The leader of Yemen's Houthi fighters has described his supporters' takeover of key parts of the capital, Sanaa, as a "successful revolution".
Abdul Malik al-Houthi said his movement had forced the government to give in to the demands of the people.
The Houthis and the government signed a deal on Sunday to end deadly clashes.
Under the UN-brokered deal, a new government will be formed and the Houthis and southern separatists will nominate a new prime minister.
"These great efforts created this great success - victory - for all the people, forcing an answer to popular demands," Houthi said, in a televised speech on Tuesday.
"If it is implemented, this agreement will also change the government, which the people called to fall, to fail, because it stood on an unjust, non-consensual basis," he said.
Houthi also called for his Shia group's partnership with Islah, the main Sunni party, the AFP news agency says.
Yemen has remained unstable since anti-government protests in 2011 forced the then-President Ali Abdallah Saleh from office.
Houthis, who are based in the mountainous north of Yemen, have been advancing on Sanaa for several weeks, skirmishing with rivals and staging mass protests calling for greater rights.
The Houthis belong to the minority Zaidi Shia community. They have staged periodic uprisings since 2004 to win greater autonomy for their northern heartland of Saada province.

At Dyne, we are often asked "What is the shelf life of my firefighting foam concentrate?" And the answer is – that depends. There are many factors that can affect shelf life. I will discuss the major ones here.
The Brand and Model of Foam – Though there are some similarities among the foams produced today, none are identical and some formulations will have longer shelf lives than others. Check with the manufacturer of your foam to obtain a shelf life estimate. Manufacturers typically run accelerated aging studies to predict the shelf life of a formulation.
Materials of Construction – The foam manufacturer should be able to provide acceptable materials of construction for storing their respective foam concentrate in order to maximize shelf life. This will include the tank, piping materials, valves, pumps and other surfaces that come in contact with the foam concentrate.
The 2016 edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard 11 - High, Medium and Low, Expansion Foam also provides recommendations on the materials of construction in contact with firefighting foam concentrate. NFPA 11 recommends that foam concentrate piping and fittings be constructed of brass (red or naval), bronze, stainless steel (304 or 316) or "other material, in accordance with the foam concentrate manufacturer's certification of compatibility with the foam concentrate and as approved by the AHJ". Carbon steel piping or fittings is not recommended for use with foam concentrate. See NFPA 11 Section 4.7.
An additional concern with materials of construction can be galvanic corrosion when using dissimilar metals. Dielectric components are recommended to insulate dissimilar metals – see NFPA 11 section 188.8.131.52.
Evaporation – Foam concentrates are typically made up of 60 to 80 percent water and 10 to 30 percent solvent such as ethylene glycol monobutyl ether. If left open to the atmosphere, the water and solvent in the foam concentrate can evaporate over time. If extensive evaporation occurs, the concentrate can become ineffective. The 2016 edition of NFPA 11 addresses this issue in Section 126.96.36.199: "The storage tank shall be designed to minimize evaporation."
Contamination – By far the most likely reason for a field foam to no longer perform is due to dilution with water. The system is connected to a water source by design and if the water inadvertently enters the foam concentrate tank, it can dilute the foam to the point where it will not perform effectively.
Mixing of Incompatible Foam Concentrates – Often times a foam concentrate tank must be topped off with additional foam after system testing or after a fire incident. Prior to adding foam concentrate to a tank, make sure the foam you are adding to the tank is compatible with the foam in the tank. The 2016 edition of NFPA 11 does not recommend that different types of foam concentrate be mixed in storage – for example do not mix an AFFF with a fluoroprotein foam. However, NFPA 11 does allow the mixing of the same type of foam concentrate as indicated in section 188.8.131.52 "Different brands of the same type of concentrate shall not be mixed unless data are provided by the manufacturer and accepted by the AHJ to prove they are compatible."
Storage Temperature – Foam concentrates are designed to be stored at a particular temperature range – the most common being between 35- and 120-degrees Fahrenheit. If stored below 35-degrees F, there is a risk of freezing. Typically freezing does not affect the shelf life of a foam concentrate though it can stratify with several freeze-thaw cycles which may require mixing prior to use. If stored above 120-degrees F, the shelf life can be decreased. In general, the higher the storage temperature, the shorter the shelf life of a foam concentrate. The 2016 edition of NFPA 11 section 188.8.131.52.2 states "Foam concentrates shall be stored within the listed temperature limitations."
Shelf Life of Foam Solutions – In general, once foam is mixed with water at its nominal concentration – say a 3% foam concentrate has be put into a storage tank with 3 parts concentrate and 97 parts water – it may have a significant reduction in shelf life. Again, the manufacturer of the foam should be consulted to determine the shelf life of a foam solution.
Summary – The shelf life of a foam concentrate can vary from type to type and from manufacturer to manufacturer. Additionally, many storage factors may affect the shelf life of a foam. This is why annually testing of foam concentrate is recommended.

LOS ANGELES — Schools in the US city of Denver closed on Wednesday amid fears that an armed woman obsessed with the Columbine High School massacre 20 years ago poses a "credible threat."
US authorities have mounted a massive search for Sol Pais, 18, who traveled from Florida to Colorado where she reportedly purchased a pump-action shotgun and ammunition.
"She is armed and considered to be extremely dangerous," the Jefferson County sheriff's office said.
Security fears have soared because Saturday is the 20th anniversary of the massacre, at the time the deadliest school shooting in US history, which unfolded in the Denver suburb of Columbine.
Two heavily armed gunmen killed 12 fellow students and a teacher before taking their own lives on April 20, 1999, setting off an era of mass shootings in US schools and other public venues.
"Metro area school districts will be closed on Wednesday, April 17 due to ongoing safety concerns," the Colorado Department of Education announced on its Twitter account.
That was a step up from Tuesday when it put Denver area schools on lockdown following an alert from the FBI and stepped up security.
Authorities have posted pictures of Pais, her unsmiling visage framed by shoulder-length brown hair.
She was last seen in Colorado on Monday night, the sheriff's office said.
"We are operating out of an abundance of caution. The threat is not isolated to one school or individual," Colorado's public safety department said on Twitter.
"Federal, state, and local law enforcement are working together to keep our community safe." — AFP

