Volkswagen loses $1.83 billion in Q3 on big charge for diesel recall, but sales holding up
David McHugh, The Associated Press October 28, 2015
FRANKFURT – Volkswagen lost 1.67 billion euros ($1.83 billion) in the third quarter as it set aside 6.7 billion euros to pay for recalling and fixing cars that were rigged to evade U.S. diesel emissions tests.
While the German carmaker warned Wednesday that operating profit this year would be "down significantly," it indicated that sales would prove resilient.
The company stuck to its prediction that unit sales would be on a level with last year's record 10.14 million. Ordinary shares in Volkswagen AG rose 1.8 per cent to 124.00 euros in afternoon trading in Europe.
Volkswagen, based in Wolfsburg, Germany, had already announced the set-asides for the recalls, so market analysts expected the quarterly loss, the company's first in over a decade. The result was in fact not as bad as analysts' expectations for a loss of 2.11 billion euros, as compiled by financial data provider FactSet. Sales revenue rose 5.3 per cent to 51.5 billion euros.
Chief Financial Officer Frank Witter said the company had "solid and robust" cash resources to meet the financial impact of the emissions scandal. The cash reserves have been buttressed by 3 billion euros from the sale of shares in Suzuki. The cost "is enormous but manageable," he said.
Analysts say the impact will likely be several times larger than the set-asides, including fines, recall and repair costs, and possible lost sales due to damage to the company's reputation.
The scandal became known on Sept. 18, near the end of the quarter, so any impact on quarterly sales was slight.
Analyst Max Warburton at Sanford C. Bernstein said company officials provided disappointingly scanty information about the size of the financial damage but added that the quarter results "happen to be pretty good."
"We continue to believe VW's long-run earnings power will not be significantly impacted by the diesel crisis — management said on the call that order intake and pricing have not been affected so far," he wrote in an emailed research note. "Our best guess is VW is now undervalued."
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency says Volkswagen installed software on 482,000 cars from model years 2009-2015 that disabled diesel engine emission controls when the vehicles were not being tested. Up to 11 million cars worldwide have the deceptive software.
The scandal spoiled what would otherwise have been a profitable quarter, with 3.2 billion euros in earnings excluding interest, taxes and the scandal set-asides. The scandal has cost Volkswagen the position as the biggest automaker in the world by sales, which Toyota has regained.
"The figures show the core strength of the Volkswagen Group on the one hand, while on the other the initial impact of the current situation is becoming clear," said CEO Matthias Mueller. "We will do everything in our power to win back the trust we have lost."
Mueller said the company needed to place less emphasis on raw sales numbers and become more open and leaner to help prevent any repeat of the scandal.
He said the company would rework its Strategy 2018, which set as a goal passing Toyota as the world's largest automaker. "It's not about selling 100,000 more or less than a big competitor," he said. The goal was achieved for several months this year but then lost due to the scandal.
Mueller said some of the goals from the earlier plan — profitability and customer satisfaction — were more important than ever. He said the company would come up with a Strategy 2025 by the middle of next year.
At the Tokyo auto show, Herbert Diess, head of the namesake Volkswagen brand, apologized for the emissions-cheating scandal and said VW will delay the launch of a diesel vehicle in Japan.
The head of VW's Japan division Sven Stein bowed for several seconds in a Japanese style of apology. Diess did not bow.
"On behalf of my entire company, I'd like to apologize," said Diess, a recent hire from BMW, stressing that the priority is to fix the problem, uncover what happened and make sure the scandal never happens again.

