True to his Promise Devon raised the boys as his own they were happy and unaware that Devon was really their uncle. The three Kids were as thick as thieves and spoilt rotten by Grandma and Grandpa.
While Daddy told them exciting fun stories about right and wrong, The good guys versus the villians and eventually a true story of a difficult decision made with love.
For such a tolerant Boy Oake was very unforgiving. He was Loyal to the man who had raised him and refused to have anything to do with the woman who had broken him and their family.
Peacelily and Cedar were less stubborn and wanted time to get to know their mother and (uncle/Dad) Aspen. So moved away to be a little closer to them.

MAJOR changes could come to a New Cumnock wind farm as proposals demand bigger turbines.
Plans have now been lodged to Lethans Wind Farm which hope to introduce the site's lifespan from 25 to 30 years, as well as increase the height and the rotor diameter of the turbines.
Hamilton-based employer, Banks Renewables, amended the plans in order to boost the amount of clean, green energy generated, while maintaining its commitments for a 22-turbine site.
The farm would power over 90,000 with an estimated 105.6MW of energy to the National Grid.
Communities within 10km of Lethans would benefit from a £7.1m local community benefit fund.
This includes £1.3m skills and training fund to help around 440 local unemployed people overcome barriers to work as well as a £250,000 contribution towards new mountain bike trails on the Lethans site.
They would also have the opportunity to purchase up to a five per cent share in the wind farm.
Jeannie Kielty, community relations manager at Banks Renewables, said: "Our updated plans are really exciting and reflect our commitment to delivering real, long-lasting benefits to East Ayrshire.
"If the amendments are approved, it will enable us to increase the clean, green electricity generated by Lethans Wind Farm, as well as make an investment of approximately £39m into the Scottish economy during construction.
Overall, it is estimated that £132m will be invested into the Scottish economy during the project lifecycle.
The site was initially granted planning consent by the Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit in March 2018 following a positive recommendation from East Ayrshire Council.
Jeannie added: "We'd like to thank everyone who has contributed to the planning process over the past couple of years and hope that it will once again lead to a positive decision from the Scottish Government's Energy Consents Unit and local planning authority."
In line with its Connect2Renewables initiative, Banks hopes to create upwards of 130 direct jobs during the site's constructions and prioritising local companies, wherever possible, for the construction contracts.
The Hamilton based employer has been praised for its partnership approach to the proposals by working with members of the local community at each stage of the planning process.
If approved, the electricity generated from the wind farm will provide funding to deliver tailored benefits to directly fit the needs of the communities, including helping to support their recently launched action plans.
The firm is also offering the community the opportunity to purchase up to a 5% stake in the project at a discounted rate, presenting an opportunity for long lasting, positive benefits for the local area.
Banks Renewables is committed to clean energy and its promotion. They are equally driven to ensure that their projects deliver tangible social, economic and environmental benefits to the communities in which they operate.

Not strictly manufactured in Britain, but made in Britain; the UK makes some of the best TV and films (movies) in the world. A recent good example of great British TV is the BBC drama Parade's End starring Benedict Cumberbatch. In the dying days of the Edwardian Empire, Christopher Tietjens enters into a destructive marriage with the beautiful but cruel socialite Sylvia. Based in the novels of Ford Madox Ford.
In films, a good example of great British film making (well perhaps strictly speaking Anglo-American-Japanese film making) is the Bond films (based in the character created by Ian Fleming and starring Daniel Craig as the most recent incarnation of James Bond), the latest of which is Skyfall which is premiered in London tomorrow.

Tiny Kent cottage on the market for £140,000 is only TEN FEET wide – but there's a twist
This "charming" property certainly looks compact from the outside but boasts a large feature
THIS cottage in Kent which is on the market for £140,000 definitely proves that looks can be deceiving.
From the outside the property in Folkestone appears particularly compact because it measures just 10 feet wide...but there's a twist.
This comes in the shape of its large back garden, which measures an impressive 70ft.
A stream also runs at the foot of the sizeable garden.
The delightful one-bedroom property is situated close to Folkestone railway station which offers fast train connections to London in just under an hour.
There's also quick access to Europe around two miles away via the Channel Tunnel.
The Wisteria-clad home retains a wealth of features including exposed brick walls, fireplaces and sash windows, and boasts what has been described as a "charming sitting room with exposed brick and chimney breast".
A tree local public park is also within walking distance, and the seaside town Folkestone offers a range of shopping and recreational facilities.

The AMG S 63 uses AMG's hand-built 4.0-litre twin-turbo petrol engine (codename M177), generating 612 hp and 900 Nm and powering the rear wheels via the AMG Speedshift MCT 9G-Tronic nine-speed gearbox. It emits 225 g/km of CO2 and can achieve up to 28.8 mpg on the combined cycle.
The S 65 uses a hand-built 6.0-litre V12 petrol engine which has an output of 630 hp and 1000 Nm, emitting 272 g/km of CO2 and delivering 23.5 mpg.

