President Donald Trump's approval rating reached 50% for the first time since late April, according to a poll released by Rasmussen on Friday, June 16.
A new poll found that more than two-thirds of the American electorate disapproves of how President Donald Trump is handling his job as president.
The poll also found that 65% of responds feel that Trump has "little or no respect for the country's democratic institutions and traditions". That's slightly higher than the 33 percent who disapproved in February's UT/TT Poll, but he continues to get more positive than negative reviews.
Beneath the 43 approval to 51 percent disapproval rating – in which 25 percent of Texans polled said they strongly approve of Trump's tenure and 44 percent said they strongly disapprove – there is some important good news for Trump: Republicans remain overwhelmingly in his corner. Trump's support among Democrats and independents has always been pretty dismal-but now things are growing worse among his own party and the demographic groups that largely thrust him into the White House. Two in five Texas voters – predominantly Democrats – believe Russian Federation influenced the 2016 election and in a way that benefitted Trump.
A new poll shows more than half of Americans believe a climate full of political anger is what led a gunman to open fire on Republican congressmen as they practiced for a charity baseball event this week.
The other source of potential weakening support for Trump, which stretches back to the presidential campaign, are his personal qualities.
Almost as many Americans, 64 percent, disapprove of Trump's climate change policies. "This hyper-partisanship and the increasingly tribal nature of politics, where Republicans look at a Republican president and see no flaws and Democrats look at a Republican president and can only see flaws".
Americans are more divided over Trump's handling of the threat of terrorism, with 47 per cent saying they approve and 52 per cent that they disapprove.
The AP-NORC poll of 1,068 adults was conducted June 8-11 using a sample drawn from NORC's probability-based AmeriSpeak panel, which is created to be representative of the USA population.
The University of Texas/Texas Tribune internet survey of 1,200 registered voters was conducted from June 2 to June 11 and has an overall margin of error of +/- 2.83 percentage points.

Branning family
|Branning/Jackson family
|EastEnders family
|Created by
|Tony McHale
|Introduced by
|Leonard Lewis
|First appearance
|Episode 917
16 November 1993
The Branning family are a fictional, extended family in the BBC soap opera EastEnders. Introduced in 1993 were the Jackson family, consisting of Carol Jackson (Lindsey Coulson), her partner (later husband) Alan Jackson (Howard Antony), and Carol's four children, Bianca Jackson (Patsy Palmer), Sonia Jackson (Natalie Cassidy), Robbie Jackson (Dean Gaffney), and Billie Jackson (Devon Anderson). Billie is the only child fathered by Alan, while Bianca is the daughter of David Wicks (Michael French), Sonia's father is Terry Cant and Robbie's is Gary Bolton. The family becomes a more dominating presence in the early 2000s, when Carol's father Jim Branning (John Bardon) moves to Walford following the death of his wife Reenie to cancer. Since then, all six of Jim's children have appeared, many of them with family.
As of April 2017, the remaining Brannings consist of Jack Branning (Scott Maslen), Max Branning (Jake Wood), his daughters Abi Branning (Lorna Fitzgerald) and Lauren Branning (Jacqueline Jossa as well as Lauren's son, Louie Beale, and Jim's second wife, Dot Branning (June Brown). Branning family members such as Sonia, Sonia's daughter Bex Fowler (Jasmine Armfield), Bianca's adoptive daughter Whitney Carter (Shona McGarty) and Bradley's widow Stacey Fowler (Lacey Turner) remain in the series but are currently considered part of other families. Max's former mother-in-law, Cora Cross (Ann Mitchell) is also considered a part of the family unit, although not a Branning by blood or marriage.
The family has been central to some of EastEnders most notable storylines since their re-development in 2006. These include Max's spurned wife Tanya Branning (Jo Joyner) burying him alive, before digging him back up again out of guilt; the death of Max's son Bradley Branning (Charlie Clements) by falling from the roof of Albert Square's pub The Queen Victoria; Jim suffering a stroke and Dot's subsequent struggle to care for him; and the news that Reenie has passed the BRCA2 cancer gene down through the family, resulting in Carol suffering from breast cancer in 2014 and Sonia also having the gene.

