Action Bronson Gives a Nod to Slick Rick Before a Journey Down the Rabbit Hole (Audio)
One of the Mr. Wonderful (March 24) moments Heads will hear next month is “Terry.” While the jazzy arrangement isn’t what Bronson records typically employ, the verses appeal to the breakthrough 2011 sound from the Queens, New Yorker. Sexual details, BMW references, and some menu mentions make this cut simple but effective.
The adlibs call back to Slick Rick’s “Teenage Love,” with Bronson recalling some of his own adolescent exploits in the bars.

We can no longer be satisfied with 35th place in eighth-grade math proficiency. As The Oregonian correctly points out in its Oct. 27 editorial, even high school graduates in Oregon "are finding it tougher to compete against peers from other states and other countries as the workplace goes global." We have to do better providing employers with qualified workers; we want to do better providing our children with the skills they need to be successful in the 21st century.
Parents and PTAs across the nation are joining efforts to support national achievement standards, known as the Common Core Standards; indeed, 40 states have agreed to use these benchmarks. We urge the State Board of Education to adopt the standards at its meeting this week.
The goal of the Common Core Standards is to create a set of fewer, clearer and higher common standards that are evidence- and research-based and internationally benchmarked. These clear and rigorous expectations will help parents understand what their children should be able to know and do, will ensure equity for every student -- regardless of income or geography -- and will help teachers know what to teach. With shared, clear expectations, parents, teachers and other stakeholders can work more effectively together to improve student performance.
Establishing these standards in each school district must be a thoughtful, inclusive and well-planned process. Oregon PTA is prepared to be an active partner with the Department of Education, schools, teachers and parents to build support for adoption of the new standards and to work to implement them over time. With PTA's statewide reach, we have the capacity and commitment to work with parents across Oregon to develop understanding and build support for local adoption of the standards.
President, Oregon PTA

Among the many things serving on the Eisner committee has afforded me, the opportunity to read comics I don't usually find my way to has proven the most valuable thus far. I was never a huge reader of independent comics -- I'd read my share and I know the standards, but like many mainstream superhero fans (I assume), I just didn't tend to find my way back to them very often. Well, having read a slew of them over the last few weeks, I was bowled over by the talent, the narrative gambles, the unique aesthetic and the distinctive tones lurking between those covers.
While superhero comics tend to concentrate on the extreme, exaggerating situations and personalities to create their drama and energy, indie comics create drama by finding the extraordinary within the mundane, as in Adrian Tomine's Optic Nerve 12, in which a gardener pursues his dream of creating "hortisculpture" at a huge social price. Sometimes the indies use the extraordinary to highlight the drama of everyday emotions and situations, like in Julia Gforer's Too Dark to See, in which a succubus (or . . . something) sows the seeds of destruction in a normal relationship, or in Michael DeForge's Lose #3, in which the trials of a forlorn and recently divorced father is played out against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by dogs.
Sometimes it's hard to hear the quiet sound of a heartfelt conversation over all the superheroes punching each other and the zombies chomping on people's brains, but it turns out it might be worth listening to.

Fear of the dentist is, unfortunately, all too commonplace. In fact, dental phobia keeps thousands of people of all ages away from the dentist no matter the cost. But no one should neglect his or her oral health as this automatically adds a higher risk for serious decay, gum disease, and, consequently, poor overall health. If you or someone in your family actively avoids the dentist out of fear or anxiety, consider sedation dentistry. Dentistry at Windermere offers nitrous oxide sedation.
With oral sedation, we will prescribe a mild sedative to be taken by mouth just before your appointment. This relaxes you while allowing you to remain conscious during your treatment so you can answer any questions the doctor may have. It will be necessary for you to make arrangements to be picked up after the procedure, as the effects of oral sedation take time to wear off.

Former Telecom Minister Dayanidhi Maran and his brother Kalanithi Maran today appeared as accused before a special 2G court in connection with the Aircel-Maxis deal case.
The Maran brothers appeared before Special CBI Judge OP Saini in pursuance to the summons issued against them and moved their separate bail pleas on which the court asked CBI to respond on March 16.
"Put up for reply on bail application on March 16..." the court said.
During the hearing, CBI Prosecutor KK Goel told the court that the summons to the three India-based accused, including the Maran brothers and the firm Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd, have been served.
Mr Goel told the court that summons to a Mauritius-based accused firm has also been reportedly served, but they have not yet received any communication regarding the same.
Besides these four accused, the prosecutor informed the court that summons to the other four accused who are based in Malaysia and UK have not been served yet and they are in the process of expediting the issue with concerned authorities.
During the hearing, besides Maran brothers, the authorised representative for accused firm Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd also appeared in the court.
The court while posting the matter for further hearing on March 16, directed the CBI to supply all the documents on the chargesheet to the three accused who appeared before it.
The court had on October 29 last year summoned Marans, Malaysian business tycoon T Ananda Krishnan and five others, including four firms, for today as accused after taking cognisance of the CBI's charge sheet filed in the case.
Besides the Maran brothers and Krishnan, CBI has named Malaysian national Augustus Ralph Marshall and four firms - Sun Direct TV Pvt Ltd, Maxis Communication Berhad, Astro All Asia Network PLC and South Asia Entertainment Holding Ltd - as accused in the case.
CBI has listed them in the charge sheet for the offences punishable under section 120-B (criminal conspiracy) of the IPC and under relevant provisions of the Prevention of Corruption Act.
The agency had earlier told the court that five of the eight accused were residing and based in different countries like Malaysia, Mauritius and the UK while the remaining three were based in Chennai.
On August 29 last year, the CBI had filed the charge sheet in the case containing the names of 151 prosecution witnesses and a set of 655 documents, on which it has relied upon during its probe.
CBI had alleged in the court that Dayanidhi Maran had "pressured" and "forced" Chennai-based telecom promoter C Sivasankaran to sell his stakes in Aircel and two subsidiary firms to Malaysian firm Maxis Group in 2006.
It argued that the case involves investigation in foreign countries and there were sufficient grounds to proceed against the accused named in the charge sheet.

I’m sure Nova Scotia’s pictogram road signs are universally standard, but The Gnome and I had never seen the likes of some of them before. Maybe we live sheltered lives. Or maybe we’d just been alone together too long. Whatever the reason, the road signs we saw along our Canadian travels finally started to crack us up. We did struggle with some, and then we started making up our own messages. Here are some examples.
It was the exclamation point that first got our attention. What could this say, we wondered: Hey, Mom, watch this? Don’t dive from a pyramid? “Running down a vertical slope is exclamation-point-worthy?” The chain link fence separating us from a sheer cliff-drop into the ocean might have given us a clue. Good advice in any case.
Don’t know why, but we found this odd–a private railroad crossing.
Doesn’t this look like a warning that a dump truck is about to crash into a wall? Look again–it actually means construction equipment may be entering the highway somewhere nearby.
Wow, those Canadians and their speed limits! Oh, wait, that’s kilometers, not miles per hour. Quick, calculate!
This one? Maybe mountains ahead? Nope. It means the road’s about to get bumpy
After trying to interpret some of the more obtuse road signs, we decided this one meant “No tossing a tin can from your car window when the lid’s still attached.”
I loved the extensiveness of informational signage and was impressed by the wifi notice, but do you know what some of the other images mean?
You may have seen this on a previous post, but it fits here, too. It took us a while to figure it out. It looks like cuts of meat or something on top of two capital H’s. Soon enough we learned it means the pavement is about to end in favor of gravel–or worse.
The next one’s not a road sign, but we did find it in Canada.
Okay, I know it’s done differently in different places, but I’d simply never seen anything like this sign before. Sitting in my stall, I laughed out loud–mostly because I could never manage the first position!
It’s good to laugh. We did plenty on our trip.

As I noted in an earlier post, I haven’t used a lot of the gadgets I brought on my trip to India and wish I’d left them at home. My Manfrotto tripod and monopod are the two largest items that I haven’t used a single time since I’ve been here. Instead, I’ve been using the much more mobile Gorilla Pod to stabilize my cameras when needed.
I brought the Gorilla Pod to my brother-in-law’s wedding reception and used it to grab a few long-exposure shots with my D700. I wrapped the Gorilla Pod around a handrail at the top of a flight of stairs to catch the below image. This is one of three courtyards rented for the reception, which had over 2,000 guests. This courtyard had dozens of chefs cooking up food from different regions of the country.
I was trying to capture the scale of the event with this shot and couldn’t have done that without the Gorilla Pod.
There have been several other instances during the trip where the Gorilla Pod’s come in handy. For example, I used it to mount my Canon S90 on the side of a motorized rickshaw to capture a video of the crazy traffic in Mumbai.

The team has been hard at work ensuring users get the most out of the system. Remember to stay subscribed to these emails to ensure you receive the latest updates on new features and improvements in Office:
Waitlist and Enrolment Form Improvements
For service administrators and parents we have made the waitlist to enrolment transition smoother. While services will continue to link parents to the waitlist form via the provided URL, services can now send an enrolment form to individual parents with the touch of a button.
All child profiles in the 'waiting' status will now display a new button labeled 'enrol', clicking this button will instantly send parents an email with a semi pre-populated enrolment form.
The enrolment form has also received some minor changes to some of the fields listed to better reflect the available fields in a child's profile based upon feedback from our services.
Hotfixes and Bugs
Resolved an issue where some bookings were not changing color, even when recording valid attendances.
Resolved an issue where children were not being signed into the current booking if they had multiple bookings.
Resolved issues where one educator undertaking split shifts would count as two educators in the staffing ratio numbers.

I'm proud to be in a company that puts measures in place to decrease its footprint on the environment. Since today marks the annual World Environment Day, organized by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), I thought I would give you a brief overview of the takes steps we take here towards a sustainable environment.
This years theme for World Environment Day is forests, so it seems natural to give you an overview of our paper situation first.
blue-infinity encourages us to use the double-sided option for printing and copying documents. Deforestation and forest degradation account for nearly 20 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, UNEP says. By using duplex printing, we hope to decrease the amount of paper we use, thus helping to reduce this statistic.
Additionally, blue-infinity only purchases paper certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This means we know our paper comes from a forest where strict standards are enforced to ensure the forest and its biodiversity are protected. The paper we use comes from responsibly harvested and verified sources, where the workers international rights are respected, the use of hazardous chemicals is prohibited, and the respect for indigenous peoples human rights is upheld.
Did you know, according to the company Live Earth, paper represents more than 70 percent of office waste?
At blue-infinity, we recycle the paper we discard. Scattered around the different floors of our headquarters building, you can find special bins for recycling: large cardboard boxes (reused from various office equipment purchases) for paper, containers for PET bottles, and receptacles for plastic cups.
blue-infinity provides its employees with Eden bottled water cooler systems. In doing so, the company is helping to save 320kg of CO2e (greenhouse emissions), 4,921 MJ (megajoules) of non-renewable energy, and 54kg of plastic waste per year. Eden manages to save so much by providing more efficient transportation, and by reusing and recycling the water bottles.
Plenty of natural light is able to enter our headquarters building through the substantial window surface area we have. This is advantageous to saving energy normally used to light up the offices.
We also have shared floor lamps for when it gets dark outside. We only turn them on when we need them, and we all make an effort to turn off all the lights when we leave the office.
All blue-infinity employees are encouraged to turn off computers and screens when we have left for the day, because according to Live Earth, if 1 million people shut down their office computers overnight, 45,000 tons of CO2 could be eliminated per year.
Live Earth also reports that computers use up to 70 percent less electricity when they are switched to sleep mode, versus when they are on screensaver mode. blue-infinity teaches us about these small changes so we can make informed decisions about our energy usage.
Alternative transportation methods
Did you know, according to Live Earth, the average commuter burns almost 1,290 liters of gas and creates a 3.4 ton cloud of CO2 per year?
Some blue-infinity employees live near each other and car pool to and from work every day. Live Earth says this cuts the above figure in half.
Furthermore, many employees use public transportation and the company offers a bike rack for those who commute on their bicycles.
Live Earth says that if 1 million people replaced an 8km car trip just once a week with a bike ride, we could reduce CO2 emissions by about 100,000 tons per year.
In addition to having taken the preceding steps towards a greener future, blue-infinity offers a page on its intranet called green corner, a place where employees can find out more about how to live a greener life at work, at home, and in the community, and how to implement positive environmental action.

English poet, playwright, critic, and librettist Wystan Hugh Auden exerted a major influence on the poetry of the 20th century.
Auden grew up in Birmingham, England and was known for his extraordinary intellect and wit. His first book, Poems, was published in with the help of T.S. Eliot. Just before World War II broke out, Auden emigrated to the United States where he met the poet Chester.
About the Author W. Auden was born in York, England, in His first book of poems was published infollowed by a dozen volumes of shorter and longer poems. He collaborated on three plays with Christopher Isherwood and wrote books about his travels to Iceland (with Louis MacNeice) and wartime China (with Christopher Isherwood)/5(59).

W.H. Auden is a much neglected poet, until something happens (like ) and someone realizes that he has spoken of just such an event in his poetry. It is difficult to find his poems now, but it is well worth the effort. I truly love this collection and I consult it whenever I need inspiration or support/5().

In this post, we’ve taken on the difficult task of finding the ten greatest Auden poems – difficult because, although certain poems naturally rise to the surface and proclaim their greatness, there are quite a few of those.
Auden disapproved of literary biography. Or did he. The truth is far more equivocal than at first seems apparent. There is no denying he delivered himself of such unambiguous pronouncements as 'Biographies of writers are always superfluous and usually in bad taste.'; and that he asked for his friends to burn his letters at his death, but, against that, Auden himself/5.
Auden's electrifying, enigmatic and extraordinarily influential debut collection was published by Faber inand simply entitled Poems.
For the second edition () he omitted seven items and added new poems in their volume is a reprint. The Age of Anxiety: A Baroque Eclogue (; first UK edition, ) is a long poem in six parts by W.

Last November Ideas on Stage sponsored my Presentation Zen European Seminar (see info for my 2011 seminar in Paris). Attendees to the seminar, which was held in the cool facilities at the Microsoft head office in Paris, came from all over Europe, and even a few who flew all the way over from the USA. I had a fantastic time and met a lot of very interesting and creative people at the seminar. One such interesting person was a 6'8" Swedish medical doctor named Andreas Eenfeldt. Dr. Eenfeldt is a good example of someone who is doing important work, making an impact, and doing his part to change the world. He's using his knowledge and experience to challenge conventional wisdom and create a dramatic change. To do that, he realized early on that engaging presentation skills were necessary to spread the kind of change he had in mind.
Above: Inside the seminar held last year at Microsoft in Paris. Dr. Eenfeldt was one of the participants in the soldout workshop which included professionals from myriad fields, including medicine. The next seminar will be held November 14 in Paris.(More photos from the Paris seminar last year.)
Dr. Eenfeldt specializes in family medicine and has a special interest in "finding out how to get as healthy as possible using natural methods such as diet, exercise and perhaps a supplement (vitamin D) or two." And he has what to some people is still a provocative thesis: "The idea to eat less fat and less saturated fat was certainly a mistake. Inadvertently that advice may be the biggest reason behind the epidemics of obesity and diabetes. More and more people realize this. It’s time for a health revolution." Dr. Eenfeldt gave a presentation recently at the Ancestral Health Symposium 2011 which is getting a lot of attention. Watch it on Youtube or below. Well worth a look.
If your idea is worth spreading, then presentation matters
I like Dr. Eenfeldt's presentation for many reasons (in spite of the poor audio recording). The presentation had a good flow and structure that provided enough evidence to support his statements. He provided personal stories of his friends balanced with data and some quotations from credible people in the field that supported his idea. He also told his own personal stories. A lot of people were impressed with Dr. Eenfeldt's talk. Here is an example comment on his blog; Youtube has similar comments:
"Having watched more than half of the lectures presented at the Ancestral Health Symposium, I have to say that your lecture was, by far, the most engaging, entertaining, and most clearly articulated lecture. I have watched numerous presentations on the efficacy of low carb diets over the years, and your presentation is the best of the best. You also had the most illustrative slide show, and I am glad that when you uploaded your video, that you took the time to edit your video to include your slides. You have really impressed me."
Making it visual
Here are just a few sample visuals from his talk which used more than 100 keynote slides.
ABOVE: The doctor introduces the problem: the obesity epidemic is a very recent phenomenon. Then he uses the example of CDC statistics on the USA to note its dramatic increase in less than 30 years.
ABOVE: Dr. Eenfeldt shares his personal example. After a home-cooked LCHF meal his blood glucose was stable. Then he compares that to a high carb lunch with loads of sugars too which he got (ironcially enough) at the obesity conferense in Stockholm. While it is just his personal experience, it very much resonated with the audience. A very simple, clear, and visual explanation.

