“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”
-R. Buckminster Fuller
Normally, when people are quoted, it is done for the purpose of bolstering their own point of view. Not so in this case.
R. Buckminster Fuller, humanitarian par extraordinaire, genius and visionary: this is one of those occasions where he just stepped in it. Like that time he claimed politics would be extinct by the year 2000. Everyone is allowed their fair share of mistakes, and the inventor of the term “Spaceship Earth” merits a lion’s share, but I just can’t make myself gloss over this one.
I would really like to believe we are an enlightened species. I would really like to believe it is in our nature to work for the betterment of all mankind, rather than just our own lot. Post-scarcity economics just sounds so personally fulfilling; like all our work can be converted into food, shelter, entertainment, health and meaning for the entire planet’s population, and without pollution.
The problem isn’t in the societal model. I’m confident the maths work out for post-scarcity economics. I’m confident it works like a charm in THEORY. The problem is with us. Humanity does not take well to forced, overt altruism.
Have you ever done charity work? Did you do so voluntarily? Or did you do it because you were forced to? Therein lies the rub. The legend of Teutonia, the communist commune in McKean county, should be known to you if you are interested in the history of altruism and/or socialism. German settlers purchased land, sold 660 shares for one hundred dollars a pop and set out to create a utopia where everyone could contribute as much as they could and partake in the fruits of their labours to their hearts’ content.
It all failed badly, although this one story should not in itself be taken as evidence that altruism doesn’t work. My contention is this: man is neither purely selfish nor purely altruistic, but establishing a society based upon either extreme is a losing proposition. Simple evolution by natural selection sees to this: in every established order there is room for a certain number of deviants who do not contribute according to the norm. They either provide less or in excess of expectations. When the number or degree of divergence grows too great, that society suffers upheaval and must either change or excise the deviants.
“Excise the deviants” – a marvellous obfuscation and euphemism for putting people against a wall and shooting them. Yet it is something mankind has done for thousands of years, changing our societies to better accomodate greater numbers of citizens, or the better to please the greatest power base.
This does not mean that mankind is inherently evil or mean, just that the way we work together has a stress limit. We do not like to be exploited beyond a certain level. Others taking advantage of our efforts make our bile rise, especially if we did not offer them these boons freely.
We could feed the entire world, put an end to crime, illness, strife and explore outer and inner space to our hearts’ content, but we won’t do it this way. This way leads to resentment, envy, distrust, schisms and withdrawal. It’s the way we are. What makes us great is our ability to excel, to push beyond boundaries, to strive for that which lies just beyond our reach, and never in the history of the world have we successfully entered into a social contract based on excellence for the common good, with one possible exception: the military. Militaristic hegemonies like Rome or Sparta excelled due to their meritocratic nature, but they would inevitably fail. Rome outgrew their structural design, and Sparta failed to replenish their warrior caste as they expanded. Today, militaries remain meritocratic societies-within-societies, yet unable to ever change.
So how to make a perfect world? I have my ideas, which are closely linked to my own philosophical, religious and ideological convictions. They are based on my apprehension of human nature, which may or may not be the same as yours. What I can tell you is that the way forward is THROUGH the self, not away from it. That sounds suitably cryptic.

Survey Shows What’s Keeping U.S. Small Business Owners Awake at Night
New report charts business worries of the businesses that employ millions of Americans but are often overlooked.
Jan. 29, 2020
Surveys often poll business owners to gauge their outlook on the economy, anticipated spending or hiring plans, but we don’t often hear from the owners of very small businesses – those employing 20 or fewer people. Despite their small size, as a group, businesses of this size account for two-thirds of American small businesses, employing 17% of the U.S. workforce. However, the worries of this important group are often overlooked.
SurePayroll, a provider of payroll services built for small businesses, asked more than 500 owners of small businesses with 20 or fewer employees about their worries about the current business environment.
“As we move into the new year, it’s important to take time to assess the concerns of the people who run small businesses, because, in many ways, they are often the first to feel the impact of economic change,” said John Cumbee, general manager of SurePayroll. “Looking at what worries leaders of the smallest businesses in America is long overdue.”
The resulting 2020 Small Business Worry Index provides new insight into the minds of U.S. small business leaders, defining their challenges and offering a snapshot of how issues of the day affect their businesses differently.
Key findings include:
- Small business owners are concerned about the future despite a historically strong economy. Over the next year, nearly a quarter of respondents anticipate being unable to make payroll at least once, leaving as many as 5.1 million Americans at risk of missing a paycheck in 2020.
- Business worries seep into small business owners’ personal lives. A significant number of respondents said that personal relationships, physical and mental health, and their work-life have suffered as a result of work-related stress.
- Economic decision-making from political leaders is troubling. More than a third of respondents (35%) are concerned about how tariffs will affect their businesses in 2020. Additionally, respondents indicated uncertainty among political leadership and decision-making as some of their biggest worries heading into the next decade.
Topics covered in the survey included the economy, taxes and regulation, cash flow management, technology and cybersecurity, and hiring.

