I live approximately 18 miles from the world's most violent city. With a homicide rate at 140/100,000 people it passed Caracas, Venezuela for that title in 2018. As of April 1st this year there were 540 tallied by Tijuana Police.
Cartel violence has destroyed the less violent version of Baja, Mexico.
But you wouldn't know that looking over the border towards the transmission towers and multitude of high-rise residential developments residents can now afford. The structures on each side of the border only differ in what language is on top, with no high rise development on the San Ysidro (US) side.
[Compare to a google search of "Tijuana at border".]
The economy has grown in proportion to the cartel violence. The payoffs, slush funds, and the many taquerias, bodegas, and farmacias what launder the money may be party responsible.
Standing seemingly apart from all this is a standard of living that is doable with a water treatment system.
The US federal minimum wage is 7.25/hour. Where it stands in places like Mississippi, Louisiana, and Kentucky.
The Mexican minimum wage is 102.68/hour or in USD (at time of valuation) 5.10/hour. However, cities such as Cuidad Juarez, Nogales, Mexicali, Tecate, and Tijuana it is double the mexican national minimum at time of wage increase.
What this translates to is a sort of paradox.
In San Diego County the minimum wage is between 10.50 and 12.00/hour. The average rent in the city proper is $1955/month for a one bedroom.
In Tijuana the minimum wage is 176.72/hour or 8.80/hour USD. The average NEW 1 bedroom apartment is $500/Month, and that is considered "high".
Too put it bluntly people in Tijuana make more and spend less than a resident of New Orleans, LA, where average rent is 1,120/month.
Poetically, the states that voted for Trump have a lower minimum wage and higher rent than Northern Mexico at the same time they are for a border wall, while also evoking state rights sans the federal minimum wage.
There is obviously money flowing into the Mexican Federal Government to increase wages to these levels, but it leaves you wondering what the drug economy adds. This is speculative.
The ultimate thing to take away from this is:
WHY THE FUCK IS THERE A NEED FOR A BORDER WALL WHEN TIJUANA (if you can overlook a 1 in 714 chance of being murdered, massive government corruption, and a need for personal water treatment) HAS A BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING THAN THE US?
Of course a natural response to this is: "It's Central/South America that ruin it for Northern Mexico". And this is true, but far overblown as a useful argument for an unnecessary few billion being spent. Which isn't all that much, about the same as Trump's net worth.
The wall is the rock meant to keep tigers away, a specious project to combat a false dilemma. The cartels are also building and controlling several tunnels as we speak. The trope of a 21 foot ladder applied underground between the TJ bar and the US outlet store.
It is my duty as a citizen to point out that the border wall is an unnecessary Hoover Dam and play at true-red republican support. The types of folk with "Hillary for Jail" and Jesus stickers.

Made out of 1.25" plexi, is about 8x13" and includes a matching plexi base.
Had a devil of a time [oops, no pun intended, really] making the base, I snapped 2 endmills trying and it usually is not that much of a problem, both endmills were new and I almost went into shoprage when the 2nd one snapped.
I figured maybe because the plexi was freezing cold it was extra hard and brittle, so I took a chunk in to warm up for a few hours, also reduced feed speeds from 200 ipm to 100 [You usually want a high feed rate when routing plexi to avoid heat buildup]. Worked like a charm, I made this base and another that I needed for a 3D gun, came out perfect not a single chip.
Fit was so tight I had to hammer it in, just the way I like it. This one I still have to buff out a few scratches, some are hard to see until it is lit up.

At GroupWrites we believe in simplicity. All you need is a general plot idea and a title. You are now ready to publish your first story. Once published, you are free to write and release each chapter at your own leisure. You are the writer, the editor, and the publisher.
At GroupWrites, creative writing meets social media.
Think about following a television series. Typically, you do not purchase the entire show at once and bring it home. Rather, one episode is released each week. Our vision is to introduce this concept to the written form of storytelling.
Don't limit yourself to novels. Page by page, share your creative narrative journey as you write:
At GroupWrites, our goal is to socialize the creative writing process. We all know that the essence of each journey lies in the company that you keep and not in the destination. We believe that this methodology applies to creative endeavors just as much as physical ones. And so, we encourage you to participate, comment, and share these projects. Help us spread the word and build a community of self-made writers and readers alike, where together we can create quality content with no agenda.
Tip: Interact and socialize with your readers!For example, give them updates on how frequently you will be publishing new chapters, or ask them what they love about certain characters in your story.

