As I've said before, its often good to honor the user's international settings, which they can set using the intl.cpl (Regional and Language Options) control panel.
Sometimes it is interesting to be able to configure these settings programmatically. Some of you've discovered their location in the registry, but that's generally not recommended because it might leave some items only half set. For those users that need command-line control of the international settings and overrides, there's a document at http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/vista/vista_tools/vista_command_line_international_configuration.mspx that describes how to do this.
Its expected that this would be useful for providing settings to several machines, such as if your corporation preferred the use of a 24 hour clock or a specific date format. Using the command line interface doesn't prevent the user from changing them, but it does provide a good way of setting a machine's initial configuration. There are some group policy configurations (see http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/restrict.mspx, although its old)
In my opinion its usually best to let the user choose their regional settings, or to provide the initial settings that the user can then change. It is worth noting that for various reasons the group policy settings don't prevent a knowledgable user from changing their settings using other methods (like by changing the registry directly).

Helen Mirren believes Hollywood's sexual harassment scandal has been brewing for a number of years.
The veteran actress has spoken openly about her support for campaigns encouraging women within the film industry to share their experiences of abuse. Though Helen has stated she's never been a victim of abuse since breaking into Hollywood, she claims that the Time's Up and #MeToo movements result from years of the growing discontent shared amongst female film stars.
"I think of it more of a sort of volcanic explosion than a tipping point," she said in an interview on U.K. television show Lorraine. "It's like this volcano that's been bursting and bursting and little cracks of smoke and fire have been coming out from time to time, finally the magma is appearing and it's flowing down the sides of the hill. Certainly about time, definitely."
The scandal started to gain momentum after producer Harvey Weinstein was accused of sexual misconduct by a huge number of actresses, including Gwyneth Paltrow, Jennifer Lawrence and most recently Uma Thurman, who accused Weinstein of assaulting her in a London hotel room 25 years ago. Although Helen feels that much progress has been made, she insists it's not yet enough and "(doesn't) understand why it's taken so long to get here." However, the Oscar-winner highlights one possible reason as the lack of self-confidence amongst her female peers in the film world.
"Self-confidence is such a difficult thing to find," she mused, before going on to admit she suffers from nerves before attending red carpet events.
"It's a feeling of a lack of self-worth maybe and I think women in particular maybe suffer from this."
However, the Red actress concluded by sharing what she believes to be the best way to gain confidence.
""Fake it! Fake it and just continue faking it until weirdly it can become true. Faking it is very important," she said.

|Alan Moore portrait by Mal Earl.
Excerpt from an interview conducted by Josh Ray and published on Super Weird Substance site in March 2017. Here you can read the complete piece.
Alan Moore: "I think imagination is one of the single most important qualities, as individuals or as a culture, and certainly has a massive part to play in what happens next. I would caution, though, that imagination in itself can never be enough, and that it is important to understand that imagination only functions perfectly as part of a balanced and integrated system. With only our imagination, it is easy to become lost in fantasies, delusions, crappy superhero movies or dreams of what it will be like when we win the lottery, often to the detriment of our actual reality. As individuals, and thus presumably as a culture, we need to be certain that our imaginings are balanced and modified by both our compassion and our intellect. Then, when they have achieved that state of balance, we must use our applied Will to force them into manifest, material existence in the physical world. Yes, this is Trojan Horse kabbalah and magic, but it's also the way that everything comes into being, be that a piece of music, a book or a social movement."

Bush Has Quietly Tripled Aid to Africa
Sunday, December 31, 2006
President Bush's legacy is sure to be defined by his wielding of U.S. military power in Afghanistan and Iraq, but there is another, much softer and less-noticed effort by his administration in foreign affairs: a dramatic increase in U.S. aid to Africa.
The president has tripled direct humanitarian and development aid to the world's most impoverished continent since taking office and recently vowed to double that increased amount by 2010 -- to nearly $9 billion.
The moves have surprised -- and pleased -- longtime supporters of assistance for Africa, who note that because Bush has received little support from African American voters, he has little obvious political incentive for his interest.
"I think the Bush administration deserves pretty high marks in terms of increasing aid to Africa," said Steve Radelet, a senior fellow at the Center for Global Development.
Bush has increased direct development and humanitarian aid to Africa to more than $4 billion a year from $1.4 billion in 2001, according to the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. And four African nations -- Sudan, Ethiopia, Egypt and Uganda -- rank among the world's top 10 recipients in aid from the United States.
Beyond increasing aid to Africa, Bush has met with nearly three dozen African heads of state during his six years in office. He visited Africa in his first term, and aides say he hopes to make a return visit next year.
Although some activists criticize Bush for not doing more to end the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan, others credit him for playing a role in ending deadly conflicts in Liberia, the Congo and other parts of Sudan. Meanwhile, Bush has overseen a steady rise in U.S. trade with Africa, which has doubled since 2001.
"He should be known for increasing -- doubling development assistance and tripling it to Africa after a period in which U.S. development assistance was essentially flat for decades," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said in a recent interview with the Associated Press. "He should be known for the largest single investment in AIDS and malaria, the biggest health investment of any government program ever."
To many longtime Africa supporters, all of this is surprising for a president who is often criticized as lacking curiosity about much of the world and who heads a political party traditionally skeptical of the efficacy of foreign aid.
But attacking African poverty has become a growing priority of some of the religious groups at the core of Bush's political base, and some lawmakers credit them with stoking the president's interest in the subject.
"The evangelical community raised the awareness of HIV and AIDS to the president," said Rep. Donald M. Payne (N.J.), the top-ranking Democrat on the House International Relations subcommittee on Africa. "When the Bush administration came in, HIV and AIDS were not an overwhelming priority. Now we have seen a total metamorphosis."
Current and former White House aides and independent analysts say Bush's interest in Africa is rooted in the numerous humanitarian crises that continue to bedevil the continent, as well as in the growing importance of Africa in a world increasingly linked by economics and terrorist threats.

