Middletown teacher, cancer survivor urges women to prioritize health
Grade-school teacher, breast cancer survivor urges young women to prioritize health
MIDDLETOWN >> At 29, Claire Di Cenzo was stunned to learn she had breast cancer.
In remission two years later, Di Cenzo has become a speaker and advocate, sharing her personal journey at events and through a blog intended to shed light on the need for breast cancer research. The Middletown resident is captain of "Claire's PerkyBits," a team of runners competing in the 23rd annual Susan G. Komen Southern New England Race for the Cure Greater Hartford.
Healthy today, but citing bad knees, Di Cenzo isn't running in the race on June 4 in Hartford. Instead, she'll offer remarks at the fundraising event. Survivors are encouraged to join Komen Southern New England at the iHeart Media Survivor Breakfast beginning at 7 a.m., followed by the survivor procession.
With local coverage of the race in high gear, Di Cenzo has stepped up her advocacy and education efforts, landing a guest spot today on Better Connecticut with Scot Haney and Kara Sundlun, an article by the Breast Cancer Research Foundation during National Teacher Appreciation Week and speaking at Anytime Fitness, the Cromwell gym where Di Cenzo works out.
She's also sent a flurry of inquiries to literary agents shopping a book proposal based on her humourous PerkyBits Wordpress blog, soon to go live at perkybits.com.
After Di Cenzo, a first-grade teacher in Southington, felt a marble-size lump in her breast while bathing in 2014, she went to see her doctor. She soon became her own health advocate, questioning health professionals about her treatment and making choices for her future, including fertility preservation.
Today, she doesn't hesitate to tell other young women to "go to your doctor yesterday" if they are unsure about checking something suspicious. "You never know what it may be," Di Cenzo says.
Di Cenzo encourages women to not let anyone tell them that they are too young to have breast cancer, because they are not. "I just wanted my life to be normal," she explained, so she continued to work throughout chemotherapy and radiation appointments and scheduling her recovery time over a long weekend. The principal and staff at Thalberg Elementary School provided full support to Di Cenzo, she said.
Race for the Cure Greater Hartford takes place June 4 at Bushnell Park and includes a 5K run and 5K walk on a 3.1-mile course. Youth under 16 may take part in the timed or untimed 5K or the kids 1K.
Seventy-five percent of Komen Southern New England's net proceeds support local breast cancer programs across Connecticut and the remaining 25 percent is invested in research to find the causes and cures for the disease, according to the nonprofit.

It is generally recognized as Vonnegut's most influential and popular work. A central event is Pilgrim's surviving the Allies' firebombing of Dresden as a prisoner-of-war. This was an event in Vonnegut's own life, and the novel is considered semi-autobiographical.

I have tried the adb in the sources list, e.g. apt-get install adb, same problem as I'm having with adb-dev/5.1.1/ compiled for arm by Eugen (https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/q ... spberry-pi). After removing the stock adb I copied the adb-dev to /usr/bin/ and can recognize the sideloaded device, a 2017 Amazon Fire purchased in Nov. 2018 from Amazon, and listed under devices by serial number and sideload. Same behavior as the stock adb.
I have the Fire firmware binary, a .bin file.
adb fails to read the file to push it to the Fire. Permissions are 0777 on the binary and adb is being run by root.
I note this is an rpi3 and this seems to be difficult at times. I'm tempted to go to an earlier rpi with a vanilla noobie install unless someone can help me get this done on the rpi3.

If you can't make it to Munich for the original Oktoberfest celebration, a small city in Northern Michigan might be the next-best place to celebrate — or at least to grab a beer.
Traverse City, Michigan, is ranked No. 1 on Trulia's Oktoberfest Index — a list of the 10 best places in America to celebrate the annual German festival.
Trulia, a real estate listing website, analyzed cities based on how many beer amenities — like breweries, bars and bottle shops — they have per household, as well as how many of their residents identify themselves as being primarily of German ancestry.
Smaller cities like Traverse City — which has a population of about 15,000 — dominate the top 10 spots on Trulia's Oktoberfest Index:
The best place to be is in smaller metro areas, where your beer sources are plenty and the homes are cheap.
The 10 best-ranked cities on Trulia's index are:
- Traverse City, Michigan
- Bend-Redmond, Oregon
- Fort Collins, Colorado
- Boulder, Colorado
- Duluth, Minnesota
- Madison, Wisconsin
- San Luis Obispo, California
- Lawrence, Kansas
- Missoula, Montana
- Portland, Oregon
Last month, Travel & Leisure magazine also ranked larger American cities based on their locally made craft beers:
Some of the top 20 beer cities have brewing histories that predate Prohibition, but many are still finding their own flavor — literally — using local ingredients like pecans, bourbon barrels, or even frozen lemonade. Others offer quirky settings and back stories: One city brewery came out of a weekly Bible study group (Monday Night Brewing in Atlanta); another offers regular yoga classes inside the taproom (GoodWood in Louisville, Kentucky).
Portland, Oregon, is No. 1 on the magazine's list and is also the only city to appear in both Trulia's and Travel & Leisure's rankings.
The cities that made Travel & Leisure's top 20 are:
- Portland, Oregon
- Kansas City, Missouri
- Minneapolis/St. Paul
- Cleveland
- Houston
- Providence, Rhode Island
- Louisville, Kentucky
- Austin, Texas
- Denver
- Atlanta
- Memphis, Tennessee
- Philadelphia
- Nashville, Tennessee
- Portland, Maine
- Seattle
- Boston
- Albuquerque, New Mexico
- San Diego
- Chicago
- Baltimore