Joe Beardsmore Creates Visual Panorama For Tom Odell With CHAUVET Professional
LONDON – There are many things that Joe Beardsmore likes about being a lighting designer. High on that list is the chance to create unique looks by "playing with angles of light." The Cotswolds-based designer is being afforded ample opportunity to pursue this passion in his work for Tom Odell on the BRITs Critics' Choice Award winner's current Jubilee Road Tour.
Using an impressive collection of CHAUVET Professional Maverick and Ovation fixtures, Beardsmore is supporting his chart-topping client's music with a diverse lightshow that weaves colorful silhouettes, starburst backlighting, gentle top washes, blindingly intense specials and a host of other dazzling effects into a seamlessly integrated visual package. Controlling the 15-universe show is a ChamSys MagicQ MQ80 with a Stadium Wing and a PC Wing Compact. A double-draped backdrop ties this multi-faceted panorama together.
"I have been working with Tom Odell across the world in many venues," said Beardsmore. "When he asked me to devise a new design to take out on his Jubilee Road Tour, he pretty much gave me free rein. However, he had a red drape backdrop that he wanted. I didn't want to be stuck with that for the whole show, so I came up with a design that allows me to switch between a mixture of red and cream backdrops through the use of rotating double-sided drapes and kabuki drop. This lets me have the plush red backdrop Tom wants, plus a clean canvas for other songs."
Beardsmore is using this canvas as the backdrop for a far-ranging lightshow anchored by 12 Maverick MK2 Spot, 6 Maverick MK3 Wash and 8 Maverick MK2 Wash fixtures, along with 6 Ovation E-910FC and 6 Ovation E-930VW ellipsoidals.
The MK3 Wash and MK2 Spot fixtures in the rig are double rigged on three prerig truss structures with four spots on top and two washes below them. These structures travel as stacked floor skids on the tour. At the start of the show, the structures are hidden behind the red drapery. Emanating from behind he drapery, side lighting from these fixtures creates an air of expectation, especially when it illuminates fog.
About two-thirds of the way through the evening's performance, the red drape kabuki drops, revealing the fixtures and a white cyc to create a striking theatrical moment. From that point on, these Maverick fixtures also provide dramatic backlighting and uplighting.
Beardsmore uses six of his Maverick MK2 Wash units as key lights. Tucked discreetly on the floor, these fixtures are angled at 45° behind the band members. The remaining two MK2 Washes are used as front fill on the downstage edge. Angled as they are, the washes add a greater sense of depth to the stage.
"I was impressed with the great zoom range and brightness from the MK2 Wash, especially given that it is a small discreet fixture," said Beardsmore. "We barely use them above 30% intensity, but it's great to have more output available on a fader when needed."
The Ovation fixtures in the Jubilee Road rig are being used for both shadow and silhouette effects. "I like to go to the ellipsoidals at times, because even though they are not as obvious as a moving light on the stage, they still create great effects," said Beardsmore. "What's more, they are also very good for your budget."
Creating a richly diverse lightshow on a consistent basis, even when variations in venue and stage size make slight adjustments necessary, is a challenge, but it's one that Beardsmore has met handily with help from his system techs Simon Robertson and David "Fletch" Fletcher.
"This tour has been a great experience, and I'm grateful that Tom has trusted me to complement his show with the best design and ideas that I have," said Beardsmore. "For me, it's been great fun to push the design process."
Judging from the reaction of crowds on the Jubilee Road Tour, audiences are enjoying seeing that process pushed too.

