(EN) Just outside of the Florence city walls, Emiliano and Carlotta have recently moved to a spacious apartment in an area full of radical 1960s architecture. Their old apartment, with its soaring views of the city from the rooftop terrace, was located a stone's throw from the Duomo. I had told them that they were crazy to leave that flat, but when you enter their new apartment, you understand the appeal of the calm and peaceful space.
(EN) In true FVF style I met Emiliano through my friends Gnam Box in Milan, when he was their first "chef at home".
(EN) Tell me about your love of Florence.
(EN) Emiliano: We were both born here, and Carlotta's family goes back generations. My grandfather was from Hungary, but I feel Florentine through and through. We couldn't imagine living anywhere else – this is our home, and it's a beautiful place to call home.
(EN) You used to live in a wonderful apartment in the center of the city.
(EN) Emiliano: That was my bachelor pad. (laughs) I was there for over 10 years, but we needed to move, so now we are renting it out.
(EN) Has the transition been smooth? Don't you miss that fantastic rooftop terrace that you had at your previous apartment?
(EN) Emiliano: Of course! We had dinner every night on the terrace with friends. It had such amazing views and there was the breeze that came down from Fiesole, which is important in a city that is known as the hottest and most humid in Italy. But our lives changed, and there were other things we needed which became more important. My work grew, Carlotta wanted to teach at home, so we took nine months to find this place. Yes, it doesn't have the terrace, but we have space, and I love the area and these cool apartment buildings from the 1960s. We are still close to the center but it's so quiet here, and our dog, Oliver, is so happy to relax on the marble floor. It's 38°C outside today, and in here it feels fresh.
(EN) How is it to work at home together?
(EN) Emiliano: Actually, it's really relaxing. Our jobs are quite different. When I'm at home, I'm usually on the computer, and Carlotta is playing or studying, so it's like having the radio on, and generally, depending on the student, the music is good. There is the odd student who starts off quite badly, but I just sit here quietly laughing, and it's nice to realize they are progressing and getting better week by week.
(EN) Your work places strong value on quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design, but in visiting you here, there's a sense of playfulness as well – your home is full of toys! What's the connection?
(EN) Emiliano: They are NOT toys! (laughs) This is an old passion of mine. I was in love with Japan when I was a kid. I was crazy about manga, so when I was old enough, I went to Japan alone and spent a few months there. I love to collect things and I love the attention to detail that is practised in the Japanese arts.
(EN) Below are some of the fabulous designs and accents from Studiopretzel's Spring/Summer 2015/2016 collections, pushing Emiliano's playful flair for bright colors and wild patterns.
(EN) It's impossible not to notice the beautiful objects – that vase, for example – that you have placed in your home and that contribute to the atmosphere here. Where do you find items like these?
(EN) Carlotta: The vase is by a friend of mine, Britta Hermann, who designs and makes a range of handmade ceramics called Mani, which means "hands" in Italian. She has a studio not far away in the hills, in a town called Montelupo. We really like to support young local talents and craftsmen, and we are very lucky to live in a place where a lot of young people are investing themselves into traditional crafts and arts and beginning new companies and projects. With such a history of art here in Florence, we also have many theater groups or artists making spectacular work.
(EN) You have a lot of original artwork, as well.
(EN) Emiliano: I'm a big fan of art, design, architecture and reading, and we both like to collect. We moved to the area because we liked the style of the buildings in the neighborhood, and this house lends itself perfectly to our hobby as collectors, with its clean walls as the ideal backdrop to my ever-increasing assortment of things. I have more artwork in the other house. But some items are so big that we need help to bring them here. We will get there, bit by bit.
(EN) And these prints over here look the same as your tattoos. Is there a story behind that?
(EN) Emiliano: Yes, the prints are by a good friend of ours, Simone Rucco, who lives here in Florence. He's a young artist, originally from Rome, who has become one of the most interesting tattoo artists here in Italy, in under two years. And as you can see, I like to collect tattoos.
(EN) You have your Studiopretzel collection here, but you don't make the clothes here, is that right?
(EN) Emiliano: Yes, here is just my office. I work very closely with two studios in Prato and Pontassieve. Together, we make the patterns, and they are also the artisans who produce the collections. We source all the fabrics locally, too.
(EN) I can imagine. It must be a dream to live here in Florence – the city is incredibly beautiful.
(EN) Carlotta: Yes absolutely! We are in the middle of Italy. Within a few hours, we can be in Rome, Venice or Milan. We are also in the middle of some of the most beautiful countryside in the world and only one hour from the sea. The city is small, so you can get anywhere in a short time, either walking or by bike. There is a really slow, relaxed pace of life here, and Florence is full of parks. We love to take Oliver to the Giardino Ortocultura, about a 10-minute walk from here, which has an amazing view across the city. We go often, even if Oliver is a little bit lazy and would like to stay home most of the time, which is especially true in this heat.
(EN) for the refreshing time spent in your home. To check out the latest designs from Emiliano, browse through Studiopretzel's website and their current collections.

Deals with Peru, Chile progressing
Bangkok Post, Thailand
By Nareerat Wiriyapong
BIG SKY, MONTANA : The delayed free-trade area agreement between Thailand and Peru is likely to take effect in November, while an FTA with Chile should be concluded by mid-2012, says the Commerce Ministry.
The Thailand-Peru FTA is expected to be proposed to the new parliament in early October, she said, noting that Peru also is waiting for the outcome of its presidential election on June 5.
"Once the agreement is endorsed by parliament, the early-harvest programme that was already signed by the two countries should be implemented shortly, tentatively in November," Ms Srirat said.
The early harvest programme covers 5,962 products, representing 70% of goods traded between the two countries. Thai products that stand to benefit include pickup trucks, auto parts, rubber, plastic and home appliances, especially washing machines.
Thailand aims to expand the agreement with Peru into a complete FTA at a later stage, she said after meetings with Peruvian counterparts on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (Apec) meeting.
Ms Srirat will travel to Chile after the Apec talks for a new round of FTA talks there. The pact with Chile will not have an early-harvest programme but is intended to be a comprehensive FTA that includes investment and service sector liberalisation.
Thailand and Chile have economies that complement each other. Chile has ample natural resources such as copper, minerals and wood used by Thai industries, Ms Srirat said.
Large Thai producers are eager for a pact with Chile because their plastic products cannot compete with those from the US, Korea, and China, she noted.
"Chile has a very open economy that is integrated with other Pacific allies including Peru, Panama and Colombia," she said. "There is growing demand from middle-class consumers in Chile for Thai products and the country could be a gateway to others in Latin America."
In 2010, bilateral trade with Chile totalled US$818.9 million, with Thailand enjoying a surplus of $209.4 million.

