This Movie is a part of aa large-scale, multi-media LE performance by LE ensemble Cyberbass (directed by the author) that took place in Lismore, New South Wales, in 2008 and was also live-streamed. The performance was built around a series of seven linked improvisations by a four-member LE band, and combined musical performance with audio-visual material recorded on previous LE tours by the author. The overall performance has a narrative structure built around the views of representatives of the Australian LE community. Videotaped interviews were edited by the author and then triggered and processed live by video artist Cicada (Kirsten Bradley). The interview audio was processed by a Max/MSP patch by one of the performers and replayed in surround sound. In this way the LE performance was integrated with interview ‘mashups’.
This article examines links between contexts and creative practices amongst a group of contemporary Australian musicians working within the field of ‘live electronica’. For the purposes of this article, ‘live electronica’ (henceforth LE) is defined as electronic dance music (henceforth EDM) performed for an audience in real time by a group of musicians, without the aid of machine/computer-controlled sound generation sequences on drum machines, samplers or loop machines. Defined this way, LE stands in contrast with other forms of performed EDM that incorporate pre-composed or sequenced music triggered by a computer-interfaced performer.
Australian LE emerged in the 1990s and went through a period of development and consolidation during the first decade of the twentieth century. This article sees Australian LE musicians as inhabiting a musical ‘subculture’ (Hebdige 1979) and ‘scene’ (Straw 1991) – in which musical practices interact and cross-fertilise. Huq’s (2006) description of a ‘neo-tribe’ as a loosely-affiliated group formed as a “a response or solution to prevailing times” (28) can also be applied to Australian LE musicians. Illustrating what Brown, Eldridge and McCormack (2009: 11) describe as ‘the changing roles of composition, performer and instrument in contemporary creative practice,’ this article examines evolutionary processes and transformative factors that have impacted on the creative practices of Australian LE musicians. Within this discussion, digital music technology and changing economic, cultural and social contexts are seen to impact strongly on the emergence of new musical processes and forms.
On a broad scale, Australian LE musicians, interacting on tour and via the internet with other global musicians, have taken part in a transformative cultural process that Toynbee (2003: 110) describes as ‘code shaping’. Toynbee’s discussion implies that certain genres (such as music concrete, minimalism, and electronica) generate innovative creative processes that challenge existing musical conventions. LE is one recent sub-genre in which significant musical code-shaping has taken place – using creative processes that have been as yet little documented. Although in recent years the currency of the generic LE term has begun to recede – as live ensemble elements within EDM become more common-place, and as music classification terminologies (web tags) become more and more specific within the digital download environment – the LE movement of the past two decades can be seen to have played an historically-important role in ‘humanising’ EDM.
The article presents a participant-observer documentation and analysis of Australian LE practices, drawing on the experiences of one of the authors as an LE performer in Australia and overseas, as well as on a range of unstructured interviews with LE musicians conducted when opportunities arose (often while the author was on tour). The author’s position as a member of the LE community frames this article as a perspective from within the community. The article discusses the specific musical skills, techniques and creative processes employed by LE musicians to produce live, largely improvised music performances influenced by EDM – an area previously dominated by DJs/music producers using pre-composed or sequenced material. Endorsing the idea that music ‘emerges out of the enabling framework of society’ (Butler (2006: 15) – that the creation of musical works involves not only the intentions of auteurs, but also the dynamics of a surrounding community and wider culture – the discussion also examines a range of contexts associated with the music-making process. The overall aim of the article is to provide insight into creative practices among a group of Australian musicians whose original music-making represents an innovative response to technological, social, and economic changes that have altered the contexts of their creative lives.
Performances of EDM that feature musicians playing along to a sequencer and/or drum machine are sometimes described as LE – but these ‘hybrid’ performances involve both live and non-live elements.

GFWC is made up of 50 state federations, to which local clubs belong. By joining a local women’s club, clubwomen become members of their state federation, which conveys membership in GFWC.
The California Federation of Women's Clubs is a member of the General Federation of Women's Clubs International, chartered in 1901 by the UnitedStates Congress. GFWC organized in 1890 with 61 charter clubs, is the world's largest and oldest women's volunteer organization with over 100,000 members in 3,000 clubs across the United States, with hundreds of members in countries around the world.
Reflecting the GFWC motto, Unity in Diversity, there is considerable diversity in age, interest and experience of members.
GFWC and its members raised nearly $64 million on behalf of more than 300,000 projects, and volunteered more than 10 million hours. | 2019-04-26T01:47:27Z | https://www.sangabrielvalleydistrict.org/gfwc |
This salad is quite versatile with the base. You can use mixed greens, kale, arugula or spinach as seen here. Dark leafy greens are a great replacement to lettuce, being that they are more nutrient dense. Dark leafy greens are important for skin, hair, and bone health. They’re loaded with nutrients and low in calories. I threw in dried cranberries and pomegranates for a touch of added sweetness against the crisp spinach and smooth, earthy garbanzo beans. Feel free to add lean proteins to this dish to create a meal that is more hearty rather than a side dish.