In the episode broadcast on 6 April 2010, Carol describes her great-grandfather, James William Branning, who was born on 12 December 1876. At the age of nineteen, James conceived a child and married his pregnant partner on 2 January 1897. Two months later he joined his fellow soldiers of the Royal West Surrey regiment to complete a tour of Afghanistan. Whilst on tour he died of fatal wounds, aged twenty. His early death meant he never saw his son, who went on to have two children, one of whom is Jim.[1]
Jim's son Max became a young father and married the mother of his child, Rachel. Rachel gave birth to Bradley but Max's affair with a woman called Tanya Cross resulted in the end of his marriage to Rachel and he walked out on both of them when Bradley was still very young and never had any contact with Bradley until 2006. In 1994, Max and Tanya had a daughter, Lauren, and they married later that year, two years later having another daughter, Abi.
Carol Jackson arrived on Albert Square in 1993 with her children Bianca, Robbie, Sonia, Billie and her boyfriend Alan Jackson. Alan was the father of her youngest child Billie, and Carol and her three other children had taken his surname, as he was a father and husband figure to them all. When April's fiancé, Nikos, jilted her at the altar in 1996, Carol and Alan married in their place. Carol's four children had four different fathers. David Wicks was the father of Bianca, who arrived to live in Albert Square in the same year as the Jacksons, Bianca not knowing he was her father. A man called Terry Cant was Sonia's father, who she did not know and never met, and Gary Bolton was Robbie's father, who lived with Carol, Bianca and Robbie as Carol's boyfriend but later left them after he got another woman pregnant with his second son Kevin.
Bianca started a relationship with Ricky Butcher. Bianca's immature behaviour led Ricky to begin an affair with Bianca's best friend Natalie Price. When the affair was revealed, the relationship ended and she started to see a new potential love interest in David Wicks but was devastated when he was revealed to be her father after a teenage fling with Carol in 1976. Despite her initial upset, Bianca built a paternal bond with David. This led her back into the arms of Ricky and they got engaged in 1995. The two married in 1997 and Bianca fell pregnant with Ricky's child who they intended to call Natasha. However, after a test it was discovered that the unborn baby was suffering from spina bifida and Ricky and Bianca made the heartbreaking decision to abort it. Bianca fell pregnant again and gave birth to baby Liam in The Queen Vic.
April got engaged to a Greek man called Nikos whom she met in Greece after she worked and lived there. The wedding was supposed to take place in April 1996 but Nikos jilted April at the altar. After April started a relationship with Michael Rose, Nikos returned to Walford and tried to win April back. He asked her to marry him again and they eventually left Walford and managed to marry him at the second attempt. It has since been revealed that April still lives in Greece with him.
Alan eventually grew tired of life with Carol and started an affair with singer Frankie Pierre but when it came out he and Carol separated. Carol then tried to make a go of things with her old flame David, Bianca's father. This soon ended and she and Alan reunited but they split up yet again when Alan suffered a nervous breakdown. Carol then became engaged to Dan Sullivan and became pregnant with his child but after he and Bianca started an affair, Carol had the baby aborted and called off the engagement. This led to the end of Bianca's marriage to Ricky and she left for Manchester with Liam and Ricky stayed in Walford. Carol then moved away and reunited yet again with Alan and is now living with him, their son Billie, and Alan's grandmother Blossom Jackson.
When Reenie died, Jim came to live in Walford to look after Sonia and Robbie after Carol left. Jim started a slow burning romance with Dot Cotton and he revealed to Dot he and Reenie never really loved each other and spent their entire married lives arguing. After much chasing, Dot finally agreed to marry Jim, and the two lived together in 25 Albert Square which they still own.
In 2000 Sonia had underage sex with Martin Fowler and she gave birth to baby Chloe in her living room, not knowing she was pregnant. Sonia decided to put the child up for adoption despite opposition from Martin's mother Pauline.
Robbie and Sonia tracked down Gary (Robbie's father) in Portsmouth in 2001, and he later arrived in Walford to speak to Robbie and gave him a cheque for £10,000. He used this money to take a tour of India and pay for Sonia's nursing course. When he returned he started a relationship with widow Nita Mistry. When she decided to return to India so her parents could help her bring up Anish, as she was struggling, Robbie decided to leave with her.
When Martin ran over and killed Sonia's fiancé Jamie Mitchell, Sonia surprisingly started a relationship with him and they eventually married. When Sonia discovered that Chloe's adoptive parents Neil and Sue Miller were both killed in a car crash she tracked down her daughter, now called Rebecca, and made visits to her at adoptive grandmother Margaret Wilson's house. When Sonia revealed her true identity to Margaret she threw her out, and Martin and Sonia agreed to not visit again. When Pauline discovered their secret however, she started making her own visits to Rebecca and even tried to win custody of her at one point, but Sonia convinced her that Rebecca was best off with her adoptive grandmother. Sonia left Martin when she started a lesbian relationship with Naomi Julien, much to Jim's fury. Martin and Sonia later tried to get guardianship of Rebecca in case anything happened to Margaret, but after learning of Sonia's new relationship, Margaret gave Martin sole custody. Margaret later died and Rebecca went to live with the Fowlers, but Pauline's meddling ways stopped Sonia building any sort of relationship with her daughter. Sonia's relationship with Naomi stopped and she eventually got back together with Martin behind Pauline's back. When Pauline died on Christmas Day, Sonia became a suspect in her murder but when the killer was revealed to be Joe Macer, Sonia, Martin and Rebecca left Walford together to tour the United States and live with Michelle Fowler.
Bradley moved to Walford from Tring in 2006 to live with Jim and Dot, after he got a job in London. Max moved his family to Walford later that year, wanting to build a relationship with Bradley again, which he did despite his rivalry with his father Jim. In December of that year, Max started an affair with his son's ex-girlfriend Stacey Slater, who later became his daughter-in-law.
In 2007, Jack Branning moved to Albert Square and began a relationship with Ronnie Mitchell. In 2008, he had a fling with his girlfriend Ronnie Mitchell's sister Roxy she became pregnant and later gave birth to a premature baby girl telling everybody that the father was her husband Sean Slater. But on Christmas Day 2008 it was all revealed as Jack's sister Suzy Branning put the DNA results into Sean's Christmas cracker after being paid by Ronnie and Roxy's father Archie, revealing to the Mitchell family that Sean wasn't the dad. Roxy then admitted that Jack was, in fact, the dad. In 2008 Bianca returns to Walford with her family and is followed soon after by Ricky.
Carol, Sonia, Robbie and Billie returned in February 2010 for Bianca's second wedding to Ricky. The show's executive producer, Diederick Santer, described the wedding as "the perfect opportunity" to bring the characters back to the show. He told entertainment website Digital Spy: "By the middle of February, the Branning-Jacksons become the biggest family on the Square. They're huge. Billie's an interesting character. He's a troubled soul, torn between being a good son to his mother and trying to have an exciting London life. And when your mother's Carol Jackson, that's quite a feat. I'm so pleased we have Lindsey Coulson back, too — she's such a fabulous actress."[2]
On 18 February 2010, Bradley and Stacey got remarried, at the same time that Bianca and Ricky got remarried. On their wedding night, as Bradley was running from the police, he fled up a fire escape; subsequently along rooftops. When on the roof of the Queen Vic, he shouted at Stacey to run, before falling to his death. He was later posthumously blamed for murdering Archie Mitchell.
Carol and Billie later moved in with Max in order to support him through his grief, however Billie's gang crime past was catching up with him. his friend Kylie tried to shoot him in R&R, however, it was his uncle Jack that took the shot, which was in the head. This left Jack paralysed down the left side of his body.
In 2009 while Ronnie and Jack weren't together Jack was seeing Sam Mitchell at the same time Ricky Butcher was. She was arrested for her part in dens murder a few years ago and when Peggy visited her in prison she found out she was pregnant and Sam was sure Ricky was the dad until it was revealed by a DNA test that Jack was, in fact, the dad to baby Ricky Mitchell.
In October 2010 Billie Jackson died the night after his birthday due to excessive consumption of alcohol. This led Carol to self-destructive grief where she turned to Connor Stanley and began a relationship whilst he was seeing her adoptive granddaughter, Whitney. This caused Bianca to attack Connor, which led to her imprisonment.
Jack marries a pregnant Ronnie Mitchell in November 2010. In December, Ronnie gives birth to a boy whom she calls James. However, James dies of sudden infant death syndrome and in a panic Ronnie switches her dead child with that of Kat Moon. When she returns it she is arrested and sentenced to three years imprisonment. She divorces from Jack during her imprisonment, but on her release they briefly reunite before he departs in Autumn 2013 while she stays in Walford.
On 24 November 2011, Derek Branning is reintroduced, now as a regular character played by Jamie Foreman. He is an ex-convict on parole, returned to be with his family. He is portrayed as violent, causing fights with Phil Mitchell and Tanya Cross, as well as tormenting Michael Moon and Pat Evans before she dies. He sets out to ruin David's rekindled relationship with Carol when he returns for Pat's death. In 2012, Derek is reunited with his two children Alice and Joey. Joey hates Derek because of Derek's treatment towards his mother, who treat used to hit and the fact he left Joey when he was just 7 and when Alice was a baby, having no contact with them at all. Joey punches Derek refusing to have anything to do with him. However, Joey begins a relationship with his cousin Lauren in secret. When Derek and Tanya find out, he blackmails Tanya to keep quiet. Derek dies of a heart attack on Christmas Day, leaving Alice and Joey grief-stricken.
Lauren develops alcoholism as a result of Max and Tanya's turbulent relationship, which becomes more severe when her parents separate as Max's secret wife Kirsty (Kierston Wareing) reveals herself and moves to Walford. She eventually suffers kidney failure and leaves Walford with Tanya and Oscar to receive treatment and counselling for her addiction in Exeter, but returns several months later alone. Despite reconciling his relationship with Kirsty several times, Max ultimately ends the relationship and she leaves Walford.
In 2013, Carol discovers she has breast cancer, and discovers she has the BRCA2 gene, inherited from her mother Reenie, meaning the whole family could have the gene and a high chance of breast cancer in the future. She encourages her brother Max and daughters Sonia and Bianca to get tested, while undergoing chemotherapy herself. She becomes engaged to her old flame David Wicks (Michael French). On the wedding day though things don't go to plan and David ends up suffering a heart attack whilst looking for a gift for Carol. Carol is humiliated, thinking she's been jilted, but when she discovers the truth her anger doesn't subside and they have a heated argument. The next day they have a serious talk and decide to end things, with David leaving the square for good. The family briefly suffer financial difficulties without David looking out for them, but bailiffs are paid of Dot's grandson, Charlie Cotton (Declan Bennett), in return for Carol keeping quiet that Dot's son and Charlie's father Nick Cotton (John Altman) is still alive. Carol undergoes a double mastectomy in late July 2014.
In 2014 the Brannings find themselves highly involved in the murder of Lucy Beale. Before her death Lauren and Lucy had set up a business together and Max and Lucy ended up starting a secret relationship. Lucy ended it after becoming involved with Lee Carter, much to the dismay of love rival Whitney and Max who becomes violent towards Lucy. Max starts getting threatening emails from an anonymous person who knows about the relationship and confronts Lucy about it, but she knows nothing. Max aggressively confronts Lucy one night after she questions his parenting skills. Lucy later becomes increasingly guilty after finding out that the reason Whitney has been glaring at her the whole night is due to her finding out about her and Lee. She becomes very emotional whilst going to attend a party with Lauren, but Lauren is quick to dismiss this. Lucy then goes off to meet a business client, but is found dead the next day. When Max and Lucy's affair is exposed, Lauren and Abi briefly move out, but return home when their anger subsides. Abi is also revealed to be Max's anonymous emailer.
Family business[edit]
Unlike the Mitchells and the Beales and Fowlers, the Brannings do not have a business empire. However, they had a lot of influence in Walford's business industry. Jack Branning co-owns R&R with Ronnie Mitchell from 2007 to 2009 and is an investor of the car lot in 2009. Tanya Branning owns Booty from 2006 to 2013. Whitney Dean, Bianca's daughter, runs a T-shirt stall, following in Bianca's footsteps, as Bianca had run a clothes stall for much of the 1990s, which she does again in 2013. In 2010, Max and Bradley start their own business, Branning and Son, and rent the car lot as premises. In 2011, Jack sells his 60% share of R&R and goes into business with Max at the car lot which they renamed Branning Brothers. Jack later co-owns the boxing gym, Basher Branning's, with Michael Moon, but sells his share to Janine Butcher in 2013 to work back at the car lot. Jack leaves the square in October 2013, and Max renames the car lot Deals on Wheels. In March 2014, Lauren Branning goes into business with Lucy Beale, starting their own letting agency called LB Lettings, however Lauren closed it down following Lucy's death.
In January 2015 following the death of Max's girlfriend Emma Summerhayes, Max tricks Ben Mitchell into signing the Arches over to him, which angers Phil Mitchell. But Phil and Karin Smart trick Max into signing The Arches and Deals on Wheels over to Phil leaving Max jobless.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama cannot select the most liberal possible candidate for the U.S. Supreme Court and should seek a "consensus" pick who could attract Republican support, Vice President Joe Biden said on Thursday.
A fierce political fight is brewing as the Democratic president prepares to name a successor to conservative Justice Antonin Scalia, who died on Saturday. Obama's nominee could change the court's balance of power. Scalia's death left it with four conservative and four liberal justices.
Many Republicans, led by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have said the seat should remain vacant until Obama's successor takes office next January so voters can have a say in the selection when they choose a new president in the Nov. 8 election.
"The Senate gets to have a say," Biden, a former senator, told Minnesota Public Radio in an interview broadcast on Thursday. "In order to get this done, the president is not going to be able to go out, nor would it be his instinct anyway, to pick the most liberal jurist in the nation and put them on the court."
The Senate, whose Republican majority would be unlikely to embrace any selection seen as particularly liberal, must confirm nominees picked for lifetime appointments to the nation's highest court.
"There are plenty of judges who are on high courts already who have had unanimous support of the Republicans. This should be someone who, in fact, is a consensus and whereby we can generate enough support to get a person passed," Biden said.
In a separate interview broadcast on MSNBC, Biden said he would be deeply involved in advising Obama but that he had no desire himself to be named to the high court. Biden told MSNBC the president had sought his advice but they had yet to discuss potential candidates.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Obama would draw on Biden's perspective, noting the vice president had served as Senate Judiciary Committee chairman and presided over confirmation hearings for past Supreme Court nominees. Those included the contentious 1991 Separately, retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the court and a nominee of Republican President Ronald Reagan, took issue with Republicans who are demanding that Obama's successor pick the person to fill Scalia's vacancy.
"I don't agree," O'Connor, 85, told an Arizona television station. "We need somebody in there to do the job — and just get on with it."
Some Republican senators have urged their leaders to at least allow the customary Judiciary Committee confirmation hearings to proceed on any Obama nominee.
"I do believe that the nominee should get a hearing," Sen. Lisa Murkowski told reporters in her home state of Alaska on Wednesday.
She added, "That doesn't necessarily mean that ends up in a vote" by the Senate to confirm the nominee.
Sens. Dean Heller of Nevada and Thom Tillis of North Carolina this week also indicated support for allowing the Senate to consider Obama's nominee.
Obama will not attend Scalia's funeral on Saturday, a decision that provoked criticism from some conservatives. Earnest rebuked critics who he said "want to use the funeral of the Supreme Court justice as some sort of political cudgel."
Earnest noted Obama would pay his respects by going to the Supreme Court building on Friday when Scalia's body will be lying in repose, and Biden would represent the Obama administration at the funeral.
Obama's presence at public events requires a massive retinue of Secret Service agents and security measures, while Biden's "security footprint" is a little bit lighter, Earnest said, noting the White House had sought a "respectful arrangement."
A CBS News poll and a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed Americans closely split along partisan lines on whether Obama should name Scalia's successor.
U.S. Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid meanwhile said on Thursday he believes Obama will nominate a replacement for Scalia in a little over three weeks.
"I think it will be a little over three weeks," Reid said in an interview on MSNBC, adding that he spoke to Obama about the nomination on Thursday.

