Logistic regression problem | Statistics Help @ Talk Stats Forum
Logistic regression problem
I'm experiencing difficulties with understanding my results despite active googling, and i'd be really grateful, if someone could help me.
I have a data set of around 1000 cases. The outcome i'm interested in (yes, no) occurs in around 35 %. In order to identify independent predictors for this outcome, i tried to construct a logistic regression analysis. In the logistic regression model, a dichotomous variable had a negative B coefficient value against my expectations (in crosstabulation, the variable seemed to be significantly associated with outcome occurring, p <0.001). The variable's CI for the OR was below 1 and p<0.001. Also, the SE was 0.2. After doing some reading, i assumed the problem of the wrong sign would be related to correlation between that another independent variable, so i began eliminating them in different combinations with no effect on the sign of the B coefficient. Moreover, no significant correlation between the variables seemed to exist (VIF 2 at most). In the end,i tried a model that included only that one variable, and still the negative b coefficient persisted. I also ran a linear regression (same y and x) but this yielded a positive b coefficient.
I'm really having trouble figuring this out and would very much appreciate any help!
Please don't double post (http://www.talkstats.com/showthread.php/22910-Logistic-regression-problem).
The members here are pretty active and will try to get to your question.
If cross tabulation shows that the relation is supposed to be positive and you are not including any covariates, I might look at whether the logistic regression model is modelling the occurance correctly. It may be modelling the probability that the outcome = 0. This happens in SAS and you have to specify "descending" in order for the model to show results for P(Y=1).
sorry! i realized this is probably a better location, i'll remove the other one
Thanks for your reply! I'm using SPSS and I went through all the options I could find but nothing there seemed to be nothing like this. Also, all in all the original mode made sense and the problem only concerned this one variable.
How is your goodness of fit test coming out? It'd be good to see that the hypothesis is not being rejected. And when you ran a linear regression then did you do it y on that single x or did you use all the IVs used in logistic regression.

A bankrupt archdiocese?
ACED WITH claims that could exceed $100 million, the Archdiocese of Boston may seek safety in Chapter 11 of the US Bankruptcy Code. While this process plays out, it is important to remember that hundreds of alleged victims of clergy sexual abuse had nowhere to turn for shelter in a powerful church that demanded their faithfulness - and their silence.
The bankruptcy option rankles. With its credibility battered, the archdiocese is burdened with proving this is not another delaying tactic or negotiating ploy. In Dallas, archdiocese officials faced with similar allegations used a similar appeal to pare down costly settlements. In Boston, however, with real estate holdings in excess of $1.3 billion, insolvency is a harder sell. It is understandably difficult for the public to differentiate a sincere desire to protect funds for the good works of the church from a wily gambit. How could it be otherwise in an institution where church higher-ups shuttled predatory priests from parish to parish. Or where Cardinal Bernard Law endorsed a settlement of between $15 million and $30 million for the victims of former priest John J. Geoghan and then reneged on the deal a few months later - after it became clear he could not avoid a deposition in a different case. Law and his advisers may genuinely believe that bankruptcy court is the most expeditious route to a fair settlement for the roughly 450 people who have pressed sexual abuse claims against the archdiocese this year alone. Filing for bankruptcy would impose a deadline, and archdiocese officials would be free to deal with the hundreds of alleged victims as one class. It's efficient.
The clergy sexual abuse scandal, however, does not cry out for easy resolution. It calls out for justice. The focus belongs on the victims, and while some might benefit from bankruptcy proceedings, other would likely feel brushed aside yet again. The best insights into the victimization process would be revealed in civil court proceedings for all to see. Bankruptcy eliminates the possibility of such trials and draws a shade, once again, on a culture of denial, abuse, and complicity.
Chapter 11 can make sense for a business. But the Boston Archdiocese should stand for a higher cause than profit. A bankruptcy filing by the Boston Archdiocese would put it in the company of WorldCom and other failed corporations where values and principles meant nothing. Law has said he wants to remain as cardinal in order to help close the wounds inflicted during his tenure. But he can only do more harm by pushing the clergy sexual abuse scandal into the bloodless domain of bankruptcy court. This story ran on page A20 of the Boston Globe on 12/3/2002.

WASHINGTON - Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong and Mrs Lee celebrated an early National Day with more than 500 Singaporeans at the Singapore embassy in Washington, DC on Sunday (July 31) evening (Monday morning Singapore time).
Speaking to the crowd at the start of the evening, Mr Lee said: "We have much to celebrate because we have spent 50 years together and are now embarking on the next 50 years, the second half century of our nation building journey."
The Prime Minister is in the United States for an official visit and will be hosted to a state dinner by US President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday (Wednesday morning Singapore time).
Also at the National Day celebration were Members of Parliament and Cabinet ministers including Minister for Foreign Affairs Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Trade and Industry (Industry) S Iswaran, Minister at the Prime Minister's Office Chan Chun Sing and Acting Minister for Education (Higher Education and Skills) Ong Ye Kung.
While National Day songs played in the background, many tucked into Singaporean favourites such as chicken rice, satay and mee siam. For those with a sweet tooth, there was also Milo and local kueh.
Said Mrs Salwa Salim-Perry, 32, a Singaporean business owner who had just moved to the US two months ago: "It feels so good to be here, to hear people speaking Singlish around me. I feel like I'm connected to home again."

Psalm 34, Taste And See The Lord's Goodness
Where do you find solace in a time of crisis? How do you respond to pain, confusion, or cruelty on the part of others? David, who by no means had all the solutions for all of life's problems, gave us a critical example of how believers can find serenity in suffering: by taking the hurt to the Lord in praiseful trust. Psalm 34 was composed at a time when David had fled from his home. He had been to several locations across Israel, but somehow word always got back to King Saul. The king wanted David dead, and this intention was understand by Saul's chief officers, and counsel. David knew it too, and decided to try and find shelter with the Philistines, of all people.
David's world seemed to be crumbling all around him. He lost his position as an officer in Israel's army, as well as being a personal attendant to King Saul, particularly through his gift of musicianship, which brought comfort to King Saul at times. David lost the ability to be with his wife Michal, Saul's daughter. David lost the opportunity to be with, or near, his family. David lost his best friend, Jonathon, who was King Saul's son. And David lost a potential source of constant comfort, and counsel, in Samuel, the priest and judge. All of these people were in Israel, where David was not safe, and neither were these cherished ones as long as David was beside them. And yet when David was distraught and heartbroken he penned a beautiful song of praise in Psalm 34.
One of the truly stirring lines from Psalm 34 is when David declared that mankind can taste and see that the Lord is good (Psalm 34:8). Perhaps this seems, or sounds, like an odd phrase. But maybe David was trying to convey that the Lord is real, and can be experienced. We can enjoy fellowship with God. In other words, the Lord is not imaginary, or theoretical. He is just as accessible as a loaf of bread. God is not distant. He is not folklore, or fake. He is the King eternal – the immortal Almighty. And He is the God that seeks a relationship with us – a relationship that can nourish and sustain our soul. So let us taste and see that the Lord is forever good.

the latter. Long-term trade credits could be an important factor as well as borrowing to meet the Foreign Direct Investment Program requirements from foreign financial institutions other than banks.
Finally, it may be noted that the extremely small amount of foreign holdings of "domestic" (as distinguished from "Euro") bonds of U.S. corporations may result in part from reporting deficiencies. There was no practical way to obtain information on foreign-held U.S. bearer bonds-private and Government–if the bonds were physically held abroad. Only if the bonds were held in custody accounts with domestic reporting institutions such as banks and brokerage firms could information regarding foreign holders be obtained.
Manner in which Securities are Held
Distribution by Type of Debt
The distribution of private foreign investment in U.S. debt instruments by type of debt and by industry is shown in Appendix Table A-10. Official holdings of U.S. debt are excluded from this table; as shown elsewhere (Table 6), the overwhelming proportion of such holdings consisted of U.S. Government issues.7
Of the private holdings, about half of the total consisted of marketable bonds, mainly the off-shore Eurobonds. About two-thirds of the total of $8 billion of bonds consisted of such issues. In addition, loans from foreign banks amounted to $4.9 billion; to an unknown extent these also reflected borrowing to finance direct investments abroad in excess of the quotas allowed by the foreign direct investment controls.
The remaining $3.1 billion included $600 million of long-term certificates of deposit, representing funds placed with banks and other financial institutions. The remainder represented miscellaneous borrowing abroad by U.S. residents. Since only the nature and not the purpose of the credit was reported, one can only speculate on
Of the total of $23.7 billion of private foreign holdings of U.S. stocks, 8 about $7.4 billion was directly registered under a foreign address and about $16.3 billion was held in custody or nominee accounts with U.S. banks, brokers, or other persons acting as custodians or nominees for foreign owners (see Appendix Table A-6). Foreign persons, whether holding these securities directly or through U.S. custodians or nominees, in turn frequently were also acting in a nominee capacity. Thus there could be two or even more nominees between the issuing corporation and the ultimate owner.
Even more so than U.S. investors, foreigners tend to leave their securities with banks and brokers for convenience in safeguarding their securities, collecting divi. dends and interest, and executing buy and sell orders.
Table 6.-Foreign Portfolio Investment in Long-Term Debt Obligations by Major Industry and Type of Holder
Private holders
Other foreign holders
7 of total U.S. debt obligations of $26.4 billion held by foreign official holders, $24.9 billion consisted of U.S. Government obligations and $0.7 billion of long-term time deposits in U.S. banks.
* Because of the special procedures for estimating holdings of Eurobonds, and the fact that most official holdings of U.S. Government
debt are at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the distinction between direct and nominee holdings of debt is not a significant one. Moreover, non-marketable debt, by its na re, is virtually always reported by the debtor organization itself.
This wide-spread use of nominees is not a recent development. In the earlier benchmark survey for 1941, two-thirds of all foreign-owned stocks were held through U.S. custodians or nominees. The ratio was virtually unchanged in 1974.
According to information published regularly in the Treasury Bulletin, foreign official institutions held $76.8 billion of U.S. assets at the end of 1974. The survey reported $27.4 billion of "portfolio" securities held by "official" institutions (see Tables 2 and 5). The principal differences between the two figures are reconciled in the following tabulation (in millions of dollars):
Official assets of foreign countries as
shown in the Treasury Bulletin $76,808
The most notable shift occurred in the percentage decline of the Latin American Republics and other Western Hemisphere countries, and the rise of Asian investors as holders of U.S. portfolio assets. In Asia, the disproportionate growth in holdings of U.S. securities resulted from the emergence of Middle East oil exporting countries as international investors, and the rise of Japan as an economic power.
From the earliest days of the nation up to World War I, foreign portfolio holdings were channeled primarily into railroad stocks and bonds, and issues by some of the states. That war caused major investing countries to liquidate most of their U.S. portfolio holdings to help pay for war costs. Subsequent to World War I, foreign portfolio investment activity turned toward investment in U.S. manufacturing and service industries. While in 1919 railroad securities still accounted for about threequarters of foreign portfolio holdings of U.S. securities, by 1929 this proportion had declined to less than 1 percent of the total.
From the late twenties to the present, manufacturing industries have been in the foreground of attention of foreign investors, and by 1949 they accounted for more foreign investment than all other U.S. industries combined. No information on the industrial distribution of foreign portfolio investment in the United States was obtained in the 1941 benchmark survey. Data from the current benchmark study show that stocks of manufacturing firms held by foreign investors amounted to 60 percent of all U.S. stocks held abroad, or about $14.8 billion out of $24.7 billion.
Total reported in survey
27,371 The remaining difference is probably due in part to the more complete coverage in the survey of foreign official holdings of marketable U.S. Treasury bonds and notes, as compared with the Treasury Bulletin data. The Bulletin data on foreign holdings of these assets are calculated by applying monthly transactions reports to a 1971 Treasury survey of amounts held for foreigners by banks and brokers reporting on the Treasury Foreign Exchange forms, which was less complete than the new survey. A part of the remainder may also arise from definition and valuation differences.
Comparison with Prior Data
While the value of foreign portfolio investments in the United States grew substantially in the 33-year interval since the 1941 benchmark survey, as shown in Table 7 and Appendix Tables A-19 and A-20, there was little change in the relative geographical distribution of holders. European and Canadian holdings continued to predominate, accounting jointly for 80 to 90 percent of the total foreign investment in both benchmark years.

42.4 Note: Data for the years 1914-1934 are taken from America's Stake in International Investment, by Cleona Lewis, Brookings Institution; data for 1941 are taken from Census of Foreign-Owned Assets in the United States, U.S. Treasury Department, Government Printing Office, 1945; data for 1949-1974 (old) are taken from various issues of the Survey of Current Business, Department of Commerce; data for 1974 (new) are the result of the new Treasury benchmark Survey of Foreign Portfolio Investments.
In the early part of the century, two-thirds to threequarters of private foreign portfolio investments in the United States were in U.S. bonds. But, beginning with the stock market boom of the 1920's, foreign holdings of bonds declined and holdings of stocks increased so that by 1929 less than 20 percent of foreign portfolio holdings in the United States were in bonds. There was little change in this relationship until the mid-sixties when, in response to deficits in the U.S. balance of payments and to U.S. capital control programs, private U.S. borrowers placed more debt issues abroad. Many of the private issues placed abroad in that period were in the form of debentures convertible into common stocks, but until the end of 1974, at least, the amount of conversions had been relatively small.
utilities (nearly 7.5 percent), foreign holdings were only 2.8 percent of the total stock outstanding, while foreign holdings in the much lower yielding manufacturing and mining industries were 4.4 and 5.4 percent, respectively. This would support the view expressed by the respondents in the survey of the securities industry (see chapter 3) that foreign investors in general are more interested in growth and appreciation considerations than in yields.
The yield (rate of interest divided by market value) on all debt was 7.2 percent and on privately held debt it was 8.3 percent. There are no domestic series with which these figures can be directly compared, particularly the holdings of non-marketable debt. But the data are reasonably in line with yields prevailing in U.S. financial markets at the end of 1974.
As in the case of dividends, there was no significant divergence by geographic area; observed differences between areas were related to the differences in the type of debt held by investors in the area. Thus, for example, the high yield of 10.4 percent observed for Latin America is due to the heavy proportionate holdings by Latin American investors of high yielding certificates of deposit (36 percent of Latin American holdings of U.S. debt); overall, foreign holdings of these certificates comprised only 3.7 percent of total debt holdings.
An examination of yields by major industry shows a spread from 6.3 percent to 10.1 percent. The low of 6.3 percent, however, was applicable to Government securities, which tend to have lower yields than private issues. Government securities aside, the yields by industry fall in the 8-10 percent range. Considering the differences in the holdings of various types of debt for various industries, and the variations in rates of return, the spread does not indicate significant industry preferences among foreign investors in debt issues.
Dividend and Interest Payments The survey questionnaire required reporters to provide information on dividend and interest rates on their stock and debt issues outstanding. Information was also obtained on interest rates on Government securities, and on other payments of income to owners or creditors of non-corporate business firms. Application of these payments to the shares and long-term debt held by foreign owners as of December 31, 1974, gives an annualized income to foreign portfolio investors of $4,196 million ($1,154 million for dividends and $3,042 million for interest).
Heretofore, estimates of investment income payments in the balance of payments have been based on an assumed yield applied to estimated foreign portfolio investment. For the year 1974 these income payments (on comparably defined investments) were estimated at $3,779, about 10 percent less than the survey totals.
Income payments derived from the survey indicated an overall yield of nearly 6.3 percent, about 4.7 percent on foreign holdings of stocks and 7.2 percent on foreign holdings of long-term debt. By comparison, current balance of payments yields on total foreign portfolio investments equalled about 6.7 percent. Thus the higher income amo its shown in the Treasury survey are not based on notably different yields applied to foreignowned assets, but rather on the higher amount of foreign investment established in the survey.
Detailed data on dividends and interest are shown in Tables 8, 9, and 10 and Appendix Tables A-17 and A-18. The overall yield on foreign investment in U.S. stocks, 4.7 percent, was virtually the same as that calculated by Moody's Investors Service for all dividends but less than the 5.5 percent on the 500 common stocks in the Standard and Poor's index. This yield showed no significant variation by area, thus indicating that the composition of foreign portfolios probably also does not vary much from area to area.
However, an analysis of dividend yields by industry was more revealing. In the industry with the highest average dividend yield, transportation and public

particularly in U.S. stocks. Net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks totaled $4.5 billion in 1975, and $1.5 billion in the first quarter of 1976.
The value of foreign holdings of U.S. stocks was also substantially increased by the sharp recovery in U.S. stock prices in 1975 and early 1976. The addition to the value of these holdings on account of price increases is estimated at $8.1 billion for 1975, and $5.2 billion in the first quarter of 1976, which, along with the net inflows of $4.5 billion and $1.5 billion during those periods, raised the total of foreign investment in U.S. stocks to about $37 billion by the end of 1975, and $43.9 billion by March of 1976. (See Table 11.) The latter figure was 78 percent above end-1974 holdings.
The increasing interest of the Middle East oil producing countries in U.S. equities is evident in these figures: those countries accounted for a third of the total inflow in 1975-1976. Practically all of the remainder was accounted for by the same countries which have been the major purchasers of U.S. equities in the past_Canada and a few European countries.
The total of $4.5 billion of net foreign purchases of stocks for 1975 was a record annual high, but it was probably affected by the unusually small inflow in 1974 when market prices were declining and net foreign purchases of U.S. stocks were only $0.5 billion. Taking 1974 and 1975 together, the total inflow was no greater than the total for 1972 and 1973.
It should be noted, however, that purchases by European residents in 1974-1975 were considerably less than in 1972-1973. While the oil producing countries are obviously an important new element in foreign demand for U.S. stocks, it remains to be seen whether purchases by these countries will continue to match the amounts of 1975 and early 1976, part of which probably represented one-time shifts from short-term to long-term investments in the United States.
The relative lack of foreign interest in U.S. corporate bonds continued to be evident in 1975 and early 1976. Middle East oil producing countries purchased $1.7

billion of these instruments in 1975 and the first quarter of 1976, but, as in the case of their purchases of U.S. stocks, this may have been mostly a one-time shift in order to balance the U.S. portfolios of these countries with more long-term assets. International institutions redeemed or sold $1 billion of U.S. corporate bonds (the term includes U.S. agency issues) in 1975 and the net purchases of all other countries were about $0.1 billion. At the end of 1975 foreign holdings of these bonds were $11.1 billion, and at the end of March, 1976 they were $11.5 billion.
As noted elsewhere in this report, foreign interest in U.S. corporate bonds has not been significant during the past 60 years, except during the mid-sixties and early seventies when U.S. Government balance-of-payments programs caused U.S. companies actively to sell Eurobonds to foreigners at attractive interest rates or with special convertibility features. With the ending of these programs in early 1974, U.S. corporate bonds appear to be returning to their previous position of relative unimportance in the U.S. portfolio of foreigners.
The continued dominance of U.S. stocks in this portfolio is clearly seen in the estimates of the total amounts outstanding for foreign portfolio investment in

It said that "T onya" was Latin for "priceless," and that a T onya was "a liberated spirit" who "has never settled down to anyone thing. . . is attractive, lively, and taste- ful . . . sets high expectations and fulfills them" Down below, kids were whizzing around showing off, or inching along the edge of the ice, clinging to each other in wobbly packs. A lot of the girls looked like T onya, with long multilevel blond hair and a puff of bangs, eyes rimmed in black liner, and stocky bod- ies in inexpensive-looking clothes. In the center of the ice, a few skinny girls in Lycra skating dresses were practicing spins. Until recently, Tonya sometimes practiced during open-skate hour, pick- ing her way through the crowd. Now she skates only very late at night, but for a long time she usually practiced in the mornings, when the ice was empty but the bleachers were filled with people eat- ing tacos and gyros and Dilly Deli sand- wiches and looking on. Around here, kids go to the movies, or they drive up and down Eighty- second Avenue, or they hang out at the mall. If they work at it, they can get into trouble. A juvenile-court counsellor named Steve Houseworth told me that in the last two years kids in the county, like kids in counties all over the coun- try, have become increasingly hedonis- tic, defiant, and angry, aJ.1d that juvenile arrests have boomed. "Our big prob- lem is with anti-social preplanned devi- ant behavior," he said. 'We've got an explosion of anger, intimidation, and aggression issues. I think we'll see more of it, too, because the county is grow- ing real hard and real fast." The county, he went on, is trying out a privately run anger-management program called Temper Talk, which offers counselling to juveniles charged with Assault 3 or Assault 4-causing harm to a person with- out intent or with intent, respectively. The program director for Temper Talk, Derek Bliss, told me, "Kids here are 100k1ng for power and they want control. They're angry about dominance. They want to show the image and repu- tation of dominance" I asked him whether he recognized the likes of Shawn and Jeff and of Shane Stant, the twenty-two-year-old man who had been paId to attack Nancy Kerrigan. "Definitely," he said. "These are the THE NEW YORKER, FEBRUARY 21, 1994 lund of guys who lose their temper but don't know how to use their temper. Shane, the one who confessed to actu- ally doing the assault-he's a very big boy. He's not behind physically for his age group, but he's clearly behind empathetically. I'd bet there was a humongous amount of inconsiderate be- havior in their lives before this assault." On Saturday night, I talked with two young guys, D.J. Dollar Bill and D.J. Fast Eddie, who were standing on a platform beside the skate-rental booth, playing tapes over the loudspeakers and calling out for the kids to reverse direc- tions, and then to speed up, and then to get ready to line up for games. Dollar Bill said he was a delivery driver for an auto-supply company. Fast Eddie said he worked in the produce section of a grocery store. Fast Eddie also said he could not comment on T onya. 'What 1'm about is right here," he said, mo- tioning to the ice, "and here is fun." He put on a Snoop Doggy Dogg song and then said, 'We're going to play some great games later .

The pastor of the church, Eugene Saunders, hadn't been seen in three weeks-that is, since shortly after the night that he was doing home- work with Shawn Eckardt, the heavyset baby-faced bodyguard and self-described foreign-espionage operative, who was a classmate of Gene's in a legal-assistant training program at Pioneer Pacific Col- lege. That night, Shawn had bragged to Gene that he was involved in setting up an attack on a figure skater, and played a garbled tape of a planning ses- sion for him. It was that conversatlon- which Gene repeated first to a Pioneer Pacific teacher, a private investigator (who repeated it to the Portland Oregonian), and then to the authorities-that broke the case open.

Le- gally, I have a right to express a wish." WR.ITING, FILMING, SMOKING C HAIN-SMOKING and making a movie with the notoriously temperamental actor William Hurt are two things that a lot of people would have qualms about these days, but one afternoon not long ago the novelist Paul Auster was doing both with aplomb as the filming of "Smoke," for which he wrote the script, was about to get under way in Brooklyn. Harvey Keitel is also one of the film's stars, Wayne Wang is the director, and Mr. Auster has discovered himself to be a rare creature--a screenwriter who has nothing to complain about. The director's respect? He has it. Casting? He had input. Script changes? He has control. William Hurt? "What an extraordinary actor-we're very lucky to have him," Mr. Auster said. "But I can't talk about working with him. That would be like walking in on someone's physical checkup." While Mr. Hurt and Mr. Wang were in session on a closed set at Em- pire Stages of New York, in Long Island City, Mr. Auster was in his neighbor- hood, Park Slope, standIng on the cor- ner of Prospect Park West and Six- teenth Street, in front of what looked to be a cigar store. Mr. Auster, who is forty-seven and sheikh-ishly handsome, was wearing khakis and a leather jacket and was smoking a small Dutch cigar as he eXplained that a cigar store plays an important role in the :film; that "Smoke" , s producers had rented the former post office on the corner and temporarily transformed it; and that shooting was scheduled to begin the next day. As production people did some last- minute touch-ups with paint, Mr. Auster saId he was delighted with the way things had turned out-with the authentic-seeming turn-o[-the-century cornice fashtoned from plastic foam that had been attached to the building, and with the "Beech-Nut Chewing Tobacco" and "Te-Amo Cigars" signs hanging in the windows of the store. "Set design has a spiritual component to it," he said. "Set designers are trying to re-create the world closely, and you can do that only if you're looking carefully. That kInd of looking is good for the soul." The soul is by no means unfamiliar territory for Mr. Auster. Detective nov- els he has written have been charac- terized as Kafka goes gumshoe. His fascination with loneliness is Beck- ettian. And the literary puzzles he devises for his read- ers tend to leave you asking all sorts of meta-metaphysical questions. You'd think a guy like that- who also happens to be a translator of Mallarmé and Sartre, the editor of ''The Random House Book ofT wentieth- Century French Poetry," and the author '..,.. "---::: ." , --- of a novel titled "Mr. Vemgo," due out in August-would be lofty, grim, and not really into chatting and basking in the sun. But he sat down on a bench near the cigar store and leaned back comforta ly, somehow radiating both a bookish chic and the cheerful air of a guy who has perfected the art of hang- ing out. He said that the movie is the first comedy he's ever written; that it deals with the relationship of a white writer, a black teen-age boy, and the man- ager of the cigar store; and that it is about the kind of "pseudo families" that people who are not related to one an- other form. "Smoke" is based on a story Mr. Auster wrote that appeared on the Op- Ed page of the Times-a commissioned story about Christmas, published on Decem- ber 25, 1990. Mr. Auster described the story as "an odd little work about steal- ing and giving, lying and telling the truth. Stealing turns out to be giving, and lying turns out to be the truth." The movie, he said, also deals with one of his favorite themes, storytelling-- and, in particular, storytelling as an em- blem of N ew York life. "The people in this city are dazzling talkers," he said. "A couple of months ago, my barber wanted to say something deprecatory about a singer, and came up with 'He's the guy who sings the national anthem at the cockfights.' " Mr. Auster gave a big belly laugh. "I could live on this planet for a thousand years and never think of that line," he said. And then he lit another cigar, his third in an hour. .