What's Happening In My Life?
October 8, 2007 Leave a comment
My first newsletter, from 8th October 2007
Well, here it is: the first DC Cardwell Newsletter. Thanks so much for reading it – I really appreciate your interest in my music.
I don't want this to be simply a duplication of stuff you can read elsewhere. On the other hand, it's also aimed at those of you who don't hang around Myspace or Facebook, so I do want to keep you up to date with what's happening with my music.
Well, I'm still in the day job, in case some of you who know me from way back are wondering what on earth has happened. But a few years ago I started writing some songs and singing them myself, a bit of a departure for me. I seriously thought no-one would ever hear them, and in fact, even my own family didn't hear them until relatively recently. However, I'd heard a lot about Myspace and decided to sign up for an account there, and pretty quickly I got fed up explaining to even newer people who its founder Tom Anderson was. I'd say "Tom Is Everybody's Friend", and of course, that's just asking to be a song title. So one day when I was off work sick (really!) I recorded the song. I don't think I've ever written and recorded another song so quickly and carelessly. I put it up on Myspace and suddenly found that people liked it, and they liked my other songs too.
And if you're wondering why I'm not "David Cardwell" anymore, it's simply because there are already more well-known "David Cardwell"s than you might imagine, and I didn't want to have to compete with them on Google. Try searching for "David Cardwell". Now search for "DC Cardwell". See?
So if it ooks impressive, it's really not. I'm still a medical scientist, still only play music for fun, and I still haven't made a dollar out of my songs – I've sold a few mp3s on Martian Music but still haven't recouped my sign-up fee! Nothing would make me happier than to be able to give up the day job (I've never liked it), but at my age, it's probably not going to happen. But it has been an absolute joy to be able to make music and have people around the world listen to it and appreciate it! That, in itself, is success!
To bring you right up to date, my family and I have built a new home, in a suburb of Melbourne called Langwarrin, not far from Frankston where we live right now. It's almost finished and we'll be moving in sometime before Christmas.
THE BAD NEWS: I'll be really busy for the next few months, as you can imagine, and probably won't have time to write or record any new songs.
THE GOOD NEWS: Our new house incorporates a small (one room) soundproofed recording studio! Yeah! It will still have the same paltry recording gear in it, at least to begin with, but if the soundproofing is as effective as I hope it is, I should be able to make lots of noise more easily without annoying the rest of the family and the neighbours quite so much. Bear in mind that the rooms I recorded in up until now have been upstairs in a wood-framed house and so I have had to try and record extremely quietly, except for when I did the drum parts, at which time half of Frankston could have heard me. The other advantage will be that I can keep my gear set up and ready to use when inspiration strikes!
This photo is not exactly exciting, but in future newsletters I'll include pictures of it as it starts to look like home. I hope to add to my gear to some extent as time goes by – with a proper audio interface for my computer and a better drum kit high on the list of priorities, but don't expect a huge mixing desk – it's not Abbey Road, just a small room, and I don't really need a lot of inputs.
MYSPACE: www.myspace.com/dccardwell [Yes, my MySpace page is still there as of 2012!]
I've already mentioned MySpace, which most of you are probably familiar with. This is where I first started to get some attention for my music, and really, let's face it, right up to the present time just about my whole virtual "career" exists there! You don't actually have to be a member to view my profile and listen to my songs there, in fact I think you can even read my blog without signing in. However you can't send me messages, comments or friend requests or see my photos (big loss). On the other hand, it's very easy to sign up if you can't live without any of those features.
But if you dig around MySpace profile a little bit you'll find all kinds of interesting things. It would be pointless to go into them here, so all I can say is, check it out!
If you want to help me out there, sending bulletins, comments, blogs and messages with some of my ReverbNation "widgets" would be fantastic. You can find a couple right on my MySpace page. Bulletins are probably one of the best things, as they go to a large number of people. Give them a catchy title. Repost some of my bulletins that you think might appeal to your friends. Also, you can put a widget on your profile. Mentioning me in groups or forums, or really anywhere, would also be good. Be creative! If you don't know how to do this kind of stuff, ask me and I'll help you out. My greatest weapon is you guys spreading the word around!
As well as MySpace, I've put some of my songs up on various sites over the last while but I haven't really had time to "work" them the way I have with MySpace. Some of them could use input from my fans to give me a higher profile.
REVERBNATION: www.reverbnation.com/dccardwell
That's the site which hosts this newsletter. Again, you can view my profile there without becoming a member. However, I highly recommend it for musicians because of the widgets and the FanReach system, which is how I run this newsletter. [Not any more – as of 2012 I've switched to Fanbridge] You can also sign up as a "fan", and add me and other artists as your favourites. (I'd love you to do that!)
http://www.garageband.com/artist/dccardwell/ [dead link]
This site is supposed to be good for the system whereby other people review your music and you can make it into contests and up charts. The catch is, to be eligible for entry to these you have to review a certain number of other artists' tracks. I've started to do that but haven't got around to doing enough reviews to gain entry to the charts… someday!
TRIPLE J UNEARTHED: www.triplejunearthed.com/dccardwell
An Australian site associated with the national radio station Triple J. Signing up here and writing a review of my songs would be cool.
NEIL YOUNG'S LIVING WITH WAR SITE: www.neilyoung.com/lwwtoday/lwwsongspage.html
This is a page which Neil Young set up as part of his neilyoung.com site, where he posts songs that are in some way related to questions of the war in Iraq in particular, and also war and peace in general. My song Peace And Love actually reached No. 3 there at one point, when I was actively encouraging people to go and click on it there, but now it has dropped down to number cough cough! Speaking of Peace And Love, did I ever tell you why I wrote it? My friend Tony told me that Ringo Starr uses the phrase "Peace And Love" all the time on his website, so he said I should write a song of that title and maybe Ringo would cover it. So I did. Of course, I haven't the slightest clue how to get Ringo to pay any attention to a song of mine, and even if I did, I don't exactly think it's the kind of jolly singalong anthem that Tony had in mind!
YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/DCCardwellsMusic
Videos… and more to follow presently!
FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com/dccardwell
I was amazed to find that you can add a few of my songs to the iLike application in FaceBook! I think it's because they're on Garageband and they automatically get linked across. So if you're on FaceBook you can easily dedicate my songs to people or add them to any of your message or wall posts. Please feel free – it all helps! ["iLike" never really took off, did it, but Facebook did, and so did "like"… it's now the best place to share my music – 2012 DC]
[2012 note – for places to buy my music (and Marjorie's) go straight to madcarrecords.com]

