Hi everybody. Just a couple of clarifying details on -cluster- vs. -xtreg- and Anirban's response to John. The -cluster- option for -regress- doesn't really impose a particular within-cluster correlation structure on the data. If I understand it correctly, what -cluster- does instead is loosen the usual assumption of independence of observations to independence of clusters. The correlation between observations within clusters can be arbitrary. The way this works is basically by treating all the observations in a cluster as a kind of "super-observation" and then applying the robust ("sandwich") formula to these super-observations in order to calculate the standard errors of the coefficients produced by - regress-. See the manual entry for -regress-, p. 87. The estimated coefficients (the betas) produced by -regress- are the same whether or not the -cluster- option is used; the only thing that is different is the standard errors. With fixed effects, you _do_ impose a particular correlation structure, namely all the observations within a cluster share U(k) in Anirban's notation. If you use -xtreg- with -fe- to estimate, Stata does not, however, use a first-difference estimator - it uses a fixed effects estimator. In other words, it doesn't first-difference to get rid of the fixed effects, it uses the mean-deviation transformation to get rid of them. Hope this helps. --Mark Quoting anirban basu <firstname.lastname@example.com>: > Hi John, > > > With reg command and cluster option, one basically imposes an > exchangeable > correlation structure on the data. i.e assume corr (y(i), > y(j)) = rho, > where i ne j and i,j are any two observation from the same > cluster.

CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
Hello to all.
To those that already have their CRD's, are you able to refuel using the Hi-Flow bowsers or do you have to stick to the standard diesel bowsers?
Re: CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
The standard bowser
Re: CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
damn! at least its only 93 litres not 180.....
Re: CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
I can refuel my KJ Cherokee CRD with the high flow bowser - its a tight fit though and the bowser handle needs some orientation to avoid the flow from cutting out immediately.
I hope I can do the same with my GJC CRD that's on order
I like the diesel bowsers which still have the hands free pin in the handle - the petrol pumps had them still about 20 years ago but I think that all pumps had needed the pins removed under new regulations - probably safety I guess
Re: CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
Reason I ask is that our local BP has both so that would give more options when the fuel station is busy at peak times.
Re: CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
Depends there are two High flow pumps.
One designed for trucks only have a large outlet will not fit the jeeps.
The other most metro servos have will just fit if held at the correct angle.
I got caught a few years ago in Meekatharra only had super high flow diesel.
Had to use a funnel and fill very slowly made a big mess.
I Also certify fuel pumps!
Re: CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
to fill a 93lt tank with a normal bowser seems fine to me. I'm used to fill a 180lt tank, I used to jam the cap in the bowser trigger and go off and clean windows or clear the crap the kids would accumulate in the back, with the jeep it takes no where near that time and I'm in / out of the servo in no time.
By the way the CRD is averaging 9.3 / 100 - which is exactly half what the V6 petrol Prado gave. Fantastic value!
Re: CRD Hi-Flow Diesel Bowsers
Good thing diesel has anti foaming agents in it now.
Still foams a little.

U.K.'s Hunting Falls Most in 14 Months on 'Cautious' Outlook
Hunting Plc (HTG), a U.K. oil-services provider, fell the most in 14 months in London trading after saying it's "cautious" about the short-term outlook.
The company dropped 6 percent, the biggest decline since Oct. 4, 2011, to 757.5 pence by the close in the city. "The short term outlook is increasingly cautious due to the economic climate seen in a number of our operating regions," Chief Executive Officer Dennis Proctor said today.
Hunting is seeing a switch away from natural gas and toward liquid fuel drilling, the company said today in a statement.
Schlumberger Ltd., the world's largest oilfield-services provider, said last week it expected earnings per share to drop in the fourth quarter because of contractual delays and lower- than-expected activity in North America.
The number of U.S. oil and gas rigs declined to the lowest level since April 2011 as price drops prompted energy producers to curb drilling, according to data posted on Baker Hughes Inc.'s website. Oil rigs slid last quarter for the first time since 2009 as more efficient drilling operations and a drop in crude prices curbed companies' demand for equipment.
Hunting is seeking to boost its presence in the North Sea as activity recovers from historic lows, the London-based company said. It also resolved a tax dispute in Canada on the sale of Gibson Energy in 2008, bringing in 25 million pounds in cash. Net debt was about 205 million pounds at end-November.
The short-term caution for North America "will lift as we exit the winter period," Investec Plc said today in a note, retaining its recommendation that investors buy the stock.

First car (grew up in NYC where you don't need one), first oil change... first mistake. I placed the crush washer ON THE OIL FILTER!!
It seemed to fit the subaru filter perfectly and looked like it would line up with the rubber gasket when it was flattened. Also, I didn't see the crush washer on the oil drain plug (I read that it may be painted on, but I'm 90% sure there wasn't one). Apparently no one on this forum has had this problem (or hasn't admitted it yet). Anyway, besides possible leaking from the pan since there may not be a washer there, what problems will I run into with the crush washer in place where the oil filter screws in? Will it interfere with filtering the oil? My guess is no but I'd like some reassurance.
If you haven't guessed I'm new.
On a side note, everything else went fine, the original filter came off easily, and I only slightly burned myself. I also got one of those infamous tiny metal particles in my eye. It came loose on my way to the ER. I think I searched every post here regarding oil and oil filters. I didn't think I could screw up things with the washer.
Also, I didn't come across any warning about eye protection. I highly recommend it. So, should I change my oil again (I think I would have to drain it to get that washer off the filter), or just keep an eye on my check oil light and my oil level? Sorry for the long post.

Excellent 4.4 /5 from 7 reviews
The apartment was perfect for us as a couple, or could accommodate 4 quite easily with the foldout sofa bed. It was spacious & comfortable & felt like a home from home with TV, good wifi & books for you to read. The owner Carlos, speaks good English & was really helpful during our stay. The property is really well looked after & cleaned regularly & the pool is well maintained with a BBQ area available for use by the guests. It is in a quiet location in between Albufeira & Armacao de Pera, but has a couple of the best restaurants in the Albufeira region right next door & a local supermarket that has everything you need at good prices. The beach is about 20 minutes walk away, but is one of the best beaches along that stretch of coastline, (& much better than the beach in Albufeira itself). If you want to travel in to Albufeira or elsewhere, then without a car you need to rely on taxis, as the buses aren't frequent (or that reliable, we found). However a taxi into town is only about €8 - €10 for the 6-7km ride. Overall though, we had a great time here & would happily recommend it to anyone.
These apartments were excellent. Out of season but the sun was shining. Never more than three apartments occupied during our stay so can't comment what it might be like during the school holidays. Adequate shopping in the neighbourhood but a car was useful.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

