The Globalization Myth
by Alan Shipman
236 pages,
Faster, Must Go Faster
If I were to give an award for the breeziest book on globalization, it would go to either Thomas Friedman's faddish, The Lexus and the Olive Tree, or Alan Shipman's new offering: The Globalization Myth. The lingo in the latter is happening, the jokes are targeted at the pretentious and it almost manages to make a subject that defies readability entertaining. Some, however, may mistake this breeziness for a lack of insight or imagination, which would be a miscalculation. Shipman is the author of two serious books on economics (The Market Revolution and Its Limits and Transcending Transaction) whose "good times" persona masks a much more subtle thinker.
The "myth" in the title is meant to refer to a set of misunderstandings about what globalization is and what its effects are, but it also takes on a double meaning. The chapter-length introduction begins, "Life on earth was global from the outset, as one fragile planet huddled for comfort against a cold and empty space." Localization, Shipman explains, "came later, after manners began to fragment over space, and memories over time." Readers of a religious background probably just heard echoes of the opening of the book of Genesis and the story of the Tower of Babel, and their ears were not playing tricks on them. Creation myths are marvelous tools for imagining how the world should work, pinpointing the precise point at which everything went arse-over-teakettle and charting a course back to our designer Eden.
In order to specify just where the world went wrong, Shipman has to put down several stereotypes�myths�that have been reinforced through repetition by the critics of globalization. The largest misconception is what we might call the Myth of the Unchecked Rapacious Corporation. It's a rather complex myth, which holds a) that corporations are corrupting the political process by showering it with cash; b) that cheap overseas labour has created a "race to the bottom," where Multi-National Corporations (MNCs) play one government against the next to keep wages and taxes low, as well as to exact other special perks; and c) that bought politicians are either too corrupt or powerless to do anything about it.
Not so, argues The Globalization Myth. Globalization is "a political creation" through and through. And: "Far from inflicting their expanded presence on an unsuspecting world, big businesses grew to fit a role in which others had cast them." The decisions of governments over the last 30 years to relax trade barriers were, he argues, not about caving into corporations but disciplining companies that had grown too big within their own domestic markets for the good of the frustrated consumers.
Because of the fragmentation of the world into a hundred some odd countries, large companies were able to dominate local markets and manhandle customers, and they were too well entrenched or too politically connected for other locals to be able to compete. Enough of this monopolism could create sluggishness of whole national economies and significantly drag down the collective standard of living. By negotiating agreements which mutually lowered trade barriers, governments were able to sell enough locals on the idea, or at least to mute the criticisms. However, the implicit goal of trade liberalization was to force the dominant local big fish into a much larger pond.
Thus was the project launched that has come to be known as globalization. The Globalization Myth admits that it didn't exactly work as planned. Big fish are big fish regardless of the pond. In order to survive, they became more efficient and also more ruthless. The idea of lifetime employment�a real possibility in my grandfather's generation and even in my father's�has largely ceased to be a real option for young workers. Investment capital now sloshes about the world this way and that, helping to build developing countries up, but then plunging them into currency crises and recession just as quickly. And the lowering of tariffs has not been kind to heavy North American industries.
While a frozen frame snapshot of the world isn't necessarily pleasant to look at right now, Shipman says the solution is more globalization, not less. He argues, rather ingeniously, that to give into the protests of anti-globalizers would be to freeze that ugly portrait in place. The goal of reformers should be to "think globally, transact locally," by moving government power where it can be most effective in setting universal standards. The G8, the World Trade Organization, the World Bank: All of these world bodies are objects of scorn and derision, but they could, conversely, help to usher in a less fragmented world.

I need the inital position and final position of each item in list and by doing this to split the inputfile.
my expected output is:

36ലക്ഷ്മണന് 36 to 50

I dont want to search  2സീതയെ,7പൂവ്,16കോട്ടയത്ത്,22പരീക്ഷ. Because the integer is less than 25. Then search for 28രാമന് and so on.
My code is

fr = codecs.open('outputfile5.txt', encoding='utf-8')
lines = fr.readlines()
t=0

for item in search:

    for i in range(0+t,len(lines)):

            final=int(b)
            break
    print "Start",initial
    print "Final",final

fr.close()

Error occured and stucked. The error is
s = re.match('([0-9]+)', y).group(1)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'group'

A: Most probably re.match('([0-9]+)', y) did not yield any result so there is no group(1) to get. You seem to need re.search (matching part of y) rather than re.match (matching exactly y) for your purpose.
In any case, you could test the matching result before accessing the group.
temp = re.match('([0-9]+)', y)
if temp:
    s=temp.group(1)

Why does Heroes show inconsistent versions of the same scene
I've noticed on Heroes that when they start off from a scene they showed on the previous episode that the scene is slightly different, like it's another shooting of the same scene, or maybe just a different cut.
For example, towards the end of season 1 episode 4, when Hiro appears to Peter on the train, Peter says: "How's this happening?" and Hiro responds with: "Sorry if I scared you; you look different without the scar", but when the same scene is shown at beginning of the next episode (season 1 episode 5), Peter says: "What?! Are you doing this?" and Hiro just responds with: "You look different without the scar". Why is that?

