary doesn't draw from the widest pool of able people, and that doesn't mean just more solicitors. I don't think it draws from the most able barristers either," says the Judge Crush. The criticism is nothing new, and it has been only 12 months since the Sir Leonard Peach inquiry into the judicial appointments system prompted familiar – and impossible to contradict – assertions that judges were predominantly white, male and Oxbridge.
Solicitors were also quick to voice their own grievances. The Law Society argued that its members were "largely excluded" from the ranks of the higher judiciary, while dominating "lower status appointments". Outside of the High Court, only 13 per cent of circuit judges come from law firm backgrounds, whereas 94 per cent of all district judges are from private practice.
The then Law Society president Robert Sayer concluded that the selection process of "secret soundings" for judges and QCs was "pretty well doomed". He said: "It is so out of step with modern ideas that it's hard to see how it can survive into the next millennium." He announced that, from then on, the Law Society would not be taking part in the process.
Charles Elly, circuit judge and a former president of the Law Society, who sits at Reading, takes a more moderate line. "I wouldn't have withdrawn from the process because, although it may not have been regarded as perfect, at least it was a way of getting information about the candidates," he says.
And therein lies the problem: how do the judges get to know the solicitors when they never appear before them?
Clifford ChanceLondon and Asia litigation managing partner John Potts says: "Our judges mostly come up through the bar; they're addressed by people who come through the bar and they're used to a standardised system of advocacy." He believes that there will have to be more "infiltration" of the courts by solicitor-advocates before solicitors are considered for appointment to senior judicial positions.
So far there are only approximately 1,000 solicitors with higher rights of audience and only four solicitor-QCs. Mark Humphries, a partner at Linklaters& Alliance and the chairman of the Solicitors' Association of Higher Court Advocates, believes that the low number does not reflect a lack of enthusiasm – he sees it as a "purely regulatory" problem. With new regulations making it easier for solicitors to qualify coming into force next month, he believes that the number will treble during the next two years.
Humphries interprets the appointment of Lawrence Collins as a positive message to the profession. "It is another indication of the distinction between the old labels of solicitors and barristers becoming rather blurred," he says.
It is the Law Society's contention that there is too great an emphasis placed upon advocacy at the expense of other qualities solicitors could excel in. It is a view that has supporters among the judiciary.
"There's been more trouble on the bench from people who can't keep their mouths shut than from any other cause," Judge Crush says. He cites case management skills, knowledge of accountancy and years of experience of direct contact with commercial clients as assets that solicitors could bring to the job.
Potts of Clifford Chance believes that as solicitors penetrate the judiciary there will be a cultural shift away from traditional advocacy. He predicts that the judicial system will become "more document-based" and driven by briefs that will be written "thoroughly and properly in the US style". He also argues that solicitor-judges would bring "a little more commercial reality" to court judgments.
Eversheds' national head of litigation John Heaps argues that a greater representation of solicitors on the bench could help realise the aims of last year's reforms of the civil justice system by Lord Woolf. "Solicitors fundamentally can bring a real awareness of what the customer of the courts is really looking for," he says. "And those are the things that Woolf carried out his reforms for – speed, cost-effectiveness and sometimes a commercial solution that might be achieved through mediation."
Judge Martin McKenna, former litigation partner at Eversheds' Birmingham office, has been appointed directly from private practice to the circuit bench. He says that one of the reasons he now feels qualified for the job is the greater emphasis on judges "running" cases under the new civil procedure rules, and not just being "reactive". "I don't think that I'd have been particularly interested if I had to sit there listening to barristers droning on," he says. He adds that little emphasis was placed upon advocacy during his interview for the post.
While the circuit bench remains the preserve of the bar, there are only 23 barristers that sit as district judges out of more than 400. District Judge John Frenkel says that the civil justice system is bottom-heavy. "About 90 per cent of all final decisions in civil litigation are made by district judges," he says. He left private practice to become a full-time judge in 1983 and is presently the senior vice-president of the Association of District Judges.
He has no regrets leaving behind life in private practice. "Every day I do something different, and the variety of the work is the attraction of the job," he says, adding that his case load covers everything from family to insolvency and presiding over small-claim fast-track trials and case-managing larger claims.
But with so few solicitor-judges at circuit-level, is a career at the bench a professional cul-de-sac for solicitors? "There are no career prospects," Judge Frenkel says bluntly. "You're appointed to an office and that's it." He adds, though, that he would not do a different job.
