College writes to Secretary Michael Chertoff, US Department of Homeland Security, in support of health workers who fulfill ethical obligations in times of armed conflict
March 7, 2008
Secretary Michael Chertoff
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528
Dear Secretary Chertoff:
I am writing on behalf of the 125,000 members of the American College of Physicians (ACP), the nations largest medical specialty society, to express our deep concern about the Department of Homeland Securitys opposition to granting asylum to health workers based on their provision of medical care to rebel troops.
As stated in the ACP Ethics Manual By history, tradition, and professional oath, physicians have a moral obligation to provide care for ill persons...A physician may not discriminate against a class or category of patients. Health care workers serving sick and wounded independent of nationality or political affiliation during wartime, clearly demonstrate the principles of primacy of patient welfare, autonomy and social justice. We fear that the Department of Homeland Security in not granting asylum to health workers in recent years, fails to understand these ethical principles. Further, this appears to be in violation of the Geneva Convention, which clearly states that fulfillment of the obligation to care for the wounded and the sick should not affect ones legal status.
Health professionals must be permitted to fulfill their ethical obligations. Like Physicians for Human Rights, we applaud these health workers for upholding those duties. As physicians, we are obligated by our ethics code to promote health and human rights. Therefore, we strongly urge you to reconsider your interpretation of the Immigration and Nationality Act [8 U.S.C. 1182 [a][3][B][iv][VI]]. We support an amendment of the Act to the language identified in bold below:
As used in this chapter, the term "engage in terrorist activity" means, in an individual capacity or as a member of an organization -
(VI) to commit an act other than an act carried out to fulfill medical ethics obligations that the actor knows, or reasonably should know, affords material support, including a safe house, transportation, communications, funds, transfer of funds or other material financial benefit, false documentation or identification, weapons (including chemical, biological, or radiological weapons), explosives, or training [to a terrorist or terrorist organization].
The ACP believes that compliance with this interpretation of the Act and this amendment to reflect the intended interpretation would benefit not only all health workers, but all Americans.

While expressing satisfaction over assurances given by India on the multi-billion dollar Posco project, South Korean President Park Geun-hye called for the reopening of the Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA), one of the earliest of this kind India signed with any country.
Underlining the need to negotiate CEPA "with authenticity", Ms. Park pointed out that since its operationalisation, trade in volume terms has increased by 70 per cent but its content does not match with that of other FTAs. The South Korean President felt there was enough potential to raise the level of trade and investment and suggested liberalisation of the visa regime, a proposal that has already been accepted in-principle by New Delhi.
The dissatisfaction expressed by Ms. Park on CEPA mirrors the reservations Japan has on a similar pact signed with India. The India-Japan CEPA was signed about a year after the Korean version and Tokyo believes it is yet to pay dividends.
Ms. Park said environment clearance to the dollars 9 billions Posco project will encourage other major Korean Chaebols to invest in the country. "When the Posco project in Orissa kicks off on full scale, it would inspire other large conglomerates in Korea to channelise investible funds into India," she noted while speaking to leading Indian industrialists from all the three chambers of commerce and industry.
Union Commerce and Industry Minister Anand Sharma pointed out that India had put in place single window approval mechanisms and suggested South Korean investments in upcoming industrial townships and explore manufacturing opportunities.

RF couple will lead seminars at Mexican writers' conference Feb. 16-22
The San Miguel Writers' Conference is one of the world's most appealing literary gatherings. Audiences are drawn by its well-chosen roster of writers, editors and publishers, not to mention the spectacular setting for the whole affair.
That's what John Berendt, author of "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil," had to say after he was on the faculty of that workshop a few years ago.

