They wrote Christmas letters to Santa today, so I am glad she did not miss it. We decorated the Christmas tree for FHE tonight.

The hardest thing when you are trying to get healthier or diet is to maintain healthy eating habits when eating at a restaurant. In many cases, individuals that are trying to diet or eat healthier will think that they simply cannot go to a restaurant or will just accept that a trip to a restaurant will derail their progress for that day, but this doesn't have to be the case. Listed below are two ways to maintain healthy eating habits when eating at a restaurant.
Portion Control
One of the best parts about eating out a restaurant for most people is the size of the portions that many restaurants will provide. While the large portions are fantastic from a value standpoint, they can ruin any diet or healthy eating habits that you are trying to maintain.
The easiest way to control your portion sizes is to reduce the amount of food that is delivered to the table so that you are not tempted to gorge yourself and clean the plate. One way to do this is to ask your server if it would be possible to have your meal divided in half and only have half of it delivered to the table while the rest of your meal is boxed up for you to take home and eat later. Another way to cut down on your portions is to see if any of your dining companions would be interested in splitting a main course.
One of the biggest things that can very quickly cause your diet to be a lost cause when eating at a restaurant is your choice in beverages. While your beverage may not seem like it would be a big danger to your diet and healthy eating habits, many of the beverage options offered at a restaurant will either be packed with calories or have a massive amount of sugar in them. Two of the beverage types that you will want to avoid if at all possible at a restaurant are soft drinks and alcoholic drinks.
However, avoiding high-calorie or sugary drinks does not mean that you have to confine yourself to water. Unsweetened green tea or skim milk can provide a flavorful addition to your meal without doing damage to your diet plan or eating habits.
Maintaining a diet or healthy eating habits can often be very difficult when eating at a restaurant, but it doesn't have to be. Practicing portion control and making sure that you avoid sugary and calorie-rich beverages can let you enjoy a night eating out without having to worry about the impact that it has on your diet. Try here for your next meal out.Share

About 10 years ago now, I was cooking with my mom when the worst happened. I was using the stove and the flames jumped into the pan, sparking a serious grease fire that I didn't know how to control. Fortunately, my mother thought quickly and extinguished the flames with a box of baking soda. This blog is all about avoiding dangers in the kitchen and knowing how to prevent problems before they arise. Your kitchen is an inherently dangerous place, but by knowing how to prevent issues, you might be able to save your home or save your family from very real problems.

Based on an Israeli series called Prisoners of War it had an amazing opening hook with an American soldier (Damien Lewis) coming back from being captured by al-Qaeda to a heroes welcome in the USA. Only a bi-polar analyst (Claire Danes) believes that he might have been turned by the enemy.
That was plenty of fodder to begin with but the show has gone off the rails a bit since then, losing the clear focus which it had at the beginning. Still Showtime has faith in the production, recently renewing it up for seasons six, seven and eight to bring it up to at least 2019.
Now Deadline reports that we might be seeing the end of the story. They were chatting to showrunner Alex Gansa at the 2016 Emmy's (where it didn't win any of the three nominated categories) and said that he planned to wrap things up by the end of season eight.
It's far from definitive at this point, with only Gansa suggesting he's done with the project then. Showtime might decide to continue, or maybe even pursue the story in an entirely different direction. To our minds, eight seasons will probably be more than enough.

Keywords: Arkansas, Sanctions, Unlicensed, MSRs
For years, state regulators have been considering whether the law that licenses residential mortgage loan servicers should be applied to entities that acquire and hold mortgage loan servicing rights ("MSRs"). As states enacted new laws to license mortgage loan servicers, one of the first questions we asked of regulators is whether the licensing obligation is applied to those who only hold the servicing rights for the mortgage loans. (For instance, Oregon's new Mortgage Loan Servicer Practices Act, effective January 1, 2018, will require a license by those who hold mortgage loans servicing rights under certain conditions.) While states continue in that direction, they have not been quick to take action against companies that acquire and hold mortgage servicing rights without a license.
However, Arkansas recently joined California as a state prepared to sanction companies that acquire and hold MSRs without a license. On November 2, 2017, the Arkansas Securities Department, which administers the Arkansas Fair Mortgage Lending Act ("FMLA"), entered into a consent order with Aurora Financial Group, Inc. (the "Company"). The Department had concluded that Aurora was "operating as an unlicensed mortgage servicer in Arkansas by holding master servicing rights on 169 residential mortgage loans in Arkansas." We understand this is the Department's first such action. The fine was small, only $5,000, and the Company did not need to divest itself of its servicing rights, which may be because the Company self-reported its error. The Department required the Company to apply for a license under the FMLA and maintain its license until such time as it no longer conducts mortgage servicing activities under the FMLA.
Arkansas has licensed those who only hold MSRs without actually servicing mortgage loans since August 2013. At that time, amendments to the Arkansas FMLA became effective that changed the definition of "mortgage servicer" to mean a person that receives, or has the right to receive, from or on behalf of a borrower: (A) funds or credits in payments for a mortgage loan; or (B) the taxes or insurance associated with a mortgage loan. From our conversations with Arkansas regulators, we understand they apply the mortgage servicer licensing obligation to those that acquire and hold mortgage loans with the servicing rights, as well as those that only hold mortgage servicing rights.
Over 20 states now license entities that hold MSRs. The definition of a mortgage servicer under the Arkansas FMLA as a person that has the right to receive funds for a mortgage loan is a key component of the definition in some other states. However, other definitional language could impose a licensing obligation for holding mortgage loan servicing rights. For instance, in a few states (such as New Hampshire), the licensing obligation expressly applies to a person that holds mortgage servicing rights. Other states (such as Connecticut) define a mortgage loan servicer as a person that indirectly services a mortgage loan, and apply that definition and licensing obligation to a person that merely holds servicing rights. Then there is the California Department of Business Oversight, which has applied the licensing obligations of the California Residential Mortgage Lending Act ("RMLA") to persons that only hold mortgage loan servicing rights, even though the RMLA defines "servicing" on the basis of receiving payments and performing services related to the receipt of those payments on behalf of the note holder.
It is unclear if the Arkansas action, and similar actions by California, signal that a long overlooked licensing obligation under the laws of many states may be coming into focus for enforcement actions. It is clear, though, that more states are moving to license entities that merely hold MSRs.

