First let's go back to August 2009, and look at what he said about the DOW back then in his paper "Will the DOW Reach 30,000 by 2015?" This is where he said, "The main resistance area is 11,000 on the DOW. We need a monthly closing above that level to signal that the March 2009 low will hold. Otherwise, we should expect a retest of the lows or still even perhaps new lows going into 31.4 months down from the October 2007 high with a rally into the next target 2015.75 reaching 30,000+."
The way I translate that is to mean that if we fail to produce a monthly close above 11k (we closed April at 11,008 – that was the peak and it has since failed – so I say resistance held), then we are likely to revisit the lows or break them, then hyperinflate into the year 2015. Okay, fine, I can buy that as a possibility and it does fit into my general thinking that we would experience another wave of deflation and that the reaction following would then likely produce inflation and that would eventually mandate a change in the structure of our money unless that change occurs first.
Now we have M3 collapsing, we are on the verge of countries defaulting (the same as wave C of the Great Depression), and we have a rush into the dollar and US debt instruments.
So, with that in the background, let's take a look at Martin's latest paper:
One of the areas that I disagree with Martin on is the importance of being on a gold standard then versus now. In fact, I believe that being on a gold standard had very little influence on the events and outcomes of the Great Depression. What was much more important was the fact that the Private Bankers had taken over control of the money creation power and despite a "gold standard" managed to produce one of the largest CREDIT bubbles in the history of man. Gold absolutely FAILED to keep the total quantity of money under control – the total being the amount of sovereign money (in this case backed by gold) versus the amount backed by debt (came into creation bearing interest as someone else's obligation).
I think a very important piece of the credit bubble puzzle now is rooted in accounting fraud. Martin is right about this point, THE MARKET KNOWS. It knows that our major financial institutions are INSOLVENT – they have marked to fantasy, they have played the shell game, they have transferred unserviceable debts onto the public rolls making them insolvent in return. Wave A down did NOT clear the DEBT, it is still there! The market knows!
Mark to fantasy accounting was one of the major contributors to the credit bubble. In 2007 FASB changed the rules back to mark-to-market. The reality hit the financials and drug the entire equity market down. Price to earnings shot to all time extreme highs because of this accounting (reality). Then, pressure mounted as the equities collapsed to reinstate mark-to-fantasy, it was reinstated and now price to earning fell right back down to a falsely marked level, yet even with accounting fraud P/E levels are still far above historic norms.
The market knows – this P/E reading is FALSE, it is marked to fantasy, the debt is still there.
It's no more complex than understanding that the growth of debt outstripped the growth of income. This is the underlying cause of the shift in CONFIDENCE that Martin and so many others discuss in the markets. Confidence allows people to take on leverage (debt) and it grows until there is an event that shifts people's confidence that the debt can be repaid, then markets correct. It is the underlying math that leads to angst and the lack of confidence. This is occurring now throughout the entire world, not just in the United States.
At this time ALL our money is CREDIT money. INTEREST is DEFLATIONARY! It is the attempt to create never ending growth to compensate for the deflationary pull of interest that creates stupidity like attempting to grow at 2% or more per year. It is this reaction to deflation that prompts other actions to create inflation! Those other actions include dumping Glass-Steagall, lowering reserve requirements so that the banks can fractionalize more money, allowing derivatives to create more leverage, allowing banks to mark derivatives to fantasy instead of to a real market price, etc. Those are the things that create inflation when your money is entirely comprised of DEBT.
If you don't believe that interest is deflationary, let's do a little mental experiment like I often do – isolate it, put it in a room, and then take it to one extreme and then the other… So, in this case we have 10 people in a room and each have $100 CREDIT dollars, or $1,000 dollars total in the room. They perform transactions between one another but because they are all in debt, they must pay interest to the bank that resides outside of the room – let's say 3% of the money is paid to the bank each period. At the beginning you had $1,000, and at the end of the first period there was only $970. The supply of money went down, that is deflation! Again, it is the attempt to counter this deflation that produces imbalances.
Now, Martin later says this, "There is NO direct ratio of money supply to the rate of inflation. It is simply a matter of CONFIDENCE." While it is true that it is not exactly direct, there is most definitely a correlation between the quantity of money and PRICE inflation. It is this correlation that enhances or destroys confidence.
This time in the room there are two people, a VERY bright and irritating light, and only one pair of sunglasses. If both people in the room possess only one dollar, then the MOST the glasses can be bought for is one dollar! However, if both people possess $100, then the glasses may be purchased for considerably more! It is the easy availability of money that gives them supposed confidence to pay more, and without the money it is mathematically impossible to pay more.
So, Martin goes onto say:
"In order to create a 1930's style depression the United States would have to adopt the very advice the IMF is telling Greece that failed in the 1930s and will destroy the nation politically.
…By insisting that there be a balanced budget, the IMF is supporting the bond holders at the expense of the people.
…The reason why I do not believe there will be a Great Depression is because it would"
His response is cut off, but he is saying there will not be a Great Depression. Well, no two depressions are the same, but the parallels between then and now are stunning, and the greatest difference between then and now is not the gold standard, it is that per capita debt levels are still much higher now than then, and the credit bubble is much more global now than then!
Austerity is not a choice once income cannot support debt, it is brought to you. The only way to change that is to either clear out the debt or to change the system (and clear out the debt).
INCOME to DEBT – this is the key. So, the government took private sector debt and made it public. The math is impossible, sovereign countries have no bankruptcy procedure, they can either default or print (if able). People are now realizing that countries cannot repay and thus confidence is being lost. Money can be created, but as long as incomes cannot service debts, then balance cannot be restored. The proof of this is in the amount of "money" now held at the banks, but yet they can't lend to consumers who are saturated with debt as their incomes cannot support even more. The same is now true for all western governments of the world. This is why we see the diminishing productivity of debt over time that has now entered a phase transition into less productivity for new debt entering the system, and it is why adding debt at this stage produces lower employment.
The psychology of wave C down is different than the psychology of wave A down. The government has attempted the bailouts, they failed because their actions were opposite those required to bring the math under control. That is what destroys confidence – and the cycle repeats, only this time is on a much higher order than the Great Depression of the 1930s.
If monetary change does not occur during this deflation wave and our reaction is to print without debt, then we will get hyperinflation later that will destroy any value remaining in our money as the quantity gets even further out of control. This could produce equity lower, then much higher. But for now, the total quantity of money is contracting.
The alternative to printing without debt is to print and use the money to directly pay down debt. That is an equity for debt swap, it can work to print money and keep the total quantity of credit and non-credit money under control. That would require many deliberate actions such as I've outlined in Freedom's Vision. In the mean time history may not be repeating, but it is certainly rhyming except on a more grand and global scale.
Europe has now seen the loss of confidence, the Euro is sliding even faster in reaction to their bail out. We now have Geithner talking up more stimulus while Europe and the IMF are talking austerity. The dollar is strengthening because global deleveraging is occurring and the holders of debt must scramble to get dollars in order to pay down debt. The United States for now is continuing to finance our debt, but that WILL change and Geithner/Bernanke will learn the same lesson learned by the Europeans. Confidence is destroyed when the math is so obviously out of whack, make the math even worse and at some point they too will encounter a phase transition in confidence – I believe we are setting up for that now.
The bottom line is that Martin brings up valid points, but not all of his points carry validity and neither do his conclusions that he often plays in both directions. Hey, I don't pretend to know the exact outcome, but I do know BS when I hear it. People who claim to know the exact outcome are immediately suspect and thus let's take what knowledge we can and move very cautiously into the future. I still think that history shows those "other" events are coming. Our governments and bankers are losing control and they will do extraordinary things to attempt to remain in control.
Martin is right that ultimately it is the people who will win the day – they always do. Unfortunately, history also shows that between here and there will be much more pain. While money and governments are a construct of man, we are slow to change and we repeat mistakes as the pendulum swings. Two steps forward, one step back.