About this survey:
SurePayroll polled 500 randomly selected small business owners across the US, between the dates of September 26, 2019 and September 28, 2019. The survey was conducted online via Lucid and had a margin of error of +/- 4 percent.
SurePayroll, Inc., (www.surepayroll.com) is a leading provider of online payroll and related services, including 401(k), workers’ compensation insurance, pre-employment screening and health insurance, for U.S. small businesses, CPAs and bookkeepers. An independent subsidiary of Paychex, Inc., SurePayroll founded the online payroll industry in 2000. Together, SurePayroll and Paychex together serve more than 670,000 small businesses.

DO you know that Ishmael Bernal’s Pagdating Sa Dulo, which will open the 3rd World Premieres Film Festival Philippines on June 29, may be considered the country’s first indie film?
Although the iconic film was produced in 1971 yet, it wasn’t any of the big time movie companies then that bankrolled it. It was some kind of fly-by-night company that produced it: Frankessa Films. The outfit was put together by the movie’s main producer, George Sison, who had to cajole some of his equally well-off friends to invest in the film which would turn out to be Bernal’s first completed directorial ouevre. (Oh, yes, not too many know that Bernal got more than halfway directing the comedy Ah, Ewan, Basta sa Maynila Pa Rin Ako for Virgo Films’ of the then actor-producer couple Eddie Rodriguez and Liza Moreno.
The would-be National Artist for Film decided to give up what would have been his first directorial creation when he was asked to scrap some scenes and add new ones conceived by the producers.
“We couldn’t produce any follow-up film because Pagdating Sa Dulo also led the company to its end: it was a great flop,” deadpanned George one night recently at a Makati restaurant.
Though Pagdating Sa Dulo is listed by critics as one of Ten Best Filipino Films of All Time, it had the look, feel, and intention of an independent film. Almost all of the film’s settings are cramped and suffocating. And if you would read the few retrospective reviews in the internet, you’d find out that all the critics stress that the tight settings are appropriate to what the filmmaker wants to say about life and filmmaking as an art.
Pagdating Sa Dulo was already indie in 1971 even as it top billed big stars Rita Gomez, Vic Vargas, Eddie Garcia, Ronaldo Valdez, and then-television’s hottest host Elvira Manahan (who never appeared in any other film).
The digitally-restored film was previewed to the press recently to drum up the forthcoming 12-day international film festival put together on its third year by the now very dynamic government agency, Film Development Council of the Philippines, headed by former filmmaker Briccio Santos. The venue was Cinematheque at the very accessible TM Kalaw St. in Manila where Instituto Cervantes used to be. All the entries and non-competing films from various continents will be shown in the same venue, where parallel events (such as symposiums and live variety shows) will also be held.
A number of films however, including those in competition (categories: Filipino and continental) will also be shown in SM North Edsa, Greenbelt 3, SM Megamall, Shangri-la Plaza , and Uptown Mall.
For more details on the festival, logged on to www.wpff.ph. The festival also has a Facebook page.
We all know that after Bernal did Pagdating sa Dulo, he went on to do other film masterpieces and prestigious commercial films. As for Sison, he evolved mainly into a spiritual guru (though he seems to prefer to be tagged these days with the worldly title “life management coach”). He founded the spiritual study group Temple of Prayer, Peace, and Prosperity, which remains active up to now. He writes the uniquely combined spiritual and high-society column And so it is for a broadsheet and recently published the bold and daring book You Are God (As You Are).
Sison will attend the grand screening of Pagdating at Cinematheque and will be presented in a press conference right after the screening to answer questions about the film and Bernal who was his fellow member of a theater guild at the University of the Philippines Diliman, along with Lino Brocka and Behn Cervantes.
It was Sison who gave the film its title, which is a line from the Tagalog folk song Leron Leron Sinta.
“Ishma (Bernal) showed me his script with no title yet, and asked me to think of one. Almost immediately after reading it, I blurted to him ‘pagdating sa dulo, nabali ang sanga.’ He liked it on the spot, though we removed ‘nabali ang sanga’ to make the title more exciting, if not titillating,” revealed the irrepressible Sison who was incarcerated at Camp Crame during Martial Law for his exposes against the Marcoses writing as a journalist under the pseudonym Conde de Makati.
As producer of Pagdating sa Dulo, he had to go by another pseudonym: Desi Dison.
We’ll reveal why he had to hide under an assumed name, after his press conference at the festival’s opening day.

