Title: Cost to US of Iraq and Afghan wars could hit $6 trillion Headings: Cost to US of Iraq and Afghan wars could hit $6 trillion Cost to US of Iraq and Afghan wars could hit $6 trillion Content: The largest expenditures for World War II veterans were in the late 1980s. Payments to Vietnam and first Gulf War veterans are still climbing," it said. The second major hidden cost of the two conflicts will be servicing the debts incurred as a result of the "unprecedented" decision to pay for the wars entirely from debt while cutting taxes during wartime – as the Bush administration did in 2001 and 2003. The decision to finance the war through borrowing has already added $2 trillion to the US national debt – or about 20 per cent of the total national debt added between 2001 and 2012. "The immediate budgetary cost has been $260 billion in interest paid for borrowings to date," the report said, but warned that accrued interest on existing borrowings, and the cost of future borrowings would see the eventual bill "reaches into the trillions". The estimates dwarf the initial projections of the war costs. In 2002 Lawrence Lindsey, then President Bush's chief economic adviser, estimated that the "upper-bound" costs of war against Iraq would be $200 billion, but added that the "successful prosecution" of the war would be good for the economy. That notion is severely challenged by the report which warns that cost of the wars is already affecting investment in education, infrastructure and scientific research, and that a large proportion of the money spent did not help to grow the wider US economy. The 'baked in' costs of higher wages and benefits for service personnel and better care for veterans is also likely to constrain the ability of the US Department of Defence to invest in maintaining and upgrading fighting forces. "The war debt has been especially unhelpful.

The origins of fake news How did the internet and social media change things? Impact of Russia, the 2016 US election and Trump So, what exactly is fake news? Has it had an influence? What is being done about it? How do you spot it? Content: Before the internet, it was much more expensive to distribute information, building up trust took years, and there were much simpler definitions of what constituted news and media, making regulation or self-regulation easier. But the rise of social media has broken down many of the boundaries that prevented fake news from spreading in democracies. In particular it has allowed anyone to create and disseminate information, especially those that have proven most adept at "gaming" how social networks operate. Facebook and Twitter allowed people to exchange information on a much greater scale than ever before, while publishing platforms like WordPress allowed anyone to create a dynamic website with ease. In short, the barriers to creating fake news have been undone. In addition chat apps like WhatsApp have become hubs for disinformation and fake news, so much so that its parent Facebook reduced the number of people users can forward a message to down to five. Other apps like end-to-end encryption app Telegram has also allowed for false information to be more readily spread. Impact of Russia, the 2016 US election and Trump In 2019, Trump unveiled the winners of his much-touted " Fake News Awards ", escalating his already persistent attacks on a number of major US media outlets. The brash Republican president announced the ten "honorees" using his preferred medium of Twitter, linking to a list published on the Republican Party's website that crashed minutes after his big reveal. Trump's Twitter account became a hub for fake news and misinformation with the social media site making the decision to label his tweets last year.

Others blame widening partisanship, which meant readers were more prone to believe and share stories that fit their beliefs. The rise of social media itself has also been seen as central. Sites like Facebook are accused of creating "filter bubbles", the phenomenon of showing people things that they like or tend to agree with, and hiding those that they don't. Critics of Facebook and Twitter say the sites are purpose built for spreading misinformation, with the reach of a story dependent on its ability to go viral - something that often depends on sensationalism and emotional reactions more than truth itself. Headlines such as "Pope backs Trump", "Hillary sold weapons to ISIS", "FBI Agent Suspected in Hillary Email Leaks Found Dead" went viral on Facebook in the run up to the election, garnering thousands of shares.

The origins of fake news How did the internet and social media change things? Impact of Russia, the 2016 US election and Trump So, what exactly is fake news? Has it had an influence? What is being done about it? How do you spot it? Content: Warnings on potential fake news stories have been introduced by Facebook, but this does little to combat content that exists on the site itself. Has it had an influence? It is hard to tell. Facebook's chief executive Mark Zuckerberg initially said the idea that misinformation on Facebook influenced the election was a "crazy idea", but has backtracked, saying he regrets the comments. The sheer scale of Facebook and Twitter - 2bn and 330m users respectively - and the hours spent on them each week suggest many eyeballs have come into contact with fake news stories or misinformation campaigns. According to a study from Stanford University, fake news websites received 159 million visits during the month of the 2016 US election, and other research has shown the most widely-shared news stories during the election were fake. The majority were also pro-Trump. There is less evidence of fake news taking off in the UK during the Brexit vote or this year's general election, although there is evidence that bots have been used in both. However, there is a difference between reach and influence. The latter is a very difficult thing to measure, and this has been true of media for years - how much does the media drive beliefs, and how much does it reflect beliefs?

Credit: Photo: ALAMY Although the world wide web has been around for just 20 years, it is hard to imagine life without it. It has given us instant access to vast amounts of information, and we’re able to stay in touch with friends and colleagues more or less continuously. But our dependence on the internet has a dark side. A growing body of scientific evidence suggests that the net, with its constant distractions and interruptions, is turning us into scattered and superficial thinkers.

I’ve been studying this research for the past three years, in the course of writing my new book The Shallows: How the Internet Is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember. But my interest in the subject is not just academic. It’s personal. I was inspired to write the book after I realised that I was losing my own capacity for concentration and contemplation. Even when I was away from my computer, my mind seemed hungry for constant stimulation, for quick hits of information. I felt perpetually distracted.

Title: How the Internet is making us stupid Headings: How the Internet is making us stupid How the Internet is making us stupid Content: By changing our habits of mind, each new technology strengthens certain neural pathways and weakens others. The alterations shape the way we think even when we’re not using the technology. The pioneering neuroscientist Michael Merzenich believes our brains are being “massively remodelled” by our ever-intensifying use of the web and related media. In the 1970s and 1980s, Mr Merzenich, now a professor emeritus at the University of California in San Francisco, conducted a famous series of experiments that revealed how extensively and quickly neural circuits change in response to experience. In a conversation late last year, he said that he was profoundly worried about the cognitive consequences of the constant distractions and interruptions the internet bombards us with. The long-term effect on the quality of our intellectual lives, he said, could be “deadly”. Not all distractions are bad. As most of us know, if we concentrate too intensively on a tough problem, we can get stuck in a mental rut. But if we let the problem sit unattended for a time, we often return to it with a fresh perspective and a burst of creativity. Research by the Dutch psychologist Ap Dijksterhuis indicates that such breaks in our attention give our unconscious mind time to grapple with a problem, bringing to bear information and cognitive processes unavailable to conscious deliberation.

