Residents of five small communities in southeast Nicaragua are betting that the forests, wetlands, and wildlife in their backyards could become one of the country's popular tourist attractions. Since they have limited economic opportunities, income from tourism could help their families, as well as their natural resources, flourish.
But how does a farmer become an innkeeper? The Bluefields Indian and Caribbean University (BICU), a consortium of six local organizations, is stepping in with training courses, part of a new project called "Ecotourism Development in Mahogany's Municipal Wetlands Ecological Park." While it does not yet have official legal status, this 108-square mile park was proposed by officials in the nearby towns of Bluefields and Rama to protect internationally important wetlands, which serve as stopovers and feeding grounds for migratory waterfowl, and as nurseries for fish species like the Central American rainbow bass, known as guapote (Cichlasoma dovii), and tarpon (Megalops atlanticus). The proposed park also forms part of three ecologically important reserves: Southeast Biosphere Reserve, the Punta Gorda Natural Reserve, and the Indio Maíz Biological Reserve.
Marcos González, director of BICU's Biodiversity and Environmental Studies Institute, says that the maze of forested and aquatic protected areas suffer from indiscriminate hunting, slash-and-burn farming, and overfishing. "The idea is to develop ecotourism as a conservation tool in the zone," he explains. "It is inevitable that the need to conserve will clash with the need to make a living, so we want to give an option to communities to obtain financial benefits while continuing to conserve."
About 250 families live near the park, in the communities of Boca Mahogany, Belén, Paraíso, Magnolia, and Sisi, where they grow barely enough crops to support themselves, and have limited access to potable water. With no roads in the area, they must navigate the Escondido River and its tributaries by boat.
Staff of the ecotourism project, which began in March 2004, plan to first focus on 20 local farms, helping families improve their production and reforestation activities. The project also includes an environmental education component aimed at both visitors and local communities. Since tourism may have an impact on the park's wildlife, rivers, and streams, project staff will also survey and monitor the park's fauna population and water quality.
Another objective, González notes, is to create interpretive trails so that visitors and local people can learn about the forest's medicinal plants, rare orchids, and principal hardwood trees. There are also plans to build a visitor's center, to be managed by park guards.
To ensure that local communities directly benefit from tourism, González says the project will train residents in how to host visitors, provide guest rooms in their homes, and give tours of the nearby forests, rivers, and wetlands. Visitors could also elect to pitch in and help with farm work and daily chores. Kayaking and sportfishing are other options.
The project's budget also includes funds to buy equipment and provide support for the Community Park Guards of Mahogany, currently an all-volunteer group working with very basic gear. The three-year project is supported by the Critical Ecosystems Partnership Fund, a joint initiative of Conservation International, the Global Environment Facility, the Government of Japan, the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation and the World Bank.
Alejandro Álvarez, coordinator of Conservation International's Costa Rica-Nicaragua region, emphasizes that the project is not promoting large-scale ecotourism development, but it does hope to take advantage of the natural resources found in a biologically important area in order to generate social well-being.
According to Álvarez, while small-scale farmers have been greatly affected by free market agreements and cannot make a profit with their crops and livestock, ecotourism is profitable and has huge potential in Nicaragua.
González agrees, acknowledging that although visitation in the area is currently quite low, Mahagony Park's natural attractions and its strategic location between the two main cities of Bluefields and Rama are promising. In addition, the Nicaraguan Tourism Institute is interested in promoting the region and has included it in its national tourism plan.
Álvarez adds, "The area has a lot of tourism potential if you know how to exploit it correctly and give it the attention it needs. In about 10 years it could be one of the largest tourism attractions in the country, as long as there is political will to invest in the region."

re: "Naomi Klein defines crony capitalism as "politicians handing over public wealth to private players in exchange for political support." I suppose it could be taken as a sign of the meaninglessness of our political process in its current corrupted state that our two dominant political parties are presenting us with presidential candidates representing each side of the transaction this election cycle."
Naomi Klein understands the difference between laissez faire capitalism and crony capitalism which continues as the corruption brought to us by Woodrow Wilson and his Federal Reserve Bank:
"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated governments in the civilized world. No longer a government by free opinion, no longer a government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."
~ Woodrow Wilson
Trump claims Yellen will be OUT and Federal Reserve bank will be audited when he wins. (This is very frightening to people who don't understand but depend on government money).
Clinton claims the Federal Reserve will NOT get an audit, will have fewer bankers and white people.
Steins "Democratization" the Federal Reserve could be called "decentralization" as she proposes the 12 central banking branches get more power, as if that's what we all need; Local bankers acting as IRS and government agents.
Johnson is a Federal Reserve apologist and why some Liberatarians don't support him.

Take a Good Look at Big Whiskey's Restaurant Franchise
Big Whiskey's American Restaurant & Bar is quickly becoming one of the most sought after restaurant franchises in America. And for good reason!
In the 10 years since we opened our first casual dining restaurant in downtown Springfield MO, we've built a loyal following by offering excellent food & drinks that are moderately priced and served by well-trained, friendly people in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.
How is that different than other franchise restaurants? By working for other national chains, our founders realized they could offer better food, bigger portions and lower prices all in an atmosphere that truly makes a guest feel welcome. We celebrate sports but we're not a sports bar. We celebrate our excellent bar products, but we're not a bar. We're a restaurant that does all that with a strong net revenue percentage proven year after year.
We now have 7 restaurants/bars operating successfully in the Midwest. Our first franchisee opened in Bentonville, AR on March 10 and is already setting new sales records. Our second franchisee opened in Kansas City (Lee's Summit) on May 19th and has experienced similar success. BW's first free-standing corporate location will open in August 2017 in Republic, MO. And we recently awarded an area development franchise in Las Vegas. Obviously, we're on a roll!

