Flap surgery is a technique in plastic and reconstructive surgery where any type of tissue is lifted from a donor site and moved to a recipient site with an intact blood supply. This is similar to but different from a graft, which does not have an intact blood supply and therefore relies on growth of new blood vessels. This is done to fill a defect such as a wound resulting from injury or surgery when the remaining tissue is unable to support a graft, or to rebuild more complex anatomic structures such as breast or jaw. | 2019-04-20T10:56:22Z | null | 175.1 | 525 | null | 0.611429 | [

When you start growing a beard, the next question arises that How to Keep Your Beard Healthy. In order to have a natural and thick beard, it is essential for you to maintain proper care and manage a hygienic routine for your beard. It is always better to wait for at least a month or so before you actually start trimming your beard and applying different products on it. Give your facial hair a proper time to grow in their natural way and after that try to develop a routine for cleaning your beard regularly.
If you are a beard lover and want to have a nice-looking beard, you should use natural shampoo for washing your beard. Try to go for the one that does not contain a lot of chemical and inorganic products in them. You do not need to buy expensive beard shampoos because they add nothing more than expense to your budget.The more healthy products you use for your beard, the more it is good for you because it leads to a beautiful natural-looking beard on your face.
Wash your beard 2-3 times a week with good shampoo. It will keep your beard clean, prevent any build up from accumulating in your beard, and help to have a good beard smell.
Always use a good quality beard oil for conditioning your beard and making it soft and shiny. In order to maintain the shine of your bead, always go for the oils that have natural ingredients in them as well as premium essential oils & extracts. When you apply beard oil, it also moisturizes the skin underneath your beard, maintain follicle health, and prevent flakes as well as itchiness.
Your beard also provides a reflection of your inner health so it is important to care for it and keep it organized. Massage your beard 2 to 3 times a week with beard oil and afterward wash it good shampoo. You will ultimately notice that your beard will start growing smooth, silky, and healthy.
Trimming should be an essential part of your beard cleansing routine so that it can look healthy and well-kept. Buy a good quality scissor and trimmer for your beard. Before trimming your beard yourself, learn all the proper techniques and tips that are required for making this process a smooth one.
Trim your beard once it starts looking disorganized and unkempt. Different people have different facial growth so it totally depends on you’re the growth of your facial hair that when it is the right time to cut and trim your beard. | 2019-04-21T14:02:49Z | null | 404.3 | 2,371 | null | 0 | []

Getting a multi-channel amp from Linn does not get any better than this. The AV5125 is a compact powerhouse that puts out 125W per channel in 8 ohms and 230W per channel in 4 ohms with a maximum of 500W with all channels driven. With two pairs of speaker outs per channel, you can even bi-amp each respective speaker if you want. Sound quality is everything we have come to expect from Linn – smooth, detailed and classy. Switch on the back allows for 115V or 230V operation so the amp can be used anywhere in the World.
Cosmetically, the unit looks good. Minor scuff marks here and there but nothing major. You would need BFA speaker plugs to connect your speaker cables to the amp. We don’t have the original box but can securely pack it for safe shipping. Manual is available online. | 2019-04-22T04:10:08Z | null | 905.8 | 786 | null | 0.21374 | [

Mortgage lenders are under a very tight microscope by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and are subject to extreme oversight. It’s an automatic that every mortgage company in America is audited. These audits are random and could be more frequent based on the lender’s financial rating. If a lender pushes the envelope too far audits become more frequent.
One such barometer of risk is income. When you’re a W-2 employee of a company that you do not own, you don’t have the ability to change your income and your income is not subject to market fluctuations based on the ebb and flow of business. Self-employment may well prove to be a lucrative could be a double-edged sword when it comes time to getting a mortgage.
One of the things as a self-employed business owner that you will face at some point over the course of your self-employment career is the ability to mitigate your personal financial risk. One such way to do that is to write off all your expenses.
If you have been filing self-employed tax returns for the most recent last five years, the mortgage company may be able to do your mortgage with the most recent one-year income tax return only and omit the last four years as long as you’ve been filing self-employed for the last five years. This will allow you to use the most recent year.
If you’ve been filing self-employed and it’s been less than five years filing self-employed the mortgage company is going to require averaging your two most recent years of income taxes. If one year is bad and one year is good your good year needs to be strong enough to offset two years in one, you heard that right which means you might have to pay the piper and pay more in income taxes.
If you were a W-2 employee and you bought a business and if you’re in the same field and the business has been in existence for two years you can use one-year self-employment income brand new one year out of the gate to qualify. This is a diamond in the rough for both an FHA loan and for a conventional loan.
Where people can get into trouble is when they are a W-2 employee then they go self-employed right out of the gate and they don’t have a tax return to support the income. The solution for mortgage then becomes waiting, getting a cosigner, or get a new W-2 job as new self-employment income with no tax return for support is unsubstantiated in the eyes of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
When you’re self-employed you have as much financial responsibility to show as much income as you can and pay the same amount of taxes that you would as a W-2 employee. While you may be able to write off your expenses that doesn’t necessarily mean that you should especially when it comes time to getting a mortgage. The financial fisk you will bear by writing off all your expenses is not being able to purchase a house, not being able to refinance a house, not being able to take on certain types of credit which could otherwise help your long-term financial bottom line.
Best advice? Talk to an experienced mortgage lender that thoroughly understands every self-employed mortgage intricacy. Next to that, the best thing that you can do is show as much income as you can on paper and responsibly pay the federal taxes associated with your earnings.

It’s the scariest day of the year, especially when it happens on October 31st. I don’t mean Halloween, neither. I’m talkin’ about the exterminator makin’ a visit to City Hall. Somehow it slipped my mind that it was ‘bout that time. Guess I was busy with more important things like tuckin’ away the vittles gathered after last week’s celebrations.
But all of a sudden, there he was. Big as Arnold Schwartensdrooper, strong as Mighty Mouse, and ugly as my brother Ivan’s ex-mother-in-law’s Aunty Mame. I had to do me some fancy footwork, I’ll tell ya. But once, again, I survived. Whew!
It did get me to thinking about my own mortality, though. And that ain’t necessarily a bad thing. We all know the only things certain in this life are death and taxes, especially here at City Hall. It does a mouse good to consider the end of his days now and then.
So I decided I should write my last will and testimony, just in case. Not that I have a lot to leave behind, mind you. But what I have is precious and I don’t want it goin’ to jest anybody. So, here’s what I come up with.
To Mayor Irvine Ferris, my tube of Miracle Mouse Body Lotion. It’s proven to thicken the skin, and I figger he’s gonna need all of that he can get. Feel free to share it with all of Council.
To my fellow field mice back home, I leave my secret stash of vittles. Have a party on ol’ Chester!
And last but not least, I leave my rat-tail comb to Mr. Shane Neufeld. The mullet is sure to make a comeback sooner or later.
Exterminators ought to be executed, if ya ask me. Not that anybody’s askin’.
Portage la Prairians have accused City Hall of harbouring rodents in the past, but this correspondent promises to sniff and scratch out unique stories from the halls of power.
Hey! I resemble that remark. Just like The Hoop and Holler, all business in the front, all party in the back! | 2019-04-20T10:51:08Z | null | 383.4 | 1,851 | null | 0 | []

A global contract may give rise to tax exposures in a number of different jurisdictions. Compliance with tax requirements will normally require the premium to be apportioned between jurisdictions and may result in more than one country's tax being applied to the same premium. In addition tax liabilities may be triggered by a number of factors other than the location of a risk including, residence of insured, route of the business into Lloyd's and Lloyd's status in a jurisdiction.
The coverholder must be a registered authorised agent or insurance intermediary in the Netherlands.
If the coverholder applicant holds a licence to act as an authorised agent in the Netherlands, then it may have any type of binding authority agreement with Lloyd’s underwriters.

The coverholder must be a registered insurance intermediary in its home state.
The coverholder must either have 'passporting' approval for the Netherlands or the managing agent must be satisfied that the way in which business will be transacted means that this is not necessary (i.e., it is not carrying on insurance mediation in the Netherlands).
The coverholder must have its Lloyd's territorial approval extended to include business from ‘Europe (Licensed)’.
For further information please see Market Bulletin Y4125 Coverholder approval: international requirements and Market Bulletin Y4998 Coverholder Regional Mapping Extension.

The coverholder must not engage in insurance mediation in the Netherlands.
The coverholder must deal with customers in the Netherlands only via an insurance intermediary registered either in the Netherlands, or registered in another EEA Member State and with passporting authorisation for the Netherlands.
The coverholder must have its Lloyd's territorial approval extended to include business from 'Europe (Licensed)'.
Typically a binding authority will be arranged by a Lloyd's broker on behalf of its client the coverholder. If a non-Lloyd's broker is to arrange the binding authority the managing agent needs to be sure that it is satisfied that the non-Lloyd's broker can properly place and service the business.
This is not permitted because insurance risks located in the Netherlands cannot be written on a non-admitted basis.
This is not permitted because reinsurance risks located in the Netherlands can only be written on a cross-border basis.

Insurance of large risks: The underwriter can agree with the insured the jurisdiction that will apply to the contract.
Insurance of mass risks: In the event of a dispute, the rules in the Revised Brussels I Regulation determine the EU member state(s), in which a party can bring an action.
Reinsurance: The underwriter can agree with the reinsured the EU member state whose jurisdiction will apply to the contract.
It is mandatory to include a service of suit clause. Lloyd's General Representative must be nominated for establishment policies.
It is not mandatory to include a service of suit clause. Lloyd's General Representative may be nominated for services policies.
European service of suit and jurisdiction clause LSW487 may be used. The clause is available on the Lloyd’s Wordings Repository.
There are no requirements for reinsurance business. | 2019-04-21T16:07:15Z | null | 386.3 | 9,831 | null | 0.037331 | [

I tweeted back, "Disgusting movie, but not the point: We have freedom of speech in America." To which Neera replied, "But as my conserv(ative) friends often say, freedom without responsibility is chaos. Many things that are legal are wrong."
I responded: "You're saying in essence it's wrong for a person protected by the first amendment to express an opinion you don't like." Neera's reply: "No, obviously not. That's a straw man. I'm saying just (because) something is legal, doesn't make it right, eg adultery."
At that point, I thought it best not to try to squeeze a response into a tweet, but we here at Goldblog are multi-platformational, and so here is a longer response: Just as conservative Muslims have as a core principle the protection of the Prophet Muhammad and God from insult, we Americans have a core principle: Freedom of speech. As Stephen Marche has pointed out, (also in a tweet): "We fought for three hundred years for the right to blasphemy. We called that fight the enlightenment."
I think that the only response of the U.S. government in these cases should be the following: "A private citizen has expressed a controversial view. If you disagree with that view, please take it up with him. The only responsibility the U.S. government has in these cases is to uphold the person's right to free speech. Free speech is a sacred principle of our culture and civilization." I think Neera, as an ex-Administration official, ought to say that, too. She obviously is a free speech advocate as well, but on the day after four Americans were murdered because someone else in America exercised his right to free speech, I think Americans ought to focus their attention on this heinous assault on freedom, and not on the content of an absurd YouTube video.
It's a losing game for the U.S. to condemn someone's opinion because a violent mob objects to that opinion for practical reasons, as well. Such condemnation only inflames the mob, which is being told, in essence, that its objections are correct. There has to be room in the modern world for people to critique -- even viciously critique -- other people's religious beliefs, and all other sorts of beliefs. The goal of the mob is to bring us back to the dark ages. The best way to resist them is to stand up militantly for our sacred principles. | 2019-04-19T07:10:57Z | null | 278.2 | 2,315 | null | 0.148164 | [

While osteoarthritis of the knee is typically a bilateral disease, some patients may have signs or symptoms confined to the medial or lateral compartment, often as a result of specific injury. Initial treatment of uni- and bicompartmental disease is similar, i.e. analgesics, viscosupplementation and arthroscopic debridement. If focal cartilage defects are present, other therapies such as autologous chondrocyte or osteochondral transplants may be considered. (See policies: Autologous Chondrocyte Transplantation-1997014 and Osteochondral Autograft Transfer (OATS)-1998142) When patients fail to respond to these more conservative therapies, patients with bicompartmental disease typically consider total knee replacement.
However, patients with unicompartmental disease are often younger and may not be considered ideal candidates for total knee arthroplasty. Additional options in this subset of patients include high tibial osteotomy for those with medial compartment disease and a varus deformity, and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty, consisting of both a tibial and femoral component. This prosthesis leaves intact both cruciate ligaments, the patellofemoral joint and the opposite compartment, thus preserving nearly normal knee kinematics. Unicompartmental arthroplasties are typically performed in older patients with a low level of physical activity.
Finally, an interpositional arthroplasty may be considered in the young active patient as an alternative to an osteotomy or unicompartmental arthroplasty. An interpositional arthroplasty refers to a prosthesis that is essentially placed on the tibial surface, with preservation of the ligaments, minimal resection of underlying bone, and minimal fixation. In the past, McKeever, MacIntosh and Sbarbaro prosthesis have been used, however it appears that these devices are rarely used now. Recently, a cobalt alloy device, referred to as a "unicondylar interpositional spacer" or "UniSpacer" has been FDA approved as an additional interpositional arthroplasty device. The device, manufactured by Sulzer Orthopedics (Austin, TX), consists of a kidney shaped device designed to mimic the shape of the medial tibial condyle as it articulates with the femoral condyle. After arthroscopic debridement and resection of the medial meniscus the device is inserted into the joint space above the affected medial tibial plateau, resting within the boundaries of the resected meniscus. The femur then articulates against the curved surface of the device. The device is intended to be used without cement and is held in place by its geometry and the surrounding soft tissue structures. By filling the joint space that was once occupied by the now missing cartilage, the device is designed to restore the correct tension to lax collateral ligaments.
The FDA approved indication for the UniSpacer device is for "moderate degeneration of the medial compartment of the knee (grade III-IV chondromalacia) with not more than minimal degeneration (grade I-II chondromalacia, no loss of joint space) in the lateral condyle and patellofemoral compartments."
The use of a unicondlylar interpositional spacer for the treatment of unicompartmental arthritis does not meet member benefit certificate primary coverage criteria that there be scientific evidence of effectiveness.
For members with contracts without primary coverage criteria, the use of a unicondylar interpositional spacer as treatment for unicompartmental arthritis is investigational. Investigational services are specific contract exclusions in most member benefit certificates of coverage.
A search of the literature failed to identify any articles in the published peer-reviewed literature regarding the use of a cobalt alloy interpositional arthroplasty device. Several case series of other interpositional devices were identified in literature published in the 1980s. These case series are inadequate to permit scientific conclusions regarding the role of interpositional arthroplasty devices as alternatives of osteotomy, unicompartmental arthroplasty, and total knee arthroplasty.
A search of the MEDLINE database for the period of February 2007 through March 2008 identified one prospective study of 18 consecutive patients with isolated medial compartment osteoarthritis who provided informed consent for insertion of a Unispacer knee implant. Seventeen patients (94%) reported persistent symptoms between 3 and 6 months after surgery. (Bailie et al, 2008) At an average 17 month follow-up (3 to 26 months range), 12 (67%) patients had required further interventions, and 8 (44%) were classified as implant failures. The authors described these results as “disappointing”. While current data indicate that the unicondylar interpositional spacer does not improve the net health outcome, this technology is in an early stage of research and development.
A literature search using the MEDLINE database through September 2014 did not reveal any new information that would prompt a change in the coverage statement.

