Tag: bathroom design Kristen Thomas, principal designer and owner of Studio Thomas in Greenwood Village, subscribes to the idea of “less, but better.” A spacious bathroom evokes a luxurious spa environment, with the added benefit of jaw-dropping views of the Aspen ski slopes. A tub built for two is the centerpiece of this gorgeous bath remodel. For this bath renovation project, the team at TruDesign took color out of the equation with spectacular results. Caitlin Marsh of Lulu’s Furniture & Decor and her husband, Ryan, took a cozy yet unspectacular house and made it their own.

The Society has a large collection of Nebraska-made/Nebraska-themed sheet music. While cataloging some a few weeks back I came across two pieces that piqued my interest–mainly because the composers were identified only by their prisoner numbers. This sheet music has fabulous cover art. Don’t know who drew it, but it sure fits the music. The second piece of sheet music isn’t as visually interesting but the prisoner numbers pop up again. A little research shed light on the prisoners behind the numbers. Prisoner #7280 was Louis Chobar (aka Lee Vaugh) who was convicted of murder in York County and sentenced to life. Prisoner #8940 was Art Boyd (aka Floyd Denton) who was convicted of burglary in Otoe County and sentenced to three to ten years. ”Omaha, I Love You” was written around 1927 and I suspect the other was as well considering Art’s lesser sentence. I haven’t been able to dig up much on Art Boyd but our Librarian Cindy Drake has done some searching about Louis Chobar (at bottom right) and found that he was arrested for the murder of Albert A. Blender, a farmer he and his wife had been working for, on November 28, 1917. Although Chobar was accused of robbing and then murdering the farmer, he claimed to have been defending his wife. He was convicted of first degree murder in 1918 and sentenced to life. The sentence was commuted to twenty-five years in 1932 and he was discharged from prison the following year. While in prison, Chobar studied the Science of Music (composition), published several songs, and was director of the Nebraska State Prison Orchestra from 1924 until his release. After prison, he returned to Illinois (where he claimed to have been born) and copyrighted several more songs into the 1940s and 1950s but little else is known about what happened to him. Cindy is continuing to do research about the prisoner/composers so if you have any information about either of them, please feel free to contact her at [email protected] –Deb Arenz, Senior Museum Curator

For many years the cutting of ice from rivers and lakes was an important winter industry, especially in eastern Nebraska. Just when the natural ice industry began in this state is unknown, but by 1890 it was well established. There was a demand for ice for home use, the packing industry, and for railroad refrigerator cars. One of the largest and best known operations was run by the Crete Mills at Crete. At first ice was cut from the Big Blue River, but as the demand increased, two lakes were constructed on the west side of the river. In addition, a large icehouse was built. During the season 75 to 100 men were employed to cut and handle the ice. Ice was cut whenever the thickness reached ten or more inches. Most of the ice cut by the Crete Mills was sold to the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, which shipped the freshly cut ice in especially designed “ice service” cars to various icing stations along the railroad. As many as 100 cars of ice were shipped daily from Crete during the ice cutting season. The Crete Mills also operated a smaller cutting operation at Curtis, where they used the mill pond at the Curtis Roller Mill. Large ice cutting operations were carried out at Memphis at a series of small lakes. Swift and Company maintained a large operation at Ashland. At Crystal Lake south of Hastings there was a large business dating from 1893 when the Crystal Ice Company dammed a portion of the Little Blue River north of Ayr, creating Crystal Lake for harvesting and selling ice. A huge storage and loading facility was built on the nearby Republican Valley branch of the Burlington Railroad. Horsedrawn scoring knives and long ice saws, later replaced by power saws, cut the ice into squares. At Orleans the Booth Ice Company cut ice on the Republican River for a number of years. In addition, there were many small cutting operations which supplied local areas with ice for home and store use. Unfortunately, there are today few remains of the natural ice industry. It ended shortly after World War II due partly to the development of large mechanical ice manufacturing plants and electric refrigerators.

Newly elected NHL Hall-of-Famer Steve Yzerman has served as Vice President/Alternate Governor in the Detroit Red Wings front office since retiring in 2006. Hockey fans know that The Captain deserves to have a shot at becoming a General Manager of a NHL club in the future. He is even having his first chance of making real decisions over a hockey team as he is currently serving as Executive Director of the 2010 Canadian Olympic team. What caught my attention was a recent blog posted here that brought to my attention that Yzerman was hoping to be considered for the Chicago Blackhawks GM position, which eventually went to Stan Bowman, son of former Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman. Now, depending on how he organizes the Olympic team will determine how soon and who will want him as a General Manager. He already has been groomed in one of the best organizations in sports, but he is miles away from replacing Ken Holland as General Manager. The MLive.com blog also reiterated that Assistant GM Jim Nill’s contract is up in two years, and the Red Wings will be sure to evaluate their front office at that time. But it got me thinking, if Yzerman wants to run his own team, how would Detroit fans react? Me personally, I’d be happy to see him with any team outside the Central Division and preferibly the Western Confernece. Let him turn around the New York Islanders. Let him run the Phoenix Hamilton Coyotes. He’s gonna be facing a lot of pressure in the fall when he has to put together the Canadian Olympic team. He win’s a Gold Medal in Vancouver next February, then I think he’s qualified enough to run a NHL club.

Last week I talked about How To Use Your Colorado Vacation Home As Rental Property. I covered some basics about competition, management, and advertising. This week I want to talk about money! I knew that would get your attention. Contrary to popular belief, your vacation home may not be the million dollar a night rental you see it as. A good way to gauge a competitive rental rate for your property is to compare it to similar properties in the area. Is the sun shining or is the snow flying? Depending on where your Colorado rental property is located. The high season and low season rates may fall at different times. The typical high season for mountain rental properties in Colorado runs from around mid-December until the first week in April. Keep in mind that weekly rates may differ from weekend rates also. Would you like a few examples? A ski-in ski-out, 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo in Breckenridge can run from $725 a night on the high season all the way down to $275 a night during low season. Consider that Breckenridge is pretty much a year-round town. In Glenwood Springs, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo is only rented out by the week. There are 2 rates listed $950/week for January 1st through April 1st. The higher rate in Glendwood is during the summer months when people can take advantage of the natural hot springs more easily. For $1050/week you can reserve a condo with gorgeous mountain views. What is your Colorado rental property worth? If you haven’t bought your Colorado vacation home yet, you may want to check in with your local buyers agent to see what the rental market is like. When high and low seasons run in the area, and if they have local property management companies they recommend. In conclusion, you may discover that your dream Colorado vacation home would be a more profitable rental property if you purchase property close to a ski area or great summer mountain town.

Most of life is filled with two-choice dilemmas. For the most part, which of the two choices we pick will actualize who we are, as we go. Our choices—all of them—begin to define us as people. A creative person may cobble together a combination of parts of those two choices or sometimes compromise parts of those two choices, to achieve a later higher goal, but he (or she) will still reckon with the two choices, i.e. deal with the parameters of reality as is. In other words, a mentally healthy individual won’t try to defy gravity, moonlight, or sunlight. He/she lives in the light of such immovables. Conversely, your tell-tale sign of dealing with a person who routinely escapes reality will be to note that that person will not reckon with boundaries, at all. He/she will attempt to finagle his/her way around them, live as if they didn’t exist, or delay his/her confrontation with them on purpose, indefinitely. Often this sort prefers to run—either psychologically, physically, or both. Leaving town might be his/her answer to everything—or leaving relationships might do it for him/her, too. If he/she is out of control financially he/she may hurry to take bankruptcy as the path of least personal pain. He/she is a master at washing his/her hands of any implications or any nod toward even his/her own future. In other words, he/she will not submit to life as it is. His/her bolder methods of escape may include any number of options: drinking, self-sabotage, delay, drugs. (His/her ultimate way of escape, of course, is suicide. For many, though, the self-love is so strong that that avenue of problem-solving is not seriously entertained in his/her arsenal of defenses, except to feign it to exert a manipulation, if needed. For others it is a real option.) If you know of someone who seems eel-like to deal with, or who flairs (i.e. goes ballistic, or punishes you someway) when coming under real parameters or having to face real boundaries, you no doubt have some of this going on. The best solution is to pit his/her outcomes against himself/herself. Alcoholics may find their last hope in an outside intervention. For other types of humans’ problems, the routes back to health aren’t so clean and obvious. Nonetheless, one thing is for sure: he/she will not deal with himself to please you. It has to sting and sting badly in his/her own psyche to be of any value for a turn-around. Therefore, hunt for nailing those issues and having those discussions. Remove yourself from the middle of their equation; you’ll have more peace of mind and the other person will be forced to face his/her own dilemma sooner.

In many ways, you feel quite good about your current projects and daily activities, dear Taurus, but some things are not quite right that can lead to a feeling of restlessness, which in turn can result in mistakes if you’re forced to be in a routine right now. If you’ve taken on too much and find yourself juggling too many things, there can be a sense that you’re overloaded, which of course doesn’t help things. Although solutions may not be readily available, they’re on the horizon, and help is likely to come your way for meeting the demands of your work, projects, and other endeavors. For some of you, a stronger sense of purpose may be what you’re seeking now, and for others, a feeling that your social life or a project is up in the air can leave you feeling that although many things are good, you’re in limbo. Start small and work yourself up to bigger goals for best results if you’re feeling overwhelmed. You’re more comfortable today when interacting with others. Fortunately, previous resistance to group activities settles into the background, enabling you to be totally committed to a team effort. However, your participation with coworkers need not prevent you from tackling your own creative project now. The simple act of undertaking something for your personal enjoyment could unlock other more practical possibilities to pursue. Author Robert Holder writes, “Your relationship with yourself sets the tone for every other relationship you have.” As Mercury, planet of communication leaves your communication sector he leaves behind plenty of support to keep the communication lines open. With the remnants of shattered communication barriers littering the ground, you’re in a much better position, than you were even at the end of last week. The communication challenges of the last few days clear to reveal breakthroughs that now are possible. 24, 26, 30, 35, 39, 40

On This Page Horror literature has deep roots. As long as there have been stories, there have been stories about the Other, the unrealities we categorize today as speculative fiction. Early creation myths in all cultures are populated by demons and darkness. Early Abrahamic and Egyptian mythology resounds with tales of a world beyond the physical, a realm of the spirits, to be revered and feared. Classical Greek and Roman mythological heroes faced memorable monsters such as Cerberus, the Minotaur, Medusa, the Hydra, the Sirens, Cyclops, Scylla and Charybdis. In China, Ancestor worship and the veneration of the dead begins with the Zhou dynasty, 1500 years BC. The modern horror genre as we know it is only around 200 years old. A specific genre of horror literature begins to have form and conventions towards the end of the eighteenth century. Going further back, every culture has a set of stories dealing with the unknown and unexplained. These tales chill, provoke, and keep the listener wondering “what if..?” Modern horror films are the present-day version of the epic poems and ballads told around the fires of our ancestors. Although this site is dedicated to horror movies, no serious student of the genre should ignore the literary classics that shaped genre paradigms long before moving pictures were invented. The Gothic Tradition (1764-1832) The term ‘horror’ first comes into play in the subtitle of Horace Walpole’s 1764 novel, The Castle of Otranto—A Gothic Story. Although rather a stilted tale, it started a craze for overwrought fiction, full of supernatural shocks and mysterious melodrama. It spawned many imitators, which attracted the genre tag ‘Gothic’. Better writers than Walpole, such as Ann Radcliffe (The Mysteries of Udolpho) and Matthew Gregory Lewis (The Monk) took the form to new heights of thrills and suspense. The Mysteries of Udolpho (1794) Radcliff’s novel follows the fortunes of the plucky and resourceful Emily St. Aubert, an aristocratic young woman who has to find her way in the world without the protection of her father (who dies while they are travelling along the French Mediterranean coast together). Radcliffe writes evocatively of the wild landscapes of Southern France and Northern Italy: …the view was bounded by the majestic Pyrenees, whose summits, veiled in clouds, or exhibiting awful forms, seen, and lost again, as the partial vapours rolled along, were sometimes barren, and gleamed through the blue tinge of air, and sometimes frowned with forests of gloomy pine… After her father’s death, Emily finds herself under the control of her venial and superficial aunt, Madame Cheron, and her new husband, the cruel Montoni. Montoni wants Emily to marry his friend, Count Morano, but she has already given her heart to Valancourt, who she met while traveling with her father. Montoni imprisons Emily in his ancestral home, the Castle of Udolpho, and after many trials and tribulations she escapes and finally reunites with Valancourt. The earlier Gothic novels often centered on Romance, with horror elements (wicked villains, ruined castles, bad omens, ghosts) used as a way to keep the path of true love perilous indeed. As the Age of Enlightenment gave way Romanticism, poets like Samuel Taylor Coleridge (The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Christabel) and Goethe (The Erlking) reflected the strong emotions of the movement through a glass darkly. The Romantics recognised that fear and awe aren’t so very different sensations. Let The Vampires In Vampires began to make an appearance in poetry in the latter half of the 18th century. The Romantic imagination salivated at the thought of supernaturally beautiful women, hovering between life and death among the tombstones, waiting to seduce an unsuspecting lover. Goethe’s The Bride of Corinth (1797) concerns Philinnion, who rises from the grave after six months to charm her fiancé. In Robert Southey’s epic poem, Thalaba The Destroyer (1801) a similarly afflicted bride dies and returns from the grave on her wedding day (“But in her eyes there dwelt/Brightness more terrible/Than all the loathsomeness of death”). The first vampire prose story is published in German around 1800, although it wasn’t translated into English until 1823. Johann Ludwig Tieck’s Wake Not The Dead also concerns a vampire bride. The hero, Walter, is distraught after the death of his first wife Brunhilda (“a beauty far surpassing in loveliness all her rivals”). He turns his attentions to her sister, the much more mild-mannered Swanhilda (“her eye beamed eloquently, but it was with the milder radiance of a star, tranquillizing to tenderness rather than exciting to warmth”). Although she looks like her sister, Swanhilda lacks her passion and fire. Disappointed, Walter asks a necromancer to raise Brunhilda from the tomb – with some dire consequences, as you can imagine. George Byron’s epic poem, The Giaour (published in fragmentary form in 1813) incorporates a vampire. The hero (‘giaour’ is a Turkish term for outsider or infidel) kills a rival and is cursed: But first, on earth as vampire sent, Thy corse shall from its tomb be rent, Then ghastly haunt thy native place, And suck the blood of all thy race. There from thy daughter, sister, wife, At midnight drain the stream of life, Yet loathe the banquet which perforce Must feed thy livid living corse. Thy victims ere they yet expire Shall know the demon for their sire, As cursing thee, thou cursing them, Thy flowers are withered on the stem. Wet with thine own best blood shall drip Thy gnashing tooth and haggard lip; Then stalking to thy sullen grave, Go—and with Gouls and Afrits rave; Till these in horror shrink away From Spectre more accursed than they! - Stake Not The Undead: Vampires in the 2020s – Karina Wilson in the Los Angeles Review of Books, July 30 2020 The Villa Diodati, June 1816 Horror literature changed direction on a single night: June 17, 1816. Two major novels, Frankenstein and The Vampyr, sprang into being in the same room, stemming from the same series of conversations about the space between life and death. It was one extraordinary night in an extraordinary summer. In April 1815 Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted, propelling “12 cubic miles of gases, dust and rock” into the atmosphere. Tens of thousands died. The ash was a major global pollutant over the next couple of years. It blocked out sunlight and causing average temperatures to drop around 3ºC. The effects were felt worldwide for many months. Frost and snow through the summer destroyed crops in Europe and New England. China flooded. It rained non-stop for eight weeks in Ireland leading to a typhus outbreak. Everywhere, crops failed, causing starvation, disease, and mass migration. It was a dark and stormy night… The weather was still awful when Lord George Byron rented the Villa Diodati on the banks of Lake Geneva. He was accompanied, increasingly reluctantly, by his personal physician and aspiring poet, John Polidori. Fortunately, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, and her stepsister Claire Clairmont were staying practically next door. The two households whiled away the chilly evenings together. They talked frequently of the supernatural, of what happened after death, and ghosts. On June 17th, they embarked upon a competition, to see who could come up with the most fantastical tale. Byron scribbled a fragment, titled ‘The Vampyr’, while Mary Godwin (soon to be Shelley) got busy with a story of a mad scientist who wanted to defy God and Nature based on earlier evenings’ discussions: One night she sat listening to a conversation between the two poets at Diodati. What was the nature, they questioned, of the principle of life? Would it ever be discovered, and the power of communicating life be acquired? Perhaps a corpse would be reanimated; galvanism had given token of such things. That night, Mary lay sleepless…”Quoted in Dr. John William Polidori’s Diary, 1816 Godwin’s tale would, of course, become Frankenstein: A Modern Prometheus, published in 1818. Polidori kept Byron’s fragment among his papers and, a few months later, after he and Byron had parted company, he worked it up into a full length novel. The Vampyr, published in 1819, was mistakenly attributed to Byron himself. He inspired, rather than wrote it: Polidori’s bloodsucking villain, Lord Ruthven, was Byronic to his core. Victorian Horror Literature Some of the greatest mid-nineteenth century novelists (on both sides of the Atlantic) tried their hand at gothic horror, as opposed to gothic romance. Emily Bronte steeped her magnum opus, Wuthering Heights in gothic situations and sensibilities. Dickens wrote a number of ghost stories (the best perhaps being The Signalman, the best known A Christmas Carol). Herman Melville incorporated many supernatural elements into Moby Dick, as did Nathaniel Hawthorne with The Scarlet Letter and The House of the Seven Gables. As the century advanced, many writers turned to the short story or novella form to spook their readers – JS Le Fanu, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Wilkie Collins, Robert Louis Stevenson and of course, Edgar Allan Poe. Playwrights adapted these popular novels for the stage. Edgar Allan Poe Dismissed for many years as an alcoholic hack, Poe is now gaining his rightful place in the literary canon, and not just as a writer of horror literature. His terse yet suggestive prose style carries him through several volumes of startlingly original short stories and some heartbreaking poetry. He is credited with inventing the modern detective story (The Murders in The Rue Morgue -1841) and with being the first writer to explore psychoanalysis within a literary format. The funereal landscapes and grotesque characters he wove into his stories have become staples of the horror genre. Reading him now, it’s difficult to grasp how innovative and creative his work was in the 1830s and 1840s. Sadly, he was ahead of his time and struggled his whole life with poverty and lack of recognition. He met a grim, still unknown end. In September 1849, he was on way home to New York City from a trip to Richmond, Virginia, when he vanished. A week later, he was found badly beaten and raving in Baltimore, Maryland. He died in hospital before recovering his faculties and to this day the final week of his life remains a mystery. His influence on the genre is enormous and no horror literature fan should be without a Complete Stories and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe. Fin de Siècle Horror Literature As a Viennese academic called Sigmund Freud was beginning his explorations into the recesses of the human consciousness, horror literature took on a more psychological turn. Writers, building on Poe’s ideas, traded freely in madness. These horror stories deal with the slow unraveling of minds rather than external monsters. The 1890s proved to be a premium decade for horror literature. - Henry James plays with the mind of a nanny in The Turn of The Screw in 1898 - Charlotte Perkins Gilman weaves a diatribe against patriarchy (‘You see, he does not believe I am sick!”) into The Yellow Wallpaper (1899) - Oscar Wilde challenges staid Victorian moral values with The Picture of Dorian Grey in 1890 - Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897) spiced up the psychological with the sexual, creating an anti-hero in the Count whose appeal shows no sign of diminishing over a century later HG Wells developed the concept of speculative fiction further with his science-themed novels The Island of Dr Moreau (1896), The Invisible Man (1897), The Time Machine (1895) and War of The Worlds(1898). Wells believed there was a dark side to scientific progress. These narratives utilize elements of both horror and fantasy that remained resonant throughout the 20th century and into the 21st. Wells’ novels have been adapted into movies in every decade since they were first published. Most recently a version of The Invisible Man hit cinemas in 2020. Meanwhile, a new storytelling medium was taking shape, a blend of carnival sideshow, trick photography, and theatrical vignette: moving pictures. Filmmakers wanted material that would be popular with audiences, so they looked for stories that had been hits on stage. It’s unsurprising, therefore, that some of the very earliest movies have horror themes or are based on classic horror literature. Horror Classic Literature You Should Read It’s always heartening to see well-thumbed copies of these on a new friend’s bookshelf. Here are the e-text URLs of some classic horror literature now in the public domain. - Frankenstein (1818) – Mary Shelley. Often imitated, never equaled. - Tales of the Grotesque and Arabesque (1840) Edgar Allen Poe – full of absolute gems from the mind of a dark genius. Set “View Text” to “Biggest” in your browser otherwise you too will end up in an insane asylum - The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde (1886)- the seminal novella from Robert Louis Stevenson - Dracula (1897) – Bram Stoker, pulp fiction of the very best kind - The Yellow Wallpaper (1899 short story)- Charlotte Perkins Gilman charts female hysteria – or does she? - The Monkey’s Paw (1902 short story) – W. W. Jacobs – the ultimate in “be careful what you wish for”

Forgive me if I'm repeating myself here (which I'm nearly positive I am), but I consider myself a pretzel expert. Or maybe more of a pretzel fanatic. I mean, whatever you call it, there's definitely an obsession there. Thin, sourdough, mall-style or Philly-- I'll take them all. I worked at Auntie Anne's for over 6 years and I never got tired of those buttery, soft pretzels (much to everyone's surprise). In fact, working there has only made me want to make pretzels more often now, because I've realized that you just can't go wrong with a pretzel. You really can't. I try to stop myself from making pretzels every week and turning this into a pretzel-themed blog, because as wonderful as that sounds, it'd get pretty monotonous, don't you think? However, when my partner in pretzel-loving, James, was having his college graduation party, I knew what had to be done-- I had to think of a pretzel appetizer. And Mini Pretzel Dogs were born. So I made a bunch of these, and luckily they were easy to make because I wound up having to make 40 more. Nobody could keep their hands off them long enough for me to wrap them up to bring up to James' mom's house, where the party was. They didn't last very long there, either-- but it's a hot dog wrapped in pretzel; what else could you expect? ... Aaaand now I'm hungry. You can set these out on a platter as a finger food, or you can insert a skewer or cocktail pick to make a Mini Pretzel Dog on a Stick! This way of serving is great for dipping in mustard or ketchup without a hassle, and makes them extra fun and whimsical for guests. The pretzel dogs also do pretty well in the freezer. Separate the dogs with plastic wrap or parchment paper so they don't stick together and then put them in a freezer bag. When you'd like to heat them up, you can either pop them all in the oven until heated through, or if you'd like to only snack on one or two, wrap them in a paper towel and heat them in the microwave in 15 second intervals until they're warmed through. I prefer my pretzels to just be salted, but feel free to add poppy seeds, sesame seeds, or jalapenos to the top. Also, if you make a lengthwise incision in the hot dog, you can rip up a slice of cheddar cheese and wedge it in before wrapping the dogs up for cheesy pretzel dogs! Oh, the possibilities. Warm, soft pretzels form the "bun" on these fun Mini Pretzel Dogs. They're easier to make than you'd think, and they don't require a bread machine or stand mixer! You can make them with beer for adults or water for a mixed crowd! - 1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle room temperature beer, or warm water - 1 tablespoon white sugar - 2 teaspoons kosher salt - 1 package active dry yeast - 4 ½ cups all purpose flour - ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted - 1 large egg yolk - 1 tablespoon water - 4 cups hot water - ½ cup baking soda - ¼ cup kosher salt, divided or to taste - 3 packs hot dogs, cut in half to equal 48 mini hot dogs - Brown mustard - Heat the beer in a saucepan over low heat until it is very warm, but not scalding. - Combine the warm beer, sugar, and 2 teaspoons kosher salt in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top, and let the mixture stand until the yeast becomes foamy, about 5 minutes. - In a large bowl, combine the flour, butter, and yeast mixture. Use a large, wooden spoon to mix together the ingredients until they form a ball shape and pull away from the dough. The dough will still be a bit straggly at this point. - Remove the dough from the bowl and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 2 minutes. Then form into a smooth ball, spray the bowl it was originally mixed in with non-stick spray, and place the dough back in the bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise until doubled in size, about an hour. - Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. - Turn the dough out onto a lightly oiled surface, and cut off a finger-sized strip of the dough using a pizza cutter. - Roll out the cut dough into a long, thin strip. Place the mini hot dog on one edge of the dough, push the dough into the dog, and roll the dog up in the dough, leaving the ends open. A few centimeters of hot dog should peek out of the front end of the dough (the uncut side of the hot dog) and the dog should be even with the dough in the back. - Stack two baking sheets on top of each other, and line the top one with parchment paper or spray with nonstick spray. This will prevent the bottoms of the pretzel dogs from getting too hot and burning before the rest of the pretzel is done. - In a metal bowl, add the 4 cups of hot water and the baking soda. Whisk until the baking soda has dissolved. One at a time, dip the mini pretzel dogs into the solution, place them quickly on a folded-up kitchen towel to let any excess water drip off, and then transfer them to the baking sheet. Make sure the pretzel dogs have room to expand without touching surrounding dogs. You only have to dip and drip each one for a few seconds. - Beat the egg yolk in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of water and brush the egg wash over each pretzel dog. - Sprinkle with the remaining kosher salt, and/or toppings of your choice. - Bake in a preheated oven until golden brown, about 15-17 minutes. - Prep Time: 1 hour 30 mins - Cook Time: 15 mins

Tucker Omohundro, October 15, 2021 The board met from 10:00 AM until about 4:00 PM Wednesday. The meeting from 10:00 to 2:30 was to do two in-house GM interviews. The rest was a standard meeting to finish reviewing the budget proposals. This is really not relevant but explains the following comments. We did get time to have lunch. The board chair ask a question at lunch that got me thinking. The question was “what are we going to do if the assessment increase fails?”. I quickly responded, that we could not really answer that question, until we saw the vote. Here is what I meant by that statement: I as a board member make decisions that I think are best for the community. I was voted to the board to do just that. I ran on a platform to do things and a majority voted for me. To me there vote told me what they wanted. I was able to follow through on those things. Having said that, since then I have had to rely on what I, and other board members, believed the villagers wanted. That’s hard to determine when so many villagers do not agree. I hope this makes sense. The election results will again help me, as a board member, to understand what the majority wants. We could have tried to get bonds to fix our situation, but I think that would be the wrong way to go. That basically forces you to pay more with out any options. In my opinion that is not how we should act as a board. I personally know what I want, but it’s not my decision to make. It’s the property owner’s decision. If this vote fails, then that will send a message to the board. Please understand that message though. The message is that you don’t believe we need more money, or you don’t want to continue with the services that the village offers. I can’t tell you what services you want, but most came here for what we have now I think. We did go out and get a tremendous group of qualified people to tell us what we needed to go forward and maintain this village. That information is on the website. Please read it so you can make an informed decision. The numbers do not lie. I personally did not know where they would end up, and I am/was closer to the situation than most. I actually thought we would need 125.00 a month. I am happy I was wrong. For those who say cut the fat, I say we have. 1.4 million in upper level management salaries and benefits have been cut. No new projects. We also have set a policy that will make it very difficult for future boards to change where the money. That helps insure where the moneys will be spent. That’s the best we can do until we can have a declaration vote in 2027. Contrary to what many think, the villagers make these decisions. The BOD does not. The majority rules in government, and it also rules in the village. All this is coming from my personal perspective and not the board, as I am not speaking for them. This is for the property owners to decide. Please vote and make an educated decision. My biggest fear is that many will make their decision thinking nothing will change. No one can truly believe that a no vote will not change the Village. It’s not possible. I am anxious to see what HSV will be in the future. Thanks for reading. Editor’s note: This message was sent to us by Hot Springs Village Property Owners’ Association Board Vice-Chairperson, Tucker Omohundro. He has asked us to publish this message here on the Hot Springs Village People dot com website. The words the Vice-chair sent are stated above, exactly as he sent them, except for some paragraph breaks for easier reading. * * * Thank you for reading. If you like, please comment below.