Could you give some examples maybe? – Napoleon Wilson♦ Jan 17 '16 at 22:19
I added an example. – dramzy Jan 17 '16 at 23:01
Heroes had different writers and directors 'guesting' on each episode. Episode 4 was written by Tim Kring and Bryan Fuller and directed by Ernest Dickerson, whereas Episode 5 was written by Kring and Micheal Green and directed by Paul Shapiro.
Shapiro reshot his version of the scene in your example where future Hiro meets Peter for episode 5, as producer Greg Beeman mentions the shooting of this scene in his blog for the episode - he also mentions the addition of guest directors from episode 4 onwards, and how they have a lot of control over thier idividual episodes.
I wouldn't be surprised if it followed that each writer/director got to reshoot their own version of those closing/opening scenes for each episode.

Much of the series is about Alternate Realities: bad outcomes in one reality are 'prevented' by one of the characters travelling to an earlier point in 'The Timeline' -several characters have Time Travel abilities- and taking steps to stop the 'bad future' happening; the second version of 'the future' shown is one where the protagonists have a better outcome.

It seems almost a certainty that Alexis Sanchez is going to leave Arsenal this summer and Chelsea are one of the clubs in the hunt.
While many think the Gunners would be mad to sell the Chilean to their London neighbours, the bookies now have the Blues as the favourites to sign him.
Betfair have Chelsea ahead of Juventus and PSG to grab the 28-year-old from the Emirates, which would stun many Premier League rivals.
Naomi Totten, spokesperson at Betfair, said: "Sanchez will be out of contract in 2018 and after hinting that he wanted to stay in London while speaking to media on international duty, Chelsea have been backed in from 12/1 to 9/4 favourites to sign the Chilean striker.
"Juventus were the previous favourites to sign Sanchez and are still 4/1 second favourites."

Judge: 'Under God' can remain in Pledge of Allegiance
Kathleen Hopkins
Asbury Park (N.J.) Press
FREEHOLD, N.J. — A New Jersey judge has thrown out a lawsuit against a school district seeking to remove the words "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance recited daily by students.
State Superior Court Judge David F. Bauman in Monmouth County ruled that recitation of those words in the pledge in Matawan-Aberdeen schools does not violate rights guaranteed to individuals under the New Jersey Constitution.
Bauman's written opinion, made public Friday, dismissed a lawsuit filed last year by the American Humanist Association, an organization that works to protect the rights of atheists and other non-religious groups.
In his decision, Bauman noted that the nation was founded on a belief in God. He cited historical references to the nation's founding fathers, including George Washington and Benjamin Franklin, and the writers of New Jersey's constitution exhibiting faith in and reliance upon God.
"The words 'under God' are now as interwoven through the fabric of the Pledge of Allegiance as the threads of red, white and blue into the fabric of the flag to which the Pledge is recited," Bauman wrote.
Bauman said the Pledge of Allegiance, in its historical context, has never been viewed as a religious exercise, but as a vehicle to transmit "those core values of duty, honor, pride and fidelity to country on which the social contract between the United States and its citizens is ultimately based."
David Rubin, the school district's attorney, said he is pleased with the judge's decision, but expects the American Humanist Association will appeal it.
"We anticipate there may be an appeal but are confident that Judge Bauman's decision will be upheld," Rubin said.
The American Humanist Association said in a news release that its leaders are disappointed in Bauman's decision, but it did not say whether an appeal was planned.
"The daily pledge recitation is a core part of how we define patriotism for children on a daily basis, so the exercise is discriminatory if it associates patriotism with God-belief and suggests that atheists and humanists are second-class citizens," the association's attorney, David Niose, said in the news release.
Bauman noted that New Jersey law allows any child to abstain from reciting it for any reason, whether religious, political, moral or any other principle.
He added that there is no evidence to suggest that the unidentified child on whose behalf the lawsuit was filed has ever been required to provide an explanation for not participating in the pledge.
The American Humanist Association filed the lawsuit against the school district last year on behalf of an unnamed family with a child in the school system. The lawsuit claimed that the practice of acknowledging God in the Pledge of Allegiance discriminated against atheists, in violation of New Jersey's constitution.