During week nine, ten and eleven we discussed about the contemporary ethical issues. Under the contemporary issues including all three parts we discussed about so many issues such as cloning, surrogacy, abortion, same sex marriage, insider trade, death penalty, animals right, corruption, divorce and plagiarism.
Among all these above mentioned topic, the topic that stole most of our time and that attract me to include in my reflection is same sex marriage. This is serious issues about the marriage between same sexes or equal marriage. Similarly, every day we can see Gays and lesbians have been fighting for their rights. This issue was unknown for me in a sane I have never seen such issue practically in my life but when we discussed about this topic During Dr.Faosiy’s lecture I felt that it is unethical but also can be ethical. What I mean here is that this issue is totally contextual we really cannot judge from one angle sticking to the one point as some of my friends had done in the class. As the situation is contextual we can agree, disagree or can be in neutral. It does not mean that if I agree about this issue I am totally against the thoughts and ideas of my friend’s rather I do agree with my friends view but my thought is slightly different compare to them. So, as being a student all though I do not have enough idea about this issue but I like to trace out both side of this issue how it can be unethical and how it can be ethical from my perspective point of view.
In some nations and society same sex marriage is prohibited because they think that god have created male and female to marry each other. The bond between male and female is natural and pure as god created in this way. They also believe that marrying between same sex is like going against the policy made by god and religion.
Nevertheless, In some nation it is allowed and also declared by the constitution that same sex is allowed to marry, because they believe that both gays and lesbians are human being and it is there right to get marry once they fall in love after all everything fare in love. Similarly, being gay or lesbian is not a crime because they born as gay or lesbian and it is the part of nature. Eventually, during our discussion in the lecture some of friends point out that being gays or lesbians is a kind of diseases that leads to go against the nature law. So, he further mentioned that for such situation in society we should make strict law against same sex marriage or we should kill those who marry same sex. For me this sound so egocentric because when we look from the point of gays and lesbians same issues looks different. For an example he mentioned that being gay or lesbians are the diseases, in the same way we can say that if an individual is a patient of HIV he obviously seeks for the medicine to cure his disease that means everyone looks for medicine when they got diseases. It clearly shows that even though being gays or lesbians is a type of disease they have their right to look for the alternatives to cure that disease and should continue until they can find it. May be marring same sex could me medicine to some extend as they mentioned that they are the victim of disease. So, if we look from the point of gays and lesbians they have their right to marry with same sex; in other words same issues can be medicine for some people and society and also it can be poisons for another people or society which cannot be digest at all.
However, in my country Nepal we do not have any law about this issue because we rarely see gays and lesbians in our country and till now I have not seen same sex marriage between Nepali citizens. But if there is any case about same sex marriage in the future, I think our government should accept it as ethical because it is all about human rights and they are also human being with same feelings like normal being.
In conclusion, I believe that same sex marriage is unethical to some extend but it also can be ethical if it is only solution and it is very necessary.

Bugbear in the Playground
Re: Shrine Warrior, The Other Divine Agent (PEACH)
Before I get down into the crunch of it, I'd like to say two things. First, the reason you haven't had much feedback on this is likely because it's quite simple and extremely well done. There's not that much to say. Second, your spell table is messed up...and it's very distracting
Now, I like this a lot and might use it for a campaign villain. Pretty much everything is done well and it's still cool while being simple. It might be justified to either give him two domains or, and this is more likely, give him a bonus spell for domains. However, that brings him farther from being a gish and closer to being a spellcaster, which is a trap a lot of classes like this can fall into.
Other suggestions would be to make the skill points 4 which won't unbalance anything but will keep me from going over every skill description with a magnifying glass and highlighter in the PHB, and maybe giving it a d10 HD.
Regarding the minion, I like it a lot, but to me it doesn't feel very different from an animal companion/familiar. I'd say either allow the player to give it the fiendish or celestial template (which definitely won't make it too strong. Promise) or give it some SLAs.
In the domain section you might want to specify that the shrine warrior also gets the domain's granted power (I assume you want him to).

