In the past years my posts on 14th February some way or the other have been in conversations between Love and Finance, my last post in 2013 on Feb 14th was a kind of open proposal expression through the priceless charts Love you by Finance Market Professional : Valentine day! , also today my blog turned-up 6 years old, and my first ever post was on the Mergers and Acquisitions in India! and the government policies .
Getting back to the topic for today A few years ago, somebody asking this question on market timings would have been dismissed as a nit-picking nerd, but today that question has become extremely important. Last week, the Wall Street Journal's Money Beat blog ! carried an interesting story about how this difference cost a trader $100,000.
The official market close in the US is 4:00:00 pm, but the computers at Nasdaq keep humming for almost one second longer to reconcile all trades and determine the market closing price. About 150 milliseconds after 4:00 pm on December 5, the earnings announcement of Ulta Salon Cosmetics & Fragrance Inc. hit Business Wire and within 50 milliseconds after that a series of sale orders started hitting the market. When the market closed 700 milliseconds after 4:00 pm, the stock had fallen from $122 to $118.
The problem is that companies that want to release earnings after trading hours assume that trading stops at 4:00:00 pm, while smart traders know that the actual close is nearer to 4:00:01. That creates a profit opportunity for the fastest machine readable news feeds and the fastest trading algorithms. Traders are thinking in terms of milliseconds, but regulators are probably thinking in terms of minutes. Time for the regulators to catch up!

Captain America made me the patriot I am today.
I'm sure there were some other influences. Probably a little Red Dawn, a splash of GI Joe and perhaps even some stuff that didn't come from comic books, movies or after-school cartoons. But it was Captain America, specifically a two-year story arc that started in 1987 at the height of my comics-collecting career, that crystallized my understanding of what it means to be a patriot in the world we live in.
See also: - Mystery Science Theater 3000's legacy of hilarity - Zombies, motherhood and Tesla: Alexandre O. Philippe launches Fried Comics - Denver Comic Con founder Charlie La Greca on what makes this con special
That arc is summarized by the name The Captain, but in case your knowledge of comic storylines from 25 years ago is less than complete, let me summarize. Captain America, aka Steve Rogers, is ordered to return to active government service. When he refuses, due to concerns that the government may ask him to do things that compromise his integrity, he's stripped of his identity as Captain America. Along with the name Captain America, he has to give back his shield and costume, since those are all technically property of the U.S. government. In effect, he was fired. Then, to add insult to injury, the government hired a replacement and gave the new guy the shield, the costume and the the name.
This blew my fourteen-year-old mind.
Marijuana Deals Near You
How the hell do you fire Captain America? That's like firing the president, only worse, because there's a new president every four to eight years but there's only ever been one Captain America! I was outraged, but also riveted by the storyline, which followed a now-disillusioned Rogers as he tried to figure out what to do without being Captain America, as well as the new Captain America, who turned out to be kind of shitty at the job. Well, Rogers pretty quickly decided that even if he couldn't be Captain America, he still loved his country and had to do what he could to protect and serve it. Sure, its leaders were demonstrably dipshits, as evidenced by his firing, but that didn't mean America wasn't still kick-ass. So Rogers took up the mantle of The Captain, traded in his red, white and blue uniform for a red, white and black one of a similar design, and went off to do his own thing.
This storyline introduced me to some pretty big ideas. Key among those ideas was that the government could be wrong. Not just a little bit wrong, not just "differences of opinion" wrong, but "firing the living symbol of America's greatness and hiring a psychopath to replace him" wrong. Just as important was Rogers' decision to fight for what he believed in, even when it was in opposition to the official government position.
Now, as a fourteen-year-old boy in the late '80s, I was pro-America, because, duh, I was an American and America was obviously rad. Like any kid who grew up on the ass-end of the Cold War, I was buried in a lot of pro-U.S. propaganda, so I knew that freedom was awesome and Russia was evil and all that. The U.S. was the best nation on the planet and that was that. Reading that Captain America storyline changed all of that. My unquestioning patriotism had been replaced by a still nascent belief that, while America was great, America could also be wrong. And when it is wrong, it's our duty as patriots not to go along, but to do what's right and to try to get it back on track.
That's pretty heady stuff for a comic book. It's also what I still believe to this day. The lessons I learned from issues No. 332 through 350 of Captain America have served me well to this day. When my patriotism was called into question during the darkest and dumbest of the Bush years, when "true patriots" were falling all over each other to go along with whatever stupid shit the government suggested, I remembered The Captain and did my part. Sure, Steve Rogers took on a new identity and put his ass on the line fighting evil, while I mostly made long-winded posts railing against the latest excesses of the War on Terror on Internet forums, but the principle was the same. Comics had taught me well.
Pop culture in general is frequently seen as disposable, and comic books are especially vulnerable to these accusations. But good ideas are where you find them, and I found mine in the pages of Marvel's Captain America comic. Would I have grown up to be a more traditional patriot had I never discovered that comic? Maybe. It's also possible that I would have found the same ideas -- they're not terribly revolutionary or new, after all -- elsewhere, but who knows if they would have affected me the same way? These days I can embrace a dry documentary on civil disobedience, but as a kid? Not a chance. But encountering them in the four-color world of the comics, where the heroes I adored lived and breathed? I absorbed them without effort and they changed me forever.

I love this country, and I always will. But that doesn't mean I don't realize that our leaders are sometimes dipshits. It doesn't mean I don't know that we have done shitty things and continue to do shitty things. And it doesn't mean that loving America means I have to follow orders blindly, at the cost of my integrity. Patriotism, for me, means sticking up for the America I believe in, even when it's unpopular and contrary to the official party line. And I learned it all from Captain America.

Burundians love their country, and here is Steve Sogo's song, 'My Beautiful Country, Burundi,' which celebrates this fact. The song has been a run-away hit, very much beloved throughout the country.
Scenes in the video are of traditional Burundi styles and musical instruments and of various famous spots in the country, including the little pyramid and small trickle of water out of which Steve sips, which is claimed to be the southern-most source of the Nile River.
Today Steven is considered as the best bassplayer in Burundi and the most original artist of his country. Recently he has been selected by the World Bank Institute to be Burundi´s music ambassador. STEVEN SOGO sings in Kirundi, Swahili and in French.
For his composition he has been inspired by daily life. "J´aime la vie!" he explained in an interview and his love for live is his motivation. Peace and life after a long war struggle are important subjects in his songs.
… His music is a permanent reflection of his cultural identity and heritage. STEVEN SOGO wants to be an example for the new Burundian generation to be proud of their culture instead of forgetting it.
Source: http://fidjomusic.com/steven-sogo.html
The scenes in Steve's video that are by Lake Tanganyika were shot here, where I live. The piece has become a classic.
Steven plays the guitar, the Ikembe (thumb piano) and the Umuduri (a single-stringed instrument and the ancestor of the Berimbau of Brazil). He sings in Kirundi, Swahili and in French. His take on traditional Burundian music is graceful and refreshing. His music is … full of pain and hope at the same time, a mirror of present day Burundian society.
Regarding the years of war, Steve has these wise words to say –
[In my music] I just wanted to show the beauty of my country to change our thinking and be forward looking. I wanted to focus on a peaceful Burundi and not dwell on our differences. In any society music and words can be a real force for change that can touch everybody.

