Later years
Wollaston closed down his platinum business in 1820 when supplies of crude platinum ore dried up. Although he continued to publish scientific papers, he spent more time traveling and visiting friends after closing his business. In 1828 Wollaston began to suffer transient periods of partial paralysis and reacted by methodically but quickly dictating the last of his scientific papers, selecting mementos for his closest friends, and distributing his wealth among his many brothers and sisters. An autopsy revealed that he died of a brain tumour, which he had earlier suspected as the cause of his declining health. Wollaston, physician and physicist Thomas Young, and Davy all died within six months of each other, and the loss of three of Britain's leading scientists caused several contemporaries to claim that their passing signaled a perceptible decline in British science.

The Moment of Silence is a high-tech political thriller scribed by German adventure masters 'House of Tales'. Set among the sprawling, metropolis of New York a few decades in the future, the game mixes real locations with fictitious areas to create a world with incredible variety, in which no-one is what they seem.
Players step into the shoes of Peter Wright, a communications designer currently working on the Government's 'Freedom of Speech' campaign. But when his neighbour's apartment is stormed by a SWAT team, never to be seen again, Pete is drawn into a breathtaking world of corruption, power and global domination which will set hearts and minds racing.
The game marries fully-rendered, animated backdrops with a traditional adventure interface, resulting in once of the best-looking examples in the genre. Full motion video – created by the team that has worked on countless other games, including Star Wars Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader – depict moments of high drama, putting the game on par with some of cinema's greatest thrillers.
Over eight hours of professional voice talent ensure the drama sounds as good as it looks, with over 35 characters appearing throughout the game. Traditional adventure puzzles are fused with dialogue choices and action sequences to create an adventure which is constantly challenging – and one that aims to reinvigorate the genre

Hello, I would like to make some friend os mine a present: a bottle of liquor. But I will fill the liquor in that kind of glasses, that those old moonshine distillers have used, looking like a kind of fruit jar. For that aim I want to print some labels, that should look like vintage ones and telling, it is any kind of moonshine-corn whiskey or snaps. I have tried to find some vintage looking whiskey or liqor labels at GR, but have not found such. Beeing not so familiar with the English language, I would like to ask here for help: what search phrases should I use for getting some results for vitnage moonshine labels? thanks for helping me! Holger
Hey, I'm sure there's something on GraphicRiver that you can find useful
Try this search and this one.
Thank you for your help. There are a lot of vintage labels or badges indeed. What I have in mind are special designs for retro alkohol-labels. But maybe I will find some between all the other labels.
There are quite a few on this site. Keep looking

NASA Discovers Life's Building Block In Comet 148
from the low-glycemic-index dept.
Are we sure it is not an alien spaceship ?
Don't they make a claim like this every other week? It isn't getting any more interesting. Elements of life found in an old pile of pancakes left behind in an abandoned nuclear power plant, now that would be interesting.
So now we know
Obviously, the discovery of sentient life "abroad" is going to be anticlimactic now.
Way to ruin it.
q: Whats the difference between average slashdotter and average comet?
a: one gets to spread its "life's building blocks" around
It's not that complicated. Shouldn't we be waiting to get excited about something more complex?
Yeah, I'm waiting for: 'Scientist find building blocks for taco's in comet, decide to build lunch.'
only thing we're missing from most plots is a hive mind!
Don't Rush Limbaugh fans qualify?
Apparently they can't be bothered to pick up a textbook and learn that Redi and Pasteur proved it doesn't work like that a couple hundred years ago.
It's call the law of biogenesis.
Stop spending tax dollars trying to prove your Theory when there is already a scientific law disproving it.
If you want to spend your own money on it fine, just stop spending mine on your junk 'science.'
he said "Hive Mind".
When I first read the headline, I saw "NASA Discovers Life's Building Blocks in Cement". I figured they had found Jimmy Hoffa.
So what you're saying is that we only have a 25% chance of being able to digest the alien species, but a 75% chance of being able to use them as a calorie-free artificial sweetener?

