New cabinet deal on health insurance, mortgages, child refugees

Friday 26 October 2012

The pending new Liberal-Labour government plans to scrap payments to help low-income households pay for health insurance from 2014, sources close to the cabinet formation talks said on Friday afternoon.

Health insurance benefit ? a maximum of ?70 per person ? will disappear as part of a shake-up in the way health insurance is paid for. The new coalition plans to introduce an income-dependent element to the fees, removing the need for extra cash.

Scrapping the benefit will raise ?4.5bn, all of which will be given back to households in the form of lower taxes. The new coalition plans to cut the 42% tax rate to 38%. Some five million people currently get health insurance benefit.

VVD leader Mark Rutte and Labour's Diederik Samsom have refused to comment on the leaks.

Mortgage tax relief

Earlier on Friday it emerged the two parties are planning to phase out the tax break on mortgages in phases of 0.5% a year. This means within 28 years the maximum break will have been cut from 52% to 38%, RTL news reported.

The right-wing VVD and Labour party have been in talks on forming a new government since the September 12 general election and are now nearing an end, political pundits agree.

Insiders say the new coalition has agreed to structurally cut spending by ?15bn in an effort to get the budget deficit below eurozone limits. The actual volume of cuts will be higher to pay for extra spending.

Finances

The broad agreement has now been sent to the government?s macro-economic forecasting agency CPB which will assess its impact on the state finances.

Once that has happened and policies have been fine-tuned, the coalition agreement can be presented to VVD and PvdA party members. The PvdA will hold a congress to vote on the deal ? probably next weekend.

Pundits say November 6 is a likely date for the presentation of the new cabinet.

According to media leaks, this has been agreed so far:

Mortgage tax relief will be reduced by 0.5% a year from 2014 for both new and current mortgages

The highest tax band will be cut from 52% to 49%

The third tax band will go down from 42% to 38%

Healthcare benefit will be scrapped

Health insurance premiums will become income-dependent

?1bn will be cut from the development aid budget

The defence ministry will get extra cash for peace missions

Student grants will be replaced by loans and the fine for slow students will be scrapped.

Tax on insurance will be doubled to 21%

Civil servants will no longer be able to refuse to marry gay couples

Local councils will have the right to decide whether or not to allow Sunday shopping

A limited amnesty for refugee children who have become rooted in the Netherlands

Plans to make it easier for companies to sack staff will be reversed

Survivor Philippines Episode 6 Recap

We begin the Survivor Philippines Episode 6 recap on Night 13 as the Kalabawa Tribe returns from their first trip to Tribal Council. Katie feels isolated and alone now that her only ally, Dawson, was voted out. So she plots to stir up trouble and will try to get the tribe to vote off veteran player Jonathan Penner next. Good luck with that! On Day 14, she begins to spin her web, warning the newly arrived Denise that Jonathan probably has a hidden immunity idol. Day 15 and things are not looking good food-wise with the Tandang Tribe. Their supply of rice is nearly exhausted thanks to veteran player Michael Skupick frequently munching on it raw. He thinks the rice will cook in his tummy. Given that the temperature is above 100 degrees most of the time, he may be right. A Reward Challenge might help as the prize is a hearty lunch of thick, meaty sandwiches, soup and brownies. The event is for three players from each tribe to battle in the mud while trying to push a giant ball into a goal. In Round One, we have Jonathan, Carter and Denise for Kalabawa versus Mike, Pete and Lisa [...]

Nanotechnology helps scientists keep silver shiny

ScienceDaily (Oct. 26, 2012) ? There are thousands of silver artifacts in museum collections around the world, and keeping them shiny is a constant challenge. So scientists are using new technology to give conservators a helping hand. A team of researchers led by Ray Phaneuf, a professor of materials science and engineering at the University of Maryland, College Park, has partnered with The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore to investigate less labor-intensive ways to protect silver artifacts from tarnishing. The new techniques, which might keep silver surfaces shiny for longer than traditional methods, could help ensure that historically important artifacts are preserved for future generations to learn from and enjoy.

