We crossed the bridge without trouble, and on the other side, a dirty, beat-up Ford Focus was waiting for us. The car looked like it would barely run, and the driver was a young man who reminded me of Maddy in many ways. He was quiet and didn't say anything when we quickly jumped in the back. I asked Maddy how they knew each other, and Maddy only said they worked together. He told me the driver was "one of the good guys" and not to worry. From there, we cut through the lower east side of downtown Cincinnati toward Mount Adams.
I'd heard all about the infamous Mount Adams, where most of the violence took place during the early years of zone implementation. It remained a hotbed for still-active political terrorists. The violence didn't take sides inside the zone, as evidenced by the sights in front of me. Passing through the lower part of downtown—full of half-empty skyscrapers, the never-used underground subway tunnels, filth and stench, and lost-looking people—almost made me sick. It felt odd to see all the people...those put there because, my daddy claimed, they'd never learned how to work for a living. I loved my daddy, but there were times in my past when I didn't know who to believe. I suspected those times would become more frequent now that I was in the middle of this mess he created. The good part was that we zoomed by; roads were empty and nothing seemed to work, especially stoplights.
Within another five minutes, we finally arrived at the bottom of Mount Adams, which was still a hotspot for trouble. The other parts of the zone were just sad and dangerous, and that made Cincinnati sad and dangerous. It was called "tough-love" in the South, but no one had to pretend; everyone knew what this place was really about. When they decided to make Cincinnati's lower downtown a national reform zone, it wasn't directed against the city; it was the state of Ohio they hated…the must-win swing state that went blue in 2008 and 2012. Cincinnati just happened to mark the political border…with red below, blue above…and it pretty much stayed that way during the recovery years. When those in power realized that Ohio would never implement new policies necessary to ensure economic recovery, they wrote policies to ensure Cincinnati and the rest of Ohio were left out. Everyone living inside the zone was ineligible for a job under the new national employment placement program, which forced everyone to live on government handouts. And then the city was filled with left-wing radicals to blame, and no one bothered to ask why or how long?
Historians still disagree about how the aftermath of the Black Crash "really" played out…starting with a Congressional investigation of a lot of Washington insiders—senior government officials, financiers, academic leaders, media, organized labor, Hollywood cronies—who allegedly assisted in the collapse. No one attached to the Oval Office was involved, but even so, the concept of so many liberals in the echelons of power wanting our nation's economy to collapse was enough to take back the nation by attacking the start of the nightmare—McCain and Romney losses in the key swing states. Those states were vehemently hated, and Ohio was at the top of the list.
That's why Cincinnati's revenge time came fast and hit hard. I didn't see blood on the streets, but I could tell how hard this city was hit. It was like a black-and-white film compared to the color and glitz of North Atlanta. Part of it made me miss what I'd left behind, and part of it made me glad to be here. I had never traveled far from where I had grown up, but I reasoned that living off Lenox, Tuxedo Road, or in Vinings was just like everywhere else before the Black Crash. I envisioned private estates and grand country clubs lining the Ohio River too, just like those that lined the Chattahoochee going north. In my little bubble, people couldn't spend enough, and couldn't have enough.
That money dried up after the Crash, for everyone. But before 2014, I'm sure the money in Cincinnati showed as well as it did down south. Or did it? The dirty streets I saw as we raced through downtown didn't give me one clue that anything grand and shiny ever existed here. Almost all the storefronts were boarded up, and no sign of a living economy existed anywhere. The stores that were open carried used stuff; I'd never seen so many "used goods" signs, and it struck home. That was one of my daddy's policy recommendations: manufacturers were to ship nothing new into the reform zones. If they want to be Communists, let them live like Communists. Some people shouldn't be allowed to benefit from our recovery and our American way of life. Let them rot in the poverty they love so much. Let them burn in their progressive hell.
All this nonsense seemed to be the battle cry for much of the nation, especially against the fifteen or so states that held the most blame for the 2015 Crash, but showed no remorse afterwards. That was how the Red State-Blue State political demarcation evolved. It wasn't planned by some rightwing think tank led by rich lobbyists, and it wasn't financed by a high-powered political action group. It was commonsense capitalism, and it infuriated the already dwindling progressive side, shocked the middle toward the right, and left a conservative leadership limitless after 2016.
But as good as this success story sounds–at least for much of the nation—America's quick economic recovery didn't come without tragedy, and that's rarely talked about down South. Before the Black Crash, if someone had predicted that the conservatives would be the ones who stole away our privacy rights and imposed apartheid-like separation laws, the world would have called them crazy. And knowing what I know now about pre-Crash America, I would have said the same…had I not been taught well. But our leaders did well and so did my textbooks. Books covered those earlier progressive threats diligently, and left nothing for misinterpretation. After the Crash, nothing was taught about preserving the Constitution; the focus shifted to "using" the Constitution to heal and mend the nation. Some pieces of our nation's founding document were left intact, others were blacked out like they never existed. Soon after, money started to flow again, and everyone with a revived new hope for making money just stood there and watched as the sacred words of our forefathers took a backseat.
I had to learn about the consequences of trashing the Constitution outside the classroom, most of it from Maddy. He couldn't talk about it around his classmates, but privately he told me every day about the riots in the northern cities. We talked sometimes about Atlanta and all the other major southern cities that burned during the Civil War, but he reasoned this time Fate had played a horrible trick on humanity. This time cities like Cincinnati, Detroit, Baltimore, Newark, and Jersey City were burning, and carpetbaggers were headed in the opposite direction.
As much as Maddy liked to tell me about Fate and how awful the South was for letting it happen, he never ended without making it personal. "The world has gone crazy, just because it lost all its money, and politicians like your daddy are the cause of all of it."
I would sit and listen as he rambled on. "He caused all these cities to burn and he is the one who brainstormed a new economic order that intentionally left half the nation out. And he is the one who created this domestic separation plan to relocate political opposition to reform zones. This is political slavery," he'd argue, and then he'd cap it off each time with the same yell. "We should have a choice! We all have a choice!"
Most of the time, I'd yell back, even though I agreed with some of what Maddy said. "You're the crazy one, so don't talk about my daddy like that," I'd argue back. "There will never be a long-term separation policy in America…home of the free. The zones are there to protect the recovery. When the recovery is complete, the zones will go." And then I closed the argument with the staple reply my daddy told me to use. "If there are political slaves up north, it's because they chose to stay on the plantation and inside the ghetto. Those fools up north love to keep people in bondage, but for the rest of the country, the plantation and ghetto days are over."