We usually make better decisions, his experiments reveal, if we shift our attention away from a mental challenge for a time. But Dijksterhuis’s work also shows that our unconscious thought processes don’t engage with a problem until we’ve clearly and consciously defined the problem. If we don’t have a particular goal in mind, he writes, “unconscious thought does not occur.” The constant distractedness that the net encourages—the state of being, to borrow a phrase from T S Eliot, “distracted from distraction by distraction” — is very different from the kind of temporary, purposeful diversion of our mind that refreshes our thinking. The cacophony of stimuli short-circuits both conscious and unconscious thought, preventing our minds from thinking either deeply or creatively.

Title: I worked in the sex trade; does that make me 'trafficked'? Headings: I worked in the sex trade; does that make me 'trafficked'? I worked in the sex trade; does that make me 'trafficked'? Here comes the statistics bit Cracking down: Has it worked? Harming not helping How to really stop slavery Content: Media coverage equates all trafficking with sex trafficking, but most trafficked people are brought in for domestic labour, agriculture, and food processing. They end up in jobs British nationals don’t want, or are hired by employers who want to illegally pay under minimum wage. So why the panic about women being trafficked for sex? Chinese cocklers travelling up and down the country, crammed into transit vans and sleeping dozens to a room, are invisible to most of us. The well-worn cliché of a damaged woman whose purity is compromised, on the other hand, tugs at the heartstrings more keenly than the abuse of mere “economic migrants”. It is rarely pointed out that of the trafficking referrals made to police in the UK, one in four are men, and domestic and agricultural exploitation counts for six of every 10 cases. No one seems to care about those numbers. But once sex is involved, the attitude changes dramatically. In forced sex trafficking estimates, most numbers have been overcounted, rather than undercounted. The numbers of supposed sex slaves quoted by MacShane are so unrealistic that, if true, they would account for the vast majority of prostitution in Britain.

Meanwhile data from the UK Network of Sex Work Projects (UKNSWP) records an estimate of 17,081 sex workers in some kind of contact with centres. Of these 4178 - about 24pc - work on the street.

Title: Who really invented the telephone? Headings: Who Really Invented the Telephone? Who Really Invented the Telephone? Content: It was not an imitation of Bell's, he insisted, but an improvement upon an electrical device made by a German named Philip Reis, in 1861. Thus there appeared upon the scene the so-called "Reis telephone," which was not a telephone at all, in any practical sense, but which served well enough for nine years or more as a weapon to use against the Bell patents. Poor Philip Reis himself, the son of a baker in Frankfort, Germany, had hoped to make a telephone, but he had failed. His machine was operated by a "make-and-break" current, and so could not carry the infinitely delicate vibrations made by the human voice. It could transmit the pitch of a sound, but not the QUALITY. At its best, it could carry a tune, but never at any time a spoken sentence. Reis, in his later years, realized that his machine could never be used for the transmission of conversation; and in a letter to a friend he tells of a code of signals that he has invented. Bell had once, during his three years of experimenting, made a Reis machine, although at that time he had not seen one. But he soon threw it aside, as of no practical value.

Title: Who really invented the telephone? Headings: Who Really Invented the Telephone? Who Really Invented the Telephone? Content: As a teacher of acoustics, Bell knew that the one indispensable requirement of a telephone is that it shall transmit the WHOLE of a sound, and not merely the pitch of it. Such scientists as Lord Kelvin, Joseph Henry, and Edison had seen the little Reis instrument years before Bell invented the telephone; but they regarded it as a mere musical toy. It was "not in any sense a speaking telephone," said Lord Kelvin. And Edison, when trying to put the Reis machine in the most favorable light, admitted humorously that when he used a Reis transmitter he generally "knew what was coming; and knowing what was coming, even a Reis transmitter, pure and simple, reproduces sounds which seem almost like that which was being transmitted; but when the man at the other end did not know what was coming, it was very seldom that any word was recognized." In the course of the Dolbear lawsuit, a Reis machine was brought into court, and created much amusement. It was able to squeak, but not to speak. Experts and professors wrestled with it in vain.

In the course of the Dolbear lawsuit, a Reis machine was brought into court, and created much amusement. It was able to squeak, but not to speak. Experts and professors wrestled with it in vain. It refused to transmit one intelligible sentence. " It CAN speak, but it WON'T," explained one of Dolbear's lawyers. It is now generally known that while a Reis machine, when clogged and out of order, would transmit a word or two in an imperfect way, it was built on wrong lines. It was no more a telephone than a wagon is a sleigh, even though it is possible to chain the wheels and make them slide for a foot or two. Said Judge Lowell, in rendering his famous decision:

Content: One of them claimed to have done wonders with an iron hoop and a file in 1867; a second had a marvelous table with glass legs; a third swore that he had made a telephone in 1860, but did not know what it was until he saw Bell's patent; and a fourth told a vivid story of having heard a bullfrog croak via a telegraph wire which was strung into a certain cellar in Racine, in 1851. This comic opera phase came to a head in the famous Drawbaugh case, which lasted for nearly four years, and filled ten thousand pages with its evidence. Having failed on Reis, the German, the opponents of Bell now brought forward an American inventor named Daniel Drawbaugh, and opened up a noisy newspaper campaign. To secure public sympathy for Drawbaugh, it was said that he had invented a complete telephone and switchboard before 1876, but was in such "utter and abject poverty" that he could not get himself a patent. Five hundred witnesses were examined; and such a general turmoil was aroused that the Bell lawyers were compelled to take the attack seriously, and to fight back with every pound of ammunition they possessed. The fact about Drawbaugh is that he was a mechanic in a country village near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.

