In a controversial 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court recently ruled that jailers may subject people that are arrested for any offense, including minor ones, to invasive strip searches, before the person is admitted to the jail, even if the jailer does not have any reason to suspect the person is carrying weapons or contraband.
In the case Albert Florence, a New Jersey man, was in the passenger seat of his wife's car when she was pulled over for speeding. As part of the traffic stop, Florence's name was run through the state's computerized records system to check for evidence of a criminal history. The search revealed that there was an outstanding warrant for Florence's arrest, due to his failure to pay a fine-information that turned out to be false, as the fine had been paid.
Based on this inaccurate information, the officer arrested Florence and he spent a week in two different jails, before officials dropped the charges. At each jail, Florence was required to undergo a strip search. Florence sued, claiming that the searches were unconstitutional unless police have probable cause to suspect that the prisoner is carrying drugs, weapons or contraband.
The Supreme Court, in an opinion written by Justice Anthony Kennedy, disagreed with Florence's assertion, saying that the courts are not in a position to second-guess correctional officers. The court ruled that correctional officers have a legitimate interest in maintaining order and safety in the nation's jails, and in doing so, have the right to search prisoners for smuggled weapons, drugs and evidence of gang affiliations or diseases.
The court did not say that strip searches were required for every new arrestee, but said that the Constitution did not prohibit them.
Effect of the Ruling
The ruling gives jailers and correctional officers carte blanche to strip search any person who is arrested for any offense, no matter how minor. In addition, jailers do not have to suspect an arrestee is carrying contraband or poses a danger to other prisoners in order to require a strip search.
If you are arrested for any offense or believe that you are under investigation for criminal activity, contact an experienced criminal defense attorney. An attorney can advise you of your rights and prepare an effective defense to achieve the most favorable outcome.

A pile-up involving a number of transport trucks and a delivery truck on
the D1 highway on Friday saw traffic blocked for 3.5 hours on the 178th
kilometre near Brno.
Three people were injured in the accident.
Police on site redirected traffic to the closest exit. The blockage led to a six-kilometre-long traffic jam.
The year 2017 turned out to be a positive year with no drownings registered
at river sluices in the country. Years prior, accidents led to an average
of nine deaths a year. In 2010, the number was 16.
According to statistics compiled by Vodácké školy záchrany there are around 150 sluices in the country which are dangerous.
Canoeing, kayaking and rafting have a strong tradition in the Czech Republic but flipping in a canoe going down a sluice can easily end in tragedy, organizers warned. Some sluices can be very difficult to escape from, once in the water.
President Miloš Zeman will receive the prime minister in resignation
Andrej Babiš on Sunday to be updated on the state of coalition government
negotiations. Mr Babiš, tasked with a second attempt at forming a viable
government, so far has not been successful in reaching an agreement with
possible coalition partners.
The head of state previously urged the prime minister to negotiate with the Communists and the anti-Islam and anti-migrant Freedom and Direct Democracy. Following talks on Thursday, however, ANO did an about-face with the intention of reopening talks with the Social Democrats. Last week negotiations with the Social Democrats over a possible minority government fell apart over demands for certain portfolios.
The head of the Social Democrats, Jan Hamáček, has also asked to meet with the head of state.
A meeting between ANO and the Social Democrats renewing the possibility of
cooperation in a future minority government has been scheduled for Monday
evening, following a working trip to Karlovy Vary by the prime minister.
Prime Minister in resignation Andrej Babiš confirmed the news, adding he
hoped that a solution would be found quickly.
Last week, talks between party representatives collapsed after ANO refused
to give up either the Finance Ministry or Interior Ministry portfolio.
The Social Democrats had sought the Interior Ministry, it was reported, as a counterbalance to Mr Babiš remaining prime minister, as he faces charges for alleged EU subsidy fraud.
The prime minister did not say on Friday whether the Interior Ministry portfolio would be offered.
Horní police, a town of 700 in the district of Česka Lípa, has made a
Pornhub list of towns offered premium access to its site because of its
suggestive place name. The site offered residents a million hours of free
pornography in what is being viewed as a savvy but also provocative
marketing move.
The story was reported by the Czech news site iDnes reported Friday.
The town apparently qualified because the name can be read as "horny police" in English.
In Czech it literally means top or upper shelf.
The site, tongue-in-cheek, has listed numerous towns and municipalities around the world as worthy of "compensation for embarrassing place names", including Horneytown, North Carolina, and Threeway, Virginia, in the United States.
The ski season continues this weekend at a number of ski hills in the Czech
Republic including Harrachov and Špindlerův Mlýn. Despite the warm
weather, resorts such as Špindlerův Mlýn still have some 40 centimetres
of snow, the Czech News Agency reported.
Some 4.7 kilometres of trails remain open at Špindlerův Mlýn on Saturday and Sunday but the resort will wrap up the season after this weekend.
This year's ski season was one of the most successful in years, according to operators.
Arsenal's Czech goalkeeper Petr Čech helped his team secure a last four
place in the Europa League on Thursday night against CSKA Moscow.
Arsenal took a comfortable 4:1 first leg lead into the second leg away tie. But the Gunners were given a shock after conceding two goals on either side of the half time break.
Late goals by Welbeck and Ramsey calmed their nerves ahead of the eventual 2:2 draw.
The leadership of the ANO party have decided to try and renew negotiations
over a government with the Social Democrats.
Members of the party's leadership said late Thursday they wanted fresh talks and that ANO leader and prime minister Andrej Babiš would quickly get in contact with his counterpart Jan Hamáček.
Talks between the two sides collapsed a week earlier over the Cabinet seats wanted by the Social Democrats to curb possible conflicts of interest by billionaire businessman Babiš. The Social Democrats targeted top posts in the ministries of finance and interior saying that these could help them keep check on Babiš if he remained prime minister.
Babiiš said after meeting head of state Miloš Zeman this week that he would approach the anti-EU, anti-Islamic, Freedom and Direct Democracy Party of Tomio Okamura to create a government.
Leader of the Freedom and Direct Democracy Party (SPD) Tomio Okamura met
with Czech head of state Miloš Zeman on Thursday.
According to Okamura, they agreed that a government based on the ANO party supported by the communists and SPD should be sealed at the latest by June.
Okamura, whose party has a pronounced anti-immigrant, anti-Islam, and anti-EU stance, said most of the policy details had already been agreed with ANO, led by Andrej Babiš.
He said that a referendum result on international treaties, such as those attaching the Czech Republic to the EU and NATO, might have to be agreed by the Czech parliament. The format of possible referenda is one of the main dividing lines between ANO and the SPD.

