Nokia is not going to abandon its legacy Symbian mobile operating system anytime soon, or at least not till 2014, the company revealed.
Chris Carr, the managing director of Nokia Australia said that due to contractual obligations the company will continue supporting Symbian phones currently on the market until two years after their launch date. He also said that Nokia will continue with the production of its new Symbian phones at least until 2012.
"There's still a lot of ongoing development with Symbian, the two will co-exist. We've invested a lot of money in Symbian," said Carr. "It's not unusual in the industry to have multiple OS strategies," he continued, according to reporters in Australia (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/australian-it/exec-tech/nokia-to-support-symbian-into-2014/story-e6frgazf-1226039140467).
In February the company made a deal with Microsoft to power its phones with Windows 7 OS from 2012 onwards, though Carr also pointed out that Nokia had no intention of tying itself exclusively to the Redmond-based tech giant.
Advantages of the deal are already showing as Nokia decided to adopt an upgraded MS Exchange Server Client and Communicator for its new businesses. Nokia's use of the Symbian operating system has been blamed by many as the reason it has lost mobile marketshare.

Rather, the combatants come from bomb-making terrorist groups like

They all feature network forms of organization, doctrine, strategy,

The Government's announcement that it would legislate efforts requiring companies to use sustainable resources in packaging and to reduce packaging waste within the next three to five years was inevitable. After the dismal results after almost a decade of trying to persuade firms to do so voluntarily, push had to come to shove. Last year, the reduction was less than 1 per cent of the annual amount of packaging waste which accounts for a chunk (one third) of the waste Singaporeans produce. Legislation is timely because such wastage is easier to tackle once the right policy is in place compared, for instance, to reducing wastage caused by human consumption.
The Government is also right to start with the easier target: producers. Currently, cost-efficiency encourages wastage. When firms need not bear the cost of disposing packaging waste, most plan their packaging for one-time usage rather than for repeats. Legislation should nudge firms towards re-using and recycling their packaging, which can trigger significant reductions in wastage. Incentives, especially for smaller, cost-sensitive firms, can help spur moves in this direction.
But legislation as the mandatory arm of policy is half the answer. The harder part is to convince consumers to take personal ownership of packaging waste reduction and to build a culture of collective responsibility. Education and publicity are vital tools. But as the nation's record in crafting an anti-litter attitude has shown, incentivising consumers for acting responsibly and disincentivising them when they don't are measures one must also consider adopting.
It will take time before firms and consumers replace the current use-and-dispose practices with a virtuous cycle - a green and sustainable economy where people re-use and recycle things habitually and reduce wastage to its very least. The quicker citizens make a start, the better.

ORANGE – It's "graduation day" for students who are in the country illegally and who say they want a pathway to residency and a chance for a better life.
Up to 100 illegal immigrant college students in Orange County will join the expected hundreds of others across the countryscheduled to walk in mock graduation ceremonies today, organizers say.
"It's in solidarity to support the plight of undocumented students," said Alexis Nava, a member of the Orange County Dream Team, who helped coordinate today's ceremony. "It's a mock graduation to be symbolic, recognition of what students face once they graduate."
The 6 p.m. ceremony in Orange is intended to support the DREAM Act, which would allow undocumented students to apply for legal permanent resident status, protect them from deportation and make them eligible for student loans and federal work study programs.
Students from Cal State Fullerton, Santa Ana College, University of California, Irvine and other nearby higher-education institutions plan to wear caps and gowns and signs – some reading "What now?"
Some students find themselves without jobs after college due to their legal status, supporters of the bill have said
The Orange County Dream Team is one of several organizations to schedule ceremonies today in Arizona, Los Angeles, North Carolina and the largest in Washington, D.C.The local ceremony will be held at the Teamsters Local 952 Hall in Orange.
The measure faces strong opposition from critics who say the proposed law would reward illegal behavior.
The proposed federal legislation – introduced by Sens. Richard Durbin of Illinois and Richard Lugar of Indiana and Reps. Howard Berman of California and Lincoln Diaz-Balart of Florida – has been around since 2000 but has faced opposition and defeat in the past.
All local Congress members except for Rep. Loretta Sanchez oppose the measureand say they'd vote it down if it were to reach the floor.
The bill would let illegal-immigrant students who finish at least two years of college or military service apply for legal status. Students would need to have lived here at least five years and have arrived before they were 16.
Supporters say the bill will not likely be introduced again as a stand-alone piece of legislation. Instead the proposed law will most likely become part of a comprehensive immigration reform package that could be introduced as early as fall of this year.
A poll of Orange County Register online readersfound that 78 percent of readers who responded opposed the DREAM Act.

