Euronet Worldwide Reports First Quarter 2012 Financial Results 48.1 KB
LEAWOOD, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Euronet Worldwide, Inc. ("Euronet" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: EEFT), a leading electronic payments provider, reports first quarter 2012 financial results.
Euronet reports the following consolidated results for the first quarter 2012:
Revenues of $297.6 million, a 13% increase from $262.6 million for the first quarter 2011 (16% increase on a constant currency(1) basis).
Operating income of $15.8 million, an 8% decrease from $17.2 million for the first quarter 2011 (5% decrease on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA(2) of $35.4 million, a 5% increase from $33.6 million for the first quarter 2011 (10% increase on a constant currency basis).
Net income attributable to Euronet of $13.2 million or $0.26 diluted earnings per share, compared with income of $17.3 million or $0.33 diluted earnings per share for the first quarter 2011.
Adjusted cash earnings per share(3) of $0.33, compared with $0.30 for the first quarter 2011.
Transactions of 539 million, compared with 454 million for the first quarter 2011.
"I am pleased with the double-digit revenue and transaction growth delivered by each of our segments," stated Michael J. Brown, Euronet's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "This revenue and transaction growth was the leading contributor to the double-digit increase in adjusted cash earnings per share. I am excited about the momentum in each segment and feel we are well positioned to continue this growth in the coming quarters."
The EFT Processing Segment reports the following results for the first quarter 2012:
Revenues of $49.9 million, a 12% increase from $44.4 million for the first quarter 2011 (22% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $6.0 million, a 2% decrease from $6.1 million for the first quarter 2011 (5% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $12 million, a 9% increase from $11.0 million for the first quarter 2011 (17% increase on a constant currency basis).
ATMs operated of 15,614 as of March 31, 2012, compared with 11,055 as of March 31, 2011.
Revenue expansion in the quarter is attributable to a 41% growth in ATMs under management, transaction growth in nearly all EFT markets, sales of value added products and acquisitions made in the fourth quarter in Poland and Romania, together with the purchase of 51% of the outstanding shares of the Euronet Middle East (ENME) joint venture during the current quarter. Partially offsetting these revenue gains was the first quarter 2011 recognition of previously deferred revenue related to a customer discontinuing a certain product in Greece. The impact of this prior year item accounted for operating income growing at a lower rate than revenue when adjusted for FX.
Transaction growth of 29% was primarily attributable to the Company's European cross-border acquiring product and Indian, Chinese, Pakistani, Polish, and Romanian operations. Transaction growth outpaced revenue growth due to a greater contribution of lower yielding transactions in India, China, Pakistan and the European cross-border acquiring business. ATM growth is primarily the result of ATMs acquired in Poland and Romania, independently deployed ATMs in Europe and new agreements in India.
The epay Segment reports the following results for the first quarter 2012:
Revenues of $176.4 million, a 14% increase from $155.1 million for the first quarter 2011 (16% increase on a constant currency basis).
Operating income of $13.2 million, a 1% increase from $13.1 million for the first quarter 2011 (2% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $18.3 million, a 4% increase from $17.6 million for the first quarter 2011 (6% increase on a constant currency basis).
Point of sale ("POS") terminals of approximately 607,000 as of March 31, 2012, compared with approximately 562,000 as of March 31, 2011.
Retailer locations of approximately 294,000 as of March 31, 2012, compared with approximately 278,000 as of March 31, 2011.
The epay Segment's revenue growth was largely the result of last year's cadooz acquisition. Operating income was positively impacted by increased volume of prepaid products in the U.S. market, continued demand for non-mobile content in Germany, and the cadooz acquisition. These increases were offset by previously announced declines in Brazil due to a change in mobile operator distribution strategy in that market and in Australia where certain large retailers entered into direct agreements with two mobile operators last year. The percentage growth in revenue outpaced operating income largely because of the cadooz acquisition, where vouchers sold are generally recognized at their face value.
The Money Transfer Segment reports the following results for the first quarter 2012:
Operating income of $4.3 million, a 54% increase from $2.8 million for the first quarter 2011 (57% increase on a constant currency basis).
Adjusted EBITDA of $9.0 million, a 10% increase from $8.2 million for the first quarter 2011 (12% increase on a constant currency basis).
Total transactions of 6.7 million, compared with 5.3 million for the first quarter 2011.
Network locations of approximately 155,000 as of March 31, 2012, compared with approximately 107,000 as of March 31, 2011.
Revenue, operating income and Adjusted EBITDA compared to the same quarter in the prior year expanded as a result of an overall increase of 26% in total transactions, with growth in virtually every corridor. U.S.-based transactions grew 15% compared with the first quarter last year, with transactions to Mexico growing 17%. Transactions originated outside the U.S. increased 12% despite tough economic conditions in Europe. The segment continued to see strong growth in non-money transfer transactions which increased 113% over the same quarter last year. Increased operating profit is attributed to momentum gained from network expansion, which increased 45% in total locations over the same quarter last year. Operating income also reflects the benefit of certain intangible assets being fully amortized.
Corporate and other reported $7.7 million of expense for the first quarter 2012 compared with $4.8 million for the first quarter 2011. The increase in year-over-year corporate expense is primarily attributable to higher stock-based incentive compensation expense related to improved Company performance.
The Company's unrestricted cash on hand was $180.7 million as of March 31, 2012, compared to $170.7 million as of December 31, 2011 and total indebtedness was $337.2 million as of March 31, 2012, compared to $338.8 million as of December 31, 2011. The $10.0 million increase in cash is the result of operating free cash flows produced during the first quarter 2012, offset by the acquisition of 51% of ENME and debt payments on the term loan and revolving credit facility.
The Company currently expects adjusted cash earnings per share for the second quarter 2012 to be approximately $0.39, assuming foreign currency rates remain stable through the end of the quarter.
In addition to the results presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company presents non-GAAP financial measures, such as constant currency, Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted cash earnings per share financial measures. These measures should be used in addition to, and not a substitute for, net income, operating income and earnings per share computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We believe that these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to investors regarding the Company's performance and overall results of operations. These non-GAAP measures are also an integral part of the Company's internal reporting and performance assessment for executives and senior management. The non-GAAP measures used by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. The attached schedules provide a full reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure.
Euronet Worldwide will host an analyst conference call on April 25, 2012, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time to discuss these results. To listen to the call via telephone, dial 877-303-6313 (USA) or +1-631-813-4734 (non-USA). The conference call will also be available via webcast at http://ir.euronetworldwide.com.

