Jeremiah 2:2-3
2:2 "Go and declare in the hearing of the people of Jerusalem: 1 'This is what the Lord says: "I have fond memories of you, 2 how devoted you were to me in your early years. 3 I remember how you loved me like a new bride; you followed me through the wilderness, through a land that had never been planted. 2:3 Israel was set apart to the Lord; they were like the first fruits of a harvest to him. 4 All who tried to devour them were punished; disaster came upon them," says the Lord.'"

2 tn Heb "I remember to/for you."
3 tn Heb "the loyal love of your youth."
sn The Hebrew word translated "how devoted you were" (חֶסֶד, khesed) refers metaphorically to the devotion of a new bride to her husband. In typical Hebraic fashion, contemporary Israel is identified with early Israel after she first entered into covenant with (= married) the Lord. The reference to her earlier devotion is not absolute but relative. Compared to her unfaithfulness in worshiping other gods after she got into the land, the murmuring and complaining in the wilderness are ignored.
4 sn Heb "the first fruits of his harvest." Many commentators see the figure here as having theological significance for the calling of the Gentiles. It is likely, however, that in this context the metaphor – here rendered as a simile – is intended to bring out the special relationship and inviolability that Israel had with God. As the first fruits were the special possession of the Lord, to be eaten only by the priests and off limits to the common people, so Israel was God's special possession and was not to be "eaten" by the nations.

Time between Christmas and New Year seems to have speeded up, leaving me wondering whether I have enough to collate to create a week's worth of photos. If you're trying to blog more this year and looking for inspiration, be sure to visit Nat for plenty of ideas.
1. I have begun using the beautiful new pattern weights I got for Christmas. So much prettier than shop bought.
2. I rediscovered charity shops as a source of vintage sewing supplies.
3. Beautiful early morning dog walks.
4. Took a trip to snowy Retford.
5. Started, and finished, my first Dahlia, blog post to follow.
6. Kissed goodbye to the beautiful Christmas tree.
All being well, I'll be back next week at the latest, with seven more snippets of my life. For everyone back at work on Monday, I wish you well! Have a great week.
Thanks! I am missing the prettiness of snowy walks but not the dicing with death aspect! Hope your Monday went well, or at least quickly!
A newly organized sewing room – how fabulous! I kitted mine out with mainly Ikea units too. Our tree is staying up until the weekend when we're having our annual post-Christmas supper for a dozen friends. Any excuse really; it feels so bare and echoey when the decorations are stored for another year doesn't it?

New Deal artifacts unveiled at TVA building
By BEN POUNDS
Oak Ridger
AP-TN--Exchange-Historic Kiln
NORRIS, Tenn. (AP) — A 2016 lightning strike at a TVA building led to a discovery that TVA archaeologist Marianne Shuler described, appropriately, as "shocking."
During renovations after the fire, workers found brick work covering a 1937 electric kiln which TVA had used to demonstrate some of the uses for new electricity in the region. The large tunnel kiln was used to "fire" glazed pottery, dishware and porcelain at the former Norris Ceramics Research Laboratory, according to TVA information.
Reporters gathered recently for a chance to see the kiln. TVA representatives showed them photographs of teapots from the kiln. Pottery from the kiln was sold at a small shop which then First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt visited.
After looking at those photographs, the reporters came, one by one to look at the inside of the brick structure.
"What you're going to see today is something that's never before been seen by the public," TVA spokesman Mike Bradley told the print and television reporters, assembled in Norris at what is now the TVA Norris Engineering Lab Complex.
"It's kind of rusty and dirty in there," Shuler said, warning the reporters to wear hard hats and be careful about touching the structure's walls.
Shuler called the kiln a "huge part of TVA history."
The kiln was electric, not gas-powered like most in the USA at that time. She said the kiln was intended to show off some uses for electricity. TVA had recently begun working on supplying electricity to the area with the start of construction on Norris Dam in 1933.
"The idea was that they would create a laboratory where they would learn how they could use the new electricity that they were making from the dam to fire ceramic ware and create very fine ceramics that could be used to compete in foreign markets," the archaeologist said. She also said TVA researched the use of North Carolina clay, called kaolin, for these projects.
"They wanted to see if they could do that and prove the market and then be able to share that with the people in the region who are interested in this industry," she said.
Shuler said the TVA Director Arthur Morgan and ceramics engineer Robert Gould started on the project and created a laboratory in 1934, just one year after the dam's construction started. Norris Dam's construction finished in 1936.
TVA completed construction of the kiln the following year in June 1937, after years of testing.
Shuler described the kiln at that time as a "55 foot long continuous tunnel." She said there was "some sort of machine" that moved the materials around.
Shuler said to understand the kiln's operation, archaeologists will need to "get inside" the tunnel itself, which she said she had not yet done.
In 1938, TVA presented the research to the public, proving that a high temperature electric kiln could compete with gas kilns. Shuler said another federal agency, the U.S. Bureau of Mines took over the site at that time and used the kiln to extract minerals. It held the site until 1965.
Shuler and others mentioned that the kiln area, as it appears now, may include some of the Bureau's changes, such as a restroom to one side of the kiln and a central area of unclear purpose, which the reporters entered to take photographs.
Later during that time, Shuler said, the Bureau of Mines "came to a point where they did not need the kiln any more" and constructed a carpentry shed, leaving the kiln "walled over and completely forgotten about."
Shuler said TVA took over the site again in 1965 but did not know any remnants of the kiln had survived. Bradley said TVA had offices in the building as part of the TVA Norris Engineering Lab Complex.
Then, lightning struck the building, causing a fire. After the fire, workers cleaned up the damaged area.
Shuler said that during the cleanup, these workers had spotted "extensive brickwork" behind a wall. They notified TVA's archeologists, who investigated and found the kiln.
Shuler said she would like to preserve the kiln for public education.
"It's a huge, huge, significant resource to TVA and important to our history and who we are and the things that we've done," she said.
Also on display were some plates that Shuler said had been fired in the kiln. She said she found them under another building's crawlspace, placed there for unknown reasons, but possibly to preserve them.

The KCC Decides Unanimously That "Infinity Challenge" Should Get a Penalty
by C. Sin
In mid-September, the popular weekend variety program "Infinity Challenge" had gotten a legal warning from the Korea Broadcasting and Communications Review Committee (KCC). According to the KCC, "Infinity Challenge" would have broken several rules by exposing viewers to rude behavior and indirect advertising of certain brands.
On September 29, members and officials of the KCC gathered for an official meeting. Eight officials decided unanimously that the program should get a penalty for breaking the following rules: Article 27 (maintaining dignity), Article 36 (depiction of violence), Article 44 (level of acceptance), Article 51 (broadcast language) and the program also got penalty points for indirectly advertising the brand "Nike", without mentioning its sponsorship (Article 46).
According to the vice-president (Kwon Hyuk Bu) of the committee, "These measures were highly needed, or else the program could have gotten much worse in the future. We especially reviewed the behavior of all the members of the program and their behavior was just unacceptable. For instance, the 'butt-slapping' game, this game is played by little children. The fact that grown men are displaying these kinds of behavior on national television brings the level of the whole program down."
Vice-president Kwon continued about the "Nike" advertising and stated, "I called two media representatives and asked whether they knew about the fact that 'Infinity Challenge' has indirectly advertised the 'Nike' brand five times on the air. They answered they did not know anything about this." He continued, "This would be unacceptable in foreign countries like Japan, France and Germany."
The complaints were based on the episodes of July 2, July 9, July 23 and July 30. These episodes appeared to contain loud yelling, indirect advertising and vulgar subtitles like "die x6".
These penalty points will be deducted from the total amount of points that the broadcasters have. It is considered as a lighter penalty form and will not have any influence on the airing and other production and distribution activities of the program.