Saint Leo University Athletics
33701 State Road 52 Saint Leo, FL 33574
Division 2 Florida Southeast
Private Small Competitive team
Caitlin Hansen
Caitlin Hansen was named the second head coach in Saint Leo women's lacrosse history by Director of Athletics Francis X. Reidy in June 2017.
In her first year at the helm, Hansen led the Lions' to a program best season start showcasing six-straight wins. Under her leadership, Saint Leo closed the 2018 season with an overall record of 11-6, 2-4 mark in the Sunshine State Conference (SSC). On March 14, she saw the Lions' earn the program's first-ever national ranking by US Lacrosse, naming Saint Leo No. 19 among Division II competition. Saint Leo continued to grab national attention, climbing to No. 15 on April 4. Hansen saw multiple school records fall in both the game and season categories among a handful of career milestones reached by her student-athletes. To wrap up the inaugural year, Saint Leo earned three SSC All-Conference honors.
Hansen came to Saint Leo from Johnson & Wales University in Providence, R.I., where served as the head coach for four seasons, after taking over the Wildcats' club program. She capped that run by leading JWU to a 16-5 record in 2017, including a 9-0 conference record and the Great Northeast Athletic Conference championship. The Wildcats advanced to their first NCAA tournament berth, after earning the No. 11 ranking in the New England regional poll.
Hansen was tabbed as the 2017 GNAC Women's Lacrosse Coach of the Year, with nine Wildcat players, all recruited by Hansen, receiving All-GNAC honors. The 2017 player honors also included GNAC Goalkeeper of the Year for junior Marianna Consiglio, while senior Lydia Knapp was the only player out of the conference named to the All-Region squad.
Over her four years at the helm of Johnson & Wales women's lacrosse, Hansen posted a 50-23 (.685) overall record as head coach.
Hansen has also served as a coach with the Team Elevate New England club women's lacrosse program since 2013. Based out of Providence, Team Elevate is one of the nation's top club lacrosse organizations.
Prior to accepting the position at Johnson & Wales, Hansen served as an assistant coach at her alma mater, Bryant University for the 2009 through 2011 seasons. During that span, Bryant reclassified from Division II to Division I and joined the Northeast Conference, with Hansen assisting with on- and off-campus recruiting, practice preparation, game film breakdown and opponent scouting reports, and travel logistics.
Hansen also worked in the Bryant Admissions office from 2011 to 2013, recruiting prospective students from New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and western Massachusetts.
Hansen is a 2008 graduate of Bryant University with a degree in Communications and was a four-year letterwinner with the women's lacrosse program. A 2007 All-Region honoree, Hansen was a two-time All-Northeast 10 selection and three-times named to the Academic All-Conference team. She is tied for second among Bryant's all-time (DI + DII) points leaders with 195, and is third among all-time goals leaders with 161.

LSU coach Les Miles lifted the suspensions of quarterback Anthony Jennings, defensive lineman Maquedius Bain and defensive back Dwayne Thomas Friday after East Baton Rouge Parish District Attorney Hillar Moore III decided against filing formal charges.
LSU sports information director Michael Bonnette confirmed Miles decision to reinstate the players, who are now free to join teammates for the start of fall camp. The team is scheduled to report Wednesday and practice is set to begin Thursday.
Miles did not make a statement but the emailed press release issued by Bonnette said the players would "undergo further in-house discipline."
Five LSU players have been arrested in 2015. Former Tiger defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao was dismissed from the squad after his arrest the same day as Jennings, Bain and Thomas, for simple battery and simple robbery in an unrelated incident.
Offensive lineman Jevonte Domond remains suspended after his arrest for felony batter and domestic abuse, including strangulation in an incident with his girlfriend.
It's the third consecutive offseason marred by a player arrest. Running back Jeremy Hill pleaded guilty to second degree battery in 2013, and defensive back Jalen Mills was arrested for the same charge in May of 2014.
Hill was found by a judge to not be in violation of his probation on the first day of fall camp and joined the team that afternoon. Mills had his charge reduced to simple battery and Miles lifted his suspension the same day.
Lealaimatafao allegedly punched a woman and tried to take her purse. He has since transferred to Arizona Western Community College.


Gary Jennings is currently considered a "single author." If one or more works are by a distinct, homonymous authors, go ahead and split the author.
Gary Jennings is composed of 5 names. You can examine and separate out names.

