Sat Dec 5th 10 miles We held the club dinner on Thursday night; it was very successful. Today I did the usual things for a Saturday morning and received my start sheet for tomorrow's Touring competition.
Sun Dec 6th 53 miles Touring Competition Met the club at 9.00 a.m. and proceeded to the start of the Touring competition at Colin Turner's house at West Hyde. The event went very well – but we do not know who won yet! I went slightly off course, lost marks on the brake test and also for the first question, although I knew all the other answers. We had a drink and then came home for a late lunch. A very enjoyable day.
Mon Dec 7th 10 miles Up to the club. I played snooker and collected dinner bookings for Sunday's run to Nettlebed. Apparently I came second in yesterday's Touring competition behind Alan.
Fri Dec 11th 3 miles Held a sub-committee meeting at Alan's to prepare next year's racing programme.
Sat Dec 12th 12 miles Up to Northwood Hills in the morning, but stayed in for the afternoon.
Sun Dec 13th 78 miles We left Northwood Hills at about 9.30 a.m., out through Rickmansworth and Chorleywood to Fred's café at Amersham for elevenses. We then continued on through High Wycombe, Freith, Fingest and Turville to Nettlebed for dinner. Albert joined us here and we then came home via Henley and Marlow (tea) and down the Oxford road. Another enjoyable day, although the weather was dull and rather wet at times.
Mon Dec 14th 10 miles Club night. I played Ken Dopson at snooker and took bookings for Sunday.
Wed Dec 16th to Sat 19th I started temporary work at the post office, delivering Christmas mail. Hard work, but not too bad except for the very early starts. Did not go out on Sunday.
Mon Dec 21st 28 miles It rained slightly today when I was delivering mail, but it was not too heavy. Went up to the club rooms in the evening. I lost snooker to Boff Empson but beat Brian Major. We are holding a 'Hobo' run on Sunday.
Tues Dec 22nd to Fri 25th Continued with the Christmas post. Met the club for a few pints on Christmas Eve; got a bit worse for wear – which made it a bit hard delivery mail early on Christmas morning!
Sat Dec 26th Out with the boys again for some more Christmas 'cheer' and put the mistletoe to good use. Alan Stratman was true to form; he got a date with one of the barmaids at the Bell!
Sun Dec 27th 33 miles The 'Hobo' run The club met outside Gordon Prangley's shop at Northwood Hills all dressed up and with decorated bikes for the 'Hobo' run to Stacey's café at Chalfont. We met the Rickmansworth boys at the café, consumed more beer and wine. The Northwood Wheelers beat the Ricky at cribbage and shove-ha'penny. Brian Proctor (alias 'Giles') and Paul ('two-head') Stratman had the best hobo costumes [see photographs]. We came home for tea and then had a party round at Roger's house in the evening. Have had a very jolly week – and earned £7/13/- at the post office and consumed far too much of the old club cake and spirit. Everybody thought that we were quite mad today!
Mon Dec 28th 16 miles I went up to Gordon's in the morning to collect my new Ephgrave and a few accessories bought with my post office money. I spent much of the day building up the bike – it looks super. I finished at about 5.30 p.m. and then got ready to go up to the club rooms. I lost snooker to Boff Empson. Made arrangements with Colin Turner for the map-reading contest on Sunday, starting off at his house at West Hyde.
Tues Dec 29th 5 miles A miserable day, cold with drizzle at times. I went round to see Paul Stratman and gave his mother the 2/6d I owed him. I had a 'go' on the rollers: I can still ride them! I found both of my tyres flat this morning. The front had burst so I had to renew it, but the back tyre stays up for about 12 hours. It is a brand new inner tube, bought on Monday, so it probably has a faulty valve. We went to the pictures in the evening.
Wed Dec 30th It rained all day and stayed very cold. I went to Tring with my father, and seem to have a cold coming on.
Thurs Dec 31st 31 miles The last day of the year! I started my good intentions early by going training in the evening along through Stanmore and then the Watford by-pass and home via Watford and Northwood. A very cold night.

Q: How to make an indexedMap function for a Grid (2d List) type? There's an indexedMap function for the provided List type: ( http://package.elm-lang.org/packages/elm-lang/core/2.0.0/List#indexedMap )
indexedMap : (Int -> a -> b) -> List a -> List b
Same as map but the function is also applied to the index of each element (starting at zero).

indexedMap (,) ["Tom","Sue","Bob"] == [ (0,"Tom"), (1,"Sue"), (2,"Bob") ]

I made a Grid type with a definition of type alias Grid a = List (List a)
I want to make a similar indexedMap function for this Grid type with a signature of indexedMap : ((Int, Int) -> a -> b) -> Grid a -> Grid b, but I'm note sure how to do it.

A: You have to use List.indexedMap twice:
indexedMap f grid =
  List.indexedMap
    (\outer list -> List.indexedMap (\inner item -> f (outer,inner) item) list)
    grid

The first List.indexedMap handles the "outer list" and the second List.indexedMap the "inner lists", where outer and inner refer to the indices within those two lists, respectively.
If you prefer a more point-free style, you can also use
indexedMap f =
  List.indexedMap
    (\outer -> List.indexedMap (\inner -> f (outer,inner)))

Speak to us for secure electric garage doors. Many people perceive automatic doors on a garage to be strictly for high-end homes. However, once the benefits of ease of use, security and safety are explained customers soon realise automation is actually an affordable option.
Easy to use: The door is opened/closed by pressing a button on a hand-held remote control unit. A few automatic garage door systems will allow you to operate the garage door from 100 meters away. Additional accessories are often added to allow operation by a wall mounted button.
Convenience: The thought of never having to lift your garage door again must fill you with comfort! You no longer ned to get out the car in the snow, ice, rain or dark. Push the button and the door opens for you!
Security: Have you ever closed the garage door and not remember if you locked it? Then had to fumble for the keys in the dark just to check? No more! Once your garage door is closed, it is locked and can only be opened by your remote control.
Safety: Never worry about the force of your garage door closing. If the door is closing but obstructed it will automatically stop until the obstruction is moved. The sensitivity of the obstruction detection can be adjusted to suit your needs. As an added bonus, the opener can be fitted with a light so that you will never trip in your dark garage.

The average person in the North-east is more obsessed with their mortgage than their appearance, according to new research.
Twice as many householders prefer to take up to ten years off their mortgage than off their appearance.
According to First Direct, a division of HSBC Bank, despite the popularity of television shows such as 10 Years Younger, Nip Tuck, Extreme Makeover and Celebrity Surgery, the figure people want to improve most is their household's bottom line.
Nationally, people of all ages would rather airbrush away their mortgage than signs of ageing, with men only marginally keener than women to take years off their mortgage.
But homeowners in the North-east are divided on how to achieve this.
One in three have no idea how to cut their mortgage term while the same number would save up and pay off a lump sum.
And while a canny third would remortgage to a better deal only 8pc would economise to enable them to afford higher monthly repayments, and less than 5pc realise that offsetting could take years off the mortgage.
Richard Kimber, First Direct's chief executive, says: "It's remarkable that so many more people would rather be mortgage-free than wrinkle-free. But it's unlikely to happen if they don't know what action to take.
"However, major surgery isn't needed to bring mortgage-free living closer - just a nip and tuck, plumping up the value of savings with an offset mortgage.
"A homeowner's savings and current account balances are worth the same rate of interest as their home loan, and are used to reduce the interest paid on it."
With the average home loan in 2004 at £82,000, according to the Council of Mortgage Lenders, and the average savings and current account balances £5,000 respectively, Mr Kimber says: "Simply holding these balances in accounts linked to an offset mortgage will reduce the term of a 25-year mortgage by nearly three years, saving interest of £16,676."
* AN insolvency specialist has called for curbs on self-certified mortgages which allow homebuyers to take out mortgages far bigger than they can afford to repay.
Nearly a third of home loans are now given out without borrowers having to provide proof of earnings. But Bev Budsworth, principal of The Debt Advisor, says unchecked lending is helping to push up property prices and consumer debt levels.
Bev, whose company helps people find solutions to debt problems, says many clients ran into difficulties after taking out a self-certified mortgage.
She says: "Mortgage repayments should never exceed 30pc of income but for many of these people it's 40pc or more."

