Alix Dufresne + Marc Béland
Hidden Paradise
- "Jour de fête" 15$
- Talkback with the artists
- English surtitles
«Today, when you wait for the bus at -20°, it is the consequence of tax evasion.»
- Alain Deneault
On February 9, 2015, economist and philosopher Alain Deneault was interviewed by Marie-France Bazzo at Radio-Canada. In a clear and straightforward manner, he explained the repercussions of tax evasion on society, both nationally and internationally. None other than Deneault summarizes so vividly the correlation between tax evasion as it is supported by our political institutions, and the direct consequences that ensue in our daily lives.
Alix Dufresne and Marc Béland interpret the verbatim account of the interview to highlight how tax evasion affects us daily, in a playful and profane choreography. On the fringe of documentary theatre, dance, and journalistic fiction, Hidden Paradise confronts theatre with the harshness of reality and current issues.
Director Alix Dufresne's practice highlights sensorial experience woven with physicality and a finely crafted use of language. Her practice looks at real subjects, such current affairs, in order to stimulate discussions around off-shore tax havens or stories of an adolescent paradise lost, as in her play La déesse des mouches à feu.
For more than 40 years, actor and director Marc Béland has been renowned for his role in creating new work as well as in performing classic plays. Concerned with the state of the planet and society, his boundless inspiration has turned to political subjects in an artistic output that eschews fiction.
(only available in french)
Alain Deneault, aujourd'hui directeur de programme au Collège international de philosophie (Paris), est l'auteur d'essais et de rapports sur les paradis fiscaux et le problème politique qu'ils représentent. Les titres Offshore, Paradis fiscaux: la filière canadienne, Des Solutions à notre portée et Une escroquerie légalisée en font partie. Il réside aujourd'hui dans la Péninsule acadienne.
In 2013, Dufresne and Béland joined forces in their shared desire to respond to the alarm bells being rung by scientists, intellectuals, and contemporary sociologists in Québec media. The result is a performative language created in dialogue between political subjects and bodily endurance, set to a sonic backdrop selected from real life.
Alix Dufresne and Marc Béland employ artistic methods from their shared theatre praxes to respond with raw, instinctive urgency to present-day concerns, alarming realities brought to public attention by voices of dissent. They adapt texts from news media (transcripts, lecture recordings, interviews, etc.) in a dramaturgical treatment that eschews fiction. In so doing, they aspire to respond to creeping apathy with works of art that lead the spectator to take a position on these issues and simultaneously react to the "how" of their artistic practice, which is characterized by the use of "non-theatrical" texts, disturbing silences, excessive repetition of words and movements, absurd gestures, breaking the fourth wall, audience participation, and in-situ performance in urban spaces. In using the stage as a tool for protest and allowing media discourse to be heard through the prism of a new-found emotional and instinctive settings, they hope to lead audiences to imagine new frontiers for the issues presented that transcend the subjects at hand.

My Learnings from Make Waves – WordCamp San Diego
I attended my first Make Waves WordCamp in San Diego a few weeks ago and it was awesome – so great to meet others with the same passion for learning, sharing and improving their wordpress skill set.
Here are some of my keynotes:
Lisa Ghisolf (@gizmodesign) talked about creating a site structure for the future with a focus on the personas. She also highlighted the importance of good content – it must be up-to-date, user-centric, useful and u-findable. She also showed examples of websites with different ways to interest the user – from mega menus at Volkswagen, to Porsche showing pictures of each style of car, to a Charter School approaching students, parents, and teachers with their own menu in different colors for easy navigation. Check out Gizmo-design.com if you want to learn more from Lisa.
Deena Mayne (@DeenaMayne) talked about Zen & the Art of WordPress with the focus on: do less, think about what is necessary, put more space between things – just because there is so many free options we don't need to add them all our websites. Deena highlighted that maybe the special features for examples fade in/outs, animations, sliders can distract the user and the website's purpose. I have to agree either slow down the sliders so the user have time to read/navigate or scale down to just one picture. If you want to see Deena's presentation click here.
I was looking forward to hear Adam Silver (@heyadamsilver) showing "page builders' especially the last piece where he would talk about Divi, but Adam ran out of time, so I will catch up on his "kitchensink" blog instead. You can follow him here: http://kitchensinkwp.com/ (and I will keep learning by doing using Divi myself).
Sarah Benoit (@SarahDBenoit) talked about how to build websites that delight, engage and convert. Sarah talked about how to rethink the choice of web colors, because color creates emotion and emotion creates action. how brighter warmer colors energize people and darker cool shades are more relaxing and tranquil. Sarah also talked a lot about UX design and the core of UX is to ensure that the user find value in what you are providing to them – she shared Peter Morville's user experience honeycomb:
Nile Flores (@blondishnet) talked about "Click this! Subscribe today! – All about calls to action" and what to do and what not to do. I was still surprises of some of the facts Nile shared for example:
- 87% B2B don't do anything to make their 'contact us' option stand out
- 82% don't bother to even list their social media profiles
- 68% do not show an email address on the home page
If I can't find contact information e.g. how to contact, email or call a service I will 'go' somewhere else – this is minimal information you must have.
I also learned about A/B testing where you can test two different buttons and test how which scenario gets most impressions – the example was Amazon "one-click buy" button – something I need to test in the future. A lot of website already uses the A/B testing to learn from visitor behaviors and also to increase their conversion rate.
I'm looking forward to learn more from the WordPress Community and attending more word camps in the future.

UNC's Mirror upholds sacred obligation
August 16, 2004
ABOUT FOUR MONTHS ago, battle lines were drawn between the University of Northern Colorado's campus newspaper, The Mirror, and the student government. Now, at least one battle has been won by our paper, but a much larger war still blazes on. What saddens me as Mirror editor is that none of it should have happened.
Earlier this year, Mirror reporters, including myself, were blocked by the Student Representative Council from attending certain closed meetings. We now know that some of those meetings were held to discuss simple office procedures, while others had much more severe consequences to the student population.
The council discussed and voted for a new member to join the group in early February. Council members did not allow the students, whom they serve, to hear the process and discussions that went into selecting a representative who was not approved by the students themselves, as the position became vacant after the council's election time. The council also held a closed and illegal meeting in November. During that time, they discussed the possible consequences for a former council member who was arrested for drunken driving.
All of these instances point to an underlying issue — the student leaders needed to be accountable to the students, and they were not. Information was hidden to save face, and in the process they harmed the students at UNC.
Now, three Mirror editors, including myself, have effectively won a lawsuit filed against the council in late April. The council now must comply with Colorado law and make every piece of public information available to anyone who wants it.
It's truly a victory for the students more than for us at the newspaper. By keeping future council members legally accountable for their actions, the students will have a better understanding of the council. And while some have criticized our actions as picking on the council, I believe that all media has the inherent responsibility and obligation to hold our leaders accountable to the public. It should not matter if it is a university student council or the president of the United States. The Mirror has never had an agenda other than to uphold that sacred obligation.
Recommended Stories For You
But, while the lawsuit has been settled out of court, there remains yet another conflict between our organizations. During the time we were filing our lawsuit, the council was required to vote on how much student-fee funding The Mirror should receive toward our printing costs. The council, ultimately, voted to cut our funding dramatically while giving itself an increase.
There was little argument, little discussion and no reason to approve such a cut. The only logical explanation is that our funds were cut because of our previous coverage of the council's actions. In retaliation alone, the council took a last swing at the newspaper.
Again, editors at The Mirror have filed a lawsuit. This time, the suit names the board of trustees at UNC for approving the council's unlawful decision to slice our funds based on our editorial content. The case is pending in federal court.
Ultimately, The Mirror is faced with a classic David-vs.-Goliath scenario. As a small newspaper we are trying to monitor our university's leaders, while protecting our own rights at the same time.
I only regret that the leaders — student and professional alike — have not taken the time to simply talk with us about these important legal and ethical issues before litigation. And, I only hope that truth and rectitude can still prevail in our world.
The Mirror and I will continue to fight for the rights of the students, and for our own.
Heath Urie is a senior journalism and mass communications major attending the University of Northern Colorado. He is currently the editor in chief of the campus newspaper, The Mirror.

