Boom bap is a style of production in hip-hop music. The term "boom bap" is an onomatopoeia for the drum sounds prominent in boom bap. It is usually recognized by an acoustic drum loop/break that is then chopped up and played using a sampler such as the Akai MPC or the SP1200. The term was popularized by the album Return of the Boom Bap by KRS-One.
Boom bap production was associated with producers from New York City in the late 1980s and early 1990s, such as DJ Premier, Pete Rock, KRS-One, Q-tip, Ali Shaheed Muhammad, EPMD, RZA, Marley Marl, Large Professor. The production style was also employed by producers outside of New York City, such as J Dilla in Detroit and People Under The Stairs in Los Angeles.
Although it is still made, boom bap is no longer the dominant style of hip-hop production, remaining somewhat prominent in alternative hip hop but rarely appearing in Top 40 hip hop singles. In recent years the boom bap production style has made a slight comeback through artists such as Joey Bada$$, Pro Era and associated acts.
·Having a "drunken" or "trippy" quality to its rhythm. Most other hip-hop beats has even eighth and sixteenth notes, but many examples of boom-bap are only even at the quarter note level -- the eighth notes may be offbeat.
·Soul music, jazz, R&B and reggae sampling is utilized. This could be said about 90s hip-hop in general though. Boom-bap beats are most often funky.
·Relatively less dense drum loops. Often, a boom-bap measure is just quarter notes (kick-snare-kick-snare). Eighth-notes are less emphasized but are crucial to making the boom-bap sound because they are placed offbeat to create that drunken or trippy quality. However, less dense drums does not mean it's simpler -- it takes craftsmanship to find samples that go well with snare drums.
·Pick-up notes. They tend to be very close to the upbeat of the note it picks up to, especially noticeable in the kick drum. Sometimes the note it picks up to is even substituted completely by the pick-up note.

Only once you understand the full potential of trusts do you appreciate why, despite some disadvantages, trusts make excellent estate planning and asset protection instruments. Every trust is unique, even though it falls within a specific category, and the primary function is to protect the property or assets transferred to the trust.
It can be established to protect the family’s assets or to ensure that your children will have adequate income if you are no longer around to take care of them. The trust must be set up to meet your specific requirements and this is where the expertise of trust lawyers is appreciated.
- Protects assets after you have passed away.
- Can exist for an infinite period.
- Protects a beneficiary from their own financial behaviour such as inability to manage their money.
- Protects transferred property from creditors.
- No estate duty payable by the trustees and thus no winding-up fees.
- Tax benefit since the asset’s value in the trust increases within the trust and not in a person’s estate.
- Beneficiaries have continuity in their income or usage of an asset even if one of the beneficiaries passes away.
- High initial setup cost.
- Transfer duty is payable when assets are transferred to the trust.
- Trustees can be held accountable for losses if they have not applied the necessary care in managing the assets.
- Assets don’t belong to the trust founder, but the trust.
- High tax rate on earnings from assets held in trust.
- Higher capital gains tax rate for inter vivos trusts in comparison with the tax rate for individuals.
Setup and Governance
The persons that establish the trust are known as the founders. The board that manages the trust to the benefit of the beneficiaries is known as the trustees or board of trustees while the people who receive benefits from proceeds generated through the trust are the beneficiaries. It is possible to be a trustee and a beneficiary at the same time if it is a family trust.
The donor is the person that transfers assets to the trust and is normally one of the older parties. It is important to ensure that the trust setup makes provision for continuity, such as the inclusion of a clause that makes it possible for a trustee to become the donor upon the passing away of the current donor or founder to ensure that the deed can be changed where needed.
It is furthermore important to define the beneficiaries in the broadest sense possible to ensure that grand children can receive benefit and to enable the trustees more control over who may also receive benefits.
For registration purposes at the Master of the High Court, the trust information must include the names of the parties acting as trustees and any changes to such must first be approved by the Master of the High Court. The trust must be properly managed and it is essential to clearly distinguish between the assets in the trust and personal assets. Proper governance includes once annual trustee meetings where decisions regarding the assets in the trust must be made and it is essential to maintain accurate financial record of all transactions involving the trust.
Our team of lawyers are here to assist with the setting up of trusts and amendment of trust title deeds. Make use of our expertise to avoid common pitfalls and to ensure proper estate planning.

God began his work on the sixth day with the creation of land animals, both the wild ones and those intended for domestication (livestock). They too were given the ability to reproduce, as with everything else in God’s brilliant design “according to their kind.”
And then came his masterpiece, the crown of his creation—the human race. People, intended to be God’s children, were made in his image, i.e., with desires and values just like his, made to love and carry out his agenda. They were holy, just like God, and charged with management of all creation: “God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. God blessed them and said to them, ‘Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it’” (Genesis 1:27,28).
Adam was made of dust, and that is the meaning of his name—Adamah in Hebrew means “earth.” From his rib God made a woman, who would be the mother of the human race. That is what her name means—Chavah (Eve) means “living.” She was exactly what he needed, someone who corresponded to him, someone suitable for him. There they were, just those two, looking at their paradise in Eden, smiling up at their God, looking at each other in wonder.
And then came the wedding. And the wedding night.

By Dr Mara Oliva
Now that the conventions are over, it is time to look at the issues! In the next two thought provoking posts, Dr Mara Oliva looks at the role foreign policy has historically played in presidential elections and what it can tell us about the current race.
In December 2015, a Pew Research Center’s survey found that for the first time in years, national security rather than domestic economy was the leading concern of the American electorate. The poll had been taken a few weeks after the attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, and specifically, terrorism was the issue that people were most concerned about. But just a month later, a new Gallup survey revealed that the economy was back up as a number one problem. 86% of Americans said the economy will be extremely or very important to their vote, a significantly higher percentage than any other issue. Concern about terrorism ranked high at 74% with foreign affairs further down the list at 61%.
The truth is Americans rarely vote on foreign policy issues. And this election seems to be no exception, unless something dramatic happens leading up to November. As we heard from both Conventions in July, income equality, middle-class and upward mobility stagnation are America’s priorities. Yet, foreign policy could still play an important role and deliver some (upsetting) surprises.
Historically, foreign policy has often proved to be a winning card for the Republican party. In a threatening environment, Americans tend to elect the person that looks stronger and holds hawkish positions. They also tend to even more severely punish candidates perceived to be dovish. The GOP has been very successful in producing nominees who skilfully use a bold and sometimes aggressive rhetoric and project an image of competent leader. Democrats are often perceived as more inclined to support diplomacy, something not all Americans consider effective.
In 1952, (similarly to today), a public weary of the burdens of shaping the international order, frustrated by a Democratic President (Truman) who did not seem to have a strategy for winning the Korean war (the death toll had reached 25,000 Americans), and anxious about the spread of a foreign ideology threatening the American way life, elected in a landslide GOP candidate and World War II, General Dwight D. Eisenhower. Combining his personal charm with his military experience, Ike presented himself as the perfect antidote to the corrupt and soft on Communist Truman Administration. Voters saw him as a strong leader who could get the US out of Korea and finally stand up to the Soviet Union.
The 1968 Presidential election was one of the most chaotic in American history. Though economy and civil rights played a key role for both parties, the renewed opposition to the Vietnam war, in light of the North Vietnamese Tet offensive, prompted Democratic President Johnson to announce that he was not running for re-election and left Democratic nominee Vice-President Hubert Humphrey with a problematic foreign policy legacy to defend, thus clearing the way for GOP candidate Richard M. Nixon. By promising a “honourable end to the war in Vietnam”, Nixon told the American people just what they wanted to hear.
Foreign policy proved to be the defeating issue for President Jimmy Carter’s re-election bid in 1980. Tensions between the US and the Soviet Union were high in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. By preaching for a more humble approach to foreign policy, Carter looked weak and hesitant. The Iran hostage crisis debacle made the American people question whether he was competent and strong enough. Republican candidate Ronald Reagan instead was bellicose and showed he was ready to be the next Commander-in-Chief.
Unlike Carter. President George W. Bush won his re-election in 2004 thanks to his successful foreign policy record. Americans saw him as a leader, someone who had led them in a war against terrorism and who had the respect of the military. The capture of Saddam Hussein reinforced this image and reassured people’s concerns over the situation in Iraq.
Can Donald Trump exploit the current international situation to his advantage like previous GOP candidates? This election might not be about foreign policy, but it is a referendum of Obama’s foreign affairs decisions. And Trump has been very good at capitalising on this so far. His proposals for foreign policy are, to say the least, controversial. From the nukes for Tokyo and Seoul to withdrawing support for NATO in favour of Putin’s Russia, he has even managed to alienate his own party moderate wing. In March 2016, 121 self-described members of the Republican National Security Community signed a public letter pledging to work against Trump’s election and blasting him as utterly unfit for the White House. As one of them put it, “He swings from isolationism to military adventurism in the space of one sentence.”
Yet, he has managed to grab the attention of a considerable number of Americans. Perhaps not so much because of what he says, but how he says it. His acceptance speech at the GOP National Convention in July took the rhetoric of fear to a whole new level. The speech (like his campaign strategy) revolves around three staples: 1) Fear, 2) Anger & 3) Hatred. Accuracy of facts is irrelevant. What counts is to make the electorate scared enough so that it sees no other choice but to vote for the more bellicose candidate. The breakdown is easy. FEAR: appeal to the American people’s emotions by telling them that the American way of life is in danger. ANGER: offer the public a culprit to blame, in this case President Obama and his corrupted Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. HATRED: put America first by hating everything and everyone that does not embrace it and present yourself as the only candidate who will be strong enough, who will not indulge in academic-level diplomacy but would be ready to do whatever it takes to protect American lives. Meanwhile Hillary Clinton is stuck with Obama’s legacy and her four years as Secretary of State to defend.
Will history repeat itself? Will fear prevail and push Americans to vote for the candidate that “seems” to be stronger? Hopefully not!

I would like to tell you about my son, Jacob (Jake). At the age of four he asked Santa for a motorcycle. He couldn’t even ride a bicycle yet, but he was determined to keep that motorcycle upright. He soon mastered it and so began his love of motorcycles. His dream was to be a professional motocross rider.
Motocross is a dangerous sport. During his racing career, Jake suffered multiple broken bones including an ankle and leg, along with many other injuries. Still, the danger never silenced his spirit. As a mother, I tried to discourage him and reason with him about the risks and consequences. But he would just look at me and say, “But mom, I am doing something I love!” How could I ever argue with that?
On Memorial Day weekend of 2012, Jake was riding his four-wheeler home when he was struck by a car driven by a man with no license. The man did not stop but just left Jacob lifeless on the road. He passed away later that evening, but the story of his kindness and caring heart does not end there.
Jacob was always a caring person, especially toward animals. He would bring strays home rather than leave them wandering homeless. So, it should be no surprise that kindness would extend to people too. At the young age of 16 Jake decided on his own to become a registered organ, eye, and tissue donor. Honestly, at the time of his death, his decision of 8 years earlier to be a donor was the furthest thing from my mind. My world had stopped and information like that simply slipped my mind.
But, early the next morning, I received a phone call from the hospital about it. The hospital walked me step-by-step through all of the information but had no idea it was so involved. I have been a nurse for 20 years and only assumed it was for vital organs. The hospital explained they could recover skin, ligaments, bone, and corneas.
I readily agreed, largely because that was Jake’s wishes and I thought some good could come from this tragedy. In his final act of kindness, my son would help some 76 people thanks to his tissue donation. In fact, depending on the case, up to 125 recipients might benefit from a single donor.
A few days after the accident, we found one of Jacob’s racing number plates. On it he had written, “Never Give Up on Your Dreams,” with the date and his signature. This has become the motto that we proudly wear on the annual Memorial Ride, that we started in his memory. Because of my son’s thoughtful act, donation has become a very dear cause to my heart. I try to talk about the importance of organ, eye and tissue donation at every opportunity in the hope it can help so many others.
So, I ask each of you to give this one last selfless gift. Register as a donor. You could give as many as 125 people a chance to live their dream.

Still have questions? Review our Shared Equipment Program FAQs
What is a Shared Equipment Program (SEP)?
Under a Shared Equipment Program (SEP), sometimes called Integrated Project Delivery (IPD), a project’s general contractor acts as the primary renter of all lift equipment for the job and then rents it to the subcontractors— a method that helps to eliminate waste, cut costs, improve productivity, and create positive outcomes. This collaborative approach can save up to 30% on construction costs and can accelerate project completion dates.
Is SEP the same as a sole supplier agreement?
There is a similarity, but also a crucial difference. First, the similarity: under SEP, ALL is, indeed, the only supplier of lift equipment to the project. Now the difference: only the general contractor rents the equipment from ALL, then coordinates distribution to subcontractors. In a typical sole supplier arrangement, individual subcontractors are still responsible for procuring their equipment (using the same supplier), but must negotiate their own supply. The added benefit of SEP is that, with a single renter (the general contractor) acting as a single point of contact for subcontractors to access equipment, additional efficiencies are created, saving time and money.
What makes ALL ideal for SEP partnership?
The ALL Family of Companies is the nation’s largest privately owned renter and seller of cranes, with all types and sizes of cranes and other lift equipment available from its vast network. This variety is essential for the successful implementation of Shared Equipment Programs. ALL offers partners the ability to source lift equipment as uniquely nimble as compact mini cranes or as large as 900-ton ATs and 1,000-ton crawlers, plus tower cranes, boom lifts/ aerials/MEWPs, and boom trucks. Whatever the individual needs, from task specific to broad and general, the ALL fleet is a perfect supply menu, as deep as it is varied. Beyond these extensive equipment resources, the company has the experience and willingness to collaborate during the SEP project. We’re thoughtleaders in this space and already have the processes in place to seamlessly execute a SEP partnership.
What are the keys to a successful SEP?
The main ingredients are coordination, cooperation, and communication. The whole concept is about teamwork, with each stakeholder a fully engaged participant. Significant savings are achieved by careful scheduling. No entity is left wanting, as the SEP allows for flexibility in the total budget. Scheduling requires meticulous strategic planning, daily meetings to discuss tasks for the coming day, and weekly projection meetings to forecast need in the coming weeks. This commitment to ongoing communication helps ensure that every team is on track to achieve its goals.
How will ALL support the project?
The ALL Family of Companies is not just an equipment provider. It is a collective of seasoned category professionals, and that vast knowledge base comes standard with any rental, including SEP agreements. ALL long ago divided their fleet into dedicated equipment categories headed by experienced, top-level managers. Our team—whether in tower cranes, truck cranes, or aerials—will sit at the table with general contractors, offering their particular experience to help spec the right equipment to meet specific challenges of a project and keep costs in check. This teamwork also includes equipment maintenance. ALL’s commitment to maintaining a rent-ready fleet doesn’t waver during a SEP agreement. ALL mechanics travel to your site to maintain and repair equipment.
Who benefits from SEP?
All project partners including owners, contractors, and trade partners become stakeholders in the project, profiting from success. Project owners save time—often measured in months—and money—often measured in millions of dollars. The general contractor gets a volume discount on equipment from a single source who can then lend their professional leadership to the project. One equipment source also means a less congested jobsite. Subcontractors enjoy equipment rental savings and assurances that the equipment they need will be available when they need it. SEP also includes regular maintenance checks, meaning increased uptime and improved operational efficiency across the board.

If my income is above the surplus limit, and because of it, the term of my bankruptcy is much longer than the 9 months. What happens if my employment changes and I am no longer in above the limit? Will the terms of my bankruptcy change to reflect this or is it set from the start?