425 Park Avenue / Foster + Partners
As we announced in early October, British powerhouse Foster + Partners have been declared as winner of the six-month long, all-star competition to design the next "landmark" high rise on the prime site of 425 Park Avenue in New York City. The tapered, steel-frame office tower is planned to rise 687 feet to claim a spot on the New York City skyline by 2017. Upon competition, the world-class high rise is expected to achieve LEED Gold status and serve as an exemplar for sustainable office design.
Foster's concept succeeded visions from Rem Koolhaas, Zaha Hadid and Richard Rogers (view all the proposals here). Construction is expected to begin in 2015, shortly after the completion of Foster's first U.S. residential high rise, which broke ground this week in New York.
Details of 425 Park Avenue after the break…
Extended Deadlines – Battery Conservancy Americas Design Competition 2012: Draw Up A Chair
The Battery Conservancy Americas Design Competition 2012: Draw Up A Chair, which we published a couple months ago here, has received an impressive number of registrations to-date and continue to receive wonderful design submissions. Due to the impact of SuperStorm Sandy on many of their registered and would-be participants, they recently announced that they have extended the competition submission deadline to Monday, November 19. For more information, please visit here.
Post-Hurricane Sandy: Solutions for a Resilient City
In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, as communities band together to clean up the devastation and utility companies work tirelessly to restore the infrastructure that keeps New York City running, planners and policy makers are debating the next steps to making the city as resilient to natural disaster as we once thought it was. We have at our hands a range of options to debate and design and the political leverage to make some of these solutions a reality. The question now is, which option or combination of options is most suitable for protecting New York City and its boroughs? Follow us after the break for more.
'NAWT Balloons' Land Art Generator Initiative Competition Entry / Norman Kelley
Designed for the Land Art Generator Initiative competition, the 'NAWT Balloons' concept, which was recently shortlisted in the competition, aims to couple the image of an oversized helium-filled teardrop with a nuanced application of wind energy technology. While the balloon's image and subsequent geometry are the primitives to the proposal, the deployment on the Fresh Kills site ignites an interest in the oversized and the attenuated. Designed by Norman Kelley, through its multiplication and reconfiguration, this design may be able to produce new, yet familiar, collections of iconicity. More images and architects' description after the break.
Foster+Partners' First US Residential Building Breaks Ground
50 UN Plaza, Foster+Partners' first residential building in the U.S., broke ground this morning. With the Hearst Tower long finished, Tower 2 at Ground Zero near complete, and a new iconic building planned for 425 Park Avenue, 50 UN Plaza will only further solidify Lord Foster's mark on New York City.
The 44-story luxury tower's privileged spot at the United Nations Plaza will give it remarkable views of the UN Building, the East River, and the Manhattan skyline. According to Foster, the building's deep bay windows (which line each of the tower's 3 volumes) will maximize that view and, along with its steel and glass facade, give the tower a distinctive, "jewel-like quality": "The slender proportion of 50 United Nations Plaza is attenuated by the vertical stacks of bay windows, which give it a distinctive identity[...] The polished stainless steel detailing of the facade is in the sprit of earlier historic towers in the city and it reflects the sharp quality of light which is special to New York."
The building, whose construction will incorporate recycled materials, also has a strong environmental agenda, combining active and passive energy strategies. According to the New York Observer, the tower's 87 units will range in size from 1,100 square feet one-bedrooms; three bedrooms as big as 3,000 square feet; full-floor residences; and a penthouse duplex, measuring about 10,000 square feet. One of the marquee features will also be a private driveway. The tower is expected to cost $500 million and be completed in 2014.

'Solar Loop' Competition Entry / Paolo Venturella & MenoMenoPiu Architects
Designed by Paolo Venturella & MenoMenoPiu Architects, their 'Solar Loop' finalist entry for the Land Art Generator Initiative competition aims to expose more surface as possible to the southern solar rays. Sited in FreshKills Park in New York City, the shape comes directly from the solar diagrams, and deals easily with the sun following it with the best angle almost like a frozen artificial sunflower.bThe aesthetic of the sculpture is the result of this dialogue that becomes synthesis between the solar power and the park. More images and architects' description after the break.
Photography: The Rockaways, Post-Sandy / Amanda Kirkpatrick
Hurricane Sandy has come and gone, but the destruction she left in her path remains a stark reminder of her strength.
Photographer Amanda Kirkpatrick has shared with us her images of The Rockaways in Queens, an upper-class beach neighborhood that was one of the areas hit hardest by the storm. Kirkpatrick's objective eye documents the twisted boardwalks and unrecognizably distorted homes in an almost "clinical" way, honestly portraying the damage from the perspective of the broken structures themselves.

