Youthful Demographics of Developing Countries may be their Economic Salvation
March 3, 2003
Many western industrialized countries are experiencing an aging of their work force while poor, developing countries enjoy a much younger work force. Demographers suggest this may give them a one-time-only window to catch up with the more affluent countries.
But to seize that opportunity, they would have to emphasize education, job creation and improved health care, experts point out.
- According to a new United Nations population report, less-developed countries have a median age of only 24.1 years -- projected to rise to 35.7 years by midcentury.
- By contrast, the median age of the developed world two years ago was 37.5 -- projected to rise to 45.2 years by 2050.
- The favorable age structure of populations in China, India, Brazil, Mexico and other countries will allow them to surge economically, while western European countries and Japan are trying to cope with an onslaught of pensioners.
The U.S. is somewhat better off than the other advanced countries, thanks to a higher birth rate and a more open immigration policy. And by raising the age for retirement and encouraging people to fund their own pensions, the U.S. may be constructing a more realistic policy.

Peach gets 1st choice102705 dogbytes13Athens Banner-HeraldTALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The official announcement has yet to come from the ACC, but from all indications, the Gator Bowl will lose its pick of the top team from the league beginning with the 2006 football season.--> Peach gets 1st choice ACC By Bob Thomas | Morris News Service | Story updated at 11:27 PM on Wednesday, October 26, 2005 TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The official announcement has yet to come from the ACC, but from all indications, the Gator Bowl will lose its pick of the top team from the league beginning with the 2006 football season.
Since 1998, the first year of the BCS, the Gator Bowl has had the first choice of ACC and Big East teams - or Notre Dame - after the league championships were decided.
The preferential selection spot has enabled Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett and his committee to bring together some memorable match-ups, including Georgia Tech-Notre Dame (1999), Virginia Tech-Clemson (2001), N.C. State-Notre Dame (2003), West Virginia against Maryland (2004) and Florida State (2005).
But beginning next season, the Peach Bowl will step into that position, selecting the ACC's top team three out of every four years to pair against the fifth-place SEC team. The Gator would retain that option once out of every four.
Though there's a reluctance among the affected parties to discuss the matter until an official announcement is made, there are two reasons behind the move: Money, and the ACC's desire to prevent the loser of the annual league championship game from returning to Alltel Stadium three weeks later.
Catlett understands the ACC's desire to avoid return trips to Jacksonville for the title-game loser, and he has held lengthy discussions with league officials about an amicable resolution. Unfortunately, his financially tied hands prevent him from reached an agreement that could have led to alternating picks with Peach Bowl president Gary Stokan.
The Peach Bowl is guaranteeing a $3 million payout, and despite a nearly 100 percent boost to the Gator Bowl payout, its $2.5 million just doesn't match up.
"When it comes down to a discrepancy of a half-million dollars, it's got to get your attention if you're the ACC," Catlett said.
Catlett would love to match or exceed the Peach payout, but the acrimonious stadium-signage negotiations with the Jaguars are in the way. Without the ability to guarantee a "clean stadium" to a Gator Bowl title sponsor, his earning power is limited.
As it is, the $2.5 million payout is the ultimate ceiling, and that only has come as a result of hiking Gator Bowl ticket prices.
A new television deal and new tie-ins that will enable Catlett to pull from the Big 12, Big East and Notre Dame should guarantee attractive match-ups into the foreseeable future. The improved top-to-bottom play in the expanded ACC also helps. It's safe to assume at least two attractive opponents from a pool of, say, Florida State, Clemson, Virginia Tech and Miami will be available.
Still, there's disappointment. The Gator Bowl always has been recognized as one of the nation's premier second-tier postseason destinations. To lose that distinction, in part because it can't measure up financially, hurts.
How badly? We'll have to wait and see.