The Time Has Come For You to Remodel Your Bathroom
10 Reasons to Remodel Your Bathroom
Are you starting to notice the blemishes and imperfections in and around your bathroom? They may have been present for quite some time, but you couldn’t force yourself to ignore them any longer. Bathroom renovations are tough to start because you need this room for your daily hygienic routine. It is also where you go to relax after a long hard day, so it is tough to tie this room up for any length of time.
These are very valid reasons to put off a renovation, but let’s examine the benefits for a moment.
Would you rather relax in an unsightly outdated bathroom, or would you rather enjoy a modernized washroom with attractive trimmings? The answer is obvious, but sometimes you need more than one motivating factor to help you decide. A new sink install sounds great, but are there any other advantages attached to this makeover? Absolutely, but you may not be able to appreciate these benefits until your renovation is complete.Your finished washroom will appeal to your desire for style and day-to-day needs. You may also receive a few financial perks from this long overdue renovation.Below are 10 reasons to start your modernization project. Perhaps you may come across something that will motivate you to take the first step.
1 – You Can Remodel to Improve Efficiency
How do you save energy in a space that uses a ton of resources? You do this by swapping out your old fittings for environmentally friendly models. Start by swapping out your filament bulbs for long-lasting LED lights. Then you can replace your existing faucets for eco-friendly models. This reduction in energy will reduce your monthly expenses by controlling the output and preventing waste.
2 – Replace or Upgrade Bathroom Safety OutletsAccording to the National Electric Code, every bathroom receptacle should have GFCI capabilities. These receptacles will shut off the electricity if it tries to find a ground outside of the wiring. You need to install these outlets around sinks and showers because water conducts electricity. Normal outlets do not contain safety mechanisms and monitoring devices for injury prevention.
3 – You Can Seal All Cracks and Small OpeningsThese are the annoying imperfections that you may ignore for months, and even years. Over time, the cracks get longer and the openings around pipes and outlets become wider. You keep telling yourself to fix the problem, but the opportunity never arises. Maybe deep down you would rather have a full renovation instead of a quick patch up.
4 – You Can Rearrange Fixtures to Create More SpaceIn some Sterling homes, you will find spacious bathrooms that feel confined because the builders made poor design choices. If you live in one of these homes, this can be a frustrating experience, especially if you are truly attached to your dwelling.
You may know how to create more space in your mind, but you may not have the knowledge or tools to make the changes. It may be time for you to consult a bathroom remodeling expert to make the necessary adjustments.
5 – You Can Finally Replace the Bathroom Fan MotorIf your bathroom fan failed, or if it is making an annoying noise, you can finally solve the problem when you start your modernization. This is not a major maintenance issue, but it is easy to ignore a broken bathroom fan, especially if you have windows. Bathroom fans come in handy, and it’s nice to keep them running if you already have one installed. The new makeover will encourage you to upgrade or change your current inoperative fan.
6 – Replace Bathroom Accessories and HoldersIn most bathrooms, you will find the white ceramic soap dish and toothbrush holders. These accessories may look clean, but they will not give your bathroom the style that will make you feel unique. Believe it or not, you can find elaborate soap holders, toothbrush holders, and toiletry racks in the marketplace. Some molds are made from metals like chrome and brass, and you can find them in a variety of styles, shapes, and colors.
7 – Replacing Doors, Door Knobs, and HingesYou can finally replace those noisy hinges on your bathroom entrance door. You can also replace the loose knob with the lock that may or may not work. Low end knobs are pretty inexpensive, so you can get a very nice privacy knob if you’re willing to spend $30 or so. You can also replace the entire door with a privacy model fitted with tempered frosted glass.
8 – Coordinate Your Shower Rods With Towel Rings and Towel BarsBathrooms with matching shower rods and towel bars have an organized and elegant appearance. The uniformity makes the bathroom look as if it was specifically designed for a home improvement journal.
Try gold and polished brass if you want to achieve a modish royal look. Use brushed nickel or earth-tone colors if you want to keep a simple classy appearance.
9 – Purchase Energy Efficient Privacy WindowsDuring your renovation, you will have the chance to make major and minor aesthetic changes. Window replacement jobs can be pretty major, but a quality window offers adequate insulation once installed. For the greatest efficiency, go with the dual-paned frosted glass with a low-maintenance composite casement.
10 – Install a Whirlpool TubWhy settle for a plain bathtub when you can have a bathtub with water jets? Whirlpool tubs will allow you to maximize your relaxation time during peaceful quiet moments. Avoid spa and sauna fees by installing this comfortable and convenient aqua back massager. This can be your special gift for finally making the decision to renovate your bathroom.
If you want your renovation to exceed your expectations, seek help from a knowledgeable bathroom remodeling expert in the Sterling area. They will walk you through the job from start to finish so you can get the results you desire.

Six new wildfires flared up in Texas on Jan. 5 and fire fighting crews were battling about two dozen smaller fires in Oklahoma, the Dallas Morning News reported.
In Texas, houses and other structures were threatened by flames in Hunt, Parker and Bexar counties; two smaller fires in Clay and Hale counties were reported and a 250-acre fire in Bell County had reportedly been controlled by Thursday night.
An Oklahoma County man burning trash was charged with violating the burn ban and starting a fire that burned several acres; he faces a $500 fine and up to one year in jail if convicted.
In addition, 18-year-old Justin Wilkerson faces arson charges in Anadarko in western Oklahoma. According to the Dallas Morning News, Wilkerson, the son of a former fire official, is accused of starting four small fires, one of which damaged a vacant house.

Brazilian Investors Flood to Miami Following Socialist President’s Re-Election
Mar 18, 2015 March 18, 2015
With the re-election of Dilma Rousseff as the Brazilian President in October, comes to more investments in Miami from the Brazilian population, according to a report.
The report states that many residents of Brazil, as well as residents of both Argentina and Venezuela, are amongst the top foreign investors of luxurious real estate in the Miami area. However, the recent rise in foreign investors from Brazil may be due to the weakening of Brazil’s economy and its currency.
In 2013, over half of the tourists who came to Miami were from Brazil. Additionally, many residents of Brazil have planted their roots in Miami and moved there permanently. In fact, this has happened so much that some believe that Miami might be the largest city of Brazilians outside of Brazil itself.

Flag of Skopje, vertical and horizontal versions - Images by Ivan Sache, 25 June 2006, after the Skopje official website.
The town of Skopje (506,926 inhabitants in 2006, that is c. 1/4 of the total population of the country; municipal website), located on river Vardar, is the capital of North Macedonia.
Successively settled by the Dardanians and the Macedonians, the town
was mentioned for the first time, as Scupi, by the Roman historian
Titus-Livy. Incorporated into the Province of Illyria, Scupi was
settled by veterans from the 7th Legion. In the late Roman Empire,
Scupi was made the capital of the new Province of Dardania; the town
is indeed represented as a provincial capital on the Peutinger Map
(4th-5th century). Soon after the Edict of Milan, that made in 303 the
Christian religion official in the Roman Empire, Scupi became the seat
of a bishopric.
Threatened by the Barbarian invasions, Scupi was totally destroyed by an earthquake in 518, an event related in Marcellinus Comes' Chronicles. Most of the population escaped death because it had already fled to the heights due to an attack by the Avars. The town was rebuilt upon order by Emperor Justinian in his birth place, a fortified site known as Taoresium, located close to the destroyed Scupi; it is therefore believed that the town founded in 535 as Justiniana Prima, was built on the present site of Skopje. After Justinian's death, the town, conquered by the Slavic tribe of Brsjaks, was renamed Skopje.
Nothing is known on Skopje until its incorporation into the medieval state set up by Tsar Samuel. In 1004, the commander of the town of Skopje handed down the town to the Byzantine Emperor Basil II, who subsequently suppressed Samuel's state after the battle of Belasica (1014). During the next centuries, the town was disputed among the Byzantines and the Normands, until eventually conquered by the Serbian Nemanja dynasty. Crowned in Skopje in 1346, Tsar Dušan edicted there in 1349 a Code making of the town a significant political, cultural and trade center, with relations to Venice and Dubrovnik, and the Middle and Far East as well.
On 16 January 1392, the Ottomans seized Skopje, subsequently renamed
Iskib. Used as a base for the next conquests, Iskib was also famous
for its covered market; the Turkish travel-writer Evli Çelebi
evaluated around 1670 the size of the town as 10,160 houses.
On 25 October 1689, the Austrian army commanded by General Piccolomini, at war with the Ottomans, seized Iskib after little resistance, and the town was burned down to ashes during the next two days. The Austrian invasion encouraged the local Christian population to revolt; the Ottoman repression was fiercy, culminating with the impalement of the leader Karpoš on the Stone Bridge of Skopje. Several Christians exiled but the situation of the town did not improve until the 19th century.
In the middle of the 19th century, the Macedonian movement against hellenization and for the use of the Macedonian language emerged in Skopje. The first national library was opened by Jordan H. K. Džinot in 1850. At the end of the century, Skopje became a main station on the railway line to Salonica.
In 1878, the Congress of Berlin maintained Macedonia within the defeated Ottoman Empire. After the creation of Bulgaria, several Muslims and the Turkish army withdrew to Macedonia, dramatically increasing the Muslim poulation in Skopje. Macedonia became a peripherical region of the Empire, Skopje being the center of a Revolutionary District set up by the Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, renamed VMRO in 1905. Formed on 7 January 1909 as the authorized, local branch of the Ottoman Social Democratic Party, the Skopje Social Democratic Organization organized the same year the first 1 May celebration in the Ottoman Empire.
Following the Balkan War, the Treaty of Bucharest (1913) split Macedonia between Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia, Skopje and the surroundings being incorporated to Serbia, and, subsequently, to the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. On 8 April 1941, the Germans took the town and quickly transferred it to Bulgaria. Liberated on 13 November 1944 by the National Liberation Army of Macedonia, Skopje became the capital of the Republic of Macedonia in the Socialist Yugoslavia, and, after the disruption of Yugoslavia in 1991, the capital of the Republic of Macedonia.
Ivan Sache, 6 January 2010
The new organization of Skopje was prescribed by the administrative reform
adopted on 24 August 2004. In 1994, Skopje was divided into five
components: Čair, Centar, Gazi Baba, Karpoš and Kisela Voda. This superseded the earlier division (1968) into Idadija, Kale and Kisela Voda.
The new organization caused political trouble because it made of Skopje a blinigual city, the proportion of Albanians reaching 27% after the incorporation of some Albanian villages. The same situation occurred in Kičevo and Struga. Opponents to the law collected more than the required number of signatures to organize a referendum which would cause the return of the 1994 law. The referendum failed and the new law was confirmed.
The Law on the City of Skopje says:
I. General Regulations Article 5.
The City of Skopje has a coat of arms and flag that are used on its whole territory.
The municipalities in the City of Skopje have their own coats of arms and flags that are used simultaneously with the coat of arms and flag of the City of Skopje.
II. Organization of the City of SkopjeArticle 7.
The area of the City of Skopje is made of the territories of the municipalities of: Aerodrom, Butel, Gazi Baba, Gjorče Petrov, Karpoš, Kisela Voda, Saraj, Centar, Čair and Šuto Orizari, within the boundaries determined by this law. [The boundaries are defined in great detail in Article 8].
Ivan Sache, 25 June 2006
The flag of the city of Skopje is a red vertical banner in proportions 1:2 with the coat of arms of the city in yellow placed in the canton. Over the last years, I have seen many horizontal variants of the flag hoisted on the streets, in the same proportions and with the coat of arms of the city in yellow placed in the canton.
Valentin Poposki, 24 June 2006
The symbols of Skopje are presented on the municipal website as follows:
The Flag of the City of Skopje is red, and in its left upper quarter, next to the spear lies its coat of arms printed in yellow color. The Coat of Arms of the City of Skopje has the form of a shield, whose upper side is semi arch turned inwards, the left and the right upper corner of the shield is made by two italic lines, whereas the bottom sides represent outwadrs round arches that end with a peak in the middle of the bottom span. The space around the shield contains: The Stone Bridge with the Vardar River, the fortress Kale and the snowy peaks of the mountain Shar.

Possible old flag of Skopje, vertical and horizontal versions - Image by Jens Pattke, 10 February 2013
The flag of Skopje was seen in an exhibition of Socialist partner cities of Dresden (then in German Democratic Republic), in the beginning of the 1980s.
However, this flag was not necessarily the official city
flag of Skopje. Among the other flags shown in the exhibition, the
flag of Leningrad was striking. That flag was a white cloth, with the
coat of arms (from the Soviet time) in the middle. I am not aware
that the City of Leningrad had a flag. It was common in the GDR to
put the municipal coat of arms on a white cloth if there was not any
official city flag. The organizer of the exhibition perhaps helped
himself so. The flags of Ustí nad Labem (Czech
Republic), Wrocław (Poland) and Dresden
shown in the exhibition were the known flags with pre-1990 arms.
The design, however, is supported by the photo of a flag for horizontal dispaly.
Jens Pattke & Valentin Poposki, 10 February 2013
The emblem must have been adopted in the 1950s or even before. In any case it was shown on 1969 postage stamp of Yugoslavia.
Željko Heimer, 3 February 2002
Flag of IBU, three versions - Image by Randy Young, 14 February 2016
IBU (International Balkan University, website) was established in 2006.
The flag of IBU (photo) is white with the university's emblem in the middle.v Other versions of he flag feature the two-line (photo) or circular (photo) emblem.

The children enjoy hanging the colorful hexagon shaped stars in front of the house.Churches hold special Midnight Mass which is attended by theChristianswearing new clothes, remembering the Saviour who gave up His life so that they may live. After the Mass, they go home and sleep peacefully, and welcome the following Day with great joy, wishing each other Merry Christmas,and exchanging gifts. Children burn sparklers and burst loads of crackers sharing their joy of the occasion.
To celebrate this grand festival in great spirit with the family members, South Indians working outside their native home, take leave and come home with gifts to their dear ones.

Why Brands Need to Shut Their Mouths and Open Their Ears
Traditionally, branding has been a one-way communication stream. Successful brands -- from Coca-Cola to Coco Chanel -- have spent huge sums of money creating ad campaigns of polar bears or models in exotic locales. The aim of these campaigns was to dictate to audiences what was cool. And not so long ago (think Mad Men era) there were far fewer channels of communication. Everyone sat around reading one of a few newspapers or watching a handful of television stations. As a result, these expensive campaigns placed in one of these channels had guaranteed exposure. Today that kind of guarantee doesn't exist.
The rise of the internet, and more importantly the ubiquity of the smartphone, has shattered this traditional system. The advertising playbook has expanded from television, radio and print to also include banner ads, mobile ads, Facebook and streaming content, just to name just a few. If it were just an expansion in the menu of options, traditional brand builders would be fine, as it would be just a matter of tailoring the same message to all these different formats. But that isn't the case.
The impact of the smartphone has turned the consumer of brand building into their own brands: through every Instagram image she captures, message she sends through Twitter or post she pins on Pinterest, each individual creates a story, a brand about themselves to share with the outside world. What does this have to do with traditional brands? Everything.
The Boston Consulting Group recently published a study: “How Millennials are Changing Marketing Forever.” The report detailed what they coined “the reciprocity principle” as they wrote, “Millennials expect a two-way, mutual relationship with companies and their brands.” As individuals become brands in-and-of themselves, the tables have turned, so the smartphone generation expects these brands that they consume to not just communicate at them but also with them.
Here’s the best news for entrepreneurs: The two-way communication is far less expensive than traditional branding. The channels of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and Tumblr, are all entirely free to use, and it is on these channels that this two-way communication occurs. The reciprocity principle requires not cash but authentic communication. Having a conversation with your community is free and when done right (that is to say done authentically), it converts mere customers into true brand ambassadors. And these brand ambassadors are powerful multipliers of your brand.
Related: 5 Ways to Be a Better Listener
Our company Zady, which is working to transform the current environmentally ruinous apparel industry by creating a brand built on the principles of beauty and sustainability, infuses the reciprocity principle in everything that we do.
Here is how we do it:
1. Ask and you shall receive. We noticed that a customer posted a photo on Instagram of their latest Zady package with their dog, and requested that Zady carry sustainable products for their pets. We didn’t let this comment go unheard. But we wanted to test the waters, so we re-grammed the picture on our Instagram feed and posted it to Twitter, asking our audience what other products they were interested in seeing us carry.
Your company can do the same simply by asking, preferably with some visuals, what people want to see either on your site or with your product.
2. Open your ears. The re-gram garnered an overwhelming response that folks wanted sustainable dog products.
Everyone wants to have his opinion heard, and you will get responses to the question, but just make sure that each person feels heard. You can do this simply by liking their comments or reposting their comments on your company’s social accounts.
3. React. We followed up to this query by searching for a stylish, long-lasting, locally and sustainably produced dog product. By the time we had the product up on our site and sent an email out alerting our customers of its arrival, our audience was so engaged that our first run of the pieces sold out within days.
Of course, the key to the two-way conversation is the response. You have to make your company flexible to following what your community tells you.
We see examples like this as not just good for sales in the short run, but more importantly they help build a sustained, long-term relationship with the customer. This helps convert customers into crusaders for your brand: All of that without spending a penny.

The cross-sector group looking at reforming the sales process has agreed a new pledge which it says introduces greater transparency for consumers as well as industry sectors.
The Home Buying and Selling Group - consisting of representatives from every activity within the transaction process - has been meeting for over two years to consider how greater upfront information can be supplied to potential buyers by sellers.
Now it has revealed an industry-wide pledge to begin to introduce transparency, specifying what each profession needs to do and when. The HSBG says this will help to ensure as much information is provided as soon as possible in the buying and selling process.
A statement from the group, released overnight, says: “For example, we are recommending the industry to advise consumers to appoint a property lawyer on the day a property is marketed. This is already something that happens for auctions, in Northern Ireland and in Scotland. Some agents have introduced ‘sale ready’ properties so we know this can make a big difference to a home move.”
The group is also recommending buyers to secure their decision in principle early and instruct a property lawyer before making an offer so their ID can be verified and money laundering checks carried out quickly.
The group admits that none of this advice is new, but insists that what is different now is that the individual players have pledged to work together to offer consistent advice to all consumers, “helping to ensure they play their part and the emphasis on securing information, which could affect a sale or purchase, sooner rather than later in the process.”
The participants in the group include NAEA Propertymark, The Law Society, Conveyancing Association, the Society of Licensed Conveyancers, RICS, RPSA, the British Association of Removers and organisations such as the National Trading Standards Estate & Letting Agency Team, The Property Ombudsman and the Property Redress Scheme.
Welcoming the pledge, housing minister Christopher Pincher says: “This government is committed to ensuring the housing market works for everyone, and our work with the industry has helped to restart the market in a way that is safe.
I welcome this pledge from the industry and look forward to seeing it deliver a smoother and more efficient experience for all those looking to buy or sell their home.”
You can see the new pledge on the HBSG website here.

