We need your help to show that balloon and lantern releases aren’t just a moment of fun without consequences later. Balloons sold as “degradable” are known to last a number of months, even years, and pose a choking threat to wildlife at sea, and on land. Balloons, balloon string and sky lanterns leave a permanent hazard. Now, forward-thinking local authorities and businesses are seeing the need to ban releases on their land, and you can add your support for others, too.
Where are they already banned?
Our map shows how many councils have banned either balloons, lanterns or both. There is still a lot of work to do though so please add your voice by pledging your support above.
You can also check our list of Councils with bans to see if yours is on there.
Why not tweet/Facebook your council and encourage your social media networks to do the same? Copy and paste the text below (editing the Twitter name) to tweet your Council and/or write on your Council’s Facebook page. | 2019-04-22T15:29:32 | https://www.mcsuk.org/campaigns/dont-let-go |
Jonah was greatly displeased and became furious.
He prayed to the LORD: “Please, LORD, isn’t this what I thought while I was still in my own country? That’s why I fled toward Tarshish in the first place. I knew that you are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger, abounding in faithful love, and one who relents from sending disaster.
Jonah left the city and found a place east of it. He made himself a shelter there and sat in its shade to see what would happen to the city.
Then the LORD God appointed a plant, and it grew over Jonah to provide shade for his head to rescue him from his trouble.[fn] Jonah was greatly pleased with the plant.
So the LORD said, “You cared about the plant, which you did not labor over and did not grow. It appeared in a night and perished in a night. | 2019-04-24T08:26:31 | https://www.blueletterbible.org/csb/jon/4/ |
Laya - Citizen permanently banned for being awesome, according to her.
The Law proposal was the result of the discussions the Country Presidents had with the Admins. Some people (including the company owner) think that the law proposal was the result of the changes they made to the game, but it actually wasn't. The main reason for which the Presidents decided to propose the Welcome Message was the way a certain admin was negotiating with the presidents. Rude, illogical, dishonest, impolite.
On day 1198 of eRepublik, fair or unfair, Laya died for proposing a New Citizens Message Law.
The first Field Marshal of Iran in Version 3 of eRepublik.
Highest Military rank in Iran while she was alive.
Battle hero on many occasions.
She has also been highly involved in the Military command several times in the past.
Laya was waiting for a long time, to have the chance to enter this Holy Family. After months waiting, In the last day of V1 of eRepublik, the Commander of BlackList Army with an article announced Laya as the smallest member of the greatest army, BlackList .
Laya’s last battle hero medal in v1 of eRepublik, which she killed herself twice in that battle, comes with her beloved friend, the greatest heroine, and the loveliest Princess in the whole world : Axllyne aka BlackList Princess.
Laya Started hitting up to 20,000 damage on the battle, and she fought to 30 wellness, then moved 15 times to 15 places in order to catch 0 wellness. And yes, she did. But after few hours Josh Frost an American tank, who had no idea that Laya killed herself on that battle, started fighting to 24,000 damage. Again, Laya rise up to 100 wellness by using wellness packs and fought again to 30 wellness, and 25,800 damage. And again moved another 15 times to 15 places to catch 0 wellness.
In October 2010 Laya has been elected as The President of Iran - Read more: here.
Iran President for the second time in February 2011, after an early impeachment of alisdghpr.
Minister of Foreign Affairs [MoFA] - Iran- Several times.
Minister of Defense [MoD] - Iran - Several times.
Advisor for Ministry of Defense - Iran - Several times.
Congress member on eight occasions in the past.
Laya came after a few slow governments, She started a new and fresh Ministry of Defense with new look and way more organized that after a long time (after Iran RL government blocked eRepublik.com in Iran) the allies countries started again to count on Iran damage in important battles. She also finished what she first started in her time of being MoFA of Iran in General Reza Administration, she finished the deal with Bulgaria and rented 2 of Iran's regions to Bulgarians. Although Bulgarians profit was way more than what they paid Iran, but the payment was ~10 times more than what Iran, herself would've make out of those regions. In her time of being President of Iran, Greece invaded Turkey and wiped them out from the map. So then Greece was bordering Iran. Laya and her Cabinet organized Iran fighters and tankers for a real battle. Laya herself made more than five Q5 hospitals and three Q5 Defense System in less than 5 days and put them in the region bordering Greece. Although Greece power was way more than Iran's, but Laya bravely published an article in Greece and encouraged them respectfully for a WAR. Iran was completely ready for a WAR, but suddenly Turkey had a Big BabyBoom and became the first country in eWorld ranking and got back all her regions.
Before Laya's Presidency, Iran Economy was broken. prices were unbelievably high and salaries were unbelievably low. Laya tried to bring down the prices as much as possible and grow the salaries. she was successful and Iran were again following the World prices and salaries. She also invented a new Ministry, called Ministry of Health and started helping new players who needed to bring up their health.
It was a ReBirth for Iran with Laya and her young and talented Cabinet Members .
Later, the admin who temporary banned Laya by mistake, apologized.
Well, The everyday bugs. nothing unusual.
Laya owns the newspaper Cloud's from January 2008. The newspaper had over 5000 subscribers. One of the most popular articles was NO MORE TRUST FOR YOU ADMIN, NO MORE TRUST !!!.

International prosecutor Andrew Cayley, (2010 file photo).
A disagreement between the Khmer Rouge tribunal prosecutors over whether more investigation is needed in a controversial case has rekindled worries over whether the UN-backed court will meet its mandate.
Victims of the regime, who were supposed to be well-integrated into the workings of the court, have meanwhile begun complaining more frequently they are dissatisfied with their roles in the court and their treatment by it, threatening the legacy of a tribunal that was initially seen as a model of international justice and reconciliation for mass atrocities like genocide.
International prosecutor Andrew Cayley said in a statement this week the investigating judges for the court need to go back and re-investigate so-called Case 003, which involves two unnamed suspects. He also urged the court to name the suspects publicly and inform them they are under investigation.
His counterpart, Chea Leang, however, said in her own statement this week she did not believe the two suspects ought to be considered “most responsible” for the crimes of the Khmer Rouge and therefore do not fall under the mandate of the court.
The public division between the two prosecutors highlights longstanding splits within the hybrid court, along with accusations of political interference from the prime minister, as victims, lawyers and other observers questioned whether it will be able to perform its functions.
Tribunal officials said Friday the remarks between the prosecutors were nothing more than disagreements over legal matters. Such a disagreement cannot, however, stop a request for further investigation, the officials said.
The tribunal has only tried one suspect, torture chief Duch, and is preparing for a second case, for four jailed leaders. Cases 003 and 004 would require further arrests of five more Khmer Rouge cadre.
“If confirmed, these reports would undermine both the appearance and reality of independence and impartiality, two qualities which are central to the integrity of any court,” he said.
The perception of political interference in the court, which only stood up in 2006 after years of wrangling between the UN and Cambodia, along with reports of corruption, kickbacks and mismanagement, have shaken the faith of some in its ability to independently dispense justice.
The tribunal has been an experimental mix of international and Cambodia staff, prosecutors and judges, hosted in the country where mass atrocity crimes were committed and with an aim of national reconciliation.
Whether those four can be tried is one question. And whether more should be further investigated, indicted and tried is still another.
David Tolbert, a former UN representative to the tribunal, said this week there appeared to be “strong arguments” those suspects in cases 003 and 004 are “most responsible” for the crimes.
“We will see what happens,” he said in an interview.
The court has so far refused to indentify five suspects in those two trials. However, scholars and civil party complainants have named those whom they believe to be most likely: Su Meth, commander of the Khmer Rouge air force; Meas Muth, commander of its navy; Im Chaem, a district chief; Ta An, a regional commander in Kampong Thom province; and Ta Tith, a regional commander in Takeo province.
Contacted by phone Tuesday, Im Chaem, who now lives as a commune leader in the former Khmer Rouge stronghold of Anglong Veng, in Oddar Meanchey province, said she was not concerned about an indictment.
Im Chaem was alluding to concerns that further indictments would stir the long-dormant regime, many of whom folded into the government in 1998 after promises of amnesty for their crimes under the Khmer Rouge.
She said she has never been questioned by anyone from the tribunal, but maintained she had done nothing wrong while during the regime’s rule. “I was commanding, under leadership,” she said.
Meas Muth—who retired only a year ago with the rank of major general, as an adviser to the Ministry of Defense—also warned of instability, were he to be arrested and brought to trial by the court. Former subordinates would rise up, he said, including those who are currently soldiers along the border, where Cambodia is currently undergoing a military standoff with Thailand.
He too denied any personal responsibility for the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, saying he had “struggled” for preservation of the nation.
Such positions by former Khmer Rouge highlight the concerns for the Cambodian government, said Hang Chhaya, executive director of the Khmer Institute for Democracy.
Victims of the Khmer Rouge, meanwhile, are growing increasingly disillusioned with the court.
In its first guilty verdict, the court sentenced Kaing Kek Iev, the Tuol Sleng prison chief better known as Duch, to a commuted 19 years in prison. It offered little in the way of reconciliation, putting the names of only some of his victims on the court’s website and offering copies of Duch’s testimony to the public.
Many people whose family members were among more than 12,000 tortured at the prison and later executed, and handful of survivors, were not happy with the seemingly light sentence and meager compensation.
Disillusionment has only grown, as tribunal officials have further limited participation of civil parties in court proceedings.
On Thursday, Seng Theary, a US-based lawyer who has emerged as a leader of victim participants and a vocal critic of the court, called for the dismissal of several top tribunal officials.
In a public statement, she called for the UN’s top representative at the court, Knut Rosandhaug, and its investigating judge, Siegfried Blunk, to resign because they had failed to adequately include civil participants.
That followed a court announcement on April 29 that investigating judges had “concluded” their investigation into Case 003, which procedurally should have given 15 days to prosecutors and civil parties to review the case and request further investigation.
However, because defendants in that case have not been publicly named, civil party lawyers said they could not properly engage in the proceedings.
Tolbert, the former UN representative who now heads the International Center for Transitional Justice, said the victims’ needs had been mishandled. It would be a “travesty,” he said, if the victims were limited in their participation by such an approach.
Cayley, the international prosecutor, has requested an extension for victims to file for the upcoming cases by six weeks, but even that falls short, said Nou Leakhena, who has helped gather US-Cambodian victims for participation in the trial.
Meanwhile, she said the Cayley and Chea Leang are supposed to be representing victims against the defendants, not arguing publicly.
Added together, there is lingering doubt among some tribunal observers that cases 003 and 004 will come to a conclusion, which would mean the court, after many years and millions of dollars, would have only tried five people at most.
Some issues were not coming from the government or Cambodian side, he said, “but from the internationals directly.” He did not elaborate.
Issues that should have been solved long ago are coming to the fore, he said, at “the last minute,” which threatened the proceedings for cases 002, 003 and 004.

In all of history, there have only been five perfect nature documentaries. This… is the sixth!
Seriously, though, One Strange Rock only took about half an episode to become my all-time favorite.
It is narrated by Will Smith and it is the story of these American Astronauts who learned some amazing things about the ecology of Earth by leaving it to get a different perspective on it.
It’s on Netflix right now and it is totally binge-worthy! | 2019-04-21T11:05:39 | https://roamingparkers.com/2019/02/17/one-strange-rock/?shared=email&msg=fail |

2) 90% of homeless runaways come from a fatherless home.
3) 70% of all juveniles in state reform schools come from a fatherless home.
4) 85% of imprisoned youth grew up in a fatherless home.
5) 43% of adult inmates grew up in a single parent home - generally without a dad.
6 80% of rapists come from fatherless homes.
10) 95% of men on death row HATED their fathers.
2) 90% of girls with anorexia (nervosa) lack a close relationship with their father.
On one hand, the stats may vary. However, the pattern is consistent! In other words, kids growing up in a home with the father present have a distinct advantage!!
They are less likely to live in poverty, abuse drugs and alcohol, do jail time, be sexually active as teens, even be obese!!
When a child is the 1st. to convert, the family will convert 4% of the time.
When mom is the 1st, the family will convert 17% of the time.
When dad is 1st, the family will convert 93% of the time!
If only mom attends church, 30% of children will attend as adults.

