In light of our newest seasonal shade, Flax Blue, interiors writer, author and all-round fountain of design knowledge Kate Watson-Smyth, of the multi award-winning blog Mad About the House, muses on how to develop a blue palette in your home.
Blue is the world's favourite colour. Time and again in opinion polls, it emerges as our most popular shade. That said, blue can be a hard colour to get right when it comes to interior design. Too pale and it can appear cold, too bright and it doesn't work in our northern hemisphere. But when you find the right shade, blue is calming and relaxing, warm and soothing. It's also surprisingly versatile as it's friends with most of the other colours on the spectrum. That means you can integrate it into the overall colour palette of your home without too much difficulty.
Neptune's new seasonal colour for their spring collection is called Flax Blue, inspired by the petals of the plant from which linen is sourced. And this soft pale shade, with a hint of grey, is versatile enough to suit any room in the house.
Let's start with the kitchen, where the Victorians felt that blue kept the flies away and often added a bag of laundry blue (a form of detergent that made clothes appear whiter) to the distemper to colour the walls. Over one hundred years later and it's still a popular kitchen colour, although perhaps for different reasons. Flax Blue is the perfect friend to Neptune's soft white Salt shade – use that on the walls and oak on the work surfaces for instant crispness. Or, with Neptune's Henley kitchen, let wood be more of a colour in your scheme by having some cabinetry in oak and some painted in Flax Blue. You could even consider the Suffolk kitchen with Flax Blue for the base cabinets and Mustard or an ochre tone for the top – very modern. If you want your blue to be subtler, just paint one key piece in the kitchen in Flax Blue, like a dresser or larder, and then pick up on the blue tone in a tiled splashback, perhaps.
Moving into the sitting room and the softness of Flax Blue can bring a warm, relaxing feeling – think of Provence in the summer holidays. In here, you might add a sofa in one of Neptune's Mustard-coloured fabrics and then some denim or navy cushions to anchor the scheme. Try painting the walls in Lily. If you want a room to always feel relaxing, then make sure you keep to a relatively symmetrical design – a candlestick at either end of the mantelpiece, a picture in each alcove (mix up the style so it's not too coordinated) and a mirror between to bounce the light around. And if you want to create something a little bolder, then consider adding a sofa in Harry Rust linen with patterned Emma cushions in Teal and Mustard. Flax Blue is a tone that laps up other colours.
It goes without saying that Flax Blue is a perfect colour for the bedroom. The best way to create the most relaxing feeling is to paint all the woodwork the same colour as the walls. This stops the eye being distracted by a white outline of doors and skirting boards. To really intensify this feeling of calm, you could go up over the ceiling as well. Then you can either add strong colours in the form of the bedding and rugs, or keep it pale and light depending on whether you're a night owl or a morning lark. I'd use the Tolsey or Elgin rugs in a Flax Blue bedroom. For the rest of the room, you can keep to shades of soft blue and off-white, or spin the colour wheel to the other side and bring in more rust, orange and mustard for a contrast. It comes down to how soothing you want it all to be. Flax Blue's always going to keep things mellow though.
If, at this point, you're asking, should I be using Flax Blue in every room then? It's a fair point. One of the question that I'm often asked is how to create a cohesive tone throughout the house, and this doesn't mean having the exact same colour in every room. You do need to pick your hero shade, however. Soft or strong, you'll want to reference it in ways big and small throughout the house, even if it's only on all four walls in one room. If we were to take Flax Blue as your home's hero shade, and for the sake of argument, let's use it for our imaginary hall. From there you might continue it through to the sitting room walls but adding splashes of mustard, oak accents, rust and patterns – both floral and stripes. Moving to the kitchen, you might use it on the lower cabinets only, giving you freedom to bring in pale shades of Salt, Old Chalk, Lily or Silver Birch to upper cabinets – and if you match the cupboards to the wall colour, it'll open up the space and make it feel bigger. Oak flooring throughout your downstairs rooms will add to the sense of continuity and flow. Upstairs, you might reference the colour simply in a painting, a candle or a chair on the landing. Or maybe you'll go the whole hog in the bedroom. But you don't need to worry about it too much. Once you've fallen in love with a colour, you'll find it cropping up again and again without you even really making a conscious decision. It'll become second nature.

