Working through COVID-19
Mental Health Resources
A PAC, or Political Action Committee, is a fund connected to an institution or organization such as NCRA by membership but separately maintained for specific politically related functions. A PAC enables individuals to collectively support and elect persons to office whom they believe will champion their cause. In NCRA's case, we help to support federal politicians who will keep the court reporting and captioning professions in mind when drafting and voting on legislation.
Most members of NCRA and their spouses can give to NCRA PAC. We use the term "Most" because not all members of NCRA can contribute. You must be a United States citizen; therefore, our international members are excluded. However, NCRA staff members at NCRA headquarters in Virginia ARE allowed to contribute.
The basic rule is that voting members of NCRA who work in the court reporting and captioning professions and their spouses are able to contribute; although, there are some exceptions to the FEC Rules.
NCRA PAC works to further court reporters' and captioners' interests on Capitol Hill. It does this via contributions to federal campaigns. Members of Congress who are friendly towards NCRA's mission receive contributions to their campaigns from NCRA PAC. In fact, NCRA PAC's record for success in helping to elect or re-elect these court reporter-minded lawmakers is over 90 percent! That means during the 2016 elections over 90% of the federal campaigns to which NCRA PAC contributed won election or re-election.
A PAC may accept up to $5,000 per year from any one individual. It is important to note that this amount is per individual, and that a spouse can donate $5,000 as well, even if only one person in the household has an income.
A contribution to a PAC is not tax-deductible. Because it is a political contribution and not a charitable one, the Federal Election Commission (FEC) does not allow a PAC contribution to be deducted.
No. Because NCRA PAC is a membership-based PAC, we can only accept contributions from our members, and cannot accept contributions from business accounts. Members must contribute through their personal accounts.
NCRA PAC only survives by the generosity of its contributors. Although NCRA PAC greatly appreciates a contribution of any size, the more funds our PAC has, the stronger and more influential it is on Capitol Hill. NCRA encourages members to give what they can, when they can. We must continue to develop and maintain NCRA's contacts, relationships, and allies on Capitol Hill. Unfortunately, it is not a one-time contribution to a campaign that will do this job, rather continuous support from NCRA that builds and solidifies relationships.
Your contribution to NCRA PAC is deposited directly into NCRA's PAC account. Checks are then issued to select Members of Congress that fit into the giving strategy created by NCRA's Government Relations Department. We target Members of Congress that sit on pertinent committees that affect our issues, have the power to pass our legislation, or have been continuous supporters or advocates for the court reporting profession. NCRA is a bipartisan organization so NCRA PAC gives to candidates from all parties. The candidate committee that accepts PAC funds from NCRA PAC must deposit the money into their candidate PAC which is regulated and monitored closely by the FEC to ensure that the dollars are spent appropriately on their political campaign and not used for unethical or illegal purposes.
NCRA PAC is governed by the NCRA PAC Governing Board which in turn is governed by NCRA's Board of Directors. Jocelynn Moore, Director, State Government Relations, reports to the PAC Governing Board with recommendations from NCRA's Government Relations Department. NCRA PAC depends on two channels to direct its activities, the PAC Governing Board and NCRA's Government Relations Department. The PAC Governing Board decides on many broad projects, fundraising efforts, and initiatives to grow NCRA PAC. NCRA's Government Relations Department solidifies decisions concerning the direction of funds since they are our legislative experts hired to work with Congress on a daily basis. The Government Relations Department is responsible for ensuring our issues are heard and important bills are passed. They are the individuals who know the Members of Congress who would be most amenable to our positions. Both the Governing Board and the Government Relations Department welcome input concerning Members of Congress whom you would like us to consider supporting. NCRA PAC is your tool to influence Congress, and it is our sincere hope that you learn how to utilize this tool.
To learn more about NCRA PAC explore our website or contact our Government Relations Department.

How to Get the Car Ready Before the Holidaysadmin
Is Your Car Ready for the Holiday Road Trip?
We recommend that you check the following elements of your vehicle before going on the road:
- Wheel pressure: check that your wheels have the pressure recommended by the manufacturer, depending on the load of the car, both passengers and luggage. The more loaded the vehicle goes, the more pressure they will require. Remember that this must always be measured with cold tires. Also, check that your tires are in good condition, with at least a depth of 1.6 millimeters in the drawing. If the wheels are very worn and you are going to travel long distances it is advisable to change them before leaving, to avoid scares, since the more deteriorated the tires, the less grip they will offer.
- Oil levels: with the engine cold, open the bonnet of the car and remove the oil rod. Clean it with a paper and reinsert it into the conduit, to remove it and check that the oil level is correct. If it is necessary to increase the oil level, check the type that your car needs in the manufacturer's instructions and buy a bottle at any gas station.
- Also check the brake pedal. It should show tension to the touch and not be soft. If you have doubts about the condition of the discs or brake pads, go to Car Detailing Services for a general review.
- Cooling fluid and windscreen wiper water: with the hood open, check that the fluid levels are correct. The cooling, to avoid excessive heating of the engine and water to keep the windshield clean and, therefore, a correct visibility.
- Check the lights: make sure all the headlights work to travel with total peace of mind at night. Flashers, brakes, position, crossing and long lights.
- Review the papers: check that you have all the documentation in order in the glove compartment of the vehicle, to avoid setbacks in case the authorities require them on the road.
- Check your emergency equipment: signaling triangles, spare wheel, vests and a set of spare lights. In case of incident on the road, they will guarantee your safety and that of yours.
If your car already has a good number of kilometers and you do not usually check the condition of its basic components, we recommend that before the holidays you go to the workshop for a general review. If you are going to travel to hot destinations recharge the air conditioning and clean the filters to ensure a more comfortable family trip. It is worth making a small investment of this kind to avoid scares and unpleasant incidents that can disrupt our family rest days.

