To help meet Texas'' need for power beginning in the latter part of the next decade, TXU Corp. (NYSE: TXU) announced today that it plans to develop applications to file with the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) for combined Construction and Operating Licenses (COLs) for two to six gigawatts (GW) of new nuclear-fueled power generation capacity at one to three sites. TXU expects to submit the COL applications in 2008, which would facilitate bringing the new capacity on line between 2015 and 2020. Combined with its previously announced 9.1 GW of coal power generation capacity that is expected to be on line by 2010, the nuclear power generation capacity would allow TXU to continue to deliver the dependable energy supply, low prices and cleaner environment its Texas consumers demand.
FLUOR, the US engineering giant, last night made a direct approach to the Government in a bid to buy British Nuclear Group outright, after it was infuriated by last week's decision to delay the sale of the decommissioning business, The Times has learnt.
The Age has obtained a submission to Mr Howard's inquiry by technology firm Silex Systems that argues Australia would lose export income of $US2 billion to $3 billion ($A2.6 billion-$3.9 billion) per year by 2015 if it failed to enrich its substantial supplies of uranium.
"If Australia is to fully capitalise on the value of its precious uranium resources, then it should develop a nuclear fuel industry which includes uranium conversion, uranium enrichment and fuel fabrication services," Silex puts to the Prime Minister's uranium taskforce, chaired by former Telstra boss Ziggy Switkowski. The company also issues a blunt warning that no corporation will invest in Australia until the country achieves bipartisan support and lowers the political temperature around the nuclear cycle.
The August issue of Energy Information Digest is now available on the NEI Web site, in the Newsroom. In it, you'll find articles about the Department of Energy's road map for developing cellulosic ethanol, a partnership between British Prime Minister Tony Blair and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to combat climate change, activities related to new nuclear plant construction, wind industry milestones, and other topics.
Earlier this week we noted South Africa's announcement that it was considering creating its own uranium enrichment program. Today, Commentary South Africa has some more thoughts on the announcement.
Westinghouse Electric Co. said it signed contracts worth more than $300 million to provide equipment and support for two nuclear power plants in South Korea.
The Westinghouse contracts are with Doosan Heavy Industries and Construction Co. Ltd., and the Korea Power Engineering Co. Inc.
The plants will be operated by the Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., a subsidiary of Korea Electric Power Corp.
The contracts will provide work at a number of Westinghouse locations in the U.S., including: Windsor, Conn., Newington, N.H., and Monroeville.In other Westinghouse-related news, the EU has extended its deadline for approving Toshiba's purchase of Westinghouse by two weeks.
Louisiana Energy Service plans to hold the groundbreaking ceremony for the National Enrichment Facility today at the NEF site near Eunice.
The NEF, according to a press release, is the first major commercial nuclear project licensed in more than 30 years and the first ever to be awarded a combined construction and operating license. Upon completion of construction, the NEF will provide a domestic source of enriched uranium for the country's nuclear energy needs.
The $1.5 billion NEF project, according to the press release, will provide close to 300 fulltime and contract jobs and more than 1,000 multi-year construction jobs in southeastern New Mexico. It will use proven technology that has operated safely in Europe for 30 years.
In all, Hurricane Katrina destroyed 46 offshore platforms and Hurricane Rita destroyed 69, according to the Minerals Management Service, an agency of the Department of the Interior.
Insurance companies like AON and Willis have estimated the total damage price tag for the industry at about $15 billion.
The most recent report on shut-in production says 12 percent of the Gulf's oil output and 9 percent of its natural gas production remains off line.
David Pursell, an analyst with Houston's Pickering Energy Partners, said most companies don't expect to see the Gulf's oil and gas output reach pre-Katrina levels until next year.
Some lost wells may not be restarted at all given the extent of the damage for many low volume wells.Thanks to Walter Taylor for the pointer.
With Hurricane Ernesto bearing down on Florida, FPL is getting ready for the storm to make landfall later today. In case of hurricane winds, the utility has a plan in place for staged shutdowns of the nuclear stations at Turkey Point and St. Lucie. In case that decision is made, look for an announcement from NRC.
With NRC on the cusp of a new wave of internal expansion due to the revivial of the American nuclear industry, the agency is going to have to exapnd its IT infrastructure as well. NRC's Information Services Office director Ed Baker sat down with Government Computer News to talk about the challenge.
James Lovelock, the originator of the Gaia Theory, will be in Washington on Friday, September 8 at 7 P.M. to lecture and sign his most recent book, The Revenge of Gaia.

For July 2006, NEI estimates the average net capacity factor reached 98.1 percent. This figure is 1.7 percentage points higher than the same one month period in 2005. NEI estimates monthly nuclear generation at 72.2 billion kilowatt-hours for July 2006 compared to 71.3 BkWh for the same one month period in 2005.For 2006, NEI estimates year to date nuclear generation at 459.8 billion kilowatt-hours compared to 448.8 BkWh in 2005 (2.5 percent increase).For the report click here (pdf).

In this month's edition, my colleague Lisa Stiles-Shell is the subject of the interview, as she answers some questions in the wake of her election as President of the International Youth Nuclear Congress.
Congrats to Lisa, who I'm sure is in for an exciting term.
U.S. Department of Energy Assistant Secretary for Nuclear Energy Dennis Spurgeon announced the appointment of Dr. Paul Lisowski as Deputy Director of Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems. As Deputy Director, Dr. Lisowski will lead the day-to-day operations of the Department's Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, a key element of the President's Advanced Energy Initiative.
WHAT: NAM President John Engler will address the media on the results of the NAM''s annual Labor Day report. The report provides a snapshot of the past year''s economic trends as they relate to the American worker. As production jobs in manufacturing have posted their strongest gains since 1998 and production has increased at its fastest pace in six years, surging energy prices are decreasing workers'' take-home pay. Along with David Huether, the NAM''s chief economist, Gov. Engler will discuss how the manufacturing sector can continue to expand by turning toward a reliable domestic energy supply.

Clearly the nation does need to move promptly to get back into the nuclear power business in a major way. In France, 78.1 percent of electricity comes from nuclear. It's cheap, clean, safe and efficient. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, Belgium gets 55.1 percent, Japan 29.3 and the United States 19.9. About three-fourths of this nation's emission-free power generation comes from nuclear.
Georgia Power adds 40,000 customers per year, and that's about half the new customers coming online in Georgia yearly. The two 1,200-megawatt reactors at Vogtle alone generate about 11 percent of its electric-power needs.
Electricity prices were mixed to decreasing throughout the country last week. Gas prices at the Henry Hub fell $.38 to $7.04/MMBtu (see page 4).Nuclear capacity availability averaged 98 percent last week. Brunswick 1, Crystal River 3, and Oconee 3 were down for maintenance (see pages 2 & 3).Uranium prices (from UxC and TradeTech) were at $48.00 and $47.50/lb U3O8 (see page 7). Last week, natural gas futures at the Henry Hub were at $6.79/MMBtu for September and $11.12/MMBtu for January 2007 (see page 6).For the report click here (pdf).

