what's possible and suddenly you are doing THE IMPOSSIBLE” – Francis
The W.H.O states that globally 2.4 billion people are
currently affected by conditions that would benefit from rehabilitation and
highlights rehabilitation to be an essential
part of universal health coverage. Rehabilitation is defined as- “a set of interventions designed to optimize
functioning and reduce disability in individuals with health conditions in

continue to criticize the reporters who had farewell drinks with outgoing
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Here’s
a good takedown by New York Magazine’s Sarah Jones.
SUNLIGHT IS THE BEST DISINFECTANT: Both as a law student and a guest speaker I felt unwelcome at Yale. Ted Cruz’s investigation can be a step toward increasing true diversity and tolerance.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. Dalai Lama warns that the whole of Europe could become ‘Muslim or African’ if migrants are not returned to their home countries.
“More than 100 cops in St. Louis and Philadelphia under investigation for offensive social media posts.”
I’m wondering where the stupid idea that people are inherently good got started. Until fairly (in historical terms) recently, everyone understood that the basic rule of human conduct was, as Thucydides put it, “The strong do what they can, the weak suffer what they must.” Was it Rosseau? Marx? And why would anyone believe humans were inherently good when all of human history shows the opposite?
A few years ago I chatted with a taxi driver in Atlanta who told me he had just gotten out of prison, where he served time for peddling dope. Happily he had undergone “therapy.” I asked him what kind. He responded, “All kinds— depth-psychology, transactional analysis, but what I liked best was Gestalt.” Some of the German ideas did not even require English words to become the language of the people. What an extraordinary thing it is that high-class talk from what was the peak of Western intellectual life, in Germany, has become as natural as chewing gum on American streets. It indeed had its effect on this taxi driver. He said that he had found his identity and learned to like himself. A generation earlier he would have found God and learned to despise himself as a sinner. The problem lay with his sense of self, not with any original sin or devils in him. We have here the peculiarly American way digesting Continental despair. It is nihilism with a happy ending. | <urn:uuid:090d9324-6ca4-413f-99d4-a44e0efc58de> | {

Last week, New Republic contributing editor, Yossi Klein Halevi, came to town. I was surprised to see other La Cañadans in the crowd when Halevi spoke at Valley Beth Shalom synagogue in Encino, but on further reflection, my reaction was misplaced. La Cañada Flintridgians are a well-read and inquisitive group. Plus, the event was free.
I went to the event with a friend from Pasadena.
To get to Encino, we took the 210 to the 118 to the 405and avoided the traffic on the 2 to the 134 to the 101, as depicted on my Sprint Centro real time Google Map.
When we arrived, the parking lots were full, the auditorium was full, but we found seats in the back.
There are times when a world class speaker comes to town and the audience just says, "Wow." Yossi Klein Halevi is that kind of guy.
Halevi is an American-born and educated journalist who moved to Israel in 1982. He is the author of several books on Israeli culture and politics. He has been a contributor to both the New York and our mother ship, the Los Angeles Times. He currently is a Fellow at the Shalom Hartman Institute, a Jerusalem-based research center.
Halevi has street cred due to his activities in Arab-Jewish reconciliation efforts in the Middle East, and related educational projects. His efforts to "to pray and meditate with my Christian and Muslim fellow believers," are reflected in his book, At the Entrance to the Garden of Eden: A Jew's Search for God with Christians and Muslims in the Holy Land.
Because he is active in reconciliation efforts, Halevi actually listens to others, a habit not often seen in U.S. media. His comments on the recent "Ground Zero" or "Park Avenue" Mosque dispute were clearly critical without personal attacks, and left room for further dialogue.
If there is reconciliation in the Middle East in our lifetimes, it will be due to the involvement of people like Halevi.
Halevi gave an anecdote of his interactions with a Jordanian official who said that the Jews do not need a nation, that just as there are Arab Christians and Arab Muslims, there have always been Arab Jews, and the Jews are merely a religion and not a nation. Halevi told us that this is a common view in the Arab world.
In response, Halevi countered that there are Jewish atheists, Jewish agnostics, and Jews with a variety of religious perspectives, therefore there is Israel is a Jewish nation and that the Jewish narrative is equally deserving of recognition as other narratives. He made the point that at the core of the Middle East struggle is the refusal to recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state.
In his remarks to us, Halevi made the distinction between "peace" and "reconciliation." He said that Yasser Arafat, the late chairman of the PLO, had a vision for peace in the Middle East. Once Israel was destroyed, there would be "peace."
For Halevi, "peace" is not the only goal. The goal is reconciliation.
There was a lot to think about as we drove home. We took Ventura Boulevard to Coldwater Canyon, to the 101, to the 134. On the satellite radio, cable news shows featured talking heads interrupting one another. Charlie Rangel. TSA enhanced searches. The move to defunding NPR. Charlie Rangel. Bristol Palin. The White House. Not much news about the Middle East. No news at all about Yossi Klein Halevi.
We turned off the radio and continued to talk.
Tower of Tuna count, as of Tuesday: 58. Readers are invited to add one or more cans of tuna to the tower being built in the Valley Sun lobby. The food will be donated to a pantry in North Hollywood that serves people in need. To drop-off your donation, stop by our office, 727 Foothill Blvd., La Cañada, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Great people. I love how my car came out. I would definitely recommend them.
What a professional job! I'm amazed!! And Scott's shop is immaculate, which speaks volumes to me about the quality of his work. He tinted my windows and sprayed in a bed liner in my 2024 Chevy Silverado. I'm very, very pleased and highly recommend this place.
fast AND excellent service highly recommend
Awesome place great work cool people
Everyone is super friendly and knowledgeable. I've probably had 10 cars tinted there so far and all have come out great. They also do bedliners, ceramic coats, and leather conversions. When I have the money saved up, I want to get my entire Jeep rhino-lined there.
Have used them for tint on several vehicles. Always professional and excellent work!
Friendly staff who are very knowledgeable about what they are doing! Prices are not horrible, but if you think it is expensive, know you get what you pay for! Thanks Scott!!!
Twice I've used Axx to tint the windows in my new vehicles and twice they've exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
Fantastic service, pricing and quality of work!!! 15/10 would recommend for any of your tinting service!!
I highly recommend the pros at AXXSTech! DJ did an amazing job on the ceramic coating for my Q7, and I really appreciated the time he took afterwards to explain the process and tips on follow on care. I would absolutely go to them again!
DJ was incredibly professional, thorough, and knowledgeable when I got my ceramic coating on my car. I would 10/10 do business again in the future.
Did an excellent job on my truck, had them do a spray-in bedliner and tint the front windows. Looks like a brand-new truck. Couldn't be more pleased with the service and price point.
LLumar automotive window tint gives you a fresh new look, heat-rejecting power, and the exterior protection you need to pull up looking your best.
Best place around. You will not be disappointed. | <urn:uuid:8459deb7-9e13-466b-a7c2-01a653a92676> | {

Barkham Blue |
Do nagród zgłoszono ponad 900 serów! Liczba nowych, niezależnych producentów rośnie tu z dnia na dzień, i nie ma chyba kraju, który pod tym względem może się równać z Wielką Brytanią.
Do serów brytyjskich pałam niekłamanym afektem, dlatego pisałam o nich już kilka razy: tu o tym, jak Alex James z zespołu Blur zamienił charlie* na cheese (BTW, recenzowana w tym wpisie książka zdobyła tytuł najlepszej książki o serach na ww. rozdaniu nagród), a tu o tym, że kornwalijski ser pleśniowy Cornish Blue zdobył w 2010 roku tytuł Najlepszego Sera na Świecie. O tym, jak ważną rolę odgrywa Cheddar i prawdziwej rewolucji serowej, dzięki której Wielka Brytania to nie tyle kraj mlekiem i miodem, co serem stojący, pisałam też tutaj.
Doskonałym źródłem informacji nt. serów brytyjskich jest strona British Cheese Board, organizacji, która zrzesza producentów sera i zajmuje się jego promocją. Jeśli szukacie sklepów oferujących największy wybór gatunków, polecam dwie renomowane sieci: La Fromagerie oraz Neal's Yard Dairy - obie prowadzą też sprzedaż internetową. Jednak nawet stoiska serowe w tutejszych supermarketach (szczególnie w tym z wyższej półki, Waitrose) są przyzwoicie zaopatrzone.
Tak się składa, że do serów pasuje też kolejne hasło na C, czyli chutney (widziałam już też spolszczenie "czatnej"). To wywodzący się z subkontynentu indyjskiego gęsty dżemopodobny produkt - od dżemu różni go dodatek cebuli i/lub czosnku, musztardy, octu i pikantnych przypraw. Sporządzany z różnych owoców i warzyw, w smaku może się wahać od bardzo pikantnego do łagodnego, wręcz słodkiego. Brytyjczycy bardzo sobie czatneje upodobali i zwykle podają je do deski serów. Niektóre znakomicie komponują się też z wędlinami czy pieczonym mięsem. Przepisy na nie łatwo znaleźć, także na polskich blogach, ale tym z Was, którzy wolą kupić gotowy, polecam wyroby marki Tracklements, które są w UK łatwo dostępne.
Ta sama firma produkuje też coś w rodzaju skrzyżowania czatneja i marmolady - żeby Was jeszcze bardziej skonfudować, dodam, że ów produkt nosi nazwę... cheese. Nazwa stąd, że jest to dodatek do serów, ale jest to b. gęsta marmolada, robiona z dwóch rodzajów owoców, których nie je się nigdy na surowo: śliwek - damaszek (damsons) oraz pigwy (pigiew? quinces).
Często jemy właśnie tak - oatcake lub krakers, kawałek sera i damson cheese lub chutney - pyszne co nieco |
Zarówno damson cheese, jak i quince cheese bardzo polecam - czasami, z wyjątkowej okazji, urządzamy sobie ucztę serową: kilka wyśmienitych serów, do tego znakomite szkockie oatcakes i różne rodzaje krakersów (jest tu ogromny wybór), czatneje i damson lub quince cheese, plus dobre wino. I czujemy, że jesteśmy w (serowym) raju.

Q1. What are the basic import customs clearance procedures?
The basic import customs clearance procedures are as follows:
The Indonesian Customs Service classifies importers into three levels: Priority, Green, and Red, and applies differentiated customs clearance procedures when clearing imports. Priority Channel is a rating given to companies with the highest credit rating as assessed by the Korea Customs Service, and allows customs clearance without inspection before paying import taxes. However, in the following cases, customs clearance is completed after cargo inspection.
- When importing items classified as high risk
- When importing temporary import cargo
- When importing re-import cargo
- When importing cargo designated as controlled items by government ministries
Green Channel is cleared through customs without customs clearance documents or cargo inspection after payment of import tax.
Red Channel is cleared through customs after payment of import taxes and completion of customs clearance documents and cargo inspection. Abolition of the existing Yellow Channel (as of April 22, 2022)
Documents for import customs clearance
- Divided into required and supplementary documents.
Required documents |
Supporting documents |
In principle, all required documents must be original. |
Auxiliary documents are submitted upon customs request during customs clearance screening and are used as the main basis for import value screening and tariff rate application. |
- Original Bill of Lading
- Delivery Order (cargo delivery instruction)
- Invoice, Packing List
- Insurance Policy (cargo insurance)
- FTA certificate of origin
(When FTA application customs clearance is in progress) |
- Sales Contract
- Purchase Order
- Remittance Slip / Bank Statement
- Catalog / Specification |
The types of import taxes payable upon import are as follows, and since the applicable taxes differ for each item, you must check the tax rate according to the HS code before payment.
- Import Duty: Bea Masuk
- Value Added Tax (VAT): PPN (Pajak Pertambahan Nilai)
- Corporate Tax in advance: PPH22 (Pajak Penghasilan Pasal 22)
- 특별소비세(Sales Tax on Luxury Goods): Value Added Tax on Luxury Goods
- Excise: Cukai
The import tax calculation method is as follows, and cargo insurance must be secured and submitted at the time of import customs clearance.
- Import tariff = customs value (CIF) × tariff rate
- Value added tax = (duty amount + import tariff) × 110%
- Corporate tax = (taxable amount + import tariff) × 2.5% (or 7.5% / 10%)
- Special excise tax = (taxable amount + import tariff) × special excise tax rate
- Physical Inspection: We conduct a 100% inspection of all products, and if items not specified in the shipping documents are discovered, customs duties and administrative fines will be imposed.
Q2. Is there a way to find out if the product I wish to export to Indonesia is subject to import restrictions in Indonesia?
Whether there are import restrictions or bans on items to be exported to Indonesia is subject to approval.
You can check this through the Indonesia Customs Service portal site (www.insw.go.id). Through this site, you can also check the required certification types and taxes for export items.
However, if it is not confirmed through the above portal site or is unclear, we recommend that you request separate confirmation from the buyer. Confirmation is also possible through KOTRA's overseas market research service, so please use it.
Q3. I am trying to file a customs declaration to import goods, but the 8-digit HS number exported from Korea does not exist in Indonesia. In this case, how should I report the HS code classification?
The first 6 digits of the HS code are common throughout the world, but the last 6 digits are different for each country. You can check the Indonesian HS code of the item you wish to export through the Indonesian Customs Service portal site (www.insw.go.id).
If you search the 6-digit HS code here, you can search sub-Indonesian codes and items for that HS code. Then, you can find the item with the sub-code corresponding to the first 6 digits searched for, and then find the HS code that matches the imported item.
However, if confirmation is not possible or is unclear through the above portal site, you can request confirmation from the buyer or confirm and investigate through KOTRA's overseas market research service. When using the overseas market research service, search for ‘KOTRA overseas market research service’ in the search box to check detailed information.
Q4. The same product was exported to the buyer twice. The first time was cleared through customs without a problem, but during the second time of customs clearance, the customs office informed me that the HS code was inappropriate and asked me to collect customs duties and pay an administrative fine for inappropriate application of the HS code. received. In this case, we would like to inquire about a solution.
In this case, there is a high probability that customs cleared customs without properly reviewing it during the first customs clearance. Afterwards, during the second customs clearance, it is discovered that the HS code of the item was entered incorrectly, and if an additional fee is requested, there is no choice but to pay it.
However, if you believe there were no problems with your import declaration, you can request a reconsideration with the Korea Customs Service along with relevant data. The exact HS code is provided by the Korea Customs Service.
Please note that you can check with your local government or customs office.
Q5. Can the import customs clearance process be carried out by the exporter rather than the importer? When a Korean company exports to Indonesia, import customs clearance in Indonesia is not possible in the name of the Korean exporter. Import customs clearance requires local import permission from Indonesia.
This is because it is only possible for one company. Generally, these are the B/L, invoice, and packing list that Indonesian importers request to be sent to exporters. Please note that the certificate of origin based on the FTA agreement is also required for procedures such as tariff exemption.
If a Korean exporter needs to directly handle Indonesian import customs clearance, they may consider establishing a local corporation and importing through that corporation.
Q6. It is said that the Mutual Recognition Agreement for Excellent Export and Import Safety Management (AEO) between Korea and Indonesia will come into effect. If you are recognized as an AEO company, I would like to know what benefits you can receive when clearing customs in Indonesia.
On June 30, 2022, the “Korea-Indonesia Export and Import Safety Management Excellent Company Mutual Recognition Agreement” came into effect. This system provides benefits such as reduced customs inspection and expedited customs clearance during the import and export process to companies certified by the Korea Customs Service, and is being introduced in 97 countries around the world. A mutual recognition agreement refers to an agreement between customs authorities that allows a company to be recognized as a certified company in the other country and receive benefits from customs clearance procedures in that country. Korea began negotiations with Indonesia in April 2019, and signed the Mutual Recognition Agreement in February 2020, which officially entered into force on June 30, 2022.
Once the mutual recognition agreement goes into effect, certified companies from both countries will receive benefits such as reduced inspection rates and priority customs clearance at the customs office of the exporting partner country, which will reduce the time required for customs clearance. Korea has mutual recognition agreements with 22 countries, including the United States, China, and Japan, and trade volume with these countries accounts for more than 70%, so exporting companies will receive a lot of help when utilizing the “Mutual Recognition Agreement for Excellent Export and Import Safety Management Companies.” You will be able to.
Q7. Are there any customs clearance issues if manufactured in a third country other than Korea and then exported to Indonesia?
If you are an exporter (Korea), manufacturer (China), or importer (Indonesia), you can issue and apply a certificate of origin in accordance with the ASEAN-China FTA agreement when producing products in China and exporting them to Indonesia.
The precautions for this type of business between three countries are that when receiving a FORM-E, a certificate of origin issued for products originating from China, the Korean exporter must be specified on the FORM-E, and the invoice between the three countries, i.e. the Korean exporter, must be specified. , the invoice must contain the Invoice Number issued by the Korean exporter. It must also be marked as Third Party Invoicing.
Q8. What are the main causes of problems with customs clearance, and what are the solutions if a problem occurs?
Generally, for sea freight sent from Korea, it takes about 10 days to reach an Indonesian port, and for air freight, it takes about 7 hours. In cases where customs clearance is delayed, customs clearance may usually be delayed when defects are discovered in the shipping documents submitted by the importer or when cargo is inspected. Customs clearance is usually completed within 1 to 3 days after payment of import taxes.
If customs clearance is delayed, you can inquire with the customs clearance company that requested customs clearance, or visit the customs office and request a meeting with a customs clearance officer. The reason for the delay can be confirmed through the interview. If the delivery period for a product sent by mail such as EMS is delayed, tracking is possible through the EMS registration number.
If customs clearance of cargo is on hold during import customs clearance, you must first visit the customs office for an interview to determine the reason. Most cases where customs clearance is withheld during import customs clearance occur due to discrepancies between shipping documents and cargo or failure to meet licensing requirements. After carrying out cargo inspection, if the actual cargo is different from the cargo on the customs clearance document, or if the quantity on the document is inconsistent with the actual quantity, customs clearance is often put on hold, and customs clearance is carried out without obtaining the license required for importing a specific cargo. It is also subject to import customs clearance hold. In many cases, cargo quantity discrepancies and cargo mismatches are usually cleared through customs duties and administrative fines. However, if the relevant permits and permits required for import are not obtained, import customs clearance is usually required.
This is not permitted. In this case, you can submit a request for return processing to customs and receive approval before proceeding with the return process.
Q9. What is the pre-shipment inspection procedure?
- SUCOFINDO: Application agency for pre-shipment inspection of mechanical equipment
- KSO SUCOFINDO: Organization that applies for pre-shipment inspection of items excluding machinery and equipment
Among Indonesian imported cargo, there is cargo that can only be cleared through customs after undergoing a pre-shipment inspection (Laporan Surveyor). Most cargoes require professional verification, and customs clearance is only possible when shipped after conducting a cargo survey at the shipping inspection agency. In the event of a pre-shipment inspection, the application and reception organizations are as follows.
Upon receiving approval after completing the application for cargo inspection at the pre-shipment inspection application agency, the exporter at the shipping location consults with the inspector of the designated cargo inspection agency to confirm the cargo inspection date and completes the export shipment after the cargo inspection.
Indonesian importers who have applied for pre-shipment inspection receive a cargo inspection report from the relevant agency, specify the pre-shipment inspection report number on the import declaration form at the time of customs clearance, and, if necessary, submit the pre-shipment inspection report to customs to proceed with customs clearance.
The approximate sequence of pre-shipment inspection progress is as follows:
Importer's first registration on the Indonesian inspection agency SUCOFINDO website (import permit, etc.)
Company corporate documents required) |
3 days |
ID/Password granted upon completion of application |
After receiving ID/Password, apply for online pre-shipment inspection based on Packing list and Invoice (Verification Request) and Verification Order are issued and delivered to shipping location) |

An inspection cost estimate will be sent from Suconfindo, and after payment, SUCOFIN-DO/KSO Suconfindo will send the inspection agency to the shipping location.
Notification of inspection request to |
Inspection carried out and completed at the shipping point |
Designated inspection agency |
Within 7 days |
1. The application form is sent by email to the exporter’s representative at the shipping point of SUCOFINDO.
- After filling out and submitting the application, you will receive an inspection schedule (inspection is usually conducted within 1 week after submitting the application)
2. Inspection is usually completed on the same day
3. The inspector prepares the product name, country of origin, HS code, etc., and the inspection results and sends them to Indonesia for inspection.

Q10.Is there an import quota system in Indonesia?
The system that acts as an import quota to control the amount of imported goods is the pre-import permit system. The Indonesian name for the islands is Persetujuan Impor, abbreviated as PI. Main target items include steel, textiles, horticultural crops, tires, energy-related products, and forestry-related products. Therefore, before importing by a buyer or local corporation (trading company, etc.), you must check whether the item you wish to import is subject to prior import permission before importing it.

