For over 100 years, St. Philip Neri School has been serving students in the Northwest/South region of the Bronx. Opened on September 8, 1913 by the Ursuline Sisters, under the leadership of Mother Jerome Oliver, O.S.U. and Msgr. Daniel F.X. Burke, St. Philip Neri School has preserved the Ursuline emphasis on service to the Chruch and the world. In fact, our School motto, Serviam, means "to serve".
Our school crest in designed in the Ursualine tradition and includes the cross of Christ surmounted by the stars of the constellation Ursa Minor (from which the name "Ursula" is derived). As the North Star, found in Ursula Minor, points the way for seafarers, so to does Christ point the way for us.

Iceland is one of the most beautiful and strange looking places on Earth. Its scenery and natural phenomena like volcanoes and aurora borealis confer upon it an otherworldly aura
and it's no wonder most Icelanders still believe in elves and in little magical people. But the fairy-tale magic of Iceland was abruptly suspended in recent years when Icelanders felt the asfixiating effects of the banking crisis.
In other countries, high-end banker criminals walk the street with impunity and are in every way treated as royalty, as Matt Taibbi in his admirably honest Rolling Stones article Too Crooked to Fail attests. But not in Iceland: the small country has jailed some of the main bankers responsible for their current state of international debt.

"A talisman is an object, often a crystal or gemstone, that has a specific ability to aid a person in focusing and amplifying his or her power. A talisman is not a lucky rock. The power of a talisman is its ability to aid you in achieving the future you desire. A talisman is both a focus and a natural amplifier. – www.crystalvaults.com/talismans

"Piezoelectricity, also called the piezoelectric effect, is the ability of certain materials to generate an AC (alternating current) voltage when subjected to mechanical stress or vibration, or to vibrate when subjected to an AC voltage, or both. The most common piezoelectric material is quartz. Certain ceramics, Rochelle salts, and various other solids also exhibit this effect.
A piezoelectric transducer comprises a "crystal" sandwiched between two metal plates. When a sound wave strikes one or both of the plates, the plates vibrate. The crystal picks up this vibration, which it translates into a weak AC voltage. Therefore, an AC voltage arises between the two metal plates, with a waveform similar to that of the sound waves. Conversely, if an AC signal is applied to the plates, it causes the crystal to vibrate in sync with the signal voltage. As a result, the metal plates vibrate also, producing an acoustic disturbance." –whatis.techtarget.com/definition/piezoelectricity
Radionics is a method of healing and diagnosing at a distance using the unique extra-sensory faculties of the operator supported and amplified by a physical instrument, device, geometric pattern, energy or substance.
Radionics seems to operate on principles based on Quantum Physics, not primarily upon the physical body directly, but upon the subtle energy auric fields which are undetected by the normal senses and but which support life and are essential for its functioning. Radionics can be both a diagnostic and therapeutic procedure which can be used to discover the higher dimensional energetic disturbances underlying pathology and to encourage the reappearance of normal energetic fields which support health. It does not replace nor interfere with other forms of medical care, but supplements them.
Radionics is based on the understanding that every person's energy patterns, frequencies, signatures, vibrations or rhythms are as unique to them as their fingerprints, and that every part of their body, down to the cell level, reflects these 'vibrations'. When illness, injury, infection, stress, pollution, malnutrition, or poor hygiene cause these patterns to become imbalanced or interrupted, then the energy is altered. This altered energy pattern can be read from any part of the body and treated by sending messages, with an instrument, to the body in order that the body may heal itself through the restored flow of energy. – www.raydionics.com

Happy Happy Joy Joy
It started off OK on Wednesday night, it was quite amusing walking home from the bus as it had been raining all day and the chalky mud managed to achieve a level of slipperiness akin to that of ice. Once back home I had dual pleasures to look forward to; cooking and the new sleeping bag. All in all Wednesday evening, save for the incessant rain, was turning out to be all things good, I had just put new batteries in my radio and despite a snapped Ariel and having been left out in the rain most nights it managed to receive a signal.
Boil a jetboil mug of water.
Whilst boiling slice, onion, garlic and a pepper (Capsicum).
Use the cup from the bottom of the Jetboil to make tea.
Keep the rest of the water in the Jetboil mug to keep warm.
Using tent pegs as a tripod to hold a Billy can fry off the onion, garlic and peppers.
Add Risotto rice (I used some sun dried tomato flavoured rice that only takes 12 mins to cook.
Stir around to make sure the rice is coated in oil.
Add the hot water, bring to the boil and then simmer for however long the risotto rice you are cooking tells you to cook it for – mine was 12 mins. Stir regularly when simmering or the pan will burn and that would be a nightmare to clean and chances are you would get cross and begin to wish that you were not living in the woods but where sat on a sofa watching a movie or something.
Tips when simmering put a lid on your pan to keep the heat in as this means less gas is needed. Don't put the lid on whilst frying as this would result in you stewing the vegetables rather than frying them.
According to his web site the sleeping bag that I bought was designed by Ray Mears, if this is the case than I have to say that the chap has obviously done his fair share of sleeping outside. It is brilliantly designed and I am prepared to say that in terms of bits of kit it is up there with the Jetboil. I got in and did up both the draw cords to stop cold air from getting in and then found that the thing is so thick that within a few minutes that I was so hot, due to the thing being so thick, that the cords had to be undone to let some cold air in.
That night I had the most amazingly comfortable nights sleep imaginable, it was like being wrapped up in an enormous fluffy duvet and I contentedly drifted off whilst the rain poured down and all around me everything became more and more soaked. I was content, warm, dry and comfortable. More comfortable than I had been for a very long time and so I really did not care that all around me was mud and everything that I owned was wet and filthy, I was content.
I was a little less than content when I was woken by the feeling that there were fishhooks in my brain pulling in all directions. In fact I was so far from content that I was sick, twice. I couldn't think straight and all around me was pain, I took the day off work favouring lying curled up moaning to myself than pretending I have a clue what I'm supposed to be doing. By mid afternoon I started to feel better and took stock of my situation, it was getting dark and I was lying in a pool of mud. The rain had been coming down steadily all night and from every direction so despite the best effort of the gore tex sheet the ground I was lying on was soaking. I had been thrashing about in pain and this had churned the ground into mud. I felt miserable and this feeling was compounded by the useless bivi bag I use, as I have mentioned previously the bivi bag has two settings when it rains – suffocate or drown. I chose drown and so my new sleeping bag was quite wet around the hood and shoulders. Fortunately though it is made of synthetic materials and so it stayed warm. Nevertheless the mere fact that it was wet was enough to add to the feeling of despondency as it grew darker. Stupid idea living in the woods. To snap out of it I forced myself to get up and try to sort out the gore tex sheet in such a way as to cover me from rain from all directions. All I achieved was to give myself a smaller space in which to sleep but doing something, albeit fruitless, did cheer me up and so I decided to cook something.
Note to self.
If eat the emergency supply of food over the weekend do be sure to replace it in case an emergency occurs.
I sat huddled in my newly restricted living space drinking tea and reading a book whilst all around me the rain came down, water pooled around the foot of the bed and the wind blew the soaking gore tex sheet onto me with monotonous regularity. By six o'clock I was feeling fit enough and hungry enough to go to the pub and so walked down there through a gale of sideways rain.
Guinness is good for you they say, I had three just to make sure and also had Garlic Bread, a huge plate of Sausage and Mash and Treacle Sponge Pudding with custard. I left the Oasis of warmth, laugher, beamed ceilings and running water and weaved my way soggily back home through the rain, it rained all night. Quite often water would drop right onto one or other eye and wake me up so it came as a huge relief when 6am finally came round and I could get out of my nice warm (yet wet) sleeping bag and get into my soaking wet trousers (letting out a yelp as I did so) and make my way to work.

