HILLSDALE - The streets are crumbling. City services are pared back. The police force is shrinking. And the budget situation is going to get even worse in the next few years.
The state isn't offering financial aid to Hillsdale or hundreds of other cash-strapped Michigan municipalities struggling to balance their budgets. No one would blame residents if they resented efforts to help Detroit while their own city was suffering. But even in this Republican stronghold, famous as the home of a college that espouses limited government, residents who spoke with Bridge feel the state needs to help its biggest city.
"No one wants an eyesore as our largest community," said resident Mary Wolfram.
A statewide poll of 600 Michigan voters commissioned by the Detroit Journalism Cooperative found majority support for a plan to offer $350 million to Detroit to reduce pension debt owed retired city workers and help Detroit avoid having to sell museum artwork as part of a proposed bankruptcy settlement.
Typical of that support is Hillsdale, a community that shares some of the problems, but none of the headlines, of Detroit.
"People know about Detroit," said Gary Wolfram, husband of Mary Wolfram and a Hillsdale College professor. "But they're not going to have an opinion of Hillsdale or Moscow or Menominee. People don't know what's happening in small towns."
'Detroit's not alone'
Gary Wolfram grips the steering wheel of his Ford Fusion as it rattles along a street he characterizes as "one of our better roads." Gary is a professor of economics and public policy at Hillsdale College. He and his wife, Mary, work with the city government on economic development. They know the numbers behind Hillsdale's economic slide, and a short drive around this community near the Indiana and Ohio borders reveals the impact.
The streets are deteriorating. A large, long-closed flour mill sits crumbling just a few blocks from downtown.
Bonnie Tew, the finance director for the city, points to a thick pile of charts showing declines in property taxes and revenue sharing. Unlike Detroit, the city has avoided going into debt, but it's not been easy.
"Detroit isn't the only one with problems" Tew said. "The city isn't in bad financial shape, but we've lost our industry. Our property tax revenues have plummeted. When we used to produce $150,000 per mill, now we get $130,000 per mill."
The city government had 84 employees a decade ago; in the 2014-15 budget year, there will be 68 – a decline that wreaks havoc in a community where the laid off are likely to be Sunday school teachers or youth soccer coaches.
At a heated City Council meeting last week, residents complained about a proposal to cut a full-time police officer position, the third position to be eliminated in the past decade in a department of 14.
Recounting the meeting, Tew shakes her head. "Where are you going to come up with the $50,000 for that officer?" she asked.
Cutting until it hurts
Hillsdale has rising expenses and falling revenue. The top seven employers in the city are all tax-exempt. Property tax revenues dropped with the value of the city's aging homes. The median household income was $31,535 in 2011, more than 30 percent below the state average.
To keep its municipal pension fund financially strong, the city stopped repairing streets. "Gary and I moved here in 1989," Mary Wolfram said. "Most of the local streets have not been repaired in that time. We share a lot of the same problems (as Detroit): aging infrastructure, aging housing stock."
Hillsdale is doing what it can to pinch pennies. The city stopped sweeping the streets a few years ago. A beach at a nearby lake that used to be operated by the city now is funded through fundraisers by the Hillsdale Rotary Club. The city council has been known to debate where to buy nuts and bolts – the local hardware store or the Wal-Mart down the road, where the city could save a few dollars.
Mary Wolfram wonders if Detroit has been managed as well. Still, "do I begrudge Detroit getting some help? No," she said. "Whether you like it or not, you take care of people."
That feeling is reflected by Rep. Kenneth Kurtz, R-White Lake, whose district includes Hillsdale, and may soon take part in a vote on the Detroit aid.
"There's some commonality there," Kurtz said. "Detroit has problems, we all read about it in the newspaper," Kurtz said. "But Hillsdale has infrastructure problems, too. The difference is, Detroit is in the New York Times and Hillsdale doesn't get the headlines.
"There's no doubt the state has some responsibility to a degree" to help Detroit, Kurtz said. "The whole confidence of the state is at stake. One of the big questions is, where does this end?"
Losing a lifestyle
Nobody expects a bailout anytime soon for Hillsdale. There's no headline-grabbing bankruptcy here, no one threatening to sell art, no retirees worried about losing their pensions. Instead, you have crumbling streets that no one knows about outside the city limits.
Still, Detroit needs support, Kurtz said. Neighbors help neighbors.
Gary Wolfram hopes that it's Hillsdale's turn for support soon. Otherwise, "you're going to lose a lifestyle," he said. "Places like Hillsdale are going to become ghost towns."

Qualls Native American Lineage

There is no QuallS reservation in NC. What is there is QuallA Boundary, which afaik, is not related to the Qualls name. My understanding/memory is that there was a trading post operated by a woman named Polly or Paula, which was hard for the Cherokee to pronounce and their pronunciation was Qualla.
That said, the Qualls/Quarles names occur on various Cherokee rolls, both for the Eastern Band in NC and the Western band in Oklahoma.
There was a 'village' known as Qualls Oklahoma, about 15 miles south of Tahlequah, capital of the Western Band of Cherokee. There was a Qualls post office established in 1909. It was perhaps more properly White Oak but that name was taken so the post office was named Qualls after the first postmaster.