Q11. We plan to import raw materials for export from a local Indonesian manufacturing corporation, not a bonded company. In this case, is it possible to be exempt from import taxes and permits?
If imported goods are used for export, import tariffs may be deferred or refunded, but registration and approval as a KITE company must be completed. Once registered as a KITE company, you can benefit from import tariff exemption and value-added tax deferral when importing raw materials for export.
Items registered as KITE by a non-bonded import company and approved as export raw materials are subject to approved import quotas and pre-shipment inspection exemption. However, some items require import quotas even if they become KITE, so detailed confirmation is required before import.
If a KITE company wants to pay import tariffs, clear customs, export products, and receive a refund of import tariffs, the procedure is as follows.
Q12. Do I have to pay customs duties when goods are imported into a bonded area? A bonded area refers to a place where the payment of import taxes is deferred when goods are imported into a bonded area. When overseas goods are imported, they must be placed in Indonesia’s bonded area.
During the period in which the goods are stored, payment of import tax is deferred, and when finished products are made from imported goods and exported, the obligation to pay import tax is lifted.
However, among the raw and subsidiary materials imported by companies located in bonded areas for the production of goods for domestic consumption in Indonesia, import taxes must be paid. Indonesia's bonded areas are as follows, and goods imported into the bonded areas are exempt from various permits.
- When importing raw materials for export, the payment of import taxes is bonded, and after export, the final tax exemption is processed through customs audit.
- A bonded corporation located in a bonded area can sell domestically up to 50% of the previous year's export performance (overseas exports/domestic bonded zone/domestic free trade zone).
- Types of bonded areas in Indonesia
- Bonded Company
- Bonded Industrial Zone
- Bonded Warehouse*
- Bonded Exhibition Place
- Duty Free Shop
- Bonded Auction Place
- Bonded Recycling Area
- Bonded Logistic Center**
* Bonded Warehouse: Bonded Warehouse (Gudang Berikat) can store imported cargo such as raw materials in a bonded state for up to one year and allows for simple tasks such as sorting and packing, making it an industry suitable for VMI (VENDER MANAGEMENT INVENTORY).
(▼Types of bonded warehouse)
▶GUDANG BERIKAT: Cargo is imported in a bonded state, no work other than packing and sorting is allowed, and it must be supplied to customers in the imported condition.
▶PUSAT LOGISTIK BERIKAT: Cargo is imported in a bonded state, but operations such as repackaging and sorting can be performed internally, so it is operated more flexibly than GUDANG BERIKAT.
- Cargo (finished products) from general companies can be imported and stored in a bonded state at PUSAT LOGISTIK BERIKAT, and if necessary, repackaged, reclassified, etc. for customs clearance and export after payment of taxes.
** Bonded Logistics Center: The Bonded Logistics Center (Pusat Logistik Berikat) is similar to a bonded warehouse, but finished products can be stored in a bonded state for up to 3 years, and tasks such as sorting, packing, and partial export are possible, and imports from outside the customs area are possible. Allows storage of one good or goods imported from another place within the Indonesian taxation area. Temporary storage (up to 3 years) of imported goods and goods scheduled for export is possible.
As part of its economic revitalization policy, the Indonesian government announced regulations on bonded logistics centers (PER-01/BC/2016) to create a logistics hub in Southeast Asia.
Q13. A local corporation wants to import infrastructure-related equipment and use it for the infrastructure project it is participating in. It is a capital product scheduled to be exported to Korea in the future. Can it be exempted from import tax and licensing?
You can take advantage of the temporary import cargo customs clearance system (Impor Sementara). This system is a system that grants import tariff exemption or import tariff reduction benefits to cargo that will be re-exported within a fixed period after confirming the period of use of imported cargo. The maximum permit period is 3 years. Therefore, it is a useful system that can exempt or reduce import taxes for cargo that requires temporary import, such as the import of construction equipment for domestic infrastructure construction companies in Indonesia. Applications for temporary import cargo can be made through the competent customs office.
Indonesian Minister of Finance Decree 178/PMK. Overview of the temporary import cargo customs clearance system on 04/2017 (revised 106/PMK.04/2019), application procedures, approval conditions, main benefits, import duty-free cargo, import tariff reduction cargo, related precautions, temporary import cargo containers It contains information on conditions for cancellation of government approval, submission of collateral for import tariff exemption, and recovery of collateral.
Approval for temporary import cargo must be non-consumable and non-deformable. Additionally, the type of cargo must be the same at the time of initial import and export (re-export). You can apply only if the purpose of use of the product is clear and proof of export (re-export) is provided. Companies utilizing this system are exempt from import regulations such as licenses for products required for import, and cargo subject to import tariff exemption can receive benefits such as import tariff exemption, value-added tax (special tax) exemption, and corporate tax exemption.
In addition, cargo subject to import tariff reduction must pay 2% of the import tariff amount every month during the temporary import period, and payment of value-added tax (special tax) and corporate tax exemption are possible. The same benefits as above are granted when importing parts related to temporary import cargo (equipment). And the tax exemption/reduction amount must be submitted as collateral to customs.
Import duty-free cargo (import duties, value-added tax, corporate tax) includes exhibition cargo, performance equipment, sports or various competition supplies, cargo transportation packaging materials and tools, tourist boats (yachts), animals, and disaster relief equipment (goods). ), cargo for the Army, Navy, Air Force and police, merchant ships and fishing vessels, aircraft and helicopters, personal cargo for passengers and crew, cargo for national projects imported through loans or donations, international passenger or cargo transport, containers, etc.
Import tariff reduction cargo (2% of import tariff amount paid monthly, value-added tax paid, corporate tax exempted) includes machinery for production or infrastructure construction, repair equipment, and testing equipment.
However, there are some things to keep in mind when proceeding with temporary import cargo. Firstly, when partial import is carried out, the permit period is calculated based on the initial import cargo. Second, the import must be made within 3 months from the date of approval, and if the period is exceeded, the approval effect is lost.
In addition, if the cargo is moved arbitrarily without the approval of the competent customs office, if the cargo is used for a purpose other than the original permission, and if the cargo exceeds the permission limit, it will not be recognized as a temporary import cargo, so it will not be possible to pay the import tax benefited at the time of import. You must be careful as you may be subject to administrative fines.
When importing import tax-exempt cargo, collection of collateral submitted to customs is possible only in the following cases.
When using this system, you must apply for a re-export permit to the competent customs office at least 30 days before the expiration of the temporary import cargo customs clearance permit, but it is recommended to proceed with the re-export procedure at least 2 months before the expiration period. This is because import taxes and fines will be imposed if re-export is not completed within the permit expiration period. The standard for imposing fines is 100% of the import tariff to be paid, which is a huge burden on companies, so you must carefully understand the regulations in advance to avoid being fined.
This system appears to be useful for construction companies or manufacturers.
Q14. I would like to make a donation to the Indonesian government, school, religious facility, etc. In this case, do I still need to obtain all certification required for customs clearance?
If you wish to proceed with donated goods, this is only possible if it is an aid project between central ministries. Therefore, it is realistically impossible to send cargo as a donation from an individual company in Korea to an individual company (or corporation/organization) in Indonesia without certification.
Therefore, there are two ways to proceed. The first is to obtain the relevant license (SNI certification) from a company located in Indonesia and then proceed with the formal import procedure and then donate to an organization or corporation. The second is to donate to an organization or corporation. This is done through donation cargo through the Indonesian central government. In this case, an import permit is not required and taxes and various permits are exempted. If you choose the first method, despite its good intentions, you must obtain a difficult certification called SNI, Indonesia's national standard certification. It costs a lot and the process is complicated. Therefore, we recommend the second method rather than the first, and for this, it is important to search for an appropriate central government agency in Korea.
Q15. Sam♘ How should I do customs clearance?
Most samples must also go through normal import customs clearance procedures. If samples are sent via express freight, import duties are exempted only for USD 3.-(FOB) or less. Therefore, in most cases, sample customs clearance is not possible. In addition, since products subject to licensing can only be cleared through customs if they meet the requirements for licensing, it is difficult to expect virtually tariff-free sample customs clearance.
When sending a sample, first check with the importer and the license section, and if it is a non-exchange transaction,
Even in this case, the normal value of the sample must be specified before customs clearance to prevent disadvantages due to customs arbitrarily setting the import value.
Q16. What should I do if I want to bring Sam♘ to Indonesia to use at an exhibition, but it is too bulky to hand carry?
The condition that must be observed when using the above temporary import cargo customs clearance system is that the imported product must be re-exported without any changes in its physical properties. Therefore, this does not apply to products imported for the purpose of selling or tasting, or any other activity that may modify the product. For short-term exhibition purposes, a carnet is more useful. In other words, it is useful to use the temporary import cargo customs clearance system for cargo that is expensive and must actually be used, such as equipment for construction companies or machinery for manufacturers, while carnets are considered better for simple exhibitions and buyer samples.
Indonesia is a carnet agreement country that has joined the ATA agreement and can utilize the system. Carnet application and issuance are done through the web. When you access the 'Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry Trade Certification Service Center (http://cert.korcham.net)' and fill out the application form on the web screen, the issuing person will review it and request corrections or approve issuance. Issuance is completed when the user pays the issuance fee. Since the original certificate with the issuing agency's seal must be submitted when clearing a carnet, you must visit the issuing agency in person or receive the original by mail. When visiting in person, it takes one day to receive the certificate after applying for issuance, and when receiving by mail, it takes about 3 days from the date of issuance.
Whether a product can be temporarily exported as a carnet is determined by determining (1) whether the product can be re-imported after being exported, and (2) whether the product can be re-imported in its original form when exported without modification. . Products that do not meet the above conditions are excluded from carnet coverage.
Items excluded from carnet are as follows:
Carnet is a security deed that replaces customs duties, value-added tax, security deposit, etc., and the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce guarantees the payment of duties, etc. due to non-compliance with re-export imposed by Indonesian customs, so the customs office of the importing country needs to take complicated measures to secure separate customs bonds. there is none.
The carnet validity period cannot be extended up to one year from the date of issuance, and even within the validity period, if the customs office of the importing country explicitly specifies a re-export period in the ATA carnet certificate, it must be re-exported within the same period.
Q17. I would like to purchase overseas directly or indirectly. Is it possible to use Indonesian e-commerce companies?
Cross Border Trade (abbreviated as CBT) is cross-border e-commerce that involves selling products to overseas customers through B2C online or through mobile devices. In other words, it means the combination of overseas direct purchase and reverse direct purchase markets. When an overseas consumer orders an overseas product through a local e-commerce platform, it is called overseas direct purchase, and when an overseas consumer purchases a product from an overseas internet shopping mall, it is called reverse direct purchase.
B2C Customs Clearance Overseas direct purchases of less than $3 (FOB basis) can be cleared customs without tax. However, if you wish to expand your transaction platform from online to offline transactions, that is, if you want to sell through an offline store in Indonesia, food, products that touch the human body, toys, infant and toddler products, etc. must obtain a Food and Drug Administration Certificate (BPOM) or an Indonesian National Standards Certification (SNI) is required.
According to an official at JD.ID, one of the e-commerce platforms capable of CBT operating in Indonesia, approximately 90% of Korean products are sold through CBT. According to our company, we use a local logistics company for logistics delivery. It directly connects overseas sellers with JD.ID-collaborating logistics companies, and logistics costs are said to be calculated separately from store entry fees. In the case of JD.ID, the logistics delivery method is where a logistics company receives e-commerce goods from overseas sellers and delivers them to the final consumer in Indonesia. For example, the seller of the product
After sending the product to a designated warehouse in Korea, the logistics company transports the product from Korea to Indonesia, and then JX (J-Express) or another logistics company delivers it to the final consumer. Air shipping is usually used because it is faster than sea shipping. JD.ID says that popular Korean products include fashion products, beauty products, skin care products, and products and foods related to lifestyle and hobbies.
Export Procedures in Korea
Recently, as e-commerce exports and imports have become more active, the Korea Customs Service has simplified the export declaration process so that ordinary individuals can use it conveniently. Export declaration items have been simplified, and bulk registration is possible in the electronic customs clearance system (UNIPASS).
To use the simplified export system, you must first report to customs as an e-commerce business. If an e-commerce business that has been reported as a mail order business wishes to register, it must apply for an e-commerce export business report to the competent customs office by mail or fax. The target goods are e-commerce goods worth less than 2 million won (FOB standard). If you file an export declaration under the simplified export system, your export performance will be recognized and you will be able to benefit from export support systems such as customs duty refunds, zero VAT rates, and trade finance. You can receive detailed guidance by contacting the customs clearance support department at your local customs office.
* Excluded items: Export goods pursuant to Article 226 of the Customs Act and Article 3 of [Notice on Designation of Goods and Confirmation Methods Confirmed by the Head of Customs in accordance with the provisions of Article 226 of the Customs Act], goods re-exported because they are different from the contract details, or goods subject to customs clearance and export under conditions of re-export. article
Import procedures in Indonesia (overseas direct purchase method)
Korean sellers can deliver goods through local e-commerce platforms through Indonesian import distributors or directly located on Indonesian e-commerce platforms. After a transaction contract is signed between Korean and Indonesian trading parties and payment procedures are completed, the Korean seller delivers the product to the collection point in Korea. Afterwards, the Indonesian distributor brings the products from the Korean distribution point to Indonesia via air delivery. Once customs clearance procedures are completed, the product will be delivered to the Indonesian warehouse.
In the case of online distribution, when an online sale is made, supporting documents are delivered to the warehouse manager. Warehouse staff locates the products, packages them, and delivers them to the final buyer through logistics couriers such as JNE, J&T express, and SICPEAT. If the local e-commerce platform where the distributor operates has a designated logistics company with which it has entered into a direct agreement, such company may be used.
For reference, the Indonesian government has mainly focused on importing raw materials and capital goods for domestic production in accordance with the contents of Finance Ordinance No. 272/PMK.04/2015, but the revised law, Finance Ordinance (PMK) No.28/2018, With this announcement, we have entered a new phase in bonded logistics window operations. The second bonded logistics warehouse is classified into large-scale industrial PLB, small and medium-sized industrial PLB, e-commerce PLB, basic product PLB, air baggage hub PLB, floating storage PLB, and finished product PLB.
* PLB: Bonded logistics warehouse
Article 4A of the Ministry of Finance Decree (PMK) No.28/2018 stipulates that e-commerce bonded logistics warehouses are to be used only as e-commerce platforms, and for this purpose, e-commerce platforms must be in a cooperative relationship with a bonded logistics warehouse operator. specified. Through this e-commerce platform, the Indonesian government systematically conducts customs audits of e-commerce products, whether product quantity matches, whether the product matches the relevant tariff, whether import/export regulations are complied with, and whether income/expenditure/inventory storage are appropriately reported. It is said that it is managed by .
Import duties are assessed as soon as the import is declared at customs, and the import value and tax classification of the product are implemented when the goods are shipped from the bonded logistics window, and the applicable tax must be paid. A company can decide whether to use a bonded logistics warehouse by considering the import size of the product and the benefits of using a bonded warehouse. In particular, the government expects that the larger the transaction size, the greater the effect in reducing logistics costs.
Q18. It has recently been said that Indonesia is regulating the import and export of major raw materials. Can you tell me about the legal background?
Indonesia, a 'resource-rich country', is continuing its policy of restricting exports of major raw materials, including enforcing export restrictions on palm oil in May 2022, following coal in January 2022. Because of this
International raw material prices have also soared.
A ban on exports of bauxite and copper ore, which are materials for electric batteries, is expected from June next year. This is a result of the Indonesian government's policy to create high added value by transforming the country from a simple exporter of raw materials to an exporter of finished products and semi-finished products processed from raw materials.
Resource-rich Indonesia has often taken measures in the past to restrict raw material exports when necessary. At the end of 2019, we completely suspended nickel ore exports. At the time, Indonesian nickel accounted for 25% of the world's supply, so the price of nickel ore rose sharply worldwide, and battery producers entered Indonesia by establishing factories to solve supply and demand problems. Indonesia, the world's second-largest coal exporter, implemented a complete ban on coal exports in January this year. Indonesia's power shortage occurred as coal producers reduced domestic supply and increased exports under a price cap system. Additionally, in May, exports of palm oil and raw materials were suspended to stabilize domestic cooking oil prices. Regarding this, President Joko Widodo said, “Since we stopped exporting nickel ore, the related export amount has increased more than 10 times,” and added, “I want to apply the success we have achieved in nickel to other raw materials such as bauxite, copper, tin, and gold.” I did it.
The government's policy of banning the export of raw materials, especially mining products, is implemented as an important means of increasing Indonesia's economic growth. Due to the ban on raw material exports, Indonesia has become a major raw material producing country, with the aim of expanding the export of derivatives using these raw materials. Due to the ban on raw material exports, items exported overseas are no longer raw materials but semi-finished or finished products, which has the advantage of adding added value to products. It is also expected that employment will increase and tax revenues will increase. | <urn:uuid:96745a1f-dbbc-4709-a6a4-dfafd5c76c6c> | {

I've had two first year Biology lab sections to play with since September and I've had a lot of fun. I think they have too. On Monday morning after my first class I thought I'd check in to see what was on for Biology between 3 and 5pm that afternoon and I discovered that the material laid out in the manual was definitely not laid out on the bench. I believe standard practice under those circumstances is to shrug, apologise to the students and cancel class. We were meant to be looking at the anatomic structure of flowering plants, specifically comparing dicots [two seed leaves, leaves with netted veins, flower-parts in 4s and 5s - such as anenome (Ranunculus nemorosa), ash (Fraxinus excelsior), daisy (Bellis perennis)] with monocots [one seed-leaf, parallel-veined leaves, flower-parts in 3s and 6s -like bluebell (Hyachinthoides non-scripta), wheat (Triticum aestivum) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne)].
Eeeee when I were a lad, bluebells were called Scilla non-scripta. My first bio-mentor Mr Wilkinson told us that it was so named because the early taxonomists were trying to recreate the Utopian world of the Classics before the Dark Ages had obliterated 'civilisation'. If some plant was mentioned by Aristotle, his successor Theophrastus Θεόφραστος (author of Enquiry into Plants Περί φυτών ιστορία) or in Apicius' On Cooking De re Coquinaria, however sketchily described, then "av Gud" the new scientists in Sweden and Germany would find it. The Scilla of ancient Greece had a mark on the petals so distinctive that it had been recorded. Bluebells don't grow around the Mediterranean, but were the nearest match to Scilla in Northern Europe, so they were called Scilla-without-the-mark, Not to be confused with the Scots' bluebell Campanula rotundifolia especially as the latter is a dicot.
Someone suggested driving down the road to the garden centre and I thought of driving 40km home because the manual mentioned nasturtiums and part of the poly-tunnel is currently knee-deep in them. Then I twigged (duh!) that the Institute is on a sort of campus with flower-beds and is just across the road from a river with its own bank. I asked if anyone had a trowel I could borrow, so I could weed some of the flower-beds and use the spoil for educational purposes. Nobody had a trowel and I was about to go off and attack the earth with a plastic spoon from the canteen when a long-handled shovel was materialised. Armed thus I set off boldly into the chilly outdoors and soon enough filled a couple of xerox-box lids with a gallimaufry of small herbs: a dandelion-like member of the compositae, a pretty yellow-flowered crucifer and something that looked like shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris), which is also in the crucifer family, and at least 6 or 8 other species. And a couple of species of grass to hold the fort for monocots. Then I walked across the car-park and clipped some ornamental bamboo to show that monocots can be woody too.
Sure beats getting into a car and destroying the planet.
The lab was unexpectedly wonderful. My two mature students got stuck in with scapels, cutting transverse section of the root and stem of their plant - which promptly exuded a white sap: further evidence of its similarity to dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and made a beautiful prep stained the palest blue showing all the transport vessels. At the other end of the lab, I explained that crucifers are so called because of their little cross-shaped yellow flowers and that the family includes mustard. I hypothesised (it's a science class, so you're meant to do that at every opportunity) that the leaves should taste a little mustardy. The thought being the deed, one of the students promptly snagged off a leaf and scarfed it down chomp chomp. It didn't taste of much except "grass". She and her partner also produced an exquisite cross-section of the other dicot species, so we had two things to compare. Later on, Omnivore reported that there was a distinctly mustard after-taste. Of course, it is streng verboten to eat anything in the lab, but I didn't care. Finding stuff out trumps doctrinaire regulations. Good fun, a good day. | <urn:uuid:31403697-1c43-425f-9d1f-d0aa2507f405> | {

Wil jij je beter voor je mond zorgen? Kom dan voor controle. Er zijn dingen die u thuis kunt doen die u daarbij helpen. Slecht poetsen, tandenborstels niet op tijd vervangen, niet stoken en het eten van veel suikers en koolhydraten kunnen oorzaak zijn van slechte mondhygiëne. De symptomen zijn:
Wat doen jullie precies tijdens een periodieke tandcontrole?
Met een goede mondhygiëne kunt u zelf al veel tandheelkundige problemen voorkomen. Daarom adviseren wij om eens per half jaar voor een periodieke tandcontrole te komen. Tijdens deze controle is er ruimte om eventuele andere gezondheidsproblemen te bespreken, omdat deze ook van invloed zijn om de gezondheid van de mond. Wanneer er tijdens de controle eventuele gaatjes, of andere problemen, zichtbaar worden, dan gaat de tandarts samen met u een behandelplan maken. Ook de kosten van dit behandelplan worden met u besproken. Uiteraard in samenspraak met u gaan we over tot behandelen.
Heeft u een of meer mondklachten, dan kunt u het beste en afspraak met ons maken. Wij raden u aan elke 6 maanden op controle te komen.
Preventie neemt een belangrijke rol in tijdens de behandeling. Daarom zal de tandarts u zoveel mogelijk uitleggen over hoe u uw gebit, maar ook uw algehele gezondheid zo optimaal mogelijk kunt maken en behouden. Door lichaamsvriendelijke materialen te gebruiken, en een holistische benadering toe te passen, zorgen wij ervoor dat u de beste resultaten krijgt. Ook vinden we het belangrijk dat u zich op uw gemak voelt.
Wanneer noodzakelijk, zal de tandarts u medicatie voorschrijven
U kunt ervoor kiezen homeopathische middelen te gebruiken, die helpen bij uw wondgenezing, pijnbestrijding en angstreductie. Ze helpen u ook met het versterken van uw gebit en actief tegengaan van ontstekingen en tandbederf.
Wanneer bepaalde klachten een dieperliggende oorzaak hebben, kan de tandarts u eventueel doorverwijzen naar één van onze zorgpartners.

Embassy Statement, February 2000
Why the U.S. Congress should
support the Clinton Administration's proposed assistance package to Colombia
- Support for this initiative
is in both Colombia's and America's political and strategic interests.
Success against drug trafficking in source countries (Colombia accounts
for 80% of U.S. cocaine imports) will have real benefits to the United
- Drug trafficking is today
a global problem - one which requires a shared commitment by both
producing and consuming nations. The Clinton Administration's program
is a firm U.S. commitment to burden sharing.
- President Pastrana is
committed to the fight against drug trafficking in Colombia, and to
increasing U.S.-Colombian cooperation. (Earlier in his political career,
he was kidnapped by drug traffickers because of his outspoken opposition
to them.) The Pastrana Government is firmly united in its support
for implementing this program.
- Colombia will provide
the majority of funds to implement Plan Colombia - $4.0 billion in
new monies over five years. Colombia is asking the U.S. and the international
community to contribute an additional $3.5 billion. Colombia (and
its neighbors) do not have the resources to fight this battle alone.
The U.S. has to contribute, if we want to achieve real results in
reducing drug trafficking and its violence.
- The core elements of
Plan Colombia include: modernize and professionalize Colombia's armed
forces to dismantle drug trafficking organizations, and reduce overall
illegal drug production by 50% over five years; develop alternative
sources of employment and income for farmers in coca and poppy growing
regions; strengthen institutions of the State, including the judiciary
and law enforcement agencies; improve respect for human rights among
all sectors of the population; implement economic reforms designed
to produce long-term economic growth, a stable currency, increased
exports and lower unemployment; and advance the Colombian peace process
with guerrilla organizations.
- The U.S. assistance package
will contribute to Colombia's economic recovery. Colombia is currently
experiencing its worst economic recession in 70 years. Colombia is
a major trade and investment partner of the United States. It is home
to more than $7 billion in U.S. direct foreign investment; bilateral
trade was approximately $10 billion last year.
- Plan Colombia and the
Clinton Administration's assistance package has been developed as
a result of extensive cooperation and consultation between the U.S.
and Colombia during the past year. There is broad bipartisan support
among the House and Senate leadership for this initiative.
- President Pastrana deserves
U.S. support. He is committed to reducing narco-trafficking, and to
cooperating with the United States on this issue. He has begun a difficult
peace process with the largest guerrilla organization (FARC) in Colombia.
His Administration is implementing tough economic and political reforms.
President Pastrana is not sitting idly by, waiting for U.S. aid. He
has already taken a number of initiatives, and achieved successes,
against trafficking organizations.
- There has been some criticism
that the Clinton Administration's program is too heavily focused on
support to Colombia's military and national police, and does not provide
sufficient economic assistance and support to judicial and law enforcement
institutions in Colombia. However, because of the current security
situation in Colombia, there is an immediate need to first strengthen
the ability of the Armed Forces and Colombian National Police to secure
law and order in the country, and reduce the level of violence associated
with narcotrafficking. Moreover, Colombia is committing additional
resources to economic and Government reform, and intends to ask the
European Union, international financial institutions and others to
also contribute to this effort.
- Some argue that U.S.
assistance to Colombia risks creating an "Andean Vietnam."
This analogy has no basis in history. First, Colombia - unlike Vietnam
- is a strong democracy. Its democracy lies at the core of its politics
and society, and is not imposed by outsiders. Second, unlike in Vietnam,
Colombia's guerrillas have no support among the country's population.
Their strength lies only in an ability to commit violence and in being
well-financed through drug activities and "commercial" kidnappings.
Third, unlike in Vietnam, Colombians will fight the drug war with
or without U.S. support. The country is not a "domino" in
a larger global conflict. And finally, Colombians do not want, nor
need, American troops to fight alongside them. They are only asking
for the tools - training, arms, equipment and intelligence sharing
- to fight the battle themselves.
- Approving this assistance
package in early 2000 will help Colombia at a critical time - when
the Pastrana Government is strengthening the military, trying to lift
the economy out of recession, and moving forward with peace talks.