The European Court of Human Rights has ruled Germany was within its rights to convict British bishop Richard Williamson of Holocaust denial. Mr Williamson, 78, sparked an outcry in 2009 by denying that the Nazis used gas chambers during the systematic murder of six million Jews during World War II.
His lawyers tried to argue he should not had been convicted because the comment was made during a television interview broadcast in Sweden, where Holocaust denial is not illegal. But the interview was recorded in Germany, where it is a criminal offence to dispute the mass murder of Jews by the Nazis.
Mr Williamson was convicted of incitement to hatred and ordered to pay a 12,000-euro (£10,500) fine, which was reduced to 1,800 euros (£1,600) in 2013 after a series of legal challenges.
The European court said it found no reason to disagree with the German ruling that Mr Williamson's 'denial and downplaying of the genocide perpetrated against the Jews had disparaged the dignity of the Jewish victims'.
It pointed out that Mr Williamson knew his comments were illegal in Germany, and confirmed that since the interview was recorded there it was legal to prosecute the case in the country. He did not seek to make special arrangements to ensure that the interview would not be available beyond Sweden, and would have been aware that it would have been accessible elsewhere via satellite TV and the internet, it agreed.
Mr Williamson was formerly a member of the ultra-conservative Society of Saint Pius X but was kicked out in 2012 for disobeying orders from his superiors. He was excommunicated by the Vatican in 1988 after he was ordained by a fundamentalist archbishop against papal orders. He was allowed back into the Church in 2009 as part of a move by then pope Benedict to heal a rift between the Vatican and fundamentalists.
That decision came days after the airing of Mr Williamson's Holocaust-denying Swedish interview.
An embarrassed Vatican said it had not been aware of the comments.
Mr Williamson was excommunicated for a second time in 2015 after he consecrated a new bishop in Brazil despite not being authorised to do so.