I am much closer to the Latin-American experience in fiction. Like García Márquez. Even Ernest Hemingway. He was always writing about life." Aswanyoften men- tioned Dostoyevsky as his favorite writer. "A novel is the life of the people," he told me. "Similar to our daily life but more profound, more significant, and more beautiful. Accordingly, politics is very important." He went on, "The influence of the dictatorship-I always tried to un- derstand and explain that. Because I am absolutely against the schools of fiction that write away from life." "The Yacoubian Building" was first published by Mohamed Hashem, the owner ofDar Merit, which is known for taking on daring projects. Sitting amid piles of books in his dusty office just off T ahrir Square, Hashem told me, "Be- fore, writers would write all around the subject to try and attack the regime. 'The Yacoubian Building' said, 'The President is a thief.' " Hashem, with his flyaway hair, corduroy trousers, and raspy smok- er's voice, is the very model of a leftist in- tellectual, and has long been used to harassment from the authorities. "It was normal to be arrested every couple of years-they would drag you into prison for a night or two," he told me, smiling. 42 THE NEW YORKER, JANUARY 16, 2012 . "The novel talked about the torture in police stations, the forging of elections, the bribes and corruption and agents. People felt it was something they could believe for the first time." In "The Yacoubian Building," a cor- rupt businessman appeals to a parliamen- tary grandee, based on a notorious figure of the Mubarak era, for support in his bid to be the ruling party's candidate for a plum constituency. In the grandee's reply, Aswany distills the high-handed- ness and cynicism of an entire regime: "People are naive when they get the idea that we fix elections. Nothing of the kind. It just comes down to the fact that we've studied the Egyptian people well. Our Lord created the Egyptians to accept government authority. N a Egyptian can go against his government. Some peoples are excitable and rebellious by nature, but the Egyptian keeps his head down his whole life long so he can eat. It says so in the history books. The Egyptians are the easi- est people in the world to rule. The moment you take power, they submit to you and grovel to you and you can do what you want with them." It's still possible to visit the Yacoubian Building, an elegant Art Deco structure, at the address Aswany gives in the book His dental practice was there until the mid-nineties, in office space he took over from his father. But not much remains of the cosmopolitan Downtown that his fa- ther inhabited and that Aswany glimpsed in its decline. Aswany blames the decline on the materialism of an élite that has flourished under dictatorship. "Sadat gave rise to a terrible class, a class with money without culture," he said. Most of the apartments have been let as offices or youth hostels; Aswanys office is now in a grand leafy neighborhood of embassies and dilapidated mansions close to T ahrir Square and the Nile. In the Yacoubian Building, I found just a few holdouts from the earlier era-an old Greek cou- ple, who had, as they put it, been "na- tionalized" under Nasser, watching the economic riots in Athens on a Greek TV channel, and a Lebanese man, who had lived there for fifty years and complained that Aswany had defamed the residents with his tales of nefarious scheming and homosexuality. Once "The Yacoubian Building" had made Aswany famous, the regime tried variously to coöpt, ignore, and threaten him: he was offered awards and places on Egyptian delegations to international book fairs, all of which he refused; he was not invited to the première of the movie of "The Yacoubian Building"; and the owner of the café where he used to hold his weekly salon was pressured by state security into turning him away. Aswany assumed that his phone was monitored. Several times, he suspected that beautifW women were sent his way as enticements that would lead to blackmail attempts. He believes that his international profile kept him safe. Others who wrote against Mubarak's regime were arrested or im- prisoned for defamation. One prominent journalist was beaten and dumped in the desert. W ith his first taste of success, As- wany reduced his commitments as a dentist and redoubled his literary efforts, working simultaneously on his second novel and on various essays and short stories. In a sense, his political es- says are an extension of his novels, con- taining characters and plots both real and imagined: a venal governor thwarts a civil engineer who hopes to build affordable housing; a state security officer cannot stanch mysterious bloody stigmata after torturing prisoners all day; a young wife falls ill and is shuttled between incompe- tent doctors and several hospitals, even- tually dying while the Mubarak family watch a soccer match between Egypt and Algeria. In one essay, Aswany imagines
THE FINANCIAL PAGE CALL THAT A BUDGET? T ast week, when House Republicans L passed Paul Ryan's budget resolu- tion, Ryan, the Budget Committee chair- man, said that Congress had a "moral ob- ligation" to get the country's finances under control, and that the vote was a necessary response to a looming "debt- driven crisis." What he didn't mention was that it was also a vote to gut the fed- eral government. Because Ryan presents himself as a reasonable technocrat who's just making the tough choices that other politicians shirk, that may sound like an exaggera- tion. But the simple truth is that his plan is not an evenhanded attempt to solve Americàs long-term budget problems. It's a profoundly radical document, its proposals skewed by ideological biases. Raising taxes, of course, is out of bounds. The same goes for using federal power to hold down Medicare costs, which will be the key driver of future budget deficits. Instead, House Republicans would cut spending on almost everything else the government does. According to an analy- sis by the Congressional Budget Office, the Ryan plan would, by 2050, reduce federal spending to its lowest point, as a percentage ofG.D.P., since 1951. And since an aging population, with rising health -care costs, means that a hefty chunk of government spending will be going to retirement and health-care benefits, hitting Ryan's target would re- quire drastically shrinking everything else. Ryan doesn't exactly hide his hostility to government, but he's adept at down- playing the impact that his proposed cuts would have on people's lives. Thus the part of the plan titled "Repairing the Social Safety Net" in fact calls for huge cuts in spending on Medicaid, food stamps, Pell grants, and so on-all of which will un- questionably damage the social safety net and make life harder for millions of Amer- icans. This is about as disingenuous as calling a companys downsizing initiative "Boosting Our Labor Force." Reforming the welfare state is a reasonable goal. But when Ryan explains that he's doing things like cutting Medicaid in order to help "the less fortunate get back on their feet" one 26 THE NEW YORKER, APRIL 9,2012 hears echoes of Judge Smails, in "Cad- dyshack," explaining that he sentenced young criminals to death because "I felt I owed it to them." Any doubt that Ryan's choices are dic- tated by ideology rather than economics vanish when you look at one area of spend- ing that he wants to increase: the defense budget. If you're genuinely interested in fiscal responsibility, this is an untenable position. Annual defense spending has risen more than a hundred per cent since 2001, and it already constitutes more than half of all discretionary government spend- ing. Countless analysts-including mem- bers of the military-have shown ways that the defense budget could be substantially cut without endangering national security. / . 1;' , . . . . .. . , And the winding down of the wars in Iraq and Mghanistan provides a good opportu- nity to do so: after the Korean War, Pres- ident Eisenhower cut defense spending by twenty-seven per cent; after Vietnam, Nixon cut it by twenty-nine per cent; and, after the end of the Cold War, the defense budget was cut by twenty per cent. But Ryan will have none of this. And, despite his rhetorical obsession with " ffi . " 1 h h d ' e clency e sew ere, e oesn t even offer a substantive justification for why de- fense should get a free pass, or why na- tional security requires us to spend four hundred billion dollars more each year than we did a decade ago. Instead, he re- lies on overblown rhetoric-cuts would "devastate" the military-and bad histori- cal analogies. He argues that defense spending is smaller-as a percentage of G.D.P., and as a percentage of federal spending-than its Cold War average. That comparison makes no sense: we are no longer facing the might of the Soviet Union, and the major threats of today are not ones that new aircraft carriers and joint strike fighters are designed to combat. Ryan's uncharacteristic munificence to- ward defense requires his cuts elsewhere to be even more draconian, effectively starv- ing most of the rest of the government to death. The C.B. O. analysis of Ryan' s plan, for instance, finds that, by 2050, all the government's discretionary spending, in- cluding defense, would represent just 3.75 per cent of G.D.P. Given that defense spending in the postwar era has never been less than three per cent ofG.D.P., and that Republicans won't consider cutting it, the rest of the government's discretionary spending would have to be squeezed out of that remaining 0.75 per cent. This is a de- risory number-in the entire postwar era, it has never been less than eight per cent. In practical terms it would make most of what the federal government does-from main- taining infrastructure to air-traffic control, environmental regulation, and crime fighting-unaffordable. Ryan's path to prosperity, in other words, is a path that ends with the federal government spend- ing its money on health care, Social Secu- rity, and the military, and little else. It's true, of course, that this budget will never become reality; after all, the elector- ate likes most of the programs that House Republicans want to kill. The budget is, as many have said, an act of political the- atre, a way for Republicans to demon- strate what they stand for. But that's pre- cisely what makes it so revealing: what Ryan is proffering here is something like the platonic ideal of a budget. And what his plans tell us is that there's very little the federal government has done over the past hundred and fifty years, apart from fighting wars, that the House Republi- cans approve of: In that sense, the Ryan plan is not about fiscal responsibility. It's about pushing a very particular, and very ideological, view of the proper relation- ship between government and society. The U.S. does need to get its finances in order. It just doesn't need to repeal the twentieth century to do so. -James Surowiecki z z <( UJ Z :r: c.... o l- ll) C2 :r: u
of formal invention. Yet the level of craftsmanship is extraordinary, and the actors are very good, es- pecially Dench, who gives one of her most wide- ranging performances. As the filmmakers tell it, India, with its dazzling light, crowds, noise, and dust, is inevitably a test for the old. Withdrawing from the lure and demand of the place is the same as withdrawing from life. Face it straight on, and you defy mortality. Directed by John Madden, from 01 Parker's adaptation of the novel by Deborah Moggach.-D.D. (5/7/12) (In wide release.) BOY MEETS GIRL The meteoric first film by the French director Leos Carax, from 1984, hurls Alex (Denis Lavant), an aspiring filmmaker his own age, out of one des- perately romantic relationship and into another, through a permanently nocturnal Parisian atmo- sphere of poetic coincidences and crazy risks. Liv- ing in a garret where he maps, on a wall, the urban the Vampire Slayer" and "Firefly"-produced and co-wrote with the director, Drew Goddard. The setup is an old chestnut: a group of archetypal college students on break (the nerd, the virgin, the stoner, etc.) spend a weekend in an isolated cabin where things are not what they seem. What happens in the rest of the movie contains too many spoilers to mention, but suffice it to say that the mayhem and the many, many twists and turns of the plot are devilishly creative. Though the film seems drug-addled and self-possessed beyond its scares, the choice appears to be delib- erate: the filmmakers are less interested in providing a slow buildup to their frights than in splattering the clichés of the form in funny, spir- ited ways. With Kristen Connolly, Chris Hems- worth, Amy Acker, and one very big sur- prise cameo that will be close to any fan boy's heart.-Bruce Diones (In wide release.) TABLES FOR TWO THE BOWERY DINER 241 Bowery, between Rivington and Stanton Sts. (212-388-0052 )-Remember that grilled cheese? The one you had when you were ten? It was after school, or a sporting event, and you stopped off for a bite with a grandparent, teammate, or friend from the neighborhood, and it basically changed your brain chemistry, and since then, you've never lost hope of stumbling upon that one delicious grilled cheese again? Well, you won't find it at the Bowery Diner, a new venture from Motorino's Mathieu Palombino, next door to the New Museum. The diner's décor screams nostalgia, with its Formica tabletops and vinyl booths, but Palombino, who is Belgian, has grander ambitions. He seems to be more interested in occupying the conceptual space vacated by Flo- rent, the former meatpacking-district institution that was half diner, half glamorous brasserie. His grilled cheese has a Continental touch (Swiss and Cheddar, layered between wide slabs of buttery grilled farm bread) and demands to be pulled apart and eaten open-faced, like a cheesy bruschetta. It's good, in an indulgent way, until you realize how much bread, butter, and cheese you've just eaten. Though it doesn't always succeed at either, Bow- ery Diner's menu aspires to satisfy adult cravings as well as childhood ones. The tuna tartare tastes, disappointingly, like the mushy insides of a spicy- tuna roll; the main draw of the smoked-salmon ap- petizer plate is the reappearance of that buttery ............... / ...... '-.1 r r ( -/J-J :rrr : 0 " ... grilled bread; mussels come in a shallow serving dish that skimps on juice. The menu also includes plenty of randomness. It's part of a strategy, a wait- ress explained, of floating new dishes as specials, and keeping them, or not, based on their success. The salty, thoroughly average fried chicken, which comes with a caramelized-apple pancake, has ap- parently made the cut. So, inexplicably, has the lob- ster roll, which consists of a dry bun and minced, mayonnaise-drenched meat. On a recent Thursday night, around 10 P.M., an informal survey of the patrons revealed the secret to the Bowery Diner- you need to be drunk to enjoy this food. Soaking up alcohol: one of the eternal, if less noble, pur- poses of diner cuisine. A night at the Bowery Diner can be trouble- some, forcing you to question your most cherished childhood diner memories. Was the food even that good to begin with? Take solace in the creamy milk- shakes, which, despite their unconventional ingredi- ents (peanut butter, maple syrup, optional shots of alcohol), are served in the traditional, time-honored fashion: in a small glass, with whipped cream and a cherry on top, and the extra in a shiny metal cup. While not exactly diet food, those shakes are the one bright spot on the menu, and keep alive the elu- sive diner dream. (Open 24 hours. Entrées $14-$18.) -Lizzie Widdicombe sites of his great initiation experiences, writing love letters on a typewriter and saving them for his au- tobiography, shoplifting books and records and scuffling around pinball machines in downbeat cafés, Alex-on the eve of his departure for the Army (military service still being universal in France at the time)-crashes a party to meet a woman (Mireille Perrier) whose boyfriend left her via in- tercom. Lucid, sardonic, cinema-centric asides (es- pecially one great set piece involving an aged, hear- ing-impaired movie technician from the silent-film era) adorn their all-night tangle of intimacy, build- ing to a grungy, furiously self-deprecating Lie- bestod. Ecstatic cinema and ecstatic living join to- gether in a pressurized promise of glory and misery, a flameout waiting to happen-and to be filmed.

Fans of rip-roaring horror films like "The Evil Dead" will have a field day with this ingenious sendup, which Joss Whedon-the mastermind behind the TV cult classics "Buffy 16 THE NEW YORKER, MAY 28, 2012 THE COLOR WHEEL In this bracingly original comedy, the director Alex Ross Perry gives a harsh, sarcastic twist to the inti- mate rivalry of siblings. He co-stars as Colin, a dif- fident aspiring writer whose older sister, J.R. (Carlen Altman), a proud and caustic aspiring actress, has dropped out of college after ending a relationship with "one of the top broadcast-journalism profes- sors in the entire state." She recruits Colin to join her on a road trip to her ex's house to retrieve her belongings. The siblings' antic humiliations begin at a Christian-themed motel, where they must pretend to be a married couple, and continue through a se- ries of chance encounters, including one with former high-school friends (Kate Lyn Sheil and Anna Bak- Kvapil). Along the way, they pummel each other ver- bally with their constant squabbling and unearth sev- eral decades' worth of pent-up grudges. Perry directs these uproarious rapid-fire outbursts with exquisite comic timing and incisive comic framing (the black- and-white cinematography is by Sean Price Williams); he and Altman go at each other with claws bared, revealing the terrifying vulnerability of two wounded souls who know each other's wounds all too wel1.-R.B. (BAM Cinématek; through May 24.) DARK SHADOWS Another old TV series is dragged from the grave. Johnny Depp plays Barnabas Collins, who is cursed, laid to rest for two hundred years, then sprung from his coffin in 1972-the cue for a stream of period gags, as the highfalutin vampire with the lordly turn of phrase gets stuck in the era of the lava lamp. Un- dead but ambitious, he returns to the family home, now infested by his suitably screwed-up descen- dants-played by Michelle Pfeiffer, Jonny Lee Miller, Chloë Grace Moretz, and Gully McGrath, with Hel- ena Bonham Carter hanging around as a drunken shrink. The plot is no more than a thread: Barnabas must revive the Collins fortune whilst fending off the attentions, both amorous and savage, of a sor- ceress named Angelique (Eva Green). Green is the liveliest presence in the film, bringing a twitch of Jessica Rabbit, and some of the special effects that enfold her seem genuinely haunting and crazed; but even she can do only so much to redeem the shoddy construction of the tale or to allay our increasing suspicion that this is not so much a coherent movie as it is a long, expensive joke in search of a pur- pose.-A.L. (5/21/12) (In wide release.) ELENA In this sluggish, portentous melodrama, the director Andrei Zvyagintsev highlights critical inequities in Russian society and in one marriage. The title char- acter, a middle-aged former nurse, met her husband, Vladimir, a retired plutocrat, a decade ago, and both have problems with their children from previous marriages. Elena scrambles to support her layabout son's growing family in his scruffy working-class flat, while Vladimir's daughter, Katya, lives in swing- ing urbanity on her father's largesse. When Vladi- mir suffers a heart attack and makes plans to write a will, Elena takes dramatic steps to protect her fam- ily's interests. Zvyagintsev takes long looks at the sleek décor in the apartment that Elena and Vladi- mir share, and he lets his scenes play out in static takes that resemble skits but plod with unearned weightiness, as if to pad a twenty-minute storyout- line into a feature. The best thing in the film is the cannily crafted soundtrack, which is filled with audio dips from television, suggesting pop-culture circuses that not only amuse and distract the people but also corrupt them. Yet this film's flat, tendentious moralism is hardly a substantial response. In Rus- sian.-R.B. (Film Forum.) THE FIVE-YEAR ENGAGEMENT Everything stalls the union of the thirtyish San Fran- cisco couple formed by Tom Solomon (Jason Segel), a skilled sous-chef, and Violet Barnes (Emily Blunt), who has a Ph.D. in psychology. Not just work- they are a two-career pair at a time in which good jobs are scarce-but also family, friends, bad facial hair, the allure of other lovers, the flux and accidents that can hit anybody. The film, which Judd Apatow produced, and which Segel co-wrote with the direc- tor, Nicholas Stoller, is a kind of commonplace con- temporary American epic-leisurely, episodic but pungent, densely populated, consistently funny, and, in the Apatovian spirit, foulmouthed and tender- hearted. Stoller and Segel employ a consistent comic strategy: the struggling couple goes though life's tri- als while everyone around them is defined by a sin- gle offbeat trait. (It's the hobbyhorse theory of hu- manity.) With Chris Pratt, as Tom's best friend; Alison Brie, as Violet's sister; Lauren Weedman, as a gay top chef so butch and blunt that she hardly blinks when she chops off a finger; and Brian Posehn, as a pickle fancier who has a mountain-man look and delivers the wildest profanities in a monotone voice.-D.D. (5/7/12) (In wide release.) HEADHUNTERS An undersized Norwegian businessman, Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie), not quite as suave or as successful as he would like to think, has a lofty wife (Synnøve Macody Lund) and a quiet, profitable sideline in stealing art.

Museums Advocacy Day sponsored by the American Association of Museums encourages professionals and supporters to speak up for museums and to promote policy issues affecting the field. Focused around events taking place today at the U.S. Capitol, Museums Advocacy gives colleagues a chance to network and meet with Congressional offices to discuss the impact museums have on our society.
On Twitter, supporters are linking museums to the mainstay reasons we always cite for the purpose of garnering support; Museums are vital for education, community development, culture, economics and more. But one tweet jumped out at me. It made the mission to save museum funding more personal: "Has a museum improved your life? Tweet about it today with @AAMers' hashtag:#MuseumsAdvocacy” This question shot my mind back in time. I thought about how museums first improved MY life. I remembered one of the local museums near where I grew up. I remembered experiencing the wonderment for the very first time that I now feel whenever I go to a museum.
The Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport, NY seemed far removed from my world. When I first visited the museum with my mother, the opulence of the residence in its beautiful setting was bewildering to a young person's eyes. I enjoyed the place as an historic structure with an "otherness" that seemed untouchable yet intriguing. It was the stories of the people inside that made the museum shine for me. It was my opportunity to volunteer at the Estate through a national honor society program that introduced me to new ideas about deciphering stories through collections. This hooked me into the value of museum going and untangling history through historical resources.
I was welcomed to the Vanderbilt by the Director who gave me a tour of the facility and let me see William K. Vanderbilt through her eyes. While the director helped me develop a burgeoning interest in history and art, the place she opened to me could have had a similar impact on someone interested in the sciences due to the museum's diverse collections.The scrapbooks she entrusted to me covered many family stories ranging from the collecting of objects related to natural history, to the building of a Long Island highway so that the Vanderbilts could explore their passion for automobiles by racing them, to the family scandals. The many hours I put into the scrapbooks were many hours getting to know the family. The museum was a shell for their stories. It became a place of many ghosts. It became to me a monument to those who helped build my community. It became my own place of exploration.
A museum's value is in connecting its visitors with the untouchable, making it seem approachable. A museum's value is also in offering a new perspective on the things we thought we knew, making the mundane seem special. Museums help us explore our place in the world and can help us understand that we have various paths that we can take based on our own personal choices. The value of a museum is in the capacity of its collections for verity and to offer alternate perspectives on reality. The value of a museum is also in the capacity of its staff to unlock those stories to encourage its visitors to engage with diverse ideas. Museums need support to reach their potential audiences. Everyone should have an opportunity to engage directly with a museum as I did when I was a teenager. Museums Advocacy invites you to share your stories to support museums as they support you. Please share: How has a museum improved your life?

Sarp Dosh Pooja
The road to Kukke Subramanya passes through the plantations of coffee and spice plantations of Shiradi Ghat. Meanwhile some awesome views of quaint scenes of hills, forests, valleys and gurgling mountain stream keep the travellers absorbed of the God's natural beauty. Twenty two km before the Subrahmanya Temple a short stretch of not-so-well-maintained roads, amidst dense foliage of bamboo and oak trees and under cool climes, leads to the pilgrimage. The scene of the temple is as prepossessing as that of a postcard picture.
Against the backdrop of Kumaraparvat in the Western Ghats, near the sacred river Kumaradhara, the winsome pilgrimage of Subrahmanya is located in the Sullia Taluk of Dakshina Kannada district of coastal Karnataka.
Subramanya Legend and Myth
Subrahmanya, the youngest son of Lord Shiva and Parvati, is the presiding deity of Kukke Subrahmanya Temple. The temple precinct doesn't have any specific Subrahmanya statuette rather a snake representation of the deity. Subrahmanya Kukke shrine is considered to be one of the seven sacred sanctums of the Tulu country. Boasting of several mythological happenings, one such incident of Subramanya shrine is when Lord Krishna's son was cured of Leprosy. Quiet interestingly, the idols of snake here is sheltered under a bamboo (Kukke in Kannada) roof after the worship.
The shrine came into being when the Janamejaya vouched to decimate snakes of the hills of what is known as Western Ghats today, by performing a holy yagna (holy oblation). As a consequence of the Yagna the snakes of the regions were annihilated and the some of those lefts were picked up the Garuda, the King crow who is also the natural enemy of snakes. This in turn waged a fierce battle between Vasuki, the King snake and Garuda, when Rishi Kashyapa advised Garuda to pray Lord Shiva and seek Lord Shiva's divine protection. Lord Shiva decreed that Subrahmanya would kill the asura Taraka and then live in Kukke, by the banks of Kumaradhara River and will be worshipped along with Vasuki.

Call us to clean roof moss from your house. Not only does this unsightly mess cause your home to look unattractive, but it’s unhealthy for you and your family. Although these organisms themselves do not cause damage to roofing materials, they trap water, which does accelerate wear and tear.
Because there is so much moisture in the air here in the Northwest, there is a greater need to clean roof moss from your house top. All of the dampness causes it to grow quickly. Not only is it an eyesore, but it can cut years off of the life of your roofing material. It is more economical to prevent the stuff from growing, rather than to let it grow and then kill it.
We clean roof moss by washing it off, which allows us to not only kill the moss on the surface, but also at the roots. Washing also preserves the integrity of your tiles or shingles at the same time. Scraping or pulling would cause damage. We offer complete service for all roof types and pitches. Our thorough service includes:
While anyone can spray water on your house, professional roof cleaning is more complicated. Not all roofing needs to be pressure-washed, and shouldn’t be washed over and over. In many cases, we can simply air-blow the debris off.
We use a low pressure system to clean roof moss. Since your roof is very expensive to replace, this prevents damage to tiles or shingles. This method not only effectively eliminates the mildew and fungus growth, but also kills the spores these plants grow from. By applying a chemical treatment, your house will look like new, and there will be no damage to tiles or shingles (which could occur with the use of high pressure washing methods). Once we use our system, it can be maintained by annual air blowing. There is no need to have to rewash because we have treated it.
Fungus holds moisture. It lifts shingles and draws moisture up underneath them. It causes water to back up, producing leaks. It clogs gutters and downspouts, and produces airborne spores. If the moss were knocked off, it would take shingle particles with it. You want our professional, careful service.
The best time for us to clean roof moss is after the plants have been dead for a few weeks. It can damage your shingles if you try to remove them while they are still alive. They will fall in your yard and may start growing there. Dead moss that is being eliminated from the shingles will break up into a powder and not harm the shingles. How soon you can eliminate it depends on how long it has been dead, the current weather, how big a hurry you are in, and how much rain and sun have hit the roof.

A low-mass star in the final stages of its life that illuminates the outer gas layers that it has previously ejected. Can resemble a planet through a small telescope, but otherwise not related to planets. How can a star become a black hole
Only happens in small stars, when the helium core runs out the outer layers drift away from the core.
A thick shell of gas ejected from and moving out from an extremely hot star; thought to be the outer layers of a red giant star thrown out into space, the core of which eventually becomes a white dwarf.
A very hot star surrounded by expanding gases that give off a glow because of intense radiation from the star.
The remains of a main sequence star towards the end of its evolution into a white dwarf. The outer layers of the star have been released into the surrounding environment and often form complex and beautiful structures around the intensely hot core. As planetary nebula are very common objects, there are only a few on the galaxy map; mostly near to our Sun or very large ones that were previously mistaken for HII regions. The term "planetary" is a misnomer - these nebula appeared as faint planet-like globes in early telescopes.
A planetary nebula is an astronomical object consisting of a glowing shell of gas and plasma formed by certain types of stars at the end of their lives. They are in fact unrelated to planets; the name originates from a supposed similarity in appearance to giant planets. They are a short-lived phenomenon, lasting a few tens of thousands of years, compared to a typical stellar lifetime of several billion years.