510 W 22nd St / COOKFOX
New York-based COOKFOX, formally known as Cook + Fox Architects, has designed a state of the art office tower planned to neighbor the High Line by 2014. Projected to achieve LEED Platinum status, the glass and steel mid-rise offers large, light-filled interior spaces engineered for comfort and high performance, along with spectacular views of the Hudson River and direct connections to the High Line.

'TENACITY' Architectural Research Proposal / PinkCloud.DK
Proposed by PinkCloud.DK, TENACITY seeks to revitalize the broken system of New York City Public Housing through architectural development, economic stimulus, education, and most importantly – community pride. The goal for this project is to be a catalyst for dialogue, spurring community and governmental action. The design of TENACITY is founded on the firm's belief that a strong community is built upon three main goals – good health, prosperity, and family.

modeLab Lattice Lab
Originally scheduled for this weekend, the new dates for the Lattice Lab workshop, put on by modeLab, will take place November 17-18. The two-day workshop will focus on the topic of topological/subdivision modeling with paneling tools and weaverbird. In a fast-paced and hands-on learning environment, they will cover fundamental concepts related to working with mesh geometry, high-order topological smoothing, and grid-based modeling. Drawing inspiration from the patterns found in 3-dimensional lattice structures, they will create geometrical units capable of responding to a range of dynamic contexts. Additionally, they will explore the limits and opportunities of 3D printing while testing the visual and structural effects of their lattices. For more information, please visit here.
2013 P.S.1 Shortlist
MoMA P.S.1 has announced five finalists to compete in the 2013 Young Architects Program (YAP). Now in it's 13th edition, the competition will challenge a group of emerging architects to design a temporary installation within the walls of the P.S.1 courtyard for MoMA's annual summer "Warm-Up" series.
This year's finalists are CODA from Ithaca, New York; Leong Leong Architects and Moorhead & Moorhead both from New York City; TempAgency from Charlottesville, Virginia and Brooklyn; and French 2D, based in Boston and Syracuse, New York.
Over the years, the YAP competition has inspired a vast amount of innovative proposals. Just check out last year's winner, Wendy! This blue nylon beauty, designed by New York-based HWKN, graced the P.S.1 courtyard with her smog-eating, titania nanoparticle coated spikes. Learn more about the 2012 YAP award winner here.

Solar Carve Tower / Studio Gang Architects
Jeanne Gang is about to make her New York debut, as the Chicago-based architect just unveiled the latest project planned to border New York City's beloved High Line. The 180,000 square-foot office tower with ground level retail will replace an existing, disused meatpacking plant along 10th Avenue between 13th and 14th streets. It will feature a "gem-like", glass facade that is intelligently shaped to avoid the disruption of light, air and views from the High Line.
Dubbed the Solar Carve Tower, the mid-rise structure is currently pending city approval and is planned for completion in 2015.
Continue after the break for the architects' description.
New York: Night and Day
Amidst the post-Sandy recovery efforts, we would like to share with you New York: Night and Day by Philip Stockton. The New York-based animator and director created the film in attempt to explore the city's relationships between night and day from a series of fifteen preconceived locations. Using an interesting mix of non-traditional video time-lapse and animation, Stockton combined four to eight hours of footage from each location into single sequences using rotoscoping techniques.
Review each location after the break…
SOM breaks ground on New York's First Net Zero Energy School
A few days before the wrath of Sandy, Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) broke ground on what will be the first net zero energy school in New York City and the Northeast U.S. Located on a 3.5-acre site on Staten Island, at the intersection of Crabtree Avenue and Bloomingdale Road, P.S.62 Richmond will serve 444 pre-kindergarten through fifth grade students. When completed in Fall of 2015, the cutting-edge primary school will harvest as much energy from renewable on-site sources as it uses on an annual basis.