Heller's Catch-22
Adam WinklerProfessor of Law, UCLA School of Law 56 UCLA L. Rev. 1551 (2009)
Joseph Heller's satire Catch-22 has become a classic for its revealing look at the illogic, inconsistency, and circular reasoning common in modern bureaucratic life. This Article uses Heller's novel to frame a critical analysis of the recent landmark Second Amendment decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that carries the Catch-22 author's surname, District of Columbia v. Heller. The majority opinion in Heller suffers from many of the missteps and contradictions Heller's novel identified. Although hailed as a "triumph of originalism," the opinion paradoxically relies on a thoroughly modern understanding of gun rights. Justice Scalia has argued that originalism is necessary to preserve the legitimacy of the Court, but Heller is more likely to be accepted as legitimate precisely because Scalia's opinion departed from the original meaning of the Second Amendment. Moreover, this celebrated landmark decision has had almost no effect on the constitutionality of gun control. To date, the federal courts have yet to invalidate a single gun control law for violating the Second Amendment right to bear arms, despite scores of cases. While some laws are sure to be invalidated in time, the new Second Amendment's bark is far worse than its right. The greatest irony is that Heller's logical flaws and inconsistencies improve the decision, making it more likely to endure and helping to cement a reasonable, not radical, right to bear arms.

At least a hundred Serbs are currently fighting on the side of the pro-Russian forces in Ukraine. In addition to 45 members of the Chetnik movement there also 20 volunteers, as well as 20-30 people of Serbian origin who had previously lived in Ukraine. Illustration Until now, three members of Chetnik Movement "Jovan Sevic" have been wounded, writes "Nase Novine". Volunteer Dejan from Senta was captured and released in a prisoner exchange.
People who are waiting for the opportunity to go to the front and join pro-Russian forces say there are several organizations in Serbia that made arrangements. It is difficult to accurately estimate how many of Serbian volunteers fight in Ukraine, experts say, and add that it is important to note that they all go without the knowledge and permission of the state because, otherwise, Serbia could have problems.


On behalf of The Law Offices of Daniel Feder posted in workplace discrimination on Thursday, March 29, 2018.
Employers in California and around the country are expected to comply with all state and federal civil rights laws, and workers who feel that they have been treated unfairly based on their gender, national origin, religion or race can file complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. One such complaint was submitted recently by a former member of the New Orleans Saints cheerleading squad who claims that she was required to follow highly restrictive rules that did not apply to the male players.
The woman maintains that policies put into place by the New Orleans Saints violate the National Football League's personal conduct policy. NFL rules prohibit unlawful workplace discrimination such as rules that apply to men but not women. The woman says that cheerleaders were ordered to have virtually no contact with the playing staff and even had orders to leave restaurants should a player arrive. A New Orleans Saints representative said that the team had not discriminated against the woman and would mount a vigorous defense in the appropriate forum.
The EEOC complaint does not mark the first time that NFL teams have found themselves embroiled in legal disputes with cheerleaders. The Oakland Raiders agreed to pay $1.25 million to settle wage theft litigation with its cheerleaders in 2013, and the Buffalo Bills elected to disband their cheerleading squad entirely the following year to avoid a similar lawsuit.
Cases such as this one often hinge on the evidence provided by employees who have been treated poorly. Employers may seek to resolve this kind of dispute quickly when the evidence against them is strong and their reputations could be in jeopardy. Attorneys with experience in this area may urge their clients to gather documents, such as emails, training manuals, memorandums and policy announcements, that might prove useful in settlement negotiations.


Everything from white out to wood lacquer can all have VOCs. The problem with these gases, and volatile organic compounds in general is that they can have a variety of detrimental effects, both short and long term, to your health. Here's what you need to know about VOCs and how to keep yourself safe.
The problem with all volatiles is that they're found in a surprising amount of places, not just chemicals. Office supplies often have some measure of VOCs present which can include markers and correction fluid such as White Out which bear the telltale, dizzying odor that is the indicator of a VOC. Many household products, in particular cleaning products have chemical components such as xylene, which is an industrial solvent and used in gasoline as well as anti rusting agents. Other products you might use in your home such as paints, varnishes, lacquers are obvious carriers, but even your carpet and cabinets can also be made of with chemicals that produce airborne volatile compounds.
The health risks of VOCs can be split into two different categories, short term and long term effects. The short term effects are often headaches, nausea, lightheaded or dizziness, and "brain fog". All of which will typically go away on their own after you get some fresh air.
The problem is repeated exposure, or concentration of these fumes can cause some more serious issues. Formaldehyde is used in a wide variety of manufacturing practices is a known carcinogen, which is a chemical agent that can often increase the risk of cancer. Formaldehyde isn't the only VOC that can be considered carcinogenic, there are up to 31 different known VOCs, all of which can have a long term health risk for repeated or prolonged exposure.
Many of the volatile organic compounds that are present are only temporary and will weaken and fade over time. While there are VOC detectors, one of the quickest ways to determine if any are present is to read the labels on the products you're using. Anything that has a known VOC will have a warning label, and will caution you to be careful. If there are a high amount of VOCs present in what you're working with (take paint for example) then fresh air is one of the best ways to reduce the concentration and therefore exposure. Open up the window and get a good breeze going and the VOCs will dissipate more quickly. For added safety or for particularly noxious fumes, use a respirator (commonly found at hardware stores) which will limit both the fumes as well as dust and debris inhalation. While VOC concentration is easier to find in newly built homes, that's not to say that they won't be found in existing homes. If you smell a strong odor, especially when working with a chemical or laying out new carpet, make sure you open a window, or go outside to get fresh air. If any strong symptoms are present, seek medical attention immediately, as these may be signs of an intolerance to VOCs. In short, be aware, and be safe in whatever you're doing.
VOCs are gases that are emitted from various solids, liquids and chemicals. The health risks of VOCs can be split into two different categories, short term and long term effects.

