Consider these essential elements of branding consistency in video marketing
Written by Ewan Cameron | Amsterdam
Ad spend on online video continues to grow year after year, and the volume of video content available on streaming sites, social media platforms and subscription services continues to skyrocket.
As the viewing behavior of people dramatically changes, the importance of video sharing sites such as YouTube has greatly impacted the revenues of traditional TV advertising. As the old world dies, the new world is born. Traditional broadcast TV is dead, and on-demand online video is rapidly taking its place.
Online is first choice
Ask a person under the age of 40 (and increasingly those who are older) where they go to find information, the answer would probably be Google and then YouTube. The reality is that we, as consumers of information, have become much more passive. If we have a choice between reading a web page or watching a video, most would choose the video. But why is this?
A well-created video has the power to communicate a clear and powerful message in the shortest possible time. As the demands for our attention increase, our attention spans become shorter and shorter and so the idea of "bang per second" has fueled the explosion in online video.
Typically, online videos come in two main flavors:
the "I just filmed this with my phone and yes it looks bad, but the content is real" variety, and
the videos that are made by professionals to look and sound as good as possible.
Both methods have their value.
What makes a great video?
The reduction in cost and general improvements in the tools needed to make videos has led to a widespread change in video production methods. Traditionally, to make a professional video would involve a film crew of a director, camera person, sound person, lighting technician and potentially other supporting staff. The necessity of such a large crew and the need for a company to employ them resulted in a correspondingly high cost per video.
However, technological advances in camera, sound, lighting and editing equipment over the last 10 years, have resulted in a new breed of film maker. These sole operators can use new technology to create professional videos, either alone or with a minimal crew. Less crew = less cost. However, with the right knowledge, experience and imagination, creative filmmakers can produce videos that are as compelling as those made by the larger companies.
As a result of these changes, most companies and organizations have taken the leap and started to create video content to fill their own channels on sites such as YouTube. Sometimes these initiatives are part of a well thought out social media strategy, but often they are established reactively, with little thought and most importantly, little control.
What do great videos have in common? In general, in addition to quality content or interesting information, they follow a consistent branding strategy. This means:
Consistent opening and closing segments (intro/outro)
Consistent music (or an intro/outro theme or score)
Consistent style or tone (program uses the same style of language, or repeats certain phrases)
Consistent filming style, lighting, color
Protecting your brand image
As new methods for video production explode, brand style guidelines for logo use, colors, fonts and overall tone, which are vigorously enforced for traditional print and web media, are often overlooked for online video. In some ways the use of branding in online videos is a bit like the wild west: lawless and without a sheriff!
As the importance of video marketing increases, it is vital you enforce the same discipline for brand consistency in all of your online videos that you would for other elements of your brand messaging. This involves two key steps:
Creating brand guidelines that are designed for the specifics of video (creating the laws).
Enforcing these guidelines by creating an approval process to upload videos on the official channel (being the sheriff).
What is brand consistency and why does it matter?
Brand consistency is the delivery of your message in a way that uniformly reflects your brand identity, values and position over time. Consistency is important to facilitate brand recognition and ensure that what your audience sees and hears is in alignment with your core messages, visual branding, and other brand elements. Without it, your brand becomes diluted, or even meaningless.
Optimizing your video
It is also important that your YouTube channel is consistent with your brand. YouTube even offers tips for how to create a better video channel, which includes:
Always brand your channel
Include logos and branding elements (colors, wording) across all elements
YouTube says:
Your channel brand is the set of unique characteristics that separates your channel from the rest and communicates your key messages and content strategy
YouTube suggests you include branding elements in these four areas to ensure consistency and create a cohesive brand:
Channel icon is your signature image or logo that represents your channel. It appears in many places—on your channel page, when you comment, and on the bottom right of videos in most playback modes. It's best to upload a square or round image. See design guidelines.
Channel art is a larger banner space for you to show what your channel's about. A lot of creators include their upload schedule here. We recommend banners be at least 2560x1440 px to achieve the best display on all devices. You can create this in your favorite photo editing software. Canva is a popular resource for making banners.
Channel description in the "About" tab gives viewers an overview of what they can expect from your channel. It could describe the types of content you will produce, include your upload schedule, and note who is starring in your videos. You can also include links to your website, contact info and/or social media accounts.
Channel trailer is a quick video that lives on your channel page and displays to unsubscribed viewers. You can use it to give your audience a preview of what to expect on your channel and encourage them to subscribe. Note: your channel trailer may evolve as your channel grows.