Having originally been a Historian, Emily Garside fell back into theatre while living in Montreal. Coming home she did my MA at RADA/Kings College on their then "Text and Performance Studies" course. After a short diversion into academic administration and Secondary School teaching, she started my PhD at Cardiff Metropolitan University, completing in 2015. Emily's PhD looked at the role of theatre as a response to the AIDS epidemic. This work focused on Tony Kushner’s Angels in America and Jonathan Larson’s Rent as case studies. In 2017 she was able to work on the National Theatre’s production of Angels in America in various ways—from advising director Marianne Elliott, to education events, and writing an essay for the programme (“It’s my favourite”- Andrew Garfield, 2017). Her academic interests include activism and performance, audience research and Fan Studies. She's published across a range of interests/disciplines including Iain Banks, Sherlock Holmes, Location and TV and Punchdrunk.

These days, a lot of people make overseas moves for the company they work for, and that means needing to hire international removal companies to handle their household goods and other items, and get them to their new country. This can be stressful if they don’t know where to start or how to choose the right ones out of all the hundreds of moving companies out there. Check Credentials of all International Moving Companies One of the first things to do when hunting for international removal companies after making your list is to check out their credentials. For instance, does the business have the proper certifications to transfer property from one country to another? Do they have all the proper licenses or bonding? Do they know the laws pertaining to shipping of all types of goods? Are they insured? Plus, ask how many years they have been doing this type of service and get the names of several of their past customers to check with them to ask about their moving experience. Check if They do their Own Packing Services One favorable factor is if the company you are considering does its own packing services in regards to moving their clients’ property overseas. If so, it means they likely can more adequately do things like track your property, as well as are better likely to cover it with their own insurance. Plus, they will likely be more familiar with all the regulations for ensuring the goods are packed up and moved according to customs and other rules. Look for a Good Customer Service Staff You also should choose a company that has friendly, reliable customer service people who are quick to answer questions, as well as quick to find solutions for any problems and are easy to contact 24/7. One of the international removal companies that meets all of these requirements is Fastway Express India, so make an appointment today with them at 1800 103 8805.

Before the cards are dealt, the players place their bets. Each player starts with two face up cards. The picture cards are worth 10 points. Aces are worth 1 or 11 points, depending on which option is best for the player. One of the dealer's two cards is face up and the other remains face down to the end after each player has played out their hand. You can ask for another card (hit) or stick with your current hand (stand). You have the option to keep hitting until you're happy with your hand, or go over 21 (bust). If you go bust, the dealer wins, regardless of the dealer's hand, if any. The dealer must keep hitting until his cards are 16 or 17, depending on the game, this can also differ. Blackjack Basic Strategy Chart To perfect your blackjack game and completely minimize the house edge, you have to remember a lot. However, if you can just memorize the basic blackjack strategy rules, you will have a big advantage over other novice players. Following these rules will not always guarantee a 100% perfect game, but it will almost always go well and again, these rules are much easier to remember than the perfect blackjack plan. Compared to an absolutely perfect blackjack game, following these rules will only cost you about one hand in 12 hours of play. Although, of course, you can't blind yourself to this. The basic blackjack strategy and live blackjack strategy is of course accompanied by a number of basic rules. These are as follows: - Surrender if you have a 16 and the dealer shows a 10. If the table doesn't allow you to vomit, choose hit. - If the strategy says to double but you are not allowed, then hit, except you must stand with a soft 18. - Never take insurance. - To continue on options to avoid; never take even money when you have blackjack If you are dealt blackjack and the dealer shows an ace, you will be offered an even money payout in case the dealer has blackjack. For example, if you wagered AUD10, you will win AUD10 instead of the AUD15 for a 3:2 payout. If you decline the even money and the dealer has blackjack, you will push and just get your original bet back. So you don't lose anything anyway. Below you will find the blackjack terms you need to know to determine the right move in every situation. The concepts are in alphabetical order. - Blackjack : The best possible hand in blackjack. It consists of an ace and a card with a value of 10. In most casinos , blackjack pays 3:2. So, for example, if you bet AUD10, you will receive AUD15 if you get a blackjack. - Bust : Busting is going over 21. As said before, if you bust, you automatically lose. - Doubling : Doubling down or doubling down is when a player places an extra bet equal to their original bet and then receives only one extra card. You can only double with your first two cards. For example, if you wager AUD5 and get an 11, you can bet additional AUD5 and receive another card. Regardless of whether you get a 2 or a 10, you cannot receive any more cards after this. - Hard Hand : Any hand that does not contain an ace that can count as the number of points it represents. A 10 and a 7 is a hard 17. - Hit : To hit is to ask for another card. - Insurance : When the dealer shows an ace, the player can place a side bet of up to half of his original bet. If the dealer has blackjack, the insurance bet pays 2 to 1. If the dealer does not have blackjack, the player loses his insurance bet. If you base your decision on statistics, you should never take out insurance. - Push : When you push, your hand is equal to the dealer's and you keep your original bet. For example, if you and the dealer both have 19, a push occurs and you lose nothing but win nothing. - Soft Hand : A soft hand is a hand that contains an ace with a value of 11 instead of 1. For example, an ace and a 6 is a soft 17. You can be more aggressive with a soft hand because there is no risk of busting to go. If you hit on a soft 17 and get a 5, the ace will be valued at 1 and you will have 12 - Split : If a player is dealt two equal cards, they can split them into two separate hands by placing an additional bet equal to their original bet. For example, if you bet AUD10 and are dealt two 8s, for another AUD10 you can split your hand into two separate hands, each with one 8. - Stand : Standing or staying is staying with your hand and no longer asking for more cards. - Surrender : Surrender is basically giving up before seeing what the dealer gets. If you surrender, you surrender your hand and get half your original bet back. Surrender is the best option if you are highly likely to lose given the card the dealer is showing. Frequently Asked Questions Can I also play blackjack without strategy? Yes, only a blackjack strategy can get you started. Is a blackjack strategy good for getting beginners started? Yes, then you have a number of rules by which you can be guided. Is the use of a strategy in the casino legal? Yes, there is nothing wrong with this. Which strategy is most popular with players?

tv MSNBC Live MSNBC February 5, 2013 8:00am-9:00am PST big time taste should fit in a little time cup. new single serve cafe collections from maxwell house now available for use in the keurig k-cup brewer. always good to the last drop. hi, everyone. good morning. i'm thomas roberts. topping our agenda, immigration and guns. live at the capitol this hour, the house committee debating the road ahead for immigration reform and a path to citizenship for 11 million people. house speaker john boehner saying this in the last hour. >> this is not about being in a hurry, this is about trying to get it right, on behalf of the american people and those who are suffering under an immigration system that doesn't work very well for anybody. >> meanwhile, at the same time, the president is making his case for immigration reform with progressive and labor leaders. this afternoon, he's going to do the same thing with a number of ceos. today's focus on immigration comes just one day after the president took his campaign for gun control on the road for the very first time. >> we don't have to agree on everything to agree it's time to do something. that's my main message here today. keep the pressure on your member of congress to do the right thing. and tell them, now is the time for action. that we're not going to wait until the next newtown or the next aurora. >> and following the president's call for action, the first sign of bipartisan on the this highly divisive, a group from the white house set to introduce legislation today, to tackle illegal gun trafficking. >> republicans and democrats, for the first time in the house, were coming together, not just on common ground, joe, but i say, we are on higher ground. >> with possibilities for compromise emerging in washington, later today, majority leader eric cantor expected to give a major policy address to rebrand the house gop and put a softer touch on the gop's slash and burn priorities. now, it's something that politico is calling cantor 4.0. >> listen, i think we learned a lot of lessons from the last election. and what i would like to see us do, and what i'll talk about today, is really explaining and demonstrating why we are for the things that we're for. >> i want to begin the hour talking about immigration, both on capitol hill and the white house. and joining me to do that from the white house is nbc news correspondent, kristen welker. so, kristen, nbc's first read is talking about and describing this as flooding the zone. but john boehner really refusing to endorse the path to citizenship that's been talked about. so what's the strategy as we go down the wire here? we have just one week to go until the state of the union. >> reporter: well, thomas, the strategy is for the president to try to define and set the tone of the issues that are being discussed, before congress can do it. and as you point out, he does have a pretty strong bully pulpit right now, because he is exactly one week out before his state of the union address. and of course, the big sticking point right now between this white house and republicans is that idea of a path to citizenship. president obama thinks that it should not be linked to stronger border security, but the republican plan, eric cantor, does want to see that linked to border security. so today president obama going to use his bully pulpit. he's going to meet with labor leaders and ceos and he's going to make the case to them that immigration reform is good for the economy. here's a look at who he's going to be meeting with in terms of the labor leaders. richard trumka of the afl-cio, eliseo medina, lloyd blankfein, and arnie sorenson, among others. so those are just a few of the folks with whom he will be meeting this afternoon. of course, time is of the essence, thomas. the president believes he has about a year, year and a half, to really make movements on some of these other policy issues, like gun control, like immigration reform. as you know, he was in minnesota yet, pressing for new gun safety measures. so i think this is a tactic you're going to see this white house continue with over the next several weeks. >> when you say time is of the essence, because of 2014, the midterms coming up. and when we talk about time, we know we have just a week to go until the state of the union address. but we're also learning that the president is going to deliver the remarks this afternoon in response to the problem that's looming about the sequester. a short-term fix to that. can we expect to hear the president give any specifics about what he'd like to see done in this afternoon, in those remarks, or kristen, do you think, from what you're hearing, that this is going to be more about a band-aid approach, of kicking the can down the road. >> reporter: i think it's going to be a band-aid approach to some extent. the president will call for a short-term lusolution to avert e sequester. that economists believe could have a negative impact on the economy. so president obama is going to make the case, we expect him to, when he speaks publicly this afternoon. for congress to come up with a solution to avert that in the short-term, for at least the next several months. and we'll make the argument that, look, they need more time before they can get a long-term solution. something that extends to ten years. of course, president obama will make the case that he believes any solution should include cuts and new revenues. that is something that republicans are staunchly opposed to. they believe they should avert the sequester through a series of cuts. so this is really where the big argument lies. it is where it has been for quite some time now. but that is what we expect president obama to come out and say when he speaks publicly, a little bit later on this afternoon. thomas? >> kristen welker, great to see you. thanks so much. we want to bring in this power panel for this tuesday. joining me is jackie kucinich, maria teresa kumar, and republican strategist, chip saltsman. we have a lot to talk about, gang. and i want to dive right in and talk about what the president will be doing in terms of immigration, and when then that what got the president re-elected is the obama coalition. maria teresa, you know this best of anybody, with the work that voto latino did. and as we look at the numbers, let's show everybody, the obama approval ratings among hispanics. we look at the numbers, how they've gone up, gone up considerably from july of 2012, at 56%, all the way to january now at 70%. maria teresa, the voters out there that believe in this president, not only believe of the promise, but believe in the action of what he's going to be able to deliver on. but is there worry that there is not the consensus from the right. the right sees this as, we don't have a lot to gain, because we're just going to give into the democrats and that's going to give them the support they need to carry through more elections. >> what was interesting was, the reason that the republicans are pushing immigration now, they did see what happened at the polls. so did the asian community, another increasingly growing population. and the republicans realize that in order to fix and actually go and win the white house in the next couple of years, they have to win the latino vote. what the president right now is trying to do is basically tee it up for them. saying, let's create a pathway to citizenship for these 11 million undocumented, and all of a sudden the next day, you won't have a latino vote problem, you won't have an asian vote republican. and unfortunately, the republicans are right now sticking too much to their extreme right. because when you poll republicans and independents, they have a tendency of actually believing that there should be a pathway to citizenship. we talk about these 11 million undocumented, 5 million, roughly, came here as children, and you have 65% of them have been living in our country and communities for ten years. it's not that they just came across the border, it's that they've been living and contributing. now let's get them out of the shadows and give them a pathway to citizenship. >> chip, as we look at what the republican side can gain from this is a lot, because when you're basically on the floor, there aren't a lot of places to fall from that. there are only areas to go up from that from. and the republicans see that the latino community is one they should embrace. politico today saying, "house gop seeking path on immigration." then we get this quote from representative goodlatte, the head of the judiciary committee on the house side. "when senate majority leader harry reid says there has to be a path to citizenship, i wonder whether he's serious about doing immigration reform. you have to come at this with a willingness to look at all the options and find common ground." this is all on the heels of that bipartisan senate group that came forward with what they think is best for immigration reform. is the house really going to be an obstacle moving forward, chip, and not being on board? we know they've got their hearing that's taking place as we speak. >> we'll learn a little bit about what the house wanted to do with eric cantor and his speech, and the rebranding of the republican party. but first, thomas, congratulations on a big win on sunday. that was a great game. >> thank you, sir, i'm running out of purple. >> i'll send you some more. but for immigration in the house, we need to talk about what we believe in, and celebrate immigrants, and talk about how we do legal immigration, and make sure that people not only have -- the reason they break into this country is because there's not a pathway to get here legally. i think we've got to first recognize that. and if the house will start moving on that, start some bipartisan talks about that, i think that can be a good starting point for the house. >> jackie, let's move on and talk about eric cantor. the rebranding, the reimaging is certainly topical and eric cantor wants to be the new face of that. as we look at what his priorities are for the house gop, they're education initiatives, simplifying the tax code, health care reforms, and immigration reform. jacqui, these are all kind of popular issues that the right could take the lead on and gain traction with. but what do you think about eric cantor trying to come out to rebrand, especially, when he's been down this rebranding road before? >> yeah, we have seen this before from eric cantor. and you know, the fact that he is making this speech, to try to renew momentum on some of these issues, i mean, is something that he's been wanting to do since december, when the republicans rr pretty divided. but the devil's in the details with these kind of speeches. when you're talking about tax reform, i think he told "national review" that he wants to look at a family-friendly tax reform. well, when you have a budget chairman preparing a budget that's going to balance in ten years, it's going to be really hard to keep things like the child tax credit. so we're going to see how this pans out, because you can't talk about a budget plabalancing in years without cutting some tax cuts that are really important to the middle class. we'll see how this pans out in terms of policy, rather than what we're going to hear today. >> so eric cantor was on "morning joe" today, talking exactly about that. the financial aspect of what it means to be helpful to america. and you bring up the middle class. take a listen. >> i think where we have a lot of room to grow as a party, as conservatives, so to plain again why we're for the kind of fiscal discipline that we're for. what is the reality and how are we going to help people? >> maria teresa, do they have a lot of room to grow there in coming forward as being known as the party of how to help people? >> you know, i caution the republican party, when cantor speaks today, saying, i'm going to detail a speech of how we're going to rebrand. what i encourage them to do a little bit more of and the republican party in general is a listening tour. the fact that they went out in virginia yesterday and was talking to constituents that may not be the extreme right of his party, that's going to serve him well to actually start talking and connecting with individuals. and that's the only way that he can actually start explaining and translating his policies. but the republican party just needs to go out into everyday americans and really hear what their mains are. and when you're talking about balancing the checkbook, americans are suffering that right now. they completely understand the importance of being fiscally responsible. but we need to do it in a way that's not in the backs of middle class people. and it's not on the backs of children either. i think the more they can go out and have a listening tour and talk to everyday americans, the more receptive everyday americans will be to their policy changes. >> chip, is this all about making relevance the issue? it seems as if the republican party that wants to stay relevant, why not elect people that actually believe in what they're trying to tell you. are americans supposed to be that gullible to believe that they now have a huge, you know, come to jesus, awakening, of what they need to do over immigration reform, of what they need to do to help the middle class, over all of this stuff. are we supposed to be to that gullible? >> i think the first thing republicans need to say is, we're conservatives and we're not angry. they seem very angry and that's what they come across as. and i think what eric cantor is doing this afternoon makes a lot of sense. i like that listening tour idea. i think that makes a lot of sense. every issue that the house republicans are talking about affects the kitchen table, the family of four, mom and dad making those tough decisions. and every, that we talk about needs to be related back to, how does that affect us. >> didn't this election prove how tone deaf they are? a listening tour? they're tone deaf. the election proves that. >> well, there are certainly some republicans and some democrats that you can say are tone deaf. i think what eric cantor is doing is really focusing on what republicans believe and how we communicate that to a greater country and say, this is what we believe and this is why we believe it. going back to immigration, to win over hispanics, we don't need to change who we are, but we need to communicate what we believe and why that's important to them. >> my thanks to the power panel today, great to see all of you. and i want to point out once again, as we were talking about, majority leader eric cantor will be speaking later today. but also he's going to be a guest this sunday on "meet the press" with david gregory. that's appointment tv right there. coming up next, finding common ground. a bipartisan group of lawmakers reaching a plan for dealingi iwh the sale of guns. congresswoman carolyn maloney joins me next. plus, a huge birthday present for that 5-year-old boy who was being held hostage. and license to kill americans. michael isikoff uncovering the long sought after justice department memo about targeted killings. and that brings us to our question of the day for you. is the u.s. government justified in killing americans suspected of being terrorists? you can tweet me @thomasaroberts or find me on facebook. for over 75 years people have saved money with...ohhh... ...with geico... ohhh...sorry! director's voice: here we go. from the top. and action for over 75 years people have saved money with gecko so.... director's voice: cut it! ...what...what did i say? gecko? i said gecko? aw... for over 75 year...(laughs. but still trying to keep it contained) director's voice: keep it together. i'm good. i'm good. for over 75...(uncontrollable lahtuger). what are you doing there? stop making me laugh. vo: geico. saving people money for over seventy-five years. gecko: don't look at me. don't look at me. all stations come over to mithis is for real this time. step seven point two one two. verify and lock. command is locked. five seconds. three, two, one. we may not be able to prevent every massacre or random shooting. no law or set of laws can keep our children completely safe, but if there's even one thing we can do, if there's just one life we can save, we've got an obligation to try. >> that was president obama yesterday, urging americans to help in the fight for tougher gun laws. and later today, four lawmakers from both sides of the aisle will unveil the first bipartisan gun control legislation in the house. their bill cracks down on gun trafficking, which is part of president obama's proposal. and joining me now is democratic congresswoman, carolyn maloney of new york. she is one of the representatives holding today's news conference to announce that bill. congresswoman, it's great to see you. and explain to all of us first out of the gate, more about how this bill would work. and what you've been able to craft, how exactly do you feel it's going to cut down on gun violence? >> well, basically, thomas -- and thank you for having me on your show -- it will stop the flow of guns to criminals. for the first time, we'll have not only a bipartisan bill, but a bill that combats gun trafficking and makes it a crime. it's hard to believe, but it's not a felony now. it also increases the penalties. it is sympathetic we believe that can pass, because it will stop the flow of guns to illegal activities and criminals, but it protects the rights of law-abiding gun ownership, so it is something that law enforcement is fully behind and that they've asked for. they asked for it in a hearing last year before the government reform and oversight committee, on which i serve on violence on the border, they said, we don't even go after straw purchasers. those there people who buy guns and sell them to criminals, because the laws are so weak. all we can do is give them a slap on the wrist. we can't give them serious penalties. so they were literally begging for this tool to allow them to do a better job. and i feel strongly about it. i introduced it in the last congress. this time, we have two republicans joining us. we hope we'll get many, many more. it's common sense. it will save lives. and it is something we should work together, compromise on, and pass in this congress. it will save lives. the amount of violence is going up in our country, and i don't think anyone agrees that guns should flow to criminals or illegal activity. if we could stop that, we could save lives. >> congressman, it's certainly an approach to put some caulk in a lot of the cracks around the laws that are already in place. but i want to show everybody, the "usa today" has a survey that shows that 119 members of congress own guns and only 10% of republicans who responded say that had don't own a gun, while 66% of democrats said they are not gun owners. from a microcosm of just your colleagues right there on the hill, is there a cultural divide? and is that one of the bigger obstacles to meaningful gun control legislation, because of individual perspective of your colleagues alone? >> but we need to come together and break down any divides. >> this bill does not hinder any gun -- law-abiding gun ownership. it doesn't in any way hinder the second amendment. it only goes after illegal activity. gun trafficking, it stops the flow of guns to criminals. not to members of congress and law-abiding americans. i believe it's something that everyone on both sides of the aisle can support. and it's common sense and law enforcement is asking for it. >> well, congresswoman, you bring up the phrase "common sense." i think a lot of people want to know more about it, but is that clearly an effort on your part, when you hear that phrase, hear that phrase from our elected leaders, is that a way to try to get to the middle, to try to find the independents, to try to find the moderates. because common sense to some people is not common sense to somebody else. >> well, common sense, means to me, something that benefits america and doesn't, in any way, infringe on the rights of others. that's what this bill does. so it is a way of reaching out. we hope to gain more bipartisan support and hopefully we can pass it and save lives. the incidents of gun violence is growing in our country, and if we don't act to reverse it, we are not being responsible legislators. this is a responsible bill, again, that law enforcement as asked for and that they support. >> right now you seem to have support that is growing and continues to grow. we'll follow it for you. carolyn maloney, thanks for your time. coming up, republican senators still beating the war drums over chuck hagel's nomination. lindsey graham using the word "clueless" to describe his knowledge of u.s. policy. and there's even talk of a filibuster. what all this means for hagehag straight ahead. i'm a conservative investor. but that doesn't mean i don't want to make money. i love making money. i try to be smart with my investments. i also try to keep my costs down. what's your plan?