Last week I decided to finally replace part of my Usenet time by something more productive, starting today. I had decided to use the first hour after breakfast for studying instead of reading Usenet posts and doing other things on the computer that I considered not really productive. I had planned the first hour after breakfast of the first 4 days of the week as follows:
So this morning, after breakfast I sat down at the dinner table with a print out of the "Python Tutorial - release 2.4" by Guido van Rossum and Fred L. Drake, Jr. (editor) in order to study the Python language.
I had read the print out of the Python tutorial before, quite some time ago, and also read a major part of "Dive into Python" by Mark Pilgrim, taking notes while doing so. But this time I wanted to do things a bit more serious meaning not reading a chapter at a time in bed at the end of a busy day.
And it worked out quite well. I started out in chapter 2 "An Informal Introduction to Python" and after about one hour I finished with section 4.6 "Defining Functions". It was quite easy to read since I had already some understanding of Python and quite a background in programming in general. However, I know that it will take me many months to get fluent in the Python programming language. One doesn't learn a programming language in 21 days, notwithstanding all the promising book titles one can see in the computer books section in bookshops.
Some might wonder why I decided on learning Python. I already am very skilled with Perl, and both Python and Perl are considered scripting languages, and hence sometimes seen as being similar in a way.
I have several reasons for picking Python, of course, and being a scripting language, like Perl, might be one of them albeit a minor one. More important to me is that I like a lot what I've seen so far of Python. Also, Python is used to automate (script) things in Blender. And as you probably have noticed, Blender is planned for Wednesday.
Sometime ago I made a list of programming language candidates I wanted to learn: C#, PHP, and Python were in the top 3, I only had to figure out the order...
I have a kind of hate/love relation with PHP (some would say mostly hate, but that was more the case when PHP was young). PHP has copied a lot of ideas from Perl, but some ideas were not copied, often for the wrong reason, while others shouldn't have been copied for a good reason. So PHP often looks to me like wrong Perl, which makes it hard to me to use this language. Even worse is the huge amount of extremely badly written PHP code I have seen so far, often managing to beat Perl in unreadability. And I know that this says a lot about the programmer, and next to nothing about the programming language. Yet, as a freelance programmer, I do maintain projects written by others and I am very afraid to be asked to maintain PHP projects.
As of C#: I already am quite fluent in Java. And I am still unsure if I should catch up with Java and extend my knowledge, or learn C#, which has a lot in common with Java. I decided to start with Python, also because IronPython makes it possible to integrate with Microsoft's .NET Framework and use .NET libraries available, while maintaining full compatibility with the Python language. So I might be able to study (a part of) .NET while extending my Python knowledge. Sounds like a good choice to me.

Australia is toughening up its immigration laws – Irish workers without third level qualifications or a second language will find it harder to emigrate down under.
The Irish Times has reported that Australian authorities are to bring in new rules designed at changing the profile of immigrants looking for a new start.
As a result university graduates and professionals who are fluent in a second language will find it easier than ever to move to Australia on work permits.
But skilled trades-people, particularly in the building industry, are going to find it harder from this summer on to live the Aussie dream.
Those without a recognized education qualification could even find themselves ineligible for a visa under the new system which comes into effect on July 1st.
The Times reports that workers in about 200 different occupations are awarded "points" towards gaining a visa depending on the shortage in Australia of workers in their field.
Under the new proposal, applicants will still have to work in one of the designated occupations to qualify but will no longer be awarded points for their job.
Instead, points will be awarded for higher educational qualifications, language skills and relevant work experience.
Irish applicants aged between 25 and 32 with a third-level degree in one of the designated occupations would meet the new points criteria and older or younger applicants could still be eligible if they hold a PhD.
The paper claims that applicants with a recognized apprenticeship qualification will now need to have three years' work experience in their designated occupation or one year's experience if it was completed in Australia.
Applicants who have no degree or recognized apprenticeship are unlikely to meet the criteria unless they have eight years' relevant work experience outside Australia or five years in Australia.
Those without formal education qualifications will find permits hard to come by even though there are points for sponsorship by a family or local government in Australia, and for having a second language, those without formal qualifications would find it difficult to amass enough points.
An estimated 2,200 construction workers from Ireland were awarded skilled migrant resident visas to Australia in 2010.
"Come July 1st many of those workers who would have had no problem in obtaining a visa last year will now be turned away," Edwina Shanahan of www.visafirst.com told the Irish Times..

I had great fun playing with the papers from the "Circa 1934" paper kit and will have to buy the embellishment pack now that matches thee papers. Although Jessica is more in to scrapbooking, these papers are easily adapted to card making but I am now determined to do more scrapping and have an album on the go at the moment for my sister .... watch this space.
My first card:
I used lots of little offcuts and layered to create my background panel. Using my nesties I cut a panel and then used a Marianne Design die to cut a butterfly aperture. This was mounted on to a Tim Holtz ticket. I inked the tag and stamped the word "Bliss" at the top. I have also used the sentiment to stamp on the ticket.
To cover all my joins/layers, I used a piece of ribbon (originally off some packaging); knot at one end and decorative edge at the other. Finally a huge Flora Doodles flower to add an extra dash of colour.
I am entering my card in to the following challenges:
Art with no boundaries - anything goes
2 sisters - flower(s)
I {Heart} to stamp - sketch
Delicious Doodles - loads of layers
Well gotta go as I am absolutely shattered and desperately need some "shut eye". Will catch up with everyone tomorrow,

.abr files are brush files used in Photoshop and Gimp. However there is no generic default software to view what the brushes look like in an .abr file. You can find and download many free brushes for Photoshop or Gimp. These are often encapsulated in .abr file types. However over time, it is usually not possible to remember what the brushes look like when all you can see is the .abr text name.
There are a number of apps/plugins for viewing .abr files (free and purchased) that you can download. After searching and testing, I have chosen BrushView QuickLook Plugin. It is free and easy to use.
- Download the plugin from BrushView QuickLook Plugin
- Unzip the downloaded .zip file (which will be in your Downloads folder)
- This will create an unzipped folder "BrushViewQL" (This will also be in your Downloads folder).
There will be 3 files in the "BrushViewQL" folder.
The "Readme.txt" file will contain Installation as well as Usage instructions. So you can read that. But I will record my steps here for completeness.
- To install the BrushView plugin, it is the .qlgenerator file that you will need. According to the instructions, there are 2 locations where you can install the .qlgenerator file. I chose to install it where any user on my Mac can use it. So I moved the .qlgenerator file to /Library/QuickLook:
Once the BrushViewQL.qlgenerator file is in the QuickView folder, you can use it.
- How to use the BrushViewQL brush viewer:
to view any brush .abr file, go to where you have .abr files on your computer. (If you have .abr files, you would have downloaded them and stored them somewhere.) Select an .abr file and press the space bar to view the brushes in the .abr file.
Tip: you can delete the downloaded files in your Downloads folder if you like. I tend to keep mine in an archival folder. That way I can find them again should I need to refer to the ReadMe.txt notes. But it is a good idea to delete/move them from your Downloads folder so that that folder does not become too messy and crowded over time.