What is Ladies Suburban tennis?
The Suburban Tennis League is a women's social travel league serving the Detroit metropolitan area. The league runs yearly, from September through May. Matches are on Fridays with three-courts of doubles. Two-hour timed matches; one hour each, against two different doubles teams. The host club serves lunch for all of the players following each match.
Wessen Indoor has three Ladies Suburban teams – a combined level 6.0, 7.0 and 7.5. Players are rostered on teams that reflect their current USTA ranking. Doubles teams must not exceed the specified combined level. It is possible to be on the roster for more than one team! – this gives additional opportunities to play and helps to fill gaps in the match roster when players are unavailable.
The Suburban Tennis League requires membership in the host club.
- An individual membership at Wessen Indoor Tennis is $150/year.
2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 level women are welcome to join our Suburban League.

- Unrated USTA players are evaluated by coaches and put on the team rosters that reflect their level of play.
Team practice is on Wednesday, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ($30)
- We send out a weekly invitation to get a player count for the practice. Players simply click a link on the email "YES" or "NO."
- Practice will begin the second week in September
- Ladies are welcome to stay after practice for complimentary pick-up doubles.
Monday morning there is an optional organized doubles strategy clinic with Coach Tom, 9:00-10:30 am – Tom's Tactics ($20)
- Just like Wednesday practice, we send out a weekly invitation for Tom's Tactics to get a head count.
- Tom's Tactics will begin the second week in September.
Matches are on Fridays and include lunch ($23 per player.)
- The League has raised the match fee $1 (prior years it was $22)
- The coaches (Tom & Brian) put together the player rosters for the matches.
- Players are asked for their availability to help make the schedule in advance.
- Matches are scheduled on a weekly basis – trying to look at least two weeks in advance.

René Lalique was a genius of art nouveau jewelry. His creations reflected sinuous naturalistic forms of plants, insects, and beautiful women with long, flowing hair. I saw an exhibit of his work in Paris a few years ago that was simply stunning. He also loved working in glass and often incorporated iridescent accents into the jewelry. Lalique designed jewelry for all the greatest names of his day – including actress Sarah Bernhardt and the wife of Woodrow Wilson – and perfume bottles for the most notable fragrance houses.
After mastering jewelry, Lalique switched to industrial design, including such diverse elements as elevator doors and the dining-room of the Normandie ocean liner. Today's saying, "Il ne faut pas mettre tous ses œufs dans le même panier" (eel ne foe pa mehtruh too says euh don le mem pa-knee-eh) means exactly the same in French or in English, "Don't put all your eggs in one basket." The multi-talented Lalique would certainly espouse this point of view.
2011 is the 150th anniversary of Lalique's birth and to mark the occasion, the firm is re-issuing some of his most stunning pieces. This spring, a new museum will open in Wingen-sur-Moder in Alsace, France, next to the factory where his glass is still produced. Three notable collections have been united under one roof. Yet another great excuse to visit France this year.

The expansion of your understanding of football will be accomplished with the help of this article. There is always room for improvement. That's why it's time to read this so that you can play better in future games.
The cleats you use will depend on your ability. New players ought to get plastic or synthetic cleats. Shoes with metal cleats that screw in are the best for advanced players.
Avoid colliding with another player, if possible. Try to anticipate your opponent's movements to avoid contact. That helps you keep the ball and lessens your chances of getting hurt as well.
Learn how to perform the Outside Elastico. It is great for when you are positioned on the flanks and need to cut inside. Grab a bag, shoe or cone and practice by putting it down on the ground. Get away from the cone about five steps away. Start to dribble towards it. As you get closer to the cone you should make a touch that's small on the outside and then back into the inside. Making outside touches tricks your opponents, allowing you to get by them. Remember that your inside touch should be greater than your outside touch.
Move the ball to the same part of the field several times in a row. The defense will notice the pattern and wait for it. Then, you can take them by surprise and glean some extra seconds when you either don't cross or cross going the other way.
To increase your success with penalty kicks, practice these types of kicks after you've had a good team practice. That way, your mind will be trained to really focus when the time comes to make a penalty kick. Repeat your kicks over and over until you can make every shot.
Physical fitness is vital to being the best player you can. You'll have a harder time if you let yourself become overweight. Maintain good health by controlling what you eat and drink.
Even though setting personal footy goals for yourself is important, do not neglect the team's goals. Football needs an entire team of effective players, so that's why it's important for everyone to keep the team goals in mind.
Get some practice time in with players that are more experienced than you. This will allow your abilities to become better honed so your skills can improve. Don't hesitate to ask these players any questions you have so that you can learn from them. The majority will be more than happy to assist you because they understand what it takes to work as a team. If you don't know any skilled football players, attend local games and choose a few players to talk to after the game to ask for help.
It's all about learning who you are as a football player and improving that person on and off the field. Football is a sport where you have to be a team player. Understanding that you are not playing for yourself alone, apply the advice in this piece to become a true team player.