Rule 1 An equal quantity may be added to, (or subtracted from) both sides of an inequality without changing the inequality.
Rule 2 An equal positive quantity may multiply (or divide) both sides of an inequality without changing the inequality.
Rule 3 If both sides of an inequality are multiplied (or divided) by a negative quantity then the inequality is reversed .
N.B. It is very important to be careful with the last rule.
Before looking at the solution of inequalities it is useful to see why the above rules hold. This is done in the following example.
(d) by multiplying both sides by - 3.
(a) Adding 3 to both sides gives 7 > 2, which is also true.
(b) Subtracting 3 from both sides gives 4 - 3 > - 1 - 3 or 1 > - 4, which is also true.
(c) Multiplying both sides by 3 gives 12 > -3, which is also true.
4 × (-3) < (-1) ×(-3), or -12 < 3, which is correct.
(a) x - 3 > 5, (b) 2x - 1 > 7, (c) 3 - 2x > -5.
x < 4, rule 3 has reversed the inequality!
Here are some exercises on solving inequalities.
Solve each of the following inequalities using the rules given in section 2.
(d) In this case the brackets must first be removed using the standard rules.
Now try this short quiz.
Which of the following is the solution to the inequality 15 - x > 7 + x ?
The first step in this solution was adding x to both sides so that (the positive) 2x appears on the right. This meant that the subsequent division was by the positive number 2. Division by positive numbers is always preferable as it generally leads to fewer mistakes. | 2019-04-19T17:29:30 | https://mathisradical.com/solving-inequalities.html |
Home > Software Development, vSphere API > vSphere APIs for Guest Operating System Management: What’s Special and When to Use It?
After reading these posts, you may wonder (at least, I did): Why should we use these guest operating system related APIs? Can’t we simply use well-known alternatives like HTTP to download/upload files, SSH/WMI to run programs, etc.? To some extents, you are right but not exactly.
For one thing, all these remote manageability to a guest operating system requires network connection to the guest OS. With vSphere APIs, it doesn’t. All you must have is networking connection to the ESXi on which the guest operating system is running. I think this is the biggest uniqueness of this APIs.
This does not mean you don’t need remote manageability. In fact, you do. The question is really when you should use which.
To answer the question, you have to first consider the accessibility of the management network to the ESXi. In general, this is a separate network dedicated for management, nothing else as a best practice. This limitation actually excludes lots of use cases already. It basically suggests that you use vSphere API only in management applications which can access management network.
The second consideration is the performance. In general, I felt, without apple to apple comparison, that the vSphere API is slow especially when moving files from and to a guest operating system. I think it’s in part due to the fact that ESXi is a middleman in between.
To sum up, the guest management APIs via vSphere is not meant to be used as a general approach for communicating with a guest operating system. Only these management applications with ESXi access should use these APIs. For other general purpose communications like download files, use whatever existing protocols/APIs out there as would you work with an operating system running directly on a physical machine.
Hi Steve, thanks for the great work on the APIs!
It seems the APIs allow a great deal of new modify access to the guest OS from vCenter – how does VMware intend to address this?
I’d suggest ideally there would be a decentralized (secure) sudoers list of allowed guest operations to mitigate a vcenter compromise.
I now see your comment! Thanks for reminding me on Twitter and trying it again!
To gain access to an OS, you will need credential as would you log in the OS directly. I think you raised a good point to use sodo for better auditing.
I like the VI Java API.
I would like to use this “vSphere APIs for Guest Operating System managment” too.
Do you have plans to share its source code ?
but it have a issue.
it always throw GuestPermissionDenied exception.
are u have any idea?
Hi lihlcnkr, interesting issue. what if you re-login? just wonder if you can work this around.
after hot adding nic device, guest OS API is not working again.
and after hot adding nic device, I try to use vSphere upgrade GuestOS VM tool , but it fail.
So, it looks when hot adding nic device, GuestOS VM tool is not working well.
I Tested it win 2003 and win 2008 server R2, It’s same result.
Let’s try to understand what you found out. After hot adding NIC to a VM running Windows 2003 and Windows 2008 SR2, the guest OS API stops working correctly with GuestPermissionDenied exception even after you re-logining, restarting guest OS, reset VM. Am I right?
Also, how about after removing the hot added NIC? I know it’s probably not acceptable in your case, but I am curious what would happen. What version of VMware Tools did you use? Had you upgrade the VMware Toosl before you hot adding NIC?
Yes, It’s just you say.
and after removing the hot added NIC, it also happen.
before hot adding NIC device, I upgraded the VMware Toosl.
Thanks Lihlcnkr, as you pointed out earlier, it’s mostly an issue with VMware Tools which carries real executions. You may want to contact VMware support on this issue. I believe part of VMware Tools is open sourced somewhere (search it), you also take a look there. But I wouldn’t recommend that unless you are really familiar with low level programming. Even so it’s still a lot of work.
I contacted VMware support team, but they said for technical support, it need technical support license, it very expensive@@. and without support team, it can’t report bug directly.
Tech support license needed to file a bug with VMware? It doesn’t make senese to me. Maybe for a solution but not for filing a bug. Can you ask around on Twitter and cc me there? Thanks!
I posted on twitter and vmware community.
And I tested it again using vSphere powerCLI, and result is same.
and I Installed open source vmware tool(open-vm-tools) on linux, and tested it.
but looks open-vm-tools not working well with guest OS API. | 2019-04-26T04:00:39 | http://www.doublecloud.org/2012/03/vsphere-apis-for-guest-operating-system-management-what%E2%80%99s-special-and-when-to-use-it/ |
Def Leppard played a show on the Rock Of Ages tour in Rochester, NY on 10th July 2005 and a fan review was sent in by Janeen.
The show took place at the Frontier Field. Three other fan reviews are available from this show.
"I won a soundcheck auction through Raven Drum, that was not only to include soundcheck, but to meet Rick Allen and have early entry to the stadium. Soundcheck didn't happen, but only because at this point of the tour they really didn't need it - so we were told, and after seeing them perform, that was dead on - they didn't need any practice for any reason." | 2019-04-20T02:26:22 | http://deflepparduk.com/2013newsjul74.html |

China's premier promised foreign companies equal treatment with Chinese rivals, in Beijing's most high-profile effort yet to quell complaints it is trying to squeeze foreign competitors out of its markets.
"We will endeavor to create a level playing field for all market players, foreign and Chinese enterprises alike," Premier Wen Jiabao said at a news conference with European Union President Jose Manuel Barroso.
China has faced repeated complaints in recent months that technology and other policy are being used to promote its companies at the expense of foreign rivals in violation of the spirit of its free-trading commitments.
It is unusual for such a senior Chinese leader to respond to complaints by foreign companies, and Wen's remarks indicated the importance Beijing attaches to placating investors that are supplying technology and skills to develop its economy.
The premier repeated Beijing's promise that foreign companies with operations in China would be treated equally under a new policy to promote Chinese innovation by favoring locally developed products in government procurement. The announcement of the "indigenous innovation" policy in November prompted an outcry by foreign companies and governments, which called it protectionist. Beijing backed down this month and said it would make it easier for foreign companies to qualify as suppliers.
"The policy that is designed to encourage indigenous innovation will treat all enterprises that operate on Chinese soil as equals," Wen said. "It will not exclude foreign enterprises."
Beijing has been promoting development of its technology industries and pressing foreign companies to transfer know-how to China. But the foreign outcry appears to have fueled official concern that companies might cut back technology development in China.
After the news conference, Wen and Barroso met with two dozen managers of major European companies including Volkswagen AG, Nokia Corp. and French oil giant Total SA. He was joined by China's finance, technology and industry ministers and the chairman of its planning agency, which Wen said showed how seriously the government took the matter.
The premier smiled politely as executives repeated companies' concerns, including about rules due to take effect on May 1 that require suppliers to disclose how computer security technology works if they want to sell it to the government. Companies worry that trade secrets might be leaked to Chinese competitors, and the United States and Europe have called on Beijing to scrap the measure.
Wen said Beijing wants to work closely with foreign companies, though he did not comment on the technology disclosure demand or say it might be changed or postponed.
"We are going to create more favorable conditions for foreign investors to make investments in China," the premier said. "We will not change our commitment to pursuing an 'opening up' policy."
Responding to a comment by a Nokia manager about China's Web controls, Wen said the communist government "pursues an open approach with regard to development of the Internet" and gave no indication that online censorship might change.
The American Chamber of Commerce in China, in a report this week, expressed concern the government was slowing market-oriented reforms and is using regulations to close access to previously open segments of its economy. The group said conditions have worsened over the past two years. It said foreign companies face unequal enforcement of environmental rules, patent and other rules.
"We see many actions in the area of innovation, in other areas of industrial policy, which suggest to us that in the future in a number of areas, the market opportunity will begin to get narrower," the chamber president, Christian Murck, said. | 2019-04-24T18:35:35 | https://www.industryweek.com/software-amp-systems/china-vows-fairness-foreign-companies |

Rice crispies are one of the easier stoner treats to make. Start by greasing the 9×13 tray/pan with butter, you could use normal butter here as this is just to prevent the rice crispies from sticking once they’re set.
Next begin by melting the canna butter in the sauce pan. Be sure to stir regularly and keep to a low heat, to prevent the butter burning. Once melted add the marshmallows, continue stirring until they are all melted as well.
Next to give the rice crispies their crispiness, add the Kellogg’s Rice Krispy’s. Add them gradually while stirring and make sure they all covered evenly.
Now the only thing that remains to do is to put the rice crispies into the already greased tray. Press them down to compact them. This should help them set and stay in one piece when you take them out. They can be left to set at room temperature or in the fridge. Once they’re set its just a case of taking them out and cutting into pieces. There you have it, rice crispies as god intended! | 2019-04-24T14:48:51 | https://whiterhinoclothing.co.uk/rice-crispies-2/ |

Dalit leader Prakash Ambedkar lambasted the BJP-led Maharashtra Government saying if it does not act against those guilty of the Pune violence, “no one will be able to stop Hafiz Saeeds from being born among the Hindus”.
Ambedkar, who is the grandson of Indian Constitution’s architect B.R. Ambedkar and had called Wednesday’s Maharashtra shutdown against caste violence on January 1, accused the Maharashtra Police of tormenting the victims instead of acting against the perpetrators of the violence.
He alleged this was being done at the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh’s behest. Calling for a social democracy, he asked all deprived and backward sections to unite for securing their rights.
Expelled Janata Dal-United leader Sharad Yadav, who also attended the rally, said the condition of the country was alarming and urged the low caste to unitedly take on the fundamentalists.
“The question is aren’t low castes Hindu too? Why should Hindu fundamentalists attack them,” he asked, adding that when the regime supports the guilty, who can hold them accountable.
“That is why I say the situation in the country is alarming.” Many other opposition leaders, including Congress state President Arun Yadav, were at the rally.

The Bolsheviks came to power in October 1917 promising to build socialism. All factions within the party and its followers agreed with this; but what was socialism and how did you build it? This lecture will look at the debates within the party on this question before and during the revolution and the Civil War. It will concentrate on the ideas of Lenin and those of the so-called Left Bolsheviks, chiefly Bogdanov, Lunacharsky and Kollantai, and will examine the differences between them over what socialism entailed and the methods to be used for achieving it.

Intended as introduction/prologue to a three-part magnum opus, The Recluse or views of Nature, Man, and Society.
"On Man, on Nature, on human Life, / Musing in Solitude" ("Prospectus" / "Home at Grasmere" 959-60).
"If WW had finished the project as planned, The Recluse would have totalled about 33,000 lines (Paradise Lost is only 10,500)" (Mandell--see source ).
In the Preface to The Excursion, WW "likened the design implicit in all his writings to the structural plan of a 'gothic church,' in which the 'preparatory poem' we now call The Prelude [a name given the work by his widow after his death] is 'the ante-chapel,' the tripartite Recluse is 'the body,' and all his 'minor Pieces,' when 'properly arranged,' are equivalent to 'little cells, oratories, and sepulchral recesses, ordinarily included in those edifices'" (Abrams 20).
Thus, WW "envisaged all his poems as one immense work, a poem made up of poems, written in accordance with a single comprehensive design" (Abrams 20).
"Frenchmen had changed a war of self-defense / For one of conquest, losing sight of all / Which they had struggled for" (10.792-94).
Leads to tremendous disillusionment for WW.
Godwinian rationalism offers temporary alternative, but lacks emotional foundation.
Dorothy WW, STC, help him return to the restorative "bosom" of Nature. | 2019-04-22T10:56:17 | http://l-adam-mekler.com/preludenotes.htm |