Collider recently spoke with actress Deborah Ann Woll about her work on PUNISHER and also asked her a few questions about what she'd like to see for Karen Page in DAREDEVIL Season 3.
On Karen Page having agency in her own story:
"That was true, at the very beginning, and that's the kind of thing that's true with every character. In the beginning of a show, as an actor, I don't have a lot of say, in terms of storyline and what they want to do with [my character], at least in my position, in my career. So, for me, it is within the acting. How do I make every moment active and make choices that make her interesting and complex? And then, as the years have gone on and you start to know your character better than some of the writers and directors do, you get a little bit more of a world in which you can say, "I think it would be really great, if this year, her fate wasn't determined by the boys," or that kind of thing. You have to pick your battles and make sure that you've earned the right to talk about that."
On if Karen Page is a hero:
"Karen does that, too. She screws up her own life, and the lives of people around her, as well. You can't aspire to have heightened senses, whereas you can aspire to tell the truth, every single second, and you can aspire to be dogged and just never let anything be enough, never give in, and never give up. That's the kind of person that Karen is, and I think that's what makes her a valuable role model. You can actually become Karen Page. It would be very hard to become Daredevil."

RealStreetRadio – Chicago's Verbal Kent (of Ugly Heroes) and Ghana MC Recognize Ali have joined lyrical forces to form Dueling Experts.
To introduce their latest venture, the duo has dropped an appropriately titled single called "The Dueling Experts," which is taken from their forthcoming self-titled album produced by Lord Beatjitzu.
"Dueling Experts is that raw unadulterated hardcore boom bap" Recognize Ali tells RealStreetRadio.
Verbal Kent adds, "I had a treasure trove of beats from legendary Lo-Fi beat maker Lord Beatjizu that I needed to put too use; and sonically, me and Ali were right there. The beats sound like they were dropped on the floor, almost beta like quality while at the same time exemplifying that '90s RZA peak."
The self-titled collaborative album is expected to arrive on January 31 Mello Music Group. Until then, check out "The Dueling Experts" above, cover art below and pre-order the project here.

Onofrio Law is uniquely positioned to provide the best customer service possible by not taking on too many clients. That's right. We are selective about our clients. We aren't trying to become a huge firm. In fact, we like our size, believing that bigger isn't always better. Our clients think so too.
Marta Knittel Yogurt Stop
If you're reading this, it's your lucky day! Onofrio Law was our answer to trademarking. When we opened Yogurt Stop in West Hollywood eight years ago, we were incredibly fortunate to have Dara Onofrio handling our trademarking needs. She is highly professional and a leader in her field yet takes her time explaining the process and keeping us up to date. She made us feel as though every question we asked was of great importance. No task is too small for her or too large.
Linda Oldham L-7 Designs
Dara Onofrio and the staff from Onofrio Law have been invaluable in helping us with our business. We have been associated with them for many years now and have done numerous transactions, and have always been entirely pleased. It is always a comfort to know that Dara and her exceptional team are working with us in whatever way we need. Dara has become a close and invaluable associate over the years and will continue to be in the future.
Sally Faison Moms the Word
We have used Onofrio law for several trademark issues. Dara was great at explaining clearly all the pros and cons, and re-explaining at each next step. We were notified at each step where we were in the process. I trust Dara completely, was able to leave it all in her hands, letting me get on with the many other tasks before me, knowing my issues were being capably managed.
Charles La-Salle City Gym Boys
Onofrio Law is one of the reasons why City Gym Boys is around and will continue to succeed in years to come. Dara's work goes far beyond the call of duty, and City Gym Boys is extremely grateful for that. As our patent attorney, Dara has secured the City Gym Boys trademark in the U.S. and around the world. We are all very fortunate to have Dara and Onofrio Law on our team, and we hope this positive relationship will continue in the future.

Being a former cardiac patient, Suruj Prasad from Fiji was suggested to have a revision CABG surgery when he consulted his doctor in Fiji for a recent chest pain. Thereafter, accompanied by his wife, he travelled to India for his surgery. Here, Prasad shares how his medical tour experience has been and how wrongly his condition was diagnosed earlier:
Why was a revision CABG suggested to you?
I have had a CABG surgery done in New Zealand on November, 2004 for my cardiac blockages. It is after about 13 years that I was again experiencing chest pain. The doctor in Fiji told me that though an angiogram is necessary, it is risky because of my age and suggested a revision CABG surgery. It is quite unnerving when you are 62-years-old and start having symptoms for which you have already undergone a major surgery. I didn't want to take any chances and looked for the best hospitals in cardiology and that is when I came across Vaidam Health.
Where did you have your treatment in India?
I went to Fortis Hospital, Noida where Dr. Vaibhav Mishra performed an angiogram and surprisingly there was no risk in it. Furthermore, the good news is that a revision CABG was not required. The diagnosis of Dr. Mishra came as a relief to me.
How was your overall experience at Fortis Hospital?
It has been great. I stayed in the hospital for four days and not for a moment did I feel any lack of care. I also had my neurology check –up done at the hospital. The doctors, the patient care team and all the staffs are organized, dedicated and amiable. Fortis Hospital itself has all the modern facilities and infrastructure for any medical specialty so I didn't have to worry about the quality of their treatment and completely relied on them.
How did you consult Fortis Hospital?
After I received a call from Vaidam, my case manager helped me out with hospital and doctor options and cost. He had also sent me quotes from the doctor. So, I knew about the hospital, the doctor and the treatment charges and accordingly I chose Fortis Hospital for my treatment. Thereafter, an appointment was duly made with the doctor before my arrival in India.
In what other ways did you receive Vaidam's assistance?
In this one month's medical trip to India, I have realized that I wouldn't have got the assistance and care I received from Vaidam, anywhere else. From arranging accommodation and pick up from the airport to follow-ups till the end, they have been there for us always. So, I knew that if I face any problem in the country I would just have to call them and they would definitely help me out. I am grateful to them for their constant support and assistance.