DM, why don't you rig up a hootchi? It's not a tent so you are OK there, but it should keep even tropical storms out.
BTW, pubs are an amazing invention on dank winter nights, don't you think? :-)

The Gore Tex Sheet / Poncho is pretty much a hoochie by another name. Or so I believe.
Might have another go at sleeping in the hammock over the weekend.

DM what a terrible night you had! Every time I read about one of your disastrous nights where you ended up soaking wet and muddy I find that post-hoc solutions to your problems come to mind unbidden. However, I shall restrain myself. Suggestions from the sidelines are superfluous - you have an enormous amount of courage and resilience to endure all of this, and we should all just applaud you and keep our suggestions to ourselves. However, when your year is up I'm sure I'm not alone in expecting that you'll be able to run courses on sleeping out in the woods for urban commuters.

Are you sick?
Are you stressed?
Are you down?
Are you looking for a job?
Are you unhappy?
Is life a struggle?
Did a loved one just learn they have cancer?
Is your child on drugs?
Is your spouse abusive?
Are you struggling with drugs or alcohol?
If you said yes to any of these questions I will NOT be sending positive thoughts your way. I will NOT be sending good vibes your way. Nor will I be focusing on a good outcome for you.
Now that might sound harsh but you first must know what I will do if you said yes to any if these questions.
I will PRAY to my Heavenly Father and Lord and Savior. I will go to the foot of His Throne on your behalf and talk to The Father about you or your loved one.
I do not believe I have the power to send anyone enough "good vibes" to make them well. Nor do I think I have the ability to make things better for you by thinking "positive thoughts".
Yet, according to many people on Facebook they apparently think they do have such power or abilities.
Now I do not mean to sound harsh or hurtful, I just don't get it.
The only thing I know that works is prayer. Now God's answer may not be what I wanted but I am confident the answer is what God has planned.
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. (Hebrews 11:1 NIV)
It is by faith in Christ I live, not by sight.
There is nothing wrong with a positive attitude. I believe such an attitude is important for our physical and mental health. But I do not believe our positive thoughts sent across space will influence anyone's illness, job, or family crisis. But my God will make a difference.
Please know I understand people are trying to be nice and encouraging by these "positive thinking" statements. I also believe they say these things because they do not have a relationship with Christ.
When I see such comments I always pray for that person…that one day they know Christ as I do.
The LORD is near to all who call on Him, to all who call on Him in truth. (Psalm 145:18 NIV)

If you had the power to fire someone random with the click of a mouse, even if they'd done nothing wrong, would you do it? Chances are, you may already hold that power without knowing it.
We've all had those surveys. "Your opinion is important", "We value your feedback", and the like. Equally, we've all ignored many of them, due to the sheer deluge of the things that seems to have invaded our every transaction over the last few years. But what actually happens to all our responses when we do fill them in?
As a sales guy for a major national electronics chain, I'm rated on many things. Sales, for one. But also customer service. After all, no company wants surly so-and-so's representing its brand, and I totally get that. Luckily, I'm not a surly so-and-so. I'm quite possibly the most pleasant, upbeat guy that'll serve you in any of our stores -- testimonial letters from customers and a shelf-full of awards for my service testify to that. But every so often, I'm still hauled in for a meeting with my superiors to discuss "concerns" about my customer service skills. And the conversation always begins the same -- "one of your customers filled in the survey, and gave you an 8 out of 10...".
You might be thinking 8 out of 10 isn't a bad score. Hell, an 80 per cent score at university gets you a degree with a distinction and honours. You might have even filled in one such survey received by email or text message, and given a similar score off the back of superb service. Would you have commended their service? Maybe. Was the service you received so bad that you'd complain? Definitely not. But by giving a non-top mark, you just have complained. And the poor person that served you is feeling it.
You see, in the eyes of the company, an 8 doesn't mean they did everything right, it means that they did something wrong to lose the 2 points short of it being a 10. Which, in turn, means a documented warning for giving poor service. Too many of those, and the door beckons. Some of the surveys ask for your feedback in your own words too. Don't be deceived. Even writing a comment like "Best service I ever had! I will recommend to all my friends!" means jack if you don't mark the numbers at the top level. The computer that analyses the scores doesn't read words -- it only averages numbers.
The suckiest part of the whole ordeal is people who mark 5s and 6s, because something has gone wrong that's out of the control of the staffer. I fell foul of a response recently (and the resulting chat with a manager) by scoring 6, with the accompanying comment "salesman was really helpful, he was 10 out of 10, but the manufacturer's helpline was engaged when I called so I am not happy". I try explaining to the managers that I was scored a 10, but to no avail. "No, you scored a 6."
The following things are NOT cause to mark less than top score -- if any of these occur, you should rate the staffer first, then make a separate complaint about what's gone wrong:
- The staff member followed policy but you didn't like the outcome.
- The store didn't have the exact product you wanted, so you had to buy something else.
- You had to queue and you were in a rush.
- You didn't like the taste of your burger, because you ordered the avocado burger but you don't like avocado.
- You forgot to bring your ID to sign up for financing, and had to go home and get it.
There are two big problems with these surveys. One is that the questions are often ambiguous. "What did you think of our store?" doesn't want to know if you liked the decor. It's scoring the staff member. Same goes for "Are you happy with your purchase?", or "Did you have a good experience?", or seemingly non-relevant questions to that effect.
The second problem with these surveys is that very rarely does anything go back to the customer that filled it in. Never a phone call back saying that, due to the low rating you gave, Tony from the Croydon store has been fired, or Anna in the TV department has been demoted to polishing the battery display. So, nobody ever sees the severity of the repercussions of a "bad" (read: "non-perfect") score.
So, my plea to you is this. Next time you get a survey of this type, remember that you're rating someone who's earning close to minimum wage, to be there and be chirpy from dawn until dusk, and deal with the crap of hundreds of customers a day. You're not rating a professional like a doctor or a surgeon. You're rating a poor schmoe who's trying their best to make ends meet, by selling you a computer, or making your sub sandwich, or answering when you ring a call centre.
Try not to forget that, next time you find yourself with their career life, quite literally, in your hands.
*Ok, so a kitten doesn't die, but there are certainly repercussions.
Glenn is a tireless worker for a purveyor of gadgetry that has a branch not far from you. He's about 30, hates frustrating corporate nonsense, but likes avocado. Basically, he's the retail version of Dilbert.

