In 1996 most of us found an explosion regarding on-line casinos that taken throughout the whole world. Often the United States saw a big increase in both on-line casinos and players. That surge of online players worried this land-based gambling establishment proprietors and so they lobbied to have it quit or perhaps at least slowed all the way down. Many people knew if that pace carried on they might see more of the decrease in profits. And so they lobbied Congress challenging and in 06\ typically the US passed the Outlawed Internet Gambling Enforcement Work (or UIGEA).
The UIGEA act prohibited all this banking companies and payment cpus by processing any type of transactions in connection with on the internet gambling. This developed an issue for participants in running and withdrawing money from their on the net accounts. While typically the organizations continued to work they had to make use of repayment processors that could elude such restrictions. Despite these laws related to on-line gambling, several on the net gambling dens continued to help acknowledge gamers from the USA.
On the other hand, many of the larger on the internet brands left the US market place, the choices intended for players grew to become highly confined. Many stated this was very hard to find a better on-line casino. A lot of critiques sites started off to pop up the fact that directed players to the particular sites they so seriously seemed for. Some connected with these sites were much better than others, but they provided the need the fact that was created. Soon after this market had started to be able to stabilize and players were playing online again Dark Friday reach the online gaming entire world.
Many casinos had identified a technique around the deposit plus withdrawal problems and often the internet gambling world was increasing once more. Many started to help feel invincible to this new laws. The us government seemed to be not necessarily really improving this and it seemed like among the no intentions connected with doing thus. slotxo had been certainly a false impression of security for both equally players and on-line internet casinos. Apr 15, 2011, is going to go along in history as the day the net gambling sector was penalized and punished hard. It had been the start of a good new era. The US Team of Justice incurred the principals of the 3 main poker sites Online poker Celebrities, Full Tilt Texas holdem in addition to Absolute Poker with standard bank fraud, illegal gambling crimes, and laundering billions involving us dollars in outlawed casino earnings. The DOJ grabbed his or her domain names in addition to their funds. All of a sudden several US players had been not merely left with nowhere to be able to play, but no means to heal their very own cash.
Black Thursday required numerous more gambling brands in order to leave the US. All people was when again struggling to find innovative spots to play, worried should they would ever get their cash back, and asking yourself when anybody was heading to stay in the united states market. A major strike had been struck to on-line casino and many wondered if it would make it through. Again the overview web sites played a major purpose in finding places with regard to gamers to play. Nowadays the market was very limited and it has been a fight to find online sites. Once again often the market slowly began for you to stabilize and things completed down a bit. The market was initially damaged but survived.
The subsequent major function was Dark Monday. Grey Monday noticed more domain name names and gaming procedures seized. There were two main distinctions with these kinds of seizures. This time equally big and small web-sites were gripped. Many diverse industries in the field were arrested as well as online poker, gambling dens, sports textbooks and even bingo. Essentially no a single was harmless now. Right now the measurement of the company have not make any difference anymore. Nor did the industry you were in. This round involving seizures was experienced everyone throughout the gambling sector. The full effects connected with this seizure have not really been sensed yet but there is now also less online US internet casinos available. Will the field survive? It remains for you to be seen but coach anyone how to hit hard.

I'm just trying to get people to take a step back and see it from a different perspective. To the fans that lost out on the concert (even though they can attend another show), it's a big deal. To the gay couple that has a restaurant refuse to cater their wedding (even though they can go to another restaurant), it's a big deal. To a person who is dying because they haven't eaten for days or a child currently being held captive and abused, they both seem like "first world problems indeed". Matter of fact, most of the issues we argue about in this country would seem like first world problems
Soooo, not really feeling sympathy for folks who can still pick from many other restaurants to cater their wedding instead of Joe Homophobe's Pizza Place. First world problems indeed. I don't really feel that way, just pointing out that different things mean a lot to different people. I feel some level of sympathy for all involved, but to someone who is going to die in the next five minutes because they have had no food or water for days, or to a parent who helplessly watches their child die of a cancer for which there is no cure, they would gladly change places with a person on either s

Their first album was hit or miss for me, but then I saw them do a 3 song live radio gig at a little cafe last year and was very impressed. The fact that Aaron Dessner produced and wrote the horn and string arrangements has me very excited for the new album. I picked it up but haven't listened yet. They were pretty great on Letterman last night too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8A_6gKFItwc

marino13 replied to lost highway's topic in Tongue-Tied Lightning
I understand. These threads usually get ugly (this one has actually been pretty civil by comparison), and I am referring more to the posts by music fans that say you're a simple minded idiot if you believe in anything but science.
I assume everyone on this board is a huge fan of music. I've seen this same argument on other music boards. It always surprises me how some people can be so into the beauty of the creation of music, and be totally moved by a concert experience that puts you on another plane, and not feel that there is something out there bigger than us. It's hard to put into words what I feel at a concert, when the band is locked in together, producing something greater than their individual parts. The crowd is there, in harmony, all for the same purpose. It can be euphoric, and the last thing I want to d

marino13 replied to Ghost of Electricity's topic in Someone Else's Song
I've been very lucky that my 9 and 3 yr old daughters like a lot of the stuff I listen to. My oldest is a budding piano singer/songwriter who wants to be like Regina Spektor someday and just learned to play "Samson" by ear. My youngest was calmed as a baby by playing Radiohead In Rainbows - From the Basement and by singing Fake Plastic Trees. As far as Wilco, the oldest loves Sky Blue Sky and Walken, and the youngest is more a fan of The Whole Love. They like pop radio stuff as well, but I let them get their fill (as long as the songs are appropriate) so they don't rebel against my music.

Just picked that one up this morning and listened to a few of the songs. What do you think? Reminds me of First Aid Kit. Very good harmonies. Wish it had more dynamics from what I've heard so far. Still, pretty phenomenal for a 16 and 18 yr. old. My 9 yr. old has played a few gigs and is starting to write her own music, so I'm very interested in listening to younger artists.

Actually saw this concert tour on AXS TV about a month ago. The lineup was Everclear, Live, Sponge and Filter. Live's lead singer was wearing a shirt, but he did have a mohawk.
Tips for the show....

They also get in earlier than 4:30, but I am guessing the number of people who went that route is limited and getting close will be very doable.

The shaman is an important figure in the Native American community. He communicates with the spirit world through the interpretation of telluric phenomena. This large width print displays shamanic visions and portraits of Native Americans, reduced to their distinctive elements: war paint and headdresses.

Report: Drew Brees actually has 11 rib fractures
Drew Brees was placed on injured reserve by the New Orleans Saints this week, and new information makes it very easy to see why he has to miss a few weeks.
Brees entered Week 10 with three rib fractures suffered against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 9. Then Brees took this big hit from Kentavius Street in the second quarter of the Saints' win over the 49ers and suffered two more rib fractures on his left side. He also had a collapsed lung.
ESPN's Ed Werder, who shared the initial report about Brees' five rib fractures, shared more information on Saturday about the quarterback's status. Werder says doctors have discovered six more rib factures, giving Brees a total of 11 he is recovering from.
In a conversation tonight with Drew Brees, the Saints quarterback said that doctors have been encouraged by his progress — specifically improvement in lung function and the continued dissipation of the pneumothorax suffered last week. They've also discovered 6 more rib fractures.
— Ed Werder (@WerderEdESPN) November 22, 2020
Brees had X-rays, CAT scans and has been seen by doctors every other day this week. They have now confirmed eight rib fractures on his left side and three on the right. That's more than double the total from testing performed on Monday that revealed five rib fractures.
Being placed on IR ensures Brees will miss at least three games. He could miss even more if he needs further time to heal.
The Saints have a few options at quarterback and are making a surprising choice for Week 11 with Brees unavailable.

The flooding in Houston due to Hurricane Harvey will "lead to a fire or explosion within the next six days," according to the CEO of Arkema. The company's chemical plant in Crosby produces organic peroxides for plastic and rubber producers, but the refrigeration at the plant has failed due to flooding. As a result, volatile chemicals are beginning to degrade at an alarming rate.
Organic peroxides require refrigeration in order to prevent them from exploding. CEO Richard Rowe added that there's no way to prevent an explosion or a fire at the plan, he warned residents in Crosby yesterday. He said, "At this time, while we do not believe there is any imminent danger, the potential for a chemical reaction leading to a fire and/or explosion within the site confines is real."
"We believe that any sustained environmental impact should be minimal," he added in a conference call today.
Shortly after the warning, residents who lived with a mile and a half of the Arkema plant were evacuated by Harris County firefighters. Facility managers are in touch with both Harris County officials and the Department of Homeland Security as they remotely monitor the temperature of the chemical facility.
Before the evacuation, plant workers attempted to move the organic peroxides into refrigerated containers powered by emergency generators. However, the flooding exceeded the capacity of the secondary generators, and workers abandoned the plant.
One of the Most Potentially Dangerous Sites in Houston
In 2016, Arkema's Crosby plant was analyzed in a report from Texas A&M University. It was revealed to be among the sites with the highest potential for harm in the Houston area, were an incident to occur. Sam Mannan of the Mary Kay O'Connor Process Safety Center at Texas A&M noted that it would be surprising if the company had not considered a situation like this before.
Companies that produce organic peroxides can normally douse volatile chemicals with another chemical to render it inert—which raises the question of whether Arkema had the ability to prevent this issue earlier, had they been willing to sacrifice their inventory of organic peroxides.

Spring cleaning continues!: Gramma Ray's Blog
Total Visits: 17,471,738
Home > Spring cleaning continues!
0Today was a productive day. After a fun date night with my 7 yo granddaughter last night, she woke up a little after 7am and we made some refrigerator cinnamon rolls- (a grandkid favorite- they were on sale, and at 10 minutes to bake, they were too easy to pass up after a long tiring week) Gramma had some much needed coffee too. After her mom picked her up, I started cleaning the back patio. Last weekend I brought my vintage hutch in from out there and all the stuff that came out of it needed to either find a new home, be donated or tossed. (Most of it was tossed. I am very pleased with the results this afternoon! My patio is cleaned and swept, the patio furniture is scrubbed, toys are all organized and I am ready to spend some Spring time out there! DD3 and I loaded up a big box and a bag full of Goodwill donations. Clothes, books, knicknacks, misc dishes, etc. We took the hubs truck (and I drove, to make sure I would be ok driving it). That went fine- Im not sure why I have always been intimidated by it. After dropping off the Goodwill stuff, we stopped by the dollar store and I got a few things to hand out to grandkids tomorrow. Just little stuff. Their moms are also starting their spring cleaning and have been donating/tossing as much as possible, so I didnt feel a need to buy more stuff. I spent $18, which was a candy, sidewalk chalk and a ball or bubbles each child. I also bought a new bucket to use for general cleaning and watering some of the plants here...(I noticed my old bucket had cracked and so it got tossed this morning). We stopped for groceries that should last for most of the week ($58)- which is a big bag of chicken, some pasta, black bean soup fixins, milk, fruits and veggies. DD2 asked if we (DD3 and I) could keep Z tonight. DD3 has missed him and wanted to spent time with him, not knowing how much longer we will have him..and so he has been here all afternoon. He is so stinking adorable. We watched "Wreck it Ralph"- a very cute movie, but at 2, Z is still pretty young to understand much of it...but he sat on my lap the whole movie laughed with gramma and kept telling me how funny it was. He conked out about an hour ago and is asleep in the big bed. After Z wakes from his nap, DD3 will take over most of the babysitting tonight. I plan to read, finish laundry and tackle a closet or two. I received the $208 check in the mail for the refund on the cabin reservation that I cancelled. I was hoping the refund would arrive without problem, and it did..Now to wait for the check to clear! :) Today was a great day. Tomorrow we are all invited to DD1s for brunch. Then, I just plan to relax and enjoy the rest of the day here at home. asdf123

Sounds productive. Have a great Easter with your family.

My kids loved Wreck It Ralph. I thought it was pretty stupid, but it's hard to dislike something that makes them laugh so much...Happy Easter to you and your family!

stars Foundation Chengdu Trip
> stars Foundation Chengdu Trip stars Foundation Chengdu Trip
Monday, 2 May 2016 20:23 | Written by Peter Hody Print Chengdu The Swiss stars Foundation in April organized a study trip to Chengdu in China. Here are some impression gained during the five-day trip, for which finews.asia was a media partner.
China's economic expansion has been slowing down markedly in recent quarters and the worry is that there will be a hard landing. Li Keqiang, the country's prime minister, in March presented the new five-year plan valid until 2020 at the 12th National People's Congress.
China's government has big plans for the economy and targets growth rates of 6.5 to 7 percent. It wants to achieve a changeover of the country's economy, away from a production-driven to innovation-driven business world.
Li Keqiang expects the big conurbations to boost growth. Chengdu in southwest China is one of the places that needs to transmit the pace of economic growth on to the economically weaker west of the country.
The stars Foundation of Switzerland organized a study trip and a symposium in Chengdu, which took place from the 10th through the 15th of April 2016. Some 60 guests and speakers attended the events. The foundation's aim was to identify tomorrow's business leaders and to give them a platform to communicate, exchange views and to network with each other.

Stars Foundation has close links with numerous big companies, which sent their brightest young leaders to Chengdu. The group was complemented by representatives of the science community, the media (finews.asia), government administration and NGOs.
The events carried the title «China and the World – The Decisive Years» and speakers included Michael Barbalas, member of the board of the American Chamber of Commerce in China, Ulrich Birch, until recently chairman of the board of the European Chamber of Commerce in China for Southwest China, Joerg Wuttke, president of the European Chamber of Commerce in China, Lim Sion Guang, president of GIC Singapore, Uli Sigg, arts collectors and former Swiss ambassador to China, Huang Jing, professor and director at the Centre on Asia and Globalization at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy.

6. Autocross wise, NMS-North reports that driving with the New York Region SCCA was a bit of a change from the previous three years with the Tidewater Sports Car Club, Old Dominion Region SCCA, and before that with the South Carolina Region SCCA. Combined with a new job and busy work schedule, we weren't able to compete for any wins, but had fun driving at some two locations on Long Island. Plans for 2019 are still not final, but with other clubs like the Northern New Jersey SCCA region competing regularly at a larger lot at MetLife Stadium, we just might be heading west a few times.

Name the Hot Wheels monster truck | Torque News
Not satisfied with building a real Hot Wheels track and sending a Team Hot Wheels driver down it at the Indy 500 back in May, Team Hot Wheels has now got its own lifesize monster truck, that will be driven by a Team hot Wheels driver at Monster Jam events in 2012 and 2013. Makes good sense to me, since I'd expect a large part of the audience at Monster Jam shows to be into Hot Wheels.
"Monster Jam embodies what Hot Wheels is all about – over-the-top action, awesome power, showmanship and giving fans the ultimate in fantastical vehicle experiences," said Simon Waldron, vice president of marketing for Hot Wheels. "We're ready to take on Monster Jam in a big way with Team Hot Wheels and give fans the opportunity to name our truck."
You can check out the truck in the video below, before hopping over the Team Hot Wheels site to help your kids vote on the name. Warning—they'll also see lots of cool toys on the site which they'll probably want. The site also offers free games which feature Hot Wheels products.
Name choices for the new truck are:
The winning name will be announced on March 24, 2012, at the Monster Jam World Finals in, where else? Las Vegas. I rather like Gasket Case myself.
Whatever it ends up being called, the new truck is sure to make a name for itself. It's apparently the first monster truck to be built with current laminate technology. It's built of Kevlar, carbon fiber and E-glass. It's 11 feet high, 17 feet long, and weighs 10,000 pounds, which is apparently half what an equivalent truck made of fiberglass would weigh. Under the hood is a 1,500 horsepower engine.
"The newly built Team Hot Wheels monster truck has an extremely unique body style and look which will make it stand out from the other monster trucks in a way that is consistent with the Team Hot Wheels brand," said Charlie Mancuso, president of Feld Motor Sports® (producer of the Monster Jam events). "Keep an eye out for some exclusive videos that will be released in a couple months featuring Monster Jam and the Team Hot Wheels monster truck."
The truck can be seen in person at various Advance Auto Parts Monster Jam events across the United States, beginning with a January 6 and 7 performance in Des Moines, Iowa. Take ear plugs, it's sure to be loud.

Website: www.brandywinepeace.com (see EVENTS)
This event is one of the dozens of Campaign Nonviolence actions
taking place nationwide during September, 2014, many of them
organized by groups with a strong history of protesting drones
killings and drone surveillance.
See the full list of actions nationwide.
Perhaps the single most significant consequence of the advent of killer drones is that they allow the state to efficiently separate war-making from the emotional involvement of the people of the country using them. In other words, with the coming of drone warfare, we have been denied the opportunity for empathy with those affected by our (direct and indirect) actions.
(See Why is "Ending the military drone program" a pillar of Campaign Nonviolence?)
Fifty demonstrators of all political stripes marched in front of Horsham's Air National Guard Base on Saturday 4/28, in protest of its upcoming conversion to a drone command center. The event, which received coverage by local media, was organized by Horsham native Sean Miller, who reported that he was motivated to action by learning that drones would be piloted from the area in which he grew up.
(See April Days of Action Against Drones Concludes at Horsham Air National Guard Base )
The Horsham protests are part of a longstanding series of protests in and around Philadelphia against drone warfare and other forms of militarism.
(See Successful vigil against drone death on 3/1 in Philadelphia)
Iowa is resisting the establishment of a drone command center, too. As reported via a well-crafted video report in the Des Moines Register, over 100 Catholic Workers and members of Veterans for Peace, among other Iowans, arose on St. Patrick's day at the 132nd Air National Guard base to bear witness to those killed by drone warfare and to deliver an indictment to base commanders in protest of the base's conversion to one that will be used to pilot drones.

Manny Diaz to coach at Miami after Mark Richt retires | Las Vegas Review-Journal
Manny Diaz is back at Miami, before he ever left. And a whirlwind day for the Hurricanes has Diaz taking over as the school's head football coach.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. — Manny Diaz is back at Miami, before he ever left. And a whirlwind day for the Hurricanes has Diaz taking over as the school's head football coach.
Diaz agreed Sunday night to become Miami's coach — hours after Mark Richt stunned the school by announcing his retirement. The Hurricanes announced the move about 10 hours after Richt's retirement was made public.
Diaz was Miami's defensive coordinator under Richt for three years, and agreed earlier this month to take over as the coach at Temple.
"Miami is home," Diaz said. "The University of Miami is home. The U has truly been 'the job' for me since I first got into coaching. Having worked here over the past three years, I came to understand what it means to be part of 'The U' and came to appreciate the passion and commitment to excellence of all who proudly call themselves Canes.
James said around 3:30 p.m. that a nationwide search was underway. Turns out, he didn't need to look anywhere else.
"I hate the way this unfolded with respect to Temple," Diaz said. "I was given a tremendous opportunity to lead the Temple program and I was actively engaged in doing just that when I woke up this morning. I never saw this coming, no one did. I do hope that the Temple players, administration and fans appreciate the uniqueness of this situation and the overwhelming pull to stay home."
Richt didn't immediately speak out about Diaz's hiring.
It's a safe guess that he likes the move.
James said he was hoping to hire a coach who would keep Miami's defensive staff intact, at least on some level.
Diaz will almost certainly do that. His hiring won't immediately solve the offensive problems. But the defense — Miami's calling card — should remain strong.
"We are disappointed that he is leaving, but wish him the best as he returns home," Temple athletic director Patrick Kraft said.
July 10, 2020 - 4:20 pm July 10, 2020 - 7:42 pm
The Pac-12 announced Friday it would play a conference-only schedule this season, meaning UNLV will not play California and Arizona State at Allegiant Stadium.

Ehri ‘s studies show that trying to recognize thousands of words from their visual appearance alone (pattern recognition) is almost impossible. It is the “speech memory” that is the key. How do you remember a new telephone number as you walk to the phone? You say it to yourself. How do you decode and store a new word that you encounter as you’re reading Anna Karenina or Harry Potter? You “sound-it-out” and pronounce it.
I’m reading a new book about reading by Mark Seidenberg– Language at the Speed of Sight. He carefully and adroitly explains what science has learned about how children learn to read, and describes the huge gap between what science has learned and how reading is actually taught in most schools. He cites studies that show that teachers are tending to cling to old ideas rather than looking for new discoveries from cognitive and neuroscience reading research. Here’s a great quote from John F.Kennedy: “[t]oo often we hold fast to the cliches of our forebears. We subject all facts to a prefabricated set of interpretations. We enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought.”

Stradbroke's Quandamooka people back Cleveland Harbour revamp
Updated June 23, 2015 — 12.04pm first published June 22, 2015 — 7.43pm
A multi-million dollar plan to redevelop Cleveland's Toondah Harbour has the backing of the indigenous people who live on Moreton Bay and North Stradbroke Island.