GM Logo May Turn GreenBy Michelle Krebs July 9, 2009
The "new" General Motors that emerges from bankruptcy by the end of this week may well usher in the event with a new logo -- one that is green instead of blue.
People briefed on its plans told the Associated Press that the company is looking into changing the background color of its corporate logo from blue to green in an effort to show consumers that it is leaner and greener, more focused on fuel-efficiency and better able to make quick decisions.
The wire service reported that Ed Welburn, GM's vice president of design, is leading a group that is studying name and logo changes, but no recommendation has been made yet.
"A group that is studying name and logo changes" says a lot about the Company's decision making process.
You folks in the RenCen first have to realize what it is you're working for. You are working for an American institution that started from a handshake by David Buick, Ransom E. Olds and William Durant and went on to become the first company in the world to make one billion dollars.
And for generations was the largest business of any kind. Scores of competitors came and went as you dominated the market with a 51% share at one point.
Times have been good and times have been terrible before; for General Motors and the country.
However, we didn't come up with a new flag and different name after a trying time. Instead we rallied around our Stars and Stripes and sought ways to become greater.
Keep the silver GM characters on a square blue field and change the perception by persevering in your product focus.
More tinkering around the edges, GM. You know you've got to get serious about transforming the company. Even Lutz knows this. Your survival depends on it. See http://www.cargurus.com/blog/2010/01/13/why-is-the-auto-industry-so-frantic-to-go-green. A logo change will not convince anybody.

The arrest of a Nashville homeless man, caught videotaping kids at a downtown high school, has led to child porn charges against an assistant principal at a South Carolina middle school.
Several concerned viewers contacted Channel 4 News last month, worried because they said a man would stand outside Hume-Fogg Academic High School on Broadway and record teen girls. Then, the videos would appear on YouTube under titles like 'Teen cutie leaving school,' 'Teens at bus stop' and 'Teens leaving school.'
"It's horrifying," said Tina Melendy, parent of a Hume-Fogg student.
The videos are no longer posted online, and the user's YouTube account has been terminated for what the website calls severe violations.
"I have a hard time understanding why," Melendy said. "This seems like base-level behavior that could turn into a much bigger issue. I just want to know why he was filming teens and find out what's the purpose."
Metro police began investigating and said the man did not break any laws in recording the girls outside the school or posting them online, but during the investigation, detectives discovered something else that now has him in custody.
Earl Arnold Jr. is charged with two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor.
Police said Arnold voluntarily consented to a search of his cell phone while officers investigated the claims he recorded video of girls at Hume-Fogg.
While searching his phone, police found pornographic nude images of a child under the age of 10, according to Metro police spokesman Don Aaron.
Arnold remains jailed on $75,000 bond.
Now, the investigation has led charges against Darin Pearson, an assistant principal at Sullivan Middle School in Rock Hill, SC.
Police said Pearson, 32, faces five counts of sexual exploitation of a child.
Pearson, a former teacher at the South Carolina school, was named "Teacher of the Year" in 2007, according to WBTV, and has served as an assistant principal at Sullivan since July 2007.
The Rock Hill school district told Channel 4 News he has been placed on administrative leave as the police investigation continues.

I don't think these types of marketing will go away anytime soon. It's like the delicious bait that feeds on a hungry crowd of audience who themselves feel underappreciated in life. It's more like psychology and the brands who can understand their fans win.
Dec 23 Posted 3 years ago
My thoughts exactly, Merlin. I think some marketers feel the need to do something during events like these because they think that people will all be aware and sensitive towards it, and they can use this to their advantage. However, as you mentioned, these shouldn't be opportunities to advertise, but to connect with audiences.
I think it's important, in times like these, to not think about jumping on the opportunity to promote something, but to empathise with your audience and be tactful.
Dec 22 Posted 3 years ago
Yup. It's not a bad thing if companies decide to not tweet or post etc. in solidarity with something. But it's an interesting phenomenon of social that people look at it so differently than other media.
Dec 22 Posted 3 years ago
I managed a B2B account during the Boston Marathon bombings. We typically tweeted once or twice an hour about inbound marketing, social media, content marketing, etc. Shortly after the news broke, I tweeted that we would be suspending all tweets until the crisis was resolved. We did until it was, and the initial tweet generated a lot of positive response. I'm not saying that's what everyone should have done / should do, but that's what I did.
Dec 20 Posted 3 years ago
Danny makes a good point: "Brands can't win - "Be more human", "Don't be so human", "You're being too human!"."
I totally agree that brands should absolutely not try to capitalize on tragedies and their related anniversaries.
But sometimes it seems there's a fine, or even invisible minefield. I remember on the day of the Boston marathon bombing, reading my #cmgr column in TweetDeck and how furiously everyone was judging brands that were still tweeting. They weren't tweeting about the bombing or about Boston... just their normal tweets... about *life* and business and etc.
I'll never forget one commenter said "Any community manager who hasn't deleted all their scheduled posts should be taken out and shot! Turn off all tweets IMMEDIATELY!"
Really? I noticed there were still TV shows and TV and radio commercials airing during the day of the bombing. I assume no one wanted television schedulers to be taken out and shot.
Yes, the bombing was a horrible tragedy but seriously? The entire world has to stop? People still went to work. People still went to the store. People still went to movies. People still watched TV. People still went on dates and got on planes to travel etc. etc. etc. You have to shut down your whole business because of an individual event?
Why is it that so many people on social media feel they have to connect themselves so deeply with everything?
Dec 20 Posted 3 years ago
This is actually a very interesting topic. Usually, we hear that these would be good times because we get more activity thus opportunity for more business. I like your spin, point of view, and voice on the matter!
Dec 20 Posted 3 years ago
It's still people behind brands, and a corporate culture can go a long way to defining what customer base you get. Brands can't win - "Be more human", "Don't be so human", "You're being too human!". Plus ca change...