Forbes.com’s Maury Brown examines the claim of the NFL league office that it’s hard out there for an owner. His findings? Not really true.
Brown quotes colleague Kurt Badenhausen of Forbes SportsMoney, who writes, “The NFL has never been more profitable by our count with the average team earning $33 million in 2009 in operating profit (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) thanks to huge incomes for teams like the Cowboys, Patriots and Redskins.”
The rest of the facts don’t support the owners claims, either.
Revenue increased 43 percent between 2005 and 2009. The pace of free agent spending in the uncapped year actually slowed. Television rights fees are through the roof (and not the one at the Metrodome).
Basically, the owners will be fine. Their franchises will continue printing money. In many ways, it seems as though they will cause a potential work stoppage because they know the players will cave before they do. The owners believe they can get better terms for themselves, and they will succeed in their quest. It’s really only a matter of how much the players are forced to concede.
Are you ready for some football?

Businesses will expand as the economy recovers, driving industry demand
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 13, 2012
Few industries suffered more during the recession than Commercial Building Construction. The collapse of the housing market and its subsequent strain on the financial sector set the stage for a stifled commercial construction market. Reduced corporate profit, high unemployment and low consumer spending contributed to the industry's decline as businesses stopped growing or even downsized, which halted demand for new office space and warehouse construction. According to IBISWorld industry analyst Andrea Alegria, high unemployment and low consumer spending also crippled the retail and hospitality sectors. As a result, industry revenue is expected to fall at an average annual rate of 13.4% to $105.9 billion over the five years to 2012.
Commercial construction typically lags behind the overall economy by one to two years, due in part to the length of construction contracts and industry backlog. Industry revenue began to slow in 2008, and then plummeted 29.7% and 30.3% in 2009 and 2010, respectively. During those years, most contractors' backlogs diminished to unprecedented levels, despite the influx of stimulus dollars, causing profit to shrink. As the market for construction services declined, firms resorted to bidding on projects for a loss, just to keep their crews busy. In 2009 and 2010, profit margins dropped to less than 1.0% from a peak of 5.0% in 2007. Margins are expected to remain low in 2012, at 1.8%, showing a modest improvement as economic recovery stimulates demand for new commercial construction and as the prices of services gradually increase. “After three consecutive years of revenue decline, the industry is expected to begin recovering in 2012, with revenue projected to grow 2.1%,” says Alegria. Even more promising, over the five years to 2017, revenue is projected to increase at a much stronger rate. Improvements in the US economy will drive this growth, with demand for construction set to steadily rise as businesses begin to expand operations. Further, merger and acquisition activity will likely become prominent in the industry as the construction markets recover and more established firms compete for market share.
The Commercial Building Construction industry has a low level of concentration, with the four largest players accounting for about 5.7% of industry revenue. The largest industry participants are general contractors, but these firms often use subcontractors and local firms to develop projects. As a result, most participants are subcontractors that compete on a local or regional scale. Additionally, large participants operate in several construction segments outside commercial building, including civil projects, and municipal and institutional building construction, which further dilutes the concentration of industry revenue. About two-thirds of establishments employ fewer than 10 people, including about 47.0% of firms that employ fewer than five people. Only about 2.0% of industry establishments employ more than 100 people. These large-scale players are multi-establishment companies with branches that operate across many states and regions.

Beginning in 2006, the Center for Food Safety (CFS) took legal action against the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) illegal approval of Monsanto’s genetically engineered (GE) Roundup Ready alfalfa. The federal courts agreed and banned GE alfalfa until the USDA fully analyzed the impacts of the plant on the environment, farmers, and the public in an environmental impacts statement (EIS).
USDA released its draft EIS on December 14, 2009. A 60-day comment period is now open until February 16, 2010. CFS has begun analyzing the EIS and it is clear that the USDA has not taken the concerns of non-GE alfalfa farmers, or organic dairy farmers seriously, for example, having dismissed the fact that contamination will threaten export markets and domestic organic markets. You can review the EIS here and supplemental documents here.
This is the first time the USDA has prepared an EIS for any GE crop and therefore will have broad implications for all transgenic crops, and its failure to address the environmental and related economic impacts of GE alfalfa will have far-reaching consequences. CFS is spearheading a campaign to make sure all affected parties know and are involved in the public process and have the opportunity to comment.
This is a call to action to all who have concerns about the environmental and economic consequences of uncontrolled nation-wide growth of GE alfalfa, to all who believe in the public’s right to choose to eat non-GE food and the farmer’s right to sow the crop of his or her choice, and to those who care about the impacts of pesticides and invasive weeds on biodiversity and endangered species.
Farmers, dairy producers, scientists, public interest organizations, and all concerned citizenry must make sure their voices are heard in this important process. At this stage, the most critical thing anyone can do is provide public comments indicating their concerns with GE Roundup Ready Alfalfa.
In particular, the EIS dismisses the significance that GE alfalfa will broadly contaminate non-GE alfalfa. Opinions, studies (published or unpublished), anecdotal stories, and testing data about how contamination will occur and /or demonstrating that contamination has in fact occurred are critical.
The EIS also dismisses the significant adverse economic effects that GE contamination will have on non-GE conventional alfalfa seed or hay growers (e.g., export markets), or dairy production that rely on non-GE and organic alfalfa hay for forage. Studies (published or unpublished), anecdotal stories, and economic analysis showing harm through contamination is essential, especially markets that are GE sensitive or reject GE outright.
Submit your comments to USDA APHIS No Later Than February 16, 2009. You can also sign up for the CFS True Food Network and receive alerts on the process. Please also consider donating to CFS to help with this important effort.

Antonio Banderas at the Starlite Gala Benefit in Marbella, Spain. (July 12, 2012) -Photo: Bauer-Griffin, Fame/Flynet, Getty, INFdaily, Pacific Coast News, Splash News, WENN
please tell me he’s not wearing baby blue clogs….with heels!
Spanish men all have a little peacock in them (they really put up a squawk going in).
They’re EUROPEAN MAN SANDALS, gringos! ;)
Dude: “Antonio, I hear you wank in airport bathrooms with old yoga magazines…”
Antonio: “*sigh* Yeah, you’ve seen my wife. Got any more recent issues lying around?”
Whatever you do, lay off of those blue suede shoes!
Nice fucking shoes, Maria.
He is definitely daring the guy to say something about the shoes.
He must be very secure in his heterosexuality, or colorblind.
While the color may be a contributing factor…
Eef another asshole comes up and sings a line of Blue Suede Shoes to me again, I may rip out his windpipe.
Is it wrong that all it takes is the “Eef” to immediately tell my brain “Oh yes, the rest of this line should be heard in a Spanish accent”?
Yeah, in real life he does look like a pussy in (blue) boots.
Jesus fucking christ.
As a guy I never thought I’d have to say this but what’s up with those shoes??!!
With footware like that he should be texting Jenn Sterger.
“Das whowat hi sahound liiike?”
What the fuck.. Thin Jeremy Clarkson?

Online shopping has showcased tremendous potential and can be even thought of replacing the conventional in-store shopping completely. This has been made possible through the phenomenal breakthroughs in information and communication technologies. Such technologies are shrinking geographical barriers into a virtual world. It has a ubiquitous effect on contemporary civilization, transforming everything from a workplace, working style to shopping and communications. The popularity of online retail is rising along with its foreseeable sustainable potentiality in the retail industry. There are many advantages of online shopping for the consumer. Therefore, more and more companies are willing to adopt it as the primary or alternative retail format (Nielsen, 2014).
Its easier to shop online
E-commerce offers customers the liberty to make purchases irrespective of a location (Khanna & Sampat, 2015). The ease of access and round the clock availability of online shopping is a big advantage. In addition to that, online shopping offers consumers the option of purchases from a variety of mediums and devices such as computers, laptops, mobile phones etc. Online shopping has made it convenient to purchase and send gifts or value credits that can be redeemed for a purchase (Panigrahi, 2017). It not only helps shoppers to be abreast with the latest trends but a hassle-free checkout also adds to the overall shopping experience (Rigby, 2011). It also provides easy redressal and returns options for unsatisfied customers. Furthermore, online shopping platforms are best suited for unobtrusive purchases of products like sex toys, lingerie, intimate care products etc. (Järvinen, 2017). Shopping health-related products and medicines are still expanding. It caters to one of the most underserved consumer desires (Yadav & Ghadigaonkar, 2015).
However, to make the best, it is highly essential for marketers to identify the perceived advantages of online shopping. These benefits have to be studied from the perspective of the target customers in comparison with the conventional in-store shopping (Chang, Cheung and Lai, 2005). Wang (2012) studied the benefits of online shopping from the consumers’ point of view. Consumers prefer online shopping for multiple reasons illustrated as below.
A conventional buying habit relies heavily on the consumer and salesperson interactions. However, online shoppers now look for product reviews along with consumer experience ratings to make the rational choice (Flanagin et al, 2014).
Online shopping offers competitive pricing and a wide product assortment
E-commerce platforms help businesses to save money from staffing, transportation and maintaining a physical store (Mazón & Pereira, 2001). Electronic data interchange (EDI) reduces the costs borne by the companies for manual entry of data, handling and maintaining of log books and paperwork. This helps in significant reduction in the cost incurred by labour and paper (Bhalekar, Ingle, & Pathak, 2014). With the cost of inventory management reducing, it is now possible for a business to showcase a wider, more inclusive and exhaustive variety of product listings (Srinivasan, Anderson, & Ponnavolu, 2002). This is a win-win situation for both the trader and the consumer who gets the product at the best competitive price. Furthermore, the choice of different portals provides the end consumer with an opportunity to compare the best prices (Shah, et al, 2016).
E-commerce has become a vital part of society. Online shopping has indeed revolutionized the traditional business models and transactions by providing newer and better opportunities. Breaking borders have never been easier than ever. It is due to these perceived advantages of online shopping that the industry is set to see a major boost globally, further deepening the woes for offline stores.

No - not really.
Or at least I hope not. Yikes!
I just wanted to provide some photographic evidence that we are actually working on our house. And be 'we' of course I mean primarily Eugene with some minor assist by me.
Any hoo, here it is - several stages back. We (again - Eugene and petit moi) finished the first section and are demo-ing the second section in this photo. The second section is now almost finished with the re-roofing part and then we move onto the backside of the house. Haha I said 'backside'!
This weekend while Eugene was roofing, I was having an All! New! Recipes! Weekend! I made:
Cambodian Beef Salad - It was delicious and lime-y. From that limey Nigella Lawson's How to Eat cookbook. (Get it? British = limey? whatever). My advice though? If you are using the fresh chili peppers, remember to wear the gloves. That shit HURTS!
Haddock with Leeks and Sugar Snap Peas - This was from The Minimalist. Again yum - but with significantly less pain to my fingers. Leeks don't bite as much as chili peppers. And sugar snap peas are so sweet, how could they hurt anyone? They taste as sweet as baby cheeks!
Wholes Roast Chicken and Simple Green Salad - Okay - this isn't new to me, so perhaps it was more of an All New Recipes Saturday. However, aren't you happy to know that I shoved a lemon up a chicken's butt this weekend? And I did make a pan gravy I'd never made before.
So, despite the fact that he tried to work his ass off this weekend, Eugene did not succeed because I feed him so well.
I will be back with pictures of Alaska. Pinky swear.

Part 1 of this two-part series, which ran in last month's August issue, explored how to ensure your service entrance equipment meets Code. Starting with general requirements, the article tackled service equipment details and moved into discussions on multiple disconnects and service overcurrent protection. Now it's time to focus on installation requirements for service conductors and equipment.
Compared to other conductor requirements, those for service conductors can seem unduly restrictive. For example, service conductors for one structure can't pass through the interior of another [230.3]. To avoid problems, start a service installation by deciding which conductors are part of the service. What you decide here will determine how you do the rest of the job.
To identify a service conductor, first determine whether the distribution point you're working with is on the line side (service) or load side (premises). Conductors and equipment on the load side of service equipment are feeder conductors, covered by Articles 215 and 225 — not Art. 230 (Fig. 1). Examples of feeder conductors include conductors supplied from a battery, photovoltaic system, or generator.
To understand where service conductors begin, it's important to know that the “service point” is the point of connection between the premise wiring and utility supply conductors. Article 100 tells us that service conductors run from the service point to the service disconnecting means (service equipment — not meter). Keep in mind that service-entrance conductors may be either overhead (with a service drop) or underground (with a service lateral).
Article 230 requirements for a conductor that is inside differ from those for one that's outside. The problem here is that the distinction between inside and outside is sometimes not clear. For example, is a conductor inside a building if it's under the bottom floor of that building?
Fortunately, Art. 230 provides specific criteria, thus solving the problem. A conductor is “outside a building” when installed [230.6]:
Under at least 2 inches of concrete beneath a structure.
Within a structure in a raceway that is encased in at least 2 inches of concrete or brick.
In a vault that meets the construction requirements of Art. 450, Part III.
In conduit under not less than 18 inches of earth beneath a structure. Note: Conduit is a specific type of raceway. EMT, for example, is not conduit. See Chapter 3 (Articles 342 — 353).
Where moisture could enter through an underground raceway and come in contact with live parts, the raceway must be sealed or plugged [300.5(G)]. An example would be service equipment located at the bottom of a hill with underground service laterals supplied from the top of the hill.
Don't install service conductors in the same raceway (or cable) as feeder or branch-circuit conductors [230.7] (Fig. 2). Otherwise, overcurrent protection for the feeder or branch-circuit conductors could be bypassed if a fault occurred between the service and non-service conductors. However, this rule doesn't prohibit the mixing of service, feeder, and branch-circuit conductors in the same “service equipment enclosure.”
This requirement may be the root of the misconception that you can't install “line” and “load” conductors in the same raceway. It's true. You can't install service conductors in a raceway with feeder or branch-circuit conductors, but you can install line and load conductors for feeders and branch circuits in the same raceway or enclosure.
Overhead service conductors must maintain a clearance of 3 feet from doors, porches, balconies, ladders, stairs, fire escapes, windows that open, or similar locations [230.9]. However, you don't have to maintain the 3-foot distance for conductors that run above a window.
Maintain a vertical clearance of at least 10 feet above surfaces from which people might reach overhead conductors [230.24(B)].
Don't install service conductors under an opening through which materials might pass, or where the conductors will obstruct building entrances (Fig. 3). And never use a tree or other vegetation to support the conductors [230.10(C)].
Overhead service-drop conductors
How does a service drop conductor differ from a service conductor?
Basically, the drop conductor is the conductor that runs from the final overhead span of the service conductor to your service entrance. Don't let drop conductors be readily accessible [230.24].
Maintain clearances to building openings [230.9], swimming pools [680.8], roofs, and final grade.
Service drop conductors that run over roofs must maintain a minimum clearance of 8 feet above the roof surface, for a minimum distance of 3 feet in all directions from the edge of the roof. Four exceptions exist:
Apply the final grade clearances, if the area above the roof has pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
For 120/208V or 120/240V service-drop conductors, overhead conductor clearances from the roof can be reduced 3 feet if the slope of the roof exceeds 4 inches for every 12 inches.
For 120/208V or 120/240V service-drop conductors, conductor clearance over the roof overhang can be reduced to 18 inches if no more than 6 feet of overhead conductors pass over no more than 4 feet of roof (Fig. 4).
4) The 3-foot vertical clearance that extends from the roof doesn't apply when the point of attachment is on the side of the building below the roof.
When not run over a roof, overhead service conductors must maintain a vertical clearance to final grade [230.24(B)]. There are four specifications:
10 feet above finished grade, sidewalks, or platforms/projections from which they might be accessible to pedestrians for 120/208V (or 120/240V circuits where the voltage doesn't exceed 150V-to-ground).
12 feet above residential property and driveways and those commercial areas not subject to truck traffic for 120/208V, 120/240V, or 277/480V circuits.
Same as No. 2, but 15 feet if the voltage exceeds 300V to ground.
18 feet over public streets, alleys, roads, parking areas subject to truck traffic, driveways on other than residential property, and other areas traversed by vehicles.
Attachment and support
The point of attachment for service-drop conductors must be at least 10 feet above the finished grade and must be located so the minimum service conductor clearance required by 230.9 and 230.24 can be maintained [230.26]. This means that the lowest part of the drip loop must never be less than 10 feet above the finish grade. The points of attachment might need to be raised to provide the clearances from building openings required by 230.9 (and from other areas by 230.24).
Multiconductor cables used for service drops must be attached to structures by fittings identified for use with service conductors [230.27]. Open conductors must be attached to fittings identified for use with service conductors or to noncombustible, nonabsorbent insulators securely attached to the structure.
The service mast used as overhead conductor support must have adequate mechanical strength (or braces/guy wires to support it) to withstand the strain caused by the service-drop conductors [230.28]. Some local building codes require a minimum 2-inch rigid metal conduit for the service mast. Many electric utilities contain specific requirements for the service mast. Only electric utility service-drop conductors can be attached to a service mast. 810.12 and 820.44(C) specify that aerial cables for radio, TV, or CATV cannot be attached to the electric service mast, and 810.12 prohibits antennas from being attached to the service mast. Communications cables, such as those for telephone [800.133(C)] and broadband [830.133(B)], are not permitted to be attached to the service mast.
Underground service-lateral conductors installed by the electric utility must comply with the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC), not the NEC [90.2(B)(5)]. Underground conductors not under the exclusive control of the electric utility must comply with the NEC.
Each service drop or lateral can supply only one set of service-entrance conductors [230.40]. However, five exceptions apply, which you'll find listed right below 230.40.
Service-entrance conductors can be spliced or tapped per 110.14, 300.5(E), 300.13, and 300.15 [230.46]. While the NEC allows this, maintenance considerations often make this method inadvisable. Remember, the NEC doesn't tell you how to design an optimal installation [90.1].
If your service is 600V or less, you can use any of the 16 wiring methods listed in 230.43. A 17th wiring method (cable tray) is covered separately in 230.44. Cable trays used to support service-entrance conductors can contain only service-entrance conductors, unless a solid fixed barrier separates the service-entrance conductors from other conductors.
If the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) determines that the raceway isn't subject to physical damage, you can use Schedule 40 rigid nonmetallic conduit if you prefer. Otherwise, you must use one of the following:
Rigid metal conduit,
Intermediate metal conduit,
Rigid nonmetallic conduit (Schedule 80),
Electrical metallic tubing, or
Other means acceptable to the AHJ.
Remember, looks can be deceiving. What appears to be a feeder might actually be a service conductor. How can you be sure you're applying the right requirements?
The answer lies in the way the NEC is arranged. There's a good reason why the definitions are located upfront in Art. 100. So when you're faced with an installation that might be a service — for example, because the conductors enter from an outside wall — look at the Art. 100 definition of service. Cross-check your conclusions by looking at the Art. 100 definition of feeder and rule that out before proceeding.