Combine spinach, garbanzo beans, cucumbers, tomatoes, dried cranberries, pomegranate seeds, and scallions in a bowl.
Combine tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, honey and whisk together well.
Add za’taar and salt to taste. Mix well. | 2019-04-18T13:29:48Z | https://alaaspantry.com/2017/05/16/pomegranate-garbanzo-bean-salad/ |

As yogis, we are students. Not just students of the asanas but also students of the mind, of the body, of the spirit, of the Universe.
— James Allen, "As You Think"
We are students of ourselves. We explore what our external bodies are capable of. As we advance, we explore the darkest corners of our souls — the stuff we’ve buried to survive or to conform. Because we believed vulnerability was weakness and anger and sadness were its ugly step sisters.
Great students don’t need any more than their will, their mind, and a great teacher. But a nice classroom sure doesn’t hurt.
You deserve space. We all deserve to have a sacred space that is only ours — where we can retreat to go within as we study the depths of our soul.
I’m fortunate at this time in my life to have an entire room. There’s no furniture except my zafu and yoga props. When I step in that room all the weight from the outside world seems to wash away and I am able to focus on my studies.
I realize it’s a privilege to have this room. Someday I will sacrifice this space for a wee one but I will still reserve space. You don’t have to have an entire room.
It could be a nook in your attic.
A corner in your office or bedroom where you can set up an altar.
A special area in your garden that’s just for you.
So let’s talk about this space you’re creating. It’s yours, and the rules are yours to make. However, here are some “rules” that I keep when it comes to my space for inspiration.
You could fill it with candles, flowers, crosses, Buddhas or photos. You could fill it with nothing, making it a crisp and clean space to help you declutter your mind. Make it look, feel, sound and smell “right" to you. Consider your intention for the space and design around that. But also trust your intuition. If a little puppy figurine is really speaking to you, put it in your space. It doesn’t have to make sense to others to make sense to you.
Space has as much power as you give it. I hold a high respect for my space. This is a spiritual place. Whether you practice meditation or prayer or both, you are filling your space with alllllll the good vibes. Honor that power. Which leads me to the next “rule."
My house isn’t always clean. (Gasp!) But I keep my sacred space — the “yoga room” — clean. Because if it’s not clean, it’s distracting and can be stressful instead of spiritual.
Again, your space is as powerful as you make it. If you don’t use it, it loses its power. It’s like an empty church. An empty church might be beautiful, but if it’s not being used for congregation, worship and prayer, it’s just a beautiful empty building.
Do you have a sacred space? If so, I’d love to see it and share with others for inspiration. Please send it to me on Facebook or by email. | 2019-04-20T08:56:18Z | http://yogamamabear.com/downward-facing-blog/creating-your-own-sacred-space |
1. The old Hug Point beach road: In addition to its natural beauty, Hug Point features a primitive man-made roadway. According to a 1975 issue of The Ore Bin, “In the late 1800's, a stagecoach road was blasted out of the sea cliff to make passage along the beach possible during high tide.” (State of Oregon, Department of Geology & Mineral Industries) Prior to the road, travelers by car or wagon would have to wait until low tide to “hug” around the point when heading south toward Arch Cape. In the winter, Look carefully and you’ll find the old steps that were carved into the basalt and sandstone so travelers could reach the ledge from which they’d walk to access the southern part of the beach. You’ll also see the deep ruts cut by wagon wheels into the primitive roadbed.
2. Parking: Hug Point can get busy — really busy — during the summer months. Finding a parking spot can be tricky as the main parking lot (which is on a steep incline) fills up by late morning and cars begin to park along Highway 101 (which is precarious at best and perilous at worst). Plan on arriving early to ensure you get a close-in, safe parking spot and a nice spot on the beach.
3. Waterfall: As pictured above, Fall Creek empties out onto the beach at Hug Point, creating a small, but lovely waterfall.
4. Head North or South: Once you’ve made your way down to the beach, take a walk north or south. Head south for two miles, and you’ll arrive at Arch Cape Creek, which runs along the base of the Arch Cape headland. At low tide, you can make your way around the cape to see the arch. Head north (toward Cannon Beach) for two miles, and check out Silver Point with its wonderful tidepools and Jockey Cap rock.