It turns out that some people think cholesterol is not the silent killer that results in heart disease. An evaluation of the original studies that brought forth the theory that cholesterol is connected to heart disease will show that the analysis of data was mishandled so that only the data supporting the theory would be used. The result is our present day situation where pharmaceutical companies now make more money on statins (cholesterol blocking drug) than almost any other drug.

FPL has restored 97 percent of customers impacted by Hurricane Irma; laser-focused on restoring power to remaining 130,000 customers
- Crews working on neighborhoods in hardest-hit areas and individual homes
- Power restoration is essentially complete in 18 counties
- Majority of counties along Florida's eastern coast are essentially restored; Miami-Dade County anticipated to be essentially restored tomorrow
- 2,300 personnel and four staging sites added to the restoration effort along Florida's western coast
- Restoration estimates by county available at FPL.com/powertracker
- Customers should continue to heed safety precautions
JUNO BEACH, Fla., Sept. 18, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- As of this evening, Florida Power & Light Company (FPL) has restored service to more than 4.3 million customers, or more than 97 percent of the 4.4 million customers impacted by Hurricane Irma. Roughly 130,000 customers remain without power.
"Our expanded workforce of thousands of employees, contractors and partners from across the country and Canada continue to work around the clock to restore service to every customer who remains without power tonight," said Eric Silagy, president and CEO of FPL. "While our restoration crews continue to make progress, we are keenly aware that customer patience for those without their lights and air conditioning tonight is beyond worn thin. We sincerely appreciate the support and understanding our crews are receiving from so many, including those who have been without power since Irma struck. We remain firm in our commitment that we will not let up until everyone's lights are back on."
Bradford, Union, Clay, Duval, St. Johns, Flagler, Volusia, Seminole, Brevard, Orange, Osceola, Columbia, Indian River, St. Lucie, Martin, Palm Beach, Okeechobee and Hardee counties are all essentially restored – meaning more than 99 percent of customers who were affected by Irma are restored. Customers who do not have power in these counties should report their outages online at FPL.com/outage. The remaining outages in these areas may require specialized work to repair significant damage from Irma's fierce winds, tornadoes and strong storm surge. In addition, some of the outages may be the result of normal, day-to-day activity and not related to Irma.
Miami-Dade County is 97 percent restored, Broward County is 99 percent restored and restoration efforts in Northeast Florida from Putnam County north through Nassau County are on track or ahead of schedule. In Southwest Florida, power restoration is 85 percent complete or higher in Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, DeSoto, Lee and Glades counties. Hendry County is 75 percent restored and more than 78 percent of customers are restored in Collier County, where Irma made landfall and inflicted the worst damage.
Restoration continues on track for all counties. Estimated times of restoration by county can be viewed at FPL.com/powertracker. Exceptions could occur in areas throughout Florida that were impacted by tornadoes, severe flooding, and heavy tree and debris damage. There may also be instances in which a customer's home or business is structurally damaged and unable to safely accept power.
Customers may experience limited outages over the coming weeks and months due to weakened trees and branches that could impact power lines and electric equipment. FPL crews will continue to make needed repairs as they are identified.
FPL has established walk-up sites for our customers in several communities. These sites provide charging stations, water, Wi-Fi, ice, community service and restoration information, and customer service assistance. Please visit FPL.com/powertracker to see locations and times.
Converging crews into the hardest-hit areas
Restoration personnel continue to find widespread damage in the hardest-hit communities, including whole trees pulling down power lines and isolated flooding preventing crews and equipment from getting in to make the necessary repairs. In many cases, crews are spending hours clearing trees and debris before it is safe to reach power lines and begin work.
FPL will continue to communicate restoration information through the media and online via FPL.com, Facebook and Twitter. Customers should call FPL at 1-800-4OUTAGE (1-800-468-8243) only to report conditions such as downed power lines or sparking electrical equipment. Call 911 for life-threatening emergencies.
Be certain your home or business is ready to receive power
Please stay safe and help us keep crews safe

A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent upon arriving. A good artist lets his intuition lead him wherever it wants. A good scientist has freed himself of concepts and keeps his mind open to what is. Thus the Master is available to all people and doesn't reject anyone. He is ready to use all situations and doesn't waste anything. This is called embodying the light. What is a good man but a bad man's teacher? What is a bad man but a good man's job? If you don't understand this, you will get lost, however intelligent you are. It is the great secret.