Venezuela has extensive heavy oil reserves, and increasingly, no way of treating it. It's not a feedstock that can just get thrown into any refinery. Platts Venezuelan correspondent Mery Mogollon discusses that particular problem–one of many–in this week's Oilgram News column, At the Wellhead.
Venezuela is producing more extra heavy crude in its oil fields in the Orinoco Belt region than it can process in the four "upgraders" that were built more than a decade ago. The upgraders were built by foreign oil companies and have a combined capacity of 630,000 b/d, or 51% of the actual aggregated output.
With 297 billion barrels in proved and probable reserves covering more than 55,000 square kilometers in Venezuela's southeast, the Orinoco Belt is one of the world's greatest oil repositories. But a lack of investment in recent years has stressed its refining, upgrading and transport infrastructure and is impeding increases in output.
"The upgraders are at their limit. We are producing a lot of diluted crude oil, or extra heavy oil that is mixed with naphtha, which is why we need to resolve the bottlenecks with the upgraders and expand their capacity with our present partners or with new ones," said Rafael Ramirez, who is both president of state-owned PDVSA and the nation's petroleum and mining minister. He spoke this month before international oil executives in Caracas.
Upgraders are plants that heat and dehydrate heavy oil, improve its quality, and also mix in naphtha or lighter crude to make the tar-like substance transportable and ready to process by traditional refineries.

|Oilgram News brings fast-breaking global petroleum and gas news to your desktop every day. Our extensive global network of correspondents report on supply and demand trends, corporate news, government actions, exploration, technology, and much more.
In addition to the limited upgrading capacity, Venezuela's output is also being held back by insufficient volumes of naphtha. Refineries in Venezuela are not capable of producing it in adequate quantities, obliging PDVSA to import the product at market prices.
"We're going to build naphtha capacity while we construct the new upgraders," Ramirez said in his presentation. PDVSA's mid-term investment plan involves six new upgraders and two new refineries.
New upgraders and more naphtha capacity are the most urgent priorities in Ramirez's new strategy for slowing the fall in petroleum production, which officially has been put at 3 million b/d. But Venezuela's public pronouncements concerning output are roundly rejected by industry analysts, many of whom estimate that production is closer to the 2.3 million b/d that was Platts' most recent estimate as of September.
The decline in reserves of conventional, lighter crudes, of which Venezuela has proven reserves totaling 20 billion barrels, has obliged PDVSA to concentrate on developing the Orinoco Belt, where oil is as heavy as 8.5 API with high heavy metal and acid content.
The special handling also has boosted the cost of production in the Belt to an average $10/barrel, plus an upgrading cost of $30/b, still a very competitive cost level compared with other global producers.
But the new projects, in which PDVSA has reserved for itself a majority equity interest of 60%, have moved at a snail's pace. However, Ramirez has not changed Venezuela's overall production target of reaching 6 million b/d by 2019, of which 4 million b/d would be coming from the Orinoco Belt.
"The fastest way is that existing upgraders (Petromonagas, Petropiar, Petrocedeño y Petroanzoátegui) begin to receive petroleum from other production areas. So we need to expand the installed capacity of those upgraders to build up the production," Ramirez explained.
To increase capacity of upgraders and production facilities in the Belt, PDVSA is forecasting investment of $23 billion over the next seven years.
"All that has been done so far has been with PDVSA's own resources, but from now on the mixed ventures have to assume a greater participation, because production is their responsibility. They will have greater autonomy with respect to PDVSA decisions and all will have to come to PDVSA with their own financing means. The idea is, just do it!"
PDVSA is majority partner in 33 mixed ventures, seven of which are in the Orinoco Belt, where companies including Chevron, Repsol, ENI, Rosneft, Total, Statoil and CNPC are participating.
According to the PDVSA business plan covering 2013-2019, the eight new projects in the Orinoco Belt will require $108.3 billion in investment in production facilities, a figure that represents 80% of the company's total investment over that period.
Within the new strategy to realize these investments, Ramirez has promised investors to create more advantageous fiscal and trade conditions while reducing bureaucracy to accelerate the project permit processing.
For independent economist Alexander Guerrero, the problem with PDVSA isn't the upgraders' capacity, but the fact that direct investment in the petroleum industry has dropped each year since 1999 by an average 7.5% when figuring that investment as a percentage of economic output.
"Any recovery in production will take a while, because of the decapitalization and disinvestment in PDVSA," Guerrero said. "In light of this, there is no economic reason to think oil output can increase immediately."–Mery Mogollon in Caracas

Abrupt climate change could follow collapse of Earth's oceanic conveyor belt – environmentalresearchweb
A new study, co-authored by Zhengyu Liu, professor of atmospheric and oceanic science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, shows Earth's oceanic conveyor belt, the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), could collapse as carbon dioxide levels rise and lead to abrupt climate change.
The study, led by Liu's former graduate student, Wei Liu (no relation), was published on Jan. 4, 2017 in Science Advances. The collapse would occur about 300 years after Earth's carbon dioxide levels double compared to 1990 levels.
The AMOC is responsible for the circulation of Earth's warm tropical waters to its poles, influencing ice sheets and weather in coastal regions of the world. Zhengyu explains that about 10 years ago, scientists began to realize the stability of AMOC, based on observations from sensors throughout the Atlantic Ocean, did not fit with predictions by existing climate models.

The Obama administration announced Thursday that the six year post-earthquake pause on the deportation of undocumented Haitian migrants will end, with deportations resuming in full. Thousands of Haitian migrants who have dangerously made their way to the San Diego border crossing in the last year are now facing deportation. The Obama administration claims there has been sufficient progress in Haiti to warrant the change in policy, but political stability, and therefore the safety of repatriated migrants, is already questionable and could deteriorate quickly depending on what happens in the upcoming elections on October 9th. This policy change also leaves thousands of Haitians currently en route to the US-Mexico border in dangerous limbo in the hands of non-sympathetic Central American governments.

U.S. shifts Haiti deportation policy, and gives a warning
Jacqueline Charles, Miami Herald
September 22, 2016
The U.S. Department of Homeland and Security has a warning to undocumented Haitians enroute to its southwestern border with Mexico — turn around. Otherwise, you will be deported back to Haiti.
After a six-year moratorium on deportations to the earthquake-scarred country, the Obama administration is resuming them, citing "improved conditions in Haiti" since the devastating Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake and "a significant increase in Haitians arriving at the Southwest border in San Diego, Calif."
"The United States has recently witnessed a sharp increase in the number of Haitian nationals taking dangerous smuggling routes to apply for admission to our country in the San Diego, California, area without advance authorization," said an official with DHS, which announced the policy shift Thursday.
In fiscal year 2015, the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol only apprehended 339 Haitians at the San Ysidro Port of Entry, the world's busiest border crossing, officials said. But that number jumped sharply from Oct. 1, 2015, to Sept. 4, with officials processing more than 5,000 Haitians at the California entry point, overwhelming the facility, which is undergoing construction.
"Effective immediately, enforcement decisions with respect to Haitian nationals should be consistent with the practice regarding other nationalities," Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said.