Are you hungry to set yourself free from Imposter Syndrome?
Let me help you to press 'pause' on your inner critic
and clear out the secret triggers that leave you feeling like a fraud at 3am...
... so you can finally feel good enough and become the leader you were born to be!
My Ditching Imposter Syndrome 90-day programme shows you exactly how:
Everyone else thinks you're successful and confident...
... but deep down inside you're lying awake at night, worrying they're going to 'find you out'...
...that they'll realise you don't know as much as you should...
... that someone will spot that you got to where you are by luck or fluke - and that luck might run out.
It's affecting your work, your relationships and your stress levels. And you worry you're the only person in the world who feels this way.
But you're not alone! The 2019 Imposter Syndrome Research Study showed that 52% of female respondents struggle with Imposter Syndrome 'daily' or 'regularly'. And it's 49% of the men.
It's an epidemic. And no one is talking about it.
The great news is that there's nothing wrong with you. You're just running Imposter Syndrome. And you're in exactly the right place to ditch it!
Feeling true, inner confidence, being naturally resilient, and never having to 'fake it till you make it' again is within your reach!
It doesn't matter how many years you've felt stuck with Imposter Syndrome. It doesn't matter how busy or stressed you are. It doesn't matter even if you've convinced yourself that you're the only person on the planet feeling this way and that nothing will work for you, you can ditch Imposter Syndrome in the next 90 days.
And you don't even have to try hard!
You're going to learn how to turn your Inner Critic into your biggest cheerleader (without pretending), and how to clear out the silent triggers that cause us to secretly self-sabotage, so you can feel free from that fear, forever.
You'll get to take off your secret masks and dump out-of-date 'coping strategies' so you can be more of who you really are, becoming the leader you were born to be.
Meet Louise
Louise felt that turning down a promotion to the executive floor would be a career-limiting move. But it took her out of a job she was excelling at, heading up a team she loved, into a world of politics and the constant fear of upsetting the CEO.
By working through the process that's waiting for you in the Ditching Imposter Syndrome 90-day programme, she changed the way she sees herself. And that radically shifted the way she was showing up - at work and at home - setting her free from the old 3am self-talk that used to leave her exhausted and demoralised.
She no longer lives in secret fear of being found out. She sees the people she used to look up to as peers. And she is able to rise above the politics and paranoia.
It has transformed the way she is working and the results she is achieving - and she's no longer bringing stress and anxiety home.
All of that - and so much more - is waiting for you inside my Ditching Imposter Syndrome 90-day programme.
I know you're busy! I have designed this programme to be in bite-sized chunks so you can fit it in, no matter how full your schedule is.
It's designed so that you can change your life in less time than it takes to make a cup of coffee.
An hour or so a week - in 5-10 minute chunks - is all it takes to create breakthroughs. This programme is a burnout-free zone!
Don't Know Me Yet? I'm Clare Josa.
I have spent the past fifteen years, specialising in helping business leaders to finally ditch Imposter Syndrome. And I've just led the landmark 2019 Imposter Syndrome Research Study, so you'll be getting science, not superstition.
As an NLP Trainer since 2003, I'm an old hand at designing courses that create breakthroughs in minutes, not months - at a conscious and subconscious level.
My prior background in engineering, specialising in Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, means that I'm a great strategist with a fluff-free approach and a passion for sharing inspirational how-to that makes changing your life fast, fun and forever. I'm also a certified meditation, mindfulness and yoga teacher, so you get a generous dollop of that, too. My clients call it 'engineer-approved woo-woo'.
As the author of eight books and a regular radio and podcast interviewee, I have helped thousands of entrepreneurs and passionate world changers with overcoming imposter syndrome. I'd love to get to share these with you on this programme.
How Will You Ditch Imposter Syndrome In Under 90 Days?
The 90 days are broken down into ten easy-to-apply training modules, with videos, MP3 visualisations (change your life while you lie around and do nothing!), quizzes to check what you have learned, and a printable workbook.
You get a new module every week or two, for 12 weeks, on average, so there's plenty of time to go through the materials, integrate the changes, and you don't feel rushed or overwhelmed.
Plus you're not alone! You get daily support with your exclusive Facebook group (you get membership for a full year), plus invitation-only to my monthly student live Q&A call, for a full twelve months, where you can get a hot seat mentoring to answer your questions and celebrate your successes.
Module 1
The secret to keeping yourself motivated!
You'll start by discovering your own secret motivators, which are the key to keeping going through this programme, even at those times when you might not be in the mood...
And they're the essential ingredient to any change you want to make in your life.
By starting with this, it helps to make sure this will be a programme you actually finish and get transformational results from, rather than leaving it to gather guilt-inducing virtual dust...
Module 2
Turning your inner critic into your biggest cheerleader!
You can't dive below the surface to clear out your hidden triggers until you know how to press 'pause' on your Inner Critic's commentary.
That's exactly what you'll learn how to do in module two.
Actually - we'll go further than that. You'll learn how to train your negative self-talk to become encouraging, like an inner cheerleader, without pretending or white-washing.
Plus you'll discover the little-known link between your self-talk and your performance - and your emotions. Hint: it's not in your imagination - and it's why 'mindset' techniques so often don't work for Imposter Syndrome.
Module 3
Clearing out your hidden blocks!
This is the module where you get to have fun clearing out your hidden blocks, whether they're fears or excuses or limiting beliefs. These are the time bombs that lurk beneath the surface, ready to trigger a bout of Imposter Syndrome at just the wrong moment.
By truly letting them go (you'll cover a range of techniques - there will be at least one that you love), you'll set yourself free from them, forever!
Module 4
Taking off your hidden masks
Our secret masks are the coping strategies we use - from a young age - to handle those moments of not feeling good enough. But they cause us to shut down parts of who we really are, until we barely recognise ourselves.
Module four is where you learn how to finally feel safe to take off those masks, to connect with your inner rockstar confidence, and to set yourself free from Imposter Syndrome!
And you'll learn my all-time-favourite-ever block-clearing strategy, which I can't teach in my books - it could change your life forever.
Module 5
Becoming The Leader You Were Born To Be
Now you've made so many changes in your life, through modules one to four, it's time to dive in and become even more of the leader you were born to be.
In module five, you'll discover how to connect with your true, inner resilience - no more pretending or pushing on through.
You'll learn the essence of courageous alignment, and you'll decode your own inner genius and superpowers, so you can influence authentically and make an even bigger difference in the world.
Module 6
Consciously Creating Your Future
I love teaching module six! It's where we get to pull together your 'next steps' action plan - for life, the universe and everything!
Once you've cleared out so many of your hidden blocks and Imposter Syndrome is becoming a thing of the past for you, you'd be amazed how your future dreams change.
And in this module, I teach you practical and engineer-approved woo-woo ways to turn those dreams into reality (no unicorns required).
And It's Designed To Get You Results - Fast - With Full Support
My background in designing training that works means I know how we can get in our own way, when we're changing our lives. So over the ninety days, you'll have all the support you need:
Step by Step How-To
These comprehensive, but bite-sized, training videos & workbooks are specially designed to guide you through the process - easily - no matter how busy you are.
Keep Your Journey On-Track
Learning works best when you're actively engaged, so you get a beautiful printable workbook, to support you with the exercises - answering the questions I'd ask if we were doing this 1:1.
Lazy Life Change!
Change your life while you sit around with your eyes closed, relaxing, with the companion guided visualisations to reprogramme your brain with near-zero effort.
You Are Not Alone
The student-only (plus Clare!) Facebook group means you'll have plenty of question-answering, virtual cheerleaders and accountability. Changing your life can feel lonely and being with your tribe makes a huge difference to your success.
Invitation-Only Q&A Calls
You'll get invitation-only access to my monthly live Q&A calls, where you can get a hot seat to get answers to your questions and to celebrate your breakthroughs. You can take part in these from anywhere in the world.
Never Have Enough Time?
And since 'I don't have enough time' is the biggest excuse we use for not changing our lives, you get my much-loved 'How To Magically Make More Time' masterclass as my gift.
It will help you to find the time for this training!
Meet Mark
Mark was heading up a division and was renowned for coming up with six-figure ideas on the golf course.
But while the outside world thought he was a huge success, he was lying awake at night, secretly terrified that his luck would run out and they would realise he wasn't as good as they thought he was.
The occasional glass of red wine at lunchtime to take the edge off the stress and anxiety soon became a bottle, and before Mark realised it, he was barely holding on to his marriage, let alone his job.
Having worked through the strategies in the Ditching Imposter Syndrome 90-day programme, Mark learned how to press 'pause' on the self-talk cycles that had been keeping him trapped.
This gave him the headspace and the tools to dive in, spot, and clear out the very old, very out-of-date triggers for Imposter Syndrome. Through this, he reclaimed his power to believe in himself.
He has rebuilt his life and no longer needs to use alcohol to escape from his self-talk and mind-story fears.
What Are People Saying About Clare's Ditching Imposter Syndrome Work?
Clare's the ideal person to teach you about Imposter Syndrome.
The engineer in her means she's great at breaking tough problems down into workable solutions. And as an NLP Trainer, she can take you through logical steps to tame your Inner Critic, like no one else. She's creating a tipping point for ditching Imposter Syndrome.
Janine Coombes, Author of The Content Marketing Myth
Too many people think they're stuck with it!
Clare's background as an engineer and NLP Trainer, PLUS her life experience, qualifies her as THE person to deconstruct the art and science of bypassing your mental and emotional blocks and setting yourself free from Imposter Syndrome.
Nancy Marmolejo, Executive Coach
What's The Investment?
To do this with me 1:1 typically costs £10,000 for three months of support (you can apply below, if that's what you're looking for). And I only take on a handful of clients for such intensive mentoring these days (only 6 places left for the whole of 2020).
To do this in a small-group (12-person) Mastermind with me costs around £3,000. And I'm not sure when the next one will run.
But if you're a self-starter and know that you'll make the most of the Facebook group and student Q&A calls to hold yourself accountable, then this 90-day programme is perfect for you.
I want to make this training as accessible as possible, whilst still giving you the quality of course and support you deserve. So the regular price for this Ditching Imposter Syndrome 90-day programme is just £995.
That's less than the cost of a 1/2 day 'pick Clare's brain' session with me. And you'll get the whole 90-day programme, creating transformation in how you're living your life, plus the peer support and monthly group mentoring calls to get you answers to your questions and to be your virtual cheerleaders.
You can start your Ditching Imposter Syndrome 90-day challenge in the next few minutes.

