Pop culture is driven in part by film. Who hasn't heard someone else quote a film in everyday conversation, or done so themselves? And a uniquely American aspect of this is Car Culture. Americans love their cars and love movies about cars. Australia, of course, has a car culture which rivals America's — which explains the appearance of Australian films on this list.
There are tons of "Car Movies" out there, but there are only a few that I would consider "Must-See" films. I've included some older ones and some newer ones, but all of them — in my opinion — should be viewed by anyone with an interest in movies. I'm not just including "car chase" films, although that does make up the bulk of the list — we Americans love our cars and love going fast in our cars — but films with a car or cars at the center of the film.
I have listed these films in no particular order (that's why I'm not numbering the list). I don't suggest you should see any one before another, unless the two are part of a series — in which case you should likely view them in chronological order.
Now, grab some popcorn, pop in a disc (or fire up your favorite streaming service), and enjoy some Must-See Car Movies.
Never to be confused with the horrible 2000 remake starring Nicholas Cage and Angelina Jolie, this gem from writer/director/star H.B. Halicki has one of the most iconic and memorable car chases ever to grace the silver screen (although I might say that about most of the films on this list).
What sets this one aside, however, is the unapologetic carnage in the film. This is not a nice guy forced to do terrible things against his will. This is a car thief doing whatever he can to escape the police and keep the car — at any cost. The driver never stops to care about the other drivers who are victims of his relentless attempt to elude the police. In fact, the police are tipped off to his thefts by a disgruntled employee whom he has treated badly.
This film was also an exercise in guerrilla film making. H.B. Hallicki and his team filmed most of the movie on Sundays because the permit office was closed so no one would be out checking to see if they had the required permits (they didn't). In fact, the scene in which the Mustang clips a light pole and takes it down while trying to make a freeway exit was an accident. This was not part of the script and actually took out a real light pole. H.B. Hallicki got the car started again and just kept going. The authorities didn't know who was responsible until the movie was released.
Spoiler alert: This is one of those films where the bad guy gets away. And not only does he get away, but he gets away with the goods. Watch this for the chase scenes (while the long chase with the Mustang is the best, don't go refill your popcorn when the towtruck shows up), not for any moral lesson.
This one is creepy as hell. It's kind of a retelling of the story of the "Breakers", people who would use lights to attract ships onto hidden reefs at night and during storms in order to strand the ships and pillage their cargo.
Again, there is no moral lesson in the way these people kill, maim, and pillage, but it's fun to watch, anyway. Also note that this movie has Bruce Spence in it, who went on to play the Gyro Captain in Mad Max 2 and Jedediah the Pilot in Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome. BTW, take a look at these stills from this movie and from Mad Max: Fury Road. Homage, anyone?
Another film that starts with the flimsiest of story lines. The whole thing is fired off when the delivery driver, Kowalski, makes a bet that he can get this 1970 Challenger to San Francisco from Colorado in 15 hours. That's it. That's the whole impetus of the film. He's not an outlaw, the car isn't stolen. He just makes a bet concerning the speed with which he can make a legitimate delivery and his speeding is what attracts the attention of the police. That, and the fact that he just isn't going to be stopped.
Another difference between this one and Gone In 60 Seconds is the moral fiber of the protagonist. In one scene a motorcycle cop wipes out while chasing Kowalski. Kowalski stops and looks back. Once he sees that the cop is okay he continues on.
This movie also stars Cleavon Little as the blind DJ, Super Soul, who starts recounting Kowalski's escapades on air, much to the chagrin of the police and some locals. You should recognize Little as the new Sheriff in Blazing Saddles.
Oh, by the way, this is another that should not be mixed up with the terrible remake which came later.
If you're starting to get the idea that the early '70s (and perhaps 1974 in particular) were a good time for car movies, you're not wrong.
At least this one has an explanation for both why they're doing what they're doing and why this guy is such a good driver. Peter Fonda plays Larry Rayder, a NASCAR driver who doesn't have the money to compete. So he and his mechanic decide their best route to NASCAR success is to rob a grocery store.
Despite some early problems with their plan, and the intrusion of Larry's previous night's folly, Mary, his driving skills and Deke's mechanic skills seem to be keeping them ahead of the police. With some breaks from the action in which we see more and more friction between Larry and Mary (to be expected of this unwelcome tag-along dynamic) and between Larry and Deke (which doesn't bode well for a career on the NASCAR circuit) the many chases in this movie — and the sudden ending — make this one a definite must-see.
Part of the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez "Grindhouse" double-feature (Rodriguez's contribution was Planet Terror), this one tells the story of a psychotic stunt driver who apparently gets his kicks out of scaring the shit out of and killing women using his car.
He's successful in the first half, scaring the daylights out of the woman who has made the mistake of letting him give her a ride, then killing her and a carload of other women in a head-on crash which he alone survives. He's been very careful, too, as the cops just know he did this on purpose but don't have a shred of evidence against him. They can't even get him on DUI as he was drinking non-alcoholic drinks at the bar.
In the second half of the movie, though, he meets his match going up against three women test driving a "Vanishing Point Challenger", a duplicate of the 1970 Dodge from that movie. What happens next is among the most exciting car chases ever filmed — made even more exciting by the behind-the-scenes info on how the scene was shot. Stunt performer Zoe Bell plays herself in the film and is riding on the hood of the white Challenger when Kurt Russell's character (Stuntman Mike) starts the chase by banging into their vehicle with his. The stunt driver for the scene was worried about Zoe being on the hood, and wanted to do it at only 30mph. Tarantino kept asking her to do "another take" at slightly higher speeds until he got the shots at full speed.
And just when that chase ends, another begins, with the women in the Challenger now chasing Stuntman Mike, seeking revenge. What happens next just adds to and intensifies the earlier chase dynamics (including a pretty decent double-car jump). In a typically male-dominated genre, it's nice to see the women take control and be the aggressors for a change.
Released in the US as The Road Warrior (due to the fact that the original Mad Max did so poorly that studio execs didn't think American audiences would want to watch a sequel to a film they never saw), this movie continued the story of Max Rockatansky.
This film takes place after another world war has completed the societal collapse that had already begun in Mad Max. It's not until Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome we finally learn for sure that it was a nuclear war ("what's a little fallout among friends, eh?" as Max's geiger counter is going crazy over the water being sold).
This is where we get the first glimpses into Max's psyche that — although he has nothing left to live for — something in him just insists on continuing to live, no matter what. The custom vehicles in this film are even better than the slight modifications the cars were given in the first film, making them stars in their own right. And the massively long tanker chase is one of the best chase scenes ever put on film (I say that a few times on this list, but it's true).
Ron Howard plays Hoover, a reckless teenager who loves speed almost as much as the girl he has a crush on. When Darlene shows more interest in a hot car at the race track than she does in Hoover, he decides the way to her heart is to steal the car and take off on a wild ride through town.
Easily the funniest movie on this list ("He said he called me Hoover because I put him into a depression."), the chases on town roads, through fields, and down steep hillsides ("Oh, my god, we killed him!") will keep the car enthusiast in you happy while the laughs will just add to the enjoyment of this wild teenage romp.
Again, there are some brief asides — including a trip to the gas station in a horse-drawn wagon, putting the gas in milk canisters, and a very inventive money exchange — for character development and further story-telling, but the humor never leaves even if the action does cool down a bit during these spots.
I know if you aren't already familiar with it it's a hard sell, Ron Howard in a car movie, so here's the trailer:
This one is probably on every Car Movie list ever created, and with good reason. It's a cop movie that just happens to have (here I go again) one of the best car chases ever put on film.
Steve McQueen as San Francisco cop Frank Bullitt turns the pursuit around and starts chasing the guys who were following him. The chase flies through some of San Francisco's more memorable locations and wreaks absolute havoc on the streets.
One behind-the-scenes story (whether it's true or not is debateable) contends that the city refused permission to film the part of the chase that goes down a particularly steep hill, crashing into parked cars along the way, so Steve McQueen hopped into the Mustang, told the crew to roll film, and did it anyway. Only instead of cars brought in by the studio — in the very best guerrilla style — McQueen crashed into whatever cars were parked on the street and the studio simply came along behind and paid the owners off afterwards. The stunt reportedly resulted in a reckless driving charge for McQueen, but like I said, take this story with a grain of salt. (I checked Snopes.com but found nothing.)
Yes, there is another movie between this one and Mad Max 2, which is listed above. But while that one is good in its own right, I didn't think it deserved a place on this list.
Fury Road, on the other hand, is worth watching just for the custom vehicles, alone. Check out this shot from the film:
While some of the effects are wonky (the dust storm scene is the best example) and take a bit more suspension of disbelief, the whole film is thoroughly enjoyable as a car film (see above) and as a chase film.
While not strictly a "car" movie (like Bullitt), this one does have one of the best car chases on film. What makes this one even better is that the vehicles used in this movie aren't normally considered muscle cars or sports cars (although I'm sure there are quite a few Europeans who would disagree with my America-centric assessment). They use stock sedans to chase each other around city streets and country roads, with some pretty intense wrong-way action, too.
In this movie the cars are definitely not the stars, but what the characters do with the cars is still pretty fun to watch. But don't take my word for it:
LOL! I bet you thought I was going to miss this one, didn't you? Are you kidding? This is one of the all-time fun car movies!
Another one with equal parts humor and bad-ass cars/chases, this film rocketed the 1977 Pontiac Trans-Am's sales to statospheric levels. The car was definitely one of the characters.
Also, along with all of the great car chase scenes, who can forget when Snowman puts the pedal to the metal and flies his big rig past the Bandit and into the derby grounds — with a trailer full of Coors, no less?
That's eleven. I was going to stop at ten. In the future I might do more, but I hope you get a kick out of this list and hopefully I've introduced you to at least one Must-See Car Movie you haven't yet seen.

Henry Preston writes:
Please, please, help nip this malapropism in the bud: “Pre-Madonna.” I’m not kidding, I’ve seen this twice in the past few weeks on comment boards.
prima donna [prē’mə dŏn’ə] (“pree muh don uh”) is an Italian term translated literally as “first lady.” In the music world, a prima donna is the best and most celebrated female singer in an opera company.
Maria Callas swept into New York. She arrived, as is proper for prima donnas, in triumph.
[Carmen] Melis had been a soprano prima donna at La Scala in Milan and had sung with Caruso and Titta Ruffo.
Often referred to as the greatest Italian prima donna of the last half century, Tebaldi made her debut as Elena in Boito’s Mefistofele in 1944.
Because some prime donne (plural of prime donna) felt that their talent and popularity deserved special treatment, the term came to mean “self-centered, arrogant, uncooperative person.” In this sense it is used to describe gifted or otherwise significant people who know their worth and want everyone else to kowtow to them because of it.
The Senate, meanwhile, is an institution that, by nature, furthers individualistic prima-donna-ism on both sides of the aisle.
This is namely for executives: how do you deal with prima donna employees? What is the best approach?
Steele’s A Prima Donna But We Aren’t Ready To Kick Him Off Stage
One use of “pre-Madonna” is as a play on words in connection with the pop singer Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone. When it comes to out-and-out ignorance of the term, the greatest supply of examples is to be found on semi-literate blogs and comment boards, and in sports writing.
you both sound like pree-madonna little girls? arguing over a game, im not trying to get involved in ur war, but how about growing up?
im a young egyption princess or milk maid im the greatest pree madonna in the land,
I am sick in tired reality show celebs acting like pree-Madonna.
Ankela is a little pre-madonna. What an attitude problem. The worst thing of it is that he actually believes that he is far superior to his peers.
My trainer calls me a preemadonna cause i like to look good lol.
Jay cutler is a primadonna (Not like Alex Rodriguez [was] a pree madonna)
Lebron “Premadonna” James will never win a championship!!
It’s amusing that a term meaning “best female singer” has come to be applied to burly athletes.
The Italian term for “best male singer” is primo uomo [prē’mō ‘wɔːmo].
Bottom line: Unless the context has something to do with the pop music world before singer Ciccone came along, the expression is prima donna.

In The Hotel
Sunday, March 16, 1930
The lobby of the Kenmore Hall Hotel was deserted at three in the morning. Its skylit lounge was shrouded in pearl shadows, the passenger lift stood wearily at attention, the night porter dozed in the vestibule. Sitting behind the front desk was the assistant manager, a long-legged youth of twenty-six in a Brooks Brothers, three-button wool suit. On this night he bent over the keyboard of a typewriter, pounding out a letter to his girlfriend, Beatrice, in Paris and puffing on a cigarette. 'Nothing happens,' he wrote.
Kenmore Hall, a pretty redbrick residence hotel not yet two years old, was home to hundreds of young professionals who booked by the week or month. Prized for its desirable address near Gramercy Park, its reasonable rates, and amenities such as a pool and roof garden, the place always had a waiting list for vacancies, sometimes a long one. Nat was supposed to remember guests' names, but he happened to know a great deal more, and not just gossip either. He knew exactly when they awoke and when they left for their offices, who got mail and from whom, what time they went to bed, and which ones couldn't sleep, because the bleary-eyed were known to shuffle down to the lobby and fret about it, as if he could do anything. There were friendly women who found pretexts for inviting him to their rooms. To all proposals he would beg off with an easy smile and a general refusal worded to give no offense. He took fewer pains with the prostitutes, alone or in pairs, who constantly tried to sneak past the desk on their way to the elevator. Hookers -- and stolen bath towels -- were his biggest aggravations.
Otherwise, the position of assistant manager was not terribly taxing. Aside from charming everyone, the main requirements on the graveyard shift were staying awake and issuing orders in emergencies. Even at the best hotels, the worst things were liable to happen after midnight, and Nat had trained himself to take in stride noisy parties, fires, heart attacks, failed suicides, occasional corpses, and unscheduled checkouts of guests trying to jump their bills. As some anonymous hotelier once said, 'Listen to everything and say nothing.' And so Nat had diligently learned to comport himself with a silky mixture of servility and severity.
But typically nights at Kenmore Hall were serene. From the tiled spa and pool below his feet rose the steady slapping of brilliant sapphire-colored water. Stacked on top of his head stretched the hushed building, seven hundred rooms, twenty-two stories, its long carpeted hallways mouse-quiet. He kept a room there and when nothing required his special attention he could, if he wished, slip upstairs to 207 for a short rest (but he could never close his eyes). Occasionally he invited people to drop by for a nocturnal swim. Alone, he was rarely in the mood to bother changing clothes and showering, returning to the desk with wet hair and the faint perfume of chlorine still in his nose. For a year now, he'd been saving his free time for his book.
Last winter, something like March -- or maybe February -- he had gone to eat at Siegel's, a deli nestled under the Sixth Avenue elevated tracks in the Village. It was a friendly place smelling of pickles and pastrami, and Nat liked stopping there before work to meet two former classmates, Quentin Reynolds and Sidney Perelman, both of them writers and the latter his sister's fiancé. One day Quent showed up with a handful of letters from readers of the newspaper where he was employed. Like most big papers, the Brooklyn Daily Times published an advice column, 'Susan Chester Heart-to-Heart Letters,' which appeared on the women's page, hemmed in by meat-loaf recipes and Modish Mitzi fashion cartoons. Signing theatrical pseudonyms ('Puzzled,' 'Heartbroken and Blue'), the letter writers typically sought guidance on unrequited love or how to attract husbands sure to bring them lifetimes of misery.
Whether there ever had been a person named Susan Chester scarcely mattered; the Susan beat was rotated throughout the newsroom, to female and male staff alike. The only qualification for doling out advice was reasonable good sense. Not surprisingly, the assignment was viewed as an irritation, something to be endured without complaint, accompanied by prayers for speedy deliverance. Quent, keen to cover sports or straight news, was stuck with Susan for the moment. To Siegel's he brought six letters the paper had discarded as too disturbing for its readers, thinking Sid might be inspired to do a satire on advice columns.
Midway through dinner the letters were passed around the table, but Sid handed them back with a shrug. A few showed 'comic superficialities,' he told Quent, but where were the laughs? For that matter, were they true? It was hard to tell if the writers were real people. Some impressed Sid as stock characters, your average New York crackpot. What he needed were subjects lending themselves to subtle ridicule, like his lampoon of dental magazines, in which he offered a guide to performing one's own extractions. The Dear Susan letters were quickly forgotten when the conversation shifted to more pressing matters. In recent months he and Quent had been collaborating on a humorous novel but had yet to agree on a suitable title, something catchy that might sell a million copies. Through the Fallopian Tubes on a Bicycle?
Nat, who had remained silent, began to look at the letters out of curiosity. One of them came from a woman identifying herself as Broad Shoulders, who claimed that her husband beat her and infected her with gonorrhea before abandoning her with a brood of kids. Another writer was a crippled sixteen-year-old who feared never being asked for a date. Still others described problems having to do with the evils of gin. To be sure, the situations sounded pitiful, but after a point it was really hard not to giggle.
Immediately Nat was intrigued by these freaky people who, claiming to be cheated of a normal life, kept busy reporting their sagas to anonymous editors, and to strangers who might bear witness to the unfairness of their plights. How in the world did they manage to keep going, let alone write about it? Of course Sid could be right in suspecting the letters to be stunts. For all Nat knew, they came from aspiring writers in disguise, although there had to be easier ways to get published.
As the men were leaving the restaurant, Nat decided to stick the letters in his pocket. It was possible that the material was wrong for satire but useful fodder for fiction. To begin with, the idea of Quent, a big guy who'd played varsity football at Brown, being shoved onto the lovelorn beat and forced to pretend he was Susan Chester, was good for a few laughs. With the addition of the crazed letter writers -- a regular mulligan stew of loons, cripples, permanent deadbeats, and retards -- the story became even more tempting. Imagine what complications might follow if the poor guy had to meet one of these screwy dames.
For weeks on end, Nat pondered the letters. Maybe something unpredictable could be done, perhaps a kicky cartoon story about a male advice columnist. Such an original concept would surely provide a lot of fun.
A whole year had passed since that evening at Siegel's and he had made little progress on his story about a columnist he was calling Thomas. Later, of course, the columnist wouldn't be called Thomas and Nat would forget he ever had writer's block, even try to repress how he got the letters in the first place. But now he was bogged down in details like whether to use first- or third-person narration. He couldn't tell who was the hero and who the villain. Were they the same person? And did it really matter? After reading several chapters, Sid said the manuscript resembled something out of Beowulf. It was too epic, too professorial, too ridiculously intellectual. Get rid of the Dostoyevsky stuff, he suggested; forget about playing amateur psychologist and start describing 'people and things,' like other writers. Nat said that was 'just what I was trying to avoid.' He didn't want to be like anybody else.
He had already completed a first novel deemed absolutely, positively unpublishable by all who had seen it. A published author in his daydreams, he imagined himself living on some little street in the heart of the Latin Quarter, lounging on the sand beaches of the Côte d'Azur, and writing whenever the mood took him. Planning to join his girlfriend in June and get married, he had memorized ship schedules but now he knew he wasn't going anywhere. He couldn't. Quitting his job was too scary. When Beatrice found out, she would kill him.
With the appearance of daylight on that Sunday morning in March, Nat's shift was drawing to a close. Beyond the lobby the early morning smell of baking bread floated in from the kitchen; above stairs, there were polished shoes and folded newspapers lying outside doors and laundry baskets that would soon be overflowing with crumpled sheets; and so another day was about to dawn for the dreaming ladies and gentlemen of Kenmore Hall. In a rush to finish his letter, Nat ignored the spelling errors and ended gracefully something he hadn't wished to write in the first place. He typed, 'You are a swell girl,' which was true, followed by 'and I love you,' which was open to some doubt.
When his night-duty report had been turned over to the manager, it was time to weave his way uptown, past Madison Square Park, toward Times Square and Columbus Circle, into the quiet streets of the Upper West Side, where he lived with his parents in a cramped apartment, its four rooms a melancholy reminder of all that had gone wrong lately. Five months after the stock market crash, upheavals in residential construction had left developers like Nat's father feeling powerless and his wife of thirty years terrified. Consumed with worry, Anna Weinstein could not be bothered with her son's Gentile girl or his ambition to become a writer -- and as she liked to say, everybody knew that writers were good-for-nothing bums.
His mother didn't believe in him. The trouble was, neither did anybody else. But he was going to be writer anyhow; it was something he had known since he was eight, reading Anna Karenina on his roof in Harlem. If writing meant becoming a bum, that's what he would be.

