A declamation in the ancient Greco-Roman context refers to a speech in the character of a speaker before an imaginary law court on a fictional, mythical, or historical theme. The range of declamatory topics can be illustrated by examples such as Seneca’s Suasoria 6, in which a fictionalized Cicero considers whether to beg Mark Antony for his life; Lucian’s “The disowned son” (Abdicatus), on a son who studied medicine after being disowned but refused to cure his stepmother; and Choricius of Gaza’s Declamation 1 (10), in which Polydamas attempts to convince Priam that Achilles should be allowed to marry Polyxena. Practitioners declaimed in a variety of contexts. Both professional and amateur rhetors gave demonstration speeches before large audiences. Teachers produced model exercises and commentaries for the use of elite male students, for whom declamation represented an advanced phase of their rhetorical education. We possess a substantial corpus of Greek and Latin practice speeches, technical and pedagogical handbooks, and commentaries and working notes by practitioners and teachers that ranges from the Hellenistic to the Byzantine period. Nineteenth and 20th-century scholars paid little attention to declamation, and its contemporary study still remains relatively obscure. Part 1, consisting of the sections General Overviews and Essay Collections, accordingly begins with materials that may help orient the novice reader of declamation. Declamation has often been studied in the context of social history, principally family, education, and law. Literary scholars have examined this hybrid genre’s connection to other genres, such as New Comedy and the ancient novel. The article’s second part surveys the thematic studies involving declamation. Much scholarly effort still must be devoted to basic philological work: establishing reliable texts of declamation along with translations and commentaries. The article’s third part catalogs these fundamental research tools.
The surveys of Pernot 2000 and Kennedy 1994 are introductions to oratory in the Greek and Roman world aimed at general readers. Lausberg 1998 is a fundamental dictionary of rhetorical figures, with ample illustration from ancient, medieval, and Renaissance sources. Russell 1983 is a brief but essential introduction to the conventions of Greek Declamation; Heath 2004 provides far more extensive background in social history and rhetorical theory. Chapters in Dominik and Hall 2010 discuss declamation in the context of Roman rhetoric. Many of the more recent works on Declamation and Education supplement and supersede Bonner 1949.
Dated in some respects but still useful as a brief introduction. Traces the development of Roman declamation from Cicero through Seneca; the texts’ connections to Greco-Roman law; and declamation’s dialogue with the literature of the Julio-Claudian period.
Includes useful introductions to the role of oratory in Roman social and political life; Roman orators such as the Elder Seneca and Quintilian; and connections between declamation and literature in other genres.
Through focus on Menander Rhetor, a Greek rhetorical teacher of the 3rd century CE, Heath surveys historical developments in Greek rhetorical theory and the social context of declamatory study and practice.
Aimed at the general reader. Surveys Greco-Roman rhetoric from the 5th century BCE to the Byzantine period.
Lausberg, H. 1998. Handbook of literary rhetoric: A foundation for literary study. Edited by David E. Orton and R. Dean Anderson. Translated by M. T. Bliss, et al. Leiden, The Netherlands: Brill.
An exhaustive compilation of rhetorical figures, with references to Greek, Latin, and French rhetorical sources.
Aimed at the general reader. Surveys Greco-Roman rhetoric from the 5th century BCE to the Roman empire. Provides a useful glossary of rhetorical terms.
This classic brief survey of the conventions of Greek Declamation introduced the key term “Sophistopolis,” referring to the fictional world of declamation.

Pulling into Raleigh on Thursday afternoon we talked about all the great performances we’d seen from years past. With most big music festivals you know what to expect going in. You go for the big names and the hot buzzing acts. Maybe there is a nostalgia act or two mixed in. Hopscotch isn’t built like that, which makes it special. It’s a festival where classic acts reunite and you see if they’ve still got it. It’s a festival where experimental acts push the envelope for willing ears, sometimes into the wee hours of the morning. It’s a festival where fans flock to small clubs to see up-and-coming acts. A festival where you can hear top talent from the widest range of genres over three days that no other festival can compete with. So when you look back at the festival days later, months later, and years after you recall different things that you appreciate each time.
In 2018 the City Plaza stage shined. With the explosive and memorable performance of The Flaming Lips, the sharp angular indie rock of Speedy Ortiz, the psychedelic rock of indie giants Grizzly Bear, and revived career of Liz Phair who’s revisiting her indie rocker Girly Sound days more so than her early 2000’s pop venture. As is often the case though, sometimes the nostalgia doesn’t live up to expectations. And with such a wide variety of music, it takes a true music nerd to truly enjoy it all. This is a festival built for those types of people, but it takes more to fill the venues. At times crowds felt underwhelming and the energy of years past wasn’t quite there. The Basement is a vast echoing space, and while it’s a comfortable place for a fan to watch a show, it’s lacking in the charm area and I can’t imagine it being an enjoyable environment for bands. Other than Kings we never really had any trouble getting into shows this. There weren’t many of those rush of adrenaline moments where you didn’t know if you were going to get in to see a band, or if you should even try. And now that they have those Bird scooters you could really zip around town (before 9 PM) you could really get from venue to venue during the day. Last year we left filled with excitement over everything we’d seen. We saw Future Islands crush City Plaza and MC Taylor and company take on the Jason Molina catalogue. We saw Big Boi, Solange, and Run the Jewels play killer sets. And then to close it all out, we caught the first wave of fall and closed out our festival experience with Angel Olsen. These were the things going through my head when we were riding into town and this year left me wanting more. If it weren’t for The Flaming Lips, which was one of the most enjoyable things I’ve seen in all my years at Hopscotch, and that includes seeing The Flaming Lips there before, this year would have been much more of a whimper.
It doesn’t feel like a festival that’s fading away, but just a slight swing and a miss. It happens, and next year will most likely be a different story. In some ways Hopscotch moved back towards the programming that it moved away from last year, but maybe it was an overcorrection? But hey, you can’t make everyone happy. All said, here are some of our top acts of 2018.
U.S. Girls
Meghan Remy’s experimental pop project U.S. Girls has created quite a buzz this year with her album In A Poem Unlimited released this past February. Remy was backed with an impressive 7 member band when she hit the stage at Lincoln Theatre Thursday evening. The set began with Remy with an additional vocalist breaking out into a synchronized dance routine. It was clear from the start of the set that Remy was the star surrounded by a skilled band there to perform her unique creations adding screeching saxophone and 80’s guitar. U.S. Girls’ live performance is theater with Remy in her disco bug eyed sunglasses and sometime staring into the crowd silent for an extended period of time between songs. Many artists struggle to translate their albums to an intriguing live show, this is not the case for U.S. Girls who put on a show that would be intriguing to even the casual listener.
Night Shop
Thursday nights at Hopscotch are quieter than the rest of the weekend, a perfect evening for songwriter Justin Sullivan to play in a dimly lit entranced crowd at Fletcher. Sullivan who is most recognizable behind a drum set playing with Kevin Morby’s band The Babies, Sullivan moves to the front as a natural frontman. The audience was treated to hearing new songs off Night Shop’s debut album, In The Break, out September 14. Night Shop’s performance had the ease of hearing a familiar record you have listened to a hundred times. Following Night Shop’s set his current tour-mates Anna St. Louis and Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee took the stage at Fletcher.
Thundercat
When Thundercat took the City Plaza stage Friday night it was with a heavy heart. Hours earlier it was reported that rapper Mac Miller had passed away who was a close friend. Thundercat’s performance always feels inspired, but that performance felt special like it was coming from somewhere deeper. The entire set I found myself more tuned into the groove of drums and bass and wondered what was going through his head. I think he too was lost in the music.
The Flaming Lips
“F*CK YEAH HOPSCOTCH,” read the metallic balloons that filled the City Plaza stage as they teetered above frontman Wayne Coyne’s head. 7 years later The Flaming Lips returned to Hopscotch’s City Plaza with rainbow balloons, laser hands, and a gigantic space ball. This year brought joyous additions of a huge inflatable robot towering over Coyne’s head while he sang the classic Lip’s song “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1,” and a neon psychedelic unicorn Coyne rode through the crowd while singing “There Should Be Unicorns.” Attending a Flaming Lip’s show is a one of, and the audience during their set this year continued to be reminded of it throughout the festival finding remnants of confetti hidden in the nooks of City Plaza.
Michael Rault
Montreal based rocker Michael Rault made his way down the East Coast to play a 10:30 slot at Lincoln Theatre. Rault played many of the sunny new songs off his most recent album It’s A New Day Tonight that he recorded at the legendary Daptone’s House of Soul. During his live sets, Rault shows off his expertise as a guitarists leaning into the breakdowns and rifts heard in his songs. Rault and his band play as a perfectly united four-piece mellow and pragmatic as they move through their setlist. The band’s easygoing melodies was the perfect change of pace following Ohio based metal band Skeltonwitch’s set at The Bassment.
Ought
This past August, Montreal post-punk group Ought signed with Chapel Hill based record label Merge. Fitting for the band to play at King’s a venue known as a melting pot for North Carolina musicians including Merge founder’s Mac McCaughan and Laura Balance of Superchunk. Ought was a band to see, with King’s at capacity with eager fans waiting outside in line hoping to get into the view before their set began. Frontman Tim Darcy’s voice filled he room with the band’s loose but intense melodies.
Contour
When I saw Contour’s venue placement when the schedule came out I was very curious to see how it would work out. The Basement is a vast space, and the early time slot overlapped with some bigger acts. The Charleston four piece took the stage, with at least 15 of space between each other. It was exactly the opposite of what we last saw from Contour as they were packed like sardines on stage at The Royal American. They seemed comfortable and made for that stage though, with driving bass lines and Khari Lucas’ quiet confidence and intense eyes scanning the audience. For someone as quickly on the rise as Contour, playing to a massive mostly empty room is just paying dues until they’re headlining a stage in a few years.
Niecy Blues
Niecy Blues with her band made up of ET Anderson are the most interesting South Carolina act at the moment. Placed in Neptunes in the middle of the day, the band filled the small room with some familiar faces, but mostly with people who caught the buzz of the band. Each set they play feels special, like you’re in on a big secret that not everyone knows about. That’s a magical Hopscotch feeling that happens about once a year, and for it to be happening with a South Carolina act makes it all the more magical. Last year, on that same stage in a packed room it was Snail Mail. Hopefully Niecy Blues will catch that same huge way.
Vanity Plates
Brett Nash of Charleston band Secret Guest, now on indefinite hiatus, has been a state at Hopscotch for the past couple of years. Nash returned his year with his new project Vanity Plates. The Charleston trio’s band name, Vanity Plates, is evocative of their songwriting process. The band see’s a personalized license plate on the road and then writes a song about the name on the plates leading to song titles like “LIE2FX” and “GLOIN222.” Vanity Plates played to a packed out Deep South Bar Saturday night.

Even though using the appropriate safety equipment and clothing does not guarantee that you cannot be injured, it lowers the chances. Wear safety equipment to protect your chest, knees, shoulders, and shin. You may need faceguards, helmets, pads, or eyewear. Pay attention to the existing rules and regulations. They are set in place to minimize the risk of injury.
You do not need to train or play every day of the week. Take at least one day off to relax and heal your muscles. Athletes should rest for at least one month in the year. Resting after a period of playing or training makes it possible for your body to recover.
Set some time off to stretch before exercising. Consider jogging or doing a light activity for a minimum of ten minutes before you get into your regular training. Do not start playing before stretching your muscles. Stretching relieves muscle tension. It warns you and promotes flexibility.
Dehydration is a common effect of engaging in sports. Drink water before and after exercise to reduce your risk of dehydration. Take water breaks after every 15-20 minutes of activity. The hydration you need depends on your level of activity.
While it is important to push yourself during exercise, ensure that your goals are safe and attainable. Pushing yourself too hard may trigger injuries. Whether you hope to swim more laps, lift heavier weights, or run a specified distance, you should work gradually to achieve it.
Patience is the key to avoiding sports injuries. Do not push yourself too hard too fast. Learning a new sport and excelling at it takes time. Allow enough time to increase your training levels. When your body has time to adjust, you are unlikely to get injured.
Listening to your body may help you minimize injuries. If your body is showing any signs of stress, you need to adjust your level of activity. Even though minor and short-lived pain are good, you may need to seek help or cut back if it persists for long. Joint pain is always a sign of trouble.
In conclusion, sports injuries may be a result of trauma or overuse. Even though they are mostly obvious, they can be subtle and difficult to detect. If left untreated, the injuries may affect your general well-being and ability to play. Simple ways to prevent the injuries include listening to your body, setting realistic goals, drinking plenty of water, and using the appropriate safety equipment.

Music Events This Weekend in San Antonio
The Damn Torpedoes and Bubble Puppy
Fri., July 19, 8 p.m.
A lot of folks don't realize that Texas' contribution to '60s psychedelic rock, while not as storied as California's, was pretty damned significant. With homegrown bands like Moving Sidewalks and the 13th Floor Elevators priming local ears, Central Texas emerged as a tour hotspot for bands pumping fuzz through big amps. Maybe that explains how San Antonio psych act Bubble Puppy landed an opening slot for the Who back in 1967. Half a century later, Bubble Puppy is still around — and with a newish LP called Certified Badass. Don't miss these Texas legends as they perform their hit "Hot Smoke and Sassafras" along with other amazing tunes featuring fleet-fingered fretwork. The Damn Torpedoes — a Tribute to Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers — rounds out the bill. (210) 223-2830

For fans of smooth jazz in San Antonio and beyond, the Balcones Heights Jazz Festival is an institution at this point. The free festival, now in its 26th year, consistently offers up some of the best regional talent in the ear-candy subgenre. This year, the event organizers expect, based on previous numbers, to welcome more than 4,000 festival-goers over the course of the four Fridays of the fest. The latest installment of the quirky festival has the unique distinction of featuring an all-woman lineup — a rarity for any genre of music, really — for the very first time. Festival organizer Lorenzo Nastasi said in a press release that the idea to go all-woman this year was inspired by, and in part to be understood as a celebration of, the many women in leadership positions in Balcones Heights. It's ultimately an admirable and exciting move by the organizers. Slated performers are Wednesday Ball and Ragan Whiteside (July 12), MiChelle Garibay-Carey and Jessy J (July 19), Elizabeth Mis and Jeanette Harris (July 26) and Kayla Waters and Lindsey Webster (August 2). Each performer will, as per tradition, get more than an hour of stage time.

Rotten Tomatoes never lets me down. I’m serious. I go to check out what theater is closest — it uses Flixster, (the RT affiliate app on my iphone) and gets me there. What’s coming out next week? What’s good? What’s bad? What’s not worth 13.50-plus in IMAX? Same result every time. Rotten Tomatoes is genius!
Recently, I made a mistake of checking for the first review of Iron Man 2 — the apocalyptically anticipated sequel to the 2008 blockbuster Iron Man. I found a review. It was from the floundering paper mill, The Hollywood Reporter, courtesy of our good friend (I don’t know him, who does?), Kirk Honeycutt.
“Well, that didn’t take long. Everything fun and terrific about “Iron Man,” a mere two years ago, has vanished with its sequel.”
I’ve been bamboozled! I keep looking around….WHAT?! He HATED Brothers and Sherlock Holmes. I’ve been duped! So here it is; my attempt to rid the world of that dastardly first review.
Iron Man 2 was a total blast. The villains weren’t quite up to The Dark Knight standards, but this isn’t Batman’s world is it? We’re dealing with a new hero here. Rich, charming (oh man, is he charming), hilarious, and the king of any situation…drunk in the Iron Man suit — no problem!. He’s smarter than you. He’s got more money than you. He’s needs nothing you have and has whatever you might want. He is the perfect superhero and IM2 is his fueled, dying, sarcastic stage. The show lasts two hours, please stay through the credits.
IM2 also weaves the perfect intro into the “Avengers Era”. Clues throughout, a brilliant Easter Egg at the end and intertwining characters make it the perfect kickoff to the films leading into The Avengers, the anticipated superhero Magnus Opus set for summer 2012.
There were a few things wrong with this movie. Don Cheadle just seemed out of place. I’ll be honest, its tough to compete with Robert Downey Jr. on any screen at any time; he’s pure entertainment. Cheadle’s Lt. Col. James “Rhodey” Rhodes was, ‘mehh’. Terrance Howard didn’t steal the show, neither did Cheadle; we’ll call it a draw. Why can’t Stark just control both suits? There’s our fix.
Scarlett Johansson was perfectly cast as the busty poised Natalie Rushman/Natasha Romanoff and played it coolly across the entire movie. She had her scene. It was neat. It was quick. It was nothing new. Though, for some reason, we had to watch our boy Jon Favreau go all Mike Tyson and box some random security guard! I’m trying to watch Scarlet get her kick on!? I couldn’t’ focus during the fight anyway… I kept thinking Elektra…Elektra….why do I keep think … The suit! It’s the leather suit! Yep, got it. Elektra continues to ruin my life annually.
Once we got back to our boy Tony, everything in the world seemed right again. Oh! One more note — I love Sam Rockwell, I hope to never give him a negative review as long as I live. He was great as the “outcast younger brother” Justin Hammer. Well done, as always. And Mickey Rourke in tats wielding long blades of lightening … I’ll take it. But that’s not why we came to see the movie is it. We came for the man of the hour: Indiana Jones, Jack Sparrow, Jake Sulley!
This is Tony Stark, the most loveable playboy/superhero/billionaire on Earth — hopelessly in love with Pepper Potts almost as much as he’s in love with himself.

Bodhi 5.0.0 - new features
06-16-2018, 11:12 AM #1
I am curious about how Bodhi 5.0.0 looks like and in what ways it is different from Bodhi 4.5.0.
I understand that everyone is busy but if someone could put a short video on YouTube that would be great.
Currently, there are three or four Bodhi 5.0.0 Alpha "reviews" that talk about Bodhi AppCenter and the installation process.
I believe that Bodhi deserves a better YouTube presence.

To an end user there won't be many (any?) major changes between the 4.5 release and the 5.0 release. The main purpose of a new "major" release for Bodhi is to update the Ubuntu core that we build on top of. In this case Bodhi 5 is built on top of Ubuntu 18.04.

There are tons of fixes related to Moksha desktop background made by Ylee and some also visible for the end user made by me. I can mention some of them:
Submenus showing to the left side (like LXDE)
Fixed long menu issue (when the number of items exceed the screen limits)
Shot module - two dialogs
Systray grabbing issue fix
Many themes fixes and more
https://github.com/JeffHoogland/moksha/commits/master
Give us some more time for the another BL 5 release. New Plymouth is preparing and there are also some theme tweaks in arc-theme in the plan.

