Reuter's representative had an interview with Sir Ernest Shackleton, who returned yesterday from his trial expedition in Norway. Both he and his five companions, though bronzed and well, bore traces of the severe conditions under which their trial was made, their faces being badly blistered.
Discussing the experiences of the party, Sir Ernest said: "I am very pleased with the result of this test, the first made in Polar work under such conditions.
"We went out to find defects, and those we discovered we shall rectify.
"The whole test, however, has shown that our preparations are in the right direction.
"The two greatest successes have proved to be our tent and the motors. In the case of the tent we shall make certain modifications, and it will be practically dome-shaped. The parts of the sledge carrying the motor, too, will have to be much wider, so as to prevent capsizing.
"We worked, of course, in all weathers, and as far as possible under Antarctic conditions.
"One of the most exciting experiences of the trip was the capsizing of the motor sledge while turning a steep slope. However, no-one was hurt.
"The party did a lot of sledge-pulling on skis when the conditions of the surface permitted.
"So far as it was possible to test the rations they proved highly satisfactory."
[Shackleton was preparing for the The Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition, an attempt to make the first land crossing of the Antarctic continent, via the South Pole. Although he failed, the "Endurance" mission's amazing story of survival is regarded as Shackleton's most famous exploit.]

When I cook, I tend to make a lot of stuff up as I go. For instance, I don't have utensils to measure "teaspoon" or "tablespoon" so those measurements are always haphazardly guessed. I don't have a microwave, so I often make a makeshift double-boiler to heat stuff up by boiling a pot of water and putting a dish on top.
This is what I ended up with for supper: Vegetarian eggs bageldict
Two poached eggs on a poppyseed bagel with cream cheese, sliced tomato, sliced avocado, and Hollandaise sauce.
I'd never poached eggs before so that looked like this:
It looks like it would fit better with yesterday's cloud theme. (As would the next part.)
Then with the leftover egg whites from the Hollandaise sauce, I made meringue because why not? I put it on top of a loaf cake thing I grabbed at the grocery store.
Lemon-Rasberry Meringue loaf cake. Hopefully it is good. I haven't eaten this yet.
Now I have a giant mess I need to clean up, because I am incredibly talented at making messes.

Important General Assembly Information
0 Comments
The annual meeting for Unitarian Universalists (called General Assembly, or GA) will be held June 21-25 in New Orleans, Louisiana this year. Several UUCSH members are planning to attend. It is at this GA that Rev. Jennifer Kelleher will be accepted into Final Fellowship with the UUA! Come to show your support! (and to have a darn good time!)
GA Registration and the GA Housing reservations open at 9 a.m. EST.
In the past, housing reservations have gone very quickly. Hotel rooms start at $149 per night, and sleep up to 4 people. Dormitory rooms and UU home hospitality are other options which also open for registration on March 1 at 9am.
Steeped in a history of influences from Europe, the Caribbean, and Africa, New Orleans is one of America's most culturally and historically-rich destinations. It is a city known for its music, food, architecture, and festivals. The average high temperature in June is 89 degrees and the average low is 71.
New Orleans is also known as a place of re-birth following the devastation of Katrina in 2005. Many Unitarian Universalists have contributed time and funds in the effort to rebuild both the city and the congregations in the area. By going to New Orleans, we can both celebrate our successes and recommit to the relationships that have been forged with this community. There will be many service projects to participate in!
Programming for children and youth are offered. If you have questions about what to expect at GA, please ask Rev. Jennifer, Chris Buja, Melanie Davis, Ann Perry, Nadine Kadell Sapirman, the Kitchens or Ed Horch. You need not be in a position of leadership to attend GA; anyone can go!

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — In a sign that the core of the Federal Reserve is turning hawkish, San Francisco Fed President John Williams laid out the case for the U.S. central bank moving sooner rather than later to hike rates.
Although Williams has been careful over the past few weeks to stress that he only wants to begin a discussion of rate hikes at the June meeting, he laid out the case for moving sooner rather than waiting for inflation to push up close to the central bank's 2% target.
The Fed should not keep its foot on the accelerator, he said.
"When you're driving towards a stoplight, you don't keep your foot on the accelerator; you ease off so you're ready to stop at your target. Otherwise you slam on the brakes—and probably wind up in the middle of the intersection," Williams said.
Williams said the Fed should move despite the strengthening dollar.
"The fact that I am saying we should raise interest rates [means] the U.S. economy has domestic momentum," he said in the question-and-answer session, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.
Williams is a key ally of Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen, having been her deputy and then replacing her as head of the San Francisco Fed.
Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer, another member of Yellen's inner circle, on Monday said that a rise in interest rates is probably warranted by the end of the year.

