The bandido, the harlot, the male buffoon, the female clown, the Latin lover, and the dark lady—these have been the defining, and demeaning, images of Latinos in U.S. cinema for more than a century. In this book, Charles Ramírez Berg develops an innovative theory of stereotyping that accounts for the persistence of such images in U.S. popular culture. He also explores how Latino actors and filmmakers have actively subverted and resisted such stereotyping.
In the first part of the book, Berg sets forth his theory of stereotyping, defines the classic stereotypes, and investigates how actors such as Raúl Julia, Rosie Pérez, José Ferrer, Lupe Vélez, and Gilbert Roland have subverted stereotypical roles. In the second part, he analyzes Hollywood's portrayal of Latinos in three genres: social problem films, John Ford westerns, and science fiction films. In the concluding section, Berg looks at Latino self-representation and anti-stereotyping in Mexican American border documentaries and in the feature films of Robert Rodríguez. He also presents an exclusive interview in which Rodríguez talks about his entire career, from Bedhead to Spy Kids, and comments on the role of a Latino filmmaker in Hollywood and how he tries to subvert the system.
Conclusion: The End of Stereotypes?
Charles Ramírez Berg is University Distinguished Teaching Professor and Associate Professor of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas at Austin.
The University of Texas at Austin, where I teach, happens to be an orientation center for the Fulbright Scholars Program. Every summer, scores of foreign students from around the world and in various disciplines begin their graduate study in this country by coming to campuses like the University of Texas for an introduction to U.S. higher education and American culture. After several weeks here, they go on to their respective universities across the country to commence graduate work.
On several occasions I have had the opportunity to give lectures to these students on the topic of this book, the representation of Latinos in Hollywood movies. During one of these talks, in August 1988, just as I was about to list the characteristics of the bandido stereotype, something stopped me. Instead of describing the Mexican bandit myself, I asked them if they could. Immediately several hands went up, and in a matter of seconds the group sketched a vivid verbal picture of el bandido. Try it yourself and see if you don't come up with the same image they did, composed of these familiar details: the dark, sweaty, unshaven face (scar and gold tooth optional); the bandoleras, the bullet belts crisscrossed across his chest (creating an "X-marks-the-bandit" visual sign); the wide-brimmed sombrero; his weapons of choice (dagger and pistola); the ubiquitous bottle of tequila; the antisocial attitude (whose limited range stretches from the lecherous leer to the scornful scowl); the violent, criminal, generally pathological behavior (he is a bundle of hostility waiting to erupt).
Where had that image come from? In prompting their description, I had not cued them by mentioning a specific film, actor, or scene; nor had I shown a photograph or film clip (I did that afterward). And yet they rapidly accessed the stereotype from some mental image database and precisely rendered it. My guess was that one prominent source for the image they so accurately recalled was the media, primarily the globally dominant U.S. media, and specifically—though not exclusively—Hollywood movies (no doubt Italian and Spanish spaghetti Westerns, which reactivated the stock bandido image, also shaped some of their responses). This study investigates the cinematic sterotyping process that, I believe, in large part made it possible for those Fulbright students—and, I would venture to guess, most of us—to describe the Mexican bandido so immediately, effortlessly, and exactly.
Latino Images in Film grows out of more than a decade of teaching, writing, and lecturing about stereotyping in movies in general and of the depiction of Latinos in Hollywood film in particular. I began researching this topic when I was asked to teach a course called "Chicanos and Film" for the University of Texas Center for Mexican American Studies in 1987. Though the course was on the books, it had not been taught for some time; I had no former teacher to advise me, and course materials and syllabi were nonexistent.
Forced to start from scratch, I soon realized that I was dealing with two main topics: stereotyping and a smaller subset of that subject, Hollywood's representation of Latinos. On stereotyping, I was faced with a confounding wealth of literature, mainly in the social sciences, psychology, and sociology. I wanted to begin my study with a basic understanding of terms, so I needed a handy explanation of stereotypes and the process of stereotyping. But what I discovered was that these concepts meant different things to different researchers in different fields. Initially bewildered, I nevertheless kept working to see if I could synthesize a theory of stereotyping that I could then apply to films. The result of that theory-building forms the first section of this book.
Concerning Latino movie imagery, on the other hand, there was a scarcity of information. Allen L. Woll's short but useful history, The Latin Image in American Film, provided a worthwhile introduction. There was also Arthur Pettit's insightful look at Latin images in literature and film, and a collection of essays, Chicano Cinema, edited by Gary D. Keller. Clint Wilson and Felix Gutiérrez's practical study, Minorities and Media, focused on the portrayal of four main groups in the mass media: Asians, Native Americans, African Americans, and Latinos. Beyond that, there were a few articles, and several stirring Chicano filmmaking manifestos, which used Hollywood's stereotyping of Latinos and the studios' closed-door policy toward young Chicano writers, directors, and producers as the basis for their emerging film aesthetic. And that was it. Clearly there was a lot of critical and historical work yet to be done on Latino stereotypes in the movies.
Happily, that work has begun. Since 1987 there has been an impressive boom in the study of representation in the media in general and of Latinos in particular, a boom that I am happy and proud to have participated in and contributed to. As far as the scholarly analysis of Latino imagery in film goes, the landmark work was Chon Noriega's editing of the first anthology of Chicano film criticism, Chicanos and Film: Representation and Resistance in 1992. This was followed by another key anthology, this time with a broader, pan-Latino focus, The Ethnic Eye: Latino Media Arts, edited by Noriega and Ana López in 1996. Several other important anthologies and books soon followed.
In addition, there is a lengthy and growing list of important articles by, among others, Carlos Cortés, Rosa Linda Fregoso, Lilian Jiménez, Christine List, Ana López, David R. Maciel, Kathleen Newman, Chon Noriega, and Federico A. Subervi-Vélez. However, none of these books or articles, unquestionably significant and impressive as they are, addresses Latinos in film from quite the same vantage point as I do in this book. Latino Images in Film is meant to serve as an introduction to the operation of stereotyping, to analyze how it functions in film, and then to apply that knowledge to the critical analysis of the depiction of Latinos in U.S. cinema.
Or, rather, why study stereotypes anymore, now that "images of" analysis has long since been actively pursued but then declared passé in film criticism and theory? Because my own research indicates that there are still important benefits to be gained from it. One of the most significant is the fact that studying stereotypes takes one back to the social sciences, and that provides a way to connect film criticism with lived experience. Social scientific research is empirical; it bases its conclusions on the experiences of individuals and social groups. On the other hand, film theory is of necessity ontological and conceptual; it seeks to grasp the essential nature of the film medium. Film criticism is interpretive: informed conjecture on the significance of a text. Neither is empirical in the scientific sense, which leads to a stumbling block in much of film theory and criticism, namely, how to connect philosophical and critical speculation with the lives that people actually live. Beginning with sociological and psychological studies on stereotyping, based as they are on ethnographic studies, surveys, lab experiments, and other empirical investigation methods, then, provides me a way to make one type of film-society link. Through the social science lens, stereotyping in film can be seen as a graphic manifestation of the psychosocial process of stereotyping in society in general.
However, the movement away from "images of" analyses in film studies is, in my estimation, a correct one. The study of representation in the media must be more than simple content analysis, a game of "spotting the stereotype," cataloging it, then bemoaning Hollywood movies for their pernicious imagery. It has to branch out in at least two directions. First, film representation needs to be understood within a social and historical context. The images of Latinos in American film exist not in a vacuum but as part of a larger discourse on Otherness in the United States. Beyond their existence as mental constructs or film images, stereotypes are part of a social conversation that reveals the mainstream's attitudes about Others.
The case of Latino stereotyping in mass media involves a discursive system that might be called "Latinism" (a play on Edward Said's Orientalism): the construction of Latin America and its inhabitants and of Latinos in this country to justify the United States' imperialistic goals. Operationalized externally as the Monroe Doctrine and internally as Manifest Destiny, U.S. imperialism was based on the notion that the nation should control the entire hemisphere and was willing to fight anyone who disagreed. For centuries, the precepts underpinning the Monroe Doctrine have been used as a rationale for U.S. interference in the internal politics of Latin America. On the whole, Hollywood endorsed North American dominance of this hemisphere, and as often as it depicted that hegemony uncritically, movies helped to perpetuate it.
In the United States, especially in the Southwest, Manifest Destiny meant taking land from Mexico, displacing Mexican landowners, subjugating Tejanos, Hispanos, and Californios (Texans, New Mexicans, and Californians of Mexican heritage), and exploiting them as cheap and expendable labor. In order to rationalize the expansionist goals laid out by the Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny, Latinos—whether U.S. citizens, newly arrived migrants from the south, or Latin Americans in their own countries—needed to be shown as lesser beings. Movie stereotyping of Latinos, therefore, has been and continues to be part of an American imperialistic discourse about who should rule the hemisphere—a sort of "Monroe Doctrine and Manifest Destiny Illustrated."
The second way that the analysis of Latino representation in the movies must move beyond superficial content analysis is by looking at the deep structure of Hollywood cinema. That is, we need to investigate how standardized cinematic techniques, the accepted norms of "good" filmmaking (including the star system, casting, screenwriting, camera angles, shot selection, direction, production design, editing, acting conventions, lighting, framing, makeup, costuming, and mise-en-scène), all contribute to the totality of the image we call a stereotype. Furthermore, we need to explore the narrative function that stereotypes play within classical Hollywood films and their purpose in various popular genres. This general trajectory—from stereotyping in general to stereotyping in film to the significance of Latino imagery in three genres (social problem films, Westerns, and science fiction films)—forms the first two parts of this book.
The third part looks at some ways that Latino filmmakers have tried to break with this pattern of representation through self-representation. And here is another example of how the proper, in-depth study of stereotypes can help us analyze those films: surely one good way for us as critics to judge the efficacy of Latino filmmakers' anti-stereotyping aesthetic is to know the detailed workings of Hollywood's stereotyping apparatus that so many of them were reacting against.
I use the terms "Latino," "Latin American," "Chicano," and "Mexican American" quite a bit, and I should explain what I mean by them. "Latino" is the umbrella term for people of Latin American descent that in recent years has supplanted the more imprecise and bureaucratic designation "Hispanic." Thus Cuban Americans, Puerto Ricans, Mexican Americans, and any people who trace their ethnic roots back to Central or South America are considered Latino if they live in the United States. Those citizens of Central or South America I refer to as Latin Americans, or by their specific nationality. However, when speaking of the stereotypes developed by Hollywood, I have used the term "Latino stereotypes" to mean both U.S. Latinos and Latin Americans. I do this for the sake of convenience and to emphasize the fact that Hollywood did not differentiate between these two broad groups in its stereotyping imagery. As far as Hollywood was concerned, U.S. Latinos and Latin Americans could all be lumped together as people with identical characteristics; as such, they could all be uniformly depicted stereotypically as bandits, harlots, Latin lovers, and so forth. And if Hollywood made no distinction between Latinos and Latin Americans, it certainly could not be expected to make finer distinctions, between, say, Mexicans (citizens of Mexico) and Mexican Americans (citizens of the United States).
"Chicano" is the term made popular by the Mexican American civil rights movement in the 1960s and 1970s; as an ethnic self-identifying label, it implied pride as well as activism and oppositional politics, much as the term "Black" did for African Americans during the same period. It is still used in this context, when referring to the movement or to ourselves as Mexican Americans, particularly by those of us who lived through that period. Our children, however, tend to prefer the term "Mexican American." In this book I have tried to use "Chicano" when I mean more politicized filmmaking and criticism, and "Mexican American" when referring to our more recent creative and critical practices. Thus Luis Valdez, who began his creative work by producing radical theater in support of the unionizing efforts of César Chavez, is referred to as a Chicano filmmaker. Robert Rodríguez, though he is also interested in correcting, countering, and avoiding stereotypes, belongs to a different generation of filmmakers. He was probably influenced more by Alfred Hitchcock, John Woo, and Steven Spielberg than by the Chicano movement or early Chicano filmmakers, and I refer to him as a Mexican American or Latino filmmaker.
In Spanish, nouns are gender-identified through an "o" or "a" suffix, with a distinction between Chicano (male) and Chicana (female). When used alone, the male form, Chicano, denotes both male and female. The use of Chicano in such a context, however, tends to present the same problems as the word or suffix "man" does in English: it provides convenient cover for an essentially male discourse. Various alternatives have been proposed, the most popular being Chicano/a. Like many Chicana feminist critics, however, I use Chicano as a cultural and political self-designation vis-à-vis the dominant culture, but (I hope) avoid the implicit male emphasis usually given the term. Also, at times I make a clear distinction between Chicano and Chicana critical and cinematic practices.
At times I will similarly make the same distinction. For example, when I refer to Lourdes Portillo's film The Devil Never Sleeps as "Chicana film noir" in Chapter 8, I specifically mean a feminist variation on familiar Hollywood film noir genre themes made by an activist Mexican American filmmaker.
There is also the question of what to call members of the U.S. social dominant. "White" is the oft-used term, but as much as possible I shy away from using it because doing so, in my mind at least, reifies crude and essentialist racial categories—white, black, brown, yellow. As Richard Dyer has so convincingly shown, the idea of an essential white category (and by implication any racial classification) is a convenient—and divisive—social construct. I use the term "Anglo" instead—not because it is any less problematic denotatively, but it seems to me to be less charged connotatively.
Finally, there is the problematic term "American cinema," which is commonly used when referring to U.S. films. But the United States is not America, only part of North America. A more accurate term might be "North American cinema," but, again, that excludes Canada and, depending on how one defines it, Greenland, Mexico, and the Carribean. The most accurate term to speak of the totality of this nation's filmmaking, both Hollywood and independent films, is "U.S. cinema," and I use that term sometimes, although it has the disadvantage of being both cumbersome and not in common usage. Despite my qualms about it, then, "American cinema" is the term generally accepted and widely understood, and if I use it here it is for convenience, and not in any way to disparage, discount, or dismiss the cinematic traditions of other North and South American countries.
Latino Images in Film began as a slightly different project. At the urging of several editors, I originally intended simply to compile the articles I had written on Latino stereotypes in American film over the years, especially since some of them are difficult to find. Once I began, however, I realized that I needed to elaborate, refine, and develop some of my ideas, particularly regarding my theorizing of stereotyping in Hollywood film. I also realized that my taxonomy of six familiar Latino stereotypes did not tell the full story of Latino imagery in American cinema. There were some fascinating exceptions to the rule, Anglo filmmakers in the Hollywood system, like Richard Brooks in Crisis (1950), who managed to avoid stereotypes. In addition, there were certain wily Latino performers, like Lupe Vélez, Gilbert Roland, and José Ferrer, who found ways to subvert Hollywood's stereotyping machinery.
The resulting book, then, is a mix of new and old. It is composed of four new theoretical chapters that form Part 1. Also new is the book's extensive interview of the most successful Latino director in Hollywood history, Robert Rodríguez, in Chapter 10. Having written an essay (which appears here as Chapter 9) about his first two films, his student-short Bedhead (1990) and El Mariachi (1992), I wanted to follow up and talk about the rest of his career. Specifically, I wanted to know how he thought he could balance his ethnic pride with mainstream moviemaking success. Finally, I conclude with a newly written look at the present state of Latino images in American cinema. It considers the current "Latin boom" in U.S. entertainment and contrasts it with an earlier one in the 1920s. Seeking to evaluate the significance of the recent rise of Latinos in the movies, it draws a comparison with the ascent of another denigrated ethnic group—the Irish—in classical Hollywood cinema.
This new material appears along with five essays (Chapters 5-9) on Latino representation that I have written over the past decade. In the present context, these essays serve as case studies looking at Latino representation in various film genres. Three of the essays appear in Part 2, which looks at Latino images in three classical Hollywood genres—the social problem film, the Western, and the science fiction film. Two more essays, one on Chicano border documentaries and another on Robert Rodríguez's early career, appear in Part 3, the Latino counterimagery part of the book.
How much did I alter these previously published works? On the whole, I opted for minor revisions that would bring them up-to-date with current critical literature, rather than larger-scale rewriting or reconceptualizing. The changes in Chapter 5, on Bordertown (1935) and the Chicano social problem films, for instance, will be found mainly in the footnotes. Chapter 6, on the representation of Latinos and other ethnics in the films of John Ford, has not been changed at all. I debated how much to alter Chapter 7, an essay based on the notion that aliens in science fiction films could be regarded as figures for real-life Latin American immigrants to the United States. In the end I pretty much left it alone. I know that since it was published, in the fall of 1989, there have been many more science fiction films released that could be added to the list. But any critical piece eventually falls behind the flow of film releases. And, in addition, I felt that the ideas in the essay are still sound. Moreover, it allows readers to apply those ideas to the newer films, as I do when I teach that essay in my classes. So I hope that readers will feel free to use the approach I delineate when they analyze more-recent science fiction films about aliens, such as The Arrival (1996), Independence Day (1996), and Men in Black (1997).
In Part 3, the Latino counterimages part of the study, Chapter 8, on Chicano border documentaries, has been improved by the addition of footnotes directing the reader to other criticism of the films of Lourdes Portillo. In my mind, the updating of Chapter 9, on Robert Rodríguez's early career, is Chapter 10, the interview with Rodríguez.
One clarification that I want to make about this counterimagery section concerns my focus. Though I center on Latino stereotypes in Hollywood film in the book's first seven chapters, in the last section I emphasize the Mexican American response. I do so for several reasons. One is that as a Mexican American I feel more qualified to analyze Mexican American films than I would if I were speaking of, say, the Puerto Rican cinematic response. A second reason is that I know Mexican American cinema better than other Latino cinemas (Puerto Rican or Cuban American, for example), having studied and taught it for nearly a decade and a half. A third reason is that Chicano film is a branch of Latino cinema that has a prolific and sustained thirty-year history. Moreover, it began specifically in opposition to the Hollywood paradigm, so my concentration on its history seems not only reasonable but called for. Finally, there is the interesting fact that so much of Chicano cinema originated in the cradle of mainstream studio cinema, Southern California. Viewed in that context, one might consider Chicano cinema of the past thirty years to have been mainstream American film's "shadow cinema," maybe even serving as Hollywood's "ethnic conscience." But whatever the case, I wish to make clear that by centering my attention on Mexican American films, I do not mean to diminish the role of other Latino filmmaking traditions or filmmakers.
Latino Images in Film, then, is a hybrid—part new, part old. It generally focuses on fiction film, though one chapter is devoted to documentary movies. It is about stereotyping in film, about Hollywood's representaton of Latinos, and the Latino cinematic reaction. It is not a comprehensive book about Latinos in film, nor is it meant to be. To paraphrase Robert Rodríguez in the interview in Chapter 10, one book can't do everything. Obviously there are gaps—many other films, actors, and filmmakers that need to be studied. But for now, take this book as one voice in a growing conversation about Latinos in film, one that indicates some critical and historical directions that future researchers may want to explore. My modest hope is that it adds positively to that discourse. For me, this is the book I was looking for back in 1987.