Some files appear on the desktop with an icon (.csv) and the ones that are pdf appear as a thumbnail (nice!). However, I notice an issue, some other files types (ods, xls, xlsx, odt, doc) show a mere grey icon (even though those files do show a nice icon on pcmanfm)...

Some long-awaited fixes (like the menus cascading to the other side when there is no more space to the right).
Time to give Bodhi another look.
However, just my 5cents worth, I don't see myself going to Reddit. I've never used it for anything, never found it any better (rather worse) than the traditional places (like here) - so going to Reddit for just one single forum isn't worth it. Here, at least we can come for all our Linux distros.

Posts Tagged 'Sector Rotation'
U.S. Equity Market Radar (August 13, 2012)
The S&P 500 Index rose 1.07 percent this week as the equity market has rallied for five weeks in a row. It has been a choppy ride but the market is looking past the current economic weakness and focusing on expected government policy action. Cyclicals led the way this week with materials, energy and technology setting the pace. Defensive, lower beta sectors such as utilities and consumer staples were down for the week.
The materials sector was the best performer this week rising 2.83 percent driven by a rally in the steel and metals and mining areas. Standout performers included Freeport—McMoRan, U.S. Steel and Allegheny Technology.
The energy sector also performed well with coal names particularly strong. Coal companies Consol Energy, Peabody Energy and Alpha Natural Resources all rose by more than 6 percent as interest in the space returns as the entire sector has been under tremendous pressure over the past year with many stocks in this space down 50 percent or more.
Dean Foods was the best performer in the S&P 500 this week rising by 36 percent as the company announced it will spin off its organic and soy milk operation.
The utility sector lagged on what appeared to be sector rotation into more cyclical areas. Utilities have still outperformed over the past three months.
Consumer staples also underperformed this week, likely due to sector rotation.
Monster Beverage was the worst performer this week in the S&P 500, falling by nearly 19 percent. The company reported earnings that disappointed and the company announced it had received a subpoena relating to energy drink sales and promotion.
The market remains focused on the potential monetary policy action from the European Central Bank (ECB) and China and is looking past the current economic weakness.
While policy makers in Europe have made strides to stabilize the situation, many risks remain and the situation remains very fluid.
The S&P 500 is now less than 1 percent away from the highs reached in April and is at a technical resistance level.

Think for a minute, if you will, about your equity portfolio. Do your investments there reflect any sentiment around sectors? For example, you may have shed some of your financial stocks over the past few years. Or you may see opportunity in industrials, so you've chosen a mutual fund or ETF that gives you exposure.
No matter which investment vehicle you're using, chances are that your opinions about sectors are somehow reflected in your equity investments. But often that's not the case in the fixed income portion of investors' portfolios. With the investing tools available today – fixed income ETFs being a powerful example – expressing a precise view on bond sectors may be easier than you think.
The US corporate bond market is comprised of 3 sectors: financials (33%), industrials (56%), and utilities (11%). Bonds are classified into one of these sectors based on the issuer's primary line of business and the revenue streams that are used to repay their debt. As you can see in the periodic table below, the disparity of returns between these three is notable – the average annual return difference between the top and bottom performing sectors has been 4.2% in the past 10 years.
The returns also tell a story about the performance of the US economy over the past decade. From the strong performance in corporate bonds leading up to the financial crisis, to the underperformance of financials in 2008, and then the rebound that all three sectors experienced in 2009 and 2010.
Fixed income ETFs provide a compelling solution for investors wanting to make tactical plays or employ a sector rotation strategy in their bond portfolio. For example, if you have a negative view of financials, you can reduce your overall exposure to the sector by buying a broad corporate bond ETF (such as LQD) and then tactically overweighting an industrials ETF (such as ENGN) and a utilities ETF (such as AMPS). Or, a more hands-on approach might be to buy all three sector funds (ENGN, AMPS, and MONY), and then tactically manage the weights based on current themes and market events. No matter which strategy you choose, there is now a new set of tools to implement your views.
Bonds and bond funds will decrease in value as interest rates rise. In addition to the normal risks associated with investing, narrowly focused investments typically exhibit higher volatility. The Fund is subject to credit risk, which refers to the possibility that the debt issuers may not be able to make principal and interest payments or may have their debt downgraded by ratings agencies.

The Mutually Exclusive Rally
The nature of this rally in its 'exclusivity' has been quite striking. While I said near the turn of the year we needed to see a broadening into new sectors for the rally off the December 19th low, I – nor anyone – could anticipate how things turned on a dime in terms of sector rotation. One does not expect the previous sector leadership to completely be abandoned in lieu of the new sectors – instead the general playbook is a broadening of strength with new groups taking the baton from the old, but both (the old and the new) doing well in a relative sense Usually all most groups will participate in a broader market upswing, but that has not been the nature of this leg of the rally; it has all happened in 3 broad sectors. These were of course the laggards of latter 2011 so you had to do a complete flip out of the winning sectors and into the laggards – or have a very difficult time generating any performance.
Let me show you graphically (using sector SPDR ETFs) how mutually exclusive this rally has been thus far.
This first graph is roughly a 5 week period leading up the December 19th bottom – one can see the defensive sectors leading: consumer staples, healthcare, utilities. All other groups were either flat or sharply negative.
While not broken out below (as the chart is from Dec 19th forward), the first week or so if this move off the Dec 19 bottom actually was focused on the same groups listed above – hence the underperformance seen below since Jan 1 in utilities and consumer staples is even worse than the chart shows. Then on the turn of the year it is as if a light switch went on and all the money was moved into the new 3 new winning sectors: financials, materials, and industrials. All of this movement has essentially been post Jan 1.
If you are like me, staring at a gaggle of stocks (many former leaders of late 2011) on watch lists that are (a) doing nothing or (b) retreating in 2012 – while the broader indexes continue to either move sideways (6 sessions this year) or gap up (2 sessions this year) – this is your explanation. If you are not positioned in this select group of sectors, you have had little to no opportunities of late to make money on the long side. Worse, anyone who shorted "weakness" coming into the year received a double whammy. 2011′s "weakness" is where the money has been made thus far in 2012 – almost exclusively.
Side note – it is strange that technology, as a broader sector, has been flat in 2012 – as it would generally move with the 'growthy' sectors that have been this year's favorites. It looks like whatever strength has been seen in semiconductors (a very cyclical group) has been offset by weakness in other areas such as software. Energy has also generally been a laggard in 2012 relative to materials (generally they move together); another quirk of this new year rally.

The Narrowing Gap between US and Emerging Markets in 2011
Prepared by John Zechner, JZechner Associates, sub-advisor to NexGen Financial. January 2011
Going forward, we remain positive on the outlook for stocks over the next 2-3 year period and have positioned your portfolio accordingly, even though we are more wary about a short-term correction in the stock market given the sharp advances since last August. In terms of the portfolio themes, the stocks still reflect an outlook for expanding global economic growth. The only difference is that we think that growth will slow down to more normal rates in the Emerging Economies (particularly China) and will pick up somewhat in North America. This should lead to better performance from domestic stock sectors such as retailing, autos, housing, rail, technology and even financials. On the other side, we don't expect commodity stocks to continue to dominate the gains the way they have in the past two years even though they may continue to rise. The gains should come more from volume growth as opposed to price growth. We will continue to monitor all economic developments though and shift the portfolios accordingly and in line with the opportunities presented by the market.
At month end the Fund had an asset mix of 53.8% of its assets in stocks, 22.9% in fixed income and 23.3% in cash. Within the stock component, 74% of those assets were in Canadian stocks and the remaining 26% was in US stocks, primarily in the Technology and Financial sectors.
Canadian Balanced Growth Fund – Review and Strategy
We had another month of exceptionally strong relative performance in the NexGen Canadian Balanced Growth Fund in December as Asset Mix, Sector Rotation and Stock Selection all contributed to the gains. We generated returns for the month, the 4th quarter and the full year which were all well ahead of the Benchmark Performance Measure for this fund. The Asset Mix favoured stocks, which again did better than bonds last month. Sector overweight positions in the resource stocks and underweight positions in financial stocks both added value during the month. In terms of specific stocks, Manulife Finanical (up 19.5% on the month), Suncor Energy (up 10.8%), Quadra FNX Mining (up 18.2%), Thompson Creek Metals (up 16.8%) and Gold Wheaton (up 14.7% on buyout offer from Franco-Nevada Mining) were the biggest contributors to the December advance in your portfolio. Uranium Participation (down 4.5%) and Research in Motion (down 8.2%) were the biggest drags on the portfolio last month.
North American Growth Fund – Review and Strategy
The return for the NexGen North American Growth Fund was strong again in December and well ahead of the benchmark for the Fund (50% S&P/TSX Composite Index/50% S&P500 Index in Canadian dollars). The Fund was also well ahead of this benchmark measure for the 4th quarter and full-year periods. The strategy has remained consistent throughout this year with an emphasis on the Canadian resource sector and an underweight in US consumer stocks. Cash has been at minimal levels for most of the year.
As of December 31st, cash in the Fund was 6.7% with Canadian stocks at 57.8%, well above the 50% benchmark for the Fund. Key sector positions included Energy, Basic Materials and Technology. Key portfolio names in the Energy sector include Athabaska Oil, Talisman Energy, Petrobank Energy, Suncor and Uranium Participation. In the Basic Materials sector, the largest holdings include Barrick Gold, Kinross Gold, Thompson Creek Metals and Yamana. Other significant holdings include Canadian Tire and Research in Motion as well as Sun Life and TD Bank in the Financials.
US stocks remain below their benchmark weight of 50% with a month end level of 35.4 % of the portfolio. The focus within the US stocks remains on multinational companies with strong export businesses and a focus on the business market, rather than the consumer. Key stocks include the newly-issued General Motors, General Electric, Exxon Mobil, Freeport-McMoran and Cliffs Natural Resources. The Fund also has large positions in Bank of America and JP Morgan in the Financials and Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Intel, Cisco, Apple and IBM in the Technology sector.
Financial Markets: Monthly Review and Outlook
Stocks carried the momentum from the rally that started in August right into the end of 2010 as improving economic data, strong earnings growth, increased corporate activity and falling bond prices all motivated investors who were either out of the stock market or holding too many bonds to shift funds into the equities on a more upbeat outlook for 2011. In Canada, the S&P/TSX Composite Index followed up the 3rd quarter gain of 10.2% with a 4th quarter increase of 9.5% to push the index to an annual return of 17.6%. This followed the 35.0% return generated by the index in 2009. The strength in the 4th quarter of 2010 followed the pattern of the entire 2-year rally with the resource sectors leading the advance. The Basic Materials lead the 4th quarter advancers with a gain of 14.1%, despite a lack of help from the gold stocks which only advanced 5.0% for the quarter. Energy stocks were a close 2nd for the quarter with a gain of 13.5% while Financials lagged with a gain of only 4.0% and the Telecom sector fell by 1.1%. It was the same story for the annual returns where the largest positive impact on the index was the 35.8% gain for the Basic Materials sector. The Consumer Discretionary and Health Care sectors were the only other ones to beat the index last year, and that was driven primarily by the performance of 2 stocks, Magna in the Consumer group and Biovail (now Valeant Pharmaceutical) in Health Care. Laggard groups in 2010 included Financials, Energy and Technology with gains, respectively, of 4.4%, 8.7% and 4.7%. Interesting as well was the difference in returns for the smaller stocks versus the large cap group. The TSX60, which is made up of the largest 60 stocks in the index including all the major banks, the larger energy companies and RIM, gained just 10.9% in 2010 while the TSX Completion Index (total index less the TSX60) gained 26.5% for the year! Clearly good stock selection was able to deliver superior investment results for the year. When we looked at our strongest gainers for the past year they were almost all smaller names, including Grand Cache Coal (up 106%), Uranium One (up 75%), Farallon Mining (up 45%), Magna International (up 44%) and Gold Wheaton (up 43%). Laggards in 2010 included the larger financial names (Royal Bank down 7.5% and Manulife down 11.3%) and RIM (down 18%).
Outside of Canada the rally continued as well, leading to strong annual gains for most global stock markets. In the US, the S&P500 saw almost all of its gains come in the 4th quarter with an advance of 10.2%, which lead to an annual gain of 12.8%. Strength in US technology stocks (particularly Apple and Google) helped push the Nasdaq Index to a 16.9% annual gain. The MSCI World Index gained 9.6% in 2010, driven in large part by the 4th quarter gain of 8.6%. Germany lead the European markets with a gain of 16.1% in 2010 as that economy benefited from weakness in the Euro currency and strength in the manufacturing sector. Emerging Markets as a group were also strong last year with the MSCI index up 16.4%. A notable exception to the global stock market gains was in China, where the Shanghai index fell by 14.5% in 2010, despite the fact that China was probably the biggest source of economic strength in the global economy and clearly the leader in driving the strength in the Basic Materials (commodity) sector.
While stocks were rallying into year-end, bonds were headed in the other direction despite the best efforts of the US Federal Reserve to add support to long-term Treasury prices by the announcement in early November that they would be buying over US$600 billion worth of Treasury securities over a six-month time frame (the much bally-hoed "QE2" program). Bond prices were also hurt by more indicators of economic strength coming in North America and Europe, which had been laggards thus far in the recovery. This is one of the key themes we have focused on for our outlook in 2011. Although we remain positive on the outlook for global economic growth as well as global stock markets in general, we believe that the nature of this advance will be changing somewhat. The Emerging Markets of the world had been the stalwarts of growth following the collapse in 2008 as their lighter government and consumer debt burdens and inherent secular shift into industrial versus agricultural economies. China had been the leader over the past two years with the real annual growth rate surpassing12% early last year. But as we enter 2011, the spread between economic growth rates in the US and Emerging markets will narrow, with US growth picking up and China in particular slowing down a bit. This will still push global growth higher but it won't be as strongly focused on the commodity sectors that generally gain when Emerging economies dominate global growth. We expect that consumer goods and services, technology, autos and even housing will start to grow again this year but that it will be tougher on the commodity trade, which suddenly won't be the 'only game in town.'
One of the big reasons why we see a stronger recovery taking hold in the US is that there are two big sectors that have effectively been 'running at zero' but which are now starting to show some signs of recovery. For both of these sectors, just a return to 'trend' growth will lead to some huge gains. The first is autos. The US industry is clawing its way back from selling 8-9 million units of production to 11-12 million annually. But 10 million to 12 million units, against a fleet of 220 million units, just barely replaces the autos that are literally dying each year. So there has really been no discretionary spending there. Housing, which has yet to show any recovery, is in a similar condition. Housing starts are running at 500,000 to 600,000 units a year. The ongoing trend demand in housing is roughly 1.4 million units a year; that's a combination of household formation growth of 1.1 million, and 300,000 houses fall down each year. So, again, the US has been under-producing and living off excess inventory, but that can only go on so long.

David Rosenberg on 'Buy and Hold'
This article is a guest contribution by Richard Shaw, QVM Group.
In market comments (03/11/2010), David Rosenberg of Gluskin Sheff, said.
"When we look at the last 12 years, dating back to LTCM and the bailout that ensued, we have endured a 60% rally, followed by a 50% selloff, followed by a 100% rally, followed by a 60% selloff, followed by a 70% rally. … this is a great case for active portfolio management, also a lesson that investors will not lose out by going long after a 50% collapse from the high; nor are they likely to feel much pain from selling into a 70% rally from the low. …."
He supported that statement with this chart:
Virtually everybody knows that the return on S&P 500 has been pretty much flat for the past 10-12 years, however hiding in money market funds is not a good long-term solution, and neither is an all bond portfolio (unless you are in a very late stage of life).
He did not detail what he meant by "active management", but it is somewhat clear that he did not mean active stock selection or sector rotation. He meant owning stocks when they are rising and not owning them when they are falling — either by switching the intended stock allocation to bonds or by holding near-cash when the stocks are falling (unless you are a trend follower with shorts).
Some would call that "market timing", which is a pejorative label in many people's minds, but when extended periods of many months or a few years is the interval between being IN or being OUT, we think "trend following" is a more accurate label.
Sitting around all day trying to scalp a few ticks or a few points as a day trader, is playing in the realm of nearly random price gyrations. Making decisions about intermediate and long-term trends and positioning accordingly (either In or Out, or Long or Short) is outside of he realm of random price gyrations, as these two 20-year S&P 500 monthly charts illustrate (a Bricks chart and a Simple Moving Average Cross-Over chart):
Brick Chart (time independent)
Moving Average Cross-Over Chart (time dependent)
Three Primary Asset Categories:
The biggest issue is not whether you have the right choice of funds or stocks, but whether you have the right mix of the three basic asset types "Loans", "Ownership" or "Reserves".
For some, rebalancing between the three categories within a fixed or collared allocation range will probably work; and for some others moving the Loan or Ownership assets into and out of risk with Reserves as default will likely work too; as this chart of the Dow Jones Corporate Bonds Total Return index and the Dow Jones Composite (stock) Total Return index suggest (stocks in black and bonds in red):
This Dow Jones US Asset Allocation chart also suggests the value of rebalancing, and perhaps of moving into and out of key asset categories on a major trend reversal basis (chart shows five stock/bond allocations labeled for the percent of stocks in the mix: 100, 80, 60, 40, and 20):
Relevant Securities: Stock ETFs that related closely to these charts are SPY, IVV, VTI, IWB and IWV. Bond ETFs that relate closely to these charts are BND, AGG, and LAG.
Summary: In the current and recent stock market environment, a straight Buy & Hold strategy is too risky for those investors who have essentially completed the accumulation stage of life and who cannot replace major asset losses that may persist for years, or for those who are or are about to rely on their assets to support lifestyle. Some kind of dynamic movement into and out of, or between, the three major asset types is a potentially effective risk moderating approach.

Layla Mattress Overview Best Mattress For Back Sleepers
Layla Sleep is the organization that was established as an answer to all the concerns that consumers were facing in regards to discovering the best mattress.
They designed a product by very first recognizing customer wishes and then developing a mattress that resolves those wishes. They discovered that the two biggest issues with memory foam mattresses were temperature and support.