Things You Need to Know About Mental Health Issues in Children
The first week of May is Children’s Mental Health Awareness Week, a national campaign that raises awareness and funds to promote kids’ mental health and well-being.
According to the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), as many as one in six U.S. children under the age of 17 has a treatable mental health condition such as anxiety, depression, or attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The majority of psychological health issues in children present by the time they’re 14, but many cases go undetected and untreated.
The consequences of ignoring adolescent mental health issues continue into adulthood, affecting not just one’s physical health but also one’s mental well-being and limiting chances to enjoy a full life as an adult.
The Covid-19 pandemic has undoubtedly affected mental health worldwide, and there is a significant concern about the long-term impacts on children. However, while the pandemic has impacted kids’ psychological health, many experts suggest that the pandemic hasn’t created a mental health problem so much as it has just shone a light on a crisis that has been around for a long time.
Table of Contents
Some kids are more at risk of developing mental health issues
Certain children seem to be more at risk for developing mental health issues than others. For example, kids who have a family history of mental illness are more likely to experience it themselves. Additionally, children who have experienced trauma or abuse are also at an increased risk of developing mental health issues.
LGBTQIA+ youth are more prone to mental health problems than others. This is due, in part, to the prejudice and discrimination they may face at school, at home, and in their wider community.
Research suggests that these psychological health issues are linked to variables like family acceptance and bullying. This indicates that prejudice and discrimination, rather than simply being LGBTQIA+, might explain the mental health problems that affect youth in this community.
It’s important to remember that any child can develop a mental health problem, regardless of their background or circumstances. If you’re concerned about your child’s psychological health, it’s essential to reach out to a professional for help. Many children can overcome their mental health challenges and lead happy, healthy lives with early intervention and treatment.
If you are worried about your child’s psychological health, don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s physician or mental health services near you. With early intervention and treatment, your child can lead a happy and healthy life.
Screens and technology can contribute to mental health symptoms
There is no doubt that screen time has become a mainstay in children’s lives. A report from Common Sense Media found that nearly 60% of American kids ages eight and under have access to a mobile device, and 72% of parents say their child uses some form of technology daily. According to the same report, kids’ average amount of time with screens is more than seven hours a day.
While there are many benefits to children using technology, such as increased access to information and educational resources, there is growing concern about the potential adverse effects of too much screen time on young minds. Several studies have linked excessive screen time to poorer mental health in children and adolescents.
For example, one large-scale study published in JAMA Psychiatry in 2019 found that children who spend more than three hours a day on screens are more likely to have increased levels of internalizing problems, such as anxiety and depression, than those who use screens for less than an hour a day.
Coinciding with children’s mental health week is Screen-Free Week. The goal of Screen-Free Week is to encourage people to rekindle their love for life beyond screens. During the first week of May, thousands of families, schools, and communities worldwide will turn off their entertainment devices for seven days and have a lot of fun, connection, and discovery.
To observe and celebrate Screen-Free Week with kids, you may make an effort to do anything else rather than spend time with screens. This may include getting outside and taking walks, playing at the playground, visiting local parks and museums, playing board games, and reading. Screen-free week is a perfect time to visit your local library.
Signs that your child may need help
Mental health disorders in children can manifest in many ways. Some common symptoms include:
- Withdrawing from friends and activities
- Sadness or irritability
- Excessive worry or anxiety
- Problems sleeping
- Uncontrollable anger
- Signs of PTSD after a traumatic event
If your child exhibits any of these signs, it is vital to seek professional help. Early intervention is critical in treating mental health disorders and can prevent them from becoming more severe later in life.
There are several ways to get help for your child if you think they may be struggling with a mental health issue. First, you can talk to your pediatrician about a mental health screening and the possibility of referring you to a mental health professional.
Mental health issues in children and older kids are sometimes hard to spot. Many of the symptoms can be chalked up to typical teenage mood swings. However, some key signs may indicate a more severe problem. As well as information about Mental Health Awareness.
If a teenager exhibits signs of depression, such as persistent sadness, loss of interest in activities, and withdrawal from friends and family, this could be a cause for concern. If these symptoms are accompanied by changes in sleeping or eating habits, difficulty concentrating, or thoughts of self-harm, it is essential to seek mental health services.
Anxiety disorders are also common in children and adolescents. Symptoms of anxiety can include excessive worry, irritability, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping. If a teenager regularly has panic attacks, struggles to leave the house, or avoids social situations, it is worth seeking professional help.
Early intervention is crucial in mental health treatment
Early intervention is critical for getting children proper mental health treatment. If left untreated, these issues in children can lead to severe problems later in life, including poor school performance, substance abuse, and even suicide.
Early intervention can help prevent these problems by providing children with the necessary tools to cope with their condition. It can also help them develop healthy coping mechanisms and social skills. Early intervention is the key to helping children with mental health issues thrive in life.
There are many mental health treatment options for children– the most common ones being individual therapy and family therapy. In many cases, a child’s doctor may refer them to a psychiatrist for a medication assessment along with traditional therapy.
When a child has a mental illness, it affects the whole family unit. This is one reason that family therapy can be a good option for children having psychological health issues, as it provides support to the family as a whole.
If Your children have any mental health issue don’t wait to get help. Please contact to Healthe city– and get best health treatment for your children as well as your family.
Family therapy can help children and their parents, caregivers, or siblings learn coping mechanisms and more effective ways of communication to manage their mental health issues and make positive changes in their lives. If your child is struggling with mental health symptoms and you would like to explore therapy, call Serene Health. We offer many behavioral health and mental health services, including individual and family therapy, and we have flexible appointments available through our telehealth platform.

Whether it be a choreographed first dance, a champagne fountain, or a sweet family reunion — nothing beats a mid-wedding surprise.
One bride took this idea to the next level by organising an adorable gift for her new husband on their big day.
Newlywed Vora Quinn, from Tulsa in the United States, tells 9Honey she had a dramatic mid-wedding haircut after not chopping her long locks for 14 years.
"I became really attached to my hair so the thought of cutting it was so scary… I had no idea how it would look or how it would make me feel!" Quinn explains.
"Throughout 2021 I slowly decided that I was ready to make the change, but I also knew my now husband and I wanted to get married before 2021 was over and I really wanted long hair in my wedding photos.
"At first the plan was to cut it on our honeymoon in Hawaii, but then one day I thought… what better way to make the haircut go from something I was afraid of to something so monumental and exciting than to cut it on my wedding day, better yet in my wedding dress?"

Quinn says she struggled keeping it a secret from her husband Justice, who she describes as her "best friend".
After the ceremony, the bride told Justice she was going for a "quick hair and makeup change" and reappeared looking like a completely new woman.
Justice's sweet reaction to her incredible hair transformation was a telling sign she made the right decision.
"My husband and I are best friends so not telling him details about my wedding dress and keeping the haircut a secret was so hard for me, but it paid off and I have no regrets!" Vora says happily.
"Justice's reaction was everything! I had no doubt it would be, but the joy we had that day was unlike anything I've ever felt. I knew that he knew how big of a deal me cutting it would be and I also knew if I loved it, he would love it too."
Quinn filmed the exact moment she revealed her new hairdo to her groom and posted the clip onto TikTok.
"Oh my god, it looks so good. When did you decide to do?" a delighted Justice asked his new wife, as they laughed and hugged.
The newlywed was stunned when the now-viral video attracted millions of likes and adoring comments.
"A lot of people commented on my video saying they would be scared their significant other wouldn't react much," Quinn said.
"Honestly choosing to do it on my wedding day made it something to look forward to instead of something to fear. I always thought I would cry when I cut it, but because of how excited I was to show him I was just so giddy there was no time to cry!"
The newlyweds had an intimate ceremony with just their parents and siblings and hadn't even told friends they were engaged.
Quinn says her loved ones were extra shocked when she posted pictures to social media of her short hair and elopement.
"Since we weren't having any guests, we decided not to announce that we were even engaged on any social media, so the first pic we posted from our wedding was one where I had short hair so people were double shocked!" she says.
"It was so fun sharing moments of the day with people and getting their reaction."
The glowing newlywed hopes her fun wedding idea might become a tradition for other brides with long hair wanting a big change.
Quinn has no regrets and is now basking in her honeymoon period with Justice.
"I would absolutely encourage this to anyone, especially girls who have been growing their hair out for a long time!" Quinn adds.
"I hope I see other people tag me in videos of them doing the same thing. Maybe it becomes a new tradition?"

20 October 2015, Aurora, Colorado ~ As of September 2015, the United States has been officially accepted into the Heritage Arabian Horse Club (HARC), providing $20,000 of annual added money to Arabian racehorses which carry specific minority strains of blood, with the idea of encouraging a more diverse gene pool for the long-term health of the sport worldwide. In addition, it will provide support for promotion and administration of the program.
In total, ten countries have been approved as founding members to receive the added money around the world, totaling $275,000: Australia, Brazil, Egypt, Morocco, Poland, Turkey, United Kingdom, USA, UAE and Russia.
Initiated by HH Sheikh Sultan Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the urgency came when it was determined that the majority of the world’s bloodlines in Arabian racing were largely dominated by just six stallions: Amer, Baround III, Burning Sand, Dragon, St Laurent, and Tiwaiq. Concerns about a more diverse gene pool, as well as preservation for “heritage” strains that otherwise would not be competitive against these other bloodlines led him to create this added money program.
USA voting member Evie Tubbs Sweeney, who is a 15-year marketing veteran in the Arabian breed, sees tremendous potential in helping the sport grow in America.
“I believe there is a huge opportunity to incentivize existing Arabian horse breeding programs in the show world to try Arabian racing,” she said, “particularly with help like the HARC added money program, while also encouraging existing Arabian racing owners of lines outside these dominant ones to not give up and leave the sport.”
However, concerns have arisen about a perception of exclusion within the Arabian racing community.
“It’s important to emphasize that the HARC added money program does not, in any way, limit the opportunity of any bloodlines to race in any race in America,” said Tubbs Sweeney. “It is simply meant to encourage existing breeders of bloodlines outside the predominant lines, as well as new breeders/owners in the sport. It is exactly that: a breeders incentive program.”
The added money will be divided up between the five major Arabian racing state affiliates ($4,000 to each affiliate) in 2016: Delaware, Michigan, Colorado, Texas and California. Tubbs Sweeney will work with each affiliate to identify one race during its respected race meets that can be promoted as a race with HARC added money. The payouts will be as follows:
– $1,000 to the breeder AND owner of the first place HARC-eligible horse
– $600 to the breeder AND owner of the second place HARC-eligible horse
– $400 to the breeder AND owner of the third place HARC-eligible horse
And while other countries are holding races strictly for HARC-eligible horses, the United States will be offering the added money to existing races.
“We don’t have enough HARC-eligible horses currently in the USA to fill up a whole race,” Tubbs Sweeney said. “This will be a good way to get it off the ground in its first year.”
“While Evie is the Director of Marketing for the Arabian Jockey Club, the AJC is in no way affiliated with HARC,” clarified Kathy Smoke, president of the AJC. “However, the AJC will be assisting in disseminating HARC-related news and information through AJC media outlets to fulfill our role as a portal for racing data to the Arabian racing community.”
A website is currently in development for the HARC program. Any questions in the meantime can be directed to Evie Tubbs Sweeney at [email protected].

The plug-in hybrid MG HS Plus EV plug-in hybrid crossover line-up will double in size during 2022.
Announcing its major sponsorship deal with the South Sydney Rabbitohs NRL team, MG Motor Australia subtly mentioned the new HS Plus EV Vibe.
“MG will launch the HS Plus EV Vibe variant in January 2022 at this stage,” a spokesperson for MG Motor Australia told CarExpert.
“We can’t confirm pricing or final specs today, but can confirm it will have exactly the same powertrain and MG Pilot safety suite as the HS Plus EV Essence.”
Currently, the HS plug-in hybrid – recently rebranded to the HS Plus EV – is only sold in top-spec Essence guise, priced from $47,990 drive-away.
As noted earlier, the HS Plus EV Vibe will retain the 189kW/370Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged plug-in hybrid system, which can accelerate from 0-100 in 6.9 seconds and travel up to 63 kilometres (NEDC) on a full charge of its 16.6kWh battery pack.
Combined fuel consumption, meanwhile, is quoted at just 1.7L/100km on the combined cycle.
The confirmation of the MG Pilot safety suite also means the following active safety features will be standard:
- Autonomous emergency braking
- Forward collision warning
- Lane-keep assist
- Lane departure warning
- Adaptive cruise control
- Blind-spot monitoring
- Rear cross-traffic alert
Using the petrol-powered HS Vibe as a guide, the entry-level plug-in hybrid SUV could drop features like LED headlights, satellite navigation, dual-zone climate control, panoramic sunroof or its surround-view camera to bring the price down to around the $40,000 drive-away mark.
A price around that mark would make the HS Plus EV Vibe one of the cheapest plug-in hybrids in Australia, with the Hyundai Ioniq Plug-in Hybrid now solely available in high-spec Premium specification ($47,950 +ORCs), the Kia Niro Plug-in Hybrid S ($49,990 drive-away) and the cheapest Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross Plug-in Hybrid ES ($49,990 drive-away) all priced above the current HS Plus EV Essence.
Stay tuned to CarExpert for an update on the MG HS Plus EV Vibe in January 2022.

Accounting and construction hiring rose in Feb.
Construction companies hired. So did accounting businesses ahead of income tax season. And restaurants. Even state and local governments.
Despite severe winter weather, U.S. employers added 175,000 jobs in February, and the unemployment rate inched up to 6.7 percent from 6.6 percent, the Labor Department said Friday. Those gains defied fears that tough winter weather might have sent hiring into hibernation.
Hiring had slowed in recent months, with just 129,000 jobs added in January and 84,000 in December.
Companies involved in accounting services added 15,700 jobs in February ahead of the IRS' April filing deadline. Restaurants and bars hired 21,200 wait staff, cooks, cashiers, bartenders and dishwashers.
Local governments added 8,000. Education workers at the state level increased by 10,000. Heavy and civil engineering construction contributed most of the 15,000 building jobs.
Some sectors of the economy didn't benefit. Retailers shed jobs for a second straight month after the end of the holiday shopping season. And Hollywood might have celebrated the best movies last weekend at the Academy Awards, but the industry let go of 14,100 workers.
Here's a look at the jobs added or lost in each major industry category:

Axis Bank — Double Payment against Home Loan
I am holding a Home Loan account with Axis Bank.
The Loan EMIs are deducted from my Account via Cheques every month.
On 21st April 2008, my Cheque could not be cleared due to
lack of funds in my Bank Account.
On 6th May, an Executive (from AXIS Bank) visited my factory (after prior telephonic consent)
to recieve the due amount. I paid him the amount in Cash and obtained the reciept for the payment.
On 15th May, the previously uncleared Cheque was presented by AXIS Bank to my Bank and was cleared for the already paid amount (in Cash on 6th May).
This totals up to 2 payments for one month (April 2008) against my Home Loan from AXIS Bank.
This is really surprizing that AXIS can produce the same uncleared Cheque again inspite of recieving the specified month's EMI payment by Cash.
I requested AXIS Bank Customer Care to look into this matter and revert back urgently with the reason of
the Double Payment Clearance by such a reputed Bank like AXIS.
Still waiting, but no reply so far.
What if they present another cheque for the May payment??

