The short-term, memory holed, 48-hour media cycle would have us all brush aside what transpired in Washington D.C. on Dec. 9.
A few soundbites here and there and then treason is quietly put on a shelf to collect dust, awaiting the next debacle, but we don't forget here at Infowars.
Especially when the entire population of the United States has been insulted by one of the globalist's minions. Now that the 48-hour cycle has rolled out of the dinosaur media's door, here are highlights from the treasonous mouth of one Jonathan Gruber, MIT Professor, architect of the giant tax known as Obamacare. For us to never forget and refuse to allow to repeat as we seek to have the economy crippling health care law eliminated.

Originally published in icon Issue 1 2006
As readers know, we have been providing a lot of information on hypothermia and the ability of ultrasound to kill cancer cells. We see this as quite possibly one of the treatments of the future for cancer. By and large it is non-invasive, takes only a couple of days (for prostate cancer it has an 87 per cent plus 5-year survival rate compared with the norm of 56 per cent in the UK) and it can be used to treat a variety of cancers.
We have presented articles on Dr John Holt in Australia, on Stepping Hill Hospital, Stockport, UK (where Consultant Urologist - Stephen Brown is undertaking the UK´s first controlled test with prostate cancer), on its use with kidney cancer and on the 61 centres around Europe using High Intensity Ultrasound (HIFU). Many of our readers have expressed an interest in the treatment.
Now in our postbag comes a leaflet and DVD on Haifu. So what´s the difference? Well, for your information I will quote directly from the literature received. (In other words don´t hold me accountable for the answers!
Can the process kill cancer cells?
The cancer cells in the area treated are killed.
How long does the treatment take?
It can take several hours depending on the size and position of the tumour. With very large tumours it may take more than one session.
What are the side effects?
Following treatment there may be some minor skin blisters, some swelling over the treatment site and at least half the patients describe some pain. Like any treatment conducted under a general anaesthetic there is always some risk.
Does the process hurt?
During the treatment the patient is asleep under anaesthetic and will feel no pain.
How long do I have to stay in hospital?
Every patient so far has been able to go home the following day.
Can HIFU be used to treat any other forms of tumour?
HIFU has been used to treat a variety of tumours including liver, kidneys, soft tissue tumours, breast, pancreas, uterine fibroids and, using other kinds of machines prostate tumours.
Does it stop me having any other kinds of treatment?
No. Currently, due to the nature of ´our´ (sic) clinical trials most patients have had other treatments prior to HIFU.
How long has this technology been available?
It´s been used in China since 1977 and the Oxford Churchill Hospital has had the only unit in the Western Hemisphere since 2001.
What´s the difference between HIFU and Haifu?
HIFU is an acronym of High Intensity Focussed Ultrasound. Haifu is a registered brand name owned by the Changqing Haifu Technology Company, China.
The literature sent to me supplied the following contact details Ultrasound Therapeutics Ltd, Suite 2, 1st Floor, New Mansion House, 173/191 Wellington Road South, Stockport, Cheshire, SK1 3UA, England. (Tel 0161 477 6111).

One Night Only
- Barbra Streisand
- Columbia
Last September, after releasing her "jazz" album, Streisand made a heavily publicized return to the Village Vanguard, performing before a crowd of 123. For those who couldn't get in, there's this CD/DVD; whether it was worth the wait depends on whether you prefer your Streisand singing or chatting. The vocals aren't as pristine as in the studio, but her interpretive instincts remain razor sharp, particularly on If You Go Away (Ne me quitte pas). And while her celebrity pals - Sarah Jessica Parker, Nicole Kidman, Bill and Hillary Clinton - are nice video fare, Streisand's tendency to talk to them over the piano solos makes the event seem more like a club social than a show.

The best of both.
When you need the support of a shoe but crave the furry softness of a slipper, slip on the Acorn Women's Chinchilla Bootie II Slipper. This elegant low bootie features an enhanced raised heel and arch for stability and support and a non-slip weatherproof outsole so you can wear it outdoors (or even on slippery floors) with confidence. The Acorn memory foam midsole layered over cushioning EVA further enhances the bootie's comfort. You can't blame your foot if it's fooled by the plush felt uppers lined with luxurious faux chinchilla fur—they feel just like an awfully nice slipper.

- Fit: True to size
Gave these to my wife and she absolutely loves them! She wears them all the time at home and she likes them enough to wear them when we got out! Fair warning though she said they felt tight for the first couple of days but once the were broken in they were the most comfortable things she puts on her feet. Also they smell like a car air freshener and I thought that was a bit odd.
Perfect Slippers
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size

Received these from my daughter for Christmas. They have all the features I've been looking for in a slipper. They're warm and comfortable and fit true to size. I love the rubber soles for taking the trash out to the garage or grabbing the paper from the driveway in the morning. Easy to get on and off. Couldn't be happier.
awesome for winter

got this for my mom in law for christmas last year and she loves them! she wears them all the time cuz she always has cold feet, super comfy.
she wears a size 10 so I got the xl
comfortable but the outsole really smells.....
The design is nice, and it is comfortable and warm wearing these. But the rubber sole smells so I returned them.