While a lot of fans are still ogling the newest Marvel superhero to land on Netflix in Mike Colter's "Luke Cage" after binge watching it, some, on the other hand, want to do a reset and revisit the show that started it all in "Daredevil." The Charlie Cox starrer still has a long way to go before returning, with "The Defenders" still looming, but that does not mean that conversations about the lawyer by day, hero by night are also getting shoved to the sidelines.
Being deeply tied to the now growing Marvel TV Universe via the streaming platform, given the two seasons under its belt, "Daredevil" left a couple of questions hanging in its latest season finale. Most prominent in the pool is that of Matt Murdock dropping the bomb on Karen, played by Deborah Ann Woll, regarding his Hell's Kitchen alter ego. Obviously, the narrative can go both ways moving forward in regard to the budding romance between the blind superhero and the enigmatic lady. So when the actress was interviewed by Seat42F, the media outlet asked whether she thinks fans should invest their feelings in her character and Matt's love story in the confirmed third year of the series
"I love the romantic plot between Matt and Karen. But I think what's interesting is that we're learning about who they are separately, first," she said. "That we tried getting them together in that second season, but it was never going to work because they were hiding half of who they were from each other. So now Matt's revealed, who he is but Karen revealed who she is yet. So that's really going to be her move, because when does she decide to tell Matt that she represents everything he hates? So I think their relationship, whether it continues to be romantic or not, is going to be a fascinating one to live with."
Those who are pining for the two to eventually dive into a full-fledged romance should not be wary, at least thus far. Karen has been the longest the love interest for Matt in the pages of the comic books and it might be kind of a let-down to cut their romance short right away.
However, before Matt can return to his own little pocket in Hell's Kitchen, he will come across some other crime-fighting people including Luke Cage, Krysten Ritter's Jessica Jones and the soon to be debuted Iron Fist played by Finn Jones. Together, a cumulative team called the Defenders will come to Netflix by 2017.
Since "Iron Fist" was announced to have an availability date of March 17, and given that Marvel strictly adheres to a six-month period for their web shows, "The Defenders" can be expected by September of next year. Presumably, six months after that would be the return of "Daredevil" for its third season.

Waking up to our own reality, our own mortality, our own limitations – call it whatever label works for you. Or don't label it. Simplifying something complicated with a catchy label doesn't de-complicate it – doing that serves only to take it off the table. For instance, mid-life crisis. Something so quickly tossed off as a quip more than a discussion illuminates nothing.
As perverse as one word descriptions: success, failure.
Or 'not living up to his/her potential'.
Do these labels inform any discussion?
I don't have something better to offer – just a caution, every time we have a simple label for someone or their behavior/experience, we know little or nothing at all. If we dig, if we care to dig – if we explore, true gems of knowledge are likely buried.
Some near the surface.
Most, very deeply.