Chuggs Wallis is set to represent Surrey in Love Island 2021.
Chuggs joins fellow Love Island singleton Hugo Hammond, a PE teacher from Hampshire. He is hoping to find a girlfriend to play rugby and golf with him and the lads.
What is Love Island star Chuggs' real name?
According to his company's listing, Chuggs is actually called Oliver George Wallis. He is the founder of Booby Buckets, a clothing company that raises money to support wildlife on the Galapagos Islands.
He launched his hat business during the first lockdown after graduating from university but says he is ready to make the most of the Love Island experience.

Speaking before heading into the villa, Chuggs said: "I just feel like it’s now or never. I’m only 23 but I’m scared of ageing. Especially as half of my last year of uni was taken away and we had so many fun plans. With Covid and the pandemic, I feel like I’ve missed a year of my youth, so I’m really gagging to get it all back – make the most of it.
"I’m pretty driven. In terms of being entrepreneurial I’ve always been like that," he added.
Chuggs recently shared an Instagram post with his family including his two brothers outside The Ivy Cobham Brasserie.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITV Hub.

I really think that for Kikoko is a great brand especially for women who are newer to cannabis.
When KIKOKO asked us if we had any Revelers who’d like to try their products we were psyched! We’re always excited to try cannabis products designed to enhance our wellbeing. Plus we’re thrilled to be supporting a female-founded brand, especially in a typically male-dominated industry.
Below you’ll find product reviews from Revelers. Shop here and get a discount for 20% off delivery. We happen to think they’ll make a excellent holiday gifts, or treats for yourself!
*Products only available in CA.
To start us off Reveler Karen R. shot a reel of her sample box (and it looks pretty fab!) which you can check out here.
“The Focus honey was intense, but effective and perhaps too effective. I definitely was able to detect the difference. I don’t know if it was due to the honey, but it seemed to be very fast acting and enduring. The mint felt like it was slightly less strong and slightly mellower.
The calm honey was so calming that I felt very languid and a bit sleepy. In the future, I would use this only after my “have to” list was complete.”
“I really enjoyed the honey to add to my tea - prefer the one for sleep as that's when I mostly drink tea.”
“The taste of the sleep mints was quite strong but I found them pleasant tasting. The high was very mild and pleasant.”
“The mints were minty, but pleasant. There was a sweetness that was appealing. I like the varied shapes of the mints, but wish they had hashes or lines that would make them easier to break in half for lower dosage. The sleep mint was good. I slept well.”
“I really think that for Kikoko is a great brand especially for women who are newer to cannabis. The lower dose, great descriptions and packaging are on brand for women 40+ who like 'concierge' style service and products and don't want to struggle in a dispensary with terms and descriptions.”
“Yes, I am definitely going to use this again and am also going to give a few to a couple of friends to see if they like it too. It's a great product to have on hand!”

By Jim Intriglia
Monday , September 14th brought with it some exciting news for those engaged in the world of virtual reality. VR journalists reported that several reliable sources had leaked news that Facebook's Oculus venture was set to announce the release of the Quest 2 wireless virtual reality headset, at the annual Facebook Connect conference on September 16th.
What caught many in the VR community by surprise, was news that the Quest 2 advanced hardware technology represented a significant leap in wireless virtual reality headset performance.
HP's upcoming release of the tethered Reverb G2 headset, was capturing the imagination of those who yearned for a better performing tethered PC VR headset experience in comparison to the Oculus Rift S headset.
Facebook’s reveal of the new Quest 2 wireless VR headset, at their annual Facebook Connect Developers Conference, once again, changed everything for VR enthusiasts.
The original Quest, introduced in the Fall of 2018, was the first wireless virtual reality headset that did not require a powerful gaming machine to power it.
The introduction of the Quest marked another significant evolutionary jump for computer gamers, as they could now be immersed in their gaming experience. Whoa!
The Quest 2 promises performance at the level of tethered headsets similar to the Oculus Rift S, with a $299 entry-level price tag.
Many VR pundits and enthusiasts were expecting a minor upgrade to the legacy Quest headset. What they actually experienced when they received their pre-production Quest 2 headsets for review, exceed their expectations.
Most were surprised by both the Quest 2 technology (Snapdragon XR2 processor), price-point of $299, and pre-production performance results achieved by several trusted influencers.
Facebook, and the development team at Facebook Reality Labs, demonstrated that the company was indeed serious about continuing to be the leader in wireless headset technology in the virtual reality market space.
Half-way through the Facebook Connect Future of AR/VR presentation, I realized it was now time for me to take the leap and begin to explore the benefits of wireless VR headset technology. Pre-ordering the Quest 2 was a no-brainer decision for anyone that wanted to experience the next generation of VR consumer technology.
After placing my pre-order for my Quest 2, which is scheduled to be shipped on October 13th, the next order of business was to sell my Oculus Rift S headset, as I would be updating to the HP Reverb G2, for use with high-performance business and professional VR applications.
It’s a safe bet that during the Facebook’s Quest 2 introduction at the Connect 7 event, those who recently purchased the original Quest headset were feeling not so good about their purchase. I wonder how many Quest owners also placed their legacy Quest headsets, especially once comparison reviews of Quest 2 vs Quest began making news in the community.
The primary sticking point for purchasing the Quest 2 would be a privacy issue, with Facebook’s recent move to require Oculus users to have a Facebook account and be logged-in in order to use Oculus Quest or Rift S headsets. Sebastian Ang’s (Mixed Reality TV) opinion piece on Facebook privacy concerns talks about the issue of non-anonymous access of VR and the potential for tracking behaviors and activities while using the Quest 2 headset.
For business, professional and personal application use, I believe having an Oculus Quest 2 headset, along with HP’s Reverb G2 tethered VR headset, will cover just about any application of interest over the next two year period.
With Jim Intriglia and Dakotah Intriglia
Jim: So, after the Quest 2 announcement during the Facebook Connect 7 event on September 16th, we wait in anticipation of the shipping of our Quest 2 headsets on October 13th. I was listening to the Marques Brownlee’s Waveform videocast, where he’s talking with Mark Zuckerberg about virtual reality and the future of devices.
Dakotah: I've been following him on YouTube for a while. He’s been doing YouTube videos for like 11 years now, and has over 12 million subscribers. He's interviewed significant people in the industry, getting the inside scoop on a variety of things. if you if you want your product reviewed, he'll do an honest review with like, camera robots and all this crazy stuff.
Jim: One thing I feel strongly about is that virtual and augmented reality represents the next generation of the Internet and Web. I see virtual reality casts as competing with and even replacing YouTube videos.
Much of the computer hardware that is so common today, like smartphones, computer monitors, etc., will be replace with wearable gear and virtual displays.
Dakotah: Mark Zuckerberg mentioned some of the same things during his talk with Marques. Facebook's has always been working on the answer to the question: How can we connect people? I think that's why they’re betting on wireless virtual reality, because if you are wireless, then you can just connect people really easily. Other companies are like, how can you stay home and just kind of play games?
Jim: As the price point of $299 for the 64KB Quest 2, I can see Facebook’s virtual world, Horizon, becoming very popular with those who frequent Facebook’s legacy website. As VR provides more of an emotional connection when interacting in VR with people, and you can actually engage actively in activities and experiences, I see a large transition of people purchasing the Quest 2 and migrating some aspects of the Facebook presences to Horizon and other VR worlds and experiences.

Actress Tripti Dimri, who debuted into Bollywood with Imtiaz Ali’s Laila Majnu emerged as a much sort after talent post the release of Netflix’s Bulbbul. The film established the actress as a breakthrough performer. Read on to know what she has to say about the film that released a year ago.
While admitting that the film put her back on the map after her critically acclaimed film Laila Majnu, Tripti said, “It put me back in the game. As an actor, one only wants to be taken seriously. Now people view me with greater respect”
Tripti Dimri also recalls how she cracked the character with the help of her director Anvita Dutt, “Actors should have the luxury of making mistakes and Anvita gave me that. We built the character brick by brick for two months.”
Talking about her character and the tough scenes in the film, Tripti Dimri says, “I researched about child brides and understood the emotional ramifications on them. The research was heartbreaking and it helped me build the suffocation Bulbbul was living through. I was dreading the s*xual assault and the domestic violence scenes. Anvita wanted to see life leaving my body. Full credit to Rahul (Bose) who was the best co-actor I could have had. After every scene, he would distract me, while Anvita hugged me and cried. These scenes were the turning point in the film. After the r*pe scene, I bawled for 20 minutes.”
On the work front, Tripti has reportedly bagged a role in Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s Tiger featuring Ranbir Kapoor in the lead. The also stars other Bollywood talents like Anil Kapoor, Bobby Deol and Parineeti Chopra. The actress is also reportedly set to feature in a psychological thriller co-starring Ishaan Khatter.

The internet will go directly through your brain!
Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, has pledged to bring blazing fast 5G internet to the city by 2020. This is part of a wider, long-term plan aimed at improving London’s infrastructure. The Mayor explained:
London is earning a reputation for being the tech capital of Europe and that is why we need to ensure every Londoner is able to access the very best digital connectivity. Rapidly improving the connectivity of this great city is a key part of the Infrastructure Plan for London.
Of course this sounds like an ambitious, and rather implausible proposition, considering 5G is just now getting defined and tested around the world. However, London will be collaborating with the University of Surrey, which is in turn currently collaborating with South Korea to develop and test 5G networks. And all of this makes the project more likely to actually happen.
And the UK is not the only one looking to get a head start on the next wave of mobile connectivity. Japan is also aiming to deploy 5G networks in the same timeframe. In theory this next-generation technology could allow transfer speeds of up to 10Gbps, a huge increase over current 4G tech.
Johnson also promised that much more accurate information pertaining to broadband speeds will be available to those looking to buy or rent a home in London. Finally the mayor says he’ll be working closely with telcos to create a map of where connectivity improvements are needed most urgently.
Mayor Johnson’s remarks seem to be in line with a wider trend across Europe, where the EU wants to get back to a time when the continent lead the world in mobile connectivity and benefited greatly from it. Here’s hoping all of this competition for 5G deployment will get us there.

PCS members rally in Trafalgar Square
The PCS nationally mobilised support on Saturday 30 May for the struggle against privatisation of its members in the National Gallery, with a demonstration of solidarity and strength in Trafalgar Square.
Janice Godrich, PCS president, chairing the rally, photo J Beishon (Click to enlarge)
Not far below the steps of the gallery itself, thousands of PCS members and supporters gathered to listen to a line-up of speakers at a rally chaired by PCS president Janice Godrich.
PCS members in the gallery are in the middle of a ten-day strike, their longest yet in a dispute that will have involved 34 days of strike action by the end of this present round on 4th June.
The National Gallery - which is mostly funded by government money - is the UK's most visited tourist destination. But its management is intent on privatising it, including the jobs of 400 of the 600 staff.
PCS represents over 200 gallery assistants and other staff who have been heroically fighting this attack on the workforce and the future of the gallery as a public institution.
They are also fighting management's disgraceful decision to sack PCS representative Candy Udwin, who was part of the union's negotiating team.
Mark Serwotka, PCS general secretary, addressing the rally, photo J Beishon
Candy Udwin was accused of "breaching commercial confidentiality" by drafting questions for the union's full time negotiations officer to ask the gallery about the cost of using CIS, a private company employed in response to the dispute.
To support the PCS campaign at the National Gallery:
- Sign the petition

Each year, around 60,000 babies are conceived through some form of artificial insemination using donor sperm and The Doctors examine donor deception.
There have been countless cases of donors lying about health history, identity, and even cases of fertility doctors using their own sperm to unknowing inseminate unsuspecting women -- this is largely occurring because much of the industry is unregulated. But can this system be fixed to ensure parents-to-be know who their donor truly is?
We meet Danielle who used a donor to get pregnant and says her son began to show signs of autism at 14 months old and was diagnosed with it at 2-and-half years old. Her second son, who was conceived using the same donor, also has autism. She says she later discovered her donor was not honest about his medical history and suffered from developmental delays, did not speak until after the age of 3, and attended a special needs high school.
"My kids struggle every day," Danielle tells us, adding she believed the sperm bank would protect her. "I trusted the sperm bank... I blame the sperm bank."
Danielle explains after discovering how her donor allegedly lied about his past, she contacted the sperm bank to have his samples removed and she says the bank did not do anything about it. Danielle goes on to say -- that to her knowledge --- there are 13 children with either diagnosed autism or developmental delays that have resulted from this donor.
Lawyer Molly McCafferty says there are not uniform federal regulations regarding sperm banks and the rules can vary from state to state. In many instances, the banks themselves end up self-policing and some banks do not verify the information the donors provide.
Molly explains despite thinking of a baby from a donor as a product, she feels it is -- in fact -- a product and a commercialized industry that needs to be regulated. She notes a recent ruling is allowing one family to purse consumer fraud charges against a sperm back they claim lied to them about the identity of their donor

Members insist the scheme is totally transparent – but it has been repeatedly condemned by authorities
Thousands of investors are feared to have lost their money after a pyramid scheme run by a convicted Russian fraudster crashed, somewhat predictably, in Zimbabwe.
MMM Global has swept across Africa, with branches promising returns on investment of 30 per cent a month in South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria and some east African states.
It is masterminded by the former Russian politician Sergey Mavrodi, who went on the run when the original MMM – standing for Mavrodi Mondial Moneybox – collapsed in the late 1990s, losing investors an estimated $100m.
On its website, MMM Global unashamedly advertises itself as a scheme whereby new members “assist” older members by paying a fee to join. Older members are allowed to withdraw money after a certain period of time, and receive bonuses for encouraging others to sign up.
Mavrodi himself is reported to have gone into hiding after a separate entity designed to reward investors with the cryptocurrency bitcoin – dubbed the “Republic of Bitcoin” –folded in April this year.
And since then, a criminal investigation has been launched into MMM Global’s branch in South Africa, after a probe by the National Consumer Commission “found something” to suggest the scheme was acting illegally.
With Zimbabwe’s traditional financial institutions in jeopardy and the country gripped by an economic crisis, thousands turned to MMM Global as an investment that was avowedly independent of government control.
That’s despite a warning from the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe that the scheme was fraudulent. RBZ warned members of the public that existing investors were “paid money not from genuine market investment of their funds, but from contributions made by new investors, until a point when the scheme can no longer attract new investors”.
Sure enough, users reported being unable to withdraw any funds earlier this month. One told The Herald newspaper: “When we started putting our funds in the scheme one could get assistance within seven days but things later changed to 14 days and when we were shut out the waiting period was 21 days.
“What it simply means is that the number of people in need of help has outnumbered the number of people joining. Right now we have nowhere to get our money which we invested.”
Despite the cautionary tales of Zimbabwe and South Africa – and indeed the original MMM scheme – a branch is now proving increasingly popular in Nigeria.
The Central Bank of Nigeria has been forced to step in, warning consumers not to deposit money in any institution that is not insured by the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation (NDIC).
The bank’s comms director, Isaac Okoroafor, described MMM Global as “a new Ponzi scheme … that is spreading like wildfire”.
“These people always come with very interesting propositions,” Mr Okoroafor said. “These are fraudsters who are just out there to collect people’s money and run away as soon as they hit their target.”
MMM Global’s members across Africa continue to defend its legitimacy, publishing screengrabs showing withdrawals as proof the scheme pays out.
In South Africa, where a Ponzi scheme is defined as any investment where the return is 20 per cent higher than the repo rate (currently 7 per cent), an anonymous member told business website Fin24: “MMM honestly tell people how it really works and do not promise people any return on the investments.
“As a donation programme, how is it possible to lose your donation? In MMM people ask each other to help them. It depends on the members themselves to maintain the continuation of the process of the provision of help to each other.”
A number of South African banks have now started shutting down accounts they believe could be linked to MMM, while in Zimbabwe the trusted mobile money transfer company EcoCash has distanced itself from the scheme, saying it is “not liable for any losses arising from the use of EcoCash to engage in illegal activities such as Ponzi schemes”.-UK Independent

After a seven-year restoration programme, Cairo's Museum of Islamic Art was officially reopened by President Hosni Mubarak on 14 August. However the 25 galleries will not be open to the general public until the beginning of September according the French news agency, AFP. Housing an extensive collection of Egyptian Islamic art it is the largest museum of its kind in the world.
Authorities took the decision to close the museum in 2003 amid fears of the building's collapse. Designed in the early 20th century by Italian architect Alfonso Manescalo, cracks caused by tremors had become visible in many of the museum's walls while much of the treasure on show was poorly displayed.
The refurbished museum however provides a structurally sound home to some of Islam's greatest artwork as well as offering visitors the chance to observe the artefacts in a brighter and less cluttered environment.
Central to the museum's redesign was French museographer Adrien Gard

Players Club, a ’70s-styled basement arcade bar opening in Logan Circle on March 12, has all the classic games: pinball, Skee-Ball, coin-operated pool tables, PacMan.
And then there’s the claw machine… only this one grabs sex toys.
“Why not?,” says co-owner Ian Hilton, who operates the Brixton, El Rey, and a bunch of other U Street-centric bars with his brother Eric Hilton. “How are you going to get a grown-ass man to do a claw machine?”
The claw machine will be filled with condoms, KY-Jelly, “rings that don’t go on your finger,” “things that are meant for him but good for her,” and “maybe a prosthetic here and there,” Hilton says. Free drink tickets and cigarettes may also be in the mix.
“We gotta be a little bit careful because we’re already having people hit us up for Bar Mitzvahs,” Hilton says. “I’m like, ‘Uh oh, what are we going to do about that?'”
The claw machine will also have more PG prizes like basketball and hockey tickets. And there’s plenty of other good old-fashioned fun elsewhere in the bar, including vintage board games like Clue, Life, Risk, Mork & Mindy, and Bionic Crisis. You can also take some pics—keep it clean, folks!—in a photo booth.
Architect Michael Francis, who’s behind the looks of Maketto and the Hiltons’ new Pod hotel projects, designed the wood-paneled “rumpus room” with vintage lounge furniture and retro wallpaper. Old comics, trading cards, and album covers are embedded under the bar top, and the restrooms are decorated in Tetris-like tiles.
“We wanted to do a ’70s vibe that was a joke,” Francis says. Players Club, for example, is actually a nod to the discount resort and casino commercials starring singer and actor Telly Savalas.
As if a sex toy claw machine isn’t enough entertainment, expect plenty of TVs playing games, occasional DJs, and a CD jukebox.
The bar will offer eight draft beers plus around 20 bottles and cans as well as a handful of cocktails. But best of all: Players Club has an arrangement with its upstairs neighbor, Shake Shack, so that customers can order burgers without leaving the bar.
Players Club. 1400 14th St., NW (basement).
This story has been updated with the opening date.