FYI Daily
Alzheimer's Books
Last updated: Oct 05, 2012
A new picture book landed on my desk recently with illustrations and a story as engaging as the any of the billions I'd read over and over to my four kids (well, it seemed like billions!). But the topic of this one was definitely different: Alzheimer's disease.
If you want to help a child understand a relative's dementia, it's easier than ever to use a book to help. Reflecting skyrocketing disease rates, children's books about Alzheimer's are a growing genre. A new study in the American Journal of Alzheimer's Disease and Other Dementias found that 33 such books were published between 1998 and 2009 -- and a quick search on Amazon.com reveals still more, including the just-released one I enjoyed, Grandpa Monty's Muddles by Marta Zafrilla and Miguel Angel Diez.
Paula Span of "The New Old Age" blog asked a New York Times book reviewer to choose some of the best -- stories that would engage a child without boring the adult reader. She named:
The Memory Box by Mary Bahr, published 20 years ago
Still My Grandma by Veronique Van Den Abeele
Curveball: The Year I lost My Grip by Jordan Sonnenblick, for older readers.
When using stories to explain Alzheimer's to kids:
Assure them that you can't "catch" Alzheimer's. Only 12 percent of the books studied did, Span notes.
Talk about the kinds of symptoms your child may be seeing, as a book may not do this. The Washington University researchers behind the study note that most of the books avoid discussing non-cognitive symptoms like agitation, depression, and sleep problems, or functional limitations like being unable to drive. Age-appropriate straight talk is helpful to de-mystify what your child may be seeing.

