Nifty Daily Chart: As we expected, Nifty reversed from the resistance level of 5872. If Nifty manages to closes below 5875 then we can see further fall in Nifty over the days to come. RSI is turning its head down. Only Risky Positional Traders hold long in nifty, or keep a SL at 5740.
Nifty Intraday Chart: As we expected we see wild sings in the daily chart in the late afternoon session. On the chart we see sluggishness in the upside movement in Nifty. I think this will drag nifty further down in days to come. | 2019-04-20T04:32:04Z | null | 1,443.1 | 515 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

On the 75th anniversary of the premier of Casablanca, let’s revisit the art and politics of this venerable American classic.
Seventy-five years ago, when Casablanca premiered in a certain section of New York, the United States had already been at war for almost a year. The movie had originally been scheduled for release in the summer of 1943, but the Allied invasion of North Africa starting on November 8, 1942, inspired Warner Brothers to release the movie early, in time for Thanksgiving. Casablanca went on to win the 1942 Academy awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay.
There are a lot of myths about the making of this movie, most notably that it was an “happy accident,” a haphazard production that just happened to cohere in a commercial success. Nonsense, argues Gary Green, who notes that the movie’s production was no messier than other famed films of the era, including Gone With the Wind (which ran through three directors before it was done).
To this day, the American Film Institute consistently ranks Casablanca near the top of its list of best American films.
Green concentrates on the role of director Michael Curtiz, who even with his best director Oscar usually gets less attention than the stellar acting roster. The actors included Ingrid Bergman, Claude Rains, Paul Henried, Sidney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre, and a host of colorful bit players, many of them European refugees. (In fact, the great majority of the actors were foreign-born). The crackling screenplay—by Howard Koch and twin brothers Julius and Philip Epstein—is also valorized as a stand-alone piece of art.
But Curtiz weaved it all together. Born Manó Kaminer in Budapest (when it was still part of Austria-Hungary), Curtiz was a Jew who apprenticed in the National Theater of Hungary and then the German film industry. He immigrated to the U.S., in 1926, anglicizing his Hungarian name, Mihály Kertész.
Green describes Curtiz as a forerunner of film noir, using the “German Expressionist style and its emphasis on mise en scene, particularly its use of murky lighting in which shadows and darkness take on potent meaning.” The corruptions of Casablanca, where life is cheaper than sand, foreshadow the mean American streets portrayed in the Hollywood noirs of the late 1940s and 1950s.
Instead, this is the apotheosis of Bogart pictures, war stories, and romances, (and bromances!), all merged together in the desert noir of Michael Curtiz. To this day, the American Film Institute consistently ranks Casablanca near the top of its list of best American films. Play it again, Sam. (Though that, of course, is not an actual line from the movie).

Great read from Valuation Review. Give your thoughts below.
Click on the image to reveal the back of the mailer.
Ed Martinez of Marshall & Swift taught a tremendous course on the Cost Approach during the UAU sponsored and organized Utah Valuation Expo.
The UAU Board would like to thank all of those who attended, sponsored, taught or participated in the first ever Utah Valuation Expo. The Board has met and has decided to begin organizing a second UVE. Details will be forthcoming.
On January 29th the UAU held the largest USPAP class in the history of our organization. Forty professionals from Iron County to Cache County attended. It was the largest USPAP course Ron Smith has ever taught.
Fannie-Mae to create its own "Black List"
In January Fannie and Freddie, the same entities that brought you the UCDP, have plans to use that online portal to start "grading" appraisers. We don't need to tell you that this will be of significant importance to all appraisers.
The GSEs are planning on using data gathered through their UCDP to identify "problem appraisers" and either provide an opportunity to fix the problem, and possibly even exclude appraisers from performing work for the GSEs. As you can imagine, an appraiser placed on the Fannie/Freddie black list will have very limited work options from that point forward.
An appraiser turned in a report using a comp with 2300 SQFT that sold for $400k. In 10 other reports the appraiser reported 2100 SQFT with a sales price of $375k.
Inconsistent C and Q ratings: Appraisers have been using the same comparable sales in multiple reports with differing C and Q ratings.
In short, they will be creating a list of appraisers who are inconsistent, or who have problems in general. This list should be available to everyone.
Stay tuned for more information about the GSE Black List as it is made available.
I am excited to show you the new website!
Jake and I (mostly Jake) have spent some time putting this site together. All new content and a lot more functionality from our last site.
Our new site has a blog for the board to keep everyone to stay up to date on UAU activity and involvement. Our board members will be posting meeting notes, activity envolvement, comments and photos from our events, interesting articles, and more!
You can pay your dues online now! Not only that, but classes and other events that require a payment will also all be online. Please remember that for members most events have not cost. Only the events that actually cost us money to produce, like a USPAP course with the books.
We will be able to share helpful industry links to everyone, and coordinate information that will help all our members be better appraisers. | 2019-04-19T18:36:50Z | null | 543.4 | 2,704 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Sustainable Brands kindly invited me to speak at their Boston New Metrics ’14 conference. They asked me to lead a panel called “Tapping the Crowd for Insights and Solutions: Crowdsourcing, Crowdfunding, and the Personal Data Economy.” I got to work with three experts: Gwen Nguyen, Cause Director, Indiegogo; Reki Hattori, CTO, Datacoup, and Dr. Thomas Malone from MIT’s Climate CoLab. It was fun to work with them and I think both I and the audience learned something from our presentations and discussion.
We at CSRHub had recently posted research on the relationship between corporate social responsibility (CSR) and crowdfunding. However, the SB folks wanted me to talk about how crowd data could influence sustainability metrics. This is a topic we care about deeply—we have already integrated more than a quarter million pieces of crowd data into our database.
I started by pointing out that we already have many good sources of sustainability information. In fact, there are almost too many for anyone to track via normal means. CSRHub currently lists >330 sources in our system, and that number grows by three to ten sources per month.
CSRHub gathers all this data into one place, harmonizes it, and makes it useful to sustainability practitioners. We’ve recently grown our coverage to include more than 9,000 companies in 106 countries.
Ten years ago, only a few large (or very socially-minded) companies issued corporate responsibility reports or reported their performance to groups such as GRI or CDP. These days, thousands of companies have employee-driven community service programs, recycling and carbon reduction targets, and sustainability areas on their web sites. As you can see below, after twenty years of progress, more than 90% of the Global 250 issues CSR reports.
Hundreds of thousands of middle-sized and smaller companies—many of whom are privately held or not-for-profit organizations—are starting to report their social performance to their customers (via sustainability supply chain systems) or to local or national government organizations. In contrast to the situation with bigger companies, most of the new data that smaller companies generate is never made public. This has left a big gap that we believe crowd data can help fill.
Crowd sources monetize in various ways. For instance, Ekobai charges companies to list on its site, WeGreen captures a small part of the consumer purchases it helps direct, and Glassdoor sells job ads. To generate the traffic and attention they need, crowd sources typically cover both larger, well-studied companies, and smaller ones.
We already use the data on one company to standardize and normalize the data on other companies. We can therefore use our non-crowd expert sources to understand and adjust the ratings we get from crowd sources. As a result, we should soon be able to track at least 50,000 companies and hopefully soon have ratings on hundreds of thousands of companies, both public and private, from around the world.
Sustainability ratings and metrics are vital for making a number of business decisions. By broadening the number of companies that can be rated, we should be able to enable faster and more accurate supply chain management, improve private investment decision-making, and encourage consumers to shift their purchases towards more sustainable products. Most people seem to feel that consumer rating and credit management systems have improved our ability to make business decisions. Broad-based sustainability ratings, based at least partly on crowd data sources, should generate similar long-term value for everyone. | 2019-04-21T10:42:41Z | null | 492.4 | 3,617 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Playground equipment is important to the children in a school or community. The equipment activities promote upper body strength, balance, hand-eye coordination and large and small motor skills. While these are important benefits, they are only valuable if children are monitored while playing and if they are taught the importance of using the equipment correctly so that no injuries occur. According to the National Safety Council, over 200,000 kids make a trip to the emergency room each year due to playground related injuries.
• Supervision is present while strings are not: An adult is near to monitor and facilitate safe play. Also, make sure no strings are hanging from children’s clothing. These could accidentally be caught in playground equipment.
• All children play on age-appropriate equipment: Tots on bigger kid’s equipment may not be able to reach, climb, or jump safely. Smaller places and spaces on preschool age equipment can cause trouble for older, bigger kids. Remember, kids age two to five are developmentally different than children five to 12 and require separate playgrounds.
• Falls to surface are cushioned: Hard asphalt, dirt, grass or concrete is unacceptable for landing. Well-designed playgrounds include landing surfaces made of sand, wood chips, gravel, or rubber mats.
• Equipment is safe and in good working order: Equipment must be anchored safely in the ground, moving pieces in safe working order, S-hooks -- especially on swings -- are tightly closed, and bolts or other sharp pieces are not protruding.
Playgrounds mean fresh air, friends, and exercise for our children. As parents, we can remember that smaller children may not have the strength or coordination to guard against every fall and older kids may push the limits of unsafe play. With this in mind, we can ensure that broken or faulty equipment, improper landing surfaces, or careless behavior never ruins the fun at the playground.

Air Jordan 3 was released in February in 1988, Michael racks up every major honor in the league, defending his Slam-Dunk title, selection to the First Team, the All-Defensive First Team, All-Star Game MVP Award, Defensive Player of the Year, and the league MVP Award. He leads Chicago past the first round of the playoffs and serves notice that this team must not be taken lightly. The new shoe was excellent. Tinker Hatfield designed it as it wad totally different from the AJ I and II and was the first pair of Air Jordan's that showed a visible air sole. Behind it stood Tinker Hatfield who since then has designed every Air Jordan model up to the 15th. This was also the very first Air Jordan to feature the Jumpman logotype instead of the Wings-logo that was on the I's and II's. Nike created a personality ad campaign featuring the Mars Blackmon character that was created and played by director/actor Spike Lee. Air Jordan's all packaging time and features: In 1988, Original packing came in a black box with elephant print at the bottom; the tissue is special elephant print, and booklet and a pair of "Anatomical Arch Support". In 1994, the packaging came in a colorful box, with special tissue paper, and postcard. And in 2001, the retros came in a Jordan face box with plain paper wrap.What a nice shoes is Air Jordan 3 (III) Glow In The Dark Tan Pink White 2013, why not to pick up your favorite shoes! | 2019-04-20T10:12:31Z | null | 463.2 | 1,414 | null | 0.957567 | [

What can we say, amazing people, amazing day and yes a first for us mountains types – barefoot shooting. A massive congrats to you our friends and all the very best for the future.
Much love, Jim and Vicky.
Wow !! Such a beautiful photography..
Wow! Such a beautiful place! Love these images guys!
Amazing Jim! Loved looking through this set & uluwatu just happens to be one of my favourite places on the planet!
Jim and Vicky, words cannot even begin to describe our gratitude for capturing all these special moments on the best day of our lives. Here is to you guys being spectacular, keeping us on our feet, and just all around fantastic people to work with. You will be our friends forever. | 2019-04-25T06:53:37Z | null | 942 | 694 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
When it comes to effortless style, nothing beats a throw-it-on-and-go kind of item. And while we’ll always favor breezy dresses in balmy weather, there’s another hero piece for the season: the all-in-one. From rompers to jumpsuits, a onesie simplifies dressing, swiftly getting you out the door with the quick addition of a summery shoe and handbag. What’s more, the market currently offers a myriad of silhouettes to flatter a host of body shapes whether you want to show a little (or a lot!) of leg, bare your shoulders or display your décolletage. From voluminous off-the-shoulder takes to sleek culotte styles to romantically embroidered shorts, ahead are 13 summer rompers and jumpsuits to get in rotation. | 2019-04-22T12:51:34Z | null | 403.2 | 711 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