With the New Year here, many of us are contemplating how we can make this year even better than the last. Year after year "Health" resolutions are at the top of almost everyone's list for improvement. These typically include, exercising more, losing weight, eating more healthily and taking a more active approach to health. It's great that so many people have health at the top of their mind, but statistics tell us less than 10% of New Year Resolutions are ever met. We're sharing some tips below to help you improve your oral health and subsequently your overall health with goals you can manage and reach.
One of the first habits to modify is snacking. Continuous snacking can raise acidity in the oral cavity which increases your risk for tooth decay. While it's important to minimize snacking, if snacks are a part of your routine, be sure to choose healthy options. Making sure to pack your own snacks if you're out and about will prevent the inevitable afternoon indulgence. Here are some healthy ideas for snacking on the go:
– Low sugar protein or snack bars
-Vegetables: (Carrots, Celery etc)
-Plain Yogurt
It's also important to be sure you're drinking plenty of water and if you can't brush on the go, a little swish with water is always helpful!
Seeing as we are a dental office, we have to talk about flossing. Only 4 of 10 Americans floss daily, and 20% never floss! Flossing is a quick and simple addition to any routine. A good flossing routine only takes 2-3 minutes per night and can have a tremendous impact on oral and overall health. Periodontal disease is a very preventable disease, with good homecare and regular dental visits, but you can't expect to improve your oral health without changing your habits. There are alternatives to floss that are also useful, we recommend discussing which option is best for you with your hygienist.
So this year instead of having a grand goal to "Be Healthier" take a look at the actual habits you can add, quit or modify to increase your chance of success. These may include the topics we covered but may also include, quitting tobacco use, limiting added sugar or any other host of small changes. We are here to help you on a journey to a healthier you! Wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!

The figure was released at a conference on developing production and business plans for the domestic shrimp industry this year that was held on Wednesday by MARD in Soc Trang Province, one of large shrimp production localities in Viet Nam.
The directorate said the industry was expected to achieve a total shrimp output of 780,000 tonnes this year, including 300,000 tonnes of tiger shrimp and 480,000 tonnes of white-leg shrimp.
This year, the local shrimp industry would have many opportunities but also face great exporting challenges.
The hot weather and salinity can impact farming areas, according to the directorate.
To achieve the goal, Truong Dinh Hoe, general secretary of the Viet Nam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), said enterprises should focus on improving the competitiveness of Viet Nam's shrimp industry.
However, Vietnamese shrimp products still faced kinds of barriers such as anti-dumping tax and low price of shrimp imported from India. Meanwhile, key markets have strengthened quality control and food safety, including the US, the EU and South Korean markets.
Each year, Viet Nam has still imported 200,000-250,000 units of white-leg shrimp parents, satisfying 90 per cent of the domestic demand.
Meanwhile, price of Vietnamese shrimp is still higher than other countries because the industry has depended on imports of food and medicine for shrimp production.
Many farms have not received investment for infrastructure and technology, especially in extensive farming areas. There are still many small-scale farms lacking capital and investment opportunities.
According to the Directorate of Fisheries, the total area of farming brackish shrimp in 2018 reached more than 736,000 hectares, 3 per cent higher than the previous year, including 632,000 hectares raising tiger prawn and 104,000 hectares rearing white-leg shrimp. Provinces having increased farming areas include Bac Lieu, Kien Giang, Tra Vinh and Soc Trang.
Total output of brackish water shrimp in 2018 reached more than 762,000 tonnes, a year-on-year surge of 6.3 per cent, including 298,000 tonnes of tiger prawn and 464,000 tonnes of white-leg shrimp.
However, Viet Nam's shrimp industry only achieved export value of $3.6 billion last year, a year-on-year reduction of 7.8 per cent.
The shrimp exports to some major markets reduced in 2018 against the previous year, including mainland China and Hong Kong (down 28 per cent), the EU (down 2.8 per cent), the US (down 3.3 per cent), Japan (down 9.2 per cent) and Taiwan (2.6 per cent).

The jacket removal of the K10-B platform requires a unique tool: DECO's bespoke clay cutter dredge Hannibal.
K10-B platform
Project scope
Removal of Wintershall's K10-B platform in the Dutch North Sea. Together with heavy lift specialist Scaldis DECO executed the final pile cutting before heavy lifting. DECO's UHP abrasive water jet cutting technology was used to cut the piles of the jacket structure.
The jacket structure needs to be removed below seabed level. Survey results showed a number of soil plugs in the piles. Conventional pile dredges cannot disintegrate such compacted sediment layers. To alleviate this operational limit DECO designed the 'Hannibal Lecter' clay cutter dredge. HP water jets cut and penetrate the clay layer and cutting teeth scrape the weakened clay layer.
Subsequently DECO's internal cutting robot wedges itself in the pile at the desired depth and cuts the pile.