The Layla mattress was developed specifically to address those concerns.
Layla: How is it Made?
The Layla Memory Foam mattress is 10 ″ high and is specifically developed to be flippable, which gives you 2 firmness choices.
The firmer side of the mattress is made up of of a 4.5 ″ layer of dense poly foam with a 1 ″ layer of copper-infused memory foam over that.
The softer side of the mattress has a 2 ″ layer of convoluted poly foam that functions as a transition layer to soften the mattress. (This layer appears like egg crate foam) Just above that is a 3 ″ layer of copper-infused memory foam. This is the side for people who enjoy the standard memory foam feel of sinking into the mattress, and being cradled as it contours around your body.
The copper infused memory foam produces cooling benefits by deflecting heat far from your body and keeping you comfortable as you sleep.
The copper gel memory foam layer likewise helps offer a luxurious, super supportive feel to the mattress because the copper doesn’t yield under pressure and actually pushes back with a firming response.
There is also a detachable cover which is very soft and can be cleaned.
The foams that are used are all approved by CertiPUR-US. This indicates there are no PBDEs, ozone depleters, TDCPP or TCEP (” Tris”) flame retardants, lead, formaldehyde, mercury or phthalates.Best Mattress For Back Sleepers

HOW FIRM IS THE LAYLA?
This flippable mattress provides you two firmness options. The soft side is medium soft; about a 3.5 out of 10. Side sleepers will enjoy this side with the cradling feeling for your pressure points.
The firm side is a medium to medium firm; 7 out of 10 and is favored by back and stomach sleepers because of the increased firmness and less sinkage. Side sleepers who enjoy a firmer mattress will more than happy with this side too.
The larger you are, the softer the bed will feel. It is best for people under 230 pounds.
Motion Transfer
If you share your bed with a partner or a family pet that moves around a lot then the amount of movement that you feel throughout the sleep surface is an important factor.
Sleeping on the Layla mattress you will not feel movement throughout the memory foam mattress as it does an outstanding job of dulling any movement on both the firm and soft surfaces.
Why Buy a Copper Infused Mattress?
Since temperature control is one of the most crucial aspects for a comfy night’s sleep, Layla has actually infused their bed mattress with copper to provide you with natural heat disbursement.
Did you know that copper is the 2nd most conductive metal in the world?
It disperses heat so successfully which is why high end pots and pans are made with copper.
One of the benefits of sleeping on a copper infused mattress is that there is less chance of getting over heated and sweaty while you sleep and rather it in fact really helps keep you cool.
This is since copper transfers heat and actually pulls it far from your body like a magnet keeping you comfy through the night. Not too hot and not too cold!
Another advantage of copper is that it is a natural antibacterial and antiviral. Copper actively kills germs, fungis, molds and viruses!

Does the Layla Mattress Have a Weight Limit?
After speaking to customer service at Layla Sleep, we were told that the memory foam mattress and the new hybrid mattress both can hold up to 1,000 pounds.
We were also told that the hybrid does offer more stability to larger people because of the pocketed inner coils which give it more structure than the regular memory foam mattress.
The memory foam is created to push against pressure, providing great support, especially for back and side sleepers.

The ABI also welcomed the PM's agreement to its request to extend to the maximum of 42 days the amount of time claims can be made under the scheme. The announcement came as the ABI revised its estimated figure of claims likely to be paid out by the insurance industry to be in excess of £200 million. ??The UK insurance industry is committed to working in partnership with the Government and the police to play its part in helping businesses and communities recover from the damage. In addition to its own activity, the industry has offered the Government the following help so the police compensation schemes can run effectively: - Senior claims directors to provide overall strategic advice to the Government.
- Assistance in negotiating appropriate rates with loss adjusters. Otto Thoresen, the Director General of the ABI says: "The insurance industry is already paying out claims to people with insurance, but wants to do more to support the Government in helping people get back on their feet. We will work in partnership with the Government, and share our expertise, to make sure that the police compensation schemes work effectively and get compensation to people who need it quickly.

Males have long dominated the gaming universe, in which the market has been carefully crafted and positioned to attract male gamers; using stereotypical themes such as sports, car racing, war games and other high speed and typically masculine pursuits. This aura of male gaming began in the 1980’s when market research suggested that the majority of gamers were male, and as such, this is what the gaming industry set to target. Whilst it’s not to say that there were no female gamers back then, there simply weren’t enough for a female gaming orientated market to be profitable.
However, fast forward to 2020 and there has been a significant increase in the amount of female players. Whilst this may not be enough of a shift to completely transform the gaming market just yet, it’s certainly been disruptive to the industry in which both marketers and games developers alike will need to reconsider the approach in the very near future. So what’s caused the rise in female gamers? What affect is it having on the market? And what games are female players gravitating towards? Let’s take a look…
The shifting of demographics in online gamers
According to data commissioned by Google, last year alone, the female gaming industry grew by 19%. Interestingly, data also shows that the majority of female players are based in Asia, with 45% of the female gaming community being based in China, while South Korea, Japan, and South East Asia make up another 40%. As technological hubs, this date isn’t so surprising, yet this means that just 15% of female gamers come from the rest of the world, showing a definitive lack of female gamers in the Western world still.
In addition, whilst more and more female players are beginning to take their place in the industry, studies show that the demographics for each type of gaming still vary greatly for each gender, with female players playing a more passive role in online gaming. In a study by NewZoo, where different types of gaming personas were looked at in detail, data showed that 36% of female gamers played online games as a way of passing time, whereas just 19% of men fell into this category. 17% of gamers fell into the cloud gaming category, similarly to 20% of men. This made up the largest category of playing for men, meaning that many of today’s games are now created for cloud platforms where little technology is needed, games are fast, free and easy to access. As the majority of female players do so to pass the time, this also works in their favour as we see an influx of new, fast and convenient games on the market.
Most females tend to play games to ‘pass time’ so they prefer fast and convenient games.
Moreover, the third persona category that NewZoo studied was the ‘Popcorn Gamer’. The Popcorn gamer category covers the e-sports spectator audience where participants are more likely to prefer being a spectator, rather than getting involved in the game themselves. According to data, these types of consumers are easier to reach on platform such as Twitch and YouTube, rather than more common media channels for marketing and advertising. The study showed that 14% of this category was made up of female gamers, suggesting that whilst the gaming market is becoming more popular with females; there is still a larger spectator market than males.
What types of games are girls playing?
Studies have found that males gamers are more likely to play games to compete with others and destroy things, whereas female gamers are looking for a challenge to complete and to immerse themselves in another world. It is likely that females do not like to play games where there are increased amounts of graphic violence, and it is men who are more inclined to play these types of games. Some female gamers also like to go on sites such as sa gaming to play.
In particular, females have been found to prefer more puzzle and interactive based games that can be usually played on a handheld device. Women tend to be more comfortable when gaming via a mobile device as they find it more personal and private which has led to the growth of women participating in activities such as online gambling. Online casino games such as slot games have seen a surge in recent years due to their mobile compatibility, allowing any player to access the game at their own convenience and at their own leisure. This has led to the increase of female users of online casino sites as they can access the sites privately via their small mobile screen rather than a large desktop. And it is not just online casino games that females are enjoying in the gambling world, there are also dominating online bingo games too.
Whilst car racing, war and action games may not be at the top of the list for female gamers still, it is safe to say online bingo is. Research has shown that of all online bingo players, 62% are said to be female, whereas just 38% of males make up the demographics. In addition, the majority of online bingo players fall into the age category of 24-35. These statistics are likely due to the significant shift in bingo games in recent years, with these games being accessible via a mobile so players can access the games on the go any time. This supports reasoning that females prefer games that are technologically adapt and are quick and easy to access.
Women prefer to play games via a handheld device as studies showed they feel more private.
Overall, with their being over one billion female gamers in the world today, there’s no doubt that the gaming industry is facing a certain amount of disruption. Studies and statistics suggest that whilst female players are becoming more common, there is still a trend in the stereotypically feminine games that women play, compared to men. One of the key trends seems to be that women favour quick and convenient games to the more traditionally male orientated games such as COD and GTA. One reason for this could be that the traditional role of women is also changing rapidly in which women now often play many different personas in their personal and professional lives. However, one thing is for sure- female gamers are certainly on track to dominate the gaming market if the level of growth we have seen recently continues.

Atsikbasis says that when she returned to the island she noticed Wilberg "really fell in love with the dog."
Melia Atsikbasis, now 16, grew up with Max. She says that if she could, she would go to Canada and beg to have him back again. (Atsikbasis family)
And the heart of the ownership dispute appears to be a misunderstanding — or disagreement — over a conversation about a "holiday" for Max. Atsikbasis says Wilberg suggested Max should go with her to Vancouver for a few months.
"Then the same evening, I said, 'It's not possible … it's my daughter's dog, and she'd be devastated.'"
"She texted me, 'Yes you can take him.' And so no, there was a very clear understanding, because I think she wanted to do the right thing."
"From the first moment I saw him I loved him and I still do. And I want him to be part of my family again."
Screen captures of texts sent back and forth indicate Atsikbasis immediately demanded Max be returned.
The Greek-Australian family contacted RCMP at Vancouver airport, who questioned Wilberg upon her arrival with Max but let her go.
Since then, Atsikbasis says she's filed a theft complaint with local police on Lesbos and has contacted the Canadian Embassy in Athens and the Greek Consulate in Vancouver.
The Greek consul general in Vancouver confirmed to CBC News he is aware of this incident, but can do nothing at this time.
In March, Wilberg had animal rights lawyer Rebeka Breder send what amounted to a "cease and desist letter" to Atsikbasis.
The warning reads in part: "We … are writing to you to demand that you cease all communications with her in regard to Max.
"If you fail to abide by this demand, we will seek instructions to vigorously pursue any and all available legal remedies against you, without further notice to you."
"I really wish all of the time and energy and devotion that they are taking to pursue this … was actually given to Max — and it wasn't."
"I would do it again, yes, definitely. The thought of leaving him behind, I would have left my heart there. It would have been impossible to do."
'I would do it again, yes, definitely. The thought of leaving him behind, I would have left my heart there. It would have been impossible to do,' says Monique Wilberg. (CBC)
"She might have fallen in love with him, but you don't do that sort of thing for a good cause … I don't know what the law is in Canada, but maybe if you have a dog for a month or two, maybe it's officially yours?"
Holding back tears, she adds, "I would go all the way to Canada just to see him … I would want to go up to her door, ring the bell and I would beg her to give Max back if I could."

According to The Motley Fool, many Americans claim their Social Security benefits as soon as they can, at age 62. In “Social Security for Spouses: When 66 is Worth Waiting For,” The Motley Fool suggests that instead of rushing to claim benefits as soon as possible, spouses consider how waiting may allow them to maximize their benefits.
There are many scenarios in which waiting until full retirement age (at least 66) will allow you to claim more than if you start your benefits before the age of 66 because anyone—single or married—who claims benefits before full retirement age will get less than they would if they had waited.
The article outlines a scenario in which someone waits until full retirement age to put in a restricted application for the spousal benefit (which would be half of what that person’s spouse would receive) and then earns delayed retirement credits by letting his or her retirement benefits grow. The kind of earnings you and your spouse had during your working life will determine if waiting to get more of a benefit makes sense for you and you should be aware that both spouses can’t claim the spousal benefit at the same time.
The Motley Fool observes that spousal benefits can be complicated but observes that overall: “Being married opens up a wealth of Social Security strategies that can help you take advantage of claiming options that single retirees don’t have.”
However, you need to be in a position to know about these benefits and choose the option that will work best for you. This is where a Fee-Only financial advisor comes in: working with a financial planner before you reach retirement age can help you manage your resources so you do not feel an urgency to claim your Social Security benefits and can wait if you and your planner decide that this will be to your advantage.

A motorist from Bristol has been banned for three years after he was caught speeding on the same stretch of motorway SIX times in a week.
Mohammed Hussain, 31, was also fined nearly £5,000 for the repeat offences in his BMW on a 50mph stretch of roadworks on the M5 near Stroud, Gloucestershire.
He was clocked going as fast as 69mph on December 11, 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18 last year - and then caught speeding in the centre of Gloucester a month later.
His car was registered to a woman in Cheshire who had notified police she no longer owned it and it had been written off after a crash.
He failed to attend court in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire where magistrates fined him £660 for each of the seven offences - a total of £4,620 - with £170 costs.
Congratulations to British Council IELTS Prize 2015 Philippine winners, Yakov Jonathan Lerer, Marie CDDYQA Jaya Rogel and Ewygene Templonuevo, who were each awarded a Php140,000 prize for further study in the UK.
The British Council also awarded five students in the East Asia region with an amount of £12,000 each, who will be entering their dream universities overseas to pursue further education. All of the regional prize winners will be pursuing further study in the UK.
"As a highly respected and widely recognised assessment of English proficiency, the IELTS opens doors to many academic opportunities worldwide. My IELTS test results was an integral part of my application to Durham University, a top-tier research university in the UK, where I will study sustainability, culture and development anthropology. I am honoured to be a recipient of the IELTS Prize, and I am extremely grateful to have the support of the British Council as I further my education overseas."
"Winning this year’s IELTS Prize is a great help to fulfill my dreams of studying abroad and of becoming a translator. My chosen field of study and career path needs exposure to foreign cultures and an immersion abroad which I can now accomplish. I hope that this yearly prize continues to help students fulfill their dreams and thereby contribute to the betterment of our society and our nation."
"I am so excited to have the opportunity to study in London! The British Council has been such a great help in this journey – from the earliest days of figuring out the application process to applying for the IELTS test and now facilitating the IELTS Prize. I am deeply grateful to the British Council for the award and for the warmth which they have consistently given."
Amiable Irish comedian David O'Doherty waved shyly to the queue of people waiting to see his show when he arrived on his bicycle before storming a show in front of that same sell-out crowd.
The whole monologue is held together by his search for the secret to happiness, although he does digress quite a bit on the way. He tries out various things, including a pizza wheel, faster Internet, a trip to Niagara Falls and loft insulation, before concluding that... No, you need to see his show to find that bit out.
The whole show is just him and a toy keyboard, which he says he bought from Ebay, and there is no reason to disbelieve him. He provides musical accompaniment to some sections and also inserts some very funny songs.
At one point, he refers to the "whistles and tinkly bells music" used in adverts for companies that are trying to convince us that they are little friendly organisations, not huge faceless corporations, and does a brilliant parody on his keyboard.
It's a cleverly constructed routine disguised as a rambling rant on various topics set to music, and is very funny.

The EAEPC, however, asked the Commission to reassess the 1999 complaint, which the Commission refused for lack of sufficient EU interest (in essence because the conduct had ceased and there were no persisting effects). The EAEPC challenged the Commission’s refusal in the GC. The recent GC judgment confirmed that as GSK had withdrawn its initial request for negative clearance and individual exemption under Article 101(3) TFEU, the Commission was not required to rule on the request for exemption. In addition, the Commission could decide to take no further action on the complaint because of an insufficient EU interest. The Commission thus was not required to make a final decision as to the existence (or non-existence) of the infringement alleged in EAEPC’s complaint. The GC also emphasized that national authorities are as well placed as the Commission to review this type of conduct. Moreover, according to the GC there was no evidence that other dual-pricing strategies implemented by pharmaceutical companies in Spain were linked, or could be attributed, to GSK’s conduct.
In the pharmaceutical sector in particular, parallel trade is incentivized because pricing regulations are not harmonized at the EU level but remain the prerogative of Member States. Parallel trade of medicinal products from “low” price countries into “high” price countries is thus driven by different national regulations as opposed to free competition in the internal market.
Parallel imports and exports of medicinal products are protected under free movement of goods rules (set out in Article 34 TFEU).
Article 81 of Directive 2001/83 on the community code relating to medicinal products for human use (as amended by Directive 2004/27) obliges manufacturers and wholesalers to ensure “appropriate and continued supplies” of medicinal products to the domestic market, which sets limits to parallel trade.
Under Articles 101 and 102 TFEU, although a manufacturer is in principle free to adopt its own supply policy, the implementation of that policy must be in compliance with competition law.
Although the GSK case mainly relates to the Commission’s discretion to further investigate a complaint and does not provide clarity as to the application of Article 101(3) TFEU to dual-pricing systems, it nevertheless explains that such systems may restrict competition “by object” in violation of Article 101(1) TFEU. However, not all dual-pricing strategies are problematic under competition law. The Spanish Competition Authority confirmed last year that a dual-pricing scheme implemented by another pharmaceutical company in Spain was in line with competition rules. It also closed an investigation last month that related to alleged collusion among several pharmaceutical companies to introduce a dual-pricing scheme. In addition, the Spanish Supreme Court recently rejected an appeal request by the EAEPC against a lower court ruling dismissing its allegation that another pharmaceutical company’s dual-supply system breached competition law.
Another area of concern relating to potential restrictions of parallel trade is where manufacturers set up so-called “stock allocation” schemes to manage supply. Risks may arise under Article 101(1) TFEU if, under such a scheme, the manufacturer (unilaterally) limits supply to (exporting) wholesalers who acquiesce in the scheme. If such mechanisms are imposed by companies in a dominant position, they may be in violation of Article 102 TFEU. The Greek Competition Authority, for example, fined a pharmaceutical company for having abused its dominant position by refusing to supply certain medicinal products in order to restrict parallel exports. However, the authority added that companies can restrict supplies where orders are “out of the ordinary” and go beyond what is needed on the domestic market.
For a number of years, very few new parallel trade cases were brought before the Commission and national competition authorities, but the calm was only temporary. The GSK saga in Spain may have come to an end (unless the EAEPC decides to appeal), but various other cases, including in sectors other than the pharmaceutical sector, are still ongoing. The Commission, for example, is investigating a beer company for allegedly abusing its dominant position by preventing its wholesalers from importing from lower-price countries. As a result, parallel trade restrictions will certainly remain under close scrutiny at both an EU and a national level.