Wayne Smith's Sept. 13 column calling it a shame that Bush rejected of Cuba's offer to send over 1,000 doctors and medical supplies to New Orleans fails to note that Cuba has repeatedly rejected similar offers by the United States when hurricanes and other catastrophes have afflicted that island.
It would be ludicrous to accept such help while Cuba suffers an immense deprivation of medical and other human services. The whole of Cuba can be considered a disaster area. Exporting doctors for political reasons while its own population cannot be taken care of is not acceptable. In addition, there are in New Orleans ample medical resources to take care of the victims of Katrina.
Accepting Cuba's help would expose the United States to a host of other problems. Cuba's medical expertise is highly questionable. Talking to some Cuban refugees, I have learned that the quality of medical care in Cuba leaves a lot to be desired. One Cuban lady showed me atrocious scars on one arm resulting from an operation performed in Cuba by one such "doctor," whom she referred to as nothing but a butcher.
We have no mechanism to ascertain whether these doctors would be qualified to practice medicine in the United States. Allowing such individuals to provide medical care here would expose our government to serious medical malpractice problems.
And lastly, we cannot ignore that allowing 1,500 Cuban nationals to come to our shores will certainly result in massive defections. There is not a doubt in my mind that most of them would certainly seek asylum, which may have to be granted under our misguided wet foot/dry foot policy.
Yes, President Bush was 100 percent right in turning down Cuba's devious offer.

This summer about half a million students sat the reformed GCSE exams. Following months of uncertainty and speculation about the content and difficulty of these exams, with reports on the rise in stress, anxiety and other mental health issues experienced by pupils as a result of the changes to the curriculum, results are nearly in.
The new GCSEs, introduced by former Education Secretary Michael Gove in 2014 following claims of the GCSE curriculum being 'dumbed down' and that grades were being inflated, are designed to be more challenging and rigorous. There will be a new grading scale of 9-1 (rather than the old A*-G) to reflect this with this new grading system being said to offer more differentiation than the previous grading. Gone are modular assessments and in their place more exam-, rather than coursework, based assessments that are taken at the end of a two year course. The content is more demanding and there are far fewer resit opportunities.
The new GCSEs, claimed by Gove to be "gold standard" and "more fulfilling", have inevitably posed challenges for students and educators alike. Many schools are now opting to start teaching the GCSE curriculum early to deal with the more difficult exam papers and best prepare students for what lies ahead. However teachers have voiced concerns about the new content being opaque and the teaching guidelines too vague. There have also been concerns relating to the KS3 syllabus being "watered down" due to students starting the GCSE syllabus early, often at the beginning of year 9. Chief Ofsted inspector Amanda Spielman has argued that this may lead to students missing out on a rich and varied curriculum due to merely being taught to pass exams.
Whilst that concern is certainly valid, here at BYT St Albans we have been speaking to students and teachers about their experiences and it has become very clear that most feel that the jump from KS3 to GCSEs is too high, particularly with the new challenging exams. Students often feel the expectations and content taught in year 10 are far beyond what they have familiarised themselves with in earlier years and this is often a shock to the system.
With this in mind BYT St Albans have recently introduced a new class to help bridge this gap between KS3 and GCSEs. Our 'Pre GCSE' class is specifically designed for students in year 9 who want to start building the skills needed for GCSEs, and is offered in English, maths and science. As a tuition centre we feel uniquely placed to help students with the challenges faced by the recent curriculum changes. Classes are small, which allows for tuition that is tailored to the individual, and our timetable is flexible so that students can fit their study with us around school. We don't believe in 'hot-housing' students to pass specific exams and feel that the best results are gained by building skills and confidence over time. We feel that our Pre GCSE classes offer just that, a chance for students to gain critical thinking, analytical and problem solving skills particularly geared towards the GCSEs which will offer students a solid foundation from which to move in to year 10 and 11.
For more information about this class or to discuss how we can help have a look on our website or give us a call on 01727 260 239.