This picture shows autoclave number 2, seen from the "dirty" clothing side. Infected clothing was put on hangers attached to a trolley and pushed inside the chamber. Dirty clothes were put on hangers on a trolley which was pushed into the chamber on two short rails. The disinfection stations were constructed with double doors so that the infected and cleaned clothes would not be mixed together. This picture was taken while the camp was operational.
This article will discuss attempts by chemists to discredit scientific reports which disprove the existence of homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz/Birkenau during World War II.
In 1988, the Canadian government put Ernst Zündel on trial a second time for the criminal offense of knowingly disseminating false news about "the Holocaust." As part of his defense in this trial, Zündel commissioned the American gas-chamber expert Fred Leuchter to make a scientific examination of the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek. The resulting Leuchter Report is the first scientific study of the alleged German homicidal gas chambers.
In addition to reporting that the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz, Birkenau and Majdanek were structurally unsuitable for gassing, Leuchter researched the chemical properties of the Zyklon B fumigant. Leuchter found that Zyklon B is a highly toxic compound that releases deadly hydrogen cyanide gas. The released hydrogen cyanide gas clings to surfaces and reacts chemically with materials containing iron, forming ferrocyanide compounds that have a distinctive blue color called Prussian Blue. Since building materials normally contain a certain amount of rust (iron oxide, usually between one and four percent), repeated exposure to hydrogen cyanide gas would result in Prussian Blue staining on the walls of the alleged gas chambers.
Leuchter took forensic samples from the alleged gas chambers at the visited sites and a control sample from the delousing facility at Birkenau. The samples were analyzed by an independent laboratory in the United States. The laboratory found no significant ferrocyanide compound traces in the samples taken from the alleged homicidal gas chambers, but the sample from a wall of the Birkenau delousing facility had heavy concentrations of the ferrocyanide compounds. Leuchter concluded that this result would be impossible if the alleged homicidal gas chambers had been repeatedly exposed to hydrogen cyanide gas.
Germar Rudolf, a certified chemist, expanded on Leuchter's work by writing the Rudolf Report in the spring of 1992. The Rudolf Report, which has been updated and revised several times, focused on engineering and chemical aspects of the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz and Birkenau. Rudolf observed in his on-site examinations that all of the delousing facilities at Auschwitz, Birkenau, Stutthof and Majdanek have one thing in common: their walls are permeated with Prussian Blue. Not only the inner surfaces, but also the outside walls and the mortar between the bricks of the delousing facilities have Prussian Blue staining. Nothing of this sort can be observed in any of the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz and Birkenau.
Rudolf also took samples from the alleged homicidal gas chambers and the delousing facilities at Auschwitz and Birkenau. Similar to Leuchter's samples, the alleged homicidal gas chambers exhibit only insignificant traces of ferrocyanide residue on the same order of magnitude found in any other building. The samples from the delousing chambers, however, all showed very high ferrocyanide residues. Rudolf determined that, if mass execution gassings with hydrocyanic acid had taken place in the alleged homicidal gas chambers, the rooms in the alleged homicidal gas chambers would exhibit similar ferrocyanide residue as the delousing chambers. Therefore, Rudolf concluded that mass gassings with Zyklon B did not occur in the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz and Birkenau.
The Kraków Institute of Forensic Research published results in 1994 that attempted to refute the Leuchter Report. The team from this forensic institute led by Dr. Jan Markiewicz claims not to have understood how it was possible for Prussian Blue to have formed in walls as a result of their being exposed to hydrogen cyanide gas. The researchers therefore excluded Prussian Blue and similar iron cyanide compounds from their analyses, resulting in much lower cyanide traces for the delousing chambers. Their analysis made it practically impossible to distinguish between rooms massively exposed to hydrogen cyanide and those which were not: all would have a cyanide residue of close to zero. The Kraków researchers concluded from their analysis that since the gas chambers and delousing facilities all had the same amount of cyanide residues, humans were gassed in the gas chambers.
When the Auschwitz museum was confronted with the fact that the innocuous delousing chambers at Auschwitz have blue walls–due to being saturated with blue iron cyanide compounds–but the alleged homicidal gas chambers have not, they commissioned their own chemical research. Instead of testing wall samples for the chemicals that had caused the blue stains, the researchers they commissioned simply excluded those chemicals from their analysis by employing a procedure that could not detect them. They justified this measure with the claim that they did not understand exactly how these compounds could form and that they might therefore be mere artifacts. Researchers who don't understand what they are investigating have no business becoming involved. In this case, however, it appears to be deliberate. They have deliberately ignored an obvious explanation–that Zyklon B was only used for delousing–which would have remedied their lack of comprehension. As a result of this failure to adhere to the principles of science, they produced a report of no scientific value, which they used to arrive at a predetermined conclusion.
Dr. James Roth testified at the 1988 Ernst Zündel trial that he received samples from Fred Leuchter in his capacity as an Analytical Chemist at Alpha Analytical Laboratories. The purpose of the tests was to determine the total iron and cyanide content in the samples. Dr. Roth testified that the Prussian Blue produced by a reaction of the iron and hydrogen cyanide could penetrate deeply in porous materials such as brick and iron.
Cyanide is a surface reaction. It's probably not going to penetrate more than 10 microns. Human hair is 100 microns in diameter. Crush this sample up, I have just diluted that sample 10,000; 100,000 times. If you're going to go looking for it, you're going to look on the surface only. There's no reason to go deep, because it's not going to be there.
The 1999 film about Leuchter features an interview with the chemist [Dr. James Roth] who had done the analysis of his wall-samples back in 1988. He had done this "blind," i.e. with no knowledge of where they had come from, which was correct scientific procedure. During the second Zündel trial in Toronto in 1988 he testified under oath concerning the method used and what Leuchter had sent him. He said back then that hydrogen cyanide can easily penetrate into brick and mortar. But then, when he was interviewed again by Morris for his documentary, he suddenly stated that the results were quite meaningless, because the cyanide could only have soaked a few microns into the brickwork. Wow, that was quite a whopper. Mortar and brickwork are highly porous to hydrogen cyanide, obviously so because the delousing chambers were more or less equally blue inside and out, it had soaked right through. But you can watch him on video explaining this, as if he were confusing brick and mortar with rock. The latter will only absorb cyanide to a few microns of its surface.
It is a fact that the walls of the disinfestation chambers in Auschwitz, Birkenau, Stutthof, and Majdanek are saturated with cyanide compounds, and this not only superficially, but into the depth of the masonry, as I have demonstrated by taking samples from different depths of the wall. Compare in this regard my mortar and plaster Sample Pairs 9 & 11, 12 & 13, 19a & b…, which were each taken at the same spot but at different depths, as well as Sample 17, taken from below the overlying lime plaster (which is thus similar to 19b). These values prove that hydrogen cyanide can rather easily reach deep layers of plaster and mortar. But even the other samples taken from the surface prove that Prof. Roth's allegation is wrong: Provided that most of the cyanide detectable today is present in the form of iron cyanide (Iron Blue and other cyanoferrates), as Prof. Roth assumes himself, his thesis would mean that 10% to 75% of the iron content of these samples are located in the upper 10 micrometers thin layer of the samples (0.010 mm), i.e., they are located in less than 1% of the entire sample mass. The rest of the samples, however, would have been massively deprived of iron. How this migration of a major portion of iron to a thin surface layer would have happened is inexplicable to me. Fact is that this simply could not happen.
In addition, it is generally known that cement and lime mortar are highly porous materials, comparable for instance to sponges. In such materials, there does not exist anything like a defined layer of 0.01 mm beyond which hydrogen cyanide could not diffuse, as there can also be no reason, why water could not penetrate a sponge deeper than a millimeter. Steam, for example, which behaves physically comparable to hydrogen cyanide, can very easily penetrate walls.
Finally, the massive discolorations of the outside of the walls of the disinfestation chambers in Birkenau and Stutthof, as shown in this expert report, are clearly visible and conclusive evidence for the fact of how easily hydrogen cyanide and its soluble derivatives can and do penetrate such walls.
Dr. Green's speculation is absurd. Why would the Germans lean materials that had been soaked with aqueous solutions of HCN against the outside walls of the delousing chambers? Dr. Green is desperate to find an alternative reason for the heavy blue staining on the outside walls of the delousing chambers.
Rudolf has documented with expert literature on the chemistry of building materials that the cement mortars and concretes used in the alleged homicidal gas chambers are noticeably alkaline for many weeks, months, or even years. These walls would have been very much inclined to accumulate cyanide salts and to form Prussian Blue, even more so than the lime plaster of the disinfestation chambers.
The alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz/Birkenau could not have been used to exterminate hundreds of thousands of people as described in pro-Holocaust literature for numerous reasons: 1) they did not have escape-proof doors and windows; 2) they did not have panic-proof equipment; 3) they did not have technically gastight doors and shutters; 4) they had no provision to quickly release and distribute the poison gas; and 5) they had no effective device to ventilate or otherwise render ineffective the poison gas after the execution.
By contrast, Germany built highly sophisticated and expensive disinfestation facilities at Auschwitz/Birkenau to kill lice and save inmate lives. By one estimate, the SS at Auschwitz spent almost $1 billion in today's values to bring the typhus epidemics raging there under control. An enormous amount of information exists concerning these German delousing facilities, but no similar information exists regarding the alleged homicidal gas chambers at Auschwitz/Birkenau.
The roof of the semi-underground Morgue #1 of Crematorium II at Birkenau, which is said to have been the building's homicidal gas chamber, remains intact to some degree today. Contrary to eyewitness testimony, that roof has no Zyklon-B-introduction holes. This has been acknowledged by pro-Holocaust researcher Robert Jan van Pelt. Since it is impossible to close holes measuring 70 x 70 cm from a concrete roof without leaving clearly visible traces, it is certain that no Zyklon-B-introduction holes ever existed at Crematorium II. Consequently, Zyklon B could not have been introduced through the roof at this morgue as alleged by pro-Holocaust supporters.

Richard N. Williamson is an English traditionalist Catholic bishop who has been a figure of controversy among the holocaust establishment. Thought police Deborah Lipstadt calls him a "hard-core" denier. On her 2009 blog, Lipstadt declared that Williamson is "the gift that keeps on giving…I would be happy to never hear of him again." That statement obviously underscores Lipstadt's overarching goals for those who do not subscribe to the holocaust religion.
When Bishop Williamson questioned the prevailing notion that Jews were gassed in Auschwitz, fire-breathing dragon Abraham Foxman got straight to the point: "Bishop Williamson must unequivocally acknowledge the full extent of the Holocaust and recognise the fact of the existence of the gas chambers." Bishop Williamson is going to clear some of those issues for us here.
Address some of those issues for us here. It seems that people can criticize virtually anything, but the moment a person touches Auschwitz in a critical way, he is somehow an anti-Semite. No one, to my knowledge, has ever called you names for saying that the Sound of Music is a "soul-rotting slush." Help us here.
Bishop Williamson: Of course the "Holocaust", or Six Million Jews murdered in German "gas-chambers" as a deliberate policy of extermination of Jews by the Third Reich in the Second World War, is a religion.
Professor Faurisson, professed atheist, has written a whole article to demonstrate how one feature after another of the Catholic religion has its substitute or counterpart in "Holocaustianity". The Jews are constantly fabricating substitute religions for Christianity, either to pull souls away from Jesus Christ, whom they have continuously hated in his Church ever since they crucified himself, or to let out their own unsatisfied need for their own Messiah.
People search around for explanations of what one might call the Jewish phenomenon, or the phenomenon of the Jews. Few people can rightly understand them, because few people still take seriously the divine Messiah, for whom he made them and formed them, yet who rejected him when he came, and who are deeply and divinely frustrated ever since, a frustration that cannot come to an end until they once more recognise him, and join whatever there will still be of the Catholic Church at world's end.
As for the label "anti-semite", as Joseph Sobran said, that does not mean anyone who hates the Jews, but anyone who the Jews hate. My own eyes were opened as to who the Jews are and what they are up to, in theory by the small book of the Argentinian priest, Fr Julio Meinvielle "The Mystery of the Jews in History", in practice by the Zuendel trials in Canada in the late 1980's. Hats off to brave lovers and tellers of truth, without any hatred of the Jews or of anybody else, men like Faurisson and Zuendel, even if they are not Catholics (but then the Catholic Church too has been heavily subverted since the Second Vatican Council). Such men have rendered a huge service to poor modern mankind!