I wanted to love this movie for three reasons.
First of all, I must admit that even after having seen over 30,000 movies in my life, there are still so many more to see. Japanese director Kon Ichikawa, one of the foremost masters of his country's cinema, is - for example - a filmmaker who inexplicably fell below my radar. I knew he existed, but bad timing forced me to keep missing the handful of massive retrospectives of his work at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) Cinematheque (now housed in the grand TIFF Lightbox complex in Toronto, Canada).
I had also been aware of Ichikawa's ongoing obsession with adapting the best of Japan's wealth of great literature and how this generally distinguished him amongst many of his contemporaries. Yasujiro Ozu and Akira Kurosawa were particularly interested in original screenplays - good on them, but I never look a road map in the mouth, so to speak. For me, Japanese literature (save for Yukio Mishima) continues to be an unknown commodity and I have been chomping at the bit to dine at the Ichikawa Buffet (as it were) to use his movies as a barometer and/or guide to some of these great literary works. In essence, I have been preparing to use Ichikawa like the "Classics Illustrated" comics from my childhood. They always promoted the notion of "now you've read the comic, read the full length book" and for me, that used to work wonders. I mean, really! What the hell! I'm technically not a kid anymore, but even adults with a bit of book learnin' can use some help now and again.
The second reason I wanted to love The Makioka Sisters is that the first half hour is utterly spellbinding. Though we focus only on the four sisters of the title (Keiko Kishi, Yoshiko Kasuma, Sayuri Yoshinaga, Yuko Kotegawa) and one husband (Juzo Itami, eventually a noted Japanese director in his own right), Ichikawa lays out an extremely complex backstory that forces us (not distractingly) to work overtime sorting out and digesting the relationships between the characters and the cultural/historical backdrop.
Add to the above, one of the most heart achingly beautiful visual set pieces imaginable - the sisters taking a lazy stroll to enjoy the cherry blossoms - and you feel like you're diving into what might be a life-changing masterwork (save for the intrusion of one execrable element I will mention much later in this piece).
The final reason I wanted to love this movie is that it's one of those potentially great Chekhovian stories I'm a sucker for - people looking desperately to make connections with each other (or ANYONE) against a major cusp period where it's easier to remain rooted in what's dying or dead than move forward and embrace or accept the new.
It's a world where the ghosts of the past - replete with all their sins and triumphs - want to be at peace, but the living will not let them go, much to the detriment of all concerned. Within this social/cultural/historical cusp period, some will make it, most will not - and out of this shift in the divide should come both tragedy and comedy - all the stuff of great drama.
Alas, The Makioka Sisters falls short of its goals. It is not even especially GOOD drama, let alone being great.
Its story is a simple one - as most great stories are. Four sisters in pre-war (1938) Osaka live a life of relative luxury. Buoyed as they are by the inheritance left to them by their late parents, all should be well. It isn't. Tradition dictates that the sisters marry in descending order of their age in order to qualify for their share of the loot - which is, essentially to be their dowries. This is all well and good for the two eldest sisters who are already hitched, but the third eldest is a major wallflower and the youngest is clearly a modern lass with a burning desire to get on with her life.
Tradition is holding her back, And ultimately, for the family as a whole to move "forward", marriage (and by extension, tradition) is seen as the only option - hence the central goal of the story being the marrying off of daughters three and four. Romance would be nice in the equation, but clearly low on the totem pole of what's seen as necessary for the preservation of the family. The needs of the individual are less than an afterthought. In fact, they're negligible.
What keeps the movie from soaring, even though it occasionally feels like it wants to, is Ichikawa's approach to rendering the narrative. He often hangs back in medium wide shots and lets long conversations play themselves out. God knows I'm happy to watch bearded warriors in lotus positions in Kurosawa pictures as they discuss WHY they're at war and HOW they will do battle. I'm especially happy to sit for hours on end while people talk to each other in tatami-level shots in Ozu. Their pictures are replete with emotion and narrative drive - unlike The Makioka Sisters.
For several reasons, Ichikawa's approach just doesn't cut it. Some will argue that his method is restraint - that he's avoiding the obvious pitfalls and clichés inherent in goosing every dramatic beat to the max. On the other hand, it could almost be argued that he's either lazy, incompetent or hampered by exigencies of production. Almost every single time he moves from his favourite (and I'd suggest rather dull) fixed camera position, so many of the cuts feel jarring and awkward (and not intentionally) while the variation of shots often seem to be from the wrong angle. Well, given the number of stunning set pieces in the movie, he's neither lazy nor incompetent, but I do think he was wrong to tell this story the way he chose to tell it.
This is a story that, while simple on the surface, is loaded with layer upon layer of complexity and yet, one is hardly compelled to even bother peeling back those layers as the director seems so disinterested in wrenching our guts for fear, I suspect, of being melodramatic.
Well, this is a bit of a problem when the story has all the hallmarks of great melodrama and none of the required execution. Ichikawa goes out of his way to mute every major melodramatic beat to the point where a handful of scenes compel you in a certain direction, then refuse to deliver up the goods. The movie has five major emotional set pieces (you'll discover those on your own) and they're exquisitely rendered on both visual levels and from the great cast (who are often wasted by Ichikawa's overall mise-en-scene).
Sorry, Kon. This is really annoying, bud. You need to loosen up a bit.
Ozu, for example, is able to wrench out drama from the smallest details and he is NEVER afraid of emotion. Some have suggested his approach is indeed restrained in order for the emotional core to open up and be real. I disagree. Ozu, like Kurosawa, is NOT afraid of being sentimental or even melodramatic. They are storytellers - first and foremost - and will use every trick up their sleeve to wrench emotion from an audience. As well, I'm not suggesting a measured, mannered approach can't work. It can. It just doesn't work in The Makioka Sisters due, at least based on this picture to Ichikawa either unwilling or incapable of achieving the heights his colleagues aimed for or worse, his inability to properly execute his own approach.
On a surface level, the movie's concluding moments come close to creating that heart breaking devastation that's as sad as it is soaring, but by then, it's too late. Ichikawa has spent most of the movie muting all the emotion, occasionally and sloppily tossing in a dollop of it here and there, then allowing it to all hang out at the end.
Great melodrama (or even straight-up drama) needs to build to such an explosion. Ichikawa seems so obsessed with his snobby attempts at restraint that he forgot he had an audience he needed to please.
I've thus far avoided any background on exigencies of production that might have lead to Ichikawa creating this supremely flawed work (wildly praised from people who really should know better). The above were my impressions knowing nothing about the making of the film (my preferred method of seeing anything for the first time). That said, upon discovering that Ichikawa was commissioned by Japan's Toho Company to make the feature as part of its 50th year celebrations and that he was subsequently and idiotically nickelled and dimed to death, is still not reason enough to change my mind. In fact, I watched the movie a second time and my conclusions stand - it's a movie with occasional beauty, tons of potential but finally, a mess.
The most bafflingly egregious element of The Makioka Sisters is the music. In spite of the fact that the movie was made in the '80s where the style of music chosen was popular for the RIGHT movies, it is completely, utterly and overwhelmingly incomprehensible to me why a movie that DEMANDED a full orchestral score is miserably fouled with synthesized music so god-awful it might as well have been crapped out by Harold Faltermeyer.
The problem with this is that The Makioka Sisters is not about a Detroit cop in Beverly Hills. Given the score, it might as well have been.
"The Makioka Sisters" has been lovingly restored and presented on a nice looking, but extras-lacking Criterion Collection Blu-ray.