New York sits comfortably in the northeastern United States, and while it is known for the international city of the same name, there is so much to this state. In addition to busy, hectic atmospheres of New York City and Buffalo, the more subdued places like Syracuse have contributed to the whole state being a hodgepodge of the country, city, and everything in between.
For this reason, when looking for office space, you can find a diverse array of options and pricing all depending on the location. In the smaller spaces, you can find reasonable office spaces, but the closer you move into metropolitan locations the price, just like with other real estates, rises. Regardless of the location, the commercial real estate market is so mixed that there is something for every budget, and if you are looking for inexpensive, coworking spaces can be the answer for your budget and mission.
Keep reading to learn more about how a coworking space can help your business in New York City grow.
A Few Degrees Of Separation
One of the main reasons coworking is so popular is because it is a platform for networking. Typically, spaces are organised for social interaction, and even some of the more corporate spaces, have space for both work and socialising. When choosing a coworking space in New York – Servcorp, for example – is a great model of the way these spaces have evolved to include both workspace and social space.
This works for your business because these interactions at the hot desk or while collaborating can be access to other opportunities in the coworking space or the community. If working in NYC, getting plugged into conversations that can be a bridge for collaborative efforts can be a way to raise your business's profile. Ultimately, one reason the coworking space can give your business traction is that it really is a place where people are connected by a few people through a few degrees of separation.
Let's Do Lunch
Another reason that coworking space can be a platform for success is that the scene has managed to bring a new twist to the idea. Yep, the coworking restaurant is a place where people can both work and eat. Eating is a very social thing, and because there is a platform for socialising in the coworking space, the only natural thing would be to combine the two concepts.
In the end, what these coworking spaces have come up with is a place where work and conversation can take place. In fact, in a place where people often meet over lunch, this type of coworking space fits the bill because it is a place where working combined with a pleasurable dining experience can be the platform for partnership.
In The Fast Lane
One other great way that owners can move their business into overdrive is by taking advantage of the many incubator and accelerator programs available. These programs can help teach start-ups how to navigate the business environment through mentorship programs led by experts in the industry. There a great value for businesses who need help getting plugged into the right groups who can help them with their venture. Just in terms of providing businesses with a way to quickly plug them into the right circles, these programs are the best ways to create growth and quickly.
Finding Your Niche
Meeting people can be easy. In the business context, meeting people who can help you grow your business might be a little more work. However, the coworking space in some the coolest settings can set the stage for your business to grow. More importantly, it can be a place of visibility and industry.

The pope addressed leaders of some of the world's major energy companies on Saturday, at a closed-doors climate change conference in the Vatican. "Civilisation requires energy but energy use must not destroy civilisation," he told the group. Pope Francis has long shown a special interest in combating climate change, which he called a challenge of "epochal proportions" on Saturday. In 2015, he devoted his second encyclical on calling for policies to reduce emissions of polluting gases. Before the two-day conference, titled Energy Transition and Care for Our Common Home, a Vatican source told Reuters news agency that the heads or senior executives of companies including ExxonMobil, Eni, BP, Royal Dutch Shell, Equinor (formerly known as Statoil) and Pemex were expected to attend along with investors. "We know that the challenges facing us are interconnected. If we are to eliminate poverty and hunger ... the more than one billion people without electricity today need to gain access to it," the pope told them. "But that energy should also be clean, by a reduction in the systematic use of fossil fuels. Our desire to ensure energy for all must not lead to the undesired effect of a spiral of extreme climate changes due to a catastrophic rise in global temperatures, harsher environments and increased levels of poverty." The International Energy Agency (IEA) has said that global energy demand rise will grow 30 percent by 2040. In 2015, 18 percent of global final energy consumption came from renewable sources according to the agency. SOURCE: Al Jazeera and news agencies Climate SOS Religion Europe Global Warming