Title: Foreclosures for tenants - Tenants Legal Center Headings: Content: Foreclosures for tenants - Tenants Legal Center Foreclosures (and evictions) Owners TENANTS EVICTIONS Do not be intimidated with the threat of an eviction. You do have rights and we can help. WHAT HAPPENS TO THE RENTAL AGREEMENT? Your rights as tenants in a foreclosed property vary depending on the situation. Your residential rental agreement/lease may be able to survive a foreclosure. There may be limited exceptions but these must be viewed on a case by case method. Commercial leases are handled on a different basis outside of these residential protection laws. WHAT TO DO ABOUT PAYING RENT When a mortgage goes into default, the landlord may still have the right to claim rent all the way up to a trustee sale (losing the property) That right is subject to landlord tenant laws. When the trustee sale is imminent, it is important to seek legal advice on how to protect your rights before withholding rent. Many landlords take action to try and save the property and prevent the trustee sale.

When the trustee sale is imminent, it is important to seek legal advice on how to protect your rights before withholding rent. Many landlords take action to try and save the property and prevent the trustee sale. Once the trustee sale occurs, tenants should no longer pay the former owner (ex landlord) since they no longer own the property. WHAT TO DO IF YOU NEED MORE TIME TO MOVE As a tenant in a foreclosed home, you may be allowed to remain through the lease term or you may be asked to move in as little as 60 or 90 days. In many cases you can gain additional time to relocate or perhaps you would like to try and buy the home for a reduced price before moving. For many tenants, this could be a golden opportunity. Do not be intimidated by any paperwork regarding eviction.

Compassion fatigue has been described as the “cost of caring” for others in emotional pain (Figley, 1982). The helping field has gradually begun to recognize that workers are profoundly affected by the work they do.

While Compassion Fatigue (CF) refers to the profound emotional and physical erosion that takes place when helpers are unable to refuel and regenerate, the term Vicarious trauma (VT) was coined by Pearlman & Saakvitne (1995) to describe the profound shift in world view that occurs in helping professionals when they work with clients who have experienced trauma.

Helpers notice that their fundamental beliefs about the world are altered and possibly damaged by being repeatedly exposed to traumatic material. Burnout is a term that has been used since the early 1980s describe the physical and emotional exhaustion that workers can experience when they have low job satisfaction and feel powerless and overwhelmed at work. However, burnout does not necessarily mean that our view of the world has been damaged, or that we have lost the ability to feel compassion for others. Most importantly, burnout can be fairly easily resolved: changing jobs can provide immediate relief to someone suffering from job-related burnout.

Most importantly, burnout can be fairly easily resolved: changing jobs can provide immediate relief to someone suffering from job-related burnout. This is not the case for CF and VT. Helpers can simultaneously experience Compassion Fatigue and Vicarious Trauma. They are cumulative over time and evident in our personal and professional lives. They are also an occupational hazard of working in the helping field. ( Saakvitne & Pearlman, 1996) As a helping professional, the distinction described above may not be particularly important to make.

As well, the more that we know about the problem, the more able we are to develop strategies to prevent/modulate the impact of what we experience. Gaining an understanding of where your personal Compassion sits can be done using the Proqol Self Test. Is your job challenging because of the types of client situations you have to deal with? Because of the volume of work or because of a toxic supervisor? Or all of the above? Read through the examples below and notice if you recognize elements of these scenarios in yourself. Example: If my job as an administrative assistant to a parole officer is to read the files of violent sex offenders, I may be secondarily traumatized and deeply disturbed by the content of what I read. This may, in turn, affect my sex life, my feelings of safety for my children or my ability to watch television (Vicarious Trauma).

Join our Facebook group and connect with other professionals about compassion fatigue, burnout and vicarious trauma. Sources: Content: Compassion fatigue and Vicarious Trauma are much more complicated than just being tired and overworked. They are often caused by a conflict between our deepest values and the work that we are required to do, a phenomenon which is called moral distress. Using our specialized course in Compassion Fatigue, TEND has worked with individuals who are not in the helping field but who still feel severe work-related burnout (e.g. someone working as an administrative assistant in a toxic work environment). What are some of the signs of compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma? Researchers have discovered that helpers, when they are overtaxed by the nature of their work, begin to show symptoms that are very similar to their traumatized clients. These symptoms can negatively affect the workplace and create a toxic work environment. Difficulty concentrating Intrusive imagery Feeling discouraged about the world Hopelessness Exhaustion and irritability High attrition (helpers leaving the field) Negative outcomes (dispirited, cynical workers remaining in the field, boundary violations) For more information, check out this article Warning signs of Vicarious Trauma/Secondary Traumatic Stress and Compassion Fatigue What factors contribute to CF/VT and Burnout? There are many reasons for which helping professionals can develop compassion fatigue and vicarious trauma. These are described in Saakvitne and Pearlman’s book “Transforming the Pain” (1996): The Individual:

Most helpers also have other life stressors to deal with. Many are in the “sandwich generation” – meaning that they take care of both young children and aging parents in addition to managing a heavy and complex workload. Helpers are not immune to pain in their own lives and, in fact, some studies show that they are more vulnerable to life changes (such as divorce and addictions) than people who do less stressful work.

Sources: Content: Helpers often do work that other people don’t want to hear about. They spend their time caring for people who are not valued or understood in our society. This may include individuals who are homeless, abused, incarcerated or chronically ill. Furthermore, our working environments are often stressful and fraught with workplace negativity. This negativity is often a result of individual compassion fatigue, burnout and general unhappiness. The work itself is also very stressful. Dealing with clients/patients who are experiencing chronic crises, who have difficulty controlling their emotions, and/or those who may not get better can be draining. Finally, we live in a society that glamorizes violence and does not adequately fund efforts to reduce or prevent violence in our society. What can be done? Organizational health researchers have been busy studying the most effective strategies to reduce, mitigate and prevent CF and VT in helping professionals.

This includes: Access to a supportive, flexible manager who is open to regular workload assessments in order to reduce trauma exposure Leadership from a manager who encourages staff to attend ongoing professional education and who provides timely and good quality supervision as needed.

Helpers need to develop stress resiliency skills so they can continue to be able to do this challenging work. What if those strategies aren’t enough? Compassion Fatigue and burnout can lead to very serious problems, such as depression, anxiety and suicidal thoughts. When this happens you deserve to have help.