Reports robust ACH volume growth, describes NACHA API standardization initiative, and new programs for Third-Party Senders and risk professionals.
It is through NACHA's varied programs, coupled with our steadfast support for inclusive engagement and collaborative self-governance, that we are seeing customer service enhancements and evolution on every level in this vibrant payments industry.
NACHA—The Electronic Payments Association® President and CEO, Janet O. Estep, provided the roadmap for "Innovating to Enhance the Customer Experience" today in a keynote address during the opening session of PAYMENTS 2017. The conference, which is the definitive destination for faster payments education, is being held now through April 26 at the Austin Convention Center in Austin, Texas.
"It is through NACHA's varied programs, coupled with our steadfast support for inclusive engagement and collaborative self-governance, that we are seeing customer service enhancements and evolution on every level in this vibrant payments industry. At this event, we are here to not only talk about friction and risk – but all of us here at Faster PAYMENTS are also here to cheer payments successes, so others can learn from them," she told a PAYMENTS audience of 2,300 attendees.
During her speech, Estep provided an update on the payments industry, and new payments solutions, including Same Day ACH; discussed how NACHA is working with the industry to address pain points with the help of APIs; and highlighted new NACHA programs, including the launch of NACHA Certified for Third-Party Senders and the new Accredited Payments Risk Professional (APRP) program for individuals focused on managing payments risk.
Estep also touched on what is becoming a very familiar theme for anyone in the payments industry: the continued robust volume growth of ACH transactions.
Last year saw four consecutive quarters of more than 5 billion electronic payments and a 5.4 percent growth rate in ACH transactions over 2015. That translates into more than 25 billion ACH payments with a value of $43 trillion.
2016's upward trend for ACH transactions also has carried over into 2017. With more than 5 billion transactions, first quarter ACH volume has increased by nearly 7 percent over the same quarter last year.
As overall ACH volume continues to grow, so does the adoption and implementation of Same Day ACH. This faster payment solution saw more than 13 million payments totaling more than $17 billion in the first quarter of 2017 . These numbers represent a 13.6 percent increase from the fourth quarter of 2016.
The ability to provide faster payments and enhance the customer service experience contributed in large part to the successful launch of Same Day ACH for credits and is just one of the reasons NACHA is excited about the potential of Same Day ACH for debits, which will be introduced in September.
Estep's full remarks are available on NACHA.org.

Strong heritage
130 years. An epic journey
Our story is intricately linked to the history of our nation. As Mauritius progressed and paved the way for business growth, Currimjee Jeewanjee evolved into one of the most dynamic Groups in the country and a respected contributor to the development of our island.
How it began...
Currimjee Jeewanjee set foot on the shores of Port Louis from Gujarat, India with a dream and a clear vision of how to achieve it. He understood early on that his business would not only fill a human and economic need, but could also be a force for good. Through trading activities, he laid the foundations of what would become known as Currimjee Group—a name that holds a valuable place at the heart of every Mauritian household today.
Building on this heritage, the Currimjee family's generations of leaders diversified the Group's activities into manufacturing, marketing and distribution in the 1950s and 1960s, followed by tourism and high technology in the late 1990s. Our forefathers' entrepreneurial spirit continues to inspire us to improve the lives of our fellow Mauritians.
The beginnings of Currimjee Jeewanjee
Currimjee Jeewanjee reaches the shores of the island in May 1884 on board the « Nénuphar » (meaning water lily) after a two-month long journey from Mumbai. The young man - he is 22 years old – originates from the town of Mandvi in Gujarat, India where his father runs a hardware shop.
The Indian community of Port-Louis provides a welcoming network and he finds a job in one of the shops of the capital. Less than a year later, his brother Noorbhay Jeewanjee joins him in Mauritius and soon Currimjee Jeewanjee has enough capital to start his own business in 1890.

Currimjee Jeewanjee gains a foothold in the commercial landscape of Port-Louis
Currimjee Jeewanjee's business activity as an independent trader may have started in the vicinity of Louis Pasteur Street, or l'Hôpital Street as it was known then.
Dealing at first in livestock feed for the thousands of draught animals in the colony, Currimjee Jeewanjee gradually diversifies into the importation of rice, oil and pulses.

The Jeewanjee brothers form a company
In 1900, the three Jeewanjee brothers, namely Currimjee, Noorbhay and Hoosenbhay, form Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co.
Noorbhay Jeewanjee
Hoosenbhay Jeewanjee
Birth of the second generation
Currimjee Jeewanjee makes several trips to India, where he marries Fatambai Adamjee Bhaijee and where his first five children are born, including Jeewanjee in 1900.
Abdulla, his sixth and last child, is born in June 1905 in the Desforges Street House in Port-Louis bought three months earlier.

The business expands
Opening of the Currimjee Jeewanjee office in Bombay (1907). In a short time span, the company had grown substantially and was now importing various articles from England, Australia and India as well as exporting sugar, mainly to India.

Currimjee Jeewanjee decides in 1917 to leave for Bombay, due to health problems, with his family.
Business and family trips between Mauritius and India are frequent.
The management of the business is entrusted to Ahmed Ibrahim (Haji Saheb) and Mulla Tayebali Amarbhay in whom Currimjee Jeewanjee has full confidence.

Jeewanjee Currimjee and Abdulla Currimjee take over the business
1931, the two brothers Jeewanjee Currimjee and Abdulla Currimjee are the sole shareholders of Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co, having bought out their uncle Noorbhay Currimjee's shares.