Flip Skateboards was born in the UK. Originally named Deathbox, they changed to Flip in 1994 and moved to the USA as they sought to grow the company and to become fully legit in the eyes of the skate industry at the time.
Upon arriving in California, Flip skateboards impact was rapid and sharp, riders Geoff Rowley, Tom Penny and Rune Glifberg made a serious dent by laying down some gnarly skateboarding, forcing Flip's acceptance. Geoff Rowley went on to become one of the gnarliest street skaters of his, or any generation, and deservedly got a pro shoe with Vans. Tom Penny became worshipped like a god through his effortless style.
Flip released the video Sorry in 2002, which continued their assault on skateboarding as the team grew out to include Mark Appleyard, Ali Boulala, Alex Chalmers, Arto Saari and Bastien Salabanzi. Really Sorry followed only a year later, continuing a serious level of skateboarding and expanding the team to PJ Ladd. Extremely Sorry, their third video concluded in 2009 adding, Rodrigo Tx, Lance Mountain, Bob Burnquist, Ben Nordberg, Shane Cross, with young rippers David Gonzalez, Luan de Oliveira, Louie Lopez, and Curren Caples.

So you find that great piece of sea glass on the beach or a beautiful rock during a walk that you want to make into a pendant for a necklace.
But you have no idea how to do it. You know you would like to wire wrap it but it seems so difficult.
Well here's my secret--it isn't!
I wire wrap all shapes and sizes of sea glass and stones to make pendants, and with just a little patience, and following the steps below, you can create your own handmade earthy design!
Pictorial for Wrapping Sea Glass
You can find out more about the different pliers and cutters from the blog postLoop? Wrap? Cut?
If this is your first time playing around with wire, it will be trial and error until you have a sense of how much is needed.
For me it depends on how much wire I have left, but generally I prefer to make another wrap along the glass for security, closer to the top. In the picture below, the wire was brought to the back, then then front, up to the neck to finsih making wrapping loops until I used all my wire.
Below is the front of the pendant.
I hope you enjoed this tutorial!

Editor's Message
We've only just begun…
It's one year before the 2008 presidential primary actually begins, and already the field is overflowing with contenders, pretenders, rock stars, hangers-on, early risers, late bloomers, and nice guys who will finish last. So feverish is the media excitement over this race that only the death of a real horse, Barbaro, could knock Rupert Murdoch's new favorite candidate, Hillary Clinton, off the cover of the New York Post. With a billion-plus dollars expected to circulate throughout the 2008 campaign, media barons like Murdoch certainly stand to gain. The rest of us will just have to watch and see what we get out of the deal.
On the Democratic side, nearly all the candidates seem to favor some form of universal health care and a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. Both are worthy goals, but the specifics of the candidates' actual plans seem a bit murky. Such a statement nevertheless may be hopelessly naïve on my part—after all, in the age of celebrity politicians, what really matters is that our leaders appear to understand our position and be on our side. The Republican hopefuls also include an array of Iraq war critics and some candidates who are at least concerned about health care. Why the frontrunner, John McCain, has embraced Bush's foolish call for a "surge" in Iraq is puzzling, but as one leading veteran of the political trenches recently told me, "When McCain doesn't believe something but it's popular, he'll fake it. But when he really believes something, even it's unpopular, he'll support it." Now that's leadership.
A third, perhaps even more important issue—global warming—may, or may not, heat up the race. But rest assured, Senators Clinton, Obama and McCain strongly oppose it, and no contender to date has staked out a pro-global warming position, although it's still early (or perhaps too late). Are melting ice caps the new mushroom clouds? If and when An Inconvenient Truth, Al Gore's hybrid vehicle, wins the Oscar for Best Documentary, will Gore join the battle royal for the Democratic nomination? With one year to go, all I can say is this: so many questions, so much time.

Collapsed FieldBy John Cappetta

Artist-Endowed Foundations: Mapping the FieldBy Christine J. Vincent

Artist-endowed foundations ("AEFs") are increasing in number due to the convergence of three factors—demographic trends in the artist population, the continuing rise in the global art market, and artists' desires to provide for their creative works and philanthropic interests in the long-term.

In the Field: Sharon Lockhart, James Benning, and PeopleBy Steffanie Ling
APR 2018 | Film
In a conversation between filmmakers James Benning and and Sharon Lockhart after a screening of their films L. Cohen (2017) and Rudzienko (2014), Benning starts things off with a little joke. He sets it up. Two planets. The first planet says, "I have people," and the second responds, "Don't worry, that will pass." The joke is over. The audience laughs. We can derive humor from the idea (the fact?) that the human race is a blight on any environment unfortunate enough to appear bountiful before us, but I suspect that Sharon Lockhart actually kind of likes people.