I mentioned earlier in the week, I decided to evaluate the reason behind why I began the crazy endeavor of blogging. Yes, I understand most people would know this before they even started, but I’m not like most folks. I like to do things backwards, and I don’t like to think about anything too serious or too deeply for any length of time. When things are smooth sailing, I see no reason to explore the depths of my psyche. Seriously, self-analysis is tough and can suck sometimes, so of course I wouldn’t willing subject myself to it. Food Blogging for Dummies (Pffftt – stupid book) argues you should know your reasons for starting a blog, and since I want to give this my all, apparently I need to understand the Why (Damn Logic).
Let’s begin, and let’s put it in list form because nothing makes me giddier than a list.
Question: Why Toss Your Sanity Out The Window and Join the Madness of Blogging? (at least that’s how I read it).
- “Well, yeah, I guess it’s obvious, I also like to write. All ya had to do was give (Meghan) a chance and now I’m gonna do my dance.” I used to write all the time in high school and even a tiny bit in college, but one day my creative side just shriveled up and retreated to a long-lost corner of my mind. There might have been outside influences involved (it was college after all), but the cobwebs have cleared, and I’m ready to give it a whirl. Dust off that saddle because I’m back (and not a big fan of dirt).
- I’m hoping to find like-minded individuals. Although I love Cleveland, let’s face it, it’s not the mecca of health consciousness for food and fitness. Quite the opposite really, and I’m tired of being dismissed for passing on meat, for eating “healthy” (please stop saying it like it’s a bad thing) or labeled a crazy person because I think food choice impacts your overall health. I need to know I’m not alone, and since the majority of my friends, co-workers and peers are still wearing rose-colored shades (can you say so 1982!), I needed to broaden my network. Hello Internet.
In my non-blog life, I don’t really broadcast my vegetarian ways and here’s why…
True Story and Quite the Norm here:
Random Person: “So you don’t eat any meat?”
Me: “Nope, no meat at all.”
Random Person: “Do you eat chicken?”
Me: (Um last time I checked, chicken was still meat, so yeah) “no
Random Person: with a chuckle, “How about salt? Are you allowed to eat salt?”
Me: verbally “Yep, salt’s ok,” and internally “Ass”
The funny thing is I don’t think being a vegetarian is a huge deal, and I’m not against eating meat. Personally I’m not a huge fan (except bacon), and it’s high in saturated fat, but if you want your pork chop (the other white meat – does anyone else think this phrase is weird?), you should have it, in moderation.
I would define myself more as a “clean, albeit messy, eater,” and did I just make up a whole new category…Yes, fist pump. Bad jokes aside, clean eating is a subject I’m tremendously passionate about. I speak from experience, and I want to share it with others who feel the same, which leads me to my third reason….
- I want to inspire people (who’s wearing rose-colored glasses now?). I know, I know, it’s crazy but true. The Hubby and I went through a pretty rough patch health-wise, a far more serious patch than anyone in their early thirties should have to endure, and clean eating has turned things around for us. Believe me, I didn’t always think this way and would eat any processed piece of junk, but I’ve lived it now, and I believe everyone can be healthy and feel great about themselves (and you don’t have to be a stick figure existing on carrot sticks or an exercise fanatic to do it). It does have to be your choice though, and you have to make the connection between what you eat and how you feel. I listen to dramatically overweight people talk about constant aches and pains, yet see no relationship between the two. I would suggest anyone walking around with a fifty pound weight strapped to their waist all day, every day, will eventually feel it in some part of their body (bad back, sore knees, swollen ankles, joint paint, headaches). It puts a real strain on your body, but let me be perfectly clear, I’m not saying all health problems are solely due to being overweight. This isn’t just about poundage. Neither the Hubby nor I were terribly overweight prior to the switch; heavier yes, obese no. You can be as skinny as a rail and still feel badly, and be at a higher risk for having health problems if your diet consists of processed junk with a bunch of additives, chemicals and ingredients you can’t pronounce. What I’m trying to say (in far too many words…again, I know) is your quality of life will improve and your weight will decrease if you change your habits. You have a choice between existing in pain, being tired, crabby, lackluster, and angry, or you can change it and feel amazing. You have to work at it, but it is most definitely worth the effort, and YOU ARE WORTH THE EFFORT; I can’t imagine wanting to live any other way.
This is not a diet; I’m really not a fan of those because they don’t last, and sometimes they leave you feeling more dejected than when you started. Instead, it’s eating the right food and making the smart choices. You want to know the best part: healthy food can be mouth-wateringly good, like lick the bowl clean in public, good. Think divine, enticing, finger-licking, gum-smacking, gratifying, healing, nurturing, and rewarding. Food can be all those things, and you can also be truly healthy, happy, energized and eager to start each and every day. This is one of the many reasons I love reading other bloggers; their food is off the chain ridiculous (I’m talking crazy good) and still healthy. It can be done.
In a rather large nutshell, this is how I feel. Sue me for wanting the same for you, but don’t really sue me because it would suck. And then check out this commercial because it is so inspiring. If he can do it, we can all do it. You might want to get the tissues ready.
And the next time you see someone, regardless of size, shape and color, working out, give them a shout, a clap, a whistle, some kind of encouragement or reinforcement because everybody needs to hear it.
So am I completely crazy? Do you believe the type of food you eat impacts your health? And is chicken no longer considered meat, and I just missed it?
Have a great weekend!! | <urn:uuid:dd658d01-a347-4e05-a864-7a73f817e230> | {

The recent mandate by the Lahore High Court, requiring a dedicated weekly lesson on ‘environmental awareness’ to address the smog issue, raises questions about the government's commitment to tackling the problem effectively. As to when officials aim to tackle the issue head on still remains to be seen.
Mere "awareness" isn't the root issue here; we are already well aware of the challenges we face. The crux of the matter lies in rampant capitalist greed, widespread apathy, and a noticeable lack of determination to change. Our society is steeped in hate, lack of empathy, lack of willingness to learn, to reflect and to be better individuals. What urgently needs addressing are the values ingrained within our education system. Critical thinking and creativity are seen as a threat, stifling new ideas and societal evolution.
Ironically, it was our very connection to nature, which nurtured our skills, fostered community structures, and developed our collective consciousness. This seems to have been forgotten in our pursuit of comfort and convenience.
Schools, the very playgrounds for learning and growth, churn out conformists, incapable of challenging the status quo. It's imperative that we transform this paradigm and cultivate a generation equipped to confront the pressing issues of our time.
Progressive education theories such as Environmental Education, Education for Sustainable Development and Outdoor Education, all imbibe the very skill sets individuals need to survive in a constantly changing world. It is paramount to indicate, that these teaching paradigms are more than creating ‘awareness’. By developing the necessary skills and expertise to address the challenges, these theories foster a change in attitude and commitment to make informed decisions. Through an interdisciplinary and holistic approach, the aim is to increase interconnectedness between humans and natural systems, both local and global. It aims to promote interdisciplinary thinking and problem-solving skills. At the same time fostering an environmental ethic, by bringing the students outside of the classroom to directly address real world challenges.
Under-resourced schools will emphasise that they have no walls, no desks and stationery. Yet it is the classroom without walls that is the best teacher. Wonder is the sense greatest to a child. We must nourish it to root itself deeper in them, so that they may follow that intellectual pursuit to the world beyond. The natural world, that is in fact tangible and existing, the world children have access to. As Education Philosopher E.O Wilson put it, “Provoke the students, give them a new slant, challenge the assumptions and comfortable beliefs they brought with them, turn them into colleagues, propel them on intellectual and spiritual searches of their own”.
We must ask: what is wrong with our current form of pedagogy? It is where the teacher is the rambunctious leader, the authority on all knowledge, and the student an empty vase to be filled. The conservative stance towards education might have stemmed from the boom of industrialisation and the dawn of division of labour. To this day, the populace is convinced that they must ‘specialise’ in a skill set and must make this decision at a very young age.
Students then miss out on an entire realm of literature and thought – death to enlightenment and thinking. There is an expansion of certain knowledge but a complete loss to all the other kinds of knowledge and limiting skill sets. This is so that proceeding generations are not a challenge to the present ‘working’ system. Ask yourselves, why do we not breed philosophers, scientists, poets and thinkers? Are we really so arrogant as to believe there is nothing more we can learn in this world? How was education different before? There must have been good education to grant the world with thinkers such as Allama Iqbal, Manto, Faiz Ahmad Faiz, Marx, Galileo and the like. What is progressive education really? What are the goals? It is to make the newer generation leaders - leaders of change.
Torn as it is with myriad issues, human health, poverty, security, human rights and education, the environment does not make it to the even top five most crucial problems for citizens. The lay man does not think about the effects he is having on his country’s resources, only that he has to make ends meet.
Yet this is largely attributed to the ignorance incorporated by our education institutions. What people do not realise is the manner in which they are degrading their natural resources will not only affect where they live, but it will impact their own existence. The first to suffer from environmental injustices are our poorer segments of society many who died in floods, fierce heat waves, and water scarcity between 2014 and today. Yet these issues and the people affected remain ignored.
The study of the environment is often considered ‘scientific’ (true as that may be), but it is far more. It is actually the crossroads where science, politics, mathematics, economics architecture and societal norms meet.
The Tbilisi Declaration, adopted in 1977 during the Intergovernmental Conference on Environmental Education by UNESCO and UNEP, outlined the significance of integrating environmental education into formal and informal learning settings. It emphasised the critical role of education in fostering environmental awareness, promoting sustainable development, and empowering individuals to make informed decisions for the well-being of the planet. Environmental education plays a pivotal role in nurturing a sense of responsibility towards nature, fostering a deeper understanding of ecological systems, and equipping learners with the skills and knowledge needed to address pressing environmental challenges in today's world. It is more than “creating awareness”.
Nearly 50 years since, we have only seen the progression of a complacent society worldwide. Environmental literacy makes use of cognitive, affective and behavioural attributes as recognised by the North American Association for Environmental Education (NAAEE) and other studies. This is so that students understand a range of environmental concepts, then relate these to socio-political struggles that then effectually change their behaviour.
Schools in Pakistan, through no fault of their own, lack readiness to rise to the occasion. Rather than a compulsory weekly “environmental awareness” lesson, a comprehensive policy is required to not only introduce environmental education, but to equip teachers with the requisite skills. Without support to and of teachers, this LHC announcement only adds totheir already heavily burdened shoulders.
Between what is communicated by media and by science, a lot of information and understanding is lost. Education institutions stand as the crucial bridge between that gap. Environmental education cannot be taught in silos. It integral to our existence, shaping our way of life. Therefore, integrating it into the national curriculum is vital, yet it requires a carefully thought-out plan. | <urn:uuid:602273a8-4ff7-4790-819f-c88620fbac5c> | {

School uniforms increase equity and decrease bullying. But school choice is leading to significant upscaling of uniform costs at exactly the same time as the government removes financial assistance aimed at defraying those costs. The result will be sharply less access to our education system for those who depend on it the most.
I served my time at primary school in a selection of government schools in Western Queensland in the 1970s. It was the dawn of “school choice”. The federal government was yet to dabble in funding private education so almost everybody went to either their local public or their local Catholic. And there wasn’t a lot of difference between the two (except the government schools tended to have more money).
We all wore pretty much the same uniform. Cotton button-up shirts for the boys and checked dresses for the girls, khaki for the public kids and blue for the Catholics. The only distinguishing feature was a school badge which was usually pinned to the collar. It was a simple, cheap uniform that could be bought from any supermarket.
Roll forward four decades and much has changed. We have many more choices about where we send our kids to school. This marketisation of schooling (school choice) is increasingly driving schools to see the school uniform as a branding exercise. And it’s not just the swanky independent schools giving their uniforms a zhoosh. Increasingly public schools, especially those which become “independent” are using their uniforms as a weapon in the marketing wars against each other and their private competitors.
Blazers, ties, cotton shirts and formal school dresses are starting to be part of the required “kit” and all of it is intentionally different to anything you can pick up at Kmart. This inevitably and significantly increases the costs of those uniforms.
Suddenly uniforms are no longer a way of keeping us, well, uniform. We are no longer on an even playing field. There are those who can afford the gear and those who can’t. And those who can’t, frequently choose not to attend school at all. As Julia Gillard once said (as part of announcing subsidies for school uniforms) “having a uniform helps undercut the kind of unhealthy competition we can see at schools to have the latest, most expensive, fashionable gear”.
Most Australian state governments maintain schemes aimed at defraying the costs of education incidentals (such as uniforms) for those who need it most. In Victoria, the scheme is called the Education Maintenance Allowance. It pays up to $300 per child a year to help with education costs. In 2014 the allowance was paid to a quarter of the state’s schoolchildren (more than 208,000 kids). Next year it will be paid to nobody because the state government has killed the allowance. In 2016, the Feds will join the party by cancelling the Schoolkids Bonus, a similar scheme worth up to $842 per student a year.
In place of its allowance the Victorian Government has implemented a scheme of increased funding for schools in disadvantaged areas but the disbursement of the money is entirely at the discretion of the school principal. It turns an administrative entitlement into a degrading demonstration of need at the school gate (not to mention competition for that terrific new professional development course, the principal had their eye on). Worse than that, it will completely exclude disadvantaged children who happen to attend schools in more advantaged areas. There will be no replacement for the Schoolkids Bonus.
The OECD has closely examined the relationship between the equity of a country’s education system and its performance, and decided: “The evidence is conclusive: equity in education pays off. The highest performing education systems across OECD countries are those that combine high quality and equity.”
When the OECD ranked the equity of the various education systems in 2007, Australia came in just a little below average (lagging behind Italy and Switzerland but ahead of France, the United States and the United Kingdom). And as the OECD suggests might happen, that result seemed to predict our plummeting academic ranking. Each new round of international testing tells us we are falling further and further behind.
You don’t need to have won the Nobel Prize in economics to calculate that, at a time when parents need more help than ever with uniform costs, pulling the economic rug from under them is likely to have dire consequences for many families. And the destruction in equity that will follow, will have even more disastrous consequences for the performance of all of our children, uniformly.

Up until fairly recently, I've been transcoding videos for playback on my (ancient, 1st-gen) iPod Touch using mencoder. But it's less than ideal. mencoder is, by admission of core mplayer devs, an unsupported, unmaintained piece of software that may or may not work at any given moment, and which isn't particularly high on the fixit list. When it comes to transcoding, ffmpeg is the better platform.
ffmpeg isn't too great with subtitles, and I watch a great deal of subtitled content. So what's really required is something that's as good at playback and subtitle rendering as MPlayer, but with FFmpeg's encoding capabilities. So the answer really is to use both: mplayer to write raw video frames to a pipe, and ffmpeg to transcode from that pipe. As a final step, package the encoded video in an iPod-ready m4v
file and copy the audio stream(s) from the original source:
This will block immediately, as there's nothing reading from the pipe that mplayer is writing to, and the pipe only has a small buffer. In another terminal (in the same directory), run this to pull video frames from the pipe into ffmpeg:
Once mplayer terminates at end-of-file, you'll have video-only-file.avi, a silent-movie AVI encapsulating a video stream that's iPod-ready. If you had subtitles, they're burned into the video. You can discard a-named-pipe.fifo. Now, you just need to take the encoded video in the AVI, splice in an AAC version of the audio stream from the original source, and pack it into an M4V container that your device can work with.
Once you've checked that output-video.m4v is good, you can discard the intermediate video-only-file.avi.
Now, this all looks like a lot of hassle (and it kind of is), but it's far more resilient and reliable than the mencoder
-only version. It even gives you chapters and multiple audio streams, if they were in the source.
If all that's a bit too fussy, I've wrapped it up in a Perl script hosted on GitHub, meaning that you can do everything with just:

Education is a dynamic process that constantly adapts to evolving needs and challenges. In today’s world, where diverse learners navigate a rapidly changing landscape, understanding and addressing educational needs is more crucial than ever.

Nachdem im ESXi4-Bereich des VMware-forum.de ein Posting namens cpuid.coresPerSocket keine Wirkung im W2003 Enterprise auftauchte, habe ich mit dem genannten Tool "mpdetect" mal ein wenig im Server2 getestet.
Der passende Hintergrund dazu verbirgt sich im c't-Artikel Mit Händen und Füßen - Maßnahmen und Tools zur Nutzung vieler Kerne und das Prog dazu ist downloadbar unter http://www.heise.de/ct/06/08/links/206.shtml
Wobei zu sagen ist, daß sich das unter Linux wesentlich einfacher entweder über "numactl" von Andi Kleen oder über die Ausgabe von "/proc/cpuinfo" rausfinden ließe. ;)
Ich habe also einige Tests gemacht und meine bisherigen Vermutungen haben sich teilweise bestättigt. Der Server2 sieht bei 2v.CPU-Kernen in einer VM meistens 2 Singlecores in einem Dual-Sockel-Board und Bilder sagen ja bekanntlich mehr als Worte. So sieht ein E6600 auf dem Host aus...
...und so wird in einer VM mit monitor.virtual_exec="hardware" dann dieselbe CPU angezeigt:
Jetzt wird es kompliziert.
Der Parameter "monitor.virtual_exec" ist enorm wichtig. Falls dieser nicht gesetzt ist, lautet die VMware-Vorgabe dafür "automatic". Dieser Vorgabe folgend, erscheint im "vmware.log" auf einer Conroe-CPU die Einstellung "dynamic". Leider wechselte dann bei jedem Prog-Aufruf die Erkennung der Package-ID und die Anzeige wäre damit nicht reproduzierbar. Mit der Einstellung "Software" hingegen ist die Package-ID zumindest bei Win-Win-Systemen immer gleich der Ausgabe der Host-CPU. Eine Erklärung dafür könnte ein Eintrag im VMware-Log sein:
“Software virtualization is incompatible with long mode on Intel EM64T CPU. Virtual execution will begin in software mode, but will automatically switch to hardware mode if the enters long mode.”
Durch diesen ständigen Wechsel wäre dann in meinen Augen auch klar, weshalb die Last von Host und Gast mit 2 CPU-Kernen ansteigt, obwohl die VM im Leerlauf dümpelt. Wie sich das Ganze nachher in Rechenleistung oder dessen Verlust darstellt, müßte man mal bei Gelegenheit überprüfen...
Zum Vergleich habe ich auch mal die Ausgabe meines Q6700 als Host-CPU gepinnt: | <urn:uuid:bf3b50b5-b08f-4bef-9b86-46d3a2e5f429> | {

Gorbeh a.k.a Persian Cat
Persian cat has graced the show scene for more than 100 years. Judges and spectators have
been impressed with their sweet, gentle nature and long flowing coats which occur in
multitude of colours and patterns. "The ideal Persian should present an impression of a heavily boned, well balanced
cat with a sweet expression and soft, round lines. The large round eyes set wide apart in
a large round head contribute to the overall look and expression. The long thick coat
softens the lines of the cat and accentuates the roundness in appearance." The Origin of Persian Cat
Experts believe that today's domestic cat is the descendent of Felis libyca, a cat that is still found in Africa and Asia. A short-haired, brown mackerel tabby, its adaptation to the environment caused many early mutations, one of which was the development of the long-haired gene. The first of these cats, the Persian, was believed to have evolved on the high, cold plateaus of the country then named Persia, hence their name.
The cats were introduced into Europe by the Phoenicians and Romans in the 1500s as highly valued items of trade. The Europeans were impressed by the Persian.s long silky coat and purposefully bred the cats to perpetuate the trait. By the 1900s the cats were being exported to the United States and since then their popularity has spread throughout the world.
The Persian is the most popular breed among the long-haired cats; others include Birman, Turkish Van, Ragdoll, Mayne Coon, Norvegian Forest Cat and the Exotic (short hair version of the Persian).
In Australia today, while Persians are still out-numbered by the short-haired breeds, they continue to be popular as both a family pet and for showing purposes.
The Persian is a medium to large cat with heavy bones and excellent balance from section to section.
My Persian Roksanna
I always thought, I am a dog person. I have 5 dogs and I was convinced, never ever will I have a Persian. My friend sent me an email that she found this longhaired cat sleeping in her flower bed but she can not keep it because it does not like her dogs and she does not have time and she would bring it to the shelter. That was my keyword. Shelter - NOOOO.
I took it in, this ragged little furball, full of fleas and ticks. Scared to death and it's big amber eyes full of fear. I gave it a bath, killed the fleas, treated the skin which was scratched and bitten open in many places, cut off the matts and tangles, still working on the ear mites, and brushed and blow dried. And out o that ragged little thing came a purebred Persian, snowwhite. She is the most beautiful and grateful cat. She gets along with the dogs just fine (and with the other cats too).
For now she is still in a cage to heal and get accustomed to her new environment. I named her Roksanna - supposedly Alexander The Great's Persian favorite - Gerti