Hannibal; horror thriller, USA, 2001; D: Ridley Scott, S: Anthony Hopkins, Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Ray Liotta, Giancarlo Giannini
Hannibal Lecter is still on the loose but also persecuted by Mason Verger, a rich man who was left mutilated and paralyzed as one of his victims. Meanwile, FBI agent Clarice Starling watches as her career is slipping down the drain after a failed stakeout where she shot Evelda, a drug dealer, while she was holding a baby. Hannibal is sending her letters from which the police figures he is hiding on Italian territory. There a policeman tries to capture him alone, but he is brutally killed. Hanibal then goes back to the USA, while Verger and agent Paul deliver falsified love letters from Hannibal to the head of FBI, apparently found in Clarice's office. She gets suspended. Verger manages to catch Hannibal, but just as he is about to be fed to a herd of wild hogs, Clarice is able to save him. Verger gets killed by the hogs himself, while Hannibal eats Paul's brain. Clarice is let free.
One decade after the critically acclaimed thriller "The Silence of the Lambs" (and 15 years after it's prequel "Manhunter"), a commercial sequel was filmed, "Hannibal", but a one that has almost no inspiration. Instead of having a subtle style, like Mann's excellent "Manhunter", the only thing this film contains is dumbing violence in frenzy orchestration of the once talented Ridley Scott, while Jodie Foster was wise enough to reject having a part in this disaster after reading the screenplay which showed madness of everyone involved. The whole story is an inconsistent mambo jumbo thriller, featuring such gruesome scenes as the mutilated face of Mason Verger (Gary Oldman) who was drugged by Hannibal Lecter and forced to cut his own skin with glass, and who ends up eaten alive by a horde of wild hogs. In another scene, Lecter kills a cop by hanging him and slicing his intestine open, while he separates the upper part of Paul's skull and eats his brain. Such splatter violence would probably appeal to some distorted dictators and psychopaths, but a large number of demanding audience will gladly forget this psycho garbage. Also, it's rather unconvincing that Anthony Hopkins, then a 65-year old, would turn out to be such an invincible and powerful opponent. True, there is something slightly romantic in Lecter's caring relationship with Clarice, and he could symbolically pass as a dark version of an avenging angel or as an allegory of the masses obsession with violence, the cinematography is nice, but all of that is simply not important when everything is gone downhill like here. In the end, it's simply a bad film.

Kayu manis
(Cinnamomum zeylanicum )
Origin: Cinnamomum zeylanicum originates from the island Sri Lanka
(formerly called Ceylon)
Used plant part: Stem bark.
Sensoric quality: Strongly aromatic, sweet, pleasant, warm and but
hardly bitter or adstringent.
Use: Since Ceylon cinnamon is native in South Asia, it is not
surprising that the cuisines of Sri Lanka and India make heavy use
of it. It is also widely in use for flavouring tea.
Although cinnamon was very popular in Europe in the 16.th to 18.th
centuries, is importance is now rather shrunken: the main
application for cinnamon in Western cooking are several kinds of
desserts; stewed fruits, for instance, are usually flavoured with a
mixture of cloves and cinnamon. Cinnamon is, however, only rarely
tried for spicy dishes.
In most countries, powdered cinnamon is preferred. The powder should
be added shortly before serving, as it becomes slightly bitter after
some time of cooking
The so-called cinnamon buds are the unripe fruits harvested shortly
after the blossom; in appearance, they are similar to cloves. These
buds are less aromatic than the bark; their odour is, however,
rather interesting: mild, pure and sweet. to release their
fragrance, they must be finely ground.

KSL – Police are crediting two employees and a customer at a in South Salt Lake, Utah Taco Bell with saving an infant from danger in the drive-thru line on Monday.
South Salt Lake police spokesman Gary Keller said two employees noticed a car holding up the drive-thru line around 7:30 p.m.
"They went to investigate the situation and found an intoxicated male that had passed out in the drive-thru with a 9-month-old infant in the vehicle," Keller said.
The driver of the 2008 BMW sedan stopped his vehicle before reaching the drive-thru window and blocked the lane for a considerable amount of time, police said.
Two Taco Bell employees became concerned and went out to the vehicle. That's when the employees discovered the driver of the vehicle was slumped over the steering wheel and was initially unresponsive.
"They reported a strong smell of alcohol," Keller said.

Badger vaccination restarts one year on
The Wildlife Trusts are delighted to announce that a scheme to vaccinate badgers against bovine tuberculosis (bTB) is now underway again, one year after vaccine supplies dried up. In December 2015, the World Health Organization announced that there was a global shortage of TB vaccine for humans. This meant that The Wildlife Trusts had to suspend their badger vaccination programmes during 2016.
Now a new supply of vaccine has been obtained by Derbyshire Wildlife Trust following several months negotiating supplies and obtaining permission from the Veterinary Medicines Directorate to import the InterVax TB vaccine. Derbyshire Wildlife Trust Chair and veterinary surgeon, Dr Sue Mayer, who secured the vaccine from a Canadian company has also been training twelve dedicated volunteers in how to use the new vaccine delivery system. Thirty badgers have already been successfully vaccinated, including twelve badger cubs, and the next round of vaccinations is due to start on Thursday 6th July. Vaccine from the same source was used to successfully vaccinate badgers in the Republic of Ireland in 2016.
Dr Mayer says: "Derbyshire Wildlife Trust is delighted to be leading the way across the country and vaccinating badgers against TB in 2017. UNICEF now say all country needs for human TB vaccine can be met so we wanted to start vaccinating badgers as soon as we could. Vaccination is a better solution than culling which research indicates can spread the disease further. It's also cheaper and avoids the indiscriminate killing of healthy animals."
Derbyshire Wildlife Trust has been carrying out the badger vaccination programme across Derbyshire since 2014 – working with farmers and landowners and showing that a successful programme of badger vaccination can be achieved in partnership with the help of dozens of trained volunteers. DWT's badger vaccination programme has been developed in close partnership with the National Trust, National Farmers Union (NFU), Derbyshire's Badger Groups and the Country Land and Business Association (CLA).
The Trust's pioneering approach to acquiring a vaccine has allowed other vaccination programmes across the country to restart, including those of Chester Zoo, other badger groups, Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust and Berkshire, Buckinghamshire & Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust (BBOWT).
Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust have also obtained doses of the InterVax vaccine and will begin vaccinating badgers on a large area on the Nottinghamshire/Leicestershire border imminently. Working with local landowners, they have now surveyed around 60 farms, over an area of more than 50km2. Traps have been placed out on participating farms with the help of 40 volunteers in order to target badgers from around 20 active setts. Vaccination will continue until Autumn and will build on previous work which began in 2015 to build TB immunity in Nottinghamshire's badgers.
BBOWT's badger vaccination programme is resuming in early July, and will continue through the remainder of the vaccination season, which runs until November. Badgers will be trapped and vaccinated in a 15km2 project area around their nature reserve at Greenham Common in West Berkshire, before the team moves to the nature reserves in west Oxfordshire.
Defra is committed to securing vaccine for badger vaccination programmes in 2018 and Trusts will be discussing this renewed support this summer.

