by Dorothy Day;Robert Ellsberg; , Dorothy Day
Dorothy Day's unpretentious account of the life of St. Thérèse of Lisieux sheds light on the depth of Day's Catholic spirituality and illustrates why Thérèse's simplicity and humility are so vital for today. Whether you are called to the active life like Day or a more hidden existence like Thérèse, you will discover that these paths have much in common and can lead you to a love that has the power to transform you in ways that are unexpected and consequential.
Now back in print, this short biography of St. Thérèse of Lisieux by Dorothy Day expresses the surprising yet profound connection between Day--the founder of the Catholic Worker movement who was praised by Pope Francis for her passion for justice and dedication to her faith--and the beloved saint best known for her Little Way.
When Day first read St. Thérèse's autobiography, The Story of a Soul in 1928, she called it "pious pap." At the time, Day--a social activist who had been living a bohemian lifestyle--had only recently been baptized a Catholic. Some twenty-five years later, Day's perspective on Thérèse had so completely changed that she was inspired to write this biography. She did not find it an easy task: "Every time I sit down to write that book on the Little Flower I am blocked. . . . I am faced with the humiliating fact that I can write only about myself, a damning fact." But she persisted, and despite numerous rejections eventually found a publisher for it in 1960. She wrote in the Preface: "In these days of fear and trembling of what man has wrought on earth in destructiveness and hate, Thérèse is the saint we need."
Written originally for nonbelievers or those unaware of Thérèse, the book reflects how Day came to appreciate Thérèse's Little Way, not as an abstract concept, but as a spirituality that she had already been living. The Catholic Worker, which she cofounded with Peter Maurin, was dedicated to feeding the hungry and sheltering the homeless. Day's life, like Thérèse's, was filled with all the humble, self-effacing jobs that were a part of this work. She found in Thérèse a kindred spirit, one who saw these simple hidden tasks as the way to heaven. "We want to grow in love but do not know how. Love is a science, a knowledge, and we lack it," Day wrote.
Just as Day had a conversion of heart about the Little Way, you, too, can be changed by Thérèse's simple, yet profound spirituality.Dorothy Day;Robert Ellsberg;, Dorothy Day

Hanukkah or Chanukkah ben Obadiah was a hypothetical Khazar ruler who probably reigned during the mid to late ninth century CE. Hanukkah was the son of Obadiah and succeeded his nephew Manasseh I to the throne. No contemporary records from his reign survive; however, he is known from the Khazar Correspondence between Hisdai ibn Shaprut and the Khazar king Joseph. As with the other Bulanids, it is unclear whether Hanukkah was a khagan or a khagan bek; however, most modern scholars lean towards the latter possibility.  Historical authenticity and accuracy  of the only document mentioning his name has been questioned.

Hanukkah was succeeded by his son Isaac.

Keeping fit on the road requires foresight and flexibility, but with a few simple ideas and tools up your sleeve, it can certainly be done. There are endless options for exercises that require little or no equipment. There are also so many ways that you can get creative and keep an active lifestyle at the top of your mind.
In this article we're going to focus on helping you to get more consistency in your workout routine while traveling or house sitting. Let's get straight into some simple ideas for an active, travel based lifestyle.
Resistance bands. These are a lightweight piece of kit used as an alternative to weights. For strength based fitness goals, these are a fantastic option that allows you to continue with your program when there's no gym in sight. Consider carrying a couple of different colors so you have appropriate resistance levels for each exercise.
A yoga mat. If you enjoy yoga or Pilates based exercise, a mat is worth considering. Mats can be strapped to the outside of backpacks if needed. Mats are also great for other floor based exercise, such as sit ups, push-ups and back raises. You never know what environment you might end up in for your exercise session, so a mat can provide a useful barrier between yourself and the floor.
A foam roller or trigger point ball. For tight, achy muscles you can't go past trigger point exercises. Small sized foam rollers can be purchased, and although they don't weigh much, they do take up a bit of space. For this reason, if you are traveling light you might opt for a trigger point ball to work deep into weary muscles such as the feet and buttocks.
If you're staying somewhere for more than a few days, check out what's on offer in the local area. Most cities and small towns will have a number of different drop-in exercise classes available to suit your preferences, or alternatively drop in sessions for the gym. You can also Google local climbing walls, swimming and sports centers where you'll be able to hire equipment such as basketballs and tennis rackets.
Get a qualified fitness trainer to set you up with a personalized body-weight workout program that you can do anytime, anywhere. If you have exercise equipment with you, let them know what it is so they can incorporate it into your program.
Learn a five minute stretch routine. A dynamic stretch routine that will help you to loosen up after you've been traveling for long periods of time.
If you have the opportunity to book accommodation with gym or pool facilities, go for it! It is always easier to stay active when you have options close at hand.
Do an online workout. You Tube is a great place to start looking for online workouts. First decide what type of workout you want to do, then type that into the search bar. For example, you might type something like 'Pilates workout for beginners' or 'Advanced body weight workout', or 'five minute cardio workout'. The more specific you are about your requirements, the more likely it is that you'll find something to suit you. After a few sessions you may find particular channels that work well for you, so you can subscribe to them and get notifications when they post new classes.
Find opportunities to stay active while you see the world. In a new area? Find out what trail walks are around, or what mountains you can climb. Could you hire a bike to ride between the vineyards, or to see the city?
Traveling has its ups and downs. It can be unpredictable and your plans may change at the last minute. It's important to have flexibility in your workout plan and adjust as you go. Here are a few final tips to stay on track and keep a positive attitude along the way.
Learn to listen to your body. For low energy days when traveling has drained your energy, select something short and easy that will uplift you. If your body is in a depleted state, a full workout could cause you to feel run down. Opt for an easy stretch or yoga session, or a gentle walk rather than an "all out" workout on these days.
You may experience very busy days where you feel like you can't fit even five or ten minutes of organized exercise into your day. Instead aim to get better at including incidental exercise into your life.
Incidental exercise is the type of movement that can naturally fit into your day without too much adjustment or effort. Examples include taking the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator, or perhaps doing a set of calf raises while you're waiting in line to buy a ticket.
If your workout doesn't go to plan on one particular day, instead think about what you CAN do, and then move on. Tomorrow is another day and missing a planned exercise session doesn't mean that you need to wait until Monday to start being active again!
As a traveler or house sitter, you can still set big fitness goals and get excited about working towards them. Can you enter a half marathon or 10km run/walk event someplace you know you're going to be in future months? Or perhaps you want to enter an online fitness challenge to help keep you accountable to the results you want to achieve?
What are the ways that you like to keep fit on the road? Do you have any tips you'd like to share with our readers? We'd love to hear them!

I really like the "fit traveler's attitude" advice. Staying fit while traveling shouldn't make your trip worse; if anything it can and should improve the quality of your trip by allowing you to see different places, meet new people, have more energy, and eat more food.