Old habits die hard. Some Filipinos have, since their age of reason, embraced the practice of obtaining loans to make both ends meet. Some of them have become accustomed to the “5-6” lending scheme like it’s an unwritten way of life.
Back home, President Duterte has recently ordered a crackdown against “5-6” usurers, saying the practice only further worsens the plight of the poor. “Five-six” because you keep paying more in interest, which ranges from eight to 15 percent a month, while the principal amount borrowed remains unpaid.
Here in the UAE, the situation is no less different, only that the lenders include Filipinos as well.
And it works like this, as loan shark victims interviewed by The FilipinoTimes said: borrow Dh2,000 for instance and you get Dh1,800 because the lender has deducted the 10 percent interest for the first month’s payment.
Second month comes and you pay Dh2,200 – why? Because you only paid the interest for your first month’s payment and so you have Dh2,000 plus the 10 percent interest for the second month.
Now should you opt to pay off on the interest alone for the second month, you’d need to cough up Dh2,400 for your third month’s payment – and the cycle continues till you realize you’ve totaled Dh2,000 on interest alone but the Dh2,000 principal amount you borrowed remains the same.
Other victims, also speaking on condition of anonymity, said it depends on the arrangement with the loan shark. “Yung iba, you have a certain payment schedule, say six months and that’s it,” said Anna Arrozelis, a registered nurse.
She once borrowed Dh5,000 on condition that she pays back Dh6,000 in six months or Dh1,000 a month instead of just a little over Dh800.
Research done by The Filipino Times showed that a handful of OFWs in the lower income bracket are inclined to borrow from a usurer but only as a last resort.
Reasons for borrowing include getting money to help a relative with visa run expenses or a kin back home going through dire straits.
Being an underground activity in the UAE’s informal economic sector, it is quite difficult to gauge the extent of the practice. But it’s widely believed loansharking is so rampant that one OFW in every shared flat unit is paying off a debt through this arrangement.
“We get a minimum of 10 OFWs a month asking us for advice,” Atty. Barney Almazar, director at Gulf Law, told The Filipino Times.
“Despite being illegal, there are thousands of loan shark victims in the country and the number keeps on growing as people in need of cash flock into this underground loan market,” said the 999 report.
“This being an illegal market, no official figures are available but it is estimated that tens of millions of dirhams are in circulation in this business,” it added.
As it is back home, OFWs in the UAE resort to loan sharks because they have no access to lending institutions or are already blacklisted, which is why usurers require passports. “They (debtors) have nothing to offer as collateral,” Almazar explained.
Banks ask for a salary certificate, a three-month bank statement, a copy of their passport with a UAE visa page, and other paperwork like employment certificate.
• Report the matter to the police as this is a criminal act as the law says.
• Refuse to pay interest, based on previous cases, loan sharks back off once they realize the victim is serious with legal proceedings. Lawyers would send demand letter to loan sharks stating their violations, according to Atty. Barney Almazar, director at Gulf Law. “If they continue to collect, our client will proceed legally. The loan sharks return the passport. But it’s not easy. They will not just give up,” he said.
UAE law is very clear that it is illegal to lend money with interest. Among guiding principles to this is that allowing such practice would adversely impact economic activity. For one, interest concentrates wealth to a few; another is that it causes overconsumption where people borrow against future earnings.
Article 714 of the UAE Civil Transactions Law.
“Interest earned is an unjust income and therefore not payable.” Only banks and financial institutions can charge interest.
An individual who imposes unreasonably high interest rates faces a jail term of at least three months and a fine of at least Dh2,000.
Pawning a passport is an offense that carries a jail sentence of up to three years or a fine of up to Dh2,000, as stated under a decree issued by the UAE Ministry of Interior on Dec. 25, 2002.
Who are the common victims?
Loan shark activities are not limited to Filipinos.
As 999, the official English monthly of the UAE Ministry of the Interior, has reported in previous editions, the UAE loan shark community has a “macabre” name: blade mafia – referring to the cut-throat interest rate imposed and the actual use of a bladed weapon to demand payment.
There have been several reports about victims of the blade mafia – mostly Indian nationals – expressing dire concern over the safety of their loved ones back home, at times even contemplating suicide. | 2019-04-24T19:59:08 | http://gulflaw.info/pages/index.php?id=455&&tittle=Gulf%20Law%20at%20The%20Filipino%20Times%2019%20February%202017&&linkhref=fillup |

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Treasury prices extended their pullback Tuesday, propelling the government debt market to its fourth day of losses in five sessions, after data showed service-sector companies expanded at a faster rate in October.
The Institute for Supply Management said its nonmanufacturing survey of purchasing manufacturers rose to a 55.4% reading last month from 54.4% in September, beating economist expectations of a 54% reading. A result over 50% indicates expansion.
The 10-year note US:10_YEAR yield rose 5.5 basis points on the day to 2.660%, up roughly 15 basis points from last week to its highest level since mid-October. The 30-year bond US:30_YEAR yield rose 5.5 basis points to 3.753%, while the 5-year note US:5_YEAR yield rose 2 basis points to 1.380%.
“When we saw the ISM manufacturing [on Friday] and nonmanufacturing both being stronger than expectations and better than the previous, it really called into question the thesis that the government shutdown shook confidence,” said Tom Graff, fixed-income portfolio manager at Brown Advisory.
Treasurys have given up some gains that followed a Federal Reserve decision not to scale back its bond-buying program in September as the market continues to seek clarity on a time frame for when the central bank will begin to edge out of its $85 billion in monthly purchases. Though many had homed in on expectations of a pullback in the spring of 2014, some market participants have moved forward their expectations for timing and speed after the Federal Reserve’s policy statement last week sounded a less dovish tone than expected.
“I think the expectation was for something overly dovish, and I think it came out in the middle-of-the-road,” said Boris Rjavinski, rates and rate derivatives strategist at UBS.
As investors look for clarity about how the Fed may edge out of its monthly bond buys, it will look to an October nonfarm payrolls report on Friday, which the central bank uses as an assessment of the labor market. The data, however, may be skewed by the federal government shutdown last month.
Home prices rose in September rose at the fastest annual pace since early 2006. According to data released by CoreLogic Tuesday, home prices rose 0.2% in September as the annual pace hit 12%.
Fed speakers in recent days have taken to the podium to give their outlooks on monetary policy. Despite a range of opinions, some central bankers seem to have become less dovish in their appearances, perhaps in an attempt to help guide the markets, according to Rjavinski.
“I think if you try to parse the Fed-speak lately, what you may seen is that they’ve gotten more careful about how they communicate their intentions to the market,” he said.
Eric Rosengren, the president of the Boston Fed Bank, said Tuesday that economic growth in the second half of the year is shaping up to be “substantially slower than I want to see.” Rosengren, who is a voting member of the policy committee this year, said late Monday that delaying the so-called taper of the Fed’s bond-purchase program would not substantially alter the Fed’s balance sheet.
Richmond Fed President Jeffrey Lacker spoke in the afternoon but didn’t touch on monetary policy. Eastern and San Francisco Fed President John Williams speaks at 5 p.m. Eastern time. Neither are voting members. | 2019-04-25T22:40:37 | https://www.marketwatch.com/story/treasurys-slip-ahead-of-non-manufacturing-data-2013-11-05/print |

I recently painted a Nubian Christian DBA army for my chum Dennis in exchange for this Abysinnian DBA army, mostly Essex I think. The Elephant General is an interesting element to play, it's vulnerable to quick kill by lights, but I used it very aggessively thinking that he's stompy as hell but hard to kill, so just give'r and let the chips fall! Fun army to play, need to be aggressive I reckon, with ample warbands and Jumbo needing overlaps and decent match-ups to ensure they make the most of their q-killing ability.
First 2 games against Nubians were close wins.
Here are some more 10mm Romans, this time we have Marian legionnaires in lorica squamata and some archers. I use the red shields to designate these as heavy or veteran infantry for CCA, blue shields will be medium, and I use some green in the archers, slingers and javelinmen to designate them as lights.
In between Napoleonics and 10mm ancients, I am working on a WW2 post-Normandy scenario for Fireball Forward using some Valiant 1/72 figs I picked up this spring. I like these figures, despite that they are an odd size, larger than 20mm and smaller than 25/28mm. These are the Canadian forces for the St. Lambert scenario around the Falaise Gap representing elements of the Argylls (The Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders of Canada).
Some more 10mm Romans as I work towards a couple of Civil War CCA scenarios between Julius Caesar and Pompey. | 2019-04-21T22:59:24 | http://davesgamingplace.blogspot.com/2013/06/ |

The other day, I was doing the homework for my Crystal Awakenings 102 class. This involved working with a particular crystal for one week, meditating with it, carrying it with me everywhere, and noting how it speaks to me.
I was doing a meditation that involved lying on the floor on my back, holding the crystal in my left hand, and listening to a recording of shamanic drumming, all while letting my mind fly free. Well, it was a little chilly, so I covered myself in a blanket, lay down and began.
As I settled into the meditation, my cat, Willow, came wandering into my office. She was surprised, rightly so, to see me in her turf, namely lying on the floor. So she put her nose in my face, meowed, had a good sniff at my eye lid.
At this point I was still able to hold my meditative detachment.
Then, as she loves my blanket (and me, of course) she climbed up on my stomach, sat there, and started kneading me, as cats do. I have to admit, I lost concentration at that point and started to laugh. It occurred to me, what would someone think if they walked in on this scene…a woman clutching a rose quartz crystal, lying on the floor, being kneaded by a cat on her stomach all to the sound of drumming.
All hilarity aside, I am finding this course of meditation very enriching, and I find it has had an effect on how I read my Tarot cards, how deeply I am able to tap into my intuition. So, here are my five basic must-do’s when it comes to starting a practice of meditation.
1. Set aside the time you need, and give yourself permission to take this time.
If you are worrying about all you have to do, thinking about what you should be doing instead of meditating, you’re probably not going to be able to settle into the practice, let alone sit still for more than 5 minutes. Make meditation a priority, set aside the amount of time that you feel comfortable with, and just do it. Let your mind know that you haven’t forgotten about everything, you’re just taking some time off, and you’ll return to your other tasks once you’re finished.
2. Rid yourself of all distractions.
I have to be a little strict with this, it’s not easy for me to do. Close the door, turn off your phone, close Facebook or any other attention demanding or distracting social media. Let any other people (or cats) in your home know that you’re unavailable for the next x-number of minutes. Chances are, they’ll be able to figure things out and survive on their own for a little while!
Clear away the clutter, make sure you have enough room to feel comfortable. Do something to set the scene…light a candle, burn some incense, listen to nature sounds, whatever works for you. Lift yourself out of the mundane, create a sacred space.
4. Try guided meditation if you are having trouble getting started.
There are lots of great guided meditations out there, often available for free on YouTube, that can help you when you’re just starting a practice. Listening to a soothing voice leading you through the meditation can take the pressure off, and help to keep your mind on what you’re doing.
5. Be consistent, set a schedule and goal for yourself.
I found it made a real difference when I had accountability in my practice. In the Crystal Awakenings course, we have homework, a process and a schedule that we are expected to follow. This structure kept me on track, more so than when I was doing it on my own. Go for consistency, set up a realistic schedule, and hold yourself to it.
I know, it’s not easy to put aside the time to meditate. In a busy world, where people depend on us and we have a lot of responsibilities, it can almost feel self-indulgent to take some quiet time just for ourselves. Let that feeling go. By meditating, you are taking time to care for yourself, to heal yourself and make yourself stronger. If you do this, you will be in a much better position to care for those around you.
Have you tried meditating? If so, how does it make a difference in your life? Can you make any recommendations or offer any helpful tips?
Do you have a particular issue or situation on your mind…are you looking for deep insight into your relationship, career goals, finances, love life, life purpose…or would you just like to hear the message that the universe has for you at this time in your life?

The Pig Pen is the casual reataurant counterpart of The Black Pig located in Alabang. Chef Carlos Garcia, Tricia Villacorta-Macdonald and Berna Fajardo-Garriz, created its cafe concept and opened the pilot store at Solenad 3, Nuvali, Sta. Rosa, Laguna in December 2015. You may dine indoors or outdoors.
To date, they put up another branch at the Eton Tower in Ruffino Makati to cater to people craving for their popular European-inspired food.
This Laguna casual dining cafe boasts a variety of scrumptious dishes with popular twists prepared from natural, locally sourced ingredients. I've been to this restaurant in a previous zomato foodcrawl and The Pig Pen continues on to amaze me with its bestsellers!
European Salad came in first. It was a healthy assortment of green lettuce,with black olives, parmesan, red radish, cucumber, croutons, feta drizzled plus honey mustard sauce as dressing.
We had Beef Papadum Nachos to perk up the appetite. Papadum is that thin, crisp, disc-shaped Indian flatbread which they used as substitute for tortilla chips.
The extra crunchy papadum came in topped with parsley, beef, tomatoes, honey mustard and mayo! It tasted really good!
My next favorite was Crispy Pork Kimchi. This rice bowl looked so appetizing with a play on colors that complemented each ingredient. The crunchy, lean pork cuts was served with shredded crispy onion flakes and boiled egg. The tangy and sweet sauce similar to Sriracha further made the crunchy pork taste and smell like haven. All the flavors really do mix well.
Grilled Tamarind Chicken were perfectly-cooked chicken skewers that were so addicting! Each piece of meat was so succulent that you can really tell how good the meat used was.
Beef Shank, Mushroom and Bone marrow on the other hand, combines the rich flavor of the bone marrow, mushrooms and the prime beef cut. It was like sinking my teeth into a premium corned beef brand.
I found the Crispy Pork and Hoisin so interesting. In this delectable dish, the moist pork belly was wrapped in shoestring potatoes, which gave it an extra crispy texture. The pork belly inside the crust remained tender and juicy.
We also got to try out their chorizo all-day breakfast plate. The savory chorizo came in with dried dilis and sunny-side egg. I love the papaya-mango salad side dish that goes with it.
The Pig Pen Café also has a selection of pasta dishes and I got to try them all. Pulled pork Cannelloni was fresh take on creamy cylindrical pasta that is stuffed with pork. I so love the cheesy white, Carbonara sauce that goes with it.
Mushroom Truffle Pasta was served straight up with sliced mushrooms, and ham bits spread on top to complement flavors.
Bolognese was a true Italian classic spaghetti. Filipino kids would love to indulge in its subtle sweet tomato sauce.
The Pig Pen Café is a great hangout for those big appetites or those looking for new food discoveries. I recommend that you visit this restaurant when you are in Nuvali. | 2019-04-21T18:49:41 | http://millette.sison.me/2018/01/rendezvous-at-pig-pen.html |
In October 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a huge expansion of Regulation C, the regulation that implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. Lenders must be prepared to implement the additional reporting requirements on January 1, 2018. They cannot afford to wait. The changes require wholesale re-tooling of the HMDA infrastructure, including measures to effectuate the amendments 48 data points and 85 data fields that dwarf the existing mandatory 13 data points and 35 data fields. (The material in this book also appears in Chapter 1.2 of Mortgage Lending Compliance with Federal and State Guidance (LexisNexis Sheshunoff)).
In October 2015, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau issued a huge expansion of Regulation C, the regulation that implements the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. The revision changes the types of institutions subject to Regulation C, the types of transactions subject to Regulation C, and the processes for collecting, reporting, and disclosing data.
The regulatory issuances include the actual regulation, commentary on the regulation, a lengthy preamble explaining changes made to the regulation, and subsequent agency guidance contained in summaries, charts, tables, and examination procedures.
2018 Home Mortgage Disclosure Act Manual gathers all this material into one cohesive package so a reader does not have to approach the subject from the disjointed perspective of many sources. The book includes a redlined version of Regulation C (see Appendix A of this book), which highlights each change.
Many charts, tables, and lists illustrate the text to draw attention to changes, summarize differences, and bring into this package material from other sources cross-referenced by Regulation C (such as relevant Regulation Z provisions). The exhibits include an implementation checklist (Exhibit 11) and examination procedures (Exhibit 9) adapted from the existing agency HMDA examination procedures.