My card for today is for yet another sketch challenge. This time I'm playing along with the SOG monthly sketch and it sure is a fun one. I had these birthday type papers from the Party Day paper pad already pulled for a previous card but I ended up going super CAS with it so these ones didn't get used. I loved them though and thought that the sketch with it's cluster of banners would work really nicely with them. Sure, once I had the card put together, I could have chosen one of the birthday specific SOG images to go with it but something about the color scheme was really calling out for 1920's Gwen. I think it is pretty and kinda vintage/retro with the mix of red/mint/mustard so I just had to color Gwen up to match. All I can say is that I wish I looked as good as she does in a hat, LOL!
Okey dokey, time for me to get a move on.
Supply list:
cardstock- Bazzill and Copic X-Press It
paper- Crate (Party Day)
digital stamp- Some Odd Girl (1920's Gwen)
stamps- Papertrey Ink (stitches)
ink- Memento espresso truffle and Prima shabby tote ink
Crate Party day stickers
Kaiser Craft gems

Sharpie white marker

The path usually taken clearly hasn't led to enough positive results to make the case that it's a mistake to go another way - with that in mind, they threw out all the rules when it comes to launching a new token, and the project behind it.
For example you probably immediately thought 'ICO' upon reading the words 'startup' and 'token'.. but no, there will be no ICO.
Then surely, it's safe to assume they must be making the rounds pitching their concept to VC's, doing a standard 'series A' round of investments... but no, everyone on the team is too busy building to be distracted with that right now.
Okay, then this must just be something that's so early in its development it's nothing more than a "concept" and a bunch of hype, with a 50/50 chance of ever even happening… but wait... it's already here! Public beta testing has already began - anyone can try it right now!
When I say they've thrown out all the rules I wasn't kidding, and that doesn't stop with how TuneTrade planned their launch - it continues into what TuneTrade actually is.
TuneTrade's platform is rich with powerful tools, and they're putting them into the hands of anyone who wants them. This isn't an exaggeration, we're talking about something that can fundamentally change the entire landscape of the cryptocurrency and blockchain world.
Until now, even the vast majority of people who would consider themselves 'expert cryptocurrency traders' wouldn't know where to begin if you asked them how to create a cryptocurrency token themselves.
The day TuneTrade launches, that changes forever.
TuneTrade transforms the process of creating a token into something so easy that any brand, artist, start-up, or individual that wants one of their own can do it in minutes!
If you believe the future is tokenized, TuneTrade is a massive leap towards this theory becoming reality.
To the TuneTrade user, all that power is hidden behind a sleek and easy to use interface. The complex process of writing a smart contract and creating a token becomes as simple as naming it, deciding how many to create, and filling out the additional metadata like the author and website to associate it with.
Then, with the push of a button TuneTrade works it's magic, seconds later, you've created your own cryptocurrency!
Don't let the simplicity fool you, this is the real deal - an ERC20 token on the Ethereum blockchain! The creator also maintains full ownership and control over all of their tokens.
TuneTrade could have stopped at the token creation tool and still launched with plenty of excitement.
But like we said, TuneTrade isn't a normal startup.
Imagine how much easier managing a new cryptocurrency would be if you had the ability to automate parts of the distribution process.
Need to issue a set amount of tokens to someone on a specific date in the future? Maybe a long term partner you need to send 1000 tokens to per month for the next 12 months? TuneTrade users have the ability to schedule it all, and consider it done!
Last but not least is that big question that can make or break a token - "how can I get my token on an exchange?"
Well, TuneTrade IS also an exchange - all you need to do is list it!
TuneTrade can be used by literally anyone - the music world just presents the first and most obvious use case.
Today's modern musicians, record labels, and their management are no strangers to digital/virtual goods. Implementing cryptocurrency into a business and culture that's been selling MP3 files instead of CDs for quite some time is a natural evolutionary step.
From the cool-factor of fans owning and trading official artist coins, to marketing purposes such as artists offering token based rewards for purchasing their music or merchandise, along with ways to then spend those tokens, and enjoy special benefits for being a token holder. This is the superfan of the future.
But music is just the beginning - TuneTrade is available for anyone to use! Anyone who can come up with a way to use a cryptocurrency token can have one.
Retail stores, Restaurants, online storefronts, tech startups, nonprofits - the possibilities are endless.
The most exciting part may be finding out what the public will build once given the tools.
Beginning with a rock solid foundation that is TuneTrade's team, and community.
The TuneTrade team came together in a variety of ways, from meeting years ago working at previous jobs in tech, to standing in line next to each other at blockchain conferences.
Here you find TuneTrade's secret - a self sufficient team with every skill needed from coding and engineering, to marketing and logistics - TuneTrade's core leadership is comprised of experts in their respective fields.
This means all bases covered - without hiring a single outsider.
As the project grew it was often as simple as identifying what needs to be done next, and someone saying 'I know the perfect person to do it' - one phone call later, the team would have a new member!
While everyone involved has some past successes of their own and necessary expenses can be covered with private funding, TuneTrade's real funding is the same currency that built Silicon Valley - blood, sweat and tears.
Think back to the early days of our modern tech revolutionaries, powered by coffee and food delivery, grinding away until the sun began to rise the next morning. The same determined and focused mindset can be found within TuneTrade.
For a project that hasn't even officially launched yet, TuneTrade's growth is downright incredible.
They have been (and continue to) reward users who help give the beta platform a test run and spread the word, with small airdrops of their native TXT token - here's what's been accomplished so far:
Over 90,000+ users in their telegram channel.
Nearly 8000 Twitter Follows.
Official Launch as the site goes live and the platform moves over to the main Ethereum blockchain!
Token listing - The excitement in the cryptocurrency world has TuneTrade already in talks with multiple exchanges interested in listing their token - including some of the top ones that rarely would consider a project this new - have reached out!
New outreach focused on the Korean market.