G4C: Al Gore Says 'Games Have Clearly Arrived As A Mass Medium'
At the Gamasutra-attended 2011 Games For Change event at New York University, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore offered his vote of confidence for games' potential to engender global good.
Leigh Alexander
Forty-seventh U.S. Vice President Al Gore has become a passionate advocate for awareness of global climate issues. But in a Gamasutra-attended speech on Monday at New York University, his focus was on how games can spark real-life change. In the words of the Ford Foundation's Maya Harris, who introduced Gore as the 2011 Games for Change event's keynote speaker, his presence at the event "underscores the importance of this unique global gathering, and the immense potential for the greater public good by bringing together activists, change agents, technologists and content creators under one roof for the purpose of creating and realizing the impact of the 21st century's largest media platform: Games." Gore took the stage at NYU's Skirball Center to thunderous applause. "I'm very, very happy to be here and to see this gathering," he says. "I have followed the progress of this group. I've been advised by some friends that I saw at the TED conference this year, so when I had the opportunity to come and join you this year, I seized it," he told the packed theater. Gore sees this as an interesting era for games, and particularly the arena of games for social good -- despite a time when the global economy is, as he says, "dicey." But he's optimistic: "Certainly this is a sector of the economy that justifies that optimism," he says. Gore cited the pleasure of having worked with Will Wright, who has created interactive program Bar Karma for Current TV, a web TV channel Gore co-founded. "The aficionados of the games were drawn to create storylines around the games, and [Wright] took that and created a unique piece of software that allows people to create 'story genomes' and then vote on the path the plot takes. Each week, the results of the user votes are given to a production team to develop live programs. "It's been very interesting and award-winning, and it's been great to get to know Will," says Gore. "Games have clearly arrived as a mass medium," says Gore. "This is a very large, extremely significant industry with a wildly diverse and rapidly-growing audience of players on all kinds of platforms. We already know the immense power of popular media to illuminate issues that can seem intractable and overly-complex, but [through games] can be illuminated and presented to general audiences in a way that invites people to become involved in trying to solve the problems that our society has to solve." Creators working at the intersection of social media and entertainment are "in the best place to leverage collaborations that can create games for change," the Vice President says. The biggest issue with which activists are now working is how to translate complex content into new formats. "I could tell you that from my own experience, the secret seems to me to be to get some really good partners who know what they're doing... I found [finding partners with technical ability] a fun challenge -- and not a particularly difficult one." Gore claims no particular facility with games himself, but says he's enjoyed playing and learning about them. He also says he enjoys meeting with teams as an investor to fund new technologies in this space. "It has been very exciting to me to see so many ideas that integrate social good and efforts to make the world a better place into games." Over the last few years, "there has been an explosion of interest in games," he says, part of which can be credited to the popularity of the iOS and Android platform, along with Facebook -- all of which have built on the roads paved by video games all along. "Now we've arrived at a point where it's safe to say that games are the new norm for hundreds of millions of users every month," Gore says. "Game interfaces and scoring rules have become standard... the gamification trend is really, extremely powerful, and you see games dominating the top lists of apps on Facebook and iOS," he adds. "And games are becoming increasingly artful; it's now a craft taught in universities and trade schools, and we all know that learning by doing is one of the best ways to learn." "What we're seeing in games is art at a world-class stage design that is almost unmatched anywhere else," he says. Now, we have an opportunity to create "FarmVilles for policy," he joked, expressing his support and enthusiasm for the crowd gathered at the event to learn about the "growing movement" for games for social good. It seems that everyone from entrepreneurs and NGO want to "gamify" these days, but not everyone knows how to go about it. All kinds of software makers are trying to jump in by arbitrarily adding point systems and leaderboards and taking a "mix-and-stir" aproach, the Vice President observes. But it isn't that easy, of course: "It seems obvious, but crucial to design to the gamer's mind," he notes. Gore cited Bing Gordon's list of features that make games successful: First, first impressions count: "In the first five seconds, a gamer needs to feel, 'ah, I'm smart! I can do this'," he says. First impressions should also meet or beat expectations, and create measurable expectations on the part of the user. Second: "They need to win, and win fast, and have a reason to come back, and they need an easy way to invite others to participate. Third, the landing screen is crucial: One of the first rules of any visual media is the quality of the visual... the visual needs to match the type of app or site or game that you are about to play." The ability of game features to enhance storylines and create meaning through quests, characters and experiences is one of its most promising applications. "And it's amazing that by a three to one ratio, cooperation beats out competition," says Gore. "People want the ability to cooperate with clear rules, and the ability to self-police." This preference for cooperation and community building is heartening for the games space, says Gore: "These social communities say something positive about us and what gamification can do. This industry is sometimes defined by some of the lowest common denominator games... but the cooperation over competition, and the social rules aspect is gaining momentum." He notes the impact and crucial value of play among all living things, and is especially drawn to the junction of gamification and social media, noting how Zynga allows FarmVille players to support various causes through the purchase of seeds in the game. For Gore's part, he personally hopes for a game that can support the momentum of his acclaimed work, An Inconvenient Truth. "I've been encouraged by recent developments like Trash Tycoon and Oceanopolis, and both have spurred my thinking in this area. In closing, I want to say that I'd love to work with any teams that are interested in making games that are focused on solutions to the climate crisis. I look forward to getting to know this community better." During the Q&A session, when asked about the theory of games-as-escapism -- as ways to flee reality rather than change it -- Gore suggested, "you can say the same thing about books, really. You should try to live completely in the present moment all the time, but none of us do." He adds, "I do think the concern is well-taken. The immersive quality of games can produce more than the medium's share of people who get so caught up that it really does become an escape. But at it's best it is interesting, fun play... lessons and knowledge that are useful in changing reality for the better." "I have faith in people and in human nature. During the time they are spending in the game, if there are constructive, valuable lessons, I think that's a good thing." "You give me cause for tremendous hope," he concluded.