It's enough to make you void your Comixology pullbox. Rick Veitch, a legend in the comic book industry, published The Big Lie on Wednesday, a sleazy 9/11 Truther screed in sequential-art form. Spoiler alert: pseudo-scientific hysteria married to paranoia about How Bush Knew isn't any cuter when told by cartoon figures.
The Big Lie in a nutshell: ace physicist travels back in time from 2011 to September 11, 2001 to save her husband, who works for a risk-management firm in the World Trade Center. Armed with an iPad loaded with videos of the planes hitting the Towers and Googled stats on how many Iraqi civilians were soon to die from Bush's imminent invasion of Iraq – let's assume she pre-downloaded the data before stepping into her time machine – she has only an hour to convince her husband and his skeptical colleagues to evacuate.
Unsurprisingly, they're skeptical, and that's how the narrative develops. Like one of those Jack Chick evangelical tracts about how you're going to burn in Hell, the characters' reluctance to accept a bevy of conspiracy theories is ultimately rewarded with their fiery, painful deaths. Message: if only you would listen to Veitch's Cassandra, you would spare yourself the agony of not knowing the Truth about 9/11. After all, she's a physicist!
And Veitch doesn't stop at one conspiracy. They build in their scope and scale. First it's about Norad unexpectedly preoccupying U.S. air defenses with frivolous training exercises. Then it's about how the neocons in the Bush administration are looking for an excuse to invade Iraq. ("I've heard more than one of these nut-jobs say what the U.S. needs is a 'New Pearl Harbor,'" says a character who informs us he voted for Reagan.) Finally, the skeptical husband, an engineer who did his thesis on the World Trade Center, dismisses his future-wife by assuring her that "the only way to bring down these structures down is with explosives." You see where this is going.
Sigh. Yes, planes loaded with jet fuel and used as missiles can – and did – destroy the World Trade Center. Read the authoritative Popular Mechanics story about the physics of 9/11 if your mind is open to persuasion. Bush and company indeed wanted to take down Saddam Hussein from the start of his administration and they cynically tied Saddam to 9/11 absent evidence. But sorry: there is no evidence they planned an invasion before 9/11; no evidence that they knew about 9/11 and let it happen; and no evidence at all they brought the Towers down.
Yet all that is wiped away in the scene's final panel, where three thermite grenades are visible on a supporting beam inside the Towers – to the horror of a former skeptic – and Uncle Sam himself vouches for the truth of the story. "Folks fall so hard for the shuck-and-jive they never hear the wake up call when it finally arrives," Sam says. This makes Frank Miller's forthcoming Holy Terror seem calm and reasonable.

The 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer Is Not Just Another Beautiful Car
One look will tell you that the 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer is a great looking car. You’ll be so attracted to its beautiful lines and stylish good looks that you will naturally wander over to it to take an even closer look. When you get within several feet of this beauty you’ll stare at it from front to back and then you’ll slowly inch your way around the entire car, slightly brushing your open palm on its smooth metallic surface – just to make sure it is indeed real and not a dream. Once you’re convinced of the its real presence you’ll bend over just a tad and gaze throughout the spacious and well designed interior. By the way, we see people do this all the time at West Loop Mitsubishi. It’s just one of the interesting things that regularly go on there.
Once you’ve seen everything the eye can see from that vantage point you are very likely to open the door and feel the soft upholstery of the driver’s seat. Then, all of a sudden, and you don’t really know how or even when it happened, you find yourself sitting behind the wheel of the 2017 Mitsubishi Lancer. You look around to see if anybody is blaming you for doing something wrong and then you look at the time to see if you lost several hours by being taken away by an alien space ship. Once you’ve blasted those two ideas out of the park then you sit back and adjust the seat.
As you look at the 6.1-inch touchscreen interface and all the other perfectly placed controls in the sedan you start thinking of all the possibilities the Lancer could offer. You imagine pulling up into the office building you are currently employed at and instead of parking a half-mile away from the entrance you now park in your own space that has your name stenciled on it. When you start getting out of the car you notice a butler in a three-piece suit coming toward you with an umbrella and he’s calling you “Sir.” Well, like any other smart Lancer owner – you go with the flow and allow him to carry your briefcase (or brown bag lunch) and you allow his umbrella to shield you from the stinging and very bright sun, smiling all the way to your cubicle. That’s just how it is when you won a Mitsubishi Lancer.

Help in finding the big sum of money
There was almost no chance for me to find the needed sum of money in a few days. All the banks offered high interest rates for such requests. Fortunately, Zangocash helped me to find a creditor that I couldn’t find by myself. I got money in several days without paying extra fees.
The best way to find loans with low rates
A lot of organizations offer loans nowadays, and you need to spend hours to find the most beneficial one. Fortunately, there is such a service as Zangocash where I could compare loan conditions in different companies. In the end, I found the one with low rates and suitable requirements.
Customer orientation and timely help
On the Internet, you may find many different online platforms offering their loan services. Fortunately, my father advised me to use the Zangocash web service, as the company suggests the best conditions and solutions. This service is easy to use and customer-oriented. Perfect!
Honest and quality service
I turned to the company Zangocash for help and did not regret it. I needed to understand credit programs, and the company Zangocash picked up suitable offers. The most important thing is an honest approach to working with the client. The employees of Zangocash helped me choose the best loan offer, and it's great!
The quickest responses on the market
When I used to try other companies’ services, it was always an unreasonably long process. But with Zangocash, everything is so quick that I didn’t even have time to worry about how fast I will receive money. I’ve used the company’s services twice now, and they do not disappoint!
Very fast review
I needed money to pay for my previous debts, and Zangocash has provided me with a great and fast response to my credit request. They send me a fast reply within hours of my request, in response they provided me with all the necessary information. I am very glad that I used Zangocash services!
A lot of different creditors and loan offers
I went through a serious health operation just three weeks ago, and unfortunately, my insurance didn’t come through! Up until now, I never actually believed that online loan services are actually legit and credible, but Zangocash changed my opinion! This company helped me to get a lot of great options for covering the expenses of my operation with quick approval.
Quick response every time and great choice of creditors
Zangocash offers something that no one else has: a huge variety of different creditors. I didn’t even know that there were so many suggestions. What’s more: they answer quickly every time I apply, and I’ve managed to get almost a dozen of loans of different amounts with no problem.
Convenient to use website
When I visited the Zangocash website, I was surprised by its convenient design. The search field and window for requests are easy to fill out. Besides, they create a list of recommendations fast, and all of the offers match the criteria you enter.
Trusted company with great service
Whenever I need money, I go nowhere else but to Zangocash. I’ve taken loans with their help multiple times now, and every time it was successful. Moreover, the workers here explain everything in detail, so you know you’re dealing with professionals. I’ve already recommended Zangocash to everyone in my family, and they are as happy with it as I am.
High level of customer service
What could be better than a convenient web service? The online platform Zangocash is the best company for finding creditors. I have chosen a suitable loan offer with a low-interest rate. I like that the company Zangocash really solves the customer's problems. Thanks!
Obtained money without any problems
When I needed to get a considerable loan, I worried that lenders would refuse me. However, Zangocash helped me to find a bank that doesn’t have strict requirements for borrowers. I went through all the checking procedures in the bank easily and got the loan. Thanks to Zangocash for the recommendation.
Good loan rates offer
I could not find good loan rates for a long time. Zangocash helped me to find a loan company with affordable rates, and I couldn’t be happier. They made everything seem so easy and quick. From now on, I will only use their service to deal with money matters.
Top-notch interest rates
Recently I decided to work for myself from now on, and guess what? My refrigerator decided that now was the time to become broken! So, a fast-approved and relatively low-interest rate loan was needed, and this is when Zangocash helped me to find the best solution, which was a one-day approval loan, a rare case for banks! Definitely recommend Zangocash!
Convinient online service
Usually, when I try to use a new site, I find a lot of inconveniences. However, in this case, everything was great. The design and functionality are very user-friendly, the website is very fast and good-looking. The most convenient way to find good rates.
High-quality and fast service
I made a request where I put all the requirements for the loan I needed on the Zangocash website, and they chose several offers for me almost immediately. It helped me not to waste time searching for all available banks and loans programs there. Specialists of Zangocash allowed me to not pay extra money for a loan.
When quick approval is needed, choose the services of Zangocash! Their website will show you a lot of possible options with different interest rates, loan amounts, and other credit loans. I mainly needed a fast approval, and they provided me with one. Now I would totally recommend my friends to use Zangocash when a loan is in need.
Me and my boyfriend desperately tried to find additional cash, gladly, we found Zangocash, they gave us the list of the best payday services in our city with the best rates, and our problem was solved. So, if you find yourself in a difficult situation and you do not know where to find cash, do not hesitate and use Zangocash.
Saviors of time
I have had a bed water accident in my house, and I did not have any money to make a quick repair. I have never used payday loans before, so I did not know where to go and where I could find the best rate. But for my luck, I find Zangocash, and they helped me out very fast.
Great loan interest rates
I work in a self-employed status, so I do not have a great credit history that would qualify for some big banks. But still, some money was badly needed, and Zangocash not only provided me with various loan options but also tried to find those loan companies with the best interest rates. Choose Zangocash when low-interest rates are necessary.

Hello, sorry for the lack of updates, I’m swamped with work, so no
Christmas for the wicked. Or something. I learnt something these few
days. I mean, its bleeding obvious, so I already knew about it but
If it’s not in black and white, it means fuck all.
Yeah verbal = fuck all. We need a record like email. People can act
all nice with you verbally and fuck you later since, naive boy, there’s
no record of verbal conversations.
So remember dear readers, no record = fuck all.
Have a Merry Christmas everyone! 🙂

Review Of Cold Spring Harbor, by Richard Yates
Copyright © by Dan Schneider, 5/8/09
Little gets past the eyes of Richard Yates. He is a writer who can take a dismal, ordinary set of characters and make them into real, flesh and bone beings, simply by the way he describes their patterns of behavior, their mannerisms, their dialogue. Cold Spring Harbor is his last novel, published in 1986, and it carries with it all the benefits of being a Yates novel: spare yet descriptive, insightful dialogue about seemingly “simple things,” peppered with his acute observational skills for human behavior.
After having read a number of his novels now, I might actually go out on a limb and say I’ve not seen, (at least from any published writer I’ve read) anyone convey the “ordinary man” as well as Yates can. Surely there have been great novelists in the past who have covered these themes, (Frank Norris, John Steinbeck and Theodore Dreiser all come to mind) but each writer, who is no less great in his own right, did not have this set out as his primary agenda. Since the above three all deal primarily with social issues as they pertain to the larger aspects of society, Yates primarily deals with the social issues as they pertain to the individual. And I don’t think I’ve ever read a writer who possessed such a skill to the degree Yates does.
His books have an odd sense of poetry about them, even though his prose is not, in and of itself, lyrical. The text reads rather straightforward when examined up close, but it is only when one peers from a distance, and looks at the story as a whole, that the poetic quality in his work can be seen. Cold Spring Harbor deals with a not-so-nice family who is not-so nice to one another. Gloria is the loopy, alcoholic mother (supposedly based on Yates’ own mother), Evan is the somewhat mediocre loser with no real ambition (his passion is for cars and when he meets Rachel, he puts aside his own ambitions so he can marry her—though this is not necessarily a tragic thing, since we can tell he’s not someone who would ever reach any potential worth noting) and Rachel’s teen brother Phil also has issues of his own (such as spying on his sister when she’s with her husband).
There isn’t really any character in the book that is likeable or worthy of being liked, yet via way of Yates’ writing, and his ability to delve into the human psyche, readers come to empathize with them, even if they’re not worthy of our affection. Set in a small Long Island town, Evan’s father, Charles, is still bitter about not having received any “recognition” for his participation in World War I, so he spends much of his time distancing himself from others. After Rachel and Evan marry, they move in with Rachel’s mother (Gloria) and her brother (Phil). After having just recently watched the film A Trip To Bountiful, (based on the play by Horton Foote) the situations in Cold Spring Harbor reminded me a bit of that, in that both A Trip To Bountiful and Cold Spring Harbor involve families who are stressed due to their having to live in such close proximity to one another. Also, both works involve that which goes unsaid among the characters.
Of course, the difference is that A Trip To Bountiful has characters one can sympathize with (and like for that matter), while Cold Spring Harbor leaves one empathetic, though not sympathetic for these unlikable and well, cold characters. While Cold Spring Harbor is an actual name of a town in New York, the name and what it evokes could not be more perfect for this book.
The penultimate scene and then ultimately what ends the book is especially memorable and powerful—Rachel is left to comfort her and Evan’s child, a baby boy that she tells is “a little marvel” for no other reason than the fact that this little boy is “going to be a man” someday. Yet what makes this all the bit ironic is that all the men in the book (and women for that matter) are, for lack of better words, nothing to write home about and arguably just losers. And given that this scene follows an incident of domestic abuse brought on by her husband Evan, leaves us readers with a solid slap in the face—on par to the one given to Rachel only moments before.
No one is safe in Cold Spring Harbor. Characters work to destroy their happiness, as well as those around them, all the while complaining that happiness eludes them. The fact that happiness is something that “springs” out of accomplishment and is ultimately something one has to work for is also something that has eluded them as well. Thus, the cycle continues. (All the more ironic is that as I write this, I am informed that Sylvia Plath’s son—Nicholas Hughes, has committed suicide). Finishing under 200 pages (182 to be exact) much happens in these little moments—they are memorable and real, crafted by someone with a great craft for storytelling. Read Yates. What more is there?