Alvin (Special Needs)(Bonded with Bullet)Pet of The Month
August 4, 2020 Sarah Whipper
Number: c21045
Alvin (Special Needs)(Bonded with Bullet)Pet of The Month's Stats
Preferred Human Interaction: I am really shy
Apply to Adopt Alvin (Special Needs)(Bonded with Bullet)Pet of The Month
About Alvin (Special Needs)(Bonded with Bullet)Pet of The Month
All About Me and My Unique Personality: Hi. I'm Alvin! I have had a really bad start to life and I am quite shy around humans About couple of years ago I broke my femur bone in half and cracked my pelvis. Unfortunately in the situation I was in, there was no medical attention for my injuries. Due to this injury, my right leg is now half the length of my other leg, so I stay crouched down when I walk. The break in the femur has fused itself to the top of the bone in an awkward position. Hunter Animal Rescue and the vets have assessed my injuries and because I'm walking around fine and I am in no pain at this time with the injury the best solution is to leave my leg and pelvis as is.
Because of my bad start to life I haven't had much positive contact with human. I'm slowly learning what love is with the help of my carers and my cat friend Bullet.
Please have a look at my friend's Profile as well, as I would really like to be adopted with him his name is bullet.
https://www.hunteranimalrescue.com.au/adopt/bullet/
My Ideal Home: I would love to continue my journey of find out what love is with bullet and a family who can provide lots of love and attention. Bullet has been a big part of my recovery process and have formed a bond with him. My adoptee would need to be patient and have experience with shy and untrusting cat.
What is Known About My Background: I came to the RSPCA with Bullet from a forced surrender situation where there were lots of cats.
How Do I Interact with Kids, Dogs, Cats and Other Pets: I am really quite shy so would probably be best in a household with no children or older kids that will wait for me to come to them.

What A Dish!: Lemon White Chocolate Cookies
A few years ago, I made an Orange White Chocolate cookie, and I really enjoyed that. Lately, I've been thinking about trying a Lemon White Chocolate version, and I took the oppurtunity to try that combo a few days ago. I love it, possibly even more than the orange white chocolate cookie. The delicate flavors blended so well together. To some of the batch, I added chopped macadamia nuts. These were really good, too. I'll include the nuts in the recipe as an option. I used Trader Joe's natural lemon extract. For the white chocolate, I used Milka brand, which is widely available in Europe. I used a random amount of 7 oz; use whatever you think is good. Adding lemon zest to this recipe would make it even better!
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and lemon extract. Stir the flour, baking soda, and salt together; gradually mix into the creamed mixture. Stir in the white chocolate and nuts. Using a medium cookie scoop, drop balls of dough onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes in the preheated oven. Cool on the baking sheet for about 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Sounds yummy! Love that pic with the white chocolate. Yummm.

Michelle, how fun to find your blog and find out what a fabulous cook/baker you are! My tummy is growling after browsing threw your recipes. They look fanastic!
I'm glad you tried that cookie with lemon--I would not have thought of that, but what a great taste combo!

Well, I haven't made the cookies yet, but I must tell you; I fixed your Lemon-Paprika Chicken Tenders with Parsley Mayo and the Lemon-Garlic Potatoes (Jan 13th post) and everything was absolutely delicious!!
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipes. Like Bethany, I've only recently discovered your blog, but what a treat! Pretty much everything I see makes me drool : - p

Over the past seven years, the WPWMA has conducted community meetings to engage residents in a dialogue regarding the WPWMA's operations and regional odor conditions. This year's meeting will include an overview of the WPWMA's Waste Action Plan to address western Placer County's waste management needs into the future.

If anyone is to contemplate taking your essay seriously,they would need to know your qualifications. We don't need to know who you are, although that would be helpful, but we do need to know that you have the expertise to try to influence our thinking.
So, if you don't mind, how about divulging your qualifications?
Once we know that you have the appropriate basis from which to draw conclusions, we can discuss the many misrepresentations and fallacies you offer in the current essay.

Legitimacy of the Low Fee Payday Loans
Payday loans are only available from non-bank direct lenders in the US. Some lenders, especially those with no online presence, could be illegitimate and it is very risky to be dealing with them. As much as money lenders make it a point to check the credibility of a person applying for a loan, it is equally important that the applicant checks if they are applying from a lender with good history.
When it comes to online lenders their licenses are instant proofs that they are authentic lenders who have been validated by the government. However, there are some easy ways to know how your payday loan lender is actually trustworthy. One of the tell-tale sign of an illegitimate lender is an offer for a "no interest payday loan". Whether they offer this as a one-time offer, a first time offer or a special scheme, a loan borrower must understand that a payday loan is a high risk loan which essentially makes the APR higher than some other loan product. If an offer then seems to be too good to be true, it's likely to be exactly that. We at PaydayLoanTeller strongly recommend staying away from direct lenders making any such offer. The safer option is to go with a reputed online lender like us, who is able to offer a competitive interest rate/fee on genuine payday loans.

Lucky Generals founding partner Andy Nairn called pretesting a throwback to "an age where marketers believed that consumers were rational beings making very conscious choices and where persuasion was the dominant communications model".
Measuring explicit responses was no use for campaigns that relied on an emotional response, according to Darren Bentley, marketing director at Moneysupermarket.com, because "people in general aren’t great at talking about how they feel".
Pretesting was a "cop-out, the last refuge of the nervous and risk-averse advertiser", Julian Douglas, vice-chairman at VCCP, argued. He added that using the same approach over many years led to formulaic solutions.
However, Jane Bloomfield, head of sales and marketing at Kantar Millward Brown, home of the Link test, defended the practice. She said pretesting should be part of a multi-faceted creative development process.
Bloomfield said: "There are a whole range of tools and techniques available to advertisers. Research is sometimes an afterthought – it can come quite late in the process. If you start earlier and include the agency and brief them incredibly well, that’s going to guide how you design a creative development programme."
While warning against "killing creativity" by over-testing a campaign, Pete Markey, marketing director at TSB, conceded that pretesting was "still valuable but needed to evolve". He added: "A combination of insight approaches helps to build a better and stronger picture."
Too much reliance on pretesting also threatens to undersell the strengths of an idea, Mark Evans, marketing director at Direct Line Group, argued. Direct Line’s campaign featuring Pulp Fiction character Winston Wolfe had tested quite well but the risky humour of the ads meant instinct was also required.
Evans said: "Testing was important in order to align the whole organisation, but we also needed a dollop of bravery to drive through the notion of having a gangster as our spokesperson in one of the lowest-trust sectors in the economy."
The prevalence of testing is a symptom of the falling value of advertising to marketers and an "ass-covering measure" for junior marketers increasingly tasked with making decisions, Fold7 strategy partner Yelena Gaufman suggested.
Brands should instead focus on the strategy underpinning it, Gaufman said: "If you know the thinking behind it is sound, the creative work can be a much more human, instinctive thing."
Nationwide chief marketing officer Sara Bennison pointed out that brands had a responsibility to create an environment where it was unnecessary to prove "something will work in theory before it has a chance to in the real world".
Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO group chaiman and group chief executive, Cilla Snowball, added: "The age old conundrum is that whilst we all know emotional advertising is more effective in ROI terms, by definition it's very hard to test, which means clients and agencies have to take huge leaps of faith and trust their creative judgement.
"Quantitative research justifies the decision to proceed with the cost of producing and running campaigns. As always the solution lies in brave teams truly understanding their consumers, reading the data sensitively and resolutely backing EQ over IQ."

US 7252132 B2Abstract
A window covering has a headrail, a plurality of lift cords extending from the headrail and a plurality of shade elements positioned sequentially below the headrail. Each shade element has two longitudinal edges which are substantially parallel to one another. A flap made of mesh fabric, a non-woven fabric or a film through which light may pass is attached to one or both longitudinal edges of the shade elements. The shade elements are positioned so that when the shade elements are in a closed position the lower edge of one shade element abuts the upper edge of an adjacent shade element and when the shade elements are in an open position, the lower edge of the at least one shade element is spaced apart from the upper edge of an adjacent shade element. The flap may or may not fully cover the gap between adjacent shade elements. A first cord is attached to one longitudinal edge of each shade element and a second cord is attached to the other longitudinal edge of each shade element. These cords extend to or into the headrail and allow the longitudinal edges of adjacent shade elements to be moved away from one another to create a gap between adjacent shade elements through which light may pass.

This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/378,829, filed Mar. 5, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,854,504 and published on Jun. 3, 2004, as US 2004/0103994 A1 and U.S. patent application Ser. No. 10/460,478, filed Jun. 13, 2003, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,195,050 and published on Nov. 11, 2004, as US 2004/0221969 A1.
The invention relates to window coverings of the type having a plurality of spaced apart segments or shade elements, as in a venetian blind.
Various vertical window blinds including venetian blinds, roller shades, roman shades, and the like are known. These window blinds commonly comprise a headrail, a bottom rail and a window covering material extending between them. Lift cords extend from the bottom rail into the headrail for raising and lowering the blind. The window covering material may be pleated or cellular material, woven woods or grasses or roman shade material that is raised and lowered or slats on ladders that can be raised and lowered as well as tilted for light control.
A venetian blind provides the widest range of light control. The slats can be raised to a fully open position, lowered to cover the entire window and tilted vertically to a fully closed position or lowered to a fully lowered or partially lowered position with the slats tilted at a selected orientation between vertical and horizontal. Roman, pleated and cellular shades have a softer appearance than venetian blinds. However, a conventional roman shade and other fabric shades can only be raised and lowered to cover all or a portion of the window. When a roman shade is in a fully lowered or partially lowered position, it cannot be controlled or adjusted to change the amount of light transmittance as occurs when one tilts the slats in a fully lowered or partially lowered venetian blind.
Although the slats in most venetian blinds are wood, aluminum or plastic, it is known to make fabric slats. One example of a fabric slat is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,829,506 to Zorbas. Like wood, aluminum and plastic slats fabric slats are hung on ladders or attached to ladder rungs and may have transverse stiffeners. Venetian blinds having fabric slats operate in the same manner as venetian blinds having wood, aluminum or plastic slats.
U.S. Pat. No. 6,105,657 to Zorbas discloses a fabric blind slat and a fabric venetian blind assembly. The fabric blind slat includes an elongated strip of fabric. The strip of fabric has at least one longitudinally extending pocket on a longitudinal edge into which a relatively rigid support member is insertable. This design of fabric blind slat has drawbacks. Tilting the fabric blind slat moves the fabric body of the fabric blind slat in a manner that causes the upper part of the fabric blind slat to compress the lower part of the fabric blind slat, resulting in a wrinkle. In other words, supporting or stretching means must be provided so that the fabric body of the fabric blind slat can be maintained smooth under any operation status.
Another type of venetian blind has a fabric sheet or fringe attached to one edge of each slat. This sheet or fringe extends to or below the adjacent slat. An example of this type of blind is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 3,388,490 to Kandel. In these blinds, the slats are supported on conventional ladders having parallel rails connected by a series of rungs of which the slats rest.
We provide a window covering having a headrail, two or more lift cords extending from the headrail and several operable shade elements or segments positioned sequentially below the headrail. Each shade element has at least one flap attached to one longitudinal edge of the shade element. The flap preferably is a mesh fabric, but may be a film or non-woven fabric through which light may pass. The shade elements are positioned so that when the shade elements are in a closed position the lower edge of at least one shade element abuts or is adjacent to the upper edge of an adjacent shade element. When the shade elements are in an open position, the lower edge of the at least one shade element is spaced apart from the adjacent shade element and a mesh fabric flap may cover the space between adjacent shade elements. Movement of the shade elements is controlled by a first cord or cords attached to one longitudinal edge of each shade element and extending into the headrail and a second cord or cords attached to the other longitudinal edge of each shade element. In one embodiment releasing the second cord raises the longitudinal edge of each shade segment creating a gap between shade segments. In another embodiment moving the first cord causes the other longitudinal edge of each shade element to fall creating a gap between shade segments. Another alternative is to connect both cords to a drum or shaft which when rotated will move the edges of each shade segment together to create the gap. The shade elements may be slats of the type used in venetian blinds or portions of a roman shade.
Other objects and advantages of the present method will become apparent from a description of the present preferred embodiments thereof as illustrated in the drawings.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 5 a first present preferred window covering 10 is comprised of a headrail 12, a bottomrail 14, sets 16 of rails 17, 18, a plurality of shade elements in the form of flexible slats 22, a plurality of flexible light screening flaps 26, two lift cords 32, and a control unit 34. The headrail 12 is a hollow frame bar transversely (horizontally) affixed to the top side of a window (not shown). The bottomrail 14 is a hollow frame bar arranged parallel to and suspended from the headrail 12.
Each set 16 is comprised of a front rail 17 and a rear rail 18. The rails 17 and 18 each have a top end respectively inserted into the headrail 12 and a bottom end fixedly connected to the bottomrail 14. According to this embodiment, the rails 17 and 18 are symmetrically provided at two sides. Depending upon the transverse width of the window, the combination window covering can be equipped with more sets of rails. The rails could be offset from one another.
The slats 22 are narrow, elongated, rectangular members made of fabric of low penetrability to light, and arranged in parallel between the headrail 12 and the bottomrail 14 within the space defined between the front rails 17 and the rear rails 18. Each slat 22 has two sleeves or pockets 23 respectively extended along the respective two opposite long sides. Two plastic or metal ribs 24 are respectively inserted into the sleeves 23 and respectively connected to the front rails 17 and the rear rails 18. The slats 22 have two holes 25 for the passing of the lift cords 32. The ribs 24 support the flexible slat 22 to maintain its shape. The sleeves or pockets 23 have slots so that the respective loops of the rails 17 and 18 can encircle the ribs 24.
The flexible light screening flaps 26 of the slat units are rectangular pieces of meshed fabric or film equal to the length and number of the flexible slats 22, and have a permeability to light relatively higher than the light permeability of the slats 22. The flap preferably is a mesh fabric, but may be a film or non-woven fabric through which light may pass. Each flap has one long side or longitudinal edge stitched to one long side or longitudinal edge of one flexible slat 22. The other long side, or longitudinal edge, of each flap is provided with a sleeve or pocket 27 and a rib 28 in the sleeve 27. That longitudinal edge is free to move. As illustrated in FIG. 3, the flexible light screening flaps 26 are respectively vertically suspended from the slats 22. The width D1 of the flexible light screening flaps 26 preferably is slightly greater than the distance or pitch D2 between two adjacent slats 22, when those slats are in a horizontal position. Therefore, when the flexible light screening flaps 26 are suspended from the slats 22, the bottom side edges of each flexible light screening flap 26 is lower than the elevation of the front longitudinal edge of the respective slat 22 below, i.e., the bottom side edge of each flexible light screening flap 26 covers the front edge of the next slat 22. In this way, the flexible light screening flaps 26 form a light screening face 29 on one side of the combination window covering 10, as shown in FIG. 2. Flexible light screening flaps may be respectively fastened to the other longitudinal edge of each of the flexible slats. Then there would be a light screening face on both sides of the combination window covering.
The control unit 34 comprises a lift cord mechanism operated by cords 35 and a tilt control mechanism operated by cord loop 36. The lift control mechanism is to be operated by the user to lift or lower the bottomrail 14, so as to further stack or extend the slats 22. The tilt mechanism is adapted to control relative movement of the front ladder rails 17 and the rear ladder rails 18 vertically in opposite directions, so as to tilt the slats 22. The control unit 34 is of the known art and can comprise two rod members (not shown) fastened rotatably with the inside of the headrail 12, a pair of reels (not shown) respectively mounted on one rod member, a barrel for each pair of rails mounted on the second rod member, a lift-control operation cord set 35 and a tilt-control operation chain 36 respectively coupled to the rod members for operation by the user to rotate the rod members respectively. The top ends of the lift cords 32 are respectively fastened to the two reels on the second rod member. The front rails 17 and rear rails 18 of the sets 16 are respectively coupled to opposite sides of the barrels on the first rod member. Because the control unit is of the known art, no further detailed description in this regard is necessary.
When this combination window covering 10 is assembled, the slats 22 may block the light or the sight between the outside of the room and the inside of the room. By means of operating the tilt control cords 36 of the control unit 34 to move the front rails 17 and the rear rails 18 in opposite directions, the slats 22 are tilted to regulate the light, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4.
The flexible light screening flaps 26 are vertically suspended from the slats 22 at the front side. The ribs 28 of the flexible light screening flaps 26 support the front long side of each flexible flap 26 to stabilize and smoothen the suspension of those flaps forming the aforesaid light screening face 29. The light screening face 29 screens and softens the light, producing a soft and pleasant atmosphere in the room.
When operating the lift control cords 35 of the control unit 34 to roll up the lift cords 32, the bottomrail 14 is lifted, and the slats 22 are stacked onto one another from the bottom side toward the top side to the fully raised position shown in FIG. 5. When the slats 22 are stacked together, the flexible light screening flaps 26 are overlapped on one another in order as shown in this figure.
In comparison with other conventional products having similar functions, the window covering material 10 shown in FIGS. 1 through 5 has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture. Further, it is practical to have the slats and the light screening flaps made of the same fabric material, i.e., each light screening flap and the corresponding slat can be formed of one single piece of fabric sewn to form a flexible slat and an integrated light screening flap light. The portion of the single piece of fabric forming the slat may be coated with a layer of film or color paint.
As indicated above, the slats, as well as the light screening flaps are preferably made of fabric instead of conventional plastic or wooden material. Therefore, the combination window covering softens the light, producing a pleasant atmosphere in the house.
FIGS. 6 and 7 show a second embodiment 40 that is similar to the window blind 10 shown in FIGS. 1 through 5 with the exception of the arrangement of flexible light screening flaps. According to this embodiment, flexible light screening flaps 44 of the slat units are respectively provided at the front and rear longitudinal edges of the flexible slats 42 of the slat units, forming a respective light screening face 45 at the front and rear sides of the flexible slats 42.
In the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 through 7, the light screening flaps typically will be sewn into the fabric slats before the slats are connected to the rails. However, one could connect the light screening flaps to the fabric slats after the slats have been connected to the rails. In that event, the flaps may be attached to the slats with Velcro hook and loop fasteners or adhesive tape rather than being sewn into the fabric slats.
Although all of the window blinds shown in the drawings have fabric slats, the present method could be used with plastic, plastic film, metal, metal foil or wood slats that have pockets with slots along their longitudinal edges. Similarly, the light screening flaps could be a film rather than a fabric. The rails could be plastic, metal or wood rather than braided cord, particularly if plastic, metal or wood slats are used. Such a window covering would be more like a shutter than a venetian blind.
In a third present preferred embodiment the shade elements to which the light screening flaps are attached are roman shade segments rather than venetian blind slats. Referring to FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 a third present preferred window covering 50 is comprised of a headrail 52 and a plurality of flexible shade elements 54 positioned sequentially below the haedrail, A first set of cords 56 extends from the headrail and is attached to a first longitudinal edge of the shade elements 54. A second set of cords 57 passes through cord lock 71 in the headrail and is attached to a second longitudinal edge of the shade elements 54. A flexible light screening flap 55 is attached to each shade element 54. The first longitudinal edge of the flap 55 is attached to the second longitudinal edge of the shade element 54 while the opposite longitudinal edge of each flap is free to move. Rods 61 and 62 are attached to both longitudinal edges of each shade element 54. A third rod 63 is provided on the free edge of each flap 55. The first cords 56 are attached at their upper ends to the headrail in a manner so that the ends of the cords are fixed relative to the headrail. We also provide a set of lift cords 64 that are substantially parallel to cords 56 and 57. The lift cords 64 pass through cord lock 73 and exit the headrail. By releasing the second cords 57 the second longitudinal edge of each shade element 54 can be lowered from the position shown in FIG. 10 to the position shown in FIG. 9 and then continue to be lowered to the position of the shade segments 54 shown in FIG. 8. In the position of FIG. 8 there are spaces between adjacent shade elements through which light may freely pass and the flaps 55 are obscured by the shade elements. This could be considered to be a fully lowered, fully open position. When the shade elements 54 are positioned as in FIG. 9, there are spaces between adjacent shade elements, but those spaces are covered by the flaps 55. Because the shade flaps are made of a mesh material light can pass through the flaps. The window covering in this position provides more privacy than the fully open position of FIG. 8 while allowing light to pass through the window covering. With the shade segments 54 elements positioned as in FIG. 10 one longitudinal edge of each shade element is adjacent a longitudinal edge of an adjacent shade element. Consequently, the shade elements fully cover a window over which the window covering is placed, providing complete privacy. If desired, a valance (not shown) could be provided on the headrail.
Although we have shown and described certain preferred embodiments of our window coverings it is to be distinctly understood that the invention is not limited thereto, but may be variously embodied within the scope of the following claims.