Marcos Alonso was the coolest man in Stamford Bridge as he slotted home a dramatic winner as Chelsea, 2-0 up and the pulled back to 2-2 beat Arsenal 3-2 to top the Premier League this afternoon at Stamford Bridge.
The Spain defender ghosted into the Arsenal penalty area with 10 minutes left on the clock - both sides suffering with tiredness after an exhausting 80 minutes of pin-ball football.
He swung his left leg out to meet an inch-perfect Eden Hazard byline cutback and directed the low ball past a desperately diving Petr Cech.
Arsenal were crestfallen. They had hauled themselves back in to the game after a pulsating first 45 minutes which saw Pedro and Alvaro Morata blast the west Londoners into a seemingly unassailable lead. But they fought valiantly and two porous defences allowed the net to bulge almost non-stop. With Henriikh Mkhitaryan and then Alex Iwobi brought them to parity.
Kepa Arrizabalaga had the first save of the day, a weak daisy-cutter from Alex Iwobi.
David Luiz tried his luck from 30-yards three minutes later, but the ball sailed over Petr Cech' s crossbar and deep into the Shed end.
Pedro, had a go seconds later with similar result - Perhaps had coach Maurizio Sarri's had told the players to test Cech early. A beautiful clipped through ball by Jorginho almost found in-running Ross Barkley, but the ex-Everton man just failed to grab the ball and it went out for a goal kick. Mesut Ozil had a great chance on eight minutes but his side-footed half-volley inched wide.
A minute later and the Blues went ahead when Pedro got onto a fine byline pass from Alonso ands lotted home from the six-yard box past Cech. But it was the exquisite defence-splitting pass by Jorginho to Alonso that curled around Hector Bellerin - beating the high line of the Arsenal defence that was the north Londoner' undoing.
The Blues should have doubled their lad on 13 minutes , when again the ball was clipped over the Arsenal defence - this time by David Luiz, N'Golo Kante picked it up, side-footed to Barkley who smashed a left-footer just over the bar.
Pierrre-Emerick Aubameyang forced Kepa into a low save by his right post on 18 minutes as Arsenal attempted to get a foothold back into the game.
Aubameyang missed an absolute sitters two min utes later when Bellerin cut the ball back to the German who slashed the ball over the goal.
A minute later and Chelsea did double the lead - and striker Alvaro Morata scored. A long ball by Cesar Azpilicueta saw Morata outpace Shkodran Mustafi, twist him into the ground, before plonking the ball past Cech.
Such was Arsenal's growing frustration that Granit Xhaka hacked down Pedro in midfield and got a yellow card from Martin Atkinson. Mkhitaryan did a Aubameyang on 32 minutes, slashing the ball over the Chelsea crossbar from eight yards out after the Chelsea defence were undone by a smart passing move.
Neither side's defence are particularly solid and Kepa will be frustrated that he failed to parry away Mkhitaryan's shot from the edge of the Chelsea penalty area which smacked the Spain goalkeeper's fingers and ended up in the back of the net to reduce the deficit to one on 37 minutes.
Cech produced a wonder save to tip away from goal a piledriver by Morata as the striker's confidence appeared to be restored.
The equaliser was always on the cards and it duly came from the boot of Iwobi four minutes from half time.
Mkhitaryan cut the ball back from the byline after Chelsea's left side was once again exposed and Iwobi did what Arsenal twice failed to do and he lashed the ball high into the back of Kepa' s net.
Quite how Aubameyang failed to go into the lead two minutes later is anyone's guess. Once again, ball-watching Chelsea allowed the striker the freedom of their six-yard box, but he scuffed a simple left-footer and it inched wide of Kepa's goal.
Before the whistle went for half-time, Iwobi entered the striker's book for missing sitters when he blasted over when free in the area.
The restart was almost a rerun of the first half, neither side able to play out from the back successfully. Chelsea thought they had a penalty on 52 minutes when a Kante shot was stopped by Socrates, bu the ball touched his hand as he twisted on the ground. Atkinson was adamant it was not a penalty.
Barkley produced a fine piece of power running and unleashed a venomous shot, on 57 minutes, which Cech did well to tip around the post.
Sarri opted to bring on Eden hazard and loanee from Real Madrid Mateo Kovacic on 60m minute's - Barkley and Willian made way fo the duo.
Ozil was hauled off for Aaron Ramsey on 68 minutes.
David Luiz saw a trademark dipping freekick saved well by Cech ad the Blues looked to reap request for their dominance of possession.
Alexander Lacazette replaced Iwobi on 75, with Morata replaced by Olivier Giroud. A Kante header inched over the crossbar as both sides went for the winner. And with 10 minutes left on the clock, up popped Marcos Alonso to slip his marker and sleep walk into the six-yard box. A perfect Hazard cut back, on the left after an excellent run, fell perfectly to the Spain defender and he stroked the ball home comfortably past Cech to restore Chelsea's lead.
Cech thwarted Hazard, as the belgium looked to knock the ball past him. But the ex-Blue was too canny for his former team-mate.
It was a fantastic game of attacking football, with periods of terrible defending. But the bragging right are now firmly in west London.

Q: Integrate $3^x$ using the $px + q$ rule I'm having trouble integrating $3^x$ using the $px + q$ rule. Can some please walk me through this?
Thanks

A: And the $px+q$ rule is...?
You can use $3^x = e^{x\log 3}$ and the obvious change of variable.

A: We can simply take as primitive $$\int a^x \,\text{d}x = \dfrac{a^x}{\log a} + C$$
Suggestion: Verify for yourself that $$\frac{\text{d}}{dx}\left(\frac {a^x}{\log a} + C\right) = a^x$$
So $$\int 3^x \,\text{d}x = \dfrac{3^x}{\log 3} + C.$$

A: If I'm correct in what you think the $px+q$ rule is then take $f(x)=e^x$, $p=\log 3$, and $q=0$, with $\log$ the natural logarithm (of course!).

Q: Why won't ubuntu on a wireless internet connection work with Panera bread or other hotspots I currently am running Ubuntu 9.04 and have a wireless card installed with the correct driver.  When I try to connect to a public hotspot sometimes the connection works and sometimes it doesn't.  Do these public hotspots use some kind of proxy that isn't compatible with the wireless card?
Thank YOu,
Ruben

A: Sometimes the hotspots use special modes or security settings that are not supported in the linux driver. Can you access these same hotspots in Windows?

A: I have this problem myself. Everywhere else I can access hotspots with Lucid, but not at Panera Bread for some reason. I have a dualbooted win7/lucid laptop and win7 doesn't have connectivity problems; lucid does. I think the router might

*either not trust linux systems (highly unlikely)

*not accept wifi adapters in promiscuous mode (which, IIRC, is the default for Ubuntu). I'm going to try changing this and report if it helps any. Also, if you did something to correct this, let me know if you can.


"If I had anyone to help, or any way to arrange for the money on my own, I would not have waited so long to treat my daughter. By now, I'd have made sure she had the surgery. I feel helpless. I feel like I have failed her. It is the worst feeling, that I am not able to relieve my daughter's pain."
5-year-old Lakirthana was diagnosed with a congenital spinal deformity that is progressing quickly and requires a corrective surgery to fuse the spine at the earliest. Her father is doing everything possible to help find relief, but funds still evade him.
Lakirthana lives in the small town of Kovilpatti of Thoothukudi district with her parents, Thirumoorthy and Revathi, and her older sister, Rajitha. As the youngest in the house, Lakirthana is showered with affection and is her daddy's little girl. Although Thirumoorthy works as a driver earning around Rs. 8000 to Rs. 12000 depending on the work, he is insistent upon educating his daughters and ensuring they grow up to be strong, independent, and well-placed women.
"I could have put her in school after her treatment, but I don't want her to slack off and lose interest in studies. For children, it is important to go to school and learn when their minds are fresh. My daughter is 5, I know. But, I make sure she understands the importance of education for people like us."
Talking about her condition, Thirumoorthy explained how her spine looked deformed right from birth. Worried about it, the parents consulted a doctor who told them about Tethered Cord and Syringomyelia. He suggested she wear a belt to correct the condition. As time went by, it was clear that Lakirthana's back was not getting better. In fact, she would cry out of pain if she had to sit in a place for longer than half hour or stand for more than a few minutes.
"We consulted a few doctors, and finally decided that it was time for the surgery. They gave us time to arrange for the money. I don't want her to be in pain anymore. She is still young so we have the chance to fix this before it puts her in a wheelchair."
When Lakirthana was 7 months old, she had a surgery for the condition and needed a followup. Since it is progressing quickly, Thirumoorthy cannot lose more time in going forward with the treatment.
"Her teachers are very accommodating to her condition. There are no rules for her. She doesn't have to wear a uniform or sit on the bench or go at a specific time. I explained to them about her problem, and they make sure that she is comfortable. She goes only for three hours, but we feel it is important for her. Whether or not we have food, I want both my daughters to study. It is a gift I can give them for life."
Lakirthana will have her surgery around March 27th. Thirumoorthy does not have friends or family who are able enough to contribute to his need. The estimated cost of the surgery is Rs. 2,50,000 of which this father has been able to arrange for Rs. 1,00,000. He needs Rs. 1,50,000 to give his daughter a better quality of life.
Your contribution can help a little girl live her life to the fullest, and a father do the best for his baby girl.
Donate now to help Lakirthana stand on her own feet.
My e mail is valid one. Wish the daughter a successful treatment.

Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove's Speech Opening The 45th Parliament
The Governor-General, Sir Peter Cosgrove, today officially opened the 45th Parliament, following the July double dissolution election.
Ceremonies in the morning saw senators and members of the House of Representatives sworn in. The Senate President, Senator Stephen Parry, and the House Speaker, Tony Smith, were both re-elected unopposed.
At 3pm, the Governor-General summoned the House members to the Senate and delivered a 38-minute speech. By convention, the speech is written by the government and outlines its program for the new parliament.
It was Cosgrove's first speech opening a new parliament. Last April, he delivered a short speech reconvening the 44th Parliament, following its prorogation. [Read more…]

Long Tan Commemoration: Cosgrove And Turnbull Pay Tribute On 50th Anniversary Of Vietnam Battle
The Governor-General and the Prime Minister have each spoken at the 50th anniversary commemoration service of Long Tan.
The service was held in Canberra this morning. It commemorated the 50th anniversary of the battle at Long Tan on August 18, 1966. Eighteen Australian soldiers from the 1st Australian Task Froce were killed and twenty-four wounded in the conflict. It is estimated that the Viet Cong lost at least 245 soldiers.
The battle took place near a rubber plantation. There were 105 soldiers involved, including a contingent from New Zealand.
In his speech, the Governor-General, who served in Vietnam, drew attention to the treatment meted out to Vietnam veterans at the time and since. He lamented that even veterans organisations did not respond well to the service of Australian soldiers in the controversial war. [Read more…]

Writs Returned And The 2016 Federal Election Is Officially Over
With its announcement that all the election writs have been returned, the Australian Electoral Commission officially brought the 2016 Federal Election to an end today.
The AEC has returned the writs for all 150 seats in the House of Representatives and for Senate elections in the ACT and the Northern Territory.
Normally, the writs would be returned to the Governor-General, but Sir Peter Cosgrove is attending the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, so the writs have gone to the Governor of Queensland, Paul de Jersey, in his capacity as Administrator to the Government of the Commonwealth of Australia.
Writs for the Senate elections in the six states have been returned to the State Governors.
The election writ is a legal document issued by the Governor-General. It commands the AEC to conduct the election. It sets out the various dates that apply during the election, such as the close of enrolments, nominations, polling day, and the return of the writ.
The process leading to the election began on May 8 when Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull advised the Governor-General to dissolve the parliament in accordance with Section 57 of the Constitution. The dissolution documents are available here.
On May 9, the Governor-General's proclamation dissolving the parliament was issued. The election writ was issued on May 16. It specified that the writ should be returned on or before August 8. [Read more…]

Governor-General Acts On Prime Minister Turnbull's Advice; Caretaker Period Ends
Government House has released correspondence between Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove which brings the election's caretaker period to an end.
The documents show that Turnbull wrote to the Governor-General the day after the election to advise him the outcome was uncertain and that he would continue in a caretaker capacity until the results were clear. Cosgrove accepted this advice.
Yesterday, Turnbull again wrote to Cosgrove to advise him that the government was now in a position to command majority support in the House of Representatives, either in its own right or with the support of crossbenchers, and that the Opposition Leader had conceded defeat. Cosgrove accepted this advice.
The effect of this is to remove the restrictions on the government's ability to make policy decisions, appointments and other significant political decisions. The period of caretaker government has ended.
Some commentators assert that there is a role for the Governor-General in determining who is commissioned to form a government. The letters show that these decisions continue to be made by the elected representatives and the Governor-General acts on the advice of his prime minister. Even in the event of a hung parliament, as the events of 2010 demonstrated, the Governor-General does not act unilaterally, but on the advice of his or her chief adviser. [Read more…]

Nov. 17 (UPI) -- Kyle Busch captured his second Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series title with a win in the 2019 Ford EcoBoost 400 on Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway in Homestead, Fla.
Busch, who led 120 of the 267 laps, won the season finale to snap his 21-race losing streak. He previously won the 2015 title and joins seven-time champion Jimmie Johnson as the only active drivers with multiple championships.
"We have a great race team and a great owner," Busch said after climbing out of his car. "We have the best sponsor in sports. I just can't say enough and thank everyone enough. ... There's always your doubters, always your haters. But you know what? This one's for 'Rowdy Nation.'"
Busch, 34, also became the 16th driver with more than one premier series championship. He is the first repeat champion in the elimination-style postseason.

Posted in funk, instrumental, jazz, new release, review By Bill Kopp On May 31, 2013
Album Review: Redtenbacher's Funkestra – The Cooker
A very good friend of mine – a drummer and a serious student of music – has, in the last several years, become quite wary – cynical, almost – about musical genre labeling. In his case, it's the term garage rock. "I can't tell you how many times," he'll say, "that some band has advertised themselves as 'garage rock,' and then I'll go out to the show, only to find that they're nothing like that at all." His point is that the terms are abused and mangled to the point of meaninglessness, that acts will latch onto whatever they think is au courant and call themselves that. Bait and switch at worst, ignorance at best.
To some extent, he's right. I've been victim (okay, "victim" is too strong a word) to some musical marketing misdirection myself. Most of us have, I should think.
But some things are undeniably the real deal: not slavish recreations, not museum set pieces. And The Cooker, the new album from Redtenbacher's Funkestra is one of those real things. Across thirteen tracks (plus three bonus cuts), this outfit churns out some precise yet oh-so-funked-up instrumental music.
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that a bassist (Stefan Redtenbacher, also on Minimoog) is leading this outfit (four players plus a US or UK horn section on various tracks, and auxiliary percussionists). There's seemingly something about a bassist's understanding of the importance of groove that makes large-ish ensembles work well; in less capable hands it would start to sound like a marching band.
Some thrilling string section work makes "Funky Barbarella" sound like an ace soundtrack cut from a 70s urban crime drama (a la Shaft). The guitar and bass are in tight lockstep on "The Oracle." Some lively Fender Rhodes holds things down on "Bo & Rhino." For a few perilous seconds during its intro, "The Whip" threatens to head into Blood, Sweat & Tears territory (intentionally or otherwise referencing "Spinning Wheels"), but thankfully the Funkestra has much groovier things on its collective mind than watered-down, white-bread funk. "Triple X" is updated big band swing. And "One Afternoon in Tunesia" [sic] is a sexy, soulful outing worthy of Isaac Hayes.
All the cuts deftly balance the looseness that funk requires to breathe with the precision that it needs to hold together. While solos abound – on pretty much every instrument that appears on the album, actually — it's always first and foremost about the ensemble and its groove. The Funkestra's recipe is deceptively straightforward: lay down a hooky riff, one that's appealing in and of itself. And then layer it with some tasty soloing, beefed up by the The Jericho Horns (the five-piece UK-based section) or The Hornheads (the USA-based five-piece).
Some marquee-name guest stars drop by – tenor saxophonist Lenny Pickett and former Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno – but the aptly named The Cooker is a winning album even without their impressive contributions.

