August 26, 2014Too often, federal taxpayers are left to subsidize corporate profits through the important programs we have in place to ensure that families can meet their basic needs. Increasing the federal minimum wage helps low wage workers, infuses much-needed money into the economy, AND reduces the extent to which low-income workers must lean on the federal budget just to meet their basic needs. Surely it’s time to #RaiseTheWage, to show that #WEMatter!
Families & The Federal Budget
August 20, 2014August is a prime time to tell your Congressperson your thoughts on the federal budget issues that matter to women, families, and children, including Iraq, immigration, corporate taxes, unemployment benefits, and more.

August 2, 2014This week, the Social Security Trustees released their annual report about Social Security’s finances. As usual, opponents jumped all over it, sounding the alarm bells and calling for drastic cuts. But they got it all wrong: rather than cutting Social Security we need to expand it in ways that would benefit everyone, and particularly women, who rely on the program so much.
August 2, 2014The Ryan poverty plan will create more poverty, not less.
July 23, 2014Improvement. It’s a subjective word, I guess. Otherwise how does H.B. 4935 get to call itself the Child Tax Credit Improvement Act of 2014?

July 21, 2014The White House Summit on working families was last month, but we’re still riding the high of the momentum and energy cultivated at such a groundbreaking event.

915 Queen Street West
Food: 8/10 (Needs more selection)
Clafouti is the first stop on my Toronto patisserie tour! I plan on going to as many patisseries (French bakeries) as I can because french pastries are just the best! (Italian are a close second)
The shop sits across from a spacious park so it’s great to sit outside when the weather is warm. Other than that, there really isn’t much room inside and could get crowded fast.
The Cappuccino comes in a huge cup and has a strong, smooth taste. Because of the size, it’ll either last you a long time or would be great for sharing.
I had their Fruit Tarte because of all the beautiful fruits and dollop of custard (I love custard!). The fruits are so fresh and the pastry is soft and so well kept together. Even through it was kept behind a refrigerated display, it was fresh and wasn’t stale at all!
I had no idea what a Pithivier was until I stole most of my boyfriend’s. It’s a flaky pastry with a layer of custard and icing sugar sprinkled on top. It’s nothing too fancy but sometimes, it’s these that taste the best!
It’s a small shop but worth a stop! I know Nadege is down the street but you have to support the little guys too!

Over the past few months, I have become a HUGE fan of Matcha (obsessed is probably a better word). I drink it every morning. In fact, it’s the first thing that I look forward to in the morning (after a smooch from the HOTY, of course). I wrote about it here a couple of months ago and thought that I would repost it because I’m forever telling people about it.
As you may recall, I’ve never been a coffee drinker. Not to even remotely suggest that I am a puritan. Hardly. I’m the girl who drank her weight in Diet Mountain Dew. I wish I were kidding.
Back to Matcha. WTF is it, you ask? It is finely milled powdered green tea, arguably the highest quality, most cultivated green tea variety. Matcha is the revered tea of the centuries-old Japanese tea ceremony.
What is especially unique about Matcha is that when you drink it, you’re drinking the green tea leaf itself, whole, in powdered form mixed with hot (but not boiling!) water.
The powder itself is so rich in chlorophyl (because it’s grown in the shade) that it’s literally bright green, and when mixed with water it becomes a rich, bitter-sweet, Kermit-colored concoction whose effects you can actually FEEL almost immediately after drinking a cup (Silver Lining).
There are innumerable health benefits of drinking Matcha. For example, one cup of Matcha is the equivalent of 10 glasses of green tea in terms of its nutritional value and antioxidant content.
Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is the compound found uniquely in green teas which has been shown to possess almost unbelievable anti-cancer, anti-aging and overall health benefits.
Here’s where Matcha is really unprecedented: Matcha contains exponentially higher amounts (as in over 100 times) of EGCG than regular brewed green tea. Matcha also has over 33 times the antioxidant levels of antioxidant powerhouse blueberries(!)…hard to believe, but true!
Additionally, Matcha supports healing, prevention and recovery from cancer (Silver Lining). It is also helpful for digestion and boosting metabolism.
An added benefit is that the L-Theanine in Matcha has been known to provide hours of lasting energy and clarity. L-theanine is the secret of the zen monk’s focus called “calm alertness.” Since I’ve started drinking Matcha, I wouldn’t say that I’m exactly a zen monk, but I can absolutely, positively feel more alert and less foggy (a HUGE SL!).
There are many non-Japanese (as well as Japanese) products out there called ‘Matcha’ that are often nothing more than powdered low-quality green tea, or worse, a mixture of ingredients with artificial green coloring(!).
My nutritionist extraordinaire, Rachel Beller, RD, MS turned me onto Matcha. She recommended that I drink Matcha Supreme from AOI Tea. Rachel also suggested squirting some lemon into the Matcha to exponentially increase the antioxidant effect (Silver Lining).
Tea beckons us to enjoy quality time with friends and loved ones, and especially to rediscover the art of relaxed conversation.

Things To Do In Budapest
Architecturally rich, culturally unique, and home to two world-class thermal baths, few cities are more deserving of the title ‘Paris of the East’ than Budapest. From Magyar tribes to the Red Army, civilisations have clashed on the site of its founding for over a thousand years, forging what has slowly but surely become one of Europe's most distinctive national identities.
These qualities rank the Hungarian capital among the world’s most intriguing city break destinations - a place where rich history melds seamlessly with modern nightlife and contemporary chic. To make the most of your own trip to Budapest, consider giving the following activities a try:
1) Thermal Baths:
If ever a city had a clearly defined raison d'etre, Budapest's would be rooted in its natural thermal springs - one of only two capital cities in the world to have them (Reykjavík being the other). As such, a relaxing soak in one of Budapest's thermal baths is a must.
Széchenyi, Gellért and Lukacs are the two main ones, but for sheer atmosphere and tranquillity we also strongly recommend the Mandala Day Spa. Located on Ipoly Street, this award-winning day spa is as classy as it is suave. Spa treatments on offer include the Rainfall Jacuzzi, which comes complete with fresh towels, slippers, bathrobes and a spa. It also has tons of special hen packages, massages, and beauty treatments to choose from.
You can also enjoy a steaming cup of their famed herbal tea in the in-house oriental tea house, alongside complementary chocolates, cookies and fruit. It's the perfect pampering session for you and your group.
If you've ever wondered what a thermal bath crossed with a nightclub would look like then stick a Sparty on your Budapest to-do list. These audio-visual pool parties are held each Saturday night at Budapest’s famous bathhouses.
For instance, summer parties, or ‘Szecska’, take place at the Szechenyi Baths, while winter and spring parties, also called the ‘Magic Bath’ series, take place in the Lukacs Baths. Whichever sparty you select, you must purchase an advance ticket to attend.
3) Budapest Zoo & Botanical Gardens:
If you’re travelling with kids or just love the natural world, then Budapest Zoo and Botanical Garden is a must-visit. It is a family-friendly entertainment spot housing several iconic features like the Elephant House, the Palm House, and the one-hundred-year-old legacy merry-go-round.
The zoo began operating way back in 1866, making it one of the oldest zoos in the world. It’s home to over 700 animal species, and its unique design is the work of renowned Art Nouveau architect Karoly Kos.
4) Danube Islands:
The three islands on the Danube are considered the diamonds of the city. The one closest to the centre, Margaret Island, is particularly notable as a place of leisure and relaxation. It’s packed with all manner of attractions, from a miniature extension of Budapest Zoo to the iconic Music Fountain and the Water Tower. Be sure not to miss its open-air theatres and music festivals as well.
Hajogyari Island, on the other hand, is known for its vibrant nightlife and has become a prominent party-going hub. Hajogyari also offers quality sporting activities, with cycle routes and tennis courts.
5) Eating Locally:
Hungary’s national dish is Goulash, a spicy meat soup served with delectable onions. Then there’s Greek Gyros. Plenty of these local pita shops dot the city, most of which have whole rotisserie pigs right behind the counters. Make sure you try this local favourite, which is especially grand after a couple of drinks.
Alternatively, consider visiting 21 Magyar Vendeglo, a friendly bistro that serves high Hungarian cuisine and wines. Another option is Costes, a gourmet restaurant in Budapest. It sources its quality ingredients from all around Europe and has a 2 Michelin-starred chef at its helm.
6) Explore Buda Hill:
The mountainous landscape of Buda, located on the west bank of the Danube, is a must-visit. Buda Castle (once known as the Royal Palace) sits atop steep hills overlooking Pest. Its modern name actually refers to the wider complex more than the Baroque palace itself, but the latter is home to three key attractions: The Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest History Museum and the National Széchényi Library.
7) Fisherman's Bastion:
If you cherish beautiful cityscapes, Fishermen’s Bastion will enthral you. This remarkable lookout is located at the summit of Castle Hill. Although the Bastion is purely decorative, its name derives from the fishermen who dedicated their lives to defending the city during the middle ages. This lovely site also has seven distinctive tent-like towers, each representing the seven Hungarian tribes who settled in the Carpathian Basin.
There’s two levels to Fishermen’s Bastion lookout, an upper and a lower. Magnificent panoramic views are still available on the lower level, but the finest vistas are to witnessed on the level above. While the lower level is free, there’s a small entry fee to progress to the next step.
8) Dohány Street Synagogue:
Located on Dohány Street is the Great Synagogue. As the name suggests, it is the largest synagogue in Europe, and second largest in the world. It can accommodate about 3000 worshippers and was once used by the Germans as a radio communication centre during World War 2.
Nowadays, it is the centre of Budapest’s Jewish community and houses the Jewish Museum, the Heroes’ Temple, the Jewish Cemetery, and the Raoul Wallenberg Memorial Park. The memorial park has four red marble plates that celebrate Raoul Wallenberg as well as various non-Jewish Hungarians who saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust.
No history lover’s trip to Budapest would be complete without taking one of the site’s enlightening self-guided tours. Alternatively, check out one of our two Jewish Heritage Walking Tours, which include entry to the Dohány Street Synagogue plus much more.
9) Shoes On The Danube:
Another famous landmark worth visiting is the Shoes of the Danube, situated in Pest. This poignant memorial consists of sixty pairs of bronze shoes arranged in a row along edge the river. These shoes tell the story of the Budapest Jews who were paraded and shot into the Danube. Since shoes were in short supply at the time, victims had to remove their footware before Arrow Cross militiamen executed them. The Shoes of the Danube is a harrowing yet picturesque place to learn about Budapest’s Jewish heritage.
10) Ruin Bars:
Busy, vibrant and cosmopolitan, Pest endows the capital with that modern ‘city feel’. A wide assortment of gourmet restaurants, cafes, clubs, and bars will provide ideal chill spots for your group. While here you should definitely consider popping into one of the iconic ‘ruin bars’ located in Budapest's old Jewish Quarter.
If you've looked into Budapest's ruin bars at any length you'll no doubt have encountered the name 'Szimpla'. As far as ruin bars go Szimpla Kert has it all. Its crazy décor has a grunge-boho-punk vibe that you will absolutely adore. The food is also delectably simple and fairly priced. What’s more, Szimpla has a great selection of drinks to choose from, whether to wash down your brunch or dinner, or kick off a night on the town. Fancy hitting the dance floor? You’re likely to hear plenty of recognisable tunes.
11) Clubs & Party Cruises:
As the sun disappears over the horizon consider taking a guided bar crawl or go guest-list clubbing at one of the city’s popular nightclubs. Check out: Corven Club, A38 Ship, Akvárium Klub, Lärm or Toldi Klub if you’re looking for a memorable night on the dance floor. There’s also the option of partying in style by sailing down the Danube on a popular Party Cruise.
12) Stroll Along Andrassy Avenue:
Andrassy Avenue is itself a World Heritage Site. Constructed during the 1870s, its original purpose was to connect City Park with the city centre. Since then the boulevard has captured the attention of luxury brand names such as Burberry, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and Ermenegildo Zegna, most of whom have shops along its edges. Similarly, there are traditional cafes and plenty of chain restaurants such as Burger King here.
Andrassy Avenue is an ideal place to experience the buzz of daily life, try out different delicacies, and do a bit of people-watching. Towards its south-western end you’ll also find our next attraction recommendation.
13) Budapest Opera House:
Besides being one of the finest-looking Neo-Renaissance buildings in Europe, Budapest Opera House ranks among the best of its kind in terms of acoustics. Its auditorium has a 1200 sitting capacity and features a traditional horseshoe shape.
Towering in front of the Opera House building are the statues of two great composers, Ferenc Erkel and Ferenc Liszt. Erkel was the first music director of the opera and is noted for having composed Hungary’s national anthem.
By day, the Opera ushers in tourists eager to ogle and learn about its gorgeous architecture. Come evening, however, guests are treated to world-class musical performances.
14) Pál-Völgyi and Szemlő-Hegyi Caves:
Up for a bit of spelunking? Beneath Budapest are numerous pristine caves carved out over millions of years by subterranean thermal waters. Two notable networks are the Pál-völgyi and Szemlő-hegyi caverns. Thanks to their spectacular rock formations, these natural caves are the most breathtaking in the Buda Hills mountain range.
The Pál-völgyi cave is about seven kilometres long so be prepared for a bit of hiking and ducking through narrow passages. The Szemlo however, is filled with magnificent crystal formations and has clean air. Furthermore, it is relatively smooth making it ideal for younger explorers. Guided tours of both caves take about 45 minutes.
For those who love exotic birds and aquatic life, Budapest’s Tropicarium is the perfect treat. It is one of the largest saltwater aquariums in Europe. Here, you will get up close and personal with different animals such as exotic birds, tropical fish, Hungarian fish species and alligators. You might even catch sight of a few squirrel monkeys as you walk through the rainforest. Conversely, experience a rush of adrenaline as you view the feeding of the sharks through a glass observation tunnel.
The Tropicarium is ideal for birthday parties and team building activities, although experienced sea divers can engage in the swim-with-the-shark escapades.
16) Ride The Millennium Underground:
It wouldn’t be appropriate to tour Budapest and fail to visit one of the city’s World Heritage Sites - the Millennium Underground. Despite being the first subway line in mainland Europe it is still operational and runs along the Andrassy Avenue, once a masterpiece of city planning. You can visit the Millennium Underground to learn about its rich history, or to catch a ride from Vorosmarty Square to Budapest Zoo.
17) Big Bus Budapest:
Budapest has a number of public transport options including a modern underground metro system. Metro tickets are cheap and should be purchased before boarding, otherwise you may be fined for trying to travel without one. Taxis are slightly more expensive, though still generally affordable.
Other sightseeing options include a range of Danube city cruises, Segway tours, walking tours, and the Big Bus Budapest Tour. All of these services provide a unique way to get around while learning more about the city. In most cases, staff can also advise on the best bars to hit, places to eat and additional activities to try.
18) Budapest Card:
Whether you’re planning a first-time visit to Budapest or are rediscovering an old favourite, it’s always handy to have a Budapest Card by your side. Devised by the city’s tourism board for the benefit of international visitors, it provides discounted rates and free admission into some of Budapest’s top attractions. As well as acting as a comprehensive entry ticket, the Budapest Card also functions as a travel pass.
For instance, you can enjoy unlimited free rides on the capital’s public transport system, discounted access to popular sightseeing tours, and even free walking guided tours. You, therefore, end up making significant savings during your visit.
How Does It Work?
There are two ways to get hold of a Budapest Card: purchasing it once you arrive, or reserving it online. If you decide to buy once you’re in the city then the easiest place to pick one up is at Liszt Ferenc International Airport (terminals 2A & 2B), or you can get them from any of the BKK Kiosks dotted around the city.
If you reserve your card online you can either request hotel delivery or collect it yourself at the Hungária Koncert ticket office in Danube Palace (Budapest, Zrínyi u. 5, H-1051). Hotel delivery is a service offered by Hungaria Koncert Ltd, a friendly and professional tourism partner of CityXplora Ltd.
Whichever way you get your Budapest Card, you will need to validate it with a signature. As soon as you have done that, you are ready to go. Show the card to staff at any attraction you wish to visit and enjoy either free or discounted entry!

Assembly Elections 2022 |Data | The 2022 Gujarat Election was not a tight race unlike 2017 polls
December 08, 2022 10:34 pm | Updated December 09, 2022 12:18 am IST
Rajya Sabha passed the Wildlife (Protection) Amendment Bill, 2022 on Thursday. Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav assured that elephants will be protected and conserved according to the provisions of the Act.
The Bill, which had undergone scrutiny of a parliamentary panel, seeks to conserve and protect wildlife through better management of protected areas and rationalise schedules which list out species under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972. Lok Sabha had cleared the legislation in August during the Monsoon Session.
The Bill seeks better management of protected areas and provides for certain permitted activities like grazing or movement of livestock and bona fide use of drinking and household water by local communities.
Meanwhile, Sushmita Dev of Trinamool Congress said the amendment has given huge discretion for the transportation of live elephants and expressed concern on protecting the animal. She said the amendment contravenes Section 27 of the Act.
Congress member Jairam Ramesh opposed the Bill in its current form. He said the Minister has accepted recommendations of the Standing Committee but deviated from an important suggestion. “The elephant is a national heritage animal for India. The Standing Committee accepted the religious significance of the elephant, but the Minister has also included the words ‘any other purpose’. What are these words supposed to stand for?” Mr. Ramesh asked.

Hello everyone, please take a seat. Today we will be continuing our lecture series on the Keepers. Where we last left off, Virgil and Jacques took care of some final business before departing for Amanita Town with Pandora. Because a backpack to put your Slowpoke in is very important. The team hit the road in the Iron Chariot and stopped after a while for a little training session. While Pandora searched the area, the boys decided to do a little wild Pokémon catching, with… varying degrees of success.
Now that their crying is nearly at an end, it’s time for some real on-the-job training, getting a lay of the land and encountering something a little more dangerous than small birds. What test has Pandora come up with for our young initiates? Will Virgil and Jacques find themselves in over their heads? And will this test actually help the boys understand more about the world around them? Let’s find out in our latest installment… Ecosystem!