This fantasy football season there are some real deals to be had in the second round. One of these great value picks is Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson.
Johnson is currently falling well into the second round on draft day and the veteran can be the perfect RB2 in standard leagues. However, his slow start to the 2012 fantasy season has caused many people to steer clear of Johnson this year.
He started the season off miserably by averaging just 15 rushing yards through the first three games. Johnson quickly turned it up over the next 13 games, though, as he averaged 92.5 rushing yards per game. He even added runs of 80, 83, and 94 yards in leagues that add extra points for long scampers. Johnson looked like vintage CJ2K at the end of the year, but yet people are still sleeping on the three-time Pro Bowler.
Despite everyone hating on Johnson, the speedster still finished with 1,243 rushing yards and six touchdowns. He also hauled in 36 balls for 232 yards. It ended up being a rather decent season for Johnson.
Additionally, Johnson has looked outstanding this preseason. In the team's first preseason game, Johnson had a 58-yard touchdown run against the Washington Redskins. Johnson carried the ball seven times for 30 yards against the Cincinnati Bengals in the team's second preseason game. The 27-year-old looks much healthier this season and seems primed to have a huge fantasy campaign.
Johnson is no longer an elite back in the league, but he can certainly be used as a second back. I consider him a steal this season and would do everything I could to get him after the top-10 guys come off the board.

That's not a lot to go on. Do they use this lettering on anything else?
Also, please, can you edit this title to include 'sans', because usually 'modern' is a term for a high contrast serif typeface. This title is too close to the generic 'identify this font' title that usually accounts for almost half the threads. There's almost no good way to find the thread again if we can't find the answer in a few minutes.
For this thread "'nine hours gh' soft sans" would be much easier to find again. Thanks.

The Case for a Progressive Tax: From Basic Research to Policy Recommendations
45 Pages Posted: 24 Aug 2011
Date Written: August 24, 2011
This paper presents the case for tax progressivity based on recent results in optimal tax theory. We consider the optimal progressivity of earnings taxation and whether capital income should be taxed. We critically discuss the academic research on these topics and when and how the results can be used for policy recommendations. We argue that a result from basic research is relevant for policy only if (a) it is based on economic mechanisms that are empirically relevant and first order to the problem, (b) it is reasonably robust to changes in the modeling assumptions, (c) the policy prescription is implementable (i.e., is socially acceptable and is not too complex). We obtain three policy recommendations from basic research that satisfy these criteria reasonably well. First, very high earners should be subject to high and rising marginal tax rates on earnings. Second, low income families should be encouraged to work with earnings subsidies, which should then be phased-out with high implicit marginal tax rates. Third, capital income should be taxed. We explain why the famous zero marginal tax rate result for the top earner in the Mirrlees model and the zero capital income tax rate results of Chamley-Judd and Atkinson-Stiglitz are not policy relevant in our view.

God asks us to love others as we love ourselves. We need to fill our own cups with kindness and compassion so that we can share that love with others, yet sometimes we put ourselves last on our to-do lists. So here are some ways that will help you love yourself more so that you can love others better.
1. Discover God's perfect love for you by reading the Scriptures. Psalms is a good place to start. Consider this verse: "I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well (Psalm 139:14).
2. Write down a list of all your talents, gifts, and abilities. Ask your friends and family to add to your list. Then, if you're feeling unworthy or less than whole, read your list. (In our family, we celebrate Christmas Eve by creating a love box for each family member. We write down those things we love about each family member and then place it in a box. It's one of our most cherished possessions!)
3. Each morning, ask God to help you feel His infinite love for you and then find at least one way to share that love with someone else.
4. Stop the negative self-talk that says you are worthless or less than wonderful.
5. Choose friends that build you up.
6. Forgive yourself for being human and imperfect.
7. Do not allow the words or actions of others to determine your self-worth.
8. Memorize some positive affirmations that remind you of your worth. Here's one: I am loveable, and I am loved. As I child of God, I have divine qualities and gifts. When I ask for His help, God gives me the power to use these gifts to bless myself and others.
9. At the end of each day, thank God for creating you and for using you as His instrument to make the world a better place.
10. Do one loving thing for yourself each day. Spend a few minutes meditating. Read something that inspires you. Take a walk. Call a friend.
11. Find someone who needs your love and do one loving thing each day. That will radically increase your feelings of self-worth.
12. Set healthy boundaries. You cannot be all things for all people and maintain healthy balance in your lifetime. Sometimes the most loving thing you can say is "no."
13. Trust that the Lord is working in your life, even during the difficult times. Commit to memory these words from Proverbs: "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths."
14. Do not compare yourself with others. (If you haven't already, read the previous post.)
15. Allow God to show you how much He loves you. Consider these words: "Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure (1 John 3:1-3).
Allow God to hold you in the arms of His love today. He loves you infinitely and will teach you how to love yourself more completely. As we ask for His help, He will reveal His love to you.