I know what it can feel like as you sign up for a programme like this, so I want to make it a zero-risk investment for you.
If at any point in the first 30 days of the programme you find that it is not helping you to tame your inner critic, shift those limiting beliefs, and ditch Imposter Syndrome, let my team know and I'll give you your money back - no sulks or tantrums!
However, this is not a 'brown banana' guarantee:
You wouldn't take a banana back to the shop for a refund because you forgot to eat it and it went brown. Similarly, I will expect you to have tried the exercises in the programme on for size. You won't be eligible for a refund just because you changed your mind or decided you were too busy (that's why you get my 'how to magically make more time' training!)
Not Sure If This Is For You?
Still deciding?
The 2019 Imposter Syndrome Research Study made it clear how huge an impact it can have on people's lives.
And, once you know you're running it, what's the point in waiting months - or years - or forever - before you start to ditch it?
Don't be one of the 70% of research respondents who said they are still letting it get in the way of taking action on their dreams.
Make this the year you FINALLY Ditch Imposter Syndrome and get to be more of who you really are, letting your deepest potential shine like a light in the world.
Got Questions?
I don't have enough time!
I'm curious: how much time each week do you spend watching TV?
How about social media?
Once you've got your 'secret to staying motivated', you'll find it easier to prioritise this programme. And the training vault is designed to make it easy for you to pick up where you left off.
Plus you get my much-loved Masterclass - how to 'magically' make more time.
When are the live Q&A sessions?
They are normally on the fourth Thursday of each month, at 2pm UK time.
You'll get an email the week before, to remind you. And you can submit a question in advance to check out on the recording, if you can't join us live.
This way everyone gets a chance to join in, wherever you are in the world.
I can't afford it
If you're in genuine financial need, please contact my team to talk about applying for a bursary, letting them know what you can afford.
However, sometimes we have to invest in ourselves and in projects that are important to us.
This programme is priced at what it would cost you to hire me for 90 minutes to 'pick my brain' about changing your life - a request I receive regularly and nearly always have to turn down.
When you imagine the difference that finally knowing how to press 'pause' on your negative self-talk and ditching Imposter Syndrome could make in your life, I hope you'll agree it's worth it.
How long do I get access to the training materials?
There's no expiry date on the training materials, livestreams and Q&As. They will be there for you in my online Training Vault for as long as you need them.
You'll also have access to the Facebook group for as long as it exists (I've got no intention of closing it any time soon!)
So there's no rush. But students find they get the best results by keeping up with the fortnightly modules.
I've tried CBT / therapy and it didn't work. Will this training help?
This training is not intended to replace medical interventions by your chosen professional. It's also not intended to treat conditions that have been clinically diagnosed.
However, one of the things that came up over and over in the 2019 Imposter Syndrome Research Study was that people had tried cognitive therapy or counselling, and it hadn't helped. That's because these techniques work at the surface level of the problems, rather than the root causes.
You get to deep-dive and clear out those subconscious triggers in your 90-day training, which is the difference that makes the difference.
Not sure if this is right for you? You can contact my team and they'll do their best to help you.
What makes this better than your book?
Look, my book - Ditching Imposter Syndrome - is brill. (I'm biased, but readers agree).
But changing your life from a book is the toughest way to do it. It's DIY with knobs on.
If you know you love more interactive learning styles, combining video with audio and practical exercises, then this is for you.
Plus you get the accountability and answers to your questions from the Facebook group and the monthly live Q&A calls. It helps to keep you on track, especially at points where the book might ask an awkward question that makes you put it back on the bedside table, gathering dust.
Also, there are so many things I couldn't cover in the book that I still want to share with you. And they're all here, waiting for you, in your training vault.
Got one that's not covered here? Contact my team for answers.