MUMBAI: Production of low-quality counterfeit goods has the potential to significantly undermine the 'Make in India' programme that seeks to establish the country as a global manufacturing hub, a report has said.
The counterfeit market is growing at a rate of 44 per cent per annum and has touched Rs 1.05 lakh crore in size in 2014, according to 'Sell SMART' report by industry body FICCI and consultancy firm KPMG.
As a consequence, since 2010, India has been on the US' `Priority Watch List' of countries more exposed to IPR (intellectual property rights) violations globally, it said.
Alcohol, consumer packaged goods, personal care products, tobacco, mobile and mobile components, auto parts and computer software and hardware are the sectors that are most prone to counterfeiting, the report said.
It added, of the total bogus goods sold in the country in 2014, FMCG, alcoholic beverages and tobacco accounted for a staggering 65 per cent.
Production of low-quality counterfeit goods has the potential to significantly undermine the goal of 'Make in India' programme. Counterfeiting is a challenge to the government and its most direct impact is felt through the loss of tax revenue, the report said.
In 2014, the government lost about Rs 39,200 crore in tax collections to the counterfeit trade, an increase of 50 per cent from Rs 26,100 crore in 2012. Of this, FMCG and alcoholic beverages sectors accounted for a loss of about Rs 27,500 crore, or about 70 per cent, it added.
"Counterfeit goods is a huge issue that needs to be addressed. Counterfeiting is more prevalent in rural and semi- urban areas compared to urban areas," KPMG Partner Rajat Wahi said.
The report said a company's direct distribution network has a strong link to copied products as the supply gap created by lack of direct reach acts as a driver for such items.
"In case of FMCG, a retailer who is considered to be small to be economically viable to service, is forced to rely on wholesalers for merchandise purchase. With limited capital, these retailers are easily lured by the promise of low risk, high margin counterfeit goods."
In India, 80 per cent of consumers buying counterfeit goods purchase them with the belief they are genuine, the report maintained.
An HUL spokesperson said, "We sell and distribute our products across all channels such as General Trade, Modern Trade, eCom, Cash & Carry B2B, etc, to make it convenient for our shoppers and consumers to buy our trusted brands."

When you are determining whether to use a water heater or a boiler, it is useful to understand the primary differences between the two. A traditional water heater contains heating elements inside a storage tank. It uses gas or electricity to heat the water to an average temperature of 125 degrees. It contains a temperature regulator to keep this ideal temperature consistent. When a fixture is turn on, the water travels through pipe to the needed location. Boilers are different in that they boil water, turning it into steam. Steam is a great way to transfer heat, and it travels more efficiently than water. Steam is much lighter than water. There are several types of boilers, so be sure to choose one that fits your specific needs when you are ready for your boiler install. Here are three significant advantages of selecting a boiler rather than a traditional water heater for your New York plumbing and heating needs.
Single system – A boiler can be used to heat water and air. The steam can be used to replace a heating system. This means you do not need a heating system and a water heater. One boiler does both jobs.
Environmentally friendly – Boilers can burn corn, wood, and other renewable fuels. This is a “green” alternative to a traditional water heater.
Efficiency – Boilers are known for being highly efficient because they use steam. This is especially true in a closed system. Most boiler systems are closed, avoiding loss of steam and heat.
In the past, boilers had a questionable reputation due to some design flaws. However, modern boilers have overcome many of these obstacles. The primary improvements include:
Size – New boilers are much smaller than they were in the past. Old systems were large and clunky. Now, they are available in a variety of convenient smaller sizes.
Sound – They are much quieter today than they were in previous years. No one wants to listen to a loud piece of equipment in his or her home. Manufacturers recognized this problem and corrected it with quieter products.
Reliability – Modern boilers are more reliable than ever.
Control – Temperature control was probably the biggest issue boilers faced. Crude temperature management has been replaced with modern methods of accurate temperature measurement, regulation, and control.
There are many misconceptions about boilers. These include:
Cost – Some individuals believe boilers are too expensive. While there are high-end models that cost a substantial amount, there are also moderately priced products available. They have become very affordable for the average homeowner.
Large radiator – Some people think boilers need a giant radiator. Depending on your individual system, it is unnecessary to replace your current radiator.
When purchasing a new boiler, it is crucial that you first evaluate your exact needs. Determine how much water and/or heat is required. Knowing this information helps determine the size and type of product to purchase. Examine all of the options. There is a wide variety of boilers on the market today. It is helpful to discuss these factors with a New York plumbing and heating professional. Experts are readily available to assist with this process. A new boiler is a significant investment, so you want to ensure that you purchase the best product or your specific needs. It is useful to have a budget in place before you begin seeking a new boiler. This way, you can exclude ones that are obviously out of your price range.
While traditional hot water heaters are still predominantly in use, boilers are gaining popularity. People are becoming more environmentally conscious and want products that are most efficient. If you are ready to have a new water heater or boiler installed, consider the benefits of a boiler. Contact the New York plumbing and heating experts at Kew Forest Plumbing for more information.

Francis Hugh Dominic Breslin 19.8.21
It is with sadness that we note the passing of Frank Breslin on 19 August 2021 after a period of ill health. He was almost 90 years old. Frank was a good friend to many of his colleagues in Sydney. He was generous to many of us in the early days of our careers when he invited us to assist him in surgery and act as locums in his practice at St. Leonards.
I first met Frank in 1979 when I was a surgical registrar at the old Mater Public Hospital in North Sydney. He was a kind and careful urologist from whom I learnt many “pearls”. We became colleagues at Royal North Shore Hospital when I joined the Urological Department there.
Frank’s father was a GP on the lower North Shore. He was educated at St Ignatius College Riverview and Sydney University Medical School from where he graduated with honours in 1955. Subsequently, he was a RMO at St Vincent’s Hospital Darlinghurst and then was a Surgical Registrar/Medical Superintendent at Lewisham Hospital where he came under the influence of Alban Gee who was a contemporary of the Harris brothers who revolutionised open prostatic surgery in the pre-antibiotic era leading to a significant reduction in mortality. They were foundation members of the Urological Society.
In 1958 Frank travelled to the UK for further Urological training at St Phillip’s, Hillingdon and St Paul’s Hospitals in London obtaining FRCS(London) in 1959.
He returned to Sydney in 1962 and became a VMO in Urology at the Mater, Lewisham and St Margaret’s Womens Hospitals. Upon closure of the Mater in 1982 he joined the staff at Royal North Shore Hospital where he was a valued colleague. He became FRACS(Urology) in 1966. He was the Treasurer of the USANZ in 1972-1973 and was NSW State Chairman in1986.He retired from Urological practice in 2001 and continued in Medico-Legal Consulting.
Frank had many interests outside of Urology. He was a keen golfer, a sailor and he farmed in Junee for a time. He grew canola and raised sheep and cattle. Frank played the piano. He loved jazz and sing-a-longs around the piano with family and friends.
He was devoted to Gabrielle, his wife of almost 60 years and to his two daughters and two sons and many grandchildren. To Gabrielle and the family we extend our heartfelt condolences.
Vale Frank. We will miss you.
Obituary prepared by Dr Ken Vaux.

Portugal’s first floating wind farm starts producing
PRESS RELEASE – The first platform of the WindFloat Atlantic floating wind farm has started producing energy for Portugal’s power grid, after being successfully connected on 31st December. The platform is equipped with an 8.4 MW wind turbine, the largest ever installed on a floating platform.
The first of the three platforms was successfully connected after the energisation of the 20-kilometre long cable connecting the offshore wind farm and the substation of Viana do Castelo. The other two units will be connected successively until the floating wind farm reaches its full potential of 25 MW.
The commissioning of this wind farm facilitates access to untapped marine areas and represents a significant technological leap towards shaping a carbon-free economy in Portugal. The WindFloat Atlantic platforms are anchored with chains to the seabed at a depth of 100 metres. They are designed to be transported by standard towing craft, as opposed to bottom-fixed projects which require expensive vessels to be mobilized for transport, and their on-shore assembly helps scale back logistics, financial and environmental costs associated with marine construction. All of these technological advantages make it viable for the project to be replicated anywhere in the world, at a much larger scale.
The project took another step forward, once the second of the three platforms that make up the WindFloat Atlantic had arrived at its final destination in the past days. Once fully operational the three Wind Turbine generators making up the wind farm will be able to generate enough energy to supply the equivalent of 60,000 users each year.

Building a Slum-Free Mumbai
The expansion and persistence of slums in Mumbai is primarily a function of failed housing policies combined with other political factors, writes Fellow Yue Zhang.
From Mumbai to “Slumbai”
When you fly into Mumbai and the plane is landing, the first thing that meets your eyes is a cramped sprawl of corrugated iron–roofed huts. They are right next to the airport runway, quietly yet powerfully reminding you that you are entering a city where nearly half of the population lives in slums. As India’s economic capital and most populous city, Mumbai has a total population of 12.44 million — 42 percent of whom live in slums. The percentage of slum dwellers in the city is so high that locals joke that Mumbai should be renamed “Slumbai.”
The definition of a slum has two dimensions. From a legal perspective, slums are unauthorized and illegal structures, where inhabitants do not have legal title to the land that they occupy. In terms of living conditions, slums are areas that are short of basic amenities and characterized by the prevalence of insanitary, squalid, overcrowded conditions, and hence become a source of danger to their inhabitants’ health, safety, or convenience.
In the first official survey that Mumbai conducted in 1956, 8 percent of the total population lived in slums. Over the years, the population of the city grew at a high speed and so did the number of slum dwellers. Today, nearly 5.2 million people live in slums, and the number is still increasing.
Nearly one million people live in Dharavi, the largest slum in Mumbai as well as in Asia, where the film Slumdog Millionaire was shot. It is home to a large number of microindustries, including pottery, tanning and leatherworking, and plastic recycling. A walk through Dharavi or any other slum would completely change your mind about what slums mean in Mumbai: they are not clusters of temporary shelters, but complex ecological and economic systems, “a city within a city.” Many slum dwellers in Mumbai are not the official poor who live below the poverty line, but are well-educated, middle-class people who are deprived of adequate housing.
Understanding the Prevalence and Persistence of Slums
Large-scale slum proliferation is a complicated issue relevant to a variety of factors. The scarcity of land, dictated by Mumbai’s peculiar geography and heightened by the competition from other economic activities, is one factor that has made formal housing unaffordable for most Mumbaikars. However, the expansion and persistence of slums in Mumbai is primarily a function of failed housing policies combined with other political factors.
In the past 60 years, a series of policies have restricted the land and housing supply in Mumbai, rather than creating a favorable environment for the construction of large housing stock needed for the growing population.
The percentage of slum dwellers in the city is so high that locals joke that Mumbai should be renamed “Slumbai.”
The Rent Control Act, passed in 1947, led to the freezing of rents, which disincentivized private capital from creating housing stock for rental purposes. In 1973, the Rent Control Act was amended to provide all the tenants’ rights to the licensees, making the rental business even more difficult for the private sector. Further, the passage of the 1976 Urban Land Ceiling and Regulation Act put several tracts of land under litigation and restricted the supply of large tracts of land for the purpose of housing construction.
Even as the rental market has been dismantled and private sector has been disincentivized to create more housing stock, the government has made little effort to increase the supply of affordable housing.
In 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the vision of “Housing for All,” in the hope of providing more affordable housing to the poor. This is the first time that the Indian government has brought up housing as a major issue on its agenda, but it is up to each state to formulate its own plans on how to achieve the goal. The Government of Maharashtra (which administers Mumbai) formulated a comprehensive and ambitious New Housing Policy and Action Plan that aims to provide 1.9 million houses, of which 0.8 million will be in Mumbai, for low-and middle-income groups in the state. But whether and how the plan will be implemented is still unknown.
Over the years, slums have become “vote banks.”
Politicians periodically provide services to slum dwellers in exchange for votes. The exchange through electoral politics brings about incremental improvement of the living conditions of slums, but does not solve the long-term problem of housing shortage. On the contrary, the exchange stabilizes existing slums and even provides incentives for the creation of new slums.
Government Responses: The History
The Indian government’s responses to slums have gone through several changes. In the 1950s and 1960s, the initial government reaction was to clear slums and rehouse slum dwellers in subsidized rental housing. This approach did not succeed owing to the shortage of resources to build and maintain housing stocks and the lack of political will to do so. Meanwhile, it was realized that slum dwellers contribute significantly to the local economy, so the government began to have a more tolerant attitude toward slums.
In the 1970s and 1980s, the government adopted a different approach to improve and upgrade the living conditions in slums. Through various acts and programs, specifically aid from the World Bank, the government provided basic services such as water, toilets, electricity, pathways, street lights, conservancy, and primary health care and education to slum dwellers. At the same time, leasehold tenure of land was transferred to cooperative housing societies of slum dwellers. However, the scale of the programs remained limited and did not prevent slum proliferation.
Current Model of Slum Redevelopment
After the previous two phases of slum clearance and slum upgrading, in 1995 the government started a new scheme of slum redevelopment. Under the current scheme, private developers can purchase slum land from the government at a relatively low price — 25 percent of the fair market value of the land — and redevelop the land through the incentive floor space index. (Floor space index, a ratio of built-up area to appurtenant land, is a planning and development control tool used to control population density and building design from the point of view of health and safety.)
Specifically, after purchasing the slum land and obtaining the consent of 70 percent of the slum dwellers in the community, the developer will clear the land and rehouse the eligible slum dwellers free of cost in multistory-building tenements of 269 square feet (upgraded from 225 square feet) carpet area per household. Only slum dwellers who have documents to prove that they have been living in the slum prior to the cut-off date of January 1, 2000, are eligible for the free housing. The rehabilitation buildings are on a part of the land occupied by the slum (in situ).
In return, the developer can construct buildings on the rest of the slum land and sell them on the market as a free-sale component. Through this model, some of Mumbai’s most prominent real estate development projects have been built on former slum land. For instance, Imperial Towers, a twin-tower luxury residential skyscraper complex in South Mumbai, are the tallest buildings and one of the most expensive real estate projects in India. Inaugurated in 2010, they were built on former slum land where the current model of slum redevelopment was first put into large-scale practice.
To ensure the implementation of the slum redevelopment model, the Government of Maharashtra created the Slum Redevelopment Authority (SRA) in 1997. The authority would be the agency responsible for evaluating and approving slum redevelopment proposals submitted by developers. The chief minister of Maharashtra is the SRA chairperson. In the past two decades, 0.15 million tenements have been rehabilitated in this model, against the target of 1 million in the first decade. Another 0.12 million tenements have been approved for rehabilitation, but construction is yet to begin.
In a recent conversation with Aseem Gupta, chief executive officer of SRA, he reveals that SRA will expedite the process by giving slum dwellers an ultimatum to select a developer to work with. If they fail to do so before the required date, SRA would designate a developer for the community in order to speed up redevelopment.
Problems of the Model
Mumbai is among the first cities in the world that have adopted a market-dominant model to redevelop slums. Given the limited resources of local authorities, the model provides an alternative approach to handling informal settlements, an issue that many developing countries are facing. As innovative as it is, the model demonstrates several problems.
- The operation of the model starts from the direct negotiation between slum dwellers and developers. Although it gives slum dwellers the freedom to choose which developer to work with, it often leads to fights between developers, as they all have the desire to redevelop profitable areas. The unregulated and even vicious competition between developers also creates opportunities for rent-seeking.
- The current model does not provide specific standards on the quality of rehabilitation buildings. Much discretion is left to developers. Some of the rehabilitation buildings are designed and constructed in a way that compromises the living standards of inhabitants. Some rehabilitation plots do not have sufficient amenities or open space. There is the danger that the rehabilitation buildings will become “vertical slums.”
- Because of the cut-off date for eligibility of rehabilitation, the ineligible population is left with no option but to stay in unauthorized manner in slums. Many of them have to settle in a new slum after their previous slum is demolished by the government.
- The current model provides free housing to slum dwellers, and developers have to load the cost of rehabilitation on the saleable component. Therefore, the model does not encourage the construction of housing at various price levels and ultimately leads to the increase of housing prices on the formal market.
Many slum dwellers in Mumbai are not the official poor who live below the poverty line, but are well-educated, middle-class people who are deprived of adequate housing.
Based on the problems identified above, the following policy recommendations can be made in order to improve the process and outcomes of slum redevelopment in Mumbai.
- Reform the SRA model. The SRA has been functioning merely as an approving authority that scrutinizes the developers’ proposals on behalf of slum dwellers and approves or reject them. To streamline the process and guarantee the quality of rehabilitation buildings, SRA should act as a planner, facilitator, and anchor, not merely as an approving authority. It is important to mobilize the private sector in the slum redevelopment process, but the public sector should play a more active role rather than completely taking a backseat.
- Increase the provision of affordable housing. The housing stock being created in the market outside of the rehabilitation component of slum redevelopment is mostly in the luxury or high-cost segment, and is not catering to the demand for affordable houses of the low- and middle-income groups of the population. The government should more systematically create housing stock for low- and middle-income groups.
- Promote rental housing. Under the current regressive rent control law, 0.318 million (16%) of the total 1.935 million houses in Mumbai are unoccupied. The government must create an enabling environment to revitalize the Mumbai rental market, both private and public.
The Government of Maharashtra has set a goal to make Mumbai slum-free by 2022. This is an ambitious goal, considering the current pace of slum redevelopment. But perhaps what is more important than the pace of redevelopment is the approach of redevelopment — namely, whether the approach can efficiently provide quality housing to slum dwellers, increase the provision of affordable housing in the city at large, and ultimately contribute to the creation of more livable and inclusive cities.

Child Development Centres (CDCs)
Infants and young children of plantation workers were often placed in poorly supervised and dilapidated crèches, or in the care of aged and infirm grandparents, not all who possess the wherewithal to shoulder such burdens in their twilight years. This often leads to inadequate care resulting from a lack of nutrition and poor general health. In addressing this issue, the Foundation has thus far restored 61 crèches cum Child Development Centres (CDCs) and constructed 14 new Centres which provide care and welfare for over 2,000 children of Dilmah tea garden workers daily. These Child Development Centres are equipped with facilities which enable sound development of young minds, while qualified and caring staff manage the daily operations. The staff members are often themselves part of the plantation. These Centres are fully-funded by the MJF Charitable Foundation.