Brad Pettit, Senior Attorney, National Legal Research Group
Corporate and tax law attorneys frequently are asked to assist clients who have formed or want to create an organization that will serve the public good. Section 501 of the Internal Revenue Code recognizes the desirability of such organizations by according tax-exempt status to "[c]orporations, and any community chest, fund, or foundation" that is "organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, scientific, testing for public safety, literary, or educational purposes, or to foster national or international amateur sports competition . . . , or for the prevention of cruelty to children or animals." I.R.C. § 501(c)(3) (emphasis added). The Treasury Regulations further indicate that in order to be exempt from taxation under § 501(c)(3), an organization must be both "organized and operated exclusively for one or more of the purposes specified in such section." Treas. Reg. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(a)(1). According to the Regulations, "[i]f an organization fails to meet either the organizational test or the operational test, it is not exempt [from taxation]." Id.
A. Organizational Test
The Treasury Regulations provide that an organization is organized exclusively for one or more exempt purposes only if its articles of organization (1) limit the purposes of the organization to one or more exempt purposes, and (2) do not expressly empower the organization to engage, other than as an insubstantial part of its activities, in activities which in themselves are not in furtherance of one or more exempt purposes. Treas. Reg. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(b)(1)(i). The Regulations go on to caution that
An organization is not organized exclusively for one or more exempt purposes if its articles expressly empower it to carry on, otherwise than as an insubstantial part of its activities, activities which are not in furtherance of one or more exempt purposes, even though such organization is, by the terms of such articles, created for a purpose that is no broader than the purposes specified in section 501(c)(3).
Id. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(b)(1)(iii). As part of an organization's application to the IRS for tax-exempt status, it must submit a detailed statement of its proposed activities. Id. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(b)(1)(v).
B. Operational Test
The Regulations state that "[a]n organization will be regarded as operated exclusively for one or more exempt purposes only if it engages primarily in activities which accomplish one or more of such exempt purposes specified in section 501(c)(3)." Treas. Reg. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(c)(1). In addition, the Regulations say that "[a]n organization will not be so regarded if more than an insubstantial part of its activities is not in furtherance of an exempt purpose." Id. The Regulations warn that "[a]n organization is not operated exclusively for one or more exempt purposes if its net earnings inure in whole or in part to the benefit of private shareholders or individuals." Id. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(c)(2). Furthermore, "[a]n organization is not operated exclusively for one or more exempt purposes if it is an action organization." Id. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(c)(3)(i) (emphasis added). An organization is an "action organization" if (1) a substantial part of its activities is attempting to influence legislation by propaganda or otherwise; or (2) it participates or intervenes, directly or indirectly, in any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for public office; or (3) it has the following two characteristics: (a) its main or primary objective or objectives may be attained only by legislation or a defeat of proposed legislation; and (b) it advocates, or campaigns for, the attainment of such main or primary objective or objectives as distinguished from engaging in nonpartisan analysis, study, or research and making the results thereof available to the public. Id. § 1.501(c)(3)-1(c)(3)(ii)B(iv).
C. Political Activities By § 501(c)(3) Organizations
Since we are in the middle of an election year in which the U.S. presidency, all seats in the U.S. House of Representatives, numerous U.S. Senate seats, and many key state and local political offices are being contested, special attention is being paid to the above-described Regulations that prohibit certain political activities on the part of aspiring or existing organizations that hold or hope to acquire tax-exempt status under § 501(c)(3). It has been held that an exemption from taxation under § 501(c)(3) is lost by virtue of participation by an otherwise tax-exempt organization in any political campaign on behalf of any candidate for public office, regardless of whether or not such campaigning constitutes a substantial part of the organization's activities. United States v. Dykema, 666 F.2d 1096 (7th Cir. 1981), cert. denied, 456 U.S. 983, reh'g denied, 458 U.S. 1132 (1982). However, a tax-exempt organization is not engaged in prohibited legislative activity if, at the request of a legislative committee, a representative of the organization testifies as an expert witness as to pending legislation that might affect the entity. Rev. Rul. 70‑449, 1970‑2 C.B. 111.
In a case involving a charitable organization's involvement in political activities, the IRS ruled that the organization's fund-raising letters, which purportedly sought support for its voter education and registration program, actually violated the statutory prohibition against intervention in a political campaign. I.R.S. Tech. Adv. Mem. ("TAM") 96-09-007 (Mar. 1, 1996). According to the IRS in TAM 96-09-007, the charity's letters coincided with election periods, and certain catchwords and commentary used therein revealed bias for and against certain candidates, notwithstanding a statement to the effect that the charity's efforts were nonpartisan. In reaching its decision, the IRS noted that the charity's goal of attracting the interest and financial support of the recipients of the letters was irrelevant. Furthermore, the IRS pointed out that even though the charity's intervention into the political arena may have been an insubstantial part of its overall activities, its actions were prohibited under § 501(c)(3).
In a case involving an organization that supported the adoption of a flat tax, a federal appellate court held that the entity was a prohibited "action organization" under Treasury Regulation § 1.501(c)(3)-1(c)(3) because, during an election year, the entity tried to sell its view on the flat-tax issue to Congress, the President, and the public. Fund for the Study of Econ. Growth & Tax Reform v. IRS, 161 F.3d 755 (D.C. Cir. 1998).
On the other hand, there are creative ways in which an organization can preserve its tax-exempt status under § 501(c)(3) and still, at least indirectly, engage in otherwise prohibited political activities. For example, a federal appellate court once ruled that a church can carry on political campaigning without losing its tax-exempt status by separately incorporating a nonprofit entity that, in turn, forms a political action committee ("PAC"). Branch Ministries v. Rossotti, 211 F.3d 137 (D.C. Cir. 2000). However, according to the Branch Ministries court, the catch is that a tax-exempt church that forms a PAC cannot use its tax‑free dollars to fund the PAC. Id. at 143. Furthermore, the tax-exempt church must maintain records that demonstrate that tax‑deductible contributions to the church are not being used for political activities. Id. at 144.
In a very recent administrative decision, the IRS ruled that a nonprofit health-care organization would not jeopardize its tax-exempt status under § 501(c)(3) by creating and operating a PAC that qualifies as a § 501(c)(4) "social welfare organization." I.R.S. Priv. Ltr. Rul. ("PLR") 2011-27-013 (July 8, 2011). In rendering its decision in PLR 2011-27-013, the IRS ruled that the health-care organization would not be violating the prohibition under § 1.1501(c)(3)‑1(3)(c) against participating or intervening in a political campaign. The IRS noted that the PAC, which was to be created merely as an incidental part of the activities of the § 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, would be operated independently of the § 501(c)(3) health-care organization and that it would administer its own affairs separately.
In another twist to its ruling in PLR 2011-27-013, the IRS determined that the prohibition against political activity by a § 501(c)(3) organization would not prevent the health-care organization from establishing and maintaining a voluntary payroll deduction plan that would enable its individual employees to make contributions to any I.R.C. § 527 political organization. The IRS reasoned that the prohibition against political activity applies only to § 501(c)(3) organizations and not to individuals who act independently in deciding whether to make contributions to § 527 political organizations.
It is also important to note that the prohibition against political activity by a § 501(c)(3) organization is a two-way street. Should political influences be found to have played a role in the IRS's consideration of an application to be exempted from federal income tax as a charitable or educational organization, the Service's ruling on the application will be deemed to be null and void. Ctr. on Corp. Responsibility, Inc. v. Shultz, 368 F. Supp. 863 (D.D.C. 1973).For further guidance in this area, it should be pointed out that in 2007, the IRS published 21 hypothetical scenarios in order to provide guidance as to what constitutes permissible versus impermissible involvement in a political activity by an organization that is or wants to be exempt from taxation under § 501(c)(3). See Rev. Rul. 2007‑41, 2007‑1 C.B. 1421.