Chrysler is bringing back the purple color on the street with its latest Dodge Challenger and announced the return of the Plum Crazy color in its limited production run of the muscle car.
The R/T Classic and SRT8 versions will have the Plum color, complete with matching or contrasting Katzkin leather seats.
In a press release, Ralph Gilles, Dodge Brand CEO, said that the new Plum Crazy R/T Classic and SRT8 feature more than just memorable blast-from-the-past design cues and HEMI engines. He said that they also exude the very core of Dodge Challenger's roots.
He said that the new Plum Crazy limited-edition models pay homage to Challenger's heritage while delivering the passion and excitement Dodge fans and customers demand.
For the R/T Classic Plum Crazy edition, the customer can choose either the dual throwback A-line body-side R/T stripes in matte black or new bright white on the body.
Also featured are Challenger fender badges in classic script, large 20-inch polished-chrome heritage wheels with all-season performance tires, classic egg-crate grille with heritage "R/T" badge, body-color rear spoiler, functional hood scoop and chromed fuel-filler door.
The Challenger boasts to have the 5.7l HEMI V8 engine, allowing it to produce 376 hp and 410 lb'-ft of torque. The Plum is able to go from zero to 60mph in 6 seconds. This version has a MSRP of $35,140.
On the other hand, the high-performance SRT8 has the 6.1-liter HEMI V8, and develops 425 hp and 420 lb.-ft of torque. It has the same modifications as the previous version and comes with exterior-matching SRT performance seats with Plum Crazy accented stripe.
SRT8 has an MSRP of $44,155. Production is scheduled to begin in November at the Brampton Assembly plant in Brampton, Ontario. Orders are now being received for the two limited edition Challengers.

The IATSE Entertainment and Exhibition Industries Training Trust Fund ("IATSE Training Trust Fund", "TTF") was born in order to create a vehicle to advance the skills and safety of IATSE workers. The IATSE Craft Advancement Program committee (ICAP) was formed shortly after the IATSE 66th Quadrennial Convention. This committee, which existed prior to the creation of the Training Trust Fund, promotes safety and skills training among other things. Out of the work and foresight of that committee, the Training Trust Fund started to take shape.
On June 22, 2011, DADCO and I.A.T.S.E. signed the agreement to create the IATSE Entertainment and Exhibition Industries Training Trust Fund, an ERISA and Taft Hartley Labor Management Training Fund. This date marks the birth of the IATSE Training Trust Fund. The TTF is a 501c9 tax exempt organization.
Today, the IATSE Training Trust Fund continues to build on the original vision and is creating the infrastructure, supports and programs to advance the skills and safety of IATSE workers.

The 8th district of Paris follows the great axis from the Louvre to the Place de la Concorde and continues outside the classified area to the Champs Elysées, opening royally toward the Arc de Triomphe.
Place de la Concorde and surrounding area
Place de la Concorde
75008 Paris
Metro station: Concorde
Changed from Place Louis XV in 1755, then to Revolution Square, and finally to Place de la Concorde, it symbolizes reconciliation and national harmony. The largest square in Paris, it became, just after the Revolution, a trendy place for public execution. Louis XVI, Marie-Antoinette, Danton and Robespierre were all guillotined there.
In the mid-19th century it took its current appearance, drawn by Louis-Philippe. The obelisk was given by the Pasha (viceroy) of Egypt. 3,300 years old, this monumental obelisk covered with hieroglyphics is 23 meters high as was erected in 1836. It took four years to arrive in France from Luxor.
Two monumental fountains adorned with mermaids and goldfish decorate the square: the Fontaine des Mers (Fountain of the seas) and the Fontaine des Fleuves (Fountain of the rivers) celebrate maritime and river navigation. It is composed of eight statues representing eight French cities.
Located at the foot of the Champs-Elysées, the square is now surrounded by prestigious hotels and fits nicely within the urban plan, respecting the view from the Tuileries to the Arc de Triomphe. Lighting up the dark in the age of electricity, the then prestigious square became a symbol of the City of Light.
Eglise de Sainte Marie Madeleine (Church of Saint Mary Magdalene)
Place de la Madeleine, 75008 Paris
Website - tel: 01 44 51 69 00
Metro station: Madeleine
Open daily: 9:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
This sanctuary houses the revered relics of Saint Mary Magdalene, witness of the resurrection of Christ and announcer to the apostles.
The first church dedicated to Mary Magdalene dates back to 1492. The reconstruction of the church was decided in 1757, and was completed in 1842. Its appearance is more reminiscent of an ancient Greek temple than a church. Indeed, during its construction Napoleon made it a mausoleum for the Grand Army. Very far from the standards of the churches of the time, it has neither crosses nor outside bells but many Corinthian columns and two monumental gates. The construction of this monument was part of the vast global development plan of the west side of the capital, including the Place de la Concorde.
The church houses a magnificent Cavaillé-Coll organ. Concerts at night.
The Palais
Petit Palais - Museum of Fine Arts
Avenue Winston Churchill, 75008 Paris
Website - tel: 01 53 43 40 00

