This week and next, I'm thrilled to welcome guest blogger and fellow financial planner Scott Arnold, CFP ® to discuss how using the Three Jars method has helped teach his kids life and money lessons. Take it away, Scott!
My wife and I have two incredible boys, ages 8 & 6. Their personalities are very different, but one thing they have in common is an understanding of money. We have used The Three Jars with them for the past two years and here is how it has helped our family.
We have tweaked the rules over the years with experience. I'll lay out the rules this week. In next week's blog, I'll highlight the benefits and life lessons we have been able to teach them.
Find three jars (glass or plastic) per child. Each jar is labeled as "Spend", "Save" or "Give". Here is a link with pre-made labels.
Every week each boy receives three one-dollar bills. We do not tie the weekly payments to chores or use it as a disciplinary tool because money lessons cannot be taught unless they receive the payments.
One dollar is put in each Sunday. The boys are very focused before they get paid so we added a little twist before their payment. We use this opportunity to ask them three questions. The questions are random and cover anything from, "What is mom's cell phone number?" to, "How do you escape the house in a fire?" They like to show us how they would crawl out of their bedroom and down the steps. Even if they get the answers wrong, they still get the three dollars.
At the beginning of the month, each child decides how much money he wants to put in the "Spend" jar and how much money will stay in the "Save" jar.
At the end of the month, the "Save" jar will receive 5% interest. They count the money and calculate the interest. You would be amazed how fast they will learn when they know they are the ones receiving the money. We double-check their math.
If a boy spends more money than what is available in his "Spend" jar for the month, they are penalized and do not receive interest for that month.
In December, the boys decide which non-profit they want to support with their "Give" jar money. We do this on CO Gives Day. It is an easy way for them to look at the various non-profits, also institutions may match your donation to increase the impact. They have given to Smile Train, Chihuahua & Small Dog Rescue, Hire Heroes USA and school initiatives to help buy school supplies.
So, that's how it works. Stay tuned next week for the benefits and lessons learned using the Three Jars method.

What is a Car Diagnostic Test & Why is it So Important? Annual checkups from your physician keep you in good health, right? Well, the same goes for your car—regular diagnostic tests can detect problems with your vehicle before they require expensive repairs, or worse, leave you stranded on the side of the road after a breakdown.
What You Get From a Diagnostic. Running a diagnostic on your vehicle involves plugging a scanner into your vehicle's OBD-II port.Some models built before 1996 had a diagnostic system, but it was limited and varied greatly from manufacturer to manufacturer.
Autozone's free diagnostic check is not extremely reliable. What they refer to as a "diagnostic check" is just having a code scanner hooked up to the vehicle's computer.
At Harbor Freight Tools we offer diagnostics testing products such as pressure test kits, digital code readers, digital tachometers, circuit testers and many other items that are crucial to vehicle diagnostics testing. Use these tools for cars, trucks and motorcycles.

Q: Popup box where you enter variable in php? I am trying to make an add/remove file script, and what I want is a script that makes a window pop up where I enter a string, which is saves to a variable. I searched for long without luck. How can I do this?

A: This is not possible. PHP is a server-side language while JavaScript (where you can create such popups using prompt()) is a client-side language.
The easiest solution would be creating a HTML form containing a simple <input> element where the user enters the string. When submitting the form (using an <input type="submit"> button) your PHP script (put its name in the action attribute of the <form>) receives the value and makes it available as $_POST['whatever'] assuming you were using method="POST" in the form and name="whatever" for the text input.
Of course you can style that form using CSS so it looks a bit like the JavaScript prompt() dialog. Or you could actually use JavaScript and then put the value into a hidden field and submit the form using JavaScript. Or you could use AJAX. But the good old form is the easiest way to do it.

Behind-the-Scenes at Mama Jo Homestyle Pies
You might think the bakers at the Mama Jo Homestyle Pies bakery in Amherst, Ohio would be packing on the pounds. After all, the pies are a long-time favorite at Heinen's because of how irresistible they are. Being surrounded by them seems like a one-way ticket to overindulgence. But Johanna Mann (AKA Mama Jo herself) insists they actually lose weight. Because with anywhere from 500–1,500 pies fresh baked each day (and a whopping 24,000 during the holidays) her bakers are kept busy. Really busy.
As Johanna puts it, the old saying about pie just isn't true: "It's not as easy as pie. Pie is hard!" Beyond the physical demands of making so many confections, many factors go into ensuring the pies are just right. For example, each year's wheat crop is a little different depending on the location where it was grown and the weather during the growing season. This requires tweaks to the baking process. The temperature outside can also affect baking, meaning the bakers have to be able to think on their toes and make adjustments as necessary.
Johanna herself certainly knows a thing or two about adjusting. A family affair from the beginning, she started the business with her brother in 1993. Her husband (now retired) stepped in to help out after her brother moved on from the bakery, and their two children Ken and Jenna, who are poised to continue the family business after Mama Jo retires. The one constant at Mama Jo's is the use of traditional recipes and techniques for the best pies possible.
The bakery relocated from Vermilion to its current location in 1998, and it's hard to imagine the building was once a Kmart. A cute retail area greets you in the front (there's a second retail location in Medina), but it's behind the shop in the bakery where the real magic happens. Each day at 4 a.m., bakers arrive to make the pie dough — 700 lbs per batch! A machine presses the dough perfectly into pie pans to create the crust, and they're then baked in an enormous rotary oven with shelves revolving around a central location, sort of like a Ferris wheel for pies.
After they're removed from the oven, the pie shells are then cooled by a group of industrial fans before moving on to their delicious destinies as everything from Banana Cream pie (made with fresh banana slices), Strawberry Cream Cheese pie (with strawberries and scoops of cream cheese), and Chocolate Cream pie (filled with fresh made chocolate pudding.) A bright pink mixer dubbed "Pinky" mixes up 45 lbs of whipped cream — enough for 100 pies. Lemon Meringue (one of Mama Jo's favorites) is topped with handmade meringue and tucked back in the oven for a few minutes to brown the top.
Are you hungry yet? We hope so, because we're satisfying your sweet tooth with a different flavor of Mama Jo pies featured each week through the month of May. Heinen's carries Mama Jo pies in 6- and 8-inch sizes and a variety of flavors depending on seasonality. Because the pies are made with no preservatives and fresh ingredients, we recommend eating them within a few days. (Tip: they freeze well.)