Not for decorating!!! And "takes some extra time" is underestimating it. It took me about 1 1/2 hours to make. Then when it seemed spreadable, I iced a doll cake for my daughter's birthday party. The icing went on well, then quickly thickened. Since I had tinted it pink, it looked EXACTLY like I had made the Barbie's dress with Silly Putty! It flowed down the sides of the cake, and the effect was awful. I guess I should remember that great baking rule, do not experiment when it's a special occasion, but I was looking for a good alternative to too sugary buttercream. Should have just sweetened some whipped cream and had done with it.

A young boy is being treated for serious injuries in hospital after a car was smashed into by another vehicle 'overtaking a taxi'.
The eight-year-old child is in Leeds General Infirmary after the crash on White Lee Road, Batley, on Sunday night.
The crash, involving a black 4x4 and a red Audi, happened shortly before 8pm.
Online reports from local residents claim the 4x4 was seen overtaking another vehicle, thought to be a taxi, before hitting the Audi.
The road, between Batley and Heckmondwike, was cordoned off at the junction with Dale Lane as emergency services attended. An air ambulance was also seen landing in a nearby field.
Reports on social media from witnesses said a woman and multiple children were travelling in the Audi - although West Yorkshire Police have not confirmed this, stating there was "one person injured".
A woman who said she was a relative of the victims said that "all children are ok some broken bones and bruising, kept them in, mostly shocked [sic]".
The relative also said the Audi "was hit by a speeding car taking over a taxi, she is ok and so are the children just shaken and bruised".
A police spokesperson said: "Police are appealing for witnesses after a road traffic collision at 19.58 on Sunday 6 January on White Lee Road in Batley.
"Two vehicles were in collision. Fire and ambulance service attended.
"An eight-year-old boy was taken to Leeds General Infirmary with serious but not life threatening injuries."
Anyone who witnessed the collision is asked to call police via 101 or use the live chat facility at www.westyorkshire.police.uk quoting log 1571 of January 6.

READING, Pennsylvania - Kate Gosselin, the mother on the cancelled reality show, Jon and Kate Plus 8, and Dancing With The Stars castoff has stated that she is seriously considering suing the reality dancing show.
Gosselin said that the only reason that she was eliminated from last week's show was because of the horrible things that the three DWTS judges said about her to a national viewing audience of over 30 million.
Kate said that the three judges did not have to be so downright mean, cruel, and insensitive. She said that when she arrived home that night, she learned that seven of her eight children started crying uncontrollably when they heard that their mother had been eliminated.
Gosselin asked the babysitter why in the world she had allowed her kids to watch the results show knowing that it was a distinct possibility that she would be getting eliminated.
The babysitter, identified as 16-year-old Sally Zipplecross, stated that she was in the kitchen baking a wedding cake for the eight kids and she just must have lost track of what seven of them were watching on TV.
Sally said that one of the sextuplet boys, Joel Kevin, was in the kitchen helping her stir the 12 eggs that went into the three-tiered wedding cake. She pointed out that sweet, little Joel Kevin, who is kind of on the different side, also helped her clear off the dinner table, wash the dishes, shave her legs, and paint her toenails.
Kate remarked to her dance instructor Tony Dovolani that she did not appreciate the gaytalian judge Bruno Tonioli saying that she was totally graceless and that a burro with three broken legs had more grace.
And she noted that Carrie Ann Inaba saying that she can see now that she has a lot of trouble getting a boyfriend due to her two utterly fat left feet was especially hurtful.
Gosselin said that 102-year-old English fag judge Len Goodman was the cruelest when he said that Kate was such a bad dancer the state of Pennsylvania should consider taking her eight kids away from her and putting them in foster homes.
Tony laughed when he heard Len say that. Kate told him that she did not think that it was the least bit funny. Tony, who by now had literally had his fill of Kate's prima donna antics and diva attitude got all into Kate's face and said, "Kate, to be perfectly honest with you. I do not give a flying friggin eff what the freakin frackin' eff you think, you conceited, egomaniacal, self-centered, frustrated fake blonde bitch."
"Tony are you mad at me again?" The ditsy Kate asked.
In other news. The state of Idaho has announced that they have confiscated three tons of illegal Idaho potatoes that were headed for the Wyoming border.

The Super Bowl has become much more than a sporting event and the culmination of the NFL season. It's become a cultural phenomenon, a pop culture bellwether that more than 111 million Americans watched in 2011[source: Klayman]. That's more than one third of all the people living in the U.S. at the time. If you have a message you want to get across to America, there's no bigger stage. Run your commercial during the big game and you'll access not only all the sets of eyes watching, but all the Monday morning water cooler (or YouTube) talk that a creative ad can generate. Ask a non-football fan how they'll be spending Super Bowl Sunday and you're likely to hear, "I'll be watching it for the commercials."
How did this happen? How did commercials, relegated 364 days of the year to mere irritants, excuses to head for the kitchen and make a snack or fast-forward the DVR, transform into must-see-TV? That's what we're going to explore in this article. In 1967, the first Super Bowl commercials cost $40,000 for a 30-second spot. That's about $261,000 when adjusted for inflation [source: Baumer]. 2011's ads cost roughly $3 million each -- and that's just the cost of the ad time itself. Add in the cost of the advertising agency and the production cost of filming the commercial, plus the overall advertising campaign (which might include magazine ads, billboards, or other commercials run before or after the Super Bowl), and you're looking at one very expensive message.
Let's break down Super Bowl commercials one piece at a time. How much do they cost, and why do they cost that much? Where does the money go? After that, we'll look at the cultural impact of Super Bowl commercials. Which ones are the most famous? Which are the best and worst? How has watching the Super Bowl (and its commercials) changed over the years?

ST. PETERSBURG — A DNA test has linked a 21-year-old man to the rape of a young girl on Halloween night two years ago, police said.
Samuel James Morales, who is listed as a transient, was booked into the Pinellas County Jail on Monday on a charge of lewd and lascivious battery.
Morales is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in the city Oct. 31, 2010, according to an arrest affidavit. On that date, officers found the young girl intoxicated at a convenience store, police spokesman Mike Puetz said. The girl didn't mention an assault, and was returned to her parents.
Two days later, the family reported the assault. Puetz said reports about the incident indicate the girl admitted to partying with Morales, who was then 19.
She said he had given her drugs and alcohol, and that she had passed out. When she woke, she thought something sexual occurred, but wasn't sure what.
Initial items of evidence police submitted for DNA evidence came back negative, Puetz said. But a lab did find Morales' sperm on the girl's underwear, according to an arrest affidavit.
It was unclear Tuesday why there was such a gap between the incident and Morales' arrest. Morales has been arrested a handful of time in the past couple years, records show, accused of crimes including stalking and criminal mischief.

The average American needs to realize that the GOP/DEM illusion of choice will get the country no where and if we truly want change it is time for a 3rd party candidate to win the Presidency. Many Americans are waking up to this.

When I pray at the beginning of class, I often thank God for all the people who make it possible for us to sit in that classroom and devote ourselves to the study of God’s Word. Praise God for the parents, spouses, friends, and family members, and praise God for everyone who gives so that we can teach and study. We are grateful for you. We pray for you. As the students prepare for ministry, they are serving you.
Thank you for making our work possible.

What’s that saying? “If you want God to laugh, make plans”?
I’m going to have to delay the release of Bloodbonded. I promise you all that I’ve been working on it—I really have! But the end of the school year usually brings with it a lot of demands on my time, and I think I underestimated how much time I’d have this month to really devote to finishing it up. In addition, a couple of my beta readers aren’t quite done with the last read-through, and my artist is still working on one of the maps, and I don’t want to publish without those final pieces complete.
There is some good news, though:

There are a number of benefits associated with building an engine from scratch. Not only do you get the enjoyment of bolting the thing together yourself, but a certain amount of pride goes along with it as well. You can say with the upmost confidence, "I did it." However, time seems to be scarcer than before and things can quickly turn south if you aren't careful. Wrong measurements can quickly send your once simple small-block build spiraling out of control with one-off custom components that can't be returned. Yes, this can happen to any engine builder-even the seasoned pros. What's worse is that it could push your build onto the back burner for a while.
We like to keep those incidents to a minimum. Besides, if all you're waiting on is an engine to throw into your weekend brawler or street car, why not choose something that's already been developed for you? Thrown-together engine kits sporting various odds and ends just won't cut it with the off-hand knowledge that today's enthusiasts hold and share on Internet forums.
What are your options? In this case, we'll give it to you in one word: Dart. Dart now offers a new line of Special High Performance (SHP) short-blocks that can be had without having to empty your pockets. If you're not familiar with the line, every block is precision-machined with features like Siamese bores, has ductile iron four-bolt mains and a priority oil main system, and is rated to safely handle up to 600 hp.
That's right, Dart has done all the hard work for you. Just top it off with a set of cylinder heads and a manifold, and you're good to go. It's for the guy that can't or doesn't necessarily want to measure for correct rods or check for adequate crankshaft thrust. Instead, this is for the guy who is willing to torque a set of heads and top it off with a manifold. Better yet, with Dart backing your new bullet, you get the security of knowing that it's going to bolt together without fail and you don't have to deal with the headaches normally associated with fitment.
These ready-to go-short-block assemblies are offered in your choice 372ci or 400ci and come with a number of internally balanced configurations to fit your needs, including your choice of a cast steel or forged crankshaft, 4340 I-beam rods with 3/8-inch cap screws, and hypereutectic flat-top pistons with optional forged units for higher horsepower applications.
For our testing, we opted for the entry-level 372ci short-block with the cast steel crank and hypereutectic pistons, and we complimented it with Dart's cast-iron 180cc heads and dual-plane manifold top-end package. If you're wondering what it took to prep this jewel for the dyno, let's just say that aside from removing it from the crate, the laborious half day (if you can call it that) consisted of fogging the SHP block with black high-temperature paint, installing the camshaft and lifters, and bolting on the induction. The results? Nope, you have to read on to find out!
What We Did
Topped off our Dart SHP short-block with its very own top-end kit and ran the mill on the dyno for the numbers to back it up.
Can't exactly put a complete short-block together? No worry-Dart has you covered.
Shortblock starting at $3,100.
Total build $6,926.

Distance is the main discipline in the dock diving sport. The game is how far can your dog jump. This is measured where the base of the tail enters the water. We use a certified judge who has been trained to measure the distance. There can be one or two handlers on the dock. If using two, one usually holds the dog in place revving them up, then releasing them while the other handler throws the toy. If only using one handler, the dog is usually in a sit stay position until the handler releases the dog and throws the toy. The dock is 8′ x 40′ and sits 2′ above the water. The entire dock can be used or less if you choose. You get 2 jumps per “splash”. The best distance from your 2 jumps is your final score for that splash. There are usually 6 splashes in a weekend. The top 6 dogs in each division then go on to the finals to compete for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place in their division.

This recipe for cream of mushroom soup is perfect for a cold evening, or as a base for all of your Thanksgiving casseroles! As usual when cooking with arrowroot powder, you’ll want to stir and watch it until the desired consistency is reached, but other than that, nothing too complicated here! You can also sub out the shallots with yellow onions if you don’t have any – just don’t use white or red, or it will significantly change the flavor.
Now onto the good stuff…we got engaged on Saturday (November 23, 2013)! We had this wonderful evening at a book signing at Barnes and Noble, then went out to dinner with our friends Ronnie and Roger, then in the morning, we took Lady (our new pet chameleon) out for a spin on the trees in the front yard. The weather was beautiful and we were just having a great morning. He ended up proposing to me while we were getting dressed, just couldn’t wait I guess. It was very sweet, I didn’t know if he was serious with me or not! What a wonderful surprise just before going home to my family! AND just before my favorite holiday! More to come on that…now back to the recipes!
Recipe: Paleo Cream of Wild Mushroom Soup
- 4 cups chopped Wild Mushrooms*
- 4 Garlic cloves
- 4 Shallots
- 2 strips Bacon
- 2 cups Turkey Broth**
- 2 cups Coconut Milk
- 1 tsp Walnut Oil
- 2 tsp Olive Oil
- 1 tsp Coarse Sea Salt
- ½ tsp Black Pepper
- ½ tsp Nutmeg
- 3 Tbsp Arrowroot Powder
- *We like to use a blend of Baby Bella, Shiitake, and Oyster Mushrooms, but if you want good old-fashioned cream of mushroom soup, then you can use White Button and it will still be great
- **Same story for the turkey stock. You can use chicken stock if that’s what you have. I like to make ours by adding some leftover turkey (skin, bones, anything you have), carrots, celery, sea salt and water. Boil it until you get the desired flavor, should take about 20 minutes.
- Chop the mushrooms. Set aside for later.
- Mince the garlic and dice the shallots and bacon. Heat the olive and walnut oil over medium heat (~5). Once the oil is hot, add the garlic, shallots, and bacon. Cook, stirring, until the shallots begin to brown, but the garlic is not burnt. If the garlic is burnt, start over, it will be bitter.
- Next, add the arrowroot. Mix it in and stir it into the onion mixture until you can see any dry powder. Once incorporated, add the coconut milk, turkey broth, and mushrooms. Season with sea salt, black pepper, and nutmeg.
- Bring the soup to a boil, stirring the entire time, then immediately turn the heat down to medium (~5). Continue to heat and stir until the desired consistency is reached.
Preparation time: 10 minute(s)
Cooking time: 20 minute(s)
Number of servings (yield): 4
This recipe can easily be made Vegan, just omit the bacon and swap out the turkey broth for vegetable broth!
Try this in our Broccoli Casserole!

WERRIS Creek Amateur Swimming Club has received near-record entries for tomorrow’s 45th Long Course Qualifying Swim Carnival.
682 entries have been received from 124 swimmers throughout the region.
Club secretary Tammy Clark said swimmers would be coming from as far away as Raymond Terrace, Taree, and Wee Waa for an important meet that is the last chance for athletes to qualify for the NSW Country
The Country Championships will be held at Sydney Olympic Park Aquatic Centre (Homebush) on February 22/23, with entries closing next Wednesday.
It is an exciting time for the small club as this will be the first meet that it will use automatic timers, after hiring the technology from Swimming NSW for the event.
One of the highlights of the carnival will be the Filters Galore Dash for Cash, a race to be held in two divisions, under 12s and the 13s and over.
The Werris Creek club has 20 regular swimmers aged from six to 25 and is held together by a small army of volunteer parents and friends that keep it going forward and thriving.
Debbie Faulkner is the head coach, with Olivia Chapman her assistant.
It has already been a great season for the club, with five swimmers qualifying for the Speedo Sprints last weekend in Tamworth.
Two swimmers have already qualified for the Country Championships after swimming fast times in other meets in the region.
This carnival is in the middle of a busy time for local clubs, with Quirindi’s carnival to be held next weekend.
The Werris Creek club trains four afternoons a week as well as a club competition night every Tuesday.
The pool was built by the community in 1969 and the club is proud of the community support and enthusiasm that has existed ever since.
For any more information, contact club secretary Kellie Tickle (0478 595218).

History: Published in 1980.
Plot: A story about a detective who is trying to arrest this white trash guy, and he is in love with his lawyer. The white trash has committed the murders, and he knows how to evade arrest, but he gets his in the end.
Review: I listened to this book, narrated by Frank Muller. The characters weren’t too believable. I’m not a big fan of these types of detective stories. Oh well.
Opening Line: ‘In the matter of Alvin B Guy, Judge of recorders court, city of Detroit: the investigation of the judicial tenure commission found the respondent guilty of misconduct in office and conduct clearly prejudicial to the administration of justice.”
Closing Line: “After a little while Raymond picked up the opener from the desk and began paring the nail of his right index finger with the sharply pointed hooked edge.”
Quotes: “I think you’re afraid of women, “ the girl from The News said. “I think that’s the root of the problem.”

As much as I'd like to preview tonight's Greenhouse and Grey Goose Presenting the Playboy Celebrity Lounge at Prime Lounge (106 W. Main St.) with pictures of the featured guests, that's not going to happen--trust me, I've asked. So I'll have to keep that slideshow for personal use.
Instead, here are some of the speciality drinks that are being served--less sexy, sure, but you've got a better chance of landing one of these. The party starts at 10 p.m. and general admission tickets are $100, which is less than what you'll lose at Churchill Downs this weekend.
Grey Goose Le Orange “Winner Circle”
Grey Goose “Down The Stretch”
Grey Goose La Poire “Royal Filly”

Murder at the Vicarage by Agatha Christie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I thought it was pretty well written and moved at a good pace. I didn't see the end coming at all, which was fun, but frustrating at the same time. I wanted to see more of Miss Marple, but I thought her character was very well developed - not too pushy or nosy, but with a sort of mystery about her own person that lent credibility to her skills of observation. Lettice was really irksome to me, but I couldn't help feeling for her at the end. I liked seeing it from the Vicar's point of view as opposed to an omniscient one; I could try to figure it out along with him, as opposed to just being told what to think. You also get his biases and mortal weaknesses, which are valuable in realizing that it is truly difficult to obtain a purely factual view and which also leads credence to him as a character. Christie was wise to take this path I feel, because as a writer who knows how it will end, it would be extremely difficult to achieve that unbiased anonymity. Coming from seeing the movies first, I thought I would want to read it from Miss Marple's viewpoint, but on reflection, I think that would be just as unsatisfying as an omniscient voice. All in all, an enjoyable read.