The Petit Palais is a gem of late 19th century architecture. Built like its neighbor, the Grand Palais, for the World's Fair of 1900, it now houses the Museum of Fine Arts of the City of Paris. In addition to the undeniable charm of the building, it is the interior that surprises visitors.
Composed of paintings and sculptures from the early 20th century and celebrating the Art and the City of Paris, it took 20 years to complete its decoration. The entrance hallway is decorated with four panels: Mysticism, Physique, Thought and Matter. In the Great Gallery, the history of Paris is illustrated, from Antiquity to the French Revolution. Another mural tells the story of modern Paris. The decorated ceilings of the pavilions celebrate famous intellectual triumphs and women. The Dutuit Dome traces the history of French art, and is decorated with portraits of artists and their works. You will also notice the beautiful stained glass windows at the entrance rotunda and the large mosaic pavement created by the famous Italian artist Facchina. Finally, the interior garden invites you to take a well-deserved break among the female figures symbolizing the seasons.
The museum's collections span from antiquity to the 20th century and have a wide variety of works: paintings, sculptures and objets d'art. The ancient and medieval collections are presented alongside the works of the French and Italian Renaissance, as well as Flemish and Dutch works. The Petit Palais hosts a magnificent collection of French paintings from the 19th century from the greatest artists of the time (Delacroix, Monet, Sisley, Renoir, Toulouse-Lautrec, Courbet).
Grand Palais

The Grand Palace was built for the World's Fair of 1900, a showcase for arts meant to demonstrate the vitality of contemporary art in all its forms (exhibitions, cultural events, concerts, art market). Its architecture, iron and stone, made particularly impressive by the monumental glass of the nave, the largest in Europe. The monument also houses the Palace of Discovery and the National Gallery, homage to other forms of creativity: cultural, scientific and technical.
A self-guided family tour consists of questions for children and parents, a fun and creative way to discover this wonderful building.

Children can participate in workshops and attend scientific lectures in which they conduct experiments.
In The Surrounding Area
The Champs Elysees (outside the perimeter of the World Heritage site)
Who does not know of the street some call "the most beautiful avenue in the world," which connects the Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe? The development of this boulevard began under Louis XIV, and we owe its beauty to André Le Nôtre, landscape architect who created the gardens of Versailles.
But it was only from the 19th century onward that the Champs Elysées became a district composed of luxurious mansions and beautiful gardens. It is situated near the Place de la Concorde, between the Grand Palais and the Palais de l'Elysée, residence of the presidents of the French Republic. The English gardens, laid out in in 1859, are lit by chandeliers, and fountains and groves make it a privileged walking path.
Today the street is lined with prestigious hotels, fashion boutiques, restaurants, cinemas, and large, prosperous companies, making it a temple of shopping for high-end consumers.
Arc de Triomphe (outside the perimeter of the World Heritage site)
Place Charles de Gaulle, 75008 Paris
- tel: 01 55 37 73 77
Metro station: Charles de Gaulle - Etoile
Full price / reduced price: €12 / €9. Free for EU citizens under 26 years old (free for non-EU citizens under 18 years old)
Open daily. April through September: 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. ; October to March: 10 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.
A certified "Tourism and Handicap" location. Classified as a National Monument.
The Arc de Triomphe was completed in 1836 under Louis Philippe. It is dedicated to the armies of the Revolution and the Empire. Its architect (Jean-François Chalgrin) was inspired by the ancient Arch of Titus, but in monumental proportions: 50 meters high and 45 meters long. At its base, the flame of remembrance recalls the presence of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, buried here in 1921. From the 19th century onward, the Arc de Triomphe became a national symbol and the location of patriotic ceremonies. The sculptures that adorn it are the work of renowned artists: Cortot, Etex and Rude.

Movie Info:IMDB
Money Monster (2016) English 300MB Download Free Movie
Directed By: Jodie Foster
Release Date: 13 May 2016
Length: 1 Hours 35 Minutes
Genre: Crime | Drama | Thriller
Starcast: George Clooney, Julia Roberts, Jack O'Connell, Dominic West, Caitriona Balfe, Giancarlo Esposito
Television financial guru Lee Gates (George Clooney) is in the midst of airing the latest edition of his show, "Money Monster." Less than 24 hours earlier, IBIS Clear Capital's stock inexplicably cratered, apparently due to a glitch in a trading algorithm, costing investors $800 million. Lee planned to have IBIS CEO Walt Camby (Dominic West) appear for a softball interview about the crash, but Camby unexpectedly left for a business trip in Geneva.
Midway through the show, a deliveryman wanders onto the set, pulls a gun and takes Gates hostage, and forces him to put on a vest laden with explosives.[4] The "deliveryman" is laborer Kyle Budwell (Jack O'Connell), who invested $60,000—his entire life savings, inherited from his deceased mother—in IBIS after Lee endorsed the company a month earlier on the show. Kyle was wiped out along with the other investors, and now wants answers. Unless he gets them, he will blow up Lee before killing himself. Once police are notified, they discover that the receiver to the bomb's vest is located over Lee's kidney. The only way to destroy the receiver—and with it, Kyle's leverage—is to shoot Lee and hope he survives.
With the help of longtime director Patty Fenn (Julia Roberts), Lee tries to calm Kyle down and get him some answers. Camby is nowhere to be found, and Kyle is not satisfied when both Lee and IBIS chief communications officer Diane Lester (Caitriona Balfe) offer to compensate him for his financial loss. He also is not satisfied by Diane's insistence that the algorithm is to blame. Diane is not satisfied by her own explanation either, and decides to contact the programmer who created the algorithm for answers, reaching a man in Seoul. The programmer insists that an algorithm could not take such a large, lopsided position unless a human meddled with it.
In the meantime, the police find Kyle's pregnant girlfriend and allow her to talk to Kyle through a video feed. When she learns that he lost everything, she viciously berates him before the police cut the feed. Lee, seemingly taking pity on Kyle, agrees to help Kyle discover what went wrong.