A NORMAL man cannot stay for 48 hours without sex, says Southern Province minister Edify Hamukale.
And Hamukale says the government in future needs to consider adopting shift work for public workers so as to reduce traffic congestion.
Meanwhile, Livingstone Mayor Eugene Mapuwo says there is too much corruption in Zambia.
Addressing the Zambia Institute of Planners (ZIP) 3rd National Conference at Chrismar Hotel on Wednesday, Hamukale said he agreed with the planners' complaints against random transfers by government saying it affected children's education and couples' marital interests.
"Even my office receives cases of anxiety and stress amongst those that have been transferred, especially for men. Truthfully speaking, you can't stay without sex for 48 hours, this is biological, this is biological truth. I mean let us not pretend. Every 48 hours by nature, a normal man must have sex, it's all true, and now you separate him from a wife for I don't know…first of all distance wise say 400 kilometres, and then they (couples) meet once in a month, it is costly to visit the wife and the wife spends a lot of money to visit him. It is very expensive," Hamukale said.
"In that one month divide 48 hours, you can imagine the temptations for him to find an acting wife, just acting in her position. These are the challenges; honestly, this is really negatively co-related with efforts to combat HIV/AIDS because when couples are separated, chances are high that when the guy is under pressure (laughs) sampling procedures may not be observed. This really risks people to acquiring HIV/AIDS. We don't want to lose quality manpower."
He further joked that the ZIP was laden with very beautiful women.
Hamukale urged ZIP to plan for the construction of more high-rise structures and underground car parking spaces.
"Some government departments that are not very sensitive can work at night, you would have distributed the challenges of car congestion, one kick, believe me because at any given time you will be seeing 33 per cent [reduction in congestion] of any given geographical area, be it Choma…work with the Ministry of Infrastructure, let's plan for overhead roads. An underground parking lot, tall buildings, shifts, equals zero congestion. That is my equation," he said.
Hamukale also urged the planners to generate new maps of the new districts as they still appeared under old zones.
And Mapuwo said there was need to re-plan some residential compounds in Zambia such as Zecco in Livingstone, Misisi, and Kanyama in Lusaka.
"If a town is not looking good it means you as a planner you have a lot of work to do. You have a duty to make this country what it must be…investors who can erase the entire compound, give them keys, they will leave a lot of land for you to re-plan…it must not just be work as usual. In Zambia we have a lot of brains…one key thing I have noticed, what I have seen is that there is a lot of corruption. If we don't stamp out corruption then all the plans we have will be futile. We need good towns," Mapuwo said.
ZIP president Cooper Chibomba said planners who had been in service for over 20 years have only been more visible in the last three years.
He said Zambia could not develop without giving planners their rightful place in the country.
"We are here to take back our space," said Chibomba.

Kansas Gubernatorial Candidate, Kris Kobach recently scored some serious body blows against the "Everything Offends Me Crowd" during a recent parade. He had them running for their safe spaces, shielding their children, and calling in their therapists for an emergency session.
To state that the People Always Nauseatingly Scared In Every Situation (PANSIES) were triggered would be a monumental understatement. To them, Kris's offense was worse than the recoil of an AR-15, scarier than a Trump second term, more diabolical than the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance, and more offensive than Mike Pence saying "God bless you" after a sneeze.
What could possibly be so offensive, you ask?
Did he wear garments representing sex anatomy? Did he yell profanities at the crowd? Did he threaten to kill law enforcement? Did he engage in simulated sex acts? Oh, wait, wrong parade. Here's a photo of his offensive act:
Yep, that's right. He rode around in a flag-themed Jeep CJ-5 with a plastic machine gun replica mounted on the vehicle, which incidentally, was unmanned. To clarify for PANSIES, replica means fake and unmanned means that no one was standing behind it pretending to aim it at parade bystanders.
The resulting diatribe from the Left was laughable. For starters, they are all suddenly experts on the U.S. Flag Code.
They cried out things like, "A flag painted Jeep? ARE YOU NUTS???" on Kobach's Facebook page. Other comments weren't appropriate to share.
Kris had the last laugh when one of his critics suggested he wasn't a true patriot because he had not served in the military. Kris's response was epic.
"I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at the age of 11. During high school, I had hoped that there would be some way that I could apply to West Point in spite of my diabetes. However, I spoke to a U.S. Army recruiter; and he informed me that there were no exceptions to the prohibition against diabetics serving in the military. Although I was unable to serve in the U.S. military because of my physical disability, I served my country as Counsel to the U.S. Attorney General under A.G. John Ashcroft. I played a central role in developing the post 9-11 programs to block terrorists from exploiting loopholes in our immigration system."
Graduating with honors from Harvard, a doctorate from Oxford, and a law degree from Yale, Kris could be making a lot more money outside of public service, but that is the life he has chosen. He is currently the Kansas Secretary of State and is running for governor. Anyone who gets the Left worked up this much is definitely worth keeping an eye on.
In the end, we should all be thankful that Kobach supporter Ted Nugent wasn't along for the ride, playing the National Anthem from the back of the Jeep. We'd still be cleaning up the exploded heads.