Vidya Balan's new song 'Pass Nahi Toh Fail Nahi' will loosen up the fear of maths
The two-minute and 27-second long video begins with a lively interaction between Balan and a bunch of young kids. She explains that maths is nothing but a subject "full of magic"
'Pass Nahi Toh Fail Nahi' -- the newly released song from the upcoming biographical drama 'Shakuntala Devi,' starring actor Vidya Balan will show you the fun side of learning mathematics. The chirpy fun song, which released on Tuesday, is crooned by singer Sunidhi Chauhan, and the music is done by the musical duo, Sachin-Jigar.
The official music video, which is shot in a classroom, sees Balan in the character of the real-life genius Shakuntala Devi. She is known as 'human-computer' and 'mental calculator' for her ability to make incredibly swift calculations on her fingertips. The two-minute and 27-second long video begins with a lively interaction between Balan and a bunch of young kids. She explains that maths is nothing but a subject "full of magic" and there is nothing to be afraid of.
"Are you all ready to be friends with my best friend, maths?" the 41-year-old actor asks the kids and joins them to groove to the tunes of 'Pass Nahi Toh Fail Nahi'. The 'Tumhari Sulu' actor took to Instagram to share the link to the official music video, and wrote, "Kya mere best friend Maths se dosti karne ke liye taiyyar ho?! #PassNahiTohFailNahi song out NOW! Meet #ShakuntalaDeviOnPrime 31 July, on @PrimeVideoIn"
The song is an attempt to loosen up the fear children have for the subject maths. Helmed by Anu Menon, the movie will also see other stars like Sanya Malhotra and Jisshu Sengupta in supporting roles. Shakuntala Devi will be released on July 31 on Amazon Prime.

Warner Bros. Pictures is reportedly trying to get director James Wan back for the inevitable sequel to “Aquaman” following the film’s billion-dollar success at the global box-office over the past month or so.
The film, which is poised to supplant “The Dark Knight Rises” as the top-grossing film in the DC Universe, is closing in on $1.07 billion as of last weekend and understandably the studio is keen for more.
Deadline reports that Wan will oversee the development of a second film, including the selection of writers, but will only make a decision on whether to direct it when he sees the script. Wan spent years working on the first one which shot over six months in Australia, Morocco, Italy and Canada.
“Aquaman” is presently in cinemas.

When Jesus was born, there was a convergence of events, technologies, and social and political realities that made it to be a times-fullness. Pax Romana was the law of the land in the 1st century so that Jesus and his followers could travel throughout the empire with relative ease. The mail delivery system was intricate and dependable. Alexander the Great made Greek known throughout the contemporary world. There were more people of the Jewish faith living outside of Israel (Palestine) than in it. The empire was polytheistic and tolerated many diverse forms of worship. Rome made an incredible system of roads and seafaring throughout the Mediterranean was unparalleled as far as ease, frequency and reliability. During the earthly days of Jesus, taxation was squeezing farmers off their land who were then forced to seek employment in the cities. And, polytheism was being questioned in the hearts and minds of many citizens. They were seeking a different divine relationship – not just of goods, services, protection and wealth. They were seeking peace and health which fell on deaf ears no matter what idol they turned to. It was in this fullness of time that Jesus was born of Mary to redeem those who were born under the law of Moses and to receive everyone else through adoption of God’s grace to make them heirs to God’s Kingdom. (Gal 4:4-7)
Shortly afterwards, Rome fell and with it came the destruction of free travel, mail delivery, free trade, common language, metropolitan infrastructure, and polytheistic tolerance. It wasn’t until the 18th century that roads, sea lanes, mail and cities came near their pinnacle in the 1st century. It appears that God arrived right on time.
The second “fullness of time” is when Christ will gather all things to himself, when all things will respond to God’s call through Christ. That time has not yet been fulfilled. But, take heart, it is coming. Once again, we are in a time when people are leaving the farm and cramming into cities throughout the world. English has become the main communication form of international business. There are more Christians living outside of Israel (and Europe and America too). We are in a time of unprecedented electronic communication. And, perhaps most importantly, the wealth of the nations has created an impoverished soul. We have gained luxuries and can enjoy Dragon Fruit from Vietnam, lamb from Australia, wine from France, beer from Germany, chocolate from anywhere, yet we have never been more hungry. We have created the most powerful weapons ever conceived, we can see at night, listen underwater, and fly planes with satellites yet peace has never seemed so far away. Could it be that we are now living in the fullness of time when Christ gathers all things to himself. My God, I sure hope so. One thing I do know is that God will arrive on time.

Caring for the
The Health Fund believes a “whole person” approach to healthcare can improve health outcomes while reducing costs and saving time for providers and patients alike. From primary and behavioral health care to support services and healthy lifestyles that can prevent illness, we’re working toward a system of health centered on an individual’s range of needs rather than on silos of care.
For behavioral health, that means providing a service isn’t enough—we must ensure services are integrated with physical healthcare. That means there should be “No Wrong Door” for patients. Even if one provider can’t directly address a behavioral health challenge, they should be able to point patients toward the appropriate resources. And connecting people to services is just the first step. Truly integrated care includes patients and providers partnering to coordinate care, co-manage illnesses and challenges, and work holistically toward a healthier patient.
Integration also means thinking outside the traditional definitions of healthcare. We know that food can be medicine, schools can help young people establish healthy habits, and treating social isolation among older adults can prevent more harmful diseases. The Health Fund is helping to weave together the varied pathways to health, closing gaps and looking for opportunities to improve efficiency, ultimately helping Michigan residents achieve healthier outcomes.
Across our grantmaking, we support proposals to develop and expand innovative and cost-effective integration models that coordinate care, services, and community resources in ways that promote the health of children and older people.
In our grantmaking
Some of our grant opportunities require proposals to address one of our cross-cutting goals. Make sure to check specific RFPs for more details.

Right-wing canard alert!!
Yesterday’s domestic terrorism incident at the Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs generated a cornucopia of right-wing canards (do not cook and eat them, they are poisonous!).
Here’s one! From a congressman … who CNN decided they should have on LIVE TV while the terrorist was still active in Colorado Springs (“CNN: When we can’t be bothered reporting the news, we just make stuff up!!”):
[Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) had no problem] diagnosing the motives and influences of the shooter. “This is a person that has a mental health issue, that is to some level psychotic and crazy,” Kinzinger said. He also said the shooter could have had a “legitimate disagreement” with Planned Parenthood.
Aha! This kind of “legitimate” disagreement?
“We saw these barbaric videos, and that was something that many of us have a legitimate concern about,” Kinzinger said.
He demanded an apology from Planned Parenthood for even suggesting that the terrorist may have been inspired by the anti-woman jihadists in Congress:
“We don’t yet know the full circumstances and motives behind this criminal action, and we don’t yet know if Planned Parenthood was in fact the target of this attack. We share the concerns of many Americans that extremists are creating a poisonous environment that feeds domestic terrorism in this country.”
– Vicki Cowart, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains
And it is that poisonous environment, fueled by right-wing lies and enabled by Republicans in Congress that has given people like the terrorist in Colorado Springs permission to kill. Maybe there is a mental illness, Congressman, Planned Parenthood Derangement Syndrome – PPDS, with its roots in centuries of misogyny and women as property and reinforced by this terrorist organization:
Own this, Republican Congressmen. You and your party have blood on your hands.
Meanwhile, the sounds of silence from the GOP presidential candidates is deafening:
Approximately 10 hours after a gunman went on a shooting rampage at a Planned Parenthood clinic in Colorado Springs, Colorado, only two presidential candidates have issued statements expressing support for either the three victims or the women’s health organization.
Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton
Today and every day, we #StandWithPP.
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
We proudly #StandWithPP of Colorado Springs and the brave law enforcement personnel who fought to protect it.
p.s. You can Stand with Planned Parenthood also:
Click to Donate
Missing from the list of canards, however, was “just one good guy with a gun can stop a bad guy with a gun”. Maybe it was because there were probably 100 good guys with guns trying to stop this one guy. Or maybe because our right-wing media has people so poisoned that they believe that this was not such a bad guy?
There was a sense of outrage on Twitter yesterday over not just the terrorizing of women and health care providers but the stark contrast between the images we see daily of people of color being gunned down and then a white man who just killed a cop walking out of a building with his hands up and being taken quietly into custody (I wonder if they took him to Burger King on the way to the jail?) . The outrage was not that the killer had not been shot dead (no reasonable person wants that) but the fact that in America right now there are two types of justice: one for people who look like your hunting buddy and one for The Other.

It’s almost as though the GOP’s odious anti-Planned Parenthood rhetoric, done solely for political points, has real-world consequences
And this. Law enforcement does not respect that laws are broken when terrorists attack women’s clinics. And until they do, this will keep happening, there will be more loss of life and, eventually, women will be afraid to go to a clinic to get cancer screening or birth control pills or … yes … abortions.
ClinicEscort @ClinicEscort 16h16 hours ago
In short, lots of ppl who violently attack clinics started out as protesters, escalated to vandalism, & then leveled up to guns, bombs, etc.
Here is a Storify by Michelle Kinsey Bruns (@ClinicEscort) about violence at Planned Parenthood clinics:
“Vandalism” at Abortion Clinics Is So Much More Than That
When intruders attack a clinic to destroy outdoor security cameras & cut electrical lines, the word “vandalism” erases an important context of violence.

As if it weren’t difficult enough to get excited about the final preseason game, the Ravens announced they would only be playing a handful of starters tonight against the Atlanta Falcons in the Georgia Dome.
Despite discussion of the reconfigured offensive line playing a series or two in the first quarter, coach John Harbaugh has elected to play it safe and not risk any injuries, meaning the starting line will see its first live-game action together against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sept. 11. The only projected offensive starter playing in tonight’s game will be tight end Ed Dickson.
Defensively, the Ravens have elected to deactivate Ray Lewis, Ed Reed, Terrell Suggs, Haloti Ngata, Jarret Johnson, and Cory Redding against the Falcons. Terrence Cody, Jameel McClain, Domonique Foxworth, Cary Williams, and the combination of Tom Zbikowski and Bernard Pollard — it’s still undetermined who will start at strong safety next to Reed — will be the only starters taking the turf in Atlanta.
That said, a number of veteran backups and rookies will be fighting for their roster lives as the Ravens conclude the preseason and make final decisions on the 53 men who will be taking the field against Pittsburgh 10 days from now.
Disappointment aside, join us in the Purple Haze live chat beginning at 7:30 p.m. as we talk about our expectations for the regular season and get a head start on Pittsburgh week.

Children in overcrowded school braving sizzling heat.
ZHOB -- Hundreds of children mostly from rural areas have no option but to bear extremely hot weather and face lack of basic facilities at their mud-stone school due to the apathy of the concerned authorities. The forgotten and neglected historic school building now presents a gloomy picture.
The state-run Especial Primary School is one of the best public sector schools established in a historic building -known as 'Mandir School' running without clean drinking water, proper electricity, furniture for students and even mat for the children to sit on. It is an example of the neglect faced by public sector educational institutions, despite tall claims made by the provincial government.
'The classes are overcrowded and it is quite difficult for the teachers to stay inside, due to no free space, cross ventilation and alternate system in absence of electricity. The students have no furniture even mat is unavailable, forcing them to sit on the floor to attend the classes,' said the school head GhulamJillani Tajik.
'Around 90-100 students sitting in each classroom make it impossible for the teachers to deliver lessons and check their homework particularly during load-shedding that usually continued for several hours. The students have to sit either on floor or on worn-out mats in the classrooms,' adding the students are compelled to drink hot water from pitchers, as the school lacks clean and cool water facility.
The decades-old school building is in a dilapidated condition, it is situated in a low-laying area having no drainage system. The teachers and students face immense hardships when it rained, he added.
It is worth mentioning, that the historic temple 'Mandir' built in the 18th century was once a place for the Hindu worshipers, but now the two-story building is being used as a primary school, where hundreds of children wearing blue uniform get education. During the partition in 1947 the temple was abandoned and later on converted into a school.

The Lake Compounce amusement park in Bristol will hold a full live concert series of nationally touring acts for the first time in decades this summer.
The first concert will be country singer/songwriter Jerrod Niemann on May 27. The ‘90s grunge act Everclear, still fronted by Art Alexakis, performs June 10. Rapper and TV personality CeeLo Green floats on the lake stage on June 24, followed by country star Canaan Smith on July 15. The series ends with the “I Swear” R&B hitmakers All-4-One on July 22.
The shows will be held on a new floating lake stage. The stage, said to be the first of its kind in the state, will float near the beach area at Lake Compounce’s Crocodile Cove Water Park. With professional lighting and sound, the concerts will be able to be seen and heard from numerous areas around the park.
Floating stages are a new trend at parks and waterfront communities, adding new performance opportunities without the need to build new structures on land.
The national headliners are only part of the Lake Compounce concert schedule, which includes a live show every Saturday from late May to early September. Other acts announced this week include the Billy Joel tribute Stiletto on June 17, the Latin pop show Larger Than Life: Mi Gente on July 1, the tribute ABBA Mia on July 2, the Bon Jovi tribute Raise Your Hands on July 3, Southern Voice (doing country covers) on July 4, The Way Outs party band on July 8, the ‘90s-themed cover band Here’s to the Night July 29, the North Haven-based cover band Sunset Drive on Aug. 5, the versatile local cover band Shout on Aug. 12, Hartford’s rock cover act The Ebbas Aug. 19 and the precise ‘70s tribute act KSF (which specifically plays songs by Kansas, Styx & Foreigner) on Aug. 26.
The series ends on Labor Day weekend with the Beatles tribute Yesterday on Sept. 2 and The Brit Pack (specializing in ‘60s British Invasion hits) on Sept. 3. The May 27 and June 3 acts have yet to be announced. The full concert schedule will be available on the Lake Compounce website at lakecompounce.com.
All the July concerts will end with a fireworks display.
The concerts are free with admission to Lake Compounce. Season passes and other multi-day deals are available.
Lake Compounce was founded in 1846 and is considered the oldest continuously operated amusement park in the U.S., featuring dozens of rides and other attractions besides its water park. The park was once the site of a 20,000-seat outdoor amphitheater, which is where Milli Vanilli’s famous lip-synching scandal came to light when a recording of “Girl You Know It’s True” began to skip during a live performance on MTV on July 21, 1989.

Channing Tatum's small "G.I. Joe: Retaliation" role was planned
Jon M. Chu doesn't regret Channing Tatum's small role in 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'.
The director - who helms the upcoming action blockbuster starring Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and D.J. Cotrona - has revealed that the film's producers wanted to ''shock'' the audience by killing off the actor's on-screen alter-ego early in the movie.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz, he explained: ''The plan was from the very beginning, we wanted to shock the audience. We wanted the audience, for the sake of storytelling, to know that the Joes were all vulnerable. Nobody was safe and anybody could die at any moment. I'm sure there will be shockers in the future as well.''
Although Tatum is one of the lead actors in the original 2009 movie, 'G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra', he only briefly reprises his role as Captain Duke Hauser in the sequel and it was rumoured the film was delayed by a year in order to film more scenes with the star following his success in 'Magic Mike', 'The Vow' and '21 Jump Street'.
However, Chu denies that film studio Paramount delayed the action flick's scheduled 2012 release because of Tatum and insists the release was pushed back solely to convert the movie to 3D.
He said: ''We didn't reshoot anything. Zero. We didn't reshoot anything with Channing. After the delay, we literally turned it to 3D.
''We spent the last year literally working on every frame of the 3D, bringing the audience into the experience.''

I'm working on a modern folk set list for a recurring local bar gig. I need about 12 songs all together, so far I have A Team, Riptide, I Don't Know My Name, Wagon Wheel, Wonder Wall, and Hey There Delilah. Thats enough for the first gig, but I need some suggestions for other songs. If anyone has some suggestions I'd really appreciate it. The bar is pretty hipster, hence the choice of music. Thanks for the input!
Check out Tyler Childers. I play his Hard Times at open mic. I also play Everybody Knows by Ryan Adams, Blue Spotted Tai by Fleet Foxes, Cover Me Up by Jason Isbell, New Madrid by Jeff Tweedy. Not a lot of people know these songs but they usually go over pretty good. Incidentally, I see your from Fryeburg. Where is this bar and what night do you play? I don't live far from there. Oh, how about this one.
these are songs that my friend performs on ukulele and work pretty well and kind of folky; price tag- Jessie J landslide- Dixie chicks, zombie -the cranberries, soul sister- train, Float on- Modest Mouse, Apple Blossom the white stripes. Given the site, you might try Take Me to Church -Hozier
You should do a tribute song to the Cranberries since they recently lost their lead singer. That would probably be "Linger" or "Zombie." Chumbawumba's "I get knocked down" is always good..
Len's "If you steal my sunshine" is peppy. Moby's "Southside" if you like a challenge. Blind Melon's bee girl song..."No rain" ...
If you could somehow make Childish Gambino's Redbone work in this style- I would buy a copy from you- even if it doesn't fit this list.

Deerhunter - Fading Frontier
Between the final two tracks of this record lies a telling indicator of its mood. Ironically, the clue has little to do with Deerhunter. Surrounded by synth bleeps and radio noise, American folk traditional “I Wish I Was a Mole in the Ground” drifts within earshot. The song longs for home and anonymity, but in this context its presence is far from comforting, and closer to some kind of BioShock nightmare. Over one hundred years later, Bradford Cox feels the same longing, yet he’s doubtful whether any such contentment can be attained. His first words here are “My home / anywhere”, setting the tone for what follows.
Three weeks before the album’s release, a self-described concept map of influences appeared on Deerhunter’s website. It covers everything from INXS to “soulless new car smell”, and has been interpreted earnestly by most critics, which I find absurd, considering Cox’s long history of trolling. (This is, of course, the man who once played “My Sharona” for an hour after a sarcastic audience request, and who dedicated an entire interview to savaging Morrissey, an artist he hardly cares for one way or the other). The map does provide some insight; it’s striking how many of its reference points allude to 80s pop/rock. Also significant is the note, placed centrally, about Cox being hit by a car late last year.
He’s since endured the depressive lows a near-death experience can cause, often made worse by an expectation of gratitude for the life you still have. Not that he’s lacking there; “Living My Life” is an affirmative chant which probably helps him more than us, and the more impressive opener resolves to turn weaknesses into virtues. Lest you fear Deerhunter have gone all Positive Role Model on us, this point is reached via tales of domestic despair and an interpersonally ruinous sex change. Though a move towards pop and away from the murky angst of Monomania is immediately clear, the innovative touches you’d expect are still present. The nine-and-a-half then seven-and-a-half-bar verses of “All the Same” subtly unsettle, especially the first couple; their extra two measures underlining Cox’s indecisive tension (“I could leave or I could stay”).
Altogether, though, Fading Frontier is frustratingly spotty. “Ad Astra” gets condemned to disappointment by the interstellar pretentions of its title, and two of the three mid-tempo rockers are unprepossessing drafts. Save yourself six minutes by skipping “Leather and Wood” in favour of “Snakeskin”. Bradford begins with a crucifixion metaphor, steals a chorus from his own solo project, while his band nimbly rides a funk groove later seasoned with backwards-tracked loops. All clocking in at a possibly coincidental 4:20, it’s the pick of this bunch. Just a pity there aren’t more competitors for that honour.