World Alzheimer's Day 2008
No time to lose!
The theme for World Alzheimer's Day™ 2008 was 'No time to lose!'. In our materials and activities we focused on carers by emphasising and celebrating the contribution they make to society and giving them the recognition they deserve.
Every year Alzheimer associations across the globe unite to recognise World Alzheimer's Day in many ways and 2008 was no exception with workshops, open days, lectures, entertainment and exhibitions taking place internationally. On 21 September thousands of people worldwide took to the streets for Memory Walks with the shared purpose of remembering loved ones and raising awareness of Alzheimer's disease. Read our report of events in many countries.
We are grateful to the MetLife Foundation for supporting World Alzheimer's Day 2008. We believe the large numbers of people involved and the media coverage these events have gained will make a real difference for people with dementia, their families and carers worldwide.
ADI, supported by our member associations around the world, launched the Global Alzheimer's Disease Charter on World Alzheimer's Day.

5 Memorable Black Women from "The Real World"
Say what you want now, but "The Real World" single-handedly ushered in the reality TV craze. In the beginning, it was all about painting a grim, but true portrait of everyday life for young people in this little, big world of ours. And while the show was able to do all that, it's always had a crutch when it comes to diversifying. The few black people featured from season to season were often remembered as over-agressive brothas carrying around ticking time bomb tempers. With all that, the black women of "The Real World" haven't fully received their due, and with the 25th season starting today, it's about time. A few of my faves, they weren't all positive role models, but they looked like us, were interesting, and were very real indeed…Ooooo ladies first!

I do love Jasper Fforde! For Dewithon, I read the first two books in the Chronicles of Kazam trilogy. The third is no longer at my library, and I put an ILL request in for it. These middle-grade fantasy stories are so fun, everybody!
|OK, I haven't gotten that third one yet, but I like this image
As with the Thursday Next books, at least half the fun is in the details and the oddball world Fforde has invented. This is a Britain un-united, with innumerable tiny kingdoms and plenty of strange creatures. A good deal of Wales belongs to dragons (naturally enough) and the north belongs to trolls. Magic runs the technology, and is written in code -- RUNIX used to be standard but ARAMAIC-128 is more modern.
There were a lot of good moments, but this one in particular had to be read aloud to anyone nearby. Jennifer and the company's messenger, a magic-carpet owner and prince of a neighboring kingdom, are on their way home:
We took the train back to the Kingdom of Hereford. After the afternoon's action, the carpet was in no state to be used for anything -- not even a carpet. The prince had no cash, so he swapped a minor dukedom back in his home Kingdom of Portland for two first-class tickets and we caught the first train out of Stirling station. As a foundling I was not permitted to sit anywhere but third class, but when the conductor questioned my presence in first, the prince said that I was his personal organ donor and traveled everywhere with him, just in case. The conductor congratulated the prince on such a novel use of a foundling and told me I was lucky to have such a kind benefactor.
I'm seriously tempted to give my dragon-loving niece this trilogy for her next birthday. I think it would be right up her alley, despite not being mainly about dragons. I loved them, I can't wait till the third one shows up, and if you like humor in your fantasy, or if you enjoyed Thursday Next, you should definitely read the Chronicles of Kazam.

One of the most distinctive voices in British dance theatre, Artistic Director Luca Silvestrini has been using a blend of original choreography, text, humour and music to entertain and provoke audiences since 1997. Protein's shows connect theatrical experiences with the everyday and real-life stories that engage audiences and participants in both on-and-off stage productions.
We believe in bringing the audience closer, inviting them to connect with what's happening on stage, whether through subject matter, location, or the way performers directly address the audience bridging the divide between watching and participating. The success and impact of Protein's performance and participation programme has grown nationally and internationally over the last twenty years and in 2016, Protein was again nominated (having won the accolade in 2011) for the best Independent Company at the National Dance Awards.
Protein has toured throughout the UK and internationally with its acclaimed productions including LOL (lots of love) (2010); Border Tales in its original version (2013) May Contain Food (2015) and May Contain Food, May Contain You (2016), especially created for rural touring. In addition to on-stage works, Luca has created outdoor shows including Windows in Progress (2014) and (In)visible Dancing (2010) which has now been commissioned thirteen times, and reached an audience of over 130,000 people.
In 2016 the company was commissioned by BBC World Service (with a global reach of 166 million) to restage an excerpt of Border Tales for their Identity season. Following a successful run at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2017 to sold-out audiences and to critical acclaim, Protein will continue to tour Border Tales both nationally and internationally.