Will Sandy Finally Convince New York to Re-Design Its Waterfront?
Maybe Sandy, the colossal hurricane that has barreled across the East Coast this week, will finally get the message across: "We are all from New Orleans Now."
Thanks to climate change, America's coastal cities, and particularly New York, have become increasingly vulnerable to nature's wrath. Over two years ago, MOMA asked five architects to come up with a redesign of lower Manhattan that would prevent damage in the event of major flooding. Barry Bergdoll, the Curator of the "Rising Currents" exhibit, put it to the architects this way: "Your mission is to come up with images that are so compelling they can't be forgotten and so realistic that they can't be dismissed."
Unfortunately, they were. As the many images from traditional news sources and social media users reveal, Sandy's damage has been extensive – and perhaps, in many ways, preventable.
It often takes tragedy to instigate change. Let's hope that Sandy will finally get the conversation of New York's vulnerable urban landscape on to the table.
More images of Sandy's damage, as well as plans from MOMA's "Rising Currents" Exhibit, after the break…

SummaryAdd a Summary
This is the start of the 'Parker Novels', all of them should be considered Adult reading.
If you are thinking of writting or are a budding writer; this 24 book series will be a good read for you. What I enjoyed the most was the sentence structure. Instead of the usual rungs of a ladder, these novels written as Richard Stark, are interesting because of the manner of the written story.
I think of it as a new light of story telling.

LOS ANGELES, Cal. — "Starry-eyed, small-town girl goes to Hollywood and makes it big" is such a staple of popular imagination that it's doubled back on itself – it seems like something we (or maybe somebody's PR people) must have made up.

Aloha! It's Wednesday, April 1, 2015
For the past two years, there have been rumors about whether or not the Pro Bowl would continue, and if it would still be held in Hawaii. From day one of practice, it was evident that the NFL All Stars came to play. From quarterbacks to kickers, players worked on plays and drills and it all showed on game day. While everyone agrees it was a much better game than last year, we'll have to wait until April to learn of its fate. In the meantime, here's some highlights of Pro Bowl Week 2013.
Our goal for the new website is to provide you with a fast and convenient starting point online. With a single click, you will be able to view the latest local news, sports and original local content all within a single space. Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the final launch!

In "Using Ratings & Review Sites to Market Your Bar or Restaurant," I covered the basics of how ratings and review sites can benefit your restaurant or bar. In these days of social networking and 24/7 media, many restaurant and bar owners worry that one bad review will tarnish their reputation forever.
Download this article for great tips on finding suppliers for your bar or restaurant!
Whether you're starting a new bar or restaurant, or running an existing business, finding good, reliable suppliers is a key factor in your business's success. Where do you start?
Getting the right look for your bar or restaurant website so it attracts customers, informs them about what you offer, and keeps them engaged can be challenging. These days, there are more and more bells and whistles you can add to your site to stay on the cutting edge. Mark Drake, CEO of imSMB.com, an online Web design and Web hosting company for small businesses, suggests the following tips for designing a great bar or restaurant website.
What makes customers choose one restaurant or bar over another? Sure, the food and drinks are a major factor in their decision; so is the price. But more often than you may realize, it's the atmosphere of your bar or restaurant that convinces customers to come in…or sends them scurrying away.

As you plan the launch of your new bar or restaurant, one of the most crucial steps to success is developing a brand. Your brand encompasses your logo, trademark and marketing materials, among other things, but it's more than the sum of these parts. To state it simply, your brand is the image of your business.
Consider two businesses that both serve frozen treats, but have very different brands: Baskin-Robbins and Pinkberry. What do you think of when you think of these two brands? Here are some words that come to mind for me:
The mobile food truck craze is still going strong. If you own a brick-and-mortar restaurant, how can you take advantage of this popular phenomenon? There's still plenty of room for more food truck players—especially in cities with big populations where the mobile trend hasn't yet taken hold. And adding a food truck can expose your business to a whole new audience that may never have visited your restaurant.
Before you start shelling out money to outfit a truck with the latest cooking and storage equipment, however, ask yourself a few crucial questions:

W.Va. suspect killed, 2 officers wounded
John Evans, 84, threatened a neighbor, then shot and injured two responding officers before being fatally shot by police
Associated Press
CRAIGSVILLE, W.Va. — An 84-year-old West Virginia man who shot and injured two deputies was killed by police Saturday after he emerged from his barricaded house with a weapon, police said.
The death of John Evans outside his central West Virginia home escalated after a 911 call from a neighbor who told police Evans threatened him with a firearm over an unspecified dispute, said Sgt. Michael Baylous, a state police spokesman.
When a Nicholas County deputy arrived at Evans' house, Evans shot him with a shotgun, Baylous said. The second deputy was shot when he responded to the scene.
Both deputies were airlifted to Charleston for treatment of wounds that are not considered life threatening, Baylous said.
State police units and other law enforcement agencies then responded to Evans' house, sparking sporadic exchanges of gunfire over several hours.
"He just went through the house shooting at law enforcement," Baylous said.
Throughout the standoff, Baylous said, police appealed to Evans to surrender and used tear gas to flush him from the house. "No lines of communication could be established," he said.
Evans ultimately emerged from a back door of the house with a weapon and was killed, Baylous said.

US: Tyson, Post "in running" for Michael Foods
By Katy Askew | 14 April 2014
Tyson Foods and Post Foods have reportedly been short listed as possible buyers in the sale process for US protein group Michael Foods.
According to Reuters, citing unnamed sources, Tyson and Post have emerged as final contenders in the acquisition battle for the firm, which is expected to generate US$2.5bn.
Michael Foods manufactures products under the Papetti's, Crystal Farms, AllWhites and Simply Potatoes brands. The group generates annual sales of around $1.5bn.
Michael Foods was acquired in 2010 by Goldman Sachs' investment arm GS Capital Partners for $1.7bn. Rumours that Goldman Sachs was seeking to offload the business emerged at the end of last year.
Speculation has largely focused on Tyson as a potential strategic buyer. A spokesperson for the company declined to comment when contacted by just-food today (14 April).
Tyson Foods is expanding its stable of value-added brands. It has indicated it wants to increase exposure to prepared foods in order to offset some of the swings in commodity prices associated with the protein markets.
Last year, sales of prepared foods accounted for just 10% of group revenue. However, Tyson plans to grow value-added sales and the company has realigned its management structure to reflect this aim - separating its prepared foods and chicken operating units.
Meanwhile, acquisitive Post said it grew first-quarter sales by one-quarter in February. Revenue was boosted by the contribution of recently-acquired Attune Foods and Premier Nutrition Corp, although higher interest costs hit the bottom line. In the same month, the firm revealed a deal to acquire the PowerBar and Musashi brands from Nestle.
Post and Michael Foods did not return requests for comment at time of press.

Exterior window seal
sgilliattMay 30, 2014
I recently had Okna 500's installed and as I was touching up the area where the storm windows used to be I saw this on one of the windows (the picture appears sideways, the gap you are seeing is at the top of the window). I then proceeded to see this on a few others as well. I assume this is not proper, but wanted to get opinions from the board. If it's not, is it an issue of improperly measured windows or is it normal for there to be a space and the installers should have went back and applied additional sealant to the exterior of the windows?
Thanks in advance.

Originally published on Thu September 27, 2012 12:54 pm
And now we have this programming note for you. On Wednesday, October 10, NPR's TELL ME MORE will host a live radio broadcast and Twitter education forum focusing on issues facing our nation's schools. And leading up to the forum we've invited educators, parents, reporters and everybody else to join in via Twitter to take on these tough issues.
The discussion will range from how to offer the latest high tech in classrooms to why some rural schools are struggling to deliver the basics to their students. And we'll ask whether the skills so many American children need can even be taught in schools. That's especially critical for the millions of kids who are growing up in poverty.
Whether the schools you're concerned about are rural or urban, high income or low, we want to hear your ideas about how to meet the pressing challenges facing our nation's schools. So join us on Twitter today using hash tag #NPREdChat and let's begin the exchange of ideas. To learn more, go to NPR.org and click on the Program guide and then go to TELL ME MORE.