ManpowerGroup, Competitive Wisconsin: Partner on building Wisconsin's talent pipeline
Be Bold Works with Employers, Workers and Educators To Meet New Demands on Productivity, Innovation and Talent
MILWAUKEE / PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), the world leader in innovative workforce solutions, and Competitive Wisconsin, Inc. (CWI) have partnered to assist Wisconsin's business, government, and academic leaders address the state's short-term skills gap and its longer-term need to build a sustainable and globally competitive talent pool that empowers workers and meets employers' needs.
The initiative — part of CWI's ongoing Be Bold efforts to develop and advocate for strategic policies to enhance how Wisconsin competes, grows jobs and strengthens its economy — clarifies how producing clusters of in-demand skilled workers could help the current workforce, support employers and position Wisconsin as a top destination state for both talent and businesses.
"For Wisconsin's growing economy to thrive in the Human Age — an era in which skilled talent is increasingly scarce — the state's employers will require a skilled workforce here in Wisconsin and improved national, regional and global access to talent through contemporary work models," said Jonas Prising, ManpowerGroup President of the Americas and Chairman of Junior Achievement USA.
ManpowerGroup Solutions, the company's outcome-based and talent-driven solutions business, is conducting a complex analysis of the state's workforce, focused on short- and long-term supply and demand projections in critical industries and select skill clusters. Researchers are also talking with representatives from Wisconsin's education and training workforce ecosystem in an effort to profile best practices.
"Domestically, states short on in-demand talent face high recruitment costs," said Scott T. VanderSanden, President and CEO of AT&T Wisconsin and CWI President. "In turn, states with an over-supply of talent with outdated skills are burdened with rising unemployment which reduces public sector income and increases the need for financial assistance. Examining talent development opportunities across the state's industry sectors and education systems is key to driving the best customized workforce strategy for Wisconsin."
The ManpowerGroup Be Bold 2 study will be completed in September and will serve as a cornerstone of CWI's 2012 Wisconsin Economic Summit Series this fall.
"ManpowerGroup is inspired by the State of Wisconsin's progress toward becoming a world-class model for employment and has contributed toward this goal for 60 years as one of the state's landmark corporations," Prising added. "As a global company headquartered in Wisconsin, ManpowerGroup also has a vested interest in enhancing the competitiveness of the state's workforce."
ManpowerGroup works on a range of public-private initiatives worldwide to drive employment. ManpowerGroup endorses include the HR Policy Association's U.S. Blueprint for Jobs in the 21st Century and the Business 20 (B20) Task Force on Employment master plan for boosting global employment. These plans identify public-private sector initiatives for upskilling and placing talent into growing industry sectors. A co-chair on the new B20 task force, Jeff Joerres, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO, delivered its priority actions to the G20 last month.
About Competitive Wisconsin, Inc.
Competitive Wisconsin, Inc. is a nonpolitical consortium of agriculture, business, education and labor leaders in Wisconsin who work together to focus attention on the state's competitiveness. CWI's mission is to improve the economic climate of Wisconsin in order to encourage the expansion of existing businesses and enhance the possibility of developing and attracting new businesses.
Competitive Wisconsin is currently conducting an extensive examination of work force training and development through a comprehensive study, a series of informational briefings, and several planned summits. The Be Bold 2 study will create strategic workforce and training recommendations that will assist in the implementation of consequential workforce policy. Competitive Wisconsin will continue to work with government, business, education and organization officials to ensure Wisconsin's competitive and economic strength.

Culter United Under 13s have won the B League title and are now in preparations for A league football next season at Under 14s level. Culter United were in a regional trophy group at the start of the season with Dyce BC and Newmachar United, three really good teams with United ending up in the B League.
United completed their season on Sunday with a 1-0 win over Portlethen which meant a 100% record in all 18 games was confirmed in what was a great achievement for all involved with Culter United 2005s.
Culter United coach Simon Longhurst said: "We wanted to start in the B league however the group draw to determine which league we would go in wasn't the greatest, we knew Dyce would be a bottom league A side and we have had some good games with Newmachar so it could have been a situation where we were either in the A league or C league, it all panned out alright.
"We could never have imagined that at the start of the season, we wanted to finish top half in the B league, to stay undefeated let alone draw is quite incredible, it's been credit to the players as they haven't steamrolled any team, they have had to work hard for the points every week, they have been behind in some of the games too so things haven't went our own way.
"It was the two games against Colony Park that kind of swung it in our favour, we beat them 1-0 back in February then played them recently and won the game 4-0 and it was the best we played all season, all the parents and the coaches were so proud of the players that day because they done so well and that was a turning point.
"We looked at the table after 5-6 games and thought we have a good chance here, success always has people looking over your shoulder and we have players at the club that would grace any A league team and all you can do is make your club as attractive as possible, we try to create an environment so that players can enjoy their football, it's a happy camp just now, I think if we keep the squad and add a couple of players that we will give it a right good go in the A league."
Congratulations to all at Culter United 2005 on their success!

Spring is Poppin' Up Good Things!
Happy Spring, Sweet Readers! I wanted to share my latest (in what has unfortunately become a rare experience these days) baking adventure. You have seen these here many many times in many forms, but I just loved the color of these little cupcake truffles (AKA cake pops). They are red velvet with some yummy vanilla cream cheese frosting. I just love the way the pink and purple go so well with the jewel tone sprinkles. They make me smile. Hope they do the same for you!

Are you managing a VMware deployment and finding gaps in functionality, particularly in the areas of backup and recovery, management, and migration? Vizioncore is seeing the same problems over and over again in VMware deployments and has developed a strong, strategic partnership with Vmware to fill those functionality gaps. We recently spoke with Chris Akerberg, vice president of global sales for Vizioncore, who told us how his company leverages the power of Linux to develop easy-to-use, intelligent software to enhance VMware and solve real-world problems.
Vizioncore develops four products that you can buy separately or bundled. The first, esxRanger Professional ($499 per CPU socket on the VMware host), provides VMware image backups, with nightly differentials and file-level restores with seamless Vmware consolidated backup (VCB) integration. The second, esxCharter ($299 per CPU socket on the VMware host), provides simple monitoring and management of the complete virtual environment, letting IT departments accurately and easily charge for resource utilization. The third, esxReplicator ($399 per virtual machine--VM), provides real-time replication of whole VM, allowing even the small-to-midsized business (SMB) market to have high-availability (HA) options And the fourth, esxMigrator ($1,000 for 25 VMs, $2,500 for 100 VMs, $7,500 for an unlimited enterprise license), fully automates and limits the downtime of VMware migrations from ESX 2.x to VI3. You can buy the first three components bundled for significant savings.
Vizioncore is currently devoted to enhancing the VMware experience, but it's not turning a blind eye to the other platform vendors. The company is watching the market closely.

If you ask any education or training professional what is the best way to deliver training content, you may get a variety of answers, including some that use industry jargon and acronyms.
Deciding how to deliver content in the most efficient and effective manner will vary depending on many inputs: time, budget, location of learners, and how comprehensive the program. At Fern River, we help you decide what solution best meets your needs – and we’ll even throw in the jargon if it makes you feel better.
Delivery methods may include the following.
And, of course, it’s likely that we’ll combine methods for the most impact. (That’s “blended” in industry jargon.)
For each of the facilitated delivery methods, we produce comprehensive learner workbooks, instructor notes, and electronic support materials.
The most successful learning environments include immersion and engagement for the learner. At Fern River, we know that retention is only gained through repetition and interaction. In particular, we focus on three types of interaction:
Taking on a new role gives the participant an opportunity to model behavior and actually engage in the activity we are trying to simulate in the classroom. Highlights of this method include the ability to:
We have found that the best way to teach new software or a business process is to actually practice using the software and the process. In some instances, however, it is not possible or feasible to use the live or actual software. For these situations, we develop software simulations or other computer-based activities that illustrate a business process.
As a child you learned the rules of games through practice and play. Over time you probably mastered the game and had fun doing it. As adults, we still learn the same basic way and gaming provides the same fun and safe environment to learn new things. Most of life’s lessons can be found in games that provide a forum for:

Guest post written by Caltech Amgen Scholar Samantha Jensen
The kitchen of Avery House was a sacred place this summer. Invariably, entering the room led to participating in an earnest and heavy discussion: about aspirations, about CRISPR Cas9 vectors, about God and morality, about algorithmic complexity, about relationships, about protein binding sites, about wind resistance. Undergraduate researchers from all over the world gathered there to joke, watch TV, and eat ramen noodles.
Guest post written by Kyoto University Amgen Scholar Nguyen Hoang Yen Nhi
For me, the most valuable part of Amgen Scholars Program was working in a laboratory. I met great people who made me feel appreciated and loved.
In my host laboratory, I found the field that I am passionate about and where I really want to continue working in the future: microalgae research. I was surprised by the large number of species of microalgae in our lab and admired the research of other lab members. I also saw and used some technology for the first time such as the HPLC sequencing machine that my home university taught us about but did not have.
For new Amgen Scholars thinking about the next 10 years, it might feel nearly impossible to imagine where they’ll be. Perhaps their research will lead them to academia, perhaps a biotech startup, perhaps policy – the options may feel endless. This unpredictability resonates for one alumna who was part of the first cohort of the Amgen Scholars program in 2007 and took an unexpected trajectory to where she is now.
by Scott Heimlich, Vice President, Amgen Foundation
It's no surprise that when students become fascinated by science, that enthusiasm can be contagious. From our survey with Change the Equation, we know students crave hands-on biology experiences that are often lacking in the classroom.
Recent research shows students gain confidence, interest in science and biotechnology after participating in program
August 24, 2017 /3BL Media/ - The Amgen Foundation today announced it will expand the Amgen Biotech Experience (ABE) to reach nearly 900,000 high school students by 2020. For nearly 30 years, ABE has empowered high school science teachers to implement real-world biotechnology labs in their classrooms to help their students better understand science and how it influences their daily lives.

Verify North Korea's Nuclear Weapons Programs?-- Hey, They Can't Even Find Kim Jong Il
So now we have the mystery of the missing "Dear Leader" of North Korea, Kim Jong Il, who did not show up in public Tuesday for the 60th anniversary parade to mark the founding of the modern world's most brutally repressive state.
Is Kim alive? Is he dead? Has he had a stroke? Who knows? There's even a story making the rounds that Kim died five years ago, and well-trained doubles have been filling in for the rotund tyrant -- in which case someone behind the scenes has been doing a thorough job of keeping alive the tradition in which Pyongyang ruling elite swill cognac, build nuclear weapons and extort aid, cash and concessions from the U.S. while millions of ordinary North Koreans starve.
Whatever's become of the elusive Kim, his current vanishing act highlights the willful idiocy of U.S. policy that has sought, first under President Clinton, and again during the second term of President Bush, to strike nuclear disarmament deals with North Korea that depend on Kim's promises of future cooperation. The problem is not solely determining whether Kim himself is alive or dead, but that nothing issuing from him (assuming it IS him), or his regime can be trusted, and as we are now observing, it cannot even be verified.
That hasn't stopped the Bush administration, with the Condi Rice State Department blazing the way, from sending Kim -- or whoever it might be in Pyongyang -- $25 million in hard cash, re-starting the Clinton era shipments of free fuel, shoveling in aid (which North Korea can all too easily divert from hungry people to its massive military machine) and ladling out a series of dipomatic concessions in hope of pleasing Kim enough so that he will at least provide a full accounting of his nuclear programs -- which North Korea has yet to deliver.
More than a year-and-a-half has passed since the State Department trumpeted a breakthrough nuclear disarmament deal with North Korea -- which has turned into a debacle. Just last weekend, U.S. special envoy to the Six-Party Talks, Chris Hill, was back in Beijing nattering on about the need for North Korea to provide a "verification protocol" for its nuclear ventures.
Give us a break. Step one ought to be a "verification protocol" for who's actually in charge, and where he/they are. Step two should be the end of that regime. Not payoffs and dignification of the mystery tyrant.

Many Wall Street professionals are waiting for “The Great Rotation” of assets out of fixed income, as the catalyst to restore U.S. institutional trading volumes in equities to their pre-financial crisis levels.
Three weeks ago Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke suggested that the central bank might slow its QE3 stimulus program “in a few weeks.” Since then the Street and economists have been parsing his words, and traders have been wagering when the stimulus might end. This has led to intense speculation and volatility in the U.S. equity markets.
Last Thursday, I attended a Liquidnet media briefing on “The Great Rotation” in which panelists discussed whether the Federal Reserve had begun the “tapering off” of its stimulus program. Most of the economists said the Great Rotation hasn’t happened and won’t happen for at least six months, and that the Fed wouldn’t do anything to disrupt the stability of the U.S. economy. With a weak U.S. recovery, high unemployment rate, and a drop in emerging market export outflows, “The Great Rotation is a macro story,” said Bruce Kasman, Chief Economist & Managing Director of Global Research, JP Morgan.
However, according to a new report by Greenwich Associates,” entitled “Five Reasons Why the Great Rotation Might Not Be So Great,” the long-awaited “Great Rotation” following an uptick in interest rates will not reverse the long-term slide of institutional trading volume in U.S. equities.
Eighty one percent of the buy-side institutions in the Greenwich study think U.S. equity market turnover will fail to rebound to pre-crisis levels by 2014. Daily trading volume in U.S. equities at about 6.3 billion shares is down by a third from the 2009 market high of roughly 9.3 billion.
Oddly, the slump in trading activity has occurred during historically strong market activity, noted Greenwich in its report summary. Also, institutional commission payments from institutions are in sync with market volatility, and go in the opposite direction during periods of rising market valuations.
“Given these patterns it’s possible that even with a strong rally sparked by an influx of assets from investors fleeing fixed income, trading activity could be dampened by a continuation of the low volatility and volume that has characterized the recent run-up,” wrote Greenwich Associates analyst Kevin Kozlowski.
Brokers Plan for New Normal
Equity brokers suffering from the prolonged slump in trading activity had been counting on an increase in interest rates to jumpstart trading. But according to Greenwich, brokers have begun planning for a new market normal in which trading volumes, commission payments and brokerage revenues remain at depressed levels. Brokers are now scaling back their business structures to align with a U.S. equity market of about $9 billion-$10 billion in annual institutional commissions, as opposed to the $13.9 billion peak reached in 2009. In taking steps to right size their business, Greenwich said that brokers are resorting to head count reductions, desk consolidation and cuts in compensation.
But there has been a lot of money flowing out of fixed income into equity mutual funds. According to one panelist at the Liquidnet Great Rotation breakfast, in the first week in June, $10 billion flowed out of fixed income. But that same, domestic equity funds had estimated outflows of $2.52 billion, while estimated inflows to world equity funds were $1.58 billion, according to Investment Company Institute (ICI) data.
“It’s not quite the great rotation but the beginnings of movement out,” said Zane Brown, fixed income strategist at Lord Abbett. Another expert, Rich Repetto, Principal, Equity Research, Sandler O’Neill & Partners, asked why hasn’t this Great Rotation occurred, noting that the S&P 500 was up 13 percent year to date. Repetto said he expects the Great Rotation to happen but a number of factors might impact it. First, retail trading as a gauge of investor sentiment is up 10 percent for Q2 at Schwab, E*Trade and TD Ameritrade. “It could be the best quarter since 2009,” said Repetto last Thursday. Another sign that the great rotation hasn’t come is the bifurcation between retail investors and advisers, said Repetto. Advisers moved out of cash relative to retail assets last year to catch the returns.