TICKETS for the celebration of our cherished 1968 FA Cup triumph have now sold out.
Over 200 Baggies fans will be at The Hawthorns on Saturday, May 19 to relive the joy of '68 with those who won the famous competition, 50 years on.
Adrian Chiles will host the evening of entertainment, with fans enjoying a three-course meal alongside their heroes.
And cup-winning skipper Graham Williams can't wait to celebrate a "golden time" for the Albion with supporters.
"Fifty years is a special anniversary of a golden time in all our lives and this is perhaps the last time that all of us will be together again," he said.
"What will make it more special will be the chance to celebrate that great day one last time with the supporters, so it will be great to see plenty of fans at the dinner." | 2019-04-24T02:43:41 | https://www.wba.co.uk/news/2018/march/68-dinner-sold-out/ |
Rib roast is one of the most popular delicacies in Europe and America. The time required to cook it varies according to individual taste and cooking methods. The two main methods are low temperature-long time and high temperature-short time. Both these approaches have their distinct advantages.
Rib roast is basically any recipe that involves the roasting of any type of rib portion of meats such as beef, pork, lamb, and even deer. Some of the popular variants include pork, short, prime, and boneless ribs. These can be grilled, roasted, baked, and even smoked. In the North American cuisine, they are usually roasted or grilled, and served with barbecue sauce. At times, restaurants serve them as an entire rack of meat that has been grilled or roasted for 10 to 12 hours. Such a type of cooking is extremely popular, as longer cooking time makes the meat extremely tender and delicious. You can try out this recipe at home if you have a good oven. It is better to try it out in winter, as the prolonged cooking brings out a lot of heat in the kitchen. You will also need a big rib piece for this purpose.
Many people have a misconception that rib roast is only made from beef. However, it can be made from a variety of meats such as lamb, pork, and deer, though deer hunting is banned in many countries across the world.
The cooking time for a pork rib roast depends on the amount of meat that you are using. The spare ribs that weigh about 3 lbs (16 ounces) would require about 2½ hours to get properly roasted at a temperature of about 170 °F. It is important that the temperature inside the pork exceed 170 °F, as the fats get cooked properly at this temperature. In addition to that, the germs that might be present inside the meat also get killed. Boneless roast requires about half an hour or less to get cooked. It depends on the recipe.
Lamb rib is used in a variety of different recipes. The most famous is the Irish lamb stew. At 325 °F, it needs about 2 hours to get roasted for a preparation of 4 servings. A normal one would require about 2 hours of roasting. The internal temperature of the lamb is very important.
In the United States, rib roast is usually made from the beef. This kind of meat is known as prime or standing rib. The following is a small classification of the proportions and timings that you can follow in order to roast a particular number of ribs.
Keeping the ribs in the oven for the perfect amount of time is important, as roasting is all about spreading the heat properly and accurately throughout the meat. While making rare ribs, all you need to do is reduce the temperature. However, you must remember that the cooking time for convection ovens should be followed according to the recipe. | 2019-04-21T14:15:48 | https://tastessence.com/rib-roast-cooking-time |

Keough Effigy Mounds is an amazing archaeological and natural site situated just outside Galena, IL and situated along the backwaters of the Mississippi River. The site features rugged hiking trails that bring visitors to the amazing cultural features found on the property. The site includes early lead mine diggings and Native American mounds, including the prize feature of the site, the only intact bear effigy mound in the state of Illinois. The mounds are from the late woodland time period, approximatley 700-900 A.D. In addition the site features excellent birding opportunities due to its proximity to the Mississippi River and the sourrounding woodland acreage. | 2019-04-25T20:26:09 | http://rivers2ridges.com/recreation_sites.cfm?locID=40 |
Over 31 years ago, I spent my first tropical Christmas in Hawaii. Was totally expecting it to be a really weird,bummer time, not like Christmas at all. Needless to say, I was not a happy camper. (might have even been a little whiney). My first time away from the cold rainy Pacific Northwest and away from family during the holidays.
Where could we possibly find a Christmas tree in Hawaii? We didn't even have ornaments! (or any money) A wreath? So weird to be wearing shorts and t-shirts.. what do you do when it's 80 degrees and sunshining in the winter?
Our tree that year, turned out to be rather magical with a little help from my mom and dad. My grandma Johnnie had a Christmas tree farm in her back "40". Every year after my brother Jeff, and I were old enough, we spent our December weekends helping customers at her farm cut down their own Christmas trees. Believe it or not, I got to be pretty handy down in the dirt with a tree saw! I can't even begin to count the weekends spent cold, muddy and soaked through after tramping around (sometimes for quite awhile) in between wet Douglas Fir, Noble Fir and Blue Spruce trees. It was all worth it though, to hang out in the kitchen with my grandma telling stories and drinking hot chocolate. Oh, and we may have consumed some Christmas cookies too!
So, I digress... My dad must have felt pretty sorry for me (I was a more than a little pathetic), and he and my mom came up with a plan to get a tree to me in Hawaii. I have always loved the smell and the gorgeous colors of blue spruce trees. Dad went to grandma's and found a fatty, round one and cut it down. Somehow between all of them, (there might have been cocktails involved) they figured out how to squish it, wrap the bottom in wet paper towels and a plastic bag. Then the whole thing went into a constructed lop-sided cardboard box. With about 5 pounds of packing tape!
Took five or six days to get to us, but made it perfectly in one piece! My mom was so sweet, making a bunch of cute reindeer and Santa ornaments and sending them along too.
Have such wonderful memories of that first holiday in our home in Pearl City. We had a huge mango tree in our backyard, fenced in from the sugar cane fields and surrounded by pretty pink oleanders with a beautiful dark pink blooming bougainvillea growing in our courtyard. Our neighbors even had big red blooming Poinsettias growing in their yard!
What to do when it's 80 degrees? Go to the beach and go boogey boarding! Which is exactly what we did on Christmas Day in 1983.
Love this "reclaimed" from the sea tree from musician Jack Johnson, featured in Coastal Living last holiday - who needs a real tree? Just create one of your own!
Lily Pulitzer, of course. Something so fun about a total infusion of tropical, bright color!
One of my all-time favorite Christmas decor inspirations from Coastal Living Magazine. I have had this image pinned on my bulletin board for 5 years... check out the palm fronts mixed with the blue, aqua and silver. Love this tree!
More color infusion topped off with palm fronts from Better Homes and Gardens (bhg.com) What an inviting, cozy room! | 2019-04-19T18:18:58 | https://www.everythingcoastal.com/2014/12/tropical-for-christmas.html |
Many people think vegetable oils are healthy. The word vegetable might have something to do with it. Or maybe it’s the American Heart Association — a group that’s endorsed soybean oil, corn oil, and the rest of the vegetable oils as “heart healthy” for nearly half a century[*].
Whatever the reason, what’s certain is that vegetable oils have made their way into more and more foods (especially processed foods) over the last 50 years, while fats like butter and coconut oil have been phased out.
Vegetable oils have no place on a healthy ketogenic diet. The trouble is that vegetable oils are rich in linoleic acid and other inflammatory and easily oxidized omega-6 fatty acids.
Vegetable oils are bad for your metabolism, inflammation levels, oxidative stress, weight regulation, and cancer risk.
This article will cover the science behind vegetable oils, the top seven vegetable oils to avoid, and what to use instead of vegetable oils.
For the last half-century, the American Heart Association has maintained that saturated fat is a driving cause of heart disease and that for the sake of your heart, you should replace saturated fats like butter and coconut oil with “heart healthy” vegetable oils rich in omega-6 fatty acids.
However, more and more research is coming out that suggests the exact opposite. In the last decade, several large, independent reviews of the research have found that dietary saturated fat is not associated with heart disease[*][*].
The data actually suggests the opposite. Saturated fat intake is inversely correlated with stroke incidence, and may protect against alcohol-related liver disease[*][*].
And foods high in saturated fat — eggs, palm oil, and coconut oil — are rich in beneficial nutrients like choline, carotenoids, and medium chain triglycerides (MCTs).
When you store (or eat) fat, you store it in triglyceride form. When it’s time to use that fat for energy — on a ketogenic diet, for instance — the triglyceride is broken down into fatty acids.
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fat. There are a few different types, each with unique effects on your health.
You already learned about SFA. SFAs are satiating, resists oxidation, and is stable at high heats, which makes it great for cooking. Contrary to popular wisdom, SFA is healthy.
Next come MUFAs. High MUFA intake correlates with lower blood pressure, lower blood glucose, and lower cardiovascular risk[*].
You won’t find many folks bashing monounsaturated fats. They’re the main type of fat in olive oil and avocado oil, and are prevalent in the Mediterranean Diet, which is one of the best-studied diets for longevity.
Then there are PUFAs. PUFAs can be divided into anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids like the ones you find in fish, and pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids like the ones you find in vegetable oil.
Finally, artificial trans fats — or hydrogenated PUFAs. Artificial trans fats are by far the worst type of fat around. Luckily, researchers have shown how bad they are, and at this point, trans fats are illegal in most parts of the world[*].
Omega-6 PUFAs aren’t as bad as trans fats, but they aren’t great for you either. Let’s talk about why.
Most vegetable oils contain a particularly damaging omega-6 PUFA called linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is bad for you in a few different ways.
Historically, humans have eaten close to a 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats. Researchers believe that this ratio is optimal for human health[*].
But in America, largely thanks to vegetable oils, the O6:O3 ratio is now closer to 20:1 — far in favor of omega-6s, mostly linoleic acid.
That skewed ratio is a very good predictor of obesity[*]. If you’re looking for weight loss, you’ll want to avoid linoleic acid and other omega-6 PUFAs.
Excess linoleic acid turns into another omega-6 PUFA called arachidonic acid, which triggers inflammation pathways and downregulates metabolism, which causes rapid weight gain [*].
Another consequence of excess linoleic acid is inflammation. Linoleic acid turns into pro-inflammatory compounds called eicosanoids that cause an immune response in your cells, creating low-level inflammation[*].
Chronic, low-grade systemic inflammation underlies many of the chronic diseases in the Western world today[*].
For heart health, the AHA endorses high-linoleic oils for cooking[*]. The problem is that linoleic acid in corn oil, soybean oil, and other vegetable oils is highly unstable. When it’s exposed to high temperatures, it oxidizes.
Inflammation: Once ingested, oxidized lipids interact with free radicals — reactive oxygen species (ROS) — in your bloodstream. This interaction triggers your immune system, creating inflammatory conditions in which atherosclerotic (heart disease) plaques develop.
Oxidized LDL: Low density lipoprotein (LDL) particles transport lipids through your bloodstream for energy. So if you eat oxidized lipids, LDL particles pick them up — causing the LDL itself to oxidize. Oxidized LDLs then penetrate the arterial wall, creating inflammation that results in clogged arteries that increase your risk of heart disease.
The bottom line is that vegetable oils rich in linoleic acid are not good for cooking.
Soybean oil is the most consumed vegetable oil in America, largely because it’s exceptionally cheap to manufacture[*].
You’ll find soybean oil on the ingredient lists of salad dressings, spreads, junk food, baked good, fries, and so on. Most soybean oil comes from GMO soybeans.
Soybean is about 55% linoleic acid, which contributes to weight gain, inflammation, and all the other problems you read about above. It’s also ultra-purified, which leaves it devoid of any meaningful nutritional value. You’re better off avoiding it.
Peanut oil is popular for frying foods. It lends a flaky texture and nutty flavor during the deep-frying process.
But again, peanut oil is rich in linoleic acid, and eating it increases your risk of heart disease, diabetes, liver disease, and even cancer[*].
Peanut oil has a fair amount of vitamin E, which companies have used to say that it’s healthy. But the cons outweigh the pros here. You’re better off getting your vitamin E from olive oil and avocados instead.
Corn oil is especially high in phytosterols, the plant version of cholesterol. One of the selling points of corn oil is that it lowers cholesterol; that happens because phytosterols block cholesterol absorption in the gut[*], which lowers total cholesterol and LDL levels.
Increased phytosterol levels are linked to increased heart disease risk[*]. And on top of that, corn oil contains 57% linoleic acid, which makes it one of the worst cooking oils available.
For cooking or eating, 28.1% is still too much PUFA. Nonetheless, canola oil has far less linoleic acid than soybean oil or corn oil.
The FDA has endorsed canola oil for heart disease risk reduction[*]. This is probably because canola oil is high in MUFA and reduces cholesterol.
But like corn oil, canola oil reduces cholesterol via phytosterols — those nasty molecules that seem to increase heart disease risk.
Canola oil also contains erucic acid, which impairs heart function, liver function, and fat metabolism in animal studies[*][*]. Canola oil is required to have less than 2% erucic acid[*], but 2% isn’t nothing. You’re still better off avoiding it.
Cotton doesn’t seem like a vegetable, but cottonseed oil — extracted from the seed of the cotton plant — is nonetheless considered a vegetable oil.
Cottonseed oil was the original oil in Crisco and is a favorite of many restaurants for high-heat cooking because it’s flavorless [*].
But since cottonseed oil is around 55% linoleic acid, restaurants that use it are serving up heaping portions of oxidized lipids. Not good for your heart.
The National Sunflower Association refers to sunflower oil as “your healthy choice”[*]. It’s ironic because sunflower oil is one of the worst offenders when it comes to vegetable oil — it clocks in at more than 60% linoleic acid.
On top of that, a study that fed rats either sunflower oil-rich feed or olive oil-rich feed found that the sunflower oil group had significant DNA damage, which speeds up aging and increases the risk of disease and cancer[*].
You’re best off avoiding sunflower oil.
Safflower oil is the worst vegetable oil you can use. It has up to 70% linoleic acid[*], which comes with all the problems you’ve already read about. It’s unstable for high-heat cooking, it’s devoid of nutrients, and it increases inflammation and heart disease risk.
Now that you know what vegetable oils to avoid, let’s take a look at the best fats you can use to replace vegetable oils.
Red palm oil, ghee, and avocado oil — due to high smoke points and oxidative stability — are best for cooking. They’re also a good source of nutrients.
Vegetable oils are hard to avoid. These oils are advertised as healthy. Major influencers — the AHA included — are committed to a decades-old narrative: that polyunsaturated fat is good for you, while saturated fat is not.
But recent research disagrees. There’s a lot of evidence that you’re better off avoiding vegetable oils and the omega-6 fats within them.
Stick to healthy fats instead. If you want to know exactly what to eat, check out this complete list of anti-inflammatory, nutrient-rich, high-fat foods that are perfect for a ketogenic diet. | 2019-04-24T03:50:09 | https://perfectketo.com/is-vegetable-oil-bad-for-you/ |
I promised more videos of my automata as well as some footage of the recent World Maker Faire New York 2012. Thanks to a visitor to my exhibit who took this video, I can show you both! This short clip shows me cranking one of my latest pieces which depicts a carnival sideshow scene titled Mekanikos vs. The Minotaur.
The automaton features Mekanikos (the world's strongest man according to the poster behind him) engaged in a struggle with a giant man-beast with horns. Turn the crank and the enraged Minotaur thrashes against the chains that bind him while Mekanikos uses his might to pull the monster back.
Below the stage another scene plays out. Clearly, there are two figures doing something, but what? And why? I'm going to leave those questions unanswered for now.
Each automaton I brought to Maker Faire had its admirers, but this one was undoubtedly the crowd favorite.
In the days to come, you can expect to see a far more detailed video of Mekanikos vs. The Minotaur. | 2019-04-23T14:18:14 | http://blog.dugnorth.com/2012/10/mekanikos-vs-minotaur-automaton-by-dug.html |

Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier will get in the Octagon to fight for the interim lightweight championship on Saturday in the main event of UFC 236 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta.
The two men will be competing for the right to call themselves champion in the absence of Khabib Nurmagomedov, who is serving a suspension for his part in the brawl after his win over Conor McGregor at UFC 229.
These two have one previous fight under their belt, with Poirier having submitted Holloway with an armbar in the first round of a bout back in 2012. But as Poirier (24-5) is quick to point out, that fight is now ancient history.
Holloway (20-3) is indeed the featherweight champion, and is looking to become only the third fighter in UFC history to hold a championship at two different weight classes simultaneously. After starting 3-3 in the UFC, he has run off 13 straight victories, with his last loss coming in 2013 when he dropped a decision to McGregor.
Bringing back one of the only men to beat him in his illustrious career sets up a fascinating fight for Holloway. But he told ESPN that he’s not nearly the same fighter he was when he was soundly beaten by Poirier seven years earlier.
That new version of Holloway has established himself as one of the world’s greatest fighters, and many believe that he’ll prove it yet again at UFC 236. While Poirier is a legitimate lightweight contender, Holloway appears to have the stylistic and athletic advantages in this fight, especially if it is primarily fought upright as a duel between strikers.
Bookmakers appear to agree with that assessment. Holloway (-220) is a significant favorite at the FanDuel Sportsbook, though Poirier (+176) is certainly a live underdog. The most likely scenario sees Holloway winning by stoppage (+120), with the bout unlikely to go the full five rounds and be decided on the scorecards.
The Holloway vs. Poirier tilt isn’t the only title fight on the UFC 236 card. The co-main event is an interim middleweight championship fight, with undefeated Israel Adesanya (-182) taking on Kelvin Gatselum (+148) for the title. | 2019-04-23T10:14:09 | https://www.onlinegambling.com/news/2019/04/ufc-236-interim-lightweight-championship-on-the-line-in-atlanta/ |

Invitation to shop for Souvenirs from your visit to the city Pittsburgh. Items from The Warhol Store at The Andy Warhol Museum.
Friday after he got home from work, Steve asked me to go to the Andy Warhol Museum, use our museum memberships. We always say we are going to go to one of the museums every month and although I went with the grandkids to the Carnegie Science Center twice recently and the Carnegie Museum of Art and the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, he and I have not kept up with our plan. Four museums in one membership is a great deal but you have to utilize it! Tonight we were remembering going the night the Warhol opened in 1994. We had a beer and sat on the couch, a nice man offered to take our photo as he saw me struggle with a selfie attempt. We took a walk to the river after our visit.

Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) essential oil has a wonderful, sweet, floral aroma with herbaceous, balsamic, and woody undertones. The aroma of lavender has been used for many years in sachets, pillows, and potpourri to help promote feelings of serenity and peace.
Lavender essential oil is a universal oil that has traditionally been known to balance the body and to work wherever there is a need. The list of common primary uses, historical uses, French medicinal uses, and other possible uses contains over 120 conditions. So, if in doubt, use lavender!
Lavender essential oil possesses analgesic, anticoagulant, anticonvulsant, antidepressant, antifungal, antihistaminic, anti-infectious, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antimutagenic, antiseptic, antispasmodic, antitoxic, antitumor, cardiotonic, regenerative, and sedative properties.
Body systems often affected by lavender essential oil include the cardiovascular and nervous systems, emotions, and the skin.
Research being conducted on lavender continues to show new possible uses and therapeutic benefits that lavender may possess. To learn more about a number of these research studies, including summaries and sources, please see the book Modern Essentials.
Topical Application: Lavender essential oil is one of the gentlest essential oils and can be used safely on children, pregnant women, elderly people, animals, and those with sensitive skin. It can be applied neat (with no dilution) when used topically. Apply directly on area of concern or to reflex points.
Aromatic Application: Lavender essential oil can be diffused or inhaled directly. Lavender oil promotes consciousness, health, love, peace, and a general sense of well-being when inhaled. It also nurtures creativity.
Internal Application: Lavender essential oil can be taken internally. Try placing a drop or two under the tongue, taking it in a capsule, adding a little to a beverage, or using it as a flavoring in cooking. If adding lavender to a food or beverage, try using just a toothpick at first, and add more to taste.
The scent of lavender blends well with most oils, especially with citrus oils and other floral oils. As an antihistamine, lavender essential oil is beneficial for relieving allergy symptoms. Its sedative properties make it a great option for promoting a good night’s rest. Try diffusing one of the following blends in your diffuser. You could also add a drop of lavender essential oil to a cloth, tissue, nasal inhaler, or the palms of your hands and breathe in the aroma.
Lavender essential oil is known for its soothing properties. It can help promote sleep, reduce anxiety, relieve pain, and increase mental clarity. If you need help with any of these areas, try making a blend and rolling it on the feet, hands, wrists, neck, or area of concern.
To make these recipes, just add the recommended number of drops to a 10 ml roll-on bottle, and then fill the rest of the bottle with a carrier oil, such as fractionated coconut oil, jojoba oil, or sweet almond oil. These recipes are formulated at a 5–7% dilution ratio.
*Note: If using a roll-on blend that contains a citrus oil on exposed skin, take care to avoid direct sunlight/UV light for up to 12 hours after application.
Floral herbs like lavender can be used in cooking; but because floral flavors are uncommon, you want just a hint of this flavor. Start with a toothpick, and add more if needed.
Try adding a toothpick of lavender essential oil to a glass of lemonade or to chamomile tea (see recipe below). Lavender also tastes good when added to pound cake or scones. A drop can also provide a unique, gourmet flavor to buttercream frosting.
This Lavender Chamomile Tea is perfect for helping you relax before bedtime. Sip it while you soak in a nice warm bath, and you may drift off to sleep as soon as your head hits the pillow!
In a small saucepan, heat water to boiling (or at least steaming).
Place the tea bag in a mug, and pour the water over the tea bag. Cover, and let steep for 5 minutes.
After 5 minutes, uncover the mug. Remove and dispose of the tea bag.
Dip a toothpick in lavender essential oil, and stir it into the honey. Discard the toothpick, and stir the honey into the tea until it dissolves.
Allow the tea to cool a little before drinking. Breathe in the aroma as you wait for it to cool so that you get the aromatic benefits of the lavender essential oil as well!
Some common first aid conditions that lavender can be used for include the following: agitation, bruises, burns (can mix with melaleuca), leg cramps, herpes, heart irregularities, hives, insect bites, neuropathy, pain (inside and out), bee stings, sprains, sunburn (combine with frankincense), and sunstroke. Lavender oil can also relieve insomnia, depression, and PMS and is a natural antihistamine (asthma or allergies).

America’s national parks are some of our most beloved places. Scenic vistas, incredible wildlife, cultural treasures and more help make our public lands and waters the envy of the world. However, many parks lack the modern conveniences an increasingly diverse, urban and technologically savvy public wants to deliver great experiences. AccessParks – American Recreation Coalition’s (ARC) newest Contributing Member – is bringing nearly a decade of experience and out-of-the-box thinking to change that situation and help the National Park Service (NPS) remain relevant to today’s public.
Since 2008, the team behind AccessParks has been building and managing commercial-grade, high-speed wireless networks on federal lands in some of the most remote locations on earth. It has pioneered public-private partnerships to build scalable, rapidly deployable, modular Internet delivery for bases managed by the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Army, as well as FBI and DHS sites, at no cost to the government and actually yielding a sustained revenue stream. In fact, DOD saved hundreds of millions in budgeted funds under this partnership. These systems are now in use today at most U.S. military facilities across the globe. Now, AccessParks CEO Tim Rout and his team are looking to bring their vision and expertise to America’s national parks through its SmartParks™ program, going beyond just connectivity to bring the Internet of Things (IoT) to federal lands.
AccessParks’ first NPS unit, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, was launched in May 2017, bringing gigabit internet services to campgrounds, RV parks, marinas and more! AccessParks reports early user feedback has been so positive that it is already in talks with concessioners in other parks to help bring 21st century internet technology to more of America’s public lands and waters, with the goal of delivering game-changing, high-speed Wi-Fi and IoT benefits to an entire NPS region.
Mr. Rout has shared his innovative ideas with top government officials and other potential partners – meeting with Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke alongside the Outdoor Recreation Industry Roundtable in July – and has presented at two Partners Outdoors conferences – 2015 and 2017 – where he spoke about embracing innovation, modernizing infrastructure and creating more enjoyable recreational experiences for all visitors to federal lands.
"We welcome this visionary company to ARC membership,” said ARC President Derrick Crandall. “We look forward to working with Tim and his forward-thinking team to provide outstanding recreational experiences on America's public lands and waters."