NPA rebels seize equipment owned by agribusiness firms in Davao City
DAVAO CITY — Dozens of communist rebels hijacked three pieces of heavy equipment owned by two agribusiness firms in a hinterland village here on Saturday, the police said.
Senior Insp. Ma. Teresita Gaspan, the spokesperson of the Davao City Police Office, said about 30 New People's Army (NPA) rebels forcibly took control of two boomtruck sprayers owned by Japanese banana firm Sumitumo Fruits Corp. (Sumifru) and another boom-type sprayer truck owned by Tristar Company in Barangay Manuel Guianga in Tugbok district.
The trucks were traveling toward Barangay Tamayong in the adjacent district of Calinan when the rebels seized them at around 7:30 a.m., Gaspan said.
No details as to the condition of the drivers were given by the police spokesperson, however.
She said police and Army units had already conducted checkpoints and also launched an operation to locate the seized equipment.
Agribusiness companies, particularly the Japanese-owned banana firm, had been regularly subjected to attacks by the NPA, with guerrillas burning vehicles, equipment and chopping down banana trees for the companies' refusal to heed the rebels' extortion demands, authorities said. /atm

The behavior of some mechanical systems is identical to that of certain electrical systems. Therefore, we can have an unified modeling approach when dealing with mechanical and electrical system modeling.
Mechanical and electrical lumped parameters systems can be modeled with basic elements. These elements are: the inertial element, the compliant element and the resistive element.
As the name suggests, the inertial element is contained in systems with inertia. Mechanical, electrical, hydrodinamic and thermal systems have inertia. The property of inertia is to resist change of current state (e.g. velocity).
Mechanical systems
An example of inertial element is a moving (translational or rotational) body. If a force F is applied to a rigid body with mass m, it will start to move with a velocity v.
The force applied to the mass is equal with the derivative of the translational momentum pt.\[F = \frac{dp_t}{dt}\]
The translational momentum is the product between the mass m and the velocity v.\[p_t = m \cdot v\]
With x being the position of the body, v the velocity and a the acceleration, we can write the mathematical relation of the force F and mass m.\[F = m \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = m \frac{dv}{dt} = m a \tag{1}\]
The same approach can be applied to a rotational rigid body with a moment of inertia J. If we apply a torque T to the body, it will start to rotate with the angular velocity ω.
The torque applied to the moment of inertia is equal with the derivative of the rotational momentum pr.\[T = \frac{dp_r}{dt}\]
The rotational momentum is the product between the moment of inertia J and the angular velocity ω.\[p_r = J \cdot \omega\]
With α being the angular position of the body, ω the angular velocity and ε the angular acceleration, we can write the mathematical relation of the torque T and moment of inertia J.\[T = J \frac{d^2 \alpha}{dt^2} = J \frac{d \omega}{dt} = J \epsilon \tag{2}\]
The kinetic energy E [J] stored in an element with mass or inertia is equal to:\[E = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}J \omega^2\]
Electrical systems
Looking into electrical systems we can also identify the inertial element.
An electrical circuit with an inductor is characterized by an inductance L, a current i and a voltage drop across the inductor UL.
The equivalent electrical parameter for the momentum is the flux linkage λ.\[\lambda = L \cdot i\]
The voltage drop on the inductor is equal to the derivative of the flux linkage.\[U_L =\frac{d \lambda}{dt}\]
In the electrical domain the inertial element is the inductance. With q being the charge, i the electric current and di/dt the variation in time of the electric current, we can write the mathematical relation of the voltage drop UL and inductance L.\[U_L = L \frac{d^2 q}{dt^2} =L \frac{di}{dt} \tag{3}\]
By analogy, the energy stored in an inductor E [J] is equal to:\[E = \frac{1}{2}L i^2\]
We can now write an equivalency table between the mechanical (translational and rotational) and electrical system for the inertial element.
|Force, F
|Torque, T
|Voltage, UL
|Linear acceleration, a
|Angular acceleration, ε
|Current variation, di/dt
|Linear velocity, v
|Angular velocity, ω
|Electrical current, i
|Linear position, x
|Angular position, α
|Electrical charge, q
|Mass, m
|Moment of inertia, J
|Inductance, L
If we look at the relationships of force (1), torque (2) and voltage (3), we can see that the inertia acts as a slope of the linear dependencies.
For a better understanding of the behavior of the inertial element in a dynamic system, we are going to use a Xcos block diagram in which we integrate the differential equation of the translational body (1).
In this example we consider the force as being constant. The initial conditions of the position and velocity are
0. The simulation results are stored in a structured variable
By using a post-processing Scilab script, we plot the force, speed and position for the translational rigid body.
clc() subplot(3,1,3) plot(simOut.time,simOut.values(:,1)), xgrid() ylabel('F [N]') xlabel('t [s]') subplot(3,1,2) plot(simOut.time,simOut.values(:,2)), xgrid() ylabel('v [m/s]') subplot(3,1,1) plot(simOut.time,simOut.values(:,3)), xgrid() ylabel('x [m]')
Running the Scilab script will output the following graphical window:
By analyzing the above plot we can notice that the velocity accumulates over time, it does not have sudden value changes. Also the higher the mass, the higher the inertia, the "harder" to change the position of the rigid body, for the same input force.
Now we'll analyze the impact of a sudden force change on the behavior of the system. For this we use the same Xcos model, the only difference being the input force, which will change in time.
Running the Xcos model and the post-processing Scilab script gives the following graphical window:
When there is a "step" change of the input force, the velocity changes continuously, without steep variations. When the input force is
0, the acceleration is
0, the velocity is constant and the position changes after a linear law (between seconds
4 and
In a dynamic system with inertia, we can not impose steep variations of the speed or electrical current. Their value changes over time, depending of the value of the input force or voltage.
Remember that any dynamic system with mass, moment of inertia or inductance has inertia.

