Equitable Commerce was the name given to Josiah Warren's social system, which combined the principles of individual autonomy and "cost the limit of price." Warren's approach attracted a fairly substantial following at various times and was influential among anarchists. The works collected here are either writings by Warren and his associates, elaborating the system, or outside accounts of the movement.

Vegas With Randolph – Rings Around The Sun – LP Review
By Tim October 3, 2013 March 15, 2015 New Release, Release Reviews
Vegas With Randolph have just released their fourteen track LP – Rings Around the Sun.
Vegas With Randolph – cover of Rings Around The Sun
Opening with You Set The World On Fire which at just under four minutes lets the listener settle into Rings Around The Sun with sounds that contain the familiar, yet demonstrates the evolution of the band over the years as the lyrics take us through some of the significant scientific, astrological and other figures in history.
Salt Water Taffy takes the sounds to a more centrist garage rock tilt with a space-rock undercurrent. I particularly enjoy this track, which was featured just a few days ago.
Cool Things shakes the release in to full flow with a track that picks up the pace with a summery rock feel to it.
Next up is Nikki's Plan takes the story of life goal and delivers a more thought provoking lyrical concept yet keeps it in tune with the up-beat and effervescent nature of the story so far. It isn't easy to maintain the journey that is Vegas With Randolph as within four songs we have had four distinctive styles, yet this is the essential core of who they are and why it is always a pleasure to review their material as although they maintain that creative streak and continually wrong-foot the listener, there is at the heart of it the unmistakeable sound of the band that keeps it all coherent.
Almost to prove the point – Broadway – a blues rock number lasts for all of 40 seconds of pithy commentary.
Empathia is classic rock and roll and a fine addition to the release.
Everybody Wants An Atomb Bomb is somewhat jingoistically anthemic and not for me.
Julianne which opens up the second half of Rings Around The Sun more than makes up for it as the melodic guitars sail across the room astride a soul searching vocal.
Snow Day has a delightful almost symphonic introduction before hurtling back to the core sounds of the band.
Late June is my pick of the release as it shows the band in full flow and showcases their talent.
Open Roads is an acoustic led piece and the construction of the song demonstrates Vegas With Randolph have a full handle on making the most out of compositions.
My Lost Colony finds the band once again in a more reflective mood as the deeper notes are given space to set the mood.
The penultimate and title track runs at over five minutes and is the longest piece on the album and the listeners find themselves in another completely different mood setting.
Closing out the LP is Drops of Gold and Vegas With Randolph complete a delightful journey around the Rings Around The Sun with a flourish.
An appropriately named LP given the vast distances musically that the audience is taken, which the band carries off with style. As with previous releases by the band there are various bonus tracks depending on the format you get hold of the LP so I won't cover these in the review.
For more of the best new releases join us on twitter.

"Then Moses and the children of Israel sang this song to the Lord, and spoke, saying: I will sing to the Lord, for He has triumphed gloriously! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!" (Exodus 15:1).
The song of Moses was sung by the Hebrew people after the exodus from Egypt and crossing the Red Sea. With a mighty hand, God made His glory burst through engulfing Pharaoh's chariots and horsemen into the sea.
The apostle John had a vision of the removed Church: visualized by a crowd who was before the throne of God, singing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb (Revelation 15:3). As the Hebrews had escaped God's judgement upon Egypt, all the saints had also escaped the judgement of God upon the nations – the wrath of God manifested through the 7 bowls poured out on earth just before the return of Jesus Christ (Revelation 16).


The BS83xxxC series of devices are Holtek's newly released Touch Key Flash MCUs. In addition to including all the advantages of the BS83BxxA touch key Flash MCUs, this new series has better noise immunity, allowing them to resist various types of noise interference such as power noise, RF interference, power fluctuations, etc. They can be used in product applications such as smoke exhaust ventilators, induction cookers, microwave ovens, pricing scales, to name but a few.
The new BS83BxxxC family includes four devices which are the BS83B04C, BS83B08C, BS83B12C, and BS83B16C. These devices contain 4, 8, 12 and 16 touch keys, respectively. The BS83B04C is an ultra-low power consumption touch key MCU, which supports 4 touch keys and includes touch key hardware automatic scanning and judgement functions. During touch key detection the device functions with a very low operating current. Take the operating voltage of 3V for example, the four touch key detection function can be implemented with an average operating current of less than 2μA. In addition, the BS83B04C operates with a low power supply operating voltage of 1.8V~5.5V and includes a 5-level optional LVR trigger voltage range of 1.7V~3.8V as well as having an integrated I2C interface. The device is pin-compatible with the BS83B04A. The BS83B04C is available in 8-pin SOP and 10-pin DFN package types. The small packaging and low power consumption make this device especially suitable for use in portable product applications.
The BS83B08C, BS83B12C and BS83B16C contain 8, 12 and 16 touch keys respectively, and have an operating voltage of 2.2V ~ 5.5V and a 4-level optional LVR trigger voltage range of 2.1V~3.8V as well as having integrated SPI and I2C interfaces. The BS83B08C, BS83B12C and BS83B16C are pin-compatible with the BS83B08A, BS83B12A and BS83B16A respectively. The BS83B08C is available in 16-pin NSOP and 16-pin SSOP package types, the BS83B12C is available in 20-pin SOP and 20-pinSSOP package types and the BS83B16C is available in 24-pin SOP and 24-pin SSOP package types.
The BS83xxxC series devices can be used as master MCUs for the complete applications or work together with other master MCUs to implement touch key detection. Holtek also fully supports these devices with a comprehensive suite of hardware and software development tools. The software includes a touch key function library which enables designers to develop their products more rapidly. The hardware development tool is known as the e-Link which works together with an OCDS evaluation MCU to provide users with an actual MCU device with which development emulation and debug can be implemented.


