Now there’s a chat up line for you.
The new Trashcans e.p. ‘Town Foxes’ is a collaboration with long-time friends and touring partners in Japan, Sunny Day Service.
They joined forces recently for this 2 track Japanese only e.p. on Rose Records. The A-side is the Trashcans recorded demo verison of the song whilst the B-side is a Japanese version “Yume iro no machide”, sung by Keiichi Sokabe over the TCS backing track.
Limited to 500 copies it was made available at the recent Japanese shows on 1-4 March 2010.
There are no credits on the sleeve, but the photography looks like the work of Mr John Douglas. | 2019-04-25T15:53:51 | https://fivehungryjoes.com/2010/03/19/foxy-lady/ |
Sometimes there is no need to shop (or no shopping available), so what better to do with your almost 10 month old little dude?! Have a Tourist Day!
This bridge is the longest covered bridge in the world at 1282 feet (891 meters) and was designated a National Historic Site in 1980. It is situated in the heart of Hartland, a town I have visited twice before (once to play volleyball in middle school and the second time for business meetings) but have never taken the time to learn anything about the bridge and its significance.
Although not one of my favourite selfies in the world, we have one… so at least we could move on to the next stop with proof we were there in hand (aka in my phone). My little dude had some time to stretch, get a bum change, play with a water bottle (the cause of a meltdown later on… wait for it) and we were off to the next stop.
Side Note: I had never thought of using my trunk earlier in my little dude’s life (probably because it was winter) but ever since I have discovered that I can easily change him in the trunk of my SUV it has made our lives a lot easier! To those of you still looking for pubic bathrooms with change tables – give it a try! Your little one doesn’t care where they are changed so long as they have a clean bum for the rest of the day!
Oh yeah, if you’re wondering what its like to drive through the bridge… have a look!
Like I said, the real reason we were in Hartland was to visit the Covered Bridge Potato Chip Factory. Side Note #2: I LOVE the show Food Factory on the Food Network. Any of the How it’s made type shows get me every time and this visit felt like a chance to host the show via Instagram Stories. Side Note #3: It is getting increasingly more difficult to take pictures of my little dude since he wants to be on the move ALL THE TIME! As you can see, one of his new favourite things is sticking out his tongue.
The tour is self guided and cost $5. So two things: 1) I would have preferred a tour guide just because I find it fun to hear from someone that works at the place and get the “real” story, but 2) with a soon to be 10 month old baby a self guided tour was the way to go! We went at our own pace, learned about the parts that interested “us” the most and spent as much time as we wanted watching the potatoes being cooked and moving through the process.
Watching these videos again I now realize my voice sounds WAY less enthusiastic than what I really was at the time… I am 100% sure this is because there were other people watching as I filmed and narrated these clips… not only did they think I watched for a VERY long time, but they also had expressions which indicated they thought I was losing my mind for videoing/narrating this experience. So, don’t be fooled – I was having a blast but trying to be subtle, haha.
I am trying not to hype up this tour too much, because I realize this kind of thing is not for everyone. BUT, then we were told we were going to get a bag of kettle chips fresh off the factory line. My always hyper little dude somehow seemed to know that this would be his first taste of a chip! Since they were fresh off the line, and not salted, I figured he could give his new teeth a try and enjoy a bite with me.
The chips didn’t disappoint – They were delicious!
To top things off, at the end of the tour there was a line of spices to add to the chips we were given. Luckily I had quite a few left and was able to sample a few of the flavours. My favourite spice was the brown sugar cinnamon. It made me feel like I was eating a beaver tail… delicious!
We bought a few bags of chips and then we were off to our next stop.
Since this was a Tourist Day, I decided to take the “old road” and not the double lane highway to drive from Hartland to Woodstock. It was a great choice! The road was in great condition with very little traffic and had some spectacular views. Since my passenger fell asleep along the drive I stopped in the middle of the road to take this picture. I have to admit, being in places like these where it is possible to do things like stop in the middle the road to take a picture doesn’t happen to many people very often. So when you find yourself on a back road or not so busy main road as this happened to be – take advantage and enjoy being in a place where this is possible!
We arrived in Woodstock in time for lunch. I chose Walter’s Table Family Restaurant – all in all it was good. I think my expectations were a little high… when I saw “family restaurant” I was expecting something like what my grandmother would cook for me. Although it was very good, it was nothing like my grandmother’s cooking… but really, I’m not sure they serve that kind of food anywhere but her house!
We spent the next hour or so walking around main street and trying see all the historic buildings as suggested by the Town of Woodstock’s website as well as learning a bit about New Brunswick’s first town. I am still not 100% sure, but there were several law firms and buildings named after lawyers so I am assuming this has some significance… what I am not sure, but likely something.
The lesson for a crazy mama like me: He is a baby and quite possibly doesn’t think an 8 hour Tourist Day with little time for napping allowed is a great idea! I have to admit that although I realize he is a baby I often have to step back and remind myself that he doesn’t keep the same busy on-the-go pace I am used to… he likes to be on the go, but not for 8 hours.
Thankfully, he slept the whole drive back to Fredericton and we ended the Tourist Day on a peaceful note. I have to say, even though I am supposed to learn from the meltdowns and “get” that he is a baby, it was a great day and we will definitely be having another Tourist Day in the future!
Don’t forget, even as a tourist, take time to enjoy the little things! | 2019-04-22T05:02:50 | https://theresashoeforthat.com/2016/08/a-tourist-day-in-western-new-brunswick.html |
Dietary fat can be a quite complicated subject, both for you as a practitioner and for your clients. This guide provides you with all the information you really need to know about fats, our requirements for optimum health, food and supplement sources and how different types of fats compare.
With such an established bad reputation, we must first of all clear up the reasons for negative associations with fat: a common misunderstanding that, due to the high calorie content of fat per gram, it may contribute to weight gain. Of course we all now know that this is certainly not the case when it comes to weight management. Fat doesn’t make you fat. Although controversial, the Atkins diet may have helped us out on that one. It is now understood that our bodies are well equipped to regulate calorie intake from any macronutrient consumed. Low fat diets are certainly not the most successful for weight loss. (1) This may be partly because an increased consumption of refined carbohydrate may slightly increase appetite due to insulin and ghrelin levels.
Saturated fat and cholesterol are still often both considered to be ‘bad’ for us by some individuals; however, cholesterol is highly important for immune function, hormone production, cell membrane function, digestion, skin health and so much more. A certain amount of saturated fat can be beneficial for us.
In addition to changes in saturated fat consumption, our intake of other fatty acids has also changed considerably. Historically, the human diet was high in omega-3 fatty acids, with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids of around 1-2:1. During the last few decades, there has been a huge increase in consumption of omega-6 with a corresponding decrease in consumption of omega-3 fatty acids. Many modern food types are ‘new’ in regard to human evolution, rich in added omega-6 and stripped of omega-3.
Fat is of course essential for health in many ways including growth and development, providing the most dense source of energy. Fat very importantly protects organs and body tissues by providing cushioning, supports immune function and regulates inflammation. The functionality of cell membranes depends on fatty acids, and fats aid in the absorption and storage of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K.
The balance of fatty acids omega-3 EPA and omega-6 AA have an important role in the production of anti-inflammatory or pro-inflammatory signalling molecules in the body. (4) EPA is the specific omega-3 fatty acid responsible for reducing inflammation, reducing blood pressure and reducing platelet aggregation, therefore reducing risk of stroke and heart attack. (5) EPA is also particularly important in the proper functioning of the immune system through its production of eicosanoids.
Deficiency symptoms of fatty acids include visually apparent dry skin, dry hair, splitting nails and dry eyes. Omega-3 deficiency can also result in frequent illness, difficulty in concentrating, irritability, sleep difficulties, aching joints, infertility and much more. A diet low in fat also has a negative effect on health by reducing the amount of fat-soluble vitamins being absorbed; proper absorption is required for immune, skin and bone health.
The essential fats are those which are required from food as they cannot be made in the body; alpha linolenic acid (ALA) and linoleic acid (LA). Omega-3 ALA is found in linseeds, chia and echium and omega-6 LA is sourced from vegetable oils such as safflower, sunflower and corn oil. Hemp seeds and chia seeds have high amounts of essential fats in healthy ratios. Omega-3 EPA and DHA are not strictly considered essential fats as, with the correct enzyme process, they can be made in the body from the short-chain fatty acids ALA and LA, however if someone is lacking in foods containing these fats, EPA and DHA may be considered essential by some individuals.
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, are found in foods grown in tropical conditions and also from animal sources. Saturated fats include coconut oil, cocoa butter, palm oil, meat and butter. Plant-based saturated fats such as coconut oil have actually been shown to have a beneficial effect on heart health by increasing healthy HDL cholesterol. (10) In general, if someone is trying to lower their risk of cardiovascular disease and stay healthy, a moderate amount of both animal and plant based saturated fat in the diet is absolutely fine – a certain amount is actually good for you!
Polyunsaturated fats omega-3 EPA and DHA are found in high quantities in oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring. White fish such as cod and larger fish such as tuna are commonly eaten in the UK, whilst small oily fish such as herring and mackerel are eaten less frequently. Ideally, we should be consuming more of the small oily fish.
Plant-based polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids ALA and SDA can be sourced from linseeds and echium seed oil. Polyunsaturated omega-6 AA is found in meat, grains and eggs, healthy in moderation, but inflammatory in excess. Other omega-6 fats, which can be converted to AA in the body, are sourced from vegetable oils such as sunflower and corn oil. Nuts and seeds also provide a source of omega-6 LA and omega-3 ALA.
Monounsaturated fatty acids include omega-7 and omega-9 fatty acids, found in food sources such as avocados, olives and macadamia nuts.
The fats provided in eggs have caused a stir when it comes to considering cardiovascular health. Although eggs contain fairly high levels of cholesterol, the cholesterol consumed in a typical diet actually has a very small effect on our cholesterol levels, as the majority is made in the liver. Eggs have no significant effect on cardiovascular disease risk (13) and they are a rich source of both antioxidants and B vitamins which are beneficial for heart health. On the whole, it is definitely best to recommend eggs for a healthy heart.
The manufacturing processes of oil have changed drastically over the last few decades, from cold-pressed oils delivered to your door in small batches, to mechanically pressed with heat in large batches. These processes result in heat-exposed oils, commonly exposed to light and oxygen in clear bottles. A long time on the shelf combined with lower levels of antioxidants in refined oils can also increase rancidity.
Hydrogenated fats undergo a process in which oils are treated under pressure with hydrogen gas at a high temperature. Hydrogenation changes the chemical structure of a fat, making it more solid at room temperature, allowing polyunsaturated fats such as vegetable oil to have a solid ‘spreadable’ texture. Heat processed trans fats are found in foods such as biscuits, crisps and some margarines. Processed and refined vegetable oils found in margarine are likely to cause more damage to the heart compared to the natural saturated fats found in butter and may also increase inflammation.
Healthy polyunsaturated fats can easily become damaged when exposed to heat. Omega-3 EPA and DHA are the most heat unstable. Other omega-3 and 6 fats found in seeds and nuts are easily damaged in heat and should not, therefore, be heated to above 140 deg C. With such information it may be understood why baking fish in the oven is preferable to frying and oils like walnut and sesame seed should only be added cold to food, never heated.
Vegetable oils such as sunflower, high in omega-6, are also easily damaged when exposed to high temperatures, because of oxidation. Olive oil and other monounsaturated fats (high in omega-9) such as rapeseed oil can be safely exposed to slightly higher temperatures, such as frying on a medium heat, or frying with water added to the pan to keep the temperature down. Saturated fats, including coconut oil and butter, are the most stable fats for cooking.
Adding antioxidant and sulphur-rich foods such as onions and garlic when heating oils can additionally help to protect delicate fats from oxidising during cooking. Reusing fats for cooking is extremely unhealthy – reused oil in deep-fried foods should be avoided at all times.
The digestion process of fat occurs when bile is produced from the liver, emulsifying fat and breaking it down from fat globules to fat droplets. Lipase is an enzyme produced in the mouth, pancreas and small intestine which splits the fatty acids from the glycerol backbone. To optimise absorption of fatty acid supplements, this digestion process occurs when taking supplements with a meal containing fat. If there is difficultly digesting fat, e.g. heartburn, digestive enzyme supplements can be taken to support the breakdown of fat.
Conversion of different types of fatty acids also depends on the function of enzymes required and vitamins and minerals to fuel these processes. Poor enzyme function may result in reduced conversion of plant-based fats such as omega-3 ALA to omega-3 EPA. Zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 are required by these enzymes.
Diagnostic tests that measure levels of fatty acids in cell membranes are very useful if you are unsure how well an individual may be utilising fats from their diet, or if you believe that their diet is not particularly balanced. If your client has a good intake of fats in their diet and still presents with symptoms of fatty acid deficiency, carrying out a test such as Opti-O-3 may be wise.
Most importantly, fatty acid ratios can be determined by testing; dietary and supplement protocols can therefore be personalised depending on the results. The ‘omega-3 index’ is a useful tool to indicate the percentage of omega-3 in the body, and the AA:EPA ratio will help to indicate inflammatory levels. Other fatty acids including trans fats can also be identified in a fatty acid test to identify intake of unhealthy processed foods.
Supplements may be necessary for some people if they are not getting enough of the right types of fats in their diet, or if they have enzyme insufficiency, etc – EPA and DHA (fish oil), GLA (evening primrose oil), ALA (echium seed oil and linseed oil), SDA (echium seed oil) and oleic acid (echium seed oil and olive oil).
As getting high doses of EPA from fish can be difficult without exceeding toxin levels such as methyl mercury, a concentrated EPA supplement may be beneficial. EPA in excess of DHA is more effective in terms of reducing inflammation.
Choosing a suitable EPA supplement depends on the source of fish, purity, concentration and dose. Smaller fish are ideal for supplementing due to their naturally low levels of contaminants, short life span and therefore sustainability. Choosing a wild source of fish over farmed is also more favourable in terms of the ratios of fatty acids. Even with small fish, small levels of contamination such as methyl mercury, PCBs and dioxins may exist, so a supplement which has been purified (e.g. by molecular distillation) to certified free levels is the safest option when looking to minimise toxin levels. Once the quality of the fish oil has been determined, for therapeutic health beneficial effects a high concentration will provide a good dose. A standard fish oil, prior to concentration is 18% EPA and 12% DHA. A highly concentrated fish oil would be 70% concentration or above.
Pharmepa RESTORE provides pure EPA derived from wild sustainably source anchovies, certified free from heavy metals, at a concentration of 90%, supplying 1000mg of the active ingredient omega-3 EPA.
For vegetarians, or those unwilling to eat fish or take a fish oil supplement, there are other options. Plant-based omega-3 fatty acids can be converted to omega-3 EPA to some extent in the body. In order to optimise this conversion, a supplement containing echium seed oil, rich in omega-3 SDA is ideal. Echium seed oil alongside a supplement containing the enzyme cofactors zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6 (such as Neurobalance) will support fatty acid metabolism.
Other vegetarian sources of fatty acid supplements include linseed oil, algae and hempseed. Linseed oil is a source of ALA, a short-chain fatty acid requiring additional conversion, therefore very large doses would need to be taken to match the effects of echium seed oil. Algae is a source of omega-3 DHA, suitable during pregnancy, although not ideal on its own for the majority of individuals given its effects at down-regulating enzymes required for fatty acid metabolism. Hempseed oil also contains omega-6 fatty acids, therefore it is not as anti-inflammatory as echium seed oil.