I Can't Afford My Car Payment!
January 10, 2014 2 Comments
Image courtesy of Rachel Titiriga
Purchasing a new vehicle is a very exciting event for anyone. For most, it is a decision that's made after months and months of planning, saving and waiting for just the right deal. Even so, every year there are a number of consumers who have realized only in hindsight that they really cannot afford a new car.
The reasons for this include but are not limited to: job loss, demotions, divorce, surprise or emergency expenses, unexpected medical conditions, the decision to buy a home or other changes in life circumstances. Whatever the reason(s), the realization that you can no longer afford to make your car payment can be overwhelming and scary. If you've found yourself in this position – you do have a few options, but you may not know which one will give you the best results.
Should you stop making your car payments? Giving your car back to the dealership and not owing them any money would be ideal. Unfortunately, it's just not that simple. Once you have agreed to purchase the car and have signed your name to a loan agreement, you are legally obligated to keep the loan current. Returning the vehicle to the dealer or lender is an option; however, the act will be reported to credit agencies as a repossession and will put a black mark on your credit report. The car will be sold for much less than you owe on the loan, with you left holding the bag for the difference.
If the deficiency (the amount still owed on the vehicle) isn't paid, the lender will likely sue you for the money. If you feel that surrendering the vehicle to the lender is your best bet, attempt to work with the lender ahead of time to arrange for a reduction or complete waiver of the deficiency amount. Otherwise, you'll end up with a repossession on your credit report, a lawsuit against you, and you'll still owe money on the car that you no longer have.
Should you trade in the car for something less expensive? Communicating with the dealership about your difficulty with the payments may work in your favor. All dealers want your business and loyalty. Explain that you had a significant change of circumstance and asked to trade in your current vehicle for something less expensive. Another similar option would be to work with your lender or dealership to refinance the life of the loan or the interest-rate on the car you currently have – potentially lowering your monthly payments into a range that is affordable.
Should you sell the car yourself? This is a good solution if you can manage to sell your vehicle for at least the amount that you still owe on the loan. This would allow you to pay off the loan and hopefully purchase a much less expensive pre-owned vehicle, or to look into the public transportation options in your area.
Should you file for bankruptcy? By surrendering your vehicle in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you would be able to forfeit any and all responsibility for the deficiency amount. This is the only solution that will absolve you of paying for the loan and any deficiency after it is re-sold. There will be a mark on your credit, but unlike some other options, you won't be making anymore payments.
The most important thing to remember when making a significant decision such as this, is to speak with a reputable New Jersey bankruptcy lawyer, especially if you are seriously considering filing for bankruptcy. Hiring an experienced bankruptcy attorney will pay for itself with the money you'll save once your debts are discharged. He'll also show you how to get your finances back on track and how to keep them that way.