Nepali Indians-Gorkhas-Want Their Own State Under the Union of India
By Swaroop Chetry
A routine day in Darjeeling begins with cabbies waiting for tourist to clamber on to their seats and rush to Tiger Hill to see the majestic Kanchanjunga change colour as the Sun rises from the far horizon, but nothing of this is quite happening now, the tourist numbers are thin and the people who are otherwise dependent on tourism are suddenly at loss, when I ask one of the taxi driver, he lamented things will all change for good once the State of Gorkhaland is created. This is the mood in the Darjeeling, people here seem to understand that this may be long drawn struggle and are ready to sacrifice and sustain. As the day progressed, the market starts to buzz with people buying essential commodities as nothing remains certain as when the next shutdown is imposed, evenings in Chuarasta is seemingly dull, interestingly there seems little of Government machinery functional, offices are either shut or the employ do not return to work voluntarily, only the traffic points are manned by unarmed police personnel obscure by the fact that many vehicle plying on the street bear Gorkhaland- registration.

Hi everybody,
Jill here, and this week I am going otterly adorable with a peek-a-boo window card...
I am otterly obsessed with these amazing creatures, they are soooo cute, sweet, and adorable and best of all...they hold hands with each other when swimming so they don't float away!!! I mean...gaaaaah *heart bursts into a million pieces*
So every time I see this sweet set, it just makes me smile and makes me want to ink it right up.
I've spoke before about how obsessed I am with my My Favourite Things Stitched Triple Peek-a-boo die and because there's a ton of different images in the Otterly Adorable set, all doing different things & swimming different ways, I thought it would work perfect to have a little group of them swimming along and 'peeking' through the windows.
It was a very simple card to make. I started by colouring a piece of card in sea greens and blues to use as my background and, using the cloud border from Mama Elephant's Landscape Trio dies upside down, cut some waves from it. I then stamped out all the images I wanted to use and clear heat embossed them so I had a raised edge ready to colour with my Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Pens. I used them with water to create a watercolour finish. My sentiment is from the same Otterly Adorable set and is stamped out and heat embossed within the banner from Lawn Fawn's Penelope's Blooms. To add a little 'something something' to my sentiment banner I inked it up from the back in matching colours to background and waves.
I built up my little scene how I wanted it to look from behind the Peek-a-boo windows using wet glue and foam tape and embellished with a scattering of pretty clear sequins.
I adhered my vellum banner in place by placing a teeny bit of wet glue behind the most bold outlines and letters so that it is barely visible.
I really hope you like it and that these adorable otters make you as happy as they make me!
As always, everything I used is linked below so be sure to stop by.
See you next week.

The safest large cities in the world? A safe large city? Could such a thing even exist? Yes. Yes, it can and does! Some neighborhoods are known for pretty negative things. One of the most recorded stats for small and large cities is the crime rate. It's how many murders and violent things happen from day to day. Now, those stats are important to know, but they're not exactly something you want to hear about on a daily basis, right?
No, we want to hear something happy! You might think that heavily populated areas are just filled with crime, but that isn't always the case. Some metropolises boast the fact that they have a pretty low crime rate compared to the rest of the world. Believe it or not, North America actually has some of the safest cities around!
We don't want to toot our own horn, but we know what we're talking about when it comes to safety The Economist made a list that's going to help us break down exactly where you can go for a fun vacation or just a great place to move.
North America has the most with seven, but we can't celebrate just yet! Asia follows closely behind with six, and Europe is on Asia's coattail with five of the safest cities in the world. We also want to note that Australia is the sole representative from Oceania. Additionally, no South American cities made it into the top 20, which is a shame considering how beautiful the continent can be!

Courses and practical exercises
A university is commonly defined as a high-level educational institution but a more appropriate definition would be to say: a university is an academic institution for learning, both for students and professors.
Students are welcomed to participate in several experimental and theoretical activities both on a Ba and MSc level.
An undergraduate course option on "Engineering Materials" to the freshman has been developed. This entails the development of conceptual framework through a set of five questions:
This approach, where different materials types are covered in an integrated manner, will be taught in 2011.

This dissertation explores the pragmatic implications of judicial rhetoric found in a 1988 Supreme Court decision, i.e., this is a dissertation about public administration using constitutional law to illuminate an administrative question. My viewpoint is a legal/constitutional one which uses the law as pedagogue to inform public administration and to offer a useful message for the public administration practitioner. That message deals with a legal/constitutional distinction between publicness and privateness and the implications of that distinction. Quincy West was sentenced to prison in 1973 for armed robbery. While in prison he suffered a torn Achilles tendon for which he received inadequate medical care. After numerous attempts to obtain medical care, West filed suit against the prison physician contractor in federal courts for cruel and unusual punishment. This dissertation uses the story of West's legal efforts and the Supreme Court's decision in his case to discuss the broad implications of that decision for the public administration practitioner and government contractors. The lens is a constitutional one. The framework is John Rohr's schema for understanding a Supreme Court case: viewing that case from the institutional, concrete, dialectical, and pertinent perspectives. The specifics of West's allegations against his physician invite discussions of bioethical topics such as informed consent and medical legal topics such as malpractice and patient abandonment. The Court's determination of state action in West v. Atkins (1988) requires discussion of the administrative areas of contracts and grants administration as well as risk management. The complex responsibilities of the public administration practitioner are examined, as is his or her need to follow and independently learn from the messages included in the courts' interpretation of the law. This historic story illustrates that there is no bright line between law and policy. The Court's dialogue with itself is not merely interpretation and development of the law - it is policy reformulation. For this reason, among others, the conscientious administrator must monitor the Court's ongoing dialogue and listen attentively to its messages of import for our field and our practice.