Prepare to transform alot of diapers!
Your package of joy will need about 6000 nappy changes prior to finishing to underwears. That's a lot of dirty nappies and, depending on which ones you make use of, either a lot of waste or a great deal of washing!
There's the poo variable– that nappy has obtained ta be up to the job. The things we provide for love.
A stitch in time conserves nine … minutes of sleep
Obtaining a nappy plan in position prior to child comes will conserve you time, cash and also power, as well as will have a big effect on your ecological footprint. Having stated that, it's never ever far too late to switch over nappy teams or mix it up a little bit depending on your concern for the atmosphere versus your worry for your peace of mind … and your demand for sleep.
First of all, allow's be familiar with nappies.
Excellent ol' disposables. With actually only one style, they absorb dampness quickly to prevent leaks as well as 'secure it in' to maintain your bub reasonably dry; are easy and also fast to secure; remain shut throughout usage; and fit different shapes and sizes.
Recyclable modern towel nappies
Modern fabric nappies (MCNs) are becoming extra popular and also, to be clear, we're not speaking the old terry-towelling squares. MCNs are the new whiz-bang variation showcasing a waterproof cover, watertight elasticised leg holes as well as absorptive cushioning and also lining.
The different styles
There are more than 200 brands– most of which are made by work-at-home mums who sell them online on stores like Etsy.
All-in-ones have a moisture-resistant external layer stitched with an absorbent inner to create the nappy– they can take a little while to dry.
All-in-twos, also called snap-in-ones, contain a lined water-proof outer layer and absorbent inner layers, which "break in" with press studs. They could be uncoupled for laundering, so they dry out faster than all-in-ones.
Pocket nappies have a water-proof outer layer stitched with a soft inner cellular lining, which develops the shell. In between these two layers there's a pocket for the absorptive inserts. These are gotten rid of for cleaning then replaced, which could be a little bit fiddly yet on the plus side they dry swiftly.
Old-fashioned terry-towelling square nappies are additionally still available. They could take a little practice to fold up as well as fit right, but they are a more affordable recyclable alternative than MCNs, as well as modern fasteners suggest you don't also need to utilize safety pins.
I can see there are benefits to both– just how do I choose in Nobleboro Maine?
There are a variety of considerations, so allow's have a look at them.
The upfront price of reusable nappies is quite high, yet in the long run it's possibly cheaper compared to disposables– decreasing in expense tremendously with every kid.
Cloth nappies do need a bit more job, as well as could be a pain when you're out. Much like a tired bub.
High quality, well-fitting nappies– whether towel or disposable– will certainly keep infant completely dry, and also will not trigger nappy rash.
Environmental influence
Non reusable nappies truly do not have the very best environment-friendly track record, however there are alternatives to minimize their impact:
Some brand names are biodegradable, though conditions in landfill make this destruction hard to take place.
Some have compostable or recyclable packaging.
Acquiring locally-made nappies, rather than imported, minimizes transport carbon expense.
In spite of the ecological prices of textile manufacturing and nappy laundering, fabric nappies that are dry-pailed and mostly line-dried still come out in advance of disposables.
Disposables are available in different dimensions to match your expanding bundle-that's- now-turning-into-a-handful, and eventually you could relocate into pull-up pants from several of the same brand names.
MCNs are available in fixed dimensions, or a one-size-fits-most (OSFM), which has additional fastenings for adjusting the nappy as your baby expands.
Fixed-size nappies indicates purchasing new sets as your infant expands larger, so it might set you back more. On the various other hand, if you're having greater than one kid, you'll make use of the grown out of ones again.
You'll only require one collection of OSFM nappies, but their longer usage implies more wear and tear, and they may only last through one child's early stage.
Diaper Products
The kind of material used impacts drying out time. Natural fibres typically take longer to dry compared to synthetics, and also you'll want to see to it you have sufficient nappies to get via a couple of days of damp weather if you do not have a dryer.
Paper or textile nappy liners make your washing life less complicated by maintaining solids off the nappy. Flushable ones make clean-up a cinch!
The absorbing materials (shell linings, pads and also boosters) include bamboo, cotton, hemp or fleece, with breathable polyurethane laminated fabric (PUL) or lanolised woollen commonly utilized for covers– if you're interested in that kind of thing.
I want a judgment– which nappy is best?
For environmental as well as financial reasons, you can not pass by MCNs.
For ease-of-use and also benefit, disposables are the way to go.
Of course it doesn't need to be one or the various other: you can utilize cloth nappies in your home during the day, as well as disposables when out as well as about, vanishing, in the evening, at daycare, and throughout long periods of rainfall when you 'd rather not utilize the dryer.
If you're not sure:
Get a single nappy of each kind that ignites your passion.
Some MCN firms sell test packs with samples of the different designs.
Work with a test pack from a nappy collection, a service provided by nappy firms as well as area teams: browse the internet for 'contemporary towel nappy library' to find one near you.
Just how do I know I've chosen the appropriate nappy?
Whatever you've picked, here's the list for an excellent nappy:
No dripping around the legs.
No liquid permeating through the cover.
Not as well tight or also loose around hips and also legs.
No massaging or chafing from the nappy or fasteners around the legs or hips.
Infant's skin really feels fairly completely dry when the damp nappy is removed.
The nappy holds enough fluid to be functional (ie you do not need to change frequently).
Baby can relocate legs easily as well as, at later phases, crawl and also walk without being troubled by the nappy.
One last point, are reusable nappies as much grunt work as they appear?
There's a simple five-step strategy called completely dry pailing, which fans claim make light work of heavy soils.
Utilize flushable linings to capture solids.
Different the parts (cover as well as padding) of the wet nappies, or if they're all-in-ones miss ahead to step 3.
Rinse in chilly water if needed.
Put them right into a bucket with a lid.
Toss the tons into the washering every other day.
With any luck you now have a satisfied, completely dry child and also the only point you have to fret about is just how you'll locate time to Instagram every moment!