Hi all,
I am writing this in hopes of trying to understand a vision I had when I was 13, a vision that left me with marks on the palms of my hands. I know ultimently God is the only one who knows the true reason for the vision and the marks that were left on me but I was looking for insight, perhaps the holy spirit in someone will speak to me through this message.
The Events leading to the vision :
I was in some trouble and cursed God for it, blaming him instead of blaming myself. I told him I was with the devil and was on his side. Days afterward I laid in my bed looking out my window trying to talk to him, I think I may have been apologizing. That night I had the vision.
The vision :
I was sleeping dreaming of myself in the school yard. A boy I went to school with and I were horsing around when he picked me up by my jacket with both hands. When he lifted me up I looked in the sky. There I seen a man who looked to be old, with a long white beard. He was dressed in red robe that had gold designs on it, with a red hat on his head similar to that they wear in the catholic church with pieces of the red fabric triling off the back. In his right hand was a scepter that looked to be bronze or gold with a red ruby on the top. I was rising in the air entranced in his glory and fear of him, my arms outstretched to him. He pointed the scepter at me, I stared at him and then I awoke.
After the vision :
When I woke up I was completely paralized, I couldn't feel my body, I couldn't open my eyes or even speak. I laid there for quite some time until my feeling started to come back. Then I realized my arms were in the air raised like they were in the vision. I knew this dream was different, it felt real and the paralysis was all to real. It really freaked me out and I didn't understand it at all.
The next day in shop class I felt pain in the palm of my left hand and looked to see what I thought was a splinter. I tried to dig it out but could not get it all out. It wasn't a splinter, I had picked out almost all of a mole in the plam of my hand. I realized days later that there was another mole in the plam of my right hand. Most of the mole in my left hand is gone, but you can still see it, the mole on my right is intact. They don't look like normal moles either, they are under the skin as apposed to being on top of it.
I have often wondered if it was a curse on my hands that I recieved, if I am cursed to hell. Was it jesus I seen? He was wearing different clothing then when other people describe seeing him. He also had white hair, like in the book of revelations. If anyone has any ideas please don't heasitate to jump in and try to decipher this vision. I have asked him to show me and have asked him to explain it to me but I have not seen him again. I know ultimently he will show it to me when I am ready but I would like to hear anyone's thoughts on it.
Thanks and God bless.

Jan who was featured on our website few months ago came back to share with us his first series of black and white film photos in Lisbon, Portugal that he developed by himself.
"The following photographs were taken during travelling to Portugal in 2010. It was my first time to shoot with a borrowed Nikon F-801s and a rather trashy Lubitel 166B cameras, then developing in my bathroom (to be honest i shot around 10 to 15 rolls and the outcome wasn"t perfect in terms of photographic quality)."

Patchogue delays parking meter launch
Patchogue Village has postponed the launch of metered parking in the downtown business district for an unspecified period.
Deputy Mayor Jack Krieger made the announcement at Monday night's village meeting, after which board members passed a resolution, 4-0, to lease 11 more meters, for a total of 33. The 11 meters would be leased for $117,000, bringing the total cost of meters $350,000.
Metered parking had been set to launch on Sept. 3, but Krieger said plans are still being hashed out. "We are exploring the program to find more parking and fine-tuning the plan," Krieger said Tuesday.
At the meeting, Krieger said one change being considered is charging downtown employees $5 per month for a vehicle sticker to ensure parking. Village officials have said many downtown employees park near their jobs all day for free, filling up most of the village's 2,000 downtown parking spaces by 9 a.m.
David Kennedy, executive director of the Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce, said downtown employees such as bartenders and waitresses fear that paying for evening parking could eat away at their wages. Other employees expressed concern over possibly having to walk long distances to parking lots with tip money on their person.
Krieger, who unveiled the proposal in July to address a lack of adequate downtown parking, said metered parking would generate about $500,000 annually. The revenue would go toward lighting, security, cameras and landscaping.
The meters would be scattered throughout downtown, possibly costing 25 cents per half-hour, and $5 to park overnight.
Village officials said top-of-the-line meters with the latest technology would be used, allowing residents to use their cellphones or credit cards to pay for parking. A parking meter company has not been selected.Port Jefferson, Huntington, Babylon, Lindenhurst and Great Neck use similar meters, officials said.
Village officials also said many parking sections will be color-coded to differentiate between designated morning, evening, overnight, free and employee areas.