A British neonatal nurse who is serving a life sentence for murdering seven babies and attempting to murder six others was convicted Tuesday of trying to kill another infant in her care.
Lucy Letby, 34, tried to kill a baby girl known as Child K in February 2016 at the Countess of Chester Hospital in northwestern England, a jury decided after a previous panel failed to reach a verdict on that count.
Letby, who testified that she never harmed a child, was found guilty in Manchester Crown Court last August of most of the crimes she was charged with that took place between June 2015 and June 2016 at the hospital's neonatal unit.
On Tuesday, a different jury convicted her of trying to murder a "very premature" baby girl by dislodging her breathing tube in the early hours of Feb. 17, 2016.
The parents of the baby gasped and cried as the verdict was read after three and a half hours of deliberations.
Letby showed no emotion.
Senior Prosecutor Nicola Wyn Williams said Letby removed the baby's breathing support and a doctor found her standing by doing nothing as the child struggled. She added that Letby removed the breathing tube two more times over the next few hours, "in an attempt to cover her tracks and suggest that the first dislodgment was accidental."
"These were the actions of a cold-blooded, calculated killer," she said. "Staff at the unit had to think the unthinkable — that one of their own was deliberately harming and killing babies in their care."
Dr. Ravi Jayaram, a pediatrician at the hospital, told jurors he saw "no evidence" that Letby had done anything to help the baby as he walked in and saw her standing next to the newborn's incubator.
Letby told the jury of six women and six men she had no recollection of any such event. She denied she harmed Child K, and added that she had not committed any of the offenses she had been convicted of.
Letby is serving a life sentence with no chance of release — the most severe punishment possible under British law, which does not allow the death penalty. Only three other women have received such a harsh sentence in the U.K. | <urn:uuid:fedc3e30-4b7e-4077-a289-b5a1625e507a> | {

It's time for me to start setting up the games of the 3rd MAME Olympiad. This Olympiad hasn't been around since 2007, and that was more of a team competition. We're going back to the "represent your country" model. With that in mind... here are the rules. (subject to change until a reasonable point in time, of course)
1a. The Olympiad will be four weeks in duration. There will be four blocks of games, each one week in duration, back to back. This is going to be a five game, five week tournament. There will be no breaks in between games. The first block will begin on July 31st at 00:00:01 GMT, and the final block will end on August 27th at 23:59:59 GMT.
1b. Each block will begin on Sunday at or around 00:00:01GMT, and will end at the next Saturday at 23:59:59 GMT. The blocks of games will be announced in advance. They may be theme-related, depending on the games selected.
2a. All members of MARP will have the opportunity to coordinate up to three games in the tournament.
2b. These "coordinators" will be able to set DIP switches, versions allowed (but they can only choose one or a combination of WolfMAME 99, 106, or the latest version, unless there's a rare reason to allow a different version) as well as determine if the game will be a traditional "most points wins" game or a "time trial"... or any other reasonable way to determine who's awesome.
2c. The three games a coordinator may coordinate may be in different blocks, or the same block, depending on various factors.
2d. If you coordinate a game, you may not participate in that game. (except in fun, in which case your score doesn't count) So pick a game in which you want to see some awesomeness that you haven't seen in a while!
3a. You may remember in the first Olympiad that there was a qualifying round. There will be no qualifying rounds in this Olympiad; all players, save the coordinator, will be allowed to participate in each game that is coordinated.
3b. Each game will be submitted to the main site. Submitting to the forums will not count. I will be respectfully requesting that games are set up in this format: *o3-gamename. If these don't get built, then we will use the MARP regulation play games as usual.
4a. Each player will represent a country. You must be a citizen in that country in order to represent that country. If a player is a "permanent resident alien" in a country, that player can't represent that country, but if a player has dual citizenship, then he can choose which country to represent.
4b. All games will be awarded platinum, gold, silver, bronze, and steel joysticks... well, virtually. Those joysticks will be worth 9, 6, 4, 2, and 1 points to the country the player is representing, respectively.
And now the mundane rules:
5a. As mentioned previously, a maximum of three versions will be allowed for all games: WolfMAME 99, 106, or the latest version. Exceptions may be granted based on game-specific factors.
5b. All recordings must average 99%-101% in speed. No exceptions.
5c. The "24 hour rule" is dropped. It really can't be enforced. But I do expect file dates to be within the time limit of each game.
6a. Sportsmanship is an expectation in all MARP tournaments. In this tournament, I will caution you that any poor sportsmanship may (and probably will) result in penalties up to and including expulsion from the Olympiad.
6b. "Sniping", i.e. doing the following within the last 24 hours: submitting only one recording in a game, or submitting a horrendous recording early(i.e. close to last place) then submitting a spectacular recording(i.e. close to first place) late, is considered poor sportsmanship. In these cases, the player will be penalized according to rule 6a, depending on the severity of the violation. (if you "snipe" a 5th place recording, you won't be penalized as harshly than you "sniping" a 1st place recording)
6c. At the end of the tournament, the coordinator will select a "fair play award" recipient. (or two or three or whatever ) Best sportsmanship will receive the honor.
7. These rules may change without notice, but don't expect them to change during the tournament.
8. Most importantly, have fun!

The astrology for this week of December 5th through the 11th of 2022 suggests we use a little tenderness, although the tenderizing process could be fraught with wild swings of moods and emotions.
The week begins with our old ‘friend’ [sarcasm indicated] of the Saturn Uranus square engaged. We may feel that we’ve turned a corner, put ourselves on a new trajectory, and are proceeding ahead easily until we hit some bumps with stumbling blocks of old issues or frustrating delays.
A key to this week is not to believe the hype and spin presented to us by which we might easily be seduced. Yes, everything is beautiful in its own way, but putting lipstick on a pig doesn’t make it a beauty queen. It’s still a pig. As the powers-that-be flip the narrative with their pitch that the economy is getting better and virus threats are worsening, it would be wise for us to engage critical analysis and due diligence to cut through the hokum.
Being oblivious can be entertaining only for so long before it becomes deadly dangerous.
As we approach mid-week, Mercury exits Sagittarius, a Sign of Detriment for Mercury, ending the Sagittarius Stellium of three planets transiting the Mutable Fire Sign, and Mercury enters Capricorn. Although this entry into Capricorn of Mercury might make us slightly depressed at times, it also affords us greater practicality and seriousness of thought.
The Gemini Full Moon on Wednesday may intensify the sense of speed-up and acceleration of our daily life with us trying to juggle any number of things. The balance between our self interests and the interests of other people can be part of our juggling act with the need of finding balance between self and other.
The fast-paced, high anxiety of these times can be ratcheted up from mid-week into the end of the week with the Mutable Sign T-Square accentuated. We might feel as though we need to be here, there and everywhere, a disposition that could be truly exhausting.
Another Sign change occurs on Friday as Venus exits Sagittarius to enter Capricorn, triggering a Stellium of three planets in the Cardinal Earth Sign as Venus joins Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn. Some of the rose may come off the bloom, as our enthusiasm and exuberance begin to diminish to the obligation of commitments and practical agenda.
The weekend might be a time to regroup and replenish our depleted energy. Time spent at home could provide a sense of sanctuary in our ever-increasing maddening world. We are likely to end the weekend looking for good times with good friends. Enjoying the holiday decorations, the flourish of lights and the bustling about can put a smile on our face and have us more involved with the festivities of this time of year.
Monday, December 5th – One More Once – Uranus, Saturn. Monday begins this week with the Taurus Moon engaging our old nemesis of the Saturn Uranus square as the Moon conjuncts Uranus and the Moon squares Saturn. Although we are dealing with a Mutable Sign T-Square that could have us all over the place and racing around, all the while juggling any number of things, we could find our attempts to streamline operations, take alternate trajectories and engage the new and the different eventually hitting the wall. This is a day when we might try to move too far too fast. It would be wise to add any additional involvements in a probationary manner in order to see if they work and can work on the long term. These times could have us feeling like we’re betwixt and between. Delays are frustrating but likely on this Monday. Let’s try to maintain patience and a forgiving attitude. It would be wise to keep in mind that often we see where we might be going and then are pulled back into past responsibilities. Yes, this is a day when we are liable to fall into the pattern of one more once [to borrow from Count Basie and Duke Ellington].
Tuesday, December 6th – Flying High Before… – Neptune, Pluto Jupiter, Moon Void-of-Course, Mercury, Mercury Capricorn. Tuesday continues with the Taurus Moon with the Moon today trine Pluto and the Moon sextile both Neptune and Jupiter both in Pisces. The Moon then goes Void-of-Course for over an hour and a half with the Moon making no further connections to the planets as the Moon finishes its transit of Taurus and before the Moon enters Gemini. The Gemini Moon makes no connections to the planets today. Mercury squares Jupiter early in the day, and Mercury exits Sagittarius to enter Capricorn [5:08 PM EST] towards the end of the day. Relieved of yesterday’s Saturn Uranus square, we could be feeling optimistic about things on this Tuesday. It might seem as though everything is coming together the way we wish it would. While we can be feeling upbeat and as though everything is right in the world, the liability of fooling ourselves or being fooled cannot be discounted. We might be more enamored with our personal perspective of things than acknowledging the true reality of situations. This fool’s paradise can be heightened by what we see, what we hear, as the narrative tries to sell a positive outlook and successful results to bump up the holiday immersions and increase in sales. The beauties of deception are hard to dismiss, but is it any surprise when we have been conditioned by television programs, movies, tabloids and other information media to accept the reality of unreality, to adopt fiction as fact, and to affirm opinion as being empirical? The entry of Mercury into Capricorn ends the Stellium of three planets in Sagittarius and provides a greater serious of thought and a willingness to consider a practical approach. This day can be one of extremes when anything and everything is possible early in the day only for us to come back to earth late in the day.
Wednesday, December 7th – The Fool’s Moon – Gemini Full Moon, Sun, Mars. The Moon continues its transit of Gemini, but not much seems to be going on early in the day except a frantic pace akin ‘nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide’. The day picks up increased energy as the day unfolds with the Gemini Full Moon [11:08 PM EST] when the Moon opposes the Sun and the Moon conjuncts Mars. Relationships can be dicey. People may be more interested in what they personally want rather than seeking a collaborative approach. Let’s keep in mind that Mars is in Gemini and will be in the Mutable Air Sign into mid-March 2023. The liability of shooting from the lip, being impetuous in action, and downright reckless is something we have to tame. Have you noticed how drivers increasingly viewing stop signs and red lights as optional? Even some drivers are going down the street the wrong way. Talk about a time when caution is imperative, defensive driving and staying alert to unexpected curveballs more than a necessity. The Mars in Gemini is a key component of the Mutable Sign T-Square, so our nerves can be shot and our diplomacy in our relationships could be close to nil. It is essential that we not jump to conclusions, since what we see may not be what we get. If we could slow things down, avoid getting caught up in the whirlwind of frenzied action, and think things through before we participate in virtually anything, we could avoid making huge mistakes and dangerous missteps.
Thursday, December 8th – Keeping it Straight – Saturn, Neptune, Sun, Mars. Thursday continues with the Gemini Moon with the Moon today trine Saturn and the Moon square Neptune. The Moon square Neptune is the incipient Mutable Sign T-Square stronger tomorrow when the Moon opposes Venus and the Moon squares Jupiter. The Sun opposes Mars. This is a day when it would be wise for us to plan out our schedule, although doing so in pencil with a big eraser, since these are times when things can change dramatically and suddenly and often without notice. While we can devise a best practices approach to the day, we might need the support of someone to keep us on track. Otherwise, with all the Mutable energy flying around, we could easily get distracted and our attention diverted to whatever catches our fancy, the whim of the moment. Even if we have a great amount going on, it would be wise for us to notate what we wish to accomplish early in the day and be flexible in how we choose to go about it. Wednesday through Friday of this week are high energy days, and days when we need to rein in our impetuousness and impulsive action. If we are going shopping, it would be wise to keep our receipts in case we think better of our impulsive purchases after the fact.
Friday, December 9th – Generous to a Fault – Lunar T-Square, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus Capricorn. The Moon finishes its transit of Gemini with a Mutable Sign T-Square with the Moon opposed Venus and the Moon square Jupiter. The Moon then moves into Cancer where the Cancer Moon today opposes Mercury. The two ‘good guys’ of the planetary realm, Venus and Jupiter, square each other. Venus exits Sagittarius to enter Capricorn [10:54 PM EST] and triggers a Stellium of three planets in the Cardinal Earth Sign as Venus joins Mercury and Pluto in Capricorn. This day is liable to have us engage excess. We could indulge ourselves under the guise of intended projects in our future or splurge on gifts for our loved one[s]. The beauty of credit and credit cards is the ability to buy now without much thought of the eventual payment when the bills come in sometime later this month or next month. Instant gratification can beguile us and entice us into being generous to a fault. Let’s be certain that we budget our expenditures and keep an eye on our purchases today. Although we are still dealing with the Mutable Sign T-Square influence, the Venus entry into Capricorn helps us be more practical and more focused on decorum. Relationships may seem either a burden or an assist in achieving our ambitions. We are entering a time of holiday festivities with their obligatory social celebrations of lunches, cocktail parties, and evening get-togethers. Let’s do what we need to do but avoid overindulgence in the process.
Saturday, December 10th – Switching it Up, Slowing it Down – Uranus. This Saturday has the Cancer Moon sextile Uranus. After a fairly intense week, we might choose the weekend to slow things down and free ourselves up from obligations and responsibilities. Today is a good day to do things we wish to do, when and how we want to do them. We might use this day to buy things for our home, put up our holiday decorations, or just take some down time without feeling the need to accomplish anything on our ‘to do’ list. Although much of our attention may be on the holidays, it would be wise for us to also use this day to do an inventory taking and rid ourselves of the old and outdated. Anything that we haven’t used for awhile and don’t intend to use in the foreseeable future is a good candidate for removal. Switching things up, streamlining our operations and slowing things down are all suggested under today’s energy configuration. Even if we have social commitments on this Saturday, let’s try and have some time when we can be alone, quiet and give thought to alternatives to our present life conditions. An unexpected event could be exciting and inviting, so it would be suggested that we take advantage of any surprising developments.
Sunday, December 11th – Connecting with Spirit – Neptune, Pluto, Jupiter. Sunday continues with the Cancer Moon with the Moon today trine Neptune, the Moon opposed Pluto, and the Moon trine Jupiter. The Moon then goes into Leo, but the Leo Moon makes no connections to the planets today. This Sunday is a day for us to recognize the importance of the holidays [holy days] that we are celebrating. By taking time to reflect, contemplate, pray, and / or meditate, we have the ability of getting out of our little personal self and make contact with the source, the higher powers, the god force. Whether we are involved in holiday preparations or taking care of our responsibilities, it would be wise for us to acknowledge our spirit in action. During this time of paradigm shift when magic and mini-miracles are more apparent, we too could be more aware of our spiritual strength and how our spirit manifests into the many things we do. By coming from our truth, honor and integrity, we both affirm and strengthen our spiritual being, and in the process we go through an awakening, increased awareness, and an ascension into greater BE-ing. Later in the day, we might choose to be out and about and take in the holiday lights, decorations, and evidence of this uplifting and celebratory time of year. | <urn:uuid:cccb3834-3966-4d7d-b876-d1f82b7f2448> | {

With the news this week of high street giant H&M opening its first ever store in India, one may wonder with anticipation whether this is to have any artistic influence on the store’s future collections. In light of this month’s exciting Banana Republic x L’Wren Scott Holiday Collection, we can speculate on such a thing happening in India, and take a look at the country’s greatest designers.
Since breaking onto the scene in the ’80s Rina Dhaka has been at the heart of fashion in India. Her collections are known for looking beyond her home country for themes and trends, not so much blending cultures as slapping them firmly on top of one another. As when she combined Russian fur with the Indian sari, Dhaka’s results are often surprising and always exciting. In deep, rich colours, her clothes are consistently evoking India, but never seeming to quite fit.
Wendell Rodricks is debated and celebrated for his character as well as his clothes. Always good for a soundbite, when once asked what he was to wear for the launch of one of his collections, he replied, ‘Who cares? It’s only fashion.’ Originally trained in gastronomy, after he graduated Rodricks began working on his first collection, designed and managed from a small fishing village. Now based at the beaches of Goa, alongside the hipsters eating papaya by day and partying throughout the night, Rodricks creates his simplistic and chic designs, white like the sand, flowing like the waves.
Finally we come to new-kid-on-the-block Hema Kaul, who launched her first collection, Déjà-vu, this year at London Fashion Week. Citing her inspirations as Alexander McQueen and Coco Chanel, Kaul’s clothes have none of the looseness of Rodricks, or the zest of Dhaka’s. They are spectacular and absorbing nonetheless. Often cast in metallic colours or pastel, the collection as a whole has an ashen look, that when coupled with lace and silk conjures a mournful but elegant tone that seduced the critics in London.
Whether will see the influence of any of these three on the shelves of H&M in the near future is anyone’s guess. However in the past the store has succeeded in bringing top-end, fashion house designs down to high-street prices. You can ensure that you find the best deals available at sites like this one here, preparing your senses for the flavours of the East. India’s fashion continues to impress, and H&M’s move has brought it a step closer. | <urn:uuid:eb64092c-4caa-4724-9c32-145229206167> | {

You'd be forgiven if the headlines of the last year or so have turned you off of the idea of travelling to the United States of America. But you'd also be missing out. Despite the news, there's much more to the U.S. than contentious politics and civil unrest. In this occasional series, travel writer Bert Archer will highlight some of the reasons why a trip to America is worth your time and travel dollars. First up: a closer look at Washington DC.
The first time I went to DC, I was overwhelmed.
I’m not the biggest fan of the United States, and I had been expecting its capital to be all that America is, multiplied.
It wasn’t. In fact, the more I wandered its wide streets, visited its monumental museums, and walked by icon after icon of the U.S. of A., from the Lincoln Memorial to the Washington Monument, the Capitol to the White House, I was suffused with a sense that Washington was not so much America multiplied, or America distilled, as it was America idealized: a physical, urban manifestation of how America saw itself.
Walking through the Smithsonians, the National museums and galleries, I saw a collection of everything America had brought to the world, and everything it had taken from it.
This idea of mine this vision of DC, persisted through several visits, right up until some friends of mine moved there, and I started getting glimpses of life beyond the district’s monumental core.
Washington DC has, from its very beginnings, been a city where Black people live, more than a city where white people do. And yet, through all those initial visits, I’d been snowblind, transfixed by the white marble and pink granite, and the white and pink people staring benevolently down at me from the walls, plinths, and pedestals. The Washington that had surprised and delighted me was a Washington where Jefferson, FDR, and Kennedy did all the things they did, not Frederick Douglass, Mary McLeod Bethune, or Mary Church Terrell, nor the hundreds of thousands of others who built and defended this temple to America, and who lived and worked and kept it floating on top of the marshes and swamps upon which it was so famously constructed.
But through my friends, I saw that other DC. And I heard one friend, raised on the West Coast, educated in Montreal, white and gay and as liberal-seeming as that combination so often seems, telling me he had caught himself crossing the street when he saw groups of Black youth walking towards him, and rolling up windows when driving through pretty much every neighbourhood other than the ones I, and most tourists, stroll through.
My friends moved away, as they said they would if Bush Jr. was elected (one of them worked for the government, and didn’t like the idea of working for him), and I stopped visiting.
And then, about a decade later, they moved back. I visited a couple of months later.
DC had changed. It wasn’t about the museums, or the public buildings. In fact, it wasn’t about anything that would be directly affected by the recent government shutdown.
My first clue was Busboys and Poets. I saw Ta Nehisi Coates’ Between the World and Me, which I bought, and nearby was Toni Morrison’s God Help the Child. I saw Spectacle by Pamela Newkirk, and Loving Day by Mat Johnson. I’d not heard of those, and flipped them to take a look at the author note, and because I’m very slow as a person, it was only then I noticed all these books were by Black writers. Every single one in the bookstore (which is run as a sort of permanent pop-up by renowned DC booksellers Politics and Prose).
As I was to find out later, this Busboys and Poets at 14th and V was the first location of what’s since become a mini-chain. Comfy and unfussy furniture sits beneath a collage of text and images of freedom fighters and boxers, singers and poets. The name of the place comes from poet Vachel Lindsay, who after being served by an especially poetic busboy at DC’s Wardman Park Hotel (now the Washington Marriott Wardman Park) in the 1920s, called the young man, whose name was Langston Hughes, the busboy poet. There are 365 events a year at this place, all to do with Black DC, whether it’s politics or religion, music, sports, or identity. I go to Busboys and Poets every time I go to DC now. It’s a DC café the way Café du Pont Neuf is a Paris café, or Zum Schwartzer Kameel is a Vienna café. Everything you need to know about DC, you’ll get sitting right here.
The fact that Busboys and Poets was founded by Andy Shallal, a man who immigrated from Iraq about 50 years ago, just adds to the fact, rather than the image (or at least my old image) of what kind of a place DC is. This is a city that’s better than the man sitting in the White House, better than most of the men and women who jet in to sit in Congress and do the questionable things they do. This city is better than Jefferson, and better than FDR, who wouldn’t invite a Black person to the White House. It’s better than Ferguson, Missouri and Sanford, Florida, and Houston and Phoenix, too.
So, go to DC. Check out the galleries if you like, buy a Federal Babe Inspector t-shirt outside the J. Edgar Hoover Building. But your real visit should be to the DC that’s still there when the rest of it gets shut down. See the old bits — like the '70s chic Georgetown of the Four Seasons (catch the Sunday brunch, it’s a social phenomenon) and the (1973 SPOILER ALERT) death stairs from The Exorcist, but do not miss the DC Busboys and Poets was pointing to when it opened, the DC that was always there. Go to the U Street Corridor, where Duke Ellington was born, where Ben’s Chili Bowl has been serving Half-Smoke (chili dog) since the Trinidadian Ben Ali opened it with his wife Virginia in 1958, and Oohh’s and Aahh’s, the soul food spot that later joined a whole strip of DC excellence.
If you’re going in November, look out for Black Restaurant Week Nov. 3-10. The Florida Avenue Grill is another historic staple (even older, opening in 1944), and DC’s status as an international hub has given rise to a bunch of African spots, like Askale Cafe, Harrar Coffee, and Sankofa Video, Books & Café.
But probably the best symbol of the DC that is, always was, and should have been celebrated a long time before this, is the National Museum of African American History and Culture, resonantly designed by David Adjaye. First conceived under Herbert Hoover (!), and later re-proposed by James Baldwin, and Reps Mickey Leland and John Lewis over the years, it finally opened in 2016, just in time to get inaugurated by Obama, with donations of $20 million from Robert F. Smith, and $21-million from Oprah (to whom weirdly but entertainingly large parts of the museum are dedicated).
Then just get right back out of the core. Maybe out to the Eastern Market, or the Navy Yard and Capitol Riverfront, or the newly developed District Wharf, out where DC can breathe, and you can, too.