Josh Pearson To Open For My Bloody Valentine
Jesse Hughey
Jesse Hughey | April 20, 2009 | 12:30pm
Austin Music Hall's web site listed former Denton outfit Lift To Experience on the bill as an opening act for My Bloody Valentine tomorrow night, but the set will actually feature frontman Josh T. Pearson's solo project, says a source close to the musician.
Though the Palladium Ballroom web site doesn't have any opening acts listed for Wednesday's MBV show, Pearson, or "Creepy Guy No. 1" in Doug Burr's "Should've Known" video, will open the Dallas show as well.
The confusion may have stemmed from Pearson's choice of drummers: Lift To Experience's Andy Young. Lift bassist Josh "Bear" Browning won't be joining them for a full reunion, though; rather, The Paper Chase's Bobby Weaver will round out the trio.
The Austin Music Hall listing has since been changed to reflect as much. So it looks like Texas audiences will have to be content with just one reunion return from a long period of inactivity this week.

Between 1745 and 1830. MT laid the foundation stone.
I am delighted to be given this opportunity to lay the foundation stone for the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan's Institute for Master of Management Studies. As I am sure you know, this is not my first contact with the Bhavan. I have happy memories of visiting your thriving Centre in London in November 1978. I was impressed then by the strength of your movement and the depth of your faith in your cause and your confidence in your future. My visit here reinforces this impression. With its growing number of Centres around the world, the Bhavan does excellent work for international understanding and brings deserved credit to India and its people. Long may it thrive.
The decision to introduce a postgraduate course in management studies is, in my view, an excellent and far-sighted one. No institution, however large or small, can hope to succeed without capable management. In a highly specialised world, managerial skills require specialised training.
So much is obvious, but I would go beyond that and say that good management is possibly even more crucial for a developing than a developed country. Where resources are scarce, it is particularly important to put them to the best possible use. Where there are many [end p1] calls for capital for development it is particularly necessary to get the best possible return on the investment made. Low returns or the absence of profit means that society foregoes capital investment which it might have had. In practice this tends to hit the poorer people harder than those who are better off.
In a great country like India there is no shortage of potential managerial talent. But it needs to be brought to the fore, trained, mobilised and applied in the right places. Not to do this would be a waste. The Bhavan, I know, is against waste. I applaud your initiative here.
I am glad to say that in recent years Britain has also been making a contribution to India's own programme of management training. Links between our Administrative Staff College at Henley and your Administrative Staff College at Hyderabad go back to the founding of the latter. Managers from a variety of enterprises have gone to Britain for training under our Technical Cooperation Training Programme. We maintain close connections with organisations like the All India Management Association, from time to time taking part in their national seminars and workshops. We are also working with Indian Railways on the development of their management cadre.
I am glad therefore to see the Bhavan giving recognition to the need for specialised management training, and I feel confident that the achievements of the Bhavan in all its fields of endeavour will be repeated in this Institute of Management. I wish you all success.