Best Cars with Big Incentives for December 2017You're going to see lots of lists highlighting cars with big-time incentives and discounts, especially now in December as we reach the end of the year. However, who cares if something is on sale if it's not very good? Too often these lists focus on the discount rather than the car, so here is our list of the BEST (and coolest) cars with big incentives for December 2017.
2017 Ford Focus ST: $3,500 off
The Focus ST will put a great big smile on your face every time you drive it, and given its practicality, you can drive it quite a bit. It's also a performance bargain, but there's currently at least $3,500 on its hood for 2017 models.
Compare potential new vehicle purchases using our tool.
Ford Focus Information
Sure, any Challenger R/T or 392 is eligible for this discount. That's awesome, but we just like calling out that there's a car called the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Shaker. The fact that you can pick one up for at least $3,750 is a big fat bonus. (And no, that discount doesn't apply to the Hellcat. Don't be greedy).

During the summer of 2015 more than 1,541 fires burned in excess of 1.1 million acres across Washington. Tribal and county leaders were scrambling to meet the needs of their community members during this crisis and many looked first to our WSU Extension Tribal Office and County Directors for advice and assistance in responding to the many challenges created by the wildfires.
In August 2015, WSU Extension leadership created an Extension Wildfire Response and Recovery Team. Efforts of the team focused first on supporting Extension County and Tribal Office Directors and their efforts in northeast and north central Washington, as they were in the midst of helping their communities respond to fire-related issues. County and Tribal Extension personnel were called to help their county leaders deal with a myriad of situations from assisting in managing a shelter in a local school, to helping get ahold of the best information available for dealing with fire- and smoke-exposed livestock.
Based on the success of the WSU team developed in 2014 to assist with recovery after the mudslide, Extension leadership relied on Division of Government Studies and Services' Office of Emergency Management to help coordinate WSU expertise in support of response, incident recovery, and long-term recovery. That team not only provided coordination and access to resources, but also set out to enhance WSU Extension's future readiness across Washington once they were able to successfully assist in managing immediate issues caused by the wildfires.
The original team has now been converted to two teams. One team is looking specifically at continued participation in long-term recovery, while the other team is focused on positioning Extension more strategically to support future disaster engagement. The teams continue to work toward enhanced capacity for emergency response and continuity of local Extension operations, and will continue working to bring university resources to bear on what promises to be a recurring problem for the foreseeable future.
"In 2015, the Carpenter Road fire destroyed 63,972 acres in Stevens County and on the Spokane Indian Tribe Reservation. As the confusion grew, Extension relied on our faculty and research colleagues across the WSU system to find answers and solutions as they were coming in the door. For example, as they were dropping retardant on blazing fires, we were scrambling to determine the impact on livestock and drinking water. Working together after the fire has created an additional team spirit to prepare better as we plan for future disasters." – Debra Hansen, director, Stevens County Extension
"During the 2015 wildfire season in Ferry County, WSU's Office of Emergency Management at DGSS provided support in several needed areas including: advice on donation support, communication liaison support with state and federal agencies, advice and support regarding local schools and Red Cross sheltering, and provision of resource materials on Emergency Support Function and through the Extension Disaster Education Network." – Trevor Lane, Director, Ferry County Extension
- The 2015 wild fire season was a record for Washington and for WSU. At least five county directors and our Colville Tribal Office personnel were actively engaged.
- The fires provided critical learning opportunities at the county level and for Extension at the central level.
- A Wildfire Recovery website was created through the work of the teams. The website provided up-to-date information on the fires and provides a wealth of resources to WSU's Tribal Office and County Extension Offices.

Australian bio-pharmaceutical company Zelda Therapeutics (ASX:ZLD) has announced plans to expand its breast cancer research to study reoccurring tumours in collaboration with researchers at Complutense University Madrid.
Tumour reoccurrence is a common concern for women following treatment of breast cancer. According to the company, with the majority of current anti-cancer therapies primarily focused on trying to inhibit cancer cell growth, understanding how tumours self-renew and what controls the ability of cancer cells to spread throughout the body is a crucial aspect of cancer research.
By investigating the impacts that cannabinoids could have on stem-cell like cells, Zelda Therapeutics in collaboration with Complutense University Madrid says it is hoping to provide much needed data in this area of research, and most importantly, lead to new treatment regimens for highly resistant tumours.
It has previously reported positive results from an initial proof of concept study follow-on studies announced involving the treatment of breast cancer cell lines using Zelda's THC-rich oil formulations.
"The next stage of research will continue with in vitro (in a test tube) and in vivo (in a living organism) studies in order to investigate the effect of cannabinoids on cancer stem cell-like cells, and additional results are expected in coming months," it said.
Zelda Therapeutics executive chairman, Harry Karelis, said the company was delighted to be in a position to expand its research collaboration and extend the programme into late 2019.
"Complutense University has already generated exciting results using Zelda formulations on breast cancers. Expanding our research to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of cannabinoids on tumour re-occurrence is a critical area of research to be able to develop effective anti-cancer therapies in future.
"We are also very pleased to be able to undertake this important work with world-renowned researchers in the study of cannabinoids as anti-cancer agents," he said.
Leading Zelda's pre-clinical research focus are Professors Sánchez and Guzmán from Madrid's Complutense University and Zelda's medical advisory board.
"Our pre-clinical research to date has shown that Zelda's formulations have demonstrated anti-cancer effects. We look forward to continuing the next stage of this research, and are very excited to further extend this work to examine the impact of cannabinoids on cancer stem-like cells," said Professor Cristina Sánchez.
"These studies will provide us with greater understanding of how cannabinoids can work as a possible adjunct therapy in combination with standard treatments against resistant tumours."