These two became instant friends of ours at our first meeting over coffee (at Lantern Coffee here in GR, because duh.) and I remember leaving that meeting pinching ourselves that, once again, we’d get the opportunity to be a part of the lives of such amazing people on such an important day. They will make you laugh (a whole lot) and feel so appreciated the whole time you’re with them. And is it ever obvious that they’re just the best of friends. You’re instantly comfortable being yourself around them because they’re so comfortable being themselves around each other. It’s a special kind of gift when people can offer that to the world around them just by being who they are.
Special shoutout to Michigan for holding off on the rain until juuuuust the right time when I wanted to use the umbrellas anyway ;) I feel like we’re starting off on good terms for this year, ya dreamy mitten state you. Also, let’s just talk for a second about what a classic beauty Stephanie is in this stunner of a wedding dress, holy moly. Top that off with Cheeky Strut working their hair and makeup magic and that outrageously beautiful bouquet from Stem’s Market… I was all sorts of swooning.
Here’s a list of all the killer vendors that made up this day! | 2019-04-22T17:54:34Z | null | 442 | 1,242 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Four days and 50 reader views into our baby blog’s existence, we have been priveleged to receive a number of letters to our darussophileATyandexDOTru address. All of them deal with our Towards a New Russian Century? core article (which is, in addition, the most popular item on this blog by far – possibly because colleen was kind enough to link his winthrop88 blog to it).
The biggest critique of it, voiced by colleen and the letter writer DP, was my neglect of the topic of peak oil in my analysis of geopolitics in the next 20-30 years.
It’s hard to predict the world in 2030. For example, if peak oil is a reality then maybe all bets are of especially if a replacement to fossil fuels is not developed.
Russia economic growth of 6-7% started when oil was $12 / barrel. Future growth predictions for the world are suspect. Not enough energy to power this growth. The world is not capable of producing much more than the 85m barrels that are being produced today and this will by all accounts decline. If the world would grow at a 3% rate that would mean by 2020 the world would need 120m barrels a day.
We respectfully disagree with this point about peak oil stalling world growth. Firstly, there is no shortage of other energy sources – shale oil, tar sands, etc. It might not be cheap, but extracting these is already more than feasible at today’s prices. There are still plenty of coal reserves, which can be liquified (as happened in apartheid South Africa).
The adjustment might dampen world growth, as people invest in energy conservation and renew vehicle fleets with lower gasoline consumption. Yet even in the 1970’s, when oil prices spiked and the GDP of the advanced industrialized countries was twice as energy intensive as today, growth continued nonetheless – albeit at a slightly slower space than in the previous two decades and marred by stagflation.
By the time Hubbert’s slope turns into a really large negative number, a great deal of progress will have been made into renewables and energy conservation. For instance, solar power will start booming from 2015 onwards, when its costs are projected to draw near to commercial rates for grid power (or sooner, allowing for tax breaks); meanwhile, the auto manufacturers will be churning out much less energy intensive plug-in hybrids and fully electric vehicles.
In the 1970’s, the oil spike came suddenly at a time when the US economy was twice as energy intensive as today and it was due to supply-side disruptions, as opposed to today’s smooth demand driven growth. Energy conservation, renewables and oil extraction technology lagged far behind today’s. Nonetheless, from 1970-79, US GDP / capita grew at an average rate of 2.3% / annum, an increase over 2.0% / annum from 1950-1970. Granted, unemployment rose (1.3% in 1960, 11.2% in 1983) and growth in labor productivity per hour worked fell from 2.3% during the years of the miracle economy to just 0.6% in 1973-79 – however, during the years of cheap oil in 1979-1996, it rose to just 0.8%, while GDP growth / capita fell even further to 1.5%. Since 2000 and the return of expensive oil, however, the US has chugged along well, doing better than the continental European countries (at least until very recently).
We can only conclude that ultimately, oil prices don’t really have that much of a big impact on the economic growth of its consumers.
Another point raised by DP was that of US debt, which was to cut short its aspirations to remain a global hegemon. Among concerns listed was the sovereign debt of 9tn $, the current account deficit and the declining value of the dollar.
We don’t think the US is in a particularly bad position in respect to its macroeconomics. 9trn $ public debt is 65% of US GDP, but that is the same as France (64%), and lower than Germany and Canada (both 68%), Italy (107%) and Japan (a whopping 178%). As for the housing bubble, this is a worldwide phenomenon – granted it is worse in the US than in most countries, but it is not exceptionally bad. Finally, the declining value of the dollar is just a sympton and a correction of the twin deficits. This will make it easier for the US to pay off its (dollar-denominated) debt and raise its exports – which has indeed begun to happen recently and thus cut its current account deficit as a % of GDP.
Another reader, CL, criticized the article for neglecting demographics, claiming that Russia and the European countries will be unable to exert power due to their decreasing populations.
Let’s try to see where this argument comes from. Traditionally, a decline in population is associated with bad things – war, famine, pestilence. This is because for much of human history, populations declined only under the aforementioned Malthusian conditions. The modern world of emancipated women, sexual revolution and the Pill has only recently given people the choice of purposefully limiting family size, and this fundamental fact should not be forgotten.
As I’ve already mentioned in my Reading Russia Right article, population decrease in Russia in 2007 was of the order of 0.15% / annum, and the trend was positive. But even linearly assuming that its population falls by 0.2% / year to 2030 (hitting 136mn) and that America’s continues growing at today’s 0.9% to 2030 (hitting 371mn), will it really matter that much? Its economy will still be much larger relative to the US than it is in 2008 (due to economic convergence). Furthermore, absolute economic size is only one of the components of what makes a superpower. Its position in hi-tech; the advantages accruing to it from global warming; its military-strategic and energy strength, will all be virtually unaffected – even in this worse-case demographic scenario.
Furthermore, in economics, what matters isn’t the population or its growth rate per se, but the dynamics of the working age population as a percentage of the whole population – the dependency ratio. More people working generally translates into more wealth and a more stable pension system. According to Goldman Sachs (Dreaming with BRICs, pp.8), from 2005 to 2030 it will decline from 67% to 60% in Russia, compared with a similar decline in China and with a 62% to 54% decline in the G6. Hardly apocalyptic.
Granted, both Brazil and India will have healthier demographic profiles in that respect than China, Russia or the West. However, the real value of their young populations can be called into question due to their poor skills (as mentioned in Towards a New Russian Century?).
Furthermore, any demographic decline in Europe, Russia and Japan can be more than mitigated by increasing their labor force participation rate (especially amongst youth and 50+ year olds) up to American levels. This is a social decision with regard to which they are all wealthy enough to make a free choice.
Ultimately, all this discussion of demographics might well become moot sooner than we can imagine. 25 years, if the more ardent prophets of SENS (Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence) are right. | 2019-04-25T09:45:58Z | null | 653 | 7,030 | null | 0.072831 | [

My oldest daughter was awake last night when she should have been sleeping. I went in to ask her why she was having trouble falling asleep. She said it was because she was thinking about the stories she had read in her Manga Bible story.
So, my daughter had re-read through the two volumes of this Manga Bible over the last couple days and she was asking me when the stories of Daniel and Esther took place in history. We talked about Israel's exile in Babylon a bit and I asked her why she was thinking about these two stories in particular. Her answer contained an observation that amazed me.
She noted that the stories of Daniel and Esther are very similar. I thought about it for a few seconds and then asked her to explain. She pointed out that in both stories, bad men trick or contrive to have the king pass a law stating that all people must worship or pray to him only. The evil men in both stories think that when the king passes this law they will see their enemies, the obedient Israelites, finally destroyed because they will refuse to obey this law. But it is pointed out to the respective kings (although in different ways) that some of their most loyal and true subjects are guilty of breaking this law and so they must face punishment for their disobedience. However, God spares the heroes (Daniel in one story and Mordechai and Esther and the exiled Israelites in the other) from destruction and instead, the king's heart turns to saving the Israelites and destroying those who plotted their destruction (in Daniel's story, his accusers are thrown to the lions and in Esther's story, Haman is hung on the very gallows that he was preparing to see Mordechai swing from). I was so excited and thankful that my children are picking up patterns like this, and I have to admit, this is one I've never thought about before.
Now, we read the Bible every evening for family devotions and we use various resources to catechize our children in the Scriptures. Right now, we are using this very good resource. The basic pattern of family devotions is that we read a story or a portion of it from Scripture, discuss it, and then ask questions about it including how the story or characters we read about point us to Jesus. We emphasize patterns, repetitions, similarities, common and uncommon elements between several Old Testament stories and between them and New Testament stories. Through this our children are coming to see that, ultimately, the Bible is not merely a compendum of many stories but one running story - the story of God working to redeem his people and his creation. But the observations my daughter made struck her as she read her Manga Bible throughout the day and before bed. She is learning patterns of thought from our family worship which she is taking into her own private reading of the stories of Scripture. That's exactly what Trina and I are hoping our children are learning.
Back to my original admission, the one about not being a big fan of the Manga Bible stories. I was thinking about this the other day and remembered that when I was young my parents got a set of three soft cover Bible story comics which I think were an older version of these. I remember not really knowing the order of events in the Bible until I had read these through a few times. It was these that began to familiarize me with the overall story arch of Scripture. I also recall loving to read these, sometimes for hours on end.
Are Bible story comics the best and most accurate version of the story of the Bible? Of course not. Some things are left out, some stories have minor details added in or omitted, and all of it is necessarily an interpretation in much the same way that translating a novel into a movie must be an interpretation. But if my children are going to have some less challenging material in their personal reading mix, along with Tintin and Calvin and Hobbes, why shouldn't they read Bible story comics that are faithful to the stories of Scripture? Of course as a parent I need to help them understand the difference between these and other comics. For starters, these speak of real events. I also need to help them see that these comics are not a substitute for reading Scripture "straight up" either as a family or privately. To be honest, our kids often pick up on the differences between the stories in the Manga comics and the accounts we read from the ESV or the NKJV even before Trina or I have a chance to point them out. They can spot the differences in a similar way to how they point out the differences between the Chronicles of Narnia books written by C.S. Lewis and the movies inspired by those books but produced by a Hollywood studio or the differences between the story of the Exodus in Scripture and the annimated move, Prince of Egypt. And like the Narnia stories, when our kids see differences in the comics they know what the true story is and they know Who wrote the true story. Knowing that, they prefer the true story to the comic one, but they have learned to appreciate the comics without equating them with the inspired Word of God.
So I hope and pray my children will read on. I will teach them to read solid English translations of the Bible and to read good Bible story books like this and this and this. I will teach them to read the Bible and to read good Bible stories mainly by reading with and to them. And I will also not discourage them from reading Bible stories in comic form, provided they are not dishonouring to either the seriousness of God's judgement upon sin or the gloriousness of God's grace in salvation through Chirst. | 2019-04-21T00:33:50Z | null | 347 | 5,604 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
A store was evaluated to see how significantly apps could influence its sales and customer base within one month.
– In one (1) month, the store added 241 users via the BOTTLECAPPS app.
– 250 users will be added each month.
– The average basket is $41.00 based on historical store statistics.
– Conservatively assume only 20% of those 250 added app users each month will buy.
– Those 50 active, buying app customers contributed an additional $2050 in sales during the first month.
– If the store adds 250 new customers each month for one (1) year and only 20% of those has at least one transaction of $41, that figure grows to a staggering 600 new customers annually.
Financially, that looks like $159,900 in added sales annually.
– The social sharing aspect of using apps will likely cause many more users to try and ultimately use the app, thereby contributing more sales than what this conservative study depicts. | 2019-04-20T18:24:58Z | null | 2,176.2 | 915 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
OCDLAB specializes in enterprise web and mobility solutions. Our primary clientele is B2B but we take B2C market equally seriously. The last 2 years we have started expanding into other spaces like IoT (Internet of Things) and enterprise services.
These include solutions for salesforce, zendesk and servicenow. The response has been phenomenal and we can see that the future is all about platform as a service and a connected world.
This is kinda difficult to pin point at 1 or 2 apps as our best works. We take a lot of pride in our work and we try to make sure that every new app we do is better than previous one. In fact, I think that is the biggest value proposition we offer to our clients. We are not just a follower to what they ask for, but instead, we try to polish the concept, come up with innovative ideas to make it better and marketable. One of the recent apps I like a lot is a game called “Staying Alive” This is an accelerometer driven endless running game. The whole idea is very new and unique and I hope users will like it too.
Every now and then, I see some apps which are done very nicely. I feel really good to be part of this awesome technology world where people are doing such a great job for changing lives. One of my all time favorite app is “Hotels Tonight”, for its simplicity and ease of use.
Skype, Slack, Waze, Future Scheduler, Staying Alive.
To be honest, I have always been a huge fan of Blackberry and I felt so bad that they didn’t change with time. I really wanted their new devices to be successful but I guess it is too late now. I wouldn’t consider any of the current mobile devices as best but if I have to choose one, I would pick iPhone 6 any day over other mobile devices available in market.
I think it is going to be something in wearable space. The current solutions out there are still not up to the mark and there is a lot more which needs to be done. However, future seems very promising. In my head, an ideal device would be a combination of a wearable device (it can be glasses or watch or anything else for that matter), AR and real word objects. Something where you could use real world objects such as a wall or a white board or even a table top to project or input to your device.
The other fascinating area is IoT. If you think about it, the whole idea of a connected world makes a lot of sense. Connect homes, cities, classrooms.. it will take up the productivity and comfort to next level.
AppFutura is a great platform to bring the businesses closer. This is definitely leaps ahead from the standard freelancing marketplaces like upwork or freelancer. The human touch they put in on projects, verification processes, support etc. is awesome.

Here are certain points to consider for SMWCon talks.
The topic should relate in some way to Semantic MediaWiki, although that connection can be very loose: talks can cover other software, such as other wiki and semantic wiki applications, or other topics relating to data or the Semantic Web.
You can describe the problem domain (i.e., the subject matter of the data) in your talk, but the focus should ideally be on the technological aspects of the work.
Modeling of complex domains using rules, formulas etc.
Use the Talk template to provide the metadata about your talk. (You can use the Talk form to make data entry easier.) All the talks that use this template will appear in the overview of past contributions.
Provide 5 to 6 sentences as an abstract in the template.
Describe your talk in further detail in the "free text". Providing more details is useful, because it will help participants prepare ahead of time for your talk.
Use the elements of wiki markup to your own taste.
All the descriptions are reviewed one or two times. We will probably ask you to improve your contributions. The talks without descriptions won't be included into program!
We wish good luck with creating and preparing your talks and would love to see you at the conference!