Marketing for small business development
Small business marketing is 100% mandatory. Without it, the business will never become large or even medium-sized. To think that you will earn money first and then take up marketing is a big mistake. Thousands of small businesses have been using this tactic for decades, but have not been able to grow. They dream of becoming big, but dreams without good marketing remain dreams.
Launching small business marketing
If you want to grow, then the first thing you need to do is marketing. Hundreds of small businesses were able to quickly become medium and large. But in 100% of cases, this was achieved only through high-quality marketing. Small business optimization is impossible without marketing. To grow, you need a powerful flow of customers, and it is impossible to get it without marketing. If marketing is used in small businesses, then growth is 100% guaranteed.
Even just surviving so as not to close down is difficult without marketing. Marketing can be ignored, but it is still undesirable, when demand is greater than supply. But now there are almost no such markets. Almost all markets are now experiencing an oversupply. Therefore, customers should be motivated to choose and buy your products or services.

Nowadays, with the innovation and progress of social media and social ways, people’s social needs are gradually expanding, and social ways are also becoming diversified. As a national social sports game, Honor of Kings has reconstructed and innovated people’s social activities in social functions and ways in recent years. Now players come to Honor of Kings not only for fun, but also for more diversified motives. This paper analyzes and studies the players of Honor of Kings through semi-structured interviews, and analyzes them from the four dimensions of individual, group, virtual and reality, so as to explore the different meanings of the king’s glory to different players.

Nearly all electronics require devices called oscillators that create precise frequencies—frequencies used to keep time in wristwatches or to transmit reliable signals to radios.
For nearly 100 years, these oscillators have relied upon quartz crystals to provide a frequency reference, much like a tuning fork is used as a reference to tune a piano. However, future high-end navigation systems, radar systems, and even possibly tomorrow's consumer electronics will require references beyond the performance of quartz.
Now, researchers in the laboratory of Kerry Vahala, the Ted and Ginger Jenkins Professor of Information Science and Technology and Applied Physics at Caltech, have developed a method to stabilize microwave signals in the range of gigahertz, or billions of cycles per second—using a pair of laser beams as the reference, in lieu of a crystal.
Quartz crystals "tune" oscillators by vibrating at relatively low frequencies—those that fall at or below the range of megahertz, or millions of cycles per second, like radio waves. However, quartz crystals are so good at tuning these low frequencies that years ago, researchers were able to apply a technique called electrical frequency division that could convert higher-frequency microwave signals into lower-frequency signals, and then stabilize these with quartz.
The new technique, which Vahala and his colleagues have dubbed electro-optical frequency division, builds off of the method of optical frequency division, developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology more than a decade ago. "Our new method reverses the architecture used in standard crystal-stabilized microwave oscillators—the 'quartz' reference is replaced by optical signals much higher in frequency than the microwave signal to be stabilized," Vahala says.
Jiang Li—a Kavli Nanoscience Institute postdoctoral scholar at Caltech and one of two lead authors on the paper, along with graduate student Xu Yi—likens the method to a gear chain on a bicycle that translates pedaling motion from a small, fast-moving gear into the motion of a much larger wheel.
"Electrical frequency dividers used widely in electronics can work at frequencies no higher than 50 to 100 GHz. Our new architecture is a hybrid electro-optical 'gear chain' that stabilizes a common microwave electrical oscillator with optical references at much higher frequencies in the range of terahertz or trillions of cycles per second," Li says.
The optical reference used by the researchers is a laser that, to the naked eye, looks like a tiny disk. At only 6 mm in diameter, the device is very small, making it particularly useful in compact photonics devices—electronic-like devices powered by photons instead of electrons, says Scott Diddams, physicist and project leader at the National Institute of Standards and Technology and a coauthor on the study.
"There are always tradeoffs between the highest performance, the smallest size, and the best ease of integration. But even in this first demonstration, these optical oscillators have many advantages; they are on par with, and in some cases even better than, what is available with widespread electronic technology," Vahala says.
The new technique is described in a paper that will be published in the journal Science on July 18. Other authors on this paper include Hansuek Lee, who is a visiting associate at Caltech. The work was sponsored by the DARPA's ORCHID and PULSE programs; the Caltech Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM), an NSF Physics Frontiers Center with support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation; and the Caltech Kavli NanoScience Institute.