Received the photographs this morning and we are absolutely delighted with them.
Thank you again for helping to make my birthday special.
We wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for photographing Finn's christening. It was a real pleasure having you capture the day. You made the whole experience, before and on the day enjoyable. On the day you made us, and our guests, feel very relaxed and this can be seen in the photos, even when we asked you to capture a photo we hadn't mentioned before you were more than happy to do it and it turned out perfectly. Most importantly we are over the moon with the photos, which have come out brilliantly, you have been able to capture special moments of the day. Receiving all the photos on a memory stick and so quickly after the christening, was great. We have been able to share and print them easily.
Thank you so much again, we will definitely recommend you to others.
Ailsa & John
"I just wanted to write to thank you and your wife for everything you did for us on Saturday at Carlowrie Castle. The very high quality of your photographs on your web site and the early images we have seen from the wedding speak for themselves, but what we also really appreciated on Saturday was your approach to the event. We very much felt that you were part of the day, rather than an intrusion, which can sometimes be the case.
Nothing was too much trouble despite the fact that you had so many people chipping in with their opinion, and your ability to put those of us who struggle with the idea of getting our photos taken at our ease with your humour and easy manner was much appreciated.
With all the very best and thank you
Stewart (father of the bride)
"WOW WOW WOW!!!! All absolutely beautiful, you captured our day so well. We just sat doing a slide show and oooooh'd and aaaaaaaaaaaah'd over every single one. We can't thank you enough Jim."
Olivia and Will
"If you are considering getting a photographer then my partner and i would highly recommend Jim as he is an honest, professional, friendly, enthusiastic,
hard working and reliable photographer. We hired Jim for our special wedding day and he far exceeded our expectations. He was approachable, courteous and has a good sense of humour too! We would happily choose him again as our photographer for any future requirements"
Matt and Amy
"These photos are fabulous!! Words are not going to do this justice but we cannot thank you enough for your incredible effort, support & warmth yesterday & on the run up to our big day. Your attention to detail & superb personality made working with you an absolute pleasure. We had a ball & genuinely enjoyed the photo opportunities, especially when just out the three of us!! You're work was above & beyond & that did not go unnoticed.
You are an absolute gent".
Karen and Iain
"Just wanted to say thanks so much for all our amazing pictures which capture what was a perfect day. We were so glad you were part of it - will definitely recommend you - we have had a few people asking".
Love, Mr & Mrs Stewart
"Thanks so much for all your efforts Jim, the processed images look incredible, we're both delighted with all of them. You helped in making and capturing our big day, everybody has been complimenting on how good the photos turned out, especially the beach shots. Your relaxed approach and professionalism were exactly what we wanted from our wedding photographer and we have passed on your details to a number of friends who have weddings coming up over the next couple of years. Thanks again for everything you did."
Kevin and Terri
"We cannot recommend Jim highly enough as a wedding photographer. He worked incredibly hard and his attention to detail was fantastic. His photos are a beautiful record of the day and captured it perfectly. He was a pleasure to have around on the day- calm, down to earth and unobtrusive, and we had some good laughs!."
Susan and Karen
"Thank you again for everything you did, you really made us feel at ease and everyone has been commenting on how brilliant you were. They are brilliant thanks."
Claire & Craig
"Thanks everyone for your lovely comments and for liking my photo. I really appreciate them. I feel however that I should thank the people who made me look as good as I did! Firstly, the lovely Lucy Gourlay from LG Make-up who along the way became a good friend. Next the amazing Keith Marshall who did my hair exactly the way I envisioned it. The wonderful Jim Mackintosh from j c macintosh photography for his fantastic photographs and last but not least the truly talented, amazing Stephnie from Stephnie-Anne Designs who made my beautiful dress and who was such a joy and fun to work with! HUGE thank you to all of you!"
Jim was fantastic to work with and made a huge effort to accommodate all of our requests. We were pretty particular about the fact that we wanted our photographs to be quite informal. Jim was very patient with us and made sure he still got some great shots, in spite of our reluctance to spend any time posing. He also managed to blend right into the wedding party, and captured some great shots of our guests (many of whom commented on what a lovely guy he was). Really couldn't recommend Jim more.

Jim photographed our wedding this summer and we couldn't be happier with the pictures as well as the warm, friendly and personal attention we received from our first meeting to the final photo DVD. Throughout the process Jim was extremely professional and helpful - both our venue manager and minister were blown away when he showed up to check out the locations before hand!! Communication between ourselves and Jim through emails, phone calls and texts were always promptly received and replied to and we always felt in the loop. Jim made us feel comfortable from the beginning involving us in his plans and listening to our ideas and thoughts. Every detail was taken care of from day one which made photographs on the day a great experience. We have had so many of our guests commenting on how great Jim was both in the quality of shots and his approach and manner. He skillfully managed 'would be photographer' guests and has captured our wedding day the way we had hoped to remember it. After the event Jim worked so hard to touch up and fix up photographs for us and we were so impressed with the speed and quality when we received our first uncut round of photographs. Jim was speedy with the final DVD draft as well keeping the same high quality and tasteful presentation throughout. We really cannot say enough good things about having Jim as our photographer, we would strongly recommend him to any and all - a pleasure from the beginning to the end.
Liz and Jack
I just wanted to say how delighted we are with the photos you took of our wedding. As a photographer myself, choosing someone to photograph the most important day of my life was never going to be easy! However I could not be more delighted with what you have produced – beautiful images of intimate and group scenes, as well as all the details of the day: the cake, the flowers, the table settings. You really managed to capture our day!
We all appreciated your relaxed approach which effectively put us all at our ease and produced more informal shots – exactly what we’d hoped for.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking for a wedding photographer – their day will be in safe hands.
Hazel and Karl
When we met with you to discuss our plans you were so enthusiastic - you had all these ideas and suggestions about how to make our pictures unique. We loved your request for pictures of our VIP guests so that you could identify how they liked to be addressed and memorise this - all to make people feel relaxed as you worked. We also appreciated you taking the time to visit the venue a few weeks beforehand - it was clear on the day when you guided us around the grounds and afterwards when we saw the photos - that you had done of lot of preparation.
On the day itself, you really excelled at getting the best from all our guests, everyone responded to your directions because they were clear, quick and delivered with humour. It’s not an exaggeration to say that it felt like a family member taking the photos, everyone remarked on your friendly persona. No one really likes getting their photo taken but when the photographer is as charismatic as you it’s a much less painful process.
The photos you took of Julia and I are superb.
You recognised that after it’s all over, it is the wedding photographs that provoke the shared memories and we look forward to sharing ours with family and friends.
Adam and Julia
I'm sure you will have seen by now but we LOVE the image you sent us. Thank you. And we can't thank you enough for yesterday, you were a star! You looked like us by the end of the day, knackered but loving it!

Peter and Serena
I would be eternally grateful if I could use your photo of me as it is far and away the best snap I've had taken in years. (To advertise Summerhall event).
John Byrne (Artist and Playwright)
This is a major breakthrough for me honestly! Can't believe no tears have fallen in this process, I'm normally so stressed out with it all. You are a bloody star I'm telling ya!
Kate Dickie (actress)
Jim pays attention to every detail and gives you great feedback, on how to improve a shot. He always makes you laugh and feel comfortable even if your nervous, always keeps the shoot fun and exciting ***** What more can you ask for.
Brilliant shoot of the band last Sunday in the Leith Area. The photos are amazing and actually make us look good (which is not easy). Nice and relaxed with some brilliant locations. Really good laugh aswell, thanks again
Barry Van Dykes
Thank you so much for the amazing photos you took on our wedding day. They were just what we wanted - natural shots of all our friends and family enjoying themselves and some great one's of the bridal party which made us so happy seeing the photos again. Brought back memories of the day. You made all our guests feel so laid back and many commented on how relaxed you made them feel even weeks after the wedding. Would have no hesitation in recommending you. Thanks for making the day so memorable.
Lyndsey & Alan Conway
Such a great guy. Kind, polite and focuses on making his subject feel at ease. Such a great eye for pictures and detail along with lighting and proportions. Enjoyed working with him every minute
Many thanks for the excellent photographs of my daughter's recent wedding. We are delighted with them. Your attention to detail, organisation, professional ability and people skills all shone through. We have a great set of photographs that are well presented and capture a fantastic day for future enjoyment. Highly recommended.
Thank you for the lovely photos. Great job in keeping the kids focussed. We've got some lovely family photos that will be framed and treasured forever.
I just wanted to say thank you very much for the images you took of my pre-wedding party. You did a fabulous job and I am very pleased with the outcome of all the images. The portable studio was a hit with everyone, with people able to have family shots, and the informal images where you were ‘capturing the moments’ were beautiful. You made everyone feel very relaxed and you even managed to get Stephen to smile for the photos! As you know, anything to do with a wedding is very important and I am glad you were there to capture the special occasion. Thank you.
Jim's superb skills and abilities with a camera are self evident, but it is the effortless and natural way he has with his subjects that sets him apart. His relaxed and easy going manner creates the perfect photographer/client atmosphere and ensures that the best possible results can be achieved. Whatever your needs, if you're looking for a photographer, you will be delighted with Jim's approach and results.
We recently booked Jim to take photographs of my two nieces (aged 5 and 2). This was the first time the kids had been photographed professionally and so we were not sure how they would be. Jim was fantastic with them and his patience and friendly manner meant both the kids felt at ease very quickly. The photos are of an extremely high quality. He has definitely captured their personalities in them. I would definitely recommend jc mackintosh photography.
Dear Jim,Thank you so much for a great photo shoot! I love the images and moments that you have captured! I am impressed by the speed at which this happened, from taking the pictures to processing them. The shoot itself I particularly enjoyed - it felt very easy. I'd definitely recommend you to my friends!! Thanks again. Agathe @ Heels over Head Dance Theatre

With late-cycle dynamics shaping market fundamentals, industry players are essentially heading into 2020 with optimistic expectations. This is not to say there aren’t any challenges worth keeping a close eye on going forward. “Interest rate trends have a large macro effect on the industry,” Kurt Stuart, JPMorgan Chase’s head of Commercial Term Lending for the Northeast region, told Multi-Housing News.
Rent legislation also plays a consequential role in investment activity, and although some short-term reactions in investor trends might result in a shift toward other property types, multifamily is still expected to outperform other asset classes in the long run.
What is the current state of the multifamily market?
Stuart: Multifamily fundamentals broadly remain healthy across most major U.S. markets. Rent growth is positive and near its long-term average of 2.5 percent, while vacancy rates remain in the mid-4 percent range, below their long-term average. Should the industry reach its estimated number of units completed in 2020, the market will have delivered 90 percent more units since 2016, compared to the first five years of the recovery.
The capital markets also continue to be robust, with healthy competition from agencies, bankers, insurance companies, debt funds and CMBS active in the space. We continue to look for opportunities to broaden our products to serve a wider array of needs across the borrowing spectrum.
One area that will continue to impact investor trends is rent legislation. The uncertainty around enacted and potentially enacted legislation has decreased investment activity materially in cities like New York. As a result, some capital will divert to other markets seen as being faster growth opportunities.
What are some of the macro trends impacting the industry and how can multifamily investors best prepare?
Stuart: Interest rate trends have a large macro effect on the industry. Expected rate increases that reversed in 2019 drove a lot of financing activity in the second half of last year. We see that activity level remaining steady through 2020.
Technology trends continue to accelerate and are impacting the broader commercial real estate industry. We see clients investing in technology to make their operations more efficient at both a business level and property level. In certain markets, technology is being utilized to provide a better experience for renters, such as smart home tech from thermostats, keyless entry as well as digitized lockers for package delivery. Landlords are using these ‘low cost’ amenities as a way to modernize their buildings and differentiate from the competition. We share this type of thinking and continue to look for ways to differentiate our service in the industry. We’re streamlining and digitizing certain experiences, helping clients save time and money.
As we inch toward the end of the cycle and with legislation directed at addressing the rising cost of housing, how can we expect the multifamily industry to react?
Stuart: Rent legislation has not risen to the level of a national discussion topic since post World War I and 2019 presented some of the most broad-based legislative changes to rental housing in decades across several markets. Despite some uncertainty, the underlying fundamentals of supply and demand for rental housing haven’t changed.
Short-term industry reactions might be a shift in investment dollars to other markets, but over a long-term horizon, we still view multifamily outperforming other asset classes. The industry could use this as an opportunity to have productive discussions with legislatures about the inherent institutional challenges that have impeded the creation of more rental housing.
Where do you see growth opportunities for real estate investors in 2020?
Stuart: Though some real estate players are investing in markets outside of places like New York City, we’re still seeing clients thinking about returns on a long-term basis in the major cities. With late-cycle dynamics at play, some investors are focusing on finding long-term opportunities in markets where there is disruption caused by short-term volatility.
We see many investors finding opportunities in their home markets or building their liquidity positions, so they can move on those opportunities as they arise. As a capital provider with a fortress balance sheet, we continue to operate with a through-the-cycle mindset, which helps us remain steadfast for commercial real estate investors and developers at any point in the cycle.

The pictures I post will usually have a verse or part of a verse from Scripture. The portions I choose mostly come from the Psalms or Proverbs since these books have many verses where the concept is complete or “stand alone”. These snippets are good for memorization and encouragement.
Generally, the historical narratives, prophecies, and letters should be read in complete sections to preserve the literary flow. It is much harder to find complete concepts in these sections but some verses may be used which “stand alone” if great care is used and the context is not violated.
The Bible reader will be best served by reading the whole of the Scripture systematically. Many reading plans are designed to cover the whole Bible in a year. This plan will help the reader see the complete view of all God has for us and provide a context for the various parts.

What to Avoid During your Home Purchase
With the thrill that comes with an accepted offer and a "yes" from the lender, many homebuyers make the error of taking their enthusiasm straight to the mall or appliance store. Keep in mind that until you get the keys, your lender is watching your finances very closely. Here are some actions to stay clear of during the home buying process to assure your transaction goes well.
Don't make expensive purchases. Although you may be listing ways to turn your new home into a showplace, try to stay away from big ticket purchases like appliances, electronics, or expensive furnishings. We also recommend that you stay away from vacations and car purchases until your loan closes. Your lender may send up red flags if you finance your furniture on your credit cards during your loan process. It's also a bad idea to make those big purchases using cash. Lenders are looking at your cash reserve when considering your loan.
Don't go on a job search. Your recent work history should show consistency. Getting a new job may not affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage loan - especially if you are going to be making more money. But in some cases, getting a new career during the mortgage approval process could raise concern and affect your approval.
Don't move cash around or switch banks. Your lender will require you to submit recent bank statements on accounts in your name: savings, checking, money market, and other assets. The lender looks for a steady flow of your money over the month, in the interest of avoiding fraud. Even for innocent purposes, transferring finances or changing banks might make it harder for the lender to verify your bank history.
Don't give your FSBO (for sale by owner) seller a "good faith" deposit, cash in hand. As a rule, your good faith deposit is yours, not the seller's until the sale is final. Although your seller may not realize this, the good faith funds must go toward the buyer's closing expenses. We recommend that you put the deposit into a trust account, or get an attorney to hold it until the closing of the sale. The purchase contract should indicate who gets the deposit if the home purchase falls through.

Moreover, this VPN doesn’t support gaming consoles like Xbox, PlayStation, or Nintendo, signifying that it is not a perfect VPN for gamers.

Rest in Peace Brother.

There’s no denying that Australia’s far away – not exactly the next stop after the corner shop! An easy 15-hour flight from Los Angeles, it can feel like a voyage into the Great Unknown after a day or two on an airplane, especially if you stop over in Bangkok, Mauritius or the Maldives (which are all gorgeous destinations in their own right).
As the continent with one of the lowest population densities in the world (about an average of three people per kilometre vs. a world average of 51.6 people per square kilometre) Australia is a tranquil, natural, beautiful place to explore. For those who go to experience and photograph the natural wonders of the world’s 6th largest country, there’s no better way to do it than from the driver’s seat of a beat-up, used car!
Some practical considerations, Bruce!
Before you set off with all the zeal of Shackleton and his companions, plot your route and check your gear. While that VW Kombi might look cool in the movies, when the Outback roads dwindle to sandy tracks you might wish you’d opted for something sturdier. Have a look at the local classifieds listings and keep an eye out for Australian classic used cars like Holden Cruze or maybe popular models in the 4WD range.
Plot your journey
Select an area or two, whether it’s the dusty Outback, breath-taking beaches, rainforests or mountains, and plot your journey. If you have more than two weeks to spend behind the wheel you can expand your route, but remember that Australia is home to the world’s longest highway (over 25,000 km around the rim of the country), which will take about nine months to drive from start to end!
Take in Oz’s Natural Wonders
There are significant natural wonders Down Under that are worth taking the trip to experience and photograph first hand. A roadtrip to the Red Centre of the country via Uluru or Ayres Rock will give you a chance to explore this famous region at your own pace, and to take in lesser-known but no-less incredible natural wonders like the domes of Kata Tjuta or the salt plains of Lake Amadeus.
Beach lovers will relish taking the Great Ocean Road, 250 kilometres along the southern coastline to the surf city of Torquay. Home to Bells Beach, which headlines the Rip Curl Pro Surf Classic every year, this is the place to be if you like watersports. Don’t miss out on Lorne, Princetown and the Twelve Apostles further along the coast though!
Are you still interested in finding out about the greatest ever Aussie road trips? Read up on road tripping in Australia from those who’ve been there, done that and got the t-shirts!

Persuasion by Jane Austen
I’m really going to miss my Jane Austen class, I’ve got to say–although I’m certainly looking forward to my young adult and children’s literature class next semester. (Why yes, my school is awesome.) While even I, chin deep in mass paperback fantasy, had heard of Mansfield Park, I had never heard of Persuasion. My only acquaintance with it was encountering the DVD of the film adaptation while poking through my local Blockbuster, trying to find a copy of Star Wars Lucas hasn’t messed with. (A Herculean task, I assure you–ancient VHS tapes are my only recourse, but I digress.) Still, it was a calming 250 pages compared to Emma, and I picked it up with relief.
Emma by Jane Austen
I first read Emma for my high school’s book club a couple years ago. It was my very first Jane Austen and I loathed it. I didn’t like Emma as a character, and the age gap between Emma and Mr. Knightley freaked me out. I kept that opinion well into this year, bemoaning the fact that I would have to reread Emma for class. But when I picked it up again, I was pleasantly surprised–something was different. I don’t know if it was me or the fact that I was reading it academically, but I really enjoyed it.
Mansfield Park by Jane Austen
Ah, Fanny Price. An Austen heroine so unpopular (well, comparatively) that Mansfield Park wasn’t even on clearance when my childhood Barnes & Noble closed up shop over the summer and that the recent film adaptation had to make her half-Jane Austen to make her appealing. She’s a difficult character, and Mansfield Park is a difficult novel. While I’m going to share my usual feelings with you, I’ll also discuss the novel a bit more academically–because whining about how much I don’t like Fanny or how, no matter how acceptable it was at the time, incest still skeeves me out isn’t going to be very interesting at all.
Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen
Of all the Austen novels, Northanger Abbey is the novel I knew the least about. In popular culture, it tends only to pop up as part of Austen’s oeuvre, and it’s the lone Austen novel that has not received a motion picture adaptation. (Okay, technically, Persuasion suffered the same fate, being a BBC television adaptation, but it was released theatrically here.) The only thing I really knew was that it was the first novel Austen started (Sense and Sensibility was the first she completed). With no preconceptions or, really, expectations, I picked up Northanger Abbey for class.
Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
This semester, I’m taking a class on Jane Austen. It’s absolutely fascinating–not only do we get to sit around and suck the very marrow out of stories, one of my favorite activities, but there’s a focus on placing Austen squarely in her historical context. Of course, for the class, we have to read her entire canon; the way it’s structured, we’re usually reading one novel while discussing another. So before the year is out, I will have read and reviewed all of Austen’s novels (but not Love and Freindship, as picking on little girls is mean). We’re already read Pride and Prejudice this semester, so I’ve just finished Sense and Sensibility.

296. The abysmal (IV)
Man has always preferred Hell to Heaven, since Heaven is a bland concept; there is very little to it as far as imagination is concerned—just infinite love, a concept that is a bit sickly to speak about and is, in fact, cheapened and destroyed if it is spoken or thought about with any frequency. Hell, on the other hand, probably the sinister left hand, provides unlimited opportunities to imagine sadistic tortures exacted on our enemies and people who have crossed us, or, alternatively, if we are in a masochistic frame of mind, to imagine ourselves tortured for all our sins of omission and commission that, at some level, we feel will eventually land us in hot water. The mind is much more at home with hot tar, skin flailed from the body, eyes gouged out, and the like than it can ever be with infinite love and understanding—it is all so much more vivid for us, presumably because, down on earth, we are closer to Hell by default.
Of course, if you think about Hell for long enough, the initial fearful thrill wears out; as with a Buddhistic exercise, all the tortures become mundane and you reach the sage view that, perhaps, Hell is best not imagined as a place with literal physical tortures and agony; no, it is, as modern vicars will venture, perpetual separation from God. The problem with this concept is that is about as bland as Heaven; it makes me imagine some galactic interstitial zone between universes, a place black without starlight where nothing happens and you feel very lonely. Frankly, this does not terrify me as much as some demon caked in human blood and excrement; and, anyway, it does not solve the problem. If you dwell on the absence of God’s love for long enough the situation becomes as banal and palatable as infinite time spent with needles inserted into the soft demi-moons beneath your fingernails.
Despite its popularity, Hell has suffered a decline in recent decades. Nietzsche was very much against Heaven and Hell, concepts he attributed to Plato and Socrates—decadent Greeks who then inspired decadent Roman Christians. Nietzsche’s views on the afterlife stand behind every contemporary atheist who says, “I don’t need some fairytale to be good, thank you. Anyway, it detracts from my good acts if I do them because I’m afraid of Hell. I have to be good for its own sake. I just want to get on and enjoy my life, you just want to imprison people with your sick stories.”
As Nietzsche noted, there is a resentful streak to people who believe in Heaven and Hell. Tertullian, an early Christian, observed that one of the pleasures of Heaven would be to look down at those being tortured in Hell. This is an ugly sentiment, though it is very recognisably human—unfortunately.
Yet the decline in Hell, still quite popular with many people even fifty years ago, can be attributed less to any intellectual revolution and more to the rise of the screen. Until the 1950s, people had radio and cinema—the former required imagination, the latter was a weekly treat—but by the 1950s the TV, then the computer, arrived. The result has been to atrophy imagination, and imagination is required if Hell is to be palpable.
If we speak about Hell today, the temptation is to Google it and then our Hell is that found in a 19th-century painting or a 1960s comic; and this destroys the delicious moralised imaginative self-torture that gives Hell its power. “Britney speaks out about drugs hell,”’ says the headline; yet this is not Hell, it is about physical pain here and now—what we have lost is Hell as a moral sanction, today little “h” hell is a metaphor for extreme discomfort. Self-torture and resentful pleasure in pain for others are unpleasant, but you have to wonder how many wicked acts were prevented and good deeds contracted thanks to Hell, the now unimaginable place.