At one time, Sacramento was the world's largest hop growing region. After Prohibition, a focus on quantity (i.e. yield per acre) led to the rise of the Pacific Northwest as the nation's leading hop region. Yet California remains the best place to grow any crop in the world, including hops. Together with the pioneering farmers listed below, Ruhstaller is reclaiming our region's identity as a producer of high quality Sacramento hops grown in the heart of California's mighty Central Valley.
Hop Farmers
Dave & Dia Utterback
Farm Name: Utterback Farm
Location: Sloughhouse, Sacramento
Hop Varieties: GrassHop'r, Cascade, Nugget
Found in: Hop Sac, Utterback IPA, Bale 21
The Signorotti family ran the last commercial hop farm in the Sacramento area in Sloughouse off the Jackson Highway. Today Dave & Dia Utterback live on the former Signorotti homestead and continue to farm and harvest the abundant Signorotti family hops that grow around their home. Ruhstaller took great honor in purchasing the Utterback's entire crop in 2013 to use in Hop Sac Flight, a special 4-pack featuring hop-yard-specific beers from four small hop farms in the Sacramento region. We have since been growing with them and harvesting their hops which have been used in Hop Sac for the last 3 years, in Utterback IPA, and Bale 21.
Calen Lang
Farm Name: Lang Farms
Location: Elkhorn Slough, West Sacramento
Hop Varieties: Yolo Gold
Found in: Lang IPA
Lang Farms is nestled on a bend of the American River and was a large Hop Farm before the Lang family purchased the land to grow walnuts in the 1960s. When Calen discovered these funny green buds growing in the ditches he decided to try his hand at growing hops. Calen has been growing hops with us for about three years now. He started off primarily as a walnut farmer but he loves growing everything from persimmons (Barn Owl), peppers (Nighthawk), hops and even peaches (hmm, perhaps…?).
Farm Name: Ruhstaller Farm & Yard
Location: Dixon, California
Hop varieties: Cascade, Nugget, Chinook, Centennial
Found In: Hop Sac First Leaf 2013, Hop Sac Flight 2013, Nugget Ale (releases April 2014)
The Ruhstaller Farm & Yard was founded in 2013 to grow high quality Sacramento ingredients for our beers. Together with the pioneer Sacramento farmers listed above, we are carrying on the Sacramento region's heritage of hop growing. In 2014 we expanded our 1 acre hop farm to nearly 8 acres. Together with the Utterbacks and Langs we grow enough hops for all of our beers…only 5% of the hops we use are not grown by us because they are patented varieties. When you enjoy a pint of Ruhstaller, you are enjoying the flavor of Sacramento's hops.

I can't seem to kill houseplants. Most of the time, it's a good thing. I treat each plant with TLC, ensuring the proper pot size, location, water needs and the occasional fertilizer. Once a plant finds the perfect corner of my abode, it thrives for years and years.
Back in 1988 I purchased two asparagus ferns from the local Woolworth Garden Center. They were a bargain at seventy-nine cents each. I planted them together in one pot and kept them next to my bed in my tiny apartment. Plants were always my favorite way to decorate. Unlike nick-knacks, plants change and grow. And grow they did. Eventually I split them up, and had two plants for my apartment. Two years later I moved in with my sister and the plants came too. Six weeks after the move, the Bay Area experienced a 7.1 earthquake. The jolt of the quake flipped a mirror off of my bathroom wall, cleared the entire counter of its contents, including potted plants, and landed unbroken on the floor. We had little damage, but spent a few days cleaning up the various messes it created, scooping up potting soil, broken containers and the like. The ferns survived. They moved back to Campbell for five years, and then joined me in Fremont as a newlywed. By then the plants were quite large and had developed spiky thorns. We eventually settled in San Jose where we started a family and those ferns, long past the house-plant stage, now live a contented life along the back fence.
Two years ago a Poinsettia came to live with us, a gift from someone who mostly took from our lives. The plant was a beautiful specimen, grown as a standard instead of a shrub. It spent some time on the kitchen counter, later moving to the living room as the seasons changed and it needed more indirect light. Ironically, as the plant thrived, the awkward relationship stumbled, fell, limped along and finally, ended. The end of the relationship was dramatic and ugly, but necessary for the mental health of me and my family.
Without tricking a Poinsettia into thinking it's been through a cool, dark winter, they gradually lose their scarlet red bracts. The tiny flowers also come and go, but through all of this, our plant remained healthy. I tossed out the glittery holiday-themed pot, moved the plant back to the kitchen, and there it continues to thrive. My family comments on the plant from time to time, aware of its giver and the frenzied drama that swirled around us. It's a marvel the plant has survived.
Unlike the ferns that developed thorns to survive, the poinsettia lost its brilliant color as it dropped each scarlet red bract. It has become a healthy, green and otherwise unspectacular plant, a contrary reminder of a turbulent time.