Okay, so I signed up with a coupon and got $15 off.
They ask you some questions about your style and they offer three choices. Business Casual, T-Shirt and Jeans and Dress to Impress. What they don't tell you is the last category is actually a blending of the first two. So I picked the last and got two t-shirt and a hoodie. I was underwhelmed and told customer service and what was delivered would impress no one. They have a policy of no returns unless you are adjusting for sizing. Well as luck would have it the clothes fit me perfectly (XXL) and since my brother has the same body type and a birthday that he should enjoy the hoodie and one t-shirt.
So I had them change my style profile to Business Casual and I told them no more hoodies ever!
All I can do is wait until next month and see what that brings.
Time will tell.
So overall they did not do great, but not badly either. Is it value for what you are spending? Possibly? They included an invoice that described the pricing. They charged $38 for each t-shirt and $60 for the hoodie. So the box was worth (in their minds) $136 plus $10 shipping. But since I'm a club member the shipping charge was waived. Also if I want to go to their website and purchase anything I will get a discount. Was the T-shirt that I kept worth it? Yep!
I look forward to reading your review

|The following is based on Fallout 2 cut content and has not been confirmed by canon sources.
Pop Rocks is a cut item from Fallout 2.
An unopened bag of a tasty carbonated candy made of sugar, lactose (more sugar), corn syrup (even more sugar), and flavoring. It is rumored that when mixed with drinks like Nuka Cola one's stomach would explode.
It was originally supposed to appear in the Environmental Protection Agency building, but was cut from the final game along with the corresponding content.[1]
Pop Rocks was to appear in Fallout 2, but was cut from the final game.
Behind the scenesEdit
The death from Pop Rocks and Nuka-Cola is a reference to the urban myth that eating Pop Rocks and drinking cola will cause enough carbonation to make a kid's stomach explode. In a popular version of the myth, the character "Little Mikey" (played by [still living] actor John Gilchrist) of an iconic "Life" cereal commercial is said to have died this way.

The talented Anjali deservedly got the Filmfare 'best actress' award for her mind-blowing performance in the film 'Angaadi Theru'. The film, which was released last year, not only turned out to be a commercially success film but was also praised high by the print and television media. The film is said to be the 'best effort' as on date by its director Vasanthabalan.
The surprise package of the film was without doubt its heroine Anjali, for whom it was a once-in-a-lifetime role. The bubbly actress sank her teeth into the meaty role that she was presented with in the film and made full use of her expressive eyes in emotional sequences. The fact that she dubbed in her own voice for the film only added to her riveting performance in the film.
Last weekend, Anjali stood speechless for a few moments when called up to come on stage to collect her Filmfare award for 'best actress'. Though she has done only a handful of films in Tamil, she is already being mentioned as an actress with 'great potential' who can match up to the likes of yesteryear's actresses Suhasini, Saritha and Revathy.
Slightly nervous and excited, Anjali said that the award meant that the evening had become an 'unforgettable' one for her. Clad in figure-hugging red dress, the actress said she felt very happy that her performance had been noted and appreciated by one and all. In the same vein, she added that her happiness would have doubled had the film ('Angaadi Theru') too won the 'best film' award.
She said all the fame, awards and appreciation she was getting for her role in the film belongs to Vasanthabalan, the director, and added that the latter had a 'knack' of getting the best out of his actors. She also recalled the crash-course in speaking in the 'Tirunelveli-dialect' that she underwent prior to the start of the film's shooting.