Jeewanjee Currimjee and Abdulla Currimjee travel extensively in East Africa, where there is a large Gujarati community, in the Middle East and in Europe. An office is opened in Bhavnagar, Gujarat in 1928 and another in Rangoon, Burma in 1931.
First steps in the diversification of the activities
The two brothers come back to Mauritius in 1931 and begin diversifying the activities of the company.
They start a timber business with a timber yard, the Chantier Singapour, and a sawmill, the Atelier Typ in Cassis. The company also ventures into sugarcane plantation with the acquisition of a small estate in the district of Grand Port called Virginia Sugar Estate.
Sawmill - Atelier Typ, Cassis
In the Louis Pasteur Street shops, customers can find an assortment of articles for sale: tea, fertilisers, grains and pulses, oils, spices, textiles, personal hygiene products, Liverpool salt…
Abdulla Currimjee is behind the first commercial flight between Mauritius and Réunion
Having to go to Réunion Island on urgent business, Abdulla Currimjee calls upon the pioneer pilot Jean Hily to take him to the island. Despite the family's warnings about the risks of such a flight - very real at the time -, he boards the plane Jean Hily had flown over from Réunion at the Mon Choisy airfield. He returns back as soon as matters are settled, hence becoming the first passenger on a commercial flight between Mauritius and Réunion.
The 1930s see the birth of the first members of the 3rd generation of Currimjees. Carrim, the eldest child of Abdulla and Husseina (born Karimjee), is born in Bombay in 1931.
The eldest child of Jeewanjee and Shirin (born Essajee Adamjee), Hussain, is born in 1935 in Bombay as well. Eight other children, including two girls, are born over the next decade.
Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co invests in a cement factory in Madagascar
While in transit in Madagascar in 1936, Abdulla Currimjee decides to invest in a cement factory in the vicinity of Majunga. The Amboanio cement factory is the only cement factory in existence at the time in Madagascar and during the Second World War (1939-1945), it is the country's sole supplier of cement.
In 1937, Fazalbhay and Karimbhay Essajee Adamjee, who have kinship ties with the Currimjees, come to Mauritius to work in the company.
Fazalbhay and Karimbhay Essajee Adamjee
The Second World War
The Second World War has an impact on the company. The family is scattered: Abdulla Currimjee is retained in Madagascar while on a trip there when the war breaks out in September 1939. Jeewanjee Currimjee and his family set sail for India in 1941.
Picture taken during the Second World War in the 40's, the arrow on the wall shows the way to a shelter
In their absence, the business in Mauritius is managed by the Adamjee brothers together with Ahmed Ibrahim. After the war, Jeewanjee Currimjee stays on in India whilst Abdulla Currimjee makes frequent trips to Mauritius from Madagascar where he needs to manage the affairs of the cement factory.
Sale of building materials
The Group is present in the sale of building materials and through what will later become Batimex, offers branded goods for interior finishes such as Marley vinyl tiles, Sommer carpets and later Villeroy & Boch products.
With Pepsi-Cola, the company ventures into the manufacturing sector.
The two brothers return to Mauritius and soon start the production of Pepsi-Cola. This represents a turning point in the history of the company
During the following decades, Quality Beverages Ltd (QBL), which produces Pepsi-Cola, will put new beverage brands on the market.
Photo Legend: Abdulla Currimjee (1) and Hussain Currimjee (2)
The third generation joins the company
In the mid-1950s and at the beginning of the 1960s, the young Currimjees of the third generation come back to Mauritius after their studies. Carrim and Hussain Currimjee are the first ones to join the Group: Carrim at Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co and Hussain at Quality Beverages Ltd. Then Fakhru, Mustan, Currim and Bashir respectively joins in to contribute to the advancement of the company created by their grandfather.
Acquisition in the 1950s of the Currimjee Arcades in Curepipe.
Throughout its history, the Group has consolidated its real estate assets by acquiring several properties at various locations in the capital and other urban areas.

Contribution to the national development effort
In the mid-1960s, the unemployment rate stands at around 20% and the country relies on imports for almost all of its foodstuff and other consumer items needs. The Government decides to support companies that are ready to invest in import-substitution industries. Despite a difficult political and economic context, Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd reaffirms its confidence in the future of Mauritius and launches Soap and Allied Industries Ltd (SAIL), Margarine Industries Ltd (MIL) and Detergents Ltd.
It is during this time that Mauritians discover National soap, Mil margarine and Blue Magic cleaning powder at the corner shops, in the newspapers and in the newly set up television services.
The textile adventure
At the beginning of the 1970s, the Government decides to promote an export-oriented manufacturing sector known as the Export Processing Zone (EPZ) where textiles and garments predominate.
The Group invests in this new sector by starting Bonair Knitwear. For many years, Bonair would be one of the flagships of Mauritian knitwear on the European market. A quarter of a century later however, several factors would force the company to cease operations.
Beginnings in the services sector
Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd invests in tourism.
By launching the Continental Hotel in the Currimjee Arcades in 1972, the Group opens a meeting place for tourists, business customers as well as for the Mauritian clientele.
The Continental is the first of a future range of activities in the travel and tourism sector, which would expand some years later.

At that time, the company represented branded products such as Levis and Wrangler jeans and Seiko watches. It was also involved in direct selling of quality products to households (AMC cookware, the Tupperware range, Avon beauty products) and of encyclopedia as well as other educational books.
Meanwhile, in the 1970s, the Currimjee Group was sadly marked with the death of Hussain Currimjee in 1976 and Abdulla Currimjee in 1977.