Maria Dahvana Headley with Nicola Griffith
This month brings us at least two audacious, brilliantly accomplished recastings of old stories writ anew; one is Preti Taneja's rendering of King Lear to present-day India in We That Are Young (see September 24). The other is Maria Dahvana Headley's staggering retelling of Beowulf to present-day suburbia here in the U.S., in her dazzling new novel, The Mere Wife (MCD/Farrar, Straus & Giroux). Maria Dahvana Headley, who used to call Seattle home, will be joined in conversation here this evening by Nicola Griffith, author most recently of So Lucky, and prior to that, Hild.
"[A] stunner: a darkly electric reinterpretation of Beowulf that upends its Old English framework to comment on the nature of heroes and how we 'other' those different from ourselves... A strange tale told with sharp poetic imagery and mythic fervor." —Booklist.
"The Mere Wife is an astonishing reinterpretation of Beowulf: Beowulf in suburbia—epic, operatic, and razor-sharp, a story not of a thick-thewed thegn, but of women at war, as wives and warriors, mothers and matriarchs. Their chosen weapons are as likely to be swords as public relations, and they wield both fearlessly. They rule, and they fight." —Nicola Griffith.
Co-presented with THE SEATTLE PUBLIC LIBRARY. Free admission is on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Goldendoodle, a dog of mixed race, resulting from the mix between the popular Golden Retriever and the adorable Poodles.
The name Goldendoodle was created in 1992 by combining "Golden", Golden Retriever, and "Doodle" as in Labradoodle. This beautiful puppy was conceived in the United States and Australia. His elegant demeanor made the English baptize him as "the design dog".
The sociable character of this nice animal made it later became the ideal companion for adults and children.
He is usually raised to be a companion dog to the family. Some are bred and selected for careers in the service of humans such as guide dogs, therapy dogs and other types of assistance dogs.
Characteristics of Goldendoodle
Height: Its size usually includes standard, medium, and miniature. The females are usually five centimeters smaller than the males. In as much, the female's measure between 55 - 57 centimeters and the males 60 to 63.
Weight: Standard: 45 pounds or more, to adulthood. Medium: 30-45 pounds in adulthood. Miniature: 15-30 pounds in adulthood.
Layer: different colors, black, beige and chocolate, although the most common are cream and gold. His hair is long, thick and curly.
Average life: 15 years
Character: Sociable, sweet and affectionate, faithful, loyal and obedient, which makes them easy to education if they receive good training.
Relationship with children: very good.
Relationship with other dogs: very good.
The behavior of the Goldendoodle
This breed is usually friendly and sociable, they are dogs that enjoy the company of humans, as well as other pets. They present behavior problems if they remain alone for a long time since human contact is fundamental.
This race has a great desire to be close to its owner and to please them, they are loyal, faithful, attached, affectionate, and it is very easy to train them. This breed is ideal for any type of home since they are extremely nice dogs.
In the Goldendoodle we find a very interesting combination, they have the affectionate and peaceful nature of the golden retriever and the wavy style of the poodle. It is an ideal companion, especially for those homes that are full of energy and joy.
This dog has a simple and very effective socialization process, it is in its essence a good friend. They can be farm dogs or city dogs. Recently they have been incorporated as therapy and help dogs.
How to care for my Goldendoodle
This breed does not need particular care. You just have to pay attention to certain aspects of your hygiene and also the proper care that must be taken to take care of your health and conserve your energy and happy spirit for many.
You can brush once a week, for this we must use a brush and suitable comb. In the molting periods, you can brush it more often to eliminate all that dead hair and favor the growth of the new one. The molting periods, you can brush it more often to eliminate all that dead hair and favor the growth of the new one.
On the other hand, washing should not be done very often, since most shampoos weaken the dog's hair. If the dog is not very dirty it would be enough to brush it dry so that the hair recovers all its shine. And in the case of bathing, it is advisable not to do it more than once a month.
The ears if they need a weekly review, where we will clean the auditory pavilion with simple cotton impregnated in saline.
The teeth of the dog usually accumulate tartar, specifically at the base of the tooth. We can avoid it to a great extent by feeding it with a certain frequency of dry food, and in the case of having a larger scale, it would be necessary to go to the veterinarian.
And finally the eyes, we must observe that they are not red or show any secretion that may indicate the presence of conjunctivitis or other types of ocular infections.
In general, during all this long life in dog terms, the Goldendoodle enjoys a good state of health, and is not associated with specific hereditary or congenital problems, except that they may suffer some minor pathologies that affect their heart, infections in the eye areas and injuries related to hygiene, and musculoskeletal problems related to age.
It is recommended to go to the veterinarian at least twice a year or every time we feel that the dog is sick.
Likewise, the follow-up by the specialist will allow to keep up to date his vaccination schedule and his deworming both external and internal.
How to train a Goldendoodle
Goldendoodles are easy to train, but require early socialization to avoid shyness.
Start with the basic orders applied to every dog. Here I leave you.
Basic orders that you can teach at home to a Goldendoodle puppy
First order "sit". Attract your dog with a prize in your hand. Show him the prize, but do not let him grab it. Instead, put it right in front of your nose. Once you have your attention, raise the prize so that the dog is forced to raise its nose. Form a backward arch with the prize so that when you follow it, your natural reaction is to sit down. As you begin to move to a sitting position, firmly say "sit down" and give the prize. Over time, your dog will respond to "sit" alone, without drawing the prize bow. Once you do it regularly, skip the prize. This creates uncertainty in the dog's mind so that he does not take the prize for granted, but work harder for it.
Second order "still". Your dog should be able to follow the order to sit down before you teach him the order to sit still. Make your dog sit in a sitting position. Raise a hand as if you were holding someone and say "still" with a firm voice. Your dog could do it for only a second or two, but you should praise him and keep practicing. Over time, you can practice walking away from your dog while it is still.
Third order "come". If the dog approaches you, say "come". If not, bring it closer to a prize. As he approaches you, repeat "come" and then give him a prize. Give your dog time to complete the order. If your dog takes a long time to come, do not scold or hook the strap and make it go. Your dog will associate the call order with the punishment. Once your dog is at your side, instead of going straight home, give him his favorite toy and let him play a leash for a minute or two. In that way, it does not link withdrawal with punishment or the end of entertainment.
Consider this too ...
Make frequent but brief training sessions with puppies. Remember that your puppy has a short attention span, so several 5-minute sessions spaced throughout the day are better for a puppy of 8 to 10 weeks than a long session. Gradually increase the duration of the training session as your concentration and endurance improve.
In relation to the dog's needs, we recommend.
Install a room for puppies in which the dog will sleep and eat, instead of letting it wander around the house. Letting him roam around your house will make training more difficult since it will be harder to keep track of what he is doing. Take the puppy directly to the place you intend to use as a bath. Put it in place and if the dog "leaves", give him lots of praise, the idea is that the dog associates going to the bathroom in that place with a lot of praise. This makes it worthwhile for the dog to keep its bodily functions in exchange for worship.
Toilet training does not happen instantly and you need to stick to it. Training requires the puppy to learn where it should go and where it should not go. When the dog shows the first signs of wanting to go to the bathroom, such as sniffing with great concentration or snuggling in objects, pick it up and take it to the place you chose for the bathroom. Little by little, I will learn.
And finally, I remind you again that you go to the vet since he will help you when you have any questions about your dog.