- Humectress Ultimate Moisturizing Conditioner uses technologically advanced NexxuSpheres™ to deliver moisturizing Lipids and soothing Emollients into the inner-most structure of the hair throughout the day.
- Humectress is the ultimate hair moisturizer for results you can see and feel.
BEWARE OF THIS CHEAP CONDITIONER PASSING FOR SALON QUALITY
Nexus used to be my favorite hair product brand because they used high quality ingredients that did wonders for my hair. But in the last 3 years they have repeatedly tampered with their formulas to cheapen their products and still charge high prices.I used to love Humectress conditioner. It used to be a rich thick formula that left my hair incredibly hydrated and nourished. Then they changed the formula about three years ago to cheapen it. Now it appears that this year they have cheapened it even worse. It’s just a cheap or mediocre conditioner now, not worth the price they are charging for something that is no longer salon quality.As soon as I tried this recent version it gave me an huge rash on my neck. I couldn’t figure where the rash came from because I stopped using it for several months (despite buying the 33 ounce bottle) because it was no longer a great conditioner. When I tried it again to use up the bottle, the rash re-appeared. Rashes are individual, not everyone will react the same way, but it was obvious to me that cheapening of the ingredients has consequences in quality beyond just not making it worth the cost.Google all the complaints on the internet for more info. Basically they have kept the same names on their products but completely changed the ingredients, misleading customers, into believing it’s the same product. None of their products are the same as they were 3 years ago. It’s basically either crap or mediocre stuff pretending to be what it used to be.Many of the reviews on Amazon are from BEFORE Nexus started selling mediocre products in place of the wonderful stuff they used to produce.
Great Moisture for my dry as the Sahara hair! I am AA and find it hard to find a conditioner that is great as a leave in or can be used as a rinse out as well. I have 4A-B hair texture and currently I’m using Ayurvedic treatments on my hair which is also relaxed; so I need something that would combate the dryness, as well as make my hair more managable when dry. Great for both! I highly recommend this product, a little goes along way!!!!
Not worth the money
I used this after hearing rave reviews about their conditioner, even though it contains mineral oil. I had not used mineral oil in my hair for over a year and last night was my first time using it again. I hate this conditioner! Although the consistency is thick and creamy which usually works on my super curly hair, it felt dry going on, which is weird for a conditioner. When I rinsed, after steaming my hair, it felt like straw. I co-washed my hair with suave ocean breeze to get some moisture back into my hair. Im not going to blame all of the dryness on the mineral oil alone, there were a lot of random chemicals w/ names I could not pronounce in the conditioner. im going back to my trusty Nature’s Gate for moisture. This was a waste of $17.
You have to use Humectress shampoo with this
When I used this conditioner with other shampoo, it didn’t work. My hair felt like I did not use any conditioner at all. I tried it with other conditioner mixed together, but still it didn’t do much. I almost threw it away when it was still half full. Then I tried its companion shampoo: Humectress Shampoo. Then I understood why this conditioner is so light. The shampoo is very rich. If you have normal to oily hair, this shampoo will feel too rich and oily. They both work together, but ironically the conditioner is more expensive. I wouldn’t repurchase its conditioner. There are better ones out there with much better prices. My favorite is Herbal Essence Color Me Happy. I have color treated hair and use flat iron everyday. So I would keep using Humectress Shampoo, but not with this conditioner. I’m giving it 3 stars because with the shampoo it works ok. Otherwise I would have given it 1 star.
I had bought this product at wal-mart (because I just happened to see it there on accident) and remembered hearing a lot of good stuff about nexxus’ conditioners. It wasn’t until after I bought it that I saw a lot of people complaining about how the old formula is better than the new one, etc. When trying to figure out why, the only complaints were about how the new formula has a “strong” scent to it and how there are a moderate of silicones in it.I don’t think the scent is bad AT ALL. I think it smells just divine. A for silicones, they’re not bad for people like me who wash their hair once/twice a week because I’m very active.Anyway, I did a protein deep conditioner (Aphogee 2-Minute) on dry hair before washing it out with warm water and my apple vinegar spray. Then I proceeded to use Nexxus’ Humectress moisturizing conditioner on my hair for about 15 minutes. After washing it out–my goodness. My hair was SO soft! Even after spritzing my hair with some apple cider vinegar mix my hair remained soft Detangling was easy, and the scent doesn’t actually stick to your hair (maybe just a very very light hint of it).I give this product a 8/10, just because I think it could have done well without the silicones.Oh, and FYI, I have african american relaxed hair which is currently undergoing a post 6 week stretch!
Great for thick color treated hair
A great product for thick, wavy, color treated hair! Been around for years and I keep going back to it, even after trying other more expensive and more popular products. I dont use it as an everyday conditioner because it can tend to make my hair too soft. But its fantastic for the times you need extra moisturizing! Try the Therappe shampoo too!
Say it ain’t so……
I’ve used Humectress for the past 25-30 years. Loved it! Always had it on hand, couldn’t live without it. Recommended it to my friends and kept it a secret from my enemies.I have fine hair, but lots of it. It moisturized my hair without weighing it down, keep the fly-aways gone in the winter and I had found no other product that worked for me.Until now. At first I thought I was having a few bad hair days which turned into a month. After doing a little investigating I was shocked, horrified to learn they changed the formula…! What!? Who’s the nincompoop who was in charge of this decision???This happened right about the same time another dingbat at Johnson and Johnson decided to discontinue my go-to tampon….what? How horrified does a girl need to be?Where’s the picket line start? I’m in!I think I’ll visit the nexxus site next and put my 2 cents in there as well.This product is now no better than one you’d find at Walgreens for $3.99 – I’d try that one instead, this one stinks.Signed – the woman with the flyaway, dry hair
Product was delivered quickly. Great price and wonderful product.
Not what it used to be. Formula changed now not so good. Read on.
I’m a long time user of Humectress. My experience was great from the 80’s till a couple years ago. I noticed, like some others, the formula changed. It smelled a bit different but mostly it didn’t seem to work as well.With the current formulation my hair feels heavy and kind of dead after use. When applying the product in the shower after shampooing it used to make my shower comb slide right through my hair. Now my hair is tangle-city and I have to work hard to get through after conditioning. I also need to use much more product to get anything close to good conditioning.I’m sad to say Humectress is leaving my list of preferred hair products and I’m trying new products to find a replacement.Update: Dec 24, 2013:I have begun usingBiolage Fortetherapie Strengthening Conditioner by Matrixand I’m doing very well with this. I still prefer the original salon formula Humectress if I can ever get it again.

Asbestos – Who is responsible? Body Corporates.
When it comes to asbestos there are many people responsible for ensuring the health and safety of people on site is managed.
Body corporates, which are described as a group of unit title owners who are made up of all the unit owners are considered one of these. An example of a body corporate would be, you own an apartment in an apartment building or a car park in a car parking building. Below gives an in-depth understanding of the Asbestos liability for body corporates.
Asbestos regulations state that there is a “duty to prepare an asbestos management plan” and applies if asbestos is “identified at a workplace under regulation 10; “or “likely to be present at a workplace from time to time”. “A BCBU with management or control of the workplace must ensure that a written plan (an asbestos management plan) for the workplace is prepared”.
The Unit Titles Act 2010 also states “building elements includes the external and internal components of any part of a building or land on a unit plan that are necessary to the structural integrity of the building, the exterior aesthetics of the building, or the health and safety of persons who occupy or use the building and including, without limitation, the roof, balconies, decks, cladding systems, foundation systems”.
This means that any body-corporate property where the age of the building is prior to 2000 is required by legislation to identify and manage asbestos. It is important to note that if asbestos has been assumed e.g. you think it might be there, you will need to carry out all works in accordance with WorkSafe’s approved methods.
Failure to comply with current asbestos regulations is an offence and is liable for conviction a) for an individual, to a fine not exceeding $10,000: b) for any other person, to a fine not exceeding $50,000.
If you think your property has asbestos it is always safer to get it checked than risk the repercussions of not doing so. Call us today to book your asbestos survey or management plan 0800 422 387.

From the National Book Award winners to Zadie Smith’s newest novel, here are last week’s biggest literary headlines:
- The 67th annual National Book Awards ceremony took place November 16. The winners included Colson Whitehead’s The Underground Railroad for fiction, Ibram X. Kendi’s Stamped from the Beginning: The Definitive History of Racist Ideas in America for nonfiction, Daniel Borzutzky’s The Performance of Being Human for poetry, and John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell’s March: Book Three for young people’s literature. The National Book Foundation’s Literarian Award went to Cave Canem, a nonprofit group that works to promote the careers of black poets.
- Bob Dylan has officially announced that he will not attend the Nobel Prize Ceremony on December 10. This follows several weeks of confusion as Dylan refused to take calls from academy members and made no mention of the award. In an interview on October 28, Dylan said that he was accepting the award and that it was an amazing announcement. The news that Dylan would not be attending the ceremony came from the academy’s website and cited pre-existing commitments as the reason he could not travel to Stockholm.
- Zadie Smith’s newly released novel Swing Time will be adapted for the small screen. The production company Baby Cow acquired the rights and will develop the show. Smith will adapt the novel herself, alongside Nick Laird. Swing Time was released on November 15 and is about two girls who grow up together and want to be dancers. It moves between northwest London and west Africa and explores themes of friendship, music, and identity.

BODYARMOR has enlisted Naomi Osaka to promote its “Naturally Sweetened, Low-Calorie Sports Drink” BODYARMOR LYTE.
The spot features the four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka training and asking for one more, while in the background the song “One More” by Federico Vindver plays.
BODYARMOR LYTE, which is the Official Sports Drink of the US Open Tennis Championships, and Osaka unveiled the newly refurbished childhood tennis courts at Detective Keith L. Williams Park in Jamaica, Queens, where the tennis player got her start. The courts were unveiled by Osaka’s Foundation, “Play Academy,” which will host “LYTE Up the Courts” – a youth tennis clinic featuring participants from New York-based tennis organizations.
The brand has also enlisted Olympic and World Cup champion soccer player Megan Rapinoe, Carrie Underwood and James Harden to promote its “Naturally Sweetened, Low-Calorie Sports Drink” BODYARMOR LYTE.
Rapinoe, who is a member of the LGBTQ community, after having come out publicly in 2012, signed an endorsement deal with the sports drink brand earlier this year, in March. In a statement for Outsports, a news site focusing on LGBT sports news, she said she “would actually drink this stuff,” mentioning that “It’s made with coconut water, and it’s high in potassium, low in sodium.” “At this point in my career I am getting older. I need to do everything I can, every little thing, to make sure I can stay healthy,” she also said.
With natural flavors and sweeteners and no colors from artificial sources, BODYARMOR LYTE Sports Drink contains 20 calories and 3g of sugar per serving. It is available in four flavors: Peach Mango, Blueberry Pomegranate, Orange Citrus, and Cherry Berry.

If you’ve heard Oskar Herbig’s guitar work when he’s played with his cousin Skyscraper Stan Woodhouse’s band the Commission Flats, then Oskar’s first solo EP won’t come as too much of a surprise. It’s a short affair, five songs that set out Herbig’s stall as a solo performer in his own right. Just a lightly-distorted, mostly finger-picked, hollow-body guitar over which Herbig sings bleak, heartfelt lyrics that tell stories of the life of a struggling singer in Melbourne.
Herbig has established himself already as an accomplished guitarist with a distinctive style of intricate acoustic-influenced electric picking, and his signature style is to the fore in these five tracks, an engaging and agreeable mix of folk, blues and, in places, a slightly skiffle- and bluegrass-inflected mood that manages to be full enough not to need a rhythm section behind it. What’s new is Herbig’s voice, an enjoyable instrument in his own right. While it’s definitely his own voice, it’s also clear that Oskar has been listening to his Nick Cave records during his time in Australia, the deep, rich tenor of his voice shining through most powerfully in the opening track Lord, I Ain’t Your Son, a song that also owes more than a passing debt to cousin Stan’s back catalogue.
Lyrics match music for mood: there is an undeniable heartache in Terrible Feeling’s tales of sleeping rough, or a reference to “blood under my nails” in the album’s second track, which insists that “I shouldn’t have to live like this.” Writing miserable lyrics is easy; writing pain with humour and wit is an altogether tougher task, and Herbig seems up to the challenge. There’s no denying the gloom in Bloodstain On My Shirt, but for every reference to a keyboard that just plays broken notes in the dark, there’s a hint of redemption: “Unlike the ships that sink around me, I know that I’ll stand tall; I’ve been through all this shit before, and I know it doesn’t last.”
It’s a short set, but a very strong one, a promising start and a tantalising hint. Oskar Herbig’s first solo release suggests that he has a very strong full first album inside him waiting to get out, and there’s little doubt that it will be a record worth waiting for.

“Why do doubts arise?” April 19, 2015
Scripture: Luke 24:36b – 48 (38)
Unison: Ps. 4
Hymns:1) 484, “O Come to Me, You Weary” 2) 468, “The Care the Eagle Gives Her Young” 3) 494 “We Who Would Valiant Be”
CALL TO WORSHIP
Leader: People of God, the Lord has called you here today!
People: We have come, seeking love, hope, and healing.
L: Rejoice, for the light of Christ shines on us.
P: Our hearts are full of gladness and praise!
INVOCATION & LORD’S PRAYER
God of creation and renewal, in Jesus Christ you walked among us proclaiming love, mercy, and repentance. You died, and rose, and lived again, so that we might believe and truly live. Inspire and empower us today, so that we may be your witnesses, showing and sharing the good news of your unconditional love. This we pray as Jesus taught us: “Our Father…”
CHILDREN’S MESSAGE after the Lord’s Prayer (Message in A Bottle – CROP Walk Educational resource)
Message in a water bottle: Every one of us has muscles, don’t we? We need them to help us walk and run and climb and carry things. If I said, “Show me your muscles,” what would you do? (Encourage them to participate by flexing arm muscles, and then responding, “Wow! You’re strong!” when they do the same.) Our muscles grow strong when we eat healthy food and drink clean water. But in some parts of the world, children don’t have healthy food to eat or clean water to drink. So they don’t grow strong muscles. Instead, they can get very sick. (Hand out a water bottle to each child.) Look at the top of your water bottle. Do you see how little that is? (Make a circle with your finger and thumb to simulate the size of the circle.) For sick children without healthy food to eat, that’s the size of their upper arm – where their big, strong muscle should be. Now look at the middle of your bottle. It’s about this big. (Wrap both hands around the bottle to “measure” the circumference, then slide hands off and look through the circle of your hands.) That’s about the size of your strong, healthy upper arm. You know, muscles are good for a lot of things. And helping people who aren’t as strong or healthy as we are is one of them. Jesus asks us to help feed hungry people and make sure they have water when they’re thirsty. That’s why our church is walking in the CROP Hunger Walk and raising money to help end hunger. You can help, too. Tell your parents you want to join the CROP Hunger Walk – so your family can help kids around the world get the nutritious food they need to be strong like you. Adapted from an activity by Carolyn Self, Church World Service
How many of your hearts broke when I described the standard way of determining five year olds who do not have safe water and adequate food: their upper arms are not the diameter of a water bottle. In fact, their upper arms are the diameter of the cap of the water bottle. It is difficult to even comprehend such a degree of need. It makes us feel helpless, to see things that are so wrong with the world, so many things, so much wrongness. I’ll be back to this idea shortly.
Today, we have Luke’s version of Jesus appearing to the gathered followers. Instead of the doubts of Thomas, we have the group digesting the news from the two disciples who met Jesus on the road to Emmaus….not knowing who he was, not recognizing him until he blessed the bread and broke it at the evening meal. They run back to Jerusalem that night, and told the others what has happened. It’s like they are gathered at a command central, and the reports are coming in…Jesus here! Jesus NOT there! He said this! He did that! It’s hard to take in, and it’s all happening so fast. After the worst thing, that terrible Saturday when they thought it was all over, something NEW and VERY BIG is happening.
And all of a sudden, he’s there. Jesus. With a blessing, “Peace be with you.” I bet they felt anything BUT peaceful. Full of questions. Full of….well, the Bible tells us. Full of fear. They think he’s a ghost. They are startled and terrified. In this account, they are all invited to touch Jesus, to see he’s not a ghost. He even calls for some food….can a ghost do this? He eats the broiled fish. Whatever he is, he is not a figment of their imagination or a ghostly manifestation. But they feel lots of fear and doubt.
I want us to stay at that fear and doubt for a moment. Last week, I talked about belief in these stories as alignment with God and God’s purposes. Not merely subscribing to certain opinions, but coming alongside and letting God and God’s purposes guide. It seems like the apostles and others who were in that room should be able to do this, right? They’ve seen all the miracles, heard all the parables, reacted to all the prophecies. If they have trouble, what does that mean for us? Jesus’ question is one for us too, “Why are you so frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?”
That question has been on my mind all week, in the midst of rummage sale, and pastoral care, and revisions on my thesis, and all the day to day stuff. It came with me to a meeting at the Superintendent of Schools’ office on Friday afternoon, where a group of 40 community leaders from Farmington and Farmington Hills gathered to consider ways that we might respond to the reality that, even in our community, in Farmington Public Schools, there are 168 homeless students, and more whose families are teetering on the brink of homelessness. The schools have a liaison officer, who works with the families of these students, ensuring that they do not disappear out of the schools and begin a terrible cycle of poverty.
It was a great meeting. It was, I am convinced, the beginning of something big. We’d never all come together like that—churches, the community foundation, the after school program, people from the school system, people from Neigborhood House and the St. Alexander Food Pantry. We talked about the situation, the kinds of needs. And then someone asked, what can we do that is deeper than just meeting immediate needs, as important as that is? How can we join forces to help them move beyond homelessness, back into work, into a house? There were many thoughts. You’ll hear about these as this plan develops. About mentoring homeless families, providing access to certain social services, lots of things. It was pretty exciting. I was full of enthusiasm, it’s so needed……and also, I felt some fear, and doubt. What a big problem this is, is there really any solution? How can we really make it happen? What kinds of resources will this take, how will we ever afford it? Do we have what it takes? Do I have what it takes?
And there was that question, with a whole new meaning all of a sudden: “Why are you so frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?”
This is what happens to us. It is, I am convinced, what happened to them as well. It isn’t that we are rejecting the situation; we just don’t know what to think, or even how to respond. It’s so new. And we default to the place of safety, we take refuge in the familiar. But when God is at work…safety isn’t the main thing! And so they felt afraid, not sure, full of reasons why this can’t be happening, full of reasons why this can’t be done. But we know it did happen, and it was done.
The other thing about that question is the tone that our minds assign to it. You could hear it as a reprimand—WHY are you SO FRIGHTENED? And WHY are your hearts SO FULL OF DOUBT?—or, why oh why are you still like that? We’ve all heard that reprimand. But it’s pretty burning, coming from Jesus. And I don’t think that was the tone. I also don’t think he was mystified. He knew quite well, as he demonstrated in the next moment. Instead, I think he says it to them, and to us,Why are you so frightened? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? in a tone that invites insight, a tone that causes us to say, huh, what am I afraid of? What am I doubtful about? I think this because in the next moment, he offers himself for examination, and when they are still afraid he eats with them. And then, he “opens their minds” to the scriptures, to the deeper meaning of what has happened, and then goes on to what they should now do: be witnesses to these things, to the possibility that people could turn their lives around, that is, repent, and find forgiveness—grace—when they do. You are witnesses of these things, he tells them. You’ve seen it in your own lives—right here! That there is nothing that will stop God, that God’s purposes are righteous AND loving, that God wants all people to be restored and renewed and to live in the light of love.
Which brings us back to the homeless project and the water bottle story. If God wills something, God will see it done. That is one of the overall stories of the Bible. We are witnesses to those things when we tell about the resurrection, and we are also witnesses of those things when we do more than tell: when we show what a life renewed by God’s love can look like. When we manifest God’s love and care by our own acts of love and care. We are not to hunker down in the sanctuary and be in that room apart, like the followers of Jesus in this story. God will not leave us alone. Jesus will appear. And he will ask us, again and again, “Why are you so frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?” There is always something we can do in service of the good news.
Here are some things. Those children who are starving? Whose upper arms are impossibly tiny because they don’t have enough nourishment to develop muscles? We can provide nourishment. The CROP Walk on May 3 is happening to raise money for hunger relief around the world, not only emergency food, but creation of drip irrigation and development of farming techniques and creation of jobs for the parents of these children so that they can provide. And 25% of the money raised by the Walk will come back to our community. To the groups which are working to relieve hunger: Yad Ezra Kosher food pantry. The Salvation Army.Baldwin Center of Pontiac. And, to Neighborhood House, to St. Alexander Food Pantry, who are sitting in the group of 40, imagining solutions that will move people out of homelessness and back into productive fullness of life. So, for starters: sign up to walk. Go online and make a donation to the North Church walk team. Make a pledge on a walker’s envelope. Ask friends and neighbors to give some money—it doesn’t take a lot, if we work together.
And that is the key. We are working together. I know this is not the last time I’ll mention the work of the group of 40; it is a need in our community, and we are called to love our neighbor as ourselves. Jesus did not berate his followers for their fear and doubt, he encouraged them. And the community of encouragement he created, and into which God breathed the Spirit, is this, the church. We are called and inspired, not because we are perfect, but because our hearts, even full of fear and doubt, are willing to love and serve Jesus by doing his work in the world.
Our Savior meets us right where we are, as we are, just as he met them, and gently, kindly, asks, “Why are you so frightened, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?” Let the answers rise up in the presence of God’s lovingkindness, in the presence of the community of Christ, and then discover your courage, and your faith, to go forth as the Body of Christ for the world.