For a rising political star, Paul Ryan remains a remarkably lonely political figure. For years, under both Democrats and Republicans, he has warned about the need to avert a fiscal meltdown, but even though his detailed "Roadmap" for restraining government spending was widely praised, it was embraced by very few.
Despite lip-service praise from President Obama, Democrats have launched serial attacks against the plan, while GOP leaders have made themselves scarce, avoiding being yoked to the specificity of Ryan's hard choices.
But Ryan's warnings have taken on new urgency as Europe's debt crisis unfolds, and the U.S. debt creeps over $13 trillion on a trajectory to exceed the nation's total annual GDP.
Ryan is eager to disclaim any interest in the 2012 presidential ticket (at least the top spot), but in our cover story, Christian Schneider captures a frenetic 48 hours in the life of the nation's foremost celebrity wonk, asking: "What's so damn special about Paul Ryan?" More than his matinee-idol looks.
Also in this issue, Mike Nichols examines Wisconsin's dysfunctional, divided Supreme Court and the implications for law in the state. Patrick McIlheran deconstructs the state's signature boondoggle, the billion-dollar not-so-fast train from Milwaukee to somewhere in Madison. And finally, David Blaska casts his gimlet eye on UW's continuing battle over intellectual diversity and the fledgling efforts to "build up the tiny chorus" of conservative counter-voices to the university's liberal hegemony.

711.62114 Sick/40 3/10
Memorandum of Conversation, by Mr. E. T. Bailey of the Special Division
[ Washington ,] August 1, 1943.
Participants: General Gepp of the British War Office; Mr. John Russell of the British Embassy, Washington; General White, Chief of G–l of the United States Army; Major Bernays of G–l; Mr. Bernard Gufler and Mr. Bailey of the Special Division.
At Major Bernay's request Mr. Gufler and Mr. Bailey attended a meeting at the War Department concerning the repatriation from Germany of seriously sick and seriously wounded prisoners of war and of surplus protected personnel. The results of this conference were embodied in a message drafted to be sent by the British Embassy at Washington to the British Foreign Office reporting an agreement between the British and American military authorities and quoting that text of the similar notes which it was recommended should be transmitted to the German Government by the British and American Governments through the protecting Power. It was decided that copies of this document would be forwarded to General Eisenhower in North Africa for his information with the explanation that similar replies would not be made to the Italian proposals regarding the repatriation of seriously sick and seriously wounded prisoners of war and of surplus sanitary personnel until General Eisenhower had given his opinion as to whether it would be well advised to forward such replies in view of the present political and military situation in Italy.
During the conference the problem of who was to report the names of (a) seriously sick and seriously wounded prisoners of war and (b) the surplus protected personnel now in North Africa was discussed. It was decided to inform General Eisenhower that the names of approximately half of the persons in each category should be forwarded by him to each Government so that both the British and American Governments would be able to report names in each category.
The date on which the prospective exchange could take place was discussed. Because of the technical difficulties that must still be solved and the feeling that an earlier attempt by the British and German Governments to exchange seriously sick and seriously wounded prisoners of war was unsuccessful due partly at least to a time limitation. It was decided that neither the British nor American Governments would suggest any date for the proposed exchange in the replies which are to be made to the German Government's proposal.
General Gepp pointed out that the arrangements which are being made were to cover the possible repatriation of all British and American prisoners of war in German and Italian hands and all German and Italian prisoners of war in British and American hands. He went on to state that there was one little uncompleted matter with Italy, however, which the British Government desired to pursue outside the scope of the arrangements which he was making with the American Government.
While Mr. Gufler and Major Bernays were out of the room discussing another matter, General Gepp expressed the hope that the American and British Governments would be able to convince the Latin-American Governments which have declared war upon the Axis Governments that the Latin-American Governments should take some of the prisoners of war who it is expected will fall into the custody of the United Nations in the near future. Mr. Bailey explained that the Government of the United States had removed many civilian internees from Latin-American countries because it was not satisfied that these persons would remain interned if they were left in the custody of the Latin-American authorities. He also stated that he understood that negotiations were going on with Brazil with a view to the internment in Brazil of Axis prisoners of war taken at sea. He stated that he did not, however, know how far these negotiations had progressed.

Reports: Cristiano Ronaldo joining Juventus?
A move back to the Premier League or even France seemed in the cards for one of the world's biggest stars, but could it be Serie A that attracts a Portuguese international?
Various outlets are reporting that Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo is set to move to Italian giants Juventus — who have finished atop Serie A in each of the last seven seasons.
The story was first reported by Spanish television show Jugones on Tuesday.
Juve is reportedly willing to pay upwards of $115 million for the Portugal international, which would be the third-richest transfer in soccer history.
Neymar and Paul Pogba's moves to Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United, respectively, are the only transactions that commanded more money.
Ronaldo, 33, has been rumored with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu since Madrid's latest UEFA Champions League triumph over Liverpool in May.
The news comes after Real president Florentino Perez had previously been adamant that a Ronaldo move was nearly out of the question.
The veteran attacker is believed to have a release clause of over $1.1 billion at Real, however, if reports indicate an accurate amount that Juve is going to pay, Madrid will receive roughly one-tenth of that price.
Ronaldo and his Portugal national team were recently eliminated by Uruguay in the Round of 16 at the World Cup.