James Elton-Pym, Brett Mason – The "emasculation" in Australian aid and the amount of money flowing to expensive consultants has forced Pacific nations to accept grants and loans from China, according to the former president of Timor Leste.
In an exclusive interview with SBS News, Nobel peace laureate Jose Ramos-Horta blasted wastage in the Australian aid system, while warning smaller countries in the Pacific region would develop closer ties with China if it helped them plug budgetary shortfalls.
"They are not interested in playing the big power regional power games, Australia vs China or vice versa," he said.
"They're interested in their own development. They're interested in the wellbeing of their people. And whoever can offer them better conditions, they will take it."
Mr Ramos-Horta said he was "surprised" by the level of concern about Chinese influence in his own nation.
"We are surprised that the Australians are talking about growing Chinese influence in Timor Leste, when in Timor Leste everyone is worried about the incredible Chinese expansion in Australia," he said.
He said Chinese investment in his country was limited to three buildings and about $50 million in loans. The Timorese government had purchased patrol boats from China too, but Mr Ramos-Horta said they did not work properly and were a bad investment.
Australian aid not reaching the ground
Australia will spend an estimated $91.8 million on development aid to Timor Leste this financial year, according to budget figures. But Mr Ramos-Horta slammed "endless studies" and "junkets" that hoovered up the money, alleging very little money was reaching projects on the ground.
"It is an absolute nonsense, misleading, for countries like Australia or the Europeans or Japan to say that the so-called development assistance that they provide to countries like Timor Leste is our exclusive responsibility to manage," he said.
"There is an Australian bureaucracy that is paid out of this money. There are studies after studies that are paid out of this money. Trips, evaluations. They pay out a lot to the consultants."
Unlike Timor Leste, which takes Australian aid for specific development projects, some island nations in the Pacific depended on Australia to make up the difference in annual budgets, Mr Ramos-Horta said.

John Coley, my favorite real estate blogger in Alabama, has been making strides since his blog launched earlier this year. His strategy has been simple: Write about local topics to attract local interest traffic; Uncover an audience searching for the content he delivers. John's blogsite content focuses on the interests of a somewhat small community around beautiful Lake Martin.
His commitment and consistency to that aim inspired me to invite him to take a stab at calling it like he sees it when it comes to real estate blogging technique.
By John Coley
Are you considering starting your own blog, but think that you have to be a huge national player to make an impact? Wrong.
One of the great things about web 2.0 is that anyone with good content can make a difference. Anyone that is willing to work hard and play fair can have their voice heard. You don't have to have a million dollar marketing budget and hire a team of copywriters. Web 2.0 levels the playing field for the new guy – and your blog can be your best friend for getting new business.
Not that I think Rod Stewart is cool, but…
Most large brokerages have a tremendous amount of bureaucracy to deal with. They have committees and councils, rubber stamps and red tape. The young real estate blogger has none of that – you just need the will to start. When talking to listing prospects, tell them about your new blog. If they don't know what a blog is, all the better. While you explain what a blog is, you are demonstrating your knowledge of the business to your prospect. After that, go for the close … "If you allow me to help you, I would love to write an article on your home." (Don't call it a post. If they don't know what a blog is, they don't know what a post is.)
No one in your area has a blog yet, and they might make fun of yours? Maybe even your own broker is discouraging it. Don't listen. Don't start by trying to conquer the Google search for "Springfield real estate." Start with "Evergreen Terrace real estate." Let the Long Tail work for you. Spread your posts around to places that will appreciate them, and watch your blog rise in the search rankings.
Are you trying to break into a neighborhood that another brokerage has locked up? Write a post (or three) about the neighborhood, on breaking news or a local hot-button issue, print it out, and physically mail copies to homeowners. Snail mail meets web 2.0. It stands a lot better chance of getting read than yet another postcard. Prominently display your blog's URL. Pretty soon you will establish a beachhead against Big Brokerage.
If you fill your blog with jargon and the company line, you might as well not even do it. When you spend all that time and effort to get people to visit your blog, and they actually do visit it, reward them. Give them real opinions, give them free information, give them some reason to come back. People appreciate honest, candid advice. My blog is very new, yet I have already picked up new leads from people who read it and called me to tell me thanks for the information. What a great ice breaker.
Thanks so much John, and welcome to the Vine.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Collin Sexton scored 17 points, Donta Hall notched his fourth double-double of the season, and Alabama rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat No. 23 Florida 68-50 Saturday.
Sexton added eight rebounds and six assists for the Tide (15-8, 6-4 Southeastern Conference), which improved to 2-4 on the road.
The Gators (15-8, 6-4) lost their third consecutive SEC game, the first time that's happened since the end of coach Mike White's first season in 2016.
Alabama dominated Florida in the paint, on the glass and up and down the floor. Sexton took over in the second half, dribbling through the defense and creating open layups and dunks.
Hall was one of the beneficiaries. He made all seven shots and finished with 14 points and 11 boards.
Braxton Key chipped in 13 points.
KeVaughn Allen led the Gators with 16 points. Keith Stone had 12, and Egor Koulechov added 11.
Alabama took over after halftime and outscored Florida 41-17 in the final 20 minutes. The Tide finished with a 43-25 rebounding advantage, outscored the Gators 46-26 in the paint and 29-1 off the bench.
Florida had no answer for Alabama's speed and athleticism at every position.
Alabama: The Tide gained some much-needed confidence on the road. Alabama had lost three of four away from home in league play, and since coach Avery Johnson's team plays three of its next four on the road — tough games at Mississippi State, Kentucky and Auburn — winning at Florida could prove to be a turning point for a late-season surge.
Florida: The Gators have little, if any, inside presence and might not have any this season. Injured center John Egbunu had a setback while recovering from knee surgery, and there's no timetable for his return.
Florida recognized longtime Billy Donovan assistant John Pelphrey during an early timeout. Fans gave the former Florida assistant a warm reception. Pelphrey spent a decade at Florida, working under Donovan for two stints (1996-2002, 2011-15). Pelphrey was making his first trip to Gainesville since joining coach Avery Johnson's staff at Alabama in 2016.
Alabama: Plays at Mississippi State on Tuesday.
Florida: Hosts LSU on Wednesday.

