Ten dollars. That what you should be paying to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. There were 6.3m other visitors there last year and that’s what they paid on average. That’s also a record level of attendance for the Met which is the United States’s top museum:

The White House is built with Croatian limestone and took quite a while to be fully built. So long, in fact, that the first president never saw it completed. Located on 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, D.C., the White House is where every President of the United States has lived since John Adams. Since then, every President leaves a special mark on the house, changing the interior and exterior ever so slightly. Tours are available throughout the year.
If you plan on visiting North Carolina, you should head to the Biltmore Estate, a beautiful Victorian castle that has 250 rooms. The estate was construction in the late 1800s and opened during Christmas in 1895 by George Vanderbilt. You can take a self-guided tour of the house, and you are also welcome to walk a gorgeous garden. There is also the Antler Hill Village where you can shop, dine, and enjoy special events. For wine lovers, be sure to check out the complimentary tastings.
Previously known as Gresham House, the Bishop’s Palace was created in 1892 and, according to the Galveston Historical Society, is one of the most significant Victorian residences throughout the US. Owned by Colonel Walter Gresham, a Texas legislator and railroad builder designed this home out of some of the finest materials, such as steel and stone, of that era that it hasn’t weathered at all over a century. Check it out.
Welcome to Graceland, historic home of the King of Rock, Elvis Presley. Here, you are welcome to tour the Graceland mansion, such as the famous Jungle Room, along with several museums nearby, hundreds of memorabilia from Elvis’ music career, and even some of the King’s cars and private jets. If you want to experience Graceland overnight, the mansion even has some rooms for rent.
The Hearst Castle looks like a fairy tale destination in California. Owned by William Randolph Hearst, who started the San Francisco Examiner newspaper, commissioned the castle. In present day, the Hearst Castle is an epicenter for art, artifacts, and collectibles from around the world that took over 28 years to finish and has 56 bedrooms, 61 bathrooms, and over 90,000 square feet of space.
In the past, the Third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, lived at the Monticello, a plantation in Virginia. The reason the Monticello is a must-see is because it has become known as a “home of firsts.” The Monticello was the first home in the United States to have indoor toilets, a domed ceiling, and even the predecessor of a Murphy Bed, which is raised and lowered into the wall. The grounds are also preserved and quite beautiful.
There are many reasons to visit George Washington’s plantation. Not only do you get a glimpse of what life was like for the first President of the United States. The entire house is decorated in furnishings from when Washington was still alive—and it’s quite fascinating to stand where he once stood. Visitors can enjoy a museum and a working gristmill. You can even go to Pioneer Farm for a hands-on experience of colonial life. Virtual tours are also available online!
One of the most stunning houses along the East Coast would be the Breakers, a mansion from the gilded age that was constructed for Cornelius Vanderbilt II. The Breakers has 65,000 square feet of space shared between 70 rooms, and the actual footprint of the building covers one acre out of the 13 that makes up the entire estate. It’s a stunning architectural marvel both inside and out.
In the City of Brotherly Love, you can see where the woman who made the first American flag lived. The colonial style house built in 1740 is open to the public throughout the week and is next to a small garden. The most distinctive feature about the Betsy Ross House is the circle of 13 stars on the flag out front. Afterwards, go check out the Liberty Bell and other remnants from the colonial ages.
The Vizcaya is the epitome of Floridian elegance. The mansion was built between the years 1914 and 1922 to become the home of James Deering. On the outside, the Vizcaya looks like an Italian palazzo, along with beautiful bridges, grottos, and gardens. There are also French elements throughout the grounds that blend together for a picturesque environment. A special feature about the Vizcaya would be that, unlike many other mansions that have been converted into museums, this building has kept all the original furnishings, which are now over 100 years old.

When it comes to sports cars, Porsche does everything differently. They are the only company to have a rear-engined passenger vehicle in the United States and one of the few to sell a mid-engined one.
So while most manufacturers introduce coupe models first, that isn’t the case at Porsche. The Boxter came first and then the Cayman a good while after that. Keeping with this schedule, the 2013 Boxter was introduced at the Geneva Motor Show. For 2014, Porsche is turning to the third-generation Cayman.
While there isn’t radical change on the exterior (since when does Porsche do radical styling changes?) Underneath, the Cayman rides on an all-new platform. The wheel-base is wider and longer than the car it replaces, giving a more planted stance and wheels-pushed-to-the-corner look. As far as styling goes, the biggest change is probably around back. There is a re-sculpted design with new, wider taillights that help to increase visual width. One thing we like is that Porsche integrating it’s classic rear spoiler into the design of the taillights. This is a unique touch that helps the new model to stand out.
The interior gets a thorough reworking as well. Starting with the Panamera, Porsche really started to put more effort into the design and materials of its interiors. With the Cayman it really pays off, as the interior is a lot more stylish and well put together. The base model is powered by Porsche’s 2.7-liter flat six, making 275 horsepower. It is available with your choice of a 6-speed manual or the 7-speed dual clutch PDK. The 2.7-liter with PDK makes a run to 60 miles per hour in 5.1 seconds. The Cayman S, which has a 3.4-liter six making 325 horsepower, hits 60 in just 4.4 seconds. The Cayman goes on sale next spring, starting at $52,600. This is undoubtedly the best iteration of the Cayman yet, and as usual, we expect it to be one of the best handling cars around.

Get ready for the real and virtual worlds to collide at Gamescom, where Ford will reveal a new performance vehicle – both for drivers and gamers.
The first-ever vehicle launched at Europe’s largest gaming event, held 21-25 August, in Cologne, Germany, promises to bring the fun back to on- and off-road driving. It will also be added to a forthcoming racing video game, enabling gamers to push the vehicle to its limits on virtual racetracks.K to spend a day with the M-Sport Ford World Rally Team.
With more than 355,000 visitors and 919 exhibitors, Gamescom serves as the central platform for the European computer and video game industry. In previous years, Ford wrapped a Focus RS in special Forza livery, set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for the “longest video marathon on a racing game” racing the virtual Ford GT around Le Mans for 48 hours, and offered gamers the chance to win a real-life Focus RS track-driving experience with tuition from Ford racer, Harry Tincknell.
Cologne has been the headquarters of Ford in Germany since 1930 and the home of Ford of Europe since 1998, with the company employing more than 18,000 people in the area. Nearly nine million Fiestas have rolled off the production line in Cologne since 1979.

— Technology moves fast these days, and there are positive connotations. Leaps forward in technology allow us to do more, be more efficient and have more fun — mostly. But it doesn't all feel that way. This was the fear I had with the 2018 Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.
At its core, the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is a performance car, but it achieves this aim with a lot of technology; a whole layer of it stands between the driver and the road. We've driven technological marvels that are fast but feel artificial. How about the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid? I got acquainted with it on both road and track at the Vancouver Island Motorsport Circuit.
Powertrain
The Turbo S has traditionally been the fastest variant of Porsche's various models before getting into the track-performance or special-edition vehicles like the 911 GT3. The 911 Turbo S is the fastest of the "normal" 911s and the Panamera Turbo S is the fastest Panamera.
For the new Panamera, which was fully redesigned for 2017, Porsche has chosen to go in a different direction with the return of a new Turbo S: electrification. That's why it's added the "E-Hybrid" modifier at the end of its name. It's the epitome of Porsche's hybrid philosophy: Yes, add efficiency, but add go-go power as well.
The hybrid powertrain is one of two the Panamera offers, the lesser of which employs a V-6 gas Used Engine I covered in my First Drive of the 2018 Panamera Sport Turismo. The Turbo S E-Hybrid's gas Used Engine is pretty bananas even without electric assistance, a 550-horsepower, twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8 that makes 567 pounds-feet of torque. The electric motor, powered by a lithium-ion battery pack with 14.1 kilowatt-hours of capacity, makes another 136 hp and 295 pounds-feet of torque. Porsche does cap total system output at (only) 680 hp and 626 pounds-feet of torque, though. It's frustrating (it isn't).
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid has only one transmission option, but it's a good one: an eight-speed PDK (dual-clutch) automatic with paddle shifters. The previous generation of the Panamera had strange paddles — actually push-pull buttons mounted on the spokes of the wheel that you pushed forward with your thumbs to upshift and pulled back with your other fingers to downshift. It wasn't an intuitive system, so we are thankful to see the new car go to regular paddles. All-wheel drive is also standard.
Suspension
The Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid also doesn't skimp when it comes to its suspension, where it gets a whole bowl of alphabet soup's worth of acronyms and technologies. An air suspension with three adjustable ride heights and Porsche Active Suspension Management are standard. PASM is an electronic damping control system that adjusts the firmness of each shock absorber to help keep the car flatter during cornering in more aggressive driving modes or keep it more pliant at other times.
Also standard is Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport, which includes Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus. (Porsche loves repeating its name at the front of all of these feature names.) The PTV Plus system has an electronically controlled locking rear differential, which allows the car to transfer torque between the left and right wheels. There is torque vectoring for the front axle, as well. The only option missing from my test vehicle was rear-wheel steering, which is a new option for 2018.
On the Road
My first drive leg was on the road, so I did not get a chance to see immediately how all of these technologies affect performance. However, climbing into the Turbo S E-Hybrid at the beginning of the day gave me the advantage of testing it out with a full battery, and that meant all 31 miles of electric range were available to use up. And I did use most of it. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid can go up to 86 mph on battery power alone, and it does so pretty quickly. Push the pedal down past a small dÈtente that Porsche has incorporated into the accelerator travel (which is variable and moves around depending on driving mode) and the gas Used Engine will kick on, but I was able to get to highway speeds without babying the throttle.
There are four drive modes available for the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, which can be chosen via a dial on the steering wheel or through the media screen: E-Power, Hybrid, Sport and Sport Plus. E-Power locks the Panamera into electric mode as much as possible to use all of that juice up. Hybrid is actually the most efficient mode overall; the computer decides how best to use the gas Used Engine and electric motors for the speed and conditions. Within the Hybrid driving mode are two other options: E-Hold, which keeps a consistent level of battery charge (if you want to save some for an upcoming stretch of city driving, for example), and E-Charge, which turns the gas Used Engine on to help charge the battery more quickly.
The final two modes are Sport and Sport Plus, both of which keep the gas Used Engine on at all times. In Sport, the battery is kept above a minimum charge level to ensure that some electric boost is available when needed.
We saved Sport Plus for the track.
On the Track
Sport Plus not only keeps the gas Used Engine on all the time, it also uses it to charge the battery at its maximum rate in order to get as much power into the battery as possible to aid performance. This mode is a fuel-economy crusher, but that was the least of my concerns as we headed onto the track.
The course at VIMC is a very tight, technical track with lots of elevation changes. I was glad to be doing lead-follow because there were a couple of blind crests that charge into quick chicanes spread throughout.
It's more of an ideal setting to test out one of Porsche's mid- Used Engine offerings like the Boxster or Cayman[MP7], where their handling and dexterity would get to shine — not the place to test out a 5,093-pound sedan, no matter how powerful that Used Engine is.
The straights aren't very long, so I didn't get anywhere near the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid's top track speed of 192 mph — but I can vouch for its zero-to-60-mph time of 3.2 seconds. The acceleration is sudden and seamless. I can't really say if the Used Engine has much turbo lag, and it proved irrelevant; the kick from the electric motors covers up any that would be present, and when you put your foot down, the car responds instantaneously.
I have a healthy skepticism of all of the layers of electronics between the driver and the wheels on a racetrack where feeling is paramount. What's strange about the aids in the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is that they not only make you safer around a track, they make you better. Coming out of the straight was a long, sweeping right-hand curve that suddenly turns into a much sharper right. The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid, for all of its positives, is a big, heavy car. I got on the brakes a hair late going into the turn and I could feel all of that weight shift and start to hunker down on the back rear tire. But just as the car started to squat, it all of a sudden ... didn't. PASM stiffened up that shock to keep the car flat, the torque vectoring shifted the power around and voila, I was through and on to the next corner with no drama. It was seamless and, in a way, serene. Next thing I knew I was back on the power and the car was humming along to the next corner.
Driving the car hard is uncanny, as you can feel all of these systems working underneath you in real time. But you still have enough feel through the steering and the suspension to give confidence to the driver. There isn't any floatiness, and the electric power steering also offers a hefty amount of feedback that helps to communicate the amount of grip in the tires (which is a lot). The technology layer is there to help you stay safe and quick but doesn't overly mute the sensation of speed inside.
Jack of All Trades
The Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is fast, agile for its size and a blast to drive on the street or on the track. It doesn't have the performance ceiling that you'd find in Porsche's other sports cars, such as the 911 or even the Boxster/Cayman duo. Those cars have handling prowess and balance that the heavy E-Hybrid just can't match.
But how the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid can excel is as a more versatile alternative to those vehicles. You can have a lot of fun and still seat four occupants in comfort as well as have a trunk that fits actual things. Of course, none of this comes cheap; the sticker price for my test vehicle was a cool $216,430 (including a $1,050 destination charge).
The 2018 Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid is an example of technology working right. The suspension and chassis components gave me added confidence on the track, while the hybrid powertrain boosts both efficiency and performance. It's a worthy car to sit at the top of the Panamera lineup.

Posted October 29, 2014 Hi! Here we can see VOR2. We had talked a lot, on my previous posts about GPS. Airbus autotunes VOR's and we can enter it in the RAD NAV page of the FMGC. Just one question: When it autotunes or when we enter VOR1, does it use the VOR antenna's to display it? Or is it the GPS that sends the position to the FMGS that calculates on which CRS of the VOR we are? Because, in any case, when we enter a TRK/CRS and the frequency of a VOR, it still uses GPS (GPS sends signal to the MMR which sends signal to the FMGS, then to the F/D, to the A/P and the ELAC computer and finally to the hydraulic jack) 2) When we lose FMGS, where does the GPS signal go after the MMR? It still uses GPS for the selective mode! Will it go to the ELAC which will decide where to go with what we have entered in the FCU? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Didn't watch the video yet but based on the preview pic of the video you forgot to turn on the ESIS, (switch on lower left for the standby attitude indicator)
Thanks for the quick Alpha stage preview!
ESIS does work. If it doesn't turn on you you that would be a first I've heard of. In fact, now it will work totally independent of the battery and/or avionics buss, since it has an internal battery with ~60 minute endurance... :Applause:
Lighting is not implemented at all yet. The 'Emergency Panel Light" is a stop-gap effect file that will not be used at all once the project reaches Beta state.
Oh yes, 'volumetric props' are now installed and working. :Whistle:.