David Bowen created a robotic art installation that laser scans an onion plant every 24 hours and uses a 3D printer to fabricate plastic models illustrating the plant's growth. After each sculpture is completed, it moves ahead on the conveyor belt to make way for the next one. The piece, titled growth modeling device, won a grand prize in the 13th Japan Media Arts Festival. From the artist's statement:
growth modeling device is an installation based on the rate of growth and structure of an onion plant. The system plays the roles of observer and creator, providing a limited an mechanical perspective of a changing living object. It attempts to replicate nature through the eyes of a simple laser device into a base industrial material, turning what was once organically dynamic into a flat sterile reproduction.

STAUNTON — Del. Dickie Bell said Wednesday that he will offer a budget amendment during the upcoming General Assembly session to provide $250,000 in state funds to help with design work on the proposed Virginia Museum of Natural History site in Waynesboro.
The Staunton Republican confirmed the amount at a legislative breakfast sponsored by the Greater Augusta Regional Chamber of Commerce. Waynesboro City Manager Mike Hamp said the state funds, if approved, could be used for engineering and design work on the museum.
News of the amount of the proposed amendment comes just one week after Waynesboro City Council reaffirmed its support for the museum. City Council passed a resolution Dec. 12 offering about $1 milliion in potential aid.

Former India batsman VVS Laxman has criticised MS Dhoni's use of offspinner Harbhajan Singh in the Chennai Test. Making a comeback to the side and playing his 100th Test, Harbhajan bowled 25 overs - 11 fewer than Ravindra Jadeja - and took one wicket. Jadeja went for 71 in 36 overs, 16 runs fewer than Harbhajan conceded, and took two wickets.
There was a time on the second morning when Harbhajan had not bowled for about 200 minutes; his last over had been about 20 minutes before tea on day one. When he did get to bowl, 51 overs after he had last operated, Harbhajan picked up his first wicket - that of Peter Siddle - but was removed an over after that. Even in his previous Test, in Mumbai against England, Harbhajan bowled about half the number of overs that R Ashwin and Pragyan Ojha did. Laxman said he was surprised Harbhajan was not utilised properly.
"I am really surprised with the tactics of MS Dhoni," Laxman said on air in Star Cricket's commentary on the Test. "You want your spinners to take the major bowling chunk. It is surprising that Harbhajan hasn't come into action since yesterday tea time. You want to have more and more variety. You should know which bowler the batsman will not be comfortable facing. That's going to be the spinners of the Indian team."
Laxman said these tactics could crush Harbhajan's confidence. "Harbhajan, who is low on confidence, [now] he knows that the captain doesn't trust his ability," he said. "Secondly, he is not getting enough overs to get back in rhythm. There is a lot of Test-match cricket left in this match, and I am sure that he will play a big part as the match progresses. So it is very important to give confidence to Harbhajan. Not giving him bowling, obviously you are sending wrong signals to him."
Laxman brought up the Mumbai Test too. "This is what happened in Mumbai Test match when Ojha and Ashwin bowled almost double the number of overs what Harbhajan bowled. Especially for someone coming back into the Test team after a long time, he will be low on confidence, he will be a little insecure, and that's when as a captain you are supposed to encourage your bowler."
Laxman said that Harbhajan was not new to performing well for India, and just needed an arm around the shoulder. "You are talking about a guy who is playing his 100th Test match, so obviously he has won a lot of Test matches for the country. He has been a matchwinner for the country, he has done really well for the country, and everyone knows what he can do as a bowler. So it is very important for captain to give him the confidence, and once that is back I am sure he can deliver the goods for the captain."

When an Austrian songwriter requested a tiny retreat in the wilderness, architecture firm raumhochrosen responded with a prefab timber cabin that merged seamlessly into the woods of Wienerwald, Austria. Named after the client, Tom's Hut is a simple house built on the bones of a previous building that had fallen into disrepair. Though the minimalist building appears rustic on the outside, the rough facade is sharply contrasted with a clean and contemporary interior.
Constructed atop a brick foundation, Tom's Hut is made from a prefabricated and angular wooden structure. A sloped metal roof and chimney top the cabin and the timber planks that clad the sides are left unpainted to maintain a strong connection with nature. The surrounding site is left largely undisturbed, save for a simple stone fire pit, retaining wall, picnic space, and hammock.
Related: This adorable tiny cabin by Peter Jungmann is called the Ufogel
The contemporary and wood-clad interior is split into two levels: a large central space and a small loft area accessible via a black steel ladder. Black metal trim outlines the doorway, loft, and stove area to give more structure to the minimalist space. Large windows frame views of the landscape and bring abundant natural light indoors.
"The hut as a striking identity becomes a partner, a place of retreat, but also for hospitality and personal development," write the architects. "Arrive, find shelter, rest, nourish yourself and find balance within. Then the view outside into the wild. Vision."