Title: Aged Beef at Home: More Tender, More Flavorful Headings: Aged Beef at Home: More Tender, More Flavorful Aged Beef at Home: More Tender, More Flavorful Aging Meat…Isn’t That a Little Odd? Dry Aged vs. Wet Aged I Want to Buy Aged Beef Online…Which Do I Choose? Content: while the grocer is selling that 10-ounce rib eye steak for $7.49, the restaurant is charging $40. If they sold you a cheaper steak, it would be no better than what you can cook at home. They need to create that special experience that can only come from a properly aged steak. Dry Aged vs. Wet Aged There are two ways to age beef: dry and wet. Dry aging is the practice of hanging an entire beef, side of beef or certain primal cuts (e.g. rib, loin) in a controlled, refrigerated environment for several weeks. The temperature must remain between 32 and 36 degrees F. Too warm, and the meat will spoil; too cold, and the meat will freeze, halting the aging process. Humidity is tightly regulated, and there must be constant circulation of air. In addition to the tenderizing and flavor-enhancing effects created by the meat’s natural enzymes, the dry aging process promotes the growth of certain mold species on the meat’s surface.

Title: 10 Reasons Why Quiet Doesn’t Always Mean Shy Headings: 10 Reasons Why Quiet Doesn’t Always Mean Shy 10 Reasons Why Quiet Doesn’t Always Mean Shy I’m listening I’m showing consideration I’m contemplating I’m softly spoken I’m preparing I’m showing restraint I’m stoic I’m a perfectionist I’m exploring my imagination I’m tired Trackbacks Content: Consider the following reasons why someone might be quiet, other than shyness. I’m listening Many quiet people are very good listeners and prefer to focus on the person who is speaking, rather than trying to join in the conversation by talking over them or forcing their opinions on others. I’m showing consideration Not everyone will naturally shove themselves forward to reach the front of the queue before anyone else. The same applies to conversation. Someone may be quiet because they are polite and want to make sure you have finished speaking before they take their turn. I’m contemplating They say still waters run deep. Well just because someone doesn’t give a detailed verbal response doesn’t mean they aren’t giving your idea or comment a lot of thought before they answer. They might even prefer to go away and think about something in-depth so they can give the best reply. I’m softly spoken Just because someone has a soft voice doesn’t mean they aren’t eager to chat or be noticed. I’m preparing If you’re not prepared for a meeting or a particular chat, you could end up saying the wrong thing, perhaps even something you’ll regret.

Title: 10 Reasons Why Quiet Doesn’t Always Mean Shy Headings: 10 Reasons Why Quiet Doesn’t Always Mean Shy 10 Reasons Why Quiet Doesn’t Always Mean Shy I’m listening I’m showing consideration I’m contemplating I’m softly spoken I’m preparing I’m showing restraint I’m stoic I’m a perfectionist I’m exploring my imagination I’m tired Trackbacks Content: I’m contemplating They say still waters run deep. Well just because someone doesn’t give a detailed verbal response doesn’t mean they aren’t giving your idea or comment a lot of thought before they answer. They might even prefer to go away and think about something in-depth so they can give the best reply. I’m softly spoken Just because someone has a soft voice doesn’t mean they aren’t eager to chat or be noticed. I’m preparing If you’re not prepared for a meeting or a particular chat, you could end up saying the wrong thing, perhaps even something you’ll regret. But we don’t always have the opportunity to prepare fully, we might only have chance to run through ideas in our head while someone else is speaking. I’m showing restraint There are some people are happy to say anything that comes into their head, regardless of how it may affect those around them. Others prefer to filter. They might listen to you ramble on about your relationship troubles for hours, but they know you’ll be upset by an honest opinion so they choose to hold back. I’m stoic Some people are just naturally reticent and don’t feel the need to talk for the sake of filling the silence.

Good conversation requires mental stimulation. Of course, this list deals in generalisations, although the whole point of the post is to avoid them.

Title: Terrorist Goals and Motivations Headings: terrorism RESEARCH terrorism RESEARCH Goals and Motivations of Terrorists Content: Another common form of symbolism utilized in terrorist targeting is striking on particular anniversaries or commemorative dates. Nationalist groups may strike to commemorate battles won or lost during a conventional struggle, whereas religious groups may strike to mark particularly appropriate observances. Many groups will attempt to commemorate anniversaries of successful operations, or the executions or deaths of notable individuals related to their particular conflict. Likewise, striking on days of particular significance to the enemy can also provide the required impact. Since there are more events than operations, assessment of the likelihood of an attack on a commemorative date is only useful when analyzed against the operational pattern of a particular group or specific members of a group's leadership cadre. The Intent of Terrorist Groups A terrorist group commits acts of violence to - Produce widesrpead fear Obtain worldwide, national, or local recognition for their cause by attracting the attention of the media Harass, weaken, or embarrass government security forces so that the the government overreacts and appears repressive Steal or extort money and equipment, especially weapons and ammunition vital to the operation of their group Destroy facilities or disrupt lines of communication in order to create doubt that the government can provide for and protect its citizens Discourage foreign investments, tourism, or assistance programs that can affect the target country�s economy and support of the government in power Influence government decisions, legislation, or other critical decisions Free prisoners Satisfy vengeance Turn the tide in a guerrilla war by forcing government security forces to concentrate their efforts in urban areas.

Title: Differences between Terrorism and Insurgency Headings: terrorism RESEARCH terrorism RESEARCH Differences between Terrorism and Insurgency Content: Insurgencies require the active or tacit support of some portion of the population involved. External support, recognition or approval from other countries or political entities can be useful to insurgents, but is not required. A terror group does not require and rarely has the active support or even the sympathy of a large fraction of the population. While insurgents will frequently describe themselves as "insurgents" or "guerillas", terrorists will not refer to themselves as "terrorists" but describe themselves using military or political terminology ("freedom fighters", "soldiers", "activists"). Terrorism relies on public impact, and is therefore conscious of the advantage of avoiding the negative connotations of the term "terrorists" in identifying themselves. Terrorism does not attempt to challenge government forces directly, but acts to change perceptions as to the effectiveness or legitimacy of the government itself. This is done by ensuring the widest possible knowledge of the acts of terrorist violence among the target audience. Rarely will terrorists attempt to "control" terrain, as it ties them to identifiable locations and reduces their mobility and security. Terrorists as a rule avoid direct confrontations with government forces. A guerilla force may have something to gain from a clash with a government combat force, such as proving that they can effectively challenge the military effectiveness of the government.