Little progress made on targeting incidences of foodborne illness, according to new CDC report
by Jesse Hirsch
04.25.2019, 4:23pm
Pixnio/Melanie Moser
Salmonella, campylobacter, E. coli, and cyclospora cases all increased in frequency last year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday released a report containing preliminary data on incidences of foodborne illness between the years 2013 and 2018. The most commonly reported foodborne pathogens increased in number last year, including salmonella, campylobacter, and E. coli. Additionally, cases of cyclospora—a parasite more commonly found in tropical regions—spiked by 399 percent.
Data in the report were compiled from the Foodborne Diseases Active Surveillance Network (aka FoodNet), CDC's online tool for compiling and monitoring cases of foodborne illness across the country. In 2018, FoodNet identified 25,606 infections, 5,893 hospitalizations, and 120 deaths.
Incidences of campylobacter, a bacteria most commonly linked to chicken, have been on the rise since 2013. Though maybe not as well-publicized as salmonella and E. coli, there were 9,723 cases reported in 2018, an increase of 12 percent from the year prior. This led to 1,811 hospitalizations and 30 deaths.
Leafy greens and chicken were the biggest source of foodborne illness in 2018.
"The symptoms of campylobacter can be equally serious to those of salmonella and E. coli," says CDC epidemiologist Danielle Tack, lead author on the report. "In some cases it can even lead to Guillain-Barré syndrome," a relatively uncommon autoimmune disorder that can cause paralysis.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, leafy greens and chicken were the biggest source of foodborne illness in 2018; you likely heard of at least one of the major outbreaks last year. Ground beef wasn't mentioned in the report, though there were multiple outbreaks related to it in 2018 (and two announced just this week, prompting a total recall of 166,200 pounds of beef over two days).
The report noted that salmonella incidences have not decreased in a decade, despite some proactive measures put in place by industry and regulatory agencies. Tack says this lack of progress is in part due to the continued emergence of different salmonella strains. "Just when we have one strain largely addressed, another type of salmonella sneaks up," she says. "It's kind of a balancing act."
The parasite cyclospora is biologically distinct from bacteria, in that it relies on a host to survive. In the United States, cyclospora cases often increase each summer, in conjunction with more imported produce being distributed in the Midwest. But CDC's report indicates these cases are significantly increasing. (The first incident of U.S.-grown produce being definitively linked to cyclospora occurred last September.)
One remaining question: Are foodborne illness outbreaks actually increasing or have our detection and data collection methods simply improved? According to Thomas Gremillion, director of food policy at the Consumer Federation of America, this question has been persistently difficult to nail down. "No matter whether things are actually unsafer, or if we are just in a better position now to detect [foodborne pathogens], this report shows consumers need more effective protections against contaminated food," he says.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of 8 weeks of concurrent training on serum leptin levels, body composition, and lipid profiles of inactive men with overweight.
Materials & Methods: Thirty young men with an average age of 19 to 25 years old and an average body mass index of 25 to 28 kg / m2 were randomly divided into three groups: Concurrent, intermittent aerobics - sauna, continuous aerobic - sauna and exercise strength- sauna (each group was 10). The subjects performed 3 sessions of aerobic and strength training per week on individual days, and then 2 sessions per week, supplementing the sauna program on twenty days for 20 -30 minutes in a dry bath with a temperature of 80 degrees Celsius. Blood samples were taken from subjects in fasting mode in two stages, 72 hours before and after 8 weeks of training. Serum lipid profiles, leptin and body composition were evaluated by ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc test.
Findings: The results showed a significant decrease after exercise aerobic exercise, continuous aerobic exercise and baseline strength training, serum levels of leptin, total cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, lipoprotein a and body fat percent (p≤0.05). And high density lipoprotein cholesterol (p <0.05). These changes were more frequent in the aerobic exercise group, continuity and strength, but this difference was not significant between the groups (p≤0.05).
Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that continuous aerobic exercise, continuation and strength training simultaneously with the sauna had a favorable effect on lipid profile and body composition and serum leptin concentrations. These changes were more common in the aerobic training group.

Saginaw Valley State University will welcome nearly 5,000 high school students from across Michigan for the statewide FIRST Robotics competition Wednesday, April 12 through Saturday, April 15. Including professional mentors and family members, an estimated 7,500 people will descend on the Great Lakes Bay Region for the competition, which is designed to inspire students to pursue careers in the STEM fields: science, technology, engineering and math.
SVSU President Donald Bachand said hosting the FIRST Robotics competition is a good fit for SVSU academically.
The competition will feature 160 high school teams, which average 30 students and four professional mentors per team. Practice sessions and robot repairs will take place in SVSU's field house, while competition events will be held in O'Neill Arena of the Ryder Center. Both facilities are part of SVSU's athletic complex.
The Great Lakes Bay Regional Convention and Visitors Bureau, which provided assistance to allow SVSU to host the event, estimates the competition will result in direct spending of $1.2 million in the region. The event previously was held in Grand Rapids, but outgrew the facility as student participation has increased.
"SVSU presents us with more space and an absolutely beautiful facility," Alpert said.
FIRST Robotics teams that qualify for the state finals will arrive Wednesday, April 12 for inspection. The qualifying rounds of competition will take place throughout the day Thursday, April 13 and Friday, April 14 with 40 teams in four separate divisions. A total of 32 teams will advance to the playoff rounds Saturday, April 15 with the champion crowned that afternoon.
Leading regional employers such as The Dow Chemical Company and Nexteer Automotive are among the companies actively involved with FIRST Robotics, and a significant number of schools in the region field teams, including a first-year team from the Great Lakes Bay Early College at SVSU. For more information about FIRST in Michigan, visit www.firstinmichigan.org.

"I don't think it's a classic."
On September 19, 2016, the world-at-large took to social media with an outpour of gratitude towards Lupe Fiasco.
The day marked the 10th anniversary of his stellar debut album Food & Liquor. It was a project that was surely ahead of its time in 2006, introducing the hip hop community to skateboarding ("Kick Push"), tackling the misconceptions of Islam in America head on ("American Terrorist"), and opposing fake, label-driven music ("Real").
However, the rapper himself doesn't hold the record to the same pedestal as many. "I don't think it's a classic to be honest," he said in an hour-long podcast uploaded to his Soundcloud entitled "Ten Yurrs Layda." While Fiasco doesn't go into extreme detail on why he feels that way, he does explain that the album wasn't an isolated moment for him, revealing that Lasers, his third album, sold more units. "This album set the tone for me being an underdog," he continued. Nevertheless, he did show genuine appreciation to those like Meek Mill, who have cited the album as a soundscape that set the tone for their rhyming aspirations.
In the podcast, Fiasco also discusses everything from Jay Z's role as executive producer, the album's artwork, and the inception of some of the songs like the Grammy Award-winning "Daydreamin'." While he admits there's a lot he doesn't remember, many of the gem-like details he touched will make a true Lupe Fiasco beam with pure excitement and take them back to the day they gave Food & Liquor an inaugural spin.