How funny is it that in the blog recap email, the blog post right above this one is, "10 Perfectly Crafted Facebook Status Updates for the Holiday Season"?
The Spaghetti-Os tweet is awful, and I totally agree that usually in cases of emergency or disaster, silence is better than a comment. But like you said, if there is a connection - it can be appropriate.
With major holidays, most brands will come across as clueless if they don't at least acknowledge the day.
Dec 19 Posted 3 years ago
Great post and excellent thoughts, Ryan. I was actually working on a piece about this myself when your article came up. It's unclear exactly was is driving these bad brand behaviors, but my suspicion is that it's routed in the habits of traditional marketing. As you mention, marketers are trying to stay on top of the latest trending topic despite its relevance to the business or the context to the consumer. All for the sake of driving "health metrics" (likes, comments, shares), or clawing for sales, which is blatently abusing their audience in what are often emotional moments.
These are not opportunites to advertise, rather, opportunites to connect with audiences (if applicable). There have been enough examples of the above that apolgies for this type of behavior will no logner suffice. 2013 is nearly over, and brand marketers need to get their act together.
Dec 18 Posted 3 years ago
This is a really good point, brands have no place in announcing their thoughts on breaking news or tragedies. I think it would actually be better for them if someone well known on their team relayed the message, that way at least it is coming from a person. Although I have to agree that commenting on relevant anniversaries is a much better idea.
Dec 18 Posted 3 years ago
I agree with you, Jason. Social media is too often used as a soapbox for brands to tout their wares or as another form of an eblast or billboard. This type of posting doesn't create any sort of relationship with the customers and makes brands look more or less like robots. Social media is--wait for it--inherently social.
Facebook has been tweaking its algorithm to help [albeit somewhat forcefully by punishing poor content] steer brands away from marketing messages as content to content that is relevant and meaningful to consumers.
Dec 18 Posted 3 years ago
The practice I'd like to see obliterated is the use of marketing messages as content.
At the beginning of the marketing meeting in which the messages will be thought up, the marketer's only goal is that the potential customer will have a positive feeling about the product or brand. After the meeting, the team has in its possession marketing messages 1, 2 and 3 that argue for why the product/brand is good. So what happens next? The goal of every piece of media becomes a quest to communicate marketing messages 1, 2 and 3 instead of understanding what kind of content potential customers would like.

Discussion in 'Wheels & Tires' started by lancer, Aug 19, 2009.
fit under a 2" leveling kit and 3" body lift?
what size tires are on that now? Depending on whats on it now, and by the looks of its current stance it looks like the max with a leveling kit and 3 inch body would be 34s trimming (how much trimming depending on the width) and 33's with no trim except of maybe the front valance
I'm going to say no. I had a 6" suspension kit, and they still rubbed...I'm quite sure 35s would be a poor choice for the application you are going for; 33s, a perfect choice.
it has a 265/70/17 on it now. i was kinda figuring a 35 wouldn't fit with a suspension kit. my funds just got cut in half so i'm looking at ways to still get height and run a 35. guess i'll have to start looking at 33's :frown:
Well the tires on it are bigger than I thought. 265/70/17 is almost a 32 inch tire. With the body lift and level you should definately clear 34 inch tires. If you do try 35's you will probably have alot of rubbing and a lot of trimming to do, At least up front
mportanI think the rule of thumb is if u want 35" tires u need a 6" lift. The offset of the rims is also very important in determining if a wheel and tire will fit or not. I think 33s will work well for u just make sure the rim doesn't have alot of negative offset.
if u plan on sticking with your stock rims they will fit.
I have 33's on my 2002 silverado, they're hardly any smaller then 35's. You only lose one inch of rubber around the rim.
Hey man just found this thread when I was lookin around on the site where Jimbo74 had an 01 and fit 35's with only a leveling kit and 3 inch body lift.
Heres the Link:
my stock rims have 5.25 backspacing (finally measured the other day) i'm looking to go atleast a 35 cuz my factory tires are a 31 and don't wanna spend alot of money for 2". i'll have to keep looking. most lift say they need a minumum bs of 4.5" so i think if i understand right i'll be ok with the stock wheels :happy:

102 fry
1 Attachment(s)
Oh I so had to share. My dalmation Molly had 102 fry last night. One Hundred and Two!!!!! :icon_eek:
Hopefully they don't look like Glenn Close ... congrats!
Oh my God! I have 2 pregnant Mollies in my tank, now I am worried!
What will you do with them all?
102 fry
A single Molly? My last batch from "Pongo" and "Perdita" was 14... Sheesh
i have had guppies that had huge drops like that before. how did you count all of them with them moving? lol hope you got a huge grow out tank and man that could be alot of store credit lol
Good job on counting them! I re-counted my 19 about 5 times to get it right haha
I had to take a digital photo and count the photo.
It wasn't too bad, because they didn't move much to start with.
Hmm, going to need a new tank. I really need to separate girls and boys.
I have no idea if the store will take these. They are all the same colour. The last batch were much more interesting colours.
Note to self: Dalmation + Black Molly = pretty boring babies.
Sunrise + Silver = huge colour variations
I had better get on this. What if she does it again?
Oh and I found more that didn't make it and some in the plants. New total 109. And I didn't have her in a breeding tank, so I have no idea how many they ate or got sucked in the filter.
Not the most profitable experience, but a great learning one.
Next....beautiful guppies I think.
And I am still planning my Beautiful Planted Tank. Maybe I could have the boys in the Beautiful tank.
This is becoming an expensive hobby.:bounce:
The two dalmations I have are mostly black with occasional gold and white specks. Their offspring to date have all been mostly-white with black specks... maybe they darken up with age?
Nice that's a lot of babies.

Have you ever been to a student beauty salon? If not, you should definitely consider it, especially if you're looking to save a few bucks during the recession. Student salons have become increasingly popular during this time and you're definitely in good hands, despite what you may think.
In fact, student salons have experienced supervisors on hand to watch over and answer any questions students may have. And though it may take a bit of extra time, it's totally worth it. You wouldn't want someone rushing through a beauty service you're paying for no matter how skilled they are.
Another advantage of a student salon is the great specials they have throughout different times of the year. For different services that suit you best, you may find great deals from students who really care about what they are doing. And you'll be helping them out by giving them the opportunity to have more experience.
I recently talked to some individuals from Empire Beauty Schools and you can certainly see the increases occurring in the beauty industry throughout this recessionary period. For an interesting inside look into the beauty industry, click over to Recession Boosts Biz for Beauty Schools.

NEW RELEASE: "To France" (Big Rick EP, 2012)Thursday, November 8th, 2012
I am currently playing bass for the Wellington rock band Big Rick, and having a blast doing it (that's us above, with me in the funny hat). The band also includes the wonderful Heleyni Pratly on guitar and vocals, Joel Cosgrove on guitar and vocals, and Helen O'Rourke on drums. My time in the band ends in December, when the new bass player Rohan takes over (an exciting addition). At that time I will resume production duties (Heleyni jokingly refers to me as their Brian Eno – although Jim O'Rourke and Bob Rock are also apt comparisons, though I am unsure which I prefer). For now you can check out their first EP 'Big Rick To France' on Bandcamp (which I did not play on, but did help engineer and mix). I especially recommend the first song Boogie Dance, which is an absolute gem (and if that doesn't satisfy your appetite, they have some demos online as well).
Big Rick are also playing a lot of shows in the next two months so keep your eyes and ears open. The EP release gig is happening on Dec. 1st at the Newtown Bowls Club in Wellington, and we're playing in Auckland, Dunedin and possibly Christchurch too, later in December (as well as various parties and some other surprise appearances). Find out more by checking out their Facebook Page.