High School Bands Join the March To Bush Inauguration
The Mighty Bull Dogs of Midland High School are coming to Washington to see that one of their own is ushered into the White House with the sweet sounds of Texas ringing in his ears.
As the parade marking the 54th presidential inauguration makes its way down Pennsylvania Avenue this Saturday, 187 of the students in the marching band from President-elect Bush's adopted Texas hometown plan to be in the lineup, trumpeting tunes like "The Yellow Rose of Texas," "Red River Valley," and "The Eyes of Texas."
But pulling together a perfect performance hasn't been easy. The Midland High School band didn't receive its official invitation to the quadrennial celebration until Jan. 3. Since then, students, parents, teachers, and community members have been scurrying to raise the $1,000 per student needed to make the trip. And the band has been using every spare minute to practice.
"I feel like I'm in a blender right now trying to get everything done," Gary Doherty, Midland High's band director, said last week. "This is a 24-hour-a-day proposition."
Such is the case for many of the student groups that have been asked to participate in the Jan. 20 festivities. Just as the final word on who would succeed President Clinton came much later than usual for a presidential election, so, too, did formal invitations to Inauguration Day. But organizers are optimistic that all the details will come together.
"I would say, with a few hitches, we're running as smoothly as these celebrations ever have," said Natalie Rule, a spokeswoman for the inaugural committee. "We kind of blew in here a little later than usual, but the process was already rolling."
Heart of Texas
Of all the student groups slated to perform in the inaugural celebration for the 43rd president, the musicians from Midland are sure to stand out, given that Mr. Bush spent part of his childhood in the West Texas city and attended Midland Freshman High School.
But the Mighty Bull Dogs aren't the only ones hoping to represent the 20,000-student Midland Independent School District in the inaugural parade; some 250 students from Robert E. Lee High School's Rebels marching band plan to join them in their musical tribute to Texas.
"Everyone's been holding their breath and hoping this would happen," Lee High band director Randy Storie said.
This will be the Robert E. Lee band's third performance in honor of a Republican president's inauguration. The Rebels were there in 1985 to celebrate the beginning of President Reagan's second term, and they performed again in 1989 at the request of President George Bush, the new president's father.
While three of the 20 high school bands invited to this year's celebration hail from Texas, the committee took care to invite student groups from a wide range of states—regardless of which presidential candidate they supported—in keeping with the day's theme, "Celebrating America's Spirit Together."
A magnet school choir from Louisville, Ky., received the honor this year of being the only student group asked to take part in the president-elect's swearing-in ceremony. The duPont Manual High School's Youth Performing Arts Choir was recommended to Mr. Bush by Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., a Manual High alumnus and the chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.
In addition to having won numerous awards for its performances, the choir has sung twice at Carnegie Hall in New York City and completed a concert tour of Central Europe last spring with performances in Vienna and Salzburg, Austria.
Manual High's vocal music teacher, David Brown, said his students were well on their way to meeting their fund-raising goal and were preparing to fill their 10 minutes in the ceremony with the strains of "America the Beautiful" and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic," among other arrangements.
"I am tired, but that's fine," said Mr. Brown, who plans to retire this year. "It's been quite a ride—we've been on television and in the newspapers. The community suddenly knows our school is here."

Your unofficial guide to television licence rules, regulations, loopholes and enforcement in the UK.
This blog is to highlight the unjust persecution of legitimate non-TV users at the hands of TV Licensing. These people do not require a licence and are entitled to live without the unnecessary stress and inconvenience caused by TV Licensing's correspondence and employees.
If you use equipment to receive live broadcast TV programmes, or to watch or download on-demand programmes via the BBC iPlayer, then the law requires you to have a licence and we encourage you to buy one.

TV Licensing: Playing the Victim Card
5 comments:
I do wonder if this PR campaign and the previous one saying how many students and young people have been caught not paying the TV tax is the start of a BBC plot to say the TV tax is now basically uncollectible due to the intransigent of the UK public, and so the only way forward is to have a Household Levy. The BBC are going to argue this case throughout the Charter Review so I would expect more such nonsense to be cooked up by TV Licensing over the coming months.
- 4 November 2015 at 04:12
They can have whatever tax or levy they want. I don't watch broadcast tv so if they think they'll be getting any round coins off me then they can get fooked.
- 4 November 2015 at 18:18
I got this letter today
I don't own a business, or a television. They can't get even the simplest things right.
- 5 November 2015 at 17:17
@admin any chance to exchange public keys ?
- 5 November 2015 at 20:09
It's interesting that all the media outlets that have run with the story use the phrase 'TV Licensing Officers' thus perpetuating the myth that these people have some sort of 'official' standing. None of them mention Capita. Really, they should be called 'BBC Tax Wardens' as they are employed by a contractor for the BBC to collect a tax on viewing broadcast TV.

Podcast Question of the Week – Episode 57
It's time for another great Question of the Week! This week, we're focusing on the somewhat questionable actions of the Hogwarts gamekeeper.
In Chapter 19, Hagrid shows the dragons for the First Task to both Harry and Madame Maxime. He shows Harry to help him succeed in the First Task, and he shows Maxime to help his wooing efforts, which in turn helps Fleur gain knowledge of the dragons. But we want to know – for whom is Hagrid doing this more? Is he most motivated to help Harry, or is he primarily focused on Madame Maxime and just sees a chance to also help Harry in the process?
Let us know what you think, either below or by sending in an audio clip (use the record button just to the right! –> ) and you might hear your response on next week's episode!

Today, Minister for Transport and City Services Meegan Fitzharris says following the community's clear endorsement of the ACT Government's plan to deliver a light rail network for Canberra, tenders open today to get stage two planning underway.
Fitzharris says: "With stage one well underway, we are excited to continue the important work of delivering the light rail network.
"Stage two will link the city to Woden and builds on the ACT Government's commitment to deliver a world-class public transport system, with light rail at the heart of the network. It is a city-shaping project.