Chris Barrett, formerly the vice president of engineering for the Ottawa-based Stratford Managers, has joined digital content distribution equipment maker provider International Datacasting as its vice president of research and development.
Barrett said he was particularly excited by recent testing of IDC's LASER targeted ad insertion platform with an international broadcaster and trials of the company's Digital Tattoo direct-to-home-over-IP gateway.
According to the announcement, with Barrett, the company has added a leader with experience in engineering management, research and development and operations. He has seven awarded or pending patents for data networking technology.
Barrett has also served as vice president of engineering at Pleora Technologies, where he focused on research and development and operations. At Gridpoint Systems, he led an engineering team to take a new product from conception to trial-readiness, and he has also held engineering management roles at Nortel, Alcatel and CIENA.


A couple of weeks ago I spent a mindful afternoon with a group of children and their parents at a local yoga studio sharing my new children's workshop, Slow Down, Mindfully. The session offers children and families an opportunity to experience a period of time where they can be calm, go slow and basically take a step back from the busy lives so many of us seem to live today. All of us experienced some downtime and enjoyed the energy in the room that reflected our goal.
For the record, I was not a perfect example of mindful mothering. It was a pretty busy household when I was a mother to three small children and it is only now that they are adults that I can view that life as heavy with school and after-school activities. When homework and play dates were thrown into the mix, I wish I'd had the awareness then, to put aside more time for slow, quiet experiences. Having said that I revel in the way they have now established lives for themselves which embrace meditation, time in nature and slow purposeful engagement so perhaps I'm being too hard on myself!
But I digress! What we all enjoyed in that workshop afternoon was an opportunity to experience being slow, being calm, being present and paying attention. There was music and movement, art activities, a guided meditation and opportunities and experiences for grounding and being in the present moment, some from my book, Making Mindful Magic.
I loved that so many parents came and joined in with their children. That is what sharing your own truth with your children is all about. I understand that's not always possible but it was a great opportunity for those parents to show and share what they value in life. Certainly, kids are never always on board with being quiet and slow and calm but I really believe there are times for even the most boisterous child, when living in the slow lane is a blessed relief and the more often they partake, the more obvious it will be to them that some slow and calm time is an important part of their lives.
I actively encourage parents to attend the sessions not only as a powerful example but also because they can see some ways to bring the slow, the calm and the quiet to family life, even if it's only for a short time every day. The results will be worth the small effort of setting aside that quiet time. You don't need to be any sort of expert but what is required is a desire to offer mindful moments to your children be that as a teacher, parent, grandparent or carer of any type. Your own example of being slow, centred and calm is also a powerful example and can positively reflect in children's lives.
I am not saying I'm an expert mindfulness practitioner, by the way. I'm motivated by my own personal experience of the benefits of mindfulness and a desire to share that in a practical way. I've been meditating for the last ten years and know first-hand how life-changing, making time to be slow and calm can be. By adding my teaching skills to the mix, I'm sharing mindful experiences that are practical, easy, fun and inexpensive and abundantly appropriate to use in everyday life.
You'll find many resources on our website to help parents and teachers share mindfulness with their children. You can find out more about hosting a workshop here. We'd love to work with you.

The Beguiled BD + Screen Caps
As a fan of Sofia Coppola, I was disappointed with The Beguiled, a film with paper-thin characters and a rather dull and trite plot that leads to an ineffectual finale. That said, I will give it some points for Farrell and Kidman's performances and what production design I could see was well done.

THE MOVIE — 1.5/5
Plot Synopsis: Based on the Thomas Cillinan novel and a remake of the 1971 film starring Clint Eastwood, The Beguiled is set at a secluded girls' boarding school in Civil War-era Virginia. When one of the girls comes across wounded Union soldier Corporal McBurney (COLIN FARRELL), she takes him back to the home and taken in by its headmistress Miss Martha (NICOLE KIDMAN). As the young women provide refuge and tend to his wounds, the house is taken over with sexual tension and envious rivalries as McBurney ingratiates himself to the other girls. But soon enough, things start taking a turn for the worse as the ladies fear for their lives.
Quick Hit Review: Writer/Director Sofia Coppola has been somewhat inconsistent showing flashes of brilliance with The Virgin Suicides and Lost in Translation, the latter one of my favorite movies of all-time. So despite some mixed reviews, I went in with some interest if only for the cast. Although it starts off well enough and does have some tense atmosphere with the Civil War going on in the background like canon fire in the distance, I found this film to be quite tedious and worst of all, a bit dull in some respects.
The performances from Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman weren't bad considering the material they had to work with and even Kirsten Dunst as a nice scene or two, but when you have characters you had no interest in one way or another, I had difficulty caring for their outcomes and any suspense, particularly the dinner scene that was shown in most trailers/TV spots, was non-existent.
I normally don't focus a whole lot on the technical details, but boy is the film dark. Literally, not just tone. Not only were some nighttime shots where you can barely see anything, but even the daylight ones are rather murky as well. Not sure why Coppola and DP Philippe Le Sourd (Seven Pounds, A Good Year) went in that direction, but it didn't add anything to the suspense and really does a disservice for perhaps quality for the production and costume designs.
SPECIAL FEATURES – 1.5/5
This release comes with a title-embossed slip cover. Inside is a DVD Copy and Digital HD redemption code.
A Shift in Perspective (6:53; HD) looks at how Sofia Coppola put her touch on remaking the movie, placing more emphasis on the female viewpoints.
A Southern Style (5:40; HD) takes a look at the production and costume designs while keeping it period correct.
VIDEO – 3.5/5
The Beguiled comes to Blu-ray through Universal and is presented with a 1.66 widescreen aspect ratio and a 1080p high-definition transfer (MPEG-4 AVC codec). This is an incredibly dark looking film as I discussed in my review. There's not a whole lot of color which is in keeping with the gothic style so that's fine, what I did find though was even detail during those dark scenes was hard to discern. I also thought some dark shots were on the murkier side, probably so the audience could see what was happening on screen.
AUDIO – 3.0/5
The disc comes with a DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 but it might as well have been a mono track. The vast majority of the movie is almost entirely focused on the center channel with minimal uses of the front and rear speakers, with only some negligible ambient noises in an otherwise lackluster lossless track.
OVERALL – 1.5/5
As a fan of Sofia Coppola, I was disappointed with The Beguiled, a film with paper-thin characters and a rather dull and trite plot that leads to an ineffectual finale. That said, I will give it some points for Farrell and Kidman's performances and what production design I could see was well done. The Blu-ray release has throwaway featurettes while the video/audio transfers were average.