I don't know why but Aloo Posta (Potatoes steamed and stir-fried with a paste of poppy seeds) has been my most favourite dish ever since I understood the meaning of taste. I still get flashbacks of my childhood days when mummy would have kept this dish ready for lunch as a prize on days when our exam results were to be declared. It was her way of rewarding me but more as a token of love. I still cherish those days. It will be next to impossible for me to replicate Mummy's Aloo Posta, but I gave my best today and this is how it turned out. | 2019-04-24T22:05:25Z | null | 323 | 544 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Yay! I was nominated yesterday for my first blog award! I’ll admit. I cheated a little since the person who nominated me is my boyfriend, but he also legitimately loves my blog as well as me. Probably mostly because he gets to eat all the food I cook. But I digress!
1. Thank the person who gave it to you.
3. Share seven of your worthy posts under the following headers: Most Beautiful Piece, Most Helpful, Most Popular, Most Controversial, Most Surprisingly Successful, Most Underrated and Most Pride Worthy.
4. Nominate seven other bloggers and notify them.
1. I was nominated for this award by my amazing, awesome and talented boyfriend Adam over at Eat, Sleep, Television. Adam is a movie and tv fanatic and is also excellent at breaking episodes and movies down and just telling you how he feels. He has done some excellent reviews and even though I don’t always agree with him (Avatar ROCKS!), I love his style and ability to see things others cannot. His dream in life is to become a critic so go help him out. It will be a win-win situation.
2. Seven Random Facts… Alrighty then.
I don’t like crunchy desserts. My cookies will be doughy, Bob Darn It!
I have an obsession with shoes. And purses. And clothes. And shopping in general.
I wear a shower cap. Curly girls represent!
I’m related to Stonewall Jackson by marriage.
My mother is Anne Rice.
I LOVE Hello Kitty. Like seriously. LOVE.
The story behind Basmati Taco, the name. My last name is Rice. Once day my friend and I were signing up for online dating (and it worked out well I must say) and it is ridiculously hard to come up with screen names for these things. My friend suggested something rice related and we came up with Basmati. Well, that was already taken and the site recommended trying Basmati_Taco. And there you have it. I actually have never had a Basmati Taco but it will happen someday. Indian-style tacos here I come!
And there you have it! Thanks so much to Adam and to all my readers!
This is a How-To for avocados. I have discovered moving from the West to East coast that people who live where avocados do not grow are much less inclined to know how to take care of them. Treating an avocado, like a significant other, with respect is important if you want better results. Here are some tips from a Californian on how to treat your avocados.
1. When purchasing avocados, buy not so ripe ones. You want an avocado with less experience. You can tell how ripe an avocado is by pushing gently near the stem area. The softer the area, the more ripe the avocado is.
2. Help your avocados ripen by placing them in a paper bag and in an area that gets some sun during the day, such as a window sill. Make sure to tell your avocado how awesome it is every now and then.
3. Leave the avocados in the bag for a day or two (or a few depending on how much sun, etc.) until the area around the stem is soft but not mushy. When you peel the avocado the inside should be green. A little brown is ok. We all have a little spots here and there.
4. To peel an avocado, run a knife through the avocado and around the pit, then twist a little and pull the two halves apart. To pit an avocado, hit the pit with a knife, twist and pull. The pit should come right out. I don’t have any relationship puns for this one.
5. Use a spoon to get the good stuff out. Don’t be afraid to scrape the inside. The peel will stand up to a spoon, and so will an ego.
You can use avocados for a whole lot of stuff, including Steph’s Guacamole, vegan chocolate cream pie (I WILL make this some day) and a myriad of other dishes. Or just sprinkle on some salt and snack away. Avocados are an amazing food and I look forward to the day I can walk outside and pick an avocado right out of the tree. Ah, the good life. | 2019-04-23T23:01:40Z | null | 405.7 | 3,762 | null | 0.039607 | [

As a person providing care for an older adult or a person with dementia you are faced with an enormous amount of responsibility and work.
Often there are no others there to help you, and you have little time to take care of your own needs.
The OADS Aging Services oversees the Family Caregiver Support Program which provides education, training, support groups and respite for family caregivers of older adults and of people with dementia, and older adults caring for minor children (kinship parents).
One of the training programs available is Savvy Caregiver (About Savvy Video). Find a Savvy Training near you here.
If you are interested in more information about the Family Caregiver Program, please contact your local Aging and Disability Resource Centers. | 2019-04-24T14:22:31Z | null | 237.7 | 760 | null | 0.322368 | [

MS. SANDERS: Today’s jobs report shows the extraordinary impact recent weather events have had on our economy. Calculations from Moody’s Analytics estimate the recent storms could cause between $195 billion and $245 billion in economic losses. But those numbers, as large as they are, are not the best way to understand the impact these storms have had on the people of our nation.
President Trump has now personally visited storm-ravaged areas in numerous states and territories. He’s seen the devastation, and he’s looked into the eyes of Americans struggling to find hope in the midst of heartache. The President has committed to these people that we will walk with them every step of the way as they rebuild their homes, their communities, and their lives.
And he has committed to all Americans that we are going to build an economy that works for everyone. We are encouraged to see that the unemployment rate has once again dropped, and workforce participation vaulted to a 3.5-year high. This report underscores the need for Congress to work with us to grow the economy and create jobs.
The importance of passing tax relief for American workers and business cannot be overstated. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a tax code that is simple, fair, and easy to understand. That means getting rid of the loopholes that primarily benefit the wealthiest Americans and special interests. It also means lowering taxes for middle-income Americans so that they can keep more of their hard-earned paychecks and buy the great American products made by American manufacturers.
In addition to the 14 workers the President hosted in the Oval Office during today’s proclamation signing, more than half-a-million people around the country are participating in thousands of events related to Manufacturing Day. Among them will be numerous members of the President’s Cabinet and other senior officials.
Our tax plan would lead to a great American manufacturing boom. We will cut taxes on American manufacturers and businesses of all sizes, and restore their competitive edge so they can create more jobs and higher wages for our workers. Our plan will also encourage them to bring back trillions of dollars currently parked overseas.
The President will be back out on the road next week building support for this plan, which is really a jobs bill. He will be visiting Hamburg, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, and we’ll have more details on that trip coming soon.
And with that, we’ll kick off Friday with questions, and we’ll start now. (Laughter.) This is kind of fun. We should do this more often, not just save it for Fridays.
Q Thank you, Sarah. The body of another U.S. soldier has just been discovered by local forces in Niger, which brings to four the total number of Green Berets that were killed on Wednesday in Niger. So far there’s been no response to this by the President. No tweet from the President, no statement from the President. Can we expect some sort of reprisal by the U.S. military in Niger as it relates to what happened on Wednesday?
MS. SANDERS: I made a statement on behalf of the administration yesterday in the opening. Obviously, anytime one of the members of our great military are injured, wounded, or killed in action, that is certainly something that we take very seriously. Our thoughts and prayers are with those individuals. We’re continuing to review and look into this. And as we have more details, we’ll certainly let you guys know.
Q Thanks, Sarah. Can you clarify the President’s comments? Was he referring to military action when he said “calm before the storm”?
MS. SANDERS: As we’ve said many times before — I know the President has; as I have from this podium on quite a few occasions — we’re never going to say in advance what the President is going to do. And as he said last night, in addition to those comments, you’ll have to wait and see.
Q But how seriously should the American public or American adversaries, for that matter, take these comments? Was it a joke? Was it serious?
MS. SANDERS: I think you can take the President protecting the American people always extremely serious. He’s been very clear that that’s his number-one priority. And if he feels that action is necessary, he’ll take it.
Q Sarah, when the President said that he wants his military leaders to give him military options faster, does he feel like they are intentionally slow-walking these options to him?
MS. SANDERS: No, not at all. But this is — as you know, he’s a person who likes to take action and take it quickly. And I don’t think you should read into anything beyond that as he wants options on the table so that he can make quick decisions.
Q And was that just a general comment? Or did he mean a specific country?
MS. SANDERS: I believe it was just a general comment. I’m not aware of anything specific that that was in reference to.
Q Sarah, I have two questions. One on the soldier who was killed in Niger and the other on DACA. On the soldier, when was the President made aware that there was a fourth soldier that was missing in action? And when did he become aware that unfortunately that soldier had been killed and discovered by local forces?
MS. SANDERS: I believe that the notification was yesterday, but I’d have to get clarification on the specific timing of when that took place.
Q When was the President made aware that that soldier’s body was found?
MS. SANDERS: Again, I know that it was pretty soon after that had been discovered. But as far as like an exact time, I couldn’t give you that. But I know Chief Kelly kept him updated constantly on that situation as it evolved.
Q And to a question on DACA, today the President welcomed Hispanic American leaders to the White House. He did not mention his decision to end DACA during his remarks there. He did not call — renew his call for Congress to protect those who are going to be vulnerable for deportation starting in March. Why did he not bring that up?
MS. SANDERS: Look, I think he’s been clear there’s no reason to continue to reiterate the same position that he’s held. He’s called on Congress to act on it. You can expect in the coming days that he’ll lay out his responsible immigration reform. I think you can count on that to happen very soon. And that’s all part of the process moving forward. But he hasn’t been unclear about what his position is on that front.
MS. SANDERS: We’re continuing to put maximum economic and diplomatic pressure on countries like North Korea. We’re going to continue to do that. But at the same time, the President is going to keep all of his options on the table. Our position has not changed. It’s been very consistent.
Q So is it North Korea — that’s the storm?
MS. SANDERS: I’m just using that as an example. I think we’ve got a lot of bad actors in the world — North Korea, Iran. There are several examples there.
Q Sarah, let me ask you about the HHS decision today to expand the contraception waiver. The ACLU has already filed a lawsuit or at least announced its intention to, and this was their response. They said, and I quote: “The Trump administration is forcing women to pay for their boss’s religious beliefs.” They go on to say, “We’re filing this lawsuit because the federal government cannot authorize discrimination against women in the name of religion or otherwise.” Your response to that would be what?
MS. SANDERS: I don’t think it’s been a secret that I would probably never use the ACLU to get any of my talking points. The President believes that the freedom to practice one’s faith is a fundamental right in this country, and I think all of us do. And that’s all that today was about — our federal government should always protect that right. And as long as Donald Trump is President, he will.
Q So then in not responding to the ACLU, what would you say maybe to the women out there or to the families out there who now have to pay more out of their pocket to get contraception coverage that they choose and that they desire?
MS. SANDERS: This is a President who supports the First Amendment, supports the freedom of religion. I don’t think I understand why that should be an issue. The Supreme Court has validated this decision certainly many times over. And the President is somebody who believes in the Constitution. If people don’t like what the Constitution says, they should talk to Congress about changing it.
Q I want to follow up on that, but I have a few. Given the lawsuits that the ACLU has already filed, said it would plan to file, is the administration prepared to defend this contraceptive mandate rollback all the way to the Supreme Court if need be?
MS. SANDERS: The Supreme Court has already made clear what their position is, and it supports what this administration has done.
Q You don’t believe it will be a legal fight that escalates to the Supreme Court at all?
MS. SANDERS: I think if it does, it will show that this administration is on the right side of the law.
MS. SANDERS: Why would we ask the same question?
Q Well, it’s a different question, actually.
MS. SANDERS: It is Friday so I thought maybe we’d change it up.
Q It’s actually a follow-up — because you said the President wants to preserve an element of surprise. So if he wants to preserve an element of surprise, why would he dangle hints about his actions in the first place?
MS. SANDERS: I don’t believe he did.
MS. SANDERS: He didn’t talk about any specific actions at all.
Q If I could ask two questions. First, following up on the HHS change, does the White House have any estimate of how many people could lose access to birth control under this change?
MS. SANDERS: I’m not aware. I’d refer you to HHS for specifics on that data.
Q Just a quick follow-up on a different topic. The President repeated earlier today that the U.S. is the highest-taxed nation in the world. That’s not true. So why does he keep making that statement? Why does he stick to that talking point?
MS. SANDERS: I believe there are specific sectors within the country that are among the highest-taxed in the world, and we’ll be happy to provide that data to you.
Q Thank you, Sarah. I have two questions. First, there’s been rumors that Prime Minister Tsipras of Greece will come here on the 17th, meet with the President, and then meet with the Vice President on the 18th, and we’ve had no confirmation. Is the Prime Minister invited? And is he coming to meet the President and Vice President?
MS. SANDERS: He is. And I believe that date is correct — the 17th I believe that he’ll be here on that date.
Q The other thing is that the administration has had a vacancy without a permanent Secretary of Homeland Security for two months, which is a record for that position not operating with a permanent Secretary. Are we going to have an announcement on a choice for permanent Secretary within days — next week, perhaps? And rumors are consistent he will make Elaine Duke the permanent Secretary and send her appointment up. True or false?
MS. SANDERS: I’m not going to get ahead of any announcement that the President may make about a permanent person. But I will say that Acting Secretary Duke is very competent and has managed the Department of Homeland Security very well in a very tough and trying time, given the hurricane season that we’ve had, and certainly have not wanted to make big shifts in leadership during this time and while there’s so much going on there.
In terms of a timetable, we’ll keep you posted when we have an announcement on that front.
Q It’s the President’s opinion too, right?
Q What you just said about Secretary Duke, the testimony you gave is the President’s opinion of her as well.
MS. SANDERS: Yes, he’s happy with the job that she’s done as the Acting Secretary.
Q Thanks, Sarah. Senator Cornyn said that the immigration principles that are being floated out there would be harmful to the DACA negotiations. He believes that DACA should be kept separate from any discussion about legal immigration. What is the White House response to that? I mean, are you guys committed to attaching legal immigration to the DACA debate?
MS. SANDERS: We want to make sure that whatever we put forward is a responsible immigration reform, and it’s not one piece of this process dealt with separately. We need to make sure that we’re addressing all the problems so that we’re not dealing with this again in two, four, five, six years, but that we’re putting forward a very thorough and full plan. And that’s what you’re going to see coming from the administration in very short order.
Q Thanks, Sarah. Two questions. First, does the White House have any view on the CFPB rule on payday lending?
MS. SANDERS: Not that I’m aware of. I’d have to check on that and circle back with you.
Q And just to follow up on that topic, there have been some House Republicans who believe that there’s already cause for firing Richard Cordray, going back to his handling of the Wells Fargo case. Why hasn’t the President taken action? I mean, does he approve of the job that Cordray has done so far?
MS. SANDERS: When we have any personnel announcements on that front, we’ll certainly keep you guys posted.
MS. SANDERS: That’s two already. I’m going to have to move on. Margaret. Sorry.
Q Sarah, two quick questions for you. One, there have been some rumors about the future of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson today. Can you continue to say the President remains confident in him as Secretary of State?
MS. SANDERS: He does. As he said yesterday, or two days ago, as I said yesterday, nothing has changed despite what you may read in the media or watch on TV. I would certainly trust the President and my comments far above those of other reporters.
Q And I want to ask you, the President — words matter. The President can move markets. He can cause miscalculation when it comes to adversaries. In the context of the questions asked of you today when you’ve been asked what he meant by “calm before the storm,” you’ve put them — you’ve mentioned North Korea, you’ve mentioned Iran — there’s implication that there is some kind of military action. There is some sort of forecasting there. Can you clarify if we are interpreting things correctly?
MS. SANDERS: I haven’t been specific about anything. I’ve also talked about the fact that we’re continuing to put maximum economic and diplomatic pressure on countries like North Korea. I’m simply saying that all options are on the table, as they have been. And we’re not going to announce what actions we’ll be taking until that moment comes.
Q Sarah, can you be more specific about the President’s position on bump stocks? Would he be open to legislation clearly banning them?
MS. SANDERS: As I said yesterday, we want to be part of that conversation. We want to gather more information. We’re going to continue to do that over the coming days, and that’s the current position. It hasn’t changed since yesterday.
Q Thank you, Sarah. Two questions, if I can.
MS. SANDERS: Just not three. Two is the limit.
Q Just two. I asked you about Senator Corker and some of the comments he made a few weeks back. Earlier this week, he said that Secretary Tillerson, Secretary Mattis, and General Kelly are basically what’s keeping the country separated from chaos. And he said there are other people in the White House that aren’t putting forth policies in a coherent fashion. Do you have any response to Senator Corker’s statement?
MS. SANDERS: Look, I think that the President is the one that’s keeping the world from chaos. He has an incredible team around him that’s helping him lead that effort, and he’s had tremendous accomplishments on the international stage by working with allies and confronting enemies. We’re going to continue doing that, and we’re going to continue doing that as a team with the President leading that effort.
MS. SANDERS: I’ll come back to you.
Q He’s trying to throw people off?
MS. SANDERS: I don’t think that that’s a secret. I wouldn’t say necessarily that he’s trying to throw people off, but he’s not trying to broadcast or telegraph his exact actions. I think we’ve seen what a failure it is when an administration does that, and this is a President who’s going to do it differently and do it better.
MS. SANDERS: No, I just picture people in this town actually holding their breath. That might be a welcome surprise for most of America.
Q Sarah, just one more thing. I want to pick up on what Margaret was trying to get at, I think, is can you — let me put it to you this way: Can you exclude the possibility that the President was actually just being mischievous — that he was messing with the press a little bit when he made that comment?
MS. SANDERS: I wouldn’t say that he’s messing with the press. I think we have some serious world issues here. I think that North Korea, Iran both continue to be bad actors, and the President is somebody who’s going to always look for ways to protect Americans. And he’s not going to dictate what those actions may look like. I don’t think there’s anything beyond that that I can add on that front.
Q A second question on Iran. A couple days ago, Senator Tom Cotton gave a speech in which he said he believes the best outcome for the Iranian nuclear deal would have to be referred to Congress. But rather than have Congress reimpose sanctions, which he called a backward looking step, we would use this period of 120, 90 days to renegotiate several terms of the deal. Does the White House think that that sounds like a plausible — like a good way to deal with the Iran nuclear deal?
MS. SANDERS: I’m not going to get ahead of the President’s announcement on the decision that he has. What I can tell you is the President isn’t looking at one piece of this. He’s looking at all of the bad behavior of Iran, not just the nuclear deal as bad behavior, but the ballistic missile testing, destabilizing of the region, number-one state sponsor of terrorism, cyberattacks, illicit nuclear program. He wants to look for a broad strategy that addresses all of those problems, not just one-offing those. That’s what his team is focused on, and that’s what he’ll be rolling out to address that as a whole in the coming days.
Q To follow up on that, is it the President’s wish that Congress reimpose sanctions on Iran for those bad acts you’re talking about?
MS. SANDERS: Again, I’m not going to get into the details of what the President’s decision is until he makes that later in the week.
Q One other question about Cuba, Sarah. Sarah, about Cuba. Our CBS News reporting today has taken this story to a new level. There are now Americans who do not work for the government who are saying that they’re subject to these health attacks. The State Department is telling us that there are a handful of Americans who have reported these symptoms. What’s going on here? How is the White House viewing this? How are we going to get to the bottom of it?
MS. SANDERS: Something we take extremely seriously. We’re continuing to investigate. The State Department is taking the lead on this effort, and we’re going to continue looking into this until we get some real answers.
Q You called on me, Sarah.
MS. SANDERS: I’ll come back.
Q Just to drill down a little bit on what you said yesterday about the press, saying that we owe it — I don’t think anybody disagrees that we should be as accurate and fact-finding as possible. But to flip it, do you and the President believe the President has a responsibility to be as truthful and honest with us as possible? Has he done it? And for those surrogates who have used — your term is “alternative facts” — would they then not do that?
MS. SANDERS: Absolutely. I think we all come here every day and do our very best to give you the best and most accurate information that we possibly can.
Q Have you been successful?
MS. SANDERS: I think so.
Q Okay, going back to the answer about leadership — the President’s leading — is General Kelly part of that leadership team with the President as he’s leading in this White House?
Q Does the President have confidence in General Kelly?
MS. SANDERS: I don’t think so, April.
Q Thank you, Sarah. Since we last heard from you, the film producer, Harvey Weinstein, has become the subject of some very serious sexual harassment allegations, and there’s building pressure around Democrats who received campaign donations from him to send the money back. And I know that this particular producer was very critical of the President during the campaign and suggested that Latinos in Hollywood would be deported if he were elected. Does the President support the idea that Democrats who got donations from this person should send the money back?
MS. SANDERS: I think that’s a decision for those individuals to make. Whether or not that’s money that they want to take, that’s up to them. That’s certainly not a decision for us to make.
Q And one more, I’m sorry. Why hasn’t the President fired John Koskinen from the IRS, given all the scandal over the — the conservative targeting scandal that he commented about so much during the campaign? Why does John Koskinen still have his job?
MS. SANDERS: I’ll have to ask him, David, and get back to you.
Q Las Vegas question. The President lavished praise on Las Vegas police for their amazing handling and their response after Sunday night’s shooting. Nevadans credit federal programs that train police to deal with terrorist attacks.
MS. SANDERS: I’m sorry, can you speak up a little bit?
Q Nevadans credit federal money programs that train them to deal with terrorist attacks for their great response. You all have cuts in those programs, in your budget plan. Are you rethinking that?
MS. SANDERS: I think at this point we’re continuing to move forward. If there is a moment where we feel like the safety and security of American citizens may be at risk because of cuts, I think we’d have to revisit it at that time.
Q Sarah, the nation lost 33,000 jobs in September, and I was just curious how the President feels about that. And is he stepping up his efforts to convince Congress to pass major tax reform because of this surprising job loss in September?
MS. SANDERS: I think that today’s report shows, certainly, the devastating impact of the hurricane season. But while many displaced weren’t able to work, the economy still remains extremely strong. Those people continue to have jobs, which is why the unemployment rate actually fell.
I think one thing to really note and something this administration wants to focus on, certainly moving into the future — I think tax reform plays a big role in this — but that one of the big identifiers that I think we should look at is the drop in the unemployment rate, including new lows for African Americans, teens, and women, which is certainly a great step forward in this process.
Q Sarah, a question on the Affordable Care Act. President Trump has repeatedly said that we should just let Obamacare implode. But there’s a new report in the Washington Post that says that President Trump personally directed administration officials to deny requests from the Republican governor of Iowa to fix the Obamacare market in that state. Is that true?
MS. SANDERS: I’m not aware of that specific directive, so I’d have to check into that and get back to you.
MS. SANDERS: I’m not going to comment on hypotheticals where I don’t have the information in front of me.
Q Thanks, Sarah. I wanted to ask you a question about the Iran recertification process. Regardless of what the President decides when he makes this decision next week, would you rather not have to do this every 90 days after that?
MS. SANDERS: Again, as I said earlier, we’re looking at something that is a broad strategy — doesn’t just address one part of Iran’s bad behavior, but that addresses a wide range of issues. So that would certainly be our focus.
Hopefully, they would begin to not be a bad actor and we wouldn’t have to do this at all. But our goal, again, would be to address a number of factors, not just one or two things.
MS. SANDERS: It is two-question Friday.
Q It’s been six weeks since the President indicated that he wanted Pakistan to move against agents of chaos within Pakistani territory or areas under Pakistani control. The Prime Minister was here at the White House this week to meet General McMaster. Have you seen any change in Pakistani behavior in those six weeks?
MS. SANDERS: Nothing specific that I can weigh into at this time, but we’ll certainly keep you posted.
Q Sarah, will the President campaign for the candidate for governor in Virginia, Ed Gillespie?
MS. SANDERS: As I’ve said many times before from the podium, I’m not going to weigh into specific races and the actions that we may or may not take.
And I think that’s a great place to end this for Friday, and I hope everybody has a great rest of your Friday and a good weekend. Thanks, guys. | 2019-04-20T11:02:34Z | null | 304.5 | 24,857 | null | 0.449652 | [