Oil leapt more than $1 on Friday as a storm brewing in the Caribbean threatened to sweep through the U.S. Gulf next week and menace oil supplies yet to recover from last year's hurricanes.
A spinning band of squalls in the Caribbean was on the verge of becoming Tropical Storm Ernesto and was expected to head northwest toward the Gulf of Mexico by the middle of next week.
"Everybody came in and saw the story about the potential of this storm," said Kevin Blemkin, a broker at Man Financial. "People get a little bit excited about these things and we go from strength to strength."
It was a year ago that hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf and temporarily shut in a quarter of U.S. oil production.It also shut down a considerable percentage of natural gas production too. Cross your fingers.
America's voracious appetite for energy will put tremendous pressure on the nation's coal industry, according to Steven Leer, chief executive officer of Arch coal, which owns three coal mines in Utah and is the state's largest coal producer.
Today, about 50 percent of the nation's electricity is produced by coal-fired power plants. Leer said that market share will grow by another 7 percent in coming years. In fact, projections show that by 2030 the nation will need 700 million tons of coal more than what is being produced today, a 68 percent increase.
"That is a huge number," Leer said Thursday at the Utah Mining Association's annual convention. "It's going to be a challenge to every man and woman in this room.As we've seen in the past, there are other ways the coal supply can be disrupted.
Argentina announced an ambitious plan Wednesday to expand its nuclear program to meet rising energy demands, including extending the life of existing plants and possibly resuming uranium mining.
At a Government House news conference, Planning Minister Julio de Vido said the plan calls for increasing the life span of the aging Atucha I and Embalse nuclear power plants and completing construction by 2010 on the long-stalled Atucha II plant.
Two decades of delays have hampered completion of the Atucha II project, located some 75 miles northwest of the capital of Buenos Aires.For more, see this fact sheet from the World Nuclear Association.
As many of you already know, Public Citizen was an active participant at the NRC and DEQ meetings for North Anna last week. As part of their anti-nuclear campaign, they released a timely 'fact' sheet in which they outline how renewables can replace nuclear energy and meet Virginia's electrical needs.
Our friend Rod Adams just read through John Deutch and Ernest Moniz's recent piece on nuclear energy in Scientific American, and he has some additional thoughts.
The questions now are: Is Nuclear Power safe enough to be expanded? Has the technology and training of nuclear power workers been so improved that there are no longer threatening problems of human incompetence? Is Yucca Mountain an achieveable destination for nuclear waste? Can waste be reliably transferred to Yucca Mountain in Nevada without dangerous risks to the public health? Are there still problems of escessive water use by nuclear power plants? How many of the problems of nuclear safety widely discussed in the late '70's and early 80's have been eradicated? Is expanded nuclear capacity a risky target for terrorists, or merely a manageable problem?
Lovelock's principal motivation in penning his latest work is not to better define Gaia (although he does that) but to warn us that, if nothing is done, Earth is on the brink of moving into a "hot state" -- and if it does, "most of us, and our descendants, will die" prematurely and needlessly. The cause of the heating, he writes, is the greenhouse gases released by our fossil-fuel-driven economy.
So yes, "The Revenge of Gaia" is another book about global warming. Yet this is a wondrous and novel essay, both for what it has to say and for the insight it affords into one of the most ingenious, if eccentric, minds of our age.
I've got a follow-on comment to Lisa's post below about the performance put on by some of the anti-nukes who showed up at the NRC public meeting on North Anna held last week in Louisa County.
While Lisa pointed out some of the contradictions evident in the statement of the representative of Public Citizen, I'll take a look at some of the half-truths spouted by Lou Zeller of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League.
The first thing he said that caught my attention was the claim that a 2003 MIT study on nuclear energy concluded that it couldn't be economically competitive with other sources of electric generation like natural gas. Indeed, that's exactly what the study concluded. However, what Zeller failed to mention was the fact that the price of natural gas today is about triple the price estimate of natural gas used in the study.
Let's just say that a price increase of that magnitude renders the original conclusion, "inoperative".
I hope to have time soon to write down all of my thoughts about the North Anna public meetings in Louisa County, Virginia last week, but the most surprising aspect to me was the number of people suddenly calling themselves "not anti-nuclear." Imagine my delight when, at the NRC public meeting, Melissa Kemp, policy analyst for Public Citizen, joined the conga line and declared that the organization is "not antinuclear."
Gosh, the people running their website must be taking a very long vacation. Because with this new policy, they really should take down things like Activists' Guide to Fighting Nuclear Power and The Case Against Nuclear Power. If they need assistance replacing the propaganda with facts, we'd be happy to help.
To help meet the growing demand for nuclear-educated scientists and engineers, and to build upon President Bush's American Competitiveness Initiative, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) today announced it will award a total of $510,000 in fellowships to 12 graduate students who are studying the nuclear fuel cycle. Each fellowship is valued at $42,500 and was awarded under the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI) - a program within DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy - geared toward looking at ways to close the nuclear fuel cycle and recycle components of used nuclear reactor fuel.
The European Commissioner for Energy promoted the use of nuclear power for electricity generation on the grounds it can provide the biggest reduction in emissions of greenhouse gases.

Cleaning Uranium Waste With Bacteria?
A bacteria has been found that can convert soluble radioactive uranium into a non-toxic solid form called uraninite. It's novel conversion process has been known about for 10 years, but researchers are finally beginning to understand exactly how it is done.Click here for the paper, and here for a summary.

