Rihanna makes a splash in furry red heart cape
The R&B star wanted to be noticed on the streets of New York City over the Labor Day weekend, sporting a bright red Saint Laurent heart coat.
Rihanna is playing to the media's obsession with her and Drake's romance, sporting a bright red heart cape on the streets of New York.
More than a fashion statement, Rihanna's decision to wear her heart on more than her sleeve suggests her red-hot romance with One Dance rapper Drake is very much on.
Unfortunately her rumoured beau wasn't in sight as Rihanna wore the showstopping $15,500 (£11,655) cape with short denim shorts and high-heeled black sandals in the city that never sleeps, exactly a week after Drake presented her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards and professed his love for her.
"We love the woman who hasn't changed since day one, he beamed, gazing at his reported lover. "She's someone I've been in love with since I was 22-years-old. She's one of my best friends in the world. All my adult life, I've looked up to her even though she's younger than me. She's a living breathing legend in our industry."
If the Work singer was hoping to quell rumours of the pair's romance, she clearly failed, even wearing the same outfit the following morning to feed birds on a New York street. An amused friend was on hand to record the moment, captioning her Snapchat post: "Seriously? I'm walking down the street and see this big red heart feeding birds."
Drake and Rihanna kissed onstage in Miami last Wednesday (31Aug16) and the couple also debuted matching shark tattoos in the past week (beg29Aug16), further fuelling the romance rumours. Rihanna's regular tattoo artist Keith McCurdy, better known as Bang Bang, posted an image of the camouflage shark on her ankle, and fans were quick to note it closely resembled a stuffed camouflage shark Drake bought for her during an August (16) date at Toronto's aquarium.
When Drake performed in New Orleans, Louisiana on Friday night (02Sep16), he sported his own version of the tattoo on his right inner arm.

About Leanne Sowul
This page used to have a list of my writing accomplishments, along with a list of my favorite books and a little bit about my teaching job. It was basically like an online resume. And it was BORING. Seriously, even my eyes glazed over when I read it.
So I deleted it. Because you didn't click over to this page to find out where I've been published or what my agent's name is. (Suzie Townsend, New Leaf Literary.) You clicked over, I assume, for the same reason I look at author pages: to learn a little about the person hiding behind the stories, books and blog posts.
So instead of making you a list, I'm going to do what all writers do best: tell a story. Unfortunately, it's the story of Me, which makes it a lot more uncomfortable to tell, but for you, dear reader, I'm willing to make the effort.
Leanne's Story
Once upon a time, there was a girl named Leanne. She was born at the close of July* in 1981 to a pair of public school English teachers, Mark and Marjorie. And the three were happy in their Hudson Valley home with red kitchen countertops and a rose garden. Four years later, little sister Kaitlyn came along, and Leanne eventually got used to the new addition, but not before going through a phase where she requested that the baby's name be "toilet seat." Leanne and Kaitlyn played Barbies and Rainbow Brite, and Leanne always got to be the best dolls because she was the oldest.
After awhile, the house felt too cramped for the four, so they built a new construction up the hill on the back of their property, which henceforth put them in the very odd position of being able to spy on the people who'd bought their old house. There, Leanne got a bigger room, which pleased her introverted heart. She began to read and make up stories in her head. Her favorite book was Anne of Green Gables, and she wanted to be just like Anne when she grew up. She played flute in school, made a best friend**, and on Friday nights her family would clean the house and then eat Chinese food while watching Square One and Where In the World Is Carmen Sandiego. Life was good. (Obviously.)
Then Leanne became a teenager, and it got all kinds of awkward. Oh, the braces! Oh, the early-90s glasses! Oh, the acne! But none of that mattered after she turned fourteen. Not because it all went away, but because she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer, and that tends to put perspective on a few chin pimples. She spent high school going back and forth between surgeries (four total) and radioactive iodine treatments. In between, she strove for normalcy: playing flute in school, reading and making up stories in her head, having sleepovers with her best friend, cleaning the house and eating Chinese food on Friday nights. She also added a few other super-cool activities like drama club, marching band and taking AP classes. When she graduated, she was cancer-free and ready to move on with her life.
Leanne went to the Crane School of Music at SUNY Potsdam because she wanted to become a music teacher. Teaching was in her blood (see above: parents) and music had saved her life in many ways during the cancer years. She got off to a rough start in college, hooking up with the wrong boyfriend and getting a little too drunk on freedom*** to focus on her classes, but eventually straightened herself out. She found the right boyfriend, a sax player named Nick****, auditioned her way into all the best musical groups, and graduated magna cum laude. She also made lifelong friends, because musicians are awesome, and Potsdam musicians ("Cranies") only have each other to hang with, because Potsdam is a tiny town in the middle of nowhere. (The town of "Madstop," from Nightmare on Elm Street? That's Potsdam.) She kept dating Nick and they both got teaching jobs back in the Hudson Valley, where, coincidentally, both of their families lived. Eventually they got married and bought their own house, just three streets over from where Leanne grew up.
After several years of teaching, plus getting her masters in education from SUNY New Paltz, Leanne entered her blue period and was feeling a little lost in life. Her grandmother had just died, and she spent a year or so coping with depression. One of the things that saved her was keeping a journal. She'd done it all through high school, and it helped her process her feelings in a big way. Soon, journaling wasn't enough, and she decided to take fiction writing classes. The second short story she wrote for her first fiction class was very well-received, and the teacher recommended she try for publication. It took a few years of editing and researching the publishing industry, but in spring 2014 Leanne finally placed that short story, Amish Girl. In the meantime, she worked on a novel about the Triangle Factory Fire of 1911, and after much re-writing and querying, she placed it with an agent in spring 2016.
Leanne still lives with her saxophone-playing husband in their Hudson Valley house, although it's much more cramped now with two children (older boy, younger girl) and two cats (older girl, younger boy). She divides her time between mothering, teaching and writing, and has never been happier.
She still wants to be Anne of Green Gables when she grows up.
*Not July 31, Harry Potter's birthday, but pretty close. The prophecy could have been taking about me! If, you know, I was a wizard and not a boring old muggle.
**Still her best friend. Hi, Laura!
***Drunk on freedom. Not literally drunk. I learned pretty fast that I have terrible tolerance for alcohol.
****You know what they say about sax and flute players. Oh, you don't know? They just tend to date each other. That's all.