Many of the 280 employees who will lose their jobs with sand mining company Sibelco are indigenous people.
The Queensland Government has yet to develop a formal plan to find replacement jobs
On Friday development firm Walkers – which has developed Balmain Cove, The Wharf in Woolloomooloo, Sydney's King Street Wharf and Hope Island on the Gold Coast – on Friday released initial drawings for their Toondah Harbour concept.
The Quandamooka people – custodial owners of the Moreton Bay and Stradbroke islands - believe the harbour redevelopment offers good job opportunities.
Quandamooka CEO Cameron Costello on Monday said they had met with Walkers and supported their plan to redevelop the harbour.
"We are totally in support of an upgrade to the Toondah Harbour area," Mr Costello said.
His said the Quandamooka people's only concern was the steady progress towards native title reconciliation, some environmental issues around the size of the proposed 800-berth marina and some cultural heritage matters.
"It now has to go through the extensive environmental permit processes and if those occur – and the environmental protections are in place – the Quandamooka people believe it provides a great opportunity to provide employment."
Mr Costello said he had met with Walker Group designers to discuss plans for a Quandamooka cultural space at the revamped harbour.
"They are quite experienced in heritage design, so we feel more comfortable that there is someone of their expertise involved," he said.
"At this early stage they have engaged with us and we hope that this continues."
Mr Costello said the Quandamooka people – who have put forward strategic plans for the phase-out of sand mining on Stradbroke Island – said they hoped there could be a formal arrangement for indigenous employment on Quandamooka land.
The Queensland Government on Friday suggested 1000 jobs could be provided for construction workers and 500 jobs after construction finished.
Acting Premier Jackie Trad said the Queensland Government would move forward with the project and test its environmental qualities.
Ms Trad said a formal development agreement would be established between Walkers, Redland council and the state government.
"The next step will be community engagement and the critical environmental impact and development assessment processes and steps."
Redland City Council Mayor Karen Williams said the project was the most important in half a century for the Redlands community without ratepayer's money.
"By delivering this approach, we have ensured our community will gain all the benefits of better infrastructure, a deeper harbour and world-class waterfront boulevards and open spaces without the burden of having to pay for it," she said.
Walker Group Holdings Queensland general manager Peter Saba welcomed the milestone agreement.
"You won't simply go there to catch a ferry to North Stradbroke Island; our proposal is to create a destination in its own right," Mr Saba said.

Standing Strong Through the Storm - March 6 - Daily Devotional
Standing Strong Through the Storm - March 6
STORE GOD'S WORD IN YOUR HEART
Russian pastor Ivan Antonov spent a total of 24 years in prison for preaching the Gospel. In November 1988, at the age of 69 he was released from Siberian exile. In reflection, he shares what he found to be "most important of all":
While in prison camp, I felt that my primary ministry was prayer. Like Daniel, I prayed three times a day, opening the windows of my heart toward my friends in freedom. I also prayed for our persecutors. I would sing hymns. I was really glad I knew so many. I had memorized about one hundred seventy hymns, and in order not to forget them, I reviewed several every day. So over a time, I sang through all of them.
I want to emphasize to my young friends that you should worship God with songs and poems and memorize them. They will come in handy. But most important of all, you should study and memorize the Word of God. When I was in prison and camp, I had no Bible, but I was able to review what I had stored in my heart. I went over two chapters from the Old Testament and two chapters from the New Testament every day. This experience reminded me of Joseph in Egypt. During the time of abundance, he was laying aside stores of grain. When the famine came, he distributed grain from these stores, and the people were saved from starvation…
These Scriptures were food for my soul. I sang hymns every morning and at night before going to bed. God always woke me up in the morning, an hour and a half or two hours before the morning bell. This gave me time to pray and to meditate in peace, because once everyone else was up, there was too much noise and shouting. It was impossible to concentrate. So in those quiet hours, I would go outside in the fresh air and sing hymns of praise to God and pray…
After his release Ivan Antonov returned to the prisons and camps where he had earlier "done time"—but now to share Christ with the current prisoners. He was excited to report that fifty of these criminals were seriously studying God's Word and expressed a desire to start a new life in Christ.
RESPONSE: Today I will store God's Word in my heart so I have a basis for meditation should I be deprived of my Bible.
PRAYER: Thank You, Lord, for inspiring testimonies of great men like Ivan who show us how to stand strong.

15- to 49-year old working mothers, wives and ladies among 14M, affected by Philippine RH Law non-implementation – CPM News Asia
By MARC GUERRERO
PHILIPPINE bills passed by Congress and Senate and signed by the President into law do not automatically execute itself for the best interest of its citizens.
I covered the House of Representatives and learned that a few laws passed, specially if funds for such laws are not readily available for some reasons, remained in effect, but in letters only (signed, recorded and archived) and not in the full spirit of the law. People cannot expect those laws to have more and stronger teeth to, as legislators always declared during the administration of President Ramon Magsaysay [xxxx-xxxx], "to protect those who have less in life."
Majority of working women from among the 14 million identified by the Population Commission (PopCom) is badly affected by the non-implementation of the Philippine Reproductive Health (RH) Law.
PopCom told CPM News Asia, "During the past four years after the RH bill was signed into law, about one year had lapsed for its full (effective and efficient) implementation."
Budget issues are a flimsy excuses for the full execution of the law in the 21st century (or circa-21).
I used to do market communication for Friendly-Care Foundation in the 1990s. It is a US Agency for International Development (USAID) program that kept watch over population explosion by and through a massive campaign to use contraceptive technologies. Nearly a dozen McDo-type Friendly-Care clinics across The Philippines that offered contraceptive technologies were funded by USAID, initially, with PhP500 million resources, annually. When America shifted its focus to anti-terrorism, and population funds were slashed, Friendly-Care made do with operations budget that went down to P50 million. We do not hear much about the fancy-looking clinics nowadays.
THE "Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Republic Act No10354)," informally known as the Reproductive Health Law or RH Law, guarantees universal access to methods of contraception, fertility control, sexual education, and maternal care, according to Wikipedia.
Passage of the legislation was controversial and highly divisive, with experts, academics, religious institutions, and major political figures declaring their support or opposition while it was pending in the legislature. Heated debates and rallies both supporting and opposing the RH Bill took place nationwide.
The Supreme Court delayed implementation of the law in March 2013 in response to challenges. On April 8, 2014, the Court ruled that the law was "not unconstitutional" but struck down eight provisions partially or in full.
Working mothers, wives, sisters and ladies of ages 15 to 49 years old, specially those belonging to lower- to middle- to upper-middle economic classes of the society, from among the 14 million identified by PopCom, may get sick, worsen their impoverished plight or die because free family planning services are not readily available to them.
ON the 10th of October, 2016, reproductive health advocates led by the Department of Health (DOH), the Philippine Center for Population and Development, and community women went to the Supreme Court to question its decision that restricted the country's family planning program, effectively limiting the full implementation of RH Law.
Likhaan Center for Women's Health executive director Dr Junice Melgar explains how the Supreme Court's TRO on the certification of contraceptive products will have an adverse impact on women's reproductive health — with Junice L. Demeterio Melgar and Likhaan Center for Women's Health.
DOH led the filing of motion for reconsideration (MR) of the SC temporary restraining order (TRO) on the RH Law. Before the MR filing, JR Santiago and DOH Assistant Secretary Dr Eric Tayag, PopCom executive director Dr Juan Antonio (dok Jeepy) A Perez III, Food and Drug Administration (FDA) executive director Nela Charade Puno, DOH secretary, Dr Pauline Ubial, and Forum for Family Planning and Development executive director Ben de Leon, posed with the ala-Duterte punch to drive home their points of view regarding RH.
https://www.facebook.com/CommissiononPopulationNationalCapitalRegion/videos/1760484680838858/
DR JEEPY Perez of PopCom is true to form. His agency is strongly supporting the DOH move in the highest court.
Dok Jeepy was described by his colleagues as always "walking the talk."
A son of the original Manila Times publisher (second to the journalism elder statesman Chino Roces), dok Jeepy – a typical doctor to the barrio (specially during the heydays of the late Juan Flavier, a health statesman) – told this author during our younger days that "he did not take up Medicine in order to amass wealth."
Any Juan or Juana or Juanito and Juanita can easily approach dok Jeepy for check up at any given time anywhere he went.
He never asked for any doctor's fee of fifty pesos to PhP300.00 to P500.00 and more from his patients. It is gratis et amore, for the love of the physician's passion for healing people.
I remember dok Jeepy recalling how ordinary barrio folk who cannot pay any money just shower their favourite barrio doctor with their produce (eggs, chickens, vegetables, fruits, fish and seafood) as their tokens of thanks, appreciation and gratitude.
These days (circa-21), young interns take up MD and specialize in aesthetic medicine and similar hot courses in medicine schools "to become millionaires," if they are not yet.
Dok Jeepy used to be a leader of SDK or Samahang Demokratikong Kabataan (Democratic youth organization) during the 1970s activism era. He still serves his fallen comrades in more proactive healthier ways than one. His foot is always in his mouth. Nice to see him again on the streets. CPM

Just What Should An Electronic Product Include?
This entry was posted in Uncategorized on July 8, 2011 by Jason
As a part of Legendary Games, we don't want to follow we want to lead. Given our authors, our content is going to be all-star quality. But I wanted to make sure we had the product presentation to match. So I wanted to really rethink what an electronic product should be.
Observation: Right now, publishers simply are not taking advantage of the electronic format. In fact, most people are simply making "pdfs of books." Now, that makes sense if you are a print publisher because a side effect of making a print product is that it creates a pre-press pdf which can quickly and with little effort be converted to a for sale pdf.
Question 1: But what if you are an "electronic first" publisher, like we are? Well then, its time to throw away the presumptions that come with the "pdf of a book" mentality.
Question 2: Why do people do that? Two reasons: 1. lack of innovation/safety, and 2. customer expectations. Its easy to simply do what is already done. Its also safe. No risk. But we aren't about that. Also, customers are simply used to getting books and a pdf of a product in a book format is easily accepted by customers who are used to getting books. Thus the vicious cycle of lack of innovation persists.
Of course, the side effect is that the "pdf of a book" approach really fails to capitalize on the strengths of electronic products.
So what does all that mean? Well, I started rethinking all the presumptions that go into a book and asked myself "if that presumption doesn't help our product, why are we doing it?"
Here are some key issues that I will be grappling with:
Landscape orientation. Seriously, portrait doesnt even really fit well on a laptop screen or an iPad. This is, in my view, the first and most obvious change. But the "pdf of a book" mentality persists in this layout flaw. What you want on an electronic product is content that has a "page" that matches the size of your screen as much as possible. You don't want to scroll down for the rest of the page, you'd rather follow a link to new content.
Link to other resources. Sure, anyone can bookmark inside the product itself. I'm talking about links to other sources on the web. If you have an electronic product, you likely are also connected to the net. If so, that needs to be utilized. Do you need a link to the Heal skill? Probably not. But do you need it to the "cunning" weapon quality? Sure. Or perhaps a sidebar with a link to the requirements for fighting a Tiny sized opponent? Yes. That is helpful. That takes advantage of the electronic format. Failing to do that fails to maximize the value of your product format.
"Cover art with title" versus "home page" cover. Ah, cover art. This is probably the biggest hangup other than portrait layout. People just expect cover art. But a cover with art and a title, while pretty and great for a product that sits on a shelf, is essentially not useful for an electronic product. But customers expect it. The other issue is cost. With print products, the two biggest costs are the printing and second is the cover art (normally). Electronic products bypass the issue of printing, but have by their own choice retained the need for cover art. I propose that be reconsidered. I propose that a more functional cover would be a "home page" type of layout. Now, that may include art. But that is not the centerpiece. You will see some of this "home page" versus "cover art with title" ideas in the layout of our products.
These are just a few of the many, many ideas we have come up with to reshape and challenge the idea of electronic products. You'll see more as our first products start rolling out next month.
Rest assured, however, that we will always provide a "traditional" layout of each product in a black and white, low ink using format for those who like to print products out and put them in binders. Think of it like the blu-ray combo packs for movies these days where you get the free traditional DVD format of the movie along with the blu-ray version. We want to meet the needs of ALL the gamers. We don't want to leave anyone behind while at the same time pushing the envelope of product design.
Bottom line: we are challenging the old notions and discarding those that get in the way of making the best, most useful products for you the Paizo fan.

Theme 4 Flashcards by Damian Meertens | Brainscape
Theme 4 Flashcards Preview
Macro Economics > Theme 4 > Flashcards
Flashcards in Theme 4 Deck (58):
Trade liberalisation vs. protectionism
Protectionism => import substitution - as there is a reduced ability for consumers to import foreign goods, they must substitute these for now cheaper domestic goods
Trade liberalisation => economic theory suggests that in the long run, output and growth of output will be lower than it would otherwise have been as the country cannot benefit from specialisation & protectionism leads to dynamic inefficiency because there is no incentive to reduce costs or improve products as the there is a lack of foreign competition - opposite for liberalised trade
- poorly targeted if everyone in the population can buy the good (both rich and poor benefit) as it widens the income gap
- economic theory would suggest that welfare would probably be higher if poor households were given cash payments rather than subsidies, since this would allow them, as rational consumers, to make the spending decision in their own best interest
- large opportunity cost may develop
- can become a major source of corruption internationally, involving smuggling due to different costs e.g. fuel from Venezuela
- the eventual removal of subsidies can be problematic => can be alright if removal is during fall in market price for instance
+/- of floating ER system
+ no intervention required & no worries about gold and foreign currency reserves
- volatile currency -> may deter investors who prefer stability & can lead to large swings in macroeconomic variables like X and M which may damage a country's economy, especially if it is reliant on exports for instance
What is a tiered ER system and why does it not work in reality
It looks to fix a number of different ERs, for instance different ones for M and X.
Generally does not work because of: black markets, imperfect information, corruption
+/- of developing a financial sector
Consumers/firms/government must be able to save and borrow money to increase its spending power, as well as enabling the transferring of assets and liabilities from now into the future and having insurance - saving facilitates borrowing.
HOWEVER: unlikely to be successful with very low-income households - solution might be microfinance & mobile phone banking services
+/- of FDI and joint ventures
+ inflows of FDI add to the resources which can be given over to investment, helping to close an savings gap* or foreign currency gap* and associated transfers of knowledge to add to human and physical capital
- can be associated with exploitation of smaller firms
+/- of privatisation
+ market forces result in firms cutting their average coasts to a minimum leading to productive efficiency
- privatised monopolies face no competitive pressure & there may be corruption in the process of privatisation
+/- of buffer stock schemes
+ encourages firms to invest by stabilising (commodity) prices & prevents sharp falls in prices, that may send the poorest farmers into absolute poverty through net falls in income & consumers will also benefit from less price volatility
- hight capital, administrative and transport cost & those funding the stock must feel there are sufficient gains for themselves as there may be positive externalities towards third parties & minimum prices tend to be set too high, which is unsustainable in the long term & may be issues with deterioration of food stocks for instance
Explain the Lewis Model
The industrialisation of the economy can be seen as an objective of development. Assuming that marginal workers in rural areas add nothing to the output of the rural economy, the workers could gradually be transferred into the urban higher productivity sector - the rate of transfer dependent on the rate of capital accumulation in the modern sector of the economy
Issues with the Lewis Model
Causality - government built infrastructure ( => forced industrialisation) will not necessarily spark economic growth. It has tended to lead to a waste of scarce resources as these industries have failed.
Marginal workers cities often have as low incomes and be as underemployed as marginal workers in the countryside
=> encouraging rural depopulation will simply lead to urban poverty, not increased affluence.
+/- of primary industry development
+ can be advantageous as it leads to rapid economic growth with lots of exports and the exploitation of comparative advantage, particularly if this is followed by sufficient diversification of the economy
- is very risky due to the potential collapse of prices
- can lead to appreciation of the currency, which may price out domestic industries/consumers dependent on imports. Therefore, Norway has a sovereign wealth fund for instance <==== (preventing 'Dutch Disease')
+/- of tourism
+ tourism (high YED) is an export, resulting in a net inflow of money into a country. *tourism was the first/second most important source of X earnings in 20 out of the world's 48 least developed countries
+ uses natural/existing assets
+ labour intensive, creating lots of employment which does not necessarily require much training
+ can create a significant multiplier effect
- local inhabitants feel more economically inferior
- can degrade local culture and environment
- too much focus can lead to a lack of diversification in the economy
+/- of fair trade
+ producers receive a fair + certain price -> community may be aided also in the process
+ communities do benefit according to studies
+ it is growing rapidly *2013, over 1.5 million farmers and workers were in fair trade certified producer organisations = a fraction of the total
- retailers simply want to appear ethical, whilst there is a limited real impact
- those not part of the schemes worse off
- raising the price of fair trade commodities may encourage producers to grow more, leading to falls in the price of non-fair trade products
> because citizens of developing countries have a very high MPC and a very low MPS, savings are below the level of investment needed to generate high economic growth, with high capital inflows helping to fill this savings gap
> FOREX may be very scarce, therefore insufficient to cover imports of machinery etc., meaning that the foreign aid can be used to cover the trade gap
> can be used for countries that find it difficult to attract private capital funding
4 forms of aid
1) Grants - sum of money for a development project for instance
2) Loans - can be at either commercial rates of interest or a soft loan
3) Tied aid - only available if the recipient country is prepared to purchase goods and services from the donor country (now illegal)
4) Bilateral and multilater aid
>< benefits from aid are often spread unequally
>< aid agencies often lack sufficient knowledge to identify areas most in need of aid
>< results in over dependence
>< tied foreign aid is likely to give the recipient countries bad deals
>< loan repayment issues usually arise
What happens with debt relief
Forces countries to adopt fiscal austerity policies and could not borrow much more because they were already so indebted and had to export more than they import in order to earn the foreign currency to make repayments on debt
Forces countries to adopt fiscal austerity policies in return for total or partial clearing of debt
+/- of debt relief
+ works if debts were relatively small
+ debt may be limiting growth
+ in the case of world debt crises, IR payments had already exceeded the value of original debt
+ people were paying for past mistakes
- debt relief eased pressure on weak governments to adopt more stern policies
- cost of tied economic reform is huge
Impact of globalisation on consumers
Prices have increased in some areas, with increased demand due to higher incomes putting upwards pressure on prices
Incomes have generally increased due to greater productivity although some areas have lost out due to outsourcing
1. Differences in factor endowments: e.g. Saudi oil
2. Price + comp. advantage: some countries can produce goods at a lower price/with a lower opportunity cost
3. Product differentiation: preference similarity theory, demanding a wide range of goods
4. Political reasons
Reasons for changes in the pattern of international trade
1. Impact of emerging economies: will increase both inflow and outflow of trade from that country
2. Growth of trading blocs and bilateral trading agreements: trade creation and trade diversion
3. Changes in relative ERs *(chain of reasoning): will affect relative prices of goods between countries
Eval of comparative advantage
1. It assumes no transport costs, which, although becoming more accurate with improved communications, is still not a realistic image of global trade
2. Assumes that traded goods are homogeneous - only the case for commodities perhaps, very few other goods
3. Assumes no tariffs or trade barriers - only the case in very well integrated economic areas e.g. monetary union
Index of terms of trade
((index of export prices)/(index of import prices)) x 100
What is it called when the value of terms of trade increases/decreases
T of T said to improve when its value increases i.e. when export prices rise relative to import prices and deteriorate vice versa.
SR factors influencing the terms of trade
1. Changes in the ER -> rise in the ER will lead to fall in the price of imports, therefore improvement in the T of T
2. Rise in inflation relative to trading partners is likely to improve the terms of trade => everything becomes more expensive domestically, increasing the costs of exports for people abroad and reducing relative costs of imports.
3. Changes in demand for X and M
LR factors influencing the terms of trade
1. Rise in relative productivity is likely to lower export prices due to resultant lower costs of production = deterioration
2. Changes in global incomes - higher global income (or just in trading partners) will increase demand for exports, leading to an improvement in the T of T.
Effects of changes in the terms of trade on the current account on the balance of payments
1. Exports are price elastic: rise in export prices with price elastic demand for exports will lead to a fall in the value of exports => deterioration in the T of T but a worsening of the current account
2. Exports are price inelastic: rise in export prices will lead to an improvement in T to T and an improvement in the current account
3. Imports are price elastic: increase in import prices will lead to a deterioration in the T of T and an improvement in the CA position
4. Imports are price inelastic: rise in import prices will lead to a deterioration in the T of T and in the current account position
Tariff and other trade barriers are reduced on some but not all goods traded between member countries
All tariffs and quotas are removed on trade in goods between member countries, with each member still able to impose its own tariffs and quotas on external imports
Free trade (all F of P) inside + market seepage is prevented through a common external tariff + common regulatory framework over trade and standards of goods and services and capital
Share a currency, share a central bank, no autonomy over fiscal policy
Operating like different regions in the same country
from the gains through specialisiation
from increased competition and the transfer of resources
Advantages of monetary union for eurozone countries
+ fixed prices -> eliminates potential risk in trade as result of fluctuating relative prices.
+ reduced ER costs -> associated costs in currency exchange are cut
+ greater price transparency -> perfect information to a larger extent
+ greater ability to access the larger common market
+ inward investment -> investment into one of the countries of the EMU is an attractive prospect because it means that one can in turn freely invest into the other countries
+ longer term agenda -> the fact that there are several nations involved means that the ECB is able to discern short term from long term needs, thereby pursuing more longer term policy
Disadvantages of monetary union for eurozone countries
- transition costs -> costs of changing currencies for instance
- loss of policy independence -> no common policy which suits all countries
- inability to change value of currency -> different countries may be suited to different ER values.
- structural problems -> the fact that certain countries are better than others can lead to problems (however, different regions in the same country have different levels of prosperity as well)
- huge risk if the monetary union were to fall apart, collateral damage
Two functions of the World Trade Organisation
1. Increase levels of trade liberalisation
2. Enforcing the trade agreements that countries have signed
>< allows rich countries to exploit developing countries' workers
>< allows the unsustainable exploitation of resources in poorer countries
>< forces countries to adopt free trade policies
>< gives ownership of world trading system to a few large countries and important TNCs.
Reasons for restrictions on trade
1) Infant industry argument - small firms need to be protected initially from larger foreign firms benefitting from E of S (however; governments often fail to pick winners, protected industries lack competitive pressure, more specific and targeted spending methods tend to be more effective)
2) Job protection (consumers lost out on price and range of choices - preference similarity theory)
3) Dumping - prevent foreign firms/countries from undercutting domestic businesses through anti-competitive practices
4) Cheap labour - countries with high labour coasts will find it difficult to compete with countries that have chapter labour
5) *Terms of trade - the imposition of a tariff will reduce demand for imported goods and this in turn will lead to a fall in the price of imported goods, improving the terms of trade. Also, one can view there to be a negative externality in the purchasing of imports to society
=> optimal tariff argument
What are the most important components of the balance of payments
Current, financial and capital account:
1. Net trade in goods and services & investment incomes & net transfers
2. Part of FDI flows, portfolio investment, other investment
N.B. balancing item
+/- of international capital flows
+ facilitates growth in world trade
+ provides capital for firms that would otherwise not be able to secure finance within their own countries
+ allows transfers of tech and info
- world economy more susceptible to economic shocks due to increased interdependence
- excessive FDI can make MNCs too powerful
- availability of international credit encourages governments/firms/individuals to borrow
Natural resources, underlying international competitiveness, exchange rates, inflation, investment and long-term economic growth, spending by consumers and government
Measures to reduce imbalances on the current account
Exchange rate changes => devaluation can lead to additional imported cost push inflation
Deflationary policies => more effective if they can marginal propensity to import is high
Protectionism - consumer switching policy
Currency controls => black markets develop in reality
Causes of changes in demand for a currency
Change in exports, change in exports, change in ER, in/outflow of investment funds, confidence
What is the idea behind the purchasing power parity theory of exchange rates
Nominal ERs reflect speculative activity as well, whereas purchasing power parity theory of ER states that ERs in the long term change in line with inflation rates between economies
A fall in the value of the pound will result in an improvement on the current account if the combined elasticities of demand for exports and imports are greater than one
Problems with devaluation
J curve, cost-push inflation, risk of competitive devaluation
1. Provide services demanded by households, firms and government i.e. borrowing and lending on credit
2. Allow participants to speculate and realise financial gains
Three types of bank
Retail - borrowing and saving for consumers mainly
Commercial - borrow from business and allow them to save
Investment - trade financial instrument and consultancy
Market failure with financial institutions
1. Asymmetric information: Payment Protection Insurance (PPI) - UK banks in the 1990s and 2000s sold tens of millions of insurance contracts to customers - failed to find out whether insurance was appropriate
2. Moral hazard e.g. RBS bailed out
3. Speculation and market bubbles
3. Speculation and market bubbles; by lending too much into the property market, excess demand for houses is created -> unsustainable increases in the house prices -> bubble bursts due to large increase in IR for instance -> more difficult for those with existing mortgages to make repayments and increases the number of households that are forced to default on debts etc.
4. Market rigging
5. Externalities; cost to the UK taxpayer of supporting UK financial institutions during the 2007-08 financial crisis was £1.162 trillion at its peak & nationalisation of banks cost £2,000 per person
Chain of reasoning as to why increase AD will simply lead to increased inflation according to classical economics
Increased demand for labour will mean the rate of unemployment goes below the natural rate of unemployment. Consequently, as there is a smaller available supply of labour, workers in general have relatively larger bargaining power in terms of demanding higher wages. Consequently, following rises in wages, employees will have to sack some workers, reducing output and thus AD, bringing it back to the level of natural unemployment
Why may banks have liquidity crises
A bank at the end of a day's trading can run out of liquid assets to pay money it owes.
The bank may have fundamental problems because its assets have fallen in value for example
Reasons for public expenditure
1. Efficiency and market failure - public goods, natural monopolies, subsidies
3. Macroeconomic management - intervention in the case where externalities exist
Reasons for changing size and composition of public expenditure
> the lower the average income, the lower is likely to be the percentage of GDP spent by the government
=) USA - 38%, Finland - 58% of GDP
> ageing populations - more spending on the elderly, less spending elsewhere
> type of fiscal policy
Factors that play a role in the potential size of the state
Efficiency, disincentive effects (high income tax), utility (loss of welfare in government vs consumer spending), taxation, crowding out, transfer payments (no output), unemployment (extra G can lead to crowding in*), economic growth