[ female announcer ] bargain brand cooking spray leaves annoying residue. that's why there's new pam. today, however, our immigration system is badly broken. but there is hope. this hearing and more importantly the bipartisan legislation that i believe can be enacted because of it shows that we are on the cusp of real progress. >> san antonio mayor julian castro speaking. and later, the president is talking about immigration as well. a secret justice department document is revealing new information about the nation's drone program. the memo states that it's legal for the government to kill u.s. citizens abroad if they're believed to be high-level terrorists. even if there's no evidence they're planning an attack. and it stems from questions surrounding the obama administration's controversial use of unmanned drones to strike al qaeda targets. now, at least four americans have been killed in drone strikes in yemen. how majority leader eric cantor had this reaction to the report this morning. >> we are going to be active in terms of the oversight function that we have in the house of representatives. i think all of us want to maintain our national security and do everything we can to work together, to try and affect that mission. >> nbc national investigative correspondent michael isikoff broke this story by obtaining that memo last night, and he joins me this morning. so, michael, this is being called a white paper memo. explain to all of us what is that. and attorney general eric holder said last march that it was constitutional to kill americans abroad if they were posing a threat of violent attacks. so explain how all of this meshes together. >> sure, exactly. well, first of all, the strike against anwar awlaki, both were killed in 2011. got a lot of attention because they were both american citizens, had never been charged with crimes, and raising the question, what is the u.s. government's authority to kill an american citizen, who has full constitutional protections, the same ones you and i do? and the justice -- it has been reported that the justice department's office of legal counsel, its official arbitrator of legal advice for the executive branch wrote a memo that laid out the legal justifications for targeted killings of americans who were believed to be al qaeda leaders. but that has never been made public. and there's been a lot of clamor from both the news media and members of congress to see what are the legal justifications for this? what are the limits on this authority? how is it defined? how do we know it does not get abused? the justice department in response to members of congress, refuse to turn over the actual memo, but they did provide, last june, this 16-page white paper that they say tracks the arguments, tracks the legal analysis in that olc memo. now, this white paper was not made public. in fact, it was turned over to the judiciary and intelligence committees under rules of confidentiality and understanding it could not be discussed in public. but we did, i did obtain a copy of the memo from a source who had access to it. and when you read the memo, and we've posted it online, you see that a lot of the legal analysis in there, a lot of the definitions in there do go beyond and provide far more detail than anything obama administration officials have said publicly about these kind of drone strikes. >> michael isikoff, great work on your part. thank you for bringing this story to our attention. and our question of the day for all of you, after hearing this report and hearing what michael has uncovered, is the u.s. government justified in the targeted killing of americans suspected of being terrorists? tweet me your thought thoughts @thomasaroberts or find us on facebook. coming up, governor chris christie confronts his weight issue and does so head-on with a jelly doughnut and david letterman. you've got to do it for yourself. the pollee side bar is ahead. ♪ i don't wanna be right [ record scratch ] what?! it's not bad for you. it just tastes that way.

i hope the obama administration will reconsider his nomination." joining me now, more to talk about this, "washington post" op-ed columnist, dana milbank. dana, good to have you here. and don't we have senator john mccain, and we know how this went down, several other republicans were very tough through that confirmation hearing, but they said yesterday they would not support a filibuster of hagel's confirmation, as threatened by senate republican leader mitch mcconnell. so would it be historic, or do you think that it's really possible? >> to actually proceed with a filibuster? >> to proceed with a filibuster, yeah? >> it's a theoretical possibility. it would be such an extraordinary escalation of the wars here in washington, which are already completely out of control. so, yes, they could do it. but just the very notion of them filibustering, one of their former republican colleagues, and not because they found him unfit to serve for some personal reason or related to his capacity to serve, but because they don't like his policies. and guess what, those policies happen to be the policies of the president who just won re-election. it would be an awful precedent to start. i would be awfully surprised if they really wanted to go down that road. >> but even for the audition, through that hearing itself, wasn't the most stellar. most democrats not pouring cold water on it, but not too proud of the performance of chuck hagel that day. >> no, i think that's true. he didn't distinguish himself particularly well during the hearing. but nobody's really doubting the man's credentials in terms of his own military service and his service there in the united states senate. although, perhaps intellectual rigor is not a requirement to serve in that body. but i don't think anybody seriously doubts his capacity to serve as the defense secretary. >> yeah. >> so, look, all odds are that he is going to get this job one way or another. the question is, how much do people really want to further embitter things before it occurs. >> sharp elbows might be better for the skill set there. i want to talk more about the op-ed you have on john kerry, and you write, "for a change, people were laughing with him, not at him, during his first day at the state department yesterday." and i want to show for everybody the reason why. take a look. >> here's the big question before the country and the world and the state department after the last eight years. can a man actually run the state department? i don't know. as the saying goes, i have big heels to fill. >> all right, so a logical question there. but how big of a change is this for the former senator? i mean, a lot of people who know him best do feel that this is the role he was born to play. >> yeah, i certainly think so. and he's been rumored for this position, going back to when gore was running for president. everybody always brings up john kerry's name, and obviously the circumstances didn't align until right now. but think about it, he was the son of a diplomat, spent a lot of time abroad as a kid. went off and served in the military, and was a foreign policy specialist in the senate. chairman of the foreign relations committee. he's basically been campaigning, subtly, for this job, all along. and you can just see the comfort level that he had there. you know, those of us who have covered him in politics, he's kind of awkward, a little bit difficult. you remember the situation with the wind surfing. you know, i voted for the $87 billion before i voted against it. he has some awkwardness in the retail politics area. he has no awkwardness when it comes to diplomacy. and you can see him really enjoying, flying around capitals of the world. this is what john kerry was meant to do. >> dana milbank of "the washington post," good to see you. senator bob menendez breaking his silence. it is time now for the poly-side bar. >> the smears that the right wing have been pushing since the election, and it's totally unsubstantiated. it's amazing to me that anonymous, nameless, faceless individuals on a website can drive that type of story into the mainstream. the bottom line is all of those smears are absolutely false and, you know, that's the bottom line. >> so for the first time, the democrat from new jersey answering reporters' questions about allegations involving underage prostitutes. he also explained why he waited so long to pay a florida doctor $58,000 for four plane trips to the dominican republic. menendez says it was just a mistake. hillary clinton's only been retired now for a few days, but her team has already launched a new website. take a peek. there it is. hillaryclintonoffice.com. and right now, there's not much to it, just a picture of the former secretary of state and a "contact" button. tagg, not it. mitt romney's son says he will not run for the vacant massachusetts senate seat. he released a statement yesterday saying, "i love my home state and admit it would be an honor to represent the citizens of our great commonwealth. however, i am currently committed to my business and to spending as much time as i can with my wife and children." then there was the "boston herald's" weekend reporting that republicans want tagg's mom, ann romney, to run for that seat. she has not commented yet, but republicans probably shouldn't hold their breath on that one. but there is one republican tossing his hat into the ring, congressman paul broun. he is one of the most conservative members of the house, expected to announce his candidacy coming up tomorrow. meanwhile, bill clinton says that betty white, that's right, betty white is the answer to the country's problems. >> having served as president of the united states for eight years, i know how profoundly demanding the job can be. so when i think about the future of this great nation, i still know that amazing things can be accomplished. but only if we work to elect betty white president. >> so now betty white turning 91, but the former president there, helping celebrate the second anniversary of betty white turning 90. which is going to be televised. and if you can't beat 'em, join 'em! governor chris christie showing that he can take joke by cracking some fat jokes of his own with david letterman. >> i've made jokes about you, not just one or two. not just ongoing, here or there, intermittent, but -- >> i didn't know this was going to be this long. aw this is tragic man, investors just like you could lose tens of thousands of dollars on their 401(k) to hidden fees. thankfully e-trade has low cost investments and no hidden fees. but, you know, if you're still bent on blowing this fat stack of cash, there's a couple of ways you could do it. ♪ ♪ or just go to e-trade and save it. boom. ♪ all right. so we asked, you answered. the is u.s. government justified in targeted killings of americans suspected of being terrorists? from joanne, "two key words in your question -- americans and suspected -- there is no justification." mk tweeting, "if a country from our person eats, thinks, sleeps, skp and kills like our enemy, they are our enemy" and from travis, "yes, when those americans join groups whose sole purpose is destroying our way of life and killing american, the government absolutely has the right to stop them before they achieve their goals." i want to tell you about this developing story. attorney general eric holder and other attorneys general holding a news conference announcing the government's lawsuit against standard & poor's financial services. holder saying that s&p misled investors that ignored risks, which to the financial meltdown. >> specifically, this alleged conduct is egregious, and it goes to the very heart of the recent financial crisis. >> standard & poor's denies any wrong doing. it's the first suit surrounding the biggest financial crisis since the great depression. all right. want to show you some live pictures from baltimore. charm city here, people. that's where they are celebrating the new super bowl champions of the ravens. now, a parade is going to kick off right there. you're looking at images of city hall, and they're going to go down commerce street, down pratt, and then on to howard street where they go to mmt bank. kind of know the area. fresh off that victory, ravens player is speaking out again about his advocacy for marriage equality. in an interview with hip-hop mogul russell simmons says being the first pioneer publicly accepting same-sex marriage in the three major sports was difficult at first, but the more people scrutinized and ridiculed me, the stronger i became for that issue." joining me now is chris cluey, punter for the minnesota vikings and another athlete ally in the nfl who has had a very strong platform to use to talk about marriage equality and also bullying in this country. it's great to have you with me, and i want to start off talking about chris culliver of the 49ers who spent the majority of his super bowl week on the defense over his comments about what it will be like to have a gay player on his team. in your opinion, chris, do you think he should have faced a tougher penalty from the league for speaking the way that he did? >> um, i think ideally the goal is to educate chris on, you know, why his comments were hurtful and denigrating to people because, you know, it really sounded like he was speaking from a spot of ignorance, where he just hadn't interacted with anyone who was gay or just knew what it was like, so i think the goal there is to make him realize why what he said is wrong. >> all right. one thing, though, you the 49ers got a lot of praise because they were the first football team to be awe part of the it gets better campaign, which was prerecorded messages to talk about youth bully and to second a message to young kids that could be lgbt that, it gets better, and they were, you know -- they were praised for this. now that video has been pulled by dan savage, and it gets better, because when thez players were questioned about chris culliver's comments, and they said they didn't even remember having made that, and they didn't do anything for gay rights. is it a problem that, you know, many of us -- we glorify our pro sports, our athletes in this country? is it bad when we come to you guys asking you to get political and intellectualize really hard conversations? >> yomg it's bad. i think it's something every citizen should could is take part in this country. i mean, that's something where no matter what job you have, you have a vested interest in making things better for america because you live here. i mean, this is our home. i think the reason most athletes aren't political and aren't open is because, you know, it can create a dis traction, and that makes it difficult to focus on your job, but the thing is that we have this platform in order to make a difference, and i think it's incumbent upon us to make that difference. >> you know, you've gotten feedback from within the own collective of your team where people have said basically to you just shut up and kick. you have not just shut up about anything that you feel strongly about, but does that embolden you just kind of like brendan was satisfying? getting the scrutiny only makes me clearer in what i'm doing is right. >> well, no one has actually said that to me on the team. i think it was more a couple comments from my coach were taken out of context, but no, it's actually -- the guys on the team have been very supportive. there's been guys that have come up to me and said, well, we may not agree with you on the same-sex issue, we definitely agree with you supporting brendan on his free speech, and then other guys have come up and said we support you and think everything you said was right, and i think a key thing to notice there is it's not just guys on my team, but guys from other teams have come up to me and said, hey, man, i think you have done the right thing. >> you have been using your voice for marriage equality. what do you think will happen legislatively in minnesota? >> well, i think that sooner -- probably rather than later gay marriage will be legal in the state because the ark of history tends towards freedom. people want to be free to live their own lives, and i think the key thing is that other people need to realize live your own life and treat other people the way you want to be treated. that's really a very simple concept, but it takes some people a very long time to figure it out. >> chris, i know you do a lot of work, too, without athlete ally, which is helping to raise awareness about breaking homophobia in sports and being a straight ally in that sense, but best of luck to you, and i know you have been healing up, but you're going to be good to go in the new season. chris, thank you, sir. good to see you. >> thank you very much. >> absolutely. that's going to wrap things up for me. thank you, everybody, for joining me. i'll sigh being back here tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. eastern. joy-ann reid, doug thornell and hogan gidley. "now with alex wagner" is coming up in the next hour. >> i don't have my ravens cap today, but i support you and your victory. >> i'm going to come over and give you my purple tie to wear. >> that is real love, thomas. >> you know, i did. i gave you a ravens cap to wear. >> and cookies, and i missed out yesterday. >> i gave you a face sticker to wear. i don't know what i'm going to do. i don't know what i'm going to do. >> that was fail on my part. >> i don't know what i'm going to do with you. >> both in super bowl and in my proverbial plat onic heart. >> let's see if you can cover some of the parade in your hour. there's a parade -- >> they will cut to it live. >> i'll forgive you. >> keep tuned -- stay tuned in, america. we have that as well as other things in the hour. president obama is gearing up for the state of the union with a multi-pronged push on immigration reform while congress is taking a course in citizenship 101. we'll get the lowdown from luke russert and joy reid, and the president doubled down on the assault weapons ban, but what can he and congress learn from 1994? we'll get in the way back machine. and president michael waldman joins us for a discussion in the gop scheme to prevent minority rule. the white rule conservative kind. all that when "now" starts in a mere 180 seconds. what we need are people prepared for the careers of our new economy. by 2025 we could have 20 million jobs without enough college graduates to fill them. that's why at devry university, we're teaming up with companies like cisco to help make sure everyone is ready with the know-how we need for a new tomorrow.

tv ABC2 News at 530PM ABC April 9, 2012 5:30pm-6:00pm EDT there were about five homes that were in jeopardy. people were asked to investigate but a caller scene as the pier was brought under -- as the fire was brought under control. we spent some time talking to people. they say the kids often go down by the water and they start bon fires. they say they saw them over the weekend. right now firefighters are not saying if that might be what caused this fire. we do want to emphasize we've been covering several brush fires throughout the weekend. this is the biggest one in anne arundel. we saw them in harford county and in baltimore county. we want to remind you, the state is under a red flag warning. what that means is there are very dry conditions outside with the very mild temperatures and also the low humidity, so you're asked to not start a fire outside and if you're -- it's very easy to start up a fire. we're going to send it over to wyatt with the very latest. it is, in fact, a very dry condition and very windy conditions. it's a bad combination. the ground in maryland is dry, unusually dry. winds from the west steady at 25. with that very dry conditions, the grass, the brush, the shrubs very dry. that's why we have a red flag warning and really a code orange fire watch statewide as well. so any and all outdoor burning ill advised. be very careful with outdoor sources of ignition. it could cause a significant wildfire. we're watching showers. we're optimistic they come in and bring showers but it did not look like a lot of rain. some beg changes in temperature -- big changes in temperatures coming up. if you own a ford focus, listen up. ford is recalling more than 140,000 cars. the passenger side windshield motor may be missing. the passenger side meter may not work, reducing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash. ford will notify own ares around -- owners around may 21st. theft is five times more likely to occur in a checkout lane. some stores have ditched the lanes partly due to customer service and partly due to shoplifting. the retail federation said new tunnel scanners would allow shoppers to put everything on a conveyor belt and have price scanned automatically, even on unmarked produce. the higher gas prices, the more you will pay for a car. the car shopping site said on average buyers made nearly $2,000 more last month than in 2011, incentives are part of the reason. overall, auto maker incentives are down and dealerships are being tougher when it comes to negotiating prices. baltimore is still feeling easter fever. the children of all ages, parents and children cam out to the 15th annual hunt. it is totally free and included arts and crafts, petting zoo and face painting. children got a clappings to see the easter bunny. it was sponsored by the department of parks and recreation. it has become a tradition in baltimore. for more than 10 years, the words an wheels showcased students. the poems are create body baltimore city schools from all grades. the most exciting part of the ceremony was when the children actually got up and read their poems. >> i love it so much. it is so smooth, love floating. it just makes me look so beautiful. i love the ocean. it macks me think of heaven. >> the poems will be showcased on all mta vehicles. domino sugar is make sweet history. they are row ceiving the largest shipment of raw sugar ever. just think of the things you can make with that. >> rosie, there's a lot to do before we can make some cake, right? >> this is going to be a look at something you'll see every day. we're talking about the inside of the domino sugar plant. today marked the milestone of the plant's 90th year. there are enough cups of sugar to make, well, let's just say a googob of pies. >> reporter: at 620 feet it's the largest. when they're done they will set a record for unloading the most sugar. it's going to take us approximately 16 working days to discharge this. it will be held in our raw sugar shed. we do approximately 6 1/2 pounds. so about two and a half weeks of operating for the refinery. >> reporter: it takes so long because three do this bucket by bucket. imagine trying to fill it up spoon full by spoonful. add in the wind -- >> the scoops, day to day, we can take anywhere from 10 to 15 million pounds of sugar in a given day, especially right now where we're digging the majority of the patches. that discharge may shrink. >> reporter: and then the sugar goes into a hop permanent it runs from the ship up into the building, so the unrefined prod falls like-- product falls like snow. it's for check at bars, candy and soda. >> it's a great activity for the refinery it. lets people know that manufacturing, in particular in baltimore is strong and that the business in the sugar industry is strong as well. >> one of the reasons why the ship came into baltimore was simple. the harbor here is deep enough to accommodate it. some of the other ports on the east coast couldn't take a ship that size. ships that size wind up in the gulf coast, so this is a big first for dominoes. roosevelt leftwich, abc2 news. here in america we typically hear the phrase "would you like fries with that? "but in japan they're asking would you like a bunny. >> and not elmo but adults on big wheels. you'll have to see it. we'll explain. [ glass clinks ] i just wanted to say a few words. my son and i never missed opening day. but with copd making it hard to breathe, i thought those days might be over. so my doctor prescribed symbicort. it helps significantly improve my lung function, starting within 5 minutes. symbicort doesn't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden symptoms. with symbicort, today i'm breathing better, and that means... game on! symbicort is for copd, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema. it should not be taken more than twice a day. symbicort may increase your risk of lung infections, osteoporosis, and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking it. [ whistle ] with copd, i thought i might miss out on my favorite tradition. now symbicort significantly improves my lung function, starting within 5 minutes. and that makes a difference in my breathing. today i'm back with my favorite team. ask your doctor about symbicort. i got my first prescription free. call or click to learn more.

Starting off with a few desktop printers, the long term goal is the establishment of large industry printers and other machines used for the entire spectrum of Additive Manufacturing processes, from polymer to metal. On the premises of the Marienpark, directly opposite the IAM Hub, the locomotive shed has the potential to host AM related events, seminars or workshops in a one-of-kind atmosphere. Spontaneous brainstorming with your team in a creative environment, workshops with 3D printing prototyping possibilities or hybrid keynote congresses with a relaxed evening event, this location with its flexible usage options can represent the new community and industry meeting point for the AM community of Germany and the industrial south of Berlin. From an exiting 3D-printing exhibition to state of the art conference equipment and large 3D printers – the locomotive shed welcomes you to an event you, your team and guests will remember for a long time. Once built, the Demo Center is designed for rapid technology benchmarking, prototyping and as a platform for multilateral R&D projects. It also provides the optimal atmosphere for training, education, research and development in the capital of AM.

During development, when you make a change your build system should build every output that would be affected by your change and no more. Incorrect dependencies can lead to building too much (wasting time) or worse, building too little (wasting way more time). Unfortunately keeping your dependencies specified in your build configuration is time consuming and error-prone. Tom Tromey invented a technique called auto-dependency generation whereby GCC can output a Makefile formatted file when it compiles sources that describes the inputs and outputs from that step. GNU Make will include these generated files, if they exist. Idea has been adopted by other compilers and other build systems. Unfortunately not all tools can describe what they do in terms of Makefile rules – they’re too busy doing whatever they’re supposed to do. For a long time I’ve wanted to build something that would observe file I/O and generate dependency rule files based on what was observed. I read a bunch of the GNU Make and Ninja source code, I researched loopback filesystems, I learned about various system-level profiling technologies. Then the other day I wrote a short shell script: strace-deps strace to trace the system calls that a process (and its children) makes, then looks at all the openat invocations (since that appears to be the syscall that a modern libc uses) to find the files that were written and the files that were read. It excludes uninteresting files ( /usr/, etc) and then generates a dependency file describing what happened. It needs to be explicitly invoked and the dependency file needs to be explicitly specified. My rule for iverilog compilation of Verilog testbenches looks like: So for a testbench strace-deps $@.d iverilog -o $@ $< foo_tb.v when generating iverilog it will observe all the file I/O and generate foo_tb.d based on what This isn’t perfect but it’s definitely improved my development experience.

Thanks to this agreement, SIA’s technology infrastructure will process digital and physical cobranded cards issued by BNP Paribas. SIA’s platform supports the management of payments cards of multiple commercial partners and includes also advanced services for the management and prevention of fraud and chargebacks, as well as solutions to speed up the authentication process for online payments while ensuring safe e-commerce purchases. BNP Paribas also leverages on SIA’s digital on-boarding and Open Banking platforms to enroll new customers using mobile apps and access information pertaining to different bank accounts, in line with the opportunities deriving from the introduction of Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2). Through SIA platforms, BNP Paribas enables its commercial partners to improve their loyalty programs with an enriched customer experience. Accor, a world leader in hospitality, is the first corporate to benefit from the agreement to launch a new payment card in France, with a progressive roll-out in Europe. The card, available in several versions, will offer members the opportunity to collect loyalty points when making everyday purchases and to receive additional benefits tailored to their interests. “The payment card market is undergoing a huge transformation, particularly in Europe, both functionally and technologically. Today, it is one of the major drivers enriching the customer experience and introducing higher added value services and offers. As a European banking group, we continuously innovate in terms of payment solutions to support customers with their new habits and aspirations. This partnership with SIA will enable us to roll out co-branded cards in France and in Europe, offering Loyalty programs in various ecosystems,” said Carlo Bovero, Global Head of Cards and Innovative Payments at BNP Paribas. “We are proud to have strengthened our long lasting relationship with BNP Paribas Group, supporting their cobranded card business evolution across Europe. Our digital payment platforms streamline the on-boarding process of BNPP end users, with respect to PSD2 security requirements, and enable the enriching of the customer experience by introducing higher added value services and offers,” stated Eugenio Tornaghi, Marketing & Sales Director of SIA. “This partnership represents a further step forward in SIA’s positioning as a trusted technology partner for the main European banking groups in the fields of e-money and cross border payment services”.