MS Dhoni: The Untold Story
Cast: Sushant Singh Rajput, Anupam Kher, Disha Patni, Kiara Advani
Director: Neeraj Pandey
Rating: 3/5
M.S. Dhoni: The Untold Story, unlike the name suggest if you thought it is a biography on the India’s most successful captain, then you may be confused, while watching you may feel this movie as a complete real movie vs reel movie.
Neeraj Pandey remains off totally with many controversies ; the IPL spot-fixing charges, Rift with Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir, he even beeps the names of Saurav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and V.V.S Laxman, but again as said earlier the director has made a commercial cinema, not a complete biography. May be some another movie on that someday.
Of course such sanitisation makes the film lose out on interesting layers and complexity, but, curiously, the focused, unwavering eulogising of Dhoni also helps it get an unmistakeable emotional acuity.
Positive qualities like drive, focus and steadfastness are the main attentions and Sushant Singh Rajput catches them easily.
There seem to be no major adversaries in dhoni’s life either, save the circumstances and destiny. Yet there are moments of depression, the frustration in having to keep ducking the bouncers bowled by life while being M. S. Dhoni, the railway ticket collector. He eventually has to leave the platform behind to ride on the train of his dreams. In a nutshell, a life that is anything but extraordinary in its extreme ordinariness.
It’s this unfussy, matter-of-fact portrayal that makes his personal story ring severely true for millions of lives. The dreams and desires trying hard to take wings in the cramped but homely quarter number 142 of Mecon Limited in Ranchi would reverberate with any lower middle class home. Where the father always chides the kids to study lest they turn out like him—low in stature, where mother is always the mediator and children themselves want much more out of life than what they have been granted. It’s the genuineness of the characters in the background which adds to Sushant’s performance at the centre from Anupam Kher as his reticent father, or Rajesh Sharma as quirky coach Banerjee.
The film has a terrific sense of place—the many stadiums in small towns, the coal mines, the railway stations. Pandey lets in the details with some fine little heartwarming touches. The romantic interludes, seemingly unnecessary eventually tot up Dhoni’s heroism—stealing a moment away to come to terms with an intensely private grief, stealthily finding time for love in the glare of media and public eye.
The film catches the game at the grassroots—but instead of the usual portrayal of bureaucratic stranglehold what you see is an unquestioning commitment and passion for the game in the many officials. In a way, the film then becomes a piece of nostalgia, harking back to the innocent days of cricket. However, the film lets him remain in an idealistic bubble. Even when he is shown endorsing one product after another (which obviously doubles up as in-film brand promotion) it does so with a sense of indulgence; the whole sequence playing out like a burlesque of sorts.
Pandey could have come all the way up to the 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup semi-finals in which we lost but then the film wouldn’t have remained the soaring biopic that it is now. To begin and end with the 2011 finals with the breathtaking top shots of Wankhede, pulsating with the cries of “Indiyaaah Indiyaah”, and Mahi hitting a glorious six to victory)

Media Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Date: July 24, 2018
Sun Link Contact: Pat Richter
Public Information Officer
(520) 206-8859; [email protected]
Main Gate Square Contact: Jane McCollum
General Manager for Marshall Foundation

TUCSON, Ariz. – Sun Link will celebrate its fourth anniversary on Saturday, July 28. As part of the celebration, Main Gate Square and Rio Nuevo will sponsor free rides on Sun Link from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m. on Saturday, July 28. Tucsonans can enjoy free rides in the air-conditioned streetcars to access the unique shops and restaurants and many events that day in the five Sun Link districts- University of Arizona, Main Gate Square, 4th Avenue, Downtown and Mercado San Agustín.
Main Gate Square and Rio Nuevo are both located along the Sun Link streetcar route, and have been long-time supporters of Sun Link.
Main Gate Square is sponsoring free rides so residents and visitors can experience firsthand all the great places to go and things to do along the streetcar route. “Sun Link is the perfect vehicle for Tucsonans to revisit our urban core where five unique districts offer a variety of entertainment and food every day of the week,” says Jane McCollum, General Manager of Marshall Foundation and Main Gate Square. “By supporting free rides on Sun Link’s birthday, we hope people will hop aboard and find new shops and restaurants, or visit museums and other attractions at the University of Arizona, Main Gate Square, 4th Avenue, Downtown and the Mercado. And we hope people will discover an oldie or goodie along the way, like Gentle Ben’s, to enjoy free live music that night.”
For Rio Nuevo, providing free rides for the Sun Link 4th Anniversary is a tribute to the role the streetcar has played in promoting Tucson’s economic development along the streetcar route, especially Downtown. The streetcar has been an engine for growth in the Downtown area since Sun Link launched in 2014.
Rio Nuevo encourages people to ride Sun Link because every person on the streetcar represents a car that’s not contributing to traffic. “The streetcar keeps our downtown streets flowing smoothly,” says Fletcher McCusker, Board Chair for Rio Nuevo, “and it helps keep the air clean and reduces the need for additional parking. It’s great for business and good for everyone.”
Sun Link will also celebrate with four live performances onboard the streetcar, and two free concerts at Main Gate Square.
For additional Sun Link information and for trip planning assistance, call the Customer Service Center at (520) 792-9222 (for persons with hearing and speech impairments, call TDD: 520-628-1565) or visit sunlinkstreetcar.com.
CLASS IS FULL - Email to be placed on waitlist…

9/11 changed us forever. Every year that passes brings back the same memories for me on 9/11. I remember where I was and what I was doing. I remember what I saw on TV when the planes hit the World Trade Centers. I remember the events that followed. I remember people walking looking for their loved ones and putting up pictures of their missing loved ones.
Now ten years later, the memories are still vivid. The enormity of the event does not change but it did change us forever. Now on most television channels, they are telling us of the shows and specials about 9/11 which will soon air. A book on the heroic dogs (Dog Heroes) who worked at ground zero is at bookstores for us to purchase. How many shows are too many? Well that remains to be seen as well as what they will be about.
I don’t remember if the 5th “anniversary” of 9/11 brought the number of stories on television we will soon see. I am curious how seeing the many programs will make me feel.
My thoughts go to those lives who were cut short that day, to the families for the loss of their loved ones, to the firefighters and police who came to do their job in the toughest of circumstances. Think of how many live in the area of the World Trade Centers, how many schools are nearby and how many young children were in class that morning when their neighborhood changed in an instant. How are they doing ten years later? How are those who lived through this attack doing today? To those who survived, my thoughts are with you all.
The reality of seeing what happened on 9/11 and living through this first hand is much different than watching it on television.
The 9/11 Memorial opens on 9/11/2011 for the victims’ families and on 9/12 for the general public. I hope one day to visit the Memorial. If you want to go you can reserve a visitor’s pass online.
How have we as a country changed? We changed drastically and so has the skyline of New York.

A month after he was popped for weapons in Maryland, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Delonte West is facing another legal problem — a domestic violence accusation.
According to the Associated Press, the 26-year-old NBA player’s wife filed a domestic violence report against her husband on Sunday (October 25) with Cleveland police.
Kimberly West is said to have met with authorities at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, and then hopped on a plane and flew to her father’s house in New Jersey.
Police told local media that there were no signs of abuse of injury.
She said Delonte West accused her of cheating on him, which turned into an argument where he grabbed her and took her wedding ring and purse.
At press time, no charges had been filed against West, but the case remains under investigation.
The Cavs are aware of the report and are “monitoring the situation”, Coach Mike Brown said.

Economy's Still Stirring, but Markets Are Shaken
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The U.S. stock market almost stretched its rebound through a second straight week, but evidence of stalling job creation and quieter factories tested buyers' resolve, and challenged the assumption that economic momentum will pick up anew in the fall.
Stocks began September under renewed selling pressure when a key manufacturing index shrank to 50.6 in August from 50.9 in July. A reading above 50 still points to expansion, and was far better than the contraction economists were expecting. But the wilting momentum was a cause for concern, and the expanding roster of contracting industrial sectors now includes those in Australia, Brazil, China, France, Italy, Korea, Russia, Spain, Taiwan and the U.K., while Germany and U.S. are approaching stall speed. Then on Friday, the U.S. Labor Department said job growth in August has slowed to nil for the first time in nearly a year, while the unemployment rate was stuck at 9.1%.
Lately, bulls have made much of the divergence between economic cues and sentiment readings: While the data show economic expansion slowing, consumer and business sentiment measures are far more dire and have plunged to depths typically seen in recessions. The implication is that Americans have overreacted to this summer's U.S. debt-ceiling squabble and European debt crisis, and the panic surely will pass once we see the economy clawing its way back from the abyss. What this overlooks, however, is how crowd sentiment can shape behavior, persuading corporations to put off hiring and consumers to hold off big purchases.
So has the stock market sufficiently considered any economic deterioration still to come? At their lowest point this summer, when the Standard & Poor's 500 Index closed at 1119 on Aug. 8, stocks were off 18% from their 2011 peaks—roughly two-thirds of the way toward the average peak-to-trough slide of 26% seen near recessions. All 500 of the components in the index fell that day, and declining traffic was a whopping 589 times heavier than the trickle of advancers. Ned Davis Research also counted five days in August when the horde of decliners was at least 10 times greater than advancers, and another five days when the exact opposite happened, a sure sign the market is groping for a bottom.
But while stocks have rebounded 5% from that low-water mark, momentum isn't yet on the bulls' side, and the S&P 500 is nearly 6% below its downward-sloping 50-day average. Bespoke Investment Group also analyzed stocks' latest pop, between Aug. 22 to Aug. 31, and the results were hardly encouraging. While the average stock jumped 9.9% during that stretch, the 50 smallest stocks in the S&P 500 gained 12.7%, while the 50 biggest rose just 7.9%. In fact, that rebound was largely egged on by stocks with the richest price-to-earnings valuations, the lowest dividend yields, the most short interest. It's a picture of a reflexive bounce following rabid selling, and not of longer-term investors stepping in to buy quality stocks.
It helps consumers that Treasury yields have plummeted this year, which keeps mortgage rates and borrowing costs down. Gas prices have pulled back despite the summer driving season, and crude oil is down 24% from its April high. Individual investors are soured toward stocks, and have whittled down their holdings, and dismal job growth has increased the cry for monetary support when the Federal Reserve meets later this month.
Meanwhile, money managers have suffered through a cranky summer. According to JPMorgan strategist Thomas Lee, the crop of funds lagging their benchmarks by at least 2.5 percentage points has ballooned from 24% a month ago to about 47%, the worst underperformance since 1998. Those trailing their benchmarks by at least five percentage points has also jumped, from 10% to 25%. Whether this is good news will depend on your perspective: Performance chasing by money managers who can't afford to miss any rallies might help lift the indexes. But is it buying borne of true conviction, and will rebounding stocks really signal a mending economy?
The Dow Jones Industrial Average absorbed its fifth loss in six weeks, and gave up 44, or 0.4%, to 11,240. The S&P 500 was up 3.6% at midweek, but ended the week down by three points, or 0.2%, to 1174. The Nasdaq Composite Index eked out a half-point gain to reach 2480, while the Russell 2000 fell 8 points, or 1.2%, to 683. Gold notched its eighth gain in nine weeks, while the 10-year Treasury yield fell below 2%.
DESPITE THEIR RECENT REBOUND, semiconductor and chip-equipment stocks are still mired in a bear market, and are more than 20% off their 2011 peaks. Investors are nervous for a reason: The fourth quarter is crunch time for consumer gadgets and enterprise spending, and manufacturers often order components in advance. Yet sales growth for chips has slowed recently, and concerns mount that the pace won't pick up soon. It didn't help that Novellus Systems (NVLS) last week warned investors that third-quarter revenue might fall short of projections, with bookings shrinking 15% to 30%, more than previously forecast.
Goldman Sachs analyst Bill Shope now expects personal-computer unit sales to rise 6.1% in 2012, instead of 8.4%. That deceleration also could spur more-competitive pricing, and he reckons that selling prices might decline 9.1% in 2012, down from the 5.6% previously forecast.
More importantly, shipments of processors have outpaced those for computers over the past two quarters, so inventory may be piling up. If PC sales don't pick up soon, computer manufacturers may reduce orders to trim inventories. Goldman's chip analyst, James Covello, thinks earnings estimates in the sector may still be too high, and the firm's derivatives strategists recently suggested buying puts or put spreads to hedge ahead of midquarter updates this week from the likes of Texas Instruments (TXN) and Altera (ALTR).
But not all chip makers are equal. Qualcomm (QCOM) makes chipsets used in smartphones and tablets and is a big beneficiary of the planet's blossoming infatuation with mobile devices. Yet shares have corrected by more than 13% in less than two months. Citigroup last week added Qualcomm to its list of top picks, and highlighted the potential upside from the demand for Apple 's (AAPL) iPhones, Nokia 's (NOK) new Windows phones and new models from Research in Motion (RIMM). Monthly sales remain strong, and research-and-development spending should further prod profits and help the company emerge as "a long-term winner in the wireless market."
Qualcomm shares, trading near 50, don't yet reflect that potential. They fetch just 15 times projected profits, a discount to the median of 22 times over the past decade. Growing technology licensing adds a steady revenue stream, and the San Diego company has a stellar balance sheet, with little debt, more than $6 a share in cash and, despite double-digit profit growth, a 1.7% dividend yield.
AS LUXURY BRANDS GO, the Orient-Express group of luxury hotels and trains is as beloved by its customers as the company's stock is loathed by its shareholders. Discerning passengers don black tie and cough up $4,540 each for the privilege of sharing a suite cabin for, say, the overnight ride from Paris to Venice. And a midweek night in a standard room at the Ubud Hanging Gardens in Bali might set you back $490. Yet the company's hotels attract enough clamor to swell bookings 11% year-over-year.
Attracting investors apparently is a different matter, for Orient-Express' shares (OEH) have fallen 45% this year, lagging behind even the 26% drubbing meted out to hotel stocks. It isn't that investors are fleeing all travel stocks, since Priceline.com (PCLN) is up 33%, and casinos like Wynn Resorts (WYNN), 47%. The correction also hasn't snuffed out wealthier Americans' spending power, since many companies selling to the rich—such as Tiffany (TIF), BMW Group (BAMXY), LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton (LVMUY) and even Whole Foods (WFM)—are sitting atop stock gains this year.
Orient-Express is being punished in the stock market for alienating shareholders. During the last recession, when it scrambled to raise money, the company issued enough shares to nearly double its count, which diluted existing shareholders' stakes. Insiders—including founder James Sherwood—control the company through super-voting shares, and haughtily spurned a 60-a-share takeover offer just before the credit crisis, less than two years before shares skidded below 5 in March 2009. With that track record, and with 40% of its revenue earned in Europe, can you blame investors for dumping shares when the old Continent began buckling under a banking crisis?
Yet the share price, recently slumping below 7, may have factored in much of the gloom. Brian Agnew, a managing partner at Caerus Global Investors, thinks the stock should find downside support near the 6 level, where shares began to stabilize and rebound in the last recession. Since that crisis, Orient-Express has pared net debt to less than $500 million this year, from $782 million in 2008, while Ebitda (or earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) could rebound to $136 million in 2012 from $75 million in 2009. As a result, enterprise value could shrink to less than 10 times Ebitda—when the company has historically commanded multiples in the teens, and recently has been selling assets for 15 to 19 times Ebitda.
Orient-Express also owns a majority of its 41 hotels. Many of them, from the Hotel Cipriani in Venice to Rio's Copacabana, are trophy assets in prime locales. Entry barriers often are formidable: Orient's Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, for example, is the only hotel located within a stroll to the Inca citadel. JPMorgan analyst Joseph Greff estimates that shares were trading well below reasonable replacement value, or what it might cost to duplicate the properties. And even as Italian bond yields spiked recently, second-quarter revenue at Orient-Express' Italian hotels jumped 54%, thanks to throngs of English and American tourists.
Greff likes Orient-Express' exposure to the luxury segment, which he thinks will outperform and grow at a 10% clip for 2011 and 2012. Average daily rates this year also benefit from easier comparisons with 2010, when the company focused on boosting occupancy, and which was a year that saw floods in Peru, unrest in Mexico and an ash cloud over Europe. And Wall Street has long since checked out, with only one of the nine analysts covering the stock urging you to buy.
Jobs Scare
The Dow's rebound ran out of steam following a report that showed job growth slowing to nil in August. The blue chips ended the month with a 4.4% loss.

Happy Monday!
Anyone else in Britain confused by that big hot orb in the sky right now? 🌞
The UK is finally having some warm weather - I got to wear my favourite dress yesterday (a gorgeous Fat Face one, now in the sale!!) and I didn't even have to wear a coat or tights. My skin was grateful for the freedom.
So yesterday my mum, step-dad and I nipped into town for a couple more gardening bits. We picked up some inexpensive plant pots and tools from B&M, stopped by at my work for cake (butterscotch tart, yum) then went home to await the arrival of my brother, his girlfriend and their cute pooch. We bought him his own toy and special dog bowl so he can have a drink and a play outside when he's round. We're very accommodating. Oh, and neither me or my mum got round to doing any gardening whatsoever. Kind of typical, really.
I've started a new cross stitch project that I'm half way done with! I will post the finished result on here either tomorrow or the day after. It's floral (what's new) and quite simple, but very pretty. I'm happy with it so far. That's all I'm really doing today, I'm home alone so I'm trying to keep myself occupied in the house. I would go sit outside but the wind's picked up and it's chilly, so that's my excuse.