Maurice "Mauri" Rose[1] (May 26, 1906 Columbus, Ohio – January 1, 1981 Royal Oak, Michigan) was an American racecar driver.
He started from the pole position driving a Maserati in the 1941 Indianapolis 500, but spark plug problems put him out of the race after sixty laps. He then took over the Wetteroth/Offenhauser car being driven by Floyd Davis that had started in 17th place. Rose went on to win. In 1947 and 1948, Rose captured back-to-back Indy 500's driving one of the Deidt/Offenhauser Blue Crown Spark Plug Specials, owned and prepared by veteran driver/car owner Lou Moore.
Late in the 1947 race, Rose found himself lying second to his rookie teammate, Bill Holland. But Holland, still unfamiliar with how to read the scoring pylon near the front straightaway, thought he had more than a lap lead on Rose, instead of just a few seconds. Rose closed on Holland and to his amazement, Holland gave way without a battle and even gave Rose a friendly wave as he went past on his way to victory. Holland was furious afterward.
In 1949, with Holland leading and Rose again running second late in the race, Rose set out to overtake his now-veteran teammate. Rose ignored car owner Lou Moore's "EZ" signs from the pits and continued to push in pursuit of Holland. Finally Rose's car broke, Holland cruised home to victory—and Moore fired Rose on the spot after the race for disobeying team orders.
Mauri Rose made his fifteenth and final Indianapolis 500 start in the 1951 race. Knocked out from an accident after 126 laps, the forty-five-year-old Rose retired to a home in California. For the 1967 race, officials of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway invited him to drive the Chevrolet Camaro Pace Car.
While his career in racing was filled with success, Rose considered his most important accomplishment to be his invention of a device that made it possible for amputees to drive an automobile.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican congressman Mike Pence says he won't vote for the massive tax cut package coming before the House on Thursday, because he believes it "will do little to create jobs."
Pence, the No. 3 House Republican, tells NBC's "Today" it is a "tough call" because no Republican wants to see taxes go up.
But he says the package's two-year extension of Bush-era tax cuts, negotiated between President Barack Obama and Senate Republicans, "is not going to create investment."
Pence says Congress needs to "take a breath" and vote on making the tax cuts permanent.
Most of the objections to the bill have come from liberals protesting its extension of tax cuts for the wealthy. But some conservatives have recently raised objections to its temporary nature.

So I was poking around VulnHub for a new VM to work on and I came across Vulnix… Here is how I got root!
Found ssh credentials.
Tried to login as User with the password "letmein"
We get access to user.
We also can see that this system is using rservices more specifically rlogin (We had a pretty good idea that this was the case with our original port scan showing port 513 being opened.)
Added wildcard + + to allow anybody to login with no password as user.
Rlogin appears to be working as expected!
Looks like along with "user" there is a user called "Vulnix"
Enumerator also found an NFS share with rw access to /home/vulnix
Created a .rhosts file with + + and uploaded it to the NFS share… (make sure to chmod 0600 .rhosts)
Now we have access as Vulnix!
Getting Root:
Sudo -l shows us that vulnix can sudoedit /etc/exports
Lets add a line to allow us to mount /root with no_root_squash permissions.
***Must reboot machine to get NFS service to restart***
(This is because User and Vulnix cannot reboot the system. I will say I struggled with this part not knowing if I should be rebooting the box as part of my attack, but after finishing it I verified from the creators writeup that they also had to reboot.)
Created new DIR called .ssh in /root
Created, and uploaded public, and private keys for ssh.
Also created and uploaded an authorized_keys file with my public key in it.
(You may notice I messed up here, and created the ssh keys on the Vulnix VM instead of on my box. So I used scp to copy them from /home/vulnix/.ssh/ to /tmp on my box. I was running nfspysh from /tmp on my box so I could now upload them to /root/.ssh/ on Vulnix.)
Used ssh to connect as root which used my public key for access!

What Does the Hobby Lobby Decision Mean?
According to the Supreme Court, an employee's contraception is her boss's business after all.
In a disappointing 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court sided with two for-profit companies that had challenged the Affordable Care Act's contraceptive coverage requirement, which says that certain preventive health care services like contraception must be covered without copay or cost-sharing. Both Hobby Lobby, a family-owned chain of arts and crafts stores, and Conestoga Wood, a family-owned cabinetry business, claimed that providing certain services in their insurance plans violates their religious freedoms and that they shouldn't have to provide this kind of health coverage for their employees. In return, health advocates argued that corporations don't have religious freedom — and that bosses have no business controlling their employees' access to any contraception.
The court sided with the businesses, saying that "closely held" corporations cannot be required to provide contraceptive coverage of any kind for their employees. Not only did the Supreme Court get it wrong again, but they also singled out a huge portion of the population — women — for discrimination.
Tell Congress to Reverse the Decision
Although the majority in the Hobby Lobby case claims that its decision is narrow, the truth is we won't know the full reach of the decision for some time. Hobby Lobby challenged four forms of contraception, but Justice Samuel Alito did not limit the court's ruling to those forms of contraception only. Thus, companies can refuse to cover ALL forms of birth control if they choose to do so — we'll see how it plays out. Already 82 companies have stepped forward to say they will embrace the decision, but they have not confirmed how far they will take it.
In addition, the reasoning behind the court's decision creates a slippery slope by which corporations can challenge other medical procedures or medicines in the future. As the New York Times noted, the Hobby Lobby ruling may extend beyond health care, "open[ing] the door to many challenges from corporations over laws that they claim violate their religious liberty." Imagine if an owner of a closely held corporation is against equal pay for women because he believes that disrupts men's superiority in their homes?
What we do know is this: In today's status quo, where health care coverage is overwhelmingly tied to employment status, allowing an employer to refuse to cover certain forms of contraception will reduce women's access to these health services. With nine out of 10 corporations classified as closely held, this decision has the potential to affect millions of women employees.
Women already have less disposable income to spend on health care services because of the gender pay gap, and college-educated women are especially burdened by high levels of student loan debt. Moreover, the impact of the Hobby Lobby decision is expected to fall more heavily on low-income women — whose access to health care is typically limited to begin with — and black women, who make up almost 16 percent of minimum-wage women workers. As Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg observed in her dissent, "The cost of an IUD is nearly equivalent to a month's full-time pay for workers earning the minimum wage" (two of the forms of contraception Hobby Lobby objected to are intrauterine devices). There are many reasons why some women cannot use hormonal forms of birth control, and their doctors may recommend IUDs as the safest option. For many workers, not covering the cost of that contraception can amount to not allowing employees to use this basic health care service as they and their doctors see fit.
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the Supreme Court's ruling, we can all agree that this decision and other Supreme Court decisions issued throughout our nation's history can have a great effect on our lives. Nominating and confirming Supreme Court justices is just one important example of the responsibilities that our elected officials have, and we urge everyone to cast an informed vote. Make sure you're registered to vote at www.aauwaction.org and that you get to the polls in November.