If you remember 1991, you can't help but feel the nostalgia for Steven Spielberg and Robin Williams' Hook. Even Dante Basco, the actor who played the Lost Boys' leader, Rufio, feels it.
Which is why he reprised his role as Rufio for this episode of our CineFix series, Homemade Movies. It's a shot-for-shot remake, but with zero special effects. And a lot of plastic spoons.

Travelling and Positive Attitude Boosts Your Health and Happiness
While arranging to begin a memorable Uganda gorilla safari package, it is important that you study key life goals. All we require in our lives is to be Healthy, Wealthy and Happy. Each of us obviously realizes that an ideal balance of these three elements will ensure us a great durable life. We additionally know beyond any doubt what we should do or not do to achieve these fundamental goals. It is now realized that voyaging and having an uplifting attitude in life makes us healthier and more blissful.
A few months back I read an article by Andrew Hough (telegraph.co.uk; March, 2011) reading that as per later scientific proof individuals who are blissful and positive about life live longer. The contention is that a health life is about good eating habits as well as uplifting state of mind towards most of our life experiences. Personally I do not think this makes any news because on the grounds that we know all that and this knowledge has been around for a long time but let me know if you do not agree with me.
My greatest concern however is: if we know what we should do or not do in order to be healthy, wealthy and happy and thereby live a long life, why is the larger part of people on this universe not HEALTHY, not WEALTHY and not HAPPY?!!
Somebody may say they would prefer not to live a long life and thusly Health, Wealth and Happiness is not extremely critical to them. I don't subscribe to such a contention yet my possible guess is that they have a certain human weakness that limits them from doing what they know or they don't put in action the knowledge that might empower them to be Healthy, Wealthy and Happy.
Rwandagorillasafaris.com shows this issue of the human weakness that denies us of the energy to initiate action on our rich knowledge with a specific end goal to be Healthy, Wealthy and Happy. I significantly want you sees on what you think about to be the greatest obstacle to the fundamental human desire to be Healthy, Wealthy and Happy (visit www.rwandagorillasafaris.com).

Harvesting electromagnetic energy from thin air to develop self-sustaining Internet of Things (IoT) communications may become reality thanks to a new technology called HitchHike. The goal is to reduce the need for continual maintenance of the expected billions of IoT installations. Researchers say they're close to the finish line. Worst case scenario, they say they'll be able to get Wi-Fi chips to run for 10 years on the same, small battery.
"HitchHike is the first self-sufficient Wi-Fi system that enables data transmission using just micro-watts of energy, almost zero," claims Pengyu Zhang, a Stanford researcher, in a recent press release from the school. Existing commodity infrastructure working with a harvesting technique called "backscatter" signals is behind the researchers' work to achieving Wi-Fi efficiency for IoT.
Backscattering is the term used for the creation of new signals quaffed from gathered, ambient radio waves, such as existing television. Those radio signals, prevalent anyway, are ingested and converted into new signals. It uses a kind of reflection cannibalization. The energy from the siphoned radio waves powers the new ones. In this case, the academics' processor and radio combination equipment piggy-backs on incoming Wi-Fi signals of the kind we all use in laptop and smartphone communications. It then "translates those incoming signals to its own messages and retransmits its own data on a different Wi-Fi channel."
The HitchHike prototype is about the size of a postage stamp and uses a coin battery. However, the researchers say they will be able to shrink that, and ultimately it will be as small as the proverbial grain of rice. The scientists say their device has a functioning range of 50 meters and will be able to message at 300 kilobits per second. IoT-oriented messaging often doesn't need high bandwidth, just frequent sending and receiving functionality of brief commands.

Jean Sullivian, December 9, 2008
OCVTS students walked away with three awards from the annual Tech Prep Robotics Competition held recently at Ocean County College. High school and middle school students from throughout the county designed robotic vehicles using materials from standard kits and adhering to competition guidelines.
Prior to the competition, each team designs, builds and programs a vehicle to accomplish an assigned task in the fastest period of time. Once activated, the robotic vehicle in this Pre-Built Division must be able to accomplish the task without any remote operation from team members. This year the task required the vehicle to locate and remove three small balls from within a five foot diameter target marked on a floor mat. As many teams discovered, performing during actual competition did not always go as smoothly as their practice runs. Environmental factors, such as surface textures andlighting, had an impact on the vehicles.
The second challenge of the competition required the teams to brainstorm, build and program a new vehicle on-site within a 90-minute timeframe to accomplish a new task presented to them. The robotic vehicles had to travel along a curving black line from one end of the mat to the other, turn and return to the start point. In order to succeed, the teams had to program sensors which would detect the black path, detect the end point, turn and find its way home. The fastest vehicles took the prizes.
The OCVTS Toms River Center entered two teams, comprised of students from the Introduction to Computer Hardware, Computer Science and Computer Repair programs. Under the direction of Instructor Keith Pobuta, Toms River Team #19 placed Second in the speed trials and earned First Place for their creative vehicle design in the Pre-Built Division.
OCVTS Brick students from Rob Doherty's Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning and Refrigeration classes also entered two teams. Brick Team #4 recorded the fourth fastest time and won an award in the on-site challenge.
The Tech Prep, or Technical Preparation, program incorporates academics and hands-on learning at the high school level with articulated curriculum links to Ocean County Post High School educational opportunities.
Above, Toms River Team #19 positions robotic vehicle for the first challenge. The vehicle had second fastest time in the competition and took top prize for creative design. Right, Brick Team 4 prepares for on-site challenge; clocks fourth fastest time.