[True Ending Spoilers]
Gonna talk about Ending E and the fate of Pascal, to keep in mind.
So after all the lies and atrocities that happen in the third act, the game gives a little mercy by having my OTP Pod 153 and Pod 042 take parts and memories of the last few YoRHa Androids so they can be revived. Hurray, the sexy androids are back (assuming they don’t kill each other after they wake up)! Except Pascal is still doomed, and that’s the most frustrating outcome I’m having with the experience.
He still lost his whole village, all his children either killed themselves or were destroyed by other beings, everything he fought for and his entire belief of a better tomorrow remains irreparably shattered. He still failed. When I met the ever affable Pascal and his tribe, I knew something bad’s gonna happen to him. I anticipated him to die, but the actual outcome is even worse than I anticipated. Technically, there’s an option to kill him, but I ended up choosing the Memory Wipe option. But by doing that, he’ll remain alone with no purpose, avoiding the hopelessness that affected him. I played a lot of games with depressing outcomes, but this…this SUCKS!
This is part of why I think the game’s true ending is more of a pyrrhic victory. Sure, the main threat is gone (whether by destroying the machine empire or they go to space), but YoRHa or Council of Humanity or whatever’s on the Moon is still there. The lie remains intact, and now the surviving androids have no base to back up their memories, so their bodies and personas are now finite. I get the feeling the next NieR title will have these machines decay over the years, and that there will be a religion forming en masse as a result of the illusion that the All-Mighty Humanity exists. And if 9S has his way, he’s gonna preach against that lie, he’s gonna have his followers, and thus they’ll have a Holy War. Yoko Taro has to have some kind of material for the next downbeat installment.
Why am I reminded of Casshern Sins all of a sudden?

As there are a vast array of different property types in the commercial and industrial sector, each property type must be considered carefully before we can give you a quote due to the number of variables involved in assessment procedures. Property types can include offices, factories, retail units, industrial type buildings, mid terrace shops or supermarkets, warehouses, hotels, guest houses and other non domestic dwellings.
For instance we have to consider the type of property, size in square meters or feet, number of storeys, if the premises is detached or adjoined, building age, average ceiling heights, wall and roof construction, wall and loft insulation, alternative wall construction, windows if double or single glazed including their age, heating system with the fuel type making a considerable difference to the rating. Also other variables such as the boiler type, types of lighting being used, hot water system, air conditioning and solar photovoltaic or solar thermal improvements. All this information goes into calculating the energy rating of your commercial building. | <urn:uuid:5ffc2ca9-c9ed-4dd2-8e28-d6f6ecb6919f> | {

Shelves, Checkstands, and Game Engines, oh my!
- New Shelf Types and Checkstands
- Game Engines
- Next Steps
- Alpha Access
It’s taken a bit longer than planned to get around to writing this blog post. Fret not, because I’ve spent a good chunk of time expanding the set of shelf archetypes and building a new game engine for Grocery Game’s foundation.
If you’d like to play the game:
Subscribers of $5 or more on Patreon and other donors will also receive access to an Alpha version of the game.
New Shelf Types and Checkstands
I’ve expanded the game’s procedural generation primitives to generate:
Already these few shelf types add better visual variety to the game, which was lacking given just the wooden shelves.
Though raylib has served me well so far, I’ve hit a wall using its simple, albeit limited, abstraction. For example, I spent more time than I’d have liked trying to integrate the ambient shader I teased in the last post.
Continue to use D lang
Use a modern graphics stack
Use GLFW for window management
Raylib uses this library under-the-hood. Given Grocery Game’s HTML UI and the CSS cursor property, the UI should change the window’s cursor. However, Raylib didn’t support that until I contributed a pull request.
As an unabashed bleeding-edge apologist, I first investigated wgpu-native, even going so far as to write an idiomatic D wrapper for the library.
wgpu-native is a Rust implementation of the up-and-coming WebGPU specification web platform standard with a bright future. Mozilla and Google are developing an interoperable C header for their different implementations, wgpu and Dawn. wgpu is built on gfx-rs, a graphics-backend-agnostic library supporting Vulkan.
However, wgpu is still a bit too green at the moment. For example, I encountered issues setting up a swap chain.
Eventually, in an effort to KISS the problem away, I decided just to use Vulkan directly given its solidly widening support.
- Built-in Game Loop
- Multiple Windows
Time-to-Triangle: The time required to code graphical systems at a level the hardware’s capable of, essentially analogous to how long it takes to create the base for games that match the hardware’s graphical power.
Mark Cerny, PS4 Lead Architect. Engadget, Cerny: PS4’s ‘time-to-triangle’ to rival PS1
Eventually, there were fruits of my labor:
- Switch to the gfx D library, which implements a fuller Vulkan abstraction
- Re-Integrate Ultralight
- Back port the existing store floor space system, i.e. walls, doors, shelves, and checkstands
- Get back to fleshing out more game systems, starting with shoppers

A prominent member of Republican leadership recently announced support for cutting Medicare and Social Security benefits to pay for the ballooning budget deficit created by last year’s sprawling federal tax cuts.
Rep. Steve Stivers of Ohio, who heads the campaign arm for Republican U.S. House candidates, made the comments in an interview last month with CNBC, suggesting that tax cuts for the very richest Americans should come at the expense of working families’ retirement security.
“For decades, the government has withdrawn a small amount of money out of every American’s paycheck and put it toward insurance programs designed to help protect working people against economic hardship in sickness or retirement,” said IBEW International President Lonnie Stephenson. “It’s outrageous how some in Congress continue to think of Social Security and Medicare as nothing more than convenient piggy banks that are available to bail them out of their bad ideas.”
Last November, both houses of Congress approved a bill that, among other things, provided the wealthiest 1 percent with the vast majority of incremental tax cuts over the next 10 years, alongside dozens of loopholes tailored to help the richest Americans pay a much lower percentage of taxes than working people, who make far less.
The bill, signed into law by President Donald Trump on Dec. 22, also incentivized American corporations to move jobs — and profits — out of the U.S.
But Congress failed to include a way to pay for the cuts. In April, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office concluded that, without offsetting spending cuts, America’s budget deficit was on track to swell to $11.7 trillion by 2027.
A CNBC reporter brought up the prediction in an August interview with Stivers. Rather than address the issue directly, Stivers — the chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee — pivoted to attack Medicare and Social Security.
“I do think we need to deal with some of our spending,” Stivers told the reporter. “We’ve got to try to figure out how to spend less.” He went on to propose so-called “entitlement reform” as the solution.
“I don’t want to be, you know, mean and kick people off of programs,” he said. “It might cost them a little more for their social subsidy, but they actually can keep their Medicaid expansion, or they can keep their housing, but they actually have an incentive to take that pay raise and do better and pay more taxes.”
Stivers was not proposing anything new. Shortly after Congress passed the tax cut bill, House Speaker Paul Ryan told KHOW radio in Denver that “entitlement reform…is how you tackle the debt and the deficit.
“[I]t’s the health care entitlements that are the big drivers of our debt,” Ryan claimed, “so we spend more time on the health care entitlements — because that’s really where the problem lies, fiscally speaking.”
Ryan, who is not running for reelection to his Wisconsin House seat, recently told a gathering organized by the WisPolitics website in his home state that the success of such ideas hinges on who controls the House and Senate following the midterm elections on Tuesday, Nov. 6.
Stephenson said that this is one of the many things that all IBEW members — and their family and friends — should consider as they cast their votes.
“Do our elected representatives want to cut our hard-earned benefits or do they want to work to protect them?” Stephenson said. “And are we willing to work a few years longer simply to pay for such cuts?
“Government insurance programs like Social Security and Medicare are promises, not entitlements,” he said. “We paid for them, so we deserve to have them when we need them. Our representatives shouldn’t be trying to pay their bills at the expense of working people.” | <urn:uuid:d9be968a-d4e2-40e4-8d4c-f0e10e6aa849> | {

Some knots help–keeping your shoes on, tethering the dingy to the dock. Some are downright delicious, like garlic knots. Then there are the majorly irksome, like hair knots or infernal earpod wires. This June, we’re looking at Gordian knots–and the ingenious work-arounds that free us from those seemingly impossible snarls.
This week in particular, we’re focusing on one of the most impossible and perplexing snarls of all–love. Danielle Trussoni, writing as her alter ego, Dani Tru, shares some excerpts from True Romantic, a weekly column featured in The Rumpus. For the full True Romantic story, visit Dani Tru’s column here.
I used to have an old red suitcase where I kept my journals, about fifty or so notebooks, each filled with stories and poems, travel notes, bits of this and that I’d glued onto the pages: A note from my first boyfriend, failed short stories, a rejection letter from the New Yorker, a receipt from the coffee shop where I’d written my first poem. The pages were filled with disfigured self-portraits, twisted and half-real reflections of me at sixteen, at twenty, at twenty-three. Much of what was inside these notebooks was badly written, and some of it was even abysmally written, but I felt too attached to the efforts—the deformed beauty of my ungainly sixteen-year-old handwriting—to throw them out. As a result, I’d lugged these notebooks with me from apartment to apartment for years. I never opened the red suitcase, but slipped it under the bed or into a closet of whatever apartment I was renting.
One day, not long after we moved in together, The Magician saw the suitcase and asked what was inside. I opened the brass clasps and showed him the rows of neatly arrayed notebooks. He picked one up and turned over the cover. I eased it from his fingers and replaced it in the suitcase,
snapping the clasps closed.

Przyszłościowe witryny internetowe potrafią zachwycić już od samego początku. Piękna szata graficzna na blogu, idealnie zoptymalizowana strona internetowa czy również przejrzysty oraz intuicyjny sklep internetowe. Na ten moment sporo stron www prezentuje rzeczywiście wysoki poziom wykonania.
W zasadzie nie jest to nic zadziwiającego, ponieważ jakiś czas temu projektowanie i tworzenie witryn internetowych wkroczyło na naprawdę wyższy level. Sporo firm czy również osób prywatnych de fakto długo wyszukuje odpowiedniego zleceniobiorcy, który zajmuje się projektowaniem innowacyjnych stron www. I właśnie wyszukiwania dobrego wykonawcy stron www powoduje, że klient jest de fakto zadowolony z wykonanego projektu. Jednakże znalezienie takiego podmiotu zdarza się, że nie jest łatwe, ponieważ w tej branży pojawiło się wiele naciągaczy, którzy pragną w intuicyjny sposób zarobić pieniądze. A projektowanie stron www Poznań jest realnie skomplikowanym zajęciem. Wymaga ono olbrzymiej wiedzy oraz doświadczenia, aby móc wykonywać w pełni innowacyjne projekty witryn internetowych. Stąd też zanim wybierzemy konkretnego zleceniobiorcę warto przeprowadzić z nim szczegółowy wywiad. Nam jako klientom przede wszystkim powinno zależeć na stronie, która będzie całkowicie dostosowana do urządzeń mobilnych. To właśnie osoby wykorzystujące telefon stanowią największy odsetek wszystkich użytkowników sieci w dzisiejszych czasach. W takim razie bardzo dobry projektant www powinien skupić się głównie na dostosowaniu strony pod innowacyjne smartfony. W przeciwnym razie konwersja na stronie www może w ogromnym stopniu się obniżyć. A to właśnie ruch na stronie stanowi podstawowy punkt, który wskazuje na bardzo dobre wykonanie witryny internetowe, optymalizację strony a także dobre pozycjonowanie w Google. Firmy wykonujące na co dzień nowoczesne witryny internetowe dla swoich klientów firmowych a także indywidualnych mają już doświadczenie, by wykonać świetny projekt strony. O ile zapewnią oni odpowiednią szybkość ładowania, brak błędów w kodzie strony oraz przyjazny interfejs dla odwiedzających osób, to pozycjonowanie witryny internetowej w Google może przynieść faktycznie wysokie pozycje. Nie warto wiec zastanawiać się ile kosztuje projektowanie i tworzenie witryn internetowych. Warto po prostu zadbać o doświadczonego projektanta, aby w późniejszym czasie nie narzekać, że projekt witryny internetowej jest po prostu słabej jakości.

Together, the goal is to create a strategic, powerful plan for each person to gain clarity through relaxed discussion, interaction and accountability.
Group Coaching – small or large setting coaching
Working in a group setting is designed to help teams embrace thinking that magnifies the discussions and solutions that are above and beyond what any individual can create. The cohesive bond that is formed empowers each person to develop the leader within, tackle tough issues, and shine in a safe environment that nurtures the group as a whole.
Both individuals and groups want to achieve their potential. Sheldon understands the need for deep conversations, confidentiality, learning opportunities, and honest and clear talk.
We’re happy to help individuals and groups develop those deep conversations that lead to deeper leadership and life; let’s grab a tea and have a conversation; connect now. | <urn:uuid:f731609c-1315-4c64-b3b8-705b54ac066c> | {

śliczne, długie i podkreślone rzęsy Kraków to marzenie wielu kobiet. W końcu makijaż potrafi w zwykły metodę odmienić nasz cały wygląd. Tutaj wyjątkowo istotne są oczy. To one są najlepiej widoczne na naszej twarzy. Dlatego warto w pierwszej kolejności zadbać o wygląd spersonalizowanych rzęs. Jak to zrobić?
Na początku zainwestujmy w specjalną odżywkę do rzęs. To koszt nie przekraczający kilkunastu złotych, dlatego spokojnie możemy sobie na niego pozwolić. Tego typu odżywki są dostępne w każdej drogerii. Warto być świadomym jednakże, ażeby regularnie z nich skorzystać. Możemy je nakładać np. wieczorem, przed wybraniem się do łóżka. W trakcie nocy nasze rzęsy wchłoną wszystkie cenne składniki preparatu. Dzięki temu rano będą wyglądać znacznie lepiej i piękniej. A jak możemy je pomalować? Tutaj najważniejsza jest inwestycja w właściwy, porządny tusz. Jeżeli narzekamy na krótkie rzęsy, postawmy na kosmetyk, który trochę je wydłuży. Na 100 procent takie łatwe tusze mogą nie przynosić zachwycających wyników. Jeżeli już więc liczymy na coś więcej, wybierzmy się na przedłużanie rzęs. To profesjonalny zabieg wykonywany już w wielu salonach i gabinetach kosmetycznych. Dzięki temu nasze rzęsy pięknie się wydłużą i będą stanowić piękny dodatek do naszego całego wyglądu.
Rzęsy wspaniale podkreślają naszą urodę. Dlatego warto zdawać sobie sprawę, aby regularnie o nie dbać i pielęgnować je za poradą specjalnych preparatów np. odżywek. Jeśli nie jesteśmy natomiast zachwycone swoimi rzęsami, postawmy na przedłużanie rzęs, które przynosi wspaniałe rezultaty.

Closing the summer season Lauris Reiniks has released a music video for his happy Latvian summer song “Izvēdināt galvu” (To clear my head). Neighboring Estonia and Lithuania have recieved their versions of the same song and video called “Lendame koos” (Let’s fly together) and “Išvėdinti galvą” (To clear your head). It’s a comical story with crime film elements. A story about a person who is overworked and burnt out.
“Izvēdināt galvu” music video was directed by the experienced director Aija Strazdiņa, but the head of photography was Ivo Skanstiņš. The video story was written and produced by Lauris Reiniks.
“Izvēdināt galvu” – LATVIA
This music video is unique because it was filmed in close collaboration with Latvian Prison Administration that was very helpful and forthcoming. Most of the music video was filmed inside 2 Latvian prisons. Brasa prison that was closed just 4 months ago and Olaine prison which is still active and most modern prison in Latvia. This was the first time in history of Latvia that any musician ever showed an interest to film a music video inside the prison.
“This was an extremely interesting experience and amazing adventure that I will never forget. Thanks to Latvian Prison Administration this story could be told and it didn’t stay just on a paper”, tells Lauris, adding that actually this story is not about a prison. It is about a person.
“It is like a reminder to everyone that you don’t have to do all the possible jobs and make all the money in the world. You don’t need it if you want to live a healthy and fulfilled life. Nobody needs burnt out, overworked and tired people around. You must find time for yourself, stop on time or simply take a break. Or as it says in a song: “That’s it! Ciao! I’m out of here! I need to clear my head.”, Lauris explains the idea of the video and song.
“Lendame koos” – ESTONIA
“Išvėdinti galvą” – LITHUANIA
All song versions are available for download on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify.
The single was released in all three Baltic countries earlier this summer in June. The authors of Latvian version “Izvēdināt galvu” are Lauris Reiniks/ Lauris Reiniks, Guntars Račs. Lithuanian lyrics for “Išvėdinti galvą” were adapted by Justinas Jankevičius. Estonian “Lendame koos” was done by Leelo Tungal and Imre Sooäär. | <urn:uuid:6e605810-8de8-4c89-be47-c62560b02648> | {

Option traders can benefit from being an option buyer or option writer. The options allow a potential gain during both volatile times, and when the market is quiet or less volatile. This is possible because the prices of assets such as stocks, currencies and commodities are always moving, and no matter what the market conditions are, there is an option strategy that can take advantage of it.
The forex signals app will guide you about the basics. The information about the moving currencies and market conditions are available to the traders. You can take benefit of the option strategy to get desired results. The collection of correct information is essential for the traders.
[Price discovery is an essential process if you want to see profits when it comes to options. Learn to buy and write options, the basic concepts of buying and selling, and how to analyze the market to achieve maximum success with the Options Course of the Investopedia Academy. Training of professional options to put the odds in your favor.]
Basic concepts of the profitability of the options
A purchaser of a call option can make a profit if the underlying asset, say an action, rises above the strike price before the expiration. A put option buyer makes a profit if the price falls below the strike price before expiration. The exact amount of earnings depends on the difference between the price of the shares and the exercise price of the option at expiration or when the position of the option is closed.
A writer of call options can make a profit if the underlying stock remains below the strike price. After writing a put option, the trader benefits if the price remains above the strike price. The profitability of a writer of options is limited to the premium he receives for writing the option (which is the cost of the option buyer). Option writers are also called option sellers.
Purchase of options versus writing
A buyer of options can get a substantial return on investment if trading options works. This is because the price of an action can move significantly beyond the strike price.
A writer of options obtains a comparatively lesser performance if the operation of options is profitable. This is because the return of the writer is limited to the premium, no matter how much the action moves. So, why write options? Because the odds are overwhelmingly on the writer’s side of options. A study in the late 1990s, conducted by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), found that just over 75% of all expired options expired worthless.
This study excludes option positions that were closed or exercised before the expiration date. Even so, for each option contract that was in the money (ITM) at expiration, there were three that were out of the money (OTM) and, therefore, no value is a pretty strong statistic.
Evaluation of risk tolerance
Here is a simple test to assess your risk tolerance in order to determine if it is better to be a buyer of options or a writer of options. Let’s say you can buy or write 10 purchase option contracts, with the price of each call at $ 0.50. Each contract normally has 100 shares as the underlying asset, so 10 contracts would cost $ 500 ($ 0.50 x 100 x 10 contracts).
If you buy 10 purchase option contracts, you pay $ 500 and that is the maximum loss you can incur. However, its potential benefit is theoretically unlimited. So, what is the trick? The probability that the exchange is profitable is not very high. Although this probability depends on the implied volatility of the purchase option and the remaining period of time until the expiration date, let’s say 25%.
On the other hand, if you write 10 purchase option contracts, your maximum profit is the amount of premium income, or $ 500, while your loss is theoretically unlimited. However, the chances of the exchange of options being profitable are very favorable, at 75%.
So, would you risk $ 500, knowing that you have a 75% chance of losing your investment and a 25% chance of making a profit? Or would you prefer to earn a maximum of $ 500, knowing that you have a 75% chance of keeping the total amount or part of it, but have a 25% chance of the transaction losing?
The answer to these questions will give you an idea of your risk tolerance and whether it is better to be an option buyer or option writer.
It is important to keep in mind that these are the general statistics that apply to all options, but at certain times it may be more beneficial to be an option writer or a buyer in a specific asset. Applying the right strategy at the right time could alter these probabilities significantly. | <urn:uuid:63537907-d75b-4443-a2cb-0d8f6d67297f> | {

Valuta’s. Lang voorspeld, maar ook lang verwacht is de dollar dan gedaald. De…
Valuta’s. Lang voorspeld, maar ook lang verwacht is de dollar dan gedaald. De overdreven snelle daling bevestigt de overdreven hoogte van deze valuta. Hoewel je in dit soort markten beter geen voorspellingen kunt doen, verwacht ik rond de Hfl. 3,50 toch wel een consolidatie. Doorgaand op valutakoersen, zou ik voorzichtig zijn met Lires en zelfs met Franse Francs. De kans op een aanpassing naar beneden is reëel, o.a. omdat men dat nu kan wijten aan de val van de dollar. Niet dat dat een reden is, Lires en Francs zijn gewoon zwak en hun economie blijft achter bij de rest van Europa. De Yen heeft nu stijgingskansen, terwijl gulden en DM sterk zullen blijven. Degenen die een tijdje terug ponden kochten en deposito’s erin namen hebben hoge rente en goede koerswinst. Vanaf nu verwacht ik een stabiel pond (dus niet veel stijging meer en ook weinig kans op dalen).
De Westerse economieën (zijn er andere?) zullen zich sterk blijven ontwikkelen. Door de traditionele achterstanden die Europa in dit opzicht altijd op de V.S. heeft, zie ik vooral in Europese aandelen goede mogelijkheden (met deze dollar koop ik nog steeds niet graag U.S. aandelen). Het lijstje van koopwaardige aandelen is: Arbed, Kon. Olie (voor echt lange termijn), Duitsland warrants of aandelen Mannesmann, BasF, Bayer, Hoechst. (De warrants van deze 4 zijn zeer interessant.) Linde. Ahold is ook nog steeds koopwaardig, ook de warrants.
Dat de V.S. steeds weer een stapje voor is, bleek uit de hogere inflatiecijfers. Daar begint het al. Dat, plus een dalende dollar is goed voor edele metalen. De paniekerige stijging van $ 50 in twee dagen doet ouderwets aan. Maar geeft ook aan dat elk excuus nu aangegrepen zal worden om goud te laten stijgen. (Tot nu toe werd elk economisch nieuws als negatief voor goud geïnterpreteerd, nu is het andersom.) Kortom het wordt tijd om Uw goud-aankoopprogramma, zo U dat nog niet had uitgevoerd, iets versneld uit te voeren.
Warrants zijn langlopende rechten om aandelen te mogen kopen tegen een afgesproken prijs (opties voor enkele jaren). Stijgt het aandeel in koers, dan stijgt de warrant vaak veel meer. Procentueel zit U met een warrant beter bij koersstijging, terwijl het eventuele verlies beperkt wordt omdat de prijs van de warrant veel lager is. Het is eigenlijk een ideale belegging voor de kleine man (of vrouw). Op warrants krijgt U geen dividend (op aandelen wel) maar met hoge belastingen is dividend toch niet zo interessant. | <urn:uuid:1651a7b0-d88a-41c7-be3b-b578d2299280> | {

Summary: During your morning and after commutes to and from work there are techniques you can use to stay productive.
Research has shown that humans are not very effective multitaskers. While many may think they can increase their productivity by doing multiple things at once, scientists have shown that, rather than making better use of our time, we actually perform all involved tasks at sub-optimal levels.
That being said, for those who have to commute to and from their office each day, they may feel like the time they are spending on the road is downtime they could spend learning or staying productive. Some techniques can be used to make good use of this time you spend traveling every day.
Work as You Go
If you do not need to drive during your commute and do not have to focus your attention on the road, you could use the commute time during your mornings and evenings to take care of some work. If you use a rideshare service or take a train, you can take care of emails on your phone. You could also use your laptop to take care of some work and even use your phone as a mobile hotspot to access the internet. The mobility of a laptop makes it possible to work nearly wherever you want.
If you do not wish to work during your commute, you still have ways you can stay productive. Listening to audiobooks and podcasts are a fantastic way of learning anywhere. You can listen to content that pertains to your work to learn about what others are doing and to stay up-to-date with industry trends. Self-help books can help you psychologically, while fictional works can expand your creativity.