A Grand Bargain on Nuclear Energy and Global Warming?
This potential solution to curbing greenhouse gases and limiting exposure to rising oil prices -- building lots of nuclear plants, ensuring their safe operation and taxing "dirty" power producers -- requires compromises from both sides. Isn't that what compromise is all about?The Scientific American piece is now available online.
Nobody in the United States has started building a nuclear power plant in more than three decades. Mayo Shattuck could be the first.
As the chief executive of Constellation Energy, a utility holding company in Baltimore that already operates five nuclear reactors, Shattuck is convinced that nuclear power is on the verge of a renaissance, ready to provide reliable electricity at a competitive price. He has already taken the first steps toward that goal, moving this month to order critical parts for a new reactor.
Electricity has transformed the world. It has improved the quality of life for hundreds of millions of people. Without it, only the rich could hope for lives of comfort. Aside from clean water, it has no peer in the realm of human well-being.
I believe in the benefits of electricity and have confidence in America's ability to engineer its way out of its problems. So it seems incomprehensible that we do not pledge ourselves wholeheartedly to an electric future. Most of the railroads await electrification. There is a glimmer of its possibility for automobiles, and cities need to rediscover trolleys and trams.
Back to the future, I say -- the nuclear electric future which is less volatile and more reverential of the environment.
But while concern may be warranted, overconcern - and overreaction - would be a mistake. Company officials assert that the amount of tritium found in the water "is not a threat to anyone's health." And while those officials may have a bias, their assertion is backed up by federal officials who say that no unsafe levels of tritium have been detected outside the plant's boundaries. And they are backed up by the Manitowoc County Health Department, which reports that "we have seen no tritium" in any of the weekly tests of wells near the plant.
The editorial then devotes almost half of its valuable space to calling for a "politically and technically viable plan for storing the deadly radioactive waste that nuclear power plants produce". There are several emotionally charged and technically inaccurate statements made in the article, calling the material of concern "sludge" stating that the material is "piling up on sites next to reactors, in many cases close to population centers". Even the title of the article is not accurate, the glow seen in used nuclear fuel pools, which is caused by Cerenkov radiation, is definitely blue.There's more, and it's all worth your time.
In their latest podcast, Shane and Rod talk about a possible nuclear power plant in Amarillo, Texas, while Rod provides a report from the American Nuclear Society Utility Working Conference.
California Energy Blog has the details. And natural gas is the reason why.
Who Would Benefit From a Resurgence In Nuclear Energy?
Expect construction of the first plants to begin about 2009-2010. But don't expect them to begin producing juice any time soon. The complex process of designing, winning regulatory permissions and building a plant devours at least a dozen years. At best, the first of the new nukes will start coming on line in about 2015.
But even before that, large numbers of people stand to benefit. Among them are producers of many sophisticated goods (steam generators, turbines, pumps, specialty steel and alloys), skilled craftsmen and professionals (pipefitters, welders, engineers, architects), uranium miners, and, of course, shareholders in companies that make and build the plants.
NRC Chairman to Nuclear Industry: "Show me."
Most of the metaphors related to vision have to do with the vastness of the skies, and limitless horizons. Mine has more to do with my roots. More than a century ago, an educator and politician named Willard Duncan Vandiver coined the saying that has defined my home state of Missouri for all time.
Speaking to an audience in blue-blooded Philadelphia, he said, "I came from a state that raises corn and cotton and cockleburs and Democrats, and frothy eloquence neither convinces nor satisfies me. I am from Missouri. You have got to show me."
We've grown a bit in Missouri since then - we have some Republicans, and we even have a nuclear plant. But some things don't change.
If Albert Gore, Jr. is right and global warming is genuine, grave, and the fault of mankind, why do he and so many environmentalists oppose measures that would reduce those pesky carbon-dioxide emissions? Power sources that could cut atmospheric CO2 rarely seem good enough to satisfy the greens.
Unlike oil and coal, nuclear power does not generate CO2. It may be the most practical, atmosphere-friendly power source now available. And yet the former vice-president seems unimpressed.
With folks in Amarillo thinking about building a nuclear reactor, I guess it was only a matter of time before Richard Mangano, author of the infamous "Tooth Fairy Project," would come to town with his travelling snake oil show.

Another Blogger for Nuclear Energy?


Back in 1996 after we completed the work on what became the first PC Video Game professionally produced in Portugal "GAMBYS"; the company decided to start another project. These are some of the initial ballpen detailed doodles I did for an initial concept back then. I ended up not using any of this because we soon realize I was illustrating more for something that we didn´t had technology back then when the fastest computer was a pentium at 133mhz for example.
These environments are more suited for a MMROPG nowadays than for what we could do 25 years ago with technology available back then out of an independent low budget company.
This was my idea for a steampunk old rusting world at the time and I was just sketching stuff to see what could come out of this initial processs.
So this project was put on halt and the company became an Hospitality Software House of great success here in Portugal for several years ( still on today ) and for which I design hospitality software for about 10 years in between other illustration work, because I didn´t intended to be designing boring and burocratic hospitality software forever.

Q: Separating top of scroll area from overlying element fixed by CSS I have a web page with a div (e.g. "TopDiv") at the top that hides or displays the contents of that div when you click a button controlled by JavaScript.
Headers in the following article are similarly JS controlled; you can click the header to display or hide text.
Here's the problem:
Introduction

Introduction

When I click the link to #intro, the header pops up to the top of the page, where it's effectively buried under TopDiv. I've applied padding to the column containing the article, so the page title and article appear below TopDiv by default. However, TopDiv is fixed in position by CSS, so once you start scrolling, the headers just get sucked under TopDiv.
So I wondered if there's a way to modify internal page links so that the target jumps up to a position, say, 150 pixels from the top of the page, rather than the very top.

A: The best way to tackle this is to set the link to another element above it. Like this:
Introduction

Introduction

Now, you jump to just ABOVE the desired top of the page that it jumps to.
p.s.
 is just an example. You could also make an empty div, an empty span, or just about anything you want.
 is good though because it's a valid and functional element which means the page will have better SEO than having an empty div.

A: As suggested, creating your links earlier in your code will allow for the gap in the your overlying css... but to be exact you might want to include an empty div with an id that is the height of the element overlaying your content. Assuming your overlying content is 100 px. Try the following...
HTML

Mediterranean Chicken Pasta Bake is filled with all of your favorite mediterranean foods. California Ripe Olives, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and much more. It's delicious and has great flavor. You'll be glad you made this!
I have a confession to make. I used to be a picky eater. WHAT?!? I know how can a food blogger be a picky eater? But it's true. There were times where I would never touch artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes and even olives. I was raised in a house where we ate very simple foods. Mom and Dad are simple eaters and don't like to stray from the foods they like.
There is nothing wrong with that, but enter the year I met my husband and my whole life changed. Not only did I meet the man of my dreams, but I met someone who would push my limits and get me to try new foods. He knew me better than I did and knew that I would love these foods.
I couldn't imagine not liking olives, artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes now. It's so weird to think that I just didn't like those type of foods 15 years ago and now I love them. I love all types of Mediterranean foods and can't get enough of them. I have a healthy and delicious Bruschetta Chicken recipe that my whole family loves. Be sure to check it out.
Did you know that California Ripe Olives are not only delicious, but contain vitamin E, iron, vitamin A, and fiber. They're packaged at their peak to preserve nutrients for year-round enjoyment. You can learn more about a Mediterranean Diet here. Also, take a look at this nutrition label. Not only are California Ripe Olives yummy. They're healthy for you too!
This pasta bake punches great flavor, tons of delicious vegetables and a creamy sauce. I wanted to make sure this bake wasn't dry. No one likes a dry pasta bake. I wanted a creamy sauce that has sun-dried tomatoes and basil. Yum! The sauce turned out amazingly delicious, that I could have drank just the sauce alone.