255/75/R17 Fit on 95' Wrangler w/o Lift?
Howdy all! Quick question, I just recently replaced my rims and tires and so now I am left to sell the stock. I have a 09 JK. The rims are 17X7.5, and the tires are 255/75/R17 and measure 32.1 in diameter. I have a guy that is interested in purchasing the rims and tires and he owns a 95' Wrangler. Will these fit without a lift on his vehicle?
Thanks for the help!
Doubt it.
no..wrong lug pattern....
Wrong lug pattern- the YJ is 5X4.5, your JK is 5X5. Also, without a lift, you're very likely to rub with a 32" tire- Mark W.

1. Place the flour in a bowl and add the butter and salt. Hold a table knife in each hand and cut the butter in, moving hands in opposite directions, to cut the butter in to the size of peas.
2. Add the water, and mix till the dough comes together. If all the dough is not absorbed, add a bit more water. Cover and rest the dough for a while.
3. Flour a board, and roll the dough out 1/8th inch thick. Prick it with a fork to prevent blistering, and bake it on a cookie tin at 425 F for about 15 minutes till lightly browned.
Note: This recipe has a little more butter than usual as it is meant for pot pies.

This is a discussion on The Walking Dead within the Off Topic & Humor Discussion forums, part of the The Back Porch category; If they all carry the virus then why haven't they built up antibodies against it? Seems that they should be immune by now....
If they all carry the virus then why haven't they built up antibodies against it? Seems that they should be immune by now.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain
Once again, Shane was not bit before he turned and he turned within a few minutes. And the kid they held captive was not bit either and turned quickly.
I guess I missed all of the medical talk of solanum.
If you are reading the comics pleased DO NOT spoil the story line to come.
While I have read the comics this isnt necessarily from (or not from.) the comics so much as general Romero zombie fact.
Its not "death" that triggers the turn its the lack of resistance by the body. A healthy body can fight the illness to a standstill without beating it but a dead body cant do anything.
There is a theory that someone with a compromised immune system would turn without being bitten or dying from another cause. Just a theory, one I happen to believe.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain
Solanum - Zombie Wiki - Zombies, Undead, Survival Guide
Its not exactly how the walking dead authors make zombies work but its a general zombie fiction word that we (Geeks.) tend to use a lot.
darbo, you aren't paying very close attention... Everyone who is bit dies very soon after, period. As has been pointed out, it doesn't matter that they are already "infected," the bite - and ensuing transfer of bodily fluids - kills you in and of itself. Once you are dead (either from the bite, or from any other cause), you re-animate as a Z.
That said, the little bitty cut from glass that had touched water (or whatever it was) that held a Z head NOT turning Michonne/the Guv is a pretty minor point, when you consider the following:
1) Michonne, with a gaping, open bullet wound in her leg, was DRENCHED in zombie guts. A ton of bodily fluids would have gotten into that huge, open wound.
2) Many characters, but Rick especially when he was on his "Lori revenge killing spree," have had their faces literally covered in zombie gore. The eyes, nose, and mouth are all permeable membranes, and diseases get in through them all the time. It makes no sense that a bite can do it, but having the blood pour into your mouth cannot.
3) Who is mowing the lawn at the prison (and everywhere else, for that matter).
4) Why did Glen rip out the bones of the zombie to use as weapons, instead of the smashed up chair that he used to kill the zombie in the first place? (As an addendum, if these zombie limbs are so weak that they can simply be pulled off by a relatively small guy, they wouldn't be strong enough to support the zombies in the first place. As another addendum, why are the zombie's skulls made out of crepe paper? Seriously, the most dangerous weapon in TWD universe would be a dull pencil...)
5) HOW DID THAT ZOMBIE EAT LORI'S SKULL, FEMURS, AND PELVIS?!?! HOW DID 130lbs (I looked it up) OF LORI FIT INTO THE BELLY OF A 180lb "MAN?" WHY DID THIS ZOMBIE DECIDE TO DRAG HIS MEAL INTO A BACK CORNER TO EAT IT? BETTER AMBIANCE? (Ok, I'm a little worked up over that one, but it's just sooooooooooo stupid.)
And Edward, I recognize your zombie bona fides, but quit mixing media. They aren't Romero z's, they aren't World War Z z's, they are TWD z's. Just as there are 100,000,000 different vampires, there are equally as many zombies. It isn't the difference between TWD zombies and other zombies that bothers me, it is the internal inconsistencies (and outright defiance of physics) that bothers me....

A man fires a rifle for many years, and he goes to war. And afterward he turns the rifle in at the armory, and he believes he's finished with the rifle. But no matter what else he might do with his hands - love a woman, build a house, change his son's diaper - his hands remember the rifle.

Jewish Playmates, Jewish Gospel and a Jewish President
Big Brother Rabin: From her home on Kibbutz Manara in the Galilee, Yitzhak Rabin's sister, Rachel, recalls in Haaretz the siblings' Tel Aviv upbringing, the children of a "tempestuous revolutionary" mother, during the 1920s and 1930s.
Ask the Experts: Nishmat, an organization that certifies female advisors on Jewish law, or yo'atzot halacha, recently lifted the 10-year restriction that had been placed on those certifications. The growth in the number of women undergoing fertility treatments and hormone therapies has increased the demand for female advisors, the Jerusalem Post reports.
'Breaking Free': j. the Jewish news weekly of Northern California has a cover story on Jewish women recovering from domestic violence — and the Bay Area nonprofit using "Jewish healing rituals" to help these move on with their lives after abuse.
Paging Dr. Christina Yang: In an interview with Jewschool, Olivia Cohen-Cutler, an ABC television exec and the chairwoman of the Morningstar Commission — formed 12 years ago to counteract stereotypical portrayals of Jewish women in the media — discusses the increasingly diverse roles for Jewish women on TV.
On Second Thought: Jewish women continue to be cast in role of exotic outsider. Tablet has a piece about the Fox television hit "Glee," in which the character of Rachel (actress Lea Michele, above) is a token Jew whose "ethnic looks clash nicely with the blond midwesterness of the 'Cheerios,' the cheerleaders who serve as her ostensible rivals."
But Jewish Directors 'Heart Shiksas': And the television and film roles that Jewish women are getting too infrequently come from Jewish male directors, Liel Leibovitz argues in this piece. The Los Angeles Times responds here and here.
Jewish Playmates: Over at Jewcy, Jessica Pauline explores why more Jewish women don't pose for Playboy.
Amen to That: 614 magazine introduces us to Sharon Alexander — a pioneer of Jewish gospel, or "Jospel.
Tsnius: Will new Jewess Ivanka Trump's choice of a wedding dress with sleeves inspire a bridal trend? New York Times' style guru Cathy Horyn thinks so.
Before Ada: Scientist Mildred Cohn, who forged ahead in the fields of biochemistry and biophysics, despite widespread gender and religious discrimination in the middle of the 20th century, died this week at age 96. Read her obituary in the Washington Post.
Wasserman Schultz for President?: The year 2016 marks the 100th anniversary of the election of Jeannette Rankin — Congress' first female representative — and if Huffington Post blogger has his way, it will also mark the election of Debbie Wasserman Schultz (a proud Jewess!) as the first female president or vice president.