Steven Rattner — The New York Times:
To be sure, rising stock markets help many Americans in other ways. Perhaps most importantly, they secure pension benefits for those fortunate enough to participate in corporate or municipal plans.
However, the percentage of workers covered by these programs has been declining, from 62 percent in 1983 to 17 percent in 2016. Only about 22 percent of Americans below the median even have an individual retirement account.
These numbers will come back to haunt us not long into the future.
Corporate America did away with the defined benefit plan, aka a pension, years ago in favor of a market-based system including IRAs, 401(k)s, and the like. The effect transferred the financial, intellectual, and moral burden of securing retirement income to the employee. It was around this time that cooperate America relabeled their personnel departments “human resources,” marking their labor pool as akin to raw industrial materials and electricity to run their machinery. All became resources to use until expended. The last vestige of humanity fell away from capitalism.
These investment products require workers to become part-time money managers – a skill the eludes even some in the investment industry – to their detriment. Many don’t know where to begin, or simply don’t give it any thought. In times past these skills weren’t a worker’s concern. Payroll withholding into a pension plan happened without direct employee involvement. At the end of a career, retirement income was secured.
There were many, too, who were invested, but who walked away from their investments during the last recession. A lot of paper wealth evaporated between 2008 and 2013, as many amateur investors didn’t have the stomach to ride out the crash. They sold into the decline, or worse, near the bottom. Most of them haven’t returned to the markets.
We can’t blame these workers for turning their backs. It’s a rational short-term response to a problem they could not get a handle on. I do fear for their (and our) long-term financial future, though.
We all get to the point in our working years when it’d be nice to throttle back, leave the full-time rat race and go do something else, perhaps a labor of love that doesn’t pay much or a volunteer gig serving others. That’s not going to happen for workers who could have secured their retirement years, but who walked away from the markets. This problem will spread and worsen as more Americans reach what used to be considered “retirement age.” And with a live birth rate below the replacement rate there will be fewer young workers to fund increased need.
The plight of impoverished seniors who cannot work, and yet who cannot afford to stop working is going to have a ripple effect on the greater economy. There’s no safety net for them, no guaranteed income beyond Social Security, which will itself be strained. There’s no protection for the greater economy when their impoverishment raises the need for federal and state social benefit programs, and lowers our GDP. The markets will respond accordingly, lowering investment value here as money moves to foreign markets where labor and retiree stability is stronger. The greater financial benefit of the European-style social safety net will finally become evident to even the most fiscally conservative Americans.
And this doesn’t begin to address American workers whose income isn’t sufficient to cover their family living expenses, let alone make deposits to a retirement account they won’t be able to use for decades. Nor does it address the changed nature of employment itself, where a lifelong career has given way to the gig economy.
There will be a reckoning when uninvested workers are of a ripe age, health and age issues intervene, but they cannot afford to stop or slow working. That day isn’t so far off.

Jacques Cousteau's relationship with son revisited in new film
From the 1950s onwards, Jacques Cousteau was the man who taught the world about the ocean. He made more than 100 films of exploration for TV, won three Oscars and his documentary The Silent World took the Palme d'Or at Cannes. But the actor who plays Cousteau in new biopic The Odyssey says he was a complex figure, not always easy to like.
In Britain in the 1970s, Jacques Cousteau documentaries were a Sunday night fixture on BBC Television. He also became the most familiar French citizen for a generation of American viewers.
The French actor Lambert Wilson, now playing the diver and explorer on the big screen, grew up watching Cousteau on TV.
"For me he was a television hero and for most people of my generation he was a presence growing up," he says.
"I would watch with my grandparents and Jacques-Yves Cousteau - which is what we always called him - would always be near the top of any poll of people the French admired.
"There he was on this fascinating boat, The Calypso, with a group of happy, tanned colleagues always eating and drinking. And then they'd jump in the ocean and swim with the dolphins or a whale.
"It seemed a fantastic life - though as we show in the film he was very canny about showing the public what he knew they wanted. With a camera around he was like an actor.
"So 20 years after his death I was delighted to be approached to play him and I didn't hesitate. Well possibly for one moment, because I knew nothing whatsoever about diving. And I had to lose weight because Cousteau was very thin."
Father and son
One of the pleasures of Jerome Salle's film is the gorgeous underwater camerawork, much of it shot off Croatia. France's Mediterranean coast is mainly too built up now to pass for earlier decades.
Wilson loved exploring the clear waters but says the best location was one audiences may not expect - the Antarctic.
"Later in his life, Cousteau became far more interested in environmentalism, which is what took him there. And in a sense, how that change of heart came about is also the heart of the film," he says.
A lot of the drama comes from Cousteau's relationship with his son Philippe, who died in a plane crash off Portugal in 1979. Philippe is played by Pierre Niney and the two actors portray a father and son who can never acknowledge how much they need one another.
"In many ways it is Pierre who is the hero of the film and I'm the bad guy. Or, let's say, I am the hard, egotistical father who is always in America looking for money in television offices," says Wilson.
"I'm also a womaniser and his first wife (played by Audrey Tautou) isn't very happy.
"The family dynamics are complex - as Cousteau was himself - and there are points where probably the audience doesn't like him much.
"The two sons didn't go to school until they were eight and they were brought up in a very particular way. He gave them a huge understanding for nature but I think sometimes he forgot about them. It's something I can sympathise with."
'Untold love stories'
Wilson's father, who died in 2010, was Georges Wilson - famous in France as an actor and a director.
"I became an actor because I saw my dad doing all these extraordinary things on film or on stage and I wanted his approval. And the real subject of The Odyssey is the father-son relationship: Philippe also wants his father's approval but never really gets it.
"I think in general father-son relationships are untold love stories: it was exactly the same thing with me and my father."
- Jacques Cousteau's Calypso to sail again
- Watch: Cousteau's grandson emerges after living underwater
- How Cousteau inspired my love of the oceans
- Archive - Listen to Cousteau on Desert Island Discs in 1982
In the film it is Philippe who persuades his father to take more interest in ecology.
"It may sound odd because of all his nature programmes - but originally he wasn't really a campaigner in the modern sense," says Wilson.
"So we see reconciliation between father and son and that's a high point - followed by Philippe's tragic death. Cousteau went on working without Philippe but I think the loss destroyed him inside: someone who worked with them told me that after Philippe's death, Cousteau was living life but with the music missing. I think he was empty inside."
So did Wilson ultimately feel sympathy for Cousteau or did he cut a cold figure?
"I return to my own father, who was almost the same generation. Men born in 1910 or 1920 were shaped by the war and the occupation in France. They could be hard people. When I told my father I wanted to be an actor and was coming to London to study, he told me I would be a total failure: I hadn't suffered enough in life.
"I think for them, growing up had been so hard that they didn't want to share their territory with anyone. They were like old lions.
"There is something harsh about Cousteau which certainly we don't ignore in the film, but we show something more admirable too.'
The Odyssey opens in the UK on 18 August.

Energy bills, Nick Clegg v Nigel Farage and Gwyneth Paltrow's split from Chris Martin
If people feel like their gas and electricity bills are too high, the Daily Telegraph's lead story suggests that a watchdog agrees with them.
Ofgem is expected to refer the energy sector to the Competition and Markets Authority over claims of profiteering, says the paper.
Still, the Daily Express hails good news for householders after one firm, SSE, froze prices until 2016. Its front page predicts "cheaper energy bills for millions" and raises the prospect of a price war among the "big six" suppliers.
The Daily Mail, however, points out there are "already many cheaper deals available which last for even longer". According to the Daily Mirror, Labour leader Ed Miliband can feel "vindicated" because the development proves that suggestions his energy price freeze plan would lead to economic ruin were "scaremongering nonsense".
But the Daily Telegraph argues that there is a gulf between Mr Miliband's promises and the "real costs of their implementation".
The Independent notes that the firm is scaling back investment in wind farms and cutting 500 jobs, adding: "If we needed evidence that there is no quick and painless fix to the problem of high energy prices, SSE has just proved it."
The paper suggests it's no coincidence that SSE acted ahead of the expected competition inquiry. This review, says the Financial Times, should offer an "opportunity for a detached assessment of the charges laid by politicians. Mr Miliband and others have after all failed to produce compelling evidence to back their claims of profiteering".
Split decision?
Sketchwriters were dispatched to sample the atmosphere at the debate between UKIP's Nigel Farage and Lib Dem Nick Clegg over Britain's EU membership.
Ann Treneman, in the Times, describes her disappointment at discovering Europe was, indeed, the topic for discussion. "I had hoped for something else. Still, at least they properly don't like each other," she writes.
"Nigel Farage shone," says the Telegraph's Michael Deacon, adding that he meant his skin, rather than his performance: "A sign of righteous conviction? Or nerves?" The Independent's Donald MacIntyre contrasts Mr Clegg, a "conventional politician", with his opponent who "may be at heart steeped in 1950s nostalgia but is a good deal more post-modern about the facts".
The Daily's Express's Macer Hall, meanwhile, notes that Mr Clegg's "old tricks of speaking directly into the camera and to members of the audience were trotted out once again" but that he was given a "serious verbal pummelling". Meanwhile, the Daily Mail's Quentin Letts wonders: "Who'd choose one of these jabbering maniacs to rule us?"
And the Guardian's Esther Addley asks: "Weren't there a couple of conspicuous figures missing: the leaders of the only two parties that have any possible chance of forming a government that could actually do something about Britain's position in Europe?"
So who won?
"Farage bashes Clegg," is the Express's verdict, while the Times offers marks out of five in categories such as key arguments, best statistics, funniest jokes and screen appeal, before awarding the contest to the UKIP leader by a point. The Mirror scores it the other way by the same margin.
The Telegraph asks four writers to give their verdicts, with three handing victory to Mr Clegg and one undecided. A snap poll of people who matter - the voting public - awarded the contest to Mr Farage, by 57% to 36%. However, the YouGov poll - for the Sun - showed both leaders enjoyed a ratings boost as a result of the debate, with an increase percentage of respondents saying they had a positive impression of them afterwards.
What's clear, suggests the Independent, is that - by not taking part - Labour and the Conservatives lost.
Split decision
Many column inches are dedicated to the separation of Coldplay frontman Chris Martin from actress Gwyneth Paltrow. And while the tabloids speculate about the background to the split, the Times notes that the pair have begun their new lives apart "together, with a family holiday in the Bahamas".
However, it's their description of a "conscious uncoupling" that provokes most comment. And there is little sympathy in evidence.
"Most people reading that will be consciously vomiting," suggests the Daily Star. The Daily Mail's Jan Moir agrees that it's "sickly, self-serving twaddle", describing the phrase as: "An irony-free chunk of classic Paltrow pretentiousness.... Being 'consciously uncoupled' certainly made breaking up the family home and 'co-parenting' nine-year-old Apple and Moses, seven, seem like something holistic and pure."
Allison Pearson, in the Telegraph, agrees the term is "hilariously precious", suggesting it sounds like "something Percy does to Gordon in Thomas the Tank Engine". But she concludes: "If, in the end, 'conscious uncoupling' is just Californian for 'amicable separation', so what? It's better than a train wreck."
The Independent's John Walsh, meanwhile, imagines alternative descriptions of famous break-ups, such as the "psychic sundering" of Henry VIII and Catherine of Aragon, or the "vodka-based domestic realignment" of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.
Meanwhile, Martin doesn't emerge unscathed. Setting out five traumas (for the public) caused by the break-up, the Daily Mirror's Polly Hudson describes Coldplay's back catalogue as "dirgey, whiny, mopy and limp", adding: "Chris Martin wrote all that when he was supposedly happily married. Can you imagine how whingey the next Coldplay album will be?"
As though in answer, the Daily Telegraph prints lyrics it describes as "born of a broken heart" from the band's recently-released single, Magic.
There are "no Gwynners" in such a situation, says the Sun, adding: "It's so much sadder than the unconscious coupling after the pub which has launched so many fine relationships."
Animals and war
Russia's takeover of Ukraine's naval assets in Crimea is complete, reports the Telegraph, with 51 of Kiev's fleet now flying the Russian flag.
But Moscow also has control over its neighbour's pod of combat dolphins, reports Roland Oliphant from Simferopol. The unit was trained to locate mines, mark underwater obstacles and detect - or even kill - enemy frogmen in the 1960s, before being inherited by Ukraine after the collapse of the Soviet Union, he explains.
Back in the UK, the Army has unveiled its latest weapon - "a bomb-sniffing dog that is also able to attack the enemy" - reports the Times. The paper says that while the Army has used dogs since before World War One, the 249-strong unit is the first to take on the dual role.
Meanwhile, the Daily Mirror says the Ministry of Defence (MoD) has become embroiled in an animal cruelty row after a freedom of information request revealed that between 2010 and 2012, 115 live pigs had been "strapped into body armour and blown to pieces" for research into battlefield blast injuries.
Animal rights campaigners say it's impossible to justify, while the MoD is quoted as saying the animals were anaesthetised and "humanely culled" afterwards and that some developments cannot be brought about without using animals.

Project 244 was a gallery created specifically to exhibit contemporary, living artists at the Cleveland Museum of Art. We created this logo to work in the gallery space, on printed material for museum members and advertising. We wanted a clean, contemporary feel, something that was less traditional than the rest of the museum. You can see this in use in my Metascape Intro project.
Thank You!

Derbyshire County Council has agreed to axe the role of chief executive and cut its top management team.
Councillors approved the proposals - which will save more than £300,000-a-year - during a meeting on Wednesday.
The plans will result in two existing top-tier posts being abolished - the assistant chief executive and the strategic director of corporate resources - in addition to that of chief executive.
A single new post, a strategic director of commissioning, communities and policy, will be created. This role will 'focus on making sure the council provides quality services which are good value for money', according to a spokesman for the Conservative-led authority.
Councillor Barry Lewis, leader of the council, said: "It's our public duty to constantly look for savings to balance our books.
"That sometimes means being bold and doing things differently − it's the right thing to do because every saving we make helps us to carry on providing quality frontline services for the people of Derbyshire.
"We have been as open and transparent as we can possibly be, given that individual employees are affected.
"But I want to be absolutely clear that, while the legal rights of the employees will of course be respected, there is no intention of making any 'golden handshake' payments."
He added: "As well as cutting costs on senior managers, we've also reduced the allowances paid to our councillors holding positions on cabinet by around 12 per cent, saving the council just under £29,000 a year."
The council is currently consulting with affected employees and it is expected that the new management structure will be implemented towards the end of the year.

US Nuclear Corp. Partner Achieves Historic Milestone for Nuclear Fusion
Good news for Cancer and Heart Patients
Los Angeles, CA, Aug. 29, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NEWMEDIAWIRE -- US Nuclear Corp. (OTC:UCLE):
US Nuclear Corporation's partner recently achieved a significant milestone in nuclear fusion by exceeding 1010 neutrons per pulse with MIFTEC Fusion power technology designed for use in US Nuclear Isotope generator. This historic, high level neutron flux is far above what any other fusion company has ever achieved, and is a large step towards the final goal of producing medical isotopes in a localized medical setting.
The method that US Nuclear Corp. and MIFTEC Laboratories Inc. are working to develop.
We are proud of the many accomplishments reached to date, including:
- US Patent issue for radionuclide production using Z- pinch neutron source.
- Department of Energy Advanced Research Projects (DOE/ARPA – E) - $5.1M awardee.
- Ongoing collaborations with the University of California, San Diego and the University of Nevada, Reno National Terraw.
The current state of medical isotope production is precarious at best. Worldwide demand is primarily dependent on 5 aging nuclear reactors approaching the end of their operational usefulness. Prominent closures of two reactors this year in Australia and Canada, highlight the urgency for a new method to produce these valuable isotopes already in short supply.
Conclusion
CEO Robert, and the environmental benefit of a non-proliferating process that precludes the hazards of fission-based methods, should make for important upgrades ahead in the vital medical isotope supply chain."