Grilled Mussels "Scampi"
Scampi, a garlicky dish typically made with shrimp, is also a fast and flavorful way to cook up mussels.
Scampi, a garlicky dish typically made with shrimp, is also a fast and flavorful way to cook up mussels.
Leeks, white beans, cremini mushrooms, parsnips, garlic and carrots combine into one creamy bowl of goodness.
Let this spiced chicken curry warm you up from the inside out. This recipe is packed with veggies and has a silky coconut milk base for a dish that is both indulgent and healthy.
Homemade meatballs that use coconut flour as a binder get simmered in a hearty tomato sauce and served on a bed of cauliflower rice.
Many stir-fry sauces contain soy sauce and sugar, both of which are off the menu on the Whole30 plan. This healthy remake uses coconut aminos, sesame oil and ginger for maximum flavor while sticking to compliant ingredients.
These mushroom-and-quinoa-stuffed mini pumpkins contain all of the flavors of fall. With savory herbs and a hint of tart-sweetness from dried cranberries, these adorable little stuffed pumpkins will be the hit of your next fall gathering!
This super-simple curry gets volumes of flavor – and an anti-inflammatory punch – from a DIY curry blend that starts with turmeric.
This chile-spiced veggie stir-fry makes a quick and healthy dinner. The addition of the superfood MCT oil turns this into keto-friendly, brain-boosting meal.
Bone-in chicken is simmered with fragrant spices, tomatoes and chipotle chiles for a deeply flavorful taco filling. Both the filling and the salsa hold up well in the refrigerator and make great leftovers for lunch the next day.
A sheet pan is one of the best tools for an easy weeknight dinner. Pile your ingredients onto it, toss it in the oven, and in under 45 minutes you will have a healthy and delicious meal.
Our peri peri-roasted chicken employs Portuguese cooking techniques but uses African ingredients. You'll love the tangy, spicy sauce served alongside sweet potatoes and kale.
Artichokes take a bit of prep work, but their smooth texture and delicate flavor make them well worth the effort. Need more convincing? These edible relatives of the thistle are rich in antioxidants. To reap maximum benefit, be sure to eat the tender parts of the leaves as well as the heart.
Have your filling prepped and ready in your freezer to pull out on taco night. When you're ready to eat, simply pop it into your Instant Pot while you prepare your toppings.
Three cheeses — smoked cheddar, sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheese — commingle in this make-ahead mac and cheese. Sprinkle with green onions if you have some on hand.
Try Jesse Lane Lee's famous Bruschetta Chicken recipe — it contains all the same enticing flavors as regular bruschetta, but she's swapped out the refined white bread for protein-rich chicken to help keep blood sugar stable for sustained energy.
Honey and soy-marinated boneless short ribs are topped with tart pickled carrots. Both the beef marinade and the carrots are made at home, so you simply grill the ribs and assemble the wraps when you're ready to eat.
In this warm-weather twist on a Greek salad, both the chicken and the romaine lettuce get a turn on the grill to infuse the dish with a warm, smoky flavor.
Packed with crunchy veggies, this raw, veg-based version of pad Thai is hydrating on a hot summer day. The blender almond sauce contains healthy fats and is the perfect sweet-salty palate pleaser.
These meaty mushrooms are filled with a quick DIY pesto, garden veggies and goat cheese for a healthy meal with a Mediterranean vibe.
By removing the backbone, you get a juicy, whole chicken cooked in less time. The process takes only minutes but can be intimidating for first-timers; however, you can always ask your butcher to do it for you. Serve with additional lime wedges around the platter.
A meal version of the popular dip, this salad is packed with tasty layers such as crisp lettuce, olives, cheese and avocado. Canned black beans add a source of protein without having to cook – for a twist, try mixing them with corn kernels for extra sweetness. You can use corn from the cob or frozen and thawed corn.
Our twist on this classic bread and tomato salad, uses pita bread and roasted red peppers for a fresh and easy weeknight meal.
Beets give these patties their earthy flavor while freshly cooked black beans and quinoa add a meaty texture.
Prep your chicken, pesto and grilled veggies on Sunday, so making this fresh and colorful goat cheese pizza takes no time to assemble on a busy weeknight.