SBI declares war wants to capture pole position in home loan raceState Bank of India seems to be racing ahead, leading the competitive race of the banks.
Harsh Roongta
21 Jul 2009
The home loan war seems to be hotting up. The private sector players (HDFC, ICICI, Axis, LIC housing Finance) are all providing loans at around 9.25% floating to their new consumers (including to existing borrowers of other banks wishing to shift their loans). For once the PSU banks seem to be using attractive structured offerings to provide stiff competition to the private lenders.
Suddenly the PSU banks are raining offers on the home loan consumers (including long suffering existing consumers of other banks). The Canara bank offer of completely fixed rates for the next 5 years (see http://blog.apnapaisa.com/2009/06/23/canara-bank-new-home-loan-scheme-does-it-make-sense/) was quite popular and SBI has also come out with a good offer.
The details are given below for loans upto Rs. 30 lacs:
8% fixed for 1st year, 9% fixed for 2nd and 3rd year and the consumer can decide today between a floating rate thereafter at 2% below SBAR prevalent at that time (current SBAR is 11.75% so if SBAR remains the same the rate will be 9.75% after 3 years but actual rate will be known only at that time) or a fixed rate after 3 years for the 4th and 5th year at 1% below SBAR prevalent at that time (so if SBAR remains constant for 3 years then the fixed rate after 3 years will be 10.75% but actual fixed rate for 4th and 5th year will be known only then) . There are no processing charges and no pre-payment charge if the pre-payment is made from your own sources.
Sources within HDFC have correctly pointed out that if you take the average rate (assuming that the rate from 4th year onwards will be 9.75% floating) then it works out to 9.35% for SBI versus 9.25% for them. However given the uncertainty surrounding interest rates and more importantly the tendency of all lenders (contrary to popular opinion the PSU banks also have a similar behaviour pattern) not to pass on the benefit of reduction in interest rates to their existing floating rate customers, it is always safe to go for fixed rates as long as they are economically priced and even if only for a few years.
It is here that the SBI plan scores over the other lenders who lend only on "floating rate" basis. Personally I would still rate the Canara Bank scheme higher than SBI as it provides for a fixed rate for 5 years with other charges that are the same as SBI.
The mighty sales machinery of SBI is already in full flow and their local level managers seem keen to do business for once. Let us see how the consumers re-act to this new scheme. After the entire consumer is supreme.
SBI car loan Scheme
The car loan scheme from SBI is a really good. As an example its 5-year new car loan scheme has a fixed rate of interest for the first 3 years (8% for 1st year and 10% for the next 2 years) and at 0.50% below SBAR for the 4th and 5th year (if the SBAR stays at the current levels it will be at an effective rate of 11.25%). Processing fee is nil till September 30, 2009 and the prepayment charges are at 2 % (plus applicable service tax). This compares very favourably with the 5 year fixed rate schemes available from the private sector lenders at around 12% as also their slightly cheaper floating rate option. It also has an option for an overdraft loan facility if you are taking a loan for an amount exceeding Rs. 3 lacs, though this is at a slightly higher rate. Its used car scheme is again one of the best available in the market in terms of rates. The only missing thing is that for this loan you will need to apply separately to SBI unlike the private sector banks where the car dealer himself takes care of the loan sanction from the bank. This is a product (unlike home loans) for which the consumer is not used to dealing with the bank directly and hence the convenience that the car dealer offers of getting the loan sanctioned and disbursed often make customers opt for the private sector lender even though the SBI product is clearly better.

Just Jared Jr. caught up with Aly and Robbie at the event, and in Part 1 of their interview, Aly had this to say about filming Hellcats:
For the pilot, I actually twisted my ankle really bad. I'm fine now, but for a month I was icing my ankle and wrapping it every which way. In the dance section where Marti auditions or tries out for the team, I was actually wearing a wrap underneath my cargo pants. I just hurt my ankle like four days earlier so I conserved my energy and just decided to go out there and kill it. But that was a tough week.
[Ashley and I have] known each other for years, so it's great. It's an amazing experience to work with someone you just truly and genuinely enjoy being around. There's that comradeship on and off set as well.

Aly talks to Hollywood Teen'Zine about her newfound respect for cheerleaders:
Thanks to Hellcats Fans, we now have the title of the Hellcats pilot, and a synopsis of the episode:
Hellcats 1x01: A World Full of Strangers
ALY MICHALKA ("BANDSLAM") AND ASHLEY TISDALE ("HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL") STAR IN A NEW COMING-OF-AGE DRAMA — Marti Perkins (Michalka), a law student at Lancer University, discovers that her scholarship has been cancelled and her well-meaning but irresponsible mother, Wanda (Gail O'Grady, "NYPD Blue," "American Dreams") has neglected to inform her. Broke and out of options, Marti realizes the only way she can stay in school is to win a place on the Hellcats – Lancer's legendary cheer squad – and the scholarship that comes with it. Despite a confrontation with the Hellcats peppy team captain, Savannah (Tisdale), Marti wins over coach Vanessa Lodge (Sharon Leal, "Dreamgirls"), makes the squad and is thrust into a competitive world unlike anything she has ever known. With her best friend Dan (Matt Barr, "Harper's Island") by her side, Marti navigates her new world as a cheerleader and Savannah's new roommate, while trying to avoid any interaction with squad member Alice Verdura (Heather Hemmens, "CSI: Miami"), who is instantly jealous when she realizes that Marti has caught the eye of Alice's ex-boyfriend Lewis Flynn (Robbie Jones, "One Tree Hill"). Allan Arkush directed the episode written by Kevin Murphy (#101).

PORTLAND — Perhaps it was his cool-headedness in delivering a baby on the side of the road. Or his expertise in giving mouth-to-mouth resuscitation to a man overcome by hot coffee. Or maybe it's just that we all wish we had our very own Trunk Monkey.
Whatever his charm, Trunk Monkey, a chimpanzee featured in a comical series of car-dealership commercials, has been winning over audiences so successfully that he's generated a profitable side business for the Portland ad agency that created him 3 ½ years ago.
Dealerships from as far away as New Zealand pay to license the series of commercials for their own use and now are the largest source of revenue for the R/West agency. Meanwhile Trunk Monkey is about to debut in his biggest market yet, as a New Jersey dealership is buying ads to run in the New York City area on Super Bowl Sunday.
Tim Ciasulli of the Planet Honda and Used Car Universe dealership in Union, N.J., is hoping that viewers will have the same response he did when a friend first e-mailed them to him.
"I'm watching them and I'm just laughing," he said. "They're very funny and extremely memorable."
Like other dealerships that have licensed the commercials, he is supporting the campaign with his own marketing blitz — hiring an actor to wear a monkey suit and decking out the dealership in a jungle motif. "I think our phones are going to be ringing off the hook," he predicted.
R/West, which first created the farcical commercials in 2003, has been banking on that kind of response. The agency, headed by President Sean Blixseth, found that the commercials — originally commissioned by Suburban Auto Group in Sandy, Ore. — have just as much sway with audiences outside Oregon.
The first commercial, showing a driver hitting a Trunk Monkey button on his dashboard to subdue an aggressive road rager, was produced for less than $50,000 with the filming assistance of a friend, Blixseth said.
The commercial, and others that followed, quickly gained popularity online. Trunk Monkey has since dispatched a would-be car thief in "Sopranos" style, fended off aliens and tried to bribe a police officer to let a speeding driver off.
R/West has continued to produce the ads for Suburban Auto Group, which supplements its Trunk Monkey campaign with T-shirts and bumper stickers. It also hosts the commercials, one of which will be broadcast locally during the Super Bowl, on its Web site. But since the 2003 debut, 45 other dealerships around the world have licensed the commercials, each for tens of thousands of dollars a year, making it the largest source of revenue for R/West, which employs 20.
The proceeds go for production of new commercials — now costing about $75,000 to $100,000 — and any profit above that is split between R/West and Suburban. The two declined to disclose the profit.
Syndicating commercials isn't new, said Norm Grey, executive creative director with Creative Circus, a two-year advertising school in Atlanta.
But the challenge is, "no matter what happens, every bank, every car dealership has its own needs," he said. "It's not necessarily personal."
Still, in the world of auto advertising, which focuses on price and "the deal, the deal, the deal," Trunk Monkey breaks new ground, said Steve Miller, a senior reporter who covers the auto industry for marketing publication Brandweek.
It also is a way for a small agency like Blixseth's to gain national attention, and perhaps open the door for national clients.
He said it's unlikely that car dealerships, which have such defined geographic markets, would object to running the same commercials as another dealer somewhere else.
It didn't bother Gary Grubbs, the advertising manager for the Lawrence Hall of Abilene dealership in Texas, which started running commercials last year. "Anything that's a good idea never stays an exclusive for very long."
The commercials don't escape criticism. Some call to complain that he isn't really a monkey at all, but rather a chimpanzee. (But Blixseth protested that "trunk chimpanzee" just didn't have the same je ne sais quoi.)
And some animal-rights activists are upset about the use of a primate in advertising. The agency contracts with a California company that provides animals for filming.
But some dealerships say the commercials have only brought positive comments — as well as suggestions from customers about potential scripts.
"It has totally changed our life," said Jane Delligatti, marketing director of Arnell Auto Group in Burns Harbor, Ind. "We have people calling, giving ideas for different spots. … This whole area of Northwest Indiana loves our Trunk Monkey."