"We need expert partners who understand and can work through the complex engineering, commercial and community aspects of the project," says Fitzharris.

EPOCHS Program Wins 'Examples of Excelencia' Award
Program Creates Supportive Community for Underrepresented Graduate Students
Sept. 22, 2016
There is more to Cal State Fullerton's EPOCHS program than increasing the number of Hispanic students who complete a graduate degree. It creates a community that provides support and guidance so that students — including those who are underrepresented and disadvantaged — can see their educational goals succeed.
"It makes us feel welcome," says Maria Salazar, a graduate student studying Spanish. "It gives us a chance to connect with people. I'm thankful for that."
In the six years since its inception, Enhancing Postbaccalaureate Opportunities at Cal State Fullerton for Hispanic Students, or EPOCHS, has increased the number of Hispanic graduate students from 691 to 1,091. It also has created a setting that empowers such students as they move forward in pursuing their advanced degrees.
In recognition of its achievements, EPOCHS has been recognized by Excelencia in Education!, a national initiative to systematically identify and promote evidenced-based programs and departments effectively boosting Latino enrollment, performance and education.
EPOCHS is this year's recipient of the "Examples of Excelencia" Award for graduate-level institutions. The award was presented Wednesday at a Washington, D.C., awards ceremony, where Katherine Powers, program director and director of graduate studies at CSUF, spoke.
"For many, they are the first in their families to enroll in postsecondary education. They are unaware of how to navigate the system," said Powers. "They worry about how to fund their schooling, how to juggle work, school and family while working and, sometimes, feel they 'don't belong' in a master's or doctoral program."
Through EPOCHS — and its sister program, SOAR (Strengthening Opportunities, Access and Resources) — we have created a campus culture promoting postbaccalaureate education," added Powers. "More importantly, we make sure that they feel like they belong and that they can succeed."
"It's not just going to school and taking classes and then you're done," said Jeanette Hernandez, working toward a master's degree in psychology. With EPOCHS, "you feel a little more invested in college … It makes the experience more enjoyable."
The program provides graduate learning specialists, workshops to enhance and enrich participants' experience and skill sets, staff who are there to provide support and assistance, and faculty mentoring. It also offers monetary support for research projects required by some university degree programs.

The Game actress Tae Heckard is fighting on behalf of many mom's by sharing breastfeeding photos online with the hashtag #normalizebreastfeeding.
Heckard has been sharing photos of her son Brandon, who she affectionately calls Deuce, breastfeeding while the pair are out and about.
On Friday, the actress also posted a mommy-son collage of breastfeeding moments, writing, "HEY GURL HEY #normalizebreastfeeding."
Heckard is one of many celebs who've been upfront about the realities of breastfeeding. Back in November, Blac Chyna also shared a photo while breastfeeding daughter Dream. And, stars like Thandie Newton, Tamera Mowry-Housley, Kelly Rowland, and Kandi Burruss have shared their experiences as well.
Breastfeeding is a common part of motherhood and we're happy Heckard is fighting to normalize it.

Brake backs calls for changes to how we are deemed "fit to drive" after inquiry finds crash that killed six people could have been prevented
8th December 2015
Brake, the road safety charity
• Investigation into a bin-lorry crash in Glasgow, which killed six people and injured 17, finds numerous things could have been done to prevent it.
• Sheriff finds eight "reasonable precautions", all related to the driver's health, could have been taken but weren't, and makes 19 recommendations.
Brake is welcoming recommendations made by a court in Glasgow, which heard a horrific crash involving a bin lorry just before Christmas last year could and should have been prevented. It's also calling for changes to the law, including increased penalties and prosecutions for drivers who fail to declare medical conditions.
Driver Harry Clarke, then aged 57, lost control of the lorry when he fainted due to a medical condition. The vehicle mounted a pavement, busy with pedestrians and Christmas shoppers, killing six people, including two grandparents and their granddaughter. It later emerged Mr Clarke had suffered a similar episode while driving in a previous job, but this had not been disclosed to his new employer, Glasgow City Council.
Brake is supporting a number of recommendations made at yesterday's hearing by Sheriff John Beckett – they included:
• Much greater awareness-raising by the DVLA to the medical profession of the dangers and implications of medical conditions for fitness-to-drive.
• Stronger investigations by the DVLA when they are given information by a third party that someone may not be fit to drive.
• The consideration of changes to the law, including increased penalties and prosecutions for drivers who fail to declare medical conditions.
Link to Sheriff's full recommendations
Gary Rae, director of communications and campaigns for Brake, the road safety charity, said: This was a horrendous tragedy. We now know that it was entirely preventable, which adds further heartache for the bereaved families. We fully support the recommendations made by the Sheriff. We urge all drivers to ensure they fully disclose any medical condition that prevents them driving safely to the DVLA, or the DVA in Northern Ireland. We recently backed draft strengthened guidelines for doctors from the General Medical Council on reporting medically "unfit" drivers to the driver agencies, but it's clear more action needs to be taken, some at government level, to stop another tragedy like this from happening again.
About Brake
Brake is a national road safety charity, founded in 1995, that exists to stop the needless deaths and serious injuries that happen on roads every day, make streets and communities safer for everyone, and care for families bereaved and injured in road crashes. Brake promotes road safety awareness, safe and sustainable road use, and effective road safety policies. We do this through national campaigns, community education, services for road safety professionals and employers, and by coordinating the UK's flagship road safety event every November, Road Safety Week. Brake is a national, government-funded provider of support to families and individuals devastated by road death and serious injury, including through a helpline and support packs.
Follow Brake on Twitter, Facebook, or The Brake Blog.
Road crashes are not accidents; they are devastating and preventable events, not chance mishaps. Calling them accidents undermines work to make roads safer, and can cause insult to families whose lives have been torn apart by needless casualties.