Wahlberg Brothers Opening New Burger Joint In Boston
Mark and Donnie Wahlberg- along with their brother, chef Paul Wahlberg- have proudly announced the opening of their new restaurant, Wahlburgers. The Boston area burger establishment will have a home at the Hingham Shipyard right next to the brothers' Italian restaurant, Alma Nova, which is named after their mother. Next year, the brothers will open a pizzeria which has yet to be named but I'm hoping that it will be as clever as Wahlburgers.
PHOTOS: Mark Wahlberg Looking Spiffy While Golfing With The Aussies
Now that the 'Entourage' producer has more family time, it's great that he's getting together with his brothers and expanding the Wahlberg enterprise. Soon Mark will have to head back into the studio to film the movie version of his hit show, so I bet it's nice to be working on other things before his schedule gets wicked hectic again! Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea, were recently seen taking their son Brendan to the mall in West Hollywood, CA. Such a super cute family!

Cleveland's Green-Thinking Entrepreneurs
The entrepreneurs of Cleveland are hoping that next time you think of their city, you'll think "green" (rather than thinking of, say, the Cuyahoga River on fire). At the forefront of Cleveland's green thinking is a nonprofit called Entrepreneurs for Sustainability (E4S), which educates and trains business owners on practices that will help them make their companies more sustainable. The group was founded in 2000 by Holly Harlan, a former industrial engineer for John Deere, and three entrepreneurs: Pete Acorti, Brian Schneiderman, and Grant Marquit.
Harlan, now the president of E4S, got the idea for the group after a stint at the Rocky Mountain institute, where she studied capitalism and its environmental impact. The first meeting of E4S drew 25 business owners, but today the group boasts over 7,000 individual members, and its monthly meetings, where business owners gather to hear a guest speaker discuss a sustainable business practice, often draw about 150 people. Ultimately, the goal of E4S is not only to help companies become more environmentally conscious but also to help them save money.
Companies of all sizes are welcome, but the focus remains on entrepreneurs. "We started out with just entrepreneurs, but we attracted everyone. All are leaders interested in putting sustainability to work," says Harlan. In a July 2008 survey, 70% of E4S members said their company had a waste reduction goal; 60% had energy efficiency goals; and 30% intended to reduce their carbon levels.
Using the Waste Stream
Several creative, environmentally conscious startups have sprung from E4S. Mike Dungan, an E4S board member, and Mike Thomas, who had been a waste-stream consultant, were particularly influenced by an August 2007 meeting at which consultant Janine Benyus spoke about the benefits of biomimicry, or the practice of studying patterns in nature and applying them to everyday problems. Dungan and Thomas were particularly taken with the habits of honeybees, who find resources (in their case, nectar) in faraway places and transmit that knowledge back to others that can help harvest it. In 2009, Thomas and Dungan founded BeeDance to try to model that information sharing and local collaboration in a for-profit company. Their first project, called Zero Landfill, collects carpet samples from architectural firms and gives them to elementary schools and animal shelters, where they can be reused.
A Piece of Cleveland (APOC), founded in 2008 by Chris Kious, Aaron Gogolin and P.J. Doran, also credits E4S for its formation. The company dismantles abandoned houses slated for demolition. APOC, which generally brings in about $10,000 per contract and employs between 8 and 20 people part-time, uses reclaimed materials from the houses to make furniture. "We're looking to dip our hands into the waste stream and put [materials] back into the community," says Kious, who previously worked in community development and says E4S has helped him to meet other business owners. Last year APOC constructed countertops and tables from reclaimed wood for a local Starbucks.
E4S will showcase eight local startups this month. The startups will present their goals and talk to local business owners about how to best reach them. The city itself is also getting on the green train. This August, Mayor Frank G. Jackson will host a three-day summit to outline how Cleveland will meet its goal of becoming sustainable by 2019, a step in the direction of becoming what the mayor is promoting as a "green city on a blue lake."

Bleak House HTML version
A Chancery judge once had the kindness to inform me, as one of a company of some
hundred and fifty men and women not labouring under any suspicions of lunacy, that
the Court of Chancery, though the shining subject of much popular prejudice (at which
point I thought the judge's eye had a cast in my direction), was almost immaculate.
There had been, he admitted, a trivial blemish or so in its rate of progress, but this was
exaggerated and had been entirely owing to the "parsimony of the public," which guilty
public, it appeared, had been until lately bent in the most determined manner on by no
means enlarging the number of Chancery judges appointed--I believe by Richard the
Second, but any other king will do as well.
This seemed to me too profound a joke to be inserted in the body of this book or I
should have restored it to Conversation Kenge or to Mr. Vholes, with one or other of
whom I think it must have originated. In such mouths I might have coupled it with an apt
quotation from one of Shakespeare's sonnets:
"My nature is subdued
To what it works in, like the dyer's hand:
Pity me, then, and wish I were renewed!"
But as it is wholesome that the parsimonious public should know what has been doing,
and still is doing, in this connexion, I mention here that everything set forth in these
pages concerning the Court of Chancery is substantially true, and within the truth. The
case of Gridley is in no essential altered from one of actual occurrence, made public by
a disinterested person who was professionally acquainted with the whole of the
monstrous wrong from beginning to end. At the present moment (August, 1853) there is
a suit before the court which was commenced nearly twenty years ago, in which from
thirty to forty counsel have been known to appear at one time, in which costs have been
incurred to the amount of seventy thousand pounds, which is a friendly suit, and which
is (I am assured) no nearer to its termination now than when it was begun. There is
another well-known suit in Chancery, not yet decided, which was commenced before
the close of the last century and in which more than double the amount of seventy
thousand pounds has been swallowed up in costs. If I wanted other authorities for
Jarndyce and Jarndyce, I could rain them on these pages, to the shame of--a
parsimonious public.
There is only one other point on which I offer a word of remark. The possibility of what is
called spontaneous combustion has been denied since the death of Mr. Krook; and my
good friend Mr. Lewes (quite mistaken, as he soon found, in supposing the thing to
have been abandoned by all authorities) published some ingenious letters to me at the
time when that event was chronicled, arguing that spontaneous combustion could not
possibly be. I have no need to observe that I do not wilfully or negligently mislead my
readers and that before I wrote that description I took pains to investigate the subject.