For a moment Tuesday, Bud Selig looked dumbstruck with joy.
"I don't often have a hard time articulating my thoughts," he said.
On this occasion, on the last Jackie Robinson Day of his career as MLB commissioner, he briefly did.
Jackie Robinson's daughter, Sharon Robinson, presented Selig with a No. 42 plaque at the MLB Diversity Business Summit in the grand ballroom of the Manhattan Center.
"I am here because I love this commissioner and because my mother has such great respect for what he's done for our family," Sharon Robinson said. "On a personal note, I feel really blessed with working with him for 18 years."
In 1997, under Selig's direction, Robinson's uniform No. 42 was retired throughout the major leagues in an unprecedented tribute.
The legacy of Robinson, who broke baseball's colour barrier in 1947 and passed away at 53 in 1972, lives on yearly because of Selig. The 67th anniversary of the day Robinson played his first game for the Brooklyn Dodgers was celebrated Tuesday the same way it has been since 2004 - when MLB, under Selig, adopted the Jackie Robinson Day tradition - with all players, managers and coaches wearing the number.
When Selig, a noted baseball history buff, was 13, he said, he saw Robinson's first game at Wrigley Field. At that point, he said, an impression on him was made.
He called receiving the plaque a great privilege.
"This means so much to me," Selig said. "When I think back when we retired his number and to honor this wonderful legacy, not only for what it meant for baseball, but more importantly what it meant to American society. This means a great deal. It will be displayed with honor and pride."
Selig, who turns 80 in July, plans to retire as commissioner in January 2015. His legacy, as the plaque he received indicates, will always be tied with preserving the memory of Robinson.
"This didn't exist," Selig said. "None of this existed. I mean it's sort of hard to believe that we really didn't honor Jackie Robinson, given the meaningfulness of everything. I don't even want to take a lot of credit. It was just the right thing to do."