For more information about Hug Point or other scenic parks or trails near Arch Cape and Cannon Beach, feel free to call us here at The Inn at Arch Cape, (503) 436-2082. | 2019-04-19T14:58:05Z | https://www.innatarchcape.com/cannonbeach/2018/12/11/5-things-to-know-about-hug-point |
Anti-Roma legislation as well as specific legal acts directed against the non-sedentary Roma population, justifying and legalizing the previously customary aversion towards the people and their prosecution, started to be drawn up and enacted in Western Europe in the early Modern era. Adam Bartosz in his book, Nie bój się Cygana. Na dara Romestar [Do Not Fear the Gypsy], lists only a few of these. According to the scholar and expert on Roma history, the first anti-Gypsy and anti-Egyptian – as they were known at the time – laws were issued in Lucerne in 1471 and barred the Roma from presence on the territory of Switzerland. At the close of the 15th century, the Roma were forbidden to follow their itinerant life style on pain of corporeal punishment and enslavement. In turn, the early 16th century was marked by anti-Roma legislation of the Habsburg Holy Roman Emperor, Maximilian I, in the light of which the Roma captured on the imperial territory were subject to torture and extermination. In 1530, they were legally banished from England, and ten years later – from Scotland. Expulsion acts kept been issued in the 16th century, among other countries, in Denmark, Finland and France.
It is exactly this chronicle record as well as reports of aristocratic collections of severed limbs, noses and ears of the Roma captured during such battues, subsequently exhibited in cabinets of curiosities or in palace rooms alongside hunting trophies, recoverable from the sources as late as mid-19th century, which has inspired the work of Krzysztof Gil.
The Polish-Romani artist has produced a species of installation, composed of a cubical room of his design and making, and of sound. In its form, dimensions and execution technique, the cubic shed put together from accidental pieces of wood and fabric alludes to traditional, humble, temporary houses erected by the legally and socially marginalised Roma. On the other hand, repeating the paradigmatic form of a gallery white cube, it constructs a literally Chinese-box situation, whence it positions the audience. Since the cubical installation, upon entrance, turns out to a self-contained exhibition space, whose darkened interior appears to be a dialectical antithesis of the space of a gallery.
Inside the one-chamber room, Krzysztof Gil installed a panoramic painting. The cylindrical panorama consists of a majestic and monumental, white-crayon drawing on black background, representing a scene of game display. The image, which follows the representational convention for hunting trophies, is composed of likenesses of genteel women and men, clothed in modern hunters’ and their female companions’ apparel. All images used by the artist have been appropriated from painting of the old masters. In the surrounding darkness, the light rhythmically reveals characters, whose prototypes become identifiable as members of the surgeons’ guild depicted by Rembrandt, for example, or as St. Irene attending to the body of St. Sebastian from Georges de la Tour’s painting. The composition centre holds, amidst hunted game, a de-faced – as profil-perdu painted – torso of an anonymous, shut-down Roma.
Krzysztof Gil’s use of the convention of appropriation, historicising his piece, is at once a sarcastic comment, in the spirit of Reger from Thomas Bernhard’s Old Masters, on European art as a history painted in bright colours, and an accusation levelled against it. On the other hand, thanks to the sound accompanying the visible, a remote history becomes juxtaposed to the contemporary and to the artist’s private, family history.
The sound-track accompanying our viewing of his panorama is fragments of a record of a conversation Krzysztof Gil conducted with his grand-mother. She tells the story of her father – a musician and a brick-layer – murdered after WWII in the Podhale region, because he had had the audacity to make a remark about a poorly executed work to his Polish co-workers. Upon arrival on the scene of crime, the militiamen and doctors found the event to be a misadventure. The perpetrators went unpunished.
The artist’s family history, which has been combined here with an event described in a 17th-century chronicle, demonstrates that the ritual Heidenjachten are not really a closed chapter of history, and that anti-Roma violence remains a notorious occurrence. It is confirmed also by the exhibition title, which we have borrowed from a contemporary photograph found on the Internet, representing a caption on a wall of a Polish city. The paint appeared to still be wet. | 2019-04-20T06:14:29Z | http://henrykgallery.com/en/welcome-to-the-country-where-the-gypsys-been-hunted/ |
The package includes Alaska Yukon Moose and Wolf hunt.
We hunt the Alaska Yukon moose, the largest deer in the world. This is a "spot-and-stalk" hunt, with interactive calling that makes it particularly exciting. This is usually a float trip, but can also be a stationary hunt. This hunt is 1 guide per hunter and includes 1 trophy moose. Caribou may be added for $4,000 trophy fee and wolves may be hunted for no additional fee. 10 hunting days and 12 total trip days.
We hunt moose out of our western Alaska camp that is located in GMU 19. Hunters on our moose hunting trips will be flown out to camps located with our 1500 square mile hunting area to spike camps, these camps are located on ridge tops and close to prime moose country. The Alaskan Yukon moose is the largest of the moose sub-species, and our hunting are has produced many trophy moose over the years. Our moose average around 61” and have great mass and heavy wide paddles. We hunt during the pre-rut and the moose are responding to calls very well during this time. Our moose country is not the typical swampy low land that most people are accustomed to hunting, we are hunting the rolling hills and large meadows. We only take 6 moose hunters per year and have maintained a very high success rate over the years. We hunt in two different game management areas, as our camp is located right on the border. Moose season in both areas opens on September 5 th and closes in one area on the 15 th and the 20 th in the northern area.