Two Vancouver firefighters test positive for COVID-19
Vancouver Fire Hall 2 is seen in this file photo from 2016.
VANCOUVER -- Two firefighters with the Vancouver Fire Rescue Service have tested positive for COVID-19.
Both members were on holiday when they contracted the coronavirus, according to the City of Vancouver. It's not clear if they were vacationing together.
The first firefighter tested positive July 30. The second, who was self-isolating following contact with the first, tested positive July 31.
One of those firefighters worked a shift before showing symptoms and may have exposed others to the virus.
An undisclosed number of people are currently in self-isolation.
"The crews who worked with that individuals are now in self-isolation and other staff were called in to cover," the city said in a statement to CTV News Vancouver.
The city says there is no risk to the general public, and emergency response will not be hindered.
VFRS is taking direction from various health authorities, including Vancouver Coastal Health.
"Firefighters wear protective equipment on all calls and VFRS has sufficient apparatus and staff on duty to respond to all emergencies," said the statement.

The Red Rose open the defence of their title in Rome on February 4 and Jones appears ready to give several players who have been on the fringes of selection an opportunity against the Azzurri.
Bath No.8 Zach Mercer is in line to be handed his debut for England in the absences of Nathan Hughes and Billy Vunipola, who are both injured, while 21-year-old Harlequins prop Lewis Boyce could also get a start with club mate Joe Marler unavailable through suspension.
Australian-born prop Hepburn is another in the mix to replace Marler after another strong season for Premiership champions Exeter with the other new faces in the squad made up of Newcastle flanker Gary Graham, Northampton full-back Harry Mallinder, Saracens winger Nathan Earle, Bath hooker Tom Dunn and Harlequins fly-half Marcus Smith.
Jones says the absence of a few key players gives those without an England cap a chance to stake a claim for regular selection if they can put on a strong showing against Italy.
"I have selected the strongest available squad to prepare for our opening match against Italy," Jones said.
"While we have a few players unavailable through injury or suspension, it has provided opportunity for others who will be desperate to be involved in the Italy game."
Along with Hughes, Vunipola and Marler, Jones is also missing Wasps flanker James Haskell through suspension, while winger Elliot Daly has an ankle problem.

Wetland Conservation and Management for the Texas Central Coast
Water Level Management
Each species of plant and wildlife adapted for living in wetlands respond differently to changes in water levels. With the aid of a water control structure, water levels in a managed wetland can be manipulated efficiently to promote specific conditions beneficial for waterfowl and other wildlife. The following sections provide recommendations for managing water levels to benefit different groups of waterfowl and wetland birds.
Migratory Waterfowl: Shallow freshwater impoundments and fallow rice fields can be managed to promote plants that produce abundant seeds desired as food by waterfowl. Annual plant communities that produce abundant crops of seed respond positively to the gradual lowering of water levels during the growing season. Generally, drawdowns should commence after the beginning of the spring migration period for waterfowl (mid-March). Water should be released slowly, over a period of 1 to 2 months. Water control structures equipped with a riser and boards can achieve a slow release by removing a single board every 1 to 2 weeks. When the unit is completely dry, treatments to disturb the soil or remove rank vegetation may be necessary (see Vegetation Management). Water control structures should be closed in late summer and early fall to begin flooding wetland units prior to the arrival of migrating waterfowl.
Mottled Ducks, Whistling Ducks and Other Wetland Birds: Mottled ducks are present year-round on the Texas Coast. They depend on freshwater and intermediate wetlands for foraging, breeding, raising young and molting feathers. Wetland impoundments and fallow rice fields can be managed for mottled ducks by maintaining shallow water (6-24 inches) from late winter through summer. Managing water levels during the growing season also provide benefits for black-bellied and fulvous whistling ducks, wading birds (egrets, herons and ibis) and waterbirds (moorhens, gallinules and rails) that reside and breed in the Central Coast region. Maintaining water levels through most of the growing season promotes emergent vegetation, such as duck potato, large spikerush and bulrush, which produce tubers and rhizomes. These underground parts are high in carbohydrates and are commonly eaten by geese and large ducks in the fall and winter.
Shorebirds: The Texas Coast is an important migration corridor and wintering area for many shorebirds. These birds feed on small aquatic invertebrates in mudflats and in water less than 6 inches deep with little or no vegetation. Wetland impoundments and fallow rice fields are ideal sites to manage for such habitat. Managing for shorebird foraging habitat on the Central Coast requires a slow drawdown (1-2 months) or allowing water to evaporate naturally during the fall through spring migration period (mid-July through May). The fall migration period is considered the most crucial for shorebirds; thus, water level management providing the most benefits for shorebirds should occur from mid-July through early November.

Open Textbooks
"Course Correction: How Digital Textbooks Are Off Track and How to Set Them Straight"
The escalating cost of college textbooks—which typically add $700 to $1,000 to a student's annual cost of education—has generated an urgent need for solutions, says a study released last month.
Digital "e-textbooks" potentially offer greater affordability, printing options, and accessibility, but the versions that textbook publishers have released so far are failing to live up to that promise, concludes the study, conducted by the Student PIRGs, a Chicago-based coalition of student chapters of state-based "public interest research groups."
The groups surveyed 504 college students from Oregon and Illinois and 50 commonly assigned textbook titles.
The study argues that another emerging form of digital textbooks—open textbooks, which are distributed free under an open license—are a better solution, providing lower prices, more printing options, and accessibility.

It's real, guys, I have a one year old now! D turned one last week and we're so thankful to have him in our lives. This last year has been a blast and I cannot wait for many many more years next to this little guy.
As I said on the post before, he is walking (basically running) everywhere, he says a few words (cat is his favorite, of course,) he is really funny, loves music, his cats, books, and Dada. Being a stay at home mom is the best job ever and I'm so lucky to have a husband that supports me and works very hard every day to make this possible.
On the day of his birthday we just did things he loves doing it, like going to the Citibabes to play, going to the Vesuvio playground, watching Mickey Mouse and Curious George at home, and I let him try some of my favorite cake ever. The chocolate cake from Brigadeiro Bakery. The best!!! We had a little party for him over the weekend and I'll share some photos on another post. Xx
Happy First Birthday, Dylan. We love you so so much.