This is a later version of me just a few years ago:
(U.S.S. Laffey, Mount Pleasant, SC)
I'm off for a few days, taking a trip up to Buffalo New York to participate in a working field day aboard the Navy destroyer, USS The Sullivans (DD-537) which is now a museum ship.
I used to do this every year as a member of the destroyer veterans organization; TinCan Sailors.
(me, waving from the back row)
Most people are unaware of the fact that the third largest fleet (currently) in the world, is the historic fleet, that is, ships of all nations (mostly U.S.) that are preserved as museum ships.
I've been helping out as a field day participant since 1996, first aboard the Gearing class destroyer, U.S.S. Joseph P. Kennedy (DD-850) in Fall River Mass.
It was a real deja vu weekend, walking the passageways of a ship that was utterly identical to my second ship (back when I was in the Navy) the U.S.S. Higbee (DD-806). It was both a little weird and a lot of fun.
Closer to home (when I lived in Michigan) was the U.S.S. LST 393.
This amphibious ship was part of the Normandy invasion and then in civilian life was converted over to a Great Lakes car-carrier. I think the 393 is still undergoing a very long process to return to WWII livery as a museum ship in Muskegon Michigan.
Here I am doing overhead work in the well-deck of the 393...
and chipping paint on the pilot house door:
I've also helped out on the U.S.S. Laffey (DD-724) in Mt. Pleasant South Carolina...
the sister-ship and spittin' image of my first ship the U.S.S. Dehaven (DD-727). I did two field day weekends aboard the Laffey and made the acquaintance of one of the finest guys I've ever known, retired senior chief petty officer Vic Fletcher, who has since gone to his celestial reward.
Vic was the Chief engineer at Patriot's Point just outside of Charleston. He was responsible for the upkeep of, among other things, a Coast Guard cutter, a submarine. a destroyer, and an aircraft carrier; all museum ships. He was really outstanding at what he did. As a crew boss he worked his volunteers really hard, and then fed them really well. You never found yourself with nothing to do for want of instructions or tools. Vic really knew how to maximize the efforts of his volunteers.
That's Vic in the center of this jolly group, Jim Sehey (bottom left) is a National Park Service Volunteer at Cowpens (I think). Vic actually served aboard the Laffey when they both were on active duty.
Here's my favorite shot of Vic as I was leaving the Laffey. Vic is on a bollard, what he referred to as his "favorite seat".
This is the last time I saw one of the nicest guys I ever knew.

This is the last time I saw one of the nicest guys I ever knew.
Aside from the endless sea-stories, catfish fries, adult beverage consumption, and general fun, an enormous amount of preservation work occurs during these working field days. Imagine yourself the curator of an historic vessel and every year thirty guys show up with pickup trucks full of tools, materials, and often spare parts (don't ask) to spend three intensive days chipping, painting, welding, patching, splicing, calibrating, and generally putting your ship right. Its like getting a major grant! When the weekend is over the shipmates return to their far-flung homes and the ship is always in much better material condition than it was prior to that whirl-wind of elbow grease.
Check out the before and after shots of this interior bulkhead. This is the "veggie locker", part of the galley on the Sullivans. Rust and rot were having their way with this space:
Three days later it looked shipyard new, This is typical of the sweat and attention to detail that these veterans apply to the task:
Yes, there's some clowning around by the occasional doofus(that's the battleship Massachusetts in the background, also a museum ship). But everybody else works very, very hard. That's Retired Chief Boatswains Mate, Ron Black (below) making a splice.
Its a real treat to call a guy like this "shipmate" even if only for one weekend a year.
I always really enjoyed these events. It felt great to be doing something so worthwhile, alongside such a great bunch of guys, on these remarkable steel veterans of so many oceans.
However, I've taken the past four years off as I redirected my life. other things, including relocating to Maryland and starting a whole new life and career intervened. And that life has been very, very good.
But now, I've got a hankerin' to get back aboard for a weekend of work and bullshooting with other former destroyermen.
Here is part one of a YouTube I produced on the subject. This, as well as part two , will give you a really good idea of what these events are all about. I hope you enjoy watching them as much as I enjoyed making them.
I'll post my next helmet entry Monday (Aug 25)
Until then I leave you with this:
That's odd...my beard used to be much darker than my helmet...must be the camera.

They are the reply of the Spartan King Leonidas to Xerxes, the Persian Emperor who came with 600,000 of the fiercest fighting troops in the world to conquer and invade Greece.
When Xerxes offered to spare the lives of Leonidas, his 300 personal bodyguards and a handful of Thebans and others who volunteered to defend their country, if they would lay down their arms, Leonidas shouted these two words back.
They mean, "Come and get them!" They live on today as the most notable quote in military history.