Actor Idris Elba: 'Playing Luther is like therapy'
After five years playing the detective, Idris Elba feels the character has more to give. He tells Shereen Low about his stage and screen plans
Idris Elba, the Golden Globe-winning actor who DJs on the side, took to the decks as the opening act for none other than Madonna at her Berlin and London shows recently, gleefully sharing a photo of them together on stage afterwards on Twitter.
"Madonna is a legend. I met a beautiful person who has been working forever and is still going. We did an incredible show," he says.
Asked how he got the gig, he plays down any celebrity connections, saying: "I am a DJ for hire and she needed someone. I just got an email asking if I'd like to do it."
The normally cool Elba, who also made his debut at Glastonbury this summer, said supporting Madge was a different experience.
"I'm standing by the curtain before I went on, and made the mistake of peeking to see who's there and saw 17,000 people looking back," the 43-year-old recalls.
"I just entertained and played music. It's such a buzz to perform."
Aside from DJing, the actor - who was born in London's Hackney and whose screen appearances this year include Netflix's Beasts of No Nation, Marvel's Avengers: Age Of Ultron and thriller The Gunman - has also turned his hand to fashion, collaborating on a range for Superdry.
"If I had the opportunity to have any influence in fashion, this is it. I'm no fashion guru, but I think I know how to dress and what a man wants to look like," he notes.
Today, though, the key agenda is promoting his return to BBC One crime thriller Luther, in which he reprises his role as the genius murder-solver DCI John Luther.
The upcoming fourth series - a two-parter, once again written by the show's New Zealand creator Neil Cross - comes more than two years after the third series, which aired in 2013.
The opening episode sees Luther hiding out in a cottage by the sea, away from the gritty East London, before a "monstrous" cannibalistic serial killer calls him back to his job.
"We've got a loyal and demanding audience - and the audience, Neil and I were not satisfied with the ending of the last one," Elba says.
"It felt like there were unanswered questions and we needed to conclude some stuff, maybe close down a chapter to open a new chapter and keep the story growing. We've evolved, the whole show seems to have grown a bit.
"There's some progression in Luther's life. That version of Luther had to go and stop - and now this version of Luther, who is slightly older and a little bit smarter and wiser, this begins the birth of the next chapter."
While he admits playing Luther is "not easy", the father-of-two - who has also created an album to accompany the series - says it's also quite "cathartic" portraying the grumpy detective, especially when it comes to unleashing emotions around his father's death from cancer in September 2013.
"Luther is very hard to play, and hard to be in. It's a very dark show and it isn't easy,but it's part of my job. I always go to Luther when I'm at my grumpiest. It's like, 'I feel s***, let's do some Luther'. Because if I do it when I'm happy, it'll drag me down," he says.
"Actually, I use Luther as a therapy session because there's a lot of screaming and shouting. 'That was really good acting', people will say, but I wasn't acting, I was really angry. It is definitely therapy for me."
In this series, Luther is joined by some newcomers - Theo Bloom (Darren Boyd), DS Emma Lane (Game Of Thrones' Rose Leslie) and the mysterious Megan Cantor (Laura Haddock).
"We always try to get fresh, great actors that have energy to fit into the DNA (of the show). Laura's amazing and unstoppable, you can't take your eyes off her. Darren's a stellar character," Elba explains.
"Luther and DS Emma become partners and there is a camaraderie which grows as the show unfolds."
After playing Luther for more than five years, Elba says he's not quite ready to say goodbye to the character.
"I do want to keep playing John in some way or form, because I'm really attached to it. At the moment, John's still very much alive in my heart and Neil's heart. We just have to figure out how to keep it going."
The US remake, which Elba would executive produce, is "in development". There have been talks for a film adaptation, too, and Elba likes the idea of a stage version.
"Secretly, I've been imagining Luther on stage. It's crazy, but why not? It could be a very detailed version of it on stage," he says.
"I'm not sure what the end game is. I want to make his world bigger and give a slightly larger scale to the whole thing. There are definitely different ways to dissect it. I think it's a big challenge to make a film, economically."
Luther aside, Elba - who has also been linked with the role of James Bond - has a number of movies coming up, including The Jungle Book, in which he voices tiger Shere Khan, Star Trek Beyond and Finding Dory, the sequel to Finding Nemo.
With questions about Bond off-limits, Elba is happy to comment on his Jungle Book role: "It's a massive honour to be asked to play that character in a classic like that. But I did it because I wanted my children to watch something that was a classic and be a part of that."

Flint, Mich., is about an 850-mile drive from Athens, but two players from the blue-collar city in the Great Lakes State could have Georgia traveling much farther this spring.
In their first season with the Lady Bulldogs, former Flint Northern High School teammates Tawana McDonald and Deana ''Tweety'' Nolan have changed the face of the Georgia basketball team.
To a squad that struggled to a 17-11 record last year, the 6-foot-4 McDonald has added an imposing inside presence on both ends of the floor and the 5-10 Nolan has brought full-court explosiveness the Lady Bulldogs desperately needed.
But can the two longtime friends continue their contributions by revisiting their postseason success at Northern on a much higher level?
They're looking forward to the challenge, which begins Saturday when Georgia (23-6) hosts Liberty (21-7) in an NCAA first-round game at 8:15 p.m.
''I think it'll be bigger and more exciting than what it was in high school,'' McDonald said of playing in her first NCAA Tournament. ''It'll be more experience for us.''
The two had plenty on the high school level, leading a Northern team that was essentially the Tennessee Lady Vols of Michigan girls' basketball to a pair of state titles during their careers. Northern won state in Class A (the largest classification) in 1994 and 1995, embarking on a 71-game winning streak that stretched into the 1996 season, when the Vikings were upset in the quarterfinals.
The championships came in McDonald's freshman and sophomore years -- she was a four-year starter -- and though no more titles were won the rest of her career, McDonald finished high school with a 101-5 record. Girls' basketball is a fall sport in Michigan, so McDonald hasn't been in a win-or-go-home situation in over a year.
For Nolan, who enrolled at Georgia last year but had to sit out as a partial qualifier, it's been more than two years since she last played in a game with season-ending pressure. That's a long time for someone like Nolan, who lives for the intensity of the postseason.
''I'm used to that, I like that,'' she said.
As does McDonald, always a target in her high school days because of her size. She remembers the feeling of going into an opposing gym as the bad guy, and the novelty of playing teams from all over the state.
''It was more players my size that I didn't know anything about,'' she said. ''And more people that wanted to get after us and take us out when we'd had such a winning season. We had to play against five players, the referees and the crowd.''
So will that winning experience translate to this level of play? Georgia coach Andy Landers doesn't think so.
''That'll be a good experience and it'll help them,'' he said. ''But comparable to anything that we're gonna have? No.
''Hey, high school kids, they get on big yeller (the school bus) when the bell rings and go home, they don't give a flip about nothing. You've been in a high school lately, haven't you? They get home and go, 'Oh, shoot, we've got a game tonight.' They ain't thinking about being 26-0.''
So the NCAA Tournament is an entirely new ballgame for McDonald, Nolan and everyone else experiencing it for the first time. That doesn't mean Georgia's Flint connection is lacking in confidence heading into this weekend.
''This is the time when you've got to play, you've all got to be together on the same page, doing everything right,'' said McDonald, who in addition to her 8.8 points, 6.8 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game has recently become the team's most vocal leader. Her role as the Lady Bulldogs' top on-court cheerleader is one the freshman took without prodding from anyone, including a coaching staff that has spent the better part of two years hoping for a player to take charge.
''I think that's what needs to be done to get the team fired up and get them going, to have somebody out there yelling at them or pushing them or carrying them or something,'' said McDonald. ''If that's what it takes to win, that's what I'll have to do.''
Her partner, while not nearly as vocal, feels the same way. She's anxious to get started and feels secure about her team's chances ... but that optimism is somewhat tempered by realism.
''I don't know about us winning it back-to-back ...'' said Nolan, her voice trailing off.
Well, these two have been down that road before.