Stretching away to the south are the Grenadines, three dozen tiny islands where the same seclusion often mingles with understated yet meticulous luxury. Several are privately owned or leased and have been transformed into mini-resorts, each with its own personality. Mustique, formerly the elite kingdom of socialite Colin Tennant, now welcomes all comers to elegant lodgings. Bequia (BEK-way) is a pretty patchwork of batik boutiques and colorful fishing hamlets, its Admiralty Bay a gathering spot of an international clientele. Union Island, also a nautical hangout, is a hub for sailing charters and scuba excursions. Palm Island and Petit Byahaut are both upscale camplike retreats, and Petit St. Vincent - PSV - is an island resort that Garbo might have loved, proffering privacy and first rate service. Mayreau and Canouan also take guests, but many of the other Grenadines, like Tobago Cays, are uninhabited jewels, perfect for staging that Crusoesque castaway fantasy. On all these isles, the beaches are a picturesque dream white and blue; nonaquatic sports are scarce, and the rowdiest nightlife is dinner by starlight.
The remote feeling that makes these islands so special, however, is in part the result of their relative inaccessibility: travelers to St. Vincent must connect via Barbados or another island; journeying on to the Grenadines is usually by boat. If your clients are in the mood (and the money) to rent a small yacht, island-hopping here could be the escape of a lifetime, since just about every hotel caters to sailfolk. Others, of course, may be equally content to wash up on one tiny forgotten island and watch time come to a blissful halt.

Vice President Mike Pence said Thursday that the US will not require North Korea to provide a full list of its nuclear and missile sites before President Donald Trump meets with dictator Kim Jong Un for a second summit slated for early next year.
Washington and Pyongyang have been locked in a diplomatic standoff for weeks over which side will make concessions first, but by relaxing its demands ahead of a second Trump-Kim summit, the US may have just blinked first.
Rather than requiring a declaration of nuclear weapons sites as a prerequisite to a second meeting with Trump, Pence told NBC News that the administration will insist on developing a "verifiable plan" to disclose those sites while the two leaders are in the same room.
"I think it will be absolutely imperative in this next summit that we come away with a plan for identifying all of the weapons in question, identifying all the development sites, allowing for inspections of the sites and the plan for dismantling nuclear weapons," he said during the interview.
"Now we need to see results," Pence added.
State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Thursday that the Trump administration's approach to dealing with North Korea will take time but bi-lateral engagement between the country's two leaders may be more likely to bring results than multilateral attempts of the past where negotiations became "bogged down" over disagreements where things "take a lot longer to get done."
"President Trump and Chairman Kim came up with four sets and areas of agreement that they intend to work on. We have been hard at work on those four areas of agreement," Nauert said.
"We take Chairman Kim at his word that he will work on this with us and when the President and Chairman Kim are next able to meet whenever that does take place, we think probably early in the next year, we expect those four elements of the Singapore summit will be addressed by the two leaders," she added.
Pence's comments come days after the release of new commercial satellite images identifying more than a dozen undeclared North Korean missile operating bases, another sign that Pyongyang is continuing to move forward with its ballistic missile program.
That assessment comes as no surprise to American intelligence agencies which have long assessed that the North Koreans have stored much of their weapons capability, including mobile missile launchers, in underground mountain bunkers.
Trump claimed Tuesday that his administration is aware of the sites and that the images offered "nothing new - and nothing happening out of the normal."
But experts noted that the State Department's response to the report, which implored Kim to "follow through on his commitments -- including complete denuclearization and the elimination of ballistic missile programs" indicates that there is still a disconnect between the two sides.
Later on Thursday evening, the North Korean state-run Korean Central News Agency published a story stating that Kim visited the Academy of Defense Science facility in Pyongyang and "supervised a newly developed ultra modern tactical weapon test." The details of the weapon and the test could not independently be corroborated by CNN.
"North Korea is still building nuclear weapons. Kim is doing exactly the opposite," according to Bruce Bennett, a senior researcher who specializes in North Korea at the RAND Corporation.
Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said Monday that the images once again show that Trump's comments on North Korea have been a "fabrication."
"The North Koreans have not signed any document working out, laying out, what steps they are going to take to denuclearize," Hagel said. "There has been nothing stated, agreed to, framed signed, except what President Trump says they've said ... but now ... we have a whole different story, and it is the reality, it is not fantasy," he added.
While North Korea claims that it has taken some steps toward denuclearization, experts say those moves are largely cosmetic and easily reversible. Kim's regime has shuttered a missile engine testing facility; destroyed the entrances to its nuclear test site; and promised to close the Yongbyon nuclear facility, where North Korea is believed to produce fissile material for nuclear weapons, if Washington takes what it calls "corresponding measures."
Trump has insisted that he is "very happy with how it's going with North Korea," but US and foreign sources close to the talks have painted a starkly different image, describing a situation in which progress has been slowed by disagreements over sanctions relief and personal friction between working-level negotiators.
A source familiar with the ongoing dance between officials in Washington and Pyongyang said that North Korea's stance is that the US "must make a move before we make the next one."
For the time being however, Trump remains optimistic about the possibility achieving his administration's goal of achieving denuclearization, even if that means being flexible on certain demands in an effort to rebuild trust between the two sides.
"Certainly the administration is doing everything it can, within bounds, to get North Korea to trust them," Bennett told CNN. "But North Korea's terminology, what they are saying, is exactly the opposite, which makes it sound like what Kim is really trying to do is play the hard bargainer and extort as much as he can ... until the Americans decide (he is) not serious."
Pence's comments may indicate that the US is making a calculated attempt to break through that impasse, according to Adam Mount, senior fellow and director of the Defense Posture Project at the Federation of American Scientists.
"Though it clearly wasn't the US preference, setting aside a demand for a declaration is very much for the best," said Mount, who added that an inventory in itself would do little to address the nuclear threat from North Korea or add momentum to the talks.
"North Korea is clearly signaling it is not willing to rapidly dismantle its arsenal, but it may well agree to important limits on its capabilities. Rather than symbolic steps that hint at total disarmament, the US should lock in practical measures to limit the threat, especially agreed limits on reactors, missile tests and destabilizing military operations," he told CNN.
"The administration's experts understand that they cannot go into another summit without an agenda, a tangible deliverable, or a road map for future working level talks," Mount added.
Pyongyang has often argued it is unable to provide comprehensive details about the locations of its nuclear and missile sites because that could serve as a target list should the situation escalate into an armed conflict.
And the consensus among many North Korea watchers is Kim will likely never surrender a complete list of his nuclear and missile sites.
"It was asking to be lied to, and would have led to months or years of vicious arguments about its completeness," said Mount, about making a declaration of sites a prerequisite for a second summit.
"Every time the administration issues and then abandons an unrealistic demand, it loses some credibility and momentum," he said.
While dropping that demand as a prerequisite for a second summit may help jump-start the stalled talks, some argue that administration could be playing into Kim's hands by moving forward with a second Trump-Kim summit without a plan in place for how that meeting will help advance working-level discussions.
Lisa Collins, a fellow with the Korea Chair at CSIS, told CNN this week that "you can't get anywhere without these working-level talks because that's where the nitty-gritty stuff happens."
"You can't get a verifiable list of anything unless nuclear weapons experts are part of the process," she said."Is President Trump going to create a list of all those facilities? Does he even know where some of these places are? I would be very skeptical."
Bennett told CNN that he thinks that the administration is hoping to show they are open to a degree of compromise that will encourage the North Koreans will start to negotiate at the working-level again. If the North Koreans then still resist, US officials would likely use that reaction as evidence to convince Trump of their true intentions.
"If they do not, then that is a clear signal we can give to President Trump that they are not taking this all that seriously," he said, adding that message could also be interpreted as a personal affront to Trump and potentially prompt him to reconsider the upcoming summit.

Last week saw a surge in summer holiday bookings as British travellers exercised renewed confidence in the travel industry.
It was revealed this week that the United Kingdom was now officially out of recession (just) and it is no coincidence that holiday makers are also deciding they can treat themselves to a break in the summer months.
The Stag Company have enjoyed a 47% increase on bookings so far in January in comparison with 2009 as lads elect to have a European stag weekend in greater numbers than ever before.
Across the entire travel industry the week ending January 23 saw a record breaking number of holiday, according to official booking data from GfK Ascent-MI.
Year-on-year comparisons showed that 34,000 more sales were made than in the same week in 2009, Co-operative Travel revealed this week that the group recorded its best-ever day of trading on January 16.
With so much demand now really is the time to look into booking your stag holiday for 2010. The most popular booking so far is for Riga stag weekends.