Sponsorships competition
Towing the Line
Sponsorships picking up steam as healthcare competition increases!!
The relentlessly evolving health care industry continues to create new sponsorship superfluity for nearly every type of property. #sponsorshipscompetition
Over the years health engagement has shifted the focus from business-to-business (B2B) sponsorships toward more business-to-consumer (B2C) sponsorships. Today we're seeing health insurance companies and hospitals double-down on sponsorships to engage consumers and differentiate their products and services. Basically with healthcare, the big buzzword is "consumerism".
Companies ranging from hospitals, health insurances to the newest segment like health technology are jumping into the sponsorship waters. People around the world are more empowered to make healthcare decisions for themselves and they care more about the companies behind the products they're consuming.
Heathcare industry is expanding their sponsorships to reach new audiences. In emerging economies like India healthcare services and products are often paid out-of-pocket by the consumer. Consumers are taking a more active role in their care and that definitely applies to health insurance as well.
Health Insurance
With millions of consumers now required to purchase their products, insurers are increasingly using sponsorship to build preference and, like nearly every other segment of the health care category, encourage healthy lifestyles. An assurance of trust and credibility is what consumers are definitely seeking today, which means consumers consider attributes beyond clinical benefit in the buying decision, such as the reputation of the company or recommendations of friends and family. In an interview with Financial Express Paul Magill, Senior Vice President, Chief Marketing Officer, Abbot says " You will see associations with events which illustrate and demonstrate the core purpose and character of Abbott, for example, our sponsorship of the recently concluded TEDx Gateway in Mumbai. The TED movement is all about making great ideas accessible and sparking conversation with a belief in the power of ideas to change attitudes and lives. For more than 125 years, Abbott has been doing exactly that – inspiring breakthroughs in health that would lead to people living longer and better lives".
Similar to health insurance, hospitals are increasingly using sponsorship to build awareness and drive preference in the wake of the Affordable Care Act and escalating health care costs. Increased competition has resulted in new partnerships with nearly every type of property as hospitals look to reach new audiences—and in many cases a broader audience—with their health message. Today the hospitals aim to establish and proliferate the idea of a healthy lifestyle, accrete a point of differentiation through sponsorships. They seek to exhibit and furnish community involvement.
While the companies offer different products and services, they all share one common trait: the use of data and technology to improve health. Seamlessly integrating Labs, Hospitals, Pharmacies, Blood Banks, Radiology, Medical Devices (IoT), Insurance Companies, and Accounting resulting in increased revenues and operational efficiency, cloud computing is bringing to life the concept of 'Internet of Things' or a connected universe for the entire healthcare sector.


text: Assalamualaikum… here I want to share with you all about one story. Here we go "A story tells that 2 friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face…the one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand 'today my best friend slapped me in the face'… they kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped got stuck in the mud and started drowning, but the friend saved him. After he recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone 'today my best friend saved my life'… the friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him 'after I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you wrote on a stone, why??' the other friend replied ' when someone hurts us we should write it down in sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it away. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it in stone where no wind can ever erase it"… very morality story. We and the only we know where we wrote about our friends… end of that part, now we already at the end of this semester and will face our true enemy(final exam)… come my fellow friends, it is time for us to fight for our freedom. The clock has ticked, prepare yourself, arms the armor and sharpen your sword. Make sure our enemy will be conquer. Love you all and good luck for the rest of your life. May Allah bless you.

Lazer hair removal is one process that you can undergo to remove excess hair from your body. You can have hair removal for your upper lip, back, chest, legs, and other areas. Laser hair removal is a safe procedure to undergo although there can be complications for some individuals. If you have never had the procedure performed before you should read all the literature the doctor offers you in order to find out the proper information for before, during, and after the procedure. The laser is going to enter under your skin to kill the hair producing cells for a while.
Laser removal of hair generally lasts for several months so that you do not have to shave that area. Your hair producing cells will re- grow after a time. Of course if you continue the procedure you will find that eventually the cells will not reproduce hair. If the laser is held over one area of skin for too long you can effectively kill the pigment in your skin and have issues, to see that this doesn't happen the laser removal hair personnel are trained in the equipment and certified.
To find lazer hair removal facilities you can search online, in your local phone book, or speak with another person you know had the procedure completed. When you are looking for a facility you should interview the staff, and visit the clinic before undergoing the procedure. You want to make sure that you are in a place that offers top notch service, clean equipment and of course the proper training. Once you feel comfortable with the facility the doctor on staff who will perform the procedure will walk you through every step and how often you can have the procedure done in order to permanently remove the offending hair.
The procedure is an outpatient one therefore you will be released to go home after the procedure is completed and you will be given instructions on what to look for regarding the hair removal process. You will need to follow instructions and keep your skin away from potentially irritating creams for a few days.

When funding long range goals, many people feel they must choose between their money and their values. That's because in choosing funds and stocks, investors often assume that putting moral values first will put a drag on portfolio returns.
Ironically, with the dramatic decline of the energy sector in preceding quarters, this assumption has proven false. Returns for some of the leading ETFs and funds aimed at socially conscious investors actually exceeded common stock indexes like the S&P 500 for 2017, as an example.
Whether this outperformance may continue in the future is anyone's guess. But, the anomaly does open the door to questions about whether investment choices made with a social conscience may indeed still make money for the investors concerned.
I will be taking on the topic of social investing at an upcoming seminar Saturday, March 24, from 10-11 a.m., at Venture Pad, 1020 B Street, San Rafael. See registration link below.
Funds and ETFs that are branded as socially conscious may g o further, to embrace only holdings that fit defined criteria for environmental, social justice, and employment standards.
While a company may be classified as highly rated for environmental, social and governance, many more companies are actively implementing internal strategies to align stated company principles and the company practices and ethics. Good ESG (environmental, social and governance) ratings have been linked to good performance, for these companies.
Mutual fund companies active in this space vary in their level of engagement with the companies they invest in. Some work with the companies they have chosen to help them do better.
A recent article in Forbes Link compares various fund companies (prospectuses upon request) and their offerings according to style and performance. While the article does not assess exchange traded funds, that is, index versions of ESG compliant companies, investors can and should compare these often lower cost alternatives.