The researchers will present their work at the AVS 59th International Symposium and Exhibition, held Oct. 28 -- Nov. 2, in Tampa, Fla.

Silver tarnishes when hydrogen sulfide in the air reacts with the silver, forming an unsightly black layer of silver sulfide on the surface of the artifact. If the tarnish appears on Grandma's silver flatware set, a little polisher and some elbow grease will easily remove it. But polishing, which works by dissolving or grinding away the silver-sulfide layer, can also remove some of the underlying silver, an undesirable outcome for priceless works of art.

Currently museum conservators can apply a thin layer of nitrocellulose lacquer to protect the silver. The coating is often hand-painted by a trained specialist and must be removed and reapplied an average of every thirty years. Phaneuf notes that it is difficult to apply a layer of even thickness over an entire piece, and the process of applying, removing, and reapplying the film is time-consuming.

"We did a quick back-of-the envelope calculation and found that for a big museum like the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, treating their entire silver collection with nitrocellulose films would likely be a never-ending task," says Phaneuf.

A quicker conservation method is to display silver pieces in an enclosed chamber with filtered air, but the chambers often leak, are expensive to install and maintain, and putting an artifact behind glass may prevent visitors from seeing the object up-close and from multiple angles.

Phaneuf and his colleagues are investigating a technique that could overcome some of the shortcomings of current preservation methods. Called atomic layer deposition (ALD), the process gives scientists atomic-level control over the thickness of a transparent oxide film that they grow on the surface of silver objects. By running a series of surface-limited chemical reactions, researchers can build the protective film one atom-thick layer at a time. The films Phaneuf and his team have tested are under 100 nanometers thick, less than 1/1000th the thickness of a human hair.

Phaneuf and his colleagues are currently experimenting by applying ALD films to highly uniform silver test wafers. The uniformity of the wafers allows the researchers to control variables, such as the composition of the silver, in order to create a model of the tarnishing kinetics as sulfur diffuses through the ALD film.

"This is when we get to put on our physicists' hats," Phaneuf says of simplifying the test cases and building a predictive model. The test case results showed two components to the concentration profile, indicating a faster rate of sulfur diffusion through tiny pinholes in the protective oxide film. The researchers are now experimenting with multilayer films that plug these pinholes.

Before the researchers use ALD on prized museum pieces, they will need to demonstrate that the coating can be removed without damaging the artifact, and that the thin film will have a minimal effect on the aesthetic look of the silver. In terms of appearance, ALD films may have another advantage over conventional nitrocellulose lacquer, which can yellow with age. Phaneuf and his colleagues are performing tests to measure how the thickness of the ALD films affects the way silver reflects light.

"Untreated silver beautifully reflects white light," Phaneuf explains. "You don't want the protective film to create interference effects that make it look blue or yellow." The expert eyes of art conservators will also help the researchers judge their success in this respect.

Phaneuf says that collaborating museums may soon allow the team to test their methods on forgeries of silver artifacts, and by year's end the team should be working with genuine pieces. "There is no shortage of complex objects this method might be applied to," Phaneuf notes. "There is a lot of interest now in the conservation community in how nanotechnology and other high technologies can be used to preserve art."

Major storm threat for East Coast early next week

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Much of the U.S. East Coast has a good chance of getting blasted by gale-force winds, flooding, heavy rain and maybe even snow early next week by an unusual hybrid of hurricane and winter storm, federal and private forecasters say.

Though still projecting several days ahead of Halloween week, the computer models are spooking meteorologists. Government scientists said Wednesday the storm has a 70 percent chance of smacking the Northeast and mid-Atlantic.

Hurricane Sandy in the Caribbean, an early winter storm in the West, and a blast of arctic air from the North are predicted to collide, sloshing and parking over the country's most populous coastal corridor starting Sunday. The worst of it should peak early Tuesday, but it will stretch into midweek, forecasters say.