Have you noticed a big boom in the amount of new books being written?
A lot of us in the blogosphere aren’t just bloggers – we’re readers, writers, and storytellers. So, we not only want to write a weekly collection of our thoughts. We want to write an novel! YAY!
While the job’s simple enough (read, comment, support) a lot of people seem to get it wrong by not doing anything for some reason?? They don’t put in the effort to give helpful comments and suggestions to the author.
Today, let’s talk about how you can be a valuable member in a team of readers, and give great advice that will benefit your author’s editing time.
*What’re alpha and beta readers?
An alpha reader reads your book as you are writing it, during your first draft.
A beta reader reads your book after you have finished the first draft and are editing or beginning your second draft.
We live in a world that bases everything on if it will offend someone or not. I have a dozen examples, but I’m not going into specific details about that today.* Basically, throw that mindset out the window.
Don’t worry about hurting feelings. This is the nitty-gritty. You’re chipping away the rock to get to the diamond.
You can never grow if you don’t make mistakes. That’s why authors like alpha/beta readers! They want to be pointed to the right direction, to learn how to make their writing the best it can be.
*controversial topics??? lol what are those????
Now that I’ve said the above… don’t make the author feel like their work is trash! Only pointing out the negatives makes them feel like they’re not doing anything right, and they’ll start to doubt that they’re getting anywhere with their story.
If you see something that’s good, for Heaven’s sake, point it out! Compliment the wording of a sentence, the fluid pacing of a scene, anything you really like. Because the author will see that, smile, and try to improve the rest of her story to that level.
No matter how much we criticize our own work, authors love praise. We like it when you compliment our stories. We will gobble up the good reviews and give you hugs and chocolate.
You’ve stated what you like. You’ve shown what you don’t.
SAY WHY. PLEASE. SAY. WHY.
Not saying why isn’t very beneficial to the author. It’s like getting a graded test back without explanations why their answers were wrong; they don’t know what to do to correct their mistake, and they’ll blindly try to find a solution.
Don’t leave your author in the dark. Guide them through your thought process. Why exactly didn’t you like that character? What might have made him better?
Don’t be super nitpicky (unless the author has asked you to)! Imagine trying to finish your first draft or make early edits, and an army of readers gangs up to attack you with grammar complaints.
It’s one thing if the whole sentence doesn’t make sense and leaves you wondering what just happened, but if it’s a simple, obvious mistake, leave it be. That just makes more comments for the author to go through and spend time correcting while they could be writing.
Also, may I remind you that grammar mistakes are why you hire a proofreader and editor??? The time it takes you to correct misspelled words could be spent doing something else because GUESS WHAT? You’re just doing a job for free that someone else gets paid for.
Writers love to know when we’ve hit the feels (gotten our readers emotional), but sometimes they’ve thought it over SO MANY TIMES in our heads that it isn’t emotional to us anymore. We’re not going to gasp when we read that plot twist we’ve been planning and writing for months.
So… get emotional with your comments! What makes you want to cry? Squeal with delight? Kick your computer down the stairs and scream into a pillow for hours? Even a note as random as “ASDFGHJKL I CALLED IT I CALLED IT AHAHAHAHA”* would make an author grin at her screen.
Don’t forget the negative stuff, though. On one project I’m alpha reading, a certain phrase made me feel really uncomfortable. I pointed it out to the author and a few more readers, and we had a good discussion on how to make that particular sentence easier to digest.
I wanted to add a quick note as almost a bonus to this post because it’s not quite long enough to fit a regular post. If you find you cannot keep alpha/beta reading for someone, please don’t just suddenly ignore them. It’s so discouraging to an author because it feels like we aren’t doing our jobs of keeping readers entertained.
Thank you so much for inviting me to read your book! I’ve really enjoyed reading what I have, but unfortunately I don’t have the time to be able to continue making meaningful suggestions to your work. I wish you and your other readers all the best, and I look forward to reading your beautiful book when it’s published (and super famous)!
While it’s always great to be truthful, you don’t need to give any explanation why you can’t read anymore. So don’t feel forced into spilling your gut on why you have to leave, especially if it’s for personal reasons. You have every right to back out of it.
Well, I guess that’s it for today, my friend! Now, you can be The Best Alpha/Beta Reader In The History Of The World™.
What do you think? What other things are great to do for your author as an early reader?
Next postHow To Find Blogging & Writing Inspiration – Turning Real Life Into Brilliant Ideas!
I think I really need to take these tips from you. 😂 I’ve been enjoying being an Alpha Reader for the magnificent Maddi Grace, but most of my comments on it have evolved into all emotional stuff? (Mostly because I’m shipping two of the characters 😆) I should be giving a bit more constructive feedback than that, even as much as it may make her smile. I mean, I’ll include the emotion, but add in more constructiveness. 😛 Thanks for this post!
I don’t have any social media is why 🙃 but I’ve been thinking about getting Pinterest simply for blogging so we’ll see how that works out!
YAY i’m soooo glad to have this post, considering I’m alpha-ing (?) two stories right now! And also considering that I will need some betas. Lots of betas actually. So yes, life is good – and in my crowded reader, this was one of the posts I picked out to read – LOVE your blog!
oohh! what are you writing?!
Thanks this is so helpful! I end up being an alpha or a beta quite often, so seeing this advice on how to do it is really nice.
Hah I know what you mean 🙂 It’s really exciting to finish your first one so IM CHEERING ON YOU!
Do you write your stories on paper or computer?
Hmm, I mainly write on computer now. But sometimes when I have an idea I’ll just write out the scene on paper and then type it up!
Great article. I’d really appreciate an alpha reader for two of my blog posts please! Get in touch if interested. The main narrator works on her own personal development as not happy with her life. She starts her own research and gives some tips on life goal setting etc.
I’ve entered this world of blogging recently and I am glad to get some tips on how to be a better alpha/beta reader – it would be a pleasure to help someone out too! Thank you for sharing!
Thank you! I’m a tad bit busy right now (Camp NaNoWriMo, uh-oh) but thanks for the offer! Sounds really really good!!
Great advice, Abby! I have only beta read a few times, and was reeeeeeeeaalllyyy nervous about hurting the author’s feelings the second time around (for a y-dubber). What I learned is, be honest, open, and give the kind of feedback you would want to receive from your own readers. Sugar-coating the truth doesn’t help any more than ranting over your pet peeves. By that I mean: if your initial response is extremely positive OR negative, try to find out what it is you are responding to, and explain why you had that gut response. I did this, and it really helped both me and the author. Obviously no two writers have the same style, quirks, or preferences in every area. I try to be gracious, but also explain clearly WHY I reacted to a gut-instinct, then took a breath, and am now replying with a considerate evaluation. I have to remove myself sometimes, before I can give helpful feedback (does that make sense?), because I tend to respond strongly to anything that rubs me the wrong way, or doesn’t line up with my own ideas and convictions. I’m not going to change how anyone writes, nor should I.
Feedback is only as helpful as the heart that goes with it.
If I truly care about the writer enough to read and comment on their work, then I need to truly care about what I say/write to them. I know the bright joys of praise and the knife edge of criticism well enough, but nothing is more sickening than half-hearted, hollow commentary. I’d rather stare at “likes” on Facebook all day, than hear “Oh, that was really good” again, without any explanation or further comment. It’s nice, it feels a little bit good, but only in a handshake kind of way. As if you are saying, “Yeah, I’ve seen you around, and kind of remember your face, but what was your name again? And, do you have a life?” I’m a hugger (lol), so I would much rather you tell me what exactly you did or didn’t like/get/question about my writing. Don’t just say you care; show me you want to invest something into helping me improve (if you’re a committed reader). The blog is looking fantastic, by the way!
Abby, this is really great! It is full of great, and helpful information and it was fun to read!! I love it!

October is National Cyber Security Awareness Month – a joint effort by the Department of Homeland Security and private industry to ensure that citizens and businesses alike have the resources they need to use the Internet safely and securely. Today’s cyber criminals are ingenious and constantly probing for vulnerabilities, and when breaches occur they can put the whole company at risk. Don’t give them the opportunity!
One of the biggest security challenges companies face is that the way we work together has changed dramatically – a transformation that is still ongoing. The term “workplace” is becoming an anachronism as people find new ways to collaborate digitally, anywhere, at any time. Sensitive information needs to be shared among dispersed teams that may include co-workers, partners, customers and other stakeholders. Some of these individuals are vetted and trusted, others…not so much.
Since most security breaches start with human error, now is a fitting time to share some reminders for employees and business users. Think of these as your first line of defense when collaborating in an unsafe world.
Always keep business and personal files separate, otherwise you’re asking for trouble. (A certain presidential candidate learned this the hard way!) For cloud apps, use separate accounts. If work and personal files must be on the same device, store them as far apart as possible, using different directory paths.
According to Verizon’s 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report, 63% of confirmed data breaches involved leveraging weak, default or stolen passwords. Employees, contractors and everyone else in your business ecosystem should be required to use unique credentials with strong, unique passwords, rather than the name of their pet goldfish over and over. Even if a password is exposed just once, the potential consequences are enough to make a security manager cringe. Remind people that the infamous Target breach began when some hacker stole a heating contractor’s credentials, while at Home Depot, someone used a vendor’s username and password to steal credit card info for more than 50 million people.
According to a Ponemon Institute survey of over 1000 IT professionals, 63% of respondents have accidentally sent files to the wrong recipients – people who clearly were not authorized to see them. Here’s a simple suggestion: if an employee needs to send an email to someone for the first time, have the intended recipient send an initial email so the employee can respond to it and use it thereafter. This eliminates the chance they’ll get the address wrong – misspell a company name, forget a dash (or add one), use “.com” instead of “.org“, etc., and send a file goodness knows where.
When employees need to share a file that’s too large for email, it’s tempting to send it through Dropbox, Box or some other consumer-grade file sharing service – or simply park it there for convenience. While many of these consumer-grade services have improved their security measures in recent years, they lack the file-level security and controls necessary for protecting sensitive data. For example, a file may be intended for information only, but people are saving it, renaming it, forwarding it others, pasting sections into a competitor’s sales campaign or misusing it in other ways that the sender never intended.
People are always losing their devices – at the airport, in the back of a taxi, at a restaurant, etc. If a device is used to store sensitive data, it also needs a remote wipe feature to be able to erase that data in the event the device is lost or stolen. (NASA learned this lesson the hard way.) Another approach that’s much more flexible is to use information rights management (IRM) software that can delete sensitive files instantly, on any device.
With the holidays approaching, many people will be receiving new devices (laptops, phones, etc.) as gifts, and family and friends will be pleading for a chance to use them. According to a survey by Kaspersky Lab, one third of respondents reported sharing their personal devices, and of those, 32% took no precautions to protect their information. Why tempt people? In addition, some family members probably have minimal awareness or understanding of today’s cyber threats, and how cunning the perpetrators can be.
Since most security breaches start with human error, educating your staff is an obvious way to reduce the risk. But we also have to remember that training only goes so far – whenever human beings are involved, there’s always the chance of risky behaviors and silly mistakes. And if someone takes advantage of a security lapse to sneak onto your network and steal sensitive data, the damage may not be apparent for weeks or months.
Thus a company has to back up its first line of defense with other measures to keep its information safe. Consider a solution that embeds encryption and user privileges directly into a file, including who is authorized to access it and what operations they can perform with it. These permissions then follow the file wherever it goes on, on any device it lands on. If sensitive data falls into the wrong hands, access can be immediately revoked. Companies get control over their files that’s not available with email or traditional file sharing. As business becomes increasingly powered by digital collaboration, it’s the way to keep sensitive information secure while using it to full advantage.

Smart homes are awesome, but unfortunately, I don't have one. Does any of you here have any smart home items in your house? What are they?
An actual and whole smart-home costs a lot of money. But it's true that they are pretty cool.
About items - I don't have any too.
I do not have one either. I see it at movies, and it looks cool.
But they should be really expensive, I am not sure if it's worth spending that amount of money to have one.

Simenon's novels (not only the great Maigret novels but also his many other works) are not really about crime or mystery: they are really about family drama. And Magdalen Nabb's wonderful Marshall Guarnaccia novels set in Florence are acknowledged (even by Simenon himself) to be in the genre of the French master. Nabb's novels are as melancholy as Simenon's but more sympathetic, and she is a close observer of the changing scene in Florence, while Maigret's Paris is relatively static. But Nabb's books are definitely about family drama, for the most part, along with the drama of a changing city in which those family's are trying to maintain themselves and their workshops--for the people Guarnaccia deals with in his rounds through the streets of the disctrict around the Pitti Palace are often the artisans producing the leather, f urniture, and fashion for which Florence is famous. But Nabb's books may not really be germane to the topic of this blog, for a couple of reasons. As in Simenon, in spite of the often gloomy atmosphere, Nabb's novels are not really noir. Guarnaccia remains too hopeful, even in the face of a decline in the character of his city, as it descends into tourist kitsch. But the working class and lower middle class settings of most of the books do come closer to the concerns of noir than the books of another Anglo emigre living in Italy, Donna Leon (already mentioned earlier in this blog). Leon's novels most often deal with upper class and even ruling class strata--perhaps negatively, in terms of the regard with which Leon and her characters hold those upper classes, but the investigations she portrays are necessarily focused on those segments of society. Guarnaccia's investigations, on the other hand, dwell on the shopkeepers, on the street life, on the outcasts among society. Though moody, foggy Venice, even as portrayed by Leon, would seem to be a better site for noir than modern Florence, Nabb's books are more satisfying in their social history, reaching toward the alternative history that I've already mentioned as one of the touchstones of noir. And in The Innocent, the newest Guarnaccia book, Nabb is clearly reaching for something more literary than a detective novel. Her concerns are for the protagonists of that recurring family drama she usually gazes upon, but in the Innocent she looks in particular at the tensions, the entrapments, the disjunctions in the family. Stolid Guarnaccia remains on the edges of these dramas, just as he does as a Sicilian on the edges of Florentine social structure, and his perspective keeps the family drama from becoming melodramatic. This is pehaps Nabb's most completely satisfying book, noir or not.
Just a few corrections: Simenon was Belgian, not French, and, the correct spelling is Baantjer, two a's. Baantjer is an interesting case. The books I've read are not much, but the Dutch TV series based on them gives the two main characters a chance to shine. And Baantjer is phenomenally popular in the Netherlands. The TV show, for example, is named, not for its hero, but for the books' author. And there is even a Baantjer board game that is popular with Dutch children.
Does the site include any discussion of Michael Dibdin's Aurelio Zen books? They're not noir in the classic American doomed-lives sense, but their sense of resignation to the realities of Italian corruption are at least related to noir. And Dibdin is the only crime writer I know who gives compelling portrait of a country not his own.