MADRID (Reuters) - Moving a 17-meter (55.76 feet) high monument to Christopher Columbus 100 meters down the road is how the Spanish government is interpreting the advice of John Maynard Keynes.
The economist once argued it would be preferable to pay workers to dig holes in the ground, and fill them in again, rather than allowing them to stand idle and deprive the economy of the multiplier effect of their wages.
So Spain's government is paying for the return of the concrete-based monument, topped by a three-meter marble statue of the Italian explorer, to a roundabout in the middle of Madrid's Plaza Colon — exactly where it had stood for almost 100 years until 1973.
Plan E (Spanish Plan for Economic Stimulus and Employment) is part of Spain's equivalent to the "New Deal" U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt devised in response to The Great Depression, a plan partly drawn up by Keynes himself.
Moving the Columbus monument will take 65 workers until the end of the year. For them, the project gives Spain a little time to find a longer-term solution to unemployment that is rising faster than in any other European Union country.
"What will they do once the monument has been moved?" said one worker, surveying the chaos in the central Madrid plaza amid preparations for the move and another Plan E project, construction of a new underground car park.
"Well, I guess they'll have to hope for a Plan F, then a Plan G," he said, on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to speak to the media.
The Socialist government has been enthusiastically Keynesian in its response to the steep downturn: many of Madrid's major streets are now a labyrinth of roadworks, negotiated only with difficulty by pedestrians and traffic.
But the scheme shows taxpayers and lenders subsidizing a job creation plan in the absence of a deeper overhaul of an outdated jobs market, as unions threaten a general strike if workers' rights are tampered with.
The stop-gap public works plan highlights Spain's need to find new sources of jobs and growth after the global crisis snuffed out its decade-long residential construction boom.
The government says stimulus spending has begun to contain jobless numbers, which rose by more than 39,000 people in April after monthly increases above 100,000 since late 2008.
The European Commission says unemployment is heading for 20.5 percent in 2010 after the end of the construction spree. At its 2007 peak, that saw Spain build and finance more homes than Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom combined.
Spain's 8 billion euro ($10.91 billion) public works scheme will give around 400,000 people work, albeit temporarily, and kick-start the economy with 30,000 projects from shuffling the street furniture in Madrid to laying bicycle paths in Galicia.
The company charged with the Columbus work is blue-chip constructor OHL, which declined to comment on the project, but the site worker said the company had won the contract on condition it employ out-of-work builders.
"Half our team has been taken from the unemployment office," he said.
G-20 nations — which account for over 80 percent of global gross national product — are spending an estimated $700 billion in 2009 to ward off the deepest slump since Roosevelt's day.
"The question is how to balance the short term 'hole digging' approach with investments which may not provide so much bang for the buck in the short term, but are good for long-term productivity," said Eswar Prasad, Senior Professor of Trade Policy at Cornell University. "Everyone, from China to the United States is grappling for that balance."
Plan E does not address Spain's structural problems, but may defer confrontation over them. Even during the economic boom, when Spain was growing far faster than its European peers, unemployment stood at over 8 percent.
"The crisis is highlighting how badly the labor market runs," said Jose Luis Escriva, head economist at BBVA. "The Plan E must not overlook these problems."
Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero sees a future of "more computers and fewer bricks" with technology-driven, green growth from sectors like wind power, which at present provides only 0.35 percent of gross domestic product.
Before that can happen, economists say Spain needs to follow the route Germany took with structural economic reforms to raise competitiveness and compete globally.
For example, costs of making a long-term employee redundant in Spain are among the highest in the world, according to the OECD: a disincentive to make permanent hires during the crisis.
One third of workers are on temporary, low-protection contracts, the highest rate in the European Union: their jobs are often low-skilled and disposable during economic downturns.
"At the edge of the abyss there are two reactions," said Prasad. "Use this as a time for dramatic change or do whatever it takes ... to get out of the hole and deal with the big problems later.
"It does seem that many economies are taking the latter route," Prasad said.
Spain's stimulus plan is worth nearly 5 percent of its gross domestic product and includes popular measures such as a 400-euro tax rebate for all taxpayers and the 'Baby Check' — 2,500 euros for each newborn.
They have cost Spain 16.5 billion euros, but few economists believe they have done much to stoke demand.
"These measures burned through the Spanish public accounts surplus ... and 400 euros doesn't buy you a car, nor pay your mortgage," said Robert Tornabell, Professor of Finance at Barcelona business school ESADE.
The short-term infrastructure and tax spending have helped turn a 2.2 percent public accounts surplus in 2007 to an expected 9.8 percent deficit by the end of 2010, according to the European Commission: the second-biggest fiscal deterioration of any euro zone country after Ireland.
Rising public finance pressures led ratings agency Moodys in February to add Spain to its list of "vulnerable" nations with triple-A sovereign debt ratings and Standard and Poor's downgraded Spain to "AA+" in January.
Besides the higher cost of borrowing to fund the stimulus, there are concerns about the size of the plan and its slow implementation: "This plan is too little, too late. In the time they've taken to implement it, the economy's destroyed more jobs than the plan hopes to create," said Tornabell.
Zapatero has insisted any labor reforms must be reached through talks between business lobby groups and unions.
He faces pressure to lead, rather than administer talks, after unemployment almost doubled to 4 million in the first quarter from a year earlier and the opposition Popular Party — which has drawn ahead of the government in some opinion polls — calls for spending cuts, tax breaks and reforms.
"If a system can't bring unemployment down below 8 percent during strong economic growth, there must be a problem with the system," head of Spain's Chamber of Commerce Javier Gomez Navarro told a news conference this month.
Columbus has a whole new Spain to discover.