Antique Robert Adams Firearms
Antique Robert Adams Firearms are handguns designed by Robert Adams (1809-1880), who patented the first successful double-action revolver in 1851.
Robert Adams worked as the manager for London arms manufacturers George and John Dean. Adams' British patent came through in 1851, and the .436 Dean and Adams began to be produced. The .436 Dean and Adams was a five-shot percussion revolver, and the first made with a solid frame. The double action system cocked the hammer itself by simply pulling the trigger, instead of having to cock it manually, thereby allowing the gun to be fired much more rapidly than single-action revolvers.Background & history of production
The gun was so successful that the Dean brothers made Adams a partner in the firm. It was used by the cavalry of the East India Company.
However, while it was highly regarded, it was more expensive than the Colt's mass-produced single-action guns. It had no recoil shield behind the cylinder so therefore occasionally burned the hand of the shooter with black powder blowback, and the longer trigger pull necessary to cock the hammer meant that aiming the gun was less accurate.
A new and improved model was produced in 1854, and it was used by the British in the Crimean war.
A Crimean veteran, Lieutenant Frederick E. B. Beaumont, improved the Adams gun in 1855. He linked the trigger to a spurred hammer to allow both single and double action fire. The Beaumont-Adams revolver was produced, adopted by the British Army, and tipped the scales in the fierce competition between Adams and Colt, forcing Colt to close his London manufactory.
Adams left the Dean brothers and founded the London Armoury Company in 1856. The Beaumont-Adams became the official revolver of the British Army during the 1857 Indian Mutiny. The U.S. purchased hundreds of the guns after the Massachusetts Arms Company were licensed to manufacture them, which were used during the American Civil War.
The London Armoury Company did very well from the Adams revolvers, but in 1859 they decided to focus on infantry rifles instead. Adams sold his stock and left the company, to continue to manufacture his revolvers in Birmingham.
Collecting guide
Adams revolvers can be beautiful items for collectors. They are more valuable if they retain original cases, with accessories such as bullet moulds, oil bottles, cleaning utensils etc. They saw many small adaptations over the years rather than bringing out several new models, so each one can be seen as quite unique. They were also often adapted in one aspect or another by the manufacturer. As is common with firearms, the worth rises considerably if they have a proven connection with a famous historical figure or event, so it is worth researching them thoroughly.
Price guide and notable auction sales
Adams revolvers are very coveted firearms. They usually sell for several thousand, sometimes tens of thousands. The top priced Adams revolvers are generally beautiful examples come in original cases, with accessories.

On a personal note, we got to check an item off our "bucket list" this past weekend with a Segway Tour of White River State Park. For those unfamiliar with them, Segways are those funny looking two-wheel vehicles that look like they should fall over. You may have seen police or security personnel at the airport or mall riding one. We've been wanting to try one for years, and finally got the opportunity. We were not disappointed!
The 1 1/4 hour tour covered about 5 miles of White River State Park and the downtown canal system. You can glide past the park's many attractions, such as the NCAA Hall of Champions and the Indiana State Museum/IMAX, or visit the city's many war memorials. Try that walking. Fun, exciting, easy to use (it took about a minute of practice before we were zipping around the park at ten miles an hour,) and just plain cool, a Segway tour will make a great (and unique) holiday gift for your adventurous friends or family members. Visit the Segway of Indiana website for more information. We highly recommend it!
And don't forget, Thiele Heating & Air Conditioning service technicians are on duty to handle your emergency heating repair needs throughout the holiday season. Whether its Christmas Day or New Years Eve, our techs are ready to serve you, 24/7. Call (317) 639-1111 anytime, day or night and a member of our staff, not an answering service, will take your call and quickly dispatch the help you need. Visit www.CallThiele.com for more information about our services and Central Indiana service area.

This rings true and BYOD reminds me of the early PC days when IT tryed to control the adoption of PCs. Adopt BYOD and the Cloud and don't wait for the business to get BYOD and Cloud out of control.
Why Innovation Is Still Cloud Driven When I was asked about innovation, the first thing I did was review my research to get an idea of what my peers in the industry were predicting for our parallel IT futures. Not surprisingly, they all reflected the same sentiment: the cloud is growing, and employees will continue to bring their own devices (BYOD). BYOD is a trend that has remained a hot topic, and point of controversy, throughout the year. Now that we're entering the second half of 2013, I think we can safely say that those predictions have been realized. Because the cloud is the common theme throughout all innovation and tech conversations, I am going to focus solely on where I believe the cloud is heading. At this time I would like to take this opportunity to look even deeper into the crystal ball and provide some insight into where the cloud conversation is heading for the remainder of 2013 and 2014.

Occasionally a student will say something to me like I can't imagine you getting upset, angry etc. My long standing practice of yoga have certainly given me a sense of inner calm. It hasn't made me immune to negative emotions though. I have them and I don't want to get rid of them. Sometimes sadness and anger are appropriate, if I went to hug someone who was attacking me it probably wouldn't help me very much.
I got thinking about this topic because it came up in the book we are currently reading in Liverpool Yoga Book Club, Yoga the Quest for the True Self. In chapter 12 Stephen Cope references a study by Dan Brown and Jack Engler on long term meditation practitioners, what they found was that the advanced practitioners continue to experience negative emotions
"What changes was not so much the amount of or nature of conflict but awareness of and reactivity to it… (the… practitioner) may note the intense desire until it passes, like every other transient mental state; or he/she may act on it, but with full awareness" Dan Brown and Jack Engler
I found this interesting as it matches my own experience. It's not wrong to feel negative emotions and it sometimes even appropriate to act on these emotions. I don't think that yoga and meditation are meant to send you into dazed state of inactive bliss. What I have found is that I am able to notice the feeling and observe it with curiosity. Oh I am feeling frustrated I wonder what that's about? Often we don't have to react to something straight away and it can be good to sit with the emotion and see if it passes as well as work out what the source of the feeling really is. If possible, I will always let at least the bulk of the emotion pass before I act and often there is no need to do anything at all.
Perfectionism on the yoga path
I think it's important to clarify this as perfectionism is something that can impact many areas of life. I think sometimes people expect that when they have a yoga practice they will never get a negative emotions again and then they may feel like a failure in some way when they do. This is such a shame and this self judgment will only help the individual cling to the emotion rather than let it pass.
Experiencing here and now
The main problem with negative emotions isn't that we have them or even that we act on them although both can obviously be challenging at the time. The biggest problem people have is they recreate them or manufacture them based on possible futures which they hallucinate and then worry about. Yoga and any other kind of mindfulness practice will help with this because we are training the breath to be present in this moment and so we experience now fully rather than reliving the past or worrying about the future. Of course reflecting on the past and envisioning the future can be useful but worrying about either is generally fruitless.
What do you think? Has yoga changed the way you manage your negative emotions? How?