In the US: Tuesdays, 9/8c, TNT. Starts tonight
Sometimes, I'm surprised there's any scripted British TV at all. Who's starring in it, given that virtually every actor in the UK seems to have nipped off to the US to try their chances at having a well-paid career for a change. Hell, even Jeff from Coupling gets to be a an ex-Russian special forces soldier over there; here, he'd be some doctor in a low-key BBC Two drama or something.
So widespread is this problem that even the cast of Downton Abbey are heading stateside. Dan Stevens has been paving the way for the others for some time but now Michelle Dockery's there.
What's stranger than their managing to get jobs is the kind of jobs they're getting. Stevens has already been voicing a supercomputer in The Tomorrow People but now he's going to be a TV X-Man in FX's Legion. Meanwhile, Dockery is in a new TNT show starting tonight that she has no right to be the lead in whatsoever, you'd have thought.
Based on Blake Crouch (Wayward Pines)'s Letty Dobesh Chronicles, Good Behavior sees Dockery unexpectedly playing the books' titular former con and conwoman, a drug addict who's just been let out of jail and working in a dead-end job in roadside café. When she gets fired, she returns to her life of burglary and confidence tricks, but when she overhears two men planning a hit against a woman, she decides to do something nice and save her.
No good deed goes unpunished, of course, and just as she's about to end the pain with a bucketload of drugs, sexy Juan Diego Botto turns up with an offer she can't refuse.
Read that description of the plot and tell me your first thought is "Hmm, maybe that Lady Mary from Downton Abbey would be good for the job?" Ridiculous, isn't it?
Yet, surprisingly, Dockery ain't half bad. True, she spends a lot of her time in her undies or implausible wigs, which might distract the viewer from her performance a tad. But she does well with what she's got and is persuasive, as is Botto.
The problem isn't with them, though – it's with the source material. While it's not stupid, it's very much a piece of male gaze. Dockery's character is a typical male fantasy – a bad girl with a heart of gold, who naturally does everything for the love of her daughter and her mother, rather than because she's properly trailer trash, properly criminal or every bit the sneaky equal of Botto. Dockery's also expected to be both put-upon victim and top con artiste, but trying to be plausibly crushed underfoot by life yet strong willed is a squaring of the circle that would be hard for anyone to attempt even unbewigged.
So little does any of this hold together that I honestly thought I'd missed bits. Wait… she was a waitress cleaning the toilets a minute ago. How is she now burgling top end hotels with her phone buddy? Was it something to do with that wallet she stole? But he can't have had any money, surely. What did I miss?
Nope. Didn't miss anything.
If anything, Good Behavior shows that if you get a good cast together and shoot something in a noirish way, it's almost enough to fool the viewer into thinking a quality piece of work is being produced. But like sister show Animal Kingdom, Good Behavior also demonstrates the vital importance of something actually making sense, if it's going to aspire to darkness-tinged mimesis.