BWW Review: KNUFFLE BUNNY Spins a Great Tale at Adventure Theatre MTC
Every child has that one stuffed animal that they can't live without. Every parent knows the dilemma of what happens when the toy goes missing and the tantrum that follows. In the opening of Adventure Theatre - MTC's 65th season, Knuffle Bunny: A Cautionary Musical perfectly describes every parent's worst nightmare: the missing beloved toy.
Based on Mo Willems series of books, the musical by Willems and composer Michael Silversher, the tune-filled adventure is beautifully crafted by director Nick Olcott. Mr. Olcott's spirited direction keeps the action moving and transitions seamlessly through Douglas Clarke's "Sesame Street" inspired set. In addition to the clever set, prop and puppet designer, Andrea "Dre" Moore brings her usual perfection to the other visual elements, including a cameo from Pigeon, another popular book by Mo Willems.
The five person cast works extremely well together. At the center of the story, toddler, Trixie, who hasn't quite mastered words yet is embodied by the very talented Suzanne Lane. Ms. Lane shines on Trixie's sorrowful lament as she tries to convey her loss for beloved Knuffle Bunny, without being able to verbalize it. Scott Harrison as dad has a great tenor voice and plays the young millennial parent with great energy, particularly when trying to save Knuffle Bunny. Emily Zickler, as mom is also wonderfully cast and has a gorgeous voice, which particularly shines in the opening number. Rounding out the cast are John Sygar and Simone Lewis, who act as ensemble, puppeteers, and laundry in a fun number.
While Knuffle Bunny is geared towards the kids in the audience, playwright Willems gives a few jokes that will keep the parents laughing. Besides opening ATMTC's 65th season, this also marks artistic director Michael Bobbitt 10th anniversary and in these past 10 years, Bobbitt has brought in some of the best talent in the area and hopefully will keep it up for years to come.
Knuffle Bunny plays through October 23, 2016 at Adventure Theatre MTC in Glen Echo Park, 7300 MacArthur Boulevard, Glen Echo, MD 20812.
Box Office: (301) 634-2270 or online. Note: It is recommended to call the box office to purchase tickets due to a database conversion.

I'm often asked what I do to keep in shape. I jog quite a bit but the elliptical has sort of become my new obsession.
The younger me was more into team sports. I was an avid netball player and played for the Cayman Islands national team as a teenager and adult (I've played as recently as last July (on home turf in a tri-series against Canada). However, in the last five years or so I've gained a liking for solo sporting activities like the gym and jogging outdoors. With my hectic work schedule I find it more convenient to work out on my own because I can't be as committed with group activities. At this stage in my career my job comes first so sporting activities are secondary. Of course, maintaining good health and fitness levels are very important to me so in no way would I jeopardise my health for a paycheck. Working out solo provides a better opportunity to stay fit without letting down anyone (except maybe myself occasionally, and I know I can handle it).
Since moving to Hong Kong I haven't jogged outdoors because frankly I don't know the running/jogging paths in my area. So I workout at one of the multitude of gyms on offer in HK. To help pass the time I often listen to music or catch up on my favourite Netflix shows or watch YouTube. When I do listen to music it is highly likely that the below 15 songs are on high rotation. Several of the songs are not new but they still know how to move me. I am a practicing Christian so I will always listen to something wholesome. Not everyone will like or agree with my list but this is what I like.