These Humans Are Barking… Just Wait Until You See How Dogs React!Shannon Vize
As humans, we're used to hearing dogs barking by now. Whether you are lucky enough to own a pup or not, I guarantee at least a few times in your life you've encountered or overheard a little canine barking his heart out. Similarly, dogs have usually gotten an earful of hearing us talk to our friends or on the phone. We're so used to hearing one another that we rarely react to the sounds. But, when a dog hears a human barking? Well, that's guaranteed to confuse a few puppy ears!
These dogs are in for quite the strange experience when they stumble upon this human who can make pretty realistic barking sounds. How do you think they'll react? Make your guesses now before clicking play! I bet you'll be surprised to see how some of these adorable pups react! (I know I was!)

This one had me 100% fooled: I have no idea what the difference is between this species and A. macrostemon. . . except maybe a little smaller, and the fact that it grows around mountain tops! (Maybe I'm not the only one: Apparently this wasn't recognized as a distinct variety until 1998! But then again, I don't know the difference between chives and leeks!) I spent a long time wondering what this plant was doing atop Hasa Dake until one day when we were eating pickled onions and a guide from whom I learned quite a bit mentioned this species that I had not yet heard of.

"Procrastination" sounds much sexier if you sing it to the tune of "Infatuation" by Rod Stewart. Just saying.
Sorry I have been MIA. Lots going on – pregnancy, bachelorette party for my sister that almost all of the like ten girls said they were coming to subsequently bailed out on/didn't show up for, dog, life, etc. I haven't even really been shopping for product! So you know I have been crazy.
So a very brief update – we got the MaterniT21 test results and they show to a 99% accuracy that there are NO genetic abnormalities with the baby (who is currently known as Fruit Bat). HOORAH! It's been a long road and we still have a long way to go (it was 20 weeks Saturday) but every bit of good news helps. Thank you again for all your well wishes and kind thoughts and words! It helped immensely.
I am going to try my damnedest to get a few reviews out in the next couple days. Like, three. At least.
Hope you are all well and staying beautiful!

As we enter the month of November "thanks" is a word heard pretty regularly. The word "thanks" is simply an expression of gratitude. I was very recently asked what I was most thankful for and many things came to mind. Of all of the wonderful things in my life, the gratitude I have for my home is one of the dearest to my heart.
Where I call home isn't much. In fact, I am not too sure I can even classify it as a map dot. The small village of Hamlet, population 48, is where I am proudly from and where most of my family members still reside, tending our family farm. Being able to grow up in such a small, close knit, community made up by surrounding rural towns has been one of the best things to ever happen to me. That statement may puzzle many of you who are not from a setting such as this. How could living in such a small place with so little going on be so great?
Let's talk about work…it's not often viewed as an enjoyable activity but in this area, working is considered family time. Family farms work with true synergy, accomplishing goals greater than what a singular worker could handle. Families survive by working as a team to successfully plant and harvest crops or raise cattle and hogs. There is an unexplainable, warming, sense of pride found in looking out over what you and your family have built together, knowing that it is not only your work bettering the world but it is your name bettering the world for years to come. I am so grateful to be apart of something I can be so proud of, not just for today but for the rest of my life.

We even attend schools that accept and allow missed days of class for things like field work, opening day of hunting/trapping season and the evaluation and showing of livestock, just to name a few. All of which instill skills that lay a foundation that will last a lifetime on both a personal and professional level. In other words, I am thankful to be apart of a community that understands not all lessons can be taught in a classroom or read in a book.
Just like anything else in life, practice makes perfect. With over 75,000 farms in the land of Lincoln alone and each farmer feeding about 156 people, our schools understand the importance agriculture holds and allows practice and learning opportunities in order for the job to be done the right way. As someone in a farming family, I am thankful to be in an area that supports the growth and development of something I am so invested in.

They say home is where the heart is and if that is the case, my home is pretty huge. While the population is small, the heart of rural Illinois is warm, loving and big enough to truly touch the lives of anyone who lives there. It has turned work into a family affair and supported mine along with many generations of families alike to be proud and confident in our meaningful life's work. I could not have more gratitude or express more thanks to the place I get to call home; Hamlet Illinois, population 48.