[…] Update 6/30/2014: AAUW is very disappointed that the Supreme Court ruled in Hobby Lobby's favor today. Employees' use of contraception is none of their boss' business. Although it's good news that the decision only applies to contraceptive coverage – meaning it does not give employers the right to deny other medical services based on religious beliefs – we're angered that women's access to reproductive health care has once again been singled out and limited. Moving forward, AAUW will continue to fight to protect basic preventive health care access for all women, no matter where they work. Read more » […]

So now I'm doing a resort.
The last version of my Successor cavalry have already made an appearance on this blog. However, the heavies are kontos armed, usually Successor heavies are javelin/shield. They can be seen next to a unit of Lamming cataphracts.
So, time to rebuild the javelin/shield force. The first picture shows the 'original' unit - should be 15 strong, some AWOL - followed by a unit I've just painted. I've enough figures to do another unit but still scraping together the 'right' horses.
The 'new' unit have been given red uniforms and plain red shields so they can double as Romans.
These are early PB figures - shorter, thicker spear/javelin, cast on horse furniture (means I should have used 'S' Range horses instead of PB).
The longer, thinner spears on my earlier unit shows that they were a slightly later production figure. Not sure what to do with these - try and find the rest I suppose!
So at least one other unit still to come, plus some light cavalry - again, the light cavalry are in a bit of a mess. I'm painting some up now so they should be ready in a few days.

The Travel Channel is coming to Durango on Sunday, and it's looking for extras to take part in a reenactment of one of infamous outlaw Butch Cassidy's more famous train robberies.
According to Stephani Burditt, office manager for Region 9 Economic Development of Southwest Colorado, the Travel Channel is shooting around the Southwest this week, also making stops in Cortez, Telluride and Moab.
On Sunday, the Travel Channel needs extras for a one-day reenactment of the 1899 Wilcox Train Robbery, which took place near Wilcox, Wyoming, about a 100 miles northwest of Cheyenne.
According to historical reports, a Union Pacific train was flagged down in the early morning hours as it was about to cross a wooden bridge. There, a group of masked bandits associated with Butch Cassidy's gang awaited.
It's estimated the robbers took off with $50,000 worth of cash, unsigned bank notes and gold. Though Butch Cassidy is considered the mastermind behind the robbery, it's unlikely he was there the day the train was robbed, as he was released from jail a few years earlier on the condition he would no longer take part in crimes in Wyoming.
Burditt said the reenactment is for the Travel Channel's Expedition Unknown. According to the Travel Channel's website, the show chronicles explorer Josh Gates's adventures "as he sets out on a global journey to find the truth behind captivating and iconic unsolved legends."
The reenactment will be shot at the Durango Train Depot, among other spots in the area.
According to the casting call, the TV show is looking for:
One male, tough but gentlemanly; charming outlaw type. Ideally can pass for early 20s to mid 30s, dark complexion, horse, gun and reenactment experience a plus;Five male cowboy/sheriff/conductor types, andTwo to four female actresses.Actors with their own period-appropriate costumes are highly appreciated but not required.
The day rate is to be determined
Send headshots, resumes and photo of period costume to firstname.lastname@example.com

NAGA BUAH: An Ecofeminist Music Project by Kodi Twiner
Ecofeminism is an academic and activist ideology, sprung from the intersection of feminist, peace and ecology movements of the late 70s and early 80s (Mies & Shiva 2014).
'Radical scholarship' was and is fundamental to the ecofeminist movement.
Drawing on the insights of ecology, feminism, and socialism, ecofeminism's basic premise is that the ideology which authorises oppressions such as those based on race, class, gender, sexuality and physical abilities, and species, is the same ideology that sanction the oppression of nature. Ecofeminism calls for an end to all oppressions, arguing that no attempt to liberate women (or any other oppressed group) will be successful without an equal attempt to liberate nature (Gaard 1993).
Taking influence from previous political and feminist musicians,
brings ecofeminism into dialogue with artistic practice, in efforts to catalyse the positive forces of a creative Anthropocene through liberation of women and nature.
A core value of ecofeminism lies in it's plurality and intersectionality, which can be likened to a 'patchwork quilt' constructed of 'patches' from different social, historical and materialist contexts (Cuomo 2002).

Adapted from: Real Simple

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 lean beef brisket roast (about 3 pounds)
1 large onion, cut into 1-inch wedges, leaving root and end intact
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large sprigs fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dried thyme
6 tablespoons tomato paste
3 medium carrots (about 8 ounces), scrubbed and cut into 2-inch pieces
1 fennel bulb (about 8 ounces), trimmed and cut into ½-inch wedges
2 medium yukon gold potatoes (about 8 ounces), cut into 2-inch pieces
Kosher salt and black pepper
Chopped parsley, for serving
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. In a large heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Season both sides of brisket with 1 teaspoon each salt and pepper. When the oil shimmers, add the brisket fat side down and cook until dark golden, 3 to 4 minutes.Turn the brisket and cook the other side until browned, 3 minutes more.
Remove the meat from pot and add onions, garlic, and thyme. Cook until the onions begin to soften and the ingredients become fragrant about 4 minutes. Stir in tomato paste and 4 cups water and bring to a simmer.
Return the brisket to the pot, fat side up; cover and transfer to the oven. Cook until almost tender, about 2 hours and 45 minutes.
Add the vegetables, submerging them slightly in the cooking liquid. Continue cooking until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 45 minutes more. Transfer the meat to a cutting board, and remove the vegetables with a slotted spoon.
Skim as much of the fat from the cooking liquid as possible; season with additional salt and pepper. Slice the brisket against the grain. Serve, topped with parsley, with vegetables and cooking liquid on the side.