Green for market — We've been waiting for good news from Washington when it comes to local food systems. U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow hasn't disappointed us. This week, she announced a USDA grant for Detroit's Eastern Market in the amount of $100,000. The market intends to use the money to move larger volumes of healthy food into underserved Detroit-area neighborhoods known as "food deserts." There's something we can all get behind. Congrats, Eastern Market!
Dorie Greenspan has been called a "culinary guru" by no less than the New York Times; in her new book, Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $40), she doesn't just do classics (gougères, veal Marengo, pommes Dauphinoís), but such novelties as fresh tuna, mozzarella and basil pizza, and pumpkin stuffed with bread, cheese cream, garlic and thyme. The beautifully photographed presentations are accompanied by serving suggestions and storing methods — assuming there are leftovers.
From the mountains of Qimen County in the Anhui province of eastern China comes a black tea comparable to the famous Darjeeling. Keemun (the English spelling of Qimen during the colonial era) is the name. Hao Ya A (Downy Buds Grade A) is the highest grade possible, and the tea you want in your cup. The tiny black leaves with golden buds produce aromas and flavors that have been described as floral, port wine, pine smoke, biscuits and orchard fruits — in other words, complex. It makes a kick-ass iced tea too.
In the throes of football season, abundant snacks are a must for couch potatoes. If you're a serious snacker, there's Detroit Popcorn, a Mecca for not only popcorn, but all kinds of other snacks food. From plain yellow or white popcorn seeds to pouch packs that have pre-measured ingredients - popcorn, butter flavor salt and coconut oil - for perfect theater-quality popcorn. Rent an old-fashioned popper when you expect a big crowd to make it festive and fun. Look like a serious partier! See detroitpopcorn.com.

BEIJING: Eleven nursing home patients burned to death early Friday in China after one of them set the facility on fire in a row over money, state media reported.
Wang Gui, who was 45 and had had a stroke, set the inpatient section of the home in Hailun, Heilongjiang province, on fire after another resident allegedly stole 200 yuan ($33) from him, the Xinhua news agency said, quoting the local police. Wang and 10 other people, the oldest aged 87, died and two others were injured, the report said.
The nursing home housed 283 mostly senior citizens, Xinhua said. It was built in 2005 and has 450 beds for people in the northeastern area who have no source of income. Wang was sent there as he had nobody to take care of him after his stroke, it added.
Social tensions have been mounting in China in recent years against a backdrop of a widening income gap and abuses of public power, with disputes even over trifling issues sometimes triggering serious incidents.

WATCH: KKR players celebrate win over RCB in dressing room; video goes viral
Varun Chakravarthy & Andre Russell starred for KKR in the bowling department while Shubman Gill and debutant scored above 40 to take the side over the line.
Updated - 21 September 2021 1:53 pm
(Picture Credit: Instagram/@kkriders)
Kolkata Knight Riders had a great start to the second leg of IPL 2021 after a disappointing first half in India. They cruised over the Virat Kohli-led RCB and registered an emphatic nine-wicket win on Monday. Everything went well for the Knights. After losing the toss and asked to bowl first, their bowlers did an exceptional task to stop the opposition under 100 runs and then the young opening pair of Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer sealed the game with their fiery knocks.
It was all smiles in the KKR dressing room as they got a good kick off to the second leg. Everyone in the dressing room seemed elated at the win and acknowledged each other's contribution. "Well done to Venky. Top stuff. Gilly, amazing stuff. It's the type of start we want and the finishing we want. Everything was perfect today. Bowling, fielding, can't complain," Andre Russell was heard saying in the video posted by KKR on Instagram. "The team has won, that's the only result I wanted. Happy to contribute...Credit to Shubman. I think the way he batted gave me a lot of confidence," said debutant Venkatesh Iyer who scored 41* off 27 deliveries.
KKR moves to fifth spot in points table
With this emphatic victory against Virat Kohli-led RCB, KKR has moved to the fifth position in the points table. They now have six points and are just behind defending champions Mumbai Indians (8 points). The bigger margin of victory has also massively improved their NRR (+0.110) and is now only behind CSK and DC in terms of that. Meanwhile, for RCB it was yet another disappointing performance as they crumbled under pressure.
From 51/3 at one stage, they were reduced to 66/7. The three big names in the batting line up failed miserably. Kohli was caught LBW in the second over itself, while de Villiers was removed for a golden duck, courtesy of a searing yorker from Andre Russell. WATCH: Andre Russell gets AB de Villiers for a duck with a cracking yorker Maxwell, who struggled badly to break free, perished to Varun Chakravarthy while attempting a hoic over long-on. However, this has not affected their position in the points table but their NRR (-0.706) has got a serious dent.

Howdy! Now that we’ve all had a chance to recover from last week’s excellent Nova Scotia Craft Beer Week… it’s time to dive into more beer news! Hair of the dog, right?
• Following up on last week’s news, we now have all the information on the third beer from Upstreet Craft Brewing. Joining Commons Pilsner and Do-Gooder APA as the inaugural-release beers, Rhuby Social is definitely a new style to the Island – a Strawberry-Rhubarb Witbier. Brewed with a simple malt bill and lightly hopped to 12 IBUs, it features several “traditional and non-traditional” spice additions at the end of the boil. It’s then fermented with a “subtly-flavoured” Belgian yeast, adding character while allowing the Maritime-sourced rhubarb and strawberries (which are added post-fermentation) to shine through. This all results in a tart (but not sour), refreshing, and easy-drinking (at 5% ABV) ale. Looking forward to when all of us can sample these beers for the first time!
• Celtic Knot has recently rebrewed For Shore, their popular seasonal from last year. A Session IPA, this year’s batch features some slight changes: where the first version of this beer was hopped with two Australian varieties, Ella and Waimea, the new batch will feature Ella and two other varieties, Galaxy (Australia) and Mandarina Bavaria (Germany), both of which are known for being highly tropical and citrusy. Most of the hop additions came during the end of the boil and in the dry-hop, to maximize flavour and aroma while minimizing perceived bitterness. Coming in at 5% ABV and 35 IBUs, it should be available sometime in June; we’ll keep you updated on its release!
• Big Spruce Brewing has released their first Blonde Ale, named Jilted Blonde. Weighing in at 5% ABV and 30 IBUs, this beer features the Australian Topaz hop exclusively. A renowned multi-purpose hop, with excellent bittering, flavour and aroma properties, Brewmaster Jeremy White decided to only use it in the later stages of the boil. The result is a great example of the hop’s characteristics. For an additional blast of Topaz aroma, a portion has been cask conditioned with a extra dry-hop charge, and will be available at Stillwell soon.
• This year’s Fredericton Burger Battle (organized by Eat New Brunswick) is quickly approaching (June 8th-21st), and to coincide, New Brunswick Beer Tours will be launching the first ever YFC Burger Battle Walking Tours. A series of four, 3-hour walking tours, each will feature six different sliders paired with a different Picaroons beer (8 oz per pour), at a different location (the key word here is “different”). Confirmed spots include the King Street Ale House, Brewbakers, Vault 29, The Blue Door, and Delta Fredericton. The type of sliders available will change from tour to tour (there are four dates, June 11th, 13th, 18th and 20th), and will vary from beef tenderloin, to chorizo, to pulled pork, and beyond! Each Thursday tour will start at 6 pm, while the Saturday tours begin at 1 pm; tickets can be purchased for $49 (all included) on the NB Beer Tour site now. Exercise, beer, and burgers… the perfect combination!
• Speaking of Picaroons, it’s been announced that they will eventually be opening a Brewtique-like location in Uptown Saint John, at 30-38 Canterbury St. Details are slim at the moment, but it is confirmed they will be occupying space at this address sometime in the future, where locals can expect to see several taps for growler fills, merchandise for sale, and a small brew system on-site. It’s also possible they will dedicate some taps to local, small breweries in the future. Stay tuned!
• YellowBelly Brewery in St. John’s has released a summer seasonal this week, dubbed Summer Wheat. It is a light American Wheat Ale, brewed with 30% wheat malt, with the remainder of the grain bill being Canadian and English Pale Ale malts (2-row and Maris Otter). It is very light in appearance and slightly hazy due to the wheat content. It weighs in at 4.5% ABV, and is lightly bittered to 14 IBUs with Nugget and Cluster. It is also triple dry-hopped with Cascade, Topaz and Mosaic, for a substantial fruity aroma. From Brewmaster Liam McKenna, “I was worried it may turn into a sort of hop tea but the hop flavours have integrated well. It works perfectly as a taste of summer. It is light and hoppy but finishes extremely clean. A perfect patio beer.” Cheers to that! It is on tap at the brewery now, but won’t last long!
• There was some action at Paddys Irish Brewpub in Wolfville this week, as they took delivery of a new 7 BBL fermenter from DME. The expanded capacity will allow them to increase their draught and growler line-up to eight varieties, and to make lagers a regular part of their offerings. Speaking of which, look for their Helles lager on tap shortly.
• The very popular Cerberus IPA conspiracy brew between Big Spruce, Propeller and Tatamagouche breweries will make another appearance in bottles this morning, with a limited run available at Bishop’s Cellar. It has also been available on tap for growler fills at all three breweries (and occasionally at the growler stations at the private stores), and their stocks are getting low, so be sure and snag this one today!
• The Obey Convention VIII has kicked off in Halifax, and to celebrate, Garrison has brought back OBEY This Brew. Available in bottles now, and on tap shortly at the brewery for samples and growlers, this 5% ABV & 40 IBU Pale Ale will also be available at all of the OBEY shows (licensing permitting).
• As part of next weekend’s Atlantic Beer Festival, several spots in Moncton will be taking part in “Belgian Beer Week”, kicking off Sunday. Daily dinners and Belgian beer tastings at the Pump House Brewpub, Marky’s Laundromat, St James Gate and Plan B will feature different beers and breweries. Check the Festival’s Facebook page for exact details. Tickets are still available online for all three sessions of the Fest.
• Tickets for the NLC Beer Expo, being held June 5th and 6th at the Delta St. John’s Hotel, are on sale now. Priced at $82, they include unlimited tasting of more than 100 different beers and ciders (pamphlet with beer list is available here), pub grub, and a $10 taxi voucher. The show runs from 7-10 pm both Friday and Saturday, and tickets are available online here.
• The Gahan House Charlottetown Homebrew Competition has been narrowed down to the final 6 entries, with the judging happening this weekend. Judging will also take place for the Brewnosers Homebrew Competition this weekend. Good luck to all that entered!
As always, thanks for reading! The Acadie-Broue/Big Tide collaboration beer, La Gaboteuse II, is now available at the Big Tide brewpub for pints and growlers; this Belgian IPA won’t last long, so get down there quick to give it a try! This weekend, all four ANBL growler stations have a new version of Picaroons’ Blonde Ale… this batch has been dry-hopped with lots of Cascade. They’re calling it Selection Blonde Ale; you can also find a limited quantity at the Brewtique for growler fills. Picaroons is also holding a tap takeover tomorrow, May 23rd, at the Red Herring Pub in Saint Andrews; there’s no cover, and there should be lots of live music and beer! Petit-Sault‘s IPA, Soeur Catherine, is back once again at the brewery for growler fills, and is expected to be available in bottles, soon. TrailWay is holding another Cask Night at the King Street Ale House this evening, starting at 5 pm; they’ll have two casks pouring – their Hugh John Hops (DIPA), and a new American Stout (which should follow soon after on tap around Fredericton). And finally, in other Fredericton news, rumours have been circulating for months about Gray Stone Brewing, a brewery/taproom planning to open downtown (behind Wilser’s Room) in the near future. Recent artist renderings of the building have surfaced, and the city’s planning advisory committee have approved zoning. We’ll have more information on this new brewery for you, soon!

Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 2018 - Town of Washington Grove
Home > Town Government > Posted Minutes > PC Meeting Minutes > Planning Commission Meeting Minutes June 2018
6 June 2018 | Approved: 3 July 2018
Peter Nagrod called the meeting to order at 7:30 p.m. In attendance were Commissioners Charlie Challstrom, Georgette Cole (Alternate), Dave Hix, Deb Mehlferber and Steve Werts. Peter Nagrod announced he would recommend Georgette Cole be appointed by the Mayor as a full member of the Planning Commission thus filling the vacancy left by Steve Werts' stepping down after 10 years of service. This action will cause a vacancy in the Alternate position.
Dave Hix moved to approve the agenda. Charlie Challstrom seconded the motion. Approved: 5-0.
Charlie Challstrom moved to approve the May minutes. Deb Mehlferber seconded the motion. One change was made. The Clerk asked if anyone knew the status of the work on the steps at 203 2nd Avenue. Peter volunteered to call the owner and ask for an update. Approved: 5-0, as amended.
201 Brown Street – Dave Hix explained the proposed deck. He also explained normally a request like this would require a boundary survey to verify adequate setback exists for the project. In this case the setback is twice that required for the rear yard and over four (4) times that required for the side setback so the margin for any error is adequate. He also used the safety factor to come to his decision. Dave Hix moved to approve proposed deck at 201 Brown Street. Charlie Challstrom seconded the motion. Approved: 5-0.
125 Chestnut Avenue – The Commission received an e-mail about the proposed cantilever/box bay window on May 8, 2018. The proposed plan removes an existing bay window and adds a cantilever/box bay window in its place. The Commission does not require a Town permit for this action, however, the architect will go to the County and needs the Town approval to move forward. Approved: 5-0.
105 Grove Avenue – Deb Mehlferber explained the proposed changes to the fence and addition of two (2) gates. The fencing is the same style as currently exists. Charlie Challstrom moved to approve a replacement/repair in place with the stipulation that PC approval is not certifying the location. The PC is not verifying the accuracy of the line between 105 and 107 Grove Avenue. Approval: 5-0.
Darrell Anderson was voted in as Mayor Pro-Tempore
Charlie Challstrom was nominated to Planning Commission liaison
Two (2) ordinances were introduced and public hearings were scheduled
One resolution was introduced
The Council discussed priorities for the coming year
Council responsibilities were discussed but not verified
Code Enforcement Officer – update:
At the previous meeting of the PC, Mayor Joli McCathran mentioned she met two (2) men at an MML meeting who worked as a Code Enforcement Officers at nearby municipalities. She suggested the PC get in touch with either or both to see if they would be interested in working for the Town in that capacity. Charlie Challstrom pointed out these two (2) men work as Building Inspectors not Code Enforcement Officers. There was a discussion about the difference between the two (2) jobs, the difficulty of enforcement, use of the municipal infractions process, and the philosophy behind enforcement. Charlie will get the men's names from Joli and contact them. It was also mentioned that the Commission should buy a laser distance measurer.
Railroad Street Safety Requests (speed humps, street light):
Charlie Challstrom reported the Emergency Preparedness Committee (EPC) would like to move forward with a streetlight at the crosswalk on Railroad Street and the installation of some speed humps. The area in question would also benefit from better signage. Charlie distributed information from Montgomery County about specific criteria for speed humps. The Commission discussed the pros and cons. The EPC would like the Mayor to write a letter to Montgomery County Dept. of Transportation (MoCoDOT) requesting speed humps on Railroad Street with a recommendation from the Planning Commission. Dave Hix moved to support moving ahead with speed hump request to MoCoDOT for Railroad Street. Deb Mehlferber seconded the motion. Approved: 5-0.
Ordinance 2018-02 (Sale of Property) – PC input for June 11th public hearing:
A public hearing will be held on June 11, 2018. Charlie Challstrom gave some legal history behind the method of a sale of surplus property and distributed a draft memo to the Town Council for consideration at the Public Hearing. He also explained the PC and HPC are advisory only in their reviews and recommendations to the Town Council. It is the Council who makes the decision about declaring a parcel surplus. Dave Hix expressed concern about language which makes reference to completing the action recommended in the 1987 Policy. It doesn't really do that. He suggested adding "follows the spirit of the policy for this limited set of homes" in place of original language. After a brief discussion, the Commission concluded that Charlie would make the changes to the document. Dave Hix moved to approve the memo dated June 6, 2018 for transmission to the Mayor and Town Council. Peter Nagrod seconded the motion. Approved: 5-0.
A public hearing will be held on July 9, 2018. The Commission reviewed the ZTA. Charlie Challstrom explained the legal requirements for ZTA's. The Commission debated language and intent in Section 3.327 (Fences), made some changes to the new definition of "Main Building Line Extended", reviewed repair & replace definitions and discussed the implementation of an expedited process for a building permit for a fence if a boundary survey exists and is in Town files. The discussion about the expedited process was brief and tabled to another date.
A public hearing will be held on July 9, 2018. The Commission discussed Section 1(D) and the requirement for a boundary survey.
Deb Mehlferber reported a discussion with Will Percy (118 Chestnut Ave.) about installation of a gate on an existing fence. It was determined he did not need a building permit for this action.
Georgette Cole distributed a "Call for Recruitment" draft for the next Town Bulletin. A discussion about how to solicit more interest in the project ensued. There was also a discussion about the timeline; Public Hearing on March 6, 2019, Adoption by TC on April 8, 2019 and finalize before the 2019 Annual Town Meeting. In order to do this, recommendations should be in by early January 2019.
Washington Grove House Records – Status Report: Georgette Cole reported 207 properties have been completed. There is still database work to be done.

Jeremiah 20 - New Century Version - NCV - Bible Study Tools
he had Jeremiah the prophet beaten. And he locked Jeremiah's hands and feet between large blocks of wood at the Upper Gate of Benjamin of the Lord's Temple.
The next day when Pashhur took Jeremiah out of the blocks of wood, Jeremiah said to him, "The Lord's name for you is not Pashhur. Now his name for you is Terror on Every Side.
This is what the Lord says: 'I will soon make you a terror to yourself and to all your friends. You will watch enemies killing your friends with swords. And I will give all the people of Judah to the king of Babylon, who will take them away as captives to Babylon and then will kill them with swords.
I will give all the wealth of this city to its enemies -- its goods, its valuables, and the treasures of the kings of Judah. The enemies will carry all those valuables off to Babylon.
And Pashhur, you and everyone in your house will be taken captive. You will be forced to go to Babylon, where you will die and be buried, you and your friends to whom you have prophesied lies.'"

Penney's grim forecast sounds warning bell - MarketWatch
Published: Mar 28, 2008 10:11 a.m. ET
Commentary: Retailers don't need another weak holiday
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- For anyone who hoped that the consumer was going to keep the economy afloat during the downturn, J.C. Penney Co.'s warning Friday morning dashed that dream.
The department-store operator, which caters to middle-income shoppers, slashed its first-quarter earnings and sales forecasts, citing weakness in the consumer spending environment. See full story.
This warning isn't just about Penney. The retailer is generally held up as a model of a well-run, well-merchandised and innovative operation. If they can't keep it together as the economy sputters, what about the rest of the retailers? Penney's shares tumbled 13% in morning trading, and shares of fellow retailers Macy's Inc. M, +4.20% Kohl's Corp. KSS, +1.61% Target Corp. TGT, +1.89% and even high-end retailer Nordstrom Inc. JWN, +3.57% slipped.
Piling on more bad news, Penney JCP, -2.22% said Easter holiday sales were "well below expectations." Ouch. Easter is generally the bright spot for retailers in the spring.
While it's nothing like the scale of the winter holidays, Easter gets shoppers thinking about spring and gives them a reason to hit the stores. Retailers, in turn, are able to get new -- full priced -- fashions on the shelves and out the door, plumping their profit margins.
This year, Easter fell in March -- as opposed to April last year -- and while that translates to an expected boost for the month, an earlier Easter also means that people aren't as likely to buy spring gear. Add in a much colder-than-normal March in many regions of the U.S. and of course, that pesky economy, and the stage is set for a pretty grim month.
And what about poor April? It was supposed to be weak anyway because of the Easter calendar shift. All of this comes after a winter holiday shopping season that has been generally characterized as miserable.
In recent economic downturns, consumer spending has helped buoy the economy as shoppers were emboldened by a strong real-estate market, cheaper food and gasoline and a vein of home-equity credit they could tap at any time. Things couldn't be more different now.
Penney's chief said it best.
"J.C. Penney counts half of American families as its customers, and they are feeling macro-economic pressures from many areas, including higher energy costs, deteriorating employment trends and significant issues in the housing and credit markets," Penney's Chairman and Chief Executive Mike Ullman said in the warning. "While the economic stimulus package may provide some temporary benefit, we expect the continuation of a difficult environment over the course of 2008."

Letter: Eliminating public hearings for CAFOs a mistake
From: Jean Terpstra
I am a 26-year resident and passionate supporter of Columbus. I have to speak out against the direction that I see the Bartholomew County Plan Commission and Bartholomew County Board of Zoning Appeals are taking this community.
I am writing in opposition to the proposed changes to the zoning rules controlling the establishment of huge concentrated livestock operations known as CFOs and CAFOs in Bartholomew County. While presented as if the proposed rule changes are an increase in protection that will safeguard the community, they are in fact the opposite. Any protection they claim to provide is illusory and deceptive, and they are wholly inadequate to protect this community from the huge individual and community costs of expanding this industry here.
The current system requires a public hearing before allowing these massive animal operations to establish. This hearing gives everyone in the community a chance to understand what is proposed and identify potential problems before these factory farms go in. It gives everyone the chance to learn the facts and help determine what is best for everyone in the community. Removing the hearing requirement is the opposite of government transparency and will blind-side the community and silence those most directly affected by these massive, resource-intensive and polluting, concentrated livestock operations.
The conditional use process currently in place also allows the BZA to look at the specific operation on that proposed site and make additional conditions needed to protect the community. If it were near a school or nursing home, next to a historic farm, on flood plains, or next to wetlands, these things could be considered and changes to the application required before approval would be granted.
Bartholomew County is a heavily populated county, with lots of waterways, flood zones, people and businesses that require special consideration. The individualized conditional use review process is the best way to deal with those special circumstances.
Do not let the BZA and plan commission shirk their responsibility to control the placement and development of these CFOs and CAFOs. Ask the plan commission to act on the premise that current homes, schools, parks, businesses and non-CAFO farms are as important as any proposed concentrated livestock operations. Please ask them to reject the current proposed changes and maintain the requirement that all CFOs and CAFO must receive a conditional use permit before establishing here in our community.
Come to the plan commission hearing at 8:30 a.m. Feb. 10 at Columbus City Hall and let them know you won't be silenced.

4.0 out of 5 starsIdeal for historical story lovers
Recall by R. Lawson, tells the story through the eyes of four guys who all played football together in high school and the characters return home and how society welcomes their return.
The story revolves around 4 characters Biff, Roe, Al and Cody, they are all high school team mates from Maryland. They find themselves head hunted by the military for top position jobs during the Vietnam war. R Lawson cleverly interwove their stories to tell the reader of the historical events but through each of their eyes from the start to the end of the war. The author explains the terror, confusion and violence of what war causes particularly, in this case, the Vietnam war and how the horrors those boys witnessed changed their lives once they returned.
It is very apparent that the author has put a great amount of time into researching this book and also by combining his own knowledge from living through that generation as well. I found it very interesting reading about it through the boys eyes and recommend to anyone that's looking for a new historical fiction. Great job R. Lawson!
5.0 out of 5 starsProbably the most realistic historical fiction about Vietnam
Wow, well done for Lawson, who obviously dedicated a lot if his time to support this fictional story with a lot of factual information. For sure, the fact that he lived through the events makes him well acquainted, resourceful and authoritative writer. So. although I'm never on the side of war, regardless of who is fighting it, this extremely supported story made me think once or twice about how would I behave in similar scenarios. Lawson uncovers a bit of the dark truths about war, the broken chain of command and the dubious espionage methods by placing them into the perspective of his four heroes (in football, in life and in sports). Biff, Roe, Al and Cody are Maryland high school teammates who grow together playing on the same team. They are all overachievers which makes them attractive candidates for top positions in the military during the Vietnam war. The personal stories are cleverly positioned in the historical events, describing the start and the end of the war, and anything in between with relentless objectivity, lack of drama and a current perspective. It's weird how the perspective changes, but the PTSD stays. Although Lawson distances from taking a direct stand in proclaiming a winner or a loser in the war, he is not trying to diminish the necessity of some steps in the overall context or the consequences that still follow vets. If you've never been in a war, you're most likely going to start a new one, that's for sure. Expect many details about what actually took place in the most infamous war of the 20 century.
4.0 out of 5 starsA War Movie Waiting to Be Made
Recall follows the lives of four young men who grew up together on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in the 1950s and served in Vietnam. As someone who lives in Maryland and has a grandfather who went to Vietnam, this book was particularly fascinating to me. This story was drenched in history and was a very interesting look at how each different man experienced the war in a very different way, despite their similar upbringing. I really enjoyed all of the characters, but Biff was a really cool character because he did not have a typical role seen in combat. Biff served as a Deputy Station Manager and I really felt like it added an extra piece to show how operations worked to have that diversity of characters/positions. Roe was my 2nd favorite character. I loved how well done his story was and his PTSD/flashbacks were really well done. I was worried that the football team stuff would be fluff, but it really showed the character's personalities, history, and experience. That inclusion of their football backstory made for a really rich contrast after the war when they returned after the war. I could totally picture this as a movie waiting to be made.
5.0 out of 5 starsDefinitely one of the best war stories I've read so far.
This is one of Lawson's best novels yet. He used rich historical facts to tell the story of war. From the football pitch to the war-torn zone. Both are a win-win situation. First was about surviving the game from the opponent, the second was about surviving in the real sense of it.
Through this story, Lawson has certainly proven that he is well acquainted with the time in which his story was set. He literally narrates the beginning of the war as well as the end. I simply give him a kudos for this work. I wish Richard Lawson would contact me. :)
One thing I found out about this work is the fact that Lawson tried to x-ray on some hidden truth about the Vietnam War. It also explored how each man experienced the war differently from their own perspective.
Lawson did a good job in putting this book together. Now some of us who were not born in the time of the war can now begin to share some of the feelings of those who experienced the war.
This work is a perfect blend of history and fiction. It's suitable for a Hollywood blockbuster.
5.0 out of 5 starsGreat read for fans of history and literature alike
R. Lawson has written an excellent historical novel and engaged in a superb critical examination of the Vietnam War in his novel Recall.
The novel tracks the lives of four young men, from their All-American, apple-pie high school days, to the confusion, terror, and violence of the Vietnam War. As the narrative transitions from the eastern shore of Maryland to the jungles of Southeast Asia, we see through four personalized accounts how the war effectually changed a generation.
The story begins with a philosophical prologue of introspection and thought provoking discussion about the war and its effect on the people who fought in it. Lawson has authority to make such reflections because he himself fought in the war, and returned to be a bearer of the tale to our generation.
Once the book segues into the actual story part, we find that Lawson begins the tale in media res (in the middle of the story), illustrating many facets of combat with competence and compelling detail, and verifying his military knowledge and experience.
Overall this is a great, exciting, and thought provoking book written by a man who knows what he's talking about. Great for fans of history and literature alike.