For the third time this year investor's patience was put to the test in October by yet another period of relentless negativity in global stockmarkets. From 7thOctober onwards equity markets were marked downwards day after day with just the occasional pause for breath. Whilst the FTSE100 retained a mythical level of serenity, the mid-cap and smaller companies end of the UK market took another hit and negative contagion spread through all the major world markets.
"The Britain we build after Brexit is going to be a global Britain. Because whilst we are leaving the European Union, we will not leave the continent of Europe. We will not abandon our friends and allies abroad and we will not retreat from the world".
However, as is becoming ever more blatant and ever more tedious, the 'hard Brexit' phrase was created by those with an axe to grind and vested interests to serve (either commercial or political) in newspapers to sell, television schedules to fill and fear, discord or nuisance to stir up. As a result, equity markets around the world were rattled.
Simultaneously, and adding fuel to the prevailing negative tone, the third quarter earnings season also began this month and analysts were quick (much too quick) to predict profit declines based on a very small sample of early results. After just a handful of early reports (from less than 5% of the entire S&P500) had been disappointing Wall Street analysts pressed the panic button and simply extrapolated those early negative releases as a template for the entire earnings season.
As their past performance indicates though, market analysts generally and Wall Street analysts in particular have a near-perfect track record of missing the point. They continually underestimate actual results and are often way off the mark with their forecasts. Despite that, they do influence the short-term direction of stock market valuations.
Towards the end of October that assertion on the efficacy of analysts gained credence and support from a surprising quarter. In a statement on 25thOctober the Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, acknowledged that current market action may be based on 'mistaken' analysis of the state of the economy. Such an admission from one of the leading lights of Project Fear is most welcome and better late than never.
In fairness, corporate management also contributes to the forecasting problem in that it has a tendency to under promise and over deliver and so analyst's estimates are frequently too pessimistic. Companies and the analysts who cover them effectively "conspire" to set the bar too low in order that companies can surpass it with positive earnings surprises and so keep shareholders happy. Equity valuations that have been artificially suppressed then rise again to more realistic levels when actual results turn out to be better than dubious expectations.
In fact, over the past four years actual corporate results have, on average, beaten analysts estimates by 4.3% according to research by FactSet. And so it has proved again this year as the results season has progressed through October. As I write, 61% of the S&P500 results have now been released and, of these, 78% have produced positive upside earnings (profits) surprises. Thus what has been marked down on unjustified low earnings assumptions and self-fulfilling pessimism must come up again on the reality of higher actual results. There is good reason for optimism that these better than expected earnings will now be reflected in a belated but warranted uplift in share valuations.
Lurking in the background and adding to the October gloom has been the US Presidential election, now entering its finishing straight. Markets abhor uncertainty and although in recent weeks the contest seems to have swung towards the Democratic party there is still a very real possibility for the result to reflect the opposing views held by very many disaffected Americans living outside the left-wing 'bien pensant' and media-savvy bubbles of New York and California.
On 31st October the FTSE 100 closed at 6854.22 (a rise of +0.80% for the month and +11.40% for the 2016 year to date). However, the mid-cap and small-cap indexes have not done nearly so well thus far this year. Many of the companies in the Footsie index have a substantial part of their earnings denominated in US dollars or Euros and so have benefited from the depreciation of the pound since the Brexit vote. This is a currency-driven short-term boost simply because the pound is trading on politics not on the economy at the moment. By comparison, the Quotidian Fund's valuation at the same date shows a markdown for the month of October of -10.06% and for the year to date the Fund is now -17.11%.
US capital markets are still considered the most liquid and safest markets on the planet and that is why our portfolio has a major bias towards the American markets. Although the Federal Reserve is likely to raise US interest rates in December (if for no other reason than just to save face) the Fed is not going to tighten nearly as much after that as the market currently seems to think. In our view it could be another six to nine months into 2017 before they move on rates again. The fact of the matter is that the global economy is just not strong enough yet to absorb a normal round of monetary tightening at this stage.
On a lighter note we have been amused by the childish posturing of various politicians in Europe who are trying to give the impression to their own people that negotiations with the UK on Brexit will be tough and uncompromising. Of course, neither Merkel nor Hollande will still be in office when the real negotiations are in full swing next year.
The suggestion by one Eurocrat that negotiations will only be held in French was particularly laughable. I understand that discussions are now taking place to employ Brian Blessed to lead the UK's negotiating team in order that we at least have someone to shout loudly at them in English!
Finally, I am obliged to two professors at the London Business School for research going back as far as 1955. It shows that investing in UK smaller companies over the past 60 years has achieved an annual return of 15.4%. That, of course, is why we also focus a large part of our efforts in the small caps area.
There is a catch, however (and a rather obvious one). Although this performance track record over such a long period is very attractive (and the sector tends to be overlooked by the majority of investors) the 15.4% return did not, of course, come smoothly year after year. In some years' smaller companies powered ahead by 30% or even 40% but in several other individual years between 1955 and the present day they also fell by similar amounts. As we all appreciate, volatility is inherent in equity market investment; it's the overall medium to long result that counts.
Falls of this magnitude so often cause private investors holding UK small caps to make the mistake of giving up in fear, crystallising their 30-50% loss and then never investing in the stockmarket again. This is a much more costly error than enduring periods of volatility.
We invest in good, reliable companies and hold them through these market cycles (often building up our holdings at attractive low prices). We are long on stoicism and strongly believe in the proven benefits of riding out periods of volatility and times when temporarily muted valuations have been based on institutional group-think and over-pessimistic analysis. Patience is particularly relevant in this current period of lacklustre investment returns.

In doing so, consumer protection must be kept at the forefront of any proposals and we argue for private shared ownership providers to be subject to the same duties as housing associations, whether through a strengthened lease or lighter-touch regulation.
We also make a number of proposals for improving the wider shared ownership market. You can read the full response here.