Diabetes in Pets: On the Rise, But Treatable
This rise of diabetes is thought to be correlated with a rise in obesity.
Nearly 26 million people in the United States are living with diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and an estimated 7 million of these are not aware that they have diabetes. Diabetes is also a common problem—and can easily go undetected—in our pets.
According to Dr. Sallianne Schlacks, a veterinarian who is completing a residency in small animal internal medicine at the University of Illinois Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Urbana, the occurrence of diabetes in cats and dogs is on the rise.
In fact, one study found a 32 percent increase in incidence of diabetes in dogs and a 16 percent increase in cats between 2006 and 2010. This rise is thought to be correlated with a rise in obesity, a reduction in the amount of exercise pets are getting, and an increased lifespan for pets.
"Diabetes is characterized by high levels of blood sugar that arise because the body is not able to produce or to properly use insulin, a hormone produced in the pancreas," explains Dr. Schlacks. "The cells in the body need insulin in order to acquire sugar from the blood stream and use it for energy."
So how can you tell if your pet may have diabetes? According to Dr. Schlacks, a pet may show signs such as increased drinking (he or she may always be at the water bowl or you may notice having to fill the water bowl more often, increased urination (sometimes uncharacteristic accidents in the house), lethargy, an increase in appetite, weight loss (despite an increased appetite), and a dry coat.
Dr. Schlacks emphasizes that there is a difference between diabetes in cats and dogs.
"Dogs have what in people is called Type 1, or insulin-dependent, diabetes, and cats are more likely to acquire Type 2 diabetes," she says.
In Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas loses its ability to produce insulin. The treatment requires owners to give daily insulin injections to their dog. If you have a diabetic dog, Dr. Schlacks recommends also avoiding moist food and commercially available dog treats, which are usually very high in simple sugars. She advocates talking with your veterinarian to ensure that a diabetic dog is receiving a proper diet.
Feline diabetes is typically preceded by prolonged obesity, which causes the cells in the body to be resistant to insulin even when a normal level of insulin is present. According to Dr. Schlacks, most cats require insulin injections when the disease is first diagnosed, but unlike diabetes in dogs, which will require giving insulin injections the rest of the dog's life, diabetes in cats can sometimes go into remission.
In order to achieve remission in feline diabetes, weight loss and change to a diet that is low in carbohydrates and high in protein is recommended. Once cats achieve an ideal body weight, their insulin requirements often decrease. Some cats don't require any insulin, at which point they are considered to be in remission. Because these cats are always at risk for relapse, they must be closely monitored by a veterinarian.
If diabetes goes untreated, it may lead to other diseases, including urinary tract infections and life-threatening conditions such as pancreatitis and ketoacidosis. In dogs, but not cats, untreated diabetes is associated with cataracts.
Unfortunately there is no cure for diabetes, but maintaining your pet at a healthy weight can help decrease his or her risk for development of this disease. If your pet does become diabetic, the disease can be managed with veterinary supervision and a commitment to proper home care.
For more information about diabetes in pets, please see your local veterinarian.

It's not our culture, it's the system
This semester I am taking a sociocultural influences on learning course. I've read a lot, learned a lot, and have had multiple discussions with my peers and professor. My interest for our minorities and education has risen. So I came to soy explored a few old threads and there is a recurrent idea. That we are at fault for not being educated, that we do not take advantage of the education offered in this country.
While this is true, to some level, it goes deeper than that. The educational system in the United States is not the best for encouraging education amongst low income minorities. Before I get attacked and I am told how our education system is great, and better than Mexico (which I debate), let me explain. (Or may be not, I am sure most people are aware of our sucky education system)
White suburban schools vs inner city minority schools. Obviously everyone knows who has the higher ranking. I understand this isn't only a problem of race but also a problem of socioeconomics. These White people in these schools put so much time and money into their children's schools. I read about a school where parents in the PTA raised $80,000 in a school year, for supplementary materials and field trips. I am not disputing that this shouldn't be done, I am trying to point out that this equals unequal education, therefore we do not all have access to the same resources. Yet, our children are being tested on these standards. The tests are made for middle class, low income children, with English as a Native language. Our kids fail miserably at these tests (Not all, I know, but we shouldn't be guided by exceptions). I have seen this at play, for example math problems. The word left. John has three apples, he ate one how many does he have LEFT? the problem right next to it: There were five people at a party, two LEFT, how many remain? My student was very confused by this word, even though they understood the concept.
I have also read things like "Hispanic parents don't care about their children's education / They don't see the importance of education." I beg to differ, I have worked in several afterschool programs with low income minorities, and trust me these parents care. They take public transportation to take their children to tutoring, they bring small gifts to show appreciation, they sometimes don't go to the school that often but that is because they are working very hard trying to provide a living. Teachers judge parents too harshly. They feel that if the parent is not as involved as they like, that this parent doesn't care or doesn't think education is important. It is too quick of a judgment.
I have also read here on soy, "kids don't like learning/ they waste the golden opportunity of an education." While I agree that some people legitimately dislike school, I don't think this is the case in general. If you look at a group of first graders, they are EXCITED, THRILLED to start their first day of class. This dies down as school progresses, is this their fault? or is it ours?
Now another assumption: "All it takes is hard work." Well yes, but it is so much more than just hard work. Some white people may see, I worked really hard to get where I am, but then we realize that hey both parents are educated, if both of your parents went to college, you are going to college NO WAY AROUND IT. They have access to so many more resources. On the other hand, hard work doesn't always pay off with our minority children. I believe that they system can set you up for failure. Another quick example of the disadvantage in our higher education. There is a girl in my class who said her father is in the admission committee (or knows people in it), he contributes a lot of money to the university. The girl told us that the committee and alumni make sure that the University upsets majority White students, because they believe that minorities don't give back as much as White people.
I am sure, that all this information isn't NEW stuff to anyone, yet I want to instill respectful discussion around it, and hear more opinions.
I know that I say the system sets people up for failure, while I am an exception to the contrary. I went through elementary and secondary education in this country, through low income schools, with low income parents, and I made the most of it. Yet, we shouldn't use these outliers as models, we need to see that so many people are not making it, and stop blaming them, and look at the system.
Re: It's not our culture, it's the system
Well, seeing as nobody else has replied, I guess I'll bite the bullet and offer my two cents. The issue isn't nearly as black-and-white as most people make it seem, and most issues are interconnected.
My take? Parents could have encouraged English use at school as well as at home. There are tutoring services as well as self-help books. But we know most Mexicans parents aren't like that. If anything, they encourage their children to translate for them, since they don't want to immerse themselves in the language. And don't roll your eyes at me, because you KNOW its true for the majority. That's lack of confidence or incentive. I believe cultural and SES factors do play huge parts in this problem, since middle class Mexicans generally stress education and English learning skills very much. Its like taking a group of native Appalachians, throwing them in the middle of Tokyo, and expecting them to become world class engineers in just a few years. Not happening.
Be an opportunist. Work smarter, not harder. There's much more chances for upward mobility in the states than in Mexico, but sadly, you see more children and grandchildren of the original immigrants regressing in gains, and it almost makes the journey here seem pointless. There is financial aid, outreach programs, mentors, affirmative action, the list could go on. At some point both sides have to meet halfway instead of making excuses.
My parents worked full time, had little college, didn't stress academics much, and neither did my friends or majority of teachers. I did my research, started hanging with the right people, took action. Went from below average in HS to making the Dean's List in college, and on my way to adding "Magna Cum Laude" on my resume. I've already decided on my PHD career path, looking into schools, programs, and study habits for successful children, determined how to raise successful citizens. Lead by example. What will you do?
Edit: Forgot to add that most Mexicans who arrive are more short sighted and concerned with the here-and-now. Working for meals on the table, literally. My own mother had to give up higher education so her father could live off her earnings, going into the whole unconditional family loyalty aspect of Mexican culture, which I could easily rant about for pages but won't. While I realize it is not the case for every immigrant family, its a common theme: Parents pushing education down the list of priorities, since they see working asap as more beneficial in the short-run, thinking a longer time to wait for a decent paying job is a waste. They seem to be more content with any job that pays enough to survive. Another reason I think its our (educated Mex-Ams) responsibility to influence the coming generations; I'd like to see our average earnings, academic success, and university enrollment increase significantly within the next few decades. With less immigrants coming through the border, the achievements should have a bigger chance of recognition by mainstream Americans. Only time will tell, but I'm hopeful.
Re: It's not our culture, it's the system
I care about my education, can give less of a fuck about about school though
I learned more from reading independently and from the internet than I ever did in high school and middle school combined, more useful and accurate things too
That being said we have to take education into our own hands, it can certaintly be difficult but when it comes down to it the only people we can truly depend on are ourselves
Re: It's not our culture, it's the system
They seem to be more content with any job that pays enough to survive.
Exactly the way I have seen things happen in Chicano households over and over again.
Re: It's not our culture, it's the system
Re: It's not our culture, it's the system
Without pursuing an education they have resigned themselves