With the 2018 Gourmet Escape packed away for another year, management company IMG Managing Director for Culinary Hannah Pike says she is thrilled with how the three-day festival has been received by international, interstate and local guests. "We put together what was probably the most diverse program to date, with events for vegans, meat lovers, sweet tooths, wine and beer lovers, fans of Chinese and Mexican flavours, seafood and more," she said. "These were coupled with signature Gourmet Escape events such as the Westpac Gourmet Beach BBQ, Feast in the Forest and the Gourmet Village at Leeuwin Estate Winery, which have put the festival on the map," Ms Pike added. The Festival brought together 60 culinary superstars from WA and around the world, who were joined by more than 20,000 attendees for the seventh installment of the festival since it began in 2012. Crowd favourites Nigella Lawson, Rick and Jack Stein, Julien Royer, Niki Nakayama, Skye Gyngell and Australia's best culinary talents, such as Guy Grossi, Luke Mangan and Guillaume Brahimi, ventured to the South West for an epic three days with 50 food and wine events hosted in 25 locations. "Events took place on the ocean, the beach, in the forest, in beautiful gardens and of course at famed Margaret River wineries." The Westpac Gourmet Beach BBQ caterers Heyder & Shears had one of the busiest workloads over the weekend, supporting culinary stars including Nigella Lawson, Matt Stone, Jack Stein and Rick Stein at Castle Rock beach over the festival. Guests feasted on 80kg of Margaret River wagyu beef cheeks, 280kg of Linley Valley pork, 100kg of south west kingfish, 50 dozen Shark Bay scallops, 100kg of Dorper Lamb, 250kg of Lilydale Free Range chicken, 180kg of North West squid and 100 loaves of Yallingup wood fired bread. Artisan producers, restaurants and wineries exhibiting in the Gourmet Village were also kept busy with the festival's epicenter at Leeuwin Estate Winery welcoming the highest number of visitors in the festival's seven-year history. "A huge thanks to IMG and all the visiting 'Escapees' for yet another successful Gourmet Escape. This fabulous weekend continues to amaze - not just with the high calibre of guests and presenters but also with the support and exposure offered to fellow WA small businesses. I haven't found a more enjoyable way to network and I doubt that I will," exhibitor Kate from Little French Market Company said. Headline visitor Nigella Lawson had a busy schedule which included beachfront conversations, hosting a late night supper, chatting on stage at the Gourmet Village, book signings and a stunning afternoon tea. She also managed to find time to visit her favourite winery, Cullen, and sample produce from around the region. "I'm so happy to be back in beautiful WA, and Gourmet Escape was as enchanting as ever: the people, the food and the wine all equally wonderful." Nigella said. "And the seafood here is really, as you would expect, amazing. Marron, green-lipped abalone and squid … but also as a longtime avocado lover, to be able to come and eat avocados where they grow is a treat." While there were many new chefs experiencing Gourmet Escape and the region for the first time, others love coming back each year. Rick Stein has been involved for six of the seven years and loves coming back to Margaret River. "It's just amazingly peaceful. It's the wonderful atmosphere of Margaret River. It's very difficult to encapsulate really. It's just a tremendous sort of feeling of being out in the country with a bit of class as well. "As I have been here quite a lot, one of the things that really means a lot to me is actually meeting the local chefs, the Australian chefs funnily enough, who tell me stuff I never knew," Rick said. Victorian based chef Matt Stone who hails from WA said it is always a pleasure to come back for the festival. "It's great to see old friends, meet new friends, and to see the industry growing really strongly down here," he said. "There's some amazing restaurants; there always has been, but I feel they're coming to a whole new level and as the restaurants get better, the producers become more involved and they get supported." In 2019, the event will be expanded to include events in Perth, the Swan Valley and Margaret River over ten days, from 8 - 17 November. IMG will release more information about Western Australia Gourmet Escape presented by Westpac in early 2019. To keep up to date on developments, visit www.gourmetescape.com.au

Face to face: Hasbro´s G.I.Joe Cobra and Chap Mei´s Police Force inflatable dinghies.
The inspiration and the "evolution".
Very similar in size (apart from the obviously similar design) and perks, Chap Mei´s is original enough to own... at least one.
Removable engine, paddle set, front gun... it´s all there in both. As for the Chap Mei´s molded radio (with removable antenna), Hasbro´s 1985 dinghy comes with a hand radio set.
Scale shot with Hasbro´s ARAH G.I.Joe figures. A great "Zodiac" for your Joe... or Enemy army!

While many people attempt to understand and wrap their minds around the internet marketing industry as a whole, there are others out there that have truly mastered the field. Now, if you're asking yourself what the term internet marketing actually means, it simply boils down to a number of marketing activities that can be done online. This includes things like affiliate marketing, email marketing, social media marketing, blogging, paid marketing, search engine optimization and so on.