Update - Plutonium shipments
11 August 1999
NGOs and CHURCHES IN FIJI OPPOSE PLUTONIUM SHIPS
SUVA: Non-government and church organisations in Fiji have protested against a nuclear delegation visiting Suva, as two shiploads of plutonium MOX fuel are heading towards the South Pacific region on the way to Japan.
The non-government and church organisations are concerned that British, French and Japanese nuclear officials are lobbying quietly to promote dozens more plutonium shipments in coming years.
An advertisement from church and community groups in today's Fiji Times (below) calls for a halt of all nuclear waste shipments through the Pacific. The advertisement is signed by the Pacific Concerns Resource Centre, Fiji Council of Churches, Pacific Conference of Churches, Greenpeace Pacific and other women's, environment and human rights groups in Fiji.
Mrs. Losena Salabula of Pacific Concerns Resource Centre (PCRC) stated: "A nuclear delegation from Britain, France and Japan is currently visiting Fiji to promote their deadly trade. We are not reassured by their claims that the plutonium ships cannot sink, or that the canisters carrying radioactive wastes can never be breached. Britain, France and Japan should halt all transport of plutonium and high level radioactive wastes through the South Pacific".
Students and community groups will leaflet a meeting at the Japanese Embassy in Suva today to highlight the presence of the nuclear waste lobbyists. The delegation touring the region includes representatives of:
Text of advertisement (Fiji Times, Wednesday 11 August)
Keep our Pacific ocean nuclear free!
PLUTONIUM SHIPS ON THE WAY TO SOUTH PACIFIC
Two ships carrying plutonium MOX fuel will soon travel through the South Pacific on their way from Europe to Japan. The Pacific Pintail and Pacific Teal will pass between Australia and New Zealand, and then through the Exclusive Economic Zones of South Pacific island nations.
Today, a high-powered (radioactive) delegation from Japan, France and the United Kingdom is visiting Suva, to try convince Pacific Island governments that those shipments are harmless. We, the undersigned, say RUBBISH!
As non-government, church and community organisations in Fiji, we are opposed to the shipment of plutonium and other radioactive wastes through our region. We are concerned about potential hazards to our environment, economy and health.
We join the members of the South Pacific Forum (Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Tonga, Samoa, Palau, Cook Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Nauru, Vanuatu and Niue), to call on Japan, France and the United Kingdom to halt all nuclear shipments through our waters.
We ask our South Pacific governments to work together to end all nuclear shipments through our region, by strengthening the Rarotonga Treaty for a South Pacific Nuclear Free Zone, and the 1995 Waigani Convention on radioactive and hazardous wastes.
We want to be nuclear free!

* Greek lawmakers fail to elect new president
* Athens’ ATG equity index falls, hitting European markets
* Spanish and Italian markets also weaken
* UK’s FTSE outperforms, helped by rise in gold miners
By Francesco Canepa and Sudip Kar-Gupta
LONDON, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Greek shares slumped on Monday, knocking European stock markets, after lawmakers rejected the government’s candidate for president, leaving Greece facing a snap election that could derail its bailout programme.
Sole candidate Stavros Dimas, a former European Commissioner, fell short of the 180 vote supermajority needed to become president. He secured 168 votes in parliament, the same score he achieved in the second round.
Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras announced a snap election on Jan 25. Opinion polls point to a victory by the radical leftist Syriza party, which wants to wipe out a big part of Greece’s debt, and cancel the terms of a bailout from the European Union and International Monetary Fund that Greece still needs to pay its bills.
The benchmark ATG Athex General Composite Share Price Index fell 6.4 percent, leaving it near levels not seen since 2012. The Athens index had already slumped due to fears that Dimas would fall short, dropping 12.8 percent on Dec. 9, and is down 31 percent in 2014.
IG market analyst Alastair McCaig said the Greek result could affect the European Central Bank’s (ECB) plans for new economic stimulus measures to tackle the economic weakness afflicting Europe, such as quantitative easing (‘QE’).
”Although this is a specific issue for Greece, it will raise fresh fears over the fate of the euro zone and the timelines for the possible implementation of a European version of QE.
“2015 could see an escalation in the debate over austerity, with the same old north-south divide on what is proportional still raging,” McCaig said.
Greek banks bore the brunt of the hit to the Athens market, with Bank of Piraeus dropping 9 percent after earlier touching record lows, while National Bank of Greece fell 10.3 percent.
The Greek result also hit stock markets in Spain and Italy. Both southern European nations were hit similarly hard by the euro zone economic slump and sovereign debt crisis which led to Greece’s 2010 bailout.
Spanish and Italian bond yields rose, pushing Madrid’s IBEX down 1.8 percent while Milan’s FTSE MIB fell 2.2 percent, and the euro zone’s blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index fell 0.9 percent.
Andy Ash, head of sales at Monument Securities, said there was a good chance that the ECB could announce QE measures when it meets on Jan. 22, in order to minimise any knock-on effects to European markets from the Greek vote later on Jan. 25.
Britain’s FTSE 100 index managed to outperform the pullback on continental European markets by rising 0.2 percent, as the UK market was helped by a rise in gold miners such as Fresnillo and Randgold, which were propped up as the price of gold moved higher.