5 Important Advertising Tips | Boom Buzz
by Ananya September 18, 2019 March 4, 2020
2) Choose your advertising method wisely.
3) The difference between having an advertising plan and having an advertising strategy is critical. It's like this…if you want to get from point A to point B that's your plan. Your strategy is how you're going to do it. For example if my plan is to drive to Savannah then I have to formulate a strategy on how I'm going to get there…either by car, plane or train etc. Once I determine the how, then I must map out my route…that's my strategy.

Honoring Our Veterans | Senior Lifestyle
Sunday, November 11th is Veterans Day, an occasion often marked by parades, speeches and flag ceremonies to celebrate and offer our thanks to those who have served. At Senior Lifestyle we're proud of the men and women who have served in the Armed Forces, so our senior communities across the United States will honor residents, family members and Senior Lifestyle team members for their service as well. With celebrations ranging from pinning ceremonies and Veterans Day recognition meals at local schools to care package packing parties for deployed service members, our celebrations are as unique as the wonderful people we honor.
The history behind Veterans Day is a story worth knowing; the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs notes that while World War I officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, it's the "story before the story" that gave rise to the holiday we know as Veterans Day. Fighting ceased seven months prior to the Versailles Treaty when an armistice temporarily halted hostilities between the Allied Nations and Germany. This accord took place on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month and was originally known as Armistice Day. President Wilson proclaimed November 11, 1919 the first commemoration of Armistice Day, a holiday honoring veterans of the first World War, known as "the war to end all wars." The day would most likely still be known as Armistice Day if World War II had not occurred; however, with the large number of American casualties, it seemed only fitting to make the day a time to give thanks to veterans of all wars, as well as those who served in peacetime. The day has been known since 1954 as Veterans Day, when President Eisenhower signed legislation designating November 11th as a day to honor American veterans of all wars.
While veterans have recently been the grateful recipients of free meals, services and discounts on Veterans Day, many say that a heartfelt "Thank you for your service" would be just as welcome. The Corporation for National and Community Service also lists several ways to support and honor veterans on its website, including mentoring the children of veterans, providing educational opportunities to veterans, and assisting them in finding employment. Each veteran and family is unique, with different storiesand unique needs. Being able to share their stories and receive support is empowering for veterans, as well as those who provide support.
In Senior Lifestyle communities everywhere, we're honored to serve those who have served our country. Additionally, we feel it's vital to recognize the sacrifices made by families of service members, those who manage households, careers and family life during the deployment of a loved one. We hope you'll join us, on Veterans Day and every day, in thanking a veteran for their service and sacrifice. To learn more about Veterans Day events at a Senior Lifestyle community near you, please visit our website atwww.seniorlifestyle.com.

SB1062: Brewer made right choice for wrong reason | Insiders
E.J. Montini began writing news columns for The Arizona Republic shortly before the first governor in state history was impeached, continued doing so as another governor was indicted and resigned, and has carried on over 25 years through out-of-control urban sprawl, unchecked illegal immigration, increasing daily temperatures, decreasing rainfall and recession. Coincidence? Posted on March 11, 2014 9:55 am by EJ Montini SB1062: Brewer made right choice for wrong reason
The good news is that SB 1062 was vetoed.
The bad news is WHY it was vetoed.
It wasn't a moral decision. It was a business decision.
If it had been a moral decision, the bill never would have gotten as far as it did. It never would have been introduced. It turns out that Gov. Jan Brewer's staff knew all about SB 1062, and had known for months. Internal communication confirm that, as was reported in Tuesday's The Arizona Republic.
The primary proponent of the bill, powerhouse lobbyist Cathi Herrod of the Center for Arizona Policy told the Republic, "As always with the governor and her team, there are never any guarantees given — no promises were made ahead of time. The intention of the meetings was to thoroughly vet the language with the governor's team to hear their concerns about any of the drafting, to respond to questions and to make any changes that they suggested to the bill's language."
So the governor's team knew the language. They knew the bill.
They knew – or should have known – that SB 1062 was cruel and unnecessary, a way of legitimizing discrimination.
And they didn't try to stop it?
When Brewer vetoed the bill the governor said it was divisive. She said it was not needed.
Human rights activists had been clamoring about the legislation from the get-go.
They tried to educate the governor about it, apparently not knowing about her staff's long history with the legislation.
The bad news for us is that issues of morality, issues about how we treat people, issues of fairness, seemed to have had little effect on what happened to SB 1062.
What worked, apparently, was pressure from the business community.
From Apple, Delta Air Lines, the Super Bowl host committee and others.
It's good that arm twisting from the business community was able to overcome morally bankrupt actions by politicians, but it would be a lot better for all of us going forward if such a thing wasn't necessary.

As we explore the traditions and customs evident in the Christmas season an interesting question arises: how did Santa Claus carry on with the business of giving out toys during a crisis? In the archives of the Sherburne History Center, we found evidence to suggest that although Santa Claus maintains a high level of diligence, his creativity and thoughtful nature allows him to achieve his tasks, still in one night!
A letter found in the archives of the Sherburne History Center further explains Santa’s workload. Addressed to the Nelson sisters in Zimmerman, Minn, the letter, written during World War Two. Although it is dated: “Not many days before Christmas.”
With his busy schedule, Mrs. Santa Claus takes on the job of replying to Christmas letters. “Santa works until nearly morning these nights and so he has me do all his writing for him,” she explained. She went on to note that “he will have to use reindeers this year because of gas-rationing.”
From this letter we witness Santa’s management skills of hard work, and a willingness to delegate responsibility. Skills like these make Santa Claus a very successful businessman. In 2020, like the war years, a crisis will not prevent Santa Claus from making his rounds and wishing everyone A MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Holiday Feasts: Why Turkey?
Thanksgiving marks the beginning of several celebratory feasts. The turkey day, Christmas, and New Year’s Day call for some type of feast and celebration. With the end of the Thanksgiving feast, I paused to wonder about the food I had just devoured. Specifically, why turkey? After a brief search, I discovered a variety of meats served during the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Each of the centerpieces, whether they be turkey, goose, or pork; held a significant meaning to traditional diners.
In the United States most holiday revelers held Turkey as the primary dish of a festive meal. Whether at Christmas or Thanksgiving, the bird of choice remained the gobbler. The wild turkey must be hunted and killed. And so, early feasts celebrated the holiday and the hunting skills of family members. As you move into the twentieth century, turkeys became domestic farm animals and more easily attainable. Goose and pork, on the other hand, remained common farm animals. Served often during the year, goose and pork failed to present a unique character expected at celebrations.
The goose, a domesticated bird and easy to raise, maintains a royal standing in feast days. Folklore suggests Queen Elizabeth I while eating a roast goose, received the news of the defeat of the Spanish Armada. Viewing this as a sign, she declared goose as the meat served at all holidays and celebrations. Domesticated geese remain low maintenance farm animals. Late each Autumn, farmers release geese to forage in the fields, fattening themselves for slaughter. More common than turkeys, the slaughtered goose remains a succulent addition to the celebration.
Pork has its own unique place on the celebration menu. Prior to the twentieth century, ham required extended time to smoke and cure. Even today, it remains the meat of choice for Spring celebrations. Often slaughtered in the late Autumn, particularly in the southern United States, pork ribs found a place in the holiday feast.
Whether from tradition, royal decree, or ease of food preparation, a variety of meats found their way into the traditional holiday feast. Ham, turkey, and goose all represented some tradition during the holidays. Now, if only someone could explain lutefisk to me.

Provincial or territorial laws set out the rules for unmarried couples who were in a common-law relationship and for married couples who separate but who are not divorcing.
Under the federal Divorce Act, spousal support is most likely to be paid when there is a big difference between the spouses’ incomes after they separate. However, this is not always the case. A court may decide that the spouse with the lower income is not entitled to support. The court may reach this decision if that spouse has a lot of assets, or if the difference in income cannot be traced to anything that happened during the relationship.
The three most difficult questions with respect to spousal support are entitlement, quantum and duration.
Although both the Family Law Act and the Divorce Act set out criteria which are intended to guide the court in its award, the area is a difficult one with frequently conflicting cases. A spousal support award calls for the exercise of the judicial discretion based on the application of the law to the facts of each case. There is no set formula for the amount of spousal support, although there are a set of non binding spousal support guidelines that judges and legal professionals use.
People require the knowledge of an experienced spousal support lawyer to guide them given their special circumstances and individual concerns.
For more information about spousal support in Ontario, please contact Anna Boulman at 1-877-405-5004.
A judge may decide that one spouse must pay support because of his or her ability to pay and the other spouse’s financial need. Or the reason may be to compensate the other spouse for unpaid work that he or she did during the relationship.
If the judge decides there should be spousal support, the judge must then decide the amount of support and how long it must be paid. The judge will take into account factors such as:
Spousal Support is usually paid each month, but sometimes it can be paid in a “lump sum” (all together).
Monthly spousal support is taxable for the spouse receiving support and tax deductible for the spouse paying support.
But if support is paid all at once in a lump sum it not taxable for the recipient and the payor is not able to claim it as a tax deduction.

Pricing may lower CO2 emissions from electric generators - Thaindian News
The study led by Jay Apt from Pennsylvania suggests that placing a price on greenhouse gas emissions has gained favour as a way to encourage utility investment in alternative technology, such as capturing carbon dioxide from smokestacks before its release into the atmosphere.
The scientists believe that a price of 35 dollars per metric ton on generators CO2 emissions would decrease consumer demand for electricity.
As a result, utilities would burn less fuel, release less carbon dioxide and cause emissions to fall by as much as 10 percent.
They also said that that two of the nations largest electric generation and transmission systems are likely to see large CO2 reductions even with a modest price.
A price on carbon dioxide emissions that has been shown in earlier work to stimulate investment in new generation technology also provides significant CO2 reductions before new technology is deployed at large scale, said the report.
The report is scheduled for the May 1 issue of ACS Environmental Science & Technology, a semi-monthly journal. (ANI)

The annual mass at St Johns well was held on Friday the 23rd of June. There was a fine crowd in attendance on what was a lovely summers evening. There were five priests celebrating mass this year. Cannon Manning and Fr Joe Tarrant from Millstreet, Fr James McSweeney from Ballyvolane, Fr Joe Poole from Namibia, and Fr Manning from Carriganima. There were glorious hymns from the Millstreet Choir and the Millstreet Pipe Band Played for the ceramony as is traditional. Recently trimmed trees and a light breeze thankfully helped to minimize the problem of the midges. The well of course was looking splendid as usual. Many thanks to everyone that attended and to everyone that helped in any way on the evening. The Mass is normally on the night of the 24th of June but was rescheduled this year because it clashed with the regular Saturday night mass.

Waiting for Fireworks at Antietam National Battlefield – Home of Have, Poems by Lee Robison
Lee Patriotism, poetry, Uncategorized July 3, 2018 July 3, 2018 1 Minute
The orchestra begins "O, say
can you see," and in the dusk
those boys rise again
from the tree line and form
in rows sung into them
with "Mine eyes have seen
the glory." Ranks waver
and writhe like banners
over rise and hollow.
And boys begin to fall.
Gaps appear and close,
a fatal mending learned by drum
and heart beat. Still
a music hums them
onward through corn and smoke,
those blue ribbons shredding
in perfect 4/4 time.
"Waiting for Fireworks at Antietam National Battlefield" is posted in response to the Ragtag Community Daily Prompt word serried. This poem was written over a decade ago in the awe following a Fourth of July visit to one of the deadliest battlefields in the history of the USA. It appears in the book by Lee Robison entitled Have, which is scheduled for publication by Wordtech Communications in November 2019.
Note to those less familiar with USA history: here is the Wikipedia entry regarding the Battle of Antietam.

That's so interesting. Thanks for this insight into American history.
Those blue ribbons shredding. . . .civil war is a horrible thing, and no matter who "wins," it never ends well. I'm deeply concerned that we're headed there again in America, simply because we don't seem to be able to be civil to one another.
The idea of civility has its place, I guess. Though I think the term is over used and the idea is over rated. Not even Jesus was always civil. His cleansing of the temple was a highly uncivil act, both against the religious authority and against civil authority. Ultimately civil authority in Judea rested with Herod, the self styled and Roman appointed 'King of the Jews'. Herod was the Roman hope for keeping order in Palestine. Thus Jesus's amok was an affront to Rome as well as the Temple guardians.
Yes, I agree. Jesus said what needed to be said, knowing He was going to the cross for sin He had not committed.
I'm thinking more of just common courtesy, which is sadly UNcommon these days. We can't disagree without foul language, insults, name-calling, accusations of all sorts. In Portland, Oregon recently there was an actual physical fight between a gathering (legal, permits, etc) and a leftist group who came to harass them under the guise of their own freedom of speech and assembly. The police came, but seemed unable to stop the confrontation. It ended with the conservative group defending themselves and chasing the others away. It made me sick to my stomach that we have reached such a level of political hatred in the "land of the free, the home of the brave."

Meet: Kerry Brown
Who I Am I am a technician working with the team from Lockheed. When I started, I was hired in as a temporary technician cutting food bars for the animals. We have to cut them in sections so they break off for the animals to eat. I started off doing that for a couple of months. Then I got laid off and when there was another job to do they called me back. That's when I started out being a Tech, putting together the kits of equipment that go on the shuttle flights. I do a little bit of everything. Whatever they ask me to do, normally I do it. I just rotate around. I've been working at NASA for about two years. When I started out, I was going to be here for two months and it turned into two years. I'm a permanent tech now. I think I kind of surprised them; they asked me to sweep the HighBay and I did! Everybody else they asked wouldn't do it. To me, a job's a job. When I come on base, I'm here to do whatever needs to be done. No job's too dirty for me. I think that's another reason I've got the job here. I'm not afraid to do anything (that's why I'm doing the cage clean ups - everybody else thinks it's too nasty - but if you've been in here you really don't smell too much.) I'll do what it takes to do my job and get my bills paid! My Career Journey My job at NASA just happened because it was there at the right time. I went to high school, but didn't go to college. I finished high school back in Evansville, Indiana. I came to California because I wanted a change. Back where I was from there wasn't a lot of jobs and I wasn't going anywhere. I wasn't working and was starting to go down the wrong path. I had a buddy out here who said, "Come on out and change it up - a new environment and everything." So I did, and I'm glad I did it.Then my wife came out here. I love it! I've been here going on nine years. I started out at Target when I first moved to California working from 4:00 - 12:00. Then I'd go home and I had to be at work at Liquor Barn at 2:00. So I was working all the time to survive. We weren't used to the cost of living out here! It was a big change! When we started out we had nothing, and it just grew from there; saving, working and getting used to being careful how we spent our money. It came out real well. It just takes a lot of hard work, and you've got to grow up a little faster. Before, I was living the fast life, not working, but it wasn't that expensive to live back there. Out here I've had to grow up fast! All the partying gets cut out really quick. You have to get serious, especially when you have a kid.
Once we got our own place, I applied to work at Price Club getting a little bit more money. I worked there for 7 1/2 years until I got laid off because of the merger with CostCo. My sister-in-law worked for a contracting agency. NASA needed people, so they called me and I came in. I've been here ever since. I didn't think it would go this long, but it did. Now I'm a permanent technician and that's good too! Likes/Dislikes about career The best part of my job is hard to single out. It's all good. It's not really stressful. I like my manager. I like my supervisor. I get along well with the people I work with. It's all good, because I'm working! I do have a job! I come to work every day. I come in early by choice, because I live in Fremont. With early-start/early-leave, I don't have to fight the heavy traffic. During the flight [STS-90] it was a little rough because I was getting off work at 7:00, after coming in at 5:00. That's a long day! But all in all, this place has been real good to me It's always good to work with people who are nice, who are willing to teach you a little bit. When I come in they greet me. When I wake up in the morning, it's like, "I'm going to work! It's okay!" The thing I like least about my job is that the temps are being let go and it becomes a little like a competition. I was the last one to get hired so I'd be the first to go. I don't let it get me down though. Sometimes I have to do more work than others. It's okay, as long as you're in there with me doing it. I hate being asked to help do something and then the person leaves me doing it alone. Other than that, I don't have anything bad to say about this job. Advice Go for your goal. Work hard at it. Just keep going. You'll get there eventually.
It's very important to be happy and get along with the people you work with. Talk to people the way you want to be talked to. Try to get along and speak to everybody. It seems to have worked out for me! Personal Information
When I have spare time I either go to the gym or work in my yard. That's about it since I have to go to bed at about 8:00 p.m. to get to work by 5:00 p.m. So I go home and play with my little girl who's six. She's going to swimming school this summer. She's a little tomboy. My wife wants to put her in ballet, but I'm not sure she's going to like that. My wife works in health care. She's a supervisor for a firm that provides oxygen, wheelchairs and that kind of stuff for the elderly. She's been there about four years. She takes our little girl to day care at 6:00 a.m. so she can get to work at 7:00 a.m. I want to have another kid, but daycare is so expensive out here. I don't have any family out here to help out and I don't want to get in over my head. I want my children to have stuff that I didn't have when I grew up.

CO Ski & Snowboarding Accident Attorneys | Mac Hester Law
Q: "If I am injured while skiing or snowboarding at a ski resort, can I recover for my injuries and damages?"
A: Yes, depending upon the situation. You cannot recover if you are injured as a result of an "inherent risk" of skiing. An example of an inherent risk of skiing is that skis will slide on snow and you could lose your balance and fall down and get hurt. On the other hand, a skier slamming into your back is not, by the express terms of the Colorado Ski Safety Act, an inherent risk of skiing – otherwise, skier collisions could arguably be considered an inherent risk of skiing.
A: There is a presumption under Colorado law that the uphill skier is at fault in a collision because an uphill skier should usually be able to avoid colliding with a downhill skier. However, the presumption can be overcome by showing that the downhill skier, rather than the uphill skier, was at fault. (2) Ski lift operation: If a person is injured by a defective ski lift, then the injured person can recover, but that is not very common. The more common situation would involve the negligent operation of the lift by, for example, not stopping the lift and skier is dragged a long way. (3) Equipment: Injury as a result of the improper setting of bindings and improper functioning of the bindings. (4) Instruction: Example – It would be improper for a ski instructor to take brand new skiers down a black diamond run. (5) General negligence: Injury from risks that are not inherent or integral to skiing. Example: The wood planks on a deck are rotten and break and a person is injured.
Each skier solely has the responsibility for knowing the range of his own ability to negotiate any ski slope or trail and to ski within the limits of such ability. Each skier expressly accepts and assumes of and all legal responsibility for any injury to a person or property resulting from any of the inherent dangers and risks of skiing; except that a skier is not precluded under this article from suing another skier for any injury to person or property resulting from such other skier's acts or omissions. Notwithstanding any provision of law or statute to the contrary, the risk of a skier/skier collision is neither an inherent risk nor a risk assumed by a skier in an action by one skier against another.
No skier shall ski on a ski slope or trail that has been posted as "Closed" pursuant to section 33-44-107 (2) € and (4).
No person shall move uphill on any passenger tramway or use any ski slope or trail while such person's ability to do so is impaired by the consumption of alcohol or by the use of any controlled substance, as defined in section 12-22-303 (7), C.R.S., or other drug or while such person is under the influence of alcohol or any controlled substance, as defined in section 12-22-303 (7), C.R.S., or another drug.
Any person who violates any of the provisions of subsection (3), (9), (10) or (11) of this section is guilty of class 2 petty offense and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars.