When Professor Andrew Smith looks at his favorite study animal, he sees more than a cute furry mammal. To him the Plateau Pika has helped to explain the importance of even the smallest animals and their impact on the plants and animals that live in their communities.
Plateau Pikas are one of the 30 species of pika worldwide. All 30 species of pika are similar in appearance. They look like round balls of fluff about 6 inches long with prominent round ears and a small tail hidden under their fur. Plateau Pikas live on the mountain plateaus in China, 11,000-14,000 feet above sea level.
Dr. Smith is a conservation biologist at ASU, and much of his effort is concentrated on studying Plateau Pikas on the high Tibetan plateau grasslands in central China. His work in China is helping to save a keystone species.
What's a Keystone Species?
What is a keystone species and why are they special? A keystone species is critical for the survival of other species in its community. If a keystone species is driven to extinction it is likely that other species will also disappear. Many animals depend on these keystone species for food, or other benefits that aid in their survival.
Misunderstood animals
Pikas have been considered by some in China to be pests. There have been widespread attempts to wipe out the pika population through poisoning programs. But Dr. Smith's research revealed that there is something unique about the way pikas interact with the other species in their environment.
Importance of Pikas
Pikas dig burrows in the high alpine meadows where they live. These burrows provide protection from predators, a place to raise young, and shelter from the cold. High on these meadows there are no trees and very little shelter of any kind. Pika burrows become important to other animals. Most of the birds that live in this area use pika burrows for nests. Without them the birds would have no safe places to roost or raise young. Pikas also are the primary food source for birds of prey and carnivorous mammals such as weasels, foxes, wolves, and bears. If the pikas disappear, these animals will lose a valuable food source that they depend on for survival.

These are some of the factors that led Dr. Smith to claim that the pika is a keystone species. Dr. Smith's research has been important in helping scientific organizations in China to realize the value of the pikas to their ecosystem. Dr. Smith's research is one example of how scientists can make a difference and help protect species that may be in danger.
He works closely with the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN). One of the primary goals of IUCN is to keep an inventory of the status of plant and animal species that may be in danger of extinction, now or in the future. This inventory is known as the "Red List."
Scientists around the world work with IUCN to build and maintain the Red List. As they study a species, they check the status of several important factors.
How do species get on the Red List? Here are some of the questions scientists are asking when evaluating a species.
What is the size of the population?
How fast is it declining?
How big of an area does this species live in?
How has its habitat been affected?
When they have the answers to these and other questions, then the species is ready to be "Red-listed". It is placed into one of nine categories on the Red List, depending on the present and future expected threat to the species.
IUCN relies upon scientists like Dr. Smith to provide the organization with valuable data and recommendations. This close working relationship between IUCN and scientists allows the Red List to reflect the current status of species that may be in danger. Governments and environmental organizations around the world can use the Red List to help them make decisions about conservation priorities and habitat protection. The overall goal is to raise awareness and provide information that can help the global community to reduce species extinctions.
Additional Information on the Red List can be found at https://www.redlist.org/.

Shein Accepts Invitations to Six Media-Sponsored Debates
Shein Campaign 09:02AM / Monday July 16, 2012
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Democratic Congressional candidate Bill Shein confirmed on Friday that he has accepted invitations from six media outlets across the new 1st Congressional District to debate the other candidates in the race, longtime 2nd District incumbent Rep. Richard Neal and the Berkshire Middle District Register of Deeds Andrea F. Nuciforo Jr.
Since March, he has agreed to the following events, all of which will take place during Congress' summer recess that begins on Saturday, Aug. 4:
1. New England Public Radio (NEPR): Live one-hour forum, week of Aug. 6
2. WGBY Public Television: Airing Monday, Aug. 20, 8 p.m.
3. Pittsfield Gazette (broadcast on local cable): Public forum at Berkshire Community College, Monday, Aug. 27, 7 p.m.
4. Westfield News: Public forum at Westfield State University, Tuesday, Aug. 28, 7 p.m.
5. WWLP/NBC22 TV: Live 30-minute debate, week of Aug. 27
6. WBEC/WSBS/WNAW radio (covers all of Berkshire County): Live 60-minute debate in mid/late August TBD
Shein issued the following statement:
"Restoring a robust, healthy democracy that ensures the people's priorities set the agenda in Washington requires substantive, independent, in-depth press coverage. These media-sponsored debates and forums, some of which will include a live audience, will help provide that to voters across the new First District.
"I strongly believe that ideas, and candidates, should sink or swim on the merits, not on how much money is behind them. For decades, public policy in the United States has been undermined and distorted by billions of dollars in campaign contributions and lobbying by status-quo corporate and wealthy interests. Today, that money drowns out the voices and ideas we need more than ever, and puts an extra burden on the media to properly inform the public about candidates and issues.
"This is a fine example of local journalism playing its vital and necessary role in our democracy. I fully expect the other candidates to join me at all six of these media-sponsored events – conveniently scheduled during Congress' monthlong summer recess – for a discussion of the full range of domestic and foreign-policy issues."

Do you feel a fraud by your achievements? that you somehow you are not worthy of the work that you have achieved? Well, this phenomenon is called Impostor syndrome and it is very common indeed. But how do you deal with this? well, let me give you some ways to help deal with imposter syndrome below.
Like everything I guess the starter point would be to acknowledge how you are feeling and that these feelings are a result of Impostor Syndrome. Awareness is a valuable skill in recognising the way you respond to your achievements, so the first step in dealing with Impostor Syndrome.
Being open and upfront about how you feel towards your achievements with others can be valuable because you can connect with other people who feel similar. You can also seek out help and knowledge from others who have experienced Impostor syndrome and how they have overcome the feelings that they once felt.
One way of facing Impostor Syndrome is accepting the achievements you have achieved and appreciate the work that you have put in. Challenge the thoughts even writing down the original thought and replacing it with a positive can help change that faulty thinking pattern.
With Impostor Syndrome comes low confidence in yourself and one of the worst things you can do is compare yourself to others. You need to let go of thinking why you couldn't reach the level of success that so and so has achieved. Acknowledging that your success is good enough, no one is perfect and you worked dame hard to get where you have reached. Let's face it we are all on our own journey.
One of the things that I have noticed through my own experience of Impostor Syndrome is that I downplay any positive praise that I receive. I instantly reply with a negative and the one way to help grow your confidence and kick Impostor Syndrome is to accept praise for what it is. You don't justify it but say thank you. You don't need to deny the feedback, own it, it is yours.
Mindfulness is a way to train your brain to appreciate the moment and not focus on what you do not have. It is kind of like focusing on the positives as it can be very easy to notice the negatives that have occurred.
Remember you have the power to choose what you want to listen to and take it on board. It is only relevant if you put that importance on to it. You can choose to take it or leave it, you are in control of your thoughts.
Get into the habit of praising yourself - be your own personal supporter, write down the positives. Be kind to yourself and allow yourself to feel good about your achievements. It is ok to feel good about the work you have achieved it doesn't make you big headed because at the end of the day you worked hard to achieve your success so why not celebrate it.