Title: Yum Woon Sen Recipe - ThaiTable.com Headings: Yum Woon Sen Recipe Tips and Techniques Cooking Noodles Prepping Dressing Tossing Tasting Author: Natty Netsuwan Content: The noodles are white when uncooked and dried. When they are cooked/soaked in hot water, they turn clear. Regular celery is a good substitute for Chinese celery. Slice the them thin and use the leaves, too. The home-grown celery tastes comparable to Chinese celery. Soak the sliced onion in the salad dressing to tone down the heat in onion. If you like the salad mild, cut the chili peppers big, easier to pick out. I tried using raw garlic, it doesn't give the complex flavor like fried garlic. Here is the link on how to make easy fried garlic . Red onion is a great substitute for brown onion and it doesn't impact the flavor negatively.

Title: How Much does a Meter Taxi Cost in Bangkok? – Thai Travel News & Events 2020 Headings: How Much does a Meter Taxi Cost in Bangkok? How Much does a Meter Taxi Cost in Bangkok? Content: They use the same word for us for meter but they emphasise the second syllable = “mee-DTER”. As well as the 35 Baht starting fee and the price per kilometre, you also have to pay for waiting time, which in Bangkok means stuck in traffic. So, if you are going less than 6 km/hour, the fee is 1.5 Baht per minute. If you catch the taxi at the airport then there is a 50 Baht surcharge which you have to add to the amount on the meter. Don’t forget, you also have to pay the tollway fees. If your driver was pleasant and didn’t hassle you with the meter, then please do round up the amount on the meter. These rates haven’t changed for many years and they really do need the extra money.

Title: The Fifth Commandment - Honour Your Father And Mother Headings: The purpose and meaning of the Fifth Commandment The purpose and meaning of the Fifth Commandment Content: This loving combination is the missing link in child rearing. Helping children establish their identity Children need constant encouragement and frequent acknowledgment of their successes and achievements. Above all, they need plenty of love and praise to help them develop a strong personal identity that reflects a positive and hopeful outlook toward life. Keep in mind that children do not all respond to different types of praise in the same way. Some can better develop a positive outlook when praise focuses on them and on their abilities and areas of competence rather than on individual achievements. Praise focused heavily on accomplishments only such as grades in school may engender an unhealthy sense of insecurity. Some may perceive that they are acceptable only if they perform exceptionally and that they are loved only when their efforts are perfect. This type of praise may have the opposite effect from what was intended. As parents, we should rejoice with our children in their achievements. We should share their successes.

The Pamela Shulman Professor in European and Holocaust Studies at the University of New Hampshire, he has looked at the way planning shaped the rebuilding of post-conflict societies. He is the author or editor of eight books, including In the Wake of War: The Reconstruction of German Cities after World War II, The Rebuilding of Europe’s Bombed Cities, Rebuilding Urban Japan after 1945, and Transnationalism and the German City. His work on Germany examines how the country managed an extremely rapid urban regeneration in a decentralised manner. Different cities approached the problems in various ways, often depending on how their planning departments functioned before the war. In the longer-term, one issue has become clear. Those cities that used the historic street plans and maintained traditional urban density have become more attractive places that those that opened up urban space in a modernist way.

Professor Diefendorf is currently looking at whether cities that are destroyed in civil wars recover in different ways to those damaged by inter-state conflict. What was the impact on planning on reconstruction in Germany? People who own properties wanted to restore them straightaway after they had been damaged. During the bombing people were restoring businesses and homes immediately. But planners often wanted to change things.

Content: He wanted to see cities modernised with wide streets for automobiles and the construction of skyscrapers. So in many cities you had planners – not just in Berlin but in Hamburg and elsewhere – that were starting to think about these things before the war. When the bombing started they were thinking that it provided them with a way to implement modernisation plans in an easier way. That was not the way it worked out. Cities after the war said they needed planners to help them recover but they didn’t want planners who were in favour of Nazi ideas. They didn’t want planners from other cities telling them to transform their cities. Another issue that makes Germany different from say Japan or the Soviet Union is that they didn’t have a national government in Germany until late 1948/1949 . So you didn’t have a situation where you had a national capital telling cities how to rebuild. That was the case in Japan and the Soviet Union. Often the attitude was that the national government would determine how reconstruction was done.

Content: Contractors who had been building roads in occupied areas returned from those places and started doing rubble clearance after the war. In many cases, towns took them up on this as they had the heavy equipment and the skills. But, in many cases there were objections to Nazi-linked companies coming in and doing clearance. In many badly damaged cities such as Berlin and Hamburg, people collected bricks and stones to be reused but they lacked the skilled labour to rebuild. In East Germany they mostly said it was pointless trying to rebuild with old materials and therefore moved to modern materials like pre-cast concrete. The lack of skilled workers really shaped the reconstruction process. The Bauhaus (the modernist design school in Dessau, closed under the Nazis) was also very influential in calling for the use of new materials. The issue of labour shortages is a potential problem in Aleppo—will they be able to find enough skilled workers to repair buildings or will they have to say that something has been too damaged and will have to be forgotten about? How was Berlin rebuilt after the war? Berlin is physically a very large city and there were people who after the war just said let’s continue to modernise.

In West Berlin they restored the bombed city hall and other symbolic buildings and they also tried to maintain some neighbourhoods like Charlottenberg. In East Berlin there were fewer opportunities to do that. There was much more of a tendency to modernise there. In recent years there has been a controversy about the old Berlin City Palace (the winter residence of the Prussian kings), which the East Germans demolished.

Title: Diego Rivera Paintings, Bio, Ideas | TheArtStory Headings: Diego Rivera Diego Rivera Mexican Painter and Muralist Diego Rivera Summary of Diego Rivera Accomplishments Biography of Diego Rivera Important Art by Diego Rivera View of Toledo (1912) Zapatista Landscape - The Guerrilla (1915) Motherhood - Angelina and the Child (1916) Influences and Connections Useful Resources on Diego Rivera Share Do more Content: the relationship of nature, industry, and technology; and the history and fate of Mexico. More than half a century after his death, Rivera is still among the most revered figures in Mexico, celebrated for both his role in the country's artistic renaissance and re-invigoration of the mural genre as well as for his outsized persona. Accomplishments Rivera made the painting of murals his primary method, appreciating the large scale and public accessibility—the opposite of what he regarded as the elitist character of paintings in galleries and museums. Rivera used the walls of universities and other public buildings throughout Mexico and the United States as his canvas, creating an extraordinary body of work that revived interest in the mural as an art form and helped reinvent the concept of public art in the U.S. by paving the way for the Federal Art Program of the 1930s. Mexican culture and history constituted the major themes and influence on Rivera's art. Rivera, who amassed an enormous collection of pre-Columbian artifacts, created panoramic portrayals of Mexican history and daily life, from its Mayan beginnings up to the Mexican Revolution and post-Revolutionary present, in a style largely indebted to pre-Columbian culture. A lifelong Marxist who belonged to the Mexican Communist Party and had important ties to the Soviet Union, Rivera is an exemplar of the socially committed artist. His art expressed his outspoken commitment to left-wing political causes, depicting such subjects as the Mexican peasantry, American workers, and revolutionary figures like Emiliano Zapata and Lenin. At times, his outspoken, uncompromising leftist politics collided with the wishes of wealthy patrons and aroused significant controversy that emanated inside and outside the art world.