Samples. You'll need some samples before you can really begin marketing yourself. Figure out which market you want to approach first, and then find or create some related samples. For instance, if you want to try your hand at blogging, study some successful blogs, and then write a few posts of your own to use as samples. Do this for any and every market you'd want to write for.
Anyone who has ever googled "work from home" or "make money from home" knows that the web is overflowing with sites proclaiming you can make thousands from the comfort of your living room, most of the time requiring you to first buy a book, CD, or DVD to learn how. Since there is so much of this garbage out there, it can be frustrating looking for legitimate ways to work from home. Below are some reasonable ideas to consider.
I liken this to a paradoxical Catch-22 scenario, because it seems like without one you can't have the other. It takes money to drive traffic, but it takes traffic to make money. So don't make the mistake that millions of other online marketers make around the world. Before you attempt to scale or send any semblance of traffic to your offers, be sure to split-test things to oblivion and determine your conversion rates before diving in headfirst.
It's something akin to picking stocks. You want to buy undervalued domains, and sell them later on at a higher price. For example, you can pick a domain that is out of favor, but could be related to some future event. So if you decide that the stock market is likely to crash in the future, you can buy a domain that includes the words stock market crash during a rising market, and then sell it in a falling market.
Sell baked goods. Working parents might not have the time to whip up a birthday cake or cupcakes for school parties. That's where you come in if you can create tasty baked goods. A friend of mine who is a single mom started making cupcakes as a way to keep herself occupied while staying with her dad when he was undergoing chemotherapy. She posted a picture of her cupcakes on Facebook and instantly received several orders from friends. Now she makes about $200 a month making cupcakes for others who hear about her through word of mouth or see pictures of her cupcakes on her Facebook page.
However, with all of these so-called modern conveniences to life, where technology's ever-pervading presence has improved even the most basic tasks for us such as hailing a ride or ordering food or conducting any sort of commerce instantly and efficiently, many are left in the dark. While all of us have become self-professed experts at consuming content and utilizing a variety of tools freely available to search and seek out information, we're effectively drowning in a sea of digital overload.
Similar to a virtual assistant, you'll need to have very strong organizational and communication skills if you want to become a social media manager. It helps to be a strong user on Facebook or Twitter, but it might be even more important to know how to use social media insight tools, including HootSuite or SocialFlow, Facebook Analytics and more. Just like with a virtual assistant, you want to be able to communicate what your efforts are targeting and what your campaigns have accomplished so your employer can recognize your value.
Toluna is a survey and product testing site where you can earn points for participation. Most surveys and questionnaires take 15 – 20 minutes and members earn anywhere from 15 – 20,000 points depending on the length. Points can be redeemed for sweepstakes tickets for gadgets or getaways, vouchers for stores like Amazon, even cash. Payments are made via PayPal and check.
Email marketing - Email marketing in comparison to other forms of digital marketing is considered cheap; it is also a way to rapidly communicate a message such as their value proposition to existing or potential customers. Yet this channel of communication may be perceived by recipients to be bothersome and irritating especially to new or potential customers, therefore the success of email marketing is reliant on the language and visual appeal applied. In terms of visual appeal, there are indications that using graphics/visuals that are relevant to the message which is attempting to be sent, yet less visual graphics to be applied with initial emails are more effective in-turn creating a relatively personal feel to the email. In terms of language, the style is the main factor in determining how captivating the email is. Using casual tone invokes a warmer and gentle and inviting feel to the email in comparison to a formal style. For combinations; it's suggested that to maximize effectiveness; using no graphics/visual alongside casual language. In contrast using no visual appeal and a formal language style is seen as the least effective method.[48]
Most companies that hire for search engine evaluation have multiple projects available to work on, so the exact work you do might vary. However, search engine evaluation in the traditional sense involves analyzing queries that regular people like you and me might type into Google or Bing search and then determining the best possible results to match up to that query so that users have the best experience possible using a search engine.

Farm Policy
Why prices spiked after this week's USDA report
Afternoon Market Recap for Jan. 15, 2021

Home>Farm Business>Farm Operations>Farm Policy
New Policy Project Calls for Farm Bill Changes
The Farm and Food Policy Project is calling for a broad and balanced shift in farm policy.
A new group called the Farm and Food Policy Project released a report Monday calling for balanced changes in the 2007 Farm Bill.
The report, titled "Seeking Balance in U.S. Farm and Food Policy," pushes for a broad range of issues in the next farm bill, from helping young and beginning farmers to aiding cooperative conservation partnerships. The breadth of the report reflects the diversity of organizations involved in the project, an alliance of family farm, rural, conservation, sustainable and organic agriculture, anti-hunger, nutrition, faith-based, public health and other groups.
"It's unprecedented for organizations with such diverse interests – many of whom have not been involved in the farm bill debate in the past – to come together like this. But it's not surprising if you start with the idea that the farm bill shapes the food system that we all depend on, and sets important parts of our nation's rural, nutrition, environmental and energy policies. Since the farm bill impacts all of us – farmers, consumers, taxpayers, and citizens – we need more, not fewer, voices at the table," says Allen Hance, Farm and Food Policy Project coordinator, in a FFPP release.
Organization leaders spoke on nutrition, conservation, and sustainability at a press announcement.
"There are a tremendous number of unmet needs related to agriculture and food, and the best program ideas are desperate for funding," says American Farmland Trust president Ralph Grossi. "Innovative programs that expand new markets for local, regional and value-added products will increase access to healthier and more sustainably produced foods; and provide tools offering farmers and ranchers real economic opportunities."
The Farm and Food Policy Project's policy statement and recommendations can be viewed at www.farmandfoodproject.org.