Campus Free Speech
College Administrator Asks Student To Remove 'Fuck Nazis' Sign Because It Isn't Inclusive
"I am asking that you or your roommate take the sign down so that all students can be a part of an inclusive residential experience."
Robby Soave | 12.26.2018 11:31 AM
A student at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst was asked to remove a "fuck Nazis" sign from her dorm window because it undermined the "inclusive residential experience," which should serve as a compelling reminder that sensitivity culture is slowly but surely morphing into an equally opportunity censor.
The student, Nicole Parsons, hung the sign in early December after an unknown person drew a swastika on a door, according to BuzzFeed News. Parsons thought the university wasn't doing enough to deter such behavior, and decided to take matters into her own hands.
A week later, Residence Director Eddie Papazoni emailed Parsons to ask if she wouldn't mind removing the sign.
"Though the sign is permitted under Freedom of Speech, I would also like to discuss the impact on the community that the sign has had," wrote Papazoni. "There are some in the community who have expressed that the sign should be taken down as it has created mixed emotions in the community on how to proceed, issues of inclusion, and the ability to be active members of their community."
The email concluded with an explicit request that the sign be taken down "so that all students can be part of an inclusive residential experience."
Parsons interpreted the remarks as a declaration that "the university cares more about the feelings of Nazis than the safety of their students," she said.
And yet there's nothing American universities today care more about than safety, broadly defined to include not just physical threats, but also potentially offensive signs, posters, costume party themes, and lecture topics. In this case, Parson's use of profanity appears to have been a bit too radical and edgy. Maybe it actually upset someone, or maybe it simply rubbed a campus bureaucrat the wrong way.
The administration clarified this in a subsequent statement, which took issue with Papazoni's "poorly worded email." No one should have told Parsons to take down the sign, a campus spokesperson explained, "however, we are sensitive to the use of profanity, which some could find inappropriate."
If anything, this incident highlights the coercive power of residence administrators, who are the campus busybodies most directly involved in students' lives, after all. Many universities have begun to reimagine the campus living space as a kind of classroom where students are taught to obey progressive social justice norms, especially those relating to language. I have repeatedly warned the left that souring on free speech—and trusting authority figures to enforce virtue as defined by progressives—is a game no one gets to win. Hypersensitive and risk-averse college administrators don't actually share their goals, and likely never will.

The great thing about being a libertarian is that we don't have to stick up for anti-fa, the fascists, or anyone else. We can just stand up for the principles of free speech, and laugh at the anti-fa/anti-free speech shitheads see their own "logic" used against them.
And it's important to laugh at the anti-fa/anti-free speech shitheads when their own "logic" is used against them because that's how people know that we are not sticking up for the anti-fa/anti-free speech shitheads. We're sticking up for the principles of free speech.
Fuck the fascists.
Fuck the anti-fa shitheads.
Fuck school administrators.
And fuck anybody and everybody who's ever tried to sell the principles of free speech short in the name of inclusiveness.

You're not a libertarian, you're the center of a Republican bukake summit.
Trump calls the first-amendment protected press the enemy of the people, and he's the president of the country, not a university. Well, he did have a university, but it was a fucking scam.
Deconstructed Potato
That seems like total non-sequitur in relation to Ken's post, which was a very good post. You're projecting your intense, knee jerk partisanship onto other posters again.
It refers to the context of Ken's constant defense of the Republican party and Trump. I would like to have a discussion about how you can be hypersensitive to the anti-free-speech activities of random college students while totally ignoring the president of the United States being the tip of the anti-speech propaganda sphere for a major political faction in the country.

I'm going to start using "tip of the sphere" in daily conversation.
Oh bingo, there's the stupid prejudices assumptions I describe below. You just assumed me sticking up for Ken's particular post in this issue somehow qualifies me as a fanatical Trump supporter. Please tell me how you have arrived at the conclusion that I am totally okay with Trump's position on freedom of the press?
I said Ken is a shameless party man and thus, in a way that is both tragic and hilarious, necessarily a Trump man, while claiming to be a libertarian.
If you hadn't noticed, perhaps my only function here is to remind people that the Republican party is not a libertarian institution. I didn't say anything about your beliefs.
"perhaps my only function here is to remind people that the Republican party is not a libertarian institution."
Literally everyone here knows that. You can go away now.
You really should try reading some of these people's posts.
You really should try to make your case with quotes if you have them.
Quote a single post that says "the Repiblican party is a libertarian institution." One will be fine.
Otherwise your post is meaningless.
Thank you for reminding us about shit that is already known, Captain Obvious. Ken and Potato may not be as vitriolic toward Trump as yourself, or me for that matter, but you at no point have earned anything in your statements to tell people what is or isn't libertarian. If you want to describe to us Marxian Statism we will surely listen, given your well established, documented, and elaborated protestations.
In other words, stick to what you're good at, bellowing about how unfair it is to be so wrong so much of the time.
I come to the table with individual liberty being my first principle. I get there with different government policy than you guys, but that's because I'm not a simpleton who needs extremely simple solutions to complex problems in order to feel like I've had a genuine thought. I'm no libertarian, but mostly because if I were I'd have to associate with a bunch of right-wing retards in libertarian clothing.
Name one Trump policy attacking the free press. Name one Reason commenter who argues for censuring the press.
Just because the press has first amendment protections doesn't mean it is immune to being called out on its bullshit, by both the president and the people on this forum.
"I come to the table with individual liberty being my first principle. I get there with different government policy…"
Captain Non-Sequitur is a better name for you…
Ride 'Em
Serious question: How do you get more individual liberty with government policy? Government intervention necessarily means less liberty or at best a static state of total liberty. And I do understand that for civil society to exist rules of behavior must exist otherwise no one is safe.
The most boring things in the Reason comments threads (scroll scroll scroll until I see the comments intended back over to the left again) are the trolling of Tony & Rev. Kirkland, and the replies to them.

"I have often been called a Nazi, and, although it is unfair, I don't let it bother me. I don't let it bother me for one simple reason. No one has ever had a fantasy about being tied to a bed and sexually ravished by someone dressed as a liberal."
/ P. J. O'Rourke
Well, no one has ever to admitted to it.
Some fetishes really are beyond confessing to anyone, maybe even by prisoners jailed for serious sexual crimes who don't want to ruin their chances for ever being paroled and instantly transferred to the nearest lunatic asylum for the criminally insane.
Public display of profane language like "fuck" in a dorm window would probably be objectionable at most colleges, and probably would always have been so. I wonder if she took out one or two letters, and made it say "f**k Nazis", if that would be OK.