Man Mountain. A very apt description of the nocturnal monster that roams, or used to roam the town of Calbiga and its environs.
My mother was a native of the idyllic town of Calbiga in the province of Samar in the Philippines. I stayed there when I was about 3 or 4 years old. The town is nestled in a fertile valley beside the mighty Calbiga River. The place is quiet except for the sound of an occasional vehicle and the residents are mostly devoted Roman Catholics. The elders are respected and are the source of wisdom by the rest of the population. It is also from the old people that you hear of stories of the supernatural which actually happened in town.
One of the most pervasive supernatural Calbiga folklore involved the reported Man Mountain, kapre or agta in the Visayan vernacular. It is characterized to be a tree demon, but with more human characteristics. It is described as being a tall (7 to 9 ft), brown, hairy male with a beard. Kapres are normally described as smoking a large tobacco pipe, whose strong smell would attract human attention. Kapres are said to dwell in big trees like acacias, mangoes, bamboo and banyan (known in the Philippines as balete). A kapre is said to often wear a belt which gives it the ability to be invisible to humans if it wants. Further, a kapre is supposed to hold a magical white stone, a little smaller in size from that of a quail egg, which if obtained by a human, the kapre could be obliged to grant wishes. Kapres are not necessarily considered to be evil. They may make contact with humans to offer friendship. Kapres have been also said to play pranks on people, frequently making travelers become disoriented and lose their way in the mountains or in the woods. It is also believed to have the ability to confuse people even at their own familiar surroundings; for instance, someone who forgets that they are in their own garden or home are said to be have been tricked by a kapre. Reports of experiencing kapre enchantment include that of witnessing rustling tree branches even if the wind is not strong; hearing loud laughter or voice coming from an unseen being; witnessing lots of smoke from the top of a tree; seeing big fiery eyes during night time from a tree; as well as actually seeing a kapre walking by in forested areas. At night, an unfortunate traveler might happen to pass by one of these trees and notice a shower of sparks from the kapre's lit cigar.
The most popular story about the Calbiga kapre involved a female public school teacher. She was working on her lesson plans at her house one evening. Calbiga houses of old were then made mostly of wooden planks for walls and doors and thatch roofs. At around midnight, the poor teacher felt the ground shake. She surmised it couldn't be an earthquake because the shaking was rhythmic. Curious but afraid to open her doors and windows, the teacher peeked through a gap in the wooden plank wall.
She felt ice-cold chills on her spine when she peeked just in time to see a tall, massive, dark figure pass by her house. The figure was faintly illuminated by the full moon and it had enormous hairy thighs as large as coconut tree trunks. Thick dark hair covered its entire body. It was the kapre on its favorite nocturnal haunt.
There have been no reported incident of a kapre ever mangling a human being. In fact, like the sasquatch of North America, it prefers more not being disturbed. Rather, a kapre likes to scare people rather than harm them. Encounters between the kapre and humans have mostly been caused by the latter straying into the kapre's territory or path. In the Eighties, stories of sightings of the kapre have subsided. Presumably, because of the advance of human habitation, it has retreated deep into the lush rain forests of the province of Samar. Still, when parents in the Philippines admonish their children to be good, they invoke the name of the Man Mountain.

Some 7,000 visitors from China are expected to attend a conference at the Anaheim Convention Center in May.
The centerpiece of the event is a seminar for Perfect (China) Co. Ltd., which is a marketer of health food, household, beauty and skincare products.
Specific dates for the event have not been announced.
The Orange County Visitors Association and Anaheim/Orange County Visitor & Convention Bureau, along with other local organizations, are working in conjunction with China International Travel Service, a meetings and convention organizer based in China.
The future trip to Anaheim comes about a year after countywide efforts ramped up to market Orange County to Chinese tourists and meeting groups with the OCVA opening two sales offices there last year.

This is what it was like to go clubbing in Plymouth in the 1990s
Plymouth was THE place for clubbers to visit in the South West
Sarah ElmesSenior Editor (Customer)

In a world of camera phones and technology, everything we experience now ends up being seen over and over again by bewitched viewers across the globe.
But decades ago, as Plymouth's iconic rave seen was just kicking off, only one man had his finger on the record button – Little Kev.
In the early '90s, Kevin 'Little Kev' Grayling developed an "obsession" of filming Plymouth's famed raves on a video camera.
But until 2015 the vintage Video8 and VHS tapes stayed a secret, stashed away in a box behind his sofa.
When they were discovered, city artist Carl Slater made it his mission to edit each and every one and create an archive of footage to preserve a unique piece of Plymouth's history.
At that time, mainstream raves were a place for dissenting working-class revolting against Thatcher's Britain.
How one of Plymouth's most famous pubs is going to save Union Street
With a backdrop of unemployment and social unrest, young people across the country created an underground movement against the establishment.
Many British politicians responded with hostility; promoters were fined and raves were shut down.
What a time to be alive (Image: Kevin 'Little Kev' Grayling)
"It will never be the same again," Kev told The Herald at the time. "The atmosphere we used to feel from these places where there would be 2,500 people just partying to one DJ, with fantastic visuals, light shows and incredible sound quality – it was just amazing.
13 lost nightclubs Plymouth still really misses
"It was genuinely real. At a later stage raves became more professional and it went from being quite underground to being the in-thing to go to.
"But prior to that people went to a rave to listen to one DJ and to dance to one track. Nobody was bothering anyone."
In 2015, Kev was approached by Carl after he heard about the collection of tapes and wanted to use them for an exhibition at Plymouth Arts Centre.

Carl quickly realised how precious Little Kev's collection was, and knew the time was right to let them be seen – a quarter of a century after they were filmed.
"I think what this guy has done has been pretty understated," said Carl, whose rave culture exhibition featured a vat of Vapour Rub, which ravers would rub on their noses to enhance the effects of ecstasy. "Only now it's started becoming prevalent in people's minds.
"It's been a quarter of a century, so it's almost like it's history now."