Here are some facts and figures ahead of the U.N.'s World No Tobacco Day Thursday.
There are around 1 billion smokers in the world, about a seventh of the global population, according to World Health Organization (WHO) and other estimates.
China has the highest number: of its population of 1.3 billion, about 315 million are smokers and they consume more than a third of the world's cigarettes, the WHO said in a report last year.
Indonesia has the highest proportion of smokers at 76 percent of men aged over 15.
But reductions in smoking rates in some nations "are almost entirely offset by the increasing consumption in many countries with weaker tobacco control regulations," says The Tobacco Atlas anti-smoking lobby.
Tobacco use has decreased in places such as Australia, Brazil and Britain, where anti-smoking measures include higher taxes, bans and health warnings. Electronic cigarettes have also entered some markets.
France reports a million fewer daily smokers in 2017 over 2016.
Tobacco sales have even declined in China, down by 10 percent from a peak in 2012, according to the Euromonitor International market research group.
Active or passive smoking kills more than 7 million people every year, according to the WHO, with tobacco consumption blamed for the death of on average one person every six seconds.
Cancers, heart attacks, strokes and lung disease are the main diseases associated with tobacco.
Over the 20th century tobacco claimed 100 million lives -- more than the 60-80 million deaths during World War II and the 18 million in World War I combined.
At current rates tobacco could account for more up to a billion deaths in the 21st century, the WHO says.
Smoking uses up almost 6 percent of world spending on health care as well as nearly 2 percent of global GDP, according to a January 2017 study in the scientific journal Tobacco Control.
This amounted to $1.436 billion globally in 2012, 40 percent borne by developing countries, it says.
Around the world 4.3 million hectares (10.6 million acres) of land is used to grow tobacco, the WHO says, an area about the size of Switzerland.
Cigarette sales are worth more than $680 billion annually, according to Euromonitor.
China is the leading producer of tobacco, growing about 40 percent of world's leaves, says The Tobacco Atlas.
Five firms control 80 percent of the global cigarette market. The top six made a profit of more than $62 billion in 2015, it says.

Working on an existing building?
By 2020 new homes must be carbon neutral and use 50% less energy than homes did in 2007.
Building permits issued for new homes after January 1, 2015 must conform to the 2014 Vancouver Building Bylaw.
Starting March 1, 2018, the single family prescriptive energy requirements in the 2014 Vancouver Building Bylaw will align across all purely residential buildings 1-6 storeys.
This section includes energy requirements for 1 and 2 family dwellings, ancillary buildings (laneway and coach homes), townhomes, and 1-3 storey multi-family buildings.
New homes with a floor area greater than 325m2 must complete a GHG limit calculation (167 KB) to meet a GHG emissions cap.
To accommodate additional thermal insulation required to achieve the current building bylaw, a floor area exclusion is permitted. Refer to the Thermal Insulation Bulletin (101 KB) for details.
Are you planning a Passive House?
A Passive House build is an alternative compliance path to meeting the Vancouver Building Bylaw. It may also qualify for certain relaxations and exclusions.
This section outlines the energy requirements for purely residential 4-6 storey multi-family buildings. These projects can choose between a prescriptive or performance path for compliance.
Find more information, guides, and resources at the Energy for Large and Retail / Commercial Projects page.
The alternative compliance path is the following performance metrics. This path requires building modelling, see the Vancouver Modelling Guidelines (512 KB).
As an Energy Advisor, you conduct EnerGuide home assessments and ensure homes under NRCan’s energy efficiency housing initiatives meet the required standards. We've gathered some tools and resources for your quick reference.
Energy models we accept and inspection checklists.
EnerGuide HOT2000 models using EnerGuide’s New Homes mode when homes are under 600m2 in area and 10,000m3 in volume.
Passive House Planning Package (PHPP) models by trained passive house designers when homes use the passive house international standard or are above the area and volume limits for HOT2000 models.
Homes obtaining permits after March 1, 2018 with a floor area over 325m2 must complete a GHG limit calculation (167 KB).
Other software models must be approved in advance by the City's Housing Review Branch. For more information, phone the Development and Building Services Centre at 604-873-7611.

The study, which was meant to evaluate the company’s investigational cancer drug, epacadostat, combined with Merck’s (Merk & Co.) (NYSE:MRK) drug KEYTRUDA in patients with unresectable or metastatic melanom, failed to meet its desired endpoint.
Although the ECHO-301/KEYNOTE-252 study “was consistent with [what was] observed in previously reported studies of epacadostat in combination with KEYTRUDA,” it failed to improve progression-free survival in the overall population of the study.
It is predicted that the overall survival standards will also not reach significant enough standards either.
As a result, at the recommendation of an external Data Monitoring Committee (eDMC) who reviewed the study, it has now been cancelled.
Data from the study will be further analyzed and submitted for presentation at a scientific congress.
Incyte stock has fallen nearly 20% and looks to continue this downward trend throughout the day.