The test turned out to be quite successful, with following speeds of 1.5m/s achieved under autonomous control provided by an on-board Raspberry Pi 3. This is significantly faster than the winning UAV in MAAXX Europe this year, which is quite pleasing!
The YouTube video shows both on-board and off-board camera footage, the former demonstrating the roaming regions of interest used by OpenCV to maintain a lock under varying lighting conditions.
Whilst the test was successful, there remain significant barriers to the higher-speed, lower level flight that I want to achieve.
- Currently, altitude sensing is by barometer only, the accuracy of which is clearly limiting at low altitudes. I'm going to introduce a sonar in the first instance to give programmatic altitude control, adjustable in-flight by a pot on the transmitter.
- Surface reflection 'white-out' of the line. These cause the range at which the line can be reliably spotted to be considerably reduced. A higher speeds, a forward looking camera is essential, however this also means the higher angles of incident light make it prone to surface reflection from the line which cause it to appear white. There are a number of physical and programmatic changes that can be made to take account of this.
- Manoeuvrability. At 3Kg, the Groundhog only turns so fast. If the line curves faster than it can turn, the lock is lost. Again, several solutions here, but the Groundhog is not just following a line, it is plotting it out in NED space. This means it should be able to learn where the line should be. I think that's enough of a clue…

As much as everyone likes to cheer on the hero, there are certain movies where you can't help but feel some sympathy for the baddie. Sometimes, combinations of great writing and acting come together to make the movie villains the star of the show.
In fact, villains can be even more memorable than heroes thanks to their dastardly deeds, charisma and ability to strike terror into people's hearts. Here are the 16 greatest movie villains ever:
#1. Darth Vader
David Prowse, Star Wars Franchise (1977-1983)
Though he's most known for his heavy breathing and telling Luke about that whole paternity thing, Darth Vader is utterly terrifying throughout the films.

Jennifer Aniston is opening up about life with hubby Justin Theroux and the reasons behind her highly-read op-ed piece on celebrity gossip that garnered attention back in August in the new issue of Marie Claire.
The 47-year-old gets candid about her open letter on Huffington Post in which she criticized the "business of lies" drummed up by tabloids constantly publishing "is-she-or-isn't-she?" pregnancy reports and the general scrutinization of women's bodies.
RELATED: EXCLUSIVE: Courteney Cox On Jennifer Aniston Being Dragged Into Brangelina Split Drama: 'It's Not About Her'
"My marital status has been shamed; my divorce status was shamed; my lack of a mate had been shamed; my nipples have been shamed," Aniston tells the magazine. "It's like, 'Why are we only looking at women through this particular lens of picking us apart? Why are we listening to it?' I just thought: I have worked too hard in this life and this career to be whittled down to a sad, childless human."
Aniston's personal life has been under the microscope for years, and has again flared up in the wake of the widely-publicized split between ex-husband Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. Aniston was quick to distance herself from the divorce celebration memes, as did husband Theroux, who the actress opens up about to Marie Claire.
RELATED: Justin Theroux Is Fine With Being Called 'Mr. Jennifer Aniston': 'It's An Honour To Stand Behind Her'
"Why is he the right person for me? All I know is that I feel completely seen, and adored, in no matter what state. There's no part of me that I don't feel comfortable showing, exposing. And it brings forth the best part of myself, because I care about him so much," she reveals. "And he's such a good person. It hurts me to think of anything hurting him."
The December issue of Marie Claire hits newsstands on November 15.