The Content Arms Race – The Battle For Our Attention
June 6, 2018 by Natalie Simpson 0 Comments 719 Views
June 6, 2018 by Natalie Simpson in Executive Search
The role of social media in today's society combined with significant increases in the quantity, quality and the availability of content is having a marked effect on the dynamic between parent brands and the personal brands of the stars they employ. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the sports and media industry, and to discuss this topic, Savannah Group recently hosted a private dinner for senior executives in the sector. The topics of discussion focused on the role of content for these organisations; how they are looking to monetise their content and the carefully balanced dynamic between the commercial arm of the business and the talent they have within them.
Guest speaker, author and near futurist Ade McCormack suggests that archaeologists of the future will look back on the current 'digital age' and record it as a time where humans were the most socially connected, yet most out of touch, with the very essence of what it is to be human. As a species we have evolved from hunter gatherers, to farmers, to factory workers, and now to office workers. Yet for millennials and to a greater extent generation Z, there is little appeal to follow in their parent's footsteps, join a blue-chip organisation, climb the greasy pole along with everyone else and in doing so, sacrifice a life outside of work for seemingly little fulfilment. Instead, Ade suggests, these next generations are looking to rediscover what it is to be human: to be mobile, social, autonomous and creative. Instead of a career for life, they will have a life of careers.
Content Consumption Changes
The view of the near future that Ade paints, helps to contextualise some of the trends that businesses are seeing. The sports and media industry are particularly good examples of where the content arms race is visibly creating an intense period of disruption as businesses battle each other for our attention. For example, although traditional broadcasters in the UK (like the BBC, ITV and Channel Four) still hold 80% of the market share, the rise of on-demand viewing services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, coupled with social media's 'snackable' content is fulfilling the younger generation's desire to have instant on-demand access to content.
The relationship between fans and content focussed businesses is also changing. The virtual gaming market for instance continues to rapidly expand, and games titles such as FIFA, Madden and NBA 2K are creating strong emotional connections for younger generations with the virtual players and their teams. These connections then follow through to their real-life counter parts as a curiosity and interest derived from a video game (e.g. Madden or NBA 2k) can then become an entry point for new fans into those sports franchises. Fans then start to consume more content of their favourite players and teams, start to watch and read associated news channels, and may even be monetised later in the funnel through merchandising, ticketing for a live game or paying for additional content.
The NBA have long recognised the iconic status their sports have within the US and have done exceptionally well commercialising almost every part of the game. The NBA use social media to share highlights clips, postgame conferences, photos of players and their kit, and videos of players behind the scenes to make the sport about much more than just what happens on the court.
It's not just a change in online content consumption, the 'live' experience is also evolving. Sports franchises are starting to priorities the need to engage in a meaningful way with the 'casual' audiences rather than just appealing to the die-hard fans. Attracting a share of wallet from not only other on-the-pitch competitors, but other forms of weekend entertainment, such as theatre, theme parks, museums and cinemas. These 'casual' audiences want a different and often more polished experience, and as a result, sports businesses are compelled to invest in a new type of executive talent with a deep, understanding of how to create memorable and special experiences.
Personal Brand Power
A new reality for aspiring actors on the casting couch or artists looking to break into the music industry is that the size and demographic of an individual's social media following is now deemed at least as important as creative talent and looks. Similarly, businesses across the sports and media industry are keen not just to add top talent to their roster, but to be able to leverage that individual's social media footprint to draw in a new customer base.
Whether a media personality or an athlete with millions of social media followers, there is a carefully balanced dynamic between the personal brand and that of the parent brand. Many sporting organisations for example have expensive assets in the form of their players and a commercial imperative to sweat the 'assets' as much as possible. More time on camera equals more visibility of the parent brand and more commercial income, however this can create a strain. The business of sports is result orientated and while the performance management side of the business is tasked with short-term performance, this is often at odds with organisational commercial requirements which tend to be more medium to long-term. In the digital age, a balance of performance and commercialisation of assets needs to be achieved.
How Is Digital Impacting The Media, Sport & Entertainment Industry?
The Mission to Monetise Content
There is now a movement for content owners to develop direct commercial relationships with their consumers. As 'Direct to Consumer' or DTC grows in popularity as a commercial model, this process could essentially cut out consumer relationships with broadcasters.
A growing trend across sports is the popularity of packaged highlights rather than the full game experience. Ironically, greater connectivity is putting increased pressure on a consumer's time and attention rather than alleviating it, leading to an increase in popularity for formats that are fast and easy to digest. Commercially, this is a challenge for broadcasters as a highlights package either costs less than a live sports package or are not charged for at all. It's not for a want of trying – broadcasters and content producers have tried to increase prices for these types of packages, but the type of consumer who would rather watch highlights typically isn't willing to spend much money to do so. Elsewhere in life however, consumers are expected to pay more for convenience so there is clearly a disconnect.
Monetising content effectively isn't just an online based concern. In the US and the UK, sports clubs are continuing to invest heavily in their offline infrastructure, building stadiums that are not only bigger but are much more versatile. Meanwhile advances in technology such as in-stadia holograms or e-sports offer the chance to create alternative sporting experiences.
As both parent brands and the brands of the talent they employ grow in size and power, so too does the attractiveness of leveraging these brands for increased commercial gain. It's a delicate art however, balancing the motivations and aspirations of the individual personal brands while maintaining control as a parent brand and ensuring performance of the individual remains high.
The multitude of distribution channels for content have created a period of intense change and competition for content businesses as they look to further monetise while growing their audience and brand presence. Far from being over, the content arms race may only just be beginning.