Wolfram Auer, Deputy Director International Business Development Doppelmayr Seilbahnen GmbH, Stephan Pfeiffer, head of Strategic Partnerships & Public Affairs, ioki (Deutsche Bahn), and Christoph Weigler, director general of Uber Germany, will discuss the major changes taking place in transportation with a view to concepts such as driverless vehicles, ride-sharing business models, mobility platforms, electric powertrains, minibuses, bikes for hire, cable cars and other modes of transport. They will also highlight measures for promoting tourist attractions which cities and rural areas could implement now in order to meet the challenges of the future.
'Future Ground Mobility' will be the focus of the ITB Ministers' Roundtable as well. Tourism ministers from leading travel destinations, such as Egypt, Costa Rica, Greece, Kenya, Namibia or Sambia will talk about the major transport problems increasingly affecting countries and ways to improve the travel experience.
Shift in customer demands in the luxury travel market
A paradigm shift is taking place in the tourism industry. Customers in the luxury market are now less interested in material wealth and more in non-material values. Nowadays, space, time, seclusion and self-expression are important to them, as well as experience instead of adventure. Today's luxury market customers are looking for meaning and sense. On 7 March 2019 on Marketing & Distribution Day at the ITB New Luxury Panel, together with Prof. Dr. Monika Imschloß, an expert on sensory marketing, Universität zu Köln, and the starred chef David Kikillus, Marc Aeberhard, the proprietor of Luxury Hotel & Spa Management Ltd., will discuss how changing customer demands are influencing hotel and tourism services and the shape that luxury products will take in the future.
Afterwards, the internationally renowned travel correspondent Doug Lansky will reveal an insider's view of global concierge and butler services. In his introductory speech on the 'Personality profiles of luxury customers' he will reveal the travel needs of high-end luxury customers, the experiences they ultimately desire, and how to communicate with them.
On 7 March 2019 the ITB Hospitality Tech Forum will also be discussing the shift in customer demands. In his lecture entitled 'Beyond Unconventional: Keeping up with the Tent Next Door', Adam Harris, CEO of Cloudbeds, will talk about how the market is changing. More and more tourists will be attracted to unusual forms of accommodation rather than luxury hotels.
Rediscovering the art of travel is the subject of a speech that Ilija Trojanow
will hold. On 8 March 2019, day two of the ITB Destination Days, the renowned writer, bestselling author and ITB Book Award winner 2019 will hold a keynote on 'How to travel. A user's guide', and offer answers to these questions: "What do we look for when we travel to other countries?", "How many new things do we want to discover?", and "How much are we willing to change?"
Results of the exclusive Overtourism Report by Travelzoo and ITB Berlin
As in every year the results of the market survey carried out by Travelzoo and ITB Berlin will be presented at the World's Leading Travel Trade Show. The international portal for exclusive travel deals was commissioned by ITB Berlin to examine perceptions of overtourism, a topic which to date has received little attention. The report looked at which tourist groups and nationalities thought overcrowded destinations gave a particularly negative impression, what they would do to avoid the problem, and what action they expected travel operators and destinations to take. The global survey provides in-depth information and is an important decision-making tool for industry managers in order to confront one of the biggest challenges facing the international tourism industry, now and in the future. Sharry Sun, Global Head of Brand, Travelzoo, will present the exclusive report at the Deep Dive Session 1 at the City Cube Club on 6 March 2019 at 1 p.m.
On Thursday 7 March, on the eve of International Women's Day, an ITB Berlin Convention seminar on gender equality in tourism will take place at the Palais am Funkturm at 1 p.m., which will also present the second Global Report on Women in Tourism by UNWTO. This will be followed by the presentation of the Celebrating Her Awards by the International Institute for Peace in Tourism, which honours outstanding achievements by women. International Women's Day is not the only occasion on which prominent women will be having their say at ITB Berlin. On 7 March at the ITB Tourism for Sustainable Development Day, Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter, a member of the German Bundestag and Parliamentary Under-Secretary at the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Reactor Safety, will talk about 'German Outbound Travel has Impact! What Responsibilities is the German Government bearing?' On 8 March, which is CSR Day, at a discussion round under the heading 'A tidal wave of plastic – Ocean pollution and the UN Sustainable Development Goals', three women will host the debate: Dr. Frauke Fischer, founder of Agentur auf! and an author, consultant and technical expert on sustainability; Dr. Monika Griefahn, senior sustainability advisor, Costa Group, a founding member of Greenpeace and former minister; and Joanne Hendricks, formerly global sustainable destinations manager, Thomas Cook Group and founder of Travel Without Plastic.
New: ITB Berlin Convention at the CityCube
In future, the ITB Berlin Convention will take place at the CityCube, the multi-purpose congress and trade fair venue. That means more room for events, improved access and better transport links. Visitors to the CityCube will be directly next door to the fair halls and only a short distance from light rail public transport (S-Bahn) at Messe Süd.
For trade visitors and exhibitors at the World's Largest Travel Trade Show admission to the ITB Berlin Convention is included in a ticket to ITB.

Nuytinck's MRI scan result showed potential left knee damage. With this reason, he cannot go on with the championship tournament. He will return to the Netherlands for more examinations and to seek medical management at his club.
Coach Cor Pot said: "This is a real setback. It was already difficult for me with the [reserve] role I had, and to go home earlier makes it even harder. On the other hand I do not want to take any risks regarding preparations for next season with Anderlecht.
The 23-year-old RSC Anderlecht captain said that he will return to his club to undergo further tests. He hopes the best for his teammates in their next match against Italy. He is confident his team members will reach the finals.

Printing giant hints at major launches
Lexmark is hinting at some surprises for Gitex attendees this year. However, the print solutions company says the 100,000 plus visitors expected through the doors will have to "wait and see" as to just what specific products will be on its stand at the show.
Lexmark is hinting at some surprises for Gitex attendees this year. However, the print solutions company says the 100,000 plus visitors expected through the doors will have to "wait and see" as to just what specific products will be on its stand at the show.
"We plan on displaying a wide range of our products at the show," says Hilal Rashid, marketing communications manager for Lexmark in the Middle East.
"The diversity in our product offering is hard to match and people visiting the Lexmark stand at Gitex will see exactly what we mean. As for the specific products that are to be displayed on the stand, we prefer to have people wait and see," he adds. "We might have some pleasant surprises to show our visitors."
What will definitely be on display will be complete solutions that help customers with their printing needs, reflecting Lexmark's scope as more than just a hardware vendor. "Our software and services are unmatched in the industry as we move away from the traditional printing focus into new, innovative fields within output management," says Rashid.
As part of it solutions portfolio, Lexmark consultants can work with a customer to help reduce their information distribution costs.
"By understanding the customer's print, copy, fax and scanning requirements and costs, Lexmark can help customers define a new asset mix and implementation strategy to help them achieve significant cost savings through asset consolidation and better management of specific business processes," says Rashid.
To provide customers with a complete solution Lexmark offers software as well as hardware, with its flagship software package, MarkVision, a printing device management utility, and its Lexmark Document Solutions Suite and OptraForms, a document formatting system, being one of a number of products it has developed to give added value to customers.
Which is not to say that Lexmark has neglected the hardware side, with Rashid being proud to point out that the vendor is one of the few companies to still focus on the three core print technologies: inkjet, laser and dot-matrix.
"Naturally, each technology appeals to a different audience," says Rashid.
"The home users are usually more interested in the inkjets due to the increasingly growing photo printing trend. The lasers, however, appeal more to organisations with larger printing requirements. Laser printers are excellent for "per-page" cost savings and larger scale printing needs. The 2004 product line continues Lexmark's tradition of exceeding the demands of the most discerning consumers with robust products for professionals, photo printing technology for creative consumers and everybody in between," he explains.