Private In-Home and Online PSAT Tutoring in San Bernardino, CA
Receive personally tailored PSAT lessons from exceptional tutors in a one-on-one setting. We help you connect with in-home and online tutoring that offers flexible scheduling and your choice of locations.
100% Tutor Satisfaction Guarantee
At Varsity Tutors, we're committed to connecting you to top tutors capable of delivering an outstanding experience. That's why we provide a 100% tutor satisfaction guarantee.
How can a tutor help you master the PSAT?
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) can be a challenge for your student, but they have a chance to practice with the Preliminary SAT, or PSAT. This exam is also known as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (NMSQT). Varsity Tutors can connect your student with a talented PSAT tutor in San Bernardino, CA, who could help them set and exceed goals in a timely manner. The PSAT has undergone several changes, and your child's tutor could help them prepare for the material and format of the test. The PSAT's changes reflect the ways in which the SAT was updated. The PSAT is also offered in several forms. For example, 10th and 11th graders take a version that's most similar to the original exam. The exam for 8th and 9th graders is a baseline for progress. Regardless of the version, your student has two hours and 45 minutes to complete the challenging exam.
We can find your child a PSAT tutor in San Bernardino who could help them become an independent learner. It is important your student knows the content and the test format. A tutor can potentially build on their weaknesses, whether the most prevailing areas of confusion are with reading words in context, writing, or solving algebra problems. The changes in the types of questions, format, and scoring scale can mean the difference between success and failure if your child does not know what to expect. The tutor can ease their anxiety and use proven tools and materials to prepare your child.

29th April 2019
Children from the Early Years Acadamy enjoyed an afternoon of planting with our team on Thursday 18th April.
The Early Years Academy is right next door to our student accommodation scheme which is currently under construction in Coventry. To get the children involved, our site donated some materials, hard hats, a wheelbarrow and some planting materials for a corner to be transformed into a planting corner for the children.
We thought as a little surprise we would bring our CPUK JCB Digger to inspire their minds and hopefully encourage the future generation into this wonderful industry of ours. The children spent the afternoon dressed up in hard hats and hi-vis jackets and helped the site team plant up the hard hats, wheelbarrow and plant plots with some colourful plants and flowers.
A big thank you to our neighbours, the Early Years Acadamy, for letting us spend the afternoon inspiring the little ones.
Safe to say the children did a fantastic job!
Claire Baughan, Nursery Manager said " I would just like to say a big thank you to you all for the time you gave our children. The children had a lovely time planting the flowers and are enjoying using the watering can to water them. They also had a wonderful time on the digger.
All our parents have commented on how lovely the Nursery is looking!
We sent over a little thank you card to site. It is nice to have a great relationship with our neighbours!"
Working with and for CPUK will be a pleasure!

ISPs Removing Their Customers' Email Encryption: Presto Vivace points out this troubling new report from the Electronic Frontier Foundation: Recently, Verizon was caught tampering with its customer's web requests to inject a tracking super-cookie. Another network-tampering threat to user safety has come to light from other providers: email encryption downgrade attacks. In recent months, researchers have reported ISPs in the U.S. and Thailand intercepting their customers' data to strip a security flag — called STARTTLS — from email traffic. The STARTTLS flag is an essential security and privacy protection used by an email server to request encryption when talking to another server or client. By stripping out this flag, these ISPs prevent the email servers from successfully encrypting their conversation, and by default the servers will proceed to send email unencrypted. Some firewalls, including Cisco's PIX/ASA firewall do this in order to monitor for spam originating from within their network and prevent it from being sent. Unfortunately, this causes collateral damage: the sending server will proceed to transmit plaintext email over the public Internet, where it is subject to eavesdropping and interception.