Are you looking for new places to travel to? How about checking out the top cities in Spain for your next trip? Spain, one of the largest in Europe, is a destination every hodophile wants to visit once in their lifetime. The cities in Spain boast their rich history, architectural wonders, remarkable economy, sports, and whatnot. The diverse topography makes Spain home to not only beaches but also majestical mountains. While Spain has recently gained much media attention after the success of popular shows shot there, La Casa De Papel, unanimously known as Money Heist, there’s a lot more to it. There are lots of fun facts about Spain that attract tourists to it. 47 heritage sites according to UNESCO can be found here, and just when you thought that it couldn’t make a history buff fall in love comes the fact that there is a Spanish Royal Family! The traditions and the festivals are unique too. Anyone who has seen Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara has wanted to be a part of the La Tomatina, the world’s biggest food fight, which has a funny origin. A guy started throwing tomatoes at his friends. Are you tired yet after reading about the vibrant life in Spain? Worry not; Siesta may be exactly what you need. History of Spain The origin of Spain is open to debate. According to the findings of Atapuerca, hominids probably traveled from Africa through the Straits of Gibraltar and settled in the Iberian Peninsula. After this, the region was under the influence of various communities. Greeks, Romans, Carthaginians, and Phonecians are to name a few. Later in this article, we will be looking at the city of Cadiz, which may be the oldest city of western Europe found by Phoenicians in 1100 BCE. The hilltops of Galicia provide us with traces of Celtic culture best manifested in the form of castros that were in use from the 6th century BCE to the 6th century CE. Even the Egyptians influenced Spain. The only Egyptian temple in Spain is located in Madrid. Known as the Temple of Debod, the structure has stood mighty ever since its construction began in the 2nd century BCE. Under the Roman Empire, Spain was known as Hispania and developed a lot. After the fall of the legendary empire, the Visigoths took charge, and that’s when Toledo came to be the capital of Spain. In 711, the coming of Arab invaders changed the cultural dynamics altogether. The Muslims ruled Spain for eight centuries which is the longest duration of rule by Muslims in Europe. The conquest of Granada by Catholic Monarchs ended the Muslim reign in 1492. Post this, the two art forms Romanesque, and Goth, gained prominence. Many changes in culture and lifestyle took place, and today Spain is on the bucket list of many people. Popular Locations That Birthed Inspiration The picturesque locations and the history that precedes them make cities in Spain worth traveling to. The very popular show Game of Thrones chose sites to shoot some of its important scenes in Spain for its sheer raw beauty. You can visit the real-life dragonstone and other Westeros-based locations. Some sites include Seville, Almeria deserts, Basque country, Zafra Castle, and the Roman Bridge. In Seville, we also have the Royal Alcazar, the old castle that inspired Walt Disney, making it another one of the must-visit places in the city of Seville. However, this is not the end. Northern Spain houses Santiago de Compostela ( the route to the place is called Camino de Santiago), considered the burial place for St. James and Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao. Here’s a glimpse into the seven best cities in Spain if you wish to have the best time there. 1. Top Cities in Spain: Madrid When speaking about the best cities in Spain, Madrid is the name common to all. The headquarters of the UN’s World Tourism Organisation is present here. The Capital city is located in the center, and being of great significance, the Spanish city is also a center to political, cultural, and economic matters. Football fans are especially attracted to Madrid, as it has two of the world’s most famous football clubs, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. The infrastructure is mostly modern but is successful in preserving sites of historical importance. The famous landmarks include Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace of Madrid, El Retiro Park (one of the largest leafy parks in Spain with a peaceful lake, beautiful sculptures, monuments, and galleries), and the National Library founded in 1712. Interesting museums such as the three art museums: Prado Museum, the Reina Sofia Museum, and the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, are a part of the Golden Triangle of Art. Masterpieces of Picasso, Dali, Goya, and others can be found here. Restaurante Botin, a popular food place in the city, holds the Guinness World Record as the oldest restaurant in Madrid. It is the most populous place and popular for its great nightlife. Spain alone is said to have the largest number of clubs in all of Europe. Madrid’s international airport is perhaps the largest in Spain. The vibe of Madrid is cosmopolitan, but the crowd is known to be jolly, which is also why it goes by the saying, “If you are in Madrid, you are from Madrid.” 2. Top Cities in Spain: Barcelona Barcelona is one of the largest cities in Spain. Of all the cities in Spain, the well-known Sagrada Familia church is found here, and various other landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudi can be found in the town. The architecture is amazing, the city dates back to the time of the Roman Empire, and it was earlier named Barcino. As mentioned before, La Sagrada Familia church is incorporated into UNESCO world heritage sites, and it is truly breathtaking. La Sagrada Familia is a relatively new cathedral as it is in its final stage of construction. Tourists visiting Spain visit this landmark, and it receives approximately 4.5 million visitors each year. Since it is the second-largest city, the population is about 1.6 million. Then there is the gothic cathedral, the Cathedral of the Holy Cross, and Saint Eulalia constructed from the 13th to 15th Century. Much of Barcelona’s architecture is modern, but it also has impressive modern architecture, including Frank Gehry’s golden fish canopy. The city has its best-known beach Barceloneta. It is a popular city because it has long sandy beaches and people who enjoy sunbathe and drink at the cafes and bars find this destination a perfect place. The Spanish cuisine, which includes dishes such as paella, serrano ham, and tapas, can be found in restaurants that specialize exclusively in these. The weather is good, and the quality of life is also improving continuously. It is a futuristic city. You can find LED displays at bus stops indicating the bus arrivals in real-time. The TMB app helps the users find the nearest solar-powered bus stop, a free Wi-Fi network, and a bicycle sharing system is prevalent. Spain’s cities know how to please a traveler, Barcelona counts as one of the top cities in Spain. The city offers a lot of scope for recreation, so a few days may not be sufficient to get the whole experience, but 4-5 are considered ideal. 3. Top Cities in Spain: Valencia Valencia is the third-largest city amongst the cities in Spain and yet another futuristic one with leafy parks and several beaches. It is a perfect blend of historical and modern culture. On the one hand, there is the gothic cathedral, and on the other, there is the modernist Rococo Palace. It can be counted as one of the most popular cities in Spain for being somewhat inexpensive. For people with tight budgets, it is a relatively friendly city being the eighth most expensive. Some people believe that Valencia may be dreamy and stylish, but it still doesn’t have the same level of bewitching charm on its streets as other Spanish cities. Paella was born here. You can eat authentic paella made with chicken or rabbit, snails, and white beans. People of Valencia love to party. This wild five-day festival is celebrated in March, known as Las Fallas, where papier-mâché puppets are paraded later than set on fire. The city of offers great nightlife as well. Its structures, such as planetarium, oceanarium, and museums, are a must-visit. 4. Top Cities in Spain: Granada For the binge-watchers who enjoy K-dramas, the Spanish city of Granada is probably a city they know of. In 2018 the popular Korean drama Memories of Alhambra particularly focused on this city in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range located in the southern Spain region. Granada is a worth visiting place if you want to chill out and visit iconic monuments. Alhambra is a fortress complex with royal palaces, patios, and pools from the Nasrid Dynasty. It is also famous for La Tortilla del Sacromonte. It is a type of omelet made with sweet bread and ham. You can also find fountains and orchards here. The Moorish fortress of Alhambra is a UNESCO world heritage site, and Moorish poets say it is a pearl set in emeralds. It is a major tourist attraction since it exhibits Islamic architecture (Muslims ruled here for 800 years). The night view of The Alhambra is breathtaking. A park attached to Alhambra called the Generalife used to be a place of recreation for the Muslim kings. Now, it is recognized by UNESCO as a heritage site. Granada lies right to the Genil river and, interestingly, has hidden gardens all over the region. ‘Skiing in Swimming Suit Day’ is held in the Sierra Nevada as if you are lucky, you may be able to swim as well as ski at the same time during springtime. A lot of parties, concerts and flamenco performances can be enjoyed here. A day at Granada if you visit Spain is definitely worth the time. For the best hotels, the city center area is recommended. A fun fact: the city symbol is the pomegranate, as Granada in Spanish means pomegranate. Also, since we are talking about beautiful cities in the south, one can find Costa del Sol. Two million visitors visit Costa del Sol for being a seaside town with lush parks and golf courses. 5. Top Cities in Spain: Cadiz One of the port cities in Spain (being the most important port city in Spain) and an ancient city, Cadiz, is located in southwestern Spain. It is one of the eight that constitute the autonomous community of Andalusia. It is the home to Spanish Navy, which makes sense since it has more than 100 watchtowers earlier used for spotting ships. The iconic landmark Torre Tavira is also found here. The domed Cadiz Cathedral boasts of its neoclassical and baroque elements. It is referred to as an underrated corner of Spain. The delicious seafood is to drool for. More than 150 stalls are found at the Mercado Central de Abastos selling fresh tuna, snails, sushi, etc. The nights can be fun with frequent live performances and dancing at clubs. The carnival of Cadiz is well known in today’s world. El Gran Cabalgata (The Great Parade) and La Cabalgata del Humor (The Comedy Parade) are the two parades of this carnival where there is a display of fancy dresses and unique costumes. This makes it one of the popular cities. This city experiences very mild winters and has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate, perfect for the beach type of vacation, as seen from the scene from the James Bond movie Die Another Day, whose scene was shot in Cadiz. You can bask in the sun during the early hours of the day to start fresh. After Cadiz, Navarra is one of the oldest cities in Spain. Over the centuries, its name has undergone alterations. When the Phonecians first found the ancient city, they called it ‘Gadir,’ and according to Greek Legends, Hercules was the one to see the city and named it Gadeira. In 1596, the Earl of Essex burned the city to the ground. Cadiz was often under attack by the English pirates. A famous poet from history who lived in Cadiz was Lord Byron. A poem of his was also inspired by a beautiful girl he saw in Cadiz. 6. Top Cities in Spain: Toledo The beautiful city has many associations. It is an ancient city and a walled city, also known as the “Imperial City,” for it served court to Charles V. The monuments range from Jewish, Arab, and Christian, making it the “City of the Three Cultures.” The co-existence of Christian, Muslim, and Jewish cultures gives a wholesome Spanish experience to the visitors. Since inhabitants hail from distinct religions and communities, one can sightsee well-preserved monuments. In short, the city offers an amalgamation of cultures. These include mosques, cathedrals, and synagogues. The Synagogue of El Transito and the Iglesia de Santo Tomé are two striking structures. Before Philip II made Madrid the capital of Spain, Toledo served the purpose of the center city. The very alluring Moorish Bisagra Gate and Sol Gate make way to the old quarter. The old quarter has the Plaza de Zocodover. Toledo stands by its title of being imperial. It was regarded as the holiest city in Spain according to the Catholic faith. In 1986, UNESCO’s world heritage site was declared because it has extensive monuments and rich cultural heritage. The city has the Gothic cathedral known as The Primate Cathedral of Spain, which is popular for producing bladed weapons (these have become common souvenirs in the town now). It is known to be a Visigothic marvel for its amazing exteriors and interiors. The tinted glass, when illuminated by the sunlight, appears romantic. Apart from this monument, Spain’s biggest bell weighing 20 tons can be found here. Resembling cute animals like little pigs and bears, marzipan or mazipan as they call it, is a sweet but not too sweet confectionary item is beloved in the city. It is made out of almond paste, has egg filling, and is available in radiant colors. As swords made in Toledo are famous worldwide, many passionate filmmakers prefer their props made in Toledo. Locals suggest taking a view of the city from the Alcazar, which is a stone fortification, and also witness the beautiful architecture of Monasterio de San Juan de Los Reyes, a Franciscan monastery. The street layout is considered confusing, so probably keep the GPS on if you are bad with directions. 7. Top Cities in Spain: San Sebastian The resort town and port city of Donostia-San Sebastian are situated in Spain’s Basque Country. Well known for its beautiful beaches and cuisine served at renowned restaurants, San Sebastian is a must-visit. People enjoy strolling around the maze-like Old Town lined with shops and bars. The city may be small. It still manages to host large-scale events such as the film festival and the San Sebastián Jazz Festival. In 2016, it was the European Capital of Culture, thanks to the international dimension. Water sports such as sea kayaking can be done here alongside other fun leisure activities like sunbathing. A panoramic view from Mount Igueldo is always suggested. Cliffs overlooking Concha Bay provide a calming effect. There’s an old-school amusement park and other attractions to visit too. If you’re keen on learning about maritime history, then make a stop at the Aquarium. One can see over 200 local marine species, with the bull sharks giving you a close-up. The vibrant city requires at least 3 days if you wish to get a taste of its incredible culture and the world’s best pintxos. Circling the impressive cathedral, one can find local eateries and relish the cuisine of Spain as light mellow beach vibes hill the atmosphere. It is about 251 miles away from Barcelona, so most travelers take a bus trip. Various Michelin Stars restaurants make San Sebastian an expensive beach city. Throughout the year, the city experiences precipitation much more than other regions. To complement yourself with the gorgeous landscapes, dress casually in light denim. A little into the history, we see the strong tradition of seamanship that developed here. Originally San Sebastián was found as a monastery in the Basque region, after which it became a fishing village. The seaport attribute of it came around the 13th Century. Towards the End… The European country Spain has more than just these seven cities to leave you mesmerized. Even the smaller towns can steal your heart. So if you’re planning on visiting someplace exotic and expecting a time of your life, your next trip should be to Spain. Beware of the bulls though, did you know one of the prettiest cities, Pamplona, hosts the bulls festival where you have to run through the cobbled streets saving yourself from the bulls. I hope knowing about these 7 cities in Spain made you feel like you need to visit them right away. If you think any other cities in Spain should make it to this list, let us know. You can share your feedback with us in the comment section.

Uruguay has been prominent in advancing innovative public policy, leading the way internationally in many cases and breaking taboos in others. Two prominent examples of international merit are the Plan Ceibal initiative, or more commonly known as the “one laptop per child “policy and the 2018 legalization of cannabis. Implemented in 2007, Plan CEIBAL aims to close the digital gap between children in Uruguay and the rest of the world. Its main values are to distribute technology, to promote knowledge and to generate social equity. In its first four years alone, the plan provided 450,000 laptops to students and teachers in the primary education system and no-cost internet access throughout the country. The success of Plan Ceibal is not only due to technological innovations, but also to achievements such as the creation of a training plan for primary school teachers, the inclusion of local communities, and the successful design and implementation of a monitoring and evaluation model. CEIBAL has been hailed a success on the world stage and has drawn avid attention by researchers from around the world and institutions like the World Bank and UNICEF who all seek to better understand its policy outcomes, including changes in student attitudes toward learning, self-esteem, and parental involvement. Uruguay is the first nation in the world to fully legalize cannabis. Uruguay has legalized growing plants at home, the formation of growing clubs, distributing quality-controlled cannabis through a network of pharmacies. The primary objective of this policy initiative is to reduce drug trafficking by creating alternatives to a clandestine drug market which eventually entails other forms of crime. Much of the research to date has focused on the 2018 implementation of the policy, its reproducibility abroad and the impediments to its success, such as US banking regulations that impede their Uruguayan counterparts and credit card partners to work with drug-dispensing pharmacies. Ongoing research is beginning to focus on the effects this policy has had on shifts in user behavior, public health, and on the clandestine drug market. - Interrogating the legalization of cannabis and its implications on user behavior public health, and drug-related crime - Public policy evaluation: Evaluating the outcomes of Uruguay’s Plan Ceibal.

Staunch Warriors fan, Alvin Zhakata has finally arrived in the Egyptian capital Cairo for the Afcon 2019 tournament. Aluvah, as Zhakata is popularly known, embarked on a gruelling “Cape To Cairo” roadtrip in order to watch the Warriors. Unfortunately for him, he was unable to watch his beloved Warriors because they crashed out of the tournament in the first group stage. Aluvah’s South African counterpart Msila Botha gave up after a five-day delay at the Kenya-Ethiopia border and took a flight to Egypt, leaving him to finish the journey alone. Writing on Twitter, Aluvah said, — Aluvah Legacy (@AlvinZhakata) July 10, 2019

December 20, 2009 Roar for Four! This particular 4 year-old requested that his dinosaur cake be "dead." the inside of the cake is red velvet so that when he cut into it, the dinosaur was bleeding... his mom had the fun idea of making it look like the T-Rex was devouring the 4. The teeth are smashed up bits of candy cane.

I have the highest praise for the wellness clinic known as Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic. Dr. Gray is very knowledgeable and listens to your health issues with an open mind and then gets right down to business finding the answers to your problems. The entire staff is kind and puts forth every effort to help you to a healthy way of living. My journey found this wonderful alternative health service, when I had begun to give up faith and hope that I would ever feel healthy and normal again. The inflammation in my body was so painful; I was to a point where there were days I could not walk. By changing my diet, I was able to lose 20 pounds and get rid of the pain. Helping me to get my life back included getting energy back. The hormonal pellets have helped, along with getting my thyroid condition under control. I cannot thank them enough for my happiness to health journey. After spending 7 long years in bed or on the couch, an interrupted attempt at suicide, and trying over 100 depression medications with horrible side-effects, that eventually put me in the hospital...From a recommendation of a physician to IHH Clinic and going to them for treatment my life has changed. Dr. Gray found and solved my problem of no testosterone in my body. She started me on testosterone/estrogen pellets and my life has changed completely around. My mood has changed dramatically for the best, I have energy and, best of all, I enjoy sex tremendously. Great, friendly, knowledgeable staff with no judgementalism. Thank you Dr. Gray! My story started many years ago starting with a hysterectomy when I was 28 years old, causing me to be on synthetic HTR (Hormone Replacement Therapy), IBSD (Irritable Bowel Syndrome with diarrhea), and terrible mood swings along with fatigue. I spent much of my life crabby, tired and running from bathroom to bathroom! Literally!! I had to base all my trips outside of my home based on where a bathroom would be available and trust me....it was awful! I had multiple colonoscopy's visits to gastroenterologists and family Doctor's to no avail. I tried figuring things out on my own. Maybe it was gluten, maybe it was dairy. I tried many things but nothing worked. I was having rage issues and hot flashes and fatigue. My description of myself when I finally made it to the Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic was I was nothing but a "HOT MESS". Ask my husband and he would definitely agree. A friend of mine referred me to the clinic in September 2015 and my life was changed forever!! I am not the same person as I was a year ago! Their motto "We test we don't guess" was the most wonderful thing that could have happened to me. Through the blood tests for food sensitivity I found that I was way off base with thinking it was gluten and dairy. It WAS those things, but also eggs, and peanuts and almonds and pineapple and broccoli and numerous others. No wonder just cutting out gluten and dairy didn't fix my problem! Why general practitioners don't test is beyond me! I eliminated those things from my diet in September 2015 and have not had any issues with my chronic IBSD since !!! I was so happy. I also found out the thyroid medications I was on were not controlling my thyroid as it should and it was recommended I go to a natural option and I was extremely low in vitamin D. Now my thyroid is at normal levels again. I was also tested for my hormone levels and the synthetic HRT I was taking did nothing for me and all my levels were low. I opted for the Hormone Pellets. Myself and my husband are so happy with the results!! I will never go without them again, I don't care how old I get. I had explained to my husband that most of the things I was doing to regain my health such as the pellets and the supplements, were not covered by insurance and we would have to budget for them. I overheard him at a party telling some of his buddies, about my new health regiment and he said "I don't care how much it costs......she's a different person". And that is the truth. I'm so much happier and feel so much better. Thank you Stephanie, Eric and your whole team. What a blessing it has been and I'm so glad I was referred to you! I ran into Molly last fall, and decided to sign up for health coaching. We first started with a food sensitivity test, which I didn’t know much about. My results came back, and I needed to eliminate a lot of food from my current diet (gluten, dairy, eggs). Then we talked about exercise, and got a plan together on this. I focused on cardio 2 days a week, and strength training 2 days a week. After this I did the liver detox and anit-candida protocol. When I came in for health coaching I was 242 lbs, and I now fluctuate around 210 lbs. I have tried to lose 20-30 lbs for the last 10 years, through all sorts of programs (Ferrells, Beach Body, The MAC, training for a half marathon, working out 5x week, eliminating alcohol), and this was the only one that worked. It is truly worth it if you want to change your overall health and life. They look at your specific body, what it can and can’t handle and build a program around this. I am very analytical, so to me, using Molly as a health coach just makes sense. The thing about Molly is, she really cares, and it shows. She has changed my life for the better, and I would pay a lot more that I initially spent if I knew my current results. The HCG Weight Management Program provided exactly what I had hoped and so much more. I had been trying to lose weight for almost 5 years, instead, I had steadily gained, each year, until I found myself 40-50 pounds overweight. I tried many different things with no results. I no longer felt like myself. And, then, I tried HCG. The HCG program worked wonderfully for me. I was rarely hungry, and most often when I was, it was mental hunger, not true hunger. My energy was great and my mood was improved. The program helped me understand some of my triggers for emotional eating. It allowed me to get a better understanding of what kinds of foods I needed to be eating, showed me that there was hope, and has continued to motivate me to keep up those great habits I learned! The program was easy to follow, I had great support and fantastic results. I still can't believe how much better I feel and how much better I look. I would recommend this program to anyone who has the determination to take it seriously, follow it to the letter and get as much out of it as I did. The HCG Weight Management Program is the only thing I’ve done to lose weight that’s worked. I was somewhat skeptical at first, but I read the study behind the protocol and it made a lot of sense to me. Expect the first few days to be challenging as you get used to eating different things and eating less. It took several days for the cravings for sweet, starchy things to subside, but they do go away. You’ll be surprised by how little food you really need, and how good you feel eating less food (but likely more protein). You’ll get in touch with the difference between real hunger (hint—you can wait to eat if necessary) and emotional/sweet-starch-fat-craving hunger (hint--it feels like you MUST eat now). There are a couple of things to consider: • You must be strict about following the food recommendations, especially if you’re trying this for the first time. You may find the choices boring, but you’ll also find some comfort in not having to make snap decisions about whether or not to eat something that may take you off track. • It’s important that your head is in the right place before beginning this program—you have to be ready to tackle this successfully--and it works best if you don’t have any travel or major events planned. Eating less/not eating those things you’re accustomed to becomes easier to do when you’re successfully losing weight. Weighing yourself every day helps keeps you on track. And in addition to the weight you’ve lost, at the end of the program you may well find yourself trying new things once you’ve broken your default eating habits. If you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked, I’d encourage you to consider the HCG Weight Loss Program.

Exciting times for Aykhan, aged 15 years from Azerbaijan as he attends a trial at English Championship club, Blackburn Rovers FC. Aykhan was spotted by the Rovers’ scout at IHM’s recent Showcase Event on Monday 21 October. Director of Football, Mick Brennan, was very proud to take Aykhan up to the Rovers training ground at Brockhall, Blackburn, especially because Mick has long ties with the club. Mick was Head of the Community at Blackburn Rovers FC, the club he and his dad have supported all their lives, prior to becoming a joint founder of IHM. “Getting this type of opportunity is great for our young players. It allows them to see first hand how they measure up against the best young football talent in the UK right now. Academy places are few and far between, young players work very hard to show they have got what it takes.” enthused Brennan. Aykhan is enrolled full-time at Abbey College Manchester, studying for his GCSEs. He has been living and studying in Manchester since September this year and trains 3 times per week with the IHM Football Academy squad.

The animated prologue for a live-action sci-fi short currently in pre-production. Zendra (Sophia La Porta) and Talia (Victoria Broom), two psychotic alien students travelling the universe on a gap year, visit a far-out dive-bar to ease their terminal boredom. But, unimpressed by the unsavory local clientele, decide to teleport random aliens to their table for an epic drinking competition. However, when you have daddy’s unlimited credit card and the entire universe at your fingertips, it takes a bit of trial and error, and possibly the murder of an innocent alien, to find that perfect challenger. Meanwhile, Jed, a young Scot on a boozy night out at his remote local pub is in the wrong place at the wrong time. The downside being the potential of impending death by being eaten alive as an after-party-man-snack, but on the upside- the beers are free.

In 1990, Congress created the Immigration Investor Program, creating the EB-5 visa category. Since 1990, a number of reforms have been implemented to guard against fraud and to ensure uniform application of regulations. However, on July 24, 2019, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) published a new regulation making significant changes to the EB-5 program for better or for worse. The new rule makes five primary changes: - It raises the minimum investment amounts; In the first ever change to the minimum investment amounts, the new rule raises the non-TEA minimum investment amount from $1 million to $1.8 million, and it raises the TEA minimum investment amount from $500,000 to $900,000. The rule also sets forth a new provision stating that the minimum investment amounts will automatically adjust for inflation every five years based on Congress’s established initial minimum investment of $1,000,000. - It revises standards for determining Targeted Employment Area (“TEA”) designations and makes USCIS (rather than states) directly responsible for managing said designations; The new rule makes it more difficult to manipulate high-unemployment areas for investment purposes. States will no longer be able to designate certain geographic and political subdivisions as high-unemployment areas. The rule specifies that the Department of Homeland Security (rather than states) will now make the designation of high-unemployment areas based on its own revised requirements to ensure that investments are directed at areas most in need of investment. From now own, “high unemployment areas” will only include cities and towns with a population of 20,000 or more (outside of Metropolitan Statistical Areas (“MSA”)). - It clarifies procedure for removal of conditions on permanent residence; and The new rule also requires certain derivative family members who are lawful permanent residents to independently file to remove their conditions unless said family members were included in the principal investor’s petition to remove conditions. - It allows EB-5 petitioners to retain their priority date under certain circumstances. Under the new rule, if the investor has a previously approved EB-5 immigrant petition, they will generally be able to retain their priority date from the previously approved petition when a new EB-5 petition is needed, with certain exceptions. Note that the Form I-526 must be approved for an EB-5 petitioner to retain the priority date associate with that petition. The priority date will not attach merely by filing the EB-5 petition. Further, priority dates are not transferable to other applicants and cannot be retained for further use once the petitioner has used the priority date to become a conditional permanent resident. These changes will all become effective for applications filed on or after November 21, 2019. Further, beginning October 1, 2024, and every five years thereafter, the required investment amount will automatically adjust for inflation. If you or your loved ones have questions or concerns about the EB-5 process, do not hesitate to consult with one of our expert attorneys at Kuck | Baxter Immigration.

For example, if my husband says something like, "What do you want to do for dinner?" And I reply, "Did you think I was in charge of dinner?" I'm talking to the voice in my head that told me I was at fault for not having pre-planned dinner. My husband isn't the one who said anything about whether I should've planned it. The more I think about the voice in my head, the more I notice it says all kinds of negative things about my performance, how I look, what I say, and more. I have also realized that I say quite a few things to others—my friends, co-workers, and neighbors—in response to this voice instead of responding to what they say. This has commonly become known in culture today as "negative self-talk." I call it the inner critic. Either way, it's a good bet that we all have a bit of a critic inside ourselves. In his book, The 4:8 Principle, Tommy Newberry writes, "Research indicates that the average person thinks approximately fifty thousand thoughts per day. This is either good or bad news because every thought moves you toward your God-given potential or away from it." Our thoughts are essential. They determine how we act in the world, how we love, how successful we are, and how we show up. So the battle against the inner critic, or negative self-talk, is worthwhile and can shape your entire life. Here are a few simple ways to start becoming more aware of your inner critic and begin to put it in its place. Start to think about your thoughts. Kind of meta, right? The next time you're in the car alone, drive in silence and begin to listen to your thoughts. Identify which thoughts are negative about yourself, your performance, or even the world around you. They might say, "You're not good enough for that promotion." Or "You can't do that." Or "You should've said something funnier or smarter." They might even sound like, "you have no control." This is your inner critic. Once you get good at identifying the critic, you can start to recognize it faster. This helps create separation between you and the negative thoughts that you are having. You might want to name the critical voice to create even greater divergence. Talk back to the critical voice. You can debunk what the critic is saying and poke holes in its arguments. Why did you receive it if you aren't good enough for that promotion? Did that person you were talking to indicate that what you said wasn't smart enough? No, they didn't. Did your husband say that you should've been the one to plan dinner? No, he didn't. Disagree with the critic, and that voice gets a little quieter. Actively choose positive thoughts. This might seem strange at first, like speaking to a child, but the more you do it, the more normal it will seem. You notice the negative thought, talk back to it, then replace it with a positive idea instead. For example, if you tell yourself that you did deserve that promotion, you're going to do the job well. You also tell yourself that you're intelligent and funny. You tell yourself that you're good enough. You can also visualize yourself doing well at the new job that you just received. You can see yourself doing the thing that the critic told you that you can't. You can see yourself experiencing more joy as you combat the inner critic. Do it over and over. It will take time and practice before you start seeing fundamental transformation in your thoughts and life. It's worth it. If you go a whole day without challenging the critic or even an entire week, don't let that discourage you. Try again. The more you do this, the better you will be at it, and the quieter and quieter the critic becomes.

Is Clenbutrol illegal in Australia? The hormones create quite an impact on human body. The growth hormones help to develop the human body physically and transform it from a baby to an adult. The sex hormones play another important part helping primarily in reproduction. The natural hormones are produced in the human body through different hormone producing glands, like the pituitary, the thyroid and the adrenal gland. Synthetic steroids come in use when a certain hormone is lacking in an individual and that needs to be replaced externally to treat certain medical conditions. Different forms of synthetic steroids have different uses and effects on human body. Clenbuterol is a product by which anybody can achieve a toned and fat-free body in a very short time. Although illegal selling of Clenbuterol is illegal here in Australia, there are few countries where the steroid laws are less stringent and the drug can be imported from these countries. Clenbuterol was initially produced to treat a certain breathing condition in humans, such as acute asthma. The product proved to be very effective in stimulating the Beta-2 receptors residing on human muscles and providing instant relief to the patients suffering from the condition. More into it, this drug has an added advantage. The stimulating effect increases the body temperature at the cellular level causing body’s metabolic rate to increase. This eventually forces the body to burn the accumulated fat and helps to develop a lean body. More and more people across the world are opting for Clenbuterol as an easy option to reduce fat and get the desired slim and trim body. Obesity is like an epidemic in the developed countries that leads to so many diseases. Obese people try out so many things to get rid of the rigid fat. They join a gym, exercise, control food intake etc. Some are more desperate to lose fat fast and take medications, go for surgeries etc. Clenbuterol is a supplement that helps to reduce the body fat and gets a lean look within a very short time. It can also be used to increase stamina and boost performance. Unlike other steroids, Clenbuterol is a legal drug in other countries and can be bought anywhere over-the-counter without a medical prescription. But, buying and selling Clenbuterol is illegal here in Australia and is used only to treat certain breathing conditions of horses. Anyone, who wants to use Clenbuterol needs to look for it outside the country and order for the same. The drug can be bought from locations such as Eastern Europe, Canada or the United States. It is also available in the online shops and easily available for doorstep delivery. Buying the same from China and other south Asian countries should be avoided as most often they don’t disclose the location on the seller’s website, from where the drug is procured and shipped from. It is highly recommended for the buyers to check the distribution network and the location from where the product has been shipped to get 100% authentic product.