Global growth is forecast to rise moderately in 2015–16, from 3.3 per cent in 2014 to 3.5 per cent in 2015 and 3.7 per cent in 2016, revised down by 0.3 per cent for both years relative to the October 2014 World Economic Outlook (WEO).
(READ MORE: IMF expects regional GDP growth to surge to 5 ¾ %)
"Recent developments, affecting different countries in different ways, have shaped the global economy since the release of the October WEO, the report says," said the International Monetary Fund.
"New factors supporting growth, lower oil prices, but also depreciation of euro and yen—are more than offset by persistent negative forces, including the lingering legacies of the crisis and lower potential growth in many countries."
IMF's Economic Counsellor and Director of Research Olivier Blanchard at the country level said the cross currents made for a complicated picture.
"It means good news for oil importers, bad news for oil exporters. Good news for commodity importers, bad news for exporters," said Blanchard.
"Continuing struggles for the countries which show scars of the crisis, and not so for others. Good news for countries more linked to the euro and the yen, bad news for those more linked to the dollar."
The Fund says, in advanced economies, growth is projected to rise to 2.4 per cent in both 2015 and 2016.
(WATCH VIDEO: IMF projects growth in sub-Saharan Africa)
"Within this broadly unchanged outlook, however, is the increasing divergence between the United States, on the one hand, and the euro area and Japan, on the other. For 2015, the U.S. economic growth has been revised up to 3.6 per cent, largely due to more robust private domestic demand."
The IMF added that cheaper oil is boosting real incomes and consumer sentiment, and there is continued support from accommodative monetary policy, despite the projected gradual rise in interest rates.
"In contrast, weaker investment prospects weigh on the euro area growth outlook, which has been revised down to 1.2 percent, despite the support from lower oil prices, further monetary policy easing, a more neutral fiscal policy stance, and the recent euro depreciation."

FUNDING for police community support officers on the streets of Wyre is set to be axed.
Wyre Council plans to cut cash for 11 PCSOs in the borough from the end of next month.
It means Wyre would be left with just 13 PCSOs funded by the police.
Council leader Coun Peter Gibson said while he knows residents value officers on the streets, he does not believe the council should have to pay for them.
Coun Gibson said: "The agreement to part-fund 11 PCSOs ceases on March 31.
"There is nothing in the budget for further years of funding.
"We've done a consultation and the overwhelming view was people value PCSOs but they thought the police should pay for them.
"If police want PCSOs they should be paid by them."
In the past, the council has paid around £121,000 a year to part-fund the 11 PCSO posts – with a total of more than £1m paid towards the officers since 2006.
Coun Gibson also complained in Fylde – where the council offers no part-funding – there are 18 fully-funded PCSOs despite it having a smaller population than Wyre.
This is the first year the new Police and Crime Commissioner has been in charge of the budget, replacing the Police Authority.
And Commissioner Clive Grunshaw said the recommendation to stop part-funding was "disappointing".
He added: "I do appeal to the Wyre Council cabinet not to agree to this recommendation, which would see the loss of a number of PCSOs from the area.
"I do sympathise with the Council's financial situation but, I don't believe turning down funding from the constabulary for these additional posts is the right route to take.
"I have attempted to ease this situation by committing to match-fund additional PCSOs for another year."
As part of the plans – to be debated at Wyre's cabinet meeting on February 20 – a council vehicle used by PCSOs would be added to the council fleet.
Discussions are also ongoing about the civic centre bungalow having to be leased by the police, at an approximate cost of £5,000, instead of being given free of charge.
It is not yet known if the PCSOs would be redeployed to a different area if the plans go ahead.