Yes. It was pretty stupid to put this on public display. Also, I would have hoped anyone going to college could be just a tad more creative, but standards have declined.
I have to agree. The inclusiveness isn't towards followers of Hitler, it's to people who find it objectionable to look at profanity every time they walk down the hallway.
I wouldn't want my mother to visit my dorm and get that sort of impression.
an unknown person drew a swastika on a door
This is the terrifying reality of life under a literal white nationalist President. As the SPLC has thoroughly documented, Drumpf's election has emboldened hate groups, leading to a sharp increase in these disgusting acts. Predictably conservatives will pounce on the one or two examples of "hate crime hoaxes," but that's of course a distraction. The truth is colleges, and society in general, need to be doing more to combat right-wing extremism. Punishing a student for a "Fuck Nazis" sign is exactly the wrong approach.
NoVaNick
My guess is that it was one of your fellow travelers OBL who drew the swastika in order to "raise awareness" for a non-existent issue. Nazis on college campuses are extremely rare, and in Massachusetts even more so.
Rat on a train
It could have been a Buddhist.
please refer to response to Tony above.
Corey Trevor
I don't know. When I was in college we used to wander around the dorms drawing dicks on people's whiteboards on their doors. I could easily see drawing a swastika just for fun. Not every single expression of distasteful symbols is a bonafide hate crime.
Nobody back then would have attributed drawing dicks on people's whiteboards to Bill Clinton either. They probably just erased them and moved on with their lives without giving it a second thought.

I stopped listening when you got to "SPLC", in the absence of clearer indicators of parody.
Parsons interpreted the remarks as a declaration that "the university cares more about the feelings of Nazis than the safety of their students,"
It's far too easy to get in to college these days.
I'd speculate it's more about a revenue stream than a thought process or closely reasoned conclusions at least for the university. what goes on in the mind of Parsons et al is still a mystery.

$100 she or her group was the one that drew the swastika on her door. It's always that case.
Remember, SJWs always lie.
This…..soooooo this.
I wonder how ths would all have turned out if a student had spotted a hammer and sickle drawn on a door, and had put up a "Fuck Commies" sign in her dorm window in response.
DajjaI
In Hebrew school they would show us horror movies about the Holocaust and then say it begins when people draw swastikas on walls. So that's why we panic when we see one. But yeah, you could probably do a similar program for other symbols. Lots of possibilities here. I'll leave that to your imagination.
Echospinner
Really? Which Hebrew school was that, was it the one where you made the clay draidels?
Horror movies is an interesting phrase. Never heard Holocaust education described that way.
You should really pick a new screen name. This one is not very clever.
Holocaust education – isn't that where they terrify the kids with horror movies and then tell them this is why we must support Israel and criticize anyone who points out what we're doing?
We?
Or an all-encompassing 'FUCK COLLECTIVIST TOTALITARIANS'
That would hit too close to home for the college administrators.
Major new Drumpf scandal!
Daughters of late podiatrist say he diagnosed Donald Trump with bone spurs during Vietnam War as a 'favor'
With this bombshell revelation, and Drumpf's inexcusable retreat from Syria, it's clear the GOP has become the party that's weak on national security. Many of us realized this in 2016, which is part of the reason we voted for Hillary Clinton, the most qualified candidate ever, who has a strong record on foreign policy both in the US Senate and as Secretary of State. But at this point everyone should see what was clear to me years ago. If you want politicians who value military service and won't back down from fighting our enemies overseas so we don't fight them here, you need to vote Democrat.

Remember when John Kerry was smeared for the crime of actually fighting bravely in Vietnam when his opponent was AWOL at Camp Twinkle Toes?
It's not whether fighting in war is good or bad, it's the sheer nihilism. No principles whatsoever, just sheer will to power by whatever means necessary. The fact that it's a bunch of service-dodging scum sending other kids off to die is just icing on the shit cake.
In other words, the libertarian moment.
Unicorn Abattoir
The libertarian moment would probably not include compulsory military service.
Agammamon
No. No, I do not remember that.
Nor I.
.5 seconds of being in the same country where combat is occurring is not the same as fighting bravely, just sayin.
Gaear Grimsrud
Can't argue with you about sending other kids off to die but GW had volunteers for his meat grinder. That was not the case for LBJ's war. Dodging the draft, by whatever means, took some balls and independent thinking. Kerry did what he was told to do.
Tony, you never served so shut up and fuck you. Like you, I'm sur the story is bullshit.
Go drink your Drano.
I realize your a parody account and all, but…
A rich kid avoided the draft with a phony diagnosis? Why, this must be the first time someone has done something so nefarious!!
And while this used to be a scandal, suddenly it's OK for some (R)eason.
Is it? Has anybody actually said that here? Or are you just assuming things and massively oversimplifying this matter to make a cheap, partisan snide remark? I'd guess that most, if not all regular posters here would be opposed to compulsory military service, which makes one 50yo alleged draft-dodge fairly irrelevant except for the lowest common denominator moron cynics such ad yourself who value it as ammunition for a cheap partisan jab. I'm guessing you'll read this and your only takeaway will be that you've assumed I'm some kind of fanatical Trump enthusiast because that's as complex as it gets for you. You have absolutely no grasp of anything beyong partisanship and cheap, zeitgeisty snarks.
Forget it Jake, it's Chinatown Tony.
Aww, I'm zeitgeisty? How flattering.
I was decrying something specific. The total lack of principle of *certain* politicians when it comes to the subject of military service. How about I choose the topics of my own discussion?
Clearly no one in here votes on whether a candidate honorably served against his will in the armed forces or got some shady favor from Daddy to get out of it. It would be awfully nice to have this discussion outside of the primary context, however, which is that most of the people here spend all their time defending the guy whose personal Vietnam was dodging syphilis. Maybe I'm too jump on that point, but I wouldn't have anything to talk about if everyone instead talked about individual freedom.
"I was decrying something specific"
So was he. Your sad, tired, intellectually lazy posts that paint anyone who doesn't agree with you as an enemy.
Pepys the Cat
It would be awfully nice to have this discussion outside of the primary context, however
Then go somewhere else where everyone is happy with conscription. You can probably find people who reflexively despise Trump like you do there, and avoid difficult subjects like "why do I give a fuck if someone dodged something that should be illegal anyway."
Fair enough. I'm certainly not volunteering to go to bootcamp and then get shipped to a 3rd world shithole full of IEDs.
I'm against the draft as an apparent bludgeon to individual freedom, though the argument has been made that the volunteer army is more easily used as a pawn by politicians and ignored by the people who don't have family members in it. Then again, we lost a lot more soldiers under the draft than after it.
But it's not that Trump illegally dodged the draft with the help of his Daddy. It's that his party trashed Clinton for dodging it, suddenly became OK with Bush doing it while engaging in perhaps the most cynical political hatchet job in modern history with the Swift Boat thing, only to fall in line once again behind a draft dodger who is also the most terrible human being in the English speaking world. I'm sorry if I can't get over the stench of such hypocrisy. I really hate hypocrisy.
"It's that his party trashed Clinton for dodging it, suddenly became OK with Bush doing it while engaging in perhaps the most cynical political hatchet job in modern history "
So you're bitching about decade old shit.
Sounds right for you.
I really hate hypocrisy.
No, you hate that someone you wanted to run things got shot down for his actual behavior.
But no one here did the shooting. And you whining about it so long after the fact is pitiful.
Above you said
perhaps my only function here is to remind people that the Republican party is not a libertarian institution
But here you forget that completely
But it's not that Trump illegally dodged the draft with the help of his Daddy. It's that his party
Perhaps you should remind yourself that the Republican party is not a libertarian institution before you complain to libertarians about the behavior of Republicans.
Azathoth!!
Let's have a look at this–
But it's not that Trump illegally dodged the draft with the help of his Daddy.
He didn't. Well, not illegally.
It's that his party trashed Clinton for dodging it,
When it was Clinton getting ragged for doing it, Drumpf was a Dem. He was a Dem for most of the 00s as well. His kids couldn't vote for him in the primaries.
suddenly became OK with Bush doing it while engaging in perhaps the most cynical political hatchet job in modern history with the Swift Boat thing,
Bush was in the Air National Guard. He flew fighter jets. That's not 'avoiding it' And only idiots are still defending Kerry's mountain of lies about Vietnam.
only to fall in line once again behind a draft dodger who is also the most terrible human being in the English speaking world.
Obama didn't dodge the draft, he's too young.
I'm sorry if I can't get over the stench of such hypocrisy.
You can't get over it because you reek of it. You are the picture in the dictionary that's captioned 'hypocrite'. Even pretending to be offended by it adds to the stench you emanate.
And only idiots are still defending Kerry's mountain of lies about Vietnam.
It's truly disheartening how infection rightwing bullshit is. I thought you guys simply dropped a Karl Rove pile of horseshit from your repertoire one it served its cynical partisan purpose, but I forget that the whole reason it works is because you people are incorrigible idiots who can't seem to find Google with a map to Google.
. . . defending the guy whose personal Vietnam was dodging syphilis.
That's Bill Clinton, right? You're talking about Clinton now.
wreckinball
Tony is a partisan moron. So yes he used it as a partisan snide remark.
BIll Clinton is 'suddenly OK'?
Oh, and yes its OK. Its OK for Trump. It was OK for Bush. It was OK for Clinton. Its OK for all the President's who got 'college deferals' or 'bone spurs'. Its OK that those that didn't receive draft notices didn't sign up anyway. Its OK for all the Presidents and Presidential candidates that have ever dodged a draft or simply chose not to serve in the military.
Its literally OK for everyone who ever dodged the draft for whatever reason, in whatever country. Compulsory military service is slavery.
And, unlike you, libertarians don't support slavery even if its enslavement to the state.
Why would avoiding conscription be scandalous? And Trump is currently being pilloried for trying to end US involvement in a couple of wars. SOS Kerry had no problem with Obama's wars. Always suspected you were neocon Tony. Guess I was right.
Much as I dislike Trump I have to agree with that.
OK he dodged the draft. We knew that. The heel spur thing is kinda sleezy but we knew that as well.
He is trying to get the troops home out of these endless regional wars. Bravo.
I do not go with trying to discredit people for military service, what they did or did not do, or not.
I did note when Kerry was arriving in Vietnam was just around when my father was leaving. I do not want my children or grandchildren to live with that.
Yeah I am a Pollyanna concern troll right now. Fuck war.
We need a strong defense force, not the police of the world.
like Bill or Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders…combat veterans all?