Evidence continues to mount demonstrating that high-stakes testing undermines, rather than enhances, efforts to improve education for all children.
The picture that emerges from several studies is of a nation severely hurting its educational system while failing to provide help to schools that need it, thereby harming the nation’s children – all in the name of “accountability.” High-stakes testing puts narrow, flawed instruments at the center of education and leads to intensive teaching to the exams, which does not result in real learning gains. At the same time, many children are less motivated, are denied a high-quality educational experience, and become more likely to leave school before graduating. While state-mandated exams have been the major culprit, the federal government’s imposition of high stakes on schools and districts will compound the problem (see stories on NCLB, pp 23- 28).
Last year, Professors Audrey Amrein and David Berliner of Arizona State University reported that gains states report on their own high-stakes tests do not correlate with results from other exams, such as the National Assessment of Educational Progress or SAT and ACT college entrance tests (see Examiner, Spring 2002). In states with graduation tests, scores on these other exams often declined or grew less quickly relative to the nation as a whole. Their students were apparently less well prepared and less likely to go to college than their peers in non-high-stakes states.
In a second report, Amrein and Berliner examined dropout and graduation rates in the 16 states that used high school exit exams in the 1990s. They found that the graduation rate decreased in 10 states after high school exit exams were implemented and increased in only five states. Similarly, dropout rates increased in 8 states and decreased in 5. They also found that General Equivalency Diploma (GED) enrollments tended to increase and the age of GED examinees decreased, indicating that more students had left school before graduating.
The authors also examined news clips from 26 states with high stakes for students or schools, to consider other consequences. This evidence is suggestive, not systematic. The authors found tendencies toward greater grade retention (a policy that fails to improve student learning while harming children); more students being expelled, in some cases apparently to drive out low scorers; and increased exemptions of students with disabilities or limited English proficiency.
Amrein and Berliner also reviewed other published research that found high stakes cause increased teaching to the tests and narrowing curriculum to fit them, with particular harm to low-income students.
The National Board on Testing and Public Policy at Boston College reported that three-quarters of surveyed teachers said state testing programs were not worth the time and money. A substantial majority said the testing caused them to teach in ways that contradicted their views of sound instruction.
The board released two studies of teachers’ views of the effects of state-mandated testing on teaching and learning, one from a national survey of 4,200 teachers, the other from in-depth interviews with teachers. The studies compared the effects in low-, medium- and high-stakes states.
In both studies, teachers said higher stakes created more pressure to teach to the test. About 40 percent of survey respondents said students could raise their test scores without improving their real knowledge. As stakes increased, teachers were more likely to narrow classroom curriculum to focus more on tested areas and to engage in more test preparation, including use of items similar to what is on the exams.
-Only one in ten urban Michigan teachers thought the state’s test-based scholarship awards motivated their students, compared to one-third of suburban and rural teachers.
-In Massachusetts, more than half the high school teachers thought that testing demoralized their students. Two-thirds of all teachers thought the tests were unduly stressful and unfair to special populations. Four out of five thought the exam should not be used as a sole hurdle for graduation.
In addition to the over-arching findings, the Board reports detail many of the complex and subtle ways tests with different stakes impact teaching and learning in elementary, middle, and high school levels.
A thorough summary of research on education and motivation by a British team found that constant testing motivates only some students and increases the achievement gap between higher and lower achieving students.
The results of the study, titled “A Systematic Review of the Impact of Summative Assessment and Tests on Students’ Motivation for Learning,” rebut the claim that standardized testing motivates low achievers to reap the reward of high scores and avoid the punishment of failure. In fact, researchers Wynne Harlen and Dr. Ruth Deakin-Crick of Bristol University found that the two categories of students particularly discouraged by constant testing are girls and low achievers.
These findings call into question the claims of U.S. high-stakes testing proponents that they have found the key to closing the race-based achievement gap, since the study results suggest that groups such as low-income and many minority students, who traditionally score low on standardized tests, are likely to be among those who are demotivated by consistently poor test results.
The study also found that constant testing encourages even successful students to see the goals of education in terms of passing tests rather than developing an understanding of what they are learning, supporting previous research done in the United States (see Examiner, Winter 1997).
The researchers found firm evidence that achievement of literacy is linked to students’ interest in learning, the degree to which their learning strategies link to existing knowledge rather than just memorizing, and the degree to which they feel in control of their learning. The authors concluded that policymakers must recognize that high-stakes testing is providing information about students’ attainment while reducing their motivation to learn.
A pamphlet summarizing the study, “Testing, Motivation and Learning,” is available from The Assessment Reform Group, http://arg.educ.cam.ac.uk/. See also http://eppi.ioe.ac.uk/EPPIWeb/home.aspx?page=/reel/review_groups/assessment/review_one_abstract.htm.
John Diamond and James Spillane of Northwestern University found that the response to high stakes accountability in low-performing schools may be counterproductive. They closely examined four Chicago schools—two performing fairly well on mandated tests, two doing poorly. All the schools did considerable test preparation, but the lower-performing schools tended to test more, focus attention on those close to passing, and engage in other activities not likely to help most of their students. Since low-income and minority-group students are concentrated in the lower-performing schools, and those schools use unhelpful methods while schools serving wealthier students use more effective methods to raise scores, the results of high-stakes accountability testing could be to widen test-score gaps.
Using data from the federal government’s National Educational Longitudinal Survey, Sean Reardon and Claudia Galindo of Pennsylvania State found that “the presence of an eighth grade promotion test requirement is strongly associated with an increased probability of dropping out prior to tenth grade.” This particularly affects low-income, lower-achieving students. | 2019-04-24T02:33:59Z | null | 348.9 | 7,600 | null | 0.013684 | [

To anyone starting to read this now: get ready for awesomeness and great stuff all along!
Ok guys. This comic is imho a better deconstruction of superhero comics than Watchmen – by a lot. Where Watchmen asked “what would superheroes be like in real life?” Molly and Brennan are asking “What are the actual political and moral implications of superheroes? How do they reflect the choices we all make daily?” But they do that with awesome characters, great art (especially once the color kicks in!) and sharp dialog. Like Guilherme says, get read for awesomeness.
Thanks for adding comments, Brendan and Molly. It’s great to be able to discuss the comic and read other people’s thoughts on it.
I’m glad I found this comic, but I cannot believe I didn’t stumble onto this a lot sooner. | 2019-04-18T13:11:45Z | null | 461.8 | 782 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

The Arnhem Student Point team consists of members from all the universities plus art school in Arnhem and Velp, but guess what we are in serious need of a Van Hall Larenstein student to complete us.
We cook up intersting events and make posters and leaflets to announce them, We organize the Living Room evenings on Tuesdays with the aim of bringing a great diversity of students together to meet and learn from eachother and have fun.
Our dream is to have students from the three universities for applied science in Arnhem and Velp meeting and enjoying each others company. To see them grow as a person and as a community.
Every year a team starts working on attractive small scale events to make our Tuesday living room lively, and explore new possibilities for workshops, trips, and whatever brings new insights into the noble art of living.
This volunteer job requires: 4 hours a week at least, for a fee of 100 euro’s a month. | 2019-04-22T08:16:54Z | null | 595.8 | 931 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

SI-BONE, Inc., an innovative medical device company that pioneered the use of the iFuse Implant System (“iFuse”), a triangular shaped minimally invasive surgical (MIS) device indicated for fusion for certain disorders of the sacroiliac (SI) joint, today announced FDA clearance and full U.S. commercial launch of the iFuse-3D Implant (“iFuse-3D”), the first-ever 3D-printed titanium implant for use in the SI joint. SI-BONE developed a proprietary 3D-printing technology to create an implant with a unique patented fenestrated design and enhanced porous surface that resembles the trabecular structure of cancellous bone. Together, these two features provide an excellent environment for bony ongrowth, ingrowth and through growth.
iFuse-3D leverages the clinically proven triangular titanium design of the iFuse Implant that is supported by more than 50 peer-reviewed publications and has been used in over 26,000 procedures since 2009.
The iFuse-3D Implant’s surface and fenestrated structure were designed to provide enhanced osteointegration and promote intra-articular fusion. A study, published on June 1, 2017, in the International Journal of Spine Surgery (IJSS) titled: Fortifying the Bone-Implant Interface: An In Vivo Evaluation of 3D-Printed and TPS-Coated Triangular Implants shows significant bone growth on and into the implant’s porous surface (Figure 1) as well as through its fenestrations (Figure 2). | 2019-04-22T00:38:38Z | null | 561.5 | 1,419 | null | 0.642001 | [

Pediatrician, Dr. Minette Reyes-Bautista takes us through the definition of acute gastroenteritis and how your child might have gotten it.
Q: What is acute gastroenteritis? How did my child get it?
For older children, bacteria and parasites may cause AGE because they are exposed to a wider environment (e.g. improperly cooked street food, parasites from outdoor activities like swimming in a lake, walking barefoot outdoors, etc.). Some natural disasters like floods can also lead to acute gastroenteritis due to contaminated food or water.
Treatment entails replacement of losses using ORS (oral rehydration solution), zinc supplementation to shorten the course of the illness and sometimes probiotics. For bacterial or parasitic gastroenteritis, specific treatment directed against the organism which caused the condition should be given. | 2019-04-26T04:05:36Z | null | 249.8 | 841 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

The Star Inn is owned and managed by Carl and Virginia. They took over the pub in April 2009 and turned it into a warm, inviting and homely food and drink establishment.
The pub was built in 1839 and has traded continuously since 1841 and still retains the warm welcome that should be a part of any pub visit, this welcome extends to dogs, children and muddy boots, hence its popularity with walkers, who are keen to enjoy the views from the five heaths of Wenhaston.
The Star is on the bus route that connects Southwold, Halesworth and Lowestoft, so it’s possible to take a tour of the countryside and coast, enjoy an interlude at The Star and not have to worry about driving.
For more information about The Star Inn at Wenhaston contact us - call 01502 478240. | 2019-04-23T00:13:36Z | null | 431 | 762 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

In September, colleagues from Associated Benefits and Risk Consulting (ABRC) and Associated Bank joined Women's Advocates to help clean up landscaping at a women's shelter and package daily supplies for on-the-go moms. Women’s Advocates’ mission is to eliminate violence in the lives of women, children and families. The organization provides a safe place where victims/survivors of all backgrounds and cultures can escape domestic violence and begin to heal. They offer shelter, meals, clothing, transportation, personal needs items, counseling, support, advocacy, referrals, crisis phone and other basic services to women and their children daily. Today, Women’s Advocates provides shelter and services to an average of 50 women and children daily, helps dozens of callers to the crisis line, and educates students and professionals about domestic abuse prevention and services.
This is ABRC's second year volunteering with Women’s Advocates. Co-chairing ABRC's Community Involvement Committee for Associated Women’s Network, Amanda Ackmann and Megan McGowan seek opportunities that resonate with AWN’s mission of supporting women. They typically host and organize a volunteer event each quarter. | 2019-04-22T16:53:00Z | null | 260.6 | 1,198 | null | 0.641903 | [

The flagging tool submits videos for review and possible removal.
3 What Does Reporting Someone Do on YouTube?
YouTube is a great way to share information about your business and services with a huge network of users, but sometimes you will encounter videos you find objectionable or possibly detrimental to your company. While you can’t directly remove videos others have uploaded, there is a reporting system in place to have YouTube review and remove content if it violates the Terms of Service or the law.
Under each video on YouTube is a toolbar with buttons that perform different actions, with a Flag icon appearing on the far right. This is the flagging tool which allows you to report a video to YouTube staff for review. Click the button and provide details as to why the video should be removed. If the video violates YouTube’s Community Guidelines it will be removed; but if there is no violation, the video will not be removed no matter how often it is flagged.
If you’d like to have a video removed for copyright or trademark violations, defamation or other legal reasons, you can submit a claim via YouTube’s legal web forms (link in Resources). Select the appropriate type of legal complaint and fill out the form accordingly. Do not use the legal complaint forms for non-legal issues and do not abuse the legal complaint forms, as it can result in your YouTube account being terminated.