Classic and glamourous Portofinos for her
IWC Schaffhausen Classic and glamourous Portofinos for her
IWC Schaffhausen has unveiled five new smaller models, with an innovative strap change system.
Portofino has been one of IWC's most high-profile families ever since its first launch back in 1984. Created by the former head designer Kurt Klaus and the head designer Hanno Burtscher, this line named after the idyllic Italian village is inspired by the classic rounded designs of the fifties and sixties. Imbued with a spirit of casual glamour, the Portofino watch is dedicated to men and women. Signature elements, like the sleek style and uncluttered dial, remain just as popular with consumers today.
© IWC Schaffhausen
2019's new Portofino watches for women are powered by a self-winding mechanical movement, oscillating at a frequency of 28800 vph and featuring a 42-hour power reserve. With a reduced diameter of 34 millimetres, the five new models are some of the smallest across IWC's entire portfolio and hark back to the very first Portofino collection which had similarly-sized timepieces for slender wrists. Available from August 2019, these new models - water-resistant to 30m - are available in either 18-carat 5N gold or stainless steel cases, with silverplated, blue, or green dials, all of which feature diamonds on the case or dial.
This versatility extends to the inventive strap design, which allows the wearer to customise their watch to their look. A small tool accompanying each product makes it easy to swap between different 12 different strap options - crafted by leather goods maker Santoni - offered in an array of vibrant, hand-coloured shades, in addition to a Milanese stainless steel mesh bracelet.
"With these five new models, we were inspired by the origins of the Portofino family, and wanted to continue the tradition of IWC ladies' watches from the 1980s, offering a very wearable size for women. Another highlight is the new strap changing system [...]," explained Christian Knoop, Creative Director of IWC Schaffhausen.

Jon Hamm trades in adman role for sports agent part
Entertainment // Movies & TV
By Michael Ordoña May 5, 2014 Updated: May 5, 2014 6:02 p.m.
Jon Hamm plays a baseball agent looking for the next great player in Disney's "Million Dollar Arm."
Photo: Disney
"Mad Men" star and St. Louis sports fan Jon Hamm plays real-life sports agent J.B. Bernstein in "Million Dollar Arm," the chronicle of a long-shot contest to find two Indian athletes, utter baseball novices, to turn into major-league prospects under the tutelage of famed pitching coach Tom House. The movie will be in theaters May 16.
Q: Did it cause you physical pain to wear a Dodgers cap in the movie?
A: There was a lot of discussion about that Dodger cap. J.B. is a hometown guy, so I figured I had to bite the bullet.
Q: Do Cards fans take pity on Big Blue lately, or is the hatred still there?
A: The hatred's been more the other way because we've bounced the Dodgers a few times pretty spectacularly - most recently, last season, but in a couple of big series I remember, especially 1985, when Jack Clark hit a home run at Dodger Stadium off Tom Niedenfuer.
But (the rivalry is more with) the Giants now. They bounced us out on the strong performance of one Barry Zito. You guys went on a run like Boston went on a run last year. Couldn't get you out.
Q: You didn't get to meet Tom House, but who have you met who geeked you out?
A: Hank Aaron's oldest son is my best friend. We went down to spring training, and this guy walked up to me; I looked up and it was Hank Aaron. He said, "I hear your name is Hamm. Is your nickname 'The Hammer?'" I said, "… Sometimes." "That's my nickname, too." Whoa. That … just … happened. I was probably 16; my jaw was on the ground.
Q: What are some of your lasting impressions of Mumbai, India?
A: I keep using this phrase, but it applies: "It's a study in extremes." Somehow out of all that chaos comes some kind of order. We were driving back from the set in the van one day and we were behind this Rolls-Royce, gorgeous car, and traffic was being held up because there was a cow in front of them and a cart loaded with electronics.
How is all of this in one line? It's just a complete clash of wealth and poverty and sights and sounds and smells and people; people everywhere.
Q: Is it true that you worked as a set dresser for skin flicks?
A: Yeah. That was like, 1996, 1997. A girl I went to college with … I had no money. She was like, "You can take my job." "I don't know how to do that." "It ain't that hard. You move this here. … Here's my bucket, here's my Polaroid, this is all you need." I said, "I can just show up and they'll be OK with it?" "Yeah." "Why are you quitting?" "It's so depressing; I can't do it anymore." I was like, "OK, perfect, sounds great to me." I did it for about a month and was like, "I'm going to kill myself."
Q: Have you given thought to leaving "Mad Men" behind as you shoot the final seven episodes?
A: Not really. It's mostly about trying to stay in the moment and be as good as I can day to day. Obviously, we all know the end is nigh. But it will be another experience. There have been so many highs and lows on the show … an amazing ride.
But the end of the ride is part of the ride, too. You just hope that it's well received and you're able to put the same energy in that you did on day one, on the last day.


We had a professional development faculty meeting after school today.
Teachers were given the opportunity to choose their own topics for the meeting. Then, with a sense of what everyone wanted to talk about or work on (via face to face conversations or email), the building principal helped teachers locate meeting spaces throughout the building…and away we went!
I spent the hour with a group of teachers discussing data.
It's a lot more interesting than that sounds!
We talked about how to use the data.
We talked about existing data sets as well as how our students can start looking at the information they are constantly discovering on their own, differently.
We talked about visualizing that data and the importance of developing a stronger sense of numeracy. We talked about presenting information with purpose and discussed some tools that our students could use to design information.
Given the "unconference" style of the professional development, there really was no leader. Each of us in the small group contributed to the conversation and a few of us shared some resources. All of us learned something.
One teacher shared how he is using Gapminder — an interactive website for analyzing data about the world's population — according to indicators such as life expectancy, economy, infrastructure, and more.
Here is founder of Gapminder, Hans Rosling, demonstrating the program during his TED Talk from February of 2006.
Another teacher shared how she is using ArcGIS — an online program for making custom maps and layering data and geographic information over images.
We spent a good deal of time looking through a map we found that compared the current minimum wage to the cost of living across the U.S. (a timely topic) and, just as our students will also do when they use the program, we discussed and analyzed the information we learned, we interpreted it and thought of ways we could apply it.
And then I shared a couple of my favorite videos that I've been using as I work with teachers in planning lessons — in all subject areas — that incorporate data visualization and information design and give students the opportunity to create their own designs.
This first one is short and sweet and sums up data visualization nicely. It's a great video for working with both teachers and students. There are often many lightbulbs and "ah-ha" moments about upcoming projects or ways to execute a design after watching this video.
Finally, I shared this video from John Spencer about the LAUNCH cycle. I love using this video (and the LAUNCH cycle vocabulary) for helping students to slow down through the creation process, incorporate more design thinking, and take more pride in their work.
I had a fun time with this group, and I learned a lot. We each have lots of things we want to explore on our own and things we know we will follow up on with each other.
Looks like a pretty happy group, huh?
Many (most) mornings during the work week, I start my day with a quick, energetic educational chat called #BFC530…BreakFast Club that meets at 5:30am. Clever, right? These educators have helped me grow my Professional Learning Network (PLN) and are a great source of information and inspiration!
Each morning, the topic of discussion is something different, and it's always suggested by a member of the #BFC530 community.
Right now, I'm looking to gain a better understanding of how teachers view cell phones in the classroom. Once, having phones in the classroom was something that educators were uniformly VERY much against, largely because it was blatantly against school policy and the cell phones did little more than make calls or send text messages. Now that those school policies — and the capabilities of the phones — are changing…well, I'm not exactly sure where we are. (I wrote this post about it a few months ago.) Some teachers allow phones in the class, and some still don't.
Though I know my own personal preference regarding the use of cell phones in the classroom, I'm certainly not ever one to say that there is a right or wrong answer. I'm really just curious as to why those who allow cell phones do, and those who don't allow them don't.
I want to hear more perspectives on this topic.
There will be many times throughout our educational career when we don't agree with our colleagues or members of our PLN. These differences in opinion are the perfect opportunity to explore the issue with one another, not to form sides of opposition. The more we discuss and debate ideas, the better we will understand them, one another, and ourselves. We will figure it out, together.
Let's talk it out on Friday morning. Do you have a BYOD environment? Are cell phones included in your BYOD? Are there certain restrictions involved when including cell phones as BYOD? At what age or grade level are cell phones appropriate? What tasks are they best used for?
PURPOSE: To help educators connect and keep track of information shared on Twitter.
CONTENT: All education-related topics, including: current teaching trends, how to integrate technology, transform teaching, connecting with inspiring educators worldwide, education policy, and education reform.
#Edchat was founded July 30, 2009 by Shelly Sanchez Terrell (@ShellTerrell), Tom Whitby (@TomWhitby), and Steven Anderson (@Web20classroom).
SPECIFIC DAYS: The chat runs on Tuesdays at Noon and 7pm EST (though you may find that new content is often posted with this hashtag on all days and at any time with content related to education).