Online Courses Find Favored Business Model But What about Quality?
Michelle Shumate
February 21, 2013; Source: Wall Street Journal
Although massive open online courses (MOOCs) are still in their early phases, several indicators seem to suggest two important and perhaps contradictory developments. First, universities are joining one MOOC operator, Coursera, in mass. Coursera recently announced that it has signed an additional 29 universities, bringing its total to 62. Meanwhile, the nonprofit MOOC provider edX has announced that it has signed six new schools, including some international universities. The latest wave of schools appears to be drawn to MOOCs due to a business model that might bring these universities some revenue if their courses are licensed by other educational institutions.
As we have previously noted, the licensing model has emerged as a viable business plan that could potentially be a win for university content providers, the businesses hosting these courses, and smaller regional universities who could provide such courses at lower costs than traditional courses. This week, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported that edX offers a higher percentage of total revenues than Coursera, but edX requires that a minimum payment be made before any revenues transfer back to content creator universities. This minimum payment may help explain why Coursera has signed more universities than EdX.
In the midst of this expansion, however, Coursera has hit some stumbling blocks. One course had to be suspended due to technical difficulties. More recently, the Chronicle of Higher Education reported that a professor resigned from a Coursera course because of a disagreement over how best to teach it. Richard McKenzie, an emeritus professor of enterprise and society at the University of California-Irvine's business school, had raised issues during the course about the quality of student responses, while students had demanded that the course should be made less challenging.
Although a flock of universities seem to have converged on a business model that employs MOOCs, pedagogical questions about the quality of these online courses are likely to remain. As elite universities eye licensing their courses to other local and regional universities, will the MOOCs they plan on distributing be a lower quality educational experience?