A Croydon school has become the first ever in the borough – and one of only 34 in the whole country – to achieve 'world class' status.
Coloma Convent Girls' School was given the World Class Schools Quality Mark (WCSQM), awarded to schools that have "moved beyond" the Ofsted outstanding rating, in December. The Upper Shirley Road school, which has consistently been one of Croydon's top performing and most oversubscribed schools, was given the award at an awards ceremony held at St Bartholomew's Hospital in London.
The award's uniqueness lies in the fact that it is the students who are assessed with regard to whether they are world class or not, rather than just how the school operates. The school was initially assessed, which included an inspection and a look at prior performance data and results over time. Secondly, a team of Coloma student ambassadors undertook a full audit of the school, finding multiple examples and evidence to meet the quality standards, which were highly commended by the assessors. Following the audit stage, three student ambassadors attended the final assessment day at the Wren Academy in North London, where they had to demonstrate advanced teamwork and organisational skills. Their final video on how Coloma embodies the World Class Standards was shown at the awards ceremony.
All schools that apply for the WCSQM must first excel in their Key Stage 4 performance before they are eligible. Students must be highly confident in science, mathematics, technology and culture and be able to match the knowledge of the best students around the world. They must consistently outperform students from similar backgrounds and be dedicated to learning. They must also be globally aware so that they are confident in living and working in an international environment.
Coloma was ranked among the top 250 secondary schools in the whole of the UK at the end of last year. Compiled annually, the Sunday Times' top 250 list compares more than 3,000 state-funded schools across the UK and ranks them in order of their GCSE and A-level results. The 2016 table was published on November 27, based on a combination of the percentage of pupils who got at least one A* to B grade at A level and those who got at least one A* or A grade in their GCSEs. Coloma was ranked 170th on the list with scores of 67.1 per cent and 47.4 per cent respectively.

Ба́бинская респу́блика () — польское литературно-критическое общество, основанное в 1568 году помещиками Станиславом Пшонкой и Петром Кашовским в Ба́бине, селе около Люблина.

Общество было организовано как пародия на польское государство того времени. Девизом был взят стих 115 псалма на латинском языке: Omnis Homo Mendax (Всякий человек ложь). Участники общества получали должности по их недостаткам, к примеру, косноязычный прославлялся как оратор, склонный к сутяжничеству назначался судьёй, транжира становился казначеем, трус был военачальником, вольнодумец занимал церковные должности. Несмотря на открытые изобличения своих недостатков и пороков при назначении на определённую должность, многие известные польские писатели и государственные деятели стремились стать членами Бабинской республики. Так, в обществе состояли: Ян Замойский, Миколай Рей, Ян Кохановский, Бартош Папроцкий, Ян Кмита, Семп Шаржинский, Станислав Сарницкий и другие.

Общество просуществовало более ста лет до 1677 года. Сохранились протоколы заседаний за 1601—1677 годы.