Land Developer: Job Description, Duties and Salary
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a land developer. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about schooling options, job duties and experience to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
Land developers acquire property and oversee construction of residential, commercial and industrial structures. They work with local governments to ensure land is developed in compliance with zoning ordinances and regulations. Although there are no degree programs designed to train prospective land developers, earning a degree in a field that is related to the skill set needed is encouraged. Such programs lead to awards in real estate, business, management and civil engineering.
|Required Education
|High school diploma or GED; a postsecondary degree in a field related to land development, such as civil enginerring, business, real estate or management
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)
|12% for all property, real estate and community association managers*
|Median Salary (2013)
|$53,200 for all property, real estate and community association managers*
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Job Description
Land developers oversee the acquisition of property and the subsequent planning and construction for specific use of the land. Real estate organizations might specialize in developing one type of property, such as:
- Residential
- Retail
- Office
- Industrial
- Medical
Land developers take into account property value, economic trends and zoning ordinances when assessing land for potential projects. They might apply to localities and work with regional planners to rezone or subdivide a parcel of land.
Land development encompasses a number of job titles and specialties. Some professionals handle administrative and regulatory duties such as zone ordinances and construction permits. Others might focus on market analysis or manage the entire real estate portfolio for a development firm.
Land developers research zoning ordinances, construction regulations and environmental restrictions when considering property. They make projections that assess potential profitability based on population growth, traffic patterns, local taxes and other factors. For example, the research arm of NAIOP, the Commercial Real Estate Development Association, states in a 2009 report that demand for office space increases proportionally to employment rates within a metro region (www.naiop.org).
Developers must negotiate the purchase of land and manage the work of architects, construction companies and property managers. They apply to localities to rezone land, perform impact analyses and receive building construction permits. They also might perform, or request that the locality perform, environmental and safety reviews.
Wages vary depending on a professional's role within the land development process. According to Salary.com, the median annual salary for an entry-level land support agent, who handles land transaction records, was $41,559 as of October 2014, while land administration managers earned a median of $135,770.
Salary.com also reported that, as of October 2014, the median wage for property acquisition managers was $101,592. Community development managers with 10 years of experience earned $117,419. Real estate and relocation directors, who oversee all real estate activity for a company, had a median salary of $138,156.

A Stunning Combination Between Classic and Modern : Abril Furniture Collection
Abril is the latest collection of furniture from MOBILFRESNO, expected to be launched this April. The elegant set brings together dining chairs, bed frames, interesting wardrobes and great looking night-stands. The designers like to say they are "suffused with the self-same light of the serenity and elegance of April". Leaving poetry aside and looking at these interior from a practical point of view, we can not help but noticing a harmonious combination between classic and contemporary. The items go great in combination but can also be purchased individually and be integrated in any similar classic-modern environment. Elegant and refined, some of the products (such as the desks) could also be used as office furniture. The unusual shapes contribute to the collection's originality. Feeling inspired? -via 3rings

Ieeieieieiw..Neo-retro-Neo-classisism. Ab-so-lute-ly NOT my thing. Apparently very much aimed at the American market. About which someone on this blog aptly stated :
"Money is related to class only in the minds of people who have too much of the former, too little of the latter or none of either."