I think you accomplished your task. I really like this writing! Graphics were great too. Awesome way to make something within the constraints of 48h. My one (hopefully constructive) criticism: I didn't like the line "enough to break the glass utterly" - if i'm getting it right. Other than that I thought the writing was spot on!

Five Things The 2020 Nissan Pathfinder N-TREK Gets Right - and The One Thing it Gets Wrong
1500km in a Nissan Pathfinder | WhichCar real-world review
WhichCar's support office colleagues give their real-world impressions of Australia's best selling cars, including the Nissan's Pathfinder N-Trek
Adrian Goss
The 2020 Nissan Pathfinder N-TREK SUV is an all-round great choice for a big family all-wheel drive.
I tested the five-door, seven-seat Pathfinder on a 20-hour round trip that covered more than 1500km from Sydney to Byron Bay over the space of a week. Here are the five things it gets right and one thing it gets wrong.
1. Driver comfort
The driver's seat is really comfortable – perfect for a long trip. It allows for a range of adjustments, including adjustable lumbar support and temperature.
The steering wheel also adjusts through a wide range. Unsurprisingly for such a big car, you sit high with a great view of the road.
MORETop-spec family seven-seat SUVs compared
It has well-designed centre console storage that splits neatly into an upper and lower compartment and plenty of storage compartments for drink bottles, phones, keys and wallets. The glove box is huge, too.
The family four-wheel drive is a relatively daggy category of car but, at the price point, the Pathfinder is a great looking vehicle.
With contrasting black on the front grille, door handles, wheel arches, roof rails and door mirrors and a silver lower bumper guard, it has a suave look notwithstanding its boxy body. Contrasting black and silver alloy wheels add to that style.
Sitting high on the road, with a smooth ride and relatively good acceleration for such a big car, it's ideal for the highway.
However, it was also surprisingly good on the undulations and windy roads around Myall Lakes.
4. Back row access
Nissan has come up with a clever folding solution for the middle row of seats that provides good access to the rear row of seats.
MOREThe most affordable seven-seat SUVs on sale today
The seat folds up and the now compact unit slides forward. Unlike so many third rows that are strictly child-only, a reasonably lithe adult could easily slip into the third row.
Add to that relatively good legroom in both the second and third rows, a large rear sunroof and separate climate control in all three rows, and you have a very comfortable passenger experience, even with a full car.
I've already mentioned the huge glovebox and deep centre console. On top of that, there are (an almost over the top) thirteen cup holders throughout.
MOREBoot sizes of Australia's best-selling SUVs
The boot fills out the generous storage options with a mammoth 1164 litres with the third row folded down and 2004 litres with both the second and third rows folded down. Perfect for hauling around gear for the kids.
The one thing it gets wrong
The infotainment system. First, the centre panel has a bewildering array of buttons and knobs in addition to the touch-screen display. It's an overly busy and confusing set-up.
Second, the screen technology – in particular, the map – feels dated and not just because it doesn't allow Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The infotainment system gets the job done but it's a real contrast with the slick exterior.
All in all, tough, the Nissan Pathfinder is a great car for a long drive with the family.

RIP: Claire Stilley, EFCC volunteer & really fun neighbor - The NW Local Paper
HomeLocal facesRIP: Claire Stilley, EFCC volunteer & really fun neighbor
RIP: Claire Stilley, EFCC volunteer & really fun neighbor
December 21, 2015 Carolyn Fillmore 2
This Saturday, East Falls Community Council released an email announcing the passing of Claire Stilley, a dedicated neighborhood volunteer & enthusiastic advocate for a Dog Park in East Falls. She was only 47.
In recent years, Claire served as Community Council's Second vice president, organizing such popular events as the Chili-Cook-Off and the Carol Sing in McMichael park. To us, she was a bright, boisterous spirit who loved dogs about as much as she loved leading and organizing, especially at the community level where she thrived.
And she loved Tobie, her chocolate lab-mix rescue. Our dog, Ducky, loved the both of them — sometimes a little too much, ha.
We all met at a Halloween party/fund-raiser to help support an East Falls Dog Park. We quickly began working together on efforts such as a Yappy Hour at Roxborough's Foodery and "Watch Dogs," a proposed program to provide Town Watch training to dog walkers. Claire even helped organize the first East Falls Pack Walks!
Claire was always up for a chat, a beer, a stroll thru her favorite neighborhood — but also as a friend she was a fantastic sport. I will never forget how she gamely agreed to let me give her a "Mad Men Makeover" for the Hohenadel House party, and loyally sat for hours while I practiced the perfect beehive on her curled, teased hair (see above). She tried on dozens of dresses till we found a sleek black shift to show off her long, lean legs.
Unfortunately, Claire fell ill days before we could debut her new look. Seemed without warning, she was fighting for her life. This past year, I've deeply missed seeing her smiling face around town — but I've never stopped looking. Oh Claire… you really know how to leave an impression, don't you?
I've missed our walks, our goofs, and our gossips. I've missed running our dogs together at Redeemer Church's fenced yard (thanks, Teddy!).
Wherever you are, please know that somehow, someway — if there's any justice in this world — there's gonna be an East Falls dog park with your name on it. May our fond memories help mend fences and inspire renewed efforts for community improvement.
Peace, Claire Stilley. And thanks for all you did to make a difference.

Nice memories of someone who made a difference.
God rest Claire. May we find peace with the fond memories we have of her. May we continue to work to improve the neighborhood to honor her bold, benevolent efforts.

The day started early. I met my friend, Tom Short, at the Washington Mill a couple of Friday's ago at 7:00 AM. The main building, like most in Lawrence, started as a textile mill. It found a new life, in the 80s, or 90s as a paper company. Jersey Paper ceased operations in Lawrence around …

Do you know your audience? Before sitting down to write compelling content, ask yourself these questions:
If you don’t know the answers, you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. All you need to do is ask your customers. Don’t assume that the things your audience needs and wants are the same things that you need and want.
Nic Meliones uses his persuasion skills day in and day out – in his interactions with investors, customers, influencers, and his own team. As a startup CEO, this is his job. Here’s how he crafts high-stakes communications with the audience in mind:
They want to know, as early as possible, what they stand to gain from this interaction. Before starting to write, I thoroughly research my counterpart’s wants and needs.
I define the outcomes that will be beneficial to them, and then I use these outcomes as the driver of the conversation. I always put myself in the recipient’s shoes and fully focus on how they should feel and act upon reading the message.
Next time you are reading a persuasive piece, ask yourself – do I trust the author? If you don’t – will you take action? I won’t. I wouldn’t even finish reading. That’s why it is critical that we build trust first and foremost.
To build rapport, tell a story – either your own or that of your customer. The hero of the story starts out where your readers are – they have a problem, things are not working. Then they try different things – still no luck. And then finally, they arrive at the solution that you are sharing now.

Nice chapter; I do have the first book of Harry Potter; I've typed in a few lines from the first page:
"Mr and Mrs Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much. They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense.
Mr Dursley was the director of a big firm called Grunnings, which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck, although he did have a very large moustache. Mrs Dursley was thin and blonde and had neary twice the usual amount of neck which came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on neighbours. The Dursleys had a small son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy anywhere.
The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would discover it. They didn't think they could bear it if anyone found out about the Potters. mrs potter was Mrs Dursley's sister, but they hadn't met for several years, because her sister and her good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbours would say if the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him. this boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they didn't want Dudley mixing with a child like that.
When Mr and Mrs Dursley woke up on the dull, grey Tuesday our story starts, there was nothing about the cloudy sky outside to suggest that strange and mysterious things would soon be happening all over the country. Mr Dursley hummed as he picked out his most boring tie for work and Mrs dursley gossiped away..."
That's actually the whole page, lol! And by the way, how come you got the 7th book already?
Wicked description of the library; I just want my school library to be like that (except for the hot pink actually!)!
Update soon!
662268274 chapter 1 . 5/18/2007
damn that good uh but you had a few spelling mistakes and grammer but nothing major but love your carcters great absolute;y wonderful can't wait for the next chapter I might roll over laughing
Boooklover chapter 1 . 5/17/2007
OK, this is awesome, Reese is officially one of my favourite fictional chracters. Update soon!
CagedTroll chapter 1 . 5/17/2007
Your story is really very cool and convincing. It has a fresh narration style to it and both main characters are characterized really well without any of their traits being *explained*.
Two minor things though:
"(Miss P is the English teacher)"
I think the flow of the story would work better without this bit; it's clear from the story that Miss P is a teacher and seeing an explanation in brackets in the middle of the story throws some people - e. g. me - out of their concentration.
The other thing is Reese's description of herself. Few people would actually describe themselves as having "creamy coloured skin" or "medium sized lips". The whole paragraph is borderlining on making her sound like a Mary Sue.
That said, I mean it when I say those points are minor. I really enjoyed reading your story, and considering how quickly I become bored by reading things on a screen, that's saying something.

Cavity Wall Reveal Performance Diminishes
1) Use a cavicloser that permits variable frame positions rather than just a fixed one. Moving the frame further back within the reveal within the permitted parameters can shorten the heat-loss path through the exterior skin and lengthen the path through the interior skin. Check whether this might benefit your openings.
2) Instead of using an ordinary cavity closer consider using a Continuity Closer. Continuity Closers link with the cavity insulation and so block the commonplace gaps that occur and provide heat-loss paths. A Continuity Closer can cost no more yet can raise the performance compared with a non-interfacing alternative.
3) Ensure any penetrating water arrested by a cavity tray, lintel or dpc is quickly evacuated from the structure and not retained within it. The more quickly the masonry dries out the more quickly the thermal performance improves. Caviweeps provide water exit routes – select from the various models available. Some are dual-function and can function despite directly-blowing wind pressure.
4) Opening heads and opening sills can receive insulation infill's that reduce heat loss. Compressible Cavistops are ready-shaped to suit the area into which they are fitted and provide acoustic and thermal qualities. They take just seconds to install and friction-fit.

Verizon is starting to pick winners and losers from AOL and Yahoo's collection of ad-tech companies | Business Insider India
Mike ShieldsApr 3, 2018, 02:18 IST
Verizon's Oath is starting to pick some ad tech winners and losers from its acquisitions of AOL and Yahoo.
As a result, Oath is shuttering its 'programmatic TV' group.
The company is working toward rolling out a new advertising tech platform that blends the best parts of AOL and Yahoo's various tools and products.
Verizon is starting to trim the ad tech fat.
The company's digital media unit, Oath, is planning to shut down its One TV division, which was the company's attempt to build the software infrastructure for TV advertising as it eventually becomes more digital.
In addition, Oath is phasing out Convertro - an ad tech company it acquired for over $100 million in 2014 - as a stand-alone brand and business. The Convertro name is essentially going away, but many of that division's offerings - including tools designed to help brands figure out the impact of multiple ads in a given campaign - will be retained.
The moves are part of Oath's sorting out of winners, losers following the merger of Verizon's two huge acquisitions over the past few years: AOL and Yahoo. As a result of these moves, the company is planning a handful of layoffs.
Both companies joined Verizon with a sprawling number of products and offerings, particularly in the ad-tech arena. Many were the result of previous acquisitions by AOL and Yahoo.
In fact, the two web companies housed dozens of ad tech pieces between them, reported Digiday in 2017.
Oath is essentially doing ad tech bake-offs
As Verizon has worked on integrating the various pieces under the Oath banner, the company has indicated that it plans to keep the best of both companies, and eliminate parts that are redundant or no longer fit its current strategy.
For example, among its multiple web video ad platforms, the Yahoo property BrightRoll appears to be gaining favor while AOL's Adap.tv's role is being diminished, said AOL's partners.
In fact, Oath is eventually planning to release a single, start of the art advertising platform that will feature the best pieces of all the AOL/Yahoo assets, said a spokesperson.
"From day one, we have made a commitment to build a unified and differentiated global advertising platform to maximize the brand power of the world's best companies," said an AOL spokeswoman. "In doing so, we're taking our best assets and creating a powerful integrated, open, and transparent ad tech stack."
Prior to Verizon, AOL once harbored huge ambitions in TV and the cloud
A few short years ago, before it was acquired by Verizon, AOL announced big a pair of ambitious initiatives. For one, it planned to build the tech that would eventually underpin the $70 billion TV ad business as it inevitably embraces automation.
To bolster that initiative, AOL acquired a data-centric TV ad startup called PrecisionDemand in 2014.
Plus, AOL made a bold entry into the 'marketing cloud' industry - one dominated by giants such as Oracle, Salesforce, and Adobe - with its ONE platform, which aspired to provide big marketers with one-stop-shopping when it came to managing and storing all of their data and analytics.
That vision appeared to be tempered, as Oath CEO Tim Armstrong looks to focus the company on mobile media and advertising. The new "ONE" is referred to as a "mobile monetization platform."

Do you have a constitutional right to own a business? - Both sides of the table
Do you have a constitutional right to own a business?
What does the Constitution say about owning a business?
What is the right to own a business?
Is owning a business a right or a privilege?
Do companies have rights?
Do companies have due process rights?
Is a company a legal person?
Does the Constitution cover private businesses?
How is the Constitution related to the business environment?
In Santa Clara County v. Southern Pacific Railroad (1886), the Supreme Court held that the Fourteenth Amendment applied to corporations. Since then the Court has repeatedly reaffirmed this protection.
As a business owner, you have the right to run your business in any manner you see fit, as long as you are not in violation of any applicable state or federal laws. The only factors that limit the success of your business are your ingenuity and your commitment to achieving the goals you establish.
Owning a business in this country is a privilege, it's not a right. I want you to think about it differently. You need to respect it like it's the most important thing in your life and the health of it is largely dependent on the health of your people.
Corporations do not have coequal constitutional rights as living, breathing human citizens, but they are making claims on more rights that, until relatively recently, were only asserted by real people.
What is due process and how does it work? … In practice, the Supreme Court has used the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment to guarantee some of the most fundamental rights and liberties we enjoy today. It protects individuals (or corporations) from infringement by the states as well as the federal government.
IT IS INTERESTING: How do you determine the value of the assets of a business you want to buy?
Business owners have the right to refuse service to customers for legitimate reasons. Learn when it's legal to turn away a would-be customer, and when it could land you in court. … Some upscale restaurants and night clubs also reserve the right to refuse entry by enforcing dress codes, such as no jeans or tennis shoes.
ensuring standard form contracts do not have unfair terms. honouring customer guarantees. ensuring the safety of products and services. complying with rules on sales practices (such as price, customer information, lay-by agreements and unsolicited customer agreements).
The Constitution expressly provides that Congress can regulate commerce with foreign nations, interstate commerce, and commerce that affects interstate commerce. This provision has had a greater impact on business than any other provision in the Constitution.

[hide abstract]ABSTRACT: Severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), caused by a novel coronavirus, emerged in early 2003 as a major international health crisis. We report on serum cytokine levels, viral load and clinical parameters over the course of the disease in a cohort of nine adult SARS patients treated with steroids and interferon alfacon-1 at North York General Hospital in Toronto, Ontario. Considerable variation among SARS patients with respect to circulating viral load and patterns of SARS-CoV-evoked cytokine responses was recorded. No single cytokine profile was observed in all patients, yet serum concentrations of interferon (IFN)-gamma, interleukin (IL)-10, CXCL10, CCL5 and CXCL8 were found to be elevated above normal levels during the course of the disease in all patients. Expression levels for IL-10, IFN-gamma and CXCL10 consistently peaked within 4 days of peak viral load. IL-12p70, IL-4 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha concentrations were consistently highest within 5 days of peak viral load. These results suggest that elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines are sensitive correlates of disease severity, including lung abnormalities and viral load in serum, and may provide a tool for monitoring disease progression in affected individuals.

[hide abstract]ABSTRACT: Type I interferons (IFNs) include the IFN-alpha family of subtypes, IFN-beta, IFN-omega, IFN-tau, IFN-kappa, IFN-lambda, and IFN-zeta. IFN genes lack introns and encode secretory signal peptide sequences that are proteolytically cleaved prior to secretion from the cell. In contrast to the approximately 50% amino acid sequence identity among the human IFN-alpha subtypes, human IFN-alphas share approximately 22% identity with human IFN-beta and 37% identity with human IFN-omega. Many of the conserved residues among the type I IFNs are implicated in receptor recognition and structural integrity. This report provides an update on the gene annotations for the mouse and human IFN gene clusters on chromosome 4 and 9, respectively, with accompanying amino acid sequence alignments. Based on sequence identities, a phylogenic tree analysis for the different mammalian Type I IFNs is also presented, showing the high degree of relatedness among these IFNs. Notably, sequence alignment of the different human and mouse IFN promoter regions reveals different signature patterns for transcription factor binding sites, implying different inducers might differentially activate the transcription of the different IFNs.

There are several unknown pieces in the story Jesus shared. Did the rich man ever see Lazarus? Did Lazarus ever ask the rich man to help him? We don’t know. But Jesus placed Lazarus at the rich man’s door. Perhaps the rich man never went out that door. If someone is in our yard—for hours at a time—we are probably going to notice. Not hurting anything, not making noise, not getting in the way. Our tendency would be to leave the person alone. No way, we’ll call the police! They are trespassing. Might have a contagious disease. Could be a spy—or worse, a relative who wants to come in and freeload. The majority of us do not like unexpected visitors, especially if they are starving.
Since the story has a “slap in the face” kind of ending, there should be no doubt that the words are straight from the mouth of Jesus. Might ring a bell about when Jesus said, “Blessed are you who are poor, hungry and who weep.” “Woe to you who are rich, full and laughing.” Because there is a future when the opposite will happen. The rich man in the story was punished because he failed to see what he should have seen. How easily we can pass people who need our help because everybody else is passing them. “They’ll use the money for drugs.” Then don’t give them money—give them food. We can all be proud of the efforts made by several parishioners who feed the homeless on a regular basis. Takes commitment, dedication, humility. The effort is done with respect, not judging, no questions asked. If someone wants help, then help is offered. Otherwise, the food is free—from their pocket—through their charity. They not only pray for the poor, they feed the poor. Jesus knew that there would always be inequality among us. “The poor you will always have…” A very sad statement considering that there is enough so that no one needs to be hungry in the world. The poor are here to stay, but so is the challenge not to ignore them. Frankly, they are our ticket to heaven. We have choices—to look or to look the other way. Lazarus is all around.

Why Be Concerned About Deception? – Prepare the Way
Why Be Concerned About Deception?
Why am I so concerned about deception? Because I love and care about people. Deception steals, destroys and kills, even those with the best intention and strongest convictions! With all the deception in the world is there any doubt that bad things are going to happen to even good people – maybe just because they are deceived and not living in truth? In Hosea, it says that God's people perish for lack of knowledge of the truth. Do you see the necessity of building a Rock foundation on TRUTH to withstand the storms?
Deception has been around since satan deceived Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden! It is alive and well today. Deception is evil and ugly, even if it looks good on the outside. In reality, not everything is happy and nice like unicorns, flowers, and peace signs….even if we want to always think positive! I am not being negative; I am being realistic in truth. Hiding our heads in the sand or denying that we might possibly be deceived about some things will not help. Learning and facing hard truth will bring positive consequences. Wisdom is searching for the hard truth, repenting of error, and adjusting our lives to the Father's ways! It is a narrow road that few find….the worldly road is wide with many options and opinions.
Today with increased availability to "other ideas" through technology, communications and higher education, we have much to sort through. How will we know what is true? How will we know who and what to believe? How will we know we are not being deceived? Is truth important to you?