This is how it works. When we die, we spend 49 days in the Bardo. That's exactly 7 weeks! This is also why the Buddhists and Taoists pray for 49 days for people who have passed away.
Well, when you are too attached to life on earth, you will get trapped in the Bardo. When everyone cries and mourns your death, you may find that you are not able to let go. So it is important to say good bye and not cling to your past life when you die.
If not, you will be a slave to the King of Bardo. But what is worse since you are so attached to life on earth, is that the King of Bardo will tell you to pull in another relative. That's one reason why you notice that sometimes when a person dies, 2 or 3 weeks later, his close relative or family member also dies. This is also why a lot of prayers are needed for the dead so that they do not stay trapped in the Bardo.
How did Lillian know about all these? You are probably thinking she invented it all right? Well, according to Lillian, she got all these knowledge through lots of research and by learning from the Tibetan lamas and also from reading the sutras, which are the direct teachings of the Buddha.
Personally, I think it's way more complex than what Lillian explained to us during the seminar. But then, I think she did a great job in simplifying and making it easy to digest for the layman.
Lillian's advice is to live in such a way that when you die, you know HOW to die. But in the meantime, those of us still alive have a life to live. We all want a happy, smoother life and one way to achieve that is to have good feng shui. Besides good feng shui, we also need to have good Spiritual feng shui, in other words, we need to appease the spirits around us.
Now every space has its own local spirits. They are neither good nor evil. KL has its own local spirits, Mid Valley (Lillian mentioned this since we were having the Spiritual Feng Shui seminar at The Gardens next to Mid Valley mall) has its own local spirits, and your house has its own local spirits too. Lillian said her house is a paradise to her because she always keep her local spirits happy.

T-Mobile Launches New Solutions
There are two new business-to-business solutions coming from T-Mobile USA: the T-Mobile Office Connect unified communications solution, and the T-Mobile Mobile Device Payment Solution (MDPS). These are designed to address the challenge in reducing wireless costs, wile providing alternatives to industry solutions for unmet customers.
With the T-Mobile Office Connect solution, one can streamline accessibility and improve their responsiveness by extending desk phone capabilities to their mobile phones. It's integrated into T-Mobile's nationwide network, so employees can access everything through a single phone number and voicemail box, letting them answer more calls and transition between mobile and desk phone numbers with ease.
Furthermore, Office Connect can save money by routing international calls in the most affordable option available. Long distance calls, meanwhile, are billed at a business rate, so it costs less to call those farther away.
Then there's the Mobile Device Payment Solution, which lets businesses pay for devices over time, with no interest and at a competitive rate. Qualified Corporate Liable customers can also reserve capital and use CFS to finance their upfront costs. With this, it's easier than ever to pay for the mobile devices you need, without needing to invest a huge amount upfront.
"Today, mobile devices are critical extensions of an organization's business infrastructure," says Frank Sickinger, T-Mobile's Senior Vice President of B2B. "Therefore, making and protecting strategic mobile investments are more pivotal than ever before. Our new unified communications and equipment financing solutions demonstrate T-Mobile's commitment, as the 'Un-Carrier,' to challenge the status quo for our B2B customers."
T-Mobile customers will be pleased with these new solutions, which improve accessibility and responsiveness while reducing costs. Both are available now, and are worth looking into for anyone in the market.

Gibson Guitar Company 'Running Out of Time'
Gibson Brands, Inc. – makers of the iconic Gibson guitars played by Slash among many others – is "running out of time" to resolve serious debt issues that could shut it down, a finance expert said.
The company, which has annual revenues of more than $1 billion, has to deal with upcoming repayments totaling $375 million, with a further $145 million due if the first amount is not serviced by July 23.
Commentators noted the chances of refinancing in time looked "slim," the Nashville Post reported. CFO Bill Lawrence recently left the company after less than a year in the position, and the options facing owner and CEO Henry Juszkiewicz looked "likely to sideline" him. A deal with equity firm GSO Capital Partners, which brought in an emergency $130 million loan last year, had left some holders of the $375 million bonds worried about the security of their investment and made worse by a "lack of clarity" from Gibson.
Juszkiewicz had three realistic options, one expert said: He could renegotiate the bonds for new ones, which might turn out to be too expensive; he could hand over some of his own equity to cover the amounts; or he could commence bankruptcy proceedings. "This year is crucial and they are running out of time – rapidly," said Kevin Cassidy of Moody's Investors Service. "And if this ends in bankruptcy, [Juszkiewicz] will give up the entire company."
Gibson's problems are thought to have arisen mainly through their electronics operations, which have seen a sales slump in recent years. The firm made a $16.6 million payment to bondholders last week after selling a warehouse for $6.4 million, while another building should raise $11 million when it is sold. A regular financial report is due by next week. "Some type of restructuring will be necessary," Cassidy said. "The core business is a very stable business and a sustainable one. But you have a balance sheet problem and an operational problem."
The Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg. Co. was founded in 1902 by Orville Gibson. It introduced the famous Les Paul guitar 50 years later.

Time flies when you're having fun! I'm really happy to be back in Silicon Valley after returning from Calgary (and Edmonton). Nothing like being back, getting up in the morning to a crisp 50º and going for a walk. The last week was relatively quiet as the year is winding down. This past week I published two articles:
Cable TV Providers are in Trouble (my experience with Apple's new TV application for Apple TV, and a realization that if the Cable providers continue to put up barriers to accessing content, they'll soon find themselves bypassed)
Serial - Driverless Serial Terminal Emulator for macOS (a long-overdue review of the excellent Serial written by Chris Kent, if you use USB serial adapters and connect to consoles, check it out)
I also updated my post on OSX Hints and Tips showing how to Repair Permissions under macOS (it's been gone from Disk Utility since Yosemite) and Rebuilding the Launch Services Database, if you have Preferences that are not "sticking" (in my case it was an inability to set a different Mail client as the default under Mail.app Preferences).
Professionally I'm spending time getting back to Inbox Zero and writing some blog posts for ServiceNow that I'll be sure to share here.

Gurbaksh Chahal's Words of Wisdom for Young 'Treps
He's not even 30, but Gurbaksh Chahal is already a multimillionaire entrepreneur. At present, he serves as chairman and CEO of RadiumOne, a real-time advertising company which he also founded. RadiumOne is already Chahal's third business venture, though. His first one was ClickAgents, which he started at age 16 after dropping out of high school and sold for $40 million in 2000.
Less than four years later, Chahal established his second company, BlueLithium. Within three years, the online advertising network was bought by Yahoo Inc. for $300 million.
As a young kid growing up in East San Jose, California, Chahal was bullied by his peers for being different. He didn't let this deter him, however, and drew strength and inspiration from his tight-knit family.
Chahal's advice for young entrepreneurs is to not get discouraged by stereotypes. "If you forget your own age, you'll get so focused on the business that you become ultra-confident and people will forget to question how old you are."

If you are dealing with an overseas legal matter or with any formal documentation that will be used abroad, you are likely to have been asked to have documents “notarised” i.e signed in the presence of a notary.
If you have a document that requires notarisation, contact Worldwide Lawyers on 01244 470 339 or at [email protected]. Our friendly representatives will be happy to assist you and put you in touch with a notary who can help you.
In England and Wales, a notary (also known as a notary public or a public notary) is a particular type of legal professional who prepares, witnesses or certifies documents specifically for use abroad.
Many notaries are also solicitors but not many solicitors are also qualified as notaries. There are often only a handful of notaries within each town/ city.
Often a document, such as a power of attorney, sworn statement, affidavit or certificate of law will be required for use in a foreign country.
Usually a foreign lawyer (or an organisation such as a bank or pension provider) will have prepared the document and the person who is required to sign this document will be asked to sign it in front of a notary.
This adds a layer of security for the person receiving the document and for any other person or organisation that will rely upon it in the foreign country.
If the document must be sworn in front of a notary, the person signing will also be required to swear an oath to the notary confirming the truthfulness of the contents of the document. A notary is a Commissioner For Oaths which means they have the power to administer oaths and affirmations. Anyone who wilfully makes untruthful statements under oath commits the criminal offence of perjury and can be prosecuted.
The notary’s purpose therefore is to help guard against fraud, as the notary confirms that the person is who they say they are and ensures that the person signing the document does so by their own free will and understands the effect of the document.
Notaries are commonly asked to assist businesses and individuals who have interests abroad. Notaries commonly deal with:
Providing documents to deal with the administration of estates where the deceased lived abroad, or owned assets abroad
Authenticating educational or professional qualifications for people wishing to work or study abroad.
If a document is going to be used abroad you will usually require the signature and seal of a notary so that anyone who will use/receive the document in the foreign country will recognise the document as validly signed by the appropriate person/people and in the required way.
Every notary has a unique official seal which is engraved with a personal symbol. Documents which have this seal and are signed by a notary are internationally recognised are treated as good evidence of the truthfulness of the information contained within the document. The notary’s signature and seal authenticates the document.
Once the document has the signature and seal of a notary, it can be recognised in the relevant foreign country. Without this authentication documents that require notarisation will not be accepted abroad.
Many countries however also require a further level of security so, as well as being notarised, the document must also be ‘legalised’.
Just as a notary authenticates the signature of their client, legalisation is the process by which the signature and seal of the Notary are then authenticated by the UK Foreign Commonwealth Office (FCO) and/or the Embassy or Consulate of the country in which the document is to be used.
The FCO authenticates documents by way of an “Apostille” which is certificate affixed to the document.
The legalisation requirements are determined by the country or state where the document is going to be used and so it is their rules that must be complied with. The legalisation requirements will therefore be different depending on which country your document is for.
Legalisation is usually required by countries who are signatories to the Hague Convention and the Apostille is sufficient for these countries. Some other countries also require the document to be further authentication by their own Embassy/ Consulate.
There are many places where legalisation is not required, for example current or former British Commonwealth countries and many parts of the United States.
Your Notary will usually be able to advise you as to whether your particular document requires legalisation by the FCO or if any further legalisation is required by the relevant embassy or consulate.
If you have a document that requires notarisation please do not hesitate to contact Worldwide Lawyers on 01244 470 339 or at [email protected]. We will be happy to put you in touch with a notary who can assist you.

Thread: How active is this community?
07-13-2019, 05:42 PM #1
Hello! I am very new here. I just made an account yesterday.
How active is this community? I see a few new posts made today so would you say logging in once a day would suffice? I would very much like to be able to have informative interactions and make a few friends. My mail goal is to give and receive feedback on bird-related issues, such as training, health, and nutrition. Maybe some cool recipes to serve up to my budgies, too.
07-14-2019, 11:06 AM #2
Re: How active is this community?
It doesn't seem as active as other forums. When I introduced myself I think it took two weeks before someone answered. I frequent here because I'm new as well and eager for some kind of interaction since I live alone with almost zero social circles.

This web page was very active when I first signed up in 2008ish. Since many people use Facebook, activity has went down. I am not a Facebook user but I do try to visit at least once a week. Also, it is summer here and many people do go on vacation, and there graduation parties, weddings, It always seems like I am doing yard work, etc.. Plus many of us work full time including myself.
Welcome to the community!!! I am sure maxollie (Ellen) and Boomergirl (Deanna) will pop in too.
07-16-2019, 09:01 AM #5
Yep, it is not active at all and its sad because when I joined it was very active. I hang around here because it is a great forum and has lots of people I have known for many years here. I also told myself to stay here because I sure know when Boomer was sick I came here to seek out help and was so happy to find people who cared and loved birds as much as I do. Without this forum and the people who helped me no doubt Boomer would have never lived for years after he first got sick. Its almost like a promise to myself to help people here just like everyone else helped me and Boomer when we needed it the most because he was such a sick little boy. I do miss how active it once was but I too am a facebook user and know how it too pulled me away from here. I also work full time so its hard to come here as often as before. We all need to share our love for our birds here and I love to check in and see whats new when I can.

Hi and welcome... hang in there.. Grant you, this page is not as active as it used to be, but there are a few of us still out there.
Hi everybody! I am very reassured now that this isnt a dead forum. Its nice to meet you all. I hadnt thought of people being busy because of the season so I appreciate that input. I hope I can make some good contributions to this community and get to have a few friends that are as bird-obsessed as I am.
07-16-2019, 07:10 PM #10
Hi Amber and Averlus nice to meet you both! And hello to everyone else who has posted on this thread. I'm not a facebook user so this forum is all I have when it comes to talking about birds. I'm also a member of parrotforums too but I've literally only posted 2 or three times there. And I think I only joined because I had issues joining tailfeathers at first, so I joined there as I was desperate for advice on one my my lovebirds. But I have found I have gotten amazing advice here on tailfeathers and even though I sometimes might not log in for long periods of time, I feel like I have made good friends here. Like averlus, I don't have much of a social circle either, not like I used to anyway. I'm a full time university student, but I study via distance so I'm always at home. Sometimes things get hectic here with the birds (if you read my many posts, you will see I have many birds now lol) or I just get overwhelmed with studies that I have to prioritise some of that work for some time before anything else. I really hope this forum does not disappear. I would be really sad to not be able to talk to some of the members on here who I feel close to even though it is just online without seeing anyone's faces except birdies .
I do find that this forum can be quite active. I think the longest I might not have seen it too active is for a week perhaps, maybe even less. Sometimes new users will appear and be active on the forums for a long time but then all of a sudden disappear as well.
Anyway just thought I would mention that I am around too I noticed you posted on my budgie thread so I'm going to take a look at that too and have a browse on the forums.
I think it's sad that activity has gone down here. I came back recently because this community has been offering me great info for years. I'd love a more active place. Is there a good Facebook group for 'tiel owners? I need some social interaction too, and a bird community sounds safe. (I'm SO tired of politics and drama!)