Dodge is not the only way to avoid attacks.
I believe the root of the problem to the GW2 combat mechanic is the fact that there is no way of regenerating Stamina fast enough. Therefore, the whole "Skill based" gameplay is more of gimicky than we want. I don't care if a monster can one hit KO me, if I was given the ability or the possibility of dodging out of it using personal skill. The problem is there is no way of keeping up the stamina bar therefore you have cases where people are Downed so many times that players get frustrated and want the Trinity back for a tank or a healer...
Well... as long as you had not been spamming all your weapon and utility skills that also allow you to completely block or evade attacks.
You did equip some of those, right?

Poet Baker to Speak at Oct. 16 Raymond Carver Series Event
The poet David Baker is the next speaker in this semester's Raymond Carver Reading Series at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 16, in Gifford Auditorium. A question-and-answer session will precede the reading from 3:45-4:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public. Parking is available in SU's paid lots.
His most recent collection of poetry, "Never-Ending Birds" (Norton, 2009), won the Theodore Roethke Memorial Poetry Prize, named for the late poet who won the 1953 Pulitzer Prize for the poem "The Waking." One of the judges, the award-winning poet Rosanna Warren, noted the sensory nature of Baker's writing. "He understands the human story as part of a larger story of life on earth, but he never forces the analogy," she said. "His rhythms are as alive to the roll and tang of syllables on the tongue as they are to the recurrences and interruptions of the circulation of blood and sap. His poems respond deeply to life, and enlarge our imaginative responses to it."
Baker's other poetry collections include "Treatise on Touch: Selected Poems" (Arc Publications, 2007), "Midwest Eclogue" (Norton, 2005), "Changeable Thunder" (University of Arkansas, 2001), "The Truth about Small Towns" (1998), "After the Reunion" (1994), "Sweet Home, Saturday Night" (University of Arkansas Press,1991), "Haunts" (Cleveland State University, 1985), and "Laws of the Land" (Ahsahta/Boise State University, 1981).
Baker's work invites readers to "lean down and listen," Kirkus Reviews wrote about "The Truth about Small Towns." "And when we do, we hear the steady rhythms and strong cadences of a poet who measures his praise of the natural world and his celebration of love with the darkness that threatens both, all within the setting of small, rural towns."
He teaches English and creative writing at Denison College in Ohio and is the poetry editor of Kenyon Review. His poems and essays have appeared in publications such as The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Paris Review and Slate.
"I write in fits and starts," he said in an online video profile for Dennison. "Sometimes I'll write for days without stopping. Then months or weeks will go by when I don't really write." Since publishing his first poem at about 20, his writing has become "less linear, more associative," he said. "I know I've gotten more engaged with text and stories and narratives beyond the moment or this day or this place."
To be a poet, "You have to be two things at once: extremely arrogant, enough to think you're going to sit down and say something of value to the world and extremely humble and embarrassed by that very thing so that you realize that as you write you're not writing to yourself, you're not writing your own story," he said. "In fact, as you write a poem, it's more and more about relinquishing yourself to this other thing."
Fall 2013 Series Schedule
Following are the remaining speakers in this semester's series. All readings begin at 5:30 p.m. in Gifford Auditorium. Question-and-answer sessions are from 3:45 to 4:30 p.m. Further information is available by calling 315-443-2174.

Nov. 20: Cheryl Strayed G'02, author of The New York Times bestselling memoir "Wild: From Lost to Found on the Pacific Crest Trail" (Knopf, 2012), "Tiny Beautiful Things: Advice on Love and Life From Dear Sugar" (Vintage Books, 2012) and the novel "Torch" (Houghton Mifflin, 2006).

capecod (9) , | December 10, 2014
I agree with the prior poster...just ok. The Portuguese food specials are very good, but unremarkable beer selection. The staff has a bit of attitude if you are not a regular. Hop on over to the Pour House or Rose Alley in New Bedford if you are a beer first kind of person.
halfonit (106) Fall River, Massachusetts | May 14, 2012
This place has potential. It's open with some booths on one side and tables around the bar and on the other side. They have a big opening in the middle of the bar that they fill with beers and keep cold with ice (hence "Ice Chest"). The selection isn't anything that jumps out at you but they do have a couple of taps that they keep for craft selections. The crowd is a bit on the older side, and seems filled with fishermen and bikers. The bartenders aren't really all that knowledgable and seem to not like talking to people who aren't "regulars." There is potential here.

text: My DH is coming from a conference at the Dolphin and we are having dinner that night at Artist Point. I can probably meet him there from our hotel, but i am wondering what the easiest way for him to get there will be. He won't have a park ticket that day so he can't walk through Epcot to the monorail. I assume there is no way to walk there from Dolphin? So I am thinking he either needs a bus to TTC, then monorail to Contem and boat to WL. Or bus to TTC then bus directly to WL? Either way it seems like several changes of transpo. Any effecient suggestions? What seems quickest? Thanks! JJ