I decided to change the name of my blog. I've wanted to for a while, I just haven't found the right one until now. Those close to me will tell you that I am terrible at making decisions and this further proves it. I think this is more appropriate. I live in the same world as everyone else. I just have different stories to tell. Maybe it should be "Novellas of a Girl..." I do seem to ramble on at times.

Last Friday was a doozy.
I had an eight page research paper for my Tissue Biology class due at midnight. I'd been researching like a fiend since...Monday. Now don't start wagging your I-told-you-so fingers because I've got that under control. Anyway, Wednesday rolls around and I have yet to structure any sentences. On my way home, I check my phone as per ritual, not expecting to find any missed alerts, as there never are any. But I had 2! A missed call and a message. Inquiries to my voicemail revealed that a nice young man wanted to reserve my Friday evening for a social outing. But this wasn't just any date; he wanted to go to the BYU hockey game. I want to go. Really. Badly. But I have that wonderful paper to slave over. The game starts at 7:30; the paper's due at midnight. Oh, the drama. Luckily, this young man knows this, as we are in the same class, and is very understanding of the fact that I may not be able to accept due to this assignment. So kind, no pressure. I want to go even more now. Besides, what more could I accomplish in those three hours (no way I was going to bed late just for some paper)? After pouring out the whole story plus my minute-to-minute time commitments to my mom via Tabitha (mom was driving), I came up with a plan. It was fairly simple: finish the paper! Tonight! Easier said than done. I barricaded myself in my room, which Samantha was nice enough to vacate, and worked my tail off for 3 hours straight (punctuated with food provided by my kind, loving sister/roommate) and converted all my two days of research into four or five solid pages of prose. Not too shabby. I decided that this was definitely do-able and would call to confirm the next morning, as I had another 3 hour block to finish it then.
|I felt a little like this after that session, but hey! It was getting done.|
I called the nice young man at 8 and left a really scattered message, hoping that the main message of acceptance was conveyed. He texted back a confirmation of my assent shortly after, accompanied by another reassuring message that he would understand if I needed to cancel. I was determined to make that unnecessary and set to work. Unfortunately, I had used up all my research and was now required to fly through research articles (not the easiest literature to peruse at high speeds) and compose my findings simultaneously, which slowed my production rate quite a bit. I only added 1 or 2 pages in those 3 hours before I had to go to work. Now, the other wrench in this system I didn't tell you about is that I also had an anatomy lab final on Friday which I had not begun studying for. So the next five free hours would have to incorporate some studying as well as research/writing. Talk about butterflies! I had cortisol coursing through my system all the rest of Thursday. I wanted to do well on these things, but I really wanted to go on that date! Thursday night I didn't make any headway length-wise because I took out an entire section and replaced it with something else. Better paper, but still not done. I felt like the clock was running my life.
Friday dawned. Judgement Day. I saw the gentleman in lab and assured him that I should be able to finish the three last pages on time (internally biting my fingernails and crossing everything I could think of). The marathon of classes whirled by and then it was two hours until the final. The final is administered to us TAs during our regularly scheduled Friday meetings which go for two hours. We as lecture TAs convinced Rachel (the professor) to let us study together and take it the second hour since lab is a little out of our element. So I had at least one hour of devoted study time. But I also had these two hours of free time before that devoted hour. I decided to write for an hour & study for the other. But as the second hour drew near, I was on a roll and decided to keep writing. The count was 6 pages when TA meeting/study time started. I could do this, right?
That hour studying was more a frazzled panic, as I flipped frantically through my old lab manual and strained to recall the difference between all those arteries/veins/nerves. It was like I'd never heard these words before in my life. I didn't know what to focus on because I hadn't gone over anything so that time wasn't terribly productive. I entered the lab in a subdued panic. What if I failed? I couldn't even remember bony structures, which are my favorite. I mentally slapped myself back to my senses and told myself to just pray really hard and take it one term at a time. The mental dialog went something like this:
|No, you may not push the panic button!|
Calm down. Is it a brain structure?
Is it a muscle?
No. I think it's this term. Is that right?
Does it make sense?
I think so. Did I spell it right?
Does it look right?
Yes, I think. Ok. *exhale*
#2-...I DON'T KNOW!!
Calm down. Is it...
And so on for about 10 terms. Then I happened to glance over to the other side of the room where coincidentally the nice young gentleman was also poring over a specimen. He spotted me and smiled; naturally, I had to grin back. The rest of the exam was a lot smoother.
Task completed. Back to the paper. Two more pages! Just as I set to work to write right there outside the cadaver lab, I realize I have almost no battery and have left my cord at home. Why did I have to decide today of all days to lose the bag-lady persona? I race home and tether myself in the den as the last stretch of the race begins. I am on the last paragraph just as 7:30 comes around. I notify the young gentleman who entreats me not to rush, just to let him know when to come get me. I am just going in for the kill when my computer decides it has had enough drama and freezes. It is then that the realization hits me: I haven't saved in the past hour and a half! Slinging mild phrases of frustration to the universe and pounding CTRL+ALT+DELETE 500 times were to no avail. So I frantically scribble what I can see on the screen on some random sheet of paper and hope for the redemption of auto-save as I force shut down. That boot up seemed to last an eternity as I watch the seconds whiz by. Did it save?...YES! Hallelujah! A conclusion is drawn, the paper sent and the gentleman notified. I was free! I had done it. And all by 8:02.
The rest of the evening was well worth it. I've discovered that I really enjoy hockey. :)

Shifters arrived on the scene in Eberron at the end of 3.5e, but they have so much more potential!

So, I was minding my business over on the clock app when I saw conversation about tabletop RPG campaigns flash up. Then it bled over to the bird app. Then I started thinking hard on what exactly a campaign is and how the perception of that what was affecting the conversation. So let’s dive into the idea of a campaign!Read more
Lost World zones, in the mode of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s “The Lost World” and/or Jules Verne’s “A Journey to the Centre of the Earth”, have become a staple of the tabletop RPG world. Whether it’s fantasy or science fiction, the draw of prehistoric settings and creatures has remained high for years. But the drawback is that a lot of them feel same-y. The same grab bag of fan favourite dinosaurs, the same cavemen, maybe some lizardfolk for spice, and the inevitable jungle and swamp terrain combo. So this post is all about diversifying your Lost Worlds in your world building, to bring a bit of extra fun to it all!Read more
Wizards of the Coast has just announced the release of a Ravenloft campaign book, much to the excitement of the internet. This came with a lavish release article by Polygon, citing the reimagining and the diversity of writers that expanded the Domains of Dread. And it’s no mild expansion, it claims to have 30 settings and 30 villains. Combined with the recent Unearthed Arcana release, it seems like they’re finally making good on their promises of diversity, right? Well, sort of. On the front of it, it all looks good. But looking back over the history of D&D, and how Wizards have evolved in their curation of worlds, the picture takes on a different meaning.Read more
It’s been a year for D&D. The year started strong, but rapidly devolved into scandal as their claims of diversity and inclusion came into question and began to collapse under serious scrutiny following the revelations of former marginalized employees. I even formally announced that my D&D related material was all on hold until there was concrete movement on the deep issues around race that the game had suffered from for decades. But there was a lifeline. Prior to the scandals breaking, Jeremy Crawford (D&D’s current principle rules designer) announced that they’d “heard” us, and that changes were coming later this year (2020) to address this long standing set of problems. So how did that go down? Time to break the pause on D&D posts.

Parties have less power, but voters might have more viable choices under the state's new "top-two" primary system, according to panelists speaking at a conference of statewide county officials on Thursday.
Washington Secretary of State Sam Reed, who developed the standards counties will go by for the Aug. 19 primary, said the election system Washington has is rooted in the state's heritage.
Reed was one of four panelists discussing the primary system at a lunchtime meeting of the Washington State Association of Counties conference, which concludes Friday. The group is meeting at the Kitsap Conference Center along Bremerton's downtown waterfront.
"The people feel with great conviction that they ought to control the election process," Reed said, a feeling that goes back to the 19th century.
Reed was joined in the discussion by former state Democratic Party Chairman Paul Berendt, Thurston County Auditor Kim Wyman and Kitsap County Republican Party Chairman Jack Hamilton.
Hamilton said he sees parties eventually responding to the top-two system by employing nominating conventions to field official candidates. That won't change the state's rules for candidates expressing party preference, though, and Hamilton said he can see a day when the party spends as much time explaining why someone isn't a Republican as it does campaigning for its candidate.
Wyman and Reed, however, said the system may result in voters getting more viable choices in November than they've had in previous general elections. If a district is solidly behind one party, getting two choices from within that party might better reflect the area.
"In a district where the choice is between a liberal or a conservative Democrat, that may be more of a choice than those districts have had for a while," Wyman said.
Berendt led the Democratic Party when it joined with Republicans, Libertarians, Freedom Socialists, Green Party members and the Washington State Grange in seeking to overturn the former blanket primary. He said the parties were thinking constitutionally when they took the state to court.
"The political parties had a core value when they entered into this long process, that is that we have constitutional rights that for a long time had been violated by the state of Washington and that was we have the right of free association," he said.
Voters passed Initiative 872 to establish the top-two primary, but the state implemented a "pick-a-party" system while the parties challenged top two.
The U.S. Supreme Court made it possible for the state to use the top-two system when it ruled in March that the parties couldn't prove they were harmed by it. They haven't been harmed, though, because the primary system hasn't been used yet. That changes on Aug. 19.
The actual implementation of the primary could provide the parties their justification to make the system back to court. "We're acutely aware that the parties are probably going to sue us," Wyman said.
Those who have been harmed the most, said Berendt and Hamilton, are third parties, because they will rarely find their candidates on general election ballots.

Revelations that Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson may have been in fear for his life when he fatally shot unarmed black teenager Michael Brown in August have many people worried that Wilson won't be charged with a crime.
According to a report in the New York Times, Wilson told investigators that Brown shoved him and reached for his gun during a struggle through the driver-side window as Wilson was seated in his vehicle. Wilson further said that he feared for his life, which could be used to legally justify his use of lethal force.
Forensics tests conducted by the FBI reportedly show that the gun was fired twice in the car — the first bullet hitting Brown in the arm, the second missing him — and that Brown's blood was found on the gun, inside the car, and on Wilson's uniform.
Wilson then allegedly exited his vehicle and repeatedly fired at Brown as he ran away; Brown was shot a total of six times, including twice in the head. Some witnesses have reported that Brown had his hands up and told Wilson not to shoot.
Speaking to CNN, Ferguson resident and activist Angela Whitman said, "If [Michael Brown] struggled with this officer, this still does not justify why this child is not alive... If this young man did this, and struggled, that means he got free. And then witnesses said he turned around with his hands up. This kid should still be alive."
Wilson's account of the struggle could influence the St. Louis County grand jury, which will decide whether or not to indict him for the killing. Another Ferguson resident told CNN that the recent revelation was "clearly constructed and contrived to justify the killing of Mike Brown."
Rev. Al Sharpton, speaking at his National Action Network headquarters Saturday, echoed that skepticism: “You are asking me to believe that a young man that was shot and knew he didn’t have a gun ran back at you, in toward a gun that already shot him?”
Meanwhile, the residents of Ferguson are bracing for a new round of protests in the wake of the report. “I believe that when people have received [the Times] article and see what’s going on it will infuriate people and set us back,” said Rev. Carlon Lee, a Ferguson pastor, to the Daily Beast. “If there’s a non-indictment I think you’ll see an immediate uproar.” (CNN)

Compliance of checking HbA1c in a tertiary care hospital of Pakistan
Background and Objectives: The prevalence of diabetes mellitus worldwide was 171 million one and half decade ago, while the prediction is 366 million patients by 2030 and more than 640 million people by 2040. HbA1c value represents average blood glucose over the past 2-3 months and accounts for both pre-prandial and post-prandial blood glucose levels. A link between HbA1c and diabetic complications has been confirmed. In general, patients with controlled diabetes mellitus should have at least biannual testing, while patients with uncontrolled diabetes mellitus or unmet glycemic targets should be tested every three months. The objective was to see compliance of checking HbA1c in tertiary care hospital of a developing world.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study done from 1st February 2019 to 31st March 2019 in the Department of Medicine and Surgery, The Aga Khan University Hospital, Karachi. All patients of age 18 years and above, admitted with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) from 1st February 2019 to 31st March 2019 were included. If HbA1c was less than 7% the patients were labelled as having controlled DM, otherwise, uncontrolled DM. If HbA1c of patients with controlled DM was not checked in last six months and if HbA1c of patients with uncontrolled DM was not checked in last three months then it was labelled as non-compliance of checking HbA1c.
Results: Out of 1732 diabetic patients only 94 patients fulfilled inclusion criteria. Out of these 94 patients 43 (45.7%) were male. Mean HbA1c was 7.90% (1.4) and 69 (73.4%) patients had uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Overall, the compliance of checking HbA1c was 58.5%. In uncontrolled diabetes mellitus patients, the compliance of checking HbA1c was 45% and in controlled diabetes mellitus patients the compliance was 96%.
Conclusion: The compliance of checking HbA1c is inadequate in diabetic inpatients. The considerable prevalence of diabetes and the benefits of timely interventions in diagnosed patients to prevent complications suggest the need for a comprehensive awareness among the doctors for checking HbA1c.

Lil Wayne Named Songwriter of the Year, Ludacris Honored With President’s Award At 2014 BMI Awards [Photos]
Before the award show frenzy this past weekend fully catapulted, the 2014 BMI Awards, which specializes in saluting the top Hip-Hop and R&B talent annually, was in full effect.
Broadcast Music, Inc.®, (BMI®), the global leader in music rights management, presented the BMI President’s Award to Christopher “Ludacris” Bridges at the 2014 BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards, held at the Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles on August 22. The star-studded event celebrates the songwriters, producers and publishers of the most-performed R&B/hip-hop songs of the previous year.
Ludacris was honored for his outstanding achievement in songwriting and his profound global influence on culture and the entertainment industry. As the 2014 President’s Award recipient, Ludacris joins an elite list of previous honorees that includes will.i.am, Adam Levine, Carlos Vives, Taylor Swift and Pitbull.
The night’s top honoree got the crowd moving with a medley of his greatest hits including “Fantasy,” “How Low Can You Go,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Area Codes,” and “Yeah,” joined by special guest Mystikal.
The evening also featured a slew of performances: rapper TeeFlii and DJ Goofy delivered “24 Hours”; Tamar Braxton offered “Love and War”; and a special set by DJ Mustard and YG.
Additional top honors were presented at the awards ceremony: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ “Can’t Hold Us” earned the Song of the Year prize; Lil Wayne was crowned the Songwriter of the Year for penning hits “Ball,” “Bandz A Make Her Dance,” “Beware,” “Love Me,” “No Worries,” and “Pop That.” DJ Mustard won the coveted Producer of the Year award and Warner-Tamerlane Publishing Corp. accepted the prestigious Publisher of the Year crystal for having 14 of the most-performed songs from the previous year.
Warner/Chappell Music (WCM), the music publishing arm of Warner Music Group, was named Publisher of the Year at last night’s BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards. In addition, WCM songwriters took home a collective 19 Most Performed Song of the Year Awards, eight of which went to Dwayne Carter AKA Lil Wayne, who was named Songwriter of the Year.
“To win Publisher of the Year at the BMI R&B/Hip-Hop Awards is an enormous accomplishment for WCM, and we couldn’t be more proud of our incredibly talented songwriters. I’d also like to thank our dedicated team for their tireless hard work, and BMI for this wonderful recognition,” said Jon Platt, President, North America, Warner/Chappell Music. “We are all humbled by what we’ve achieved together in the past couple of years. It’s been amazing to be part of our songwriters’ extraordinary creativity and success.”

The settlement Assured Guaranty Ltd. reached with Bank of America Corp. is being viewed Friday as a sign that rival bond and mortgage insurers may also be successful in their efforts to recover some of their costs from lenders.
Assured Guaranty announced the settlement, which includes a $1.1 billion cash payment from Bank of America, early Friday. The agreement concerns 29 mortgage-backed securities, insured by Assured Guaranty, where it had sought reimbursement from the bank and its Countrywide subsidiary for reasons including breaches of representations and warranties and loan-serving issues.
Assured Guaranty’s shares jumped 26.5% to $17.92 Friday. Rival bond insurer MBIA Inc. also rose, climbing nearly 20% to $10.70 as investors bet that similar efforts by MBIA to seek compensation from lenders could also prove successful.
Similarly, mortgage insurers including PMI Group Inc., Radian Group Inc. and MGIC Investment Corp. rose, though by smaller amounts. Each insured mortgages and mortgage-backed securities they now say are void because the lenders didn’t provide accurate or complete information.
MBIA Chief Financial Officer Chuck Chaplin said in a statement the Assured Guaranty settlement “is yet another affirmation of the validity of both our claims and expected recoveries related to improperly originated mortgage loans in insured securitizations.”
But ratings firm Standard & Poor’s said Friday its view that the financial guarantee market is “struggling” remains unchanged.