By Rich Cline on Thursday 20th May 2010
Carly (Burley) is horrified when her boyfriend Jay (Roach) announces that not only is he leaving their successful street dance crew, but he also wants to break up with her. Suddenly she's in charge of the team, and she makes a deal with a ballet teacher (Rampling) to use a dance studio in exchange for adding five of the students to her team. One of them, Tomas (Winsor), takes a special interest in Carly, but the ballet dancers struggle to add street-cred to their moves. And the big competition is in just five weeks.
If you've ever seen one of these movies (from Step Up and You've Got Served to the recent British variation Freestyle), you know that there will be a pointless plot twist that adds unnecessary tension to the final act. On the other hand, this film has something those other films lack: raw passion.
Despite some uneven acting and direction in the dramatic scenes, the characters are actually likeable and realistic, and their physicality expresses their personality beautifully. We haven't really seen this on-screen since Flashdance.
Burley is terrific in the central role, and her chemistry with both Roach and Winsor transcends the PG-certificate corniness, mainly thanks to her earthy tetchiness and the fact that her refreshingly understated personal journey is more important than any romantic subplot. It also of course helps to have Rampling and other seasoned pros giving the film some unexpected elegance and class.
But of course it's the dancing that we've come to see, and the film certainly doesn't disappoint. The choreography is terrific--both ballet and street-dancing as well as mash-ups of the two. And the 3D is impressive as well, with witty touches along the way, including a fantastic food fight. And even when the plot groans and clanks, the film has enough humour, spirit and joy to keep us engaged right to the exuberant finale.

Advice & Support
Most school-age children feel driven to "make it" in the world away
from home. Making friends and being accepted become top priorities.
School is a testing ground where children evaluate, accept, and
reject each other daily. At times, parents cringe at the degree to which
children try to fit in and are often saddened by their children's many ups and
downs. Parents often see children's interactions as cruel, and they can be. But
through these encounters, children learn some of the basic social skills needed
to be competent adults. Be prepared for the tumultuous nature of friendships in
this age group, and do not exaggerate the importance of the rough periods.
There is no one easy formula for teaching social skills. People learn
through watching parents, friends, and others interact over a lifetime.
Although bullying or abusive behavior should be addressed, parents should be
sensitive about when to get involved and try to let children work out issues on
their own.
Here are some crucial skills that will help your child become more
socially competent:
Around age 9, many children successfully form close friendships.
Forming these relationships helps children develop sensitivity to the feelings
of others.

Post-sex gel shows signs of promise against HIV
Published on Mar 13, 2014 8:18 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A first-of-its-kind vaginal gel that is designed to be applied after sex has shown promise in preventing the virus that causes Aids in research monkeys, United States (US) scientists said on Wednesday.
While testing is still at a very early stage, researchers hope the gel could be a more practical and effective option than current anti-retroviral gels on the market which must be applied before sex.
The gel was developed by scientists at the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, and contains a Merck-made drug called raltegravir which decreases the amount of HIV in the blood.
"What we did in this work was we identified an anti-HIV drug that blocks virus integration in the DNA," study co-author Walid Heneine told Agence France-Presse. "This is a prerequisite step for HIV infection, and that step takes at least six hours after infection so that provides a wide window for dosing after sex."

Traveling to Mexico
No entry documents are required for those who travel to Mexico on foot or by car within 30 miles of the border. When traveling by air between the United States and Mexico or beyond 30 miles of the border, citizens of the United States, Canada and Mexico are required to produce evidence of citizenship.
U.S. citizens: A valid U.S. passport, or U.S. state or federal government-issued birth certificate with government-issued photo ID such as unexpired driver's license or military ID, or notarized photocopy or notarized fax copy of the above birth certificate with government-issued photo ID. Note: The following documents are not valid as proof of citizenship: voter's registration cards, hospital-issued birth certificates or affidavits of citizenship.
U.S. citizens under age 18: Children under age 18 traveling with a birth certificate are not required to have photo ID, but it is highly recommended. Children under age 18 traveling to Mexico without both legal guardians must have a notarized letter of consent from the non-traveling parent(s) granting permission for the child to travel. The notarized letter of consent is not waived even when the minor has his or her own passport. Adults with infants too young to have received a birth certificate must have a notarized letter from the pediatrician or hospital of birth identifying the traveling adult by name to the infant.
How to get a passport
American citizens can visit the State Department's travel Web site, www.travel.state.gov, or call the U.S. National Passport Information Center: (877) 4USA-PPT; TDD/TTY: (888) 874-7793. Allow yourself a sufficient amount of time to apply and receive your passport in advance of travel. Allow six weeks for processing of your passport application. If you need to travel urgently and require a passport sooner, please visit www.travel.state.gov.