THE GREAT RECESSION THE ROAD TO $16 TRILLION Content: People hated it. After all, the country had just fought a war inspired in part by a revolt against the taxation imposed by the British. But the federal government stuck to its guns, literally suppressing an armed anti-tax uprising in western Pennsylvania in 1794, known as the Whiskey Rebellion. Meanwhile, the economy grew, helping to shrink debt-to-GDP. Later on, Hamilton's arch-nemesis, Thomas Jefferson, was even more focused on paying off the debt as fast as possible, driving US debt-to-GDP below 10%. All this work was undone, when the US had to borrow heavily to finance the war of 1812. CIVIL WAR The next major surge in debt coincided with the US Civil War. The federal government was nearly debt-free before the war. The public debt surged from about $65 million in 1860 to $2.76 billion in 1866 . (The Lincoln administration also signed into law the first income tax in the country's history in 1862, which was repealed 10 years later.)

But a surge of late-19th-century economic growth, with a bit of inflation, helped the US gradually reduce the the Civil War debt as a percentage of economic output. IN THE TRENCHES Again, from a GDP perspective, the US was virtually debt-free before sending the doughboys to France. In 1916, as a share of the economy the debt accounted for just 2.7% . The surge in debt associated with World War I was financed largely by selling bonds to the US public. (

( By the time the US entered the war, pretty much all the other major powers were already in it up to their necks, and thus, didn't have any money to lend.) In the aftermath of the war, the Uncle Sam hit a new record high debt-to-GDP of about 33%, with more than $25 billion in debts, or about $334 billion in today's dollars. But with a combination of budget surpluses, expenditures aimed explicitly at paying off debt early, and payments from the losers of war, the US made significant progress in whittling the debt down. It fell by more than $9 billion by 1930, a reduction of more than a third. This period coincided with a period of Republican dominance in the US, in which taxes were cut repeatedly from high wartime levels.

Still the debt shrank in significance as the US economy grew. It would take the debt-to-GDP ratio until 1962 just to get back to where the US was before the war. And with some fits and starts the debt load declined until hitting its recent low in 1974 at 24%, when the debt outstanding held by the public was $343.7 billion ($1.61 trillion, in current dollars.) REAGONOMICS Debt-to-GDP began another upswing in the early 1980s, when the US fell into a particularly nasty recession, set off by the Federal Reserve under Paul Volcker, who raised interest rates to record heights in order to defeat inflation. Government receipts flattened thanks in part to the large, permanent tax cuts that served as one of the top accomplishments of President Ronald Reagan's first term. Spending jumped on both defense and social programs. Deficits exploded, breaking with the US tradition of only running large deficits during wartime. Debt-to-GDP began to climb and it hit a postwar peak of more than 49% in the early 1990s. In 1995, the publicly held debt outstanding was about $3.6 trillion (or $5.47 trillion , in today's money).

THE GREAT RECESSION THE ROAD TO $16 TRILLION Content: After that, a surge of economic growth, and increased revenues--thanks in part to the 1990 tax increases that cost the first President George Bush re-election and tax increases pushed through by the Clinton administration --helped bend the trajectory of the debt load back into line. W. The debt-load continued to look increasingly manageable throughout the late 1990s, and it hit its recent low of less than 33% of GDP in 2001. At that point, things looked so good on the debt front, that some were projecting the US would be within striking distance of eliminating the entire debt within a decade. It didn't work out that way. A recession, combined with tax cuts in 2001 and 2003 championed by President George W. Bush, severely crimped revenue. At the same time, spending surged both on military outlays after Sept. 11 and on domestic programs such as an expensive prescription-drug benefit for senior citizens. As a result. US borrowing shot higher to finance the Bush Administration's efforts to stabilize the banking system as the economy teetered on the brink in 2008. Total government debt available to be traded publicly rose from $3.41 trillion in December 2000 to $5.80 trillion in December 2008, an increase of 70%; the debt-to-GDP ratio went up from 34.7% in 2000 to 40.5% in 2008.

Title: Headings: Content: She openly defies the Nurse and her parents. She screams at the Nurse, “Go Counselor,” and boldly resists her parents’ decision for her to marry Paris. Love has truly transformed her. Juliet is an innocent who has never even been in love until she meets Romeo. When she falls in love with Romeo, a Montague, she cannot begin to fathom the consequences of her action. She can only totally surrender to the man who worships her. On the balcony, she almost swoons before him. Later, she feels embarrassed that she has been so immodest in revealing the depths of her sentiments to Romeo. Once she is convinced of his sincerity, however, she regains control and begins to show practicality and decisiveness. Once they are pledged to each other, she instructs Romeo to make arrangements with the Friar for marrying them.

Content: All of this leads to the question: Why do so many federal agencies need bullets? While the government claims it needs the ammunition for training-- that is exactly the problem. The expansion of the federal law enforcement and regulatory apparatus should be deeply troubling for anyone who believes in limited government and federalism. America has too many national authorities employing their own armed officers to police a vast and growing array of federal statutes. And in the process, these Feds trample on the police powers left to the states under the Constitution. The growth of the federal law enforcement bureaucracy has jumped dramatically over the last 20 years. There are now 73 federal agencies that have armed officers, often called “special agents.” And all of these agencies now cordon off and enforce a federal fiefdom of the more than 4,500 criminal laws at the federal level and thousands of additional regulations that have sprung up in recent decades. The result is a panoply of specialized, niche enforcement organizations that will be tasked to balance the rights of U.S. citizens with a need to justify their budgets.