Excellence Award - Bye Buy
Excellence Award
Bye Buy
Neil BRYANT
Video work [United Kingdom]
Bye Buy is a video work that mixes archive footage from the high point of the consumer and consumerism of the 1950s and 1960s, and composites th is wi th contemporary imagery, signs and coding of the present. The scenes, objects and images seem familiar but are distorted, out of time, f rom a world that is no longer ours. The work playfully explores how the mediated representations of capitalism and consumerism were seen in the past and now can be seen as naïve, outmoded and inadequate. The exaggerated size of the characters' eyes infers a primitive instinctive need to consume, being in a state of hunger that cannot be satisfied, while the bar codes represent a structure, a system that is hidden to us, unless we choose to look. We are ourselves consumed in this system and are complicit in our consumption and the consumptionof others.
© Neil BRYANT
Neil BRYANT is a UK-based artist primarily working with video. His work has screened both nationally and internationally. The focus of his work is to explore the tension between mediated signs and informing and reflecting cultural meaning.
Award Reason
As a means of transforming them into familiar yet unfamiliar creatures, the artist enlarges the eyes of all the people in these images. Perhaps he is using the sort of image processing technology found in photo-sticker booths to automatically enlarge facial features recognized as "eyes." The big-eyed humans are smiling and holding cosmetics, ice cream, or other consumer goods. Their eyes give them the appearance of people bloated with desires due to immersion in a consumerist culture. Yet, perhaps because the images are from old black-and-white commercials, the remoteness of this world, with its aura of another country, era, and culture, affords one a distinctive stance of viewing this fiction with an air of detachment. That sense of distance is appealing. Eye-enlargement is a simple idea, but the uniqueness of the conception and the penetrating clarity of its execution together produce impressive results.

From Lombard Street to Easy Street
The old adage about how to succeed in banking was the formula of '3-6-3': borrow at 3%, lend at 6% and get onto the golf course by 3 o'clock. Oh how quaint and distant such times feel to us now, with the economy still suffering from the fall-out of a banking crisis for which no-one involved seems particularly willing to accept responsibility.
What would be the modern banking formula? It seems more like 0-15-7 – get money for almost nothing, lend it at double-digit rates (in all probability with nasty conditions attached) and trouser your 7-figure "performance-related" bonus at the end of the year. To those of us who have attempted at any point to earn a crust entirely off our own bat, the self-delusion of senior bankers who describe themselves as 'entrepreneurs', 'risk-takers' and 'wealth-creators' would be laughable if it were not so costly to the real enterprise economy. Reward and risk are supposed to go hand in hand – this is at the heart of capitalism. Banks reap the profits but are protected from losses by the broad shoulders of the taxpayer.
But then banking is anything but a normal and competitive free market. The bailout demonstrated this to dramatic effect – Woolworths can disappear from the high street almost overnight, but RBS cannot. But the problem runs deeper than the damage inflicted on taxpayers by the bailout and the impact businesses and workers by the credit crunch and recession.
Banks make too much money. Banks need to earn a reasonable return on capital, but in a recent report 'Featherbedding Financial Services' we at nef (the New Economics Foundation) set out several ways in which banks profit excessively at the expense of taxpayers, customers, investors and corporate clients. This allows them to be relaxed on costs, indifferent about customer satisfaction and yet still enjoy margins that would make a manufacturer or a retailer blush. This is bad news for the broader economy. Banks' profitability has more than doubled and has outstripped non-financial sectors since the 1970s. Why?
To start with, being "too big to fail" is profitable. Based on calculations by Andrew Haldane, the executive director of financial stability at the Bank of England, we estimate the value of this subsidy to UK banks to be around £30bn a year. The subsidy arises because banks, effectively guaranteed by the government, are able to access much cheaper funds than would otherwise be the case.
But this is far from the end of the matter. We also identified windfall profits to banks from the additional trading in gilts required by the Bank of England's programme of quantitative easing. This is ironic to say the least, as QE was brought in to revive the economy after the banking crash.
Customers are proving a good source of extra profits, too. The interest spread – the difference between the interest rate that banks pay for funds and how much they charge us – has widened dramatically since 2008. Although perhaps too narrow before the crash for some forms of consumer credit, this suggests that the burden of rebuilding banks' balance sheets is falling disproportionately on customers instead of shareholders, executives and bondholders. SMEs are all but priced out of the market for credit – no wonder many do not even bother applying for a loan.
Investment banking is also something of a cosy club of financial returns wildly out of kilter with real economic contribution. Institutional investors and corporate customers are getting a raw deal. For example, in the case of rights issues we identify a near trebling of investment banking fees since 2000, having been at a steady level for decades. This has reaped an additional £1bn in fees just through a rise in commission rates.
Reform is desperately needed. Until we see genuine competition, and some customer power, in retail and investment banking, and until incompetent and failing banking institutions and executives are guaranteed to suffer the same fate as they would in any other sector of the economy, our banking industry will be a drag on the UK's prosperity.