As the economic boom brings increased purchasing power to the population, the Group invests in the insurance, energy and logistics sectors with Island General Assurance (1983), Island Life Assurance (1985) and Elf Antargaz (1987) - which distributes household gas as part of a partnership with the French company Elf, now merged with Total - and Nakufreight (1989), a freight forwarding agent.
Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd rethinks its business strategy and puts in place a new governance policy. It pulls back from some activities and sets up four sub-groups: Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd, Bonair, Pepsi and Soap. Currimjee Ltd (CL) is formed in 1988 in order to ensure good management of the companies and to act as the Group Company Secretary.
Creation of EMTEL: the first mobile telephone operator in the southern hemisphere
During the mid-1980s, computers start to make their way in the business world.
The services sector gains ground in the Mauritian economy and the absence of telecommunication lines in several areas of the island hampers economic development.
This is where the innovative spirit of the Currimjee Group will fully reveal itself. Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd profoundly transforms the Mauritian telecommunications landscape by launching mobile telephony in 1989, in partnership with the American-Swedish company Millicom-Comvik, thus making Mauritius the first country in the southern hemisphere to provide this service.
In a true pioneering spirit, and despite the ambient skepticism about the success of such an initiative, Emtel offers the first mobile telephones for cars and meets with the known success today.
Launch of Vital
Association with India
Backed by the know-how acquired in Mauritius, Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd decides to penetrate the Indian market by teaming up, through its subsidiary Emtel, with Bharti Airtel, a company with which it has a strong relationship.

Launch of Telecom Seychelles
Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd, in collaboration with the Indian group Bharti and Raza Bilgrami, launches Telecom Seychelles Limited, a mobile telephony operator in the Seychelles. It is the second international investment for the Group which will be sold some fifteen years later.
Entry into the media industry with the launch of pay-TV in a joint venture with the French group Canal+ and the MBC through MC Vision.
This constitutes a real revolution in the Mauritian audiovisual landscape and quite rapidly, Canal+ becomes a reference TV channel and MC Vision attracts a large number of households.
Signature of contract (from left to right): Anil C. Currimjee, Dominique Fagot and Arnaud de Villeneuve, respectively MD of MC Vision, President and Deputy General Manager of Canal+ Overseas.
Acquisition of the Méridien Barbarons Seychelles
Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd makes a come-back to the hospitality industry by buying the Méridien Barbarons in the Seychelles which also marks the first step in the regional expansion of the Group. The hotel is renamed Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort and Spa after extensive renovations in 2015.
Creation of Currimjee Informatics
The Informatics department which was offering its services to the corporate and public sectors is set up as a separate entity, Currimjee Informatics.
Creation of Multi Contact
Born out of a joint venture between the Currimjee Group and the international Group Canal+ Overseas, Multi Contact specializes in the outsourcing of customer relations.
The Foundation was created in 2009 with the aim to manage and supervise the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) projects of the Group. It focuses on long term actions in the fields of education, health, environment and poverty alleviation. The Foundation allows a more structured and professional approach to the deployment of the Group's commitment to social concerns, to which it is profoundly attached since long.
Launch of Screenage
Closely following the evolution in the ITC sector, Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd launches Screenage, which offers innovative technological solutions dedicated to the hospitality trade. The company provides to its customers multimedia services such as interactive television, mobile applications, contents (OTT, VOD, news, tourist guide…) and WiFi cover.
Acquisition of a land near La Cambuse beach
Acquisition of land for the development of an integrated real estate and tourism project, including a hotel.
Opening of the Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa
The Avani Seychelles Barbarons Resort & Spa reopens in February after 7 months of renovation. This 124-room hotel now operates under a management contract with the Thai Minor Hotel Group.
Emtel launches its Fibre Through The Air technology
Emtel launches the « Airbox », based on the Fibre Through The Air (FTTA) technology which does not require underground cables to bring high-speed connection to customers through three offers ranging from 10 to 30 Mbps. The wireless technology used is based on radio waves that provide telephony and internet with loads and speeds comparable to that of fibre technology.
In the meantime, Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd, which since July 2014 held 100% of Emtel shares, entered into a partnership with Bharti Enterprises which acquires in May 2015 a little over 25% of Emtel shares.
Rebranding of Currimjee
The Currimjee Group sold the 'Avani Seychelles' to fully concentrate itself on the development of new projects in Mauritius.
Opening of Le Nenuphar, the Currimjee Group's co-working space, first floor Currimjee Arcades.
Start of the construction of Anantara Hotel. The opening of the Hotel is scheduled in September 2019.
The adventure lives on
With the creation of new structures and governance rules, the Group has today set up a strong organization to aptly support new undertakings. In parallel to this transition, the Group has opened up widely to external competencies and has surrounded itself with Mauritian and international experts.
Since the retirement from management of Carrim, Fakhru, Mustan and Currim Currimjee between 1999 and 2013, members of the fourth generation have been taking over key posts in the Group.
Bashir Currimjee retires as Managing Director (MD) of Currimjee Jeewanjee & Co Ltd in 2013 and is succeeded by Anil Currimjee. Ashraf Currimjee manages the Home & Personal Care cluster whilst Azim Currimjee heads the Food & Beverages cluster, with Raffi Currimjee at his side.
After more than twenty years at the head of the Group, Bashir Currimjee is still the Chairman and contributes to guide the company in its strategy.
130 years...