Having difficulty getting your young patients to understand the impact of oral hygiene and diet on their oral health? Then try the new, advanced CALCIVIS imaging system that can be used with patients from the age of six.
Designed to help the dental team detect active tooth enamel demineralisation by applying a luminescent (light emitting) photoprotein, CALCIVIS serves as a great visual tool as it displays a glowing map of active demineralisation right at the chairside.
This enables children to physically see demineralisation that could lead to dental caries and helps them to understand the consequences of a bad diet and poor oral hygiene.
For more information about the ways CALCIVIS could transform patient education in your practice, contact the team today. | 2019-04-25T03:51:59Z | null | 528.6 | 767 | null | 0 | []

>>>Put up or shut up Hex. Where's the frikin book?
>>>Any time today please, you've promised for two years now - it ain't that hard!
In the 1980s ...when Kim was dominating the crags and the magazines ...... a certain Adelaide mother allegedly said " ...why doesnt Kim just have his own magazine and be done with it ???!!!??? ..."
AND HERE'S ANOTHER IMPORTANT KC FROM THE CARRIGAN YEARS !!!
>>>>Put up or shut up Hex. Where's the frikin book?
Nah, I doubt 'anticipation' very much - despite the early interest. The more you 'tell all' the less interesting the whole topic becomes. Sorry. No, not actually, just sayin' like.
Either write the darn thing or forget it. Maybe?
>AND HERE'S ANOTHER IMPORTANT KC FROM THE CARRIGAN YEARS !!!
'...Along the way you must have worked with some of the big names in climbing?
For a while I was also responsible for sponsorship and producing the Mammut catalogues. When we were distributing Boreal boots Wolfgang Güllich was one of our sponsored climbers and he would get 50 Pfennig for every pair we sold in Germany. I tried to make sure every catalogue had one feature that I felt was likely to be an important future aspect of climbing, like the John Bachar article on training in the 1983 catalogue.
'Imminent'. Does that suggest a Christmas stocking-filler may hit the bookshops any time soon?
As for my view of s*x, well, only me & Madam Lash now the real story, Ha!

I’ve just returned home from my first holiday abroad with my family since Romania in 1994!
This time, I met up with my Norwegian family in Mallorca so we could properly celebrate various big birthdays and wedding anniversaries. Catching up on family events in the sunshine was a brilliant idea, and I think the highlight of the week for me was playing in the turquoise and bottle green surf with my gorgeous 7-year-old twin nieces.
There was no particular reason for choosing Mallorca as our destination, except for the fact that we were all able to fly there directly from our various local airports. However, though the Balearic island was chosen merely for practical reasons, it did not disappoint – and I have a feeling I will be returning before too long.
My niece immediately appropriated my Michael Kors handbag. Girl’s got taste, lol!
I loved waking up to this view!
Sunburnt and sad that the holiday is almost over.
My nieces loved playing with the Squaready app! | 2019-04-22T03:00:53Z | null | 493.8 | 972 | null | 0 | []

Now I am not quite sure how accurate this post is.
A light broth with vegetables, char-grilled sticky pork and a side dish of cold rice noodles. Add garlic and chilli to taste. Delicious!
Sweet grilled pork, cold rice noodles, an array of herbs and some rice paper wrappers to package the whole lot up into. plus a light dipping sauce.
Online research hasn’t shed too much light, although the uppermost pic may more accurately be called Bun Cha Hanoi – a very specific variant you only find in Hanoi. | 2019-04-20T08:34:20Z | null | 413.7 | 500 | null | 0 | []

LIFE UPDATE| BACK TO BLOGGING?
Anywho, during my hiatus, I came to the conclusion that I had really neglected the real reason I started blogging. In 2011 this blog was started as a creative outlet, and in some way during the 3 years, I can say I lost the true reason I blogged. I got caught up in the competition and being the best, that at times I just didn't blog for me. So from now on, I truly blog because I want to. When I put a post out I'll promote it, obviously,but I won't obsess about how many likes or views it gets.. I'll just let it go and well go on with the rest of my life ya know!
I have just been enjoying life tbh and connecting with my friends.
Ohh my big sis also competed on the jumpoff. She won one battle, but sadly lost her title. But I am super proud as she was the first female producer for ages! Check out her stuff here: Beatnik8 souncloud & YouTube.
I am also officially a working gal now! I work in social media and blogger outreach as part of my role! Which is pretty fitting since I am a blogger. It is cool, but hard work though! I'll write more about this in a separate post, since I COMPLETED ONE OF MY 2014 GOALS.
That is about it tbh. My brain just needed a re-boot! I am currently editing my second YouTube video, but my editing program is being très difficult. So I'll get it out ...eventually. I am also going to take up another hobby, I am thinking dance as I did a little back at uni and I love to dance.. so hopefully that will make me feel more creative? I dunno I am just happy I am back to doing what feels natural and I am so glad that I have so many supportive readers. I read all your comments back on my "Am I my blogging bug?" post and it also helped me get back into blogging.
I am rambling! Thank you and enjoy the bank holiday weekend!
Glad you're back, you look beautiful in that picture by the way!
I'm happy I've found your blog I'm following you now & can't wait to see more. Keep in touch!
You've got a very nice blog and I'm happy that I found just when you've returned to it!
Welcome back and congratulations on the job! | 2019-04-22T23:59:43Z | null | 560.6 | 2,083 | null | 0 | []

China has been said to be a difficult place to explore. Traveling as a solo backpacker is not just a learning experience about travel and cultures, but also give you time to think and know more about yourself. Source: The Chronicles of Mariane.
Experience Chinese history by staying at Qianmen Hostel in the heart of Old Beijing's traditional hutongs and small lanes. The hostel's three two-story buildings date back to 1850, featuring traditional inner open-air courtyards and wood-carved balconies.
Qianmen Hostel is just a normal hostel in Beijing with a convenient location, but for budget travellers, it's definitely the best spot to relax at night.
From Terminal 2 of the airport, take Airport Line to Dongzhimen, then take Subway Line 2 to Qianmen.
If you use public transport, go to Qianmen station, take Exit C, use the underbridge, cross the croad and keep walking for a little while. The hostel is on the right hand side opposite McDonalds.
If you like to discover Beijing by yourself, rent a motor cycle in the street next to the hostel for 50RMB a day and cruise through Beijing.
Beware that most hotel staff can speak English, so this is not a big problem, but on the street it may be difficult to communicate.
Beijing 798 Art Zone is famous for unique art exhibition and special workshop. It’s one of the top 22 most famous landmarks in the world.
From Qianmen Hostel, take Subway Line 2 at Qianmen Station to Chaoyangmen, then take Subway Line 6 to Jintai Road, and from there, take East Section of Subway Line 14 to Jiangtai Station. 798 Art Zone is 1.9km walking from this station.
You could easily spend half a day wandering around the complex. There are signboards with English-language maps to guide you around.
Qianmen Avenue starts from Qianmen (the Zhengyang Gate), which is the central front gate of inner city (downtown) of Beijing. Its end to the south is Yongdingmen (the Yongding Gate), the central front gate of outer city of Beijing.
From 798 Art Zone, walk to Jiangtai and take East Section of Subway Line 14 to Jintai Road station. And then, take Subway Line 6 to Dongsi, and Subway Line 5 to Ciqikou and Subway Line 7 to Zhushikou. Qianmen Street is 300m from the Zhushikou station.
It still features that certain traditional touch especially with the modified tram that make hourly rounds along this pedestrian street plaque to Zhusikou street (costs 10 CNY one way).
For those who have extra money to splurge, you could find fashion brands here as well such as Zara, H&M, Uniqlo and other local brands.
There are numerous café and coffee shops so don’t fret when you are dire to have that coffee cure. Those in need to buy souvenirs will also not be disappointed as there are some stores that also caters to travelers looking to buy gifts and memorabilia of China.
At 8:00pm, back to hotel. Qianmen Hostel is just a short walk from Qianmen Street.
From Qianmen Hostel, take Subway Line 2 at Qianmen Station to Chaoyangmen, then take Subway Line 6 to South Luogu Alley. Nan Luo Gu Xiang is just 450m walking from South Luogu Alley Station.
Family restos that offer different Chinese cuisine are dime a dozen and there were also few joints that offered Western and Japanese food.
Clothing stores and bars are scattered around Nanluoguxiang in case you want to observe modern Chinese culture.
From Nan Luo Gu Xiang, take bus 82 to Tiananmen East bus stop, continue walking about 500m you will reach the Tiananmen Square.
Visiting the place in the morning is not a good idea. Hundreds of local tourists are already swarming around the area excited to tour around one of Beijing's most celebrated attractions.
You also notice that almost all sections are closed to public which is odd as one can never really see the functions of these rooms and buildings.
The heat and the crowd can make your feeling worse. No clouds and trees to give shade from the scorching heat of the sun, so make sure bring water, sunglasses or umbrella with you.
Beware of "scam girls" who will ask you to buy teas which really high prices.
Always use your haggling skills and you’ll find out the prices here are almost similar to the wholesalers on other parts of Beijing.
There're some lovely big tea shops where you can sit and taste good quality of tea before you buy them.
Stay away from the local that are offering rides and wait for the Taxi that drives by, there will alot.
Octopus, scorpions, seahorses, centipedes, starfishes, cicadas, beetles, snake, the wildest things you can dream (or not) of eating, they have it right there on their tiny bamboo sticks still wriggling and moving, waiting to be cooked.
Most of the sellers can converse Basic English, or at least understand your haggling gestures (it is a place of business and there is still that big handy calculator after all) so walking around should be a breeze.
It will be actually nice to hang out with a local while wandering off here, might be good to ask their opinion what are the must try is and what to avoid.
At 8:00pm, take a taxi and back to your hotel. | 2019-04-24T00:17:42Z | null | 624.3 | 5,040 | null | 0.0875 | [

Maureen Ogle. Historian, author, ranter, idea junkie.
Your writing is an embarrassment.
Please give up your writing career and get a socially useful job.
I am currently writing book five.
This one interprets beer’s American history from the perspective of founders and owners of August Schell Brewing Company in New Ulm, Minnesota. The family founded the company in 1860, and still operates it today.
What better way to tell the story of American beer?
"Ogle is for the most part a pleasant, incisive companion. Occasionally, though, she manages to lose her cool — and, along with it, the agnostic veneer of her training . . . . She strafes Ralph Nader and his “Naderites,” not to mention journalists, “yuppies,” urbanites, the U.S.D.A. and the F.D.A. Eventually Ogle, her exasperation at a boiling point, does something unexpected: She sides with the hippies." -- from Nick Reding’s New York Times Book Review of In Meat We Trust: An Unexpected History of Carnivore America. | 2019-04-23T12:37:32Z | null | 238.7 | 975 | null | 0 | []

And what about Rachel Carson's Silent Spring? Presumably, people classing something as 'dangerous' means that they don't agree with it, and if people aren't listening to environmentalists then all the arguments about which ideologies and '-isms' are right, wrong or dangerous will be moot, since we won't have a viable or inhabitable planet to carry them out on.
It's dangerous because the earth was given to us to exploit, and we can and should do as we like with it and the environment, 'cos otherwise we're disobeying God.
I find just one or two problems with that position, as you might guess . . .
God is going to swoop down and fix the ozone layer, didn't you know? That is, if ozone depletion isn't a made-up conspiracy of atheist environmentalists. | 2019-04-21T04:12:26Z | null | 225.1 | 756 | null | 0 | []

but nothing works forever. For those of us who are regular gym goers how often do we see someone do the same thing day after day, year after year. These people will plateau mentally and physically. In order to keep your body guessing you have to change-up your workout routines. I recommend at least once a month to change your workout in some way. This could mean that you go from high reps to low reps and heavier weight. It could mean you leave the gym and take your workouts outside. We all need rest and recovery. When you lift weights your muscle fibers tear and this leads to growth. Every now and then a new routine can help give those muscles time to fully recover. Think of the options this gives you.
One of my favorite things to do on a recovery week is yoga. When I say yoga a lot of people assume some sort of easy-going hippie workout with no real benefit. While yoga does offer a mental clarity that lifting weights cannot, it is a serious workout. Your muscles will burn and strengthen while they are being stretched. Your body is designed to move in certain ways but our every day lives cause them to become tight.
Another way I like to get out of the gym and change-up my workout is by running. I enjoy hitting the roads and going on a nice long run. When I was heavier I did lift weights. In fact, I could lift a lot more than I can now. I used to be able to bench press 345 pounds. Now I can’t even come near that but I am much more well-rounded and fit than I was before. There is an expression “jack of all trades. master of none”. When it comes to working out this is completely not true. You have to be a jack of all trades in order to continue your fitness growth. If you try new things I promise you will always feel mentally challenged and physically challenged. Work smarter not harder and your body will thank you for it. | 2019-04-19T08:32:30Z | null | 403.1 | 1,851 | null | 0 | []