Pamphlet for a New Energy Policy
Keynote presentation of this page
"All truth passes through three stages.
First, it is ridiculed.
Second, it is violently opposed.
Third, it is accepted as being self-evident."
Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
1) The necessity of a new energy policy
The modern energy question is one of great importance. The survival of mankind is at stake. We cannot, as we clearly see at the beginning of the 21th century, continue using fossil fuels. We need to switch over to sustainable energy sources, partly because of the fact that the resources of oil, gas and other fossil fuels are getting depleted, but also because of the administrative and military conflicts thereabout that are associated with the striving for a new world order.
A third factor is formed by the ecosystem which also seems to reach the limit of what mother earth may bear. We so realize that the global warming of our climate about 2007 is an indisputable fact, but also that for the past 50 years the power of the sunlight e.g., as measured by the so-called pan-evaporation which is a kind of meteorological evaporation index, has decreased with about 15%, probably because of soot particles and other chemical substances in the higher layers of the atmosphere around the earth. One discusses causes and consequences (see e.g. the documentary of the british television producer Martin Durkin). The CO2 level on earth also seems to be associated with the number of spots on the sun. But whether we have more CO2 because of the heat or more heat because of the CO2 (the greenhouse theory) is not that clear at all. Whether we owe it cent percent to our own actions, cannot be said that easily thus. The warming and the cooling of the earth as a consequence of global dimming cancel each other out to a reasonble degree as yet, and hopefully they will also vanish as gradually as they appeared with the development of a new energy policy, so that we are not confronted with unexpected surprises in changes of temperature and other weather conditions on earth.
Evidently must with a lot of influential factors be counted when we want to switch over to another way of producing energy and at the same time want to maintain the natural and cultural order on our planet. What e.g. is also associated with the problem of the climate and the energy question are the desertification, a possibly with natural disasters accompanied shifting of the poles of the earth under the influence of changing gravitational fields on a galactic and solar level, the world food problem, water management, the extinction of marine and land life and the melting of the polar caps and the permafrost in Siberia with which huge amounts of methane gas are released that extra contribute to the greenhouse effect. Every angle has, with the measures one takes with them, its own consequences for the ecosystem and the culture. An emission neutral, sustainable policy implies e.g. that one maintains the equilibrium between the greenhouse effect and the dimming of the earth, but with only the prescription of soot filters developing bio-ethanol and other non-emission-free, less sustainable technologies, may have far-reaching consequences for the energy- and food policy and for the natural balance of the therewith associated climate. Temperatures may, with such an unequal course of purifying the atmosphere, in a couple of years rise with as much as 5 degrees Celsius and make the ice melt of the south pole with catastrophic consequences for all the lower coastal areas in the world.
So also could next to that, in the search for alternative energy resources, a renewed interest for nuclear energy be observed, which essentially constitutes no sustainable source of energy because of the fossil nuclear materials that are needed. And there is also a serious objection, as is generally known, against the nuclear waste and the danger of this method. An alternative technology for nuclear energy production would be the technology of nuclear fusion. As yet is the most favorable technique for controlling the immense heat needed for the nuclear fusion the floating and spinning of the fusion plasma in a strong magnetic field in a so-called tokamak. This technology though delivers no degree of overunity in 2007: one never achieves more energy out of the process than one has put in. The entire project of nuclear fusion without a fusion-efficient form of fuel just might turn out to be a terribly expensive illusion. Helium-3, a helium atom missing a neutron, would be a candidate to have a more efficient output with less input of energy in the fusion process. The element itself is radioactive neutral so that less problematic radiation is released with the nuclear fusion. It offers a cleaner fusion process, be it that one also with the He-3 cannot reach an entirely radiation-free production of energy. The element which on itself is stable in a crystalline form and with its special properties extensively is researched by the physicist E.R. Dobbs, is rare on earth but abundantly available on the moon as a form of precipitated solar wind. Even though He-3 can be artificially created from Tritium-decay and also is known as a byproduct of nuclear weapons, must it, to supply the entire world efficiently with energy, be mined on the moon. An enthused adherent of the method may, via a handy website selling options on lunar territory, in advance reserve a place there. One supposedly could find there enough energy in the form of Helium-3 for the entire earth for many centuries. But such a policy of winning energy will with the moon bases and space-shuttles required, be such an economically, culturally and scientifically extensive operation that, not even considering that the supply of He-3 at the moon is also finite - it is a very luxurious type of fossil fuel thus -, also this option must be discarded as being too uncertain in an economic sense, too dangerous in a geopolitical sense and as technologically too laborious. Nuclear fusion in other ways, like the so-called aneutronic fusion process which is not in need of any He-3, has itself as yet not unequivocally proven as being efficient, or even as a feasible practice. Nuclear fusion seems to be a beautiful scientific challenge, but whether it is ever going to be a realistic alternative source of energy free from ecological, political and economic objections, is thus most uncertain, despite of the enormous scientific efforts and financial expenses in the previous decennia.
More in line with a mechanically easy to control and economically effective approach in this respect is the so-called 'cold fusion', also called the low energy nuclear reaction (LENR), which was first in 1989 developed by the chemists B. Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann of the University of Utah in de U.S.A. They proved how one with just two electrodes (an anode of platinum, and a cathode of palladium) in heavy water (deuterium-oxide) with an overunity of 1:20 can generate heat in a way which can only be explained from a nuclear process. The process which produces no harmful radiation, was not directly that well understood or controlled, but the fact that one up to two days and longer managed to maintain this effect with just a small tank of (heavy) water, went against all existing scientific models. Thus was cold fusion received with skepticism. At the time of 1990 though confirmed Michael McKubre, the director of the Energy Research Center of Stanford Research International, Richard A. Oriani of the University of Minnesota, Robert A. Huggins of Stanford University and Y. Arata of the University of Osaka in Japan their findings. In 50% of the trials they found the same results of extra heat and other experimental effects. In 1993 conducted a couple of U.S. marine researchers of the China Lake Naval Weapons Center in California, led by the chemist Melvin Miles, an investigation into the bubbles that were appearing in the device and concluded they from the mass spectral measurements that Helium-4 was present, by which, despite of the fact that the amounts discovered didn't add up with the existing theories, they indeed proved that a kind of atomic fusion at room temperature had taken place and that from that result also the heat production could be explained. In case of fusion do two heavy H2 atoms melt together into Helium four with the production of energy. In the hot fusion process one needs millions of degrees for that result, but how can such a thing take place at room temperature as well? Even though we evidently are dealing with protoscience here, a science still in its infancy, speaks one, with al the standard doubting about each other's research designs, still often about cold fusion as being a pseudoscience, or of a form of selfdeception or bewilderment based on faulty methods. But it were not the methods that were faulty considering all the sincere scientific efforts, it was the ruling paradigm that was defective. And for understanding the label of speudo being attached to cold fusion, for such a faulty denomination of this all-important research outcome, are we in need of the services of the sciences of psychology, of philosophy and other scientific disciplines, because with the enigmatic research findings is one reaching beyond the framework of the established, classical model of physics. Natural science is not that easily won of course with paradoxical results that refer to unknown processes; a specific group of scientists like this which is narrowly bound to conventions can on itself of course not directly control all the supporting sciences either which also play a part in such a big shift in the mind of science.