MGM Resorts International (MGM), the largest casino and hotel operator on the Las Vegas Strip, is looking for a rebound in the famed gambling resort.
MGM’s Vegas properties include the Bellagio, MGM Grand, Mandalay Bay, and The Mirage. The Strip accounts for 74 percent of the company’s revenue, and both convention business and consumer travel to Las Vegas suffered during the recession. MGM would greatly benefit, of course, from a sustained U.S. recovery.
About 20 percent of the company’s cash flow now comes from Macau, a special administrative region of China, and the casino business there is going gangbusters, Morningstar reports. Betting in Macau surged 45 percent in the first 10 months of 2011.
In June, MGM gained a majority stake in a joint venture MGM China Holdings that owns the MGM Macau, a casino and resort. Earnings before interest, taxes, and depreciation (EBITDA) for MGM China soared 65 percent in the third quarter to $139 million, compared to a year earlier.
Standard & Poor’s analyst Esther Kwon sees MGM Resorts revenue rising 19 percent in 2012, the first full year that will include results from MGM China.
Revenue soared 38 percent in the third quarter to $2.2 billion from a year earlier, figures which don’t include MGM China. The company posted a net loss of $123.8 million in the quarter, narrowing from $318 million a year earlier.
Kwon has a hold rating on MGM shares. “We see Las Vegas trends improving on an increase in higher margin convention business, and we see improved liquidity at MGM,” she writes.
The improved liquidity stems from the company’s 2010 move to extend the maturity of much of its $4.7 billion in senior debt to February 2014 from October 2011. MGM issued 41 million common shares in October 2010.
“We expect asset sales to provide further balance sheet improvement,” Kwon writes. MGM has placed its 50 percent interest in the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa, in Atlantic City, N.J., in a divestiture trust and says it plans to exit the state.
MGM shares dropped 29.8 percent last year.
The company next reports earnings Feb. 13. | 2019-04-19T17:01:55 | https://www.newsmax.com/finance/companies/mgm-las-vegas-rebound/2012/02/08/id/428769/ |

SAO PAULO (CNS) — As hundreds of thousands of young Catholic pilgrims descend on Brazil, World Youth Day coordinators in Rio de Janeiro are putting the finishing touches on preparations for up to 2.5 million people.
By July 15, more than 320,000 people had registered for the event. Media coordinator Carol Castro said many pilgrims will register when they arrive, and many will participate in the events without being registered.
The countries with the greatest numbers of pilgrims registered are Brazil, Argentina and the United States, but young people are coming from as far away as the Philippines and Slovakia.
More than 8,400 priests from all over the globe requested credentials for the event. Approximately 5,500 journalists have been given credentials to cover Pope Francis’ first international trip.
Castro said 55 percent of registered pilgrims are women and 60 percent of those coming are ages 19-34. About 300,000 beds were made available in family homes, sports centers and schools in Rio.
Officials said more than 270 locations are available for catechetical session in 26 languages, including Polish, Latvian, Mandarin and Flemish.
They said 60,000 volunteers, of whom 7,000 are foreigners, will be on hand during the week to help and direct pilgrims to the events in Rio. Nearly 800 singers, dancers, actors and musicians will be participating in the main events.
Catholic officials will have 4 million hosts for consecration, and 100 confessionals will be at hand for pilgrims.
Pope Francis will greet pilgrims on a stage overlooking Copacabana beach July 25. For those unable to get to the main stage, organizers have set up two large and 16 smaller screens and 26 sound towers.
The July 27 vigil will be outside the city at a site equal to approximately 150 soccer fields. The venue has been dubbed Campus Fidei, Latin for Field of Faith. This is also the site for Pope Francis’ July 28 Mass with young people, who can watch on 33 large outdoor screens if they cannot see the altar.
To make things more comfortable for pilgrims spending the night, the area will have 4,673 portable bathrooms, 270 of which were adapted for people with disabilities.
More than 12 million liters of water will be at hand for pilgrims, distributed in 177 locations throughout the area.
The Brazilian armed forces has been put in charge of guaranteeing the security of pilgrims at Campus Fidei. The army will have 1,500 people stationed inside Campus Fidei while the national security force will have 1,300 people patrolling both inside and outside the vigil area.
For the entire event, security for pilgrims will count on more than 10,200 military units. The number of members of the armed forces to be used to guarantee security for pilgrims was increased from 8,500 after the recent socio-political protests in several cities in Brazil. Pope Francis will be guarded by 600 military personnel as well as 80 people from Brazil’s federal police and Vatican police who accompany Pope Francis on his visit. | 2019-04-23T20:18:32 | http://catholicphilly.com/2013/07/news/world-news/world-youth-day-by-the-numbers-pilgrims-toilets-and-security-patrols/ |

Do you remember your first experience of driving a car (or anything else you weren’t familiar with)?
It might have felt awkward because you perceived it as being a complicated undertaking. You had to be extra vigilant while following the modus operandi for safely maneuvering the vehicle. A wary instructor might have been sitting by your side, incessantly barraging you with information and safety tips.
Over time, you gained confidence in your abilities behind the wheel. After accumulating a sizable mileage, you felt at ease because you didn’t have to put in as much thought and effort as you did in the past. Your driving faculties can now get activated and run on auto-pilot mode once you hit the roads.
What happened between the time you were a novice at driving and the time you became a road ninja? The simple answer is that during that stretch of time, you honed your skills by practicing and familiarizing yourself with the procedures. During this process, your mind got accustomed to the mechanics of driving and you picked up on the many unspoken nuances. You gradually mastered the art of driving.
This is, in essence, the blueprint for mastery, which can be applied in any other domain of life. Unlike what most people believe, experts and geniuses aren’t born, they are made. We might be naturally predisposed to being better at certain things than others because of genetic advantage, but it is not sufficient for achieving mastery. Raw talent and intelligence still needs to be cultivated and nurtured.
In fact, research has shown that once a person crosses an IQ of 120, there is minimal relationship between more intelligence and better performance. While people with high IQs are good at logical, computational and linear tasks, they may not necessarily have real world intelligence that’s needed to excel in whatever it is they are naturally gifted at doing.
An individual’s ability to go the distance is indicated by the presence of certain mental dispositions and traits in their character constellation, such as courage, discipline, imagination and sensitivity. We need a combination of mental force and moral character, which are exclusively a product of experience and effort that is forged into the deep recesses of our mind.
For us to gain proficiency, our mind needs to be trained and conditioned by consistent repetition and deep work. By repeatedly attempting the same task, we strengthen any existing neural connections within our brains. The data gets stored in our subconscious mind and can be swiftly retrieved when the relevant occasion arises. This practice improves our ability to intuit solutions and recognize patterns.
In his book, The Outliers, Michael Gladwell states that it takes 10,000 hours of dedicated practice to truly master a skill, be it playing an instrument, learning a sport or running a business. If we look at anyone who has mastered their craft, we will see that it was their dogged dedication to their craft that influenced their total immersion in their pursuit during those 10,000 hours.
Gladwell also goes on to say that the biggest factors for success are not luck or innate talent, but our commitment to our craft. He supported this claim with some examples of famous creative geniuses of our times, such as Bill Gates and The Beatles. These illustrious exemplars give us the empowering impression that we can all achieve greatness and mastery if we are willing to put in the time and effort.
Yet most people lack the emotional bandwidth to apply themselves to the rigors of mastery. They get tempted by the allure of instant gratification or intimidated by the arduous climb towards unguaranteed success. It is the presence of faith and the capacity to control one’s impulses that ultimately sets the masters apart from amateurs.
Individuals who excel in a particular field are rare commodities, which is why society admires and rewards them. Their exceptional skills and superior knowledge are highly sought after for both their monetary and intrinsic value. All the effort we put in to reach the top will ultimately pay off in a big way.
Immerse yourself in something you’re passionate about: The simplest way to attain the natural drive to achieve enduring success is to select a vocation that you are passionate and curious about. Your internal motivation and enthusiasm will fuel your willingness to rise up to any challenges that you might encounter along the way and also stay fully committed to the process.
Gain deep and comprehensive knowledge: If you want to be amongst the top of the line in your field, it is imperative to have a thorough and comprehensive knowledge that will set you apart from others. Learning and understanding any skill or subject requires dedicated focus and deep engagement for many hours, during which we saturate our mind with relevant books, advice and other research material.
Practice, practice, practice: Having text book knowledge is a great start but it’s only through the application of that knowledge that we can reap tangible results. According to Michael Gladwell’s 10,000 hour theory, we will need to put in a sizable number of hours of practice before we can truly gain expertise. We all need that span of time to experiment and engage in trial-and-error so that we can learn from our mistakes and improve our learning curve.
Create structure in your environment: The deep work and engagement needed to achieve mastery necessitates an environment that is structured and stable. This includes allotting a designated work space and time slots that are free of distractions and obligations. Geniuses such as Bill Gates were known to lock themselves for hours in isolation to crack complicated programming codes. We also need to build structure within our personal life to maintain emotional and physical balance. It’s a challenge to apply ourselves to any demanding feat if we are tired, stressed out or facing emotional ups and downs.
Be patient and focused: The road to success is a potential minefield, filled with unforeseen obstacles and tricky terrain that could throw us off guard. For this reason, we need to fortify our inner reserves to catch any unanticipated curve balls along the way. Achieving breakthroughs in any novel endeavor requires courage and a willingness to step out on faith. We have to get comfortable with taking risks and the possibility of encountering failure. The path to mastery ultimately requires inner strength, patience and focus while we keep our eyes on the prize.
According to author, Deepak Chopra, “All creation is pure consciousness and potentiality seeking expression from the unmanifest to the manifest.” When we take the initiative to nurture our skills and talents, we are essentially acknowledging the pure potentiality that lies within our True Self and aligning it with the Universal Power that manifests everything else in nature. We allow this cosmic magic to work through us and for us.
Questions for you: Is there a subject or topic that you would like to master? If so, how will you go about achieving it? Do you have any of your own ideas on how to become a master at something?
Hey Seline…I totally agree with the steps you have outlined here….
Many people consider me to be a master of the plant world. it is a love and a skill I seemed to have naturally and with education and year of hands on training it has become something I am not only passionate about but quite good at.
I even made a living for a number of years using this knowledge and skill. So I’m living proof that it CAN be done and you can be successful in the real world! | 2019-04-26T07:48:12 | http://thedreamcatch.com/how-to-become-a-master-at-anything/ |