Wayne Shorter Quartet | 2015 Earshot Jazz Festival
October 12th, 2015
Danilo Pérez, Wayne Shorter, John Patitucci and Brian Blade.
Sunday night the 2015 Earshot Jazz Festival presented one of the best performances of the year at Benaroya Hall, the Wayne Shorter Quartet.
One of the most influential saxophonists and composers in the pantheon of modern music, let alone jazz, Wayne Shorter has an outstanding record of professional achievement in his historic career as a musician. Regarded as a pioneer since his emergence in the 1950s, his trajectory has restlessly embodied continual exploration and unencumbered momentum. A generation of musicians and fans see and hear him as a humble master who created a timeless vocabulary – as vital as it is unbound.
His long-running quartet features pianist Danilo Pérez, bassist John Patitucci, and drummer Brian Blade. Reviews of the group's live performances are exercises in superlative overload. Calling it "the most skillful, mutually attuned and fearlessly adventurous small jazz group on the planet," The Guardian said that the quartet "celebrates humanity's hope for harmony."
Shorter won in three categories of the 2014 Jazz Journalists Association Jazz Awards, taking honors for Musician of the Year; Record of the Year for his quartet's searing Blue Note release, Without A Net; and the Wayne Shorter Quartet was named top Midsize Ensemble of the Year.
If the prolific composer had never written a single tune, his signature sound and choice of notes, sense of economy and unparalleled expression on both tenor and soprano saxes would have earmarked him for greatness. Combine the writing prowess with the fragmented, probing solos and the enigmatic Buddhist philosopher presence and you have the makings of a jazz immortal.

Vintage Belt (Similar HERE) // Rayban Sunglasses
Happy Monday everyone! How was your weekend? We had friends from home visiting this weekend so it was a very fun one here in New York. I posted some of my 'going-out outfits' over on my Instagram (@retroflame) if you want to check them out. It was great to be a little more dressed up than usual! How amazing was the metallic blazer I wore Saturday night? I LOVE it!! ….& now that it's Monday again, it's back to the usual looks. This outfit is what I'm actually wearing as well today and I'm loving it! The oversized blazer was a Zara find, the belt is vintage and the wide leg trousers are a pair I've had for a few years now. But as always, I'll link some similar options below. I love these two silhouettes together and it's honestly such a comfy outfit. I love when outfits have a 'she means business' kinda feel to them and this is exactly what this one is ;) (p.s. check out my Snapchat – retroflame1 – for a styling trick).
So today I hit 100,000 followers over on Instagram & I figured it definitely deserved a little mention here on the blog. I'm the first to admit that in the grand scheme of things, I'm still a very small fish in a huge ocean of bloggers but no matter what the number is, what I'm proud of is the fact that I didn't take any short cuts to get there. In an industry where every second blogger is buying their way to the top, of course it could be very tempting to follow suit….but that feeling when you achieve something through hard work alone is a feeling you'll never beat. Of course the '100K' is amazing but in my eyes, it's the journey to that point that I'm proud of.
I still have a long way to go and so many more goals to reach, but I'm both excited & ready to keep working. I know every blogger probably says it but I genuinely feel like I have a community of people who follow me who TRULY have my back. It's so hard to explain, but I know I got lucky with the people who follow along. I've always known. Some have been there from the very beginning, some are new…but the community you all have formed is honestly the reason I keep working so hard to make sure you stick around. Where would I be without the #RetroFlameFam!? To the girl I met at an event here in NYC Wednesday night or the girl I met in EJ's while having brunch yesterday or the AMAZING amount of you who support my events & say hi when I'm at home in Ireland – you're what it's all about. A blogger could have a million followers but if he/she doesn't build and appreciate a community, then what's the point of it all.
So THANK YOU!!
…& if you decide to stick around for the next 100K (fingers crossed), here are some things I promise to always be:
1. Bluntly Honest
If I don't love something, I will say NO to the brand deal. Yes it would be great to have that money to put towards my painfully expensive NYC rent. But I won't do it. If I wouldn't buy a product/item myself, you can be full sure I won't tell you to.
2. Myself
I promise to always be myself. Always. Yes, I live in NYC & have created a life I've always dreamed of from scratch here but I'll never not be the Erika Fox who comes from a small village in Kerry. That Erika who still lives for a Christmas night out in Killarney over a fancy event here in New York. Of course, I'm always growing as a person, but you can be sure it will still always be the same message. The harder you work, the luckier you get. No shortcuts, no pretending to be something/someone else, no fakeness – just me + hard work. In everything I do, I promise to keep driving home that message and hopefully help some of you to achieve your dreams too.
3. Present
…& finally, if you ask me a question, or give me a suggestion, I promise to listen. It all comes back to community and how much I appreciate mine. It may take me a few hours/days to reply, but I WILL get back to you when I can. I promise to be present and be here for you. No matter how many followers I have. We're in this together & we're only getting started.
Thank you SO much for reading & here's to the next set of goals!

Are employers willing to let their accounting and finance professionals pursue continuing professional education (CPE) opportunities while on the clock? Not so much, it seems, according to a new survey from recruitment firm Robert Half Finance & Accounting.
Only 26 percent of managers report that their organizations allow their accounting and finance teams to fulfill CPE requirements at work, and another 24 percent say it depends on the employee.
That leaves 50 percent of managers who say their firms rarely or never let their staff take classes during business hours.
"Businesses do themselves a disservice by prohibiting employees from taking CPE courses during company time," Paul McDonald, senior executive director at Robert Half, said in a written statement. "Webinars, seminars, and online courses, some as short as 10 minutes, allow professionals to earn the needed credits and help their employers by staying on the cutting edge of industry trends."
Investing time in staff members' ongoing professional education provides lasting benefits, McDonald added.
"The better informed your employees are, the fewer technical, compliance, and ethical mistakes they're likely to make," he said. "Moreover, a generous training program that includes allowing staff to obtain continuing education during work hours shows support for professional development and is a powerful recruitment and retention tool."
Accountants should follow the following four tips for requesting to earn CPE credits during the workday:
1. Be your own best advocate. Managers may need to be convinced to let employees take courses while at work. Build a business case for how the firm will benefit from the skills you'll acquire.
2. Start with small sessions. If your boss frowns on continuing education during work hours, choose sessions that can be scheduled during your lunch hour. Not sure where to start your search? Try the National Association of State Boards of Accountancy for more information on requirements and courses for each state.
3. Emphasize the big picture. Is there a gap in your team's knowledge base? Let your boss know how CPE classes will enable you to shore up those weaknesses and support the team.
4. Look at different options. While some CPE courses are online and others in-person, offerings from providers, including professional organizations, are evolving. For example, in some states, accountants can earn credits through a series of shorter events. Check with local professional associations to find opportunities that fit your needs.