Now that our guest bathroom is up and running, our mudroom is well under way and Josh plans to begin the guest room soon, it's time to begin planning our master bath. This was actually the project I wanted to start after we painted our kitchen cabinets shortly after we moved in, but we realized we wouldn't have a shower in the house while renovating this room unless we installed our guest bath first. And, well, you know the rest.
I'm actually glad we've waited a while to begin this project. I've had so many versions of this space designed in my head, and while I love them all, my plans for this bathroom have changed a lot from my original vision. Well, I should re-phrase. The general layout has stayed the same, but the overall aesthetic has gone through a few revisions in my head. At first, I wanted a light, light (almost white) mint green on the upper walls, a white waincotting on the lower half of the wall, and overall, more of an upscale hotel bathroom feel.
Now, guess what? An all white bathroom (surprise!), with a shiplap half wall and a cottagey undertone mixed with a bit of seaside. How does one pull off a farmhouse/seaside cottage bathroom? I'm not entirely sure, but the picture exists in my head, and I'm really excited about it.
I was actually kind of inspired by a photo I took in Martha's Vineyard last September (the foggy beach photo with the seagulls in the collage above). I just snapped it with my iPhone really quick as the fog set in on a beautiful day at South Beach on the island, and every time I look at it, I just feel so relaxed. And that's how I want Josh and I to feel in this bathroom. It's also how I wanted our bedroom to feel, too, so it's nice that the two spaces, which are connected, go hand in hand.
We plan to start this project in the late fall or right after the New Year (it'll probably be after the New Year because, let's face it, that guest room will take way longer than we think). We have to rip everything down to the studs, and have a contractor install a new plumbing line for a free-standing pedestal tub. Then, build the whole thing back up.
- A walk-in shower with a glass door, white subway tile, and downsize to one shower head (currently, there are two, and we've never touched the second one).
- Free standing tub. To be honest, I haven't yet decided what style I want yet (and I say I because Josh has declared he will maybe use the tub twice in his lifetime). I've gone back and forth a lot, and I've ruled out clawfoot (as much as I adore them, I don't think it'll fit with the style I'm going for). Right now I'm leaning slipper, but I'm also really drawn to a simple pedestal style.
- Hexagon tile on the floor, possibly the same we used in the guest bath because it came out better than I thought it would. I was originally thinking a hexagon marble with lots of gray tones, but I actually want to keep it a little more casual, and less upscale hotel). Also, light gray grout. Because grout color is something I never want to overthink again.
- Double vanity with an open shelf at the bottom. The bathroom is a good size, but adding the tub will close it up a bit. So we definitely need to add open storage whenever possible to keep the room from closing in on us.
- A wrap-around shelf that will go along the bath tub wall. I actually cannot wait to install this because it'll up the cozy factory in this room by ... a lot. Still deciding if I want to stain the wood or paint it white. I'm leaning white.
- Vanity mirrors in lieu of medicine cabinets. I've never been a huge fan of medicine cabinets, and I love how simple just plain 'ole vanity mirrors look. I originally wanted large oval chrome mirrors, but after installing the pivot vintage mirrors in our guest bath, I'm thinking I want those in chrome for this room.
- Cross-style and porcelain-handled sink faucets. It's a strong possibility we could end up with the same sink faucets that we used in our guest bath. I'm contemplating a victorian or goose neck spout with the same handles, but I'm worried it'll look too formal.
- Vintage wooden stool of some sort to sit next to the tub.
- Sconces on vanity mirror wall for light. I'm 90% sure we'll be using the ones pictured above. Josh loves them and they were one of my front-runners. I think they add the right amount of seaside without being obvious.
- Gray towels to break up the white and add a teensy bit of a coastal color palette.
- I really want to add some natural or stained wood elements somewhere, and I'm playing with the idea of open shelving above the toilet or on a wall somewhere. I'm still unsure about this.
I cannot ... I repeat ... canNOT wait to start this room. It'll be a long, tedious process, but we've done it before, and I know we can do it again. We learned so much from doing the other bathroom that we think this one will take less time because the room is already framed out, and we can jump right into drywall/cement board/tiling. But, famous last words, right?
I'm guessing it'll be done by the end of Summer 2018.
This past Winter, I started to renovate our mudroom, and talked about the reasons why here. It was kind of a casual process - this Winter I lacked energy more so than usual (I blame all the amazing snow we had), so I was a bit of sloth when it came to working on the house at all. I kind of did work when I felt like it, and would even take two weeks off at a time if I didn't feel like chipping away at it. But now, I'm happy to report Phase 1 is done. In total, they'll be three Phases, so while it's nice to have this done, we still have two more to go.
Our mudroom is a central space for both of us. Even though we have two entrances to the house, we pretty much always go in and out of this one. I had started to fix up this room shortly after we moved in, but I just couldn't quite grasp how we really needed to use the space. So I let the project go, knowing I'd eventually come back to it. I had started with a coat of beige paint, and a new coat rack and even then, it didn't feel right. And after about another year of using the room every day, it just clicked and I knew what we needed to do to make it functional and also, fit in with the rest of the house.
Bad quality iPhone Pano picture, but you get the idea.
The biggest change I wanted to make was the flow. I never liked how we hung our coats on a rack on the wall you see right when you walk in. It makes the space feel smaller, and the actual logistics of getting in and out more out of sync than they needed to be. So we kept that wall clear of any storage, and pushed all storage over to the other wall, which allowed more breathing room.
We started by trying to remove the wallpaper on the bottom half of the walls. And it was IMPOSSIBLE. Like, legitimately impossible. We tried everything, and this stuff would not budge. The only way we could remove it was by ripping the heck out of the drywall. We debated this a ton, and decided that since we were planking that part of the wall anyway, we'd just leave it, and cover it up. Which I know, is like a huge renovating faux pas. I'm almost ashamed to even be admitting we did that. BUT, it had to be done since we didn't feel it was necessary to re-drywall the entire room just to get rid of some wallpaper. So yeah, we did it. No regrets.
Once that decision was made, we started to remove the old trim and the closet door, and drywalled over the ceiling tiles. That made the biggest difference. Having a nice, smooth ceiling helped to open up the space a lot, and I started to wish we had done this sooner.
This was very not fun.
I came in to prime the walls and Josh did the ceiling (since, you know, he has the height advantage), and then we started to install a faux shiplap three quarters of the way up all the walls. I was torn on how far up to go (I debated this for like, months - I know), but something about the aesthetic of the planks going almost all the way up was appealing to both of us, so we just went for it. Thankfully, we were able to re-use the reject plywood planks from our first (failed) kitchen ceiling attempt, so we ended up saving about $100 or so, which was nice.
Me, before reality sunk in that I would not be finishing this wall. I tried for a few days, though. A for Effort.
Installing the planks, we thought, would be simple. I actually jumped right in and started to install the first row, thinking I could totally do this myself. Wrong.
But also, I'm the type of person who, if it isn't 110% perfect, I can't move on until it is.
Here's the thing: the room wasn't level (surprise!). I would start a row, and keep checking each plank with a level, and everything would be going great until suddenly, one plank wasn't level. And I couldn't figure out why. I would take them all out, start over again, adjusting the bottom row, trying new things, and it never came out right. Josh stepped in, and did the whole room in like an hour. I asked how he did it, and he just said, "you have to let go of the fact that each plank will never line up perfectly with the next." He's able to let go of these things, whereas I can't. But, it got done. I was just mad I couldn't do it myself. But anyway, moving on.
Once they were up, I had to prime and paint those. I used, you guessed it, Simply White by Benjamin Moore. Then we installed some trim to join the wall with the new planks, using caulk to hide any seams, and then built a new shelf to go along the back wall. Underneath, we put in some new cast iron coat hooks that had more of a farmhouse feel to them.
As a side note, we just bought this leash for Betty on Etsy, and I'm kind of in love with it. See below for link to the shop.
There was just no way I wasn't putting a wreath up somewhere in this room.
We also really, really wanted a chalkboard in this room. I honestly couldn't tell you exactly why, but whenever we both talked about the idea, we were so excited about it and just needed to make it happen. You'd think we were a couple of 8 year olds or something. We bought a good-sized piece of chalkboard from Lowes, and then cut and stained some 1x4's as a frame, and hung it on the wall opposite the new shelf.
This is one of the many moments I wish I didn't have the penmanship of a serial killer.
The cage light fixture we've had for a while, actually. It was probably one of the first lights we bought for the house (the existing one was red or pink or something and shaped like a flower, so it had to go). We wanted something basic and almost industrial since it's just a mudroom, and I'm thankful it still works with the design after two years of having it. It's funny because we had a friend over that's been to our house several time since we've moved in, and during his last visit a few months back when we had just finished painting the new drywall ceiling in here, he said, "Oooo, I love this light! Is that new?" We laughed, and were like, "No, we've had that since your first visit here, but it just looks better now with the white ceiling."
Finally, we hung some baskets on the wall that I found on eBay to use for mail. We have a serious organizational problem with mail - it ends up all over the house because while renovating every room in this house, we never thought to pick a designated area for it. We got two baskets - one for magazines and one for regular mail. And I love having it up on the walls so it's not cluttering up our dining room table, or coffee table, or kitchen island, or wherever else it was ending up in the house.
And that completes Phase 1! There still a lot to do in here, and you can see that there's paint on the floor, that I didn't photograph the closet area and there's a lack of floor and ceiling trim. And that's because since it's an on-going project. We didn't want to put a lot of effort into clean-up since we'll still be cutting wood for trim and building bench seating.
Phase 2 will be building the storage bench that will go underneath the shelf and coat hooks. We've already planned out the design, and recently bought the lumber for the frame. This will be Josh's first carpentry project, and I'm so excited to see how it turns out in the end. Once that's assembled and painted, we'll finish off the trim on the floor and ceiling.
The final phase, Phase 3, will be re-doing the closet. We have to do some demolition work and drywalling in here. Right now the door is down, and I've gone ahead and primed and painted it. But we can't put it back up until the closet is done for a variety of reasons. So right now, it's an open storage space for lumber, tools and a lot of random crap.
For now, though, we've already accomplished making this room way more functional than it ever was, just by using the space more wisely. And walking into a bright, white room after being at work all day is soothing, and totally makes me smile.
Cotton and greenery wreath: Afloral.com, no longer available, sadly.
Since discovering Fixer Upper a while back, Josh and I like to refer to each other as Chip & Joanna. Josh loves demo day and the actual construction work behind a project. But I'm all about the design and the details, which Josh usually just leaves up to me. It works perfectly.
Bad quality iPhone Pano photo so you can see what I see when you walk in.
Mmmkay, now I can elaborate on the details in this space.
The sink console: It's from Home Decorator's Collection, and it's the Sadie console. We went back and forth on deciding between a single and double vanity a lot. If we had done a single vanity, we would have been able to install an entrance to this bathroom from not only the hallway, but also the guest room, creating a little guest suite of sorts. But most people told us it was so much better to install a double vanity and sacrifice the double entrance. Finally, my mom, who's been a realtor for over 20 years, said this would be better for resale value. Not that we're looking to sell anytime soon, but it pretty much sealed the double vanity deal for us. Plus, with it being a really small bathroom, the extra counter square footage also allows the space to be used wisely. I specifically chose one that had a lot of storage so while the bathroom is small, there's plenty of places to hide things without it looking cluttered.
As I mentioned in the past post, this vanity, of course, didn't come in white. But, it was also the only vanity I found that fit with the style I was going for, had the storage space and was also within our budget. So, we ordered it in one of the colors it came in that happened to be at a clearance price. So we got it, and painted it white. Side note: It was clearance when we bought it last fall, but it has since gone back to the original price, so I'm not sure what happened. I know the Home Decorator's brand website no longer exists, and is sold exclusively at Home Depot now, so maybe that's it. We ordered direct from the Home Decorator's website when it was up and running.
It didn't come with faucets, so we had to purchase those separately, which I actually kind of prefer because, as with everything in life, I'm picky about faucets. I love Signature Hardware's website for these kinds of things, and found the perfect faucet that I had been envisioning in this bathroom. I have a thing for cross-style faucet handles, and found a simple faucet neck I liked, and ended up getting these during a sale the website was running. Because we did some bronze accents, I considered getting bronze faucets, but I'm personally not a huge fan of them. I love them in other people's home, but they weren't something I wanted in this bathroom. I was worried the chrome sink faucets and shower head would look funny if we had other bronze fixtures in the room, but it actually totally looks fine (most people wouldn't even notice). Technically, I suppose it's a design faux-pas, but it doesn't bother either of us. The things you over-think while renovating.
After painting the vanity white, I really wanted to swap out the satin nickel hardware it came with for bronze. Not even to match the other fixtures, but just because I felt like it would add a lot more visual interest to it. Also, the hardware it came with has a slightly more modern look to it, which I wasn't particularly fond of. So, I stored the original hardware in case I ever changed my mind, and ordered new bronze drawer pulls and knobs for the console. And oh.my.gosh it made such a huge difference. These definitely gave it a bit more of a farmhouse feel and it started to look slightly less manufactured, and a teensy bit more custom.
We introduced the bronze tones with the pivot wall mirrors. I had originally envisioned one long mirror with a reclaimed wood-type frame, but had the hardest time finding one that fit our budget. I thought about making one myself, but I just didn't have it in me for that kind of DIY project this time around. In the end, though, I think I may actually prefer the mirrors we got, so it worked out.
Above the mirrors we decided to go with single sconces instead of a ceiling light. I actually had these picked out for probably nine months and they ended up being the last thing I bought right as we were wrapping up the last few details (I waited so long for the website to do a sale, but they never did). I wanted to make sure the light fixtures we got added something to the space without being too overwhelming, and the bronze wall plate with the glass cloche was perfect. And they weren't even that expensive, surprisingly.
The tub/shower combination we kept really simple. White tub, white subway tile, white shower curtain with a curved, bronze rod. We both really wanted shower niches, as opposed to an over-the-shower-head hanging caddy. So we built out two of them to hold soaps and shampoo bottles.
We debated putting in the linen closet because the room is so tiny as it is, but we decided that for the amount of space it would actually take up vs. the extra storage it would provide for towels and such, it was so worth it. From the beginning, I envisioned a white linen closet with rustic wood, open shelving to display our towels and extra toiletries for our guests. You can't see it if the door is open, which is perfectly fine since I know it'll never look this organized all the time, but it's so nice to have. The vanity holds quite a bit, but having this is amazing.
The one major design detail I struggled with is the window. We both know that having a window above the toilet is weird. There was really no way around it without re-structuring the entire backside of the house, though. So we left it, and I plan to look into roman shades for it in the future. For now, though, I just can't decide if we even need a shade, so that decision will probably happen a year or so from now. No one lives near us, so privacy isn't exactly a huge concern.
On one of the walls next to the sink, I, for some reason, was dead set on having hanging wire baskets with towels, bath accessories and knick knacks. I was really passionate about it, and to this day, I can't tell you why. I actually bought the baskets from a store we don't even have here locally, only to change my mind as soon as I held them up on the wall. It made the bathroom look cluttery, and I was kind of disappointed that they didn't work out. But one design element I also really wanted was able to stay. I wanted to have some form of happy, nature-inspired artwork in here, and framed this photo from Etsy of a deer leaping through a meadow. It makes me smile, and I like how it adds a sprinkle of color that ties into the faux greenery I used in here.
Speaking of clutter, I wanted to make sure that the sink console always looked clear, free of too much stuff and very soothing to look at. I didn't want stands with hand towels on the sink top, but you know, you need access to hand towels in a bathroom. So, we both liked the idea of having hooks on the walls for towels. I loved these bronze and porcelain hooks, also from Signature Hardware, because they had a vintage feel to them while still fitting with the style of the room. We put two small ones on each side of the mirrors, one large one on the shower wall, and we'll also be putting two more on the back of the door (once the door is done).
Finally, the door. So, we don't have a door at the moment. Even the simplest of projects never goes according to plan, right? But, it's the exact same door, stain and knob we used in our kitchen (which you can see here). So it'll obviously be getting the door in the next few weeks or so, and then it'll really be done.
And that's it! Phew. It was so much work, and our biggest project to date. I honestly think it will be the biggest project we ever do. Our master bath renovation will be a pretty big project as well because it will entail ripping everything down to the studs and installing a plumbing line for a freestanding pedestal tub. But everything else will be cosmetic.
I'm really proud of Josh for everything he took on with this project. He powered through with cracked knuckles, blisters, a torn ligament in his knee, pure exhaustion and talked me through meltdowns over the doorway and window molding, just to get this done as quickly as he could, while doing everything right. He's just awesome. More than awesome. There are no words.