System isn't fair, we need flat income tax
I do not think that the U.S. system of taxation is fair when approximately 50 percent of the population pay no income taxes at all, and a portion even get a refund even though they have paid no taxes.
A fair tax is a flat income tax — operational and direct social justice. In fact, our sales tax is a flat tax —- everyone pays the same percentage. And I don't hear any liberal politicians complaining about that.
And please don't bring up the insane argument that a flat income tax hurts people with lower incomes more than those with higher incomes — rubbish. It always hurts when you are forced to give money to a government that wantonly squanders it in every way imaginable.
If everyone had skin in the game, the majority of the population would begin to scrutinize what the government is doing with its money.
In fact, public pressure due to realization of government waste prompted by being required to pay a flat income tax by itself might begin to clean up the government mess, although that's asking a lot. And it would put many tax attorneys, accountants and tax preparers out of business.
However, changing our income tax system to a flat tax could not be more disruptive than changing our health care system to a virtual one-payer system (Obamacare), but that's happening, isn't it? So, why not a fair flat simple income tax?
J.W. Yager
Some of the system is fair, some is not
Do I think the tax system is fair? Well, yes and no.
The graduated income tax is fair, but some of the other taxes are not.
Regarding the income tax; aren't our mental abilities also graduated? Can we count on those with mental advantages to concern themselves with their inferiors?
Too often, the mentally gifted use their wits to gain advantage and rig the free-enterprise system. They fund think tanks, hire lobbyists, fund political campaigns, and own radio stations, TV stations, and newspapers. To what purpose? To create loopholes, exemptions and various deductions.
But let's credit those who have a sense of decency and willingly to accept higher taxes so that others might enjoy some level of the good life.
Marv Tripp
Should be simplified for mere mortals
Let's see, there are more than 14,000 pages of rules and regulations for the U.S. tax code. How could it possibly be fair? If you call in to IRS with a question 10 times, you are likely to get 10 different answers.
For the tax code to be fair, it must be understandable. I realize there are many CPAs making a living off this hodge-podge, but really, this could be simplified so mere mortals can use it.
And with corporations getting tax breaks for off-shoring our jobs and millionaires paying less tax than their administrative assistants, I'd say the rules were written by the rich for their own benefit. Yet the spineless in Congress won't try to rewrite it, because they don't understand it themselves.
Jim Cauble
Tax code clearly is not equitable
Lower income people are taxed too high and high income too low.
The middle income taxpayers are penalized for saving money, then investing wisely to support a decent living. The tax on capital gains for the middle class is too high.
The millionaires and billionaires have too many tax loopholes, which allow them to reduce their tax bills.
The middle class are the folks that pay the bills. Only in America the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
Robert Beaudreau
Tax code difficult to understand
Could anyone say our tax system is fair?
No single person can understand the tax code. Whole lives are devoted to writing difficult-to-comprehend tax sections devoted to the interest — and gain — of a few or to tax disfavored groups.
Citizens should be able to understand who benefits and why others must pay. The tax code is thousands of pages long. Explanations add tens of thousands more. Once a tax becomes law, those who benefit resist change. Benefits for one segment of the economy can be enormous and those who individually pay only a small part find it costly to force change.
Suggestions to reduce number of new laws:
Taxes shouldn't be used to reward preferred groups by taking from those less favored.
Joe Moran
Our tax system is absurdly unfair
All taxes by their nature are unfair.
They take from those who have earned — usually by pursuing a rigorous education toward high-demand occupations or managing capital created by generations of family sweat — and turn money over for services to all. Often those services are used by others who either cannot or will not contribute commensurately.
Any system where half of workers support the other half is askew. A top earner pays 33 percent federal and 9 percent state taxes — almost half his income. This is before sales, gasoline, transportation taxes and further fees for public colleges, parks, bridges, parking, special districts, etc.
Yet, some still feel government should support their every desire. The ACLU argues that welfare caps destroy reproductive freedom, though any American may have as many children as she wishes to support through employment, business or a provident marriage.
We have become absurd.
Diane Carpenter
Fairness depends on point of view
The basic concept of funding certain projects and services for the common good of our society by collecting the needed funds via taxation is practical, wise and, if organized by fair-minded people, will likely be fair and just.
People who are able to hold this concept embrace their sense of responsibility and are happy to share collectively with — and for the good of — their fellow citizens. Some people choose not to buy into this manner of social responsibility and, instead, feel victimized by an exploitative entity.
Because of the growing corruption in the sphere of government in the United States, both in policies and leadership, the funds collected are being wasted and virtually stolen for personal gain, rather than spent wisely and justly.
Thus, it hardly matters if the collection process is fair or not, when the funds are looked upon as a cash cow by greedy crony-capitalists who purchase political influence in order to win government contracts that are little more than their opportunity to suck from the teat of their "cash cow."

In California s central valley, five women and one man join to discuss Jane Austen s novels. Over the six months they get together, marriages are tested, affairs begin, unsuitable arrangements become suitable, and love happens. With her eye for the frailties of human behaviour and her ear for the absurdities of social intercourse, Karen Joy Fowler has never been wittier nor her characters more appealing. The result is a delicious dissection of modern relationships.
In her portrait of a California reading group, Karen Joy Fowler turns a mirror on the gawking, voyeuristic presence that lurks in every story: the reader. What results is Fowler's shrewdest, funniest fiction yet, a novel about how we engage with a novel. You don't have to be a student of Jane Austen to enjoy it, either. At the end are plot synopses of all six Austen novels for the benefit of the forgetful, the uninitiated or the nostalgic.

I'd check your data
I'd check what is different between the records you can see and thise you can't. Possible causes could be additional spaces
"Notebook " is not the same as "Notebook"
I don't think the capoitalisiation will matter - I'm pretty certain that JET is case insensitive as default.
Its possible that that if you are using a join on your data that you join criteria are excluding records.
BTW its generally better to use a separate table to store types such as notebook, desktop, printer etc. The reason if you use an exteranl table and then use a foreign key to refer to that element then you don't get these sort of problems.