Yet more members of law enforcement have made the acquaintance of Lindsay Lohan.
Lohan was arrested Wednesday morning in New York City after allegedly clipping a pedestrian with her Porsche and leaving the scene, TMZ reports.
The alleged victim, described as a man in his 30s, was hospitalized, but didn't have any visible injuries at the scene.
Lohan was pulling in to the Dream Hotel in downtown Manhattan when she allegedly hit the passerby. Lohan's friend got out to check for damages, and then Lohan and her entourage went into the hotel. Someone called police, and when Lohan left the hotel around 2 a.m., she was arrested, according to TMZ.
Lohan was charged with leaving the scene of an accident and released. The charge is a misdemeanor, and it could trigger a violation of her probation on theft charges, as her probation hinges on her obeying all laws. | 2019-04-18T22:35:40 | https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/lindsay-lohan-arrested-for-leaving-the-scene-of-an-accident-after-allegedly-clipping-pedestrian |
On behalf of the newly formed disability caucus, and together with UNPFII member, Mr. Paul Kanyinke Sena, Ms. Ipul Powesau co-presented a study on the situation of indigenous persons with disabilities. The 'Study on the situation of indigenous persons with disabilities, with a particular focus on challenges faced with respect to the full enjoyment of human rights and inclusion in development' (E/C.19/2013/6), explores how the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) and the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) provide a framework for the protection of rights of indigenous persons with disabilities. Requested by the UNPFII at its 11th session in 2012, following the first-ever delegation of indigenous persons with disabilities at the Forum, the study was drafted by UNPFII members, Ms. Myrna Cunningham and Mr. Paul Kanyinke Sena, in consultation with indigenous persons with disabilities and their representative organizations. The study includes recommendations to UN agencies and other relevant stakeholders on ways to increase the inclusion and participation of indigenous persons with disabilities and support the establishment and capacity of organizations of indigenous persons with disabilities. During the presentation of the report, Ms. Powaseu called on United Nations agencies dealing with indigenous peoples’ issues to take action on the inclusion of indigenous persons with disabilities in all their activities. She requested them to make their websites accessible to persons with disabilities and promote increased participation of indigenous persons with disabilities in their annual sessions.
Immediately following the presentation of the report, a side event on the rights of indigenous persons with disabilities was held. Indigenous representatives with disabilities provided more information on the report and highlighted some immediate actions that should be taken to improve their situation. Panelist Ms. Gayle Rankine described the situation of Aboriginal women with disabilities in Australia, who lack of access to shelters for violence, and culturally appropriate services. Panelist and youth representative Ms. Andrea Harrison of Canada related her experiences in a segregated educational system, which, for years, denied her full time education. She called for governments to make sure that persons with intellectual disabilities have access to inclusive education, all of the same opportunities as their peers, food and housing. Panelist Mr. Kamala Sen Chakma, from Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh, stressed the need for inclusive development, poverty reduction, and assistive devices. He called for meaningful inclusion of indigenous persons with disabilities in the post-2015 development agenda and the 2014 World Conference on indigenous peoples. Panelist Ms. Rita Petrussen, a deaf woman from Greenland, told participants how she had only had had access to one year of sign language education when she was fifteen. She called for the re-establishment of education for deaf persons in Greenland, inclusive ICT and employment for deaf persons. “The report represents a big step forward in terms of attention to the rights of indigenous persons with disabilities in the Forum,” stated Ms. Catalina Devandas, representing the Disability Rights Advocacy Fund. “We hope that this attention will continue to increase and address the barriers preventing indigenous persons with disabilities from enjoying their equal rights.” The event was organized by the International Disability Alliance (IDA), the Disability Rights Advocacy Fund (DRAF), the UN Division for Social Policy and Development and the Australian mission to the UN. The initiative of DRAF and IDA to advance the rights of indigenous persons with disabilities is supported with funding from Australian Aid. | 2019-04-25T14:49:47 | http://www.internationaldisabilityalliance.org/resources/press-release-indigenous-persons-disabilities-present-study-unpfii |

The well known Murrayfield Stadium was the setting for Team Challenge Company to provide a day of entertainment in the form of our Country Pursuits event for a group of delegates from Royal London. The group was split into 10 teams and introduced to the Team Challenge Company Winner's Trophy, which one lucky team would be taking home!
The teams moved into their rotations which saw them taking part in head to head challenges at various stations including Axe Throw, Archery, Chip Shot Golf, Human Table Football as well as some Mini Highland Games activities. The cheers could be heard all round the stadium - especially from our Mini Highland Games station, where there was plenty of Highland roars for those much sought after bonus points at Caber Toss! Not to mention all the shouting (mainly at the opposing teams) over at the Hey You Jimmy assault course, where there was plenty of "bending the rules" going on! Our two biggest winners of the day at the Mini Highland Games, managing to get the best score on all three challenges, were Team 2 and Team 6... It must've been those lucky Jimmy Wigs!
Chip Shot Golf saw some rogue balls as we had some enthusiastic putts and some eager to learn newbie’s. Teams 1 and 4 could have done with some more practice, only managing to take away 800 points each, whereas Team 8 and Team 1 took away 1000 points each! Human Table Football seemed to go down a storm with the teams as they got themselves strapped in and ready to play! We're sure we saw a few own goals in there... and maybe a few sneaky tackles, but the teams enjoyed playing the life size version of the table top game. Teams 3 and 4 managed to come out victorious against their opponents and put themselves in a good overall position for winning that Trophy.
Archery saw a few more Maid Marians than Robin Hoods in the teams as many struggled to hit anything other than the back net! There is always a winner though, which was good news for Teams 8 and 2, but bad luck for Teams 10 and 1! Axe Throwing was a popular challenge... possibly just for the chance to hold an axe... either way, some people definitely excelled and used their skills, whereas others attempted to line it up and just hoped for the best with their throw! However, everyone did extremely well at a new and skilled activity.
Once all the rotations were complete, it was time for all the teams to get together for the ever popular Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting finale. This was a challenge that almost everyone seemed to be good at (after we established that pulling on the trigger guard wasn't going to actually shoot the gun) and the teams were racking up the points in no time! The winners of the final challenge were Team 3 and Team 9, adding another 1000 points to their overall score!

On 17 May 2016, the sixth Scaling Up Nutrition: In Practice brief “Empowering women and Girls to Improve Nutrition: Building a Sisterhood of Success” was launched at the 2016 Women Deliver Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark.
As evidence has long suggested, gender inequality can be a cause as well as an effect of hunger and malnutrition. Not surprisingly, higher levels of gender discrimination are associated with higher levels of both acute and chronic undernutrition.
Gender and nutrition are not stand-alone issues with some experts considering women to be the nexus of the agriculture, health and nutrition sectors. Studies have shown that when women’s incomes rise they tend to invest more in the nutrition, education, and health of their family, causing a ripple effect that can benefit entire communities— Higher female earnings and bargaining power translate into greater investment in children’s education, health and nutrition, which leads to economic growth in the long term.
Authors from five SUN Countries, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Tajikistan, Malawi and Zimbabwe, have contributed accounts of their experiences of gender responsive nutrition actions. These articles present activities and approaches so that other SUN members can be inspired to address immediate nutrition needs while progressing women’s social and economic empowerment.
The Scaling Up Nutrition: In Practice briefs present the experiences of SUN country governments, and other national stakeholders, as they scale up their efforts to ensure all people enjoy good nutrition. Each brief in the series focuses on a theme selected by SUN country government focal points for sharing their experience during a series of teleconference calls with focal points and country teams that take place every two months. | 2019-04-26T00:13:36 | https://scalingupnutrition.org/news/scaling-up-nutrition-in-practice-issue-6-empowering-women-and-girls-to-improve-nutrition/ |

Jessica Jung – IU and that floral mini dress! Who do you think wore it better?
Back in March 7th, Jessica Jung updated her IG jessica.syg with a photo saying Au revoir, Paris after wrapping up her Paris fashion month gigs. In typical Jessica style, she looked very elegant, well-poised and every little detail in her photo screamed high-end elegance.
Meanwhile, “My Mister” actress IU wore the same dress last March 27th during her Netflix original series “Persona” press conference. IU opted to cinch her waist some more by adding a white belt to the already small waisted dress. She looked very pure, prim and proper in the same floral dress.
The floral-print mini dress with ruffle details is from Alexandra Rich ($1,490). | 2019-04-25T17:51:28 | https://dramachronicles.com/2019/04/13/jessica-jung-vs-iu/ |
Sadly, the lesson ends this journey with the destruction of nearly the entirety of Galician Jewry and most of East European Jewry overall. As with a couple of the earlier classes, this lecture will provide a general framework while the readings will bring the Galician story to the fore. This class follows a chronological narrative, beginning with Nazi policy between 1939-41, particularly the ghettos, and then examining their move towards the “Final Solution” and the evolution of means to accomplish it, particularly the Einsatzgruppen and the death camps. Then it’ll look at the experience of Soviet Jews in particular (Galicia was occupied by the Soviet Union after 1939) and the issue of local non-Jewish reactions and of Jewish resistance. Clearly one lecture cannot be comprehensive, but it at least provides in an introduction into the basic narrative of the Holocaust and some of the key issues with which historians grapple. | 2019-04-23T02:42:58 | http://galiciabukovinaproject.com/content/jews-galicia-history-lesson-ten |

Most people like to be at home at Christmas. If they cannot, they make sure they communicate with their loved ones, traditionally by posting a card and by telephoning.
Christmas 2018 marks the fiftieth anniversary of an event that took three people further away from home than anyone had ever been before: the crew of Apollo 8, which took a trip to the moon, from 21st-27th December 1968, orbiting it ten times. During one of those orbits, they became the first human beings to witness an “Earthrise” – a view of the earth rising up over the horizon of the moon, which they gratefully photographed, commenting, “There’s the Earth coming up. Wow, is that pretty”! Later that day, Christmas Eve, they broadcast a message back “home” – to earth. They announced (to the biggest T.V. audience there had ever been): “We have a message for you”, and proceeded to read the first ten verses of the Bible, from Genesis chapter 1, starting with the words, “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth” and finishing, “God saw that it was good.” These men were the first persons ever to get a view of the earth as a whole planet. Their response, in reading these words from the Scriptures, shows that they recognised that the beautiful world that they saw was the good work of the Creator, God. Yet, God’s Word, the Bible, tells us that, sadly, sin has entered this “good” world, and “all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). This is a very serious matter, for we all stand guilty before this holy God, and are subject to His judgment, and the punishment that we deserve: “The wages of sin is death” (Romans 6:23). John, viewing the final judgment, recorded that “whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire” (Revelation 20:15). However, God has a message for all of us; an even greater message than the one from Apollo 8: His Son, Jesus Christ, came to earth, lived a sinless life, then went to the cross, where He shed His blood, suffered, and died for us, to rescue us from sin’s penalty. “The Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all” (Isaiah 53:6); “Christ died for our sins … He was buried … He rose again … He was seen” (1Corinthians 15:3,4 & 5). 1968 had been a turbulent and uncertain year, and the successful Apollo 8 mission cheered people up greatly. The “splashdown” in the North Pacific Ocean was publicised worldwide, and the crew was given a heroes’ welcome. One congratulatory telegram read, “Thank you Apollo 8. You saved 1968.” In contrast, when God’s Son arrived on earth, in Bethlehem, very few people knew about it, even though He came, not to “save” a year, but to save the people of the world from their sins. “For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved” (John 3:17). The Apollo 8 crew closed their “Christmas message” with: “God bless all of you – all of you on the good Earth.” God does desire to bless everyone, with the great blessing of forgiveness and salvation. His message comes to you today, not from the moon, but from heaven, calling you to turn away from your sins and trust in the Saviour: “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out” (Acts 3:19). “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). | 2019-04-19T15:46:31 | https://ritchiechristianmedia.co.uk/product/seasons-greetings-moon |

Global X kicked off the week with two new income-focused ETFs, the SuperDividend Emerging Markets ETF (SDEM B) and the SuperDividend REIT ETF (SRET ).
As we have stated numerous times over the last few years, investing for income has been one of the biggest themes on Wall Street given that rates have been held at historical lows for so long. These two funds will look to follow that trend by offering attractive dividends for shareholders.
SDEM seeks to offer emerging market exposure while providing a steady dividend, two factors that often do not go hand-in-hand. The fund invests in over 10 countries including Brazil, China, Malaysia, and Mexico among others.
The financials sector currently makes up the largest chunk of the portfolio, accounting for 23% of total exposure, although SDEM does a nice job of spreading its assets around several segments of the market. Best of all, the fund offers monthly payouts for its shareholders.
SDEM charges 65 basis points for investment.
For dividend investors, REITs have been among the most attractive outlets as they often offer enticing yields. SRET offers a global perspective on the REIT universe, with holdings domiciled in countries like the U.S., Australia, and Canada. Mortgage REITs currently account for more of the portfolio than any other type (46.9%), but like SDEM, this ETF spreads its exposure around to various segments within its respective market. SRET will also offer a monthly dividend payment.
SRET charges 58 basis points for investment.
Both funds had an encouraging first day of trading, each exchanging hands tens of thousands of times. If these two catch on like Global X’s other SuperDividend products, look for their assets under management figure to grow in the coming months. | 2019-04-18T11:18:20 | https://etfdb.com/news/2015/03/19/global-x-launches-two-superdividend-etfs-sdem-sret/ |
you just want to papercut your eyeballs.
Today would be that day for me.
BUT…only 2 more hours and I can justify going to bed and giving it another try tomorrow. Or Jesus will come back which would be even better.
I have realized that I do not know why I go to class. It’s a silly waste most of the time. I don’t know that I want to do anything when I grow up. I mean I do, but not the stuff I go to class for. I am wasting good time pretending to learn here in this silly place.
And why do places get interns? I’m not sure but I do know that they do not get interns to give projects to or to try new things. Stick with the old, even if it’s stupid. And so I just grin and color my poster while gritting my teeth thinking “man papercutting my eyeball with this posterboard would be way worse than paper” It’s not even that I think they are completely wrong. I just think it’s silly. Pure silliness. And stupid.
And it’s cold. Which daily reminds me that I am incomplete and broken on my own. Which is a good lesson to learn. But I want a warm day.
In other factoids of life my keys will not get locked in my car if still in the ignition (at least i turned my car off stephanie). However I was trying to lock my door and it kept unlocking and it was ticking me off after 5 times. I kept hitting lock but it wouldn’t do it. So i went to use my remote lock….to realize my remote was on my keys still in the ignition….o dear.
The training ground of life sometimes has little to do with the obvious.
You girls are cracking me up with the key stories.
vince gill’s voice is amazing.
you know what would be really bad? cutting your eyeballs with a rusty exacto blade.