If you are looking a high education or even a trade school it would be smart to get a mentor. The black community always encourages mentors
Re: It's not our culture, it's the system
It's ridiculous what one has to pay in the US for an education. All to end up in great debt? Really? :rolleyes:

What's the deal with pizza? No, that's not a Jerry Seinfeld opener, but an actual question we're asking, considering everyone's favorite junk food has been popping up in unlikely places lately—such as on a full-body suit worn by model Cara Delevingne and in sundry formations in the new Katy Perry music video.
In many ways, fashion is at a kitschy, almost childlike, place right now—things like cartoon prints, palm trees, hearts, and quippy sayings aren't uncommon—and pizza plays right into that, but it's actually been a pretty big part of America's cultural landscape for quite some time, though not quite as brazenly as it is right now (ahem, Beyoncé in a high-fashion pizza suit.) To prove it, read on for 15 times pizza influenced pop culture. Warning: probable hunger ahead.
The 1950s
In the early 1950s, servicemen returning from Italy brought back a taste for pizza, which previously had been a regional dish popular in immigrant neighborhoods in New York and Chicago. It wasn't until Dean Martin started singing his 1952 hit "That's Amore" that people really started to pay attention to the cheesy flatbreads. C'mon sing it with us: "When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that's amore…"
After WWII, actual pizza places began to open up, and—in 1958—two men named Dan and Frank Carney borrowed $600 from their mom and opened the first Pizza Hut in Wichita, Kansas. Frat boys and stoners everywhere are still thanking them.
The 1960s
By the early 1960s, the Carneys realized that Pizza Hut franchise was starting to face some serious competition, and needed to find a way to distinguish their stores from all other pizza joints popping up. Their solution? The now-iconic red thatched roof that's still being used today.
The 1970s
Thanks to the fact that so many Americans relied on food delivery during the '70s, pizza became a staple in—what else?—porn! Throughout the decade, the "pizza delivery guy" became a stock character in adult flicks, and he usually got to have sex with a bunch of horny women who happen to be having a sleepover.
The 1980s
Pizza played a big role in an oddly large amount of entertainment during the '80s, including 1982's "Fast Times at Ridgemont High (when Spicoli—payed by Sean Penn—orders a pizza to class), the Fat Boys' 1984 song "Jailhouse Rap" which is about going to jail for eating pizza, the character of Pizza the Hutt in 1987's "Space Balls," and the absolutely phenomenal 1988 rom-com "Mystic Pizza" which starred a young Julia Roberts, among other '80s It-girls as waitresses at a local pizza joint in Mystic, Connecticut.
The '80s also brought with it Polly-O string cheese—a novelty at the time, considering it was a portable block of mozzarella—and its first commercial became an instant classic thanks absurd lines like "gimme a pizza, hold the sauce! Gimme a pizza hold the crust!" and "Bellisimo! Magnifique! C'est si bon!"
The 1990s
Cowabunga dudes, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles burst onto the pop culture scene in 1990, and brought with them a major obsession with pizza. Seriously, these guys couldn't get enough of the stuff, and a predictably large number of franchise tie-ins were born.
The '90s also gave birth to the unyielding classic piece of music known as "Gimme Pizza," Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's definitive masterpiece. They had kids everywhere rapping "Gimme pizza! P-I-Z-Z-A!"
Obviously, the millennium brought several pizza references, but there's something about the last year that really brought it back into sharp focus, thanks to celebrities' obsession with wearing it. Both Katy Perry and Cara Delevingne were spotted wearing Beloved's $99 pizza onesie. Perry wore pizza-shaped earrings and a pizza-print bathing suit in her "This is How We Do" video, and Beyoncé recently stepped out in a headline-making pizza outfit which was part of Tokyo-based model Kiko Mizuhara's capsule collection for Opening Ceremony.
Obviously, you're going to eat a pizza now but before you do, let us know what you think of the recent pizza trend!