5 Ways the Russians Will Offend You
Russian Flag
I had the pleasure of living in the former Soviet Union for a couple of years after college. I have great memories of that time. The people are beautiful; their arts are stunning, and the scenery is amazing. I also have some not-so-fond memories from those years. Similar to the article, 5 Ways the Chinese Will Offend You, most of these "offenses" are easily explainable and can become endearing. However, I would challenge anyone to justify #4.
1. They Boss You Around
You will NEVER hear a Russian ask you what time it is. Their exact words are always the same: "Tell me the time." Other well-used phrases are:
- Tell me where Gogolya Street is.
- Move over (for example, if you are in the way of someone trying to exit a bus)
- Give me…salt, the gray sweater, 2 kilos of apples, etc.
Occasionally these commands are accompanied by a "please". They are rarely, if ever, followed with a "thank you". In fact, many Russian friends told me that they thought Westerners were weirdly polite. We say "thank you," "please," and "I'm sorry" way too often!
When you add the harsh tone of the Russian language to the imperative statements, many foreigners can be offended. Russian speakers are not trying to be rude, however. This is just their language and their culture. Each language group has its own flavor of weirdness.
Consider English; English is weird. Have you ever thought about why we say "head over heels?" Aren't our heads usually over our heels? We have plenty of odd things in English that make learning our language such an adventure for ESL students.
Another potentially offensive Russian language tradition: when they want to get someone's attention, they say, "girl" or "boy". So if you are in a shop and you wanted to look at the black shoes, you should say, "Girl, show me those black shoes!"
A note about "babushkas": Babushka is the Russian word for "grandma". These ladies are everywhere, usually wearing a brightly colored head scarf. Babushkas who don't know you at all will chew you out for sitting on a rock or they will tell you that you need wear a coat or they will yell at you to buy their sunflower seeds. I love them. All of them. Just thinking about them makes me smile. I have a much easier time loving these bossy babushkas than I have attempting to love the random person behind me in the checkout line who is telling me how to raise my child.
2. They Have Their Own Version of History
I met many Russians who were incredibly frustrated that the United States doesn't give Russia more credit for winning World War 2. Russians fought valiantly and died by the millions in WW2. They take credit for liberating the Baltic States from the Nazis. This is a highly flammable subject, so I won't write anymore. Obviously, their version of the Cold War varies significantly from ours, also.
But before we get too up in arms (another weird English phrase) about a different view of history, it might help to remember that even within the United States we cannot agree on the "truth".
This is where you should be thinking about the complete inability of Democrats and Republicans to agree on anything. Or you could consider that students in the Northern United States are studying the Civil War while many in the South are studying the same war, but it is called the War of Northern Aggression.
Russian Money
3. Corruption
I can't even tell you how many times we were pulled over by the police and accused of some obscure driving violation. It is possible that some of the "violations" were legitimate, however no local would have ever been pulled over for these reasons. The police officers basically wanted a bribe. We could either 1) pay them a "fine" for the violation, or 2) go to an office, stand in line, and end up paying much more for the traffic ticket. Bribes are illegal, but common.
Corruption is not a new phenomenon. Remember the tax collectors in Jesus' time? They were known to collect too much from the people and keep some for themselves, exploiting those under them.
Our corruption is more sophisticated. My Illinois state income taxes are at 5% this year. That is legal corruption in my opinion. I feel pretty strongly that the Use Tax is also legal corruption, but I'm open to a debate about this one.
4. Shameful Practices
You will read that Russians can hold their alcohol much better than the rest of the world. Maybe this is true. Maybe if they drank the amount it takes to get the rest of the world drunk, they would be fine. Maybe there are so many drunks because they drink significantly more than the rest of the world. To be fair, my Russian friends and acquaintances were embarrassed by the drunks on the street. The majority of people are not drunks, but there appears to be a much higher percentage of drunks than I have seen in other parts of the world.