The defendants are leading global electronics manufacturers, including LG Electronics, Hitachi, Toshiba, Samsung, and Philips. Plaintiffs seek to represent businesses and consumers who purchased optical disk drives and the computers, DVD players and other devices that contain them. They claim potential overcharges in excess of $1 billion.

I love Hearthstone. I play it almost every day. When I don’t; I ensure I never have three daily quests pending at the end of a night. When Curse of the Naxxramas was announced I was excited for the opportunity to earn an additional 30 cards and engage in a campaign battle against a ruthless, cutthroat AI opponent. What I received instead was an empty feeling as I defeated the bosses in a single sitting and a question of what to do during the next release.
The first wing of five, released for free. Gamers who play within the first month will never have to pay for the initial adventure, which is brilliant fan service by Blizzard. The remaining four wings will release one a week. Pricing will vary depending on whether the player uses in-game gold or real-world currency. Which can lead to a difficult personal choice.
The three bosses within the first wing have an assorted deck of new cards players can earn, old favorites and a unique special ability. The ability is purposely unbalanced. One enemy summons a 3/1 solider for only 2 mana; for the same cost the Paladin receives a 1/1. Another ability sends a random player minion back to their deck (which can be a blessing with a battlecry deck).
In these battles, players can use any deck they constructed. Defeating a boss will yield a new card (2 copies for your deck), with the final boss providing a legendary card. The bosses can be challenged in normal or hard. There is no reward, except for personal-glory, to defeat the bosses in hard.
Each wing will release deck specific challenges for the player. Instead of competing with their own deck the player is saddled with a deck the designers constructed. This is obviously a lop-sided fight where the boss’s ability will be a large hindrance.
Winning these challenges will yield players with a class specific card to use in standard play.
There are no consequences to losing, except for the loss of time. This allows players to challenge bosses until they secure victory and earn the additional cards. This system emphasizes a lucky draw and will dictate how difficult the battle is for the player, more so than a cunning opponent who makes the best of any situation.
Anecdotally, my Hunter deck (which I have only cracked rank 10) was able to defeat all the bosses on the first try. I did have to do the Druid challenge twice but went from having no momentum to destroying the boss on turn five.
There is no point to continue fighting the AI once all of the cards released that week are earned. Players don’t earn gold, credit towards daily quests or anything else. This makes the DLC far less engaging and more of a conduit to expand the player’s deck than an experience on its own merits.
Each wing will cost 700 gold or, at best pricing, $20 for all four. I am thrilled that Blizzard is continuing the trend of Hearthstone being a free to play game. With each wing spaced by a week, it is realistic for players to bank 700 gold each between releases and still be on the cutting edge without spending real world currency. Blizzard is extremely generous to fans.
However, $20 purchases 15 packs of cards in the shop. 2,800 gold (700 x 4 wings) purchases 28 packs. Players who choose to use gold (again, standup act of Blizzard to allow this option) are essentially throwing away 13 packs of cards. This might not matter if you already have a full deck of every card available, but this does feel like paying double with in-game currency.
On its own, I would give Curse of the Naxxramas a 3.0/10. The entertainment value for the campaign is low and there is no replay value. But this expansion is part of a much greater whole, a brilliant amazing game. The change in the meta-game and arena rankings associated with these 30 cards is immeasurable. Already I have seen players figuring out the best way to hatch their Nerubian Eggs.
If you don’t like Hearthstone, this won’t win you over. If you enjoy Hearthstone than you will be envious of players who expanded their arsenal of weapons and want to follow suit by conquering each wing as it’s released.

Please find our Irish English page here: Irish English.
A short list which is fun to read is Irish slang in WhyGo Ireland.
The BBC has a short page on Common Irish slang and there is also a list in TripAdvisor.
Thanks Licia, I have added them to the post.
John Loftus and Terence Patrick Dolan’s Hiberno-English Archive is an outstanding reference. Entries offer vernacular and literary examples of Irish-English, along with notes on pronunciation, etymology and usage.
The above website led me to this page of Cavanese.
Another wonderful resource is CELT, the Corpus of Electronic Texts, which has a wealth of historical documents.

In "Hallucination in Hong Kong" by Rohan Quine, sliding from joy to nightmare and back, a plane-flight frames a journey into Jaymi's and Angel's polarised identities and perceptions, where past and present merge in an obsessive fantasy of love, death, horror and apocalyptic beauty.
As their plane takes off, Jaymi is warmed by the presence of his beloved friend Angel beside him. They are bound for Hong Kong, to perform a grand concert of unearthly music from a stage set high on the Peak. Jaymi starts to doze ... and enters a fog of horror in seeming to remember that this concert lies in their distant past, not their imminent future: it happened nine years ago, and straight after that triumphant occasion there occurred unexpected disaster and the permanent catatonia of Angel. Those terrible events were rendered all the more poignant by the idyllic chapter they had experienced upon first meeting and falling in love, which he now recalls in great detail.
In reality (it would seem), Jaymi is on this flight alone, on a mission to put a compassionate end to Angel's life, in view of his continued catatonia. And in an atmosphere of escalating nightmare and disjunction, incongruously set against the beauty of night-time Hong Kong as seen from the Peak and the Midlevels, this grim mission of euthanasia is accomplished - perhaps. That nightmare atmosphere is magnified by the obsessive flicker of Jaymi's mind through complex permutations of his own possible guilt at betraying Angel, and the latter's possible knowledge of this guilt ... because hadn’t there actually been a mirror on the ceiling above the bench where Angel lay supine years ago, unnoticed by Jaymi at the time but in fact revealing to Angel certain things about Jaymi's movements that he hadn't known Angel could see?
Sliding from joy to nightmare, then back to a joy stained by the flavour of vanishing nightmare, "Hallucination in Hong Kong" explores those hellish possible events lying beneath the surface of our present and future, always ready to break through into reality if they become so inclined. In this journey, it conjures up from Jaymi's and Angel's polarised identities and perceptions an obsessive fantasy of dark androgyny, ironic horror and apocalyptic beauty.

In System Center 2012 – Operations Manager, when troubleshooting an issue with the Operations console or with an agent, you may see recommendations to “clear the cache”. (For example, see the Knowledge Base article Troubleshooting gray agent state.) The following table explains how and when to clear the console cache or agent cache.
Open the Operations console with the /clearcache parameter.
Use this method to open the Operations console if you experience errors trying to retrieve data in views, such as ObjectNotFoundExceptions, or when the cache file grows too large and you want to reduce its size on disk.
In the Monitoring workspace, expand Operations Manager and then expand Agent Details.
In Agent State, click an agent.
In the Tasks pane, click Flush Health Service State and Cache.
This should be the final step when troubleshooting issues with the agent, before uninstalling and reinstalling the agent.
Clearing the agent cache can cause data loss of monitoring data from that system.
Stops the System Center Management service.
Deletes the health service store files.
Resets the state of the agent, including all rules, monitors, outgoing data, and cached management packs.
Starts the System Center Management service.
When the service restarts, the agent requests configuration from the management server.
Because this task deletes the cached data in the health service store files, including the record of this task itself, no task status will be reported on completion of the task.
In the Monitoring workspace, expand Operations Manager and then expand Management Server.
In Management Server State, click a management server.
Run this task on a management server when the management server is not functional, a restart has not fixed the problem, and you have exhausted other troubleshooting options.
Clearing the agent cache can cause data loss of monitoring data from agents to the management server.

Designed to store all your beauty or non-beauty travel essentials, The Overpacker is a spacious multi-compartment bag equipped with a built-in hook for easy storage and access. The main compartment is large enough for carrying most skincare and toiletries; there are several side pockets as well to keep things organized. Two other pockets line the lid flap and an additional pocket is found right outside the main compartment. With a convenient strap for easy handling, The Overpacker is definitely my fave out of the three bags in this collection. If you are looking for a bag that will fit all your travel skincare and makeup needs, this is the one!
If you are a light packer looking for a simple, stylish bag that will hold all your beauty essentials, The Minimalist is your pick. About the size of a hefty hardcover book, this bag has two compartments divided by a thin flap of fabric. I can fit most of my essential travel makeup items and a couple of skincare items. For bigger cream jars and toner bottles, The Overpacker or The Universalist offers much more flexibility.
My go-to beauty storage for week-long vacations (I own several versions from past collections), The Universalist is a jumbo-sized makeup bag that will fit just about all my skincare, toiletries, and makeup needs. The top compartment unzips to reveal two rolls of elastic straps designed for securing makeup brushes and any tube-shaped items. The feature is fantastic if you are like me and want to keep things organized and easily accessible.
The bottom compartment opens to reveal a spacious pocket for storing just about everything else. Similar elastic straps can be found along the sides to hold jars and bottles and a mesh pocket is available for storing smaller items on the underside of the lid. As you can see in the photo below, the bottom compartment is huge! Everything from full-sized face cream, toner, and toiletries should fit with no problem. One drawback is that everything is cloth-lined so if there's a broken powder compact or spilled shampoo, the cleanup can be challenging.
Sephora Collection products can be very hit or miss but their makeup bags have been consistently amazing. From their thoughtful and quality design to the bold and trendy appearance, these bags are definitely worth the investment! Have you spotted the new J Goldcrown Bleeding Hearts Collection in stores? Will you be picking up any of the pieces? Let me know in the comments below!

As my own scanned photo collection grows, it has really become obvious to me how thankful I am for the added attention I have been putting into the filenames I give to all of my scanned images.
When you’re scanning, it’s really easy to get into a “robotic” mindset where you are just trying to scan as many photos as possible in a sitting. So when you get to that blank field each time that asks you to type in a name for the file, it’s tempting to just quickly bang out a few descriptive words with little thought to how useful they will be to anyone later.

OK Tire Stores Inc. plans to spend $100 million over the next five years to expand its distribution capabilities. It's the most significant expansion in the company's 66-year history.
The tire dealer has one goal — to add to its market share across all of Canada.
“Thanks to our dealers, we are experiencing phenomenal and consistent growth in our network on both the commercial and retail side," says Jim Caldwell, CEO and president of OK Tire. "We are changing our business model to provide our dealers with everything they require to serve our customers’ automotive needs better. Today’s announcement marks the beginning of a new OK Tire as Canada’s premier tire and auto service company."
OK Tire will add more than 500,000 square feet to its distribution center footprint in all regions of Canada in the next three years. The company is about to begin construction of a new distribution center in central Canada, and says it will release details about locations in the coming months.
“Our objective is to future-proof our business, which is why we are installing state-of-the-art distribution systems at our new facilities," says Michael Rutherford, chief operating officer. "We will be able to carry more products and service our retail locations with an expanded line of tires and automotive products."
Caldwell says the expansion of distribution space is the first major inititave of OK Tire's five year plan.
There are more than 300 independently owned and operated OK Tire stores across Canada.

I'm wondering if there are meant to be differences in DNA methylation between the forward and the reverse strand of the gene? I'm wondering because in primer design for bisulfite pyrosequencing one might only design primers for the forward strand. Should this matter for human/mouse DNA?
cheers and thanks in advance for any advice.
In most tissues, close to 100% of DNA methylation occurs at CpG sites. This provides a straightforward mechanism for epigenetic inheritance. Since C and G are complementary, both strands have the CpG site at the same locus and methylation is either present on both strands or on neither. During replication, each daughter DNA molecule inherits a parent strand with the (un)methylated CpG sites. Enzymes can recognise when there is asymmetrical CpG methylation and subsequently methylate the new strand where required. So, for CpG sites, both strands are methylated or not.
In embryonic and induced stem cells, however, ~25% of the total methylation occurs at non-CpG sites (especially CpA). Thus, methylation at a specific locus would only occur on one strand. As far as I know, how/if this methylation pattern is inherited has not yet been elucidated. Furthermore, this type of methylation occurs throughout the chromosome and is particularly high in exons whereas CpG methylation generally occurs upstream of a transcription start site.