In the future, we will be browsing the web through VR devices and you need a VR ready website for that. The good news is that WordPress is already supporting VR images and videos on its platform. WordPress developers can easily integrate VR videos and images with the help of plugins.
With a number of mobile internet users surpassing desktop internet users, mobile will be the new king of devices, which will slowly but surely overcome all other contenders for its throne including desktops, laptops, and even tablets. Consumer usage preference has changed significantly in past couple of decades. Whether it is web browsing, online shopping, and communicating on social media, we all use our smartphone as our daily driver to accomplish all these tasks.
Having a responsive website and mobile-first strategy is not an option anymore. In fact, it should be on top of your priorities. With Google pushing mobile-friendly websites up its search engine rankings, WordPress developers have already started using Bootstrap to create mobile ready and responsive themes for their WordPress websites.
Magneto and Open Cart have been dominating the ecommerce market for quite some time now. This is about to change as WordPress has taken this issue seriously and has launched a dedicated platform called Woo Commerce.
WooCommerce takes the hassle out of ecommerce website development and makes it easy to establish your ecommerce store in no time. The popularity of WooCommerce is steadily growing and more and more ecommerce developers are using it to create websites. Come 2018, we will see WooCommerce rise to the top of the tree and become the preferred choice as the platform for ecommerce website development.
Whether it is WordPress themes or plugins, all poses a security risk. In wake of such circumstances, how can you keep your WordPress website safe? The answer lies in encryption. It is time to ditch HTTP and switch to HTTPS and SSL, which is encrypted and more secure. Just like best task management tools, which let you control access, your WordPress website should implement two-factor authentication to manage access and set directory permissions carefully to stay safe.
As the web development industry goes through the evolution process in 2018, we will see its reflection on web publishing and content management platforms such as WordPress. Whether it is VR-ready themes, video headers or mobile-friendly websites, they will certainly transform the WordPress industry. Are you ready for the latest trends in WordPress?

Berberis is a genus of over 450 species of evergreen, semi-evergreen and deciduous shrubs from all over the world, preferring rocky soils in mountainous areas. Barberrys are commonly recognised for their sharp spiny stems.
Though Berberis are not recognised as a classic bonsai subject, there are many species that have small leaves that back bud easily, numerous small, showy flowers in a variety of colours and on mature trees can display beautiful bark markings.
Dense, rounded, deciduous shrub with ovate leaves to 3cm long, fresh green above and bluish-green underneath. Racemes of 2-5 yellow flowers are produced in Spring followed by glossy-red fruit to 8mm long in Autumn. Reaches heights of 1metre in its native Japan.
There are a number of varieties of B.thunbergii of which the red-leaved varieties are preferred, Berberis thunbergii Atropurpurea has dark purple-red foliage and vertically-striped bark. Variegated red-leaved varietes are generally far weaker and more susceptible to mildews than the plain red varieties.
Vigorous, evergreen Barberry reaching heights of upto 3metres in its native Chile and Argentina. Dark green leaves upto 3cm long are kept on the tree year round, while dark-orange flowers appear in Spring followed by glaucous-blue/black fruit appear in Autumn.
Evergreen/ semi-evergreen Barberry that loses leaves only when exposed to low temperatures in Winter. Has leathery, dark-green leaves up to 2 cm long, dark orange-yellow flowers in Spring and dark purple fruit in Autumn.
Position Full sun or partial shade, protect from frosts below -5°C to avoid twig die-back.
Repotting Every two years before bud break in Spring, use standard soil mix.
Pruning Trim back after flowering unless fruits are required. For trees that require stronger growth, remove dead flowers to avoid wasting energy on fruit production. When pruned, Barberrys display unusual yellow inner stem, root and trunk colour.
Propagation Sow seed outside in early-Spring, root softwood cuttings of deciduous species in Summer, take semi-ripe cuttings of deciduous and evergreen species in Summer. Air-layer or ground layer in Autumn or Spring.
Pests and Diseases Powdery mildew can occasionally be a problem, aphids.
Styles Informal forms in single or multiple trunk groups. In small to medium sizes. Try to avoid stiff, angular trunk forms. | 2019-04-22T20:05:46 | http://www.bonsai4me.com/SpeciesGuide/Berberis.html |
Earth requires fuel to drive plate tectonics, volcanoes and its magnetic field. Like a hybrid car, Earth taps two sources of energy to run its engine: primordial energy from assembling the planet and nuclear energy from the heat produced during natural radioactive decay. Scientists have developed numerous models to predict how much fuel remains inside Earth to drive its engines -- and estimates vary widely -- but the true amount remains unknown. In a new paper, a team of geologists and neutrino physicists boldly claims it will be able to determine by 2025 how much nuclear fuel and radioactive power remain in the Earth's tank. The study, authored by scientists from the University of Maryland, Charles University in Prague and the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences, was published on September 9, 2016, in the journal Nature Scientific Reports.
"I am one of those scientists who has created a compositional model of the Earth and predicted the amount of fuel inside Earth today," said one of the study's authors William McDonough, a professor of geology at the University of Maryland. "We're in a field of guesses. At this point in my career, I don't care if I'm right or wrong, I just want to know the answer."
Detecting antineutrinos requires a huge detector the size of a small office building, housed about a mile underground to shield it from cosmic rays that could yield false positive results. Inside the detector, scientists detect antineutrinos when they crash into a hydrogen atom. The collision produces two characteristic light flashes that unequivocally announce the event. The number of events scientists detect relates directly to the number of atoms of uranium and thorium inside the Earth. And the decay of these elements, along with potassium, fuels the vast majority of the heat in the Earth's interior.
To date, detecting antineutrinos has been painfully slow, with scientists recording only about 16 events per year from the underground detectors KamLAND in Japan and Borexino in Italy. However, researchers predict that three new detectors expected to come online by 2022--the SNO+ detector in Canada and the Jinping and JUNO detectors in China--will add 520 more events per year to the data stream.
"Once we collect three years of antineutrino data from all five detectors, we are confident that we will have developed an accurate fuel gauge for the Earth and be able to calculate the amount of remaining fuel inside Earth," said McDonough.
"Knowing exactly how much radioactive power there is in the Earth will tell us about Earth's consumption rate in the past and its future fuel budget," said McDonough. "By showing how fast the planet has cooled down since its birth, we can estimate how long this fuel will last." | 2019-04-23T00:53:50 | http://esciencenews.com/articles/2016/09/11/scientists.expect.calculate.amount.fuel.inside.earth.2025 |

I was a bit restless tonight with all the rain & thunder and really wanted to draw something spring-y to put up here to wish you a Happy Easter! ^_^ We've got a lot planned, all the normal things; church, baskets, candy, love & of course mom's famous bunny cake! ;) My brothers birthday is the day before Easter, so we'll probably be having a birthday party in there somewhere as well!
To be very honest with you.. um, blog... I haven't done one ounce of Easter shopping! It has successfully snuck up on me this year and I'm in a scramble as I write this b/c I've just realized that I've got quite a lot to do in a very short amount of time!
You have to understand... Easter for us, is much like Christmas... we go all out.. the whole big Lunch/Dinner and family... games for the kids, Capture the flag for the grown ups & bigger kids once it gets dark and so on..
It's pretty much everyone's favorite holiday in my family... so, ya know, we *really* celebrate :P I thought that's how everyone did Easter until I met my husband.... his family kinda skims over it fairly unceremoniously comparatively.
Of course, I am not implying that it's wrong in any way not to do the whole big thing, this is just how we've always done it.. . I wonder.... is Easter a BIG holiday for your family, or not so much?
Well, either way, I hope your day is filled with joy, peace, family & fun! | 2019-04-21T14:47:31 | https://mariah.typepad.com/bidnod/2009/04/happy-easter.html?cid=6a00e5522a297c883401156f17ac82970c |

Upon arrival, our team will take a look at your scrap metal pile and let you know right then how much it will be to haul it away. All you have to do is say OK and watch your scrap disappear.
Scrap metal can be difficult and dangerous to transport. There's the risk of cutting yourself while trying to sort or move piles, and many trash companies don't accept it. Recycling is a great idea, but what if you don't have a truck for transporting or you live too far from a facility? That's where we come in. At 1-800-GOT-JUNK?, we're in the business of picking up, removing and recycling your stuff so you don't have to, and when it comes to scrap metal, we have a friendly, competent team and all the experience needed to get the job done right.
If you aren't sure what kind of metal you have or whether it's something we can take care of for you, call us at 1-800-GOT-JUNK? to talk to a customer service representative who can give you more information and let you know your pick up options.
Metal is one of the most common manufacturing materials, but it's also one of the most difficult to dispose of responsibly. Because metal doesn't break down over time, putting it in a landfill or dump just takes up room and contributes to pollution. It's also not something that can be burned like scrap wood or paper because the heat can make it release chemicals that can be hazardous to the environment.
Recycling scrap metal is the most environmentally friendly option, and at 1-800-GOT-JUNK? we do exactly that. Taking care of our planet and reducing our carbon footprint and the amount of waste in our landfill is important to us. When we pick up both ferrous and non-ferrous metals and take them to a facility where they can be appropriately sorted and reused for other purposes. The estimated energy savings reaped by scrap metal recycling can be as high as 95 percent for metals like aluminum, but even recycling steel and iron can result in a 60 percent energy savings, which is still very significant.
If you're in the Fairfield area and you have scrap metal you need gone, call us at 1-800-GOT-JUNK?. Let us do the heavy lifting. | 2019-04-21T06:27:35 | https://www.1800gotjunk.com/us_en/locations/Connecticut/junk-removal-fairfield/scrap-metal-recycling |

Naspers is to move ahead with its spin-off of pay TV group MultiChoice on February 27, giving Naspers shareholders a direct stake in the pay TV outfit and listing the company on the Johannesburg stock exchange.
In its statement ahead of the listing on the Johannesburg stock exchange, Naspers said that it no longer made strategic sense to wed its high-growth global internet business with its slower-growth but cash-generative African video entertainment business, with no synergies between the pair. Post-split, Naspers will continue to shift its focus to the global internet business.
Naspers’ 31.2% stake in Chinese internet giant Tencent has been seen as key to the decision to spin off MultiChoice as Naspers shares trade at a significant discount to Tencent, the group’s most important asset. Other investments include a 28.4% stake in Russian internet outfit Mail.ru, a 43.1% stake in Indian travel website MakeMyTrip and a 22.8% stake in online food delivering company Delivery Hero.
MultiChoice had 13.9 million customers across 50 countries as of September 30. The company offered digital satellite TV and SVOD to some 7.2 million subscribers in South Africa, while its digital satellite, online and digital-terrestrial services had a base of 6.7 million across the rest of Africa.
The South African business is cash-generative and MultiChoice aims to expand its base here by focusing on acquiring quality local and international content, including sports. The group is undertaking a review its pricing strategy for its loss-making rest-of-Africa activities as it seeks to expand its base in the region and return to profitability.
Naspers said that MultiChoice subscriber base grew by 13% year-on-year to March 2018, the end of its full financial year. Revenues amounted to ZAR47.5 billion (€3 billion), down slightly on the prior year’s ZAR47.7 billion, while trading profit stood at ZAR6.3 billion, up from ZAR5.3 billion.
The MultiChoice Group also includes content security technology outfit Irdeto.
MultiChoice invested some ZAR2.8 billion in local general entertainment content in the year to March 2018 and ZAR1.3 billion in local sports rights.
By comparison, Naspers’ overall group revenue for the 2017-18 financial year was US$20.1 billion (€17.1 billion), while its trading profit was US$3.4 billion.
Naspers unveiled its plan to spin off MultiChoice last September and simultaneously unbundle the shares in the business to its shareholders.
The plan included a commitment to allocate an additional 5% stake in MultiChoice South Africa to black economic empowerment initiative Phuthuna Nathi shareholders for no additional consideration, increasing its stake in the South African unit to 25%.
Naspers named a new management team to lead the independent MultiChoice in October, with regulatory and policy chief Calvo Mawela named as CEO and Naspers Video Entertainment boss Imtiaz Patel named as executive chairman. | 2019-04-24T00:09:01 | https://talkmediaafrica.com/2019/01/23/naspers-to-list-multichoice-at-end-of-february/ |

Sea regions arranged by the percentage of compliance with mandatory values or at least sufficient quality. EU Member States and Croatia. Five Member States (Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Luxembourg and Slovakia) and Switzerland have no coastal bathing waters. The quality classes under the New Bathing Water Directive (2006/7/EC) are jointed with compliance categories under the Bathing Water Directive (76/160/EEC).
The sea region delineation is according to the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) Article 4. As the catchment area of the North-east Atlantic Ocean region is very big, the sub-region level is used, i.e. the Greater North Sea incl. the Kattegat and the English Channel, while other subregions of the North-east Atlantic Ocean are merged into the Atlantic Ocean region. French bathing waters in the Northwest Atlantic Ocean are also included in the Atlantic Ocean region. The Mediterranean Sea region includes Spanish bathing waters on the African coasts. French bathing waters in the Indian Ocean are not included in regional statistics.