Course Details
OSHA stands for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Labor. OSHA's responsibility is to improve worker safety and health protection. On December 29, 1970, President Richard Nixon signed the OSH Act. This Act created OSHA, the agency, which officially came into effect on April 28, 1971.
OSHA's mission is to assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance to employers and employees.
Since OSHA's requirements outline the importance of training, employers and employees are provided with two options when selecting the appropriate training.
OSHA 10 and 30-Hour Outreach Training Programs provides workers and employers with necessary skills on the recognition, avoidance, abatement, and prevention of safety and health hazards in workplaces. The program also provides information regarding workers rights, employer responsibilities, and how to file a complaint with OSHA.
Through these programs, workers can choose from the OSHA 10 and 30-hour training classes delivered by OSHA authorized trainers. Our OSHA 10-hour class is intended for entry level workers, while the 30-hour class is more appropriate for supervisors or workers with some safety responsibility.

Monterey Institute of International Studies (MIIS) Chooses OWL Testing Software for Language Assessment and Program Evaluation Expertise
MONTEREY, Calif. (Nov. 17, 2008) – For students studying the teaching of foreign languages at Monterey Institute of International Studies, there's more to their coursework than the standard grammar, linguistics, and pedagogical training. Emphasis at the Institute's renowned Graduate School of Language and Educational Linguistics expands beyond language expertise and teaching theory to include courses in language assessment.
A required Language Assessment course for students earning a Master of Arts in Teaching a Foreign Language (MATFL) or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (MATESOL) focuses on language test reliability, validity, test bias, and ethics. Students examine differences and similarities among placement, proficiency, achievement, aptitude, and performance testing; along with exploring alternative evaluation procedures. What's more, an elective Computer-Assisted Assessment course specifically examines ways in which computer technology can enhance the validity of assessments, as well as the delivery and scoring of assessments. The tests—which include oral, aural, reading, and writing assessments—are developed using a Web-based tool from Pittsburgh-based OWL Testing Software.
"We use OWL Testing Software because it's comprehensive, advanced, and flexible. It is user friendly, and the support we receive from the company is excellent." says Dr. Jean Turner, a professor at MIIS's GSLEL. Turner, who has a doctorate in applied linguistics, taught language at a variety of schools from 1976 to 1989 and has been teaching applied linguistics since.
"While many schools do a good job of preparing future language instructors, most do not place enough emphasis on the importance of assessments in the classroom. At MIIS, we want our students to understand what it means to create valid and defendable assessments and why this is such an important part of teaching."
OWL provides full functionality for the entire assessment cycle: authoring, scheduling, administering, rating, and reporting. Custom assessments are created using an intuitive online wizard and can include any number or combination of oral response, essays, cloze, completion, fill-in-the-blank, matching, multiple-choice, or short answer questions—incorporating text, graphics, audio, and video components.
In addition to measuring a student's oral proficiency, reading and listening comprehension, and comfort level communicating in the target language; the OWL test management system allows language instructors to establish baselines against which to measure their progress over time. What's more, the Web-based system may be used anywhere there's access to the Internet—providing flexibility across multiple offices or campuses, time zones, and even continents.
"OWL offers the only widely-available testing tool designed specifically for assessing all modes of communication through a single platform," says Chris Dalessandri, president and co-founder of OWL Testing Software. "We're very pleased to have the opportunity to showcase our cutting-edge assessment technology to the students at Monterey Institute of International Studies, who are some of the best and brightest language students from the United States and around the globe."
About Monterey Institute of International Studies
The Monterey Institute of International Studies, located in California, includes the Graduate School of International Policy Studies, the Graduate School of Translation and Interpretation, the Fisher Graduate School of International Business and the Graduate School of Language and Educational Linguistics, and enrolls some 780 students. The Institute also includes the internationally renowned James Martin Center for Nonproliferation Studies and Center for East Asian Studies. The Monterey Institute, which was founded in 1955, became an affiliate of Middlebury College in 2005. Additional information is available at www.miis.edu.
About OWL Testing Software
Founded in 1999, OWL Testing Software is a premier provider of affordable Web-based testing and assessment systems for academia, government, and business users. OWL's intuitive test management system simplifies the unique and complex challenges of second language acquisition—including ESL and EFL programs—and is easily applied to any subject matter in education or the workplace.