Samantha Ruth Prabhu is a popular name in the South Indian film industry, having starred in several successful films over the years. Recently, her new film Shaakuntalam failed to perform well at the box office, and a producer named Chitti Babu made an uncharitable comment about her career. However, Samantha proved that she knows how to give it back like a boss. In his comment, Chitti Babu claimed that Samantha was trying to "gain sympathy" by talking about her myositis diagnosis and that "the heroine is finished and she cannot get back to stardom again." This was a rude and insensitive remark, especially considering that Samantha has been quite open about her struggles with the disease. Samantha's initial response to the failure of Shaakuntalam was a quote from the Bhagavad Gita. However, she recently took to her Instagram story to share a screenshot from a Google search. The search was about how people can have hair growing from their ears, and the answer was attributed to "increased testosterone." Samantha added the hashtag "#IYKYK (If you know, you know)," indicating that the post was aimed at Chitti Babu. This response from Samantha was a witty and effective way of shutting down the producer's insensitive comments. It also showed that Samantha is not one to back down when faced with criticism or negativity. She knows how to give it back like a boss. As per Koimoi, while speaking to Filmy Looks, Chittibabu said, "Samantha Ruth Prabhu did Oo Antava item song in Pushpa The Rise after her divorce. She did it for her livelihood. After losing the status of a star heroine, she is doing whatever offers she is getting. Her career as the heroine is finished and she cannot get back to stardom again. She should continue her journey doing the offers she gets."

This all happened a long time ago. I was at work and doing what I still get a lot of pleasure in doing....... no! not that...... although of course I still engage in that particular activity when the real thing isn't available as most adults do I should imagine! No, I was observing the women in the office who I had the pleasure to work with and imagining them engaged in the sort of thing we all fantasise about from time to time!. I've mentioned this before in other stories, but I've always derived a lot of satisfaction in watching members of the female sex doing 'everyday' things; breasts bouncing, buttocks rippling, the way you can spot the style of knickers they're wearing under tight trousers and sometimes, skirts, the way their nipples stand out when they least want them to! That sort of thing! One of my colleagues was a lady who was ten years my senior in that she was around 35 when I was 25. God, now that I'm in my 50's I look back at the opportunities I had a quarter of a century ago and ask myself 'Did I make the most of things in those days?' I have to confess though, that 'Yes, I probably did!'..... but I'd love to have those sort of opportunities back on a regular basis. A guy always needs more sex than he can get! Anyway, this woman of 35 was on the large side. I've put on weight myself over the years but at 25 was reasonably fit. I played a lot of cricket and rugby and also went in for competitive sailing. If I did it now I'd probably have a coronary. However, I really fancied her and used to follow her around the office looking for opportunities to catch sight of her bottom in tightly stretched pants and the occasional glimpse of cleavage when she bent forward. Looking back I'm sure she knew perfectly well what I was doing, but at the time I imagined I was so fucking clever! We had a filing room which was full of ceiling high racks with hundreds of files, this being in the days before computers were so common. She went to get a file and I casually followed her in. There was no sign of her so she had to be at the far end. I walked down there glancing down each aisle as I passed the end of it. About four from the end, I found her....... or in reality, she found me. As I approached the end of the aisle where she was waiting, she suddenly appeared in front of me so that I walked straight into her. I mean that literally; I bounced off her tits...... and I mean that literally as well because she'd taken off her bra and her magnificent breasts were clearly visible under the top she was wearing.... a sort of white muslin semi-transparent material with solid white bits in it..... women will know what I mean. Her large stiff brown nipples were straining against the material and as she looked down at my bulge I knew she could see my excitement. Anyway, a couple of seconds later she was feeling it, first through my trousers and then with the zip down, through my underpants and then ..... just feeling it! I backed her down the aise to the wall at the end and placed my hand inside her top and squeezed her nipples and then undoing the buttons on her top fondled her tits as I stooped down and sucked them. I came up slowly and kissed her full on the lips, forcing my tongue between them and reaching down to the hem of her skirt, rasied it before putting my hand underneath and into the top of her tight's waistband and so easing my fingers into her kinckers where I could feel the silky mesh of her pubic bush. I gasped as she squeezed my cock at the same time as I gripped her clit between forefinger and thumb and just as things were starting to get interesting, the door to the filing room opened and we heard someone walking down to where we were standing. If you've ever had that feeling that your heart has stopped beating, you'll know how I felt!. Please don't come right down here. I was thinking. Please find what you've come for higher up the room! But 'no'. Of course she (and it WAS a 'she) came marching straight down to where we were...... but when she came straight round the corner and I saw my 'friend' whose name was 'Janet' grinning up at me I knew I'd been set up by two women in their mid to late thirties and for the first time I began to get a little worried. Apart from anything else they were sisters! 'Well now, what are you two doing?' she enquired with a grin on her face addiing, 'as,if I didn't know' 'You haven't given the poor bugger enough time' said Janet, making me feel really inadequate. 'Oh I'm sure that's not very fair' said Margaret and anyway he'll have to save his strength now that he's got two of us down here' and so saying, she also took off her bra. Margaret was built to the same design as her sister but her stiffening nipples were pink! She was also a few years older being around 39. She immediately took things a stage further by pulling up her skirt revealing stockings and suspenders not tights and pulling me towards her and at the same time pulling her knickers partly down so that my erection rode up her belly over her equally densly forested mound. As I kissed her I allowed my hands to roam round the back and so clasped a buttock in each hand and pulled the centre of our bodies together! This drew a snort of protest from Janet who squealed something about me having come after her first and she wanted first fuck...... but it had all got a little heavy for me and they could sense that I didn't want to go through with it, so Margaret played her Ace. 'What are you doing tonight?' she asked innocently 'Well, nothing important' I replied cautiously 'And I'm sure I can get away for a night' said Janet 'So that's settled then' said Margaret I had a distinct feeling that I had totally lost all control of the situation. At around 5.30 both women appeared at my desk and said they were ready to leave. I lived on my own at the time so had no excuses to make to anyone. Margaret was divorced and Janet was married to a guy who worked away from home, I learned as we drove back to Margaret's house. What I really wasn't expecting was that Margaret's 19 year old daughter lived withn her mother and that she woulod be sitting on the sofa watching TV when we got in. It was also rather obvious that she knew we were coming and presumably why we were coming! My two colleagues vanished upstairs to change into more comfortable clothing but the daughter, Megan, had already done this and she wasted no time in showing me. When her Mum and her friend appeared in the lounge, Megan was stroking my cock outside my trousers with her skirt up around her waist and her other hand inside her knickers, lazily feeling her own cunt. I was spreadeagled across the sofa wondering how I was going to be able to satisfy all three of them all night . I was shown how J and M had dressed up for the occasion, but first I was pulled to my feet and stripped to my boxer shorts and then pushed back down on the sofa. Margaret pulleed her skirt up and her knickers down and off and squatted down over my face as Janet knelt on the floor between my legs and having pulled my shorts down started to lick my cock and balls with slow, wet, licks. I had a fantastic view as I looked up at that magnificent arse with that hugely hairy cunt straining open just above my face. I strained my tongue upwards until the tip just brushed the pubic hair around her outer cunt lips and when she felt it, she lowered her body down just a tantalising fraction so that my tongue could brush her labia properly. The smell of her cunt and strained open bottom was overpowering, not in an unclean sense, because she'd just had a shower, but in one of sexual readiness and when her cunt squashed down fully on my face with my tongue probing deep inside that well lubricated sticky wetness it was all I could do to stay in control! Janet wasn't helping much either She was still working on my cock and balls and slipping her mouth completely over the head of my cock and down the shaft on an increasingly regular motion. The way she allowed her mouth to fill with saliva and let it run down the shaft before licking it up the full length was mind blowing. I was also reaching out with one hand to fondle Janet's ample bottom and stroke her bottom hole and cunt with one finger while the other hand was in use tweaking Megan's left breast and rock hard nipple. Eventually, Megan got up and moving behind her mother began to rub her tits on her back and at the same time fondle her mother's breasts. I tranferred both hands to Janet's cunt and into which I soon discovered there was enough room to push several fingers! As Margaret began to get more and more excited by the attentions of my tongue around her clitty and my fingers were working their magic on Janet's and my cock was straining in her mouth with my balls desperately trying not to release their sticky load of white jizz, I pulled Megan down over Janet's back and while keeping my fingers busy frigging Janet with one hand, started to spank Megan's bare bottom with the other. She had her hand between her thighs in an instant and suddenly she came and at the same time I felt two gushes, one over my hand in Janet's cunt and the other over my face. It goes without saying, I should imagine that my cum was by this time, dripping out of Janet's mouth. We rolled apart and and I rolled onto the floor! Four of us stark bollock naked, worn out and covered with sweat, cum, cock and cunt juice! The floor littered with underpants, knickers, stockings, suspender belts and bras. We'd have to be more careful next time; but this time there'd been no actual penetration but when we'd had a shower and we were all in Margaret's Queen sized bed and I felt myself coming to attention again, I knew what would be expected of me particularly as Margaret handed me a packet of three from the bedside cabinet and told me I was expected to use the whole packet before dawn. 'Bye the way Mum', said Megan as she started to roll languidly against me, 'they've offered me that job' 'That's wonderful darling' said her Mother and turning to me from the other side having placed her hand over my cock. 'It certainly is' said Janet from her position under the duvet with her head between my thighs and her hand cupping my balls............................... 'She's coming to work with us! She said giving me a little squeeze, 'What a lovely time you're going to have with the three of us' Know something? I still do, its just that now, I call one of them 'Aunty', one of them 'Mother in Law' and the third and youngest......................... well guess!

Reviewed by Toni Woodruff A wild romp through the foggy waters of love, loss, and friendship To serve your time or go golfing? That is the ultimate question. Kimo Jones was a high school teacher before he got busted for drunk driving. He’s already serving his time when the story opens—just weeks away from being released. Too bad he doesn’t make it there. With an annual golf outing just days away, Kimo escapes on the water during his volunteer time outside. He finds his way to a nearby wedding, where he comes into contact with Rachel, a smoking-hot young lady who will take any excuse to get away from her family for some excitement and, lucky for Kimo, get into his pants. What follows is a raucous misadventure filled with twists, turns, sex, laughs, and heartfelt moments. When Kimo discovers that Michelle, his missed chance at love, is dying, his escape for some golfing fun turns into a sweet attempt to make Michelle happy before she moves on to the great foggy bridge in the sky. Doing Time In California is just as loose and carefree as you can hope out of a comedy novel. Yes, we’re dealing with death and an escaped convict, but each page in here is just a reminder that this world might be too heavy for us to take our lives so seriously. If you’re in the mood for some wild antics and a sexy leading lady, this novel is going to leave you feeling satisfied. The novel does tackle humor in a lot of the right ways, but the way in which it treats Rachel diminishes that a bit. I love her carefree attitude and her obvious desire to get busy. She could play a really big role in Kimo’s turnaround while also manifesting her own desires and goals. Instead, she’s used as a flat character who is there for sexual relief, escape, and very little else. There are a few lines in here that swing and miss on race and sexuality, too. The plot is at its strongest when we fear that Kimo may be caught, when he’s unravelling the truth about Michelle, and when he’s figuring out what to do to make her last days feel special. I really love the way Kimo and the crew switches gears when they need to switch gears, treating this impending-loss with as much care as it should be treated with. There are a few sections in here, like the elongated bit about Kimo and his grandparents, that feel like diversions that go on for too long, but we always make our way back to the heart of the matter in the end. Doing Time in California is unexpected, goofy, outlandish, and capable of a good time. Thank you for reading Toni Woodruff’s book review of Doing Time in California by Dwight Jesmer!

Divorce Forms FAQ What are divorce forms? “Divorce forms” is a term that encompasses a wide range of contracts and documents relating to the filing, settlement, and completion of a legal divorce. These documents include divorce petitions and complaints, marital separation and settlement agreements, as well as pre-and-post-nuptial agreements and amendments. While each of these individual documents and agreements serve a specific purpose, they are all considered to be divorce forms that help expedite and complete the overall legal act of a divorce. Some documents will be required and some will not, depending on the individual divorce situation of the parties involved. What kind of divorce forms are there? There is a wide range of divorce forms that help two parties to make their settlements and arrangements enforceable by contract law. These include: - Prenuptial Agreements: Though not signed as part of a divorce, a Prenuptial Agreement that establishes property ownership and other arrangements can have an enormous impact on any potential future divorce proceedings. - Divorce Petitions and Complaints: These forms are the “introductory” documents you will be expected to fill out when “filing for a divorce.” They begin the divorce proceedings and establish the times and dates when you first made your court requests. - Final Judgment and Decree of Divorce: Given by the courts, these documents will list the court’s decisions. Other than filing and signing the other divorce forms you have filled out and agreed to, you will have little impact on the contents of these forms, though it is helpful to understand them. - Postnuptial Agreements and Settlements: A “Postnuptial” Agreement is similar to a Prenuptial Agreement except for one glaring fact: it is signed after the marriage has already taken place. Couples that did not have a Prenuptial Agreement in place but still want to have something written down on paper will typically opt for a Postnuptial Agreement. - Pet Custody Agreement: Because the courts will often have less to say about the custody of pets than they do the custody of children, it is up to the divorcing parties to come to an agreement regarding the custody and care of their pets after the divorce. - Child Support, Visitation and Custody Arrangements: Providing for the care of the children after a divorce has taken place is a top priority of the courts, as well as the parents involved. - Divorce Appearance, Consent, and Waiver: When one spouse agrees to join the other in moving for a divorce, these documents help expedite the process and ensure the courts are aware of the intentions of both parties, not just the petitioning party. While these are some of the most important divorce forms you can use, there are a number of other forms that may still be relevant to your individual situation, such as Alimony Past Due notices. Which divorce forms do I need? Determining which divorce forms you need will depend on your specific situation. If you are getting married and want a potential plan in place, a Prenuptial Agreement will probably work best for you. If you are already married and want a similar plan in place, you and your spouse would require a Postnuptial Agreement. If you are already on the receiving end of a divorce filing and want to agree to the process, you may want to pursue Divorce Appearance, Consent, and Waivers. What about if I have/don’t have children? Having or not having children can be the most important variable that affects your divorce. This variable will also impact the specific divorce forms you need to use. There are two frequently-used documents that will vary wildly depending on whether or not you have children: - Marital Settlement/Separation Agreement: This document is frequently customized to include the phrase “With/Without Children” in order to better suit your individual situation. If you do have children, there will be specific clauses and provisions included (such as the “Children Identification Clause”) to help the court identify the children and their basic needs. Both forms will also address alimony issues, property division, division of bills, etc. - Complaint/Petition for Divorce: In filing for divorce, it is important that you establish right away whether or not there will be children involved in the process. A Complaint for Divorce for couples with children, for example, should be tailored to that situation. The same is true for Complaints/Petitions for Divorce in marriages without children. If you are planning to download any forms yourself, it will be important for you to make sure that you are downloading the correct ones. Divorce forms tailored to your child situation are widely available. When are divorce forms enforceable? Because each divorce form is different, the enforceability of each specific document will similarly rest on different factors. In some cases, these forms will not require enforceability between two parties at all but instead simply need to be filed with the courts (as is the case in Complaint/Petition for Divorce documents). In other cases, however, enforceability is a key issue. For example, the enforceability of a Prenuptial Agreement can be a hotly-contested point between you and your spouse. If this is the case, then a Prenuptial Agreement will not only have to be valid (see below), but will have to stand up to the circumstances of your divorce. If the Prenuptial Agreement allows itself to become void in certain circumstances, then it will cease to be enforceable. What are the requirements for divorce documents to be valid? The validity of divorce documents hinges on the same factors as most contracts. Agreements between two parties will require that each party lawfully gave their full consent, and that the provisions of said agreement were also lawful. Divorce documents, such as Complaints and Petitions, will also need to be filled out accurately and filed properly if they are to be considered as valid by a court of law. When is a divorce document effective? In the case of Prenuptial Agreements, the document in question is effective assuming its validity is not in question and the two parties have got married. Other divorce documents – such as Marital Settlement/Separation Agreements – are effective contingent upon court approval and finalization of the divorce.

[Nidhisha Garg is a 3rd year B.A., LL.B (Hons.) student at the National Law Institute University, Bhopal] On 16 January 2019, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) notified the new policy for External Commercial Borrowings (ECB). It seeks to revise the policy that was earlier in place by virtue of the Master Direction on External Commercial Borrowings dated 1 January 2016, as updated from time to time, and shall be implemented with immediate effect. The last revision that was made to the 2016 policy framework was on 22 November 2018. Significant changes brought about by the new policy The major changes that have been brought about by the new policy are enumerated as under: 1. The four-tiered structure that was in place previously has been done away with after the merger of Track I with Track II ECBs (which dealt with Foreign Currency Denominated Bonds with a maturity of three to five years and ten years respectively) and that of Track III (Indian Rupee Denominated Bonds with an average maturity period of three to five years) with Rupee Denominated Bonds (more commonly known as Masala Bonds). 2. Now that Masala Bonds have been merged with Indian Rupee Denominated Bonds, the list of ‘Forms’ in which the ECB could be raised has been modified to include “plain-vanilla” bonds under the head of INR denominated ECB. 3. Under the previous policy, draw-down in respect of ECB as well as payment of charges/fees could occur only after obtaining the Loan Registration Number (LRN) from the RBI. Under the new policy, the phrase, “as well as payment of charges or fees in respect of ECB” is lacking and all it mentions is that draw-down in respect of the ECB should occur only after obtaining LRN from the Reserve Bank. 4. The definition of “all-in-cost” has undergone the following changes: (i) The scope of all-in-cost has been expanded to include Export Credit Agency (ECA) charges within its purview, which was lacking under the previous policy framework. (ii) From the negative part of the old definition, “pre-payment fees and charge” has been removed. This, however, does not of itself imply that pre-payment fees and charges have now been included under the definition of ‘all-in-cost’ because the Circular mentions elsewhere under the head, ‘Other Costs’ that the same shall be outside the purview of ‘all-in-cost’. (iii) Whereas under the 2016 policy, in case of fixed rate loans, the swap cost plus spread was to be equivalent to the floating rate, under the new policy the only condition imposed is that swap cost plus spread cannot be more than the floating rate. (iv) The clause that provided that penal interest for breach of covenant should not be more than 2% under the head, ‘All-in-cost requirement for the three tracks’ is missing under the new policy. Despite these changes, the ceiling of 450 basis point on all-in-costs has, however, remained unchanged. 5. The list of eligible borrowers has been expanded in that all entities which are eligible for receiving Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are now eligible for ECB. In addition, certain other commercial entities have been added by way of express mention. These are Post Trusts, Units in Special Economic Zones (SEZ), the Small Industries Development Bank of India and the Export Import Bank of India. Other than these, the scope of eligible borrowers has been further expanded to generally include all entities engaged in micro-finance activities like not for profit companies registered under Section 8 of the Companies Act, 2013, registered societies, trusts, co-operatives and non-government organizations. 6. Even the ambit of Recognized Lenders has been broadened immensely to include all countries which are FATF (Financial Action Task Force) and IOSCO (International Organization for Securities Commissions) compliant. 7. The Minimum Average Maturity Period (MAMP) has been fixed at three years barring two exceptions: (i) Companies in the manufacturing sector who raise and amount of $ 50 Million or its equivalent per financial year may have a minimum maturity period of one year. (ii) MAMP will be 5 years if the ECB is raised through a foreign equity holder and the proceeds thereof are utilized for working capital purposes, general corporate purposes, or repayment of rupee loans. 8. The Government has introduced the concept of Late Submission Fee (LSF) which was previously unknown to ECBs. As a general rule, draw down under ECB is permitted only after having obtained a LRN and receipt of any proceeds under the ECB prior to the attainment of LRN must be reported. Also, there is a mandatory requirement of monthly reporting of all transactions taking place under the ECB by filing of Form ECB 2. If there is a delay in the filing of the above-mentioned forms, the same can be regularized by furnishing the LSF, the amount of which has been settled based on the period of delay. Delays up to 30 calendar days, require payment of INR 5000. Further delay up to three years shall invite a LSF of INR 50,000 for each year and any delay beyond three years shall be accompanied with a penalty of INR 1,00,000 for every year. Contraventions in the nature of non-payment of LSF shall be governed by the Foreign Exchange Management Act, 1999 (FEMA) and the regulations formulated thereunder. 9. The individual limits on the amount that could be raised through ECB that existed under the 2016 framework based on the sector in which the borrower operated has been replaced by a common upper limit of $ 750 million under the automatic route. 10. Under the End-Uses list (purposes for which the proceeds under the ECB cannot be used), even though ‘Real Estate Activities’ is part of both the policies, an exemption was made for integrated townships and affordable housing projects under the old policy which is lacking under the 2019 policy. 11. The revised framework also contains a list under both the policies, a novel Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for Authorized Dealer Category -1 Banks to be applied for untraceable entities. 12. Other than these substantial changes, the revised policy framework consists of certain other routine changes, for example, removal of redundant provisions (like the carve-out made for ECB by airline companies, low-cost affordable housing projects etc. if the ECB agreement was entered into before 1 March 2016, etc.) which were part of the previous framework. Most of the other provisions relating to debt-equity ratio for ECB with foreign direct equity holders under the automatic route, security for ECB, parking of proceeds, ECB for oil marketing companies, ECB for start-ups, powers delegated to AD Category -1 banks to deal with ECB cases, etc. remain the same. Implications of the 2019 Framework A paradigm shift that has occurred with respect to Eligible Borrowers, Recognized Lenders and MAMP is that the track-wise segregation that existed under the previous policy is no longer relevant. Considering the fact that the above three factors are the most essential ingredients for an ECB, their shift to universality is indicative of the intention of the Government to ease out the ECB norms. Also, the expansion of the scope of ‘eligible borrowers’ is an appreciable step as it indicates the inclination of the Government to enable even those entities to receive ECB that are not commercial in the conventional sense in that their sole aim is not to earn profits. As far as merging of Track III ECBs with Rupee Denominated Bonds is concerned, the step is novel in the sense that Masala Bonds, which earlier had a separate set of regulations governing them, shall also now come within the purview of ECBs and shall also be governed accordingly. Commentators have considered the policy to be salutary in respect of liberalization of the ECB regime. The change that they have welcomed the most is the fact that the ambit of eligible borrowers has been expanded to a considerable extent. The press release by the RBI on the matter terms the new policy as “instrument-neutral”. This is probably because of the fact that where, under the previous policy separate conditions, prescriptions and restrictions were enlisted for ECBs under all the three separate tracks, the current policy has sought to generalize many aspects by enshrining a common clause for both, foreign currency denominated, as well as, Indian Rupee denominated ECBs. This is indeed the right time for a revised policy considering that, despite continuous efforts on the part of the Government to update norms for ECB, the previous policy was incompatible with the other recent changes that have been incorporated in India’s foreign investment policy in general. It was felt that substantial and categorical changes need to be incorporated in the existing policy if the same had to be in consonance with the other contemporaneous changes taking place in regulations governing various aspects of the economy. – Nidhisha Garg

At HWS, we are taking a departure from our normal weekly post to share with you a post written by a mom we have never met, about a nanny we don't know. On a daily basis we speak to Moms and Dads across America who freely express their appreciation for their nanny. They understand the key role the nanny plays in their lives and the lives of their children. They "get it." We feel it is fitting for 2016 National Nanny Recognition Week to share Chantal's and Alia's story.

How We Met First off, let’s talk about Michele A’Court (her last name is pronounced like acorn, but with a ‘t’), author of How We Met. Winner of the ‘Comedian of the Decade’ at the 2010 New Zealand Comedy Awards, A’Court (you’re thinking about acorns now, aren’t you?) has been making a living as a comedian and writer for 21 years, in New Zealand as well as internationally. She contributes to The Spinoff, and her first book, Stuff I Forgot To Tell My Daughter, was based on her popular comedy tour of the same name. As a woman in the comedy industry, she says she gets asked a lot about whether “I think women are funny. Or whether they’re as funny as men. Or whether it is harder to do comedy if you’re a woman...Or some other gender-angled query about the work I do.” So she wrote a piece about it and put it on her blog (The Guardian and The Washington Post picked it up too) answering all the questions now and forevermore that she gets tired of answering. In response to “What is the hardest thing about being a female comedian?” she says “Answering the questions about being one. Everything else about it is just like being a comedian.” Full of this spunky A’Court sass, her latest book, How We Met, is a slight turn away from full-tilt comedy and a dip into the romantic. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still funny. But it’s primarily a collection of serendipitous and scandalous couples’ stories of their first meetings. A’Court’s theory behind the book is that the story behind the question, “So how did you two meet?” – the one that lights people up and gets them finishing each other’s sentences – that’s the story that weaves and holds them together. How We Met is an entertaining education on how love begins and how it goes on for years and years. It is both sweet and scientific, with A’Court breaking down the science of attraction (with the help of a neuroscientist and a psychologist) to fortify her theory about that initial connection between partners. I’ll be real with you now: I haven’t finished How We Met. Yet. But not because it’s not good! Because it’s not a page-turner, it’s a slow burner. It’s not a book you need to read from cover to cover to understand, because every couple’s story is its own narrative. It’s a treat that you take into the bath with you, a daily devotional you keep by your bedside and dip into at the end of the day. Reading a chapter of How We Met is like eating a bowl of your favorite ice cream – an indulgent treat with a heavy sprinkle of laughs. Just like if you eat too much in one go you might start to feel a little queasy from all the sugar, if you read too much of the book you might start to feel a little sick at all the lovely romance. You might get brain freeze at the lack of problems for characters to overcome, or at switching from one couple’s story to another. But just because you shouldn’t have ten scoops of ice cream at a time, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t have two. How We Met is the perfect treat in bite-sized doses. And I’m taking my time to savor every story.