Love Life Since 86 | How much is too much?
04 Nov How much is too much?
I considered myself as a not fashionable person. All my clothes are cheap. Most of the time my clothes, shoes and bag aren’t match but I don’t care. As long as I feel comfortable, I will wear whatever suits my activities on the day.
A few weeks ago I went to Uniqlo in EmQuartier with my friend and saw a gorgeous and cool looking (well, at least for me) Women Blocktech Parka. For a second, I thought I found a perfect new jacket. The one I’m using is quite old, I’ve been using it for 6 years maybe. I took a closer look at the Parka jacket. And for another 10 seconds, I seriously know that I’ve found THE ONE! Then, I look at the price. . . . . .
It is 2,490 baht. I looked at my friend and said. . . . .well, it’s not gorgeous anymore. Hahaha My friend agreed with me. I can’t pay almost 2,500 baht for a jacket. I can afford it but I won’t pay this much for clothes. Any pants, tops or shoes that cost more than 400 baht is too much for me. Okay, sometimes I’d pay more if it’s something really nice and for special occasions. If this jacket is around 1,000 baht, I might buy it but that won’t happen. Not sure if I ever mentioned in my other blogs that I’m a gadgets freak. I’d definitely pay 2,500 baht for gadgets if I really want it. No doubt.
Sometimes I dress poorly (but proper) going to the mall, I feel comfortable so why not. Some Thais/sales person like to judge customer on what they are wearing. I really don’t like this attitude but I can’t stop people from thinking/judging. To be honest, I judge people sometimes. It’s what we do. But I always keep it to myself as what I think is not always right. | 2019-04-24T18:36:11Z | null | 409.6 | 1,692 | null | 0 | []

GUNSHIP premiere their official music video for "The Mountain" - the first music video created with Rockstar Games’ PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5. The video is the cinematic accompaniment to ‘The Mountain’ the second track to be released by the band to date.
GUNSHIP has been described as a neon soaked, late night, sonic getaway drive, dripping with analog synthesizers, cinematic vocals and cyberpunk values, all exploding from the front cover of a dusty plastic VHS case which has lain forgotten since 1,984. | 2019-04-25T12:25:03Z | null | 307.2 | 514 | null | 0.480545 | [

I realize that is this going to get me flamed (and having lurked on here for a time, I can even speculate who will do the flaming ::)) but I really want input on this question.
I have worked for state government for fourteen years. I have a Masters degree in my field, and have risen steadily during my employment.
My employer is interested in sending me to law school. As we have no attorneys on staff, I currently assist with as much of our legal work as possible without engaging in the unauthorized practice of law.
The only local option for a night law school is located about 1.5 hours away from my home – a three hour round trip. Because of this we are investigating an online law school – William Howard Taft, specifically. I know they are accredited (though not ABA) and this is what allows my employer to pay tuition, they cannot fund non-accredited school tuition.
As I will be practicing law solely for my employer (the state) this is the rule I would fall under.
My question is: can anyone think of any reason that this is not a practical plan? I realize that this would severely limit my employment opportunities, but I intend to stay with the state until retirement. I love my job, and I make reasonable money (I’m happy with it, at any rate). Any comments on Taft?
Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated.
Yes I also know the annointed will flame you as distance law school is a waste of time, you are stupid, and a waste of money, but I will not. I too worked for state government until I retired and with the price of even traditional in-state law schools I would have had to bear a significant debt load. Combine that with working 50 to 60 hours per week on average, it left very little other time and combine that with caring for a mother in law with Alzheimer's disease, traditional law school when I was younger was NOT an option. IF you have some assurrances that you can take your state bar AFTER passing the California Bar, then you will do alright. Also, there are several ABA approved law schools which will allow us to study for an LLM degree from a correspondence school, specifically St. Thomas, and then we could take the bar exam. Before ANY of you state, NO you can't, I have already been in contact with St. Thomas, an ABA approved school and was assured what I have typed IS CORRECT.
I have been a student with Abraham Lincoln School of Law and have had some concerns regarding the length of time it takes to get feedback. I am seriously considering transferring to Taft after I complete and pass the FYLSX. To aide me in my quest I have already signed up for a bar review for same.
That's very unfortunate about your experience with Concord. So far, they have been rather responsive to me, but that's just my personal experience. Their program is much more comprehensive than the local brick and mortar state-accredited college of law and the materials provided are excellent. One thing you might want to keep in mind about Abraham Lincoln University and Taft is their FYLSE pass rate and the California Bar pass rate. Concord seems to score consistently high in both categories. The only other school that surpasses Concord is Oakbrook. The caveat with Oakbrook is that they are driven by a fundamentalist Christian ideology and that may not be something your state will fund.
I too was accepted into Concord and was looking forward to attending that school. My wife had serious health problems and I had to defer, but when I tried to reenter, I was told I had to wait another year, no exceptions, that is another reason I am attending ALU at present. My complaint about them is the serious lag time to be advised of your work/progress or lack thereof. I would love to be readmitted into Concord, but I guess I have to wait and see. | 2019-04-22T19:57:42Z | null | 365.5 | 3,781 | null | 0 | []

While I look forward to teaching every summer, I still have THOSE nightmares. The ones where I can’t find my classroom. The ones where I’m talking, but no one is paying attention. Unfortunately,I let my nightmares control my teaching for seventeen of the my last twenty-one years of teaching.
The year before I started teaching I subbed often for my best-friends’ dad. He was a nice guy, but could be a super hard-donkey at the drop of the hat. He made kids do push-ups in class. He made us do push-ups at his house. I still remember my brother crying as he tried to do enough push-ups to please our friends’ dad.
Of course I ignored his advice my first year of teaching. My educational classes in my teaching credential told us all about the wonders of a democratic classroom, and group work, and magic fairy dust that turned love into results.
So while I was tough occasionally I was also pretty “chill.” That didn’t go so well my first year of teaching. So the next year I unleashed “Mr. Scary-O.” I was a complete jerk my first few days of teaching, so everyone knew who was boss, and what would happen if they stepped out of line. Here’s how my first four days usually went.
Day One: MC test (either practice AP, or CSU entrance test, or a vocational test) No talking. No fun.
Day Four: Hand back horrible grades and let them know they were in for a tough year.
Day Five: Smile for the first time and start teaching and connecting. Have the students share something about themselves like a favorite object: a modified show and tell.
Word eventually got around that this was my “baptism by fire” an academic hell week, if you will, and that if you survived it, you would start to see “Chill Theriault.” You just had to get past the first few days. Of course there were consequences to this method. Kids who didn’t want to work dropped my class. I convinced myself that that was a good thing. Kids who were super nice and didn’t like mean people dropped my class. In my heart, I knew that was a bad thing, and if I heard about it I told them to hang in there, nice Theriault was around the corner.
But that was still messed up. I even got mad at one of my favorite students of all time, when, as a 10th grader, she had the nerve to talk to a classmate in the back of the room on the first day of school. I moved her desk on the spot. I can’t believe she stuck around. I’m lucky to this day she did.
So what made me change?
I sat there in silence… I thought about her words… I took her love for me and used it as a shield against my fears, my nightmares.
It rained on our wedding: the saying is true. I’ve been lucky ever since.
So two years ago my students did an activity that involved them listening to music, answering questions, drawing, and putting everything together on Instagram and ThingLink.
It was cool, but it was pretty involved with new technology stuff and the tech kinda overshadowed the student’s thinking and responses.
Last year I had students watch a video. A really cool video and then do a Question Formulation Technique with a question focus of “Your Online Persona.” It was cool, but it still wasn’t perfect. I knew I wanted to use the video again, but I still needed to tweak the first day. And there was another problem.
For the first time since I started teaching, we started on a Thursday. Thursday… we would start with a two day week. I hated that, because I like my class to get up in front of the class and share something on that first Friday. How could I have them experience something, open their minds, do something, share that something by Friday, without having them do homework on Thursday night?
Students who were early to class made sure everyone had two pieces of blank computer paper and a colored marker ready to go.
Hi. Thank you for being quiet together. Being quiet together is a special moment for me. It’s a transition between what happened before and what might happen next. It’s a space of possibilities. It’s one of the few times when a class of thirty-seven can all do the same thing at the same time. It gives us space to synchronize our hearts and minds.
Now please draw three things you are scared of. It can be an actual object, person, animal or it can be a state of being, an event, or something else. Draw one thing per box.
Then I tell the students that they will be “creating themselves on a piece of paper.” We will use the other full sheet of blank computer paper. Please turn the paper to landscape (sideways) before starting your drawing.
While they are finishing up. Get ready to show them the second video. This is the video that Amy Burvall shared on Google+ that I just happened to see while I was thinking about my opening day lesson.
Now I want you to create a visual story with all of the drawings you created. The primary drawing will be the large drawing of yourself. Use the three fears or three things you are scared of as the villains or obstacles in your story. They can become a part of a creature, or being individuals or creatures. They can be the heads of creepy people. They can be peeking in a window or behind an object. They can be real or imagined. From the past, the future or the far beyond. If you only want to use one or two of the fears or likes because it makes a better story, you can do that.
Then use the three things you love or care about to help you defeat the three things you are scared of or fear. You can add other drawings or design elements to your drawing as needed.
Please put your name and period on your drawing and your story when you are finished. If you need to grab other colored markers to complete your drawing, you may do so. If you want to take the drawing home to add onto it, you can, or you can leave it on my desk and I’ll pass them out tomorrow.
That should be it for the first day. They have each watched two videos that put them in the right mind-set for creating, risk-taking, and sharing themselves and their creations in my class. I need them to have this mindset. Ryan had a little more time and did a cool wrap-up talking about the fears that the students share and what it says about them and us. He’s always +1ing me.
My story was about a kid named Reggie, who instead of standing up to his mom (who wanted him to eat McDonald’s filet-of-fish for every meal, instead decided to hire the super villain Manta to kill all the fish in the ocean. Thank gosh I like pizza and so do my friends and the fishes of the ocean.
So I shared my story and told the students “Okay that was a C+ story, feel free to make your story better than that if you want an A or a B.” They gasped of course. I smiled. We smiled and then they shared their stories.
What if a student wasn’t an art master? What if they didn’t go all out with their drawing? Well the purpose of the activity wasn’t to draw something well, it was to share our fears and our likes, to get to know each other better. To tell the story of ourselves and start creating the you that you know in your heart in the minds of our classmates.
And that’s exactly what happened. I told the students that most of them kinda know each other, but I need to catch up in my knowledge of who they are, and it’s true. Which is why it’s so important to know as much about our students as possible, so if we had any free time I had them start answering our Interest Inventory questions.
I liked this activity so much that I think I’m going to do it again. And that’s the start of a much better tradition, than the tradition of Mr. Scary-o.
In my defense, I was asking my best friend for a piece of paper, in order to complete the assignment Mr. Scary-O had just given us. I was mortified that in my excitement, I had forgotten paper, pens, and pencils on the first day of school. I almost cried when you made me switch seats, and every day for the next week I dreaded going to your class. The only reason I didn’t transfer out was because I had friends in the class and other people had told me about your greatness. I’m so glad I stayed! I’m also glad that Mr. Scary-O is a thing of the past-school is way better when your teacher doesn’t put you on the verge of tears, especially on the first day.
I’m still sorry about that experience and I think the only way to repay you is a nice dinner, lunch, or breakfast when you come back home during Thanksgiving or Winter break.
I love your story of teaching transformation- isn’t that a lovely part of our job! and what a great lesson- I’m going to try it!
Definitely the right shift into being present, authentic and attentive. This level of engagement had just the right blend of high interest, meaningful connections that learners thrive in.
Did you engage in similar ways beyond this first day activity?
David, I was excited to try your ‘Scared is scared’ idea for the first day… and have just noticed that the first video has been deleted. I am so disappointed. I’m wondering if it may be available someplace other than youtube. Do you have a name or title for it? Thank you so much. You have some wonderful things. Thank you for sharing.
Both of the videos show for me.
I really love this idea. I will be using it this year with my Health classes… I did have one question… I’m reading the section…. “Once you are done I want you to use your original lined paper, the one where you wrote the answers to your questions to write down the short story of your drawing.”… did I miss a piece where you asked them to answer their own questions? Can you help direct me? Thanks!