It's no surprise to folks in Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas and other drought-stricken areas: winter-wheat production is down significantly from beginning projections.
Lots of folks plowed wheat ground under, some took a stab at harvest if they had their own combines, and custom crews either stayed home or close to home.
Officially, World Ag Supply and Demand Estimates (WASDE) projects the total U.S. wheat crop to be down 59 million bu., based on lower winter-wheat yield. Wheat feed and residual use has been lowered by 25 million bu.; ending wheat stocks are lowered 32 million bu. to 416 million. The projected price range for 2006-2007 has been raised by a dime to $3.60 to $4.20/bu.
The word is still out on corn, although emergence is on par with last year and 4% ahead of the five-year average, according to the National Ag Statistics Service (NASS) for the week ending June 4. All told, 71% of the crop is reported to be in good or excellent condition, compared to 64% last year.
Unsurprisingly, the heat continues to depress pasture conditions compared to last year. NASS says 46% is rated at good or excellent compared to 57% last year. More telling, 25% is rated as poor or very poor compared to 13% last year.
It's worth noting, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC)that the last five five-year periods (2001-2005, 2000-2004, 1999-2003, 1998-2002, 1997-2001) were the warmest five-year periods in the last 111 years. The next warmest five-year period was in the 1930s (1930-34), when the western U.S. suffered from an extended drought coupled with anomalous warmth. The warmest U.S. year on record was 1998, where the record warmth was concentrated in the Northeast as compared with the Northwest in 1934.
For the week ending June 4, according to NASS:
Pasture -- States with the worst pasture conditions -- at least 30% of the acreage rated poor or worse -- include: Alabama (30%); Arizona (78%); Colorado (67%); Florida (45%); Kansas (30%); Nebraska (38%); New Mexico (79%); Oklahoma (37%); and Texas (51%).
On the wet side of the fence, states with the most lush pasture conditions -- at least 40% rated good or better -- include: Alabama (40%); Arkansas (56%); California (80%); Idaho (90%); Illinois (81%); Indiana (83%); Iowa (76%); Kentucky (70%); Maine (98%); Maryland (48%); Michigan (72%); Minnesota (74%); Mississippi (43%); Montana (58%); Nevada (88%); New York (83%); North Carolina (60%); North Dakota (49%); Ohio (71%); Oregon (74%); Pennsylvania (57%); South Dakota (45%); Tennessee (74%); Utah (79%); Washington (74%); West Virginia (47%); and Wisconsin (78%).
- Corn -- 94% of the acreage has emerged, about even with last year but 5% ahead of the normal pace.
- Soybeans -- 89% is planted, the same as last year and 8% ahead of the five-year average; 70% has emerged, which is 3% ahead of last year and 12% ahead of the average.
- Winter Wheat -- 88% was at or beyond the heading stage. That's 2% ahead of last year and 4% ahead of the normal pace. Harvest has occurred on 9% of the acreage, 6% ahead of last year and 4% ahead of normal. That happens when you don't have as much crop worth harvesting. Spring Wheat -- 97% of the crop has emerged, compared to 95% last year and 89% for the five-year average.
- Barley -- Emergence advanced to 93%, the same as last year and 5% ahead of normal.
- Sorghum -- 66% of the acreage is sown, which is 5% ahead of last year and 1% ahead of average.
- Oats -- Heading advanced to 28% of the acreage, the same as last year and the average.

What's the difference between "data" and "information?"To read the entire post, see: http://blogs.census.gov/2010census/2011/05/designed-data-and-organic-data.html
We're entering a world where data will be the cheapest commodity around, simply because the society has created systems that automatically track transactions of all sorts. For example, internet search engines build data sets with every entry, Twitter generates tweet data continuously, traffic cameras digitally count cars, scanners record purchases, RFID's signal the presence of packages and equipment, and internet sites capture and store mouse clicks. Collectively, the society is assembling data on massive amounts of its behaviors. Indeed, if you think of these processes as an ecosystem, it is self-measuring in increasingly broad scope. Indeed, we might label these data as "organic," a now-natural feature of this ecosystem.
Information is produced from data by uses. Data streams have no meaning until they are used. The user finds meaning in data by bringing questions to the data and finding their answers in the data...
In an era when there are more sources of data available than ever before, we analysts are challenged to use that data well and in innovative ways. In recent years I have also found that simply because lots of data exist, and the public knows that lots of data exist, analysts are expected to HAVE everything and to KNOW everything with an immediacy that is often impractical and sometimes impossible. In other words, expected to synthesize "information" on any given topic simply because data exist.
The challenge for analysts has gone from turning tailored research data into research findings, to taking streams of sometimes incomplete, and clearly not "tailored," data and turning them into useful information. This change, in some ways, is like having an open fire hydrant and being asked to use the geyser to water an orchid. What you need is there, but certainly not in the form you need it.
The ability to use data well requires both strong traditional analytical training and a clever and creative streak. If anything, careful analysis is more important than ever before, but that alone is no longer sufficient. To be able to capitalize on these new waves of data, analysts will need to develop an ability to synthesize statistics from multiple sources, and also to be critical of the data available. (What pieces are missing? How was the data source changed over time? Is the data representative of a whole population or a selected subset? How can, or should, or shouldn't, the data be extrapolated to other groups?)
These questions and others will certainly keep us busy for a long time.

Nashville Food Friday: Nomzilla
I went to Nomzilla around 6:30 for dinner. The place was completely empty- not a soul in sight. This is never a good sign but, eh, I was hungry and tired. The decor is, how do you say this nicely.... horrendous. The color scheme vacillates between eye-popping neon abominations and boring neutrals. The Nomzilla mascot mural near the trash cans in the second dining room was poorly done, looking more like a high school art project than an actual piece of wall art. Also, in the boring dining room there were a bunch of Nashville-skyline-with-keyboards paintings, all the same, with different color schemes. These were also of high school quality. So now that I'm done taking a massive poop on the decor, let me explain what this place is about.
Nomzilla is a make your own sushi place. They offer a bunch of fish, fillings, rice, sauces and toppings for you to make the roll of your dreams. I was not feeling very creative at the moment so I decided to order off the regular menu with the rolls already put together. I'm happy they offered this for indecisive people like me.
To start I ordered an eel roll, which is normally one of my favorite go-to sushi staples. I was taken aback that everything was served on disposable dishes. This is not eco-friendly in the slightest and If I go to a restaurant I want to eat off real dishes and not pretend I'm at a backyard BBQ at a friends house. The roll itself was really disgusting. The eel sauce tasted really funny, like no eel sauce I've ever had before. It was oddly tangy and full of spices that just didn't seem right. Does eel sauce go bad? Because that might have been what happened here. Another big issue was that this roll was ice cold. The eel must have been pre-cooked and kept in a freezer. I have never ordered an eel roll at a sushi joint where the eel wasn't cooked right when you ordered and was served to you warm. The hot eel-cold rice combination is what makes the eel roll so tasty! The only way I was able to finish the roll was to cover it with wasabi, which wasn't even that hot.
For my second dish I ordered the inari (sweet fried tofu) spring roll and it was a snooze. The inari itself lacked flavor and you couldn't taste it mixed in with the lettuce, carrots and cucumber. I could barely see it when looking in the roll; the inari should have been more pronounced. The roll itself was also super cold, like it was kept in the fridge for a while. When you got to the bottom, the whole thing was juicy and wet, like it was defrosting and melting as I ate it. Soggy spring rolls are a no-no. The sweet chili sauce for dipping was the same stuff you can buy at your international market straight out of the bottle. Any Vietnamese place on Charlotte Pike could make this a million times better.
I was really disappointed with Nomzilla and could not recommend this place at all. For a city in a landlocked state Nashville some pretty decent sushi joints (Samurai, Sonobana) that you should check out if you're craving raw fish.
Honestly, I've had better sushi from Publix.