One of the benefits to moving, is having an entire new state's worth of new trails and campgrounds to explore. After Billy finished his first week at his new store he ended up with Sunday and Monday off, so we decided to escape the humidity of Chattanooga and travel up to South Cumberland State Park to camp for a couple of nights at Foster Falls Campground.
I chose Foster Falls due in part due its proximity to Chattanooga, in part for its elevation (at over 1700 feet I knew the temperatures would be better than they were at home), and in part because it was in a book my mom had on Tennessee camping. Like most campgrounds now, you have to reserve your site in advance, though I did call ahead and found out that you can at least get there and drive through, then choose a site and reserve it on your phone (if you get cell signal), provided the dates you want are all available. Unfortunately there is a $5 reservation fee attached to your first night that is unavoidable, so be prepared to add that to your budget.
The campground itself was…underwhelming. I wanted to like it. The sites are very spacious, and very flat; some have gravel tent pads while others are mostly dirt, but I don't think I saw a single site that would not fit our 6 person tent. My mom ended up able to join us, and we could fit two 6 person tents at our site (site 8), while still keeping both of them away from grass or saplings. There was also plenty of firewood; bundles are available for purchase in town about 5 miles from the campground, and there were plenty of logs from felled trees laying around. The scenery was also quite lovely. As is common in looped campgrounds, the middle sites are more open and grassy, while the sites on the outer side of the loop are wooded and often separated from each other by underbrush. We were on the western side of the loop, and both nights we had the most beautiful golden light streaming in through the trees directly onto our site. The picnic tables are large and are on concrete blocks, and the fire rings are large but shallow, making it easy to cook over a campfire.
I had three complaints, however, which made it hard for me to say this is a place we are likely to come back to, except as a base if we ever want to hike the Fiery Gizzard Trail. The first two are noise related–a rooster lives near the campground, who crowed. And crowed. And kept crowing. He started sometime in the pre-dawn hours and kept going for most of the day. If you've never been around roosters this might sound like a cool experience, but if you have, you know how annoying they actually are. This is no fault of the campground, and became a joke by the end, but if you have little ones who are easily distracted or light sleepers, it could definitely be an issue. The second issue, is how loud the sound of traffic was. While the campground is not super remote, it's far enough from the interstate that traffic seemed an unlikely disturbance–but it's right off of US-41, and apparently there are more heavy vehicles on that road at night that we predicted.
My last complaint though is the biggest, and that was the overall cleanliness of the campground. I had read in advance that the bathroom was home to a lot of creepy-crawlies, which didn't deter me. It's camping, it's the woods, I expect to see spiders and bugs in the bathhouses. What stuck out to me was how much human trash was everywhere. The place had obviously been highly occupied over the weekend, and it was evident in the amount of beer cans, paper towels, and bits of plastic strewn into every site we walked past. On Monday, we walked past a site near the bathrooms that had been occupied Sunday night–and they had left their fire ring FULL of paper towels and banana peels. I reported it to a ranger (leaving the trash there as evidence), and I went to see if he had actually cleaned up, and he had only taken the paper, but not the banana peels. He also said, when I was reporting the trash, that there was no record of people in that site the previous night so they had camped illegally.
A park vehicle drove past AT LEAST twice from when those people arrived, and when they departed the next day. So to say there is minimal ranger presence here is an understatement. And while that is not always a bad thing, for such an accessible campground that draws in a lot of people who obviously are not following LNT principals, it creates a place that is not only unfair to other campers, but disrespectful and downright dangerous to the overall environment.
All that said–the hike down to Foster Falls was amazing. It's a steep half mile descent to a swimming hole at the bottom of the 60′ waterfall. We did our hike early in the day so it was still a little chilly for swimming, but it meant we had the place to ourselves, and it was…it was magical. It was everything I love about hiking, camping, and spending time outdoors. There's a feeling of insignificance you get when standing on a mountain peak, or, in this case, in a gulf at the bottom of a towering waterfall, that reminds you of just how strong our planet is, and just how huge our world is. It makes human problems feel manageable. Hiking with kids does not always take me to places where I get that sensation (or if it does, it's overtaken by the constant not so close to the edge! admonitions), but even the kids seemed to understand the scope of where we were, and how awe-inspiring it was. There's a viewpoint at the top of the falls, but it's nothing compared to looking up at 180 degrees of sheer cliff face, and the sound of pounding water drowning out all the noise in your own head.
Overall family-friendly rating: 3.5/5. I want to give this a higher rating. It was so pretty, and we really did have an amazing time while we were there, but the trash–and the noise–makes it hard for me to be too positive. Very young children may find it hard to settle and go to sleep, and we found a lot of broken glass. If you want to combine your trip with a hike down the falls this would be a good place to stay (provided you get there early–as the day grew a lot of young adults journeyed to the falls–we even saw one person reckless enough to JUMP OFF THE TOP OF THE FALLS–which is a crowd that I would be hesitant to have my children around). However, if you are just looking for a quiet place to camp, this doesn't entirely fit the bill.