The new Ford GT Heritage Edition honors the GT40 that raced to victory at the 1968 and 1969 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The original Ford GT40 has plenty of racing pedigree, having secured several consecutive Le Mans victories in the 1960s. In its 1966 debut race, the Ford GT famously defeated Ferrari with a historic one-two-three finish. Understandably, Ford loves to milk the car's racing heritage with special edition versions of the new GT. Following the red 2017 Heritage Edition honoring the GT40's 1967 Le Mans Victory, Ford has revealed a new Heritage Edition for the 2019 model that celebrates the 50th anniversary of the 1968 and 1969 Le Mans-winning GT40.
It features the legendary American Gulf Oil-sponsored blue and orange paint scheme, arguably one of the most famous racing liveries of all time. If you're going to buy a Ford GT, this is the paint scheme you want. "Many view the Gulf Oil paint scheme as the most famous in motorsports," said Joe Hinrichs, Ford president, global operations. "The 1968 GT40 quickly became a global sensation after beating its European competitors on the track four times in a row, and in honor of the 50th anniversary of its win, we're paying fresh tribute to the original with a new heritage limited edition."
The 1968 GT, known among motorsport enthusiasts as chassis No. 1075, was one of just a few individual cars to achieve repeat victories in the 24 Hours of Le Mans. An optional package provides exposed carbon fiber accents for both the interior and exterior of the Ford GT Heritage Edition. For 2019, the package features the No. 9 graphics on the hood and doors, as well as a ghosted image on the interior door panels. 2020 editions will wear the number six, representing the same car that won Le Mans in 1969 with a different number.
Further distinguishing the new Ford GT Heritage Edition are exposed carbon fiber A-pillars and unique set of 20-inch forged aluminum wheels finished in high-gloss. Orange calipers and silver rearview mirror caps round off the exterior changes.
Inside, the seats, instrument panel, pillars, headliner and steering wheel are wrapped in Ebony Alcantara with contrasting blue and orange stitching on the seats and steering wheel. There's also a new seat embossment inspired by the original 1968 Le Mans-winning car and polished anodized paddle shifters. Each Ford GT Heritage Edition also features a unique serialized identification plate, but Ford hasn't said if there will be a production cap.

This Autumn vintage blogger Jenny takes us through the decades, showcasing her favourite Hotter styles to suit her vintage outfits. In her first post for the season Jenny creates a 1960s inspired look with new style Crimdon…
Continuing with my Style Series from Spring/Summer, here I pick out some key designs from the forthcoming Autumn/Winter season, highlighting which styles are perfect for creating a vintage look. For a casual, yet stylish 1960s inspired style, I selected the Crimdon loafers.
Loafers have been a popular choice of footwear since the 1930s. Due to their understated design, coupled with their enduring practicality, loafers have never really dipped a toe out of fashion since.
When we think of the styles of shoes women wore during the first few decades of the twentieth century; we usually think of heels. Throughout history, women’s shoes have often borrowed details from their masculine counterparts (and vice-versa, indeed the male shoes of the seventeenth century were decidedly feminine in appearance). From the 1930s, this trend became more apparent, with flat shoes gradually becoming more acceptable for women.
By the mid-1940s, American designer Claire McCardell popularised ballet flats, producing them in colours and fabrics to match her collections. This facilitated with the general acceptance of women wearing flat shoes over heels, with loafers considered the more practical counterpart.
The Crimdon loafers are available in Black, Truffle Multi, or the colour I chose – Burgundy Metallic. The patent finish of the burgundy lends a deep, rich tone to the leather. Burgundy is also a very versatile colour, easily matching many shades and tones.
To create a 1960s inspired look, I styled Crimdon with cigarette pants, a vintage Jaeger jumper, and matching scarf and beret. I finished the look with a reversible vintage 1960s cape – thereby doubling my outerwear options!
For a modern take on a 1960s style, pair Crimdon with straight cut trousers, or a mid-century inspired A-line skirt. Crimdon would look great teamed with coloured hosiery, perfect for adding an extra layer of warmth and style to an Autumnal outfit.
Jenny Mearns from vintage fashion blog https://missjennyfrances.wordpress.com/ is a historical fashion consultant, writer and lingerie designer.
Her love of clothing often sees her wearing her own creations and designs. When not in her sewing and design studio, she can be found along the seafront admiring the views of the South coast.