"Map" by Lucas Aoki licensed by d4e
How does the way information is organized in networks affect what we can achieve as human beings?
In this issue of d4e we ask, "Where are the old borders and boundaries of our countries, firms and financial systems reshaping? How are the lines of our communities and even our ideologies shifting? How does cooperation work?" Network science applies research from information theory, game theory, complexity theory and physics to understand all of these things, which boil down to how information organizes itself into networks to shape the world we live in.
César A. Hidalgo, head of the Macro Connections group at MIT Media Lab and author of Why Information Grows, puts it a little more simply: No matter what the world is doing, it is organizing information. It's this order we're trying to understand when we want to build the systems we need to make our way in the world.
d4e: Why is something like information theory so important in understanding how the world works?
César Hidalgo: As a kid I wanted to study physics. I thought everything was about matter and energy and equations or formulas or some underlying laws. As I came of age and began to look at things that were more complex, I started to realize in some ways the universe is made of more or less three things: Some things are what we can actually call things — such as matter — and what we need to move around — energy. But the thing that was less obvious but more important was the way that these things were arranged, what we call order. And I realized that that order was information, and that was what it was all about, because the difference between the society we live in now and the society in which people lived thousands of years ago was not in the atoms that are on earth or the amount of energy that we're receiving from the sun. The difference is in the way in which we have ordered everything.
I started to realize that the only way in which I could understand all of things from a unified perspective was to think about them in terms of information.
d4e: In your book, you talk about a perpetual battle between order and randomness. Must randomness be battled?
CH: Absolutely. In some way if we don't battle randomness, we die. Every day we're consuming energy in the form of food. Our body uses that food to ensure that all our cells remain organized and our organs continue to function.
The universe is not very friendly toward order. It has the tendency to average things out. If you averaged yourself out, you wouldn't work that well, would you? You don't want the neurons in your head averaging out with your toenails. You want all of those things to be separate, because the separation of those functions is what allows you to have the complexity that you have as a human being.
"We live in a world in which everything that's worth doing is done in the context of a social network — a team."
d4e: This must be where boundaries matter, because information — life, even — tends to be a distributed system.
CH: It's a very distributed system, that despite being distributed, only works as long as the parts in it can cooperate effectively. It is distributed but you have very clear boundaries between the parts of the system.
d4e: How do you see those boundaries shifting and changing how cooperation works, particularly for the firm, as we move into the network age?
CH: That's a great question because in some ways we live in a world in which everything that's worth doing is done in the context of a social network — a team. We need teams to play sports, but we also need teams to manufacture cars, manage logistic chains across the world — we need teams for everything. And the reason we need them is quite simple: We each have a finite capacity to accumulate knowledge and know-how, and the only way we can accumulate the large amount of knowledge and know-how we need is by distributing it in a network of people that collaborate and reconstitute it into this super-organism that is the team.
The problem is that creating teams that are increasingly larger is hard, and if you think about it, the history of modern civilization has been about developing tricks that allow us to make larger and larger teams. One of those tricks, for instance, is to speak the same language.
Other tricks involve the development of relationships and trust between people — having interactions with people, having expectations about their behavior. Or the development of things like currency, that allow you to interact with strangers in exchanges that are more or less standardized. Then modern institutions like police and the rule of law would also let you collaborate on a larger scale, by having cities in which people are not afraid their neighbors are going to come and club them to death and take their things away just because they were in a bad mood.
But there is this idea that there is some sort of collaborative equilibrium that is not just spontaneous, but that is also being enforced by the people in that system. So, the way the that world works is that we're individually kind of limited, and the way we overcome that limitation [is] by coming together in groups — and to do that we have to develop increasingly more sophisticated tricks which go from something as basic as language to the level of firms. Nowadays, we live in a time when we're finally getting to achieve cooperation at a global scale, which is something I find very fascinating and very recent.
d4e: What happens to trust and information flow when organizations become really large?
CH: When organizations grow really large, what I find that ends up happening is that there's a lot of people just meeting other people all the time, and at that point you hit a ceiling: The organization cannot process more information because people are at capacity. The people who are overcapacity — because they're getting more inputs than they're able to process — become roadblocks to the flow of information.
So when you have very large organizations, especially large bureaucracies like the government, you have systems that are so laden by their size that they're unable to process vast amounts of information. Then networks keep growing, but their ability to process information doesn't, because now, just for the system to remain in communication requires the full time and attention of everyone involved in it.
d4e: If knowledge scales through networks, what do we do? The internet is a global tool and bureaucracies become bogged down in connecting with themselves. Large governments are just too large. Is that right? Or are there companies just as large as governments that are highly dynamic, so size doesn't necessarily mean stasis…Are there things one can do to keep one's network agile and adaptive as it grows?
CH: Knowledge is embodied in networks of people, and the reason for that is simple: People's capacity to accumulate knowledge is finite, so our only escape to our limitations is to form networks that have a larger capacity to accumulate knowledge than individuals. The problem is that our capacity to interact with others is also finite. We can only meet a few people every day, and we speak at about 100 to 150 words a minute, making a one-hour meeting equivalent to just one or two book chapters. So the networks we can form and effectively manage are also constrained in their capacity to accumulate knowledge by our finite capacities to interact.
So what are the solutions we have available to help transcend these fundamental limitations? The last 100,000 years of social, economic, and technological development can be understood — in part — as an uphill battle to develop institutions that can help us cooperate with a larger groups. These are institutions that help reduce the cost of interacting with others. Think of the development and spread of languages, or religions. Languages clearly help us communicate better with those who share the same language, and religions — as Yuval Harari explains in his book Sapiens — help reduce the cost of interacting with strangers that share the same faith, as a common religion implies shared moral codes, rituals, and expectations. More recent inventions involve money, roads, and even more recently, communication technologies such as the printing press, film, radio, television, and the internet.
Yet, inventions — from religion to the internet — are not the only innovations that help us build the networks we need to accumulate the volumes of knowledge that individuals cannot accumulate. Think of trust, and that feeling of familiarity and confidence you have in others, and how trust makes communication easier and more direct. Think of liberal and inclusive institutions, that focus on the sameness of different people, regardless of religion, ethnicity, or sexual preferences. These institutions help us more effectively build the networks we need to accumulate knowledge.
So to your point. I don't think there is a silver bullet to make an organizational network more adaptive and capable, but there are many factors that can affect the capacity of a network — from the technology they use, to the institutions that they endorse.
d4e: What insights has Pantheon given you about shaping collective memory and culture?
CH: So far with Pantheon — a dataset on globally famous biographies that we use to quantify collective memory — we have uncovered two main findings. The first one was a very strong correlation between the number of globally famous biographies produced by the speakers of a language, and the centrality of that language in the global network of translations (paper here, video here). The second one–which is in a paper under review–is that we find that all major changes in communication technologies, like the invention of movable type printing, the introduction of journals and newspapers, the introduction of film and radio, and the adoption of television, are accompanied by changes in the number of people that we remember from a time period and the occupations of those people (pre-print here).
d4e: What has Immersion taught you about the formation of successful networks within companies?
CH: Immersion is a tool that allows people to visualize the networks they weave while communicating in email. So far, we have only deployed immersion for individuals, but we have plans to create a new version focused on groups. At the individual level, however, what Immersion has taught me, is that the best way to maintain relationships on the long run is to include people into groups that you already have. This was something that was somehow to be expected. In 2007 I published a paper that looked at a year's worth of mobile phone data and found a strong connection between the longevity of links and their position in the social network. Nevertheless, as someone who has been using Immersion for more than three years to monitor my email based social network, I am now very aware that if I want to keep someone in my network for long, I need to connect that person to others in my circle.
d4e: Do the mappings you have done of people's perception of urban environments (PlacePulse and Streetscore) offer insights for managers in creating spaces that encourage high trust and collaboration both virtually and in the world? Given that your work predicts crime, can it also predict hotbeds of success?
CH: Our work on Place Pulse and Streetscore focuses more on the street and neighborhood scale, so we do not have much to say about the spaces within buildings. Nevertheless, we have found evidence suggesting that the aesthetics of urban environments affects human behavior. In a recent collaboration with Bruno Lepri, Marco de Nadai, and others from the Fondazione Bruno Kessler in Italy, we found that places that are perceived as safer are more active (as proxied by mobile phone activity traces), than what would be expected from those places' population density, employment density, and distance to the center. Although these results are observational, rather than causal, they suggest that people may have enough of a preference for the aesthetics of urban environments for these to modify their walking patterns within a city.
d4e: If economic complexity is key to long term growth for countries, is it the same for firms? If so, how should we think about measuring it?
"Trying to get everyone to know how to do everything is probably not the best strategy for a firm."
CH: This is a good question because it goes to the heart of the problem of multiple scales, or what in statistics is known as the ecological fallacy. An ecological fallacy occurs when one assumes that what is good for the group is good for the individual, when that is not always the case. In the case of economic complexity — understood as the ability of an economy to make a diverse set of sophisticated goods — what is good for the economy as a whole, is not necessarily good for a firm or an individual. Consider the US economy as an example. It is a very diverse economy whose exports range from soybeans to industrial machines. This complexity gives the US economy a global strength, but it does not mean that firms in the soybean industry should try to diversify into textiles, machinery, and online search. Diversification at a large scale is a consequence of specialization at smaller scales. The same is true in a firm. In a company there are many people that know how to do many different things. Trying to get everyone to know how to do everything is probably not the best strategy for a firm.