Venture capital investments in cybersecurity firms hit a record high last year amid a surge in cyber crime over the last few years.
Venture capital investments in cybersecurity firms hit a record high last year amid a surge in cyber crime over the last few years, according to a report released last week by U.S.-based Strategic Cyber Ventures.
Total venture capital funding in the space totaled $5.3 billion in 2018, a 20 percent increase from the $4.4 billion seen in 2017.
"We're seeing mega-breaches happening on an extremely frequent basis," Chris Ahern, data scientist and principal at Strategic Cyber Ventures told Reuters. "I don't think that is going to stop anytime soon. Any investors are seeing that as an opportunity for investment."
Cybersecurity has become the focus for governments and corporations around the world as digital crime increase. The latest quarterly data from cybersecurity firm ThreatMatrix showed that it detected 210 million attacks in the first quarter of last year, with another 151 million seen in the second quarter.
Compared with 2015, cyberattacks have surged more than 100 percent, illustrating an overall heightened risk landscape over the last two years.
U.S. cybersecurity firms took the majority of the investments, accounting for 46 percent of the investments in 2018. Asian and European companies took 22.6 percent of global investment, up 12.7 percent in 2014.
"We've seen this trend in the broader tech ecosystem as well, with many large international funds and investment outside of the U.S.," the report said. "Simply put, amazing and valuable technology companies are being created, in and outside of the U.S."

The 14 February 2006 meeting of Summerlea's UCW Serendipity Group was an open session at which
Lachine councillors Jane Cowell Poitras and Bernard Blanchet presented information about senior housing
now available and being built in Lachine. Jane pointed out that many Lachine seniors tend to look for
accommodation further west when they decide it's time to give up their house, so the Lachine council is
attempting to arrange for accommodation to be built in Lachine to meet this need.
Apparently the need exists, since some 75 people from Summerlea and the Lachine community attended the meeting, and asked lots of questions. The handouts that the councillors brought with them ran out, but more have been made available and are at the back of the sanctuary.
Following are some photos of the events. You can pick a small photo to see a larger version, then pick Back on your browser to return to this page.

After earning an away victory in Turkey last week, all PSV have to do is stop Trabzonspor from scoring midweek before they proceed to the next phase of the Europa League as Paddy Power make the Dutch side heavy odds on favourites to progress at the Phillips Stadium tonight.
The Dutch outfit hit their Turkish opposition early last week and were leading 2-0 before the clock had hit 12 minutes in the Hüseyin Avni Aker.
Trabzonspor did manage to pull a goal back on the 33rd minute through an Olcan Adin finish but a fairly unexciting second half meant the full time scoreline was the same as it was on halftime.
Paddy Power will offer a free £100/€100 bet to spend on any Europa League game tonight! Exclusive to SqueakyBumTime.com
PSV Eindhoven have done well to juggle the demands of a European competition with their duties in the Eredivisie, which they lead closely followed by AZ Alkmaar.
The Dutch top flight is far from won however and while winning the title will undoubtedly be a priority for Fred Rutten's side, Europa League progress is a tantalizing distraction and one they are likely to pay attention to.
PSV have lost only two matches in their last ten outings but go into this week's match after a 3-0 loss against FC Groningen, and will bring in youth team players Mephis Depay, Menno Koch and Imad Najah into the squad for tonight's game.
Rutten's side have moved into the knockout rounds with ease, finishing top of Europa League Group C and dropping only two points in the process.
Trabzonspor, on the other hand, haven't recorded a win for almost two weeks and face a difficult task in overturning their Dutch opposition on Thursday, especially when taking PSV's two away goals into account.
The side arrive in the competition having finished third in Champions League Group B behind Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow, and coach Senol Gunes knows they face an uphill battle.
The Turkish outfit will need to play an almost perfect game if they hope to progress to the European competition's Round of 16 but having toppled the likes of CSKA Moscow and Inter in recent seasons, an underdog win is a possibility.
A match against either Valencia or Stoke will await the winners.