DuPuy: MLB, D.C. 'at a crossroads'
DuPuy: MLB, D.C. 'at a crossroads'
Major League Baseball told the head of Washington, D.C.'s City Council in a letter on Monday that the sport was nearing "a crossroads" in its relationship with the city. The letter was sent by Bob DuPuy, MLB's president and chief operating officer on Monday shortly after District of Columbia Mayor Anthony A. Williams pulled an item off Tuesday's City Council meeting agenda that called for a vote on the terms of a 30-year lease for the team to play at a newly constructed ballpark paid largely by publicly generated funds. "We used our best efforts to reach closure with the Council to ensure the future of the Washington Nationals in the District of Columbia," DuPuy said in a letter addressed to Council Chairman Linda Cropp. "If the Council fails to approve the lease, we would be at a crossroads."
At stake are low-interest bonds that the city must sell by the end of the year to fund a great portion of the $535 million project, and the prospective ownership of a franchise that has been owned and operated by Major League Baseball for the past four years. DuPuy said the very existence of the team in the nation's capital may be at stake. "The Baseball Stadium Agreement (BSA) requires lease approval by the end of this month," DuPuy wrote. "Despite today's announcement that you will postpone the vote, we urge the council to approve the lease prior to this deadline. If the lease is not approved by then, the city will be in default on its contractual commitments and we will then have no choice but to prepare for arbitration. "MLB has done everything the BSA required of us and...much more. In arbitration, all prior concessions by MLB would be revisited. We will all be very disappointed if we do not reach a result that serves the interests of our fans and the Washington D.C. community." The Mayor's office said the lease agreement reached earlier this month was pulled from the council agenda to make "small technical changes" and that "the legislation will be resubmitted for consideration and a vote as soon as possible." Tuesday, though, is the last regularly scheduled council meeting of the year. And unless Council Chairman Linda Cropp calls an emergency special session, the next one on the docket isn't until Jan. 3. "We continue to work aggressively to get assistance from the federal government, from private developers and from Major League Baseball to put together the best deal possible for the city," said Mayor Williams, a strong proponent of building the new stadium. "There is no doubt in my mind that bringing back baseball has been and will continue to be a huge economic boost for our city. An investment in baseball and a new stadium is an investment in our city's future and in our children's futures." Tuesday's vote was key because the city needs to sell $289 million worth of public bonds before a Dec. 31 deadline stipulated by the agreement formulated in the last days of 2004 between MLB and the city. The remaining cost of the project will be funded by a bank loan. But as of Monday, the situation was delicate as pro- and anti-ballpark factions held rallies to try and sway the council vote. DuPuy was in the District as late as Friday talking with council members behind closed doors and his assessment is that the vote was too close to call. The Associated Press reported that Mayor Williams had commitments from only five members, two short of the majority needed from the 13-person council. MLB elected to move the Expos from Montreal to Washington last December only after it was given written assurance by the council that the stadium would be built. Last year the question was whether to build the stadium at all and a last-minute reversal by Cropp saved the team for Washington, which had been without baseball since the expansion Senators moved to Texas after the 1971 season. "It was almost exactly one year ago that the council paved the way for the return of baseball to Washington by approving the BSA," DuPuy wrote. "Although much has been made of some bumps in the road over the last year, I was actually struck by how little has changed since the City first approached us with a proposal to move our Montreal franchise to Washington. For the most part we accepted the basic economics of your first proposal. "Just before approving the BSA last December, you requested some significant concessions to reduce the city's risks related to late completion penalties. We agreed to modify the BSA along the lines you requested. The basic terms of the lease were determined a year ago in the BSA. To be sure, we have fleshed out a lot of important detail, but the fundamentals were settled last year." This year, some members of the council are wondering whether cost overruns have already made the project too expensive and are seeking alternatives, including building a new ballpark on land adjacent to RFK Stadium. But MLB, in a letter sent to the city last week, said that baseball would not support building on any site other than the one already designated south of the Capitol on the banks of the Anacostia River. To keep the deal moving forward, MLB agreed to pay about $20 million in cost overruns and set aside about $24 million to cover rent payments in case of another terrorist attack, like the ones that struck Washington and New York on Sept. 11, 2001. The council now also wants changes in the current language allowing the $20 million for general use. The Council needed the adjustments from MLB to obtain the best possible rating on the open market for the stadium bonds, which will be repaid from stadium user fees and a tax imposed on large businesses in the area. "The city wanted an investment grade bond rating," DuPuy wrote. "To help achieve that important goal, the City requested that we pay our rent in a lump sum in advance of each season, that we put up a letter of credit for a one-year rent reserve, that we waive set-off rights against rent, and various other items. Although not required by the BSA, we agreed to do it and to bear the associated costs, which are substantial. I mention all this because I was surprised by how few council members were aware of all these concessions by MLB." Meanwhile, Commissioner Bud Selig has concluded his meetings with representatives of the eight groups still vying for the franchise. Completing those meetings and a formal transition of the lease from a term sheet to a bona fide legal document are still the final hurdles to the expected $450 million sale of a franchise that has been owned and operated by MLB since Feb. 15, 2002. Of the eight groups, two have the strongest ties to the District. The first is headed by Fred Malek, a former Texas Ranger minority partner during the early 1990s when President George W. Bush owned the team, and includes former Secretary of State Colin Powell. The second is Mark Lerner, a minority owner in the company that holds the NHL's Capitals and a suburban realtor. The other top contender is a group headed by former Mariners owner Jeff Smulyan that has limited Washington ties. Originally, the Nationals were to begin playing in their new facility by the 2008 season, but that date is still fluid and will not be reached if the stadium funding mechanism is not set in motion until next year. Until then, the team will continue to play at aging RFK Stadium where it sold about 2.7 million tickets this past season and reportedly made a profit of about $30 million.