Moving from Product Vision to Strategy to Execution - Better Product by Innovatemap
A great product story always starts with a vision. But as we all know, it is those next steps that can be challenging and ultimately dictate whether a product becomes a success. And what exactly are those next steps and what is the best way to approach them?
We spoke with Hubert Palan, Founder and CEO of productboard, a product management system that enables teams to get the right products to market faster. Hubert is passionate about product strategy and has worked to fill a need was hearing repeatedly: that there was no clear definition of what a successful product strategy looked like.
So what has Hubert learned about product strategy through his experience with productboard? And why does starting with the right product idea make all of the difference? Listen in to hear Hubert's insights on product strategy that moves product makers from vision to execution.
Hubert Palan: Obviously, you should have relatively clear understanding how the worlds around the product looks like when you introduce the product into the world. So, that's the vision, but the strategy is what is the sequence of steps that I'm going to take in order to get to the vision so that I maximize the chances of getting there?
Anna: This product-
Christian: Are we recording?
Anna: Oh, my God. Better Product, the only show that takes a behind-the-scenes look into how digital products are created.
Christian: The businesses built around them and how you too can innovate better product. I'm Christian.
Christian: Welcome to today's show. A great product story always starts with a vision, but as we all know, it is those next steps that can be challenging and ultimately dictate whether a product becomes a success. And what exactly are those next steps and what is the best way to approach them? That's what we're going to focus on in today's conversation.
Anna: We talked with Hubert Palan, founder and CEO of productboard, a product management system that enables teams to get the right products to market faster. Ultimately, Hubert's goal with productboard is to help product makers understand what users need, prioritize what to build, and rally everyone around the roadmap.
Christian: Hubert is passionate about product strategy because in his experience there was no clear definition on what a successful product strategy looked like.
Hubert Palan: I knew I had a need. I knew that I was running around here at Silicon Valley, and I was ... The group of people that I hang out with are all the VP products and senior people in high-profile startups. And the more I talked to people, I realized that, "Wait a minute. There's actually not enough clarity on what a good product strategy looks like, and there's definitely not enough functionality." I started learning more and more about the use cases, and I started to learn about, "Okay. How is it that teams get aligned? And how is it that you communicate your product roadmap and product strategy to your board, and how is it that you communicate it to the rest of the company? How do you talk about partnerships from product strategy perspective?" and so on.
Anna: Those conversations served as a genesis for productboard and led Hubert on a journey to help product developers manage their strategy from vision to execution.
Christian: And just like many other product journeys we hear about, Hubert kept uncovering new opportunities for what productboard could ultimately be, leading he and his team to dig deeper to deliver the best product possible.
Hubert Palan: And so, all that informed my understanding and kind of shaped, obviously, the trajectory of productboard. But initially, the initial insight was like, "Come on. It's people, problems, products. Let's build a system that is going to have all these entities baked into it." But I didn't know how exactly it's going to look like. That evolved to this. It's like discovery, and then you deliver and discover again. And then, you deliver.
Anna: Today, productboard serves not only smaller startup product teams but large enterprise companies, and through this experience, Hubert has found that starting with the small problems before tackling the big ones equips his team with the necessary skills and experiences to meet the needs of their largest customers.
Hubert Palan: And so, within that we said, "Hey. Let's start with smaller teams. Let's start with the teams that are not that complex and to go from bottom up." And then, later on as we went to the market and we started to understand better the needs of the larger customers, then we started tackling those, and we'd go into bigger and bigger, bigger customers. And now we have large banks as companies and the largest enterprises in the world. And obviously, that up market pull will continue. But we were very, very deliberate about prioritizing the functionality so that we didn't start with the largest, more most complex ask of the biggest customers even though they were offering us the most money. But make sure that we first go bottom up and slowly build up the functionality and build on top of that.
Christian: So, what has Hubert learned about product strategy through these experiences? That is the story we're going to hear today along with a lot of other insights.
Anna: For example, why is it so important for everyone in a company to buy in on the purpose of a product, and what are the challenges associated with that alignment? And speaking of purpose, Hubert has some interesting thoughts on why everyone should want to make the right product. What exactly is the right product?
Christian: It stands to reason that the right product is probably a better product. Am I right?
Anna: Whoa. With that, let's dive in.
Christian: So, if you could summarize what you consider to be product strategy in sort of one sentence and maybe how it is different from a vision, what would that be?
Hubert Palan: What I mentioned is the vision is the long-term. How do you see the product? How does the product look like in the longer term? It was like five, 10 years, so basically it depends on the product. But that's the long-term vision, and then obviously, you should have relatively clear understanding how the worlds around the product looks like when you introduce the product into the world. So, that's the vision, but the strategy is what is the sequence of steps that I'm going to take in order to get to the vision so that I maximize the chances of getting there? So that I waste as little as possible along the way. So that I maximize the chances of winning in the competitive environment, right? Because, obviously, the landscape changes and so on.
Hubert Palan: So, did I minimize the chances that I build something that is not, that shouldn't be there? Because the vision can be misguided because you keep learning. It's not like now I have vision done, and now I go to strategy in order to execute it. It's a cycle. You keep iterating. And so, that's what that's for me the product strategy is, and you need to think about it. We were talking about product, product management, product strategy, but it's really overall it's, "Okay. What functionality am I going to launch?" But then also, "How am I going to message it? How am I going to communicate it? How am I going to price it?" All of a sudden, it's like, so now you're in the middle of the pricing strategy. Do you start pricing high, and then you go down market like Uber did or like Superhuman is doing I think? Or, do you start the opposite direction? And so, all this is part of the strategy.
Hubert Palan: And to your point, that I think that this is kind of what's being, what has been taught in marketing strategy class. So in the traditional world, in the before-digital world, if you talk to product managers at Procter & Gamble or Unilever or just like fast-moving consumer good companies, they've actually perfected this. They think strategically about, "How do we introduce new products to the market?" And we somehow haven't made fully the switch from the non-digital to the digital, or it seems like the people that are the digital project managers, they don't have the classical marketing strategy education because digital is now swarming everything, and there's such a big demand. There're just so many products that there's kind of lack of leadership, lack of education on it, and I feel like we haven't applied these lessons learned from the hardware or traditional fast-moving consumer goods products into the enterprise software world or into just like software world, digital world in general.
Hubert Palan: And so, I think that we just need to make sure that we surface it. And you can buy books on high-tech strategy, or you can buy books on marketing strategy and just like if you read them through the lens of, "I'm building a software digital product," you can directly apply those learnings and the concept of segmentation and how you should do market research and make sure that you understand the homogeneity of your target customers. And all that is directly applicable. It's just that there's very little, again, overall content in this specific arena of the digital world. There is very, very few examples. It's also challenging because companies don't want to talk about their wrong strategic mistakes, the mistakes that they've done, so it's kind of like a little more difficult to learn from the mistakes and from the failures. But there's sources. You just need to dig.
Christian: What it sounds like to me is that productboard was driven more based on a better way of doing things, but in a, I guess, "right way" of doing things, or as you said, "The best way to build product," as opposed to solving a distinct problem in the market. Would you agree with that, or am I misrepresenting that?
Hubert Palan: Well, the problem in the market is that I hope that everybody wants to make the right product, and it's like whatever your motivation is, right? Even if you're motivated by money and you just want to build a product that makes a buck, which I hope isn't most people, in my idealistic world. But even there, you're motivated to make the right decisions because if you build something that nobody needs, you're going to go under. And so, that's the market problem. It's obviously broad, so it's difficult to then, "Okay. So, this kind of obvious. We just want to make things that work and that people will want to buy and enjoy using and all of the emotional aspects and the aspect of delight to it." But that was the problem.
Hubert Palan: And then obviously, underneath is like, "So, let's figure out," like, "Let's understand better that there are these core jobs or core needs that need to be satisfied and that it is the insights and the listening piece of the customers." It is the prioritization strategy. What are the objectives? How am I going to decide what to build next? And then, the third piece is the execution, which is really roadmapping and planning and alignment, just to make sure that all this is covered.
Christian: So, yeah. No, that makes sense. And where I was going and sort of thinking about is because I imagine it's got to be challenging when you've got a better way of doing things, but it seems like even the problems you're describing that people have maybe aren't right in front of their face. So, I'd like to understand a little bit more, and maybe I've mischaracterized it again. But I'm curious on that subject how you sort of bridge that communication gap to your customers when you're actually trying to get them to adopt a product that they may never realize they needed before.
Hubert Palan: Yeah. So, I mean, so I hear you on the product. It's every time they're building a product that doesn't exist in a kind of category that doesn't exist, you face this challenge. Because if I showed up in 1980, and I asked you, "Hey, what CRM are you using?" you'd have a blank face because it wasn't until Tom Siebel invented it, and then this is Marc Benioff and his launch with Salesforce. But we are kind of in the same situation, right? Like, "Hey. What's your project management system?" and people don't know because it's a new category. The association doesn't exist.
Hubert Palan: But if you look at, if you observe the people, what is it that they do day-to-day, they do think about this, right? You as a product team hopefully, and especially as a senior product leader, spend time in product strategy sessions. You draw things on the whiteboards, and you gather inputs and insights from the team and all the other teams in the company to make sure that you understand. You kind of discuss that, and you set priorities. You just do it kind of with a far inferior solution, and you're doing it in a world where the volume of insights is growing exponentially.
Hubert Palan: We have all the online chats and intercoms, drafts, Zendesk, like all these. And so, the companies are bombarded more and more with insights and asks from customers, and then you just can't keep up if you're just going to be sitting there. And so, that's something that like when we were talking to our perspective customers, we helped them realize like, "Oh, my God. That's ... You're right." I'm like, "There's this modern army marching at me, and I'm sitting here with a stone and hammer, and that's ... I think like that I'm going to figure things out."
Hubert Palan: And so, it's like jobs to be done. The needs are relatively stable. They don't really change. You need to understand the customers. You need to make the decision, the right product position decision. You need to make sure that everybody understands why you're doing it so that everybody executes, and people are not running around in chaos. And so, once you kind of explain, "Hey. This is how you operate this." Like, "We're not changing your behavior. We're just telling you there's a better system that supports that." So, then, suddenly it clicks. It's like, "Oh, yeah. I get it. I get it."
Christian: Now, my next question is, and I ... Tell me how many employees do you, does productboard have now?
Hubert Palan: We're at hundreds.
Christian: So, how has that been challenged as you've scaled your team? So, when you sort of talk about the three pillars of a product vision, product strategy, product execution and delivery, how has that been challenged for you? What are the challenges that you've faced from that early vision of what you wanted to get done and then where you're at today over the past few years as you've grown in people?
Hubert Palan: It's kind of that it's hard, obviously, as you scale the team, and as the companies become more complex, the organization becomes more complex. The product organization, the product can become very complex. So, for us the good news is that actually we're our own Guinea pig, and we're obviously using product what and we're learning. And we were just saying like, "Hey. We started building product for ourselves, but sort of started with the product first, and we'll start up." And then as we go as we grow, we were just understanding intimately the needs of bigger teams because now we have ourselves, seven product teams, and it's not that different if you have seven or 14, or we have customers that have hundred product teams.
Hubert Palan: But the challenge there that I see as the biggest is the communication flow, and you need to create this shared understanding. And how do you make sure that there is this ... How do you describe it? Like the fabric in the company that allows everybody to understand the needs of the customers. Everybody can contribute and communicate what is it that they heard, and so that's challenging. It's like because there is always the translation piece. I talked about it before to translate from user researcher to project manager from project manager to demand and so on. It's the same thing. If you know the salesperson had a conversation, and now they're translating the insights to the product team, things get lost in translation then.
Hubert Palan: Then, you have new people who are on team. They have their little contacts. They don't have the long-term history. They haven't had enough time to think about the problem and understand the problem space. So, all this is kind of typical pain points of a fast-growing startup or a fast-growing company. And we're just learning, and we're making sure that, hey, well, whenever we stumble upon an issue like, "Hey, somebody didn't understand this problem," or like during the discovery, it seems like that the designs are not really meeting the needs, we go, and it's like, "Hey, what could we do? What is it that we can do in productboard? What is it that we can do the process? What is it that it means for the methodology and for the framework?" And so as we grow, we are just trying to make sure we that we adopt all of this process, this methodology.
Christian: Yeah. No, that's great. So, thinking ahead to the next five years, given your position overseeing a product manager's product, where do you see products headed? What's a one key trend, or is there any sort of shift that you're starting to see maybe over the next five years that sort of contrasts over what you've seen over the last five years?
Hubert Palan: Yeah. I mean there's a major ... The biggest shift is the digital transformation that is happening, and we've been talking about it for a while now. But Marc Andreessen Software's Eating the World is absolutely happening, and we hear from customers and companies that are from a completely traditional space, like your manufacturers of heavy machinery, bulldozers, right? And I was like, "Oh. How do we do e-commerce version, and how do we do kind of shared economy around that?" Or like, "How do we kind of follow all the latest, new go to the market digital world thinking?" And so, you're seeing many more chief product officers in the very kind of traditional companies or chief digital officers who ...
Hubert Palan: Because these companies realize that it's not any more than the software is just like an internal pool. It's not just, "Hey, we need a banking system because we are a bank, and we need to operate internally." The products are becoming revenue generation channels. It's like the product drives revenue, which suddenly requires a very different way of thinking. It's not the internal. It's not the way that Agile methodology was invented for, right? Agile methodology was invented for custom software development project. It's not the way. It's like you need to suddenly put on, as I mentioned, the marketing strategy hat and think about customer segmentation needs and all that and make sure that you really do it right because otherwise, there's all these new companies that are going to start competing with you, and you lose.
Hubert Palan: And so, that's like absolutely the biggest trend that we see, where old school, traditional companies are realizing, "Oh, shoot. How is it done? We need to adopt quickly." And the rise of, obviously, design driven, I mean it look like it's kind of like everybody has a take, right? Designers kind of started looking at this, like you said, and you focus on UX. So, if you talk to Alan Cooper at Cooper Design and personas and user centered design and all the design thinking, then it's all coming from the design world, which is, "Let's make sure that we designed the right products and so on." But the product managers are coming at it from the business feasibility, and is it really a business opportunity?
Hubert Palan: So, I just talked to a person who was like a senior UX designer at an agency, and he was saying, "It happened to us several times that we won a design award, and the design itself, some parts of interactions in the product were really incredible, but the product overall failed because the product strategy wasn't right. Overall, the scope of the product wasn't right. Pricing was off," and so on. And so, that's basically the job of product managers. And so, I think that this is what the companies realized, and that's why product is now part of C-suite. And that's why we see this ride and why you hear a lot about product-led companies as opposed to engineering-led or sales-led companies. In our world, this is a major trend.
Anna: Yeah. No, definitely. I think you're 100% right. I think, but, yeah. I agree with you. You saw the shift to UX, but now you're seeing that shift to the larger product strategy. I think you're 100% right.
Hubert Palan: And it's not. It's you need to do both.
Anna: Of course. Yeah, yeah.
Hubert Palan: It's not like one is more important than the other, right?
Hubert Palan: Design thinking and all the best practices there needs to stay, and we can actually just maybe in some cases even just amend them for the product thinking, and it's like, "Great that this was already invented," right? And the people are familiar with the techniques. Just kind of like, "Okay. Let's broaden it and have somebody who really represents the customer overall from both the UX perspective but also understands feasibility," and then adds the business aspect as well.
Hubert Palan: It's a product that satisfies the needs of the customer in a superior way. And there is, now we can go into what is superior, right? Because there's the functional needs. There's the emotional needs, so it's both the function and the aesthetic. And so, that's obviously something that we need to think about when we say "better product", consider both of these dimensions. And then, there's these dimensions: fast, right? Cheap, easy. There's something that eliminates cognitive friction. Something that eliminates physical friction. Something that eliminates kind of like the social awkwardness.
Hubert Palan: There's this model. BJ Fogg has a great model, a figure model. BJ Fogg is a professor at Stanford. And it was like six dimensions. Something that's safer. Something that makes people safer. So, there's all these dimensions, and so as long as you satisfy the needs better on one of these dimensions, or obviously you can satisfy better on multiple, that's what a better product is, and it's ... Look. The needs, again, don't change that much, but the way we solve them evolve, and we have better technology. We have better approaches. We understand design better. We understand consumer psychology better. We understand people better. So, then the results, if we do it right, better products.
Anna: So, Huber talked a lot about building a product where a product doesn't exist, and I think a lot of people out there are probably doing this, right? They're building something new. It doesn't have a category. It doesn't have a name. There is no prescribed processes around it, and he mentioned specifically Salesforce, right? If you go back in the '80s and ask someone what CRM they're using, they're like, "What's a CRM? Where'd you get that cell phone?"
Anna: "Are you a time traveler?"
Christian: "Why are you time traveling?"
Anna: "Why is your hair so flat?"
Anna: "Where are your shoulder pads? Obviously, you don't belong here." So, I guess, Christian, thinking about that, what were your thoughts around the idea of kind of building when there is no category or there is no preexisting competitor even?
Christian: Well, it was a good reminder that a lot of us, even with technology serving so many different facets of the business world, there's still a lot of things that we do that there isn't a product for. Even thinking personally how often we use say Dropbox Paper mixed with Airtable mixed with Gmail mixed with Slack, whatever it is, what he was kind of looking at is like, "All right. You're whiteboarding things. You're using different tools. You're handling face-to-face meetings when you're trying to strategize." There's a product in there that could facilitate all that, but there isn't something to position it against.
Christian: So, I think the first thing that struck me when he was talking about that was the actual name that he has, which is productboard. It's almost like it's about product, and then it's combined with a board but like a whiteboard. So, it's almost like using something physical that's familiar. In like five years, if this category that Hubert's in becomes a big thing, you could see names that don't have to leverage like something physical in the beginning. So, that was the first thing I thought about was just how even the name itself is leveraging something tangible, which I think is a good hook for people to understand, "Oh. This is actually tied to something that I'm doing day to day."
Anna: So, really it's a tieback to how people initially named software companies. It was always a smashing together of two words. So, I like how he was mentioning that every function in a company has a system of record, but product doesn't, which I think is a really good point. But he didn't just set out to build a product, he wanted to build a product and help people specifically build product the right way. It's very philosophy driven. So, I would think we've seen that. We've seen that with clients. We've seen that with people we've talked to on the show, but what do you think-
Christian: Name one.
Anna: Greenlight Guru.
Anna: Nick Tippmann.
Christian: Nailed it.
Anna: Yep. Thanks. I'll be here all day. So, a philosophy different product in a new space, it sounds kind of risky. What are your thoughts about that?
Christian: Yeah. I think it is risky. It's there's so many aspects of it because you have to try to communicate that he talks about translating what people are doing, so he has to figure out the way that he interprets what the customers are doing and then translating it back to them. If you're trying to move somebody say off of a physical whiteboard, that's a hard thing to do.
Christian: The other thing I thought about is a lot of experience we have with founders, and sometimes you get the sort of pie in the sky like ... Sometimes we get these founders that are kind of in the clouds and can't come down, and they have this sort of world view. I mean we all have been there where we have some grand idea and then try to think about, "Oh. If everybody just did everything this way." That line of thinking can get you in a lot of trouble. So, I think when you have a grand way of doing things, one thing that helps is to sort of ... Right? He talked about it. I mean the practice what you preach or what? I'm trying to say, "Eat your own dog food," like that. He mentioned it-
Christian: ... in there that they are users-
Anna: They-
Christian: ... themselves.
Anna: Well, they, yeah. They built it for themselves.
Anna: I mean they were product people. They saw that there was a gap, and I mean going back to what we talked about with Justin Bauer, I mean he was a product manager who was, or who would have been, a very early user of Amplitude based on the startups that he came from. And I think we're hearing this more and more is this idea of when founders, when early team members are solving product problems that they have, they're subject matter experts, and they can really rely a lot on their intuition and what they know is the right way to get something done.
Christian: It's not that I don't know that we have a lot of great answers for how to handle building a product that's based on a philosophy. I mean it's almost just being aware of it.
Anna: Well, when it comes to building a product based on a philosophy, I think what Hubert saw here is that people have been building product, obviously, for a really long time, and I think really the big gap in the market was the philosophy, right? People are using Trello. People are using Jira. People are using all these tools to just organize, and there was nothing out there that's like really helping you build from a philosophical standpoint. I think what he did is say, "I'm going to take something and build it specifically for product managers as opposed to product managers just kind of jumping on other tools that are just built to be very, very general."
Christian: Yeah. One of the other things to be aware of when you're building a product based on philosophy is that some of the value props that you have for that product might take a long time to manifest. It's really easy in some of the marketing tech world to build a product that can have value because you have digital attribution, and you can actually plug numbers in and say, "Look. This is how successful you were." But when you're building a philosophy out and then you're building a product based off of that, you not only have to tell people what it does, but you have to help them understand how to even judge whether it's doing a good job for you.
Christian: It's kind of like if we think about what Pieter Omvlee talked about with Sketch Tools. Design tools is really challenging because when you're building design tools, it's hard to prove that, "Hey. Did I do a better job at my design because I used Sketch? I don't really know." So, you can't really hinge a product on the same sort of things that you might be able to in other cases.
Christian: It's like Greenlight Guru, for example. In Greenlight Guru, they're trying to reduce the amount of time it takes to test a medical device in QA. That's got really easy metrics that you can tie to it. You can say, "Well, it took longer, and we can prove that." With something like productboard, you're creating something entirely new, so you're almost having to create analytics and metrics to go along with it that you're almost like giving somebody a dictionary to go along with it to say, "Here's a product that's going to help you, and then here's how to know whether it's doing a good job for you." It's a lot to take on.
Anna: So, in this product management ecosystem, I think the philosophy of building a good product has outpaced the tool. The tools have not kept up with the philosophy, and I think he's coming in here to say, "It's time for the tools to match the philosophy." We all, as a product management community, know how to build a great product. We're a mature enough role at this point that we know how to do things right, but our tools have not kept up with us. And I think maybe thinking about that as a trend, if you see a space in the philosophy of how to do something right, there're not tools to support it that way, that's an opportunity to be taken.

The exploration of history, geography, politics, economics, culture, and human thought creates an appreciation of our world and a sensitivity to its many peoples. The department feels that the study of the Social Sciences helps each student to better understand the Jesuit mission of the promotion of faith that does justice by focusing on issues of social justice throughout history.
The progression of courses in the Social Science department seeks to develop the fundamental social studies skills of critical reading, writing, and thinking. In lower division courses, study skills such as efficient note taking, close reading, and proper study strategies are also reinforced. Upper division courses stress research, composition, and oral presentation skills.
The Social Science Department offers rigorous honors and AP courses to challenge top students in a number of fields. AP course offerings are available sophomore, junior and senior year. Classes are intended for students interested in pursuing studies in these particular fields in greater depth. Informed Enrollment is employed for honors/AP courses, meaning that interested students must first solicit feedback from their current teacher, parents and counselor, and secure counselor approval, prior to enrollment.
All freshmen must take either Rhetoric or World History: Axial Age to the 1700s.
World History: Axial Age to the 1700s
UC / CSU Approved?
Rhetoric Semester Yes
Course Description: This course will provide the student with an introduction to various written and oral techniques of persuasion, argumentation, exposition, discussion, and analysis of controversial current issues. Students will further develop their reading, writing, speaking, and listening skills, and learn how to research, analyze and organize materials for effective oral presentation and argument.
Comments: Enrollment is limited to those students who apply and are accepted to the course. The pace of this course will be rapid and is designed for the student who is both self-motivated and very disciplined in study skills. Excellent time management skills are required. Students who wish to pursue the competitive speech and debate program are especially encouraged to take this course.
World History: Axial Age to the 1700s Semester Yes
Course Description: This Freshman course will begin the student's exploration of World History covering material from the Axial Age through to the mid 1700s, though the intent is not to provide a comprehensive survey. Instead, individual units will focus on particular civilizations and cultures from around the globe during specific periods in order to highlight the themes of the World History sequence: Humans and the Environment, Cultural Development and Interaction, State Building and Expansion, Development of Economic Systems, Development of Social Structures, and Issues of Justice. Particular attention will be paid to the student's development of a strong foundation in active reading and writing, as well as the use and interpretation of historical sources.
Comments: Standard freshman-level Social Sciences course.
All sophomores must take either Modern World History or World History AP.
Modern World History: 1750 to Present
Modern World History: 1750 to Present Year Yes
Course Description: In the fall semester, this course will continue the thematic exploration of global history over the course of the Long Nineteenth Century (from approximately 1750 to 1918). The course strives to balance discussion of the historical development of Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe. Students will expand their ability to compare between civilizations and societies as well as their ability to analyze the processes and reasons for change. Students will develop a greater ability to analyze various types of primary documents and concentrate on crafting strong interpretive paragraphs. In the spring semester, this course will extend the thematic exploration of global history from early 20th Century to present day events and situations. The course will explore the factors contributing to as well as the political and social effects of increasingly globalized economies. The course will extend the students ability to analyze primary documents and their use in supporting interpretations of history. Development of writing skills will focus on analytic essay writing and research. A variety of teaching modalities are used including: lecture/discussion, individual and group projects, and audio-visual presentations.
Comments: Standard sophomore-level Social Sciences course.
World History AP Year Yes
Course Description: This course seeks to develop a greater understanding of the evolution of global processes and contacts, as well as interactions between different societies/cultures. Primarily, the course seeks to build an understanding of the cultural, political, ideological, and economic developments that have shaped the past thousand years of the global experience. The class will identify global patterns by linking and comparing local developments and following causal and cultural connections. Special attention will be paid to assessing claims of universal standards while remaining aware of cultural diversity and historical context. The course will attempt to balance development of analytical skills and factual knowledge through a variety of instructional techniques.
Comments: Informed Enrollment. This class is intended for students interested in studying world history in depth. Although the course will prepare students to take the AP exam, they are not required to do so.
All juniors must take either U.S. History or U.S. History AP.
United States History Year Yes
Course Description: This is a survey course in American history that begins in 1900 and will cover, in varying degrees of depth, the Spanish American War to the present. It assumes that American history is important for its own sake - an epic and unique tale of human experience in a vast land, now teeming with more than 200 million people. Beyond this, our history provides an object lesson in how past affects present, or rather, how a series of pasts has changed a series of presents in an unending pattern of development.
Comments: Standard junior-level Social Sciences course.
United States History AP Year Yes
Course Description: A survey of American History from the age of discovery to the end of the Reagan presidency. Emphasis is placed on the interpretation of history. Students will develop the ability to analyze historical events and learn the importance of cause and effect in historical study. Supplementary readings are assigned in this course to facilitate the development of the aforementioned skills. In addition, research assignments are given, which include several essays in the first semester, class presentations in both semesters, and a term paper in the second semester. The course text and supplementary readings are typical of those assigned to college freshmen.
Comments: Informed Enrollment. This class is open to any and all students interested in studying United States history in depth. However, it is not recommended for students with lower than a 3.0 GPA and is questionable for students with lower than a 3.5 GPA. The course is designed to approximate the work of a college freshman class, both in terms of the amount of weekly reading assigned and in the expectations of intellectual and analytical abilities possessed by the student. The class moves at a very fast pace, so students who tend not to accomplish work on time are discouraged from taking the class. Students will be required to take the AP exam at the end of the year.
All seniors must take two semesters of Social Studies and may choose from the following electives:
African American Experience 1 (1619-1860)
African American Experience 2 (1860-Present)

Conflict in the Modern World
Economics Honors (Proposed for 2019-2020)

Psychology (Introduction to)
African American Experience 1 (1619-1860) Semester Yes
Course Description: This course will trace the black experience from its origins in western Africa, through the transatlantic journey that ended in slavery, into the dawn of freedom for these Americans. While examining pioneers and seminal figures in the struggle for freedom, we will study the geographic, social, ethnic, economic, and cultural journey of these African Americans. Primary reading sources, including slave journals, poetry, diaries, autobiographies, letters, and newspaper articles, will be examined.
Comments: Elective.
African American Experience 2 (1860-Present) Semester Yes
Course Description: This course will trace the African American experience from the Civil War to the present with an emphasis on the geographic, social, ethnic, economic, and cultural journey of "these other Americans." In addition to focusing on pioneers and seminal figures, we will examine black contributions and conflicts during the following time periods: Reconstruction, the Jim Crow era, the Great Migration, the Harlem Renaissance, 20th Century Wars, and the Civil Rights Movement. We will conclude the course by examining contemporary issues and concerns of African Americans.
Comments: Elective. Completion of African American Experience 1 is not required.
Proposed for 2019-2020 Year
Course Description: AP Art History offers students the opportunity to discover anew the world in which they live. The course will cover the period of time beginning with the Paleolithic period and ending with Postmodernism. By examining works of art from diverse cultures and the relationships among these works, students develop an understanding of global artistic traditions. Students analyze works of art in their contexts, considering issues of patronage, gender, politics, religion, and ethnicity. The interpretation of the work of art is based upon its intended use, audience, and the role of the artist and the work of art in its particular society. Students will expand their knowledge of history, geography, politics, religion, languages, and literature, as they explore the story of people as told through the art they created. Students will take a field trip to the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco as part of the course.
Comments: Elective. Informed Enrollment. Art History AP is not an NCAA-approved course. The vast majority of BCP students will have enough "additional courses" to be eligible under NCAA guidelines, but any student looking for potential NCAA eligibility should double-check with their College Counselor.
This class is intended for students who are interested in, and willing to commit themselves to, a challenging course in Art History. Students are required to take the AP exam at the end of the course. This course may be taken for either Social Science credit OR Visual/Performing Arts credit, but not both.
California History Semester
Course Description: This course seeks to provide students with an examination of the history of the State of California in the 20th century through the lenses of four themes: immigration, environment, industry and the progressive experiment. The course will make considerable use of an investigative approach to history in each unit as students will identify the historical questions they want to explore and resolve by the end of the unit. In order to link broader movements to local experiences, special attention will be paid to the development of the South Bay area, and Bellarmine College Preparatory in particular. Over the course of the semester, students will be required to complete an oral history of an alumnus of the school.
Conflict in the Modern World Semester Yes
Course Description: This course will use a cross-disciplinary approach to examine the roots of conflict in the modern world. Historical, economic, political, and especially cultural perspectives will be applied to theory and case studies to better understand why the twentieth century has been plagued with so many wars, revolutions, uprisings, and violent movements. Case studies will focus on Asia, Latin America, and Africa. Specific cases will include Vietnam, El Salvador, South Africa, Israel/Palestine, and Northern Ireland. Instruction will be primarily lecture and discussion of readings.
Comments: Elective. Students will need strong research and note-taking skills, and an interest in history, culture and social justice issues.
Economics Semester Yes
Course Description: An introduction to the basic concepts of the discipline of Economics, this course involves both theoretical and practical approaches to the realm of scarcity and exchange. The course focuses on the macroeconomic principles of supply and demand, Gross Domestic Product, aggregate demand, inflation, unemployment, fiscal and monetary policy, money and banking systems, international trade, and investing.
Proposed for 2019-2020 Semester
Course Description: This single-semester course is intended to give students an introductory understanding of the principles of economics. Economics Honors focuses on economic behavior, economic institutions, market structures and interactions, economic statistics and models, public policy, fiscal and monetary policy, financial and banking systems, trade, and personal finance. Students will develop a deep conceptual understanding of the subject and critical thinking skills that will be applied to real world problems and issues of justice.
Comments: Elective. Interested students should be prepared for a rigorous, college-paced course that requires strong and analytical reading skills, as well as graphical analysis. The course text, supplementary readings, and assignments are typical of those offered in a (college) freshman economics course, including research projects, problem sets, and policy debates.
European History AP Year Yes
Course Description: The AP European History Course is a year-long introduction to the major cultural, political, economic and social developments that have shaped Europe from 1450 to the present. If you are interested in the period of history when Europe emerged from the early Renaissance to ride Imperialism and Industrialism, became the ascendant region on the globe and then plunged itself into destructive world war, ideological battles, and ethnic terror, then this is the class for you. In addition to a college-level text, course materials will include art, music and literature.
Comments: Elective. Informed Enrollment. This class is intended for students who are willing to dedicate themselves to a college-level Liberal Arts course. Students are required to take the AP exam at the end of the course.
Feminist Issues through US History Semester Yes
Course Description: This course will examine how women's and men's roles have been defined by societal pressures and beliefs, focusing particularly on gender roles through US history. More specifically, we will explore how and why women are treated differently than men, and the benefits and/or consequences of that differential treatment.This course will include much group discussion, some lectures, student presentations, reading and written work, and watching and analyzing several movies. Gender roles will be studied through the following units: Feminism/Waves of Feminism, Reproductive Rights/Health Issues, Work and Family, Education, Images of Women and Men in the Media, Violence, and Politics. Merriam-Webster's Word of the Year for 2017 was feminism…let's explore why together!
Latino American Studies 1 Semester
Course Description:This course explores Latino American experiences from pre-Columbian civilizations up to the advent of the Chicano Movement. It is an interdisciplinary course that investigates the diversity of Latino culture as it is conditioned by the intersections of race, class, gender, sexuality, regional variation and power. Areas of focus in the course will include a study of the Aztec, Maya, Inca and Taino civilizations, the European colonial period from the 1500-1800s, the independence movements of the 19th century, and the Latino experience in the United States up to the 1960s.
Latino American Studies 2 Semester TBD
Course Description: This course will address the historical, political and economic factors that contribute to the formation of Latinos today. Through a counter-hegemonic curriculum, this class will provide a historical and political analysis of Latino people's quest for self-determination and social justice. Areas of focus in the course include contemporary immigration patterns and policy, the Central American civil wars of the 80s, Liberation Theology, the indigenous rights movement, United States interventionism, and the exploration of cultural expressions through art, literature, music and film.
Comments: Elective. Completion of Latino American Studies 1 is not a requirement.
Macroeconomics AP Semester Yes
Course Description: This single semester course is intended to give students a thorough understanding of the principles of economics that apply to an economic system as a whole and prepare students for the AP exam. The course follows the AP curriculum and places a particular emphasis on the study of national income and price-level determination, and also develops students' familiarity with economic performance measure, the financial sector, stabilization policies, economic growth and international economics. The course will meet the needs of a variety of students, from those intending to pursue college work in business and seeking a firm foundation in theory to those wanting to understand their role in the national economy.
Comments: Elective. Informed Enrollment. Open to any senior willing to dedicate himself to a college-level course. Students will be expected to do the reading and come to class prepared to participate.
Psychology (Introduction to) Semester Yes
Course Description: A survey of the scientific study of human behavior covering experiments, observations, and theories relating to individual differences, personality, development, motivation, social behavior, deviant behavior, genetics, physiology of behavior, learning and cognitive processes, and sensory and perceptual processes. Discussion often centers around major social problems and psychologists' efforts to characterize and solve these problems.
Psychology AP Year Yes
Course Description: The AP Psychology is a year-long course designed to introduce students to the systematic and scientific study of the behavior and mental processes of human beings and other animals. Students are exposed to the psychological facts, principles, and phenomena associated with each of the major subfields within psychology. Students also learn about the ethics and methods psychologists use in their science and practice. The goal is to provide the student with a learning experience equivalent to that obtained in most college introductory psychology courses. The following describes the major content areas covered in the class and the AP Psychology exam: History and Approaches, Research Methods, Biological Bases of Behavior, Sensation and Perception, States of Consciousness, Learning, Cognition, Motivation and Emotion, Developmental Psychology, Personality, Testing and Individual Differences, Abnormal Psychology, Treatment of Psychological Disorders, and Social Psychology.
Comments: Elective. Informed Enrollment. This class is intended for students who are interested in studying psychology in depth. Although the course will prepare students to take the AP exam, it is not required that they do so.
U.S. Government and Politics AP Semester Yes
Course Description: This course offers qualified students a critical perspective on politics and government in the United States. This class involves both the study of general concepts used to study the American system of government and specific case studies. Students will become knowledgeable about the various institutions, groups, beliefs, and ideas that make up Americans' reality. A special emphasis will be placed upon the Constitution, political parties, interest groups, the key institutional and policy processes of the national government, civil rights, civil liberties and core political values. Teaching strategies will include covering current events, debates, discussions, reading analytically, oral presentations, case studies, lectures and attending political events.
Comments: Elective. Informed Enrollment. This class is intended for students who are interested in studying government in depth. Whereas the class will certainly prepare the student for the AP exam, taking the AP test is not a course requirement.