Many thanks to Adam L. who pointed out the Deseret News Holiday Print Ad for The Mansion,
Happened to coincide with Silver Beaver (the appropriate honorific for Scouts of this rank) Monson's decrying the "commercialization" of Christmas, and the need to turn to one's heart to the Spirit of Christmas, as found in Van Dyke's The Mansion. Synergy! Boo-Ya! A horrible cynic who has made a somewhat careful review of his talks might ask, "When was the last time this guy wrote his own material?"
[From lds.org's summary of the Anti-Commercialist But Anti-Anti-Mall Devotional]
"There is no better time than now, this very Christmas season, for all of us to rededicate ourselves to the principles taught by Jesus Christ," President Monson said. He spoke of witnessing the annual commercialization of Christmas, of seeing Christmas become less about Christ and more about sales, parties, and presents. And yet, President Monson said, "Christmas is what we make of it. Despite all the distractions, we can see to it that Christ is at the center of our celebration. If we have not already done so, we can establish Christmas traditions for ourselves and for our families which will help us capture and keep the spirit of Christ." Three Christmas Stories President Monson said that each year for Christmas, he reads the story of the birth of Christ as told in the Gospel of Luke. He also reads A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens and The Mansion by Henry Van Dyke, and he remembers the change of heart undergone by Ebenezer Scrooge and the lessons about the true meaning of giving learned by John Weightman.

Were all the promises fulfilled in A.D. 70?
Preterism is a Christian eschatological view that interprets some (Partial Preterism) or all (Full Preterism) prophecies of the Bible as events which have already happened. This school of thought interprets the Book of Daniel as referring to events that happened in the 2nd century BC, while seeing the prophecies of Revelation as events that happened in the first century AD. Preterism holds that Ancient Israel finds its continuation or fulfillment in the Christian church at the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. Adherents of preterism are commonly known as preterists. Preterism teaches that either all (Full Preterism) or a majority (Partial Preterism) of the Olivet discourse had come to pass by AD 70.The full preterist view is that the second coming of Christ happened in AD 70 and was a judgment and removal of the Old Covenant system (heaven and earth), and it established fully the kingdom, the New Covenant (New heavens and earth). Jesus came in the first century, just as He said He would, and there is NO mention anywhere in Scripture of a "third" coming. (Taken from this article: What is the Preterist View?)

Well hello there and welcome back to Writing Rambling! Today I'm talking about #DIY Initial Candle Holders, the ones we see everywhere over on Instagram and in many a blog photo! After not having success getting my hands on the ones I wanted, I came up with the idea of #DIY, why not make my own? It couldn't be that hard, surely?!
Thankfully I found it to be almost too easy to do! All I needed was two old tumblers, (we have plenty of those lying around!) a black permanent marker and the letters printed out to trace around! Simples and I couldn't have been happier at how quickly it as done! Now I have my very own Initial Candle Holders - and you can too!
After posting about them on Twitter, Prices Candles got in touch and offered to send me some candles! How awesome was that!? I was super happy let me tell you!
They kindly sent over:
4 of their 'Open Window' Tea-lights "which employ Odourfoyl technology to neutralise unwanted odours leaving your home smelling clean and fresh"
A Pomegranate and Walnut Seed scented tin. It smells amazing!
A Black Cherry Scented large jar candle
and finally....
2 of their Beeswax Church Candles.
I could not have been happier when I opened up my big box, which just seemed to be hiding a whole shop's worth of candles! I am amazed and super grateful to the team at Prices Candles for sending over these candles...my baths will never be unlit again!
The Beeswax Church Candles are too big to fit into my Initial Candle Holders at the moment, but the little tea-lights fit perfectly so I shall be using them from now on! They do all burn well, I tested them out when I relaxed in the bath last week.....I do love a candle lit bath..!
The only scent I'm not overly keen on has to be the black cherry unfortunately....there's something about it which just doesn't appeal to my nose, but I'll take it with me when I move next week and it will sit in my bathroom, looking pretty! I had to stack the tea-lights up in my Initial Candle Holders for them to look full, but don't they look great in these pictures!?
I really am so grateful to Prices Candles for sending these over! I'm definitely going to have fun playing around with them! Who knows, in a few months time with plenty of burning, those Beeswax Church Candles may well fit into my Holders!
I highly suggest you check out Prices Candles for affordable candles with a whole host of scents, they've actually just launched their Citronella Scent for Summer, which just looks incredible! I'd definitely love a bit of yellow for the upcoming seasons! I bet they smell incredible....!
Are you a candle fan!? Do you own an Initial Candle Holder? Have you ever thought of making your own?? Have I inspired you to give it a go!? It really is a simple #DIY!

Amazing-Man (John Aman) is a fictional, American comic book superhero whose adventures were published by Centaur Publications during the 1930s to 1940s in the Golden Age of Comic Books. Historians credit his creation variously to writer-artist Bill Everett[1] or to Everett together with Centaur art director Lloyd Jacquet.[2] Amazing-Man first appeared in Amazing-Man Comics #5 (Sept. 1939)
The character influenced the creation and origin of Charlton Comics' 1960s superhero Peter Cannon, Thunderbolt,[1] as well as Marvel Comics' Iron Fist character in the 1970s.[3]
Publication history
During the Golden Age of Comic Books, Centaur Publications produced Amazing-Man's eponymous series, Amazing-Man Comics, which ran from issues #5-26 (Sept. 1939 - Feb. 1942).
In the 1990s, Malibu Comics used the Centaur properties, including Amazing-Man, as the roster of its own superhero team, the Protectors. Aside from the costume, the Malibu version was essentially identical to the original.[4]
Amazing-Man was introduced into the Marvel Comics universe, with the character Prince of Orphans revealing his identity as John Aman at the end of Immortal Iron Fist #12 (Feb. 2008). Earlier in the issue, Prince of Orphans is seen turning into a green mist while battling Davos.
Additionally, under his original name, Amazing-Man is one of many public domain superheroes to appear in issue #0 of Project Superpowers, a miniseries from Dynamite Entertainment; a sketch of him is included in issue #2.
Fictional character biography
John Aman is an orphan from the West, chosen for his "superb physical structure" to be raised by benevolent monks in Tibet for the first 25 years of his life. Each member of The Council of Seven, as the monks are known, trained him to a superhuman degree of physical and mental ability, while also giving him the ability via a chemical solution to disappear into a cloud of green mist, earning him the secondary title of the Green Mist. After receiving his final tests, he is sent into the world to use his skills and abilities to do good. Opposing Aman, as he was often known, is his nemesis the Great Question, a disgruntled member of the Council of Seven.
Marvel Comics version
Aman had been sent by the Seven Cities of Heaven to assassinate Orson Randall — the Iron Fist before the present day — Danny Rand took on that mantle—in order to kill another "immortal weapon" like himself. Chasing Randall around the world, Aman would come close to killing his foe, only to yield honorably when Randall's allies would be injured. Eventually, Randall hinted that the masters of the Seven Cities had lied to Aman concerning the Tournament of the Seven Cities, in which every decade the victorious city is allowed to merge with the Earthly plane. Feeling betrayed after discovering the cities' masters had developed gateways to Earth without the knowledge of the cities' populace, Aman dropped his quest against Randall and vowed to make the city masters pay. Randall told Aman to assist the next Iron Fist in a revolution against the Seven Cities.[5]
The character later appeared in Secret Avengers #6-12 as the Prince of Orphans, to assist the Secret Avengers against the Shadow Council.[6] During this, it is revealed he met Captain America (Steve Rogers) during World War II.[7]
During the 2011 "Fear Itself" storyline, Prince of Orphans appears in Washington D.C. during Blitzkrieg U.S.A, helping with the rescue efforts, alongside War Machine, Beast and Ant-Man. He tells War Machine that the "Eighth City" has been opened.[8]
The character appeared as an antagonist in Matt Fraction's Defenders in 2012.[9]