Climate chaos turns fruitful
The consequences of climate change often have the highest impact on indigent communities, with events such as storms and flooding creating severe damage in poorly built homes and on infrastructure.
By adapting to the changing environment, poor people not only build resistance to climate chaos, but can turn it to their advantage.
The Built Environment Support Group's three-year Greener Pastures project has been successful in doing exactly that, while simultaneously promoting environmental awareness and improved nutrition.
Based in KwaZulu Natal's uMgungundlovu district, an area prone to severe storm damage, the project applied a people-centred approach by encouraging beneficiaries to come up with their own solutions and to share innovative ideas within the community. Participative learning ensured that people fully engaged with the project and refined it by adding ideas and insights.
"When there are storms houses and schools get flooded, there's a lot of soil erosion and roads wash away," says Greener Pastures facilitator Mfundo Mahlase.
"We worked with people to help them come up to their own solutions about how they can prevent damage. Things such as planting to reduce soil erosion, creating drainage systems to reduce storm water damage, as well as how to store the water and use it for agriculture."
The project made use of street theatre skits, which acted as an icebreaker and introduced concepts such as food security and global warming.
By targeting community-based organisations and schools, the project educated people about the causes and effects of climate change and encouraged environmentally sound practices such as recycling and water, and energy conservation and management.
Participants were taught about storm water control, recycling, nutrition and good cooking practices, as well as the importance of trees and food gardening.
Three years later the fruits of the project are apparent among rural communities in the Valley of a Thousand Hills.
People have changed their cooking methods to reduce the amount of water and energy required and are enjoying healthier, balanced diets as a result of thriving vegetable gardens.
Income is generated through the sale of excess crops. The fruit trees that were planted have been well cared for and are beginning to offer shade and act as windbreaks. Grey water is being used to water plants and storm water is being harvested.
In the areas where there is government-supplied electricity and water, participants are managing these effectively. People are also making clever use of waste products such as plastic and tin, and recycling these into useful objects that they use or sell.
"This is a lovely project. It is ending on June 30, but people have our numbers and we will continue to monitor the areas and see what they are doing beyond food gardens and selling their produce," says Mahlase.

I had my first pet at the age of five. Cindy was an extremely loyal, though lethal, Doberman. An excellent watchdog, she died of a snake bite at the age of nine.
And so arrived Her Majesty Caroline.
And thus departed Peace, for Carey is a 'new-age' dog, not your usual 'i'll-sit-by-the-door-and-bark' types, in fact, we had to teach her how to bark!
Oh yes!I'd have to be like "Come on Carey,look!stray cow on the road!Bark!Bark!Dumb Dog!!".
To which, Her Majesty gracefully cocks one ear at me, gives me The Glance, and goes back to chewing whatever she's destroying today..
And it gets stranger. Peeing all over the house,stealing potatoes from the refrigerator, tearing clothes/books/mattresses/you-name-it and chewing on whatever she sees!This one keeps us on our toes!
(though she may help us with disposing off plastic one day,chew chew chew)
Talk of security?this one once freaked out on seeing a cat!And she can't stand thunderstorms, crackers and bizarrely, baraats!
Its not like I'm regretting getting her, she has her good points too!Like trying to keep us in shape by making us chase her when she steals something. Or reminding us we have to get the floor/bedsheet cleaned by doing her daily business on it.
Five and a half years in the running!
A little something for the readers:
Is your dog driving you nuts?
Making you run all over the place in this sultry weather?
Wish it would just calm down?
Switch on the Air Conditioner and watch it snooze stretched over your favorite couch.
I have a theory.
You know how the elder people always keep on complaining about the younger generation?how they're depraved and all that?(kalyug).
It might be true after all.
I mean,LOOK at the dogs this age has produced!