Does Coca Cola really contain alcohol?
mattpomroy / April 1, 2011
Is there any truth in the rumour that Coca-Cola really contains alcohol?
A recent report from This American Life, a radio show in the United States, claims to have discovered the closely-guarded formula to Coca-Cola in an archived 1979 article from Coke's hometown newspaper, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. A photo with the piece shows pages from a notebook with a handwritten list of ingredients, one of which is alcohol.
While the basic ingredients are on the side of every Coke can, there are also the "natural flavourings", otherwise known as "7X". This is the key to the drink's distinct flavour and those components appear to be clearly visible in the photo. It states that the recipe (to flavour 23 pints) is as follows:
7X flavour (use 2oz of flavour to 5 gals syrup):
Alcohol 8oz
Orange oil 20 drops
Lemon oil 30 drops
Nutmeg oil 10 drops
Coriander 5 drops
Neroli oil 10 drops
Cinnamon 10 drops
When Esquire contacted Coca-Cola they denied that the photo gave away the long-held secret. "The formula in the picture was an attempt to replicate the secret formula, not the secret formula. In the manufacture of Coca-Cola, alcohol is not added as an ingredient and no fermentation takes place."
Of course, Coca-Cola once contained cocaine, albeit in tiny quantities and way back when it was sold as a medicine. That component was replaced with a non-narcotic extract from the coca plant back in 1906 along with extra caffeine. So perhaps there was alcohol, but it is no longer used today? Coke insists this isn't the case either, stating: "Alcohol has never been a part of our formula."
According to This American Life, the notebook originally belonged to Everett Beal, a friend of John Pemberton, the pharmacist who created the recipe for Coca-Cola syrup in 1886. Beal, who also worked as a pharmacist in Georgia (Coke's home state), passed it to his fishing buddy, Charles Salter, a columnist for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Salter's son, Chuck said recently, "Everett showed my dad his prized possession, a leather-bound book of recipes that had once belonged to a pharmacist named John Pemberton — the John Pemberton who created the original syrup to make Coke." This American Life went on to claim that the recipe matched another recipe from Pemberton which is in Coke's archives.
It's not the first time that alcohol has been "revealed" as an ingredient. In the 1960 book Food Flavorings: Composition, Manufacture and Use it is claimed that "California white wine fortified to 20 percent strength was used as the soaking solution circa 1909, but Coca-Cola may have switched to a simple water/alcohol mixture."
In light of this, according to Globes newspaper, one Israeli Muslim has filed a $330 million class action suit against The Central Bottling Company Group Ltd. — Coca-Cola's Israel franchisee. The suit states: "This is one of the greatest deceptions in the history of consumer affairs, when a company ignores the existence of alcohol as an ingredient despite being aware that the Muslim world abstains from products like these. This is a very serious matter and it certainly won't be the last in the world in light of the fraud."
Again, Coca-Cola tells Esquire there is nothing to account for: "The ingredients and manufacturing process used in the production of Coca-Cola are rigorously regulated by government and health authorities in more than 200 countries which have consistently recognised the beverage Coca-Cola as a non-alcoholic product."
As for Coke's rival, Pepsi, a woman called Asma Rice from the website themuslimwoman.com contacted both Coca-Cola and Pepsi about this very thing, fearing that if it contained even the slightest amount of alcohol it would be Haram. She received the same reply from Coke that we did, but claimed that Pepsi admitted in a phone call that, "The oils that they use to make Pepsi have minute traces of alcohol which combined make up a percentage of alcohol".
We contacted Pepsi ourselves but they denied that this was the case: "Our beverages are formulated with ingredients that are certified as Halal by a third party and meet Halal requirements." So officially there has never has been alcohol in Coca-Cola, even in trace amounts during preparation, despite what the several "leaked" recipes appear to show.

CORPORATE PAY CHECK FLORIDA'S TOP EARNERS -- WHO MADE HOW MUCH FOR DOING WHAT?
When Charles E. Rice, president, chairman and chief executive officer of Barnett Banks Inc. was asked what he thought about his salary, he said, "I think it's a lot of money."
The $542,000 figure may be a lot of money to Rice, Florida's highest-paid financial executive and the 10th-highest paid executive in the state, but those of comparable rank in other parts of the country would sneer at the paltry figure.
Central Florida Business' first statewide executive salary survey found that Florida executives' salaries lag behind those of their counterparts elsewhere, although their earnings increased far more than the average worker's did from 1983 to 1984.
By examining annual reports and proxy statements of about 200 of the largest public companies statewide -- in Central Florida and out-of-state companies with substantial operations in Florida -- it was discovered, for example, that Rice's salary was well below the 1984 nationwide high for commercial banking CEOs -- $1.4 million.
It's not that Rice is worth less than his higher paid counterparts. Since he took over in 1979, Barnett has almost quadrupled its assets to 12.5 billion in 1984, up from $3.7 billion. Today Barnett is more profitable than many of the nation's largest banks, such as Chase Manhattan and Chemical.
However, Rice could do a lot worse, say as badly as the other CEOs at Florida's biggest financial institutions. Their salaries averaged about $250,000 in 1984. That is $56,000 less than John McGillicuddy, chairman and CEO of Manufacturers Hanover made in deferred compensation, such as stock options and insurance premiums, alone.
Florida executives in other fields did not fare much better than the bankers. Walter Elliott, president of Elliott & Elliott Associates Inc., a management consulting and executive search firm in Cocoa, said Florida falls between 20th and 25th place on the executive pay scale.
In 1984, the top 10 executives in the state earned between $400,000 and $800,000 -- a range that omits the glaring example of financier Victor Posner and his son Stephen, who earned at least $10 million and $1.1 million respectively in 1983. They have not yet reported their salaries in 1984, but it is safe to assume that the Posners are still the highest paid as well as the highest profile executives in the state.
The elder Posner owns eight companies and has controlling interest in twice that many, which might entitle him to an extravagant salary if his empire were stable. But in March, Miami Beach-based Evans Products, a building supply and truck trailer company, filed for relief under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. The company and its seven subsidiaries owe almost $600 million in overdue loans and interest to some of the nation's biggest banks.
In addition, two of Posner's core companies, NVF Co. and Sharon Steel, are behind in repaying debt to banks and bondholders. Two other companies, DWG Corp. and Pennsylvania Steel Corp. are only marginally profitable.
Although Posner is paid more than other Florida executives -- the closest was $836,250 in 1984, less than 10 percent of what Posner made in 1983 -- the others are not in the poor house.
Compensation listed in the charts is cash compensation only. It does not include stock options, insurance policies, perquisites or other benefits, which often add up to more than an executive's salary.
Technologies, Harry Gray, who saved quite a bit in personal transportation costs in 1984. In addition to awarding him salary, bonuses and stock options totaling $4.2 million, Gray's company spent $65,163 flying him around in the corporate aircraft "for personal security reasons."
However, the Florida executives, too, have learned that merely earning a salary is not the name of the game. Alvah H. Chapman, Jr., chairman and CEO of Knight-Ridder Newspapers Inc. in Miami, received only $692,171 in cash bonuses and salary in 1984. But he was also awarded 55,000 stock options, with a value of $395,250, more than half his salary. Chapman already owns 527,222 shares of common stock, which earn him substantial dividends.
Chapman's compensation is not likely to prompt comment from shareholders because 1984 was a good year for Knight-Ridder. Profits increased by 17.9 percent, and earnings per share of common stock were up 19.4 percent from 1983. But, like Posner, there are other executives whose salary increases are not exactly in sync with their companies' performance.
The executives of the Windmere Corp., a personal care and household products company in Hialeah, are a prime example. In 1984, the company's profits dropped by more than $2 million to $5.9 million, which was attributed in the annual report to stockholders to a $900,000 tax settlement with the Internal Revenue Service. Nonetheless, the father and son team of Belvin and David Friedson, chairman and president respectively, took home the collective sum of $651,342 -- more than 10 percent of the company's net earnings. Belvin Friedson, who made $454,262 in 1984, received a 16.5 percent salary increase. David Friedson's salary was increased in 1984 by a hefty 38.1 percent to $197,080.
Raymond Mason, chairman of The Charter Co. in Jacksonville, made $455,217 in 1984, the year the company filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the bankruptcy code. In 1983, Mason not only received a salary of $549,200, but was awarded a "special incentive bonus" of $250,000.
There are some executives who humbly lower their salaries if their companies are going through hard times, and then there are those who look as though they are taking a pay cut for no apparent reason. For example, the cash compensation of Robert Elliott, chairman and CEO of Miami-based Levitz Furniture Corp., dropped by 20.6 percent in 1984, but his 1983 compensation was inordinately high because he exercised some of his stock options that year.
And finally, not all chairmen and CEOs are the top money-makers in their shops. Jack H. Chambers, the president and CEO of Gulfstream Land & Development Corp. in Plantation, made $285,000 in 1984, while Roy T. Dye, president of the company's subsidiary in Central Florida, Bel-Aire Homes Inc., made $692,313. Both men received the same amount of stock options: 8,250 shares of common stock.
Dye is no doubt being rewarded for the fact that Bel-Aire carries on the bulk of Gulfstream's home-building operations, and produced a pre-tax profit of $11 million, almost half of the pre-tax profits of the whole company.