The towers of San Gimignano, perched on a pretty Tuscan hilltop, are one of the most magnificent and unusual views pilgrims will encounter as they make their way along the Via Francigena trail.
The medieval skyscrapers of San Gimignano are a fascinating reminder of the might and power of local feuding families in the Middle Ages: between the 11th and 13th century wealthy merchant and noble families, the Ardinghelli and the Salvucci, built 72 tower houses in a game of 'keeping up with the Jones', in true medieval-style.
The towers were built by the families as a symbol of their wealth and some of them used to be as high as 54 metres, which was quite an achievement in those days. The higher the tower, the more important and respected the family; or so they thought! It is also believed San Gimignano's quarreling families and their towers gave Shakespeare the perfect backdrop for the plot in Romeo and Juliet.
The walled town of San Gimignano would flourish and grow around the two main squares during the 12th and 13th century. In the 14th century, however the town and its wealthy families went into economic decline, the population decimated and San Gimignano would lose its independence to be again under the control of neighbouring Florence. Economic woes did have a silver lining as they would spare San Gimignano from further development in later years, helping preserve its medieval essence and keeping its architecture and unique charm intact.
Today, pilgrims and tourists flock to San Gimignano to admire the 14 remaining towers; proudly included in the UNESCO list of world heritage sites. The Piazza della Cisterna, the square of the well; and Piazza Duomo, the Cathedral Square are a must-see; as well as the cathedral, home to several art masterpieces dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries.
The famous towers also give the town the nickname of 'San Gigmignano delle belle Torri', San Gimignano of the beautiful towers. Dominating the surrounding Tuscan landscape, these iconic medieval skyscraper are quite a mighty sight today and it is easy to imagine how impressive they would have looked to pilgrims on their way to Rome along the Via Francigena back in the Middle Ages.
San Gimignano of the beautiful towers is on section 14 if you are walking the Via Francigena to Siena (the most popular walking section of the trail); section 7 if you are cycling the Via Francigena.

Tortured Ideas: a response to Harvey Sapolsky
Peter Vale, Feb 21 2011, 137 views
IR – SO, WHO IS IT FOR?
It is often said that the study of International Relations is either for the world's people or for national politics. This cliché usefully explains the chasm between Harvey Sapolsky and myself.
And anyone reading his Blogs and my own will recognise that we occupy different intellectual and political universes, and know that there is little chance that that the divide between us will be bridged in the 800-odd words that follow.
But let me respond to some of the points made by Professor Sapolsky, if only to protect my integrity.
AMERICA'S WAR ON THE MOSLEM WORLD
Just because an American President called it "The War on Terror" does not mean that it is perceived, or accepted, as such in the rest of the world – particularly in the Global South. This is the point: ex cathedra statements from American leaders may mean something in the west, especially in Britain, but elsewhere they send a different message. Deliberately, then, I called the series of events around 9/11 "George W. Bush's war in the Moslem World" because that is how it is seen throughout much of the world.
But there is more here than the Speech Act and what invariably follows, so, let the following mix of personal anecdote and an analysis make the points that are important.
When the Cold War ended, I was invited to join a Blue Ribbon Panel which deliberated on "Global Change and America's Security". The group – which included several former (US) Secretaries of Defense and a former Director of the CIA – met several times. At the time, I thought it was a great opportunity to think about building a peace, more secure world, But as I reflect on the encounters, it is plain that the object of the exercise was to recast the "War against Communism" into a "War on Islam". For me, within all that talent, expertise and learning in the group, little imagination was directed in escaping the destructive Hobbesian binary which turned America's world view into a simple idea of "Allies" and "Enemies".
As a result, while George W. Bush may not himself have been a Neo-Con, the early running in his Administration, by the likes of Donald Rumsfeld, Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz (and others, besides), advanced discourse in US Security and policy circles which closed off the possibility that there were other ways to understand the world than that offered by power and the hubris that nine years later has now led to so much destruction – and, dare I say, torture and incarceration.
9/11 was an immense tragedy, not only for the United States but the world. But it was not difficult to predict, as I unhappily did[1], that America's response to it would not draw from the Enlightenment but from the Old Testament thinking that had chartered its foreign policy making for the best part of two centuries.
I was a Fellow at NYU in the build up to the Invasion of Iraq. While the liberal press was faithful in reporting the harassment of Moslems in America and, indeed, American Moslems, there was no gainsaying that the hegemonic discourse – to use Gramsci – was antagonistic towards Moslems throughout the world.
This has all continued notwithstanding the election of the current President who has had several efforts to engage the Moslem world closed down by America's security establishment.
MORGENTHAU
There is no confusion as to how policy is made – even in the Global South we know that it is by osmosis. But I think that Professor Sapolsky might want to pick up a copy of Hans Morgenthau's POLITICS AMONG NATIONS – it is (I believe) still being published — to appreciate the drift in my original argument. The point is this: Morgenthau (borrowing from Machiavelli) positions his theoretical ruminations by looking over the shoulder of the statesman. But, on this issue too there is more, alas.
First, in the absence of empirical evidence, I'm not willing to accept Professor Sapolsky's claim that "most American IR scholars who commented upon the decision to invade Iraq were totally against it". As I have already suggested, the mood was very much for some kind of response – believing that the invasion of Afghanistan was insufficient. The search for the mythical WMDs not only compounded the idea that something should be done but, and this is equally important, that it should be done BECAUSE most of the rest of the world – including the United Nations – wanted more evidence that Saddam Hussein's Iraq was hiding something.
All this did was send the signal to the global IR fraternity – or rather critical voices in this fraternity – that nothing had changed in American IR, despite the discipline's critical turn.
(Incidentally, it has always struck me as somewhat deceitful that the US – the only country that has used an Atomic Bomb – should be so exercised by the fact that others might, or might not, have it. But this of course is a topic for another day!)
Professor Sapolsky's imagery – "every punch is remembered and returned harder" – is unfortunate but revealing. While it carries an echo of Robert Jervis's Security Dilemma, it is not developed sufficiently to suggest Jervis's sophisticated resolution of the dilemmas he so carefully identified. Instead, Professor Sapolsky bends towards the fatalism of Thomas Hobbes and the false hope which politicians – who condone torture but only if it is cold and rational – offer the world.