Author of hippie & utopian fiction
There is a suggestion in this book that everyone who emigrates to America does so for economic reasons and as such they are happy to leave their home. It is interesting that Eilis meets a relative who has gone to Liverpool before she gets the boat to America and he talks of being home sick. This gives a different view. The idea that not everything in America is as rosy as people may assume and leaving your family behind can cause its own trauma.
The boarding house where Eilis lives is occupied by women only who appear to be separated into two groups. One group wants to go drinking at a bar before the dance and the other group are more formal and old fashioned. Eilis is caught between the two erring on the side of caution initially. This reflects the importance of reputation and appearance in fifties culture. There is a great emphasis on the difference in culture between the Irish and the Italians when Eilis arrives in America, yet they share a strong religious commitment in both communities. Italian food is different to the meals Eilis eats in the house where she lives, but not unpleasant. Tony's family are very close knit and welcoming, whereas most of the Irish have emigrated leaving their families back home.
Eilis's relationship with Tony is interesting, it appears to be something she drifts into rather than a conscious decision. Unfortunately this appears to be typical of Eilis's character, submissive, passive and indecisive. For Tony on the other hand it is a permanent relationship leading to marriage. He insists that they get married in secret before she returns to Ireland following the death of her sister. This shows a marked insecurity and a need for possession and certainty. Tony has plans, a trade, land for a home and a business from which to support a family.
It is hard to determine what Eilis's feelings and long term plans are, perhaps it is the author's intention to leave them open to interpretation. She has the drive and commitment to continue with her studies, but seems to lack the passion for any relationship either with Tony or Jim. It is actually quite disturbing that she would even entertain starting a friendship / relationship with another man knowing she was married to Tony. She appears to enjoy the work she does in Ireland as a book-keeper and there is the suggestion that she would like a similar job in America. It may even be easier to work in 1950's America than it would be in Ireland, with the British convention of a woman's place is in the home and only married men should go out to work.
How enduring Tony and Eilis's relationship would be we are not told. Tony is obviously prepared for sacrifice and has great plans to provide for the future. This suggests stability and endurance if not an epic love affair. It is unusual to see a modern novel with such a passive and submissive female character, typical of fifties Britain and perhaps it is a reminder that we need to take control of our lives, lest we be carried away by any wind of change.

Södermanland Runic Inscription 328
Sö 328 is located in Tynäs, Södermanland, Sweden.
Sö 328 is the Rundata catalog number for a runic inscription on a Viking Age memorial runestone which is located in Tynäs, which is about one kilometer east of Strängnäs, Södermanland County, Sweden, which is in the historic province of Södermanland.
2 Inscription
2.1 Transliteration of the runes into Latin characters
2.2 Transcription into Old Norse
2.3 Translation in English
This runic inscription consists of runic text in the younger futhark that is carved on a serpent that circles the face of the granite stone, which is 1.7 meters in height. The tail and head of the serpent are bound as if restrained to the surface of the stone. The stone was discovered in 1913 on a small hill and was raised at approximately the same location, which is believed to be its original location. The inscription is classified as being carved in runestone style Pr2, which is also known as Ringerike style. This is the classification for inscriptions where the text bars end with serpent or beast heads depicted as seen in profile.
The runic text, which begins at the serpent's head, states that the stone and a bridge was made to memorialize the father of Þórulfr and Undrlaug. This stone is similar to many other runestones of this period that refer to bridge building.[1] Some are Christian references related to passing the bridge into the afterlife. At this time, the Catholic Church sponsored the building of roads and bridges through the use of indulgences in return for the church's intercession for the soul of the departed.[2] There are over one hundred examples of bridge stones that have been dated from the eleventh century, including runic inscriptions Sö 101 in Ramsund, Sö 141 in Löta, Sö 312 in Gamla Turingevägen, U 69 in Eggeby, and U 489 in Morby.[2] The text also refers to the raising of steina, or "stones," indicating that Þórulfr and Undrlaug raised more than one stone in memory of their father.[1] The other stone that was part of the monument, however, has been lost. The final portion of the runic text, buanta × asu × or bónda Ásu ("Ása's husbandman"), is written inside of the serpent on the right side of the inscription.
The name Undrlaug is somewhat unusual, and appears only on one other runestone, Sö 280 at the Strängnäs Cathedral in Södermanland.[3] This lead one runologist to suggest that the two runestones refer to the same woman, however, there is no evidence to support this other than the name being the same on both stones.[3]

Planeta 2010 Maroccoli Syrah Sicilia IGT – On Offer | Saporidoc UK.
The Syrah vines for the Maroccoli red wine grow at Planeta's Ulmo winery west of Agrigento in Southern Sicily at an altitude of around 400 m. in limey soil.
The grapes were harvested by hand, sorted and destalked followed by 21 days of fermentation on the skins; after malolactic fermentation in stainless steel tanks the wine was matured for 14 months in French oak barriques and a few months in the bottle. Powerful and impenetrable, this is a wine destined for long ageing.
Bouquet: Sweet oriental spices and a fleeting recall of toasted cocoa accompany the wine in all its tasting processes, now providing hints of sun-ripened black fruit, now with more wintery notes of leather and humus.
Taste: An enveloping sensation recalls the consistency of velvet with a minty and black pepper finish.