How to check the smartphones on originality?
Home How to check the smartphones on originality?
The problem of fake and non-original smartphones is relevant and requires the attention of potential buyers.
Previously, a fake could be distinguished from the original quite simply, because it was very different from the original phone. The obvious difference was in almost everything: appearance, build and screen quality, software features and, of course, price.
Today it became difficult to recognize non-original phones. Chinese manufacturers have risen to a new level – now fake devices are slightly different from the originals. If the user has not previously held a real gadget in his hands, he may not notice the substitution at all.
Not only branded smartphones, for example, Apple and Samsung, but also popular Chinese brands of well-known companies – Xiaomi, Meizu, Vivo and others manage to forge. In order not to fall into the hands of scammers, it is necessary to check the device. You can do this with a few simple tips.
. The last digit is the main one and allows you to check the phone for originality.
IMEI is in the warranty card and on the phone itself – usually under the battery. You need to check it with the code that you can find in the settings. To verify compliance, you need to dial a combination of digits * # 06 #. The appeared 15 digits must completely coincide with those indicated in the settings, the warranty card, the case and on the box of the device. If there are any inconsistencies, then something is not clean with the gadget. Either the device itself, or the box or documents are replaced.
If the codes match, you need to check IMEI on the basis of the manufacturer – here the fraudsters are powerless.
If 05 or 50, then it is American and has very high quality.
If 06, then it is Chinese.
I have been surfing online greater than three hours lately, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours.
web will probably be a lot more useful than ever before. There's definately a great deal to find out about this issue.
I really like all the points you have made. bookmarked!!, I like your blog!

LTTE OBJECTIVES AMOUNTS TO CESSION FROM INDIAN UNION HOME MINISTRY TELLS BANNING TIGERS
The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) objective for a separate homeland (Tamil Eelam) for all Tamils threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India and amounts to cession from the Indian Union and thus falls the ambit of unlawful activities said the Home Ministry of India explaining the reason for the further ban of the organization in India.
The Home Ministry said activities of LTTE are detrimental to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India and there is a continuing strong need to control all such separatist activities by all possible means.
The notification by the Home Ministry said, "The diaspora continue to spread through articles in the Internet portals, anti-India feeling amongst the Sri Lankan Tamils by holding the top Indian political leaders and bureaucrats responsible for the defeat of the LTTE,"
India's national news agency the Press Trust of India published the following item on the ban:
"Government has extended the ban on LTTE declaring that it continues to adopt a strong anti- India posture and pose a grave threat to the security of its citizens.
In a notification, the Home Ministry said the activities of LTTE are detrimental to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India and there is a continuing strong need to control all such separatist activities by all possible means.
"LTTE continues to adopt a strong anti-India posture as also continues to pose a grave threat to the security of Indian nationals, it is necessary to declare LTTE as an 'unlawful association' with immediate effect," the Home Ministry notification issued by joint secretary Dharmendra Sharma said.
LTTE was banned in India in the aftermath of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi in 1991.
The organisation was also defeated and virtually decimated by the Sri Lankan forces in 2009 when its supremo V. Prabhakaran was also eliminated.
The Home Ministry said separatist Tamil chauvinist and pro-LTTE groups continue to foster a separatist tendency among the masses and trying to enhance the support base for LTTE in India, particularly in Tamil Nadu, which will ultimately have a strong disintegrating influence over the territorial integrity of India.
"The diaspora continue to spread through articles in the Internet portals, anti-India feeling amongst the Sri Lankan Tamils by holding the top Indian political leaders and bureaucrats responsible for the defeat of the LTTE," it said.
"Such propaganda through Internet, which remains continued, is likely to impact VVIP security adversely in India," the notification said.
The Home Ministry said the activities of the LTTE remnant cadres, dropouts, sympathisers, supporters who have been traced out recently in Tamil Nadu suggest that the cadres sent to Tamil Nadu would ultimately be utilised by the LTTE for unlawful activities.
The activities of pro-LTTE organisations and individuals have come to notice of the government that despite of the ban in force, attempts have been made by these forces to extend their support to the LTTE.
"The LTTE leaders, operatives and supporters have been inimically opposed to India's policy on their organisation and action of the state machinery in curbing their activities," it said.
The Home Ministry also said the LTTE's objective for a separate homeland (Tamil Eelam) for all Tamils threatens the sovereignty and territorial integrity of India and amounts to cession from the Union and thus falls the ambit of unlawful activities.
The LTTE, even after its military defeat in May 2009 in Sri Lanka, has not abandoned the concept of 'Eelam' and has been clandestinely working towards the 'Eelam' cause by undertaking fund raising and propaganda activities in Europe.
The remnant LTTE leaders or cadres have also initiated efforts to regroup the scattered activities and resurrect the outfit locally and internationally, it said."

The meeting will be attended by three members of the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA). Over the last one month, the amicus curiae, who has been assisting the Supreme Court in the BCCI case, met the representatives of the state associations individually and heard their problems.
"We are expecting that the amicus will inform us what are the proposals that can be accepted by the Supreme Court. We have quite a few objections and hopefully, we will get a better idea in the meeting," one of the state unit officials told Sportstar.

Some of the state unit officials also admitted that during the 'personal meetings' with the amicus, they have explained to him how the CoA has framed the state association constitution as a 'mirror image' of the BCCI constitution.
"To run cricketing activities at a local level, it is important to have various committees. But the Lodha recommendations don't encourage having committees. These are the few things we need to discuss," the state association official said.