I know it is *probably* to early to be asking...but I am posting this in hopes that we have an inside source somewhere in this forum. Does anybody know if Shipwreck Falls will have a bridge to stand on, like Snake River Falls at Cedar Point? Every park I've seen with this type of ride has a bridge you can stand on to get splashed as the ride hits the water.
Most of the "chutes the chute" rides have bridges, its like a way to fell how good the water fells so they will go in line even if the line is pretty long like SRF.
I think that the ride will not have one becuase if you look at the fairly detailed concept art at: http://www.sixflagsmedia.com/images/downloads/rndg-HHarbor-W.jpg it does not show the bridge. On a side bar the rides name is just Shipwreck Falls without the ed.
I saw that a while ago, and was thinking the same thing. That illustration isn't very detailed, so I think it would probably still have it. The ride will be 10 times better with a bridge. This way, people who are afraid to ride can watch their friends or family come down the falls, and get wet at the same time.
The plunge rides at BGW and Kennywood have no actual bridge but they each have platforms where those wanting to catch some of the splash can do so.
Well, i was looking at that detailed drawing with my old boss the other day and we were talking about two things about the SWF. (1)the entrance to the ride is not represented on the pic, but it will be in the park and not the water park because (2) it is meant to "anchor" that end of the midway to attract people out there when it's to cold for the water park. How crazy is that?
We were also talking about how there was only one entrance to the water park and it is going to be right next to the SWF. Right behind the burger stand that is being left there from seasons past. The line for the burgers is going to obstruct the entrance to the WP. Is this great or what?
Shake with ice and strain into a Collins glass filled with ice. Garnish with an umbrella, cherry, and pineapple wedge (omitted) and add a straw.
Two Fridays ago, we began the evening with the a drink from Food & Wine: Cocktails 2012. It was the Lani Kai Sling from Julie Reiner's variations of the Singapore Sling. Since I enjoyed the drinks I had at Lani Kai before it closed, including the Pacific Swizzle and La Rosa, I was game to give this one a try. I lamented that my garnish game would not be anywhere as good as if I had ordered this Sling at Lani Kai, and I left this one unadorned in defeat.
The Sling began with a pineapple aroma that shared a vague cherry-fruitiness. A lime, pineapple, and cherry sip led into a swallow offering the complex funky rums, light herbal spice notes, and a lingering pineapple finish. Instead of a rhum agricole, I opted for a Cape Verdean sugar cane rum that is produced in a similar way, and I found that it paired exceptionally well with the pineapple in the drink.
For Valentine's Day two weeks ago, I decided to make a drink I spotted in Josh Childs' column in Boston.com. He pitted Heather Mojer of Hungry Mother against her boyfriend Evan Harrison now of Highland Kitchen to see who could come up with a better drink for the holiday. Since we lacked the strawberry-infused Tequila Por Mi Amante to make Heather's, I decided to give Evan's Basilica Cocktail a go. Evan based his drink off of the Old Hickory, a cocktail he prefers on date nights since the low alcohol of an aperitif-style libation keeps him in his game, but the drink still looks like a stiff drink. The other connection to Valentine's Day was the reddish hue of the drink.
The twist's orange oils worked well with the Campari's aroma. The Basilica offered a surprisingly thick mouthfeel to the grape sip, and this was followed by a citrusy gentian and Campari swallow. Overall, the drink was pleasantly light but still plenty complex.
Shake with ice and strain into a rocks glass filled with crushed ice. Garnish with mint and 2-3 dash of house aromatic bitters (sub Angostura), and add a straw.
Two Wednesdays ago, we traveled over to Allston to Deep Ellum for dinner. For a drink, I asked bartender Jen Salucci about the White Lion since the ingredient list was not the same as the one in Jerry Thomas from 1862:
Jen explained that it started out with bar own Max Toste trying to craft a Tiki-like drink for the winter to utilize the housemade falernum they had just created. As Max tinkered, he realized that his recipe was close to one that already existed -- the White Lion from Stan Jones' 1977 Complete Barguide:
Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Variation: serve in a Highball glass with crushed ice and soda water. Orange curaçao may be added.
Max decided to use the name to continue the lineage of variations, even if this one was unintentionally created as such. Since I had this drink at Deep Ellum, I revisited the Jerry Thomas recipe and will write about it in the next week or two.
The aromatic bitters' allspice and clove notes joined that of the mint on the nose. A lime and pomegranate sip led into a clovey rum swallow. Definitely different in flavor than the original raspberry syrup version and closer to the Stan Jones one; however, the presentation was more akin to the Thomas instructions.
Shake once without ice and once with ice. Strain into a coupe glass. Garnish with a submerged Swedish Fish (omitted here).
After the Agave Snake at Backbar, I asked bartender Sam Treadway about some previous Drink of the Day offerings. One that sounded alluring was served on the 7th in anticipation of the blizzard which started on the 8th. Since the storm was named Nemo, they played with the Hiding Nemo movie title and dubbed this drink Hiding Nemo; I also surmise that they schemed the drink's color to match the fish from the movie.
The Hiding Nemo was fruity from the Aperol and other ingredients, a little nutty from the Maraschino, and funky caramel from the aged rum on the nose. The creamy sip offered a vague fruitiness from the pomegranate and Aperol, and finally, the swallow presented the rum, a dry nutty Maraschino note, and a bitter finish.
A few Sundays ago, we paid a visit to Backbar. For a drink, bar manager Sam Treadway suggested that I try the upcoming Drink of the Week in honor of the Chinese New Year. The drink was unnamed then, but Sam knew that he wanted pay tribute to the Year of the Water Snake, and later he dubbed it the Agave Snake after the mezcal in the recipe. The drink was served then with a cucumber-infused agave syrup, but Sam was able to quickly replicate the flavor with a muddling step.
The Agave Snake's nose was rather savory with hints of agave and later cucumber. The lime and grape sip was followed by the swallow that began with the mezcal, followed by the cucumber and nutty sherry, and ended with a little heat from the Sriracha Bitters.
Dry shake to de-gas the beer. Shake with ice and strain into a cocktail glass containing another 1 oz of IPA. Garnish with a grapefruit twist.
A few Saturdays ago, I decided to make a recipe from 320 Main that I had spotted on the web (most likely from something Rumdood posted on Facebook or Twitter) called the Detroiter. The recipe is Jason Schiffer's follow up to the Michigander that I enjoyed a little over a year ago. To that set of ingredients, he added pine notes and carbonation via an IPA beer. I later found the recipe again on 320 Main's blog which provided additional information about the recipe's genesis; Jason tinkered with the Michigander recipe to further his thoughts about his home state, autumn leaves, and warm fireplaces.
The grapefruit twist joined the sweet floral notes of the honey. A carbonated apple, lemon, and honey sip gave way to the Cynar-grapefruity hops combination on the swallow and a honey finish. Indeed, even though I used a different IPA, the grapefruit twist and the beer's hops made for fine bookends on the drink.
After the Mansfield Cocktail, I turned to the North Star Cocktails book for the next libation. There, I spotted the Mock Wit created by Birk Stefan Grudem of Hola Arepa in Minneapolis. The recipe's pairing of Cynar and grapefruit juice is one that worked rather well in Evan Harrison's Peralta and Highland Kitchen's Bitter End.
The grapefruit oil joined the barrel-aged rum on the nose, and the grapefruit continued on into the sip where it mingled with the Cynar's caramel. The swallow began with the rum, transitioned to the Cynar herbal flavors, and finished with grapefruit notes.
A few Fridays ago for the cocktail hour, I opened up World's Best Cocktails and found the Mansfield in the whiskey section. The recipe is attributed to Rob Libecans who works at the Black Pearl in Melbourne, Australia. The drink's combination of Fernet Branca and orgeat intrigued me, and I had only tasted the pairing in the Tar Pit. The Scotch and orgeat is actually a solid pairing which I have had in the Act of Union and other drinks.
The lemon twist's aroma joined that of the Scotch's smoke. Next, the malt and caramel sip had a sweet almond note to it. And on the swallow, the Scotch was joined by the Fernet Branca that was pleasantly modulated by the orgeat's almond, and the finish offered a lingering menthol note.
After my second drink at Stoddard's, I departed to meet up with Andrea at Local 149 for dinner. The cocktail on the menu that caught my eye was the Second Wife, but asking bartender John Mayer for one seemed a bit more dangerous than requesting a Prison Nickname. With Irish Whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Suze, it reminded me of the rye-based Harry Palmer that I had a few months ago at home.
The Irish whiskey aroma joined that of the Suze's gentian on the nose. A malt and grape sip led into a swallow that began with the whiskey and ended with the Suze that was smoothed out by the vermouth. Overall, it had a bit more sweetness than I have come to expect from Suze drinks.
Shake with ice and strain into a rocks glass containing a large ice cube. Garnish with a lemon twist.
For my second cocktail at Stoddard's, I asked bar manager Jamie Walsh for the Jack Frost. Jamie mentioned that it had been created by bartender Eric Cross for the recent menu revision. The Jack Frost presented a lemon oil aroma that prepared the mouth for the lemon and apple sip. The Scotch filled the swallow at first, but later apple and cinnamon spice notes crept in.
Two Thursdays ago, I ventured down to Stoddard's to check out the new items on the menu. The first one that called out to me was the Persecuted Gentleman, and bar manager Jamie Walsh mentioned that it was created by bartender Ramona Shah. The drink offered up a rye and Fernet Branca aroma. The rye's malt and the amari's caramel filled the sip, and the swallow began with the rye and ended with the Cynar morphing into Fernet Branca on the finish. The Persecuted Gentleman was not as herbal as I expected it to be, and perhaps the agave nectar worked to smooth over the flavor profile without making this drink all that sweet.
A few Wednesdays ago, we paid a visit to Trina's Starlite Lounge for dinner. For a drink, I asked bartender Patrick Gaggiano for the Irish Rover, a new beer cocktail on their list. The name is most like a reference to an Irish folk song about a great sailing ship that meets its doom, and the song has been covered by the likes of the Dropkick Murphys and the Pogues. In cocktail form, the beer's roasted malt notes filled the aroma and continued on into the sip along with the carbonation. Next, the swallow began with the Irish whiskey, coffee, and walnut flavors and ended with a smoke finish. In a way, it was the tall version of the Breakfast I had two nights before.
A few Tuesdays ago, I returned to Hugo Ensslin's Recipes for Mixed Drinks and selected the Dick, Jr. Cocktail. The recipe reminded me of the Café Royal Cocktail Book's Snake in the Grass with the orange liqueur and lemon exchanged here for apricot brandy and lime. The Dick, Jr. proffered an apricot and juniper aroma which led into a fruity sip from the apricot and lime; in addition, the sip contained a clean dry wine note from the vermouth. Next, the swallow began with gin and ended with an apricot finish that came across as a dried apricot or perhaps prune flavor.
The drink that Andrea selected from John Henderson's half of the menu at the Blue Room's first Whiskey & Amari night was called Breakfast. With coffee and smoke notes, probably all it needed was a bacon-infused whiskey or an egg shaken with the ingredients to seal the deal. Instead of a complete meal, it was an elegant dessert-y drink that was quite popular that night. John mentioned that the drink works rather well with Michael Collins Single Malt Irish Whiskey for it has a lightly peated barley aspect to it, but the Blue Room lacked a bottle in its inventory.
The drink's Laphroaig rinse contributed a smoke note to the dark and malty bouquet. While the sip was filled with the Ristretto's roast flavors, the swallow showcased the Irish whiskey and the rest of the coffee notes. Interestingly, the first swallow was rather chocolatey from the bitters, and the later swallows were more coffee-driven in nature. Overall, Breakfast was a coffee Manhattan similar to the Averna-laden Black Manhattan.
The drink I ordered from John Henderson's half of the menu at the first Whiskey & Amari Night at the Blue Room was the Streets of San Miguel. While the name made me think of Misty Kalkofen's Streets of Gettysburg, it was a reference to the location where that night's movie, "A Fistful of Dollars," was set. In terms of what was in the glass, the drink reminded me of a 1794 with different proportions, no bitters, and Bonal instead of sweet vermouth.
The Streets of San Miguel's orange twist joined the aroma of the Bonal. A grape sip led into a rye swallow with bitter herbal notes from the Bonal and Campari. Overall, the Bonal seemed to take the edge off of the Campari for it was not as sharply Campari-driven as I expected it to be.
The first of the Blue Room's Whiskey & Amari nights featured the bartending duo of Tyler Wang of No. 9 Park and John Henderson of Scholars and soon of Fort Point's Tavern Road. Andrea and I chose a pair of drinks from Tyler's half of the menu for our first round and a pair of drinks from John for the second. While Andrea selected one of Tyler's drinks, the Triumph of Pompei, that I had tried at No. 9 Park a few months ago, I opted for one of his new ones called The Quick & The Bitter. At first I figured that the drink was a riff on the movie that was playing that night, but "The Quick & The Dead" is a more modern movie and was not the one on the television screen. Instead, that movie was "A Fistful of Dollars."
The S. Maria al Monte's menthol joined the syrup's cinnamon notes on the nose. A lemon, grape, and caramel sip was followed by a swallow that began with rye. Next, the swallow offered an herbal flavor that was smoothed out by the sweet lemon and ended with a minty finish.
After the Lankershim Fizz, I still had lemon juice left over, so I began to peruse the Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book for a good use of it. The one I spotted was an Irish whiskey and touch of brandy version of the gin-based Clover Club called the Gloom Lifter. Since the Clover Club is one of my favorite egg white drinks, I decided to give this variation a try.
The whiskey contributed to the Gloom Lifter's aroma along with a vague fruit note from the lemon and raspberry. The malt and lemon on the sip was joined by a tart berry note, and the whiskey led off the swallow that ended with a raspberry finish. The whiskey seemed to take the drink in a different direction than the Clover Club such that it was less raspberry and citrus driven.
Shake once without ice and once with ice. Strain into a Fizz glass containing 2 oz soda water, garnish with a lemon peel, and add a straw.
Two Saturdays ago, we started the evening with a Silver Fizz that I had spotted in Imbibe Magazine called the Lankershim Fizz. The drink was concocted by Marcos Tello and Aidan Demarest at the Bow & Truss in Los Angeles. Lankershim was the earlier name for North Hollywood from the late 19th century until 1927. The Fizz offered up a lemon aroma with hints of gin on the nose. Next, a creamy, carbonated sip contained lemon and grape flavors, and the swallow was all about the raisiny sherry and the gin's botanicals.
The theme for this month's Mixology Monday (MxMo LXX) was picked by Stewart Putney of the Putney Farm blog. The theme he chose was "Inverted" based off of his enjoyment of Julia Child's upside-down or inverted Martini that goes very heavy on the vermouth. Stewart began to ponder the term, and he wrote, "What does 'inverted' really mean? Well, here is the definition, 'To turn inside out or upside down; to reverse the position, order, or condition of.' Hmm... it appears that the definition is pretty broad. It seems that 'inverted' really just means something 'flipped on its head.' And that can mean almost anything, and leaves plenty of room for creativity... You can invert the ratios of spirits, liqueurs or bitters in a cocktail, but we suggest you go beyond that and 'invert' whatever you want. Spirits, name, ingredients, proof, color, geography, garnish and glassware are all fair game... The only thing we expect is the unexpected. Have fun."
Having just come down from a burst of creativity from the menu items I crafted for the Women of the Wild West night that I bartended at the Blue Room earlier in the week, I decided to see what recipes were already in the historical literature. Actually, it was my wife who was looking through 1869 Cooling Cups & Dainty Drinks, and one of us spotted the Brandy Champerelle. With equal parts of brandy, curaçao, and bitters, it seemed pretty inverted to me. The Brandy Champerelle appears in Jerry Thomas' 1862 The Bartender's Guide: How To Mix Drinks in a very similar format save for the measurements being "1/3 small glass" each and calling for specifically for Bogart's Bitters. It gives very little in the way of instruction which is why some books have it as a stirred drink and others have it as a layered drink à la Pousse-café such as in Harry Johnson's 1888 Bartender's Manual. The Cooling Cups & Dainty Drinks version was a stirred one, and that format held more interest to me in terms of flavor and the theme. Moreover, I had already made a layered Champerelle a few years ago from Boothby's World Drinks and How to Mix Them.
Essentially, this recipe was an inverted Fancy Brandy Cocktail with the otherwise minor orange liqueur and bitters ingredients given the same volumetric weight. The only regret is that I had run out of lemons, for a lemon twist seems like it could set up the drink rather elegantly. Without a twist, the aroma was orange and spice. The sip began rather orange when the drink was cold, but as it warmed up, it became more cherry from the Angostura Bitters. Finally, the swallow offered the brandy and the bitters' allspice and clove. Overall, it was surprisingly refreshing, and the balance of orange liqueur to bitters reminded me of the Dragon's Mouth that I had at Beaker & Flask in Portland. Moreover, the combination made me think of the Genever-based Red Light from Beta Cocktails.
So thank you to Stewart for not only hosting this month's Mixology Monday but picking such an interesting and abstract-yet-approachable theme. Cheers!
After the Tiger Lily two Friday's ago, I opened up my reprint of Hugo Ensslin's 1916 Recipes for Mixed Drinks and found the Up to Date. I remembered spotting the drink in the PDT Cocktail Book before, and they opted for a manzanilla sherry, different proportions than I used, and added a lemon twist. Perhaps the lemon twist would be a great addition, but I think that my choosing a darker sherry worked better with the rye for my tastes. In retrospect, perhaps Lustau's East India Solera sherry would have been a good selection too albeit in a less funky, nutty, and old school feeling way.
The sherry in the Up to Date dominated the nose, and this worked with the Grand Marnier to almost come off with a hint of Maraschino from the oloroso's nuttiness and the Grand Marnier's fruit. A dry grape and malt sip was followed by the rye whiskey and the nutty sherry on the swallow. Finally, the drink ended with a spiced orange finish.
Another of the drinks that Katie Emmerson created for the Whiskey & Amari Night at the Blue Room was the Fannie Porter. The formula was one that she had tinkered with in the past, and I had a gin version at the Hawthorne that she called the Young Blood. This time, the recipe used rye whiskey and chocolate bitters, and the combination perhaps worked even better than the gin. For a glimpse of Fannie's life, I'll repost what I wrote on the Facebook event page:
Another of the amazing women that Katie and I will be honoring on Monday is Texas madam Fannie Porter. Wait, did I say madam -- er, the U.S. census listed her establishment as a "boarding house" and not a brothel. So perhaps she was a famous landlady instead? Besides the five ladies that lived there, they also sheltered quite a few outlaws on the run; famous and often frequent visitors included Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, Kid Curry, and other members of the Wild Bunch gang. She not only protected her girls but her outlaws as well.
Fannie was born in England but traveled with her parents to the U.S. at an early age. By age 15, she was already working as a prostitute in San Antonio, Texas. Her business acumen brought her to owning her own brothel by age 19 or 20 that was always filled with attractive girls with excellent hygiene and immaculate appearances. There was some turnover through the years since there was a good bit of matchmaking going on as outlaws would fall in love with the women.
Fannie was pretty well connected and ran her establishment without too much interference from the law. She was arrested once for "vagrancy" which is a police-speak for prostitution. It is surmised that it might have been linked to the time she chased a policeman from her establishment and threatened to beat him senseless with a broom.
So if you decide to partake of the libation bearing her name, we will use the utmost discretion for any and all occurrences that night. And hopefully, we do not have to chase you out with a broom.
The last drink that Katie crafted for the event was a tall drink, and it was the perfect option for anyone looking for something either refreshing or without bitter liqueurs. The special touch was a Rangpur lime marmalade that she had made that week. From the Facebook event page:
One of the most famous women we're honoring tomorrow at the Blue Room is Annie Oakley. Born Phoebe Ann Oakley Moses, she was shooting like a pro by the age of 12. Her time in Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show included such acts like shooting a playing card the thin way and shooting ash off of a cigarette while it was being smoked. Through her career, Annie worked to empower women by teaching over 15,000 of them to shoot guns, not only for the exercise but as a way to defend themselves.
If you're looking for scandal, there was the 1904 story published about her getting arrested to support her cocaine habit. Unfortunately, it was a burlesque performer who told the police that her name was Annie Oakley, and the newspapers took off with the story. The real Annie spent years winning libel lawsuits but only breaking even with legal fees.
Instead of posting a besmirching quote and fearing Annie's vengeance, here's an uplifting one: “Aim at a high mark and you will hit it. No, not the first time, not the second time and maybe not the third. But keep on aiming and keep on shooting for only practice will make you perfect. Finally you’ll hit the bull’s-eye of success.”
Shake with ice and strain into a Highball glass filled with ice. Top with soda water and add a straw.
One of the drinks that my partner-in-crime, Katie Emmerson from the Hawthorne, created was a tribute to Calamity Jane. That night in service, I used the mnemonic of Calamity Gin to remember which recipe the name referred to. For an amaro, she opted for Luxardo's Abano, but the ingredient that got the most praise was the ginger syrup which was freshly juiced ginger with sugar. People figured that the "ginger" in the ingredient list was a more subtle ginger liqueur, although that would work in a pinch here. My favorite part of the recipe was the inclusion of two orange slices in the shake that reminded me of Sam Ross' Too Soon?. While I only got to straw taste the drink and thus have no written tasting notes, people seemed to enjoy this libation tremendously that night. Instead, I can offer my notes from the Facebook event page:
Another of the drinks on Monday the 11th is named after Martha Jane Canary, or more specifically after her nickname Calamity Jane. Back in the day, women were not allowed to do certain jobs; therefore, Martha began to dress in men's clothing and built up a reputation as a hard drinker (see the event photo of her) who could out swear, out spit, and out shoot any man. She became a solider to explore the Black Hills and during an Indian ambush, she gained the name Calamity Jane when she rescued her injured captain and brought him to safety.
Her colorful life included nursing the victims of a smallpox outbreak in Deadwood, but it was joked that those that she cured would end up with other diseases as a crack about Calamity working a brothel or two amongst her many other professions. After her time saving stage coaches, swimming across rivers to deliver communications, and the like, she became a part of Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show -- at first as a sharp shooter and horse rider, but later as a storyteller. This lasted for a bit with the stories getting bigger each time until she was fired for her frequent drunkenness and the antics that followed.
She led a good life and for that we should toast her! And she got her dying wish -- to be buried next to Wild Bill Hickok, a man she was infatuated with but would not return her affection. The drink named after her is spicy, rich, and complex and Calamity Jane wouldn't want it any other way.
Besides the ginger syrup, Katie also prepared a pineapple syrup for pineapple as many darker amari pair quite well with it. She was running low on time, and I recommended a choose-your-own (or bartender's choice) amaro Fix. For a recipe, she based it off of the Fernet Fix and figured out that Averna was one of her favorites in this combination. The biggest fan perhaps was Deep Ellum's Max Toste who ordered this drink a few times with a different amaro each drink. For a name, she wanted something trampy -- someone from the Wild West who got around (given the open nature of the recipe). For a name, Katie opted for Kitty Leroy who was performing in dance halls and saloons by age 14. By age 15, she was married for a brief time; the marriage failed for she was promiscuous and too wild. Later, she became a card dealer and often dressed in men's clothes. After becoming a skilled gambler and then a saloon owner, she was on to her third husband. The two of them got into an argument and she attacked him; when he would not fight back and strike a lady, she returned dressed in men's clothing and attacked again. This time with a gun, and she shot him dead. Actually, he was not her husband then and not quite dead yet, but they got married in the few days left in his life after the incident. A little bit of prostitution, gambling, and another two husbands before one of them shot her dead. To make this promiscuous drink:
Shake with ice and strain into a rocks glass. Fill with crushed ice, add a straw, and garnish with berries in season.
Build in a Highball glass, fill with crushed ice, add a straw, and garnish with an orange twist and freshly grated nutmeg.
The fourth drink I created for the Women of the Wild West night was one to fulfill the tall drink category. Instead of a Highball, I decided to do a Cobbler; the sherry, vermouth, and Pimm's all seemed to take to Fernet Branca rather well which aided in fitting in with the Whiskey and Amari theme. To bolster the Pimm's that was losing out slightly to the grape products, I added a little Maraschino to bring out more of the Pimm's fruit notes. For a name, I decided to honor Dora DuFran, or more specifically one of her four brothels. I think that night during service, people enjoyed ordering the drink for the name alone -- Diddlin' Dora, and the tasty Cobbler that came with it was just a bonus. Here is what I wrote on the Facebook event page as a teaser:
One of the drinks on the 11th is a tribute to Dora DuFran, one of the most successful madams in the Wild West. She started her life in the West as a dancehall girl, and once the Gold Rush hit, she became a madam and moved her way up to owning four establishments in different cities. My favorite of the bunch was called Diddlin' Dora's and the sign on the right is a reproduction of an advertisement for that establishment. Diddlin' Dora's advertised itself as "Three D's -- Dining, Drinking and Dancing -- a place where you can bring your mother" although one cowboy commented that, "I wouldn't want my mother to know I had ever been there." Luckily, this tribute will be something you might not mind telling your mother about...
The nutmeg and orange twist notes filled the Diddlin' Dora's aroma. The grape sip contained some berry notes, and the swallow offered a nuttiness from the sherry and Maraschino and a light menthol and herbal finish. Refreshingly light yet flavorful.
Jumping over to the last drink I created for the Blue Room's Women of the Wild West-themed Whiskey and Amari Night is the Stagecoach Mary. I will do the fourth drink tomorrow, but I figured that this pink and chocolaty drink is the closest I will come to a Valentine's Day recipe, so I might as well print it early. One of the amari that had not received any love in the night's recipe collection was Campari, and the pairing that I eventually focused on was Campari and crème de cacao which worked so well in the Carletti. I wanted to tone down the Campari a touch, so I added a pinch of salt to the recipe. After trying a few base spirits, Pisco seemed the best match for the funky salt-smoothed Campari-cacao combination, and the drink was perhaps influenced by Love Makes You Feel 10 Feet Tall. I think I picked Stagecoach Mary because I figured that I needed to take a break from women engaged in the more sinful professions for one in a more honorable one. For some history on Mary, here is what I wrote up for the event:
No, not all of the women we were honoring on the 11th earned their money through illegal trades, but some like Mary Fields a/k/a Stagecoach Mary had honorable jobs. Mary was the first African-American employed as a mail carrier in the United States, and the second woman to work for the United States Postal Service! Born as a slave, she was freed after the Civil War and made her way West to Montana to work which led her to an Ursuline nunnery as a laborer. Part of Mary's job was to haul goods and materials to the nunnery by horse-drawn wagon. While she lost the job getting into a shootout with a co-worker that gave her grief, it led to her carrier as a mail carrier at age 60 for she was the fastest candidate to hitch 6 horses. She gained a reputation for delivering the mail no matter how bad the conditions were, and protecting it with her guns and accurate aim.
When Mary wasn't working, she was a hell of a woman and hellraiser. At 6 foot 200 pounds, she fit right in with the tough frontier life. Sporting a 6 shooter and a flask of whiskey in her apron, a cigar in her teeth, and a large bore shotgun, she took no shit. With her short temper, she was known to let fists fly, and the Great Falls Examiner claimed that she broke more noses than any other person in central Montana. In fact, she had a standing bet until her death at 82 that she could knock out any man at the bar with a single punch for some money and whiskey.
And for that, we should raise a glass! And hope that we don't give the ghost of Stagecoach Mary the wrong kind of look.
Once mixed, the Stagecoach Mary's twist contributed bright lemon oils that mingled well with a fruitiness from the pisco. A richness from the cacao paired with the vermouth's grape notes. Next, the funky pisco was followed by the less bitter Campari-chocolate combination on the swallow.
(*) The drink was developed originally with aged cachaça, so feel free to substitute for a funkier drink.
The third drink I created for the Women of the Wild West event was by request. Matthew Schrage, who organized the whole Whiskey & Amari series, mentioned that it was his birthday that night, and he would like nothing more than a birthday Scaffa crafted for the event. Scaffas are a 19th century style of cocktail that are stirred, un-iced cocktails often as simple as a spirit, a liqueur, and a dash of bitters; some utilize water for dilution to make them more potable, while others utilize syrup or liqueur's sugar to balance the spirit's heat. As I thought about possible base liquors, I was drawn to sugar cane spirits which had been neglected in the first batch of recipes that Katie Emmerson and I had created for the menu. Looking back at the Scaffas I have had, Scott Holliday's Rum Scaffa and its use of Cynar caught my fancy. Instead of rum proper, I first grabbed an aged cachaça and began to tinker with flavor combinations. Since cachaça is a bit thinner than Plantation Barbados Rum Scott used, I wanted to bolster the body, and eventually I happened up on Drambuie to fulfill this roll -- especially when I recalled how well Scotch and Cynar pair. After remembering Matt's love of rhum agricole, I switched to an aged one for a base spirit, and the change worked albeit it drove the profile to be a little less funky and perhaps more approachable.
With such a quirky drink, it definitely needed a quirky name, and Madame Mustache answered the call. Here is what I wrote on the Facebook event page:
The most curious drink of the night tonight is named after the most curious lady of the bunch, Eleanore Dumont, better known as Madame Mustache. To honor her, there is a Scaffa -- a room temperature, non-dilute cocktail, and feel free to raise a glass with Blue Room's Matthew Schrage for it is his birthday tonight and he requested a Scaffa and he loves rhum agricole (the base spirit here).
When Eleanore arrived in San Francisco in 1850, she claimed to have been the daughter of a French viscount amongst other sordid tales, although it is believed that she was born in New Orleans. At this time, the mustache had not made the trip over to the Wild West yet and she was quite beautiful. She found a job as a card dealer; her game was Vingt-et-un a/k/a "21", a pre-cursor to Blackjack, and by 1854, she had earned enough money to open her own luxurious gambling house. Miners came to be around her witty and charming persona and found losing money was balanced by the privilege of being around her. Amusingly, she was known to buy the men who lost heavily at her table a glass of milk when they’d run out of funds; although other stories say champagne.
She moved her establishment from one boom town to the next. When she was in Montana, she earned the name Moustache Madame from a miner who lost his temper along with a lot of money, and the sobriquet stuck. Soon after, she got out of the business, bought a ranch, and settled down with a handsome man, but sadly he disappeared with all the money, sold the ranch, and left her with debt. Legend has it that she hunted him down and shot him dead from a double shotgun blast. She denied it at first and the sheriff did not bother to investigate, but years later she admitted to it.
At this point, she was penniless, the mustache was in full effect, and her body was not as shapely as before, so men were not seeking her out for her beauty. She chose not to shave off the mustache; it was surmised that she was a shrewd business woman and used it as a gimmick akin to the bearded lady at a sideshow carnival. She still drew customers but she became less of a lady and more of a character. Her establishments were more second rate than lavish at this point, and she added the bordello aspect to her business. Her gambling abilities also went south; one night she had to borrow $300 which she then lost. She then wandered out into the desert with a wine bottle laced with a lethal dose of morphine and with a written suicide note and will.
So raise a glass tonight in honor of the good times in life, but be careful -- Madame Mustache has been known to carry a derringer pistol under her skirt. And after a few, the mustache will not matter as much.
What I thought would be a fringe drink that very few people would order turned out to be a very wrong assumption. Perhaps it was the name, the description, or word of mouth, but it was one of the top 2 or 3 best sellers of the 9 drinks that evening. In fact, we came a jigger away from finishing a freshly opened bottle of Drambuie that night. Luckily, given its popularity, the drink was so easy to make; however, the best part was seeing people ordering the drink by gesturing their finger across their lip!
When made with aged Seleta Cachaça, the drink's nose contained grapefruit oils that complemented the funky grassy notes from the sugar cane spirit. A honey and caramel sip led into a grassy and herbal swallow and spice finish. Once remade with aged rhum agricole, the grassy notes remained but the funkier notes diminished; I cannot tell which way I prefer the drink, but the tribute to the birthday boy aspect won out.
The second drink I worked on for the Women of the Wild West-themed Whiskey & Amari night at the Blue Room was the Pearl de Vere. I decided to use the Scofflaw as a formula and tequila as the spirit. While I tried a variety of amari including Nardini and Ramazzotti, it seemed that Benedictine worked well. I was reassured that there was no rule that the drinks needed to contain either whiskey or Italian bitter liqueurs, so a French liqueur found its way in. I did not do a write up on Pearl de Vere for the Facebook event page since the only photos I could find of Pearl were of her tombstone and her brothel. Pearl found her way to Cripple Creek, Colorado, during the gold rush there. Since men greatly outnumbered the women in town, she took up the profession and soon had opened up her own brothel. Pearl's brothel catered to the more prosperous men, and her ladies wore fine clothing to match their beauty and received good pay and medical exams. At one gala event at her second brothel, she overdid the morphine she occasionally used to sleep and sadly never awoke. Her lavish funeral procession played such tunes as "There'll be a Hot Time in the Old Town Tonight" in tribute.
The orange oils from the twist complemented the aged tequila aroma. The lime and citrus-wine complemented the light caramel notes in the sip, and the tequila mingled with the herbal Benedictine and Angostura spice on the swallow.
One of the first drinks that I came up with for the Women of the Wild West-themed Whiskey and Amari night was the Belle Starr. For a direction, I based the drink off of the Marconi Wireless-like Star Cocktail for obvious reasons. I split the apple brandy into apple and whiskey, swapped the sweet vermouth for Bonal, and added Strega to take it in a Green Point or Nonantum Cocktail direction. The first pass used rye and Yellow Chartreuse and these would make a fine substitution. For a history of Belle Starr, I will turn to what I wrote in the Facebook event page:
Belle Starr, the Bandit Queen, is another Woman of the Wild West to be honored next Monday in drink. Born Myra Belle Shirley, she spent much of her childhood as a spoiled rich kid, until the Kansas-Missouri Border War broke out which took her brother and destroyed her family business. A few years later, after the James-Younger Gang robbed a bank, Myra was smitten by one of the robbers, James Reed whom she later married, gave them shelter, and became a member of the gang. Her parents had no objection to the marriage since James was not yet a wanted man and they lived a good, upstanding life in Texas. Until they moved back to Missouri where Reed was indeed a wanted man for allegedly murdering a man. So they fled to California, where outlaw life caught up and led to Reed's demise via gunfire. Myra then married Sam Starr, formed a gang, and entered upon a life of rustling, horse stealing and bootlegging whiskey to Indians. The lifestyle was lucrative and they used the extra money to bail out gang members; when that wouldn't work, Belle Starr would use her womanly charms. Her arrests and being written up in the Police Gazette had turned her into a western folk hero, "a female Robin Hood and a Jesse James." Her career ended during an ambush at age 41. A lot of her infamy came after her death including some from stories told by her daughter, Pearl, who enhanced her mom's outlaw image by running brothels in the West from the late 19th century until World War I.
The Belle Starr's lemon twist oils joined the aroma of the apple brandy. An apple and grape sip led into a whiskey swallow with an herbal and bitter finish. Indeed, the end result was somewhere between the two drinks I based it off of and perhaps close to the Woxum from the Old Waldorf-Astoria Bar Book as well.
(*) The recipe was provided as 1/2 oz (7 mL). I ended up using the 1/2 oz instead of the 7 mL (which would be 1/4 oz) here.
Two Fridays ago, at the beginning of the cocktail hour, I decided to make the Tiger Lily that I spotted in the Big Bartender's Book. The source of the recipe is Ted Saucier's Bottom's Up; I had held off on making the recipe for a while since I could not spot the drink in my copy of Saucier and figured that there was a mis-attribution. I finally realized that the recipe resides in the 1951 first edition version and not in my 1962 second edition of the book. The Tiger Lily is credited to Robert Bushnell, and I have no further explanation for the recipe's removal.
The Tiger Lily's lemon peel oil aroma danced over that of the dark rum and hint of orange liqueur. Flavorwise, Andrea commented that it was very punch-like given its smooth citrussy balance. Indeed, the sip was mostly orange and lemon, until the ice melted and the rum's caramel notes came out. Next, the rum and brandy filled the swallow along with an orange peel finish.
Shake with ice and strain into a rocks glass filled with ice. Add ~1 oz ginger beer and flame a lemon twist over the top.
Two Thursdays ago, I stopped by Bergamot where Paul Manzelli and Kai Gagnon were tending bar. For a drink, I asked Paul for the Tombstone Mule from the menu. The drink offered up a lemon, honey, and mezcal aroma. A carbonated honey and lemon sip led into a smokey agave swallow and a ginger finish.
Tomorrow night, Monday February 11th, will be my bartending debut! I will be accompanied by the Hawthorne's Katie Emmerson at the Blue Room's Whiskey and Amari Night Series. For our night, we are doing a Women of the Wild West theme -- a drink-guided history of some pretty bad-assed broads. Nine women, nine drinks, including a 19th century style Scaffa (room temperature cocktail) named after an infamous professional gambler and madame in honor of Matt Schrage's birthday! Bully Boy Aged Whiskey and Fernet Branca will be in the house and "For a Few Dollars More" will be playing in the background. Drinks and bar snacks for purchase.
I'll be posting some drinks soon from last week's event featuring No. 9 Park's Tyler Wang and Scholars' John Henderson. And the next two weeks are listed on the flier below (click to enlarge):
Two Wednesdays ago, I was flipping through Hugo Ensslin's 1916 Recipes for Mixed Drinks and spotted the Little Rebel, an egg white applejack and Scotch Daisy. Besides the allure of apple and smokey whisky which worked so well in drinks like the Applewood and French Toast Flip, I recalled Camper English's article on grenadine that lists the Little Rebel and other drinks by Ensslin as part of the first major wave of grenadine-containing cocktails. While no back history on the cocktail name was provided, there was a movie called The Little Rebel in 1914. Moreover, although not a precise match, there was a 1911 Broadway melodrama called The Littlest Rebel which would have played near where Ensslin was tending bar nearby at the Wallick Hotel on 43rd and Broadway in Manhattan.
In the Little Rebel, apple and smoke greeted the nose. The egg white provided a mouthfeel to the sip along with a smoothness to both the malt and fruitiness of the lime, pomegranate, and apple. Next, the swallow began with the Scotch and finished with the apple brandy. Indeed, there were more apple notes on the nose but more Scotch on the palate.
Two Tuesdays ago for the cocktail hour, I made the Kirkwood that Imbibe Magazine covered in their article on Georgia in the November 2010 issue. The Kirkwood was created by Miles Macquarrie of Leon's Full Service in Decatur. Miles modeled the drink after the Red Hook and named the recipe after one of the neighborhoods in Atlanta.
The Kirkwood's grapefruit twist dominated the aroma at first, but later grape notes from the Punt e Mes crept in. A malt and grape sip led into a rye swallow. The swallow also contained the St. Germain which came across in a grapefruity way and was balanced well by the Cynar and Punt e Mes' bitter notes.
After the Rebennack, I decided to make a recipe I found in Louis Mixed Drinks from 1906 called the Wells Cocktail. With a brandy base and fruit and minty herbal notes in the mix, it seemed like it would make a great nightcap. Once prepared, the Wells proffered a berry aroma. The cassis continued on into the sip with a hint of mint. The rest of the mint flavors came through in the swallow along with the brandy, and the Wells ended with a tart cassis finish and lingering menthol notes. The Fernet Branca was surprisingly tame here, and perhaps it was smoothed out by the cassis and hidden by the menthe.
Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with an orange twist draped over the rim of the glass.
Two Mondays ago, I spotted a collection of Chris Hannah recipes in Tom Sandham's World's Best Cocktails, and the Rebennack he created at French 75 in New Orleans seemed to appeal the most to Andrea. Chris named the drink after the singer and song writer Mac Rebennack who is better known as Dr. John. The drink was one that Chris used to make for his flask, and during Mardi Gras in 2010, he let Dr. John have a taste at a Krewe de Vieux event; soon after, Chris dubbed the drink after the musician. While researching the drink afterwards, it appears that the Rebennack is a fluid recipe as I was able to find a few significant variations. The most common and perhaps oldest one is a rye drink with Averna and Creole Shrubb, and I was able to find an intermediary Bourbon one with Averna and Strega.
The Rebennack made with Bourbon, Ramazzotti, and Strega offered up an orange oil aroma on top of darker notes. A malt and caramel sip was followed by Bourbon with orange peel bitterness and Strega's herbal flavors on the swallow. Surprisingly, even with an ounce of amari, the drink came across as somewhat dry especially on the swallow.
The other cocktail I had at Brick & Mortar was another of Misty Kalkofen's creations called A Slow Dance with Pedro Infante. José Pedro Infante Cruz is one of the most famous actors and singers of the golden age of Mexican cinema, and he frequently sang slow, danceable songs during his movies. The drink itself greeted the nose with a smoky agave aroma. A caramel sip from the Averna led into a mezcal and herbal swallow and a Gran Classico bitter finish.
Two Sundays ago, we stopped in at Brick & Mortar where Kenny Belanger and Cory Buono were bartending that night. For a first drink, I asked Kenny for the Mistaken for Strangers. Kenny explained that Misty Kalkofen had created this drink for the holiday menu and had called it The Grinch. After December was over, Misty decided that the name needed to be changed to something less seasonal. Since the combination of grappa and Green Chartreuse is one that is not expected, she renamed it Mistaken for Strangers. Overall, the drink shared a resemblance to the Green Ghost.
The Mistaken for Strangers greeted the nose with a Green Chartreuse aroma, and as things warmed up a bit, grappa joined the aroma. A herbal and lime sip was followed by the funky grappa, the Green Chartreuse, and an almost minty note on the swallow. Indeed, the drink was like a drier, less herbal, and more funky Silent Order. Moreover, the grappa and Chartreuse went well together perhaps akin to how grappa paired with the herbal and vegetal notes in the Piazza Vecchia.
Shake once without ice and once with ice. Strain into a coupe glass and garnish with 5 drops of Angostura Bitters. Swirl the drops with a toothpick to resemble a flower (mine sort of looked like birds).
After the Golden Dog, I picked up The Cocktail Hour's vodka booklet to see if there were any vodka recipes that could be converted into tasty gin ones. The one that seemed to have potential that night was the Lion Tamer from Vince Lund of Beretta in San Francisco. Vince first made the drink for a Leo guest of his, and the name Lion Tamer seemed to fit.
The drink's Angostura Bitters offered a spice aroma with additional notes that alternated between the St. Germain's floral and the cassis' berry. The sip was full of lime flavors that were joined by the fruit notes in the St. Germain. Finally, on the swallow, the gin, St. Germain's floral, and black currant rounded out the drink. While gin was as decent substitution, I felt that all the elements were calling out for agave, whether tequila or mezcal, as I was drinking it down.
Two Fridays ago, I picked up Gary Regan's Annual Manual for Bartenders 2011 and looked for anything to glean after a few passes at it. One that stood out was the Golden Dog by Matt Piacentini then of Inoteca Liquori Bar in New York City and now of The Beagle. I had skipped over it the first time for the combination with Lillet did not catch my eye; however, when I read the text this time where it suggested, "If you want to make it a little richer, say on a cold night, substitute the Lillet with Bonal," the Golden Dog seemed rather appealing given Bonal's bitter complexity.
The peaty whisky aroma mingled with that of the apricot liqueur. The malt sip contained a fruit note from either the liqueur's apricot or the Bonal's grape. Next, the swallow showcased the Scotch, Bonal and Benedictine's herbal notes, and a bitter apricot finish. With the Bonal instead of Lillet in the mix, perhaps it was a little more of a brown dog, but overall quite good.
Two Wednesdays ago, I spied the Temptation in Pioneers of Mixing at Elite Bars: 1903-1933, and I was lured in by this herbal and fruity Swedish Punsch libation. With an interpretation of the vague recipe to include a greater amount of dry vermouth, I hoped to tone down the vast amount of sweetness within. The Temptation once mixed proffered a lemon oil and tea nose. A sweet white wine sip contained a honey-like note perhaps from the Yellow Chartreuse. Next, the swallow showcased the Punsch's rum, an herbalness from the Yellow Chartreuse and the Punsch's tea, and an apricot finish. Overall, the Temptation was indeed sweet, but not as sweet as it was pre-dilution; perhaps serving it on the rocks to tone down the sugar content would not be a bad idea. Moreover, the Yellow Chartreuse notes could probably be increased for they were a bit hidden; however, they did appear once the drink warmed up.
Two Tuesdays ago, I was flipping through Tom Sandham's World's Best Cocktails and spotted a perfectly named drink, the Tuesday by Nick Van Tiel. Essentially, the Tuesday was a Red Hook made with gin and orange bitters instead of rye. For the Maraschino component, I opted for Marasca over Luxardo for I wanted the balance to be less driven by the liqueur.
The Tuesday's lemon twist aroma joined a fruity note from either the Maraschino or the Punt e Mes' grape. The grape was definitely evident in the sip though, and as the drink warmed up, so was the orange from the bitters. On the swallow, the gin and the Punt e Mes' bitter notes transitioned into a Maraschino finish. Finally, as the drink approached room temperature, the Tuesday became less sharp in balance.
Stir with ice and strain into a cocktail coupe rimmed with dried olive powder (was not available at the bar that night). Twist a lemon peel over the top.
For my last drink at Estragon, bartender Sahil Mehta wanted to showcase a cocktail that he crafted for a Bärenjäger competition using their Bourbon & Honey product. When I expressed curiosity over the name Bitchertown, Sahil explained that it is a neighborhood in Louisville, Kentucky, where German immigrants settled; thus, there was a tie in with the whiskey and the German origin of the liqueur. Normally, the drink is served with a dried olive powder rim like in the San Luca to bring out the brine and savory notes in the sherry, but the bar was all out of the olive powder. Moreover, the savory notes in the sherry are what made Sahil reach for the spice notes in the kümmel.
The Butchertown greeted the nose with a lemon oil, caraway, and sherry aroma. A honey and grape sip was followed by the wonderful pairing of the manzanilla sherry and kümmel spice. Indeed, Sahil was on the money with that pairing.
Muddle an one inch piece of celery. Add rest of ingredients and ice, stir, and strain into a rocks glass rimmed with celery salt and filled with ice. Top with 1-2 oz soda water, garnish with the leafy end of a celery stalk, and add straws.
After J.M. Curley, I crossed town to meet Andrea at Estragon for dinner. For a first drink, bartender Sahil Mehta made me one of his celery-inspired cocktails; I am not sure if Celery Stalker was the name assigned to this variation, but it was the most catchy of the bunch. The combination of agave, manzanilla sherry, and falernum sounded rather appealing especially when I recalled a Tequila Scaffa that Tyler Wang made for me at No. 9 Park on my birthday. And of course, the sherry fit in rather well with Estragon's Spanish theme.
The vegetalness of the muddled celery in the drink, celery salt rim, and the celery stalk garnish contributed greatly to the drink's aroma. The celery carried on into the flavor where it joined a dry grape and lime sip. Finally, the smoky mezcal led off the swallow that ended with clove spice notes and a vegetal finish.