There is a lot of overlapping and duplicative effort with these federal agencies. With approximately 800,000 local and state police officers in the United States, the burden of enforcing laws that cover wildlife, agriculture, or other localized issues should fall on those closest—and therefore most accountable—to the people they police. As we head into the thick of the 2012 election, a majority of the American people claim to wanted a smaller federal government. Nowhere is the power and reach of the state more acutely felt than in law enforcement. But unless Americans begin to push back against this avalanche of federal police and regulators, the number of people receiving a paycheck to investigate and prosecute average citizens for opaque and even unknowable federal violations will grow dramatically.

Title: Totem Pole | The Canadian Encyclopedia Headings: Totem Pole Totem Pole What’s a Totem Pole? History of Totem Poles in Canada Totem Pole Designs and Meanings Types of Totem Poles Totem Pole Carvers Significance Indigenous Peoples Collection Further Reading Content: Totem Pole Designs and Meanings Different First Nations have their own methods of designing and carving totem poles. The Haida, for example, are known to carve creatures with bold eyes, whereas the Kwakwaka’wakw poles typically have narrow eyes. The Coast Salish tend to carve representations of people on their house posts, whereas the Tsimshian and Nuxalk tend to carve supernatural beings on their poles. In general, however, poles are skilfully carved of red cedar and are usually painted black, red, blue, blue-green and sometimes white and yellow. While paint was not used much in the past as part of the design, it is commonly used today. Poles vary in size, but house front poles can be over one metre in width at the base, reaching heights of over 20 m and generally facing the shores of rivers or the ocean. Animal images on totem poles depict creatures from family crests. These crests are considered the property of specific family lineages and reflect the history of that lineage. Animals commonly represented on the crests include the beaver, bear, wolf, shark, killer whale, raven, eagle, frog and mosquito. The crest animals represent kinship, group membership and identity, while the rest of the pole may represent a family’s history.

You would think that would give them a leg up in terms of product development, but the outdoor grill industry doesn’t quite work that way. Man’s been grilling outdoors for a few hundred thousand years, but innovation has been somewhat slow. Of course others have tried to push the envelope, but that hasn’t tempted the folks at Ducane. Instead, they’ve done a good job refining the “middle ground” — the no-frills grill that offers a decent set of features and isn’t too expensive. And there’s nothing wrong with that at all. Their current flagship offering is the Affinity series, which comes in two flavors. Those two could probably best be described as “mid-sized” and “over-sized”, since there’s nothing else that really differentiates them. The 4100 is roughly $100 more than the 3100, and it’s probably worth it if you have the room for it. There’s nothing like having a little extra space available when you’re trying to finish cooking one item while keeping another one warm.

( Congrats Lauren!) Yes, you can make a toga using a bed sheet or curtains, if they aren’t too thick. It needs to be a fabric that is lightweight like sheets, and will drape nicely. Start with a twin sheet to see how it fits, but it depends on your size and height. You may need to experiment with the sheet size for the best results. Fold it in half if necessary.

Content: Their work with clients may present many personal challenges, but also an on-going opportunity to assess personal strengths, feelings, thoughts and limitations, as they relate to other people. Understandably a counsellor may also experience a sense of personal familiarity, whilst counselling clients, but must remain emotionally detached at all times. Relating to clients, in a positive, open manner, encourages the client to disclose in a comfortable, confidential environment and provides the counsellor with the ideal setting in which to communicate in a supportive way. Using their own life experiences, a counsellor can demonstrate empathy, compassion and understanding without becoming personally involved in the counselling process. Becoming More Self-Aware Self-awareness is something that grows over a period of time and with exploration. Techniques, to access information about oneself, can be learned, and personal experiences can affect personal thoughts and feelings. A counsellor will experience all of these issues and concerns, and must use the knowledge gained to help their clients overcome their own personal issues. Throughout a counsellor’s training he/she will be exposed to a series of opportunities that will allow them to question their own beliefs, awareness and values, and how these impact on their personal lives, work and others. It is this self-awareness and self-knowledge that forms the foundation of their counselling career. A person’s growth and understanding can only be assessed through self-awareness, and it is no different for those working in a therapeutic profession.

Title: The Harvard Crimson Headings: Australian Slang from A to Zed Australian Slang from A to Zed Forget everything you think you know about Australians and the way they speak. Forget the Crocodile Hunter (never seen it), Content: Most commonly used in Australia to describe politicians, generally held in contempt. Sometimes implies a leaning towards rabid conservatism, but that could just be my politics. Shout: An essential Australian custom. Generally means a “round” of alcoholic beverages that is paid for by a single member of the drinking party. If you ever find yourself in an Australian pub, you must offer to “shout” all your new-found mates a drink—it’s considered very bad form to buy a drink just for yourself. Of course, such a system of communal purchasing tends to encourage heavy drinking, but who’s complaining?

If you're a white woman who isn't poor, you're 550 percent more likely to get married by age 35 than a poor African-American woman is. According to a CDC report, 20 percent of poor white women and 33 percent of poor white men haven't married by age 35, compared to 10 percent of nonpoor white women and 25 percent of nonpoor white men. Some 55 percent of poor African-American women and 48 percent of poor African-American men haven't married by age 35, compared to 35 percent of nonpoor African-American women and 25 percent of nonpoor African-American men. The CDC report defines "not poor" as earning at least $22,000 a year, which amounts to being at least 200 percent above the official poverty threshold. Paula Goodwin, et al.

Graham Mandel Ngan / Getty Images Content: Which States Squandered Their Stimulus Money? Which States Squandered Their Stimulus Money? In 2009, the federal government gave nearly $30 billion to states for transportation projects, hoping to juice employment. Newsweek’s David A. Graham reports on how many states may have wasted that money—and why they might do it again. David A. Graham Updated Jul. 13, 2017 12:40PM ET / Published Feb. 03, 2011 5:36PM ET Mandel Ngan / Getty Images Tucked into the stimulus package signed into law two years ago was a $30 billion wallop aimed directly at jump-starting the jobs market. The funds were designated for infrastructure spending and handed over to the states. Injecting money into transportation projects, the thinking goes, is an especially potent jobs-creation tool because it not only puts construction workers and contractors to work quickly, it also lays the groundwork for future economic growth and development. Obama predicted the transportation money alone would put hundreds of thousands of workers on the job. It was a nice idea. Today the unemployment rate is hovering above 9 percent—better than it would have been without the stimulus, most experts agree, but still painfully high.