Alexis Weissenberg, a charismatic Bulgarian-born pianist known for his thundering aggressiveness and rational detachment at the keyboard, and for his unapologetic defense of those traits in interviews, died on Sunday in Lugano, Switzerland. He was 82.
The Bulgarian Ministry of Culture confirmed the death to The Associated Press, which reported that Mr. Weissenberg had been ill with Parkinson's disease. Information on survivors was not available.
In a career that began in the late 1940s, Mr. Weissenberg appeared as a soloist with the world's leading orchestras, played recitals on celebrated stages and made many recordings. A naturalized French citizen, he was a Romantic specialist, most closely associated with Schumann, Chopin and perhaps especially Rachmaninoff, whose percussive pyrotechnics suited him.
Mr. Weissenberg's cool yet blazing approach divided reviewers. Where some heard impeccable technique, others heard soulless efficiency. Where some embraced the drama of his interpretations, others condemned them for aggressiveness.
On these points, however, nearly everyone agreed:
Mr. Weissenberg possessed a technical prowess rivaled by few other pianists. The ice of his demeanor at the keyboard (he sat, leaned forward and got down to business, playing with scarcely a smile or grimace) was matched by the fire that came off the keys. He could play very fast, and very loud. (Over time, verbs used to characterize his pianism included "barrel," "tear," "thunder" and "let loose.")
Reviewing a 1982 Carnegie Hall recital by Mr. Weissenberg in The New York Times, Bernard Holland called his rendition of Bach's "Chromatic Fantasy" "chillingly scientific." He added:
"It was anatomy instruction conducted by a master — a brilliant dissection of cold, gray, gleaming flesh, from which every trace of living blood had been conscientiously squeezed away."
To his critics, Mr. Weissenberg had no shortage of articulate rejoinders. In a 1983 interview with The Globe and Mail of Canada, he had this to say about his unemotional stage demeanor:
"You cannot lose your control physically and be precise as to what your hands do. Can you imagine a surgeon operating on somebody, and swooning and looking up at the ceiling and being very excited about it? The patient would die. That is what happens in music too. The patient dies, because there's too much going on besides the actual performance."
In any case, as reviews over many years made clear, Mr. Weissenberg did sometimes give performances, or make recordings, that were simply, electrically, unequivocally breathtaking.
Alexis Sigismond Weissenberg was born in Sofia, Bulgaria, on July 26, 1929. (He was billed as Sigi Weissenberg early in his career.) An only child, he was reared by his mother, a pianist from whom he took his first lessons.
In 1941, after Bulgaria allied itself with the Axis Powers, Sigi and his mother, who were Jewish, attempted to cross into Turkey using false papers. As Mr. Weissenberg recounted in an autobiographical essay on his Web site, alexisweissenberg.com, they were detained for several months at a concentration camp on the border.
With the aid of a sympathetic German officer, who loved the Schubert that Sigi played on an accordion he had managed to bring with him, they were able to escape. Mother and son made their way to Istanbul and eventually to Palestine. There, Sigi, already a fine pianist, performed with the Palestine Symphony and other orchestras.
After the war, the young Mr. Weissenberg moved alone to New York, where he studied at the Juilliard School with the pianist Olga Samaroff and the composer Vincent Persichetti. In 1947, at 18, he won the Leventritt Award, a prestigious international music prize.
He made his New York debut the next year at Carnegie Hall, playing Chopin's E minor concerto with the New York Philharmonic under George Szell.
In the mid-1950s, Mr. Weissenberg moved to France. By then, critical opinion had begun to dog him, and engagements on major stages were drying up. He took a long sabbatical from public performance, spending a decade teaching and studying.
"As a young artist I learned new works very fast and played them much too soon," he told Newsweek in 1977. "In 10 years I would have reached a point where my whole repertory would have been overplayed and understudied. I did not want to end up at the age of 50 still a 'promising' pianist."
He re-emerged in the mid-1960s, and by the 1970s was again performing widely.
Mr. Weissenberg's recordings include the complete Beethoven concertos with Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic. He also wrote music for the piano; an album of Mr. Weissenberg's compositions was recorded by the pianist Simon Mulligan for the Nimbus label in 2001.
That Mr. Weissenberg's artistry was not to every taste was a subject about which he could eventually wax coolly philosophical.
"I still don't know why my playing is considered so disturbing," he told The Times in 1983. "I remember in school, as a child, I learned that the flame of a candle is composed of a yellow light, which actually burns, and a blue light within it, which is ice cold. That is true of human beings as well. Perhaps it is the sight of that blue light in me that frightens certain people."