"If the President thinks this project is good for America, he knows how to make it happen right away. Until he does, he's just standing in the way of getting it done."
Republicans blasted Obama for rejecting the cross-border permit in January. But the president blamed Republicans, insisting that the decision was not based on the merits of the project but instead on a 60-day, GOP-backed deadline included in a two-month extension of the payroll tax cut.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said earlier Monday that the Oklahoma-to-Texas segment of the pipeline "will help address the bottleneck of oil in Cushing that has resulted in large part from increased domestic oil production, currently at an eight year high."
"We look forward to working with TransCanada to ensure that it is built in a safe, responsible and timely manner, and we commit to take every step possible to expedite the necessary federal permits," he said in a statement.
The decision to bless TransCanada's Oklahoma-to-Texas pipeline project gave the White House another chance to blunt GOP attacks by touting its support for U.S. oil development. But Republicans roundly criticized the move, insisting that the president is still standing in the way of Keystone moving forward.
TransCanada said Monday that it will soon reapply for the cross-border permit and the White House welcomed the decision.
"We will ensure any project receives the important assessment it deserves, and will base a decision to provide a permit on the completion of that review," Carney said in the statement.
The White House's comments also angered environmental groups, who vehemently oppose the project.
"The administration must stop trying to have it both ways. President Obama cannot expect to protect the climate and to put the country on a path toward 21st century clean energy while simultaneously shilling for one of the dirtiest industries on Earth," Kim Huynh, dirty fuels campaigner at Friends of the Earth, said in a statement.
"What the administration seems to be missing is that the southern segment of this pipeline would exacerbate air pollution in refinery communities along the Gulf Coast and threaten our heartland with costly spills — all for oil that likely won't make it to Americans' gas tanks."

There are many reasons for considering hardwood flooring as an option for your home. You have many options when considering hardwood. Other flooring options of course include tile, linoleum, carpet, luxury vinyl, and more. With all of the available choices, hardwood is a traditional favorite that resonates character throughout a home. The sound of people walking on it, the smell of wood, its natural look. All common to any wood floor, there is something unique that captures the senses when stepping upon a hardwood floor whether conscious or unconscious.
One of the key benefits of using hardwood flooring is that it is very durable. It can last a very long time without fading or looking worn. How can that be? Many people think that these floors are ones that require a lot of hard work and maintenance, but that is not the case. Rather, it is more common for individuals to select those stained and treated to look good for the long term. If you want to install the type that needs annual or bi-annual care, you can do so. However, this is no longer necessary, as new products will last.
Hardwood flooring can last a very long time in your home when given the care it needs. No fading or worn spots like some synthetic floor coverings can. You can still go into old homes across the United States and see original wood flooring. New staining techniques can really help keep your floor looking shiny and new for even longer periods of time. Hardwood flooring is very easy to maintain as well, although there are a lot of myths to the contrary. Imagine what happens when you spill something on carpet and what it takes in order to properly clean a spill. With linoleum you have to deal with various scuff marks and the like. Sometimes this is a concern for tile too. Tile flooring can also chip and crack and keeping the grout in between tiles clean is another challenge. Each flooring type can have its set of challenges for the homeowner. Feel free to give us a call to talk more about hardwood flooring for your home.
The best part about paving the backyard with stone pavers is that they can keep a home beautiful for years. It is much easier to replace a single stone if it somehow becomes damaged then it is to repair damage to concrete. I was ready to make my dream come true. Stone pavers come in various styles and shapes and are installed in an interlocking pattern to create a strong, solid surface with a high-end look. They are available in a wide range of colors and quality that can easily complement any setting or environment.
Most of the shapes used include fan, x and w shaped, keyhole and parallelogram. You'll want to lay it on the ground and visually ensure that each stone meets at the same spot. Whatever project you are undertaking, from entertaining areas to pool decks, there is a patio paver for you. The non-slippery characteristic and the look provided by the natural stone are simply amazing.
Water walls work well in small gardens or courtyards and are great solutions for building a water garden where space is limited. The level of noise you want must be considered carefully before installing a water garden. Now you can lay your stones. Whatever project you are undertaking, from entertaining areas to pool decks, there is a patio paver for you. Apart from the many textures that they come in, different combinations can bring about a visually fascinating and custom created appearance.