This article titled "Feathers and leathers: fashion houses give cycling a luxury makeover" was written by Véronique Lorelle, for theguardian.com on Friday 5th December 2014 12.29 UTC
Almost a year ago Hermès, famous for its scarves and leatherwear, launched two bicycles, one called Le Flâneur, the other Le Flâneur Sportif. Starting at just over ,000, the simpler city version has eight gears, its racier sister 12. But this is no exercise in branding. The Paris fashion house designed these bikes from A to Z, in partnership with Time Sport, a Lyon-based specialist in carbon fibre.
"The idea was to combine the best technologies cycling had to offer, in particular a lightweight monobloc carbon frame, with the traditional know-how of our leatherworkers, in order to deliver high performance and beauty," says François Doré, head of Hermès Horizons, the division tasked with made-to-measure goods and mobility.
Hermès is not the only fashion firm to be investing in two-wheelers. Lacoste, Trussardi, Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Armani and Dolce & Gabbana have all brought out machines that fly their colours. "After working with the car industry, putting their name on limited series, top brands stand to gain by supporting bikes, an urban trend which is bound to grow. These environmentally friendly vehicles demonstrate their good civic sense," says design consultant Yorgo Tloupas, who owns about 10 well-loved, cutting-edge frames.
About 3m bicycles are purchased annually in France and five-figure price tags are no longer uncommon. One reason why prices have rocketed is the use of titanium or carbon fibre to build the frame, or indeed other parts such as wheel rims or handlebars. The return of hand-made frames has also contributed to the price tag. If you have the means, a specialist frame builder will make you a bike to suit your weight, leg length and style of cycling.
In Clermont Ferrand, Auvergne, the Victoire workshop has been making frames to suit individual needs since 2011, with models in conventional or stainless steel, for use on roads or tracks, for touring or gentle rambling, and even specific sports such as triathlon or polo. "We practise high-technology craftwork, serving customers all over the world, particularly in Asia, where made in France rhymes with luxury, like haute couture," says Julien Leyreloup, the thirtysomething head of Victoire Cycles. He designed a bike for Berluti, the Parisian shoemaker now part of LVMH, which subsequently kitted it out with a line of leather accessories – frame pouch, pannier, pedal straps and even a pair of shoes for chic, trendy gents determined to cut a dash in a traffic jam.
A Paris start-up, appropriately named Héritage, markets one-off, custom-built items produced in France. "I wanted to give these skills a new lease of life in the land of the Tour de France. But I also wanted to make something alluring," says entrepreneur Cyril Saulnier. He has invented several bijou bikes, in particular the H007 Goldfinger bike, which sports forks plated with 24-carat gold. Brand and fashion consultant Thomas Erber put it in his cabinet of curiosities. Saulnier's latest creation, commissioned by someone at the peak of elegance, demanded 70 hours' work by a leatherworker, who wrapped the whole bike in leather, with three different tones – to match the buyer's favourite shoes.
There is no stopping eccentric designers or their elite customers. Some even hang their prize possession on the wall. In Britain, Brompton folding bicycles have become an institution; in the US, Electra has established its very own style with the Cruiser range. The Kickbike, a cross between a pushbike and a scooter, hails from Finland.
Although the basic shape of bicycles has not changed much in the past century, the search for new materials has fuelled innovation.
In the Vosges area of eastern France, In'Bô is particularly proud of its latest model, handmade using bamboo and flax fibre. Last spring it won the Red Hook Criterium track race in Brooklyn, New York. Meanwhile, in Tours, in the Loire valley, designer Paule Guérin has built two bikes using ash. She joined forces with prototype manufacturer Till Breitfuss to develop a frame made of 24 layers of laminated timber, vacuum-bonded with an organic resin. It has a higher strength-to-weight ratio than steel or aluminium.
A wood sculptor, winner of the coveted Meilleur Ouvrier de France award, made a special version of the frame, adding feathers to turn it into a winged horse. "Our bikes are fully functional and currently being tested at the cycle track in Blois. They're a reminder of the ash war chariots deployed by the Hittites and ancient Egyptians, competing for the upper hand in both technical excellence and sculpted splendour to succeed on the battlefield and the parade ground," says Guérin.
Not all of us can afford Factor Bikes' Aston Martin One-77, on sale for around ,000, but cycling enthusiasts can always customise their loyal steed by adding the latest in cranks, derailleurs and disc brakes. The biCyCle store in Paris draws a steady stream of aficionados patiently building, bit by bit, their dream bike.

CHSD challenges Nassau County on property tax increases
In photo, three new board members, students from Kennedy, Mepham and Calhoun. from left are Rebecca Peretz of Calhoun, Rachel Fein, Mepham and Rohan Nagpal of Kennedy.
At its regular Wednesday night meeting Central High School District's Cynthia Strait Regal, deputy superintendent for business, lashed out at Nassau County for its insistence that the district was responsible for the steep property tax increases many in the district are now getting in their mailbox.
Many are experiencing increases of $400 and more, while others are seeing their property taxes reduced by 20%. She said any higher increases than the 3.48% increase the state granted to the district to charge are due to grievances won by many homeowners, making those who didn't grieve bear the burden of those who did.
"School tax bills recently arrived and once again, we all learned that school districts are spending too much and taxing too high," said County Executive Edward Mangano 7in letter distributed recently. "I have … been commended by the State of New York for cost-cutting measures that resulted in no tax hike for residents. To blame school tax hikes on the county is wrong," he added.
In her presentation, called The Nassau County Tax Debacle, Regal points out that total assessed value for the CHSD went down 2.83%, from $28,744,925 in 2012-13, to 27,931,978 in 2013-14.
She notes that, according to the county assessor, an average home in Bellmore went from 992 in 2012-13 to 957 in 2013-14, for a decrease in 3.53%; in North Merrick, from 894 to 865, a 3.24% decrease; in North Bellmore, from 845 to 822, a 2.72% decrease; and Merrick, 1099 to 1053, a decrease of 4.18%.
She then presents taxes calculated on an average home in 2012/13 with the new 2013/14 information provided by the county assessor's office: in 2012/13, Bellmore, $4302; North Bellmore, $3570; Merrick, $4771; and North Merrick, $3610; and in 2013-14, Bellmore, $4274, for a .66% decrease; North Bellmore, $3578, for a .21% increase; Merrick, $4744, for a .58% decrease; and North Merrick, $3593, for a .46% decrease.
Regal then showed a slide explaining the average tax increases homes who grieved their taxes received: Bellmore, a 2.80% difference; North Bellmore, a 3.69% difference; Merrick, a 2.88% difference; and North Merrick, a 3.01% difference.
For those who didn't grieve and were not reduced: Bellmore, a 6.56% increase; North Bellmore, a 6.59% increase; Merrick a 7.37% increase; and North Merrick, a 6.46% increase.
She remarked that any percent increase above the 3.48% is due to changes in assessment, both total and per property and changes in adjusted base proportions. She said these are not the responsibility of the district, but are indeed the responsibility of the county.
She said that the CHSD tax levy increased by 3.48% and, if all things were equal the portion of the tax bill attributable to the district would also increase by 3.48%.
She noted that the 'sticker shock,' the difference between the tax levy increase and the calculated increase in taxes, in the four towns was: Bellmore's tax increase of 6.56%, with a 3.08% sticker shock above the 3.48% tax levy; North Bellmore's 6.59% increase, with a 3.11% sticker shock; Merrick's 7.37% increase, with a 3.89% sticker shock; and North Merrick's 6.46% increase, with a 2.98% sticker shock.
She concluded that the county's assessment practices are placing 'horrific' increases on district residents because its tax levy was reasonable and within state guidelines.
Brian Nevin, policy advisor to County Executive Mangano, in response to requests from this magazine for a response, provided documentation from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, Office of Real Estate Property Tax Services, on the common myths and misunderstanding of taxes and assessments:
"Myth 2: It's important to distinguish between taxes and assessments. If you feel your taxes are too high, you should take that up with the town board, school board, or other governing authority that is determining tax levies and setting the tax rates. If you feel your assessment is too high, there are administrative and judicial processes where you can seek to have your assessment lowered.
Assessments should be based on market value, and if you feel your assessment is too high, your first step in confirming that is to determine your property's market value. The best way to do this is to look at the sale prices of similar properties in similar neighborhoods.
If you still feel that your assessment is too high, we recommend that you informally discuss your concerns with your assessor. More information on the grievance process is available from your assessor's office and online: http://www.tax.ny.gov/pit/property/default.htm.