HomeBBC WatchThe BBC doesn't fight fake news – it commissions it
The BBC doesn't fight fake news – it commissions it
BBC director general Lord Hall of Birkenhead has declared that the Corporation is on a mission to counter fake news.
He announced this in June at the Prospect annual conference – the day before the white-collar trades union announced it would be campaigning for a Brexit 'people's vote'. Others who addressed the conference included arch-Remainers Hilary Benn and Rain Newton-Smith, the chief economist of the CBI.
It might be a little unfair to judge Lord Hall purely on the company he keeps, but latest research by News-watch shows that under his stewardship the Corporation has morphed into a major purveyor of the commodity he allegedly so despises – and especially that which will thwart Brexit.
Strong documentary evidence in this vein came to light recently when Guido Fawkes unearthed an internal circular from BBC economics editor Kamal Ahmed, who is shortly to assume the elevated role of Corporation Editorial Director (whatever that means). From his lofty perch, he told BBC journalists that whatever Brexiteers might think, predictions from economists proved that leaving the EU is 'rubbish'.
How systemic within the BBC is the approach decreed and endorsed by Ahmed? How much has the fake news virus entered into the Corporation's DNA?
News-watch is currently analysing the BBC's coverage during the autumn of the steps towards Theresa May's reviled so-called EU 'deal' and, as always, the devil is in the detail.
On September 17, as the Salzburg EU 'summit' unfolded, the BBC's ubiquitous 'reality check' correspondent Chris Morris was in action on the Radio 4 Today programme. His mission? To tell listeners of the dangers of 'no deal' and to ram home to the maximum extent the chaos and misery which would ensue if Mrs May did not accept the terms on offer from her EU masters.
In this vein, a Morris voice-piece was prominent in that morning's bulletins. He declared that a report from 'a political research group' warned that nine out of ten areas of economic and legislative activity would not be able to avoid 'major negative impacts' because time was running out to avoid 'no deal', and that another major problem was that a 21-month transition period was not enough to be able to secure any free-trade deals.
The source of all this doom and gloom and Brexit impossibility? Morris said the 'political research group' involved was a body called the Institute for Government. Sounds authoritative, even-handed and 'expert', doesn't it?
That was clearly what Morris wished to convey, because he did not include any further details about the Institute. But dig about on its website and instantly several red-letter points central to the Brexit debate leap out.
First, it is chaired by the Labour peer and ex-minister Lord Sainsbury of Turville who, according to the Daily Telegraph, spent £8million trying to avert Brexit. The report claims he created four aliases so he could spend so lavishly.
Second, on the board of the Institute are two other former Labour ministers, Baroness Amos and Liam Byrne MP; Sir Andrew Cahn, the UK's former permanent representative to the EU, who (surprise, surprise) is another fervent supporter of the EU; and Sir Richard Lambert, formerly editor of the Financial Times. It is hard to imagine a more arch-Remain grouping.
There is more: the Institute's director (chief executive) is Bronwen Maddox, a former Times foreign editor who became editor of the Prospect current affairs magazine before taking up her current role. Her views on Brexit are also pretty clear – she is a declared full-scale fan of George Osborne's Project Fear.
For most people, details such as these would have sent a clear signal that the Institute would not exactly be sympathetic or even-handed in its attitudes towards the Brexit cause, and that any report by it must be handled with caution. A few minutes' perusal of the report confirms that it is shot through with hyperbolic 'no deal' misery in the Project Fear mould.
But to the BBC and Morris this was of no concern regarding impartiality, despite editorial guidelines which stipulate that sources with potential bias must be identified.
Not only that. Sharp-eared listeners would have heard in the 7am bulletin a brief mention that the Institute's report was not merely being reported by the BBC – it had actually been commissioned by BBC News!
And that's a smoking gun. On the one hand, Editorial Director Ahmed is circulating notes to BBC journalists telling them that they must believe in and shout from the rafters the predictions of the doomsters of the IMF and the Treasury; on the other the BBC's self-declared 'reality check' unit is commissioning and slyly integrating into its news agenda authoritative-sounding reports commissioned by the Corporation to exaggerate to the maximum extent the dangers of 'no deal'.
Question to Lord Hall: Is this not the very definition of fake news?