Grace Period Vs Moratorium Period Whats The Difference Moratorium period and grace period are two terms that are often confused to be the same. These two terms, however, have many key differences. Let’s learn more about both, grace period and moratorium period while understanding how to make use of them in financial planning. These days, it is a common practice to take out a loan from any bank or financial institution. Loan repayment is often done in the form of Equated Monthly Instalments (EMIs). EMIs comprise of repayment of principal amount and interest amount which is calculated with the applicable interest rate on the principal amount. If you’re a loan borrower or credit card user, you would have come across these terms. In this article, you can find the differences between these two terms to help you understand them better. A grace period is calculated as the time between the last date of the credit card billing cycle and the payment due date. This grace period comes as an interest-free period which allows you sufficient time to pay your credit card bills before the lender starts charging interest on the due amount for the month. Interest is charged on the portion of the balance that is paid during the grace period. Grace periods are not a mandate by law. However, lenders offer this timeline ranging between 21 and 25 days. For those lenders who offer a grace period to credit card holders, the law mandates that they must send the bill to the payer minimum 21 days before the due date. If you can pay the entire balance during the allotted grace period, then the borrowed money can be termed as an interest-free loan. This is because there are no fees associated with the privilege of using the cash. Many studies suggest that most consumers tend to take advantage of the grace period for paying off their credit card dues every month. A grace period can be called as a use-it-or-lose-it opportunity for borrowers or credit card users. If there is any balance left on your card from the prior month, you may end up paying interest on such amount and also the interest will be applied on future usage starting from the day the purchase is made. Thus, if you pay Rs. 2,000 on your Rs. 10,000 credit card balance, interest will be charged on the remaining Rs. 8,000. If you happen to purchase something the next day for Rs. 5,000, there will also be interest accrued on that Rs. 5,000 spend. Sometimes, it may take nearly two billing cycles of full payments before you can enjoy the privilege of a grace period once again. A moratorium period is somewhat similar to forbearance or deferment. A moratorium is when a lender allows the borrower to stop making payments for a certain time and a specified reason. Normally, the reason would involve an unmanageable financial hardship. A lender would prefer to give a few months to the borrower, so that he/she can regain financial stability rather than defaulting on payments or stop paying completely. Benefits of Loan Moratorium A moratorium period helps ease any financial stress faced by the borrower, especially as seen during the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. It ensures that borrowers can have some breathing space when there are liquidity issues. Borrowers can divert their funds towards essentials instead of worrying about repayment during a moratorium period. When an individual avails the benefits of a moratorium period, the credit score does not get affected and he/she does not get reported as a defaulter. Thus, despite not paying the loan, it has no impact on your credit score or history. This, in turn, allows borrowers to continue borrowing in the future when a need arises. Banks generally don’t charge any penalty to borrowers for not repaying the loan, during the moratorium. Drawbacks of Loan Moratorium Despite its advantages, a moratorium period comes with a few negatives. Here are some of the drawbacks of a loan moratorium: A moratorium should not be mistaken as a waiver. You will still have to pay the EMIs at a later date. While the EMIs are deferred for six months, the interest continues to accumulate on the total outstanding amount. This would lead to a higher monthly installment or longer loan tenure. All of this requires you to make provisions in advance or during the moratorium period. People who have long term loans such as home loans will see an extension of tenure of the loan. Thus, they may end up paying a higher interest throughout the loan tenure if they avail the loan moratorium option. In case you defer two EMIs, the loan tenure could be further extended by 6-10 months. As compared to the present interest amount, the interest payable later will be higher and could have tax implications. Moratorium Period vs. Grace Period In many ways, a grace period is similar to the moratorium period. One of the reasons is that both these are a time frame which allows one to defer a loan or credit payment. Here are some of the noteworthy differences between the two concepts: The primary difference between the two is that a moratorium period is longer as compared to a grace period. Thus, there will be interest charged during such a moratorium period. If a lender provides a grace period to the credit card holder, it applies to all customers. As against, in case of a moratorium period, individual borrowers or cardholders have to request for the same, and the lender has to specifically approve the request. Moratorium period has no guarantee. In a grace period, the borrower must make payment within the grace period or will be penalised with either a late fee or a credit rating downgrade, etc. Through a moratorium period, a borrower does not have to make a payment. The length of a moratorium period could range from weeks to months. In case of a grace period, the length is often up to 15 days. Grace period and moratorium period are facilities offered by lenders. However, these cannot be used interchangeably as they are different in more ways than one. While borrowing a loan or subscribing for a credit card, borrowers must be aware of these concepts to make use of them and avoid facing any kind of penalty or credit rating impact.

Learn about the elephant seals of Piedras Blancas on June 18 Take a virtual visit to the Central Coast rookery where northern elephant seals stop to breed, give birth, molt, and rest on Thursday, June 18 from 4:00 to 5:00 pm in a program presented by the Menlo Park Library. Register online. The northern elephant seal spends eight to ten months a year in the open ocean, diving 1,000 to 5,800 feet deep for periods of fifteen minutes to two hours, and migrating thousands of miles, twice a year, to its land-based rookery for birthing, breeding, molting, and rest. Docents from Friends of the Elephant Seal will introduce us to the denizens of the 6-mile rookery surrounding Point Piedras Blancas on California’s central coast.

Hidden gold, a drowned child and sunken horse drawn carriages: the stuff of local legend—and the catalyzing mysteries that helped launch a new class of underwater drones. This new category of remotely operated vehicle (ROV) is highly portable and intuitive to operate. What really sets them apart, however, is their price. Most of those described here—which will all be available by this summer if they aren’t already being shipped—sell for $1,200 or less. At those prices, and with the flexibility being built into their designs, they are poised to shift the flow of innovation to the ‘smalls,’ likely kicking off a host of industrial applications down the road. They are “the hot ticket these days,” said Philip McGillivary, who tracks technology as the science liaison for the U.S. Coast Guard Pacific Area/Dept. Homeland Security. “It all started with a story of buried treasure,” said Eric Stackpole, a co-founder of OpenROV, which is known for its make-your-own ROV kits. A student working at NASA-Ames at the time, Stackpole had begun building his own ROVs out of frustration. “When we’re working on a satellite, it’s probably 15 years before a mission actually launches, if it ever launches, and we don’t have control of it—you need a rocket ship to get to space,” he told Inside Unmanned Systems. “I realized the ocean is this dark, mysterious place where there are creatures we’ve never seen before…and all you need is a shoreline and some curiosity.” That desire for personal exploration was sharply refocused, however, when a friend told him the story of a cache of stolen gold. “During the gold mining days of California,” Stackpole said, “there was this gold heist and allegedly 100 pounds of gold was hidden in this reportedly bottomless, water-filled pit in the back of a cave that no one had been able to get to the bottom of. So that kind of gave me a reason to build this robot.” Stackpole took his ROV and, with his soon-to-be cofounder David Lane, found the cave and the pool. “We didn’t even know if the story was true. Sure enough we found the cave. In the back of it, just like reported in the story, we found this kind of perfectly circular, six-footish diameter hole going straight down.” Unfortunately, the ROV didn’t make it to the bottom. “This is the early days and we had a lot of problems with the robot,” Stackpole said. “We had a lot to figure out.” The publicity surrounding the attempt, however, attracted people interested in ROVs and that group coalesced to support a series of improved iterations of the device. After they dispatched the technological gremlins Stackpole and Lane launched a Kickstarter campaign offering do-it-yourself kits containing everything necessary to build an operational ROV. “The kit is what we’ve been selling since that first Kickstarter project in 2012 and we’ve sold more than 3,000 of them. In fact, I think that would make us the largest volume ROV manufacturer in the world,” Stackpole said. Those kits, now on version 8 of the Series 2 design, have fueled the growth of a worldwide community. Fostered by Lane, that community embraces everyone from developers who swap enhancement how-tos on GitHub to amateur explorers checking out local lakes and researchers doing basic science. “If you do a search on Google scholar you’ll find that more than 100 unique published academic papers have been published using OpenROV as a tool,” Stackpole said. “So it’s been an extremely powerful tool in research and development and academia.” Those who want to share what they find can post project reports and video at the firm’s affiliated OpenExplorer website (www.openexplorer.com). The entries there describe efforts to survey the Indian Ocean to help save blue whales from ship strikes, slow the disappearance of starfish due to seastar wasting syndrome and look for the “lost sharks” of San Francisco Bay. The latest kit comes with 100 meters of tether, an HD camera, extra wires for add-ons and a battery that will power the water drone for 2 to 3 hours down to depths of 100 meters. Not everyone, however, is adept at building things, so the firm launched another Kickstarter campaign in 2015 to win support for a new, fully assembled ROV called the Trident. “We realize that there’s a really big barrier to entry if you have to build the kit, so the Trident kind of addresses that,” Stackpole said. “It’s the ready-to-go-out-of-the-box, high-performance vehicle that anyone who wants to use it…can get.” The Trident has a wing-like taper front to back and moves fast. There are two horizontal thrusters at the rear and one vertical thruster that is sort of in the middle. Specifically it is off center, a design choice that makes the Trident pitch at high speeds but still enables it to hover without pitching. The 3.4-kilogram drone is small enough to fit under an airline seat. It is rated to a depth of 100 meters and comes with a 100-meter tether, though a 300-meter one will be available. The tether connects to the Wi-Fi Topside Module, a floating connection that helps you know where the drone is and enables control via a touchscreen, game controller, joystick, or keyboard. The ROV itself also has a large payload area where accessories can be added via threaded holes set up in a grid pattern. Accessories installed there would communicate with the vehicle via onboard Wi-Fi. Trident’s high-definition camera has been specially tweaked for underwater photography—images that users are invited to stream to the firm’s OpenExplorer web platform. “It’s a 10 ADP (HD) camera but the thing that really stands out about it is what we’ve done with low-light sensitivity and color rendition,” Stackpole said. The results are such that, he said, “in many cases the view you have with a Trident is even better than the view you have in person looking through a dive mask.” To make the ROV more rugged, its brushless motors have been custom designed to better withstand the sort of grit that might be kicked up cruising close to the bottom. The shell also has been tested against chemicals that might be found in the water like chorine, gasoline and diesel. That ruggedness could support what may become a broader use of the Trident for industrial and research purposes. Government customers are looking at Trident as a way to do inspections and to support emergency responders doing search and evidence recovery, Stackpole said. The ROV is also suitable for expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic, he said, and is designed to operate in polar temperatures. Moreover, it is specifically sized to fit down the hole made by a 10-inch Jiffy drill—the standard drill for boring holes in the ice. There is a strap that holds the tether so the unit also can be hauled back up through the same hole without a problem. McGillivary noted the advantages of the personal-class ROVs, particularly how much lower the prices are compared to what many federal agencies are using now. The smaller ROVs, however, would likely have to go through a year to three years of testing, he said, before officials would be ready to rely on them. The private sector, however, appears to be moving more quickly. “We’ve heard from nuclear power plants that want to be able to inspect their fuel cell tank and not worry about super expensive equipment becoming irradiated,” Stackpole said. There is interest as well from consumer-facing firms like diving tour operators and resorts who want to be able to let potential customers look around under water. Operators of aquaculture farms are weighing using the new ROV as well. According to the Kickstarter page, 1,324 backers pledged over $800,000 to get the Trident off the ground, selling more than 800 in the process. The preorders, which are now available for just a little less than $1,200, have been “much more than that,” Stackpole said. Units will start shipping this summer. Though OpenROV may have been one of the earliest firms to offer personal-class ROVs, they are by no means the only one. The PowerRay is a fishing/fish-finder ROV from the drone maker PowerVision that uses sensors to help locate fish and then tempt them with a baited hook. Introduced at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show, this device, like most of the others, sends videotape of what it sees to the operator’s mobile device. Though pricing had not been announced, the firm said it expects to begin taking preorders at the end of February The GNOM from GNOM-ROV, available in different models for under $10,000, also targets the fishing industry as well as divers and firms wanting to do inspections of pipelines, dams and power plants. The RB-Micro-50 from EPRONS ROV, available for 2500 Euros (about $2,700), comes with a 50-meter cable. Intended more for leisure users, the RB-Micor-50 is best suited to low-current areas, according to the company. Blue Robotics offers the BlueROV 2, a kit available with a variety of options. The ROV comes partially assembled and can be had for less than $5,000, according to one example configuration on the firm’s website. This water-drone has six thrusters and batteries that can be swapped out for all-day operation. At $600 the new Fathom One is one of the least expensive ROVs now available. Small and modular it can be disassembled and tucked into a backpack for impromptu expeditions. Developed by Fathom, a Grand Rapids, Michigan-based firm, the ROV was inspired by legends of horse-drawn carriages lying on the bottom of a lake near the family cabin of co-founder Danny Vessells. According to the story, logging operations active in the area during the 1800s stored their carriages on the lake’s frozen surface during the winter—but an untimely thaw sent them tumbling to the bottom. Though curious about the carriages, Vessells was not a diver. He wanted to stand on the shore and check things out, Co-Founder Matt Gira said, but the only options were either too expensive or technically complex to be practical. The system that sprang from this itch for a subsurface tour has three thrusters—a horizontal one on each side and a vertical one in the back—that make directing the drone fairly intuitive. “This thing swims more like a fish than a robot, “ Fathom One Lead Designer John Boss said. The firm also won early support through Kickstarter, raising nearly $198,000 from 656 backers in the summer of 2016. Product development is on schedule, Gira said, with the firm set to ship its first units to beta testers in February. The testers will be using a mobile device app to operate the drones. Communication is through a Wi-Fi-enabled buoy on the surface that connects to the ROV through a tether up to 300 meters long. Able to go as far as 150 feet down, the Fathom One comes with lights and an HD camera to capture and share what it sees. If users want to add a camera, more lights or other devices, there is a built-in attachment rail and two ports that enables them to boost the ROVs capability—including adding new software. Fathom plans to produce its own specialty rotors and accessories but also has issued an invite for outside innovators to get involved. For now, however, Fathom is focused less on adding accessories and more on what the mini ROV could mean for efforts to preserve the environment. $1 Million Prize As of press time both Fathom One and OpenROV were finalists in the United Arab Emirates’ Robotics for Good contest, a competition with a $1 million grand prize. In their entries both firms emphasized how their ROVs could be used to protect the environment by making information about marine ecosystems more available. “There is just a huge need in the world for better solutions when it comes to marine ecosystem monitoring and submerged infrastructure inspection,” Vessells said in Fathom’s entry video. “Many people don’t realize that up to 85 percent of our world’s oxygen comes from our marine plant life and these plants are dying at an alarming rate. Why? Because people simply don’t know that it’s happening, which leads to a serious lack of community involvement around the issue.” The improved infrastructure inspection made possible by the Fathom One would also help reduce the environmentally damaging accidents, he said. David Lang, OpenROV co-founder, emphasized to the judges that insight into the world’s oceans was vital—but less than 5 percent of the world’s oceans had been explored. “Trident is so much more than an individual robot. Each one is a connected device, part of our larger community of exploration. By coordinating and connecting global citizen scientists, we’re able to crowdsource research objectives and provide a distributed platform for discovery. Our companion website, OpenExplorer, gives our users a way to tell their stories and document their expeditions.” “People all around the world have questions about what’s going on beneath the surface,” Lang said, “and finally there’s a tool to answer these questions.” The original impetus for SheerTech’s Starfish drone was far more personal, though it too, was inspired by something that was lost—a child. The child’s father, a friend of Starfish chief designer Geoff Sheerin, was powerless to do anything after his boy drowned. “He had to stand and watch divers showing up. He had to stand there for a half hour while divers showed up to try and find his son’s body,” Sheerin said. “I thought if he had something he could throw in the water, he might have been able to go in and even recover his son.” The accident spurred Sheerin, who is president of the prototype-building firm, to create a retrieval ROV with a two-width gripper that could grab a child’s wrist or an adult’s arm. Sheerin sees it as more of a tool for rescue than recovery. “It would be meant for someone who’s lost consciousness,” Sheerin said. “As you know, in cold water…especially for a child, you might have upwards of 25 minutes (to rescue them).” “So instead of waiting for a dive team to come you would have this unit that you could throw in, and start an immediate search,” Sheerin told Inside Unmanned Systems. “It’s designed to clamp on, he added, “then you use the umbilical to pull them back to the surface.” The tether on the Starfish is unusual in that it has a rope backbone that can be separated from the electrical line. The rope is strong enough to haul up items weighing as much as 500 pounds, while the claw is currently designed to hold about 300 pounds. That claw, Sheerin said, has proven dexterous enough to pick up a hockey puck and a stuffed toy, and comes with a built-in magnet for retrieving things like keys. The camera and lights on the device make searching easier. The claw, which is at the center axis of the rotors, also can be removed and replaced with other sensors. “The attachment comes off and you can put on there, for example, a magnetometer or something to search for sunken treasure,” Sheerin said. You could also attach a high-end camera capable of capturing images for 3-D or virtual reality products. Another winner on Kickstarter, SheerTech raised $48,135 from 11 backers to finish development. The first units are weeks from shipping, Sheerin said. Among those most interested in the Starfish are small hydrodam operators. “They spend a lot of money inspecting their dams, trying to retrieve things that have fallen,” said Sheerin. The company also has received interest from marinas whose customers are apparently prone to losing tanks and other equipment. Sheerin said one guy told him: “Geoff, I’d like to just be able to drive out 200 feet and go down 10.”

If asked about the key skills of the future, would you and your employees point to skills they used in pre-school classrooms? Would you say: “creativity, sharing and negotiation”? According to David Deming, associate professor of education and economics at Harvard University, soft skills like sharing and negotiating will be crucial. He says the modern workplace, where people move between different roles and projects, closely resembles pre-school classrooms, where we learn social skills such as empathy and cooperation. Other reports found on the World Economic Forum site highlight the importance of creativity, as one of the top three skills workers will need. When you look at what is encouraged in your organization and how work gets accomplished, how would you rate your readiness for the skills needed to win in today’s VUCA environment? In the new playing field where collaboration and agility have sometimes become buzz words in organizations, what actions are you taking “on the field” to develop new practices and new skill sets, like a professional athlete training for a new discipline? In working with teams on specific challenges, we have found that access to develop new thinking and new actions is to widely use design thinking principles and embed those in your corporate culture. Design thinking provides a critical focus on the end-user and the principles are valuable to develop our creativity and ability to empathize, work with diverse profiles and personalities, diverge, converge, test and learn through prototypes. Design thinking initially comes from the world of design for products and services and is defined as: “combining empathy for the context of a problem, creativity in the generation of insights and solutions, and rationality in analyzing and fitting various solutions to the problem context.” When you look at what is valued and encouraged in your organization and corporate culture, are you preparing your teams to develop the skills that are required today and for a sustainable future?

Jean-Baptiste Delapierre - STU 2011 - in charge of attractiveness and economic forecasting at the "Economic Attractiveness and Employment" department of the City of Paris In Situ went in December to meet Jean-Baptiste DELAPIERRE, who graduated from STU in 2011 and is in charge of attractiveness and economic forecasting in the "Economic Attractiveness and Employment" department of the City of Paris. Arrival at Sciences Po and the masters years Before entering the STU master's programme, Jean-Baptiste completed two years of literary preparatory courses with a specialisation in history and geography at the prestigious Lycée Chaptal. When he entered the STU, Jean-Baptiste wanted to deepen his knowledge in economic development. In the first year of his master's degree, he did an internship as a consultant in the Courtabœuf business park study mission. The aim was to think about the integration of the project into the Greater Paris area and to revive a ZAC that had been described as "unliveable". An experience that brings him a great deal of technical expertise, an element that he considers indispensable: "When you work in economic development, technical skills are expected. So I made the most of the practical workshops and the macro-economics course offered by the Master's programme. For his end-of-study internship, Jean-Baptiste chose to join the Paris City Hall at the Bureau de l'Innovation et de l'Emploi (BIE), this time exploring the theme of experimentation in the urban environment, which was then flourishing in Paris. The principle: the city makes a public space available to companies, giving the company an area for innovation and increased visibility. From internship to thesis in applied philosophy While the other M2 students went on to professional careers, Jean-Baptiste returned to university and began a master's degree in philosophy applied to the evaluation of public policies at Paris-Sorbonne, under the direction of Alain Renault. He wrote a thesis on the limits of citizenship for homeless people. Another way of approaching economic development according to Jean-Baptiste: "I didn't stray too far from my original topic as I studied the link between poverty and development. More than a taste for the field, Jean-Baptiste justifies his choice by the need to have a real reflection on public policies: "I wanted to understand the 'why' of public policy after focusing on the 'how' during my studies. We are also in a period where philosophy is regaining its nobility. It shows that you know how to think a little and that you have writing skills. It's a good complement to my initial training, even if continuing education is still better valued internationally than in France. A few words for the students and graduates of the Masters in Urban Affairs? Would he advise to follow the same path? "It all depends on the sector. Today, everyone has a master's degree. A complementary training allows you to stand out. However, it must also make sense in the course. Jean-Baptiste has been working for the City of Paris for almost two years. His missions mainly consist of carrying out economic analyses, prospective analyses of economic and strategic attractiveness, monitoring, benchmarks that must be made "digestible" for elected officials. Finally, Jean-Baptiste also works on an ad hoc basis with Paris & Co (Paris' economic development and innovation agency) for representation functions. Jean-Baptiste's main advice for students at the Urban School is to arm themselves with technical skills, particularly in cartography and Excel: a way of standing out in a small world that is becoming increasingly competitive.

January 22, 2014 Missouri Department of Insurance reaches settlement with EMC Insurance Companies after market conduct exams Jefferson City, Mo. - Missouri insurance regulators today announced a settlement agreement with EMCASCO Insurance Company and Employers Mutual Casualty Company after market conduct examinations into their handling of workers' compensation insurance. Department of Insurance Director John M. Huff announced that as part of the settlement, Missouri will receive $207,350 and policyholders will receive restitution of over $14,000. The examinations found that the companies failed to maintain updated schedule rating worksheets, failed to properly notify insureds of their potential eligibility for a premium adjustment, failed to file their large deductible policies individually and used a schedule rating credit that is not approved for use in Missouri. The credit allowed companies to subjectively adjust for "classification peculiarities" through schedule rating that could potentially lead to unfair rating practices. The companies will conduct a review of its workers' compensation policies to determine if other policyholders are entitled to restitution. In addition to paying restitution and fines, the companies agree to take remedial action to come in compliance with statutes and regulations of Missouri. In market conduct exams and investigations, the Department of Insurance reviews insurance company practices regarding the treatment of policyholders. This includes the way premium rates are charged, the way insurers handle claims and other responsibilities under state law. These reviews can result in refunds for consumers, fines and corrections in business practices, as well as other remedies. Since the beginning of 2009, Market Conduct enforcement actions have generated more than $20 million in payments from insurance companies. The money goes toward refunds for consumers, General Revenue and the Missouri State School Fund. Consumers who have complaints or general questions about life and other types of insurance, can call the department's Insurance Consumer Hotline at 800-726-7390 or by visiting insurance.mo.gov.