Despite of the great number of published investigations that found an anomalous heat production, concluded the United States Department of Energy that in 1989 formed a research panel to investigate the case, that no sufficient proof had been delivered for the reality of this cold fusion process and that for that reason no research funds needed to be provided for further development. Also a second panel in 2004 arrived at a likewise conclusion, be it that the argument against had been watered down. The report of 2004 in fact constituted a turning point because from its conclusions the more reputed scientists and more important commercial magazines (Time, Scientific American) now dared to pay some more attention to the subject. But nevertheless is one in 2007 in the U.S.A. investing many billions of research grants for new energy technologies rather in the much more doubtful hot fusion process which thus never delivered more energy - and thus certainly also not more money - than was put in. In the U.S.A. remains cold fusion a taboo, while one in Asia e.g. is more inclined to reward patents in this field. Also with science can in formal politics a narrow-minded village mentality be prominent that, based on ulterior motives and with surpassing reason, rejects everything which the establishment of the confided ego of exercising authority, the usual teachings and the associated wages earned that way would endanger.
For if there would be a formal recognition, the world would be turned upside down, because we in that case would have a revolution: all societal and economic relations would change and also would all textbooks have to be rewritten and the educational system be reformed. And who would stand and sign for that? Ultimately is progress an egoless process in which each and everyone has played his part. Now at the beginning of the 21st century are there with that process already commercial signs observable, for also money runs where it cannot go: Energy Technologies in Israel, D2Fusion in California, JET Thermal Products in Massachuchets, Mitsubishi motors and The Mastrrr Company in Texas are the corporations that 2007 are engaged in harnessing the process of cold fusion for the sake of different purposes like the purification of water, mechanical propulsion, and the supply of energy. What thereto for the acceptance of the greater public still is needed is the entire account of the paradigm associated with the cultural change involved. In this pamphlet will the complete of the paradigmatic question with everything belonging thereto be discussed at length. In this study will, based on the latest experimental and theoretical findings in this field of free energy as also on the rest of the testimonies of witnesses associated with the question of energy, be attempted to contribute to the further development of this new paradigm for the 21st century now emerging in postmodern times. We are on the way of a renewed scientific thought model with which we may speak of a new World Order. It then is about, so it now appears, an order which is not just based on the, with of without military means, preaching of 'democracy' with blotting out of state borders in a mondial clime in which a form of free enterprise is allowed to rule that isn't directly of service to the social and biological climate of the planet either. The cards are shuffled differently thus. A better ecological policy is necessary, we after all have to survive ourselves too with each his individual freedom of defending his material interests.
It is all about a broader and more responsible concept of world order, a concept which also reaches beyond the three pillars of internet communication, hydrogen storage and the two-way distribution of energy which as being the essence of a third industrial revolution lately 2007 was suggested by the american economist Jeremy Rifkin. His still most expensive solution of 850 billion for an intelligent energy network to feed back self produced energy into the grid is a new energy policy all right but is still based on the old paradigm of science. In the new model emerging now under the influence of cold fusion and the other free energy technologies we will discus later, draws everybody at every moment of the day as much 'new energy' as he needs with the new technology, and that can privately be done as good as by means of a central power plant, we're after all talking about a truly free market. Storage is then not needed anymore, and that is an extra advantage for everyone on the planet. What Rifkin is defending so nicely up to date is seen in this light again already outdated. The progress at this front is very fast. The hydrogen obsession of storing energy is not applicable any longer with the direct, according the need won energy of e.g. cars that run on cold fusion generators (see also: Basics; peswiki-article, Cold fusion 18 years and heating up; Eugene Mallove; News; ISCMNS (society); Naudin project; FAQ; Conferenties).
Culturally and psychically we have to fear for conflicts if we do not have a clear notion of the inevitable question of another policy of winning energy. Winning energy we are dealing with nature, nature that gave us our form, nature that educated us, that conditioned our genes, that conditioned all of our behavior, and our culture somehow will have to reflect that properly. Pragmatically thinking in favor of a quick result and economic success this is easily forgotten. Nature operates upon our genes and we switch with those genes responding to her with adapting ourselves to her dynamics. Our genes constitute the material with which we people, also in our cultural activities, find ourselves in an evolution which cannot be stopped at will or be obstructed. There is as well a cultural as a natural authority ruling our lives. Ultimately it is about the question, as we very well know politically, who the boss would be, who is leading us, what in our decision making would come first. It must be clear in our minds eye whether, and to what degree, we are formed by pragmatical and economical dictates, which are also known as an endless struggle for power over whatever political grip or whatever advantage would have the - temporary - right of way. Or else we admit, like it was proclaimed with the French Revolution in the beginning, that we have our footing in nature and find therein our primary order and harmony (see especially the works of the philosopher J.J. Rousseau, (1712-1778). When we psychically want to get rid of the cultural uncertainty and personal misery which is the consequence of a conflict between the material interests of the culture and those of nature, must deeds be done, deeds which have consequences for the policies of winning energy and caring for the environment. Caught between the two fires of the material, idle, short-sighted profit mind and the mind in favor of the spirit of the preservation of nature which demands more conscience and effort, may we speak of a conflict situation in which we psychically are burdened with a tormenting uncertainty about the question in what exactly we can find our true certainty and direction, our control and our confidence. In that area of tension we keep on searching for harmony and balance without us, in our from attachments born indecision, ever finding a collective solution or enduring form of world peace and collective righteousness of living.
A definitive choice has to be made, the indecision has to be given up before we are forced to decisions by the occurrence of cultural or natural disasters. With putting an end to this nature-culture conflict the way it for instance lately is happening with the more environmental friendly and sustainable Cradle to Craddle philosophy of William McDonough and Michael Braungart in the field of corporate interests, may the democracy then be more a reflection of the order we find in nature in stead of being a reflection of an everlasting, power-uncertain, political struggle which is in fact a neurosis of culture and destructive. The struggle based upon the inability to act directly from nature and to agree about it amongst ourselves, must come to a stop. That era we have to close. Also in the sense of our scientific thinking. The question first of all is thus: in what ways can we relate to nature when it is about sustainable energy policies? Next the question rises what the scientific consequences would be and how we exactly as normal people in our educational systems and in what we personally teach our children have to consider with the methods and technologies found. How would such a world order look like which is based upon the natural order of the wheelwork of nature, upon the wheelwork of the clock formed by the sun, the moon and the stars and not so much anymore is based upon a division in territories and other concepts of false oneness from the interest of which we have to fight each other's ego's? Is such a thing possible? (see also the article Sun, Moon and the new World Order)