Vegetable oil is a generic term that encompasses oil expelled from soybean, corn, cottonseed, and rapeseed (canola). These highly liquid oils are a relatively new innovation. They emerged on the scene in the 1920s and their level of consumption has since skyrocketed.
Corn and soybean have been consumed by man for millennia. Then, how is it that oil extracted from these wholesome foods is suddenly toxic? Well, the problem is not the oil per se, but how that oil is modified to extend shelf life.
You see, highly liquid vegetable oils, also called polyunsatured fats, very quickly become rancid when exposed to air. When you extract these fats from the protective context of a whole food, they break down quite rapidly. That is, polyunsaturated fats are only stable when encased by and associated with proteins, carbohydrates, antioxidants, and other substances found in whole foods. In fact, unmodified vegetable oil becomes rancid in a matter of hours when exposed to air.
This begs a question. How then does commercial vegetable oil have an average shelf life of two years? Vegetable oil is preserved by a process called partial hydrogenation. In which, a fraction of the unstable polyunsaturated fats are converted to much more stable trans fats. And it is these trans fats that give commercial vegetable oil their unnatural shelf life.
The producers of vegetable oil then have the audacity to paste boldly on their labels: CONTAINS NO TRANS FATS. This is a big fat lie. Sadly, this is but one instance of the vicious logic of the processed food industry, whose motto is profit over people.
Another term for partial hydrogenation is plastic-ization. That is, natural oil is converted into a synthetic plastic-like substance. Of a truth, commercial vegetable oil has more in common with petrochemicals than say naturally stable palm oil or coconut oil. What do I mean? Well, both petrochemicals and hydrogenated oils have no place in animal physiology. They are invariably toxic whenever ingested, a true disadvantage when using vegetable oil.
No wonder that wherever petro-vegetable oil goes, an epidemic of chronic diseases is sure to follow. In sum, the best oils for cooking are those that have been used in ancestral societies; namely palm oil, coconut oil, Shea butter, and animal fats.
There are many alternatives. Vegetable oil is a fairly new concoction. A good guide would be what our ancestors ate across the globe: palm oil, coconut oil, Shea butter, animal fats, and a few others. In Nigeria, we do not appreciate palm oil enough. It is a prince among oils.
Hey Chioma, the sad truth is that your lecturer is operating on outdated information. His position on saturated fats is based on the lipid hypothesis. It links dietary saturated fats and cholesterol to increased incidence of heart disease. The hard evidence for this causal link was the Seven Countries Study conducted by Ancel Keys. It turns out that that study was manipulated to suit the agenda of certain industries. In short, saturated fat is health promoting. I am even more shocked that your lecturer thinks palm oil contains cholesterol. That is nonsensical!! Cholesterol is only found in animal products like meat, milk, or eggs. Also, LDL is not bad cholesterol. LDL (low density lipoprotein) is a transport molecule for lipids like fat, cholesterol, and fat-soluble vitamins. The only bad cholesterol is oxidized cholesterol. And specifically oxidized small-dense LDL particles.
Hey Jen, no plant oil contains cholesterol. That is simply impossible. Cholesterol is only found in animal products. Plus, saturated fat is not bad for you. Many things go wrong when you are deficient in saturated fats. So much of what people are told are simply not true.
Apart from Palm Oil and Coconut oil, can u recommend any other plant oil, cos I don't see the feasibility of consuming Shea Butter for me.
For people asking for other alternative cooking oil, extra virgin olive oil is also very good. Though you won't bleach it like other cooking oil, all you need is just 3table spoonfuls that you will add when you are done cooking your soup or meal, its very medicinal but expensive. It also burns fat quick.
Also I heard of sunflower oil, though I haven't tried it out. Just extra virgin olive oil I have used and still using.
Hi Benedicta, have you read my post on Olive Oil? Please do.
Wow, this is an eye openin article, thank you. I do cook with coconut oil and so. But like another person said, what are other alternatives? I can't imaging frying meat or anything in coconut oil or Shea. . How about ground nut oil?
i like to put vegetable on my popcorn. it makes a good substitute for butter. the more you know.
Please, nobody has talked about Groundnut/Peanut oil here or is it same with Vegetable oil.