Generally there are no chemical agents and compounds in pure form in the nature, but they are usually in compounding condition with other agents. Muddy water, dusty air, fog – all of them is samples for multiphase medium. Agent compound doesn’t imply the forming of b links between its agents, that’s why the physical methods are usually enough for its separation. In the early stages of its development, humankind generally used agents in that form as they were found in nature. So necessary condition for forming a large settlement was a source with drinking water, i.e. with low salt content and different kinds of impurities such as lower algae etc. However due to small population size and density there were no needs to look for water purifying methods for its consumption. The low human needs didn’t require to look for ways for separating of other kinds of found mixtures. As in the case with many aspects of life, the development of culture and technology led to increased needs. In particular, the need in abstraction of pure agents from mixtures or, conversely, purification from impurities. These requirements could be determined by the urgent need, so to improve the quality of drinking water, about 2000 years BC it was started with additional purification, passing through a layer of sand or coal, which allowed to remove the smell and small impurities. In some cases, the task of agent mixture filtering could arise unexpectedly and require an urgent decision, which occurred on April 22, 1915 on the German-French front of the First World War, when Germany used chemical war gases for the first time in the history, what was a cause for the next invention and creation of a gas mask. However, the greatest impetus to the study of filtration systems resulted from rapid development of science and technology in the 17th and next centuries. Many chemical reactions proceed in a liquid medium, and reaction products can already be solid formations. Requirements for many industrial processes do not allow using of ordinary water without additional purification stages, some of which concludes filtration, sedimentation, etc. The same applies to cleaning of the air drawn from the atmosphere or, conversely, discharged from the air unit. The first filtration units, like the same sand filter, were extremely simple designed, made mostly of natural materials and did not require any serious calculation or research work. The increased need for filtration led to the development of filter equipment, which created a great variety of both in designing and in the choice of the physical or physico-chemical separation principle. A mixture is a physicochemical system, which contains at least two components. The mixture can be separated by physical methods into components, without any chemical transformation of the components. The components of the mixture can be in either one or in different aggregate states. According to this principle, two types of mixtures are to be extracted: In the general case, systems consisting of two or more non chemical interacting phases, in which one of them is spread in volume of the other, are called dispersed phases. In technological processes, dispersed systems are most common, in which a homogenous (continuous) phase is a liquid or a gas, i.e. different kinds of emulsions and suspensions. If we consider the easiest cases of dispersed system with two components, then the following types of phases are to be extracted: |Types of dispersed systems||Dispersed (discontinuous) medium| |Gaseous phase||Liquid phase||Solid phase| |Dispersion (continuous) medium||Gaseous phase||Doesn’t form any dispersed systems||Fogs||Dusts |Solid phase||Solid foams||Solid emulsions||Alloy | Despite the fact that the components included in the mixture don’t enter in chemical reactions with each other, its physical properties may vary from those of its components. Most often, a certain physical parameter of the mixture, such as density, will be between the values of the same parameter for its components. The main role here is played by the quantitative ratio of mixture components. Usually for dispersed systems the volume (Cv) or mass (Cm) concentration of the dispersed phase, expressed in fractions, is to be identified. So if we know the density of continuous and dispersed phase, as well as the volume fraction of dispersed phase, we can determine the density of formed system: Ρдс = Сv·ρд+(1-Сv)·ρс ρс – homogenous phase density, kg/m³; ρд – dispersed phase density, kg/m³; ρдс – dispersed system density, kg/m³; Сv – volume part of dispersed phase. The same formula for the mass fraction of dispersed phase is as follows: ρдс = [ρд·ρс] / [ρд-См·(ρд-ρс)] In case of suspensions, their viscosity is the result of viscosity change of the liquid phase under influence of solid particles of dispersed phase. Both the volume concentration of dispersed phase, and the size and shape of solid particles are important. If the volume fraction of disperse phase is less than 0.2, the viscosity calculation of suspension can be carried out using empirical formula: ΜSus = μж·(1+∑ni=1(ai·Civ)) μсус – suspension dynamical viscosity, Pа·sec; μж – liquid dynamical viscosity (homogenous phase), Pa·sec; Сv – volume fraction of dispersed phase; i, n, a – empirical coefficients. With a volume fraction of dispersed phase more than 0.2 suspensions already begin to behave like non-Newtonian fluids, i.e. their viscosity begins to depend on gradient of flow speed. Mixtures are separated due to differences in physical properties of its components. It is important to note, that most types of mixtures in one way or another are systems that are unstable and exposed to the breakdown process with time. However, natural breakdown as a rule is slow and takes a lot of time, which is unprofitable by providing technological processes. Therefore, in special units methods of separation processes intensifying are used. Mostly, this applies to heterogeneous mixtures. In the case of homogeneous mixtures, the problem of their separation becomes much more complicated. Such systems often prove to be stable, i.e. they don’t disintegrate into components over time, and are not subject to natural separation. So familiar to us atmospheric air is a mixture of gases, mainly oxygen and nitrogen, and without additional manipulation it will be impossible to achieve its separation into components. Another example is the alloys of metals, which due to their structure are weakly subject to internal changes without additional external influence. However, even when during separating of heterogeneous systems, one can meet with difficulties. True solutions and colloid systems are stable, since particles exposed to Brownian motion due to their small size are supported in a suspended condition and do not breakdown with time. Only coarsely dispersed systems are subject to breakdown. However in industry the most common are heterogeneous coarsely dispersed systems in which the dispersion medium is a liquid or a gas. The methods for their separation are described below. Settling. Specific surface of porous medium and solid phase. Calculation of hydraulic pore diameter Settling is one of the simplest separating methods of coarse-dispersed heterogeneous systems that doesn’t require complex equipment for execution. Driving force in this process is gravity force acting on solid particles (in suspensions, dusts and fumes) or drops (in fogs or emulsions). For emulsions whose dispersed phase is lighter than dispersion one, the force of ejection will act as driving force, making drops buoy to the surface of continuous phase. This process is used mainly for primary rough separation of mixtures, since a small driving force allows efficient separation of only enough large solids or liquid particles. Primary separation is used to reduce the cost of total process, reducing the load on more complex and expensive next stages of fine cleaning. Sedimentation allows also to carry out densification of suspensions or their classification by solid particles. The most common devices, working on sedimentation principle, are settlers (purification of liquids) and dust-settling chambers (gas purification). The mass of settled solids in suspensions forms a settlement. In the vast majority of cases, the structure of precipitation results in extremely difficult due to the different shape of solid particles and their chaotic conglomeration. It is characterized by such parameters as porosity (ε) representing the proportion of pore volume in residual volume, pore size and specific surface area (fsp). In this case, the specific surface of the porous medium (fpm) and the specific surface of the solid phase (fsp) are to be extracted. fпс = Fт/Vо; fтф = Fт/Vт; fтф = fпс/(1-ε); ε = (Vо-Vт)/Vо Vо – settlement volume, m³; Fт – total solid particles area in settlement volume Vо, m²; Vт – total solid particles volume in settlement volume Vо, m³. It is obvious that the pores shape and size in settlement can be very different and practically are not direct measurable. To describe them, parameter such as the hydraulic pore diameter (dг) is used. In the ideal case of a spherical solid particle diameter (d), the hydraulic pore diameter can be written as follows: dг = 2/3 · (ε·d)/(1-ε) Settlement humidity and saturation. Calculation The forming settlement also carries a part of liquid phase, and liquid content in settlement is characterized by a parameter called humidity (ω). Mass (ωm) and volume humidity (ωv) is to be singled out. The first shows the fluid mass per settlement mass unit, and the second - the volume of liquid per settlement volume unit. Two of these quantities can be related with the density of solid and liquid phases: ωо = [ωм·ρт/ρж] · [(1-ε)/(1-ωм)] ρs – solid phase density, kg/m³; ρl – liquid phase density, kg/m³. Settling filters. The equation of the effective forces per particle when settling in a filter As already mentioned above, the main driving force of the settling process is the gravity acting on the particles of dispersed phase, and the particle settling speed of dispersed phase can be considered as main process characteristic. Let’s consider a spherical particle with mass (mt) and diameter (d) moving in a viscous medium, which is impacted by series of forces: gravity (Fa), Archimedean buoyant force (Fа) and medium resistance force (Fс). According to this, we write the general equation of forces impacting on the particle: Fт - Fа - Fс = m · (dw/dt) Fт = mт·g = ρт·V·g = ρт · (π·d³)/6 · g; Fа = mж·g = ρж·V·g = ρж · (π·d³)/6 · g; Fс = ζ · S · (ρж·w²)/2; (ρж·w²)/2 – particle motion energy ζ – coefficient of resistance; ρт – solid particle density, kg/m³; ρж – liquid density, kg/m³; w – particle motion speed, m/sec; S – The midlength section, i.e. the most section by the body of plane which is perpendicular to the motion direction (for a spherical particle S = (π·d²)/4), m². As a rule, the acceleration time of particle is small, and it quickly goes to motion mode at constant velocity, so that we can lossless neglect the right side of the equation m dw / dt, taking it as 0. This implies: Fт-Fа-Fс = 0 The settling mode also has a great impact on the determining of final settling speed. For each of modes in which the liquid flows around the particle, the resistance coefficient value is calculated in different ways, and therefore the formula for settling speed calculating also changes. This makes the speed calculation according to the obtained formula uncomfortable, since without knowing the settlement mode in advance, it is necessary to use the method of consequential iterations while calculating. There is another method for calculating of settlement speed, based on the use of Archimedes number (Ar), which physical meaning is in the balance of gravity, viscosity, and Archimedean force. Like Reynolds number (Re), the Archimedes number has border values corresponding to the transition from one mode to another. Below is a table of settlement modes and respective values of Re and Ar, as well as formulas for calculating of resistance coefficient ζ. |Value Re||Re < 2||2 < Re < 500||Re > 500| |Value Ar||Ar < 36||36 < Ar < 83000||Ar > 83000| |Resistance coefficient fromula (ζ)||ζ = 24/Re||ζ = 18,5/Re0,6||ζ = 0,44| |Re = (ω·d)/ν; Ar = [g·d³·(ρт-ρж)] / [ν²·ρж]; Re²·ζ = (4/3)·Ar| The formulae mentioned above relate to the process of settling solids in liquid; they can be also applied for settling liquid droplets in gas. However it is recognized that the speed of settling a drop can be higher by half as the speed of settling a solid similar in size. This is because there is internal liquid circulation in the drop, which decreases by surface-active reagents or admixtures. The drops with low liquid circulation are called “hard” and their behavior can de described though the formulas used for solids. The increase of speed for non- contaminated drops has its limits also that conform to the critical drop diameter (dкр). The drop diameter value is calculated as the sphere diameter with volume equal to its volume. The drops with the overcritical diameter often have some shape changes during settling; therefore they are called “oscillating”. The further increase of the oscillating drop causes the return slight reduction of the settling speed. Also by hindered settling, the non-uniformity of speeds occurs as per the device height that results from the dispersed phase rising flow coming from the bottom and being displaced by the mass of settling particles of the dispersed phase, and as result it leads to retardation in the bottom layer. Moreover, the larger particles settle down faster in spite of partial grading of the settling speeds. This leads to formatting some settling zones. We can see that there is an almost completely free settling zone in the upper part of the device, a hindered settling zone in the middle of the device and a sediment layer on the bottom. Speed calculation for hindered settling in a settler-filter It is evident that hindered settling speed differs from free settling speed. As a rule, the different empirical and semiempirical formulae are sued for this purpose. One method for hindered settling speed calculation (wст) is based on that wст is a function of free settling speed (wсв) and a volume ratio of the dispersed phase (ε). Two calculation formulae are applied depended on ε: 1) wст = wсв · ε² · 10-1,82·(1-ε) (at ε>0,7) 2) wст = wсв · 0,123 · ε³ · [1/(1-ε)] (at ε≤0,7) The universal formula suitable for all settlings modes (laminar, transient, turbulent) can be used also: Reст = [Ar·ε4,74] / [18+0,6·√] Reст = (ρж·wст·d)/μж – Reynolds criterion for hindered settling; Ar = [ρж·g·d³·(ρт-ρж)]/μ² – Archimedes criterion; ρт – solid density, kg/m3; ρж – liquid density, kg/m3; μ – dynamic liquid viscosity, cPs; d – diameter of dispersed phase solids, m. The value d can be used only when spherical particles with the same size are involved in settling. When non- spherical particles settle, the diameter of sphere as value d will be considered, which is equal to the mass of the settling particle: d = ((6·Vч)/π)1/3 Vч – particle volume, m3. The correction index (ψ<1) is used to factor in deviations of shape and size, by which to multiply the received settling speed value: ψ = 4,836·(Vч2/3)/Sч Settling in centrifugal force field. Centrifugal force acts on the particle in a filter A serious disadvantage of standard settling process is its limited moving force – the gravitational force. The process is carried out in the centrifugal force field for its intensification, which can be created specially and reach high values compared with the gravitational field of the earth. Usually the centrifugal force field is created with one of two methods: a separating medium is fed into a rotating aggregate where the medium accepts rotating movements (centrifuge process); or the flow itself receives the rotating movement while the aggregate is fixed (cyclone process). As the name implies, settling centrifuges are used for the first method and cyclones (hydro cyclones) are used for the second one. The centrifugal force as a process moving force can de indicated according to the formula: Fц = (m·wr²)/r Fц – centrifugal force acts on the particle, N; m – particle mass,kg; r – circle radius of particle rotation, m; wr – linear speed of particle rotation, m/sec. To estimate the efficiency by centrifugal separation compared with standard one, the value as separation coefficient (Kp) equal to ratio of centrifugal force and gravitational force acting on the same particle: Kp = Fц/Fт = [(m·wr²)/r] / [m·g] = [wr²] / [r·g] Fт = m·g – gravitational force acting on the particle by mass (m). As rotary speed is often used instead for rotary aggregates of the linear one, it is required to make some modifications to receive the separation coefficient through rotation frequency. Linear speed and frequency are related to the following formula: wr = 2·π·r·n n – rotation particle frequency (aggregate), с-1. Substituting the received result into the formula for the separation coefficient we receive as follows: Kp = (2·π·r·n)²/(r·g) = (4·π²·n²·r)/g It is clear from the received equation that essential increase of the separation coefficient is reached by increasing the rotation frequency but not the centrifuge/cyclone diameter. The separation coefficient value can significantly differ among aggregates that depend on their usage and application. On the whole, the value Kр for cyclones is calculated in hundreds and this figure for centrifuges is calculated in thousands as rotary speed is higher there. Filtration. Filtration speed calculation Filtration is a process of separating a dispersed medium through a porous diaphragm. Pores are made to pass through one phase free and lock the other one. In fact, the process of separating is carried out due to holding some components on the diaphragm. If a suspension is filtered, the liquid passed through the diaphragm is called “filtrate” and the solids remain in the filter - “settlement”. Indeed the filtration process is more difficult as mainly the settlement layer forming on the diaphragm also has the essential impact on the process; it involves in filtration and becomes an additional porous wall. To be noted that hydraulic resistance of the filtration diaphragm is usually the same, more or less, within the process (except for when small particles hold inside pores reducing their passed size), while hydraulic resistance of the settlement rises with increase its thickness. It is clear that hydraulic resistance of the settlement is equal to zero at the beginning of the filtration process as there is not one. Other important factor for the settlement, impacting on the final hydraulic resistance value, is the ability to change or not change the porosity by increasing pressure. So the settlements are classified into compressible and non-compressible. The filtration process can be under different conditions, therefore some modes are identified: Filtration speed can be considered as filtrate’s volume passing per unit of time through unit of filtering surface: w = dV/(S·dτ) w – filtration speed, m/sec; V – filtrate volume, m3; S – filtration area, m2; τ – filtration time, sec. Also experience has shown that filtration speed is directly proportional to differential pressure of filter and inversely proportional to liquid viscosity as well as hydraulic resistance created by diaphragm and settlement layer: w = ∆p / [μ·(Rфп+Rсо)] μ – dynamic liquid viscosity, cPs; Rфп – hydraulic resistance of filtration diaphragm, м-1; Rсо – hydraulic resistance of settlement layer, м-1. Filtration in centrifugal force field The filtration process like the settling process can be intensified by its carrying out in centrifugal force field. The centrifuges with a slightly different structure compared with settling centrifuges are used for this purpose. Such centrifuge has a drum with screen surface and operates as a porous wall in the filter. Generally there are three process stages: settlement formation, settlement consolidation and then its mechanical drying. The filtration process in filters and filtrating centrifuges as well as the calculation methods differ essentially. One of the differences is the irregularity in the distribution of the main moving forces. For example, centrifugal force in a filtrating centrifuge is nonuniform and rises by increasing a radius. Moreover, a round centrifuge causes the change in settlement area because of its layer growth. However, the most important is the possibility to create the significant field of centrifugal forces. It can leads to that the particles contacting to the filtration wall will be distorted and clog up all passes and this will decrease the filtration speed essentially. The significant efforts acting on the settlement can also cause an excessive decrease of the settlement porosity at its bigger compressibility. Sometimes it is better to carry out the process in filters than in centrifuges though the centrifuge can reach higher pressures in liquid. Calculating and selecting the settling filters are based on the principle that the smallest particles of dispersed phase shall be separated from a medium to be cleaned, which are in the zone most difficult for settling. If this condition is ruled, then obviously the particles with big size will be settled also. The zone most difficult for settling is the suspension surface where the particle going from the bottom travels over the biggest distance and it means it requires more time. Let us denote the time of settling the particles the most distant from the bottom by τос.To provide settling of the particles of dispersed phase fully, their total residence time in an aggregate (τ) shall not be less τос. If τ≥τос, it means, that a part of the settler will be out of the settling process; if τ≤τос, not all particles will settle by passing through the settler, it means, the settling process will be not complete. As a simple example, let us consider the rectangular settler with length (l) and width (b), where a suspension with speed (v) flows, and height of liquid layer is (h). When residence time of the separate particle in the settler is follows: τ = l/v Because consumption of the cleaned liquid can be considered as the cross sectional area multiplied by flow speed (Qоч = v·h·b)), the residence time of the particle in the aggregate can be expressed in the consumption value: τ = (l·h·b)/Qоч = (h·F)/Qоч F – settling area of the settler, m2. In turn, let us denote the settling speed of the particles of dispersed phase as (wос), then the settling time (τос) of the particles the most distant from the bottom will be equal to: The condition for the complete particles settling is the equation τ = τос. Using the formula received before we transform this equation as follows: (h·F)/Qоч = h/ωос We express the value of settler settling area from the received equation: F = Qоч/ωос As is obvious, the value F does not depend on height and width of suspension speed directly, therefore the values h and b can be selected based on practical condition. It is only essential to provide the laminar mode for liquid flow to create the condition the most optimal for settling. Calculating and selecting the industrial filters When the filtration process is carried out as periodic, usually there are three consecutive stages: filtration, settlement flushing, secondary operations. Each stage requires the certain time, and their sum determines the total filtration cycle time. T = τф + τпр + τвс T – total filtration cycle time , sec; τф – time for carrying out filtration, sec; τпр – time for carrying out settlement flushing, sec; τвс – time for carrying out secondary operations, sec. Time for carrying out the filtration stage can be determined as per the formula: τф = [(r·Vос·q²)/(2·∆p)] + [Rфп·q)/∆p] r – specific resistivity of settlement, m-2; Vос – settlement volume for filtrate volume unit; q – specific capacity of filter, m³/m²; Δp – pressure drop at filtration, Pa; Rфп – hydraulic resistance of filtrating wall, m-1. Expressing q from the formula mentioned above we receive the design formula for specific capacity: q = √- [Rфп/(r·Vос)] Time to be required for flushing is calculated as follows: τпр = [Qпв·Vос·q·(rпр·Vос·q+Rфп)] /∆pпр Qпв – flow rate of flushed water related to settlement volume unit; Δpпр – pressure drop at flushing, Pa. Time for carrying out the secondary operations is selected based on the condition that capacity of the periodic filter is maximal by execution of the equation: τвс = τф+τпр Filter area is related to filtration cycle time through the following formula: F = (Qф·T)/q F – filtration area, m²; Qф – filter capacity for filtrate, m³/sec.

The meaning of OCD Obsessive thoughts and compulsions are usually seen as a strange way of the mind of expressing itself. They are perceived as appearing out of nowhere, without any apparent cause or reason. However, when obsessions or rituals emerge, we are actually observing a reaction of the body towards a heightened state of anxiety, and most likely our body has been giving us other signals of this anxiety for a long time. In this article we will explore what suffering from obsessive symptomatology means, how to explore this meaning in yourself and how to act when you notice the symptoms of OCD in yourself. Why OCD has a meaning I can sound strange but even though we’re used to perceive obsessions as a phenomenon that appears out of nowhere, which doesn’t have any relation to what is going on in our lives, this is not true. Many symptoms that we suffer from (mental and physical) can be highly influenced by both our current and past life experiences. For example: let’s consider someone who grew up in a very strict environment. Their opinion was not taken into account and their nature and personality were ignored systematically over time. It is possible that this person grows up with a lot of fear and anxiety, and that expressing themselves according to their true nature causes them stress. All this can put them in conflict when they decide how to act in a certain situation, because they have to choose to act according to their nature or according to what their environment expects from them. If this person does not manage this conflict and they do not break with their limiting environment, it is very likely they will develop a high level of anxiety. If this situation lasts long enough and the person does not liberate themselves, the central nerve system will become blocked. This causes the anxiety to become trapped in the mind and this is when an obsessive compulsive disorder can develop. This is why we cannot ignore that behind the symptoms of OCD there is always a more profound cause. How can I explore the meaning of my OCD? Suffering from OCD should cause us to become curious. We have to analyze what is causing our symptoms. Every case of OCD, without exceptions, indicates us that we have ignored our needs or that we haven’t tuned into them for a long time. It is also possible that we have been disregarded our true nature or haven’t acted according to it. Oftentimes, it is not easy to observe what we actually need and if we manage it is likely that it generates us even more stress and anxiety. How is this possible? The moment we find out what is bothering us; means there is a point of no-return: We either live on with our obsessive symptoms, or we make important changes and work on overcoming our OCD. How come it is so difficult to make the right changes? Usually, when we try to make changes in order to overcome OCD, we focus on the wrong things. In order to understand this better we will compare OCD to an iceberg which floats in the sea. When we see the iceberg we are only able to perceive its peak. In the case of OCD this would be the obsessions and rituals. However, under the sea there is an entire mountain of ice which you can only see the moment you submerge into the ice-cold water. As you dive into the water the first thing you’ll see is the steep hillside of the iceberg. You could compare this to the trapped anxiety in OCD. Most people are still able to perceive this anxiety in themselves, however not many people are able to see that it is this anxiety who causes the obsessions and rituals and not vice versa. Now when we dive deeper and get into more profound waters is when we reach the beginning of the iceberg. It is here where we find the true causes of the anxiety and the obsessive symptoms. Most people are not conscientious about these causes which are actually maintaining the obsessive symptoms. That is why it is so difficult to make the right changes in order to overcome OCD. Most people are so stuck in a limiting situation that it is difficult for them to see it is causing them stress, and more important they can perceive it as impossible to get out of it. Focus on the true cause This is why it is so important not to focus on the only visible part of OCD: the symptoms, and to start analyzing what is behind them. We have to start at the top and submerge until we reach the true cause. These causes can be different for everyone and can be difficult to find. It is recommendable to seek help from a health professional in this process. Once we have analyzed all this we can move on to the next step: implementing the necessary changes in order to free ourselves from anxiety or an inhibiting environment, and to start living a passionate life which is adapted to our true nature. What should I do once I observe symptoms of OCD in myself? It is very important to look for help once you notice symptoms of OCD in yourself. It is very difficult to overcome OCD without the help of a professional. Many people wait too long before they come and see us and suffer unnecessarily. With the right help you can overcome OCD! In IPITIA we are specialized in treating OCD and we cure our clients in 80% of the cases. OCD has an important meaning: it indicates us that we’re not tuning into our real needs and are not living our life according to our true nature! If you would like to know more about OCD or about how we treat OCD in IPITIA feel free to contact us through firstname.lastname@example.org or by phone at: (+34) 93 528 23 53.

Background:Lymphedema is one of the major treatment complications following breast cancer surgery and radiation. As the majority of women who develop breast cancer are at the age of employment, occupational functioning and employment are issues of concern. This study is novel in exploring the ways that lymphedema affects their work experience.Methods:A multiple-case study methodology drawn from Yin’s definition was employed. A total of 13 female survivors who developed breast cancer–related lymphedema participated by completing a survey and a 60-min semi-structured interview.Results:Four main themes emerged: (1) breast cancer–related lymphedema affects physical and emotional functioning associated with work; (2) ongoing treatment for breast cancer–related lymphedema creates challenges for work; (3) environmental factors affect the return-to-work experience; and (4) personal factors play a key role in adjusting to return-to-work.Conclusion:Both breast cancer–related lymphedema and its treatment have direct and indirect effects on work, with environmental and personal factors also shaping the work-return experience. This study suggests that breast cancer survivors with lymphedema who wish to return to work face potential barriers, and that gaps remain in the availability of supports.

Next time someone complains that you are being condescending, use one of our great comebacks below. Do you have an even better comeback? If so, let us know and leave a comment below. Vote for the best comeback if someone calls you condescending Definition of a condescending person A condescending person is someone who believes that they are better than anyone else. They show this in how they interact with people. Condescending people talk down and disregard others’ feelings. They act as if they are better in every aspect, making people around them feel bad. These individuals usually use sarcasm and offensive language in communicating. They are prone to belittle and make people feel inferior. Of course, using belittling language is harmful and disrespectful. Chances are, people will want to avoid hanging out with you. Condescension leads to negative interactions and strains relationships. Nurturing healthy relationships requires treating others with respect. How to deal with being called condescending While being called condescending can be an eye-opener, it can still hurt. It can be challenging, but here are helpful ways to deal with being called condescending.: - Listen and understand: Being condescending is nothing to be proud of. It’s essential to listen and understand how others feel about your actions. One step to understanding is respectfully asking what specific action or words made them feel hurt. As they narrate, try to assess yourself and find a way to improve how you respond during these situations. - Reflect on your behaviour if people call you condescending: Find time to be quiet and reflect on your actions. Try to think back at times when you may have come across as dismissive or superior towards others. Identifying specific behaviours can help you work on changing them. - Practice empathy: Practicing better responses is challenging and can take time. You need to work your way to it slowly. You can start by listening to others’ stories and acknowledging their experiences. Perhaps you can give out advice that you think might help them. Practice respect and support your loved ones in their journey and celebrate with them during their successes. - Use positive language: Positivity brings smiles and good energy. Try to change your communication style into a positive one. Use positive words in daily conversations instead of sarcasm, belittling, and passive-aggressive actions. Be respectful and compassionate when talking to other people. - Seek support: Consider visiting a therapist if being called condescending impacts your mental health. They would know the healthiest way to deal with your emotions. Humility and treating others like equals are good traits to practice. Remember that you are not the centre of the world. Treating others with respect and kindness is important. This way, you contribute to creating a healthy social environment.

The comedian and political commentator has often exhibited a condescending attitude. He is condescending towards those who disagree with his views.

Arshdeep Rattol – Candidate VP Academic My name is Arshdeep Rattol and I’m running to be your next VP Academic. I’m currently in my third year of a double major in psychology and biology. This year I’ve served as Director of Mini Study Groups (MSGs) and previously have been an MSG tutor as well. My main goal is to improve the amount of academic support students have, both in terms of tangible resources and awareness about opportunities. I specifically want to focus more on first-year student life as that can often be more challenging than later years. Here are my major areas of focus: - Creating online, course specific facebook groups for first-years so that students can post questions/concerns and receive peer support in the academic domain. - Compiling recent syllabi so that degree planning can be more optimal. - Making the process about involvement in research more clear and accessible. - Increasing the interconnectivity among COSSA groups to better benefit the science student community overall. Thank you for your time. It is truly much appreciated!

Discover more from Evening Post and Mail To be a warning to others On graffiti, the Oval Office, and the case for a national Hall of Shame It would be a thoroughly American act to open a national Hall of Shame for former Presidents. Perhaps we could combine it with a tribute to graffiti. ■ Should we have some reverence for those who have served their country with dignity, courage, and good faith? Sure. But we've also had some pretty awful occupants of the Oval Office, and they ought to be shamed for it. Eternally. ■ That's how to police future behavior: By heckling the bad behavior of the past. There's room for more faces on Mount Rushmore, at least metaphorically, and people like Madison and Eisenhower deserve a place there. ■ But naming and shaming the bad Presidents is good for shaping the expectations for future leadership. Few people are immune to at least some consideration about how they will be remembered. Those who are so immune aren't likely to be constrained by social graces anyway. ■ It takes a while, of course, to figure out who's a real failure and who was under-appreciated in their own time, and we're always subject to a bias in favor of proximity: Things that are closer in time or space tend to seem bigger than they really are. But keeping up a lively assessment of the past helps to put the present in better perspective.