For the cute teen large boobs consider
Post author:Mubei
PRESENTER and DJ Ashley James has revealed that she was given detention in school due to the size of her breasts. I was almost treated like I was going to be a bit loose-moraled because I had big boobs and everything. Ashley, 32, attended top private school Sedbergh in Cumbria which charges almost ?12, a year for full board. And the presenter said that having such large breasts at the age of 14 meant that she was subjected to foul comments from her male peers at the school. Looking back I was being punished essentially for my body.

So you're going out with a girl but for some bizarre reason, the first time that you met her, you never realised just how big her boobs were - and we're talking more than a handful here.
Maybe it's because you were a little bit drunk or she was wearing a baggy jumper. Regardless, you're now deciding how it's best to address these two elephants in the room. But don't worry, this isn't the first time that this will have happened to her.
Your sisters breasts will grow to a larger size. She should engage in weight training now and get her upper body strong and keep going to a gym every two days. Not only will that help her health, but she will be able to handle her breast size and she will have a lot of interest from men and can choose very carefully and marry very well when the time comes.

James Timothy Pursey (born 9 February 1955) is an English rock musician. He is the founder and frontman of the punk rock band Sham 69, which he has performed with since 1976, along with releasing material as a solo artist.

Early life
Pursey was born in Hersham, in the county of Surrey on 9 February 1955. His father was a plumber and former British Army soldier, and his mother worked as a cinema usherette. He received his education at Hersham House & Burhill Infants, Hersham Juniors, and at Rydens School, which he left at the age of 15 to work in a curtain shop.
In his youth he was a regular attender at the local disco, the Walton Hop at the Playhouse Theatre, where he met the record producer Jonathan King. He began performing in public after taking the stage as a drunk fourteen-year-old at the disco, miming to Bay City Rollers and Rolling Stones songs.

Career
In 1976 while working at Wimbledon Greyhound Stadium with Albie Slider, Billy Bostik and Neil Harris, having been inspired by the music of The Ramones, Pursey formed a punk rock band called 'Jimmy and the Ferrets', which went on to become 'Sham 69'. The band initially rehearsed at Slider's parents' pig farm, where Jonathan King sometimes came to watch them, considering the option of becoming the act's promoter. Before securing a record contract the lineup changed, with Harris and Bostock being replaced by Dave Parsons and Mark Cain. Slider left shortly afterwards and was replaced by Dave Tregunna on the bass guitar.