Stories are an effective way of presenting your imagination, thoughts, feelings, and ideas to other people. They have the power to inspire, motivate, and change your opinions. Telling stories have always been proved to be the most efficient way of communication. Storytelling became the business buzzword since the eruption of advertising, but now, this skill is not limited to sales and marketing only.
Business storytelling is used to stay connected to your colleagues, staff, suppliers, partners, and your team members. It is the inspiring way to change opinions of your employees or help them achieve the goals which are considered to be impossible by them.
The only way in which business stories differ from other stories is that they have got some motivation, vision, and objective at the end and they are not for entertainment, unlike other stories.
Storytelling technique can be used by team leaders to lead and encourage the team members. Successful leaders tell inspiring stories of their lifetime experiences to their teammates. They portray a picture of the ups and downs of their lives in a beautiful story form and boost the confidence level of those coworkers who have lost hope due to some failure.
A new member of the organization can help achieve the trust of his colleagues by this useful technique. He can talk about his past life, achievements, his hobbies, personal information using storytelling skills and slowly he will be no longer a stranger to the organization.
Sales and marketing people master the art of storytelling and conquer the hearts of their customers. For instance, a sales representative trying to convince a new client to buy a product can tell him the story of another customer who purchased the same product and was quite satisfied after using it.
If you wish to become a good story teller, you have to become a good listener first. Try to improve your listening skills and concentrate on other people's stories; then you will be able to develop excellent storytelling skills.
If you rehearse and practice the story before you present it to someone else, that will do no harm to you. Practice makes a man perfect.
Consider all the W's while telling the story. What is the purpose of telling the story? Who is the main character? What does he want to do? When did the story take place? With a proper context and background, you will be able to capture the audience's attention in the start.
The story should contain some message in it. A team leader should consider the objectives he wants to convey to his team members. First, decide upon a particular goal of your story then think of ways to achieve that purpose.
The main character of the story must be engaged in some activities. He must make some endeavors, take a risk, achieve success, experience a failure. The more the story is full of actions, the more lasting impact it has on your listeners. They will also learn many positive and negative things from the heroes experiences.
The story should end in such a way that it leaves a mark on the minds of your audience. The business stories always have a moral at the end. Some use them to convince their customers, some use to motivate their team members, and some try to convince their superiors in a meeting through storytelling.
In the end, keep it simple. You don't need to make confusing situations with your complex stories.

Q: Screen flickers, stops after brightness change Whenever I am using my 2006 Macbook for a while, the screen starts flickering, from one shade of brightness to another. When I change the brightness, it stops. It also occurs right after startup or when coming out of sleep mode. It is running the second to latest version of Snow Leopard, though the problem has been occurring ever since Tiger.

A: From my experience this could either point to a defective inverter board or a simple short-circuit on the cable that runs from the logic board to the display through the display hinge. I´d suggest visiting your nearest Apple Reseller / Apple Store or (if you´re technically experienced) trying the repair yourself (a new Inverter Board will set you back around 50$, but the do-it-yourself-repair is really not that easy).

MOSCOW (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin waded into the debate over meldonium on Thursday, saying the banned substance should not be considered a performance-enhancing drug.
There have been at least 172 failed drug tests for meldonium worldwide since the Latvian-made heart-drug was banned in 2016. Russian athletes — including tennis star Maria Sharapova — make up the largest contingent of those who have tested positive.
Among those watching in the studio was Ekaterina Bobrova, an Olympic gold medal-winning ice dancer who is suspended after testing positive for meldonium.
The company which makes meldonium has marketed it as improving energy levels in heart patients, while its inventor has previously said it increased the endurance of Soviet troops. However, the company also says meldonium should not be considered a performance-enhancer.
Meldonium was routinely used as a supplement by athletes in Eastern Europe before it was banned.
While Putin said he did not think authorities were targeting Russia in the decision to ban meldonium, he criticized the World Anti-Doping Agency for not carrying out research earlier on how long the drug takes to leave the body.
"There was no proper data," he said.
Some athletes say they stopped taking meldonium before it was banned but have still tested positive, and WADA said Wednesday that athletes in that position could avoid sanctions if that argument is backed up by data showing a low concentration of the substance in their sample.
Putin was noncommittal when asked by Russian track head coach Yuri Borzakovsky about the team's chances of being allowed to compete at the Olympics in August. Russia was suspended from global track and field in November after a WADA report detailed widespread, state-sponsored drug use.