How to deal with people that rub you the wrong way
July 24, 2017
I am one of the therapists here at Healthy Futures, and just wanted to discuss today a couple of strategies that anyone can use when you have to be around people that you don’t necessarily choose to be around, but you don’t have a choice of another place to be, whether that be at work, whether that be at a family reunion, whether that be anywhere where there’s a person that you would choose not to be around.
One of the strategies that you can use is to gently avoid that person. When I say gently avoid, I mean that you would have conversation with that person that you would have if you had just met them. You might talk about the weather. You might talk about the events that you’re at. You might comment on something that is happening in news today, a current event, but you wouldn’t discuss anything more than that. It would be a very basic conversation that you would have with that person.
If you can avoid them, great. Have conversations with other people that you truly enjoy having a conversation with. Be involved in activities that you truly enjoy. That person can be there, but you don’t necessarily have to be involved with that person.
Another thing that you can do that works well with people that you don’t necessarily get along with is by not taking anything that they do personally. When I say that, I mean that don’t assume that they are doing things to frustrate you, to annoy you, to upset you. Just assume that they are doing things because this is their natural behavior. It’s some habit that they have that might be annoying, but it’s not necessarily directed at you.
That person just becomes another person that you encounter, and they don’t necessarily have to be someone that’s frustrating to you or someone that is very angering to you. They just happen to be another person that you might have to encounter on a daily basis.
If you are a client of Healthy Futures, feel free to ask for any sort of advice, maybe some role-playing techniques or how to handle a specific situation. If not, good luck with all of those situations where you might have to encounter people that you don’t always have fun with.
Have conversations with other people that you truly enjoy having a conversation with. Be involved in activities that you truly enjoy. That person can be there, but you don’t necessarily have to be involved with that person.

What is Local SEO?
You’ve probably heard lots of buzz about local SEO (search engine optimization), Google Maps, Google Place Pages, geo-targeting and so on. But what does all the lingo mean — and how can it make a difference to your bottom line?
Google Place Pages
Google now offers a powerful system called Google Place Pages. You know the little map that pops up when you’re searching for a business in your own town? That’s Google Place Pages. When your website is optimized to include geographic keywords (“Flower shop in Austin,” et cetera), it shows up as a search result next to a map illustration pinpointing your location. This is not only incredibly helpful for your potential customers, it’s incredibly helpful for putting your company “on the map” — literally — and getting you in front of the people in your own neighborhood who need your products or services.
Put Yourself “Above the Fold”
Google Place Pages currently offers another huge benefit to smaller businesses by positioning them “above the fold” on the search results page. What does that mean? Go search Google for a business in a specific location and look at the first page of the search results. You’ll usually see the Google Place Pages listings up toward the top half of the page, followed by — everyone else. Did you have to scroll down to see the rest of the list? That’s the “fold.” You don’t want to make people scroll for your business — you want to be right up there on top, above the fold.
Beat the Big Guys on Google
Local SEO can put your local small business above any number of web-based mega-companies on the search results page. Why? Because you’re optimized for Google Place Pages, and they aren’t. They don’t have a physical storefront in your area, and you do. That’s the power of Local SEO!
How Does It Work?
Business can use any of three strategies to put local SEO to work for them. ionadas local, your local SEO expert, offers packages and programs for all three. Check it out….

In this article, we’ll have a brief discussion of the performance, networking, and other improvements in Silverlight 5.
Performance has been improved in Silverlight 5 in a number of ways:
- Significant improvement in performance through the entire product
- Startup performance has been improved using a multi-core background JIT compiler
- XAML parsing time has been improved especially for UserControl and ResourceDictionary
- Added 64-bit runtime version. Not in beta
- Hardware accelerated rendering in Internet Explorer 9 in windowless mode
And networking has its share of improvements:
- Network latency has been improved significantly
- 90% performance improvements in ClientHttpWebRequest scenarios
Added support for WS-Trust in WCF. (WS-Trust is a specification aimed to improve security and validation.)
Profiling and Testing
- Automated UI testing
- Improved profiling support:
- Thread contention
- Support for Windows Azure
- In-Browser HTML support
- Many more fixes and improvements throughout the product
Now, check out other What’s New in Silverlight 5? articles.

This content is based on Beta release, expect many changes in the final release.
Check out other Silverlight 5 articles here.
If you are new to Silverlight, check out this article.
What’s New – XAML Changes
What’s New – Control and Text Changes
What’s New – Graphics Changes
What’s New – Media Improvements
What’s New – Elevated-Trust Changes
What’s New – Other Improvements
The first thing to know about Silverlight 5 is that it’s currently in beta, means that it definitely has bugs, and it also not yet feature-complete; some features are going to be shipped later in the final version. In addition, being in beta means that no go-live license available, this is for internal use and testing only so do not install on user’s machine.
Worth mentioning that Silverlight 5 was first announced at PDC 2010 conference (October 2010) and the beta version was shipped later at MIX11 (April 2011,) and the final version will be released soon this year.
Goals of the version 5 include:
- Improving performance
- Getting closer to WPF
- Enabling line-of-business scenarios
- Better development experience
Silverlight 5 has come with lots of improvements and changes, and those improvements can be divided into several areas:
To get started you need to have first Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 Service Pack 1 installed on you PC. After that, you can go to http://silverlight.net and download the beta SDK and tools for VS2010.
In addition, you can install Microsoft Expression Blend Preview for Silverlight 5 Beta if you like using it.
After you have VS2010 SP1 and Silverlight 5 SDK installed on your PC, you can continue reading and start making your cool stuff!
Now let’s start with XAML changes, but first let’s take a look at our model that’s going to be used through all the samples.
I was asked whether it’s efficient to perform a manual garbage collection using GC.Collect() or not!
Actually, it’s better to just let the CLR handle it. However, there’re few circumstances where manually performing garbage collection is preferred, such as if some non-recurring event has just happened and this event is highly likely to have caused a lot of old objects to die.
More details are available in Rico Mariani’s…
Have a nice weekend!

It has been always said that when you clean the folder %windir%Prefetch you give your system and applications more performance.
Actually, thats one of the fables around Windows. Each time you start your computer and each time you open a program that you commonly use, Windows keeps track of information required to start the computer or that application and saves theses information in small files (called Prefetch entries) in the Prefetch folder to use it later to help speed up the computer start process or the application start time.
Thus, cleaning the Prefetch folder doesnt improve performance at all. Instead, it slows it down. It makes Windows uses longer time to start, and makes your favorite programs take longer time opening. An analysis did by TuneUp Systems results in a noticeable slowdown during Windows boot-up time and all applications that are commonly used took significantly longer to start after cleaning Prefetch.
Obviously, you do not need to deal with Prefetch entries manually, Windows handles them all. Actually, Windows Vista (and future systems that support UAC) helps protecting the Prefetch folder by using UAC (User Access Control, read more here) to prevent unauthorized access to this folder.

Supporting The Darkness
This is one of those history entries that we will just have to update in the future. For now, the game is too early in its development... the fans a bit too rabid... and we are sworn to secrecy. Like vampires hunting in the night... we moved unseen through this feedback and testing engagement helping to evaluate very early systems and really enjoying the chance to support the team. This is an ongoing effort into 2014 and we'll, at some point, flesh out this section with more information.

(My Mom used to call me C.B. I thought it was because of my great-grandfather, C.B. Neihart…)
It’s now well over a year into actual brewing, bottling, social media-ing, delivering, eventing, thinking, and living The Ale Apothecary. I do believe it’s time to sit back, sip on this Total Domination IPA from Ninkasi and seriously evaluate exactly where I’m at with this whole thing.
“You do that every night, honey!” Staci exclaims from the hot tub as she sips on the same.
We do consume Apothecary beer, but not every night. Usually one bottle from each batch to check that the bottle conditioning has ‘gone off’ and every once in a while to celebrate something important to us (about 2 bottles per month). Still, this is a fantastic amount in the scheme of things. Our Ale Club members get 3 bottles per quarter. Jeff H. told me today that he and a couple close friends consumed all 3 of his El Cuatro one night after planning on opening just one. He said it might be the very best beer he’s ever had. That beer has all been sold off now. In fact, Jeff H. bought the last 2 available bottles directly from the brewery.
Do you see what this means?
I do believe it means that, within a relatively short span of time, I’ve reached my goals.
In another early blog post, I imagined a brewer trading beer for meat or some other subsistence item…it was an important vision for me to help define the core of this project. The project is mostly small brewery stuff, but the overall impact much greater (ideally). An experiment in honor, integrity, and personal relationships that ends up bigger than the beer and more important than the beer itself. The beer is the vehicle. The project is, and always has been about how far can I pull (or push) our ‘general way of life’ in a direction that feels better for me and my family, hopefully encouraging others to take part. This is ultimately for my children, as far as I can tell. A big lesson in the form of our life. Money (i.e. business) is the reality of our current existence, unfortunately. This is a core concept for me. I think I would have been a pretty good hunter/gatherer. Work hard for a bit, eat well, lay around some. I’m not too fond of what the drive for the almighty dollar does to our society. But! In order for me to fulfill the goals I have with the skill set that I have, I must bend like a reed in the wind. Do the business thing. Build a brewery. Live ‘FREE’. At least, live as free as possible chained to my own personal creation…more on that later. Perhaps not. Anyone owned and operated a small business before?? Simple living, made difficult by yours truly. It’s a gift.
Anyway, the brewery is kicking ass! We’re getting excellent press, offers from folks who’d like to bring our beer to Washington, California, Idaho, British Columbia. The beer looks and tastes great. My processes are tighter and more predictable. I have a young lad who is going to help me develop the brewery in the next phase. Jeffrey is young and has Apothecary values. He sees an opportunity for himself to earn an honest living while retaining those values. I hope I can provide that opportunity! I’m trying to provide it for myself first, then shower it upon others (just like the oxygen masks in the airplanes). However, with the brewery so busy and the beer so rare and difficult to make, I am finding myself struggling to do what I said I’d do from the beginning.
Saying the word ‘no’.
Not everyone gets to be a part of our brewery. Some can’t afford the beer. Others can’t get their hands on it. Many miss an opportunity to come visit because I’m too busy. We can only entertain so many Ale Club members. Some just showed up too late, already! While this has been part of the plan from the get-go, I hadn’t imagined that this brewery concept would resonate with so many people where it would actually become an issue. I would very much like to get my beer into anyone’s hands that wanted it! This would mean my treasured values would be shared and celebrated with others. Herein lies the dilemma for my next project. Project ‘What’s Next’. No. Let’s refer to it as ‘Project WTF’. As in “WTF DO I DO NOW?”
Sahati came out recently. I meant to blog it’s unveiling like the El Cuatro because, more than any other beer, it defines our brewery’s values. Chop a tree down in our yard, make old world beer with our hands and share it with friends. However, when making this beer, I’ve realize that I can’t just keep cutting spruce limbs off my trees every time I brew. I’d run out of limbs and endanger the health of the trees here. What does that mean? Order spruce? Harvest it from my neighbors? Our black currant beer, Spencer, is almost ready for our Ale Club members. We have only been able to make one oak barrel of this beer each year due to the number of berries available by the creek. Because of this, we can’t afford to put a label on the bottles, yet it is by far our most revered beer (perhaps in part due to it’s rarity).
Maybe you see where I’m going with this. I think that this brewery is telling me what I already know and believe. That human beings (in our current existence) are not sustainable creatures in the way that I imagine our potential. Does it matter? I don’t know. I think no matter what, our culture will go the way of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians someday. So does it matter? In a funny way, the idea of oblivion makes it matter that much more. Putting meaningful effort into something is important…it may be the most important. If everything is temporary, let us at least be temporarily entranced as often as possible.
The brewery, in thought, is my entrancement that I’m trying to share with others…however, with the pressure of the modern world, has great potential to become a personal burden that distracts me from my original mission & goals. My small little brewery holds a physical and mental leash on my attentiveness to my children, my wife and my friends. Many of my favorite hobbies have been severely neglected. The sustainability of the original concept is being tested pretty hard right now as I set up to brew two more batches of Sahati this week and as I look for solutions for brewery wastewater reuse/recycling/disposal. The financial state of the brewery is held captive by it’s inability to grow in it’s current form. OMG! I think I’m following some sort of entrepreneurial rite of passage here.
But, as things are only temporary, I am looking to involve others who share my vision in order to make some changes. Who knows where we’ll be next year, but with the same principles and some serious out-of-the-box thinking, I can envision a future where we all can get what we want out of this brewery. Staci calls it ‘Breaking the Boat’. When goals are met, it’s time to set new ones. In order to reach these new goals, a different set of skills and resources are needed. The original boat that got The Ale Apothecary here is not suitable for the next phase of the journey…in fact, she’s loaded down pretty heavy and I’m concerned that if things continue, my time will be spent doing more baling than brewing.
Last year saw the brewery produce 5 world-class beers. Insane. I am humbled by the reception and extremely proud of our accomplishments. This next year will see at least one new beer, a stout, inspired by my late great Mom. She was a stout drinker & I think I’m going to call it ‘CB’ or ‘Chicken Butt’. Sahalie and (TBFKA) La Tache will be brewed steadily. El Cuatro, Sahati, and Spencer will be offered in the amounts we can sustain. Most importantly, Project WTF is officially underway as of this post!