Riddler's Reform
Showdown is an episode of the second season of Batman: The Animated Series. It is notable for introducing the western bounty hunter Jonah Hex to the series' continuity, although this would be his only appearance on the series. It is also the last episode of the show to feature Ra's al Ghul.
"Showdown" was the 78th produced episode overall and the 13th episode produced in the second season.
Ra's al Ghul storms a retirement house with the Society of Shadows in order to take someone with him, leaving only a recording behind. Batman and Robin take the tape and listen to a tale from Ra's' mysterious past during the 1800's, when he attempted to destroy the fledgling railroad and seize control of the US government. The one person who stood in his way was the renegade bounty hunter, Jonah Hex. How Ra's battle with Hex is tied to his present-day activities, is for Batman to discover.
Ra's al Ghul and the Society of Shadows
The Society of Shadows break into the Gotham Retirement Villas and they make sure to knock out all the orderlies and guards spreading knockout gas through the air vents. They get inside the building and their leader Ra's al Ghul guides them to the room of the man he is looking for. Batman and Robin arrive at the place and they fight Ra's men while their leader goes to see an old man in his room. After finishing with the members of the Society of Shadows, Batman and Robin follow Ra's to the old man's room, but they find that Ra's has already left with the old man and just left a recorded tape behind for them to listen. Batman and Robin get in the Batmobile as Batman deduces that Ra's is heading towards the airport and in the meantime, they play the recording Ra's left for them.
It was 1883 in a town known as Devil's Hole and an outlaw bounty hunter known as Jonah Hex is looking for a criminal at large by the name of Arkady Duvall. Hex goes to the nearest bar to ask for Duvall and the barmaid tells him to join him at night and she'd show him Duvall's hideout. Hex returns at night and together with the barmaid they make their way through the desert until they find a mysterious cave. The lady tells Hex a story about a flying monster and that the sightings begun at the same time when lights started to come out from the cave. Hex and the lady part ways and the bounty hunter goes inside the cave just to find an underground factory and hundreds of men working on the construction of an enormous airship held up by zeppelins. Hex notices that Duvall is among them and he mistreats the workers until he is stopped by Ra's al Ghul, who seems to be in control of the entire operation. Ra's wants to finish the construction of the airship called Phoenix in order to destroy the Transcontinental Railroad and force the United States to make him their ruler. Moments later, Hex is spotted and brought to Duvall's presence. Assuming that Hex is a spy, Duvall tells his men to kill Hex, but Ra's stops him again and tells him to stop giving orders. Hex is taken to a cell, where he notices that the soil is perfect for digging.
The next day, the guard comes to Hex's cell to give him some food but he notices that his prisoner is not in the cell and he gets inside to take a closer look. Hex comes out from a pile of hay that was his bed and knocks out the guard, after which he starts running towards Phoenix, which is on it's way out of the cave and using a hanging rope, he climbs to the deck of the ship.
Jonah Hex captures Arkady Duvall
Ra's and Duvall take Phoenix to the inauguration ceremony for the railroad, where the governor is about to drive the final spike and they start shooting cannonballs to the people down below and destroy most of the town and the railroad as well. Hex starts sabotaging the ship from inside and Duvall decides to deal with Hex once and for all. Duvall and Hex start fighting blade vs. knife and eventually, Hex shoots one of Phoenix's own cannonballs to one of the zeppelings above, which in turn starts exploding due to the hydrogen inside reacting to the fire and heat. Ra's notices that the ship is burning and he decides to leave it using a flying device, but before leaving, he orders his men to abandon the ship and when asked about Duvall, Ra's tells them to leave him to his fate.
Hex and Duvall are the only remaining people in the ship and when they're near the land, Hex takes Duvall and they jump out from the ship that crashes against a rock and explodes just a few minutes before. Duvall tries to buy Hex with money, but Hex isn't interested in money; all he wants is to see Duvall taken to justice.
Ra's and his son, Arcady Duvall
Batman and Robin finish listening to the tape, only minutes away from the airport. Robin doesn't understand what the story has to do with the elder that was kidnapped by Ra's, but Batman suspects the truth. When they get to the airfield, Ra's is taking the elder to his plane with Ubu's help and they're confronted by Batman and Robin, who finally discover the elder's identity as Arcady Duvall. Ra's explains that Duvall was sentenced to 50 years of hard labor and that he lost track of him with time. Robin is amazed of the man's age and Ra's tells him that Duvall is over 100 years old, as a result of the exposure to the Lazarus Pit when he was young. Batman wants to know Ra's motives to come back for him now and Ra's replies that a man can never forget his own son. Ra's promises Batman another encounter, but for now he just wants to take his boy home. Batman agrees silently and everyone goes their own way.

Japan is well known for being the most advanced mobile phone markets in the world. I'd read about mobile phones being used to pay for things in Japan but I hadn't realised how cool this actually is until I was in Tokyo recently. You can pay for your taxi, buy something at the convenience store and use public transport simply by swiping your mobile phone over a pad! That is uber convenient. The technology used is Near Field Communication (NFC). Your credit card is associated with your phone payment account so the money is just deducted off your credit card. There are actually competing mobile payment providers and you can see the 3 different mobile phone payment pads in this convenience store. This service has been available for about 5 years in Japan now.
The closest thing I'd seen to this before is the Octopus card in Hong Kong which allows you to board the train and make purchases from a lot of stores. The Octopus card is an extra card you have to carry though, using your mobile phone which you have with you anyway is an extra step of convenience.
What I find interesting is that Apple (iPhone), Rim (Blackberry) or Google (Android) haven't tried to implement something like this in other markets... yet. The Google Android Nexus S incorporates NFC and recent reports suggest the iPhone 5 will as well. No doubt we can expect that Apple and Google will shortly be moving in on this market. Given their high market share of devices in countries like Australia and the US there is huge potential to role a payment system like this out and take a small percentage fee on all these transactions.