Each health specialty requires different things from its electronic health record (EHR) software. The particular needs of behavioral and mental health, including addiction treatment, require a unique approach to EHR.
What should behavioral health and addiction treatment professionals look for in their EHR?
- Designed for Behavioral Health
The first thing that behavioral health providers should look for in an EHR system is a solution that has been designed for their industry. Although there are many excellent products on the market, professionals can save time, money, and headaches by seeking out solutions that were designed with their particular needs in mind.
Besides being designed for behavioral health in general, professionals should look for EHR that can be customized to their particular practice, and can be adapted to future plans and changes.
- Treatment Plan Support
Behavioral health and substance-abuse treatments require more than just a round of antibiotics or a vaccine. Depression, schizophrenia, opioid addiction, and other behavioral health conditions usually require long-term and often lifelong treatment plans. Not only that, but each patient requires a unique approach. Providers often must try a combination of treatment options before finding one best suited for an individual patient.
Because of this, the EHR should also be designed to support these different treatment plans. Behavioral-health EHR should support both the short- and long-term goals of a treatment plan, including interventions and relapse prevention.
- Coordinated Billing
Coordinated care is important for behavioral health professionals since their patients often present with comorbidities and multiple diagnoses. For the same reasons, coordinated billing is just as important.
An EHR solution should attempt to reduce these challenges as much as possible. An EHR that allows you to track billing and partner with outside billing contractors can help reduce errors and costs and streamline administration.
- Medication Management
Behavioral health and addiction treatment providers usually prescribe multiple medications to each of their patients. Because of this, an EHR for behavioral health providers must include a medication management feature.
Prescribers should be able to use the EHR to create electronic prescriptions. This should include medication-assisted treatment for addiction, as well as other controlled substances. The EHR should also help users monitor their patients’ medications and warn them of any possible interactions.
- Thorough Training for Use
The chosen product and vendor should provide ample opportunities to make the learning process go as smoothly as possible and ensure that all users are comfortable with the solution. The right EHR should come with training, tutorials, demos, as well as easily accessible support and troubleshooting. Providers who choose a free demo option should make note of how the vendor responds to their questions, as this gives a good insight into their customer service.
Created With Behavioral Health and Addiction Recovery in Mind
BestNotes is an all-in-one solution that is uniquely designed for behavioral health and substance abuse professionals. Use it to manage admissions, intake, assessments, treatment plans, medications, billing, lab results, and more.
BestNotes also provides straight forward pricing, month-to-month contracts, and user support. Contact us today for a free demo

West Ham will auction shirts worn in this weekend’s London derby to raise money in aid of the Mexican earthquake.
Mexican striker Javier Hernandez, 29, is leading the #YoXMexico initiative alongside international team-mate Miguel Layun.
The Hammers will double the proceeds, which will help deliver food and supplies to victims of the disaster.
“Seeing the suffering of our compatriots has been very painful,” said Hernandez.
The 7.1-magnitude earthquake struck southern Mexico on Tuesday, leaving thousands of families homeless and killing 273 people.
“We know that many see us as a source of inspiration, but in this case, what has inspired us is to see millions of Mexicans take to the streets and to lend a hand without asking for anything in return,” Hernandez said.
“We hope, with this initiative, to help those who need it and motivate more people to do it with us.
“Miguel and I are very grateful to have the backing of everyone at West Ham United and all of its supporters at this difficult time for our country.
“It is a fantastic gesture and we hope it can help us raise funds that will make a difference in Mexico.”
West Ham host Tottenham at London Stadium on Saturday (12:30 BST) and a number of shirts are already available, with Hernandez’s No 17 currently reaching a bid of £2,501.

XXXIX.
THE NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE CHERUBlM.*
Even in the first pages of the book of Genesis, we find that beautiful combination of justice and mercy which makes the Bible a perfect revelation. There is threatening here, but there is promise also,— not far from every curse you will find the announcement of a blessing. By the dim light of these early records, we can see that the picture of God's character drawn for the childhood of the race was symmetrical and true,— the main features were there, and all later revelations have only more perfectly displayed and unfolded them.
He is very far from the truth who supposes that the religion of mankind had its origin only in human fears,— even the preparatory dispensations were full of comfort and promise. Man's sin had opened a Pandora's box of ills, and had sent them forth to desolate the world, but hope was still suffered to remain. On the one hand, the curse was alleviated by being made the occasion of incidental blessing. The necessity of labor, which seemed so hard at first, was made the means of developing human resources and ensuring human progress, while it restrained in no small degree the growth of human sin. The supreme sorrow of woman was made her honor, — she who had brought sin into the world and all our woe, was permitted to bring into the world its Savior and to transmit to all generations the blessings of his salvation. Even the gloom of death was lighted up when it became to the righteous the gateway of escape from the toils and sorrows of life, and of entrance upon a happier and holier state of being.
But besides these incidental blessings which were made by divine mercy to alleviate the terrors of the sentence against sin, a still greater blessing was bestowed in the assurance that sin itself should be finally done away. This assurance was given in direct promise. The serpent should be crushed, bruised, trampled in the dust by the woman's seed,— all subjection to him should cease,— complete victory over all his arts and powers should be achieved. It was given, too, in symbol. The skins of animals offered in sacrifice, with which it is more than probable that our first parents were clothed by God, afforded a beautiful type of that divine righteousness, secured only by the death of another, with which God would clothe their guilty souls. And yet another symbolic lesson of hope and comfort was given in the Cherubim, which were stationed at the entrance of Eden, after man was banished from the garden.
With regard to the meaning of these mysterious forms, there has been
* A sormon upon the text. Genesis 3 : 34 —" So he drove out the man, and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a naming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
the greatest diversity of opinion. Yet, amid the multitude of explanations, I am satisfied that there is one which not only harmonizes the Scriptural accounts, but furnishes important practical instruction. In considering this difficult subject — the nature and purpose of the cherubim — let us first free ourselves from certain common misconceptions of the narrative in Genesis. .You remember that man, having disobeyed his Creator, and having set himself in opposition to the will of God, came to know good only by the loss of it, and to know evil by sad and bitter experience. Since he had forsaken God, the source of life, he was driven forth from "the tree of life," and "the land of life." "And God placed at the east of the garden of Eden cherubim, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life."
The common impression with regard to this passage is that the cherubim are executors of the divine vengeance, and that they stand at the gates of Eden brandishing the sword of flame, and barring all return. This is nearly the view which Milton takes in the closing lines of Paradise Lost; there the sinning pair,
"Hand in baud, with wandering steps and slow,
Through Eden take their solitary way,"
"And looking back, ail the eastern side behold
Of Paradise, so late their happy seat.
Waved over by that flaming brand; the gate
With dreadful faces thronged, and flery arms."
But a slight examination of the text suffices to show that the sword and the cherubim are not necessarily connected, as both of them and equally manifestations of divine wrath,— they are rather placed side by side as distinct and separate symbols,—while the word which describes their office is a word capable of double meaning, and admits the supposition that the purpose of the cherubim, and the purpose of the sword, were radically different.
There is nothing in this text of Genesis to forbid our believing that in these symbolic forms of sword and cherubim, stationed at the entrance of Eden, we have an example of that constant juxtaposition of the emblems of justice and mercy which meets us throughout the Bible. The establishment of this view will occupy us further on. It is sufficient here to say, that I find in the flaming sword the emblem of God's avenging justice,— and in this its whole meaning is exhausted. The cherubim, on the other hand, were meant, as I believe, not to terrify, but to inspire with hope. The sword meant judgment only,— the cherub-forms meant mercy. Even in driving forth his creatures from Paradise, God did not manifest himself in unmitigated wrath, nor send them forth into a rayless gloom of toil and suffering and death. As our first parents turned sorrowfully to take one last passionate look at the home of their innocence, never more to be theirs on earth, they saw the flaming sword indeed,— that told them of injured holiness forbidding all approach,— but side by side with that flame-like sword, were the glorious figures of the cherubim, teaching them that the Paradise they had lost should be reserved for them, until they should return to it again, fitted for more exalted enjoyments aud possessed of a more perfect nature than they had before the fall. The cherubim were not vague images of terror, but symbols of mercy and restoration, inspiring the exiled pair with hope and courage. The sword was the image of justice, keeping the way of the tree of life from unholy man. The cherubim were the image of mercy, keeping the way of the tree of life for man, when once he should be redeemed and perfected by God's discipline of grace,— and holding out to him, amidst his woe, the promise of a Paradise Regained.
This passage in Genesis, taken by itself, throws but little light upon the form of the cherubim. There is no description of them,— it is taken for granted, indeed, that the figures are already known. The etymology of the word "cherub" is involved in hopeless obscurity. We are left to the intimations of other parts of Scripture, therefore, for almost all our knowledge respecting them. There are, fortunately, three other places in the sacred record where these symbolic forms appear. In the 25th chapter of Exodus, Moses is directed to make two golden cherubim, one at each end of the mercy-seat in the holy of holies. The two are to look toward each other and toward the mercy-seat, where the divine glory was manifested and the Almighty made his throne. But even in the narrative of the book of Exodus, so full of detailed description of the tabernacle and all its furniture, there is almost complete silence respecting the object or appearance of these figures of gold. Nothing is told us of their structure, except that they had wings stretched forth on high which covered the mercy-seat, and faces bent downwards, it may be, in the attitude of adoration.
Pass on, then, from book to book of the Old Testament, and you find no other description, until you reach Ezekiel's visions of what he calls "the living creatures," in the first and tenth chapters of his prophecy. He beholds four glorious forms, each having four faces and four wings. Only one of these faces is the face of man,— the three others are the faces respectively of an ox, a lion, and an eagle. Each one of these living creatures has the hands of a man. Immense revolving wheels are underneath each one, carrying them, with the speed of a meteor-flash, wherever they will go. These four bear aloft a sapphire pavement upon which rests a throne,—and upon the throne sits God himself. This description of the living creatures of Ezekiel's vision is connected with the earlier part of our investigation by a single sentence of the prophet, which reads: "And I knew that they were the cherubim,"—those sacred figures, namely, with which he had been familiar when performing his duties as priest in the temple. The living creatures and the cherubim, therefore, are one and the same.
From this point we must take a long leap before we find another reference to them, and when we find it, it is the last of all, and in the last book of the Bible. In the Revelation of John, we read of the "four beasts," that worship and adore in the innermost circle of heaven. Consult the original, and you find that this word "beasts" is an utter mistranslation. The word is the same as that translated "living creatures " in Ezekiel. Not only is the same name applied to them, but there is a remarkable similarity of description. The sumo composite forms appear in the Revelation that meet us in Ezekiel's prophecy, but each has not four faces as there. Yet each has a face after one of the four types,— there is one face of an ox, one of an eagle, one of a lion, and one of a man. Here too, the number of wings is not four but six. In Ezekiel's vision, the wheels are full of eyes,— here there are no wheels, but the living creatures themselves, around and within, are full of eyes. There can be little question, then, that the cherubim of the tabernacle and temple, the living creatures of Ezekiel, and the hymning "beasts" of the Revelation, are one and the same symbol.
From these Biblical descriptions certain deductions may be drawn, which may gradually open to us the design and nature of the cherubim. First, then, the cherubim are artificial, temporary, symbolic figures,— not actual, personal, eternal existences. They are not personal beings, of a higher order than man, ranging with archangels and the principalities of heaven,— but they are rather types and representations of spiritual existence. This we may infer from the fact that they assume different shapes and appearances, according to the ends to be attained by their appearances, each having variously four faces or one fuce, six wings or four wings, a multitude of eyes, or none at all. They appear, too, only at times when God is speaking in the language of symbol, as in the visions of John and Ezekiel, over the mercyseat, or at the gates of Eden. They never speak to men nor hold communication with men. Their whole aim seems accomplished, when they have once set forth the idea of an existence near to God, and subservient to his will.
Secondly, while they are not themselves personal existences, they are symbols of personal existence — symbols not of divine nor angelic perfections, but of human nature. Two main facts make it clear that they are emblems of human nature. On the one hand the predominating appearance of them, as Ezekiel tells us, is that of a man. Their upright posture and gestures indicate that the body is human. There are the hands of a man under their wings. In Revelation, though only one of them had the face of a man, all four had a human body. In truth, all the descriptions agree with the prophet's words: "And this was their appearance — they had the likeness of a man." Another fact, and one which furnishes the key to the whole mystery, is given us by John. We read that the four living creatures with the four and twenty elders, fall down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps and golden bowls full of odors,— aud thus prostrate before the throne, they sing this new song: "Thou art worthy to take the book and to open the seals thereof, for thou wast slain and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, and hast made us unto our God kings and priests,- and we shall reign on the earth." This is the song of the redeemed. Can it be the song of angels or archangels? Has Christ been slain for the redemption of angels? Let the author of the epistle to the Hebrews answer: "Verily, he took not on him the nature of angels, but he took on him the seed of Abraham." Moreover we have only to look a few verses further in the Revelation, and we find that the song of the angels is a totally distinct and separate one — a song in which there is no note of praise like this: "Thou hast redeemed us to God by thy blood, and hast made us kings and priests unto God, and we shall reign on the earth." This is tho new song of redeemed humanity, which "none can learn except those who have been redeemed from the earth."
In this reference to the book of Revelation, I have followed the Authorized Version, in spite of the fact that the Revised Version omits the word "us," and substitutes in italics the word "men"—a change which might intimate that the cherubim do not identify themselves with redeemed humanity. The reading of the Authorized Version has better textual support, and has the advantage of assigning an object to the verb "redeemed," while the text followed by the Revised Version gives the verb no expressed object, but is obliged, in a somewhat unnatural way, to supply one. I regard the view I have propounded as the most probable one, apart from the testimony of this particular passage,— with this passage, it appears to me to have the force of demonstration. Over against the view we adopt, however,— the view that the cherubim are symbols of redeemed humanity — there stands another view which I must mention, this, namely, that the cherubim are symbols of nature, as pervaded by the divine energy and as subordinated to the divine purpose. Those who hold this view would say that in the cherubim the world of nature, including both the material and the brute creation, is represented as praising God. I am persuaded that this view may be combined with the one I have been advocating, and only by so enlarging it can it be made consistent or intelligible. For how can nature ever find a voice, except in redeemed humanity? Man, as having a physical organism, is a part of nature; as having a soul, he emerges from nature, and can speak, as nature of herself never could. Only through man, is nature, otherwise blind and dumb and dead, able to appreciate and express the Creator's glory. The cherubim then are symbols of redeemed man, in his two-fold capacity of image of God and as priest of nature. Not in soul only, but in body also, does he speak forth God's praise, and only as redeemed humanity thus praises God does the material universe give glory to him who made it.
But, thirdly, the cherubim are emblems of human nature, not in its present stage of development, but possessed of all its original perfections. For this reason the most perfect animal forms are combined with that of man. The Jewish proverb ran: "There are four highest in the world — the lion among the beasts, the ox among cattle, the eagle among birds, man among all creatures,— but God is supreme over all." These cherubic forms combine the excellencies of these four chiefs of God's terrestrial creation. Before the fall, it may be, man possessed those excellencies in a far higher degree, and so was lord of the animal creation, himself being the climax of -creaturely perfection. But his sin deprived him of this high place. The animal world emancipated itself from his dominion, and now the ox, the lion, the eagle, all have powers which man has not in the same perfection. We see then that though the essential nature of man is highest of all, yet it might be greatly elevated and ennobled by superadding to it the qualities typified in these animal forms. To symbolize perfected human nature every creature perfection on earth must be comprehended and combined with his own. To superadd to his own perfections those of the animal kingdom is not to degrade but to exalt him — to picture him indeed in that original supremacy in which "all things are put under his feet, all sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field, the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas."
Add then to human nature all the lionlike qualities — kinglike majesty and peerless strength, undaunted courage and glowing zeal, innate magnanimity and nobleness of spirit, royal superiority to the petty and the mean, secure and trinmphant carelessness of every foe. Take your weak and timid Christian and endow him with these qualities, and lo! a Knox or a Luther. The liou is the king among beasts. Engraved on the throne of Solomon, it has been the emblem of royalty ever since. What does" it mean here among these cherubic forms, but an intimation of the kingly dignity and courage and strength that belong to the unfallen sons of God.—What now are the qualities of the ox? We at once count among them, patient labor, productive energy, meek submission to the yoke, unwearied and useful service. Hence the ox was placed higher than the horse, and in Egypt the home and mother-land of symbols, was even made an object of worship. Take now your vacillating, inconstant, labor-hating, self-willed, useless Christian,— add to him the ox-like qualities,—lo ! you have a Howard or a Harlan Page. And what is the meaning of this symbol here, if not that our human nature, as one of its proper perfections, must possess the spirit of humble yet restless service which they display who rest not night or day in their heavenly service of ministration and of worship ? — Then, too, the eagle, marvelous for vision and for flight,— able, according to the ancient notions, to see fish in the sea from the greatest heights, and to gaze undazzled on the sun. The epithet eagle-eyed is too graphic to need an explanation, even to the commonest mind. In the Revelation, the fourth face was that of a "flying eagle," bringing to our thoughts the ancient declaration that no bird can fly so far or so high. How vivid an image of an active, vigilant, fervent, soaring spirit, prompting the readiest and swiftest execution of the divine behests, and lifting the soul up from the low concerns of sense to the insight and contemplation of divine and spiritual glories. Take now your earthlyminded, short-sighted, narrow-hearted Christian, and add to him these qualities of spiritual flight and vision,—and lo! a St. John or a FtSnelon stands before you. What does the eagle symbolize, but the fact that to human nature, in its truest, noblest development, belong an insight into divine realities and a soaring of the spirit into the regions of divine communion, of which we get here only the rare and rapturous foretastes. Take man — even redeemed man in his present state — and give him the qualities typified by all these animal forms,— then add reason, conscience, will, affection, raised each to their highest powers attainable, — and how magnificent is the sum!
But, fourthly, these cherubic forms represent not merely material or earthly perfections, but are emblems of human nature spiritualized and sanctified. It is important to observe that the term "living creatures" is used more than thirty times in Ezekiel and Revelation to describe them. We cannot fail to see that life in its highest state of power and activity is indicated as their essential characteristic. And the descriptions of the prophetic visions bear out this inference. They are creatures instinct with life. The wheels in Ezekiel, and their whole bodies in Revelation, are full of eyes — the symbol of intelligent life. "The spirit of the living creature," we read, "was in the wheels,"—they communicated life to things else inanimate. We see in them a quick and restless activity,— they run and return with lightning speed,— their wings, ever outstretched, indicate incessant motion. They represent that humanity in which Christ's purpose is accomplished, that it might have life and have it more abundantly. Yet this life is not physical alone or chiefly — but spiritual. It is holy life as opposed to sin, the death of the soul. They made no crooked paths for their feet, but every one, as the prophet tells us, went straight forward. And they had no need to turn, in order to move in the path of rectitude, for there were wheels beneath each one which crossed one another transversely, so that, in whichever direction the cherub would move, in that direction the swiftly revolving wheels were ready to carry him. They move too on God's errands, obeying instantly the voice from above the throned firmament of snpphire blue. If they represent human nature, it must be a human nature perfectly subject to the divine will, and executing the divine commands. We cannot bring before our imagination the scene in the Apocalypse and the unceasing worship of the divine perfections, nor the scene in the prophet's vision, whore the reflection from them of the divine glory is intolerable to mortal eyes, without seeing in them the symbols of a human nature not only restored to its original purity, but possessed at length of a holiness and beauty far surpassing that which was lost by the fall.
Fifthly, these figures set forth, in type and shadow, a human nature exalted to be the dwelling place of God. For the cherubim dwell in the immediate presence of God. Not only was the tabernacle God's habitation and their habitation, and so the whole of the curtains forming the interior of the tent were interwoven with cherubic figures, but they dwelt close to the very throne of God, on the mercy-seat. There, between the cherubim, was the seat of the commonwealth of Israel. There God manifested his glory. There was the place of the "Shekinah." And there, in the very blaze of the divine glory, and with faces turned towards it as witnesses of the divine glory, were the cherubim. Aye, they not only dwell with God and are eye witnesses of his majesty, but God dwells in them. The living creatures in Ezekiel are pervaded, not with a self-fed and self-originated life, but it is God's life that flows through them and manifests itself in them. And the cherubim of the Revelation are not of any outer circle of worshipers, but appear in the midst of the throne. What is this, but the glorious prophecy of a humau nature perfectly restored and transcendently exalted,— made one again with God and made the dwelling place of God,— rescued forever from the curse and stain of sin, filled once more with the divine life, seated on the throne with Christ, clothed with a glory and beauty that reflect the glory and beauty of God, and so, endowed with privileges and elevated to dignities infinitely greater than those over whose loss the race of man has shed so many and so bitter tears!
Apply these conclusions now to the passage before us. What was the special meaning of the cherubim at the gates of Edeu, when man was driven out for his sin? I answer, they taught our first parents, and they teach us, that Paradise, though lost, is still reserved for man. The cherubim were stationed there to occupy, until man should be ready to return. Just that imagery was employed which would waken in him a just and true view of God. Terror and repulsion were not the emotions which God desired in this child just banished from his Father's house. The sword was needed there, to vindicate God's holiness and show the guilt of sin, but an image of mercy and hope was needed also. When Adain looked back towards the entrance of his lost Eden, the sword indeed awed him, but these living forms, made in his own mould, yet endowed with exalted beauties and capabilities, these indicated to him that Paradise was not blotted out of existence, nor given to beings of another order and sphere, but was still reserved for him in God's mercy. Earthly forms like his own still held it. The region of life was not lost to man forever. Human nature was yet destined to regain the lost Paradise.
Again, these figures taught Adam, and the early races of mankind, that Paradise could only be regained by man's return to holiness and divine communion. Hence the forms were not common forms of humanity, but ideal forms, exalted representations of human nature, fit to dwell in closest intimacy with God, pervaded by his life and reflecting his glory. The great lesson was taught, that holiness must come before blessedness, and that man shall regain his lost estate when he has nothing to fear from the divine justice. The promise of restoration shall be fulfilled, not by the surrender of the divine righteousness, but by providing for its exercise while the creature is notwithstanding saved. In other words, salvation is from God, yet salvation shall not obscure, but glorify and honor, the divine justice.
With this symbolic promise, too, of a rightly restored and sanctified human nature, was combined the promise that the Paradise Regained should be more glorious than the Paradise Lost. Not only should there bo life instead of death, fellowship instead of estrangement, love instead of hostility, purity in place of pollution, but all these blessings should be large and abundant beyond all human experience or comprehension. The recovery should not be partial, but complete and more than complete,— nay, the powers of sin should be so vanquished, and the plans of the adversary so outwitted, that God's grace should get greater glory and the human race greater blessedness, than could have been without the fall. So not man's efforts or deserts, but God's almighty and conquering grace, shall be magnified in the admission of the creature to a closer relation to God, and a participation in grander sights and ministrations than were ever known under the original constitution of things. How much of all this symbolism was understood by our first parents, we cannot know; but this we may believe, that in the light of the promise, and under the scrutiny of keener intuitions than ours, both they and the earliest members of a believing seed found in it a hope and comfort which mere words could never have given. Aye, I love to fancy, that under the inward teachings of God's spirit, the first Adam amid his sorrow and weariness had some glimpses, at least, of the land of rest which only the second Adam fully revealed to the world, and that in spirit, if not in words, he sang:
"There happier bowers than Eden's bloom,
Nor sin nor sorrow know;
Blest seats,— through rude and stormy seas,
I onward press to you!"
Yet doubtless much was left to be unfolded in the progress of God's revelation. As man comes nearer and nearer to occupying the high position typified by the cherubim, his knowledge of divine mysteries grows also. And this growing nearness to the divine, and consequent nearness to the Paradisaic state, seems to be symbolized in the varying relations of man to these cherubic forms. At the expulsion from Eden, the region of holy life was shut to men of flesh and blood, and none could approach the cherubim. But in the tabernacle, the human and earthly won a greater nearness to the divine, and in the person of the high priest, men could approach to the very feet of the cherubim of glory. In Ezekiel, the favorite of God is admitted to a still grander and more open view of God's glory. In the early visions of the Apocalypse, man has reached the very place of the cherubim,— the type and the antitype meet and mingle, — the elders who are the select ones of the church, and the cherubim which only symbolize the church, are together in the midst of the throne. But now, when man once fallen has been led by the Lamb to the very height and pinnacle of created being, the cherubim, having served their purpose as foreshadowings of that exalted state, disappear and vanish away. In the last visions of Revelation, amid the most glowing descriptions of the heavenly glories and the heavenly inhabitants, these symbolic forms are seen no longer. Since man has at length reentered the long lost Eden, and now eats of the tree of life which yields twelve manner of fruits and whose leaves are for the healing of the nations, the cherubim keep the way of the tree of life no longer, for Paradise is regained, and the promise is fulfilled.
These mysterious forms were indeed but symbols — symbols that were lower and less than the realities they symbolized. It would be childish to imagine, then, that they illustrate to us what our future bodies will be. We are not to have forms like those of the cherubim, but we are to have all the glorious qualities of heart and mind and soul which they typified, and these very figures may assure us that whatever may be lacking to us hero will be supplied there. How grand an object of contemplation is the glory that yet waits to be revealed! That heavenly knowledge, power, holiness,— that fullness of spiritual life of which the kingly energy of the lion, the unwearied service of the ox, the soaring flight of the eagle, are but poor symbols,— that nearness to God and that sight of his glory which John and Ezekiel faintly pictured, are not these the only fit objects of ambition? Do they not dwarf our highest conceptions of human destiny? Yea, it was for this imperial greatness that man was made, and if we forget it, we forget it to our sorrow. Earthly glories fade, but the glory of a human soul that has grown up in all things into Christ fades never. Who of us shall be kings and priests unto God? Who of us shall shine as the brightness of the sun forever and ever? Who shall cry, like the burning ones before the throne: "Holy! holy! holy!" Ah, it shall not be the great, the rich, the proud, the wise, of the earth, unless they can sing before the Lamb, "Thou hast redeemed us to God by thy blood." Those only shall reach the summit of heavenly glory and felicity, who have bowed here in humility and penitence at the foot of the Savior's cross. Who of us shall dwell forever with God,—and who of us shall dwell in everlasting burnings? Both dwelling-places are offered to us,— God offers one,— the devil offers the other. Choose ye this day!