Faithful Place by Tana French
Published by Viking Penguin July 2010
Source: this one is all mine
Publisher's Summary:
Back in 1985, Frank Mackey was nineteen, growing up poor in Dublin's inner city, and living crammed into a small flat with his family on Faithful Place. But he had his sights set on a lot more. He and Rosie Daly were all ready to run away to London together, get married, get good jobs, break away from factory work and poverty and their old lives.
But on the winter night when they were supposed to leave, Rosie didn't show. Frank took it for granted that she'd dumped him-probably because of his alcoholic father, nutcase mother, and generally dysfunctional family. He never went home again.
Neither did Rosie. Everyone thought she had gone to England on her own and was over there living a shiny new life. Then, twenty-two years later, Rosie's suitcase shows up behind a fireplace in a derelict house on Faithful Place, and Frank is going home whether he likes it or not.
Getting sucked in is a lot easier than getting out again. Frank finds himself straight back in the dark tangle of relationships he left behind. The cops working the case want him out of the way, in case loyalty to his family and community makes him a liability. Faithful Place wants him out because he's a detective now, and the Place has never liked cops. Frank just wants to find out what happened to Rosie Daly-and he's willing to do whatever it takes, to himself or anyone else, to get the job done.
My Thoughts:
I'm done. I've now read all five of the Dublin Murder Squad books. I'm so sad.
I read the series out of order, sort of. I was introduced to French's books with book four in the series, Broken Harbor and then read The Secret Place when it came out. In August, I went back to the beginning. Which leaves me ending with Faithful Place.
Because French brings one or two characters from one book into the next, it's probably best to start with book one and work your way through the books, although it's certainly not necessary. On the other hand, had I done that, I would not have ended my French reading spree with what I think is the best of the books.
Frank Mackey first appeared in the second book, The Likeness. I did not like him at all. He was a cop who was all about getting the results that he wanted and his methods were not entirely on the up and up. He was not a nice guy.
In Faithful Place, French takes us back and let's us see what made Frank Mackey the person he became. A tough neighborhood, abusive parents, and terrible heartbreak turned a young boy into a tough guy who's not necessarily interested in the rules. Frank's also really, really not interested in getting involved again with his screwed up family. So unwilling to do it that his ex-wife and seven-year-old daughter have never even met any of them except one sister. When she calls him in hysterics, though, and drops the name of Rosie Daly, Frank can't help but be pulled back in and we spend a lot of time getting to know them and his complicated relationship with them.
As interesting as solving the case is, the relationship between the characters and Frank's relationship with Faithful Place were the most interesting things about Faithful Place. Frank still may not be the nicest guy or most ethical cop, but he's a complete person, a devoted father with a sad past and a deep love for the girl he thought left him. I've kind of got a soft spot for ol' Frankie now.
Now how much longer to I have to wait for the next book?!
5 comments:
I am making a note of this one. I like the setting as well.ReplyDelete
I agree. Frank was hard to take in The Likeness and then I read Faithful Place. Yes, Frank definitely has a place in my heart. And I'm ready for the next book too!ReplyDelete
I need to get back to this series. I've only read the first book, but I have all of them on my TBR shelf. My husband gave me the most recent one as a gift--and I still haven't read it. How terrible am I? I am glad you enjoyed this one!ReplyDelete
I'm so excited to be starting this series! I'm reading the first one this year and I've heard nothing but good things about them and the blurb and your review on this one make it sound absolutely fantastic.ReplyDelete
I love this series! I've read all of them in order and am almost finished with The Secret Place (which is my least favorite, at least at this point). I loved Faithful Place and The Likeness, but they're really all so good. Wouldn't this make for a great HBO series?ReplyDelete

Indicator 4: Traffic noise: exposure and annoyance
About 120 million people in the EU (more than 30 % of the total population) are exposed to road traffic noise levels above 55 L dB. More than 50 million people are exposed to noise levels above 65 L dB.
Figure 1.12: Share of population exposed to different road traffic
noise levels (EU)
Policy and targets
Noise affects people physiologically and psychologically: noise levels above 40 dB LAeq can influence well-being, with most people being moderately annoyed at 50 dB LAeq and seriously annoyed at 55 dB LAeq. Levels above 65 dB LAeq are detrimental to health (WHO, 1999). Overall, the external costs of road and rail traffic noise have been estimated at some 0.4 % of GDP (ECMT, 1998).
Community noise emission limits have been considerably tightened since 1972 and legislation now sets maximum sound levels for motor vehicles, motor cycles and aircraft. However, methodological inconsistencies (non-harmonised indices and inadequate testing procedures for vehicles) have hampered progress on urban acoustic quality standards and severely limit the accuracy of noise assessments. The Green Paper on Future Noise Policy (CEC, 1996b) was the first step in the development of a Community noise policy.
The European Commission is currently preparing the future Community noise policy, assisted by a number of working groups. The policy will focus on: indicators, exposure/impact relationships, computation and measurement, mapping, exchange of experience on abatement action, research and development, and the measurement of costs and benefits. The forthcoming Framework Directive on environmental noise may require all cities with population above a certain threshold (possibly 250 000 inhabitants with a density of at least 1 000 inhabitants per km2) to produce noise maps quantifying noise exposure. Some Member States are already monitoring noise and setting limits to noise pollution in sensitive areas.
Traffic noise remains a major environmental problem as transport demand continues to grow. The magnitude of exposure varies according to the sources (i.e. transport mode):
- it is estimated that approximately 32 % of the EU population is exposed to road noise levels above 55 LDN dB on the façade of their houses (Figure 1.12);
- some 37 million people (10 % of the EU population), are exposed to rail noise above 55 LAeq dB, according to an estimate based on data from France, Germany and the Netherlands (Lambert et al., 1998);
- EU-wide data on exposure to aircraft noise is currently the least reliable, but an estimate of the number of people exposed to more than 55 LDN dB around selected airports gives an indication of the scale of the problem (Table 1.3). These airports differ considerably in magnitude of traffic, fleet mix and lay-out in respect to noise-sensitive areas, and can therefore provide a representative basis for this analyses.