I imagine her definition of 'Nazi" is pretty broad. In fact I'll go out on a limb and suggest that is very broad.
I'll go out further on the limb and suggest that if you called her a broad, she'd call you a Nazi.
That is pretty much where I was going…
That's the kind of thing I would expect a Nazi to say…
just how broad is she? 2 axe handles?
The kids are just riling each other up. It's great to see that they are using free speech to fight each other because censorship inevitably leads to violence. To be clear – a request to take down the sign is not censorship. I think everything here is going according to plan. Having said that, I find the sign offensive, not because I'm a Nazi, but because basically anyone who doesn't subscribe to her particular stripe of socialism is the enemy. So that would include me as a libertarian. But she probably expected a big fight and that she would be forced to take it down, leading to an escalation. This didn't happen so this actually weakens her cause. (They are trying to instigate censorship to use as a pretext to use the same against Nazis.) Anyway at the risk of being banned again by Reason, I would like to say thank you again Reason for supporting free speech.
She could be talking about the actual Nazis who occasionally march in streets and run their cars into crowds.
Maybe but I run into these types all the time on Twitter, and if you dissent one degree from their orthodoxy they immediately block you. (Which yes makes it very hard to follow them.) So sure she could be a white elephant. Or better yet.
Which, to you, somehow represent 50% of the population because you happily swallow all of the cynical, grossly exaggerated propaganda from the SPLC and outright lies from such idiots as Occupy Democrats?
Yep, totally what I said.
Yes it was.
I said Nazis represent 50% of the population?
Not even Trump's remaining supporters are anywhere near 50%, and some of them I assume are not Nazi people.
Yes. That's exactly what you did.
Well the Nazis aren't sending us their best people.
Close enough for government work.
I prefer communist rioters getting hit by cars.
You mean the Nazis who march and occassionally run their cars into crowds.
Compared to the 'Anti-fa' who march and constantly beat the shit out of people? Even people on their own side? Even to the point of confusing *Mexican* Marines (uh, Marines who are Mexican) with white supremicists because they have short haircuts and when those Marines pointed out that they weren't skinheads because, you know, they were Mexicans, our proud defenders against Nazi infiltration started calling them racial slurs? Those guys?
Sounds like a wash to me.
When you're defending Nazis, I think you've lost the debate automatically. Fair?
depends on your definition of National Socialist…
At least it's an ethos.
Not when the other side (you) is defending Stalinism, no it isn't fair at all. It actually sounds more like you engaging in yet another attempt to justify violence against people you disagree with.
But I'm not defending Stalinism. I'd say "and you know that," but I don't know that you do.
The ACLU would like a word with you…
P.S. They won that debate.
Funny, how its you that could read that and think its a defense of *anyone*.
You're the one defending leftists, like the Nazis. Who use the same tactics and have largely the same policies. Just with different applications of their racism. Amd differemt people in charge.
like those occupy folks?
She could be talking about the actual Nazis who occasionally march in streets and run their cars into crowds
or the actual Nazis that fight against them and shoot and kill people for their beliefs or attack people with sticks clubs and bike locks, or spray mace in people's faces and trash cars and businesses of anyone handy. The Nazis that attack people in restaurants and stores, that get people fired or make their banks refuse to do business with them.
You know, Tony, the people you support.
Maybe by "inclusive" he meant people who aren't idiots.