Ganesh Naik all set to contest Assembly Elections 2019
#GaneshNaik #Belapur #AssemblyElections2019
As the election code of conduct comes into effect, the political tempers and speculations have picked up speed all over Maharashtra. Even as there are media reports that it isn't going all smooth in the talks between BJP and Shiv Sena for an alliance, political pundits believe come what may, an alliance is bound to happen between both. Like in many constituencies across the state, the political movement in Belapur constituency too is being closely followed. Navi Mumbai strongman Ganesh Naik's entry in BJP has changed political equations completely. There are talks that sitting MLA Manda Mhatre might be asked to make way for Ganesh Naik while another section argues that since BJP has taken Airoli constituency from Shiv Sena to make way for Sandeep Naik's BJP candidature, Shiv Sena will stake claim in Belapur. In Belapur, Vijay Nahata is eyeing candidature for the assembly polls. The speculations fired up recently when Yuva Sena President Aditya Thackeray staked claim for Belapur constituency. He had said he would come for Shiv Sena's election and victory rally to Belapur.
Aditya Thackeray's statements led to hushed up questions on former Minister Ganesh Naik's prospects of contesting from Belapur or contesting the assembly polls at all. Now Ganesh Naik has brought these speculations to rest as he confirmed to NMTV that he will contest the polls. Ganesh Naik said that he has won as MLA from Belapur constituency that has been divided to six assembly constituencies. So he can contest form any one of these 6.
He went on to add that as the Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had said during his induction ceremony, Ganesh Naik will play a bigger role in development and progress of not just Navi Mumbai but the region as well.
On a question that he was however seen extensively campaigning in Belapur, Ganesh Naik said that wherever he is going he has appealed to people to stand by him from whichever constituency he will contest.
Going by Ganesh Naik's words, he then could be the BJP candidate from Kalwa Mumbra, Ova Majiwada, Mira Bhayander, Belapur or Kopri Pachpakdi.
For those detractors and rivals of Ganesh Naik who thought that the Shiv Sena BJP alliance pact could move him out of the assembly elections race that is not happening. On the contrary, going by Ganesh Naik's statement on contesting assembly elections, not only is team Ganesh Naik already working on his campaign in full swing but are also gearing up for seeing Ganesh Naik in a plum cabinet position, post the polls. #ZebaWarsia – NMTV News.

How far was Truman personally responsible for the development of the Cold War?
Extracts from this document...
How far was Truman personally responsible for the development of the Cold War in Europe to 1949? The Nazi-Soviet Pact of 1939 and Potsdam of 1945 had left the Soviets looking less than trustworthy in the eyes of the Americans. However, the East was not solely to blame. Leading up to 1949, many events seemed to impair Truman's public image. The Iron Curtain Speech in 1946 was the first open attack on communism. From here, the West had two reasons to continue an attack. Firstly, their expectations of a counter attack from Eastern Europe, especially since the atomic bomb had been showcased for all to see (and steal) in 1945. Secondly, after an open attack, they had to follow up with evidence, and subsequently prepare themselves for the worst case scenario. Now that growing communism posed a threat to vital US interests, Truman was struck with the prospect of the US standing alone against a hostile world. Since the new Republican Congress seemed determined to stand by their policy of isolationism, Truman argued that this would be giving ammunition to communist propaganda and appeasing the opposition would be repeating the conditions of the 1930s. He also claimed that failure to defend Greece and Turkey from this threat could lead other countries 'to fall like apples in a barrel infected by one rotten one'. ...read more.
Stalin hoped that this way he could isolate a position of strength to negotiate from and simultaneously change West Germans opinion about the extent of the US's will and ability to aid them. However, Truman did not back down. Adopting the British idea of an airlift, 2.3 million tons of goods to feed and provide Berlin were flown in from June 1948 to May 1949 when Stalin finally backed down. By this time Stalin realised his plan had backfired, bringing about the very things he sought to avert. West German opinion had consolidated against him. The creation of NATO in April 1949 was a continuation of the Truman Doctrine, serving to ensure a stable, strong democracy in Europe. In conjunction with NATO other structures were born based on the experience of the Marshall Plan and, with US encouragement, the process of Europe's assimilation began. It was amidst these political conditions that a West German state was founded in May 1949. If the Cold War did not begin before the Truman Doctrine, it is likely the events after it were highly significant in causing friction or triggering an actual start. Traditional historians are of the view that the imposition of aggressive Soviet expansionism on an unwilling Eastern Europe catapulted the balance of power into a Cold war. Revisionist historians argue that the Cold war was an inevitable result of conflicting American and Russian interests, that US policy of containment as expressed in the Truman Doctrine was at least equally responsible, if not more so, than Soviet seizure of Poland and other states. ...read more.
After all, the USSR was equally deserving of aid because of their joint effort and losses in World War II. Nevertheless, it was a counteract-balance situation where if the West pushed, the USSR would counter. In addition to this, misperceptions were a feature of Cold War reasoning, and both sides underestimated the others' genuine apprehension. In conclusion, I feel that there have been many incidences that could have sparked off a war at any time, but the point is it did not. At this time, it wasn't a Cold War as such, but more tension, and build up of future events to come. Each side expected a level of muscle flexing. At any time, threat of termination was countered with a defensive act that would ultimately lead back to the equilibrium that suited them both. However, I feel that it wasn't until the development of the atomic bomb by the Russians in 1949 that lead to the beginnings of the Cold War. America no longer had the upper hand, and fear of 'meeting their match' may have been a short term cause for the declaration of the NSC-68, which took a more aggressive view on communism. It looked to 'roll-back' communism, 'enforcing' that they were successful. This in my opinion, is the beginning of the Cold War, and it was the Truman Doctrine (as well as other key events) that simply speeded up the arrival of the conflict in the 1940s. ...read more.