PGA Tour Champions, the circuit for the men stars who have reached their 50th birthdays, have two of their five major tournaments in easy reach of Chicago this year. The first, though, might not quite feel like a major.
Bernhard Langer, who has dominated the circuit for years and won all five of those majors at least once, won’t be in the field when the 79th KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship returns to Harbor Shores in Battle Creek, Mich., on Thursday.
Langer completed his sweep of the Champions’ majors last year when he won the Senior PGA at Trump National in Virginia. He had previously included the Regions Tradition, U.S. Senior Open, Constellation Senior Players Championship and British Senior Open among his 37 wins on the Champions Tour.
First of the PGA Tour Champions majors was last week’s Regions Tradition in Alabama. Langer couldn’t defend his title there, finishing in 11th place behind champion Miguel Angel Jimenez.
Langer had an unusually slow start (for him) this season. He needed eight tournaments to get his first victory at the Insperity Invitational in Texas, but he had three second-place finishes prior to that. He’ll be in the field for the third and fourth Champions’ majors. The U.S. Senior Open and Constellation Senior Players Championship at Exmoor, in Highland Park, are back-to-back in July.
Both the Illinois and Northwestern men finished in the top five of last week’s Columbus regional and will be in the 30-team field for the NCAA Championships, which tee off on Friday at Karsten Creek in Oklahoma. The Illini were second and the Wildcats fourth at Columbus.
The women’s tournament concluded their season by losing 3-2 to Stanford in the quarterfinals. Northwestern qualified for match play for the second straight year on Monday, getting through the 72-hole stroke play portion of the championship in fourth place.
Last year coach Emily Fletcher’s NU team was the national runner-up, losing to Arizona State in the final match at Rich Harvest Farms in Sugar Grove. This year’s team, with four returning players from last year’s squad, wasn’t as strong until the finals at Karsten Creek. Then Hannah Kim, a mainstay for four seasons but not quite as sharp as a senior, cemented herself as the best player in program history. She tied for 13th as an individual after playing the last 40 holes in 40-under-par.
The Golf Channel will provide live coverage of the women’s championship match plus next week’s individual finals and all three days of match play of the men’s event.
Arlington Heights’ Doug Ghim won the Ben Hogan Award as the nation’s top collegiate golfer. The University of Texas senior was the low amateur at the Masters in April and will lead the Longhorns into the men’s NCAA finals. They won the Raleigh Regional with Ghim the top individual.
The Web.com Tour’s Rust-Oleum Championship will have a former Masters champion in the field. Mike Weir, the Canadian left-handed player who won at Augusta in 2003, will compete on the PGA Tour’s alternate circuit at Ivanhoe Club from June 4-10.
Weir, 48, has $28 million in earnings and eight victories on the PGA Tour. He was awarded a place at Ivanhoe through a special eligibility category reserved for PGA Tour veterans in the 48 to 49 age group who are preparing for PGA Tour Champions. Weir’s parents are former Crystal Lake residents.
His play on the PGA Tour has been limited the last three years. He played in four tournaments on the main circuit this year off a major medical extension and had three missed cuts and a tie for 73rd place.
The Women’s Western Amateur, a national championship that’s been played for 117 years, will undergo a format change when it’s held June 26-30 at Mistwood in Romeoville.
The tournament will be limited to 120 players, based on the lowest handicap index. Last year the field was limited to 144 players. As per previous years there’ll be a 36-hole qualifying session spread over two days to determine the match play qualifiers. In previous years the low 64 qualifiers went to match play. This year the number will be only 32, and there will be playoffs if there are ties for the 32nd position.
In previous years the players who didn’t qualify for the championship flight of match play were be flighted into lower level flights. This year there will be only the one flight.

Update your commercial insurance as your company grows.
As your business grows, your needs change. You purchase more equipment and hire new employees, and you continue to expand. It’s important that your insurance keeps up with your needs. That way you’re not left vulnerable to business threats. Learn how to determine whether your commercial insurance meets your company needs. Here’s what you need to know.
Have you hired new employees?
When you hire new workers for your business, you must ensure that you have the right insurance coverage. Ensure that you update your workers’ compensation coverage as well as your employment practices liability coverage. Update your coverage amounts so that you have enough to protect your new workforce.
Have you purchased new equipment?
Your business equipment is a pricey investment. Your commercial property coverage helps give you the coverage that you need to repair and replace equipment after a disaster.

A Right to Fish the Oceans of this Planet without Permission?
Question: If I am in need of food for myself and family, would it be a crime to catch fish from the ocean for subsistence without a license, and if so, why? With inland waters I realize that lakes are stocked, policed and maintained and this service has to be paid for via taxes, licenses and fines. That’s understandable.
Answer: In California you can legally fish from public ocean piers without a fishing license. Finfish, crabs and lobsters may be found there in different areas. All regulations must still be followed but you can fish without a fishing license in these locations only. There are also two free fishing days per year (July 4 and Sept. 5 this year), allowing people to fish in ocean and inland waters without a license on those two designated days. In addition, any children in your family can fish without a license and be entitled to legal limits until they turn 16, when a license will be required. Except for the opportunities mentioned above, subsistence fishing without a sport fishing license in ocean or freshwater is not allowed.
California waters extend from the shore (high tide line) out to three miles, federal waters stretch from three miles to 200 miles and international waters begin at 200 miles out. All waters out to 200 miles are still patrolled and managed cooperatively with the federal government. Any fish taken outside of 200 miles must still meet all fishing regulations in order to be brought back into U.S. waters, and all fish landed at California ports must additionally meet all California regulations.
Fisheries in all state and federal waters have regulations and many have strict management guidelines to properly manage the take of various species to assure overfishing does not occur which could collapse those and related fisheries. Regulations and limitations of fishing activities and take is imperative, especially in waters of a state populated by 38 million people.
Scouting for abalone out of season?
Answer: Yes, it would be legal to dive with an abalone gauge as long as you don’t dive with an abalone iron or other means to detach abalone. As long as there is no attempt to take the abalone, and it is not handled or detached from the rocks, it would be legal.
Driving at night with flashlights to view wildlife?
Answer: Yes, as long as you do not have a method of take with you. You may, however, attract the attention of wildlife officers that are on the lookout for poachers using spotlights to find game. These officers may pull you over and detain you to inspect your vehicle to ensure you do not have a method of take. There are also some vehicle code provisions that prohibit the use of a flashlight or headlight on a public highway if it is shone into oncoming traffic or prevents other vehicles from seeing traffic control devices.
Question: I’m planning to go fishing for halibut and have read that the rig must not exceed two hooks. Can those two hooks be treble hooks?
Answer: Yes, you are not limited to two hooks and so treble hooks may be used (California Code of Regulations Title 14, section 28.65).

Posted by smithtl6 on Friday, June 7, 2013 in Courses.
Catalog Description: Nineteenth century to the present. Issues of race, gender, ethnicity, immigration, and diaspora. Offered on a graded basis only.
From the syllabus: This course surveys the major questions and themes of twentieth-century Jewish American literature and situates this literature in the context of ethnic writing in America. We will explore such topics such as dialect or voice, multilingualism, ethnic modernism, and racial and ethnic difference. At the beginning of the course will read novelistic accounts of Jewish immigration in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. During the second-half of the semester we will focus on the post-World War II transformation of Jewish writing, looking at writers who have been assimilated into the American literary canon. Some of the questions we will discuss in class are as follows: To what extent should we read these authors as Jewish writers and to what extent are they American? How do Jewish writers in America straddle the divide between Jewish culture and modern American life? How have they defined experience in modern American life? How can we relate Jewish writing to other so-called ethnic literatures? During the course of the semester, we will pay close attention to questions of immigration, gender, race, and ethnic identity.

The following is an excerpt from the Redefined Study. This introduction will be helpful to you if you are following along with us and do not have the study. We hope this gives you a better understanding of the purpose behind Redefined and the prayers behind this six-week look at identity in Christ. You can find the study here if you would like to purchase a copy.
Everyone has a story to tell. However, a lot of our stories we want to hide. The past has a way of controlling the present and the struggles of our daily lives become a burden we carry alone in an attempt to cover up our brokenness. We weren’t meant to live this way. Our heart has compartments that, if left untouched and unnoticed, can become a place of hoarded insecurities that keep us from walking in the fullness of grace. Jesus wants to empty out the junk drawers of our hearts and clear them away with truth, with hope, and with the cleansing power of His shed blood.
The answer to self esteem problems that plague women and add to our broken identities is found in something bigger than ourselves.
We often begin in the wrong place when trying to figure out who we are and mend the damage that sin has done. We bandaid our wounded souls with temporary fixes, words, and phrases in an attempt to soothe the aches of our souls. We want to know that we are more than what the reflections we see in the mirror. I’ve heard the statement “You are loved, you are chosen, you are beautiful” countless times, but when said apart from Christ, these phrases simply numb the soul and cannot bring lasting relief from our struggle with identity. The focus of these statements is you, and it is “me”. This is the problem with our bandaid fixes—I am not the answer, Jesus is.
However, if we are completely, recklessly honest, this is not what we initially want to hear. Because we are wired by sin to think of ourselves first, looking outside of our own issues is not our first response. I would rather hear that I am enough, I am beautiful, and I am brave before I want to hear anything about Christ, but there is a difference between what I want to hear and what I need to hear. I need the gospel, and the gospel is good news, but it is also hard news.
In my own struggles with identity and self-image, everything changed when I shifted my gaze from the mirror on the wall to the mirror of the Word. The mirror on the wall only reveals part of the big picture—the outer self verses the inner being. The mirror of the Word reflects both the heart and the body through the image of Christ. What we believe about Jesus is expressed through how we view ourselves. Right living begins with right thinking, and right thinking begins with having our minds saturated in the Word of God.
Peeling back the bandaid of temporary identity fixes can be painful and nerve- wracking. No one desires to be exposed. However, we learn in Ephesians 5:8, “for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light.” The light of the gospel exposes what has been tucked away in the junk drawers of our hearts and exchanges our trash for the treasure of the gospel. This is the healing ointment that is applied to our wounds by the Lord Jesus Himself, bringing comfort, conviction, and confidence to our souls.
As we open the Word together, humbled and hungry for more of Jesus, my prayer is that the Holy Spirit would not only free us but make us into women of deep conviction! We carry the healing ointment for this broken world. Don’t let the enemy hide your jar.
Join me in praying: Jesus, help me see myself the way You see me. Amen.

March 20, 2003 — War With Iraq — Shock & Awe . . . And Then Invasion.
March 20, 2003 — Hostilities start.
March 20, 2003 — sixteen years ago today, War with Iraq started. In March 2003, the United States, United Kingdom, Poland, Australia, Spain, Denmark, and Italy began preparing for the invasion of Iraq, with a host of public relations and military moves. In his 17 March 2003 address to the nation, Bush demanded that Saddam and his two sons, Uday and Qusay, surrender and leave Iraq, giving them a 48-hour deadline. But the U.S. began what was termed the Shock & Awe bombing of Iraq the day before the deadline expired. On 18 March 2003, the bombing of Iraq by the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Poland, Spain, Italy and Denmark began. Unlike the first Gulf War, this war had no explicit UN authorization.
The UK House of Commons held a debate on going to war on 18 March 2003 where the government motion was approved 412 to 149. The vote was a key moment in the history of the Blair administration, as the number of government MPs who rebelled against the vote was the greatest since the repeal of the Corn Laws in 1846. Three government ministers resigned in protest at the war, John Denham, Lord Hunt of Kings Heath, and the then Leader of the House of Commons Robin Cook. In a passionate speech to the House of Commons after his resignation, he said, “What has come to trouble me is the suspicion that if the ‘hanging chads’ of Florida had gone the other way and Al Gore had been elected, we would not now be about to commit British troops to action in Iraq.” During the debate, it was stated that the Attorney General had advised that the war was legal under previous UN Resolutions.
Dubbed Operation Iraqi Freedom, the initial “Shock & Awe” airstrikes took place on the Presidential Palace in Baghdad on 20 March 2003. The following day, coalition forces launched an incursion into Basra Province from their massing point close to the Iraqi-Kuwaiti border. While special forces launched an amphibious assault from the Persian Gulf to secure Basra and the surrounding petroleum fields, the main invasion army moved into southern Iraq, occupying the region and engaging in the Battle of Nasiriyah on 23 March. Massive air strikes across the country and against Iraqi command-and-control threw the defending army into chaos and prevented an effective resistance. On 26 March, the 173rd Airborne Brigade was airdropped near the northern city of Kirkuk, where they joined forces with Kurdish rebels and fought several actions against the Iraqi Army to secure the northern part of the country.
The main body of coalition forces continued their drive into the heart of Iraq and met with little resistance. Most of the Iraqi military was quickly defeated and the coalition occupied Baghdad on 9 April. Other operations occurred against pockets of the Iraqi Army, including the capture and occupation of Kirkuk on 10 April, and the attack on and capture of Tikrit on 15 April. Iraqi president Saddam Hussein and the central leadership went into hiding as the coalition forces completed the occupation of the country. On 1 May President George W. Bush declared an end to major combat operations: this ended the invasion period and began the period of military occupation.
As a reminder, here is the first hour, as the initial airstrikes were being reported, followed by President Bush’s address to the nation that the war had started. And 16 years later . . . ?

We have two HP3070 (one Series 3 and one Series 2) here at our facility, and recently updated the configuration on the Series 2 to match that of the Series 3. However....when running TestJet on some projects, everything failed. Digging, further, we found that the MUX card being used in this fixture is actually a VTEP MUX card. We suspect that either the Series 2 tester does not support VTEP or we're just missing a license/driver file. Any ideas?
The software version 05.30 or above in Windows environment support VTEP.
The license for VTEP is free which comes with software. You need to upgrade the software in order to run VTEP test and enjoy the latest VTEP technologies..i.e. CET, VTEP V2.
I am attaching some information on VTEP/TestJet for your reference.

The dentist you choose to care for your teeth and gums will be an invaluable asset to your dental health over the years. When it comes to finding the right dentist in South Hadley, there is no “one size fits all” dentist. You have unique oral health needs, and these needs will change as time goes on. As a result, spend time researching dentists to ensure you make a wise decision. At Newton Street Dental, we understand the difficult and important decision you face. To help make the task easier, we have three key areas you need to consider when choosing a new dentist.
The level of care you receive will be supported by the dentist’s qualifications and experience. Choose one who is well trained in an array of dental specialties, as well as holds a lengthy positive reputation for success. For example, Dr. Douglas Leigh provides exceptional dentistry as a graduate of the State University of New York at Buffalo. His passion for dentistry has led him to advanced training in a diversity of dental fields, including restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, implant dentistry, and Invisalign.
Often, when choosing a dentist, you always consider their general dentistry services. However, the health of your teeth and gums is not the only aspect that matters. While they are important, the appearance of your smile is equally as vital. If you do not love your smile, your confidence will suffer.
You need a dentist who offers cosmetic services to ensure your teeth look their very best. In addition to basic services, like tooth-colored fillings and teeth whitening, look for a dentist who offers specialized services as well. Choose a dental office who offers orthodontics, porcelain veneers, all-ceramic crowns, and other advanced cosmetic procedures to maintain a confident smile.
Dental advancements and methodologies are constantly changing. To provide patients with high-quality care, the dentist you choose should have several hours of continued education. By continuing their education, they can provide exceptional dental services using the most current dental practices and technology.
Dr. Leigh understands the importance of continuing his education to provide his patients with elite dentistry. As a result, he completes more than 50 hours of continued education every year. This allows him to provide his patients with exceptional services when performing common procedures, such as root canal therapy. His advanced training allows him to embrace elite dental technology, such as digital imaging, to enhance the level of care his patients receive.
When looking for a new dentist, do not make your decision in haste. Take the time to research dentists in the area to make a wise investment in your dental health. If you need a new dentist, benefit from comprehensive, comfortable care with Newton Street Dental. Dr. Leigh and his staff provide the individualized care you need to maintain a healthy, beautiful smile for a lifetime. Contact our office today to schedule your appointment. We raise the bar for superior dental services.