Vienne River, river, western France, 217 mi (350 km) in length, a left-bank tributary of the Loire. Rising on the Plateau de Millevaches, the Vienne winds through the agricultural regions of five départements. It flows west-northwest into the Haute-Vienne département, receiving the Maulde and Taurion tributaries, which are dammed in several places, before it flows past the city of Limoges. Beyond Saint-Junien it turns sharply north and broadens. After passing through Châtellerault, it meets the Creuse River and bends westward past Chinon before joining the Loire.

My favorite bagels in the city seemed to have disappeared. Anyone know where they went? I noticed about a month ago as I drove by the strip mall on Delaware Ave (yes, I know it's technically "Columbus Blvd") at Washington Ave that the Philadelphia Bagel Company was closed and empty and a big leasing sign was on the storefront. I haven't been up to the door to see if there's any announcement, but I was hoping someone had the scoop.
I'm thinking I'll divert my Mummer's Day brunch order to the place near 3rd and South or perhaps contemplate an order from someone who imports their bagels from the hinterlands. I know that barryg posted that Capogiro imports NYC bagels. Are there other CC places that import or sell their own (non-franchised) bagels?

Human Growth Hormone For Sale
July 22nd, 2009
Human Growth Hormone For Sale, I contributed the following article to the Financial Times, at ft.com/maverecon
The real estate roots of the crisis in the US
July 21, 2009 3:42 pm
Today's guest blogger is Elena Panaritis, an expert in property rights, creating markets in illiquid real estate assets, and public sector management. She is also the author of Prosperity Unbound; Building Property Markets with Trust, which is definitely not one of those odious get-rich-quick-in-real-estate-without-capital-brains-or-effort books. Instead it is a get real book for social entrepreneurs about how to turn real estate possessions into socially productive, and indeed also privately profitable, capital.
This Crisis Demands Non-Traditional Solutions to Get to a Path of Quick Recovery
By Elena Panaritis
Two years after it began, there is now a coalescing of opinion about the causes of the U.S. Human Growth Hormone street price, financial crisis and what should be done to resolve it, yet there is a serious element missing both in the causation analysis as well as in the prescriptive solution. This crisis, which has infected the global economy so severely, Human Growth Hormone dangers, is very much a non-traditional one that calls for a non-traditional solution. The impact in the United States so far has been worse than anything since the Great Depression: unemployment reached 9.5 percent in June, Human Growth Hormone price, up from 7.8 percent in January, home prices were down 27% at the end of the first quarter from their 2006 peak, and 1.5 million homes were in foreclosure. After jumping by 30 percent in February, home foreclosure rates tapered off but are again on the rise, order Human Growth Hormone from mexican pharmacy. According to the New York Times, the loss in property value could total $500 billion.
There is general agreement that the financial crisis results from a variety of factors: an extremely low household saving rate in the United States; excessive public and private liquidity creation and a wave of cheap and easy credit which was directed into real estate speculation; proliferation of "subprime" mortgage loans to high-risk borrowers, interest rates kept too low for too long that further increased incentives to over-borrow; the failure of financial supervision and regulation, Human Growth Hormone For Sale. However, there is a much less obvious element that everybody is missing, Human Growth Hormone from canada, that of a poorly defined and weak underlying asset namely real estate/property. Indeed, it is at the heart of the crisis. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and the weak link here is the system used to define the asset of real estate/property in terms of use and cash flow, buy cheap Human Growth Hormone, its supply, and pricing. Buy Human Growth Hormone from mexico, In this crisis, real estate assets were badly defined for the most part, making them less securely bankable and more susceptible to price manipulation and destabilizing speculation. Human Growth Hormone For Sale, That's still true, yet no one is raising the issue.
Usually, where can i buy Human Growth Hormone online, economic crises result from bad regulation and over-liquidity in the financial markets (the first four of the five factors mentioned above). Economists usually address the demand side of the assets (i.e. Human Growth Hormone treatment, how an asset is financed and the credit markets around it) (as opposed to the actual regulatory infrastructure that defines and creates assets to become securely tradable with reduced risk, that is, the supply side. In this crisis, Human Growth Hormone pharmacy, the asset (real estate) was/is for the most part badly defined - and it is this side of the equation that needs to be examined rather than taken for granted.
The current economic crisis stems from the fact that the underpinnings of the market are either broken or rotted, and in some cases there are no underpinnings, Human Growth Hormone For Sale. That makes it a non-traditional crisis; what we are confronting is the direct result of inadequacies in upstream property rights. Effects of Human Growth Hormone, This crisis combines the original sin of badly valued properties with a financial system based on harmful, unproductive gambling and incentives to continue gambling. As a result, investors in mortgage-backed securities did not have enough, Human Growth Hormone cost, reliable information on the mortgage itself. They only had information on ratings of the derivative, Is Human Growth Hormone safe, but not of the actual underlying asset. Human Growth Hormone For Sale, We cannot achieve secure derivative trading if the information on the underpinning asset is not standardized but oblique and difficult to find - because markets run on information. In the same way we understand the need to standardize derivatives, we must understand the need to do the same for the underlying real estate assets. While we have national and international trading in asset-based securities, generic Human Growth Hormone, the information on the assets themselves is localized, and the way it is collected and reported varies from county to county and state to state. Human Growth Hormone mg, What, then, should be done. We need to treat this crisis as an opportunity not only to install a more rigorous regulatory regime for the financial sector, Human Growth Hormone long term, but also to listen to the non-traditional economists - that is practitioners of institutional economics. They will tell us that we need to overhaul the way property rights and property values are established in this country, Human Growth Hormone For Sale. We need a structural reform that establishes standards for how property is evaluated and how it is offered to the market. Taking Human Growth Hormone, We need a standardized repository of information about the asset of property, so that no one has to search multiple places to make sure a title is good and that there are no outstanding liens dating back decades. We need to ensure that all buyers can access information about the pricing of property. Let's start with a consolidation of information county by county, and use the best standardized information we can find - typically from registries of deeds and from title insurance companies - to get things going, Human Growth Hormone results.