Darien's Ali Aparicio fields a ball as Darien High School hosts Trumbull in a softball game in Darien, Conn., April 11, 2012. Darien won the game 10-1.
Jessica DeMaio's reputation has been fashioned primarily due to her arm.
People tend to forget her bat is an equally proficient weapon.
In what turned into a showcase for her versatility, DeMaio threw a three-hitter at home against Trumbull on Wednesday afternoon, finishing with three hits, including a game-breaking two-run homer, and four RBIs to spark an impressive 10-1 victory.
"She did a good job," said Nick DeMaio, who is both the Blue Wave's coach and Jessica's uncle. "I didn't think she had her best stuff but she held it together. Even when she doesn't have her best stuff she still gives you a good performance."
DeMaio tamed a Trumbull team that was coming off an 11-hit performance in an 8-7, 8-inning loss to Westhill on Monday. The Vikings and Darien meet Friday in one of the most highly anticipated games of the FCIAC regular season.
"I think Trumbull is a really good offensive team, but my defense helped me out a lot today," Jessica DeMaio said. "There were a lot of ground balls."
Two of the three changes in the Blue Wave's starting lineup from a year ago, when they won the FCIAC championship, are at the two middle infield positions. Perhaps the player most under a microscope is Erika Osherow, who has taken over at shortstop for Nicole Buch, who was one of the state's best players.
DeMaio, who struck out three and walked two, got 10 ground ball outs.
"Up the middle we are new, but they are very good athletes who cover a lot of ground," Nick DeMaio said of Osherow and second baseman Julia Domizano. And the corners are very good. (Third baseman Courtney) Bell has the best hands on the team."
Olivia Gozdz also had three hits and drove in a pair of runs for the Blue Wave (3-1), while Emma Hamilton added an RBI single.
Erica Quinones drove in the lone run for Trumbull (1-2), which has lost twice in a row to pitchers its coach, Charlie Judge, works with in the offseason -- DeMaio and Westhill's Allison Macari.
Darien struck for three runs in the second against the Eagles' Maddie Festa. Hamilton drew a leadoff walk and, one out later, Brittany Osborn singled to center and Kelly Vodola reached on a bunt to load the bases. Osherow's sacrifice fly made the score 1-0 and DeMaio and Gozdz followed with RBI singles.
DeMaio's home run over the left-field fence ignited a three-run fourth inning that made the score 6-0.
"I wasn't really looking to hit a home run, I was just looking to get a good swing on the ball and it hung up there too long and I got a good swing at it," Jessica DeMaio said.
Darien scored four more times in the sixth. DeMaio, Gozdz and Hamilton each drove in runs with base hits and another run came in when Osborn was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded.
"Losing a great player like Nicole is tough," Jessica DeMaio said. "She's hard to replace, but the new girls are really stepping up."
Nick DeMaio said it is too early in the season to get a good read on his team.
"I don't know how to gauge it yet," he said. "We had the loss to Masuk, but we've done what we've had to in the other games. I don't think we are at our peak yet."
Friday's game with Westhill, which also lost to Masuk, should prove a good indicator for both teams.
"It should be exciting," Jessica DeMaio said. "They are a good team with a lot of good players. It's a good friendly rivalry." | 2019-04-21T12:11:14Z | null | 356.9 | 3,471 | null | 0 | []

A GOP donor who once had ties to IBM is the man behind the millions of Twitter bots President Trump counts on as followers who could be employed to target voters with misleading or fake news on social media.
In order for it to work, the scheme relies on the quiet guidance of Robert Mercer, a reclusive Republican mega-donor and staunch Trump supporter, sources told the Daily News.
Mercer, who during the campaign with help from his daughter Rebekah, played a below-the-radar — but integral — role in raising money for Trump and connected him with critical figures like Stephen Bannon.
He's a former computer scientist who, decades ago, helped build the technology at IBM that the computer giant would later use to create its Watson super-computer. He also helped other companies like Apple form the basis for its Siri platform.
Trump, meanwhile, has accrued among his 30 million Twitter followers — 15 million of which are actually bots that experts have told the Daily News could be "weaponized" to spread fake and misleading news stories that favor the White House or distract from the scandals it now faces.
But with the subtle introduction of advanced technology, by individuals familiar with artificial intelligence, their effectiveness as it pertains to targeting users and interacting with them could escalate rapidly.
"Fooling humans into doing things in the electronic realm turned out to be really easy," said Simon Crosby, the chief technology officer at a firm called Bromium, pointing to well-documented campaigns that are thought to have influenced the 2016 presidential race and the Brexit referendum in the United Kingdom.
"But with a few extra steps that seem available in the right circles, it could get even easier," he added.
Some of the technology that's part of Watson, explained Crosby and two other computer scientists who preferred to keep their identifies private, can "quickly build, test and deploy bots or virtual agents across mobile devices or messaging platforms to create natural conversations between apps and users."
That technology is even built to understand a user's personality, tone and emotion and interact naturally with people.
"You have arbitrary and ridiculous information spread very quickly, and now to targeted user more susceptible to believing it and spreading it, and we now know that it influences people. We saw it in the election, with Brexit," he said.
"Ultimately, the problem is that anybody can talk to anybody, especially if 'anybody' is a bot on Twitter or Facebook who knows a lot about you."
All of the scientists were keen to point that such efforts would not be employed by Watson, an entity owned and patented by IBM.
Rather, they indicated, it would appear to make sense for a man familiar with its inner workings to draw on his own expertise to help hone a bot-operation for a political candidate.
While pretty much any one computer scientist with the right motives could help someone in the Trump camp do such a thing — most AI technology at this moment is open source and freely available online if one knows where to look — the proximity of Mercer to the Trump camp, in particular, raises questions.
Long before making his fortune at Renaissance Technologies, his current hedge fund, Mercer, 70, worked at IBM, where his name appeared on several patents and on in many publications and studies about "Brown clustering," which the computer giant used to create its Watson Artificial Intelligence systems.
Mercer did not respond to questions about his involvement with the Trump campaign.
Mercer, who helped get Breitbart News off the ground years ago with millions of dollars in donations, also invested at least $5 million in a firm called Cambridge Analytica, a small tech operation "that mines online data to reach and influence potential voters" and "uses secret psychological methods to pinpoint which messages are the most persuasive to individual online viewers," The New Yorker magazine reported earlier this year.
That kind of technology has already been employed in campaigns candidates whom Mercer supported, including Trump's, and could easily be used in future efforts to target voters on social media, Crosby said.
"We're in deep trouble in the sense that it's extraordinarily easy to automate a generation of arbitrarily absurd and ridiculous stuff," he said. | 2019-04-19T11:27:07Z | null | 340.4 | 4,345 | null | 0.449482 | [

You’ve met the Iron Giant, the Big Friendly Giant and the Selfish Giant. Now meet the Green Giant!
A young girl, Bea, and her dog, Iris, are staying with her grandad in the country. Bea is bored, but Iris’s adventures lead them to the small and rusty old greenhouse next door.
Inside the greenhouse, Bea finds… a giant. A giant made entirely of plants and greenery. Bea is scared, but the giant reassures her and explains that he has escaped from the grey city.
Bea and the giant become friends, but can they do anything to make the grey city, and the world, a greener place?
A brilliant new picture book that highlights our concern for the environment, greening our cities, guerrilla gardening and making the world a better place.

At the time, his wife, Mackenzie, had just revealed in a Teen Mom OG preview that she was pregnant with their first child together.
Officers on Monday took Ryan Christopher Edwards, a star of the reality show Teen Mom, into custody.
This is the second arrest Edwards has faced in recent months, and third overall.
Ryan was arrested and "booked on previous charge or other reason" at the Hamilton County Jail and held with no bond. In March 2017, he was arrested for possession of heroin and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Soon after his arrest, Teen Mom OG co-star and ex Maci Bookout filed for an order of protection against him that included her three children - Bentley, 9, whom she shares with Edwards, and her two sons with husband Taylor McKinney, Jayde, 3, and Maverick, 2.
He was adamant about remaining clean as per The Daily Mail by remarking, "Maci's said she's not going to film unless I enter rehab again and quit the show".
The news of Edwards' latest arrest comes shortly after another Teen Mom star, Jenelle Evans, allegedly pulled a gun on a man while in the vehicle with her 8-year-old son, Jace.
The reality star has struggled with heroin addiction. Us reported in November of 2017 that Standifer found out during a visit to Edwards in rehab that his main trigger is his relationship with Bookout.
Edwards is scheduled to appear in Red Bank Court on August 6th, 2018. Teen Mom OG airs on MTV. | 2019-04-18T17:03:45Z | null | 480.9 | 1,414 | null | 0.277228 | [

HP is getting ready to announce a revamped notebook lineup in the coming days and apparently some of it has been uncovered in advance courtesy of a pair of leaks. According to Engadget, an 18.4-inch desktop replacement will be heading the pack sporting one of the first mobile Core i7 processors, the 720QM, as well as 640GB of storage and 4GB of memory.
As detailed in a previously leaked Intel roadmap, the 1.6GHz quad-core chip will come with 6MB of cache, Hyper-threading support, and will scale up to 2.8GHz via Turbo Boost. Pricing for this system, dubbed Pavilion dv8, is listed at about 1,427 Euros (or the equivalent of $2,043).
Additionally HP will be launching two models using Intel's CULV processors, the 11.6-inch Pavilion dm1 and 13.3-inch dm3. Both will come with 1366 x 768 glossy displays, with the former boasting 2GB of RAM and a 320GB hard drive for the equivalent of $690 in Europe, and the latter double the memory and a larger 500GB hard drive for about $970. The Pavilion dm3 will also offer a cheaper AMD Neo flavor.
Last but certainly not least, HP is supposedly readying an Ion-powered netbook to be known as the Mini 311. This model will sport an 11.6-inch display, non-DX10 Nvidia Ion LE graphics and 1.6GHz N270 Atom processor, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive and a six cell battery. | 2019-04-20T16:25:18Z | null | 1,412.5 | 1,311 | null | 0 | []

Getting a Sharp-shinned feeling--small head, short neck, broad shoulders, narrow hips, tail feathers possibly even in length. But I just post IDs to get corrected.
In the field I thought it was a Sharp-shinned. It looked small and had a quick and snappy wingbeat. But the tail is not square.
Edit: I have no real experience with either species.
Looks good for Sharp-shinned to me.
As I understand it, what you need to look for is not whether the tail is square or rounded. It's whether the outer feathers are the same length as the central ones (Sharpie) or shorter than the central ones (Coop). Your shot is so distant I wasn't sure, but it looked to me as if the feathers were even in length. | 2019-04-23T02:58:53Z | null | 371.1 | 694 | null | 0 | []

A new study sheds new light on a disturbing practice of global fisheries — the killing of aquatic mammals to use as bait. Common victims include dolphins, otters, seals, and even some endangered species. The practice has received very little attention from the international community, researchers say.
Bycatch is a well-known and studied problem. It represents the incidental capture of dolphins, sea turtles, birds and other non-targeted species in fishing operations. But there’s another problem with fishing: that of bait. According to a new systematic review, the problem is much more widespread and dramatic than most people realize.
The study reports that more than 40 species of aquatic mammals have been utilized as bait since 1970 in 33 or more countries. In at least one big fishery, 80% of these species were deliberately killed to be used as bait. For instance, shark fisheries routinely kill dolphins and use their parts as bait for sharks.
The study’s lead author, Dr. Vanessa J. Mintzer from the University of Florida, says that there is very little information about this practice and how much wildlife it affects.
“Killing for use as bait is a primary threat affecting Amazon river dolphins, known as botos — the species and issue I have studied since my Ph.D. dissertation. With this global review we wanted to see whether, and where, other species were killed for bait, and learn about possible solutions to stop the problem,” says Dr. Mintzer.
Of course, it makes a lot of sense that this practice is kept under the lid. Killing animals for bait is, essentially, a clandestine activity. Even if it is legal, no one’s going to advertise it. So it’s not really surprising that the data about this practice is sparse at best — but this needs to change, Mintzer says. We don’t know how much of an impact it has, how widespread it is, and, especially in ecosystem hotspots, how many endangered creatures it threatens.
The study also urges authorities to take action. In many parts of the world, it’s not even illegal to kill marine mammals and use them as bait, and even where it is, not much action is taken to enforce this. Lastly, it’s up to the consumers as well as the local communities and businesses to push for sustainable fishery initiatives. Top-down implementation alone isn’t enough, we need to act on all levels of society. After all, how would you feel if you knew your meal was caught with dolphin or otter as bait? | 2019-04-24T23:08:47Z | null | 236.9 | 2,446 | null | 0.141864 | [

Type II Type IV ???
Here is a 10c Jefferson Stamp.
There are a few versions, some more valuable than others. What Do You Look For?
The first step in identifing this stamp is by first looking at the top right scrolls.
Is there any marks inside the scroll?
Is the paper "soft porous" or "hard paper"?
Soft Porous paper is less transparent than hard paper. When held to the light it ususally appears mottled, like newsprint.
Hello Lost. This is a great question. Please note this Washington issue is identified in a few different ways. The most obvious is the text: "TWO CENTS". Now that we know that much, the next step is to measure the perforation, first the top, from left to right; then the right side, from top to bottom. Perforations are key.
Is the perforations all-around the stamp? Maybe the perforations lie on it's top and bottom (vert. perf), left/right edge (hortz. perf), or no perf at all (imperf). Look at the images below to help you identify your perf style.
After you have sorted your stamps into one of the above perforation styles, all you need to do is a watermark test. A watermark test is where you apply a special watermarking fluid to the back of your stamp.... if there is a watermark in your stamp, you will see what appears to be a reverse image of the letters U S P S.
Look at the stamp above (Image A). You see a clear, reverse image of a double line watermark. Some times your watermark is not so clear. Look to the single line watermark image (Image B). You may get a stamp that has very little watermarking on your stamp. You must have patience, because this simple test could make your stamp more valuable than you know.
This stamp we are researching could have a double line, a single line, or nothing at all. After you sort you stamps once more, the work is done. Look at the follwoing table and see which stamp you have.
There is a line of color between the letters "P" and "O" of "Postage."
There is a strong line defining the curve of Washington's nose.
Washington has a clear double chin.
The inner frame of the portrait appears solid and unbroken from the toga to the hair braid.
The top line of the toga rope and button are strong, but the fifth diagonal line is missing.
The letters "P" and "O" of "Postage" are joined.
The shading lines of Washington's hair are heavy at top.
Washington's nose is not clearly defined.
The lines in Washington's chin have been slightly softened.
The inner frame of the portrait does not have a clear line of color separating it from design elements.
The top line of the toga, the button and all diagonal lines are clear.
Thare is a heavy, downward sloping line on Washington's mouth.
The horizontal line in the left numeral "2" is weak and almost always broken.
There was some distortion while creating the negative for these stamps, thus the design is not quite uniform. The width of the top portion of the design measures about .745 inches. The bottom, at .740, is slightly narrower.
All designe element characteristics are virtually identical to those of Type V, except the nose. There is a missing dot in the fifth row.
The horizontal line in the left numeral "2" is extremely thick and dark.
Numerous shading dots have been added to the top of Washington's head.
There are four horizontal rows of three dots on the upper lip.
The horizontal line of the left "2" is solid, but not as heavy as on Type VI.
There are fewer dots and lines in the ribbons and laurel leaves than all other types.
There is an overall light appearance to these stamps, with a lack of detail in hair shading.
The top line of the toga rope is usually incomplete and the fifth diagonal line is missing. | 2019-04-19T04:39:47Z | null | 399.6 | 3,654 | null | 0 | []