Background: This gene encodes an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, part of the ubiquitin protein degradation system. This imprinted gene is maternally expressed in brain and biallelically expressed in other tissues. Maternally inherited deletion of this gene causes Angelman Syndrome, characterized by severe motor and intellectual retardation, ataxia, hypotonia, epilepsy, absence of speech, and characteristic facies. The protein also interacts with the E6 protein of human papillomavirus types 16 and 18, resulting in ubiquitination and proteolysis of tumor protein p53. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding three isoforms with different N-termini. Additional transcript variants have been described, but their full length nature has not been determined.

The fire at the Colectiv nightclub started on Friday when fireworks set off inside the club lit insulation foam on a pillar and spread quickly, starting a stampede and trapping many of the roughly 400 people inside.

text: Kevin B Moses 0 Report post Posted March 19 Here's the thing I never understand about the constant negativity about Mike and Marc. All they do is win with less, and golden state doesn't even have the ability to do that without having the most talent in the league. You think the grizzlies would ever lose a game again if kd had come to memphis? My general point is that Mike is worth every bit of his contract and Marc is also. The grizzlies, as Mike Conlet said, don't talk. They ball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suchý Vrch Orličky Reviews
9 reviews
The outlook-tower at Suchý Vrch Sep 28, 2006
Suchy vrch is the highest hill of the Bukovohorska higlands (995meters) and a traditional beauty-spot. There is a snack bar and an outlook tower from which you can see the Kralicky Sneznik mountains, the peak Praded in Jeseniky mountains and when there is good wheather you can even see the highest Czech peak Snezka. On a little moorland under the hill are growing unique plants, e.g. Round Leaf Sundew.
There used to live Russian soldiers above in the chalets. The hotel next to the outlook tower was destroyed by a fire but this year started a reconstruction work on it, so maybe next time you can rent a room here.

Bill Nye Debate
PETERSBURG, Ky. (AP) — Bill Nye "The Science Guy" is set to visit Kentucky next month for a debate on science and creation with the man who founded the Creation Museum.
Founder Ken Ham says the museum will host Nye, the former host of a popular youth science show, on Feb. 4.
Nye has been critical of creationists for their opposition to evolution and asserting that the Old Testament is a literal account of the Earth's beginnings. Last year in an online video that drew nearly 6 million views, Nye said teaching creationism was bad for children.
The video prompted a response video from the Creation Museum, and Ham later challenged him to a debate.
The event is likely to attract plenty of attention in scientific and faith circles, as Nye is a high-profile advocate of science education and Ham is a respected leader among Christians who believe the Bible's origin story is a factual account of the Earth's beginnings.

Why You Need To Get Your Little Girl A Baby Girl Car Seat Covers?
You might be asking why you need to get your little girl a baby girl car seat covers.
- First of all,car seat covers for girls are an excellent method to equip convertible car seats and get them more attractive for your little ones. When you wish to keep them safe throughout driving, the last thing you wish to do is make them feel unpleasant and afraid of their scenario.
- The application of safety seat covers solves that and allows you to utilize the tools you have to guarantee your kid's wellness while on the road.
- The significance of safety seat is among the recognized simple facts of being a parent. Clearly, parents can not position their kids on their laps while driving a vehicle nor use adult seat belts on them to prevent them from flying out or being movable. Not only just is that bothersome yet unsafe.A safety seat takes that whole trouble away and makes sure that babies are secured from environmental stress factors that might hurt or interrupt their peace
- . One huge drawback to safety seat though is that they are poor at offering convenience. This is where safety seat covers come in useful. However if you are out to purchase them, you need to initially take into things to consider the following elements so you end up with the very best choice for your kid.
Baby Girl Car Seat Covers Purchasing Guide
We will talk about the baby girl car seat covers purchasing guide.
- First off, ensure that the seat cover you purchase manages to keep your infant warm. Babies do not react well to cold. And apart from your automobile being air conditioned, there will even be times when the weather condition is unforgiving. If you get a seat cover that is insulated enough, you may not even need to dress your kid with a large jacket.
- Second, take notice of the style and color schemes. If you have a little girl, naturally, you would wish to choose something that represents her gender. This would most likely be pink, with butterflies, bows, or doll prints. Appearances might not look like it is essential given that it does not have any connection to a child's security. Nevertheless, it does affect their willingness of your kid to be positioned in it. Brilliant colors capture their attention and make them interested.
- Obviously, you likewise need to be critical about the structure. A great baby girl car seat covers must be well fitted. It must have the ability to accommodate exactly what devices exist. And if there are operational add-ons like pockets, that would be better. Obviously, you also wish to make sure that the products utilized are washable. Kids aren't the cleanest beings.
- Get a cover that can quickly be reused after a basic device or hand washing. You cannot afford to purchase brand-new ones whenever your kid's milk spills or leakages.
- They must also be long lasting and well-padded. Tears and breaks can be rather undesirable and undesirable to feel. And it truly takes a great deal of value away from your financial investment. Padding decreases your kid's direct exposure to movement stresses and keeps them steady even through bumpy rides.
- Lastly, you ought to make sure that you purchase a range of season-coordinated covers so you have that additional heat throughout winter season and breeziness throughout summer season. You might decide to purchase pre-made items as they are less expensive. Or have a store make personalized seat covers, that way you have control over every quality. If you are opting for the first, attempt not to settle quickly for what you think is adequate as they might not offer all the required benefits your kid requires.