The U.S. Human Growth Hormone For Sale, property rights system is severely broken. The incorrect valuation of land, Human Growth Hormone photos, properties, and thus mortgages is at the center of our current crisis, and if we don't fix things so that mortgages are valued correctly we will not have addressed the root cause of why things are the way they are today.
Traditionally, buy Human Growth Hormone online no prescription, economists are trained to assume that pricing in general is a point of equilibrium defined by almost perfect market forces, where the demand and supply meet and neither the buyer or seller has a huge informational advantage. Human Growth Hormone from mexico, The traditional model also assumes that markets are frictionless and transaction costs are near zero especially when we deal with the supply side. From that they continue to assume that systems (rules, regulations, norms) that define the tradability of assets are given and near perfect, order Human Growth Hormone online c.o.d. But this is rarely the case, Human Growth Hormone For Sale. In reality the systems that define supply of land and real estate tend to be full of transactions costs and information leakages, and that makes it really difficult to follow the old maxim that a price or value based on how much one is willing to pay is necessarily the right price. Where can i find Human Growth Hormone online, These are the same economists who, faced with a crisis, would concentrate on the downstream usage of an asset - that is, the asset's treatment in the financial markets, Human Growth Hormone maximum dosage. They would typically pay little or no attention to the upstream definition of the asset - that is, the actual system that structures the supply of the asset - the pool of all assets ready to be traded in the market - before it enters the market. Human Growth Hormone no prescription, Their solutions would be all the traditional ones, that is, solutions that touch on the impacts of distorted financial markets, that is, where can i order Human Growth Hormone without prescription, markets for 'downstream' financial assets: macroeconomic stability, regulation of the financial sector, Online buying Human Growth Hormone, even labor regulations, and by taking these steps, they would consider transactions costs to be close to zero, and disregard societal and market wrinkles, Human Growth Hormone forum. Human Growth Hormone For Sale, What about practitioners of institutional economics? They would emphasize how the underlying asset is defined, whether all the characteristics that help determine its market price are clear, and how the original creation of the asset takes place.
And so, to whom do the powers-that-be turn for solutions in this non-traditional crisis. Order Human Growth Hormone from United States pharmacy, They are following the lead of the traditional economists and the conventional path of economic analysis.
The Obama administration's economics team came in determined to get a handle on this crisis. There has been a concerted effort to lift the fog and manage as much as possible the systemic risk that has been created by panic over a suddenly uncertain future. The team has focused on policies to reduce uncertainty about the derivatives markets and restore confidence, to return banks to healthy levels of capital and bring tighter oversight to the derivatives markets, Human Growth Hormone For Sale.
These steps are needed, buy Human Growth Hormone online cod, but they are not enough. Everyone has pointed to the greed of the financial sector, Buy generic Human Growth Hormone, the manic behavior of banks and new lending institutions that continued to leverage up to take advantage of the spreads between their securitized assets and their ever-shorter funding maturities, the lax regulation of the derivatives markets, and the fact that almost anything could be bundled with anything else, no matter how heterogeneous - one security could include consumer debt, Human Growth Hormone over the counter, credit cards and home mortgages. Also there is a wide acknowledgment that when banks stop lending it both brings about a cyclical contraction and fuels a weakening of long-term productivity in any economy. Human Growth Hormone steet value, But is it enough simply to reduce uncertainty regarding the capitalization of banks. Human Growth Hormone For Sale, Does lifting the fog of uncertainty about the complex derivatives also cure the core problem.
No one is touching the roots of the crisis.
When Timothy Geithner, US Treasury Secretary, Human Growth Hormone images, is asked about the signs of improvement, he points to impacts of the systemic crisis, Human Growth Hormone canada, mexico, india, such as unemployment, lending rates, and so on. He has yet to point to a single indicator that goes to the roots. Where is his explanation of what is being done to address the bad rules and regulations governing how property rights in real estate are established in the United States, which is the primary reason that all the systemic problems could bring us down the path to negative-equity mortgage loans. What does he have to say about long-term miscalculations of the value of mortgages on an asset - real property - that ought to be unambiguous and transparent in our market economy, Human Growth Hormone For Sale. What is going to be done to ensure that land valuations are not driven by guesswork.
Until the United States accepts that it has a badly flawed approach to establishing and verifying real estate property rights and to determining the valuation of property, until it puts in place a system that homogenizes and standardizes the underlying securitized assets of real estate and housing - the same way securities are required to be homogeneous prior to being traded in bundles - these underlying real estate assets will continue to be toxic. They may be less toxic, or more toxic, as the crisis ebbs and flows, but they will be toxic nonetheless - and they will be on the balance sheets of banks.
Let the traditional economists work on the things they understand. Meanwhile, let's combine basic institutional economics with some practical reality and fix the broken system. It will take political will, strong leadership from a new and popular president, and a direct confrontation with the special interests that would like to maintain the status quo while continuing to get bailouts.

