Ireland Begins Arresting Top Bankers Responsible For 2008 Crash Ireland are following in Iceland’s footsteps by jailing its top bankers responsible for the 2008 financial crash. Following from last year’s mass incarceration of 26 bankers in Iceland, Ireland is going to prosecute the 2005-2008 CEO of Anglo Irish Bank, David Drumm, on 33 criminal charges. Anonhq.com reports: These include two charges of conspiracy to defraud and false accounting relating to €7.2 billion in deposits placed in Anglo Irish Bank accounts by the then Irish Life and Permanent, between March and September 2008. 16 of the 33 charges relate to unlawfully authorizing billions in loans (to be invested back into Anglo Irish Bank) to 16 wealthy investors, in a bid to artificially prop up Anglo Irish Bank’s share price before its December 2008 collapse. Each of the 33 offenses carries a 5 or 10 year jail term, except for a single count of conspiracy to defraud, which has a maximum penalty of an “unlimited term of imprisonment” under Irish law.
Would you take a dip 35 metres up in London's first 'sky pool'? For anyone wishing to make a high-level splash, London’s latest planned addition to the skyline could be just the thing. A 25-metre swimming pool suspended between two apartment blocks 10 storeys up is part of a new development near the former Battersea power station. The transparent “sky pool” will, the developers say, be the first of its kind in the world. Swimmers will be able to look down 35 metres to the world below as they take a dip, with only 20cm of glass between them and the outside world.
Jung memorably wrote that “the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” / Legendary Swiss psychiatrist Carl Gustav Jung (July 26, 1875–June 6, 1961), along with his frenemy Freud, is considered the founding father of modern analytical psychology. He coined the concepts of collective consciousness and introverted vs. extroverted personality, providing the foundation for the popular Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. Though famously accused of having lost his soul, Jung had a much more heartening view of human nature than Freud and memorably wrote that “the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being.” On October 22 of 1959, BBC’s Face to Face — an unusual series of pointed, almost interrogative interviews seeking to “unmask public figures” — aired a segment on Jung, included in the 1977 anthology C.G. Jung Speaking: Interviews and Encounters (public library).
Jacarandas: You either love them or hate them The jacaranda is a striking but polarizing piece of the Southern California streetscape. "They're pretty, but sticky. If they get on your car it's like getting married all over again when you drive off," one Mar Vista resident told The Times in 2005, summarizing the love-hate relationship. GRAPHIC: Your ultimate guide to the jacaranda Here's a brief history of the debate from The Times' archives. Lovers 6 Reasons Empaths Freeze Around Inauthentic People - The Minds Journal When an Empath comes across fake people it is common for them to shut down as a form of protection. This can be seen as stumbling over words or one’s memory and thought process being affected. Anyone who is not emanating truthful vibes will put an Empath on high alert. In my days as a hairdresser, I could never understand why when I was with certain clients, who came across lovely, I would get awful feelings inside. It was only when I discovered I was an Empath that it all made sense to me. I was feeling their pain that they were hiding in fake behavior.
One Day Later, Anonymous Already Takes Down 3,824 Pro-ISIS Twitter Accounts One day after declaring war on ISIS members, Anonymous has already managed to take down over 3,800 Twitter accounts linked to various ISIS members and associates. The hacktivism group quickly got its business together, created an official Twitter account for the whole #OpParis operation, and a new website where to centralize all ISIS accounts. Besides scanning for ISIS Twitter accounts themselves, the hacking group has also opened access to the site to those interested. Anyone who comes across ISIS social media accounts can easily search the database and report any new terrorists and supporters.
Elephant Brings Her New Baby To Visit The People Who Saved Her Life - The Dodo Just hours after giving birth, Wendi brought her calf to DSWT for a visit. Touched by Wendi's visit, DSWT staff sound just like proud family members. "We believe she gave birth during the night - and visited us just hours later!" "As elephant numbers continue to plummet across the continent, Wendi's new daughter gives up hope for the future of the species, who haven't given up hope yet," DSWT told The Dodo. "We'll continue to work hard to keep this new family safe from poaching, human wildlife conflict and habitat destruction through our DSWT/KWS Anti-Poaching Teams and are blessed that she shared this special glimpse with us just hours after the birth of her daughter!"
Tiny Wisdom: What Is Truly Great “To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.” -Charles de Montesquieu There is a very specific type of post I look for when reading guest contributions. It’s not expert advice, though clearly it helps to have a thorough knowledge of a topic. It’s not beautiful prose, though obviously it’s enjoyable to receive a post that reads like poetry. What I look for is bravery in honesty. Course on the Healing Power of the Placebo – Jung Platform This is a fascinating course on the core question in therapeutics and that is what triggers the innate healing response. The question of how the placebo works, and why it works, has never been scientifically explored as rigorously as it has been by Jungian Analyst Richard Kradin. Dr. Kradin will share his findings on the healing power of the placebo. He will discuss the scientifically proven mind/body connection demonstrated by placebos, and look at the ways they can enhance or retard medicinal and mental health therapy.
iPad Experience: Can the iPad replace ebook readers? One of the first things I did when my iPad arrived was load up the iBooks and Amazon Kindle applications. I then saw yesterday that Kobo launched their ebook application and am now just waiting to see an iPad-optimized Barnes & Noble eReader client appear. I have a B&N nook and Sony Reader 505 (the old one), but have to honestly say the iPad may have turned these into devices to give away to family and friends. The major strengths of the iPad are the multiple client support and integrated, controllable backlight while the weaknesses are the lack of eInk, lack of Adobe Digital Editions support (for those free library books), and weight in your hand compared to dedicated ebook devices. I captured screenshots of the three ebook applications currently on my iPad starting on this page of the iPad Experience Series image gallery and present you with some thoughts on these three below.
Centrelink is designed to fail the most vulnerable The emails are heart-breaking. People, young and old, responding to the story of Julia Gilchrist, a successful young woman who has had trouble holding down a job because she is profoundly deaf, but has been told she is “not disabled enough” by Centrelink to qualify for disability support. There is the mother fielding job application phone calls for a deaf son who was made redundant a month ago. The Book Of Awakening: How Does It Taste? The more spacious and larger our fundamental nature, the more bearable the pains in living. — Wayne Muller An aging Hindu master grew tired of his apprentice complaining, and so, one morning, sent him for some salt. When the apprentice returned, the master instructed the unhappy young man to put a handful of salt in a glass of water, and then to drink it. “How does it taste?” the master asked. “Bitter,” spit the apprentice.