15 Financial Mistakes The Class Of 2015 Would Be Wise To Avoid
Congratulations to all you recent college graduates!
Now is definitely the time to take a deep breath and celebrate your accomplishments, but it's also the time to start planning how you'll begin your life and career.
The next several months can set you on a fast track to success, or start a slow slide away from your goals if you make poor choices.
Money can't buy you love or happiness, but it can buy pretty much everything else.
Making sure you have enough of it to support your needs and goals starts with avoiding common pitfalls that hit those who are just getting started.
Here are 15 money mistakes recent graduates commonly make that you can avoid:
Job Mistakes
1. Waiting around for that "dream job"
Estimates suggest that 50 percent of jobs will be freelance within the next 10 years.
So, don't think that you have to get a traditional desk job to start your career or that you'll get the amazing job you've always dreamed of right away.
If you aren't getting the interest you expected from employers, check out sites like Upwork (formerly Elance/ODesk) and Freelancer.com to see if there are gigs you can pick up in your desired field to build credibility and a portfolio.
Making money also will give you more flexibility to wait for the right offer.
2. Choosing your first job based solely on the financial offer
In the first five years of your career, you should prioritize experience.
You will find that the most established businesses (and there is nothing wrong with this) will offer more narrow, specific roles than companies that are just getting started.
I'd argue that your development will be slower at large corporations than if you chose to work at a smaller, more nimble and growth-oriented business, where the pace of your development will be greater.
The rewards of taking more responsibility and developing faster earlier in your career can be profound.
3. Not networking
Almost all jobs come from some connection you have.
To put yourself in the best possible position for snagging a job, find ways to explore your existing network and expand it.
You need to be actively meeting people and learning about what they do.
Don't go into these conversations expecting anything but to learn, and you'll be pleasantly surprised about the opportunities that might come your way.
Most professionals are both happy to talk to you about what they do, and are impressed by the initiative you show by being proactive.
Budget Mistakes
4. Not having one
Budgeting based on your income and goals seems too simple to need to be on this list, but it's not, given how few new graduates actually work off a budget and make financial choices accordingly.
You can use free tools like You Need a Budget, Mint.com or MoneyStream to make this simple.
5. Not sticking to said budget
It's one thing to make a budget; it's another to stick to it. You have to have the discipline to keep making good budgetary choices.
Some tips to do that include providing yourself positive reinforcement, like one fun night out a month or buying something you've been coveting for a while if you meet your savings goal.
6. Not building an emergency fund
It's always important to save for a rainy day, but building this fund when there are so many fun options available (beach trip, anyone?!?) takes diligence.
Having to put unforeseen important expenses, like a last-minute trip home for a sudden illness of someone you love, on a credit card can lead to major financial distress later.
Student Loan Mistakes
7. Not anticipating student loan payments
If you are leaving school as a graduate of the class of 2015, there is a seven out of 10 chance you have student loans.
They have just become a fact of life, but repaying them isn't stressful if you plan and take control over them early.
If you took out student loans from the government, you have a six-month "grace period" when payments are not due.
This is the time to build your emergency fund by beginning to act like you need to make the ultimate monthly payment, and making it into your savings account instead.
Gradible offers free student loan evaluations and planning resources to help you get on the best student loan repayment plan for your budget and loan types.
8. Not using income-driven repayment plans
If you were in school and didn't have income, you will qualify for low to $0 monthly payments on your student loans for your first year out, because these are based on your previous year's income level.
If you are struggling to find work and are approaching the end of your six-month grace period, you should explore your student loan repayment options.
9. Not contacting servicers
For all of these adjustments, you will need to contract your student loan servicer, which is the company that bills you and collects your student loan payments.
The four main student loan servicers are Navient, Great Lakes, Nelnet and FedLoan Servicing.
If you receive emails or letters from these companies, be sure to open them and review them, because they likely contain very important student loan information and should not be ignored.
10. Spending too much on your first apartment
You've just gotten your first job, and you can't wait to take that huge first step of getting your own place. Stop.
Make sure that this fully-loaded cost, including the utilities you'll owe and any building or neighborhood fees, is less than 30 percent of your take-home pay from your job.
It will be very difficult to meet other obligations if you let this cost get out of hand.
11. Using credit cards for wants
You should use credit cards wisely, but so many people don't.
I get it; it's easy to put the night out on the town or a new pair of jeans on the plastic, but if you don't have the budget to pay off your credit card in full each month, you'll start racking up interest charges.
Before you know it, you'll be struggling just to meet the interest payments, let alone making progress on getting out of credit card debt.
12. Being lazy
The easiest way to cut costs in your budget is to start doing things yourself that require a bit of extra effort, but save you money.
If you can walk somewhere, do it; you'll save on gas. If you don't know how to cook, learn now; you'll save on eating out (and probably be healthier).
Do your own laundry instead of taking it out to someone who will charge you.
Friends And Family
13. Giving in to peer pressure
There will always be fun things to do popping up in your feeds and through texts from all sorts of friends and family. You have to live within your means though.
Make sure to stick to your budget, even when you're getting the hard sell on a delicious (but expensive) dinner or a crazy (but expensive) concert.
14. Supporting other people
Similarly to avoiding peer pressure, avoid people in your life who are "takers."
The pressure to help out and pick up a tab or two can quickly spiral into a negative relationship that drains your accounts and leaves you feeling hurt.
Know who your true friends are, the ones who things always even out with and the ones who are more concerned about hanging with you than what you're doing or who is paying.
15. Trying to be "the boss"
You can be tempted to get your first paycheck (believe me, it feels great) and go out and live large like the boss you are. But, be careful.
A one-time splurge can quickly become a habit if you're not careful.
To sum it up, if you make a plan and stick to it, put yourself out there, but know your limits. Your entry into the "real world" will be smooth, and all that knowledge you picked up in college will be put to good use.