Kaiji: The Ultimate Gambler Trailer (2009)
10 October 2009 Drama, Thriller 130 mins
Itou Kaiji is a bum who steals car emblems and slashes tires on what seems to be a regular basis. This routine changes one day when he is paid a visit by a man in a trench-coat. Once the two get talking, it seems that the visitor (Calling himself Endou) is a debt collector. The reason for his visit is an unpaid loan which kaiji had previously co-signed for a work-mate (Furuhata Takeshi). The original loan was 30000 yen and once Takeshi had disappeared, the loan then fell on Kaiji. Kaiji is then told of a way to clear the interest compounded debt (which stood at 3,850,000 yen), which involved getting on a boat with others in his position. Once on the boat the debtors would then have to gamble with loaned money, which would end with a few winning, and others getting into deeper debt and having to work to pay of their debts. After some coercing kaiji accepts a position on the boat, in order to clear himself and make a bit of money as well...

It's a good decision to get the home remodeled and enhance its charms manifold. If budget is concern, you can go ahead with decorating only one or two rooms in the house and wait for more work later on. Getting interior designed in a gradual manner is also a good strategy adopted by home owners. In both the cases, you will need the services of an experienced interior designer Gurgaon to get the job done in a perfect manner.
More so, you should never take to DIY route as interior designing is a complex job involving a lot of aspects.

Seattle Seahawks All-Pro Richard Sherman had eight interceptions and led the league in passes defensed (24) last year. Hall of Fame wide receiver Michael Irvin thinks the third-year cornerback will be even better this year.
"I love Richard Sherman. I absolutely love him," said Irvin, who was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.
"This game, and especially guys who play on that island, requires such confidence," Irvin said, via Seahawks.com. "And Sherm has that confidence. A lot of guys have that confidence, but very few have the confidence and aura about them so much so that when he walks on the field others get confidence."
"I always say I will take the less-superior athlete," Irvin continued. "Don't give me the guy who's superior to everybody. Give me the guy who plays great and knows how to make everybody else play great. And that's what Richard does. He doesn't back down. He doesn't care who it is across from him. People may take it the wrong way, but he's the greatest dude in the world."
A fifth-round draft selection by the Seahawks in 2011, Sherman started the final 10 games as a rookie, intercepting four passes. Last season he was voted All-Pro.
"He's an incredibly adept cover guy," coach Pete Carroll said. "He's a spiritual accent to whatever we're doing. He's got a great spirit about him. He's as competitive as you can possibly be, which we've totally held in this program.
"We'll count on him to match up against the guys, and really just play football again. He's prepared like it, he does it in every practice every day. He's doing everything that he needs to do to position himself to do it again. It's one thing to have a good year, but it's coming back and coming back, which is something that we really cherish. He's up against that now, and he's done all of the right things to get that done."

13 May 2017, Huddersfield
After appearing at the most prestigious, national crime-writing festival in Harrogate this year, and following, frankly, 'murderous' requests for advice on real life protocol and procedures at crime scenes, I'm excited to announce that I've created a unique workshop for crime-writing authors and readers of crime, in conjunction with CSI experience company Think Forensic. Morning and afternoon sessions available: 10am – 1pm, and 2pm – 5pm. Escorting you through (thankfully, re-enacted) real-life investigations and crime scenes will be a senior investigating officer, a CSI (crime scene investigator), a crash investigator and a forensic linguist. We will all be on hand to guide you through the true processes and techniques used in real criminal investigations, including how to read fire scenes, real-life evidence gathering, how to protect crime scenes, and how a crash scene is examined. The blood spatter room, for example, will give you a unique opportunity to see for yourself how the patterns made reveal the amount of blows that took place, where the offender and victim were stood at impact, how many people were in the room, etc., etc. There will also be a more general writing workshop during the day, which will cover more generic writing issues, such as how to address the structure and content of your book, writers' block, and your publishing options in today's digital world. Long gone are the days when you can bend your local bobby's ear for realistic procedural insight. The more successful crime writers wouldn't release a book without fully checking the accuracy of their content with law enforcement professionals like us. This is an opportunity no author can afford to miss – take full advantage of the wealth of experience we hold. Please note that the author/reader workshop take place at Think Forensic's dedicated crime centre in West Yorkshire. Staff are subject to change, depending on availability. For further details, or to book on the event, contact email@example.com.
I'm open to holding workshops to groups of writers on any aspect of the writing, production, publishing or book marketing processes. If you have an idea of/theme for a workshop that you'd like me to deliver, drop me an email at email@example.com

Personally I fly normally about 500 feet from where I'm at and I normally go around the area where I'm standing about 500 feet. One of the reasons that I stay close in is because of a fly away fear. I actually have had a QR3 50 from walkera flyway from me before so this is a fear for me. I'm interested in how you fly.