Working class unity can challenge the sectarian riots in Belfast
by Gerry Carroll in Belfast
Published Tue 11 Dec 2012
Belfast and other parts of Northern Ireland have been gripped by an explosion of protests, riots and roadblocks at the hands of Loyalist paramilitaries.
It began with 1,000 Loyalist protesters gathering outside Belfast city hall singing "God Save the Queen" and shouting "No surrender".
They were opposing a cut in the number of days the British flag is to be flown over the building. This was quickly followed by riots and protests across the city. Protests have spilled over into the Catholic Short Strand area, with homes and the local church attacked.
The liberal Unionists of the Alliance Party have seen several of their offices burnt out and smashed up. There have also been attacks on its councillors' homes and death threats issued against its East Belfast MP Naomi Long.
Most people in the North do not want to see a return to this kind of activity. They don't want paramilitary organisations to bring the place to a complete halt and leave many people living in fear.
So what's causing all this? On the face of it, the trouble seems to just be about flying a flag. But it is in fact about something much deeper.
Ever since the peace process began in Northern Ireland, Loyalists have put forward a sectarian argument that their "community" is being left behind. By "community" they mean Protestants who vote for Unionist parties and are loyal to Britain's flag and queen.
Of course, working class Protestants have been left behind by the Stormont assembly. They have gained nothing from supporting the Unionist parties who claim to represent them. But so have working class Catholics, unemployed people, students and most other people.
Loyalism claims Protestants are losing out because Catholics are doing better. It uses the real anger in working class areas over unemployment, poverty and an uncertain future to try to point the blame at Catholics. It uses bigotry to mobilise people on the streets.
This is what was done around the Ulster Covenant centenary commemoration, and the rioting this September in North Belfast around St Patrick's Church. Words like "identity" and "culture" are used to whip up fear to defend a flag that never gave a damn about working class people.
The mainstream Unionist parties are trying to present themselves as mediators between Republican politicians and the Loyalist mob on the streets.
Yet the Unionist parties, the DUP and UUP, are directly responsible for what has happened over the past few weeks. Not only are they leading an executive that is failing working class people, they also distributed 40,000 leaflets around East Belfast about the flag issue.
The DUP is deeply unpopular in many areas across Belfast. In particular it is trying to claw back support in the parliamentary constituency where its leader Peter Robinson lost his seat three years ago. Long, the Alliance Party MP who won the seat, has been targeted by the protesters.
The way the debate exploded in the city council is a direct product of the Good Friday Agreement. At its heart it is about the idea of respecting the "two traditions" of Loyalism and Republicanism.
But over the following 14 years it has re-cemented segregation and division into life and politics in the North. It assumes that people should want to be divided and follow whichever "tradition" they grew up in.
The task for socialists is to take a principled and unequivocal stand against the sectarian riots. We should argue for the trade unions to stand up and speak out. They should organise a march against sectarianism to get people on the streets to show opposition to recent events.
Huge cuts are about to be implemented, with a devastating effect on young people, poor people, pensioners and workers. We need politics which unites people and fights over these issues.
If we don't fight for that agenda, we will have an even greater increase in sectarianism—and more brutal cuts pushed through. Sectarianism can only be challenged when people stand up and fight together.

Q: What products which support 110V/60Hz you can use in Europe with a power converter to 110V/50Hz I was wondering what products which only support 110V/60Hz you can use in Europe with a power converter from 230V/50Hz to 110V/50Hz.
In what product the different frequency will be a problem ? and in what products the different frequency will not be a problem?
P.S
I am thinking about this product:
https://www.oxo.com/oxo-on-9-cup-coffee-maker

A: You really need to know the internals of the design to be able to draw a conclusion, else you're just guessing. But here are the general issues with running a 60 Hz device on 50 Hz (at same voltage after conversion).
Heating elements -- effectively no effect on heating element. Hair dryers, simple coffee makers, immersion heaters, etc. But the motor and controller parts will be affected. More below.
Stuff with magnetic coils will run hot because of X = 2*pifL. You have same inductance (L) but now you've reduce the frequency (f) so impedance X is lower. So now current draw increases 20% because the impedance is lower.
"Universal" motors -- increased heating and higher speed due to higher current. Universal motors are the kind with brushes used in electric drills, variable speed kitchen mixers, etc.
Transformers -- increased heating due to lower impedance. These are used in old-school wall adapters, clock radios, etc.
Synchronous motors -- increased heating, slower running, possible damage. Runs slower from lower line frequency. Often used in AC powered mechanical clocks, mechanical timers in appliances.
Induction motors -- increased heating, slower running, possible damage. These are fixed speed motors often used in electric fans and bench equipment like bench grinders, drill press.
Electronics will also have issues at lower frequencies:
Switching power supplies -- lower output current. Stuff like phone chargers, laptop charger, etc. These typically convert the line AC to line DC with a bridge rectifier filtered to DC by a large capacitor then high voltage DC is converted to low voltage. Output current capability will be lower since it has longer time between input capacitor recharge due to lower line frequency.
Microcontrollers -- slower timing if using line frequency as reference. Microcontrollers are the brains behind smarter coffee makers, microwave ovens, etc. Most use accurate quartz crystals or a resonator for timing, but on AC powered devices, it is cheaper to use the AC line frequency for timing. If your smart device has a fixed AC cord (not a wall adapter), then it could have a problem with slower timing. For example, 1 minute on a microwave oven might actually be 1 minute 12 seconds.
Hope that helps, -Vince

A: Slim to none. Some rice cookers and similar with mechanical synchronous timers will run too slow. Running a 60 Hz motor on 50 Hz will heat it slightly less and you will be hard pressed to find one which does not have 20 % extra cooling from the start. Any NTSC video equipment that syncs to your grid won't work well but you won't damage it either.