Hybrid MLM – What Is TAN Island Retreats
Thank you for visiting us in looking for "What Is TAN Island Retreats" online.
The physical Internet backbone that carries information between different nodes of the network has become the work of several companies called Internet service providers (ISPs), which includes companies offering long distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local pipe, which ultimately connects in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only happen through one of these ISPs, players like degree 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP manages its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private businesses, and occasionally by Governments, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for last mile-consumers and businesses who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the information to stream without interruption, in the appropriate area at the perfect time.
While none of these organizations owns the Internet collectively these businesses decide how it works, and established rules and standards that everyone stays. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to ascertain how things work and what happens if something bad happens. To get a domain name, for instance, one needs permission from a Registrar, which includes a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security dilemmas? A working group is formed to work on the issue and the solution developed and deployed is in the interest of all parties. If the Internet is down, you have someone to call to get it mended. If the issue is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the way in which these issues are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain isn't regulated by any centralized firm. No one can tell the miners to update, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a committed promoter badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet functions. But as you comprehend now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works current inherent difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to comprehend how the process operates in and of itself, but it's fundamentally important to comprehend that there's a process of mining to create virtual currency. Unlike monies as we know them today where Authorities and banks can just choose to print endless numbers (I 'm not saying they're doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of monies that can enter into circulation.
You have probably noticed this often times where you generally distribute the good word about crypto. It is not risky? What goes on if the cost crashes? So far, many POS systems offers free conversion of fiat, improving some concern, but until the volatility cryptocurrencies is resolved, a lot of people will be unwilling to put up any. We must discover a way to struggle the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too fast, there may be some difficulties. If the platform is adopted immediately, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole stage of Ethereum could become destabilized due to the raising costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum stage and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether may result in an adverse change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business that could lead to business being unable to continue to run or to stop operation.
A lot of people choose to use a currency deflation, particularly those that want to save. Despite the criticism and skepticism, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some applications than others. Fiscal privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; should you be living paycheck to paycheck, it would take place within your wealth, with the remainder reserved for other currencies.

Mining cryptocurrencies is how new coins are placed into circulation. Because there is no government control and crypto coins are digital, they cannot be printed or minted to produce more. The mining process is what makes more of the coin. It may be useful to consider the mining as joining a lottery group, the pros and cons are the same. Mining crypto coins means you'll get to keep the full rewards of your efforts, but this reduces your chances of being successful. Instead, joining a pool means that, overall, members will have a much higher chance of solving a block, but the benefit will be divided between all members of the pool, based on the number of shares won.
If you are thinking of going it alone, it is worth noting the software settings for solo mining can be more complicated than with a pool, and beginners would be probably better take the latter route. This option also creates a stable stream of revenue, even if each payment is small compared to entirely block the reward.
In case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may even be exchanged as being a commodity. Advocates of cryptocurrencies proclaim this type of personal money isn't controlled with a key bank system and it is not therefore subject to the vagaries of its inflation. Since there are always a minimal quantity of products, this coinis importance is dependant on market forces, enabling owners to business over cryptocurrency deals.
Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have now been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers argue that there's real value, even through there isn't any physical representation of that value. The value climbs due to computing power, that's, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU electricity via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a time frame which is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some kind of benefit to be able to ensure the shortfall. Each coin contains many smaller units. For Bitcoin, each component is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are exactly to authenticate other trades, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant alternative, which will be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The one who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it to some value is provided by another address, which is a wallet file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of all transactions lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there's little evidence of any increase in the utilization of virtual money as a currency may be the reason there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason behind this could be simply that the market is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory attempt. It really is also possible the regulators simply don't comprehend the technology and its consequences, expecting any developments to act.
Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist anywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a particular address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the exact same way a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It truly is simply a representation of value, but there isn't any actual tangible kind of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal constraints imposed on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their wealth will be managed.
The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the character of the process by which it's transacted. All transactions on a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. After you're paid, you get paid. This is not something short term where your web visitors may dispute or desire a refunds, or employ illegal sleight of hand. In-practice, most dealers could be wise to make use of a payment processor, because of the irreversible character of crypto-currency dealings, you should make certain that safety is hard. With any kind of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or some of the numerous other altcoins, thieves and hackers might gain access to your private keys and so grab your money. However, you most likely will never get it back. It's quite crucial for you yourself to adopt some excellent safe and secure techniques when working with any cryptocurrency. This will guard you from many of these adverse functions.

It should be difficult to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the way to read these Candlestick charts! And I found these two rules to be true: having little increases is more profitable than attempting to resist up to the peak. Most day traders follow Candlestick, therefore it is better to examine publications than wait for order confirmation when you think the cost is going down. Second, there's more volatility and compensation in monies that haven't made it to the profitableness of websites like Coinwarz.
You may run a search on the web. First learn, then models, indicators and most importantly practice looking at old charts and pick out trends. When you commence to keep a trading diary screenshots and your comment/forecast. Precisely what is the best way to get confident with charts IMHO. Oh certainly, and don't fool yourself into thinking that you acquire the uptrend will never drop! Always will go down! You will discover that incremental profits are more reliable and profitable (most times)

Network Marketing – What Is TAN Island Retreats
Just a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, which means the cost a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This limits the amount of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. In addition, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Thus, even the most diligent buyer couldn't purchase all existing bitcoins. This scenario is not to suggest that markets aren't exposed to price manipulation, yet there's no need for substantial sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The slightest occasions on earth economy can affect the cost of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency volatile.
Cryptocurrency is freeing individuals to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but in addition they participate in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a transaction to be supported by the network, but where a certain number of a defined group of people agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This allows innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a transaction in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment systems, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices.
Bitcoin is the chief cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or every other regulatory agencies. As such, it is more resistant to crazy inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting money online outweigh the protection and privacy threats. Security and privacy can easily be realized by simply being clever, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership in the wallets and thus keeping you anonymous.
Since one of the oldest forms of earning money is in cash financing, it is a fact that one can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you might be needed fill in a captcha after a specific time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for seeing them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they don't have a lot of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with a reasonable investment strategy.
Anyone can become a Bitcoin miner running applications with specialized hardware. Mining applications listen for transmission transactions on the peer-to-peer network and perform the appropriate tasks to process and support these transactions. Bitcoin miners do this because they are able to make transaction fees paid by users for quicker transaction processing, and new bitcoins in existence are under denominated formulas.