iim who would anoint himself therewith.There was given to me the mansion of a lord of serfs, whichhad belonged to a royal friend. There many excellent thingswere in its buildings ; all its wood was renewed. There werebrought to me portions from the palace, thrice and four timeseach day; besides the gifts of the royal children, always,without ceasing. There was built for me a pyramid of stoneamongst the pyramids. The overseer of the architects mea-sured its ground ; the chief treasurer wrote it; the sacredmasons cut the well; the chief of the laborers on the tombsbrought the bricks; all things used to make strong a buildingwere there used. There were given to me peasants; there wasmade for me a garden, and fields were in it before my man-sion, as is done for the chief royal friend. My statue wasinlaid with gold, its girdle of pale gold ; his majesty caused itto be made. Such honor is not done to a man of low degree. May I be in the favor of the king until the day shall comeof my death.

LEED – ing the way with Sustainable Architecture
Today, let's take a look at LEED. Which is a green accreditation used within architecture and building.
But, what does LEED exactly mean for the consumer, the builder and the home owner? Not sure? Well lets dig a little deeper and uncover exactly what LEED is and what it can mean to you.
Let us look at how it can be used to influence design and help create an eco responsible, sustainable future for ourselves and the generations that follow.
Where we are at currently!
Our planet needs us! She needs us to be better and by better, I mean SO SO much better than our current impact on the environment.
Take for instance the recent horrific bush fires, that are currently occurring in Australia. Why is this happening? Because our world is heating up and heating up fast, as we continue to use more resources than the earth can currently provide. Due to this, we desperately need to look at ways we can create sustainable, green responsible gorgeous looking, modern architecture. Why? Because, we need to slow down the change of our atmosphere and protect this beautiful world, we could sadly lose one day.
What is LEED? What does it stand for?
LEED is basically an acronym for:-
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design
LEED was first developed in 1993 by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC); a non profit company and has now grown to being one of the most widely used green building rating systems in the world. It has been since 1998, that LEED has consciously evolved to accurately represent and incorporate emerging green building technologies.
"Better Buildings equal better lives" quoted USGBC
Think about it! As humans we spend a lot of our time in buildings and this can greatly impact our health and well being, both physically and mentally. Buildings also have a huge impact on the earth and its occupants, big and small. They, use a great deal of resources, generate significant waste and are expensive to operate and maintain.
So, this is why the USBG developed and championed "Green building". Green building is the practice of designing, constructing and operating buildings that will maximize an occupants health and productivity. The building will utilize fewer resources, significantly reduce waste and the negative environmental impacts, thus decreasing the life cycle costs.
The Rating System.
LEED is composed of a rating system, which is now in its 4th revision (V4) since its introduction in 1993.
The great thing is, there is a LEED guideline for every type of project. And these have been divided into eight succinct areas.
Building Design and Construction
Interior Design and Construction
Building Operations and Maintenance
Neighborhood Development
Cities and Communities
LEED Recerification
LEED Zero
The titles are pretty self explanatory and no stone is left unturned.
The rating system of these areas is point based.
Projects pursuing LEED certification can earn points across several categories. These are as follows:-
~Location & Transportation
~Sustainable Sites
~Water Efficiency
~Energy & Atmosphere,
~Materials & Resources
~Indoor Environmental Quality
~Innovation and more
Based on the number of points achieved, a project can earn one of four LEED rating levels.
Certified, Silver, Gold, Platinum
Why use a LEED accredited builder, architect or company?
Okay, do you need further convincing that this is the future? That this is the responsible way to design and build a habitat or workspace? Yes? Well, let me break it down further for you.
What will a LEED accredited design and build provide you the consumer?
~Instant recognition for your building
~Faster lease up rates
~Higher resale value
~Healthier indoor space
~Lower use of energy, water and other resources
~Better living for building occupants, the community and the environment
~Enhances your brand and establishes you as a leader in green building – and that cannot be bad? Right?
Quoted from the U.S. Green Building Council website, Want to know more, there is an abundance of great reading material on this site.
LEED strives to provide innovative solutions to support health and the environment, while saving money.