The door is locked. The curtains are drawn.

How religion is reshaping America
It's common wisdom that politics and religion should never be discussed in mixed company. In their new book, Robert Putnam, author of <i>Bowling Alone</i>, and David Campbell take on both of these volatile subjects, forcing a head-on conversation. The book examines the changes in religious life in America over the past fifty years – the […]

Web2.0 Tools: Trailfire - redclif
Web2.0 Tools: Trailfire
A second session with Mrs. Mathis's class focused on the use of Trailfire. We discussed Web searches, creating bookmarks and reviewed the characteristics of Web2.0 tools. A discussion of trails and marks followed, as Trailfire was demonstrated and experienced.
"Trailfire is an easy way to organize and share things you find on the web. Mark a page that interests you by clicking a button in the toolbar then mark another page by clicking the same button again. Trailfire stitches them together to form a "trail" of marked pages. Leaving comments in the "marks" adds your ideas to each page along the trail. Without doing anything else we put your trails on our discovery site and make them searchable from Google. If you'd rather keep them private you can do that too."
The preservice teachers were assigned an Internet Scavenger Hunt, as a part of a curriculum Unit. They began to mesh together the new found tool and blaze a trail. Yahoo! In just a short time, emails arrived and the preservice teachers requested feedback on their new adventure.

When you think about improving your heart health, food and exercise may come to mind. Sleep is just as crucial – even though many people treat it like a luxury, not a necessity.
“Just like we talk about eating a low-fat diet to minimize your cholesterol and maintain your heart health, maintaining your sleep health is important for your overall well-being,” says Susheel Patil, MD, PhD, director of the Sleep Medicine Program for University Hospitals.
And yet, many people view sleep as a luxury, not a necessity. “Most Americans are probably sleep-deprived to some extent,” Patil says. According to the CDC, 1 in 3 U.S. adults gets less than the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep a night. Over time, that could put them at higher risk for conditions that may impact the heart, including obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.
Getting good-quality sleep on a regular basis lets your body get the restorative break it needs. Without it, you’re more likely to develop health problems. And that, in turn, can affect your heart.
People who get less than 6 hours of sleep a night are more likely to gain weight, develop diabetes, and be diagnosed with heart disease than those who get 7-8 hours of sleep, Patil says. And, he says, there’s evidence that sleep-deprived people tend not to live as long as their well-rested peers.
Also, people with sleep apnea are more likely to develop heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure. Chronic insomnia also raises your risk of developing heart disease over time.
The Sleep-Heart Health Link
The overlap between heart health and sleep disorders is so strong that some cardiac centers have sleep specialists on staff. That’s the case with Baptist Health’s Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute in Florida, where Harneet Walia, MD, serves as director of sleep medicine and continuous improvement. Walia says she regularly educates her patients on the connection between sleep, heart health, and overall health.
Often, she says, people don’t realize how serious sleep issues can be for the heart. “It’s like high cholesterol. You sometimes don’t know it’s causing bad stuff to you until you treat it,” Walia says. “Many times, people are symptomatic with sleepiness, fatigue and difficulty sleeping, and sometimes people are not. But it’s having consequences in your body, and you may not be realizing it.”
Seeing the impact of sleep on heart health is why Walia specialized in sleep medicine. Early in her career, a patient in the practice where she worked had what’s called “resistant hypertension.” Despite being on four blood pressure medications, his blood pressure was still out of control. The health care team recommended that he do a sleep study, which pinpointed a crucial problem: sleep apnea. After he started on continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) therapy to address his sleep apnea, his blood pressure quickly improved. So did his mood and quality of life.
That inspired Walia to earn her fellowship in sleep medicine. “There are over 80 sleep disorders that exist affecting about 70 million Americans, and they have intersections with lots of organ systems, particularly the cardiovascular system,” she says. For those people, improving sleep could improve heart health.
Fall Asleep as Easy as 1, 2, ZZZ
You probably know the basics of getting good sleep. It will help your heart – and the rest of your body – to do these things.
Stick with a consistent bedtime and wake-up time, even on weekends. Your body and brain will get used to the routine and sleep should come more easily. Patil says this is “probably the most important thing anybody can do to start to lay the foundation for better sleep.”
Don’t be productive in your bedroom. Patil says your bedroom should be devoted to rest and relaxation, sheltered from busy-ness. As he puts it, “you really want to make the bedroom a bit of an oasis.”
Set a curfew for screens. Walia says you should avoid using electronics 30 minutes before bed to help you relax. She also recommends trying not to nap during the day. If you must nap, do so earlier in the day and not for longer than 20 minutes.
If you do all of that and you still feel tired and cranky, or you’re worried about your sleep, talk to your doctor.
Sleep may feel decadent, especially if you feel expected to be “always on.” But for a healthy and productive life, it’s a must-have, on par with eating well and working out. Patil puts it this way: “The more you can practice healthy sleep habits throughout your life, the less you’re likely to develop these types of sleep disorders, and you’re going to maintain your overall health over the longer term.”

Attack the position, not the person. Don't question motives. Let the facts speak for themselves (but make sure the facts are correct). Don't raise a charge without proof. Under no circumstances call anyone a Nazi.
Just about every state has an employee suggestion program, and in many cases, employees get financially rewarded if their suggestion is implemented and saves the state money.
In West Virginia and Washington state, workers can get up to $10,000 for an implemented idea. In Alabama, which recently reignited its program after eliminating it in 2007 due to the economic downturn, employees can get $1,000 for an implemented suggestion or up to $5,000 when a suggestion results in extraordinary savings. In North Carolina, employees can get either money for a suggestion that results in savings or increased revenue, or up to 24 hours of extra paid time-off for quality improvements.
California, which has one of the more generous programs, started theirs in 1950 when such programs were becoming increasingly popular around the country. The California public employee union backed legislation to get the state one of its own, and today, government workers can offer their ideas for increasing revenue, improving state operations and eliminating safety hazards.
I spoke with Kari Ehrman, the merit award program manager, to find out more about the program and how much it's saved the state. Her responses have been edited for clarity and length.
The main goal is to show employees that management is listening. A lot of suggestions are from people on the front lines who say they talk to their supervisors but feel like they aren't being heard. With this program, the suggestion is logged, and it has to be evaluated. So it's a way for these voices to be heard. The monetary reward is icing on the cake.
It really hit its heyday in the 1970s. In 1971, 2,283 ideas were submitted, and of those, 21 percent were implemented. From when the program first started through 1975, the state was getting 2,000 to 4,000 suggestions per year. But so far this year, we've received 471, and out of that, 11 were adopted. Basically, we get around 400 to 600 each year now, and of those, we implement 2 percent to 3 percent.
The main reason was because it received top management support. The governor signed all of the certificates, and when the awards were given, each person took a photo with the governor. It was given a lot of attention and publicity. Department directors would send letters to staff encouraging them to submit their ideas. Then in the '80s and '90s, it became old hat and floundered a bit. The program used to be centralized and run by the Department of Personnel Administration [the precursor to CalHR]. Now, we've opened it up and told each department to run their own program and then report back to us. It's a complicated process now, and ideas can take a long time to implement.
I did a webinar that gives a basic overview on how to submit an idea. Some departments have a webpage where employees can check the progress of their suggestions. Other departments have merit award administrators who don't have the time to promote the program or learn the best way to run it. In the past, I published sample suggestions online because employees told me they weren't sure what kind of ideas were being submitted.
A Department of Transportation employee suggested replacing incandescent lighting with LEDs in the red light traffic signal heads as LED's consume less power, last longer and are as bright as incandescent illuminations. The Department of Transportation implemented this idea statewide and realized a first-year savings of over $4 million.
Some other implemented ideas have included eliminating paper forms or storing contracts and other paperwork electronically. In 2011, the Department of Fish and Game changed utility rate schedules, and the suggestor received $4,926. Other improved procedures, which resulted in a minimal monetary award, have included creating a link to help veterans find employment office locations.
When an employee suggestion comes in, it goes to the appropriate department's merit award administrator. That person tries to find an expert who can evaluate the suggestion and determine if it's doable. If the suggestion affects multiple departments, it goes to CalHR and then we send it to the different departments. Every state department is unique, and what doesn't work for one might work for another. For example, we had a suggestion that corrections decided not to adopt but the hospitals did.
Most suggestions are from individuals. When I talk to the suggestors, they say, "I was doing the same thing over and over and I thought there had to be a better way."
It seems to me that suggestions come most often from new people who left the private sector or people coming from one department and going to another, saying "there's a better way to do it; we did it a different way in my old department."
If the state adopts an idea and any tangible cost savings are less than $500, which is the most common, the employee receives $50 to $100. If there are significant savings, say if someone saved their department $81,000, then the employee gets 20 percent of the captured savings. We have to wait for a year to determine what the cost savings will be and then do a cost comparison against the old procedure to determine the total savings. There is a payout cap of $50,000.
Awards are paid out from each department's savings. If a suggestion would be used by multiple departments or would have a cash award of more than $5,000, it has to be approved by the Merit Award Board and the CalHR director before it can be implemented. If there would be a significant monetary award of more than $5,000, we have to seek a legislative bill to pay the balance. The last bill was a concurrent resolution in October 2013. Altogether at that time, the savings were calculated at $189,460 from three separate suggestions.

Though troubling, the recently leaked video of a Springfield, Mass., police officer beating an apparently helpless suspect with a metal flashlight while three other officers looked on highlights a chronic problem in mid- and large-sized cities nationwide: Who polices the police?
Data suggests that actual incidences of overzealous police officers injuring or killing nonthreatening suspects are rare, but they can dominate the news for months. From Rodney King in Los Angeles to Abner Louima in New York City, such incidents sully reputations, tarnish whole departments and damage community relations, while sometimes costing cities millions of dollars in legal fees and restitution.
To reduce excessive use of force incidents, cities have devised various schemes for overseeing police, the most common of which is a citizen oversight board charged with investigating reports of abuse. The battle surrounding these boards has always been over how much authority they have, and whether they have the expertise to do the job. As a rule, police don't like being investigated--or second guessed--by civilians. Meanwhile, community activists tend to not trust the police to conduct thorough internal investigations, particularly in cities where there is significant tension between police departments and ethnic minorities.
In the Springfield incident's immediate wake, Mayor Domenic J. Sarno announced a new "community police hearing board," consisting of a group of citizens he appointed. Some in Springfield wonder if this citizen oversight board will actually have any teeth. They worry that the board will be mere political window dressing rather than an effective mechanism for investigations and discipline.
Getting the balance right--between ensuring rigorous, thorough investigations and protecting the police from overzealous or politically motivated outsiders--has always been the trickiest part of police oversight. But one city seems to have devised a system that balances police rights with citizen concerns--a system that, since its creation in 2001, has proven remarkably successful in significantly reducing excessive use of force incidents.
At Portland, Ore.'s low point in the late 1990s, its police were shooting suspects at a rate of one per month. The bulk of those shootings, says former Portland City Auditor Gary Blackmer, was taking place in the city's heavily African-American community, which was badly damaging city and community relations. "When you had one shooting a month," says Blackmer, who is now with the state auditor's office, "it made it pretty hard to go out there and talk to citizens about cooperating on crime fighting."
At the city council's request, Blackmer hired a consultant to look at use of force incidents and make recommendations for how to reduce them. Besides some fundamental tactical suggestions--Portland police were consistently putting themselves in unnecessarily dangerous situations where they had to shoot their way out--the most fundamental reform suggested was to shut down the city's existing police oversight board, which lacked clout and credibility, and replace it with a professionally run board within the city auditor's office, comprising a smaller, carefully chosen group of highly qualified members.
Since the oversight board overhaul, use of force complaints in Portland have plummeted by more than 60 percent, a number that Blackmer argues represents millions of dollars in savings in legal fees, lost time and lost personnel. It has also led to an incalculable increase in community goodwill.
Symbolic of the new approach, incidences in which citizens reported being verbally abused by police decreased dramatically. "The department's policy was that they used profanity to avoid use of force," says Blackmer. "We said, 'Fine, then we want police officers to write up a report every time they use profanity and explain why.'" Profanity complaints went down 75 percent.
By the same token, the oversight board has come to the police's defense: The board has explained to citizen complainants that handcuffing before arresting a subject is acceptable police procedure. It's also perfectly legal for police to question a subject without reading the Miranda rights as long as the subject hasn't yet been placed under arrest.
Essential to credible, effective oversight is the concept of a professional, experienced intermediary, says Richard Rosenthal, who as an "independent monitor" oversees investigations into use of force incidents by the Denver Police Department. Only those who are experienced in both law and police work should ever investigate allegations of police misconduct, says Rosenthal, who was the original prosecutor in the Los Angeles Police Department's infamous Rampart scandal in the late 1990s. The scandal involved extreme police misconduct that included bank robbery, and the shooting and framing of an unarmed gang member by an officer.
Besides hard data on lowering and keeping the lid on use of force incidents, Rosenthal judges his department by the responses he gets from police and citizens. "I get criticized by the police union, which says I have way too much influence and I'm out to get them; and I get criticized by citizens who say I'm in bed with the cops. That's the fine line we walk."
It's a fine line worth walking, though, notes Blackmer. Far from the days when Portland was seeing one police shooting a month, today that number is down to one per year.

Begun in 1970, Arcosanti is a town of 70 to 100 inhabitants that was envisioned as a future home to thousands.
Arcosanti’s creator architect, Paolo Soleri, gained fame by perfecting a way to cast windbells in the silty sand nearby.
Donations and the sale of Soleri's windbells, which are still made on-site, help support the experimental town.
Arcosanti was envisioned as an alternative to urban sprawl using Soleri’s theory of compact city design.
Buildings are designed and situated to provide shade in the summer and to allow light and warmth in the winter.
A dirt path leads to the perfect spot to view Arcosanti. There has been no major construction in 15 years. Modern building codes are in conflict with 1970’s era ideas.
Rancho Cordova, Calif., has teamed up with Google to get local businesses online and help stimulate economic development.
The city is now a part of Google’s new initiative “Get Your Business Online,” a program where entrepreneurs can learn the basics of how to create a successful online experience. By signing up, small businesses receive a website, custom domain name, Web hosting and access to educational resources. The program is free for the first year, but participants will be charged $5 to $7 monthly afterward.
Rancho Cordova learned about the initiative during the 2013 U.S. Conference of Mayors. Less than two months later, Google sent the city collateral and marketing materials, created a public service announcement and provided a toolkit to help spread the word about the opportunity.
“Anything that we can do to help our small business community grow will be important,” said Rancho Cordova Mayor Linda Budge. “Economic development is our No. 1 priority.”
“The point is to make it quick and easy,” added Ashley Downton, Rancho Cordova’s project manager for the Google initiative. “They have built customizable templates that businesses can use to launch a website.”
Google started its program two years ago in Texas and it has since spread to communities nationwide.
In addition to the materials provided by Google, Rancho Cordova has used its website, an e-newsletter, social media and a local billboard to encourage business owners to increase their online presence. The city also created a survey on its website for business owners to complete once they sign up for Google’s program.
Online representation is a problem for small businesses in the United States. According to a June 2011 survey by Google, only 42 percent of small businesses nationwide have a website. California is worse than the national average, with close to 62 percent of its small businesses lacking an online presence.
“Google’s statistics show that over the next three years, a business that has an effective online presence can expect to grow 40 percent faster,” Budge said. “That means that the business’ income has increased, and it’s hiring people. If it grows, then the amount of goods and services it buys from others grows. And everyone in town benefits. The business wins. We win. What’s not to like about that?”
The initiative also has a gamification element to it. During next year’s U.S. Conference of Mayors, an independent panel of judges will select a winner from a small, medium and large city that participated in this program based on the city’s reach, impact, creativity, commitment and replicability.
Award-winning mayors and their cities will receive a customized plaque, recognition of city leadership, publication in the U.S. Mayor newspaper and a technology prize package valued at $50,000.
Rancho Cordova has plans to continue engaging its local business owners through an annual business walk and networking event at a Chamber of Commerce luncheon.
“We saw that there was a need to support small businesses by getting online, and this program was a fit,” said Downton. “It’s very little investment on the city’s part with very big reward to our small business community.”