Guinea- Conakry, Ahead of October 18th Ballots 2020, Twelve Candidates Whetted Propositions against President Alpha Conde
By Abdul Rahman Bangura–
NEW AFRICA BUSINESS NEWS (NABN) Freetown, Sierra Leone– Twelve contenders have honed overtures to challenge forthcoming elections in the French West Africa nation – Guinea against President Alpha Conde, who is pursuing a contentious third term, the constitutional court asserted on Wednesday September 9th, 2020.
The bench is forthwith, vetting the list after September 8th, 2020 midnight deadline for providing applications, its Chief of Staff – Ibrahima Sory Toure let out to the media. The forthcoming election has been taken precedence over by a bitter row over Conde’s fate. Conde, an 82-year-old two-term president, has shoved through an edited constitution that opponents say was framed to reset the term counter. Last week, he finished off months of supposition by corroborating that, he would seek a third time in office despite brawls in which dozens have been killed.
The National Front for the Defense of the Constitution (FNDC), an umbrella assemblage of parties, labor unions and civil society groups, has been campaigning against the emendation which it has vilified as a constitutional insurrection. The organization was slated to meet on Wednesday September, 9th, 2020 to agree on whether it will take part in, in the election.
Former premier and leading opposition leader Cellou Dalein Diallo, 68, has chosen to trot after picketing the March constitutional injunction. Boycotts against Conde’s speculated re-election strategy, detonated in October of 2019 thus, greeted with a ruthless crackdown, and evidently some citizens lost their existences.
Apparently, Guinea’s constitution stated that, presidents may barely administer two terms. Pundits argued that, the new constitution could reset the presidential term counter and allow him to run a third time — an argument mustered by Conde and his Rally of the Guinean People (RPG) party. Conde is an erstwhile opponent who was incarcerated under prior governments in Guinea – a country rich in minerals but inundated (with) by rooted poverty and a yore of inconstancy. Confidences of a modern political sunrise blossomed when Conde came to be Guinea’s first democratically elected president in 2010, but faultfinders mumbled, he has become increasingly autocratic.

Like how the old saying goes, prevention is always better than cure. This is particularly true when it comes to automotive care. After all, the last thing you’d want is getting stuck on Salt Lake City highway with a broken car.
As such, our experienced technicians from Jerry Lambert Automotive share five commonly ignored tips that can prevent unexpected breakdowns and expensive repairs in the future.
1. Drive your car at least once every week.
This may sound too simple, but using your car regularly is excellent for keeping it in good health. Even if you stay at home for long periods, try driving it for at least 30-60 minutes every week. If you leave it sitting in the garage for a while, the battery may get fully drained, and automotive fluids might dry up.
You may also notice vibrations and clunking sounds from under the hood when first using your car after a while. If you experience these symptoms, call our auto repair and service specialists in Salt Lake City right away. Forcing it to run in this condition can potentially damage your engine block.
2. Keep an eye on your radiator coolant.
You should schedule a radiator flush with our shop in Salt Lake City every 100,000 miles or five years. Our techs cannot stress this tip enough, especially for a place like Utah with hot summers.
If you delay your repair and service appointment, the coolant will gradually become more acidic. This may corrode parts of your radiator and increase the risks of overheating. Moreover, it can damage your head gasket and warp seals around the engine.
3. Check the wiper blades of your vehicle often.
Wipers may seem unimposing, but they have a significant impact on your driving and overall safety. Wiper blades generally need replacement at least once a year. This is particularly important for preparing your vehicle for frosty winters.
During cold months, snow may harden the rubber and cause the wipers to leave patches on the glass. Just visit our auto repair shop in Salt Lake City when this happens, and our service specialists will eagerly assist you. Wiper blades can also stick to the windshield when left in the cold for too long. You can spray them with rubbing alcohol to help melt the ice and lift them off the glass.
4. Maintain the correct tire pressure and check for tire tread wear.
Keeping the factory-recommended tire pressure can reduce the strain on your vehicle and improve gas mileage. On average, this is around 40 PSI for trucks and 32-36 PSI for most cars. Just note that it may vary depending on the make and model, so refer to the manual from your dealer.
Similarly, you should visually inspect your tire treads at least once a month. If they are less than 1/8 of an inch deep, you need a tire replacement ASAP since this directly affects your safety. Our auto repair and service shop in Salt Lake City offers this service and an expansive inventory of high-quality tires. We also perform wheel alignment and tire rotation to prevent rapid or uneven tire wear.
5. Drive with care along Salt Lake City roads every day.
Good driving habits can benefit the longevity and reliability of your vehicle. For instance, you should not race the engine during start-up. Moreover, you should gently accelerate when you begin your drive. According to experts, the most wear to the drivetrain and automotive engine occurs during the first few minutes of operation.
Additionally, you should observe posted speed limits and avoid fast turns and stops. Roads in Utah are generally well-maintained, but keeping an eye on the occasional pothole won’t hurt. Do away from slamming on the brakes, and come to a complete stop before reversing.
Auto Repair and Service in Salt Lake City, UT
Follow these tips, and don’t ignore seemingly minor issues with your vehicle to keep it reliable for many years to come. And for all your auto repair and service needs, just call Jerry Lambert Automotive. Our automotive shop in Utah is an authorized NAPA center and home to friendly ASE-certified mechanics.
You can sit back and rest assured that we will take care of your vehicle like it’s our own. Make an appointment online or visit our auto repair facility at 398 E 3300 S, Salt Lake City, UT 84115.

Ever wondered how you recognise so many different odours and all accurately? It may be because of certain underlying chemical processes. Even biologists were unable to understand how humans could perceive and distinguish different smells. Now, they have discovered a chemical strategy that the mammalian nose employs to detect chemicals known as aldehydes.
CCNY Associate Professor of Chemistry Kevin Ryan and Columbia biologist Stuart Firestein lead a team which states that our nose has many aldehyde receptors which may not determine the aldehyde directly by its structure and shape. When the aldehyde enters our nose and reacts with water there, it undergoes a chemical reaction which helps the nose to recognise it.
Our nose consists of odorant receptors which are a large family of cell membrane proteins that supervise inhaled air on neurons within the nose. On the other hand, aldehydes are fresh-smelling chemicals, synthetic variety of which is significant to the flavour and fragrance industry. Natural aldehydes are found in sources like herbs, flowers and fruits.
Also read : Amazing Facts about your Nose
"Once exposed to air, aldehydes have a limited lifetime as oxygen slowly converts them into less savoury, even malodorous chemicals," said Professor Ryan. "It's not surprising then that the nose is adept at detecting aldehydes, and distinguishing them from structurally similar chemical groups."
The team discovered that some receptors in the nose identify the aldehyde’s chemical reactivity and not its built-in shape. This reactivity tells the nose that there are aldehydes present in the air. In our experiments, some of the many odorant receptors that detected the eight-carbon aldehyde octanal recognized the aldehyde portion of the molecule by its ability to morph into a completely different chemical group, known as a gem-diol," he added. "Since this reaction is unique to aldehydes, it serves as a means to discriminate them from similarly shaped chemical groups."
The study also involved researchers from Duke University and Hebrew University in Israel and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory and Office funded it. The study is published in the journal ACS Chemical Biology.

She broke her back for “Men in Black.”
Brooklyn model Danika Gerner, 23, donned a 30-pound sheet-metal dress and 6-inch heels to play an alien from the planet Glamoura during filming of “MIB 3” in Manhattan last year.
Gerner claims the intergalactic get-up caused her to suffer a herniated disc and nerve damage, halting a promising career that she hoped would include Victoria’s Secret and the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue.
“I had to give up everything,” the 6-foot-2 beauty told The Post.
Gerner graced Allure and Glamour magazines, modeled for products like Olay , and had bit parts in “Ugly Betty” and “Sex and the City 2” before taking the nonspeaking role in the Will Smith flick.
For the scenes, filmed in a SoHo loft, she was outfitted with a giant suit of armor. Underneath, she wore only two metal bands fastened with Velcro. She balanced on spiked heels under hot lights.
In a 12-hour shift, she wore the costume all but three hours, five days in a row. She had to sashay on a runway or remain motionless, along with two shorter models in lighter costumes.
“I complained about my back hurting and asked the wardrobe people if I could take the costume off” between takes, she said. “They kept saying, ‘No, not yet, because you’re in the background of every shot.’ ”
Afterward, she felt so sore she could not accept new gigs assigned by Wilhelmina Models, which had booked her “MIB 3” job. Within a month, the agency dropped her.
“Unfortunately, this e-mail is to inform you that we are releasing you from your freelance agreement here at Wilhelmina,” it read. “It doesn’t seem to be working out. Best of luck in your future endeavors.”
Her pay came to $4,578 after taxes and Wilhelmina’s 20 percent cut.
Gerner said she tried chiropractors, massage and medication, but nothing eased the excruciating pain.
“I woke up one day and couldn’t walk. I called my parents, crying and screaming.”
An MRI confirmed a large herniated disc pressing on her nerve. She underwent a laminectomy to remove part of the vertebral bone.
“This wasn’t an instantaneous break,” said one of her lawyers, Tim Yusuf. “This actress’ back was broken slowly, with constant pressure, over the course of a week.”
Before MIB 3, Gerner played tennis competitively, and baseball, golf, and basketball for fun. “Sports and fitness was a huge part of my life.”
Now she can’t do any jumping or twisting that would jar her spine. “I can shoot hoops, but I can’t play the game.” No more flag football or “Insanity” workouts.
She’s paying off $30,000 for the surgery and other treatment.
To make ends meet, she now works as a certified personal trainer and deejay. “I had to switch everything up,” Gerner said.
Gerner is suing Columbia Pictures and Amblin Entertainment in Brooklyn Supreme Court, seeking unspecified damages.
“There are too many examples of Hollywood taking advantage of young, enthusiastic actors like Danika,” said her New York lawyer, Arkady Frekhtman. “They work grueling hours for little pay. They should not have to compromise their safety as well.”
A spokesman for Sony Pictures Entertainment, Columbia’s parent company, declined to comment, saying it had not seen the suit.

If you are looking to create a luxurious, boutique look in your home, it could not be simpler. One of the easiest ways to achieve this designer look is to layer soft furnishings using rugs and accessories.
A designer look is really easy to achieve if you keep one thing in mind – stick to three main colours. Find colours which work beautifully together like grey, blue and white to create a sophisticated finish which looks perfectly pulled together. The Kingsize Luxurious Octo Natural Sheepskin Rug will create a wonderfully cosy look and would look beautifully indulgent paired with a grey velvet sofa like our Birley Crushed Velvet Chesterfield Sofa.
But sticking to a colour scheme doesn’t have to be neutral either. Combining beautiful vibrant colours like pinks and oranges would also look simply divine. Add a strong colourful rug, and match with throws and cushions. The Louis De Poortere Fading World Rug in Scarlet features the most stunning pink background and has been beautifully distressed for a luxe, vintage inspired finish.
When it comes to decorating, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. First of all, if you’re not sure quite the look you’re going for, browse through interior magazines or websites to gain inspiration and decide what designer styles you love, and those you don’t. In addition, one of my top tips would be to take your time when finding décor pieces. Taking your time will ensure you find the perfect accessories that you’ll get enjoyment from them for longer. It will also create a sophisticated coordinated finish.
To view the full collection of luxurious furnishings at Modish Living, take a look at our website or get in touch with one of our team.

|2017 World Snooker Championship|
|Venue: The Crucible Theatre, Sheffield Dates: 15 April - 1 May|
|Coverage: Live on BBC TV, BBC Red Button, Connected TVs and online.|
Defending champion Mark Selby reached the second round of the World Championship by thrashing Fergal O'Brien 10-2 at the Crucible Theatre.
Leicester's Selby, who beat Ding Junhui in last year's final, looked on course for a whitewash by going 8-0 ahead.
Irishman O'Brien claimed the ninth and 11th to avoid becoming only the second player to exit without winning a frame, but Selby wrapped up the match.
He will face either Wales' Ryan Day or China's Xiao Guodong in the next round.
Superb Selby sails on
Selby has enjoyed a stellar season - claiming four ranking titles, including this month's China Open, though no player has followed that by winning the world title in the same season.
The world number one made top breaks of 92, 77 and 66 as he began his attempt to win his third title at the Sheffield venue, which is holding the event for a 40th year.
"I'm very happy to get through and happy with the scoreline but my performance could have been better," Selby said. "I was not killing enough frames off in the first visit and would have liked to have capitalised on them.
"I would like to win every tournament I play in. I am confident and I am playing well enough.
"Even if I don't play well, I have a never-say-die attitude and you have to scrape me off the table.
"I was gutted not to go 9-0 because I know the history that there has only been one whitewash here. I was devastated to go in after the first session at 8-1."
Having made light work of O'Brien, Selby has almost a week off, returning to action next Saturday.
Dubliner O'Brien came through qualifying by beating David Gilbert in a final-frame decider - the longest frame in snooker history, timed at two hours, three minutes and 41 seconds.
But he struggled badly in the first-round encounter, managing a high break of just 32, although he avoided the ignominy of joining Eddie Charlton - who lost 10-0 to John Parrott in 1992 - as the only players not to win a frame at the championship.
He has now lost six successive meetings against Selby, claiming just four frames in a run stretching back to 2006.
"When I won my first frame, it was good because the crowd were so supportive and willing me not to get the whitewash," said O'Brien.
In an all-Scottish tie, qualifier Stephen Maguire claimed eight frames in a row to trounce Anthony McGill 10-2.
Maguire, who has won five ranking titles, has fallen to 24th in the world but was in good scoring form, compiling breaks of 97, 66 and 60 to go through.
Meanwhile, five-time champion Ronnie O'Sullivan was pegged back to a 5-4 lead over debutant Gary Wilson.
Former taxi driver Wilson fell 5-1 behind but took the last three frames of the session, including the ninth having needed snookers.
On the other table, Kyren Wilson leads 5-4 against Crucible first-timer David Grace.

Kris Guilty and Francis Latreille (aka Francis Oak), are perhaps two of the most venerable selectors that have come out of the Montreal scene in recent years.
Kris has been throwing killer parties in the city for a while now, and with his most recent All Good series, seems to be hitting his stride. Same goes for Latreille who has been holding down a residency at Bleury Bar for some time now, his nights playing host to some of the best names in underground house, disco, and everything in between.
Both are purveyors of the vinyl flavour, so it only makes sense to pair these two together for our Day Play with Rick Wilhite, as well as in contributing to our Six Picks feature. Enjoy !

States of Mind
Saturday 16 October, 8.30pm
Visually impaired Shakespearean director Christopher Hunter penetrated the dark heart of Shakespeare’s sensationally successful poem Venus and Adonis to create States of Mind, produced by Extant.
Written during a plague epidemic that shut London’s theatres, the extraordinary poem Venus and Adonis was Shakespeare’s first published work and an instant bestseller. Whilst the poem is known primarily for its erotic subject matter, it has theatre at its heart with rich detailed characterisations, vivid imagery and psychological truth. The visual language and youthful vibrancy of the poetry make it an exhilarating and accessible ride. But the romanticism of the riveting narrative conceals disturbing themes of desire, rejection, sexual power, resistance and love.
The original poem provides the inspiration for a compelling exploration of erotic power in States of Mind – Hunter’s play retains all the richness of Shakespeare’s language as it examines the poem through a 21st century lens. The play relocates Shakespeare’s poetry into the clinical setting of an institutional room to explore the darker themes that lie beneath the poem’s erotic veneer. The focus of the play is its two characters, and the issues surrounding their attempts to escape a cycle of coercion, lust and love that they find themselves trapped in. By transforming the story into a highly charged contemporary setting, it reveals how this early work of Shakespeare’s could have been written for audiences today.
Christopher Hunter comments, “Venus and Adonis itself is 1196 lines in length, and the entire poem revolves around a single sexual encounter and its aftermath. I became fascinated with the detail and the psychological complexity that Shakespeare used to depict this event, which is wrapped up inside a fairly simple narrative…I found that, by discarding this narrative, a host of possibilities opened up whereby the poem’s internal narrative could be explored, and this became far more interesting.”
Extant’s cast of visually impaired actors took the words of the world’s most visual dramatist to demonstrate how a vivid physical and emotional landscape can be created through the power of language. Also by delivering integrated audio description through the theatricality of a medical observation room, this feature of the production – though primarily for a visually impaired audience –was designed to include sighted members to enhance their own enjoyment of the piece.
Gillian Dean (Crystal Clear, Old Red Lion; Home Fires, ITV) and Robin Paley Yorke (My Darling Christopher, Hot Coals) were cast in the premiere of States of Mind.

We’ve covered the differences between THC and CBD a few times in these pages, but there’s a question we are yet to cover, does CBD smell like weed?
It’s a simple question, but one we are asked often, especially considering the dry flower strains we have such as Purple Haze, which has a specific smell expected to come alongside the name.
There’s a few reasons why you could be curious about this, but whether you want to know so you can enjoy the smell yourself, or you’re worried that a notable scent usually specific to something else may get you some unwanted attention, we’re here to help and to give you an answer.
The answer to the question is not straightforward, however (when are they, really?) so to get there, we have to make a few stops.
When it comes to THC heavy cannabis, the scent of a strain, along with the flavour, depends heavily (but not exclusively, we’ll get to that) on the terpene profile.
Purple Haze cannabis, for example, is heavy in caryophyllene, which gives that well known peppery, spicy scent, and myrcene, which provides that famed herbal aroma recognisable in most marijuana strains.
With the CBD version of Purple Haze, the terpene profile cannot be identical, but we make sure it’s as near as dammit.
Basically, our priority in the cultivation of CBD strains is to ensure that the CBD count is where we claim it to be, and that the trace THC levels stay within the limitations set out for us by EU law.
So while CBD Purple Haze you buy from us may not smell identical to the Purple Haze strain you may be familiar with (we’re not here to judge) it is certainly close enough to be recognisable, and you can rest assured it’s a lovely, spicy, relaxing scent.
Stable genetics are the other important factor when it comes to CBD smelling like its THC heavy counterparts, with the possibility for differences in phenotypes, but we try and avoid that.
The higher the rate of stabilisation, the less difference there is in genome expression, and therefore the more similarity there is in the scent.
Other factors can be at play too, down to even the soil where the particular strain is grown, so essentially, it’s impossible to create a CBD Purple Haze strain that smells exactly like a comparative THC heavy marijuana strain.
The only way you could hypothetically get an identical aroma is with the use of chemicals, and if you know anything about us, you know that is really not our way and not anything we are ever going to do.
Does CBD Smell Good?
Now here’s a question with a straighter answer, and let’s face it, it’s the more important question. Whether the scent is similar to something you know or not, what you want to know is that the strain ahs a nice smell, and that we can guarantee.
While Purple Haze, which has been our example up to this point, has a genetic profile similar to the other Purple Haze, and therefore has a tasty smell that is similar to its psychoactive cousin, we have other strains that have been designed uniquely by us, not based on other strains, and put together to create an amazing smell all of their own.
This Summer Mix, for example, is as lovely to smell as it is beautiful to look at. The aromatic profile is sensational, creating a fresh, summery vibe with more than a scent of pine and a little touch of citrus on the nostrils to create a refreshing blend of fabulous aromas.
All our dry flower products, and indeed any other CBD products you get from us, will always smell beautiful, because we’re people who are very fond of sensual pleasures, we like our sinuses to be softly stroked by the sweetest of scents, and we know you do too.
That’s why anything that we produce, we smell test, to check it makes us feel sublime, and to ensure it will make you feel much the same way!
What’s your favourite smelling CBD product from our collection? What would the perfect scent for a CBD product to have be for you personally? Let us know in the comments, and if we like the idea, we might see if we can find a way to create it for you!