Kev, who joined the RAF at 17 and went on to be a firefighter, said his addiction of filming Plymouth's raves came from the reaction of the crowds, meeting famous DJs and groups, and watching people dance in a specially-created environment which he himself had set up.

"People were leaving the party with good, good memories," he said. "It was just a mad part of my life.
"The atmosphere was far bigger and better than anyone will ever experience again. We used to say Plymouth was the best kept secret in the whole of England."
Kev, who now works in construction, said he first borrowed his dad's camera and took it to a rave to show him what the lasers were like.
"Then it just carried on from there," he explained, "and it became an obsession.

"I was watching everything in black and white through one eye and colour in the other. I blended in with the crowd; as far as I was concerned no one could see me and I didn't have the camera."
Kev eventually bought himself a Panasonic SVHS recorder at a cost of about £1,200 - "an investment".
Kev said: "Sometimes my friend used to hold my camera for me if I'd been holding it for a long time as they were heavy.
"Mike Smale was my partner in crime for quite a few years – it was a blessing; he was my DJ partner, my rave partner and my rigging partner. He was everything.
"I would build up a story of the whole night. When I first saw the footage [after 25 years] my first reaction was 'Woah'.
"I came down to see Carl with my boxes, he got a camera that worked it, whipped it up and played it and it was like 'S***, this is what it was like'.
"I feel very privileged to have been part of it, and quite emotional to tell you the truth because it was a very, very good part of my life. I got to meet so, so many people and I never ever got any hassle from anyone, nothing at all."
Official age you're too old to go clubbing revealed, and it's younger than you think
Carl laboriously edited Kev's footage, but at the time the pair were unsure exactly what to do with it.
"I'm just passionate about what Kev has," said Carl in 2015, "and it needs to sit somewhere, but I don't know where that somewhere is. In 100 years time when we've both died, this archive is still alive.
The emotional 'last journey' for Plymouth war hero Rick Jolly
"Quite naively I asked Kev, 'So when you put your tapes in would you set the camera up and change all the settings?' and he said 'Nah bey, it's a point and shoot job' – and that's great.
"The tapes are a good hour-and-a-half each and some of it is a bit jolty. Editing is a long process because when you digitise stuff, you put it through the camera and then through the laptop, but the cut-out point is where there's a bit of dirt or dust – the computer says no and then I've got to stop it, fast forward it a bit and then record again."
The lightshows were just incredible (Image: Kevin 'Little Kev' Grayling)
Carl and Kev set up a Facebook page and YouTube channel to share the footage, and allow people to share their memories in return.

"People can all still remember what it was like and what they were wearing," said Carl. "People are spotting themselves in the pictures and I think that's what gets me excited – this passion, and all these narratives and memories coming back because I was too young then, but to see back in those days it was pure, it was early, it was experimental, it was kind of political – it's very different to what it is now.
"To see all these old timers getting together, I don't think our generation would do that 25 years from now, because we've not got anything we can really hold on to.
Plymouth heroes bring man back to life after heart attack
"Nowadays it's too social media based, whereas back in the day there was reasons for doing what they did. I find that fascinating."
Kev added: "There was no digital cameras or phones. To be the only person for about eight years to carry a camera around Plymouth was quite cool.
"I would get a really good reaction of people. No one would give me any hassle at all. They all reacted nicely to the camera."