"May you live in interesting times." Whoever coined that old Chinese curse is smiling upon us right now as the country and the world braces itself for the Trump presidency.
Before I get to this article's main point, here's a suggestion: Don't judge or hate those who voted for Donald Trump (or Hillary Clinton). The world has enough fear and anger already. People can be hard to fathom, a lot of folks are struggling. Let's understand and help each other, not turn against our brothers and sisters while the rich get richer and the rest of us get poorer.
Russell Brand tells it like it is. Watching this is worth your time:
Don't blame our problems on Donald Trump either. Trump isn't responsible for the following (though he may make them worse):
• The government is too bloated and complex to address people's problems
• US debt is enormous and growing, currently $14.3 trillion, equal to the national GDP of the previous 10 months
• The US houses 22% of the world's prisoners, despite having 4.4% of the world's population
• For centuries, ethnic minorities have been systematically targeted and oppressed
• Corporations have massive power in the US with enormous destructive potential
• Centralized federal lending policies and urban design regulations have created one of the world's most inhumane and unsustainable built environments
• The US has long cast a shadow of fear and conflict across the globe
Here's the real problem: The US is too big.
Corporate power, inequality, militarism, and government malfeasance, problems that exist in all sized nations, become massive, unsolvable issues in large countries. This was true under all previous presidents, no matter how benevolent or demagogic, and it will be true under all future presidents. Size transcends personalities.
But what if what is now the US were instead a more harmless and governable patchwork of smaller countries? Look underneath the map and already is, at least in part. In "American Nations" (2011) Colin Woodard posits that the US is not one homogeneous country but eleven cultural regions that have nothing to do with state or national borders. These regions were founded by groups of people with starkly different ideas about how society should work and be governed.
Although these regions were founded between the 1500s and 1900s and have since seen multiple waves of immigration, the new arrivals have ended up being absorbed into the original regional (mainly non-indigenous) cultures, which have survived to this day…
A brief description of The Nations of America (click to open)
- El Norte: Founded by the Spanish and the oldest of the American Nations, El Norte is home to a self-reliant culture both north and south of the US-Mexican border.
- Yankeedom: Established by radical Calvinists as a religious utopia with an emphasis on education, local political control, and the greater good. Locked in ongoing tension with the Deep South.
- New Netherland: Founded by the Dutch and situated in what is now Greater New York City, New Netherland introduced to the future US tolerance of diversity and freedom of inquiry.
- The Midlands: Started by English Quakers and organized around the middle class, the Midlands features a prevailing moderate political opinion where government is seen as an unwelcome presence. A key swing vote region.
- Tidewater: Fundamentally conservative with more emphasis on respect for tradition and authority and less on equality and public participation in politics, Tidewater introduced the Electoral College and the Senate to the US political system.
- Greater Appalachia: Founded by waves of bellicose settlers from the warring borders between England, Scotland, and Ireland. Greater Appalachia features a warrior mentality and emphasis on individual liberty. People here are wary of both social reformers and aristocrats.
- The Deep South: Established by British slave lords from Barbados, the Deep South is still the least democratic of the American Nations.
- New France: Settled by progressive French immigrants, New France is still liberal and multicultural today.
- The Left Coast: Combines New England ideals and intellectualism with individual exploration and self-fulfillment.
- The Far West: A resource colony for the rest of the US which resists federal regulation while relying on government assistance.
- First Nation: This area is dominated by Native Americans who never surrendered their lands and are steadily gaining sovereignty.
Most Americans I've spoken to have been pleased to hear about the American Nations. They're relieved to know that under this country's massive bulk are smaller, safer, and more harmonious nations. What if these nations could actually control their own destinies?
Many people are indeed starting to connect the size of the US to its problems. Enter the Calexit (California independence) and Texit (Texas independence) movements, spearheaded respectively by Yes California and the Texas Nationalist Movement (TNM), both peaceful organizations pushing for independence. The TNM has been growing steadily for a couple of decades, Trump's election has seen Yes California explode in size. Time will tell if either movement become serious forces of change, joining other independence movements, such as Catalonia's and Scotland's, flourishing around the world.
To many Americans the idea of smaller countries emerging out of the current USA might seem ridiculous, impractical, dangerous, and even treasonous. Even though the data suggest that on average smaller countries generally have higher per capita GDP, happier citizens, and fight fewer wars the biggest challenge is perhaps psychological: How can people raised their whole lives to identify as Americans suddenly accept a whole new paradigm? It will be a challenge.
A lot of questions – about national security, the economy, the legality of self-determination, and more – need answering. Here's my advice: Start with Yes California's short online Blue Book which addresses many questions about independence. Then read economist Leopold Kohr's classic book "The Breakdown of Nations". Kohr not only argues, with concrete logic and wit, for small nations but also suggests that size is the one and only problem permeating all creation!
Do I think it's actually possible for California or Texas or another state to become an independent country? Even by the most optimistic prediction it would be extremely difficult. But if something is right it should be pushed for, no matter what the odds. And ultimately if a union is unsustainable then, by organization or fate, it will crumble as all unions have at some point. A managed dissolution – perhaps into something more resembling Europe with its moderately-sized independent countries with coordinated trade policies under the European Union – is better than a chaotic one. In fact, it's already started. In recent statements from Californian representatives committing to defend local values and achievements from federal attacks we're already seeing a new move to political re-localization.
If this presidential election has shown one thing it's this: Different regions of the US fundamentally (and perhaps eternally) disagree on how the world should be run. Why not let those regions run themselves the way they'd like to? Perhaps it's time to jettison the past of the massive and find solutions in the future of the small.
"I believe in the virtue of small nations. I believe in the virtue of small numbers.
The world will be saved by the few."
André Gide (1869-1951), French author and Nobel Prize winner