Arlesey Town’s hopes of building on their recent thrashing of Petersfield were dashed in a 3-0 defeat to Ashford on Saturday.
The Blues looked distinctly rusty after a two week lay off and a decent Ashford side took advantage.
Max Webb gave the visitors the lead midway through the first half with a shot from the edge of the area, and an unmarked Jack Beadle doubled that advantage shortly after.
Mark Bitmead’s goal from a long ball ten minutes after the break effectively settled matters and sent the visitors into fourth place in the table.
One positive sight for the 108 spectators was another 30 minutes on the pitch for returning Arlesey striker Christian Tavernier.
It’s another tough fixture for the Blues on Saturday when they travel to league leaders Farnborough.
Meanwhile on Tuesday they make the short journey north to face Southern League rivals Biggleswade Town in the Red Insure Cup First Round.

Earlier this year, Specialized released a surprisingly affordable line of adventure road bikes under the Sequoia name. Our American colleagues have already given the top-level Sequoia Expert a good going over (and you can read about that here), but it’s this cheaper Specialized Sequoia Elite model that caught our attention here in the UK.
The Specialized Sequoia Elite retails for £1,500 / US$2,000, meaning it has to compete with well-equipped alloy bikes from the likes of GT and Norco. The thing is, the Sequoia is a bit of a wildcard as — if you hadn’t already noticed — it features a steel frame.
You’d be forgiven for not noticing too, as Specialized’s smart ways of working with metal haven’t skipped this frame. Look closer and you’ll notice a whole host of shapes and bends that aren’t typically found in mass produced chromoly. The rear end rotates on a 142x12mm rear axle and leaves ample room for the Sequoia’s 42mm tyres, enough room to make use of its fender mounts without changing rubber.
Should you want to switch out to smaller 650B wheels then this wouldn’t be a problem, and by doing so you’ll free up clearances for a tyre of up to 47mm too.
Geometry-wise, this is a model that “skews the line between a traditional road bike and a dedicated touring rig”. A long wheelbase (1053mm / 41.46in for a size 56) matches up to a low bottom bracket (292.5mm / 11.52in for size 56) while 71.5 / 73.5 degree head tube and seat angles have been chosen to keep the handling from being too lazy.
Beneath the frame’s tapered headtube is an own-brand carbon fork. It’s a disc fork with a 12x100mm thru-axle. As you’d expect there’s the appropriate hardware for racks and mudguards, but a nice touch that’s worth mentioning is the fork’s water bottle mounts which serve in addition to the three you can already find on the Sequoia frame.
Unlike the costly top-spec Sequoia, the Elite spec bike uses a double transmission. Up front there’s an FSA Gossamer Pro chainset with a 48/32T ring combination, this also turns on a regular, threaded bottom bracket. At the rear there’s a black 11-36t Sunrace cassette and a Shimano 105 rear derailleur. The front derailleur also comes from Shimano’s 105 line, and the same can be said for the ugly yet capable 505 level shifters.
Squeeze the levers and hydraulic fluid act on the ever-popular Shimano RS505 brakes — the calipers of which use Shimano’s neat flat-mount standard. The discs are mounted to Specialized's own-brand Hayfield wheels, which pair a broad box-section rim with custom hubs. The 42mm Sawtooth tyres are also in-house items, they’re tubeless ready and were quick to impress BikeRadar’s Josh Patterson when he tried them out on the range-topping bike.
Also worthy of a mention is Specialized’s handlebar — essentially a riser bar for the road with flared drops, it does away with the need for unsightly spacers beneath the stem. The standard bar tape has an unusual denim-like finish that’s shared with the Phenom Comp saddle. At 11.8kg / 26lbs for this 58cm example the Sequoia has definitely eaten some of the pies, but whether or not this will spoil the ride is yet to be confirmed.
Talking of which, we’re about to hand the Sequoia over to our colleagues at Cycling Plus, so stay tuned for a full review.

went for $90k with 50k miles....crazy numbers on these things!
Yeah, seems about right. There was one a year or so ago on BAT which was like $130K or something stupid, but it had way fewer miles and was basically a garage queen. These cars are so rare that it's not really indicative of the E36 M3 market, though that seems to be doing just fine as well.

yeh nice to see the LTW getting e30 M3 type dollars. I own both so im somewhat indifferent but e36 will always have a soft spot in my heart.
-Josh
1998 M3/4/5 with most of the easy stuff and most of the hard stuff. 232k and running like a top.
There's certainly been an upward trend in clean E36 M3's. I've seen more than one clean sub-100K mile example go for in the realm of $20K (or more) recently. The same thing is of course also happening with the E46 and E92 M3's which are more desirable cars, but clean E36's are far more rare than either of those (due to age/teenagers) which is why they're becoming valuable collector items.
My dad has a 2008 E92 M3 coupe 6 speed with only like 60K miles that I keep telling him he needs to just stash when he gets a new car because it's going to start going up in value several thousand dollars per year pretty soon. It's nice owning cars that rebound after hitting the bottom of their depreciation curve.

What do you think a 98 coupe with 70k miles is worth? One owner, fully documented in titanium silver? Light Dinan mods. No SC

I don't think I could ever justify paying $20K+ for a super clean e36 m3. Regardless of the miles, there are better cars you can get for the money imo. Don't get me wrong, I've purposefully kept mine for 10 years now and it has 190k miles on it. I plan on keeping her for a while knowing the value is only going to decrease with the amount of miles I have. Not to mention my leather seems to have given up on life after this many miles.

The answer is crazy low mileage and pristine interiors.

Like with the E30s, the market is trending towards the double distribution for E36 M3s. It probably won't come as quickly as it has for the E46 M3 or air-cooled 911s, but it will hit at some point in the near future. I have a unsettling feeling that the E9Xs won't deprecate too much more and only God knows what will happen with the F8X.