One of the recommendations is the appointment of a Chief Executive Officer. "The recommendation says that the CEO must have worked in a company with an Rs. 100 crore turnover. But it is practically impossible for a state body to hire someone so expensive. We have explained everything to the amicus and we are hopeful that he will consider our point," the official said.
The amicus curiae has already met the members of the CoA and BCCI CEO Rahul Johri, informing them about the challenges faced by the state bodies. This meeting is crucial because amicus curiae's recommendations could play an important role when the apex court hears the case on April 25.

Actor / Writer
Lou Gehrig's Disease
Kirriemuir, Scotland
For four decades David Niven was the very image of the urbane British gentleman in films like Raffles (1940), Around the World in 80 Days (1956, based on the book by Jules Verne) and The Pink Panther (1964, with Peter Sellers). Niven's slender figure and even more slender mustache were well-known to film audiences around the world. Though he specialized in light comedy, Niven also handled drama in movies like Separate Tables (1958), for which he won a Oscar as Best Actor. In the 1970s Niven published two humorous autobiographies of his life in the movies, The Moon's A Balloon (1971) and Bring On the Empty Horses (1975).
Niven served with the British commandos in World War II, leaving at war's end with the rank of colonel… According to the BBC's 2004 obituary of actor Peter Ustinov, Ustinov served as Niven's batman (orderly) during World War II… Niven's place of birth is uncertain. According to the official site of Niven's estate, "Some say he was born in Belgrave Mansions, Grosvenor Gardens in London, while others assert that he was born in Kirriemuir in Scotland."

The Human Face of Poverty
Online Lecture with Author Chris Arnade
Please join us Thursday, May 28, at noon PDT for an online lecture featuring Chris Arnade, author of Dignity: Seeking Respect in Back Row America. Discovery Institute's Christopher F. Rufo will interview Arnade about the dynamics of American poverty, his long road trips through America's "forgotten cities," and the political dimension of anti-poverty policy.
Ten years ago, Arnade left a successful Wall Street career to document poverty and addiction in the Bronx. His countless interviews and photographs led to close friendships with homeless addicts, marginalized Americans, and hours spent in drug dens. What he found in "Back Row America" was a class of people who have long been forgotten and overlooked.
His book is an attempt to cast light on the inherent dignity of Back Row America — and to hold the elites in "Front Row America" accountable for their complicity in this human crisis.
May 28, 2020, 12 PM – 1 PM PDT

The Sexual Abuse Allegations In The U S
Gay Talese, the U S journalist and writer of nonfiction, had a reaction to the recent spate of allegations, confessions and denials in the United States and the United Kingdom on sexual assaults and harassments with which we agree: "Suck it up". We simply cannot understand why that country has devolved into a feeding frenzy over this. The allegations over Bill Cosby, the popular comedian, were ridiculous enough. Then came the Harvey Weinstein allegations. Now every day, every week there is some allegation from the sublime to the ridiculous. The reaction of the US business world is just as ridiculous. People who have had successful careers built up over years are being ruined because somebody decided decades after the fact that they are going to tell their story. What this shows is the puritanical nature of both the United Kingdom and the U S. Each country has this issue with sex which is a natural phenomenon and which they want to govern with ridiculous rules about what or what shouldn't be done. It simply cannot happen and doesn't in real life. Where there are real assaults, rapes etc. then surely there must be redress. Crimes against minors are a no no. However, we say that old man George Bush, confined to a wheel chair and in his nineties, and the allegation is that he touched a woman's behind. My goodness me. How silly. What a strange country.

It's one big certified central planning circus at this point with the Nikkei down -3.5% on the lows, up +3.5% on the highs, and closing up +0.89% (that's inside my TRADE resistance line of 15,097 by a relatively wide margin). Get this: the market didn't like it when the BOJ's Kuroda said "we have announced sufficient easing." In other words, the market doesn't think 50 TRILLION in incremental easing is enough! Yes ... we are still short JGBs.
Got Mining Capex Bubble (within the Bernanke Commodity Bubbles)? It's finally playing out in full (currency and stocks) in the "Land Down Under." AORDs -1.6% last night and is now bearish TRADE and TREND in our model, which is new for Aussie stocks (AUD is broken too).
It's been a really bad week for long-bond bulls. Why? Because A) Bernanke didn't get them paid (despite trying to talk down tapering) and B) the US Economic data (jobless claims and new home sales) continued to surprise on the upside. How long can Bernanke refute economic gravity? I don't think the market trusts him like it used to. Losing credibility is a problem folks. 2.01% and climbing on 10s.
Decent earnings visibility, stabilized market share, and aggressive share repurchases should keep a floor on the stock. Near-term earnings, potentially big orders from Oregon and South Dakota, and news of proliferating gaming domestically could provide near term catalysts for a stock that trades at only 11x EPS. We believe that multiple is unsustainably low – and management likely agrees given the buyback – for a company with the balance sheet and strong cash flow as IGT. Given private equity's interest in WMS (they lost out to SGMS) – a company similar to IGT that unlike IGT generates little free cash – we wouldn't rule out a privatizing transaction to realize the inherent value in this company.

With FedEx Express margins at a 30+ year low and 4-7 percentage points behind competitors, the opportunity for effective cost reductions appears significant. FedEx Ground is using its structural advantages to take market share from UPS. FDX competes in a highly consolidated industry with rational pricing. Both the Ground and Express divisions could be separately worth more than FDX's current market value, in our view.

The Making of International Trade Policy
NGOs, Agenda-Setting and the WTO
This book investigates the contributions of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) to policymaking at the WTO, challenging the idea that NGOs can be narrowly understood as potential 'democratic antidotes' to the imperfections of Inter-Governmental Organizations (IGOs).