With unemployment at its lowest rate in almost 20 years and the pool of qualified job candidates suffering severe drought conditions, the competition for talented employees is hotter than ever – and leading to a new and unsettling trend: Ghosting employers.
Ghosting is no longer relegated to the dating world. Employers are feeling the chill too. More and more job candidates are no-shows for scheduled interviews, their first scheduled day of work, and even current employees are deciding to quit without notice or simply just stop showing up. Remember Office Space? The part where Peter is complaining about his job and Joanna (Jennifer Aniston) asks him if he’s going to quit and he says, “Nuh-uh. Not really. I’m just going to stop going.” It might be hilarious in Office Space, but it’s not so funny when it’s happening with increasing frequency in real life.
It’s not just millennials either, says a new report from CBS News. It’s happening regardless of demographic.
Most of us know the feeling of being ghosted by an employer at some point in our professional careers. Ever thought you nailed an interview and then never heard from the company again?
The tables may be turning in today’s job market. Nowadays it seems like everyone is desperate to hire, and it may be tempting to ghost employers in favor of something better. If you’re landing multiple interviews, why show up to one that you’re pretty sure you won’t take? Better not to waste eveyone’s time, right? Wrong. Here’s why.
Every town is a small town. Even Boston.
When you’re a no-show, you’re burning a bridge. Big time. People switch jobs all the time, but they don’t forget being stood up. You never know when the hiring manager you ghosted for an interview or call back for one job might suddenly be the hiring manager at another company that has your dream job. Not to mention, in today’s social media environment, employers are reaching out through social networks to find their next hire – and vetting candidates. The last thing you need is for the hiring manager to hear you have a reputation for being unprofessional.
Blowing off an interview is pound wise and penny foolish. You owe it to yourself to listen to all the information you can before taking a position. Not showing up to an interview keeps you from an informed decision or having multiple offers on the table. And, if you’re working with a recruiter, know that candidates who ghost a recruiter are unlikely to be referred for future opportunities.
Saying no is a skill.
Avoidance might seem like the easier road to take, but it’s important to be able to face and deal with difficult conversations or confrontation early on in your career. Learning to say no or “not interested” is an important professional skill to have. Ghosting just shows an employer that you lack the skills to communicate and deal with conflict. An employer would much rather you be upfront with them about the situation than leaving them wondering why you’re not returning their attempts to reach you – especially if you initially expressed interest.
Just because you’ve begun conversations with a potential employer doesn’t mean you need to continue to take up your time or theirs if the position is truly not a fit or you’re no longer interested. Just as no one wants to be ghosted, no one wants to waste time either. But, have the professional courtesy to respond or reach out with a polite and professional, “No thank you,” or “I’ve decided I’m not interested.” While the interviewer may be disappointed, it shows that you respect them and their time, and in turn, they’ll respect you. And remember, you never know when or where you may cross professional paths again. | 2019-04-20T22:29:21 | https://www.bankwstaffing.com/ghosting-employers-is-the-new-trend/ |

In Afrika, some issues like loss of life, taxes, and visitors gridlocks are sure. Heavy visitors gridlocks are extra of a current phenomenon just like the cell phone. Nonetheless, these gridlocks can be considered as a possibility to pause and observe the casual sector in movement – the expansion engine supercharging livelihoods in chaotic and undesirable methods in city and peri-urban areas on the continent.
Throughout visitors gridlocks on main roads, for instance, there are every kind of individuals making an attempt to promote one thing to the following individual, from newspapers, handkerchiefs, cell phone airtime scratch playing cards, contemporary fruit, chewing gum, and so forth. That is the place you witness the casual commerce occurring in real-time but very often, it isn’t unusual to search out these high-hustle hawkers, younger and outdated, taking part in disguise and search with legislation enforcement authorities.
The explanations for these run-ins are a number of however the principle one appears to be the criminalization of the casual sector for its failure to straight contribute to the tax base.
Multinational expertise corporations, or Large Tech as they’re generally recognized, who function in Afrika usually are not a lot totally different. Solely that they put on Savile Row fits and communicate Victorian English and function out of glass workplaces.
The Economist reported that the taxman in Afrika is hampering the unfold of expertise adoption as a result of they tax revolutionary and technological merchandise closely. But, quite the opposite, Large Tech has mastered the artwork of dodging taxes.
In Nigeria for instance, Large Tech similar to Fb, Twitter, and Google pay no taxes, in any respect. But Nigeria stays the most important addressable market in sub-Saharan Afrika for these tech juggernauts.
Conversely, Netflix is operational throughout sub-Saharan Afrika however doesn’t have any single consultant workplace on the continent, doesn’t pay a nickel to tax authorities and indefatigably continues to nibble away the market. To be honest the most important cable and pay TV networks on the continent pay excessive broadcasting licenses in all international locations of operations.
This debate just isn’t new. British residents in 2014 have been enraged as a result of Fb paid simply £four,372 (about $6,100) in company tax within the UK. That is regardless of making staggering revenues of over £105 million ($168 million).
Nonetheless, following stringent measures and threats from the UK authorities, Fb reported a £four,2 million tax invoice. In January 2016, Google struck a take care of UK that might allow it make a again cost of £130 million ($185 million) referring to earnings the corporate generated within the UK previously decade.
Once we discuss concerning the dodginess of tech giants in fulfilling their tax dues to Afrika’s tax authorities, it’s not in direct reference to the Facebooks and Googles that stand tall.
Truly, whereas Fb ought to justifiably pay native taxes, their contribution can be dismal, at the very least for now. Their lack of on-premise operations on the continent is type of misplaced a debate for the time being. The largest tech culprits are telecommunications corporations (and the brand new linchpin on the town, banks).
There isn’t any expertise that has captured widespread creativeness in current instances than the cell phone within the Savannah.
The cell phone has been an efficient a part of essential infrastructure that has underpinned Afrika’s progress story during the last decade.
In line with business watchdog GSMA, there are over 427 million cellular subscribers in Afrika, and this solely signifies that telecommunications corporations at the moment are the most important contributors to authorities revenues in lots of Afrikan international locations – though some experiences say they’re the least regulated when juxtaposed towards different excessive profile industries like petroleum, fuel, and mining.
That is regardless of the actual fact lots of them are the most important beneficiaries of tax rebates and exemptions on the continent.
Nonetheless, telecommunications corporations are onerously one of many largest culprits of tax avoidance and evasion.
Switch pricing is a classy car designed by Faustian legal professionals and accountants utilized by corporations in order to pay little or no taxes.
For instance, a subsidiary firm in Uganda creates synthetic working prices similar to administration charges, technical charges, procurement prices amongst others which it should pay to her dad or mum firm situated in a tax haven similar to Mauritius, or Dubai. Because of this the subsidiary would declare a decrease profit-before-tax and the taxman in Uganda would solely obtain lower than what they really deserve.
In brief, multinational corporations make use of switch pricing to legally transfer their earnings offshore, forsaking a shrinking tax base of their host international locations and inexorable cuts to public companies. For any economic system, it’s a gradual loss of life, and it appears, Afrikan economies are probably the most susceptible.
Essentially the most pronounced instance is MTN Nigeria’s and MTN Uganda’s use of complicated switch pricing schemes to maneuver their earnings to offshore tax havens within the British Virgin Islands, Dubai, and Mauritius. The investigations by the unbiased tax our bodies in Nigeria and Uganda noticed one crimson flag in widespread: unvalidated administration charges of over three% of the MTN’s annual revenues.
For corporations that aren’t into core expertise companies, fraudulent procurement of ‘IT companies’ from tech enterprise giants has created the right freeway to sidestep the taxman. It is because it is extremely onerous for regulators to show what sort of IT companies have been procured or not.
Additionally, it’s onerous to ascertain the true worth or worth of the ICT services and products procured.
The exponential progress of cellular has altogether created a bunch of ancillary companies and unlocked new markets. Most exceptional is the unprecedented progress of cellular cash which has threatened the century-old banking institution on the continent.
The following large race has meant that banks should run sooner or within the tracts of Telecommunications corporations if they’re to have an opportunity on the social, cellular and digital tomorrow.
Nonetheless, in addition to remodeling their instruments and boosting their cellular friendliness, it appears they’ve additionally categorically cherrypicked the identical devices of tax avoidance too. Certainly, what’s good for the goose should be good for the gander.
The script is commonly the identical however one solely will get much less cryptic when a serious scandal rocks an business. Not too long ago there was a forensic investigation into the hideous and soiled workings of now estranged Crane financial institution Ltd by the Central Financial institution of Uganda.
Crane Financial institution was the grasp of doubtful funds to tech software program retailers in a bid to siphon revenue. In a single tell-tale incident, Crane Financial institution paid Misys UGX 58million ($16,110) for a core banking resolution. But this actual related software program was procured from one other firm, Know-how Associates (TA) at UGX 1bn, 17 instances extra the value paid to Misys. The extra damning factor, nonetheless, is that TA truly by no means delivered this service.
Transferring on, ardent monetary commentator and inventory picker, Andrew Muhimbise, wrote a passionate Fb word decrying what had grow to be of Stanbic Financial institution Uganda – a subsidiary of the Commonplace Financial institution Group – in reporting decrease profit-before-tax in a bid to cut back shareholders’ annual dividends, and in addition to reduce their tax spend.
He mentioned that the ‘incredible’ revenue repatriation scheme deployed by Stanbic financial institution was the UGX 130 billion ($36.1million) buy of IT software program in a single yr to serve underneath 670,000 purchasers. Even when this price was to be rationalized by spreading it throughout a 20 yr interval, the unit price of this software program (per consumer) can be nonetheless approach increased than the nation’s GDP per capita. And technological obsolesce would have lengthy paid heed.
He mentioned that the finance minds at Stanbic Financial institution capitalized the majority of this spend (on IT software program) as an intangible asset at UGX 83 billion, left UGX 46 billion on the expense account within the money circulation assertion. Because of this they ably hid over 56% of a doubtful buy from the visibility of unsophisticated shareholders and uncanny taxmen and taxwomen.
A report collectively commissioned by the United Nations and the African Union underneath the supervision of former South African president Thabo Mbeki thought-about tax avoidance by multinationals to be an “illicit monetary circulation” and a major drain on authorities assets throughout the continent.

Whereas anecdotal proof factors to jail for the perpetrators of those financial crimes, lots stays trapped within the gray and opaque gradients. What occurs in lots of circumstances is that the media is proscribed from reporting and investigating circumstances for worry of retribution or withdrawal of commercials.
Equally, these gigantic firms have realized the artwork of pleading their circumstances in subliminal methods; particularly by contributing closely in direction of company social duty.
In a single excessive case, a Ugandan telecommunications firm gained a prestigious Loeries award for having constructed (or slightly claimed to have constructed) a digital library for a main faculty in Northern Uganda all within the title of incomes political buy-in and mass attraction.

KUCHING, Nov 7: The Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) has been urged to investigate the tender process of infrastructure projects involving the state’s second trunk road, coastal road and Upper Rajang Development Authority (URDA).
Sarawak Pakatan Harapan chairman Chong Chieng Jen felt a lot of inappropriate practices might have occurred within the Public Works Department in the awarding of projects involving the work packages of the coastal road, second trunk road and URDA development initiatives.
“If you look at projects under the ministry on a whole, there are a lot of familiar names that keep popping up undertaking mega projects, including those in the second trunk road project, coastal road, as well as Upper Rajang Development Authority.
“I think it is not fair that there are over 20 packages of road projects and 15 packages of water supply projects under URDA. Since there are many project packages, it should be shared with the many contractors in the state,” he told reporters on the sidelines of the State Legislative Assembly (DUN) sitting here today.
Chong, who is also Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, said Putrajaya had intervened in the awarding of contracts by restricting the number of consultants to three for projects under URDA.
There are over 50 construction consulting firms in Sarawak that are active and able to undertake government projects, he pointed out, while adding that the contracts should be broken into smaller packages so that more contractors could be involved.
Chong claimed the open tender process could also be rigged.
He believed that the short timeline to submit tenders had restricted the participation of many, and those with prior knowledge of the tender beforehand would have the advantage to prepare their tenders to meet the deadlines.
“This is a terrible practice, I’m calling on MACC to investigate the Ministry of Infrastructure Development and Transportation,” he said.
The state government has approved over RM1.4 billion worth of development projects for areas under URDA, which would be implemented within the next two years.
The projects, to improve infrastructure and amenities such as roads, water and electricity, would benefit areas in Kanowit, Song, Kapit, Bukit Mabong and Belaga.
Chong had previously called for an open tender to the awarding of the projects and stop the direct award practice for the coastal road, second trunk road and URDA development. | 2019-04-21T00:24:26 | https://dayakdaily.com/chong-urges-macc-to-probe-mega-infrastructure-projects-in-sarawak/ |

Following the UK launch of the Broom 430 earlier this month, Motor Boats Monthly has taken the new arrival out on the water for the first time.
Nick Burnham chose the cruiser for his first ever trip across the English Channel and was full of praise for the 43-footer.
“Based on the Broom 425 but brought bang up to date, the 430 is big, solid and confidence inspiring,” Nick reports.
He also notes that it dealt admirably with the choppy conditions experienced through the Alderney Race during his passage from Southampton to Jersey.
Powered by twin Volvo Penta D6-370 shaft-drive diesel engines, the Broom 430 has a maximum speed of 25 knots and costs from £435,000 (including VAT).
Nick’s full review of the Broom 430 will be published in Motor Boats Monthly this summer. | 2019-04-22T22:18:37 | https://www.mby.com/motor-boat-news-boat-reviews-pictures-and-videos/promotions/home-promotions/broom-430-first-impressions-of-the-new-cruiser-41389 |

(CNN) — Elephants are giant, cancer-battling super creatures that destroy damaged cells long before they become cancerous, scientists say.
In a study released this week, scientists said elephant genes may provide a crucial clue in the fight against human cancer.
The mammoth mammals rarely get cancer, which has long bewildered scientists considering elephants have 100 times as many cells as humans.
“They should be 100 times more likely to have a cell slip into a cancerous state and trigger the disease over their long life span of 50 to 70 years,” scientists at the University of Utah said.
Yet they don’t. The cancer mortality rate for elephants is less than 5% compared with 25% in people, the study said.
A team of scientists from the University of Utah and Arizona State University said they can explain the lower numbers.
In their search for answers, they combed through elephant DNA and found a few deviations.
Elephants have extra genes that stop tumors long before they form.
They have “at least 40 copies of genes that code for p53, a protein well known for its cancer-inhibiting properties,” scientists said. In comparison, humans have only two copies of such genes.
The massive animals also detect damaged cells preemptively, which they then repair or kill.
“Elephants may have a more robust mechanism for killing damaged cells that are at risk for becoming cancerous,” the study said.
During the study, scientists extracted white blood cells from elephants and damaged the cells’ DNA.
“It’s as if the elephants said, ‘It’s so important that we don’t get cancer, we’re going to kill this cell and start over fresh,'” said Joshua Schiffman, one of the study’s author and a pediatric oncologist at the University of Utah School of Medicine.
The study involved work by researchers from the two universities, and the Ringling Bros. Center for Elephant Conservation. The results were published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Without the genetic cancer-fighting ability, elephants would be long gone.
While there are other contributing factors that make humans more at risk of getting cancer, experts said, the study provides insight on treatment.
“Nature has already figured out how to prevent cancer,” Schiffman said. | 2019-04-21T20:37:46 | https://fox4kc.com/2015/10/10/elephant-genes-hold-clues-for-fight-against-cancer-scientists-say/ |