Fallout 3: Point Lookout reviews ( 5 )
Absolutely the direction dlc in fallout 3 should have universally gone. And consequently the best dlc for fallout 3. My only complaint is the length, which is a little short. It has a few standout moments that are very memorable as well.
Point Lookout is a aesthetically pleasing, rich and sometimes disturbing DLC that gains my interest from the environment alone, completely unique and absent from the Capital Wasteland but still nourishing the sense of post acopalyptia. I only played Operation: Anchorage on the Xbox 360, so before people think that i'm attempting to bring the rating up, I also have this for the pc, which is my preferred style of playing any game, period, just so as long as my pc can handle it. Anyhow, the missions themselves are wrestled uniquely, the main quest being somewhat indifferent from the environment, however, in a way throwing me back to the faction-based quests of Skyrim's civil war and so on. That particular quest confused me a bit, not by the narrative of the work, but of how a battle between two great minds were in the setting of redneck county and of the marshlands of Maryland. The experience is compelling nonetheless, seeing the beauty of the mechanics finally unfold, webbed with environments blooming with interaction and a sense of awe. The rednecks themselves are also interesting, but also quite disturbing too, having to fight the most downtrodden of the inbred, with a noticable hint of radiation trailing off their autonomy. Of all the DLC's I have played from FO3: Point Lookout, like New Vegas' Mothership Zeta, will be one of the few that I will be willing to come back to play again.
From my personal experience, I didn't enjoy Point Lookout due to the sudden stretch in difficulty, but it is a great DLC nonetheless. Having a Western-Style hill-billy DLC mixed with scientific concepts is unique and perfectly fitting for the post apocalyptic environment. Those that found the other DLC's too easy will be either pleased or shocked (like myself) with the much higher scale in difficulty. Just like the other DLC's, the main campaign is short but there are side-quests and other ways to occupy yourself in Point Lookout. Characters are quirky and interesting, with a dangerous decision at the end of the campaign.
While I enjoyed this DLC the most, I have slight disappointment about this particular DLC. Anyone who enjoyed Shivering Isle, will feel that this DLC is almost copy-and-paste version of Shivering Isle. The themes.. swampy green enviroment (rather than Wasteland feeling, this is Dementia.) Classic go-and-fetch quests, the tribal worshipping high-tech-comp. (this is where insane dremora god being worshipped by lot of insane folks.). There is no other energy weapons/power armor other than the microwave emitter. (which by the way is nothing but a copy of mesometron with different stats.) This is a good example of how a dev can recycle their previous content and sell it to the fan base. however, the main story was sorta fun. (but too short.) Explorable dungeons were above average. and thankfully the monsters/enemies were tough and added more challenge, which is why I give 7/10 instead of 5/10.
I had enough of those god-damn swamps after 20 minutes. Enemies are stronger than super-mutant on steroids, there's basically nothing in there. The best mission is about finding agent China, at the end it will give you some swamp riffle, which is just simple rifle eating 10mm ammunition. But the main quest end, holy molly, I was promised to get some big reward, rite? And what was that reward? Mesmetron and few grenades? Are you kidding me? Mesmetron I can get at Paradise Falls for free, holy flip! So basically at the end of the main quest the reward is practically NOTHING! It was boring, I was happy like a little turtle when I leaved it and came back to DC, you know.

2-3pm Opening Performance: American Portraits
3-5pm Opening Reception
2-3pm Closing Performance: American Portraits
3-5pm Artist Talk—Guest Critic: Chang Nai-Wen (Artist and Assistant Professor, Taipei National University of the Arts)
*Visit during performance sessions if you wish to participate and be the subject of an "American portrait".
Press Release
Mong-jane Wu: Pseudo/Mixed Light (可道地Ke Dao Di) is Wu's first solo exhibition in Taiwan. It will take place from June 21 to June 30 at Chinese Culture University's Da Hsia Gallery (文化大學推廣教育部 大夏藝廊), with works including photography, installation, and two performances.
The meaning of Ke Dao Di—the Chinese title of Pseudo/Mixed Light—varies according to the tone in which it is spoken. When spoken as an inquiry, it asks whether something is authentic; with an affirmative tone, it means something is considered authentic, or that something describes a certain location. The pieces in the show not only negotiate the concept of "authenticity", but also investigate the meaning of "Di", which means: "ground", "background", or "location".
The photographic work in Pseudo/Mixed Light portrays Americanized Chinese dishes gelatinized into the shape of the iconic white takeout container. While the food suggests a relocated Chinese culture, the shape refers to the context in which the culture forms a new look.
The exhibition will also host the debut of the American Portraits performance—a side project of Pseudo/Mixed Light—where the artist reconstructs a Lifetouch photo studio in the gallery and collaborate with the audience, as a former Lifetouch photographer, to create "American-style" portraits. Please visit during performance sessions if you wish to participate. (Lifetouch Inc. is a photography company in the US, which produces a large proportion of school and church portraits in America. As a result, the company's studio standards and photo aesthetics have formed the familiar American portrait.)
About the artist
Born in Taipei, Taiwan, Mong-jane Wu studied sociology and architectural history before she received an MFA at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. She uses photography, installation, and performance to explore ideas of form and formalities, and how they constitute identities, stereotypes, and general impressions. Selected photographs in Pseudo/Mixed Light has been shown in Taiwan and the United States, including Photo National 2011 (2011), New England Photography Biennial (2012), and TIVAC Photo Awards Juror's Choice (2014). The current exhibition is awarded a New Talent Grant from the Ministry of Culture in Taiwan.