Our Alaska moose hunting season is September 5th-15th for non-residents. We use a lot of cow calls, bull grunts and brush thrashing to bring the bulls to us. While hunting, we use jet boats to access all the back channels, swampy marshes, and also ridge-tops for glassing. When calling moose, it might take up to three days to call in a bull, but he will come to investigate the call. There is nothing like hearing those bulls call back and come thrashing the brush to your call! The bulls’ antlers in this area have an average of 60 inches, but in the last few years I’ve been taking bulls that have an antler spread of 65-70 inches. Most of the moose we harvest we call-in within 60 yards. | 2019-04-22T04:53:36Z | https://www.bookyourhunt.com/moose-hunting-in-alaska |
So Foley banks are not lending as freely these days huh? The credit crunch that seized the Alabama economy recently is gone and they are starting to lend again. But even with this lending the economy is still reeling and headed for even more dire straits. If you are one of those in Foley AL who is caught in its clutches and have debts piling up, you may want to think about Foley consolidation loans.
Who has the best Foley debt consolidation services?
Foley consolidation services offer a way of taking multiple debts and taking them all and wrapping them together into one payment. So if you have 5 different Foley loans, each with a different interest rate and length, a Foley debt consolidation loan will pay these off and then you will be left with one Foley loan with a total on the loan of all the paid off loans. The best part is that these types of Foley consolidation loans typically have lower interest rates than the ones you are getting rid of.
What is the best place in Alabama to find Foley credit consolidation lenders?
Search online for the best debt consolidation lenders in Foley AL. The reason the best place to find Foley debt consolidation lenders in Alabama is because you will be able to find the right Foley lender for you. Your local Foley banks may not specialize in the right Foley consolidation loans for you or have Alabama lending standards that are too stringent. By searching for the best Alabama debt consolidation loans online, you can assure yourself of getting the right Foley loan.
As I said above, prior to the credit crunch we had basically "easy money" whereby the Foley banks were encouraged to lend to pretty much anyone in Alabama with a pulse. As the economy tanked and their Foley debts mounted, a large portion of these people who got easy credit are now looking for Foley credit card consolidation programs. These Foley loans can be obtained but they are just like any other Foley loan. Your Alabama credit rating, your ability to repay the Foley loan, an availability of collateral to secure the loan and the current Foley bank policies on Alabama lending will determine if you get a Foley consolidation loan or not.
Where Is The Best Foley Loan Consolidation Service?
As I discussed above, the typical Foley loan consolidation service usually has a lower interest rate than the standard Alabama loan that is putting you in the poor house. Be aware that just because you are in trouble with your Foley monthly payments, does not mean that you will automatically get Foley loan consolidation.
Where Can I find The Best Foley Debt Consolidation Help?
I spoke of collateral before and this is a big aspect of why Foley debt consolidation lenders may give you Foley loan consolidation. Unsecured Foley loans are the riskiest loans to give by a Alabama lender. This is because if the Foley loan is defaulted on, the bank cannot get the money back. By requiring collateral to provide security on a loan (as some Foley banks do for Foley debt consolidation loans) the bank reduces their risk for the loan. A secured Foley loan allows the lender to offer the loan to you and then to offer the Foley loan at a reduced interest rate. Be careful to make sure you pay off the Foley credit card consolidation loan on time. If you were required to put up collateral and you default, the Foley bank will take that collateral as a way to recoup their loss.
At MyCDC.org, we offer the highest quality Foley credit card consolidation programs that are available online throughout the USA. Mycdc offers this online by providing you with a custom Foley credit card consolidation plan that will help you to consolidate your unsecured debts, and also fit your budget, while helping you to reach your goal of Financial FREEDOM!
Foley Consolidation Loans -- Our online credit card consolidation service will consolidate debt without the need of a loan. Your custom Foley credit card consolidation program will consolidate your debts by negotiating with creditors to get YOU a lower repayment amount without the RISK of any type of high interest Alabama debt consolidation loans!
Foley Customer Service -- MyCDC.org is committed to using the highest level of Customer Service in the credit card consolidation industry. Once enrolled in a credit card consolidation program, a trained, personal debt counselor will be assigned to your account. Your debt counselor will review your debts and financial situation and develop a custom credit card consolidation solution based on YOUR personal Foley debt situation and needs. | 2019-04-20T10:54:29Z | http://mycdc.org/Alabama-Best-Debt-Consolidation-Companies-in-Foley-AL.html |

Today was a sad day in Eagles land, with the surprise death of Andy Reid's oldest son Garrett. Obviously all of our thoughts are with the Reid family as they deal with this tragedy.
