Conscious Consumer Eco Mix Colour Vinyl
The highly sought after album received a very limited CD only release in 1995 on Receiver Records in the UK and has been officially unavailable for the past 27 years The album reunited the iconic XRay Spex vocalist Poly Styrene with original XRay Spex saxophonist Lora Logic and bassist Paul Dean, as well as guitar from Kula Shaker frontman Crispian Mills under his then pseudonym Red Spectre.This release has been remastered from the original master tapes and is available on LP for the first time ever Including the original and expanded artwork, including previously unpublished lyrics and original sleeve notes from Poly.Pop culture is full of classic albums that slip between the cracks. In recent years the late Poly Styrene and XRay Spex have achieved iconic status with their 1978 debut Germfree Adolescents album but the groups follow up album 039Conscious Consumer released 17 years later has been lost to the sands of time.These days most people dont even realise that XRay Spex had a follow up to what is now embraced as one of the classics of the punk rock period.This lovingly compiled revisit puts the spotlight on a lost gem that has many of the hallmarks of the debut but is sieved through a different lens. Conscious Consumer was an upgrade of the classic debut with a same punk rock urgency and themes of consumerism but with a poppier edge and a more considered wisdom gleamed from the ups and downs of life from the perspective of an older, wiser, Krishna devotee.In 1995 the album was an unexpected comeback and a lost classic. It was the first new material recorded by the band for years despite many of the songs being written a decade before. On release, though, the album disappeared into a void being out of sync with the times and before Poly got her deserved iconic status.The band who also reformed in 1991, 1995 and 2008 are now revered worldwide for sparking a new kind of attitude in music. The late Poly is now a pop culture pinup for an originality and feminism that barely existed at the time. Her acerbic, witty and brilliant lyrics and distinctive voice have stood the test of time, and along with the bands original sax player Lora Logic, she has become part of the punk rock narrative. The fuzzy snapshots of the brief early lineup see the sassy and sharp dressed teenager core oozing talent, originality and style in a freeze frame of pop culture punk rock perfection.Listening to the album again after a long break, Paul Dean is surprised.Conscious Consumer now sounds so much better than I remember. It wasnt properly released at the time and so no one knows about it. If you love Germfree Adolescents you will love Conscious Consumer they are linked together. XRay Spex didnt have just one great album it was two

The Production of Everyday Life in Eco-Conscious Households : Compromise, Conflict, Complicity

Why do only eco-conscious women drive such cargo bikes?
Eco-conscious women are more likely to drive cargo bikes because they are often more aware of the environmental impact of their transportation choices. Cargo bikes are a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to cars, as they produce no emissions and reduce the need for fossil fuels. Additionally, women who are environmentally conscious may be more inclined to prioritize the health of their communities and the planet by choosing a mode of transportation that aligns with their values. Finally, cargo bikes offer a practical and convenient way for women to transport goods and children while reducing their carbon footprint.

What is conscious provocation as a strategy?
Conscious provocation as a strategy involves intentionally inciting a reaction or response from others by saying or doing something controversial, inflammatory, or challenging. This strategy is often used to spark dialogue, raise awareness, or challenge societal norms. By provoking a response, individuals or groups can bring attention to important issues, initiate discussions, or disrupt the status quo. However, it is important to consider the potential consequences and ethical implications of using conscious provocation as a strategy.

Is the superego conscious?
The superego is considered to be part of the unconscious mind in Freudian psychoanalytic theory. It is the component of the personality that represents internalized societal and parental values, norms, and ideals. While the superego influences our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, it is not typically considered to be conscious in the same way that the ego is. Instead, it operates at a deeper level of awareness, shaping our moral compass and guiding our sense of right and wrong.

Is that conscious suppression?
Conscious suppression refers to the deliberate effort to suppress or control certain thoughts, emotions, or behaviors. It involves a conscious awareness and intention to suppress something. Whether something is conscious suppression depends on the individual's awareness and intention. If someone is actively trying to suppress something, then it can be considered conscious suppression. However, if the suppression is happening without the individual's awareness or intention, then it may not be considered conscious suppression.

The Global Rule of Three : Competing with Conscious Strategy
**Finalist for the 2022 Leonard L. Berry Marketing Book Award from the American Marketing Association, which recognizes the top marketing books annually**In our increasingly digital, mobile, and global world, the existing theories of business and economics have lost much of their appeal with the phenomenal rise of Chindia, the reality of Brexit, the turmoil caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, and the seismic shifting of the global center of gravity from west to east.In the area of innovation, the traditional thinking that a developed country, often the US, will come up with the next major innovation, launch at home first, and then take it to other markets does not ring true anymore.Similarly, the world where conglomerates go bargain-hunting for acquisitions in emerging markets has been turned upside-down. This book reveals and illustrates the Global Rule of Three phenomenon, which stipulates that in competitive markets only three companies (which the authors call "generalists") can dominate the market.All other players in the market are specialists. Further, whereas the financial performance of generalists improves as market share increases, specialist companies see a decrease in financial performance as their market share increases, as the latter are margin-driven companies.This theory powerfully captures the evolution of global markets and what executives must do to succeed.It is based on empirical analyses of hundreds of markets and industries in the US and globally.Competitive markets evolve in a predictable fashion across industries and geographies, where every industry goes through a similar lifecycle from beginning to end (or revitalization).From local to regional to national markets, the last stop in the evolution of markets is going global.The pattern is so consistent that it represents a distinct and natural market structure at every level. The authors offer strategies that generalists and specialist should follow to stay competitive as well as twelve expansion strategies for global companies from emerging markets. This book chronicles this global evolution and provides impactfulmanagerial implications for executives and students of marketing and corporate strategy alike.

Are glances always conscious?
No, glances are not always conscious. Sometimes, people may glance at something or someone without being fully aware of it, especially if their attention is divided or if they are lost in thought.

What good are low temperatures and environmentally friendly, eco-conscious detergents if stronger cleaning agents are needed or warmer water is required?
Low temperatures and environmentally friendly detergents are beneficial because they help reduce energy consumption and minimize the impact on the environment. However, if stronger cleaning agents or warmer water are needed to effectively clean clothes, then the benefits of using low temperatures and eco-friendly detergents may be diminished. It is important to strike a balance between using sustainable practices and ensuring that clothes are cleaned thoroughly.

What good are low temperatures and environmentally friendly, eco-conscious detergents if stronger cleaning agents are needed or warmer water is used instead?
Low temperatures and environmentally friendly detergents are beneficial because they help reduce energy consumption and minimize the impact on the environment. However, if stronger cleaning agents are needed or warmer water is used instead, it can negate these benefits by increasing the overall environmental impact. It is important to use the right combination of cleaning agents, water temperature, and detergents to achieve effective cleaning while still being eco-conscious. Balancing these factors can help minimize the environmental footprint of the cleaning process.