"It'll be a rough couple days from Hatteras up to Cape Cod," said forecaster Jim Cisco of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration prediction center in College Park, Md. "We don't have many modern precedents for what the models are suggesting."

It is likely to hit during a full moon when tides are near their highest, increasing coastal flooding potential, NOAA forecasts warn. And with some trees still leafy and the potential for snow, power outages could last to Election Day, some meteorologists fear. They say it has all the earmarks of a billion-dollar storm.

Some have compared it to the so-called Perfect Storm that struck off the coast of New England in 1991, but Cisco said that one didn't hit as populated an area and is not comparable to what the East Coast may be facing. Nor is it like last year's Halloween storm, which was merely an early snowstorm in the Northeast.

This has much more mess potential because it is a combination of different storm types that could produce a real whopper of weather problems, meteorologists say.

"The Perfect Storm only did $200 million of damage and I'm thinking a billion," said Jeff Masters, meteorology director of the private service Weather Underground. "Yeah, it will be worse."

But this is several days in advance, when weather forecasts are far less accurate. The National Hurricane Center only predicts five days in advance, and on Wednesday their forecasts had what's left of Sandy off the North Carolina coast on Monday. But the hurricane center's chief hurricane specialist, James Franklin, said the threat keeps increasing for "a major impact in the Northeast, New York area. In fact it would be such a big storm that it would affect all of the Northeast."

The forecasts keep getting gloomier and more convincing with every day, several experts said.

Cisco said the chance of the storm smacking the East jumped from 60 percent to 70 percent on Wednesday. Masters was somewhat skeptical on Tuesday, giving the storm scenario just a 40 percent likelihood, but on Wednesday he also upped that to 70 percent. The remaining computer models that previously hadn't shown the merger and mega-storm formation now predict a similar scenario.

The biggest question mark is snow, and that depends on where the remnants of Sandy turn inland. The computer model that has been leading the pack in predicting the hybrid storm has it hitting around Delaware. But another model has the storm hitting closer to Maine. If it hits Delaware, the chances of snow increase in that region. If it hits farther north, chances for snow in the mid-Atlantic and even up to New York are lessened, Masters said.

NOAA's Cisco said he could see the equivalent of several inches of snow or rain in the mid-Atlantic, depending on where the storm ends up. In the mountains, snow may be measured in feet instead of inches.

Alternative Business Structures (ABS) ? High Street and Specialist ...

Founder member of Core Legal David Mort, Co-owner and Director of IRN Research, looks at the progress of ABS so far and notes the significant number of high street and specialist law firms adopting the ABS model.

?

In advance of the ABS launch earlier this year, many felt that big brands from outside the legal market would use the ABS model to enter the legal sector. So far, these big brands have largely been conspicuous by their absence, with the exception of the Co-op which was already offering legal services (and brands like the AA and Saga plus one or two insurance companies which have signalled their intentions to become ABS).

By October 2012, around 30 ABSs had been licensed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) and another 150 or so were waiting for a decision on their license. There have also been another 11 specialist conveyancing ABSs licensed by the Council for Licensed Conveyancers.?The 30 licensed so far are a mix of high street firms, volume legal providers, new start-ups, and niche law firms but there are as many medium and smaller law firms becoming ABSs as there are larger firms.

If there is a threat to high street legal from ABS, it is so far coming from established law firms like Irwin Mitchell and Russell Jones & Walker (plus the Co-op) which will use ABS, and external investment, to grow their volume personal injury and other consumer law businesses. Irwin Mitchell has just announced that it will embark on its first TV ad campaign this year to boost brand awareness.

There are likely to be some ?big brands? in the remaining 150 ABS applications but we can also expect the mix of licences to continue to mirror the pattern set in the first 30, with more high street and specialist law firms taking the plunge.

Friday, Oct. 26, 2012: Freedom of religion, free ... - Bangor Daily News

Freedom and religion

A recent letter writer (? Republican Party platform,? BDN, 10/1) chastised Republicans for ?reasserting? the principle that ?freedom of religion? does not mean ?freedom from religion? and delivers a speculative parade of horrors. The writer seeks clarification.