The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative
The Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative, under the departments of State and Homeland Security, will require all travelers, including U.S. citizens, to and from the Americas, the Caribbean and Bermuda to have a passport or other accepted document that establishes the bearer's identity and nationality to enter or re-enter the United States. This is a change from prior travel requirements. The goal is to strengthen border security and facilitate entry into the United States for U.S. citizens and legitimate foreign visitors. All U.S. citizens traveling within the Western Hemisphere will now be required to carry a passport or other accepted document. This will also affect certain foreign nationals who currently are not required to present a passport to travel to the United States —— namely, most Canadian citizens, citizens of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda and Mexican citizens.
The WHTI will be rolled out in phases. The proposed timeline:
- Dec. 31, 2006: All air and sea travel to or from Canada, Mexico, Central and South America, the Caribbean and Bermuda.
- Dec. 31, 2007: Extended to all air, sea and land border crossings.

The experiences of Mumsnetters and other UK women are helping to address barriers to GP care(4 Posts)
Last year, Maternity Action and the Women's Health and Equality Consortium asked women across the UK to tell us about their experiences of primary healthcare. The report resulting from this research has now published and can be found, among other places, on the Maternity Action website. Many of our respondents were Mumsnet users, and here is some of what you told us.
The challenges of juggling work, care and health
Your responses gave an insight into the practicalities of combining work and childcare with looking after your own health, and that of your children. Around 40% of the women we heard from found it very hard, or relatively hard, to get an appointment with their GP. A surprising number said that their surgery only offers the limited choice between turning up for a same-day appointment, and waiting several weeks. Clearly, this is problematic for a number of reasons.
The prospect of going to one of their 'drop-in sessions' and waiting an indefinite amount of time is not a good one. It is very hard to tell my work that I will need a morning off to see the doctors but being unable to be more specific about appointment times.
I get allowed an hour free from work to take doctors appointments - but I don't drive and there's no way I can get to the doctors on the bus, have a 10 minute appointment (which is probably running late anyway) and then get back to work again on the bus in that time! Just doesn't seem worth it unless I believe I'm seriously ill.
Some respondents also said they would not be paid if taking time off and could not afford to lose a whole day's pay. As a result, many women sought help later and less often than they would have liked sometimes with the consequence of minor health problems worsening and requiring more costly and long-term treatment.
Appointment systems also fail to accommodate those with young children. Many mothers said that booking times clashed with the school run, usually requiring patients to call at 8.30. Others pointed out how unaccommodating GPs can be when children are ill.
The wait for non urgent appointments is 2-3 weeks. Otherwise patients are required to turn up in person at the GP surgery at 8am to book an urgent appointment which will be at any time during the day requiring 2 trips - this is completely inhumane as a mother coping with ill children.
73% of women with young children said they usually have to bring their child into their own appointment. This is unsurprising, given the short notice. However, having children present can make it difficult to talk about issues like mental health, sexual health and violence in the home issues which, according to our respondents, are hard enough to seek help for as it is.
Seeing a female doctor
Physical, sexual, and emotional health are all private matters, and 62% said that they feel more comfortable talking to a female health professional.
I generally want to see a female GP for anything where I will have to undress. Definitely for gynaecological issues.
I usually like to see a female GP. If I just have a general medical problem like a chest infection then I don't mind which doctor I see. But if I have a more personal problem I prefer to see a female GP.