HIS SEASON MAY have ended in heartbreak as Aston Villa were beaten emphatically in the FA Cup final, but Given can take encouragement on the whole from a campaign where he regained the number one jersey for Tim Sherwood’s side.
While he may not have hit the heights of the previous season, Coleman was still solid enough for Everton, as reflected by the fact that he was Ireland’s highest points scorer in Fantasy Football for the second successive season.
Had a few bad moments, but O’Shea still emerged with credit overall, as Sunderland escaped relegation once again.
Made 26 appearances for Stoke in total, though worryingly, Wilson struggled to earn a place in the side towards the end of the campaign.
Perhaps the most underrated Irish player in the Premier League, another good season for Delaney was reflected by the fact that he signed a contract extension with Crystal Palace recently.
Endured disappointment with Hull, as the Tigers were relegated, though Brady impressed to the extent that he is being linked with a swift return to the Premier League – Norwich are understood to be interested in signing the 23-year-old.
It was a frustrating, injury-interrupted campaign for James McCarthy, however the Everton midfielder did show some promising form, particularly towards the end of the season.
For all his critics, Whelan is one of the few players in the Irish squad with vast Premier League experience. He may not be pretty to watch, but Whelan proved effective as he helped Stoke secure another mid-table finish.
Another who had to endure the disappointment of relegation with Hull, Quinn is still a tidy, accomplished player that Martin O’Neill may contemplate starting against Scotland. That said, having made only 16 starts for the Tigers, it was a far from vintage season for the 29-year-old midfielder.
Despite Southampton’s excellent season, this campaign could be described as inconsistent at best for Long, as evidenced by the fact that he had as many league appearances from the bench as starts (16).
Subs: Rob Elliot, Paul McShane, Joey O’Brien, David Meyler, Aiden McGeady, Reece Grego-Cox.
Darron Gibson and Ciaran Clark are both injured, but would otherwise be eligible for the bench and the starting line-up respectively.

APA | What has Branch Council been up to in 2018?
Home » What has Branch Council been up to in 2018?
Essentially four ‘new’ models of CTP were presented and a ‘no faults’ scheme was chosen. Under this scheme all injured parties are entitled to compensation for injury for up to five years. Up to $5000 will be made available for treatment for up to six months after an accident. This model will go straight to legislation. Roy also attended an APA national insurance summit in Melbourne in July so the ACT was well represented.
In September, Jenny Robertson from our APA office and I met with Liberal MLA and shadow health minister Vicki Dunne to talk about the APA and our mission in Canberra. She proved to be a good listener and was very receptive to our messages with respect to the potential capacity for healthcare delivery in physiotherapy (and other allied health professions).
She was interested that we had made a submission to the committee for sustainable health and followed that up. At the time she also expressed interest in meeting with National Health Service physiotherapy innovation leaders during her November visit to London. It was a good meeting and follows the one we had with the Labour MLA and minister for health, Meegan Fitzharris, last year.
As many of you will know, Branch Council and all of the groups have worked tirelessly this year to deliver a large number of education opportunities to the ACT. There are too many to mention here but we hope you have enjoyed them and we welcome feedback about our program for next year as well as compliments for what we have achieved so far.
We have two new groups in Canberra: the Paediatric group, chaired by Caroline O’Mahoney, APAM, and the Neurology group, chaired by Debbie Douglas, APAM. If you are interested in joining any of our groups or talking to the chairs, contact Jenny Robertson ([email protected]) and she will put you in touch.
Finally, our membership is flourishing and now totals 736. Our student councillors are doing a brilliant job promoting the importance of the APA to the profession at University of Canberra, and public sector membership is rising. | 2019-04-25T20:49:12Z | null | 485.6 | 2,164 | null | 0 | []

After listening to a blogger explain why he deleted a double digit percentage of his blog posts, I came across numerous blog posts by other big blogs that had done the same.
The more he went on to explain why he had done it though, the more sense it made to me. In fact, I had a few aha moments and was determined to do the same on a few of my blogs. Especially this one.
One of the reasons I only do one post per week on this blog is because I want to make great posts. Sure I could pay someone $5 and have them write a post for me, but it would be just that: a $5 post.
No one would care to read it. Even if they did read it, the odds of them finding it useful and maybe even sharing it on their social outlets are pretty much none existent. In other words, it just doesn’t make any logical sense for me to put cheap content on this site.
Which is why – when I started this “one post per week” challenge in October of last year – I decided I was much better off doing one quality post instead of two half decent ones or five garbage ones.
I like the ability to link back to old posts and feel good about my friends reading them. I want people to get interested in me as a blogger no matter what post of mine they read.
I didn’t always have that philosophy. So some of my earliest posts on EmpireMarketing.ca (which is now this blog), were totally irrelevant. Or they were short 200 word announcements etc. Nothing someone could have read today and fallen in love with me over.
So what did I do? I deleted them and then permanently (301) redirected the URLs of the original posts to something that is more relevant today. This will not only improve the user experience, but will hopefully help me funnel more linkjuice at relevant posts that deserve it.
UPDATE: It’s been 5 days since I deleted the old posts and redirected the URLs to newer more relevant posts. Looking at my rank checker, my overall rankings just dropped drastically. This is apparently quite common when you do this. In one case a whole blog apparently got deindexed as a result. In all cases they came back stronger than before though… so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
I haven’t actually done this (yet) but the next step for me is to work through older posts and update them.
The whole idea is to keep them relevant. All I will do though is go through the post, make sure it is still up to par (tweak if not) and then update the publish date.
When you do a search in Google, you will see a lot of search results have a date attached to them. I haven’t tested this yet, but it is said that Google will give newer stuff more exposure than old stuff just because people prefer “more recent” information.
As such, it is commonly recommended that bloggers update their old content at least once every two years or so. Which is exactly what I plan on doing – starting next week.
I actually shot a short video for you that explained this whole thing in better detail. Turns out I had some sand dust inside my iphone camera though which resulted in the HD video being super blurry.
Will be contacting Apple soon to get that fixed, but point is: No video this week.
I will however keep you posted on the development of the above experiment. Deleting so many posts seems like the opposite of what one should do, but am optimistic the positive outcome will make up for it.
Stay tuned for Part 2 of this case study. | 2019-04-24T22:28:07Z | null | 505.3 | 3,378 | null | 0 | []

With the 20-year anniversary of Bill’s Bus coming up, we checked out the best and worst parts of riding on Bill’s Bus as an alternative to taking a cab downtown Thursday nights.
“When you are driving college kids around, there is bound to be someone who gets sick,” said owner Craig Jenkins, who bought the business seven years ago from Bill Singer. Jenkins took over the business with no stoppage in service from Singer after Singer handed him the keys to the business and the bus.
Sick passengers are common, especially since Bill’s Bus specializes in transporting potentially drunk people from Isla Vista to downtown Santa Barbara and back.
But the job doesn’t seem to bother the drivers.
“When someone is sick, we provide trash bags and if they spill we clean it up immediately, thus preventing anything worse,” said Jenkins.
Bill’s Bus charges ten dollars for a round trip downtown, where they drop passengers off at State Street and Gutierrez, and seven dollars for a one-way trip. On the other hand, paying to take a taxi could cost up to 30 dollars one-way. Taking the MTD bus would seem like an even better deal since it’s free for UC Santa Barbara students, but MTD doesn’t travel that late. The latest bus trip, according to their website, is from the transit center to UCSB North Hall at 10:10 p.m.
Taking into consideration time for loading-up and dropping-off, Bill’s Bus takes just as long as driving and you don’t have to search for parking or find a sober friend.
Jenkins says the busiest time of the year for the bus is in the spring and the busiest night of the week is Thursday. He also cares about the students and their safety when he says that the importance of the bus is to keep kids from drinking and driving.
“It’s best attribute is that it is a great way to drink responsibly and they make it a really fun and entertaining trip downtown,” said UCSB fourth year History major Tina Hatano.
Although Thursday nights are the busiest and the bus is packed, Bill’s Bus has multiple buses running the same route to accommodate the demand.
“We always get everyone home safely, and we always have enough buses to take everyone” said Jenkins.
Other stops Bill’s Bus includes are trips to Old Town Tavern for drinks and Karaoke or to Zodo’s Bowling and Beyond for a night of strikes and spares.
“Wednesday nights are discounted to five dollars, and we go to Old Town Tavern and Zodo’s,” said Jenkins.
Bills Bus leaves Embarcadero Hall on Wednesdays at 10 and 11 p.m., and on Thursdays and Saturdays at 9:30, 10:30 and 11:30 p.m. The bus also travels on Tuesday and Friday nights. | 2019-04-20T12:36:27Z | null | 536.1 | 2,596 | null | 0 | []

#Audio. #OpenLetter My annual letter to the man with the bag.
So many of my friends this year are making posts and comments about how they wish the holidays didn’t have to be so stressful and commercial, or how things were more fun when they had money. And I get it, I do, because I’ve succumbed to that push to be the perfect host and felt the pang of not being able to get my husband the Big Thing he really wants or telling him not to get me the Big Thing I really want. | 2019-04-21T04:11:58Z | null | 374.8 | 473 | null | 0 | []

In order to make a proposal to the Bush Foundation, we drew on ideas from college retreats in the past three years, ongoing LSP [Licensed School Professional] conversations, national trends, and our own candidate feedback via surveys and interviews to put together the overarching design principles for this work. These have been presented publicly a few times, and nothing much has changed in recent weeks. All of these commitments are at this broad level at this point, so there is still a lot of decision making to be done on structure and practice.
FIRE will continue to apprise Torch readers of further developments as they happen. | 2019-04-21T08:10:31Z | null | 270.5 | 636 | null | 0 | []

Yesterday I wrote about clean slates. About emptying my plate – this notion of starting each week without carry-forwarded-burden from previous week’s work.
To break it down – chunk it down – into action steps.
Recognizing this isn’t a weekly problem.
Day-to-day, every day, unfinished business carried forward. Little bits add up to too many bits of today shoved over to tomorrow. This has become habit/normal.
This isn’t a matter of some little engine saying “I think I can”.
Too much today, too much more tomorrow. By the end of the week and overwhelmed feeling of having an underwhelming week.
If I make a DAILY difference then I may have a WEEKLY chance for genuine change.
Today, for many the burden of self-doubt and insecurity will be lifted by the security and confidence of empowerment. Why not you?