French President Francois Hollande said that the 19 countries using the euro need their own government complete with a budget and parliament to cooperate better and overcome the Greek crisis.
"Circumstances are leading us to accelerate," Hollande said in an opinion piece published by the Journal du Dimanche on Sunday. "What threatens us is not too much Europe, but a lack of it."
While the euro zone has a common currency, fiscal and economic policies remain mostly in the hands of each member state. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi made a plea this week for deeper cooperation between the euro members after political squabbles over Greece almost led to a rupture in the single currency.
Countries in favor of more integration should move ahead, forming an "avant-garde," Hollande said.
"Europe has let its institutions weaken and the 28 European Union member countries are struggling to agree to move ahead," Hollande said on Sunday in a text which was also a homage to his mentor Jacques Delors, a former European Commission President who proposed similar ideas.
Draghi called for the creation of a shared treasury within 10 years in a joint proposal with politicians including European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker and Eurogroup President Jeroen Dijsselbloem last month.

I'm pretty sure in the last month I have gone from SlightlyInsaneStacey to CompletelyInsaneStacey. Life seems to be coming at me full speed and I'm just trying not to swallow any flies.
The blog has totally been neglected due to the craziness that is our life and I do feel bad about that because not only do I have devoted readers and a sudden rush of SITS visitors but it is also enjoyable for me. A sort of therapy to relieve the stress.
I've been busy. Busy throwing Little Bear's 7th birthday party. Nothing more fun than a group of 7ish year olds trying to bowl like the pros. They had fun though and that was the goal. Highlights include being asked if I could make a good tasting cake next time(first attempt at fondant icing = fail). It looked beautiful, tasted like crap. Another would be when I was reminded that one child routinely pukes during almost every meal and she did not disappoint. Lots of fun. Oh and on the way home I saw a dead raccoon on the side of the road wearing a party hat.
I've been busy starting a second job. Doing home parties selling purses, jewellery, scarves and other girlie things. I love it and since coffee slinging isn't paying the bills these days it is nice that I can do something I am having fun with to contribute more and make the same amount but with less hours as the coffee slinging.
Papa Bear and I have been busy planning and shopping for our new addition to our house. I'm looking forward to doubling the size of our home but not the whole construction thing. Doubling up 2 of the boys is not something I am looking forward to at all. Not even pretty, fancy bathroom facets or an extra bedroom can smooth that stress. A walk in closet comes close though. It seems almost everyday there is a message on the machine from some contractor/plumber/electrician/build something guy. At this point I am pretty sure this addition is going to be beautiful on the inside and hideous on the outside. I guess I will just have to close my eyes when I pull into the driveway.
I've also been busy trying (again and still) to potty train the untrainable Fuzzy. I hate cleaning crap out of underwear even more than dirty diapers. I don't understand how he can be dry for 9 hours of daycare and then be home for an hour and go through 3 pairs of underwear. What did he do store it all day? Thanks Fuzzy but you can leave a deposit at daycare thanks.
Hopefully life will slow down a bit soon. Until then I guess we will just have to roll with it. Busy is far better than boring and boring just isn't my thing.

By Hive News | Posted: 12 Mar 2002
Koch Entertainment and DIC Entertainment have entered into a three-year exclusive agreement for Koch to manufacture, promote and market albums from DIC's music catalogue.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for DIC and Koch," said DIC's SVP of music Karyn Ulman. "Koch gets access to songs and master recordings that have been aired on popular television series, songs that are familiar to millions of fans, but up until now were not obtainable. DIC gets to have their recordings promoted and marketed by the best independent music company in the business."
"Sing-a-Long with Madeline," the working title, will be the Koch's first DIC CD release in June. "Madeline" is based on the character created by Ludwig Bemelmans who first appeared in an illustrated book in 1939. Each of the televised episodes and the direct-to-videos produced by DIC contained original songs performed by the Madeline cast and her friends.
The second and third releases will be songs from "Sailor Moon" and "Strawberry Shortcake," respectively.
DIC has created more than 4,000 original songs for the nearly 3,000 animated that have aired on television since the company began operations in the United States in 1983. Under the new agreement, KOCH Entertainment will release two CDs this year.
"This partnership further entrenches KOCH in the children's market," said Koch president Bob Frank. "DIC has built a wonderful catalog and we're privileged to join forces with them."
Sailor Moon has had a long run in syndication and on the Cartoon Network, where it was a big hit in the Tunami block. DIC recently concluded a deal with American Greetings for the character's "Strawberry Shortcake" video, broadcast and licensing rights. "Strawberry Shortcake grossed more than $100 million in its first year.

While filling in a job application, you often have an option "contact the referees after the interview". Don't be scared to use it, most of the prospective employers only contact the referees after the interview. If you were shortlisted for an interview, you already have good chances to get the job. After the interview the potential employers tend to rely more on a good in person experience, than on a reference from an unknown person with a potential conflict of interests. Just be honest why you don't want to ask for a reference from your previous supervisor or PI.
Case 1 – PhD student
A bad reference is always a problem, but if you didn't get along with your PhD supervisor, it is not the end of the world and your nascent career. I know a PhD student (not his real name), who had a huge row with his supervisor at the end of his postgraduate studies. It was something to do with the authors order on a paper, but the details are not important. What is important, he was able to get a postdoctoral position. After the interview he was asked about the references and told the truth, without getting into the details – that the supervisor is not happy with him, but it is possible to give references from his second supervisor and his Master Project advisor. The interviewing PI was happy to accept his explanation and alternative references. The former student got the job.