Working on EUFA Women's Euro 2022
OMG what a tournament!!!! And whatever the result on Sunday I'm celebrating working on one of the most worthwhile and personal-to-me projects I've ever been part of within a clever and committed team at the National Football Museum, a city-wide team of event planners, Local Authority enablers, football legends and an FA team spanning the country.
As always with the work I enjoy the most it involves me being part of something bigger than me.
The heritage project I'm project managing for Manchester is an FA initiative funded by the National Lottery Heritage and Arts Council which is designed to celebrate new voices in the women's game – this includes now-retired women's football players including Lionesses – and fans – as well as young players.
I'm absolutely privileged to work on this within the National Football Museum.
So far my team have interviewed 9 ex players and about 40 fans in the Fan Zone and we're hosting two story and memorabilia collection days at the National Football Museum this Sunday and 10 August. We've already hosted so many community days and events. We've played our part.
Football was my first sport – the one I was banned from playing at my school and working on this project has enabled me to *really* see the change that's been made in my lifetime. Being at the opening game at Old Trafford with to my dad was awesome – but so was the 'See it to Believe it festival' organised by Olivia Laker at Manchester FA where 550 + girls and women were playing on fabulously-maintained pitches in Wythenshawe in South Manchester. I asked one of the under 10s how her last game went. 'I did a Beth Mead!!!!!,' she delighted.
I didn't have female role models growing up.
So whilst the tournament continues, so does our work at the National Football Museum. We're processing our interviews so they become part of October's Crossing the Line exhibition Part 2 and so that the archives of the museum become more gender balanced in line with the museum's 50-50 target.
I'm working my butt-off don't get me wrong but the fact I believe my work is making a difference and I'm working with a great team makes me feel so very, very privileged.

The SROI of sport and arts
I seem to have spent this year talking about the value of grassroots sport within the contect of global competitions. It's incredible.
This year I worked on the Rugby League World Cup looking at the communication of their social impact programme – and I am currently working at the National Football Museum on Manchester's arts and heritage programme for July's Women's Euros. As footbally was my first sport, this is very exciting.
Having always been sporty and having worked in CSR for twenty years+ taking my CSR learnings and community engagement focus into sport feels natural. I believe in its value – and that's without the research funded by Sport England showing the ROI on grassroots sport as 3.91.
I am full of admiration for Jon Dutton's leadership of the Rugby League World Cup and of the robust social impact programme's he and the organisation's Head of Social Impact, Tracy Power, is leading. Both of them believe passionately in the power of sport to reach commuities. And both of them know it's not just in CSR programmes that an organisation makes a difference. It's in the makeup of the organisation itself.
The decision to hold women's men's and wheelchair rugby at the same time was a gamechanger for inclusivity. I witnessed the team having conversations about equality of broadcasting and identified community stories about the power of rugby league that deserve to be showcased to celebrate the everyday everyplace power of rugby league to make a difference in a community.
It was so inspiring to speak to volunteers in rugby communities to see the impact of a club – bringing a commuity together, fundraising for facicilities and delivering weekly moments of joy – so it makes sense for the RLWC to have had a capital fundraising pot to enable clubs to do more of this.
It was gamechanging to speak to some of the RLWC's community partners – they're working with Rugby League Cares, Commuity Integrated Care, Movember and UNICEF – to learn how the organisation is using the tournament to open opportunities to talk about mental fitness and to engage marginalised communities in the tournament in so many different ways.
That's what I am currently doing with the Women's Euros – opening up the tournament to choirs to learn the anthems, photographers to take pictures in fanzones, recruit and train hertitage volunteers to interview and record fans and past players about their experiences of the women's Euros past and present. There are so many community organisations working on the tournament in Greater Manchester alone – it's inspiring every day.
Sport is a massive part of our culture. As is volunteering. I'll be communicating more on social during the Women's Euros as part of my own archive of the events and I will be encouraging the heritage volunteers to do the same.