Assessing the impact of noise requires exposure data to be transposed into annoyance estimates. A . noise annoyance. assessment at the EU level has been hampered by gaps in data and knowledge, but recent research (Miedema et al., 1998) allows estimates of annoyance to be inferred from exposure data.
A first try-out of this new calculation method at the EU level suggests that around 24 million people are highly annoyed (HA) by road traffic noise higher than 55 dB (Figure 1.13).This estimate excludes the category 45-55 dB because of lack of information . However, this is a category where annoyance can also be caused.
Applying a similar methodology to recent rail noise data (Lambert, 1998) suggests that about 3 million people are highly annoyed by rail traffic noise.
Aircraft noise, noise with low frequency components or accompanied by vibration, and noise that interferes with social and economic activity are more annoying than other noise (WHO, 1999). However, the number of people highly annoyed by aircraft noise in the EU cannot be accurately estimated, because much annoyance is caused by noise levels of 45-55 LDN dB for which there is a lack of information. An earlier assessment (INRETS,1994) suggest that some 10 % of the total EU population may be highly annoyed by air transport noise.

At present, differences in methodologies preclude comparisons between Member States. Table 1.4 gives as an example some data for Finland and Germany.

Future work
Combining noise exposure and population data with dose/effect relationships should enable the following indicators to be calculated:
- the number of highly annoyed people, by transport mode;
- the number of people whose sleep is disturbed, by transport mode.
Future Community noise level targets will probably be expressed in LDEN. This measure is similar to LDN , but with an additional penalty of 5 dB(A) for evening noise.
Additional or alternative indicators that could be considered are:
- budget allocations to noise abatement measures (with particular indication for spending on noise control at source), indicating levels of awareness and concern in the Member States;
- the ratio of the number of people annoyed by transport noise to the number of passengers for air traffic or passenger-km for road and rail traffic. Such indicators would link noise annoyance with personal mobility for different transport modes;
- similar indicators linking noise annoyance with freight tonnage for air traffic or tonne-km for road/rail/air traffic.
Another possibility for a national noise indicator, which could be introduced rapidly but may be rather expensive, is through direct random-field social surveys; this is already being done in the Netherlands on a national basis every five years. A similar type of questionnaire for use by all Member States would provide comparative results for the EU.

Evidence that coded-wire-tagging procedures can enhance transmission of Renibacterium salmoninarum in chinook salmon
- More information: Publisher Index Page (via DOI)
- Download citation as: RIS | Dublin Core
Binary coded wire tags (CWTs) are used extensively for identification and management of anadromous salmonid populations. A study of bacterial kidney disease (BKD) in two brood year groups of hatchery-reared spring chinook salmon Oncorhynchus tshawytscha provided strong evidence that horizontal transmission of Renibacterium salmoninarum, the causative agent of BKD, might be enhanced by CWT-marking procedures. About 4 months after CWTs were implanted in the snouts of juvenile fish, 14-16 different tissues were sampled from each of 60 fish per brood year group for histological analysis. Of the fish that were positive for R. salmoninarum by histological examination, 41% (7 of 17) of the 1988 brood year fish and 24% (10 of 42) of the 1989 brood year fish had BKD lesions confined to the head near the site of tag implantation. These lesions often resulted in the destruction of tissues of one or both olfactory organs. No focal snout infections were observed in fish that had not been marked with CWTs. Further data obtained from tissue analyses by use of an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and a fluorescent antibody test for detection of R. salmoninarum supported the hypothesis that infections of R. salmoninarum can be initiated in the snout tissues of CWT-marked fish and then spread to other organs. The tagging procedures might promote transmission of the pathogen among fish via contaminated tagging needles, by facilitating the entry of pathogens through the injection wound, or both. Limited evidence from this study suggested that implantation of passive integrated transponder tags in the peritoneal cavities of fish might also promote the transmission of R. salmoninarum or exacerbate existing infections. The results indicated a need for strict sanitary procedures during the tagging of fish in populations positive for R. salmoninarum to reduce the probability of enhanced horizontal transmission of the pathogen.

The AUD/USD pair fell during the trading session on Tuesday, touching the 200-day exponential moving average. I still think there's a significant amount of support below at the 0.75 level, so a supportive candle could be a buying opportunity. If we break above the top of the shooting star from the Monday session, that would be a very bullish sign as well, so either way I think the easier to trade now is to go long. However, we need gold to help us as well, as there is such a high correlation between the 2 markets.

We know that untreated muscular tension in your body can be a trigger for migraines, but how can you release it?
The commonly known ways are massage, stretching and manipulation, but we sometimes find that the lessor known "indirect techniques" can be more effective.
Indirect techniques are gentle and subtle and achieved a 95% reduction in migraine frequency in chronic migraine sufferers a 2015 study*.
Here is a general introduction to indirect techniques that we use in treating migraines:

Haven't you ever played a good game of 'Would You Rather'? What about the deserted island edition? Well, it's time to level it up by including some zodiac stats in the mix. You'd be surprised at some of these mixes, but it's also pretty intriguing to see who makes the best combos in the zodiac when they're put in a tough situation.
Our zodiac signs can reveal many things, including what we can usually handle, things we lack, and what characteristics are needed to keep us balanced. No one is perfect, just like no one zodiac sign is ideal. But seriousness aside, it's fun to think about the kind of partner you would need if you were ever in a situation where you're stuck on a deserted island.
Think about it. What can you put up with? What are you super unsure of within yourself? For all of us, there is plenty that we know we are in shortage of. But in order to survive this kind of situation, you have to keep in mind that you need to be entertained, get your needs met, and also make up for what isn't exactly your expertise. Let's face it, if you're going to survive being stuck on a desert island with just one other person, it's important to be realistic. After all, you're going to need to survive physically and mentally.