DelBene takes 8.2% pay cut | HeraldNet.com - Local news
Published: Wednesday, April 10, 2013, 12:01 a.m. EMAIL ARTICLE | PRINT |
JUMP TO COMMENTS DelBene takes 8.2% pay cut
By Jerry Cornfield, Herald Writer Congresswoman Suzan DelBene is giving herself a pay cut.She figured it's the least and most fair step she could take as across-the-board spending cuts begin taking root in federal agencies.DelBene intends to return 8.2 percent of her earnings to the U.S Treasury, the same percentage of reduction that federal departments and congressional offices must make under the dictates of the process known as sequestration."The across-the-board cuts from sequestration are starting to impact people throughout the country. It's only fair that elected leaders are affected as well," said DelBene, whose 1st Congressional District includes a large swath of east Snohomish County.She might be the only member of Washington's congressional delegation to take this action. In emails and interviews, six said they would not, three didn't respond to requests for comment and two were not reachable.Lawmaker salaries are set in law and excluded from the mandated cuts occurring because Congress did not reach agreement on a federal budget last year.For DelBene, who earns $174,000 a year, an 8.2 percent cut would equal $14,268. She intended to send back $2,378 to cover the months of March and April; the sequester took effect in March. On Tuesday, she also signed onto a bill aimed at making congressional pay subject to the sequester starting in 2015 -- if it is still on the books. Such a law cannot go into effect immediately because the Constitution bars members of Congress from manipulating their own salaries in the middle of a term.DelBene, a former Microsoft executive, is a millionaire who can afford to forgo thousands of dollars in salary.That's not motivating her decision, her spokesman said."Fundamentally this is and will be about fairness," said communications director Viet Shelton. "These across-the-board cuts will affect millions of people across America. It was the appropriate thing to do for elected leaders to take the same cut."DelBene is among a growing number of federal officials giving up income.President Barack Obama announced April 3 he'd return 5 percent of his $400,000 annual salary. Several members of his cabinet as well as the House and Senate declared they would send back a chunk of their monthly paychecks in what The New York Times described as an embrace of the "politics of self-sacrifice."But DelBene is alone among Washington's federal delegation in doing so.Democratic Reps. Jim McDermott and Rick Larsen, the two other representatives whose districts include portions of Snohomish County, and Sens. Patty Murray and Maria Cantwell are not planning to give back any pay.Reps. Derek Kilmer and Denny Heck, both first-term Democrats like DelBene, are not either, though both intend to contribute a portion of their salary to charity, according to their offices.Kilmer will give to a scholarship fund for college-bound students in his district, a practice he undertook as a state senator.Heck and his wife will "examine their specific giving priorities in light of the hardships that continuing high unemployment and the effects of sequestration are having," said the congressman's spokesman, Phil Gardner.Democratic Rep. Adam Smith and Republican Rep. Doc Hastings, who was on a flight to the nation's Capitol, were not reachable for comment on deadline. Republican Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, Dave Reichert and Jaime Herrera Beutler did not respond to requests for comment."I strongly oppose sequestration cuts, and have from the beginning," said McDermott, who voted against last year's deal, which required spending reductions if Congress failed to reach a budget agreement."Well-meaning as it is, returning one's congressional salary won't stop cuts to government employees' salaries or save any of the 700,000 jobs that are currently threatened by these unwise and unnecessary cuts," said McDermott, whose 7th District includes south Snohomish County.Jared Leopold, communications director for Cantwell, said she and Murray are working with other senators "to replace the sequester and end furloughs of federal workers, while making more strategic budget cuts that get our fiscal house in order."Larsen has voted against congressional pay hikes each of the past four years, according to his communications director, Bryan Thomas. Larsen serves in the 2nd District, which includes Island County, Everett and part of Marysville."Congressman Larsen thinks the sequester is bad policy that needs to be replaced with a balanced approach that includes targeted spending cuts, slowing the growth of future spending and raising new revenues," Thomas said.Jerry Cornfield: 360-352-8623; [email protected] you think federal lawmakers giving back part of their salaries will make a difference in the federal budget?

Revealed during GDC, Dankit Island is home to the Virth. A rat-like creature, the Virth have burrowed deep beneath the surface and utilize Dankit Island as a centralized hideout. On the surface, Scavengers sent by the death god Thanatos roam the island in search of sacrificial victims.
As a technologically advanced planet, the inhabitants of Aelion have often employed large industrial factories to produce modern machinery and advanced robotics. However, recent events at one of these factories has resulted in the plant purging “biological” contaminants, while producing deadly mechanoids hell-bent on continuing the purge outside the factory’s walls.
In contrast to the cold steel and loud hum of the Factory, the Lanber Forest is a quiet, scenic locale home to traders and farmers tending to their fields. Or at least it was, until the Mantide arrived and began using their parasitic warriors to enslave the local inhabitants. Now, aided by a traitorous god, the Mantide seek to overrun the forest, all while spineless opportunists seek to cash in on the misfortune of others.

House rep ends effort to compel Amazon to collect sales taxes
Created 05/18/2011 - 3:44pm
Defusing one of the hottest controversies in the legislature, a state House leader announced Wednesday he is dropping his attempt this session to compel Amazon to collect sales taxes from Tennessee customers.
House Finance Committee Chairman Charles Sargent urged Amazon "to do the right thing" by voluntarily charging and collecting the tax. If the Internet retail giant refuses, he said he will bring back his legislation in 2012's session.
"Exempting Amazon from our sales tax is unfair to our existing businesses, who are then at a disadvantage, and it's unfair to the citizens of our state," said Sargent, R-Franklin.
Under U.S. Supreme Court rulings, a state cannot force out-of-state retailers to charge sales taxes unless those companies have a physical presence in that state.
Sargent's bill would establish that Amazon's warehouses will constitute sufficient physical presence to compel the company to charge and collect sales taxes on merchandise sold to Tennessee customers.
Amazon argues its warehouses, which process orders and ship merchandise, are separate from the company's retail business. The company maintains the Bredesen administration, in its last days, agreed not to force Amazon to charge the sales tax in return for locating the warehouses in Tennessee. But the agreement apparently was informal and no documentation has been produced. In remarks to the Senate Finance Budget Subcommittee, Sargent referred to the agreement as "the alleged deal."
By next year, he said, he hopes "Amazon might be doing the right thing and collecting and filing the tax. I believe they should and hope they are. If not, we will address that next session. In the meantime, Amazon, you have the opportunity to show you are ready to do the right thing."
"Tennessee is a great place," he added. "We want to welcome you here but we need you to understand that the Volunteer State will treat everyone fairly."
House Republican leader Gerald McCormick, who represents Chattanooga, disagreed with Sargent. McCormick said it's important for economic growth for Tennessee to follow through on agreements with businesses.
"We absolutely must keep our word and go through on the commitments we have made when we bring companies in here and they build facilities and hire Tennesseans," McCormick said. "If we don't do that, it will affect future economic development projects. Other states will be gleefully pointing out that we don't keep our word. I hope we spend our time creating jobs instead of discouraging business and investment in Tennessee.
"Certainly, we will be ready next year to fight this. It's not good legislation. It's not good public policy."

Transamerica Retirement Solutions Debuts New Augmented Reality App To Help Boost Retirement Savings
Harrison, NY—November 10, 2014
Transamerica Retirement Solutions Debuts New Augmented Reality App
To Help Boost Retirement Savings
Mobile app provides interactive experience to promote retirement readiness
Transamerica Retirement Solutions announced today the availability of a new mobile app that can help drive up retirement savings by using augmented reality. The app brings a new level of interactive mobile technology that allows users to view short retirement readiness awareness videos. If Transamerica is their employer's retirement plan provider, it leads the user to Transamerica's website to take further action on saving for retirement.
The "Augmented Reality by Transamerica" (ART) app allows users to point their smartphone at a printed advertisement, and the app will provide an added digital layer of content. Currently, users will see short videos promoting the need to save for retirement. Transamerica is providing promotional posters to plan sponsor clients that will offer the augmented reality experience.
"Transamerica's new ART app is groundbreaking because it provides an augmented reality experience and then allows the user to take action to enroll in their company's retirement plan, increase their contribution percentages, or to assess their financial outlook for retirement," said Stig Nybo, president of U.S. retirement strategy for Transamerica Retirement Solutions. "Transamerica is a technology leader, and this app allows us to take a fun approach to addressing the serious topic of saving more for retirement."
Transamerica has a long history of using technology to promote retirement readiness. Last year, Transamerica introduced the award-winning Retirement Outlook EstimatorSM app that allows users to enter information to determine their forecast for reaching individual savings objectives. Transamerica's retirement plan sponsor and participant websites earn top accolades from independent research firms and customer satisfaction surveys.
"Studies show more people are using their mobile devices to manage their daily lives, including their retirement accounts. Millennials are especially apt to using their smartphone as their primary means of retrieving information," said Nybo. "Mobile apps are a convenient way for users to get information they seek while it is still top-of-mind, and allows for quick and efficient interaction. Inspiring people to take a positive action toward a brighter retirement is why Transamerica focuses on bringing new technology to our customers."
The ART app is available via Apple iTunes or Google Play. For more information, please visit Transamerica's website at www.trsretire.com.

A Great White shark seen on a video off the coast of Point Loma is unlikely the same one who attacked the teen at Beacon’s Beach in northern Encinitas back in September, says a shark expert.
Caren Charleston of Escondido captured on her video a dimly-lit shot of a Great White while she and her husband were fishing on their boat about ten miles from the Point Loma shore. The shark began circling the boat and Caren grabbed her GoPro. She stuck in the water and videotaped a Great White about 10-feet long. She told 8News:
This particular shark is unlikely the same one who attacked the kid in Encinitas, says Dr. Christopher Lowe, a shark expert who has studied the 13-year-old teen – Keane Webre Hayes’ case. He said sharks don’t normally stay in the same area following an attack.
Yet, the chances, he said, of seeing one these days is better than at other times of the year. He said:
“Because of the this time of year, adults come back from their open ocean migration and are going to feeding irrigation sites like the Farlone, the Channel Islands, Guadalupe Islands and Juveniles up north, near Monterrey. This season now that the water temperature is cooling down, they may be migrating south towards Baja.”
Based on tests of the DNA found on his wetsuit, it has been determined a Great White did attack Keane. 8News

People arriving to work in Townsville this morning were surprised to find the 35-metre tall ship Defender submerged at a wharf on Ross Creek in the city’s CBD.
Ship owner Les Dick, who is based in Tasmania, said it had been “gut wrenching” to hear the news this morning.
“We do suspect it’s been an act of vandalism or such leading to the sinking of the vessel,” Mr Dick said.
“We won’t know until we refloat the boat … but at the moment that’s what the people up there are saying.”
The Defender has been in Townsville for more than seven years after it was damaged in an engine room fire.
“Our next attack will be to get some competent people around us and some pumps, sandbags, and at the low tide this week, when the deck’s exposed, we’ll simply pump the boat out and refloat it again,” he said.

Wheelabrator hosts 20th annual Environmental Symposium | Wheelabrator
Wheelabrator hosts 20th annual Environmental Symposium
150 students from 15 middle schools "Connecting to the Oceans"
SUNRISE, Fla. — May 6, 2014 — Protecting South Florida's coastal areas, exploring the impact of urban development on the Hudson River Estuary and raising awareness about Atlantic menhaden fish populations are just a few of the sustainability projects middle school students will present today at the 20th annual Wheelabrator Symposium for Environment and Education in Sunrise, Florida.
In all, 150 students from 15 schools in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Florida will gather to present their projects to a panel of Wheelabrator Technologies employees, educators and environmental experts. A first for the Symposium series, each team presentation will be made available online, enabling classmates, family, friends, teachers, school administrators, and community and business leaders to watch the presentations unfold live.
"The Wheelabrator Symposium has served as the foundation of our efforts to help build sustainable communities and inspire the next generation of environmental leaders," said Mark Weidman, president of Hampton, New Hampshire-based renewable energy provider Wheelabrator. "As we celebrate the 20th anniversary, we applaud participating employees, educators and students for their inspiring dedication to sustainability over two decades. It is our hope that all students engaged in this environmental summit will continue to be inspired to make a difference and serve as advocates for the environment."
Under the guidance of local educators and Wheelabrator employees, student teams identified an environmental issue in their local communities at the start of the school year and decided how best to address it. Now, they must demonstrate to a panel of educators and environmental experts at the annual 4-day Symposium how they developed and implemented long-term solutions to those issues.
Through a partnership with third-generation ocean explorer Fabien Cousteau, the 2014 Wheelabrator Symposium's theme, "Connecting to the Oceans," encouraged students to link the quality of their local environment to the health of the seas around us. Cousteau will serve as a guest speaker at the Symposium's 20th anniversary celebration.
"For 20 years, Wheelabrator's Environmental Symposium program has encouraged citizenship, environmental stewardship and innovative thinking among young people," said Fabien Cousteau, first grandson of legendary explorer Jacques-Yves Cousteau. "It is our obligation to provide support and guidance to the next generation. I commend Wheelabrator and its employees for their commitment to providing middle school students with the resources and opportunities to become active environmental leaders in their communities."
Since 1994, the Wheelabrator Symposium has been a key component of the company's corporate social responsibility efforts, empowering more than 3,000 students to become active community environmental leaders. Wheelabrator also provides participating schools with in-kind and financial support, as well as a monetary donation at the conclusion of the Symposium, and students can later qualify for a scholarship through Wheelabrator's partnership with Fisk University in Nashville, Tennessee. The Symposium incorporates Science, Technology, Engineering, Math (STEM) concepts and provides students with an interdisciplinary view of environmental issues and solutions.
This year's stakeholder panel includes Cousteau; Director of Physics Labs at Fisk University Kent Wallace; President and CEO of the Bridgeport Regional Business Council Paul Timpanelli; and Dr. Merilyn Johnson STEM Supervisor and Curriculum Science Specialist for Broward County Public Schools. Jose Dotres, Broward County's Chief Academic Officer and Senior Leadership Cabinet member in charge of STEM, will provide opening remarks.
The day will culminate with an awards dinner hosted by WPLG Local 10 (ABC) Meteorologist Roland Steadham and feature the keynote address by Cousteau, founder of Plant a Fish™. "I am thrilled to be a part of such an inventive and successful environmental stewardship initiative," Cousteau said.
On Wednesday, students have an opportunity to engage with other teams at the first-ever Green Expo. Similar to a science fair, students will be provided a booth to display their projects, interact, ask questions and share ideas and best practices with their peers. The Symposium will conclude with a trip to Sawgrass Recreation Park, where students can explore the Florida Everglades.
Beginning June 1, students will be able to follow Cousteau and his team during Mission 31, a month-long research mission in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary aboard Aquarius, the only underwater marine habitat and lab in the world. Students also can participate in online science sessions on ocean conservation led by renowned scientists.

Report on Brave Men Testosterone Reduces Fear EssayDepot.com
Brave Men: Testosterone Reduces Fear
Date Submitted: 11/02/2010 10:53 PM
Men are mostly associated with power, dominance and courage in opposition to women's warm, caring and less aggressive nature. Studies verify, that the hormone testosterone, which is thought to be partly responsible for males behaviour in many animals and humans, has fear-reducing effects. A study from 2005 dealing with unconscious fear and another from 2006 examining the effects of the hormone on fear startle prove the anxyolitic effects of testosterone. These results may revolutionise the medical treatment of people suffering from anxiety disorders, such as phobias or panic disorder, as testosterone does not seem to have the side effects of anxiolyitics used nowadays.
The literature of the world – from children's bedtime stories to novels for adult audience – is full of the portrayal of the brave man, the hero who is ambitious and not afraid of going to battle or discovering the unknown. An extreme example for this is Saint-Exupéry's Little Prince who, during his travels visits seven planets, meeting the most different people. As the writer makes observations about human nature through the Prince's eyes, he introduces to us – among many others - The King, who "controls" the stars, The Businessman, who "owns" them and The Conceived Man, who yearns for admiration. These three also picture another side of men's nature: aspiring after status.
These characteristics not only seem natural, but are also proven from the biological and evolutional point of view. While women were responsible to nurture and raise children, thus needed to have a kind, trustful nature, men protected the family and later the community. This kind of behaviour in men is partly affected by testosterone, a hormone that many link to aggression, because of earlier, famous experiments – with rodents. This prejudice is still deeply engraved in people's minds, as a recent study proves (1). When the subjects took placebo thought to be T, they...

The Easter Bunny is the character that during Easter Sunday has been hiding the eggs that the children will have to find in a fun game in which the whole family can participate.
In many Easter decorations, as it is known in Anglo-Saxon countries, you can find the Easter bunny. And, as with eggs, Easter bunnies are often made from chocolate and sugar. In Germany, for example, this tradition of eating sweet Easter bunnies is very typical.
The origin of the Easter bunny is related to the pre-Christian and Anglo-Saxon festivals. The rabbit was used as a symbol of fertility.
It was associated with the goddess Easter, to whom tributes and offerings were made during April in all the villages of northern Europe. With time, this evolved and adapted to the Holy Week.
“the bunk-barn only will be re-opening for weekend sole use bookings from 4th July for groups made up of 1-2 households. Cost: £600 for 2 nights (Fri-Sun) with a 3rd night half price, so £750 for Fri-Mon. We’ve carried out a Covid-19 risk assessment and have put safety measures in place, including a thorough clean and leaving at least 72 hours between stays. A further reduction may be available if the cost is prohibitive for a small group/family, so please get in touch to enquire about this.

Barker Center Complex Goes Green | Sustainability at Harvard
On August 6, 2013 the Barker Complex's Green Team officially announced their existence to the world. In an email to all of the Barker staff, they explained that they were there to answer questions and would be sharing resources to help make life around the Barker Center a little greener.
The group of administrators connected through the FAS Green Program's Recycling Competition back in January. The competition pitted all of the departments in the Barker Complex (which consists of the Barker Center, Dana Palmer, and Warren House) to see who were the best recyclers. The conversations that arose from the competition made these staff realize that there was a common interest to work on green issues in the building, and following a model seen at other departments and buildings at Harvard, they got together to begin tacking these issues.
Though barely past inception, the team is already fielding questions from their coworkers, such as how to incorporate composting into their events, and what recommendations they have for green office supplies. The team is very aware, however, of how busy they all are with their day to day work, even without taking on the extra task of greening their community. To counter this, they are very conscious about delegating tasks, and finding ways to share ideas without obstructing the flow of their workday or spending time in meetings. Still, they maintain lofty goals for their buildings and foresee their efforts making big impacts.
If you're interested in joining the Barker Green Team, contact any of their members: Arthur Patton-Hock (American Civilizations), Kate Bowen (Committee on the Study of Religion), Stephanie Macaris Alusow (Special Concentrations), Cassandra Fradera (African and African American Studies), Isaure Mignotte (Comparative Literature), or Jay McNeil (Building Manager). Explore Harvard's Green Teams if you'd like to see if your building has a Green Team, or are interested in starting one.