'The Fish, Tequila Lotto'
Roll over image to zoom in
This fisherman is in for a big surprise: he's hooked a fish inside a tequila bottle. The composition is marked as card number 32 of Marina Pallares' exclusive interpretation of Mexico's lotería. It is a unique version of the classic bingo game featuring traditional images. The lotería made its appearance in the second half of the 18th century, and it is still a favorite at schools, fairs, carnivals and festivals. "I grew up in Jalisco, known for the production of tequila from agave plants, and as a child I used to play lotería all the time. These two facts inspired me to create the 'Tequila Lotto' series," confides Pallares, who credits the influence of Leopoldo Méndez and José Guadalupe Posada in her work. She masters aquafortis and aquatint etching techniques to create this eloquent composition.

"I think painting has always been my destiny, because throughout my life, certain unexplainable things keep happening that lure me to the path of the fine arts.
"I have exhibited my work individually and collectively in Jalisco, San José del Cabo and Hamburg, Germany.
"I define myself as an eternal seeker. I don't like labeling myself or my work, so as soon as someone else tries to place me in a category or classification, I rebel and I change. It's just that it's early in my career and it would be dangerous, professionally speaking, to label me already.
"I enjoy having the biggest array of instruments available to express myself. In other words, I adapt techniques according to the theme that I'm working on.
"Most of my themes revolve around people and ordinary activities such as drinking coffee, riding a bike or dancing. Although sometimes I can be more complicated and express my dreams, my feelings, and other personal issues."