To conclude my round of reviews on literary sessions held at the ATA Conference, here's a delightful take on the dynamics between author and translator
During the 53rd Annual Conference organized October 24-27, 2012 by the American Translators Association (ATA) in San Diego, I attended a session entitled Author and Translator: A Success Story. It was coordinated by the Italian Language Division and divided into two one-hour presentations by Italian to English translator Giles Watson and Italian author Beppe Severgnini.
The first part of the presentation was intended to introduce two characters who really need no introduction. Severgnini is the best-selling contemporary Italian author in the United States. Watson is nothing more, nothing less than his voice in English.
They have been working together for over twenty years, when the translator first contacted the author to offer help with his writing. "He wrote me and asked if he could point out a few mistakes I had made," Severgnini recalls, mentioning his 1990 book Inglesi. "Then he sends me this 5-page letter explaining all the factual errors in my book."
From this constructive criticism, a dynamic relationship was born. "We are much the same age," Watson begins to highlight what brought them together. "We both come from middle-class, professional backgrounds and, perhaps most importantly, we both had a classics-oriented secondary education, which gives us a shared love of language."
They also complement each other due to their differences in personality and behavior, not only because of their culture and heritage―one is Scottish, the other one is Italian―but because of the roles they play as well.
The translator is quieter, methodical, and chronological. The author is passionate, entertaining, and anecdotal. They said it was the first time they ever got together for such a presentation, but as one of the audience members pointed out, they could easily quit their day jobs and become a stand-up duo, for their timing and interaction were pitch perfect.
Like a couple, they are jokingly bickering one minute, then finishing each other's sentences moments later. Like brothers, they seem to always have each other's back. Like best friends, they highlight each other's qualities. And, as ideal business partners, one picks up where the other one left off.
An Italian in America ― Their first collaboration came in 1992 with L'inglese. Lezioni semiserie―a parody of phrasebooks with actually useful English sentences and expressions for a tourist's everyday practical use.
Then, after spending a year in the United States as a correspondent for Italian newspaper La Voce, Severgnini decided to turn his American experience into what came to be his 1995 hitUn italiano in America. When the time came to have it translated into English, he decided to contact his new best friend. "Mr. Watson, why don't we just work together, so you can help me before the first edition comes out?" he proposed.
Severgnini wanted to make the book available in English following a small-scale publishing strategy targeted at expatriates. "We were foolish enough to do something nobody wanted to do," the author says. But their efforts paid off: An Italian in America, in English, was published in Italy in 2001 and the following year it debuted in the USA under the title Ciao, America! An Italian Discovers the U.S..
"You read the Italian, you read the English, it's all there. You don't miss anything and there are only a few twists," Severgnini complimented his friend Watson. "I was being very indulgent with some of the more florid phrases," the translator quickly replied. "When an author thinks about his writing, translating it becomes easy. When he doesn't, it's like cleaning up after a party," Watson returned the compliment.
Success ― Severgnini said that nobody seemed to be paying much attention to the book months after the English version came out in the United States. Since he had been working as the London correspondent for Corriere della Sera for quite some time, he knew several journalists in the United States and invited them all to attend one of his talks in Chicago.
"I thought they could act as a bridge for the book," he admits. "But the miracle happened in Washington. It was literally a Miracle on 34th Street," he adds. That was when the book got on CNN's radar, and the rest was history.
Readers liked what they read so much, they started to flock to the author's former house in the U.S., similarly to what happened in Italy after the release of Frances Mayes' Under the Tuscan Sun. Fans wanted to take pictures in front of the property and, sometimes, tried to visit the garden described at length in the book.
"The new owners ended up selling it because of the lack of privacy," the author pointed out. "I went to see them one time and they said, 'Sorry, we can't readmit you.' I told them, 'You bought it, but the house will always be mine.'"
When a younger couple moved in and fell in love with the history behind the location, they promptly welcomed him in. They even posted a sign that read something like 'Home to An Italian in America: Pictures are free. To visit the garden, bring a bottle of wine.'
Negotiations ― The follow-up work for English-speaking audiences came with La Bella Figura: A Field Guide to the Italian Mind (originally La testa degli italiani). The book was released in 2006 in the United States and, the following year, in hit the shelves in the UK.
This time around, as the writer wrote it, the translator translated it. "The process generated problems of its own," Watson recalls. "When the publishers received the first draft, they decided a few changes needed to be made." Luckily he was using a Computer-Assisted Translation (CAT) tool, which came in handy to capture exactly what had been altered during multiple edits, thus streamlining the process.
With the first translated book, the contract followed a "take it or leave it" approach, with the scale slightly tilted to the side of the publishers. Watson then joined the Translators Association with The Society of Authors in London to be in a better position to negotiate future contracts. It was only with their third collaboration that the situation improved for the translator.
"I gave them [the publishers] two options: a higher fee per word, or a more reasonable fee plus royalties. They went for the higher fee," Watson explains. When asked what he thinks about royalty payments, the translator said that speculating about sales is for publishers. "It's not something with which a translator really ought to be involved. You do your job, they pay you, and you walk away. I earn my living by translating and like to be able to plan my income as much as possible."
The translator noted that publishers are resistant to paying royalties on translations. A book can also take months to be translated, so currency fluctuations can have a serious impact on payments. "If possible, make sure the contract is denominated in your currency," Watson advises. "If not, arrange for payment in installments. Otherwise you may find yourself losing or gaining significant amounts of money. I have already done both."
Watson had yet another suggestion for his colleagues attending the presentation: "Pay your contributions, pay your taxes, charge more." He went on to explain that in Italy, his country of residence, literary translations are treated as creative writing. Nevertheless, he chooses to invoice all his translations―technical or otherwise―as work for hire with value-added taxes, so as not to have part of his income challenged by tax authorities for being non-VAT and, consequently, contribution-exempt.
Controversy ― On their third and most recent collaboration,Mamma Mia! (originally La pancia degli italiani), there was more potential for controversy. The author says that, predictably, the book didn't sell well in Italy because of the main character: Italian Prime Minister and Media Mogul Silvio Berlusconi.
"But I wanted to have it translated everywhere. If La Bella Figurawas basic Italian, La pancia was a PhD in Italian life," he compared.
Severgnini confesses that it was hard to write about such a controversial character, who is the embodiment of the best (optimism) and the worst (unreliability) in Italians. "He is Chavez, Putin and Sinatra all together. A stereotype trigger."
Nevertheless, his goal was to shed some light on cultural differences between Italy and different parts of the world. "If I make someone laugh, it means I won."
Translation Dynamics ― The second part of the session was reserved for a more hands-on explanation of how the dynamics work between author and translator. According to them, the perks of collaborating together for several years include understanding how the author uses his native language.
A few slides showed side-by-side paragraphs from the books Watson and Severgnini worked on together, highlighting the word count and keystrokes of each version. Whenever the English translation ended up being longer than the original, Watson confessed to being self-indulgent.
Watson also explained that literary translators have to find a balance between the knowledge of grammar structures and how to take a more conversational approach. This is especially true when translating the work of authors such as Severgnini, whose use of language gets close to screenwriting and chronicles of daily life events.
"If you're on the same wavelength as the writer, your first draft is already good," Watson explained. "The second and third drafts are for you to shorten it and hear the language in your head. The words have to come easily. You can't just sit there and wait."
"That's British understatement. You're in America, you can boast!" Severgnini jokes. "He is really fast and we're used to each other. It is like two cars that leave together from the same starting point, take different paths, but arrive at the same place," the author said, complimenting the translator once again.