Proud to sit on British Cycling's Diversity & Inclusion Advsory Group
I'm Sarah Galligan, founder of These Four Words and I am delighted to have been appointed to British Cycling's Diversity and Inclusion Advisory Group. It's a marriage of my commitment to diversity and inclusivity and passion for cycling.
I've worked in corporate social responsibility for two decades. And I have a read a lot. And continue to read a lot. So I've learned a lot. I've written a lot. I've spoken a lot. And I will continue to advise companies that want to make changes and ensure they are representing their communities and making the most of the talent available.
In my letter of application I promised to be 'a confident spokesperson, a supportive and diplomatic critic and a hard-working advocate to help [British Cycling] bring in the new era.
And as a woman working and playing in male dominated spheres (law, Big Four, property and construction, cycling, underwater hockey, football as a youth) I have my lived experience of being the only of my sex in a room, in a meeting, on a ride, on a team. It's harder than men think.
Clearly by myself I myself am not a diverse panel. And whilst I am proud to have mentored BAME women, managed staff with neurodivergent needs, spent time in a wheelchair, suffered from PTSD and depression and have good friends and close family within the LGBT+ community, my lived experience is limited. I don't represent all groups.
Equally my knowledge of the cycling world is not exhaustive.
Which is why we have a panel. I am proud to sit alongside clever, caring and passionate people and it's been interesting looking at their biogs and seeing how our experiences differ. Importantly we have a member of British Cycling on the panel in Julie Watts, we have an ex pro racer and campaigner for trans inclusion, Philippa York (my Trek contacts are especially excited about her), sports club and community engagement professionals Nazaket Ali, Habid Vaghefian, Andy Edwards and Lloyd Grose, LGBT+ campaigner Robbie de Santos, HR and inclusion professionals and researchers Rosie Ranganathan, Louise Johnson and Aneel Javed, cycling instructors Aneela McKenna, Deena Blacking. And then there's me.
What a team.
I'm proud to bring my marketing experience to ensure great ideas are communicated greatly and inclusively through a sport I absolutely love so British Cycling can realise its ambitions. One of my professional skills is platforming people and I have a rather good black book of diverse and clever people. I'm also looking to add to this!
I host online cycle cafes and online Zwift rides and I have an old fashioned telephone so if you'd like to talk about diversity, cycling or corporate social responsibility I'm all ears.

How to do better with diversity
For many of us, 2020 has been a year of reassessing what our clients, our communities and ourselves care about.
One of the upsides of the Covid-19 pandemic seemed to be the rise in neighbourliness – until we were reminded that structurally we aren't so neighbourly after all, what with the differences in who has to go to work, whose jobs are more at risk and whose lives are more at risk.
I have worked in social value for two decades, helping organisations communicate and demonstrate the value they bring to their clients and their communities. In that time I have had many conversations about diversity and whilst organisations desire to build a more diverse team and recognise the positive business benefits of diversifying their team, they find it hard to make the changes.
This week I joined a diverse group of passionate peers on the inaugeral Diversi-team panel hosted by Onno Consulting to discuss what changes do have impact. Jane Rapin discussed the equality in law, Omar Javaid discussed equality in recruitment processes and I discussed the way companies can use processes to change cultures and force us to have difficult conversations.
I look forward to attending future events run by Diversi-team and learning from others. Do connect if you'd like to be part of the conversation.

Goal-setting for kids and me
I had an interesting conversation with British Cycling road and TT coach Sue Allen last week.
We were talking about goal setting. Not for Olympians but for people like you and me. Or even you and me when we were kids. And for you and me in lockdown. These can be technical, mechanical or learning.
We'll be talking about this on Thursday at 6 pm on Trek Women Manchester's Zoom Cafe – let me know if you'd like the login details.
I've also had some thoughts about how goal setting can be dangerous for me. Ten years' ago I made a three year career plan. Hit it in four. Then didn't replan – well – for a while.
Last year I did the bike ride of my life. London – Cannes. Trained for five months. Fundraised so hard I won an award for it. (It helps when you really admire the charity (Coram) and used to head up new business for the corporate fundraising team of The Children's Society.) Smashed the ride. And then came the come-down. And I didn't replan.
So I will be talking to coach Sue Allen about how to ensure I don't make this mistake a third time.
I know part of this is mindset rather than goals-orientation.
Its funny, with clients or team-members I'm great at keeping my eyes on larger goals. I must take my own advice. The communications calendars are full and aligned to their missions, their values and their aims.
Thank you Kathryn Eade from Up and Thrive for your many words of wisdom last year. I was dithering between the known and unknown and she continually challenged me that I had more control over the unknown – after all, I was making my path.
This is important for me – coaches need coaching.

Preparing for the next Build Back Better webinar from Greater Manchester LEP on Thursday 4 June gives us an opportunity to reflect on the emerging steps to rebuild the economy in Greater Manchester.
How can we rebuild an economy where people come first? Not just any people, but all of Manchester's people.
What do we need? Food. Housing. Sense of Purpose. Community. Security.
Mark Hughes MBE from the Growth Company joins Greater Manchester's Mayor Andy Burnham and Lou Cordwell, Co-Chair of Greater Manchester LEP to discuss emerging thinking on Building Back Better, business engagement to date, how businesses can prepare and how we can build more socially aware businesses.
With the recession we are more careful in how we invest our time and our money. Supporting local businesses has been a theme of C19 for the people of Greater Manchester. They have rallied around local businesses to keep them afloat.
Greater Manchester boroughs had already committed to giving significant weighting to a company's commitment to social value before awarding a contract. Now is the time for this resolve to be strengthened even further.
Join us at the webinar.