Nick Clegg exclusive interview: 'The clouds are lifting. We need to look people in the eye and say - we got it right'
Deputy Prime Minister goes to the Lib Dem conference leading a party that has failed to impress the public with its achievements. He tells Andrew Grice he wants that to change
Andrew Grice
Andrew Grice has been Political Editor of The Independent since 1998. He was previously Political Editor of The Sunday Times, where he worked for 10 years, and he has been a Westminster-based journalist since 1982. His column, Inside Politics, appears in The Independent each Saturday.
Friday 13 September 2013
'We need to lift the veil," Nick Clegg said as he promised to talk more about his battles with the Conservatives inside the Coalition. While the Liberal Democrats' private polling shows that one in four voters will either vote for the party or are considering it, it also reveals that many people have little idea what the Lib Dems have achieved in government since 2010.
In an important change of gear, Mr Clegg will talk more openly about what his party has stopped the Tories from doing, as well as highlighting the flagship Lib Dem policies the Coalition has implemented, such as the £10,000-a-year income tax threshold that starts next April. His message to voters is that if the Lib Dems had not been there the "nasty party" would have lurched to the right.
Rehearsing his speech to the Lib Dem conference in an interview with The Independent, the Deputy Prime Minister rattled off a list of Tory proposals that his party has vetoed. It includes a recent attempt to cut planned child care provision for two-year-olds; a 40p top rate of income tax (instead of the current 45p); cuts in inheritance tax for the rich; workers being "fired at will" without good reason; state schools being run for profit; a divisive two-tier examination system; and regional pay for public sector workers.
"These things would have happened if the country had turned blue," Mr Clegg explained in his Whitehall office yesterday. "We need to explain that this country would be very different indeed – in my view a lot less fair – if the Conservatives had been left to their own devices." The other half of the Lib Dems' pitch is that, if they were in coalition with Labour after 2015, they would rein in a party that cannot be trusted to run the economy.
"We need to be unabashed about the fact that we have played a vital, even pivotal, role in saving the British economy and a leading role in providing fairness in the tax, education and skills systems and greening our economy for the future," Mr Clegg said.
"We need to look people in the eye and say, 'We got it right'. We made a big judgement, we were criticised for it, we were put under a lot of pressure, but we got it right," he said. "There is a long way to go. But the clouds are lifting, there is brighter news, we have turned a corner and passed through the darkest hour. That would not have been possible if the Lib Dems had not held our nerve and held together as we have."
The $64,000 question for many Lib Dems is: how does the party stop the Tories getting all the credit for the return to economic growth? His answer: "By telling the truth." Another reason to "lift the veil" on the Coalition's inner workings.
Mr Clegg is exasperated that left-wing critics within the party are threatening to defeat him on the economy, just when it is picking up. When he urges the conference to reject a rebel motion on Monday, he said, "I will be inviting delegates to put their hands up to admit we were right". Rejecting claims that he is advocating "Osbornomics", he insisted: "It is not an act of fiscal masochism as some people describe it, but quite a measured and stable approach to dealing with the deficit."
Some of the critics want Vince Cable, the Business Secretary, to lead the party into the next election – among them Lord Oakeshott, who said woundingly on Thursday that Mr Clegg's personal ratings were as bad as those of Michael Foot, the man who led Labour to a crushing defeat in 1983.
Mr Clegg replied: "I would miss [Lord Oakeshott] if he didn't pop up at this time of year. It is like clockwork. The weather becomes foul, we have our conference, and up pops Matthew Oakeshott with some disobliging comments. It is his role in life. I can't really take it that seriously."
He insisted: "I will be the leader up to and beyond the next general election because the vast bulk of the party not only accepts but endorses the basic strategy as we move from being a party of opposition to one of government, a progressive party in the liberal centre. If you have a strategy you think is broadly the right one, the worst thing to do is constantly chop and change.
"Parties that becomes short-term, tactical, turn in on themselves, or duck and weave because of the latest poll, do very badly indeed. There is no clarity, you leave people confused, look weak and uncertain. It is not easy, but we have chosen the right path for the right reasons. Therefore it is essential we see it through."
Mr Clegg takes more seriously the parting shot by Sarah Teather, the former Schools Minister, who, as she announced she will leave Parliament at the election, undermined his claims about standing up to the Tories by saying he had given too much ground on immigration and welfare.
While he dismissed her account as a "caricature", and defended the Government's £26,000-a-year cap on benefit payments for a family, he shared her concern about the "bedroom tax". He said he was "the prime mover" in winning more discretionary funds for councils to ease the pain, and is nagging Iain Duncan Smith, the Work and Pensions Secretary, to keep the controversial cuts in housing benefit under review.
"The unease, which I totally understand and in many ways share, is for those individuals who get caught out as the system is changed from one approach to the other," Mr Clegg admitted. "We have got to keep this under review all the time."
A debate has begun about the Lib Dems' target audience in 2015. In a previous interview with The Independent, Mr Clegg in effect wrote off the 2010 Lib Dem voters who were appalled at his decision to enter a coalition with the Tories. But Tim Farron, the left-of-centre Lib Dem president, said this week: "The people who are most likely to vote for you next time are those who voted for you last time. You don't write people off."
Mr Clegg insisted there was no contradiction: his party would woo "soft Labour" as well as "soft Conservative" voters. All he meant was that some people wanted to cast a protest vote, and would never support a party in power.
"I am quietly optimistic," he said. "I accept we have a huge mountain to climb. We have a long way to go. We have lost a lot of support."
Today The Sun depicted him as a poodle, after a poll found that people thought it was the animal he most resembled. Revealingly, perhaps, his aides had not shown him it. I did. His instant response had some bite: "Just ask the Tory backbenchers who constantly complain I stop the Tory party from doing what they want. They say I am the tail wagging the dog."