Make room for young people and give room to creativity! At Pepa Pla you are immediately in a cosmopolitan atmosphere: a Mexican chef, his second Italian, a Chilean sommelière and an Argentine waitress..
Four young people who improvise accurately on Catalan cuisine, forcibly revisited, with a passion for natural wines. That had everything to please us. This was the case.
A simple little menu that goes to the essential, namely that day as tapas: "Boquerones y anchovas" (8 €), a Japanese pizza okonomiyaki con foie (6.5 €), mushrooms with wasabi (6.5 € ), squid with chimichurri (17.5 €). A menu that offers new dishes every day depending on the market and the harvest of their own garden. Pepa Pla claims his preference for natural wines, that is to say, organic, with little or no sulfite. We congratulate them for this radical choice really in in the spirit of the times.
The place is a former bookstore, the atmosphere is particularly warm and pleasant. A real good time two steps away, but far enough, from the Plaza Catalunya. Do not hesitate.


We love babies and children!
In May 2009, Vicky opened the second branch of IMBS on Ritherdon Road in Tooting Bec. The original design for the second urban spa was to meet the growing demand of our spa & beauty business. In May 2010 Vicky had her son, and within her NCT group and changing needs, quickly realised that a place for mums (and dads with little ones) to go with babies was something that could work well. IMBS Mummy & baby Spa was relaunched in July 2010 with a cafe, baby change, bottle warming and feeding facilities, travel cots, play area and baby safe environment.
It was a huge success, in a beautiful tree lined residential road and busy with parents wanting a little me-time, but without the hassle and cost of childcare. IMBS developed pricing to meet the 'maternity' purse, allowing the spa at Balham to be a little more luxurious and with longer treatments etc.
In the hair salon in Balham, the staff were trained to work around parents with children, needing to feed and meet their needs. Baby changing was also installed, and both sites became a member of the Breastfeeding alliance.
However, over the last year we have worked with clients and staff and tried to find the solution that works for all. We ARE baby & child friendly and strive hard to create this environment where everyone can relax and enjoy their time with us.
Babies & children are welcome into the spa, where we have travel cots in 2 rooms and safety plugs. Alternatively you can take your travel seat downstairs with you. We cannot accommodate buggies downstairs due to the practicalities of stairs and doors etc!

Easter is a time when we celebrate the risen Christ. Many of us may refer to it as Resurrection Sunday. However, your family determines to celebrate and bring in your personal traditions the most important aspect is to remind our hearts of the truth of the Gospel.
It's a time to rejoice in our risen Savior, and many of us take the days leading up to Easter to do that but in reality, it is something we need to be reminded of daily. We remember His death on the cross for our sins, and we thank Him for it. We're reminded that in Christ we receive new life and victory over our sins and the Lord is coming back again for us one day.
I'm sharing some resources to get you thinking how you would like to be intentional in celebrating the risen Christ this Easter season in your home. The resources in bold are my personal favorites. If you're short on time, listen to my podcast from last year on Celebrating a Christ-Centered Easter while you're running errands or doing chores.
Please note – there are many more links in both of posts below from the blog here on celebrating a Christ-focused too.

It really does not seem like four whole weeks have passed since we enjoyed a fantastic night at The Sausage Emporium. Time certainly does fly when you are having fun! I have been dying to take hubby to the The Fat Hippo Underground after a fantastic night with my friend when it first opened (read that review here) and had heard so many good things about dAt bAr that is seemed obvious to combine the two on our next date night. My brother and his girlfriend tagged along too.
dAt bAr is located to the side of the Theatre Royal on Market Street. It is an independent bar specialising in craft beers, great wine and fantastic coffee. They serve pizza and burgers too which is now definitely on our radar for our next lunch date. The atmosphere is informal and not pretentious at all (unlike some of the bars in the area) - a retro comic book-style interior, a 'wall of death' bar, an eclectic soundtrack (which we loved) and a wide mix of customers make this bar a lovely relaxed place to meet with friends.
The men were very impressed with the huge variety of beers on offer - ranging from old favourites to something more unique. The barman was happy to give recommendations and offer sample tasters. We tried 7 different beers between us and a definite favourite was one of the smoked beers which actually tasted like a BBQ in a glass. None of us had ever tried or even heard of a smoked beer so it was great to try something new.
One of the things that really sets dAt bAr apart from the crowd is it's fantastic staff. I have never come across such a knowledgeable bartender (maybe he was the owner?). He was clearly passionate about his job, taking the time to make sure we chose the right drinks and even made me a personal off-menu cocktail after I asked for a recommendation which was perfect. It makes such a change to be served by an expert who wants to go the extra mile for you.
We got chatting to a bloke sitting at the bar who told us he had only found this bar by chance today and the discovery had made it the best day of his life. Kind of sums up the evening and we could have stayed longer. Next time we will definitely stay for food too.
We had other places to go tonight though so stumbled walked wound the corner to The Fat Hippo Underground. Blink and you'll miss the doorway - look out for the neon hippo sign above the door on Shakespeare street (around the other side of the Theatre Royal).
The Fat Hippo is another one of those laid back relaxed-style restaurants we love. They focus on one thing (burgers) and do it well which is a business plan more places really need to try! The interior is rustic and stripped back - think wooden benches, exposed brick work and naked light bulbs.
I love the menu and variety of burgers to choose from. A peanut butter and jelly burger and a burger with candied bacon certainly stood out as unique. We ordered wasabi popcorn (which is amazing) and cajun pork scratchings to share and then a variety of burgers. Be warned, the burgers are HUGE so make sure you visit on an empty stomach. I couldn't finish mine.
We spent £15 per head which was very good value considering it included a bar snack starter, huge burger and hand cut chips and a round of drinks (including a delicious alcoholic butterbeer milkshake). We had no complaints.
At the end of the evening we ended up at Lady Grey's at the opposite end of Shakespeare street. I do like the concept here - it is a lovely traditional style pub. However, perhaps we had been spoilt throughout the evening as we did have a few niggles here - bar staff not knowing how to make an amaretto sour and an £11 bill for a Jack Daniel's and a bottle of beer left us thinking it perhaps wasn't the place for us. It did seem busy though so they must be doing something right.
We all really enjoyed our monthly get together and are already planning where to go next time. If you've been anywhere lately that you think we would enjoy, I would love to hear your recommendations.