The father of Otto Warmbier, the US student released from North Korean detention in a coma, says there is "no excuse" for the way his son was treated.
According to the hospital treating him, the 22-year-old suffered severe neurological injury during more than a year of detention in the isolated country, for stealing a political poster from a hotel.
"There's no excuse for the way the North Koreans treated our son and no excuse for the way they have treated so many others," Fred Warmbier told a news conference in the family's home city of Cincinnati, Ohio.
"I call on them to release the other Americans being held," he urged.
Fred and Cindy Warmbier have said their son was "terrorized and brutalized" by Kim Jong-Un's regime.
According to Kelly Martin, spokeswoman for the UC Health University of Cincinnati medical centre, "Otto is in stable condition but has suffered a severe neurological injury."
The team treating him were to deliver a full medical update later in the day.

By the order of King Aram the target quickly changed from Israel to Elisha, known to be staying in a city surrounded by hills called Dothan. By night, the Armanean army moved in and surround the city. When Elisha's servant got up the next morning to take in the day, there was the army ready to greet Elisha and the city with death. "Oh, my lord, what shall we do?" the servant asked. "Don't be afraid," the prophet answered. "Those who are with us are more than those who are with them." And Elisha prayed, "O LORD, open his eyes so he may see." Then the LORD opened the servant's eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. As the enemy came down toward him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, "Strike these people with blindness." So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.
Elisha proceeded to lead this blind army to the very doorstep of the capital of Israel at that time - Samaria. And even in these Old Testament times we see a story where the King of Israel did not destroy his enemy but fed them, took care of their needs, and sent them back to their home. For a while they stopped raiding Israel's territory. (Source Event: 2 Kings 6:8-23)
Here the supernatural meets the natural and the seen meets the unseen. Oh, to have that kind of unveiling! Can you imagine having spiritual eye-glasses that when put on allowed the user to see the kind of reality Elisha and his servant saw?! I know half of me would desire that and the other half is scared stiff to even consider putting the supposed glasses on. However, nothing is to fear when Elisha's Big Brother - God - shows Elisha and his servant the kind of troop power the Kingdom of God possesses.
The news just keeps getting better - my Big Brother is also the same as Elisha's and the same as Joshua's. Joshua was introduced to God as "commander of the army of the LORD". This pre-incarnate visit of Christ was awesome! Joshua receives the right perspective, right away. Then Joshua obeys the Lord concerning instructions on the defeat of Jericho. Here, faith in the who Joshua had seen, coupled with obedience to God's instructions equated to a flattened city and victory for God and His people. (Joshua 5:13-15---Joshua 6)
Paul delivers strength to believers in Christ when he says,
- If God is for us who can be against us. (Romans 8:31)
- in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

Cockpit boundaries for Parliament soon, says PM
Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the Cockpit boundary definition is being finalised and will be brought to Parliament shortly.
"At Cabinet, we had a special session where we went through and looked at the boundaries and we are hoping that we will be able to bring to this Parliament (shortly) —the final boundaries as settled by the Cabinet of Jamaica, and hopefully will be settled here in Parliament as well," the prime minister said in the House of Representatives on November 7.
In September, the Jamaica House Petition Portal registered a petition from an environmental organisation urging the Government to legally establish the boundaries of the Cockpit Country. The Government had committed to providing a response within 30 days.
However, a release from the Office of the Prime Minister stated that given consultation with the environmental community, as well as their concerns regarding the draft boundaries, the Government has set a revised timeline to give an official response.
The Cockpit Country is a hilly and dense area with limestone denudations in southern Trelawny. Spilling over into the adjacent parishes of St Elizabeth and parts of St James, the area has the highest diversity of plants and animals anywhere on the island. It is a gold mine for birdwatchers, plant lovers and scientists.
Numerous endemic species have thrived in the rugged environment of the Cockpit Country, flourishing in the springs, caves and the general environment.