I agree about the price. If I didn't have the Scout Mob deal I would have been fuming mad!Delete
That mural! Yikes!!!!ReplyDeleteReplies
It is super jacked up! And I couldn't get over the fact that I thought it was watching me while I ate.Delete
Lauren, I love your reviews :-) This also shows us that snazzy websites don't mean the food is good. Nomzilla has a nice semi-aesthetically pleasing website whereas Sonobana's looks like it was made in the early days of the internet. And Samurai...well, they don't even have a website!ReplyDeleteReplies
Totally true. Nomzilla is also all about retaining customers, and has a bunch of "returning customer perks" listed on their tables. I find it odd when a place has to coerce people to come back again and again.Delete
Seems like a terrible experience all around, but the idea of "make your own" sushi is definitely interesting to me. I don't think I've seen that anywhere near me!ReplyDelete

I was wondering why moonflowers have been pulled from the gameworld. I loved having them in, as it gave people a reason to forage outside of the town at night, which led to several fun, on-the-fly RPTs in the past and documentation governing their usage has already been put forward.
Please elaborate?

Re: Moonflower Removal
Moonflowers are meant to be a rare thing in the game. An original plot by Taurgalas introduced them several months back and we will continue to sprinkle them about from time to time.
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.

Law enforcement and security careers are essential to ensuring the safety and security of communities and organizations. Whether complementing formal education in a police academy or going on to a career in security, as an officer or the courts or an employee of a correctional institution, the Law Enforcement / Police Foundations diploma program provides you with top-notch training and the knowledge to prepare you for a variety of security and law enforcement positions.
The National Academy of Health and Business employs a talented and knowledgeable instructor who is a veteran of the Peel Police force, having been on the force for over 30 years. Students will gain a wealth of knowledge from someone who knows the law enforcement world inside and out.
The Law Enforcement / Police Foundations program is an initiative jointly sponsored by the Police Learning System Advisory Committee and the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities in an attempt to establish a minimum standard required for entrance into the police force in Ontario. NAHB is one of very few colleges in Canada to offer self defence training and training with firearms, two essential skills in this line of work.

Some of the subjects covered in the three modules are:
– Criminology
– The criminal code
– Federal and provincial statutes
– Psychology
– Principles of ethical reasoning
– Police procedures
– Conducting an investigation
At the end of the program, students will be put into a practical on-the-job placement and be required to complete a volunteer community program that focuses on skills learned in one or more of the modules.
From stopping theft to organizing an orderly evacuation, Police Foundations is the first stepping stone for many people who wish to work in public safety.
Students wishing to enroll in the Law Enforcement / Police Foundations program should be in excellent physical shape, have great communication skills, be able to handle high-stress situations and be calm and collected under pressure.
Career Opportunities
Law Enforcement / Police Foundations program is expertly crafted to give you the essential skills and knowledge you'll need to enter into a variety of careers in law enforcement. After completing the Law Enforcement / Police Foundations program, students are then able to apply and work in a variety of jobs, such as:
– Police officer
– Customs and immigration
– Border guard
– Security guard
– Armored car drive
– Private investigator

New Project!
Well, I've been waiting for a sunny day to take some pictures outside, but I'm going to have to wait some more. The gloomy, rainy weather continues. Last night, we had tornado warnings, so right when the kids were supposed to be going to bed, we were all taking cover in the basement. Today, less ominous, but perfect weather to be indoors knitting.
With my Sapporo blocking right now (and with the zipper/shock cord kit on order), I started a new project yesterday. I'm going to continue the tradition of giving my Godson a handknit sweater every year for a birthday gift. I started this tradition two years ago, when I had the idea for it exactly one week prior to his birthday party...so I knit Elizabeth Zimmerman's Tomten Jacket for him in that one week, which was very stressful and somewhat painful with the raw skin on my fingers, etc., and not something I'd recommend. Last year, I got started with about two months to spare, and made him his "Big A" sweater. This year, I'm giving myself a full three months... Here's what I have so far:This is my own variation of the "childHood" sweater. My modifications are the addition of the kangaroo pocket (followed directions for the hoodie pattern in The Purl Stitch book, which I just happened to check out of the library last week), sleeves which will be knit in the round from the shoulders down (after the first two inches, as these are "modified drop" shoulders), and pullover instead of cardigan. I'm using Patons Classic Merino which I had in my stash, so my gauge is a bit tighter, and I'm making a larger size than those given in the pattern. I guess, I'm really not following the pattern much at all....but I thought the stripy-ness was really cute on the sleeves and hood on the Knitty pattern, and I liked the garter stitch trim, too.
Now it's back to studying chemistry. I took first semester chemistry 25 years ago, and in order to apply to a graduate school program, I must take a second semester of chemistry. In order to get clearance from the professor to take the class, I have to take a first semester final exam to show that I know enough to take the next class. Well, it's coming back to me, but I'm basically starting from scratch as I re-learn all of the material, so it's taking some time for me to do this...and I've been having some issues with motivation, though it still beats housework!
Warm regards,
Laura (YarnThrower)

Cute sweater! I love the pocket and the colors you've picked! What graduate program are you entering? More school is always a good idea! (This is what I tell myself every day, anyway! LOL)
- Jennifer said...
Sus said the exact same first line I was intending, "Cute Sweater". Anyway, I also like the stripes. I knit a sweater for my neice & goddaughter last Christmas and have already picked out a sweater for her for next Christmas. I love traditions.
- Yarngineer said...
I was wondering what graduate program you are going into too? I am probably going to start retaking or restudying calculus on my own so that I can start getting ready to go back to graduate school.
- Lauren said...
A sweater every year? Wow, I would be lucky to get the kid a sweater by his 10th birthday! So chemistry, eh? I took a lot of science classes in college. You might find this amusing: the program my insurance company uses used to be called WinBroker, but they wanted a cool name for version two that was coming out. So they had a contest, and they name they picked was "AuMine"..... get it? GOLDmine. Hahahaha! Isn't the periodic table of elements FUN????