Olympia Family Restaurant is described as a Modern American restaurant. They are located at 3312 Niagara Falls Blvd North Tonawanda, NY 14120. This is a popular local restaurant that is well known for their Greek dishes but they also offer a large menu with a variety of items to choose from.
Olympia Family Restaurant is located on the very busy Niagara Falls Boulevard. As a mom, I have reservations about restaurants located on busy streets like this one, however, it is a perfect location for tourists and other locals. Location aside, the parking lot is sufficient, clean, and accommodating. The steps were safe and the foyer was clean, though small. The decor of the restaurant was in keeping with the Greek theme. Olympia Family Restaurant seemed to abide by the current Covid-19 restaurant rules and regulations.
Upon arrival at the restaurant, we were rudely greeted by the hostess. She informed us that our party of four adults and my three-year-old son was not able to sit due to the covid-19 restrictions limiting four people to a table. We were there to celebrate my grandmother’s one year of being breast cancer-free and this did nothing to change the mood of the hostess. We then asked if we could separate our party and sit at two different tables. The hostess then informed us that we would be separated and not seated near each other. Out of desperation, we accepted that offer. My father ended up seated alone in a different section of the restaurant.
After we were sat our waitress came to take our drink orders. She was also exceptionally rude. Did not bother to smile at us even through her mask. She took our orders and brought our orders as her job title of waitress requires her to but outside of that, she did nothing to show us that her personality or mood went anywhere beyond that of a wet mop.
The menu and the food is the best part of this restaurant and while you might think that it is the most important aspect of the restaurant business it wasn’t out of this world impeccable to make us ignore the various levels of rude staff we encountered.
- Souvlaki breakfast
- Eggs with various sides
- Skillet meals
- Breakfast sandwiches
- Steak and eggs
- And their eggs benedict which is served until 2 pm
They offer several Greek dishes including:
- Mediterranean Hummus
- Open souvlaki salads
- Chicken souvlaki sub
- Gyro panini
Olympia also offers a wine selection and a variety of desserts including a baklava cheesecake.
The Open Chicken Souvlaki salad
My father ordered this salad. This salad comes with grilled chicken though it would be made with beef or gyro in substitution of chicken. In addition to the grilled chicken, it also comes with a Greek salad and grilled pita bread.
My father said it was very good. The salad was fresh and flavorful. The chicken was grilled but not dried out.
The Beef on Weck
My grandmother ordered the Beef on Weck. This popular Western New York sandwich is made with slow-roasted Angus beef slices on a fresh Kimmel Wick roll and a side of au jus for dipping.
My grandmother said the sandwich tasted good though she found it dry and definitely needed the au jus to dip it in. While she seemed to like it, she said it was not the best she had ever had, so if you choose to try Olympia I would steer you away from this particular sandwich.
The Artichoke Chicken Panini
The Reuben Sandwich Melt
My final review
I would not recommend this restaurant. There are far better restaurants in the area that not only have better food but they hire staff that will at least smile and be polite rather than rude and moody.

He also led SAGE’s initial ventures into OA publishing almost 15 years ago, and was a founding board member of the Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA) in 2008.
He now holds a senior leadership position at SAGE Publishing as Vice President for Open Research. As well as building a portfolio of OA journals, this includes responsibility for the development of new systems and processes required by the move away from legacy publishing models. He also leads SAGE’s open research policy initiatives, interacting at a high level with funders, policy makers and university leaders.
The academic publishing industry is transforming rapidly, albeit unevenly by discipline and geography. Business models are changing and in order to stay relevant we must adapt and engage with multiple stakeholders, forming broader strategic alliances than we have in the past. The STM Association is uniquely placed to support that change and David would be honoured to be able to use the skills and experience he has garnered throughout his career to assist in that mission.

We always believe that your time and effort our kids are investing in their academics is underneath the needed level. We’d always condemn their television hrs and hardly understand the time they give towards their studies. Through an A grade isn’t as much appreciated as obtaining a C grade is belittled.
Due to this type of culture being drilled into the brain, we glance for different ways to enhance their academic performance. Regrettably, another ways aren’t as ‘greener’ because the morning school timings, but this is a quick flash about what they’re.
You will get your son or daughter signed up for a personal tuition center, which can be owned, by among the ex-principals or upon the market teachers. The non-public coaching school listing of where you live might be acquired through the area mind office, so that you can determine which school fits the needs of the child better. Usually, private tuition centers would be the places where one can minimally monitor those activities of the child. The charge of the tutor can also be great, so you might like to rule this method out. Nobody guarantees improvement within the grades of the kids, which means you must invest some hrs after school which help them complete their homework over time.
If you’re well experienced within the subjects that the child is their studies at school, you will possibly not even may need to look in the ‘greener’ other part from the fence. You are able to tutor your son or daughter in the perfect way. It is because you, as parent, be aware of capacity of the child.
Does Your Son Or Daughter Actually Need Extra Tuition?
If you’re still going to enhance the grades of the children and also to guarantee a greater degree of success, home tuition may be the the second best option. Having your child an additional tuition for this will improve his performance in class. However, to secure the money it will cost for that tuition makes it worth while, you need to look for a teacher who are able to easily create a close relationship together with your child. Make certain that you simply assess not only their experience and skills, but their attitude too. Being a parent, you usually would like your child to stay in good hands, right?
Role of Internet in Supplying Home Tuition:
If you’re planning to select online home tuition supplied by online tutors, you have to be more careful. There are several who might play a fraud for you too, so you ought to be on guard. However, before exercise, you need to know that having to pay a tuition won’t always enhance the academic performance of the children. Extra coaching sessions can mark the progress of a kid since the component of levels of competition are absent at night schools, whereby the motivation mainly is based on lucrative business of having greater charges from students.
Create a proper survey and get from individuals your locality who’ve been delivering their kids to coaching schools, before you decide to convince you to obtain the right coaching center for the child. You need to believe that progress includes some chance cost.
With the competition ever increasing in all spheres of life, you may not have any other option than to look for ways to excel in your studies. If you do not wish to be left behind, you should look forward to joining a level chemistry tuition classes.

From electric vehicles to career consulting services, 2021 was a year of significant growth and change for a variety of industries and their customers. By analyzing first-party audience data from our premium publisher partners within our next-gen DMP, Audigent identified the biggest shifts in consumer in-market shopping patterns over the past year.

Last week in tech: Underground tunnels, sad Facebook execs, and Black Friday prep
Black Friday is almost here. Read this in your tent while you wait for the doorbusters.
The days before Thanksgiving are always a struggle. You want to work hard and make sure you’re caught up on professional obligations so you can go into your annual ritual of gorging and splurging stress-free. At the same time, however, the lure of those Black Friday ads makes it all too easy to spend three hours searching deals for the best price on a new panini press. Luckily, we’re here with our weekly news round-up to catch you up on everything you missed in the tech world while you were arguing online with someone about whether fresh cranberry sauce is better than the canned stuff. (Editor’s note: It’s not).
Get the right TV this Black Friday
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are holidays basically dedicated to buying giant TVs at cheap prices. But, if you don’t know what you’re looking at, you can end up with 55-inches of blurry, washed-out garbage instead of the set of your dreams. Here’s a guide on how to pick the right TV. Remember, you’ll be watching the series finale of Game of Thrones on this thing, so take it seriously.
Google released some data about Thanksgiving crowds
With more than a billion people feeding it location data, Google Maps can watch our collective suffering as we shuffle about the country—and world—for various holidays. The company took what it learned in 2017 and made some handy infographics to show just how much of pain it is to go anywhere in the U.S. on the days surrounding Thanksgiving. Pro tip: Go to the liquor store first and then the bakery later (as long as they’re open) to dodge the crowds.
The HomePod is a more interesting product when it’s $250
Best Buy is dropping the price of Apple’s oft-neglected smart speaker, the HomePod, to just $250 on Black Friday. That’s a full $100 cheaper than its typical retail price and enough of a discount to make it worth considering if you’re already using Apple Music and you don’t really need a ton of smart assistant functionality.
The Boring Company finished digging a tunnel
Elon Musk’s very big mechanical earthworm chewed its way to the end of the Boring Company’s tunnel in LA. The two-mile tube has been in the works for about a year and is expected to make Santa’s job delivering toys to kids in LA a lot easier this year. It’s like a sideways chimney.
The glucose-sensing contact lens is on permanent hold
A company within Google has been working on a contact lens that can sense the level of glucose in a wearer’s blood to help diabetics monitor important medical information in real time. The lens has been in the works since at least 2014, but now the company has announced that it’s putting that work on hold. The company still plans to work on solutions for diabetics, but the dream of a simple contact that monitors glucose with tears instead of blood is dead, at least for now
Amazon got the gift of data from its HQ2 search
This will be a big week for Amazon as people load up their digital shopping carts and dump their paychecks into the great hot tub of online commerce, but last week may have been even bigger for the online shopping behemoth. And while Amazon’s HQ2 choices of New York and northern Virginia (basically D.C.) weren’t very surprising, they did leave the company with piles of crucial data about other possible expansion sites.
Here’s what it looks like to bend an iPad Pro like a taco
Breaking an expensive gadget is the stuff of nightmares, but testing a device’s durability is important. YouTube channel JerryRigEverything snapped a pricy slab of glass and aluminum to see how well it stands up to pressure.
The New York Times published its massive Facebook investigation
You may not have time to read all of the NYT‘s huge Facebook report, but it’s worth saving for when you have some holiday downtime. It takes a hard look at how Facebook and its executives handled crises, including the discovery that Russian-linked activity had attempted to sway the presidential election. You can also read the shorter, bullet-pointed version if you don’t have time between turkey sandwiches.

Any delays should be communicated to you in advance by the car shipping firm. If you require a specific date to pick up the automobile, most car shipping companies will pick it up for you and store it in a secure facility for an additional price.

Here’s another blast from the past. Nearly 10 years ago, I interviewed Bill Shapiro about “Cyprus Avenue,” a staple of Kansas City public radio. The past decade has been kind to Shapiro. He celebrated both the 25th and 30th anniversaries of the show and launched the great concert series “Cypress Avenue: Live at the Folly,” which has brought Jerry Lee Lewis, Bettye LaVette, Madeleine Peyroux, Los Lobos, Sly and Robbie and other great acts to town. His show producer at the time, Robert Moore, has since started the fantastic “Sonic Spectrum” radio show and founded OxBlood Records.
If you don’t listen to either “Cyprus Avenue” or “Sonic Spectrum,” you are missing out. “Spectrum” podcasts are archived by Present Magazine, and while the only way to catch “Cyprus Avenue” is to turn your dial to 89.3 FM from noon to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, this feature will bring you up to speed.

With new drones hitting the market all the time – among them ultra-portable offerings such as DJI’s Mavic and GoPro’s Karma – you can bet we’re going to see an uptick in sales of the remotely controlled flying machine in the run up to Christmas.
But depending on where you live, getting the thing off the ground isn’t always as straightforward as you might think. While the authorities in some countries discourage owners from launching their machines in urban areas or over crowded places for safety reasons, the Swedish powers-that-be appear to be focusing more on another issue that we don’t tend to hear so much about when it comes to quadcopters: privacy.
On Friday, the country’s highest court made it a whole lot harder for drone enthusiasts to fly their copters in public places after it ruled that they are no different to security cameras. It means owners with cameras on their copters now need to acquire a permit before they can fly their machine.
The ruling by the Scandinavian country’s Supreme Administrative Court overturns a decision last year made by a lower district court that said camera-equipped unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) should not be classified as surveillance devices.
In case you’re wondering where that places cars’ dash cams and cyclists’ helmet cams, well, they’re in the clear because those devices are operated in the immediate proximity of the user.
So now, whether you’re a UAV-owning Swedish citizen, or visiting the land of the midnight sun hoping to grab some dramatic shots with your quadcopter, you’ll now need to spend a few bucks on applying to county administrators for a surveillance camera permit. Though even then, there’s no guarantee they’ll grant it.
Initial reaction to the ruling from drone enthusiasts on a DJI forum was, understandably, one of disbelief and disappointment. One said it had “robbed” them of their hobby, while someone else suggested the government had “a serious hang-up about surveillance cameras.”
Another, however, seemed less concerned, questioning how the law could be effectively enforced.
One Swedish-based poster on the forum said simply that the ruling “makes no sense,” adding that “the people on the court must have been drunk or something.”

I followed him to go into the house.
这种说法是不可以的。应改成I followed him into the house。

- The boy chased his playmate around the block.那个男孩绕着街区追逐他的玩伴。
- He is the man who chased after woman all his life.他就是那个一生都在追求女人的男子。
- follow, ensue, succeed, supervene
- 这四个词都有“接着发生”的意思。它们的区别是:ensue指具有因果关系的事物连续发生; follow指事物按照时间顺序、逻辑关系连续发生; succeed强调相似的人或事物、事件按一定的顺序不间断的接踵而至,尤指时间或空间上的连续; supervene指意外的发生。例如:
- After the heavy rains, floods ensued.暴雨之后发生了水灾。
- A silence succeeded his words.他说完话后是一阵的沉默。
- The meeting went on until lack of time supervened.会议因时间不足而结束。
误 I shall follow behind him to the station.

Critical Air in Casualty Care
Portable oxygen technology is now easier than ever to carry around on the battlefield. The SAROS Battlefield Oxygen System is a newly acquired device in the U.S. Army’s arsenal of life-sustaining equipment in combat.
The U.S. Army Medical Materiel Agency (USAMMA), a subordinate command of the Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (MRMC) will soon begin fielding a new, 12-pound portable oxygen generator that will drastically reduce logistical issues related to oxygen supply for patient care in the field. A recent partnering between ADS, Inc. with Panakeia, LLC and Chart Industries, resulted in a 4-year indefinite delivery / indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract for 7,000 SAROS Battlefield Oxygen Systems.
USAMMA is expected to field the generators in its kits, such as air and ground ambulance, unit assemblages provided for forward surgical teams, EMT/trauma, pre-op and intensive care ward/post-op. The SAROS will augment the ‘D’ cylinder for patient care and transport, providing a continuous supply of oxygen for non-critical patients using rechargeable batteries or standard electrical power.
“Instead of lugging around 10 cylinders weighing nine pounds each, a medic now has a 12-pound device, which runs on a rechargeable battery and can produce three liters of 93 percent oxygen per minute,” said Maj. Norland James, assistant program manager of health care technologies at the USAMMA. “This is going to save the government countless dollars and reduce the giant logistical footprint that we have when it comes to patient care oxygen in the field.”
Besides its low weight, 30 percent lighter than a comparable commercial device, the generator also maintains the shape of a traditional cylinder. Most commercial oxygen generators are box-shaped. However, the Army required this device to fit where any regular cylinder would go on a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle or Humvee. This allows it to secure into the existing oxygen storage racks of Army evacuation vehicles.
Capability through Cooperation
The SAROS Battlefield Oxygen System was developed under a cooperative agreement between SeQual Technologies and USAMMA to address the logistical and safety challenges associated with high pressure oxygen cylinders in an effort to provide medical grade oxygen far-forward on the battlefield. SAROS provides a safe, lightweight, reusable and rugged solution that meets the rigors of the battlefield and medical evacuations. Since 2012, SAROS has been used by Special Operations Teams around the world, customizing kits with the SAROS to meet the demands of their missions and to save lives.
SAROS is not the first portable oxygen system to be deployed by the Army. In 2002, MRMC partnered with SeQual to develop a 10-pound system. Technology at the time allowed an 18-pound device, The Eclipse® Oxygen System, designed for patients with COPD in the commercial markets.
In 2008, the Army started deploying a ruggedized version of the Eclipse in their ground ambulances following an oxygen cylinder explosion inside an MRAP vehicle. The explosion injured multiple soldiers and destroyed the vehicle. USAMMA continued the developmental efforts with SeQual Industries to make a lighter, equally robust product that would fit in the “D” cylinder racks of the ground ambulances. The culmination of the project became the SAROS Battlefield Oxygen Generator.

YOUR SIGN AND TAXES
By Kim McGrigg (Libra)
Money Management International
Does your Date of Birth impact your 1040?
"What's your sign?" is not a question you typically expect to hear from your accountant. Yet according to a recent survey by Money Management International (MMI), tax time can be very different for consumers born under different sun signs.
For example, the MMI survey found that Libras expecting a refund, plan to receive an average refund of $2,200, while Aries are expecting a significant $800 less.
So, if you are like the 70 million Americans who start the day off by reading their horoscope, you may want to look to the stars for insight on what’s in store for your financial future, particularly as tax day approaches.
Some of MMI's sign-specific findings include:
Aries (March 21-April 20) Those born under this Fire sign expect the smallest refunds ($1,400). They plan to save (46%) or pay debts (32%).
Taurus (April 21-May 21) Taurus is an Earth sign, associated with practicality. Those born under this sign are the least likely to expect a refund. Of consumers who expect to receive a refund, only 6% were born under this sign.
Gemini (May 22-June 21) Generally known to be logical, Gemini are the most likely to over-withhold on purpose.
Cancer (June 22-July 23) Protective Cancers are not likely to splurge with their refunds. Of those consumers who plan to splurge, less than 1% were born under this Water sign.
Leo (July 24-August 23) Generous Leos are more likely than those born under most other signs to spend their refunds. Of those who plan to splurge, nearly 20% are Leos.
Virgo (August 24-September 23) Practical Virgos are still deciding how to spend their expected tax refunds. In fact, more Virgos than those born under any other sign were “undecided?? about what to do with their refunds (14%).
Libra (September 24-October 23) Known for balance, Libras surprisingly expect the largest refunds (an average of $2,200).
Scorpio (October 24-November 22) Scorpios are characterized as being passionate. Of those who plan to splurge with their tax refund, one out of four is a Scorpio.
Sagittarius (November 23-December 21) Sagittarians are known for being optimistic and are not likely to save their refunds. In fact, of those who plan to save, only 5% were born under this sign.
Capricorn (December 22-January 20) Earth signs, like Capricorn, are associated with practicality. Appropriately, Capricorns are not likely to splurge with their refunds. In fact, of those who plan to splurge, less than 1% are Capricorns.
Aquarius (January 21-February 19) Aquarius is an Air sign, associated with thought and perspective. Fifty-eight percent of surveyed Aquarians expecting a refund plan to use it to pay down debts.
Pisces (February 20-March 20) Idealistic Pisces are the least likely to save. In fact, of all those who plan to save, less than 5% are Pisces.
The MMI tax refund survey was conducted by phone in February 2007 by Knowledge-Based Marketing. There were a total of 1,048 respondents. Results were weighted by demographics so they are representative of the US population as a whole.

This is to a certain guy in Jenkins: You pulled a lot of time the way you treated your mother and now you are at it again. Are you willing to do more time for the drug selling you are starting back up in Jenkins? You better start thinking about this, old buddy, and you better think hard.
I think anyone that cares about our environment should stop buying gas at BP until they get these wetlands cleaned up. They are killing our wildlife and are taking people’s livelihood and they’re dragging their feet about getting it cleaned up. So I say don’t buy BP until this mess is cleaned up. Thank you.