There's no particularly good way to transition from that to general site changes. To be brief: things are new around here. Let me know what you think about the cleaner design and if you encounter any bugs or other problems. At the very least, hopefully the server issues will be over for the foreseeable future.

Today’s contest reveals an interesting lesson.
But before I reveal the winner (and the lesson), I need you to pick the ad that you think was clicked more often. If you were searching for a way to conduct online background checks, which ad would you click?
The winning ad is ad number two. It was written by “cartmetrix,” and it improved CTR by 69%.
1. The winning ad switches up the title text by using DKI and using the alternate text “Instant Background Checks.” The word “instant” implies speed, which is an important buying criterium for anybody doing an online background check. Contrast this with the original title text, which says “Online Background Check.” The word “Online” does not imply speed, so “Instant” is the better word here.
2. The body copy in the losing ad starts with the price: $29. This is a huge “speed bump.” I expect it stops many searchers from reading any further. Now, listing the price is not necessarily a problem. But placing it first in the body copy is premature because searchers don’t yet know what they’re getting for $29. Furthermore, the price is followed by a comma and then the number 3. This makes the price harder to read, and may be confusing to non-American audiences where commas are used in place of periods in prices.
3. The winning ad leads with the offer: “3 Years of Unlimited Checks – $29″. This sounds like a bargain. Any person who is hiring a lot of employees or needing to do a lot of background checks is going to find this appealing.
4. The losing ad, on the other hand, lists the price first (not a good idea), then promises “3 Years Unlimited Searches.” The word “Searches” is far too vague. I don’t know if a “search” is equivalent to a “background check.” I’m reminded of the ads that promise a free credit report — but then charge extra for the credit score. The wording in the losing ad feels the same way. Am I going to get unlimited searches (which are basically worthless), or unlimited background checks? The losing ad doesn’t say.
6. Rather than address a problem that hasn’t happened yet, the winning ad gets into the mind of the searcher by saying, “Find out Who’s Hiding a Past Today!” This phrasing is masterful because it kills two birds with one stone: 1) It gets into the mind of the searcher, and 2) gives a clear call to action at the same time. What’s more, it generates instant curiosity. If you have a person you’ve just interviewed, you might even be thinking about what THAT person may be hiding. Hard to resist.

A Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #5 Review – Where Is Walter Jones?
PENCILLERS: Thony Silas, Corin Howell. Cover by Jamal Campbell.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers #5 tells us that before Tommy became Rita Repulsa’s evil Green Ranger, she made a play for Zack, the Black Ranger. After being “upstaged” by Jason during a fight, Goldar and the putties abduct Zack so Rita can make her pitch. Obviously, Zack doesn’t accept. But how do the events of this issue impact Zack’s relationship to the team? And what happens when Zack tells Zordon?
Rita tempting one of the Rangers toward the dark side is such a simple, classic tale. It’s perfect for this series. I’m not sure I wouldn’t have gone with Billy instead of Zack, especially considering the scene we saw in issue #2. He was comparing himself to the others, and he seemed to become self conscious and bitter. If Rita could have seen that, she might have exploited it. On the other hand, we’ve seen some curious behavior from Zack in this series. He’s been very suspicious and apprehensive about Tommy. This issue seems to explain why. This experience gives him a negative connection to the Green Ranger that we never knew about.
The Zack we’ve seen in this series isn’t the one I expected. On the show, Walter Jones played a fun-loving dancer. Zack is in love with life, and he’s not afraid to show it. That’s not the character we’ve seen in this series. For the most part he’s been very straight faced. I understand he’s in a very tense storyline. But flashes of personality aren’t going to hurt anything, are they?
In essence, what we need in this book is a little more Walter Jones.
Fussy Fanboy Moment: After Zack is abducted, he wakes up in Rita’s Dark Dimension, which we saw in the show. But in one of the “Green Candle” episodes, which these events obviously predate, Jason says he and Tommy are the only Rangers that have been there.
On the plus side, Higgins sneaks in what seems to be a hint at Zack going to the Peace Conference later in the series. He tells Zordon, “I need to do more … I don’t care about leading. It’s not like that.” I like that second line. It speaks to why Rita’s plan for Zack doesn’t work. He’s imperfect like anyone else, but in the end he’s selfless. It’s more about the good that’s being done, as opposed to the glory you get from it.
The opening sequence, set in Italy, is a lot of fun. The Rangers face Rita’s monstrous take on The Vitruvian Man, who can apparently only speak in da Vinci quotes. Afterward, they receive some fanfare on the ground. We even have the prime minister in the middle of the action. This is yet another example of Higgins doing something that never could have happened on the show.
Thony Silas tags in on pencils for this issue. His style isn’t dramatically different from Hendry Prasetya’s, though his characters are slightly better at emoting. His Rita is particularly sinister. Again, his Zack seems very reserved and stoic, which is not the character we’re used to.