The following is a summary of global temperature conditions in Berkeley Earth’s analysis of October 2020.
- October 2020 was the 5th warmest October since records began in 1850.
- A moderate La Niña has strengthened in the Pacific, reducing temperatures from September.
- Very warm conditions occurred over most of the Arctic, coincident with very record low sea ice extent for October.
- With 10 months completed, 2020 is now slightly behind 2016 as the warmest year since instrumental measurements began.
- A relatively cool October and stronger La Niña has sharply reduced the odds that 2020 will be a record warm year. We estimate only a 16% chance that 2020 ends as the warmest year, and a 80% chance that it finishes as the second warmest year.
Globally, October 2020 has been the fifth warmest October since records began in 1850. This is similar to other recent years, but appreciably lower than in 2019 and 2015. This is the first month in 2020 that has been ranked lower than the fourth warmest. Previously in 2020, April, May, June, July, and September have each been record warm or tied the previous record.
The global mean temperature in October 2020 was 0.85 ± 0.07 °C (1.53 ± 0.12 °F) above the 1951 to 1980 average.
This is equivalent to being 1.18 ± 0.08 °C (2.12 ± 0.14 °F) above the 1850 to 1900 average, which is frequently used as a benchmark for the preindustrial period.
The global mean temperature anomaly in October 2020 was a tick downward from September, though still similar to July and August. The current values remain close to the long-term trend line associated with recent global warming.
October 2020 continues the ongoing pattern of wide-spread warmth, though with some notable exceptions. Particularly warm conditions were present in parts of Asia, Western Europe, the Middle East, and South America. Record setting warmth was also present in parts of the Northern and Western Pacific. Significantly cool temperatures occurred in parts of the Eastern Pacific and North America.
We estimate that 5.8% of the Earth’s surface experienced their locally warmest October average, and 68% of the Earth’s surface was significantly warmer when compared to their local average during the period 1951 to 1980. In addition, 0.02% of Earth’s surface had their locally coldest October.
The cool area in the Eastern Pacific, first observed in June, substantially increased in October. This is indicative of strengthening La Niña conditions.
Over land regions, 2020 was the fifth warmest October, coming in as 1.36 ± 0.14 °C (2.45 ± 0.25 °F) above the 1951 to 1980 average.
Influenced by the growing La Niña, October 2020 was merely the sixth warmest October in the oceans, recorded as 0.47 ± 0.07 °C (0.85 ± 0.11 °F) above the 1951 to 1980 average.
During October, both land and ocean recorded their lowest rank position of 2020.
Highly elevated temperatures were present across much of the Arctic Ocean, up to nearly 12 °C above the 1950-1980 average. In many cases, these were not quite records for October, but they were associated with record low sea ice for October, with the warmest areas associated with unusual regions of open water. Whereas warm Arctic weather in the spring and early summer originally drove sea ice declines, the causality is now reversed. At this point, the persistent areas of open water are largely responsible for causing the warm air temperatures.
In addition, the unusually low sea ice extent allowed for the Northeast Passage through the Arctic Ocean, along the Siberian Coast, to remain open for a record length of time. This year witnessed both the earliest date of an open seaway in the Arctic and the latest closing of such a passage. Thirty years ago, many years never experienced open water conditions at all. This year, the passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific remained open for a record 112 days.
While most of the United States had below average temperatures in October, it is worth noting that California was at record highs in October. The potential for wildfires in California is strongly influenced by the weather conditions during May to October. During hot & dry years, the native vegetation can become highly flammable contributing to the spread and intensity of wildfires. All ten of the largest and most destructive wildfires in California history occurred during fire seasons that were hotter and drier than average.
This year was, by far, the warmest such period on record for California. Combined with below average rainfall, vegetation in California has been extremely vulnerable to fire this year. This contributed to a record-breaking 4.2 million acres (17,000 km²) of wildfire so far in 2020. This is more than double the previous record. In addition 5 of the 6 largest fires ever recorded in California history occurred this year.
Weather conditions, and by extension climate change, are not the only factors affecting wildfires in California. Forest management practices and the encroachment of settlements on wild lands have also played a significant role. However, climate change has been a major factor in the intensifying of wildfires during recent years.
October 2020 showed a strengthening and consolidation of La Niña conditions in the Pacific Ocean. This weather phenomenon is characterized by the emergence of relatively cool ocean water in the Eastern Central Pacific and would be expected to have a cooling impact on global weather patterns over the next several months. Currently, La Niña has increased from weak to moderate intensity. It is expected to peak this winter, and some forecasts point towards a strong La Niña.
La Niña conditions this fall and winter would be expected to reduce global mean temperature towards the end of 2020 and in first half of 2021.
2020 January to October Summary
After 10 months, the Earth in 2020 has been marked by above average temperatures nearly everywhere, with especially extreme conditions across Northern Asia. We estimate that the January to October average has been record warm for 10.9% of the Earth, and appreciably above the 1951 to 1980 average for 87% of the Earth. Only, 1.0% of the Earth’s surface was significantly cooler than the 1951 to 1980 average during the current January to October period, and no locations were record cool.
In addition, the January to October averages for Asia, South America, and Europe have set new record highs.
Looking at regions where January to October temperature averages were either the top 5 warmest or the top 5 coldest observed, we note extensive regions with record or near-record warmth during the first ten months of 2020 and no regions of near-record cold.
Rest of 2020
Of the first ten months of 2020, April, May, June, July, and September each set or tied a record for warmth. Other months were each no lower than the fifth warmest. However, the intensification of La Niña and relatively mild October have had a downward effect on predictions for the annual average.
Overall, the January to October average is now slightly behind the pace set in 2016, which was the warmest year on record.
The projected warmth during the end of the year remains quite high. However, the strengthening La Niña event expected to peak this winter suggests that temperatures at the end of 2020 may be cooler than previously expected.
The statistical approach that we use now believes that 2020 has only a 16% likelihood of surpassing 2016 and becoming the warmest year that has been directly measured. This is sharply lower from the previous forecast that placed the odds of a new record at 57%. This decrease in probability is driven by the relative cooling in October and the strengthening of the ongoing La Niña.
Events with a 16% likelihood still occur about 1 time out of 6, and a new record remains possible. However, the unexpected magnitude of the current La Niña now makes it unlikely that 2020 will set a record for warmest year.
Regardless of whether a new record is set, it remains highly likely that 2020 will be either the warmest or second warmest year since 1850.
Likelihood of final 2020 ranking, based on January to October:
- 1st place (16%)
- 2nd place (80%)
- 3rd place (4%)
- Top 3 overall (>99%)
As 2020 has progressed, the uncertainty on the final average for the year has predictably narrowed. If we examine this change over time, we note that early in the year odds of a new record were somewhat above 50%, albeit with low confidence. This dropped sharply in June when hints of a transition to La Niña developed, but a new record continued to have a substantial likelihood, buoyed by a series of record warm months. The odds of a new record again moved slightly above 50% following the record warm weather in September, before now dropping again as La Niña has intensified in October.

OK...maybe I can be of some help with some of the specifics of my test on Friday. (Idaho certification)
So I was very nervous, and the test proctor knew it, but she was a 25-year retired RN, and although strict, was very fair and helpful. I shuffled a deck of cards, each with a "scenario number" on it (1, 2, 3, etc) and got scenario 1.
There were something like 7 or 8 different scenarios. Right away she says, "Oh, that's like one of the easier ones".
I am happy
So everybody gets the following: Handwashing, Blood Pressure, Respirations, Pulse. Some states do other stuff like how well you communicate, but I talk a lot, so I wasn't concerned about that.
My skills were: Feeding a helpless patient, and recording I & O properly, denture care, and bedmaking. I was somewhat disappointed that I didn't get one of (what I considered) to be the 'harder' skills like Bed Bath or Catheter care, but I passed
and the proctor told me I did really well.
The proctor was the key to all this. YES, I studied. YES, I practiced, but she put me at ease, chatted with me about my career plans, and when we finished, I still had about 5 minutes to spare. (we got 30 mins total).
Study, practice, and go for it. If for whatever reason you DO fail it the first time, it doesn't mean you don't get to be a CNA, it just means you have to re-test, but then you will TOTALLY KNOW the procedure for testing!!!

As 2013 winds to a close, I’m taking a look at the year that was on Dear Wendy. Last week, I posted the 30 most popular columns of the year. Today, I’ve got the 25 most popular forum discussions — some of which kept you chatting throughout the year. In 2013, we had roughly 1,800 new forum topics and nearly 55,000 replies.

Your stay in the Pays de la Loire Region, half-way between green and blue tourism
Your stay in the Pays de la Loire Region will take you to the heart of the mysterious Brière, of Green Venice or of the troglodyte villages, bewitching you with its Gregorian chants and its phantasmal popular art...
Green tourism in the Pays de la Loire Region
There is so much water waiting for you during your stay in the Pays de la Loire Region! No less than 400 km of navigable rivers available for long cruises by small barge, canal boat or by “foigouille" craft. You will sail down the Mayenne, the Maine, the Sarthe, the Oudon... Not to forget the Erdre, lined with mansions and utopian residences like the "Folies Sifflait", full of charming eccentricity with their trick villas and their mock stairways leading nowhere.
And then there is the Loire, to be explored on a “gabare", a flat-bottomed boat with square sails that comes to us from the 19th century. West of Nantes, the mysterious Brière, all peat bogs and canals spread over 20,000 hectares, should also be explored by barge, departing from Trignac or St-Liphard.
In this heaven for bearded reedlings, common coots and bluethroats, you can visit the Lock Keeper’s House, and especially the small village of Kerhinet: its thatched cottages with their roofs made of marsh reeds and rush seem to have come straight out of a fairy tale. On the river’s opposite bank, Grand-Lieu Lake, one of Europe’s finest nature reserves, shelters the little egret and the gadwall duck, and in July it is literally covered in water lilies.
Further south, the Poitevin Marsh and its small fields lined with canals also attract all migratory travellers, be they passing birds or tourists who fall under the spell of the “Green Venice”.
Your stay in the Pays de la Loire Region: cycling, horse riding or driving
Not too far away, the town of Fontenay-le-Comte of Rabelais fame, the town of Vouvant haunted by the legend of Mélusine, the Châteaux of Pouzauges and Tiffauges, strongholds of the notorious Gilles de Rais, also known as Bluebeard, are all great opportunities for a getaway into the Vendée.
In the Anjou, Maulévrier Oriental Park harbours Buddhist philosophy, the Rose Garden in Doué-la-Fontaine gives out its lovely fragrance, while beautiful Eleanor of Aquitaine sleeps on forevermore in Fontevraud. While in the Maine-et-Loire, you should also go underground to visit the Rocheminier troglodytes and the sculpted bestial creatures in the Dénezé-sous-Doué caves, and tour the “Blue Mine” and its slate seams in Noyant-la-Gravoyère.
When passing through the Sarthe, experience the highly spiritual ambience that comes forth when the Gothic vaults in Solesmes Abbey resound with the most wonderful Gregorian chants. Further down the valley, the renowned ceramic and earthenware workshops in Malicorne are open to interested visitors.
In the Mayenne, you’ll enjoy strolling through the streets of Sainte-Suzanne, a delightful Medieval burgh, and you’ll be startled by Roger Tatin’s Fantasy Art Fortress in Cossé-le-Vivien.
All the regional capitals too are worth a visit: the old Medieval city and the Automotive Museum in Le Mans, the Apocalypse Tapestry in Angers, the School of Cavalry in Saumur, the Jules Verne Museum and the Passage Pommeraye in Nantes and much more.
Blue tourism, a must in the Pays de la Loire Region
This leaves the sea, the long beaches at La Baule, La Tranche and Saint-Jean-de-Monts, the charm of Yeu Island and Noirmoutier Island, which is pleasant to reach via the Gois causeway at low tide, and the Ocearium at Le Croisic where you can watch rockfish, penguins and sharks frolicking in 600 cubic metres of water.
Conducive to make you want to get back in shape with its six thalassatherapy centres, the coast is also a heaven for golfers and amateur sailors. Everywhere, a breeze charged with iodine strongly stimulates the appetite.
Once you have sampled salmon or spike cooked in white butter, vine-shoot grilled eels, Rillettes from Le Mans and Chateaubriant steak, all that’s left to do, with a seafood platter and a glass of Loire wine before you, is to let the sea air delightfully go to your head...
Let the wealth of the Pays de la Loire Region terroir cast its spell on you, and enjoy a stay at a Logis hotel restaurant.

Climbing the corporate ladder can be hell...
As a collections demon, Zavier grants his "clients" one wish in exchange for their souls. His job sucks, but once you make a deal with Corporate South, they own you. The trouble is, Zavier's not a very good collections demon, with his tendencies to spurn authority and find loopholes to help deserving clients out of their contracts. He's under scrutiny from the head of his department, who would quite literally like to see him burn. He just needs to close a simple deal to get upper management off his back. Instead, he meets Ryan.
Ryan is desperately searching for a way to save his dying sister. He doesn't believe in magic and demons, but he's out of options. Zavier's not what he expects in a demon, and even more unexpected is the strong sense of familiarity-very intimate familiarity.
While trying to free Ryan from his contract, Zavier discovers secrets unscrupulous even by South standards. Exposing them could cost Zavier everything, but it might be Ryan's only hope.<

Visit me on FACEBOOK
I work in charcoal, paints, pencil, and ink. The process of painting and drawing for my personal work differs from my process when working as an illustrator or a graphic designer. In that job, I am primarily engaged with the clients desires, and the offering of a visual solution to please them. When painting or drawing for myself, I am engaged with my own desires, as well as the demands of the painting or drawing.
For me, art-making is an emotional, physical response to the world – what I see, hear and experience – and it can be a way to slow things down, to regain a sense of balance. But in order to complete a painting or drawing I must be in service to what it wants or needs, above and beyond my limited senses. In this way I must let go of control and listen, wait, and learn. Other artists – what they have done before me – and especially the painting itself are my teachers.
I begin by responding to something that calls to me in some way, that captures my eye, heart and mind, that invokes a strong internal response. Often, this includes the human or animal form, or the figure in the landscape. Feelings will emerge, and responding to them continues the process. Dreams, visions or memories might make their appearance, as well as things forgotten. If I can stay focused and open, something not previously known may arrive, a synthesis, an integration. I might get lost on the way, frustrated. Then the only thing to do is keep on putting marks of some kind onto the surface, and wait for enough of the drawing or painting to show up to be able to hear it tell me what it wants.

Francis D. Wymard
Phone: (412) 904-3360
Mr. Wymard's practice focuses on immigration and criminal matters. Regarding immigration law, Mr. Wymard provides a full spectrum of immigration-related services including immigrant and nonimmigrant visas, green card applications, and naturalization. Having spent the last few years in the corporate world, he understands the needs of employers as they relate to immigration issues. Specifically, his risk assessment experience allows him to train employers and employees on best business practices as they relate to immigration. Additionally, he is highly skilled in advising clients on a wide range of regulatory and enforcement issues before various government agencies including: U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Department of Labor, U.S. Attorneys' Office, Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General and the Allegheny County District Attorney's Office. Mr. Wymard is a member of the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and has served on the board of Acculturation for Justice, Access & Peace Outreach (AJAPO), which is a non-profit that provides a continuum of care to empower African and Afro-Caribbean refugees and immigrants to become self-sufficient and integrated into Allegheny County, including the Greater Pittsburgh Community.
With respect to criminal law, Mr. Wymard previously worked as an Assistant District Attorney in Allegheny County, where he served as first seat prosecutor in numerous jury and non-jury trials, argued at preliminary hearings, and negotiated pleas. Mr. Wymard puts to use the invaluable experience he gained in representing the government to work exclusively for clients charged with a myriad of crimes in both state and federal courts, including DUI, drug related offenses, white collar and violent crimes.
Regarding the interplay between immigration and criminal law, in 2010, the United States Supreme Court ruled in Padilla v. Commonwealth of Kentucky that criminal defense attorneys must advise noncitizen clients about any potential immigration-related issues that may result from a plea or adverse verdict. Since then, Mr. Wymard has successfully advised various immigration related clients who have been charged with criminal offenses on the effects of potential pleas or verdicts to their immigration status. Additionally, Mr. Wymard obtained a not guilty verdict in front of jury in a case where a legal permanent resident client was charged with criminal offenses that had the client been convicted of he would have been placed in removal proceedings.
When Mr. Wymard isn't plotting and planning how to help his clients out, he spends time with his wife and three children. He also enjoys skiing, golf and softball, and working on his immigration blog that can be found at https://immigration454.wordpress.com/.

Patriots still No. 1 in volleyball poll
Published 8:00 pm, Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Due to a light early-season schedule, the Week 1 volleyball poll is nearly identical to the preseason poll. The only change voters wanted to make was to push Bad Axe ahead of Cass City into the No. 2 slot. The Hatchets defeated the Red Hawks at the Bad Axe Invitational on Aug. 23. Cass City, though, rebounded with a second-place finish at the New Lothrop Invitational last Thursday. This weekend, No.1 Unionville-Sebewaing Area hosts the USA Invitational while a couple of non-area teams go to the Mt. Morris Invitational.

Another in my irregular round-ups of Yiddish and Yinglish stuff in the blogsphere: The Peter Schmuck file at grow-a-brain does some of it for me (Homeland security in Yiddish, Will Eisner, American Jewish music, etc).
This is the best new blog I've seen for a while: אין מױל אַרײַן (the Chocolate lady's blogspot). At the risk of adding to my recent porn explosion, we have a Yiddish post about food porn watch - all the foodie blogs you could fit in your kitchen. But this is my favourite recent posts: The Chocolate Lady’s Shabes Ki Seytse Survival Guide (a post-Katrina "a tribute to the courageous peoples and rich cultures of our ravaged gulf coast").
Finally, an addition to the Axis of Bob that I've only recently noticed, a lovely Portuguese blog, Rua da Judiaria.
The illustration, here, by the way, is George der Naygeriker, Curious George in Yiddish, translated by Sholem Berger (a blogger, incidentally).

The world is waiting for a major political event in North Korea for any sign of its young leader, who has not been seen in over a month.
His mysterious disappearance has been fueling a frenzy of rumor and speculation because Kim Jong Un has never been camera-shy.
Since the beginning of 2013, he has made at least seven public appearances each month. But on September 3rd, the photo ops suddenly stopped.
The longer Kim Jong Un remains out of sight, the more speculation intensifies about who is controlling the most isolated country on earth.
Erin Burnett reports.

, where the road runs through a patch of woodland. There is plenty of parking along wide verges on both sides of the highway, though most people drive into the park, along its 2 miles of road that lead to various beaches, overlooks and trailheads. However, vehicular entrance costs $8 while walk-ins are free, and as no part of the point is more than one mile from the highway, it seems best to leave cars by the main road. Busy summer days may see the park reach maximum capacity for vehicles, though people can always enter on foot. All major sites can be visited in 2 to 3 hours of easy walking - in addition to the roadway, the area is crossed by many short, well-signposted trails, one following all around the promontory, close to the shore, several crossing the hills and woods inland, and other short spurs to beaches and overlooks. For a small piece of land, Point Lobos has an unusually large number of recognized features, with every little cove, beach and hill having its own name, and all places are reachable along the footpaths. The reserve is open from 9 am to half an hour after sunset and has few facilities, just a small museum at Whaler's Cabin and an information cabin at Sea Lion Point.
Map of Point Lobos State Natural Reserve
Past the entrance booth, the first path on the right leads to the northern section of the reserve - through pine trees, some draped with wispy fronds of lichen, and occasional cypress trees, then across the flowers and grass of Carmelo Meadow
to the first sight of the ocean at Whaler's Cove, where choppy, kelp-filled waters wash against low cliffs and a small pebble beach. This is the main site for scuba diving in the park. The east edge of the cove is formed by Granite Point
, a rocky, treeless bluff, beyond which the coastline is similar for half a mile to the edge of the reserve, where the rocks give way to sand around San Jose Creek, at the lower end of Carmel River State Beach. The shoreline is more spectacular to the west - a path (the North Shore Trail) climbs from Whaler's Cove over a small ridge to the edge of Bluefish Cove
, the most beautiful part of the whole point, where turbulent waves crash over weathered boulders and surge through vertical chasms, framed by colorful, fractured cliffs and topped by twisted, wind-blown trees.
The trail continues around the edge of Bluefish Cove, into the woods and away from the water for a while, soon passing a junction with a path to the high point of the promontory (Whaler's Knoll
) then turning northward, running through a cool, moist grove between the hill and a particularly steep-sided rock
), which is densely-covered with pine and cypress trees. The cliff edge hereabouts is generally too sheer and rugged to approach easily. The trail reaches another junction with the far end of the path to Whaler's Knoll - the summit is a short, steep climb away though the hill is covered in bushes, and views in most directions are partly obscured. Next is Cypress Grove
, location of the main concentration of ancient Monterey cypress trees (Point Lobos being one of just two places where they grow wild on the California coast), after which the path rejoins the park road, at one of the three main carparks. Short trails lead seawards to the westernmost areas - to Point Lobos itself, Sand Hill
for a good panorama of the area (see QTVR
), and to the edge of the ocean at Sea Lion Point. The sea around the cove is particularly rough and churning, known as Devil's Cauldron
; just beyond, 400 feet from shore, are several rocks inhabited by many sea lions, whose raucous cries can be heard all over the reserve. This part of the coast has several sandy or pebbly beaches, and a low plateau near the water level, formed of sandstone and conglomerate (the Carmelo Formation). As this area is close to the road, the paths are often quite busy, unlike areas further east.
The coastal path follows the east side of the point running beside the road, passing low cliffs and small beaches towards China Cove
, a pretty inlet with a sheltered stretch of sand, reached by about a hundred wooden steps. Just south are higher cliffs, steep-sided channels, isolated rocks, several wave-cut arches and a few small islands - a side trail here is one of the favorite spots for painters and photographers. The largest piece of offshore land is Bird Island
, home to thousands of gulls and other sea birds. The last part of the coast is Sandy Beach
(aka Gibson Beach), also with steps down; this is bordered on the south side by private residences at the edge of Carmel Highlands. A little used path (the South Plateau Trail) leads north from the beach across Monterey pine & coastal oak woodland for half a mile back to the entrance station.