There was also some anecdotal evidence of male GPs being reluctant to examine women intimately, which in one case had led to misdiagnosis and the wrong prescription. Despite the fact that many women are hesitant to see male GPs for certain problems, 20% of respondents said that they cannot request a female doctor at their practice some surgeries do not actually have one, and in smaller areas there may be few practices to choose from. A further 14% did not know whether their practice allows them to request a woman GP.
Sexuality and sexual orientation
The issue of sexuality can be difficult to talk about, and this especially seemed to be the case for lesbian and bisexual women. Many said that previous experiences of snide remarks and rudeness about their sexual orientation had made them reluctant to talk to GPs and nurses about anything that would require them to disclose it. This could be anything from cervical screening, which is very often combined with contraception advice, to discussions about mental health, during which the home situation and relationships tend to be discussed. One woman in a focus group for Lesbian and Bisexual women had been unable to seek help for depression for this reason. Another had avoided smear tests for ten years.
Mental health
Mental health was a prominent issue among our respondents 71% in our survey had experienced at least one such problem at some point in their lives. It was encouraging to see that the majority had sought help from their GP, and that many credited their doctor with improving or even saving their life. However, it was clear that some women were unable to access such excellent support - 23% of sufferers had not sought help, often for reasons relating to stigma, and the fear of not being taken seriously. One mother feared that her capacity as a mother would be called into question, and another had waited a year for therapy after a suicide attempt.
Expected he would just say its natural in a woman of your age - whatever age I was!
Telling me that 'anxiety isn't a medical condition' is not appropriate. It's hard enough to talk about mental health but when GPs don't take you seriously it's even harder.
Domestic Violence
22% of the women in our survey had experienced domestic violence. GPs have a role in referring to appropriate organisations, as well as addressing the emotional aspects of such as situation. Out of the small number who did seek help from their doctor, about two thirds had a positive experience. However, many more women were intensely embarrassed about what had happened to them and did not want anyone to know what was happening. Many also doubted whether doctors could help with such issues at all, and thought it was too difficult a topic to bring up during a short 5-10 minute appointment.
Worried about stigma, being judged, not finding the right words, getting too upset What could they do at the time?
I didn't realise, at the time, that it was an option. I also didn't realise that I was being abused.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in the research, which will enable us to get concrete information about womens everyday experiences to NHS England and the Department of Health. It is our hope that the report, and our recommendations in it, will help the healthcare providers and policymakers to meet their commitments to providing the best possible care to women in the UK.
You can download the full report, entitled Women's Voices on Health - Addressing Barriers to Accessing Primary Care HERE
You can listen to a podcast about the report HERE
Inspired by this campaign I recently made a complaint about my GP practice (access to appointments, information offered about alternatives). I just heard back that they are changing their booking procedures, appointment profile, and staff training.
Access to primary care is so important. GPs may be strained but timely, appropriate treatment is more effective and cheaper overall anyway.
What advice would you give to a woman who has been raped by a HCP?
Is there any provision for such women?
Is there any acknowledgement of this as an issue? Any collation of statistics, or recommended resources?
Clearly for any woman who was raped by a HCP, it's hard to trust, which makes accessing medical care very difficult.
Hi TheCheckerdyHorse,
Rape is always an issue for the police and it is possible to get support from organisations such as Rape Crisis (http://www.rapecrisis.org.uk/, Helpline: Freephone 0808 802 9999 betwwen 12 - 2.30pm and 7 - 9.30pm).
I am not aware of any statistics specifically on rape or assault in the healthcare context, or any resources on this specifically. I think the main issue should be that the woman is given counselling and support to take her case forward. If this happens, she is more likely to be able to live her life normally, including accessing health services.