Super Bowl XLII Preview
Game Preview- Super Bowl XLII, New York Giants vs. New England Patriots
We have two weeks to discuss this Super Bowl match-up. Why get caught-up with the opinions of those in the national media when the best news about these teams will come from their local outlets? So, get prepped for the big game through the work of the New York and Boston media…
New York Giants (13-6)
The Giants enter the game winners of ten straight road games…and they are considered the road team in the Super Bowl. Get all the back stories directly from the team from its website.
Being in the number one media market in the country affords Giants' fans a nearly unlimited supply of news about the team. On the print side, New York is the only city to support four dailies, The New York Times, The New York Post, The New York Daily News, and Newsday. The papers offer Giant-specific pages and will undoubtedly develop special Super Bowl sections as well.
New York is home to the first, and some will say the most popular, sports radio station in the country, WFAN. The flagship station of the team will undoubtedly have comprehensive coverage of the game both in the city and in Arizona. New York's other sports radio outlet, WEPN, is also expected to play a big role leading up to the game.
The Gotham City media coverage would not be complete without mentioning television outlets WABC, WNBC, WCBS, and WNYW.
Independent Giants' blogs? Where do we begin? Check out Giant Football Blog, Big Blue View, Giants Bits, Giants Gab, and Giants Locker. I don't want to slight others. Add your favorites through the comments.
New England Patriots (18-0)
The Patriots are looking to make history. Will the Boston media be the ones to play-up a new Boston/New York rivalry? Before kick-off you can probably count on it. You won't hear any of that, however, on the Patriots' website.
Boston has arguably the toughest and most critical sports media. Both The Boston Globe and The Boston Herald will breakdown this game from every conceivable angle. As with their New York colleagues, make sure to check-out the Patriots' specific pages and dedicated Super Bowl sections.
Sports radio powerhouse WEEI will have wall to wall coverage of the game. The station is already promoting its anticipated presence in Arizona. The ESPN Radio outlet in town, WAMG, will also provide their view of the game.
The Boston television outlets will once again be making the trip to the big game. Find out more from WCVB, WBZ, WHDH, and WFXT.
Boston sports fans usually have some of the most innovative blogs. Check out the Pats on Land of Patriots, Patriots Locker, Murphy's Patriots, and Patriots Gab. Missed some? Add them in the comments.
I know this is not a comprehensive list of local media coverage of both teams. I understand there are outlets in New Jersey and upstate covering the Giants and ones in Providence, the Boston suburbs, and all of New England that follow the Pats. And let's not get into the mixed loyalties of those in Connecticut.
If you follow some of these links and you are not ready for the game, you have no one to blame but yourself. So there.

There's No Room for Rudolph Giuliani in Bill de Blasio's New York
One year of Mayor Bill de Blasio showed who City Hall's persona non grata really is.
By Ross Barkan • 12/14/14 9:35pm

The first point Mayor Bill de Blasio wanted to make, before he responded to yet another insult from Rudolph Giuliani, was that he did not respond to insults from Rudolph Giuliani.
Then, in a crisp bit of doublespeak, he did so anyway.
"I really make it a point not to respond to comments like that," Mr. de Blasio said at a December press conference, answering an Observer question concerning Mr. Giuliani's latest charge that the Democratic mayor is one of many "liberal guilty whites" who "have to stop refusing to say the bigger part of the problem here is black crime and not police overreaction."
"There is a historic problem in this country. We have to come to grips with it and we have to deal with it," Mr. de Blasio continued. "Anyone who wants to live in the past can do that."
The latest contretemps between Mr. de Blasio and the former Republican mayor broke out when grand juries failed to indict white police officers in the deaths of black men in Ferguson, Mo. and Staten Island. Mr. Giuliani raged about what he saw as the true problem, black-on-black crime, while Mr. de Blasio adopted the rhetoric of the aggrieved activists, underscoring the degree to which minorities feel besieged by police.
Mr. de Blasio, cuttingly, said on television last weekend that Mr. Giuliani "fundamentally misunderstands the reality" of the incidents. Coming from an ex-operative with an instinct for diplomacy, it was a rare show of disdain.
What Mr. Giuliani's persona non grata status in City Hall has amounted to, one year into Mr. de Blasio's tenure, is a wholesale rejection of the voters and values that defined the tempestuous Republican's two terms, when crime kept falling, the economy hummed and minorities chafed at aggressive policing tactics and barbed rhetoric still debated to this day. Mr. de Blasio was a young, gangling aide to Mayor David Dinkins when Mr. Giuliani, riding a raft of disaffection in white, working class neighborhoods, eked out a victory against the city's first and only black mayor in 1993.

It appears Mr. de Blasio, a proud liberal, hasn't forgotten this.
"There was a blue collar, white ethnic population that did respond to a certain message from Giuliani. It also completely alienated the entire African-American community and much of the Latino community," said Ken Sunshine, a public relations executive and former chief of staff to Mr. Dinkins.
If Mr. de Blasio chose to erect a museum to the last quarter century of New York City history, Mr. Giuliani would probably not be there. The Republican mayor from 1994 through 2001 did not attend Mr. de Blasio's inauguration and is all but whitewashed from the municipal past Mr. de Blasio frequently alludes to, whether it's his beloved police commissioner's first tour of duty (Bill Bratton served under Mr. Giuliani in the 1990s) or the city's eventual turnaround (frequent thanks to his old boss, Mr. Dinkins). Even Michael Bloomberg, the billionaire independent who Mr. de Blasio treated as an arch-villain and foil during his winning campaign last year, can earn praise for his far-reaching public health policies.
Now, Mr. de Blasio, a father of biracial children who can echo the protest chant of "Black lives matter" and let thousands of marchers flood major bridges and highways to denounce police brutality, is holding power with a coalition that is the mirror image of what Mr. Giuliani and even Mr. Bloomberg relied upon to keep City Hall out of Democratic hands for two decades.
Despite primary and general election victories which crossed racial boundaries, promising an era of post-identity politics, Mr. de Blasio's approval rating with whites is a dismal 32 percent, according to a December Siena College/New York Times poll. Seventy percent of blacks approve of the mayor.
This yawning racial divide—the extreme inverse of what Mr. Giuliani and Mr. Bloomberg faced—probably does not threaten Mr. de Blasio's re-election, experts say, because the demographics of the city's electorate have clearly shifted in Mr. de Blasio's favor.
Fewer than one in five New Yorkers are native born, non-Hispanic whites, and that share of the population is only shrinking, said John Mollenkopf, a professor of political science and sociology at the CUNY Graduate Center.
"By the time Bloomberg was elected in 2001, and certainly somewhere in middle of the 2000s, the white share of the active electorate, people casting votes in New York City, slipped below half," Mr. Mollenkopf said. "It is getting smaller. You can't win just on that."
Mr. de Blasio's strength in communities of color can also protect against the possibility of facing a serious primary challenger in 2017, when he is all but certain to seek re-election.
"Having a very strong hold in the African-American community would limit potential challenges down the road, especially in a primary," said Christina Greer, a professor of political science at Fordham University. "His greatest challenge would be in a primary, with someone running who on many levels would look a lot like him."