Last year I flew to England and attended Chautauqua: UK 2017. I was so inspired while I was there that, among other things, I started this blog. It was very early in my current relationship so my girlfriend didn't attend with me. While I was there I couldn't stop thinking about how valuable it could have been to our relationship if we had attended together. One of the number one causes of disagreements in relationships is money. Because of that, it's important to have an open dialog about money as early as possible. But when do you start talking about net worth, credit card debt, and investment strategy? First date, sixth date, engagement…? I figured that attending Chautauqua together could not only facilitate our communication but we could talk openly with other couples about how they handle money. My mission was clear. We needed to attend Chautauqua as a couple. After…Read More
Fear rushed down my body like an avalanche of battery acid. I froze and my heart went berserk. I spotted another person through the window on the treadmill. I scampered back to my apartment and the comfort of my chair and TV. Crisis averted. I was safe. I would rather die fat and wheezing than let somebody see my lazy body fumbling around the gym. But wait, I'm in control of my life and I make the decisions around here. Why do I give an f what some bro on a treadmill thinks about me? Because I didn't want to feel stupid, that's why. Personal Development I've always been interested in personal development. It first started when a friend of mine recommended Stephen Covey's Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Since then through countless books and blogs I noticed that all my heroes had similar habits. 1.) Journaling and 2.) Taking care…Read More
Nobody cares about you. They don't want you to succeed because you're not worth it. You have nothing to offer them because you are not unique in any way, shape, or form. All your positive qualities and skills add up to zilch in their eyes. Unless you are a tool they can use to better themselves everything you say or do is going to go in one ear and out the other because It's just meaningless babble and you are wasting their time which is more valuable than yours. Don't even think about asking for help then you're just nagging and nobody likes a whiner. Keep that stuff to yourself. Brutal. Let me explain. People are self centered. I am, you are, and everybody around you is. There are very few of us that have the ability to care about others as much as we care about ourselves. Yes, I…Read More

We laughed, we cried, The Mad Fientist spilled beer on himself, and we took everything way too seriously (not really).

As a child when my mom gave me instructions, I would always obey. Mom: Brandon, go get the shirts off the clothes line. Me: Okay. Me: *returning to the house with a load of clothes in my arms* Mom: Where are the rest of the clothes?! Me: You only told me to get the shirts! I was a frustrating child. My mom didn't appreciate my attention to detail in her instructions but I see now that it was going to be a pattern for me. Doing the bare minimum I think I can while still getting what I want. You know who else is lazy? Mother Nature. Take lightning for example. It takes the path of least resistance to get to the closest negatively charged object. It's not as simple as that though. It actually takes all paths available until it realizes that it's not on the most efficient path.…Read More
"This game cheats for people who are good at it!" my sister screamed as she threw her controller at my face. I ducked quickly, narrowly avoiding disaster as it smashed against the wall, denting the plaster. She was only thinking one thing, "Why is the world out to get me?!" as she got up off the floor and stomped out of the bedroom. Her reaction didn't surprise me. We played video games at my dad's every other weekend and no matter how hard she tilted her head to the left and right or lifted the controller up quickly she couldn't defeat the evil mushrooms, turtles, and other creatures on the screen. Beating her was easy for me. I always rescued the Princess from the castle. In my sister's mind she was a victim of Nintendo. They were out to get her. They didn't want her to win.

Look at that cool punk drummer! Ahh… the dream of every young angsty musician, to make a living playing music.

I travelled the continental United States with Annie's Apology for about 2 years, 2000-2002. Living in a Volkswagen Jetta, performing at coffee shops, festivals, youth centers, and even homeless shelters. Sometimes we slept in the car, or not at all, or if I got lucky I would get to share a single bed with one of my band mates (something that happened on more than one occasion). When I first joined Annie's Apology it was all about the music. I envisioned being on stage lauded by screaming fans, in the studio making history, or hanging with other musicians and music lovers just living the good life. I…Read More
If you follow this blog you know I was recently in England where I experienced a ton of personal growth at Chautauqua UK. While there we rented a car for a road trip to Stonehenge and Bath.

Chautauqua UK is a magical place where people at all stages of the journey to financial independence meet to discuss ideas, validate numbers, play football in the pool, and fly drones (check out the video below). I just spent the last 2 weeks in bloody England. I started out at the first ever Chautauqua UK hosted at the beautiful Ettington Park hotel near Stratford Upon Avon (birthplace of Shakespeare) and the second week exploring London with my girlfriend and another couple. During Chautauqua I felt empowered like I could do anything I wanted as long as I put in the time. I was burning to get back to my day to day life and apply all the inspiration from my experiences. There were so many ideas running through my head. Maybe I would start Spanish tutoring on the side, get my savings rate up to 50%, live more intentionally, or…Read More