Agreed. I've noticed that the experience on the Elite line which I almost only call to make reservations when needing to use Platinum override has degraded this year. More menus, longer time to reach a person, and anecdotally sometimes less capable assistance.
If Marriott provided a means to book using Platinum override on the web site or App I would book directly instead of calling but as far as I know this still requires speaking to a person.
I've used the number that's on the App. It takes forever to get a call answered and no mention of being a platinum line. In fact, is sounds like a foreign call center. It's more than a little frustrating.
flaav8r I've tagger the communitymanagers for your thread.
We are sorry to hear about your recent experience. If you would be willing to fill out one of our Customer Support requests and attach the folios we will be happy to work on your behalf to add the missing stay to your account.
"There was an unexpected error submitting your request. Please send the Community Manager a direct message."
We are sorry to hear this has happened on top of everything else you have been managing. We have sent you a direct message to assist further. May we ask what browser you are using?
i agree - as a platinum premier member i find it ridiculous that it is impossible for me to get any sort of customer service. i have been a loyal marriott customer for over 10 years primarily because of the great customer service. it takes years to build a great reputation, but only moments to destroy it. i think marriott has taken their eye off the ball. whoever is managing the spg integration has clearly bitten off more than he/she can chew.
YES - as a Lifetime Platinum Elite using Marriott Platinum telephone number in June 2018 they have put me on lengthy telephone holds (over 30 minutes twice, and over an hour added call) to answer a simple request and never resolved the issue - gave up. Miss the old Platinum service by telephone.
Totally agree, it is now on par w/ ATT, the worst ever. What's up w/ the French option, really?
It takes forever to speak w/ someone, voice system is unresponsive half the time, frustrating to say the least. So much for being in the hospitality business. Unfortunately I doubt there is no turning back on this, and it is an effort to save $ and drive us to booking online.
It's awful....I have called twice this week and today hung up after 10 minutes. I am really tired of bad service. I am really tired of being loyal to Marriott and being treated like it doesn't matter.
There was an unexpected error submitting your request. Please send the Community Manager a direct message.
When I asked to speak with a supervisor, she transfered me to the same standard automated system.
I did speak to a rep today who said there is no longer a Platinum dedicated line nor are there plans to add one. Only had a nine minute wait!!!
What happened to Marriott's commitment to customer service. It will be an interesting response when they ask their members to vote for them for the Freddy Award.
Also tried the reservations line. Same recording; same long wait. I gave up.
I agree this voice-response system is a slap in the face to those who have been loyal to Marriott over the years. I have been staying almost exclusively with Marriott properties and a part of their rewards program since it was called Marquis. The long waits, annoying voice-response system, phone disconnects, and lack of the Platinum Elite line has made me consider whether I should try calling another hotel while I wait for the Marriott people to answer. I am so sorry to see their service drop like this.
Although I haven't had the need to call customer service on the Platinum Premier Line, I am saddened to hear what's happening here. Glad the Community Managers appear to be on top of it.
I had to call the SLC number and got dropped twice. I thought it was just me. Whew! It has been an interesting year as Marriott members.
Guess I've always gotten the shared line as I can't recall ever getting what I would consider Platinum Level Customer Service when I've called in. So my experience has pretty much always been lousy.
I've been a Lifetime Platinum Premier member, likely since the designation was created. The Marriott Rewards program is a loyalty program. For over 30 years I've been very loyal to Bill & J.W. and in return they've treated me very, very well. But now, for the last 3 months, I'm feeling like I've been kicked in the teeth. I used to get a representative on the line in 2 minutes, on a busy day, and now its simply impossible, even after 30 minute waits. This was tolerable for a month, perhaps 2. But at 3 and with the agents I've spoken to at a loss for words about the situation, and offering no indication of a resolution on the horizon. I've moved on to Hilton and others until this situation is rectified. I guess that's the ultimate benefit of being Lifetime PP, the ability to step away until Marriott renews their respect for Platinum status.
Totally agree, the deducted line experience is not promising with MR. they need to follow up. Hope they can lessen carefully from the insiders her.
I called the Platinum Elite line today and it was TERRIBLE. I waited for more than 50 minutes to speak to someone. I needed to extend a current reservation by 1 day. I recently made the reservation and wanted to see if they would honor the same rate or something even remotely similar. The rate online was $100 more than when I booked it a couple weeks ago. In the end, they said they wouldn't do anything. I'm not even leaving my room, but get to pay $100 more to sleep there. Boy, it really pays to have earned Platinum Elite status for life. After over 1,000 nights in their hotels, you'd think they would be more accommodating. Any suggestions on another chain that values their loyal customers?
Please note that calling the hotel directly, they gave me a $20 better rate than the website offered. If anyone experiences what i did, they may want to try that...or stay with a different chain altogether.
I am disgusted with what they have done to the Platinum number - they took a great service and turned it into a debacle, just called AGAIN and it rang 30 times then hung up on me! This is a portent of the things to come I'm afraid. Use your points now as tomorrow they will be as precious as the Platinum phone line. Does anyone have an effective way we can make these jerks take notice of what they have done?
Not much other than continue to make noise...send complaints to Arne...generally bash on Social Media. The bottomline: all mergers are messy, complicated, and repleat with frustrations for everyone. Hopefully all will settle down in September/October. Until then, there is not much to be done.
It's getting better. I made two calls this week. Once and 8 minute wait and one answered promptly.
I've heard both hot and cold on the call in issue lately, but I agree with you, I think it is getting better. However, I'm also concerned that the Merger is going to take it a step backwards again until all the dust settles. Hopefully we can quickly turn that corner.
I called the SPG Platinum line yesterday. Had to press several buttons to get to speak to a real person who promptly said in reply to my question "everythings changing with the merger and we just don't know". That should perhaps be just put on as an answer phone message!
on hold platinum line for 17 minutes, then answered by a less than sympathetic support person. Rewards member for 34 years, lifetime platinum elite status. she said once the voice prompt hears your category of question, it kicks you into the general population of holding callers. She didn't know if there is going to be a dedicated platinum priority line going forward or whether this was just a growing pain. Very sad. I'm loyal to M because of their customer service and will be watching this very carefully over the coming weeks.
On hold for platinum right now... 38 minutes and counting. Already booked with another resort online while I waited, but hanging here to see how long it can possibly take. Ended up here from SPG and it hasn't gone well.
ETA: Still on hold, 55 mins.
I am a lifetime Premier Platinum Elite Rewards member and have been a loyal Marriott customer for over 23 years. I've experienced excellent service from both Marriott corporate and for the most part, from most of the properties I've stayed. Today that all changed. The poor and unacceptable experience and customer service I received at the Vail Marriott and Resort was the worst of my 23 years with Marriott. It has taken me literally 6 hours and 5 phone calls (1 to the property and 4 to Marriott Customer Care) to get my issue resolved in a below satisfactory manner.
Understanding merging 3 loyalty programs and 3 systems is a challenge, to not foresee the possible issues with merger and to have staffed accordingly is unacceptable. All the previous phone numbers I have for Platinum Elite, route you to central reservations (not Elite reservations) and they have to transfer you to Platinum Customer Care. The IVR system only recognizes reservation requests, so you have to ask for reservations and then once connected, 1-2 minutes later, you have to ask for Platinum Customer Care or Reservations. They are supposed to have Platinum Elite only phone numbers for Reservations and Customer Service (not just reservations). However, there is no mention of the number on the website or in the "Elite Benefits" section of the website.
Come on Marriott, you have in the past and can do better.
I agree with everyone's disappointment. The Platinum Elite line was the one perk that I really enjoyed and used for business travel. Current customer service is deplorable! I called twice this week, fought the exhausting automated options (with no success) to reach a live person. After long waits both times, I was finally connected to agents that spoke such broken English I could not understand them. Thus, I still never resolved my issue. I hope Mr. Marriott and other top-level administration are listening before the alienation of their "most-valued" customers is irreversible.
I now have 10 different Plat Premier telephone numbers. Apparently, there is only one Elite number that is for all status levels. They have an "assist" desk, a "loyalty" desk and other desks. I want to know what number I can call reliably to reach an agent who is knowledgeable. Anyone have that number?
Use the one on the back of your card. The Platinum Premier line and Ambassador line are the only ones I know of that don't have a shared line access.
I have never received a physical members card since I joined the program 4 years ago. I just assumed it was all done electronically through the app.
Perhaps you should ask Marriott to send you a Membership card ([email protected] or [email protected]). Verify that they have your information correct on your Marriott.Com profile to receive the card via mail. Your address should be recorded under your Profile, Personal Information section. We're not sure whether Marriott will be issuing cards via Mail in the future, or simply doing the electronic card via the App.
I can confirm that this is now awful. I am lifetime Platinum Premier Elite and I just called both the Platinum Premier reservations line and the guest services # on the back of my card. The reservations # was several minutes into some pitch about the new program when I hung up. I called the guest services line where I used to have a person answer immediately. This time a computer attendant called and tried in every way to keep me from an attendant. When I failed to promptly provide it with my reservation number, it hung up on me. I called back and after several minutes I was able to navigate the system to get transferred to an operator...well I was transferred onto hold. Several minutes later the Marriott system hung up on me. If this is what Marriott's elite customers get, I can't imagine what lower tier members get. Yikes! Definitely devalues the status.
When did all this happen. I just called the Plat Elite Line (at 8:45 PM) and was speaking to an associate within 2 minutes and 13 seconds. that's my third immediate connection in 3 days. I do believe that things are better. The number that I used was 800-399-4229.
I called the Platinum Elite number yesterday around 7:00 pm, normally a busy time, and got a person in less than two minutes. That was my best response since spring! Did I get lucky or is Marriott actually making progress? I have been seeing gradual improvement for a while, now, so I hope that they have turned a corner. I had noticed some improvement in August and then it got worse but yesterday was a delightful surprise!
Wow, it only continues to get worse! I'm lifetime platinum and have 120 nights this year. I called the number to cancel a reservation. They cancelled the wrong reservation and of course at a hotel that is sold out. I called back to get it fixed and they say there's nothing they can do, so I guess I'm fudged. I was already check in online to the hotel and they cancelled. Unbelievable and they could careless. I recommend doing what I'm doing and find a status match on a hotel chain that cares like Hyatt and Hilton.
Thanks for the 20 years Marriott!
Agreed. I called the Elite line just the other night to ask a simple question regarding a hotel that is scheduled to open March 2019 (I wanted to know when the property will open for reservations) and listening to the CSR try and answer the question was incredibly awkward, borderline painful. Call me spoiled but I'm used to dealing with the Amex Platinum Concierge line and when comparing their CSR's to Marriott's Elite CSR's it's...a noticeable difference. | 2019-04-21T12:08:09Z | null | 559.6 | 13,796 | null | 0.015367 | [

1 What am I? I could be a mountain. I could be a hill. I have a crater on top. It looks like a cup. Ash and lava erupt from me. I'm a volcano.
2 Volcanoes are found in many places. Some are in the United States. Some are in Africa. Some are in South America. Volcanoes are all over the world. A volcano may erupt. When it does, hot lava and ash shoot out of it. The lava flows like a river. Some volcanoes erupt often. Others erupt only one time.
3 Some people call one volcano their home. Tristan da Cunha is an island. It is in the Atlantic Ocean. The island is also a volcano. It is halfway between South Africa and South America. It is over one thousand two hundred miles away from any other land.
4 Tristan da Cunha is small. It is controlled by the British. In 1816, three men decided to live there. One's name was William Glass. He set up a constitution of laws. Other people came. Some came because of shipwrecks. Some just wanted to settle there. The number of people on the island grew. Today, there are around three hundred people living there. | 2019-04-22T18:48:49Z | null | 152.1 | 1,055 | null | 0 | []

Ruben Diaz is the kosher chef at Masbia Soup Kitchen Network. The network has three locations: two are in Brooklyn – Borough Park andFlatbush, and the third is located at 98-08 Queens Boulevard, Rego Park, which garners the heaviest volume of food insecure visitors served by the network.
Diaz was born and raised in Colombia and came to New York City while still a young man, like so many other immigrants who arrived in the city before him. He had very little financial resources and no relatives here who could help him find his way. A decade later, his occupation has become his life’s calling. While he pursues the American dream, he has helped so many others by making it his mission to see to it that they do not go away hungry.
If you would like to get involved or to find out more about Masbia of Rego Park, call 718-972-4446, ext. 207, or email [email protected].
QG: You are a native of Colombia. When did you arrive in New York City and why? Where in Queens do you now call home?
Masbia Chef Ruben Diaz.RD: I arrived in the US in 2005, at age 19, with only the $100 my father gave me. First I settled in Jackson Heights among its Colombian population, but I now live in Ozone Park with my wife.
QG: What is your background? How did you hear about the chef’s position at Masbia?
RD: Since I got to New York, I worked as a dishwasher, on construction jobs, painting houses, and as a waiter inManhattan. Masbia Queens Executive Director Alexander Rapaport offered me the job as soup kitchen coordinator in the Masbia Borough Park location, and after a couple of years, he saw my great interest in providing healthy and nutritious meals to the needy. So, he decided to put the organization’s kitchen into my hands. I attended a kosher culinary school for a year. That’s been very challenging to me, to learn all the kosher rules about food preparation and keeping a kosher kitchen. It took time, but I’ve mastered it now.
Masbia Chef Ruben Diaz, With Masbia Queens Executive Director Alexander Rapaport.QG: What is so different, special even, about Masbia’s soup kitchen network compared to others in the metro area?
RD: What’s different about Masbia is that it is open to all. We don’t ask for identification or any other proof of need. We just require a person’s signature to get a meal. In Rego Park, we offer a person or a family healthy meals brought to their table by our volunteer waiters. We have restaurant-styled seating and décor. We want to send people home happy. They are dealing with enough problems if they come in to us for their dinner at the end of a long, tough day.
QG: The heaviest volume of people who are food insecure go through Masbia’s Rego Park dining facility. How many people have you served there per year?
RD: Three years ago in Rego Park, we served 300 meals per day. To compare our volume in recent years, in 2013, we served annually 182,662 people; in 2014, 507,984 people; and last year for 2015, we had 792,080 people come in for a nourishing, comforting dinner (we don’t serve breakfast or lunch). So you can see how the demand for our meals has risen dramatically during the tough economy.
Since its opening in March 2010, well over 100,000 individuals have also benefited from the weekly food pantry program. To the present day, Masbia of Queens has provided well over one million meals to the men, women and children who live in the surrounding neighborhoods. Masbia is a kosher-certified kitchen, but serves patrons of all denominations and ethnicities, and various celebrities and public officials have come to volunteer. Masbia mainly relies on private donations, with only 10 percent of its funds coming from the government.
QG: Are there many individuals or families who have come from outside the area, in your estimation?
RD: Our best estimate is that some 70 percent of our customers are from Rego Park, with about 30 percent from outside the area, including the borough of Brooklyn.
QG: Masbia in Queens serves its clientele at the table while providing a homey restaurant atmosphere, unlike most other soup kitchens. Why is it set up like a restaurant? Do you think this accounts for the heavy volume at Rego Park, besides your good cooking, of course?
Park was planned to lift people’s spirits, get them out of a depression due to loss of work, or family problems, even problems at school that young people deal with nowadays. We serve all ages and backgrounds of people. Our meals offer them some temporary comfort in a welcoming atmosphere. We treat them as our guests, serve them a good dinner, and send them on their way to hopefully, better circumstances. We sometimes notice that we haven’t seen our “regulars” and sometimes hear from them personally that their lives have changed for the better, and they’re back to work, or in school preparing for the future, and how much we meant to them during the bad times.
QG: Does Masbia need lots of volunteers to help to serve meals each week, or especially at certain holidays?
RD: Yes, we couldn’t function without our great army of volunteers. There are only two staff members at Masbia in Rego Park, who are the soup kitchen coordinators. We have some 35-50 volunteers help us per day (we are closed on Fridays and Saturdays) and an average of 160 volunteers per week, who provide greatly needed and appreciated help with serving dinners, washing floors, washing dishes, pots, pans, cleaning and helping in the kitchen and dining rooms in big and little ways. On Thursdays, our customers come in and pick up their own dinner packages out of the 700 packages prepared by our volunteers to tide people over at the end of the week when we’re not open. We refuse to let them go hungry just because we’re closed. Each volunteer logs two hours a day, with all of our volunteers combined giving an average 400 hours per week of their time.
RD: My wife and I really like the Rego Park and Forest Hills neighborhoods. We’ll go to the Queens Mall, to Jackson Heights for the Colombian food, to Flushing Meadows Corona Park, where I enjoy soccer, and we love to head out to Rockaway Beach in the summer.