Keefe, Bruyette & Woods has lowered its rating on Bank of America shares to market perform from outperform, saying the bank is facing earnings pressure from expected further interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
“Our expectation that the economy would accelerate post the cut in the fed funds rate has not played out as expected,” KBW analyst Brian Kleinhanzl said in a note to investors Thursday.
The firm believes the Fed will continue to cut interest rates as the trade war with China continues. Kleinhanzl said KBW sees “no end in sight for the trade war,” further weighing on Bank of America’s stock as well as long-term interest rates.
Bank of America shares were down 1% Friday afternoon from its previous close of $28.12 a share. KBW also lowered its price target to $36 a share from $29 a share.
KBW expects Bank of America will continue on its current growth strategy and remain “a prudent underwriter.”
“However, those positives are not enough to offset our lower net interest income expectations near term,” Kleinhanzl said. “We do expect returns to remain well above the cost of capital even in a falling rate environment but we remain neutral on shares while we wait for new catalysts to emerge that will drive earnings and returns higher.”

Toronto – The Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) has strongly condemned the decision of the Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan (OTPP) to move a large portion of its enterprise technology service (ETS) to a company in India next year.
In 2009, OPSEU filed a policy grievance regarding Teranet’s interpretation of the recognition clause. The recognition clause describes what Teranet work is governed by the Collective Agreement. Although Teranet and OPSEU worked hard to achieve a settlement, none was reached.

While many were watching a continued string of Voice hopefuls rest their dreams of stardom with Adam Levine, Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed friends and political personnel to their fundraiser for Barack Obama at Hov's 40/40 Club in New York City Tuesday night. At $40,000 a plate, this was an exclusive fête for those with plenty of expendable cash—or the willingness to sell a kidney—that trumped Jay's fancy tuxedos-strongly-encouraged performances at Carnegie Hall earlier this year. "Let me just begin by saying to Jay and Bey, thank you so much for your friendship," gushed Mr. President. "We are so grateful. Michelle and Malia and Sasha are mad at me because they are not here." Eh, don't feel too bad, Barack. Your girls did attend Bey's Atlantic City show without you.
Obama went on to praise Beyoncé for being a great role model to his daughters and young women everywhere ("because she carries herself with such class and poise"), continuing the mutual adoration that's brightened what at times has been a dark and depressing election year. He even made jokes! "Jay-Z now knows what my life is like. We both have daughters, and our wives are more popular than we are," Obama said. "So we’ve got a little bond there. It’s hard, but it’s okay." The crux of his speech would eventually touch on the additional bonds shared with music's hottest couple:
And the good thing about so many of us here–and I know, I speak for Jay and Bey–is we remember what it’s like not having anything, and we know people who were just as talented as us that didn’t get the same break, the same chance. We remember some of our parents or grandparents who came here as immigrants and got a little bit of help along the way to go to that school or be able to start that first business.
Note the repetitive, and completely endearing, use of "Jay" and "Bey." He's just like us! Or, as Rookie puts it, Barack Obama is basically "a teenage girl." How much longer before this foursome is renting a summer share on the Vineyard?

The eagle document: Installation
Oechsler, M. (2008) The eagle document: Installation. In: Close encounters of the animal kind, Tate Britiain, UK, 21st November, 2008.
Full text not available from this repository
This interdisciplinary conference explores the contemporary processes of subject formation through encounters with non-human 'otherness'. Though the focus of the conference will be on animals, the becoming-animal, the emphasis will be placed on art practices and on vital politics. The leading question is: what kind of interfaces, encounters, and practices might emerge from the human-animal assemblage?

“It’s a violent place”, John said as I described the long walk Pam and I took on Wednesday. “I don’t like camping there,” he went on. The cliff walls are vertical and almost claustrophobic, yet the basin is open and exposed. Long silver threads of waterfalls dangle down the cliffs, filling the air with the sound of melting snow. Avalanche debris clogs every channel. It’s not a settled eroded sort of place, but recently formed by the forces of gravity and weather.
Right now, the rough edges are softened by summer. The early morning marine clouds evaporated, letting the sun blare down upon lush meadow vegetation. We scouted ahead with crosscut saw and ax, making sure the trail was clear for Katie and the packstring. It’s impossible for me to choose one favorite mountain wildflower, but the combination of lupine and red heather is hard to beat. Warm air releases a wild floral scent, and I feel my steps grow a little lighter as I follow the scent trail.
I’m also quite fond of frogs, and Cascades frogs of all sizes spurted into meadows and puddles as we clomped by. I have heard that global climate change may have a negative effect on frog populations, but so far I’ve not observed a decrease in our local frogs–they appear to be thriving. It’s unclear yet whether the big changes will make the Pacific Northwest wetter and warmer, but that would be better for amphibians than drier and warmer. For now, we still have frogs galore, and I am glad.
On our return trip down the Deception Pass trail, I noticed this old marten set in a burned cedar snag. You don’t see these very often any more. In the early days of the twentieth century, trappers ran traplines to capture these intensely curious members of the weasel family. A shelf was chopped eye level in a tree, and this is where the trap was set and baited. Martens would not be able to resist temptation. Most of the trapping was done in winter when the fur was its plushiest. The furs were sold so that fashionable ladies could wear marten stoles over their shoulders–once in awhile you can find these in vintage clothing shops. I cannot imagine anyone wearing a skinned dead weasel these days. Marten hairs are also used to make sable paintbrushes, and most of sable now comes from Russia and Siberia. I’ve owned sable brushes in the past, but now use only watercolor brushes made of synthetic fibers. My few marten sightings in the woods have been so magical that I can’t bear to think of them harmed by humans. Marten sets are a relic of days gone by.
The trip to Cliff Tree Basin and back was thirteen miles. We ended up cutting four logs, and crossing the Cascade crest. I always feel better when I get back on the east side of the mountains where I belong. A long day of hiking, and we were so happy to see our temporary home at the Fish Lake Guard Station. The evening cooled beautifully and we could sit on the porch without getting devoured by bugs. It’s much quieter than our first visit–the thrushes have gone silent, although I’m sure they’re still around. The side streams are drying up, so it was only the low rush of the Cle Elum River humming me to sleep at night.
On Thursday, Katie showed up with three horses and five mules. Here’s Buck (“Mr. Attitude”) with his goofy shovel-festooned manty loads. He handles this with total aplomb, and nobody laughs at him. He gets the job done. When everybody was loaded, the crew clip-clopped up the trail and I waved goodbye and good luck. They went back to Cliff Tree Basin to drop food and tools for a youth crew who will be doing trail work next week. That’s a good thing–kids in the mountains working hard, learning and growing. Maybe one or two of them will join the next generation of trail crew dirt people.

Raise your hand if you woke up this morning, opened up the curtains and muttered “whoa, sh*t” aloud as you saw winter storm Niko throwing a frozen hissy fit outside.
Not calling it an ‘alert’ today, because with how unspectacular last week’s upload was, I didn’t even post an update. So, this week’s summary is of what’s new this week and what’s still kicking around.
Not to mention I was shoving a bunch of shipping cases around all morning and drinking a celebratory beer atop Aspen Mountain in the afternoon, because #priorities.
One of my friends just asked for my home address. I said I live on the moon.
543548 Celestial Way
Outer Fckin Space, MW %$53#
CABIN FEVER IS REAL, PEOPLE.
WMTM Alert – 2/9/17 Edition
- Suited jacquard black white/black didn’t make much of a splash, markdowns result in multiple options
- Its close relative, iced wave white black is also experiencing an attempt to offload
- Now, brace you eyes and don’t get the above confused with splatter white black. (Seriously.)
- Tight Stuff Tight (only a $24 discount? That’s 16%. Do better, lulu)
- There are still a few Run for Cold Vests and Run for Cold Jackets out there. After trying in store, I wasn’t too impressed.
Tops & Tanks
- If you’re digging the color, grab a Work the Circuit Tank and a pair of scissors. The sports bra runs SMALL so size down, and when you get it, the built-in bra is built in so that it won’t ruin the tank if you want to separate the two. A bra and a tank for $39. You’re welcome.
- The gimmicky Cool Racerbacks didn’t do so well. If you were looking at the Infinite or Deep Breath versions, pounce!
- The Cadence Crusher Singlet didn’t last long at full price. $44 now.
- The Love Racerback and On Track Singlet look similar, but go figure the one with less fabric costs $10 more 😛
- Failure to launch on the crop top trend:
- An old favorite, the 105F Singlet is still kicking around
- If I weren’t trying to reel in the spending, I may have given the Featherlight Short Sleeve Tee a second look.
- Hey Power Y Tank, I see you there in sapphire blue 🙂
- The Work Out to Water Tank would be catching my eye for warm weather hikes if it weren’t a total BLIZZARD outside right now… reminding me that warmth is nowhere near.
Shorts & Pants
- Still 5 colors available in the Wunder Under Hi-Rise for a somewhat reasonable-ish $68
- Looks like the Fresh Tracks Tight underperformed as well, because there are SIX different colourways available on markdown right now.
- I’m a fan of the score jacquard WUCs I got in January, so I consider the Outrun 17″ Crop in score jacquard black indian ocean/black a find!
- I’m finding the heathered black Featherlight Tight difficult to resist, but I am not giving in!
- Everyone’s (ok so ‘my’) favorite: Speed Shorts in life lines polar pink black/black, line up white black, mini midnight tulle multi ( <3 THESE)
- Run Times Short in mini midnight tulle multi black
- Tracker Short IV in ice breaker capri multi black or graf black white
- Props to you if you can rock the grapefruit Speed Track Short in public.
- In the NON-crossback camp, we have:
- Workout/Yoga friendly?
Also… if I ever did yoga, I’d definitely be carrying my mat around in the midnight tulle multi Yoga Bag. Just sayin’.
Paid my AMEX down to ZILCH, and I’m going to try and enjoy that for more than a few minutes, so nothing new for me this week! Anyone else?

4 Health Benefits of Nutritional Yeast, Plus How to Use It in Food
Nutritional yeast is enjoying a sudden surge in popularity—here's why.
You’ve probably seen a slew of trendy recipes that call for nutritional yeast, like cashew cheese, cauliflower mash, kale chips, and vegan pesto. If you’re not familiar with nutritional yeast, you may be wondering what it is, where to find it, why it’s good for you, and other ways to use it. Here’s the lowdown.
Nutritional yeast is a vegan diet staple
Nutritional yeast, also referred to as “nooch,” has been used for eons in plant-based cooking, but it's currently enjoying a surge in popularity. I was introduced to it in my college nutrition science program and began using it frequently after taking a plant-based culinary course years ago.
The golden flakes or powder are made from a type of yeast in the same family as baker’s and brewer’s yeast, but there is no live yeast in the final product. Yeast cells are grown using sugar, such as molasses or beets, and then deactivated by heat, dried, and crumbled. Fortified nutritional yeast, the most commonly used form, contains added nutrients. This nutritious vegan, gluten-free product adds flavor, color, and “cheesiness” to various dishes without the need for dairy.

Nutritional yeast is nutrient-rich
Exact nutrient levels vary from brand to brand, but a two tablespoon serving of the popular Bragg nutritional yeast provides just 40 calories, no fat, 20 mg of sodium (1% of the daily max recommended intake), 3 grams of carbohydrate with 2 grams as fiber (so 1 gram of net carbs), 5 grams of protein, and significant amounts of energy-supporting B vitamins. These include over 90% of the daily target for folate, over 200% for niacin, more than 400% for both vitamin B6 and riboflavin, over 500% for thiamin, and more than 600% for vitamin B12.
Nutritional yeast is an important source of vitamin B12 for people who follow a completely plant-based diet, as this nutrient isn’t found in whole, unprocessed plant foods. One study in people who followed a particular vegan diet for up to four years found that the inclusion of nutritional yeast helped the plant-based eaters meet their B12 needs.
Nutritional yeast supports overall health
In addition to its high-quality protein and B vitamins that support healthy hair, skin, and nails, the fiber in nutritional yeast promotes gut health. The seasoning contains beta-glucan, a specific type of fiber shown to support immunity and bone density, reduce cholesterol and blood pressure, and potentially lower cancer risk.
Nutritional yeast also provides antioxidants and smaller amounts of key minerals, including potassium, iron, selenium, and zinc. Finally, this inactive type of yeast does not contribute to candida yeast infections or overgrowth.
Nutritional yeast is versatile
Nutritional yeast has a cheesy, nutty, umami flavor that some people compare to Parmesan. I love to sprinkle it onto popcorn, salads, cooked veggies, and baked potatoes. You can also blend nutritional yeast into smoothies or use it as an ingredient in sauces, soups, salad dressings, homemade crackers, biscuits, and even desserts, like vegan cheesecake.
You can find nutritional yeast online at Amazon, Target, and Walmart, and at your local health food store, Whole Foods, and some mainstream supermarkets. A 4.5 ounce jar, which contains 12 servings, costs about $6, which is a good value given its many uses and the nutrients it provides— and it’s fun to experiment with!

Day 10: Something You're afraid of
Well, since I've already gone into depth about the paranormal stuff, I've decided to make a list of things I'm afraid of. I also realize it's quite sad to have enough fears to even make a list, but that's just me - scaredy pants.
1. FAILURE: I often have nightmares about this one. As I have also mentioned before, I am a complete perfectionist and if I don't live up to my (most often, unattainable) standards, I freak out. If I make a mistake, I usually cry and dwell on it for at least 2 weeks. Wow. Are you sure you want to continue reading all this?
2. Something tragic happening to someone I love: Is it normal to think the worst when someone is late getting home? Its sad really, but I end up imagining all these worst case scenarios when Adam isn't home when he says he's going to be home. And don't even get me started on Maggie Claire. After all the horrible things in the news and movies, this kid will be lucky if she's EVER allowed out of the house.
3. Spiders: I was bitten by a spider people. And I don't mean I woke up one morning and had a red place on my arm. I woke up one morning and had a gigantic welp on my cheek which continued to swell and was SOOO painful. They first told me it was a brown recluse - oh yes, I freaked. I was instantly swarmed with images of my face rotting off like some horrible Steven King movie. We drove to Vanderbilt for a second opinion. Thankfully not a brown recluse, but they weren't sure what kind of spider it was. I won't go into details about the ordeal, but needless to say- no spiders for me, thank you.
4. Any insects that jump or fly (i.e., crickets, grasshoppers, dragonflies, etc): You can't escape them. You move, they move - and land on you. Its unnatural.
5. Under the bed: Yes, I still get scared of something reaching out and grabbing me from under the bed. I back away and stare at my feet when I change the sheets.
6. Swimming in lakes, rivers, oceans where I can't see through the water: Now, this fear only applies to being in the water alone. If I am swimming with other people, I am usually ok. Not sure why. I guess if I'm in a group, I've got other people who could get eaten first- in turn giving me adequate time to make my escape. Nice, I know.
7. Putting my hand in the garbage disposal: Anyone else get REALLY paranoid while doing this? Quite often MC's bottle tops will fall down in there. I can just see the retarded thing malfunctioning and turning on the moment I stick my hand in there to retrieve it.
8. The Dark: Yes. I am still afraid of the dark. We have nightlights in almost every room in the house (In attempts to not seem like a 5 year old child, several of them are air fresheners... Its a lot easier to seem normal to your husband when you plug in a light up air freshener for the sake of smelliness than plugging in a huge light bulb while explaing that his 26 year old wife can't be alone in a dark room because SOMETHING will get her)
9. People don't like me: Yup. I guess this goes back to my perfectionistic attitude. I pretty much always assume people don't like me.
10. Squirrels: I was also bitten by a squirrel. I feel like Matthew McConaughey in "Failure To Launch" - nature rejects me.
I think I have let you in on quite enough of my crazed mind. Now I am going to go wrap up in a blanket and enjoy a good book - in a well lit room, away from all beds, spiders, bodies of water, insects, garbage disposals, and squirrels :)