Sam’s Outdoor Outfitters and 48 apartments are located inside The Barber Building in Brattleboro, which has been sold to a New York real estate firm for $2.4 million.
BRATTLEBORO—New York-based real estate firm Time Equities Inc. (TEI) in April purchased the two buildings that house Sam’s Outdoor Outfitters, Sam’s Too, and 48 apartments.
Brad Borofsky said his family’s business, Sam’s, will remain open and operating. The business has signed a long-term lease with TEI, he said.
“We have no plans of leaving any time soon,” Borofsky said in the midst of writing inventory orders for next spring and summer.
“We’ll be here longer if the sales environment can stay healthy enough to sustain us,” he added.
The Barber Building — 62-74 Main Street — and 9 Flat Street mark TEI’s first acquisition in Vermont.
According to the real estate firm’s news release, the majority of the company’s holdings are in the Northeast. The company has properties in 27 states, five Canadian provinces, Germany, the Netherlands, and Anguilla, in the British Virgin Islands.
Selling the two buildings provided a good business opportunity, Borofsky said. Borofsky’s grandfather Sam started the business in 1932.
“We didn’t have to sell the building,” Borofsky said.
According to Borofsky, Sam’s three stores — in Brattleboro, Keene, New Hampshire, and Hadley, Massachusetts — are strong and healthy.
He added, however, that now is a good time to sell. He said Brattleboro “looks good” between the Brattleboro Food Co-op’s new building, wonderful restaurants, the renovated Brooks House, and post-Tropical Storm Irene repairs.
Borofsky highlighted the changes he has witnessed in Brattleboro during his family’s tenure at the corner of Main and Flat streets.
He listed a host of stores that used to call Brattleboro home, such as Mann’s, Woolworth’s, and King’s.
There was a time when Keene residents shopped in Brattleboro, he said.
Most outdoor-focused bricks-and-mortar stores are struggling as more people shop on the internet, he said. For Brattleboro, one of the biggest competitors is Keene, NH.
In Borofsky’s view, Keene is the region’s hub town. It has a variety of stores and amenities and no sales tax, he said. Vermont doesn’t charge sales tax on clothing and footwear, but most people don’t know that, he added.
Borofsky thanked the local residents who shopped at Sam’s. The store also has a steady tourist base — although Mother Nature dictates those tourist sales quite a bit, he said.
According to public documents, after approximately one year on the market, the two buildings were purchased by TEI for $2.4 million. Ranger Curran of RE/MAX Town & Country brokered the deal on behalf of Borofsky.
Borofsky said most of the sale price will go toward paying off debt and toward capital gains taxes.
Together, the two buildings total approximately 64,617 square feet.
According to the news release, the company owns and maintains approximately 22.61 million square feet of residential, industrial, office and retail property. This portfolio includes more than 3,078 multi-family apartment units.
The company has an additional approximately 1.62 million square feet of properties in various stages of development.
Max Pastor, Associate Director of Acquisitions at TEI, noted in the news release that the Sam’s buildings offer an opportunity to “become more active in the state of Vermont and surrounding areas.” The buildings also provide “a strong cash flow” and other opportunities.
“Boasting a diverse population, independent stores and restaurants, educational and healthcare services, cultural institutions and an ideal location near the Connecticut River, we are optimistic about the investment potential of Brattleboro and look forward to evaluating future transactions in Vermont,” Pastor said.
In an email, Pastor said the company has searched for properties in Vermont for some time.
While the buildings’ sale marks a transition of the Borofsky family, it also could mark a change for the rental market.
The Barber Building on Main Street houses 48 apartment units, which range from efficiencies (one room) to four-room apartments.
According to the Barber Realty website, which lists apartments’ details, rents range from $650 for a one-room apartment to $950 for a four-room apartment. Rents include utilities. All are within walking distance to most services.
A spin through websites that list rentals like craigslist.com or apartments.com turned up a range of rents. Only a handful of the offerings included all utilities.
Rents on efficiencies ranged from $595 to $850. Rents on one-bedroom apartments ranged from $650 to $1,000, with the majority of the rents in the $700 range. Two-bedroom apartments were listed at $775 to $1,800, with most in the $1,000 range. Finally, the few three-bedrooms ranged from $980 to $1,495.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development lists the fair market rent for Windham County as $750, including utilities, for a one-bedroom apartment.
Christine Hart, executive director of the Brattleboro Housing Partnerships, said people with Section 8 vouchers are looking in the $750 price range. And that rate is low for the Brattleboro market, she added.
She has noticed that people searching for apartments through the Partnership’s voucher programs are taking longer to find them, generally between 30 and 90 days. Hart said she receives lists of where apartment hunters have contacted and that, at least judging by the length of the lists, people are really looking.
“Apartments are tight at that market level,” she said.

OTTAWA – Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will pay an official visit to Mexico on October 12 and 13, the country’s foreign ministry said in a recent statement.
PM Trudeau reciprocates the visit made by President Enrique Peña Nieto to Canada in June 2016.
Both leaders will debate on competitiveness, entrepreneurship and innovation, as well as the strengthening of trade flows between the two nations, according to the statement.
In 2016, Canada was Mexico’s fourth largest trading partner with bilateral trade totaling over 20 billion dollars.
Over 96,000 Mexicans are currently living in Canada, the second largest community outside the United States. | 2019-04-19T02:27:35 | https://santiagotimes.cl/2017/10/05/canada-pm-trudeau-to-pay-tw-day-official-visit-to-mexico/ |
US oil and gas services firm National Oilwell Varco (NOV) has taken two industrial units at Belleknowes Industrial Estate in Inverkeithing.
The Texas-based company had signed a 15-year lease with landlord Hermes Property Unit Trust (HPUT) on units 13 and 14 at the Fife industrial estate totalling nearly 14,000 sq. ft.
NOV recently acquired Advanced Production and Loading UK Ltd (APL) who were the previous occupier of the units.
The US firm plans to set up a distribution service centre in Fife to provide supply chain services to the North Sea drilling and production industries.
HPUT was represented by Jones Lang LaSalle and NOV represented themselves in the transaction.
Kirsty Palmer of Jones Lang LaSalle said: “Attracting interest from international companies such as NOV, Belleknowes has proven itself as a highly desirable business location, attracting demand from both local commerce and multinational corporations. | 2019-04-25T10:53:37 | https://www.insider.co.uk/news/oil-services-firm-takes-two-9869331 |

DOBBS: Let’s take a different perspective on NAFTA if we may tonight, this one the Canadian perspective. At least one Canadian perspective and one major Canadian political party that adamantly is opposed to the trade agreement and to the threat of the North American Union.
Jack Layton is the leader of Canada’s New Democratic Party and he joins us tonight from Ottawa.
Jack, great to have you with us.
JACK LAYTON, CANADA’S NEW DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADER: Good to be with you, Lou.
DOBBS: The Canadian perspective, on NAFTA a lot of grumbling here and a lot of talk if it should be omitted in our presidential contest as well. Your thoughts?
LAYTON: We think NAFTA is not working well for working families and the middle class. I will just give you a couple examples. Here in Canada we have lost a third of a million jobs in the last three years in the manufacturing sector. The kind of jobs that allow people to pay a mortgage, to raise their kids, to make contributions to the local hockey team — we love hockey here in Canada, and really to the backbone and to the community. And they’re now finding the jobs that are available when they get laid off — out of these plants because their jobs have now been sent off to a far-off land where wages are one one-hundredth of what they are here — the kind of jobs they can find in Canada are minimum wage.
They can’t pay their mortgages, they are really struggling and I know many American workers are finding exactly the same thing. I think it’s time we made a little common cause and make sure the trade deals are working for the people who make the economy work.
DOBBS: I think most Americans would not pay attention a great deal to the fact Canada is a parallel, if you will, universe in terms of these agreements. When you talk about a third of a million jobs, that goes beyond just NAFTA, that goes to Canada’s overall trade policies, does it not?
LAYTON: Yes it does. Just to give you some examples. We ship raw logs from our forest all the way over to China where they are turned into products and they come back and we buy them. We even find sometimes the products don’t meet our standards our here. I heard you talking about toxic toothpaste in the U.S.
We’ve been facing toxic toys here in Canada. There goes the jobs. The trees go and they take the jobs with them and I know the West Coast is experiencing many of the same things. We need some fair and sustainable trade. That’s what we’ve got to put together.
DOBBS: What a wonderful expression. Fair and sustainable trade. In other words, Jack, let me say, I think many people, are surprised as they listen to you talking about the problems with NAFTA from your perspective, those are precisely what we’re doing now.
We’re sending timber and bringing back lumber. We’re exporting soybeans and scrap and taking in computers from China. The principle source of our computers, our consumer electronics and we look like a third world country for crying out loud.
LAYTON: It’s these multinational organizations under this so- called phrase globalization feel they can consume and produce in their own interests. And they are certainly doing very well by it but it leaves a lot of people behind and that’s why we think a renegotiation of trade should take place and today in Washington, our trade critic, Peter Julian was there from our party working with Congress members and legislators from Mexico to set up a working group to set up a working group. That is a bit of good news today.
DOBBS: Real quickly, we are out of time. Jack Layton, Mr. Brodie, the prime minister’s chief of staff, some talk about him being the source of that leak of Obama-gate as it is called here? Your reaction?
LAYTON: I asked the prime minister today in the House of Commons to apologize to the American people for this kind of interference on the democratic process in the U.S. It’s not right, he hasn’t yet apologized and he hasn’t yet fired the source of the leak. So we’ll keep working on that on our end.
DOBBS: It’s nice and it’s absolutely reassuring, Jack Layton, to find that politics are not just a mess here but occasionally up north. We thank you for taking time with us and hope you’ll come back soon as we discuss these important issues for working men and women and their families and both candidates and the United States and Mexico for that matter.
LAYTON: For sure, Lou. Take care.
DOBBS: Thank you. You too.
Up next here, Venezuelan dictator Hugo Chavez at it again. Moving troops up to the border with Colombia, maybe he intends to use them. We’ll have that report.
And five years since the creation of the Department of Homeland Security a few questions remain like why aren’t our borders and ports secure? I’ll be talking with Congressman Lamar Smith about that.
We’re coming right back. Stay with us.
For whatever the depth of this “scandal” for all parties that message on it, it’s a good one for Jack Layton because it fits well into his message track as he advocates on his views regarding organized labour, manufacturing, and free trade. This sets Layton up firmly against our Conservative Prime Minister who stands opposed to Layton’s principled, however misguided, views on most, if not all of these issues. Jack Layton receives great profile here from CNN and if we contrast this to the faltering leadership of Leader of the Opposition Stephane Dion, we find Layton to be more of a credible voice for those that oppose the Conservative government’s agenda.
Also a scandal in Canada is that the news media is focusing more upon the leak on Obama’s position rather than the Chicago senator’s nebulous position itself. The preservation of NAFTA and full political disclosure of the candidates on the issue is in Canada’s best interest. While it is unfortunate that there is now a perception of interference in US electoral politics by Canadian government staff, Canada is better off for having the issue front and centre on the US political stage. Americans are now be able to evaluate the positions of their political candidates on such an issue of importance to Canada. It is to Canada’s advantage that U.S. candidates for president are now being vetted on their position regarding free trade with our country.
In the U.S., the scandal is based on full disclosure of policy in a political campaign (“keeping them honest”, as Lou Dobbs might say). In Canada, the scandal is the inappropriate nature by which Americans were given an opportunity to have an honest policy debate.
Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be affected by renegotiating or ripping up NAFTA. What’s got the Ottawa press buzzing is which one job close to the Prime Minister (in Ottawa or Washington) may be affected instead.
Next Next post: He said what? | 2019-04-19T02:43:18 | http://www.stephentaylor.ca/2008/03/07/transcript-of-jack-layton-on-cnns-lou-dobbs-tonight/ |

Thailand’s prime minister said April 30 his country had agreed in principle to form a rice price-fixing cartel with Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and Myanmar as costs of the staple grain rocket.
The grouping of Mekong nations would be similar to the oil cartel OPEC, and would be called the Organization of Rice Exporting Countries (OREC).
“I have talked with Myanmar and invited them to join the rice exporting countries cartel, which will include Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, to fix the price,” Premier Samak Sundaravej told reporters.
He said Myanmar’s Prime Minister General Thein Sein, in Thailand for an official visit, had agreed to join, even though the military-ruled nation was not currently a large rice exporter.
“Thailand will help them in terms of technical support to improve their production for export,” Samak said. | 2019-04-22T18:48:09 | https://www.phnompenhpost.com/national/mekong-nations-planning-rice-cartel |