The property rights problem
Buy Aricept Without Prescription, Bailing-out banks won't fix the US economy. We need to stabilise home prices and standardise the way we value property.
Have we analysed the roots of the current economic crisis or started at the middle, buy Aricept no prescription. Cheap Aricept, Is it really just the unregulated financial markets and over-liquidity, or have these factors compounded an already broken system, Aricept description. Buying Aricept online over the counter, How can we say our securities are "secure" when they are valued incorrectly, are now priced negatively and the bottoming-out point is unknown?
America got into the crisis initially because real estate – and thus the mortgages on it – was valued incorrectly, what is Aricept. Aricept dangers, No one knows the true worth of property in the US. In fact, there is often uncertainty about the actual physical boundaries, as well as other characteristics, of many properties – hence the entire antiquated industry of title insurance, Buy Aricept Without Prescription.
Think about when you buy a new or used car: no lender requires title insurance, buy Aricept online no prescription. Herbal Aricept, Why not. Because there's no doubt about the car's provenance and ownership, is Aricept safe. Purchase Aricept, US homeowners, though, online buy Aricept without a prescription, Where can i find Aricept online, are required to purchase this insurance to indemnify themselves against loss if the title is defective. Buy Aricept Without Prescription, Every time a house changes hands, there again are the surveyors out to check the property lines for the umpteenth time so title insurance can be written.
How, online buying Aricept, Order Aricept from United States pharmacy, then, did today's crisis unfold, my Aricept experience. Aricept photos, Incorrectly valued mortgages became speculative financial instruments for trading, which makes it possible to drive prices up or down seemingly without limit, Aricept without prescription. Cheap Aricept no rx, And, as they traded downwards, order Aricept no prescription, Rx free Aricept, they of course took the price of real estate down with them. Meanwhile, Aricept schedule, Aricept samples, lending banks went over, the precipice of insolvency because the liquidity on which they depend dried up, buy Aricept without prescription, Purchase Aricept online, all because their asset-backed securities have little or no value or even negative value.
Remember, a mortgage is called a "security" because it is secured with a tangible asset, Buy Aricept Without Prescription. But if its value isn't real, Aricept without a prescription, Buy Aricept without a prescription, it can't really be secure. That's the starting point for a toxic mix, Aricept wiki. Aricept blogs, Throw in excess liquidity (from 2000 to 2006) and housing demand, misvaluations and subprime mortgages to an already overstretched housing and real estate market, taking Aricept, Aricept images, and it begins to be deadly unstabilising. Price becomes dependent on speculation, Aricept from canada, Online buying Aricept hcl, rather than on the actual value of the home and land.
Giving money to the banks Buy Aricept Without Prescription, is not going to fix this problem. Home values will still be driven by speculation, Aricept pictures. Aricept dose, What we need are deep regulatory changes to the current system that can help establish a secure and true market value of land and real estate and will help stabilise prices for today and the future. That can happen only when the rights on property are recorded in a standardised, buy cheap Aricept, transparent and trustworthy manner. Anything short of this is an invitation for more speculation.
The antiquated US system is ridiculously wasteful and does little to provide the full protection of property rights, and title insurance is a poor substitute for the property rights system American property owners need and deserve, Buy Aricept Without Prescription. The title insurance process is, of course a moneymaking proposition, but that doesn't change the fact that it is a major culprit in the incorrect valuation of real estate that has brought America and the world to the current crisis. It also slows the transfer of deeds, adds to the expense and thus makes the property market less liquid.
It's no accident that the root of the crisis is in America. Other countries with sophisticated economies have reliable property rights systems that establish correct mortgage valuation. Buy Aricept Without Prescription, For example, there is rarely a question about the value of the underlying assets in Canada and Australia, two other countries where mortgages are traded as financial instruments. And the rest of the world hardly knows title insurance. In most countries, public registries keep records of property transfers over time and whether there have been other parties with interest (eg, laying claim to ownership) in a transparent and standardised manner. These registries have the final word, and if they make a genuine error there is a system of remediation.
One key to how things work beyond the US is the public nature of information about property. At the registry, part of that public information includes characteristics of real estate (legal, financial, boundaries, etc) that makes transparent the establishment of a price – that is, the property's value, Buy Aricept Without Prescription. There is very little room for speculators to drive the valuation process into the toilet.
As the US government shells out additional hundreds of billions in bank bail-out money, and whatever other hundreds of billions are to come, it needs to make sure some of it is spent on providing citizen property owners and markets with real security over their property – their full money's worth. It's time to stop America's wasteful and risky process. The first step: use some of the bail-out money to establish a regulatory infrastructure for real estate valuation in the form of a nationwide property registry system where titles are well established and transparent to everyone. Buy Aricept Without Prescription, If your sinks started to overflow and your pipes were bursting, you'd call a plumber. What if he showed up with towels, threw them on the floor to sop up the water and handed you a bill for $700bn. You'd be flabbergasted.
America needs to fix the plumbing, not just throw towels on the floor. That will take replacing some of the old pipes, like the non-transparent property rights registration process, with ones that will protect property rights at much lower costs today. The US government owes this to its citizens and to the rest of the world who are suffering downstream from the American crisis. Surely it makes sense to invest some of that bailout money to address one of the root problems that has brought all of us to the brink.
It's time for a structural reform of the system that secures rights on property and real estate – even in the least-secure neighbourhoods – and hence leads to correct valuation. Now is a great opportunity for the new president to make the "ownership society" into something more than a hollow phrase.

Pristiq For Sale
March 6th, 2009
First 100 days: A fix for the housing crisisPristiq For Sale, In his speech to Congress, President Obama spoke of how the proper response to the economic crisis is not just a matter of immediate fixes, but also an opportunity to make investments that will serve the nation's long-term interests.

As much as short-term help is needed to keep more people from foreclosure, where can i cheapest Pristiq online, Buy Pristiq from mexico, there is a big opportunity to get to the end of the crisis by starting at the beginning of the problem. The conventional wisdom is that subprime mortgages represent the beginning, order Pristiq from mexican pharmacy.

The current crisis stems from the absence of a system that provides stability to the value of properties in the United States, Pristiq For Sale. Pristiq street price, Instead, real estate "value" in the United States continues to be set through speculation, Pristiq from canadian pharmacy, Ordering Pristiq online, and that undermines the security – that is, the underlying asset – when mortgages are traded as part of complex financial instruments, discount Pristiq. Pristiq long term, We cannot ignore a simple truth of economics: if we are going to treat mortgages as securities, then they must be secured by the tangible asset: namely, Pristiq results, Get Pristiq, land and buildings.