Eastern Shore of Maryland
The Eastern Shore of Maryland is a part of the U.S. state of Maryland that lies predominantly on the east side of the Chesapeake Bay and consists of nine counties. As of the 2010 census, its population was 449,226, with just under 8 percent of Marylanders living in the region. The term "Eastern Shore" distinguishes a territorial part of the State of Maryland from the Western Shore of Maryland, land west of the Chesapeake Bay.

The Eastern Shore consists of nine Maryland counties on the Chesapeake Bay's eastern side—or eastern side of the Susquehanna River (the western border of Cecil County with Harford County. Pennsylvania borders across the Mason-Dixon Line), with Delaware to the east and north, the Atlantic Ocean on the east, and Virginia's own Eastern Shore on the south. Maryland's and Virginia's Eastern Shore and all of Delaware form the Delmarva Peninsula.
The counties comprising the Eastern Shore are Caroline, Cecil, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne's, Somerset, Talbot, Wicomico, and Worcester counties. To the south, the Calvert-Scarborough Line separates Maryland from Virginia. A modern Worcester County highway map (PDF) shows this location. While comprising different boundaries than in the 17th-18th century, the Eastern Shore's geographic definition was set once everyone agreed on where Watkins Point—on the western side of the peninsula—is and where the Bay's shoreline began (since the bay side peters out into marshes and wetlands).
In 1668, Philip [Calvert] obtained Virginia recognition of Maryland's claims to present-day Somerset County, surveying a dividing line between the two colonies with Surveyor General of Virginia, Edmund Scarborough. Meanwhile, he negotiated treaties with Lower Eastern Shore Indian tribes harassing English settlers. These treaties defined standards of conduct for Indian-English relations, establishing an overall peace in the region.[1]
The northern limit is harder to locate. Some dispute Cecil County as a true Shore territory due to I-95's presence with its surrounding developments, proximity to and influence from nearby urban areas like Philadelphia and Wilmington, and a position straddling the Elk River–leaving 50% west of the Shore.
Like New Castle County, Delaware, Cecil County is crossed by the fall line, a geologic division where the rockier highlands of the Piedmont region meet the Atlantic coastal plain, a flat, sandy area that forms the coast. The coastal plain includes the Delmarva Peninsula and hence the Eastern Shore of Maryland. The geology of Delmarva is an inseparable part of the Eastern Shore, which has few rocky outcrops south of Kent County.
The Chesapeake and Delaware Canal crosses from Back Creek on the Elk River to Port Penn, Delaware. While it was a shallow canal with locks after its construction in 1829, it was deepened in the early 20th century to sea level, and physically separates the Delmarva Peninsula from the rest of the United States. Maryland south of the canal is considered the Eastern Shore by residents. The term Western Shore is used by Eastern Shore residents to describe all the counties of Maryland west of the Chesapeake Bay, but especially those of the Baltimore-Washington metropolitan area and Southern Maryland.
The north-south section of the Mason-Dixon Line forms the border between Maryland and Delaware. The border was originally marked every mile by a stone, and every five miles by a "crownstone". The line is not quite due north and south, but is as straight as survey methods of the 1760s could make it. It was surveyed as a compromise solution to a century-long wrangle between the Penn and Calvert families of England. If the Chesapeake Bay/Delaware Bay watershed divide had been taken as the borderline, Delaware would be about half its current size.
Finally, although this has received less attention than other parts of Eastern Shore culture, commercial east-west ties between Delaware towns and Maryland towns were culturally significant in Colonial and Early American periods despite the border line (which largely cut through woods and swamps). Trade with Philadelphia was conducted by overland routes to Delaware towns like Odessa (then called Cantwell's Bridge) and Smyrna (then called Duck Creek). Agricultural products and milled grain were taken up the Delaware River by "shallop men" in small vessels called shallops. These cultural connections continue to this day.
Ocean City is a modern resort on what was once called the "seaside" or "seaboard side." It is on a long north-south sandspit that is essentially a barrier island.[2]
Early history
William Claiborne was granted land (part of the Colony of Virginia) in 1629 and named the land "Kent County". In 1631, he sailed north up the Chesapeake Bay from its south and west side to the area known today as Kent Island. There he made a fortified settlement that is considered to be the first English settlement within the Province of Maryland. Talbot County was formed in 1662. Cecil County was formed in 1674, by proclamation of the Governor, from eastern portions of Baltimore County and the northern portion of Kent County. Wicomico County was formed in 1867, as the 9th and last county, created from Somerset and Worcester counties.
Formation of the counties
- 1642 Kent County-In 1642, the governor and council appointed commissioners for the Isle and County of Kent. This act appears to have led to the establishment of Kent County, name after Kent County, England.
- 1661 Talbot County- named for Lady Grace Talbot, the wife of Sir Robert Talbot, an Irish statesman, and the sister of Cecilius Calvert, 2nd Baron Baltimore.
- 1666 Somerset County-named for Mary, Lady Somerset, the wife of Sir John Somerset and daughter of Thomas Arundell, 1st Baron Arundell of Wardour.
- 1669 Dorchester County-Named for the Earl of Dorset, a family friend of the Calverts (the founding family of the Maryland colony).
- 1674 Cecil County.
- 1706 Queen Anne's County- formed from northern parts of Talbot and southern portions of Kent. Name after Queen Anne of Great Britain who reigned when the county was established.
- 1742 Worcester County-named for an Earl of Worcester.
- 1773 Caroline County- formed from parts of Dorchester and Queen Anne's counties. The county derives its name from Lady Caroline Eden, wife of Maryland's last colonial governor of the Province of Maryland, Robert Eden.
- 1867 Wicomico County.
Later history
Ocean City was founded on July 4, 1875,[3] when the Atlantic Hotel opened on Assateague Island. At the time, Assateague Island was continuous from the Delaware state line to well south of Ocean City: the Ocean City Inlet was not formed until a hurricane in August 1933 cut across the south end of the town, although the inlet was cut not by waves sweeping inland, but by 4 or 5 days' worth of freshwater runoff from the coastal creeks running seaward. By 1935, government money had built jetties to make the inlet permanent, dividing Fenwick Island (north) from Assateague Island (south). Early transportation to the island was by train.
Until the 1820s, travel and commerce between the Eastern Shore and Baltimore were less important than the connections between it and Philadelphia. Water travel by sailboat and steamer linked the Eastern Shore to Baltimore more tightly beginning about 1813, when the first steamboat traveled the Bay. By the 1880s, railroad lines linked the Eastern Shore to Philadelphia and later, Norfolk, Virginia, by way of a railroad line straight south from Wilmington to Dover, Delmar, Salisbury, and Cape Charles. Maryland's Eastern Shore was served by branch lines running generally southwest from the main route. See List of railroad lines in the Delmarva Peninsula. The Eastern Shore's many branchlines were built after the Civil War by local companies; eventually all were controlled by the Pennsylvania Railroad (which also bought control of the steamboat and ferry routes), then Conrail, and now Norfolk Southern.
An east-west rail route ran from a ferry terminal at Claiborne, west of St. Michaels, to Ocean City, via the Baltimore and Eastern Shore Railroad and the Wicomico and Pocomoke Railroad. Travelers could also take a ferry to Love Point on Kent Island, board a Queen Anne's Railroad train, and travel east to Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware.
Automobile transportation across the Chesapeake Bay was by ferryboat until 1952, when the first Chesapeake Bay Bridge was opened for traffic.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s developers began selling lots on Assateague Island, south of the inlet. However, a storm on March 6, 1962 destroyed houses, shacks, and roads.[4] The state and federal governments intervened before reconstruction by creating the Assateague Island National Seashore and Assateague State Park.
An Eastern Shore Baseball League operated on three different occasions between 1922 and 1949.[5] It was a Class D minor league with teams in all three states of Delmarva.
Although the Eastern Shore comprises more than a third of Maryland's land area, it has a population of 420,792 (2004 census estimate), about 8% of Maryland's population.
The most populous city on the Eastern Shore is Salisbury, and the most populous county is Wicomico County. The Salisbury metropolitan area is the only metropolitan statistical area and the only Combined Statistical Area is the Salisbury-Ocean Pines CSA.