As parents of still young kids (nearly 5 and 7 years old) it is sometimes difficult to meander the fine line of "that's too babyish" and "that's too mature". This is problematic across all forms of media but particularly in TV/movies where violence seems prevalent even in "kids" shows. If I am perfectly honest, prior to my recent experiences of reading comics geared toward kids/all ages, I have long worried that comics would be another medium that introduces violence at too young of an age for my kids. What I didn't know then was how captivating comics can be and how they can work in such a positive way.
As I've commented on other blogs, the amount of material being created and geared toward kids is exploding and becoming more common place in libraries and bookstores everywhere. I look at books like Cardboard Kingdom and Sanity and Tallulah where there are challenges and conflict but the resolutions are creative and empowering.
I'm not sure if anyone out there is reading this, but as a comic book podcast and blog, the GotS crew is truly passionate about educating/informing the public about comics and introducing people to comics they might not have considered previously. And I, as a mom, am most interested in finding comics for you to enjoy with your kids, that also teach a lesson, that aren't too babyish and aren't too mature. Hence, I bring you a newish book on the block…Punk Taco.
Punk Taco is the story of a space-taco and his bandmates who travel around the galaxy playing to their fans and helping people where they can. In the first installment, Punk Taco befriends a very hungry alien who turns out is a refuge from a planet just overtaken by the evil tyrant King Boogarr (a hamburger of course)– who thinks he can just take over everything and make everyone his slaves. Punk Taco promises his new friend that together they will go rescue his missing family and fight to free the planet. Though the band's music and message of peace and love, plus a few well timed karate kicks, King Boogarr is defeated and carted off by the Galactic Union. However, the book ends on a cliffhanger as the Punk Taco van is snatched by a giant hand extending from a black hole!
Through the Twitter-verse Ghosts of the Stratosphere was able to connect with creator Adam Wallenta who wrote the book with his young son Makana. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to ask him a few questions about this book and the forthcoming Volume 2.
First a little background. What's your comic book story? When did you first get into them? What were/are your favorite series/characters? How did you get into the creating of comics?
I've been reading and collecting comic books for as long as I can remember. Somewhere between the ages of 5-6 I was given my first Spider-Man and Batman comics and I've never been able to stop reading them. Spidey is definitely my all time favorite along with Captain America but I have love for all of them.
I always loved to draw and write. I started writing my own stories when I was about 6-7. I used to illustrate the pictures and then put them into our typewriter and type out the story in an attempt to make it look like a real book. Many years later I went to Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY to study illustration and while attending I got an internship at Marvel Comics. While interning at Marvel and learning the ins and outs of publishing, I was hired as a colorist and got my first professional work.
From there I continued to work as a professional illustrator and colorist as well as doing editorial work and then started my a publishing company called American Mule Entertainment that I ran between 1997-2017.
That is so cool—I'm completely non-creative. I'm good at following instructions to make something but horrible at making my own creation. I'm glad to see Makana takes after you!
Speaking of, Makana, when was he first introduced to comics? What are his favorites (aside from Punk Taco of course)?
I introduced Makana to comics the moment he was born. The first graphic novel I read to him was the Elfquest series when he was a newborn. We would put him in his rocker and I would sit next to him and read him to sleep. Since then he's had an endless appetite for books and reading and devours everything he can. He's 7 now and besides the books he reads on his own, we read together every night. Everything from classic Marvel Omnibus collections of the original Amazing Spider-Man series to Kirby's Captain America, the Fantastic Four and more. He has a huge collection of books and some of his favorites include the Hilo series, Mighty Jack, Avatar the Last Air Bender, Tiny Titans, The Three Thieves series, Sci-Fu, Hero Bear, Rocket Robinson and Tin Tin.
Thanks for providing a wish list for our son Jakob's 7th birthday later this month. 😜
So how did Punk Taco come about? What came first, the story or the character? Was it your idea or Makana's? How did it evolve from there? How much was he involved with the actual writing of the comic?
I actually had the name bouncing around in my head for over 10 years. One day, Makana and I were just hanging out playing Lego and making up stories and I mentioned to him that I had this name "Punk Taco". He thought it was hilarious and started coming up with ideas for the character, the story, and all of the supporting cast. From there he started doing some drawings and I helped him develop the art and structure the story and write the dialogue.
He was involved in the whole process and even helped produce some of the art in the book. Once the story and art was drawn, we would work on the dialogue together going back and forth with what worked and what didn't. I wanted kids to enjoy it as well as adults so we had to work together to find that balance.
Clearly the focus of the story is anti-bullying. Is there an incident or situation that sparked this as the premise of the book or was it more of a general awareness?
As a kid I was bullied a lot but there was no specific incident that influenced this tale. As a parent, we've had some incidents at school we've had to deal with but nothing serious at this point. So I guess it's just inspired by a combination of past experiences and the world we currently live in, where it seems like, even though there is more awareness than ever, we've been desensitized and a large portion of people have embraced a "tough-guy" bullying mindset. You would think at this point in history, the idea of bullying another human wouldn't exist, but it does and people still feel alone, helpless and frightened. We wanted to create a character that helped those in need and let them know it's ok to have this range of emotions and ask for help.
I love how your book talks about the simple yet incredibly strong power of love, especially in how you actually just spelled it out for the reader. As a parent in this sometimes (ok, often times) crazy world we live in, what other ways do you personally try to teach this lesson?
I think the best thing we can do is just lead by example. We show our kids endless amounts of love and affection and encourage kindness and empathy towards others. I try and express and vocalize my love for our family all the time as well as love for the world around us, from friends to nature, music, art and science and education. It's not always easy, because there are plenty of things to vocally hate like war, racism, bigotry, sexism, poverty and corruption. So we have to make sure when we battle those things we do so in a positive way that helps spread love and talk about what we love more than what angers and frustrates us because that stuff will consume you.
I found the bully's power of brainwashing very intriguing. Was there a particular reason you chose this as the villain power? Perhaps I'm reading too much into it but I felt it was very apt given the world we live in where it is so easy to be consumed by the webs spun around us, whether by trolling on social media, polarizing politics or hyper-reactive media outlets.
Being bullied physically sucks but once they get to your mind, they can really control you. You lose all self esteem and confidence, you get depressed and lose a part of yourself. So to me I feel like the worst bullies are the ones that use this power to destroy who we are.
On a different note, I have a couple of random questions.
- What type of taco is Punk Taco? Are we going traditional beef? Fancy fish? And can you actually eat tacos without pretending it is Punk Taco himself?
- When you think of Punk Taco, the band, what do you "hear" them playing? I mean, clearly it's rock but are we thinking Rolling Stones vs. Stone Temple Pilot vs. the Eagles?
Great questions. We designed him to be a beef taco (although I prefer fish tacos) and of course he has a variety of extras including tomatoes, lettuce, onions and olives. Punk Taco himself is a vegetarian.
Punk Taco and the band are somewhere between The Clash and Bad Religion and Public Enemy and De La Soul. They are a positive, uplifting band that are vocal about injustices in society and they are not afraid to speak on these topics despite their intergalactic fame. They like to have fun and party though but there's always a message in their music.
You are currently working on publishing Volume 2 and are pushing through the last few weeks of your Kickstarter campaign (check it out here!). How are you feeling about the project?
I've had projects stall and fail and not get funded in the past so it's always nerve racking until you hit 100%. We'd love to go beyond 100% though because we have some great stretch goal rewards like a Punk Taco coloring book, and more story for Volume 2.
A $25 pledge will get you a copy of Punk Taco Volume 1 or 2 or you can get both for $50 along with bonus rewards like stickers, buttons, bookmarks, pins, original art and more. The book itself is an awesome oversized 8.5×12 hardcover and looks great on your bookshelf and both kids and adults love to hold and read it.
What have been the biggest challenges in self-publishing other than establishing funding?
Reaching a larger audience and distribution. Those are definitely the biggest challenges. The creative process is the most fun. When it comes down to the business, then it becomes a bit stressful. The comic book industry only has one real distributor and that is Diamond Comic Distributors. For 20 years they distributed my books and I never missed a deadline. For some reason they rejected Punk Taco and that really hurt us. We wanted to get into more stores and libraries but without them it has been much more challenging and we've had to do it all on our own.
This must have been so incredibly hard, especially for Makana. But I can only imagine the personal growth and resilience his is developing, learning that things just don't happen overnight, they require work and effort and persistence.
Makana is now 2 years older (from 5 to 7 years old right?, which is a huge gap both academically and emotionally)–how have you seen his writing/creative process evolve? How has the collaboration between you changed (or has it)?
That's correct. He's a much better storyteller now and has learned a lot more about writing thanks to his teachers and his consumption of so many books. He's a lot more opinionated on what we should include and has a great imagination. Nothing has rally changed in regards to how we collaborate, we're just about to communicate better because he's so much more articulate and understanding of the process and what it takes to make a book.
Well I for one am looking forward to Volume 2 and adding the books to our home comic book collection. Thanks for your time and best wishes!