Prophecy to TAOG Feb. 1. 1993
A prophecy was given to me on Monday, February 1, 1993, as a result of lamentations in petitioning the LORD for an answer to my firsthand knowledge of ongoing carnality leading to apostasy by the leaders at T.A.O G. Church. Though the sins of the leadership at this church birthed this prophecy, this Word from the LORD applies to all Church leaders who have chosen to be disobedient to the Word of GOD. The manner in which I received this prophecy made me understand that GOD, by the power of the HOLY SPIRIT uses the personality of the writer's soul and takes possession of the writer's mind, spirit, and physical motor abilities. I understand in prophecy what it means to
"beside" one's self
and that no prophecy comes by the will of man. ( 2 Cor. 5:13; 2 Peter 1:21)
This prophecy was sent to the
leaders at this church in February 1993 but they rejected it and refused to repent. This prophecy warning was fulfilled the following years when
God removed hundreds of His people from this church
, as He said he would in this Word if they did not repent. They joined many of America's "Christian" congregations who have fallen away (Apostasy) from God's Word in these Last Days.
Prophecy To TAOG Church on February 1, 1993
Thus saith the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, The GOD Incarnate, The GOD of Creation, The Sacrificial GOD, The ALPHA and the OMEGA, The BEGINNING and the END.
MY Children of LIGHT, MY Church, I come to you with this Word. You know of MY Love for you. You know of MY Promises. My children, My Church, you have burdened ME with your ways. You have departed from MY Word and followed the word of man. You know of MY Coming is close at hand, Yes, close even in your time. Will you stand before ME in judgment and be ashamed? Will you stand before ME naked and bear? Will you not look at ME? Your names have been written in MY Heart. Will you have your names removed from MY Heart? Therefore, I speak to you as MY children. Have I not said the Good Shepherd, who loves His sheep, will He not leave the flock and restore the one who has left the flock? Will not those whom I have given an abundance of MY Love share this Love with the lost? Have I not said the harvest is plenty but there are few to work in MY Harvest? I have sent shepherds to you for the Harvest and you have rejected them. Have I not spoken over MY chosen prophets, My servants to speak My Wisdom to you? Yet, you have chosen to follow the ways of the enemy of your souls. You have rejected those I have sent to you. You have refused to listen to MY servants I have sent to you. You do not listen because you have listened to the enemy of your souls. You have listened to soothsayers who comfort the ways of man and not of GOD. Therefore I say, Repent, Repent, Repent now before I come to judge MY Church before I judge the world. Have you not forgotten your First Love? I say return to ME the ONE and ONLY True GOD. Repent MY children! Turn to ME and I again will turn MY Face to you. Wash your robes clean so that you may hear from ME. Have I not made you great in the land ? Yet you are not great in MY sight. A few of you have washed your garments,
Yet if you do not repent I will remove all of MY children from your presence.
You have allowed the spirit of Pride to enter your midst; you have allowed the spirit of Pride to enter your midst; you have allowed the spirit of Pride to enter your midst. You have allowed the spirit of this world to control you. You have allowed the spirit of the Fear of man to enter your souls. You have allowed the spirit of Competition to enter your hearts. You have allowed the spirit of Confusion to enter your ways. Have I not said, I will not tolerate any Corruption in My Temple? My Wind is now blowing in the land. My Wind is now blowing against any spirit that is not of MY Work. My Wind is now blowing against the churches who are not knowing of MY NAME. Will you turn your face from ME? Will you turn your face from ME and I will turn MY face from You? Have I not given you my greatest gift? Have you shared this gift? I beseech you MY children to call upon ME so that I may restore you. I will not suffer evil. I will destroy all that is evil. Will your name be removed from MY heart or will you have Me say well done thou good and faithful servant? Repent and return to ME, your First Love. Make restitution to those you have not loved with My Love. Leave the flock and love those whom you have rejected. Repent and then return to MY Holy Ground. Repent MY children and seek to restore MY Children. The enemy of your souls has attacked you and caused divisions amongst you. Have I not said, a house divided shall not stand? Clean your house first, and unite in MY SPIRIT so that you will be able to reach the lost sheep. Repent MY children, repent for I will return soon. Have I not said that all things that are hidden will be revealed by MY Light? Repent My children and restore MY Church for my Sword and Judgment is close at hand . Prepare your ways for MY Final Wind, the Wind of the Kingdom of GOD
for it shall surely come
My Word spoken over MY servant whom I have found to be faithful. Saith the LORD JESUS CHRIST
Note! I had originally written this prophecy in longhand in about 10 minutes. It was miraculous. It came so fast that there was neither forethought or afterthought of the words with the exception of the last sentence. I was reluctant to write this last sentence down because I thought that it would appear that I was blowing my own horn. I debated with the LORD in my thoughts. This was actually my first experience with the supernatural in prophecy. When the LORD convinced me of the manner in which prophecy comes and who is the Originator and WHO is actually speaking or writing through HIS servant (s), I had no other choice but to include the last sentence. Thank You JESUS, and to Him be all the Glory, Praise, Honor, with much Thanksgiving. (ed, HIS servant)