Almost every policy Mr. de Blasio advanced in his first year is alienating the Giuliani coalition–the white, moderate and conservative Democrats and Republicans who continue to lose clout. His call for the building or preservation of 200,000 units of affordable housing, a popular priority in much of the city, is viewed warily in areas like Staten Island, southern Brooklyn and parts of Queens, where homeowners dominate and any talk of new housing stokes fears of overdevelopment, unwelcome density and, arguably, an encroachment of poorer, nonwhite residents.
Mr. de Blasio's repudiation of stop-and-frisk and unabashed sympathy for the thousands of protesters who filled the streets after a Staten Island grand jury voted not to indict a white police officer in the death of Eric Garner, a black Staten Islander, are yet more reasons for Giuliani voters to recoil with disgust. To them, Mr. de Blasio's stance amounts to a sustained attack on police officers, many of whom live in Staten Island.
And the home-owning, car-driving set ensconced in the city's more bucolic precincts could only seethe as Mr. de Blasio permitted marchers to clog the highways and bridges they rely on for their daily commutes.
Mr. de Blasio told reporters last week that the traffic disruptions were "minimal."
"I've never seen the city overrun with demonstrators, day in and day out, violating the law with impunity like this," said Sal Albanese, a former city councilman from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn and Democratic candidate for mayor against Mr. de Blasio in 2013. "It's basically paralyzing the city. A lot of people in my neighborhood are annoyed by it."
Even more galling for the old Giuliani bloc, perhaps, is the mayor's embrace of Rev. Al Sharpton, a far more polarizing figure than even Mr. de Blasio. To these voters, Mr. Sharpton is at best an "albatross" for the Democratic mayor—as one Republican pol put it on Twitter recently—and at worst, the kind of race-baiting arsonist who has convinced them that Mr. de Blasio will never be their real leader.
"Rudy Giuliani was the high point of Staten Island's political history," said Joseph Borelli, a Republican assemblyman from Staten Island's conservative South Shore. "Bill de Blasio, honestly, billed himself as an extremely liberal progressive Democrat and for better or worse, he's delivering on that promise."
Indeed, when Mr. Dinkins was mayor, Staten Island voted to break off from the rest of New York City. Mr. Giuliani was then elected and the city's most Republican borough collectively beamed.
"The whispers of secession that you heard in the early 90s are coming back," Mr. Borelli said.

Happy Tuesday dolls! I'm going to be a bit MIA the next few days since I'll be offsite doing a photo shoot for work but I'll try to read and respond to comments when I get a break! I don't know about you but all the pictures of people at Coachella the past two weekends really made me want to go next year! It was extra hard for me since I had a friend out there who was snapping the most fun Snaps all weekend totally giving me FOMO (thanks Yass...). Since I couldn't be there I decided to rock a festival inspired outfit around town to compensate. Don't get me wrong, if I was actually at Coachella this definitely wouldn't be what I was wearing but since I'm on a no-spending month (4 more days!!! I'm not counting down or anything) I put together a quick outfit based off of what I already had in my closet to feel semi-festival ready.
I got this kimono last year and wore it to many, many brunches then put it away for winter and was super excited to break it back out again. I love the flowy sleeves and the fun paisley pattern at the bottom. For this look I threw on a simple black tank (which happens to be one of my favorites!) and a pair of high wasited shorts. Because I was out running around I kept it simple with my super comfy DV espadrilles which I'm not too proud to say, I own in both colors! The DV line for Target is seriously killing it! I think I own 4 pairs of shoes from the line now... and each one is super comfy!
I looooove kimonos and the print on this one is really great. Love how you paired it with the espadrilles, you look great!
I see why you wore the kimono lots last season--it's beautiful!
Love this look! I just got 2 new kimonos this past weekend that I can't wait to wear all summer!
I totally have Coachella FOMO too! It looks like so much fun and I would totally love to go one year. Your outfit would be perfect!
I wish FL wasn't sooooo far away from it otherwise I would totally figure out a way to go. Love a good kimono it just works for so many things.
I'm all about the kimono's right now - so cute and easy! Hope your week isn't too rough!
Love this! You would've totally fit right in, and I need your shoes!!
Such a great summer outfit combo. I love the shorts with the kimono.
Cannot beat a kimono + jeans shorts combo- love this look, babe!
I love that kimono on you, perfect for a concert or festival!
oooh pretty and i love the paisley print at the bottom :) i'm with you, all those snaps and pictures from celebrities totally made me want to go next year!
You definitely look like you could be walking around at Coachella in that outfit! So cute! I love how you styled it with the high waist shorts! They're so cute!
I love kimonos, this is so cute with the shorts!
Don't you love when you have an old item that you can break back out with?? Love the colors!
Coachella pics always intrigue me. I love your kimono (and am taking cues on how to wear mine!). So cute paired with the flats!
I love this look! I am going to copy it for Jazz Fest this weekend!
I LOVE a good kimono for the summer, I just picked another one up recently and it's seriously so versatile. It can be used to pair with a cute outfit or as a swim cover up!
All the snaps and photos had me really wishing I was there too but love kimonos right now too!
Such a cute festival look! Love that fun kimono and I totally wish I was at Coachella too!
Love this look! You'd totally fit in over here with the kimono, I see them sold everywhere!
this is really cute! Kimonos always look so good on everyone and whenever I try one on I feel like I"m just lounging in a robe. I don't get it. Love the way it's utilized here.
I love that kimono! It looks so perfect with this outfit!