"Reform is desperately needed".
Indeed. However, the solutions that your organisation proposes appear to be treating the symptoms rather than the causes. This crisis has been a failure of central banking and central planning and should be treated as such. However, your organisation takes a statist approach to this, limiting freedoms along the way.
The aim should be to find a system in which the private sector banks are naturally incentivised NOT to blow up the system, rather than keep the same system and watch them like hawks. This puts more power into the hands of the beaurocrats who are – ultimately the source of the problem.
These policy recommendations are particularly offensive:
• Introducing restrictions on speculators and speculative products, especially
in commodities markets.
• Supervising European banks operating in developing countries.
• Permitting prudential capital controls in free trade and investment agreements.
• Tackling tax evasion and tax avoidance, and increasing progressive taxation of wealth.
• Facilitating innovative development financing via a Financial Transactions Tax.
• Pushing for greater international cooperation on exchange rates, trade imbalances and capital flows.

oops 'bureaucrats'
Tony Greenham says:
I agree that regulation has failed, but in fact I see little evidence of any central planning having taken place rather than central ignorance.
I would not describe our position as statist. We see a strong role for the state in the management of a national state-backed fiat currency – this seems necessary almost a a matter of logic. However, and crucially, we also support local and complementary currencies that can compete with the national fiat currency.
The document below is a much better expression of our philosophy than the one you linked to.
http://www.neweconomics.org/publications/ecology-finance
Dear Mr Greenham,
I have read through the link to which you directed me and see no reason to change my initial view.
While the intention is to make banking fairer for individuals through regulation (through capital controls, increased supervision, new state-led structure such as a proposed post office bank etc. etc.) the evidence of these sorts of schemes are that they take on a life of their own following their creation. Even if I were to grant that the intentions were good, I would have to conclude that creation of these structures effectively hands more power to non-market entities unecessarily, which will likely distort the process of price-discovery that you claim to support. It will also inevitably add a burden of cost.
If the framework of a central bank and a fiat currency are to be continued, then the central ideas of narrow banking, small banks, strict capital controls and an end to inflation targetting are enough. It will be impossible for banks to profiteer at the expense of the populace without the support of the money-creation machine behind them. Excess credit growth was what caused the crisis (and indeed all financial crises). The above framework would not permit such credit growth, making further oversight unecessary, costly and potentially distortionary. To Austrians, this follows from a logical deduction from first principals. However, if you should want empirical evidence of this, I refer you to this paper:
http://www.bis.org/publ/work114.pdf
If one has the stomach to be more radical, an end to the central bank and and an end to legal tender laws would be far more supportive of a fairer system. This would reduce the inequalities between the bankers and the rest. It would also remove the pernicious suspicion that abounds today that those who are wealthy must have made it through legalised theft; under this alternative system, all wealth would have been hard-earned through the market system where only those projects providing goods demanded by consumers are successful. Fewer bounders making off with the loot without working for if would also mean more capital invested in wealth-generating projects and so a higher aggregrate living standard for all. Finally, these two reforms would remove the mechanism through which this could be reversed.
One ticklish side effect of the more radical proposals outlined above are the fact that this would likely necessitate the complete dissolution of the welfare state as we know it and an enormous shrinking of government wince it would eliminate government control of the currency. However, given that there would be fewer injustices for the government to rectify through redistributive efforts (as the biggest sources of "unfairness" are profits made through the banking system or through political gift), this would not be a problem.
Croydonius says:
@ Tim Lucas
I agree that having diagnosed 99% of the problem in the article above, Mr Greenham's organisation seem to be asking, essentially, for more of the same 'big state' answers, telling banks what they can and can't do rather than incentivising them to do the right thing, and allowing politicians to direct investment into areas they think will win them votes, e.g. to 'Green' plans using the model of the US Community Re-investment Act…. Same old errors.
However I cannot allow you to get away with a couple of points. First, I don't particularly see why the welfare state would need to be completely dissolved as a result of ending fractional reserve banking and allowing multiple issuers of meaningful asset-backed money – the poor have been given help and handouts in England and the US since the year dot in one form or another.
Secondly I think asking for a revolution, as you are, could put you in the same camp as the nutters smashing up the West End. A couple of steps toward more economically sensible banking is all we can hope for at this time. I would suggest seeking a cross-party concensus platform for the time being on two narrow, achievable policy goals: 1. A return of our money to a form backed by real assets (ideally gold and silver) to stop the inflationary debauching of it by politicians. 2. Support for Douglas Carswell MP's suggestion that consumers must be given a choice over what type of bank account they are offered, one that charges a fee for money storage and overdraft facility, and all other accounts that deliver an agreed return for an agreed level of lending risk. If you want maximum return you must allow the bank to do what they want with your money (as currently).
Mr Greenham, would you agree to those? Are you and the NEF supporting Carswell's suggestion?
Hi Croydonius,
Your two issues:
I think that the end to legal tender laws would spell the end of the welfare state given it would be extremely difficult for the government to coordinate taxation. Under this scenario, any attempt to levy tax on one form of currency would result in the market choosing another through which to do business. Given that we've never had a situation in which the government has been able to take around half of the average person's income (which is the case today) under an environment of no legal tender laws, I don't see how your reference to the year dot has any relevance as to this imaginary situation. I suspect that the convenience of using – say – gold would be quickly eroded once the government attempted to levy more than 10% tax on it.
On your other point with respect to my being a nutter, I'd suggest it doesn't help build your argument simply to throw insults. I endorse your views with respect to gold and silver of course, as I suspect you know given the views I have espoused above.
1 April 11 at 09:17
Apologies, I was not trying to suggest you are a nutter, but that an advocate of what you propose would certainly be painted as one by those who have a huge interest in maintaining the status quo, i.e. the mainstream media and political class, the 40% plus of the electorate employed by the State, the banking industry etc. You are asking for a revolution, and to take away a great number of people's livelihoods.
In my view of an 'Austrian' economy achievable in the near future, the BoE would still be the one issuer of legal tender but it would be asset-backed. A move to multiple legal tenders would be desirable, but surely not achievable for generations…. How would retailers or consumers today cope with even 3 different 'legal' tenders in circulation, all with different institutions behind them? Even shops in airports struggle to facilitate the use of different currencies.
Hi Croydonius.
Thanks for your clarification.
I hope you noticed that I gave a couple of options in my original post, the first of which was actually less radical than the one your suggestion (it keeps fiat money), but would still be an improvement on today's mess. This would involve keeping fiat currencies.
I think that that the revolutionary aspect of the proposals in the second possibility I recommend are more to do with a transition to a hard currency regime, rather than a change in legal tender laws. Hence, your proposals would end up being JUST as disruptive.
To illustrate this, let me outline what I think would happen if the UK were to take your recommendations and adopt them overnight. It would result in an enormous public sector and banking purge as the central bank would not be able to issue any more currency than it had gold in its vaults.
What you are doing is to fundamentally re-price money. Firstly, therefore, interest rates would go up. Financial services firms represent about 30% of UK GDP relative to just 10% 40 years ago. These are only viable under the current system of fiat money/central banking/fractional reserves.
Hence, on a move to a gold standard, probably 20% of the UK economy by activity (less by population) would need to be re-trained (banking sector shrinks from 30% to 10%). In addition, in the short term, the banks would likely go bust as their capital structures could not survive the transition. Hence, umemployment/economic effects would initially be more severe than this.
Interest rates rising, would mean that asset prices would fall, most particularly in the housing market by at least 33% (back to longer term trends of 3x salary from 4.5x salary today), but probably by more as unemployment would also spike given the implosion of the banking sector. Negative equity would be combined with higher interest rates/unemployment. This would mean at least 10%, probably more of all people losing their homes (it would also ensure the insovency of all UK banks).
Public sector debt is only sustainable at the current level on the assumption that the government is subsidised by the bank of England. In addition, falling tax revenues from the banks (and other parts of the economy) would result in worse deficits. To eliminate even the current deficit under fiat money, the government needs to shrink relative to GDP by 10% (it plans to do this over 5 years). If it suddenly had to do it on 30% lower tax-take and without easy money to smooth its path, following a default, then it would need to do this far more quickly and far more deeply.
In addition, it is not even certain that for the first – say 10 years – that gold and silver would prove particularly stable. The movement to monetary gold or silver after so long on fiat money would enormously push up the demand for these metals. Some estimate they would trade at something like 5x today's prices relative to other commodities. At these levels, it suddenly becomes profitable to extract them once more. If this is the case, then gold and silver – far from being anchors of stability in the short term could be nastily inflationary after the initial deflationary purge.
So while I have no doubt that your proposals would improve the stability and justice in our society over the long term, I would say that you too, are asking for a revolution. Unemployment at 20-30%, huge retraining programmes, enivitable social unrest, mass repossession of homes, total bank failure, massive transfers of wealth from those with assets to those with cash, public sector shrinkage etc. etc.
I do not think that a transition such as the one you outline can be done slowly. Firstly, political will does not last that long. Secondly, any movement in this direction would be anticipated by the markets and change the price of money such that these effects would be felt well before transition even if a slowly-slowly approach were taken.
Hence, a quick transition would be the only way. Given that any move towards a hard money system would result in the above effects, then I think that the new system ought to be structured in the best way possible and I think that this would work best without legal tender laws. Your objections to this being too complicated would be sorted out by the market. If it were – indeed – too complicated to have multiple currencies, then the market would settle on a single currency. However, the benefit of their being no legal tender laws are that it would be harder for the government to monopolise the currency system at some point in the future.
Alternatively, the other way that I outline in my original post is not revolutionary. That would involve keeping fiat currencies, but abandoning inflation-targeting by central banks. The point I was trying to make was that this can be done without the overweening regulation that the New Economics Foundation appears to want.