Spiders, bedtime stories, and what's the fuss about Henry Fussy?
We have been reading Charlotte's Web to the children at bedtime. Last night was the final chapter, and the whole book has been every bit as magical and sad and beautiful as I remember from my own childhood.
Scout was enthralled from beginning to end. I wasn't confident of this when we started: books from this era move at a slower pace to those written these days (slower than, for example, Monsters Wear Underpants, a tremendous favourite of Ralph's - thanks Mum), and Scout is only four after all.
But she soaked it all in, even the long passages about the changing of the seasons, the subtle shifts on a farm from one month to another. Even the brutal honesty about life on the land, about how spiders eat, about love and loss. It was precious to see her settle into this slower pace, resting up against my side and dreamily playing with a thread on her pyjamas as she listened, always begging for more when each chapter ended.
However, here's something I did not even remotely pick up on when I read this book as a child: Henry Fussy. How did I not notice Fern's complete desertion of her best friends, for a boy called Henry Fussy? I'm guessing I must have been so caught up in Wilbur's and Charlotte's stories that I failed to notice that Fern was having a story of her own, a coming-of-age journey that took her away from the barn and onto a Ferris Wheel instead.
Fern happens to be the only human on the entire planet with access to the MAGICAL WORLD OF TALKING ANIMALS.
Nope, not enough. Henry Fussy is over there.
Well how about this: Wilbur, who she claimed to love "more than anything else in the whole world" is going to be KILLED BY FERN'S UNCLE, unless Charlotte's plan to save him works.
Henry Fussy paid for her ticket on the Ferris Wheel, so she didn't have to spend her own money.
We learn Charlotte is dying. She is also about to become a mother, but will not live to see her sweet babies.
Fern says this has been the best day of her life.
THE PLAN WORKED! Wilbur is getting a special medal, Fern's Uncle has never been happier, Wilbur's life has been saved. The entire family goes crazy with pride and excitement.
Fern wants money so she can pay for Henry Fussy's ticket on the Ferris Wheel.
And can I finally please point out, Fern is EIGHT. Girl, we need to talk.
After we finished reading Charlotte's Web last night, we talked a little bit about friendship and love and death, and it was a little bit sad but a lot beautiful. I kissed the children, turned out the light, and went downstairs to make my dinner alone as Mr B was working late. Then about half an hour before my bedtime, he came home.
Pale, shaking, and giggling in a high-pitched, slightly hysterical way (you know, like Floki from Vikings, if you happen to watch that show). Turned out just as he was parking the car, a giant huntsman spider the size of his palm had scuttled across the windscreen of the car.
Then it disappeared. Somewhere in the dark. On the car. Waiting.
Now I happen to think Mr B is all man, but that spider knew better, and it reduced him to the state of a terrified little old lady. Me too, when he told me about it later. Oh man, I was terrified just from the telling.
Just as Mr B was about to venture out of the car into the dark, where the spider waited unseen - literally a nanosecond before Mr B opened the car door - the spider appeared again, millimetres from his face, crawling down the outside of the car window. Slowly. Big, hairy underbelly and powerful legs moving across the glass and across Mr B's petrified face. If he'd opened that door even one second earlier, the spider would have landed on his head.
He scrambled over to the passenger seat and climbed out that door, ran back around to the driver side and whacked the spider away (don't hate - neither of us could have got back inside that car otherwise), and came inside to giggle hysterically in the lounge room. Then he went back outside again to check whether or not he'd left the headlights on in all the shock.
When at last he came back inside for good and sat down, we both started laughing, because from time to time we like to dream about moving to the country: a tree-change and a slower pace of life. And then a spider crawls across the windscreen of our car and we remember that we are literally the worst people in the world to ever attempt life in the country. Completely pathetic. Nature wimps.
But in our defence, "That was no Charlotte," Mr B said.

Nicola McLean "couldn't be happier" for Ched Evans after footballer is cleared of raping woman in a hotel
The 35-year-old reality star said she "got so much stick for standing up for what I believed in"
Zoe ShentonUS Showbiz Editor (Digital)
Nicola took to Twitter shortly after the verdict was read out
Nicola McLean has taken to Twitter to say she "couldn't be happier" for Ched Evans after he was found not guilty for raping a woman in a hotel.
Ched faced a retrial over the alleged attack on a 19-year-old woman at a Premier Inn in north Wales in May 2011 after having his original conviction overturned earlier this year.
A jury took two hours to clear the 27-year-old of one count of rape at Cardiff Crown Court today.
Shortly after the verdict was read, Nicola said she always believed he was innocent.
"I've said for the last 5 years Ched Evans is innocent! I got so much stick for standing up for what I believed in... I could not be happier for Ched and his family," she wrote on the social media site.
"Years of his life ruined it's a total shambles."
Following today's verdict, Ched thanked his fiancée for supporting him "in my darkest hour"
Outside court his solicitor Shaun Draycott delivered a short statement on his behalf, joined by Ched and his fiancée Natasha Massey.
The statement read: "I am overwhelmed with relief. I would like to thank my legal team.
"Thanks go to my friends and family, most notably, my fiancee Natasha who chose perhaps incredibly to support me in my darkest hour.

"While my innocence has been established I wholeheartedly apologise to anyone who might have been affected."
Evans was cleared after uncovering new evidence of his accuser's previous sexual history.
After the Wales international striker lost his first appeal four years ago his family employed private investigators to gather new evidence.