Let’s Chat Pt.2 – RBC Cardinal Health, ThoughtSpot 2023, DIR Fees, and ERTC
In this episode of the Bottom Line Pharmacy Podcast, our hosts Scotty, Kendell, and Bonnie take you on a journey through the final leg of their tradeshow travels. Join them as they recount their experiences at Cardinal RBC in Boston, #ThoughSpot Amerisource 2023 in Vegas, travel bloopers, DIR fees, and insights into cash flow control.
If you prefer to read this content, the video transcript is below.
Scotty: All right, everybody, welcome to another episode of the Sykes Bottom Line Pharmacy Podcast. And today is the middle of July, and it’s hotter than Hades out there. Bonnie’s got her bathing suit on just about over there.
Bonnie: It’s hot.
Scotty: It’s brutal.
Bonnie: But you just got back from Cardinal?
Scotty: I did.
Bonnie: How’d that go?
Scotty: Good. We had about 240 in the class.
Kendell: Oh, man.
Scotty: Talked about DIR fees.
Bonnie: That is the topic.
Scotty: That is the topic.
Kendell: What’s the top question on DIR fees people have right now? Is there one, a reoccurring one?
Scotty: No, there’s not. My main thing for everybody in the class was your fundamental accounting. So, it’s all going to start there. I mean, if you’re trying to prepare for DIR fees, you got to have your fundamentals in place, and then you can use your accounting to help you plan and prepare. So, I toldfolks, step one, get your fundamentals in order. And what that looks like is you take your balance sheet at the end of last year and you literally go line by line that balance sheet and you be able to support each line item on that balance sheet with a workpaper or something. And be confident in those numbers, especially your equity section, because if that’s not tied down, that typically means you have two sets of books compared to your tax return and what your CPA is doing. So, the fundamentals is just a huge piece of that. And a lot of times we see inventory not being adjusted. Every year it’s the same number. No receivables or payables has a bunch of old stuff in there. There’s duplicate checks in the bank account. So, the fundamentals are all out of whack. And if that’s happening, you can’t really rely on your accounting to help you plan and prepare for 2024 DIR fee unknown. So those fundamentals, first step, you got to have it.
Bonnie: Yeah, I know we talk about that, but it really goes back to the basics of that indefinitely. Every line on the balance sheet is important, but inventory and the receivables drive that P&L, your gross profit. And if those are off and not correct, and we have to go as far away even with our clients right now to explain to even if you have a third-party reconciliation service in place, there’s still a lot that you have to do with that. So, you’ve got to go a step beyond that and look at your reports and make sure that they make sense and they’re correct and that you’re checking off those claims. Because if you’re using the number on your report but your report is bad and you’ve got a lot in that over 90-day column, then your receivables are off and then your financials are off.
Scotty: There’s a lot of data. There’s a lot of data in that third-party reconciliation system. So, it’s not just for getting your receivables and your DIR fees because that’s where you’re getting that information from, but there’s a whole host of information in there. I mean, you know who’s paying you when they’re paying you what’s not being paid?
Kendell: Yeah, a lot of times there’s different fees and things like that. DIR fees and then there’s additional fees on top of DIR fees that you kind of got to take a deep dive in if you want to know what’s going on at the granular level.
Scotty: But I’d say the environment was just kind of tense. People are not sure what’s going to happen. Nobody knows. So, you just got to plan and prepare best you can. And one thing I did mention is which kind of gets not talked about is owner draws and distributions. So, monies the owners are taking out of the pharmacy. You’re going to have to be mindful of that going into the end of the year. Taxes is obviously a big part of that because that does not show on your P&L, profit, and loss. Those are balance sheet items. So be mindful of that in addition to the debt you’re paying because principal on debt is also not an expense on the P&L. It all goes into the cash flow cycle in your pharmacy and how cash moves in your pharmacy. And again, they got to have the fundamentals to do it.
Kendell: And that’s one thing that I feel like everybody knows is important, but people are afraid to talk about a little bit is cash. Just how much cash is enough and how much is too little. Because if you think about it, the inventory, and the receivables, those are moving pieces that a lot of people have no handle on. But you can just pull up your phone quickly and you know exactly how much cash you have. Now you know how much you have. But the question is do you have enough? Do you have too much?
Scotty: Never enough.
Kendell: Or do you have too little? Think about it.
Bonnie: Yeah, everybody’s appetite is different for what…
Kendell: For what they can have.
Bonnie: Yeah, but I know I have some clients that are concerned about the timing so you’ve got all this going on in the first quarter, get taxes that will be due in first quarter, personal estimates for the next year. But also, we’ve had a lot of clients under the cash basis that have been doing a lot of prepayments to get expenses to bring down taxes for that current year. And their concern is, am I going to be able to afford to do that and have the cash to do that with everything coming first quarter?
Kendell: Yeah, that’s a good question.
Bonnie: Do we need to save it? But then I’m going to have more tax due.
Kendell: Can I tee y’all up a question real quick? I’m going to tee this one up. Y’all can hit it out the park. How does current debt, like your amount of current debt, impact the amount of cash a pharmacy should be thinking they need to have coming into this DIR fee first quarter situation? How do you think that would impact the cash flow that they need?
Scotty: Well, I would say you need to be looking at that current ratio, that’s, that key performance indicator on your balance sheet for liquidity and cash flow. And that’s going to take into consideration that current debt, getting that current ratio, historically, it’s been around two and a half to one for a pharmacy, but you’re going to want to get that up to three, maybe even higher than that. Going into the end of the year is probably a wise thing to do. But also having some kind of idea of what we don’t know what’s going to happen. But having some number or estimate you can work off of I think is important too. So, we’ve got some clients who will take the trimester DIR Fees January through May of 2023. And they’re going to multiply those by two and a half. Add them up, multiply them by two and a half, and say, this is kind of the impact I’m going to see next March, April, when it’s expected, everything’s going to hit. So that should give you a good idea, I reckon, of a number to shoot for. So, we’re seeing some pharmacies do that. And also, the third-party reconciliation systems have some estimators in there as well.
Bonnie: And it just makes it hard to estimate when you’re talking about debt. So many of our clients have SBA loans with adjustable rates, which are great when rates are going down, but with them going up, payments are up, but that’s just another thing.
Kendell: Yeah. So, a client that has like, for example, they’re paying monthly on their wholesaler bill, so their accounts payable is very large and then they may be a newer pharmacy that has a lot of outstanding debt from the purchase. So, in the next year, the current portion of those purchases is going to be pretty heavy too, which doesn’t factor in on the P&L because principal payments, they might need to have a little bit more of a cushion than a mom and pop who’s third generation pharmacy owner who doesn’t owe anybody anything. And there’s no current debt on the books.
Scotty: You mentioned prepay earlier, and inventory does not count for prepay. Inventory is inventory.
Bonnie: Operating expenses. Yeah, we have people that go ahead and pay rent for the year that are on cash basis in December. Go ahead and get that deduction, those sorts of things.
Scotty: It is a good question because are you going to prepay the whole year? Are you going to prepay the first three, four months while you’re trying to deal with…
Bonnie: It’s a lot of moving pieces.
Scotty: So, it should be interesting.
Bonnie: Makes it fun for us for tax planning, too.
Scotty: Got to love tax. Check this out. On my coffee machine, there’s this bold button, and I’ve never hit it before. So, I made my normal coffee, and then I hit the bold button. I’m telling you, caffeine doesn’t really get me, but this thing like, got you.
Kendell: You’re awake now. Got some nitrous oxide. It looks like you just hit the nitro button.
Scotty: It’s almost like one of those…
Kendell: Fast and the furious.
Scotty: … caffeine jittery. I don’t really like it.
Bonnie: What did it do? What did it add?
Scotty: I don’t know Kendell’s the expresso man.
Kendell: I don’t know about this. I haven’t even gotten my coffee, so I didn’t want to be screaming into the mic. So, I’m getting my coffee after the…
Scotty: Oh, man.
Kendell: podcast session.
Scotty: Got to have coffee.
Kendell: And then no, we had some good, nice photos. You guys were looking good on the trade show floor. The highlight was the one of Ollin and he had this gesture, like, we posted it, and hopefully, did Ollin get upset? Did he see that it was posted? I didn’t know how he would feel.
Scotty: He didn’t make any comments about it.
Kendell: He didn’t make any comments.
Scotty: I don’t think he was too flattered by it.
Bonnie: I’ve seen that look many times.
Kendell: He’s like, I don’t know. What are you doing?
Scotty: But it was in this especially when you’re traveling. You’ll see that all the time when you’re traveling with him.
Kendell: Yeah. Do you remember what that was in context of? Or is it like…
Scotty: I have no idea.©© Sykes & Company, P. A.
Kendell: We’ll have to make following captions for it.
Scotty: I have no idea.
Kendell: Yeah, if you ever seen it, have.
Bonnie: If you’ve ever seen it, we should have everybody submit…
Scotty: It’s a meme.
Bonnie: a caption
Scotty: It’s a total meme.
Bonnie: And pick the best one.
Kendell: Yeah, definitely check out our social media. I think that was on our Facebook page. I got the biggest compliment, and my heart hurt the hardest at the same time. So, we had a client who called and was like, what’s going on with the DIR fees? You got any advice? So, I said, yeah, and I sent them the podcast we’ve done on DIR fees. And I was like, let me know. We can talk about it in detail after you get a chance to watch it. So, she replies back, “Great information!!! Looking forward to listening to future podcasts.” So, at that point, I’m on cloud nine. I’m like, okay, we’re doing something, we’re touching some hearts, we’re moving people. The next sentence, “I didn’t know y’all did this.” My heart hurt at that moment.
Scotty: We’ve sent some emails out about it.
Kendell: I think so. We’ve got to send some more soon though. But no, it tells you that people are listening and yeah, it’s answering questions too. So, I got to give a big shout-out to you guys and all our guests who’ve come and kind of shared some good knowledge. It’s impactful, people are listening. Did you hear any people on the trade show floor mention?
Scotty: Yeah, we got a few people that mentioned and always ask subscribe if you don’t know about our podcast. So, we got a few hits out there. Come up to the booth. “Hey, I’ve been listening to y’all’sstuff.”
Kendell: So, we need anybody listening to this one. We want to make sure it stays relevant. So definitely whatever platform you’re using, put a comment in there, let us know exactly what you want to hear and talk about next, and we’ll do it. We’ll put it on the list for sure.
Scotty: Yes, we will. We ain’t scared of nothing.
Bonnie: Because right now the topics are DIR fees and ERTC.
Scotty: Is that your cue to switch into your favorite topic?
Bonnie: Well, why not? Have you had any updates, Scotty?
Scotty: Well, as a matter of fact I have.
Kendell: Reporting live from Edenton.
Bonnie: Also, this is prerecorded so this could have changed by the time it’s live.
Scotty: When we did do our talk, ERTC was a few questions. We did get a few questions on that. My go to answer is I’m not going to tell you, you don’t qualify, but and even though dad told everybody, they don’t.
Kendell: He said, I’m not going to tell you, Dad will.
Scotty: And I told him that in the show while we were talking. It was funny anyway.
Bonnie: Maybe that’s what he was doing, he’s like “You don’t qualify”.
Kendell: Yeah, he’s like, “How in the world do you think you qualify?”
Scotty: It’s not that you don’t qualify. It’s like if you do qualify, what you have to do to show you qualify is extensive. It’s not the check the box and then just attach a government order and this and that. You have to show that nominal impact and with quantifiable numbers and things like that, which I have yet to see any third-party produce. So that’s why I say it’s very hard to qualify or to make yourself eligible there.
Bonnie: You have to be careful with that too because I’ve had a client recently to send me the paperwork before they signed it. They’re like, they used a third-party and they’re like, they gave us they sent it to me, the attachment, this is the paperwork they gave me that’s proving that we qualify. And they were like, yay, we qualify, and we look at it and it is not, so even if somebody tells you this is attachment proves that you qualify. What is that?
Kendell: And I think in some industries, maybe that’s one thing I always emphasize, maybe it was as easy as some of these third parties are exclaiming it to be in some industries. Meaning if you owned a restaurant, your restaurant was closed for several months. Yeah, definitely. Let’s slap that government on it, order on there and write out the details and do it. It’s going to be quantifiable too because you had no income for several months. But specifically for the pharmacy industry, I mean, the restaurant didn’t get revenue. The pharmacies had their best years and it’s just that this particular industry didn’t have that impact that other industries had.
Scotty: So that’s why it’s harder to qualify yourself.
Kendell: As a pharmacy.
Scotty: The supply chain disruption qualifier really took a hit this past week. With the IRS issuing this memorandum here, eight-page memorandum from their legal counsel there, and they pretty much say the supply chain was never in the statute. And that it’s going to be very rare to claim a supply chain disruption. So, if you’re leaning on the supply chain disruption, you might want to read this memorandum that just came out, AM 2023-005, release date 7/21/2023. And that’ll give you some insight on what to expect with the supply chain disruption and what’s needed there. Because if you’re going to go with that route, you got to go and argue why the supplier had a disruption. So, you have to pull the orders they’re under, pull the issues they face. So, you have to do pretty much an ERTC study on the supplier and then roll it into how it impacted you. So, it’s crazy.
Kendell: I’ve never seen this many updates and changes from the IRS and memos on one topic in such a short span. It basically says, hey, we know a lot of people are not doing this right. And this has gotten our eyes, obviously got the attention of the IRS. It’s every few weeks they’re releasing something new.
Scotty: So, you just want to be careful, do your due diligence. But if you did have the drop in gross receipts and you meet that test, then I would certainly be looking at the ERTC because that is a clear-cut black and white test.
Bonnie: But that’s about 1% of what we’ve seen, clients, pharmacy clients.
Bonnie: With a drop.
Scotty: So that ERTC continues to unfold. I imagine that might just have to be like a permanent topic.
Bonnie: This could be forever.
Scotty: It can be the court cases coming, it’d be nice and juicy getting into those.
Bonnie: We’ll be amending tax returns.
Scotty: I don’t know, man.
Bonnie: Four years from now.
Scotty: You can’t amend a return that far.
Bonnie: That’s true.
Scotty: So just be careful. Just be careful out there. Know what you’re doing. Know what you’re signing.
Bonnie: It’s the wild wild west.
Scotty: What else we got?
Bonnie: I mean, that’s basically the only two topics.
Kendell: Those are the big ones right now. And then obviously we’re about to start ramping up tax planning and things like that. We’ll start ramping that up a little bit.
Scotty: We do have some, during the summer lull here of our podcast, in between all the travel, we are looking at booking some new, exciting guests, in the fall.
Bonnie: We’ve got some really good ones.
Scotty: Hopefully, get NCPA, maybe Doug on here, or maybe link up with Pioneer, hopefully on one of these, 340B. Let’s see, what else? All kinds of stuff. So, we’re working on that in the background. Maybe even have the big man himself, the Big O, and do another travel blooper.
Kendell: Yeah, we definitely got to get Big O on, Big O.
Scotty: I’m trying to think of any travel bloopers. I don’t really have any.
Kendell: Y’all were packed. Y’all were so busy. Didn’t have time to make any film.
Scotty: I do have one funny story. I guess it’s kind of funny. So, we went out to eat at Cardinal somewhere in downtown Boston. And I was like, it’s a mile away. I’m going to walk. I’m not going to sit in the traffic for 20 minutes. So, I walked. But dad wanted me to go ahead and reserve the Uber for like, 5:15. So I had the phone. I reserved the Uber, and I was like, well, I’m going to cancel it because I’m going to walk. Blah, blah. He’s like, no, don’t do that. Don’t do that.
Bonnie: We’re not going to get one. There’s no more.
Scotty: I didn’t argue with him. I was like, fine. So, I’m sitting there in front of the restaurant just waiting, relaxing for a minute, and I get the message from the Uber guy.
Bonnie: He’s following you.
Scotty: I’m here, and it’s 5:00, not 5:15.
Kendell: Oh, wow.
Scotty: Dad, Megan, they’re all up in their hotel rooms. I texted the whole group and was like, hey, the Uber is there at 5:00. And then I didn’t hear anything. Yeah, then they get to the restaurant. They make it to the restaurant. And Megan, later that next day, she’s like, oh, my gosh. You have no idea. He was knocking on our doors. He was running down the elevator, running to get into the cab. The cab’s going to leave. He’s going to leave. He’s going to leave. So, he was freaking out.
Bonnie: Those are good times.
Scotty: I was like, I know all about that.
Scotty: Meanwhile, I’m just sitting on my bench just relaxing. No stress.
Bonnie: Yeah. And you walked.
Scotty: And I walked.
Bonnie: So, what you learned from this is you get your own Uber with your own phone when you’re ready. When the group is ready. Listen, one day we’ll need a whole separate episode to go through my favorite Ollin travel blooper when he had to call up security to check on me in my room on a Saturday morning.
Kendell: Yeah, we got to do that one.
Bonnie: I had ten people at my door.
Scotty: Oh, he almost did that on this trip. Caroline, we had to tell him, like, hey, you know.
Bonnie: That was my favorite.
Scotty: Yeah, he texted Caroline. We’re sitting at breakfast. Where is she? She’s not here.
Bonnie: I would just say I had 3 hours before I had to be somewhere. And it was a Saturday morning, and I had my phone on silent. And apparently, after he texted me a few times, he expected the worst, so he sent up a well check.
Kendell: I missed a teams meeting one time and I had a wellness check.
Bonnie: Get somebody from your town to go check on you. He cares. It’s important.
Kendell: Yeah, we love that guy. Love him.
Scotty: He wouldn’t check on me. He’d be like, whatever. If I don’t show up at the tradeshow, he’d be like whatever.
Bonnie: I think that might have happened. You’ve been late to the tradeshow before. And he was like ugh. Years ago. He didn’t care. He’ll be here.
Kendell: I’m about to cut my phone off silent right now just in case.
Bonnie: You better answer.
Kendell: I will keep my ringer on.
Bonnie: We also could talk about another time you know my favorite, Ollin’s phone got crushed. Got run over at a gas station right before the last tradeshow. That was exciting. We were leaving, like, on Monday morning, and this happened on a Sunday. He was in a complete panic. He was not going to have time to get his phone before he left.
Scotty: But he got it.
Bonnie: Unless he sat in a Verizon store, which nobody does that anymore. So, he spent his Sunday in a Verizon store. But the best part was he kept complaining about the idiot who ran over his phone. And I was like, how is it somebody else’s fault if somebody runs over your phone? And finally, while we were at the tradeshow and he had his new phone and everything was fine, he explained to us that he thinks he could have been the one that ran over it. I was like what is happening?
Scotty: He pretty much told me he did it.
Kendell: His Tesla probably recorded it.
Bonnie: Why were you at the gas station if you have a Tesla? And how did you run over your own phone? But those are the things we’re dealing with here, real life topics.
Scotty: That’s what keeps us going.
Bonnie: Well, you leave for Amerisource soon. Kendell and I will not be there.
Scotty: Should be good.
Bonnie: Then NCPA coming up in October along with another ownership workshop opportunity for anyone who’s looking to do that ahead of the show.
Bonnie: So, they’re definitely taking registration for that. I saw that the other day, promoting that.
Scotty: And let’s go ahead and plug because when we go to the NCPA, we go ham on podcast, video, marketing, interviews.
Kendell: Stop by the booth, please.
Scotty: Because Kendell’s going to be in action.
Bonnie: Kendell’s going to be there. We’re all going to be there.
Scotty: So, if you want to get a guest appearance or something like that, that’s where you want to be. Come on.
Bonnie: We need to go ahead so that we are accountable. And I’m going to go ahead and say it right here live today, so we can’t go back.
Kendell: I’m scared. I’m scared.
Bonnie: We’re going live. We’re going to do a live podcast at NCPA.
Scotty: Let’s do it.
Bonnie: We need to do it on the tradeshow floor. We’re doing it.
Kendell: Yeah, we need to do it. iPhone 14, a little microphone. We can make it happen.
Bonnie: We do have some old stuff from like a year ago that we could re-release.
Kendell: Listen, you give me the green light. We’ll have that ready in no time.
Bonnie: I mean, I don’t hate it.
Scotty: Well, I guess we have some tax returns and financial statements to look over.
Scotty: So better get back at it.
Bonnie: I need to read that IRS notice.
Scotty: No, you really don’t. It just says, you know if you’re going for supply chain disruption, forget about it.
Bonnie: Forget about it.
Kendell: So, the bottom line. That’s the bottom line right there.
Scotty: The bottom line. Yes, that’s the bottom line. And come see us at one of the tradeshows.
Bonnie: Absolutely. And if you’re interested in an assessment. Talking about going back to fundamental accounting. You want us to look at what you’ve got? We’ve got a service for that too on our website.
Scotty: One-time service.
Bonnie: One-time service.
Scotty: One shot.
Bonnie: Kind of, a checkup to see how things are going.
Scotty: Yes. All right, everybody. We appreciate you listening in, and we will see you on another episode of The Bottom Line Pharmacy Podcast.
Kendell: And that’s the bottom line.
Bonnie: And that’s the bottom line. Bye.