Cenk Uygur: Jeb Bush Thinks You Don't Work Hard Enough
The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur let's Mr. Trickle-Down Economics Jeb (!) have it for his nonsense claiming that Americans aren't working hard enough.
By Heather — July 10, 2015
The Young Turks' Cenk Uygur let Mr. Trickle-Down Economics Jeb (!) have it for his nonsense claiming that Americans aren't working hard enough, and that the cure for our economic problems is that everyone just needs to put in a few more hours to get us to four percent growth.
Jeb Bush Thinks You Don't Work Hard Enough:
Jeb Bush has an interesting idea on how to boost economic growth: people should just work longer hours. Despite the fact that US employees work on average 47 hours per week, more than most of the industrialized world, Jeb Bush thinks Americans have it too easy. He later tried to backpedal, saying he meant part-time workers, but not very convincingly. TYT host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.
Here's more from Raw Story: Young Turks' Cenk Uygur blasts Jeb Bush: 'Your family helped with the greatest robbery in history!':
On Thursday, Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks TV tore into former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R)'s contention to the editorial board of the Manchester, NH Union-Leader newspaper that the key to rescuing the American economy is for workers to put in "longer hours."
"(W)e have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours," Bush said.
"He's incorrect on so many different levels," Uygur said.
Half of U.S. full time workers reported working more than 40 hours per week on average in 2014, explained Uygur.
"So it's not like we're not working enough," he said. "Half of us are working more than 40 hours."
In fact, U.S. employees work longer hours and take fewer vacations than workers in any other industrialized nation.
The worst thing about these statements from Bush, though, Uygur said, is that the former governor comes from an extremely privileged background, so what does he know about the fortitude and determination of the average U.S. worker?
"This is Jeb Bush, who's been handed everything on a silver platter because of his name," Uygur said, so the candidate can "spare me about how we need to work harder."
He went on to point out that worker productivity in the U.S. has risen steadily since 1950 in a line that rises all the way to the present. Wages, however, stopped tracking alongside the productivity line around 1978 to 1980.
"Oh, by the way, who was the vice president in 1980?" Uygur asked. "Oh, right, George H. W. Bush."
At that point in history, wages "flatlined," said Uygur, and they've stayed there, "because Republican policy positions, because of the onslaught of money in politics changed so that the people at the top, the CEOs got to take all that money home."
"They did an unbelievable redistribution of wealth," he explained.
Uygar used the same chart as Hillary Clinton did when she got the better of Bush on Twitter this week to make his point.
Anyone who believes Americans aren't working hard enough hasn't met enough American workers. pic.twitter.com/wyS1p8zcDo
— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) July 9, 2015
Bush's comment about Americans not working hard enough when the opposite is true ought to be enough to sink his campaign, and I'll just leave us with Charlie Pierce's take on why::
It has been three generations since any member of the extended Bush clan of Kennebunkport has done any actual physical labor so, if we're being charitable, we can assume that Jeb (!) wouldn't recognize real work if you handed him a shovel and pointed him toward a ditch. Nonetheless, he would like you to know that you are not working as hard as you should work if you want to be as successful as, well, him.
"My aspiration for the country and I believe we can achieve it, is 4 percent growth as far as the eye can see. Which means we have to be a lot more productive, workforce participation has to rise from its all-time modern lows. It means that people need to work longer hours and, through their productivity, gain more income for their families. That's the only way we're going to get out of this rut that we're in."
Holy Jesus H. Christ on a furlough, there's your "47 percent" moment for this cycle. What is it with this guy and with that other Florida Man, Marco Rubio? Is the sun so bright that neither of them sees the rakes until it's too late? Every legitimate survey demonstrates that Americans are working longer hours for wages that pretty much have remained flat for 30 years while most of the country's wealth was being shoved up to that level of the economy wherein reside Jeb (!) and his family of entitled layabouts. This is pure Romneyism in action. This one statement should kill his campaign. It should be hung around his neck like a dead raccoon until the last ballot of the 2016 election is cast. If it's not, it's only because some people will do anything to keep this guy viable because he allegedly is more "serious" than many of the other presidential candidates. Those people are wrong.

A renowned Sindhi language poet, Taj Mohammed Samoo alias Tajal Bewas, died of brain haemorrhage at Liaquat National Hospital on Saturday morning. He was 71.
The deceased — born in Pir Hayat Shah village, Khairpur district— has left behind a widow, four sons, six daughters and a large number of friends and admirers to mourn his untimely demise. He was the author of 44 books—34 published, including a collection of Urdu poetry 'Andaz-e-Bayan Aur' and 10 other books under publication. He had also contributed hundreds of articles on various topics, including travelogues, book reviews and forwards of books, which are needed to be compiled.
Bewas devoted his entire life to literature. He tried to experiment in all native and modern forms of poetry. He had also written short stories, which were recognised by critics of Sindhi and Urdu literature. He was often invited as the main speaker and guest in combined Urdu and Sindhi Mushairas in different parts of Sindh.
Sheikh Ayaz called Tajal Bewas as a skilled poet in Sindhi classical form "Bait".
Before retirement, Bewas served as a bureaucrat at different posts of the provincial and federal governments. He served as an Additional Secretary, Government of Pakistan and Registrar of Companies Government of Sindh.
His admirers have set up a library dedicated to him in Kumb, Khairpur district. He was laid to rest in an archaeological site Chowkandi Graveyard, off National Highway, Karachi—where a large number of poets, writers, friends and family members attended the funeral.