Paul Pogba (£7.7m) returns to the Manchester United line-up as they prepare to face Everton in Gameweek 23.
The French international was handed a rest for the midweek win over Southampton but slots in at central midfield today.
He is paired with Scott McTominay (£4.9m), allowing Marcus Rashford (£9.6m) to take up his best position in the attacking midfield: the left-hand side.
Mason Greenwood (£7.0m) starts on the other side of Bruno Fernandes (£11.5m), this week’s most-captained player among the top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers.
Edinson Cavani (£7.9m) has overcome the ankle problem he sustained against Southampton to keep Anthony Martial (£8.7m) on the bench and will be searching for his third goal in four starts.
Gylfi Sigurdsson (£6.8m) drops to the bench as Carlo Ancelotti prefers more workman-like options such as Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.2m), Tom Davies (£5.2m) and André Gomes (£5.3m) in his central midfield trio.

Education and schools play a fundamental role. Humanitarian organisations put their hopes and trust in schools for the eradication of violence, or at least its reduction.
The report from the CSJ, completed through interviews with community leaders and organisations that work with the problem of violence, indicates that ‘it is fundamental to improve the self respect of children between 5 and 11 in order to avoid this feeling becoming negative’.
It also criticises the work of prevention in families most disadvantaged “they have become forgotten”. From its point of view it should be ‘reactivated in order to eradicate the problem from the root’.
Initiatives like the SOS Gangs Project, created by St Giles Trust, shows that youths can get out of the situation. This group has helped over 300 youths leave their situation and start a new life in more favourable surroundings.

Congrats to the Baylor Girls, Sorry for Being Mean Brittney | LobShots
← SDSU and Syracuse Meet Again…on the Midway
Fox Sports San Diego Pre-Game Setup at Petco →
I really don't care about women's basketball. College or pro. Maybe I will someday when my own daughter plays. Yesterday, Baylor won the national title going 40-0. Brittney Griner, of course, led the way. Over the month, I've done a few posts about her and said some of things that were kinda mean. I think she read them. Even the nicest post I wrote about her, I said, "Also, and I'm not trying to be mean when I say this… but if you listen to her talk with your eyes closed, not knowing who's speaking… that's a man's voice." I knew that what I was saying was so mean that I felt the need to clarify that I wasn't being mean. Okay? In this post, I referred to her as "she", using quotes. Passive aggressive mean. She is a she… no quotes. Then I put a photo up of the predator… you know, the dreadlock comparison. Mean. In this post, even though I did say she was "crazy impressive", I still did the "she" with quotes thing. Mean. I'm sure I've said mean things on twitter too… I don't remember. Last night, somebody sent me a link about Griner. I read it. Then I felt really guilty for being a jerk. She didn't ask to be really tall. She's just playing the hand that God dealt to her. Anyway, sorry Brittney, I'm happy that you committed to another year of college ball at Baylor. Good for you. Good luck to another dominating year. Again, sorry for the mean things I said. You seem a good person… certainly better than me. I hope you can forgive me. Lobsters, if you're interested in reading the link send to me, I'll post it below.
DENVER (AP) — Baylor coach Kim Mulkey says she's disgusted by taunting and insults directed at star player Brittney Griner on social media.

I'd say the same goes for Kim K. She too, is someone's daughter, that someone is satan.
you won't find any "sorry for being mean, kim" posts.
Don't feel too bad. Some girls just know how to ball. In fact I'm pretty certain that in her heyday, Mrs. BP could have taken you on the court. She'd have crossed you up and broken that other ankle of yours… Without your high school afro I bet she was as tall as you then. And I gaurantee she had a better shot.

Strive for Progress, Not Perfection – SEWING 4 SELF CARE
A look back at where my sewing journey began and the progress I've made from 2017 to 2021.
On 2nd March 2017, my sewing journey began. I initially started this blog to document my thoughts as a new sewist and to see progress in the quality of my makes. Very recently, I took the time to re-read my previous posts and marvelled at just how much love and passion I had for all things sewing, at such an early stage in my sewing adventure. I was unwavering in my quest to improve my skills and share my makes. Not only was I extremely ambitious with my sewing goals, but surprisingly pragmatic when faced with sewing challenges. When I look back at my posts and my very first sewing projects, I'm filled with so many emotions (predominantly joy), and I have some great memories. I'm so glad that I was meticulously detailed in those early posts. I really get a sense of the direction in which I wanted to take my sewing.
As is always the case, life intervened and thus began a 3 year hiatus from regular sewing and blogging. On reflection, the time away has simply strengthened my passion for sewing and added another dimension to my sewing journey. Now, I want to introduce as many people to this wonderful craft in order to encourage creativity, promote self-care, and highlight the benefits of sewing on maintaining positive mental health and well-being. I want everyone to feel the therapeutic effects of sewing that I, and many others in the sewing community, enjoy every time we participate in a sewing-related activity.
It is no understatement when I write that I am nothing short of amazed to see the progress that I have made in my sewing journey. I used to write regularly about my wish to open an Etsy shop to sell handmade items. In part, that came to fruition when in March 2020, I launched my website Quilted Beau, opening a sewing-related business. I'll write more about my business in a future post, but it's amazing for me to have achieved one of my goals that I set all those years ago. Despite the many changes and challenges I've encountered along the way.
The quality of my makes has certainly improved. The amount of time it takes me to complete a project has decreased, which is just as well because I have two children under the age of 3 years to contend with. My fabric stash has grown since my last post in 2017 showing my fabric purchases. I now have a designated sewing room, as opposed to being assigned to the dining room table. This progress has all been gradual but steady. It's not until I read my posts from 2017 that I could take stock of just how far I've come in my sewing journey….and in life.
To those of you reading this post who have recently embarked upon your own sewing journeys, I encourage you to keep persevering through the first weeks and months. There will be many learning curves (steep and at times unforgiving) but I promise you that it will be worth it in the end. Don't believe me? Go and have a read of my previous posts from the early days of my sewing. They are no holds barred in terms of how I feel, and my makes leave a lot to be desired. Then, have a look at my current work. Things will get better and you will improve with time and practise. I'm certainly not perfect, I still make mistakes and I still have a lot to learn, but the progress is undeniable and I will joyfully celebrate it.

It's now time for me to embark on another stage of my sewing journey. Spreading the word about how amazing sewing is, the fun that can be had creating your very own projects, and how beneficial it is for maintaining positive mental health and well-being. If you're reading this and you've never sewn a day in your life, hopefully I'm about to change that!

Have you ever thought about how difficult it would be to manage the crowd outside of your venue just before the event?
1. Manage Long queues
In the world of nightclubs and event management, the most disastrous thing is the queue and the people in them, sometimes getting impatient to go in. It’s not uncommon for people to wait in the long queue, standing 20 or 30 minutes or maybe more, before they get into their desired venue. But the life of the manager or the doorman becomes very hectic to check each and every single person’s name, tick that in the sheet, and then let them in. Sometimes, by the time a person gets in, they lose interest as well or just quit from outside, even though they spent money for that.
2. Manage data of the visitors
Using pen and paper is the most common and traditional way of managing guestlists in the world of event management and nightclubs. If you are a bit more than that, an excel sheet is the alternative for this. But is it worth it to spend time managing a lot of excel sheets or the papers with a long list of visitors? And what if you may lose it?
3. Earn more profit
Whether you are conducting events for your business or hosting an event at your nightclub, in the end, what matters is the numbers. Sell more tickets and manage your guests wisely within less time is every event manager or nightclub manager’s wish is. The whole event and nightlife business relies on the revenue generated from our events.
But what if we just look for a simplified solution for our business?
If you are thinking of how these 3 problems can be solved, Here is the solution for you – BaBash GateMe – The most advanced digital event management tool.
The digital guest list management system is the key that makes your event run smoothly. You can let people in faster and they don’t need to stand a lot of minutes in line, which means you’ll be able to maximize profits by not wasting time on queuing up before each person arrives!
GateMe’s QR code and name check-in system is the best way to speed up your arrival time. You can even add an +1 for extra guest satisfaction!

Adjuvants - Immunology - BioForum
Started by neuron, Oct 18 2013 01:42 AM
CpG can be used. In nature, it elicits a stronger innate response than humoral but has some success in vaccines. Here's a reference: http://www.ncbi.nlm....pubmed/21506647
http://onlinelibrary...1/cei.12146/pdf
Hi. Sorry for the delayed response. I have another reference (a commercial companies website) http://www.invivogen...ccine-adjuvants that provides a nice review on adjuvants and TH1 vs. TH2 immune response. I don't think that mixing vigorously is usually much of a problem. If the protein becomes aggregated - that's actually good for acheiving a good immune response & the immune system will break it apart anyway. If it causes a little fragmentation, that is usually ok too. A traditional alum or emulsion adjuvant has the additional benefit of serving as a 'time release', releasing the antigen a little at a time to increase presentation. Look over the website linked above, I think you'll like it - it has solid references and science but is clear an concise too (love that combination!).

The pendulum has shifted dramatically for how lawyers develop business, litigate cases, and obtain/demonstrate the necessary evidence to win their cases. When I started my legal career 13 years ago, I used “redwells”, binders, Word Prefect, Excel spreadsheets, hundreds of boxes, redaction tape, actual labels for Bates numbering, and warrooms where people literally lived at the office. Now, law firms are much more technologically savvy, utilizing complex document management systems, eDiscovery/ remote online document review platforms, and social media to brand, market, and drum up business. My, how times have changed. Although most of the large (250+ attorneys) law firms have embraced technology and have developed litigation support departments, IT help desks, etc. to meet the growing challenges and needs of their clients, many of the small (<25 attorneys) to mid-sized (25>249 attorneys) firms have been left behind. It is time for small and mid-sized firms to embrace legal technology and allow it help them win their cases too.
Here are 5 reasons why small and mid-sized law firms should embrace technology:
It Equalizes the Playing Field – Gone are the days where the “little guys” get bombarded with a sea of documents that used to hide the “needle in the haystack” from opposing counsel. Using affordable methods of forensic collection technology and reliable eDiscovery services, data can be extracted effortlessly from harddrives of computers and electronic devices. Keyword searches and other “culling” methods can reduce the review subset to manageable levels where a thorough document review can be performed. eDiscovery can level the playing by finding key documents that can prove your case.
Reduces Waste – Producing 5-10 copies of dozens of boxes of documents is one of the biggest wastes of paper and destruction of the environment of all time. I have visited warehouses of boxes of documents that need to be retained and preserved for years. Why not scan documents and send massive document productions via a secured FTP, CD, or DVD. 5 boxes of documents can be kept on a thumb drive or disk, reducing space and allow you to take massive quantities of documents with you “on the go!”
Saves Time – Lawyers and legal professionals can review documents and/or access their office computers from all around the world, just as long as there is an internet connection. Presently, lawyers can conduct interviews with clients and potential witnesses via WebEx/GoToMeetings, video conferencing, and Skype. Online hosted document review solutions allow users to access their data from anywhere, review, issue code, and redact all from the comforts of their home. Lawyers are even appearing via video conference to participate in depositions. Small and mid-sized firms can maximize their resources by being smart about needing to travel and how they can become more efficient. Smart phones and tablets are making it even easier to get more accomplished in half the amount of time and with the right software, you can even use your devices during trial.
Saves Money – Technology can make law offices much more efficient. Scanning and routing incoming mail via email cuts down the need to maintain paper files, creating and maintaining chron files, and over using expensive copiers that breakdown and require lots of maintenance. Moreover, the reduction of review time and the ability to collaborate with others via electronic methods, allow attorneys to focus on what is important, practicing law. Maintaining large libraries, magazine subscriptions, etc. can be costly and time consuming. Having a Lexis or Westlaw account and subscribing to the same publications online can make a significant cost saving impact (not to mention, save the environment). Using software for calendaring, conflicts, eFiling, etc. can also save money in the long run by not having to hire staff to do the tasks these methods can do for you.
Is More Effective – Counting on a jury comprised of a 10th Grade education to determine the outcome and damages for a complex pharmaceutical patent litigation case, is an expensive gamble in of itself. Let alone, relying on an expert with the brain of Einstein but with a distinctly strong Russian accent to communicate his intimate knowledge of this product to this jury is a difficult task. What if you incorporated 3D animation to illustrate this expert’s knowledge, which whittled down the dispute and clearly showed the infringement in 30-45 seconds? Technology has a funny way of doing things like that.
Technology’s purpose is to make life easier. Although, I have problems with replacing human beings completely because we all need to earn a decent living to feed our families and survive, technology can save time and money, and allow smaller adversaries the ability to battle and defeat the Goliath’s of the world. Often times, small and mid-sized firms feel as though they do not have the time nor the resources to invest in these types of solutions to common problems. Many of them will avoid asking for ESI (electronically stored information) in document requests or will use foam “story boards” in trial because they are too comfortable, do not want to deal with the expense, or are unwilling to venture out to new, unchartered territory. My recommendation…take the leap…take the plunge…embrace technology.

No surprises but a big drama nonetheless: The era of total Trump control is over - U.S. News - Haaretz.com
Trump will now face a confrontational House of Representatives, which will block his legislation, demand tax returns, launch myriad congressional investigations and maybe even impeachment proceedings
U.S. President Donald Trump waves while exiting the stage at a rally in Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S., November 5, 2018.Credit: AFP
NEW YORK – Initial results from the 2018 midterm elections promise a long and suspenseful night that will ultimately yield the results that everyone expected. Fox News was first to project that the Democratic Party will take control of the House of Representatives, with MSNBC following in its wake. Republicans will continue to rule the Senate, returning with what seems likely to be a greater majority than their current two-member margin.
But while the result won't be seen as sensational, because the pollsters and prognosticators got things right and have been projecting this very result for weeks, that should not detract from the dramatic impact the changeover in the House will have on the future of the United States in general, and the Donald Trump presidency in particular.
The two-year era of absolute Republican dominance of Washington is over. Trump will now face a confrontational House of Representatives, which will block his legislation, withhold his budgets and, as an opening gambit, demand to see his tax returns.
>>An election night of firsts: From Colorado's gay and Jewish governor, to Native American and Muslim women heading to Congress ■ Benjamin Netanyahu just lost the U.S. midterms ■ Thank you, America's women. You may yet save the world – from Trump
And the Democrats will have ample opportunities to launch myriad congressional investigations against Trump via the 20 standing committees they will now head – never mind the very real likelihood that sooner or later Democratic congressmen will launch impeachment proceedings.
The blue wave, as Democratic voter enthusiasm was dubbed, was apparently big enough to ensure a takeover of the House, but fell far short of the Tea Party tsunami that cost Democrats 63 House seats in the 2010 midterms.
Trump deserves much of the credit: He succeeded in energizing his electoral base in the final stages of the campaign and probably saved Republican seats in both the Senate and the House of Representatives. The close races in Florida for senator and governor, which have attracted national attention, can be directly linked to Trump's campaigning.
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz's razor-thin victory over rising Democratic superstar Beto O'Rourke could also be linked to Trump's support. Many Democrats are secretly pleased with O'Rourke's strong performance, which exceeded all expectations, as well as with his loss, which will allow him to launch preparations for a 2020 run for the presidency, which many support.
But while Trump has undoubtedly prepared in advance a list of scapegoats he will blame for the loss of the House, exit polls clearly indicate his role: 55 percent of voters said they did not approve of Trump's conduct, and another 56 percent said the United States was headed in the wrong direction.
Many Republicans are convinced that Trump's scare tactics in the latter part of the campaign may have spurred more Democrats than Republicans to come out and vote, but Trump will claim that his tactics, however deplorable, saved the Senate for the GOP and averted a far worse defeat.

People under 30-years-old -- including schoolchildren -- in Santa Clara County are not at any increased risk of mortality. In fact, a total of just four people under the age of 30 have died in our county; and, all four of these victims had preexisting conditions.
Of course, younger residents of our county have contracted COVID at a much higher rate than older residents. Despite this, they represent few of the actual COVID-19 deaths (and most were due to comorbidities). Most of the younger residents who have contracted COVID simply got better.
My point (again and again) is that the strategy should aim to safeguard those who are at greatest risk of hospitalization or mortality. This would include quarantining the elderly and those with already-existent health issues. This is especially true of those with pulmonary or hypercoagulability issues (regardless of the reason -- including obesity).
I would argue that the county should instruct those specific at-risk residents to self-quarantine (and help them through this). The state should provide ways to assist those individuals through delivery of groceries, necessities, etc. Unemployment should be provided for those at-risk individuals who self-quarantine. I think that the state, county and cities (and utilities) should find ways to help them as well.
Moreover, to stop the spread of COVID-19 to those at greatest risk, I think that the county should instruct everyone else to AVOID individuals with those issues. If they are quarantined, then avoid contact. Give them even greater social distance.
Obviously, there are people who are at-risk and elderly who live with those who aren't at the same level of risk. I believe that the county and state could come up with a response for individuals in those circumstances too -- to avoid making those individuals part of these terrible statistics.
There is no need to go back-and-forth endlessly and argue over semantics about whether obesity itself (and not specific related medical issues from obesity) are the "comorbidity." The issue has been fully understood from the get-go.
My point is that we should target those at greatest risk for the most important means for safeguarding themselves from contracting COVID-19. This would free up hospital space and, of course, keep them alive.

What the NHL needs to do - News - Tuscaloosa News - Tuscaloosa, AL
What the NHL needs to do
Mar 3, 2005 at 4:50 PM
I haven't had a good chance to rant on the cancellation of the NHL season yet, but I'll spare everybody and just tell you what I think the league should change.
First -- and most obvious -- create a salary cap. Foolish owners kept dishing out more and more money to the players. And who can blame the players for taking advantage of that? But it's gone on long enough and it's time for a cap.
Second, contract a few teams. About six teams need to go, namely those in the South that get no attendance whatsoever. Hockey is a Northern sport, and until it becomes a Southern sport, the NHL needs to stay out except for a few cities (Dallas, Tampa Bay, and Phoenix). And while they're at it, put a team or two back in Canada.
Shorten the regular season a bit too, by about 10-20 games. The NHL season is extremely fatiguing and 82 games are a bit much for the players, as well as the fans. However, leave the playoffs alone; if the NHL has anything going for it, it's the playoffs.
Change how the league is marketed. The NHL is a blue collar sport; gear it towards blue collar people. The biggest mistake Gary Bettman ever made was trying to turn the NHL into a corporate sport. The NHL is made for the Bud Light drinkers of the world, not the Cristal drinkers.
Speaking of Bettman: can him and Bob Goodenow. They've done nothing but ruin the league. Bettman never even saw a live hockey game when he was hired as commissioner and Goodenow had players go behind his back to try and negotiate something with the owners to salvage the season. They obviously have failed their jobs; it's time for them to go.
Change the rules to make the game more like it was in the 80s: high scoring and fast paced. Make the goalie pads smaller, increase the area behind the net, and crack down hard on clutching, grabbing and trap defenses.
Take ties out of the regular season, no one likes them. Instead, have a five minute sudden death period, and if neither team scores have a shootout. However, in the playoffs keep the endless sudden death overtimes. There is nothing more exciting than a five overtime thriller in the NHL playoffs. Also, bring back the old school division names like the Norris and Smythe. Just something about those names that is cool.
It's really that simple. If the NHL ever wants to be big again it'll have to cater to the fans, not to the money.