More than 300 overseas Filipino workers arrived on Wednesday after availing of Kuwait's amnesty program.
Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, February 14) — Stories of abuse, despair and helplessness resonated from among another group of workers arriving from Kuwait.
They availed of Kuwait's amnesty program which allowed overstaying workers to leave without paying fines or penalties.
Philippine Ambassador to Kuwait Renato Pedro Villa said majority of the 8,000 domestic workers in the Middle Eastern nation claimed of abuse from employers.
When asked if any of the more than 300 workers had bad experiences with their employers, almost all raised their hands.
"I was sold," said Chatherine Antaran, who worked in Kuwait for two years and two months and had multiple employers.
"Ang first employer ko po talaga is Kuwaiti po. Tapos binalik po nila ako kasi dumating na po 'yung kadama nila na galing sa Nepal, and then binalik ako sa agency tapos kinuha po ako ng isang Egyptian. Tapos pagdating sa Egyptian, binenta naman po ako," she said.
Antaran said she lasted for a year before she was "sold" to another Kuwaiti national so that her employers can save by eliminating the agency who was supposed to handle her.
"On the spot talaga, kaliwaan, kumbaga," she said.
But Antaran only stayed with her new employer for a month before she decided to escape.
"Sobra po 'yung pagod, over po 'yung trabaho, over sa oras, tapos halos po hindi po magbibigay ng pagkain," she said. "Magbibigay man ng pagkain, duduraan pa. Parang akala mo hayop 'yung kakain."
The 32-year-old left her Kuwaiti employers, leaving behind her documents as well. Antaran decided to work at a school in the same country.
Antaran said she's looking forward to her children, her husband, and her mother picking her up at the airport.
When she was asked if she would want to return to Kuwait, Antaran said, "Wala. Wala. Hindi."
Hailing from Basilan, 38-year-old Nasar Segundo wanted to support her parents, as well as provide education to her nieces and nephews.
"Inasahan ko sana na pagpunta ko doon mabait ang mga amo ko, pero hindi po ako napalad sa mga amo ko," she said.
Segundo stayed in Kuwait for six years, but she was only with her Kuwaiti employer for 10 months.
"Ang ayaw ko po sa kanila, lagi nila akong sinisigawan," she said. "Pag pumunta sila sa kwarto hindi sila nagna-knock ng door, bigla na lang silang pupunta sa loob."
She said she felt disrespected when her employer barged into her room while she was changing.
When she escaped her employers, she continued looking for part-time jobs to be able to send money back home, but this meant facing the risk of arrest.
"Pag nakakita na po ako ng pulis, doon na po ako kinakabahan kasi nanghuhuli ang mga pulis doon," she said.
Upon her return to the Philippines, Segundo said she would no longer return to Kuwait.
"Pag halimbawa naman po sa ibang bansa, pero ayaw ko na po 'yung Middle East. Kasi naranasan ko na," she said.
Rochelle Nania was a single mother of two. She first got pregnant when she was 15 years old.
Nania went to Kuwait in 2015 to find a stable source of income.
"Makapagpadala ako sa pamilya ko, mapag-aral 'yung mga anak ko, masuportahan sila sa mga pangangailangan nila. Magkaroon ng sariling bahay," she said.
But the 25-year-old mother said what she least expected happened.
"Yung unang employer ko, nananakit siya. Pero tiniis ko lang yun para matapos ko 'yung dalawang taon ko," she said.
Nania kept her ordeal from her family.
"Ayaw kong malaman nila na nahihirapan ako doon, ang alam nila, okay lang," Nania said. "At least kahit naranasan ko 'yung mga ganoong bagay sa Kuwait, kahit papaano may nabago ako sa sarili ko."
Upon her return to the Philippines, Nania said she wants to make it up to her children, for those times she was absent from their birthdays.
"Babawi ako sa kanila sa mga panahon na wala ako dito," she said.
A smiling Elites Laggui raised her hand when the workers were asked if they were planning to stay in the country.
When Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Ernesto Abella asked if they will be exploring jobs in other countries, Laggui kept her hand up.
"Di ko maipaliwanag ang saya ko," she said. She grinned afterwards.
Laggui said her employer did not give pay her for three months, which forced her to leave them and seek jobs outside her employment contract.
"Takot kaming mag-ano sa labas pero pinilit pa rin naming magtrabaho para lang may maipadalang pera sa Pinas po," she said.
Laggui supports three children aged 13, 11, and 9.
When asked if she had money for them, the 37-year-old mother said: "Lahat lahat, kaya wala akong ipon, kasi sa kanila lahat."
[I gave it all to them; that's why I don't have savings]."
Rosalita Parado was already 52 when she packed her bags for Kuwait in 2002, leaving a sari-sari store in Sampaloc, Quezon.
"Dumating na lang ang visa. Kasi nag-agency lang ako doon sa may Taft Avenue," she said.
Parado was a housemaid with three Filipinas, a Syrian and an Indonesian. They all worked under a female employee.
"Mabuti naman 'yung amo ko, kaso naman nagugutom kaming mga katulong doon," she said.
She only stayed with her employer for 10 months, opting to do part-time jobs until 2018.
Parado said she went to Kuwait despite her age because she wanted to make sure her three children will get a decent education.
"Hindi nga nakatapos eh [They weren't able to finish]," she said.
When she heard of Kuwait's amnesty program, she took the chance because she did not earn enough to buy a ticket for a flight back to the country.
"Sabi ko'y pag ako'y bumalik dito sa Pilipinas di na ako aalis dahil nga may edad. at saka gusto kong magtinda-tinda tulad ng dati," Parado said.
Philippine Airlines Flight PR127 landed at 10:10 in the morning, a direct flight from Bahrain. The plane carried more than 200 workers.
Another plane, Gulf Air GF154, landed at the same time, which also brought 125 overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) from the same Middle Eastern country.
This is the fourth batch of workers from the country after President Rodrigo Duterte ordered their repatriation.
On Monday, the Philippines banned sending workers to Kuwait, and began to repatriate thousands of Filipinos. The first batch of more than 300 workers arrived on the same day.
The ban was triggered by reports of abuse by Kuwaiti employers, highlighted by the tragic fate of Joanna Demafelis, whose body was found in January inside a freezer in an apartment in Kuwait.

Note that I run targeted policy.
It doesn't prevent mt-daapd to start and run with my current needs, which could change in the near future.
Looks like it's balking at loading the ffmpeg stuff, which will only affect you if you are transcoding ogg or flac or something.
It should be something like that, as I can't see any issue with the features I use.
I will study SELinux more in depth and might be interested in writing a module for mt-daapd, which I will share here of course.
Ok, I have finally managed to understand better.
In the first line, you turn on execmod; in the 2 lines after, you disable the execstack from shared librairies.
Nice. I'm going to sticky this until I can put it on the wiki. Thanks.


Skiapodes originate in Ethiopia. They have come to Mythic Constantinople following a diaspora caused by the Arab invasions of their homelands. Skiapodes have just one leg, which terminates in a single huge foot, easily a metre in length. They otherwise appear similar to Europeans save for a rich brown tan and curly dark hair. Skiapodes are remarkably agile jumpers, and can achieve speeds comparable to a two-legged human, covering ground with mighty bounds. Their name (which means 'shadow foot') comes from their propensity to lie on their backs and use their huge foot as a shade against the sun and a shield against attacks. Skiapodes are utterly devoted to their spouses and children; infidelity is virtually unknown in Skiapod society. They believe in a strict hierarchy of life, with things with many legs at the bottom along with the no-legs, up to quadrupeds, then humanoids and birds, and with the Skiapodes at the very pinnacle. They treat birds and other two legged creatures as equal to humans, and find eating them as unconscionable as eating human flesh. Civilised culture - Ethiopia. Their huge foot makes rolls to resist exposure from heat one skill grade easier if they can use it to provide shade. When jumping, Athletics rolls are one skill grade easier. Use this modifier to Athletics when determining how far a Skiapod can jump. The leathery skin on the sole of the foot provides cover like a heater shield, but only when the Skiapod is lying on his back.


Just last week, this was our view from the front door. Snow squalls and white out conditions.
Just under a week later, it's warm enough for us to visit the park! It was in the upper 50s yesterday! Talk about your crazy weather patterns.
How is the weather in your area?