10 years is a blink of an eye in terms of human history, but will the last 10 years come to be known as the period that changed our vision and health? The first iPhone was released in 2007, and the first iPad in 2010 with many similar devices released soon after. CFL and LED light bulbs have been legislated into service over the past few years, largely replacing incandescent bulbs. The common thread between smartphones, tablets, laptops, LCD flat panel monitors and energy efficient light sources are their high emission of blue light.
A rule of thumb when determining potential for damage caused by light is to look at wavelength. Shorter wavelengths have higher energy with greater potential for damage. The visible light spectrum (the light we use to see) ranges from 400-750 nanometers (nm). Blue light is defined as light from 400-500 nm, the shortest visible light wavelengths. Sunlight is our strongest source of blue light, which is why the sky is blue. But previously, when we came in from outdoors, our exposure to blue light ended. As a result of technology, we now have blue light exposure at all hours of the day.
A growing body of scientific study indicates the strong possibility that blue light exposure contributes to visual fatigue, sleep deficiency, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). In a recent survey of VSP eye care providers, 83% of respondents reported seeing an increase in symptoms attributable to blue light exposure in their patients, a dramatic rise from previous years.
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to protect your vision: Sharper Image® TechShield is a revolutionary blue light protective coating for eyeglasses which can be worn even if one does not require a prescription for vision correction. These lenses help reflect and absorb harmful blue light, and should be regarded as our safety glasses for the 21st century.

Philadelphia CyberKnife focuses on education during Brain Tumor Awareness Month
May marks the recognition of National Brain Tumor Awareness Month. Since its establishment in 2008, community organizations and support groups celebrate this month with increased efforts to raise awareness of brain tumors, increase funding for research and educate the public on symptoms and treatment options.
The Central Brain Tumor Registry estimates 66,290 new cases of primary non–malignant and malignant brain and central nervous system tumors will be diagnosed in the United States in 2012. What patients may not know is that a large percentage of those diagnoses will be from metastatic tumors, tumors that develop from cancer cells that have spread from another part of the body.
There are more than 120 different types of brain tumors, and while not all are necessarily fatal, any brain tumor should be considered a serious health condition. Brain tumors often create increased pressure in the skull, known as intracranial hypertension. This can lead to, among other conditions, headaches, vomiting, vision problems and altered states of consciousness.

A couple interior designer residents happened by my loft a week ago and said "no! no! no! no! no!" about where I had this bookcase. They told me it belonged on the landing of the staircase. Actually, the place I'd stuck it was just the default place, because it wouldn't fit upstairs in my bedroom, alas, and I didn't really give it a lot of thought after just sticking it one convenient place in a fit of disappointment.
I don't know what it is about certain musicians, but I adore Thom Yorke and I just can't peel into a new cd of his right away. Have to save it. Anyway, was feeling down and in the depths of crapitude Tuesday night so that became the moment to crack into In Rainbows, the new Radiohead cd. Great stuff for moments of industriousness, it turns out.
Buoyed by good music, I cleared out the little display case I had on the landing and emptied the bookshelf of books, and then went out and found two strapping young residents to shift the bookcase for me. It's not terribly heavy and I'm strong, so I could have lifted half of it, but I'm short enough that leverage can be an issue. Anyway, newly tidied, framed by the building's support structure and against the robin's egg blue wall, I think it's never looked better. Sometime when everything looks decent, I'll post photos taken with a better camera and at a better time of day for lighting.
Have a lovely Wednesday. I will. Tonight, shooty goodness with Holly, where I'll get to practice a bunch more with the Ruger Mark II, as well as a couple other .22 pistols. I'm planning to try to shoot in the steel plate matches the rest of the summer at my gun club.

What a fun filled weekend I’ve had. I know all of you ladies know the Take Home Chef, Curtis Stone right? He came right here to Newport Beach’s Sur La Table yesterday for a book signing and you better believe I made it in line with all of the other drooling ladies. I waited an hour to get a picture and an autographed book. I’d say it was worth it, what a nice guy! My pics are below of my few minutes with him.
Now for my new favorite cookies…..I recently found a great new product at Trader Joes last week called Dark Chocolate Mint UFO’s. They are awesome and I am completely addicted to them. If you are close to a Trader Joes, definitely go get yourself a bag. If you do not have Trader Joes in your town, use dark chocolate chips and a teaspoon or so of mint extract for a similar cookie. The flavor combination here is really good. Even my husband who claims to hate coconut said he really liked these cookies. Hope you all enjoy!
Dark Chocolate Mint Coconut Macaroon Cookies
- 2 sticks melted butter
- 3/4 cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 1/2 cups shredded sweetened coconut
- 2 cups Trader Joes Dark Chocolate Mint UFO Baking Pieces
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a stand or electric mixer, beat melted butter and sugars until well combined. Add in eggs and vanilla until well combined.
- Place flours, salt and baking soda into a large bowl then slowly add into wet ingredients along with the coconut and dark chocolate pieces until just combined. Scoop dough with a medium cookie scoop onto a silpat or parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 9-11 minutes or until just golden around the edges, but still soft in the center. Let cool for 5 minutes on baking sheet before transferring to cooling rack.
Curtis Stone’s Book Signing at Sur La Table!

A single-car crash left a building on fire and one driver uninjured near Lake Linden (in the north region of Houghton County) earlier this Sunday morning.
The Keweenaw Report said in their post that the driver of a pickup truck crossed their centerline near an intersection on M-26.
The driver missed a signpost for the Drive-Thru Depot, knocking down the restaurant’s air conditioning units before crashing into a storage building.
The truck eventually caught fire and was destroyed. The building was heavily damaged as a result.
The driver was unhurt after escaping the truck and running to safety.
M-26 was closed for an hour as firefighters were battling the fire.
The Keweenaw Report will be providing more updates and information about this accident/fire once they become available.

“Why would it cost that much?” is a question I’m sure most of us have asked ourselves on at least one occasion while trying to purchase a new product or service. From a consumer’s standpoint, we naturally want the best product or service for the lowest price. But is this realistic? I’m sure most suppliers would argue that it simply is not.
This leaves the consumer with a number of questions they must answer for themselves. Perhaps the top question would be, what’s more important to you? Price or quality?
The common law of business balance is the principle that one cannot pay a little and get a lot. Furthermore, paying a cheaper price will not guarantee the buyer will receive a product of high quality value.
The point is, you simply can’t (unfortunately for all of us) pay the cheapest price and get a premium product or service. Which brings us to the issue we’re faced with as billing companies in today’s marketplace. There is a wide array of billing companies that have targeted the EMS industry and can fairly be categorized as one of the following:
- Privately owned and operated “niche” companies that support public sector EMS/Fire billing, collection, consultation, reporting and electronic data capture needs. All resources are used to support EMS and Fire operations.
- Multi-specialty billing companies forced to fragment resources to appeal to and support a wide array of clients with very different needs (e.g. Emergency rooms, Doctors, Dentists, Chiropractors, EMS).
- Capital venture backed corporations, aggressively purchasing privately owned medical billing and software companies and offering aggressively low pricing, with focus on increasing revenue multiples (at the cost of present day profitability) to maximize future merger and acquisition (M&A) value.
- Private ambulance companies through affiliates, “billing arms” or divisions. Many private ambulance companies have experienced a steep decline in revenue as a direct result of the public sector emergence into the paid transporting business. For this category, we have examples where one day, the private ambulance company provided billing services for the municipality and the next day, the private ambulance company displaced the entire EMS fleet by taking over 100% of all EMS transports.
At AccuMed, we are proud to be one of the very few companies in the nation to squarely fit in category one. This is not to say that we would always be the most expensive option, but rather, it is to say that whatever the price, you get what you pay for. At AccuMed, you get a premium service. You’re paying for an abundance of resources to help drive revenue, compliance and exceptional customer service. So again, we must ask: price or quality? It’s an important question and one we should always consider from multiple angles.

The Kremlin has denied that Vladimir Putin personally chose a particularly attractive interpreter to sidetrack ex-president Donald Trump at a 2019 meeting.
The extraordinary claim is from former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham in a forthcoming publication.
The interpreter, seen in a photograph of Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump shaking hands in Osaka, Japan two years ago, can be identified as Russian foreign ministry specialist linguist Daria Boyarskaya, 36, who is also an amateur salsa dancer.
According to a newspaper outlet, Stephanie Grisham told how Fiona Hill, the former administration’s Russia expert, had seen the inclusion of the interpreter as questionable, and as the meeting started, Fiona Hill leaned over and inquired if she’d seen Vladimir Putin’s translator, who was an extremely beautiful brunette woman with long hair, a comely face, and had a pleasing appearance.
She then continued to tell her that she speculated that the woman had been chosen by Vladimir Putin specifically to distract the then president.
Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov hit back at the report, rejecting any role for Putin in choosing Boyarskaya, a keen dancer, who he didn’t name, as a secret weapon.
Dmitry Peskov said that interpreters were provided by the foreign ministry at the behest of the presidential administration and that Vladimir Putin himself was not involved in the process of that.
However, it wasn’t the first time that Vladimir Putin had used Boyarskaya to translate in a session with an American president.
Before the Trump-Putin talks in Japan, the same interpreter had been deployed in 2016 at a meeting between Vladimir Putin and the then US president Barack Obama in Hangzhou, China.
This and the 2019 meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump are openly recorded by the St Petersburg School of Conference Interpreting and Translation (SCIT), part of Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, from where she’d graduated in 2009.
Initially, she’d studied at the Immanuel Kant Baltic Federal University in Kaliningrad.
According to the SCIT records, she additionally worked for Vladimir Putin at a session with US National Security Advisor John Bolton in Moscow on October 23, 2018, and she interpreted for the Russian president at a meeting he held with FIFA President Gianni Infantino in April 2016.
According to her social media, Boyarskaya works regularly at the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
She wasn’t there to translate for Putin, but probably for other dignitaries because Vladimir Putin speaks excellent English, probably better than Donald Trump does. The story is yet no more than anti-Russian propaganda, and from the photos, Donald Trump didn’t even seem to notice she was in the room.
Although Vladimir Putin is an intelligent person, so why wouldn’t he do that for Donald Trump, knowing that he has a fondness for the ladies, which was a masterful move, I’d say. Although she didn’t turn up in exotic attire, she turned up professionally to do her job, but then being an attractive working woman frequently creates excitement in the loins of men.
This was pretty sexist from the Daily Mail. The lady was dressed professionally and looks like any average woman in the photos, and just because she does other things outside of her job doesn’t mean her only purpose was to be eye candy.
I doubt that she was sharing her social media pics in the meeting, and whoever was making this connection was really stretching to find a point.

So go on and tear it up
Black and cold with the dust
'Cause I believe in the Lord
But he don't show up anymore
If you can't trust the wind, who can you trust?
If you can't love sin, who can you love?
If I begin will you let me finish up?
If I fell down would you pick me up?
If I don't drink from a silver cup, like you,
Would you say so long, farewell, and good luck?
If a man can't lie, how can he speak?
If the sun don't rise, would the moon be out of reach?
If I came home, would you get down on your knees?

Disclaimer: I think I’ve said it often enough; I do not own Gravitation. It would be a lot less silly if I did.
Author’s Note: This drabble is my response silver magess’ Winter holiday fic challenge at Gravi_Muse_Meet. It was indeed challenging to hold myself to the 500 word limit… and I still went over a little. I hope it’s enjoyable.
This morning, Mika had dressed in houmongi; an appropriately respectful kimono for ikebana. When she had learned the art of flower arranging, Mika had worn a maiden’s furisode with long, beautiful sleeves. A small, melancholy smile turned the corners of her lips; she was no longer a maiden. In her thirties, now, she was no longer considered ‘young’. Mika wasn’t a mother yet, either. Like the cold, sleeping nature of winter, she remained barren.
With those bitter thoughts in her mind, she looked over the collection of flowers, branches, and plants she had gathered yesterday. The camellia had been purchased and the branches of red and orange Japanese winter berries were collected from the yard. They had set in water overnight. It would have been better to make the arrangement while everything was at its freshest, but all preparations for the holidays fell to Mika and last night, she had had too much to do. She hadn’t been able to approach the flowers with a calm mind or to consider them without haste. She had decided to take this morning for herself and selfishly perform her tradition of arranging a winter bouquet for the upcoming rounds of parties and visitors.
She had chosen a tall, black ceramic vase, preferring the nageire style over the shallow-vased moribana style. She fingered a winter berry, remembering how she had learned the messages and seasons of the flowers while she stood at her mother’s knee. Her perfect, graceful mother had a way with flowers that made her arrangements unique and eye-catching in a flattering way. She had loved the flowers of each and every season and Mika had loved them because of her mother. This was one of the few ways they had spent time together. When her brothers had come along, this ritual between mother and daughter had become twice as cherished.
Mother used to say to her, “Uesugi males have their duty to the temple and Uesugi females have their duty to the home.” Then she would wink and say, “One of those duties is to make the home a beautiful place. Aren’t we lucky?”
Lucky, Mika mused. Wasn’t she lucky? She had much to be thankful for— family, a nice home, virtually any material goods she wanted . . . she had married well. Much like her mother, Mika was the product of a well-born woman’s classical education. She could play koto, write flowing calligraphy and poetry, arrange flowers, flawlessly perform tea ceremony, cook, and host dinners or parties for large gatherings. Why didn’t these accomplishments— these skills— make her happy?
Mika selected branches of the winter berries and teased them into sweeping forms. The camellia were small white buds now, but over the holidays, they would bloom. Mika carefully placed them opposite the branch of winter berries, creating balance. She judiciously plucked a couple of thick, dark green leaves off the camellia’s branch and tucked a smaller branch of winter berry into the fore of the vase’s lip. Looking on it, she saw the complex beauty of the plants and empathized with them.
Mika would be seen to bloom over the holidays, too, a surface-perfect social light. The holidays would pass. Mika would toss the flowers out with the trash and she would . . . return to her routines. She would take care of her duties to house and to family; beautiful but ignored.
A traditional Japanese musical instrument; the koto is a thirteen-stringed zither, about 2 meters long and made of Paulownia wood. It is plucked using picks on the thumb and first two fingers of the right hand, while the left hand can be used to modify pitch and tone.
Author’s end note: I have been experimenting more with secondary and tertiary Gravi characters. I hope you enjoyed Mika’s POV and that you will leave me a comment. :D

In a rural Illinois county, an IT forensic audit of government computers allegedly turns up porn, theft of services, bid rigging, campaigning, running personal businesses, political fundraising, surfing sports websites, and thousands of Facebook posts, dating and shopping website hits.
The decline toward lawlessness begins when a community tolerates minor violations of public order – vandalism of abandoned structures, turnstile jumpers, and the like. Left unchecked, small offenses turn into more serious crimes. This is the Broken Windows theory of criminology.
Thanks to the courageous leadership of a county chairman, Rod Copas, in rural Iroquois County (100 miles south of Chicago in mid-central Illinois) a recent IT forensic audit of government computers released yesterday provides alleged evidence backing this theory.
An analysis of four employee computers by Garrett Discovery Inc. in the health department allegedly turned up hundreds of downloaded porn images, 3,000 hits on shopping websites,1,400 hits on dating websites, and 7,600 social media- Facebook posts/comments. The analysis also found evidence of a public credit for private use, bid rigging, running personal businesses, campaigning, and political fundraising, not to mention google searches for grossly inappropriate and explicit terms and 10,000 google searches for key words such as cars, makeup, apartments, sports, Disney and clothes.
All this was discovered after Copas led the charge to disband the department for the allegedly larger crimes such as $4 million federal flood grant fraud, public credit cards used for private beer and gasoline purchases, and substantial gift card employee compensation that circumvented payroll taxes.
Yet, there are still no indictments much less prosecutions of wrongdoing. At Wednesdays county board meeting, Copas said, “I wish I could put into words what I have seen and the lack of prosecution of blatant criminal acts that have cost taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.”
The audit firm contracted for the searches doesn’t see Iroquois County as an outlier. In order to understand the pervasiveness of “small crimes” in Illinois, we reached out to the principal Andrew Garrett.
“As a forensic expert,” Garrett explained, “I have examined many computers used by county and state employees and most were used for personal business and over half were used inappropriately or to violate state and federal laws.”
Garrett went on to say that “forensic auditing is a necessary practice to ensure that the taxpayers are protected from wrongdoing.”
We couldn’t agree more.
The Edgar County Watchdogs (recently profiled here at Forbes), also gave testimony saying, “We uncovered collusion to commit crimes, self-dealings, fraud, official misconduct as well as outright deceptive practices by public employees who many of you continue to defend, which we now see today has been validated by a professional forensic expert.”
In Illinois and across the country it is time to crack down on the small stuff. We should not only look into statewide offices and agencies, but burrow down to the township and municipal level where the mindset of waste, greed and insider dealing sets in.
What the forensic audits have uncovered in Iroquois County goes on in some form in many of Illinois’ 6,900-plus government entities. Yet, Attorney General Lisa Madigan prosecuted only 15 public corruption cases from 2002-2011, despite a staff of 727 employees.
Illinois’ 102 state’s attorneys can do better as well. Unforunately, few of them seem interested in prosecuting public corruption even though it is politically popular.
Sadly, the township/county political apparatus makes it difficult for a state’s attorney to prosecute the people whose political organizations put them in their seat. This is why we see so little prosecution of minor infractions, and this is how the mindset of corruption –legal and illegal – creeps in.
Some people use the excuse that “everybody does it” when lamenting Illinois’ brand of government malfeasance. It’s time to confront this mindset head-on.
To reverse the rapid decline of this state, we must start prosecuting these so-called minor infractions. We must call them the morally toxic destroyers of trust and integrity that they are. Wrong-doers need to feel the bite of losing jobs and benefits.
The solution is for the legislature to dramatically expand adversarial forensic audits to specifically target corrupt practices and claw-back taxpayer dollars. Independent auditors need robust tools to go further than the pro-forma annual auditing and begin formal IT auditing practices.
We must fix the “broken windows” of Illinois corruption. Or, we can continue to watch talented people and dynamic companies leave this once admired state.
Adam Andrzejewski is the Chairman of American Transparency and founder of For The Good of Illinois and the transparency website OpenTheBooks.com. Rod Copas won the “Courage Award 2014” from For The Good of Illinois.