As a professor of constitutional law for 25 years at the University of California, I know something about this subject. ?Freedom from religion? is another way of saying that governments may not aid or acknowledge religion in any way. The logical end of this position is absurd: If a synagogue catches fire, the fire department can?t respond. Less extreme results would include excision of ?So help me God? from the end of the traditional presidential oath of office or denial of tax exemptions to churches.

Freedom of religion means that the people are free to believe as they wish without state compulsion to the contrary and that the state may acknowledge their beliefs by, for example, making Christmas a holiday. Extreme secularists, such as the letter writer and, apparently, the Democratic Party, which begrudgingly admitted the possibility of a God (over the vociferous objections of many of the party?s convention delegates), would require a stern, perhaps Calvinist, rejection of any religious belief in the public square. That?s not what the founding generation had in mind.

A remarkable community

We at Treworgy Family Orchards want to thank our customers on both sides of Question 1 who have treated us with respect after the unfolding of events on our Facebook page (? Treworgy family farmers take down ?No on 1? sign after Facebook flap,? BDN, 10/22). To those who have been less than respectful, we bear no hard feelings.

Our farm?s mission is to be loving and welcoming to all our guests. Some of our guests expressed that they felt unwelcome and hurt by our sign. We decided to remove our ?No on 1? sign because we wanted to demonstrate that we can maintain our convictions, while showing love and respect for those who disagree with us.

Many people have suggested that it was unwise for us to bring our personal convictions into our business. We do not separate our personal lives from our business. Our farm is an extension of who we are, and when we welcome people to our farm we welcome them to our home.

We are grateful to be a part of this remarkable community that values real relationships more than political positions.

It?s only fair

There being too much money in politics and not enough to balance our federal budget may seem like two different problems, but they?re actually related.

Both are a result of immensely wealthy individuals and huge multinational corporations gaining too much power in our society. But there are steps the middle class can take to regain control of our democracy.

Maine, of course, has already gone a long way toward draining ?big money? out of politics with its Clean Elections system. Stellar state Senate candidates such as Geoff Gratwick of Bangor and David White of Bar Harbor, both Democrats, have as a result emerged. Now if Congress would get about overturning the awful Citizens United Supreme Court decision, which opened the door for billionaire kingmakers, we could demand some accountability from the supposedly independent committees that plague our elections with endless attack ads.

By the same token, Congress could get a start on reducing our national debt by asking a little more from those with the most to give. Tax cuts should be allowed to expire on the 2 percent of American households with annual income over a quarter million dollars (while extending middle-income cuts). This would bring in hundreds of billions of dollars over the next decade for deficit reduction and strengthen middle-class programs such as Medicare.

U.S. Sens. Susan Collins and Olympia Snowe should help forge a bipartisan budget deal now that includes such slightly higher taxes on the rich. Let?s get the money out of politics and do some good for our national finances. It?s only fair.

Safe streets

Once again, Renee Ordway was right on target in her recent column about not feeling safe in certain areas local to Bangor and Brewer ( ?Bangor drug problem makes residents feel like ?hostages? in their own homes,? BDN, 10/6).

Neither do I. I live in Brewer and am in my mid 60s. I no longer walk the streets of our local cities and feel totally safe. She was right about people coming up to you who you don?t know. Some look and act intimidating, like they want to start something. I carry a 9mm pistol most of the time these days, sometimes concealed, sometimes not. I also carry a mace gun. The last thing I want to do is actually have to shoot someone, so I have options. Of course I?ll always try to walk away, but sometimes that is not a safe alternative.

The police do a great job but can?t be everywhere. The average arrival time can be up to six minutes. Sometimes we have to do what we need to do to protect ourselves, loved ones and, yes, even strangers.