Amazon.com, Inc., doing business as Amazon (/ˈæməˌzɒn/), is an American electronic commerce and cloud computing company based in Seattle, Washington, that was founded by Jeff Bezos on July 5, 1994. The tech giant is the largest Internet retailer in the world as measured by revenue and market capitalization, and second largest after Alibaba Group in terms of total sales.[5] The Amazon.com website started as an online bookstore and later diversified to sell video downloads/streaming, MP3 downloads/streaming, audiobook downloads/streaming, software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry. The company also owns a publishing arm, Amazon Publishing, a film and television studio, Amazon Studios, produces consumer electronics lines including Kindle e-readers, Fire tablets, Fire TV, and Echo devices, and is the world's largest provider of cloud infrastructure services (IaaS and PaaS) through its AWS subsidiary.[6] Amazon also sells certain low-end products under its in-house brand AmazonBasics.
Go digital. Even though you're not shopping online, embracing technology can help you save. "Sign up for email alerts from your favorite retailers and follow them on Facebook and Instagram for exclusive offers," says Freeman. Last year, for example, Walmart promoted hourly manager specials to their Facebook fans, points out Andrea Woroch, a consumer and money saving expert.
AWS started way back in 2000 as a way to help other retailers manage e-commerce operations, but it soon expanded into much more when key project members managed to convince Bezos that improving and evolving Amazon's own infrastructure may hold the key to a new business model. In 2006, the product as we know it today launched into public availability and proved to be a pioneer for the entire cloud computing industry, offering cloud storage, hosting, and a suite of other tools for managing entire digital infrastructures in remote data centers. The division now pulls in roughly $6 billion every quarter and continues to grow at breakneck pace. It earned $17.5 billion in revenue in all of 2017 and regularly outperforms the company's entire North American retail division in terms of profit.
*Ad dates and offers vary by market. mPerks offers good with mPerks digital coupon(s). See coupon(s) for terms. Buy one, get one (BOGO) promotional items must be of equal or lesser value. Special pricing and offers are good only while supplies last. No rainchecks or substitutions unless otherwise stated. Buy/save offers must be purchased in a single transaction; no cash back. Other conditions and/or exclusions may apply. Meijer.com reserves the right to limit quantities (including after you've submitted your order).
While Amazon was expanding into streaming video, hardware, and cloud computing, it simultaneously maintained an aggressive push into even faster shipping and all new retail formats. The company started its same-day shipping initiative, Prime Now, in New York City in 2014, and it's since expanded it to dozens of cities around the world. Around the same time, Amazon began a program called AmazonFresh to stock and ship groceries — including vegetables and refrigerated and freezer products — that it used as a way to stay competitive with traditional big-box retailers like Walmart and Target and Uber-like logistics newcomers like Instacart. The company now sells its own line of meal kits through Fresh to rival ready-to-cook options from companies like Blue Apron and Plated.
Amazon hasn't been content stopping with smart speakers and just standard old appliances under its AmazonBasics brand. In its quest to put Alexa everywhere, the company now sells a dizzying number of smart home devices that go well beyond its core speaker and set-top box beginnings. First there was the Echo Dot, to help bring Alexa to analog speaker systems and get the voice assistant into more rooms of the home. Then there was the Echo Look, for AI-assisted outfit recommendations, and the Echo Show, which contained a display and camera for video chatting and was designed to be a hands-free screen for the kitchen.

Foregoing private stores or other online alternatives, a large number of individuals and businesses prefer to sell through Amazon.com. With more than 95 million unique visitors each month, Amazon can be an ideal place for vendors looking to increase sales or simply unload items they no longer want or need. And because Amazon enjoys a generally positive reputation with its customers, the site can be a great place for sellers to build brand recognition for their businesses.
But Amazon has been testing its drones for years and performed the first public demo delivery in the US last year. Meanwhile, it continues to submit outlandish patents about its vision for the future of drone delivery, including one for a self-destructing drone that disassembles itself in an emergency and a delivery drone mothership of sorts that would act as a city's central hub for package-carrying UAVs.
Amazon allows users to submit reviews to the web page of each product. Reviewers must rate the product on a rating scale from one to five stars. Amazon provides a badging option for reviewers which indicate the real name of the reviewer (based on confirmation of a credit card account) or which indicate that the reviewer is one of the top reviewers by popularity. Customers may comment or vote on the reviews, indicating whether they found a review helpful to them. If a review is given enough "helpful" hits, it appears on the front page of the product. In 2010, Amazon was reported as being the largest single source of Internet consumer reviews.[123]
Use apps to check prices in real-time. "The app ShopSavvy is really useful when you're out shopping in stores because you can scan the barcode on items and see if there is a better deal elsewhere," says Palmer of Nerdwallet. Woroch is also a fan of ShopSavvy, as well as Flipp, which provides circulars all in one place so you can quickly compare to plan your shopping trip strategically.