Bill Clinton is my hero, but on the British economy, he's still nuts
One of my earliest political memories – aged four and a half – is the election of Bill Clinton in 1992. When I was growing up, Clinton was the model American president – shiny teeth, big hair, that certain, reassuring, all-American voice. Perhaps thanks to that, I've always found him very hard to question. So it's rather depressing this morning to discover that, despite his famous election slogan (It's the economy, stupid!), Mr Clinton doesn't appear to have a clue about economics. From this clip, which the Left-wing blogosphere would be going crazy about were it not too busy lynching Rupert Murdoch, it appears Clinton doesn't just back Ed Balls – he goes much further into the economic madhouse.
Here's the key quote:
And the UK’s finding this out now. They adopted this big austerity budget. And there’s a good chance that economic activity will go down so much that tax revenues will be reduced even more than spending is cut and their deficit will increase.
This is actually crazy. Borrow more and you'll somehow borrow less. Stop spending and you'll end up spending more. But no one – not even Ed Balls – actually thinks that cutting spending will decrease tax revenues by so much that the deficit actually gets bigger. Even in traditional Keynesian models, the Government cannot spend so much that net revenues actually increase. It's logically impossible. Bill Clinton has taken a dodgy argument – that we should go easy on the spending cuts to shore up growth – and turned it into a lunatic fantasy, a sort of topsy-turvy Alice-in-Wonderland macroeconomy, where black is white and spending is cutting. By his logic, we should keep increasing spending until our deficit just goes away.
Using a Keynesian model, the Office of Budget Responsibility estimates that the fiscal multiplier is about 0.35* - which means that for every pound of spending the government cuts, the economy should shrink by about 35p. Given that the Government takes about 40p in every pound in tax, that means that tax revenues ought to fall by about 14p. So overall, the deficit is still 86p smaller than it would have been if you hadn't made any cuts at all. You might think, as Keynesians do, that taking on more debt is worth it to protect jobs in the short term. You might dispute the estimates. But even in Greece, where economic output is in freefall, spending cuts have reduced the deficit from 15.4 per cent of GDP in 2009 to 9.5 per cent now.
Bill Clinton really ought to know better. As President, he watched the US federal deficit shrink until the point where, when he left office, there was actually even a surplus. That didn't happen because he kept recklessly spending – rather, it was because he was stopped from spending by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990. Unfortunately his successor squandered the gains, just as Ed Balls and Gordon Brown did here. Let's have more of Clinton's policies and fewer of these ridiculous pronouncements.
*Update for the economics wonks: I actually made a mistake with that statistic – 0.35 is the estimate for the multiplier for VAT. Estimates of the fiscal multiplier overall, including those of the OBR, IMF and others, are closer to 0. Which makes Bill Clinton even more wrong.

Tag : footfall
Last week’s brighter weather helped drive high street footfall by 6.8% compared with the week before, when it was severely affected by heavy rain.
Severe weather hits UK footfall Subscription
Total footfall was down 5.1% year on year for the week ended 15 June, as the “relentless” rain deterred consumers from venturing out.
Footfall plummets to six-year lowSubscription
Average footfall across the UK fell 3.5% in May – the steepest decline in six years, data from Springboard and the British Retail Consortium (BRC) shows.
Fashion sales up despite decline in footfallSubscription
Fashion sales rose 3.3% year on year for the week ended 27 May.
Footfall down as shoppers avoid high street Subscription
Footfall across the UK was down 2.5% year on year for the week to 18 May, and the high street was hit the hardest.

Retailers at Coal Drops Yard have described the shopping destination as “a dream that’s not materialised” as they struggle with “bleak” levels of footfall six months after it opened in London’s King’s Cross.

Indeed, in general terms, it seems from the New Testament that the less we have to do with the magistrate, the better it will be for us.(source R. Scott Clark)
That's the same R. Scott Clark who was recently stumping for civil magistrate on his blog as discussed at this link.
Clark further states:
Nevertheless, when it comes to the visible, institutional church, the Scriptures enjoin on us an attitude of submission and a desire to protect those who look after the welfare of our souls that it does not require of us regarding the civil magistrate, who looks after our outward, common, shared life. The magistrate, in his office, is not enjoined to pray for us.I respond:
a) The duty of submission is a mutual duty of the brethren, not a one-way duty toward elders.
Peter, in his first catholic epistle, says:
1 Peter 5:5Likewise, Paul teaches us:
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
b) We are explicitly told to submit ourselves unto those who have worldly authority:
That same Peter in the same book we mentioned above - earlier in the book - says:
1 Peter 2:13-14Likewise, still earlier:
Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.
1 Peter 2:17Similarly:
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king.
Colossians 3:22-24Indeed, these commands are quite closely paired with obedience to the Lord.
Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God; and whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
c) Clark seems to have in mind the following passage from Hebrews:
Hebrews 13:17-18But this resembles Paul's exhortation regarding kings:
Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you. Pray for us: for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.
1 Timothy 2:1-4Incidentally, the structure of Hebrews 13 is quite beautiful - it includes "Remember them which have the rule over you ... Obey them that have the rule over you ... Salute all them that have the rule over you ...."
I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
d) Furthermore, while there may not be an explicit command for kings to pray for those entrusted to them, that surely is a logical inference to be drawn from the duties of superiors to inferiors.
e) Moreover, the Scriptures do explicitly norm kings and those in authority:
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
f) Certainly, we should not fall into the opposite extreme from Clark, of some kind of democratic congregationalism and denial that those who have rule over us in the church do not have any rule over us in the church. I hope no one will take my criticism of one imbalance to suggest the opposite imbalance.
g) Rather, neither magistrates nor elders of the church are priests whose job it is to stand between us and God. While those who rule over us bring the Word of God to us and set a good example for us (Hebrews 13:7) the great Shepherd of the sheep is Christ (Hebrews 13:20). Christ is Lord over all - both Lord of the Sword and the Gospel. The cattle on a thousand hills are his.

If you want to try and start taking control of your brand, then it is essential that you take action now. If you don’t, then you may find that things end up slipping from beneath you and that it becomes even more difficult for you to make the kind of changes you need.
It’s so important that you outline all of the parameters regarding your brand and how you would like it to be presented. Try and lay out the rules you would like your brand to satisfy, including how clear your logo is, the image rights you have and more. If you can take the time to write down all of this information, then you may find that you always have it in an accessible format, and this can help you out a lot when it comes to your business.
Bring your Team on Board
Rules tend to work best when everyone is able to know why they are there. If possible, you need to try and set rules as to who can use assets and why. You also need to explain some of the rationales behind it. If you can take the time to know the rules, then this can help your team to make fast decisions and it will also help them to avoid making poor choices in the future.
Be Sure to Include Others
The line of communication between a supplier and a consultant is not always as direct as it could be. If you involve third parties and if you provide easy access to things such as brand materials, then this will help you out in the long run. It will also help you to make the most out of your brand overall. Ideally, you should also be trying to incorporate your customers when it comes to your branding strategy. Developing software to host your community yourself or use Disciple’s pre-made system is usually the best way for you to do this, so be sure to explore that if you can.
Define your Workflow
Workflows that have clear points of action can help your team to make the best choices regarding the way that they use assets. It can also help them to understand the general scope of their task as well. Transparency when it comes to workflow in general can also aid with things such as collaboration, so make sure that you take note of this and that you also make sure that everyone is on the same page.
Consistency is key when it comes to your company brand. You have to make sure that you are doing everything you can to monitor how your brand appears across all channels, and in different countries too. If you can do this, then you will soon see that it is easier than ever for you to make the right choices. This is one of the best ways for you to build customer trust too, so be mindful of that and always make sure that your choices align with your values.

Despite the fact I have yet to read any of the Spiderwick series..I thought the previews of the first movie looked promising, full of adventure and derring-do in a PG world, nice and safe.
Well if the movie matches the score,the Spiderwick Chronicles will be much darker and interesting to look at. My favorite film composer,James Horner,has created a most brooding and deeper score then you think this film can handle. Its a fast and very brisk score with lush strings and heavy brass on most of the CD. There is no light or airy “feel good” theme, mostly more of “what will happen next” type of suspense.
You can tell Horner has taken this project to heart,his score is inventive and creative..it showcases Horner’s comeback from many poor efforts of the past 2-4 years. Simon Rhodes did a masterful job recording and mixing this,its a very crisp recording indeed. With such a fine score in hand, Paramount should have high hopes for the movie featuring the fine young actor, Freddie Highmore.

EDITING MOLLY'S BLOG-INTERUM REPORT:
It's a long hard road we travel. I am only half way through the editing of the general 'Links' section, and I'm already aware that separating off the Canadian and other links is going to be totally insufficient for clarity. I'll continue on with this, going through other sections as well such as 'Anarchist Music' or 'Liens En Français' amongst others with this method, as well as beginning to separate off the texts section- which I continue to grow- into particular authors and others. Still...I'm obviously going to have to subdivide further. So much for getting this project done before the New Year. Still...it has to be done eventually.

I’m obsessed with crocheted blankets right now. Shortly after I finished the Coast Ripples afghan, I started the Attic 24 Granny Stripe blanket. For this particular project, I like having a predetermined sequence of colors to follow. I enjoy not having to think at all about which color goes well with what, and it’s fun to see the big picture unfold in a paint-by-numbers sort of way.
I’ve also been spending a lot of time daydreaming about making another granny square afghan, especially after seeing Rosina’s lovely blanket on Zeens and Roger. Then I have to remind myself that a) I’m trying to be more disciplined about having less WIPs, b) I don’t enjoy weaving in tail ends, and c) a blanket made entirely of granny squares would mean a shit ton of tail ends and heartache. The last granny square afghan that I made still has half its tail ends hanging out.
Anyway, so there’s all that, and then another part of me wants to just start casting on for a new pair of socks.

Skip to comments.Canada OKs oil pipeline to the Pacific Coast
Posted on 06/18/2014 5:31:07 AM PDT by thackney
Canadas government on Tuesday approved a proposed pipeline to the Pacific Coast that would allow oil to be shipped to Asia, a major step in the countrys efforts to diversify its oil industry.
The approval Tuesday was expected. Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper has been a staunch supporter of Enbridges proposed Northern Gateway pipeline after the U.S. delayed a decision on TransCanadas Keystone XL pipeline that would take oil from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Enbridges pipeline would transport 525,000 barrels of oil a day from Albertas oil sands to the Pacific to deliver oil to Asia, mainly energy-hungry China.
(Excerpt) Read more at fuelfix.com ...
It’s a good thing that oil is going to China and not to the USA. China needs jobs and industrial production. The US needs to protect the environment.
Can’t blame them. Must be getting tired of getting snubbed by Obamboozler.
*facepalm* why are we selling to the enemy?
The title should be CANADA GIVES UP ON AMERICA
Barack Obama, The Great Prevaricator Himself, has won by default.
Of course he couldn’t have done it without his loyal band of butt kissing journalists and newsreaders to spin the story and cover up his lies, ineptitude and evil intent.
This makes both China and Obama very happy.
However, you are right, whoever lines up first with a tanker at Kitimat gets first dibs.
China, India, Russia have no interest in climate change. They want to prosper. You can deduce what Obama’s plan is.
Because Canadian oil sold to China helps prop up OPEC export prices thereby providing the DNC continued campaign contributions.
Obama would rather have our $Dollars go to people that hate us than to our neighbors.
This cannot be emphasized enough.
And it's best that more oil go to the biggest polluter.
Because Canadian oil sold to China helps prop up OPEC export prices
- - - - - -
More oil sold on the export market either decreases OPEC prices or their quantity of oil sold.
Report: The U.S. is about to become a titan of unprecedented proportions in the oil market
Its encouraging news, then, that the United States is on track to become the world biggest oil exporter by 2020
BS. No data or analysis shows that claim. Producer, maybe, exporter, no freaking way.
To support their claim, the link to the Wall Street Journal article that says:
“The use of techniques such as “fracking” to unlock previously inaccessible oil reserves in the U.S. have transformed the country’s oil industry, putting it on track to become the world’s largest oil producer by 2020, according to the IEA.”
IEA Sees Spread of Shale Revolution Before End of Decade
As I said, producer, not exporter.
And the equivalent of cannon fodder that vote for Obama believe that.
so much for peak oil alarmists. They never contemplated fracking and in 50 years there will be another technology nobody is aware of today. Technology is a wonderful thing in a free enterprise system.
I find this confusing. When Governor Palin said, “drill, baby, drill,” the far left assured us that new production couldn’t change supply for 20 years. How is it that new production has changed supply dramatically in only a few years?
Socialist Canada votes for pipeline WORK for their Nation, while Communist Obamanation Democrats choose to regulate to NOT create WORK within the XL Pipeline in the former USA.
Most social engineering articles are about why The Federal Government is not forcing Businesses to give more jobs to people.
IOW, the people view a job as an entitlement that comes from the Federal Government forcing greedy businesses to pay their fair share so that everyone has a living wage.
The Reality is that the Federal Government is the primary restrictor of WORK that is allowed to be done in America.
The Federal Politicians in both parties speak of getting the economy going again while they spend themselves into bankruptcy 60 % into each Fiscal Year.
The Federal politicians in both parties speak of creating jobs, while paying the salaries of Regulators to write Regulations that restrict WORK that is allowed to be done in America.
Without an increase in WORK, there will be no increase in JOBS.
Those who oppose WORK thus oppose JOBS.
Right now, We, The Taxpayers, have 40 % more Federal Government than we can afford.
Right now, We, The People, have two political parties, the GOP-E and the Obama Democrats, that do not put the US Constitution to WORK.
It is time, - - - - time for a change.
Supply and demand are alien concepts to our enlighten marxists friends. They know better than you do, we are being treated as less than serfs.
“...the far left assured us that new production couldnt change supply for 20 years.”
They lied. Imagine that...
(But, I know you knew that already. :-)
Oil is a commodity. This means the more there is available to the world market(no matter where it goes)potentially decreases the price. Supply goes up, demand stays constant, price goes down(economics 101). The important thing is the Canadians are going to decrease the cost/barrel of getting this oil/commodity delivered to a potential refinery somewhere in the world. IF the Chinese/Indians/Japanese buy the Canadian oil, then the Iranian & Venezuelan heavy crude oil has to be cheaper or they will need to sell it to someone else. The more oil on the world market that is not in control of OPEC is a good thing for all the consuming countries. It is a bad thing for Russia, Iran, Venezuela, and other countries that have high production costs.
Another point, just because this oil gets to the coast of BC at Kitimat does not mean it is ONLY going to Asia.
Much of this product could end up in refineries in WA, OR and California. However, it would potentially compete with oil coming from Alaska.
I never saw that claim. What was said, and true, is that a place like ANWR would take ~10 years to bring into production from the day the government decided they would allow leasing.

Who here remembers the 80s and 90s? What a terrible time for the greater NYC area. It was ridden with crime, prostitution and poverty. Heck, even places like Times Square were considered somewhat dangerous to step foot in. Fortunately, these areas have done a complete 180-degree turn. But the place that has experienced the most spectacular turnaround? Brooklyn, NY.
If you thought places like the Bronx and Washington heights were bad, then you weren’t paying attention to Brooklyn. In other places in NYC, at least the police could somewhat manage crime levels. It was said that back in the 80s and 90s the police wouldn’t dare step foot into Brooklyn for fear of losing their lives. We don’t know what exactly happened but we’re not complaining. Brooklyn is now a go-to destination for people worldwide, and this is phenomenal. There is so much culture and history in Brooklyn that it’s a shame people missed out on this for decades. Here are some of the best things to see in Brooklyn.
No, not the elephant. DUMBO stands for Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass. It was once an industrial neighborhood. Actually, “neighborhood” is being nice. You wouldn’t have dared to cross into this area 20-30 years ago. Since it’s transformation, it has received a great name for being trendy, full of art and spectacular views of the city. Furthermore, the pizza there is to die for.
The Brooklyn Bridge
Aside from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most iconic bridges in America. There are pedestrian walkways on the bridge. Go for a stroll and see up close magnificent views of the surrounding boroughs.
The New York Transit Museum
This is probably the best thing on this list. Although the NYC MTA system has a bad name, the New York Transit Museum shows the powerhouse the MTA used to be. It is located in a decommissioned subway station and comes with a collection of old subway cars.
Other Notable Mentions
There are a myriad of places to see if Brooklyn. The above were just the top 3. You should, however, also consider visiting Coney Island, the Brooklyn Flea market, the Brooklyn Historical Society, and the House of Yes.
If you choose to plan your next vacation to Brooklyn, make sure to visit the above locations. If you need a place to stay that’s close to DUMBO, the Brooklyn Bridge and the New York Transit Museum, along with the other notable mentions, you should check out the beautiful Condor Hotel in Williamsburg. It’s relatively well-priced, is centrally located, and is especially close to DUMBO where you’ll likely spend the majority of your time. Good luck with your visit to Brooklyn!