Happy Labor Day Everyone! How is Everyone... | Marriott Rewards® Insiders

GemPrincess Aug 31, 2012 2:37 PM
Happy Labor Day Everyone! Any special travel plans or celebrations? I am headed into NYC and trying out a new Fairfield Inn (well new to me)....will let you know how it goes. Then tomorrow I board a cruise ship headed to FLA and the Bahamas. Will be in Port Canaveral and Cocoa Beach for the holdiay and looking forward to see how they celebrate it. Also will be summarizing our travel reading blog. Am thinking of organizae books by Country - what do you think?
Re: Happy Labor Day Everyone! How is Everyone Celebrating???
Our 20th annual cul de sac cookout (this year with pictures of all the neighborhood young adults when they were four-eight year olds at the very first one - pretty neat) and then off to the beach at the very pleasant Virginia Beach Fairfield Inn (all ocean view rooms, one of the few cat. 6 FFI).Visiting friends from previous years sports tournaments down there, riding bikes on the nice asphalt 'boardwalk' and the usual beachlife lounging.Cheers to all.

Most kids still live in the northern virginia/DC area and some are even flying in. The photos are a surprise which will no doubt play to mixed reviews - the young adults/kids are not as sentimental as us - ha ha.The Hogs look tough this year, I would imagine it's not on PPV due to the modest opponent - that of course won't be the issue on the 15th, good luck in that one.

Love Virginia Beach! Use to go on weekends when I lived in DC. Is the Marriott somewhat new (haven't been there in a long time)? We use to stay at the Cavalier. I love their oceanfront rooms. If I left the slider open I could hear the ocean all night long.
erc Sep 1, 2012 9:24 PM
GemIt's about 8 or 9 years old, but still in great shape, I think they updated it a summer or two ago. We first started going there when our girls played in soccer and field hockey tournaments at the nearby training center. It's a great location centrally located right near where the expressway ends and about 20 blocks south of the still lovely Cavalier (been to several weddings there). Enjoy your cruise.
GemPrincess Sep 2, 2012 8:36 PM
We don't have any plans at all for this Labor Day week-end. I was planning on watching my Hogs first game on Pay-Per-View, but when I tried to sign up, it was only available in Arkansas and Alabama . If the wind dies down, we will be able to resume our daily bicycle rides. I hope everyone has fun and stays safe.
I'll be in San Francisco and Seattle over the weekend and into next week enjoying the festivities at the ball games and all the to-do activities in both cities. Happy Travels to all!
GemPrincess, Will be in Port Canaveral, staying at the FF in Titusville, Fl, next week. If you get a chance try the seafood at Rusty's Raw Bar at Port Canaveral. Not expensive, but a great seaway experience. You may want to go to CocoaNuts in CC Beach as well. If you really want fine dining, go to Cafe Margaux's in Cocoa Village, it it the finest place to dine in Brevard County! I will be there next Wed. night taking my Mother to dinner! If you want to have prime beef, right next door, Ulysses', (Alex, same owner as Cafe Margaux) has the best steak house in the county as well! Have a wonderful trip and Holiday Week-end!

I have recently arrived back in the UK from Kenya, prior to leaving I was asked if I could get hold of an old PC for a local work collegue. Sitting back in my garage is an old P2 Compaq Laptop which I am currently trying to set up and send to him.
Problem is its a Compaq Armada 1592DT and I cannot get into BIOS to boot from floppy in order to format the Hard Drive and carry out a clean install of Win 95 or ME.
Any help would be great, F8 only gives you normal, logged, safe mode and step by step.
When it boots the only thing on the screen is the memory size, no Press Del to enter BIOS. I heard there was preset key on these beasts to get into BIOS something like F10 however remember trying that and it did not work.
P.S. any link to old PC's going free to a good home, I'm sure we in UK chuck anything over three years old away, I have an outlet for these. Kenyan Schools!!

F10 is it.
To access Computer Setup (or Diagnostics) on the Compaq
Utilities menu, follow these steps:
1. Restart the computer by clicking Shut Down on the Windows
Start menu. (Or turn on power.)
2. Press F10 as soon as the cursor appears in the upper-right
IMPORTANT: The cursor is displayed on the screen for about two
seconds. If you do not press F10 during this time, you must restart

Not having a lot of luck here, when I switch on the Laptop all I get is a cursor flashing upper left hand side of the screen and then a display:
65536 KB OK
At no point during boot up does the cursor appear in the top right hand side of the screen.
Tried a restart same problem?
Even tried holding the down the F10 key during boot up, again no joy.

Egyptian entrepreneurs represent 14 of the 100 most influential tech startups in the MENA region, as chosen by the World Economic Forum. Some of them are names you'll definitely recognise.
Earlier this year, the World Economic Forum and the International Finance Corporation sought the leading tech-related startups in MENA as part of their Startup4IR initiative; well... the results are in. Out of the newly-selected 100 most influential Arab region startups, 14 come from Egypt. The entrepreneurs chosen will be among the attendees at WEF's annual regional conference, which will gather over 1,000 leading policymakers from over 50 countries near the Dead Sea in Jordan from May 19th to 21st.
The startup selections were made by some of the MENA's leading entities in the entrepreneurship ecosystem, including Wamda, Flat6Labs, Kawar Investments and Leap Ventures. The jury chose the winners based on their work in leading the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), a term that describes the current era of progress in fields of information and communications technology.
Among the 14 innovators from Egypt were stars such as networking platform RiseUp, education tech site Natham, Egypt's biggest green energy provider KarmSolar, home-cooked meal delivery service Mumm, and Vezeeta which made headlines last January after landing a $5 million investment. Other champions include internet personal shopping app Elves, free online learning platform Nafham, and Simplex, who were part of Cairo Scene's 25 under 25 in 2015. In particular, Egypt dominated the fintech selection, with big names such as banking network Fawry, online money circle Money Fellows - who were just awarded at the MIT Pan-Arab Start-Up competition - and payment portal Paymob, who were also selected amongst 2016's 25 under 25.
Egypt is one of the most represented countries on the top 100; however, the United Arab Emirates overwhelmingly tops the list, with 28 startups, including Bitcoin platform BitOasis and the ride-sharing service Careem. Twenty of Jordan's top companies were selected as well, including Arabia Weather and OpenSooq.com.
Lebanon had nine winners; among them are Scriptr.io, an Internet of Things (IoT) application platform; and ArabNet, the digital business conference. Some other famous names from the top 100 are Yemen's real-estate app Aqarmap, startup launchpad Magnitt from Iraq; and Uturn, the entertainment network from Saudi Arabia.
WEF MENA region head Mirek Duresk hopes that introducing entrepreneurs to politicians at the conference will help them expand their business perspectives to include regional development and their countries' GDP as part of a holistic business model. "You can see the impact and ingenuity of Arab startups everywhere in the Arab world… to me, this is the biggest underreported story in the region," he said.

I don't know what guides are but the inner tie-rods may be getting sloppy. You can carefully remove the boot, replace the tie-rods, get the alignment close with some hand tools and then send it to an alignment shop for the final touch
For sure on the tie rod ends -- both inner and outer -- but the OP may be referring to the rack guide itself. If adjusted it on both my Tacos to cure slop and an annoying clunk but it is is a bit tricky to do and I had to make a couple of tools. Got tight, non-clunky steering though.
All ball joints and tie rods and other bushings all looked good. Whatever my issue is, is under that boot. So inner tie rods I gather. The guide process seemed simple on 1st gens how was it on 2nd gen trucks?
The guide adjustment has a different design on the 2nd Gens. Like I said above, its a bit tricky and I had to make a couple of tools but can be done. It was loose and clunked on both my 2nd gens and I could not live with it that way. However, a long time ago this came up on this forum and created a bit of a storm. You have to be careful to not get it too tight because there is some belief, not verified from what I can tell, that the factory started using some type of teflon coating on the guide screw instead of some type of bearing. Anyway, some of the discussion surrounded whether a teflon coating would hold up or rapidly wear away leading to really rapid wear of the rack.

Excluded Middles: Quitting Facebook – AirportBurrito
Posted on September 9, 2013 by dederants
I think the reason many of us are so hungry to "fit it" is because all the luxuries afforded to the wealthy are so accessible to the rest of the world. We see someone with the hottest smartphone, the cutest bag, the fastest car, the biggest television, and we want the same thing, and there are those who will put themselves into debt in order to "keep up with the Joneses", so to speak. We don't take time out for ourselves, reflect on life, and think about things that we actually need. Not when everyone else has things that we're made to think we need, but it's only because we see someone with it and the joy in their reaction of getting it, how good it makes them feel.

The Secret To A Successful Protein Powder - Proteinfactory
The Secret To A Successful Protein Powder
Alex Rogers September 25, 2015 Protein Powder
My new protein blend with whey, casein, and Bio-Serum is available now at ~30% off! Its called 3XL and you can buy it now for only $29.99. I had it flavored Cinnabun…yum yum! It's mainly an anabolic protein with jacked up growth factors coming from the Bio-Serum 1. There is only a small amount of casein to help functionality. Use this blend in place of a normal whey protein and/or if you need a protein powder that tastes really good.
More than 15 years ago I started Proteinfactory.com. One of the main reasons I started this company because I was sick and tired of getting ripped off by companies using protein blends and not divulging the percentages they were using. So what I did was INVENT protein customization. Why? So you can know exactly what you are getting when you buy a blend. Unfortunately when the FDA changed the laws in 2010, we had to comply and protein customization went bye-bye. It was a great concept, protein percentages and I was sad to see way to battle the supplement companies vanish. However, the FDA is fighting for us & is now in our corner helping the consumer from not getting ripped off from companies that continue to use proprietary protein blends. I'll explain more below…but for now….
Protein blends are a scam! Yes you read right. I'm saying it right now, right here. If you are using a protein blend you are getting ripped off. You see supplement companies will create a protein blend to fool you into thinking that you're getting different sources of protein, when in reality you have NO IDEA what you are actually getting. I have a big problem with that. In addition, they are violating the FDA Code of Federal Regulations for Dietary Supplements 111's.
Let's take a look at a typically protein blend nutrition facts panel.
I have some issues with this as so should you! #1. It is labeld as a "food". If you have learned anything from my by now is that you NEVER buy food powders (powders labeled with a nutrition facts panel instead of a supplement facts panel)
#2 The ingredients. Do you see where I put all the question marks? How do you know exactly how many grams of each ingredient is in the powder? You don't and you'll never know.
This label above is easy to see that this is NOT they way to buy a protein powder blend.
Now this one is labeled with a supplement facts panel..however, they messed up on alot of the federal regulations. #1. You are not allowed to list ZEROS in the supplement facts panel. As you can see with this label, it contains zeros. This means the label is in violation of the FDA's 111's. Next is the proprietary blend. They list the protein in the OTHER ingredients part of the label which is again in violation of the FDA 111's. In addition, you as the consumer have no way to tell how much of each protein is actually used.
Some companies try to be like Proteinfactory.com and say that they don't use proprietary blends. However, they still LABEL their protein supplements incorrectly. A correctly labeled protein supplement that is AGAINST proprietary blends looks like this.
Do you see how the whey protein isolate and micellar casein is labeled INSIDE the supplement facts panel. NOT, I repeat, NOT OUTSIDE the supplement facts panel.
My new 3XL protein is labeled this way, so you know exactly what you are getting. 3 XL protein contains whey protein concentrate, casein, and bovine serum albumin. And the amounts are listed there as well. Use this blend if you want an upgraded protein blend that contains bovine serum albumin. It'll be much higher in protein subfractions than a normal whey protein.

IN August 2000 leading Democrats got together and produced the Hyde Park Declaration. Among other things the Democrats pledged to confront the fiscal problems that big entitlements will face in the future and to deal with the fact that their continued growth will bankrupt the programs. They also pledged to "honor our commitments to seniors". And they pledged to find a way to contain future costs acknowledging that Social Security and Medicare needed to be modified to reflect realities not envisioned when the programs were created.

Susitna Images
Susitna dawn
Susitna River Valley high country
The arguments against the dam can and should be politically astute, economically viable, practical.
But beneath those necessary arguments remains a visceral reaction to an 80-story windowless concrete skyscraper blasted into the heart of what once was considered sacred by all people anywhere and everywhere. Not one of our original ancestors, no matter what our ancestry, ever viewed the earth as other than sacred. It was who we were, all of us, how we saw the world, what we felt about lands we lived amidst when we wore skins and pushed deeper into magical unknown realms now called "France" or "Peru" or "Kansas City" to then either stay in wondrous gratitude for the
fecundity or explore even further until finding home. Yes, that was all tens of thousands of years ago, but it's who we have been, all of us, all us real human beings. And it's who we still are. Biological evolution doesn't allow those basic hard-wired instincts to be completely removed from our genomes in a few generations after thousands of generations of hard-wiring. We're connected to the earth. Still. Even Adam and Eve were in awe of their Garden until they thought, "Hmm. Maybe we can make it better."
So much fear has resulted from how we have taken charge of the known world that frantic has become our modus operandi. If we need lots of electricity, let's build the biggest source of electricity ever! Just to feel safe! Just to quell anxiety! But loosing nuclear power plants and crushing great rivers just makes more problems.
The weird thing is that actual representatives of Homo sapiens whose evolutionary biology predisposes them to awe of and gratitude for sustaining land can actually chopper in to a proposed dam site amidst vast unbroken wilderness and say, "Yup, that rock'll hold 80 stories of concrete no problem" as opposed to a whispered, "My god. Do you feel this?" But it's not that they don't get it, don't feel the resonance with 40,000 years of the sacred, don't catch their breaths. They just assume that one area made profane won't alter the grander design of the earth's sustenance. Which is crazy. Now. After having subsumed most of the planet beneath our designs.
Dogsledding in the Susitna River Valley
The truth of this perspective does make some people defensive. "I want me and my kids to have enough of what we need! There's nothing wrong with that!"

About this model: The Waveform is one of the latest graphic Sebenzas from CRK. It incorporates very cool repeating "wave" engravings with multi color anodization in the engraving channels with a satin finish on the scale flat. The stonewashed finished blade looks great with the blasted/satin frame. One of the cool little touches put on this knife is that the blue thumbstud is on the blue side of the engraving anodization spectrum, with the bronze anodized lanyard pin is on the bronze side of the engraving. Small touches like that really show you the attention to detail the the CRK crew is putting into their designs.
About the Sebenza: Since 1990 The Chris Reeve Sebenza (Zulu word for work) has set the standard for what is possible in a precision manufactured folding knife. Chris Reeve developed the Sebenza Integral Lock (commonly referred to as a frame lock) which is concept of a handle slab to be used as the lock bar for the blade resulting in exceptional strength for hard use. The current Sebenza 21 model represents the accumulation of more than 20 years of experience and user feedback. It is based on the Classic Sebenza with subtle improvements such as: The front of the handle now as a chamfer (beveled) angle making it easier to insert into a pocket or pouch. The lanyard hole in the frame has been replaced with an anodized lanyard pin.

JC Diwakar Reddy's speech only to please Chandrababu
Senior YSRCP MLA and party leader G. Srikanth Reddy said that the kind of politics JC Diwakar Reddy indulged in were those of flattery. He said that politicians trying to ingratiate themselves to chief ministers was a common sight. Speaking to the media at the party headquarters here, the YSRCP legislator said that JC Diwakar Reddy spoke only to please Chandrababu Naidu.
Srikanth Reddy also pointed out that it was only due to the late Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy's generosity that JC Diwakar Reddy became a minister. Numerous atrocities were committed by JC in Tadipatri, he pointed out and added that he could not even win a local municipal election today.
The YSRCP MLA observed that farmers continued to commit suicide in Anantapur district and that thousands of acres of land were being snatched in the name of setting up industries. He added that crores of rupees are being spent from the state exchequer for public meetings by the Telugu Desam government.
Srikanth Reddy criticised TDP leaders for not referring to the party's manifesto at the Mahanadu. Motkupalli Narsimhulu and Nagam Janardhan Reddy are prime examples of how Chandrababu Naidu used and discarded his loyal followers.

Stay in the Heart of Music City - บ้าน ให้เช่า ใน แนชวิลล์, เทนเนสซี, สหรัฐอเมริกา
Stay in the Heart of Music City
I love this house for it's openness and centralized location. The open floor plan makes it feel very communal with large groups, and you're within walking distance to countless attractions and great restaurants. $7 Uber to downtown.
This home is close to everything! Take a $7 Uber ride to Broadway and all its great live music and bars, or visit the countless great restaurants and attractions within walking distance. Seriously, get on Yelp and you'll be overwhelmed. There's also a bicycle rental station two blocks from the house if you want to bike to a Nashville Sounds or Titans game.
In addition to the wi-fi, the house has its own complimentary Netflix service courtesy of the SmartTV.
The open floor plan is great for groups. The kitchen is fully functional, and the dining room table extends to seat 10.
There are beds enough for 6, and an enormous couch and two queen air mattresses for the rest. The mattresses are all plush and the sheets all microfiber.
I travel frequently for work, but will be available by phone or app to make recommendations or answer any questions guests might have.
I want guests to enjoy their stay and get the most from their time visiting. I only ask that guests treat my home as they would theirs.
I value my relationship with my neighbors and ask that guests keep noise levels to a reasonable level to help maintain that relationship. This is especially true in the evenings when hanging out outside or waiting for an Uber/Lyft. Thank you so much for your cooperation.
Caleb was great and very welcoming. The house was in a very good location, walking distance to restaurants and short drive to downtown. We had a great time.
Great spot for any type of vacation - Caleb was communicative and the place was perfect for our needs!