News Stories
Cold War Seems Revived Over Syria and North Korea
The Cold War seems revived and simmering, with potential for the first direct clash of air forces between the U.S. and Russia since Vietnam a half-century ago and more so Korea in the early Fifties.
The U.S. fired 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles from two destroyers onto the Shayrat Air Base in western Syria last Thursday. This aerial attack reportedly destroyed 20 Russian-built Syrian Mig-23 fighter jets, a warehouse, and radar but avoided the sarin gas stockpile to avoid poisoning people in the area.
The naval limited air strike from the eastern Mediterranean signals not only Syria but North Korea that it also could get attacked by the U.S. or allies over its own aggressions. This week, U.S. warships are heading toward the Korean Peninsula.
Show of force can deter and prevent having to use it. The U.S. military strike last Thursday — 77 days into Trump's administration — warns several aggressive and rogue statues and their superpower backers that if they cross certain lines then the U.S. will retaliate with force and stronger action for any further offenses.
Gone are "days of walking all over the U.S., in eight years under Obama — knowing the U.S. will do nothing," syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer said on Fox Monday.
Pres. Trump cited "progress in his talks with Chinese Pres. Xi Jinping in Florida last week, including as the air strike hit Syria. The U.S. hopes China prompts its ally North Korea to dismantle its hell-bent nuclear weapon and missile programs. North Korea mostly trades with economic superpower China. China said in February it will halt all coal imports from North Korea. China has punished South Korean companies, over allied missile defenses there.
North Korea's nuclear threat spirals. The rogue communist nation recently tested missiles aimed at Japan, and longer-range ones. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson said North Korea has made recent, "significant advances in delivery systems" such as fueling, for intercontinental missiles reaching the U.S. He said these systems get alarming once "perfected" — presumably prompting the U.S. to attack to take out that capability.
Dictator Kim Jong-un, 33, who reportedly aspires to take over South Korea and be King of Korea, is deemed crazy enough to start a mutually-destructive atomic war. Perhaps to avoid backing Kim into a corner, Tillerson said the main goal is not to change regimes in North Korea. But he vowed nations posing a "threat to others" can expect a punitive U.S. "response."
Local congressman Mark Meadows (R-11th Dist.), a House Foreign Affairs Committee member, told The Tribune that "we've had discussions with some of the administration officials on North Korea. Their provocative matter in tone and action has everyone on higher alert. We go to bed worrying what their actions might lead to not today, but in the future. As for a pre-emptive strike, we want to make sure any military options on the table do not present a threat to the U.S."
To Russia Without Love
Russia is on the diplomatic menu this week. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is in Moscow, to meet counterpart Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov. Those two met in mid-February, at the G20 economic summit. Lavrov is a downgrade. Tillerson was to meet with Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin.
But on Monday, Putin said "nyet" to that, in anger at the U.S. aerial strike last Thursday. Russia has been Syria's main arms supplier and ally, since the Ba'ath Party clutched party in 1954.
Russia now vows to improve Syrian air defense against any further U.S. attack and even respond with "force." Further, Russia suspended its pact with the U.S. to share Syrian airspace to fight ISIS Islamic extremist terrorists. Fighting ISIS together was the greatest common interest Trump had pointed to for the two superpowers.
More than ever the U.S. hopes to distance Putin from Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, for Russia to better contain Assad and prevent Assad's forces from further gassing rebel citizens in a brutal, seven-year civil war that has claimed lives of an estimated 450,000 civilians.
Tillerson cited three chemical attacks by Syria in late March and early April as the final straw, prompting U.S. intervention starting with the air strike. Most notably, Syrians on April 4 struck the northern Syrian village of Khan Sheikhoun.
Video shows villagers there gasping for air, and foaming at the mouth — from what many conclude is the banned nerve agent sarin. That gas attack killed at least 85 people including 27 children and sickened hundreds, according to Turkish sources. Moscow officials claimed gas spread after bombs hit insurgents' chemical weapons warehouse; allied sources dismiss this claim.
Pres. Trump told the world Thursday he is determined to squelch the "slaughter and bloodshed" in Syria. He lashed out at the "horrific" gassing. "Using a deadly nerve agent, Assad choked out the lives of men, women and children. It was a slow and brutal death for so many. Even beautiful babies were cruelly murdered, in this very barbaric attack. No child of God shall ever suffer such horror."
Assad, 51, like Iraq's Saddam Hussein before him faces U.S. might. Tillerson said he wants allies to back a "political process, that would lead to Assad leaving." First up, though, is to "defeat ISIS within Syria, to stabilize the Syrian country, and to avoid further civil war."
Going forward, many global analysts figure that to avoid greater U.S. intervention, Assad may cease using chemical weapons — but will persist with conventional warfare to thwart rebels, and remain in power. Conceivably, the U.S. might revert back to letting Assad stay in power or at least not rush his ouster, if he does not get out of hand again with chemical weapons and as a concession for renewing cooperation with Russia against ISIS forces in Syria.
Thus noted deal-maker Trump raises the specter of helping defeat Assad's forces and ousting him — perhaps to better get Russia to fulfill its prior pledge to pressure Assad into abandoning chemical attacks. There could be an ultimatum that any more war crimes prompts U.S. intervention, and beyond periodic punitive strikes.
In the aerial attack Thursday, Russian jets were spared to avoid extra provocation of Russia. Sparing most of the air base made the attack less destructive and provocative, and more of a warning of wider military punishment if Syria continues gassing its citizens.
It backfired to let the air base stay operational. Merely two days later on Saturday, it was reportedly used to bomb again the village struck April 4 but with fewer casualties. This time, a residential neighborhood was hit with one fatality recorded.
There were no reports of poison gas. Still, it was a rebuke. Sen. Lindsay Graham (R-S.C.) called it an "'F' you" by Assad to Trump, that foolishly escalates tensions and dares further attack. The U.S. did not strike again militarily, as of press time.
Assad's office called U.S. punitive air strikes "shortsightedness and political and military blindness to reality," boasting stronger resolve to kill rebels anywhere in Syria.
The Pentagon calls it a "proportional strike." Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley said it was "fully justified," and warned the U.S. is "prepared to do more." Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said on Fox News that Putin should realize "We're coming in — get out of the way. Don't try to stop us. Or we'll roll over you, if you do."
In rare bi-partisan unity, new Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said "making sure Assad knows that when he commits such despicable atrocities that he will pay a price is the right thing to do."
The president sounded forceful in resolve. "Tonight, I ordered a targeted, military strike of the airfield in Syria from where the chemical attack was launched," Pres. Trump explained on television. "It is in the vital national security interest of the United States (which has 1,000 troops in Syria) to prevent and deter the spread and use of deadly chemical weapons. There can be no dispute that Syria used chemical weapons, violated its obligations under the chemical weapons convention, and ignored the urging of the U.N. Security Council."
He stressed that "years of continued attempts at changing Assad's behavior have all failed, and failed very dramatically. As a result, the refugee crisis continues to deepen. And the region continues to de-stabilize — threatening the United States, and its allies."
"What you did was amazing. What you did was a powerful
message of hope," for Syrians, Syrian citizen Kassem Eid said on CNN Monday about Trump's air strike. Eid survived a chemical attack in 2013. He urged stronger punishment.
Trump had previously regarded Assad's reign as one to tolerate as a "political reality," especially with Iraq-like uncertainty of what radical elements might replace an ousted dictator. But Trump did an about face, at least slapping Assad's hand after seeing imagery of gas attack Syrian victims.
U.S. Rep. Meadows has said "we should help create a more humanitarian government" in Syria.
Tillerson blasted "Russia's inability, to live up to its commitment" to get Assad to abide by chemical weapons agreements of 2013 in exchange for his remaining in power, " Tillerson told ABC's George Stephanopoulos Sunday. Syria, where Iraq's Hussein reportedly hid his own WMD, had an estimated 1,000 tons of chemical weapons in '13. Tillerson noted Russia's role is in "securing chemical weapons, destroying chemical weapons, and continuing to monitor the situation." Hinting at reports Russia knew of recent gas attacks, he said Russia was "complicit, or simply incompetent" in enforcement.
There are inquiries into whether Russians are assisting in chemical weapon attacks on Syrian dissidents. Russian jets are blamed for "scorched-earth" heavy bombings that even target schools and residences to weaken dissidents' resolve.
Russians reportedly blasted the hospital where poison gas victims were treated, five hours after the chemical attack to cover up evidence of illegal chemical weapon use. On the disinformation front, Russia and Iran question if Syria actually used poisonous gas. Russia has intervened in the Syrian civil war since fall 2015, with air strikes on rebel groups and by supplying deep-penetrating bombs to destroy hospitals.