Bhojpur is home to the magnificent temple of Bhojeshwar dedicated to Lord Shiva, built by Raja Bhojadeva of Paramara Dynasty during 11th century AD. The temple lies incomplete due to unknown reasons. Though there are various hypotheses with regards to the unfinishedness of this massive structure, the truth behind it being incomplete is still a mystery. It is hard to digest the fact that this temple was never finished, considering the efforts, planning and the resources that have been put in for the construction. The most accepted principle in temple construction is that the installation of the idol in the garbagriha or the sanctum sanctorum is carried out only after the temple is wholly constructed. Thus, to declare this temple was never finished itself seems a myth. Another angle to this could be that the Shiva Linga was installed here much before the Paramara period and Raja Bhojadeva only decided to build a grander temple than the already existing one. As per traditional belief, the huge Shivalinga here is associated with the Pandavas and this surely speaks about the antiqueness of the Linga. Somehow we still remain skeptical about the temple being incomplete. There is a possibility that the temple was damaged due to an unexpected natural catastrophe or even the angle of enemies of the Paramaras such as the Chalukyas, Kalachuris or the Sultans of Delhi/ Gujarat having successfully attempted to destroy the temple cannot be discarded. Whatever the case may be or whichever theory we may adopt to give a rational explanation of this temple, the Shiv temple at Bhojpur today is a standing example portraying the exemplary architectural skills and techniques the Medieval Indians possessed.
As we continued from Ashapuri towards Bhojpur, the mighty Bhojeshwar temple was visible from far and seemed inviting. We were awestruck to witness this colossal edifice. As we entered the temple, the only intriguing thought that arose in our minds was that of the excellent execution and workmanship, considering the enormity of this structure. There are various evidences found here that give us a general idea about the temple construction. The ramp attached at the rear of the temple is one such, along with the line drawings exhibiting the plan of the temple with its various parts. The Bhojeshwar Linga is a gigantic one, sitting pretty on a huge platform. The Linga is considered to be one among the tallest and the grandest of all. Unlike other temples built by the Paramaras, this temple is devoid of a mandapa in front of the Garbhagriha (Sanctum) and houses a rectilinear roof instead of a curvilinear Shikara, again raising more questions about the purpose of this temple.
Bhojeshwar temple is square in plan and built on a platform with a grand door jamb. The walls of the temple lack any kind of ornamentation and is window less, comprising three balconies on its three sides. The balconies are beautifully carved and supported by massive brackets. The ceiling of the temple rests on four monstrous pillars, of which the damaged one was replaced by an alternate pillar by the ASI during its restoration. Thanks to their effort, we can today enjoy viewing this masterpiece. Hereon we moved towards the site close-by to the temple which carries the line drawings of the temple plan and its various segments. Though witnessing such line drawings was our first, they only left us wondering about how and why the temple construction was discontinued (if so) as the drawings go on to depict the temple details very meticulously.
Accommodation: The best option would be to stay at Bhopal and plan the journey towards Bhojpur.
Where to eat: There are few road side eateries serving Poha and Jalebi with hot Chai.

Deciding when it is too late to plant a garden requires a little math. Each plant has a number of days from the time the seed is planted to the time the plant will bear vegetables or flowers.
The majority of annual flower seeds are planted in April for spring and summer blooming that will go into the fall for some varieties.
Perennials are best planted in the fall.
Bulbs should be planted while the soil is still warm and mulched to overwinter.
Wildflowers and other flower seeds can be planted in the fall to emerge in the spring.
Fall mums should be planted in the spring after the last frost.
You can always transplant annual flowers during the summer growing season as long as you fertilize and water during the hot summer days. The flower display won't be as profuse as ones planted in the spring, but they'll be blooming until the first frost.
The maturation date is on the seed packet. This is the time frame beginning when you plant the seeds and harvest the first vegetables. Most vegetables have a maturation date of 50 to 75 days (some longer).
Beets: Maturation is between 45 and 60 days, depending on variety.
Cabbage: 65 to 75 days. Cabbage will grow in 60°F to 65°F.
You can take the maturation day number and apply it to the calendar, starting with the day you'll plant the seeds.
Once you know how many days the maturation period is, you need to review the USDA Hardiness Zone Map to find the first frost date for your zone. This approximate date (usually a week time frame) will give you a timeline to use in determining if you have enough time to plant the seeds and produce enough vegetables to harvest. You'll want the minimum of a week to harvest a few vegetables. Longer means a bigger harvest.
If the plant takes longer than the calculated time frame needed to grow and harvest, then it's too late to plant. You're better off to start planning for next year's garden.
If you're planting a 50-day maturation cucumber, then simply walk back the date from the expected first frost to find the latest time you can plant seeds. You'll need to know your USDA Hardiness Zone to find your region's frost dates (first and last).
Zone 3 growing season is roughly between May 15 (last frost) and September 15 (first frost). This only gives a four-month growing season. It's best to plant seeds and transplants as soon as possible.
Cool weather vegetables do well in this hardiness zone.
The latest time to plant for most vegetables would be the second week in June with a short harvest time.
If planting crops that mature within 50 days, you could plant those as late as the last week in June, but keep in mind the weather will be turning cooler, especially at night.
Cool crops are best for late plantings.
The growing season for Zone 4 is from May 15 - June 1 (last frost) to September 15 - October 1 (first frost). The same planting times for Zone 3 can apply to this zone since the first frost could come as early as September.
The Zone 5 growing season is typically from May 15 (last frost) to October 15 (first frost). There is the possibility of a second garden harvest if you plant no later than June 15. You certainly can have a cool weather garden in until the first frost, such as lettuce, carrots, radishes, beets and Brussels sprouts.
The growing season for Zone 6 is typically from April 1 - 15 (last frost) to October 15 - 30 (first frost). This can provide two growing seasons. Plant your second garden no later than the second week in July to reap a moderate harvest. A second garden planted in June should provide an abundant harvest until the first frost.
The growing season for Zone 7 is mid-April (last frost) to mid-October (first frost). You can plant a second garden no later than the last week in June for short maturation crops. A June 1 planting in Zone 7 will give you enough time to enjoy a sizeable second harvest.
The growing season for Zone 8 is from March 21 - 31 (last frost) to October 11 - 20 (first frost). The first frost occurs between October 11 and October 20. You can plant vegetables as late as the second week in July for a short harvest time frame.
The grow season for Zone 9 is almost continuous. The only time frame you need to be concerned about is less than two weeks in January when the first and last frosts occur.
You should check to see what the normal temperatures are during the last weeks of the growing season. For example, a season going into September and early October will have lower night temperatures. Some summer crops don't fair well in a cooler climate.
For example, tomatoes and peppers prefer hot temperatures. Cooler temperatures will slow down production.
You should consider planting cool vegetable crops for late season plantings.
Use row covers and mulch to extend into winter gardening.
While you can plant a late planting to the first frost date, it's always best to allow as much growing time as possible. If you missed the spring planting, then calculate which vegetables you can grow now and still have a harvest before the first frost. | 2019-04-23T13:08:38 | https://garden.lovetoknow.com/garden-basics/when-is-it-too-late-plant-garden |

Last night’s (February 7) Super Bowl 50 saw an inspired halftime show: Beyonce somehow surpassed impossibly-high expectations with a ferocious performance of her African-American empowerment anthem “Formation," Bruno Mars delivered in equal measure, solidifying his reputation as a stellar live act with minimal screen time. Coldplay were also there, reminding viewers of epic halftime performances of years past with help from a video montage. The show, overall, was a good one, and yet some viewers are miffed that it wasn’t 100% live.
A Reddit user posted a photo showing DJ and "Uptown Funk" producer Mark Ronson using unplugged equipment, indicating aspects of the show may have ben prerecorded, as though this were a revelatory discovery. But the Super Bowl halftime performance is never 100% live because, logistically, it can't be.
Flea's letter to fans was something of an eye-opener for viewers — but, again, it's nothing new.
"A lot of the (Super Bowl) bands want to play live, but you just can't do it,” Super Bowl music audio supervisor Mike Stahl told the San Diego Tribune back in 2003. “The only reason they won’t be live is we can’t do a line check (of all the amplifiers and monitor speakers). If you were going to do it live, it would take an hour to go through every instrument to make sure all the lines were perfect. So you have a live vocal to a canned track, simply because we don't have enough time -- we have 3 1/2 minutes to get the sound system set up (for the halftime show)."
Let's try remember this for Super Bowl 51, okay? | 2019-04-25T04:27:02 | http://popcrush.com/mark-ronson-super-bowl-halftime-djing-live/ |

Konkoly Observatory (Hungarian: Konkoly Obszervatórium; obs. code: 053) is an astronomical observatory owned and operated by the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, located in Budapest, Hungary. It was founded in 1871 by Hungarian astronomer Miklós Konkoly-Thege (1842–1916) as a private observatory, and was donated to the state in 1899. Konkoly Observatory, officially known as MTA CSFK Konkoly Thege Miklós Csillagászati Intézete in Hungarian, is the largest astronomical research institute in Hungary, and hosts the largest telescopes in the country.
As well as performing astronomical research, the observatory publishes the Information Bulletin on Variable Stars on behalf of the International Astronomical Union.
Hungarian nobleman Miklós Konkoly-Thege founded his private observatory in 1871 at Hurbanovo, in Northern Hungary, known as Ógyalla in Hungarian at the time. The instrumentation included a 6" refractor, a 10.5" Browning reflector (later replaced with a 10" Merz refractor), a meridian circle, a spectrograph, as well as various meteorological and geomagnetic instruments. Konkoly-Thege, who had no offspring, became increasingly afraid over time that his legacy will perish with his death. As a member of the Hungarian Parliament, he was able to convince the government to take the observatory into state property. In 1899, the Hurbanovo site was renamed to Royal Konkoly-founded Astrophysical Observatory, and operated under the direction of Konkoly-Thege and Radó Kövesligethy, a renowned geophysicist of the time. The main scientific profile of the institute was the photometry of stars, the observation of the Sun, meteor counting, and providing time service for the government. In 1913, an order for a 60 cm (24") telescope was finalized with the German Heyde company, but with the start of World War I, the telescope was never built.
After the end of World War I, Ógyalla became part of the newly formed Czechoslovak Republic. The government transferred the scientific equipment to Budapest before the newly formed border was shut down, and in 1921 allocated a new property in the Buda hills just west to Budapest to build a new astronomical observatory. The new building, known as the Svábhegy observatory after a nearby hill, was finished by 1924, and the 6" refractor and the re-ordered 60 cm Heyde telescope were set up in new domes by 1928. Scientific work in the observatory focussed on the light variations of pulsating stars, the orbits of binary stars, and searching for asteroids. Measurements were made with photographic plates and wedge photometers.
The observatory survived World War II with minor damages. In late 1944, observations were put on hold, and the optical elements of the telescopes were removed to protect them from aerial bombings. Soviet troops occupied the buildings from December 1944 until February 1945, but the library and the photographic laboratories were spared. Observations were resumed by July 1945.
After the communist takeover of Hungary in 1948, a new network of research institutes, independent from universities, was set up under the Hungarian Academy of Sciences (HAS). The observatory was renamed to the Astronomical Institute of the HAS, but retained the traditional name, Konkoly Observatory, in English correspondences. With the communist isolation of the country, international relations shifted from predominantly German and American to Soviet and Eastern-bloc partnerships. However, the international recognition of then director László Detre kept some connections to the West alive. During one of his visits to the Western bloc, Detre received an RCA 1P21 photomultiplier tube from American astronomer Harlow Shapley to start photometric measurements at the observatory in 1948. He subsequently smuggled in to the country despite the strict trade restrictions at the time. In 1957, after the launch of Sputnik, multiple independent satellite observing and tracking stations were set up in the country at the suggestion of the Soviet Union. The institute provided coordination for these stations, and in 1966, the Baja station merged into the institute.
Relations with the West soon eased and at the 1961 General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union at Berkeley, the institute was tasked with setting up and circulating the Information Bulletin on Variable Stars. The Bulletin was envisaged to be a rapid communications platform between variable star observers, but it later expanded into a peer-reviewed journal for short papers and notes about variable stars.
The institute expanded in the 1960-70s with the foundation and subsequent independence of the Debrecen Heliophysical Observatory and the installation of new telescopes at Piszkéstető Mountain Station. In 1982, the observatories in Debrecen and Budapest were merged back together to form the Research Institute for Astronomy of the HAS. In 1992, the Baja station was separated from the institute and handed over to the county council of Bács-Kiskun.
In 2012, the Hungarian Academy of Sciences reorganized the structure of its institute network: the Astronomical Institute was merged with three other entities (Institutes for Geography, Geochemistry, and Geodesy and Geophysics) to form the Research Center for Astronomy and Earth Sciences.
The main building of the observatory.