The Pyrenees that have so much captivated the romantics in the XIXth century greet you with their eternal hospitality. To discover them, follow us on an exhilarating hike on this high mountain separating France from Spain and be enchanted by the Pyrenees National Park, world of magical landscapes, botanical open book where flora and fauna are strictly kept.
This small lake in the Pyrenees dominated by the massive Vignemale, located at an altitude of 1.725m and fed by the glaciers of the Vignemale gives birth to the torrent of Cauterets. Accessible by walking through pines (1h30 walk from the Pont d'Espagne) or lift (270m ascent), the lake, which bed is entirely from granite, located on the mouth of the main river and loaded with glacial alluvium with its two kilometers of shoreline, offers a landscape of breathtaking beauty that renews at the pace of changing lights.
With its steep surfaces, of glacial origin and rocky ridge, the Gavarnie circus is a real feast for the eyes like all the Pyrenean landscape. Classified World Heritage of Unesco, in 1997, it houses the Grand Cascade (422m), the highest in Europe and is an important step in the path of hikers. This natural site of Hautes-Pyrénées is located south of Gavarnie, a small mountain village (1,400m above sea level) on the border with Spain, in the upper valley of the torrent of Pau. The torrent of Gavarnie has its source in the heart of the Pyrenees National Park. This Eden where the fantastic stepped waterfalls cavort, invites to contemplation and meditation!
Created in 1967, the Pyrenees National Park comprises six main valleys: Aure, Luz-Gavarnie, Cauterets, Azun Ossau and Aspe. This area that is home to many threatened species by the proliferation of roads, hunting and the presence of man is an exceptional space without barriers and fences where animals live in absolute freedom. With its steep green landscapes, its lakes, its mountain streams and vast pastures, this huge park is the ultimate refuge of the herds. It includes 75 species (out of 107) of the French mammalian fauna: ermine, badger, bear, muskrat, wild boar, fox, chamois and especially the missing marmot since the end of the glacial period and successfully reintroduced in all valleys, not to mention birds such as the vulture. The flora is also preserved: mountain pines, beech, fir, over 400 species of flowers in spring, color this region such an "impressionist" painting.
This famous breach of 2.807m, well carved in the rock, is impressive. Legend attributes this landscape to the sword of Count Roland, nephew of Charlemagne. In detail, Roland and his people fled, pursued by hordes of barbarians, they take refuge at the foot of the cliff! Trapped, Roland takes out Durendal, legendary weapon which steel "does not break or breach" of its sheath and in a single blow, he breaks the rock wall. So Roland and his people were able to escape to Spain!
The Legend of Roland says that by his sword, the famous knight in one blow broke the rock wall.


There was once a dream that was Africa.
it was so fragile, the delicacy of a budding flower. With the promise of strength and beauty oozing from its dust and shadow of its faces.
And I fear that it will not survive the apocalypse coming.

Centre 'to go ahead' with Panchayat polls in J&K
STATE TIMES NEWS
SRINAGAR: The Jammu and Kashmir administration on Wednesday refuted media reports of the deferment of the Panchayat and urban local body elections, saying there would be no change in the poll schedule.
"There are multiple views going on, (but) we have decided and we are going on as per schedule. There will be no change in the dates, there will be no change in the schedule (for the polls)," Chief Secretary B V R Subrahmanyam said, while addressing a function at the SKICC here.
Some media reports in the morning said the polls were likely to be deferred in view of the boycott announced by the National Conference and the Peoples Democratic Party.
Meanwhile, notwithstanding the boycott announced by the National Conference (NC) and the PDP, the Centre is likely to go ahead with the Panchayat and urban local bodies elections as it feels that grassroots democracy must get precedence over any other consideration, officials said this afternoon.
The central government is also of the opinion that the release of around Rs 4,300 crore meant for the development of rural and urban areas in Jammu and Kashmir will not be possible until there are elected representatives in Panchayat and urban local bodies.
"The central government feels that elections to the Panchayats and urban local bodies must be held because strengthening of grassroots democracy is important as it takes care of local development issues like power, roads and water," a senior government functionary said.
The two major political parties in Jammu and Kashmir – the NC and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)- have decided to boycott the polls saying that the central government is yet to declare its stand on Article 35A, which was incorporated in the Constitution by a 1954 Presidential Order and accords special rights and privileges to the Jammu and Kashmir citizens.
Article 35A, which also denies property rights to a woman who marries a person from outside the State, has been challenged in the Supreme Court and the matter is still under its consideration. "Grassroots democracy must get precedence than any other considerations, including security," the functionary said.
He also asserted that there were adequate number of security personnel in the State to provide protection to candidates.
The Panchayat polls to elect 4,130 Sarpanchs, 29,719 Panchs and 1,145 ward commissioners are expected to be held later next month.
The issue of releasing around Rs 3,000 crore meant for the Panchayats and Rs 1,300 crore meant for the urban bodies as awarded by the 14th Finance Commission to Jammu and Kashmir was also under consideration of the central government.
If the elections are not held, the entire amount of the development fund cannot be released to the State, a home ministry official said.
Referring to the security issues, the official said adequate protection will be given to each candidate and the Jammu and Kashmir administration has enough security personnel at its disposal.
Around 24,000 paramilitary personnel, who were deployed during the Amarnath Yatra, have been asked to stay on in the State and they would be deployed for the Panchayat and urban local bodies polls in addition to other available security personnel.
The election to the urban local bodies were last held in 2005 and to Panchayats in 2011 after a long hiatus. There were a number of terrorist attacks on candidates before and after these polls.
The polls to the local bodies were supposed to be held in 2016 but could not be conducted due to the five-month-long unrest in the Kashmir Valley following the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen terrorist Burhan Wani on July 8 that year.