Toronto Raptors all-star Kyle Lowry watched from the front row, in his Marcus Stroman jersey, as the Blue Jays roared past Texas on Sunday and into the American League Championship Series.
The Raptors are no casual fans of their Toronto baseball "brothers," and coach Dwane Casey applauds his players' support of the Jays' thrilling playoff run.
"Winning is contagious and I said this the other night at our team dinner," Casey said. "It's great for us to experience the Blue Jays winning, for the guys to go to the games and feel the passion that the fans have, and winning. There's a pride in that.
"I feel it for the Blue Jays. The players feel it and hopefully (the Jays) felt it for us. Anything we can do to be a part of that, to go see it, to watch it, to have something to pull for, it's great for us, it's great for the city."
The Raptors practised at the BioSteel Centre on Wednesday, and much of the post-practice talk was about baseball. The Jays next face Cleveland, the city that dispatched the Raptors in the playoffs. According to ESPN SportsCenter, it's the first time the same two cities have faced off in the semifinals of the MLB and NBA playoffs in the same year.
The Raptors and Jays, who play a couple of blocks from each other in downtown Toronto, have become tight. When the Raptors' historic playoff run took them all the way to an Eastern Conference final date with the Cavaliers last spring, the Jays were in attendance. The Raptors have responded in kind.
"It's crazy, man," said forward DeMarre Carroll. "Just to see how the city gets behind their team, we feel like the Blue Jays are kind of like our brothers, we want them to go as far or further than we went. We have to stick together and I feel like: one team, one country. That's the motto we have to take and the Blue Jays are doing real good now and hopefully it doesn't stop there and they can win a World Series."
Carroll grew up playing baseball. He made reporters guess his position — catcher.
"Come on, now. Junk Yard Dog," he said, laughing. "I like the rugged, I like to be in there getting hit by a bat or a baseball, being in every play. Throwing it to second, the guy sliding into you, that's the kind of stuff I like. I feed off that.
"I was kind of short growing up and then I hit this growth spurt and my knees started bothering me so I couldn't play (baseball) no more."
There's an organic connection between American athletes playing in a Canadian city, said star guard DeMar DeRozan. It's also natural for athletes to cheer for each other.
"In some way, shape or form all athletes aspire to be other athletes," he said. "It makes you automatically fans of it. Think about, if you're playing around, if we've got a baseball out back, we go out there and say we're trying to be Barry Bonds or something. Whoever it may be, we try to make a comparison. I'm pretty sure other sports do the same. They pick up a basketball, go in the gym, and think they're a professional basketball player."
The Jays have also given the Raptors a welcome reprieve during the grind of training camp and the pre-season.
"Sometimes you want to get out of your element of being so caught up, and stressed over your own job, you want to be able to cheer on somebody else's profession, in your own city, and watch them perform instead of you worrying about the preparation, you going against your own opponent," DeRozan said. "Now we get to sit back, relax and enjoy."
The Raptors are in Cleveland to take on LeBron James and the Cavs in exhibition action Thursday, then host Argentine team San Lorenzo de Almagro on Friday in their only pre-season game at the Air Canada Centre.
The Jays open their best-of-seven ALCS on Friday in Cleveland.

More Women Than Men Getting College Degrees
May 12, 2000
- Although men are going to college in greater numbers than ever, women are now earning at least 130,000 more bachelor's degrees every year than are men.
- Women now outnumber men in graduate schools -- and they are closing in on male majorities in professional schools.
- College women still get more degrees in the social sciences and the liberal arts.
- Even in business, women go into finance, accounting and human resources, rather than sales, marketing and manufacturing.
Experts see at least two important implications in these trends.
Ray Hilgert, professor of management and industrial relations at Washington University, notes that by concentrating on liberal arts, women are setting themselves up for jobs which pay less than those that men are educating themselves for. He calls this "the glass wall" effect -- self imposed and compounded when women have children and decide to drop out of the work force, even temporarily.
Secondly, the soaring numbers of women graduates could translate into a population in which women are substantially better educated than men. David C. Geary, a professor of psychology at the University of Missouri at Columbia, contends that women will face a shrinking "mating pool" of educated males to select from. He foresees that "the competition for the men who are going to do very well will be very intense." Options for women who lose out, he says, will be to marry men of lesser attainments and prospects than their own -- or not to marry at all.

EducationSophomore Economics/Political Science Major at Columbia University
ExperienceI have significant experience teaching high school students, as I volunteer for an organization called Peer Health Exchange, which aims to teach health programs in high schools that cannot afford their own.
SAT scores: 700 Math, 750 Writing, 710 Reading
AP classes completed: Calculus AB, Calculus BC, French, US History, English
I love teaching and working with younger students. I never get impatient and I am very good at finding new and creative ways to explain myself. I am very organized and I understand firsthand the difficulties of adopting productive study skills, so I am happy to help students find ways to better manage their time. I believe that tutoring is an incredibly rewarding experience, and I will try to impart my enthusiasm to learning to every student I meet.
Previous jobs: I worked in my freshman year of college as a research assistant for Graciela Chichilnisky, an esteemed Economics professor at Columbia University and architect of the Kyoto Protocol.
In High School I worked for three years at Wilbur's of Maine, a locally owned chocolate and candy store.
HobbiesI love being outdoors--particularly hiking, biking, skiing, and kayaking. I'm equally in love with the city (I left my hometown on the coast of Maine for it) and my favorite weekend activity is finding new, fun ways to take advantage of all New York has to offer. One of my favorite hobbies is singing, both on my own and in choir. I was an avid figure skater throughout high school--I have unfortunately lost the time for it in college, but I still love to watch and occasionally take a trip to Bryant park to skate. I'm also a big baseball fan and I'm obsessed with classic literature.

He also appeared on MGK's Lace Up. An EP, The Afterglow, followed in 2014.

My leash broke while getting worked over on a closeout last weekend sending my wrv longboard almost all the way to the beach. I was pretty far out and I have to admit that I was a little sketched out about about swimming back in through the rips to retrieve it so I asked a buddy to keep an eye on me - just in case. I can swim OK but you know. He gave me a lecture that I shouldn't be out if I'm afraid of drowning, which I probably deserved.
It got in my head about two things:
1. What's the best swimming training besides the pool, which I will do?
2. and what's the best leash to buy to prevent such things.
I know that even some of the best surfers don't go out alone in case something like that happens.
I had the Bully leash for about a year and some people tell me leashes should be replaced because of how the ocean breaks them down.