Covering topics ranging from Iran to sequestration, Virginia’s 11th congressional district Rep. Gerry Connolly (D) spent an hour presenting and answering questions for voters at a B’nai B’rith International brunch held at the Jewish Community Center of Northern Virginia on Sunday.
Despite briefly touching on the congressman’s record on Israel and Iran, domestic and local issues, such as sequestration, jobs and the budget deficit, most concerned the 50 or so attendees.
Connolly’s district represents the third largest number of federal employees and contractors in the Virginia, and the congressman told the audience the anti-federal government political climate in the nation today is counterproductive – even if the goal of those wanting the shrink the government is to cut the nation’s debt.
“It’s a deliberate attempt to allow things to atrophy because we don’t like government,” he said. “We don’t believe in it. And that is a tragedy when we look out into the future, and it directly affects things like the debt.
“Here in Northern Virginia – what created our wealth, what created our quality of life – is that partnership in terms of federal investment streams that our private sector has been able to” take advantage of and flourish.
Rather than further cripple federal agencies, Connolly said that Congress needs to work to strengthen and modernize them, so that rather than making them bigger or smaller, the agencies can become more efficient and accountable.
Using the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as an example, he pointed to the billions of dollars in unpaid taxes and fraud that the IRS fails to pursue because of lack of resources. Connolly said that annually, unpaid taxes total approximately $350 billion. Multiplying that number by 10 years, he said that this revenue would be able to make up a substantial portion of America’s debt.
“Think about it. We don’t have to slash investments. We don’t have to raise anyone’s taxes. Just collect the money that’s owed,” said Connolly.
Elected to Congress in 2008, Connolly has been a fixture in area politics since 1995 when he was first elected to the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors.
Speaking about his support of Israel, Connolly, who has visited Israel six times, said that he does whatever he can to strengthen the already solid relationship between the United States and Israel.
“My voting record is 100 percent pro-Israel,” Connolly said. “I was a staffer in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee for 10 years, and I actually helped write the bill that provided loan forgiveness for Israel and aid.”
Yet, Connolly said that on some occasions, Israeli leaders also deserve criticism, specifically when he feels that they’re undermining prospects for a two-state solution.
“Israel is no more perfect a nation, and its political leadership no more so than any other nation,” he said, “and I don’t necessarily hear criticism as being somehow disloyal and undermining the relationship. My observation is, from my six trips, that debate is very robust. But I don’t see that as my role.”
He considers himself supportive of AIPAC, but he also received campaign donations from JStreetPAC and an individual donation from JStreet President Jeremy Ben-Ami. Connolly does not view working with the two opposing organizations as a conflict, adding that he doesn’t see his role as being critical of the different political positions AIPAC and J Street want to carve out for themselves.
“I see my role as protecting American interests in the region and to further those interests,” Connolly told Washington Jewish Week after the event. “My business is to try to find allies I can work with on the Middle East and related issues. I work with AIPAC and I work with J Street when I can.”
Connolly’s district also covers a large Turkish community, and in Congress, he is one of the co-chairs of the Caucus on U.S.-Turkey Relations and Turkish Americans. Worsening ties between Turkey and Israel, fanned by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, has on occasion elicited a response from Connolly to the Turkish government, warning that if the trend continues, it will only hurt Turkey’s image in the United States, as he will not sacrifice his relationship with Israel.
During Operation Protective Edge, the recent war between Israel and Gaza, Erdoğan told supporters that Israel’s atrocities against the Gazans have surpassed the atrocities of Adolf Hitler.
In response to those and other comments, Connolly and other caucus leaders directed a stern letter to Erdoğan on July 29, calling the Turkish president’s remarks anti-Semitic, “historically inaccurate and provocative.”
Connolly, in an interview, said he stands by that letter and criticized Turkey’s inaction toward the terrorist organization, the Islamic State (IS), as it threatens the Syrian-Kurdish city of Kobani, just across the Syrian-Turkish border, where Turkish troops are amassed.
“I am a critic of the Turkish government’s reluctance to join in our coalition because I think in the long term, it’s not in their interest to do what they’re doing right now,” he said. “I think the Turkish government is holding back and making preconditions largely as a bit of a smokescreen, because Kobani is a Kurdish-Syrian area and he doesn’t want any kind of spillover with his own Kurds in Turkey. I understand that sensitivity, but Kobani falling is in no one’s interest, including Turkey’s.”
The brunch was originally scheduled to be a candidate forum, but Connolly’s GOP opponent, Suzanne Scholte, did not reply to the organizers’ invitation.

There’s a lot being written about the CoronaVirus….how to thrive in quarantine, how to do social distancing, what the latest statistics are, what’s shut down, etc. But I want to invite you to go inward and examine your heart and how this new environment has affected your motives and heart. As I reflect, it has certainly forced me to look inward at my heart.
First, my heart feels frustrated and a bit out of control. Not so much out of fear, but just from the idea that something’s happening to affect me that I am not able to control. I am realizing that my heart and head are conditioned to think I’m in control. I make plans and just assume it’ll all go as I want.
- We’ll land 3 more clients next quarter.
- I’ll go work out tonight at the gym.
- I’m sure we’ll be able to go on vacation next month.
I’m reminded in this crisis that I tend to face up to life as though I’m in control.
I tend to think I can will things to happen with brut force. It takes a crisis like this for me to remember that my future and my plans are all in His hands and I am at His mercy. This is a humbling realization.
Sometimes I think my heart is like that of the rich fool who said in Luke 12:18-19, “I’ll build big barns to hold all my excess grain. Then, I’ll retire and have a good life!” Little did he know that he would soon lose his very life.
Last week, I surprisingly found myself starting to say, “Let’s do ___, if God wills it”. That’s progress!
Second, I must confess that I had a fairly selfish initial response to changing anything about my schedule or my life due to this virus. This won’t affect me! Why should I change anything? This is for others in China. I’m not affected by this. Business will go on. We’ll be fine.
We’ll maybe not.
I’ve since woken up to the realities of this virus, but my early response was pretty self-oriented. I wasn’t really curious about learning what I could do to best support myself and others.
I’m reminded in this crisis that my natural tendency is toward selfishness.
Lastly, in this environment of a reduced schedule, I find that I easily waste time. I’m looking at World-o-Meter Corona web stats or watching YouTube videos of the “Top 10 Boxing Knockouts” or Sonny and Cher on David Letterman and other such non-sense.
However, I now feel a desire in my heart to exercise more, rest more, spend time with the Lord, volunteer to serve the elderly, rake leaves, sit and think, take a walk with a friend, spend time with family, turn off the TV and write more.
I’m reminded in this crisis that my natural tendency is toward waste and sloth.
I desperately need God’s help to not devolve into a mindless, selfish waste of time. Time is precious, life is precious and I am not in charge. I can barely control myself, not to mention life. I want to have a more humble heart as a result of this virus.
Instead of “I’m in control” – I want – “God I need to trust you today.”
Instead of “This won’t hurt me!” – I want – “God how should I see this?”
Instead of “I’ll binge on YouTube!” – I want – “God what do you have for me today?”
So how is your heart? What is God impressing on you? What idol or fear or human tendency are you now seeing as a result of this?
I pray that the Lord meets you where you are and that you are able to rest in Him during this time of isolation, quiet, less noise and less activity. I need that and I pray that we all draw closer to Him however He leads each of us to do that. I pray for a genuine humility as we move forward. In the name of Jesus, Amen

Vincent van Gogh (March 30, 1853 - July 29, 1890) was born on 30 March 1853 in Zundert, a village in the southern province of North Brabant. He was the eldest son of the Reverend Theodorus van Gogh (1822 - 1885) and Anna Cornelia
Carbentus (1819 - 1907), whose other children were Vincent's sisters Elisabeth, Anna, and Wil, and his brother Theo and Cor. Little is known about Vincent's early years other than that he was a quiet child with no obvious artistic talent. He
himself would later look back on his happy childhood with great pleasure.
Van Gogh received a fragmentary education: one year at the village school in Zundert, two years at a boarding school in Zevenbergen, and eighteen months at a high school in Tilburg. At sixteen he began working at the Hague gallery of the French art dealers Goupil et Cie., in which his uncle Vincent was a partner. His brother Theo, who was born 1 May 1857, later worked for the same firm. In 1873 Goupil's transferred Vincent to London, and two years later they moved him to Paris, where he lost all ambition to become an art dealer. Instead, he immersed himself in religion, threw out his modern, worldly book, and became "daffy with piety", in the words of his sister Elisabeth. He took little interest in his work, and was dismissed from his job at the beginning of 1876.
Van Gogh then took a post as an assistant teacher in England, but, disappointed by the lack of prospects, returned to Holland at the end of the year. He now decided to follow in his father's footsteps and become a clergyman. Although disturbed by his fanaticism and odd behavior, his parents agreed to pay for the private lessons he would need to gain admission to the university. This proved to be another false start. Van Gogh abandoned the lessons, and after brief training as an evangelist went to the Borinage coal-mining region in the south of Belgium. His ministry among the miners led him to identify deeply with the workers and their families. In 1897, however, his appointment was not renewed, and his parents despaired, regarding him as a social misfit. In an unguarded moment, his father even spoke of committing him to a mental asylum.
Vincent, too, was at his wits' end, and after a long period of solitary soul-searching in the Borinage he decided to follow Theo's advice and become an artist. His earlier desire to help his fellowman was an evangelist gradually developed into an
urge, as he later wrote, to leave mankind "some memento in the form of drawings of paintings - not made to please any particular movement, but to express a sincere human feeling."
His parents could not go along with this latest change of course, and financial responsibility for Vincent passed to his brother Theo, who was now working in the Paris gallery of Boussod, Valadon et Cie., the successor to Goupil's. It was because of Theo's loyal support that Van Gogh later came to regard his oeuvre as the fruits of his brother's efforts on his behalf. A lengthy correspondence between the two brothers (which began in August 1872) would continue until the last days of Vincent's life.
When Van Gogh decided to become an artist, no one, not even himself, suspected that he had extraordinary gifts. His evolution from an inept but impassioned novice into a truly original master was remarkably rapid. He eventually proved to have an exceptional feel for bold, harmonious color effects, and an infallible instinct for choosing simple but memorable compositions.
In order to prepare for his new career, Van Gogh went to Brussels to study at the academy, but left after only nine months. There he got to know Anthon van Rappard, who was to be his most important artist friend during his Dutch period.
In April 1881, Van Gogh went to live with his parents in Etten in North Brabant, where he set himself the task of learning how to draw. He experimented endlessly with all sorts of drawing materials, and concentrated on mastering technical aspects of his craft like perspective, anatomy, and physiognomy. Most of his subjects were taken from peasant life.
At the end of 1881 he moved to The Hague, and there, too, he concentrated mainly on drawing. At first he took lessons from Anton Mauve, his cousin by marriage, but the two soon fell out, partly because Mauve was scandalized by Vincent's relationship with Sien Hoornik, a pregnant prostitute who already had an illegitimate child. Van Gogh made a few paintings while in The Hague, but drawing was his main passion. In order to achieve his ambition of becoming a figure painter, he drew from the live model whenever he could.
In September 1883 he decided to break off the relationship with Sien and follow in the footsteps of artists like Van Rappard and Mauve by trying his luck in the picturesque eastern province of Drenthe, which was fairly inaccessible in those days. After three months, however, a lack of both drawing materials and models forced him to leave. He decided once again to move in with his parents, who were now living in the North Brabant village of Nuenen, near Eindhoven.
In Nuenen, Van Gogh first began painting regularly, modeling himself chiefly on the French painter Jean-Francois Millet (1814 - 1875), who was famous throughout Europe for his scenes of the harsh life of peasants. Van Gogh set to work with an iron will, depicting the life of the villagers and humble workers. he made numerous scenes of weavers. In May 1884, he moved into rooms he had rented from the sacristan of local Catholic church, one of which he used as his studio.
At the end of 1884 he began painting and drawing a major series of heads and work-roughened peasant hands in preparation for a large and complex figure piece that he was planning. In April 1885 this period of study came to fruition in the masterpiece of his Dutch period, The Potato Eaters
In the summer of that year, he made a large number of drawings of the peasants working in the fields. The supply of models dried up, however, when the local priest forbade his parishioners to pose for the vicar's son. He turned to painting landscape instead, inspired in part by a visit to recently opened Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
|Vincent van Gogh's Birthplace|
In 1885, feeling the need for a proper artistic training, Van Gogh enrolled at the academy in Antwerp. He found the lessons rather tedious, but was greatly impressed by the city and its museums. He fell under the spell of
Peter Paul Rubens' palette and brushwork, and also discovered Japanese prints.
In early 1886 Van Gogh went to live with his brother in Paris. There, at last, he was confronted with the full impact of modern art and especially with the recent work of the Impressionists Claude Monet, Paul Cezanne, Edouard Manet and postimpressionists Paul Gauguin. He discovered that the dark palette he had developed back in Holland was hopelessly out-of-date. In order to brighten it up, he began painting still lifes of flowers. The search for his own idiom led him to experiment with impressionist and postimpressionist techniques and to study the prints of Japanese masters. During his time in Paris he made friends with such artists as Paul Gauguin, Emile Bernard, Paul Signac, and Georges Seurat. Within two years Van Gogh had come to terms with the latest development and had forged his own, highly personal style.
At the beginning of 1888, Van Gogh, now a mature artist, went south to Arles, in Provence, where he at last began to feel confident about his choice of career. He set out to make a personal contribution to modern art with his daring color combinations. He was swept away by the landscape around Arles. In the spring he painted numerous scenes of fruit trees in blossom, and in the summer the yellow wheat fields. Although he had some difficulty finding models, he did make portraits, among which were those of the Roulin family. It was typical of Van Gogh's faith in his own abilities that he decided not to try to sell any work yet but to wait until he had thirty top-class pictures with which he could announce himself to the world. He cherished the hope that a number of other artists would come and join him in Arles, where they could all live and work together. The idea seemed to get off to a promising start when Gauguin arrived in October 1888.
Toward the end of the year, however, his optimism was rudely shattered by the first signs of his illness, a type of epilepsy that took the form of delusions and psychotic attacks. It was during one of those seizures that he cut off his left earlobe. Gauguin made a hasty departure and Van Gogh's dreams of an artist's colony disappeared.
In April 889 he went to nearby Saint-Remy, where he entered the Saint-Paul-de-Mausole asylum as a voluntary patient. Van Gogh was unable to work where when suffering from bouts of his illness. If he felt well enough, though, he went out to draw and paint in the garden or surroundings of the asylum. His use of color, which had often been so intense in Arles, became more muted, and he tried to make his brushwork more graphic. In the closing months of the year, he had a success when two of his paintings were shown at the fifth exhibition of Societe des artistes independents.
Van Gogh also made a large number of "translations in color" of prints by some of his favorite artists, like Millet and Eugene Delacroix. He found them consoling, and they helped him keep in practice.
In January 1890 the critic Albert Aurier published an enthusiastic article about Van Gogh's work.
The artist left Saint-Remy in May 1890 and went north again, this time to the rustic village of Auvers-sur-Oise, near Paris. On his way he stopped off in Paris to call on Theo, his wife Johanna, and their infant son Vincent Willem.
Although he now had a small but growing circle of admirers, Van Gogh had lost his original passion. He wrote to his brother:
I feel - a failure. That's it as far as I'm concerned - I feel that this is the destiny that I accept, that will never change. ”
He nevertheless continued working hard during his two months in Auvers, producing dozens of paintings and drawings. On 27 July 1890, Vincent van Gogh was shot in the stomach, and passed away in the early morning of 29 July 1890 in his room at the Auberge Ravoux in the village of Auvers-sur-Oise. Although official history maintains that Van Gogh committed suicide, the latest research reveals that Van Gogh's death might be caused by an accident.
Theo, who had stored the bulk of Vincent's work in Paris, died six months later. His widow, Johanna van Gogh-Bonger (1862 - 1925), returned to Holland with the collection, and dedicated herself to getting her brother-in-law the recognition he deserved. In 1914, with his fame assured, she published Vincent van Gogh's letters between the two brothers.

How can I observe the effects of electrostatic forces using household objects?
- Electric charge
- Electrostatic forces
- Nylon hair comb (or a latex balloon)
- A water faucet
- Comb your hair with a nylon comb. If you don’t have a comb, you can also rub your head with an inflated latex balloon instead. As you rub the comb or balloon to your head, it builds up an electric charge on the object due to the movement of electrons between the object and your head.
- Go to the faucet and turn it on so that a narrow stream of water flows out. Try to make the stream as thin as possible, while still maintaining a steady, smooth flow of water.
- With the water running, move the comb or balloon close to the stream of water, but be careful not to actually let the comb or balloon touch the water. As it gets close, the stream of water should be deflected toward the comb or balloon. This is because the charge in the object (comb or balloon) induces an opposite charge in the nearby water, and the object and water then experience an attractive electrostatic interaction (opposites attract).
- You can experiment with how the amount of deflection varies with the size of the stream of water from the faucet. You can also compare the ability of various objects (different combs, balloons, or different objects altogether), or vary the amount of time you rub the object in your hair.