To see your own photo recreations of this style featured in our app, feel free to tag your photos on IG with: #CGHHalfUpHeartBun
To begin this Valentine's day hairstyle start by pulling some of the top hair back into a ponytail near the crown. Remember to keep the style soft and loose. Take one of the remaining side pieces and begin to braid it. Secure with an elastic and repeat on the other side. Take both braids and secure them together directly under the ponytail. This will help keep the elastic hidden.
On the original ponytail we are going to create a heart hair flip. Create a small hole in the ponytail and flip the hair under and through the hole. Secure that out of the way temporarily.
Now take two more side pieces and twist them back toward the back of the hair. Loosen them a little to keep them soft. Take them up and over the braids and bobby pin them.
Lower the flip hair back down and divide it into two pieces. Spray it a little with hairspray or wax to add a little stiffness. You can also tease the pieces a little to add texture. Begin to use these pieces to form the shape of a half heart. Clip the loops down to help keep the separated as you secure them together at the point of the heart.
Readjust any bobby pins that may be showing through and hair wrap the last elastic.

Peter Dykstra: A foodie tastes climate change
Some samples of where food is going… or gone.
Pity the poor climate reporter. Tasked to write about the costly future and gloomy topic of climate change, we often turn to food to try to relieve our misery. But in our case, that means writing about it, not eating it.
This past week, I distinctly heard the sound of a butter knife clinking against the bottom of a four-ounce jar.
Dijon mustard had joined the list of edible climate victims.
NPR sent its veteran Paris correspondent Eleanor Beardsley to the Bordeaux region. Not to report on the threat to Bordeaux wine, mind you, but on the region’s Dijon mustard. It turns out that genuine Dijon requires mustard seeds from Canada, and last year’s brutal, record-setting “heat dome” ruined the hot mustard crop.
And there’s more concern at the other end of the condiment aisle.
Olive output has suffered in recent years as more frequent winter waves of warm and chilly Mediterranean weather impact the trees’ flowering and fruiting. And as olives go, so goes olive oil.
And with our olive oil, so goes tomato sauce for pizza and pasta. About thirty percent of the world’s canned tomato crop comes from California’s Central Valley, where near-catastrophic drought threatens not a bad year, but a bad forever in one of the world’s key food-producing zones.
So, if Marie Antoinette were around to witness this, would she offer a tomato sauce workaround? Maybe, “Let them eat white clam sauce?”
Well... even for those of us who can stand white clam sauce, clams and other mollusks are vulnerable to the oceans’ rising levels of acidification.
And then there’s the wheat flour that’s turned into traditional pasta. Breadbaskets like Ukraine and the U.S. heartland are increasingly subject to drought, and nutritionists predict that rising CO2 levels could rob wheat, rice and other grains of nutrients.
As early as 2011, a study predicted problems for all manner of fruits and nuts grown throughout the world’s temperate regions. Pistachios, walnuts, cherries and peaches are among the crops that need warm summers and chilly, but not frigid winters to prosper. Warming winter temps may be a problem from Israel to Georgia.
So let’s take a break
Enough about our food for now. Let’s have a drink to relax. Are you a wine person? Well, get some Bordeaux while you can. It’s expected that the world’s prime grape-growing regions may shift with the climate.
Beer? Subtle changes in hops, barley –the yeast that turns sugar into alcohol– and other brewing essentials may not kill your favorite microbrew, but we have no idea how it will taste.
And if you prefer to inhale your escape, the folks at www.mjbizdaily.com have some news for you. The publication, which seems to regard itself as the Wall Street Journal of weed, projects marijuana growers as following the vineyards’ paths on the where cannabis will struggle, and the new places where it could thrive.
The 800-pound steer in the room
Of course, our current diet is a big factor in the climate crisis. Beef, pork and chicken, all raised factory-farming style, greatly contribute to methane release and other air-pollution issues. In regions where cattle are still raised on pasture, they are to blame for the clearing of tropical rainforests, like the Amazon, wiping out one of the world's great carbon sinks.
I could lose five pounds just writing down why I’m a climate-writing, meat-eating, climate-destroying hypocrite.
Prefer seafood? Sensitive to water temperatures, forage fish like sardines and anchovies are de-camping for warmer waters. On the North American East Coast, lobsters are deserting the southern New England coast for the cooler waters of Maine. But lobstermen worry that the crustaceans are merely biding their time to dodge the thermal draft and eventually will head to Canadian waters.
For their part, North Carolina fishermen, rigged and experienced to capture summer flounder, have to chase their target hundreds of miles up the coast to New Jersey.
So some of our food is leaving us. Other food is running and hiding.
Thanks, climate change!