How do you keep people cycling?
It's no secret that I love cycling. I've used it for my daily commute in most places I've lived: growing up in my home village, Burtonwood, then in Manchester, Missouri, Cardiff, St Albans and Vancouver.
My London life was pre-cycle superhighway (and also perhaps a little fun-filled) for a safe bike commute so I took a break there, likewise in Australia where my love of the bus and a working ozone layer meant I didn't brave a two-wheeled commute. Otherwise I suppose I've been pretty committed.
My bike doesn't have a curfew. It's taken me to gigs, black-tie dos and to weddings. (Bonus – it's easier to cycle in heels than to walk in them.) Oh, and at weekends I dress in lycra and cycle some more.
I'm constantly told how brave I am for cycling. I don't feel brave but as so many people tell me I am, I figure I must be.
But as Chris Boardman said, 'You shouldn't have to be brave to ride a bike or cross a road.' And that's why I've been vocal in the active travel movement for some time. People don't always see cycling or walking as desirable ways to commute. There's loads we can do to change this.
It starts with listening and understanding what people want in their lives and their commutes and once we've understood what the different desires and reservations are, we can respond to them, motivate them.
People need the capability, motivation and opportunity to change their behaviour and a good engagement program will address these factors. I'm fortunate to be an ambassador for Trek Bikes who are committed to getting more women on two-wheels. This means I get the opportunity to reach more women. At the moment we have a lot of new cyclists. Our aim is to keep them cycling in the long-term.
By listening to new riders and walkers about what they want to see more of in their neighbourhood, we'll motivate them in the short-term. And by responding to their words, we'll keep them motivated in the long-term.
The Government has passed legislation enabling local authorities to make emergency changes in infrastructure. This is the opportunity.
If you need advice on communicating the short-term and long-term benefits of active travel to your community – you should ring my bell!

Using virtual reality to create future streets
In 2020, Digital Urban, These Four Words and Phoboz Interactive began a collaboration using virtual reality to change how people saw the future of their communities. Our aim is to enable people to experience the potential for their streets without using vocabulary such as 'interventions', 'street furniture' or 'Dutch-style' bus-stop.
We worked with One Trafford (a partnership between Amey and Trafford Council) to create two virtual reality experiences for the Trafford community so that residents in Urmston, Flixton, Davyhulme East and Davyhulme West could time-travel through street as a pedestrian or on a bicycle, first witnessing the streets as they typically are today, and then with some of the changes which the community had proposed. And yes, these include Dutch-style bus-tops.
Over 100 people enjoyed the pedestrian and cycling experiences. The great graphics, life-like noises and vibrations from traffic, created in Unreal meant that these were immersive experiences and had people physically dodging in their seats to avoid close-passing cars or jarring their bodies when they walked down a particularly high kerb (as opposed to a 'dropped-one' – more lingo!)
We were delighted with the feedback from the Urmston Active Neighbourhood launch event. Around 600 people of all ages, from all over Trafford came, listened to speakers including Deputy Leader of Trafford Council, Councillor Catherine Hynes and Manchester's Walking and Cycling Commissioner Chris Boardman and gave their opinions to the council. Chris Boardman talked about the need to see how streets can be – and that's why our work was enjoyed by so many.
The scenarios were created to exacting highways standards thanks to the guidance of the project team at One Trafford and the clear narrative from our team setting the scene at the event meant people felt comfortable sitting down and buzzing once they were standing up again. The initial consultation has come to an end and the Project Team are currently working on proposals from approximately 3000 comments received from the public. We are hoping to collaborate with Amey and One Trafford on future events. Our first gave us lots to think about.
Virtual reality is not just for gamers
Digital Urban ran immersive virtual reality experiences at the RHS Flower Shows in 2018 and 2019 so we know older people enjoy virtual reality experiences. We had the same experience in Trafford. We've received invitations to share the experience with people in Trafford's care homes. Again, Digital Urban has experience here too – and received positive feedback from residents and carers.
Some learnings: our experience was enjoyed by people with hearing and visual impairments for the first time. The pre-briefing worked well as we could not give a narrative when users were immersed. We need to add a 'The End' graphic and we could create a BSL signed-narrative at the start of the experience for occasions when we do not have a translator. We were surprised that it could be enjoyed by someone with a visual impairment. For this reason we will do more testing of future iterations with our contacts in Greater Manchester Coalition of Disabled People.
More next steps
The next iteration of our collaboration builds in non-tech with the tech which makes it even savvier. We're measuring the impact of our engagement in building empathy and ownership and are working with councils, planners and infrastructure providers to build safer, cleaner and happier communities.
A Dutch-style bus-stop is one which sits in front of a bike lane (or if you're in Manchester, like the ones on Oxford Road.)

Breaking the internet
These Four Words' founder Sarah Galligan kind of 'broke' Twitter last week – like a Kardashian.
It was a plug for a fruit and veg shop based in Manchester's Northern Quarter: McCalls Exotics. One close to Sarah's heart. She's a passionate foodie and even presented them with a selection box of home-made chutneys two Christmases ago – all made with their produce.
As great as the Twitter post was with all the right elements – a photo, clever tags, a hashtag, a call to action, a kick-ass story – what was key was the reputation McCalls has built up in the 100 years of their being around.
They have a good story. They are lovely people. It's not just Sarah who likes them. We'll be helping McCalls to spread their message as they adapt their business to stay afloat and thrive in a different way.
To be truly effective, social media needs to lead to real engagement, not just a like. For McCalls, they need people to purchase £25 veg boxes. So if you're in Manchester, in a 7-mile radius of the NQ, you should get involved – call Mark, Tony and Lisa on 0161 832 2132.
And if you want to talk about your own messaging, give us a call!