The Popular Food Served In Casinos Worldwide: Most Casino Restaurants
For a casino world critic, it is easy to dismiss casinos as just a place you go to gamble away your finances. That is far from the truth, though. From The Venetian to The Atlantis, there's so much more to casinos than playing games of chance. Not only are they revered as dream travel destinations, but they are also renowned for serving some of the most popular, mouth-watering cuisines. This post showcases some of the most popular casino destinations, featured restaurants, and the dishes they serve.
The Cosmopolitan, Las Vegas
There's so much you can do with $10. For one, you can rent a couple of movies and binge on them for hours if you are feeling bored. If you feel lucky, you can visit a ten-deposit casino website, which allows you to sign up and deposit as little as ten dollars to play various games. You might even get a playing time top-up in the form of a deposit or free spins bonus. Third, and finally, you could save it for the time you visit The Cosmopolitan in Vegas in the future. Here, 20+ restaurants such as Superfrico and Overlook Chill serve popular dishes such as Market Fish Piccata and Signature Fish Tacos.
Le Casino Monte Carlo, Monaco
This top tourist destination has a restaurant dual enough to entice any foodie. They include Le Salon Rose and Le Train Bleu. At the same time, the latter promises Italian flavors in Belle Époque-style, and the former interests visitors with a breathtaking Mediterranean view alongside local and overseas dishes. Visit Le Monte Carlo, and Richard Rubbini, the head chef in both restaurants, will wow you with formulas inspired by the live casino. Some of them include Blackjack (main course + dessert or cheese) and Poker (Pasta + Wine).
Wynn, Macau
The Wynn in Macau presents its cuisine offerings in three categories. These are Fine Dining, Casual Dining, and Bar & Lounges, presenting up to 14 destinations you can visit. Some of them include 99 Noddles, Mizumi, Wing Lei, and Golden Flower. Notably, most of these are Forbes Travel Guide Five-star award holders and home to star chefs Zhang Zhi Cheng, Hironori Maeda, and Nicholas Olivas. Treat your palette to a fusion of modern and customary dishes, such as the delicious braised fish maw on chicken broth. There's also a wide range of unique experiences, including Omakase, the Art of Kaiseki Gourmet Cuisine, and the classic Cantonese Feast.
Marina Bay Sands, Singapore
With 48 restaurants and bars, the named destination is one of the most epic destinations for food lovers. Visit a cafe casino tearoom such as Angelina for the MontBlanc, a classic made from beaten egg whites and chocolate alongside other tarts such as Éclair Chocolat. Or pop in at the good-vibe Beanstro for Red Snapper Fish & Chips, Tiger Prawns Aglio Olio, and the delicious Classic Bugger. If you are looking for a fusion of contemporary, old-timey flavors and styles, there is Blossom. Browse the menu, and you will find reworkings of popular foods from around the world, such as Chilean Cod.
The Atlantis, Bahamas
The feasting options at The Atalantis in The Bahamas are as diverse as the casino resort itself. Up to 21 restaurants are open for exploring, offering breakfast, lunch, and dinner servings. Besides Starbucks, you can visit Plato's, which is renowned for its large screens ideal for catching up on your favorite sports. There's also Burger Shack, which, as the name suggests, serves tasty burgers before you head down to Mayan Cart for a healthy treat.
The Venetian, Las Vegas
The Venetian is another casino tourist destination with varied dining options. With 60 restaurants to choose from, there are options for virtually anything you can think of, from celebrity chefs to happy hour. Some of the featured restaurants here include Wakuda, Miznon, and Brera osteria. Visit to get treated to Japanese delicacies, street-food favorites, and Italian cuisine.
As you can see, the richness of the casino universe when it comes to culinary matters is virtually unfathomable. Nearly every top casino destination features several restaurants, each with unique and interesting dishes to serve. It is also important to mention that it is customary for casinos to serve their customers drinks and snacks as they enjoy playing games.

"After her father's death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all." Similarly with Mathild in "the necklace", all she does is criticize the life she is living. She focuses on what she does not have; which is the money, being wealthy, and belonging to a higher class, instead of being grateful to the wonderful loving husband she has, who dedicated his life for her and would sacrifice everything for her. Mathild isolates herself from the outer world by staying home the whole time and despises the way she was born in a poor family. Mauppasant specified these descriptions for Mathild to explain to the reader that unhappiness leads to an unfortunate life. "Her tastes were simple because she had never been able to afford any other, but she was as unhappy." The two stories come together to emphasize the point that no matter what you given in life, you ought to be grateful for it. The authors are trying to send a message through their stories, stating that even though in life one would think they have few things in life, it will always mean so much to someone else. Satisfaction is the key to a happy life.