Open Letter to the UN Security Council on the Situation in Libya
International Crisis Group
16 March 2011
(…) In light of the grave situation in Libya, we urge Security Council Members to take immediate effective action aimed at achieving a ceasefire in place and initiating negotiations to secure a transition to a legitimate and representative government. This action should be backed by the credible threat of appropriate military intervention, as a last resort, to prevent mass atrocities.
(…) The most urgent goal now must be to end the violence and halt further loss of life, while paving the way toward a political transition, objectives that require a different response.
Imposing a no-flight zone, which many have been advocating, would, in and of itself, achieve neither of these. It would not stop the violence or accelerate a peaceful resolution. Nor would it materially impede the regime from crushing resistance. Government forces appear to be gaining the advantage mainly on account of their superiority on the ground, not air power. In short, a no-flight zone under existing circumstances would not address the threat of mass atrocities it purports to tackle. The debate over this issue is inhibiting the necessary reflection on the best course of action.
If the objective is, as it should be, first and foremost to end the killing, there are only two genuine options. One is an international military intervention explicitly on the side of the revolt with the avowed goal of ensuring its victory or, at a minimum, preventing its defeat. (…)
(…) Although there are legitimate arguments for a swift and massive military intervention on the opposition's behalf, it presents considerable risks. Besides the obvious downsides entailed in what could well come to be viewed as another Western military engagement in a Muslim country and the Middle East and North Africa region, it could also lead to large-scale loss of life as well as precipitate a political vacuum in Libya in which various forces engage in a potentially prolonged and violent struggle for supremacy before anything resembling a state and stable government are reestablished. (…)
(…) The alternative option, which Crisis Group has advocated, is to engage in a vigorous political effort to achieve an immediate ceasefire in place to be followed by the prompt opening of a dialogue on the modalities of a transition to a new government that the Libyan people will accept as legitimate. To that end, we urge the Council to delegate a regional contact group composed of officials or respected personalities drawn from Arab and African countries, including Libya's neighbours, to initiate discussions with the regime and the opposition without delay. Their mandate would be to secure agreement on:
An immediate ceasefire in place, which respects international humanitarian law;
Dispatch of a peacekeeping force drawn primarily from the armed forces of regional states to act as a buffer, operating under a Security Council mandate and with the support of the Arab League and African Union;
Initiation of a dialogue between the regime and opposition aimed at definitively ending the bloodshed and beginning the necessary transition to representative, accountable and legitimate government; (…)
(…) The Security Council has a responsibility to live up to its commitments, even and especially if a member state does not. (…)

Chill out in the water
More than ever before, women are taking advantage of Wales' great outdoors. Sian Sykes runs a stand-up paddleboarding academy, Psyched Paddleboarding, on the Isle of Anglesey. She says: 'I see more and more women seeking a connection to the outdoors to challenge themselves mentally and physically – and above all, to give it a go.'
A great example can be found in Pembrokeshire, where the Bluetits Chill Swimmers make the most of the sea, lakes and ponds all year round. Sarah Mullis has been a member for four years. She says: 'I used to associate the outdoors with competitive men in Lycra, but chill swimming changed that for me. The women we swim with have all sorts of things going on in their lives. But when we get together, our problems seem that little bit smaller.'
Coasteering, sea kayaking and surfing are among the other possibilities around the Welsh coast, and adventure writer Phoebe Smith is keen to encourage women to step outside their comfort zone. 'The best thing about the outdoors is that it's the ultimate leveller,' she says. 'The rocks don't care if you're a man or a woman, young or old, rich or poor.'
Walk back to happiness
The benefits of walking are endless – especially when it's a social activity. 'Walking together allows us to open up, strengthen existing relationships and create new friendships,' says Jacky Cross of Meirionnydd Ramblers. 'It brings laughter, inspiration and adventure.'
Sioned Humphreys is marketing officer for the 870-mile Wales Coast Path. She says: 'We see so many couples and groups of friends walk together. It's the perfect way to boost wellbeing and escape the pressures of everyday life.'
Wales' other long-distance footpaths include the Snowdonia Slate Trail, taking you to the most remote and beautiful parts of the National Park, and the challenging Offa's Dyke Path along the English border. There's also The Wales Way – three routes that lead visitors along the west coast, across North Wales, and through the nation's mountainous heartland.
Catch the wellness wave
With its wild Atlantic breakers and wide, sandy beaches, Wales is among the best places in Europe to learn to surf – and in doing so, you may learn about more than how to catch a wave.
Tim Woodman, professor of performance psychology at Bangor University, says: 'Learning to surf can help people develop self-esteem, because they learn to adapt to an ever-changing environment. It's a great training ground for life.'
North Wales is home to Britain's first artificial surf lagoon, Adventure Parc Snowdonia. Its managing director, Andy Ainscough, is another advocate for the mental benefits of the sport. He says: 'By sticking at it and incrementally taking on bigger challenges – more powerful waves, for example – we gradually expand our sense of what we can achieve if we put our mind to it.'
Thrills that last a lifetime
If you like your great outdoors with a shot of adrenaline, Wales is unlikely to disappoint. How about soaring high above a vast slate quarry on the world's fastest zip line, crashing through whirlpools on a powerboat or spending the night on a 'portaledge' tent, tethered to a sea cliff?
It's not just about the thrills. Andrew Hudson, commercial director at Zip World, says: 'Often, people who come here for the first time underestimate the impact it will have on them. Zip lining is one of the most accessible adrenaline activities – everyone can take part. But when they do, they slide into a totally new perspective on life.'
Phil Scott, director of Anglesey boat-trip operator RibRide, agrees. 'When our customers are on our boat tours, their senses are focused only on the experience – the speed, the wind and the spectacular scenery,' he says. 'It takes a while to come down from that, and the sense of achievement stays in the memory for a very long time.'
Enjoy a gastronomic adventure
Many visitors to Wales are keen to explore the links between our food and the landscape in which it's produced. Increasingly, it's about knowing where the finest and freshest ingredients come from – and even going out to forage for them.
Sian Tucker and her partner James Lynch run fforest, a 200-acre 'outdoor hotel' in Ceredigion, West Wales with eco-friendly accommodation. She says: 'We are fortunate in living in an area, like much of rural Wales, where the quality of produce, driven by small-scale farming and fisheries, is second to none in the world. Growing and eating your own food is a great pleasure, as well as foraging and gathering food in the outdoors.'