There Are 10 Things You Should Never Do On Social Media. Number 5 Made Me Cry Into My Cereal… And You Won't Believe What Happened Next.
We could all find friends, relatives and indeed brands that we follow on social channels who sometimes post or share content we find, frankly, reprehensible. In fact, we've likely unfollowed someone based on an unforgiveable blunder (or many). And we've probably made some ourselves, either personally or for our brands.
Lightspeed conducted a survey to uncover the types of social media post MOST likely to rile up your followers.
1. Fake news stories – 56%
2. Ads you have to click past – 46%
3. Chain posts forcing you to share – 42%
4. Ads where the sound comes on without warning – 41%
5. Public displays of affection (I love you soooooo oooooooh much, you're the best husband in the world, etc.) – 40%
6. Repetitive posts – 38%
7. Duck face selfies – 34%
8. Airing dirty laundry – 34%
9. Fake outrage – 34%
10. Clickbait – 33%
So how can brands and human beings alike can avoid these pitfalls to stay relevant, engaging and loved?
The number one result was #FakeNews – whether it's on Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn, it's becoming harder to distinguish truth from fact, and the UK public's trust in social media has plummeted – our Trust in News study from the end of last year showed that just 28.9% of people trusted social media as news source (compared to 74.8% for 24-hour news channels, for example).
Hearteningly, more than three quarters of news consumers in that study claim to have independently fact-checked a story to verify it, while 70% have reconsidered sharing an article – worried that it might be fake. On the flip side, 15.3% of UK news consumers admit to sharing a story after reading only the headline.
Facebook recently announced changes to its newsfeed that would help combat the rise of fake news, saying it will show fewer posts from publishers, and those it does show will be ranked according to how trustworthy they are perceived to be by users. Users, in turn, get to rate stories they see to help Facebook make these tricky assessments.
But will real news suppliers be negatively impacted? Genuine publishers are relying on the platform to bring traffic to their sites, and unless a friend or family member actively shares a story, users are unlikely to see it. As a brand, you will need to be very careful not only in what you write, but in what you share on social channels, and where you advertise – one fake story (or association with one) can be very damaging to your reputation.
Annoying adverts
It *is* frustrating when you are forced to watch an advert before you can get on with scrolling through your feeds, or when a brand's theme tune blasts announced from your speakers. But that's not because people hate ads altogether – it's just about control. Gen Z (Centennials) in particular have been found to crave more control when it comes to things like advertising, data privacy, and protecting personal data on social media. According to Kantar Media TGI data, those between 18 and 24 years old are 22% more likely than the average UK adult to use ad blockers.
The Kantar Millward Brown report AdReaction found that younger consumers (especially Gen Z) like control over online advertising, whether it's having the ability to skip, vote, interact, or choosing whether to enable sound. They don't like formats which offer no control over the experience.
Jane Ostler, Kantar Millward Brown: 'People watch online video without sound up to 85% of the time, according to various publisher sources. This raises some creative challenges for advertisers who use online video on PCs or mobile devices as part of a campaign. With the sound off, all the audio cues that we know are generally effective in TV – such as voiceovers, music, and brand mnemonics (like the Intel one), are not able to be utilised as vehicles to aid brand communication. This has significant impact for creative development.'
Subtitles become a vital part of the communication. A 2016 Kantar Millward Brown study for AdColony (the online video distribution network) comparing two versions of a sound-off video – one with subtitles, one without – proved that brand impact and comprehension was better with subtitles.
Ostler notes that keeping these videos simple is crucial. 'Without sound, communication is even more of a challenge, which means that all the other visual stimuli need to be simple and clear, with visible and recognisable brand elements. And the smaller the screen, the simpler it needs to be.'
The oversharer and overposter
The public seem to be rather unforgiving when it comes to oversharing, with both public displays of affection and public displays of anger making it into the top ten. Repetitive posts also feature in the list, thankfully just the once, so maybe we are just reaching content overload?
It's annoying enough when Uncle Geoffrey decides to do a daily poll about his sandwiches, or you get a daily update on the wedding countdown (yup, it's one day closer… again) but when brands get repetitive, it can be really bad news not only for their engagement rates but also brand image.
On the flip side, it's worth posting frequently enough that people still see your content – those pesky algorithms eschew chronology, so don't expect that a monthly update to your fans will be enough.
As much as we promote the merits of 'authenticity' (and a recent Kantar Millward Brown study revealed that the brands using the most 'human' language on their own Instagram/Facebook sites perform best when it comes to brand-building through social advertising), there is clearly a limit: we don't need to see the dirty laundry.
And, as indicated by the inclusion of 'fake outrage' in our top ten, brands would be wise not to confuse being 'authentic' with simply sharing cause-based content or Tweeting their sympathies about global events. If it doesn't link to your brand purpose, it might be wiser to stick with clickbait.