IFJ Welcomes India's Decision to Shelve Broadcast Code for Emergencies
Federation of Journalists (IFJ) welcomes a clarification by Indian Prime
Minister Manmohan Singh that his Government has no immediate intention of
introducing a statutory code for broadcast news channels in designated
"emergency" situations.
India's Ministry of Information and
Broadcasting (MIB) had reportedly prepared a code requiring news channels to
carry only pre-authorised content during situations notified as "emergencies".
The issue became a serious concern with the MIB following the live coverage of
the November 26 attacks in Mumbai and the 60-hour siege of three buildings in
the city.
"The IFJ recognises the public
concerns that have arisen about the live coverage of such attacks," Jacqueline
Park, IFJ Asia-Pacific Director,
"But the IFJ's view is that India's
broadcast media is stepping up to the challenge of self-regulation and will evolve
a satisfactory code of conduct even for such extraordinary situations."
Official compulsions clashed with
the unfettered right of broadcasters on several occasions during the Mumbai
coverage. On the evening of November 28, as the Mumbai siege approached the
48-hour mark, police ordered all channels to cease live coverage. This
apparently was because a Hindi news channel established live phone contact with
the gunmen who had commandeered one of the three buildings.
The ban on live coverage was
quickly rescinded. But after the siege ended, the channel was issued a notice
demanding an explanation of its conduct. A committee of the upper house of India's
Parliament called for statutory regulations on the media "in the larger
interest of society", since it believed competition among news channels made
self-regulation a distant prospect.
India's Chief Justice also commented
that the "symbolic impact of terrorist attacks" had been "considerably
amplified by the role of pervasive media coverage". The "proliferation of
24-hour TV news channels and the digital medium" ensured that "disturbing
images and statements reach a very wide audience". The Chief Justice said "unrestrained
coverage" may have the effect of "provoking anger amongst the masses" and fuelling
"an irrational desire for retribution".
A consortium of India's most
prominent news channels has since formulated a code of conduct for emergency
situations that emphasises the "public interest" as the vital touchstone.
The MIB nevertheless continued with its effort
to work out a statutory code and had reportedly drafted amendments to be
notified by ordinance to India's
cable TV law.
"The Prime Minister's clarification that the
law will not be put into operation is welcome," Ms Park said. "But the IFJ urges
the broadcast industry to engage in a dialogue with the journalists' community
and civil society to evolve a code that will serve the public interest in all
contingencies."

Most people probably don't make wishlists for an apartment entranceway. I get that. I totally get that. But I am someone who not only thinks a lot about the items they would like immediately beside their front door, but also someone who formulates a little collage featuring said items. And then blogs about it.
I think of entranceways as your immediate look into a person's home, and for that reason it can be pretty important! It's your first impression and can set the tone for the rest of your spaces. Why not fill it with adorable things?

Tag Archives: Paris Climate Accord
The US withdrawal from the Paris climate accord will hit Africa the hardest: Quartz Media report
African countries contribute little to the world's greenhouse gas emissions but, along with island nations, they still bear the brunt of global warming. Seven out of the world's 10 countries considered the most threatened by climate change are in Africa.
Temperatures are expected to increase 2°C by the last two decades of this century, a scenario that would put over half of the continent's population at risk of undernourishment. Already, some 20 million people in South Sudan, Somalia, and Nigeria are at risk of starving to death. Researchers believe rising temperatures contribute to an increase in conflict.
US president Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from the Paris climate accords, an agreement signed by 195 countries, including all 55 African countries, is likely to make this worse. Trump has promised to "stop all payments of US tax dollars to UN global warming programs." Under the Paris accords, developed countries like the US were to contribute to a $100 billion annual fund for developing countries by 2020.
African countries especially need these funds to expand clean energy and deal with climate change. By 2050, the costs of adapting to climate change may cost the continent as much as $50 billion a year, according to a report from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). That's assuming international efforts keep global warming below 2°C this century continue.
How African countries deal with climate change is also important to the survival of the accord. As African cities and populations expand the continent's global share of emissions is expected to grow from 2% to 3% by 2040. The Paris agreement now accounts for 65% of all emissions, compared to more than 80% with the US.
Coastal African cities most at risk of flooding, due to the rise in sea level are:
Abijan (Cote d'Ivoire); Lagos (Nigeria); Cape Town and Durban (South Africa); Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) and the coastal cities of North Africa, such as Alexandria, Casablanca, Tripoli and Tunis.
Other parts of Africa are at risk of rising temperatures and drought.