Coordination between each stage of your home or property renovation project is more streamlined with professionals. If you're a homeowner or landlord who wants to renovate or remodel your home, explore the benefits of architects for renovations.
What are renovations and remodels?
Renovations involve renewing your house by repairing your existing space and adding new pieces to the design. You may also decide to remodel your house instead, which involves changing the functional use of part of your home. Explore the differences between a renovation and a remodel:
- Complexity: A renovation updates your home's appearance, but a remodel changes a room or area's function. A remodeling project is more complex than a renovation.
- Cost: Renovations usually cost less money than remodels because they're more straightforward. When you add plumbing or change the layout of your home in a remodel, you'll also need permits.
- Time: Renovating your home features a few adjustments, but remodeling will take much more time. Most of these projects take several months.
- Customization options: When redesigning your home, you have plenty of customization options to make it look how you want. If you change the structure of your home, you'll have more layout and material choices.
Should I hire an architect for a remodel?
Hiring an architect for a remodel or a renovation is a good idea for the following reasons:
1. Architects can see the big picture
An architect has the experience to figure out what type of design will work for your new home. They create a detailed plan based on what you want while considering your property's existing structure. Besides seeing the big picture, they also see the little details in every step.
After you meet with an architect to discuss how you want your home to look, they'll provide a set of schematic drawings. It's vital to work with an architect who understands your vision and knows how to bring it to life.
2. Architects are familiar with local building codes
An architect understands building codes to design your home safely and efficiently. These regulations usually involve your plumbing, framing, and electricity. You could run into issues selling your house or even working on your house if it's not compliant with local building codes.
Part of the architect's responsibility is to design the renovation or remodeling project to satisfy structural demands and building safety codes. An experienced architect knows how to balance structural integrity and visual appeal when planning your renovation.
3. Architects work with other construction professionals
Since your architect can see the big picture and knows what's best for your property, they can work with the contractor and workers during construction. Architects can meet with heating, ventilating, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals, as well as plumbers or structural engineers, to go over your design so everyone is on the same page.
An architect knows how to speak a contractor's language to communicate what you want into what the contractor has to do. If any problems arise during construction, the architect can refer to their drawings to find a solution without cutting corners.
4. Architects can oversee your renovation or remodeling project
Once you and the architect figure out a design that works for your property, you're in control of how involved the architect is with construction. You can hire the architect to design the schematics, or you can work with them as they hire subcontractors and create a work schedule for everyone to follow.
If you work with a design-build company, they will have architects and subcontractors on hand so you don't have to hire more than one company for your home renovation or remodel.
5. Architects Can Save You Money
Even though it costs money to hire an architect, these professionals are an excellent investment in the long run for the following reasons:
- Flexibility: When you have an efficient design in place, you can easily change the plan if problems arise. Having a thorough drawing of your renovation or remodeling project can give you an accurate picture of what your ideas will cost so you can budget accordingly.
- Energy efficiency: A reliable architect will use high-quality, energy-efficient materials to help you save money on your energy bills. They can also design your home to use less energy by letting in natural light, regulating the temperature or updating your outdated plumbing and electrical systems.
- Durability: Since a reliable architect uses long-lasting products, you can save money on future renovations. Architects usually know the best types of paint, roofing materials, flooring, and other building materials to use for your redesign.
- Resale value: When you design your home with professional help, you can expect your property value to increase. Whether you want to sell your house or build equity, hiring an architect yields a high return on investment.
Why should I hire a contractor and an architect?
When you choose to do a renovation project, you might only think of hiring a contractor. While a contractor can do smaller tasks like replacing the tile in your bathroom, you should hire an architect to design any structural changes you'd like to make.
The benefits of hiring an architect alongside a contractor include:
- Working with you to suit your needs and follow local building codes
- Seeing the big picture and executing a better design
- Avoiding possible design errors
- Solving problems creatively and making the project more cost-effective
An architect draws your plans, and your contractor brings them to life. Instead of developing a design for your home on your own. Consider consulting a design-build company that's an expert in both architecture and contracting to help you save time and money.
Why should I hire an interior designer and an architect?
Along with a contractor, you may want to hire an interior designer with your architect to help put your ideas down on paper. Explore some of the reasons why hiring an interior designer can help you on your home renovation or remodeling project:
- Save money: An interior designer can help you avoid costly mistakes, such as buying the wrong-sized furniture or painting your room the wrong color. They'll also work within your budget to help you get the best design possible.
- Save time: An interior designer can help you save time by anticipating any obstacles that may come up and give you a realistic timeline of when your project can get done.
- Get professional help: Since an interior designer is a professional in the industry, they have the experience and expertise to know what to do in every situation. You might miss some minor details, but they know what to look for and can help you get the best design possible.
- Produce eye-catching results: Interior designers have natural and experienced creativity to bring all the colors and elements of your design together into one cohesive look.

Gushue revamps rink
When 2006 Olympic champion Brad Gushue steps on the ice at the Paris Curling Club at 11:30 this morning to compete in the Sun Life Financial Invitational Classic, he looks at the game as just another step in the construction of his team.
Gushue and third Mark Nichols -- they've been joined at the hip forever -- have a new front end this season -- sort of.
Ryan Fry, who played third for Manitoba star Jeff Stoughton last season, has joined the Gushue foursome at the second position. Jamie Korab, a member of Gushue's Olympic squad but cut from the team in 2007, has returned to the team as lead.
Gushue's front end last season consisted of lead Dave Noftall and second Chris Schille. Gushue knew they had to be replaced but not because they're poor curlers.
"They're better than what they played last year," Gushue said Thursday night after tossing practice stones at the Brantford Golf and Country Club where a couple of games kicked off the Sun Life, an event which has brought 32 men's and 32 women's teams to Brant County to compete for $97,000 in prize money.
"Part of it was their fault and part of it was my fault and Mark's fault. We didn't bring out the best in them."
The Chinese national team, skipped by Fengchun Wang from Harbin, China, defeated Jason Young's rink from Brantford 6-4 in the opening game of the men's draw.
Wang made a double in the eighth end to earn the victory.
The other players on Wang's team are third Rui Liu, second Xiao Ming Xu and lead Jialiang Zang.
Young's team, sponsored by Sun Life Financial, consists of third Chad Allen, second Tyler Morgan and lead Jay Allen.
The women's draw shifted into gear when Julie Reddick's Brantford rink edged Suzanne Beaudreault from Port Elgin 6-4.
Reddick drew the full button with her final shot to gain the victory.
Reddick's rink is composed by third Jo-Ann Rizzo, second Leigh Armstrong and lead Stephanie Leachman.
MOVED TO ST. JOHN'S
Fry moved to St. John's, N. L., last May so he could start practising with his new team.
Korab simply rededicated himself to the game.
"People, after watching us in the first couple of events, believe that we've made a good move and have a good rink," said Gushue, who won the world junior title in 2001.
"Our foundation is pretty solid but you have to play in big games to understand how people are going to play in big games. We're still learning that."
Gushue has been impressed by Korab's work ethic.
"I think the commitment is back now," Gushue said.
"He's put a lot of work in off the ice. He's rededicated himself."
Gushue believes that his team's dedication level has to be higher leading to the 2010 Olympic trials than what it was prior to the 2006 Olympics.
"When you're a national champion, a world champion or an Olympic champion, you're not going to sneak in any back doors," Gushue said.
"People are going to come out gunning for you. People have that mind-set and they're extra motivated."
Gushue calls Glenn Howard's rink from Coldwater the "best team in the world right now."
"They're beatable but you're going to have to play very well to beat them," Gushue said.
"They don't give any games away. They make you work for it and that's the difference between them and everyone else right now."
Gushue is playing his first-round match against Christopher Plys of Duluth, Minn. If he wins, he'll be back on the ice today at 5:30 p. m. at the Brant Curling Club.
Howard opens at 9 o'clock this morning at the Brant Curling Club against Darcy Garbedian of the BGCC.
If Howard manages to eke out a victory, he'll play a second-round match at the BCC today at 3 p. m.

Containment is easier for Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR)February 12, 2013
Check this picture out. It is a crane lifting a 40 meter wide, 4.5 cm thick dome for the top of a nuclear reactor containment building under construction in China. The containment building is extraordinarily massive, the dome alone weighs 655 tonnes (1.4 million pounds).
Believe it on not, the containment building’s purpose is to capture a steam explosion.
Water boils at 100°C at one atmosphere of pressure, but the boiling temperature goes up at higher pressures. For example, the water in your car radiator will go to higher than 100°C without boiling because the radiator is pressurized to about 2 atmospheres when the car is warmed up. What happens if the pressure is suddenly released by a puncture or someone foolishly removing the radiator cap? See the video below for a steam explosion…
Carnot engine efficiency increases with increasing temperature, so there is a great advantage to running a nuclear reactor (or any heat engine) at high temperatures, which requires very high pressures to keep the reactor’s water from completely boiling. Conventional boiling water reactors and pressurized water reactors operate at around 70 atmospheres and 160 atmospheres to achieve temperatures of 285°C and 315°C respectively. If water escapes from the reactor for any reason it will instantly expand to about 1600 times its liquid volume as it explodes into steam. The containment building is supposed to capture that exploding steam. It is so massive because it must restrain the steam under great pressure without exploding itself.
But this type of massive containment building would not be necessary for a Liquid fluoride Thorium Reactor (LFTR)! This type of reactor concept does not use water to transfer heat away from solid pieces of fissioning metals. Instead, thorium is dissolved in liquid fluoride salts, where it is converted to uranium233, which fissions and generates heat. One of the beauties of the LFTR is that the liquid fluoride salts can go to incredible temperatures before they boil – temperatures vastly exceeding the operating temperature of the reactor. Consequently, the reactor operates at atmospheric pressure – no high pressure needed. In the event of a liquid leak there would be no explosive effect like the water instantly boiling into steam in a conventional reactor.
The LFTR would operate at around 700°C, reaching a much higher carnot efficiency than boiling water reactors or pressurized water reactors. Yet the fluid medium of the LFTR would not boil until reaching the extraordinary temperature of about 1400°C.

Selling Things Online – Close 5 App To Make It Easier
**Their site has been hard to connect to or down a lot lately. Not sure if they are just having growing pains or they are just not strong enough to compete and close to going out of business. I will keep an eye on it.
The Close 5 App states… “List easily. Sell it safer.” This is the motto of the newest trending marketplace website Close5. Ok, so it’s no secret there are plenty of similar sites and apps that are popping up everywhere. However, they all have a different trademark and Close 5’s appears to be safe. The Close 5 app allows you to meet with potential buyers and sellers within a five-mile radius of your home. Let’s explore what makes Close5 worth your time to sell and earn some side cash or to find great deals. (See this big list of places to sell clothes online!)
First I need to mention that Close5 is only available in a limited number of cities — right now (they’ve added many just recently, so look for more to come!). This company has found a way to bring all the perks of a yard sale to the online world without all the complications. It also eliminates meeting questionable characters like you might find on other sites like Craigslist because they provide public profiles of customers so you know exactly who you are dealing with. Keep in mind it is always a good idea to meet in a public place during the day.
How to Get Started Using Close 5
Before jumping into the Close5 group, download the free app on your smartphone. Next, you can easily create an account or opt to sign in through Facebook. This is a great idea to see friends who are already in the Close5 community. The application will walk you through the process of setting up your profile and answer all your questions. (You might also want to check out my post, Turn Your Clutter Into Cash With Letgo for another way to sell your unused stuff!)
Make Your First Sell
Once your profile is in place you are ready to start selling immediately. Just snap a picture with the camera provided by the app and your items are listed. They don’t require a price or a description. Easy as that! (See this great list of apps to make money and save money!)
If you are using Close5 to buy items, then you walk through the same process. Create a profile and then start browsing the merchandise. When you find something you want to buy, because there are no listed prices, you begin to negotiate directly with the seller. All messages are through a private messaging system so nothing personal will be disclosed.
If you are a seller, then you simply look through the potential buyers and pick the one you want to sell your item to.
Worth the Time or Waste of Effort?
Close5 in my opinion is a super convenient way to sell old and gently used items straight from your phone. If you are looking to earn extra money without having the hassle of shipping or returning merchandise this site is a great choice. It really does simplify the process.We all have unwanted stuff. Why not clear it out and make a buck too?Click To Tweet
One huge advantage with Close5 is that you are able to see exactly who you are dealing with before choosing a buyer or a seller. It limits you to an easy 5-mile radius. We’ve all done it, gotten on a yard sale site or craigslist and negotiated the perfect price only to find they live 2 hours away…deal breaker! Close5 ensures that will not happen.
Overall, Close5 seems to have it right, other than they only provide services to a very small area at this time. Look for that to change and then jump in and start earning extra money.
Check Out Close5

Welcome To Better World Energy
Better World Energy is dedicated to reducing America’s greenhouse gas emissions by providing conservation tips and affordable renewable energy. We want to be your source for grid based renewable energy.
Better World Energy Offers…
- Carbon Offsets For The Home
Your house uses electricity and fuel that create hefty amounts of greenhouse gases. Sleep better at night and purchase renewable energy credits equivalent the CO2 emissions associated with your home.
- More Carbon Offsets
Energy generated for your vehicle, website, wedding, business, and airplane travel all produce harmful carbon dioxide emissions. See how much CO2 you are responsible for and offset your share by supporting renewable energy sources.
- Energy Conservation Tips
Shrink your carbon footprint by conserving electricity and reducing your usage of fossil fuels.
Tip #1: Switch to compact fluorescent lights. They produce the same amount of light as incandescent bulbs and use a quarter of the electricity!
More About Better World Energy
Better World Energy promises to provide affordable carbon offsets at competitive prices. We believe that all carbon offsets are not created equal, and strive to offer you a carbon offset with the greatest impact. Better World Energy only purchases renewable energy certificates from zero emissions generators such as wind farms or low impact hydro facilities. By doing so, we believe we can maximize the impact of your purchase, through measurable reductions in greenhouse gases. Carbon offsets steer America away from electricity generated by fossil fuels toward energy from renewable sources. We offer several convenient ways to shrink your carbon footprint by offsetting the emissions created by your home, vehicle, airplane travel, business, or event.
When you purchase a carbon offset, you are taking responsibility for your environmental impact. You are reducing the greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to global warming and encouraging the growth of the renewable energy industry so that America can become a nation with cleaner air and less dependence on fossil fuels. Buying grid based renewable energy credits is the most cost effective way to reduce emissions.
After you have taken steps to reduce energy consumption, you may want to do more to reduce your environmental impact. Since not everyone can install a solar PV system to generate their own electricity, we provide a simple solution. To cancel out the greenhouse gas emissions created by and for you, we tackle the #1 producers of these harmful emissions — power plants that generate electricity from fossil fuels. Every carbon offset on this website is backed up by a renewable energy certificate that signifies new energy being added to America’s electricity pool from renewable source, like wind, to replace energy from fossil fuels. The vast majority of America’s electricity is still generated from fossil fuels like coal, oil, and natural gas. Better World Energy believes the best way to reduce CO2 emissions is to replace traditional energy regeneration with electricity from clean renewable energy generators. Purchasing credits for grid based renewable energy is a very cost effective way to change our future.
In addition to the warm feeling you will get just knowing you’ve helped made the world a better place, you will receive a certificate of purchase with a unique renewable energy certificate number for the environmental benefits of the megawatt hours of energy generated on your behalf.
Better World Energy is proud to help concerned individuals and business lower their carbon footprint with energy-saving tips and carbon offsets through this website. In addition to individuals, our customers include large institutions such as:
New York Power Authority
The Power Authority of the State of New York (NYPA) is one of the largest public power organization in the US, providing government agencies and institutions in the Empire State with low cost and renewably sourced electricity. NYPA is a leader in promoting the use of renewable energy. We are pleased to work with them to provide renewable energy to their customers.
University At Buffalo(UB), The State University of New York
UB is a premier, research-intensive public university dedicated to academic excellence and a flagship institution of the State University System of New York. The UB Green program has been a leader in promoting sustainability throughout the state.
Solar Powered Office
Better World Energy is offsetting all of our office electric energy use through installed Solar World PV panels with Enphase micro inverters.
Santa Barbara Bowl
Leading by example, Better World Energy helped the Santa Barbara Bowl become a carbon neutral facility in 2012 by donating 233 megawatt-hours of renewable energy certificates. In addition to being an excellent outdoor concert venue, the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable organization, and a community leader in green conservation practices. This donation from Better World Energy is equivalent to the emission reductions of removing 37 vehicles from the road for one year. We are pleased to be able to support such a dynamic venue and organization.

Why am I writing on Comparative Education? After graduating from college, I joined Teach For America and moved to Louisiana to teach first grade for two years. I then moved to Morocco and taught second grade at a private school. With my background in Political Science and History, I became interested in the ways in which culture, politics, language and education overlapped and influenced each other. Following two years in Morocco, I earned my M.A. in International Studies at the University of Oregon.
Currently, I am a Ph.D. candidate. My primary research interests are in Childhood Studies, Immigration, Education History, Multilingual Education, Comparative Education, and Elementary and Secondary Education. I am also working on a large evaluation project in East Africa. My dissertation ideas are currently taking shape, but I am sure that I will continue to share more as I continue on in my program.
I welcome your comments and thoughts. If you have additional articles or ideas to share or would like to contact me, please feel free to do so here. Thank you for reading!

Chiang Mai: Le Meridian
We’ve stayed at a few Le Meridian hotels in Europe since they are part of Starwood. In our experience they are chic-looking with good locations, but their service can vary considerably. As a business-style hotel, they nickel and dime you for everything and that was definitely the case in Chiang Mai.
Though a bit bland with a lot of white, the room was generally pleasant with a good bed. The bathroom has a window to the room that can be closed via blinds above the bathtub.
Our room had a mountain view, which meant we looked west toward the walled city and the mountains. In retrospect this orientation is better than the opposite side of the hotel which had brighter morning light and a view of the sprawling newer city.
the view from the 18th floor
The hotel is about a 10 minute walk to the old city, but right at the foot of the night market, so the location is certainly reasonable. We used Starwood points to pay for most of our stay at this hotel so it was a good option for us; paying the full cash price would not be a great value in our opinion.