Here's A Close Look At Four Broad-Based Commodity Index ETFs - ETF Daily News
Written by Brad Zigler From Hard Assets Investor: It seems all of my end-of-summer barbecues invariably result in a bout of backyard braggadocio about investments. Not that I invite it, mind you; it just happens. This week's get-together featured more plaints than posturing, as my acquaintances invested in commodity index exchange-traded funds groused about their funds' poor performance.
"If commodities are doing so well," grumbled Medium-Cheeseburger-Hold-the-Onions, "how come I'm not making any money?"
"Yeah," carped Spicy-Linguica-Lots-of-Mustard, "I was supposed to earn twice the market return. Instead, I think I earned less than the index!"
I must admit that my explanations, punctuated with bites of potato salad, lacked the numerical foundation of my typical HAI (www.hardassetsinvestor.com) articles, but one can only do so much without a whiteboard.
For the record (and the further edification of charbroiled investors everywhere), let me elucidate fully.
Four Commodity ETFs: Side By Side
First, a little stage setting. The backyard complaints were made about exchange-traded funds, not notes. ETFs and ETNs, while similar in many ways, are plainly different vehicles for obtaining index exposure. Apple and oranges there, so we'll look only at ETFs in this analysis.
By the grill, we discussed four broad-based commodity index ETFs:
The PowerShares DB Commodity Index Tracking Fund (NYSE Arca: DBC), which is based upon the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodity Index – Optimum Yield Excess Return (Index), a benchmark composed of six of the most heavily-traded futures contracts in the world;
The iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust (NYSE Arca: GSG), which tracks the S&P GSCI Total Return Index (a variant of the former Goldman Sachs Commodity Index), a production-weighted group of two dozen commodity futures;
The GreenHaven Continuous Commodity Index Fund (NYSE Arca: GCC), whose benchmark is the current iteration of the equal-weighted successor to the Commodity Research Bureau Index, a portfolio comprising 17 commodity futures; and
The ProShares Ultra Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index Fund (NYSE Arca: UCD), which attempts to offer twice the daily return of the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index, a simulation of a 19-commodity portfolio.
If there were an overhead projector available, we could have regarded a colorful depiction of the ETFs' year-to-date performance that would have looked like this:
Broad-Based Commodity Index ETFs
It seems as if whatever distinctiveness a fund exhibited early in the year eroded as time passed. The performance characteristics separating the funds in the spring appear to have been largely mitigated by the time fall rolled around.
Period Return Annualized Volatility Sharpe Ratio
(GCC) 8.99% 24.04% .51
(GSG) 4.86% 37.42% .17
(UCD) 5.78% 53.41% .15
(DBC) 2.88% 29.36% .13
While there's only a 6.11% absolute top-to-bottom performance differential, the spread's quite significant in relative terms; after all, GCC's return was three times that of DBC. What accounts for the performance dispersion among these funds?
Basically, it boils down to the three C's: composition, contango and compounding.
The Impact Of Oil Exposure
GCC's outsized performance is due in great part to compositional factors. The fund is equal-weighted, meaning each of its 17 futures components hefts 5.88% of the index load. The other indexes are production- or demand-weighted, to one degree or another. DBC's weighting scheme is the most intensely concentrated: Just a half-dozen of the most actively traded futures populate its portfolio.
That said, the heavyweight in these portfolios is crude oil. Currently, crude accounts for more than 37% of the PowerShares DBC fund, while the iShares (GSG) product is based upon an allocation of over 39% to crude oil. Oil's weight in the ProShares (UCD) fund is 18%. But in the GreenHaven (GCC) fund, oil's allocation is less than 6%, and it's no bigger than any other in the portfolio.
With spot oil up 60% on the year, you'd think the larger a fund's exposure to crude, the better its performance would be. So how come the fund with the smallest oil allotment has outgunned the other funds?
That brings us to the second (C) in our triad: contango. Contango's not a skin condition, though it does cause a fair amount of itchiness among traders. It describes the tendency of back-month futures to trade at a premium to nearby deliveries. Contango reflects the carrying charges, or the costs of financing, insuring and storing a cargo until the delivery date specified by a futures contract. When there's abundant supply of a commodity, there's plenty to carry into the future.
It should be no surprise to you that demand for crude has tumbled over the past year. As a result, supply has backed up and the oil market contango has swelled to record highs.
For futures traders, contango's a cost of doing business. An index fund, obliged to maintain constant exposure to its portfolio components, must periodically roll its long positions forward when its futures approach expiry. That means selling the nearby (and, in a contango market, the lower-priced) contract and buying the higher-priced deferred delivery one.
Buy high, sell low is not a recipe for profit, and each roll in a contango environment eats into any amassed profit. Thus, the steeper the contango, the greater the disparity between an ETF's performance and the spot commodity return. Keep in mind that, at one point this year, the three-month roll in crude oil would have cost an investor 40%.
So, the greater a fund's exposure to this carrying-charge market, the greater its return attrition, rather than accretion.
UCD Hit By Compounding Returns
That brings us to the third C: compounding. Compounding accounts for the rather tepid performance of the ProShares (UCD) portfolio, which aims to deliver twice the daily performance of its underlying index.
Even if (UCD) were perfect—that is, it produced no tracking error—in yielding two times the Dow Jones-UBS Commodity Index day to day, the compounding of returns produces greater effects, much like the magnifying power of a telescope lens. Both upward and downward returns are supersized.
For example, imagine buying (UCD) shares at $20 just ahead of a five-day run of 1% gains. Compounding the returns over five days (found mathematically as: $20 x 1.01^5) would put (UCD) at $21.02.
That's 2 cents more than just a simple 5% accretion ($20 x 1.05). Stretch that out over 180 trading days or so, and you've got a real disparity. Now make the daily returns negative, and the under-performance becomes equally dramatic—the compounding effect in reverse.