Thomas,MSG,On Ropes As Trial Nears End
NEW YORK- In less than two weeks, the NY Knicks will host Media Day at their Greenburgh facility. This year's event will have two elements to it. It is a chance to welcome Zach Randolph, among other new acquisitions, into the mix; it is also an opportunity to welcome back Isiah Thomas as the coach.
While the [figurative] jury is still out on Randolph, a player who makes headlines just as frequently off the court as he does on, a [literal] jury is set to determine Thomas' fate inside the Daniel Patrick Moynihan Courthouse in lower Manhattan.
The sexual harassment lawsuit, filed in 2006 by Anucha Browne Sanders, a former Senior Vice President of Marketing at Madison Square Garden, is finally nearing its conclusion after five exhausting, and profanity-laced, sessions.
Thomas, who would much rather be discussing X's and O's than sit for six hours per day listening to testimony and watching videotaped depositions, has lived through the worst of what was offered.
The fact that Thomas created such tension with his alleged variations of F-bombs and racially-lined comments has not helped matters.
Earlier, on the fourth jury-day, certain facts were slowly becoming evident.
The greatest of these admissions was that Steve Mills, the President of Madison Square Garden, had ample opportunity to prevent a trial. He did not inquire about Stephon Marbury's earlier comments, when the point guard - and face of the organizationcalled Browne Sanders a 'bitch'. Then, by virtue of further procrastination, Mills did not intervene when Browne Sanders asked him to speak with Thomas on her behalf.
Perhaps, his involvement would have rectified what is deemed to be a 'hostile work environment,' for female employees. But, even if a proactive approach couldn't resolve the underlying issue, and a trial was the only choice, it surely would've looked more favorable in the eyes of the jury and various court observers.
In the end, any resolution will be a tainted one. A win will sully to what is left of MSG's good name, merely because of what was revealed; a loss will further hurt them in the wallet.
Mills' videotaped testimony, which was played on Tuesday morning, has crippled MSG's case because it illustrated a lack of sensitivity.
And, while he does not appear to be a malicious gentleman, one of his primary responsibilities is to oversee lower levels of management.
Instead, he just turned a blind eye, in the hope that Browne Sanders' complaints would be neatly swept under the carpet.
The week had begun with a solemn moment, which was a 180-degree turn from the previous Monday. Then, it was just about jury selection, and a four-page questionnaire, which required 34 responses.
But, during the first break, Judge Lynch - together with both sides- met with Juror No. 2, whose name and hometown was previously published, as Thomas and Mills privately huddled. There was no laughter, no hint of a smile, from either man.
Scrimmage was over, and the game faces were on.
And, as Browne Sanders faced a barrage of questions throughout the day, their disposition remained even.
Specifically, Ronald Green - MSG's lead chair- had grilled her about personal income tax returns that were filed between 2001-04; the government was led to believe that Browne Sanders had her own marketing company. Rather, as no such company existed, she knowingly created false deductions - and, because of it, she reaped nearly $70,000 in credits and deductions over the four-year period. Browne Sanders, who was responsible for putting MSG's budget in place, fidgeted when Green repeatedly asked her to locate the exact line on the Schedule C which illustrated those blatant lies.
On and on it went - until the final hour of the day when Thomas' videotaped deposition was played. Then, suddenly, revelations of Browne Sanders' taxes were lost.
Thomas, an impeccably dressed man, did not wear a tie with his suit jacket, and that may have been the first hint of things to come. He was incredibly relaxed and, as such, did not mince his words.
"A white man calling a black female 'bitch', that is wrong with me," he said defiantly. "I am not accepting that. That's a problem for me."
But, when Thomas was asked if he'd have a problem with a black man calling a black woman by the same name, he deadpanned, "Not as much."

Quadrant Private Equity is set to preside over its third initial public offering in less than a year after investors pumped $285 million into its media monitoring business,
The strong show of support means the company will have a market capitalisation of $410 million when it debuts on the stock exchange on June 5 and underscores the depth of appetite for the resurgent IPO market.
Yet financiers and fund managers are quick to point out the demand is not indiscriminate, emphasising a string of abandoned listings earlier in the year.
Ausbil Dexia founder Paul Xiradis said fund managers remain quite selective.
"Really it depends on the quality and prospects of each business," he said. But the motives of vendors are scrutinised.
In keeping with the prevailing trend among private equity owners, Quadrant will retain a 25 per cent stake in iSentia, although in the pre-crisis era such a move was unusual and typically unwelcome.
The fallout from the disastrous floats of
Unlike its rivals, Quadrant has enjoyed a blemish-free run at the boards, with the float of its IVF business
The cash call for iSentia on Friday indicates its third listing is on track for an equally successful debut.
Joint lead advisers Macquarie and UBS have fully underwritten the IPO, which has been priced at $2.04 per share. That values the company at 15 times its 2015 projected profits.
Quadrant snapped up the media intelligence business, formerly known as Media Monitors in 2010, and have ushered it through a growth phase, including the recent acquisition of AAP's Media Monitors, which provides media alert, distribution and analysis services throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Management will retain a 15 per cent stake in iSentia.

Natural convection in a triangular enclosure due to non-uniform cooling on top
Saha, Suvash C. & Gu, YuanTong (2011) Natural convection in a triangular enclosure due to non-uniform cooling on top. In 10th Engineering Mathematics and Applications Conference, 4th - 7th December 2011, University of Technology, Sydney, Sydney, N.S.W.. (Unpublished)
Natural convection in a triangular enclosure subject to non-uniformly cooling at the inclined surfaces and uniformly heating at the base is investigated numerically. The numerical simulations of the unsteady flows over a range of Rayleigh numbers and aspect ratios are carried out using Finite Volume Method. Since the upper surface is cooled and the bottom surface is heated, the air flow in the enclosure is potentially unstable to Rayleigh Benard instability. It is revealed that the transient flow development in the enclosure can be classified into three distinct stages; an early stage, a transitional stage and a steady stage. It is also found that the flow inside the enclosure strongly depends on the governing parameters, Rayleigh number and aspect ratio. The asymmetric behaviour of the flow about the geometric centre line is discussed in detailed. The heat transfer through the roof and the ceiling as a form of Nusselt number is also reported in this study.

I bought my 2012 WRX in January of 2012.
I soon picked up some Rally Armor Mudflaps and had a local place do 30% tint all around.
I wasn't big on the chrome headlights, so I decided to open them up and paint them. It was a little bit of a process, but well worth it in the end. I also plastidipped the chrome window trim and installed an Accessport, my rear flaps and some slim window visors.
As far as future plans go; I have a Kartboy Short Shifter, and bushings, waiting to be installed. I'm also going to be saving up for suspension. Most likely going to go with the GTWorx/Bilstein kit. Can't wait to continue modding!
I'll try to get some better pictures soon.