In 1946, a new Solar physics department was initiated under the leadership of Lóránt Dezső. In 1958, the department moved to Debrecen to form a new solar observatory independent of the Astronomical Institute. Observations of the Sun started with two photoheliograph telescopes, one of which was relocated to the top of the water tower at Gyula in 1972. In 1973, a large coronagraph telescope with a 53 cm aperture was set up, but observations were hindered by the cumbersome mechanical setup. Given the low elevation of the observatory of just 124 m above sea level, the coronagraph was only capable to observe the chromosphere of the Sun, not the corona itself.
The main scientific output of the observatory has been the detailed documentation of the photospheric activity of the Sun. The positions, sizes, structures of sunspots and sunspot groups are determined and recorded daily, to provide long-term, homogeneous observations of the Sun. The Debrecen Photoheliographic Data (DPD) database is the direct continuation of the Greenwich Photoheliographic Results that were collected between 1874-1976. Originally, analog photographs and CCD images were collected locally, or from partner observatories, but with the advent of reliable space-based observations, the work transitioned to the analysis of images from the SOHO and SDO spacecrafts. Further data products include the reanalysis of the Greenwich catalog, and older observations based on Hungarian drawings of the Sun.
In 1982, the observatory merged back into the Konkoly Astronomical Institute, and became a department of it once again. In 2015, the old observatory building in Debrecen was deemed unfeasible to maintain, and was closed down. The coronagraph was disassembled, and offices and personnel were transferred to the ATOMKI institute of the HAS in Debrecen. Given that space-based imagery has superseded the ground-based observations as the input source of the databases, the two photoheliographs were also decommissioned and removed from their mounts at Debrecen and Gyula.
In 1951, the observatory secured funding for a new mapping telescope. The initial order was for a 0.9 m, f/3 Sonnefeld telescope but it was soon modified for a 60/90 com Schmidt telescope. With the light pollution of Budapest steadily increasing, a more remote location was sought for the telescope. After settling for Piszkéstető peak in the Mátra mountains, about 80 km away from the capital, a residence building was constructed in 1960, and the new Schmidt telescope was installed in 1962. The telescope provided a 10°x10° field of view with photographic plates and could be equipped with an objective prism for low-resolution mass spectroscopic observations. The large field-of-view led to numerous supernova and asteroid discoveries at the time.
In 1966, a smaller, 0.5 m Cassegrain telescope with a two-channel photoelectric photometer was installed.
Finally, a 1 m Ritchey-Chrétien-coudé (RCC) telescope was installed in 1974, for high-resolution imaging and photometry of fainter targets. This marked the end of the initial development of Piszkéstető station.

In the late 1990s, photographic plates and photometers were replaced with CCD cameras on the Schmidt and RCC telescopes. In 2015, an echelle spectrograph with a spectral resolution of R=20,000 was installed on the RCC telescope.
A 40 cm Ritchey-Chrétien telescope was set up in 2010, intended for automated remote observations. The telescope is currently under refurbishment.
The Fly's Eye system, consisting of 19 small cameras to observe the whole sky above 30° altitude simultaneously, was installed in 2016.
A new, automated 0.8 m telescope to track transient events, e.g., supernovae, is expected to be installed in 2018.
Piszkéstető also hosts other instrumentations, including a seismic and gravimetric station of the Institute for Geophysics and Geodesy, and an infrasound detector array.

The observatory has had many different designations over the years. The current formal designation of the observatory is "Konkoly Observatory, Research Centre for Astronomy and Earth Sciences, Hungarian Academy of Sciences" (Hungarian: Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Csillagászati és Földtudományi Kutatóközpontja, Konkoly Thege Miklós Csillagászati Intézet). A former name, Svábhegyi Csillagvizsgáló, has been revived and used as branding for the public events and exhibitions hosted in the observatory and the 24" inch dome in particular.
The observatory publishes multiple periodicals. The most important one is the Information Bulletin on Variable Stars, established by the IAU in 1961 that contains peer-reviewed papers about variable star research and discoveries. Since 2011, IBVS is published as an online-only, open-access, APC-free journal.
Larger amounts of observational data and proceedings of meetings and conferences have been published in the Communications of the Konkoly Observatory (originally published under various Hungarian and German titles, like Mitteilungen der Sternwarte Budapest/Svábhegy, and later as Mitteilungen der Sternwarte der Ungarishen Akademie der Wissenshaften). The observatory also published a few issues of Monographs (for History of Astronomy topics) and Occasional Technical Notes.

Hi, I'm Caitlin. I am 18 and I write some poetry but it's the only original stuff I can write. So many original story ideas come to me but I can never effectively put them together. I might start and original story, but we'll see. In the meantime, enjoy my one-shots (as I like to call them). I am very outgoing and artsy. I sing, act, dance, play guitar and piano, and I write songs and fanfictions. If you like Harry Potter and Sweeney Todd, look me up on fanfiction dot net as Depp's-Still-Doll and read my stuff. | 2019-04-21T23:26:19 | https://www.booksie.com/users/brokenxwing-43030 |

When Ronald Reagan was Governor of the state of California and chairman of the Republican Governors conference of the United States, he invited Victor Yannacone to address the 33 republican governors at their annual meeting in Little Rock, Arkansas on December 10, 1970 and advise them about politically feasible ways to enact and implement ecologically sophisticated, environmentally responsible, socially relevant, economically rational and politically acceptable legislation to protect the environment for unborn generations.
Yannacone then surprised all the Governors with his moderate philosphy and practical suggestions.
I am not going to berate you and it would be inappropriate to plead with you because you work for me and all the other tax paying citizens of the United States. I don’t even intend to propose simplistic solutions to very complicated problems, nor am I going to suggest that the appointment of a committee of scientists, or lawyers, or sociologists, or even billionaires, self-made or otherwise, will solve your problems.
However, as a poor country lawyer from the East, I will attempt to help all of you and each of you, in whatever way I can, to meet the environmental crisis we all must face together.
Most of our environmental problems stern from the misguided and inept attempts of ecological illiterates to control the uncontrollable.
GMOs (genetically modified organisms) and pesticide abuse are classic examples. Throughout the history of modern large scale farming and animal “husbandry,” agribusiness has ignored the potential value of integrated control techniques where specific chemical bullets are used to augment the armory of natural and biological insect controls.
The indiscriminate use of broad-spectrum, persistant chemical biocides such as DDT, and the DEATH group: dieldrin endrin, aldrin, toxaphene and heptachlor— so altered the ecology of agricultural ecosystems that total reliance on these chemicals for pest control only created new and more resistant pest species. Using GMOs to modify the natural properties of plants and animals to make them resistant to the chemicals we market and sell to defeat the natural processes of biological control in complex ecosystems because they are too slow to be really profitable is not the answer. It just compounds the problems and makes matters worse.
Utilizing our water resources for waste disposal creates other problems. Oceans, and rivers, lakes and streams are just like any other sink—they have a finite capacity for waste, after which they back up. Moreover, they fight back as algae blooms quickly decay into stinking sulfurous miasmas.
Our atmosphere is not a limitless sink into which we can pour countless tons of noxious gases and poisonous particulates. The atmosphere too has a finite capacity for waste, and Nature will not give us much notice when we reach that limit.
It should be obvious that our apparent dominion over the environment is really but a license from nature with the fee yet to be paid. We should have learned from the disastrous effects of radionuclide fallout that what we sow we must also reap, yet the fallout of lead and other heavy metals, chlorinated hydrocarbons and other toxicants continues at an increasing rate.
Human beings have ears, yet we do not hear the warnings shouted from the environment all around. Noise is tolerated and we even have a new unit for its measure—the PNdb. The standard-makers took the noise equivalent of a four engine jet transport on take-off as the maximum sound level which a human being can tolerate and now consider any noise of less intensity even more tolerable even though there is ample evidence that continued random awakenings can produce transient psychoses.
There is a legend in the folk history of almost all cultures about a young man who made a pact with Death in which Death agreed to give him 3 warnings before he finally took the man. After many years, as the man lay dying, he demanded Death honor the bargain and give warning. Death told him that he had honored the bargain, but the man never heard the warnings hidden in the miraculous recovery, the narrow escape, and the passage of time.
We have been warned. We have been given a rare choice as the result of our attempt as a species to act as Lord and Master of the environment rather than conservatively manage its limited natural resources. We can either drown in our own sewage, die buried under our own garbage, choke to death on air we cannot breath, or be driven to homicide and suicide by the noise around us.
The worst offenders in the process of environmental degradation are not the ruthless entrepreneurs dedicated to wanton exploitation of our natural resources— the profiteers and abusers of the air, water, and arable soils which belong to al of us— but the shortsighted, allegedly public interest alphabet agencies of the federal and state governments and their unassailable unresponsive bureaucracies staffed by unaccountable bureaucrats. Their mission oriented determinations preclude any consideration of the long term ecological consequences of their decisions.
With the litigation against DDT which launched what is now called the Environment Movement, Carol Yannacone finished the work of Rachel Carson by raising the public hue and cry against DDT, the compound that was once hailed as the chemical savior of mankind which would lead to a world without insect borne diseases such as malaria.
You can write a law absolutely banning the use of DDT or any other chemical just as they wrote the constitutional amendment prohibiting the sale of alcoholic beverages with pretty much the same results. Instead of speakeasys and bathtub gin, we’ll have the Grange and bootleg DDT.
How do you draft a law that is ecologically sophisticated, environmentally responsible, socially relevant, economically rational, and politically feasible?
The Supreme Court’s ruling on “one man-one vote” and even the subsequent reapportionment of many state legislatures have not eliminated voting blocs from the political structure of all the states, their municipal subdivisions, and the United States.
There are still Italians, Irish, Poles, Germans, Slavs, Blacks, Jews, Hispanics from all the Spanish speaking countries of the world, Teachers, Union members, non-union blue collar and white collar workers, Miners, Farmers, Ranchers, Cattlemen, Sheepmen, Oilmen, Gasmen, City dwellers, Suburbanites, Tobacco companies, Big Pharma, “beverage” makers, industries of all kinds, public power interests, private utility companies, the highway lobby, the senior citizens, the teenagers, the young people, students, the middle aged, the Hawks and the Doves, the Hippies, the Yippies, the YAFs, the Conservatives, the Liberals and yes, even Republicans and Democrats. All of them must be at least partially satisfied with your overall voting record and the programs you legislate and execute or you just won’t get re-elected. And even scientists and conservationists are beginning to understand that an elected official is only effective while they remain elected officials. The best intentioned elected officials in the world can do little good if they lose the next election, or cannot steer effective legislation through their legislature.
Remember the “good old days” of conservation? When conservationists used to contribute. All they wanted were ducks in the marsh, deer in the forest, trout in the streams, salmon in the rivers, robins on the lawn, a few parks here and there, some scenic highways to get to them, and a Conservation Commissioner, just so that they knew they had the ear of the goverment. Those were the “good old days.” Today the environmentalists demand clean air and clean water—NOW! But they still want cheap food and transportation no matter what the cost— to someone else.
It is very easy for these self-styled protectors of the environment to tell you about the environmental crisis and all the ecological disasters mankind faces and how it is all your fault as elected officials that the country is being ruined and that it is up to you to do something about it immediately.
It is very easy for acolytes of Big Data to tell you that the new deus ex machina the great God in their Computers will tell you how to do it just so long as you appropriate enough money for them to ask their computers the right questions.
Also, the conservationists and environmentalists conveniently forget that government action programs cost public monies and that the source of these funds depends in large measure upon the very interests whose activities are being challenged.
Any law simplistically banning the use or sale, or distribution of DDT or any other environmental toxicant in your state, without any further attempt at developing an ecologically sophisticated pesticide regulation program, is a bad law. It won’t satisfy anyone very long, and it will permanently polarize agriculture and conservation in a way that common problems can no longer be solved by reasonable discussion.
I suggest that you all profit from the DDT litigation. The Courtroom is indeed an arena in which scientific opinion can be tested in the crucible of cross-examination, and the only real risk is to the combatants. And you have all learned by now, lawyers are politically expendable.
In 1966, a citizen sought equitable relief from a toxic insult to the community ecosystem, suing not just a local mosquito commission using DDT, but 1,1,1-1richloro-2,2-bis(parachlorophenyl) ethane—DDT itself.
Finally in a New York court of equity the full weight of scientific evidence against DDT was presented to the social conscience of the community in a forum protected from the political, economic and bureaucratic pressures that for 20 years had successfully suppressed the evidence of DDT’s worldwide damage to the environment.
Finally, the Agrichemical-Agribusiness political complex was forced to put its propaganda to the test.
Three years later, at Madison, Wisconsin, Dr. Harry W. Hays, Director of the Pesticides Registration Division of the U.S. Department of Agriculture testified: “If the data appear to us… to be adequate … the product is registered. We look at the data, but we don’t do it analytically. We don’t check it by the laboratory method.” At last Americans were told that the Department of Agriculture relies entirely on data furnished by pesticide manufacturers and does not conduct any test on its own.
Moreover, Dr. Hays further admitted that although he has personal knowledge of scientific studies showing damage to fish and wildlife from DDT, USDA is “not doing anything” about possible environmental hazards from the pesticide. Dr. Hays proudly stated, however, that the Department of Agriculture is completely responsible for the registration of pesticides and for determining whether they may be shipped in interstate commerce.
He reluctantly admitted that the public has no access to USDA records of pesticide registration. Only in an adversary judicial proceeding was it finally demonstrated that the United States Department of Agriculture is really serving the Agrichemical industry and not the American people.
It has long been obvious that the existing pesticide regulation laws are fatally flawed and patently inadequate, but the initial reaction of conservationists all over the country is to demand a majority of conservationists on the Pesticide Control Boards that are now almost wholly dominated by agricultural interests.
Again the antithesis of American representative government. Their mantra is, “You make me the boss and all will be well!
In 1968, we began to search for a way to write a pesticide control law that would be essentially immune to the makeup of the body administering that law. A law that would protect the environment whether the board adminstering it was made up entirely of farmers or entirely of bird-watchers. A law that would insure maximum agricultural production over the long term, at minimum cost to the farmer and with minimum disturbance to the environment.
The key to such a law is in the criteria for administrative action. Write the criteria for administrative judgment into the law so that the determination of the administrative bodies could be later tested in a Court of law, if necessary, against some kind of objective standard.
The conservationists would have us prohibit the use of any material that killed anything other than target insect organisms. This of course would reduce insect control methods to certain specific control processes, the flyswatter and the hammer and block. Totally inadequate for feeding all of us who are hungry.
Again the DDT lawsuits furnished the answer. Economic entomologists supplied by the Industry Task Force For DDT of the National Agricultural Chemicals Association told us about the damage from insects and experts from the University of California told us about biological controls and it became obvious that the ultimate control of insect predation on food crops and domestic animals would be an integrated combination of biological controls and selected chemical controls.
Finally it became obvious that that the key definitions for any pesticide control law were three: “pest ,” “economic threshold,” and “control.” Our definitions were definitions that each vested interest— Agriculture, Chemical Company and Environmentalist— could live with. Grumble as they might, they were acceptable. And acceptability is the hallmark of politically successful legislation.
The next important clement of pesticide legislation is the information requirement. Again we must satisfy both the farmers and the bird watchers.
Immediately there will be a hue and cry as to the difficulty of furnishing this information, but again, the law must place the burden on those most able to pay, the agricultural chemical industry itself, and impose a duty of continued disclosure of reported adverse effects.
Even if these companies do contribute, directly or indirectly to your election, they still cannot produce the number of actual votes that a good pesticide law satisfying a majority of agricultural and conservation interests will produce.
Finally, no law is complete without a safety valve, that provision in the law that makes it acceptable to all parties: the provision for judicial review on demand by citizens or industry. This means that in a matter of great controversy the issues will be settled in Court. Since our courts are non-political, and all elected officials have a declared policy of non-interference in judicial matters, whatever the courts decide, you will have done your best, and you will have done it in the highest and best political spirit of non-partisan government. In other words, whatever the court decides, its not your fault.
The model law provides for a speedy, summary appeal for industry through familiar administrative review channels, while the citizen is afforded a declaratory judgment procedure and provision is made to protect the industry from harassment or frivolous litigation.
In 1969 the problem was persistent chlorinated had to carbon pesticides in a short time later PCBs and shortly after that dioxin. The real problem, however, it is toxic substances and hazardous wastes and their impact on the environment in general, and the air, water, and soils upon which we all depend for the quality of our lives and our very existence. The same structural model for legislation regulating toxic substances and hazardous wastes of any kind could be implemented today and allow the American Free Enterprise System to grow and prosper while the unproductive and unaccountable bureaucracy shrinks.
Environmental protection in the long run requires and really demands inter-state cooperation and to a certain extent regional planning. Every state and every municipal subdivision of every state is engaged in an economic Life and death competition for the tax revenue from Business and industrial operations throughout the United States. The art of industrial piracy, even when euphemistically referred to as “incentives for industrial relocation” threatens every state or municipal subdivision that attempts to enforce laws restricting environmental contamination with toxic substances and hazardous wastes, or limit the use of nonrenewable natural resources, or protect unique National natural resource treasures pollution control laws. The political reality, however, is that some businesses and even entire industries are captives of the geopolitical areas in which they are located, and some geopolitical units and even the entire region of which they are apart are captives of their principal businesses and industries.
Let us consider first the states which own their industries. The enormous clouds of soot and ash from the open burning of wood dust from logging operations in Oregon were allowed to continue because the timber industry threatened that if laws were inactive to prohibit such Open burning, the timber industry would move away. Yes indeed, I am sure that the giant timber companies— the Paul Bunyan’s of Wall Street— would pick up their douglas fir forests from the slopes of our West Coast Mountains and move to Kansas. Sure they would, if they could.
The same way, the aluminum companies would move away from the cheap electric power of the major federal hydroelectric installations. The same way Agribusiness would leave the Great Plains. Nonsense! Those industries will stay where they are and they will spread the cost of pollution control over the entire market for their product just as they have spread the cost of all social legislation affecting their industry: social security, unempolyment insurance, workers’ compensation, disability benefits, health insurance… Isn’t it a lot simpler to have the cost paid by the consumer as a small increase in price at the market level, rather than with a large increase in federal taxes and encouragement for an ever expanding federal bureaucracy?
Learn from the history of Rome. Two thousand years ago Romann Legions ruled the world and Roman roads and Roman law united it. The brought peace and prosperity. Italy was blessed with seaports and became the center of world trade, but it stood still while the rest of the world passed by. As the world grow dark into the Middle Ages, the city states of Italy refused to deal with regional problems on a cooperative basis. They competed for what should have been national treasure, and no nation was built until, awash in the backwaters of time where they had fallen from the heights of empire, power and culture, they turned first to a King and then to a dictator.
Our Federal system can only survive if the states contribute their fair share to the development of the nation. Clean air and clean water are regional problems. They are also political problems. If we are to have air fit to breath and water safe to drink, it will depend on the skills and talents of those of you who are now elected officials or who wil eventually become eected officials.
I don’t berate our elected officials and public servants, and all those aspiring to replace them. I salute you. You have succeeded in highest endeavor of human beings and accepted the greatest challenge of human society: government of your fellow men and women and protection of their children. You have successfully practiced the noblest art of our species, the art of politics, the art of the possible.
You have each been chosen by the people of your states to lead, and you were chosen because you were able to satisfy a majority of the Italians, Irish, Poles, Germans, Slavs, Blacks, Jews, Hispanics from all the Spanish speaking countries of the world, Teachers, Union members, non-union blue collar and white collar workers, Miners, Farmers, Ranchers, Cattlemen, Sheepmen, Oilmen, Gasmen, City dwellers, Suburbanites, Tobacco companies, Big Pharma, “beverage” makers, industries of all kinds, public power interests, private utility companies, the highway lobby, the senior citizens, the teenagers, the young people, students, the middle aged, the Hawks and the Doves, the Hippies, the Yippies, the YAFs, the Conservatives, the Liberals and yes, even Republicans and Democrats.
You each have the skills, yes, the genius necessary to meet the environmental crisis facing the nation today. Unfortunately, the ways of Congress are too slow and the problems too specific to the disparate regional environmental systems of our country for a common solution to come from the marble halls of Washington.
The war against environmental degradation will be fought in the states and in their municipal subdivisions: Counties, towns, villages, and hamlets. The victory will be won in the state houses and peace and prosperity will come from those “backrooms” where political compromises are forged. In the last analysis, you may literally choke on those decisions, but, with the grace of God, and by the political intuition that you bring to elected office, together with the support of all those who helped make you each an elected official, the environmental crisis can be met successfully.
It is up to you, each and every one of you. May God bless each of you and God help all of us. | 2019-04-20T20:23:06 | https://yannalaw.com/public-policy-essay-1/current-events/an-open-letter-to-elected-representatives-and-candidates-for-their-jobs-about-the-environment/ |