When the previews of your latest AAA game hit the net, it hurts you to see a comment that the game is a€?just more of the samea€?.
In other words, your precious AAA game commits the worst sin a piece of entertainment can commit. After watching all 144 hours of Buffy, how much of it would you cut off to make it even better?
The point is, youa€™re not quite as good as you think you are, and the game youa€™re making is nothing special. Have you ever questioned the very core of whata€™s expected in your game like Amnesia did with the removal of combat? Listen to gamers evangelizing a small mod they just played not because theya€™re pretentious pricks, but because they found something special there, something that does not exist anywhere else. Wonder why some indie games make more money than your games even though they dona€™t look as pretty. Investigate why millions of people can be good at an indie game even though this game does not feature a tutorial you put so much faith and so many resources into. Or, to put it in one sentence, start noticing how indie games can be more interesting and engaging than anything you do just because they question things that you consider unquestionable. The thing is, however, that a bad AAA game is bad in all the obvious ways, and a bad indie game can still be inspiring.
The catch is that you will understand the benefits of rebooting your AAA brain only after you do it.

Forgotten foundations of Bretton Woods : international development and the making of the postwar order, Eric Helleiner
The Resource Forgotten foundations of Bretton Woods : international development and the making of the postwar order, Eric Helleiner
The item Forgotten foundations of Bretton Woods : international development and the making of the postwar order, Eric Helleiner represents a specific, individual, material embodiment of a distinct intellectual or artistic creation found in European University Institute.
Helleiner, Eric, 1963-
Eric Helleiner's new book provides a powerful corrective to conventional accounts of the negotiations at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, in 1944. These negotiations resulted in the creation of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank �the key international financial institutions of the postwar global economic order. Critics of Bretton Woods have argued that its architects devoted little attention to international development issues or the concerns of poorer countries. On the basis of extensive historical research and access to new archival sources, Helleiner challenges these assumptions, providing a major reinterpretation that will interest all those concerned with the politics and history of the global economy, North-South relations, and international development. The Bretton Woods architects �who included many officials and analysts from poorer regions of the world �discussed innovative proposals that anticipated more contemporary debates about how to reconcile the existing liberal global economic order with the development aspirations of emerging powers such as India, China, and Brazil. Alongside the much-studied Anglo-American relationship was an overlooked but pioneering North-South dialogue. Helleiner's unconventional history brings to light not only these forgotten foundations of the Bretton Woods system but also their subsequent neglect after World War II.--

Prof Hoh Boon Peng: A Passionate Scientist and Dedicated Educator Brings a Wealth of Knowledge and Experience to IMU
Prof Dr Hoh Boon Peng is a molecular and population geneticist, currently affiliated with the Division of Applied Biomedical Science and Biotechnology, School of Health Sciences at the International Medical University. He brings with him a wealth of knowledge and experience into the University's programmes which he primarily teaches, the Biomedical Science and Medical Biotechnology programmes at the IMU.
Dr Hoh obtained his PhD in Genetics from Universiti Putra Malaysia. He began his career in the School of Medical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia, Kubang Kerian, and subsequently the Faculty of Medicine, Universiti Teknologi MARA. He then joined the UCSI University in 2015 as a Professor in Human Genetics.
Inspired by his supervisor and mentor, Prof Tan Soon Guan, Dr Hoh has ventured into the research on human population and evolutionary genetics. In general, his research addresses the long-standing fundamental question of "Why do I look different from you?". Specifically, he utilises the information from human genomic variation and infers the modern human migration and peopling history out-of-Africa into Southeast Asia region, and how the ancestors of modern human adapted and survived to different environment and climate in different parts of the world, hence expressing different phenotypes, and different susceptibility of diseases – a field of study termed as "Darwinian Medicine". A classic model to this is the interactions between severe malaria and individuals with haemoglobinopathies (e.g., sickle cell anaemia, G6PD deficiency, Thalassaemia, Duffy coat antigen deficiency).
The sickle cell mutation is relevant to malaria because infection of a red blood cell with the malaria parasite leads to hypoxia. In individuals of the sickle cell genotype such blood cells sickle and are then eliminated by macrophage cells of the body's immune system, lessening the burden of infection. Addressing such fundamental question is crucial to understanding of disease evolution and aetiologies, which ultimately contribute to materialization of precision medicine approach.
In addition, he is also involved in the studies on gene mapping of several common and complex diseases including infectious diseases, hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. He is current exploring the potentials of utilizing genetic markers to predict individual's responses against selected lines of anti-hypertensive medication.
During his early career, Dr Hoh has the privilege to attend a short-term workshop in Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, UK, where he developed his 'know-how' in Genome-wide Association Study (GWAS) and genome copy number variation (CNV). Dr Hoh used to be a member of the HUGO Pan-Asian SNP Consortium, one of the largest research consortia in Asia, which revealed the early modern human migration out-of-Africa into Southeast Asia region. This ground-breaking finding had resulted in a seminal publication in Science (2009). His other major findings include: unveiling the genomic structure of the native populations from Malaysia, identifying candidate genes that are susceptible for malaria, dengue, dilated cardiomyopathy, and left ventricular hypertension.
Acknowledging the notion that 'genotype is meaningless without phenotypes', Dr Hoh has recently explored a newly emerging field of research namely, phenomics. Phenotype is a way to classify a set of properties that arise from the interaction of an individual genotype and environment. Human phenome refers to the complete set of all human characteristics: from macro- to micro-scales, from external appearance to internal functions, from biochemical characteristics to microbiota and psychological behaviour, from population to individual levels, and from system to tissue and cellular characteristics. Complete catalogue of emergent phenotypes or varying clinical manifestations of disease will be a reference to future biomedical related investigations and precision medicine approaches. Dr Hoh attempts to create a phenomic atlas that catalogue specifically all phenotypic characterizations of populations from Malaysia. He has recently been appointed as the board member for the International Human Phenomics Consortium.
Dr Hoh had received several awards throughout his academic career. In 2011, he was awarded the ASM Dr Ranjeet Bhagwan Singh International Fellowship, which allowed him to do a short-term research attachment in The Centre for Applied Genomics (SickKids Hospital Toronto). Subsequently he was awarded the JCI Ten Outstanding Young Malaysian (Academic Achievement and Accomplishment) in 2013. He also received two international fellowships from China, namely the Fellowship for Visiting Scientists from Developing Countries (2014), and Chinese Academy of Sciences, President's International Fellowship Initiative (2017), where he was serving as the visiting professor in Shanghai Institute of Biological Sciences for 1 year, and builds a strong research partnership with Chinese Academy of Sciences, and Fudan University. He was also recognized as the best author award (2013) by UiTM.
To date, Dr Hoh has published more than 70 peer-reviewed both local and international journal publications. Currently he is serving as a member of the editorial board for several international journals including: npj Genomic Medicine, PLOS ONE, BMC Medical Genomics, BMC Genomic Data, Molecular Genetics and Genomics, Frontiers in Genetics, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, Frontiers in Plant Sciences, Frontiers in Microbiology.