This year's GRAMMY host on, among other
things, meeting Destiny's Child in the bathroom
For the second consecutive year, Jon Stewart
takes the reins of the GRAMMY stage to host the biggest music
show on earth, bringing with him a sardonic wit, a cadre of
avid fans, and a year's experience helming the GRAMMYs.
So what does it feel like to host the mother
of all music shows? "I was locked in a room with no windows,
and we were just writing a monologue," recalls Stewart. "So
it didn't feel much different, quite honestly, than my regular
job. Other than the fact that every now and again, I open the
door to go to the bathroom and Destiny's Child would walk by."
As host of Comedy Central's "The Daily Show
With Jon Stewart," Stewart brings his quirky vision of the world
to appreciative audiences every night. "The Daily Show" has
been winning praise and awards since Stewart took over the host's
chair in 1999. In 2001, the show received the Peabody Award
for excellence. The award recognizes distinguished achievements
in the radio and TV fields. The show also received an Emmy for
Outstanding Writing In Variety, Music Or Comedy Program.
Other than last year's GRAMMYs, Stewart's
most musical activities besides opening for Sheena Easton
in Las Vegas included two shows for MTV, including the
network's first talk show. "It was magic," says Stewart of his
time at the formerly all-music video channel. "It was very similar
to working at a party at your friend's house when his parents
weren't home. A lot of beer caps in the potted plants."
In addition to the GRAMMYs, Stewart has enjoyed
other successful side projects. On the acting front, Stewart
just wrapped filming on the Danny DeVito-directed comedy, Death
To Smoochy. The movie follows a turn in the huge Adam Sandler
hit Big Daddy. Additionally, Stewart's book, Naked
Pictures Of Famous People, made the New York Times
bestseller list. As Entertainment Weekly noted of Stewart
and the book, "You've got to be smart to be a smart-ass."
Now Jon Stewart brings his acerbic tongue,
nimble wit and awe of the contemporary music scene back again,
this time for the 44th Annual GRAMMY Awards. This could be the
start of something big.
This will be your second GRAMMYs. Just
couldn't stay away?
You know, most of the time you do something, it's like a first
date. "Heck, well, they'll never call me again." So to be asked
back, that's [like] I got to second base with the GRAMMYs.
Having hosted one GRAMMY show, what's the
secret to success?
I'll tell you, it's the intimacy of the venue. It's being up
close and personal with these 15,000 or so attendees. That's
what I really love. It's like "Unplugged" in many respects.
I think for last year you should have won
an Emmy for Best Host Signed On Five Days Before The Show.
Yes, I was kind of hoping that I'd have an excuse this year
as well. I don't know if I will.
It's a little late for Sept. 11 at this
Yes, exactly. But, I think in some respects it was almost more
enjoyable to do it that way, 'cause it really was just a whirlwind.
I mean, the truth is, I'm probably only gonna work on it, you
know, five days again this year, 'cause you know what, you don't
have time to do it before. It's gonna be like "Name That Tune":
"I could do the GRAMMYs in two days next year."
Last year seemed like it must have been
crazy trying to get it together so quickly.
It was, but the only difference was, I was locked in a room
with no windows, and we were just writing a monologue. So it
didn't feel much different quite honestly than my regular job.
Other than the fact that at the other job, I have windows. And
every now and again, I open the door to go to the bathroom or
something, and, you know, Destiny's Child would walk by. Like,
it was just weird. I'm not used to being around that environment.
Not while going to the bathroom ...
You know what? Actually, now that I think about it, I was in
the wrong room. [But I'm] just not used to the rock stars' life
of ease of getting stuff done like, if you say, "Boy
I could really just go for a coffee right now," two runners
would be, like, "Okay, you want it steamed?" You know, it's
just a different vibe.
And they treated you that way?
Yeah, they did. All you need in the music world is a laminate.
For all they know you're in U2. They don't know. You have a
laminate? Forget it. You're gold.
What was it like last year when you presided
over a historic moment when Elton and Eminem performed together?
I think by then the show was almost over so I think at that
point I'm not even sure I was watching anymore. I was just in
the back trying to, you know, get the back sweat out of my shirt.
You know, I thought it was a neat pairing, and I enjoy that
song, and I thought they did a nice job of it. But I was never