Deranged And Deluded: The Media's Complicity In The Climate Crisis
In an important recent book, the Indian writer Amitav Ghosh refers to the present era of corporate-driven climate crisis as 'The Great Derangement'. For almost 12,000 years, since the last Ice Age, humanity has lived through a period of relative climate stability known as the Holocene. When Homo sapiens shifted, for the most part, from a nomadic hunter-gatherer existence to an agriculture-based life, towns and cities grew, humans went into space and the global population shot up to over seven billion people.
Today, many scientists believe that we have effectively entered a new geological era called the Anthropocene during which human activities have 'started to have a significant global impact on Earth's geology and ecosystems'. Indeed, we are now faced with severe, human-induced climate instability and catastrophic loss of species: the sixth mass extinction in four-and-a-half billion years of geological history, but the only one to have been caused by us.
Last Thursday, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists moved their symbolic Doomsday Clock forward thirty seconds, towards apocalypse. It is now two and a half minutes to midnight, the closest since 1953. Historically, the Doomsday Clock represented the threat of nuclear annihilation. But global climate change is now also recognised as an 'extreme danger'.
Future generations, warns Ghosh, may well look back on this time and wonder whether humanity was deranged to continue on a course of business-as-usual. In fact, many people alive today already think so. It has become abundantly clear that governments largely pay only lip service to the urgent need to address global warming (or dismiss it altogether), while they pursue policies that deepen climate chaos. As climate writer and activist Bill McKibben points out, President Trump has granted senior energy and environment positions in his administration to men who:
'know nothing about science, but they love coal and oil and gas – they come from big carbon states like Oklahoma and Texas, and their careers have been lubed and greased with oil money.'
Rex Tillerson, Trump's US Secretary of State, is the former chairman and CEO of oil giant, ExxonMobil. He once told his shareholders that cutting oil production is 'not acceptable for humanity', adding: 'What good is it to save the planet if humanity suffers?'
As for Obama's 'legacy' on climate, renowned climate scientist James Hansen only gives him a 'D' grade. Obama had had a 'golden opportunity'. But while he had said 'the right words', he had avoided 'the fundamental approach that's needed'. Contrast this with the Guardian view on Obama's legacy that he had 'allowed America to be a world leader on climate change'. Writer Ian Sinclair noted the stark discrepancy between Obama's actual record on climate and fawning media comment, notably by the BBC and the Guardian:
'Despite the liberal media's veneration of the former US president, Obama did very little indeed to protect the environment.'
And so while political 'leaders' refuse to change course to avoid disaster, bankers and financial speculators continue to risk humanity's future for the sake of making money; fossil fuel industries go on burning the planet; Big Business consumes and pollutes ecosystems; wars, 'interventions' and arms deals push the strategic aims of geopolitical power, all wrapped in newspeak about 'peace', 'security' and 'democracy'; and corporate media promote and enable it all, deeply embedded and complicit as they are. The 'Great Derangement' indeed.
Consider, for example, the notorious US-based Koch Brothers who, as The Real News Network notes, 'have used their vast wealth to ensure the American political system takes no action on climate change.' Climate scientist Michael Mann is outspoken:
'They have polluted our public discourse. They have skewed media coverage of the science of climate change. They have paid off politicians.'
He continues:
'The number of lives that will be lost because of the damaging impacts of climate change – in the hundreds of millions. […] To me, it's not just a crime against humanity, it's a crime against the planet.'
But the Koch Brothers are just the tip of a state-corporate system that is on course to drive Homo sapiens towards a terminal catastrophe.
Earlier this month, the world's major climate agencies confirmed 2016 as the hottest since modern records began. The global temperature is now 1C higher than preindustrial times, and the last three years have seen the record broken successively – the first time this has happened.
Towards the end of 2016, scientists reported 'extraordinarily hot' Arctic conditions. Danish and US researchers were 'surprised and alarmed by air temperatures peaking at what they say is an unheard-of 20C higher than normal for the time of year.' One of the scientists said:
'These temperatures are literally off the charts for where they should be at this time of year. It is pretty shocking.'
Another researcher emphasised:
'This is faster than the models. It is alarming because it has consequences.'
These 'consequences' will be terrible. Scientists have warned that increasingly rapid Arctic ice melt 'could trigger uncontrollable climate change at global level'.
It gets worse. A new study suggests that global warming is on course to raise global sea level by between six and nine metres, wiping out coastal cities and settlements around the world. Mann describes the finding, with classic scientific understatement, as 'sobering' and adds that:
'we may very well already be committed to several more metres of sea level rise when the climate system catches up with the carbon dioxide we've already pumped into the atmosphere'.
It gets worse still.
The Paris Climate Accord of 2015 repeated the international commitment to keep global warming below 2C. Even this limited rise would threaten life as we know it. When around a dozen climate scientists were asked for their honest opinion as to whether this target could be met, not one of them thought it likely. Bill McGuire, professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London, was most adamant:
'there is not a cat in hell's chance [of keeping below 2C].'
But wait, because there's even worse news. Global warming could well be happening so fast that it's 'game over'. The Earth's climate could be so sensitive to greenhouse gases that we may be headed for a temperature rise of more than 7C within a lifetime. Mark Lynas, author of the award-winning book, Six Degrees: Our Future on a Hotter Planet, was 'shocked' by the researchers' study, describing it as 'the apocalyptic side of bad'.
Burying The Climate Issue
Given all of the above, what does it say about the British government that it should bury an alarming report about the likely impacts of climate change on the UK? These impacts include:
'the doubling of the deaths during heatwaves, a "significant risk" to supplies of food and the prospect of infrastructure damage from flooding.'
At a time of manufactured fear by 'mainstream' media about 'fake news' and 'post-truth' politics, how divorced from reality is the government when it would rather ignore such an important report, far less address seriously the urgent truth of climate chaos?
An exclusive article in the Independent noted that the climate report made virtually no impact when it was published on the government website of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) on 18 January:
'despite its undoubted importance, Environment Secretary Andrea Leadsom made no speech and did not issue her own statement, and even the Defra Twitter account was silent. No mainstream media organisation covered the report.'