Geopolitics' October 2018 issue celebrates the 86th year of the Indian Air Force where Air Chief Marshal Birender Singh Dhanoa PVSM AVSM YSM VM ADC assures the country that the IAF is prepared to respond to future challenges and safeguard Indian skies. He acknowledges that the IAF faces many challenges and that its procurement schemes were being prioritised within the budgetary resources to ensure that urgent and critical capabilities were acquired first but he maintains that it was potent enough to deliver a befitting response to any contingency. The issue also looks at the country's lengthy and cumbersome weapons acquisition process that is often plagued with the constant charges of lack of transparency, kickbacks and corruption and suggests what the Air Force has to buy and make quickly. It also finds out what the Indian Air Force must acquire the right number and types of aircraft that complement its combat strategy. There is also a detailed report on how the IAF can counter the Chinese aerospace power that is growing by leaps and bounds, even as Pakistan is looking to boost its air power via Chinese knockoffs. Also, a look at how the repeated delays involving the Tejas light fighter have irreparably harmed the credibility of the programme. Plus: All our regular features.

Machines for Happiness
by Seth Geiser on February 15, 2014
By Seth Geiser
Can art and design make us kinder? Can we design more trust or altruism into the city? These are questions everyone can help answer.
Working with the Museum of Vancouver, we challenged students from Simon Frasier University's School of Interactive Art and Technology (SIAT), Emily Carr University of Art and Design (ECUAD), and Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) to create design interventions that would test or boost feelings of trust and connection among strangers.
On Nov 23, students tested their designs on hundreds of members of the public at MOV. We called this experiment: the Happy City Machine. The work was eye-opening, thought-provoking, and just plain fun. Three interventions really stood out:
Now You See Me (ECUAD students)
Seated in adjoining isolation booths, pairs of participants were asked to don a pair of headphones and gaze through a long, narrow tunnel at eye height. Initially looking into darkness, each participant discovered at the switch of a light that a stranger was peering back at them from the other end of the viewing tunnel. They were left to gaze at each others' eyes for the duration of a song such as "It's a Wonderful World." The experience led people well past the point of social comfort. Some shut their eyes, but most did not back away from the intimacy. After each round, the strangers were introduced and invited to chat about their experience. Participants reported engaging in all kinds of ocular communication, from winks to moving their eyes in time with the music in a kind of playful dance. Most described the experience as positive, which is surprising given our general fear of eye contact with strangers.

Rock the Boat (ECUAD students)
Students built the ultimate vehicle for social capital: a wooden boat under a broad umbrella, onto which video and conversational prompts were projected from below. Volunteers were invited into the boat's snug seating, where they were prompted to share secrets and jokes, and explore the idea that "we're all in the same boat." It's often hard to nudge strangers into proximity, but Rock the Boat succeeded, using clever design, intriguing projections and cozy arrangement to lure people together.
Laughing Dresses (SFU-SIAT students)
Laughter is contagious. This kinetic fashion experiment explored that idea using a motion-sensing dress which emitted the recorded sounds of the dress wearer's own laughter through a hidden speaker. Each laugh was accompanied by twinkling lights embedded in the dress. The intensity and pattern of both sound and light were regulated by the movements of the wearer. The dress was a hit. It triggered an almost-viral chorus of laughter among party-goers.