Long Dollar Liquidation Featured
The US dollar is beginning the new week as it finished last week, with a heavy tone. Position adjusting in the wake of the European/IMF deal and ahead of month end is the main driver. Also prompting some profit-taking on long dollar positions may be concern about the market's appetite for US debt in the wake of last week's tepid auction reception and news from the Congressional Budget Office that Social Security will likely pay out more than it takes in this year, 5-6 years earlier than had been projected.
The global equity rally remains intact. The MSCI Asia-Pacific Index rose 0.4%, led by metals and commodities. Much stronger than expected Japanese retail sales (Feb +0.9% vs -1.2% expected) failed to support Japanese shares, with some 2500 companies going ex-dividend today. The Shanghai Composite was the region's best performer, up 2.1%. Heightened tensions in Korean peninsula following the sinking of a South Korean ship saw the Kospi buck the regional trend. European bourses are also mostly higher—0.33%-0.75%–with basic materials and telecoms the stronger sectors. Oil & gas and health care are the laggards. Of note, Ireland's bourse is not participating in today's advance; losing 1.7% following indications that the government may have to increase its stake in some of the country's largest banks. US S&P 500 is expected to open around 0.5% better. Last week, this index eked out a 0.6% rise. In the second half of the week, strong intra-day gains were pared back late turnover and the market will be watching to see if this pattern continues.
Sovereign bond markets are mostly lower. Strong retail sales and anticipation of a strong Tankan Report on Thursday weighed on the Japanese government bonds. A strong signal by RBA Governor Stevens suggesting a rate hike as early as next week, coupled with the US Treasury decline before the weekend took a toll on Australian bonds. Weak mortgage approvals and soft M4 helped underpin gilts, where the 10-year yield slipped 3 bp. Greek bonds began firm but the gains have been reversed on news that Greece will seek to place 7-year bonds this week. US bonds remain under pressure amid renewed steepening. Israel hiked rates over the weekend. The 25 bp hike to 1.5% is the fourth hike since August. Robust growth coupled with rising inflation expectations was the main consideration. Lastly, we note that Romania delivered its third rate cut this year. The 50 bp cut brings the key rate to 6.5%.
Currency Markets
The foreign exchange market has responded to the EU/IMF deal by reducing short euro positions. The latest IMM data showed that as of as of last Tuesday, March 23rd, the next speculative position was record short euros. The short-covering rally began before the weekend, with the euro recording a fresh low for the move just below $1.3270. The rally to $1.3425 on Friday has been surpassed by a full cent today. Additional position squaring seems likely over the next couple of days. The next target is near $1.3550-70. Dips to $1.3400-20 will likely be bought. Despite polls still showing the likelihood of a hung parliament, sterling is also benefiting from the unwinding of long dollar positions. Sterling briefly poked through the $1.50 level where it hit a wall of sellers. Provided initial support in the $1.4950 area holds, sterling can make another run toward $1.5025 and maybe even $1.51 over the next day or two. Meanwhile cross rate pressures and ideas that Japanese repatriation ahead of the fiscal year end is complete may have emboldened some yen sales. Japanese retail sales rose 0.9% in Feb for a 4.2% year-over-year pace. This is the fastest since 1997, but failed to trigger yen buying. Dollar support is seen in the JPY92.20-40 area and resistance seen last week in front of JPY93.00 may be vulnerable in the next couple of days.
The fact that the EU/IMF came up with a backstop for Greece has some other implications. For one, it showed a victory for the politicians over the central banks. Both the ECB and BBK seemed to back down from their opposition to a more substantive role for the IMF. Trichet's opposition and climb down is well documented. Less appreciated is the BBK's stance. In its monthly report released on March 22, the BBK noted: "The IMF's mandate stipulates that it may only use its foreign currency reserves to bridge short-term balances of payments deficit." Solving structural problems doesn't have a foreign exchange component. Second, what began as a Greek debt issue, morphed into a more serious institutional threat to EMU, which very well may require treaty modifications and greater institutional capacity. Third, some fissures have appeared in the German government, not just between the CDU and its smaller coalition partner the FDP, but also within the CDU. The schism between Merkel and Schaeuble may reflect a deeper debate about Germany's future role in Europe. Fourth, Fitch's downgrade of Portugal last week and today S&P reaffirmation its negative outlook for the UK (thought maintained the AAA rating) suggests that Europe's debt problems will likely continue to hang over the market.
US debt concerns have also risen in recent sessions. While it is tempting to dismiss last week's soft auction results as a one-off related to the proximity of the end of the quarter and fiscal year end, but there are a number of worrying signs that also may be encouraging the profit-taking on long dollar positions. Due to falling payroll taxes due to high unemployment means that Social Security will likely have to pay out more in benefits than it receives to the tune of almost $30 bln. A deficit was not expected until 2016. The other big issue in the US debt market is fact that the 10-year swap rate fell below the 10-year Treasury yield. This is seen as an unintended consequence of the huge supply of US Treasuries. The key economic report this week is the March jobs data. The consensus is near 200k. On top of that auto sales figures are expected to be strong as well (12 mln unit pace from 10.36 mln in Feb). The combination of a stronger jobs market and healthy consumption figures may make for a difficult environment for US bonds, but could give the dollar better support in the second half of the week. Separately, note that the swap rates in the UK have been below gilt rates since January. It is near -20 bp from around -10 bp prior to last week's budget.
Upcoming Economic Releases
The US reports personal income and consumption data for Feb. While personal income remains subdued, consumption is expected to have advanced around 0.3%. This would leave Q1 PCE tracking a slightly slower rate in Q4. Meanwhile, the core PCE deflator is expected to slip to 1.3% year-over-year from 1.4%.