The kids had a lot of fun building forts in the living room.
Like always, Lyla was super cranky that day and so I wore her while cooking and cleaning. And that day Everett was super whiny and kept asking me to hold him. Poor thing has been so neglected because of how much time and attention Lyla demands 🙁
Later in the day I invited Everett into the kitchen to help me make cloth wipes solution.
I used to make it in a big glass bowl and that was a huge pain in the butt to pour into the wipes container because it spilled everywhere! I finally bought a giant glass measuring cup to make it in.
Pouring is a breeze now! Whew!
I also bought a tall kitchen garbage can to hold the wash bag I use. Ember walked in my room and noticed it and asked what it was for and I asked her, "What do you think?" She said, I know, dirty diapers! And pointed like this:
Lyla woke up from her ergo nap.
Me and the kids gathered around the computers. We like to watch Good Mythical Morning on youtube together every day.
Lyla kept trying to grab Everett's binky.
Everett found some old stickers (like, years old) in my closet. They were Payson's and they are spiderman stickers. He brought it to me to ask about it and I told him briefly about spiderman and showed him a youtube video of the old cartoon. Like, the old, old, original cartoon. He was delighted! He was enthralled! He talked about spiderman a lot and even practiced his spiderman moves. It reminded me of Payson and how he discovered spiderman all on his own and that's a fun feeling. Watching your son delight in something in similar ways to your older son did at the same age, all on their own… it's just FUN!
Then after the big kids went to bed me and Allan watched a movie together. Since we cosleep and since the TV is in our bedroom the little kids got to watch it with us. We were actually watching Moana! I'd bought it earlier that day for the kids and liked the little bits I saw so much I told him I wanted to watch it on my own and he agreed to watch it with me!

It turns out that things didn't go quite the way I had planned over the weekend. I haven't started feeling well until today, so we ate out a little more than we originally intended. That said, we have still officially failed the challenge. Total spent on groceries so far is $328.
Okay, so maybe it isn't a total failure. I've learned a couple of things.
- It is really, really helpful to have some things stocked up. I started this challenge with low supplies all around. However, now that we have a nice stockpile of frozen meat, and are starting on a small stockpile of canned/pantry items, perhaps next month we can hit the $200 goal.
- Curries, stir-fries, soups, and basic casseroles will really help the meals stretch, and keep me out of the kitchen at least every other night. (Thank you, Sarah, for inspiring me!)
- Don't make more than one recipe a purchase cycle that calls for ingredients you don't have on hand. I put two new ones on the list, both with ingredients we don't normally use. Lesson learned.
- $300 may be more of a realistic goal for us. However, we will continuously strive for a lower bill for the next few months to see if we can stay under that and hit the original goal.
- I can make almost anything in a wok. No, really. I am almost ready to get rid of all of my other pots and pans. Okay, so not really, but it is pretty amazing. We've been watching the Double Chen YouTube channel, and that got me inspired to try doing more with a wok. And that is a good thing, because now I am more confident in my stir-fry abilities. And Norseman and Prima love them some stir-fry.
Alright, moving on to the nitty gritty: photos of purchases, and then a tentative meal-plan for the remainder of the month.
Earth Fare
- 4 lb grass-fed ground sirloan, $3.99/lb (lowest price it ever gets to, which is pretty good for any ground beef)
- Boston Butt Pork Roast, $4.29/lb
- 2 cheese samples
- 2 cans coconut water (for smoothies)
Sam's Club
- 5 lb cheese, for shredded cheese (cheaper than the Kroger sale price per lb.)
- 10 lb sugar (stocking up!)
- Candy (for Harvest Festival)
- Bread (homemade garlic bread)
- Salad
Farmer's Market
- 5 dozen eggs
- cherry tomatoes
- broccoli
- mustard greens
- cantelope
- spaghetti squash
- 2 lb carrots
- celery
- kiwis
- Milk
- 2 lb penne pasta $0.79 each!
- Spaghetti
- 2 quarts yogurt
- Worcestershire sauce
- pumpkin
- refried beans
- Parmesan cheese
- tomato sauce
- English muffins
- apples
- bacon
- tortillas
- sour cream
- fudge (bakery markdown)
Not pictured
- deposit on a bushel (42 lb) of Pink Lady apples coming in next month!
The current meal plan:
- Friday: I was still not feeling well, so we ordered pizza
- Saturday: Pizza (lunch) and supper with my in-laws
- Sunday: Leftover chicken soup (lunch) and Taco Bell
- Monday: Potato & bean curry (lunch) Supper at a friend's house (we brought cantaloupe, and came home with pumpkin cookies!)
- Tuesday: Leftover curry (lunch) Creamy Squash Pasta, salad, garlic bread (homemade and frozen)
- Wednesday: Leftovers (lunch) Supper at church
- Thursday: Leftovers (probably from church supper), Creamy Squash Pasta (made two), garlic bread, salad
- Friday: Leftovers (lunch) Cheeseburger Pizza
- Saturday: Made up Curry (lunch), Pumpkin Enchiladas
- Sunday: Leftover enchiladas (lunch), maybe leftover curry
- Monday: Chicken Curry casserole
- Tuesday: Leftovers for lunch and supper
- Wednesday: Beef Cantonese Bowls, supper at church
- Thursday: Crockpot Pork over rice, with salad (if any is left)
- Friday: Pork Carnitas Pizza
- Saturday: Probably curry or stir-fry
- Sunday: Leftovers and stir-fry probably again
- Monday: Whatever is left in the house. Maybe a pasta dish and more salad
Of course, I'll do one last update next Wednesday with how it's going. And then a quick update on Tuesday the 31st to show what the final outcome is.

There's nothing magical about starting a company. In all likelihood, you will not have a
Eureka! moment in which you discover the next world-changing business idea.
That's not to say you won't discover the next world-changing business idea — you'll just have to be proactive about it.
Neil Blumenthal, a cofounder and co-CEO of billion-dollar glasses brand Warby Parker, recommends a specific strategy for finding a business idea. In an interview with Business Insider at the Success Makers Summit in April, hosted by American Express OPEN, Blumenthal explained how it works:
"Every day, write down a few frustrations. And then at the end of the week, you'll have maybe 10 problems. By the end of the month, maybe you have 40 to 50 problems. And then you can spend time thinking about: Is there a viable business in solving any of these everyday frustrations?"
Blumenthal said he and his cofounders didn't use this exact technique — the inspiration for Warby Parker came when cofounder and co-CEO Dave Gilboa lost an expensive pair of glasses. The cofounders asked their friends if they'd ever had a similar experience and discovered that overpaying for glasses was a relatively widespread problem.
But Blumenthal emphasised that "successful entrepreneurs are pretty methodical about the problem they're trying to solve." He went on:
"Sometimes, it's not that they just started it in high school or college, because they have actually needed to live a little and experience a little bit of life to identify where there are problems that need solving.
"For every Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook, there's 30 other entrepreneurs that started their business after working for several years."
In other words, coming up with a solid business idea — never mind actually building the business — probably takes more time than you think. A combination of patience and a can-do attitude is a must.