Great lessons, Stephanie. Especially that first one. I think that way too many parents clean up their kid’s messes for them.
I don’t really know you at all beyond this lovely bloggy friendship we have, Steph, so please don’t take the following assessment personally: I think we get lots of opportunities to work on the Christ-like qualities we may be a little thin on. So I get loads of chances to keep my pride in check, and to keep a handle on my temper, and to watch my language, and to address my tendency to procrastinate anything that isn’t beating my door down. And you get…what? I don’t know. But the fact that it keeps happening could maybe possibly mean…
Or maybe your kids are just klutzy. My 16 year old still drops every third glass she handles. It certainly gives me a chance to keep a handle on my temper, and to watch my language…

Smartphones are pretty impressive little devices, but there is one feature that has evaded several of them over the years — FM radio. Of course, that is not because of a lack of hardware — in fact, all smartphones actually have FM radios built right into them, but not too many manufacturers actually enable them. LG is changing that, through a partnership with NextRadio. Meanwhile the world's only smartphone with DAB+ is not the success hoped for.
Nautel Limited has shipped six additional high-power DRM-enabled Medium Wave transmitters for deployment at All India Radio, the largest digital broadcasting system in the world. Four 100 kW NX100 and two 200 kW NX200 transmitters were shipped to India in July 2017 for installation in six cities.
Fijians in all islands can now tune in to the recently installed and clearer AM (Medium wave) broadcast on two main radio stations. Through this upgrade Fiji had now achieved a 100 per cent coverage for all outer islands. The new transmission $15 million facility is managed by Fiji Broadcasting Corporation and funded by the government of Japan will air programmes on both Radio Fiji One and Gold stations.
switchover has increased. An increasing number of people question the ten year decision-making process that led the politicians to the internationally unique decision to close the FM network. The Office of the Auditor General (OAG) has now received a request for review of the parliament (Stortinget) decision on the FM closure.
All present 103 licenses to broadcast commercial FM radio expires on 31 July 2018. It is now possible to apply for new licenses at the Swedish media authority for an upcoming 8 years license period (1 August 2018–31 July 2026). Three national broadcasting licenses and 35 regional/local licenses in 21 regional broadcasting areas are announced.
According to statistics from Ookla, Norway has now the world's fastest mobile network. After hard competition between operators Norway has gone from 11th place to first place in one year. The average data rate on mobile has increased by 69% and now stands at 52.6 megabits per second. - Telenor, Telia and Ice.net have recently invested billions in the development of their 4G/LTE networks reaching all Norwegians. Moreover, the geographical coverage is better than for terrestrial radio as DAB+.
Public broadcaster RTHK will formally pull the plug on final digital radio services on September 3. Its analogue FM radio service will remain. The Commerce and Economic Development Bureau said in a press release However, the retreat of the three commercial DAB operators in a short period of time due to difficulties in their operation and the lack of a critical mass of audience demonstrated the exhaustion of interest in the services.
Three new AM radio stations are due to launch in Copenhagen on medium wave within the next couple of months. No on air date has been decided yet. The stations NB24, World Music Radio and Radio 208 will be broadcasting on 846 kHz (300 W), 927 kHz (300 W) and 1440 kHz (power not yet confirmed). Two of the stations will be music based and the third station will be all talk according to Stig Hartvig Nielsen. - - The digital radio switch to DAB+ will make a lot of incompatible DAB receivers obolete. Some listeners might shift to their old receivers with AM and FM rather than upgrade to DAB+
As the first and still only country in the world Norway is trying to replace FM radio with DAB+ by forcing the listeners over to this technology. This might end up as an embarrasing mistake by the politicians.
According to a survey commissioned by the newspaper Dagbladet, as many as 60 percent of the radio listeners are not satisfied with the transition to DAB. 16 percent said they do not know what they like about the transition, while 24 percent are satisfied. Dissatisfaction is widely distributed across the country. Also in areas where public broadcaster NRK has not yet closed the FM transmitters.
The Swedish company Spotify has added 20 million paid subscribers in less than a year, while it’s taken Apple Music more than a year and a half to make that progress. Spotify now has 60 million subscribers, compared to Apple Music’s 27 million. Together with the ad-supporter free service the total listening base for Spotify worldwide now is 140 million.
DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) is one of several systems for terrestrial digital radio. It was developed as early as in the 1980s in Munich and was launched 1995 by some European public service companies with the BBC, NRK and SR leading. The intention was from the beginning that DAB would supplement analogue FM radio with increased sound quality, primarily in cars, but over time this goal became quantitative insofar as DAB could offer many more channels than FM. This became however detrimental to the sound quality.
The game changed significantly around the turn of the millennium with audio being distributed over the Internet. All this development was accentuated in Sweden when mobile broadband on 4G became well established in the 2010s. Here, WiFi in homes and in public environments is also driving forces. In your smartphone, smart speaker or connected car, you can listen to more than a thousand times more radio and music channels than via a DAB network. Also with access to channels with much better sound quality.
In the world's approximately 220 nations and territories, analogue broadcasting technology is still the main platform for radio. Mainly FM, but in several countries there is still also medium wave (AM). The shortwave is still used for international, national and regional reach.
A fundamental problem with the decades of attempts to launch the DAB system is the lack of listener figures in order to display a real consumer interest. Proponents of DAB list all countries where the DAB system is introduced, but often it is about trial broadcasts in one or a couple of cities. As for example in Romania, Spain and Turkey.
25 years after its launch, DAB has been established for nationwide radio in only four (4) European countries; Great Britain, Norway, Denmark and Switzerland. Established here means that a nationwide transmitter network has been built up that reaches the majority of the population, but at the same time has a significant proportion of radio listening; at least a 15 percent share on a weekly basis. Germany and the Netherlands, for example, have nationwide networks, but have limited DAB listening as FM and Internet radio have larger shares.
The only country outside Europe with a significant share of DAB listening is Australia, where the five major cities are covered by DAB networks. But still Australia will retain both the main FM and AM platforms.
To date, approximately 82 million DAB receivers have been sold since the technology was launched in 1995. Most have been sold in the United Kingdom, Denmark and Norway. A significant proportion of these sets can only receive the original system DAB, which since been abandoned in all countries except the United Kingdom. Other countries have adopted the upgraded version DAB+.
It is estimated that by 2020 there are at least 6 billion FM receivers in the world and 2.5 billion smartphones. Today, smartphones have become the major listening platform for radio alongside FM radio.
The rapid development of podcast radio is also important. "Broadcasting" like FM and DAB is outside the podcast sphere. DAB is completely linear, lacks play functions, i.e. the ability for listeners to listen to their favorite programs when they choose (as well as to pause and repeat as needed).
It has become almost impossible to measure consumer interest in receiver equipment for DAB because most stationary receivers marketed today have capabilities for both FM and DAB. However, sales of stationary and portable radio receivers have steadily decreased, which in itself is a global system change.
Mobile manufacturers have so far been reluctant to include DAB in their smartphones. Attempts to include DAB in smartphones have not been successful. A DAB receiver consumes significantly more energy than a corresponding FM receiver. The decisive reason is that a global consumer market for DAB has not developed. It is estimated that less than one (1) percent of the world's population today listens to radio via DAB.
It is highly unlikely that DAB ever will be accepted in the world's eleven largest nations; China, India, the United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia, Mexico and Japan, which together muster half the world's total population.
Several countries have chosen or are choosing other digital systems for terrestrial radio such as DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) and HD Radio. This is because these systems use current frequency bands for FM (VHF II) as well as short and medium wave (HF). Here you get a transmitter range that is superior to DAB, which can only be transmitted on the higher frequency band (VHF III) previously intended for television. Short range means that investing in DAB transmitters will be too expensive outside the largest cities. This has already been noted in India, Pakistan, Brazil and Russia.
Norway occupies a world-unique position as the only country where FM has been replaced by DAB for its national network. Switzerland might follow suit 2023. Among the countries that have previously trialed DAB and/or declined public investment at national level are Canada, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Portugal, Spain, Latvia, Hungary, Finland, Sweden, Ireland and New Zealand.
The development of mobile broadband means the most striking change for the distribution of audio and video media, including radio. It means a waste of society's resources to build special DAB networks alongside all the 4G and 5G networks that are now being expanded everywhere. Unlike DAB, mobile networks are used for communication and other utilities not only distributing radio programs that are largely characterized by entertainment (music and sports).
As early as the end of this year, there are 220 million 5G subscriptions and more than 1 billion people, about 15 percent of the world's population, are in areas with 5G coverage. The forecast for 2026 is that the number of 5G subscriptions will amount to 3.5 billion, about 40 percent of all mobile subscriptions globally. 60 percent of the world's population is then expected to have 5G coverage, according to The 2020 Ericson Mobility Report.
Trial broadcasts with radio over 5G have been taking place for a couple of years. For example BBC is conducting successful trials in Scotland.
The lobby organization WorldDAB, together with various private and state interests, has succeeded in enforcing an EU provision that car radio receivers in new passenger cars (not buses and lorries) must be able to receive "terrestrial digital radio". Even if DAB is not mentioned in the regulation, car manufacturers are forced to equip passenger cars with DAB (then becomes a complement to FM and the Internet). However, this is contrary to EU competition rules as there are also other systems for terrestrial digital radio, e.g. the European DRM system. The new technology 5G Broadcast will probably also be classified as "terrestrial digital radio".
The lobby is also courting governments in major European countries i.e. Germany and Italy for new regulations forbidding FM only receivers for sale on a national market. DAB should always be included, even if there is Internet/Bluetooth/WiFi capacity embedded.
The DAB promoters have also with great enthusiasm adopted "hybrid radio", as all three platforms are available in the car radio; terrestrial analog (FM) resp. digital radio (DAB etc) and via mobile broadband. Hybrid radio then receives seamlessly and automatically via the platform which is best received. The radio listener thus does not need to know if she/he is listening to FM, DAB or the Internet.
In the absence of proven consumer interest, the lobby continues to confuse decision-makers claiming that “DAB” is needed for “digital listening” in cars. The truth is, however, that hybrid radio is good enough without DAB. There is nothing to suggest that FM and mobile broadband in cars are not enough for channel choice and sound quality.
In response to inquiries about digital radio, shortcomings with the DAB system have often been noted, but according to the proponents, there are not any problems with DAB at all. The criticism in the public debate, in the press or on social media has never been met professionally, either by special interests, authorities or political leaders.
About fifty market problems and technical shortcomings with DAB were presented in 2019 by a Nordic working group in a report from the independent think tank Public Service Council in Sweden: DAB facts 2019 - Crucial problems and disadvantages with the digital system DAB for terrestrial sound broadcasting.
The inconvenient facts in the internationally disseminated report have never been disputed by any DAB stakeholder or promoter. The silence is compact and appears to be strategic.
Since the national radio FM networks were closed in Norway, it has turned out that DAB does not perform as promised. In newspapers and social media insufficient coverage and many interruptions ”drop-outs" are frequently reported by listeners . Half the amount of the 30 or so DAB channels each have less than a 2% listener share 2020. The two commercial broadcasters German Bauer and Swedish NENT, now only on DAB, have had significantly worse financial results, while local radio, which is still available on FM, is doing better than in many years.The forced change in technology has irritated many radio consumers, who want to make their own choices.
There are also many questions left as to whether the level of emergency preparedness (EAS) has deteriorated in Norway due to a shift to DAB. NRK has so far refused to release a documented risk and vulnerability analysis (ROS).
In the absence of market-driven consumer demand, lobbying interests took shortcuts directly to politicians and other decision-makers. Politicians in Stortinget (the parliament), as well as many culture ministers, were incited by the term "digital radio" and led by the light of lobbyists.
The unique decision by Stortinget to replace nationwide FM networks with DAB was made after a coup-like campaign by a limited number of people in the “radio industry” who have found their own personal advantages with a technology shift. With the help of PR expertise and a semi-government company “Digital Norge AS” (today transformed into an Internet oriented entity Norsk Radio AS), the special interests succeeded through a collusion to set the agenda and control the entire process. The European lobby organization WorldDAB was the major outside resource.
Neither the Ministry of Culture nor the media authority Medietilsynet took into account information or facts from any objective sources independent of the DAB stakeholders. This has now been confirmed after communication with those concerned. Thus, the parliament decision was entirely based upon the agenda och facts provided by DAB stakeholders.
Politicians and government officials seem to have completely and uncritically trusted the DAB stakeholders. This is not so surprising because one of the actors behind DAB is alsoNorway's most important news provider; NRK. The tax-financed public service broadcaster exerts a strong influence on the officials in the Ministry of Culture and the media authority. Criticism of DAB has not been allowed by NRK, even internally.
The hasty and scandalous closure of FM has been swept under the rug by all political parties except the opposition party Senterpartiet (SP). Interestingly enough, prior to the 2021 election SP has now sailed into public opinion as one of the largest parties in Stortinget.
It should be interesting for political scientists to study in more detail why all parliamentary parties in Sweden rejected the proposal to close FM, while most parties in Norway gave the go-ahead. In Sweden there was no organized DAB lobby as in Norway. In Sweden there was a greater input breadth by independent authorities, scientific institutions and also more vivid discussion in public media. The qualified review of the National Audit Office definitely killed the proposal.
Citizens' interests can be said to have been grossly disregarded when the Norwegian state administration gave in to the special interests. It has been claimed that the decision was democratic. But this can be strongly questioned because the basis for the decision was manipulated by the stakeholders. The decision was not democratic, other than in the formal sense. Radio listeners in Norway are now being stuck with the unmatchable card.
Test DAB transmissions took place already 1992 in Stockholm and it became official in 1995. Although three investigations have since addressed the issue of replacing FM radio with DAB, no progress has been made. In 2015, an unanimous Riksdag (all eight parties) rejected the latest inquiry's proposal to replace FM with DAB. It is basically a question of whether the state should finance such a transition for the public service broadcaster Sveriges Radio (SR).
However, there is no ban on broadcasting DAB in Sweden and today private networks Bauer and NENT also broadcast on DAB, with a permit issued in 2014. SR continues to broadcast DAB with its temporary permit in four different areas. However, DAB are so unknown by the Swedes that listening share havs never been reported. FM and the Internet continue to dominate radio listening in Sweden. Inside sources at SR estimate that today about half of the listening to SR's programs is via the Internet (fixed and mobile broadband).
In Sweden, as in a large part of the world, "digital radio" is now synonymous with radio via the Internet. There are currently no initiatives in Sweden to put DAB back again as an issue of the political agenda.
WorldDAB is an organization that aims to promote the DAB radio standard. The members mainly consist of public service broadcasters, commercial radio companies, electronics manufacturers etc.
WorldDAB main office is in London, but is legally headquartered in Geneva at the same address as the European Broadcasting Union. The EBU is an interest organization for public service broadcasters. The organization has no affiliation with the EU and its institutions, but has a well-staffed lobby office in Brussels. Like Fifa and similar organizations in Switzerland, WorldDAB and the EBU lack the openness and transparency required in a democratic society. This is despite the fact that both organizations are indirectly but largely financed by tax and license payers in Europe.
To our knowledge WorldDAB has never been examined and questioned, despite the fact that slanted information, withholding of facts and effective illusion-making have been more the rule than the exception.
A significant part of the facts about DAB published in different languages on Wikipedia derives from one and the same source, namely WorldDAB.
When persuading politicians and officials in a country the WorldDAB selling point is its own story of a successful introduction of DAB in other countries. But such a success never includes listeners. This hard sale that might lead to tragic consequences in several countries investing in a technology which will not provide any detectable cultural, societal or industrial benefits. Pushing poverty-stricken countries like Northern Macedonia, Tunisia, Colombia and South Africa to invest in DAB must be seen as reprehensible.
In 2016, the Public Service Council recommended that political decision-makers think twice before being persuaded to decide on a transition to DAB technology. They should seek advice from independent economic and technical experts, who are not affiliated with the EBU, WorldDAB and other stakeholders. How much money will such a stillborn prestige project cost European taxpayers and license fee payers, Gunnar Bergvall, chairman of the Public Service Council, asked himself. Do listeners, consumers and citizens really know what's going on? The letters DAB may soon stand for "Dead And Buried". The European public service sector risks losing credibility following a DAB radio failure.
An observer has compared the game of DAB to a pyramid scheme - or a ponzi scheme - in the worst case scenario, to grow in scope over a long period of time. Only those who will withdrew before the collapse can avoid becoming losers. A pyramid scheme with politicians as game tiles and taxpayers standing for the bill. Foul play is not illegal, but cynical and immoral.
Experience shows that FM networks must be completely shut down in order to force consumers to switch to DAB. So far, only Norway has adopted this strategy. However, it is likely that the DAB system will never gain a sufficient foothold in the rest of Europe before it is considered obsolete and begins to be phased out.
For 25 years, however, the system has managed to establish its presence, not among consumers, but among politicians and bureaucrats who are triggered by the concept of "digitalisation". However, today public service broadcasters should be expected to better understand the future. The BBC, which has been a leader in the development of DAB in the 1990s, now regards the internet as the most important platform for radio and television of the future.
The expansion of DAB has now stagnated in Europe 2020 according to German PCWELT. The world is facing a very tough economic period. Neither public budgets nor commercial analyzes will see any societal nessesity for investments in a third plattform for audio broadcasting.
A probable scenario that DAB will stay with us for another decade, as a complementary platform, with national or regional transmitter networks in about 20 European countries. An important component is the EU rule that forces car manufacturers to provide car radios with the option of also receiving "terrestrial digital radio". However, there will not be a sufficiently extensive natural market for other types of recivers in households. There will be no role for DAB in the smartphone revolution.
DAB will not replace FM for in-car receivers. FM radio is all too well established throughout the world, with robustness and better transmitter range than DAB, which is a crucial contingency advantage. In December 2020, Finland decided that FM radio should be mandatory in new cars.

My weight-loss quest has been bleak at best lately. I just couldn’t get past my manic need for large quantities of all things unhealthy for me.
This week, though, while I did not stay on any kind of a diet and only exercized once, I actually have results to post! Hallelujah!
This came mostly with “doing” more around the house, and not snacking nearly as much as I was. I think this was just my bodies initial shock to not quite so much food! But, I’m hoping/praying I can get on a roll and keep lessening that food intake, doing more, and eating a little better. My goal is to get back on the “roll” I was in last year when I lost my initial 15 pounds.
My daughter once told me, “I can’t help it if I hit my sister. She just makes me so mad and my arm just hits her.”
This led to a discussion about the choices we have in life, and how no one “makes” us do pretty much anything. We have self-control, meaning we control our actions. It also was a good discussion about sin and how having Jesus breaks the power sin has over us.
Back to weight-loss. I’m trying to remind myself that I have POWER over my eating habits, over my exercise habits. They are choices that I make, and no one MAKES me down a 2 liter of Coke in a day (only slight exaggeration…)
But worry…. and spending habits… and cleaning habits… and a whole lot of other things that we (read I) have issues with.
Now, let’s all sit down in a circle, hold hands, and hum really loud to bring out our inner skinny people—
So, how did YOU do this week? And what are some things you can try to muster up some self-control and conquer this next week?
I was doing okay, down 10 more lbs this month. Then I sold my engagement ring and did some major emotional eating yesterday – bombed! But I've been walking daily and got up to 1.5hrs on aerobics this week. Trying to focus on the positives…joining you in the circle.
Lis, I can totally see how that would bring on some emotional eating! I'm so sorry you're having to go through that:-(
Thanks Krista. I definitely wasn't expected this after 13 and half years of devotion…but it is what it is. Please specifically, I need prayer for 2 more children to join my preschool. I can finish my education and easily scrape by if God would just send 2 more children to my care. Otherwise? my daughter and I are not going to make it :'(
This week I am up half a pound but for January I am down 3. My main focus is better eating as my cholesterol is high. I am proud of those 3 pounds as this has been an emotional time, my son's wife left her rings on the counter and left. None of us saw it coming.
Beverley, oh my goodness. I am so so so sorry. I can't imagine how you're feeling, and that is NOT what you needed at this time. Please know your family is in my prayers!
Losing weight when emotions are high is so very hard. And really concentrating on your health vs weight is the exact thing you need to do!
I'm officially restarting Skinny Friday today. Last Friday I weighed 270. Today I weigh 263.4. (-6.6 pounds) I'm doing the 17-Day Diet by Dr. Mike Moreno. I have had to have self-control today because the boys are eating pizza and donuts (Friday allergy shot day treat), and I'm feeding them to Simon but not eating them myself.
YEAH for 6 pounds!!!! And YEAH for self-control! I didn't have great self-control today, I shall admit. And tomorrow is chalked full of opportunities to eat. However, I am going to try and be good! You are my inspiration:-)
How appropriate! We are sitting here after the funeral of my mother-in-law. We are discussing family memories … some of which are sibling childhood disagreements. I read your daughter's statement, "I can't help it if I hit my sister. She just makes me so mad and my arm just hits her", aloud to the family. They all just laughed.
You made a lot of good points. Of course this hasn't been agood week to think about diet; however, I need to remember the points you made about our decisions. Thanks for the wonderful reminder.
I remember the "after funeral" memory making from when we lost my grandparents… it is so sad to lose a loved one but for some reason there is great peace in those moments of being with family and reminiscing.
So…I've heard it said once that going on a "diet" is never the answer instead it is a lifestyle change. We've had a lifetime to create our bad habits, and they can be hard to break! Congratulations to all the ladies on here and those that are reading on the decision to change your life…even during the hard times. Don't be discouraged when you have a bad or so-so day (with food choices), because tomorrow is another day and you get to start all over again with good choices. Keep fighting the good fight!
I weighed in yesterday evening at WW and lost another 2 pounds, for a total of 8.4. Slow and steady. Just think how good we are going to feel this summer!
YEAH, Sherrinda!!!! Yes, we are going to feel GOOD this summer, that's right! Still won't ever rock a 2 piece regardless of HOW skinny I get… (Heck, a one-piece w/o a cover up is probably not even gonna happen) but still, I'll feel good:-)
Thanks, Krista. I greatly appreciate the prayers and the comfort of your words. You are right … there is great peace being with family and reminiscing.