With six hotels offering a total of about 1,000 rooms planned for the next five years, Milpitas may ask voters to raise the hotel room tax to add millions of dollars to its revenue stream.
The City Council voted unanimously on May 1 to survey residents' willingness to support raising the room tax from 10 percent to 12 or 14 percent.
Between 400 and 600 residents will be surveyed over the phone and if enough say they're for it, a tax increase could be placed on the Nov. 6 general election ballot.
Milpitas currently has 19 hotels and motels with a total of 2,692 rooms, which city officials expect to generate $12.8 million in room taxes in the next fiscal year beginning July 1.
At the current 10 percent rate, the room tax from new hotels would bring in an additional $5 million next fiscal year and about $18 million more by 2023-24. The tax would ultimately generate roughly $22 million more if raised to 12 percent and $25 million if raised to 14 percent, according to the city.
That extra money could help offset budget shortfalls projected at roughly $1 million by fiscal year 2019-20 and $3.4 million by 2023-24, city finance reports indicate
Someone who books a hotel room in Milpitas for $150 a night pays a $15 tax today but would get socked with an $18 daily tax if the rate is 12 percent and $21 if it's 14 percent.
Councilmen Garry Barbadillo and Bob Nuñez both asked if a higher hotel tax could drive business to hotels in nearby cities with lower rates.
Edesa Bitbadal, the city's economic development director, said she thinks it won't be an issue for Milpitas because many other South Bay cities have higher rates. San Jose's hotel tax is at 14 percent, for example.
Bitbadal also noted that many of the hotel guests in Milpitas are business travelers, so room taxes aren't a big concern to them.
"The number one factor they look for is proximity to the company they are going to go to. It's different than leisure travel," she said. "They don't look at rates."
But Tom Jacobson, director of development for Utah-based Lodging Dynamics Hospitality Group, which in April won approval for a new 194-room hotel in Milpitas, said the city must also consider others who book hotels.
"It's a balancing act," he said, noting non-business travelers are typically more cognizant of hotel rates and extra fees.
"A hotel needs to sell 365 nights a year," Jacobson said. "What about every weekend that you need to fill your hotel for 52 weeks a year?"
During the first three months of 2018, the occupancy rate for hotels in Santa Clara County was 74.9 percent, up 0.4 percent from the same period in 2017, according to STR, a Tennessee-based market researcher that tracks the lodging industry.
"Right now you probably can get away with it," Jacobson said of a hotel tax increase, citing the strong demand for hotel rooms in Milpitas and surrounding areas driven by Silicon Valley's vibrant economy.
"When things are harder and people are looking more closely at their discretionary income and also their business travel costs, it could make an impact on where people choose to stay," he said.
The polling was to begin this month and run through early June, according to a staff report. The council is expected to decide next month whether to place a hotel tax increase measure on the November ballot.
Staff writer George Avalos contributed to this report.

On saturday's i have been going to woof woof meow meetings. The woof woof meow is a dog walking club. I am with my friends in it. The meetings have mostly been at my friend Zea's house, but the last one was at my friend Dora's house. Only Dora and I were there though. It was still a blast, even without Zea And Jillian. We played with dolls, had fun with her dog Clifford, ate lunch, and Dora gave me a tour of her house. It was soooooooooooooooooooooooo much fun! I loved it! Here are some pics of what we should have been doing:

In this post i will be doing the second half of my portland trip. You can probably see that by the title a little bit. I got to do a lot of things in portland. It was the best! The person who i got to hang out with the most is my cousin Rowan. She is my best friend in my family. We have hung out a lot together over the years. This time i got to go rock climbing with her, go to her house a lot, i got to be with her and her brother my cousin Tobias at my grandma kathy and grandpa mark's house, and i got to hang out with her on some pretty amazing road trips. The rock climbing place that we went to was called Source Climbing. Here are some pictures of us doing that:
Juliette my best friend
Juliette is my best friend. You can probably see that by the title up top. She has been my best friend since kindergarten. That means that we have been friends for about 4 years. We have been best friends for four years and we have only been in the same class once, and that was in second grade. Can you believe that! Tell me down in the comments below. i call Juliette juju for short sometimes.
Tomorrow i get to have a playdate with Juju so we are going to take her home with us after school tomorrow. I am so exited! After the playdate is done, we are going to go meet up with juju's mom at Side A Brewery for dinner. I can't wait until tomorrow!!!!!!!!
my new friend
So in this blog i am going to be talking about a friend that i made in my neighborhood. The friend that i made is a boy and his name is Jarrett. He is five. I know, i know, i am playing with a five year old and i am nine, but he is really fun to play with. I mean you can't blame me in my neighborhood because there are hardly any kids there anyway.
He is so fun to play that i have literally gone to his house every day since i met him.
Here is a little clip of us messing around in a youtube video:

I really liked this image when i saw it in my twitter feed.. funny but kinda real. Enjoy.
Quick back story:
After getting all of my investing and retirement accounts in order a couple of my friends (one of them is a agent and the others father is an agent) suggested that I get Life insurance I told them I already have term insurance and so does my wife. They both told me that term is not good and I should get Whole Life Insurance. I asked them about the benefits of whole life and this is where the marketing of FEAR came out. Here are some of the key phrases they both used:
– You might die broke
– Your taxes might be at 50% when you retire
– The world economy is so volatile you dont know when things will be stable
– The market (stock, financial markets) never returns anyone any real money
– You might die right after your term expires
– You need protection, term is not protection.
Since I am a marketer by trade, you have to know that these tactics do not work anymore. 10 years ago, maybe. Right now there is so much information available to the common person that they can do their own research and look things up in an instant. You should not market on fear since that does not do really well with anyone that has some sort of financial education in this case.
Only market on the benefits of the product. That's it. If someone doesn't think the benefits relate to them at all or do not find anything useful in the product, then I would repeat the benefits or come at it on a different angle. Marketing is about bringing value to the consumer not fear. Needless to say, I did not buy whole life.

I will try to keep this as short as possible. I wanted to see if I needed a new roof after Sandy, luckily Power HRG (based in Melville, NY) was door knocking trying to solicit business. They knocked on my door and I made an appt for someone to come that night.
They came about 30 mins early which I didnt mind, sat down and asked me some questions about my house. I told them everything, the guy then showed me videos, educating me on how roofers work. I really liked being educated. He took me outside and measured the roof himself. I also told him I am thinking of replacing some windows as well. He went back into his car and got some window products to show me and make me realize why they have the best windows in the world. By the way, he was in my house for 4 hours. I gave hints that I was busy but he still did his thing.
Here comes the (marketing) scam. He basically created the estimates for the roof and windows separately and then told me his First Time Visit price. If I sign up and do my roof right now it will cost me 15k, if he has to come back it will cost 17k. You gotta be kidding me!! I mean really, 2k more for calling you back to sign up. Of course this was a MAJOR turn off. He then told me his UPS analogy and how if UPS has to come to the house several times to get a package signed it costs the company a lot of money, so if he had to do the same it costs money. Sounded like a bunch of BS to me. I mean, how am I suppose to compare prices with anyone else? Talk about high pressure sales in your own house.
Now as a marketer I know the whole shtick but the analogy does not make sense to me since I am the buyer. If I order something and UPS ships it, if they have to come to my house several times, I do not care since I am the buyer. It costs the same to me either way! UPS is showing their exceptional customer service and commitment to getting the goods delivered. After that I thought I am not doing business with Power HRG, I just didn't like their attitude towards potential customers. It wasn't the sales guys fault, he was just doing what he was trained to do, but the training he received was disappointing.
Moral: Get your marketing story right and give exceptional customer service because that is what will take your from good to great!

(Editor's note: This is the third in a four-part series on the reconstruction of the South Nevada Avenue corridor.)
Along with Sam and Kathy Guadagnoli and Danny Mientka, local businessman Walt Harder has invested millions of dollars to restore the blighted area that serves as one of the main arteries to The Broadmoor hotel and downtown Colorado Springs.
With an approved urban renewal plan, the developers created their own goals and teams for the 96-acre project on South Nevada Avenue.
Harder's company owns the smallest parcel — 3.6 acres south of Navajo Street and north of Ramona Avenue — but he's planning new quick-serve restaurants and a Natural Grocers to occupy the retail buildings that his company hopes to build by next January.
"I plan to turn a lot of nothing into something," he said. "This is a beautiful part of town, so why shouldn't the strip be attractive too?
"Unless an unforeseen disaster strikes the economy, you're going to see 30 to 45 new jobs created and the neighborhood in much better shape over the next five to 10 years."
Out with the old
Harder said when he returned to his hometown of Colorado Springs two years ago from Salida [where some of his business interests remain] he was surprised to see that the South Nevada Avenue area still was just as decrepit as he remembers it from the '70s and '80s.
"Growing up here, it was always a laughingstock part of town and known for prostitution, drugs and crime," Harder said. "Being a gateway to main attractions, it should be cleaner, safer and nicer."
"I plan to turn a lot of nothing into something. This is a beautiful part of town so why shouldn't the strip be attractive too?"
– Walt Harder
Harder's company, Harder-Diesslin Development Group LLC, has developed sites for O'Reilly Auto, Sherwin-Williams and FedEx Ground Transit.
Harder said he plans to tear down old businesses, including the rundown Cheyenne and Chief motels, to make way for two retail spaces — 15,000- and 9,800-square feet each — that will house a Natural Grocers and other businesses along the west side of South Nevada.
Tenants in the Chief Motel have been notified of his plans and Gray's Tire & Auto will relocate, according to Harder.
"We'd like to talk to a liquor store about relocating in the strip center," he said. "We're looking for some high-sales-type businesses to generate some tax revenue."
While Guadagnoli plans to introduce high-end dining, such as a steak and seafood restaurant at 1605 S. Tejon St., Harder said he hopes to expand casual dining options in the area by adding two local and two chain restaurants.
"We tried to incorporate local as best as we could because this project is a keeper," he said. "We're not just building to flip it; we're going to own the property and keep it."
Plans moving forward
Harder began working on the project last spring and has already invested $2 million in the $12-15 million plan. He said he hopes to start construction in June and have businesses up and running early next year.
Just before the new year, the Colorado Springs Urban Renewal Authority and City Council approved the project's urban renewal plan, allowing coverage on city infrastructure upgrades through tax increment financing.
"Now we're going through our own separate development plans," Harder said. "All the developers know roughly what each is doing because it was a part of the approval process for the TIF."
Getting the different parcels under contract for planning and development purposes is like herding cats, Harder said.
"The most challenging part is that even though most everyone is willing to sell, it's the question of price," he said.
"That's why the TIF exists. It's not to enhance the income of the developer, rather to pay the premium to the sellers. If there was no TIF, this area would remain just as ugly as it is for the rest of time."
Neighborhood support
Bill Kenline, owner and manager of the Rodeway Inn located on South Nevada, across the street from Harder's property, said he thinks the redevelopment is a step in the right direction.
The hotel was built in 1957 as the Western Hills Inn. In 2003, Kenline purchased it as an Econo Lodge and changed it to a Rodeway Inn.
He's signed an agreement with Danny Mientka to buy the property, and said he's not sure if his business will remain open past August.
"If we stay here, it'll be the fourth time new plans have fallen through," Kenline said, admitting that he isn't taking anything for granted at this point, despite the positive indications.
"Since there is still some unknown, we're continuing to renew our Yellow Pages ads, take reservations for the summer and train new staff."
Lots of obstacles
But if the deal goes through, Kenline said he's setting aside severance packages for his motel employees when the business closes its doors.
"Having a business on South Nevada has presented unique challenges — very different from any other hotel I've operated," he said.
"We have an interesting dichotomy to deal with."
After years of paying for flood insurance, dealing with barefoot stragglers under the influence of alcohol and drugs, and locals checking into the motel for odd reasons — Kenline said it's time for change.
"It's made things stressful and I've had to provide protection for out-of-town customers," he said.
David Alejandre, assistant manager at the Dollar Tree store next to Harder's property, agreed that redevelopment can only help the area.
"I think the new look will attract more businesses," he said.
"It's worth the city investing in, and [it] will be better all around for businesses and the community."