As director of design for Jaguar, IanCallum is the first in and last out of every vehicle the manufacturer creates. Shaping the brand's aesthetic for the last two decades earned Callum five honorary doctorates, aswell as recognizable status as a titan of design in the motoring world. On the heels of Jaguar's launch of its first fully electric automobile, the I-Pace, Callum shares his thoughts with Alexandra Cheney on when to say no, how good design can be drawn in three lines and what keeps his wheels spinning.
"I don't win them all I'm afraid," Ian Callum told me over a chilled, slightly saccharine glass of Montenegrin white wine. "But this one I did."We were sat on the rooftop terrace of Aman's Sveti Stefan, a 15th-century island village turned luxury resort, for the launch of Jaguar's F-Pace, the brand's first foray into the SUV class. As the sun dropped below the Adriatic Sea on a balmy Friday night, Callum raised his glass and glanced, with equal parts paternal affection and satisfaction, towards the "hardest thing" he's ever had to create.
Despite the challenge, Callum believes, above all, in his gut. "You have to trust your own judgment and be ruthless with yourself and with your team. It's a bit like scolding your own children, but the discipline of beauty is so important that you must leave out as much as you can." The F-Pace is now Jaguar's best-selling vehicle.
Shortly after his 14th birthday, Callum first laid eyes on the long, low-hooded XJ6. Inspired and already job hunting, he mailed some sketches from his home to Jaguar's then-chief engineer, Bill Heynes. Heynes responded with a letter, writing, "your ideas are good and you have obviously a flair for the styling side of the industry." He also advised the young teen to attend art school.
Callum heeded Heynes's instruction, studying at the Glasgow School of Art before taking a masters in vehicle design at the Royal College of Art in London. He began the first decade of his career at Ford Design studios but soon found a home at Jaguar. Callum promptly produced concepts for the R-Coupe, R-D6, C-X75 and C-X17. Design and car awards soon followed, as did Callum-coined motifs.
One of the most recognizable is his penchant for pushing the wheels as far as possible to each side of any vehicle, reducing front and rear overhang and, according to Callum, automatically conveying a sense of movement. "There are a couple of areas I will lie on the tracks for," and as everyone familiar with his work knows, that's one of the foremost.
Callum reports directly to Dr Ralf Speth, CEO of Jaguar Land Rover, and welcomes the occasional visit from Tata Motors, the Mumbai-based conglomerate and Jaguar's parent company.
It's that purpose of discovery, serendipity even, that's been the driving force and constant through line linking Callum's body of work. "I've always believed any good design can be drawn in two or three lines." I detect a smile pushing through the phone as Callum continues. "What may seem obvious takes a long time." In June, Jaguar announced its investment of $18b over the next three years to electrify its lineup. That shift began with the September launch of the I-Pace, its entrée into fully electric automobiles.
If staunch discipline and the posthumous opinions of Sir Lyons provide a pair of guiding headlights for Callum, integrity and emotion are his taillights.
Electrifying cars is inevitable, Callum explains, but at the moment he's excited to "have it for ourselves for a little while." Head-to-head comparisons with the Tesla Model X already abound, but Callum says he is neither surprised nor caught up in the hullabaloo.

Sister Souljah, the hip-hop generation's number one author and most compelling storyteller, delivers a powerful story about love and loyalty, strength and family. For the absolute majority it is unknown and undone. It has chronicled, informed, educated, entertained and, in many instances, set the economic, political and social agenda for our nation and its multi-ethnic citizens.
Jede Nacht schleichen sie sich heimlich in den Keller des Krankenhauses, denn. Zu viele Fragen, denn plötzlich drohen Geheimnisse ans Tageslicht zu kommen, die besser verborgen geblieben wären. Midnight will remain in your mind and beat in your heart for a lifetime. It is a prequel of 1999 , the novel that spawned the contemporary movement. Beautifully written, raw, and authentic, this novel firmly established Sister Souljah as the mother of all contemporary urban literature and the author of the first classic of the genre. Als Tom mit einer Gehirnerschütterung ins Krankenhaus kommt, schließt er schnell Freundschaft mit den anderen Kindern auf der Station: Da ist Amber mit ihren Gipsarmen und -beinen; Robin mit seiner Augenbinde; George, der sich von einer Mandeloperation erholt; und die kleine Sally, die so krank ist, dass sie die meiste Zeit im Bett liegen muss.
Now, in a highly anticipated follow-up to her million-selling masterpiece, she brings readers into the life and dangerously close to the heart of this silent, fearless young man. For nearly 100 years, The Crisis has been the magazine of opinion and thought leaders, decision makers, peacemakers and justice seekers. Even where I am from, there are whores. If not, in the long run, we got nothing in common. Midnight will remain in your mind and beat in your heart for a lifetime. They love when I lay them down and my height and body weight dominates them.
In her bestselling novel, The Coldest Winter Ever, Sister Souljah introduced the world to Midnight, a brave but humble lieutenant to a prominent underworld businessman. Jede Nacht schleichen sie sich heimlich in den Keller des Krankenhauses, denn. Von nun an können die Freitage gar nicht schnell genug kommen. All of the women show me that they love my guns, the fact that I walk with two of them at times. There is no talk of role models and celebrities. Ben ist Feuer und Flamme. Of course every writer, every published author is looking to have their work have an impact.