Sham 69 went on to release four long-players via Polydor Records, and had six UK top 50 singles before it broke up in 1980, with the violence that regularly marred its gigs having taken a toll on the band.

Pursey set up a short-lived new band with Steve Jones and Paul Cook, formerly of The Sex Pistols, titled the "Sham Pistols", before embarking on a solo career. He also worked around this period as a record producer on the early releases by Cockney Rejects, and the Angelic Upstarts.

His first solo material was released via Polydor Records, being the single Lucky Man (1980), and a long-player entitled Imagination Camouflage (1980), recorded with Derwood Andrews and Mark Laff, formerly of Generation X as session musicians, who also received co-writing credits for two of the LP's songs. Pursey then moved to Epic Records for three further singles releases, including "Animals Have More Fun" (1981), co-written with Peter Gabriel, and a second solo LP entitled Alien Orphan (1981). In 1983, a third long-player, entitled Revenge is not the Password, was released on the Code Black label. He later released a fourth solo album entitled Code Black (1997).

In 1986 Pursey reformed Sham 69 with Dave Parsons, and a new line-up. The band continued to play live and record until 2006. In 2006, Pursey recorded a new version of the Sham 69 hit "Hurry Up Harry" as an unofficial World Cup song in aid of a cancer charity; "Hurry Up England" was recorded with Graham Coxon's band but credited to 'Sham 69 & the Special Assembly'. In January 2007 the band broke up. NME reported that a statement released by Parsons included the message: "Sham 69 have left Jimmy Pursey on the eve of their 30th anniversary." Pursey initially stated that he would be retaining the Sham 69 name, but in January 2008, he announced that: "to avoid confusion to fans he wanted it known that he did not want to be associated with the band still performing as Sham 69". In 2008 he set up a new band titled Day 21 with Mat Sargent on bass, The Rev (Towers of London and The Prodigy) on guitar, and Snell (Towers of London). In July 2011 Pursey reformed Sham 69 again with the band's late 1970s members. At a meeting held between Pursey and Dave Parsons, original Sham 69 guitarist and co-writer of nearly all of the Sham repertoire with Pursey, the two ironed out their differences. Dave Tregunna, on bass, and Mark Cain, on drums, were called in to complete the original lineup for a show in London.

Personal life
Pursey lives in the Surrey town of Chertsey. He is a part-time artist, and has been known to sell paintings to raise funding for the Hersham Hounds Greyhound Sanctuary. In May 2005 there was a disturbance at The Head art gallery in Brighton, when Pursey interrupted an art show opening drinks party and removed a number of his paintings from the display after a disagreement with the curator over them. In August 2005 Pursey was involved in a physical confrontation with John Lydon whilst they were both queuing for travel visas at the United States Embassy in London, Lydon reportedly having spurned an offer of Pursey's hand with verbal abuse and a drink being thrown, with Pursey responding by kicking at Lydon in retaliation.

She wasn't always my Grand Aunt Lilly, the old lady who lived alone in a big house in Manistee, Michigan and came to visit us during winter when it was too cold for her to remain in her house.
She was born in Manistee, Michigan in 1880, one year before her sister and my Grandmother Blanche. Her parents were Ludwig Bucher and Emma Kowalske Bucher, German immigrants.
I was told that she was an excellent student. After high school she went to college, or a normal school somewhere in Michigan, where she became a teacher. She returned to Manistee and taught in the public schools until she was in her early thirties when she married Otto Brugman and became a wife and mother.
Family lore has it that Lillian and my Grandfather Walter were romantically involved for a while in their youth. In fact (or fiction) it was told to me that my Great Grandfather Stacy Thompson and my Great Grandmother Ida May Goodenow Thompson invited Lillian to join them on a long train ride westward to California, during which time my Grandfather was able to "court" my Grandmother Blanche and ultimately to propose to her without interference from Lillian. Truth or fiction – it really doesn't matter.
In a later blog, I will tell you about Lillian as the old lady and Grand Aunt that I knew, but for today, enjoy the pictures of Lillian as a youth, as a young beautiful woman, as a wife and mother.
Lillian Bucher – What a great hat!
Thank you so much for contacting me and sharing these wonderful images and interesting history about my paternal grandmother, Lillian. A note, my father spelled his name with two "N"s, Glenn. Please drop me an email so I have yours. I have a couple of images I'm sure you would like to add to your info on Lillian and Otto.