Solar storm pummels Earth
Americans warned: Watch out for GPS, power disruptions
By Cheryl Chumley
Published June 23, 2015 at 12:45pm
A massive solar storm is pummeling Earth, leading some experts to express concern about EMP effects that could impact the power grid.
A massive solar storm is pummeling Earth – the largest such natural occurrence in months – and weather experts are warning: GPS navigation tools and power grids could see serious disruptions.
The storm started on Sunday, sending magnetic-laced plasma out of the sun's core, the Independent reported. And since, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has found several locations where U.S. nighttime skies are adorned with spectacular lights and auras.
Scott Kelly, a U.S. astronaut aboard the International Space Station, has passed along many of the beautiful images to NASA and NOAA officials, commenting in a tweet: "I've never seen this before – red #aurora. Spectacular!"
America's electrical grid system, scientists and experts say, is at risk during an EMP attack, whether that comes from a solar flare or an exploded nuke. Michael Maloof's "A Nation Forsaken" details the possible ramifications.
The red color is a measure of intensity of solar activity, and signifies the highest level.
Beauty aside, NOAA officials are also pointing out the downside of such space activity: possible problems with power sources.
Solar storms are known to wreak havoc on communications and navigation systems, on power grids and on any other systems that feed off radio, the Independent reported. So far, there hasn't been any reports of significant damages from this current storm.
Still, the potential for national disaster has generated enough concern to reach the halls of Congress.
At a hearing in May, members of separate House subcommittees on national security and the interior heard from an expert who warned of the failure of America to prepare for an electromagnetic pulse, or EMP, of epic proportions. As WND previously reported, ignoring the dangers of solar storms could prove catastrophic to communities around the nation.
"Political gridlock in Washington is preventing the federal government from implementing any of the several cost-effective plans to protect the national grid," said EMP Task Force on National and Homeland Security executive director Peter Pry, during the hearing, WND reported.
He also said ignoring a solar storm could one day lead to "catastrophic consequences of a national blackout."
The Department of Homeland Security warned in late 2014 that 130 million or more Americans could be left without power for years, leaving them unable to heat and cool their homes, fuel their stoves, or access their computers and electronic devices. DHS also said in its 300-page study, reported on previously by WND, these same Americans would not be able to obtain fuel for transportation.
Solar storms stem from the sun's burst of gas and magnetic fields. The magnetic matter then travels across the solar system and hits Earth, with various levels of force.
NOAA space weather physicist Doug Biesecker said the current storm will probably last at least a day, perhaps longer, the Associated Press reported.

She is also a journalism fellow with The Phillips Foundation in Washington, D.C., where she spent a year researching and writing about private property rights.

Our Daughter is six years old and she was diagnosed with SPD one year ago. We have gone to OT for a year now. She has a great success with OT.
The Doctor wants to put her own prozac for her anxiety.
Has anyone had experience with giving SPD kids Prozac?
If so what kind of side effects did you see?
Hello my son as just turn 8 they have just told us he as spd after 5 years of us saying something is wrong. Waiting for test for adhd. I get batter he's off the walls from first thing in morning till he drops to sleep at nite. He's never been a good sleeper.
My son is 10. I'm just learning about SPD but very familiar with symptoms as his diagnosis is ADHD, OCD, ODD, TOURETTE SYNDROME, WITH AUTISTIC TRAITS. After MANY different meds that didn't work he is now on Vyvanse, CITALOPRAM, KAPVAY, Focalin, and Risperidone. Seems like a lot but it helps with his symptoms. Fewer meltdowns & less hyper activity. If he can't go to sleep at night he asks for Melatonin. Ask your Dr about these meds cause no 2 children are alike. Hope this helps. Meanwhile I'm scheduling with our Dr for another eval for SPD. Hope this helps.
My 7 yr old is finally on a med for her severe anxiety and SPD, called fluoxetine. It seemed to work really well at first, and now 4 months later is very hyperactive and having lots of meltdowns and anxiety behaviour again. All natural remedies tried so far have failed by having reverse effects. OT works well but she still needs about 4 hrs a day of heavy work activity. Still looking for a natural supplement to help but have almost exhausted options...any one found something that really helps?
My son was 10 when he was put on Prozac. By 11 he was suicidal. Really. Do the research.
My son is 2 and he has been diagnosed with SPD. He has been prescribed an SSRI called Celexa-a very small dose but it has worked WONDERS!! You can definitely tell if he has missed a dose. On the medication he is just a normal, happy little boy. Off of it, the slightest thing frustrates him and he has lots of melt downs. We have not tried Prozac but I definitely recommend the Celexa.
My son was about that age when they had put him on prozac. It helped for awhile. Then he got to a point when it didn't. He has anxiety and SPD, I think his anxiety is a product of SPD. It's always worth a try.