Rick Scott's former lieutenant governor has a new "kiss and tell" (or maybe "kick and tell") book where she affirms most of what we already know: Rick Scott is a creepy, uncaring, cold, reptilian backstabber who despises minorities. The Scott campaign will no doubt start talking about sour grapes, but even if it was (and I doubt it is), they've heaped up enough plates of that themselves the past few years to not be able to escape hypocrisy.
I thought that was a bulletin worth sharing. A little later I'll have something special.

Well, well – more developments in the ongoing feud of Zakir Naik versus Malaysians everywhere.
Earlier today, the beleaguered televangelist issued what we can best describe as the public relations classic of "sorry if you were offended" mea culpa beloved of ego maniacs the world over.
Seemingly unaware that he had offended both Malaysian Muslims and non-Muslims alike, he told a video camera, and gave a statement, that he was saddened that his recent speech had caused non-Muslims to think of him as racist.
Instead, he countered that he was actually, in case you totally missed it, a man of peace.
"This is what the Qur'an stands for. It has been my mission to spread peace throughout the world," he said.
"Even though I have clarified myself, I feel I owe an apology to everyone who feels hurt because of this misunderstanding. I do not want any of you to harbor ill feelings towards me.
"It was never my intention to upset any individual or community. It is against the basic tenets of Islam, and I would like to convey my heartfelt apologies for this misunderstanding," he added.
Zakir maintains that his statements regarding Chinese Malaysians as "old guests" who should leave the country to make room for new guests such as himself, and that Malaysian Hindus were more loyal to Indian PM Narendra Modi than our own leader, were taken out of context.
We'd like to remind you that a video recording exists of the incident, in case you wanted a refresher:
Bearing this in mind, his statement continues:
"It worries me because the ones who are hurt have not heard my speeches but based their impressions on out-of-context quotes of me.
"That is a cause of concern for me because it brings harm to the image of Islam and serves to drive people away from it. Racism is an evil I am staunchly against, as is the Quran, and it is the exact opposite of everything I stand for as an Islamic preacher," he said.
"I would like to make a humble appeal to all of you, especially to the non-Muslims. Please take out time to listen to my speeches in their entirety," he said, before plugging his channel banned in India, Peace TV, along with their app.
Zakir may have to find more ways to drive traffic to his online rhetoric, as Malaysian police announced today that he is now barred from giving public talks anywhere in the country.
Police confirmed that the move was made "in the interest of national security, and to preserve racial harmony."
Yesterday, we reported that seven states – Melaka, Johor, Selangor, Penang, Kedah, Perlis and Sarawak – had all banned the controversial televangelist, with Sarawak denying him entry to the state all together.
Zakir is a Malaysian permanent resident, having been granted the status by the previous administration, and was already a controversial guest before his inflammatory statements caused Malaysians far and wide to demand his removal.
Several high-profile ministers have joined these calls, and Zakir has responded to their criticisms by filing police reports against Human Resources Minister M. Kulasegaran, Bagan Dalam assemblyman Satees Muniandy, former ambassador Dennis Ignatius and Klang MP Charles Santiago. Serving them with legal paperwork, he is demanding they retract and apologize for their statements.
A hero of our time, LGBTQ+ supporting, child marriage hatin', Klang MP Charles Santiago has said that he stands by his statements, and welcomes any action by Zakir "to enable [him] to justify and prove to the court that his speech in Kelantan is highly toxic, inflammatory and could cause religious and racial unrest in our multicultural society.
I have received a letter of demand from Dr. Zakir Naik's lawyer claiming that I have defamed him.
I hereby reiterate that I stand by my statement and will not tender any apologies to Dr. Naik.https://t.co/8MQvrhm03e
— Charles Santiago (@mpklang) August 19, 2019
Meanwhile, India has had warrants out for Zakir's arrest since 2016, alleging money laundering and hate speech intended to incite extremism.
One thing's for certain — this guy REALLY does not want to go back to India.

This week People Create were in Geneva, Switzerland spending two days with an IT security team in their new "state of the art" offices, equipped with its very own Situation Room bunker, interactive walls and all manner of clever devices.
They are already a team that is working well together and refreshingly, rather than resting on their laurels, they are keen to "future proof" their performance as they expand and develop. As they consider adopting an agile approach to their work, the team is keen to build competency in the underpinning leadership and team behaviours that typify excellent Scrum teams and that will ensure their resilience as they evolve.
These first two days with the team were all about observing groups and individuals in their meetings, getting to know them better and starting to understand some of the underlying dynamics and personalities in the room.
From here we will work with them to create a leadership context where an agile approach can flourish; one built on flattening the hierarchy, improving communication skills, creating safe feedback loops and nurturing trust in a rapidly changing environment.
It was heartening to hear them reference Ken Schwaber, software developer and pioneer of the Scrum framework, in acknowledging the deep need for non-judgemental, open dialogue:
"No good news or bad news, just transparency"
All too often, we observe teams in dialogue, particularly in competency-driven environments, where the opposite is true; a rush to judgment, a need to be right or to defend a position, which does little to create the psychological safety necessary for sustainable high performance.
We work with a number of clients who take an agile approach and, in our experience, the ones who really make it fly are those who take the underpinning behavioural principles seriously and work hard to get these right as they establish their new ways of working.
If you are curious to know more about high-performance teams and how we work to support an agile approach, please just get in touch.