“The Ongoing Adventures of Bulk & Skull” still doesn’t do much for me. Though we do get a surprise in this issue: The BOOM! Studios debut of Lieutenant Stone, Bulk & Skull’s foil from seasons 3 and 4. I’d always been under the impression they’d never met before. Either way, I’m glad to see the putty patroller story is over. On to (hopefully) better things.
Higgins pleasantly surprised me with this Zack story, by following up on a plot seed he’d planted as far back as issue #1. It makes you wonder what else he might come back to in future issues. Whether it’s how Billy sees his role on the team, Jason feeling threatened by Tommy, or something else fans may have wondered about. There’s so much fertile ground to cover, and I’m hopeful that we’ve only scratched the surface.

Take on the cyclocross scene and so much more with Ritchey’s venerable Swiss Cross Disc. With the same details that dominated the 'cross circuit and spurred envious glances at every start line, this timeless frameset is sure to supplant its progenitor in the annals of history. The classic details so coveted by pros and amateurs alike are all present: custom triple-butted steel, Ritchey dropouts, and the spot-on geometry that dials the ride to the perfect shade of refined stability and speed. To maximize those fine details, a lightweight head tube features Ritchey's integrated headset to shave weight and improve the steering response of the matching WCS carbon fork. With lots of room for shouldering and huge tire clearance, it's ready for the sloppiest race or ride. Yet it also has two bottle cage mounts in case you want to ride this piece of history every day. And, all-weather capable disc brakes provide sure-fire control and stopping power no matter what the conditions.
The F30x features all of the same unique technologies that go into Felt’s carbon ‘cross bikes, but in a lightweight and durable FLite aluminum frame. It’s one of the most well-equipped race bikes on the ’cross scene thanks to internal routing and tubeless-ready wheels, making it a top contender no matter what conditions the racecourse serves up. Built with a Shimano 105 drivetrain, Schwalbe X-One racing tires, and 3T cockpit and seatpost, the F30x punches well above its class and is primed to match your effort with a potential podium finish.
With Felt's versatile F24X, kids can start cyclocross riding earlier than ever! It provides the same cool design and attention to detail found on full-size Felts. The 39cm frame with 24-inch wheels is sized just right and features short crankarms, shallow-reach handlebars, and a kid-specific seat to perfectly fit burgeoning 'crossers. The F24X boasts Felt's light aluminum frame and fork for lively handling and low weight. And, it's equipped with short-reach Microshift shifters, mini linear-pull brakes, and bar-top levers for excellent ergonomics, smooth shifting, and powerful braking.
Felt’s premier UHC Ultimate + TeXtreme carbon fiber creates a remarkably light frameset and fork with impressive durability and stiffness qualities. The newly redesigned frame is loaded with cutting-edge features: BB386, shoulder-friendly top tube design, 15mm thru axle dropouts and sealed, internal cable routing. The ultimate cyclocross racing machine, the Fx FRD delivers the state-of-the-art features for racing up the stairs to victory.
Santa Cruz might be late to the carbon road bike party, but with its rich history in carbon fiber frame design, you know the Stigmata has to be good. Think of it as the 'cross bike for mountain bikers. Or the light, responsive, and fast gravel bike you reach for when you're not sure where you'll end up. The Stigmata Carbon CC CX1 features Santa Cruz' top-tier carbon frame and a build that's ready for hot laps between the tape. It's fitted with a DT Swiss wheelset wrapped in WTB Cross Boss tires, SRAM's Force CX1 11-speed drivetrain and hydraulic disc brakes, and an Easton cockpit topped with a WTB Silverado Road saddle. With clearance for a muddy 41mm tire, the Stigmata grants you access to the best of what's out there. How far you go is up to you.

Mud, sand, snow, dirt, and rocks. That's cyclocross. The toughest racecourses demand the best equipment, and the F3x delivers. Featuring a frame engineered from innovative UHC Advanced + TeXtreme carbon fiber for a lightweight, ultra-stiff chassis, the F3x is built with SRAM build that offers great performance no matter what the conditions are like on race day. Hydraulic disc brakes provide incredible stopping power in both wet and dry conditions, making the F3x a top choice for even the most technical circuits.
The F30x features all of the same unique technologies that go into Felt’s carbon cyclocross bikes, but in a lightweight and durable aluminum frame. It’s one of the most well-equipped race bikes on the ’cross scene thanks to internal routing and tubeless-ready wheels, making it a top contender no matter what conditions the racecourse serves up. Built with a Shimano 105 drivetrain and Schwalbe X-One racing tires, the F30x punches well above its class and is primed to match your effort with a potential podium finish.