For many, it’s the Welsh word Cwtch that is usually referred to in the context of a favourite.
Translated as a cuddle or a safe place, it’s a great word and carries lots of meaning. My favourite though, just edging cwtch is hiraeth, Like the former, it doesn’t have an exact corresponding word in English.
It means a sense of longing for Wales; feeling homesick I guess is a good way to describe it. It was an emotion that I experienced way back before I even came across the word itself.
In fact it was a conversation that I had with a fluent Welsh speaker some years ago, who pointed out to me that the way that I felt was summed up by one particular word. Hiraeth.
Whenever I go to Wales there’s always a part of me that feels I’m going home. I’ve been to Scotland numerous times in recent years, passing through the English Lake District. Both are stunning as far as scenery is concerned.
However, it’s Wales that does it for me. I love being in the natural world of my ancestors. Hiraeth indeed.

We tell our kids to use their words. But how often do we use ours?
Meet Kate Hopper. Kate teaches writing online and at The Loft Literary Center in Minneapolis, where she lives with her husband and two daughters. Kate holds an MFA in creative writing from the University of Minnesota and has been the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship, a Minnesota State Arts Board Grant, and a Sustainable Arts Grant. Not too shabby, huh? Kate's writing has appeared in a number of journals, including�Brevity,�Literary Mama, and�The New York Times online. She is currently an editor at�Literary Mama.
In her new book Use Your Word: A Writing Guide for Mothers, Kate writes thoughtfully about using writing as a means to process parenthood, and life.
...I believe that you can experience a transformation�a therapeutic transformation�in the writing process and still end up with art... If you are truly doing [this] work of �reckoning,� of diving in and fearlessly searching for the story in the material of your life, it�s impossible for you not to make discoveries and gain perspective on the life you�ve lived. Isn�t that process, at least on some level, therapeutic? Experiencing that does not detract from what an author has carefully crafted.
Take a few minutes and describe your mother. If you didn�t have a mother growing up, did someone else play a mothering role in your life? Describe her. Maybe you didn�t feel you had a �good� mother and maybe you didn�t know anyone who fit this description. So what would a �good� mother look like? How did/does this ideal affect your own parenting? How have you parented your own child the same or differently?
Your turn! Answer the above prompt in 600 words or less and email it to me at ivyleagueinsecurites [at] gmail [dot] com by one week from today (5/16). I will submit the best entry to Kate Hopper and the contest winner will receive a copy of Kate's book, a one-hour phone or Skype consultation with Kate Hopper, and a chance for publication in Literary Mama's online magazine!

We visited a salt farm near Pichilemu to learn about sea salt.
The salt farm was pretty neat. It's a simple operation that was quite similar to rice fields. There are some dykes that allow ocean water to flow in during high tide, then they slowly drain through various pools, causing the ocean salt to dry up in the hot sun.
As the salt forms on the surface of the water, it is skimmed off and put in big piles to dry, then it's sold for 1000 CLP/kg.

The font, Razed (pronounced raised), gets its name from “erased” due to it’s minimalist approach to character design. The dictionary definition of “raised” is “more intense or stong than usual; higher”. A modern, contemporary font for graphic design!

“When police arrived at the location, they found the victim laying on his side on the edge of the roadway suffering from multiple gunshot wounds,” Bonds said.
The chief said the wife of the man who was shot had picked up a woman prior to the shooting. The two went into a store at 1230 Kingshighway and ran into Johnson, who is her ex-boyfriend.
“The woman said (Johnson) bought both of them a beer. When they were leaving the store, he followed them out and was flirting with her friend. He ended up leaving with them in the vehicle,” Bonds said.
The three went to a friend’s house on Rosemont Avenue where Johnson argued with someone there and shot his gun, according to Bonds. No one was injured and the three then drove to 5700 Portland Place.
The man’s wife called him while he was on his way to meet the three at the Portland Place residence and he said he could hear arguing in the background, Bonds said. Later the man was told Johnson had threatened his wife.
He then confronted Johnson, according to Bonds. At some point officers say Johnson pulled out a handgun and shot the man at least six times but as may as 10. The man who was shot returned fire.
Johnson reportedly fled the scene and ran toward his mother’s Washington Park home, Bonds said.
Police recovered both weapons during their investigation.
Bonds said police have not determined a motive for the shooting.

For the first time, scientists have been able to image brain activity when people change their short-term beliefs, and to relate this brain activity to dopamine function in humans.
A new report has come up with alarming numbers of deaths due to drug overdose among Australians. The report states that common sedatives and sleeping pills may be responsible for over 142 deaths each month due to their overdose.
America's drug problem may be even worse than officials realize. And illicit drugs are consumed at a higher rate during celebratory events. Those are just two of the conclusions scientists have drawn from recent studies of drug residues in sewage.
A new study conducted by the Center for Injury Research and Policy and the Central Ohio Poison Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital found that there were more than 156,000 calls to US Poison Control Centers regarding exposures to attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder medications among children and adolescents 19 years of age and younger from January 2000 through December 2014, averaging 200 calls each week or 29 calls per day.
A team of Massachusetts General Hospital investigators has identified factors that may increase the risk of drug overdose in adolescents and young adults. In their report published online in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, the researchers describe finding that more than a quarter of those seeking treatment at Addiction Recovery Management Service, an MGH-based outpatient substance-use-disorder treatment program for youth ages 14 to 26, had a history of at least one overdose.
Spectral Engines, a growth company that originated at VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, is about to launch a portable drug screening device police patrols can use for rapid and cost-efficient on-site screening of suspected drugs.
Substance abuse is a continuing problem in the U.S., particularly with heroin and other opioids, to the point of being an epidemic.
Consumption of the synthetic drug MDPV -a powerful psychostimulant known as 'cannibal drug'- in adolescence, can increase vulnerability of cocaine addiction during adulthood, according to a study carried out with laboratory animals and led by the researchers Elena Escubedo, from the Faculty of Pharmacy and Food Sciences and the Institute of Biomedicine of the UB and Olga Valverde, head of the Neurobiology of Behaviour Research Group of Pompeu Fabra University.

Persistent easterly winds the next few days will likely wreak havoc with sight casting opportunities in the lagoon’s shallow waters.
Mosquito Lagoon: Capt. Tom Van Horn of Mosquito Coast Fishing Charters said persistent easterly winds the next few days will likely wreak havoc with sight casting opportunities in the lagoon’s shallow waters. Fish the eastern side of the lagoon for best results and it doesn’t hurt to begin with topwater plugs for surface strikes from trout, especially. Fish the outside edge of the major sand bars, he said, with lures like his favorites, the High Roller and the Rip Roller in the Florida special color. His anglers early in the week caught 20 spotted seatrout up to 27 inches and a couple of redfish, too. As the sun gets higher in the sky, switch to DOA 4-inch jerk baits to find bites from black drum.
Offshore: Another windy weekend appears to be heading this way, and that’s going to stymie plans to get out after dolphin, cobia, snapper and yellowfin tuna. What was that? Tuna? You bet. Make plans to get ready now because when the stops blowing, there should be big yellowfin running the currents on the east side of the Gulf Stream. Boats running out of Stuart over to The Corner scored nicely Sunday and Monday with yellowfins to 100 pounds and a couple of blue marlin releases, too.
Surf: The bluefish attack is well underway along area beaches. Are they heading north, or taking their time, spawning along the way? Are they coming from Miami, Jupiter or Brazil? There has been some recent conversation on social media about it, but one thing is certain – these bluefish are big, in the 10-12 pound range, and will slam anything shiny or blue. Toss Clark spoons or big topwater plugs like Yo-Zuri poppers for great rodbending fun. Big 20-30-pound jack crevalles are also schooling in the same areas.
Indian River Lagoon: Capt. Alex Gorichky of Local Lines charters out of Merritt Island said the kayak fishing in the lagoon is productive for sight casting over-slot redfish. Angler Rob Ellis caught and released a trophy red Wednesday by tossing the Slayer Inc. SST XL, a paddletail jerk bait, in the pearl color with the chartreuse tail. Black drum, sheepshead, a few snook, and ladyfish and jacks make up the rest of the reliable targets when fishing quiet pockets along natural shorelines, or pitching lures under docks.
Sebastian Inlet: The action at the jetties is predominantly made up of big bites from bluefish and jacks passing within casting range of the jetties during the change of tides. Big spoons, topwater plugs and cut bait are getting action. Getting a bait to the bottom can yield slot snook, overslot snook and slot redfish, too. Flounder can be picked up by drifting the inlet west of the A1A bridge during the incoming tide, or by casting from the T-dock on the south side, or fishing from the beach west of the wading pool on the north side.
Freshwater: Van Horn said this is the time of year to expect plenty of fast action on the waters of the St. Johns River, both in the upper marsh and in the lakes in western Brevard County. He said to try fishing the river bends for schooling bass at first light. They will be feeding on the threadfin shad. Van Horn loves to fish from the Osteen Bridge to the south end of Lake Harney where the St. Johns enters the lake, especially north of Lemon Bluff. To dial in on action, he said look for spots where white pelicans or other birds are along the shoreline where they just fed.

I Wanted to Create My Own Patchwork Designs.
There are many reasons why our students choose to study a distance learning textiles craft course at the School of Stitched Textiles. Some are looking for an advanced learning programme to advance their knowledge and skills and others feel that it is simply time to do something for themselves. One particular student, Gill Thompson turned to textiles as a way of overcoming personal difficulties.
‘A sewing machine sitting on the table was an almost permanent sight in my house growing up. Not only did my mother make clothes for both herself and me, she also made clothes for Cindy dolls as a home worker. My toy sewing machine was set up next to hers and I remember getting very irate realising it wasn’t stitching the same as hers. Needle work at school followed, giving me the skills to go on and make clothes for me and my daughters. Cross-stitch, Tapestry, and Embroidery continued my interest with needle and thread. Then life intervened; a career and children meant that stitching took a back seat.
At 48 everything changed, a breakdown led to me giving up work. An ex-colleague stayed in touch and helped me through that difficult time in my life with trips to local artists’ workshops. One ‘Open Studio’ where I saw a depiction of a Cornish harbour made with all sorts of fabric scraps particularly sticks in my mind as I remember thinking “I wonder if I could do that”.
This is when sewing came back in to my life. While I was sitting stitching, either by hand or with the machine, I realised that I was totally calm. I became lost in what I was doing and nothing else mattered. Soon after, I started to visit a selection of local workshops, increasing my sewing ability but also regaining my social confidence and after some time joined a regular patchwork group.
The day my eldest moved in to his first flat was bittersweet. My son had flown the nest, but my newly acquired sewing room went some way to consoling me! Every cloud has a patchwork lining. I finally had space for my fabric stash, extensive library of books, and even a seat for my very patient husband.
This is now my sanctuary and 10 years after leaving work my life has totally changed and my skill set has expanded more than I could possibly have imagined. I am now working part time at Sew Creative Quilts, a local business. I have no idea where all this is going to take me, but I am excited about the journey, even at my age.
I left school at 16 and spent the intervening years doing countless courses covering every aspect of my career. This gave me a wealth of experience but not nothing that I could point to and say “hey, look what I did!”. With new found confidence in my sewing, I decided a City & Guilds textiles craft course was the way forward. Living on the North Norfolk coast my only real option was to do an online textiles course. After doing my research I chose the School of Stitched Textiles. I felt the Level 3 in Patchwork and Quilting was both achievable yet challenging.
We’d like to thank Gill for sharing her very personal and touching story. We are so pleased that your course has given you a new found confidence in your own abilities. You’re making great progress.

Fishing Monthly Magazines : Fyans keeps firing "
The Ballarat and district anglers finally have something to smile about.
We have had some fish releases into waters that haven’t been stocked for almost 10 years and the future looks nothing but rosy. Thanks must go to Fisheries Victoria and associated angling bodies and associations.
There have been some trout released into Greenhill Lake at Ararat, Newlyn Reservior, Cosgroves and others. I went for a drive out to Lake Burrumbete to have a look the water levels of the lake after our big winter wet and to my amazement there were people water skiing on the lake. Let’s hope some fish get in there soon.
Lake Fyans in the picturesque Grampians region is the place to go as it has been firing for months.
My family recently had a weekend up there and the fishing action was pretty good on the Saturday and Sunday. There were around 20 boats on the water both days with anglers trolling, casting soft plastics, flyfishing and bait fishing. Trolling lures seemed to be the most productive form with my brother in-law Mark catching some lovely brown trout to 2.5kg; the best lure was a pink Tassie Devil.
The Victorian Fly fishing championships have also been held at Fyans recently with some 22 fly fishers from all over the state catching and releasing some 131 brown and rainbow trout. The biggest trout for the weekend was around 2kg and the winning angler was Ballarat’s Vern Barby with second going to Brian Hughes. All fish were caught fishing loch style from boats.
The Ballarat and district anglers association recently held the annual kids fishing day in Ballarat at the Victoria park lakes the day coincides with the recent school holidays.
Fisheries Victoria released trout into the lakes a few days prior to the day. This year some 220 children participated in the day with each child receiving a show bag full of goodies including magazines, drink bottles and fishing related gifts.
The kids along with parents and members of the association assisted the children to try and catch a trout.
There were plenty caught mostly using Powerbait fished on a running sinker rig. It’s great to see the smile on the kids faces and parents when they catch their first trout, our next generation of fishermen are born we hope.
Lake Purrumbete still seems to be the place to go in the western district with plenty of trout and redfin being caught. Brian Nyygaard has recently been in the relieving caretakers position at the caravan park and reports plenty of brown trout around 1-2kg have been caught. All angling methods have been successful and the redfin for those that chase them are still on the bite with local minnows the best bait.
Mark Ward with his Lake Fyans brown trout that weighed around 2.5kg.