German trade union Verdi has urged staff at the stock market operator Deutsche Boerse to protest in favour of jobs it says are threatened by a merger with NYSE Euronext, and to press for higher wages.
A demonstration is scheduled at noon (1100 GMT) on Wednesday at the operator's headquarters in Eschborn, west of Frankfurt, a statement said.
"We think this merger is not necessary because German stock market activity will suffer and the system of staff representation on the supervisory board will disappear," Verdi leader Herbert Bayer told AFP.
Deutsche Boerse boss Reto Francioni told German business daily Handelsblatt Monday that the huge financial market operator formed by Deutsche Boerse and NYSE Euronext will probably use the latter's stock trading platform.
That would mean the end of the German operator's Xetra platform.
But "Frankfurt and the financial sector will profit" from the merger as well since its trading platform for derivative products would probably be retained and fears over a decline were "unfounded," Francioni said.
Verdi also wants to resume talks with the German market operator on staff wages, and is calling for a four-percent increase.
Deutsche Boerse management has offered 2.3 percent, Bayer said.
The company employs around 3,400 people worldwide, including some 1,600 in Germany.

From this article, the FTC in the US is looking at tightening the rules around advertising online.
Here is an excerpt:
Thinking about letting a big-name blogger test-drive your new hybrid in the hope he'll post a glowing review about it, or maybe sending some beverage products to an influencer, hoping she'll spread the word?
You might have to think twice, if the Federal Trade Commission follows through with its proposed plan to start regulating viral marketing and blogs.
So for those sex bloggers who do paid reviews for toys and all other enjoyable equipment, may need to take special care about what they are doing. They may even find this kind of advertising dries up a bit as the pressure from the FTC comes to bear.
I believe that there is enough easily found content to form an opinion on the net that "let the buyer beware" be all that is required, (and the internet makes it easier to comparison shop that hoofing it around on foot) so these kinds of things are not necessary.
The FTC say that it is to update laws to take in new technologies that were not around when it was written 30 years ago. I agree, but it also means that the laws need to be relative to the medium they are trying to regulate.
Hopefully a happy medium can be found (Astroglide anyone:)