Sweet Sixteen as the novel using for this year jamb is a guide to both youngs and adults. I can grabbed some facts from this novel that I will like to share from Page 24.
".........parents should not try to determine the future of their children, much of which they will not be a part of. He also seems to be saying that life keeps changing and the world that our children would live in would be very different from our own in a way that we cannot even imagine"
".........parents have much to learn from.... .....children. Young people look ahead with hope, they see opportunities that they could explore. On the other hand, many adults look back with regrets, they see opportunities that have been missed. We have a different way of seeing the world. Certainly, it would be better for us if we can see the world more from the eyes of young people" | 2019-04-25T19:58:41Z | null | 197.5 | 848 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
These windy days are good for throwing heavier lures, lures that fly through wind and are reeled back pretty fast so that the wind doesn’t affect the action. Spoons, spinners, hard baits like crank and stick baits are examples. Plus the trout tend to be more active and more aggressive when it’s very windy.
Generation helps. The patterns have been unpredictable lately. If the dam does run water, it’s usually a half to one unit, but only for a few hours. But with colder days and nights ahead, that might be bumped up. Plus the restriction has been lifted for running water because Table Rock Lake has turned over, but it seems that one turbine at the plant is down for maintenance. We’ll see what happens with generation in the days to come.
Minnows and night crawlers are the hot live baits right now. Live minnows are always good in winter months. We’ve had a good crop of pond weed along our bank with schools of small forage fish moving in and out of this cover. But before long, the U.S. Corps of Army Engineers will open the turbines with heavy current, washing all of it out. You see, most of it is dead already, and it will easily be taken out and down lake. This removes all the cover for these small fish, pushing them out where trout and other fish will feed on them.
Marabou jigs, spoons and small stock baits will be the ticket for much of the winter months, too. Trolling, casting — whatever you want to do — should be a way to catch a bunch of good trout.
For the rest of my report, I can point to my last fishing report on November 20th. Scuds are still the best fly to catch fish almost anywhere on the lake but especially from Short Creek up. Tan, gray and brown are the best colors. | 2019-04-25T14:36:42Z | null | 393.4 | 1,704 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Chicago, IL, September 28, 2003 - GretagMacbeth, worldwide technological leader in color measurement and management solutions, is announcing a new version of its popular iCPlate platereader today at GraphExpo - the iCPlate II. The new iCPlate II unit was developed by GretagMacbeth in response to the advanced technical needs of this growing market and brings quality control for both CtP and conventional printing plates to the next level. Accurate plates are a prerequisite for accurate printing. In addition to achieving a high level of plate reading accuracy, iCPlate II also features automatic calibration and batteries that do not need constant recharging. One single, portable and easy to use unit measures the whole screen ruling range and the whole dot size range. "This new unit replaces the current iCPlate product line. It provides easier and more accurate measurements for a wider variety of screen and plate types, includes its own calibration target and has an extended battery life utilizing only two 1.5V (AA) batteries - making it an essential tool in the press room", says Gaelle Hunt, Vice President Marketing, Digital Imaging, at GretagMacbeth AG. Fast and accurate measurements for increased quality output The built in, high resolution camera system (640x480 pixels) analyzes both CtP and conventional printing plates, to verify and track color accuracy and consistency for the printing process. The camera system is supported by 3 different lamp types providing perfect illumination as it measures positive and negative plates, as well as AM and FM (stochastic) screening on a wide range of plate types. The high image resolution provides all the visibility needed for analyzing dot area, dot size, screen ruling, screen angle, visualization of the dot and the plate characteristic curve. Combined with superior object recognition algorithms, which eliminate dust and scratches as it reads the plate, the iCPlate II provides accurate measurements with clear visualization of the results. iCPlate II is automatically calibrated, eliminating calibration errors, saving time and reducing the measurement cycle - providing increased quality output. Energy Efficient A unique feature of the iCPlate II is its energy efficiency - powered by just two AA batteries, the LED illumination technology provides for a battery lifetime of more than 30,000 measurements, which can be transmitted through a serial interface to a computer. Easy to Use The icon based Graphical User Interface (GUI) provides language independent operation with easy to see readings of plate characteristics - all via a large LCD display. Switching from one mode to another is simple, allowing the operator to use one device for multiple functions while verifying and tracking plate accuracy and consistency. The small frame makes the unit easy to handle by both right and left handed operators and makes accurate positioning on the plate even easier. The unit is cable free and requires little training, making iCPlate II an easy to use and essential pressroom tool. TabWizard II TabWizard II software is included with every iCPlate II. TabWizard II allows users to easily import measurement values and plate images directly into an active Windows application such as Microsoft Excel, for quality tracking purposes. TabWizard II is compatible with Windows 2000 and XP platforms. iCPlate Target II iCPlate Target II, consisting of a reference target and software, tests for accuracy and is used to calibrate the device. iCPlate Target II supports the ISO 9000 process by storing and printing the test and calibration data. It is available as an option or included in the iCPlate bundle package. Pricing and availability The new iCPlate II product line is now shipping through the GretagMacbeth dealer network. List prices for iCPlate II packages are as follows: - iCPlate II - includes measurement device plus TabWizard II - $4,099 - iCPlate Target II only option - $475.00 - iCPlate II Bundle - includes measurement device, TabWizard II, and - iCPlate Target II - $4,480 - approximately $100 savings Trade In Program GretagMacbeth is offering a trade-in program for all customers desiring to update their plate reading equipment.

Wales recorded an emphatic 3-0 victory over Russia and finished first in Group B. England failed to get all three points against Slovakia and with a goalless draw finished 2nd in Group B. Slovakia claimed 3rd place on 4 points and are very likely to advance as one of the top 4 3rd placed teams.
England and Slovakia played to a goalless in the final matchday of Group B. Although England dominated the game by creating many chances and controlling possession, Slovakia’s back line “wall” proved to be tough enough to hold the clean sheet. Slovakia sat back in their own half as a draw would secure them 3rd place in the group with 4 points. On the other hand, England needed the win to claim top stop, but their dominance failed to provide a goal and the English finished behind Wales in group B. The “Three Lions” will now face the runner-up from Group F which could result in a difficult opponent, such as Portugal. Slovakia’s 4 points will almost assure them a place in the final 16 as one of the top four 3rd place teams.
Wales put on a tremendous performance against Russia and recorded an emphatic 3-0 victory. Wales made their mark on the game early on with Ramsey’s goal in the 11th minute. By the 20 minute mark, Wales doubled their lead and were well on their way to their second victory of the group stages. Russia attempted to play an offensive game, but Wales’ responded with counter-attacks that resulted in goals. Bale added his third goal in three games and Wales cruised to a 3-0 victory over the Russians. Their win, along with England’s draw, sent Wales to top spot in Group B and a theoretically easier opponent in the Knockout Stages. Russia ended a disappointing tournament with a heavy loss as they finished last in Group B with 1 point. | 2019-04-18T22:42:53Z | null | 387.2 | 1,761 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |

Judy J Lutz is an Isagenix Independent Associate.
The ability to earn income under the Isagenix compensation plan depends on many factors including an individual Associate’s business, social, and sales skills; personal ambition and activity; availability of time and financial resources; and access to a large network of family, friends, and business contacts. Isagenix cannot and does not guarantee any particular level of earnings. Even Associates who dedicate a significant amount of time, effort, and personal funds may not achieve a meaningful level of success. For average earnings, please refer to the Isagenix Earnings Disclosure Statement at IsagenixEarnings.com.
Results not typical. In a study performed in 2012 by University of Illinois at Chicago researchers, subjects lost an average of 9 pounds with an average of 2 pounds of the loss from visceral fat after 30 days on an Isagenix System. The subjects also had a greater level of adherence and had more consistent weight loss from week to week compared to subjects on a traditional diet.
In a two-phase study performed in 2015-16 by Skidmore College, Saratoga Springs, New York, researchers evaluated use of Isagenix products for weight loss followed by weight maintenance. As part of the weight-loss phase, the participants took part in a calorie-controlled regimen of Shake Days and one Cleanse Day per week and lost an average of 24 pounds after 12 weeks. During the weight-maintenance phase, the subjects who continued the calorie-controlled program using Isagenix products better maintained their weight loss in comparison to those who transitioned to a traditional diet after 52 weeks. | 2019-04-24T08:26:46Z | null | 440 | 1,657 | null | 0.933615 | [

I recently learned about an event for young fishers in BC. The 2019 Young Fishermen’s Gathering was held from January 23 to 24 in Victoria. The event was meant as a way for young BC fishers to connect with and learn from older and established fishers.
I thought that this initiative was worthy of commentary. For one thing, the event underscored the need for industries that aren’t usually appealing to young people to create events and opportunities to awaken young people’s interest.
Take the plumbing industry as an example. Statistics show that the majority of youth don’t automatically gravitate towards the plumbing table at career fairs. Moreover, I’m also certain that most high school and college students don’t tell career counsellors that they want to be a plumber.
Let’s take a moment to highlight the reasons for the low interest among young people in plumbing and other trades sectors. These reasons often include society’s unfavourable perceptions of careers in the trades or vocational industries. Then there are parents who push their children to choose more prestigious careers in fields like law, medicine, or accounting.
With these views in mind, I believe that trades and vocational sectors should do a lot more to hone the interests of young people who might want to explore these professions. I say this as I search the websites of I didn’t see any upcoming networking events, information sessions, conferences, or seminars for young people.
Perhaps the organizations have these types of programs and they don’t publicize them? Or maybe the websites aren’t updated in time. A young person who’s interested in becoming a plumber and visits the website to check out the group’s calendar of events may lose interest in pursuing the career if there aren’t any educational or informative events. Sad it will also be for these organizations who may want to attract a new generation of plumbers or heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technicians but can’t hire because of their lack of events and overall online presence.
Plumbers, HVAC technicians, welders, and the countless other trade professionals provide essential services. What will you do if you can’t find a trained plumber to fix your leaky faucet or toilet? What will we do if we don’t have a new generation of budding HVAC technicians who may be needed to help maintain the heat and air quality in our homes? Trade and vocational sectors, please say you’ll do more to help answer these questions.

For the uninitiated, a play about shepherds following the north star to the Nativity may sound like a snooze. But that’s only if you’re unfamiliar with the comical Mexican tradition of the pastorela.
The birth of Jesus in a humble manger does make it into the last five minutes of Teatro Máscara Mágica’s “La Pastorela del Cielo,” but the rest of the 105-minute play is a zany, freewheeling song-and-dance show that celebrates family, faith and Mexican traditions.
The production that opened Thursday at the Lyceum Theatre is Teatro’s 24th annual “Pastorela,” written by Max Branscomb and directed by William A. Virchis. Each year, Branscomb updates the play with new topical references and recent pop songs, but the heart of the show remains the same — a troupe of traveling shepherds is repeatedly menaced by a trio of devils, but they’re saved by their faith and the archangels Michael and Gabriel.
The story begins in the modern day at a San Diego Trolley stop, where Mexican-American teen Juanita gets hit in the head and travels back in time to ancient Palestine. There she joins the shepherds in their journey toward the Estrallita (a star, beautifully sung by Bianca Quilantan).
Impeding their progress is Lucifer and his bumbling henchmen Satan and Moloch. Fortunately, the archangels always arrive in the nick of time — first dressed as the Lone Ranger and Tonto, then as Capt. Kirk and Spock, and finally as Batman and Robin.
Branscomb’s script reaches far and wide for timely jokes. Disgraced politicians Bob Filner and Anthony Weiner are both satirized, as well as Alex Rodriguez, George Zimmerman, Osama Bin Laden, Justin Bieber and Lindsay Lohan.
The cast’s standouts are the two pairs of actors who face off as the dimwitted devils and the heroic archangels. Dave Rivas plays Satan as a cool “cholo” and Rhys Greene is a wild-eyed buffoon as Moloch. Willie Green’s Michael is a big, thundering goofball and Edwin Ortiz’s Gabriel is a rapping, spinning hip-hop dancer.
Also strong is Brian Doig, who plays Lucifer as an Alice Cooper-like rock star; an upbeat Julie Inserra as Juanita; and the kid-friendly “critters” Andre Gonzales as Crespo the sheep and Brenda Omega as Popo the dog.
The show’s production values are solid, particularly the costumes by Pamela Traver, the highly amusing sound design by Dave Rivas and music direction by Mike Campos, who leads a small onstage band.
While there are some jokes and several songs in Spanish, the show has appeal for all ethnicities. The broad humor, music, dancing and audience interaction also make it a natural for families with small children, though some of the language and bawdy jokes may raise an eyebrow.
“La Pastorela” is worth a visit. It’s a wacky, very local holiday show with a difference.