ST JOHN'S, Antigua (CMC) — The Antigua and Barbuda government is seeking a meeting with senior officials of the Bank of Nova Scotia by January 7 next year to discuss the sale of the bank's branch holdings on the island.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne has sent a letter to Scotiabank's branch manager here, Suzan Snaggs-Wilson, inviting the competent authorities to discuss the sale proposal.
Last month, the Trinidad-based Republic Financial Holdings Limited (RFHL) announced that it is seeking to acquire Scotiabank operations in several Caribbean countries.
Antigua and Barbuda and Guyana have expressed reservations about the proposed acquisition, with St John's indicating that it would not be issuing a vesting order to facilitate the move.
In his December 13 letter, Prime Minister Browne said that the proposed meeting would be between high officials of the Bank of Nova Scotia and representatives of a “consortium comprising the Government, local banks and other qualified and competent local institutions” desirous of purchasing Scotiabank's branch holdings in Antigua.
“The purpose of the meeting would be to discuss the parameters of the sale which would not necessarily exclude participation by any regional entity approved by the Government and the regulatory authorities”.
In the letter in which he outlined the government's position on the proposed sale, Prime Minister Browne said that his administration wanted to make it “clear that its primary concern is to build resilience in the local banking sector and reduce its vulnerability to de-risking strategies employed by foreign owned entities that weaken our national capacity to participate in the global financial and trading system effectively.
“It is important that the ownership of the vital banking sector be re-balanced to improve the strength and capacity of local shareholding. This in no way affects foreign-owned banks that now operate in Antigua and Barbuda,” Browne said in the letter, which was also copied to the RFHL chairman.
Browne also said that the Bank of Nova Scotia's decision to sell its branch holdings “provides the opportunity for strengthening the local banking sector, improving their members' resilience, and enhancing the nation's utilisation of its own wealth, including keeping profits at home for re-investment in economic growth and social development”.
The Suriname-based CARICOM Competition Commission (CCC) has already said that any impact the proposed acquisition of Scotiabank by RFHL would be assessed in accordance with the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas (RTC) that governs the regional integration movement.
The CCC, which was established by Article 171 of the RTC, is mandated to promote and protect competition within the Community and according to its chairman, Justice Christopher Blackman, in its monitoring of business activity in the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), it has taken note of the planned sale. | 2019-04-19T21:25:54Z | null | 244.8 | 2,929 | null | 0.341072 | [

By 8:30 p.m., Mohawk Council of Kahnawake lawyer Murray Marshall’s summary of the Kahnawake Cannabis Control Lawseemed a distant memory.
From 6:30 p.m. on, the majority of Tuesday’s Community Decision-Making Process (CDMP) meeting at Karonhianónhnha School involved heavy criticism directed at council and the cannabis working group.
Council chief Rhonda Kirby, along with Marshall, Ron Skye, Dennis Diabo and Joe Delaronde, sat at the front of the room along with Leslie Skye, and took a volley of questions, mostly revolving around lack of consultation in drafting the law.
By Thursday, it was unclear whether it was going ahead or not.
Derek Montour from KSCS and Dwayne Zacharie are also part of the working group, but were not at Tuesday’s meeting.
Though Kahnawake Legislative Coordinating Commission (KLCC) administrator Leslie Skye asked participants to fill out forms regarding categorization of the law (Type II) or the process, that topic dominated the entire meeting.
“That’s the biggest topic here, and it needs to be discussed, big time,” said one participant, shortly after Skye made the announcement.
“The concern with a lot of us here is that the community did not have a chance to have input into this law,” said Jeremiah Johnson.
Kwe’tí:io Goodleaf, who owns Greenleaf, which has been shut down three times by the Peacekeepers, repeatedly criticized the CDMP process.
Ron Skye gave a history lesson at the meeting about why council uses the CDMP process, and why it’s important to be involved in the process when legislation is first proposed.
“We went through this whole process with the community – extensive consultation – and we designed it this way, we modified it, there were changes to it to try and shorten it,” he said.
Council chief Gina Deer, along with Ron Skye, spoke several times in the meeting about the need for regulations for health and safety reasons.
The tobacco industry’s lack of regulation was cited several times Tuesday as a situation council is keen on avoiding.
“Why we’re doing it now is because Canada is legalizing the product and people in Kahnawake want a free for all, like tobacco. They want to be able to do whatever they want without regulation,” said Deer.
Without regulatory control, Skye argued, people will take advantage of the industry for personal game.
“We have to be vigilant from a public safety perspective not to let this happen,” he said.
In addition, proponents of the law said they do not want a “Tyendinaga situation,” where the community hosts around 50 unregulated dispensaries.
“The whole point is not to have 200 dispensaries on the 138 and 132,” said Kirby.
The vast majority of the roughly 75 attendees Tuesday were not regulars at past CDMP meetings, including those related to the cannabis law.
Some criticized the Mohawk Council for creating a law for its own financial gain.
Council grand chief Joe Norton spoke a handful of times about the future reality when cannabis will be legal (October 17), and the fact that certain outside regulations apply in Kahnawake, such as driver’s permits.
Johnson suggested, as he did in a letter to the editor in last week’s Eastern Door, a referendum of whether the community would approve of council drafting the law.
Norton did not object to the idea of a referendum, but added a caution.
Goodleaf and others left the meeting satisfied that their position was heard.
“Tonight, the council had a big surprise that everyone in the room didn’t want this law at all. They wanted big changes to it,” said Goodleaf.
She admitted she does not vote and hadn’t attended previous CDMP meetings, but went to find out what was going on, and was happy to see so many people attend.
The Eastern Door asked Goodleaf if there is a way to move forward.
“Time has taught us that the control is almost getting away from us, and I think people are smarter and making smarter decisions because they’re more informed,” she said.
The Eastern Door asked a community member, who did not speak at the meeting, why they attended, and they responded that they wanted to be informed about the law and cannabis industry.
Did they get more information, they were asked.“No. I saw a fight,” the community member said. | 2019-04-22T04:34:55Z | null | 369.3 | 4,205 | null | 0 | []

During the past 2015, global instability has strengthened. We’ve all heard about wild terrorist attacks, multiplied by wars, raw economics collapses. The countries that were regarded to be prosperous showed their unattractive sides. What were the last 12 months about? What is 2016 preparing for us?
Curiously enough, on the first site nothing particularly outstanding happened here. In spite of FRS threats to tighten rates (and that finally happened on the level that didn’t influence anything mostly), other countries market rates remained more or less consistent. In the US, monetary tightening lead to a slight rates increase, but did not reach their peaks as of 2013 to 2014. The Treasuries yield didn’t rise more than 2.5% while at the beginning of 2014 it was at 3% level.
Exactly the same is true for other government bonds. The interest rate for the UK, other European countries (in Euro zone) and Japan did not change compared to 2014, despite the currency emission fact by the Central Banks of the latter two. A noticeable reduction of interest rates happened in China, however, due to Central Bank quantitative easing and developing deflation. The Russian 10 year bonds interest rates also dropped from 14% to 10% in 2015, but as the oil prices go down, the rates grow.
Just the opposite happened on the markets where negative processes took on in the past year. Brazil is standing out here with growing political crisis – President is on the verge of impeachment, mass corruption scandal, etc. – and hardest ever economic crisis. The percents went up to the level of 2008 and that’s not the end. Of course, other countries had their portion of “fun” as well, like South Africa where Ministers of Finance were changed twice in one week. The rates reached the peaks of 2008 and threaten to establish new highs.
Low-rated borrowers corporate bonds fill another segment of the monetary market that is going to suffer a lot. These assets were the first ones to benefit of the soft monetary policies of world Central Banks (including the US). The reliable assets yield was almost zero and investors were looking for some greater than zero profit. Thus, they were more willing to buy securities of dubious quality. Oil prices huge decline caused great problems for small slate miners at the end of 2014. In 2015, the problems intensified and spread across to all the junk sector so that the rates reached the peaks of 2009. Hence, the series of bankruptcies. And the process is only at its start as large funds, experiencing their portion of losses due to investments into junk bonds, cut them off even damaging themselves but avoiding total collapse in the near future.
Market prospects in 2016 depend on many factors. Avoiding speaking about Third World War and other threats of this kind, it’s clear that FRS monetary regulation will become the main influencer. The plans are not yet obvious, but the recent Fed forecasts include four rate increases in 2016. At the same time, we can remember that the previous plan was to have 5 to 6 rate tightening and the market behaves as if those four were also far from possible. Poor macroeconomics led traders to prepare for two interest increases – once half a year. The market obviously reflects the situation. If it becomes better, the yield will get higher producing similar dynamics in other regions. If it becomes worse, the interest will be dropped. The trick is that there are no visible prospects of anything better than stagnation.
US dollar continued growing at the beginning of 2015 – but the process lasted only until the end of the first quarter. Then the dollar (and other major currencies) entered the float phase leaving with even hands as a result. During the year, the yen and the Swiss franc almost did not change; the pound fell slightly, while the euro fell remarkably. At the same time, that happened at the start of 2015 and by the end of the year there was no dynamics visible. It may seem that the US dollar course correction will continue – but then it is probable to resume the upward trend which may last up until 2017 or longer.
Commodity currencies (Australian, Canadian, New Zealand dollar, etc.) had a much worse experience. They have significantly fell down compared to their US peer. Emerging markets currencies looked even gloomier: Brazilian real necked down in half, Argentina’s new government had to devalue the peso consistently, etc. Yuan was caught by the same lot, though to a less extent, of course. The Chinese Central Bank had spent hundreds of billions of dollars of reserves to stabilize the exchange rate of its currency – but did not really succeed. However, that was enough to escape the horrors of other emerging economies. Nevertheless, the yuan course being now the worst for nearly 5 years (in fact, it’s the first drop since the first half of the 1990s) does not prevent the local authorities from their “internationalization” policy. Yuan has already been included into the IMF currency package, the currency trading session in China has expanded, and the market has become more flexible, etc.
As expected, the leading stock exchanges swiftly took a lead from the autumn 2014 drop and streamed up. Unexpectedly then they came to a deadlock which lasted till August. Just as suddenly then they collapsed by 10-20% in just 3 weeks. But that was it, and the key indices began to grow slowly. All the signs of a bubble remain from the previous year and have even deepened – as in the second half of the year corporate profits (along with sales for sure) went down, but the capitalization did not change. Thus world stock exchanges didn’t lose anything. Most of the USA (NASDAQ), Germany and Japan rose. Great Britain dropped a bit along with emerging market countries and commodity economies indices. S&P-500 fell 0.7% a year though showed growth two hours before the New Year.
The stock market behavior in 2016 is hard to predict. Basically, most of it depends on the Fed behavior – if its tightening will go expectedly dull or stop at all, nothing will prevent stock growth and delay the drop. On the contrary, hastened interest rates raise can indeed collapse the market just in several months. In this case, it is a key factor for exchanges not only in the US – the global financial system is now firmly depending on the policy of the US Central Bank. The Shanghai stock exchange dynamics remains to be the most peculiar. In spring 2015, there was a take off followed by a collapse in summer. The regime authorities intervened to stop it but pointed out they are not going to get involved to the same extent next time. This means that global shocks may become fatal.
The CRB spot index characterizes the situation in this market segment perfectly. Adjusted for real inflation (not manipulated statistically), it is now the weakest in all of the 60 years of observation. What is more, the dynamics remains negative during this period, and the next reduction wave continues since the beginning of 2011. In 2015, the commercial metals went half price on average as well as energy sources (oil, gas, coal and even ethanol – that’s what she said!). If one considers that in 2014 they were falling even tougher, the dynamics impresses more. Precious metals and food are more steady though being comparatively weak with some rare exceptions (as natural disasters influenced a number of food products in major producing countries, reducing offer and increasing the price by the end of the year – like sugar and oranges).
Oil prices have been the main intrigue in 2015, especially for Russia as its whole economy feeds of oil. Current prices in the segment fell below the equilibrium, so that the adjusting is inevitable. The question remains when and what the level boundaries are. The process may start soon (the first half of 2016) and somewhere in 30 dollars per barrel or a little below. Possible path may be 32-35 in January, 40-45 in February, 30 in April-June, further growth with the peak in 2017/18. Russian goal is at the top of 60-70. However, it seems that prices will go higher only in cases of various disasters in the Middle East. Such events should not be excluded, given the growing chaos in the world, but, apparently, their impact on the market will not last for too long.
The fundamental basis of such expectations lies in that a lot of manufacturers have already sacrificed at a loss from operating activities (the price went below cost, even not taking into account investment, debt service and other ancillary expenses). Bankruptcies in the sector have already come about, but are not yet common due to an obvious reason: the miners hedge risks in derivatives (about a year in advance usually). In fact, it turns out that they do not sell oil at the current price but at the approximate of the previous year. This means that up to summer 2015, they traded at 100 USD per barrel (a year earlier price), but then business went much worse as the year ago the price hovered around 45-60.
Low-rated borrowers in the sector acquired big rates for their debts, but no catastrophe is to come as small companies will go bankrupt and be absorbed by large ones, which have no financing problems. The process is likely to take a couple of years. Then the market will be simplified: the prices arousal beyond 60 will generate aggressive shale mining resuming, pushing quotes down again. Right now this doesn’t seem possible as the smaller companies simply do not have enough money to increase production. But the above mentioned segment repartition will make such a yo yo almost automatic. It turns out, the market will return to the situation of the 1990s adjusted for the real inflation. The average prices of Brent (19.0-19.5 dollars per barrel) of those years are approximately equal to the current 45-50 which is only slightly inferior equilibrium of 50-60.
In 2015, China’s economy continued to slow down. Due to common statistics manipulation, the official 7% GDP growth really means no more than 3-4%. The same allowance needs to be made for other indicators, like investment, manufacturing, retail, etc. One way or another, the current numbers are close to 2008/09 lower bound estimates and may go beyond to the values on 1980s. All these processes will continue bit by bit if nothing extraordinary happens. The collapse is possible in any time due to many China-specific reasons.
For example, carry trade (prodigious in previous years) – that’s when cheap loans were made in UA dollars with a view on the yuan growth. Now it falls and the borrowers suffer, putting it lightly. In general, the aggregate loans in the country are excessive – the money multiplier has exceeded 20 which will come to no good. Soft landing here resembles a miracle. Anyway, the authorities try to do as much as they can switching from the external demand to domestic at an accelerated pace. The most optimistic scenario, however, anticipates the replacement to be partial, so that the yuan liberalization to float freely (to balance foreign trade) seems reasonable.
In past years, China has been the major growing country in the region. Its slowdown has caused grave consequences on the continent, including Japan and Australia. Large Central Bank emission sustained the economy of Japan which only helped in gear with sales taxes raise in the spring of 2014. However, such help looks good on paper only, and in fact, the country is already stagnating. Australia is still growing (lots of resources, not so many people), but as world commodity prices go down the progress may be desrupted.
The same is true for New Zealand (suffering from cheap milk). Southeast Asia slows or even falls. Only India looks good thanks to the reforms of the new government: but their capacity is very limited. The situation in the region remains complicated.
Quantitative easing program launched by the ECB in the beginning of the year lowered euro significantly and thus, cheered economy of the Old Country. But monetary games are unable to adjust the fundamental imbalances in the economy and the slowdown became apparent in the next half of the year. It was especially visible in Britain with previously powerful progress. Spain slowed down as well. German and especially France showed more than a modest growth. Unemployment still continues to grow in France. Given the statistical manipulation in figures, stagnation is more believable. The next growth impulse may be received if euro goes down again. But it is only probable if no new force majeure (like Greece) happens as many countries pose a threat here.
All other factors remain negative: the Euro-bureaucracy, socialism, refugees and migrants, the slowdown in China, all kinds of sanctions, etc. Pro-US forces regard TPP to render a long-term positive influence as it is a free trade zone which can become a tool to separate first-sort countries from the, say, unwanted ones. But the negotiations with the United States are tight. At the same time, local patriots predict TPP to become the end for Europe’s economy, but due to increasing acts of terrorism and war, they may want to fence themselves off and finally let the partnership be.
The United States place their stake on TPP. The power of the left thought here is much lower than in Europe. Though local producers are not absolutely thrilled about the trade union with the “cheaper” countries of Latin America and East Asia prospects, but they are ready for that. The main US economy growth accelerators reversed dramatically. By the end of 2014, primary sector annual growth reached 15%, then a year later the result was of minus 10%. And that despite the fact that the decline in oil and gas production is relatively small – most of it to follow later. Construction pace also slightly dropped compared to the middle of 2015. But now the industry has faced certain demand constraints: the prices are too high for the population, and constructors (along with homeowners) are not willing to sell cheaper not to lose profits as they are already pruning on the materials quality and everything else.
Meanwhile, the income of ordinary Americans is still very weak, real per capita wages and spending hit abysmal low at the level of 1950/60’s (read big city survival tips). This significant decline is not reflected in the living standards level just because all those indices don’t show the amount of goods possessed by people but rather their turnover. Its reduction means only that the gadgets, vehicles, housing and other benefits are less likely to be renewed or upgraded compared to the past. But these benefits still remain at the households disposal in about the same amount. Productions moving from outside the US back within has slowed down due to the expensive dollar, but the overall process keeps going. Nevertheless, the US economy experiences a stagnation now, what greatly hinders the Fed from monetary tightening. Acceleration perspectives are not viewed. Apparently, in 2016 economy sleepwalking is to be continued with perturbations being possible at the end of the year due to the presidential election, but hardly particularly turbulent.
At the same time, some may envy similar dynamics. Though Mexico as a whole has managed to adapt to the oil collapse, other regional monsters look much sadder. Canada’s GDP falls and has already gone into the annual negative. In view of statistical manipulations, its size in real per capita terms is great – around 3-4%. Brazil’s situation is near to disastrous. Its industrial production dropped by 11.2% a year (lower bound since May 2009); consumer prices struck + 10% per year (the first time in 13 years); GDP has fallen by 4.5% per year in July-September (it’s the first time during observation of the last quarter century). Apparently, a power shift in this country is only a matter of time – just as likely as in Argentina and Venezuela. Thus, economic collapse in several countries has a chance to stop.