User rating for this question
I have constant pain in my arms, legs, feet, just about everywhere. This is not new but is getting worse. The pain wakes me up at night. It really hurts when I have to get in my pickup truck (it is higher so I have to step up. Where do I start to find out what is wrong?
Posted Wed, 19 Feb 2014 in Bones, Muscles and Joints
Answered by Dr. Praveen Tayal 4 hours later
Brief Answer: Can be due to many causes. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for posting your query. I can appreciate that you are very concerned regarding the symptoms which you have noticed recently. The constant pains all over the body can be due to a recent viral infection, metabolic disorder like diabetes , irritable bowel syndrome a hormonal disturbance like thyroid imbalance fibromyalgia, nutritional deficiencies or any kind of inflammatory bowel disorder. If you have history of anxiety, it may be a factor responsible too. I would advise that you start supporting your body with good hydration, adequate sleep, a well-balanced diet and a moderate exercise regimen. Exercise is actually good for the immune system which is why I suggest it here. In addition you can supplement your diet with some Vitamin C - 1000 mg daily and consider drinking some immune boost type of tea such as Echinacea which is readily available at most supermarkets. If you do not find any changes with the aforementioned regimen say in the next 2-3 weeks, you can visit your local doctor who can start investigating for those conditions. I hope this answers your query. In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Praveen Tayal. For future query, you can directly approach me through my profile URL http://bit.ly/Dr-Praveen-Tayal

The Weekly Wrapup is an analysis of the week's insurance news from the editors of Digital Insurance.
Insurance companies are embracing the Internet of Things and connected devices at a growing rate, with the goal of learning more about policyholders' true risk and being a partner to mitigate it. But not all customers get on board easily.
This week, smart-toothbrush manufacturer and insurance-company partner Beam was criticized by a policyholder who didn't feel comfortable with sending the company data on their brushing habits. A Forbes article begs the question: When is the data-ask too much for insurance purposes?
"The scales that are traditionally applied in most branches of insurance are simple indications based on parameters that do not affect privacy much," writes Enrique Dans, professor of innovation at IE Business School. "In this sense, insurers carry out their work in an uncertain environment, they insure relatively blindly and trust that the parameters they establish allow them to approximate the probability of risk. In the internet of things age, it makes sense for insurers to gather as much information as possible about the risks they cover. Is this compatible with your customers idea of privacy?"
Insurers obviously don't want to alienate customers. But in an industry that has struggled with trust issues for years, carriers have to earn the right to access more granular data on customers. One company that has found success is HiRoad, a usage-based insurance company that launched in Rhode Island late last year, collecting data through an app. Two HiRoad customers who spoke to the Providence Journal said the company's message of helping them be a better driver to the benefit of their community resonated with them.
“I think, in general, everybody who’d sign up for it, if they were conscious of the fact that they’re being judged on the four categories, it would make the road safer for everybod," Corey Rastello told the newspaper. Isabella Cassell added that she had never thought of auto insurance as an avenue to make a positive impact on the world until HiRoad.
The reveal? HiRoad is a subsidiary of State Farm, which like many established insurance giants doesn't have a great reputation. But effective marketing research and positioning has given the insurer a path to grow its customer base while collecting important data.
To their credit, carriers aren't being shy: This week saw the announcement that Madison Mutual would partner with Roost on smarthome devices, and a partnership between HomeAdvisor warranties and Notion leak-detectors to proactively recruit plumbers to fix leaks in progress. Insurers clearly see the value to their businesses in the IoT -- the important part now is being open and credible with customers.

August 5th, 2010 will be 2 years for My Journey to Millions! To put that in perspective:
- High School was 4 years
- College was 4 Years
- Law School was 3 years
- I have been Married 2 years and 2 months
For the next couple days I am going to re-post some REALLY old posts. Today is the re-post of my first ever post. I have added some new links were applicable.
Repost of my First Ever Post
I figured I needed to start somewhere so why not lay it on the line for the readers of this blog, while keeping myself accountable in the months and years to come.
Just recently married (a little over six weeks ago) and The Wife and I decided to get serious about what we are going to do with debt and our money in general. We are attempting to combine finances (that is a ridiculously long post in of itself) while getting into our first goal, the subject of this post
LETS ACTIVELY GET RID OF DEBT
Like most people, I am not a naturally frugal person (lucky for me my wife is – but more on her in a later post); unlike some extreme PF Bloggers, I am not looking to live off rice and beans until I amass a cool million in my qualified money that I can’t touch until 59 and a half. Maybe because I am relatively young (26) but I just don’t want to live that way. With that being said I am participating in my employer’s 401(k) up to the match, and I don’t go spending $500 on a single night out.
Regardless of my “feelings” on debt and spending, it comes down to the numbers – and these numbers HURT JUST TO WRITE.
- Approximately $16,800 in credit card Debt!
- Approximately $250,000 in Secured Debt (House Mortgage and my car – wife leases)
- $60,000 – $70,000 Law School Loans
With that being said we have over $XX,XXX in non-qualified savings (high yield accounts – I will write a post on my love of ING in another post). Additionally, Wife has $XX,XXX or so in mutual funds, a grand or so in my tradeking brokerage account ,and lastly, I have some in retirement accounts.
First thing I did was transfer as much as possible to 0% credit cards. So 80% or so of that $16,800 is at 0% which is huge! Second thing I am in the middle of is creating a modified debt snowball. J.D. from Get Rich Slowly has a great introductory article on The Debt Snowball.
I say modified because, I KNOW the math on it debt snowball is wrong. I apply my extra money used towards debt (approximately $1,000) towards the highest aprs left that didn’t get onto a 0% card, then I will start applying that money towards the card I will lose my 0% on then attach the rest debt snowball style.
When I create the excel sheet I will post it!

Les toasts sont cuites
Maison des artistes francophone (Winnipeg)
October 29 to December 5th, 2015
A new perspective emerges when two paradigms, which are rarely juxtaposed, intersect. Louis Bouvier utilizes an overlapping methodology to construct the exhibit.
When looking at familiar objects or symbols, strong preconceived ideas about them surface. However when these ideas are contrasted with different aesthetics, eras and cultural environments, their familiar story begin to shift. For example, when looking at Been There Done That, we identify the backdrop to be a peaceful landscape where sunlight filters through the clouds to graze the earth below. The sunrays might be interpreted as the omnipresence of God looking down on earth. The wild landscape also depicts stereotypical Canadian scenery often rendered in paintings or drawings. When we read Been There Done That in the sky, the initial interpretation of the image changes; we are forced to think about the link between the words and the image and ask ourselves some questions.
With the help of familiar symbols, the exhibit draws us in easily to engage the works and allow us to decode several layers of information. The installation titled Méta comme dans le sens de Méta can be appreciated for its esthetic: the composition of the drawing, the labour intensive charcoal drawing, the fabrication and form of the coloured hands or the wax brackets that give the illusion they support the shelf above. This initial reading offers one way to appreciate the installation but if we choose to analyse it further, it is possible to realize that the drawing depicts the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in 1986 when seven individuals lost their lives. This information immediately changes the way we view the image and adds a deeper dimension to the installation. Bouvier does not expect this information to be common knowledge; rather he leaves us in a state of not knowing and allows the elements in the exhibit to come across as enigmas with no answers. In this way, the exhibit will speak differently to everyone based on his or her life experiences.
Another layer of information, with a touch of humour, can be decoded in the way the exhibit is put together. When looking at Méta comme dans le sens de Méta, the shelf is purposely mounted across the drawing so that it reads as a backdrop for the sculptures that are placed in front of it. Bouvier has a way of leveling hierarchies even amongst the elements grouped in an installation. This is also why the light in the gallery is kept flat and uniform.

I am sorry to say I found the recent Orlando Sentinel editorial “Florida should end religious exemptions to measles vaccine”1 to be really crass and heartless in tone.
Tired points were once again trotted out (movement stems from “false” study in The Lancet, no link between autism and vaccines, Jenny McCarthy’s “propaganda,” anti-vaxxers promote junk science, their fears are unfounded, their motives are questionable, and so on).
What I’ve discovered in this movement is that “anti-vaxxers” have real concerns, but no one outside the movement will listen. The media just demonizes these parents, then moves on.
Many were once pro-vaccine parents; they followed guidelines and got their children immunized, but their children got profoundly ill or died after vaccination. Since 1988, the federal government has paid nearly $4 billion to 6,000 people through the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.2
These people now network and disseminate multiple studies and related information from credible sources in the U.S. and around the world.
These studies clearly detail problems with the ingredients of the vaccines themselves; how powerfully they can affect the brain, how problematic multiple injections are; how sensitive children can be to the shots; how the medical establishment treats the families once they’ve encountered a health problem they believe might stem from the vaccines; and many other issues. Most vaccine-injured children never recover.
They share their own family experiences with vaccine injury, what it’s like as parents of vaccine-injured children, or to have experienced a death due to vaccines. This is a sub-culture that can discuss VAERS, NCVIA, VICP, what vaccine package inserts actually say, vaccine ingredients, excipients, contaminants, adjuvants, asymptomatic transmission, shedding, herd immunity, adverse reactions, titers and immunity factors.
And before you can say, “But they’re not doctors,” understand that many of them are doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals who share concerns with parents.
Several different metals are included in the making of some vaccines, and what those metals can do as they cross into brain tissues of developing children have health professionals and researchers extremely concerned. Yes, there are legitimate studies that raise questions as to the safety of this practice. I haven’t yet mentioned the very serious concerns people have with including human tissue, bovine tissue, monkey tissue, etc., in the vaccine ingredients.
Safety studies in this field are very controversial, and with good reasons. “Anti-vaxxer” activist groups, such as Physicians for Informed Consent, the National Vaccine Information Center and the Children’s Health Defense led by Robert Kennedy Jr., fight for more and better studies on all these issues to be conducted—separately from the influence of the pharmaceutical industry that produces vaccines.
The public doesn’t get to see this side of the “anti-vaxxers.” I’ve never seen a news account or an opinion piece in any mainstream press that portrayed these knowledgeable, concerned parents and professionals as anything other than brainwashed, uninformed trouble-makers that want to endanger everyone for their own selfish reasons.
The Sentinel’s editorial opinion about Florida’s religious exemptions to vaccines followed this pattern perfectly, parroting several negative stereotypes and assuming dishonest motivation on the part of some who want to be exempted for religious reasons
Everyone understands that these diseases can be deadly.
But if the formulating of the vaccines has gone awry, and there are now inherent dangers or philosophical objections, we shouldn’t pretend they don’t exist.

Free solo climbing is the act of climbing without the use of a rope or harness – of any sort. And ASN had the chance to speak with Alex Honnold, the man who recently free solo climbed El Capitan.
Located in Yosemite and standing a whopping 3,600 feet above the ground (7,569 feet above sea level), El Capitan is one of the most difficult climbs on the planet (and is only conquered by the very best climbers in the world).
Here’s what Honnold had to say about this monumental feat.
How long have you wanted to free solo climb El Capitan for?
When I first looked at El Cap eight years ago, I thought that it could be possible. Two years later, so six years ago, I started free soloing parts of it and soloing it (solo climbing includes ropes and harness, free solo climbing does not).
Fast forward to the day I did it and I was very comfortable with my route.
Was there any doubt at all?
No. On the day I did it, I was 100-percent confident and comfortable. It was all just a matter of going up there and executing. I couldn’t have been more prepared.
What are some uncontrollable factors that you have to be conscious of?
Things like ice and birds that fly really close to you. If you look at the film, you’ll see some birds flying but none of them got in my way or caught me off-guard because even if they do end up flying right in front of me, it’s pretty normal and I’m very used to it.
Everything went perfectly that day.
What have you been up to since that day?
A few things. I’m working on some climbing projects – Last winter, I went on an expedition to Antarctica. Other than that, I’ve just been soloing here and there. Just climbing and living, really …
I’ve also put a lot more time into my foundation, the Honnold Foundation.
Tell us little more about the Honnold Foundation.
My belief is that if you want people to care about the environment, you have to lift them out of poverty first. Meaning, if I want to improve the environment, I have to improve peoples’ standard of living first.
The Honnold Foundation envisions a world where all people have equal access to opportunity and live in balance with the environment. We award grants to bold and ethical organizations that drive innovation in the solar industry. In fact, we believe solar to be the best solution to global energy poverty.
One of our most notable partners is with the Solar Energy Foundation. They actually introduced a pay-as-you-go financing system for solar energy systems in Africa. Since their founding in 2006, they’ve trained 65 technicians, provided solar lights to 160 school, 53 health centers, sold over 30,000 solar lighting products throughout Ethiopia and a lot more.
Be sure to check out additional information and premiere dates of Alex Honnold’s feature film, ‘Free Solo.’

Our leftist rulers must feel that interest payments on the gargantuan debt they’ve run up aren’t sufficient to finance the military buildup by their ideological compadres in communist China; the Environmental Protection Agency (aka Employment Prevention Agency) is funneling our money directly to the ChiComs in the name of “green energy”:
The Obama EPA administrator, Lisa Jackson, who launched an enormously expensive program to make America’s minority communities green, has sent millions of taxpayer dollars to environmental causes in nations overseas, including China, Russia and India.
These foreign nations are experiencing economic growth while millions of Americans suffer from joblessness, losing their homes due to foreclosures, and watching their health care being transformed into another government entitlement program, according to political activist Joshua Tallis.
“Ranking members of the U.S. Congress Energy Committee called the program “foreign handouts” amid record deficits, soaring unemployment and a looming debt ceiling in the U.S. The money — $27 million since 2009 — has been issued by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which is headed by Ms. Jackson,” Tallis said.
Having spent itself $trillions into debt, the government doesn’t actually have any money to shower upon our communist rivals — so it borrows it from them in order to give it to them.
ChiComs aren’t the only ones aboard the EPA’s foreign gravy train:
Among the foreign handouts are $1.2 million for the United Nations to promote clean fuels, $718,000 to help China comply with two initiatives and $700,000 for Thailand to recover methane gas at pig farms, according to public-interest group’s investigation, according to the Judicial Watch blog report.
You read that correctly. While 23 million Americans are out of work due to the effect excessive government spending and regulation have had on our economy, our government sent $700,000 to Thailand to help the locals collect pig farts.
Obama uses the EPA to spread our wealth around internationally because it allows him to evade congressional oversight. Again we see that the only difference between Obamunism and dictatorship is that dictators want their own countries to be strong.
Some recipients of the regime’s largesse are closer to home:
Since being appointed EPA Administrator, Jackson has gone on a manic spending spree to bring “environmental justice” to low-income and minority communities. Under the program, dozens of left-wing groups have received millions of taxpayer dollars to help poor and impoverished people increase recycling, reduce carbon emissions through “weatherization,” participate in “green jobs” training and avoid heat stroke.
That is, farcical green excuses are being used to redistribute wealth from those who create it to Obama’s supporters.
The EPA’s budget has also surged 34% since Jackson took over to a whopping $10.3 billion.
Imagine what that budget will look like in Obama’s second term, when he has more “flexibility.”

Name: Jeanette Roxborough
Triumph over adversity is the plot line behind Jeanette Roxborough’s role as a mother to a physically challenged child — both on and off the screen.
On the Hollywood set of Bare Knuckles, an action-packed flick directed by Eric Etebari, Roxborough is in a state of controlled calm despite the long hours and fighting scenes in the exhausting California heat.
Then again, she’s only been in L.A. for a month. A month and already a starring role in a movie? It might sound like an overnight fairy tale come true, but for Roxborough, nothing could be further from the truth.
The petite 5’5” blonde, who hails from Woodville, Ont. (population 600) had been a struggling actress in Toronto for eight years with short-lived roles in shows like Mutant X and Angels In The Infield. She had also found work as a stunt person in various projects like The Tuxedo and Witchblade, the TV series.
“It’s clichéd, but true,” says Roxborough. “You really can do anything if you believe in it strongly enough.”
Those words reflect not only her career pursuits, but also her role as a single mom raising Teya, a daughter born deaf and stricken with severe cerebellar hypoplasia, a condition which compromises the growth of the brain resulting in a loss of motor skills.
“I discovered there are special people in this planet, who can help special kids,” she says referring to a 60-year-old therapist she found in Chile without the support of the Ontario health system.
After traveling to South America five times, Teya — once prescribed to a wheelchair for life — was miraculously able to walk. She was eight years old.
Their story provided inspirational fuel for Bare Knuckles. The director, who had befriended Roxborough on the set of Witchblade, cast both mother and daughter into a revised script of the movie.
Despite the desperately needed career break, Roxborough, however, was at a lull in life. Enter Toronto physical trainer and recent FAME National Lightweight Champion Jody Boynton, who whipped the actress back into shape for free. “He gave of himself and really picked me up emotionally, as did Eric, the director.”
For those that have given to Roxborough, Roxborough has made it a mission to give back. She has established a fund, www.theteyafund.org, to help financially challenged families access specialized therapies for children with special needs.
“We were all just blown away by Jeanette’s tenacity and talent, and inspired by her as a human being. Her story raised the level of our story,” sums up producer Alison Richards.