Is Your Business Stuck? How Leaders Get Outside the Box | Platinum Group
"Getting stuck" happens to the best of entrepreneurs. Whether they are the biggest employer in a small town or a family business in a big city, they often find themselves in critical transitions such as losing customers, market share, money or the dream of leaving a family legacy.
Business owners unknowingly put themselves in a box and stay there; their business processes and go-to-market strategies remain stagnant. What's more, many industries are going through fundamental changes — such as overseas manufacturing — but many owners are slow to adapt. For starters, they need to consider new ways to serve customers, improve automation and make investments in capital equipment that will pay off. Yet forward-thinking strategies seem impossible while struggling through a transition.
Three common signs of companies that "get stuck" include:
Sign #1: Working with the same people for too many years. Long-time employees are loyal but they aren't innovative enough to help the business get "unstuck" during a business decline. Outside ideas are needed to change market approaches, streamline work processes and apply new trends. Owners should strive for management balance between experienced people from inside and "new blood" from outside the organization.
Sign #2: Fighting fires on a regular basis; always operating in a reactive mode. Even while losing money every month, there's no clear plan to change. Owners should step back and look proactively at how the business could run differently.
Sign #3: An increased reliance on a small handful of customers. This is a major vulnerability for any business and can come from a compensation program that rewards salespeople for maintaining customers rather than finding new ones.
In many cases, business owners can easily make a bad situation worse due to leadership limitations.
A change of the owner's mindset is important — from "the business needs me" and "I'm in charge!" — to putting the organization first as a leader and developer of people. Important leadership steps toward getting through a transition include:
Let others make decisions by mentoring them. When employees rely on the owner for all decision-making, there's no room for growth and new ideas. Owners should ask questions that help employees see the rationale behind good decisions, such as "What options do you see to solve this problem?" "Which option would you choose and why?" If there are options they haven't considered, offer alternatives and then allow employees time to think before making a final choice. This approach grows a sense of accomplishment and people's ability to handle more responsibility.
Set up accountability processes. To encourage and monitor good decision-making, the owner should be the voice of accountability: How do we work the plan? How soon will this project be done? How are we doing? Systematic follow up on issues that others are assigned to complete is the mark of a proactive leader.
Look for both formal and informal learning opportunities. Constant learning about the world outside of the organization contributes to becoming a better leader. Examples include peer-to-peer groups, outside training, coaching, books, magazines, trade organizations, and business events.
Gain satisfaction in making others successful rather than taking all the credit. For example, celebrate employee accomplishments even though they may have done it differently than the owner. While becoming a better trainer by helping people learn, an owner can move from day-to-day management to more proactive strategies.
Get better positioned. Look at the business through the eyes of customers and consider how to realign the business model to make it easier for others to work with you. This may be as easy as a once a week proactive phone call with major customers to discuss inventory levels or track production schedules.
Getting "unstuck" doesn't happen overnight yet owners that provide strong leadership have developed a team that is capable of solving problems during a decline in business. In the process, owners have more time and energy to grasp a vision and look outside the box.

Things new and old... Register To Post
Posted on: 2014/9/23 12:04
Old houses need more maintenance. Thus is a realisation that comes to us in our later years.
The website has been creaking for some time and now bits are beginning to break off and fall away. It's getting to the stage where it is almost impossible to maintain. Please forge give the glitches and the long absences. At times I have been locked out of my my own tumble-down website!
I've been trying to get to grips with WordPress in order to get the website into some kind of maintainable order. This will be a "work in progress" but we are in the way. If you came direct to the discussion forum please do take a look at our new "front door"! You will see that we are not only refurbishing biblebase but refocusing it too. I'll say more about that at a later time but take a look at our vision/mission statement. I wrote this for my own benefit originally but decided to make it public.
Thank you for your patience, as the railway announcements say, normal (in fact better than normal) service will be resumed as soon as possible.

Ensuring the Sustainability of Singapore's Trade | BrightSparks E-Magazine
Ensuring the Sustainability
of Singapore's Trade
Trade is the lifeblood of Singapore's economy. Hear how IE Singapore Scholar Chow Guan Min plays a part in Singapore's growing stature as a global trading hub.
S ingapore's strategic location, political stability and pro-business environment make it one of the easiest places to trade and do business. On top of this, Singapore is Asia's leading commodity trading hub and has a network of industry players along the value chain. For these reasons and more, commodity players from around the world have chosen to entrench their trading operations in Singapore, effectively boosting the growth of our thriving trade hub and strengthening our overall economy.
"People are very much aware of IE Singapore's work in helping Singapore companies expand overseas. What is often overlooked is IE's work in growing Singapore as a trading hub. Our heritage stems from our beginnings as the Trade Development Board in 1983," explains Chow Guan Min, who has been with IE Singapore's Trade Group for over five years.
Guan Min is currently a Senior Manager in the Trade Group's Trade Finance and Insurance Unit. Her key role is to ensure that the trading community in Singapore is able to effectively access financing and insurance through service providers based here. "We do this by facilitating connections between traders, financiers, and insurance brokers and underwriters. We also try to understand gaps in the local trade financing and insurance landscape, and work towards plugging these gaps by bringing critical industry players to Singapore. Another important aspect of our work is to put forth policy recommendations that would better enable trading companies' access to trade financing and insurance here," Guan Min encapsulates her role perfectly.
Guan Min tells us honestly that she never expected to join the Trade Group. Back when she was an undergraduate at the University of Chicago, she looked forward to a career in supporting local companies as they make their mark on the global map. It was not until she got a taste of trade work during her internship in Guangzhou, China that she reevaluated her goals. This two-month internship was when she worked with her regional director to uncover and encourage trading companies based in the Guangdong province and in Hong Kong to set up their regional trading operations in Singapore. Her internship experience was one of the motivations behind her decision to join the energy and chemicals division within the Trade Group after graduating from UChicago and thereafter Stanford.

"I also appreciate various opportunities to be involved in strategy development for the sector, as well as impactful industry projects at an early stage in my career."
Her time in the Trade Group has brought her a string of opportunities that form the tapestry of a rich and stimulating career. Guan Min shares one distinct highlight of her time at IE Singapore, when she was part of the organising team of the Trade Group's biennial flagship event, the Global Trader Summit (GTS). As this event was in conjunction with IE Singapore's 30th anniversary, her team was challenged to bring the event to a whole new level.
She recalls, "We experimented with new concepts and discussion formats to break away from having just conventional panel discussions. For example, for one of the sessions, we invited a futurist to paint a picture of what the trading landscape would be like in 2030. Our delegates were then split up into three groups representing different jurisdictions. They were encouraged to come up with strategies that will enable their jurisdiction to become Asia's leading trade hub by 2030."
Of the experience, Guan Min tells us, "Moving away from the standard format was definitely risky. We also invested in a lot more resources to pull the programme together. I am pleased to say that the project was a success, and it cemented the bonds among all of us in the organising team."
Receiving and Giving Empowerment
Guan Min shares that one rewarding aspect of work is the opportunity to meaningfully engage senior representatives of MNCs as a young officer. "Not many places offer fresh graduates such access. I also appreciate various opportunities to be involved in strategy development for the sector, as well as impactful industry projects at an early stage in my career," she muses.
These industry projects she speaks of include one she is currently spearheading, which requires her team to analyse the macro attributes of the wholesale trade sector. "Apart from studying the sector's industry structure, trade flow and composition, we are also tasked to develop a good grasp of the businesses across the sector's various segments. It can be challenging to learn about an industry when you're not in it and especially when time is a constraint," Guan Min highlights.
This is why she strongly emphasises the importance of learning quickly. She tells us, "Apart from understanding industry concepts, you need to be able to explain them to our stakeholders in a concise and layman manner. You also have to learn how to effectively engage stakeholders from various markets, various industries, and businesses of various sizes. This requires one to be flexible and adaptable."
But the biggest advice she wants to impart to students is that a scholarship is the first step towards one's career. She ends off gracefully, "It is important to understand what your career interests are, and how well these align with the career that your scholarship provider can offer.
"It will also be helpful to talk to current scholars or officers, especially those who have been in the orgnisation for some time. Listen to their work experience to have a better understanding of what the job entails, and what to expect realistically."

Our Co-founder and CEO of Request, Christophe Lassuyt, reflects on the accomplishments of 2021 and looks ahead to the plans for the coming year, and beyond.
Dear Request enthusiasts,
I write this letter to express how truly grateful I am for our community of users, partners, collaborators, and contributors.
Each year, I marvel at how people from all around the world continue to rally together around a shared vision of a future. One where our financial and economic systems work in service of the many, rather than the few.
Crypto is not just an exciting alternative asset class for investors. It is fundamentally transforming the way we live, work and play. But being able to account for and easily manage financial operations in crypto is still incredibly hard - for both organizations and individuals.
Request has been building tools to change that, starting by helping DAOs, metaverse projects, and other crypto-natives send and pay thousands of crypto invoices with ease. But that is just the tip of the iceberg. If we are to build a composable ecosystem of tools that will enable crypto assets to truly become a part of our everyday lives, we cannot do it alone.
My team and I are incredibly proud of the different parts you all have played this year. Whether you were contributing to the open source protocol for payment requests (Request Network), taking an interest in the token (REQ), or an avid user of the invoicing and payment application (Request Finance). Every little bit has helped, in ways you could not have imagined.
2021 saw significant growth for Request - both at the app level: Request Finance, and the protocol level: Request Network. For those who may not be familiar, Request Finance is to Request Network what Consensys is to Ethereum. Request Network is the open source technology that Request Finance is building apps on.
Request has come a long way
In January, there were only 603 transactions in total on the Request Network protocol, with less than 10 businesses using the Request Finance app. The total amount of crypto payments made on the platform at the time was just over $1M.
Today, the Request Network protocol is projected to reach +4,500 transactions per month by the end of the year, with each month seeing new all-time highs in payment activity.
Furthermore, the Request Finance app now helps over 1,000 businesses in managing their crypto payments and financial operations. That's a 100x growth in our users this year, with the total cumulative payments amount now exceeding $160M.
When we started in January, the app only supported 11 currencies. Today, with a growing list of 40+ currencies, 10+ fiat currencies, across 10+ blockchains available as payment options, many more businesses across different Web 3.0 ecosystems can pay each other seamlessly.
We're building a fast growing Web 3.0 product that people love
Our users' needs are at the core of what we do every day. We developed new product features from the many conversations we've had with our users including their votes which have been casted on Snapshot with the REQ token. Special mention to the teams from leading blockchain projects that use Request Finance like The Sandbox, Aave and Gnosis.
The constant feedback we get from all of you, has helped us build features that have dramatically simplified invoicing and payments in crypto. Here are some examples of how our users' feedback has shaped Request Finance:
- Denominating invoices in fiat, while getting paid in crypto with Chainlink's Price Feed: https://request.network/en/2021/06/08/request-chainlink-unlocking-crypto-payments/
- Enabling a batch payment of hundreds of crypto invoices that are paid simultaneously to different wallet addresses with the Gnosis Safe: https://www.request.finance/post/pay-multiple-crypto-invoices-with-batch-payment
- Sending pre-filled invoice templates with your business info to your suppliers in order to save time and avoid errors: https://www.request.finance/post/invoiceme-send-pre-filled-invoice-templates-to-suppliers-save-time-and-avoid-errors
- Automating the bookkeeping and accounting of blockchain-based transactions with Cryptio: https://www.request.finance/post/request-and-cryptio-partner-to-simplify-accounting-with-cryptocurrency
- Allowing invoices to be paid in EUR via SEPA bank transfer while final payment is received in crypto with Monerium: https://youtu.be/3eqg1AHbO-M
We're just getting started…
We're on track to reach 10,000 happy users for Request Finance by the end of 2022.
But we're not going to be able to build everything by ourselves. Web 3.0 is about co-building composable components to advance the community and the technology.
That's why in 2022, we're going to drive efforts at the protocol level to onboard new builders on top of the same technology. This will enable interoperability between financial applications across different blockchain ecosystems, and reduce the duplication of work among innovators. In the coming year, the Request Network protocol will also continue powering payments with new currencies and new payment networks.
At the app level, Request Finance will continue building new beta features which will be open for early access users to test for free. Some of these new features we've lined up include a tool for recording and claiming business expenses, and a payroll solution to make managing global teams with crypto easier. Other features slated for later in the year include things like escrow, payment streaming, and reputation scoring.
Of course, every roadmap will encounter unforeseen hurdles that will require us to adapt. The blockchain space is perhaps one of the fastest growing, and rapidly evolving industries in tech; from regulatory changes, to capital flows, and the emergence of new technologies.
But this is not our first rodeo. Throughout the many bull runs and crypto winters, and the fickle tides of FUD and hopium - our mission remains unchanged. We will continue to keep our feet firmly planted on the ground, and our minds focused on building the things people need and love.
As crypto continues to transform our economies, redefine our careers, and shape our societies, I'm excited to work alongside all of you in the coming year to build the foundations of this future.
I thank you all again for your support, and I welcome you to join us in the next leg of the Request journey.

There was absolutely no energy and the bulk of the show focused on contestants that judges felt “weren’t just quite ready”. In an earlier blog, I said that it now seemed normal not to have Simon Cowell on the show. I take that back, at least Simon is never boring.
Randy seemed disinterested and all Steven wants to do is check out the girls. Going forward, American Idol should take a long look at how they can make the audition process more interesting. Listed below is a recap of my favorite Portland auditions. There weren’t many and based on the show I was surprised to hear that the Portland auditions resulted in 45 “Golden Tickets”. Assuming that the American Idol producers were trying to show the best and most interesting auditions, I shudder to think about the quality of the singers that we didn’t see and the judges sent to Hollywood.

La La Dandy: Around Here. Happy December.
Around Here. Happy December.
Wow November you flew right on by just like the rest of the year has!
Now it's time to look forward to December and all the magic it brings.
This week the decorations came out and little by little they are making the house feel Christmasey!
I made time to start my December Daily .. I'm pretty pleased with how my cover came out. Definitely keeping with the 'bright' colour scheme on this one. I have been looking back at my last two years of the albums I made and just have to laugh at all the blank spots of the days I didn't update. I am determined to have a completed album this year. I can do it! I have new ink and paper for the printer. Let's do this! I can't wait to get started!
I love the idea of a A Christmas Book Advent. This will be our first year doing it and I don't doubt it will be a great Christmas Tradition! I had a small stack that I had collected from Garage Sales and Second hand Book Sellers but I added in a few new ones to get us started this year.

Becoming a Data-Driven Social Enterprise | Echoing Green
Search Becoming a Data-Driven Social EnterpriseSubmitted by Liza Mueller on October 26, 2012
Last week, Echoing Green was thrilled to be highlighted in Salesforce.com CEO Marc Benioff's guest blog post for Forbes about the power of philanthropy and social-minded organizations. For those unfamiliar, Salesforce.com is an enterprise cloud computing company that provides organizations with a suite of customer relationship management (CRM) tools. The corporation operates on the 1/1/1 model, meaning they aim to donate 1% of Salesforce.com equity, 1% of employee time, and 1% of their product to nonprofits and higher education institutions around the world through their corporate foundation. You can learn more about the Salesforce Foundation here.
Salesforce.com has been incredibly valuable to Echoing Green's success in finding and supporting the best emerging social entrepreneurs around the world. As we grow an organization, we continue to invest in and implement new business solutions to support our mission. Donations, Echoing Green Social Investment Council applications, and quarterly reports from Fellows—it all goes into our database to be analyzed and securely stored.
Despite their generosity, Salesforce.com did come under some criticism when trying to trademark the term "social enterprise." But, in September 2012 they withdrew applications after pressure from industry advocates such as Muhammad Yunus and Social Enterprise UK.
We have enjoyed the privilege of advising some of our Fellows on using CRM platforms in their own social enterprises. From 2009 Fellow Barbara Bush's Global Health Corps to 2010 Fellow Nick Ehrmann's Blue Engine, we have played a role in how they use data to troubleshoot, manage customer relationships, and make key organizational decisions.
2012 Fellow Taylor Downs launched Vera Solutions to help other social enterprises use data capture and cloud-based systems to bring critical data to life—changing the way social change organizations operate. Taylor has helped 2009 Fellow Eric Glustrom (Eduate!) build a robust monitoring and evaluation system while he rolls out a socially-responsible leadership and entrepreneurship curriculum in Uganda. And Taylor is working with 2012 Fellows Ani Vallabhaneni and David Auerbach (Sanergy) on a data dashboard that will monitor a network of low-cost sanitation centers across Nairobi.
Here are some tips for those looking to become a data-driven organization:
Ask big questions: What data points are you constantly looking for? What data points would help you gauge success? Write them all down, and prioritize a list of what you need to track from a cost (How long will it take to do this?) versus benefit (How valuable is that information?) perspective. Ask others who do similar work how they are collecting and storing information—most will be more than willing to share lessons learned.
Embrace big (and small) data: When organizations set up systems to collect information, it can be overwhelming to define exactly what is needed. Often you have only one chance to collect information from someone, so make it count and collect necessary details at both a macro and micro level. Consider both the time it takes to provide and manage that information as well as what you will do with it—if you do not have a plan to use it, you may as well lose it.
Make big changes: A common pitfall is to design systems that tell you only what you want to hear, but where is the fun in that? You want to be alerted to both successes and failures from your data. Set up systems that scrutinize parts of your work that are challenging, and give yourself time to use that information to both tweak processes and make big changes in how you do your work.
From long-established providers such as Salesforce.com, Microsoft and Blackbaud, to newer solutions such as Get Satisfaction and Hirise, there are a lot of solutions out there for social entrepreneurs looking to harness data. To find a system that is right for you, check out some of these resources:
• Idealware's annual report of Low Cost Donor Management Systems• The Connected Cause's Insights into CRM for Nonprofits• Paul Greenberg's Social CRM blog with an annual CRM Watchlist of reviews
Data is big, data is powerful, and data is here to stay. From The New York Times to the McKinsey Institute to Foursquare, all signs point to a future where social enterprises challenge the status quo not only with their ideas and innovation but with their data. And as systems like Salesforce.com continue to grow and expand their services, data is a very tangible tool that seems to be making the bridge between business and philanthropy much, much smaller.