She is always available for questions, and if we have needed help.All in all, our New York adventure has been made very much easier to work with Nadia! Thank you!
Lisa og Jarle Bernhoft
The whole family was going on a trip to New York in the autumn holiday. We wanted the freedom it is to live in an apartment, but found so many options online. Then it was good to find Nadia Endrerud and New York Vacation, which could help find it completely right apartment. Perfect size, location and to our needs.
We always felt that New York Vacation was professional, very quick in feedback and with an exceptionally good, accessible and personalised customer service. A service that made us always feel well taken care of.
In addition to that we got hold of the apartment that suited us perfectly, we also got exceptional help with everything else we could wish for us. Including transport to / from the airport. It is lovely with a car waiting for you when one has travelled (with children)for so many hours on a flight. Everything worked out smoothly and just as we agreed on – and the exceptional service from New York Vacation made a big difference.
A big thank you to Nadia Endrerud for your help and handling of our family. We had a great trip to the world's best city!
We can heartily recommend New York Vacation and Nadia Endrerud.
The family Petersen, Haslum, Norway
In early September our youngest daughter were getting married in New York. We decided to stay an extra week to be able to enjoy the Big Apple fully. In recent years we have increasingly focused on apartment above hotel when traveling abroad, with excellent results. It is a very special experience to have a home when you are far away from home.
After a deep dive on the net, we sent out some soundings about an apartment in NY. We received many answers, but one stood out. It came from Nadia Endrerud; quick response, well-written and informative. All formalities had high level of precision.
Among other suggestions, we decided to stay at Silver Towers. It was a stroke of luck! After long walks up avenues and through museums and parks, it became more at-home evenings with exotic takeout and TV American style – overlooking the Hudson River and the NY skyline.
Nadia followed up continuously, and we felt very well looked after.
It was a glorious wedding and a fabulous "bonus week" in NY. One thing is for certain: The next time we are having an "apartment vacation" in NY; Nadia Endrerud will be the first we contact. We highly recommend her services.
Åse Kleveland and Oddvar Bull Tuhus, Oslo, Norway
We are very happy that we came in contact with you and all the help you have provided! Again thank you so much for your help, not to mention a great follow up! We are very impressed 🙂
Nina W, Norway
You are just amazing! Thank you so much for super tips and great work!
Anne Mette L, Norway
Thank you again for a wonderful apartment. We really like it. Good to be able to make your dinner to eat at home, rather than having takeaway or eating out. Much appreciated that you helped us find this apartment.
Julie V. B, Norway
Used NYV to book a week in Manhattan. They had rates cheaper than anything I could find on the internet, or my travel company could find. Highly Recommended.
Douglas Cooper – Ohio, US
Thanks to your arrangement my trip to NY was so great. The weather stayed nice during my stay in NYC. I saw The Planetarium at The American Museum of Natural History, and the musical "Memphis" in Times Sq, and had Chinese Food & Japanese food. Everything was great! You made my trip very memorable. I want to go back to NYC very soon. Thanx!

Covetrus (CVET) Securities Class Action:
According to the Complaint, Defendants misled investors about the business prospects and performance of Covetrus, which was formed through a spin-off and merger of the Animal Health Business of Henry Schein with Vets First Choice ("VFC"). Specifically, Defendants repeatedly assured investors that the integration of the legacy Henry Schein Animal Health Business and VFC was on track to hit financial targets.
On August 13, 2019, Covetrus shocked investors when it reported a 2Q 2019 loss and slashed 2019 guidance. The company blamed the poor performance on integration difficulties and increased spending to eliminate obligations to Henry Schein.
This news drove the price of Covetrus shares down $9.30, or down about 40%, to close at $13.89 on August 13, 2019, wiping out over $1 billion of the Company's market capitalization.
On October 22, 2019, the Company and senior management announced the immediate departure of Ben Shaw from his roles as director, CEO and President, driving the price of Covetrus shares down as much $1.96, or about 19%, during intraday trading that day.
"We're focused on investors' losses and whether Covetrus misled investors about the successful onboarding of Henry Schein's Animal Health Business," said Hagens Berman partner Reed Kathrein.