There are kiosks all over the former Soviet Union. What's a kiosk? Think of a newspaper or magazine stand. You can buy all sorts of things at these kiosks – magazines, bread, gum, drinks, etc. You can also buy 12 oz cans of vodka. Twelve ounces in a can. Cans cannot be closed up when the drinker has had a little. They are meant to be finished off.
Pornography is also disgustingly prevalent at these kiosks. Some kiosks have all of their walls completely covered with pornographic photos. I feel so sorry for the women who have posed for this trash. I also feel sorry for the men who are imprisoned to their desires.
5. Offensive Men
This is a generalization. Undoubtedly, there are men with high enough standards. However, as a group, Russian men do not present themselves well. I received literally dozens of marriage proposals from taxi drivers. I was followed by drunks, and cat calls are common. Also, I have no idea how phone numbers are apprehended there, but there appears to be no shame in a man calling up a complete stranger and asking for completely inappropriate things.
I don't really hold this against them. Men in any given culture have their own set of irritating habits. And oddly enough, men say the same thing about women :)
Offensive Practices
Which Russian Custom Is Most Offensive to You?
Bonus Cultural Insights
Kissing: Maybe you have heard that in Russia men will kiss other men on the lips as part of their greeting. In my travels, I never saw this happen.
Smiling: Don't be offended that Russians do not smile back at you when you smile at them. People who smile at strangers are considered mentally ill. Maybe you should be glad they aren't smiling back :). Now if you take the quiz on: Customs around the World you will get at least one answer correct!
Directions: Here's some advice if you get lost. Ask a few people how to get wherever it is that you need to go. Go with the most common answer. Russians will never tell you they don't know where the place is. They will, however, give you directions to somewhere unknown, in a very confident and convincing manner.
Russians are not the only offensive ones on the planet. We also have a great capacity to offend (and I'm not just talking about rejecting their marriage proposals)! Some ways that Americans are offensive are mentioned in 5 Ways to Offend the Chinese.
Some of our cultural nuances are bad and in need of reform. Other differences should be applauded and cherished as unique.
Thank God I don't know any Russians. LOL
But seriously, I know something about Russian corruption. In the Past, when our country was a monarchy, Russian empire schemed with the monarchists to defeat the democrats.
Really very interesting. I obviously have never been to Russia, so my knowledge of their people is severely limited. These were fascinating insights and I thank you.
I don't know if it's funny or sad that you find aggressive-toned Russians safer or sad that you find the men here scarier... though I can see how that could be the case! I must check out your other like-hubs, I truly enjoyed this one.
Oh this was so funny! I speak in accents to my kids, in fact, I think I speak to people in public like that as well... it may be a condition, I'm not sure. Anyway, I like to do the English bloke, the Australian mate, the Southerner with a drawl and the Angry Russian, to name a few. I use them to get my point across and it's funny, when I am trying to show seriousness, anger and irritation with stupidity, I imitate the Russian. I usually spit while imitating a Russian, by accident of course but it happens when you're in the moment. Why do I do this? I have never been to Russia and I have probably only been in contact with a couple Russians, yet this is what I think of when I picture them. You mentioned their tone and it's actually funny; I can see a compliment coming off offensive "It is beautiful day!"
I don't know how you could have dealt with aggressive men, especially since you seem so warm and gentle. When I leave my rural area and drive 20 minutes up the road into suburbia, I lock my car doors when I pass a man on the sidewalk… one too many Lifetime movies? I would have an absolute anxiety attack over there!
I loved this; voted up and pushed several other buttons :-)
Interesting hub. I am originally from Belarus, a country similar to Russia, where Russian is a common language many speak aside from the native Belarussian. People in both countries tend to be friendly but sometimes they can be bossy and rude. I think they may even curse a person out without having a second thought about it. People there can certainly hold alcohol...they can drink a lot and not get the least bit drunk. They sure love their vodka. I don't remember them selling it at kiosks in cans but I left Belarus when I was nine so probably didn't know about this at the time...