Elections have consequences

Two years ago residents of Bangor and Hermon chose Republican Nichi Farnham to represent us in the Maine Senate. Now her first term is drawing to a close. It would be wise to review her work.

Farnham is a likable person and has worked for what she feels is the best interests of her community. Recently in the BDN, Farnham touted some of her accomplishments. Much was left unsaid, however.

Farnham failed to mention that she helped spearhead the attempt to end same-day voter registration. She also failed to mention her support of Maine?s new insurance overhaul bill that has increased rates for older Mainers.

She opposed issues important to women, earning a 33 percent rating from the Maine Women?s Lobby for the second session of the 125th Legislature. She opposed the right of child care workers to collectively bargain, sought to put unnecessary restrictions on Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Programs and supported restrictions on unemployment benefits.

When faced with the choice of supporting her Republican colleagues? budget or standing up for the greater Bangor community, she voted along party lines, even when it meant cutting programs.

Farnham has supported policies that make it harder to live and work in Maine. I urge residents to send Democrat Geoff Gratwick to the Senate to help reverse the harmful policies that have come from the LePage administration and senators such as Farnham.

Pocket brings its 'read it later' service to Mac App Store, keeps its free status

We know Pocket has had a strong presence on iOS, Android and other platforms for quite some time now, but today the service formerly known as Read it Later announced it is now making its way to a bigger Cupertino screen. Naturally, Pocket's new application isn't much different than its mobile versions, meaning it'll offer the same offline access, save-for-later features as it currently does on the mobile front but with a more "native Mac experience" -- of course, this includes the ability to sync across multiple devices, stream videos and share tidbits via those cherished social networks. What's more, Pocket won't be charging a dime for its novel and handy OS X app, though this shouldn't come as a surprise given the outfit's somewhat recently adopted no-cost model -- still, it's a gesture most people will certainly appreciate, and one you Mac folk can start enjoying now by downloading from to the desktop-based App Store.

Communication Brick Wall Hearing Or Blabbing Lips

People make a huge mistake when communicating. Huge! HUGE!

After you understand that men and women communicate quite differently, intimate relationships are easier. If we learn, however, how to communicate like a dog, those same relationships grow even stronger.

But we don?t just make this HUGE communication mistake when we are talking to our significant other. With each ongoing relationship, it is important to learn the natural communication style of the listener. Once that is down pat, communication with anyone is easier and more effective.

There is still a HUGE communication problem.

The problem isn?t that we don?t know how to communicate properly that makes us fail at communicating. Brace yourself because I?m going to tell you the big problem.

We don?t communicate.

Yes, that was the earth-shattering revelation.

People half-heartedly listen to conversations or totally ignore each other. Often the woman is a set of non-stop blabbing lips speaker and the man is a brick wall listener. Communication isn?t happening. One won?t shut up and the other won?t listen.

Then what happens?

The silent treatment. Sleeping in the doghouse. Storming out of the house. Arguing. Screaming. Sleeping back to each other. Ignoring phone calls. Deleting texts.

In a less intimate relationship, the non-communicators stop every attempt at talking to each other. All phone calls go to voice mail. No lunch meetings. Job changes are made to get away from each other. Any semblance of a relationship dies.

Listening attentively is a skill, but it starts with a DESIRE to listen. Where there isn?t mutual respect, the desire to communicate doesn?t exist. In a marriage, lack of communication is like a dagger to the heart of the relationship. When sharing stops, the marriage ends. Maybe the people stay together because ?something is better than nothing? and they settle, but the marriage as a true bond dies. Not many things are worse than a marriage ending. It is full of sadness and a loss of dreams. I know because I?ve been there.

I value a solid two way conversation and put it high on the list of important things in a relationship ? any relationship. Let me tell you one personal story for you to ponder that illustrates the importance of valuing communication.

I will start by saying that I love my dad and miss him desperately since his death. I?m so glad that during the last seven years of his life we patched our relationship. All was forgiven and I cherished every second of his presence and voice coming over the phone line. I seriously can?t tell you how much I miss his phone calls. So bearing that in mind, I will share this story with you.