Intro to Environmental Studies heads outside in Spring 2018
If busting out of the classroom to learn about landscapes and management practices around Albuquerque sounds like the best way to spend eight weeks this spring, hustle up and register for Geography 195.
Introduction to Environmental Studies is a required class for Geography majors, but it will have a radically different format this year, says Department Chair Maria Lane. That's thanks to a grant Melinda Harm Benson secured for the class prior to leaving UNM earlier this year to become dean of the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming. That grant allows the class to be focused on field study, rather than just classroom lectures.
In Spring 2018, Benjamin Warner will be teaching the course. Warner came to UNM this fall after completing a postdoctoral scholar appointment at the University of Massachusetts in the Department of Geosciences.
|Master's student Laurel Ladwig
While visiting sites like the Rio Grande Nature Center State Park, the Sandia Mountains, and the Valle de Oro National Wildlife Refuge, Warner says that students will have the chance to explore why environmental issues are often so political—and how to solve that problem, starting on a local scale.
"We'll be exploring questions like, 'Why is our relationship with nature often contentious?'" Warner says. At each of the sites, students will try to understand the unique worldviews and values that different stakeholders bring, and how people view problems and issues from a particular place. At each site, students will also explore, says Warner, "how these sites can solve multiple problems with multiple solutions—all in this one place."
Although the class will appeal to students of all levels and disciplines, Warner says that first and foremost, it's a class for undergraduates who are new to geography and environmental studies.
|Associate Professor Ben Warner
Oftentimes introductory classes provide broad overviews—let's just admit this—so it's hard for students to feel inspired or passionate about the topic. Starting this spring, Geography 195 will change that for geography majors.
"We wanted to create a class to get people excited about geography and environmental studies as freshmen—instead of having them discover it as a senior like I did," says Laurel Ladwig. Now a graduate student in the department, Ladwig helped Benson design the course as part of an independent study project last year.
"We live in a biotic community and we have so many different habitats in Albuquerque," says Ladwig. "Let's get people out and explore the land around us, and learn about the different ways of interacting with lands, and managing lands."
The class is a second-half spring course that will be held on Thursdays from 1-6 p.m. Students do not have to pay additional fees for the course, and transportation from UNM to the sites will be provided.

It's bogus dudes
Is the Libor manipulation a sign of something rotten in the UK system or is it just a symptom of a greater corporatism rotting our economies?
When exactly did traders start speaking like Bill and Ted? The dudes on the Barclays desks had a most excellent adventure with the manipulation of the Libor rate before whistle blowers noticed and Bob Diamond began his bogus journey.
As readers are now no doubt aware, the Libor and Euribor rates are set to determine what the inter-banking lending rate is. It takes a range of figures from the banks, discounting the top and bottom rates to give the average rate.
The investigation into this has been going on for a couple of years now and despite the 'shock horror' headlines, most finance journalist have been waiting to see who was going to go up to the beak first.
For Barclays, it appears that it was a combination of naked greed – its traders placing bad derivative positions against the Libor and so needed a better rate to profit – and desperation.
During the financial crisis there was a serious concern that the markets, suspicious about its strength in depth, would go for Barclays, as a result managers needed to show that Barclays was in a strong position with low borrowing rates – like sovereign yields, a low interest rate represents low risk for the lender, and so showing confidence in a bank.
It may have been wrong, it may even be fraud - although bizarrely the legal niceties of that are still being worked out on that one, no matter what people may think - but in its own way, at least greed and fear are understandable traits.
What I am having difficulty understanding are some of the responses to this.
Firstly this is not just a UK issue. Barclays is not the only bank involved, nor is it solely the top four UK banks. Although the Libor rate is set by the British Bankers Association, the figures are collated from a selection of global banks.
In relation to the global investigation into the manipulation of the inter-banking rates there is quite a collection of banks already out there that are alleged to have conducted similar rate actions.
The Swiss regulator named 12 banks in its investigation: UBS, Credit Suisse, Bank of Tokyo- Mitsubishi UFJ, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Mizuho Financial Group, Rabobank International, RBS, Societe Generale and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking, while, WestLB, Citigroup, Bank of America and Norinchukin Bank were among banks named in a law suit brought last year in New York by a hedge fund.
If Libor had been regulated, would there have been proper supervision of it? Here, in the US, anywhere? Experience of what Labour, Conservative, Democrat or Republican attitudes – let alone national regulators – were before and during the financial crisis says it would have been highly unlikely.
As I have said before, regulation should be an enabler as well as a supervisor and if there is regulation, make sure it is good regulation. There are so many regulations coming through at the moment that one stock exchange told me this week that it would be nice to start to think about just trading again rather than compliance.
Oh, and speaking about trading. Despite the obvious glee at the City's discomfort over this, it has developed a unique sense of self-preservation, so for those suggesting this is it for the City, don't bet against it just yet.
Yes, there are serious questions over internal controls and external behaviour but the sheer global nature of the potential participants may assist the City in maintaining its number one position, which, despite its problems, is still of strategic economic importance to the UK no matter what our European neighbours may try to impose on us.
Finally, do you know what the most depressing this about this is? What we saw with the banks is what we see with governments all over the western world. Whether it is bond yields, purchases or printing money, there is a gross manipulation of the marketplace. Instead of allowing capitalism to work, getting rid of the chaff, and letting the market hold companies and economies accountable for performance, these people indulged in corporatism that ultimately damages us through pensions, prices, and a restriction of choice.
There appears to be a group of untouchables, an 'arrogance of untouchables' if you will, that permeate the system be it finance, politics, business or law. It is these untouchables that decided to pour vast amounts of our money into the black hole of the Eurozone; to sign us up to deals that see our bills increase, and allow a system where a true capitalist and competitive culture is smacked down through ill-thought-out regulation, size and control of the marketplace.
Not all bankers are evil; not all in the finance world are party to this corporatism but what happened with Libor is an inevitable symptom of this arrogance that is leading us down an ever-increasing doom spiral, despite what the untouchables communicate in their umpteenth European communique.
It is about time that certain businesses, bankers, and politicians alike realise that they are not as untouchable as they perceive themselves to be. If they don't, then the result may be, well, bogus dudes.