We could always use a little help in the sweat department, and (MALIN+GOETZ)'s award-winning deodorant stick has us covered. The long-lasting formula relies on refreshing eucalyptus extract and citronellyl to zap odors and moisturize skin for up to 24 hours.
Magazines like Wallpaper and Esquire are big fans of (MALIN+GOETZ)'s unisex deodorant, and so are we. The aluminum-free formula is extra-effective thanks to eucalyptus extract, a natural antibacterial and antiseptic that keeps funky odors at bay for up to 24 hours. Especially great for sensitive skin, this silky deodorant absorbs quickly and won't irritate or clog pores. Plus, it smells incredibly fresh.
Apply to dry underarms after your morning shower, or whenever your armpits need a little odor armor.
Propylene Glycol, Purified Water (Aqua Purificata), Sodium Stearate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Eucalyptus Globulus (Eucalyptus) Leaf Extract, Citronellyl Methylcrotonate, Sodium Hydroxide, Caprylyl Glycol, Phenoxyethanol, Hexylene Glyco
Decent product, decent smell, wasn't my favorite product ever but it was a nice sample
I love malin + goetz in general but this deodorant just doesn't work. It also really irritates the skin which makes it not usable.
I didn't very much like the smell, but it worked well enough.
Smell and overall quality of the product are good. Unfortunately, it irritates sensitive skin, especially when used in consecutive days.
I like this deodorant, but don't absolutely love it. It smells a little more medicinal than I would prefer, but it works well enough. I may buy it again if I don't find something better.
I was looking for a more natural product, without any aluminum and I actually really like this. A lot of natural deodorants don't always come in a stick form, so this is great. The scent is light and fresh and it does a decent job of keeping you dry!
As i've mad the change away from using metal based deodorants, this has become my go to. Now to be fair, the eucalyptus smell is noticeable after for a little while after it's applied. So be prepared to mask it.
Ended up giving it to my Dad after months of stubborn refusal continued to leave me with irritated underarm skin. Super sad. I otherwise loved this product. Wish my skin would just get over itself.
I love the packaging and want to love this brand. The process of applying this product feels nice but the effects are nonexistent. The smell is nice, but then you start living life, doing things, and then... smelling bad quickly. Do not recommend.
I think it has a light scent but smells like it would be best for a guy. I didnt get the best sweat proof coverage from this deoderant. Wouldnt buy again.

In an inversion, sentences are not written in normal word order. For example, Bradstreet writes "I wakened was with thund'ring noise" instead of "I was wakened with thund'ring noise." Inversion is often used to make a poem's rhyme scheme work out or to maintain a fixed meter. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ •Plain style is a way of writing that stresses simplicity and clarity of expression. There are four characteristics of plain style: everyday language, simple sentences, direct statements, and Biblical references.

What is the speaker's initial reaction when she wakes up to find her house on fire? _____________ 2. In the second stanza, Bradstreet shows the Puritan belief that God is the true owner of everything she possessed. Write the lines that show this belief. ______________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 3. List three of the items in the house (mentioned in the poem) that burned. _______________________________________________________________________ 4. What is the metaphor in lines 43-48? _______________________________________________________________________ 5. Bradstreet chides (scolds) herself. She is having trouble accepting the loss of her house. She asks herself where true wealth abides (lives). If true wealth is not on earth, according to Puritans, where is it? (Tip: Read the last line of the poem.) ________________________________________________________ 6. What did Bradstreet value more than her house? How did this help her accept the loss of her house by fire? ______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ 7. Complete the chart below using plain style. Example of Inversion from the Poem Restatement of the Inversion "In silent night when rest I took" (line 1) "I, starting up, the light did spy," (line 7) "When by the ruins oft I past" (line 21) "My pleasant things in ashes lie," (line 27) "And them behold no more shall I." (line 28) 8. Bradstreet speaks of another "house" in an extended metaphor at the end of the poem. What is this house, who is its architect, and how is it more perfect than the house she has lost? 9. Pelf-a word designating riches or worldly goods – is usually only when the riches or goods are considered to be slightly tainted, ill-gotten, or stolen. Why do you suppose Bradstreet uses such a bitter word to describe her own cherished treasures? 10. How does Bradstreet's attitude change during this poem and why?

My wife and I are in the process of planning the second leg of our "loop" trip and we used Marinalife's online booking services to make reservations at 14 marinas along the way! Within one day, we had 12 confirmations and two of the marinas let us know they were booked up from a fishing derby. Marinalife immediately gave us a few other recommendations and... voila... our trip is set! A big thank you to Marinalife's team for making our "bucket list" voyage so easy and stress free!