A BIRMINGHAM girl who drowned in the swimming pool at a Welsh caravan park had just moved from Korea and was experiencing one of her first British seaside holidays, it has emerged.
Seven-year-old Seojin Kim, of Weymoor Road, Harborne, would have turned eight next month.
Her grieving mother, appearing drained and solemn, returned to the family home yesterday afternoon where tiny shoes belonging to Seojin and her siblings still littered the front porch.
The community has been left in shock at the sudden death.
“I would see Seojin playing with her two younger siblings, it is such a shock and a terrible tragedy,” said a neighbour, who asked not to be named. “The family have not lived in this country very long and had only moved here a couple of months ago from Korea, so no-one knows them very well.
“Their garden still has all the children’s toys lying in it from before they went on holiday. Seojin’s mother is completely devastated and wants to be left alone.”
The tragedy unfolded at Talacre Beach Caravan and Leisure Park on Saturday afternoon during what is understood to be one of the first family caravan holidays in the UK.
Seojin was playing in the pool with other children with her parents just steps away when she got into difficulties in the water. Paramedics responded to a report the girl had been found at the bottom of the swimming pool and despite efforts to save her, she was pronounced dead at Glan Clwyd Hospital. North Wales Central deputy coroner John Gittins gave the cause of death as drowning and adjourned an inquest yesterday.
An investigation into her death, which police said was not suspicious, will be carried out by Flintshire County Council.
James McAllister, deputy managing director of the caravan park, said: “At this very difficult time we are doing everything we can to assist the authorities with their enquiries into this tragic accident.”

2018:
Even though we see some pretty good deals from Restoration Hardware on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, it seems like the week after Christmas is when you can really find some great bargains on clearance as they make room for new inventory.
Although the details for this year are not yet announced, last year you could save 30% to 70% in the sale and clearance section. Obviously the deepest discounts were on leftover holiday decor and outdoor furniture, but you could also pick up a deal on select lamps, sofas, and tables as well. And if you lived near an outlet store, select leather and fabric furniture was up to 80% off after the additional store-wide discount (you just have to haul away the items yourself). We’re executing to see a similar sale once again this year— As we always do here on Blacker Friday, we will be updating this page with all the important details as soon as they become available. Check back soon for the latest news.
What are you looking to buy at Restoration Hardware’s winter sale this year? Will you be shopping online or heading out to one of their retail or factory outlet stores? Let us know in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
2017:
Updated on Monday, December 25, 2017: Merry Christmas! Hope Santa’s been good to you this year. If not, or if you still have something on your Christmas wish list, then get ready for all for the upcoming after-Christmas sales, some of which are already live today. And that includes Restoration Hardware!
Shop your favorite RH starting tomorrow to save up to 70% off at their end-of-year sale. There’s deals across all categories — From seating to lighting, and everything in-between. And as always, if you’re an RH Member then you’ll get an extra 20% off on top of any full-priced or sale-priced item you get. We’re not sure when the offers end but you can expect some of their popular last chance deals to sell out quickly.
See a store associate or your nearest retail store for official terms and conditions. Offer not valid at Restoration Hardware Outlet locations. Happy bargain hunting!
2016:
Christmas is now officially behind us which means the end of season sales and all the madness that comes with it begins. And if you still have some room left in your budget, this is one of the best times of the year to update your home’s decor at Restoration Hardware.
This year you have a few options on where to shop: Online, in-store, and at one of their outlets. I personally prefer the outlets because they often run a store-wide discount that’s tacked on top of the lowest listed sale price. I few year’s back is when we bought our sofas and chairs at will over 60% off the original price.
If you don’t have a RH outlet near you, then your only option is online or in-store (both will have the same deals). This year you’ll get 35% to 75% off everything as long as you are joined to the RH members program (it costs $100 annually but it’s worth it if you plan some big purchases this year). The best deals appear to be in their holiday decor and patio furniture sections, but you can also pick up a great deal in lighting, office, bath, and rug collections.

One of the most life altering changes for me this year has been viewing my time as currency. I guess I have always known this, but our current book club book really opened my eyes. Now whenever I want to sit down and just veg, I think “what will this cost me?”
It’s motivated me to be more productive. It’s motivated me to prioritize better. And it’s motivated me to really focus on how I’m spending my time.
If you are stuck in a rut whether it be financial, emotional or physical, I thought I would share with you some steps that have helped me take back control of my time.
Steps to Controlling Your Time
- Recognize the negative patterns and fears in your life. This has been HUGE for me. Most of mine are emotional and of course, financial.
- Bring those patterns and fears to the light, share them. It truly does help take away their power.
- Journal. There is something about hand writing things that makes it stick better with me. It also calms my racing mine and gives me an outlet when I’m overwhelmed (as a single mom this is often.) I have multiple journals that I do each day:
- Gratitude – life has been really hard and most days I wake up super stressed. But starting the day by writing 3 things I am grateful for has really changed my attitude and helped me start the day with a smile rather than a headache.
- Best Self – this journal has changed my life. It is essentially a 13 week challenge to tackle 3 goals at a time. It is succinct and clear and I love it! I highly recommend. (Full disclosure: This is an affiliate link.)
- Prayer – this is my latest addition. Last year, I focused on Bible memory. This year I am focusing on my prayer list. I have a master list that I pray through and then add to it as things come to mind. It also includes verses I hear that speak to my soul.
- Create your to do list AND keep it updated. I have two tools I use daily to keep me on track:
- Google Calendar – I’ve probably mentioned this before. Each of the kids has a calendar, and I have several (personal, business and some specific clients.) They are all linked so we can stay in sync and the kids can easily see where I am, and more importantly these days if I am available to get them somewhere as a specific time. We’ve used this for years and it’s worked fabulous.
- Asana – to do list, to do list, to do list. We’ve used this for school. I used it with customers to be able to assign me work. And I use it personally to manage my time and personal tasks. The awesome thing is that it will link to Google Calendar so all my daily to dos show up on my daily calendar. And I can assign tasks to different people. And I can set due dates, attach files and upload comments and notes on the tasks.
- Find a mentor. This is very new to me. But I’ve connected with some women here who have really taken an interest in me. That human connection has been huge for me. It’s not a huge time investment but it is nice to know I can pick up the phone and call.
It’s Hard Work
Now being open and honest about my fears and challenges (step #1) was the hardest step for me. So many of the times I quit because of them or procrastinate and sabotage myself.
But the combination of these steps has really pushed me to use my time more wisely. To really think through how I spend my time. And even more so, to focus on “what doing this with my time will cost me or better yet reward me?”
I’m now off to tackle my to do list for the weekend, and I’m excited to say that much of my time this weekend will be money earning! One last thought for you this weekend:
Success is directly proportional to your ability to do uncomfortable things.

Posted in Social Media Marketing, and Social Media. 4 min read
Are you having trouble getting quality leads for your business? Are you looking for new ways to expand your reach and engage with prospects?
You're in luck! Social media channels, such as LinkedIn, offer a simple and cost-effective way to communicate with your audience and generate new leads. In just a few simple steps, you can be on your way to building a pipeline full of quality leads.
Here are some tips for generating more leads on LinkedIn:
Optimize Your Company Page
If you are going to be using LinkedIn for lead generation, the first things you'll want to do is optimize your company page for conversions. Here are a few simple things you can do:
- Hyperlink your banner image so it leads to your company website
- Optimize your company description. Make sure users can tell who you are and what you do just by reading the first two sentences.
- Share educational material and industry resources that can help your prospects and build your credibility.
For people who aren't familiar with you, your LinkedIn page will be their first introduction to your brand, so be sure to make a good impression.
Be Consistent with Your Updates
One of the main reasons social media is such a valuable marketing tool is because it provides companies with an easy, cost-effective way to reach their audience and stay top-of-mind. However, you have to be consistent and learn through trial and error when the best times to post your updates are.
Once you've worked out the kinks in your publishing schedule, be sure to post updates once or twice a day so your business name is constantly popping up in people's newsfeeds. DON'T SPAM. Share things that are useful like relevant news articles, industry tips and even content from thought leaders in your industry to show your audience that you are engaged and knowledgable about recent developments.
Publish Your Own Posts
You should already have a blog set up for your company, whether it be part of your website or an external one. If not, you should create one NOW. This post will explain the benefits.
Whenever you publish a new blog post - which you should be doing at least once a week - share it on LinkedIn. Not only does this create engagement with your social media profile, it drives traffic to your website and increases your chances of being recognized as a thought leader in your industry.
You might also want to consider publishing some articles to LinkedIn Pulse to expand your reach and gain new connections.
Be a Part of the Conversation
The comments section can be a scary place, but don't be afraid to jump in there and join the conversation under the right circumstances. Engaging with your audience like this will go a long way in making them see you as an active participant in your industry.
You can also join some relevant LinkedIn groups and participate in the conversations that are happening there. This is an excellent way to accomplish a few things:
- Gain new followers
- Increase brand exposure
- Elevate your reputation
Just don't overdo it and try not to feed the trolls!
Utilize Linkedin InMail
InMail is one of the most effective lead generation tools offered by LinkedIn. It allows you to reach out and send messages to people who are not part of your direct connections. Not only does this give you a way to bypass secretaries and assistants, LinkedIn claims that professionals are three times more likely to respond to a LinkedIn InMail than a traditonal email. Just make sure to do some research and find some common ground with your prospect so you don't catch them completely off guard.
Use Advanced Search
Advanced search is another great tool that LinkedIn offers and can be used in conjunction with InMail. It allows you to search for prospects based on criteria such as name, company, alma maters and more to create more focused search results.
You can use the advanced search tool to create a list of contacts and reach out to them via InMail at a later date.
Use Sponsored Updates to Expand Your Reach
According to a 2013 case study by LinkedIn, decision makers were 79% more likely to do business with a company based on Sponsored Updates.
There is a downside, though. Sponsored Updates cost you money every time someone clicks on the add. However, this is often negated by the fact that Sponsored Updates helps to expand your reach and produce new leads because your ads are visible to users who are not direct connections of your company's page.
Building an Effective Lead-Generating Machine
For us marketers, social media tools like LinkedIn are a valuable resource that can't be ignored. In just a few simple steps, you can be on your way to filling your pipeline with quality leads for your business. Just remember to be consistent, informative and engage with your audience for maximum effect!

There seems to be a bit of a disconnect with some of the elements that modern gamers associate with the great and classic titles of a few years back. There’s this inherent lauding about the games that had very simple controls, flat characters and unforgivable difficulty, and this steps from a belief that it’s how the developers wanted their games to be. Now, I’m not saying that isn’t true, but I’m saying that games like Pitfall and Wizardy weren’t great because they were simple, it’s because they were great games. When future installments of both series came out, they were pretty well received (though I believe The Mayan Adventures should have gotten more attention). Basically, it’s not enough to just make a game in the style that you would have seen in the 80s, but to also capture what made games great about that time. Loot Monkey: Bling Palace seems to almost have captured the elements needed to make this idea a reality, but there’s still just a little something off.
Loot Monkey: Bling Palace is an updated version of Loot Monkey, a PC title I hadn’t heard of in the slightest before installing this game. You play Dougie the Monkey, who is the knockaround pet of someone simply known as The Evil Overlord. I guess the Overlord had some rager party, and now his pad is covered with both loose treasure and piles of vomit. Not wanting to deal with the vomit or the massive number of aggressive mobs and traps that were just left lying around, Evil Overlord sends Dougie out to grab as much loot as he can, ideally getting all of it. Dougie isn’t the fastest monkey, or the smartest monkey, but he is…the most available monkey, and he will have to traverse and explore a ton of rooms to get all that precious loot. What’s a monkey to do? Avoid nearly everything, grab the loot and get to walking.
Loot Monkey presents in what’s called a flip-screen 2D platformer, which means there’s no easy, clear or straightforward way to get anywhere. Dougie has some limited mobility: he can jump his height and about three squares forward or backwards. That’s it for our monkey hero: no weapons or powerups are on the horizon, just doing what you’ve been instructed to do. Each room is peppered with smaller platforms that may lead to loot, doors or certain doom. The doors that connect each room are two-way: most of the time, you’ll have to go into a rabbit hole of doors to eventually land in the one room that has a nice stockpile of loot, collect it all, and then backtrack a bit. This door thing can be a bit annoying because you may, instinctively, shuffle around a bit to try to get your bearings, and the result is Dougie walking through the door, changing rooms multiple times before you finally resist the urge to nudge yourself one way or another. Also, don’t feel like you need to go hunting for loot: the stuff is in nearly every room, just there’s some more in one than another.
Loot Monkey: Bling Palace is really, really trying to capture the spirit of games of the early 80s, specifically name dropping Manic Miner in their game description, and they…mostly do it. With a limited jumping range and a perchance to die if he touches something pointy, Dougie has little choice but to really, really consider his moves before he makes them. You don’t always have the luxury of thinking time, however: there are more than a few places where your spawn point can and will become a burial plot if you’re not on top of things. Between lasers, spikes, and weird piles of pixels that are supposed to be enemies, Dougie has no lack of murder atmosphere. It’s sometimes a bit weird: Dougie himself is a bit more flushed out than everything else in the castle, which almost makes it seem like he’s tripping off monkey peyote or something. Seriously, when you’re the most clearly defined thing in a room, and everything else is an odd mixture of luminescent treasure and angular, angry colors, I’d wonder what was in that last banana. Anyways, there aren’t save points or anything to that effect, just a lot of nose-to-the-grindstone work to make sure that you get things down. And, to be fair, once you get the basic controls under your belt, you have no one to blame but yourself for successes or failures.
In terms of gameplay, I’d say Loot Monkey: Bling Palace did a good job. It definitely feels like something I might have found on older systems, and the musical soundtrack captures some cool, “Wish we had this when I was a kid” moments with solid synth background throughout. However, there are some optional elements that I HIGHLY recommend turning off before even getting into the game to keep you both in the moment and from growing to hate the game. Firstly, the Overlord’s voiceover. While you’re playing, you will, occasionally, get a jarring growl from the Evil Overlord Himself(?) to do a better job, that you’re doing a good job, or to just yell “MONKEY!” at you. This grating voice, while ideal for the overlord, doesn’t do enough in terms of exposition or narrative to add anything except for the fact that I don’t want to help this dude. Seriously, I already know I’m a worthless henchmonkey, but does the game need to remind me of that quite so strongly? But the Evil Overlord’s dulcet tones are nothing compared to the obnoxious, flashing, screaming death screen that pops up should you touch something you shouldn’t. There’s an option to change the game’s elements a bit, but I think that’s underselling what you’re actually doing: removing a goddamn heart attack in a box. In all honesty, please be aware and careful before playing the game: I don’t know if this level of sudden flashing could induce an epileptic seizure, and I don’t want to shop it around to my friends to find out.
There is clearly something going on here, and it’s apparent that Tackorama is very proud of the product they’ve created. With multiple difficulty levels that remove extra lives and even remove being able to find extra lives, plus the incentive to try to “speed run” the game, it’s this bizarre moment where I almost feel like the game is asking me “Don’t you know who I am?” But that’s the problem, Loot Monkey: Bling Palace: I don’t. With some pretty stocky animation for Dougie running around, bland and forgettable music, some traps that look like loot and a truly godawful death screen (to say nothing of the weird boot animation when you run out of lives), this is one of those games that I might only remember in the negative ways. I’m pretty sure this is one treasure that will remain undiscovered..

Hard Money Loan in Indianapolis, Indiana
The Find:
On November 4th, BridgeWell Capital received a loan proposal from a BridgeWell Capital repeat investor looking for a hard money loan for an investment property in Indianapolis, Indiana. The property, a 116-year-old Victorian located in the historical Herron-Morton neighborhood, is located within walking distance of restaurants, parks, musical theater, and is a quick 5-minute drive from downtown and Interstate 65. The purchase price for the home was $143,000.
The Fix:
While the property was in an excellent location at an excellent price, the same could not be said for its condition, and the inspection proved it; considerable foundation wear, sagging floor system, dilapidated exterior wall siding, antiquated HVAC and electrical, the works. The repair credit line (RCL) the client needed to rehab the house came in at almost twice the purchase price of the house at $226,000. The professionals at BridgeWell were able to finance over $325,000 for the purchase and renovation of the property.
The Flip:
With funding from BridgeWell Capital secured, the clients were able to begin renovations on a deal that took, from bid to close, under a month. With the renovations completed, the property was appraised having an after repair value (ARV) of $510,000, earning BridgeWell’s clients a 20% return on their investment. As well, due to the high-quality rehab work, and the client’s efforts to preserve the property’s original architecture, the property was recognized by the city’s historical society.