Lumbrokinase consists of a group of proteolytic enzymes, and is derived from the earthworm Lumbricus rubellus. Lumbrokinase has been extensively studied in Asia, and is recognized by the Ministry of Public Health in China. In acid-resistant, phthalate-free vegetarian capsules.
Other ingredients: Rice dextrin, medium chain triglycerides, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, water, gellan gum.
Note: Recently we took steps to improve the delivery of our Lumbrokinase (as of May, 2016). The previous version's 'enteric-coated' capsules utilized a phthalate-coating to create a form of acid-resistance. We now use acid resistant capsules that are FREE of phthalate and other coatings. Instead, gellan gum serves to buffer the enzymes as they pass through the stomach acid.
The potency of the enzymes and the bottle sizes have not changed. The lumbrokinase is slightly more concentrated, so each serving of 600,000 IU require 32 mg instead of 40 mg (by weight). The potency of the lumbrokinase (IU activity) is what matters, and is unchanged.

So what do you think of it so far?
By James Wates2016-03-23T11:00:00+00:00
Six months in and Build UK is already making a difference on illegal working, pre-qualification, payment issues, the skills shortage and apprenticeships. It's also got different parts of the industry talking to each other
Earlier this month we celebrated the half-year anniversary of Build UK. Six months after it was created by the merger of the UK Contractors Group and the National Specialist Contractors' Council, we felt it was a good time to celebrate. As joint chairman, I was proud to have the opportunity to step back and consider what we have accomplished.
It wasn't easy creating the organisation in the first place. The merger brought together the largest contractors and 40 specialist associations, which in turn represent 11,500 companies. It was a huge undertaking.
Naturally, there is some tension between these very different types of business but confronting the sources of that tension is essential to improving our industry. Issues such as payment terms, a lack of trust in the supply chain, and questions about who has responsibility for skills training have held us back. So we needed to have honest conversations in order to create an improved industry. The creation of Build UK has enabled many of those conversations.
We should have those difficult conversations with confidence. At the heart of it all, we depend on each other to get things done. Ultimately, all members of Build UK have the same ambition: to run a successful and profitable business. So there is much to unify us.
Problem is, in the past we weren't unified. And in the face of opponents who were unified, we were easy targets. We let others define what "good" looks like, what represents best practice, what actually works for our industry.
Now, with six months under our belt, it's clear that Build UK can make a difference. We've already started to work as a partner with the government, for example, working with the Home Office to confront the issue of illegal working. Understandably, the Home Office is keen to reduce the numbers of illegal workers in all industries, and the construction industry was perceived as particularly high risk. In the face of some onerous enforcement proposals coming from the government, Build UK stepped in and helped develop and gain consensus around a clear set of standards and expectations for what employers are obliged to do.
In the past we weren't unified. And in the face of opponents who were unified, we were easy targets
We've also worked with the public sector to develop a new pre-qualification process that will be simpler, more efficient and cost-effective, while still providing reassurance that the supply chain is competent. We're pleased that the Cabinet Office will include it within their procurement documents, and both local authority and private sector clients have welcomed the industry's leadership.
Payment issues, too, are critical. This is a fundamental focus for Build UK: to ensure that every company gets paid fairly and promptly for the work they do. But we need to do so in a way that is right for the industry. To this end, we are supporting the Construction Supply Chain Payment Charter, and we hope many of our members will sign up. And once the governmental reporting requirements for payment performance are implemented, Build UK plans to take the bold step of benchmarking our members. There may be some bitter pills to swallow, but it may be the medicine some of us need.
Another focus of Build UK is on addressing the industry's skills gaps. Quite simply, we in the private sector cannot just stand by and expect others to solve the problem for us. Logically, the skills minister Nick Boles has challenged Build UK to show leadership on the issue of skills, and I'm pleased that Build UK, working in partnership with CITB, is responding to this challenge.
The skills shortage is an issue close to my heart. I want to win the War for Talent, which means not just competing against other sectors for the best people who already have the right skills, but also helping young people with passion and drive to get access to the education and experience needed to develop those skills and just get started in construction.
I am convinced that apprenticeships will provide a valuable route into the construction industry, and that is why I agreed to join the government's Apprenticeship Delivery Board. But I am aware also that we as an industry need to shift preconceptions and move away from seeing apprenticeships as just being for the trades. Apprenticeships can be a vehicle for helping people at any stage in their careers to upskill, and I am hoping that the construction industry will grasp the opportunity to develop more apprenticeships at the technical and higher levels, so that apprenticeships can be the entry point into not just a job, but a career.
The industry that has been plagued by lack of unity is now coming together. I believe that Build UK can become a centre of gravity - continuing to grow and attract new members, and engaging intelligently and forcefully in policy debates so that it becomes the voice of the industry. Six months in, we may still have a long way to go, but it's clear we're on the right track.
James Wates is chairman of Wates, the CITB and Build UK
See you in the boardroom
Questions remains over the government's target of 3 million apprentices by 2020 but we owe it to generations of young (and not so young) people to change our thinking about what apprenticeships are and how we use them
A breath of fresh air for health and work wellbeing
Winter sees us spend 90% of our time indoors, but do we give due consideration to the indoor air we are breathing?
Productivity: Upping our game
There has always been a gap between productivity levels in UK construction and those in most other sectors. Unless we focus on the reasons for this, we'll always be underperforming

For instance, I learned that there are no bowls in Spain. Well, that's not exactly true. But there's not really a Spanish word for bowl, and in fact Spanish people generally think of a bowl as a very large serving dish. Not something you use to eat soup or cereal.
I learned this while helping set the table for dinner at my host family's house. I asked the older son where to find more bowls (we were having soup). He and his younger brother raced into the other room to grab some out of the cabinet. The 8-year-old pulled out some odd looking mug-like dishes and his brother told him to put those back and instead bring out the "platos hondos". So I asked "how do you say bowl in Spanish?" And he said "bowl." (Actually after looking up the translation I think he said "bol" but it sounds the same). I was pretty shocked that there was no Spanish word for bowl. So I asked my adult hosts about this. And they confirmed, the Spanish use "platos hondos", deep plates, for soup.
Having witnessed their morning meals I said "oh and you use coffee cups for cereal." This led to a lesson in appropriate drinking beverages. Those cereal mugs are not coffee cups! Coffee is served in a proper espresso cup, and tea in a British tea cup, leaving mugs with no particular purpose in the Spanish household, except for cereal.
Apparently even 20 years ago cereal was not a breakfast food in Spain. But more recently this American food has caught on, leaving the bowl-less Spanish to improvise with their previously useless mugs as serving dishes.
I confirmed all of this with my Spanish friend who teaches in a culinary school. And when I ask google translate for the word "bowl" in Spanish it comes up with Spanish words that mean basin, mug, cup and "el bol" which I guess is how they have arrived at transliterating the word bowl.
I didn't ask why this family that doesn't use mugs for drinks has such a large collection of mugs, but judging from the varying pictures, words and art on these mugs I think it's just like my house where mugs are collected as souvenirs and gifts. After all, they need something to use for their morning cereal.


Evan is an ice cream MANIAC. He loves just about any ice cream you can imagine. So….when an ice cream maker came up at the charity auction at work, I had to bid on it! I really wanted to make vanilla ice cream first but I was over ruled. We decided to use the homemade chocolate ice cream recipe out of the ice cream maker manual and it turned out pretty tasty.
I will be branching out & making some other recipes soon. Some I want to try are: Homemade Vanilla Bean Ice Cream and Caramel Macchiato Ice Cream. Yum! I can't wait to figure out all kinds of new combinations. Maybe I'll even try to recreate Cherry Garcia from Ben & Jerry's (my all time favorite flavor).
Combine cocoa powder & sugars.
Add whole milk and mix until the sugars are dissolved (about 1 or 2 minutes).
Add whipping cream and vanilla extract. Mix well.
Pour into prepared 2-quart ice cream maker.
We have the Cuisinart Pure Indulgence ice cream machine. It took about 30 minutes to freeze to ice cream consistency.
If you want firmer ice cream, scoop ice cream into an air tight container and freezer for 2 hours. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes prior to serving.
Evan loved making his own ice cream.
Gosh I want one so bad. Must whisper into Santa's ear this year!
Tell him that they were on sale at Sears the other day. Hope you get one soon!
evan looks sooooo much like dewey in that picture!
I will definitely be trying this… almost every recipe that came with my KitchenAid ice cream maker has eggs in it! Only the sorbet didn't.
Yeah…I'm not a big fan of raw eggs in my ice cream!
Me neither. It took me awhile to be comfortable with raw egg whites in my icing (I pasteurize them, and there is a super-easy way to tell it's hot enough), but I'm not at all knowledgeable with pasteurizing yolks yet!
I'm so excited you bought an ice cream maker! The ice cream is SO AMAZING when you make it yourself. I plan to try all sorts of recipes, from mango to mint, cherry, etc. I'll keep you posted!