24 Gemini Man: The Libra Would Be Perfect Since He Needs To Lead Someone
The Gemini man needs change and excitement in his life. This is possible, but in all of the wrong ways, if they ever became stranded on a deserted island. They need a sign that can keep up with them, but also be willing to be lead into their world willingly. Libra's can make great followers—not a dis!
Are you surprised by the fact that the Gemini man needs to lead as well? Lucky for him, the Libra is willing to learn from him and is full of surprises to keep him entertained as well. In turn, the Libra will enjoy the complexities that come with trying to understand the Gemini man. He is adventurous, and the Libra is so ready for any adventures that are to come.
23 Gemini Woman: Another Gemini, Since She Loves To Chat And Needs Someone Just As Talkative
Gemini women can be real talkers. There's a reason they tend to lead the conversations that they are a part of; because they have so much to say. It's not necessarily anything worthy either, but they enjoy being the ones with all of the talking points. It only makes sense to pair a Gemini woman with another Gemini who will understand her need to have an opinion on everything.
She also needs someone willing to actually listen to her and what she has to say. Otherwise, it's likely that she'll try to go off on her own in this situation. And when it comes to deserted islands, you're better off together rather than on your own. She enjoys speaking her mind, so another Gemini will understand that she means no harm wither words.
22 Capricorn Man: Needs The Motivation That Only A Taurus Can Give
A Capricorn guy can be just as you imagined a standard man to be. He likes to have his ego stroked and can accomplish almost anything so long as he is constantly motivated. He works better with a partner rather than on his own. On the other hand, the Capricorn man will have a hard time revealing this to anyone. It takes the emotional intelligence of a Taurus to pick up on these things over time, and satisfy the Capricorn.
Of course, the Taurus is fantastic as taking care of other emotionally. And they'll enjoy the positivity that is reflected back at them from a nourished Capricorn man. The Capricorn man is often labeled 'difficult' because of their lack of communication, but the Taurus knows how to bring out his best.
21 Capricorn Woman: Makes The Perfect Power Duo With Virgo
A Capricorn woman is often overlooked, but that's a big mistake! She is low maintenance and very quick witted. This often lands her into trouble since it's hard to take her seriously. That's why a Virgo would benefit her. The Virgo knows exactly what it's like to be overlooked and stepped over, and can inspire the Capricorn woman to reveal her best assets.
She is a rock for the Virgo to lean on, and the Virgo will appreciate her most for this since they are often stuck in their heads. The Capricorn woman will keep the Virgo centered and focused, and the Virgo will help her realize that she is capable of anything. Together, they could make the best out of being stuck on a deserted island like no other combo.
20 Taurus Man: Can Make All Of The Hard Decisions That A Pisces Can't
The Pisces is one complicated sign. Even worse, is their inability to make decisions when things get rough. They are constantly second-guessing themselves, even if they don't show it, and find it hard to have confidence in their choices. The Taurus man, on the other hand, has no problem making decisions, no matter how unpopular they may be.
He makes for a good leader because of this. When there is someone in need of his leadership, he will happily take his place as a major player. The Pisces will make him feel needed and will take initiative when the Taurus needs a break. He also needs to be kept constantly busy, and the Pisces will have no problem coming up with a list of chores for him to rightfully complete.
19 Taurus Woman: Needs The Nurturing Of A Cancer
A Taurus woman is often seen in the light of a mother. She may be the one to cook and clean, and of course, care for the people she loves. But she also needs to be nurtured in return. The Cancer will definitely be up to the task of making sure that the Taurus woman is well taken care of so she can go about her business.
In the end, she will be a stable partner for the Cancer, who hold a very deep, insecure streak among the rest of the zodiac signs. The Cancer needs to feel safe, and the Taurus knows exactly to achieve this kind of healthy harmony between the two signs that will help live a long and happy life even if they're stuck on a deserted island.
18 Aquarius Man: Capable Of Fixing Anything With A Pisces By His Side
The Aquarius man doesn't exactly wear his heart on his sleeve like a Pisces might. However, the Pisces can quickly inspire him to turn over a new leaf. They begin to create a very compassionate bond, which is new for the Aquarius, but much needed if they plan on surviving the wild together.
On their island, the Aquarius will be the one to build their roof and invent ways for the two to survive. While the Pisces offers him a much-needed break from the realities of their situation. With a realistic thinker like Aquarius, the mental break is essential for them to survive in the end. Problems are rare between these two signs, and the Aquarius will feel as if they can fix any situation with their thinking combined with the Pisces dreamy wonders.
17 Aquarius Woman: Can Adventure Off With Gemini
Gemini and Aquarius have the ability to be kindred spirits when their relationship is healthy. Of course, the pressures of being stuck on an island can cause some chaos, but they know that they are better together. They can easily start a very intimate conversation with each other that lasts for hours without them even realizing.
The Aquarius has more fun with others than on their own, and the Gemini can't stand being alone either. The Gemini can tend to venture off on their own, but the Aquarius also has an adventurous streak that these too can relate to. They respect boundaries and know how to leave one another alone when they've overstayed their welcome. Of course, this situation would be common on a deserted island.
16 Cancer Man: Would Love To Protect The Virgo
Leave it to the Cancer man to be the perfect mix of tender and tough. Yes, they tend to be quite insecure, but are highly compassionate signs. Virgo's can show them a thing or two about controlling their emotions, but Virgos are also a softer sign that needs to feel safe. Imagine this on a deserted island! The Cancer man will happily swoop down and become the Virgo's protector.
In return, the Virgo will go out of their way to make sure the Cancer feel secure in their current situation, and if properly nurtured. The Virgo is often a sign that cares for other however they are needed, and they are happy to do so as well. Virgo's are natural caretakers, and the Cancer will become stronger with them by their side.
15 Cancer Woman: Relates Best To The Goals Of A Taurus
There's a reason that they call the Taurus a goal getter. Leave it to them to want to build a village on an abandoned island, even if they know it will just be them and another person. The Cancer woman appreciates the Taurus' skills and motivation, which will move her to join in and cut that task list in half.
These two can achieve a lot in very little time when given the opportunity. And of course, they'll have all the time in the world if they are stuck together on a remote island. The Taurus isn't a great communicator overall, but with the Cancer woman to do all of the talking, the Taurus instantly builds a healthy bond with them. The two are quite intelligent so they won't have any awkward moments to sulk about.
14 Pisces Man: Will Never Get Bored Of The Scorpio
The Scorpio can be pretty intense to the Pisces initially. There may be a delay in a good friendship or relationship between the two. But the Pisces will always come back for more because they are drawn to the Scorpio's infamous charm and mystery. The Scorpio keeps them guessing, and the Pisces soon begins to understand the Scorpio ways.
It is rare if these two have any miscommunication. They are both good at speaking their minds, and the Pisces will surely put themselves in a Scorpio's shoes to try and understand them. The Pisces requires the Scorpio to be tender, and they can train themselves to be this way over time. Let's face it, you have all of the time in the world when you're stuck on an island together.
13 Pisces Woman: Needs To Be Brought Back To Reality By Capricorn
Seeing as how otherworldly a Pisces can be, it's no surprise that they are often mesmerized and need to be brought down to reality. Other signs may find this annoying about them, but the ultra-rational Capricorn makes for the perfect back-to-earth moment. Their differences are actually appealing to the two. They want to understand each other rather than initially reject one another.
The Pisces woman inspires the Capricorn to get in touch with a deeper side, which is quite an entertaining shock to the Capricorn. The spontaneity of the Pisces will serve to benefit both parties. She needs a mental escape, and frankly, so does the Capricorn, even if they don't know it yet. They might not communicate very well, but it's their tenacity in trying to understand each other that will win.
12 Sagittarius Man: Will Remain Blissfully Distracted By The Cancer
The Sagittarius man's intentions aren't always clear seeing as how unstable his emotions tend to be. He can really be the life of the party, but when it is just him on a remote island with one other sign, it should probably be a Cancer. The Cancer will probably have traits that the Sagittarius man will be in desperate need of, he just won't know it.
The Cancer is more grounded and can help the Sagittarius get in touch with reality. While the Sagittarius man loves wild adventures, being trapped on a remote island is like a dream. He can create his own world with the help of the Cancer, who will help scale all of his grand ideas and make them more achievable. When it is just the two of them, the Sagittarius man will learn to become more reliable.
11 Sagittarius Woman: Wants A Wild Card Like Aries To Keep Them Entertained
Give the Sagittarius a remote island, and you might bore her to death. She needs someone with her, and she needs an unpredictable wild card like the Aries. Aries is not an easy sign in general, most likely thanks to their super ego. However, they are very energetic and optimistic, which the Sagittarius woman feeds off of.
The Aries is capricious, and the Sagittarius woman loves this since she is known as a traveler, and maybe even a nomad to others. On the deserted island, she finally feels at home and can help the Aries adjust to being stuck somewhere where they can't be worshiped or have their ego stroked 24/7. The two realize that they have a lot more in common than they originally thought, and they are also ready for adventure at a moments notice.
10 Libra Man: Can Conquer Any Obstacles With Gemini
These air signs have incredible compatibility because there are so many traits that each has that are identical to one another. The Libra man can seem pretty dependent on their partner, so if they are going to trapped on an island together, the other person has to be open to having a clingy companion.
These two are social butterflies, so you can imagine the conversations that they would be ready to share while they're building a home on the remote island. They will have no problem getting along, and will genuinely enjoy each other's company. This kind of kinship is sure to survive the drama of being trapped on an island without another soul in sight. The Libra will learn to enjoy the Gemini's spontaneity.
9 Libra Man: Needs The Confidence Of An Aries To Fight His Indecision
Think of Aries and Libra as Mars and Venus. Venus is light and beautiful and full of love. Mars is often seen as fiery, hot-headed, but instinctive. These two will have a huge problem in the trust department. It is something that both have to build on, but with time it can get better. And time is all they will have on a remote island.
The Aries can stroke his own ego, while the Libra can sit in fascination and learn a thing or two in self-love. The Libra man is often indecisive. They aren't exactly the best contender when it comes to making tough decisions. That's why the Aries man will need to gladly step in and take the reins. They can teach the Libra to be more confident.
8 Scorpio Man: Works In Harmony With Cancer
Scorpios have the best chance of being understood by a Cancer. They are often seen as a darker sign, but the truth is that they're simply misunderstood. Really, it's their ability to emotionally repress themselves that causes them to reveal their dark side. The Cancer is not afraid of to witness this thanks to their innate curiosity.
The Cancer needs someone by their side who they can count on, and see as they'll be trapped on an island together, they have no choice but to get to know one another. It's as if they can communicate telepathically at some point. These two signs are highly intelligent and can quickly form a bond once the Scorpio opens up and embraces the possibilities of their situation with the Cancer.
7 Scorpio Woman: Can Conquer The World With Aquarius
This is a very intense combo, that can only work out when both parties are open to remaining real with one another. There is absolutely no trust between them at first. It's not that they're not both honest or straightforward, it's that they are both very cold at first and take time to warm up.
But eventually, the Scorpio woman can be much clearer with her train of thought. And they realize that the Aquarius can make a very strong partner when it comes to surviving together on a deserted island. They are both very strong independent signs. They can divvy up all of the hard work and build a very easy alliance together that will make for a satisfying adventure. At the very least, they are entertained by one another.
6 Virgo Man: Craves The Mind Games Of A Gemini To Keep Him Alert
When it comes to logic, the Virgo man is a person moved only by reason. He enjoys that he is more of an intellectual than most are used to, but you should consider him more book smart than street smart. On the other hand, the Gemini really confuses the Virgo man. The Gemini seems like a dual personality to him.
In fact, without knowing, the Gemini is soon playing mind games with the Virgo man, which keeps him intrigued. In reality, the Gemini is just being themselves. It takes a while for these to click, but eventually, they do. And the Gemini will keep the Virgo on his feet, while also keeping him amused. These two are both ruled by Mercury, making them highly intellectual which can keep them both distracted from the realities of such a situation.
5 Virgo Woman: Needs The Easygoing Streak Of Taurus
The Virgo woman can be more complex than you think. She may be more of an introvert than you're used to, but patience is key in getting her to open up and reveal her true potential. Virgos are often stuck in their own heads, debating things on their own and within themselves. The Taurus is much easier going and understands the need for patience when it comes to communicating with others.
The Taurus will make sure that the Virgo is not too hard on herself, as she tends to be. They can also teach the Virgo more about their grounded ways. After all, the Taurus understands that they are going to have all of the time in the world to complete the Virgo's endless list of tasks and to-dos.
4 Aries Man: Needs To Kill The Dull Moments With Aquarius
An Aries man can get very bored, which is why they opt not to spend any time alone as much as possible. The Aquarius knows how to make their own fun, and doesn't feel the need to wait for others to fall in line in order to do so. When egos collide, it could be a disaster, or very exciting.
On a good note, these two can make for an excellent support system for one another. Plus, they're both balls of energy so if one of them drops, the other has no problem picking the other back up and getting ready for another exciting adventure. They understand each other's need for space, and often times can wind up having a genuinely good time doing anything.
3 Aries Woman: Will Make Sparks In Any Situation With Sagittarius
The Aries woman is a fire sign. Don't get scared now. That just means that she can be one passionate lady when it comes to the things and people that she loves. In order to make things work on a deserted island, she needs someone who is just as strong as she is. In comes the Sagittarius. At first, the Sagittarius can be off-putting to her. She doesn't get them.
But soon enough, she will realize how fun-loving and spirited a Sagittarius can really be. The Aries woman is a sign of action, as is the Sagittarius. This means that they can get a lot of things accomplished, and together it's as if they are conquering the world. They both need honesty, and in return give it so their bond is genuine.
2 Leo Man: Can Be Like Mr. & Mrs. Smith With Aries
You may wonder why the Leo is so into themselves. They are energized by the sun, which rules itself. He is a lion, and maybe for his own good he needs to be tamed. That's why a headstrong Aries makes sense. The Aries isn't afraid of the lion's roar, which is perfect. The Leo man needs a challenge, and often lets others fall by the wayside when they are too intimidated by him.
Aries is ruled by aggressive Mars, but these fire signs make heat, which isn't such a bad thing when they're left on their own on a deserted island. When they get past the ego, these two realize that they have a lot in common, and make better friends than enemies. Best case scenario, they eventually cut loose on the mind games and make the perfect team.
1 Leo Woman: Can Divide And Accomplish Goals With Sagittarius
These two fire signs are as similar as you think. The Leo is fixed, and the Sagittarius is mutable. This can make for a very warm bond. The two really enjoy each other's company and get along very well. But it can be Leo's ego that rubs the Sagittarius the wrong way. The Sagittarius has no need to compete with the Leo, but the Leo may see things another way.
The Sagittarius understand the Leo more than they may know, so it really is up to the Leo to push past all of the bells and whistles and form a real bond together. They can quickly become best friends, and make the island a true paradise when they let go of the superficial and petty possible arguments.