If you are reading about fashion in a regional NZ newspaper it is very likely that the little bold name credited for the story will be Rosie Dawson-Hewes. I visited Rosie at her Mt Maunganui home last month and learnt how her passion for fashion (yep…I went there) saved her from a dreary banking future and helped her discover how she could combine her attention for detail and her journalistic drive with a clothing (and serious SHOE) obsession.
WHO: Rosie Dawson-Hewes. I'm a sub-editor, fashion writer, social media addict, coffee snob and avid shoe collector. Could also be described as a grammar ninja and geek-by-proxy.
I originally studied psychology and art history, then spent some years as a "corporate corpse" at a bank before I realised it was killing my creative soul and went back to uni to study journalism. I ended up being a sub-editor after graduating and absolutely loved it and now run a team of 10 subs who put together about 30 community newspapers nationwide each week. Yes, I'm an organisation nerd and love a good list.
I've always loved fashion and wangled my way into writing about it for APN's six regional daily papers on the side of my day job. I've learnt to always say yes when an opportunity arises and, as a result, I get to indulge many of my interests on a daily basis. If it doesn't work out, you can always say no later.
Phil Dawson-Hewes – my hilarious husband of four years, who teaches graphics, design & innovation and science to teenage girls by day and collects Lego by night. He has a background in landscape architecture, though we met while he was also working at the bank (my time there was not completely ill-spent). He's a geeky metaller and loves nothing more than a day spent playing on his Amiga 500, building Lego and having the odd bash on his drum kit. He has a very dry wit, likes to take the mickey out of me (keeps me grounded) and has the biggest soft spot for Minerva (see below).
We also have two incredibly naughty, but cuddly, Devon Rex cats – Minerva Ninja and Manolo Murderface (or Minnie and Manny). No, we don't clip them and yes, they are supposed to look like that. His middle name is Murderface as he has a killer stare.
WHAT: Our three-bedroom 1950s brick house is incredibly warm (though I despise the tea-coloured walls). The living areas get all-day sun, which is a delight after spending years living in damp, shady houses in Wellington. We've lived in five different houses since we got together, all varying size and age, and this place is pretty much ideal. It's quite big for our wee family, but the space allows Phil his "Lego wing", or mancave, and still gives us a spare room for family and friends to come stay. We're also lucky enough to have a wee vege bed out the back, though it's more of a weed bed since autumn set in.
WHERE: Mount Maunganui, though not in the super-flash part! We'd never been to the Bay of Plenty when we shifted up from Wellington for my job, so spent our first 12 months here living in central(ish) Tauranga. There's not much of a vibe in Tauranga on the weekends, so this city girl never really felt at home. In a lot of ways, the Mount is like a whole other world and I'm much happier since we made the move. We're two blocks from the beach, which is amazing year-round, but especially in summer. Every day that I get to wander down to the beach and soak up the magnificent landscape (regardless of the weather), I feel so blessed to live here. It's very inspiring and good for the soul.
DESCRIPTION: My favourite aspect of our place is that it gets absolutely bathed in sunlight, which has hugely improved our quality of life and shrunk our power bill. Sunday mornings spent sitting in the sun, reading the paper with a cup of Chinese green tea in one hand and patting the cats with the other are pure bliss! While the over-ruling beige-ness is a bit meh, the house ticks all our other boxes, so we'll probably stay here until we're ready to buy our own place. (And then I'll never want to see another tea-coloured wall as long as I live!)
My dear friend Anya and I once had a conversation about how people find their joy in different ways. For Phil and I, that joy definitely comes from good design, be it art, furniture or gadgets. I love lots of different styles, but Phil is quite particular. Just after we got married, we couldn't find a coffee table we liked, so bought legs and had the top made from beautiful pale plywood in a size that perfectly fits an open broadsheet newspaper (back when those existed!). It currently holds our TV, so two over-sized Lego bricks are our stand-in side table. We also love items that have a story to tell. We bought my 107-year-old rimu chest of drawers in a terrible state for about $100 on Trademe and Phil sanded it down and stained it. Our delicious teal teacher's desk-cum-kitchen table and the Trubridge swing chair (which is awesome on the deck in summer with a book) were also great Trademe steals.
Most of our prints are birthday or Christmas presents to each other. Eventually I'd love a house full of art and prints, but have a long way to go yet. It's a work in progress.
Phil's love of Lego has permeated most rooms in the house, as his parents have a tendency to bring us back Lego-related knick-knacks when they visit his brother in the States. People often say I must be very tolerant having Lego everywhere, but I loved it as a kid and it's the epitome of good design – I mean, it hasn't fundamentally changed in 50 years, it's that good. Plus, we've always had an agreement that I won't question how much he spends on Lego as long as he doesn't question how much I spend on shoes/clothes. It's pretty much perfect!
Natural talent and passion will only get you so far – grab a dose of determination to create opportunities for yourself.