of the mind-set that, you know, my God, this wasn't Gandhi and
Nehru getting together. This wasn't a historic coupling on the
lines of your Lewis and Clarks. I mean, it was a nice musical
You don't see it differently in retrospect?
In retrospect, even less so. I remember the days when the tightened
security was because of Eminem and Elton John. Innocent
times, if you will.
I thought it was one of the funniest lines
in the show when you said you met Eminem backstage and he was
really gay.
Well, I hope so. I hope I'd have one f**king good line in the
Did he kick your ass after saying that?
Not that I'm aware of. I think the guy's got a pretty good sense
of humor. I think I just got his autograph and that was about
the end of it. Signed a baseball, and I was done.
Of the two, upcoming Oscar host Whoopi
Goldberg and Emmy host Ellen DeGeneres, who do you think is
the better singer?
Uh, I don't know who the better singer is. I just know that
I'm the most womanly. Actually, you know what? I think Ellen
actually can sing. I heard her sing on "SNL," I think, and she
does have a pretty nice voice. So I'm gonna put my vote with
What surprised you the most about hosting
the GRAMMYs last year?
I think what surprised me most about the night is that Christina
Aguilera is only 11 inches tall and could actually fit inside
that little ball that they lowered from the ceiling. What surprised
me most was how many people surround each musical act. I kept
thinking that Muhammad Ali was coming down the corridor, which
turned out to be, you know, the Blue Man Group. Every musical
act had quite a few handlers, so it was interesting. You never
actually saw the act. You just sort of saw this phalanx of,
I assume, handlers.
Which I guess is sort of the point.
I guess [laughs].
How was it working in front of music's
biggest artists and VIPs that night?
The beauty of that is I have no idea who they are. So the slightly
balding graying gentleman in the front who's frowning at me
and could crush my musical career doesn't affect me as much
because I have no music career. But, I don't think I feel nervous
about that. Connecting with an audience that's very inside as
well as trying to connect to an audience that's at home is really
the more difficult situation: how inside do you play it? And
the fact of the matter is how inside can I play it; I
really know nothing about the music industry [laughs]. So I
could try to play it inside, like, "Hey, how about those ...
seven album ... 10 percent commission ... deal, "... I really
don't know anything about it, so I'm sure I'd sound like an
But in the last year you've been reading
up on it.
I have not. I don't think I've even listened to music since
the GRAMMYs.
Have you been following the Courtney Love
You know what? I did read about that. She's suing the other
two guys from Nirvana?
That's one of them, but she's got, like,
eight lawsuits going.
Oh, is that true? That's exciting.
What was it really like to work at MTV?
Magic. No, it was very similar to working at a party at your
friend's house when his parents weren't home. A lot of beer
caps in the potted plants.
Do you think it's still that way?
I don't think so.
They've gone corporate?
I just think they went professional, as opposed to what we were
doing, which was idiotic.
I went on Amazon.com and I couldn't find
any Jon Stewart CDs.
Uh, now, under what genre did you look?
Well, mostly comedy, but I looked under
every genre.
Hmm. Well, I did something [with a] a throat band, a Mongolian
throat band that I've done some work with.
So you're actually listed in the credits?
Uh, under my Mongolian name. I did a remake obviously of Eddie
Murphy's "Party All The Time," a capella with just a slight
hint of klezmer, but that hasn't gone anywhere. Again, the beauty
of me hosting the GRAMMYs: absolutely no musical ability whatsoever.
Honestly, somebody gets out there and throws down "Chopsticks,"
I'm blown away.
What was the first record you bought?
You know what? I think the first one I got was, like, KISS
Live or something.
That's kind of cool.
Not at the time. Sweet, I think it was Sweet, remember Sweet?
"Sweet F.A.," "Ballroom Blitz"...
... "Fox On The Run"... Do you still have
I still have them, actually, the vinyls.
With, theoretically, a little more planning
time, any Billy Crystal-esque opening numbers in the works?
Billy has gone on and done song parodies of the movies that
were nominated. I will be doing movie parodies of the songs
that were nominated.
I think that's an excellent idea.
Thank you. I'm excited. Dude, let me ask you this. If I'm I
gonna be hosting, do I get named on any Dick Clark stuff? Am
I safe from that? How angry is that guy? How much show business
do you have to be in? He already owns New Year's Eve. What else
do you need?