An unprecedented appraisal system for deputy district judges will be introduced next year. According to Judge Frenkel, this represents a "significant development on the accountability of the judiciary". But he also points out that this will be a valuable information source for the judicial appointments board when deciding upon full-time positions. "If this was extended to recorders it would go a considerable way to meeting some of the Law Society's criticisms," he says.
Unsurprisingly, one considerable problem for the judiciary in attracting the best candidates from private practice is money. According to one district judge, if a solicitor is in private practice and he is 40 years old and worth his salt, he would be earning twice a district judge's salary.
Judge McKenna readily admits that he has taken a "massive" pay cut moving from being a commercial litigator to being a circuit judge. He believes that he will earn about one third of his Eversheds salary. So why make the career leap? "I felt a bit stale and wanted to get back to the law," he says. "In a big law firm you spend a lot of time managing people and client relationships."
Judge Crush says he opted for a judicial career partly because the hours were a "small fraction" of those for private practice, but also out of a sense of public duty. "I think it's important to serve your country and it's something useful you can do for a lot more people than your clients," he says. He adds, though, that life on the bench is not as challenging as in private practice. The workload might be far more wide-ranging, but it is "at a much lower level".
But Judge Elly regards it as a wonderful opportunity for a radical career change. He says: "When you have been a partner for 35 years in the same firm, and then an opportunity arises to make a change and give you new opportunities, you're very fortunate. Most people don't get that chance."
Richard Hastings, group legal counsel at Interoute Telecommunications (UK) Richard Hastings left Hammond Suddards, where he was an IT/IP assistant, to take up his role as group legal counsel at European telecommunications company Interoute. Hastings made the move because he sought a more commercial role within his area of expertise. He says: "I love my […]

Mireille Enos on 'The Killing' Backlash
By Erin Konrad	 April 5, 2012 No Comments
Mireille Enos, star of AMC's The Killing, received her share of the backlash from viewers who thought the main mystery of the show should have been wrapped up in season one. In an interview with Vulture, Enos said, "I feel bad if anyone felt misled. I think the thing that is amazing about the show is the character development, and it seemed clear that if you love these characters, you would want to spend more time with them. So it was a little confusing to me that so much focus at the end was put on having an answer instead of the development of the story."
It's true that viewers wanted to know who killed Rosie Larsen, but steadfast fans are willing to wait around for the answer that will most likely come in season two (which began airing on April 1.).
While the role of Detective Sarah Linden is a draining one, there's also a physical component as well. Enos said, "Actually, it's true that days where I'm shooting scenes where I chew gum, my jaw gets so tight. It's crazy. I don't know how people chew gum all day long. It's mostly in the script, and then occasionally I ask for it."
Enos will also be hitting the big screen in films World War Z and Gangster Squad. She finds film roles "challenging in other ways. Every role that you play comes with its own set of challenges. World War Z is an action movie. It's more than that, but a lot of it is action, so the challenge there was how to keep these people grounded in truth and dealing with the real circumstances instead of just running down the street. And in Gangster Squad, you're telling the story of real people. My character is pregnant in this film and the real person who was that baby came to the set. So that's a challenge, trying to honor those people."
Viewers can see Enos on The Killing on Sunday nights on AMC.

Why should we take care of the children's diet?
Children who do not eat, Children who eat too much, children who hide when they see anything green on the plate, others who only stuff themselves with sweets … What father has not felt desperate with feeding their children?
And it is that, although always the example of the true increase of the obesity epidemic is set , and how this is becoming a serious problem among the smallest, the reality is that it is not necessary to go to these extremes to see the effects negative of a bad diet in the child. Experts point out that there is no doubt about the benefits of eating properly, and more among the little ones, however, sometimes parents forget that responsibility and adopt bad habits that in the long run impact little by little on the boy.
Obesity and overweight can lead to health problems as serious as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases , diabetes , hypertension and even some types of cancer . Therefore, a correct diet since childhood is crucial to protect us from these ailments.
According to the 5th Study carried out by CinfaSalud , Perception and health habits of Spanish families on infant nutrition , 19 percent of Spanish minors currently suffer from obesity, while 26 percent suffer from overweight. Despite the magnitude of these figures, many parents are still not aware of the need for children to improve their nutritional habits, which are increasingly farther from the Mediterranean diet .