Metastatic brain tumorBrain tumor - metastatic (secondary); Cancer - brain tumor (metastatic)
A metastatic brain tumor is cancer that started in another part of the body and has spread to the brain.
Many tumor or cancer types can spread to the brain. The most common are:

Some types of cancer rarely spread to the brain, such as colon cancer and prostate cancer. In other rare cases, a tumor can spread to the brain from an unknown location. This is called cancer of unknown primary (CUP).
Growing brain tumors can place pressure on nearby parts of the brain. Brain swelling due to these tumors also causes increased pressure within the skull.

Brain tumors that spread are classified based on the location of the tumor in the brain, the type of tissue involved, and the original location of the tumor.
Metastatic brain tumors occur in about one fourth (25%) of all cancers that spread through the body. They are much more common than primary brain tumors (tumors that start in the brain).

- Vomiting, with or without nausea
- Weakness of a body area
Specific symptoms vary. Common symptoms of most types of metastatic brain tumors are caused by increased pressure in the brain.
Exams and Tests
An exam can show brain and nervous system changes based on where the tumor is in the brain. Signs of increased pressure in the skull are also common. Some tumors may not show signs until they are very large. Then, they can cause a very quick decline in nervous system function.
The original (primary) tumor may be found by examining tumor tissues from the brain.
Tests may include:

Surgery may be used when there is a single tumor and the cancer has not spread to other parts of the body. Some tumors may be completely removed. Tumors that are deep or that extend into brain tissue may be reduced in size (debulked).