LOVED this!!! So did the whole family! I didn't have any corned beef though, so I just used deli-sliced ham that I cut up into small pieces. It was wonderful and we will definitely be making this again!

Look at her boots! Her Yo, Gabba Gabba! backpack! That prop that looks like a medical walking stick but is actually a wooden sword she picked out from a souvenir shop at the Budapest airport!
It's official. I don't know why any of us even bother.

Reds and Trout on Fire
Starting on 6 Dec went fishing with Wounded Warrior Anglers Matlacha Regiment internal fishing tournament and it was a great day for all the boats. As for my boat carrying two Wounded Warrior Members I started the day buying bait at Seven Seas Bait and Tackle in Matlacha and headed to the dock to pick up my crew. With the morning being a bit chilly and the water was almost at a negative low tide. I decided to head south to Sanibel bridge and fish with the incoming tide and work my way back up through Matlacha on up to Bokeelia. And that turned into a great day catching almost everything on a fisherman's list of fish to catch. As the tide started coming in we saw the bait start hitting the flats the birds attacking from above and a lil bit later there were fish under them attacking also. Our first stop started with a bull red breaking off after a minute or two fight. A couple minutes later we were on slot reds. After this we decided to fish around the miserable mile and in the channel were thousands of trout and lady fish galore catching fish with almost every cast. After this died down we headed a little farther North and got on more trout and ladyfish. There were plenty of big sheeps head around stealing our bait but no one wanted to downsize on hooks to catch these guys. A little bit later we were in Matlacha and back on slot reds and also started seeing other boats belonging to Wounded Warrior Anglers that were also on the fish. Heading North out of Matlacha the story continued until we had to head back to the Old Fish House to meet up with all the other Veterans for fish tales drinks and a meal. It was a great day out on the water and hanging with my fellow Veteran Brothers in Arms.
On 9 Dec I took out a Darrin who was down from Michigan with the weather cloudy windy and bitterly cold we headed out. With the tide headed out going towards another Negative tide we were looking for reds on the flats and trying not to get stuck with the fast outgoing tide. We found a school or reds before the water got to skinny and got a couple of them before leaving the area. The bite turned off for a couple hours and we were waiting for the incoming tide that was going to be slow moving thanks to the North wind. But as the tide changed we were now moving locations every twenty or so minutes catching reds here and there. And wouldn't you know it the sun comes out as we headed off the water. All in all it was another successful day despite the weather being miserable catching fish kept us warm.
Tight Lines
If you're ready to go fishing give me a call to plan your trip so we can try and catch the tides right. As I do cater to the Veteran community, if you're a Veteran with proof I have the best prices around and I guarantee it. My Charter business is by word of mouth only or by my fishing reports calling in.

Work on Jang-e-Azaadi memorial to start soon: Badal
Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal said on Saturday that the work on the construction of Jang-e-Azaadi memorial at Kartarpur would start soon.punjab Updated: Sep 08, 2012 18:03 IST
Punjab chief minister Parkash Singh Badal said on Saturday that the work on the construction of Jang-e-Azaadi memorial at Kartarpur would start soon.
The chief minister, who visited the proposed site of the memorial, held a meeting with officials to expedite the process of building this ambitious project.
The museum would be a tribute to the Indian freedom fighters who sacrificed their lives during the Independence struggle.
During his deliberations with the officials, Badal was told that 25-acres of land belonging to the state government had been transferred to the tourism and culture department for the memorial.
The chief minister said the state government was all set to finalise the necessary formalities for the museum.
He said the Rs 100-crore memorial would be a humble, but befitting tribute from the state government, to the great heroes and martyrs from all over the country who laid down their lives to free our motherland.
Badal said the memorial would prove to be a source of inspiration for the coming generations, and would help inculcate the values of patriotism and nationalism in them.
The chief minister informed that he, along with the other members of the concept committee, had recently visited many memorial sites across the country to conceptualise the upcoming memorial.
Those who were present on the occasion included chief editor of the Ajit Group of newspapers, the member secretary of Jang-e-Azaadi foundation, Barjinder Singh Hamdard, principal secretary to the chief minister, SK Sandhu, special principal secretary to the chief minister Gurkirat Kirpal Singh, deputy commissioner Priyank Bharti and chairman of the district planning committee Gurcharan Singh Channi.