Communications that change the world Website Built with WordPress.com.


Utah is a hotbed for Multi-Level Marketing companies (MLMs). Per capita, no state has more. MLMs are the #2 industry in Utah behind tourism. NuSkin, doTERRA, Young Living, Younique, and several others all call Utah their home base. Why is this? It appears very common to wrap an MLM around a religion to "juice" its user base.
Amway and Mary Kay are more prime examples of this from the more conventional Christianity side of things. Other companies, like AdvoCare, tend to align themselves with Christian communities and want to align their business model along the social and emotional ties of Christianity.
For example, AdvoCare training videos encourage its salesforce to approach potential customers with the line; "I've been thinking about you, and you've been heavy on my heart." If that's not some old-school passive-aggressive Christianity pick-up line, I don't know what is! Be leery and cautious if this tactic is used on you.
One could write an entire book on MLMs (I'm sure there are hundreds) so I am going to cut right to the chase. The money. That's what we're here for, right?
Young Living, in its 2016 U.S. Income Disclosure Statement has stated the average annual income for its members is $25/year. Twenty-five bones per year. I could go rake a lawn this afternoon and double that average salary!
DoTERRA numbers are similar and show that 99% of its members earn less than $10,000/year and only 1% of members earn more than $200/week. Again, this is before expenses, product samples, advertising, etc. You must spend at least $100/month on product at doTERRA to be eligible for commissions. "You gotta spend money to make money" – ever heard that line?
Rodan + Fields consultants do not fare much better according to their disclosures, with over 96% of consultants averaging less than $6,700 per year with 60% averaging less than $335 per year. Their footnote; "To be eligible for commissions on products you must have monthly sales to retail customers and/or personal purchases of roughly $100 worth of product." Are folks spending $100/month to average of $335/year? Ouch!
My Favorite – Yoga Pants!
Mormon-founded LuLaRoe is one of the biggest MLMs running today. They make a very popular line of leggings and some of the most ugly-assed clothes I've ever seen. Their clothes look like Spongebob Squarepants had explosive diarrhea in a textile factory (check link).
The company has more consultants working St. George Utah (12 consultants for a population of 82,000) than it does in Manhattan (10 consultants for a population of 1.6 million). It's therefore no wonder over 70% of their consultants had gross sales of less than $5,000 in a recent monthly income statement reviewed by CBS, with 8% selling $0. Company representatives refuse to say how many consultants are making a profit, but they do admit that earning a profit on $5,000 worth of gross sales in a month would be "difficult".
In looking at these business models I see two things. One, it's going to be very, very hard to make money worthy of your invested capital – especially when you factor in your your time. Two, these are business models that are based on mass failure.
Are they pyramids schemes? Absent the products involved, I would probably yes. Look at their business structure and draw their various "legs", "stems", "trees", or "upline/downline flows" on a sheet of paper and see if you see something that reminds you of King Tut. The FTC has some more things you can look for in an MLM here.
It seems to me it is the products that make these structures legal, profitable, and at the same time disingenuous. Take a look at doTERRA. By some calculations, over 60% of the price you pay for your products goes to your upline in the form of commissions. Their bonuses are paid to 7 levels, with the top 2 levels paid to infinity. This is a system that seems unsustainable when selling into a finite marketplace. Those at the top can only make money if those at the bottom are continually spending money and funneling it upwards.
Dr. Jon Taylor of the Consumer Awareness Institute presents 5 red flags to look for when doing your due diligence of a MLM-based company.
1 – Constant recruitment of new members: If you see an incentive like bonus money, 10x commissions, "fast track" bonuses, etc. paid for new recruits in your downline that is your incentive for constant recruiting.
2 – Promotion through Recruitment: If you see higher ranks of the organization earning larger commissions and/or bonuses that means your promotion is based on the number of people in your downline and the number of 'legs' or 'branches' you have working underneath you to "push you up" the pyramid (for lack of a better word).
3 – Pay to play: This one is pretty obvious. When you have minimum amounts of purchases that need to be made on a monthly basis in order to qualify for other commissions or bonuses, this keeps money flowing upwards. Do you really need $100/month worth of oil or are you just buying it to qualify for incentive programs and/or a chance for bonuses down the road?
5 – More than five levels in the organization's payout plan: when you have excessive levels its a pretty good indication that the organization will only work when you primarily sell product to your downline, or yourself, rather than to the general public. It also creates an unsustainable business model.
The FTC has published a paper by Dr. Taylor outlining the fact that 99% of people who join MLMs end up losing money. You can read that here.
I have some personal experience in the world of Rodan + Fields. Several years ago I was hired by an independent services company to run sound at a big national R+F conference held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel. I spent 3 days sitting in mind-numbingly boring lectures controlling the volume of the microphones the presenters were using.
Not once did I hear anything spoken about the R+F products. Nothing to be said about their usage, their quality, their benefits, or their advantages. One hundred percent of the conference was focused on downlines, recruiting, selling the starter packages, how to approach friends to sell, how to approach strangers to sell, etc. The phrase "ABC – Always Be Closing" was mentioned often, along with tips to sell the most expensive starter packages to your recruits, and tips on how to pressure those you sign up to get on the ball with their own recruiting in your downline so that you will see more money.
I looked up some doTERRA 100% lavender oil (come on now, we all need more lavender in our lives…) on Amazon Prime and found a 15ml bottle for $25. I also found a 59ml bottle of NOW 100% lavender oil for for $12. That's half the price for 4 times the oil!
For my money, 100% lavender oil is 100% lavender oil. NOW offers just as many data sheets and certifications as doTERRA does and I don't know why you would believe doTERRA's data over NOW's data and somehow justify paying 4 times the price for half the oil.
Buying and selling clothes, skin care creams, and oils is all well and good, but why not create your own brand / private label and wholesale your product from one of a thousands of major manufacturers you may favor? For instance, if you like oils you'd be better off opening a wholesale account with a major manufacturer and creating your own private label to sell. You could still recruit friends to sell your brand but base the sales on commissions or flat salary where your company sees much more of the profit. You could build your own company, your own brand, and see the profits funneled into your own pocket – and create a sustainable enterprise.
While making money in an MLM is possible, it is rare. Making decent money is even more rare. Income averages hardly justify the capital & time you will have to invest to earn the average income. Tactics used to recruit "downlines" can be wrapped in societal elements intended to make saying "no" as difficult as possible. I'll just tell folks, "I'm sorry but multi-marketing level is against my religion." That's usually better than a "no thanks, I am not interested" which leaves you open to proselytizing. Far better opportunities exist for small businesses.