The company was founded as a result of what Jeff Bezos called his "regret minimization framework," which described his efforts to fend off any regrets for not participating sooner in the Internet business boom during that time.[19] In 1994, Bezos left his employment as vice-president of D. E. Shaw & Co., a Wall Street firm, and moved to Seattle, Washington, where he began to work on a business plan[20] for what would become Amazon.com.
On May 5, 2014, Amazon unveiled a partnership with Twitter. Twitter users can link their accounts to an Amazon account and automatically add items to their shopping carts by responding to any tweet with an Amazon product link bearing the hashtag #AmazonCart. This allows customers to never leave their Twitter feed and the product is waiting for them when they go to the Amazon website.[146]
The difference is that Amazon has data to prove what's popular and easy to sell, and free shipping to get people to buy it online instead of in the store. (That's gotten the attention of the European Commission, which is looking into whether Amazon is harming competition by using data from its sellers to develop its own products.) You can now buy Amazon-produced electric kettles, toasters, office chairs, knife sets, neoprene dumbbells, comforters, suitcases — name a product you'd find in a Walmart, and it's probably already made and sold under the AmazonBasics name. Earlier this month, the company started selling its own mattress, striking fear in the direct-to-consumer mattress startup market dominated by Casper and Tuft & Needle.
Bezos selected the name Amazon by looking through the dictionary; he settled on "Amazon" because it was a place that was "exotic and different", just as he had envisioned for his Internet enterprise. The Amazon River, he noted, was the biggest river in the world, and he planned to make his store the biggest bookstore in the world.[25] Additionally, a name that began with "A" was preferential due to the probability it would occur at the top of an alphabetized list.[25] Bezos placed a premium on his head start in building a brand and told a reporter, "There's nothing about our model that can't be copied over time. But you know, McDonald's got copied. And it's still built a huge, multibillion-dollar company. A lot of it comes down to the brand name. Brand names are more important online than they are in the physical world."[26]
Install a browser extension. Tools like Honey hang out quietly while you shop, combing the web for the lowest price on whatever you're buying. "One tool that saves Honey members time and money is Droplist," says Honey's Parisi. "Droplist watches selected items, notifying shoppers when the price of an item drops below the amount initially chosen. Droplist monitors the price of the item for 30, 60, or 90 days and will automatically send an email when the price drops to the amount that was set."
On October 16, 2016, Apple filed a trademark infringement case against Mobile Star LLC for selling counterfeit Apple products to Amazon. In the suit, Apple provided evidence that Amazon was selling these counterfeit Apple products and advertising them as genuine. Through purchasing, Apple was able to identify that nearly 90% of the Apple accessories sold and fulfilled by Amazon were counterfeit. Amazon was sourcing and selling items without properly determining if they are genuine. Mobile Star LLC settled with Apple for an undisclosed amount on April 27, 2017.[164]
After reading a report about the future of the Internet that projected annual web commerce growth at 2,300%, Bezos created a list of 20 products that could be marketed online. He narrowed the list to what he felt were the five most promising products, which included: compact discs, computer hardware, computer software, videos, and books. Bezos finally decided that his new business would sell books online, due to the large worldwide demand for literature, the low price points for books, along with the huge number of titles available in print.[27] Amazon was founded in the garage of Bezos' rented home in Bellevue, Washington.[25][28][29] Bezos' parents invested almost $250,000 in the start-up.[30]
Barnes & Noble sued Amazon on May 12, 1997, alleging that Amazon's claim to be "the world's largest bookstore" was false because it "...isn't a bookstore at all. It's a book broker." The suit was later settled out of court and Amazon continued to make the same claim.[36] Walmart sued Amazon on October 16, 1998, alleging that Amazon had stolen Walmart's trade secrets by hiring former Walmart executives. Although this suit was also settled out of court, it caused Amazon to implement internal restrictions and the reassignment of the former Walmart executives.[36]
You already know you can save big on Amazon Prime Day 2018, but with these Amazon shopping hacks you can save even more. When you shop through RetailMeNot, you get $10 cash back on orders of $100 (or more) on Amazon. Another excellent way to save every day, not just Prime Day? Download the Honey app, which automatically searches and applies discount codes at check out and gives you points every time you shop online (once you accrue a certain number of points you can cash them in for a gift card).
In March 2015, it was reported in The Verge that Amazon will be removing non-compete clauses of 18 months in length from its US employment contracts for hourly-paid workers, after criticism that it was acting unreasonably in preventing such employees from finding other work. Even short-term temporary workers have to sign contracts that prohibit them from working at any company where they would "directly or indirectly" support any good or service that competes with those they helped support at Amazon, for 18 months after leaving Amazon, even if they are fired or made redundant.[190][191]
Perhaps the most prominent Prime perk, however, is access to Amazon Prime Video. The video on-demand service started in 2006 as Amazon Unboxed, but was rebranded in 2008 and integrated into the Prime service three years later, where it became a huge selling point for Amazon's annual subscription. It now boasts thousands of free TV shows, films, and games, all accessible on pretty much every screen available.
The Echo line and its Alexa assistant are Amazon's avenues into our physical lives and our digital behaviors. With the data it collects, Amazon is able to better understand how we shop and how we want the devices of the future to listen, respond, and problem solve as if they were other human beings. Amazon has stiff competition in this space, primarily from Apple and Google, but its early investments in smart speakers and AI have helped Amazon overcome its absence in the key consumer markets like mobile, search, and social networks. As a result, Amazon has made early and tangible inroads in developing an ecosystem that customers will find increasingly hard to abandon down the line.
Though more people shopped in-store and online on Black Friday 2017, Cyber Monday continues to beat Black Friday's online sales. Last year, 81 million consumers shopped on Cyber Monday, bringing in $6.59 billion for retailers. 2017 marked a year-over-year increase of nearly 17 percent and set an all-time record of the most ever spent on the digital holiday.
That same year, the company launched Dash buttons for instant reordering of products like laundry detergent, and it's more recently been investing in new services that let package-carrying couriers unlock the truck of your car and even your front door. Most recently, Amazon has signaled an intention to disrupt health care by purchasing online pharmaceutical startup PillPack. All of this has helped Amazon grow its North American retail operation at an unbelievable pace; annual sales for the division more than doubled from $50.8 billion in 2014 to $106.1 billion last year.
The domain amazon.com attracted at least 615 million visitors annually by 2008.[119] Amazon attracts over 130 million customers to its US website per month by the start of 2016.[120] The company has also invested heavily on a massive amount of server capacity for its website, especially to handle the excessive traffic during the December Christmas holiday season.[121]
Raw Generation is a raw juice company that launched its ecommerce store through Shopify, only to experience little success in its first 6 months. But you know what they say, where there's a will there's a way, and owner, Jessica Geier, was determined to find it. Raw Generation used deal sites to take the company's monthly revenues from $8,000 to $96,000!


Boyz in the Hood is a 1991 American teen hood film written and directed by John Singleton, depicting life in South Central Los Angeles, California. It tells the story about three young African-American boys who grew up in a lower class neighborhood in South Central Los Angeles, where "one out of every twenty-one Black American males are murdered in their lifetime" and "most die by the hands of another Black male." This statement says that an individual, especially in the African-American community, is more vulnerable to become a victim of gang affiliation or violence, and is most likely to make such bad decisions because of the circumstances they face and the neighborhood they grew up in. They are inevitably groomed to become gang members. Tre is sent to live with his father, Furious Styles, in tough South Central Los Angeles. Although both his father and girlfriend try to instills faith, proper values and respect in him, it all seems to fall on deaf ears. Tre 's friends Doughboy and Ricky don 't have the same kind of support and even with the evidence of increased tragic results, are still drawn into the neighborhood 's booming drug and gang business.

The G4's 3.85 V lithium-ion battery is rated for a minimum of 11.2 Wh. While LG's marketing department doesn't make any specific claims about battery life, they've made sure to let us know that the 3,000 mAh battery lasts and lasts.
The Galaxy S6 ranks close behind at 3.85 V, 9.82 Wh.
The iPhone 6 features a 3.82 V battery with an energy rating of 6.91 Wh.
Despite the impressive specs, we think the most exciting feature of this battery is the fact that it's easily removable.
Recently, we've seen an unsettling trend of flagship phones with difficult-to-remove batteries. Even Samsung buckled with their newest flagship series.
It's refreshing to see that LG seems to be one of the few holdouts in the corporate war against user-replaceable batteries...since, you know, batteries eventually die.