They are finally coming
After more than a month of wait, Motorola has finally unveiled the launch date of the Moto G6 and the Moto G6 Play in India. The company took its Twitter to announce the launch date and availability details of both the phones.
As per the tweet, the Moto G6 will be an Amazon exclusive phone, while the Moto G6 Play will only be sold on Flipkart. Additionally, the phones will be sold at the Moto-Hub stores for offline buyers.
Customers looking to buy either of the phones can register to get notified when the stock arrives. The phones will debut in India on June 4. Which also puts an end to the speculations suggesting an early launch.
#helloyou, gear up for the new #motog family. Get ready to meet the #motog6 on @amazonIN, the #motog6play on @Flipkart & both at a #MotoHub near you! Unveiling on the 4th June. Register now to be the first one to be notified about it. https://t.co/caqLq71AEK pic.twitter.com/slWgbfxfdB— Motorola India (@motorolaindia) May 21, 2018
The smartphones were launched earlier during the MWC 2018, held in Barcelona earlier this year. Globally, the Moto G6 costs $249 (approximately Rs 16,500) and the G6 Play has the price tag of $199 (Rs 13,000). The official prices for India haven't been declared yet, but considering how competitive India's budget smartphone market has become, it's possible that the prices might vary.
To recall, the Moto G6 successes the Moto G5, and similarly, the Moto G6 Play successes the Moto G5 Play. Strangely, there's still no word about the top-end Moto G6 Plus handset from the company. But if you're waiting for the best mid-range from Moto, we would advise you to wait for the Plus variant.