To be such a liar in Speak Your Piece, you should be ashamed of yourself to go to church and act like you are somebody. Yeah right.
Yes, this is to the young man that is looking for someone to cuddle with since his old one broke up with him. Why don’t you go off to San Francisco? You can find anyone you want to out there to cuddle with. Your mom went up there but she came back. You can find anyone you want to out there to cuddle with and do whatever you boys do together and enjoy yourselves and have a good time.
I wish to God they would get mail carriers at Cornettsville that could deliver mail to the right boxes. I have had three people bring mail to me that I didn’t get and I have ended up with four or five diff erent pieces of mail that are not even mine that goes to somewhere else. If they can’t do their job, they need to let someone else do it. If they don’t know the route or the box numbers, which mine is clearly marked on my box, they need to find someone else who can.
To all you people out there criticizing BP over the oil spill: It is easy for you to sit around and criticize this deal when you don’t have a clue what you are talking about. First of all, the reason they are having trouble with the spill is it is because they are in such deep waters. Why are they so far out? Because the U.S. government forced them there. And what about all of the independent BP owners who are going to be hurt because people like you want to stop going there? It is people like you that making mining impossible here. The next time you gripe about the high price of gas just remember part of the reason for the price is because of high overhead because some of the companies have to go through so many restrictions that cause operating costs to go through the roof. BP employs a lot of people all over the world and at least they are stepping up to the plate. Remember, a lot of these people in the Gulf complaining are the same people who went through Katrina and are still living in hotel rooms provided by taxpayers. So the next time you are watching an NBC broadcast, remember it is the mainstream media you are listening to. This isn’t the first big oil spill and it won’t be the last until the government and the tree huggers allow more land drilling in the Montana and Alaska areas and closer to the shore. Barges will still spill oil and rocks will still seep oil on a daily basis.
Everybody in Jenkins knows who the new grade school principal is going to be. Her husband’s a big coach.
Hey Chum, why don’t you run for mayor again when you get out? A few charges aren’t anything to the people who voted for you before. We already have you a campaign manager picked out from east Jenkins, your neck of the woods. We’re working on your motto now. Say hi to Bubba.
What really makes me sick about our judicial system in Letcher County, especially when I read the paper, is that we have persistent felons. You see their names indicted over and over again. They’re just released to commit a crime another day. Why aren’t these people put in prison? That is my question, instead of releasing them all the time to commit more crimes. How asinine.
Happy birthday, Courtney Mullins, on June 19. See, I didn’t forget this year. From old blue eyes.
In response to your ‘dear Mamaw’ comment: For your information, his mom and dad gave him that $1,000 loan and he gave half of it to his papaw now and he pays his own banknotes. Maybe he is my child, so eat your heart out, you weak SOB’s. Come down here and play with me.
You are such a pathetic liar saying that stuff pretending to be a man. You really need help.
Sunshine, who are you trying to tell something? Why don’t you just call and tell them? You sound like a bad soap opera. If you are not a mental case, you sure sound like one.
Dear Speak Your Piece: Recently I read where the Obama administration was going to be transparent and accessible. I wrote President Obama about using hemp seed as the best and cleanest fuel for gasoline. Nobody wrote me back. What’s with this transparent administration that hides in the dark and doesn’t want to come out of the dark ages? You, Mr. President, have the power to make this right. You need to use your power to do whatever it takes so that we, the people of southeastern Kentucky, have something to pull ourselves out of poverty to farm and make our own fuel. Not BP, no more, and this is how we do it.
To the girl on Big Branch: Didn’t your mama tell you about incest? Shame on you.
You lying ugly horse’s mouth. I don’t want you. I don’t love you. You’ll never find anyone to love you if you don’t get rid of that smell you have always had.
Hello, dream lover. Sitting here missing you, wishing you were with me tonight. I worry when you are on the road. ‘Classic Thunder’ is on TBS and the singing is reminding me of you and Gatlinburg, riding in a convertible, walking hand in hand, going to the aquarium and then to our hotel room. I love and miss you so much. Love is the greatest of all gifts, the necessity one needs in life to endure all things, to keep one going and holding it together. Hope you will be in my arms in the next few days, so be careful. Come home to your sunshine very soon. Love, hugs and kisses. Your sunshine always.
I would like to make a comment about the a certain grocery store and restaurant. The workers there aren’t anything but scumbags. Thank you.
This is in response to the 33-year-old girl looking for a man. Describe yourself a little bit. What do you look like? Do you work? How many kids do you have? If you are serious, respond in next week’s paper.
This is to the genius who said Jack Conway had your respect: The only thing Conway did was to say it wasn’t right for Topix to take money from people to take trash off of the Internet, nothing more, nothing less. You are apparently brain dead or you would know that Mr. Banks tried to do something about it also. Topix is in the big state of Texas. Now that is not in Letcher County, so if you want to shell out money to pay for Mr. Conway or Mr. Banks on your behalf, just say the word. The answer to your dilemma is simple: Take your innocent children off of the Internet and stay off yourself. Too much time on your hands and too much trash on the Internet. Go mow grass or raise tomatoes. Thanks.
To the ugly ex-wife who pretends to be other people saying things in Speak Your Piece about people and telling lies: You need to be more like me and be sweeter. I’ve been told I could just get eaten up. Then maybe you wouldn’t be alone and you’d find someone who loves you. It’s clear than no one loves you. Quit playing games and maybe you’ll find someone that wants you.
Would you please call me or please respond in next week’s Speak Your Piece? I would love to have a place and a land contract. I have an ’81 Harley Davidson I would give as down payment. Just respond in next week’s Speak Your Piece and we’ll start there.
I would like to wish Wade Whitehead a late happy birthday from the flip-flop girl.
Attention. The good, bad and ugly of politics over the last 50 to 60 years. To have grown up in the eastern part of the state, I have been an astute observer of people in political and public life and how, from my perspective, the elected people they served, whether it was good, bad or ugly. I think we as voters are responsible for the economic conditions today. The voters in most local elections will only turn out for 30 to 40 percent of the registered voters. Voter apathy has always been a problem in local elections. The ‘old buddy’ system has always been in vogue as long as I can remember. ‘You scratch my back and I will scratch yours’ politicians were not chosen to run on their credentials, but how enamored was the community about this person or persons. Remarks that related to office seekers were quote: ‘He or she is a good person,’ not that he or she were competent for the position. An office seeker could be as dumb as a bag full of rocks and be elected to serve. Politicians made unlimited promises to their constituents. Some of the promises are as follows: If I’m elected you will get a culvert, gravel for your road, a bridge that will serve your needs, help get jobs for your family, clean your cemeteries, and maybe just look the other way if illegal activity of different financial means is happening in the county or city of the area they are serving, maybe bootlegging, selling drugs, etc. Nepotism creeps into the political system when only 30 to 40 percent of the voters exercise their right to vote. At various times in the past, known or unknown politicians have initiated plans for making employment for their families in lieu of qualifications, etc. Nepotism has been part of the political world since the Constitution was written. Government is more discreet today with the ‘old buddy system,’ but this process is still used as a means for employment, regardless of qualifications. Nepotism serves those in the loop to make a viable standard of living. There are many what I refer to as, ‘after the fact government,’ politicians not being aware of problems happening on their watch, and then they try to rubber stamp a solution that will save face for them if controversy is initiated. This situation can be summed up by saying, quote: ‘The horse has got out of the barn, and now you are trying to force him back into the barn.’ ‘Cooking the books’ has become a problem. Politicians doctor the records and later someone is charged with spending money and using a cover-up to validate their records. I infer that there could be many situations in government today where ‘cooking the books’ has become commonplace. This problem occurs because there is a lack in auditing at all levels of government. Individuals in the know tell me that most of the time, audits will not happen unless someone makes a complaint. Status quo governments are in control of many cities and local governments today, and no visionary ideas are made a priority. Government officials are satisfied with holding a position and receiving a paycheck with no future priorities in place. Selfinterest invites many politicians into the arena today, with aspirations of stuffing their coff ers. Many of these politicians are blessed with ‘hot air rhetoric,’ but you know what they say, ‘The squeaky wheel gets the grease.’ Some workforce individuals are continuing to work beyond their retirement years, which in turn causes more unemployment among those who have been educated for the workforce. Many of these individuals become complacent, obese in the workforce and greed sometimes captivates those individuals to stay in their jobs too long. Patriotism has been up and down in this country for many years due to situations in our country and being involved with fighting for freedom in obvious places, and the county cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel. A breakdown of law and order has been obvious to most people who watch the current events that are happening in our country and other parts of the world. We have the best of the best serving our county in foreign countries, and we experience thugs, thieves, robberies, druggies and all other derelicts here at home that are trying to destroy our country. The court system becomes overburdened with the abovementioned individuals and many times we do not understand if justice or injustice is being served in our court system. Many county governments and cities are building elaborate justice buildings, but in the future, the public needs to be aware of the politicians who are serving us in public office. The next writing I will complete a list of the positives that I consider have transpired over the last 50 years.
With all this junk put in here, I just want to say my wife is the prettiest and the best of everybody I’ve known. She’s the love of my life. I worship you, Baby.
The person who praised Suboxone here last week is grossly misinformed, just as the people in the medical field are. I was recently on Suboxone prescribed to me for almost 2-½ years after other prolonged opiate addiction problems. I, too, was told it was the answer to all my problems and easy to get off of in itself. I was also told this about methadone prior to being on it for years as well. Well, earlier this year, I decided to wean myself from Suboxone, and to eventually quit it altogether. Mind you, I was only taking two of the eight milligram orange Suboxone tablets every day, yet had been doing so, as I said, for a long period of time. I got down to one-half pill per day for awhile, then went ‘cold turkey,’ and let me tell you, I am almost six weeks into taking nothing at all, and am still feeling its withdrawal effect daily, though each day is gradually getting better. There is no ‘miracle drug’ of any kind, and the key is these drugs are not meant to be administered long-term, as seems to be the case with most folks taking them. Suboxone and methadone should be given short-term and in steady, low doses with a detox plan in place, as well as drug awareness/ addiction counseling and education. You will only be ‘clean’ if you want to be so, and need to quit relying on the next big ‘miracle drug’ to do the work for you, for it’s all a lie, and the physicians are getting rich off of the addicts’ misery.
We’d like to take this opportunity to thank everyone in Letcher County who welcomed us and made us feel so at home. We came from 15 states and we contributed over $10,000 directly to the local economy, but we couldn’t have done it without the help and expertise from the good folks at Frazier’s Farmer Supply, Food City, Boggs Building Supply and Ovenfork Mercantile. We’d also like to thank Summit City, Las Penas, Kelly, The Coal Bin, The Kentucky Coal Mining Museum, Nathan, Teddy, Appalshop, Bill’s Marathon and Kentuckians for the Commonwealth. Special thanks to Jessica and Greg, and to Jim Webb and Katey for continuing to support tourism efforts in Letcher County. We love you, Letcher County. From all of us at Mountain Justice Summer.

I'm loving this black and white combo Rihanna sported yesterday for her interview with Fuse. The shoulders on her jacket are just emphasized enough, not too far out there like some I've seen (Balmain tends to go over the top with this trend). The puff sleeves are a welcome look. I acutally just bought a cardigan that has this same style.
The trousers are pretty hot too, and although they're a little slouchy, check out those details on the seams of the pants. Hot! I don't really gravitate towards slouchy pants but that's because my bottom half is more pear shaped so I definitely do not want to add bulk in any form.

Anti-war protester Brian Haw was arrested this morning and forced briefly to leave the camp outside Parliament where he has maintained a vigil since 2001.
Mr Haw, 56, from Worcestershire, said that he was taken to nearby Charing Cross police station and released shortly afterwards without charge.
It is the first time he has been arrested since a High Court ruling in July, which established his right to continue his one-man protest.
New legislation introduced this summer requires protesters to obtain police permission before mounting a demonstration within a mile of parliament.
But the court ruled that the requirement does not apply to Mr Haw, as his protest began before the law came into force.
After returning to his spot on the pavement, surrounded by banners and flags in Parliament Square, Mr Haw told PA: "I've been through this at great lengths with the police inspector and he accepts I've got the right to be here and to have friends keeping me company.
"He said he would inform his officers, but the message obviously hasn't filtered down to some of the constables on the beat.
"I was woken up at about 8am by a couple of them shouting at a young woman who was minding my stuff while I slept. They told her she was demonstrating and it was against the law, but she said she was just a friend of mine.
"I stuck my head out of my sleeping bag and said: 'Are you bothering this lady?' and, eventually, they arrested me for breach of the peace.
"I'm not breaching the peace. I'm fighting for it."
Scotland Yard had no immediate information on the incident.
Mr Haw began his lone vigil on June 2 2001, initially in protest at international sanctions on Iraq and, later, at the war and its aftermath.
the police are mounting a campaign of random harrasment of Brian haw, the policy is to create a counter Demonstration so he can be moved.
a loop hole will allow the police to obtain an injunction on his prescence if he becomes a
"instigator of disrupting force"
, by way of ASBO.
All that is needed is a bit of video evidence to suggest that Haw is causing or intending to cause illegal demonstrations within the "yellow Zone".
the present law is forbidding the removal of haw for simply demonstrating, however if he can be deemed to be the cause of illegal demonstrations he can be forbidden from entry by way of ASBO.
You may choose to ignore this advice and most likely you will, however, do remember...you were Tipped off an I risked my job to do it !
Ps Do not underestimate the current resolve of Pro goverment lackeys to whip up such a demonstration and the extent to which they can infultrate your collective.

With an occurrence rate of one out of every 691 live births, Down syndrome is a fairly common chromosomal condition, with 400,000 people currently living in the United States with it. Although the lives of parents and caregivers of children with Down syndrome warrant some extra visits to doctors and therapists, most people with Down syndrome can lead fulfilling and productive lives and are often included in standard classrooms across the country. October is Down Syndrome Awareness Month, and therefore, it is a great time to raise public awareness about and advocate for such individuals to be embraced by families and communities. Take a look at some tips for parents raising a child with Down syndrome.
1. Stay informed and organized
Down syndrome may come with increased risks of medical conditions such as congenital heart defects, pulmonary hypertension, hearing problems (due to fluid retention behind the eardrum), Alzheimer’s disease, leukemia, thyroid disorders and cognitive delays. Having the right pediatrician (who has the knowledge and experience with this special patient population) is valuable in helping you stay informed and prepared and keeping your child safe and healthy.
Parents and caregivers need to be extra vigilant in screening for these medical issues. Maintain a log to keep track of your child’s chronic health, treatments and education to understand their growth journey.
2. Motivate your child
It is important to treat a child with Down syndrome like someone without any disabilities. Having high expectations for your child will encourage them to be enthusiastic and strive for independence. Nevertheless, still set tasks based on their attention span and abilities. You want to set them up for success while still allowing them to learn and grow.
Divide tasks into small steps if needed. Additionally, children with Down syndrome are often visual learners, so demonstrating an action for them may speed up their learning process. However, remember to present only a few stimuli/objects at a time. If your child makes a mistake, correct it by asking them to try again, and applaud a correct response adequately.
3. Take advantage of therapies
While there is no cure for Down syndrome, therapies, treatments and educational support can improve the quality of life of those affected. Of course, early intervention is the key.
Due to frequent hearing impairment, speech-language therapy can often improve communication skills. Hypotonia (low muscle tone) in extremities is a common issue that physical therapy can help with. Meanwhile, occupational therapy meets the needs for fine motor skills and the performance of daily tasks like getting dressed, brushing teeth, and writing or using the computer.
Lexington Services offers all three of these therapy options to assist your child in developing and achieving milestones that will help them grow more independent.
4. Look into special education and assistive technology
Under the U.S. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), special education is available to these children until they either complete high school or turn 21. These services are delineated through an individualized education plan (IEP) drawn up by the school, parents and health professionals. Assistive technology devices such as hearing aids, walking aids, special-grip pencils/pens, touchscreen tablets and computers can also make learning more accessible. Check here for our suggestions on special needs apps!
5. Connect with other parents and support groups
Support groups through social media, local organizations and church groups will not only help you stay informed but also stay strong! Bonding with other people in similar situations provides a level of comfort that you can’t get anywhere else.
With major advances made in understanding this disability, people with Down syndrome are living longer, happier lives. In fact, the life expectancy for these individuals has increased from 25 years in 1980 to over 60 years today. Lexington Services is dedicated to the betterment of both your and your child’s lives through exceptional special needs education services. Explore our website for more information.

What is Student Loan Consolidation?
By definition student loan consolidation is the mechanism by which a borrower consolidates all his current student loans by taking a new loan to repay them. In other words, instead of paying EMI for multiple loans that a student may have taken for his studies, he now has only one loan to pay back.
What is a Student Loan?
To study in a college, a student needs money to pay fees and meet additional expenses like buying books and paying for boarding and lodging. Meritorious students get scholarships. Those who are not eligible for financial aid, raise their funds with a loan being the most common source for the same.
Types of Student Loans
- Federal Student Loan
A majority of the students avail of the federal student loans which are given directly by the government. They come with a limit to how much a student can take in one academic year and are directly supervised and managed by the state department of education and the Congress. Similarly, all the important terms are set by them. Moreover, among all the conditions set, the most important is that these loans offer a fixed rate of interest. In addition, in case of default, the federal government is empowered to recover the due amount by way of tax refunds and by off-setting state benefits.
- Given directly by the US government.
- Regulated by the Congress and department of Education.
- Fixed-rate of interest.
- Strict rules to recover the loan in case of default. For instance, the government can off-set state benefits if the loan is not repaid on time.
- Private Student Loan
Private lenders like banks and financial institutions offer private student loans. They set their terms and conditions, which vary from lender to lender.
- Given by private lenders.
- Terms and conditions vary.
- Rate of interest can be variable or fixed depending upon the lender.
Who is Eligible to Consolidate Student Loan?
Not everyone can consolidate a student loan. There are certain criteria a borrower must fulfill to avail of this option.
- The borrower should have finished his studies or pursuing a part-time course.
- Good credit history.
- Minimum loan balance or outstanding as demanded by the lender.
- Loans which require consolidation should be in the name of the individual only.
Advantages of Student Loan Consolidation
- It helps a person to plan his payout systematically.
- The borrower can extend his repayment tenure with his new loan, thereby giving himself more time to arrange his finances.
- Lenders also give the option to change from an existing variable rate of interest linked to market fluctuations to a fixed interest payout. In other words, they allow a person to know exactly how much he or she will have to shell out each month.
- Link the repayment plan to income accrued from employment.
Disadvantages of Student Loan Consolidation
- In all likelihood, you will end up paying more since even though the interest may be lower than the existing loans, the repayment tenure will be longer.
- Therefore, with an increase in tenure, you will remain in debt longer.
- With a larger loan against your name, the credit balance reduces, which could be a problem when you apply for a new loan for some other purpose, like buying a house.
- Some lenders demand prepayment penalties if you close the account before the end of its scheduled tenure.
In conclusion, borrowers who have taken a student loan to complete their college and higher education have the choice to opt for a student loan consolidation. But like all loan consolidations here too it is advantageous only if the borrower shows discipline in repaying it.

The idea of IoT in banking can feel a lot like a vendor construct “pushed” onto the industry. Connecting “things” to the internet makes more sense for industries that have more “things” to connect (e.g., manufacturing, healthcare, and insurance). Retail banks don’t deal in such tangibles. Instead, the opportunity is around the “connected customer” – knowing where they are, and what they’re doing, and offering more personalized products and services based on this information.
Long-term, entirely new levels of contextual guidance become possible. For example, the second a customer enters a car lot or their favorite retail park, a bank could notify them of how much money they can borrow, and at what rate. Medium-term, as the concept of connected cities comes to fruition, banks could send a warning to avoid certain retailers where they typically over-spend. Banks could even automate day-to-day account management based on declared goals and sensors to optimize financial outcomes for customers, all of which goes toward helping banks establish themselves as the “trusted advisor” in the move to open banking.
Most banks are already well underway with the big, multi-year transformation projects around cloud and big data analytics (BDA) to enable such experiences, but IoT will make the data aspect of that much harder. Data types where source-complexity and formats hinder consumption, for example, require new skill sets and new analytical techniques to discern trends. The volume of data – and the velocity of it – will mean new data warehousing and cloud programs.
This report analyses the impact of internet of things on retail banking.
-The report offers a framework in which to look at IoT, summarizes the important trends and identifies the key players.
-It analyses the opportunities around the “connected customer” for retail banks – knowing where they are, and what they’re doing, and offering more personalized products and services based on this information.

The report highlights some of the big players in IoT and where do they sit in the value chain.