"Go ahead, fall in love, be for somebody," former President Bill Clinton said. "But when the primary's over, let's fall in line and bring the White House back to our party."
INDIANOLA, Iowa (CNN) -- Bill Clinton spoke to an energetic crowd of Democrats in a wet field in Iowa on Saturday, praising the nine Democrats running for president as the best field of candidates the party has put forward in years.
The former president repeatedly derided Republicans for their budget and environmental plans, and urged voters to elect a Democrat in 2004.
"Go ahead, fall in love, be for somebody," Clinton said. "But when the primary's over, let's fall in line and bring the White House back to our party."
Seven of the Democratic presidential candidates were present, but it was the former president who captured the attention of the Iowa Democrats at Tom Harkin's Steak Fry, held annually by Iowa's junior senator.
In the 2000 race, Clinton all but stood on the sidelines when his vice president, Al Gore, campaigned for president. Gore rarely uttered his name and almost never campaigned with him.
"I am tired of Democrats walking away from Bill Clinton and Al Gore," said Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, one of the nine Democrats vying for the White House.
"When I'm the nominee," said Rep. Richard Gephardt of Missouri, another candidate, "I'm going to have Bill Clinton out on the road for me, fighting to win this presidency."
Said former Vermont Gov. Howard Dean, who is also running, "I think Bill Clinton and Al Gore will be present in the 2004 campaign. I think they're both going to help us a lot."
When asked about his attention-getting visit to the event, Clinton said he was responding to Harkin's invitation.
After the speech, Clinton talked up the candidacy of retired Army Gen. Wesley Clark, who has fueled rumors of an entry into the race but is not a candidate.
"I think he'd be quite good," Clinton said. "I've known him since 1963. He's a good man, smart man, would serve our country well. He was fabulous in the Bosnian peace process, in Kosovo -- in the conflict. He's a good man."
Clinton said Bush's presidency has created a deficit, lost jobs, increased poverty, reduced the number of people with health insurance, and cut labor and environmental rights.
The tax cut of 2000 was evidence that the administration failed to plan for a rainy day, Clinton said, and when the terrorist attacks happened, the country was left without enough money to spend on the effort to go after those responsible.
"Not 5 percent" of the American people know the effects of the tax cut, Clinton said, and it's up to the Democrats to spread the word:
"They gave me a tax cut and kicked kids out of after-school programs, unemployed workers out of their job-training programs, kids out of their student loans, cops off the street," he said.
Of the Democrats, Clinton said, "all we have to do to win is make our differences clear, tell people what they don't know that we don't like and they wouldn't like either if they knew it, and tell 'em what we'll do if they give us a job."

It’s always nice when people eat their words. “You’re going back to Triple-A, you can’t hit,” said the annoying guy behind me at the O’s game today, who apparently got picked last everyday at recess. Mr. Dead Last was talking about recent O’s call up Corey Patterson, who was playing in just his second game with the O’s this season. He started off slow, going 0-2 in his first two at-bats and grounding into a double play in the third inning that looked to be something he could’ve ran out. This was the play that encouraged the heckler to start heckling.
Patterson then led off the sixth inning with a double, but couldn’t get anyone to knock him in. Then, in the eighth inning with the O’s down 5-1, Patterson led off with a 391-foot homer to right field to bring the O’s within three runs. A couple of base runners and a Luke Scott grand slam later, the O’s were ahead 6-5. But of course, the O’s bullpen had to make it interesting in the bottom of the ninth. The Mariners had two men aboard with Ichiro at bat and two outs. Ichiro hit a shot into left and just as Josh Wilson looked like he was going to tie the game up, Patterson came up throwing and gunned Wilson out at home to end the game.
Pretty good for a guy who just got called up, huh? Patterson, still sporting a Nationals cap in his profile picture, came up big for the O’s when they needed him most. He went 2-for-4 with a double, home run and an RBI in a game the O’s desperately needed. I think this game was the best win for the O’s all season and hopefully it created some momentum they can feed off of going into the next series with the Indians. It showed the O’s have fight in them and that they are never going to give up, and Patterson was the catalyst.
The O’s purchased Patterson’s contract from Triple-A Norfolk on Tuesday, sending the slumping Nolan Reimold back to the same minor league club. Patterson was batting .368 in 14 games with the Tides and the club thought that by calling him up it would generate some offense back into the lineup. Well the plan seemed to work, at least for today.
Patterson is no stranger to the O’s, having played in 267 games for the club during the 2006-07 seasons. He was immediately placed in the leadoff spot because of the failed success of Julio Lugo and Adam Jones at the same spot. Patterson did exactly what was asked of him today both at the plate and in the field. Let’s just hope he can continue to spark the offense to generate some runs.
I’m not sure if Patterson is quite the answer for the O’s at the leadoff spot, but I’m sure glad he shut up the heckler behind me today at the game.

Our mission is to provide the best local sports commentary in the Baltimore area. We love the Baltimore area and all of its teams, but we like adding a fair counterweight to the dialogue just as much. In other words, we take jabs because we care. You can get the score anywhere, but we’d like to think that this is one of the few places online that provides an authentic view of our region’s varied sports culture.

dc.description.abstract The aim of the present work is to prepare a novel polymer electrolyte (PE) based on multi component polymer blend of polyacrylonitrile (PAN), poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and polystyrene (PS) with varying compositions by electrospinning. Structural characterization is carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD). The thermal and crystalline properties of the blend are studied by thermo-gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. Morphology of the membrane is examined by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The voids and cavities generated by the interlaying of the fibers are effectively utilized for the preparation of PE by loading with lithium hexafluorophosphate (LiPF6) dissolved in ethylene carbonate (EC)/diethyl carbonate (DEC). The ionic conductivity of the polymer blend electrolyte is studied by varying the PMMA and PS content in the PAN matrix. The blend polymer electrolyte shows ionic conductivity of about 3.9 × 10(−3) S cm(−1). The performance evaluation in coin cells show good charge–discharge properties and stable cycle performance under the test conditions. The result shows that the prepared polymer blend electrolytes are promising materials for lithium ion batteries. en_US

Learner Reviews & Feedback for Advanced Financial Reporting: Accounting for Business Combinations and Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements Course | Coursera
Retour à Advanced Financial Reporting: Accounting for Business Combinations and Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
Avis et commentaires pour d'étudiants pour Advanced Financial Reporting: Accounting for Business Combinations and Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements par Université de l'Illinois à Urbana-Champaign
This course covers the accounting for business combinations (ASC 805), the preparation of consolidated financial statements (ASC 810), and other related topics including, but not limited to: step-by-step acquisition, deconsolidation, segments reporting, and the goodwill impairment test. This course begins with a discussion of the scope of ASC 805 and the differences between business combinations and asset acquisitions. Next, the course explores the measurement and recognition principles of the acquisition method to account for business combinations. Then, the course covers the consolidation process. You will learn how to prepare the consolidated financial statements and make all of the necessary consolidation adjustments....
This is a rare intermediate accounting course I was looking for. Well supported by good course materials and lectures are easy to understand.
1 - 25 sur 49 Avis pour Advanced Financial Reporting: Accounting for Business Combinations and Preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements
Amazing course to take your financial concepts to next level. The course appropriately deals with the complexity of financial consolidation and make concepts very clear. The presentation is a little less jazzy than its contemporaries, however, if you are focussed on what you want this is the course.
par Mustafa O E
I believe the content of this course was good. However, the instructor for the class had a very heavy accent and, unfortunately, I could understand very little of the lecture material. To make matters worse, the transcripts of the lectures were obviously done by someone who, like me, could barely understand the instructor! The transcripts contain so many errors that, in many cases, they are virtually unreadable. I quit listening to the videos around Module 4 or 5 as it was just a waste of time. I used the PDF ppts and struggled with the translations to try to learn. That did not work in the cases in which the PDF ppts were absent (at least twice). Finally, I am not sure how others feel, but the fact that the instructor used hand-written examples instead of technology (Excel, maybe?) to show work is absolutely unbelievable. It was made worse by the fact that his handwriting is very, very bad and it was impossible to read what was written. Truly a bad course experience. I don't quite understand reviews that say otherwise.
par Melody D H
Very good course. I learned a lot. I wish there was a free accounting textbook to go with the course so that I could go into more depth on some of the subjects. But I got through it and passed the course. :) Time to see what other intermediate or advanced accounting courses they offer.
The course provides the basic knowledge how to properly evaluate by an accounting standpoint a merger and acquisition of a company under the GAAP.
The professor Kustanovich is straight and explain clearly the content of the lessons.
par ALBERT B
An excellent course with an excellent faculty. Broke down the most complicated concepts of consolidation, so quickly and easily. Thank you so much Coursera, University of Illinois and CPA Michael Kustanovich sir !

May 4, 1959 - March 12, 2019
Dr. Howard Zimring passed away suddenly on the morning of March 12, 2019. He died of coronary thrombosis as he set off on his daily bike ride while visiting relatives in Carlsbad, California. He was 59 years old.
Howard pursued his undergraduate education at Emory University in Atlanta, graduating in 1981 with a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. Howard then attended Tufts Medical School and attained a Medical Doctorate in 1985. To continue his medical training, he completed an internship in internal medicine at the VA Medical Center in Boston and a residency at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Howard went on to complete his fellowship in Cardiovascular Disease at UCSD from 1991-1994. While in medical school, Howard had enlisted in the military and was commissioned by the US Army in 1982. In exchange for his service, he was granted work experience and a means to finance his medical education. Assuming his first position as a doctor, Howard served in the internal medicine department from 1988-1991 at Tripler Army Medical Center in Honolulu, HI. During these three years, he was deployed to both Thailand and Tonga. Howard then worked as a cardiologist at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, beginning in 1994.
After completing his fellowship in interventional cardiology, he became the director of the army base's cardiac cath lab. Once more, Howard was deployed overseas—this time, in Kuwait—for Operation Desert Storm. At Base Camp Kuwait, he was awarded the Army Commendation Medal. Howard was honorably discharged from service on June 15, 1997. Howard returned to civilian life as an interventional cardiologist at the Colorado University Hospital in Denver. A year later, he changed residence to work at the Bloomington Indiana Community Hospital. Finally, after three years, Howard settled in St. Cloud, Minnesota, where he solidified his professional career at the Saint Cloud CentraCare Heart & Vascular Center. He worked here for 17 years until his passing.
Howard lived an exceptional lifestyle and prided himself in his remarkable health. During his years spent residing in California and Hawaii, Howard took up surfing. He appreciated the calm of the ocean at night and earned the nickname 'Moondog' for braving the waves under the moonlight. As he moved farther away from the sea, he fell in love with other activities. Howard especially enjoyed exercising: playing tennis, running, cross country skiing, swimming, and cycling. He cycled 40-50 miles as his minimum daily exercise, and it was his hobby to update and improve his cycling equipment. And although he did not compete regularly, he took third place in the 2018 Apple Duathlon among his age group. As Howard had fallen in love with tennis at a young age, he became passionate about instructing all three of his children how to play and enjoy tennis for themselves. Howard also made sure to spend time relaxing.
Among his favorite family activities were attending Timberwolves games and classical music concerts, watching movies, and dining out. Before falling asleep, he enjoyed reading historical fiction.
Memorial gifts may be sent to the Bruce N. Reynolds, M.D., M85 & Carolyn and Howard Zimring, M.D. M85 Trust and Scholarship Fund. Contributions will go towards supporting young students to fulfill their dreams of attending medical school and becoming professional physicians.

Mision del Sol Resort and Spa - Adults Only Reviews
Ave. Gral. Diego Diaz Gonzalez 31, Cuernavaca, MOR, 62550 1-866-599-6674
Great hotel to enjoy a weekend with sun and spa facilities.
Beautiful grounds.Dining room menu and food were superb. Lacked Internet and television . Zero to do within walking distance so if you are looking for a serene beautiful place to relax, this it. If you want anything else you need transportation or taxi. Not much English spoken or written here. That said a nice peaceful place to be outside Cuernavaca.
Wonderful Hotel surrounded by beautifully landscaped terrain that creates a peaceful oasis. Excellent dining. Staff very friendly and attentive. Overall a very relaxing experience. The rooms are large with a high domed ceiling . Only con was the bed it needs attention. Mattress and spring box were beyond prime. Also sleeping during the day Is difficult due to bright sunlight coming in from the sky light. Otherwise Highly recommend this hotel.
by IVAN from Miami
Reservation for a friend
The reservation was for a friend from Europe that likes meditation. The service in general is fantastic, however the beds are not very comfortable quite too firm and noisy for a relaxing hotel. The bath and room are usually highly "populated" with small ants which might be uncomfortable for some people. The restaurant didn't offer the variety of wine my friends wanted (kosher) and they attempted to charge the cost of a whole bottle just for providing some glasses for it. The value against money its a bit in the limit.
Our trip had a rocky start when the room we were offered had no air conditioning. After speaking with the manager Mike, he was more than cordial and upgraded us to a room with air in the bedrooms. He explained that the holistic atmosphere of the hotel limits electronic devices. The staff was wonderful and the grounds excellent. I would come back again and again!
Excelent weekend option!

Nice Spa, poor hotel
Don't get me wrong. If you're looking a great spa, this is the place. Other than that, it's pretentious and overrated. Restaurant has a limited menu and there's virtually nowhere to go near the hotel

A Journey Through Venice at Prego | Foodaholix
Prego, the Italian restaurant at the Westin Hyderabad is universally acclaimed to be one of the best Italian restaurants in the city. The fine dine place serves the choicest delicacies from the cuisine and boasts of a sumptuous Sunday brunch. For the diehard fans of the Italian cuisine, Prego is hosting Foods of Venice, a festival showcasing culinary delights from the Venice region of Italy. Invited for a preview of the festival, we were extremely interested in trying out the specialties on offer.
Sarde In Sour
Chef Pradeep Rao of Prego was very forthcoming on why the festival was being organized. The idea is to present the huge number of loyal customers of the restaurant the finer nuances of Italian cuisine from different regions of the country. The Venice region has mountains, plains and coastal areas and even within the region there are differences in food habit. Whereas the coastal areas have more preferences for seafood, meat based dishes are more in vogue in the hilly areas of the region. Another uniqueness of the cuisine is the widespread use of Polenta, or coarsely ground corn. The Venetians love their Polenta and it finds its place in many dishes.
Salmoni Cotti Polpette
The restaurant has worked out a set menu of around sixteen items. Though the cuisine is largely non-vegetarian, a few vegetarian dishes have been included to bring balance to the menu. Chef wanted us to try out a few select dishes from all the sections of the menu.
In true Venetian tradition we started with seafood antipasties. Sarde in Saor essentially were sardine fishes which were deboned, marinated and served with pickled onion. It was an ideal dish for a fish lover like me as it left a strong aftertaste of fish meat. I also liked the use of raisins in the dish. Chef Pradeep told us that normally this item is served without removing the bones, but keeping in mind convenience of the customers they are preparing a deboned version.
Salmoni Cotti Polpette or coin sized baked salmon fish balls were mounted on beetroot rounds and served with a little bit of avocado cream and caviar. The item was an absolute delight with a very subtle taste of the fish balls pairing well with the avocado cream.
Cicetti, the Venetian finger food resembled a bruschetta with a nice and soft topping of mushrooms, polenta and fontina cheese.
A plate of Squid Ink Risotto was served next. The risotto was dark coloured due to use of squid ink and had octopus meat in it. It also had a mild garlic flavor which I thought could be enhanced a bit.
Manicotti Melanzane with Ricotta Cheese and Slow Cooked Tomato
Oreichiette Aratra Confit Salvia
One of the winners for me was Oreichiette Aratra Confit Salvia. Oreichiette is pasta the shape of which resembles an ear. The pasta was a bit thick, and the duck confit sauce in which it was served was simply divine. More than the pasta I ended up polishing off all the sauce that was served. For vegetarians there was eggplants in manicotti (pasta rolls) covered with ricotta cheese and served on a bed of slow cooked tomatoes.
Venetian palate seems to have some preference for ducks, as the Petto Di Anatra served as the main course was also a duck based delicacy. Sliced of honey glazed duck breast were served on a bed of flavourful risotto. The duck meat was perfectly cooked and again here I loved the sauce used for glazing.
Gallina Ubiaca
Gallina Ubriaca, which had chicken thighs in a delectable onion and mushroom sauce was the pick of the main courses. Chef Pradeep seems to have a knack of working miracles with sauces. In this case it tasted so well with the polenta as well as chicken that I wished this was the last dish, so that I could savour the aftertaste for long.
It was dessert time next. There was also Venetian Cannoli – cannoli shells filled with vanilla custard served on raspberry puree. The Ricotta and Raisin Torta or a cheesecake was delicious with the berry compote served with it.
Venetian Cannoli
Ricotta and Raisin Torta
The festival is a very imaginative initiative to introduce Italian regional cuisine to the Hyderabadi palate. Food lovers who enjoy Italian food and are interested to delve deeper into it may find this special menu extremely interesting. The festival is from 4th to 13th September at Prego, for both lunch and dinner.

Recognize a new genus Pseudasthenes for some members of Asthenes
Proposal (433) to South American Classification Committee
Effect on SACC: Four Asthenes species would be included in the new genus Pseudasthenes. New names would be P. humicola, P. patagonica, P. steinbachi, and P. cactorum.
A recently published phylogeny of the Furnariidae provided the first genetic evidence of lack of monophyly in Asthenes (Irestedt et al. 2006). This phylogeny included two species of Asthenes, one of which—A. cactorum (Cactus Canastero) —was sister to Pseudoseisura, whereas the other—A. urubambensis (Line-fronted Canastero) —formed a clade with Oreophylax and Schizoeaca. Gonzalez and Wink's (2008) phylogeny of the Synallaxinae included three species of Asthenes. They found that A. cactorum and A. humicola (Dusky-tailed Canastero) formed a clade that was sister to Pseudoseisura, whereas A. urubambensis formed a clade with Schizoeaca and Oreophylax. In a broader genus-level study of the infraorder Furnariides, Moyle et al. (2009) found Asthenes to be paraphyletic with respect to Schizoeaca in that S. helleri (Puna Thistletail) was nested within a group that contained A. humilis (Cabanis) (Streak-throated Canastero), A. urubambensis, and A. baeri (Berlepsch) (Short-billed Canastero). These findings suggested the need for a new phylogenetic classification for taxa currently included in Asthenes and related genera.
As part of a project to reconstruct the phylogenetic relationships of all species in the Furnariidae from DNA sequences (mitochondrial and nuclear), extensive taxon-sampling allowed Derryberry et al. (2010) to determine conclusively that the genus Asthenes consists of two groups that are not sister taxa. One group consists of four species of Asthenes (A. cactorum, A. steinbachi), A. patagonica (Patagonian Canastero), and A. humicola), whereas the second group consists of all remaining species of Asthenes as well as all species sampled from the genus Schizoeaca and Oreophylax moreirae (Itatiaia Spinetail), the sole member of its genus. The type species of Asthenes (A. sordida, currently considered a subspecies of A. pyrrholeuca [Sharp-billed Canastero]) belongs to the large second group. Because no generic name is available for the clade consisting of A. cactorum, A. steinbachi, A. patagonica, and A. humicola (Cory 1919, Cory & Hellmayr 1925, see classification below) Derryberry et al. (2010) described the new genus Pseudasthenes for these four species. After transferring the four species to Pseudasthenes, Asthenes remains paraphyletic because Oreophylax moreirae and all species of Schizoeaca are nested within it. This is the subject of Proposal 434.

Comments from Nores: "YES, porque no queda otra opción. Todos los fundamentos morfológicos y biogeográficos que tenía con este grupo quedan desactualizados por los análisis moleculares. Ningún otro cambio me ha producido una duda tan grande como este caso, no sólo por el nuevo género sino también por las inesperadas relaciones entre las especies. Asthenes baeri y A. dorbignyi, tan parecidos a A. steinbachi resultan tan diferentes, y en cambio se agrupan con Schizoeaca y Oreophylax, un grupo que parecía tan diferente morfológica y biogeográficamente, que además es restringido a los páramos. Como si fuera poco, Pseudoasthenes está relacionado con Pseudoseisura, algo que parecía imposible de ser. Es todo para mi tan inesperado, que no descarto totalmente que haya habido algún error en los análisis moleculares."
Comments from Stotz: "YES. The genetic data seems clear, although like Manuel, I can't see much to join Pseudasthenes with Pseudoseisura, there is not real requirement of that. This is a very distinct clade, clear from the rest of the Asthenes mess."
Comments from Zimmer: "YES. The genetic data seems pretty clear-cut, although I too find the proposed relationship between Pseudoseisura and Pseudasthenes to be both surprising and not particularly helpful biologically, given the clear divergence between the two groups."
Comments from Jaramillo: "YES. I too find it very surprising. On the other hand, Dusky-tailed, Steinbach's and Patagonian were always odd ducks, and the relationship between Dusky-tailed and Patagonian seemed relatively clear to me. I don't know the Cactus, but had assumed it was much more similar to Cordilleran (A. modesta). I guess not. On the other hand, Steinbach's has always been mentioned as similar to A. dorbignyi, yet in the field it is something altogether different. It is a much more robust, and short-tailed bird and more strikingly colored. Vocally there are some similarities: at least Dusky-tailed, Cactus, and Steinbach's have two song types. One is a dry trill, and the other is a stuttering trill that speeds up and becomes syncopated towards the end. All recordings I have found of Patagonian are only of a trill type, so maybe it does not have the second song type, or perhaps it is rare. In Dusky-tailed for example the syncopated song is the common one; the trill is rarely heard but it exists. It seems to me that most true Asthenes have a single song type, and in the streaked group it is an accelerating and ascending song for the most part. So, voice appears to tie together Pseudasthenes, and their relatively stocky shape with a short and sometimes rather wide tail, this also is common the group."
Comments from Pacheco: "YES. Eu considero plenamente aceitável – diante dos resultados encontrados por Derryberry et al. que o novo gênero Pseudathenes e seu arranjo taxonômico sejam reconhecidos por este Comitê."

What does God want? Exploring success in life
The Art of Success in Life: Unpacking the Possible Dream
by Molly Gordon | Dec 31, 2008
Image credit: I used to dream… by Mariam Al-Ma via flick'r. To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. ~Anatole France.
It's the time of year when we typically review the past and prepare for the future. This year I've been looking at what I really want. As you may know, it's a harder question to answer than one might think.
So yesterday, I decided to look at what I wanted before I grew up.
Suddenly things looked very clear. Before I grew up and realized how hokey it sounds, I wanted to save the world. I believed that love was the answer. I wanted to be so good, loving, and pure that evil, fear, and disease would dissolve in my presence.
I wanted every little child in the world to have a Santa Claus and every parent to have one, too. I wanted to go to heaven. I wanted to please God.
(I realize that God is a loaded word. And life's too short for me to pussyfoot around looking for the politically correct, suitably generic, term for a Reality that has been present for me for as long as I can remember. Suffice it to say that I'm talking about experience not promoting dogma.)
So I asked myself, what pleases God? It seemed unlikely that chronic fear, self-doubt, and playing small would make the grade. (That begged the question of where I got the idea that self-criticism was a prerequisite to holiness, but that's another story.)
I was criticizing myself for being self-critical, when it occurred to me that God's heart must swell with compassion for (you, me, us) as we tilt at the furiously spinning windmills of our personal demons. And then I had the stunning thought that God might be pleased right here, right now, regardless of how aware or asleep, joyous or despondent, productive or sluggish I may be. What a concept.
If God is pleased anyway, what then? How shall I live?
I'm liking this question.
So setting aside for the moment the burdens of living up to our potential, of loving our neighbors, and all the other shoulds and shouldn'ts that keep us teetering on the knife edge between fallibility and aspiration, I invite you to join me in a childlike celebration of the year that is passing away and of the year to come.
Remember when you were small and you would make up the rules to a game as it went along? For a while you would be a knight or a princess, and when that role began to pinch you would transform on the spot into a unicorn or pirate. It just didn't make sense to let the rules determine the game.
In that spirit, take a look at the year to come. Knowing that the game can change at any moment, define it now in the best, most joyous, most creative terms you can imagine.
You might begin with work. If work was so satisfying, so fun, so engaging, rewarding, and productive that it brought a silly grin to your face every day, what would that look like?
This is no time to be realistic or humble. In fact, humility in this context is an oxymoron. When we are truly childlike, humility takes care of itself. Dear to dream and let go of the ways and means just for today.
Next, consider your family life. What are the new rules for this game? Remember, your task here is to move toward joy and ease, gratitude and freedom.
Now, finances. Start with the premise that there is plenty. Imagine that you are able to fully endow your dreams, the causes that are dear to your heart, and the adventures you wish to share with others. Simply notice what it takes in your mind's eye to bring this about.
As you continue to dream the year ahead, you may invent games around contribution, spirituality, friendship, or learning. The playing field is wide open.
When you've completed your game preparations, take a few moments to savor your direct encounter with possibility. It's not about making things happen or wresting happiness from difficult times. Instead, as with children who do not consider pretending to be a waste of time, it's about the delight of play.
As this year comes to a close I'll be saying goodbye to old habits of thought and opening my arms to the possible dream. I love that in the game I'm imagining you are all my joyful playmates.

Home Drama Teaser Review: Parizaad looks intense & promising
Hum Tv has released teasers for their upcoming drama serial, featuring Ahmed Ali Akbar, Saboor Aly and Ushna Shah in the lead role. Parizaad seems to address different topics with an interesting storyline.
It narrates the story of a man (role played by Ahmed Ali Akbar) who struggles in every phase of his life. Being dark-skinned and a welder, he faces massive backlash everywhere as he doesn't lie on the beauty standards of society.
Saboor Aly, playing the role of a tomboy also doesn't fit the standards of society. She loves to do boxing and become a boxer, however, her family wants her to get married and settle down.
Ushna Shah makes an appearance in the second teaser, where she shows interest in Ahmed Ali Akbar. However, things don't work out between them.
Besides this, Nauman Ijaz and Urwa Hocane also play a big role in this drama. While seen in the OST, Urwa too fells in love with Ahmed Ali Akbar. All of them have different characters according to the storyline.
Written by Hashim Nadeem, directly by Shehzad Kashmiri and produced by Momina Duraid, the drama serial stars Ahmed Ali Akbar, Urwa Hocane, Ushna Shah, Saboor Aly, Yumna Zaidi, Kiran Tabeer, Noman Ijaz, Madiha Rizvi and others. The drama will be on air soon on Hum Tv Network.

Compensation packages need to focus managers on developing and successfully executing the long-term strategy of the company.
Because it's a percentage measure, ROIC tends to focus managers on locating gains in efficiency versus driving value through growth. Companies, especially those with high current ROIC, become increasingly growth averse, shrinking investment spend and pursuing cost cutting initiatives.
With the capital charge as your hurdle, you can unearth new and valuable growth opportunities for evaluation. Managers invest in growth where the profits generated are greater than the cost of the incremental capital invested.