A spate of recent news articles has highlighted the efforts of everyday North Koreans to earn a living by engaging in market activities. Adam Smith would easily recognize this as the beginnings of a free-market economy and Charles Darwin would point out that this is survival of the fittest. Even though these nascent undertakings show great promise for the North, they also face some serious obstacles. Nonetheless, given the now-obvious entrepreneurial spirit of a few bold individuals, it is possible to have have some hope that capitalism can advance from the tiny toe hold it currently has in North Korea.
The 'more' that is needed is massive national – or at least regional – infrastructure
Before the celebrations begin, though, let's take stock of the current situation. There has been a report about a few donju trying to control their respective markets by eliminating the middleman through acquiring the equipment necessary for food production and processing. Even though this is expensive, the intent of course is to increase profit by vertical integration. This may indeed bring about a modest upturn in net gain, but more is needed than just the purchase of costly equipment to achieve the best possible return on investment.
The "more" that is needed is massive national – or at least regional – infrastructure. To process goods like grains, meats and vegetables, all relatively easy to prepare for marketing, some type of processing facility is needed. Admittedly, a plant does not have to be large at the start, but any business needs a place in which to prepare its goods.
Once a place has been established, the business requires a source of power to run the machinery involved in production, or even if processing is done manually, then heat and light are needed at a minimum. The more efficient form of energy is electrical power, though coal is sometimes used as well in North Korea. A costlier way to develop electrical power is through generators running on diesel fuel or gasoline. Regardless of the source, processing requires a form of power.
And once products are ready, they must be distributed to markets; roads are essential and some method of transportation is required. By roads, I mean what most in the free world take for granted: the seemingly endless ribbons of concrete or asphalt that are in more or less adequate condition so that goods can be transported from Point A to Point B in vehicles with relative ease.
Presently, it would not be an exaggeration to say that North Korea has almost no infrastructure. Nearly all factories are state-owned or state-sanctioned, and many of those have been cannibalized for parts or are rusting from disuse. Further, even the elites of Pyongyang do not have reliable electrical power. Diesel fuel and gasoline are not abundantly available, and with sanctions, those meager supplies may become even scarcer. Moreover, nearly all roads outside of major cities are unpaved and poorly maintained.
According to the CIA World Factbook for 2015, the North produces only 21 billion kilowatt-hours of electrical power annually. By comparison, South Korea generates more 485 billion kilowatt-hours annually, 23 times as much. Other comparisons are noteworthy as well.
North Korea has only 450 miles/725 kilometers of paved roads out of a total of just 15,000 miles/24,500 kilometers for the entire country. The South, which is one-sixth smaller in area than the North, has 64,000 miles/105,000 kilometers of roads, four times as much with 83 percent paved. Moreover, private ownership of vehicles in the North is not common and inter-city private shipping is accomplished by mostly ad hoc arrangements. In contrast, vehicles of all types exist, fuel is abundant, and shipping is hardly ever an issue in the South.
Additionally, Pyongyang can boast only 3,200 miles/5,250 kilometers of rail lines – and its trains do not operate dependably for a variety of reasons. While Seoul has only slightly more track laid, its trains do run as scheduled.
All of these factors combine to severely restrict production in the North. Goods therefore are limited to whatever area can be covered by bicycle, ox cart or rudimentary truck over rough roads. In many cases, this means products, whatever they might be, get only local distribution, and there is little opportunity to improve this situation.
Factories are needed, yet erecting buildings these days is a risky endeavor
In order for donju capitalism to survive and flourish, a modern infrastructure must be built. This includes heavy industry projects like dams for hydroelectric power generation – but such projects must be accomplished with careful attention to engineering standards and certainly not constructed at Kim Jong Un's dictated speed.
Factories are needed, yet erecting buildings these days is a risky endeavor, given the number of collapsed structures lately – and the private sector likely does not yet have the capital for such expensive projects anyway. However, there are state-owned factories that have been abandoned due to lack of power, depletion of machinery sold on the black market, or are simply rusting away from lack of maintenance. If deals with the state could be struck, perhaps these existing buildings could be renovated and then repurposed for leasing to entrepreneurs.
Development of a distribution system is a huge challenge, and the difficulties of dam construction also confront the creation of highway systems and other surface roads. Nonetheless, for capitalism in the North to develop fully, raw materials must be easily procurable and finished goods must be able to reach beyond the local area. As different suppliers and producers go into new markets, competition will certainly increase and only the better and cheaper materials and products will survive.
Everything comes down to money. Infrastructure done properly is enormously expensive, but money on that scale is non-existent in the North of today. Building the number of dams needed to supply the required amount of electricity is an intimidating endeavor. Paving hundreds, if not thousands, of miles of roads is equally daunting. The emerging merchant class is not up to the task, and unfortunately neither is the government.
The regime has neither the expertise to have these massive projects done by slave labor nor the financial wherewithal to contract out such endeavors. North Korea does not even have the ability to pay qualified laborers with goods-in-kind: the state Public Distribution System, responsible for distributing food rations to its citizens, is all but defunct. No one wishing to eat relies upon it anymore.
Some sort of Plan B is needed, and one possibility is to seek outside investment, undeniably a risky commitment of money by any entity choosing to do business with the North. Further, there are various political constraints and international sanctions that act to discourage if not outright prohibit such endeavors. It is next to impossible for any foreign company to engage in such projects inside North Korea these days.
Even if such projects were permissible, the question then becomes whether they are practical. Pyongyang does not have a confidence-inspiring record of dealings with outside investors. For example, the Egyptian telecommunications company Orascom is experiencing great difficulty repatriating its earnings from collaborating with the North in developing its mobile phone network.
South Korean projects such as the Diamond Mountain Resort on the southeastern coast of North Korea was closed and all investment lost when a North Korean soldier killed a South Korean tourist. More recently, Seoul abandoned its Kaesong Industrial Complex just north of the DMZ after a number of provocations by Pyongyang. Even the Chinese are wary of business ventures in the North.
Sanctions will have to be removed and conditions in North Korea will have to improve substantially before most Western capitalists will consider investing in North Korea. Until then, the donju will have to continue with their own brand of entrepreneurial spirit in the face of adversity. Let's wish them luck in overcoming these considerable obstacles.

COUPEVILLE — A man beat a dog with a pickax and shot it to death Sunday, because it had killed a chicken at a Coupeville home, according to the Island County Sheriff's Office.
A 911 caller told dispatchers a man was beating a dog around 4:30 p.m. in the 900 block of Gainsborough Road. Deputies believe the man, 36, was angry because the dog had killed a chicken in the neighborhood. He followed the Bernese mountain dog to its home, where he beat the dog with a pickax before shooting it with a .22-caliber rifle, said sheriff's detective Ed Wallace.
The dead chicken did not belong to the shooter, and it's unclear why he reacted in the way he did, Wallace added. The man was arrested for investigation of first-degree animal cruelty, second-degree malicious mischief and unlawful possession of a firearm.

Also in Friday's Howard section, a story on the trial of Joh Daniel Kelly should have said the prosecution requested a postponement because a witness was not available.
The Baltimore Sun regrets the errors.
Prosecutors will be permitted to use DNA evidence in trials of two men charged with multiple counts of rape, a Howard Circuit Court judge has ruled.
The attorney for the two men, who are charged in separate cases, argued the evidence is unreliable and should be barred because it would violate their constitutional rights.