Covid-19: What really matters | Latest News India - Hindustan Times
Home / India News / Covid-19: What really matters
Case numbers rose sharply after the lockdown, despite restrictions remaining in place, but by September, India had seen off the peak of the first wave.(Kamal Kishore / PTI)
Covid-19: What really matters
In India, for some time, it looked like the response of the Union and state governments, and also of people, was ideal.
What really matters? No, it's not what you think.
When a country is faced with a pandemic such as the coronavirus disease, the priorities (for both State and individuals) write themselves — health, well-being, economy, education, then everything else. The phrasing may vary, but the priorities, and their order, largely remain the same.
In India, for some time, it looked like the response of the Union and state governments, and also of people, was ideal. Governments scrambled to strengthen health infrastructure. And people, at least those who could afford to, hunkered down to stay safe and abided by the 68-day lockdown. The Centre announced a stimulus programme, although it was criticised by some for an over-emphasis on monetary measures over fiscal ones. It also tried to make life better for the poor, although it mishandled the migrant labour situation till at least May 1 (when it launched special trains for migrant workers to return home).
Case numbers rose sharply after the lockdown, despite restrictions remaining in place, but by September, India had seen off the peak of the first wave. The festive season passed without incident. The Bihar elections came and went, and cases continued to fall. By early February, India's cases were well off their peak, and its vaccine programme was underway. The economy was almost where it was before the pandemic (Nomura's NIBRI, a business resumption index, touched 99.3 in the week of February 21; 100 indicates pre-pandemic level of business activity).
But, by then, things had already started to go wrong.
By the end of 2020, people were partying and vacationing. Schools reopened for physical classes in many parts of the country. Restaurants, bars, malls, and multiplexes all rushed to make up for lost time (and money). Emboldened by the low Covid-19 footprint of the Bihar elections — the state's testing has always been suspect given the predominant use of rapid antigen tests — the Election Commission decided to hold elections in four states and a Union territory.
All parties participated enthusiastically. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), especially, pulled out all the stops, scenting victory in West Bengal, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi donning the avatar of campaigner-in-chief. It was only in the third week of April that the BJP finally decided it would no longer hold large rallies. And it was only on April 22 that the PM decided the situation warranted his presence in New Delhi, and cancelled a campaign trip — this was a day after India crossed 300,000 daily cases for the first time, and recorded 2,102 deaths, its highest till then.
Uttarakhand decided to go ahead with the Mahakumbh, which had a high probability of turning into a classic super-spreader event. The Centre did nothing to stop the state. A belated appeal from the PM to observe the festival in spirit (and without the usual crowds) went out only on April 17.
The second wave broke in late February, and is continuing to rage. On Thursday, cases touched 332,394 and the death toll was 2,255. By Saturday, it went up to 349,158 and 2,759, respectively. Both numbers are likely under-reported; the first because many of those infected remain asymptomatic and testing is inadequate, and the second because states appear to have instructed hospitals to not record Covid-19 as the cause of death. And NIBRI's latest value, for the week ending April 18, stood at 83.8.
The one thing that could have delayed, may be even prevented, the second wave was a more aggressive vaccine drive. Challenging as the logistics are, the reason why India didn't push for more vaccinations was perhaps because no one saw the second wave coming. India's approach to vaccines was unlike that of the United States, which pumped billions of dollars into companies developing vaccines — it was among the few things the Trump administration got spectacularly right. Only on April 19 did the finance ministry sanction ₹4,500 crore as credit to the two vaccine makers (SII and Bharat Biotech).
And the one thing that could have warned of a coming second wave was sequencing of enough viral genomes to track the mutating variants of the virus that are clearly responsible (in some measure), for it — and India wasn't and isn't sequencing enough.
All decisions involve trade-offs and those made by India's political leadership, officials, and citizens, are accurate indicators of what really matters to them.
For the leadership, this has clearly been politics and the economy. It's almost as if it was alright for India to lose if that's what it took for elections to be held in four states. And as cases surged, states delayed instituting curbs that would have prevented spikes in infections (they didn't, the spikes happened, cases overran health systems, and then the states locked down, resulting in even more damage to the economy).
For those managing India's Covid-19 response, the only thing that matters appears to be validation. For some of the rich, or young, or both, it was having a good time even amid the pandemic. For the faithful, it was religion, and few political leaders dared criticise them for fear of offending an existing or potential vote bank. Even a state that touts its progressiveness, Kerala, hemmed and hawed before finally deciding to scale down the Thrissur Pooram festival.
And so, at a time when only science and data should have driven all decisions, we allowed ourselves to be driven by politics and religion and short-term economic concerns, sought instant gratification by flocking to Goa or Nainital, and when challenged, validated our actions by pointing to dubious science or data that showed India was doing better than other countries.
The results of this are all around. As a famous band once sang, "If you plant ice, you're gonna harvest wind." This is a whirlwind.

Gemstones Energies - Danu Group
Nalin DanushkaLeave a Comment on Gemstones EnergiesPosted in Stories
We must remember that the most powerful of all is our mind power. The use of gemstones in the chemical, wave and vibration energy of the gem can only be of some help to the well being of man. It is like a fence on the stairs. The stair fence is not essential for climbing stairs. But having a stair fence will make it easier to climb the stairs. That is also the case with using a gem.
Almost every gem has its own vibrational and waves energy also the chemical properties of the gem are very special. Certain gems are used to cure by the chemical composition of the gem.
Many gems emit waves, attract certain waves and accumulate energy through waves. Also, gems that emit radioactive waves are found on this planet. Ekanite is an example of a radioactive gem. Especially, Color waves work with the human aura. Also, gemstones colour waves help to stimulate human chakras. Colour waves also help attract certain strengths. These waves are mainly used to attract and absorb the energies associated with the chakras during awakening.
The vibrational energy of the gems also stimulates the body's many circulatory processes and the cells.
Stress reduction can be taken as a virtue of many gems, the main contributing factor for that is the vibrational strength of the gems. It stimulates cells and balances the body's circulatory system. In our practical experience, vibration energy works best with the gem of the silicon oxide family.
Also, different gems have different chemical compositions. Gems are used for various ailments according to the chemical composition.
In future articles, we are going to provide you with practical knowledge on this subject with the knowledge of ancient Spiritual scholars

'The League' Season 6: Michael Sam addressed via a new league member – Zap2It
'The League' Season 6: Michael Sam addressed via a new league member
by Andrea Reiher at 03:07 PM on Jul 21, 2014 Share this:FacebookTwitterTumblrRedditEmail "The League" cast and creators were on hand for a 2014 summer TCA press tour panel with some wonderful bon mots (some true, some not) about the upcoming sixth season on FXX. Here are the highlights from a few promos and the panel discussion:
In a promo, Andre is sporting some duds from "the Criss Angel collection."
"And that was the most I ever threw up. Shampoo is not a food. Smells like coconut, does not taste like coconut." — Taco
"I will not apologize, that's why doors have locks." — Kevin
"PRACTICE?! PRACTICE?!" — Pete, channeling Jim Mora.
"Yes, it's a prequel season. Yes, there are vampires. Yes, there is time-traveling." — Paul Scheer, on Season 6.
"We'd love to have some 'FNL,' some 'Friday Night Lights' crossover.
The characters. I'd love to get Riggins," says Scheer, to which
Katie Aselton chimes in, "So would I. So would I."
"We are going to have Christopher Plummer and Judi Dench." — Mark Duplass
In all seriousness, showrunner Jeff Schaffer does say that this season will address some current NFL issues, like HGH testing, which is "going to hit fairly close to home with Ruxin," and the bullying scandal. He also tells Zap2it that the show will address first gay NFL player Michael Sam. "We are going to address that in a way also," says Schaffer. "There will be another member of the league … the league will get a new member who definitely has some sexual variance. We will touch on that." "The League" returns fall 2014 to FXX.

At the Oregon Wine Symposium held in Portland, Oregon from February 11-12, 2020, Dr. David Montgomery, MacArthur Fellow and University of Washington professor of geomorphology, presented his work researching and writing about farming methods that use less fossil fuel, fertilizer and pesticides than traditional farming. In his books, “Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations” and “Growing a Revolution: Bringing Our Soil Back to Life,” Dr. Montgomery digs into the history of traditional farming methods and how these practices negatively impact the health of vineyard workers, the vigor of the soil and profitability.
Dr. Montgomery advocates that, if we want to feed people in the next century, we need to change agriculture in this century. He cited the United Nation’s 2015 State of the Soil Assessment, which presented a global review of the world’s soils. According to this assessment, each year, the world loses 0.3% of net agricultural production capaci-ty to ongoing soil loss and separation.
“If we play this out for the next hundred years, we are slated to lose about a third of our agricultural production capacity at a global scale. Our population is slated to rise by about a third,” Montgomery said. Furthermore, about a third of the world’s cropland has been degraded to the point where it’s no longer in production.
The History of Soil Erosion
While working on several continents, Dr. Montgomery noticed the connection between the degraded state of soils and the impoverished state of people living in different landscapes. He observed how soil erosion contributed to undermining civilizations around the world, starting with the earliest agricultural civilizations such as Neolithic Europe, Classical Greece, the southern United States Neolithic and more.
In a review of over 1,500 scientific studies, soil erodes at the rate of one inch every twenty years. At this rate, the soil of a large civilization outside major river flood plains depletes in roughly 500 to 1,000 years. Dr. Montgomery described how flood plains like the Tigris and Euphrates bring sediment and silt, tires, school buses and whatever is coming down the river. “These places can maintain balance, as what the plow takes away on average is replenished by flooding. Nature is fixing the damaged of the plow.”
His findings debunk the traditional theory of soil erosion found in environment history textbooks, that deforestation led to erosion, which undermined civilizations. “I found out it was the plow that followed that did it. The villain of this tale is tillage.”
He described soil as akin to a bank account, whereby it is the natural capital that fi-nances civilizations, as it’s used to grow food, wine and everything else people grow from the ground.
According to Dr. Montgomery, the plow leads to soil degradation because, by design, it inverts soil. “It provides incredibly good weed control, which is why it’s often used in organic systems. A plow takes those nasty weeds upside down and makes fertilizer out of them.”
In addition, tillage accelerates the breakdown of the organic matter in the soil by stimu-lating microbial activity. In effect, this draws down the batteries of the soil by degrading its organic matter. Also, tillage leaves the soil vulnerable to erosion until the next crop. If this process goes on for long enough, the soil’s organic matter can deteriorate to the point of impacting the fertility of the land, negatively affecting the health of the crop.
Is Soil Restoration Possible?
“The problem with long-term soil degradation is not that we farm. The problem is the way we’ve been farming. Tillage has been a major destructive element in human histo-ry,” said Dr. Montgomery.
While traditional farming methods account for the loss of a millimeter to a millimeter and a half of soil each year, no-till farming only erodes less than a tenth of a millimeter of soil during the same period.
When Anne Biklé, Dr. Montgomery’s biologist wife, turned their degraded yard into a garden, she added organic matter consisting of compost and mulch. After a decade, their yard went from 1% organic matter to 12% in some places. In their book, “The Hidden Half of Nature,” they attributed this shift to the work done by trillions of micro-organisms that were feeding underground. This zone, called the rhizosphere, is one of the most life dense areas on the planet. Dr. Montgomery described the rhizosphere as “a biological bazaar where microbes and plants trade nutrients, metabolites and exu-dates.” Like any living organism that consumes something, the plants metabolize the organic matter and produce waste products like growth hormones.
Understanding the symbiotic relationships between soil microbiota and plants presents farmers with two very different diets for feeding their plants. The first is the fertilizer diet, where if you give a plant enough fertilizer, even bad soil can produce big yields. How-ever, as Dr. Montgomery assessed, once the plants get all the significant elements they need for growth, they stop investing in their root system. “This means they’re not get-ting as many micronutrients, like zinc and copper, that they need for health, which those microbial partners provide.”
In comparison, growing plants in healthy, fertile soils that have more organic matter to feed those microbes will produce comparable growth. In addition, farmers get the ben-efits of mineral micronutrients and microbial metabolites. Simply put, organic matter produces higher carbon in the soil.
Principles of Conservation Agriculture
To assess if these theories could be implemented on a large scale, Dr. Montgomery visited farms in Equatorial Africa, Central America and all across North America. What he found was a common recipe for rebuilding soils.
First, he said, ditch the plow. Minimal tilling can produce better results, but more car-bon generates when not using a tiller. Second, cover up the soil by maintaining perma-nent ground cover using cover crops and retaining crop residues. Finally, grow diversi-ty. Rotating three to four crops will break up pathogen carryover. In a vineyard, one can achieve this by rotating what’s growing between the vines.
According to Dr. Montgomery, these principles could be scaled up or down, depending on the farm, within two decades. Restoring agricultural soils in this manner can help increase farm profitability, feed the world, help with climate change and prevent envi-ronmental degradation through non-chemical practices.
How Microbes Relate to the Wine World
Discussions about terroir focus on climate and soil; however, Dr. Montgomery sug-gests rethinking terroir in terms of the microbes, which are related to climate, soil and geology. “As we examine the relationship between the soil, the vines and the wines people enjoy, we should think about how the microbial ecology is a big part of that foundation.”
Recent journal articles have begun to cover the landscape of microclimates, including those of a particular vineyard. Microclimates affect the microbes that live in the rhizo-sphere around the roots of grapevines and can carry through to the winemaking pro-cess.
“Microbial abundance and diversity come into play on leaves, roots and fruit, and then carries on into the fermentation process. How you operate your vineyard will determine what you will have in terms of the fungal community,” said Dr. Montgomery. “Hence, understanding the role of microbial ecology is important for rebuilding soil organically, but also in understanding every step of the wine production process.”
Addressing the practicalities of soil management in the vineyard, Dan Rinke, proprietor of Roshambo ArtFarm and Director of Vineyard Operations at Johan Vineyards, said, “If you are continuously tilling and depleting organic matter from the soil, those resultant soils are going to be more prone to compaction. But you can have more resilient soil through no-till systems.”
In Rinke’s estimation, the best way to rotate cover crops is to use a no-till seed drill, which can be rented from some soil and water conservation districts. However, he added that he’d like to see research done in this area to see more comprehensive re-sults using conventional, reduced and no-till means specifically for vineyards.
More research is needed to confirm Dr. Montgomery’s findings and develop and under-stand the implications for vineyards. For biodynamic farmers like Barbara Steele of Cowhorn Vineyard & Garden, carbon farming is not unique. “Carbon cycling in the soil is the basis of successful dirt farming,” she said.
Biodynamic practices include building a fresh compost pile every year and growing plants whose sole purpose is to create carbon. “By increasing organic matter in the soil, we slowly increase the cation exchange capacity or CEC (the measure of the soil’s ability to hold positively charged ions), and thus the carbon cycling in the soil,” said Steele.

Conformity And Obedience - Part 2
This Essay will discuss the factors influencing the behaviour of Mark, in relation to conformity and obedience - Conformity And Obedience introduction. Should he comply and obey with his officer's strict instructions to work alone, or will he stop to help a fellow trainee. Mark is a soldier on training in the Brecon Beacons, he is under order to work alone and not to stop to help anyone. Mark is working well and is on track with about 5 other soldiers who he already knows.
Whilst running through the country, Mark hears a colleague (whom he has not met before) shouting for help. Conformity is a type of social influence involving a change in behaviour, attitude or belief in order to fit in, these changes are in response to either real or imagined group pressure, such as the fear of rejection from a group, lack of information, belief that others are right or not wanting to upset others within the group, this occurs in situations, whereby individuals or small groups are exposed to a majority view.

Obedience is not a social influence or response to group pressure, but a following of instruction usually by someone we see as higher authoritative status than ourselves, obedience is deeply implemented from an early age, when we are taught to obey parents, teachers and elders ( Pennington and Mcloughlin, 2008)
Through looking at studies and experiments of conformity and obedience it is plausible to suggest that in this case Mark will obey the orders of his officer and not stop to help the trainee. Mark will adapt to the expectations of his role, and continue without stopping this is known as identification Kelman(1958). There is no need for Mark to agree as he is simply playing to his role.
Another influential factor on Marks decision will be, he is alongside a small group of friends in which he will not want to be seen to go against the group, for fear of rejection or ridicule and will also wish to gain the approval of his commanding officer, this is Normative conformity in which we are driven by the need or desire to gain approval and acceptance, Man (1969) as demonstrated in Solomon Asch's conformity experiment, Mark may publicly accept but privately disagree with the decision to continue. (Mcleod, 2007)
In Asch's experiment, students were told that they were participating in a 'vision test. Lines were presented onto a screen and the students were asked to answer which line out of three possibilities matched the target line. The students were unaware that the rest of the group in the experiment were fake (confederates) and had been asked prior to the experiment to give wrong answers and agreed on which answers to give. At first the confederates answered the questions correctly, but eventually began to give wrong answers, when the pre-planned incorrect answers were given over 70% of participants conformed to the group's majority false views at least once (Heroic Imagination Project, 2013).
During the debrief at the end of the test, students were asked why they had given a wrong answer, when the correct answer was clear, the majority of students stated that although they knew the answers were in fact wrong they did not want to risk ridicule from the rest of the group, whist others actually thought there answers were correct. This evidence supports that Mark will conform as he will want to be accepted and not upset his fellow colleagues and also avoid rejection ( Pennington and Mcloughlin, 2008).
Asch's experiment may be criticised as the individuals may have been more inclined to give wrong answers to avoid conflict rather than fit in. Another criticism of the experiment is that it was conducted in a laboratory and did not replicate a real life situation; however, some expert opinions support these results stating that although real life situations may not be as clear cut as the laboratory environment, real life social pressure is far greater, resulting in increased conformity (Cherry, 2013).
This can be supported by the social impact theory which predicts that conformity will increase in the presence of three influential factors, first being strength, the strength of the person giving the order, as the order came from his officer, Marks view will be as he is more experienced he is also more knowledgeable, numbers, refers to the number of social forces present, as there are only around 5 other trainees at the same pace as Mark, conformity will be higher making him more likely to conform to the behaviour of his colleagues, immediacy refers to the closeness of the other soldiers as Mark works with them regular he will view them as close friends and therefore conform to the majority to keep harmony within the group. (University, 2012)
As Mark is a trainee he will be unclear of how to react in this situation, he may question if this is actually a test and be confused on what he should do, he will look to see how his fellow trainees react and follow, by doing this Mark will show informational conformity, as studied in an autokinetic effect experiment by Muzafer Sheriff (1963). Sheriff conducted a visual illusion experiment to demonstrate the level of conformity when a person is put in an ambiguous situation, when tested on an individual basis, participants answers varied considerably. Sheriff then placed the participants in groups of three (two of the participants had previously given similar estimates, this differed significantly to the remaining participant) each person had to state there answer aloud to the group, over several trials the results showed that the person who's estimate differed conformed to the group majority (Mcleod, 2007).
Mark will also want to display obedience, as these orders came directly from an officer of higher authority than himself. He will continue and not stop; this can be supported by looking at Milgrams agent theory, Milgram believes we operate on two levels, as autonomous individuals we are conscious and aware of our behaviour and the consequences of our actions. Secondly as agentic individuals, were by we see ourselves as "puppets" of others and no longer responsible for our actions. Generally we see ourselves as autonomous individuals, however in some circumstances we shift to agentic level, we are then only responsible to the person giving orders and our responsibilities to others disappears.
This theory supports the suggestion of Mark to continue, he will detach himself from the injured trainee as he believes he is not responsible for his own actions. Milgram believes this shift takes place due to us being conditioned from an early age to obey orders without question, once in an agentic state there are two binding factors which keep us there as demonstrated on Milgrams experiment; these factors are fear of being rude or disrespectful and the fear of increasing anxiety by disobeying. (waring, 2006) In the 1960's Milgram designed an experiment to test obedience to authority, he wanted to know if the Germans had a particular personality which made them carry out the brutal acts in world war two, or could an "ordinary person" also behave the same.
Participants were asked to administer shocks each time a subject gave a wrong answer, the shocks ranged from 15 volts (mild shock) to 450 volts (danger severe shock), whilst administering shocks participants were continually prompted by an authoritive figure in a white laboratory coat. The participants could not see the subjects but could hear the effects of the apparent shocks, in which the subjects acted accordingly, throughout this experiment no real shocks were ever given. During the experiment many participants showed signs of tension, three participants actually had seizures and although most felt uncomfortable a huge 65% of participants administered shocks to the full 450 voltage, and every participant admitted to administering shocks above the level that they personally felt was ethical. (Heroic Imagination Project, 2013)
This experiment raised several ethical issues; no measures were taken to protect participants from physical or psychological harm, The right to withdraw was not made clear as participants were continually prompted to continue with phrases such as "you have no choice you must go on". Deception was used as the participants believed the shocks were real, Other criticisms of Milgrams experiment are that all the participants were men and the experiment was set in an important setting (Yale university) thus not replicating real life situations also all of the participants were paid in advance of the experiment giving them an imagined obligation to carry on, all the participants were self-selected as they had replied to a newspaper ad, some may argue this is a particular type of personality. (Volunteer personality)
Milgram strongly defended these criticisms, stating the results were unexpected as in a survey carried out prior to the experiment, asking the opinion of professionals, most believed the participant would stop when the learner protested, Milgrams main defence centres around the debrief, during which all participants were reassured about their behaviour and given reports of the findings on the experiment. They were assured no shocks were ever given, in a questionnaire filled in by 92% of participants only 2% regretted taking part, a massive 84% were happy to have taken part and 74% said they had learnt a lesson of self-importance. One year after the experiment all the participants were interviewed by a psychiatrist who confirmed none of them had suffered any long term harm.
It is this study that largely contributed to the introduction of the ethical guidelines and codes of conduct and significantly contributed to the psychological understanding of obedience, demonstrating, how easily human beings can hurt each other even against their own morals and judgments and with no motivation of personal gain or even malice towards the other person, when in the presence of an authority figure (Bradley, 2002). Milgrams experiment has been replicated around the world with very similar findings of high obedience to authority figures, apart from Australia were the obedience levels fell to 16% however this was a woman giving a shock to other women. Zimbardos, Stanford prison experiment is a perfect example of how situational factors effect a person, Mark has been assigned the role of a soldier and will obey to the expectations of that role, as did the students given the role or prisoners in Zimbardos experiment, they immediately became submissive and obedient towards the guards.
Five prisoners actually began to experience severe negative thoughts and emotions and had to be released from the experiment and when questioned could not believe their own levels of obedience towards the guards (Cherry, K, 2013) Taking in to account these results and the effects of social influence and situational factors on a person's behaviour, it is the conclusion that Mark will definitely continue his training and not stop. As an individual being given orders by someone he sees as a legitimate source of authority figure such as his officer, obedience to the system will be high, this is known as legitimacy of the system ( Pennington and Mcloughlin, 2008).
Mark will show bedience to his officer, and conform to what his fellow soldiers are doing; he will also adapt to his role and therefore detach himself from the responsibility of the injured soldier and carry out his training as instructed. It would not be possible for these experiments to be conducted today, due to not meeting the requirements of BPS ethical guidelines, which sets out the code of ethics researchers must follow when conducting experiments. All of the studies mentioned in this essay breach at least two of these ethical issues, The most prominent and criticized being, informed consent and deception, however had these guidelines been in place it would not have been possible to achieve such informative findings on human behavior.