BAXLEY - It was a recent Tuesday morning and the bright sun, edging its way over the treetops, was signaling another hot summer day.
There was no breeze and the relative coolness that the morning shadows were providing were fast giving away to temperatures already pushing 90 degrees.
For Jesse Dunwoody, it was the start of another routine day - one of training young bird dogs for field trials that start up as the fall and winter months approach.
You will find Jesse doing this on just about every Tuesday and Thursday morning, before the day gets too hot.
When it becomes cooler, the schedule may become more frequent, but now, twice weekly is enough for the young dogs and their trainer.
The schedule is a significant slowdown for the Appling County resident who has, for more than 46 years, been training bird dogs, first for quail hunting and then for field trial competition - the latter of which has made him a legend in his own time.
People who know him marvel over the fact he still has the energy and enthusiasm to continue - an enthusiasm that is immediately apparent when he talks of the dogs he is training and some of those he has trained over the years.
Jesse will be 90 years young next March.
The finer points
His summer schedule now, while less exhausting then when he was at it full time, is still demanding. Trying to bring out the best in young bird dogs, showing they have some talent for trial competition, takes a lot of patience and handling.
While their natural instinct is to hunt, they have to be taught the finer points - to respond to various commands as they run, find birds, point, back, remain steady to wing and shot, and equally important, look stylish.
Finding any one of the qualities in a bird dog is common. Finding all of these qualities in a single dog narrows the field significantly.
It was on this recent Tuesday morning that I arrived just as Jesse and Ike Crosby were placing live pigeons throughout a fenced field behind Jesse's home on Ten-Mile Road.
Ike, a Valdosta State student who lives a short distance from Jesse, has been learning the ropes of training during the twice-week sessions.
Three in training
Jesse now has three bird dogs he is training, all he feels have the potential to become good field trail competitors. Two are males - one a black and white pointer, the other an Irish setter. The other, a female puppy, is an English setter.
The pigeons, to be released from special cages when pointed by the dogs, were placed at various locations throughout the field.
And to calm any concerns that the pigeons were in danger, they were released unharmed once pointed - only a blank pistol is fired to simulate a shot.
Jesse and Ike brought out the black and white pointer first, and it was obvious from the time it was released from its kennel that the dog was more than eager to run.
When turned loose in the field, it bolted ahead, running as fast as its young legs would move it, hesitating only to respond to Jesse's commands.
Suddenly the pointer halted its run and froze on point, tail high in the hair, face and eyes glued to a tall bunch of grass and weeds where a pigeon was hidden.
Constantly coaching, Jesse moved close to the dog, grooming and stroking it. The dog continued to hold the point.
Ike moved in, gave the hidden cage a slight kick and the pigeon immediately flew away. As it did, Ike fired the blank. The pointer remained steady, watching the bird as it winged away in the distance.
Twice the pointer was put to the test, and each time performed almost flawlessly.
Eager to run
Next in the field was the English setter puppy, much younger but just as eager to run.
Compared to the pointer, the puppy has a long way to go as far as pointing and the other finer points are concerned.
But Jesse isn't worried about that. The little dog has speed, and lots of it.
"I have to keep her on a rope," he said. "She's hard to catch when she gets loose, she doesn't want to stop," he said, adding that "she is learning."
Running seems to be an important factor in the training.
"When I was in the Navy, a man named Hunter Grove was training my dog," he said. "He told me to start training puppies when they are young and if they are going to run, they will run.
"Today, most of the trial judges want to see how well a dog runs," he added.
When the trail program first started, it was a response to quail hunting - or the lack of it..
Quail started to disappear and places to hunt became scarce, Jesse remembers.
It was in 1960 that he introduced the first one-course trials to this area.
"It was a bird hunter's stake, and we would walk the dogs around the course," he said.
That method soon changed and handlers and judges moved about the course on horseback. Hence, faster running dogs and more land were required.
Too, the South Georgia Field Trail Association came into existence.
Currently, the Association's local group is looking for some new running grounds, possibly in the Baxley area. And when the season opens this fall, the schedule will call for about 20 trials throughout South Georgia.
Jesse hopes to be running some dogs in these trails - and from horseback.
I might add that until a year or so ago, Jesse was still breaking horses to saddle. I asked him if he still is breaking horses. With a chuckle, he said, "No," then quickly added, "but I still plan to ride some."