Momofuku founder David Chang is set to reveal "Fuku" to the world, a hopeful fast food endeavor with high quality ingredients and affordable prices.
Catering to "normavores" (people who want to eat normal food), the restaurant's signature dish will be the spicy fried chicken sandwich, a far cry from the more exotic dishes Chang has helmed in the past. Though it's not organic cold-pressed juice, the sandwiches still seem healthier than typical fast-food fair considering the chicken is not pink slime, but sustainably-raised from a small network of farms. With a focus on takeout and eventually delivery, Fuku seems poised to become a big contender on the national fast food scene.
While Chang hasn't gone on the record as saying anything openly hostile towards Chick-Fil-A, "Fuku" is a clear competitor that's sure to attract people hungry for higher quality food at cheap prices without the not-so-subtle homophobia attached.
Of course, no one seems to be talking about the fact that slicing the name Momofuku to "Fuku" could clearly be mispronounced as "fuck you", especially to folks in Middle America. Do you think that will stand in its way from becoming a robust fast-food brand?

It is widely known that reasonable numbers of start-ups and small businesses close their operations every year. In fact, approximately 50 percent of new businesses close within the first five years. They find it quite tough to sustain and survive in the competitive sector and struggle to bring return customers toward their doors. Digital marketing is one of the most effective and economical ways to reach customers or audiences. Unfortunately, mastering the art of digital marketing can take years of studying and thousands of dollars in education cost. Hiring a specialist to support your business in capitalizing on digital advertising is typically a good investment, if you are keen in ensuring that you make the right hire. Your digital marketing experts should have technical experience and knowledge to make use of digital platforms in the best manner that will turn the targeted audiences to prospective customers. Businesses and start-ups can make use of many online tools and even a formal digital marketing skill test to assess the skills a digital marketer should have to help the business survive.
The essential skills every digital marketer should have includes:
- Video Marketing
- Content marketing
- Data Analytics
- Design based thinking and planning
- Knowledge of SEO and SEM
- Analytical thinking
- Knowledge of different technologies
- Extra skills
Video marketing
Did you know that well designed and optimized video increase the search engine position by at least 50 percent? Trailing only Google, YouTube is the second largest search engine in the world. Videos have taken the internet by storm and have the potential to capture customer attention and trigger actions. Recent reports and research state that 80 percent of the customers are more likely to buy a product after watching a detailed video. Videos have higher SEO ranking, engagement and conversion rates when compared with other forms of media.
Digital marketing experts should have knowledge on everything related to video production. They should possess the skills to develop quick intro videos that can capture the attention of potential customers.
Content marketing
Content can make or break businesses. Search engines have become smarter than ever before and give priority to websites with high-quality content. There is no doubt that content marketing will continue to be a game-changer in the digital world. Digital marketing teams should not only know how to develop SEO rich content but also develop content that facilitates audience engagement. Content can be delivered in various forms, including video, social media posts, web blog content, email, e-books, whitepapers, and press releases.
Data Analytics
It is important for businesses to know demographic data in advance about their potential customers. The digital marketing team should have knowledge of data analytics tools like Google Analytics. These tools help them make use of the gathered data and information to learn about consumer behaviour and apply this knowledge to developing new solutions that increase conversion rates. Data analytics skills help digital marketing experts understand the expectations of prospective future customers. This information is vital in building a strong customer base to make the future successful.
Design based thinking and planning