TFG1Mike's DVD Reviews: Tennessee Tuxedo And His Tales
TFG1Mike Send an email 03.08.2012Last Updated: 05.02.2018
TFG1Mike's DVD Reviews:
So when I saw the news that this cartoon was coming out, I just had to get it to review. As a kid I always loved watching Tennessee Tuxedo, probably because it was Don Adams doing the voice. However I did learn a lot watching this cartoon.The greatest part of Tennessee was that it taught you educational items through the comedy of the series. Whether that was Tennessee and Chumbly getting into trouble, and having to consult Phineas J. Whoopie, or figuring stuff out on their own.
On March 6, 2012 Shout Factory and Classic Media released Tennessee Tuxedo and His Tales The Complete Collection on DVD.
All 70 episodes of Tennessee Tuxedo are in this DVD set, as well as The King and Odie, and The Hunter. Rounding out this 6 DVD set they added episodes of Tooter Turtle, and Klondike Kat. This is truly a classic collection of Total Television Animation. The presentation on the Tennesee cartoons is great when it comes to the picture quality. I find that The King and Odie, as well as The Hunter the picture quality goes down dramatically.
7 Commentaries with with voice actors Larry Starch and Bradley Bolke, co-creator Buck Biggers, and author Mark Arnold.
Featurette: Tennessee Tuxedo Never Fails
Bumpers, Openings, and Closings
The set also includes a DVD booklet that has The History of Tennessee Tuxedo written By Mark Arnold.
All in all this is a very nice set to have, and I've always been a firm believer in being able to have these classic cartoons on DVD. If you grew up watching the syndicated reruns of this cassic series I'd say that this is worth adding to your DVD collection.

What is Climate Controlled Storage and Do You Need It | The Neighbor Blog
Ever browsed the internet for cheap storage units near you? Then you've probably come across the word "climate controlled". What is climate controlled storage? And do you even need it? Since this could cost you hundreds of dollars, we'll help you understand everything there is to know about climate controlled storage and help you consider if it's they type of storage unit you actually need.
Climate controlled storage is a type of storage option where the temperature and/or humidity of the storage space is fixed at a constant level set by management. Not to be confused, a "temperature-controlled" storage unit doesn't automatically mean it's also "humidity controlled," and vice versa. The purpose of climate controlled storage is to ensure your stored items are protected against damaging heat, cold, and humidity.
Renting a climate controlled storage unit usually costs about 20-50% more than a non-climate controlled storage unit. Use our Average Monthly Storage Unit Cost Guide to learn more depending on the size and type of storage space you need and how Neighbor is the more affordable solution.
Average temperature in a climate controlled storage unit
Any item that can discolor, warp, or crack in extreme temperatures or humidity should go in a climate controlled space. The list below isn't comprehensive and some items may not experience damage, but it may be helpful to consider along with your personal storage needs:
Collectibles (e.g., art, wine, antiques)
Metal, leather, wood, fabric/upholstery, and wicker goods or furniture (e.g., appliances, couches, tables, clothes)
Paperwork, books, and documents
Electronics (e.g., computers, phones, TVs, cameras)
Media (e.g., CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, film, photos)
Musical instruments (e.g., pianos, violins)
Important aspects to consider when storing:
Wood is at risk in extreme temperatures. It can warp and crack due to expansion and contraction.
Mildew, mold, and fungus can grow and stain papers and fabrics in hot temperatures and humid areas.
Think about individual parts when choosing a storage unit.
While the item as a whole may not need climate control, it may have parts that do. For example, if storing a bicycle in a non-climate controlled storage unit, consider removing the wheels or seat.
Do You Actually Need a Climate Controlled Storage Unit?
If you're wondering whether you need a climate controlled storage unit, ask yourself the following questions:
Depending on your location and the time of year, temperature or humidity control might be essential. High humidity, for example, can result in increased risk of pests, rust and corrosion, and mold. Climate controlled storage is critical in extreme colds like those of the northern US. It's also a good idea for extreme heats in the southwest. You'll also want climate controlled storage in areas like the southeast where the temperatures and humidity are high.
If you are planning to use storage for only a short period of time, say under three months, maintaining a constant temperature and humidity may not be necessary. If you are storing for more than one year and you're storing sensitive items in a location where temperature or humidity might be a concern, renting a storage space that is climate controlled is best. For example, rust and corrosion won't form on metal items if only stored in a humid storage space for a few weeks.
Find Cheaper Climate Controlled Storage with Neighbor
When looking for a storage unit with climate control, never assume that a space is temperate or humidity controlled, or both. Many traditional self storage units don't have climate control and if they do, they're significantly more expensive than standard unites. This is why Neighbor is the better, more modern solution to find climate controlled storage nearby. Not only is it easy, reliable, and convenient, but the cost of renting storage space through Neighbor is 50% cheaper than what you'll find with storage facilities. Many Neighbor storage listings are inside residential or commercial buildings. These naturally enjoy room temperatures and humidity between 35 and 40 percent that are great for items that need climate control.

Unbeaten Westfield win it again - Northamptonshire Telegraph
Unbeaten Westfield win it again
Ian Donaldson was at the double in Thrapston's 6-4 success at Wanderers A
The Wellingborough & District Table Tennis League has now been completed with Westfield A retaining the Division One title after amassing 149 points with no losses.
Division Two saw Westfield C's young players taking the top spot after an unbeaten campaign while in Division Three, another young side the WDHA Royals also completed the season without a defeat.
All the winners and runners-up will receive their trophies at the annual presentation evening, incorporating the Challenge Trophy final match on Monday, May 12 at the Old Grammarians Memorial Ground from 7pm.
This final handicap event, sponsored by Stanley L Hunt (Printers) Ltd, will be between Westfield C (0) and WDHA Super Kings (+180)
In the final round of Division One matches, Westfield claimed an 8-2 victory at Wanderers A.
Tony Wharton gained Wanderers' first point with a straight-sets win over Nitin Patel and there was a surprise outcome in game eight when Wanderers' Andy Law took Daniel Smalley to five and won.
It meant Smalley lost his 100 per cent record in his last game of the season (8-11, 14-12, 6-11, 14-12, 11-7).
St John finished their season strongly with a 7-3 success over Wanderers B with Grant Timms and Richard Wills gaining comfortable trebles.
Paul Goodman, for Wanderers, comfortably saw off Jon Perkins, as did Richard Adams and in the case of Goodman, he finished his best ever season in the top division.
The third point for Wanderers was gained when Bob Hickson got some consolation for a blank night when he joined Adams to win out in a five-set doubles victory over Timms and Wills.
The season was completed by Thrapston's 6-4 win at Wanderers A, who lost Law due to illness during his match against Steve West having lost out to both Chris Warliker and Ian Donaldson earlier.
Wharton was on form when recording a fine hat-trick as he beat West in five and, more easily, Donaldson in three.
Gene Brown picked up the remaining point with a four-set win over Thrapston's Warliker.
Results: Wanderers A 2 (Tony Wharton, Andy Law) Westfield A 8 (Daniel Smalley 2, Alex Aston 3, Nitin Patel 2, doubles Smalley/Aston), St John A 7 (Jon Perkins, Richard Wills 3, Grant Timms 3) Wanderers B 3 (Paul Goodman, Richard Adams, doubles Adams/Hickson), Wanderers A 4 (Gene Brown, Tony Wharton 3) Thrapston 6 (Steve West 2, Ian Donaldson 2, Chris Warliker, doubles West/Donaldson).
Division Two champions Westfield C completed their season unbeaten with a 9-1 demolition of St John B with the only blip being when Cameron Elliott dipped out to David Hatherall.
Richie Bailey and Travis Holly recorded hat-tricks and Bailey and Elliott took a fifth-end victory in the doubles over Hatherall and Paul Lipczak.
Half of the games in the 5-5 draw between Higham Band A and Chesterwell C went to five ends, including the doubles in which Keith Stockley and Nigel Magee came good with an 11-6 victory over Maxine Shears and Stuart Coles.
Shears finished her season with her ninth hat-trick, Stuart and Clare Coles notched a single apiece as did Pete Martin and Keith Stockley for the Band and, with Magee winning twice, the points were shared.
St John B and Old Grammarians B brought the division's matches to a conclusion and, fittingly, it ended all-square at 5-5.
For St John, Steve Mansfield and David Hatherall won twice and Martin Rice and Colin Lord replicated that feat for the visitors with David Bayes adding a single win over Paul Lipczak.
Bayes and Rice contested the doubles against Lipczak and Hatherall and it was the latter pair who came out on top to share the spoils.
Results: Westfield C 9 (Cameron Elliott 2, Richie Bailey 3, Travis Holly 3, doubles Elliott/Bailey) St John B 1 (David Hatherall), Higham Band A 5 (Pete Martin, Nigel Magee 2, Keith Stockley, doubles Magee/Stockley) Chesterwell C 5 (Maxine Shears 3, Stuart Coles, Clare Coles), St John B 5 (Steve Mansfield 2, David Hatherall 2, doubles Lipczak/Hatherall) Old Grammarians B 5 (Martin Rice 2, David Bayes, Colin Lord 2).
WDHA Royals walked away with the Division Three title as they finished 43 points clear of Higham Harriers B, an effort that also earned them the Team of the Season award, sponsored by L&M Waters Trophies Ltd, in their first-ever campaign.
Five out of the eight players from the WDHA club now also qualify for the divisional Averages Top 8 event – a new competition to find the strongest player in each division.
Wanderers F had three matches to round off the season as they finally caught up.
In the first, both they and Higham Band B were only able to field two players.
The rule was passed at the annual meeting in May last year that this combination was able to go ahead as a fixture with a maximum of seven points available for a win.
Higham took full advantage as Deirdre Kiziak and Fred Sorrell gaining all the available points to seal a 7-2 success.
Hat-tricks for Craig Hartwell and Bob Collyer and two points for Martyn Reeves plus the doubles saw Higham Harriers B secure second place as they beat Wanderers F 9-1.
Brian Pearce scored the only point for Wanderers, although Diana Wiseman put us a brave attempt against Hartwell, increasing her score in each set before losing in the third.
Heather Sawyer also had a good game against the higher-ranked Reeves, losing out 8-11, 12-14, 9-11.
In their second match with only two players aside, Wanderers' Pearce won both points available with Jack Bain and Milan Pandya defeating Diana Wiseman and joining to take the doubles point (11-5)(11-8)(11-13)(11-4) as WDHA Super Kings sealed a 5-4 win to secure fifth place.
Results: Wanderers F 2 (2 points by default) Higham Band B 7 (Deirdre Kiziak 2, Fred Sorrell 2, doubles Kiziak/Sorrell + 2 by default), Higham Harriers B 9 (Martyn Reeves 2, Bob Collyer 3, Craig Hartwell 3, doubles Reeves/Collyer) Wanderers F 1 (Brian Pearce), WDHA Super Kings 5 (Jack Bain, Milan Pandya, doubles Bain/Pandya + 2 by default) Wanderers F 4 (Brian Pearce 2 + 2 by default).
Westfield C are still on course for the double after they beat Westfield G to book a Challenge Trophy, sponsored by Stanley L Hunt (Printers) Ltd, final date with WDHA Super Kings, who beat club rivals WDHA Royals.
The young Westfield side produced an excellent display in overcoming a large handicap against their club colleagues.
Most games were slightly under handicap for the G side but the killer blows were struck by Ethan Ali, who conceded only 36 points in a superb display, winning out 11-3, 11-3, 11-4, 11-0 over Sidney Wright, 11-5, 11-2, 11-3, 11-4 over Linda Freeman and 11-3, 11-5, 11-1, 11-3 over Glenn Morris.
The best performance for the G side was by Morris who gained a leg in a 3-11, 5-11, 6-11, 11-7 defeat to Cameron Elliott.
Seventeen points behind at the doubles, defeat looked inevitable and so it proved as, despite a plucky display by Linda Freeman and Glenn Morris, they went down to Ali and Travis Holly to bow out by 34 points.
In the other semi-final, after an excellent start with Shivam Mistry dropping only 19 points in a win over Jack Bain, the WDHA Royals faltered badly.
The writing was on the wall in game three when Rishan Patel scored an excellent 11-6, 11-8, 11-5, 9-11 win over Kishan Patel and capped this in game seven, defeating Mihir Mistry 11-7, 11-9, 11-9, 11-4.
The Royals clawed some of the deficit back with big wins in the last singles, Shivam Mistry winning out over Modha and then joining with Mihir Mistry for a doubles win over Rishan Patel and Chiraag Modha but it was too little too late for the runaway Division Three leaders and they went down to a disappointing 51-point defeat.
Results: WDHA Royals (0) 392 (Shivam Mistry 124/71, Mihir Mistry 111/102, Kishan Patel 113/114) WDHA Super Kings (rec 140) 443 (Jack Bain 89/122, Chiraag Modha 85.122, Rishan Patel 113/104), Westfield C (0) 436 (Travis Holly 132/51, Cameron Elliott 128/68, Ethan Ali 132/36) Westfield G (rec 220) 403 (Glenn Morris 53/128, Linda Freeman 53/132, Sidney Wright 49/132).

Sudan, South Sudan reach oil deal, continue border talks: mediator - Integration Through Media ....!
South Sudan's ruling Sudan People's Liberation Movement (SPLM) party secretary general Pagan Amum talks to the media after meeting with officials from Sudan in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa June 28, 2012. REUTERS/Tiksa Negeri
ADDIS ABABA (Reuters) – Sudan and South Sudan have reached a badly needed oil deal and will discuss restarting oil production soon but still need to resolve key border security issues to end hostilities, a mediator from the African Union said on Saturday.
If confirmed, an oil deal would mark a big step forward in ending a long list of conflicts left over from the duo's messy divorce as oil is the lifeline for both.
"What will remain (now)…is to then discuss the steps as to when the oil companies should be asked to prepare for the resumption of production and export," Mbeki said in Addis Ababa where the talks take place.
Mbeki's comments came as a surprise after the South's top negotiator Pagan Amum had just earlier accused Sudan of demanding a high oil fee. Both delegations had also hours earlier broken off talks without a comprehensive deal after a U.N. Security Council deadline expired.
"Any agreement on oil shall be subject to the implementation of a full and final agreement on security matters," Sudan's delegation said in a position paper published on Friday.
In an indication of the mistrust between the arch-foes, Juba's top negotiator Amum said, speaking just before Mbeki, that Khartoum was trying to "impose very exorbitant transit fees."
African Union-mediated talks, led by Mbeki, have long been hampered by differences on where to draw up a demilitarized buffer zone – seen as a crucial first step to ending hostilities.

Perfect imprecision, thoughts on memory leaks, performance profiling, code coverage, deadlock detection and flow tracing » Speed up your MFC program without a profiler!
I haven’t checked your code, but one of my customers caught that this exampe does not call InitHashTable() which is really required for cases where more than 10 elements will be used. The default is 17 elements… more than 10 elements collisions will occur, and it turns out then a linked list is used to store values that have collisions on the keys. If the InitHashTable is made to be larger… (the larger seems to be better), we found we got SIGNIFICANTLY better performance with our CMaps…
I missed that when I wrote some code 4-6 years ago… and we finally got to the point where that part was getting profiled and found wanting… A single line fix to the CMap goes a *LONG* way.
Hi! This is Chris Ashbach again. I’m back with another perfect layover idea. This time, I’m in Gunnison, Colorado. Gunnison is a year-round tourist destination that offers everything for the outdoorsman, from world class fly fishing, to hiking and skiing. Trans States Airlines has a regular layover here that arrives about lunchtime with a departure the next morning so you get to have the afternoon to explore this jewel of the Rockies.
Our layover hotel is just north of downtown Gunnison. From the hotel, there are three things within walking distance that are worth visiting; downtown Gunnison, The Powerstop, and the Gunnison State Wildlife Area. For the more adventurous, I’d recommend trying fly fishing. You can also visit Crested Butte, or just take a tour around on the free Gunnison Valley RTA bus.
Downtown Gunnison is an easy walk from our hotel. If you prefer, the van driver is usually more than happy to offer crews a ride to town though. Gunnison offers a few restaurants and some shopping. It’s a good way to spend a couple of hours on a nice afternoon. If you are looking for recommendations, check out The Twisted Fork which offers Asian influenced American food. For great pizza and an outdoor patio, visit High Alpine. On a recent trip, I really enjoyed The Bean cafe. It is a little more hipster and has some great coffee and crepes.
After several Captains told me it was one of the best burgers they had ever eaten, I had to try The Powerstop. While The Powerstop is an old gas station, it won’t take you more than one bite to know they make an absolutely killer burger.
A short walk northwest from the hotel will bring you to a dirt road that leads both wanderers and seasoned walkers to this wildlife area. It is a gorgeous walk and a large loop through the wilderness. During the winters, you will see cross-country skiers. Other times of the year, you may see couples out for a sunny walk, along with the occasional runner.
The wildlife area is very flat and is easily accessible. Clearly marked paths help keep you on the right track as you explore some of the natural beauty Gunnison has to offer. If you visit, make sure to walk all the way to the west, toward the large cliff face. Nestled next to the towering rock cliffs of the mountain you will see the Gunnison River tumbling and churning past you. It’s a perfect place to sit and read a book while the warm sun beats down on you next to the cool mountain water rushing by.
If you are a little more adventurous, you have to see some of the rest of the Gunnison Valley. It offers a lot of outdoor recreation, shopping, and history to explore.
The Gunnison Valley has a free bus that is scheduled throughout the day. Getting on the Gunnison Valley RTA is simple; the nearest stop is a stones throw from our hotel. The front desk has a schedule and can give you directions if needed. The RTA runs between Crested Butte and Gunnison and makes several stops along the way.
I caught this bus at the corner of Spencer and Main. Along the bus’s route, three stops worth noting for our layovers: First, the historic district of Crested Butte. Second, the Crested Butte Mountain Village and finally, the Three Rivers Resort in Alma for fly fishing. This stop is a flag stop and you have to tell the bus driver or the bus will continue without stopping. To get picked up here, just wait at the stop to waive the bus for your return.
Crested Butte was originally settled in the late 1800’s as a hard rock mining town. Today, visitors can step back in time and experience the sense of adventure the first explorers must have felt when they see this historic town. To get here, simply take the valley transit bus and get off at the “Crested Butte 4 Way” stop. As you exit the bus, you will be directly in front of the Crested Butte visitors center, which is at one end of the four-block-long historic district. Enjoy shopping, dining, and even a gourmet donut shop while you are in town.
I’d like to tell you that I had enough self-control to avoid Nikky’s Donut Shop while I visited. But that would be a lie… Look at how good these little guys are!
Mountain Village in Crested Butte is the entryway to world-class skiing on Mount Crested Butte. Nestled at the foot of the ski resort, Mountain Village offers direct access to the hills. I tried to get a half day pass. So you know, between the rentals and the pass, it came to about $180. You can check ahead of time to see if they have any specials at 877-547-5143. If that is out of your price range, you can still visit the public square and the patios with scenic views of the resort. It’s a great place to people watch, get something to eat and enjoy some fresh mountain air.
The Three Rivers Resort and Outfitting in Almont has a fly shop that offers guides, rental gear, and plenty of advice for a new fly fisherman. Many people don’t know that the Gunnison Valley has some of the worlds best fly fishing and many of Colorado’s record fish have come from the Taylor River, a tributary to the Gunnison River. I took the crew out last January for some winter fishing and made this video to share what a beautiful place this is.
Why is the Taylor River such a unique place to fish? It is protected from large amounts of fishing pressure by its remote location and the Taylor Park Reservoir which feeds the lower Taylor River. It has produced many trophy fish because it is filled with high-calorie mysis shrimp. Many decades ago, in an effort to bolster Colorado’s fishing, mysis shrimp were introduced to the reservoirs as food for the trout. These shrimp were originally harvested from the Great Lakes and thrive in very sterile low-nutrient waters and were thought to be a perfect match for the very pure mountain water reservoirs. For various reasons, only a handful of reservoirs successfully hosted and then fed the shrimp to these trout downstream. The Taylor River is one of the success stories of this project leading to very large and abundant trout for anglers to hook.
With trophy-sized Rainbow, Brown, and Brook Trout calling us just minutes away, I convinced the Captain to split the cost of a rental car with me. We did some serious team building by renting fly gear and hitting this exceptionally rare honey-hole of a river with a couple of fly rods. We braved the mid-January cold and headed up to the Taylor River reservoir. To get there, drive 15 minutes to Alma, rent your gear, and then continue 20 miles up Country Road 742 to the dam. The road twists and turns along the river bank among the high peaks of the mountains on both sides. As you drive, you will see well-marked let-in places to fish. I recommend starting at the top by the reservoir and working your way down.

At one point, Fluro Jesus shows up, repeatedly failing to crucify himself. These are just some of the elements repeated in Salomè. It’s madness through celluloid.
Similarly mad, though arguably less ambitious, is Guy Maddin’s The Forbidden Room. Maddin employs his distinctive style, in which he plays around with celluloid, projection and classical film technique, to tell a series of interlinked, somewhat funny stories.
Each of these separate location-stories is presented both in its own style and the style of the rest of the film. It’s as if Maddin found 15 different movies, and not just spliced but bled them together. To give you an idea of how much territory he covers: the film begins with an instructional movie simply titled ‘How to take a bath’. Before long we are on a submarine, and then in the woods, and then near windmills, and then Udo Kier shows up, and then we’re on a train, and then we’re in a nightclub, and then we’re on a volcanic island, and then back on the train again.
The technical scope of Maddin’s project is admirable, and there is some particularly stunning use of projections. He self-consciously derives quite a bit of humour from the deliberately melodramatic stories.

Willoughy-by-Walesby was once the main village within the parish of Walesby. It was a Saxon settlement mentioned in the Domesday Book as ‘Wilgebi’. The village was situated about 400 metres to the east of the current village of Walesby close to the beck that bisected the 2 settlements. The name. which means ‘dwelling by the willows’ was taken from the willows that grew in the area.
We lnow little about its history or inhabitants. The soils is of a clay content which may have meant the village was wetter than Walesby which mostly has a sand-based soil meaning it drains better and a more dry environment to live in. A slow migration to the drier land ensued over the years until Willoughby became deserted.
Today, the name is retained by the 2 farms that lie either side of the road that leaves Walesby to the villages of Milton, Tuxford and Kirton. As can be seen from the Google Earth image below, the earthwork remains of the trackways and platforms the houses stood on can be seen in the field to the south of the farm buildings. The other picitures were taken from the road where you can just see the earthwork remains of the village in the field.
If you have any further information regarding Willoughby and its history, please contact us so we can add it to this web site.

SimonOnSports: Just a Reminder, the Kazmir Deal Could Have Been Blocked
Just a Reminder, the Kazmir Deal Could Have Been Blocked
Just a reminder to Red Sox fans as Scott Kazmir takes the hill in Boston this afternoon, the Red Sox brass had the opportunity to block the deal but chose not to. When Kazmir was put on the waiver wire, every team in the AL with the exception of the Yankees had the opportunity to claim Kazmir before the Angels were able to. The Red Sox chose not to for whatever reason and the deal was consummated.
With the Angels Kazmir has started 6 games. He's 2-2 with a 1.73 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. The Angels are 4-2 in his starts despite scoring 2.33 runs per game. He has a Quality Start in 5 of 6 games with the only non-QS coming in his last start of the year when they pulled him after 5 innings.
If the Angels did not have Kazmir on their roster it's likely Ervin Santana would get the start. Ervin Santana in last years postseason was rocked by the Red Sox for 5 runs in 5+ innings. Kazmir on the other was baten around for 5 runs in his first outing in the ALCS but redeemed himself with 6 innings of shut out ball in his second outing.

Theater project for foster children – Pflege-Familien-Zentrum der Caritas Rostock – betterplace.org
Theater project for foster children
A project from Pflege-Familien-Zentrum der Caritas Rostock
Our theater project for and with foster children has been working intensively for a year with clearly recognizable benefits for all involved. Now it is time to continue and bring it to a successful conclusion.
The theater project for and with foster children and all their parents implemented by Caritas and GGP has been in existence since autum 2020. From the very beginning, we have been able to experience how much the weekly encounters under the guidance of an experienced theater pedagogue do everyone involved good: they broaden horizons, increase curiosity for new things, and are a lot of fun. And they bring the topic of being a foster child into play, not incidentally but a bit casually and thus unexcitedly. The children experience that their special life situation is not unique and have the opportunity to talk about things that concern them. In the first year, theater training in the form of games and warm-up exercises predominated. It was about trying out and getting to know one's own body, one's own playful abilities more closely. The pandemic created a second challenge: to keep the group together even during breaks in the project, to preserve the sense of community that had developed, to keep reaffirming the emotional closeness to each other. We are happy and a little proud of the fact that at the beginning of the second year of the theater, none of the group members even thought about quitting the project. And we have already achieved a lot: There is now a script, the children know their roles in the play - and identify with them to a high degree, also because they were allowed to invent them themselves and develop them a little. Currently, the focus is on rehearsing the play together: we rehearse weekly, practice the song that was developed especially for our play. This already indicates what will characterize our next year together: an ever deeper immersion in the play, an intensive joint text work, the joint play - and thus also the preoccupation with our own life issues, a lot of exchange, a lot of self-efficacy experience. The highlight next year will be the performance of the play in front of a "real audience". This will be a great success for all the children who are able to experience and shape the project. To make all this possible, we need additional funding.

Federal judge blocks enforcement of restrictive Louisiana abortion law - Brandon Sun
You are here: Brandon Sun > World > International Breaking News > Federal judge blocks enforcement of restrictive Louisiana abortion law International Breaking News
Sunday, Aug. 31, 2014 at 10:47 PM
BATON ROUGE, La. - A federal judge has temporarily blocked Louisiana from enforcing its restrictive new abortion law. But lawyers and advocates appeared to disagree about whether the judge's order affects doctors at all five abortion clinics in the state or only those at three clinics whose lawsuit challenges the measure.
The law requires doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges to a hospital within 30 miles (48 kilometres) of their clinics. The lawsuit claims doctors haven't had enough time to obtain the privileges and the law likely would close all five clinics.