Hayley Anthony is a transgender woman who helped design a new surgical technique for male to female gender affirmation surgery.
Dr. Jess Ting is director of surgery at the Center for Transgender Medicine and Surgery at Mount Sinai in New York City.
Important information I do not have available is the names of the doctors in India who actually made the medical advance. Anthony discovered a paper on their research somewhere on the web and shared it with Dr. Ting.
The Indian doctors have been been building vaginas using tissue from the peritoneum, the tissue that holds your internal organs in place.
I kept thinking, there’s got to be something better,” he says. “But where were we going to find a large amount of pink, hairless, inner skin that secretes fluid?
Dr. Ting was even more impressed when he discovered that the peritoneum repairs itself when injured in a matter of days.
In July, Mount Sinai launched the country’s first medical fellowship dedicated explicitly to transgender surgery. Ting will be training one fellow each year and he’s hopeful they’ll stay on staff once they’re done to help meet the city’s growing demand. Another important part of their job will be to follow up with these surgery patients over the next few years; while the new procedure is showing superior results so far, it will be important to monitor to see how it holds up long term.
In May, Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price told a federal court that he’s reworking a provision in the Affordable Care Act that requires states to cover transgender care through their Medicaid programs. The rewrite is likely to free states to refuse coverage for hormones, counseling, and surgeries for transgender men and women. Not that they have to wait; Price said he’s declining to enforce the rule in the meantime. | 2019-04-22T09:03:12 | https://www.voicesonthesquare.com/essays/2017/09/12/new-surgical-technique |
HP Officejet Pro 276dw Drivers and Review 2017 - It's not all that typically that we get to test an inkjet multifunction ink-jet printer that sets you back greater than $300. (Most inkjets are tailored toward consumers as well as come in listed below that.) One of the most recent was HP's $799.99-list Officejet Pro X576dw $411.88 at Amazon, an ultra-high-volume model based on the company's reasonably brand-new PageWide modern technology, rather various from other devices developed around typical inkjet systems. Before that, the last $300-plus inkjet we had actually seen in some time was the Editors' Choice-winning, $499.99-list Epson Labor force Pro WP-4590-- which we reviewed back in 2012.
What we liked about the Labor force Pro WP-4590-- besides its solid feature collection and its laser-like print top quality and print speeds-- was its highly affordable expense per page (CPP). This was one of couple of inkjets (and also still is) that provided black-and-white pages for under 2 cents per web page, and also color pages for well under 10 cents. Not only are these CPPs incredibly reduced for an inkjet printer, however they are additionally cheaper per page compared to lots of color-laser-class machines. Combine this inexpensive of ownership with a comprehensive function collection, a high regular monthly print quantity, and phenomenal print quality and speed, as well as you obtain a wonderful all-in-one (AIO) device for local business and also workgroups that publish a lot.
That's likewise exactly what you get with the topic of this evaluation, HP's $399.99-list Officejet Pro 276dw Multifunction Ink-jet printer$365.55 at Amazon-- a very qualified, feature-rich, high-volume AIO with a really reasonable per-page price of consumables. In fact, function for feature-- right to an optional extra 250-sheet paper cabinet as well as PCL/PostScript laser-printer emulation-- HP's 276dw as well as Epson's WP-4590 have a great deal alike. Truthfully, we would certainly find selecting in between them hard. The good news is that despite which one you pick, both machines provide an exceptional choice to a midrange color laser multifunction ink-jet printer-- in addition to the advantages you get from inkjet modern technology versus laser modern technology. Inkjet printers, for instance, end up much higher-quality photographic photos and also complex graphics, as well as they do so while consuming less power than their laser equivalents.
HP Officejet Pro 276dw Drivers and Review 2017 As we see it, after that, this really is a battle of two high-volume business-centric inkjet AIOs-- the 276dw examined below and Epson's highly qualified WP-4590. Other than the $100 distinction in their retail price (which, on high-volume models like these, is lesser compared to their CPPs), the evil one remains in the specifics. This Officejet, as an example, comes with a high-capacity automated document feeder, or ADF (holding 50 web pages, versus 30 on the Epson printer), as well as a slightly greater recommended optimum monthly task pattern (30,000 pages versus 25,000). On the other hand, the Epson model delivers a little reduced CPPs, which, if you print hundreds of web pages every month, could conserve you plenty year in and year out.
Our idea is that you look into our testimonials of both models as well as contrast them heads up to decide which better fits your requirements. In the meantime, as we stated concerning the WP-4590 in 2014, we found little to do not like concerning this Officejet. It's hands-down a simple income earner of our Editors' Selection salute.
Baseding on HP, the Officejet Pro 276dw is a sprucing-up of the HP Officejet Pro 8600 And also that we considered (and also liked so well) back in January 2012. In that respect, apart from a shade modification (from a somewhat homely brown-and-tan framework to a far more appealing black and also grey) and also a $100 cost trek, this year's design looks similar to last year's. HP has a flair for making contemporary-, high-tech-looking AIOs, and this, with its appealing slopes, angles, and lustrous black trim, stands out. If good looks in an ink-jet printer are important to you, we believe the 276dw outperforms the WP-4590 Like its predecessor, the Officejet Pro 276dw is a high-volume printer. As inkjet versions go, it's big, although not as huge as the majority of laser printers with the very same 30,000-page advised month-to-month task cycle. At 12.4 x19.5 x18.1 inches (HWD) with the result tray retracted and weighing in at 27.8 pounds, it's exactly the very same size and also weight as last year's Officejet 8600 Plus, which suggests that, hardware-wise, this is similar printer. As well as, as we said about in 2013's version, the Officejet Pro 276dw is a little bit big to set on your desk next to you. It assists Wi-Fi and also several various other connection methods, however, so finding a place to place it shouldn't present much of a trouble.
Along with using basic Wi-Fi, you can likewise attach the Officejet Pro 276dw to your neighborhood network via Ethernet, or directly to a PC with a USB cable television. Mobile devices can print straight to it without joining a network, by means of Wireless Direct (HP's equivalent to Wi-Fi Direct), or you could use Google's Cloud Print, Apple's AirPrint, or HP's very own ePrint. (The last permits you to send print works you want the printer to perform as e-mail accessories, sent to a printer-specific address.).
HP Officejet Pro 276dw Review 2017 - If those aren't sufficient alternate print networks for you, you can additionally print from and check to a number of various flavors of SD sd card, consisting of SD High Storage capacity (SDHC), MiniSD, MicroSD, as well as MicroSDHC. (These last 3 require an adapter you'll need to acquire individually.) You'll locate the SD-card port, in addition to a port for USB thumb drives, on the front of the printer. It remains in the lower-left edge, next to the paper tray. All functions, consisting of pecking in telephone number for dialing, are dealt with from the screen, which is well-organized and easy to use. As we noted concerning the Officejet 8600 Plus, in our examinations it presented photos from memory devices crisply, and it processed as well as presented them (along with data checklists) on the screen quicker than many other AIOs we've taken a look at. We scrolled from picture to photo immediately, regardless of the photo size and also the number of images on the tool, without waiting for the cpu to mesmerize. Some AIOs take a number of seconds or more to show long listings of documents and also large photos. Not this one.
As we've also pertained to anticipate from HP ink-jet printers, the Officejet Pro 276dw assists HP's printer apps, which enable you to download and install and print content from various companies on the Internet. Large and also varied, the material includes kinds and also paper templates from sites like Supervisor Devices and FreePrintable.net, business and financial information recaps from numerous outlets, such as CNN Cash and also Reuters, and signs from Layout an Indication. The listing continues-- you could obtain a full listing of HP's ink-jet printer applications from the firm's Internet site right here.
We have actually reported on ink-jet printer applications often times over the past few years, however HP has actually just recently included a brand-new feature called HP Printables, which enables you to arrange print tasks from certain suppliers, such as Kiplinger's. With HP Printables you can, as an example, select a particular area of a publication, such as Stocks or Commodities, and timetable it to print per day at a specific time. It's merely one more method to get you to print and use ink and also paper, to be sure, however some individuals could discover printer apps valuable. Perhaps better: Some apps permit you to scan records to (and conserve them on) cloud websites. As we mentioned in our intro, the Officejet Pro 276dw has a 50-page automatic-duplexing ADF. An auto-duplexing ADF allows you to scan, copy, and fax two-sided records without needing to turn the web pages over. This additionally keeps pagination, rather than forcing you to scan all even-numbered pages, and then all odd-numbered web pages (or the other way around). When you use the ADF with the auto-duplexing print engine, duplicating two-sided papers comes to be considerably less picky, without a great deal of complicated turning of input and outcome web pages.
So far, most of the features we've discussed are available on many high-volume AIOs. What is reasonably uncommon, though, is this device's assistance for HP's PCL 5 and Adobe's PostScript 3 emulation. (Epson's WP-4590 additionally replicates these laser printer languages.) Along with being the two most typical page-description languages (PDLs) used on most laser printers, they're additionally utilized by a lot of high-end typesetting devices and printing machine.
Various printer languages explain colors, halftones, type spacing, as well as total web page format in different ways, which can cause slight differences in the means your pages publish. In higher-end page-layout as well as graphics applications, such as Adobe InDesign as well as Illustrator, or computer assisted composing (CAD) programs, these subtleties can be essential. Using a particular language keeps compatibility and also portability across numerous tools.
When you create a record in high-end format programs like InDesign, for example, pages are actually "described" baseding on specific ink-jet printer meanings. Using a common language when printing the very same file on different devices aids to get rid of shifts in result. Given that the Officejet Pro 276dw emulates these common page-description languages, you ought to obtain the same (or extremely near the very same) results, in terms of color matching, halftones, and more, as you would certainly from a laser tool using the very same language. | 2019-04-22T18:28:36 | https://www.filehorse.net/2015/11/hp-officejet-pro-276dw-drivers-and.html |
Funny how you spend weeks worrying about what she can't do (as compared to her same aged friends) and suddenly one day BOOM it just happens.
Finally can put my hands on the 4 in 1 Avent food maker I got when I was 6 months pregnant!
She's been really eager to feed herself so usually I help scoop the puree and pass her the spoon. After which she slowly put it into her mouth. The littlest thing she can do now that amazes me so much.
What mini gets on weekdays : fish/chicken porridge with fish and veggies, all prepared by my neighbour.I can't say this enough, I'm so thankful for her!
Dining outside is much easier now that we can just place her in the baby chair YESSAAA.
She really did drink using the straw la seh.
This one I malas nak cakap banyak lah. This picture and video says it all.
Remember I mentioned about trying out the WOWO shampoo in this post? Well, that didn't help even a single bit. My hair was falling like crazy to the extend of me getting scared to comb my hair. Other than that, I'm still having a hard time accepting my post partem body urgh. Lately I've been working out at least three times a week, which is crazy because I have to sacrifise my sleep on weekends and wake up at five in the morning cos that's the only time I'm free. I also keep my fitness trainer girlfriend updated of what I consume every single day, just to keep track of what I should be eating more/less. So far I've seen very little progress which I'm so happy for, but still a super long way to go!
Despite being busy around the clock and having very little time for myself, I must say I find so much joy doing my mummy duties. Totally adds a whole new purpose to my back then monotonous life. (which I do miss on certain bad days lol) With my mini soaking up everything she sees around her, I realise it's not just about me teaching her, she's teaching me as well. I'm not just shaping mini's characters, I'm shaping mine too. I want her to be kind, so I have to be kind too. I need to curb my language, be a whole lot more patient and control my temper cos I know she's watching me.
I used to tell others how stressed I am taking care of mini, and most of the assured me things will get easier.
They were wrong, it didn't. I don't think there's a single part of parenthood that's easy.
I've been missing the beach so much these days and was hoping we could fly to Bali over the recent March holiday. However, the thought of doing water activities with a baby doesn't scream fun at all, not forgetting the fact that I have yet to recover from my traumatic experience in the plane with mini lol.
Sofitel Singapore Sentosa Resorts and Spa.
We got the junior suite and I FREAKING L♥VE this place. I really don't mind another staycay here!!
Look at the spacious rooms.
Mini grumpy cat enjoying the king sized bed.
& because we're at an incredibly grand and instagram-worthy place, a family photoshoot is a must, no? | 2019-04-22T22:22:41 | http://www.livingwithnyna.com/2018/04/ |
Ping Pong Robots Table tennis has been a favorite indoor game for years. The game is loved by many since it offers the same workout benefits one would get playing any other physical game outdoors.
The best ping pong robots help the table tennis players become better players. If a person wishes to improve their skills and performance in the sport, they need a training partner.
It may not always be possible to find a training partner on time especially when your favorite trainer is engaged elsewhere. Fortunately, technology has come to the rescue of people that need to train at the most convenient time. The ping pong robot also known as the table tennis robot is a useful device that one can use for training. Once you set the machine on one side of a table, it works by firing balls in a controlled manner.
The biggest advantage of a table tennis robot is that it allows one to train anytime they choose. This convenience is a huge benefit because it allows you to plan and manage your time accordingly. If you have set 30 minutes of training, you can stay on schedule. Contrast this with working with a training partner who may be late for any number of reasons meaning you end up wasting time.
If you wish to speed up your training, you can set the robot to fire the balls faster. This benefit means that you can improve your game to a high level. When you are training against an individual, your game is limited by their ability. If your training partner is slow, it means your game will suffer. The robot thus offers more benefits that training against a person.
Training against a table tennis robot also acts as a good workout. For a person looking for health tips best ping pong robots, the fact is that the machine pushes them to their limits. When a person is pushed to their limit while working out, it offers numerous physical benefits. | 2019-04-20T04:39:43 | https://www.marciliobrowne.com/tag/table-tennis/ |
Determined to become a ballroom dancer, country boy KWAN farewells his disapproving father and journeys to a renowned studio in Singapore to train under his idol EMI, a former champion.
A fish out of water, Kwan struggles to survive in the big city, and having taught himself to dance solely from instructional videos he’s the worst student at the studio. Emi however recognizes his passion and hidden talent. When the other students shun Kwan as a partner for the looming ballroom dancing championships, Emi steps in and romance blossoms.
However, Emi’s ex boyfriend CHENG, the reigning kung fu champion, refuses to let her go and fueled by jealousy forces Kwan to accept a challenge, a show down of furious martial arts routines, with the loser leaving town, and Emi for good.
A heart warming, triumphant underdog tale in the tradition of BILLY ELLIOT, STRICTLY BALLROOM and the KARATE KID. | 2019-04-20T20:41:53 | http://www.arclightfilms.com/CatalogueTitles.aspx?ProjectId=1ce0a038-bea9-4c39-8d03-9c42011b5537&bu=Easternlight |
The site was picked one week prior to drilling. Ruhango District Engineer, LWI staff, and village leaders participated in the selection process. The site was selected to help the community access clean water because they have had no reliable safe water source. The local leaders played a major role in the success of this project. The LWI’s Sustainability Coordinator, together with District Engineer and local leadership encouraged the community to contribute towards the completion of this project. They have discussed how the community can make a contribution to prepare the road to access the selected site. The local leader (cell executive secretary) released a plot of land for the well location. After much discussion, the local leaders mobilized the community to prepare the road and make it possible for the drilling machine to reach the site. LWI staff has provided orientation for the community on how to establish a water user committee for better management of the well. The community members are willing to establish a water user committee. The community has not signed an MoU to upgrade this well into submersible pump, because the community has no electricity yet. At the end of the training, the village leader greatly appreciated Living Water interventions that enabled the community to access clean water. The community was appreciated as well for effective participation to make the road and give access to the pump.
We are excited to report that the community of Buhoro, Rwanda has a new source of safe, clean water. We just posted a report from the field including GPS coordinates, pictures, and information about the community.
Thank you for this water. I have no words to express. The previous water sources were a swamp and a spring, but the water quality from those sources was very poor. | 2019-04-19T10:20:55 | https://thewaterproject.org/community/projects/rwanda/new-well-in-rwanda-3058 |
Malcolm Butler, who the Titans signed in the offseason, has embraced his move to Nashville, and, in a larger sense, a change of scenery.
Butler has embraced his move to Nashville, and, in a larger sense, a change of scenery. It helps with turning the page, though Butler will tell you he did that months ago.
On the first day of training camp, Butler, who the Titans signed to a five-year, $61.25 million contract with $30 million guaranteed in March, used perfect timing to pick off Marcus Mariota on a pass intended for Corey Davis in 1-on-1 drills. He proceeded to punt the ball in celebration.
"I didn’t mean no disrespect or anything like that," Butler said. "That’s just who I am. I’m just a guy who plays with a lot of intensity."
"Malcolm’s got a lot to prove," Titans secondary coach Kerry Coombs said. "Malcolm’s a competitive guy. He competes at everything he does. He wants to win at everything he does, he wants to win at every rep and he wants to let you know when he beats you. And I love that about Malcolm."
Butler forced at least one turnover in each of the first four practices of training camp. On Saturday, he provided one of the few highlights from the Titans practice at Nissan Stadium, flashing good closing speed to get his hand on a pass intended for Taywan Taylor and break it up.
"I’ve seen everything that I thought he was going to be and that’s being a fiery competitor, scraping and working hard every single day," safety Kevin Byard said. "I feel like he’s been the most impressive defensive player so far in camp. He’s been out here fighting and clawing, earning that contract." | 2019-04-19T15:22:58 | https://www.tennessean.com/story/sports/nfl/titans/2018/08/05/tennessee-titans-malcolm-butler-training-camp-patriots-super-bowl/893502002/ |
The best way I could understand the spine is to think of your spinal cord like a tree with branches. The spinal cord that runs from your head to your "behind" is the tree trunk. Off the spinal cord there are "nerve roots", like tree branches. There are branches at every step down your vertebrae. The spine is labeled levels Cs for neck, T's for Trunk (thoracic) and Ls for Lumbar (lower back). Depending on the number that is the level where you neural foramina is narrowed.
The neural foramin are canal like space where those "tree braches" nerves roots exit the spinal canal to your extremities, body , etc.. There is one on each side (right and left) formed by the bony part of your spine.
Narrowing is most usually caused by bone spur /ridges like growth, or sometimes disc material bulging into that space. Usually causing pain, tingling, or numbness. | 2019-04-21T01:02:14 | https://www.healthboards.com/boards/spinal-cord-disorders/560129-what-does-narrowing-neural-foramina-mean.html |
While a good chunk of the internet pondered whether Missy Elliott's new video contained references to Miley Cyrus, the name of a different female entertainer came to my mind: Alyson Stoner.
Stoner—aka "the little girl from the Missy Elliott video"—was a fixture in many of Missy's immediate post-Y2K clips. There was a language to videos like "Work It" and "Gossip Folks," and a little dancing white girl was as much a part of that speech as the eye-popping visuals, the futuristic yet timeless production, and the abrupt double-feature shift to an entirely different track, à la "One Minute Man"/"Whatcha Gon' Do" and "Get Ur Freak On"/"Lick Shots."
"WTF (Where They From)" might not tease another song off of Missy's long-fabled seventh studio album, Block Party, but the Dave Meyers-directed video does have a little dancing white girl of its very own. The brunette pigtails are swapped for long blonde hair tucked under a snapback, the B-girl moves for some twitchy animation. But the dancer's combined eight seconds of screen time read pure "Alyson Stoner" to me.
So, was this girl's casting a deliberate throwback to Alyson Stoner?
Apparently not—at least that's what "WTF" creative director and longtime Missy choreographer Nadine "Hi-Hat" Ruffin told me.
"I wouldn't say that [this little girl's casting was an intentional reference to Alyson Stoner]," Nadine "Hi-Hat" Ruffin said in an email sent Friday. "It could have been a little boy, this girl is just talented. But everyone will think that it's a throwback to Alyson Stoner."
Then continue to think it's a throwback to Alyson Stoner I shall.
Through Hi-Hat, I learned that the dancer's name is Phoenix Lil'Mini.
There's a good chance you've seen her before: Along with appearances on So You Think You Can Dance and Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris, Phoenix showed up briefly in Kendrick Lamar's "Alright" and opened Greg Lauren's spring 2016 runway show at New York Fashion Week. There's also a Facebook video of her dancing to Nicki Minaj's Truffle Butter" that's garnered more than 14 million views.
Phoenix, aka Sarah, is 10 years old and from Sacramento, Calif. She's got other interests outside of dance: writing, art, soccer, basketball, skateboarding, "building robots out of trash," and civil rights activism ("I don't think it's fair when people are not treated equally"). But dancing, especially battling, is her "bread and butter."
Sarah and her mom told me that they're not entirely sure how she ended up getting cast in the video for the Pharrell Williams-produced track. But from what they've heard, Missy Elliott saw one of Sarah's videos online and asked a mutual connection, dancer Comfort Fedoke, to contact her. However it happened, Sarah said she feels "absolutely blessed" to have been able to dance in Missy's video, something that only a handful of other people can say that they've done.
One of those dancers has since moved on to making music videos of her own, but Alyson Stoner told me that she'll always remember her Missy Elliott days fondly.
"It's an insane honor to have been a part of such a special moment in music culture," Stoner told me in an email. "It will continue to be sacred to me."
Stoner, who's currently shooting a film called Mr. Invincible and prepping the release of an as-yet-untitled 2016 single, said that she loved Missy's new video from "the first shot."
"Missy's forever one-of-a-kind in style, integrity, and mind," she said. "I love the culture, the direction, and most of all, that she's back."
As for her spiritual successor, Stoner thought that Sarah/Phoenix Lil'Mini did a "perfect" job, saying that it's "time to pass the torch."
She also offered some words of wisdom as someone who was once in the young dancer's position some 13 years ago: "Live your love for dance and enjoy every minute, Sarah. We're rooting for you." | 2019-04-24T16:38:32 | https://splinternews.com/meet-the-tiny-dancer-from-missy-elliotts-new-video-1793852956 |
Amy Winehouse's family is putting her house up for sale to the tune of £2.7 million (about $4.2 million)! The three-bedroom property in northwest London has become a shrine for mourning fans.
Keep in mind this is the same house where she lived and died, but a spokesperson for the family indicated they put it on the market because it would be inappropriate for any of them to actually live there.
In a statement, the Winehouse family spokesperson indicated, "It was not practical to keep it empty while paying the costs of its upkeep." The 2,500-square-foot home includes three living rooms and private gardens overlooking Camden Square.
A spokesperson for a housing site told the Associated Press, "There's a lot of fans getting in touch about it, so we're trying to weed out the genuine interest from people who are just being nosy." | 2019-04-26T02:42:43 | https://okmagazine.com/news/amy-winehouses-family-selling-house-where-she-died/ |