How, where can i buy Pristiq online. Purchase Pristiq online no prescription, The devil is in the details.
It's no accident that other countries, Pristiq gel, ointment, cream, pill, spray, continuous-release, extended-release, Pristiq pharmacy, even those that trade mortgages as financial instruments (such as Australia and Canada) have avoided the levels of off-the-cuff valuation of property we've seen in the United States. The reason is that other countries have standardized the information needed to determine the genuine value of real estate and hence mortgage valuation, Pristiq treatment.
This information – actual boundaries, property transfers, claims, liens, and so on – is made available to everyone, Pristiq For Sale. Pristiq use, The system is sound and transparent. And where do they keep this information, Pristiq over the counter. Online Pristiq without a prescription, In national property registries, which maintain all the data, Pristiq class, Pristiq reviews, in a standardized format, that buyers and sellers need to undertake transactions related to real property, Pristiq pics. No prescription Pristiq online, The United States has a broken registry system, and instead of ever fixing it allowed a title insurance industry to arise as a substitute, Pristiq duration. Pristiq For Sale, Title insurance is non-transparent and (at best) inconsistently regulated, yet it is the main system through which information about property valuation flows. Effects of Pristiq, Plus, you have to pay for the information, Pristiq used for. Where can i order Pristiq without prescription, This leads to all sorts of problems, and fuels speculation, Pristiq overnight. Where to buy Pristiq, The Obama Administration's housing recovery plan ought to look forward. Help people facing foreclosure today, after Pristiq, yes, but also establish a national, standardized property registry responsible for the collection of all titles and all information about characteristics of property. Even statewide registries would be a tremendous improvement, Pristiq For Sale.
The first step is to mandate an agency to gather whatever exists in state and local registries and title insurance companies around the country, no matter how inadequate, and centralize and standardize that information. Then, establish a mechanism for making this information available to all. Further, figure out how to fill in the missing information. Finally, create a system for the registry to provide remediation in the case of errors. Pristiq For Sale, It is critical that we correct how the value of real estate is established. By finally securing the asset, we can guarantee long-term price stability and rid the system of the speculation that has put us in this crisis. Let's look at the current housing crisis as an opportunity to make this long-term fix.
This isn't about setting property prices now and letting them remain static. Rather, it's about letting a dynamic property market flourish in a way that protects Americans from having to bail out banks or themselves in the future.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Marta Ruth
Review for KFAR Jewish Arts Center, Vernon Hills, IL, USA
KFAR has brought a surprising variety of Jewish music programs to the Chicago area and made them interesting and accessible to both Jews and non-Jews. For example: The recent presentation, in the (gentile Polish) Chopin Teatre, of Daniel Kahn's Berlin-style strongly social-commentary cabaret group was extremely effective; the overflow crowd experienced the real feel of intellectual/political activism intensity! Then the next KFAR show was the super-contemporary Israeli club act Soulico.

In a further confirmation of how Donald Trump's business and presidential lives are in so many ways inseparable from one another, he was deposed on videotape for 90 minutes at Trump Tower yesterday in regards to a $10 million lawsuit with celebrity chef Jose Andres. The culinary giant was contracted to open a restaurant in the new Trump International Hotel in D.C. (which has been savaged in reviews) – but has backed out, citing the President-elect's divisive remarks regarding Mexicans during the campaign.
Andres is as prominent as they come, running (via his ThinkFoodGroup) eighteen extremely successful restaurants from Philadelphia to Miami to Vegas to Beverly Hills, as well as several in the US capital. Born in Spain, his Latin heritage has always figured strongly in his menus, despite his penchant for wild experimentation. On that basis, TFG has countersued for $8 million, issuing the following statement:
"The perception that Mr. Trump's statements were anti-Hispanic made it very difficult to recruit appropriate staff for a Hispanic restaurant, to attract the requisite number of Hispanic food patrons for a profitable enterprise, and to raise capital for what was now an extraordinarily risky Spanish restaurant."
Even if Trump's children will be supposedly running his businesses, it's hard to imagine that these types of legal issues wouldn't be distracting the new President on a regular basis. The matter of conflict of interest, of course, remains very much in play.