|Key Info
In 1947, this wine-quinta was saved from destruction, when the reservoir of Ermal was formed. It was rebuilt stone by stone to its current location at 450 meters altitude. It is surrounded by 10 acres of land with mixed forest, orchards, vineyards and an ornamental garden with both sunny and shady seating areas. The whole area is invisible from outside, so it is suitable for nudism. It is only a 5 minutes walk to the borders of the reservoir of Ermal.
The current owners have improved the comfort, but the original features have been preserved as well as some rural antique furniture.
The main house sleeps 5 people, this can be extended up to 7 persons.
1st floor:
Living room with fireplace, dining room, kitchen. 2 double bedrooms each with own shower and toilet, 1 single bedroom, in the hall a large bathroom.
On the east a huge porch with two large dining tables and benches. Wake up with breakfast in the morning sun, as the rest of the day in the shade, enjoying the magnificent views. Even the higher peaks of the Serra do Gerês can be seen from here, as well as the whole ridge of the Serra da Cabreira.
On the west side along the length of the house a conservatory overlooking the garden. Here is a large collection of books and DVDs.
In the garden amongst others a table tennis and a large swimming pool, but without a shallow area for children! There are several waters on the rest of the territory, so beware that your kids will not fall into it.
Near the house is the Casinha: a granite cottage with a twin bedroom and a toilet with sink. If you rent in addition to the main building the Casinha, on the ground floor of the main house a bathroom with shower will be at your disposal, that is accessible from outside. In the Casinha is no heating (the big house has central heating)
Part of the grass is grazed by a friendly horse, that is being looked after by the neighbors.
When you need only 3 bedrooms (sleep 1-5 persons) you can book the main building and no one will use the Casinha at the same time. When you need 4 rooms (sleep 7 persons) you can rent them together.

Kate Loves Her Men with Long Hair
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Kate and Chris took a walk in NYC with their long-haired son Ryder. We never really understood why they had never cut Ryder's hair. We just assumed it was either a rocker thing (like daddy) or a hippy thing but it was neither. Kate actually explained it when she was on The View last week,She said:
"I'm part-Jewish, Hasidic Jews - they don't cut their kids hair until they're three. "I'm not very religious, but it's actually kind of beautiful, they compare the men to a tree and trees don't bear fruit for three years. "So I just figured maybe on his third birthday I'll cut it. I'm going to cry my eyes out!"

Well, at least there's some explanation for it, although I think it's dumb when people pick and choose which parts of their religion to follow. But whatever, at least she has a semi-decent reason. I can't believe how many of you like it. I'm not a fan of long hair on boys. Oh, and I'm not sure if her real dad is Jewish, too, but according to Adam Sandler, "Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half, too."

ha. true. ava is a bit plain. ryder has very feminine features. the hair doesn't help/

I don't agree EP, Ryder is a prettier girl than Ava can ever hope to be, LOL.

ann, different like a girl. put a dress on him and he'd be a younger version of Ava Phillipe

That little boy needs a haircut

I think it's cute because he's different - I just want to hug that kid :) I understand your point mle, I always wanted a pink bicycle with purple glitters like other girls and I never had it!

ryder doesn't look so cute kidden behind all that hair. pooor little thing probably has gender issues, too. haha--not really, but it seems like a kid would want to look like all the other little boys. ah, well...
kidcrazy2 8 years
I understand. You're taking the Skye view of things. I like Skye's posts because she always says nice things about everyone. Kate and Chris seem happy together so what can you say really? He's not my cup of tea, but that's why he's with Kate Hudson.
ann_fancy 8 years
aaaaw how cute:) -However how old is he? if he's 2... he's going to have hair down his butt at three
caligirl1201 8 years
Kidcrazy, I was using the addage that if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. This is why I don't comment on Kate's husband or the Duff sisters, LOL.
kidcrazy2 8 years
Cali...lol no comment on Chris?! Oh, come on! Her husband actually scares me. If I saw that coming towards me at night in bed I'd probably have a coronary.
caligirl1201 8 years
I love Kate's look too, but Ryder needs a haircut badly. Before I read this caption I was thinking Kate had a girl, I thought she had a son. Ryder's very cute, but even in boy clothes he looks like a girl. I have no comment on her husband.