Filming of Benidorm to start March 25th
Following the news last year that the Benidorm TV series would begin a 6th series, production company Tiger Aspect have confirmed that filming will commence on the 25th of March, lasting until the end of June.
The usual characters will return, with the exception of bitchy drama queen Gavin, played by actor Hugh Sachs. He originally appeared as part of a gay couple with partner Troy, but in the last series was seen holidaying without him, instead bringing his "camp"work colleague Kenneth.
The town's Sol Pelicanos hotel - known to fans of the show as the Solana Hotel - remains the main setting for the series.
Auditions for extras are expected to commence at the start of March, and will likely be held at the Melia Hotel.
News this week has already reported that Spain saw an increase of 1.2 Million visitors during 2012, which together with further news that Spain has been surveyed as the "best value holiday destination" , suggests that Benidorm - amongst other Spanish resorts - might look forward to a succesful 2013 for visitor numbers.
Thanks to Benidormallyearround .

Resilience Programme - Supporting change in the arts
Over the past decade, the arts sector has faced a number of challenges, including reduced public sector funding. While we recognise that the market alone will never wholly support our cultural organisations – indeed, this is one of the reasons we fund them – being heavily reliant on public subsidy in a time of economic constraint is a major risk to sector and organisational resilience. The Arts Council and Belfast City Council are now working together to help arts organisations in the city respond to these new economic and socio-political realities.
By resilience we mean the vision and capacity of organisations to:
- anticipate and adapt to economic, social, environmental and technological change,
- seize opportunities and identify and mitigate risks, and
- deploy resources effectively to continue to deliver quality work in line with their mission.
Key Elements of the Programme
The programme will provide tailored, practical support, including:
- Organisational diagnostic process – organisations will be allocated an experienced business coach who will undertake a review of the current operation, identifying key strengths and weaknesses in order for the organisation to meet its full potential
- Organisational planning process – this will involve the development of a bespoke change management or strategic development plan.
- Series of masterclasses – tailored to the needs and ambitions of the participating organisations
- Implementation of development plan – organisations will be provided with tailored support to facilitate the process of making positive and tangible change
How to apply
To be considered for a place on the programme, please complete the application form and return it with all supporting documentation to:
Simon Devlin, Full Circle Management Solutions, at firstname.lastname@example.com
The closing date for receipt of application forms is 12 noon on 31 August 2018. We will not accept applications we receive after this time.
For general enquiries or further information on the application process, please contact Full Circle Management Solutions on 028 9069 1027.

"Awareness" has gone too far. TOO FAR. And there's plenty of truly tragic news this week to go along with the shit that's merely infuriating.

I have an ongoing love affair with questionable fashion. Now, when I say questionable, I don't mean like giving it the side-eye, "What in the hell is that and why are you wearing it?" fashion where I make a condescending judgment call. I mean the stuff that makes my 9-5 work day outfits pale in comparison, yet make my heart skip an excited beat. The stuff that Kelis can rock hard in a video, yet the actuality of me wearing it in my regular life seems slightly ridiculous. Possibly circus themed.

Good morning, Persephoneers! As many of you know, last night we had to make the move to a shiny new server. It was a tad bit more complicated than we had anticipated (as these things tend to be), and so our diligent yet exhausted editor-in-chief and her army of server gnomes need to take some time to regroup and make sure everything is spiffed up and ready for company. So we've taken the liberty of extending the weekend one additional day, and hope you'll join us in this open thread until we're 100% back in business.
To get us started, and as a tribute to our HBIC getting this server nonsense squared away pretty much by herself, I leave you with some Aretha and Annie Lennox:

Since I like music but am by no means any sort of expert, I'll write this review with one disclaimer: this is my OPINION
Last night, Andrew, Kate, Muzza and I all went to the Linkin Park concert. I know some of you are already thinking to yourselves… "WHY?" Well, in addition to being a hot pilot, Andrew also works for a radio station called Nova and he decided to work a shift at the concert. So he got paid for the night AND we all got free tickets. Can't really pass that up.
Chris Cornell opened and while I think he has an awesome voice, he was boring as shit. I enjoyed listening to the 3 songs I knew… and wanted to fall asleep during the rest. Not discrediting him or anything- but it just didn't do it for me. Plus he looked depressed and CRACKED out. Maybe that was just the rockstar look he was going for.
Linkin Park on the othe hand put on a really good show. Now, this doesn't mean I actually enjoyed it all, but I still can appreciate that it was really good. They had a cool stage and lights (we all know I love me some light shows at a concert) but seriously, no matter how hard I try… I just CANNOT appreciate screaming. Ok, I take that back… andrew will freak at me if I say that. I CAN appreciate how hard it would be to scream like that and then also sing nicely without sounding like you just smoked 8 packs of cigs… but again, I can appreciate– but me still no likey. They played some songs I knew of course… the overplayed KROQ singles, but they played a lot of songs I didn't know. Two of them were really nice slow songs and I really did enjoy those- I kept waiting for screaming to come ruin it… but it didnt…they just were nice the whole time. But one song- my personal fave included a piece where Chester screamed over and over "put me out of my misery…"
I knew JUST how he felt!
I think I enjoyed a few things about this show that I don't normally see/hear in the US.
1. The guy on crack/E/too much redbull next to me who literally was dancing and jumping around like a maniac. No rhythm, no structure to his excitement. Just waved his arms around and jumped up and down looking like a monkey. I was just waiting for him to hit me on accident so I could give him the evil eye. I felt REALLY embarassed for his girlfriend. I just don't see that in the US because I don't typically go to shows like Linkin Park where the fans are cracked out nutheads.
2. I thought it was great when the whole crowed started cheering and chanting… "Kickin paw, kickin paw, kickin paw." HUH??? Ummmm yeah turns out they were saying "Linkin Park" but it took my Aussie boyfriend to translate because to me- PARK has an R in the word…to Australians- it' doesnt. Just sounded like Pawk.
3. The Wave. Do people actually still do the wave? Well in Australia, yes… they do. I love the wave. While I didn't participate- Andrew and I had a chuckle for about 30 seconds while the wave went around the crowd about 4 times before people finally got over it. I've seen quite a few waves in my time at sporting events- but never at concerts.
Overall, I wasn't totally miserable, but I can't say it was the best thing ever. I'm glad Andrew really enjoyed himself and I could be with him- but again, the screaming just gave me a headache. Literally- I still have a really bad headache even now. When the encor came, I really felt for the true fans. I thought that they must be really sad knowing that this show, the one they were excited about for weeks, the one they spent $100 bucks on, was about to come to an end. I didn't mind though, I was tired.