Higher booze tax would cut crime: expert
Higher alcohol taxes would cut booze-related crime, reduce consumption among problem drinkers and only be a "modest burden" on most Australians, a leading public policy expert says.
Mark Kleiman, from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), says lifting the tax on alcohol is the best way to tackle alcohol-related violence.
"There's no drugs policy nearly as effective as raising alcohol taxes, nothing is nearly that easy, it's a free lunch," Professor Kleiman told a Bureau of Crime Statistics and Research (BOCSAR) conference in Sydney on Wednesday.
He said higher alcohol taxes would not require enforcement by police but would reduce the drinking of problem users and put a very modest burden on moderate drinkers.
In 2010, the Henry Tax review suggested all alcoholic drinks should be taxed on their volume of alcohol, at the rate applying to draught beer.
There have also been calls for cheap wine to be taxed at the same rate as drinks like spirits and pre-mixed drinks.
However, the federal government has previously ruled out any changes to the way alcohol is taxed.
Dr Kleiman told the conference that alcohol-fuelled violence could also be cut if people convicted of a drinking offence had a licence that barred them from buying booze.
But he said that would only work if everyone had to show a driving licence when buying alcohol at venues like bottle shops, pubs and clubs.
Dr Kleiman said attempts to control drug supply by just locking up drug dealers were setting police an "impossible task".
"Law enforcement is naturally futile when applied to mass-market drugs dealers," he said.
He said jailing drug dealers "simply created a niche for new dealers", noting that drugs policy should focus on alcohol.
"Alcohol is to all of the illicit drugs, in the damage that it does to health and the crime it creates, as the Pacific is to the Mediterranean, and we have our entire navy in the Med," Dr Kleiman said.