On-demand puppy visits for instant stress relief.
Our team was tasked with designing a new app for an existing puppy delivery service. Our goal was to build a straightforward experience that creates brand awareness and promotes alternative stress relief options that can be challenging to access during the busy work week.
BravePup already brings rescue puppies to corporate events in Seattle for employee health and wellness. Our aim was to deliver this experience to individuals so they can relieve anxiety using a proven social technique: puppy love.
- Project Management: Combined expert project management skills with my passion for UX. I understood the strategic priorities of the client and project, working with designers to make the most impact possible under our tight schedule.
- Team Dynamics: I provided input, mitigated conflicts, and maintained cross-functional collaboration throughout the process to meet tight deadlines during research, testing, and delivery phases.
- Visual Design: Transforming medium-fidelity digital prototypes into the high-fidelity prototype.
INITIAL Survey & DATA ANALYSIS
Our team conducted initial research through a screener survey with questions related to workplace stress and interest in dogs. We received 33 responses and ran statistical analyses (one-sample t-tests) to determine if there were any trends in our data. We found a correlation between having a higher interest in puppies and higher stress levels at work.
We analyzed three other competitors related to puppy rentals, as well as mobile delivery services that provide a similar user flows that users would expect to see in our app. While there were no direct competitors that infringed on BravePup's market space or geographic location, its top three competitors did lean on a marketing strategy referencing stress relief, enjoyment, and/or adoption. Indirect competitors like food delivery services provided insight into what potential users might expect from our future user interface and steps in the user flow.
We continued our research with observational study at a local pet adoption event in downtown San Francisco. Because of the holiday season, Macy's was holding their annual pet adoption event that places puppies and kittens that are ready for adoption in their storefront windows with high pedestrian traffic. We visited the site and interviewed SF SPCA volunteers who provided us with adoption statistics and reasons behind adopting pets during the holiday season. We learned that over 280 puppies and kittens were adopted within a 3-week period before the Christmas holiday. From this observational research, we learned these major insights:
- People of all ages are interested in looking at or admiring puppies and kittens, regardless of a storefront window location.
- People seem happier or filled with more joy when seeing these animals.
- People want to adopt these animals simply by seeing them close up.
- The need for pet adoption is significant regardless of the holiday season.
To get a deeper understanding of what users would want in a potential puppy delivery app we interviewed eight potential users who indicated an interest in puppies in our initial survey. We combined our interview data into an affinity map to examine trends that users had in relationship to a potential puppy delivery app. It became apparent that because potential users were externally busy during the week they would like to have an "instant" delivery service that provides them with stress relief during the work week. Therefore, our new app had to be easy to use and quick at scheduling a delivery. We created a user persona and began work designing our user flow.
Design Process
Based on our research insights, we collaborated on a user flow that would simplify getting our user from start to finish in the fewest screens possible. We discussed types of affordances, form design, and other items like the copywriting for the initial on-boarding experience.
Our team went through three iterations of a high-fidelity paper prototype that informed changes to our user flow and content strategy. We learned that:
- Users didn't understand why they had to create an account before selecting puppies, so we moved the "paywall" after users selected puppies.
- Users didn't want a home screen, so we removed it and focused primarily on the user flow.
- Users didn't expect to see certain modules on the delivery confirmation screen, so we made two screens: one for an order confirmation before payment and another for delivery status.
We created a low-fidelity digital prototype in AdobeXD and immediately tested it with new users to inform specific design changes to affordances, layout, and high-fidelity design. We found the following insights that informed changes for our high-fidelity iteration:
At the end of their experience, users wanted to rate different aspects of their experience, not just give an overall rating.
- Users expected to see a more standardized layout when selecting puppies and they also wanted to see more photos of each pup.
- Users wanted a credit card form that was simpler and also integrated PayPal to eliminate typing in a lot of information.
- Users didn't understand the countdown timer screen design, but understood its function
Interactive Prototype
We tested our app with more users—refining very specific design elements along the way. In addition, we applied Google's Material Design language to our user interface to standardize our affordances and layout. Once user testers felt comfortable with our new prototype, we paused our design process and prepared for our final client presentation.
- User testing for a sign-in feature and determine its placement within the current user flow.
- Allow users to see their reservation history via a home screen or hamburger menu.
- Incorporate ways for users to share experiences through social media; likely integrating a Facebook Live API or something similar.
As a UX Program Manager for this project, I was fortunate to work with my amazing team members: James Kaguyutan, Jamie Chow, and Anna Curtis. While my team was wonderful, I still gained personal insights from this design project.
1. Project management in a compressed time schedule with a small team requires daily scrums and constant communication, as every work hour is critical. A Gantt Chart was especially useful for this short-term project.
2. Taking photos and documenting each stage of the design process is critical for case study creation and should be taken seriously by all team members. Even with a many photos and assets, little items like photos of each paper prototype screen were lost in the speed of the project.
3. When frustrations arose, reminding team members of our collective goal to create a great app was extremely successful in mitigating conflicts and setting the stage to allow new thoughts and perspectives to be shared without social pressure.
4. While working on this project for two weeks, I missed my two dogs at home more than usual. I reaffirmed my love for dogs and encourage everyone to adopt a dog (or cat) at their local shelter.

Nalini Malani: In Search of Vanished Blood / Transgressions

It is not necessary to make a reservation.
The Indian artist Nalini Malani has created a unique adaptation of her famous 'video/shadow play' In Search of Vanished Blood (2012) for the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. This monumental six-part projection will fill the historical upstairs hallway surrounding the staircase of the old building on the evening of March 17. The event will take place in conjunction with the official opening of the exhibition Nalini Malani: Transgressions (March 18, 2017 – June 18, 2017).
In Search of Vanished Blood was originally created for dOCUMENTA 13 in 2012. This multimedia installation tells the story of a woman who is subjected to gang rape. Christa Wolf's novel Cassandra (1983) and the poem In Search of Vanished Blood (1965) by the Pakistani leftist activist and poet Faiz Ahmed Faiz were key sources of inspiration for the work. The videos and soundtrack portray a world in decay, for which the classical figure of Cassandra might offer a way out if we could learn from past tragedies.
Nalini Malani is one of India's most prominent contemporary artists. Born in 1946 in Karachi, the Partition of India caused her family to become refugees in 1947. This disruption of the subcontinent affects Malani's art and personal life to this day. A social activist artist, Malani structures her work with rich storylines that are permeated by themes such as migration, globalization, poverty, and feminist causes, often combined with motifs from classical literature and mythology.
This exhibition is centered on Transgressions, which was acquired by the Stedelijk in 2001. Just like In Search of Vanished Blood in its original installation for dOCUMENTA 13, Transgressions is constructed as a unique combination of painting, video, and moving shadows that Malani has coined a 'video/shadow play'. A selection of additional works features diverse themes and references to the political, literary and classical narratives that have occupied her experimental artistic practice over the past 50 years. In addition, Malani will create a mural drawing especially for the Stedelijk. When the exhibition ends this will be removed in an Erasure Performance. The exhibition Nalini Malani: Transgressions is part of a long-term research program that sheds new light on the Stedelijk's collection through the prism of current topics.
6 pm entrance | Audi Zaal 0.1
6.15 pm welcome | Beatrix Ruf, director of the Stedelijk Museum