The study reveals that the perception of parents and mothers surveyed in relation to the weight of their children does not correspond to reality, and that is that 13 percent of them are not aware that their child is overweight or obese. That is to say, 64.6 percent of parents think that their children have a normal weight for their age and height.
In this sense, 43 percent of the fathers and mothers who declare that the weight of their sons and daughters is not adequate do not take any steps to solve the problem . In contrast, 40.3 percent goes to the pediatrician or family doctor and 3.9 percent goes to a nutritionist.
As the years go by, the first meal of the day remains a challenge, or rather the Achilles heel of the Spanish diet , and of course, the children too. Eight out of ten Spanish children do not eat breakfast correctly, despite how González remembers "this is the first drink of the day, which provides the child with the energy necessary to face the first part of the morning and contributes to school performance , which should cover at least 20-25 percent of the nutritional needs of children. If these do not eat well and completely, productivity in class is lower and, in addition, increases the risk of obesity.
To prevent this from happening, families must organize themselves in order to allow the little ones to have a balanced breakfast . This, according to the expert, must include at least one dairy (milk, yogurt, cheese …); bread on toast, cereals, cookies, muffins or homemade cakes; a fruit or juice; jams or honey; a complement fat such as olive oil; and, occasionally, ham or some cold cuts. "For lunch, we recommend a piece of fruit, a yogurt or a sandwich of cheese or cold cuts and nuts," says González.
The food must provide the child 30 percent of their nutritional needs , so it is appropriate that "both parents and school canteens are involved in designing healthy and balanced menus , capable of meeting the food requirements and the children's tastes ", explains the specialist. The main courses must alternate vegetables, pulses, rice and soups, as well as meats and fish, and the dessert should normally be a fruit or a dairy.
The research reveals that 51 percent of school children consume meat between four and seven times a week, that is, much more than what experts recommend . In addition, only one in five children takes fish as often as recommended.
The snack should not be excessive, as it should provide the child with 15 percent of their dietary needs. This meal helps to avoid unnecessary snacks between meals and prevents children from reaching the last meal with excessive hunger.
And the dinner must provide the child with 30 percent of the nutrients and energy it needs, and it will be decided based on the food already taken at noon. "For this meal, purees, soup or salads are recommended, and, as a complement, meats, eggs and fish," says González.
A fact that worries the experts is that 74.5 percent of Spanish children eat trinkets once a week , and 82 percent consume fast food at least once a month.
Education is the basis of proper nutrition, for this reason the family plays a key role in promoting healthy habits and to ensure that the child follows a balanced diet.
To achieve them, the behavior of the different members of the family has to be coherent, organizing meals through schedules and some meals to be carried out with the children , since only 37.3 percent of the parents eat habitually with their children. sons and daughters.
Recover the Mediterranean diet : the Spanish diet of all life includes all the nutrients that the child needs for proper growth. In addition, water should always be your source of hydration.
Make sure they eat five times a day : there must be a distribution of calorie intake .
Guided by the food pyramid : very useful instrument to know the food rations and the frequency with which they should be taken.
Avoid foods that fatten and do not feed : the consumption of fried foods, pastries, sweets and snacks should be an exception, as they contain excessive sugars, saturated fats and salt, in addition to not providing micronutrients. The same goes for fast food.
Eat as a family : organize the schedules so you can eat together at least once a day.
Leaving aside the mobile and the television at the table : the attention of children and parents should focus on the food and those who sit down at the table. The technological devices interrupt or cancel the family conversation.
Take the children to the purchase : ask them for help in preparing the list and, once in the supermarket, they will take care of a part.
Prepare food in different ways and also cook : alternating roasts, boiled, grilled, stewed or even raw in gazpachos and salads will ensure that the food becomes a varied and stimulating habit. Teaching them some simple or fun culinary techniques and asking them to help decorate the dishes can also help to encourage good nutrition.
Put them in motion : exercise and reduce the hours they spend in front of television and video games.
Ensure that they sleep more than ten hours : children between 6 and 12 years should sleep more than ten hours a day, as it is a weapon also to combat overweight.

I would like to have her books. Pls. let me know how to proceed.
I am selling Life's Parade on Ebay.
I would like to purchase Louse Gerard's book. Please let me have details how to proceed.
One book appears to be missing Jungle Love published 1924.
Um, I have Louise Gerard's The Witch Child… Fourth Edition, and this book is not even on this list… Someone help me out?
I have one of her books entitled "Life's Parade" (published in 1931) that is not listed here either. I am selling it on Ebay if anyone is interested. As far as I know, nobody else is selling it. I haven't been able to find out anything else about it other than on this site.