If a federal solar initiative saves a college student in New Jersey from asthma by reducing sulfate particles in the air, who will know what happened?
A new report from National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), "The Environmental and Public Health Benefits of Achieving High Penetrations of Solar Energy in the United States," delves into datasets to shine a light on the large-scale societal benefits of the decade-long SunShot Initiative.
The primary goal of SunShot is to drive the cost of solar down to $1 per watt in the United States. The initiative funds research and development across all sectors. It began in 2011. If SunShot achieves its goals, the 2012 Sunshot Vision Study says, solar power might meet around 14 percent of United States electricity demand by 2030 and 27 percent of it by 2050.
If this occurs, what health and environmental benefits can we expect to see?
This report said that in this scenario, the program would save over 25,000 lives by improving air quality. The economic benefits of the climate mitigation would be over $225 billion. The corresponding reduction in power-plant water withdrawal would be 46 trillion gallons.
The authors of the report work at NREL and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). They grouped the environmental benefits into three categories: climate mitigation, air quality, and water conservation.
Climate Mitigation
The projected global climate benefits are worth $259 billion. This estimate is based on an assumption about policies being based on the social cost of carbon. If, alternatively, solar was used to reduce the legal cost of carbon emissions, the benefits would be $239 billion.
Lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions from power production would be reduced by 18 percent in 2050. Cumulatively, between 2015 and 2050, these emissions would be cut by 10 percent.
What does this mean in terms of down-to-earth environmental changes that United States residents may see or experience?
On June 14, Climate Access hosted a webinar called "Communicating Summer Climate Impacts." According to the presenters, climate change can cause a broad range of social disruptions affecting the water cycle, storms, ecosystems, health and security.
Changes in how water cycles between rivers, snow packs, clouds and the ocean can combine with storms to result in droughts, floods, and other damage. Droughts can increase forest fires, affect species survival, and cause agricultural shortages. Flooding can destroy infrastructure, erode farmland, displace low-lying communities, disperse pollution, damage ecosystems, interfere with transportation, and require massive home repairs.
Marine and land ecosystems are altered by a changing climate. As species migrate, oceans acidify, and cultivation zones shift, the futures of individual fisheries, communities and farms become uncertain.
Heat-related public health issues increase with climate change. These can be related to insects, pollution, cardiac problems, respiratory issues, and mental illnesses. Heat aggravates some of these conditions and can exacerbate medication side effects.
Crime and conflict can intensify due to a heating globe, causing violence and affecting economic stability.
Averting this sea change that affects so much of what we take for granted brings financial benefits. But it is important not to understate the many qualitative, personal, local stories that may go along with this immense potential cost savings.
Air Quality
When the authors added air quality benefits to the equation, they found the total savings from the program was over $400 billion in one scenario.
"The high solar penetration scenario reduces premature mortality by between 25,000 and 90,000 lives," said Ryan Wiser, senior scientist and deputy group leader of the electricity markets and policy group at LBNL, during a webinar on June 22.
During the event, "Societal Benefits on the Path to Sunshot," Wiser said the report drilled down into a set of health conditions related to bronchitis, asthma, upper respiratory conditions, lower respiratory conditions, and heart attacks.
According to the report, these problems are due to sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) – especially SO2. SunShot would reduce the respective emissions of these three pollutants in 2050 by 15 percent, 18 percent, and 13 percent.
The projected financial benefits of improved air quality would be $167 billion in one scenario.
However, drilling down into the data reveals substantial regional variations depending on the location of the solar power.
Wiser said locating solar in the mid-Atlantic would be high-leverage because the population there is substantial. In contrast, locating solar power in California would have a lower impact than it would elsewhere because it would displace natural gas plants rather than coal plants.
Water Conservation
"There are myriad benefits to reducing the use of water in the power sector," Wiser said. Water shortages due to power-plant usage can compound the effects of climate-related problems.
The authors reported the results in terms of gallons of water saved. Dry states were among the ones with the highest savings.
"We don't have a lot of tools that can quantify the [water] benefits in monetary terms," Wiser said.
Power plant water use includes both withdrawal and consumption. Water that is withdrawn, but not consumed, is returned to the ecosystem, sometimes at a higher temperature.
The data analysis showed SunShot could reduce power-sector water withdrawals by 8 percent in 2030 and 5 percent in 2050. This would save 46 trillion gallons from withdrawal, cumulatively.
In this scenario, water consumption would be reduced by 10 percent in 2030 and 16 percent in 2050.
The power-plant analysis involved a range of projected results across a few different scenarios. "We conduct a sensitivity analysis that uses equal proportions of dry, wet and hybrid cooling," Wiser said.