But for surfing rules, besides the normal closest to the peak, don't drop in stuff is ALWAYS HELP OTHER SURFERS. Even if I don't know someone I always look out for them and make sure they make it in ok. If I am on the beach I get their board to them. If someone breaks a leash and I have a spare on me I lend it to them. Why? Because if anything bad happens to me I hope that there are people looking out for me in case...
People got to stop with the arrogance!
Oh and by the way, I normally surf with FCS comp leashes. They are not durable at all but do the trick in head high and smaller surf and don't get in the way. For bigger days i just use normal FCS leashes. They break all the time but that is just how it goes. Just stay cool and calm and go with the flow.

Make it your mission in life to become more comfortable in the water. Combine that with the basics of how to avoid the most turbulent water, be they rips, or impact zone. Finally, remember to put your feet down. If you are making no progress towards the beach, don't fight it, swim parallel to the beach towards breaking waves, not away from them. Rips are most prevelant in deep water where waves don't break.

1. aerobic training... swim, run, bike, eliptical... anything to get the heart rate up and keep it there. Swimming in the ocean, of course, is the best.
2. I like FCS and Dakine. I use comp leashes mostly, but a good big wave leash will take a good stretching and hang in there. If there's an argument for rinsing your board, it's to slow the inevitable deterioration of your leash... particularly the leash loop and swivel.
I like the "always help others" attitude. Growing up on boats and boards, it's just natural to me to think that way... second nature.

to the OP: i agree w/ what everyone is saying about getting more comfortable in the water. swim, swim, swim...the more cardio you do, the better! leash breakage happens, & not always at the most opportune moment. you should be prepared to swim for your board at any moment. i think a lot of people forget that the leash is a convenience, not a safety device.
that said, i've had the best luck w/ creatures of leisure leashes. never broken a single one of them, though i have seen it happen. i have one 6' comp leash that i bought back in 2008 that's gotta be pushing 7' by now...countless trips to hatteras, a trip to panama, up & down the nj coast, this thing's seen it all.

I surfed without a leash saturday and sunday. It broke and I was lazy. I got caught in a rip saturday and I got a little sketched. I swam out of it and was fine. My only advice is never panic and manage your anxiety. The cool thing was that the board got caught in the same rip so as I was swimming to the shore it was on its way to me.
Sep 11, 2012, 02:13 PM #9
How good of a buddy is he? Any good friend would want to make sure his buddy is ok, especially in bigger surf. I have had my leash break before, and chasing down a board while 3-5 OH set waves are crashing down on your head is no fun.
Sep 11, 2012, 02:20 PM #10
I think what your buddy was trying to tell you is that if you are so uncomfortable in the water, you need to get yourself to a point where that fear goes away. Like other said, conditioning and experience.