This is a build that is always evolving as the needs for the server change. The OS setup and software setup inside the server is very choppy because it is a first attempt at making anything like this so I am more or less forced to make this up as I go along. The server is used for Plex movies and music, personal cloud syncing between my computers (it acts as a central hub since it is on 24/7), as well as a game server for my friends and I running Minecraft, DCS, and Space Engineers but we are also trying to get Assetto Corsa working (something is going wrong with port forwarding). It also runs a simple discord bot for our server.
This build started when I bought a motherboard for my main system off ebay, following the general consensus at the time that Asus was a good brand to go with because of reliability (spoiler alert, they are not), it came with a processor. The processor in the system was the 2620 that is still in the server. My plan was to sell the processor on ebay and use the 1650 that I had bought. While neither processor is technically supported, certain skews trick the board into treating them like a compatible processor. The specific 1650 I was using and the 2620 both do this. After getting the build and adding my processor, I applied an overclock and hopped in GTA to test how well it works. I was in GTA for 5 minutes and the system spontaneously shut down and would pass post but would crash on the windows logo. Disabling two cores, hyper-threading and down-clocking the 1650 to 2.5GHz would allow the system to boot without issue. I was able to confirm with a second 1650 that the processor was not the problem. It seems that the motherboard spontaneously shuts down with any processor trying to use over 75W of power. I put the 2620 back in and it still works no problem. I was able to overclock the 2620 by a 5MHz base clock increase (crashes with anything more) and with Turbo Boost enabled it can peak at just over 2.6 on a single core and 2.4 on all cores.
I hate the 212 EVO as a cooler as I think it is massively overrated and there are often better performing coolers for the same price or equal performing coolers for cheaper. The only reason that I got this one is that it was the cheapest cooler that fit the 2011 socket that wasn't a top down cooler. At the time the top down coolers were the same price but it would have out performed them.
The server has 32GB of RAM because we were expecting Minecraft to use a lot of the RAM but despite giving it access to 16GB of RAM, it barely touches it. DCS on the other hand, chews through it because of an apparent memory leak. We have it set to reset every 7 days, but by that time the leak seems to have stabilized.
The main drive is the 240GB SSD and my only regret is that I did not get a larger capacity as we are currently maxed out on capacity. I put all of the games on the SSD with the OS to make sure that it would not choke when trying to access data. NVME would be better for this but as far as I can tell it is not supported with this motherboard.
The Hitachi HDD is out of a laptop that had a smaller HDD put in (didn't need too much capacity). This HDD is slowly on it's way out and has already re-allocated 5 sectors. The only thing it is really used for is storing the music library that Plex access, personal files that sync between the computers (they are backed up on all machines so not really important on the machine) and less important files that the server uses such as images and reference files.
The WD Blue drive is the main drive used for movies and TV shows, for Plex. If I ever dabble in using this server as a DVR with Plex then I may look into adding a larger drive for movies and what not and using this one as a DVR drive.
The GTX 750 is only really needed by the DCS server since it has no dedicated executable file for running a server. If it did, a lower power GPU would be used. The 750 is the bare minimum for GPU for DCS and we turned down everything since it is not even really necessary. DCS is the program that is causing the GPU usage to swing up and down in MSI afterburner. I'm not sure why it does that really, I was using a 760 for a while and it didn't (possibly because of VRAM?).
The case is recycled from my old build, it's not an outstanding case, but it's good enough. The problem is that the top of the case is open and it seems to be letting a lot of dust into the system. I am going to close off any opening that doesn't have a fan with tape to try and maintain more positive pressure. The system is kept in the basement and is always on so dust from the near by woodshop sometimes makes its way to the system. There are other places to put it, but then overall airflow becomes an issue.
The SeaSonic PSU was purchased new because I was using some sketchy OEM PSU that I had to splice cables into to make it compatible. I'm not in the habit of burning my house down.
The fans are an attempt to keep positive pressure since it is in a rather dusty environment. All the intake fans have dust filters.
We use team viewer to remote into the server to work on it so that we don't need a mouse and keyboard. It allows me to be more flexible with where I put it. The problem is that it defaults to a 4:3 resolution without a monitor so a monitor is needed for a reference size and because DCS does weird things when there is no monitor.

Reasons For Change Within An Organisation Management Essay
Some changes are implemented as a result of problems within organisations, but many Changes come about as a result of organisations proactively seeking business benefits such as reducing costs or improving services. The Change Management process ensures that standardised methods and procedures are used to minimise the impact of changes on quality of service, and improve the day-to-day operations of the organisation. It is important that in implementing changes to an organization that the board of directors and management of the organisation assess risk to the continuity of the organization, resource requirements needed for the change and maintain a proper balance between the need for Change against the impact of the Change. It is particularly important that Change Management processes have high visibility and open channels of communication in order to promote smooth transitions when Changes take place.
It is imperative to get employees to buy into the need for change and the changes themselves. It is very important that all employees be informed about the issue bringing on the need for change, the possible outcomes and the plan for solution. They must also understand their own roles in the process. This will help break down barriers to implementing the change.
This study will appraise the implementation of the change process including resistance to change and practical management aspects. In this study we will use Chorus as real life example of the change process and its implementation. Chorus, a steel company operates in a fast changing environment. They had to respond to these changes to beat rivals and meet customers’ needs. Chorus needed the commitment and support of staff to make changes that shape the business in the longterm. Corus has three divisions, one of which is Corus Strip Products UK (CSP). CSP UK makes steel in strip form. CSP UK has put in place a major change programme called The Journey to overcome any barriers to change and secure a better future for the business.
Reasons for change
Organisations typically change in response to the external environment, as well as through the development of competitive strengths within the organisation. External environmental factors include:
Social factors – e.g. changes in demography and consumer buying patterns.
Legal factors – legal pressures that force organisations to change to comply with laws, e.g. by responding to environmental legislation.
Economic factors – relate to booms and slumps in general economic activity, changes in interest rates, inflation rates etc.
Political factors relate to wider political changes – for example, a government taking a particular line on privatisation/the role of the state in society.
Technological factors relate to new developments in technology – e.g. the development of new web based selling methods by companies.
On top of the above SLEPT (Social, Legal, Economic, Political and Technological) factors a major influence on the organisation is what the competition is doing. A SLEPT analysis is an analysis of key changes in an organisation’s environment. It is sometimes referred to as scanning the environment. The management of change is a key aspect of the way in which an organisation responds to change in an appropriate way. The emphasis should be on managing the change rather than reacting to change.
Other ways in which organisations change are by altering their culture, i.e; changing the typical patterns and behaviours within the organisation e.g. moving from a
top-down organisation to a more democratic form. Becoming more customer or marketing focused as opposed to production oriented. Most organisations today are
developing this customer focus. Altering the scope of their activities e.g. by taking on new activities or by operating in new geographical areas. For example, most large companies today have become global enterprises and they have often reduced the number of brands and products they offer in order to concentrate on power brands in global markets.
Usually organizational change can be brought about by some major outside driving force, e.g., substantial cuts in funding, address major new markets/clients, need for dramatic increases in productivity/services, etc. Typically, organizations must undertake organization-wide change to evolve to a different level in their life cycle, e.g., going from a highly reactive, entrepreneurial organization to more stable and planned development. Transition to a new chief executive can provoke organization-wide change when his or her new and unique personality pervades the entire organization.
According to Kurt Lewin good communication is an important part of the process of changing the organisation. This involves communicating the direction of change, the objectives, how the change will be carried out and who will be involved.

Change in a Chorus was a planned process. It followed a clear structure. Chorus identified the barriers to its changes, created and applied a plan for change and a method for measuring its success.
Internal drivers for change at Chorus UK were:
• poor delivery
• high wastage
• low staff morale.
External drivers were:
• new rivals
• changing customer needs
• new technology
• poor views of the steel sector.
Barriers to change
Different types of change require different approaches, but fundamentally managers of staff need to ensure that they support their team through the change. Individuals must also prepare themselves for change.
Typically there are strong resistances to change. People are afraid of the unknown. Many people think things are already just fine and don’t understand the need for change. Many are inherently cynical about change, particularly from reading about the notion of “change” as if it’s a mantra. Many doubt there are effective means to accomplish major organizational change. Often there are conflicting goals in the organization, e.g., to increase resources to accomplish the change yet concurrently cut costs to remain viable. Organization-wide change often goes against the very values held dear by members in the organization, that is, the change may go against how members believe things should be done. That’s why much of organizational-change literature discusses needed changes in the culture of the organization, including changes in members’ values and beliefs and in the way they enact these values and beliefs.
Every organization has a distinct culture. Sometimes the culture is fragmented and difficult to understand, but most organizational cultures are very strong. Organizational culture influences and affects many aspects of employees personal and professional life. It affects what decisions are made, who gets promoted, how people dress and how the work force behaves. Culture binds people into a cohesive group. However, change can be perceived as a threat. Yet one thing is constant. People are resistant to change. We are all creatures of habit and will continue doing the things that we are doing unless those habits are reformed in some manner. Organizations can often be more resistant to change than an individual. They are made up of several individuals, each having his/her own resistance, therefore providing collective resistance. Change also requires utilization of limited resources. Costs can be prohibitive. The politics of an organization and threats to an individual’s power or influence can often deter necessary change as well.
Fullan, M. and Stiegelbauer, S. (1991). The New Meaning of Educational Change. New York: Teachers College Press. Excerpted from Leadership and Technology, published by the National School Boards Association’s Institute for the Transfer of Technology to Education.
Chorus identified from very early stages that change would challenge or threaten peoples’ abilities, experience, customs and practice. It identified the following barriers to its planed change:
• an attitude of ‘this is the way we do things around here’
• some staff saw change as a threat to their teams and roles
• some of Corus’ past changes had led to job cuts. This caused insecurity and low morale
• Corus gave rewards for ‘long service’ rather than ‘great service’. This meant that staff who had been with Corus a long time gained greater rewards than new staff who were performing better.

Overcoming barriers to change
Cummings and Worley (Organization Development and Change, 1995) describe a comprehensive, five-phase, general process for managing change, including:
motivating change – This phase includes creating a readiness for change in your client organization and developing approaches to overcome resistance to change. General guidelines for managing this phase include enlightening members of the organization about the need for change, expressing the current status of the organization and where it needs to be in the future, and developing realistic approaches about how change might be accomplished,
creating vision – Leaders in the organization must articulate a clear vision that describes what the change effort is striving to accomplish. Ideally, people in the organization have strong input to the creation of the vision and how it can be achieved. The vision should clearly depict how the achievement of the
developing political support – This phase of change management is often overlooked, yet it is the phase that often stops successful change from occurring. Politics in organizations is about power. Power is important among members of the organization when striving for the resources and influence necessary to successfully carry out their jobs. Power is also important when striving to maintain jobs and job security, http://www.authenticityconsulting.com
managing the transition – This phase occurs when the organization works to make the actual transition from the current state to the future state. In consultations, this phase usually is called implementation of the action plans. The plans can include a wide variety of “interventions,” or activities designed to make a change in the organization, for example, creating and/or modifying major structures and processes in the organization. These changes might require ongoing coaching, training and enforcement of new policies and procedures and
sustaining momentum – Often, the most difficult phase in managing change is this phase when leaders work to sustain the momentum of the implementation and adjustment of plans. Change efforts can encounter a wide variety of obstacles, for example, strong resistance from members of the organization, sudden departure of a key leader in the organization, or a dramatic reduction in sales. Strong, visible,
ongoing support from top leadership is critically important to show overall credibility and accountabilities in the change effort.
In my opinion, the first step in implementing change is to get employees to buy in to the need for change and the changes themselves. It is very important that all employees be informed about the issue bringing on the need for change, the possible outcomes and the plan for solution. They must also understand their own roles in the process. This will help break down barriers to implementing the change. Once the changes have been implemented, over time they will become the new habits that bring desirable results. There is a relatively new and innovative process called appreciative inquiry (AI), which addresses change by using the organization’s employees, customers and vendors to design the future of the organization. According to the article, “Appreciative Inquiry: An Innovative Process for Organizational Change,” from Employee Relations Today, “Appreciative inquiry engages the entire organization in discovering the best of what has been and dreaming about the best of what might be.”
Forming transition teams of employees from all aspects of the business can also help to facilitate change and encourage employee involvement and buy-in. Some organizations gather input from surveys, but if that is the preferred method, it is imperative that the results are shared and discussed. Not doing so will destroy employee morale and trust. When seeking input, make sure the responses are communicated. Be honest in providing feedback to the employees. Address their concerns, and if the issues can’t be resolved within the resources and constraints of the organization, simply explain the reasons.
– Willis Mushrush, business specialist MO SBTDC for University of Missouri Extension’s Creating Quality newsletter Sept. 2003.
Successful change must involve top management, including the board and chief executive. Usually there’s a champion who initially instigates the change by being visionary, persuasive and consistent. A change agent role is usually responsible to translate the vision to a realistic plan and carry out the plan. Change is usually best carried out as a team-wide effort. Communications about the change should be frequent and with all organization members. To sustain change, the structures of the organization itself should be modified, including strategic plans, policies and procedures. This change in the structures of the organization typically involves an unfreezing, change and re-freezing process.
The best approaches to address resistances is through increased and sustained communications and education. For example, the leader should meet with all managers and staff to explain reasons for the change, how it generally will be carried out and where others can go for additional information. A plan should be developed and communicated. Plans do change. That’s fine, but communicate that the plan has changed and why. Forums should be held for organization members to express their ideas for the plan. They should be able to express their concerns and frustrations as well.
Corus has overcome these barriers by working with staff. Staff were also urged to take ownership of the new values. Workers are now more involved in choices and are recognised for doing well. Corus ensures that all staff know what is expected through a range of means. Workshops, newspapers, billboards, intranet, video and direct one-to-one talks spread the message. A programme with ‘shock tactics’ was brought in to show staff the plant’s condition, identify weak points and urge staff to make changes.
Measuring the outcomes of change
Corus set targets to make sure that actions led to results. Steps were set so staff would know how well CSP UK was hitting targets. CSP UK has improved
many aspects of its business by facing up to its internal weak points. This has helped it to grow. Key Performance Indicators have shown improvements in:
• lower costs
• less absence from work
• quality and service for customers
• Health and Safety targets
• CO2 emissions
• the impact on the local community.
To respond effectively to ever-changing demands, organizations must be prepared to change constantly. Managers must be able to recognize the need for change and identify and manage sources of resistance. The key to successful organizational change is to involve the employees in each step of the process.
Change management at CSP UK meant bringing the issues out into the open. CSP UK tackled barriers to change by winning the support of its staff. Its effective plan for change has helped CSP UK to continue to make profit in spite of the recession.

For about $30, Paul LaVista will put a submachine gun in your hand and let you blow apart your ringing telephone. "Nobody really wants to be Rambo," says LaVista, owner of BulletStop, in Marietta, Ga. "Everybody just likes to fantasize about it."
They like it so much, in fact, that LaVista is aiming to open four more outlets over the next year, some of which will be franchised. While he won't disclose any numbers, he claims sales and profits have been going great guns since he opened about two years ago. Customers can choose among 35 submachine-gun styles, from the Colt M-16, the current favorite of the U.S. military, to an Israeli-made Uzi.
BulletStop provides conventional police training targets, but customers are invited to bring along targets of their own -- anything, "as long as it's in good taste." Telephones, televisions, and vacuum cleaners are common choices, but, says LaVista, "computers are very popular." About 30 to 40 people make the rounds on an average day, although a hostage taking or an action movie can trigger bigger crowds.
LaVista says he was approached recently by investment bankers seeking to take his company public. But he said no and promptly blew them, uh, off.

Three female writers, all publishing in Khmer, will gather this evening at Java Cafe and Gallery for the first event of its kind in Phnom Penh: a literature forum organised by and for women.
Moderated by writer So Phina, Romance, War and Rice Fields – New Cambodian Literature Scene will include a chance for the audience and authors to meet, readings and an informal discussion.
“The purpose is to help them [authors] know the public . . . they have been working very hard to write and accomplish their work, but [are] very little known to the public, especially Cambodian readers,” said Phina, the volunteer director of PEN Cambodia’s Women Writers Committee. They often didn’t even have book launch events, she added.
The featured writers have varying levels of recognition and come from different backgrounds.
They include Oum Suphany, whose two books based on a diary she kept under the Khmer Rouge regime have been translated into French and in English; novelist Bounchan Suksiri; and memoirist Ting Sokha.
Their works mark a shift from traditional Khmer literature, in which women were often presented as idealised beings, to a more contemporary – and realistic – conception of female characters, Phina said.
“The female characters in my books are often stubborn, a little bit rebellious . . . but with sensibility,” Suksiri said. “They often possess some sense of humour, too.”
Suksiri is certainly prolific: she’s published six historical romance novels since 2011 and has plans to release three more. A professor of English at the Royal University of Phnom Penh, she was disappointed to discover that her students disliked reading novels in Khmer.
“My purpose in writing these novels is to promote and preserve Khmer language,” she said, adding that she had no plans to translate her works.
Phina echoed this sentiment – that engaging with literature in Khmer first was important, and especially so for young readers. “It’s our national language,” she said.
But the Khmer literary scene is small and difficult to navigate, and not just for women.
Authors seeking a publisher for works in Khmer encounter a small audience, a lack of support for the writing community as a whole, and poor enforcement of limited copyright law, Phina explained. Agents are also hard to come by.
Suksiri said that when she attempted to work with a publisher, they offered her between $100 and $200 for the rights to her work.
Instead, she chose to self-publish. “I could do whatever I like with my books,” she said. “I don’t have to negotiate with anyone, or try to please anyone.”
For its part, the Women Writers Committee is working to change the narrative.
The organisation advocates for 10 to 20 women at any given time. In March, it released an anthology of short stories – Crush Collection – under a new publisher, Kampu Mera Editions, dedicated to promoting the work of Cambodian female authors.
“We want women to take part in building and restoring Cambodia’s literature,” Phina said. “What I can say about [the] publishing industry in Cambodia is it is improving.”
And she looks forward to future forums. “I would invite other [groups] to come and I would think of mixing generations,” she said. “Or maybe a man writer as well.”
Romance, War and Rice Fields – New Cambodian Literature Scene will take place at Java Cafe and Gallery, #56 Sihanouk Boulevard, tonight at 5pm.

A tick-borne infection known as Babesiosis, which can cause severe disease and even death, is becoming a growing threat to the U.S. blood supply, government researchers said on Monday.
There are currently no diagnostic tests approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that can detect the infection before people donate blood.