I read Sultant's slave (So many pages were missing). (I gave it to a friend because I wanted her to read it never returned). After that I am searching for her books. Do you know a place where I can get these books. I am from Sri Lanka.
Ok… interesting. I picked up "A Strange Young Man" in an antique store, and, having almost finished reading it and quite enjoying it [the storyline being very much different than your nutshell version], I wanted to look it up, see if many other people had read it. This is one of the very few sights I've been able to find having anything to do with Louise Gerard….
Well, if anyone actually reads this comment, check out "A Strange Young Man," because it's quite good.
Is there any interest in The Mystery of Golden Lotus…. I have found one copy in my bookshelves..

This text was commissioned by James Batchelor and Collaborators to work alongside Hyperspace. The text is a 3 part rumination on strategies of touch within the performance Hyperspace. The text stems from ongoing conversations that James and I have had over the past years. It is indebted to the brilliant feminist philosophers and writers through whose ideas my body and world are rendered altogether different.
This 3 part text is an experiment with narrative. It's a poem, a letter, an essay. These texts take the hand, the eye and the world as protagonists to expand on ideas of touch and a choreography of relation. They question situation, territory and edges through the lens of choreography and performance. To imagine new possible orientations to ourselves and others.
There is an infinity of touch in each encounter, as two surfaces approach a field opens between them, the contact at minimum is two and unfolds endless potential points. The hands are skilful sensitive creatures who mediate our utility with others of all kinds. Their surfaces produce a complicated map, skin wrapping and folding. They offer an articulate approach to touch. With twenty-seven delicate bones they extend, fold, and twist, providing an intelligence that keeps my pen in pace with my thinking.
But, the hand's gestural capacity far exceeds its utility. It is possible to think the hand as a metaphor for craftsmxnship and the presence of the author. The hands, when reconciled with the body they attach to, can sign a world by their expressive contact. But what happens when they move of their own accord, navigating a world not on behalf of a body but as their own muscular pentapedal forms?
The hands have an immediacy with otherness, to touch is to make contact with an outside. In touch there is an undeniable multiplying of self: between two hands the touched and touching. "When two hands touch there is a sensuality of the flesh[…] a feeling of pressure or presence, a proximity of otherness that brings the other nearly as close as ones self."3 In this apparently simple encounter the body resists itself. We are dispersed into the plurality of the I and the alterity that composes it.
With eyes closed bring your two hands into contact, place yourself in one hand, identify with it and let the You of the second hand slowly disappear. What is it you are holding? Afterwards place the hand, no longer felt as You, on your face. Let the face feel the surface of the hand, the landscape of skin enclosed flesh. Press your face into the surface of the hand and feel its elastic resistance of your own flesh.
Could we imagine a hand, no longer as a hand, but as a winding folding surface, a landscape of peaks, valleys and fields? As our sense of scale shifts units of the body dissolve, through sensuality, into their fleshy composition. Once hand, now elastic terrain. Heat, texture and porosity are the nature of this touch. The hands become agents of their own exploration. Where skin is a landscape that through touch we can come to know again. A map of body, as body, made one to one with its terrain.
We begin from situation.5 From the understanding that it is necessary that here includes a body, a self and the complex articulations of such a self in a world. From this situation we enter intosituation: 6 the eye/x7, an oblique slash to at once bring together and separate.8 The eye/x is imagined here as intra-active9, both a position and a perspective, a co-constituted agency.
The eye/x is often the metaphor and even mechanism of perspective. It is a position from where we look out upon the world and look upon our own body. The eye/x with its new incision (the slash) produces a crack in order to imagine a possible reorientation towards another kind of perspective. To think I have only seen myself through my own eye/x is at once true and unbelievable. The eye/x brings forth the conditions for otherness and the unknown. It holds an alterity that makes it possible to feel the eye itself: the eye/x, our interior otherness.
The eye/x in hyperspace is in exploration, a venture out and into. The eye/x cannot compose a world without its wondrously fleshy innervated positioning. There has, for a while now, been an understanding of such situated-ness. The fiction of objectivity has been unveiled.10 In this strange topology the eye/x moves between receiving and producing perspective. They reach out, sight touching world and what is seen enters the body as if to let the world look back. The eyes orient toward an outside and let that outside come pouring back in. It is this doubling of the gaze that necessitates the slash of the eye/x, a proximity without assimilation. The eye/x performs as both subject and object of study.