Sir Arthur Philip du Cros, British industrialist and politician, is born in Dublin on January 26, 1871.
Du Cros is the third of seven sons of Harvey du Cros. He is brought up in modest circumstances. His father, later a well-known manufacturer, is at the time only a bookkeeper with an income of £170 a year. He attends a national school in Dublin and then enters the civil service at the lowest grade. In 1892 he joins the Pneumatic Tyre and Booth’s Cycle Agency Ltd, of which his father is now the chairman, and is made a joint managing director in 1896 when it is floated as a public company.
In 1895 du Cros marries Maude Gooding, the daughter of a Coventry watch manufacturer. They have two sons and two daughters before a divorce in 1923.
In 1901 du Cros founds the Dunlop Rubber Company, converting 400 acres of land in Birmingham to produce and manufacture tires, with the area henceforth being known as Fort Dunlop. The firm eventually diversifies into making other rubber products as well as tires, and du Cros selects plantations in Malaya and Sri Lanka for the company, which by 1917 owns 60,000 acres of rubber-producing land.
In 1906 du Cros enters politics, unsuccessfully contesting the seat of Bow & Bromley as a Conservative Party candidate, a seat his brother is elected to in 1910. In 1908 he is elected Member of Parliament for Hastings, a position his father had held immediately before.
In 1909 du Cros forms, and is director of, the Parliamentary Aerial Defence Committee to ensure funding for military aeronautical development, of which he is a strong proponent. During World War I he works for the Ministry of Munitions on an honorary basis, buying two motorised ambulance convoys out of his own money and helping raise an infantry battalion, being a former captain of the Royal Warwickshires and for some years being the honorary colonel of the 8th battalion of the Royal Warwickshire Regiment. In 1916 he is created a baronet. He continues to represent Hastings until 1918, when he is elected as a Member of Parliament for Clapham, a position he resigns four years later.
His later career is awash with financial impropriety. He finds it difficult to distinguish between personal and company assets, using company funds to sponsor family investments and appointing family members to senior position with no regard for merit. He also participates in financial manipulation, being a close associate of James White, a financial expert who specialises in share rigging and whose actions leave Dunlop, had already lost influence within the company, close to collapse in 1921. He is quietly removed after the 1921 crash.
Arthur du Cros dies at home near Watford, Hertfordshire on October 28, 1955 at the age of 84. He is interred in Finstock, Oxfordshire.

Novelist Shan Fadh Bullock is born on May 17, 1865 at Inisherk, County Fermanagh just outside the County Cavan border near Belturbet. His works include fourteen novels set in Ulster and he is admired by James Matthew Barrie and Thomas Hardy.
Bullock’s father, Thomas Bullock, is a strict man who has eleven children and drives several to emigration because of his stern demeanour. Thomas Bullock works on the Crom Castle estate which runs along the Cavan/Fermanagh border and has both Catholic and Protestant workers. Protestant workers have the prime jobs and are employed as craftsmen and supervisors while Catholics work in the outer area of the estate at unskilled jobs. Folk memories of the Battle of Newtownbutler in 1689 remain long in the memory in the area where up to 1,500 Jacobite troops are hacked down or drowned in Upper Lough Erne when pursued by the Williamite cavalry. Many of the Williamite army is drawn from the local Protestant population.
Bullock is educated at Crom estate primary school run by the Church of Ireland and Farra School near Bunbrosna, County Westmeath. He fails the entrance exams at the University of Dublin. He tries his hand at farming but finds he is not suited. He moves to London in 1883 and becomes a Civil Service clerk. He takes to journalism to supplement his salary and publishes his first book of stories, The Awkward squads, in 1893. His stories are centered on Irish Catholic and Protestant small farmers and labourers and their struggles and tensions. He marries Emma Mitchell in 1899 and they have a son and daughter.
Bullock is well respected in literary circles but his books are never successful enough for him to become a full time writer. He says that the English are not interested in Irish stories and that there is no reading public in Ireland. He dislikes Orange sectarianism and is ambivalent to Irish nationalism. His novel The Red Leaguers looks at sectarianism conflict and Robert Thorne examines the lives of London clerks which is a popular theme at the time. His last and best novel The Loughsiders is published in 1924 and is the story of a conniving smallholder based on William Shakespeare’s Richard III.
Shan Bullock’s wife dies in 1922. He spends the final years of his life in Sutton, Surrey and dies there on February 27, 1935.

Niall Tóibín, Irish comedian and actor, is born into an Irish speaking family in Cork, County Cork, on November 21, 1929. He is the sixth of seven children born to Siobhán (née Ní Shúileabháin) and Seán Tóibín.
Tóibín’s father is born in Passage West, County Cork, and his parents come from Waterford and West Cork. His father is a teacher in the School of Commerce in Cork city and the author of two books, Blátha an Bhóithrín and Troscán na mBánta, on wayside and meadowland flowers, both written in the Irish language. His mother comes from Beaufort, County Kerry.
Tóibín is born on the south side of Cork city in Friars’ Walk. He is raised with Irish and uses the language in his professional career, notably in the film Poitín. As a child he sings in the cathedral choir and the Opera House in Cork. In his teens he joins a drama society attached to the Keating Branch of the Gaelic League. He is educated by the Irish Christian Brothers at the North Monastery after which he leaves Cork in January 1947 for a job in the Civil Service in Dublin.
Tóibín starts acting in the 1950s and spends fourteen years with the Radio Éireann Players. From Ryan’s Daughter and Bracken in the 1970s, to The Ballroom of Romance, The Irish R.M., Brideshead Revisited (TV serial) and Caught in a Free State in the 1980s, and Far and Away, Ballykissangel and Veronica Guerin in the 1990s and 2000s, Toibin’s entertainment career in television, film and theatre spans over four decades.
Tóibín plays Dr. Paul O’Callaghan in the first series of the Irish TV programme The Clinic. He also plays Judge Ballaugh, alongside Cate Blanchett, in Jerry Bruckheimer‘s film Veronica Guerin. He also acts for the radio, such as his guest appearance in the BBC Radio 4 series Baldi.
In 1973, Tóibín wins a Jacob’s Award for his performance in the RTÉ comedy series, If The Cap Fits. He receives an Honorary Doctor of Arts Degree from University College Cork (UCC) on June 4, 2010 and is honoured with the Irish Film and Television Academy‘s (IFTA) Lifetime Achievement Award at a ceremony at the Irish Film Institute on November 3, 2011.

Abraham “Bram” Stoker, Irish author best known today for his 1897 Gothic fiction novel Dracula, is born on November 8, 1847 in Clontarf, Dublin. During his lifetime, he is better known as the personal assistant of actor Henry Irving and business manager of the Lyceum Theatre, London, which Irving owns.
Stoker’s father, Abraham Stoker, is a civil servant and his mother, Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornley, is a charity worker and writer. Stoker is a sickly child and is bedridden with an unknown illness until he starts school at the age of seven, when he makes a complete recovery. Growing up his mother tells him a lot of horror stories which may have influence on his later writings.
In 1864 Stoker enters Trinity College, Dublin. While attending college he begins working as an Irish civil servant. He also works part time as a free lance journalist and drama critic. In 1876 he meets Henry Irving, a famous actor, and they soon become friends. Not long after that, Stoker meets and falls in love with an aspiring actress named Florence Balcombe whom he marries on December 4, 1878 at St. Anne’s Parish Church, Dublin. In 1878 he accepts a job working in London as Irving’s personal secretary.
On December 9, Stoker and his new wife move to England to join Irving. His first book The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland though written while he is still in Dublin, is published in 1879. On December 30, 1879 Stoker and his wife have their only child, a son Noel. While in England Stoker also writes several novels and short stories. His first book of fiction, Under the Sunset, is published in 1881.
Stoker visits the English coastal town of Whitby in 1890, a visit that is said to be part of the inspiration for Dracula. Before writing Dracula, he meets Ármin Vámbéry, a Hungarian writer and traveller. Dracula likely emerges from Vámbéry’s dark stories of the Carpathian Mountains. Stoker then spends several years researching European folklore and mythological stories of vampires.
Dracula is an epistolary novel, written as a collection of realistic but completely fictional diary entries, telegrams, letters, ship’s logs, and newspaper clippings, all of which add a level of detailed realism to the story, a skill which Stoker develops as a newspaper writer. At the time of its publication, Dracula is considered a “straightforward horror novel” based on imaginary creations of supernatural life.
The original 541-page typescript of Dracula is believed to have been lost until it is found in a barn in northwestern Pennsylvania in the early 1980s. It consists of typed sheets with many emendations, plus handwritten on the title page is “THE UN-DEAD.” The author’s name is shown at the bottom as Bram Stoker. The typescript is purchased by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen.
After suffering a number of strokes, Abraham “Bram” Stoker dies at No. 26 St. George’s Square, London on April 20, 1912. Some biographers attribute the cause of death to tertiary syphilis, others to overwork. He is cremated and his ashes are placed in a display urn at Golders Green Crematorium in north London.

I am not a woman, but I love women.
I am not gay, but I love gays.
I am a man and love man.
Guess I will never understand what sexuality has to do with it.
It’s kind of like that race thing that we need to get over.
If it wasn't school. I would be very depressed.
Oh, but I do not love gays for merely their sexual orientation - or women or men. Was Mother Theresa a sexually oriented woman? Gays have a unique essence across a myriad of expressions.
And I do not like all gays, or all women or all men.
I do not regard gays as 'failed' human beings or deficient or aberrant in any way.
Tonight I saw Brokeback Mountain for the first time in three and a half years. It is only three and a half years, but it seems like a full decade ago.
I was somewhat apprehensive about reviewing the movie, since I wondered whether I would think less of it after such a length of time.
Brokeback Mountain is NOT a gay film. On the contrary, it is a highly believable film about a group of characters in a relatively unusual, but hardly inconceivable, situation. As a work of cinematographic art, above and beyond its relevance to gay-themed issues, the film is going to stand the test of time.

Time to break it out again and dare to watch it. This movie is like a novel that challenges your heart and mind to go beyond your normal boundaries of what love really is and the pain that it can cost.
Well, better late than never, I suppose... Joe Quinn.
Bless you for those words, vigo.
I may watch this again soon, too. It was truly emotionally difficult for me the first time. I sat there in the darkness of the theater holding my daughter's hand and cried for my brother, for what he had endured in his life that I saw mirrored in this film. She and I both cried. Now he is gone. It's been three years now since we lost him. He is a spirit on the winds. The copy of this film that I now own, and would watch, was his. I suspect it will be as emotionally difficult for me to watch again, maybe more so. But perhaps I should... and remember.
Joolz I hope that it will help you to watch this movie again, I know how much you must miss your brother.
Joe my dear friend, thank you so much for this thread, you put your heart and soul into it and it was much appreciated.
Miss you and will love you always, hope we will meet again one day in the great beyond.

For some people, their race and/or sexuality is an integral part of their experience as a human being and has affected how they have been treated by the outside world. | 2019-04-18T14:28:16Z | null | 289.6 | 2,630 | null | 0 | [] | [] | true | [] |
Log on to Facebook and chances are you can’t avoid seeing that James, that one kid who sat next to you in high school math, just got back from a really cool vacation. Or that your best friend’s girlfriend Becky just posted a #TBT to when she was on a hammock on the beach, #wishiwasthere. You’re probably secretly jealous. Did you know that, annoying as these humble-brag posts can be when you’re stuck in less-than-ideal weather, they’re influencing your travel decisions?
30 percent of US travelers (that’s you!) use personal recommendations when deciding where to go.
42 percent of all stories on your Facebook newsfeed are travel related.
77 percent of Americans are planning a vacation this summer.
84 percent of Facebook users say travel posts on Facebook influence where they end up spending their precious vacation days.
Makes sense — us millennials love sharing our experiences, hearing our friends’ crazy travel stories and trying to make some unique memories of our own. In fact, we’re specifically seeking out what hasn’t been done yet. I don’t know about you, but I’ll do almost anything for the sake of a solid Instagram shot, #nofilter.
You bet your beach bum it is. Studies show the most coveted luxuries of U.S. households right now are technology and travel. Social currency is in.
To rein in this awesome power for our travel clients, we have to remember millennials want a meaningful experience and don’t want to post the same pictures as that social media frenemy… What’s hot? What’s exclusive? What’s WAY cooler than what Becky posted?
A couple things are currently dominating travel trends —Â namely authentic experiences, boutique hotels, athletic competitions, adventure travel, “voluntoursim,” and “bleisure” (more on those later). Overall, we’re seeing a huge shift happening where travelers are seeking out smaller, less crowded destinations (hidden gems, if you will) with a ton of local experiences and looking for smaller accommodations that let them assimilate into local culture for the week.
We’ll start with authentic travel experiences. This simply makes sense — while Becky is busy Instagramming her chain hotel, you’re thinking “getting off the resorts would be cooler.” So you seek out a vacation that’s the opposite of what she’s doing and look into a boutique hotel that lets you do yoga in a cave (take that, Becky).
Adventure travel and participation in athletic competitions while traveling are trends that follow suit. Plenty of people are now looking to do more than sit on a beach on their vacations. They’re traveling with a purpose — one of mastering foreign terrain, challenging themselves, meeting their fitness and bucket list goals all over the globe, while sharing their successes with like-minded pals. Awesome.
Now lets tackle the made up words. Voluntourism is exactly what it sounds like —Â volunteering while being a tourist — and is also a form of traveling with purpose. A growing number of hotels are recognizing this altruistic desire and are even building it into their hotel packages. Initially, this may seem like a weird thing to be trending, but think about this: volunteering crosses languages. It crosses cultural barriers. It gives you access to the root of a community. And that is rad — how much more authentic can you get than bonding with locals?
Bleisure is something I’m sure you’ve done already if you travel for work — squeeze in a little you-time on the tail end of your trip to take in the sights somewhere you’ve never been. This marriage of business and leisure travel is on the up and up, and destinations should take note — what can you offer tired networking masses? The answer is probably another authentic experience to make their work trip personally meaningful.
As an experience-focused agency, what does BVK do with all this information? In part, it can mean making some recommendations to our destination clients that not all are comfortable with. Like that it’s okay to be odd, offbeat, quirky and not always everyone’s cup of tea. But, we argue, rather than be vanilla and please everyone, you can be memorable and show niche travelers that your destination has something unique to their interests. You’re tapping into a valuable, vocal new market, one that will be invested in the experiences you offer and that will spread the word to likeminded friends both in-person and online. You can also inspire travelers in a rut to get out of their comfort zones by showing them adventures they’ve never even considered (like a circus camp in Dominican Republic or driving through a pseudo-Sahara in Maine).