I totally love Kate Hudson's look, and I love that her husband looks as bad as he can and doesn't give a poop. As long as Kate sticks to her word and gives Ryder a haircut when he's 3 then no harm's done. It's when he goes to school and is around other kids with that hair that the problems will begin.

i think he is cute. i do hate calling little boys girls though. i get so embarassed sometimes, but if a boy has long hair and is wearing something like yellow or purple or pink, yes i saw pink on a long haired little boy and called him a her and was hollered at by the mom. its not my fault i couldnt tell the difference.

I want to know where she shops, because I love her style ... I love the relaxed hippy/bohemian look. Maybe Urban Outfitters? Her son is cute, but the hair is a bit long. I love her so I won't say one bad thing-

I do find the young Beckham boys (Romeo and Cruz) look great with long hair. Ryder's hair looks too fine to pull it off.

When I was young I always got mistaken for a boy because I had short hair - oh the trauma! It's funny though because my brother had long hair and he always got called a girl! So my mom finally cut it. My hair took yeeeears to grow into something girly.

Frank Show (Hardcover)
This hilarious, offbeat picture book from the creator of "Marshall Armstrong Is New to Our School" reveals that there is more to the older generation than meets the eye. Grandpa Frank doesn't have any interesting hobbies, unless you count complaining about how "everything" was better in the old days. He doesn't speak Italian like Paolo's mom, or play the drums like Tom's uncle. He's just a grandpa. So when the young narrator of this story is forced to bring Frank to school for show-and-tell, he's sure it's going to be a disaster. But Frank has a trick--make that a tattoo--up his sleeve And a story to go with it. After all, the longer you've been around, the more time you've had for wild adventures.