As a whole the Eastern Shore is generally conservative. The region has a history of strongly supporting Republican candidates for governor as Republicans Ellen Sauerbrey in 1994 and 1998, Bob Ehrlich in 2002, 2006 and 2010 and Larry Hogan in 2014 swept all nine counties. At the presidential level, the Eastern Shore also leans Republican although Kent and Somerset Counties have flipped back and forth for Democrats and Republican presidential candidates.
The Eastern Shore has long been a part of Maryland's 1st Congressional district.[7] Democrat Roy Dyson represented the 1st district from 1981 until he was defeated by Republican Wayne Gilchrest in 1990. Gilchrest held the seat until 2008 when State Senator Andy Harris defeated him in the Republican primary. Harris narrowly lost the subsequent general election to Democrat attorney Frank Kratovil. In 2010, Harris again ran for the district and defeated Kratovil after a single term in office. Harris was overwhelmingly re-elected in 2012 and 2014.
In the Maryland General Assembly, the Eastern Shore encompasses a portion of district 35B and all of districts 35A, 36, 37A and 37B, 38A, 38B and 38C. All seats are held by Republicans except for state delegate in district 37A and state senator in district 38.
Marylanders visit Ocean City.[citation needed][clarification needed] The city composes a distinct culture of the Shore.[citation needed] The skyline, containing tall hotels and condominiums, stands out within Delmarva.[citation needed] On Ocean City's southern end a recreational boardwalk spans over thirty blocks, containing carnival rides and games, restaurants, bars, arcades, and clothing boutiques.[citation needed]
Tourists visit St. Michaels on a neck surrounded by water;[citation needed] the colonial former port of Oxford;[citation needed] Chestertown;[citation needed] and isolated Smith Island[citation needed] in the Chesapeake Bay. North of Crisfield is Janes Island State Park, with camping and kayaking trails through marshlands.[citation needed]
At the southern end of the Chesapeake coast of Maryland, the town of Crisfield is home to a fishing, crabbing, and seafood processing industry.
The main economic activities on the Eastern Shore are vegetable and grain farming, seafood, large-scale chicken breeding (Perdue Farms was founded in Salisbury and is headquartered there today), and tourism. Tobacco was grown during colonial times. The agricultural economy switched to grain in the second quarter of the 18th century.[8][unreliable source?]
Various waterways provide a medium for commerce and boaters: the Atlantic Ocean; Chesapeake Bay; the Susquehanna River; and the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
There are three major routes onto the Shore:
- The Chesapeake Bay Bridge spans Script error: No such module "convert". of the Chesapeake Bay, and at the time of construction in 1952, was the longest continuous over-water steel structure.[9] A second parallel span was added in 1973 and a third has been discussed, most recently in 2006. A third span will not open, according to state officials, until about 2025. The bridges made Kent Island, site of the first English settlement on the Shore, into a bedroom community for Washington, Annapolis, and Baltimore. Kent Island is part of Queen Anne's County.
- U.S. Route 13
- Maryland Route 213
The two major highways on the Eastern Shore are U.S. Route 13 and U.S. Route 50, which meet in Salisbury.
The Salisbury-Ocean City Wicomico Regional Airport, in Salisbury,[10] is the only commercial airport on the Delmarva Peninsula.
Airports for private planes include:
- Bay Bridge Airport in Stevensville[11]
- Cambridge-Dorchester Airport in Cambridge[12]
- Crisfield Municipal Airport in Crisfield.[13]
- Easton Airport, in Easton[14]
- Ocean City Municipal Airport in Ocean City[15]
The Eastern Shore has made several attempts to separate from Maryland. Proposals were debated in Maryland's General Assembly in 1833-1835, 1852, and 1998. There were earlier proposals visualizing a state encompassing the Delmarva Peninsula. The 1998 proposal by state Senators Richard F. Colburn and J. Lowell Stoltzfus did not specify a status for Eastern Shore's nine counties following secession, but suggested the new state's name could be "Delmarva".[16]
The Delmarva Shorebirds are a minor league baseball team who play Class A baseball in the South Atlantic League at Arthur W. Perdue Stadium in Salisbury, affiliated with the Baltimore Orioles.
Salisbury hosts the largest bicycling event east of the Mississippi - the Seagull Century; the nation's second-largest KCBS barbecue competition - Pork in the Park; and two major Maryland wine and craft beer festivals.[citation needed]
Easton hosts a three-day artist event, the Waterfowl Festival, every November. Duck and goose hunting from blinds is a popular activity using carved wooden duck decoys, which can also be prized works of art.[17]

ODC Dance
ODC is a groundbreaking contemporary arts institution with longstanding roots in the San Francisco community. The organization was formed by Brenda Way in 1971 as a collective of artists at Oberlin College in Ohio where the name ODC originates (Oberlin Dance Collective). Adventure, a certain irreverence and the joy of moving were key ingredients to the core philosophy of our founding members. In 1976, the sixteen dancers, painters, writers, photographers and musicians of the collective bid farewell to Ohio, piled into a big yellow bus and came west to San Francisco to find a context for their artistic vision and social ideals.
Now one of the most active centers for dance on the West Coast, we are unique for our fully integrated program vision and far-reaching impact. Our two building campus features eight studios, 2 performance venues and several office suites, is home to a world-class dance company, a professional, pre-professional, and recreational dance training program, a Healthy Dancer's Clinic, and a nationally regarded presenting venue.
Operating in San Francisco's Mission district for 40 years, our programs and numerous neighborhood activities have contributed to community development, stability and access to creative art-making. Presenting, co-presenting, scholarship, work exchange, apprentice, sponsorship and rental programs are all here to serve the large professional dance, music and theater communities in San Francisco.