Daniel Joseph Schmid (born November 22, 1962) is an American musician, known for his work as the bassist and co-founder of the ska-swing band the Cherry Poppin' Daddies. Schmid was also part of the rock duo the Visible Men, and has worked with alternative rock musicians such as Black Francis and Pete Yorn.

Career
Schmid was majoring in architecture at the University of Oregon in the early 1980s when he befriended fellow student Steve Perry. Bonding over a mutual love of punk rock, the pair eventually decided to drop out of college together to pursue their musical ambitions, playing together in the punk trio the Jazz Greats and the garage rock group Saint Huck before forming what would eventually become the Cherry Poppin' Daddies in late 1988. Schmid toured and recorded with the Daddies for nearly a decade before leaving the band in 1996, following the birth of his first child and finding the conditions of the band's hectic touring schedule beginning to take a toll on his health (Schmid is asthmatic and has many food allergies). In Schmid's absence, with Darren Cassidy assuming bass guitar duties, the Daddies recorded Zoot Suit Riot, the album which eventually led to the band's commercial breakthrough. In mid-1998, at the height of the Daddies' mainstream popularity, the band's touring conditions had improved enough for Schmid to return to the line-up at Perry's insistence, where he remains to this day.

In 1999, Schmid and Daddies keyboardist Dustin Lanker, both wanting to write music more experimental than what they were doing with the Daddies, formed the rock trio the Visible Men as a side project, playing with a rotating line-up of drummers. Following the Daddies' hiatus in late 2000, Schmid and Lanker turned their attention back towards the Visible Men, recording two independent albums and touring extensively throughout the western half of the United States in the mid-2000s before going on hiatus themselves in 2007. Schmid and Lanker also briefly played together in the Eugene tango band Mood Area 52.

In 2007, Schmid was selected to play in former Pixies singer and then Eugene resident Black Francis' backing band, recording bass guitar on his critically acclaimed album Bluefinger and playing on his international tour supporting the album. Since 2010, Schmid has also been a member of the Eugene punk/garage rock band the Golden Motors.

Schmid currently lives in Eugene with his wife Rachel and their children Violet and Mikah. Outside of his musical career, Schmid made a living as a bartender, as the work schedule proved flexible enough to accommodate his frequent touring with the Daddies. He was a veteran of Eugene's High Street Brewery & Café until 2012, when he joined Plank Town Brewing Company in neighboring Springfield, where he acts as floor manager.

Though remembered today as a great diarist, a man who kept copiously detailed records of how he mediated, with skill and tact, between warring parties, Henry Crabb Robinson contributed generously to the developing careers of major literary and political figures for a full seven decades. He helped Mme. de Stael understand better the writings of German philosophers; served as foreign editor of The Times, and wrote accurate, useful despatches from Spain during the Peninsular War; was a founding father of both the Athenaeum Club and University College, London; and assisted biographers of Goethe and Blake, among others, by contributing invaluable personal information. He was a good friend of Lamb, Coleridge, Southey, and any number of writers who, he believed, contributed to the cultural improvement of what, for want of a better phrase, may be called the English sense of good taste.

Distribution layer is the 2nd layer of Cisco hierarchical model. At the distribution layer you have to make a decision regarding the layer-2 and layer-3 switches, this is also related to the cost because layer-3 switches are costly. So it is important that you figure out your requirement correctly in order to minimize the project cost. In some cases you may not need the layer-3 switches because of small network size and less number of users. But if you have to design a large network with high availability and redundancy then in such case Cisco 3550 or 3560 series layer-3 switches are great options for you.
Intelligence services are the part of distribution layer. This is the layer where you can implement security, policies and quality of service. If you have these types of services in your network then with layer-3 switches you handle these services easily.
Another important thing that you keep in mind while designing the core distribution layer with layer-3 infrastructure you have the Cisco professionals or professionals having knowledge of CCNP for handling and maintain the network.
If want to design a distribution layer for small network with layer-2 switches then you should have to configure STP (spanning tree protocol) or RSTP for better management and performance.
Campus backbone design occurs very early in design of network. First thing that you have gathered from customer is the number of buildings or campuses. If you have 2 or more buildings connected through an enterprise campus infrastructure that you can use the optical fiber between them. Campus backbone is the key part of a network and it has multilayer design with layer-3 switches or routers. These routers models may vary according to size and services of network.
Network core must have high availability and also have redundancy in form of redundant hardware and redundant physical links between your key routers. If you have distant remote offices you can use the microwave/wireless media alone physical media for redundancy. But if your company doesn't have the budget for redundancy you can go without this. But in such design you don't have the fail-over.