Mergers and acquisitions are sweeping through the U.S. health care system, largely driven by the needs of clinical business. At such a time, protecting the capacity to advance medical knowledge through research needs careful attention, according to Richard J. Bookman, Ph.D., associate professor of molecular and cellular pharmacology and former executive dean for research and vice provost for research at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine.
"There are both dangers and opportunities in these mergers and acquisitions," said Bookman, who was co-author of a viewpoint article, "Advancing the Research Mission in a Time of Mergers and Acquisitions," published September 25 in the Journal of the American Medical Association. "One danger is that research could get pushed off to the side in a large-scale clinical business. But there is also an exciting opportunity to broaden the base and increase the diversity of both the research team and the participant population. Those can be very significant benefits to an academic medical center, especially as we move toward a data-driven health system."
Paul J. Hauptman, M.D., professor of internal medicine and assistant dean for clinical and translational research at Saint Louis University School of Medicine, was lead author of the JAMA article, and Stephen Heinig, M.A., director of science policy for the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington, D.C., was co-author.
"Many academic health centers today are wrestling with issues we faced in acquiring Cedars Medical Center [now University of Miami Hospital]," said Bookman. "Bringing a culture of investigation and clinical research to a community hospital is a big job, and we wanted to suggest some steps for other academic institutions to consider."
Academic centers would do well to pick their partners carefully, Bookman said. "Listen carefully to their views on research and see if the development of new medical knowledge will be a shared goal," he added. "With good leadership, a merger or acquisition can bring the community health care workforce into the knowledge creation practice, sharing their ideas and perspectives on clinical trials and the science of care delivery."
For community hospitals and health systems, a merger or acquisition can create business, operational and branding benefits, such as building a reputation for clinical research that brings meaningful improvements to its patients, Bookman said.
Reflecting on the threats and opportunities offered by mergers and acquisitions, Bookman and his co-authors said in their article, "Ultimately, systems that succeed will do so on the basis of the benefits that accrue from the knowledge gained and the continued growth and development of a workforce of health care professionals dedicated to the advancement of human health."

Maricopa County reports its 1st death of statewide hepatitis A outbreak
PHOENIX – Maricopa County has recorded its first death related to the ongoing statewide hepatitis A outbreak, authorities said Tuesday.
The death was the third in Arizona since the outbreak started in November.
"This individual was included in the populations at highest risk for hepatitis A in our Maricopa County outbreak," Dr. Rebecca Sunenshine, county medical director for disease control, told KTAR News 92.3 FM.
"The individuals at highest risk are those who use drugs or other substances, people who are experiencing unstable housing or homelessness, and those who are or were recently in jail or prison."
Anyone in those groups should get the hepatitis A vaccine, which is 95% effective after one dose, Sunenshine said. Vaccinations are available at the three Maricopa County Public Health Immunization clinics as well as multiple partner facilities.
"Maricopa County is working closely with all of its community and government partners to make hepatitis A vaccine available to those at highest risk, and we want to make sure that anyone who is at risk knows the importance of getting hepatitis A vaccine," she said.
As of Tuesday, there had been 424 cases in the state and 216 in Maricopa County since the start of the outbreak, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services website.
"This is a large outbreak, but this is the first individual who has died from this outbreak in Maricopa County," Sunenshine said.
Although rarely fatal, hepatitis A is a serious illness that can affect the liver. During the current outbreak, 80% of the patients have been hospitalized.
Symptoms include nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, vomiting, fatigue, fever, abdominal pain, dark-colored urine, light or whitish bowel movements and jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes).
"Hepatitis A is spread by not washing your hands after using the bathroom and then getting the germs into the mouth," Sunenshine said.
"The best way to prevent it is to wash your hands after you use the bathroom, before you eat and before you prepare food."
On July 1, the county health department issued a warning about potential exposure to hepatitis A at the Genghis Grill in Tempe Marketplace for specific dates in May and June.
Sunenshine said there haven't been any confirmed cases related to the restaurant exposure.
KTAR News 92.3 FM's Nailea Leon contributed to this report.

NicoNicoDouga recently got up a new bit of Satellaview radio programming. I figured I'd put it up here, along with a little something else I found that's related to it.
A frequent recurring radio host on the Satellaview's "Super Famicom Hour" was called the "Game Tiger". I'm not quite sure who or what that's meant to be, but the show features a lot of discussion.
This one, apparently a "Special", makes frequent references to the Nintendo 64. When you think about it, it must be sad for these guys to have to advertise the console that was meant to usurp them. Well, at least the Satellaview lasted longer than Randnet did.
Also, a little bonus! The Starfox song in the beginning? I think it sounds fairly much like this:

K is for Kelly's Chocolate Chip CookiesSeptember 12th, 2013 4:07 pm by mad mags
With no fewer than six different chocolate chip cookie recipes (not to mention a chocolate chip cookie cake!), you'd think that it would have been difficult for me to choose just one from The Vegan Cookie Connoisseur switch herunterladen. Alas, it was a no-brainer: I went with Kelly (Peloza's) Chocolate Chip Cookies, since I belong to the not-so-elite club of Kellys, too. (Growing up there were at least half a dozen other Kellys in my grade fortnite playstation 3. Half of them were also Kelly Anns!)
A veganized version of a cookie Kelly enjoyed in her childhood, this is a chocolate chip cookie unlike any other I've tried netflix serienen app. It's light and airy, and basically bakes as-is: the cookies don't expand at all in the oven.
At first I was concerned that the tops of the cookies didn't bake all the way through – they seemed a little soft and chewy, like cookie batter – but they firmed up well enough overnight smart notebook herunterladen. Still, next time I think I might shoot for smaller cookies, and flatten them down with the palm of my hand before baking. These are some super-thick cookies, since they more or less retain their original shape camtasia studio 8 kostenlos vollversion downloaden.
Either way, super-tasty, much like every other recipe I've tried from this book amigos babylon kostenlosen. If you like cookies – and c'mon, let's face it, you know you do! – you should totally give it a try.
Next on my to-do list: the Soft Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies excel 2010 gratis downloaden. Or maybe the Root Beer Float Cookies. SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!

Mutant Extension Cord
Hey, stuff happens.
From websites:
Double-ended extension cord has two 6-foot arms each with three polarized outlets, letting you plug in up to six appliances — use two and plug in a dozen.
Excellent for hard-to-reach areas, tight spaces behind sofas and beds, and rooms with insufficient outlets.
Indoor use only.

Great idea, but they should have made the male plug into the wall a right angle plug. ( flush to the wall).

Collaborative Cardiac Care for Cancer Patients and Survivors
With the success of modern cancer therapies, cancer survivorship has been significantly improved over the past two decades. However, many such patients may suffer from acute or late cardiovascular (CV) toxicities as a result of chemotherapy. CV toxicities not only contribute to cardiac morbidity and mortality, but also significantly impede the ability to deliver life-saving cancer treatments. Heart failure is the most common form of late CV toxicity with associated one-year mortality as high as 45% in the elderly population, an outcome worse than many types of cancers. The key to prevent the development of overt heart failure is early detection of CV toxicity and provision of cardio-protective therapy.
The Cardio-Oncology Program at St. Francis Hospital – a collaboration between Department of Cardiac Imaging and the Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital – is one of a few programs in New York State that brings the expert cardiologist into the oncology field in order to provide optimal cardiovascular care for cancer patients during and after treatment.
The missions of our program are to:
- Identify patients with existing CV conditions, or who are at risk for developing CV toxicity prior to chemo, and provide close monitoring and early intervention.
- Utilize advanced imaging modalities – including 2D, 3D echocardiography, strain analysis, and/or cardiac MRI and biomarkers – to identify patients at early stage of CV toxicity and provide continuum of care for these patients.
- Provide care for patients who present with heart failure following traditional treatments including anthracyclines, radiation, and newer agents such as trastuzumab and tyrosine kinase inhibitors.
- Provide cardiac care for the patient with systemic amyloidosis.
In addition to serving patients from the Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital, we are accepting referrals from all other hospitals and local oncology practices. After being referred to the Cardio-Oncology Program, each patient will meet with our cardiologist for a comprehensive consultation and evaluation. Following the evaluation, which may include cardiac imaging and laboratory tests including pro-BNP and troponin to further define a patient's CV condition, an individualized monitoring and treatment plan will be developed based on the type of anticancer treatments and CV condition.
In addition, our patients have access to many resources at SFH, including experts throughout the fields of cardiovascular medicine including cardiac imaging, heart failure, cardiac surgery, vascular surgery, and other specialties.

Today, March 7th, 2013 indigenous peoples across Peru are protesting peacefully in solidarity with their 53 indigenous brothers facing hearings after the June 2009 confrontation in Bagua, a town in the Amazonas region of the Peruvian Amazon. Current AIDESEP (Peruvian Amazonian Indigenous Federation) president, Alberto Pizango Chota is one of those facing possible trial. The sentences are for 30 years to life imprisonment, and according to indigenous leaders, are a clear example of the Peruvian government´s criminalization of indigenous protests.
In 2008, Peruvian president, Alan Garcia, after calling indigenous peoples manger dogs (perros de hortelano), who guard the garden without allowing anyone to use its resources, passed the Law of the Jungle, opening up the Peruvian Amazon to transnational corporations. This sparked over one year of protests, opposition and civil disobedience, until in June of 2009, Garcia called for a state of emergency, and sent the Peruvian military to Bagua to stop protests. The military intervention resulted in two days of bloody confrontations, where at least 30 people were killed, 23 of which were police. According to Amazon Watch, over 600 police attacked unarmed indigenous peoples who were peacefully protesting. Police were also accused of burning bodies to hide actual death counts.
Now, four years later, the government of Peru is intent on sending these indigenous leaders to a lifetime in prison. Indigenous allies are demanding that the true culprits of Bagua, former President Alan Garcia, former Interior Minister Mercedes Cabanillas, former Prime Minister Yehude Simon and former head of Foreign Trade, Mercedes Araoz be sentenced instead.
Results of whether or not a trial will take place are expected to be announced later today. Thousands of indigenous peoples in Bagua are awaiting results, dressed in their typical guerrero (warrior) dress. There are talks that if the court sentences these leaders, another Bagua could occur.
In Pucallpa, ORAU, the Ucayali branch of AIDESEP, and its 14 indigenous federations, held protests in the morning, blocking the streets of Pucallpa. Alianza Arkana supported the protest by providing transportation expenses for those involved.