0:05Skip to 0 minutes and 5 secondsSo we've now considered both quantitative and qualitative measurement of antibiotic use, which are both essential for antimicrobial stewardship. However, we saw in the scenario that this data is only useful if it's shared with clinical teams who can make the improvements, and also with managers who are responsible for the delivery of safe and effective care. So it looks to me, Jacqui, like the antimicrobial management team did have some useful data, but they just didn't share it. What would you suggest? Well, data must be shared with the clinicians who are prescribing and administering antibiotics in a systematic way, and preferably in real time. This will allow them to address any deficiencies by changing their practice. Yeah. Yeah, I can see that, Jacqui.
0:53Skip to 0 minutes and 53 secondsBut how are these changes fed back to the staff in order that they can improve the quality of prescribing? Well, data that you have from compliance audits or point prevelance surveys should be discussed with the clinical team on the ward as soon as possible after you've collected that data. And this might be through presenting at a ward meet or supplying charts to display on the wall or just through talking to staff on the ward. So a variety of ways then. OK. Thank you. So that was useful for everyone, Jacqui, for everyone to see how they're performing, but what would you do if you have a much larger data set, a report, or the findings of a point prevalence survey?
1:38Skip to 1 minute and 38 secondsWhat would you do in those situations? Well, it's important that clinical leads and hospital managers get to see this type of data because they're the ones responsible for clinical care. So if you have large reports such as this, then there are various ways you can share this. It could be via email. It could be at meetings, and clinical meetings or management meetings that these papers can be presented and discussed and then some agreement made on what actions are required. OK. I can see that that's really helpful and sounds very sensible and I think would've helped in the ESBL outbreak that we've considered.
2:18Skip to 2 minutes and 18 secondsAnd I guess, finally, do you have any other tips around the best ways to feedback data in order to bring about an effective change and improve in the quality of prescribing? Well, the other technique that is quite good is comparison with peers and identification of any prescribers who are outliers, and these may help to change behaviours. Many methods can be used for feeding back data, and it really depends on the audience and whether the data is being used for scrutiny, such as things like targets or whether it's for quality improvement at the individual ward patient level. Published reports are useful, run charts in the wards, benchmarking tables, these are all examples of feedback outputs.
3:07Skip to 3 minutes and 7 secondsAnd they all have their uses depending on what your audience is. So that's helpful. But perhaps the key message is that important though it is to measure it is equally and perhaps even more important then to share the measurement, to share the findings in order to bring about a change to improve the quality of prescribing. Would you agree, Jacqui? Yes. I think that's the key message. Measure the data but remember to feed it back, because that's the only way that it's going to drive quality improvement and optimise your prescribing of antibiotics. Thank you.
This week we have considered how to collect both quantitative and qualitative information about antibiotic prescribing and how it may be fed back to various healthcare professionals – the purpose of feeding back data is to elicit a change in behaviour.
The ‘human factors’ element of behaviour change relating to antimicrobial stewardship will be studied further in Week 5.
All of the resources for this week have been logged on the BSAC resource platform ARC. These can be accessed here: ARC. For resources for this week search using MOOCWEEKTHREE or MOOCWEEK3.

Admittedly, my view of the world is about as significant as an ant in the middle of a manure pile, but symbolism aside, I believe the above quote pretty much says it all. When I read it, my first thought was that it referred to leaders in the late 1800s, when Samuel Clemens was alive, but then I rapidly came to the conclusion that it's just as true today. This poses the question: Why don't I feel better for the future considering the advancements in the world in the last century? Perhaps it's because the more time I spend trying to understand world situations, politicians and their seemingly irrational acts of decision making, I am thrown into a massive cranial squeeze resulting in further shrinking of my pea brain.
In reality, it's only causing a slight delay in the construction of my ‘crisis cave’ for family, some good friends and my pet caterpillar. I'm sure many of you would admit to doing the same thing, or at least thinking about it, when you hear the advertisements for guns, ammunition, survival foods or when simply contemplating the national debt.
Nevertheless, let me know if you want a copy of my crisis center plans. They include obsolete Solyndra solar panels, A123 batteries, Beacon Power flywheel energy storage and a 10-passenger Tesla SUV. Isn't it great when government spends our hard earned taxes on loans to businesses that mysteriously go bankrupt, but we never even get an “I'm sorry?” What is even more mind-boggling is the testimony of Secretary Chu, of the Department of Energy, on March 1, 2012, before the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. Committee member Representative Paul Broun of Georgia said he believed the DOE was clueless in making good business investments, and, as a result, a billion dollars was ill-spent in political favoritism that will have to be paid by the American taxpayers. With that in mind. he asked what grade the Secretary would deserve for his management of the DOE resources over the past three years. Secretary Chu, after citing a couple of generalities of success, stated, “There's always room for improvement, maybe an A-.” I'm sorry, but that assessment is simply bizaaaare!
Then there's the GSA's “business meeting” boondoggle in Las Vegas that only cost taxpayers $823,000. Not only do I think the cost is excessive, but the agency boss (leader) takes the fifth so he can't tell us why he thought it was such a great idea and if he cared or even knew it was taxpayers' money. I could just see a branch manager taking his employees to Vegas for a team-building exercise, spending $50,000 and then facing the boss and taking the fifth, or even the sixth. No way, my friend.
It would be nice if someone could tell me how I can become confident in our appointed officials to care or even comprehend who pays their salary and who is responsible to stop the blatant waste and absurd decisions of the likewise taxpayer-subsidized employees under them? Or, worse case, do they believe we are all stupid? I believe I have the answer to both those questions, if you don't.
In conclusion, it seems to me the term “too big to fail,” which has been tagged by the administration on private enterprise businesses, should more appropriately be ascribed to our government. Is government out of control, or has it become too big to control? I fear I also know the answer to that question.

The Alchemy excels at shielding the foot from harm, thanks mainly to its plastic midsole plate, which puts feet on the straight and narrow (correcting overpronation) while absorbing impact. The plate is topped off with a layer of foam cushioning to keep it from feeling too firm, something that contributed to what several testers called the shoe's soft, smooth ride. Recommended as a protective trainer for average-to large-sized marathoners.

So, I didn’t. Consider it, that is. I got through that final, wretched week, made the final, back-breaking part of the move, started one job, then another. I tumbled headlong for my funky little ville – its sea breezes and sunrises over Mount Baker; the deer wandering on beaches, porpoises weaving in the bay, eagles floating just above Doug firs; those fine Friday nights sitting outside the Pourhouse, watching tipsy bocce ball matches and dogs chasing seagulls; walking my brief commute instead of timing a drive to avoid the inevitable Seattle snarls. In a few short weeks, it seemed as if I’d left the old life in the dust, with nary a glance in the rearview mirror.
I recounted here the night in November when I battled rain, the nasty Mapquest Wench and my night-driving terrors to walk unfashionably late into an info session about a local university’s MFA in Creative Writing.
I wrote my personal essay. I cringed over my sample piece of writing. I fretted about the letters of recommendation, wondering if faculty from my Masters degree would remember me, nearly twenty years on (Lord, it’s happened. I’m middle-aged. It’s no longer “Oh, my 20th high school reunion is next year; it’s “I completed a Masters degree. Twenty years ago.).
But I got the darn thing in. Eleventh hour. End of January. My first – my only – MFA application.
I had it all planned out, in the unlikely event I was accepted. I’d cut back to three days of work during the academic terms. The tuition was shocking, but we’d just paid off the car. Spread out over two years, the tuition and fees could be easily managed, no need for a loan, Bob’s your uncle.
Then things got messy. Crappy, really. We decided it was time to go.
And they decided to admit me. With a scholarship.
There was grace in the form of a deferment. Of all people, I know how life can change in a year’s time. Or in ten minutes.
Acceptance into a Creative Writing MFA program felt like finding the Golden Ticket in a Willy Wonka chocolate bar. I’d get to see the inside of that mysterious house on the hill. I’d be an invited guest, learn all the secrets and emerge a changed writer. A real writer. Right?
About a mile from my house is Fort Worden State Park. If the film An Officer and a Gentleman appears in your pop culture lexicon, then you’ve seen Fort Worden. As well as the Port Townsend Paper Mill. And the inside of Room 10 at the Tides Motel. I’ve stayed in that room. Don’t you. Trust me on this one.
Fort Worden – besides being a sublime place to run, to picnic, beachcomb, catch some astonishing views – is home to many arts and crafts endeavors, including Copper Canyon Press and the Port Townsend School of Woodworking. It also houses Centrum, one of the Pacific Northwest’s premier arts organizations. Centrum’s Jazz and Blues, Fiddle and Chamber Music festivals are world-renowned, as are its dance programs. Were I an artist afloat, I’d sure as heck want to land a residency there. It is the temple around which this Mecca for creative souls is built. At least I already live here. Which is so very near to there.
And for two weeks each summer, Centrum hosts the Port Townsend Writers’ Conference. You can opt to spend your mornings in a Master Class with a Famous Writer or Poet and afternoons attending your choice of workshops; or you can attend the afternoon workshops only. Lunch and evening lectures are free. One week or two, depending upon your budget. And your courage.
Of course I planned on signing up for the conference. I can WALK there, for Pete’s sake.
But I kept putting it off. The folder sat on my desk for weeks. I started then cancelled my on-line registration twice. Not because of the money. Or the dodgy state of the job. Or thoughts that I should be busy finding another (pretty much worked through that one. “No” is the approach du jour). I couldn’t decide if I wanted to do a morning Master Class and if I did, which one? With Famous Author or the guy I hadn’t heard of? Or maybe not Master Class, but just the afternoon workshops? One or two weeks of afternoons only? Or one full week with Master Class and afternoons? Or?
I’m not an indecisive person. I brook no dithering. So, what’s the problem here, Julie? Sign up, already.
I realized by clicking “Confirm” on the registration form, I was making a statement about myself, identifying myself as a writer in a forum populated by published authors, some of whom make a living with their scribbles. I’d be expected, you know, to write. Intimidation and insecurity kept my finger hovering, wavering and finally, withdrawing from that final click.
But hey, wait. I’m published! Somebody wanted me badly enough for their MFA program, they offered me what funding they could. And neither one of those has anything to do with being a writer. The only rules, qualifications, expectations are those I’d saddled myself with.
Much to my relief disappointment expectation, my dithering netted me a spot on the Wait List for Master Class with Famous Writer. I’m Lucky Wait List Contestant #3. Not so bad, really. And if a spot doesn’t open up, well then. It’s two weeks of afternoon workshops for me.
Of course I’m going. It’s what I came here to do.
Next year will be what it will. Next month is spoken for.

Hospice is a way of caring for patients with end-of-life illnesses by supporting their family and loved ones through the illness and dying process. Our goal is to help patients live as fully and as comfortably as possible, and provide their caregivers and loved ones the instruction and support they need. This is achieved by addressing the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the patient and the family. Hospice treats the person, not the disease.
"Palliative care" is offered earlier in the illness and treats symptoms more aggressively - often employing medical treatments to prolong life. Care is usually given in hospitals, ambulatory clinics or at other support services.
"Hospice care" begins later when a terminal diagnosis of approximately 6 months or less has been made. It provides care where the patient lives, and keeps the patient as pain and symptom-free as possible with an emphasis on quality of life. Many hospice patients live beyond six months due to the extra supports and expertise the hospice team provides.
What are the criteria for receiving Niagara Hospice services?
The patient must have a life-limiting/terminal illness with a prognosis of approximately six months or less, if the disease runs its normal course as stated by a patient's physician and the hospice medical director. This is determined by Medicare medical guidelines.
The person's place of residence must be in Niagara County to receive services from Niagara Hospice; they may live with their caregiver who resides in Niagara County or in a contracted assisted living or skilled nursing facility, or an adult home.
The patient needs to elect (choose) the hospice benefit by signing an Election of Benefits form.
Is Hospice for specific diseases or ages?
The majority of hospice patients are cared for in the comfort of their own home or their caregiver's home, but they may also receive care in nursing or adult care homes, in the hospital, or at Niagara Hospice House. Hospice care is provided by an interdisciplinary team of professionals including doctors, pharmacists, nurses, social workers, spiritual care coordinators, massage and music therapists, hospice aides, homemakers and volunteers who work with the patient, the family, and the patient's primary physician. Bereavement counselors are available to family members following the death of their loved one.
When a person or their loved one faces the challenge of a serious illness, it's time to find out about hospice services so an informed decision can be made regarding choices for the future. Having all the appropriate information about hospice will help the patient and their family to understand the role Niagara Hospice might play if the disease continues to advance. Individuals may ask their physician about hospice care or call Niagara Hospice at (716) 439-4417 or 716-HOSPICE.
Who can make a referral for Hospice care?
Anyone. Referrals are made by family, friends, neighbors, staff at health care facilities, ministers, and doctors. Individuals may also call Hospice themselves to find out if they are hospice appropriate. If a person is found to be appropriate after an initial consultation, a physician order is required for admission into the program.
Most health insurances including Medicare, Medicaid, Managed Long Term Care programs, and the Veterans Administration (VA) have hospice coverage. No one is denied care due to ability to pay. Care for patients without insurance or with limited insurance is paid for privately and can be based on a sliding fee scale. Niagara Hospice raises funds to help off-set costs, provide charity care, and to support the mission of Niagara Hospice.
Hospice provides an on-call nurse 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year. The visiting hospice nurse teaches the family and/or primary caregiver how to best care for the patient. Hospice Aide services are available in the home, if necessary, for helping with the physical care of the patient. Trained hospice volunteers are also available to assist at times. Some families supplement their Hospice-provided services with their own privately paid help. In some instances, insurance may cover this.
Some people feel that choosing Hospice means giving up hope. Is this true?
No. Everyone needs hope. Niagara Hospice assists the patient and family as they come to terms with their own vision of hope and its' role in their lives. Receiving Niagara Hospice services means that cure-oriented treatments are no longer effective. The patient's comfort, dignity and choices come first. As they set goals for themselves, the Niagara Hospice team helps them achieve their personalized goals. Choosing Hospice isn't giving up hope - it's getting help!
How can someone volunteer with Hospice?
Can anyone be admitted to Niagara Hospice House?
Niagara Hospice House is for hospice patients in need of short-term in-patient care or longer term residential care. The 10-suite GIP (General In-patient) unit is for patients in need of 24-hour medical monitoring to get pain and/or other symptoms under control. When available, it can also be used for brief respite stays to give the caregiver a much needed break, or to provide time to get needed equipment placed in the home. The 10-suite residential wing is for Hospice patients who are unable to safely stay in their own home.
Are there visiting hours at Hospice House?
Patients may receive visitors at any time, if it is in the best interest of the patient. Doors are open from 8am - 8pm. When doors are locked, visitors are able to phone the nurses' station from outside the lobby to gain entrance. Accommodations are available for family members to stay overnight if they wish.
How can I help Niagara Hospice?
Niagara Hospice relies on the community for financial support to provide services to individuals who are uninsured or underinsured. The organization is funded by grants, corporate donations, planned and deferred giving, community events, and tax-deductible voluntary contributions. These funds allow us to provide charity care when needed, as well as develop new services that help keep the agency innovative and responsive in the ever-changing healthcare field.
If you have questions or need more information on how to help, call us at (716) 439-4417.
A better way to live...the Niagara Hospice difference.