Calculation Of Hot-Spot-Stress
Unfortunately, meshes with ideal aspect ratios are not always possible to create, which results in the element centres to be located off the extrapolation points which are recommended by the IIW. These locations are at 0.5*t and 1.5*t perpendicular to the weld, with t the thickness of the respective plate. Hence, stresses from out-off-line elements cannot be used directly for the extrapolation process for structural stresses as needed in Eurocode 3.
In those cases WeldFEM will calculate the relevant stresses in four steps:
Step 1) Locating the ideal elements
The first step includes locating the elements which centres are closest to the required extrapolation points.
The extrapolation paths are always perpendicular to the weld and start at half the length of the element edge. This is shown in the following example, where two cylindrical pipes merge at their junction.
An example in detail for one extrapolation path is shown in the following figure. Here, it is depicted how the element centre, the projected element centre and the extrapolation points are located in a non rectangular mesh. For the example shown below, the elements 1a) and 1b) for the flange as well as 2a) and 2b) for the web have been identified by WeldFEM as elements used to provide the relevant extrapolation stresses.
Step 2) Transformation of the element stresses
Since the assessment for fatigue in Eurocode 3 is also based on stresses in the weld coordinate system, a transformation of the extracted element stresses has to be performed according to the description of Extraction And Transformation Of The Required Stress Values.
Step 3) Selection of stress type for extrapolation
Now that WeldFEM has determined the elements needed and has the transformed stresses available, the next step consists of selecting the right stress types for the extrapolation process. For that, the stress types in question need to be compared regarding their orientation relative to the weld and their absolute values.
The IIW recommends selecting the stress type based on the following:
- If the principal stress with the highest absolute value acts in an angle equal or less than 60° to the welds perpendicular direction, then this principal stress shall be taken for the extrapolation process.
- If this is not the case the normal stress perpendicular to the weld or the principal stress with the smaller absolute value shall be used. Which one of both, depends on which stress type presents the higher absolute value.
Step 4) Interpolating stresses
Now that WeldFEM has determined which stress types per element is needed, the interpolation process can be done. In order to use stresses at said extrapolation points according to IIW an fitting process is used first. For this, the assumption is made that the stress distribution perpendicular to the weld and along the sheet surface can be represented by a logarithmic regression curve, as shown in the following example.
Note: The example shown below does not present a noticeable increase in stress near the weld seam transition, because the stress distribution shown applies to the underlying FE-model and not the real structure. The real structure would show a stress peak at the weld seam transition because of the notch effect.
The logarithmic regression can be described by the following equation . With the stresses at point A' and B' the parameters a and b can be determined. After determining both parameters, the stresses at the extrapolation points A and B can be calculated. The distance from the intersection of the mid-planes to the extrapolation points A and B is the input for the equation while the output will be the stresses at the extrapolation points, respectively.
Step 5) Extrapolation stresses
After WeldFEM determined the stresses at the extrapolation points A and B, the structural stress is calculated.
For this, WeldFEM extrapolates the stresses at point A and B linearly up to the intersection of the mid-planes, as shown in the figure below. | <urn:uuid:612f222d-c014-4fa6-8799-d6d291381d92> | {

Patera (pa-TERR-ah): Scientists have used the Latin word patera (plural: paterae) for different kinds of volcanic features from early in Mars exploration. This naming convention, or nomenclature, was used before they were more certain of the features they were observing.
All paterae describe broad, shallow depressions or hollows, usually with irregular outlines. Many are actually calderas, the shallow depressions found at the summits of volcanoes. A caldera forms when the column of molten rock inside a volcano recedes, and the unsupported summit rocks collapse partially. In cases where several calderas overlap, it indicates that magma has risen and fallen several times inside the volcano.
Patera is also the name given to a number of low-profile volcanic vents lying in the southern highlands, outside the rim of the Hellas impact basin. Some scientists think these are the remains of volcanoes that erupted after the basin-making impact. These paterae may be the result of an earlier kind of volcanic activity triggered by giant impacts, but not seen later in Martian history. | <urn:uuid:933e57ee-873a-4544-b012-a21b29a3c31e> | {

One of the rare benefits of being old is that I was going to shows, geeking out over records and playing in long-forgotten bands when a lot of scene history was made. Stampin’ Ground helped to lay the foundations for the mid to late nineties UK Hardcore scene. Trust me, I know these things, I was there and I bore witness to their live fury more times than I care to remember. I was old then and I’m even older now, but these tunes and this band? They’ll never get old, and they’ll always be what they always were, a blast of rampaging, unrelenting metallic Hardcore fury.
The First Two Demos are a snapshot from a time when everything was in transition and the musical blueprint of the Hardcore scene was undergoing a rapid, and constant musical evolution, and while it isn’t the most polished line-up of SG, this embryonic version of the band (which includes the vocal prowess of the mighty Paul Catten) is still a powerhouse of barely supressed anger and energy. While the annals of time haven’t been kind to some of the forebears of the harder-than-tho Hardcore scene, Stampin’ Ground are one of the exceptions to the rule and this tape proves that devastating Hardcore will always be timeless. The demons are still running amok… Tim Cundle | <urn:uuid:f86d4966-56af-42d7-b711-85ddf313e6cd> | {

Cholera Death Toll Tops 859 in War-Torn Yemen as U.S.-Backed Saudi Assault Continues
In Yemen, a civilian is dying nearly every hour from a massive cholera outbreak, as the ongoing U.S.-backed, Saudi-led bombing campaign and naval blockade has devastated the country’s health, sanitation and water systems. The World Health Organization says the number of suspected cholera cases in Yemen has now reached 101,820 and continues to rise, accounting for 859 deaths. Yemen’s healthcare system is also on the verge of collapse as many hospitals have shut down because of the ongoing U.S.-backed Saudi war. Only 45 percent of Yemen’s hospitals are still operational.
Puerto Rico Backs Statehood in Referendum Boycotted by Opposition Groups
Tens of thousands turned out Sunday for the National Puerto Rican Day Parade in New York. The parade came on the same day when Puerto Rico held a controversial referendum on political status. Ninety-seven percent of those who cast ballots voted in favor of Puerto Rico becoming the 51st state, but just 23 percent of eligible voters took part. Many Puerto Rican opposition parties called for a boycott of the vote.
Freed Political Prisoner Oscar López Rivera Joins Tens of Thousands at NYC Puerto Rican Day Parade
Tens of thousands took part in Sunday’s National Puerto Rican Day Parade here in New York. Marchers at the parade included Puerto Rican independence activist Oscar López Rivera, who was imprisoned for about 35 years. This year’s organizers chose to honor López Rivera as the parade’s first “National Freedom Hero.” But after a boycott campaign was organized by a right-wing conservative group funded by donors close to both President Trump and to Breitbart News, Oscar López Rivera announced he would march not as an official honoree but as a humble Puerto Rican and a grandfather. Democracy Now!’s Juan González was at the parade on Sunday.
The Beleaguered Tenants of “Kushnerville”: Jared Kushner Accused of Slumlord Practices in Baltimore
“The Beleaguered Tenants of ‘Kushnerville.’” That’s the headline of a recent piece in ProPublica about the real estate dealings of Trump’s son-in-law and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner. The piece looks at how Kushner’s former company Kushner Companies has acted as a “neglectful and litigious” landlord of low-income housing units in Baltimore. ProPublica reporter Alec MacGillis chronicles how Kushner Companies hounded low-income tenants with a barrage of lawsuits, eviction notices and late fees—even when the tenants were in the right. Tenants also described terrible maintenance practices, which created nearly unlivable conditions for some families.
Trump Associate & “Slumlord” Tom Barrack Resigns One Day After Probe of Housing Crisis
We end today’s show looking at the real estate dealings of another one of Donald Trump’s closest associates: Thomas Barrack. Last week, the reporter Aaron Glantz of the investigative news site Reveal exposed how Barrack profited off the housing crisis by buying 31,000 single-family homes—mostly foreclosures—then bumped up the rents and in many cases allowed the properties to fall into disrepair. Glantz reported that Barrack’s actions as head of Colony Starwood Homes made him tantamount to a modern-day slumlord. On Friday—one day after Glantz’s piece was published—Barrack sold all of his stock in Colony Starwood Homes and resigned his position as co-chair of its Board of Trustees. | <urn:uuid:3192f3de-59ab-4c08-b7a4-beec964e80d5> | {

Star-Studded Chicago 7 a Timely Tale of Protest, Injustice and Personal Courage
It feels obvious to state that Aaron Sorkin’s The Trial of the Chicago 7 is a bit on the timely side as far its release this weekend is concerned. Hitting Netflix less than three weeks before the Presidential election on Nov. 3, the parallels between the 1969 political show trial of the eight men charged for instigating the riots during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago and what’s been happening in streets across the country today aren’t exactly subtle.
Many viewers are going to read much of what happens in this film to be a commentary on the current political situation in the United States, and that’s just fine. For my part, I went into watching this one sadly knowing precious little about these historical events other than bits and pieces we went over in one of my introductory Political Science classes when I was a freshman at the University of Washington. The riots and how they started? How newly elected President Richard Nixon’s Justice Department was able to find a way to charge this group of men of crossing state lines to start a riot? The shocking ineptitude of Judge Julius Hoffman (Frank Langella)? Most of this was new to me, so as dramatic reenactments of semi-recent history are concerned to say my interest was piqued would be an understatement.
If only Sorkin the writer had found someone other than Sorkin the director to handle his script. While a good, highly engaging film filled with sublime moments, there are still tons of little hiccups that kept me from falling completely in love with this one. There is a heavy-handed didacticism to the material that can feel a little smothering. Very little about this presentation is anything close to understated, and there are moments throughout where it’s somewhat clear Sorkin is attempting to channel his inner Robert Mulligan (To Kill a Mockingbird) or Rob Reiner (A Few Good Men) and failing to do so.
Then there is the ending. Much like with Sorkin’s directorial debut Molly’s Game, this one drops the ball right at the end. Thankfully, also like that one the positive aspects of this production are so voluminous this egregious, almost insultingly mediocre and blatantly preachy misstep isn’t as disastrous as it could have been. Still, from Daniel Pemberton’s (The Man from U.N.C.L.E.) smothering score to the overblown framing of this histrionic denouement, I cannot say the climax did all that much for me.
Yet The Trial of the Chicago 7 is still pretty dang entertaining. Sorkin’s dialogue is frequently killer, and in the hands of an eclectic all-star cast featuring the likes of Langella, Sacha Baron Cohen, John Carroll Lynch, Eddie Redmayne, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Michael Keaton, Jeremy Strong and Mark Rylance, it’s all delivered with such pinpoint precision I was oftentimes in awe. Cohen is surprisingly great as Abbie Hoffman, while Redmayne brings Tom Hayden to life with startling effectiveness. Lynch (as Mobilization to End the War in Vietnam leader David Dellinger) has a couple of terrifically memorable scenes, specifically one where the revered pacifist loses his even-tempered cool in front of his family and the look of shame that crosses his face is nothing short of devastating.
The best of this talented bunch end up being Rylance and Strong. The former plays defense attorney William Kunstler, his battle of wills with Judge Hoffman a thing of exasperating beauty. As for Strong, he completely disappears into his portrayal of Hoffman’s best friend and fellow comedic iconoclast Jerry Rubin, and it took me half the film to realize it was him in the role. His performance is a constant revelation, his pained, mournful fury during the flashbacks depicting the 1968 Chicago DNC riots breathtakingly extraordinary.
I can’t help but think a tighter motion picture could have been made out of Sorkin’s energetically dynamic script. Once upon a time Steven Spielberg wanted to make this one, and it’s difficult not to imagine what he or the writer’s The Social Network collaborator David Fincher might have done with this material had they stepped behind the camera.
But as those are what-if scenarios and nothing more. I can only take The Trial of the Chicago 7 for what it is and not speculate on any woulda coulda shoulda’s. On that front, Sorkin’s latest directorial offering is timely, engaging and undeniably thought-provoking. It is also spectacularly acted across the board. All of this helps offset a small handful of missteps that admittedly did annoy me, and for this jury of one I still found this story of injustice, sacrifice, personal courage and protest worthy of my enthusiastic support.

The shipping firm looks at East Africa to explore new sea routes and container cargoes to Europe and the U.S. to increase
Hanjin Shipping Co. will try to crack the East African sea routes this year to turn the company’ s operation to end in black ink, President Kim Young-min said recently.
The CEO at a media briefing on March 17, said this year looks good for shipping as shipping charges for containers may be raised, especially, in the U.S. and East European routes where container cargoes have began to increase, unlike the first quarter last year.
Hanjin Shipping posted 10.17 trillion won in revenue last year, exceeding for the first time 10 trillion won mark in its history, but ended the year in loss of 143.6 billion won with the loss of 218.4 billion won in the first quarter last year was too much for the company to recover.
The company posted profits in the second and third quarters in the year last year, cutting the loss to minimum compared to its rival shipping firms in the world.
President Kim said he is not sure whether the company will be able to make profit this year, but he will do every thing to avoid the deficit in operation by employing all kinds of management strategies. He said the slow timing strategy to save operational expenses will be employed first in order to cut the fuel costs, which usually take up around 20 percent of total operational expenses annually.
The slow timing strategy would also make more rooms for other ships to operate and reduce the number of idle ships. He also said the company will explore new markets in East Africa for cargoes with many African countries seeing their economies grow. Hanjin already assigned a number of its vessels to serve shipping routes in West Africa last year and will start to assign its ships to serve the sea lanes in East Africa from March 26 linking Mundra, India, Karachi, Pakistan, Jebel Alley, the United Arab Emirates, Mombasa, Kenya, and Dar Es Salam, Tanzania,
President Kim went on to say that the shipping business is on the way to recovery a little by little, but its too early to order new ships as there are still excess number of ships in operation. He thinks that the prices of ships are so low that some new ship orders have been issued, but it is not yet a full recovery of the shipping business.
Hanjin is a business enterprise with the transportation sector accounting for more than 70 percent of its business. Since November 1945, Hanjin has steadily expanded its business horizon during past 65 years and has become one of the world’s leading transportation group, offering its services in the air and at sea as well as on land. On land, aviation and marine transportation is provided as its main line of business and we have also become a provider of information and communication on transportation. Hanjin led the nation’s efforts for internationalization and globalization in worldwide marketing, information and personnel and business management. It has also carried out public offering of its shares and specialization of its businesses while it was paying close and equal attention to the public welfare area such as medical care and education.
Serving the Nation and Creating Affluence
Following the founder Cho Choong Hoon’s idea that Hanjin would contribute to the development of society and mankind through transportation, the group has been growing in all areas of service under the company motto: ideas and faith, sincerity and practice, and responsibility and service. Through its aviation, marine and land transportation, information and communication service of the Hanjin Group will try and create a means to overcome the barriers of time and space as much as possible.
Creating the World’ s Top-class Transportation and information Service
In order to help create affluence for all mankind, Hanjin is establishing a network that would bring all parts of the world closer. As an integrated transportation group, Hanjin serves travelers, carries materials and provides information and means of communications. Hanjin will continue to build its worldwide network of travel service, material transportation and communication to establish Hanjin’s name firmly in the world and in our daily life. | <urn:uuid:0fd8abf9-a8ef-46b4-91e9-177007ae77a0> | {

Trendy w biżuterii na przyjęcia weselne
Według Huffington Post, Boże Narodzenie, Nowy Rok i Walentynki to najpopularniejsze święta dla propozycji małżeńskich. Jeśli niedawno zaręczyłaś się w okresie ferii zimowych, prawdopodobnie nie możesz się doczekać, aby zacząć planować swój wielki dzień. Na szczęście jest to sezon na targi ślubne w Connecticut! Zima to świetny czas na te wydarzenia, ponieważ styczeń, luty i marzec są uważane za poza sezonem na śluby, ale to świetny czas na planowanie. Podczas uczestnictwa w tych pokazach, należy zawsze mieć na uwadze najnowsze trendy, aby pomóc Ci podjąć najlepsze decyzje na najbardziej wyjątkowy dzień w swoim życiu.
Wśród sezonu ekspozycji ślubnych, stało się "w" trend dla panny młodej, aby wybrać kolor i długość dla jej druhen sukienki, ale aby umożliwić poszczególnych kobiet, aby wybrać styl sukni, który jest najbardziej pochlebne na nią.
Biorąc pod uwagę każdy ma inny typ ciała i kształt, ta sama sukienka nie jest gwarantowana, aby być pochlebne na każdej kobiety typu ciała.
Podobnie jak w przypadku sukienek, trend ten rozciąga się również na biżuterię. Hannoush Jewelers ma wielką linię kolczyków, które mogą być sparowane z każdym stylu i koloru sukni druhny, aby dodać indywidualny styl do zespołu.
Każdy kolor ma kolor uzupełniający; w przypadku biżuterii, to jest popularne, aby wybrać kolorowy kawałek oświadczenia, które sprawia, że odcień odzieży pop. Dla partii ślubnej, co oświadczenie kawałek para kolczyki jest wyjątkowy, ponieważ nie są one prawdopodobnie odwrócić uwagę od panny młodej. Duży naszyjnik lub chytry bransoletka może nie być to, co panna młoda ma na myśli dla swoich druhen, ale ona może pozostać otwarty, pozwalając im wybrać zabawne i zgodne parę kolczyków.
Top kolory dla druhen "sukienki trendów teraz obejmują miętowy, koral, szmaragd i ciemny niebieski, ponieważ pary dobrze z bardziej neutralnych kolorów, aby utworzyć zrównoważony schemat kolorów. Jednym z najlepszych kamieni pasuje do miętowego zielonego jest czarny diament. Lekkość mięty kontrastuje z ciemnym kolczyk sprawi, że kolor sukni pop nawet więcej. Czarne diamenty mogą być nabyte preferencji dla biżuterii, więc jeśli druhna jest ostrożny, po prostu sparować swoją suknię miętowy z diamentem ustawić w białym złocie.
Koral mecze wyjątkowo dobrze z szafirem, ponieważ pomarańczowy i niebieski są przeciwieństwami na kole kolorów. Jeśli szafir jest zbyt ciemny, niebieski kamień topaz będzie wyróżniać się, jak również, ale koral nie będzie pop jak dużo.
Innym popularnym kolorem sukni jest szmaragd. Zielony pary doskonale z ametystu, więc każda para kolczyków z fioletowym kamieniem jest pewien, aby wyglądać pięknie z szmaragdowym sukni.
Wreszcie, ciemny niebieski jest tak popularny kolor ślubu, ale najtrudniejsze do dopasowania z biżuterią. W oparciu o koncepcję kolorów uzupełniających, żółty par dobrze z niebieskim, więc diament i kolczyki citrine jest opcja. Jednak, ponieważ żółty ma tendencję do być mniej popularny kolor kamienia, rubin byłby następny najlepszy wybór.
Następnym krokiem po podjęciu decyzji o kamieniu jest wybór między stud lub drop earring. Wytyczne do naśladowania są proste; sukienka z paskami lub zajęty top jest najlepiej dopasowane z parą stadnin tak, że kolczyki nie są rozproszeniem i sukienka bez ramiączek potrzebuje kolczyka kropli, aby przyciągnąć uwagę.
Podczas gdy ten sam styl sukni może nie schlebiać wszystkim różnych typów ciała swoich druhen, nie można się pomylić z piękną parą kolorowych kolczyków na wesele. | <urn:uuid:f1d518a4-0da8-48a3-89a5-f8e43a293b91> | {

Comments/Ratings for a Single Item
Permalink to the exact comments currently displayed.
- Specifies the CommentID of a particular comment. This will be an integer. Shows only this comment and causes all other parameters to be ignored.
- Specifies a starting point from which comments will be selected in ascending order by CommentID, stopping when the limit is reached.
- Specifies a starting point from which comments will be selected in descending order by CommentID, stopping when the limit is reached.
- first and last
- When used together, these specify a precise range of comments that begins with first and ends with last. When the limit is not already set, it will be set equal in size to this range or to 100, whichever is less.
- Specifes how many comments to return. The default is 25 or the difference between first and last, though not exceeding 100, which is the maximum size allowed.
- Specifies the name or PersonID of a commentor whose comments will be displayed. This checks the Name column, which is usually used for a PersonID, but has sometimes been used for a name.
- Set this as true to only include comments with a PersonID matching "author" (not non-logged-in users).
- Specifies a particular itemid to display comments for. Useful for displaying the comments for a particular page. This value must be entirely in ASCII and no longer than 64 characters.
- Provides a search expression to search the comment text for. This is a fulltext index search. Searching is handled with MATCH AGAINST. If your expression includes any of the special characters used in BOOLEAN MODE, it will use that mode. These are +, -, <, >, (, ), ~, *, and ". Otherwise, it will search for a comment that includes any of the words you entered, which will broaden the search rather than narrow it.
- Displays only comments posted to pages.
- Displays only comments posted to game pages.
- Displays only rated comments. Note that only comments on pages can be include ratings.
- Displays only subject comments. These are comments that are identified by a subject of discussion rather than a page.
- Specifies the column in the Comments table to sort the results on. The default is CommentID, which is the table's auto-incremented primary key. It is mostly in the same order as CommentDate but will sort faster. Other sortable options include ItemID, Rating, Commentary, and Name. When anything but CommentID is used, or when first or last is used, this will affect only the display order of the results, and it will be handled in the SQL as an outer select.
- Specifies the order in which results will be processed and displayed. The default is ASC, which will list results in ascending order. For CommentID or CommentDate, this would be chronological order. For text strings, it would be alphabetical order. The other possible value is DESC, which will list the same results in descending order. This will normally be reverse chronological order or z-a order. This does not have to match the selection order used with first and last. These are independent of each other, and when they are different, the display order will be indicated with an outer select. | <urn:uuid:29619c7f-fc5e-4248-9edb-ccded6ae5e07> | {