Goo Goo Supreme Clusters
These traditional (since 1912!) Goo Goo Clusters, brought back from a Kentucky sojourn, are so fresh, so simple, so tooth achingly sweet, and sooo addictive. Pecans are suspended in milk chocolate which in turn surrounds a layer of both marshmallow and caramel. The entire thing constitutes an exceedingly sweet sticky and blissful mess. These are intense. I couldn't eat them all the time or in large quantities, but I love them nonetheless. Thanks, Farris!

So I've been thinking about dragon ears on and off for a little while (probably because of Grootslang things). Tonight, I didn't really know what to draw (and to be completely honest, didn't feel that much like drawing), so I started off with a fin, a forehead plate, then an ear, then a vague head shape:
My only qualm is that it feels a little more canine than draconic, and I'm not 100% sure why. It doesn't help that for some odd reason I started with a straight line, making it almost more like a gargoyle/waterspout than a living creature.
I also seem to be a bit fussy tonight because I'm irked that I didn't pick a light source so I could try to render the plates a bit better, got kind of frustrated and stopped. I should probably get to bed.

When you think about 'wedding season', the height of it all tends to be around the summer months. But as the weather becomes more and more unpredictable in the UK and we hear stories of weddings being completely washed out, more and more couples are choosing the winter months to get married.
And why not? Tying the knot in winter alleviates the pressure of the 'British' summer. In winter, good weather is a bonus and therefore not always a deciding factor when choosing a venue or a date. The venues are also cheaper during the winter, sometimes as much as half the price of dates through June to September. And if you are looking for a last minute date, chances are they are more available during the latter quarter of the year.
The scenery, whilst not bursting with floral abundance, is crisp and clear and minimal and fresh. The nights draw in giving the perfect backdrop for fireworks displays and festoon lighting. Tables can be dotted with candles and tealights and anything sparkly. Couples should remember that natural daylight is best for photographs, so bear that in mind when timing your day.
Brides can keep warm under faux fur wraps and velvet capes. Guests can snuggle up under blankets and congregate around open firepits with hot chocolates and marshmallows. Or warm their cockles on mulled wine or vodka ice sculptures.
And for couples looking to winter for inspiration in their wedding vows…
And if you are planning on lots of DIY touches, head over to our sister company Fanfare Celebration Supplies for all your winter wonderland wedding paraphernalia. Everything from paper snowflakes to napkins and crystals.
And here are just a few of our favourite venues that are simply stunning in winter. Some of them still have availability for 2018 winter weddings, so head on over and take your pick.

Philosophy is a beautiful subject. Just the word alone and its Greek meaning say's it all (philos = beloved and sophia = wisdom), "the love of wisdom". Philosophy touches on all the major topics from the elemental to the divine. We owe a lot to philosophy and all the wise in heart intellects that championed the cause through systematic rationale and reasoning wit.

The Study Of The Mind
It was said that the Greeks studied the soul and that's where we got the name Psychology. Psyche meaning soul and logos meaning word. It is obvious to note that the Greek language had many variations of one word and its meaning so you may come across other meanings of the word Psyche and Logos when referencing the words in Greek.