Search Issue Tracker Fixed in 2021.1.X [IMGUI] MaskField & StaticFlags multi-edit control behavior should be improved Step to reproduce: - Setup two gameObject (go1 and go2) with a component using MaskField. Be sure the MaskField could have 3 or more different mask. (MeshRenderer should use it for RenderingLayerMask with enough different masks). - Set the MaskField with first field f1 on go1 in Inspector. - Set the MaskField with second field f2 on go2 in Inspector. - Select both go1 and go2 (see that the mixed value state is applied). - Edit the mask field by selecting third field f3 (note that the mixed value state disappeared which is certainly an issue too regarding what we could attend from this). What we is expected: - go1 should have the masks f1 and f3 - go2 should have the masks f2 and f3 What can be seen: - Both go1 and go2 have the same value. This seams to depend in what order go1 and go2 have been selected. As a user, I expect each mask on the field to react like a checkbox. This means that if I multi-edit a mask on the field that: - is active on only a part of the selected object, all selected should have it set to active. - is active on all selected object, all selected should have it set to not active. - is not active on all selected object, all selected should have it set to active. Also, I'm pretty sure this could be more clear if the mixed value state (or not) was displayed in front of each mask when opening the dropdown. This in addition to have it on the selected one area as now. All about bugs View bugs we have successfully reproduced, and vote for the bugs you want to see fixed most urgently. - Mouse inputs cannot be inputted when searching the Shortcuts Menu by type "Shortcut" - "Debug Assertion Failed!" error when launching Windows Dedicated Server Player with Script Debugging enabled - [Cinematic Studio][3D HDRP] Shader warnings thrown in the Console window when creating a new project with Cinematic Studio template - Autoplay is triggered on Audio Assets when changing Asset Bundle tags - Inspector Asset Bundle section has no indication for Variants, AssetBundle is written without a space, and Variant dropdown menu is available without setting the Asset Bundle first

NC Dinos’ Koo Chang-mo has made the Asian Games roster in dramatic fashion. Koo Chang-mo was named to the final 24-man roster for the Hangzhou Asian Games baseball team announced by the KBO on Monday. The Asian Games baseball team is open to players who 먹튀검증 are 24 years old or younger or in their fourth year of professional baseball. Koo, 26, was selected as a wild card. He has been touted as the next national left-handed ace after Kim Kwang-hyun and Yang Hyun-jong, so it’s a big role for him to play at the Asian Games. Koo is currently rehabbing. On February 2, he started against the LG Twins in Jamsil, and after throwing five pitches in the first inning, he felt pain in his elbow and voluntarily went on the DL. He was diagnosed with a flexor muscle strain and is scheduled to rehab for about three weeks. His inclusion in the roster means that the national team coaching staff and the strength and conditioning committee will need him even after his recovery. Koo expects to return to the first team before the All-Star break in July at the earliest. To speed up his return, he traveled to Iijima Nursing Home in Japan, a center that specializes in rehabilitation, and is currently in a rehabilitation program there. The injury came just before the Asian Games roster was finalized, and there were some concerns that Koo might be dropped. KT Wiz’s Choi Soo-joon, another starter who was expected to make the team, is out for the season after undergoing elbow surgery. Koo Chang-mo himself was worried and disappointed, but at least he had a chance to wear the Korean flag again. “I’m happy and grateful to be named to the Asian Games roster in such a difficult situation,” he said, “but I was actually worried about it (the injury), and my expectations of being selected were a bit low.” “I want to show a good performance as much as you trusted me and selected me, and I will definitely come back healthy and repay you with a performance that doesn’t disappoint,” said Koo Chang-mo. NC head coach Kang In-hwa also said, “I’m willing to go to Japan on my own to get better. If everything goes smoothly, a quick return is possible. He wants to come back and play sooner than anyone else.”

Turning 3 months! Lovely, challenging and so much fun 🙂 Yes. This is Niki. Just about 3 months old. Unfortunately the little one missed the newborn photography session. As early as her mom Sepideh found our studio in North Vancouver she booked us as we recommended to. After the newborn session (no matter missed it or have done it), most of the parents love to have series of in studio pictures before the baby turns 1 year. The best way to show how amazingly the kids change and grow up is to photograph them every 3 months. The recommended times are Newborn (within first 14 days of their life), 3,6, 9 months old and for sure the first year celebration with cake smash not the last, but one of the most memorable. Regarding to our kids and newborn photography experience, for a 3 months baby the best time is when they have reactions and eye contacts as well as being comfortable to lie on tummy. It is when they are strong enough to straight their arms and neck with smiling face.

In April this year the International Maritime Organization (IMO) outlined its vision to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050. This, along with other policy initiatives such as reducing the sulphur content in marine fuels and emission control areas, is driving technological changes across the shipping sector aimed at reducing airborne emissions. An obvious way to reduce airborne emissions produced by ships is to reduce the amount of fuel they use both for propulsion and for electrical power. For example, a large bulk carrier uses around 40 metric tons of heavy fuel oil each day. This is the type of ship that carries, for example, iron ore from Australia to Japan, and globally there are hundreds of these types of ships operating today. So, reducing fuel consumption by just 10% on bulk carriers alone would save thousands of metric tons of fuel per year. The burning of marine fuels on ships also produces emissions that are harmful to human health. It has been estimated that airborne pollution caused by ships leads to the premature deaths of approximately 400,000 people per year. The concern extends to passengers on the deck of a cruise ship who can be exposed to dangerous levels of air pollution. Renewable Energy for Ships Although renewable energy technologies are increasingly used on land, they are not yet in widespread use on ships. In Japan, the use of foldable rigid sails to reduce fuel consumption has been explored in the past, and in the 1980s several ships were fitted with “JAMDA” sails. These sails did reduce fuel consumption. However, when oil prices fell, interest in this promising technology waned. More recently, a project was started in 2010 in Fukuoka, Japan, aimed at bringing rigid sails back onto ships. Initially this project involved only the technology start-up company Eco Marine Power (EMP), and its main focus was on developing a new type of rigid sail. This new type of patented rigid sail has become known as the EnergySail, and the system that combines these with solar power is designated as Aquarius Marine Renewable Energy (MRE). These technologies led to a project to design a ship using both sail and solar power, now known as the Aquarius Eco Ship Project. The EnergySail is a device that enables ships to reduce fuel consumption by being raised when wind conditions are favorable and acting as a sail. It can also be fitted with flexible solar panels, thereby providing a source of electrical power for the ship as well. Solar panels can also be located on other areas of the ship. Other companies have joined the Aquarius Eco Ship project as development work has progressed. KEI System, based in Osaka, became involved early on and is assisting with the development of the automated control system for the EnergySail. Teramoto Iron Works, located in Onomichi, Hiroshima Prefecture, joined the project in 2014 and is now responsible for the manufacturing of the EnergySail. This company was also involved in the production of the JAMDA sails in the 1980s and is one of the few companies in the world that has produced rigid sails. In 2014, the Furukawa Battery Company (head office: Yokohama) began working with Eco Marine Power during the trials in Greece of a marine solar power system on-board the high-speed ferry Blue Star Delos. This project tested various sub-systems that will be used for Aquarius MRE and helped promote the Aquarius Eco Ship project internationally. Since then, agreements have been signed with several international shipping companies to study EMP’s technologies, and a project to install another solar power system on a large cargo ship is underway. An outdoor test area is being established next to the Teramoto Iron Works Chojahara Workshop in Onomichi as part of the ongoing development activities. The TM-600—a jack-up rig design—is already located in this test area. A marine solar power system will also be installed at the site this year. A pre-production EnergySail is also located inside one of the workshops and will be relocated to the area in the future. Toward Commercial Release At the recent “Sea Japan International Maritime Exhibition and Conference” in Tokyo this year, all companies involved in the project exhibited a range of technologies, including, for the first time, the public display of an EnergySail lab prototype and its automated control system. Pleasingly, there was a lot of interest shown in the EnergySail, and plans are underway to begin production for commercial release. This will be the final part of the overall Aquarius MRE solution to be prepared for the market, as the solar power system, batteries, and computer system are now ready. It is hoped that the project will attract further investors during the next couple of years. There are also plans are being made to co-operate with shipyards to further promote the EnergySail and Aquarius MRE within Japan and internationally. This will allow Japan to produce unique low-emission ships ready for the IMO-reduced emission targets, as well as save shipowners money from reduced fuel consumption. The goal is to have everything ready by 2020 and transform the vision of the Aquarius Eco Ship into reality!

From the introduction: "A party of young people agreed to hold weekly meetings at each other's homes, to discuss, among themselves, various topics of interest. "One evening, quite a lively debate upon the merits and demerits of Psychic, Mesmerism, animal Magnetism, Spiritualism, or whatever else the mysterious power may be called, arose and was hotly contested by both sides. "The works of Hugh Conway, R. L. Stevenson, H. Rider Haggard and others were quoted during the argument and the mention of books switched the conversation into a new channel, viz -- The want of originality in the generality of modern American fiction. "The cut and dried, blood and thunder mawkishly sentimental styles were all treated to a scathing criticism and several well-known writers were spoken of in anything but flattering terms. "Finally someone said, 'Although none of present claim any great literary ability, yet I think, if we were to apply ourselves, we could write something much more original than nine-tenths of the books now offered to the reading public.' "There were a dozen or more who cried, 'Indeed we could.' 'Suppose you try it, then,' said a voice in the back of the room. "The speaker was the father of the young man at whose house we met, and had shown great interest in our discussion. 'If,' he continued, 'you young people will write the stories, I will give a prize of one hundred dollars for the best one, and let you award yourselves, by vote.'" And so we have the conceit for this collection. These fictional young men wrote their stories and, unable to decide among themselves which was best, decided to publish what they considered the ten best and let the reader decide. - "The Modern Mephistopheles" A student of Goethe travels to a German castle where Faust was said to have lived and there conjures up Mephistopheles. Sadly (?) the demon is somewhat of a weakened state because more people are believing in Civilization, Enlightenment, Rationalism, and Bob Ingersoll (a well-known agnostic of the time) than in he. As the cock crowed in the morning, Mephistopheles goes to grab the student but cannot because the student is a Rationalist. The student wakes up. Was this a dream? - "Behind the Scenes" An advertisement for one hundred extras for a Boston opera product of "L'Africaine" has drawn a group of Harvard students to apply as a lark. Mayhem ensues as the over-eager students add a bit of realism and enthusiasm to a battle scene. Things go downhill from there. - "Out of the Sea" Doctors have recommended that young Ned, exhausted from overwork, take a long rest on a sea voyage. Ned's father offers his yacht and insists that Ned's good friend (the narrator) join Ned. As the yacht heads toward the Azores a might storm arises and blows the ship off course. The passengers and crew find themselves stuck in a mass of seaweed off the coast of an unknown island. On the island they discover large ancient ruins covered in seaweed. While there, an earthquake destroys the ruins and begins to sink the strange island, which -- as you can guess -- is Atlantis. - "Love and Creed" When Percy and and Mildred were married, Miss Pratt predicted that Mildred will find nothing but unhappiness. That was because Miss Pratt, "a sour old maid" and highly religious, knew that Percy was --(gasp!) -- an agnostic! But the couple had a very happy marriage and bore a very happy son. Mildred stopped going to church of her own will, although she remained a Christian, and she and Percy agreed not to saddle their child with religion until he was old enough to understand, then both parents would calmly explain their opposing views to the boy and let him decide. When the boy was five, Miss Pratt decided that enough was enough and tried to inculcate the child with her view of God and religion. This led to a discussion of viewpoints that bored me. In the end the child falls in a river and he and Percy nearly drown because the story needed some action happening somewhere. - "A Dual Life" Daniel, the son of a poor cobbler, has made friends with Vera, the squire's daughter. Together they travel the Land of Fancy where, as an adult Daniel narrates from his room in the madhouse, he is the rightful Prince of the Land of Fancy and Vera is his Princess. For Daniel this is a real place and he goes there often to escape the horrors of his life. The squire puts the kibosh on the children's innocent flirtation and Vera is sent away, eventually to return with a husband. Daniel, for his part, married a slatternly drunkard who, in his alternate reality is Vera. The real Vera dies, then Daniel is accused of killing his wife. But Daniel knows he is innocent because he left his wife to go with Vera into the Land of Fancy. - "Society, vs: Societies" When Mr. Vernon moved to a small town after spending much of his life in New York Society, all the eligible women flocked to him. He wanted to teach them the manners and customs of polite society but in that he failed. Disgusted he avoided the women and began to hang out with the young men, whom he greatly impressed. Vernon formed a very successful Bachelor's Club with the young men, to the point where the women were ignored and for some two years there hadn't been a marriage in the town. The women got together and formed their own club to strike back at the men. Things got smoothed over and the bachelors -- including Vernon -- soon found themselves wed in this "the biter bit" tale. - "The Living Dead" A young doctor is called to a neighboring house by a woman who said her tenant has had a serious accident. The tenant, an incredibly old man, was dead -- a large picture frame had fallen and struck his head, but there was no blood from the injury as would have been expected. The tenant had been with the woman for decades and, for at least twenty years, lay in the bed comatose, being spoon-fed soup and milk by his landlady. His only possession was a small box. When the undertakers came to collect the body the next morning, it had putrefied and decayed. A manuscript in the box indicated that the dead man was 175 years old and, in his youth while working with an alchemist, he had ingested the elixir of life, making him immortal save from accident. The elixir, however, only kept his mind young while his body continued to age with all the infirmities man is prone to. - "The Talisman: A Fairy Tale for Grown Up Children" Rolf, the son of a poor woodcutter, has fallen in love with the baron's daughter, whom he had seen just once when they stopped to ask for some water. When his father died, he left Rolf with only a magic pen, warning him never to loose it. The baron has proclaimed that his daughter would be given to whomever presented him with a certain talisman of power, but neither the baron nor anyone else knew what the talisman was, only that it had great power. Told by a hermit that the greatest power on earth was knowledge, Rolf began to study and became one of the most learned men in the world. But knowledge was not the talisman the baron sought. Eventually Rolf did find the talisman and marry the baron's daughter. And what was the talisman? You will have to read this shaggy dog story to find out. - "The Mystery of Death" An odd little story about a professed spiritualist who, in hopes that he might divine some message, was called to the deathbed of a man unable to communicate. - "The Little Model" A little morality story about the double standard between men and women. Artist Joe Hall convinces a pretty girl to pose innocently for him and tried to take things a bit further only to rebuffed. It is for Joe's betterment that he has been denied. Ho hum. And that's it. Ten stories, told in ten different voices, with ten different subjects. A fast read and, for the most part, an entertaining one. The reader is left with a question: which story should be considered the best. Which would you pick?

With Spring being in full swing, I really should’ve delved into all things peas already. I knew I wanted a dish for it to shine and well, who doesn’t love pesto?! Olive oil, cheese, and nuts – yes, yes and yes. I have a brilliant surprise – I usually buy vegan Parmesan cheese, but I finally came up with a recipe!! Look out for that VERY soon but basically I’ll be adding it to all the things. I’ve finished half of it in one day already…send help. Actually, don’t.

Nathan's Famous hot dog eating contest on Coney Island is finally giving women their own division. However, since they are women and are probably watching their figures/their appetites are akin to that of tiny, fragile birds/additional cliche, they will be offered four times less in prize money: The argument is that women are physically smaller than men, that the new division might draw more female competitors, and all of the other reasons commonly given for putting women in a separate category in any field. Even if that were true (and not some sort of "pulled out of someone's ass" theorem), the difference in pay would be nominal, right?: The first place winner in the men's division gets $10,000, and the winner of the women's division gets a mere $2,500. Wow. Okay. Well, at least this story has hit the apex of ridiculousness at this point. Just kidding. No it did not. Yet: The men's division splits $20,000 between its first through fifth place winners, while the women's division only splits $5,000. In fact, Eatfeats, the blog that tracks all things competitive eating, crunched the numbers and discovered that the women's first place prize of $2,500 is actually equal to the mens' third-place prize. The hits just keep on coming. So gals, you're tiny, you hardly eat anything anyway, it's nice that you tried, we'll even give you your own division and a little bit of money, too! Sure, it's a little bit less and then if you really think about it, it's almost nothing but just think about how famous you'll be! And what's more valuable than that???: George Shea, chairman of the event's sponsor Major League Eating, told CNN "although the money is meaningful, the instant celebrity for the first female hot dog-eating champion will make up for the shortfall." So if any of you are reading this and thinking about how you've never needed money because someone's always pampered you, AND you have a "strangely" large appetite for a girl (which, judging by the prize money, still won't be nearly as big as a man's anyway), go out there and take your best shot at winning that (women's) first place prize*!!! (*See: Men's third-place prize.)

Phillips v. Austin Diagnostic Surgery Ctr., 2018 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 33329 (W.D. Tex. Mar. 1, 2018): BE IT REMEMBERED on this day the Court reviewed the file in the above-styled cause, and specifically Defendant Austin Diagnostic (Austin Diagnostic) Clinic Association (Austin Diagnostic)'s1 Motion for Attorneys' Fees and Supporting Brief [#17, #18] and Plaintiff Amanda Kaye Phillips's Response [#20] in opposition. Having reviewed the documents, the governing law, the arguments of counsel, and the file as a whole, the Court now enters the following opinion and orders. On February 2, 2018, this Court entered an amended order adopting Magistrate Judge Andrew W. Austin's Report and Recommendation advising the Court dismiss Plaintiff's pro se complaint as frivolous under 28 U.S.C § 1915(e)(2). Am. Order of Feb. 2, 2018 [#14]. This Court agreed Plaintiff's complaint was frivolous, concluding Plaintiff failed to allege she was discriminated on a basis that would fit under either the Equal Pay Act or Title VII and failed [*2] to claim she exhausted her administrative remedies as required under Title VII. Id. After reviewing Plaintiff objections to the Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation, the Court overruled Plaintiff's objections and dismissed Plaintiff's complaint with prejudice. Id. On February 20, 2018, Plaintiff filed a notice of appeal. Austin Diagnostic moves for attorneys' fees under 28 U.S.C. § 1927. Mot. Att'y Fees [#17]. Plaintiff does not contest Austin Diagnostic's right to a fee award. Instead, Plaintiff argues she cannot afford to pay Austin Diagnostic's request for attorneys' fees and she should be compensated for her time in bringing this lawsuit. Austin Diagnostic's pending motion for attorneys' fees is now ripe for review. I. Legal Standards A. Attorneys' Fees Under 28 U.S.C. § 1927 28 U.S.C. § 1927 provides that, "[a]ny attorney or other person admitted to conduct cases in any court of the United States or any Territory thereof who so multiplies the proceedings in any case unreasonably and vexatiously may be required by the court to satisfy personally the excess costs, expenses, and attorneys' fees reasonably incurred because of such conduct." To find a party multiplied proceedings "unreasonably" and "vexatiously," there [*3] must "be evidence of bad faith, improper motive, or reckless disregard of the duty owed to the court." Procter & Gamble Co. v. Amway Corp., 280 F.3d 519, 525 (5th Cir. 2002). But § 1927 only authorizes "shifting fees that are associated with the persistent prosecution of a meritless claim." Id. (quotation omitted). B. Sanctions under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11 Rule 11 permits the Court to impose an appropriate sanction if a pleading, motion, or other paper is presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass or needlessly increase the cost of litigation, or if the claims or arguments therein are frivolous. See FED. R. Crv. P. 11(b). "[T]he central purpose of Rule 11 is to deter baseless filings in district court and thus... streamline the administration and procedure of federal court." Cooter & Gell v. Hartmarx Corp., 496 U.S. 384, 393 (1990). The Court must carefully choose sanctions that further the purpose of the Rule and should impose the least severe sanctions that would adequately deter its violation. See Thomas v. Capital Security Servs., Inc., 836 F.2d 866, 875-76 (5th Cir. 1988). When warranted, sanctions may include an order directing payment to an opposing party of some or all of the reasonable attorney's fees or costs incurred as a result of the violation. See Merriman v. Security Ins. Co. of Hartford, 100 F.3d 1187, 1191 (5th Cir. 1996); Fed. R Civ. P. 11(c)(2). The Court also possesses inherent power to "protect the efficient and orderly administration of justice . . . to command respect for the court's orders, judgments, procedures, [*4] and authority." In re Stone, 986 F.2d 898, 902 (5th Cir. 1993). Included in this inherent power is "the power to levy sanctions in response to abusive litigation practices." See Mendoza v. Lynaugh, 898 F.2d 191, 195-97 (5th Cir. 1993). No pro se litigant has the "license to harass others, clog the judicial machinery with meritless litigation, and abuse already overloaded court dockets." Farguson v. MBank Hous., N.A., 808 F.2d 358, 360 (5th Cir. 1986). In addition to monetary sanctions, "[a] district court has jurisdiction to impose a pre-filing injunction to deter vexatious, abusive, and harassing litigation." Baum v. Blue Moon Ventures, 513 F.3d 181, 187 (5th Cir. 2008). In determining whether to impose such an injunction, the Court must weigh all of the relevant circumstances, including the following four factors: (1) the party's history of litigation, in particular whether she has filed vexatious, harassing, or duplicative lawsuits; (2) whether the party had a good faith basis for pursuing the litigation, or simply intended to harass; (3) the extent of the burden on the courts and other parties resulting from the party's filings; and (4) the adequacy of alternative sanctions. See id. at 189. A pre-filing injunction must be "tailored to protect the courts and innocent parties, while preserving the legitimate rights of litigants." Id. at 187. Austin Diagnostic's motion for attorneys' fees requests a total fee [*5] award of $13,938.00 under 28 U.S.C. § 1927. Supp. Br. [#18] at 1. But the Fifth Circuit has not determined whether a pro se litigant can be sanctioned under § 1927.2See Simmons v. Methodist Hosps. of Dallas, 632 F. App'x 784, 787 n.5 (5th Cir. 2015) ("We note that this court has not yet addressed whether a pro se litigant can be subject to sanctions under section 1927 and need not do so today."). District courts within the Fifth Circuit are split on "whether a pro se litigant can be subject to sanctions under § 1927, with the majority finding they cannot." Barcroft v. Gibbs, No. 416CV00562ALMCAN, 2017 WL 1499247, at *5 (E.D. Tex. Apr. 5, 2017), report and recommendation adopted, No. 4:16-CV-562, 2017 WL 1498532 (E.D. Tex. Apr. 25, 2017) (collecting district court cases evaluating if a pro se litigant can be sanction under § 1927). Given the lack settled authority, this Court denies Austin Diagnostic's request to impose § 1927 sanctions on Plaintiff. Instead, the Court applies Rule 11 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In dismissing Plaintiff's suit against Austin Diagnostic, this Court agreed with Magistrate Judge Austin Plaintiff's claims were frivolous. Moreover, in commencing this suit, Plaintiff filed a complaint identical to a petition Plaintiff had filed in a state court case non-suited with prejudice. See Mot. Dismiss [#8-1] Ex. A (State Litigation R.). In addition to this lawsuit, Plaintiff has filed at [*6] least seven cases in the Western District of Texas since the beginning of 2017, two of which have been dismissed. See Phillips v. Hunter Warfield, Inc., No. A-17-CV-939 (W.D. Tex. Jan. 19, 2018) (dismissing claims as frivolous); Phillips v. Christus Santa Rosa Healthcare Corporation, No. SA-17-CA-0421-FB (W.D. Tex. Sept. 29, 2017) (dismissing claims for failure to state a claim). Sanctions under Rule 11 are necessary to deter Plaintiff's baseless filings as well as compensate Austin Diagnostic for the costs of defending against Plaintiff's second suit in this court. However, the amount requested by Austin Diagnostic is excessive. At most, Austin Diagnostic filed a motion to dismiss in defending this lawsuit.3 Given the minimal amount of work necessary to defend this lawsuit, the Court estimates approximately ten hours of work were required to draft Austin Diagnostic's seven-page motion to dismiss. The Court adopts the reasonable hourly rate provided by Austin Diagnostic for an associate lawyer, $250 per hour. Supp. Br. [#18] at 3. As a result, the Court awards Austin Diagnostic $2,500 in attorneys' fees and costs. Until Plaintiff pays Austin Diagnostic, Plaintiff shall not file additional lawsuits [*7] within the Western District of Texas without first obtaining leave. IT IS ORDERED that Defendant Austin Diagnostic Clinic Association's Motion for Attorneys' Fees [#17] is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART as described in this opinion; IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff Amanda Phillips SHALL PAY TWO THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS to Austin Diagnostic Clinic Association for attorneys' fees or costs incurred as a result of this litigation; IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Austin Diagnostic Clinic Association SHALL NOTIFTY this Court when Amanda Phillips tenders the TWO THOUSAND AND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS; and IT IS FINALLY ORDERED that Plaintiff Amanda Phillips, in any capacity, is BARRED from filing additional lawsuits in the Western District of Texas without first obtaining leave from a Federal District Judge in the Western District of Texas, Austin Division, or a Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit until she pays the sanctions against her. SIGNED this the 1st day of March 2018. /s/ Sam Sparks SENIOR UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 1 Austin Diagnostic Clinic Association was incorrectly names as Austin Diagnostic Clinic Surgery Center in this lawsuit. 2 Austin Diagnostic failed to highlight the fact the Fifth Circuit has yet to endorse § 1927 sanctions for pro se litigants or the fact that district courts within the Fifth Circuit are split on whether § 1927 can be applied to pro se litigants. In a case where Austin Diagnostic's counsel is the only counsel of record and Plaintiff is unrepresented, Austin Diagnostic's failure to highlight adverse authority comes perilously close to violating the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct. See Tex. Disciplinary Rules Prof 1 Conduct R. 3.03(a)(4), reprinted in TEX. GOV'T CODE ANN., tit. 2, subtit. G, app. A, art. 10, § 9 (West 2013). Rule 3.03(a)(4) prohibits a lawyer from "fail[ing] to disclose to the tribunal authority in the controlling jurisdiction known by the lawyer to be directly adverse to the position of the client and not disclosed by opposing counsel." Id. The local rules of the Western District of Texas require attorneys practicing before it to "comply with the standards of professional conduct set out in the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct." Local Rule AT-7(a). 3 The Court is not convinced Austin Diagnostic's motion to dismiss was necessary as it was filed after Judge Austin entered his report and recommendation advising this Court to dismiss Plaintiff's suit as frivolous.