He’s got a show that’s out of this world.
A hapless Parisian janitor will bring his surreal comic adventures to Greenpoint next month, in a live staging of the bizarre podcast “The Orbiting Human Circus.” The show, playing at the Brooklyn Bazaar on June 4, will whisk the audience into an ethereal realm that leaves mundane troubles behind, said its creator.
“It’s always been very special to me to create these worlds for people to get completely lost in,” said Julian Koster, who writes, stars in, and plays music for the show. “I think this is sort of like a secret hideaway for me and gives people another place to escape and have an adventure.”
The podcast uses a sound collage of narration, dialogue, songs, and ambient noise to tell the story of Julian, the quirky custodian of the Eiffel Tower. Julian, infatuated with a popular radio show that broadcasts from the top of the French landmark, stumbles into an escalating series of backstage shenanigans, all narrated by an imaginary, argumentative carnival barker.
The show exists outside of time, in a world that simultaneously suggests the 1930s and the present. To evoke that feeling, Koster’s band the Music Tapes records otherworldly music using vintage and modern techniques, including 1930s-era wire recording, a tape machine from the ’60s, and computer programs for a sound all its own.
“It kind of feels like it’s coming out of the past and the future at the same time,” said Koster.
The result is a music-theater-radio mash-up that is perfect for a podcast audience, which has an appetite for the unexpected, said Koster.
“There’s such opportunity to create something brand new with podcasts,” he said. “And the audience is so adventurous right now and it’s so direct — there’s nothing between them and the art.”
The Greenpoint performance will adapt the show to feature the janitor sweeping the after-hours Brooklyn Bazaar. Viewers will be thrown into the character’s imaginary world, in an evening that translates the podcast and its previously audio-only elements into physical form.
“I’m all about creating the architecture of a special night,” said Koster. “With the live shows we wanted to create a moment in time — and you don’t have to listen to the podcast to go — I want people to have a really special and unusual time.”
“The Orbiting Human Circus” at Brooklyn Bazaar (150 Greenpoint Ave. between Manhattan Avenue and Franklin Street in Greenpoint,

Now that I have teenagers, I look back and realize that things may not have been as difficult with my babies as I face now, but at the time, I worried myself to death about everything from how long my children would sleep each night to if I were giving them the best nutrition possible.
A child’s relationship with food begins earlier than you might think, and I did not want to create any stress or bad habits that might haunt them later on. I just wanted them to grow strong, be healthy, and learn to enjoy the pleasures of good food.
My first child was born 15 years ago, and honestly, there just wasn’t a lot on the market I felt really good about feeding him. And although I did make a lot of his baby food from scratch, hours in the kitchen were not a practical, long-term solution for my schedule – which of course only seemed to add stress and guilt to my list of new mom angst.
Thankfully, parents today have many great choices for giving their children the best possible start in life when it comes to creating a healthy food relationship. Some of these new choices have sprung to life because of to the popularity of cooking shows and celebrity chefs. We are paying more attention to how we cook and eat, and although some of it may not be only entertainment, chefs such as Tyler Florence are making a real difference.
“As a father, I’m always thinking about how I can get my children to eat healthy, even when time is an issue,” Florence states on the Sprouts website. “As a chef, I want to treat them to foods that are delicious, and create a good relationship with a variety of foods.”
Being the chef he is, he rose to the creative challenge and started the company, “Sprouts.” Sprouts is a 100 percent organic line of nutritious, delicious food options for young eaters, and Brookshire’s is proud to be carrying it now as part of our initiative to help our customers make healthier lifestyle choices.
We all know that obesity is on the rise in our country, and thanks to companies such as Sprouts, we can take the steps needed early in our children’s lives to instill good habits and delight in healthy eating.

I adore buffalo chicken. I mean, LOVE the stuff. I even have a board on Pinterest called “Ode to Buffalo Chicken and Blue Cheese.” I like it that much. So when I was browsing through my local Brookshire’s lately and saw a new product on the shelves, I stopped short.
Knorr has a new Rice Sides flavor called (you guessed it) Buffalo Chicken. Oh. Happy. Day.
I grabbed it off the shelf and immediately began fantasizing about what I could do with it as soon as I got it home. It didn’t take me long to figure out I was going to make enchiladas with the rice, which cooks in just seven minutes. I suppose rice isn’t a traditional ingredient in enchiladas, but I like the texture and it helps stretch the recipe to make it more budget-friendly. I like my buffalo chicken spicy, but you can adjust the amount of hot sauce you use according to your taste. Sometimes I actually prepare two batches of filling – one that is spicy enough for me, another that won’t cause complaints from my two boys. I just mark my enchiladas in the pan with tooth picks.
Buffalo Chicken Enchiladas
Serves 8
Ingredients:
Enchiladas:
1 package (8) Mission 96% Fat-Free Medium Flour Tortillas
1 1/2 lbs Brookshire’s Chicken Breast Tenderloins, trimmed
2 stalks celery, washed and diced
1/2 small white onion, diced
1 5.3 oz package Knorr Rice Sides, Buffalo Chicken flavor
8 oz Food Club cream cheese
1/2 cup Food Club Chicken Wing Sauce
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
Sauce:
1 1/2 Tbs Food Club unsalted butter
3 Tbs Food Club all-purpose flour
1‑1/2 cups fat-free (skim) milk
4 tsp Food Club dry ranch-style salad dressing mix
1/4 to 1/2 tsp white pepper
2 cups (8 oz) Food Club 2% mild cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
Cook rice according to package directions. Set aside to cook.
In a medium sauce-pan pan coated with non-stick cooking spray, cook the onion, celery and chicken tenderloins until the chicken is cooked through. When the chicken is cooked, drain fat and add cream cheese to the pan. Return to low heat until cream cheese is soft and melted. Stir in the wing sauce, blue cheese crumbles and rice. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Fill all 8 flour tortillas with chicken mixture, roll and place seam-side down in a 9x 13 baking dish, also sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in flour; cook 1 to 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Using wire whisk, stir in milk; bring to a boil. Cook, whisking constantly, 1 to 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in dressing mix and pepper.
Pour over enchiladas in pan. Sprinkle with shredded cheese. Bake at 375 for about 20 minutes, or until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly.

Thanks so much everyone for taking the time to reply. I'll have to show dh all the info and hopefully he is convinced. Plus I've already filled in the form to book a demo so I'm pretty much getting one ha ha. But I would prefer him to be onboard since it's such a huge purchase. Normally I would care but at over 2k I think we should both be happy with it. Does it take a while once it's ordered? Cos I use my food processor at least a few times a week so it will be a pain to live without one.

Had mine for over 3 years and never had any issues. I agree with all the posts above.
My DH loves it too. He was far easier to convince than I anticipated. I showed him a couple you tubes and he was sold, just focus on 'German engineered' and how you can chop a kilo of onions in 5 seconds
I love my thermomix! Don't let the stories put you off, from what I have read the burns from the new machine are user error, i.e: not using the measuring cup on the lid but something with no air holes that creates pressure.
There was a problem with old machine and the lid, that's what RedCreamingSoda mentioned but that can't happen with the tm5.

I've had the new model for two years since just after they came out and honestly would be lost without it. So great for making food for my DS. Plus it's turned me into a half decent cook!
I have had no problems at all with mine.

Computers and electronics
The internet is full of deals on computers and electronics, as many tech brands and stores offer new discounts almost every day. But with so many sales and so much information out there, it can be tough to know when and where to shop for the latest laptops, tablets and cameras. Here on Buckscoop, we bring together all the best electronics promo codes, so you can always know you're getting a great deal.
Tips for finding deals on electronics
If you're looking for laptop sales, cheap computers or deals on cameras, you're in the right place! Here are our tips to help you find the best electronics sales in Australia.
Know what you want: This might seem like a no-brainer, but do your research! There are tons of computer stores out there selling different brands, models and editions. A new laptop or a TV can be a huge investment, so it's best to know what storage capacity, screen size, resolution, etc. you want to help you narrow down all your choices before you buy.
Buy refurbished: Sometimes fixed-up electronics can be just as good as – and much cheaper than – brand-new devices. Most big tech retailers like Dell and Microsoft offer refurbished sections on their websites. These are perfect places to find hard drives, cheap computer parts and other electronics.
Shop around: You can find electronics at retailers you might not expect, like bookstores department stores and toy stores. Check the big electronics brand websites, like Microsoft, Apple and Samsung, but don't forget major e-commerce sites like amazon.com, NewFrog and eBay. Chances are, you can score deals on tablets, wearable tech and more from places you'd never think of.
To make sure you never miss out on a major computer sale, subscribe to the Buckscoop mailing list and check this page often!

1. Position on government draft legislation
The Federal Government introduces the great majority of bills in Germany. The Bundesrat has the "first say" in the parliamentary processing of executive bills, as the Basis Law states that the Federal Government is required to submit its drafts directly to the Bundesrat for comment.
The Bundesrat is entitled to present its opinion within a six-week deadline and in specific cases it has three or nine weeks to comment. The Bundesrat makes use of this right in almost all cases. The review and discussion of legislative proposals submitted by the Government are two of the Bundesrat's primary functions. The experience of the federal states in the implementation of laws, almost all of which are implemented by them, is incorporated into federal legislation in this "first reading". In this context, the executive officials of the state governments conduct an intensive dialogue with the executive officials of the Federation. The Bundesrat's checks-and-balance function in the federal system of government is clearly manifested here.
In its committees the Bundesrat assesses bills from every possible standpoint, i.e. in terms of constitutionality, technical expertise, finances and political factors. Quite often, amendments, additions or alternatives are proposed. In many cases the result of the review is "no objection". It rarely happens that a bill that has been totally rejected by the Bundesrat is still submitted to the Bundestag by the Federal Government.
At this stage the Bundesrat's assessment of a bill is not binding on the Federal Government or the Bundestag. However, this initial assessment is an important indication as to what the second assessment and the Bundesrat's final word will be in the "second reading". These assessments cannot be ignored. The Federal Government formulates its view in a "counter-statement". The bill, the Bundesrat's initial statement and the Government's counter-statement are then submitted to the Bundestag.
2. Convening the Mediation Committee
All bills adopted by the Bundestag must be forwarded to the Bundesrat by the President of the Bundestag.
In the second "reading" initiated by the forwarding of the bill, Bundesrat committee meetings are held to determine whether or not the results of the first "review" have been taken into account and whether or not the Bundestag has introduced other amendments. If the Bundesrat decision is based on a Bundesrat draft bill, there is only this "second reading", although the term is then of course a misnomer. If the Bundesrat is not in agreement with the version of a bill passed by the Bundestag, it can approach the Mediation Committee within a period of three weeks. In its submission to the Committee, which must be adopted in the plenary with an absolute majority, the Bundesrat normally includes specific proposals for amendment, along with comprehensive justification.
3. Decisions on consent bills
Consent bills, which have a special bearing on Länder interests, cannot become law unless the Bundesrat gives its express approval.
If the Bundesrat votes definitively against a consent bill it cannot become law. The Bundestag cannot override the Bundesrat's rejection. The Bundestag and the Federal Government may merely apply to the Mediation Committee in an attempt to reach a compromise. This means that for consent bills the Bundestag and the Bundesrat must be in agreement before legislation can be enacted. Specific clauses in the Basic Law stipulate which bills require Bundesrat consent. These can be divided into three categories:
- Bills that amend the constitution. They require Bundesrat approval based on a two-thirds majority.
- Bills affecting the Länder's budgetary revenue. These primarily include bills relating to taxes in which Länder or local authorities are involved, e.g. income tax, value-added tax and motor-vehicle tax.
- Bills that affect the administrative jurisdiction of the Länder.
The last group is particularly important in quantitative terms, because, even if a bill contains only one provision that affects the administrative jurisdiction of the Länder, the entire bill has to be approved by the Bundesrat. This holds, for example, when federal law prescribes certain jurisdictional arrangements, forms, time limits, administrative fees, types of document delivery or new authorities and public agencies for Länder authorities. Due to these individual clauses, even bills that do not affect "Länder interests" in general, such as international agreements or defence issues, may have to be approved in their entirety.
The constitutional rank and importance of the Bundesrat mainly stem from its ability to veto this type of legislation. This right gives the Bundesrat a great deal of influence on the legislative process, as in practice about one half of federal legislation consists of "consent bills" requiring Bundesrat approval. Thus, for fifty per cent of bills, the Bundestag cannot legislate on its own, but must consider the Bundesrat's position in its decisions. Conversely the Bundesrat cannot act on its own in this sphere either - particularly as voting "No" simply prevents new developments but does not allow the Bundesrat to play an active part in shaping policy in a particular area.
4. Involvement in objection bills
The Bundesrat is also involved in the legislative process for bills where its consent is not required. These are known as objection bills.
Here the Bundesrat's role is limited to forcefully admonishing the Bundestag. If the Bundesrat files an objection within two weeks of the conclusion of mediation proceedings, the Bundestag must subject the bill to another reading. If the Bundestag does not share the Bundesrat's reservations, it can override the objection (adopted with an absolute majority in the Bundesrat) with an absolute majority of its own (known as the chancellor's majority). If the Bundesrat's objection was based on a two-thirds majority, a corresponding two-thirds majority of votes cast in the Bundestag is required to override it (this majority must also represent a majority of the Bundestag's members). If the objection is overridden, the bill in question may be signed and promulgated despite the Bundesrat's disapproval. However if the Bundestag cannot muster the majority needed to reject the objection: the bill cannot be adopted, as is also the case if the Bundesrat refuses to approve a consent bill.
5. Bundesrat draft legislation
The Bundesrat has the right to introduce bills into the Bundestag.
The bills are sent to the Federal Government for comment. The Federal Government is required to forward the bill within six weeks - in special cases, within three or nine weeks - to the Bundestag.
The Bundestag handles these bills according to the same procedure as draft bills from the Federal Government or draft legislation drawn up in the Bundestag itself. The Bundestag is free to decide as it sees fits and can therefore also refuse to adopt the draft. If the Bundestag rejects the bills, it is not possible to convene the Mediation Committee in an attempt to reach a settlement. The Bundesrat adopts relatively few legislative initiatives, partly perhaps because the overall procedure does not work in the Bundesrat's favour. However the Bundesrat has been successful in introducing initiatives to improve legal, customer and consumer protection. For example, the Bundesrat initiated legislation on: the purchaser's right of revocation for hire-purchase transactions, the ban on choice of forum agreements, the mandatory form requirement for purchase of real estate to protect the buyer and more stringent state monitoring of old people's homes to protect residents there. The Bundesrat also initiated measures to combat abuse of asylum law and to combat organised crime, and has made proposals on provision to cover the financial risks associated with the need for long-term nursing care.
The number of draft bills initiated by the Bundesrat has increased over the last few years. The parliamentary tool of resolutions is used increasingly frequently as a political complement to the right of initiative. These requests are generally addressed to the Federal Government to draw its attention to problems that have not yet been adequately resolved.
6. Statutory instruments
The German Highway Code, which affects almost everyone in the country, was adopted not by the Bundestag but by the Federal Minister of Transport with the Bundesrat's consent. It is an example of federal "administration", with Bundesrat participation.
Statutory instruments are generally binding provisions to implement bills. Bundesrat consent is prescribed for most statutory instruments issued by the Federal Government and individual Federal ministers. The Bundesrat is kept very busy examining this legislation, with the Bundestag being involved only in very exceptional cases. Most of the work is done in the committees. In the public plenary sessions these provisions, which are generally of limited political significance, take up less time. The Bundesrat's right of consent means that it can determine the content of statutory instruments on an equal footing with the other bodies involved. In practice consent is often granted "subject to the proviso" that certain points must be amended. It is not possible to convene the Mediation Committee to address conflicts concerning statutory instruments.
7. Consent to general administrative provisions
Just like statutory instruments, numerous general administrative proposals depend on Bundesrat consent if these provisions, addressed to the administrative authorities, affect the competences of the federal states.
For example, Bundesrat consent was required for the "Fines Schedule" for traffic offences and the "Points Schedule" for suspension of driving licences.
8. Deliberations on European Union legislation
As the process of integration in the European Union continues, national legislation is increasingly being influenced by regulations approved in Brussels. The relevant decision-making body is the Council of Ministers, in which each EU Member State is represented by a government member.
Pursuant to Article 23, Subsection 2 of the Basic Law, the Bundestag and the Länder (through the Bundesrat) participate in affairs of the European Union. For this reason, the Federal Government is charged with providing the Bundestag and the Bundesrat with comprehensive information on all European Union activities at the earliest possible date.
The Bundesrat, represented in urgent cases by the Chamber of European Affairs, gives its opinion on the drafts of European Union regulations and directives submitted to it. This assessment entails comprehensive deliberations in its committees. If this European legislation affects matters which fall within the internal jurisdiction of the Federation, the Federal Government must give "due consideration" to the Bundesrat's opinion in its decisions in Brussels. If such legislation primarily affects state (Länder) legislative jurisdiction, the structure of Länder authorities or their administrative procedures, then the Bundesrat's assessment must be taken into account as "the decisive opinion". In other words, in such cases the Bundesrat basically has the last word in determining the German position within the EU Council of Ministers. In this context, the Bundesrat is charged with "complying with the Federation's responsibility as a nation". This refers to jurisdiction in the policy areas of integration, foreign affairs and security. If the Bundesrat's opinion conflicts with that of the Federal Government, and if no agreement can be reached, then the Bundesrat's opinion is decisive, provided it is based on a decision taken with a two-thirds majority. The Bundesrat has a limited right to take the final decision on issues that could lead to increased expenditure or decreased revenue for the Federation. In such cases the Federal Government's consent to the German position as defined by the Bundesrat is required. If EU legislation mainly affects exclusive state legislative jurisdiction, a Land minister nominated by the Bundesrat should even be head of the German delegation and cast its votes in the Council of Ministers in Brussels. The Bundesrat is thus not only involved in shaping policy within Germany but also takes direct decisions with a view to protecting the Federal Republic of Germany's rights as a European Union member state.
9. Participation in foreign affairs
Pursuant to Article 32, Sub-section 1 of the Basic Law, the Federation is responsible for maintaining international relations with other countries. This provision does not assign this responsibility to any particular constitutional body; thus it excludes neither the Bundesrat nor the Bundestag as relevant federal organs.
Nevertheless, the Basic Law views foreign policy as a key area of the Federal Government's activities, in which it is empowered to take far-reaching decisions, even on fundamental matters that may concern the state's continued existence, independently of the legislative bodies. However, in accordance with Article 59, Sub-section 2 of the Basic Law, international treaties that regulate the Federation's relations with other nations or relate to matters of federal legislation require the "consent or participation of the appropriate legislative bodies in the form of a federal law".
In terms of the Bundesrat's rights, this means that a treaty law (a so-called "ratification law") requires Bundesrat consent when the adoption of a domestic law with similar content would, according to the Basic Law, likewise require the consent of the Bundesrat. If the Bundesrat denies approval of such an international agreement, the agreement cannot come into force. For example, the evolution of the European Communities into the European Union, through the Treaty of Maastricht, required the Bundesrat's approval. Other types of agreements subject to the Bundesrat's approval include agreements on emergency aid, official and legal assistance, tax laws, pension laws, protection of capital investments and environmental protection. If the Basic Law does not require Bundesrat consent for national implementation of the content of an international treaty, the treaty law must still be forwarded to the Bundesrat, but here the Bundesrat only has a right of objection (in the second "reading"). In such cases, the Bundestag can override the Bundesrat's objections, thus opening the way for treaty ratification. The Bundesrat's involvement in foreign affairs is also expressed in the Bundesrat's contacts with other countries through its committees, the Bundesrat President and individual members and in particular through official visits by delegations.
10. Right to be informed by the Federal Government
Article 53, third sentence of the Basic Law stipulates that the Bundesrat "shall be kept informed by the Federal Government with regard to the conduct of its affairs".
This obligation to provide information applies to all government business, and thus encompasses not only draft legislation and administrative projects but also, for example, information concerning the general political situation, foreign and defence policy. The Federal Government must provide this information to the Bundesrat of its own accord, promptly and in full on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, the Bundesrat also has a right to "summon" any member of the Federal Government to its plenary and committee meetings and to put questions to them. The members of the Federal Government are conversely also entitled to attend all meetings of the Bundesrat and its committees and have the right to speak at any time in these meetings. However, the Bundesrat only rarely makes use of its formal right to question members of the government in its plenary sessions. The Bundesrat does not use the Bundestag's system of what are known as major and minor interpellations, nor is there an explicit "Question Time" in the Bundesrat.
11. Other functions
The Basic Law assigns numerous other tasks and competences to the Bundesrat.
For example, the Bundestag and the Bundesrat each elect half of the members of the Federal Constitutional Court (Supreme Court). A two-thirds majority is required for these elections. The Bundesrat can also lodge complaints of unconstitutionality and can testify in cases before the Federal Constitutional Court. The Bundesrat also appoints representatives to the governing board of the Federal Employment Office and to various other public bodies. The Bundesrat has the right to propose the candidates for numerous public offices, or its consent is required for such appointments. Candidates for the posts of Federal Public Prosecutor, in both the Federal Supreme Court and other courts, and the Presidents of the Land Central Banks may only be proposed to the Federal President with Bundesrat consent.
The Federal Minister of Finance must give the Bundestag and Bundesrat an annual account of revenues and expenditure, so that the Federal Government can be "discharged".
Should the Federal Chancellor no longer enjoy the confidence of the Bundestag, without the Bundestag however being dissolved, the Federal Government may enact bills with the consent of the Bundesrat via a rather complicated procedure. In this kind of legislative emergency, as described in Article 81 of the Basic Law, the Bundesrat is a "reserve of legality" for the Bundestag, which would otherwise be unable to act.
The Bundesrat also fulfils a checks-and-balances function when it comes to the provisions enumerated in the Basic Law on federal monitoring of the states, internal emergencies and natural catastrophes. The Bundestag may only determine that there is an external emergency, i.e. the state of defence, with Bundesrat consent. In that case the special provisions on the state of defence apply, as provided for in the Basic Law in Articles 115 a to 115 k.