A big thank you to Lori Reposa for featuring me on the Longings Clothes blog
That sound. "Click, click, click", do you recognise that sound? If you didn't guess it, it is the sound of your heels hitting the ground. It is so hard for me to explain what happens to me inside when I hear this sound. It is like this instant boost of confidence…it is invigorating. Heads start turning and for that moment that you are walking down the hall, you own it, you have everyone's attention. This is not just a physical height. Am I the only one that feels this way when you hear the clicking of your heels?
For a long time, I hesitated to wear heels because I thought I was too tall for them. Lord forbid me stick out more than I already do. I would make all kinds of excuses like, they will hurt my feet or I am already tall so why do I need the extra height? Now don't get me wrong, I don't wear heels all the time because I don't always find them as comfortable as flats. But when I need that boost of confidence I know it is time to put those heels on.
Were they made just to make shorter women look taller? After realising the overall feeling that you get from wearing them, I doubt it has anything to do with height and all women of different heights must experience this same feeling.
In Today's article, "The surprisingly functional reason high heels were invented" mentioned that Elizabeth Semmelhack, senior curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, stated they were originally invented for men for functional purposes and could trace their history back to the 10th century, Persian men wore heels while on horseback so their feet would fit better in the stirrups. Get out of here… who knew??
More interesting, it later states that, women starting wearing heels in the 1700's to make their feet look smaller. This was due to someone coming up with an idea that beautiful women had very tiny feet. I swear if I was a tall woman in the 1700's I would be so screwed! This wasn't the first time that I heard about this.
So when did heels take the form that they have today? Well, it wasn't until the 1940's and 1950's that we saw the increased stability of the heel. Wartime technology helped popularise the modern day stiletto heel during this time by allowing fabricators to utilise their metal in heels. The use of steel allowed the shapes of heels to change.
But does any of this really matter? What I really want to know is how these shoes make women feel today and see if it is just me that gets this extra height from the heels, mental height that is. I would like to share with you how other tall women feel.

According to Sallee, "I used to wear heels on the daily but I spend a increasing amount of time on my feet, whether it's running workshops, travelling or delivering talks, and comfort often overrides extra-height these days! Standing at 6'2, heels have always been more of a style choice than anything else for me and some outfits simply don't work without them. I'm an emotional dresser so what I choose to wear has to match the mood I wake up in and if the mood says heels then I always opt for a 3″ stiletto in either a boot or a court shoe".
"When it comes to public speaking, I choose heels every single time because of how they make me feel – confident, stylish and graceful plus they make you conscious of your posture so I feel that I carry myself better than when I'm in flats. Already being tall shouldn't discourage anyone from wearing heels nor should it encourage people to make negative comments because style is a personal choice and if makes you feel good, you're entitled to own it!"