The eyes move attentively with an indifference to what is seen that suggests another register of recognition. The eyes move for sensation, brushing across the light, their sight does not capture what they know; another body, a wall, a floor, chairs, nor flecks of dust. Rather, the eyes wander persistently across the terrain of materials, colours and textures. They are interested in another scale, one that slips off the edges of inside and outside, this and that, to compose and print in the eye/x a world as yet unknown.
I stop writing and look at myself, looking at the eyes in a mirror, I close them and roll the balls backward, still feeling my own reflection. I imagine my eyes in reserve, lines of light sending pulsing images of my own deep interior, utterly unrecognisable as self, the eye/x. They open again, I stare at the glassy surface and tiny red veins, looking at and with there is something a little irreconcilable, I leave the reflection.
I begin in laughter, stumped by my choice to write with the world as protagonist. I inhale, filling my body to the size it must have been when it thought this was a good idea. I persist. To write as the world asks for a perspective of extreme alterity, it asks for a narration whose voice speaks from outside, as that. I write in naivety and with fiction, trying to understand my body as unbound.
I must admit I do not know what a body is from the perspective of the world. This is, I guess, the condition of writing in alterity. However from naivety I posit: It could be that from the perspective of the world the body is not bound up as one, the world might not recognize what we recognize as a body. And what can we learn about our bodies from a world who might not recognise us as such?
I will begin with the shadow, an imprint or trace of a body printed on the world by an absence of light. The shadow doubles the body it corresponds to, its edge gives a precise shape to what we could call the body. It is at this border of what is and what is apparently not our body, that we can begin to quiver and question. It is in these edges, seen sharply in the shadow, that we can find a sensibility for alterity. We can begin to touch an otherness, for a moment suspending the border, in order to open the line that separates into a field.
I want to imagine an ecotone between a body and the world as if their distinction could just be a difference of environment. An ecotone is a liminal zone between two ecosystems, it is the transitional space where different environments meet.13 I imagine a wet zone and dry zone transitioning somewhere around the layer of our skin. An intermediary space opens for "all the ways a world could meet a body."14 We can take this encounter as a dance, a movement to meet the body via its world. And how would we do such a dance?15 This dance happens regardless of our trying to do it. It is the dance our bodies do in order to be in the world in each moment. It is a particular sensitivity and attention made available in the time of the theatre that can make visible this dance.
In the space of the theatre the world can be anything. It can be temporary and minute, severed off from what comes before or after, or it could be a world so vastly distributed that the theatre dissolves into its own fiction. This world however, the world of undifferentiated sensuality is precisely here. As touch is the means for relation, this world is an event. A situation that appears in the time of attentive intra-action. Following the composition of the body/world ecotone— through smelling, hearing, gazing, touching— the infinitesimally small become agents of much surprise. In this space we can disappear as vastly into a body as we could into the world.

5 Haraway, Donna. "Situated Knowledges: The Science Question in Feminism and the Privilege of Partial Perspective." Feminist Studies 14, no. 3 (1988): 575. In this essay Haraway brings forth the notion of context and conditionality in research. Challenging the esteemed objectivity of the sciences as "an external, disembodied point of view." Situated knowledges argues for a form of knowledge production where perspective is brought forth as a way to meet difference.
6 The word situation performs as both as event (a set of circumstances) and a position (a location or surrounding). Thus this sentence can be read: from position we enter into event… and… from event we enter into positioning.
7 The eye/x came about through conversations with Sven Dehens: an artist, writer and curator. The eye/x was a poetic provocation he made to my initial formulation of eye/I. The x was an exciting object with which to produce a juncture. The x is an internal otherness. In its presence we find a cipher, a point, a plurality and an intersection.
8 The slash is a literary form found in many feminist texts, used to complicate a pronoun or subvert a verb. The slash has been used by Luce Irigaray in I love to you for the subjects I/you and by Monique Wittig in The Lesbian Body for similar purposes. Karen Barad also uses the slash for un/doing and in/determinacy amongst other variations in her essay On touch: the inhuman that therefore I am. I am borrowing this performative incision here to undo the consolidation of a subject.

15 This question is a rephrasing of a question that came up in a skype conversation between James Batchelor and myself. James told me he often receives the question "but how do you do that with dance?" when talking through the concept and research of his work. I thought it was a great question. Why dance? Or why choreography? This question makes us articulate a concept through practice, and it makes visible the intelligences and discursive strategies to be found within choreography and the body. The question "How is this" rather than "what is this?" opens another conversation.