The bombing of a beach hotel at Mombasa and the closure of the British commission in Nairobi this week has failed to deter British visitors from flying to Kenya.
Travel companies reported few cancellations this week either for beach holidays or for up-country safaris. And bookings to south-east Asia after the Bali bombing and a Foreign Office warning of a threat to Britons in Phuket were said to be slow but steady.
Jake Grieves-Cook, managing director of Gamewatchers Safaris, and chairman of the Kenya Tourism Federation, visited Mombasa this week. "There were lots of overseas tourists continuing their holidays on the beaches and in the hotels," he said. "The mood was that the loss of innocent lives was appalling but people did not feel threatened in Kenya or anxious about their personal safety."
Francis Torrilla, product director of Kuoni, Britain's largest long-haul travel company, said: "We have had lots of calls, and four clients deferred their holidays until the new year, but people are still travelling to Kenya."
Ash Sofat, chief executive of Somak, said that just 18 of the 9,000 passengers booked to Kenya over the next year have cancelled or deferred trips since the bombing. "We have had an encouraging number of calls this week. Our first call on the morning of the bombing was for a safari in Kenya with a beach extension to Mombasa.
"I am obviously concerned but I am optimistic. Historically, Kenya has always bounced back. Bookings were back to normal within four months of September 11, and the 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania had no effect on European travel. The facts around the Mombasa bombing suggest it was targeted towards Israeli interests."
The run-up to Christmas is traditionally a quiet period for holiday bookings, but Torrilla described it this week as "no quieter than usual". He said: "January and February will be the telling time for bookings. There has been no sign of a shift away from south-east Asia. We had one cancellation after the warning about Phuket but people are still travelling to Thailand."
Simon Tobin, managing director of Explore Worldwide, said: "We are not seeing any lapse in demand for Kenya or south-east Asia. Adventure travellers are resilient people and won't be put off travelling. We are 40% ahead of last year."
The gloomiest note was struck by Tony Champion, managing director of Magic of the Orient, which specialises in travel to Asia. "There is a general nervousness about travelling which has been reinforced by the Kenyan bombing. The impact of Bali has been more significant to us than September 11. People are still travelling and the crucial test will be January. My feeling is that they will continue travelling to south-east Asia."
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office is still advising against all travel to Bali and Indonesia, and travel companies recommend not travelling there. Operators are allowing passengers to cancel bookings up to the end of the year but this will be reviewed next week and FCO advice remains the guiding factor.
The FCO also continues to warn of "an increased threat" to British nationals in popular tourist areas of Thailand, and the island of Phuket in particular. "Vigilance" is advised, it says, in Kenya because of "an increased terrorist threat".

Blackberry and Pistachios Cake Squares
Are you ready to serve up a delicious dessert recipe that is both unexpected and exciting? The combination of blackberries and pistachios in this cake recipe is an amazing meld of flavors that you'll want to make again.
Whenever we make a cake squares, we like to make sure we're lining our favorite cake pan with parchment paper or baking pan liner. These make removing the cake from the pan super easy, and then we are able to cut the cake into the perfect cake squares.
We also love to keep a lot of cloth napkins around the house–both for photographing our recipes and for serving alongside snacks. We've also started using them as place mats for a large serving tray that we use frequently.
And for those of you interested in taking food photos, we use a Canon EOS T6i and think it works perfectly for our needs.
We also just got a refurbished Canon for our daughter for Christmas, since she wants to be a photographer. Probably not a food photographer, but you can bet that we'll be asking her to help out from time to time. What a great way to get some experience!
If you're looking for other sweet treats like these, you might like this Blueberry Funfetti Skillet Cake, Cheesecake Pudding, or our Cool Strawberry Whipped Dessert.
We're talking about desserts that are easy to make and even easier to eat. Aren't those the best kind?
You'll love how easy these cake squares are to whip up. You'll also love how well received they are by everyone who tastes them. If you're looking for a winning dessert to add to your recipe box, this one definitely should make the cut.
Go preheat the oven and get ready to bake. Yum!Print