What is the main tension in Prospero and Ariel's relationship in Act I, Scene 2 of The Tempest and how does Shakespeare create this tension?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The primary tension between Prospero and Ariel comes from the power dynamic between them, and between Ariel's desire for freedom. That is to say, Ariel wants to be free, but is bound to serve Prospero, and does not believe he'll keep his promises and release her (it?) from service.
As far as a quotation regarding this, look at the speech including the statement "Remember I have done thee worthy service" (and the lines before and after).

David Cameron stumbled into a race row today after saying Tottenham Hotspur fans who use the word "Yid" in chants should not be prosecuted.
The Prime Minister said Spurs fans who call themselves the "Yid army" and players "Yiddos" were not using the term as an offence.
His comments come amid controversy over the term's use amongst Jewish groups who have insisted it is always offensive and encourages anti-Semitism.
Mr Cameron's statement also contradicts guidance issued by the Football Association last week which said fans chanting the word on the terrace could be liable to criminal charges.
Speaking to the Jewish Chronicle the Prime Minister said: "You have to think of the [intent].
"There's a difference between Spurs fans self-describing themselves as Yids and someone calling someone a Yid as an insult.
"You have to be motivated by hate. Hate speech should be prosecuted — but only when it's motivated by hate."
In guidance it issued last week the FA said the word was likely to be considered as "offensive by the reasonable observer" and that its use was inappropriate at football matches.
It went on: "Use of the term in a public setting could amount to a criminal offence, and leave those fans liable to prosecution and potentially a lengthy football banning order."
The Board of Deputies which represents British Jews has also said it fully backs the FA's stance.
A post on its website read: "By Tottenham fans using the Y-word, they are legitimising references to Jews in football when, frankly, religion, ethnicity or colour should have no place in sport.
"Even if they are using the term endearingly, it still has no place in a football stadium. And by using it they encourage other fans to respond, often in highly unpleasant ways."
The Board added: "Would we be having this debate, if a club chanted the N-word or P-word repeatedly during matches?"
The Community Security Trust, which works to fight anti-Semitism, has also said it backs the FA's statement as has the anti-racism in sport group Kick It Out.

As they watch their loved ones slip away, nearly 40 per cent of family members taking care of a person with dementia are suffering from signs of distress like depression, rage and an inability to cope. With stress on family members growing as symptoms progress, at what point is right to move your loved one into long-term care facility?
The Globe held a discussion on this issue with Linda Jackson, lead social worker at Baycrest who organizes caretaking support groups, and Donna Macdiarmid, who recently put her husband, Roger, in a home despite being "a woman in love."
A transcript of that discussion follows:
The Globe and Mail: Welcome to the discussion everyone. Joining us are our guests, Linda Jackson and Donna Macdiarmid. Linda is the lead social worker at Baycrest, a Toronto health-care facility that specializes in care of the elderly. Donna recently had to put her husband, Roger, in a home.
Donna Macdiarmid: Hello, it's Donna from New Brunswick
Linda Jackson: I am also very pleased to join the discussion. The comments to date are so very reflective of the issues facing caregivers.
André Picard: This is André Picard from The Globe and Mail. Thank you Donna for joining us and thank you for sharing your story. And thanks to Linda for being here too.
The Globe and Mail: Let's launch right into some reader comments. Here are a few now.
BobBob: I don't suppose there is such a thing as 'the right time' to put someone into care so I'd like to look at the situation from the point of view of the caregiver who has had one heart attack and visits a chiropractor on a regular basis to maintain a bad back. If I succumb, there's no option but for my wife to go into an institution since our only child lives in another province and we do not expect her to give up her home and career to look after her mother.
Linda Jackson: Comments from Bob refleact the reality of many caregivers who are worried about their loved ones and must also care for them selves.
stephenstephen: My Mother in Law has reached the point where 50% of the time she is unmanageable with mania and 50% of the time she is the old "Mom" albeit subdued. If she was 100% unmanageable the decision for care would be easier. Instead they are left with all this guilt about the "good times" when she need not be in care but is. Thoughts?
Donna Macdiarmid: I know it is a difficult thing to do, but long term care is not something to be afraid of. Roger and I still have a beautiful relationship and are together every day.
Linda Jackson: After working with caregivers for many years I have come to the conclusion that there are not a lot of easy answers. Caregivers often struggle with their desire to follow the wishes of their loved ones, while also recognizing that this may not always be possible or feasible. Having a good network of supports is essential
André Picard: In the reaction to our stories, there is a lot of fear expressed about what awaits people in the future - especially having to make the decision to place a loved one in an institution for care. But the people like Donna who are living the situation seem much more positive. How should people prepare for their caregiving duties.
Donna Macdiarmid: Stephen - guilt is a waste of time. I was there but now am past it. There will still be lots of good times, even in the long term care facility.
Linda Jackson: I believe that caregivers have times when they may feel great guilt and depair and other times when they feel very staisfied with their role. Caregivers need to be supported in having these mixed emotions.
The Globe and Mail: Donna: is there any specific advice you could give to Stephen about overcoming his feelings of guilt?
Linda Jackson: One way to offset the guilt and despair may be to connect with others in similiar situations and also to engage friends and families as much as possible in supporting you in your role. Did you have this kind of support Donna?Report Typo/Error