Selena Gomez is Cosmopolitan's cover girl for the magazine's March 2012 issue. Inside, the lovely 19-year-old brunette talks about her difficult childhood, her big dreams and strong work ethic, her friend Demi Lovato, career, but also about love and relationships, and boyfriend Justin Bieber.
Selena Gomez lands
on Cosmopolitan's March 2012 cover. In the interview with the
magazine, the 19-year-old actress and singer chats about her
childhood and growing up poor, her big dreams and strong work
ethic, her friend Demi Lovato, career, love and relationships, and
boyfriend Justin Bieber. Described as being one hundred percent
down-to-earth and a hard working girl, Selena admits that, "I love
to focus and work really hard. I've always wanted to do everything
right. And I constantly want to be better."
She was born in Grand Prairie, Texas, to a 16-year-old mother and 17-year-old father. "I'd have a 3-year-old child by now if I'd had a baby at the same age as my mom did – that's terrifying to me," Selena says. Her mom wanted Selena to be cultured even though money was tight. "I don't think I would have gotten out of the mind-set of Grand Prairie if it hadn't been for my mom," Gomez confesses.
Selena recalls meeting her childhood friend Demi Lovato on set of 'Barney & Friends'. Their families moved to Los Angeles and shared a house. "We didn't have that much money coming out here, so we were living together to share expenses. There were seven of us girls living in one loft, including sisters and moms and everything. It was really interesting."
Still, their busy schedules kind of kept them apart. "There was a point when she and I were going our different ways, because we were figuring out who we were. Now, we're better than ever," Gomez told Cosmopolitan.
Even though she became a major star, Selena managed to keep her
feet on the ground. "It's a very vain industry, and I want to make
sure I don't get caught up in that. So far, knock on wood, I've
done a good job," she says.
Top Hollywood producer Denise Di Novi, who worked with Selena on 'Ramona and Beezus', also confirms the fact that the gorgeous young star is an extremely realistic person.
"You just instantly root for her and love her. And she works incredibly hard – she reminds me of a racehorse in that way. She knows what she wants to do, and she's happiest when she is completely immersed in her work. And she has a sophistication and emotional intelligence that is way, way beyond her years," she explains.
Leighton Meester, Selena's co-star in 'Monte Carlo', says that, "I'm 24 and hanging out with a 17-year-old, and it didn't feel like that at all. She is really wise beyond her years. But she has this innocence to her, too, that I hope will never go away, because she sees the beauty in every little thing."
Now, Selena wants to be taken seriously and grow up professionally. She will appear alongside James Franco and Vanessa Hudgens in 'Spring Breakers'. "I am choosing roles and movies and music that might be a little different and might kind of freak people out. But it's just me evolving and growing and taking baby steps," she told Cosmopolitan.
Speaking about her special sensuality, the actress says that, "I'm gradually working my way toward it - not necessarily toward being a sex symbol or anything, but becoming more confident in being a woman."
In the interview with Cosmopolitan, Selena, who is currently
dating Justin Bieber, also dishes on her previous relationships. "I
was in a relationship previously where I had to hide everything and
it wasn't my choice. I had to go through different exits and take
separate cars and do the craziest things, and it just really wasn't
worth it. It was like a year of my life completely wasted," she
Justin and Selena started dating in late 2010 yet she officially confirmed the relationship in March 2011. "Most of our dates have been online," Gomez says.
On their time spent together Selena admits that, "I'm just like every 19-year-old girl. If you're in love, you're in love to the fullest, and you just want to go to the movies, hang out, and be as normal as possible. I'm fortunate that I've found someone who has that philosophy."
Speaking about love Selena told the magazine that, "It is the most powerful thing. When it comes to my family, friends, a relationship ... it centers me. You only live once, and I want to be proud of everything that I do and just have fun. I want to be able to say that I had a really fulfilled, fun life."

About the American Law Institute (ALI) and the Continuing Legal Education (CLE) Program
The American Law Institute (ALI), founded in 1923, is the leading independent organization in the United States producing scholarly work to clarify, modernize, and otherwise improve the law. The Institute (made up of 4,000 lawyers, judges, and law professors of the highest qualifications) drafts, discusses, revises, and publishes Restatements of the Law, model statutes, and principles of law that are enormously influential in the courts and legislatures, as well as in legal scholarship and education. ALI has long been influential internationally and, in recent years, more of its work has become international in scope.
By participating in the Institute's work, its distinguished members have the opportunity to influence the development of the law in both existing and emerging areas, to work with other eminent lawyers, judges, and academics, to give back to a profession to which they are deeply dedicated, and to contribute to the public good.

On linux, arduino-1.8.8-teensyduino-1.45, my teensy was working until today when I kept getting
Opening Teensy Loader...
Unable find Teensy Loader. (p) Is the Teensy Loader application running?
I restarted arduino-teensy, still no dice.
Then I tried to start /var/local/arduino-teensy/hardware/tools/teensy and it exited right away.
Strace finally gave me the clue:
stat("/tmp/instance-Teensy-merlin", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0600, st_size=5, ...}) = 0
getuid() = 500
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/tmp/instance-Teensy-merlin", O_RDONLY) = 5
read(5, "4512\0", 256) = 5
kill(4512, SIG_0) = 0
close(5) = 0
getpid() = 19478
exit_group(4294967295) = ?
saruman:/var/local/arduino-teensy/hardware/tools$ cat /tmp/instance-Teensy-merlin
I didn't have anything with that PID, but eventually I just ran
saruman:/var/local/arduino-teensy/hardware/tools$ rm /tmp/instance-Teensy-merlin
and now things work again.
Stale lock file code seems buggy, but even then, checking that the PID exists doesn't mean anything, another process could just use it if you're not lucky
Is it possible to try talking to the arduino gateway code and just remove the lockfile if it's stale?

Effective Fort Worth Child Custody Lawyers
The Texas courts encourage both parents to have an active roll in their children's lives during and after a divorce. In most cases, the parents will be awarded joint managing conservatorship where one parent provides the primary residence and the other has liberal visitation rights. At The Law Office of Gary L. Nickelson, in Fort Worth, Texas, our attorneys work closely with parents to develop parenting plans that are in the best interests of their children.
Child Custody
While the courts favor joint managing conservatorships, there are a number of child custody arrangements that can be ordered given the right circumstances. Joint custody, where physical custody is equally divided between the parents, and sole custody are forms of custody that are not favored by the courts, but may be granted in specific situations.
We encourage our clients to put aside their differences and work out parenting plans that are in the best interest of their children. Collaborative law and mediation provide parents a venue to work through their differences, rather than having child custody decisions imposed by the courts. Regardless of how a child custody arrangement is decided, one parent will typically get primary physical custody of the child and the other will have liberal visitation.
Texas has a standard and expanded standard possession order that is favored by the courts. However, almost any sort of visitation arrangement can be worked out between divorcing parents. Often the parent that is not the primary custodian of the child will have custody on the first, third and fifth weekends and one evening a week during the school year. However, every visitation schedule can be different. We work with parents to develop visitation schedules that are in the best interest of the children. Our attorneys also have significant experience helping parents get visitation agreements enforced.
Contact Our Fort Worth Child Custody Attorneys
If you have any questions about child custody or visitation, please contact the lawyers at The Law Office of Gary L. Nickelson. Our attorneys can be reached by phone at 817-735-4000, by e-mail, or by filling out the in-take form on our Contact Us page.