Scott: Crucial For Worcs Ccc To Have "period Of Consolidation"
Interim CEO Tom Scott says Worcestershire CCC now have to embark on "a period of consolidation" before they they can press ahead with Phase Three of the development at New Road and other future projects.
Scott, who has taken over the reins from David Leatherdale, is a life-long fan of the Worcestershire and relishing the challenges that lie ahead.
He is already working on a five year business plan with the aim of securing the County's future on and off the pitch.
The 56-year-old can call upon a wealth of business acumen as the founder of the Cotswold Group – the UK's leading company in surveillance, fraud and intelligence services – before it was acquired by G4S in 2011.
With the Graeme Hick Pavilion and The View conference facilities amongst the best in the City of Worcester, Phase Three will expand that development at the New Road End of the ground.
Scott, who has already been a member of the County's informal Strategic Group, said: "I think the club has had huge infrastructure changes with the stadium and we are in a period now of consolidation to ensure in the future we are ready for further building projects at the stadium.
"It is my job to continue the good work that David Leatherdale has started and to get us into a position where we can start to look at developing further and the team around me are up for that and for the fight.
"All the supporters and everyone at the club are looking forward to a successful season. We have a very young and talented squad who we believe will bring great success to the club with exciting times ahead
"I am enjoying the challenge of getting my hands dirty and understanding how the business works, how a professional sports club works, and trying to understand how we do things.
"I am learning 100% more every day I am here and everyone around me has been incredibly helpful and trying to help build a business plan that we can implement for the next five years so the club's future is secure both on and off the pitch."
Scott insists he has nothing but the future and the good of the club at heart after moving into the New Road hotseat for at least the next six months.
He said: "I've got an independent view and am only interested in what is in the best interests of Worcestershire County Cricket Club. "In addition to winning cricket matches the club must be a sustainable business.
"This is a reflection of the modern game and the need for continued commercial success off the pitch is extremely important.
"Efficience's and best practice will underpin the future of the club.
"As we move forward we need members and supporters to appreciate that any decisions that are made are in the best interest of the clubs long term future"

After a three week break over the Christmas and New Year period Ilford Town Football Academy (ITFA) returned to action in the Echo League. The lack of match practice and training showed in the early exchanges with the opposition having the majority of the ball and pressing ITFA back. That pressure converted to an opening goal midway through the first half where a perfectly flighted ball into the box was met by an opposition head to score the opening goal. It was a wakeup call and needed a reaction from ITFA.
That reaction came as the first half progressed with ITFA winning more possession, more of the second balls and started to get opportunities in front of goal. That possession paid dividend and a long ball from one of the centre backs was controlled by our striker who calmly lobbed the goalkeeper just before half time to equalise. A super finish!
The second half started evenly, however a challenge in our penalty area led to the referee awarding a penalty to the opposition. The penalty was struck towards the bottom left corner but was stopped by an outstanding save by the ITFA goalkeeper and safely gathered.
As the second half progressed ITFA strength and greater fitness showed, leading to determined and dogged display to hold the opposition at bay. This battling spirit led to a breakaway chance which was snapped up by the same ITFA striker who had scored the first.
The final 15 minutes saw ITFA defending resolutely as the opposition pressed hard for the equaliser. With a number of players missing due to the Christmas break, there was no opportunity to bring on fresh legs. Each of the ITFA players fought with great spirit and determination to maintain the lead and despite the opposition hitting the cross bar in the final minutes, managed to see out time and secure a vital 3 points in our chase to win the league title.