What do you think about Star Crusade?
About Star Crusade
Star Crusade: War for the Expanse is a free-to-play sci-fi themed collectable card game developed and published by ZiMAD inc. Players command one of six factions fighting for control of a highly contested sector of space. These factions range in type from cybernetically enhanced to zealots to battle hardened. Some feature large mercenary armies while others prefer massive weapons.
Unlike a lot of CCG’s, Star Crusade allows players to customize their deck size — with over 400 cards to build from. The game features 3 modes: Casual, Raid, and Ranked. It also offers a variety of missions for players and can be played anywhere — both on PC and mobile devices.
Raids are a special type of gameplay that does not take player rank into account. During gameplay in this mode, players can not use a prepared deck and maps will be random.
The game features 4 different card types: Units — entity cards that will remain in play until they are destroyed, Tactics — one off cards capable of changing the flow of the battle in one move, Ciphers — cards that effect an enemy without them getting to see them beforehand, and Equipment — cards used directly by the commander (player) to directly engage in the battle. The equipment cards can consist of weapons or enhancements.
While the base game is free to play, there are a variety of content packs available to supplement it. These range in price from $20 to $50 and can be purchased for all available platforms.
Disclosure: FreeToGame works closely with publishers and developers to offer a free and rewarding experience. In order to keep everything free to use we may sometimes earn a small commission from some partners. Find more info in our FAQ page.

10 Hilarious Windscreen Messages That You Won’t Forget
With more and more cars joining the roads every year it also seems to be getting more frustrating going anywhere and expecting some common decency from your fellow drivers. With more lunatics and idiots than you can throw a stick at, and more morons taking up two parking spaces every day, some people have had enough. It is these fed up heroes that we are taking a look at today with ten brilliant windscreen messages that you won’t forget. So next time you see an idiot on the road, think back to this list and leave one of your own.
When nature calls, you have no choice but to answer and suffer the consequences. It’s nice to see someone gave this guy a break and had a laugh at his expense.
Spiderman Neighborhood Watch
This is the most polite letter I have ever seen a villain of Spider-Man’s receive. Not that most of them receive many, they usually just get punched and tied up with some web.
He Might Just Sue
The law states that it is the person who hit another that is at fault, but when the other person parks like an idiot, is he really to blame? Well this guy doesn’t take any nonsense and gets straight to the point; you act like a moron, therefore this is your fault. Sounds fair to us.
Honesty At Its Finest
Straight to the point and about as honest as it gets. This is the best kind of advice to give and to live by.
With the recent snow storms in the US, people are pleading for a little bit of mercy when it comes to parking their car. The little blue envelope seems to have shattered everyone’s hopes, though.
Dear Deviants, Please Be Advised
When you really need baby wipes – and you’re a deviant – feel free to help yourself to one. This lady is obviously prepared enough to take her stuff out of her car and prepare a note, it’s just a wonder she hasn’t gotten a new window.
Well, when your parking instructor is a blind man, you’re not going to have a great time, and neither is everyone else around.
Broke And Broken
When you’re too poor to afford anything nice and people break into your car anyways, you should probably move out of the hood.
Bob The Parking Inspector
Good old Bob giving no shits and telling it how it is. Sometimes a harsh lesson is the only way to leave a lasting impression on someone.
We would not agree that a Nissan Altima is a nice car, but the general consensus is that this guy who parked in two spots is the worst kind of person. Learn how to park or have your ice cream forever karma-melted.

Shares of the company producing China’s national liquor reached a record high after it stoked fears of an impending shortage.
Kweichow Moutai, which manufactures the country’s notoriously fiery maotai liquor, posted share prices of nearly 377 yuan (about $54) this morning having closed at 369.90 yuan Thursday. The partially state-owned company’s soaring stocks contrast with a slump in recent years that has coincided with a crackdown on official corruption.
Maotai was once the favored drink of China’s officialdom, but the brand was among the worst hit by President Xi Jinping’s crackdowns on cadre corruption and extravagance, which began in late 2012. Kweichow Moutai’s shares, which trade on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, bottomed out at 91.2 yuan per share in January 2014. Once, 30 percent of the company’s liquor reportedly found its way to the tables of state banquets and other official events. Now, that number has fallen to just 1 percent.
After a period of depressed profits, Kweichow Moutai appears to have found a solution: cutting production. In the first 11 months of 2014, Kweichow Moutai produced 38,700 tons of liquor. This year, the company plans an annual output of just 26,800 tons.
Company officials were keen to point out that supply may not meet projected domestic demand for 2017. At a symposium on maotai distribution held March 3 in Zhengzhou, central China’s Henan province, parent company Kweichow Moutai Group’s general manager and Party committee secretary, Li Baofang, said that 6,500 tons of liquor had been sold in the first two months of 2017 alone. He said this was equivalent to over 30 percent of the entire year’s expected sales — which may be less than production as speculators hold back stock to drive up the liquor’s price. Bottles of maotai currently hitting store shelves would only satisfy around half of projected consumer demand, Li added.
Other industry insiders moved to allay fears of a dry spell for the country’s liquor lovers. “It’s perfectly normal for 30 percent of the year’s maotai stock to sell in January and February,” said an unnamed distributor in an interview with The Paper, Sixth Tone’s sister publication. “Historically, the trend has always been that way.”
Maotai has a reputation as one of China’s most distinctive and prestigious drinks. Dating back to the Qing Dynasty, the heady liquor is made by fermenting sorghum, a crop plant native to southwestern China’s Guizhou province. The drink is a type of baijiu, a family of highly alcoholic spirits distilled from the country’s native grains, and is considered a luxurious gift.
Served at events ranging from business dinners to state banquets, maotai was named China’s national liquor in 1951 and brought under state ownership. Though Kweichow Moutai is now partially privatized, the company’s fortunes have fluctuated along with official policy.
In 2013, Kweichow Moutai announced a 15.3 percent rise in net profit from the year before. But, as official excess came under greater scrutiny, the company’s annual net profit growth between 2013 and 2015 fell as low as 1 percent. At one point in 2014, bottles of maotai — which sometimes retail for more than 1,000 yuan apiece — were being sold at factory prices.

It’s a big night. Girl scouts are talking about their Bronze Award and announcing a new cookie initiative… and the board should decide on liquor licenses.
So many girl scouts are here. They are talking about their bronze award project.
There is a girl scout here with the most beautiful teal hair. #funhaircolorsforthewin.
We are moving around the agenda. Going right to GIRL SCOUT BRONZE PROJECT.
Troop 2012 is made of fifth grade students from St. Joseph Middle School.
For their Take Action Project
They want to improve flower beds at Hackler Park around the Gazebo and sign. They want to put flowers around the sign at Kolb. They want to finish the project in the early summer. They are doing this so the visitors will feel relaxes and have a good time at the parks.
Geocaching birdhouses at Kolb, Hackler and Woodard Park. They will do this in the early summer.
“I don’t think it would be asking too much for us to participate on the mulch and timbers,” Mayor Tami Fruhling-Voges said.
Trustee Roy McCarty said he was happy to see the scouts at the meeting.
They are raising the money for the project through their cookie sales.
They will be selling cookies at Caseys on Feb. 7 from 3-6 p.m. with delivery to houses from 4-6 p.m. and a drive-thru cookie booth at AJ’s station on Feb. 8 from 8 a.m. to 1 pm. with house deliveries from 9 a.m. to noon.
If you want your cookies delivered Kate Clark will be posted a link on the St. Joseph Community Page and we will share it on the Record. Order in advance and get your cookies delivered to you! #HOWCOOLISTHAT #GIRLentrepreneurs
The trustees said the girls did a great job- they did- and that it was a great presentation- it was.
Board presentation: Don’t yell, curse, you got 5 minutes and don’t be repetitive.
Package/pour license time. The mayor is discussing what the village can do, ect. Asking the audience to keep an orderly fashion.
Amy McElroy- I think it is shocking that you are even remotely considering a pour license at a gas station. You are across the street from a library and you are across the street from a church. Adding alcohol in the mix is irresponsible. We are turning ourselves into a trash town.
The girl scouts are all really invested in the speakers. This is awesome.
Lisa Wortman from Jack Flash is presenting now.
Wortman is arguing that it isn’t a moral question, gambling is already allowed. The question is if you want the tax money. “Our gaming rooms throughout Central Illinois speak for themselves.” Wortman saying they can’t apply for a gambling license under the current situation because “it would set up a situation with unlimited drinks and exposure. I can promise you that we do police, we do sting ourselves, that two-drink maximum will be enforced and it will be in the ordinance.”
Wortman saying they talked to the customers after they squashed “rumors and bad information.” Several of those costumers were brave enough to sign a petition despite fear of backlash, Wortman said.
100 people signed a petition saying they wanted a license.
Wortman saying Jack Flash does support the community. Youth baseball, SJO Golf Outing, ect. Basically, they are like every other business in town.
“We are happy to do so,” she said.
Wortman saying the board and mayor need to support businesses and are entrusted with making revenue decisions. Wortman saying there are already video gambling customers here and they need to keep them spending their money in town instead of other towns.
Roch Cain submitted a letter. He decided to attend his son’s game instead of this meeting. #familyfirst
Cain saying he has sold over 51 percent of food since they opened which is a requirement of their liquor license/gambling license.
Cain pointing out that they could have six gambling locations in town. Cain saying video gambling supplements a lot of restaurant’s income and that they took the gamble to open a restaurant.
Denise Hatfield- saying that they talked to customers and they were neutral or supported it. Those who strongly supported it signed it.
Jack Flash refusing to submit the petition for the public record.
Kathy Runk is also against the pour license.
Arveda Lund- has a question regarding a license. If they get a license do they have to pour?
Fruhling-Voges saying it has to be allowed.
Jim Wagner pointing out that a lot of people on the petition are from Homer, Royal and Sidney.
Dan Davis- We represent the citizens of St. Joseph. We are hearing a direct number- how many of those names are directly associated with residents in St. Joseph.
Wagner- I had the chance to talk to several people. I had 25-30 people come in and say they weren’t for it. I didn’t have anyone come in and say they were for it. I didn’t have anyone come in and say they supported the gaming. I talked to some people in our neighborhood who didn’t care either way. Some people brought up the marijuana situation and how we talked about our brand. Does this fit our brand? One of our residents in town recently moved in and they felt St. Joe because the town was a little more close-knit and if they had seen a lot of gaming they would have picked a different town. We may gain gambling revenue but we could be losing it in other areas.
Roy- I have had quite a few approach me and say they wouldn’t go in the stores if they had them. We have a lot of people who oppose it. We have to weigh what the town wants and what’s in the best interest of the town.
Painter- two weeks ago I would have voted no. It is already in our town. I think there are good citizens out there who like to game to go to Rochs. They don’t have to buy any alcohol at all. You talk about people drinking and driving you have more of a situation there than at a gas station.
Wagner- we could have up to five right now- we could have up to 60 machines in the town. You can’t discredit the ones that don’t do it because they could sell out and they could decide to do it.
McElroy- selling open alcohol at a gas station is a shockingly bad message and goes against the brand.
Tami Fruhling-Voges we control what the liquor license would look like. I have hard things about the branding and what our community looks like. Tami talking about how the package pour license would have to have a restriction on what sales are from video gaming and everything else. “You couldn’t include gas.”
Heidi Hewkin-asking what type of alcohol is sold.
Wortman saying only beer will be available.
The petition only had 74 people on it in support. About 4000 people live here. So that’s not … great.
Dan Davis is talking about how much Jack Flash could bring in.
This is kind of an interesting story.
Davis saying he doesn’t want to cause Rochs a loss of revenue. #eatlocal
Fred Sterts- it is opening pandoras box. Roch’s has four machines. There are four or five businesses in town that could get them. Jack Flash, Casey’s, IGA. We go from having four to 24 to 60. When are we going to stop, how many machines are we going to allow.
Here’s a fun fact that my unofficial poll was 72 percent against this license. And there was no “false” information in that poll.
Max- all you are going to do is run people out of your business.
Molly from Peters Drive- talking about there are health issues in this community regarding addiction. Gaming is an addiction. People who want to game are going to find places to game. Protect the community, protect your young and protect your image.
Heidi- discussing what the “single-serve” amount is
Max talking about if they actually need to move forward or if they can table it and discuss it some more. Painter saying the gambling is already here.
Kathy Runk discussing supporting small businesses that are already here.
Todd Woods- “I get it why Jack Flash is looking for gaming. One thing to consider as we are moving along here the minimum wage is increasing and businesses are looking for other ways to make ends meet. I really haven’t made an opinion one way or another. I came here to see what was going on.”
Todd saying it is a good move as minimum wage increases. “That is my two cents.”
Lisa- “The thing I want to share with you all is I am a small business. I am no Caseys or Pilot. We are classy. We are in small towns and we are not in big towns.”
Lisa discussing that the consumption of alcohol is the biggest concern she is hearing and she will be understanding of that. “I am asking for your support so we have another form of income for us and you.”
Jim Wagner making the motion to vote it down. Roy seconds.
Tami Fruhling-Voges voted Yes.
“I tried to keep an open mind. I have my concerns. Max kind of made a statement that triggered the direction I was leaning. When gaming did come into the community I as a trustee didn’t get the opportunity to opt-out.”
Fruhling-Voges – saying when gambling first came she wasn’t given the chance to opt-out or she would have. I am concerned about the branding of the community we do allow it for the restaurants. They are a very small local restaurant if they need help to subsidize the business to make it. It wasn’t an easy decision. I have been tossing around the pros and cons what would be best for the community.
Right now with the information we have- and trying to figure it out what ordinance we would have maybe we need to see what more stipulations we need.
They aren’t moving forward with it.
Lisa discussing that Art Rapp, who isn’t here, would vote yes.
The girl scouts are leaving. #bedtime.
So are the Jack Flash peeps.
BREAKING NEWS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
ORDER YOUR GIRL SCOUT COOKIES HERE FOR DELIVERY
Update on Monroe Street- they are still in court dealing with stuff. The village is committed to enforcing this ordinance.
Talking about goal setting. That’s the meeting where they decide what they are doing the whole year.
They are going to do a Thankful Thursday where the village workers all have lunch with the trustees as a thank you for the work they do.
Major drainage issues- a big portion is going to be taken care of by DD6. They are digging tomorrow.
“We need to start looking at the big picture,” Tami Fruhling-Voges said.

Meise challenging Jackson for Juvenile Court judge seat
Michael Meise, teacher and assistant choral director at Dickson County High School, is challenging Judge Andrew Jackson for Juvenile Court judge. Jackson was appointed to the position when it was first created in 1981.
Jackson has run opposed for four eight-year terms but not without incident. Jackson has received three reprimands from the Tennessee Court of the Judiciary.
Meise, who got his law degree in 2007 and has been in practice in some capacity since, said he had been mulling a run for some time.
“It’s something that I have thought about for several years,” said Meise, who was formerly president of the Dickson County Democratic Party. “I feel that with my background in education as well as law, I feel like I could do some good.”
Meise worked for the 23rd Judicial District Public Defender before returning to teaching part-time at Dickson County High School.
“I did some juvenile practice appointments out of Hickman County and some in Perry County,” Meise added. “I am sure I have lots to learn but what I think I bring to the table is 30 years of teaching experience and dealing with kids.”