Six Pillars will broadcast twice at the Deutsche-Bank Kunsthalle in Berlin during their Villla Romana – Süden (South) exhibition, August 27–Sept 8, 2013. The exhibition spans art, film, music & performance and includes an online station run by Radio Papesse, Italy. We chose to broadcast our episode POSTCARDS FROM IRAN co-produced by Moslem Rasouli from Iran, plus THE FIRST BROADCAST of this academic year on our host station Resonance104.4FM after a break in summer. This inaugural Six Pillars to Persia episode features a new monthly slot called I Ran Into Iran by artist Katayoun Vaziri and producer Brian Zegeer.
SüdenRadio broadcasts daily from Villa Romana from 12.30 radiopapesse.org/sudenradio with one hour of live programming on Sundays, 1 – 8. Sept, 20.00–21.00 on reboot.fm. Tune in across Berlin on UKW 88,4 MHz; or in Potsdam on UKW 90,7 MHz Radio Papesse is an Italian station curating sounds online for the exhibition in Berlin.
The artistic debate around this theme is highly fragmented but Süden takes the discourse further by widening it up to a differ layer: the sonic dimension of South. Is there a southern sonic cliché?
Süden art exhibition is curated by Angelika Stepken, director of Villa Romana, and will be held at the Deutsche Bank KunstHalle in Berlin from August 26th to September 8th 2013

NATURALOILS Introduces Product to United States
BOCA RATON, FL–(Marketwired – January 04, 2016) – NATURALOILS (CHILE) S.A., a company based in Chile that produces, distributes and focuses on the health benefits of oils and fats, announced it is expanding its brand VALLES DE CHILE into the American marketplace.
As the first and only company to produce grape seed oil in Chile, NATURALOILS is introducing the flavor and health benefits of the 100 percent natural product across the globe from the Chilean Valleys, where ideal weather conditions allow the plants to flourish year round.
"The high smoke point (450º F) makes this product a very good alternative when a consumer is looking for frying and cooking oil. You cannot do this with olive oil," said company Business Manager Luis Ruiz. "Another aspect is the high content of Vitamin E, the natural antioxidants and lack of preservatives."
Studies suggest that grape seed oil and its extract constitute anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, anti-histamine, anti-aging, anti-allergic, antimicrobial, and adaptogenic activity. Therefore, it has been beneficial in the treatment of a number of health issues which including arthritis, edema, dermatitis, acne, wrinkles, dry and itchy skin, age spots, sun burns, chapped lips, wounds, bruising, stretch marks, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, chronic venous insufficiency, premature aging, premenstrual syndrome (PMS), weight loss, stress, dandruff, hair loss, warts, cardiovascular diseases especially atherosclerosis, hypertension, high cholesterol levels, diabetes, visual impairment, cataract, and macular degeneration. Studies also suggest that its free radical scavenging activity may strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk of developing cancer.
In addition to the health benefits it has a balanced flavor that enhances the taste of vegitables, fruits and meats, is certified tracable, non-GMO and Kosher.
"Grape seed oil is great for dressings and dipping, but it is absolutely unbeatable for sautéing or frying because it can be heated to a higher temperature than other oils without burning. The higher the heat, the faster the cooking time so meats stay juicier and vegetables retain more nutritional value," Ruiz said.

Do I have to use new MagicBands?
by Fun-seekers
"This one comes from fun-seekers in Indiana. Since the new style of MagicBands rolled out at Disney World at the beginning of this year, has there been any indication that park visitors will be required to use these new bands on their next visit or have to pay a fee to get the new bands issued for their future trips?
Thanks, Dad."
Fun-seekers, this is a really good question. I just had to set up the MagicBands for the trip. We still got a few days, a few weeks before we had to finish but I just set mine up for our trip here in October and I still had the choice to go and choose one of the old MagicBands.
It doesn't cost anything, if you're staying in Disney hotels, to get the new MagicBands. I'm going to have a nice new … I think it was purple MagicBand and here in a few weeks and I'll be showing it to you when I get it. I'd be so excited. I'll have a purple MagicBand for this trip.
It doesn't matter which MagicBand you use. New, old, Disney doesn't care. It's going to be a moot point here in a year or so. The batteries on these old MagicBands only going to last two to three years so at some point, the batteries will die and you won't be able to use them because the batteries are dead and the batteries can't be replaced.
Disney not worried about making you use the new ones. If you want to use the old ones, use the old ones. If you want to get a new one, get a new one.
If you're staying in a Disney resort, they're still shipping new MagicBands. They're still giving them out for free. They don't cost anything. There was rumors for a while that they were going to start charging for new MagicBands but that never came to pass.
Dad's Disney Hotels page
Dad's Bottom LineThe bottom line is you can use new MagicBands or old MagicBands for every trip. There's a place in your My Disney Experience account where you can pick the MagicBand that you want to use, new or old.

Aquarius Forecast for 2019: Money
While Mars, warrior planet of the cosmos will leave your income sector on New Year's Day and will only impact the very early hours of the year, starting the year with this advantage is a bell that can't be unrung. Especially as Mars returned in mid November and has spent the final six weeks of 2018 firing up your financial passions and fighting spirit, while urging you to fight for what you deserve. With Venus, the planet of money starting the year in your career sector, this will benefit her mission to steer this professional year in a lucrative direction from the get go. While things will quieten down on the income front after that, with that kind of start the parameters for what you will and won't accept are set from the get go.
Yet while Mars leaves on New Year's Day the money gods will keep the focus on income matters, for here you have the advantage of having Neptune in your income sector from 2012 to 2026. In essence, unlike money matters, which are only active for a few months each year, the money gods have a permanent money god on station on the income front. However, things will dial back, only to pick up when Mercury returns to your income sector on 11th February, for what should be a two week visit aimed at giving you the smart head for money needed to keep your head in the game. Instead, Mercury is here until 17th April and during that time the Sun will leave and Venus will return on 27th March to take over, not wrapping up this active phase until 21st April.
Chiron will leave your income sector on 18th February, not to return for another five decades. This ends a need to rehash the past, leaving dreamy Neptune as the sole manager of your income situation and matters for the next seven years. On his own, after Venus leaves on 21st April, Neptune will make sure income matters never completely go off the boil. However, the majority of the momentum is created in the first four months of the year. Money matters, as is always the case won't get their turn until the second half of the year. It begins with Mars' return on 18th August and ends with his departure on 4th October. During that time the Sun, Venus and Mercury will all move through your financial sector, creating a short, intense and empowered period where much of this year's main focus on money matters will happen.