The F5x breaks the mold when it comes to performance and perception. The most value-laden carbon model in the Fx Series, the F5x features a UHC Advanced + TeXtreme carbon frame and fork, making for a stiff and efficient pedaling platform that also reduces the rough hits and chatter found on the roughest cyclocross race courses. Built with a Shimano 105 drivetrain for smooth shifting and dependability, the F5x also comes with tubeless-ready wheels and Schwalbe X-One tires to help reduce flats and allow you to dial in your preferred tire pressure for the muddiest and wettest conditions.
Racing, gravel-grinding, commuting or wicked-weather training, the Fuji Cross covers them all. And with an all-new frame, it does it at almost a quarter-pound lighter than last year while enhancing overall stiffness. Crafted from Fuji’s choice A6-SL custom-butted alloy, the Cross frame achieves its performance-enhancing low weight of 1370-grams by adding a PF30 bottom bracket, shaving material where it’s not needed and shaping tube sections. The flattened top tube not only makes for more comfortable shouldering but also stiffens the frame. Increasing the Cross’ rigidity are fore-and-aft 12mm thru axles. Riders running a variety of wheelsets need not worry, as the Cross features a convertible axle system enabling an easy switch to traditional QR dropouts. Not only does the full-carbon FC-440 fork integrate a 12mm thru-axle, it has hidden fender eyelets and internal cable routing. Continuing with the “clean” theme, riders using 1x drivetrains will appreciate the stealthy convertible cable stops on the downtube.
Constructed of ultra high-modulus C10 carbon with an excellent strength-to-weight ratio, the Altamira CX 1.1 is here to give you a lightweight, fast ride over muddy courses, soft sandpits, and tricky barriers. The flat top tube shape allows for easy shouldering, while an oversize downtube and chainstays increase torsional stiffness for superior pedaling efficiency. Its Press-Fit bottom bracket increases frame stiffness, reduces drivetrain flex, and maximizes power transfer. Fuji’s FC-330 full-carbon fork features a tapered steerer and 12mm thru-axle for increased rigidity and greater steering precision. Oval Concepts 935 carbon tubular wheels defy inertia, yet hold up to CX abuse, wrapped in Vittoria Terreno Mix that supply outstanding traction and buttery-smooth efficiency. SRAM’s Force 1 drivetrain efficiently turns your sweat into podium-bound speed, while flat-mount Force hydraulic disc brakes stop on command in any conditions. Carbon bars, seatpost, and saddle rails from Oval Concepts round out the top-tier spec on this no-compromise cyclocross machine.
The F40x is race-ready for any cyclocross course, but it can also double down as a capable bike for any road ride, daily commute or adventure ride. Its rugged FLite custom-butted aluminum frame is paired with a carbon fiber fork to mitigate bumps and front-end vibrations, while its oversized bottom bracket makes for a stiff and ultra-efficient pedaling platform. The F40x also features a Shimano Tiagra drivetrain, Shimano hydraulic disc brakes, and tubeless-ready wheels, so it’s ready to jump the barriers, seek out undiscovered roads or tackle the urban commute.

Operation Safe Canyons - Homeowners Issue?
Last week I published a note about the California Highway Patrol cracking down on speeding motorcycles under an initiative called, "Operation Safe Canyons".
So I ended up talking to a CHP officer tonight.. (no, he didn't pull me over).
He told me that operation safe canyon is spreading to other regions other than Malibu Canyon and the surrounding areas.
I thought I'd share what I heard.
The Las Virgenes Homeowners Federation had taken a special interest in the issue just prior to the April implementation of the operation. In an April update, the federation addressed the canyon operation and expressed its strong support. An aggressive stance against canyon carvers is alluded to in language that is evocative of a general's battle plan: "We had a very productive meeting where we discussed various "plans of attack" in place for both Calabasas and LA County.
The CHP contend that Operation Safe Canyons is about safety, pointing out that approximately 8 people per year are killed on the canyon roads.
Of course, 8 road deaths per year is not that much. And considering the CHP is using vehicle-confiscation as a tool to regain control, instead of just issuing warnings and tickets, it appears safety is not really their concern, caving into the fat-cats who're paying off the local politicians. | 2019-04-25T10:35:05Z | http://www.bikernewsonline.com/2007/08/operation-safe-canyons-homeowners-issue.htm |

LAWRENCE, Mass. ― Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren officially announced her presidential bid near the banks of the Merrimack River here on Saturday, picking a highly symbolic location that points to both long, worker-centric political tradition Warren seeks to inherit and the challenge she might face in winning over an increasingly diverse Democratic party.
“This is the fight of our lives. The fight to build an America where dreams are possible, an America that works for everyone. I am in that fight all the way,” Warren said at the Everett Mills, where a group of Polish women walked off the job in January 1912, setting off the famous Bread and Roses Strike, when tens of thousands of immigrant workers united to shut down the city’s textile mills for the winter, winning substantial raises and safer work conditions.
Elizabeth Warren is done exploring. She's running for president.