If you go back to the 1950s or 1960s scholars would be talking about caste with the assertion that this institution of caste must go away… Despite the particular methodological framework from which these scholars spoke or despite their diverse ideologies, they seemed to share this one idea: in the long run caste will disappear, caste must go away.
Today we are talking about how to preserve caste. This is a terrible thing to be faced with. It is as if the system of learning in the social sciences has almost gone one full circle. And this is something I want you to think about very seriously. Today we are faced with a situation where it is being suggested to us that caste is important.
Let me just tell you why I think caste as an institution must come to an end.
Firstly, caste is a pre-modern institution that is seeking to re-run, rejuvenate, adapt, in the modern world and as a result it is running into huge problems. India is not the only society that has a system like this -- China had caste. Europe had a caste system. They came out of it. They didn't try to deify it and valorise it. Today the core category for them is that of citizens. Ranade and others in India were actually making the argument that we needed a social revolution. But there never was one and as a result, we just carried our baggage of caste lock, stock and barrel into modernity.
Secondly, caste is a closed system of hierarchy, a closed institution. You might try to go up or down but the fact of the matter is that it is always your birth that seems to suggest to you what particular caste you are. And this is a terrible, terrible indictment of a system that refuses to imagine that people can overcome the positions or disadvantages that their birth might have offered them.
Thirdly caste is an institution that promotes social exclusion. I'm all the time working out ways in my mind of how to protect my caste identity. To do that I must constantly engage myself in all sorts activities that promote a sense of "you and me are not the same." Yes, we sit together and talk together, but we are not the same. And we promote exclusion in very sophisticated ways…
Fourthly, caste is basically a way of undermining a human being in terms of their status as a human being. And this is the most crippling condition that we live with in Indian society. Let's just think for a while about the pervasiveness of this phenomenon, how does it represent itself to us? (And caste is not a conspiracy; it is very much a part and parcel of our society. I firmly believe that the day we as Indians, especially young people, can reflect and critically interrogate this phenomenon, then there is a possibility that we can overcome it.)
But I would like to show you how we can carry with us images, self-representations and collective representations of caste...
Look at how naturally we accept that there is somebody who comes and cleans our toilets every day in the morning. Have you ever thought of that? We use those toilets and we use those bathrooms, without even a single moment something crossing our mind saying "Who cleaned this today?" There's someone cleaning toilets up at Rashtrapati Bhavan too and that fellow is an untouchable, somebody who is seen as unclean.
Gandhi made it clear to all the inmates of the Wardha ashram that you manage your own shit, learn to manage your own dirt. Nobody remembers this about Gandhi today. Nobody remembers that Gandhi was telling these caste men that your problem is at the level of your psychology. Change that. That was Gandhi's message but we so comfortably kept it aside.
Each of us are embodiments of caste consciousness. How? Each of us has been socialized in systems of exclusion. From the time we are born, the larger group around us is basically socializing us into the consciousness of caste. And before you know it, we are told – "Don't speak to that person, don't go with that person, and don't go into that area." – and it is so amazing that this socialization of caste happens so casually. We are talking about an institution that is embedded in us when we are so defenceless, as children. How can we as mothers and fathers bring up children in a world where there is no caste? This to me is the greatest project that we can take up.
I want you now to think of how education reproduces caste. If you look at sociology as a discipline, for example, we have so skilfully constructed a discourse that is always about the 'other'. Right from the time you learn about sanskritisation in 1st year of junior college you learn about sociology as a study of 'the other'. If I speak about caste, I will always speak of caste as the other, there. So caste is in Aurangabad, caste is in Bihar. Here, I'll keep quiet, because you see, what we each of us do as scholars, as teachers, as students is that we very skilfully separate the private and public domains of caste discourse. So in public I will speak about caste as something that must be done away with, that caste is bad. In private, I'll try to work out how to get my daughter married to a member of the same caste. And I'm doing this whether I'm a Dalit or a non-Dalit. Why? Because I want to reproduce caste…
Caste is a form of capital. It is not just somebody parading out their identity. One can actually achieve benefits out of caste. And I'm not only talking about reservation benefits – that is perhaps the most obvious thing. For example, have you ever figured out how caste works in a marketplace? It is amazing how it is possible for a community to control a particular kind of trade in such a way that an outsider will never enter. And if he does, he will not succeed. The caste system helps to corner resources… When a certain caste person becomes, for example, an IAS officer, others feel "now our man is there, we've got entry there". Caste as capital basically shows how an entire opportunity structure comes to get constructed around the caste identity.
This brings me to the next point which is talking about caste as an ideology. Caste as an ideology has two kinds of developments that seem to go parallel. When the upper castes talk about caste as an ideology, it is caste as a represented in the world of the private. At the level of the lower castes, caste is always a public announcement in which the lower castes have always been placing caste 'out there' as an object of interrogation.
If you look at the journey caste has gone through from the 1920s onwards when Ambedkar was talking about that famous work of his, Annihilation of Caste, we've had movements that lower castes have taken up to fight against caste. And I've often wondered to myself when lower caste people fight against caste and attack caste are they doing it because they want to eradicate caste, or are they doing it because they want to belong to an upper caste?
And I must say with a lot of reservation, in India the Dalit movement has been hijacked by those who believe that they can emancipate themselves of caste by using caste. And I think there's a terrible dilemma here and that dilemma basically is that once you work with a category of caste, it becomes very difficult now to think of a language of modernity. Which is why I started with the assertion that caste is a pre-modern institution. A language of modernity is a language of universals, and the moment I start to say only Mahars, only Chamars, only Mangs, I am actually reproducing the very same structures of oppression that I'm trying to fight.
There is this persistent attempt on the part of caste identity to reinvent itself in a discourse of emancipation, but the very moment of its reinvention is also the moment of its betrayal. We might have a dalit, one day, who might stand up and say look we don't want this reservation, stop it, stop treating us like victims, we're not victims -- that would be a moment of great emancipation.
Why have we arrived at the situation where we are now almost at home with the idea of preserving caste? We are not incensed, disturbed or outraged anymore. And I think that the answer to this lies in the fact that we have today in the 21st century, in an era of globalization, we have been successful in creating an ideology of caste that is at home with the idea of globalization and liberalization. Ironically, because of liberalisation, caste and class have got merged. We are not a class society as yet, we are still a caste society. Take the IT sector – there's a film on the Bangalore IT industry that shows lower caste people very happy with their jobs, but there is still caste consciousness in the workplace.
And just as we are unable to develop a critical engagement in globalization, we are likewise unable to engage with a critical engagement of caste. And we carry on as if everything is normal, as if everything is okay. But it's not. Because every so often we get this terrible outburst like what happened in Khairlanji, that reminds us how barbaric and how pre-modern we all are.
During the caste upheavals of the 70s there were so many young people engaging with this issue of what is caste. The Yuva Kranti Dal, Lal Nishan etc. But at the end of this period, the BJP came up and suddenly the biggest issue confronting all Indians was not caste, but how do we protect our secularism. But please, just go back to the history of the 70s, the mid-60s, you'll find some amazing stories, some amazing experiments that were going on with youth leaders, and radicals and people working in the rural areas, so don't think answers are not there, it's there. You need to rediscover a language of modernity again. Once we do that, we can begin to explore our past, and our traditions and without linking it to this exclusivist conception of 'mine, not yours.'