It's an old technology – MIT's Ray Tomlinson sent the first email in 1971 – that is experiencing an identity crisis.
Over the past few years, many services have cropped up that claim they will change email forever. The proliferation of mobile devices has made email easier and faster to access. Office workers everywhere swear email is the root of their their stress and low productivity. There are even blogs dedicated to helping people manage their email.
As the world's reliance on technology has increased, so too has the noise. The result is shorter attention spans and, sometimes, disdain for email.
It wasn't always this way and it won't remain this way for long. Email began as an alternative to snail mail but has evolved into a supercharged hodgepodge of text messaging, social networking and bulk mail. It's not pretty and it presents some interesting challenges for email marketers.
While our collective frustration with "email overload" has led some to declare email dead, there is hope. And the future is bright, assuming marketers continue the shift away from selling and towards personalized media creation.
At Vero, we spend a lot of time thinking about email's place in our lives. This thinking guides the development of our software and ensures that our tool is making email better not just for our customers, but their customers too. Here are a few of our thoughts on the future of email, along with action items you can put to use today.
1. Data will reign supreme.
Think about how Amazon does email marketing. Now, compare that to how the average business does email marketing. There's a huge divide.
If you invent frequently and are willing to fail, then you never get to that point where you really need to bet the whole company. [Amazon Web Services] also started about six or seven years ago. We are planting more seeds right now, and it is too early to talk about them, but we are going to continue to plant seeds. And I can guarantee you that everything we do will not work. And, I am never concerned about that…. We are stubborn on vision. We are flexible on details.
He also noted on the call that "ninety-plus percent of the innovation at Amazon is incremental." The company is driven by data, testing and more data. They use this exact strategy on their email marketing as well.
This type of thinking is spreading as the tools marketers need become cheaper and more accessible. The result is more effective emails.
KISSmetrics: Person-based analytics platform that identifies site visitors and tracks them over time.
SumAll: Tool for compiling data from Google Analytics, social networks, ad networks and shopping cart platforms.
2. Personalization will take on a meaning.
This is what personalization means today but that's changing fast.
All the data marketers are collecting theoretically allows them to send unique emails to every lead and customer. That is true personalization but few spend the time to make it happen. Event tracking tracking and triggered email technology is making it much easier to do this.
With enough data and the right software, you can customize emails in the same way an algorithm decides which search results to show you. Based on [this data], [this context], [these past results] and [these similar customers], you can send the perfect email. Now that is personalization.
In the future, personalization might be algorithmic email or mass customization. Whatever we call it, personalization will go much deeper than it does today.
It's basic personalization but these customers have unique needs and should be treated accordingly.
3. A/B testing will fade away.
When I first read Nir Eyal's thoughts on why A/B testing will die out, I scoffed. After some reflection, however, I can see that his thinking is right on.
Today, companies are able to test messaging in real-time, trying dozens of variants to discover which ones create the desired behavior most efficiently. But so-called "A/B testing," which is designed to find the best solution for the average user, is rapidly being replaced by far more sophisticated methods designed to optimize on an individual, per-user basis.
Finding the best solution for the average user means finding the optimal solution for almost no one. This is another reason that algorithmic email or mass customization will be the best form of personalization in just a few years.
By singling out one persuasion strategy per person, companies are addressing customers in the way that best suits the user. In the age of increasing personalized data and a greater understanding of the tools of persuasion, companies will no longer need to communicate with customers as an amalgam of an "average user" that doesn't actually exist. Instead, by marrying psychology and customer data, smart companies will give customers more of what they want: someone who speaks their language.
Start planning new ways to test calls to action on your leads and customers. To get meaningful data on a user, you need to test different methods against the same user.
This is a good opportunity to explore what makes users. If you have, for example, a free trial of your product, you can use a series of very different calls to action to convert them. Start with the one you think is most powerful and if they don't convert, try something else. When they finally convert, you will know what it is that made them take action.
Keep track of which email converted the user. It will definitely come in handy in the future.
4. Email volume will decline.
There were 838 billion marketing emails sent in 2013. That'a huge number.
How many of them converted a lead into a customer? And how many were utterly ignored because they spoke to the "average" user and not actually the recipient?
There is a lot of noise in our lives. Email is just one of many things seeking our attention. In order for email to be effective at all, it has to be highly personalized and timely. Blasting emails out because "why not?" isn't effective now and will be less so in the future.
While the data says that email volume will increase steadily over the next few years, we believe that users will actually see less email than ever. More email ends up in the spam folder than ever before and new tools like Gmail's inbox tabs make it very easy to ignore annoying email. The result for users is less clutter and less noise. The challenge for marketers is getting seen.
In order for email marketing to remain effective, marketers will need to leverage data, personalization and testing to find out what works for every individual that ends up in their database. The result will be less marketing email but much higher quality.
Segment customers by every possible data point. This includes purchase history, the source of the lead, past interaction with your email. You should also keep updated segments for ideal customers, new leads and lapsed customers. Keeping segments up-to-date, or using software that does it for you, is the first step to better email.
Focus on quality. Consider hiring a professional copywriter to write your emails. Compare conversion rates to your current rates to find out if it produces an ROI. Sending fewer, high quality emails is the fastest and easiest way to pay for help from a pro.
Follow the golden rule: "Treat others as you wish to be treated." In email marketing words, don't send an email that you wouldn't be excited to see in your own inbox.
Do you have any predictions for the future of email? We'd love to hear them, just let us know in the comments.

###What is StarlingPunk:

StarlingPunk is a framework built on top the Starling library designed to add structure and organization to your 2D game projects. It's perfect for rapidly prototyping ideas and promotes code reuse between projects.  As you may have been able to tell from the name, StarlingPunk is heavily inspired by the popular FlashPunk framework, although its not a direct port.

### Why StarlingPunk:
* Easily encapsulate code into worlds and entities
* Manages collections of entities based on assigned types
* Fast and easy collision detection system
* All the power of starling performance, sprite sheets, particles, mobile development

### Why build this on top of Starling:
* Best of both worlds allowing us to mix and match regular Starling code with FlashPunk like organization.
* Fast Stage3D hardware accelerated graphics
* Provides a familiar structure for Actionscript developers
* Harness the power of the display-list, worlds and entities extend the starling sprite class meaning display objects can be nested within them
* Pre-existing Starling code can easily be incorporated into the framework
* Starling already does a ton of things right, sprite-sheet animation, events, dynamic resolutions
* Tons of tools and extensions will already work, like sprite-manager and particles

### Planned future releases:
* Integration with the Nape physics library
* Helper functions for sound effects
* Port Debug console

Rona Munro (Aberdeen, 7 september  1959) is een Brits toneelschrijver en scenariste. Sedert 1981 is zij actief als auteur van tientallen theaterstukken, die onder andere door het National Theatre of Scotland en het Royal Court Theatre geproduceerd werden. Ze heeft tevens draaiboeken voor films, televisie- en radioseries geschreven.

Munro studeerde in 1980 af aan de Universiteit van Edinburgh. Haar eerste toneelstuk, Fugue, werd in 1981 in het Traverse Theatre opgevoerd.  In 1986 richtte zij met Fiona Knowles het reizende theatergezelschap The MsFits op.

Haar stuk Bold Girls, over de troebelen in Noord-Ierland, leverde haar in 1991 de prijs voor 'veelbelovendste toneelschrijver' van de London Evening Standard op.

In de jaren negentig schreef ze onder andere het scenario voor de Ken Loach-film Ladybird, Ladybird, alsook scripts voor afleveringen van Doctor Who. In 1999 werkte ze mee aan het draaiboek voor Aimée & Jaguar van Max Färberböck.

Benevens sociale en psychologische drama's gaat Munro's belangstelling uit naar historisch drama. Haar stuk The Last Witch behandelt het verhaal van Janet Horn, de laatste vrouw die op de Britse eilanden wegens hekserij werd terechtgesteld. In 2006 bewerkte ze Mary Barton van Elizabeth Gaskell voor het theater. Haar stuk Little Eagles uit 2011 gaat over de Russische ruimtevaartpionier Sergej Koroljov. In 2019 bewerkte ze Frankenstein van Mary Shelley voor het toneel.

The James Plays is een trilogie van Schotse koningsdrama's, waarin Munro het leven van Jacobus I, Jacobus II en Jacobus III van Schotland verbeeldt. Dit drieluik werd anno 2014 voor het eerst opgevoerd en in 2016 hernomen. In 2022 gaat het vierde deel, over Jacobus IV, in première.