I use this blade in a Milwaukee M12 Fuel Hackzall for light pruning work. For me this set-up pretty much replaces a traditional pruning saw for jobs too small for a chain saw. This blade is made by Freud and is exactly the same as the Diablo pruning blade. I mention this for two reasons: it's high quality and buy whichever is cheapest.
I'm pleased with this blade. This blade cut off limbs like a hot knife cuts through butter. It very sharp and seems that it will last this way for a long time. It is a good thick solid blade that does not vibrate and/or wiggles like others while cutting.

The Broom of the System is like the pendulum of a clock

SLOWHARD
The Broom of the System was the first published novel by the American author David Foster Wallace. Having committed suicide aged 46, Wallace is largely remembered for his 1996 novel Infinite Jest. A book that entered the Pulitzer Prize shortlist. DFW had studied philosophy, logic, and maths, themes that recur throughout the structure and themes of his books, and taught creative writing.
A plot with spirit
Set against the backdrop of an alternative and seemingly-grotesque America, The Broom of the System notches up adventures and characters in a clever, funny, and satirical way. Set in a rather abstracted 1990s Cleveland, there's the story of Lenore, who sets out in search of her great-grandmother, a geriatric scholar of the Austrian-British philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein.
She has fled from the Shaker Heights Nursing Home, along with twenty-five of the other residents. Lenore tries to find her, accompanied in the character list by one of her brothers, called LaVache, a little genius with a passion for marijuana. Meanwhile, to add spirit to the humor, there is Vlad the Impaler, a parrot who recites Christian sermons from cable TV, and extracts from W.H. Auden.
Sitting one step off from reality
A sequence of riddles permeates The Broom of the System, as that Grandmother Lenore leaves after her escape to Lenore-the-protagonist and to LaVache. Lenore herself seems mysterious, as other characters only describe her in the form of detached third-person, without any first-person narrative point of view of her own. The narrative is like the pendulum of a clock. It alternates between a lilting, regular pace and peaks of surreality, and its tension increases due to the sudden presence and absence of the characters, who are prone to vanish. The last word, mysteriously, is simply not written.
The twenty-one chapters are full of puzzles, which the reader can piece together, and the book enjoys using irony against the reader, while also being self-deprecating. It also mocks the idiosyncrasies of American culture while simultaneously using the work and ideas of Wittgenstein to philosophize language. In The Broom of the System, Foster Wallace tries to squeeze the world into a novel and naturally fails, but the attempt is scintillating, a book that always sits one step off from reality.

There is no doubt the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is going to change the way we all do business. Companies, regulators and consumers are eager for a new wave of efficiency and productivity. However, the most valuable asset the IIoT will produce is not a smart grid or an intelligent network. The most valuable asset is data.
Many companies are already surrounded by more data than they know how to put to use. They are data rich and information poor (DRIP). The problem is that data is not treated like an asset. Just as too much cash can cause problems for a company if it is not strategically invested, data that is simply collected can be a wasted opportunity. The IIoT will grow every organization's data collection abilities exponentially.
The real power of data is that it communicates the real-world wants, needs, and behaviors of the consumer and the infrastructure. There is no need to conduct market surveys or to guess at what customers really want. Instead, a robust data analytics program can find patterns and practices of which even customers themselves are unaware.
IIoT and big data are increasingly being seen as two sides of the same coin. These technological innovations give utilities and communications firms the power to create new assets at extremely low costs. Instead of having to invest capital in large infrastructure products to power growth and expand their customer base, firms will be able to look at their data generated from the IIoT and create new services for existing customers at a fraction of the cost.
Soon, every company will be a part of the IIoT. The only difference will be the degree to which they leverage their data to fuel growth.