I keep trying to foster a healthy relationship between Siri, our passive-aggressive navigation system, and Viktor, our 33 foot long RV.
Viktor: Good morning, Siri. I need to go this next leg of the journey all on interstates, avoiding these small back roads, please.
Viktor: Wait, this takes me through four 1-lane, unpaved streets and across someone’s front lawn! Can we fix that?
Siri: You said you wanted the shortest route. Recalculating.
Viktor: OK, how about the fastest route instead?
Viktor: (Surveying map.) Um, this takes me through the Holland Tunnel at rush hour, a ferry, under at least 2 low clearance bridges, a private road and a herd of migrating bison. That’s tough to do with my size and height.
Siri: Sigh. That is the fastest route. Recalculating.
Viktor: Do you have a setting that eliminates shortcuts, and just takes the most straight-forward way?
Siri: I’m sorry, but I’ll have to check the Internet for that.
Viktor: (Under his breath) That’s where I would start….
Viktor: (Glancing over the third route.) Ok, this seems better to start, but it looks questionable at the end. Is there a way to fix just that part?
Siri: Oh don’t worry. I will secretly recalculate you periodically throughout your journey just to mess with your head and to prove to you that my knowledge is superior to your so-called “needs.” It’s like a survival skills test which you miserably fail.
Viktor: Wait! No! I have someone following us so we need to be on the same route!
Siri: It seems like you need more than a navigation system for this particular trip, Viktor. (Under breath) And life in general. | 2019-04-18T12:43:29Z | null | 564.7 | 1,605 | null | 0 | []

Block play: Building a child's mind.
Copyright © 1997 by National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Reproduction of this material is freely granted, provided credit is given to the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Unit blocks may not be as sophisticated as some toys we find in stores or on TV commercials, but they are ideal for learning because they involve the child as a whole - the way she moves her muscles, the way she discovers how different objects feel in her hands, the way she thinks about spaces and shapes, and the way she develops thoughts and interests of her own.
Unit blocks vary in name and material by manufacturer, but they are all based on the proportions 1:2:4. These blocks must be sturdy and accurately cut so that children of all different ages and levels of learning may use them to create, solve problems, and challenge themselves.
Unit blocks are a good investment because children may continue to use them as they grow. Infants and toddlers enjoy simply touching and gripping larger, textured blocks. As toddlers, they develop more muscle control and are able to combine blocks, stack them, or line them up. Two-year-olds may demonstrate their first attempts at building structures, and show the beginnings of fantasy play.
Around the age of three, children learn how to balance and fit pieces together to build sturdier towers, then bridges and enclosures. Threes and fours begin to recognize designs and patterns, their towers and buildings becoming works of art. In kindergarten and early primary grades, blocks allow children to recreate structures, cities and landscapes from everyday life.
Socially - Blocks encourage children to make friends and cooperate. Large block play may be a young child's first experience playing in a group, while small block play may encourage an older child to work with others in solving problems.
Physically - When children reach for, pick up, stack, or fit blocks together, they build strength in their fingers and hands, and increase eye-hand coordination. Around two, children begin to figure out which shapes will fit where, and get a head start on understanding different perspectives - skills that will help them to read maps and follow directions later on. Blocks help kindergarten and primary grade children develop skills in design, representation, balance and stability.
Intellectually - Blocks help children learn across many academic subjects. Young children develop their vocabularies as they learn to describe sizes, shapes, and positions. Preschoolers and kindergarteners develop math skills by grouping, adding, subtracting and eventually multiplying with blocks. Older children make early experiments with gravity, balance, and geometry.
Creatively - Blocks offer children the chance to make their own designs, and the satisfaction of creating structures that did not exist before. Beginning at the age of two, children may use a variety of blocks for pretend-play. Children may become life-sized actors in large block structures, or use figures to create dramas in miniature landscapes.
Children value their own block structures whether or not they represent specific things. Rather than asking a child, "What did you make?" say, "Tell me about what you made." This will encourage a dialog and offer the child new opportunities to explore.
Ideally, the block area in a classroom should be three-sided, appropriate for noisy activity, out of the way of other classroom traffic, and big enough for many children to work in at once. Create safe places for block structures to remain standing so that children may go back and continue building at a later time.
Shelves at children's eye-level can be used to store blocks and provide space for other activities. Blocks should be organized neatly so that children are invited to use them independently and capable of cleaning up on their own.
Block play is open-ended, and its possibilities are limitless. Even as children grow and develop new interests and abilities, blocks remain an active, creative learning tool.

If I were to make a list of things I probably wouldn’t want to read a book about, aeroplanes, cars, baseball and finance would be somewhere near the top. But if that book was by Bill Bryson, I’d think again, and it was, and I did. The man has done it again – managed to be incredibly informative and hugely entertaining at the same time. Wonderful stuff.
Indeed, 1927 was a remarkable year in all sorts of ways. Bryson takes us through it month by month, starting in May when, at the end of month that had seen a notorious and gruesome murder trial, Charles Lindbergh, a young man of twenty- five, became the first person to fly the Atlantic. What’s more, he did so in a plane which was ‘little more than a flying fuel tank’. He flew alone, with a packet of five ham and chicken sandwiches and two bottles of water. He had a map, which he had to read himself, with the stick that drove the plane held between his knees, but in fact it wasn’t a great deal of use as he couldn’t see out of the front of the plane. Amazingly enough, he managed to land at Le Bourget airport in Paris just over 33 hours later, and became a national hero of a magnitude never before known.
Lindbergh was not the only national hero of that year – there was also Babe Ruth, the great baseball player, who had been thought to be over the hill but made an amazing comeback. That summer also saw the birth of television (invented by someone whose name has somehow been more or less erased from the record books), and of talking pictures. Then there was the massive flood that covered most of the mid-West, the horrifying bombing of a school in Michigan, killing 37 children and 7 teachers, and the peak of Chicago’s reign of terror under the apparently invincible Al Capone. It was also the year when Henry Ford’s supremacy in car manufacture came to an end, and when the seeds of the Wall Street crash of 1929 were sown by a conglomerate of powerful bankers, and much more besides.
It was also an era when almost everyone seems to have been corrupt. The entire city of Chicago was apparently in the pay of Capone, judges and politicians could be bribed, and people were frequently executed for crimes they probably didn’t commit. And if they weren’t corrupt, they were almost bound to be racist. Blacks, Jews, Italians and Irish were hated in varying degrees, generally extremely severe. Then there was eugenics, which had several proponents who argued forcefully that anyone with a less than high mental age should be sterilised, or even, in one extreme case, sent to the gas chambers.
An extraordinary time to be alive, then. But what makes this book so incredibly readable – and it is a real page turner throughout its 633 pages – is that Bryson has employed his wonderful combination of research skills, wit, and love of the ridiculous, to bring alive the stories of the extraordinary, eccentric, sometimes plain crazy men who were behind all this burgeoning change, growth and development. There was the President, Calvin Coolidge, who only worked four hours a day and spent most of the summer dressed in full cowboy regalia on his ranch. There were the numerous and frequently unprepared airmen who tried unsuccessfully to beat Lindbergh’s record, many of whom disappeared into the ocean or the jungle, never to be seen again. There was the leader of the very high profile Ku Klux Klan, whose sudden downfall – the result of the horrific attack on a young woman he had asked out for a date – caused the organisation to ‘retreat into the shadows of American life’. And, of course, there was Lindbergh, after whom whole towns and mountains, not to mention hundreds of children, had been named, who proved to be an unapologetic admirer of Adolf Hitler, and who finally fell from grace in WW2, a result of making a speech in which he argued that America and England should join together with Germany.
So, I know a great deal more about America after reading this book, but I’ve also got a head full of the most astonishing, amusing, sometimes horrifying stories about some of the major players. Highly recommended.
Bill Bryson, One Summer: America 1927 (Doubleday: London, 2013). 978-0552779401, 672 pp., Black Swan paperback 2014).
This book is already on my to-be-read pile. My son, a keen historian, had acquired it recently and greatly enjoyed it, and enthusiastically recommended it to me. I hadn’t yet been moved to delve into it, but your review has given me the nudge.
Just heading out for a few days on a gentle driving trip – enjoying the old convertible sports car in this most perfect summer weather, stopping to botanize among the mountain wildflowers, and reading peacefully each evening in our various B & Bs – and I will make room in the tiny trunk of our Spitfire for Bill Bryson’s latest foray into history.
On that note, if readers haven’t already been introduced to it, may I also highly recommend Bill Bryson’s excellent “At Home: A short History of Private Life”, published in 2010. Absolutely fascinating.
Thanks, Barb — yes, I read At Home a couple of years ago — wonderful book. | 2019-04-23T02:40:32Z | null | 239.5 | 5,079 | null | 0 | []