On Poland (Mostly Wrocław)
Posted by Ryan Neal
On Poland (Mostly Wrocław)
Publication: RidiculouslyExtraordinary. Posted by Ryan Neal
An incredible change of pace from my normal articles, but since I'm leaving in 48 hours, and since this is the place of my birth, I thought it would be fitting to write a little about Poland. Specifically Wrocław, which is the capital of the Lower Silesian Voivodeship (think Province). Wrocław is in the south west of the country, close to both Czech Republic and Germany.
Phonetic English pronunciation of Wrocław: Vrots-wahf. 2 syllables.Some preliminary details: I was born in Wrocław, Poland, but my family moved to the US 4 days shy of my first birthday. Prior to this current trip I visited Poland twice. Once in 1992 for 1 month and in 2005 for 2 weeks.
All told, that wasn't very much exposure to the culture. I've now been here since 10 May, over 4 months. Although it would be delusional to consider myself anything other than a tourist in my own country, I do feel I've experienced a closer connection to the place and its people.
A few glaringly obvious observations between my first trip 18 years ago and this one: the "Western" (or Modern, or whatever you'd like to call it) influence is strong. I remember the first time I was back here it was like a completely different world. Obviously some of that may have been due to the fact that I was 11 and everywhere new seemed like a whole different world.
Today it doesn't look like a completely different world. Almost anything I can find in the US, I can find here. (Except black beans. I literally bought every black bean I could find in the city. There weren't many. My apologies to the other black bean lovers.)
It's just little, superficial things I remember from my first trip. The first Pizza Hut. Or the only milk available having a layer of fat on top (gross, two times!). Now Pizza Hut is everywhere and you can find soy milk at every supermarket. I also remember people "looking" a lot healthier. That is, skinnier. Now, with KFC, McDonald's, et al. running rampant across the city and the country, waistlines have expanded along with more economic prosperity. The former is sad, the latter is awesome. This may sound judgmental, and again, superficial, but it's fact.
The People[caption id="attachment_4252" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Wrocław Głowny (main train station)"][/caption]
In general, the people I've interacted with have been exceedingly kind.
Something that caught me off guard:
Twice I've had a person tell me they don't like Americans. (In Sydney, Australia I had someone tell me I should apologize for my country after they found out I was from the US. Hate, unfortunately, is universal.) On two different occasions a person stopped talking to me (we were talking in Polish) after they found out I was born here, but grew up in the US. This type of stuff doesn't affect me. It's obviously a personal problem exclusive to a select few people. And yes, I could paint a rosy picture that this stuff doesn't happen, but it does, so no sense in hiding the truth. My only hope is that these types of people continue at the lower rungs of society as opposed to becoming leaders. When hate and leadership combine, well, we have far too many examples to show what can happen.
A few months ago I was asked what I think of the people here. Specifically, "do you find them to be closed off?" It's a difficult question to answer, because I find most people are closed off. That's not based on region, it's based on the human condition. While we're definitely social creatures, we also stick to our own.
The fact that I did 90% of my socializing through CouchSurfing means I was exposed to an open, welcoming group of people on a regular basis.
Usually when someone would find out I came back here to relearn the language and experience my birthplace I would get nothing but respect. And many times, surprise: "Why would you come back? Nobody comes back after they leave."
For every old man who tried to push me off my bike, I had 20 positive interactions with friendly people.
English Language
[caption id="attachment_4256" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="What Better Time Than Now? (mural on Wyspa Słodowa)"][/caption]
English speaking is still in its infancy here. You'll find that most younger people speak English, because in post-communist Poland they commonly teach English (and German) as second languages in school. If you interact with someone who grew up in, or went to school during, the communist era then English is much less common or completely non-existent.
Obviously this didn't affect me because I didn't speak English unless I was interacting with someone who didn't speak Polish.
I feel like the lack of English makes visiting a place more fun. For example, most of my interactions in Thailand were in "Traveler's Sign Language" because my Thai was limited to approximately 5 phrases. It's a fun challenge.
I wouldn't worry about the language barrier. Come visit! You'll figure it out.
The City of Wrocław[caption id="attachment_4232" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Odra River with the Katedra in the background."][/caption]
I'm completely biased, but I love this city. I love that it's big (~630,000 people), but has a small feel to it.
I love that there are bike lanes everywhere.
[caption id="attachment_4240" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="I rode my bike through these tunnels near Most (Bridge) Grunwaldzki almost daily."][/caption]
I love that there are massive parks throughout the city.
I love that the public transportation is safe and generally efficient. (Even though I used it less than 10 times since I rode my bike everywhere.)
I love that it's just touristy enough, but not overrun with tourists (like Kraków, for example).
[caption id="attachment_4233" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Rynek (Market Square) in the distance, straight ahead!"][/caption]
Wrocław is a very artsy city, which I also love. All over the city you will find art installations, some of them without explanation. The city is currently competing to be the European Capital of Culture for 2016 (Edit: they won!). More info here: http://www.wro2016.pl/en/

The CountryPoland is in transition. It's a member of the European Union (since 2004), and with that comes a lot of change. It is expected the country will adopt the Euro as its currency within 2-3 years, but a lot of people are saying it won't happen so soon. I obviously can't speculate. [Edit: This was written in 2010. It's now 2012 and Poland is still on the Złoty.)
It seems the whole country is under construction. For example, train stations across the country are currently being renovated. The whole time I've been in Wrocław, the main train station has been under construction. It's a massive complex and the first time my family visited Poland I distinctly remember taking the train from Berlin > Wrocław and being a little bit in awe of all the activity going on there.
[caption id="attachment_4231" align="aligncenter" width="375" caption="Train station renovations around Poland."][/caption]
I can't speak too much else of the country as a whole, since I spent the majority of my time in Wrocław. What I can state is that I feel a general sense of prosperity here. Although the per capita GDP is currently just over $11k USD, the economy has been growing steadily in the post-communist era.

Kangan: Hundreds of students staged a protest on Tuesday at Kangan Ganderbal, in central Kashmir against the shortage of teachers in their school.
Shouting slogans, the students from the Government High School Surfarw took out a protest rally forenoon and subsequently blocked the Srinagar-Leh highway near Hariganwan, Kangan.
The protest caused disruption in the traffic movement.
The protesters said the school only has nine teachers, while the five faculty posts have been lying vacant.
The 'inadequate' number of teachers in the school was affecting the studies of about 300 enrolled students, they said.
Despite taking up the issue with higher authorities, nothing has been done to resolve the issue, they said.
"Our school doesn't have sufficient staff. The government's claims of adequate staff in our school are based on papers," Javid Ahmad Khan, a student of 9th class who was among the protesters said.
The protest was called off after police and the local PDP candidate assured the protesters.
Later deputy chief education officer, Ganderbal, Sonaullah Mir, and zonal education officer, Hariganwan, visited the school and arranged two teachers for the school.

* I wear a $20 watch.
* One the weekends, I wear tracksuit pants from the early '90s
that are paint-splattered and I wear them HIGH so my ankles are
exposed - so comfy!
Hahaha,fabulous! I don't get Chloe thingface either!!! AND I also wear tall tights,but mostly to get them over my girth,but I like them under my booboids too!Brillant!XReplyDelete
When I paint my toenails, I paint my entire toe and I don't clean it up. I leave the "skin paint" on until it falls off naturally and then my toes look great after 3 days. I still wear open toed stuff during the 3 day window. I also have a ton of colored hair extension "streaks" that I often wear. I have purple, blue, pink, and a darker blue. Those are boring confessions.