The government said in the ignored report that climate change meant that 'urgent priorities' needed to be addressed, including a dramatic rise in heat-related deaths, coastal flooding and 'significant risks to the availability and supply of food in the UK'. So, lip service at least. But Bob Ward, policy and communications director at the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment in London, said he was 'astonished' that the government had done so little to publicise the report:
'It's almost as if they were trying to sneak it out without people realising.'
Leading politicians, intelligence chiefs and their media allies are forever warning the British public of 'security threats' which are so often blowback from Western foreign policy; or the warnings are overhyped claims to justify their own fearmongering agendas. But when it comes to the greatest threat of all – climate change – they are remarkably silent. This exposes as a lie the rhetoric from government and security services that they are motivated by genuine concern for the well-being of the population. The truth is that powerful forces are always driven primarily by the desire to preserve and boost their own interests, their own profits, their own dominance.
Amitav Ghosh rightly notes that the most powerful states derive their privileged position in large part by sitting atop a world-threatening carbon economy:
'The fact is that we live in a world that has been profoundly shaped by empire and its disparities. Differentials of power between and within nations are probably greater today than they have ever been. These differentials are, in turn, closely related to carbon emissions. The distribution of power in the world therefore lies at the core of the climate crisis.' (Ghosh, 'The Great Derangement', University of Chicago Press, 2016, p. 146; our emphasis)
Tackling climate change thus means tackling global inequity. This requires a deep-rooted commitment to not just 'a redistribution of wealth but also to a recalibration of global power'. He makes the crucial point that:
'from the point of view of a security establishment that is oriented towards the maintenance of global dominance, this is precisely the scenario that is most greatly to be feared; from this perspective the continuance of the status quo is the most desirable of outcomes.' (Ibid., p. 143; our emphasis)
The Myth Of 'Fearless and Free Journalism'
The 'mainstream' media is not somehow separate from this state-corporate status quo, selflessly and valiantly providing a neutral window into what powerful sectors in society are doing. Instead, the major news media are an intrinsic component of this system run for the benefit of elites. The media are, in effect, the public relations wing of a planetary-wide network of exploitation, abuse and destruction. The climate crisis is the gravest symptom of this dysfunctional global apparatus.
News reporting on the economy, for instance, is typically divorced from reporting on the climate crisis. Judging by the lack of attention given to climate in last year's Autumn Statement, whether by Chancellor Philip Hammond himself or the media dutifully reporting on it, the global warming emergency had miraculously gone away. It is as if there are two separate planets: one where 'the economy' happens; and another one, the real world, which is beset by catastrophic climate change.
Some readers will say: 'But surely the best media – the likes of the BBC, the Guardian and Channel 4 News – report climate science honestly and accurately?' Yes, to a large extent, they do a good job in reporting the science (though the BBC has often been guilty of 'false balance' on climate). But they rarely touch the serious, radical measures needed to address the climate crisis, or the nature and extent of the climate denial 'Beast'. This is taboo; not least because it would raise awkward questions about rampant neoliberalism addressed, for example, by Naomi Klein in her books The Shock Doctrine and This Changes Everything.
As Ghosh also observes, capitalism and imperialism are intertwined as primary drivers of the climate crisis. But when did a BBC environment, economics or business correspondent ever report this truth? Their silence is shameful; all the more so for their avowed responsibility to the public who funds them. Even the very fact 'that we live in a world that has been profoundly shaped by empire and its disparities… remains largely unacknowledged.' (Ibid., p. 146). It is certainly not acknowledged by the BBC and the rest of the major news media for which the public is supposed to be grateful. The BBC still reflects its origins in empire and the establishment while proclaiming falsely its 'independence' and 'impartiality'. Consider, for example, that Sir David Clementi, former deputy governor of Bank of England, has just been confirmed as the new BBC chair. This, in a nutshell, is how the state-corporate media system operates. A former banker will become the new chair of the 'independent' BBC, appointed by the government. This is all part of the fiction of 'media plurality', 'impartiality' and 'freedom' from 'political interference'.
Even when the Guardian recently ran a live page on climate change on the day that President Trump took office, with a follow-up titled, 'So you want to be a climate campaigner? Here's how', the paper's compromised worldview was all too apparent. The top of the Guardian's website proudly proclaimed:
'With climate sceptics moving into the White House, the Guardian will spend the next 24 hours focusing on the climate change happening right now, and what we can do to help protect the planet.'
But you would have searched in vain for any in-depth analysis of how Big Business, together with co-opted governments, have hurled massive resources at stifling any real progress towards tackling climate change, and 'what we can do' about that. In particular, there was no Guardian commitment to drop any – never mind all – fossil-fuel advertising revenue. The proposal to reject ads from 'environmental villains' had been put to the paper by its own columnist George Monbiot in 2009, following a challenge from Media Lens. It got nowhere. Significantly, the Guardian's 'focused' climate coverage once again steered clear of its own questionable behaviour and its structural ties to elite money and power. Meanwhile, the paper continues to be riddled with ads promoting carbon emissions – notably short-haul flights and cars – ironically appearing right beside articles about dangerous global warming.
Even as such glaring contradictions, omissions and silences become ever more apparent to Guardian readers, the paper is ramping up its appeals for readers to dip into their pockets. When Trump triumphed in the US election last November, Lee Glendinning, the editor of Guardian US, pleaded:
'Never has the world needed independent journalism more. […] Now is the time to support journalism that is both fearless and free.'
She deployed standard, self-serving Guardian rhetoric:
'Because the Guardian is not beholden to profit-seeking shareholders or a billionaire owner, we can pursue stories without fear of where they might take us, free from commercial and political influence.'
In repeatedly churning out the myth about the Guardian being 'free from commercial and political influence', any public doubts about its pure nature are supposed to be dispelled. But there comes a point where the readers know their intelligence is being insulted. And we are now well past that point.
The Guardian's complicit role as a liberal gatekeeper of truth will not – cannot – be honestly addressed by the Guardian itself; nor by the well-rewarded journalists and commentators who appear regularly in its pages.
The current era of 'great derangement' will last as long as the public allows news and debate to be manipulated by a state-corporate media system that is complicit in killing the planet. We urgently need to consider alternatives for the sake of humanity.