While liberals and conservatives alike blame the stimulus itself —It wasn’t big enough! It was never going to work!—the problem may have more to do with how the money was spent. It’s not enough just to inject money into infrastructure, because not all transportation funding is created equal—or at least, it doesn’t create jobs at an equal rate. As any infrastructure policy wonk can tell you, money spent on fixing up existing systems or building mass transit delivers more jobs, and faster, than building new highways.

It’s part of the reason we have a relatively low unemployment rate,” she says. Only 5.8 percent of Vermont residents are out of work, one of the nation’s lowest rates. State research shows that ARRA funding employed 11,000 people—a small number overall, but a significant one in a small state.

Graham Mandel Ngan / Getty Images Content: Minter says the maintenance was important for keeping economic growth, particularly in tourism, strong. Other states, however, took a different tack. Arkansas used 81 percent of its money for new projects and none on transit; it also has a higher unemployment rate than Vermont. And unlike other states near the bottom of the list, just 38 percent of its roads are in good condition, according to a report by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, a trade organization. The state’s approach mirrors the model the federal government uses for routine infrastructure appropriations to the states, sometimes derided as the “peanut butter” system: Spread the money across the board. Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department spokesman Glenn Bolick says the commission was to make sure the money reached workers in a variety of different industries across the state. “ Our philosophy was that was how to spread economic development opportunities,” he says. “ We were making the attempt to stimulate all the different types of contractors all across the state.”

Congress has repeatedly failed to pass a long-term, comprehensive transportation bill that could include guidance on spending. Instead, they’ve passed extensions to the now-expired SAFETEA-LU bill, and if they do so again, the old system—which gives states significant leeway—could stay in place during future spending, raising the specter of dollars inefficiently spent.

Title: Answers to Why People Become Terrorists Headings: Answers to Why People Become Terrorists Answers to Why People Become Terrorists Ticking Time Bomb Terrorism expert Bruce Hoffman unpacks what we know about how homegrown bombers get radicalized. Bruce Hoffman Mohamed Zatari/AP Content: Terrorists are generally motivated by a profound sense of (albeit, misguided) altruism; deep feelings of self-defense; and, if they are religiously observant or devout, an abiding, even unswerving, commitment to their faith and the conviction that their violence is not only theologically justified, but divinely commanded. All terrorists fundamentally see themselves as altruists: incontestably believing that they are serving a “good” cause designed to achieve a greater good for a wider constituency—whether real or imagined—which the terrorist and his organization or cell purport to represent. Indeed, it is precisely this sense of self-righteous commitment and self-sacrifice that that draws people into terrorist groups. It all helps them justify the violence they commit. It gives them collective meaning. It gives them cumulative power. The terrorist virtually always sees himself as a reluctant warrior:

Title: America's Allies Are Funding ISIS Headings: America's Allies Are Funding ISIS America's Allies Are Funding ISIS Double Dealing Josh Rogin AP Content: But in the years they were getting started, a key component of ISIS’s support came from wealthy individuals in the Arab Gulf States of Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia. Sometimes the support came with the tacit nod of approval from those regimes; often, it took advantage of poor money laundering protections in those states, according to officials, experts, and leaders of the Syrian opposition, which is fighting ISIS as well as the regime. “Everybody knows the money is going through Kuwait and that it’s coming from the Arab Gulf,” said Andrew Tabler, senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. “ Kuwait’s banking system and its money changers have long been a huge problem because they are a major conduit for money to extremist groups in Syria and now Iraq.” Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been publicly accusing Saudi Arabia and Qatar of funding ISIS for months. Several reports have detailed how private Gulf funding to various Syrian rebel groups has splintered the Syrian opposition and paved the wa y for the rise of groups like ISIS and others. Gulf donors support ISIS, the Syrian branch of al Qaeda called the al Nusrah Front, and other Islamic groups fighting on the ground in Syria because they feel an obligation to protect Sunnis suffering under the atrocities of the Assad regime. Many of these backers don’t trust or like the American backed moderate opposition, which the West has refused to provide significant arms to. Under significant U.S. pressure, the Arab Gulf governments have belatedly been cracking down on funding to Sunni extremist groups, but Gulf regimes are also under domestic pressure to fight in what many Sunnis see as an unavoidable Shiite-Sunni regional war that is only getting worse by the day.

Emily Shire Updated Jul. 12, 2017 6:02PM ET / Published Jul. 24, 2014 5:45AM ET The Daily Beast It’s never a dull week for feminists, and now Women Against Feminism is the most recent ire du jour. The Tumblr photo collection of women holding signs explaining why they “don’t need feminism” is more annoying than frightening. We’ve got bigger fish to fry, like securing equal pay and ensuring women across the world can attend school without being kidnapped. But Women Against Feminism is certainly getting plenty of attention. The Tumblr started in the summer of 2013. The Facebook group, which was created in January 2014, has 12,000 likes, suggesting it appeals to a not insignificant group of people. Women Against Feminism is easy—too easy—to lambaste. Many of the reasons these women claim for not needing feminism are embarrassingly bad.

For example, one woman posted “I don’t need ‘feminism’ because I believe that men and women are EQUAL, not that women should belittle men.” Those posts hurt a bit more because they reveal how deeply misinterpreted feminism is. I reached out to Women Against Feminism to learn about the origins of their campaign. Below is the email response I received: Hi, thank you but we respectfully decline.

I could have argued with “Mel” six ways to Sunday about why she was wrong about both the feminist movement and our publication, but I realized there wasn’t a point. She was too turned off by the media and by a self-declared feminist to even talk about her organization. The response showed a weakness in the Women Against Feminism leadership, and it confirmed my suspicions that the movement was more gimmicky than substantive. But I don’t want to jump on the Women Against Feminism pile-on because that’s what drove women to it in the first. There is no question that Women Against Feminism is utterly and completely misguided in its understanding of what feminism is. But they aren’t only the ones.

Unabashed feminist author Catlin Moran lampooned women who did not identify as feminists in her book, How To Be a Woman. But in her criticism, she stressed that women who don’t identify as feminists don’t realize what feminism implies, nor all that feminism has secured for them: What do you think feminism IS, ladies? What part of ‘liberation for women’ is not for you?