Southeast Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics, Jan.18–20, 2013, University of Central Florida
Conferences for Undergraduate Women in Physics
January 18, 2013 to January 20, 2013
University of Central Florida
We all desire to be successful, so the best stories are those that celebrate success. At the Southeast Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics (SCUWiP), where professionals from academia, industry, and government participated in a series of panel discussions, I was privy to a weekend-long banquet of telling testimonials. On the first full day, the conference commenced its schedule of events with stories of successful journeys and the obstacles encountered along the way from minorities and the minority’s minority: women of color in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Although not all women, the panelists had all experienced what it felt like to be underrepresented in STEM.
“I remember bubbling with nervous energy when the day came for university recruits to attend the grad fair,” said Peter Delfyett of the University of Central Florida. “Sweaty palms transferred my prized credentials to theirs, but all in all, I was well received.” Seated before a sea of undergraduates, Delfyett and the other panelists held no reservations as they divulged personal experiences from when they were budding minorities in their fields.
After graduating from the City College of New York (CCNY), Peter Delfyett pursued graduate studies for three years at one school before transferring back to CCNY to complete his PhD. He recalled the enthusiasm admissions personnel at that first school had displayed toward his prospective candidacy.
I remember how enthusiastic I was, gaining acceptance into this prestigious school, and at the time of my application, it seemed like they were happy too. But it was very different once I was there; there was a moment I remember walking down the hallways of my department after studying judiciously for a test, alone. I peered through a window and could see a bunch of guys in my class engaged in a group study meeting that I wasn’t invited to.
Marta McNeese of Spelman College extended those sentiments, mentioning that she is often mistaken for a custodial employee at national conferences and pestered with questions about the whereabouts of bathroom facilities. Far too often, we lose potential scientists, engineers, and pioneers in STEM fields because of biases operating at an unconscious level—petty, yet powerful predispositions.
“Throughout my studies it was like chipping away at an iceberg with a toothpick,” said Cecille Labuda of the University of Mississippi. “As women we are already the minority, but as a foreign native there was additional pressure to prove myself.” Born in the island nation of Dominica, Labuda reinforced the importance of perseverance, stating that if you want it bad enough, you’ll make it happen and everything else, obstacles mental or otherwise, will become background noise.
“It’s like Whistling Vivaldi,” she explained. In this book, which studies the negative effects of stereotypes, especially in education, an African American whistles classical music (composed by Vivaldi) to dispel any unease his counterparts anticipated in his presence.
This portion of the Southeastern Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics illuminated the progress women have made in the historically male-dominated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Undergraduates were also exposed to the discouraging bias often present in the collegiate environment and the lack of diversity among women in STEM fields.
The attendees were also, and more importantly, encouraged to succeed. Despite changing schools, Delfyett holds 34 US patents, has published over 600 articles in refereed journals, and is a recipient of the National Science Foundation Presidential Faculty Fellow Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, awarded to the nation’s top 20 scientists each year. McNeese earned her PhD at MIT and in 2000 made the decision to join the faculty at Spelman College, a historically black college. Her desire is to champion the field of physics as a viable career option for African American women. Labuda earned a bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD in physics, and as a professor at the University of Mississippi, her research interests are supported by the National Institutes of Health.
Whether it is by accomplishing one’s studies at a more fitting institution, purposefully ignoring biased profiling, or whistling a classical tune, the underrepresented must find a means to persevere and make gains. Stereotypes are perhaps an inherent challenge of living in a diverse society, and to combat them we must stake a claim to our interests. //

TURIN – The appointment with the twelfth edition of Terra Madre Salone del Gusto is approaching. From 20 to 24 September, the city of Turin will host this international event dedicated to agro-biodiversity, which will also feature the Maremma Slow Food presidents.
Among those who carry the flag of Grosseto, we find
Jacopo Goracci, who besides directing the splendid Estate full-time
of Paganico, is president of the Maremma Bazza Cattle Association and is
head of the Presidium of the Maremmana Breed for Slow Food. To the ground
Mother, will be present in three forums held at the Lingotto
On September 21st, from 10.30am to 12.00pm, he will be a speaker at
debate “Beyond the CAP: towards a common food policy” where it is
will address the need for a new European support policy for
farms and then, from 14:00 to 16:00, will be the
moderator for the forum “Quality breeding – The cattle” where
breeding methods able to preserve the environment will be presented
and animal welfare.
Moreover, September 22nd from 16:00 to 18:00 will be among the speakers
of the forum “Quality breeding – Pigs”, where Slow breeders
Food will present alternative forms of farming
Jacopo Goracci graduated in Animal Production Sciences in Pisa
and has obtained a doctorate on the link between pasture and quality of
meat of the Cinta Senese pigs.
Strong of his academic background, with his reflections there
will allow to analyze some food issues more
In a recent interview, Goracci analyzes the concept of organic,
which for us consumers is equivalent to a guarantee for the quality of the
food, but that actually deserves careful analysis.
The “bio”, which invades the shelves of the big chains of
supermarket, it is not the same that can be found only by the little ones
This is one of the many interesting points of reflection that
will turn on the debate in the forums chaired by Jacopo Goracci and by
representatives of Slow Food presidia. | <urn:uuid:f1b27a63-b67a-40f1-a416-77fda2a206d8> | {

There was an article recently in the Washington Post about Joshua Bell, considered one of the world’s greatest violinists out there today, playing just outside a subway exit for 45 minutes and receiving barely any attention at all.
The article reflects to me my own reactions to busking: I appreciate the sounds and do listen intently as I walk hurriedly past, barely taking the time to acknowledge the busker with a glance. Yes, I enjoy the music. Yes, I’m usually busy. Yes, I feel guilty for not flicking a coin or two into the busker’s case.
A couple of weeks ago, I was casually walking around the Annex, enjoying a warmer sunny afternoon than we’ve had for a while. A small band of three twenty-something boys was clustered on a corner, busking away in the sun.
But there was something special this time – the drummer was really, really good. He was belting out a rhythm that had me captivated. I caught his eye. I hesitated. I could just tell that a crowd wanted to form, but the timid Torontonians around, myself included, just couldn’t bring ourselves to stop and listen for a few moments. All of us who noticed that group moved on.
I’ve never really shown that my enjoyment of the music I’ve heard on the streets. When I do look at the busker, I’m sure there’s some strange expression of the need for reservation and stoicness in my eyes that they must recognise in most passersby. I never remember where I was rushing to when I do recall a public performance such as this, though I usually recall the performances themselves. And it’s so damn difficult to stop, dig through my purse, open it and find appropriate change – if I even have any on me.
And so I move on… and it will likely remain that way. It truly is a matter, for me, of the music being out of context. Even though, as the years pass and the buskers remain on the street, “context” must eventually evolve to include “the street” as one other place one would expect to hear musicians – even great ones. | <urn:uuid:ed2fd5d6-a0e7-4307-a1a7-5e97027e335f> | {

Bluffing stands as one of the quintessential elements of poker, a strategic maneuver that can sway the outcome of a hand. In online poker, where physical tells are absent, mastering the art of bluffing requires a combination of strategy, psychology, and skillful execution. Let’s explore the intricacies of bluffing in online poker and how players can employ this technique effectively.
Understanding Bluffing in Online Poker
- Strategic Deception: Bluffing involves representing a stronger hand than what you actually hold, aiming to deceive opponents into folding better hands.
- Risk vs. Reward: Bluffing is a calculated risk. Successful bluffs can yield significant rewards, while poorly executed bluffs can result in losses.
Factors Influencing Successful Bluffing
- Table Image: Establishing a credible table image is crucial. Players who rarely bluff may find their bluffs more believable, while frequent bluffers risk being called out.
- Position and Betting Patterns: Bluffing from late positions or after showing strength in previous rounds can make bluffs more convincing.
Types of Bluffs in Online Poker
- Semi-Bluff: Betting with a drawing hand that has the potential to improve on future streets, adding an element of genuine strength to the bluff.
- Pure Bluff: Betting with a weak or marginal hand, relying solely on the belief that opponents will fold.
Psychological Aspects of Bluffing
- Reading Opponents: Observing opponents’ behavior, betting patterns, and tendencies can provide insight into when they’re likely to fold or call a bluff.
- Maintaining a Balanced Strategy: A balanced approach to bluffing involves mixing bluffs with strong hands, preventing opponents from accurately predicting your actions.
Executing Effective Bluffs in Online Poker
- Timing and Situation: Choose opportune moments to bluff, considering the board texture, opponents’ tendencies, and the narrative of the hand.
- Sizing and Consistency: Proper bet sizing that’s consistent with previous actions can make bluffs more credible, as erratic betting patterns may raise suspicions.
Managing Risks and Consequences
- Bluff-to-Value Ratio: Balancing bluffs with value bets ensures a well-rounded strategy, preventing over-reliance on bluffing.
- Bankroll Management: Bluffing should align with your bankroll and risk tolerance, avoiding excessive risks that could deplete your funds.
Bluffing in online poker is an art that combines strategy, observation, and psychology. It’s a tool in a player’s arsenal, utilized to create doubt in opponents’ minds, gain an edge, and capitalize on strategic opportunities.
However, successful bluffing requires a nuanced approach, incorporating timing, situational awareness, and the ability to read opponents’ behaviors. Mastering the art of bluffing in online poker is a skill that evolves with experience, practice, and a deep understanding of the game’s dynamics.
Disclaimer: Bluffing in poker involves risks and should be approached with careful consideration of opponents, game dynamics, and one’s own skill level. | <urn:uuid:51f9e090-72ef-4644-8d6c-3bc3b94289d9> | {

A proposed change to Michigan’s natural resource funding could cost you the next time you renew your license plate. The director of the Department of Natural Resources has acknowledged that the proposal would be “more burdensome” for drivers.
Under a recommendation included in Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s annual budget proposal, drivers renewing their plate would be automatically opted in to purchase a state recreation passport, a symbol on a license plate that allows vehicle entry to state parks, campgrounds and trails for one year after its purchase.
Currently, the passport is available for $14 when ordering or renewing a vehicle’s license plate, with the default renewal option not including the purchase. Officials have proposed automatically including the charge in Michigan residents’ plate renewals, a change that the state estimates would bring in over $17 million annually.
Drivers would still be able to opt out of purchasing the service, but would need to intentionally make the decision to do so. The specific method of opting out is still being determined, but officials have suggested a postcard sized reimbursement form with prepaid postage.
While most Michigan drivers would see their renewal cost increase, Michigan’s veterans would be granted a passport free of charge. The state is home to over 550,000 veterans, according to 2023 figures from the Michigan Department of Military and Veterans affairs. This exemption would result in a $4 million loss in revenue, officials said.
Scott Bowen, director of the DNR, said at a House hearing that the change is “significant and necessary” to address an “ongoing backlog of infrastructure preventative maintenance and operational needs in our state parks.”
“The change to the opt-out model is necessary to the future of our parks,” he said. Bowen said the passport system included access to over 100 state parks, 1,300 boating launch sites and 13,500 miles of trails, many of which have seen increased attendance and decreased state general fund dollars over the years.
“The reality is that our 105 year old park system has over $1 billion in assets and has never been sustainably funded,” Bowen said. In 1970, the DNR received 68% of its funding from the state’s general fund. Now, that figure is only 3%.
The funding would go towards six main areas under starting budget figures recommended by Whitmer: $8.6 million for capital expenses; $5.2 million for park operations and maintenance; $1.7 million for local public recreation facilities grants; $1.2 million for state forest campgrounds and pathways; $500,000 for state park cultural and historic resources; and under $100,000 for promotion of state parks and recreation areas.
Currently, around 38% of drivers opt in to purchase a recreation passport with their license plate renewal, according to Jason Crandoll, acting budget officer for the department. Under the new system, Crandoll estimates that figure would increase to 60%.
Bowen faced pushback from Rep. Ken Borton, R-Gaylord, at the hearing. Borton said the proposal would essentially “force” drivers to pay the extra $14, possibly without knowledge of the change.
“‘Forcing them’ is, I think, a little strong,” Bowen said in response. “Anybody who can’t afford it, opt out. It’s literally a postcard. And I don’t think that burden is too much to have world class funding for world class parks. It is more burdensome, and that’s why we expect more revenue — but the truth is it’s not that big a burden. And if I had my druthers, I’d put it on every car so we can have more trails and more parks.”
Ed Golder, public information officer for the DNR, said the department wanted to provide the opportunity to opt out “very easily.”
“We’re going to provide every opportunity for people who don’t want to participate to not participate,” he said.
Following the meeting, Borton said that the proposal in its current form would essentially “trick” drivers into paying for a service that they may not plan on using.
“They’re expecting the amount of usage to go from 38% to 60% because they know a lot of people who have no intentions of using a state park will be tricked,” he said. “They won’t send a postcard back — that’s junk mail, they’re going to throw it in the trash. I think they’re taking advantage of the average motorist in the state forcing them into something.”
Borton said that he supported the recreation pass and DNR funding in general and suggested charging more for frequent park visitors like himself.
“But don’t force people unwittingly into paying for something that they have no intentions of ever using,” he said. | <urn:uuid:5c67ffe9-e741-43fa-9c86-0f555ed1e267> | {

Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves opened up about the creative ways they both keep their marriage alive when things aren’t necessarily smooth sailing, explaining that it can be little things like making tea for each other.
During their joint appearance in an upcoming episode of “Your Mama’s Kitchen” podcast, the “Interstellar” star told the host how the couple often uses food to handle marital squabbles, People magazine reported.
“In the middle of that disagreement, if I was to say,[be] the cook that night and I was doing my steak sushi dinner, if I’m gonna give you — slice you off another bite, and then go serve you, there’s an invisible dissipation to the disagreement that happens in my service to her,” McConaughey told the host in a clip obtained by the outlet.
Camila and Matthew McConaughey’s Morning Routine Is Always the Same Even If They’re ‘in a Disagreement’ https://t.co/prDG0qo5Hx
— People (@people) January 23, 2024
“That I handed her a gift,” he added. “Of something that we were already really enjoying. That I continued.”
The “Dallas Buyers Club” star said just because they were not always in agreement, that didn’t mean they would ever “quit serving” each other.
“I’m still going to serve my lady [at] my steak sushi because I know she loves it, even though we may be in a disagreement,” he added, noting that “a sweet food” can also “de-escalate some things, even if it’s a nice piece of chocolate or some ice cream.”
McConaughey said little things really make a difference in marriage, Fox News noted.
“I don’t make my tea as good as you,” Matthew said to his wife, the outlet noted. “But the fact that you make my tea and serve me my tea in the morning makes me go: ‘It just tastes better.’”
“Even if you and I are in a disagreement, the fact that you still make my tea in the morning, serving my tea … it’s the difference between being married and dating,” he added.
“Yeah. Trust me, ladies, some mornings I do not want to serve that tea,” Alves quipped.
“But she still will make it for me anyway!” McConaughey replied.
“[When you’re] dating somebody and suddenly you get in disagreement [you think] ‘oh, this is a sign of things to come. Better get out now,’” he added. “But you’re married and you disagree. You’re like, ‘I’m not pulling the parachute. This is part of it. I’m going to work through this. I’m still going to serve my man his tea. I’m still gonna serve my lady her steak sushi because I know she loves it.’ Even though we may be in a disagreement.”
Camila and Matthew tied the knot in 2012, and the couple share three children together. | <urn:uuid:8247ecb2-3094-41e7-a26b-0e85cd2151fd> | {

As a rental property owner, you’ve probably heard your fair share of squatting horror stories.
But what exactly is squatting? And what are squatters’ rights in Fort Collins?
In this article, we’ll explore the legal definition of squatting, delve into the history of squatters’ rights in Fort Collins, outline how squatters' rights work, and discuss ways to protect your property from squatters.
Let’s dive in!
Disclaimer: The information provided in this blog does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice; instead, all information, content, and materials available in this blog are for general informational purposes only.
The Legal Definition of Squatting
Squatting, also known as adverse possession, means living in or taking possession of a property that belongs to someone else, without their permission. In Fort Collins, squatters may attempt to gain legal ownership of a property by satisfying specific legal requirements defined by adverse possession laws.
The History of Squatting Laws in Colorado
In the state’s early, Wild West days, squatting was a common practice, and Colorado had much more lenient regulations regarding adverse possession. Individuals would settle on unclaimed lands and establish their homes and livelihoods. This was often done out of necessity, as settlers sought to build a better life for themselves and their families. Basically, at that time, squatters were pioneers.
As Colorado and Fort Collins grew and became more urbanized, though, the government recognized the need to establish clear property rights and boundaries. This led to the implementation of laws and regulations surrounding squatting and adverse possession.
Over the years, the legal landscape has changed significantly. The state of Colorado has tightened its grip on property ownership, making it more challenging for squatters to successfully claim adverse possession. This shift reflects evolving societal values and the desire to protect property rights.
The Difference Between Trespassing and Squatting
While trespassing and squatting may seem similar, they are legally distinct. Trespassing typically refers to the act of entering someone else's property without permission, while squatting involves the continuous occupation of a property without ownership or authorization.
Trespassing is generally considered a criminal offense and can result in legal consequences such as fines or imprisonment. Squatting, on the other hand, involves a more complex legal situation. It is not simply a matter of trespassing, but rather a prolonged occupation of a property without the owner's consent. Squatters may argue that they have fulfilled the requirements for adverse possession, which can vary depending on the jurisdiction.
The laws regarding squatting and adverse possession differ from state to state and even within different municipalities. That means that the rules might be different in Fort Collins than, say, Boulder. As a property owner, it’s critical that you are informed about local laws and seek legal advice if faced with a squatting situation.
The Process of Adverse Possession in Fort Collins
The Colorado adverse possession law defines specific requirements for individuals seeking to claim ownership through adverse possession. These requirements typically include open and notorious possession, continuous occupation for a minimum of 18 years, or for seven years with color of title and payment of property taxes.
Adverse possession claims require strong evidence to support the squatter's case. The burden of proof lies with the squatter, who must demonstrate that they have met all the necessary requirements and acted in good faith.
But hey, we’re property managers, not lawyers! Be sure to speak with a Fort Collins-based real estate attorney to confirm these requirements and determine whether they apply to your situation.
Rights and Protections for Squatters
Although squatters operate outside of the bounds of legal ownership, they still have certain rights and protections under Colorado law.
Squatters’ Rights in Fort Collins
Despite the illicit nature of squatting, Fort Collins provides limited protection for squatters. The law typically requires property owners to follow strict eviction procedures before forcibly removing squatters.
How Property Owners Can Prevent Squatting
Property owners in Fort Collins have various options and strategies to prevent squatters from occupying their properties illegally.
Regular Property Inspections and Maintenance
Regular inspections and maintenance are essential for property owners to identify any unauthorized occupants or signs of squatting. Prompt action can help prevent potential adverse possession claims.
If you live out-of-state, or if you’re just not up to the task, a property management company can do this on your behalf.
Legal Actions Against Squatters
Property owners have legal remedies available to handle squatters effectively. This can include initiating eviction proceedings, obtaining court orders, and seeking assistance from law enforcement to regain control of the property.
Remember: Speak with a legal professional before taking any action.
Final Thoughts: Squatters’ Rights in Fort Collins
In conclusion, understanding squatters' rights in Fort Collins is critical for rental property owners. By understanding adverse possession, the rights and protections for squatters, and the actions property owners can take to prevent and evict squatters, all parties involved can navigate this complex issue more effectively. Remaining vigilant, conducting regular property inspections, and seeking legal guidance when needed will help you maintain the security and integrity of your property.

| On Software
Benjamin H. Bratton
What has planetary-scale computation done to our geopolitical realities? It takes different forms at different scales—from energy and mineral sourcing and subterranean cloud infrastructure to urban software and massive universal addressing systems; from interfaces drawn by the augmentation of the hand and eye to users identified by self-quantification and the arrival of legions of sensors, algorithms, and robots. Together, how do these distort and deform modern political geographies and produce new territories in their own image?
In The Stack: On Software and Sovereignty, Benjamin H. Bratton proposes that these different genres of computation—smart grids, cloud plaforms, mobile apps, smart cities, the Internet of Things, automation— can be seen not as so many species evolving on their own, but as forming a coherent whole: an accidental megastructure called The Stack that is both a computational apparatus and a new governing architecture. We are inside The Stack and it is inside of us.
In an account that is both theoretical and technical, drawing on political philosophy, architectural theory, and software studies, Bratton explores six layers of The Stack: Earth, Cloud, City, Address, Interface, User. Each is mapped on its own terms and understood as a component within the larger whole built from hard and soft systems intermingling—not only computational forms but also social, human, and physical forces. This model, informed by the logic of the multilayered structure of protocol “stacks,” in which network technologies operate within a modular and vertical order, offers of a comprehensive image of our emerging infrastructure and a platform for its ongoing reinvention.
The Stack is an interdisciplinary design brief for a new geopolitics that works with and for planetary-scale computation. Interweaving the continental, urban, and perceptual scales, it shows how we can better build, dwell within, communicate with, and govern our worlds.
“In The Stack, Benjamin Bratton shows, with brilliant insight and imagination, what the world is coming to look like in an era of planetary-scale computing. He cuts through many received ideas about technology, globalization, and so forth and presents a fresh vision of the architecture of the world.”
--McKenzie Wark, author of Molecular Red: Theory for the Anthropocene
“Endlessly thought-provoking, this amazing book is both cognitive mapping and a projective geometry of the new dimensions of technological reality we live in.”
--Kim Stanley Robinson, author of 2312
“The Stack is a major achievement. It is more than just philosophy of technology, software studies, or design criticism; it analyzes and guides our thinking in a baffling Anthropocenic era when computation works at the planetary scale and constitutes governance.”
--Natalie Jeremijenko, Associate Professor of Art, Computer Science, and Environmental Studies, New York University
“The Stack imagines a design brief for the whole world while floating or falling through all the ever-efflorescent plasmas and atmospheres of digital information.”
--Keller Easterling, Professor, Yale School of Architecture; author of Extrastatecraft: The Power of Infrastructure Space
“This political geography of computation is a strange, marvelous text of great conceptual beauty. Benjamin Bratton’s The Stack breaks more new ground than a carpet bombing. The Stack itself may or may not exist, but it’s left everything that came before it in a state of rubble.” | <urn:uuid:128c7c54-5a81-4d83-a9cc-83c3eb259eb2> | {

If you're planning on installing a backyard pool, you want to learn about fencing regulations. Even if you're not required to put up a pool fence, you may want to for safety reasons. You may not have children of your own, but a fence will still be handy for keeping guests out of your pool. You won't have the nagging concern of someone falling into your pool by accident. Plus, your homeowner's insurance coverage may specify you need a fence when you put in a new pool. | <urn:uuid:3dad1b77-4011-4d41-a7d6-c19e42ba641a> | {