Getting around once you've crossed from Israel to Jordan
If you are not crossing from Israel to Jordan with a group tour and want to get to either Petra or Aqaba taxi options are best. To get from the Wadi Arava Crossing to Aqaba, a taxi will cost approximately 10 JOD. To get to Petra, a one-way taxi ride can cost about 70 JOD. There is also a minibus service available which travels to Petra from the Aqaba bus station and costs 5 JOD. We advise travelers to join an organized Jordan tour to avoid rip-offs and uncertainties.

Built in 2008, the Weston home of former Marlin Hanley Ramirez has eight bedrooms and eight full and two half bathrooms. The two-story, Spanish-style estate is located at 2903 Lake Ridge Lane, on a 1-acre lot in Windmill Reserve, a gated community of custom homes. "We truly loved our time in this home. However, as our children grew, they wanted to explore other activities, which led us to relocate. I pray the next homeowners are as blessed and grateful as we were in this home," Ramirez said.
A 9,004-square-foot Weston estate owned by former Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez recently hit the market at $3.993 million.
Built in 2008, the two-story, Spanish-style home at 2903 Lake Ridge Lane has eight bedrooms and eight full and two half bathrooms. It is located on a 1-acre lot in Windmill Reserve, a gated community of custom homes.
"The house is priced to sell — it's right at market," said the listing agent, Giselle Bonetti, who works in the luxury division of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Weston.
Ramirez, who played for the Marlins from 2006 through 2012, purchased the home in November 2008 for $3.95 million. The three-time Major League Baseball All-Star this week was designated for assignment by the Boston Red Sox.
"He's enjoyed the sprawling estate and its surrounding privacy but has decided to relocate," Bonetti said.
The home includes features such as a guest suite, billiard room, office/playroom, poker room, home theater, two fireplaces, a chef's kitchen, chiseled-edge French marble and Brazilian hardwood floors and a four-car garage. There are terracotta tiles in the kitchen ceiling to create a rustic look. Outside, an oversized pool with gazebo overlooks a private preserve.
"There are a lot of Mediterranean homes in South Florida, but this stands out. It has a Santa Barbara feel to it," Bonetti said.
Weston is a popular place for South Florida's professional athletes to buy homes because it offers privacy, security, good schools and easy access to both Fort Lauderdale and Miami, Bonetti said.

Q: How do I correctly load a specific jQuery script I've been given a script by my e-commerce provider that will allow me to dynamically change the stock levels based on the product option selected by the user from a simple select element.
While the code seems strait forward, it will not run properly. As I am fairly new to jQuery, I'm assuming this is due to me not properly initializing the script within my html. The code itself is a default code that my e-commerce provider hands out, but does not support it in any way.
Here is the script

Any ideas on why this might not be working? You can see this script live on my site:
http://www.yandasmusic.com/products/fender-american-standard-stratocaster?variant=1178632565
EDIT:
Upon further inspection, I have found a second piece of code that also calls up the product option selection box. I can tell that this code also serves the function of changing the currently shown product image based on the current option selected:

If I run both scripts, the page shows two select boxes for the product options. Is it possible to combine them?

A: You have a JavaScript error on your page because of this line of code:
new Shopify.OptionSelectors("product-select", { product: , onVariantSelected: selectCallback });

According to this reference document: https://docs.shopify.com/manual/configuration/store-customization/advanced-navigation/linked-product-options, that line of code should actually look like this:
new Shopify.OptionSelectors("product-select", { product: {{ product | json }}, onVariantSelected: selectCallback });

U.S. Steel Corp's Canadian unit files for creditor protection
The Canadian unit of U.S. Steel Corp. filed for court protection from creditors to restructure its operations
The Canadian unit of U.S. Steel Corp. filed for court protection from creditors to restructure its operations.
The steelmaker applied to the Ontario Superior Court today for protection under Canada's Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act, U.S. Steel Canada said today in a statement obtained by Bloomberg News.
U.S. Steel, the biggest U.S. steelmaker by volume, will provide $185 million in debtor-in-possession financing to the Canadian unit during the restructuring.
"Despite substantial efforts over the past several years to make U.S. Steel Canada profitable, it is clear that restructuring U.S. Steel Canada is critical to improving our long-term business outlook," U.S. Steel Canada President Michael McQuade said in the statement.
U.S. Steel acquired its Canadian operations in 2007 when it purchased Hamilton, Ontario-based Stelco Inc. for $1.1 billion. The Canadian government sued U.S. Steel after it said the company hadn't complied with pledges it made on spending and output. The two sides settled in 2011.
"Operational changes, cost reduction initiatives and streamlining of operations cannot on their own make it competitive in the current environment," McQuade said. "Entering CCAA was the only responsible course of action under the circumstances and it was taken only after all other options were thoroughly explored."
U.S. Steel's Canadian unit has two locations, in Hamilton and Nanticoke, Ontario.
Last year, U.S. Steel announced it would stop its iron- making and steelmaking in Hamilton effective Dec. 31. The idling was part of a larger overhaul of the Pittsburgh-based company by Mario Longhi, who took over as chief executive officer a year ago. Since Longhi began implementing his plan to transform U.S. Steel into a lean, modern steel producer, the shares have more than doubled.