A while back I decided to cut wheat from my diet for a whole year. One of the first things I did was stock up on oatcakes.
They do make life a little bit easier and you can still enjoy your favourite toppings like Smoked Salmon Pâté or cheese on them. When Gabriel started eating solids I got a sudden rush of motivation to make them myself. Surely, it can't be that difficult, I thought. It wasn't. The addition of dried fruit makes it just that more special and fresher as and crumblier than the shop bought ones.
Crunchy Rough Scottish Oatcakes
Prep 20 minutes
Cook 15 minutes
Total 35 minutes
Servings 20
Author: Michelle Minnaar
- 225g (2½ cups/8 oz) medium oatmeal, plus extra for dusting
- 1.25ml (¼ tsp) bicarbonate of soda
- 1.25ml (¼ tsp) salt
- 15ml (1 tbsp) unsalted butter
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/350°F/gas mark 4. Put the oatmeal, bicarbonate of soda and salt into a bowl and mix well. Heat the butter and 150ml (3/4 cup/5 oz) water in a small pan until the butter melts.
- Make a well in the centre of the oatmeal mix, pour in the liquid and use a palette knife to mix everything together. The mixture will initially seem a bit wet, but the oatmeal will gradually absorb all the liquid to give a soft dough.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with oatmeal. Tip out the dough, then roll out to about 5mm thick. Use a small round cutter to stamp out the oatcakes or use your favourite shapes. Re-roll any trimmings and continue to cut out the biscuits. (Cut biscuits can be frozen uncooked, for up to a month. Freeze flat before packing into bags or boxes.)
- Brush off any excess oatmeal, then space the oatcakes over 2 baking sheets. Bake for about 20 minutes, carefully turning the oatcakes every 5 minutes or so to stop them from steaming and going stodgy. When cooked they should be crisp and lightly golden. Lift onto a wire rack and leave to cool. (Will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days.)
Recipe Notes
- Serve with your favourite after-dinner cheese or any preferred topping, for example Smoked Salmon Pâté.
- Alternatively, bake the oatcakes on a rack – no flipping required!
- Don't be afraid to experiment by adding 25g (1 oz) of roughly chopped dried fruit like cranberries or apricots to the dough. A downside to using the fruit though is at times it can make the dough sticky. Add small amount of oatmeal to the dough until the stickiness goes away and proceed with the recipe.
- For a more savoury oatcake, coarsely grind 10ml (2 tsp) black peppercorns and tip into a sieve. Shake and discard any fine dust, then add the remaining coarse grinds to the oatmeal mix.
- You could also try adding poppy seeds or finely chopped herbs like rosemary and thyme.

Reinvent Albany has a number of major campaigns underway. In all of our work, we seek to:
1. Open New York State Government Information by putting it online via open data, open budget, open spending, OpenFOIL and other initiatives that put government's digital information online where it can increase transparency, accountability, efficiency, encourage innovation and reduce corruption. We advocate for and support online tools like the governor's OpenNY and OpenBudget, Open Book NY, New York Open Government and the Public Authorities Reporting Information System.
2. Boost NYC Transparency via the NYC Transparency Working Group a coalition of civic groups, civic technologists and others working for open data, OpenFOIL and other policy innovations that make NYC government more transparent. The TWG helped pass the NYC Open Data Law and is key advocate for NYC's OpenFOIL initiative.
3. Foster Fiscal Honesty and an End to Raids on Dedicated Highway, Transit and Environment Funds. Albany must keep its promises to the public. Dedicated taxes and fees should be spent solely for the purpose they were intended: transit taxes for transit, roadway taxes for roadways, environment fund taxes for the environment. Unfortunately, Albany has diverted billions of dedicated taxes to plug the overall state budget gap. This has contributed to the underinvestment in the state's decrepit roads, water systems and transit
4. Promote 21st Century Freedom of Information Law and Public Records. FOIL is the public's single most important open government tool. We support new laws and practices which make FOIL more transparent and responsive by putting the FOIL process online like the federal government has with its FOIAonline system. We also support modern public records processes which recognize the importance of email and other electronic records.
5. Create a Rational, Transparent Process for Awarding Public Subsidies to Businesses
In 2014, NY State provided roughly $4.2B in subsidies to businesses. Business subsidies have skyrocketed compared to other types of state and local spending. We, and others from both the left and right of the political spectrum have serious questions about the efficacy of these subsidies, the process by which they are awarded, their benefit compared to other forms of public investment, and the corruption risk they create.

- Did you know that you can turn your blender into a spice grinder using a mason jar. How cool is that? Too bad I already have a coffee/spice grinder. If anyone has tried it, let me know.
- You can also reuse glass containers and jars as to go coffee cups or water containers.
- These jar tops are really cool. You screw them on glass jars that you may normally recycle to make them more functional. It does not look like they are readily available in the US yet, but maybe soon.
- Use them for storage of knicknacks, loose change, or other miscellaneous items.
- Instead of using plastic, store leftover food in them.
- Small jars can be used to hold votive or tealight candles.
- Glass dressing bottles can be reused to store homemade dressing.
- Tie a ribbon around the top of a jar and use as a vase
- Make a lightbulb into salt and pepper shakers. (I would probably never do this, but it sure does look cool.)
- Turn a cider jar into a mini greenhouse. (Can you tell I like Readymade Magazine?)
- Last but not least, get crafty and make a soy candle

Reuse those glass containers
I started this post awhile back and was finally motivated to finish it today. For the most part, all of our glass gets recycled. I hate clutter so I don't usually keep glass containers for future use, but recently have come across some pretty good ideas. I might have to start saving some jars.

Federal student loan interest rates will not be going up
YONKERS - Congress passed a bill on Friday to maintain interest rates at 3.4% for all new government-backed student loans for one year.
If congress had not acted, rates could have doubled beginning yesterday for more than seven million students nationwide.
President Obama has signed the freeze into law.
Jordan Goodman was in the studio today to discuss student loan interest rates.