OnCue, a reportedly revolutionary Internet TV service from Intel that was supposed to launch last year, has been sold to Verizon, the two companies announced today.
Intel first started teasing OnCue last year, but missed its window for launch and spun the division off in a sale to Verizon for a rumoured $US500 million.
The service had a bunch of people scratching their heads from the beginning. Why would Intel, a chip maker with very little experience in consumer electronics and media services, attempt to revolutionise TV?
Well, if early reports are to be believed, Intel was actually onto something with OnCue. And now Verizon TV customers should get excited.
Intel never showed OnCue in public, but AdAge spoke with a few insiders last year who did see it and were blown away by the service.
Here’s a snapshot of what the product looked like at the time:
- All video would be delivered over the Internet, not through traditional cable services. Essentially, Intel would be your cable provider and you wouldn’t have to deal with your cable company to watch stuff. That alone solves a huge gripe people have with cable.
- OnCue is powered by a beautifully designed box with a front-facing camera. The camera would be able to tell when someone is in the room watching TV. (Intel later said it would get rid of the camera though.)
- Recorded shows are saved in a virtual DVR that lets you stream them over the Internet whenever you want to watch. The virtual DVR would supposedly record every TV show.
- It has a simple remote without confusing buttons.
- There’s integration with smartphones and tablets so you can watch TV on the go.
Verizon’s purchase of OnCue has to go through the standard regulatory approval process before its official over the next few months, so it’ll likely be some time before customers get to see it for themselves. Still, it at least sounds promising.

Jenny Slate & Chris Evans Have Broken Up Again, But There’s A Silver Lining
Fans who 'ship Chris Evans and Jenny Slate have held out hope that the couple would stay together for good. But if Evans' recent interview with The New York Times is any indication, it sounds like that ship has sailed, and Slate and Evans' latest break up might be for good. The Times profile, written by Reggie Ugwu, reports that Evans and Slate's relationship "recently ended," but, though you might be reaching for the tissues, there is at least one good thing to come out of it.
Much of the Times profile is devoted to Evans' new role in Broadway's Lobby Hero, a play by Kenneth Lonergan in which the actor plays a villainous cop. But Ugwu does mention Slate by name, noting that the actors' "on-again, off-again relationship" was "beloved by the internet." Ugwu includes the note about the breakup in a parenthetical aside about a book Evans recently read. Here's the section of the Times profile that mentions Slate:
."
Ugwu doesn't offer much information about Evans and Slate's break up, but what little was in the article was enough to send the internet into a spiral of tears.
And it's not hard to understand why this couple was so beloved by the internet. Evans and Slate first met on the set of Gifted, in which they co-starred as love interests. Rumors that they were dating started in May 2016, before the movie was released. At the time, the pair shared sweet words about each other during an appearance on Anna Faris' podcast, Anna Faris Is Unqualified. "Sometimes you just meet the same animal," Evans said on the podcast in 2016. "And that's just [what it's like] with Jenny."
Unfortunately for fans, though, Evans and Slate broke up in February 2017. The following month, Slate told Vulture that the two of them hadn't spoken much since the split. Here's what she told the outlet in March 2017:
"We're not on bad terms, but we haven't really seen each other, spoken a lot. I'd love to be his friend one day, but we threw down pretty hard. No regrets, though. Ever."
But here's the silver lining: it looks like something changed after Slate's conversation with Vulture, and the two not only got back in touch but continued to be a positive influence on each other's lives. Last November, rumors started going around that Evans and Slate were back together. The pair were reportedly seen together in New York, with Slate helping Evans look for an apartment to stay in during Lobby Hero's run. She also tweeted about her "boyfriend" in November, prompting fans to infer that she was referring to Evans, though she didn't mention him by name.
The initial re-coupling wasn't totally out of the blue, either. Though Slate said that she and Evans originally didn't remain close friends, they shared various positive sentiments about each other in interviews after their first split. Last March, Evans told People that "there’s just nothing to not love" about Slate. And in the same Vulture interview where she spoke about the breakup, Slate said that Evans' "heart is probably golden-colored, if you could paint it."
Based on the Times' account, it sounds like the two actors did get back together in recent months, but their relationship has come to another stopping point since then. The paper doesn't give an exact timeline of when Slate and Evans got back together and broke up again, but the way the news is worded does feel like it could be their final split.
At least it sounds like Slate and Evans continue to have positive influences on each other, even if they're no longer together. As Ugwu mentions, Evans did start reading Solnit's book while dating Slate. And if his relationship with her helped Evans learn more about listening to other people's perspectives, then that's another and even more positive outcome after their split.

I write as a recently retired tribunal judge.
Ten years of my working life were devoted to immigration and asylum issues.
I am driven to write because of the danger to our democracy caused by careless or deliberate misinformation.
I do not write for Remain, or for Leave – that is an issue for each individual.
1. Illegal entrants to this country are not the fault of the EU. Blame the countries they come from and the criminal people traffickers who bring them to these shores.
2. We do police our borders – how well is largely an issue of resources.
3. Our laws on Human Rights stem from the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ Centre December 1948. That declaration speaks of the human family and has this as its preamble – “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood” - a noble sentiment.
4. Whether we are in or out of the EU, unless we repeal our international obligations, this country will remain bound by the European Convention on Human Rights and the Geneva Convention which governs issues of asylum.
The EU had no part to play in drafting the ECHR or the Geneva Convention.
5. The European Court of Human Rights which oversees the way nations apply the ECHR is not part of the EU – it is entirely separate.
To give a clue Russia is a signatory to the ECHR.
6. The EU does seek to insist that all EU nations apply the ECHR and the Geneva Convention in a uniform manner – and to that extent the European Court of Justice does have oversight.
In reality that extra layer of oversight, which comes because of our membership of the EU, has little practical effect in the vast majority of cases.
7. Issues of asylum and human rights are governed by international laws and because they are international, courts of all countries will give credence to decisions made in other countries applying the same law.
8. We do deport foreign criminals, including criminals who are citizens of countries belonging to the EU.
In cases in which the criminal is a citizen of an EU country there is an additional test namely whether that criminal poses a risk to this country – there are grades of risk but I do not wish to become too technical. When a minister claims he can’t deport a foreign criminal what he really means is he has failed to prove that criminal falls within the category of criminal who should be deported – according to rules drawn by the Home Secretary, in part guided by our obligations as members of the EU. In any event dwelling on individual cases can lead to bad law.
9. For a country to remain democratic it is vital the “rule of law” applies. We lose our democracy if government and its ministers are not subject to the “rule of law”.
We should rejoice that occasionally a minister does not get his or her own way before our courts.
For me, human rights and asylum should have no part to play in the referendum debate – they only serve to obscure and confuse, unless dealt with in depth and by leading jurists and international lawyers – I am not one of that number.
In any case, whether in or out, I trust no one would suggest we no longer support those in danger in their own countries or disregard the rights of our fellow man.

The Smiling Beluga
Of the two toothed whales featured in this issue, the beluga is noted for its seemingly "fixed pleasant smile." Measuring (approximately) a metre and a half long at birth, the beluga can grow to nearly three metres long, with its birth-colour of dark brownish-grey fading to an adult white. The beluga uses its lips and forehead to make a variety of facial expressions, from smiles to frowns. It also emits a variety of sounds, from "moos" and clicks to squeaks and twitters. Living in the shallow coastal waters of the eastern and western Arctic and in the mouth of the St. Lawrence River, the beluga spends almost all of its time near the surface, rarely breaching..

HALP, Lee Sung Kyung Attended Nam Joo Hyuk's Fan Event!
Sooo, rumors that Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo co-stars Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk have been going around since they show ended. What with all their kisses that were reportedly adlibbed! Heehee ♥
But fans of the show (ehem, that includes us!) have been really hopeful since nowadays when Joo Hyuk revealed during his fan meeting that Sung Kyung was in the house. The camera then focused the embarrassed actress who even covered her face with a bottle. So cuuute!
One of the commenters also shared the translation of what the actor was saying on stage. Hee hee.
Crossing our fingers for these two and shipping them forever and ever. ♥♥♥

MOGADISHU, November 19 – The operators of a hijacked Saudi super-tanker carrying 100 million dollars of oil were waiting on Wednesday for further contact from the Somali bandits who staged their biggest act of piracy yet.,
Seized on Saturday in the Indian Ocean some 500 miles off the coast of Kenya, the Sirius Star arrived off the coast of Somalia on Tuesday, according to an official from the Somalia’s breakaway state of Puntland.
The hijacking of the largest ship yet by marauding Somali bandits, and the attack furthest away from Somalia, has stunned the international community.
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal slammed the attack.
"Obviously this is a very dangerous thing. Piracy, like terrorism, is a disease," the prince said in Athens. was loaded to capacity with two million barrels of oil when it was seized along with its crew of 25, 19 from the Philippines, two from Britain, two from Poland, one Croatian and one Saudi.
further Tuesday two attacks by heavily armed bandits.
The Sirius Star, the size of three soccer fields and three times the weight of a US aircraft carrier, is the largest ship ever seized by pirates and the hijacking was the farthest out to sea that Somali bandits have.
The majority of attacks by Somali pirates when it hijacked a Ukrainian cargo ship, when a bigger European Union mission is set to take over, alliance spokesman James Appathurai said Tuesday.
The International Maritime Bureau has reported that 90 vessels have been attacked since January. Of those, 38 were hijacked while pirates still hold 16 vessels with more than 250 crew as hostages.

Want to learn more about Secured credit?
A Secured credit card isn't a pre-paid card. It's a card that gives you access to credit, just like any other credit card. This means you have a credit limit, and as with other credit cards, your payment information is sent to the credit reporting agencies. When you show responsible credit use, like making your payments on time, these credit reporting agencies recognize that you're building a strong credit history. The difference with a Secured card is that you need to provide security funds as collateral. Banks may ask for collateral when giving customers a loan or mortgage, or when extending credit, because it helps guarantee the debt will be repaid. Collateral can also help demonstrate your commitment to using the card responsibly. The security funds you pay could be as low as $75, and they're fully refundable if you ever decide to close your account (as long as your balance has been paid in full).
You’re guaranteed to be approved – as long as you:
We have a number of checkpoints to ensure your identity stays safe during the application process. If we're unable to confirm your identity during the application process, you'll need to go into a Canada Post outlet and provide further identification.