Bride On A Budget, Other Place Expensive, Thought We Would..
Decorating By cocobean Updated 11 Jul 2011 , 5:08pm by indydebi
What do you say when someone says, bride saw a really cute cake at a certain shop but it wouldn't fit into her tight budget so they thought they would talk to me.
Can they hear what they are saying? Basically, if we had alot of money we would ask someone else to do our cake!! Is what it sounds like to me!! They don't even know my prices but ASSUME they are cheeper than someone with a store front.
I guess I should have thanked them for even considering me.
Well, I'd ask what her budget is, and to let me see the cake she wants and we'll see what we can work out for her. How close can you get to her dream cake with the amount of money she has. I guess I'm just saying this cuz I just bake for family right now so I don't have much experience but, as of now, that's what I would do...
Edit: Wow! Just saw your photos, you make some beautiful cakes!!! Exquisite!
Yep it takes awhile for a home baker to overcome that mentality of other people thinking you're cheaper because you work from home! The best way is just to keep your prices up and to make your website look as professional and flashy as any bakery and go from there.
Don't back down on your pricing!
I would ask how much they were quoted and charge $0.10 less than the original price. I would consider it an insult as well. But that's just me. I can understand wanting to save money BUT, (and it's a huge one) I would never walk into wendy's and say I could get 1 more nugget for that price at mc'donalds on a monday. (I'm so not comparing cake to mickey d's, just bringing a little humor) Now i'm hungry.
edited to add: You are very talented and they should have come to you first.
You should charge the sane anoint unless the other place truly is overpriced,which I doubt.
Personally, I would tell her that your prices tend to be comparable with most store fronts, but that is because were YOU to have a store front, you would have to charge much more, due to your extensive training and quality of work that far exceeds most in your area!! (Whether its true or not, it should shut her up and hopefully make her feel about as tiny as she made you feel by telling you that she'd really rather have the other place do her cake...)
edited to correct spelling
I think everyone is responding to this on a more emotional level than it really needs.
The bride can shop around as much as she wants. To someone who doesn't make cakes, the cake is one more thing on the list. She's not saying your work is worth less than the shop's work, she's just saying she's shopping around to get the best price for what she wants. This is the point where you either get emotional and insulted, or you look at what she wants and quote her a price.
I think Texas is right..To Most Brides the cake is just another check off their list so they are looking to spend X amount of dollars...not saying or knowing how much a cake is worth.Quote her your price and she can take it or leave it.
I think everyone is responding to this on a more emotional level than it really needs.

I agree wholeheartedly with you! I also see it as a teaching moment, as well as a moment to garner perhaps an entire family of grateful customers with a very happy memory that only YOU made possible. You can't beat that!.
I know we are all busy and such, but after seeing her cake, I would just quickly try to give her an idea as to what would be needed, why, and how to cut the costs yet give her something pretty. I would try to turn it into a positive situation for all concerned.
Sorry to butt in like this, I'm just a newbie, but I am an oldie in years, and I quess you could say I've seen a lt! LOL!
Best of luck either way!
I am going to look at what she wants and quote her a price and I do understand people shopping around. I just think people should consider their approach to you when they want your help. How about, we saw a cake that we really love and know you do great work, wondering if we could talk with you about replicating the cake for us. I just hate to keep hearing that we would like to talk to you about cake because we can't afford the other guys. I am a pretty easy going person but I get feeling bad that others don't value my work but at the same time want me to work for them! Thats life. Got to have a thick skin!
Having seen your work, should this work out, I have a feeling this going to be one VERY happy bride!
It does sound like price will be an issue so I have a feeling the customer will try to negotiate...just make sure you hold your ground regarding price, and if the customer's budget is lower than the quoted price you can suggest a simpler design with a lower cost.
Don't forget that the customer is not trying to be your friend -- many people have a very different demeanor when conducting a business transaction.
If you continually get customers trying to bargain-shop, you may want to post example prices on your web site so people get an idea of how much you charge before they contact you.
I also see it as a teaching moment,......
I had an older bride who had eloped her first time getting married and these many years later had NO idea what cakes cost. She had a wonderful attitude though. She told me "I went to walmart and they wanted $149 for a wedding cake!" I said, "Wow, that's a really good price!"
Her eyes got wide and she said, "It is???? REALLY???" then she started laughing and said, "That's shows you how out of the loop I am on this stuff!"
Then we started "the education process" on cakes.

Low Carb Breakfast Muffins
Be the first to review
READY IN: 40mins
Recipe by Demandy
From Kalyn's Kitchen, with modifications.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 3⁄4 cup part-skim cottage cheese
- 1⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
- 2⁄3 cup almond meal
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- 4 eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons water
- 4 ounces sausage, cooked
- 3⁄4 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, flour, almond meal, baking powder, salt, eggs, and water. Mix until well combined, then gently stir in sausage and sharp cheddar.
- Spray muffin cups with non-stick spray or olive oil. Divide batter between muffin cups. Bake muffins 25-30 minutes or until lightly browned on top and set. (If you're going to be microwaving, I would bake about 25 minutes, for eating immediately I would use closer to 30 minutes.).
- Muffins can be refrigerated and reheated in microwave. Be careful not to microwave too long or they will get tough. (Still have not tried freezing them, I eat them too fast!).