When I was young and my parents were married, Dad would get home from work at 5:00 p.m. every day. Like a good wife, my mother had dinner waiting on the table for him as soon as he walked in the door. My inner clock was programmed for him to come home at the same time each day and I would wait with anticipation for Dad to walk through the front door.

The key in the door would click and I would run as fast as possible to greet Dad as he walked into the house. I grabbed his leg with both arms and hugged him with all my might. Dad would walk into the house dragging me on his leg and never say a word. He never swooped me up in his arms. He never leaned down and kissed my face. He didn?t ruffle my red bouncy curls. Dad just kept walking and ignored my presence on his leg. When he sat down at the table, I obviously had to let go of my grip, but I had been completely ignored.

That experience along with a few others is why I feel communication, sincere communication, is vital in a relationship. Being ignored can crush a soul and lead to a lifelong journey of low self-esteem. For me, if my dad didn?t think I was worth acknowledging and listening to, my ?brain? thought that I must not have much value.

There is a fine line between brick wall hearing and non-stop blabbing lips. Neither is right, but both can be corrected by simply having the desire to communicate.

Honestly, I can still feel the material of his pants leg on my cheek as I clutched him so tightly and begged in my heart for his attention. Obviously, now that I?m grown, I like to be greeted at the door wholeheartedly just the same as I wholeheartedly greet people who come through my door. Maybe that is why I?m such a hugger. Hmmm?I never thought of that aspect of my affections.

How important do you think communication is in a relationship? If you have brick wall hearing or blabbing lips, do you see the impact your behavior has on the relationships that you engage in each day? I?d love to hear your thoughts.

Your Initially Time Internet Hosting Option Need To Be the Best ...

Some have says that next to nothing in existence which was absolutely free was at any time price purchasing. This really is increased than simply an audio byte or even a witty indicating. A number of people will enter into at no cost world-wide-web internet hosting specials free of recognizing the underlying total price they really have to fork out consequently. That charge can change professionalism. It will probably restrict one?s skills to offer their business all it justifies. And it could possibly without a doubt transform off possible clientele, users, and readers. Whilst not pretty much everything which is ?free? will want to be viewed as a squander of time, just one should always even now comprehend that for one thing cost-free to really be helpful, it really should have some will mean to an close, which finish is to try to create income or create notoriety. Totally free online internet hosting products and services quite often hold a person webpage proprietor from performing that beneath the guise of remaining ?risk no cost.? The motives you need to definitely reconsider for people who have affiliated oneself dependent only on insufficient amount are countless:

Missing Professionalism

When humans head over to a web page they maintain for being an authority or maybe even an area with whom they?d love to do internet marketing business, they get genuinely unpleasant with websites which might be hosted absolutely free. For an individual, 100 percent free solutions don?t routinely mean you can brand name your organization the way in which that it must have to generally be branded so as to be useful. Acquiring a conventional ?dot com? or ?dot org? identify will not occur for the reason that your tackle is usually tied to some representation from the service that is certainly internet hosting you. You happen to be effectively assisting them to brand name their selves with your effort and expertise, which can set you back a complete large amount even more than you are likely to at any time conserve by not purchasing internet hosting.

Restricting Controls

Whereas a cost-free website internet hosting support might probably offer you some powers and permit you for being operational in you are viewable with the community, they restrict the quantity of bandwidth and storage you can use, which in the end limitations your desired goals being an via the web entrepreneur. You possess for being able to mature then deal with a gradual inflow of targeted traffic, and internet hosting merchants which offer their products and services without charge can only choose you up to now.

Turning Off Clientele

When you are in organisation on your own so you want your internet site to generally be a moneymaker, then the worst idea you are able to do is connect it to some enormous website host, irrespective of the very fact which they are internet hosting you at no cost. Clientele seems for authority. They will need it if they?re at any time likely to section with any in their hard-earned pounds, which basically is just not the picture that you?re projecting when you go together with a free of charge company.