Cthulunotmyfriend
Love Shult's comment. Says it all. You can't have it both ways.
As a teacher I can empathize with the administrators of the school. You either got to let it all hang out and be fine with that, or be a free speech Nazi, ironically. And if the school let people put up signs that said, "Fuck _____", others would bitch and it would be their asses on the line. So, they take the classic, oh my, profanity is so rude approach. Of course, will tell you that you may put up a sign saying "I find the options expressed by ______ to be counter to my own philosophy," as long as the noun in the _____ is not perjorative.
How many cis-normative white males does it take to screw in a light bulb?
I don't know, but oooh, I hate those people.
EXCEPTION: Bernie Sanders.
Bernie couldn't screw in anything…
The school would not be OK with "Fuck" insert anything.
Black, Muslims, LGBT, or any other special victim group would NOT be OK.
So they are not for free speech.
She rents the dorm room correct?
Its not a free speech issue. I'm an ex landlord and would have an issue with any of my tenants having a "Fuck" fill in the blank sign on my property.
When she owns her owns property she can put "Fuck" whatever signs on her lawn.
That's a good argument against government being a landlord, because then you deal with the question of whether the government has more censorship power as a landlord than as a sovereign, and any censorship is the government's responsibility.
Private landlords = private standards, the government simply enforces the arranagements private parties have made, rather than make up its own rules of appropriate expression.
Agree, but I think dorm room windows can have some rules of etiquette. Even if they are owned by the government.
Many universities have a private trust deal with housing for exactly that reason.
All of those who think its OK would it be OK for her to have a "Fuck Fags" sign in her window?
A little decorum is Ok regarding the dorm room windows.
Fuck cigarettes? That's just in accordance with a healthy lifestyle. You know what else? Fuck faggots too. Little bundles of sticks you are supposed to burn directly contribute to global climate change.
Or maybe a swastika would be OK? Competing views you know?
As long as they'd also censor, say, a poster honoring a Communist murderer (not that college students would ever do that), then perhaps they can say the apply their standards consistently.
James Pollock
I find it hard to believe you went to a college where people put Communist murderer posters in their windows. Then again, I could have stopped after the first eleven words.
Do you find it hard to believe that Eddy went to a college where people put Che Guevara posters in their windows? Or are you unaware of Guevara's record as an executioner and concentration camp commander?

Those of us from an earlier era recall when profanity was mostly omitted in public discourse, either due to "obscenity" laws or common courtesy we were taught. It forced the use of creative language alternatives.
I'd respond to the school by posting a sign that said "pro-liberty, anti-nazi, anticommunist, antifascist" just to watch the apoplexies.
Thank God those Berkeley kids got that whole free speech movement going.
All in all this has to be the most delicious story to return to work and find.
If we could only get the Jewish Defense League, the NAACP and the Aryan Brotherhood to all hold hands and sing Kumbaya all our problems would be solved and inclusivity would reign.
Given that a production of Sound of Music had to put a notice in the program warning that there would be nazis symbols in the musical, I detect a total deterioration of critical thinking.
The admin email talked about "inclusion"–would that be inclusion of the people who are anti-semites? Of people who are easily offended? Of prudes who can't bear seeing "fuck" on a college campus? Gibberish.
JRS1001
Given that Nazis havent existed in any meaningful sense since the 1950s at latest….the loose use of the term is moronic.
Its like refering to Mongols or Vikings…people who basically do not exist.
It shows a glaring misunderstanding of who those people were and what they believed. Movements have an organic lifespan that is specific to their place, time and circumstances and cannot be tramsported to another.
Nazism lived and died in its own time, place and circumstances and those people had their own reasons for doing what they did and believing what they did. There is no modern equivalent.

There was a time vulgarity like this would just not be tolerated. Seems we no longer care what kind of trash we have around us. Yep I am older.
It appears to me that hypocrisy has become a virtue.
Narcissism means getting what you want at any cost.
Free speech is used to voice what you want then all vocal opposition is shut down with extreme prejudice.
Narcissism works that way. Free speech doesn't.
What is it going to take for everyone to realize that rights are for everyone when the law no longer supports it?
At "virtue as defined by progressives," isn't Robbie really referring to altruists? And aren't National Socialists the textbook example of altruism unleashed? If the inmates at Amherst were to actually read and understand translations of the mystical and altruistic spewings of the political party elected by a Germany that was 97% a mixture of catholicism and protestantism, the poster could have been interpreted less figuratively… as in "The Night Porter"!
Altruism is the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others.
It's definitely not a narcissist characteristic, nor a libertarian one.
It is the inspiration of socialism, but rarely is exhibited by any.
That is the fault of human weakness, not the principle.
Murder your baby in abortion, for your convenience.
Destroy and occupy Middle Eastern lands, for your greed.
Censor free speech with extreme prejudice, for your own conflicting interests.
Human weakness.
Maybe it was an advertisement?
Many years ago, in my freshman year at University, an acquaintance set out to compose a phrase that would "trigger" the maximum number of individuals and widest variety of groups. He settled on "Nuke the Gay Baby Whales". He made a large banner with that phrase, and hung it outside his dorm room window. It worked as intended and expected; a whole lot of folks got triggered, and the University made him take it down pretty quickly. They were less sanctimonious about it, but just as coercive.
Laughing about the hornet's nest he stirred up, over the many years since then, I have occasionally indulged an idle thought experiment to find a phrase that might "trigger" a comparably large collection of people and groups. I have never come close to matching, let alone exceeding, his original.
January.8.2019 at 10:29 am
Well, I don't think your buddy came up with that one on his own… Unless he originated the phrase. But it is supposed to be "Nuke the gay baby whales for Jesus!" If your friend DID invent that phrase, as I'm not sure how far it goes back… Then good going!

If anything, this incident highlights the coercive power of residence administrators, who are the campus busybodies most directly involved in students' lives, after all.
buy interview essay
There's a difference between the educational facilities on campus, and the residential facilities on campus.
No surprisingly, the administration of housing resources tends to be run a bit more like a landlord. Acting as landlord to ask people not to hang signs in the windows is not the same thing as the overall administration of the institution making it a demand.
In short, chill out.
Packing a few thousand widely disparate people into an small enclosed space is bound to create friction between them, on occasion, much the same way bringing the whole family together at the holidays can help them remember why they live in different places the rest of the year.

As a German American, I find that sign highly triggering. It makes me worry about my safety. I would be afraid that some of the other students on that campus, perhaps POCs, might attack me simply because my ancestors and relatives were bad asses that went out and conquered and subjugated large portions of the world, despite the fact that I personally never had the privilege to go and do so.
Also, since I most likely had not too distantly related relatives that were actual Nazis, should anybody do a genealogy and find that out, I would think they might physically attack me just because a great-great uncle of mine I never even knew existed may have whacked some Jews or commie Russians. Living with a constant threat of physical violence is no way to go through college!
I therefore demand that the sign be taken down in order to create an all inclusive campus where everybody feels safe and welcome.