The gyrfalcon has been prized by humans as a hunting companion since ancient times. Associated not only with falconry but also with royalty and nobility, and a celebrated circumpolar Arctic coastal dweller, the gyrfalcon—the largest of the falcon species—makes a fitting subject for the Royal Canadian Mint's stunning 2016 gold coin.
In the vast Canadian Arctic, Ursus maritimus is king. Like its homeland, it is massive – males can weigh up to 800 kilograms and females about 400 kilograms. Although Polar Bears inhabit Arctic coasts around the world, Canada hosts the largest population on earth: about 15,000 of the global total of approximately 25,000.
Valcambi CombiBars are ideal for those seeking gold that can be broken down into small increments. Thanks to the bar's perforated edges, each one can be split into very small amounts, potentially for use in trade or as a gift.
Until the start of the 20th Century, the U.S. Mint's coinage was only designed by employees of the Mint. But that changed in 1904 when President Teddy Roosevelt, in acknowledging that "the state of our coinage is artistically of atrocious hideousness", commissioned his friend and world-renowned artist Augustus Saint-Gaudens to design a coin with "some beauty". The exquisite Saint-Gaudens double eagle ($20) is the result of these two giants of history and their belief that the United States deserved a coinage as epic as the future that lay before the country.
The twenty dollar Liberty Head, also known as a "double eagle," was the first gold coin struck by the U.S. Mint. First authorized in early 1849, it was struck that year as a response to the sudden flow of gold, first in North Carolina in the 1830s, then compounded by the California Gold Rush in 1849. Prior to the Liberty Head, all U.S. coinage was made of silver, with the largest denomination being $10, or one eagle, hence the nickname, double eagle.
In the late 18th Century, with passage of the Coinage Act of 1792 and establishment of the U.S. Mint, a set of standards was applied to all gold coins struck by the United States government.
After successfully landing the highly esteemed sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens to redesign the some aspect of U.S. coinage in 1904, President Theodore Roosevelt asked the artist to make models for several different denominations of gold coins. In 1905, the artist agreed and thus began a fantastic tale of presidential coin design.
The first national bullion coin in the world, the South African Krugerrand was first issued in 1967 to demonstrate the quality of that country's gold. The Krugerrand is named after Paul Kruger, the 5th president of South Africa and war hero of the Second Boer War, and the rand, the official South African currency unit. The coin was such a wild success that other countries followed suit, issuing their own bullion coins.

Part 1
Beatty explains that their society values superficial peruits over thinking and pheosophy.
With school turning out more runners, jumpers, racers, tinkerers, grabbers, snatchers, fliers, and swimmers instead of examiners, critics, knower and imaginative creators, the word 'intellectual,' of course, became the swear word it deserved to be. Surely you remember the boy in your own school class who was exceptionally 'bright,'...and wasn't it this bright boy you selected for beating and tortures after hours?"

Michelle Obama and Yara Shahidi teamed up Tuesday for the International Day of the Girl to chat about girls' education around the world.
We absolutely love when not one but two fierce ladies get together to discuss pertinent issues, and the fact that they just so happened to be flawless in the process is just icing on the cake.
First Lady Michelle Obama donned a gorgeous floral wrap dress with black pumps, while Yara rocked a super chic Alberta Ferretti suit with red heels.
Yara took to Instagram to gush about the experience saying that she was "truly over the moon."
Truly over the moon ⭐ Such an inspirational morning discussing girls' education on #internationaldayofthegirl btwn Me, @michelleobama and @cindi_leive + girls around the world! Thank you @glamourmag x @maybelline for sponsoring and putting together such thoughtful programming! More deets to come on how to watch the panel!
A photo posted by Yara (يارا) Shahidi (@yarashahidi) on Oct 11, 2016 at 12:27pm PDT
Following her appearance, Yara switched her look up and showed it off with a cute dancing post. We all know that wearing sky high heels is only ideal for short periods of time so we love how Yara threw on some fresh Adidas sneakers to give her suit a more dressed down approach.
When @michelleobama makes this young buck feel so at home at the #Whitehouse - Ya just gotta dance...IN THE WHITEHOUSE!! 😘 @albertaferretti x @adidas x @adesamuel 💃🏾

Not to question RMI, but on matching methods with the same ordinal number, why not do this at deployment/startup time? As the client interface is fixed, we can have a mapping performed by alphabetically ordering the method signatures and then simply taking their indexes. As the number of methods is fixed, we can utilise a static structure (i.e. an array) to hold the method metadata and methodproxies and utilise this index for a lookup (removes the need for continuous trie lookups or various other string manipulation). NOTE: if we take control of the stub generation, we can generate these indexes up front and thus require NO string manipulations.

Use the RMI hashing algorithm: http://java.sun.com/products/jdk/1.2/docs/guide/rmi/spec/rmi- stubs.doc3.html the string containing the remote method's name and descriptor would be the following: myRemoteMethod(ILjava.lang.Object;Z)V The hash value is assembled from the first two 32-bit values of the SHA-1 message digest. If the result of the message digest, the five 32-bit words H0 H1 H2 H3 H4, is in an array of five int values named sha, the hash value would be computed as follows: long hash = ((sha[0] >>> 24) & 0xFF) | ((sha[0] >>> 16) & 0xFF) << 8 | ((sha[0] >>> 8) & 0xFF) << 16 | ((sha[0] >>> 0) & 0xFF) << 24 | ((sha[1] >>> 24) & 0xFF) << 32 | ((sha[1] >>> 16) & 0xFF) << 40 | ((sha[1] >>> 8) & 0xFF) << 48 | ((sha[1] >>> 0) & 0xFF) << 56; =dain

Row Challenge
People killed the Swing Challenge and we are rolling right into February with a new one for you by popular demand! This month will be a row challenge and is super simple: row as far as you can over the course of the month!
As always, anything done during class counts, but much of the time will need to be planned on your own time.
You are welcome to come in before and after classes or even during a class that we are not using the rowers.
Below are some examples of what you would need to row daily and weekly in order to hit a specific monthly goal. These numbers don't need to be set in stone, but will give you a basic idea as to what you may want to shoot for.
Once again, these challenges are designed to get you in the habit of getting up and sticking to a goal that you set for yourself. The consistency is what truly makes a difference in maintaining physical fitness across the lifespan, and these little challenges are ways to build habit practice into your life…and that type of practice done consistently over time make magic happen!
Once again, upon completion of your day please use #FITrowchallenge on Facebook and/or Instagram to update your progress so that everyone involved can stay up to speed on your journey!
I have concocted a spreadsheet that will help you to track and tally your distance. I can't figure out how to attach it here, but I'll send it out in an email. If you would like a copy, please shoot me a message and I'll get it out to you: email@example.com
For those of you that participated in last month's challenge, please forward me your swing totals!