페르소나와 연극의 이중성, 그리고 삶의 이중성
글_이연심 (무학여자고등학교 교사)
자신은 출연하지 않으면서 분신과 같은 배우를 통해 자신의 예술세계를 표현하고 있으니 배우라는 존재가 얼마나 소중하고 고맙겠는가?
얼마 전 제 72회 칸국제영화제에서 영화 ‘기생충’이 한국영화 최초로 최우수작품상인 황금종려상을 수상하였다는 소식이 온갖 매체를 뒤덮었다. 한동안 수상소식이 화제가 되었고 소식을 듣자마자 개봉을 기다리는 사람도 참 많았다. 한국 영화 최초의 수상소식 못지않게 화제가 되었던 것은 수상식에서 보인 봉준호 감독의 행동이었다. 봉준호 감독은 황금종려상을 수상한 뒤 소감을 말하던 중 객석에서 기뻐하고 있던 송강호를 호명했고, 포토월에서는 무릎을 꿇고 자신이 받은 황금종려상 트로피를 송강호를 향해 들어 올리는 포즈를 취한 것이다. 감독이 배우에게 보여줄 있는 최고의 예우를 보여준 것이다. 배우의 입장에서 보면 수상도 감격이었겠지만, 감독이 보여준 마음이 더 감격이었을지도 모른다. 한국영화사를 새롭게 쓴 두 사람의 관계를 ‘페르소나(persona)’라는 말로 표현한다. 배우 송강호는 감독 봉준호의 페르소나인 것이다. 이는 단순히 한 작품 속의 캐릭터를 소화한 배우라는 입장을 넘어 한 감독의 예술적 정체성을 가장 잘 표현한 배우라는 의미이므로 감독에게 배우는 자신의 자화상이자 특정한 상징을 표현한다. 자신은 출연하지 않으면서 분신과 같은 배우를 통해 자신의 예술세계를 표현하고 있으니 배우라는 존재가 얼마나 소중하고 고맙겠는가? 배우가 있어 비로소 존재할 수 있는 이가 감독이라는 사람일터이니 감독에게 있어 페르소나는 무릎을 꿇고 감사를 해야 할 대상일지도 모르겠다. 우리는 영화를 통해 이 사람들의 관계를 확인한다. 배우가 표현하는 인물을 통해 감독을 확인하고, 감독이 추구하는 인물을 연기하는 배우를 확인한다. “저런저런! 찌질한 놈을 봤나”며 혀를 차면서 인물을 비판하고 “송강호, 진짜 연기 잘 한다”며 배우를 칭찬한다. 관객은 감독이 그리는 인물과 그 인물을 연기하는 배우를 동시에 보게 된다. 더 정확하게 말하자면 봉준호 감독이 설정해 놓은 인물 ‘기택’과 그 인물에 가까워지기 위해 무던히 노력하는 배우 ‘송강호’를 함께 보게 된다.
하나의 연극에서 1인 다역을 연기하는 배우가 있다고 해도 관객은 연기하는 그 순간의 실제 ‘존재하는 배우’와 ‘허구의 역할’을 만나게 된다. 이것을 연극의 이중성, 배우의 이중성, 연기의 이중성 등으로 이야기 한다.
연극도 마찬가지다. 연기는 무대 위에 ‘배우’와 ‘역할’이 함께 존재함으로써 이루어진다. 배우가 여러 역할을 연기할 때도 마찬가지일까? 하나의 연극에서 1인 다역(배우는 한 명인데 역할은 여럿인 경우)을 연기하는 배우가 있다고 해도 관객은 연기하는 그 순간의 실제 ‘존재하는 배우’와 ‘허구의 역할’을 만나게 된다. 이것을 ‘연극의 이중성’, ‘배우의 이중성’, ‘연기의 이중성’ 등으로 이야기 한다. 어찌 말하건 현실과 허구, 진짜 존재와 가짜 존재가 함께 존재한다는 것을 말하고 싶은 것이다. 그러니까 ‘페르소나’는 이러한 이중성을 잘 설명하는 용어 중의 하나인 것이다.
우리 일상에서도 페르소나가 있다.
우리는 심심치 않게 감독과 배우, 연출과 배우 사이를 칭하는 말로 ‘페르소나’라는 용어를 사용한다. 우리 일상생활에도 페르소나가 있다. 지방에서 자란 여성 기상캐스터가 있다고 가정해 보자. 날씨정보를 전달할 때 여성 기상캐스터로서의 모습과 연애중인 여자로서의 모습은 많이 다를 수 있다.
예를 들어, 날씨예보를 할 때는
“장마가 소강상태를 보이면서 빗줄기가 약해지고 있습니다. 하지만 장마가 아직 끝난 것은 아니고 이번 주 수요일까지 비는 이어지겠습니다. 이상 기상 소식이었습니다.”
정갈한 옷차림에 또박또박 표준말을 사용하며 날씨를 전달할 것이다.
그러나 애인과 전화통화를 할 때는
그: 낼 쉬는데 머하노?
그녀: 안주 계획엄따.
그: 그라믄 낼 갱주갈래?
그녀: 오빠야 갱주는 마이 댕개왔다 아이가
그: 그라믄 딴데가까? 어데갈껀지 말해바라.
그녀: 기냥 시내가가 밥이나 묵고 영하나 보자.
어쩌면 흐트러진 머리에 트레이닝 복을 입고 소파에 누워 아주 편안한 자세로 통화를 하는 모습까지 상상할 수 있을 것이다. 그러고 보니 아주 다른 사람처럼 느껴지기도 한다. 이렇듯 때와 장소, 상대 등에 따라 다른 행동과 태도를 보이는 것은 당연한 것이다. 마치 상황에 맞춰 연기를 하는 배우처럼 우리에겐 여러 모습의 페르소나가 함께 존재하고 있다.
우리 모두는 자신과 자신이 수행하는 배역으로 살고 있으며, 우리 모두는 다양한 상황에서 그(그녀)자신(-self)과 사회적 페르소나를 연기하는 그(그녀)를 함께 만난다. 이 역시 이중성이다. 이것을 어떤 학자는 삶의 이중성으로 설명한다.
‘페르소나’는 그리스 어원의 ‘가면’을 나타내는 말로 ‘외적 인격’ 또는 ‘가면을 쓴 인격’을 뜻한다. 심리학자이자 정신과 의사인 칼 구스타프 융(Carl Gustav Jung)은 “개인이 사회와 접할 때 쓰게 되는 역할 또는 가면”을 페르소나로 표현하였는데 사람들은 이를 통해 일상생활에서 자신을 드러낸다는 것이다. 즉, 일종의 가면을 쓰고 사회 속에서 역할을 수행한다는 얘기다. ‘사회적 가면’이라는 말로도 이미 많은 사람들에게 잘 알려진 이론이다. 우리는 누구나 사회적 가면을 쓰고 살아간다. 인간이 사회를 떠나서 살 수 없는 만큼 이 가면에서 벗어날 수도 없다. 가면이라고 하면 가식적이고 거짓의 의미가 부각되어 불편할 수도 있겠지만 배우가 자신이 맡은 역할을 연기하기 위해서 부단한 노력을 기울이듯이 사회적 가면 역시 노력이 필요한 부분이므로 부정적으로만 생각할 것은 아니다. 마치 다양한 배역을 연기하는 1인 다역의 배우처럼 우리는 태어나면서부터 다양한 역할을 수행하면서 살아가고 있다. 어떤 상황에서는 ‘착한 학생’이어야 하고, 어떤 상황에서는 ‘일 잘하는 아르바이트 직장인’이어야 하고, 또 어떤 상황에서는 ‘아직은 어리광을 부리는 귀한 아들(딸)’이어야 한다. 어디 그뿐일까? 하루에도 참으로 많은 역할을 수행해야 하는 그야말로 매일 1인 다역의 연기자로 살고 있는 것이다. 그러니까 우리 모두는 자신과 자신이 수행하는 배역으로 살고 있으며, 우리 모두는 다양한 상황에서 그(그녀)자신(-self)과 사회적 페르소나를 연기하는 그(그녀)를 함께 만난다. 이 역시 이중성이다. 이것을 어떤 학자는 ‘삶의 이중성’으로 설명한다. 삶의 이중성, 연극의 이중성, 연기의 이중성은 실제 ‘존재하는 나’와 ‘남에게 보이는 나’가 공존한다는 점에서 같은 속성을 갖는다. 배우가 자신이 맡은 역할에 맞게 그럴듯하게 연기하지 못하면 문제가 되듯, 판사나 의사가 그 역할에 맞게 행동하지 않으면 문제가 된다. 또 배우가 작품에 따라 다양한 역할을 연기하지 못하고 한 작품의 특정 역할만을 연기할 수 있다면 문제가 되듯, 우리의 일상에서도 상황에 따라 적절한 역할을 수행하지 못하면 문제가 된다. 타인과의 관계는 하나의 페르소나만으로 일관하여 형성할 수는 없는 일이다. 집안에서 소중한 ‘딸’이 학교나 직장에서도 ‘딸’일 수는 없는 일이니, 다양한 역할을 수행해야 하는 우리들은 1인 다역을 연기하는 배우와 같다.
세상은 극장이고 인생은 긴 연극이며, 우리 모두는 그 연극 속의 ‘나’라는 배역을 맡은 배우인 셈이다. 배우가 무대 위에서 최선을 다해 연기하듯 ‘인생’이라는 연극의 막이 내릴 때까지 최선을 다해 ‘나’를 연기해 볼 일이다.
20세기 후반의 가장 영향력이 있는 사회학자로 평가 받는 어빙 고프먼(Erving Goffman)은 우리의 삶은 세상이라는 무대에서 다른 사람들과 상호작용하면서 자아를 연출하는 공연과 같다는 관점을 제시한 바 있다. ‘연극’과 ‘성공적인 사회생활’의 깊은 연관성을 생각하게 하는 관점이라 하겠다. 이 글의 목적이 연극교육의 중요성을 피력하고자 하는 것은 아니니 이러한 얘기는 다른 기회에 다시 이야기하기로 하고, 아무튼 고프먼의 관점은 그 옛날 셰익스피어가 세상을 바라 본 관점과 상통(上通)한다.
이제 셰익스피어의 희극 <뜻대로 하세요(As You Like It)>의 한 장면으로 이야기를 마무리 해 보자. 이 연극은 아덴 숲을 배경으로 남녀의 사랑이야기, 인생에 대한 풍자를 담고 있다. 모닥불 앞에서 우울증 환자 ‘제이퀴즈(Jaques)’가 허심탄회하게 던지는 대사를 들어 볼까?
“세상 전체가 하나의 무대이고 모든 남녀는 배우일 뿐이지요. 다들 등장과 퇴장이 있고 한 사람이 평생 여러 역할을 하는데…
(All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; And one man in his time plays many parts)…”.
세상이 무대고, 인생은 한편의 연극과 같다는 말은 바꿔 말하면, 세상은 극장이고 인생은 긴 연극이며, 우리 모두는 그 연극 속의 ‘나’라는 배역을 맡은 배우인 셈이다. 배우가 무대 위에서 최선을 다해 연기하듯 우리는 ‘인생’이라는 연극의 막이 내릴 때까지 최선을 다해 각자의 ‘나’를 연기해 볼 일이다. | <urn:uuid:6ab8e977-44cf-4bc2-9590-00f0bf345d4d> | {

W każdej firmie działającej w branży przemysłowej powinna być przynajmniej jedna osoba, która będzie odpowiedzialna za sprawdzanie stanu maszyn i urządzeń oraz uzupełnianie potencjalnych braków. Najbardziej istotne jest, ażeby wiedzieć, czego w firmie brakuje. Im większe jest dokładnie określone przedsiębiorstwo, tym często nie najprościej nadążyć za wiedzą dotyczącą ewentualnych zniszczonych maszyn i urządzeń oraz tych, których nie ma, a które są potrzebne.
W toku eksploatacji część maszyn stoi i wymaga naprawy, jednak inne są już w pełni zużyte i powinno się je zastąpić nowymi. Zdarza się też, że maszyny są nieaktualne, zatem powinno się się ich pozbyć, a na ich miejsce muszą się w firmie pojawić nowe rozwiązania. Kiedy firma świadczy np cięcie wodą, to zrozumiałe jest, że liczba realizacji będzie dosyć duża, a zatem sprzęt będzie też ulegał zniszczeniu. W szczególności istotne powinno być wówczas więc to, aby na bieżąco go naprawiać, a to wymaga dostępu do części zamiennych. Zaopatrzenie w takiej takie części zamienne powinno należeć do specjalnego pracownika, który para się sprawdzaniem stanów maszyn i urządzeń. Elektrodrążarka drutowa jest przykładem takiej maszyny wymagającej wymiany części. Utworzenie specjalnego etatu dla osoby, która by się tym zajmowała, nie jest wcale fanaberią, a dosłownie inaczej, jest myśleniem perspektywicznym i działaniem bardzo potrzebnym. Frezarka CNC również działa w firmach o różnorakich profilach i także wymaga napraw. Nie ma jednego typu działalności, w której taki sprzęt byłby popularny i wykorzystywany. Jeżeli już urządzenia są nietypowe albo starsze, to uzyskanie do nich części może być nieco utrudnione, a w pewnych sytuacjach może się wręcz zdarzyć, że przez jakiś czas będzie dosłownie niemożliwe. Każdej firmie powinno zależeć na tym, ażeby utrzymywać ciągłość produkcji. Nie jest to skomplikowane, kiedy wiemy, co mamy w firmie i czego nam brakuje. Frezarka do metalu a także inne urządzenia muszą być cały czas gotowe do pracy. Jeśli sprzęt się psuje, firma nie tylko nie zarabia, ale wręcz traci. Taka sytuacja jest niedopuszczalna, szczególnie w momencie, kiedy dopływ nowych zleceń i pieniędzy jest dla firmy sprawą priorytetową. | <urn:uuid:e907758f-6451-4dfc-b273-076f279f134e> | {

While filling out your social calendar, you may have noticed a few gaps in your closet for a couple of those special occasions. (But we always love a good excuse to add some easy wardrobe refreshers!) Finding the perfect dress has never been easier, too, thanks to Amazon's curated Fall Dresses hub.
Moreover, we were able to dig around and find 13 gorgeous options that are all under $50. Whether you're searching for a cozy lounge to take you from a coffee date to lounging at home or something a little dressier for a Friendsgiving dinner, these dresses are as pretty as they are versatile.
Let's start with the most casual of them all: The Drop's Iona sweatshirt dress. The cotton, modal, and elastane blend gives it an ultra-soft and smooth finish that you can wear on its own or over your favorite pair of leggings while out running errands. "The simplicity of the design also allows for easy styling, making it a go-to piece for creating effortless yet chic looks," one five-star reviewer gushed.
The playful diamond ribbed pattern on this crewneck dress is just one of the many details that make it unique. The fitted silhouette gives it a sultry vibe, while the midi length and long sleeves help it feel more conservative. "This dress is so comfortable and looks expensive," a customer raved. "The material is high quality and heavy, definitely similar to a thicker knit sweater."
As far as mini styles go, the ruffled hem on this skirt adds the perfect touch of femininity, balancing out the relaxed fit. Think of it as the sophisticated older cousin of your typical T-shirt dress that's still casual without looking sloppy. A shopper said it was "such a cute dress for the fall" and added that it was "very cute" when layered over leggings or tights. It's available in 15 hues, from neutral gray to vibrant blue.
When we think of the ultimate sweater dress, this cable knit style by Anrabess always comes to mind. It's the quintessential texture for fall and winter, and it's sure to keep you warm, especially if you pair it with fleece-lined leggings and over-the-knee leather boots. You'll also find it in plenty of fall-friendly colors like burnt orange, plum, and deep green. One reviewer mentioned that they "bought this sweater for holiday family photos last year" and said they "wore it several times after to work and around town."
We're not done yet. Keep scrolling to see some more fall essential styles under $50. | <urn:uuid:f4f527cf-28ce-4e2c-b920-1321f93a76a6> | {

A prisoner was in the US was recently released after 44 years of incarceration for the attempted murder of a police officer. Emerging onto the streets of New York City, Otis Johnson, now 69, found himself bewildered by the world before him. Seeing people apparently talking to themselves on the street, futuristic headphones dangling from their ears, reminded him of CIA agents. People barely paid attention to their surroundings, and instead studied their smartphones while crossing the street, engrossed in their own personal bubbles.
Technology had delivered Johnson a massive culture shock, the shock of a world where technology has quickly changed the way we live and the way we relate to one another.
In 2013 Sherry Turkle, a clinical psychologist and esteemed professor at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology, wrote Alone Together, in which she questioned the extent to which social media is bringing people together. Following decades of research on the profound impact of modern technology on human relationships, Turkle concluded that with the omnipresence of technology “we’re moving from conversation to connection”.
Connection, it seems, denotes a very different quality of social interaction in comparison to conversation, as it refers to continuous streams of little titbits of information, such as those neatly packaged into 140 characters on Twitter.
Conversation, on the other hand, refers to listening and empathic understanding, actively attending to another person, rather than fleetingly commenting on their status updates online while simultaneously talking on the phone, doing the laundry, or preparing the children’s dinner.
Something similar has happened in the world of online dating, which has moved away from traditional, detailed dating profiles that allowed compatibility matching based on detailed psychological assessment questionnaires. Instead new superficial dating apps such as Tinder provide matches based not on any suggested compatibility but on the user’s reaction to a profile picture. You don’t like the look of this Tinderalla’s haircut? Swipe her away. Don’t fancy that guy’s moustache? A swipe and he’s gone.
This couldn’t be further from meaningful conversations and real intimate relationships. The emergence of this new hook-up culture poses new challenges in how we relate to one another, and the criteria we use for mate selection. Research in this area is virtually non-existent, and it remains to be seen what sort of effects this has on forming and sustaining relationships.
The internet increases our levels of connection, but may decrease our ability to have actual, deep and meaningful conversations with each other. This phenomenon was called the internet paradox by Robert Kraut and colleagues in their 1998 paper, referring to how the increased connectivity made possible by technology may counterintuitively reduce social involvement and increase loneliness. Are we in fact alone together when using social media?
My own research examines the possible negative consequences of internet use. I have explored how psychotherapists from around the world treat individuals who arrive at their practice with the problem of internet addiction. One of the 20 therapists I interviewed told me:
[My clients] actually believe people want more from them than they actually do. They certainly fear the sort of relentlessness of ongoing messaging … But concurrent with that is an absolute terror of exclusion.”
This interviewee alluded to what is now known as the fear of missing out (or FOMO in text lingo): the “pervasive apprehension that others might be having rewarding experiences from which one is absent”. FOMO is the pressure to be ubiquitously connected and present in social media environments, switched on 24-hours a day, seven days a week.
FOMO may lead to the compulsive use of social media, which in turn may develop into an addiction. Research on social media addiction is relatively scarce in comparison to that covering gaming addiction, but in a 2011 paper I outlined the usage patterns, motivations, user personalities, and negative consequences of use and potential addiction.
In my research I’ve shown that social networks are primarily used for social engagement, particularly to maintain real-life relationships. Different people also use social networks in different ways. For instance, extroverts use them for social enhancement, whereas introverts use them for social compensation, suggesting social network use can have distinct relationship benefits for users.
On the downside, I found that using social networks may lead to less participation in real life relationships, as well as lower academic achievement, and relationship problems. All of these may be indicators of pathological use. This may suggest that moderate use of social media may indeed be advantageous; however, excessive use may lead to problems associated with addiction.
So where does this leave us? How about we put on our researcher hats and try a little self-experiment over the holidays.
Let’s try and leave our smartphones, tablets, laptops and smartwatches in the drawer, if only just to spend a few festive hours attending to our family and loved ones. How about we try and resist the urge to live-tweet Uncle Dave’s witty remarks and keep our followers up-to-date with pictures of our dogs in their Christmas outfits. Who knows, we might end up having a conversation without technology coming between us. | <urn:uuid:794ec498-42ca-41e3-9f62-3145d3a01653> | {

Stores, Restaurants, and Bars
Davidson’s move to America prompted a fresh start in his designs. The early nineteenth century “Biedermeier” style of his Berlin projects was left behind, the neoclassical decoration exchanged for the cleaner, more modern look of Art Deco, especially present in the graphics of store signs. His first two storefront commissions, one for West 7th street, (1926-27), the other one for Archie Bilicke, on Wilshire Boulevard (1929), show the shift from an ornamented and more opaque façade, as seen in Davidson’s own office (1927), to a modern glass façade by the end of the 1920s. The shop window became transparent, focusing entirely on the display, which was illuminated at night by indirect lightning. Reminiscent of stores designed by Adolf Loos in Vienna, the V-shaped entrance to the Satyr Book Store (1929) was recessed and lined with showcases, virtually drawing customers into the shop. Illuminated inside by neon tubes above the shelves, the lighting enhanced the spatial flow—a new idea which was also featured in Jock D. Peters’ design for Bullock’s Wilshire at around the same time.
None of these shops is preserved today but, fortunately, the designs survive in numerous existing plans and photographs, as well as in detailed descriptions of the interiors. Two unrealized projects for a Drive-In Curb Market (1931) and Drive-In Arts & Crafts Shopping Center (ca. 1940) show Davidson’s understanding of the rise of the automobile and a willingness to place the car at the center of the design.
During The Great Depression, Davidson left Los Angeles for Chicago, where he worked between 1933 and 1936 on various hotel renovations. The repeal of Prohibition, in 1933, resulted in redesigns of hotel bars and restaurants. With his European heritage and knowledge of café and restaurant design in Paris and London, Davidson was a good choice and was tasked with rearranging hotel restaurants to include separate bar areas and cocktail lounges. Back in Los Angeles, he deployed these skills again in a redesign of Sardi's Restaurant (1937), after it had suffered a fire. The challenge in this project was to create two entrances within a very narrow façade. His creative solution was a horizontal blue glass facade divided by metal panels, repeated inside in a zig-zag screen which divided the bar and restaurant. | <urn:uuid:8aa3307f-defe-443f-a897-315229cb0128> | {

**Until further notice during COVID-19**
Therapeutic massage for relaxation and wellness.
I consider massage to be as vital to health and wellbeing as any other regular health checkup, only more comfortable and relaxing! Regular massage has a cumulative effect that will help you sleep better, decrease anxiety and depression, increase concentration, and improve circulation and the body's ability to decrease pain through the release of natural endorphins.
I practice a combination of Swedish massage and Deep Tissue work to help address muscle pain or tightness. Most people are familiar with these direct and uncomplicated methodologies and I believe it gives clients an idea of what to expect, which may make clients new to massage more comfortable with treatment.
I hope you will contact me to set up an appointment. Investing in massage is an investment in your health and wellbeing. | <urn:uuid:a09fad8d-a062-4bf0-aff1-b200195e865f> | {