Where I stayed
Star Old Quarter Hotel
Hanoi Rendezvous Hotel
Overnight Bus to Laos
Basically spent a day on the train reading, staring out the window, watching a video and processeding photos. While the plug in the cabin I was in didnt work I was lucky enough to find one out near the wash basin so I could use the laptop most of the day.
Also lucky we had one stop where I could buy some food from the platform. As always the train had hot water and I managed to score some noodle bowls at a reasonable price to have for dinner.
For the most part travelled along the coast or past rice paddies on the trip. At one point we did though travel through some mountains (assuming marble) and it seemed like a nice place to hike.
Not the most exciting way to spend my birthday but I really did want to sort my passport and visa out as soon as possible
Unfortunately the lost passport changed all that and with the high turnaround times getting things done and 2 letters lost in the post ended up being in vietnam 5 weeks longer than expected. Also in some ways I did less than I might have in 4 weeks since over 4 weeks of that time was spent in Hanoi waiting on things.
Day 1 - Picking up my passport and Applying for my Visa
Arrived at 6am in Hanoi and since the place I normally stayed at didnt have a free bed I tried my second option. Unfortunately it was closed (and looked under renovation) so since it was to early to find a bed just sat outside waiting for the time to pass. Seems the place next door to my second option was also a hotel and at $8 a room it would be hard to find something cheaper. Room was a bit musty and the bed a bit hard but would do for a couple of nights.
Still to early to collect my passport so killed a couple of hours in the room. Headed out for a Pho Bo breakfast and the went to the embassy where I got my brand new passport. From here headed to immigration but just missed out on getting a queueing ticket so had a couple of hours to kill walking the streets until the place would be open again.
Upon getting back found that I had a extra 30min wait since the guy at the counter decided to show up late
Original plan was to do northern Vietnam, Loas, the rest of Vietnam then onto Cambodia. Will now have to look at either flying into Cambodia or getting a new visa for vietnam. Guess it will all depend on cost.
Given my passport was processed 5 days earlier than expected was also wandering if I would be stuck waiting for the new credit card I had ordered. Given the one I have doesnt have a pin it would be nice to get the new one before I go. Basically means I would be stuck waiting around or would need the hotel to forward it for me. Thankfully had some good news in relation to these matters and found that the card had already arrived in Hanoi.
All thats left for me to be free and clear is to get my passport back with my new visa in it.
Didnt do much else that afternoon but since it was Tuesday decided to head out and do another one of the wing Chun Classes I had done earlier. Given Im back in hanoi early I have way to much money on me. Had taken out lots since I couldnt use my existing card at a bank without a passport and didnt want to run out of cash.
Hopefully can exchange it for US$ at not to bad a rate somewhere in town else I go on a shopping spree
Day 2 – Not much Yoga
Did very little today. Processed some photos, read some online managa and wandered around the streets around lunch and dinner time. Very quite day mostly on the laptop or repacking. Also finally booked the Gibbon Experience which I had originally planned to do on my birthday. A month late but oh well, better late than never.
One thing I found I did need to do though was change some cash. Had originally budgeted for two weeks (waiting for passport) without access to an ATM and so had way to much cash. Changing it was harder than expected. Unlike Ho Chi Minh City which had money changers that had boards showing their rates outside the shop no such places existed in Hanoi. Tried one exchange place (tour agent) but was told that he only bought and didnt sell US dollars.
When I asked about buying though he did point me to a place where I could buy some US cash
Since I had been doing nothing all day and wasnt to sore from the previous days training I decided to spend some excess (vietnamese) cash and do another yoga class. Enjoyed the class once again with the focus of this class being standing strength and hip openers.
Day 3 – Temple of Liturature
Once again decided to do something today with the only thing really left for me to visit in Hanoi (besides more museums) being the Temple of Literature. Before heading out though I did ask about buying US Dollars and was pointed to the same same street but with a decent description of the store. Ie near start of street, has cabinet, sells gold.
Headed out but at first walked past it. Definately nothing to distinguish it as a place that changes cash. Luckily had an idea where the store was on teh street and with the description headed back towards it
Caught a bike to the temple of liturature which I wandered around for an hour or so. Interesting and peaceful enough chinese (onfusish) temple. Also found it to have lots of local in traditional dress or suites. Given the age would guess that at least some of them were out on a school excursion.
Walked back to the old quarter with a stop at a cafe to watch the streets for a bit and use the laptop. Continued on through an interesting street market before visiting a cheap restuarant I had found weeks ago for a cheap and good lunch.
Pretty much didnt do anything for the rest of day besides looking into flights and starting to think about what I wanted and had time to do in the last part this trip. With over a month gone will have to cut something even if I push it to the max and dont come home til February.
Day 4 – Passport Pickup
Woke up and definately was feeling less sore this time round after doing some training compared to how I felt after doing the wing chun a couple of weeks ago
Wandered downstairs for breakfast and to kill some time before heading out to pick my passport up, with the new visa. Was just hoping at this point nothing unexpected was going to happen (due to old one being business visa). Thankfully all good and managed to get my passport back with no problems. Yah. Travel documents finally in a state where I can get out of the country.
From the immigration office caught a moto back to the old quarter where I grabbed lunch and went to spend some money. In Indonesia one of my shoes had split and since I have been wearing thongs hadnt worried to much about it. Found an outdoor shop near the hostel so decided to get rid of some excess money by buying a new pair. Even after that still had to much cash so went to change a little bit more and just kept enough to get my by or the rest of the day.
Killed the rest of the day in the hostel waiting for my ride to the sleeper bus that would take me to Laos. Had an uncomfortable ride standing in an overloaded mini bus to the sleeper bus which was the same type as I had had coming back from Sapa. Was in the back at first (where seats not as comfortable) but at least I didnt have anyone sitting next to me for most of the night.

The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the Government generally respects this right in practice.
There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and government policy continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion.
The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom.
The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights.
Section I. Religious Demography
The country is composed of nine island groups with a total land area of approximately 10 square miles and its population is 10,838. The Church of Tuvalu, which has historic ties to Congregational and other churches in Samoa, has the largest number of followers. There are no specific or official figures on religious membership; however, but Tuvaluan officials and others estimate membership as follows: Church of Tuvalu, 91 percent; Seventh-Day Adventists, 3 percent; Baha'i, 3 percent; Jehovah's Witness, 2 percent; and Catholic, 1 percent. There are also smaller numbers of Muslims, Baptists, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons), and a few atheists.
All nine island groups have traditional chiefs who are members of the Church of Tuvalu. Most followers of other religions or denominations are found in Funafuti, the capital. An exception to this is the relatively large proportion of followers of the Baha'i Faith on Nanumea island.
There are a number of active Christian missionary organizations representing some of the same religious faiths practiced in the country.
Section II. Status of Religious Freedom
Legal/Policy Framework
The Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the government generally respects this right in practice. There is no state religion, and the Constitution provides for separation of church and state. However, in practice government functions at the national and island council levels, such as the opening of Parliament and other official and ceremonial events, often include Christian prayers, clergy, or perspectives.
Missionaries practice without specific restrictions.
Restrictions on Religious Freedom
Government policy and practice contributed to the generally unrestricted practice of religion.
During the period covered by this report, the country's radio station was sold to a private owner who charges all churches for radio broadcasting time except for daily morning devotion. The Church of Tuvalu, the largest and most popular church, continues to conduct the morning devotion program.
There were no reports of religious prisoners or detainees.
Forced Religious Conversion
There were no reports of forced religious conversion, including of minor U.S. citizens who had been abducted or illegally removed from the United States, or of the Government's refusal to allow such citizens to be returned to the United States.
Section III. Societal Attitudes
Interfaith relations generally are amicable, but reportedly there is a degree of social intolerance for non-Church of Tuvalu activities, particularly on some outer islands. Members of the Church of Tuvalu dominate most aspects of social and political life in Tuvalu, given that they comprise over 90 percent of the population.
There are no ecumenical movements.
Section IV. U.S. Government Policy
The U.S. Government does not maintain a resident Embassy in Tuvalu; the U.S. Ambassador in Suva, Fiji is also accredited to the Government in Funafuti. Representatives of the U.S. Embassy in Fiji visit periodically to discuss religious freedom issues with the Government in the overall context of the promotion of human rights. Embassy officials also meet with representatives of the religious communities and nongovernmental organizations that have an interest in religious freedom. The U.S. Embassy actively supports efforts to improve and expand governmental and societal awareness of and protection for human rights, including the right to freedom of religion.