What Are The Most Common Side Effects Of Abusing DMT?
Welcome to the DMT Instances world news portal. DMT (N,N-Dimethyltryptamine) is a hallucinogenic tryptamine drug that occurs naturally in lots of crops and animals. This experience happened a couple of days after my 18th birthday, I personally have always been inquisitive about medicine and psychedelics normally and was extraordinarily excited to try this. These mild beings often impart some knowledge to the DMT user, although that wisdom may differ depending on the expertise, if the psychonaut may even bear in mind what they have been informed after returning to actuality.
DMT and ayahuasca are doubtlessly unlawful substances, so we do not encourage or condone the use of either substance the place they're against the law. The primary time we heard about DMT vape pens was a year and a half in the past, when comedian Shane Mauss advised us a story about loading up two vape pens with DMT to get greater for longer Since then, we have seen them for buy off the Darkish Internet, within the Buy dmt vape juice online inventory of dealers and bragged about on Fb.
Buy DMT Powder online,The primary time I heard about vape pens full of DMT, I used to be fully dumbfounded. However then, in 1970, the American authorities put it in probably the most felony class of medicine, primarily starving DMT of research grants or tutorial entry. Vaping DMT in a pen is actually revolutionary. People who are susceptible to psychological health issues, together with despair, anxiety, and more severe situations like schizophrenia, might trigger these circumstances because of fast and intense changes to brain chemistry.

Two great episodes in a row for The Flash. It looks as if going into the final stretch, this show will be back on track. Before watching it, Run, Iris, Run, seemed like an episode that was going to be a step backwards and slow down the show. But instead, it was great all around. We get some much needed development of Iris's character, we see why Ralph has regressed a bit and we even get some really great Harry & Cisco moments. This was a great episode that solidified Iris's place on the team as not only team leader but as a support system for Barry.
Iris is given Barry's speed when the team fights a bus meta who has the ability to swap people's DNA.

The people factor
Carnegieâs principles are so simple that itâs sometimes difficult to believe that such simplicity can have a profound impact on people and a leaderâs ability to achieve organizational objectives. Young leaders taking the helm must reshape the way leaders operate. The impact of the authoritarian style, which is deeply rooted in a heritage of slavery, still dominates the workplace. Some workplace leaders think that the best way to lead is with fear and belittling tactics, as that was the behaviour modelled to them. Sadly, years of such behaviour have even conditioned some workers to hold that as a standard of good leadership and new thinking leaders may get dismissed as being "softâ and "ineffective.â
This destructive mould must be broken. Employees are the most valuable asset in an organization, and the leader who is most able to affect the attitude of employees and motivate them to perform at their best will be most successful. The recent organizational restructuring in a few major companies in St Vincent and the Grenadines, and the introduction of global companies as competitors should serve as a wake-up call to all businesses. In order to stay competitive, companies are being forced to restructure, downsize the staff, cut costs, and inevitably, employees will be asked to do more with less. That cannot be achieved if leaders are not in touch with the simple principles of how to get the most from employees in a positive way.
Carnegieâs recommendations, though simple, have been proven for over 50 years since the book was written and are still being utilized today. People skills take time to develop; begin now with nine of Carnegieâs principles and start to develop your people skills even before you become a leader.
1. Begin with praise and honest appreciation.
2. Call attention to peopleâs mistakes indirectly.
3. Talk about your own mistakes before criticizing the other person.
4. Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.
5. Let the other person save face.
6. Praise the slightest improvement and praise every improvement. Be "hearty in your approbation and lavish in your praise.â
7. Give the other person a fine reputation to live up to.
8. Use encouragement. Make the fault seem easy to correct.
9. Make the other person happy about doing the thing you suggest.

Work in Progress
I'm not some focused market-hype,
Or beta-tested prototype,
Not better – not faster – not fickle.
I still have flaws and silly quirks
I still have bugs within my works:
Like chuckle – like freckle – like tickle.
I've no save-game and no abort,
I'm version one-point-double-nought;
No cover – no sample – no sequel.
Organical of recipe,
I move through ev'ry part of me,
As slowly – as sweetly – as treacle.

When unemployment is very low, as it is right now, recruiters will find it more difficult to fill companies' open positions because there is a smaller pool of potential candidates for jobs. While all industries are typically affected by low unemployment, positions in the IT field, where shortages already exist, as well as entry-level, lower-paying positions are particularly difficult to fill.
Recruiting Challenges in a Tight Labor Market
Not only is the talent pool lean when unemployment is low, but there can be more open positions to fill when recruiters try to get creative in finding qualified personnel. A low-unemployment environment can lead recruiters to seek passive candidates, and if they are successful, companies will have to fill the positions left open when passive candidates make a move to a different job.
Other common challenges for recruiters include meeting time-to-fill goals and choosing between candidates that aren't exactly qualified but seem to be the best available prospects.
Finding New Strategies to Meet Recruiting Challenges
The bottom line is that recruiters need to find new strategies to help them meet the recruiting challenges that come with low unemployment. There are some silver linings in the jobs numbers that should give hope to beleaguered recruiters, and ways around the difficulties they face.
One place to look for candidates that many companies have traditionally overlooked is at those who have been unemployed for such a long time that they've stopped actively looking for a job, or are underemployed for their qualifications. In the government's unemployment reports, this figure is known as the U6 number, and it is always significantly higher than the U3 number that is typically reported.
In the latest jobs report, the number of workers that have been unemployed for more than 27 weeks as well as those who are employed part-time but would like to work full time was 6.1 million, or nearly as many as the 6.6 million who were unemployed and actively looking for work. These millions are a great place recruiters can look for candidates that others might look right past.
Companies have typically been reluctant to look at candidates who have gaps in their employment history or who aren't currently working in the field. However, some of these candidates have a lot to offer and should be considered when traditional candidates with more current experience aren't forthcoming.
As the workforce adjusts to the new reality of lower unemployment and workforce shortages, shifts will occur in how employers hire, train, and retain workers. GDH can help companies recruit for the positions they need even in the midst of talent shortages and changing labor conditions, helping them unearth new sources of talent to stay competitive with other companies.