Holiday gatherings are usually the perfect time to share a drink with friends and family. In 2020, things are looking a bit different. We may need to toast each other virtually or outdoors (maybe with an Irish Coffee or some other warm drink). Still, I hope you and yours find some good cheer!
Here is a collection of some of my favorite winter-appropriate cocktails. They range from low-ABV options like the dry and bubbly Expat and the rich and bitter-sweet Bitter Giuseppe to citrusy shaken drinks like the Perfect Pear to rich spirit-forward stirred drinks like the Walnut Old Fashioned.
If you’re looking for an impressive punch that’s great to share with a crowd, it’s tough to beat the Clarified English Milk Punch, which has a wonderful silky mouthfeel despite it’s crystal-clear appearance and citrusy rum flavor.
If you want something warm, the Spanish Coffee with a caramelized sugar rim is a great option, and there’s also the classic Irish Coffee for brunch or dessert comfort.
And, yes, there’s a recipe for eggnog in here.
If you’re making drinks for a crowd, it’s smart to batch them ahead of time instead of making each one to order.
An easy hack for batching cocktails is switching ounces to cups to make eight servings, and adding about 1/2 to 1 cup of water and a generous amount of ice. (Don’t skimp on water and ice, they’re crucial to balancing the drinks in a batch which would normally be chilled and diluted by shaking or stirring individually.)

11 Essential Tools for Your Home Bar
Here is a collection of some of my favorite drinks for winter gatherings with friends and family. You can make most of these in a big batch ahead of time (be sure to add water and plenty of ice to replicate the dilution that normally happens when shaking or stirring a drink), but don't juice your citrus more than a couple of days in advance because the flavor dulls significantly.
The Vieux Carré spirit-forward New Orleanian take on the Manhattan. It's a richer, more complex drink than classic the Manhattan. The base is split between rye whiskey and cognac, and in addition to sweet vermouth there is a splash of Benedictine and dashes of Peychaud's and Angostura bitters. This drink is especially nice with Pierre Ferrand cognac and Carpano Antica sweet vermouth (though some people think the vanilla notes in Carpano Antica are too overpowering and prefer a more straightforward sweet vermouth like Cocchi Vermouth di Torino). It's often garnished with a lemon twist. I usually skip that, but feel free to add it if you like.
This low-alcohol cocktail was originally developed by Stephen Cole at Chicago’s Violet Hour. It is on the bitter side of the spectrum, but it’s not an exceptionally bitter drink. It’s herbaceous and complex. The bitter Cynar gets held in check by the sweetness from the vermouth and the sour from the lemon juice. Sanders calls for Carpano Antica sweet vermouth, but lately I’ve been making it with Cocchi Vermouth di Torino. I think Vya sweet vermouth would also be lovely here. For the orange bitters, I recommend Regan’s Orange Bitters No. 6 or Angostura Orange Bitters over Fee Brothers (if you have some other less common orange bitters you like, feel free to use those).
Clarified milk punch is different from more common creamy milk drinks like eggnog. This is an English milk punch where the milk is curdled with citrus and strained to make a clear drink with a silky mouthfeel. I like to use a mix of rums here--a white rum, an aged dark rum, and a bit of Smith & Cross—but you can use a white rum or an aged dark rum for all of the rums in this recipe (Smith & Cross is too assertive to use on its own here). Don't break the bank on a cognac for this. And note that the Batavia Arrack is significantly mellowed in the clarification process. This is a drink that goes down easy. Please use whole milk here. Alternative non-dairy milks won't produce the same results.
This classic cocktail dates back to the turn of the 20th century. It’s a less-sweet variation on the famous Manhattan. The original version calls for Amer Picon, which is as of this writing is still unavailable in the U.S. and, regardless of availability, the modern stuff is very different from the original formula. There are plenty of potential substitutions, and if I were running a bar I would probably make a house version of Amer Picon, but my favorite workaround for home is simply the widely available Ramazzotti amaro and orange bitters. The proportions here are slightly different from the classic, but I like the balance.
The Sazerac is a classic New Orleans drink that was originally made with cognac, but is now typically made with rye whiskey. It's a bracing, spirit-forward drink for people who really love the taste of rye. It's a rinse of absinthe (you can also use Herbsaint), a mix of rye, simple syrup, and Peychaud's bitters, and a twist of lemon peel expressed over the glass. I like to use rich simple syrup here which is a 2:1 mix of sugar and water because it adds a little body to the drink. If you're a fan of cognac, you might try using half cognac and half rye for a nice, split-base variation. I like to use a rye on the lower-proof side (80-90) rather than one in the 100-proof range for the right balance in this one. (If all you have is a high proof whiskey, consider stirring it for a few more seconds to add some dilution to tame the heat.)
This drink is tart, light, and refreshing. It makes a great pre-dinner or brunch drink. Aperol is an Italian amaro that’s similar to Campari, but much milder with notes of bitter orange, rhubarb, and herbs. Use any gin you like here. You could even leave the gin out entirely for an even lower alcohol drink. As I’ve mentioned before, my favorite kind of shaker is the two-piece metal kind, and I swear by a citrus squeezer for juicing lemons and limes.
Irish coffee is the classic cocktail with hot coffee, Irish whiskey, and a float of gently whipped cream on the top.
You can adjust the amount of sugar from 1 1/2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon, depending on how sweet you like your drink, but don't eliminate it entirely. It helps make the drink dense enough to prevent the cream from sinking.
While I won't tell anyone if you make this with bourbon or rye, if you want the classic experience, use an Irish whiskey here.
You can whip the cream ahead of time by pouring some into a mason jar, closing it tightly, and shaking for a few minutes.
This eggnog recipe is perfect for when you want just a few servings. Morgenthaler says it serves two, but I’d say it easily serves four. It can easily be scaled up if you want to make it for a slightly larger crowd. I like to make this using a stick blender so I can blend it in the same jar I store it in for easier cleanup, but you can use a regular blender here too. I use brandy and bourbon here, but you could use any combination of brandy, bourbon or rum. This recipe uses raw eggs, which means there’s a small risk of salmonella. I’m comfortable with that risk, but I wouldn’t serve even a booze-free version to pregnant women or people with compromised immune systems, just to be safe. Do use freshly grated nutmeg here. It makes such a difference.
This margarita replaces the traditional triple sec with a combination of bitter Aperol and floral elderflower. You can use your favorite elderflower liqueur, such as St. Germaine here. I tend to keep the less-expensive but still delicious St. Elder on hand for these purposes. I like to use a combination of kosher salt and sumac to coat the rim, and I prefer to coat only half the rim to allow for the option of sips with no salt. The sumac adds some visual interest and a subtle sour flavor, but is totally optional if you don’t have it on hand. This drink has a bitter edge to it, which is how I prefer my drinks. If you like your drinks on the sweeter side, use 3/4 ounce of both the Aperol and the elderflower liqueur.
This cocktail is a regular one around these parts. It is a spirit-forward drink that’s perfectly balanced. Old Tom gin is making a comeback for a good reason. It’s sweeter and more full-bodied than the popular London dry style gins like Beefeater. This isn’t a place for Plymouth or Bombay Sapphire. I recommend Ransom Old Tom gin, an Oregon gin that is aged in pinot noir barrels, but I’ve had the drink made with Hayman’s Old Tom gin and enjoyed it that way as well. (Michigan’s Journeyman Distillery’s Bilberry Black Hearts Barrel Aged gin is not technically an Old Tom style, but the barrel-aging makes it work well in a drink like this.) Use any sweet vermouth you like. A big-flavored vermouth like Carpano Antica or Vya is especially lovely in this drink.
The Boulevardier is a variation on the Negroni with whiskey in place of gin (or alternately could be thought of a Manhattan with half of the sweet vermouth swapped out for Campari). It's a rich, bracing, spirit-forward cocktail. The original recipe called for equal parts whiskey, Campari, and sweet vermouth, and I still have a soft spot for that version, but most modern bartenders up the whiskey. This can be made with bourbon or rye (I prefer rye) and the sweet vermouth of your choice. Carpano Antica is always a good option, though my favorite version is made with Punt e Mes, a sweet vermouth with a bitter component for added complexity. You can express orange peel over the drink if you like. (I'm usually too lazy to bother with it for this one, but that's just me.) There is no clear favorite for glassware on this one. It can be served in a coupe or a rocks glass or anything in between. Also, while I don't call for it here, this drink is sometimes served over ice. Feel free to do so if you prefer.
This cocktail with Cynar, Cognac, and Punt e Mes, is a riff on a Boulevardier, which itself is a riff on a classic Negroni. The herbal, bitter Cynar gets tamed by the rich Cognac and the sweetness of the Punt e Mes. It's a simple equal-parts cocktail for fans of amari. I like to use Maison Rouge VS for an easy to find, reasonably priced mixing Cognac (there are plenty of better sipping Cognacs but they get pricey).
This is a fruity, citrusy, sweet-tart cocktail that tastes like fresh pears. It’s a lovely and elegant drink for fall happy hours and gatherings. Meehan calls for Clear Creek Pear Brandy, which is excellent and is what I used here, but I’ve made it with other pear brandies and have been equally pleased with the results.
This tiki drink is fruity but not too sweet. The sweetness of the pineapple is balanced with the sour of the lime juice and the herbal notes from the Fernet Branca. To make fresh pineapple juice without a juicer, you can puree pineapple chunks in a blender and then strain out the pulp with a fine mesh strainer. For squeezing limes, this is my weapon of choice. I prefer shaking drinks in a two-piece metal shaker, which is so much easier to open than the three-piece cobbler shakers you may be more familiar with.
Spanish coffee is a cocktail that originated in Portland, Oregon in the 1970s at Huber's Cafe. It remains popular in the Pacific Northwest, but hasn't spread far beyond that, which is a shame, because it's both delicious and fun to make. My version is adapted from Jeffrey Morgenthaler's excellent Bar Book. You need to make sure you have a tempered glass with a stem to hold onto (a standard wine glass should be fine, but no rocks glasses unless you also have fireproof bionic hands). You need a 151-proof rum (also called overproof rum) which you set on fire and use to caramelize the sugar around the rim of the glass. Morgenthaler moistens the rim of the glass with a lime wedge, but I typically just use water because I don't think the lime flavor comes through and I find it more convenient. You can use any coffee liqueur you like. Morgenthaler uses Kahlua, which is probably the sweetest of the widely available coffee liqueurs, but I think the drink also works well with Tia Maria and coffee liqueurs from smaller producers.
I know there are a range of preferences when it comes to this drink. So, if you know what you like, make it your way!
"Dry" originally referred to making a Martini with dry rather than sweet vermouth, but has since come to mean a drink with a higher ratio of gin or vodka to dry vermouth.
I particularly like a gin Martini with Plymouth gin and Dolin dry vermouth, but any London dry or Plymouth style gin will work. For a vodka Martini, Absolut or Belvedere are good options, and again, I like them with Dolin.
It's worth noting that Noilly Prat is the classic dry vermouth for the Martini, and there's a whole world of interesting dry vermouths available to play with if you're so inclined.
But whatever vermouth you use, be sure to refrigerate it after opening.
I call for a 5-to-1 ratio of gin or vodka to vermouth here, but anything from 2-to-1 to 7-to-1 is in the common range for a Dry Martini.
This Mezcal Mule is a variation on the classic Moscow Mule, which is traditionally made with vodka. I love the smoky quality mezcal brings to the combination of ginger ale and lime, but you could certainly use another spirit here (honestly anything from gin to whiskey to rum will be good here) if you like. If you're interested in trying mezcal, Del Maguey Vida is a good affordable brand. Use any ginger ale or ginger beer you like (I'm a fan of Fever Tree, Fentiman's, and Q). Or, if you've made my homemade ginger syrup, use 1 1/2 ounces ginger syrup and 3 ounces of soda water. Please use fresh-squeezed lime juice and not the bottled stuff here. The mint is pretty and smells nice, but it's totally optional.
I learned about this bourbon cocktail in Jeffrey Morgenthaler's excellent Bar Book. It comes from San Franciso bartender Jon Santer's time at Bourbon & Branch. It's a spirit forward cocktail for bourbon fans with subtle notes of coffee liqueur and garnished the oil from a flamed orange peel (which might be my favorite way to garnish a drink).
This riff on the Old Fashioned is made with Canadian whiskey or rye, but I think it’s better with rye. I like Old Overholt, which is pictured here, and is a reasonably priced old standby when it comes to rye, but this would be a nice place to show off a higher end rye if you have it. There are other Fernets out there, but I’ve only ever made this with the classic Fernet-Branca. If you want to get fancy, you can garnish this with a flamed orange twist.
This drink is a pretty one featuring Prairie Organic Gin, sweet-tart grapefruit, orange liqueur, bubbles, and a layer of deep red Angostura bitters over the top. A light, bubbly, citrusy drink with some warm baking spice flavor from the bitters.

I STILL find it amazing that with all the climate, security, health and financial interests America has in reducing its dependence on oil, our Congress could not work out an energy bill over the past two years — especially when China, Japan and the European Union are all hurdling ahead on clean-tech. That we failed to pass an energy bill — cap-and-trade, a carbon tax, efficiency standards, I don’t care which — is actually a reflection of a broader U.S. power failure. It is the failure of our political system to unite, even in a crisis, to produce the policy responses America needs to thrive in the 21st century.
As the Wall Street Journal columnist Gerald Seib once noted: “America and its political leaders, after two decades of failing to come together to solve big problems, seem to have lost faith in their ability to do so. A political system that expects failure doesn’t try very hard to produce anything else.”
It is a shame because America, while often paralyzed from the top down, is alive from the bottom up. The more I travel around our country, the more I meet people who didn’t get the word — that we’re supposed to be depressed and on our backs — and they’re out experimenting with education, innovating with technology and using the Web for startups. But our political system is not empowering, enhancing and inspiring their efforts at the speed and scale that we need.
If you want to see in stark relief all the forces undermining our system’s ability to make smart, strategic, long-term decisions, read Ryan Lizza’s article in the Oct. 11 issue of The New Yorker, explaining just how the bipartisan effort by Sens. John Kerry (Democrat), Lindsey Graham (Republican) and Joseph Lieberman (Independent) to produce an energy-climate bill and enhance clean-tech innovation was killed this year.
Entitled “As the World Burns,” Lizza’s piece is an X-ray of the dysfunctions eating away at our future: politicians who only know how to read polls, never change them; media outlets serving political parties; special interests buying senators; mindless partisanship; an epidemic of low expectations for our government. And us — we elected them all, and we tolerate them.
Here are a few graphs from Lizza’s piece:
Mindless tribal partisanship: Lizza describing what happened to Graham when it became clear in his home state of South Carolina that he was supporting a clean energy bill with Democrats: “Graham was holding a town-hall meeting in the gym of a high school in Greenville, S.C. His constituents were not happy. One man accused him of ‘making a pact with the Devil.’ Another shouted, ‘No principled compromise!’ One audience member asked, ‘Why do you think it’s necessary to get in bed with people like John Kerry?’ Graham, dressed in a blue blazer and khakis, paced the floor, explaining that there were only 40 Republicans in the Senate, which meant that he had to work with the 60 Democrats. A man in the bleachers shouted, ”You’re a traitor, Mr. Graham! You’ve betrayed this nation and you’ve betrayed this state!’ ”
A TV network acting as the political enforcer of the Republican Party: Lizza: ”Back in Washington, Graham warned Lieberman and Kerry that they needed to get as far as they could in negotiating the bill ‘before Fox News got wind of the fact that this was a serious process,’ one of the people involved in the negotiations said. ‘He would say: The second they focus on us, it’s gonna be all cap-and-tax all the time, and it’s gonna become just a disaster for me on the airwaves. We have to move this along as quickly as possible.’ ”
Special interests buying policy: Lizza: ”Then Newt Gingrich’s group, American Solutions, whose largest donors include coal and electric-utility interests, began targeting Graham with a flurry of online articles about the ‘Kerry-Graham-Lieberman gas tax bill.’ ”
Politicians who put their interests before the country’s: Lizza: “Then, suddenly, there was a new problem: Harry Reid, the Senate majority leader, said that he wanted to pass immigration reform before the climate-change bill. It was a cynical ploy. Everyone in the Senate knew that there was no immigration bill. Reid was in a tough re-election, and immigration activists, influential in his home state of Nevada, were pressuring him.”
A political system that cannot manage multiple policy shifts at once — even though it needs to — Lizza: Obama aide Jay Heimbach attended meetings with the three sponsoring senators, “but almost never expressed a policy preference or revealed White House thinking. ‘It’s a drum circle,’ one Senate aide lamented. ‘They come by: How are you feeling? Where do you think the votes are? What do you think we should do? It’s never: Here’s the plan, here’s what we’re doing.’ Said one Obama adviser, explaining the president’s difficulty in motivating congressional Democrats on energy: ‘The horse has been ridden hard this year and just wants to go back to the barn.’ ”
I just have one thing to add: We need to do better …

What is the difference between Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp? Campaign Monitor How To Upload Pdf

Two is plenty to think about at a time. If among these sounds close, you can compare it to another product, to see if it gets better, or even more away, from an important possession.
The primary distinctions in between Campaign Monitor and Mailchimp are:.
Campaign Monitor has a visual journey contractor, whereas Mailchimp does not.

A Trojan infection has been linked to the theft of hundreds of thousands of rand from Internet accounts held at South African bank Absa.
South Africa's Sunday Times yesterday reported that police are investigating nine cases involving thefts from Absa accounts. Losses reported to the police come in at R230,000 (£18,800) but the Sunday Times says it has evidence that a further R300,000(£24,600), not included in police figures, went missing from the account of one customer who contacted the paper.
Police and bank officials told the paper that criminals used "spy ware" to gain access of victims PCs to swipe Internet banking information and transfer money out of their accounts.
One likely scenario is that crackers targeted customers of Absa, South Africa's largest bank, sending out Trojan horse malware in order to pull off their crimes. This theory might why only Absa customers have reported raids on their accounts thus far.
One victim, Helene van Tonder, a bookkeeper from Bellville, said her R15,000 (£1,230) salary vanished from her account the day after it was paid in. Absa compensated van Tonder for this loss but she still decided to close her account as a precaution.
Police spokesman Riaan Pool said police are working on the theory that a single perpetrator is involved in the crimes. Presumably an audit trail from the transactions will help police narrow down their search for this as yet unknown crim.
Absa's group information security officer, Richard Peasy, told the Sunday Times that the bank's "security systems and processes had alerted the bank to suspicious activity before these clients knew about it.
"The transactions were frozen and the process for dealing with potentially fraudulent transactions was instituted," he said.
However, attorney Harry de Villiers said more than R300,000 from a trust account he administered went missing last week. Closer inspection of account statements revealed this money was used to pay for 15 laptop computers along with a cash transfer to another bank, he added. ®