An event to help residents secure their properties against the dangers of flooding will be held in Aberdeen today.
The drop-in session will be held at Culter Village Hall from 3pm to 7pm.
The event will provide information about what flood grants are on offer, and attendees will be able to get advice or arrange home visits with representatives from the city council’s flooding team, as well as the Scottish Flood Forum.
Culter was one of many communities across Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire severely affected by the floods from Storm Frank.
Residents living close to the Culter and Leauchar burns were forced to leave their homes in the storm after the two waterways burst their banks, as extreme rainfall caused havoc across the north-east.
Elsewhere in the community, people staying in the Culter Den, Paddock and Millside areas were also forced to abandon their homes as floodwaters rose.
And the Old Mill Inn in Maryculter was forced to close its doors when it suffering major flood damage after the River Dee broke its banks.

Discovery challenges businesses to mentor the youth and entrepreneurs
The Mentorship with Purpose Masterclass series runs until July 2 2021
Discovery founders Adrian Gore and Barry Swartzberg launched Discovery’s Mentorship with Purpose Masterclass series on Monday, June 28. The series is a global mentorship programme that aims to strengthen leadership capacity in schools, small businesses and civil society.
Swartzberg says: “Through our own corporate sustainability initiatives such as the Discovery Fund and the Employee Volunteer programme, we have seen the tremendous resilience of the people and organisations who have been front-line support in providing primary health care and education. In the changing environment brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic, however, many of these beneficiaries have requested additional support in the form of knowledge sharing, specifically on how to lead in a crisis and how to innovate through a crisis.”
Discovery has organised the five-day programme of masterclasses that brings together global thought leaders. They will provide insight on a range of topics to the recipients of its corporate sustainability initiatives. These classes will later be made available on social media.
Discovery has also challenged mentors from all sectors of business, the public and private sectors to pledge their time towards mentorship in SA and beyond. A Guinness World Record for the highest number of pledges received for mentoring in 24 hours is under way. Swartzberg has called on his counterparts at the JSE top 40 companies to pledge to mentor 100 young people, emerging entrepreneurs and people making changes in the economy. This initiative will run for a year.
Watch the video below:
Mentorship can make the difference SA needs today
At the virtual launch event, Gore said: “Research tells us that mentorship is a fundamental way to transfer skills and it has a huge network effect. Mentorship is not linear — it actually allows organisations to grow and succeed. This transfer of skills is how economic growth happens. We have the skills, at scale, to make mentorship work in SA. I encourage you to pledge your time. You will find it gratifying and make a profound and lasting impact,” he said.
Launch day panel members include Busi Mavuso, CEO of Business Leadership SA; and professor Glenda Gray, the first woman president and CEO of the SA Medical Research Council.
Mavuso said: “The lens through which I engage with mentorship is to be deliberate, particularly in grooming young women in corporate SA. As the incumbent leaders, the ones who come before the young leaders in SA, it is up to us to address the issues that come with corporate roles. For me, it’s to create a mindset shift in young women. It starts at home, in the conversations we have with young girls.
“These can be the biggest barriers for young girls because self-limiting messages become self-fulfilling prophecies. The mind is a powerful instrument. So if you are given messages all your life as a woman to not be too vocal and to not be more successful than a man, those things will trip you up.”
Gray said, “I did have male mentors who noticed a spark in me and it was valuable training, but it’s so important to have female mentors. I’ve tried to do this with women scientists and doctors over the years. It’s been so encouraging and I know my mentees will do greater things and exceed whatever I have done as a scientist. My message to them is to never be scared, to innovate and think on their feet.”
A greater purpose for global business
Discovery’s head of sustainability Ruth Lewin, said: “We all have a role to play in addressing issues of poverty and inequality. Volunteerism through mentorship provides us with an opportunity to address a range of social, economic and environmental challenges.”
Lewin, who is also the board chair of the International Association of Volunteer Effort, a global volunteerism body, says mentorship is an essential part of how business operates in the world today. “Volunteerism is no longer the one-off, feel good, team-building activity which characterised it in the past, but rather an integral value, which is embedded in how business is done — it is not divorced from other business activities. It’s our duty as leaders and experienced individuals to extend our skill sets beyond our businesses.”
The Mentorship with Purpose Masterclass series runs until July 2 2021. Pledge to be a mentor and watch out for highlights from the event on Discovery’s social accounts.