The Junior Cycle curriculum in Drogheda Grammar School is delivered in Forms 1, 2, and 3 leading to a public examination for the Junior Certificate awarded by the State Examination Commission.
All pupils attend classes in the following subjects:
English; Irish; Mathematics; History; Geography; General Science; Civic, Social, and Political Education (CSPE); Social, Personal, and Health Education (SPHE); IT/Computer Studies and Physical Education.
The first 7 of the above subjects will be presented by all pupils in the Junior Certificate examinations at the end of Form 3.
Three further examination subjects are chosen from the list below and studied until the end of Form 3.
Art, Craft, and Design
Business Studies
Home Economics
Technical Graphics
We are currently in the process of reviewing the range of subjects and expect to add more choice to this list in the near future.
One of the unique elements of how we provide the Junior Cycle curriculum is how we offer the opportunity to study all of the option subject above in the first term. This allows our students to make informed educational decisions on which options they would like to choose. They experience each subject for approximately 3 weeks and then at the end of October choose the subjects they wish to study for the remainder of the Junior Cycle.


text: Posted July 5, 2012 (edited) Hi everybody, I know there's already a review of this set, however I made a short photo review of this set for an Italian forum and I'd like to share it also here because it's my first review... and I was inspired by the reviews that I often read on Eurobricks I got the set from the German site Spieletom, for € 2.99 plus shipping. The set is packed in a little polybag, made of the same material of the bags that contain pieces in sets, but printed with the set picture. Please note the symbol that indicates the presence of a "glow-in-the-dark" element. The polybag contains the pieces and the tiny instruction paper. First page of the instructions paper. Again, the symbol indicates that the ghost cloak "glows in the dark". I couldn't resist assembling the ghost. Simple but nice: the head piece, completely black, gives the face its spectral look. The minifig has a brick 1x2 instead of the legs. The chain with the weight is attached under the brick. With low light, after having exposed it to the light for a little time, the ghost cloak glows: These are the pieces for the clock pendulum. You can notice some useful modified bricks and cheese slopes in reddish brown, the classical clock round 2x2 tile and the paddle used for the pendulum. The clock is elegant and realistic. Its only flaw is that the pendulum is motionless. I'm thinking of a solution to make it swing. And then some photos of the whole set... ...and a photo in the complete darkness. A simple effect obtained by adding the last two photos: Finally, this is a set with a good value for the money, especially if you compare it to the collectible minifig that, for 2-2.5€, give you only the minifig with some accessories. The pieces included are very common, but the ghost itself is worth the price. If you have, in your layout, an abandoned villa or castle, you've found a perfect tenant for it!

Hiring an exclusive plane will give you the joy of comfort and convenience that may be doubtful when traveling business airplane. You may also save time and a great amount of funds by staying away from connecting flights and by sharing expenses with other travelers when touring with teams. If you're unfamiliar with renting planes, the following are a pair of basic tips you can hire one for a more comfortable and convenient company or leisure trip:
Rent a private plane and provide the crew
You can travel on a private airplane by hiring one and giving your personal crew, including the pilot. You might be an authorized pilot yourself and can control the airplane or you will need to hire a pilot and also a crew, based on your preferences. If you are leasing a helicopter or a small plane, a pilot and a co-pilot will do, but if you are flying with a bigger group on a larger aircraft, you'll need a staff to attend to your needs. With this kind of plane rental, you need to pay for the gas, and for the taxes, insurance, and also other expenses.
To ensure safety, you have to choose an aircraft you are familiar with. When going to new places you have not been before, it is also better to get an airplane pilot who is familiar with the spot well.
Rent a private aircraft complete with the staff and also amenities you need
Because of the added convenience, luxury, and comfort, some companies and families as well want to hire a charted plane. By chartering an aircraft, you get the aircraft which fits your needs, which has the crew and services you need. With chartered flights, no moment is wasted. You could leave from your point of departure at any time and go back at any time you want, unlike on commercial flights. A charter flight corporation, for example, could accommodate you with a 6 AM flight for your 8 AM session in New York, without needing to leave your home at least 1 night before or before dawn to make your scheduled appointment.
To rent a charter plane, all you need to do is check out the Internet or your local directory to get a list of air charter businesses in or around your community. Then, you can compare prices and customer comments and book the plane of your choice from your desired charter flight firm. The details you'll need to prepare must include the date and time of travel, the number of passengers, the schedule, as well as the services and amenities you need.
Nowadays, many businesses and families travelling in groups on business and leisure trips prefer hiring a private plane because of its numerous benefits. Not only will you have the comfort, convenience, and luxury of flying on a rented aircraft but also the privacy that may be important for in-flight company meetings, as well as family chats.