The 500X has standard Reactive Head Restraints, which use a specially designed headrest to protect the driver and front passenger from whiplash. During a rear-end collision, the Reactive Head Restraints system moves the headrests forward to prevent neck and spine injuries. The Rav4 Hybrid doesn’t offer a whiplash protection system.
Both the 500X and the Rav4 Hybrid have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, driver knee airbags, side-impact head airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, height-adjustable front shoulder belts, four-wheel antilock brakes, all-wheel drive, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, daytime running lights, rearview cameras, available crash mitigating brakes, lane departure warning systems, blind spot warning systems, front and rear parking sensors and rear cross-path warning.
For its top level performance in all IIHS frontal, side, rear impact and roof-crush tests, and with its optional front crash prevention system, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety grants the 500X the rating of “Top Pick” for 2017, a rating granted to only 154 vehicles tested by the IIHS. The Rav4 Hybrid has not been tested, yet.
The 500X comes with a full 4-year/50,000-mile basic warranty, which covers the entire truck and includes free 24-hour roadside assistance. The Rav4 Hybrid’s 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty expires 1 year and 14,000 miles sooner.
The engine in the 500X has a single overhead cam for simplicity. The engine in the Rav4 Hybrid has dual overhead cams, which add to the number of moving parts and the complexity of the cylinder heads.
In heavy traffic or at stoplights the 500X’s engine automatically turns off when the vehicle is stopped, saving fuel and reducing pollution. The engine is automatically restarted when the driver gets ready to move again. (Start/Stop isn’t accounted in present EPA fuel mileage tests.) The Rav4 Hybrid doesn’t offer an automatic engine start/stop system.
The 500X has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Rav4 Hybrid doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system.
The 500X AWD’s standard tires provide better handling because they have a lower 60 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Rav4 Hybrid LE/XLE’s standard 65 series tires. The 500X AWD Trekking/Trekking Plus’ optional tires have a lower 55 series profile than the Rav4 Hybrid XSE/Limited’s 60 series tires.
The 500X has standard front and rear gas-charged shocks for better control over choppy roads. The Rav4 Hybrid’s suspension doesn’t offer gas-charged shocks.
The 500X has vehicle speed sensitive variable-assist power steering, for low-effort parking, better control at highway speeds and during hard cornering, and a better feel of the road. The Rav4 Hybrid doesn’t offer variable-assist power steering.
The 500X Pop handles at .79 G’s, while the Rav4 Hybrid XSE pulls only .75 G’s of cornering force in a Motor Trend skidpad test.
The 500X Pop executes Motor Trend’s “Figure Eight” maneuver quicker than the Rav4 Hybrid XSE (28 seconds @ .61 average G’s vs. 28.4 seconds @ .61 average G’s).
The Fiat 500X may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 400 to 500 pounds less than the Toyota Rav4 Hybrid.
The 500X Pop/Trekking Plus is 1 foot, 1.7 inches shorter than the Rav4 Hybrid, making the 500X easier to handle, maneuver and park in tight spaces.
The 500X has .4 inches more front legroom and 4.5 inches more rear hip room than the Rav4 Hybrid.
The 500X’s liftgate lifts up in one piece, completely out of the way of loading and unloading, while sheltering the cargo loading area. The Rav4 Hybrid’s swing out door blocks loading from the driver’s side.
The 500X’s standard variable intermittent wipers have an adjustable delay to allow the driver to choose a setting that best clears the windshield during light rain or mist. The Rav4 Hybrid LE’s standard fixed intermittent wipers only have one fixed delay setting, so the driver will have to manually switch them between slow and intermittent.
The 500X’s standard outside mirrors include heating elements to clear off the mirrors for better visibility. Toyota charges extra for heated mirrors on the Rav4 Hybrid.
The 500X (except Pop)’s available GPS navigation system has a real-time traffic update feature that plots alternative routes to automatically bypass traffic problems. (Service not available in all areas.) The Rav4 Hybrid’s available navigation system doesn’t offer real-time traffic updates.

happened? Meron bang replay sa Youtube?
Wait Lang!!!! Niluluto pa ang results( meaning deliberation moment).
OMG… anyare na sa Mr. Gay World… naging comedy bar na ang peg… Wala na ba ibang form ng entertainment?… Kailangan gawing katatawanan ang sarili?…Why not a world class performance from an LGBT member?… They are suppose to shatter barriers and stereo-types right?
So now it can be said – naging busy pala ang KF (at di sumali sa MWP dahil) sa Mr. Gay World Philippines since may roles sila sa production. Pati si Janicel ay isa sa mga judges.
That said, ang haba naman nitong program at intermission. At talagang pati ang Miss Universe Top 3 Q&A at crowning fiasco ay ni-reenact pa nitong group na to.
Ang payat lang ni Zamboanga pero parang sya ang pinaka desserving. Me height and face din naman.
Baka sya pa manalo… Sya na pinaka maayos mag Q&A.
In fairness, natapos din coronation ni Catriona. Tagal niya naghintay ha, mga 3 weeks.
Very true, inip na inip nga sya eh.
I thought c Ivana ang 1st princess and Ariane is 2nd Princess.
Mas maganda ang sagot ni Ariane, kaya s’ya ang 1st princess. Hihi!
Si Lemonon, nagcho-choke! Yun, 4th princess lang ang lola. Ang Marah Munoz was a show stopper din ha, kabog ang JDV entry!
Their destinies winning a title in their respective international competitions are not determined by the special awards they get during their national competitions. Hakot queens sila kase they are stand out in their respective national pageants.
Considered ba na highest placement ito ng team JDV at our top-tier national pageant?… 2nd Rup before si Ali Forbes but that’s like 4th place from the winner which is BBP-Universe. In fairness, level up! At sya yung girl na pinuri ko na ang ganda ng styling sa glam pic.
Bakit walla ang mga KF runners up of last year?
@c2f, the Puno Queen Czarina Gatbonton was the highest placer of JDV Camp.
The last titleholder of the MW franchise under BBP.
Ang puno ay nagbibigay buhay. Baw!
@c2f, we’re not bestfriends, sya ang nagluwal sa akin.
Hakot Queen pa si Cat, taking away the Best in Swimsuit and Best in Evening Gown, plus other special awards. Galing!
Catriona Gray’s “torch” statement is perfect! Congratulations, Catriona, our new Miss World Philippines 2016!!!
In fairness…Mas Bongga ang Mr. Gay World Philippines kesa sa Mr. Universal Ambassador held in Indonesia.
Whoever wins, Good LucK sa international Competition.
Kahit ako maiiyak pag hindi ko ineexpect na makakapasok ako since may negative publicity ako prior. I’m happy that the Org did not judge him based on his past mistake.
Aces & Queens styled Catriona Gray a la Audrey Hepburn or Grace Kelley. She is uber glamorous!
Why didn’t they just appoint John and Catriona? They do it with Mr World why can’t they do it with the other ‘World’ titles… they could have saved more money which they could have spent in turn for the preparation of our country’s bet.
The pageant is also their means to gain sponsors for the preparation of our bets. Sponsors preffer pageants than appointed ones because there would be more exposure for their business therefore there would be an earlier and more visible return of investment.
The main reason why the LGBT community isn’t taken seriously is because of the level of animosity particularly among gay men. The namecalling. The homophobic slurs made by homosexuals themselves on fellow homosexuals. Gay men making it their habit to put down other gay men.
We are seriously divided. It’s sad.
Tito Norms, baka late na ako sa balita, pero, di ba dapat dadalo sina Mr. and Ms. World sa coronation ng MWP? Di na ba tuloy ito?
@ Fabian Reyes : Namecalling comes with being gay in the Philippines. The bakla eventually learn to take the heat. And at this point, these gallant guys are used to it; it has become the least of their problems. Buti nga ganyan lang! Worse to be manhandled or subject to blatant “othering” like denial to attend church services or receive sacraments or participate in parish activities, as happens in other countries. And some gay guys actually enjoy it as a joke! My ten cents. Happy Sunday.
So it is ok to justify one’s wrongdoing by another’s wrongdoing?
I agree with Fabian on this one.
@Closer2Fame and @Fabian Reyes : Fair enough. We simply have different pain thresholds.
I don’t mean to antagonize you. I do respect your opinion. I’m just loooking at the bigger picture. We may be able to tolerate these words but labels are powerful enough for it to allow ourselves to be put in a box made by society’s impression about us. It leads us to be segregated by society and then discriminated if one is brave enough to get out of that box. Allowing ourselves to be labeled creates conflict for those who don’t fit those labels and it also prevents some of us from doing anything else beyond it.
If you can not respect your own kind, who will respect you?
Good luck Girls may the best G&G wins tonight.
Johnina Raspado for the Win!
@basil, his name is john. show some respect if you want to be respected. what makes you think he wants to be called johnina?
Dapat mag live stream din ang rappler. May mag fb live sa MWP.
Catriona and Janjep for the win!!!!!
Catriona Gray and Catriona Gay.

The 3 Fire Signs are in trine aspect to one another forming a triangle like the other triplicate element signs. Aries is a Cardinal Fire sign and the first in the zodiac circle. The other Fire signs are Leo who is fixed and Sagittarius who is mutable. All Fire inspired people are believed to be energetic, enthusiastic and a little impulsive in their actions and thoughts. These signs stand for energy, light and amplification and this is added to any area of a chart. In the majority of cases the Fire signs will occupy the 1st, 5th and 9th houses.
Many Astrologists believe that the First House in a birth chart is the most significant and revealing of all the houses. This is because this house, also known as the Ascendant, is the starting point for any horoscope analysis. It shows the likely character, temperament and constitution of an individual in a basic but precise manner. The First House is an angular house and it mainly outlines the Self by portraying the image we attempt to present to others. This powerful expressive House is ruled by both the sign of Aries and the planet Mars.
The Fixed Houses in Astrology are simple to remember as they are ruled by the Fixed signs of the zodiac, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius. They are the 2nd, 5th, 8th and 11th houses situated in a horoscope chart. Fixed Houses are sometimes also referred to as Succedent Houses in astrological study and like their name they are stable and established. They have a strong resistance to influence and change. The 5th house signifies romance and the 2nd and 8th houses concern possessions. The eleventh house focuses on a person's friends and also their desires.
The four Fixed Signs of the zodiac are the 2nd sign Taurus, the 5th sign Leo, the 8th sign Scorpio and the 11th Aquarius. Taurus represents Spring, Leo the Summer, Scorpio is focused in Autumn and Aquarius in Winter. Fixed Signs are known for their stable expressiveness that gives these personalities their determined but sometimes inflexible approach to life. These signs will generally be tenacious, persistent, loyal and proud. These sturdy traits are usually strongly established and quite resistant to change due to their fixed consistency.
This name comes from the Arabic Fum al Hut thought to mean 'the Fish's Mouth' and it identifies a very bright malefic fixed star. Formalhut can be found 25 light years from Earth on the constellation and 4th degree of Pisces. Along with Regulus, Antares and Aldebaran this is considered a Royal Star and a watcher of the South and has an affinity with Capricorn. It is used as a guide to cardinal direction. Fomalhaut was believed to be utilized by ancient people to mark equinoxes and solstices most especially the ones occurring in Winter time.
Fortuna was the name given to the Roman Goddess of Fortune and she was often depicted as carrying a cornucopia. She was regarded as being the bearer of an abundance of luck and delivering an aura of well-being. In Astrology terms Fortuna is a point that has an equal rising degree that the Moon has to the Sun. As its name suggests this is a fortunate position that can contribute to the continued welfare of an individual. For inspecting of a person's destined good fortune a Fortuna Chart can be constructed using this point as the Ascendent.
Fortunate Degrees were developed by William Lily and are considered the best degrees to have within a birth chart to increase likely luck. They are designated numerically as follows; Aries 19, Taurus 3, 15 and 27, Gemini 11, Cancer 1 to 4 and 15. Leo is 2,5,7 and 19, Virgo is 3, 14 and 20, Libra is 3, 15 and 21, Scorpio is 7, 18 and 20. Finally Sagittarius is allocated 13 and 20, Capricorn 12 to 14 and 20, Aquarius is 7, 16, 17 and 20 and Pisces finishes the most Fortunate Astrology Degree nominations with the best astrological degrees of 12 and 20.