German exchange group Deutsche Börse will introduce a new pricing model for users of its Xetra electronic trading system from 2 November in response to what it describes as the increasing price-sensitivity of equity trading.
German exchange group Deutsche Börse will introduce a new pricing model for users of its Xetra electronic trading system from 2 November in response to what it describes as the increasing price-sensitivity of equity trading. The exchange will also halve fixed per-order clearing fees for trades on Xetra from 1 July.
The exchange claims the new model will cut Xetra users’ trading fees by 13% based on this year’s volumes.
In response to a decline in Xetra’s average order size to €19,000 from €30,000 in Q3 2008, Deutsche Börse will cut the fixed clearing fee to €0.09 per Xetra order from €0.18 starting 1 July. The exchange said this would be particularly positive for small, fragmented orders.
From 2 November, it will further cut the fixed clearing fee to €0.06 and introduce a discount of up to 48% on all Xetra orders.
Under the plans, the exchange will phase out its Automated Trading Program discount scheme, which was introduced in 2004 and only applied to those using trading algorithms. It will also extend pricing incentives to all participants using Xetra 10.0’s new functionality, such as the Enhanced Transaction Solution (ETS) high-speed order entry interface.
Deutsche Börse said it had broadened the scheme to include all Xetra participants because, while algorithmic flow accounts for 45% of trading volume on Xetra, equities trading generally has become more price-sensitive, demonstrated by the increasing use of smart order routers designed to optimise transaction costs.
Deutsche Börse will cut transaction fees for non-persistent orders (speed-optimised orders that are removed from the book in exceptional circumstances, such as an outage) to 0.36 basis points from 0.48 bps for DAX stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and exchange-traded commodities (ETCs). It will abolish the minimum transaction fee (previously €0.60) and offer a transaction fee discount of up to 32% for all ETS non-persistent orders. The exchange will also increase the order size to which the upper limit of the transaction fee applies, with the exception of ETFs and ETCs, to €1.5 million from €375,000.
The exchange expects the effects of the fee cuts on total cash market revenue to be neutral. | 2019-04-26T14:00:35 | https://www.thetradenews.com/deutsche-brse-adapts-to-price-sensitive-users/ |
1) You are the kind of person that does everything on the web and may have a few pictures that are important. This can be the simplest. Have a thumb drive that you copy things to on a regular basis. Make sure you get all of your internet favorites as well.
2) You create a lot of documents and have another computer somewhere in case of emergency. This case you should consider an online backup service. For around $50 per year you can have your machine set up to automatically back up all of your documents anytime you are online. This way there is no forgetting to perform the backups. It also keeps copies of things you delete as well as multiple versions of files you change regularly.
3) Not only do you create a lot of documents you have a lot of programs loaded and you really can't be without a computer. You need a 2-step approach to backing things up. 1) Have the online backup program as described above. That way, even if the machine is stolen, you have the documents you need. 2) Have a program set up to copy EVERYTHING on your computer. In case of a hard drive failure you would be able to load everything onto another drive or a new computer and be running in hours instead of having to hand reload everything.
We can help you determine which is best for you and discuss costs. If you ever need it we also have rental machines as well. | 2019-04-21T15:08:45 | https://www.computerkc.com/computer-thoughts-blog/different-backup-plans-for-different-needs |
Wondering what to do with those old gun racks? What about a wrapping station?
Y’all there is SO much happening right now.
I know the blog has been a bit hit or miss lately.
Working through K’s leaving has been hard, and things around here have been busier than ever.
Another book in the works.
The Nest Project is picking up speed.
My Lenten Series at Patheos.
And that isn’t even half of it.
But Lent for me is about slowing down and savoring the present, so I am trying not to add more to my plate than it is already holding.
Which means posting may continue to be a bit spotty from time to time over the next few weeks.
But in the spirit of “leaning into the present moment,” I decided to show it as it is – in all it’s unfinished splendor.
As you know, Sweet Man and the boys are hunters (which I am grateful for considering the amount of money it saves us in healthy, lean meat,) but I am not one to have their rifles just hanging on the walls all over the house.
But I am also not one to throw out a perfectly good piece of storage equipment.
So the question came up – what should we do with Sweet Man’s old racks?
The answer was obvious from the start -craft organization.
One can of spray paint and some dowel rods later and voila! The perfect place to store wrapping paper, tissue paper, ribbons, and washi tape.
I obviously have issues with the top rod on the ribbon organizer- it’s thin enough for those particularly ribbon spools – it just isn’t strong enough. So I am on the hunt for a better option. But other than that this has been a great solution. | 2019-04-23T22:55:16 | https://jerusalemgreer.com/2014/03/11/make-crafts-not-war/ |