Hey! I saw your comment on Isabel of Hipster Musing's Vote for Pedro blog post. If you're still interested in purchasing one of my teen angst shirts, I'd be honored to make you one. Just go to http://theemmaedition.bigcartel.comReplyDelete
Lol! This is to funny...
*Im 4'11 and till this day, still wear little kids clothes. It fits me just right.
*My hair is naturally wavy and i Always blow dry it straight and then curl it with the curling iron or pin curls.
*when in a hurry I too forget to blend in my concealer and end up walking around with green spots on my face.
*i always cut my pantyhose and turn them into stockings.
Aha love this post. Err I have so many slightly embarrassing fashion related confessions. I too wear tights until the crotch is torn and my big toe is poking through. Sometimes I wear clothes that I know have food related stains but cover it with a brooch! Do you wear the fake hair with your hair up? I am intrigued! xReplyDelete
Im short and get tall tights as well for some reason they are more comfortable. The rest of my list could go on and on. I am kind of wierd.ReplyDelete
I love this post! Ok I must confess...
- I have freakily sharp toes that put holes in all my socks and stockings so I can never wear peep-toe shoes
- I own a gazillion heels but scuff around in the same $3 op shop flats althouh they're falling apart, cause one day I'll be able to wear heels everywhere...*lol*
- I wear crazy bag lady outfits to the supermarket, just cause I can.
My only confession is that I only wear massive high-waisted full briefs. There are lots of nice lacy styles available now. I loathe & despise the way low cut briefs cut in below my stomach. Oh, and I will never perfect proper flicky eyeliner eyes.ReplyDelete
Fan of The Grande Dame now as I want to make the leap into wearing granny underwear, my belly just folds over these skimpy pantsReplyDelete
haha fun confessions :) its a great idea and i might do it as well for my blog!
i love the last one with the tracksuit and i also dont get chloe sevigny.. :D
Hahahah! You are funny!
I like tall tights, too. I'm a short-arsed skinny but I prefer them to cover my boobs rather than waddle about like a penguin with a dropped crotch. xxx
hahaha laughed my ass off!
I also do the same with pulling up the tights under my boobs.....weird....
The post and the above comments were all just fantastic!
Here is my tidbits:
- If I run out of blush I use pink eyeshadow and not necessarily the matte colors.
- I refuse to get my pants hemmed because I want to wear them with both heels and flats. So I safety pin them on the insides. I also rarely wear heels with pants.
- Lastly, I own a pair of ugg looking boots. They have holes in the soles and I still won't stop wearing them. They are tragic.
Oh, I love the idea with the tights. I always get that unslightly belly line (the one where the tights cut your not so flat belly in two). I'm thinking tall ones up to my boobs will fix that!

If the Atlantic Records recording artists, who play a concert Saturday at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, continue to build on the success that's followed them so far, they'll soon be music industry insiders.
'The Outsiders" is the title of the new album released Tuesday by Charleston, S.C., soul-rockers NeedToBreathe.
But if the Atlantic Records recording artists, who play a concert Saturday at Greenfield Lake Amphitheater, continue to build on the success that's followed them so far, they'll soon be music industry insiders.
"It's an exciting time," said NeedToBreathe frontman Bear Rinehart during a phone interview. "It's been a good couple of years for us, and there's a lot of buzz about the new record."
Rinehart, whose father, a pastor, named him after University of Alabama football coach Paul "Bear" Bryant (Rinehart's brother Bryant, who goes by "Bo," is a guitarist in NeedToBreathe), writes songs often described as "anthemic." Combining rock, soul, gospel, pop and Americana, NeedToBreathe has a big, earnest sound and some powerful, memorable songs.
One of the best on the new album is "Through Smoke," which derives a filmic quality from its measured, rhythmic pacing, stirring organ and piano fills and a backing chorus that sounds choir-like at times.
Rinehart's voice - strong and emotional, but always in control - is a constant.
Much of the band's early success has come in the Christian music market. The band's previous album, 2007's "The Heat," hit No. 164 on the Billboard charts but made it to No. 11 on Billboard's Christian Albums charts, as well as to No. 2 on the Top Heatseekers chart, which highlights sales by new acts.
The band members aren't trying to downplay their Christian backgrounds - many of the lyrics on "The Outsiders" have vaguely spiritual leanings, such as when Rinehart sings "give me the faith to believe/ in these hard times" on "These Hard Times." But a press release from Atlantic touting their local show and new album didn't mention it.
The press release did play up the band's crossover success on Triple-A radio and appearances of their songs on MTV show "The Hills" and the soundtrack of the movie "P.S. I Love You."
Still, it isn't NeedToBreathe's style to hit folks over the head with their beliefs or their music, a tendency that has probably enabled them to cross over from the strictly Christian music market.
For his part, Rinehart seems like he's ambitious but not in a hurry.
"Atlantic, I think, has been really smart with us the last couple of years," Rinehart said. "We begged them to let us develop. We really want to be around for a long time. We want to learn how to write songs and we want to learn to be a live band and build it from the ground up and not burn out bright."

I am paid commission from the companies I book vacations with - Disney, Universal Vacations, Norwegian Cruise Lines, etc. You will pay the same amount of money booking a trip with me as you would if you booked it directly through the company itself. And sometimes I am able to find a better deal because of the special promotions that are available. A reservation transfer may be an option if you have already booked a vacation.
As a Dream Vacation Planner (DVP) I work strictly off of commission and I hope that if you decide to book a vacation you will choose to book your vacation with me. Please keep this in mind if I do a lot of research on a vacation for you. Regardless of the number of hours I put toward helping a client plan, I am not paid hourly,

If you ever see a charge that you think is fraudulent contact your credit card company immediately.
What will you do for me that I cannot do for myself?