EVERY car-maker on the planet wants a piece of the new market sector darling, the compact SUV. Barring one or two, every car-maker will soon offer a small, high-riding five-door hatchback in its range, too.
Mazda’s new CX-3 has been marked for a long time. Recent entrants into the space have all made reference to the fact that “the CX-3 is coming” even Mazda Australia itself is trying to dampen expectations by cautioning that supply may be limited if the car is a worldwide hit.
At first blush, Mazda Australia may well be right – the CX-3 is going to rocket to the top of the charts with a bullet.
Its roadside presence is, for a vehicle derived from the petite Mazda2, quite extraordinary. Its aggressively sloped roof, its cab-back stance, the high waist and liberal use of black highlights combine perfectly with a corporate-ID nose and subtle rear end treatment. It’s a genuine head turner.
It measures 4275mm long, 1765mm wide and 1550mm high. It is 215mm longer, 70mm wider and 55mm higher than its hatch sibling, despite being on the same wheelbase.
Mazda has brought the entire team off the bench for the opening play, too, with 14 variants available from launch. Starting at an almost category-low $19,990 plus on-road costs for the manual front-drive Neo – not due in Australia until at least the end of April – the top-spec Akari nudges the $40,000 mark in all-wheel-drive diesel trim.
The Neo is one of the cheapest compact SUVs on sale today, but is just edged out by the Chery J11 that costs $19,990 driveaway.
Both manual and automatic transmissions can be specified across most of the range, and Mazda’s new SkyActiv-D 1.5-litre turbo-diesel four-potter debuts alongside its stalwart SkyActiv-G 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine.
The second-tier Maxx is expected to underpin the anticipated 1000 sales-a-month effort with 55 per cent of the total. On board the FWD petrol manual version, it’s easy to see why. Mazda has taken great pains – and spent a lot of money – to impart a feeling of quality and refinement to its newest nameplate, and it’s succeeded on most fronts.
The dash’s design is taken from the Mazda2 and given a going-over to suit the new space, while the MZD Connect infotainment screen is a modern, sensible (if almost clichéd) way to introduce a wide array of entertainment options.
Seating arrangements for both driver and passenger are spacious, airy and comfortable, with the pilot’s position comfortably able to accommodate even the largest of drivers – albeit at the expense of the rear-seat passengers.
Given the small footprint of the CX-3, it’s obvious that the second row is intended more for younger charges – indeed, Mazda has mounted the rear seat 37mm higher than the front to bring back-seat passengers closer to the action.
While it’s not exactly roomy back there for adults, headroom is sufficient for this 187cm tester. Knee-room is also restrictive when the front seats are slid slightly rearwards, but sub-teens will find no issues.
A lack of an armrest in between the front seats is a minor annoyance, as is the lack of a digital speedo (it’s available in the top two grades in conjunction with Mazda’s head-up display system, which seems odd – you get two digital speedos then!). An armrest can be optioned.
Mazda claims that the CX-3’s urban customer set doesn’t look at luggage capacity as a buying factor IKEA shoppers may argue the point. At 264 litres, the CX-3’s rear space is one of the smallest in the category – the Honda HR-V measures a voluminous 427 litres in comparison – but it extends out to a Fartlek bookshelf-swallowing 1174 litres with the 60/40 seats folded flat. They do fold flat, too. The CX-3 has a false floor in the boot that can be used to deepen the load space, as well.
There is plenty of well laid-out in-cabin storage too, especially for the front-seat passengers. A pair of USB ports and a 12V socket means that your devices won’t run flat, either.
In motion, the base Maxx is a very competent car. Weighing in at just 1193kg, the 2.0-litre SkyActiv-G 109kW/195Nm engine has an easy job of it, however its relative lack of torque compared with its turbocharged competitors means that the gearbox gets a thorough workout on rolling terrain. Given the slick shifting six-speeder and the well-weighted clutch feel, this is not a chore in the slightest.
The CX-3’s steering feel is just as nice, its light action belying its good sense of connection to the road. Brake modulation and feel, too, is excellent.
An easy-to-use Bluetooth system is welcome, too.
Stepping into the automatic AWD sTouring, the ambience goes up a notch along with the spec level. Larger rims, a heavier all-wheel-drive layout and an automatic gearbox add 99kg to the base weight, which changes the driving experience considerably. A heavier, firmer feel at the wheel and more of a reluctance to climb grades are evident, but the composure of the AWD system gives the CX-3 the solidity of a much larger car.
Finally, a short stint in the new 1.5-litre diesel four-potter reveals a little peach of an engine that does a very respectable job of hauling the top-spec Akari’s 1368kg. Ignore the 77kW power figure it’s the 270Nm of torque that is doing the work. It does it in a very refined way, as well. We also saw economy figures of 5.3 litres per 100 kilometres on our test run, against a claimed figure of 5.1, which is an excellent result on a fresh engine.
The Akari’s white-on-black leather/suede interior is incredibly well put together, but it won’t be to everyone’s tastes. The top-spec’s full-house chassis safety suite adds a layer of complexity to the driver’s interface that isn’t there on the lower grades.
Mazda’s approach is to roll out a wide variety of CX-3s to a market that is still in its infancy. With 14 on offer, it’s natural to suggest that perhaps all of them won’t make the cut when it comes to the first model refresh. In the meantime, though, those people who do their homework will find a CX-3 perfectly in tune with their needs.
The FWD petrol-powered sTouring at $28,990 plus on-road costs, for example, nets most of the functionality of the Akari with the simplicity of the Maxx.
Regardless of what you pick, the CX-3 is an excellent contender for the number one spot in the compact SUV stakes. It’s handsome, competent, comfortable and well specified, and it will easily ascend to the top of the charts in short order.

It’s that time of year again…cold and flu season.
It’s funny how the flu is the only illness that gets a whole season named after it, isn’t it?
What changes this time of year that increases our susceptibility to getting sick? Are colds and the flu inevitable, or can they be prevented?
As someone who used to come down with bronchitis, sore throats, and sinus congestion multiple times a year, I know how inconvenient and uncomfortable being sick is. Over the past few years, the changes I’ve made to my lifestyle and diet boosted my immune system, so I rarely got sick and felt better than ever. Even my husband, an elementary school phys ed teacher, who is exposed to countless sick kids every day, stays well, too.
I can usually get through this time of year without getting sick, but this winter has been a tough one for me. I got sick – sore throat, feeling totally run down, and a bit feverish. Not the full-blown flu, but I felt pretty crappy. I am the worst patient and hate being sick! But my body was sending me a message that I wasn’t taking care of it, so I got run down as a result.
Looking back, I can attribute my weakened immune system to NOT doing all of the things I’ve outlined below on a consistent basis. When I’m following these steps, I don’t get sick. My immune system is strong and fights for me.
So, what are the secrets of those who stay well? What if we could naturally boost our immune system, so we could thrive through instead of simply survive this time of year? Can we do more to protect ourselves than solely relying on the flu shot and a bottle of hand sanitizer? Not that there’s any harm in getting a bottle of Hand Sanitizer Canada ready for when the sickness hits, but most of the medications we take just suppress symptoms but don’t get to the root of why we’re sick. They also interfere with our body’s natural healing process. And we all know washing our hands is certainly important, but…
We can do better.
Here are six tried and true steps you can take to supercharge your immune system and stay well in the winter.
1) Catch Some Zs
Lack of sleep (usually staying up to late) is the #1 trigger for me to get sick.
Though not the most glamorous piece of guidance, getting adequate, quality sleep is one of the best things we can do to boost our immune system. Our body uses sleep as a time to rest, repair and restore itself, so when we shortchange ourselves, we compromise our body’s ability to fight back. Sleep disturbances not only reduce our immune response but have also been linked to increased susceptibly to the common cold. One of the best things we can do if we start to feel like we’re coming down with something is to prioritize sleep and get a few extra hours of shut-eye. However, some people find that using immune system supplements could help boost their immunity so they can get over their cold or flu. That being said, some people can find it difficult to swallow supplements when they come in tablet or pill forms. Fortunately, there are now liquid vitamins and supplements which provide an alternative way to boost your immune system. You can learn more about liquid vitamins and supplements @ https://tropicaloasis.com/.
Since millions of people have trouble sleeping, try one of these tips to better sleep:
- Check out The Sleep Doctor, Dr. Michael Breus’s book, The Power of When, to understand how to optimize your daily activities and sleep based on what he calls your “chronotype.” Click this link to take a quick quiz to identify YOUR chronotype.
- Set your phone to Night Shift to reduce exposure to stimulating blue light. If you have an iPhone, go into Settings — Display & Brightness — Night Shift. I have mine set to turn on at sunset and turn off at sunrise.
- Take a warm bubble bath or lavender epsom salt bath. Taking a bath before bed raises our core body temperature. Stepping out of the bath drops our temperature, which stimulates the release of sleep-promoting compounds. The magnesium in the epsom salts have a calming, anti-anxiety effect, too.
- Set your room temperature to 65F. You know how hard it is to sleep in a room that is too warm. A cooler temperature promotes better sleep.
- Use the Calm app to find a soothing meditation or relaxing adult bedtime story to prepare you for rest.
2) Begin with the Gut
They might look like Cheetos, but these puffy tubes are actually bacteria. Did you know that bacteria cells outnumber human cells 10:1? That’s right. We’re mostly bacteria.
Because 70-80% of our immune cells are located in and around our digestive system, one of the first places we should focus on to boost our immunity is our “gut.” The bacteria in our gut play a crucial role in the development and maintenance of our immune system and our Western diet, rich in processed packaged foods, and the overutilization of antibiotics has been linked to gut dysfunction and imbalances in our gut bacteria.
Increasing our consumption of prebiotics and probiotics is one way we can boost our digestive health and, therefore, our overall health. Prebiotics are fermentable fibers that feed probiotic bacteria. Sources of prebiotic foods include buckwheat, chicory, burdock root, onions, garlic, asparagus, green tea, and blueberries, to name a few. We also want to increase consumption of traditional probiotic-rich foods like miso, natto, kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir to promote a healthy gut.
Another option is to take a probiotic supplement. If you do, make sure you go with one that is high quality and proven effective. This review of the top probiotic supplements should help you.
3) Supplement with Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is a powerful immune system regulator. Some experts even suggest that the collective reduction in sun strength and exposure (one of our primary sources of vitamin D) this time of year is what sets most of us up for reduced immunity. Deficiencies in vitamin D have been linked to increased susceptibility to infection, colds and the flu, and many Americans are deficient in this immune-boosting nutrient.
The best form to take is vitamin D3. Most supplements are D2, so make sure you check and get D3. Recommendations vary, although the Vitamin D Council suggests 1,000 IUs (international units) for children and 5,000 IUs for adults daily. Vitacost is a great resource for supplements, including D3.
See your doctor to have your vitamin D level checked. It should be at least 30 ng/ml and closer to 50 ng/ml or more for optimal health and cancer prevention. Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin, so it should be consumed with some source of fat for optimal absorption. Check out the chart below from the Vitamin D council. Live in Colorado and want to get your vitamin levels checked? Click to see Family Medicine csu health center hours and get a check-up booked in today.
4) Eat Your G-BOMBS
Chronic stress depletes our body of nutrients, so upgrading our nutrition to support our body is especially critical during this time. All of us have heard about the importance of having a colorful diet, but this catchy acronym from Dr. Joel Fuhrman puts a new spin on that age-old advice.
G-BOMBS stands for Greens, Beans, Onions, Mushrooms, Berries and Seeds. I’ve written in more detail about them here. These nutrient-dense foods are packed with anti-inflammatory phytochemicals, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals that work together to supercharge our immune system. Leafy greens like kale, spinach, Swiss chard and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower have antiviral and immune-boosting properties.
Compounds from onions and other members of the allium vegetable family, like garlic, leeks, shallots and scallions thin mucus and have been found to have anti-asthmatic and antibiotic effects. Beans are rich in prebiotic fiber that helps feed the good bacteria in our digestive system. I eat beans almost every day. Believe it or not, mushrooms are also a significant immune booster and have strong antiviral and antibacterial properties. For more about the power of mushrooms, check out the TEDTalk below.
Whether you enjoy them in salads, smoothies, soups, stews, stocks, steamed or sautéed, eat your G-BOMBS to boost your immunity. Most recipes on this blog are packed full of G-BOMBS. Here are a few GBOMBS-rich soup recipes.
5) Chill Out
This time of year is characterized by heightened levels of stress from travel, holiday shopping, reduced exercise, increases in consumption of alcohol and sugar-laden foods, family get-togethers, time management, and, for many, holiday blues and depression. Do what you can to increase your resiliency to stressors because stress significantly suppresses our immune function.
If you want to thrive through the winter, make time for relaxation and fun, whether it takes the form of meditation, yoga, massage, a mani/pedi, dancing, taking a day off from work, a soothing epsom salt bath or calling a friend, going on a date, playing a game, or spending time in nature, even if it is chilly outside.
You can also just watch this video and search “laughing babies” on YouTube for instant stress relief!
6) Move Moderately
As the weather gets colder, we tend to spend more time indoors and less time moving. Moderate exercise may have a protective effect on the immune system, while excessive exercise and overtraining can depress our immune response.
I love this infographic from Precision Nutrition that gives all the details on exercising when you’re sick.
If you feel like you’re coming down with something, mild to moderate movement is the way to go. Try a dance class like tai chi, yoga, dancing, Nia,or go for a brisk walk, jog or indoor swim. My favorite place to take classes like this in Baltimore is Movement Lab.
So, there you have it! If you want to stay well this winter, thrive instead of survive, and feel the best you’ve ever felt, follow these tips to supercharge your immune system.
Is there anything I’m missing? Any tips you swear by that help you stay well? I’d love to hear from you in the comments below!

|The memorable LCSG 2012 Treasure hunt... Hardy is on the left!|
|Hardy showing how easy to change tube.. @ LCSG servicing WS|
|Captivating the audience with Louis Lee|
I started cycling long time ago because place that i grew up had alot cycling activity (marine crescent). During those days,it was mainly BMX and roadie time.I can still remember that we built jump ramp before the flyover to ecp was even built!
During that years if you got bicycle weekend can make money liao, part time sell drink or curry puff along east coast park.
I like two wheelers from bicycle to motorcycles. Actually I used to race motorbike and motorcross competitively .Only stopped a few year back old as sponsors were hard to come by. Anyway, got to give chance to newbie :)
My first ride with LCSG were at lavender mrt. It was organise by francis chu early feb this year.
My favourite route is tresure hunt because that ride was fun and though until i get sick .heheheh
For me i help out anyone during any group ride LCSG i rather like to b sweeper or safety.
Always ask people to join LCSG ride because I find it safe and for some rides you can even have ur kid tag along.
Just reminder on safety.
I always make sure I have safety equipment in all sports activity. I would suggest that you invest a bit more for quality items. Helmet, gloves and shoe are something not to be ignored.
Taiwoon additional points to add:
Hardy is a very very helpful chap! He has been an indispensable Angel mechanic on wheels who offers his help so willingly. No one asked, he just stepped up and did it. Always smiling, he makes on the fly repair looks so easy. A note to all, if he helped u, please be nice, replace the tube and treat him kopi or something lah.
Together with Louis Lee, he helped to run the LCSG servicing workshop where he showed the specifics of a tube change and how to check bicycle for issue.
Thank you very very much, Hardy for all your contributions to LCSG and PNR!

Happy 2016 friends and colleagues.
Time flies, it is 2016 already. Recently, we have been making plans to strengthen engagement with our stakeholders in the community. We have recreated our website to offer a more modern appearance, and easier and quicker access to information and resources. We are also excited to introduce regular e-newsletters as a channel to maintain regular and efficient communication with our friends and partners in the communuity.
Since the celebration of our 10th anniversary in 2012, the Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention (CSRP) has undergone tremendous growth can capacity building in the past three years. In this first e-newsletter, we are proud to share with you our latest works, and encourage you to subscribe and share this email to keep informed of our upcoming plans, including a new website to examine social aspects of suicide prevention.
Our endeavor in surveillance of suicides and monitoring suicide prevention efforts in the community continues. Given the emergence of new channels for sharing news and information in this digital age, we put a strong focus on prevention efforts in the media, especially with online platforms. Most notable work includes the release of the newest “Recommendation on Suicide Reporting and Online Information Dissemination for Media Professionals” and our engagement with the largest search engine in Mainland China, Baidu, in designing effective preventive strategies of self-harm and suicides. It is encouraging to witness the improvement of media reporting by media professionals and the new initiatives of internet companies for suicide prevention.
Our education team’s dedication to the promotion and enhancement of mental health education among children and adolescents in schools is commendable. Our Centre has set up a Quality Thematic Network (QTN) supported by the Quality Education Fund to promote the wellbeing of our school children. We empathize with every case of youth suicide in recent years and see the unequivocal importance of investing in primary prevention as early as possible to help build mental resilience of our citizens.
Also, we have broadened our research for suicides and self-harm behaviours by examining the challenges brought to our citizens by various social issues, such as poverty, drug abuse and workplace injuries. This work is instrumental in designing proper and timely assistance for groups at risk.
2016 will be an exciting year to see continued progress in our work on a wider scale, including promoting wellbeing in our community. Let’s stay connected and make Hong Kong a kinder and happier place!
Paul Yip, Director of the HKJC Centre for Suicide Research and Prevention

The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) is expected to concentrate on financial inclusion in 2021 and more solely on general equality in the scheme of financial inclusion plus payments. State Bank of Pakistan will also have to make its stance clearer on cryptocurrencies in addition to deepening digital payments.
In both of these sectors, banks and other financial institutions will see more regulatory requirements and have to ensure enforcement. In supporting green banking, the central bank is also expected to become more constructive.
But whether the central bank gains the desired autonomy depends on whether the government, especially the strong establishment, will allow this to happen or find a way to postpone the process.
The SBP has fully exercised its newly discovered right to preserve market-based exchange rates in 2020. The fiscal and monetary authorities worked closely together on the required interest rate relief for Covid-19.
The market-based exchange rate setting is certain to continue over the next year, and interest rate setting will also remain the jurisdiction of the monetary policy committee of the central bank with justifiable government inputs.
The SBP’s push to develop foreign exchange reserves remained embedded in its own strategy of improving external payment coverage in 2020 as well as in the “national strategic need” resulting from the unpredictable geopolitical situation. In 2021, it is expected that the development of these reserves will continue.
And that means that the SBP and the government will continue to make joint efforts in 2021 to make the most of external debt rescheduling, to control the new increase in external debt and liabilities, and to achieve a strong and sustainable growth in non-debt inflows through exports, remittances and foreign investment.
In 2020, the SBP ensured that the government would adhere to the central bank’s strategy of making no new borrowings. This scheme, adopted by the SBP on the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) insistence, cannot be reversed in 2021 because it is still owned by the government for obvious economic reasons.
The government’s borrowing from commercial banks remained enormous in 2020 as it proceeded to remove previously received SBP loans and fixed fiscal gaps in the national budget. In 2021, if its efforts to increase non-bank borrowing from the revised national savings regime succeed, the size of government borrowing from commercial banks will decrease, the tax base will be increased and tax revenue will increase sub-bank borrowing.
Negative economic growth of 0.4% in 2020 decreased demand for private-sector bank credit. But even the reduced demand struggled to be met by banks as government borrowing squeezed out the private sector. In 2021, the SBP will have to ensure that credit demand from the private sector is completely met. The disbursement of concessional post-pandemic loans accepted in 2020 would help raise net private-sector credit in 2021.
A robust government-launched initiative to support the housing sector may also help boost private-sector loans’ overall off-take. The mortgage financing of banks contracted in 2020 due to negative GDP growth and lockdowns caused by Covid-19. Now, the SBP is setting banks mandatory mortgage loan targets.
If all goes well, in 2021, the central bank is expected to persuade the government to eradicate legal constraints by making inflation the anchor of its monetary policy rather than following the twin objectives of maintaining price stability and economic growth.
Even after leaving the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list, which seems to be quite a possibility in 2021, Pakistan as a state will have to ensure that its financial system is immune to all attempts at money laundering and terrorist funding and remains immune.

Pack your bags because 4G technology is finally on its way out. Chinese company Huawei seems to admit to this mentality, as it took on stage today to deliver a presentation exclusively pinpointed to discuss the brand’s 5G future.
The news came as the company’s Executive Director Ryan Ding took 2019’s Mobile World Congress’ stage to announce the company’s new 4K video on demand service on its brand new foldable Mate X, which of course was powered by the latest state of the art 5G technology.
“The Wave of 5G is sweeping the globe”
“The wave of 5G is sweeping the globe, giving us a better life empowered by new technologies. At the same time, the Gbit/s-level connections enabled by 5G and the monetization of experience fueled by CloudX services give global carriers new business opportunities.” said Ding during the presentation, emphasising the company’s vision in delivering a inner-connected technology future.
Beyond 5G however, the devices Huawei featured at MWC came as just as much of a surprise. Featuring a two-fold 8inch OLED display, the foldable Mate X comes promptly to market in order to battle Samsung’s recently announced Galaxy Fold.
Unlike the Galaxy Fold, Huawei’s foldable Mate X will feature the company’s in-house Kirin 980, but most importantly, the company has implemented a different folding mechanism to that of Samsung’s Galaxy Fold, allowing for the foldable Mate X (despite of being a mouthful) to be the thinnest foldable yet to reach market, coming in at only 11 centimetres when folded.
Like the Samsung Galaxy Fold, however, we don’t expect either device will reach the wide public, not only for the fact that both are inevitably the first generation, but also that both come in at over $2000, enough money to buy not only one but two of Apple’s already pricey iPhone XS.
The Huawei Foldable Mate X is expected to launch mid-2019 and will be priced at $2600 for its entry 8GB Ram 512GB memory variant.