As long as Internet of Things remains a hot topic, there's no fault in foreseeing IoT security risks. Obviously, safety is one of the primary concerns for any IoT firm. But for addressing this issue well, one has to know the volume & depth of the subject.
The world of IoT is growing exponentially over time. Everywhere we can see its manifestations- from personal safety gadgets to sophisticated home subsystems and from electric toothbrushes to HVAC devices- that can be accessed & monitored remotely.
The Journal reported – "According to IT research firm International Data Corporation (IDC), IoT is expected to grow from $656 billion in 2014 to $1.7 trillion in 2020, representing a compound annual growth rate of nearly 17 percent."
It's impossible to deny "device security" related facts while covering principal security issue in IoT sector. No wonder why device vendors overlooked in this area; especially if they can release cheap devices compromising device safety or privacy.
Real Time Instances on IoT Vulnerabilities
The discussion is not meant to question pitfalls of the entire IoT Industry- but, in a situation where the vulnerabilities in the digital world are occupying space in our real world, these kinds of discussions often find its space.
Analyze these incidents –
- It was on the last year hackers, Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek demonstrated a jeep Cherokee can be hijacked– just with a notebook computer at home. And very recently, a cyber security expert from Troy hunt, using just a mobile application hacked a Nissan Leaf car and drained it's entire battery!
- Samsung had designed a "smart fridge" last year. It was synchronized with user's Google Calendar through Wi-Fi. This time, the issue came while validating SSL certificates. The result was -as you imagine, unencrypted Google credentials of the user.
- On October last year, security researchers from Rapid7 found vulnerabilities in 9 baby monitors. By their report, these monitors can easily take control by hackers and use for illicit activities.
Perhaps, you might heard about Shodan, the search engine for IoT devices. We can even see images and videos from non-encrypted webcams around the world through this.
We tested this on some webcamxp cams in Australia. The results were shocking!
Shodan reminds us why we need to focus more on IoT security.
Even though ignored in previous times, people have started thinking about the importance to increase IoT security. On the light of previous security breaches and device gap holes, crucial efforts are being taken in order to take them down.
Need for Standardization
The fact is the number of IoT-enabled devices to is never going to diminish. Based on this fact only, we can think about the need for standardized IoT security protocols. But, the problem of lack of mutuality arises when we really address this issue. We may find very little security agreement between those connected devices in many sectors- for example, thermostats or lighting sensors.
Off course, the demand for such protocols may grow as per the new developments in this sector. Collective efforts are expected from device vendors to achieve this.

The Transitional Constitution of Israel
30 Pages Posted: 27 May 2014
Date Written: May 24, 2014
In the two decades since Israel's constitutional revolution, the Basic Laws have gained normative supremacy over other laws and have legal efficacy. Yet, they have not assumed an integrative role in Israeli society. In terms of their substance, the Basic Laws are incomplete in scope. In terms of Procedure leading to their enactment, they lack public legitimacy, due to having been retroactively upgraded by the Israeli Supreme Court from regular laws to constitutional norms. This paper argues that the only "constitutional moment" in the history of Israel possessing the potential to achieve an integrative role was the Declaration of Independence. This founding document should have been perceived as a transitional constitution, which established Israel's basic values. Furthermore, in 1994 the historical missed opportunity could have been corrected when the Declaration was alluded to in the two Basic Laws, which constitute Israel's (partial) Bill of Rights. Unlike the Basic Laws, the Declaration suffers neither the substantive nor procedural problems identified, and possesses integrative potential.

The new Routemaster alone is evidence of Boris Johnson's folly
30 August, 2019
• NOW that the hot weather has returned, we have absolutely no excuse for harbouring any illusions about our new (though unelected) prime minister.
An example of his folly can be seen on our streets every day – the new Routemaster. It looks the part all right, like a good old traditional bus, but in action it is absolutely hopeless. And when the weather warms up, it should really not be on the road, it is so stiflingly hot.
In an interview earlier this summer, Boris Johnson revealed that he likes to relax by making models of buses. If only he confined himself to that!
As it is, my fear is that it is going to be harder to rid ourselves of those massively expensive vanity project mobile saunas than it's going to be to replace Johnson with a serious politician to be our prime minister.

There are many different types of roof cladding options available for your businesses needs, we are always here to help you find the right one for you. Most people don't give much attention to their roofs. However, as industrial roof cladding is our specialist subject, we luckily have all the information you need! And remember your roof is one of the most important parts of your building as it protects you from many things such as the ever changing climate outside – especially as we live in the UK. Roof cladding is a vital part of any commercial or industrial building. It is essential an extra layer on top of your roof which acts as a waterproof seal for the property. Roof cladding can come in a variety of different materials and here at Roofclad Systems we offer 4 types of cladding material. But, why is roof cladding so important? We are here to tell you exactly why…
Why is it so important to have roof cladding on a commercial roof?
Roof cladding is an integral part of any commercial property as it serves 3 major purposes. These are:
Installing roof cladding can provide insulation on your roof that can help to regulate the internal temperature of the building. Insulation can also provide an extra layer of soundproofing which can be beneficial if your industry creates a lot of noise that could cause disturbance to the surrounding area. Additionally, insulation from roof cladding also has the added bonus of providing a level of fire resistance to your building. This is dependable on the type of cladding you have, but Roofclad is able to advise you accordingly.
Weather Protection
Another great bonus of adding roof cladding to your building is that it can help to protect your building from the weather elements. Not only is roof cladding a waterproof layer that prevents moisture build-up in your roof's surface but it can also provide additional internal protection. Excess sun, rain, wind and sub-zero temperatures can play havoc with commercial roofing and problems can occur without the extra layer of roof cladding. Extreme weather can penetrate roofs, cause cut edge corrosion and generally deteriorate your roof. By installing roof cladding, you can save on roof maintenance and repair costs in the long-run and significantly increase the lifespan of the roof.
Aesthetical Quality
Not only is roof cladding practical – it's also aesthetically pleasing! The ideal thing about roof cladding is that it can be coated to match the existing aesthetic of your building! Therefore, roof cladding can also help increase the overall appeal of your building.