Podcasts are part of the user-generated content phenomenon that many are now familiar with. Geoghegan and Klass (2007), in their comprehensive book on this media format, describe podcasting as an exciting and disruptive technology that became widespread in 2005. Together with more recent technologies, such as Twitter, Nings, and Facebook, educators now have at their disposal a suite of tools to engage students in their learning. The challenge is harnessing this potential. In this article, we will introduce how podcasting is used at our university as a way to motivate students, to increase L2 proficiency,and to help student learning go beyond the classroom.
Podcasts are audio files uploaded to an internet server that uses RSS feeds to turn them into automatically downloadable and subscribable resources. Still now,too many people believe that podcasts are simply audio files from the Internet to be used as listening exercises. Whilst this is partially correct, it misses one of the main benefits of podcasting: the fact that the students themselves can generate the content. Students have control over the planning, recording, editing,and final publication of the audio. They also "own"the website where the audio is published and can post blogs and photos to support their audio files. Podcasting, therefore, becomes a completely student-centered language learning process.
Podcasts and podcasting offer learners opportunities to improve their language skills, particularly listening, pronunciation, and the accuracy of their written work. Moreover, the process of creating the content is a vehicle for exploring, expressing, and sharing their opinions with a potentially worldwide audience. These factors make podcasts appealing to language teachers, especially as they are easy to create, only require easily accessible technologies and resources, and provide an automatic basis for a digital portfolio of students' work.
Put simply, you need a computer, a microphone, Internet access, and something to say. In our class, students use Macintosh laptops with free Garageband software for recording and editing audio, with additional portable digital microphones (M-Audio MicroTracks) for interviews and out-of-class recording. Most computers are now equipped with an internal mic, and mobile phones are increasingly able to record good quality audio, too. Our students also have access to a computer room with Windows-basedmachines—mainly used for researching on the Internet and preparing scripts with Word. If only Windows-based computers are available, then the freely downloadable open source Audacity (Dannenberg et al., 2010) can be used for editing audio. The students upload their podcasts and work to a website that we set up, separate from the university's system. It was debated whether this should be password protected or not, but we decided that students were mature enough to have their work published on the Internet openly. However, students were told not to give their full names and private details in their posts and podcasts. While the website used has a small hosting fee of approximately ¥800 per month, free options such as Blogger are also available for hosting students' podcasts.
Our elective class, based around creating and publishing podcasts, has been running for four semesters. Class sizes have ranged from 10 to 25 students and the students' English proficiency levels have been mixed,from beginner to high intermediate. The class runs for 15 weeks with two 90-minute back-to-back classes each week. In class, students work on a variety of tasks, mainly in groups and pairs, but sometimes individually, with the aim of encouraging expression and communication between the students and sharing opinions with their family, friends,and the wider Internet community.
There is much flexibility in the types of tasks students can be asked to do. However, starting with relatively non-challenging goals allows all students to get up to speed with using the technology. A recorded self-introduction allows students to get to know the microphones and Garageband before moving into more cognitively-challenging topics such as "I believe...", and "What is happiness?" As students gain confidence we begin focusing on the content. Towards the second half of the course, students are required to make a "full" podcast including introductions, a feature report, and comment and reactions,along with their own choice of music, stingers,and interviews.
Feedback collected through an online survey at the end of each semester has been overwhelmingly positive.
The results indicate that the overwhelming majority of students (95%) valued the class and the challenge of making podcasts as they felt it improved their English proficiency.
85% of students said that the focus on pronunciation when recording the podcasts helped them improve their English.
The students' awareness of podcasts as a listening resource for English learning was increased, with the number of students using English podcasts a little or a lot rising from 25% to 65%.
Podcasting has changed the way teachers interact with students in the classroom.
No longer is the front of the room the focus of attention;ratherthe teacher acts as an assistant to the show that the students are producing.
Students are able to review their own work throughout the process and can re-record as often as they wish.
Students also have access to all the work that other class members have produced.
Using portable microphones introduced students to English outside of the classroom.
Podcasting is being used by universities worldwide in many different and creative ways. An online search will provide a growing wealth of materials and ideas for teachers. Although major media corporations, such as the BBC and the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), are making material for language learning available online, where podcasting will go in EFL really depends on instructors and students as creators of their own media.