Cool sweater! I love the pocket. Lucky Godson!

Love the sweater!
RE: Lauren's comment about AuMine.....we like to pronounce that OW-mine.

John and I made friends with a Dominican named Julio who works for Ocean World. First encounter with Julio was at the Terrace Bar of Ocean World where we were going for a drink and had Dexter with us (assuming he could sit outside with us on the terrace), it turns out Dexter was not welcome. Julio, who was working as security outside the terrace offered to take Dexter. We saw him tie Dexter up beside him. We then proceeded to see him tie and untie him all over the place, giving Dexter a very creative walk. Next we saw Julio working at the entrance to the Ocean World club, and he called out "amigos!" and gave us high fives and asked about the "perrito", which means little dog. This came to be our usual greeting with Julio. We also ran into Julio at the entrance to Ocean World being the guy who manually lifts up the gate for cars (you know in a parking garage, how the gate will automatically open, not here, here they have to lift it themselves with their hands-or get Julio to). We also ran into him taking tickets to the Ocean World Marine park-he's everywhere!
Julio was kind enough to offer to take us out on the town. Him and his brother Victor took us to the Teleferico, which is a gondola that goes us very very VERY high, and you have the most breath taking view. This gondola seems to be ancient, and you really feel like the chances of the wires breaking are not that slim. Once we safely made it up, it's apparently tradition to go and get your picture taken with the giant statue or Jesus. The guy there immediately took my camera and commanded I do all these poses, that give the illusion that I am holding Jesus hand, holding him in my hand, and many other ridiculous things. Certainly made for some hilarious photos!
The air up there was cool, even though was 33 degrees, and my ears popped while going up. The foliage was beautiful and we could see the marina from there. Apparently 200,000 people live in Puerto Plata!
Julio and Victor took us to the centre of town to El Boulevard and Malecon. We ate lunch and had some delicious ice cream, restaurants are so cheap here! They informed us that we could not call each other boyfriend and girlfriend. That here, if you have been living together for 6 months, they become your spouse. That many people do not get married here because the cost of divorce is so high (how romantic right?). They were also shocked to find out that I was 28 and hadn't had any children yet-you can imagine how shocked they were that John was almost 35 and didn't have any either! Victors "wife" is 22, and they have a baby, and apparently that's pretty old, he said the average age to get pregnant here is around 18, but can be as low as 12 years old! So apparently I am married, but am far too old to have children, I wish someone had warned me about this earlier!
After taking us around the city (and crushing my hopes and dreams of motherhood), they were nice enough to take us to Mercado La Sirena, a giant grocery store. We were in serious need of reprovisioning, we hadn't gotten any groceries since George Town (over a month ago!), and have been essentially eating out of cans before we started taking advantage of the all inclusive here. We got tons of stuff, and were so lucky to have them. I was also lucky that Dominican men are very chivalrous (or macho), so I didn't have to lift a finger. John looked like a jerk, looking on his iPhone while I loaded the stuff into the cart-Julio pushed passed him to help me-he could learn a thing or two from them! All the items we bought were either cheaper or equal to what we would pay in Canada, though it's hard to do the conversion in your head while shopping-43 pesos to 1 US dollar, but that's not even Canadian dollars!
We had a really great time with Julio and Victor, and learned a lot about Dominican culture. Also, since Julio doesn't speak any English, it forced me to practice my Spanish, and John learned some too!

DAL - air getting thin up here
10 views
Can someone please explain to me why the money flow is so low, but stock price close to upper trend of channel and RSI and MACD also very high? I think DAL and IYT (transports etf ) overdue for correction, and since this sector has been best of bread in an otherwise stalled market, I think the smart money has already flowed out and sitting pretty, while those not watching closely will get a not so pleasant surprise during a sharp sell off soon. Have PUTS laid in. Also, check out last trip to the bottom channel trend line , overshot big time... this time? Well, what do you think? Yes I said "correction", and this could very well rattle the markets. When DAL starts its decline, I will be watching very closely where it winds up.

Another Book
(If you don't know what a Sin Eater is, look it up!)
The book is about a young girl, Cadi, in the 1850s in the Smoky Mountains looking for redemption for things from her past- looking in all the wrong places. In the book, she has an imaginary friend named Lilybet and I liked this conversation between them:
[Lilybet speaking] "Life isn't fair. It's difficult. From the moment you draw your first breath to the last."
"Why does it have to be that way?"
"Because men are stubborn. They wanted their own way, and God allowed them to have it."
"And so Fagan and I must suffer."
"As all suffer. It's one long test of faith, refining you for what you were meant to be."
"And what's that?"
"Find out."
"Why can't I know now? Why can't ye just tell me?"
"Because you're stubborn, too. You still refuse to understand, even when the truth is all around you in everything you see from the depths of the earth to the stars of the heavens."
All the anger went from me [Cadi] and my throat tightened with grief. "I don't want to be stubborn, Lilybet. I want to understand."
"You will find all the pieces and God will bring them to light."
"When will that be?"
"In his time."
Go get it and read it! [I still have the copy from the main library here, but I'll return it soon!]

Brenda, I couldn't finish reading your post, because I just went to the library yesterday and got 2 Francine Rivers books - The Last Sin Eater, and The Atonement Child. I'm starting on The Atonement Child first. I didn't want to read anything that might give anything away! I'm glad you liked it. My best friend was in a book/movie club and they watched the movie The Last Sin Eater and she told me how good it was. I'll let you know about The Atonement Child - or you will probably go get it!