Home Insurance
Knowledge is power. Take control of your financial future.
The Ins and Outs of Home Insurance
Home Insurance is more than something highly recommended that you pay a month. It's important to take time to search for the right protection whether looking for a budget friendly policy or one that is more towards affordable value in what protections home insured offers to you, your family, your property and your personal belongings.
Home insurance choices are important as it could be the difference of tailored coverage that will protect from a major financial loss in an investment like your home in the event of storms, fires, or other threats that can potentially destroy your house or property.
You insure your car, you insure your phone, you hopefully insure your family. Why would a house be different?
Home Insurance is Vital
You need something in place to protect your home and property. Home Insurance also protects you from liability of accidents and injury that could occur to yourself or anyone in or around your home. Important to note that if you rent, renters' insurance can protect your belongings from theft from a break in, fire or water damage.
Have a Figure in Mind for Home Insurance Coverage
Have a Figure in Mind for Home Insurance CoverageHave an amount in mind of coverage you think you need to cover a loss in property and/or personal belongings. If you have the option in coverage, you need to itemize your property belongings and the value of your home. The more coverage the better as it will be less to pay out of pocket to replace your home value and belongings. In most cases the mortgages lender includes their own insurance coverage or partnered with a home insurer to cover the cost of the house in cases of disaster. If you don't have the option to decide on the coverage you need, one might be decided for you and most cases just the value of the home. However, if you want to have more value coverage to cover the loss of personal property, expect the quoted value for coverage might inflate the premium each month but have piece of mind that you can start fresh with the value of the home and loss of personal property.
Compare Deductibles with Each Policy
Deductibles are what you pay out of pocket that applies to your house coverage and personal property. It is important to know how much you are paying out of pocket when you make a claim. I cover more on this on setting up an Emergency Fund as part of your three critical accounts to have easily accessible for use when needed. What is important to know is the less the deductible you pay out of pocket the more expensive the premium.
$500 deductible = More premium each month paid as opposed to $1500 deductible = Less Premium paid each month.
Where to Go to Shop
You can always check the newspapers, yellow pages or online with review sites like (Mentioned Home Insurer Review sites links). You can always call local agents to inquire about their company coverage especially if you are a potential new client, they will be eager to help answer any questions for you to help you decide. Just be warned that they will persuasive in trying to get you to commit to signing up with their coverage. Luckily for you I have included a list of my recommended home insurance companies that excel in both service and price for any budget. (12 Top Recommended Home Insurance Companies (link))
Shop Around Before You Buy
You aren't required to use the home insurer that your mortgage company uses with your mortgage. You can shop around by doing some research using unbiased sources like state insurance departments online, public library resources with access to Moody, AM Best, Standard and Poor's or Fitch. It doesn't hurt to ask friends, family, neighbors or work colleagues on recommendations. Price and service are not difficult to decide on for Home Insurers if you have the resources to compare policies from various companies. A good source online would be to try searching online for your state insurance department to have assistance in selecting a policy as most online searches will yield a contact number to call and help all your questions be answered. If you missed that recommended list of 12 top home insurers, here it is again. (12 Top Recommended Home Insurance Companies (link))
Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value?
You have a choice with home insurance to insure your home and personal belongings with replacement cost or cash value.
- Replacement Cost- it is the amount to replace, rebuild or repair damages with materials of similar quality without deducting for depreciation.
- Actual Cash Value- it is the amount it would take to repair or replace AFTER depreciation.
Be sure to insure your home for at least 80% or it's replacement value. For more information, (see this related article for further information. LINK)
See if you Qualify for Discounts
You can always ask your current home insurer or when shopping around if discounts are offered and if you qualify. Most cases deals are offered for bundling insurance coverage of your car, boat, and home together. Another thing to note is if you have made improvements to the home such as additions to the home, replaced the roofing or adding value to the home in some way. Other means is preventive theft or damage to your home by having a Home security system, dead bolt locks, or fire alarms.
Basic Coverages Available
When selecting coverage with carful research, you can find different packages of home insurance protections such as fire, theft and severe storms. In most cases additional coverages are offered like property damage, medical payments, living expenses and liability.
Read the Fine Print of the Policy
Always take time to read the policy being offered. The policy is the legal document on what rights and responsibilities you are entitled to and as well as those of the insurance company. Before agreeing to the coverage, be sure to read and understand all content of the policy. Be sure to keep this in a safe location easily accessible. (For more information on keeping important documents together for emergencies, check out this article. LINK)
Review Your Home Policy each Year
Get with your home insurer or agent to review your policy each year if you have adequate coverage or qualify for a discounted premium. If you have made changes to your home that increases the value of your home, you need to increase the coverage so if anything, unfortunate occurs you the full value of your home. Even if you didn't make improvements, the value of your home does increase if you are in a good neighborhood. Keeping track of this each year could save you money on the premium each month of assure you get a full value of the home if something ever happens. The replacement cost is important not to be forgotten to avoid loss of any money when you need it if you file a claim.

FTC says identification protector LifeLock violated settlement
NEW YORK - The U.S. government says identity theft protection company LifeLock spent years violating a $12 million settlement for misrepresenting the protection it provides for customers.
Four years after LifeLock paid the eight-figure settlement related to false claims in its advertising, the Federal Trade Commission said LifeLock still had not set up a comprehensive program to protect sensitive data like credit card numbers, Social Security numbers and bank account numbers.
The agency also said that LifeLock didn't keep records it had agreed to maintain and falsely advertised that consumers' data received the same level of protection as financial institutions get and that consumers would be alerted as soon as the company discovered a potential problem. The FTC asked a court to find LifeLock in contempt and to order LifeLock to provide redress to consumers.
Prepared to go to court
LifeLock said the FTC's actions and statements are related to past business practices and that it is prepared to defend itself in court. The Tempe, Ariz.-based company said it has been cooperating and talking to the agency for a year and a half.
The FTC said LifeLock violated parts of the order as recently as December 2014 by telling consumers they would be notified as soon as the company became aware of a possible problem. LifeLock's site now says consumers can get alerts by email, text or phone but does not specify a time frame for the alerts. It said the fastest alerts require a current email address and that phone alerts are only available during business hours.
Shares of LifeLock tumbled 49 percent to finish at $8.15 on Tuesday. During the session the shares fell to $7.70, their lowest price since December 2012.
Climbing revenue
Company co-founder and CEO Todd Davis used to put his own Social Security number on business cards and company trucks to advertise LifeLock's services, and the company has seen its revenue climb as companies and government institutions continued to report data breaches.
The company's standard plan costs $9.99 a month plus sales tax, and LifeLock says its features include surveillance of black market sites, verification of address changes and live member support. Its top plan costs $29.99 a month. According to LifeLock's site, that plan offers notification of data breaches, monitoring of fictitious identities, alerts of credit inquiries and scanning of court records.

As millions of people travel to Lourdes, France, every year in search of divine healing, some evangelical missionaries are warning that at the holy site venerated by Catholics, many are revering the Virgin Mary more than Jesus Christ.
"For followers of Jesus Christ, the atmosphere in Lourdes is dark and discouraging. Christians know that it is 'the Lord who heals you' (Exodus 15:26). The determination and expectation of 6 million pilgrims a year feels overwhelming," Pioneers, a missions agency that is based in Florida but has offices worldwide, said last week.
One Pioneers member in Lourdes said: "In my town Mary takes Jesus' place on the cross. People come from far and wide to bring honor to her, to ask her for healing, to pray to her. This is all the locals of this rural town in the mountains know: not Jesus, just millions of Catholic pilgrims from the whole world with their Mary statues, rosaries, and holy water. What should church look like for people who have been completely desensitized to the Gospel?"
As the article explains, every year over 6 million people — Catholics and people of other faiths — visit Lourdes where they believe Mary appeared in 1858 on several occasions. The Vatican has declared the location a holy site for worshipers, with many believing that a cave with a natural spring, where Mary is said to have appeared, has healing properties.
It noted that each year, 350,000 people bathe in the spring, while over 7,000 have asked the Vatican to confirm their healings as a miracle. The Catholic Church has authenticated 69 such miraculous healings in Lourdes.
"Masses of hopeful people come from all walks of life to visit the grotto. Buddhists and Hindus, Catholics and superstitious are there. The wealthy and poor are there. Young and old. Black and white. Western and eastern," Pioneers adds.
"They all walk together — unified in their hope and expectation of healing. They fly, drive, and walk far for their chance to be miraculously restored," the missionary group ads.
The missionaries said that they're looking to renovate a cafe in the center of Lourdes as a way to offer visitors who come for Mary an encounter with Jesus instead. They say that they are hoping that "those who seek the healing of a physical infirmity, would instead receive restoration for their souls."
The veneration of Mary continues to be one of the major points of disagreement between evangelicals and Catholics.

I have already tried Google's microformat testing tool, but it's not clear to me that it works the same way as Googlebot -- it seems reasonable that Googlebot would have more features than a simple web-based testing tool.
So, I'm wondering -- does anyone have any real-world experience in successfully getting Googlebot to parse microformat data inserted via javascript (e.g., external script via document.write).
Any kind of authoritative source would be great. I'm flying completely blind on this one right now. Thanks!