Nordhavn offers a full line of true deep-sea passagemakers with more than 15 models ranging from 40 feet to 120 feet in length. In 2001 Nordhavn became the first builder to take one of its own boats, a smaller N40, around the world in 27 weeks.
Worth Noting: In 2001 Nordhavn became the first builder to take one of its own boats, a smaller N40, around the world in 27 weeks.
Jim Leishman, Dan Streech, and Joe Meglen formed a small brokerage in Dana Point, California in 1974, today known as PAE (Pacific Asian Enterprises). PAE began its operations with importing Transpac Yachts from Taiwan.
Al Mason, yacht designer, was the appointed naval architect for PAE's first project. The Mason 43 sailboat was the first PAE/Mason design followed by the M63, M53, M53cc, and M33. Between 1978 and 1985, PAE/Mason built 132 "3" series sailboats.
In the late 1980's during the decline of the cruising sailboat market, the PAE team began designing the 46 Nordhavn (N46), a new kind of powerboat. The boat was named Nordhavn, Norwegian for "North Harbor" because of its resemblance to the North Sea fishing trawlers. By early 1989, Hull #1 of the N46 was completed and shipped, and in 1993, it was sold to an Indonesian industrialist and delivered to Singapore.
PAE's second Nordhavn design was the N62, which was accepted by Ta Shing in 1991. Luxury tax made it a slow start for the second N62 order. Nearly 18 months later when the tax was repealed, Hull #2 was ordered, and N46 orders were coming in fast, commencing the "golden 90's." Steady growth allowed for the launch of the N50, produced by South Coast in 1995, and the N57, built by Ta Shing in 1996.

Ask your parents which career they dreamed of following when they were children, and they are most likely to reply: "I wanted to be either a teacher, doctor or a police officer." That is a common answer from their generation. There were not too many careers to choose from in those days, but this is no longer the case.
Having all these choices is something that can be both a blessing and a curse. Some people choose to study a particular career only to learn that it is not really their calling, and they drop out. It can be problematic finding what you love to do.
Thembinkosi Matika, who is twenty-seven and from Khayelitsha in Cape Town, is one such person who has had several false-career starts.
He first enrolled at the University of the Western Cape (UWC) in 2007 to study Medical Bioscience. "In 2008 I dropped out because I found out that Medical Bioscience was not my calling," he says.
This was the start of a nightmare and soon circumstances forced him to resort to illegal dealings – just to keep body and the soul together.
"After dropping out I got a job as a barman and I got paid peanuts, so I decided to sell drugs. I started with dagga and I moved to mandrax and tik. I worked as a barman and sold drugs for two years, 2009–2011," he explains.
The bar he worked in may have paid him 'peanuts', but he soon learned that crime does not pay a thing. "In 2011 I got arrested for selling drugs and I spent three days in jail," says Thembinkosi. He was acquitted as he was a first time offender.
A child does not know how a hotplate burns until they touch it, and sometimes in life people go through harsh experiences so they do not make the same mistakes in future. "That event gave me a wake-up call. When I got out of jail I turned my life around. I applied for a child and youth care internship job at Afrika Tikkun and got it. In 2012, Afrika Tikkun sent me to Educo Africa's personal development camp to build our capacity to work with children and youth."
Afrika Tikkun is a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) that aims to develop children into tomorrow's productive citizens, and contributing members of the community.
Educo Africa believes in helping to create active youth via experiential learning. They work with disadvantaged communities and assist in developing self-esteem and personal development. "I was given an opportunity by Educo Africa to manage their Social Enterprise Programme," says Thembinkosi.
Thembinkosi then co-founded the popular hip hop show in 2009, Royal Open Mic Sessions (ROMS) street talk in an attempt to help keep Cape Town youth busy and off the streets.
"ROMS street talk is a series of hip hop documentaries that aims at promoting street hustles within the hip hop community." Thembinkosi explains passionately. The film features recording sessions, performances, rehearsals, street fashion, battles, artist profiles, poets, record label profiling, music business, radio interviews, hip hop supporters and producers. (To view more street talk clips search for Terror DaPromoter on YouTube).
He is also now the Managing Director (MD) at Amanhlane Farmers and Multipurpose Cooperative, co-founder of Terror DaPromoter Production and Management.
He says these career events have shaped and made him who he is today. He feels he was a rough diamond who has been through a 'polishing' process.
He also credits religion for his turnaround. "I found God. I'm now a member of Good News Community Church and when I look back I realise that He has been working miracles in my life," says the young man.
Thembinkosi concludes by quoting one of his role models, the famous entrepreneur and television presenter DJ Sbu: "When others see a glass half empty, hustlers like me, see it half full."

This is beautiful. I myself had few false career starts and dropped out from varsity after discovering I wasn't in the right stream. Pressure from family made me register courses I never dreamed of up until I could stand for myself and pursue what I always wanted, Business. Entrepreneurship was the only passion since I was very young, my dad was a government employee but made more money in business than his Job. He was always my role model. I discovered that it's not your degree or PhD that makes you succeed in life, but your success is in you and always been. You can make it anywhere, all you need is passion for what you Do, knowledge for your industry and perseverance through it all.

Not a single soul knows how to change their past.But the key is to work on becoming a better person than you were in the past.For others it's rebuilding a new foundation for the future. Life is full of highs & lows.It's up to you what you make out of it.Do everything you can to keel moving &not remaining in the same place.Life is good & it goes on with or without the bad negativities..

Елізійні системи - різновид пластових напірних систем  в яких розподіл напорів обумовлено в основному ущільненням самих колекторів. Елізійні системи характерні, отже, для відносно древніх відкладень.
У елізійній системі областю живлення є найбільш занурена частина пласта-колектора. Звідси вода, що надійшла в неї, переміщується в напрямку повстання пласта до областей розвантаження, коли є зв'язок пласта-колектора з земною поверхнею, або до кордонів поширення пласта-колектора, якщо такого зв'язку немає. У першому випадку прийнято називати елізійні системи напівзакритими, у другому - закритими.

Міграція вуглеводневих флюїдів у гірських породах часто супроводжується циркуляцією підземних вод термогідродинамічних, елізійних та інфільтраційних природних водонапірних систем.