The kingdom of Illustra is without a king and on the brink of a multi-front war. More, the religious leaders are confounded that Deas (God the Father) has not revealed the identity of their new king, who will save their nation. The draw is between two very different and equally likeable men: Errol and Liam. A prophecy given some time ago suggests that one of these men will save the nation by giving his life, while the other will live. Princess Adora is also a key character, and unashamedly in love with Errol, who reciprocates her feelings.
This is an epic adventure full of action, mystery, the exploration of other lands, strange monsters, and detailed battles, as well as having elements of romance and theological thought. Parts of the story reminded me a bit of The Odyssey, while it also has a medieval feeling, and surprising theological depth (especially considering ecclesiology and pnuematology).
I jumped into this third and final book of the series without having read the first two. While I was immediately pulled in to the intriguing story, I was also constantly aware of the missing back-story. There are several groups of characters to learn, and many references to relationships, memories, and events of the past. I enjoyed the book for itself, but also had moments were I was confused by the narrative. Therefore, I would absolutely recommend reading the trilogy in order if possible–I will probably go back to read the others as well!
This is the classic story of a young woman discovering that she has royal blood and is the heir to the throne of a small, little known (fictitious) nation, and its only hope of survival. More than that, it has a strong spiritual foundation, and becomes a metaphor for identity and purpose within God's Kingdom.
(Princess) Regina Beswick is a strong-willed Southern gal, who restores classic cars, and was finally feeling that she was "living the dream" when her life was interrupted with the news of her hidden identity. The theme of finding her identity, home, and purpose are almost stronger than the budding romance between her and her "prince", which gives the story a bit more depth than the average romance.
There were moments that were a bit cheesy romantic, or maybe too idealistic; but isn't this part of what makes a good fairy tale? Overall, it was a fun, light-hearted, read, but also had me thinking about identity and God's love. I enjoyed it, and I think teen girls would love it.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Zondervan.
One night last week I had just started falling asleep after a late night study session when I felt the Holy Spirit awakening me to pray for my little ones. As I was praying for Jeremiah (our almost-four year old), I thought I heard him breathing funny. By-the-way, it is abnormal that I could hear him breathing in his room while I am in our master bedroom with both room doors partially closed. I began to recall some of the "paranoid mom moments" I've had in the past of checking in on them unnecessarily; but the Holy Spirit prompted me to get up to check on him, and I did immediately.
Upon entering the boy's shared bedroom, I heard and saw that Jeremiah was choking. I reached down to him and he and his bedding were soaked in vomit, and he was sleeping on his back continuously throwing up and struggling to breathe. Scary right?! This has been our first flu experience with the kids, so even on that level the vomiting caught me off-guard. I've also read though of people dying from asphyxiation by vomit, which is crazy to think of even now. Thankfully I was available to help at the right moment, and was able to sit him up, clear his mouth, and clean up the mess. Then we made him sleep in our bed the rest of the night, on his side, just in case. Jeremiah is all healthy now, and Xavier, who caught the bug a bit later, is still regaining his usual energy, although his other symptoms have passed.
It's no fun being sick, but I love that even in moments like this God is with us to protect us, guide us, comfort us, and speak to us personally. We have so much to be thankful for.


Daddy, can I help you?" It was my four-year-old son, Matt, who was watching me carry cartons of empty pop bottles to the car. We could return them for a dime apiece, so after months of stacking them up in the garage, I was off to collect the cash bonanza.
Count on it, I didn't say, "Listen, Kid, you started this, so pick up that carton right now and finish what you started!" Of course not!
I took the carton out of his hands, because I knew it was too heavy for him to handle. As his earthly father, I understood what his limits were and helped him carry the load.
Ever feel like you're in the middle of all kinds of trials? The problem with problems is that they have a tendency to drain us of our strength—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. And that's when our adversary likes to launch his attack. When we're weak, he haunts us with thoughts like: How could a loving God allow this to happen? and God has brought you to this place and has just left you here. Or, You're beyond help—God can't help you now. But when you start thinking these thoughts, you need to know that they are flat out lies from the pit. You can be sure that they don't reflect God's heart for you during difficult times.
In the Old Testament, one of God's names is Jehovah Jireh—our provider—and He always lives up to His name. He stands ready to provide abundant grace so that we can bear up until He has finished His work in the trial (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). He gives us a peace that passes understanding as we trust and rely on Him with a grateful heart (Philippians 4:6-7). He gives wisdom to see our tough times from His point of view (James 1:5). He gives us the assurance that He will stick it out with us and not leave or forsake us, so that we can confidently say, "The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What man can do to me?" (Hebrews 13:6).
So, chin up! Our troubles and trials have not escaped the notice of the One who comes alongside to help when it seems like the load is too much to bear.
The One who knows your load limit promises to limit your load!
Think back to a time when God helped you "bear up" under the pressure of difficult circumstances. Write a paragraph in your journal about how God's power helped you through.
What promises of God can you claim to find strength in your time of trouble? Pray them back to God with a thankful heart until you sense His peace and presence in the midst of your pain.
Write a prayer of thanksgiving for a specific event that God helped you through. Read the following Scriptures for examples of Moses and Hannah who did this: Exodus 15:1-18; 1 Samuel 2:1-10.
Find someone who needs help "bearing up." Use Scripture to encourage that person through a written note or a phone call.

Five top things you need to know about the carrier bag charges
News | Compliance | Sustainability
It may be seen by some as just another environmental tax, however the carrier bag charges coming into effect in England next month are, according to Defra, necessary to "protect our environment from litter and pollution".
Back in 2014, the major supermarkets in England distributed over a staggering 7.6 billion plastic bags, an increase of 233 million on 2013.
Defra say that the new 5p charge could reduce this amount by up to 80%. The introduction of the same charge in Wales has seen a reduction of 71% since 2011. In Scotland, the charge resulted in a 22% (147 million bags) drop despite the levy only being in place for the final 11 weeks of 2014.
With this reduction Defra expect to see an overall benefit of up to £730 million raised for good causes, £60 million savings in litter clean-up costs and carbon savings of around £13 million, as well as boost to the economy.
The charge comes into play next month on 5 October.
Here is what you need to know to stay ahead of the game:
You only need to comply with the charge if you are a retailer with 250 or more employees. This is to reduce the administrative burden on small and medium sized businesses, however they can charge on a voluntary basis if they so wish.
Bags to be charged for must be unused, plastic, have handles and be 70 microns or less.
There are several exemptions where bags have certain uses, such as for uncooked fish and meat, being made from paper or for services (e.g. dry cleaning). You can read the full list here.
You must send details to Defra once a year on;
a) the number of bags you distributed
b) the amount of money you received from selling bags
c) any VAT you paid on the money received for the bags
d) what you did with the proceeds
e) details of "reasonable costs". These are costs incurred to comply with the legislation, such as changing till systems, training staff, administering donations to good causes and getting expert advice. It is expected that these costs will reduce after the first year of complying.
Reporting will be done on an annual basis with the first reporting period taking place from 5 October 2015 to 6 April 2016, and then from 7 April to 6 April the following year from 2016 onwards.
Proceeds from the bags should be donated to good causes; the money doesn't go to the government, hence not making it a tax.
You can find more detailed guidance from Defra here. If you have any queries don't hesitate to get in touch with the ecosurety team at packaging@ecosurety.com or on 0845 094 2228.

Government releases a summary of responses to the Plastics Problem consultation
From March to May this year, the Government opened a consultation to explore how changes in taxation could result in the reduction in use of single-use plastics.
Producer responsibility legislation exists across Europe. So if you sell to other countries, you will need to ensure you are compliant there too.
The UK Packaging Waste Producer Responsibility regulations apply to all organisations in the UK who meet a threshold, defined in terms of tonnes of packaging handled and turnover.