The New Political Economy of Southeast Asia
Edited by Rajah Rasiah and Johannes Dragsbaek Schmidt
This well-researched book examines the dramatic transformation of Southeast Asian countries from agricultural and mining economies to industrial nations.
On the Brink of Deglobalization
An Alternative Perspective on the Causes of the World Trade Collapse
Peter A.G. van Bergeijk
On the Brink of Deglobalization addresses the breakdown of international trade and capital flows in 2008/09 and challenges the mainstream narrative for the world trade collapse. Detailed chapters on international finance, fragmentation of production, protectionism and earlier episodes of collapsing trade reveal data that contradicts conventional explanations and demonstrates that the trade collapse was driven by the shock of (perceived) trade uncertainty. Peter van Bergeijk discusses why trade barriers and import substitution are seen as solutions during depressions while presenting empirical evidence demonstrating the risks of such policies. This book provides a broad, historical and statistical analysis relevant to understanding the recent world trade collapse.
Socialism, Economic Calculation and Entrepreneurship
New Thinking in Political Economy series
Jesús Huerta de Soto
This highly topical book presents a new theory on the characteristics of entrepreneurial knowledge. It explores the recent shift among professional economists and scholars in their evaluation of the debate of socialism. Socialism, Economic Calculation and Entrepreneurship presents an application of Israel M. Kirzner's theory of entrepreneurship to the theory of the impossibility of socialism. It discusses the influence of the fall of socialism, with particular reference to the evolution of economic thought.
Aristotle, Adam Smith and Karl Marx
On Some Fundamental Issues in 21st Century Political Economy
Spencer J. Pack
Spencer Pack compares and contrasts Aristotle's, Smith's and Marx's theoretical systems on six fundamental issues: exchange value, money, capital, character, government, and change. This book also provides insights on issues concerning the continuing development of world money, saving, managerial capitalism, corrupt governments, and various secular and religious movements for social change.
The Political Economy of Professional Sport
New Horizons in the Economics of Sport series
Jean-François Bourg and Jean-Jacques Gouguet
This timely book offers a critical interpretation of the traditional social and economic accounts of sport. It provides an incisive analysis of professional sport and defines alternative foundations to the present model. The authors demonstrate that professional sport is an extremely complex phenomenon encompassing many unique factors depending on its global reach, financing and organization.
The Political Economy of Taxation
Lessons from Developing Countries
Paola Profeta and Simona Scabrosetti
This unique book in a relatively under-researched subject area will prove essential reading for academics, researchers and practitioners focusing on political economy, public finance and the economics of taxation.
Shareholding System Reform in China
Privatizing by Groping for Stones
Shu-Yun Ma
Since the 1980s, there has been a global wave of transfer of state assets to private hands. China is a relatively late participant of this worldwide trend, yet, in the last decade it has emerged as one of the largest privatizing countries. Shu-Yun Ma argues that China's privatization is not based on any grand blueprint; rather, it is privatization by 'groping for stones to cross the river', a well-known metaphor often attributed to Deng Xiaoping, meaning that the reform simply proceeds on a trial-and-error basis without being guided by any theory.
Wilhelm Röpke's Political Economy
Wilhelm Röpke is best known for his decisive intellectual contributions to the economic reforms that took post-war West Germany from ruin to riches within a decade. In this informative book, Samuel Gregg presents Röpke as a sophisticated économiste-philosophe in the tradition of Adam Smith, who was as much concerned with exploring and reforming the moral, social and intellectual foundations of the market economy, as he was in examining subjects such as business-cycles, trade-policy, inflation, employment, and the welfare state. By situating Röpke's ideas in the history of modern Western economic thought, Samuel Gregg illustrates that while Röpke's 'neoliberalism' departed from much nineteenth-century classical liberal thought, it was also profoundly anti-Keynesian and contested key aspects of the post-war Keynesian economic consensus.
The Economics of Ethics and the Ethics of Economics
Values, Markets and the State
Edited by Geoffrey Brennan and Giuseppe Eusepi
This book makes a rational and eloquent case for the closer integration of ethics and economics. It expands upon themes concerned with esteem, self-esteem, emotional bonding between agents, expressive concerns, and moral requirements.

Description CDH3 Full-Length MS Protein Standard (NP_001784), Labeled with [U- 13C6, 15N4]-L-Arginine and [U- 13C6, 15N2]-L-Lysine, was produced in human 293 cells (HEK293) with fully chemically defined cell culture medium to obtain incorporation efficiency at Creative-Proteomics. This gene is a classical cadherin from the cadherin superfamily. The encoded protein is a calcium-dependent cell-cell adhesion glycoprotein comprised of five extracellular cadherin repeats, a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail. This gene is located in a six-cadherin cluster in a region on the long arm of chromosome 16 that is involved in loss of heterozygosity events in breast and prostate cancer. In addition, aberrant expression of this protein is observed in cervical adenocarcinomas. Mutations in this gene have been associated with congential hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy.

HK MP5A2 with a RAS and a Streamlight TLR-2 from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Essentially a miniaturized G3, the MP5 is one of the most popular submachine guns. This German gun is highly customizable, and skilled armorers can "stretch" or "reverse stretch" the receiver in order to create an MP5/MP5K hybrid.
Replaces the Uzi Submachine Gun, the MAC-10 Silenced SMG, and the hidden CS:S MP5 on BO2 animations ported by Rex. Complaints, suggestions, and applications are welcome, as is constructive criticism.
The MP5 version includes a script in order to flip the viewmodel. It also lowers the mag capacity to realistic 30 and fixes a few things.
Does it also replace the UNSILENCED MAC-10? If so, I would mention that and if not I'd mention that too. Either way, thanks for this- there should be a lot more silenced weapons in the game in my opinion.
The game has two MAC-10's: one is suppressed (silenced) and the other is not. There is also an Uzi and a "hidden" MP5, for a total of 4 submachine guns not three. So your reply doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Your description says it replaces one of the MAC-10's and I was just wondering if it also replaced the second one which is not suppressed. If the unsilenced MAC-10 isn't also replaced by your MP5 just say so and that answers my question.
The game does NOT have an unsuppressed MAC-10 and never did. There are only three submachine guns in Left 4 Dead 2.
I've used it before, though I think it was with the "original" survivors not the new ones so I know you are wrong about this. This is yet another reason this website should not allow people to upload the work of others. The actual author would no doubt know the answer to my question.
I tried being polite, but now I see there is no reason. Get lost.
HulkTank, you are right. I misremembered that even though the console cheat for the MAC-10 Silenced is give smg_silenced, the one for the Uzi is give smg. There isn't one called give smg uzi, as one might expect. I loaded all 13 official campaigns and couldn't spawn the MAC-10 unsilenced because there wasn't one. Years ago, I installed a mod that turned the MAC-10's into Mini Uzi's, and they look quite similar to the MAC-10's so that's the other reason I misremembered as I was thinking of those guns and one of them was silenced and the other wasn't. Also there are many mods on the Steam Workshop that say they replace the MAC-10 unsilenced and MAC-10 but NOT the Uzi. These modders are confusing the Uzi with a MAC-10 that has no suppressor (and they look a lot like a Mini Uzi, which isn't in the game.) My apologies and might I suggest you simply delete all of my comments regarding this and all of yours too, as it distracts from the mod you uploaded made by Alex_V_Vasilkov. It's your call of course and have a good weekend..
Failure to do research is not a reason to accuse somebody of "not being an actual author". Especially considering you are misremembering assets of the game you played years ago. My Gamemaps profile mentions my Steam name, and my Steam profile links to my Gamemaps profile. And, you should probably know that at this point, people tend to have different usernames and/or avatars on various sites and change them sometimes if possible.