I just have no words.
Seriously....this is horrible
I know it's not, but the alternative is to accept that it's real.
I find it sickening, and I certainly hope that the victims families pursue a civil suit since he isn't being punished under the law for suffering from Affluenza, perhaps mom and dad can suffer with a big hit to their bank account.
As a person who watched their best friends dad get killed by a drunk driver with a minimum sentence this just infuriates me to no end.
To the defense, the youth is himself a victim -- of "affluenza," according to one psychologist -- the product of wealthy, privileged parents who never set limits for the boy.
To a judge, who sentenced Couch to 10 years' probation but no jail time, he's a defendant in need of treatment.
To a judge, who sentenced Couch to 10 years' probation but no jail time, he's a defendant in need of treatment.
So... because the boy's defense was that his parents never set limits for him, the judge decided to also not set limits for him as a punishment. And the kid's attorney said this was justified because putting him in jail wouldn't ease his victims families' suffering.
It's hard to know what our children are going to think, growing up in a world like this.
I think in honor of this court decision, I'm going to come up with a few genuinely good people my children can look up to with pride and we'll write them letters of appreciation for being lights in the darkness.
I don't think you can fight this kind of evil with anger, as much as it provokes, but maybe we can help tip the scales away from these inhuman people by pouring more attention and approval towards those who are good.
I can't think of any other response, it hurts my heart to realize this sort of thing happens.
1. The suspension numbers are too high
2. The suspension numbers for a certain group are too high... (read black males)
3. Our drop out rate is scrutinized and suspending children who are of an age to drop out encourages dropping out
4. Suspending children is "not the answer."
and my favorite:
"I didn't suspend him because it is what he wants..."
Fine. All of those reasons have merit in some degree. But don't claim to have a zero tolerance for drugs, violence, or whatever and then use one of these as an excuse in what appears to be willy nilly logic. Because I promise you the message that is received is that consequences are not enforced and that behaviors carry minimal risks if you say you are sorry/cry/have mom call and make a fuss, that there is an excuse for everything, and "one more chance" in every instance.
ok, climbing down off soap box.
As for his "sentence", puhleeeese. He gets to go to Club Med while the families of the victims get to plan funerals. The prosecutor in this case should be fired and disbarred. The kid was stinking drunk and committed 4 counts of vehicular homicide and got what the average joe would consider a first class vacation as sentence.
All affairs are variations on a theme. No one has 'Beethoven's 5th' to everyone else's 'Chopsticks'.
There is an inequity here, but that is part of life.
If the situation was reversed the families of the victims would receive no compensation. Does that imply that the lives lost were less precious because the perpetrator was poor?
I retract my earlier statement about the prosecutor. He wanted the maximum sentance for this kid. This wasn't his first DUI, not to mention he's guilty of underage drinking and was stinking drunk at the time.
Besides the lenient (paid for?) judge, the parents hired a "professional psycologist" to come up with the affluenza diagnosis. No one else had ever heard of it before this case.
I may sound harsh but even though he has to live with knowing he took four lives, I tend to think, because of his rarely (if ever) hearing the word "no" and the lack of consequences when he did screw up, that it doesn't bother him that much.
I don't think so. He hasn't been ever made to feel it and now is told what he did is ok because mom and dad are crappy parents.
The whole thing infuritates me!
The driver jumped out of his car and ran to the side of the road. He threw a 40oz bottle of beer in the woods according f to witnesses. He had a broken ankle. He did not check on the family. Just full CYA mode.
The cop knew this 18yo kid. It was a small town and his dad owned the only car dealership. He put off testing his BAL for two hours. And dismissed the joints found in the car.
The kid paid a fine and did a couple hundred hours of community service. A little over a year later his mom actually had the guts to approach the mom that had been in the van. She said that everyone felt sorry for her family, but what about her son? He had to do allllllllll that community service.
This was 20yrs ago and it taught me a clear lesson about both money and small towns.
And the kid's attorney said this was justified because putting him in jail wouldn't ease his victims families' suffering
Neither him or his parents who has had run ins with the law themselves have learn a lesson, watch the little devil walking out of court with his parents, not a look of remorse on any of their faces.
This makes me sick because if that were any of us on here we would be sitting in jail on vehicular manslaughter charges.
Just this past summer a man driving home from a waterpark killed a young child, a pregnant woman and her aunt(?) and his bail was a million dollars. And he was drunk too.
The only fact that gives me some comfort is that the defendant will be kept away from his family for two years for intensive treatment. Is this true? I don't know but I hope so. In fairness to what the defense was trying to represent, if the kid was sentenced to prison, he would have been subjected to prison, which involves no real rehabilitation efforts, and would simply have solidified negative behavior.
My one strong opinion from dealing with prosecution of adults? Rehab doesn't exist. Prison is typically a breeding ground for future more dangerous behavior.
Was this sentence right? Probably not. Will it have a positive affect for future behavior of this defendant? Unknown at this point, but I hope so. If he does violate his conditions he will be slammed, and based on the media attention, he will be slammed quickly.

Ali Davis
We recently walked into a launch and recognised the 'Ali Davis touch' instantly. Not only does Ali produce beautiful, light food to a high standard, but her creative impulses have spread to the overall presentation and atmosphere in a truly special way. After training in South Africa and working in the entertainment industry for a while, Ali now runs her own catering company and works as a freelance chef. Here we ask her to give us a few thoughts on her relaxed and fresh approach to food.
How did you get into food? I enrolled in a year long course in a Cordon Bleu cookery school called Silwood Kitchen in Cape Town in 2009. I had wanted a career change for a while, cooking had always been my passion, and at the time it was a good time to be living abroad!
What are your pet-peeves about the food industry? I get disgruntled at the high prices of inferior fare in restaurants. I understand that the price is covering a lot more costs than what you see on your plate but when there's a total lack of effort and no love gone into food that costs a bomb that gets my back up!
What would be your own ideal meal for a summer party let's say? Fresh Kerry crab & Dublin Bay prawns to start, rare beef fillet on the BBQ with Bearnaise sauce and lots of fresh salads for main and roasted peaches salted caramel ice-cream and crushed pistachio for dessert. Oh and not to forget Summer berry caprioskas to drink!
How much does space and the framing of a meal account for the overall experience and enjoyment? I think it depends on the occasion in hand. I'm massively interested in the look and feel of restaurants or the set-up and ambiance created at dinner parties but some of the most memorable food experiences I've had have been from sitting on a dusty side street in Vietnam slurping down Pho to enjoying the freshest buttery lobster on the side of a busy Long Island highway.

I tried for reservations at Brasserie Ten Ten for my 30th birthday next Saturday, but they are booked (at least for parties of 10).
I'm looking for good food in Boulder/Denver (we'll be coming from Ft. Collins) with at least a dish or two in the low teens (this excludes Frasca, Table 6, Fruition, Rioja, Vesta, and Mizuna) as most of the people coming are still students. Any ideas?