"Pain Compliance"• https://www.ericpetersautos.com
Here's a new one – or at least, a newly admitted one: Pain Compliance.
This is the use of physical torture to subdue the victim of it to Authority.
It is not surprising – or ought not to be – to learn that street-level government thugs now practice what the highest-level government thugs openly decreed to be policy some 15 years ago under the reign of the frog-torturing psychopath George W. Bush, who "decided" that physically torturing people was no longer a thing to be ashamed of.
The fish does, indeed, rot from the head down.
In the video below – taken in Kansas City and the subject of a local CBS news affiliate story – a man happened to be in the vicinity of a pair of AGWs who were applying Pain Compliance to the person seen handcuffed and prone on the ground. The Pain Compliance technique applied in this case involves threatened dislocation of the subject's shoulders, a literally medieval practice that is not only excruciatingly painful but something which can easily cause lifelong pain.
An AGW Apologist explains that handcuffed and prone people can "still be a danger" to AGWs. In fact, the only "danger" is to the Authority of the AGWs, which remains affronted when any person isn't entirely supine and screaming in agony.

Kazakhstan passes amendments improving investment climate
Baku, Azerbaijan, June 10
By Elena Kosolapova- Trend:
Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev signed the law on amendments and supplements to some legislative acts on improvement of investment climate, Kazakh presidency reported on June 10.
The law is aimed at improving the investment climate, stimulating further activity of investors, providing a mechanism for the investment incentives provision through the conclusion of investment contracts, as well as ensuring the state support for investors, implementing investment projects in the priority activities.
The law envisages additional measures of state support for investors such as exemption from corporate income tax and land tax for 10 years, exemption from property tax for 8 years and compensation of up to 30 percent of investor's capital costs following the project commissioning.
All the tax rates (excluding VAT and excise taxes) will be "stable" for the investors during 10 years after the conclusion of contracts.
The investors will be allowed to employ foreign labor for the entire period of the investment project implementation and one year after its commission without any quota and permission.
The law also envisages provision of investment subsidies, simplification of procedures for foreign labor recruitment and "the legislation stability" within the contract signed with investors.
Kazakhstan also implements the principle of "one window" on the basis of the investment committee under the Ministry of Industry and New Technologies in order to minimize the investors' participation in collection and preparation of documents, and their contacts with the bodies providing state services.

In last weeks blog Han touched on why people need to be incentivized. This week I will focus on the two best ways to incentivize your customers: financially, socially, or a combination of both. In today's deal hunting, extreme couponing, getting more bang for your money retail environment, it is obvious that customers are looking for good deals and financial incentives to shop at your store. However, flash sales, group buying discount deals, coupon sites are not meant to generate loyalty from these new customers. Often times these customers are deal chasers, they are coming to your store because you had a deal and something they wanted but they feel no loyalty to you or your business. Financial incentives are analogous to the shotgun approach, whereas social incentives are more direct and concise like a sniper rifle.
While financial incentives are deals, coupons, percentage off cards, social incentives are things like location-based games (i.e. foursquare, gowalla, etc), a portion of the proceeds going to charity, loyalty programs, buy backs. Social incentives give your customers a more personalized incentive to shop at your store rather than just a great one-time deal. While flash sales and group buying deals are great if you are doing them properly and have the marketing capabilities to entice these customers to come back. More often then not businesses have said out of the hundreds of deals that they sell, they only have a few return customers.
As we have been encouraging since we began this series on the art of promotions, what draws people to your business is the unique experience, product, service that you have to offer and any incentive that you are offering your customer should revolve around that same principal. Giving the Foursquare mayor of your store a free appetizer every time he/she comes into your restaurant, donating a portion of the proceeds to Breast Cancer for every customer that buys a pink shirt in your clothing boutique, giving a customer a drink on the house after every third drink he buys, holding special preview parties for a new line of shoes that are coming out. All of these are simple social incentives that you can offer your customers to incentivize them to shop at your store and gain their loyalty, which is really what it is all about. After all a loyal customer is a much better investment than several single visit customers.
If you have any suggestions on great ways to incentivize your customers please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Square Stock Is Downgraded on Worry Over Slowing Growth
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Square stock may drop significantly for the rest of this year, according to Raymond James.
The firm's analyst John Davis lowered his rating for Square shares to Underperform from Market Perform, predicting its growth rate will slow for the rest of 2019.
"We believe organic growth peaked in 3Q18 and growth on the all-important subs and services line will likely materially decelerate in 2Q19," he wrote on Tuesday. "We believe the risk/reward is negatively skewed and recommend investors reduce positions."
Editor's Choice
Square (ticker: SQ) stock was down 6.6% on Tuesday. The financial technology company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.
Davis doesn't have an official price target for Square. But he said his "fair value" estimate is $56 for the stock, representing more than 20% downside from its current level.
The analyst also said the Wall Street consensus forecast for profit margins in 2020 is too high. He expects Square to earn 99 cents a share in 2020, versus the FactSet estimate of $1.08.
"If we are right on the absence of revenue upside, investors may lose patience on a margin trajectory," he wrote. "We believe the current valuation is likely pricing in material upside to current Street forecasts."
Square shares are significantly outperforming the market this year. Its stock had risen 36% year to date through Monday as investors have grown excited over its latest product launches. In comparison, the S&P 500 has risen about 5% in the same period.
Last week, Nomura Instinet raised its price target for Square stock due to the company's new business-card offering.

Have A Screen Printing Business? What You Need For Mobile Services
If you are trying to start a business selling clothing and you need an easy way to get your inventory to and from different events, and you want to offer screen press services on site, there are some things you want to have. You want to be able to set up shop at any location, and you want to be able to provide reliable services anywhere. Here are a few things you'll have to consider looking into so you are always ready to make money.
Durable Portable Tent
You want to be able to make shirts and sell inventory no matter what the weather is like, and you want to be comfortable doing it. You also want to protect your inventory. You can do this by getting a durable portable tent that will stand strong against high winds and rain, and that will also provide shade so you can work outdoors throughout the year. You can also get a portable heater and side flaps for the tent.
Storage Trailer
A storage trailer is a must if you want to easily load up all your machines, inventory, tables, chairs and other items. If you don't want to use your personal car, or worry about cramming everything into a vehicle and having enough space, then you'll have to get a storage trailer. These are easy to hook up and are spacious, and you can get shelving to organize everything. You'll also be able to protect your items from the weather and lock everything up so it's safe.
Commercial Grade Plastic Totes
You want to have industrial style totes that will protect against moisture and pests to carry inventory to different locations. These are ideal for days when the weather is wet, and when you want to keep everything organized and in order. Bins with handles are best for easy carrying.
If you offer a printing service and you want to be able to take your business on the road to different events so you can make the items right in front of people, and to improve your sales, these are some of the things you should consider getting. Contact local event coordinators and schools to let them know that you are offering these types of mobile options for people and that you can be used for fundraising and other things. Taking your business on the road also helps you market your business and services.