Ao2: The 40th Day Community Event - Interview with Multiplayer Lead Designer Eric Chartrand - Page 2
Co-Optimus.com: What about the co-op playbook from the campaign; are players still able to use it in multiplayer?
Eric: The co-op playbook is a really useful tool for the single player because we deal with AI… In multiplayer what we did was to use the GPS in a totally different way. In the multiplayer, what we do, is the GPS will let you see every enemy that your partner is seeing and you'll see them as silhouettes through walls or whatever. So basically, if the two work together, you can map the environment and locate the enemies before they even know you're there and flank them and kill them. All of the objectives are highlighted in the GPS also – so if you want to know where the next control point is you can highlight it with the GPS and you get a distance marker telling you it's 50 meters to the south. We cannot call it the co-op playbook, but in a way, it serves the information purpose the co-op playbook was providing. The co-op playbook is one way to let the player know that here, in this setting, did you know that you can do this? Did you know you can capture this officer and then make the other one surrender? In multiplayer it works differently because you're playing with live people, so the GPS is a way for players to talk and say "ok, I know this situation, I've assessed the situation, and here is what we should do." The co-op playbook in our mind is a way for players to talk and discuss [strategy]… It's not the same mechanics, but it's the same purpose dressed for a totally differently playing environment.
Co-Optimus.com: Aside from the ability to take enemies hostage or feign death, which are very situational against an enemy AI, what about the other co-op moves, like back-to-back or step jumping, that are present in the campaign? Was there ever a point in production when they were part of multiplayer?
Eric: We tried [implementing the back-to-back] but it detracted from the experience – it kind of looked weird. We cannot have a deterministic system that knows exactly who is where at the same time, so having two players who are back-to-back made it very difficult. Seeing you on my back on my machine would be different than how you see us. So basically, we might be two meters apart on your machine but we're stuck together on mine. That being said, we will try, we will push, to have it in the next game. Every game you try to [achieve] some thing, but then you have to step back at some point and say, "we're not going to be able to do it this time." That's when we decide, "ok, let's focus on other stuff." Again, the goal of this game is to make people talk on their couch and to discuss strategy, and I think we focused on that and I think we managed to have that in this one. Now can the next one have more co-op moments? Yes, definitely, and I guarantee we will have some.
Co-Optimus.com: How did you all decide upon four as the right number for Extraction and the other team-based multiplayer modes?
Eric: I think this is a progression in a way. We could have put it at eight players, but the thing is that you want to have a manageable experience. The bigger it is, if you put eight players, you need to have bigger maps, more enemies coming in… and it becomes quickly difficult to tune and to manage. But this doesn't mean that the next game we won't try to go for more, but you need to settle for something. Again, this is a bonus mode; this is something that developed on the side, it was not planned. We didn't start at the beginning saying "let's make a mode like this," we just stumbled on it. Once we decided to put it in there as a bonus, an extra bonus for people who pre-order, then we need to keep it manageable and four player is good… I have ideas, I think they're cool, but I'm not going to talk about them just yet (laughs).
We wanted to thank Eric again for taking the time to sit down with us and discuss the Army of Two: The 40th Day's Extraction and multiplayer modes. Our conversation with Eric continued beyond just The 40th Day's multiplayer to touch upon the idea of rewarding players for the amount of time they spend playing the multiplayer modes, as games like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 or Uncharted 2: Amongst Thieves do. That part of the interview, as well as a few more interesting bits such as Eric's favorite multiplayer mode and why Eric loves co-op, will be posted in a second part early next week. So be sure to check back next week for the rest of this interview!

Q: trying to create a like button counter in mysql table, but UPDATE SET doesnt work so I'm working on a school project to create a portfolio showcase website, one of the main required functions is to create a like button for the images. I'm using xampp to host the files and database. I'm trying to make it so tat each time a person clicks the button, it would add +1 to the 'likes' column in the table, but it doesn't seem to be working. I'm still new to this so thorough explanation would be appreciated.
this is the block of code that as the

<?php echo $_SESSION['name'] ?>'s work

<?php

$username ="root";
$password ="";
$hostname ="localhost";

//connection to database

$conn = mysqli_connect($hostname,$username,$password)
or die("unable to connect to my SQL");

$lastid = $_SESSION['user'];

$image3 = "SELECT * FROM staff.image WHERE `user`='$lastid' ";
$r=mysqli_query($conn, $image3);

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_array($r))
{
?>

            <?php   echo ''; ?>

             <?php   echo $row['img_name']."
"; ?>

            <form method="POST" action=""  class="radiowrapper" >
            <input class="like" type="submit" name="problem" value="<?php echo $row['img_id']; ?>" id="name_<?php echo $row['img_name']; ?>">
            </form>

<?php
    if (isset ($_POST['problem']))
    {
        echo $sql = "UPDATE staff.image SET likes='".$row['likes']."'+1 WHERE img_id='".$row['img_id']."'";

    }
}
?>

I have another file that lets the user upload the image of his choice, and writes a name for it, and saves it in staff.image. here some screenshots

I don't really understand the problem and I've been trying different ways to write the UPDATE function but to no avail. if I'm unclear on something r you require more details I'll post it right away.
Thanks in advance !

A: You're wondering why it's echoing the query?
Simple, you told it to:
if (isset ($_POST['problem']))
{
    echo $sql = "UPDATE staff.image SET likes='".$row['likes']."'+1 WHERE img_id='".$row['img_id']."'";
    ^^^^

}

Plus, you never executed the query.
So,
//added this part after the while loop

if (isset ($_POST['problem']))
    {
        $sql = mysqli_query($conn, "UPDATE staff.image SET likes=likes+1 WHERE img_id='".$_POST['problem']."'");

    if($sql){
     echo "Success";
    }
    else {
       echo "Houston, we have a problem: " . mysqli_error($conn);
      }
}

*

*Use mysqli_affected_rows() for truthness.