Keep in mind these issues, and go ahead and take precise stage should you begin your site.

How to make real friends (and pimp your Klout) with Flipboard ...

I?ll get to the point: my secret to being amazingly- and profoundly-engaged with so many of my followers on Twitter, my friends on Facebook, and my circles on Google+ is because I cheat.?Whenever I am between things, in lines, waiting for something, and even on boring conference calls, I pull up Flipboard and read what my followers, friends, and circles are sharing ? a news ? and I generously retweet, +1, Like, Favorite, Share and Comment.?And I believe that Flipboard is my secret weapon when it comes to improving and maintaining my Klout score. Why? Well, the more I give the more I get. The more items I honestly and earnestly retweet, favorite, +1, Like and share, the more willing and game the people I share are also willing to take the few seconds it takes to retweet me back.

One of the hardest things to do when it comes to participating in social media is trying to give more than you take. In order to really grow your reputation online you really need to be perceived as giving more than you take. Generosity is always rewarded in this marathon of social media engagement. In order to make the most of your work online, you need to work on becoming connected with your online community. Social media demands not only commitment to feeding the beast ? the 24/7 maw of content-creation ? but it also requires that you take an interest in what your followers and your friends are posting as well.

And Flipboard makes it easy to do this. When you install it, go immediately to the red ribbon with the magnifying glass on it and login and link up all of your social networking credentials and Flipboard will automagically generate a personalised newspaper for you to peruse. Of course, you can also follow various topics and news sources and so forth ? and I do that as well ? but the real juice happens when you share the content of real people with whome you?re connect via reciprocal connection rather than just sharing content fed you directly from online media sources.

And since I really only like, share, Favorite, +1, and retweet stuff that resonates with me, it helps build my character online, allowing me to build not only my personal and professional brand with my followers but it also allows these real people to get to know me better based on what I like, as well. Additionally, all of this great content aggregates right to me, so I become not just more broadly informed but also way more deeply-informed as well. Why? Because birds of a feather flock together.

This is especially important for us social media experts, social media gurus, and social media marketers. We tend to be a little heavy-handed and tend to do a lot more egocentric and self-serving posts than other folks ? it?s our business ? so tempering our perceived abuse of these platforms with authentic sharing and an engaged back and forth is essential, otherwise people will tune out and we risk being unfollowed for being a little spammy.

Because Flipboard isn?t an open mike, you won?t be tempted to read your own poetry, to just speak about your own stuff, your own brand. Because Flipboard is a reader that allows full social engagement and appreciate and wraps it up with a very gorgerous bow ? the UI is amazing and makes even the simplest blog posts feel like a full-color glossy magazing ? it?s no pain to consume all the share of everyone you too often ignore. And, instead of being painful torture, it?s actually quite amizing. Even more, because of how easy it is to navigate through the cross-platform interface ? including uniquely-designed Apple iOS apps for iPhone and iPad and a very attractive interface for the Android as well ? it?s easy to breeze past the articles, tweets and posts that don?t interest you and then move on to content that catches your eye ? and then easily Favorite, +1, Retweet, or Retweet with Comment. And, for you Twitter Grammar geeks, Flipboard knows how to set up an editable RT the right way, conveniently adding an RT before the quoted tweet and none of that stupid quote stuff some of the other tools offer.

It reminds me of when I was a young poet in college. I would go to poetry readings and I would spend all of my time on my own poetry ? as was everyone else. Everyone was reading, reading, reading, at the reading, and nobody was listening to other poets. The audience was full of people who were spending all of their time reading or prepping to read and no one was listening.

Same thing with social media. Most brands and companies are spending all of their time talking talking talking, sharing sharing sharing, link-dropping link-dropping link-dropping, that even just listening a little, engaging a little, responding sometimes is really appreciated ? and really unexpected, too.

Spend some time every day giving back. Before Flipboard, it was still essential but a pain in the neck; with Flipboard, it?s actually a very informative and entertaining pleasure.