- FMCG Brands on Social Media: We Analyse Three Favourites
FMCG Brands on Social Media: We Analyse Three Favourites
The Social Element on December 17, 2013
Dominators of your shopping list, the main contributor to the recycling bin, FMCG products range from toilet cleaners to your preferred biscuit for tea dunking. In short, FMCG products are everywhere.
Many of our favourite brands such as Colgate (Colgate-Palmolive), Pampers (Proctor & Gamble) and Terry's Chocolate Oranges (Mondelez) have stood the test of time thanks to their ever-changing technology and improved recipes. Take a look in your home – I'll bet you'll find one item that wasn't available in supermarkets a year ago, in addition to one item that your parents put out on the table or kept in the cupboard when you were younger. (Jammy Dodgers, anyone?)
Recipes and packaging aren't the only things that brands have changed; the FMCG sector is gradually dipping its toe in the social media waters.
According to Headstream's Social Brands 100 just 11 FMCG brands made it in to the top 100. The ever-popular Innocent clinched the No.1 spot for the sector, and ranked No.6 in the top 100.
Headstream reported that, "Although food and drink FMCG brands tend to score above average on customer support metrics, they really stand out on engagement rates, with food, drink and alcohol brands achieving above average scores on Twitter and Facebook."
We take a look at some of our favourite FMCG brands on social media, and see what they're doing well and how they're doing it.
Coca-Cola talks to you as though you've been best friends for years
For the past three months, Coca-Cola has come on top as the FMCG brand according to the size of its community.
With 76 million dedicated fans on Facebook, with an additional 2.1 million on Twitter and 85,000 on Instagram, Coca Cola is a great example of how to produce through-the-line campaigns.
I daresay we've seen Coca-Cola bottles on our Facebook timeline, Twitter dashboard, and Instagram feed. I'm sure I'm not alone in envying the 150 names that were picked to adorn a Coca-Cola bottle, or who felt like they were missing out from using #shareacoke.
The 2013 Cannes Lions dubbed the company's latest 'Share a Coke' initiative "the most successful campaign in decades", and it's no wonder why. Apart from a 2.75% sales increase in the UK alone, the campaign emphasises the longevity of the brand, the accessibility of the product and the underlying message that most people have shared a Coca-Cola with a loved one.
Coca-Cola's message is clear and simple, friendly and laidback; its community is interactive, international and positive. Coca-Cola is careful not to place emphasis on where you're enjoying your drink, but who you're sharing your drink with. This allows the community to interact with their posts, regardless of their whereabouts.
Users are valued on Coca-Cola's page, the brand's content places emphasis on needing your help, your opinion, and your involvement. It does this without sounding desperate or forced.
This could be the perfect Santa picture! @CocaCola #ShareACoke pic.twitter.com/Ny1KfbilOm
— Regina Stewart (@RAS331) December 2, 2017
Coca-Cola's through-the-line campaign naturally drives conversation back to social; we, the consumers, are doing the rest. According to Brandwatch, #shareacoke has been used over 29,000 times on Twitter while Marketing Week reported that brand sentiment has risen from 9.6 to 12.4. We're tweeting every time we find a bottle with our names; Instagramming these as proof and boasting on Facebook about it.
Red Bull relies on strong imagery and short statements
Red Bull's social media is miles away from the "Ooooh, Red Bull gives you wings" TV ads. The brand is confident about its own understated cool. It is aspirational and accessible; instead of thinking "Well there's no way I'll ever ride a wave like that guy", you think "That's incredible, I want to learn how to surf".
Red Bull trusts its community to make the connection and understand the ambition. It sets the tone for the self-assured, fearless individuals it hopes to attract to the page to add to its 40 million strong Facebook community.
Red Bull chooses not to promote its products on Facebook. Instead, every single post is to the point and self-assured, accompanied by breathtaking lifestyle images. That's a bold move.
So how does Red Bull drive conversation on its page? Simple – by casually throwing a person to the next hold while rock climbing.
The Red Bull Stratos 'Space Jump' is an event that has firmly been cemented in the minds of twenty-somethings. Our parents had Michael Jackson, our grandparents had Apollo 13; we have a man who fell 39 kilometers to earth.
A PR stunt as risky as the Space Jump needed fan support, so Red Bull created a Facebook hub. This 'broadcast station' delivered insider access to updates and news. Not only did a stunt like this guarantee fan growth, increase reach and boost the brand's footprint, it gave Red Bull rich content for future use.
The video of the actual event was streamed live across 50 countries, racking up 52 million views on the day. Sales increased by 17% worldwide and broke a YouTube record after gaining 7 million views.
Oreo is playful and cheeky – who said cookies are only for kids?
Nostalgia is the source of Oreo's global appeal. Take a page that posts silly pictures, memories of childhood games and makes you yearn for summer afternoon dunking Oreos in milk– why wouldn't you want to be part of that community?
Oreo's ageless sense of appeal lies in the fact that its assets are fun and playful. It's little wonder that its 34 million community of biscuit-lovers engage on a daily basis. What could possible make this better? Oreo interacts with their users to create conversations – conversations about biscuits, all day, and every day.
Let's take its 'Daily Twist' campaign, which celebrated 100 events over 100 days. For Gay Pride, the biscuit-maker inserted five milky layers on top of the classic white cream, and coloured each one differently to represent the Gay Pride flag. For the Mars Rover, it coloured the milky layer red and replicated track marks.
By creating relatable, humorous branded content, shares went up by 280% during the campaign, resulting in a 110% increase in user engagement. The 'Daily Twist' shows other FMCG brands that it's possible to be on topic, while producing branded assets, without compromising your tone of voice.
What challenges do FMCG brands face on social media?
The biggest issue for FMCG brands is how to track the correlation between social media activity and in-store sales. Coca-Cola's 'Share A Coke'; BIC Soleil's 'Win a trip to LA'; Dairylea's 'Mooing Cow' campaigns all drove in-store consumers to online activity. Does it work the other way round?
While coupon use – paper, online or mobile – is always a staple of supermarket shopping (ASDA's Del Boy Deals on Facebook are legendary), FMCG brands are leading the way with gamification as a way to track ROI while rewarding their community for participation.
On Facebook, social loyalty network Fanzy's app is a front-runner. Brands create fun, interactive challenges for users to complete in order to unlock badges for prizes. If you share a photo from a brand page, the number of likes received on your wall could be the difference between winning a packed lunch box or money-off coupon. It's like Pokemon, but on Facebook. It's great if your community likes to boast about its loyalty.
It's word of mouth at its finest and it gives brands the chance to see how active their community is willing to be; with apps like Fanzy, if your community wants to redeem a reward, it will.
As FMCG brands develop their tone of voice and platforms improve their features and apps, it's easy to see that this sector will be leading the way on social. Your friends are on social channels, so why can't your favourite brands occupy the same space?

....not at all, just being a dog! A dog that happens to love water and mud. A lot!
Let me set the stage: Brian & I are in the front yard mowing/trimming. Tanner is in the back & none too pleased about being left out of the action. You know, the usual, crying at the gate, barking, the occasional yelp...routine stuff.
"better go see what YOUR dog has done."
The soaker hose/mud hole to China.
When I yelled at Tanner..."What the HELL are you doing?"
He simply laid down...in the puddle. Good Dog.
Oh, we have a hole-digger, too. It drives me crazy, but I can't watch her 24/7 in the yard either.
Your blog is amazing! Love the posts about little Tanner-buddy. We were just talking about him last night (he is still SO gorgeous)! Thank you for loving him!
P.S. We were surfin the ESRA website last night - some of the Springer situations will make you cry... what precious little pooches!