Status May, 14th, 2018: On May 14th, 2018, the LO-ANH Foundation team (LOAN Stiftung, Isabelle Müller and Corinna Buchholz) visited at one’s own expense and not at the expense of the foundation the village of Ban Dung, Duong Hong commune, Bac Me District, Ha Giang Province in the north of Vietnam.
The district of Bac Me is 53 Kilometer far from Ha Giang city, located at the east of the province. It is next to Yen Minh district in the north, next to the districts of Lam Binh and Na Hang in the province of Tuyen Quang in the south, Ha Giang city and the district of Vi Xuyen in the west and Bao Lam district in the province Cao Bang in the east.
The district has one town and 12 communes. The total land area of Bac Me is 85606,45 ha (10,77 % of the provincial area) and it is located in the middle of the provinces of Ha Giang and Cao Bang. The population of the district is 46879 people (9299 households) coming from 14 different ethnic minorities. The largest minorities are: Dao (37%), Tay (22,34%) and H´Mong (22,21%). Remaining minorities such as Kinh, Hoa, Pu Peo, Giay and Nung are also represented. The rate of poverty is 36,5% (3792 households or 10375 people).
The commune of Duong Hong is located at the east, 30 kilometers far from the district center, and is one of the most difficult communes of Bac Me. The total land area of the commune is 4256,55 ha with 857 households (4299 people). 374 households are poor (43,64%). The commune has 10 hamlets and 8 ethnic minorities living there, mainly Dao, H´Mong and Tay.
Ban Dung hamlet is 8 kilometers far from the communal center, located west, with 1,5 kilometer beton road and 6,5 kilometers land road. The total population is 401 people (77 households). The two ethnic minorities Dao and H´Mong live there. The rate of poor households is 51,95%, or 214 people. Most people live mainly from agriculture, scattered on the mountain side. The socio-economical situation is underdeveloped and the education level is extremely low.
The “school” of Ban Dung belongs to the boarding primary school of Duong hong commune in Bac Me district, about 8 kilometers far from the communal center. It is still quite difficult and dangerous for the teachers and the students as well to reach the school, especially when the tiny trail, 5 kilometers long, is wet in the rainy season. An old downgraded wooden hut had been used for a long time as school, but in the meantime it got too small and no more secure enough for the children. For that reason, two new places have been chosen, dividing the children into 3 classrooms at one place and two other classrooms at another place, one kilometer away. Still, even if there is now more space, the situation is not much better. Both “schools” are made of wooden boards hammered together, there is no door or window, the floor is earthy, sanitary facilities and kitchen are none. Both buildings rather look like cowsheds. There is no teacher´s room. During the week, the teachers have to stay in spare rooms of locals. Because the number of children is increasing and adequate classrooms are missing, the age-based education cannot be guaranteed. During the rainy season and in the winter, many children stay at home instead of going to school.
In the next school year 2018-2019, about 90 pupils are expected, 32 among them are poor. All the children belong to some ethnic minority. They should be divided into 5 classrooms: 1 classroom with kindergarten children, 4 classrooms with primary school pupils. Five teachers are available. Together with the population, the teachers wait yearningly for a central, “real” school. The construction of this new school would bring a direct benefit to 90 children, 5 teachers and 401 people (77 households) of Ban Dung hamlet. Infrastructure would be developed. The children would have a better access to education. The families would be relieved and poverty successfully reduced.
We recognize the urgency of this project and discuss on the spot about the situation. In order to make it financeable, we propose to save costs where it is possible. All parties are willing to join hands: Some land next to the construction site that is needed for this project would be available and donated by the locals. The population, the representatives of the commune and the school staff declare unitedly to destroy the old classrooms by themselves and prepare the ground of the construction site. Their will and hope are immense. We want to help.
As a turnover foundation, the LO-ANH Foundation (LOAN Stiftung) can provide help directly. We would like to carry out this project, but are dependent on every financial donation. We remain optimistic that we will be able to collect the necessary funds.
In cooperation and in continuous contact with our Vietnamese partners, we will as always supervise and guide this project personally and on site. We will report on the progress regularly.
We would be delighted if you were to provide us with moral and financial support in this endeavor. Thank you very much!
Status October, 2018: On October 9th, 2018 the LO-ANH Foundation (LOAN Stiftung) team (Isabelle Müller, Corinna Buchholz) visits (at one’s own expenses and not at the expenses of the foundation) the village of Ban Dung, Duong Hong commune, Bac Me district, Ha Giang province. The construction site is ready. For the joy of all, the LO-ANH Foundation (LOAN Stiftung) will pre-finance this project and sign the according contract on 10.10.2018 in Ha Giang city.
Status January, 2019: On 21st January, 2019 the official groundbreaking ceremony took place. The acceptance of construction work for this project is set on May, 2019. | 2019-04-21T20:53:46 | https://loan-stiftung.de/project-no-19-construction-of-a-primary-school-with-kindergarten-in-ban-dung-duong-hong-commune-bac-me-district-ha-giang-province-north-vietnam?lang=en |

Most men feel more confident with a full head of hair (Bruce Willis aside, perhaps). Sadly, guys also have to deal with hair thinning as we get older. The easiest way to help stop hair thinning is to switch out your shampoo for one that contains DHT blockers. This ingredient safely and effectively reduces the DHT hormone in your scalp, which is one of the most common causes of hair loss. Check out the best shampoos with DHT blockers below.
On the surface level, this shampoo is specifically for dandruff; but it also doubles down on stopping your hair from thinning. This shampoo contains Ketoconazle, which is the active ingredient that rids your hair of DHT, which causes most cases of hair loss. Try this Nizoral shampoo. It’s very highly-rated on Amazon with almost 3,000 reviews, one of which comes from one of our own editors, who can attest to its effectiveness after 10 years of use.
This biotin-infused shampoo from Honeydew blocks hair loss hormones, and also provides a deep, rejuvenating wash. The shampoo contains only natural ingredients, including coconut oil, jojoba oil, and zinc.
This DHT blocking shampoo infused with Argan Oil, Biotin and countless other natural ingredients is a unisex shampoo from Pura D’or. It contains no parabens or harmful chemicals, and features a sweet and relaxing scent that will detoxify your scalp and encourage the growth of strong hair.
Majestic Pure’s DHT blocking shampoo offers a gentle formula that’s great for all hair types – even color treated hair. It’s also completely chemical-free, and as a 16-ounce bottle, you get a pretty good amount of it for just $17.
Hims is a new brand offering effective, no-frills products for gentlemen. One of their best products is this DHT blocking shampoo, which also adds volume by reducing oil and buildup from the scalp. | 2019-04-21T12:29:58 | https://spy.com/2019/style/grooming/best-hair-loss-shampoo-men-dht-blockers-136320/ |