A dominant view in East Asia today is that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is setting terms for India's long-term engagement with key regional powers.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's civil nuclear diplomacy towards the United States, and now 'pacifist' Japan, is viewed in East Asia as a new message to the region about India's posture as a "rising power."
Politically more visible, though, is a bunch of economic pacts that is beginning to fill India's pocket. Dr. Singh's economic diplomacy was, therefore, in prime focus, as he held talks in Tokyo on October 25, beginning a visit to Japan, Malaysia, and Vietnam.
East Asian leaders have often traced India's Look East policy to the diplomatic realism of former Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao at a time of national crisis in the 1990s. Against this background, a dominant view in East Asia today is that Dr. Singh is setting the terms for India's long-term engagement with key regional powers. Inevitably, such diplomacy will extend beyond the economic realm. India's strategic calculations are easily discernible too.
Some officials in the region privately comment on how India has, in recent months, stayed the course of difficult trade negotiations with remarkable resoluteness. Obviously, it is not for the East Asian officials to worry about the economic fall-out these agreements might produce for the people in India, especially as seen by its various political parties.
In Japan, the political mood towards India is remarkably friendly on the economic front. A Japan-India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA/EPA) was finalised by the negotiators on both sides in time for celebration during this visit.
It took them nearly four years to firm up Tokyo's first-ever pact with a big economy. India is behind only Japan and China in Asia in terms of their macro-level gross domestic products and related indices. No less significantly, Tokyo does not have an economic pact with either its long-standing ally, the U.S., or with an immediate neighbour like the ascendant China.
In this big picture, there is considerable macro-level asymmetry between India as a developing economy and Japan as a developed country. But Tokyo has viewed its negotiations with India as a unique exercise, without worrying about striking a model agreement between a developed country and a developing economy. The secret of success, despite delays during the Japan-India talks, is said to be economic realism driven by political will. The automotive industry in the two countries and their respective services sectors required sensitive attention during the talks.
According to a Japanese negotiator, Takeshi Matsunaga, the EPA provides for "a high level of liberalisation" of tariff by both sides and places them on "an equal footing." Also built into the agreement is India's preferred principle of free "movement of natural persons." Not amounting to migration, this will mean a free flow of professional talent in the services sector. This will benefit both countries, with India gaining an acceptance of this principle in the first place. Investment and several other aspects of a full-fledged economic pact are also covered.
The CEPA/EPA does reflect the new-found "importance of India to Japan" in the emerging world of several rising powers and a stagnant superpower. This formula about India's "importance" was first cited by a top Japanese official in June this year, when he informed The Hindu of Tokyo's decision to begin civil nuclear talks with New Delhi. Two rounds of talks have been held so far.
The negotiators face the challenging task of harmonising a pacifist principle with a pragmatic policy. New Delhi holds its voluntary moratorium on nuclear-weapon tests as inviolable pragmatic policy.
At the other end, Japan, as an "internationalist" and a "pacifist," might have to "suspend" or even "stop" its civil nuclear cooperation with India, if New Delhi were to test an atomic bomb once again. America's nuclear umbrellas for its allies, including Japan, are in a different category altogether. In all, however, a Japanese official, Hidenobu Sobashima, told this correspondent in Singapore a few days ago that the Japan-India civil nuclear talks "will continue." It is, therefore, possible that Japan will not risk writing off the new "importance" of India in a hurry, especially as long as the current fluidity in global affairs persists.
In Malaysia
If the Japan-India engagement is now dictated by high stakes, New Delhi's ties with Malaysia, too, are entering a qualitatively significant phase. India and Malaysia have firmed up a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA). According to a top Malaysian official, Rebecca Fatima Sta Maria, the two countries would, during Dr. Singh's visit to Kuala Lumpur at this time, announce that the legally-binding text of CECA would be signed by the end of January next year. The CECA might then come into force from July next year.
As a measure of economic pragmatism, India and Malaysia negotiated the CECA in less than one year, truly a feat of fast-track parleys. The two sides are also keen to have a genuine strategic partnership. However, the world-view of Malaysia, which belongs to the Organisation of Islamic Conference, may not always be in sync with India's on all issues. At another level, the Hindu Rights Action Force (HINDRAF)-Makkal Sakthi, which seeks to espouse the cause of Malaysian-Indian minority, wants Dr. Singh to raise issues relating to its welfare in his talks with his counterpart, Najib Tun Razak.
As a banned organisation, HINDRAF has added the Tamil label of "Makkal Sakthi," meaning "people power" which is in vogue in this region, in a bid to stay within the ambit of law. On a related front, Mr. Najib has signalled goodwill towards Malaysian-Indians by promising, most recently, government's contribution to the education foundation set up by the Telugu Association of Malaysia.
In Vietnam
In Hanoi, Dr. Singh will have to switch from the nuances of bilateral diplomacy to the compulsions of multilateralism during India's annual summit with the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). India's Free Trade Agreement with ASEAN is already in force, providing a relative new framework for the summit.
At the annual East Asia Summit (EAS), Dr. Singh will be sitting with, among others, the leaders of South Korea and Singapore, with which India already has comprehensive economic pacts. But the EAS, which includes China, is a strategic forum, and this aspect will get heightened with the likely admission of the U.S. and Russia into this organisation. Issues of acute sensitivity to all major powers will then arise, especially in the ASEAN Defence Ministers' Meeting-Plus (ADMM+) forum, which might be co-opted by an expanding EAS as its security wing.
There are already indications that the issues might range from the long-term U.S. role in the region to the perceived flashpoints in the South China Sea or East China Sea or even Kashmir.

Boat Insurance for a $6k cash boat? (first time buyer)

USAA insurance
When we had our 22 foot Chrysler, I called USAA about insurance. They told me that it was already covered under my current homeowners policy so we didn't have any extra out-of-pocket. Now we own a 33'er and we have liability insurance on her. Our marina requires a minimum of $100k liability. We got $300k just because there are alot of big expensive boats in our marina and I feel it is better safe than sorry. Our first year premium was $133. We just renewed for our third year and it was $197. Since all of our insurance is through USAA, we called them but they don't handle that type of insurance directly. They put us in contact with Drive Insurance. Except for them being a little lax in their billing policies (they seem to forget to send out renewal notices), we have been happy.