Fishing Plus: Hard-water ahead finally?
Recommended Video:
The early part of the week is likely a small sample of what is to come. When air temperatures drop into the single numbers and below, it only takes a few days to produce solid surfaces on lakes and ponds and a few more to thicken ice enough to be safe enough to walk on. The recommended measurement for safe ice is 4-inches.
Small shallow ponds are the first to freeze followed by the quiet coves away from the wind on larger lakes and then finally the big open water. We don't have much "big" water in the Nutmeg State. Lakes always freeze in northern parts of the state before southern waters harden, and most winters in my ancient history have seen at least some ice fishing.
That said, ice fishing is a fun winter sport. It requires special equipment that is simple, relatively inexpensive and will last for many years.
An ice auger tops the list. It can be manually operated to drill a neat hole of various sizes through thick or thin ice depending on blade size. Gas or battery powered augers make drilling much easier. A hand auger sells for under $50 while power augers can run to $300 to $400. Ideally, ice fishing being a fabulous group sport, several friends often chip in for a nice power auger that lasts a lifetime and is shared throughout the season.
Ice fishing utilizes two main methods, tip-ups and jigging. Connecticut law limits each angler to six "lines." That can be six tip-ups and sitting in a deck chair waiting for the flags to fly or five tip-ups and one hole fished with a hand-held jigging rod and reel. It's OK to drill a bunch of holes and move from hole to hole with the jigging rod, but no more than six total being fished at any one time.
A tip-up used to be a straight stick with a spring loaded flag at one end and a spool of line at the other suspended by two other cross sticks so the spool of line is below the surface and the flag above. When the spool turns as line goes out, it triggers the flag which waves over and above the device to signal a bite. Today the tip-up I described is still popular, but several new, modern and possibly more efficient designs are on the market to make ice fishing more fun at best and more interesting for sure. Tip-ups are priced individually starting at around $10 and some of those new fancy ones can be triple that amount and more. Connecticut law dictates that the name and address of the owner be plainly visible on each and every tip-up.
Most of the time, tip-ups are baited with worms, power baits, or live minnows. Mousee grubs and wax worms are popular for panfish. Jigging methods also utilize tiny worms and grubs both alive and imitation along with a large variety of flies, jigs, and other artificial lures.
You will need a skimmer to keep holes from re-freezing, a spud for trimming holes when a big fish needs to come up through and, of course, a sled to transport all these items to a favorite spot which will likely be a long way from where you park the car.
Ice fishing is a fun family sport, but it's also a fun game for fishing buddies who like getting together to tell fish stories and sample some of the best and most exotic food recipes known to man.
Add in a portable ice shelter to keep the wind out, a good cook stove and ice fishing can make for great weekend fun on many of Connecticut's lakes and ponds. The kids can bring their ice skates.
Warm clothing is the secret to enjoying the ice fishing experience. That includes insulated outerwear, boots, hand and body warmers, good gloves with a spare pair or two when they get wet.
Ice is slippery, so boots need have good soles for safe walking or a pair of grippers to keep from slipping on ice. Extra safety equipment should include ice pegs that can be anchored into ice if you fall through, a rope to toss someone in need of help and a space blanket to provide extra warmth when needed.
Where to go? Small neighborhood ponds can sparkle in the winter months. They freeze quickly and are likely loaded with small panfish and maybe a big bass or two. Many don't even make the list of more than 200 lakes and ponds in the Angler's Guide. Some water bodies are closed to fishing in winter. The Saugatuck Reservoir is one example. Lake Candlewood is the state's largest and most popular, while other popular lakes include Lillinonah, Highland Lake, Mount Tom Pond snd others. Several lakes host ice fishing derbies and tournaments usually sponsored by nearby hunting and fishing clubs.
Rivers and ponds formed as parts of a river system call for extra caution as moving water simply does not freeze as quickly. In my younger days, Lee's Pond below Westport's Camp Mahackeno was a favorite ice fishing spot. Spring fed lakes and ponds also produce inconsistent ice when it comes to thickness. The most important words when it comes to ice fishing especially in the early and late seasons are CAUTION and SAFETY.
Tuesday's freeze put skim ice on some small ponds, ice along the edges of small lakes but lots of open water remains. It's time to get ready but not yet time to fish.

Wearable sensing and feedback devices are becoming increasingly ubiquitous for measuring human movement in research laboratories, medical clinics, and in consumer goods. Advances in computation and miniaturization have enabled sensing for gait assessment; these technologies are then used in interventions to provide feedback that facilitates changes in gait or enhances sensory capabilities. This talk will focus on vibration as the primary method of providing feedback. I will discuss the use of vibrotactile arrays to communicate plantar foot pressure in users of lower-limb prosthetics, as a synthetic form of sensory feedback. Wearable vibrating units can also be used as a cue to retrain gait, and I will describe my preliminary work in gait retraining as a conservative treatment for knee osteoarthritis. This talk will cover the development and evaluation of these haptic devices and establish their impact within the greater context of clinical biomechanics.