The network of London's Gymbox fitness clubs offers its clients new classes. Here one can "order" the body to her own taste: that of Beyonce, Kylie Minogue, Kim Kardashian or resembling Pippa Middleton.
The instructors wear T-shirts with the names of these four celebrities. You attend the classes with a certain instructor depending on what body you choose. The course of "A Celeb Body like…" lasts for six weeks, and each trainer offers a variety of methods to achieve the goal.
For example, if you attend the course "A Body like Pippa", your training will mainly consist of Pilates, and in order to "sculpt" a body like that of Beyonce, you will need dancing, toning and more strength exercises.
Of course, the author of the idea does not exclude the important role that genetics plays in shaping our body. So, the course of trainings called "A Celeb Body like…" is more of an advertising campaign. But at the same time, Herbert Schmale (the Gymbox manager who came up with a new service) found that practicing different loads can generate different results, therefore he does not consider his idea to be completely fictional.
And what celeb body would you order?

Automatic Enrolment: is this the last contribution increase?
As pension advisers we get asked a lot by our employer clients if this April's increases in statutory pension contribution levels will be the last, or whether there are more increases on the way.
We can say for sure that there are no scheduled increases on the statute books at the current time. The existing policy framework only ever went up to levels we will see come into effect this April. However, in the DWP publication "Automatic Enrolment Review 2017: Maintaining the Momentum" we see some clear signposting of future policy.
Initially we expect the government to focus on the breadth and coverage of Auto Enrolment, targeting younger works (<age 22), those in the 'gig' economy and the self-employed for example.
However, we do expect further contribution increases in the 5-10 year time horizon. This is simply a question of adequacy. 8% of qualifying earnings is not enough (in our view) for someone working full time in the UK to maintain their current standard of living in retirement. The independent Pensions Commission backs this up and has identified that the State Pension, supplemented by automatic enrolment contributions of 8% of qualifying earnings would deliver around half (50%) of the level of savings needed to deliver adequate retirement incomes for most individuals.
We can't say when, and we can't comment on the levels of the mechanism, but we are sure that the will be an "Auto Enrolment: Phase 2" at some stage in the future.

SISTER GENUS is an multi-sensory installation inspired by the lifecycle and distribution of Chrysopogon zizanioides, commonly known as vetiver. Recently proven to cleanse fuel-contaminated soil, vetiver roots hold a strain of bacteria responsible for the production of an aroma often used in commercial perfume. Billing explores the plant as a metonym for growth in toxic times, examining the relationship between ecological destruction and collaborative survival. Working in reference to the historically gendered social roles of the healer and the witch, Billing poses questions about their dystopic future equivalent. Somewhere between a grow room and an abandoned laboratory, science fictive vignettes allude to collective fears of technological acceleration and genetic modification. A homemade distillation system diffuses scented vapor into the gallery, emphasizing the viewer's own bodily permeability. In SISTER GENUS, hypothetical hybrids, hacked electronics, and invented conduit circuits create a fictional ecology with biophysical implications.
Colleen Billing (b. 1991 | Baltimore, MD) lives and works in New York. She received her BFA from Virginia Commonwealth University and her MFA from Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University. She has participated in residencies at the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture and Vermont Studio Center.

Another thing that I loved about this was how quick and easy it was to make. You throw the shrimp and sauce together while the pasta is cooking, which for me was 10 minutes, and then you're good to go with on delicious meal!
One more thing, can we talk about this delicious picture? I think this might be my best food picture to date. I've set a goal for myself to get more of my recipes on Foodgawker and so I've been taking the time to actually take decent photos, I think it's paying off!
Ingredients:8oz angel hair pasta
2 tbsp butter
1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves minced garlic
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp dried parsley
1/4 cup grated Parmesan
Cook pasta according to package directions. While the pasta is cooking melt butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. When the butter is melted add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and shrimp to the pan. Cook on low 2-3 minutes until the shrimp is cooked and pink. Then add the lemon juice and chicken broth, and let it cook down for a few minutes.
Drain the pasta when it is done cooking and then add it in the pan with the shrimp. Toss is with the Parmesan and dried parsley, then serve immediately!

One of the joys of horticulture is nurturing growth that lasts—those long-blooming, hardy plants that thrive through the end of the season.
At first glance, you may consider mums at big-box stores as the quintessential example of this sustained beauty. However, it's only a matter of (just a little) time before you discover that what is in bloom now is sure to wilt and become brown. The reason this occurs is that these mums were likely grown in warm greenhouses to flush leaf growth and then chilled to force blooms to set earlier than is natural.
When's the best time to purchase your mums? It is during the budding stage—just as they are starting to show color to maximize the blooming time. From there, you will have plenty of time to enjoy them flourish. Good news for McAdam shoppers: Our mums are budding right now!
At our Nursery and Garden Center, mums are in stock, with two-gallon Mums priced at $9.99. Questions? Call us at 708-771-2299 or swing by from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
This installment of "Ask the Plant Expert" will be published in the September 18, 2019 edition of the Wednesday Journal of Oak Park and River Forest, the Forest Park Review and the Riverside-Brookfield Landmark.