Warren’s official entry into the race to win the Democratic nod to challenge President Donald Trump in 2020 has been expected since she announced the formation of an exploratory committee in late December. She joins a field that already includes three of her fellow Democratic senators ― New Jersey’s Cory Booker, California’s Kamala Harris and New York’s Kirsten Gillibrand ― and could soon include Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Vice President Joe Biden, along with a host of other candidates.
She launched her campaign with an introduction from Rep. Joe Kennedy III, winning the blessing of the highest-profile member of the first family of Democratic politics, and with the backing of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee and fellow Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Ed Markey.
There’s a practical reason to announce in Lawrence ― it’s a quick, 10-minute drive to New Hampshire, which hosts the first-in-the-nation primary ― but the symbolic reasons to choose the former mill town 40 minutes north of Boston instead of a more prominent locale are stronger. The Bread and Roses Strike, which was led in large part by women, immigrants and immigrant women, is a rich historical text for Warren to invoke during a speech announcing her bid. It allows Warren to connect to a landmark moment in labor history, and it also links her directly to one of just a handful of majority-minority cities in her home state, giving her a chance to show her appeal to the voters who may ultimately decide the 2020 Democratic presidential primary.
The Bread and Roses strike began in response to a pay cut of 32 cents a week. The roughly 30,000 people who worked in the mills were crowded into tenement houses, having arrived in Lawrence from more than 50 different nations. Seven of eight people who worked in the mills were either immigrants or the children of immigrants. At the city’s dominant employer ― the American Woolen Company ― half of the employees were women between the ages of 14 and 18. While doctors in Lawrence had a life expectancy of 65, more than one-third of mill workers died before age 25.
The strike quickly led to clashes with local police, and a state militia was called in. The Industrial Workers of the World organized the strikers, and soon news of the strike was dominating the nation’s newspapers. Wealthy suffragettes, believing their struggle for the right to vote was linked to that of the strikers, began supporting them financially. To draw additional attention to the cause, the mothers of Lawrence sent their children by train to New York City, a so-called “Children’s Exodus.” The sight of the malnourished children drew more sympathy to the strikers’ cause. In late February, as a second group of children prepared to leave for Philadelphia, police began clubbing them and their parents. The violence drew further condemnation, and soon both the U.S. House and Senate began investigating the conditions in Lawrence.
In March, owners agreed to a 15 percent raise for the mill workers, to give double pay for overtime and to improve safety conditions in the mills. The eventual agreement ending the strike was read aloud in Arabic, Polish, Armenian and a slew of other languages, reflecting the diversity of the strikers.
Journalist Bruce Watson, in his book on the strike, “Bread and Roses: Mills, Migrants, and the Struggle for the American Dream,” wrote that in 1912, “the great rudder of a stable society, the middle class, had not yet been invented.” But within months of the end of the strike, Warren noted, Massachusetts became the first state in the country with a minimum wage, part of a newly empowered labor movement that would soon win a 40-hour work week and the elimination of child labor.
Instead of the polyglot immigrant community that existed in 1912, Lawrence today is dominated by immigrants from the Dominican Republic and emigres from Puerto Rico. The city, which is nearly three-quarters Latino in a state that is roughly three-quarters white, has struggled. A 2014 story in Boston Magazine labeled it “The City of the Damned,” documenting a state takeover of the city’s failing public schools, a high crime rate and the corruption investigations plaguing its then-mayor, William Lantigua.
It has also become a favorite target of Republican attacks. In a 2018 speech in New Hampshire, Trump blamed Lawrence and Boston by name for the deadly opioid epidemic ravaging New England. Chris Sununu, New Hampshire’s Republican governor, has used similar rhetoric. Most famously, former Maine Gov. Paul LePage blamed his state’s problems with fentanyl on black and Latino people from Lawrence and nearby Lowell.
Matias said things are improving in the city, with better schools and less crime under new mayor Daniel Rivera, who spoke before Warren. A small number of biotech and other firms have moved into the massive mill buildings along the river, but the city remains one of the poorest in the state.
Lawrence’s large Latino population ― Trump signaled it out because of its status as sanctuary city where local police don’t cooperate with federal immigration officials ― also provides Warren with an opportunity to show her appeal to voters of color. Massachusetts’ limited number of black and Latino voters means Warren still needs to show she can appeal to voters outside her core base of white progressives.
After making her way onstage to Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” Warren ticked off a host of policy priorities ― from making it easier to join a union to outlawing gerrymandering to criminal justice reform, but repeatedly returned to her core message of rebuilding the middle class, which she emphasized could appeal to voters across the socioeconomic spectrum.
After the speech, Warren is set to travel to New Hampshire and then Iowa this weekend, and she has trips to South Carolina, Georgia, Nevada and California planned for the coming weeks.
Republicans responded to Warren’s campaign launch by focusing on the controversy over the senator’s claims to Native American ancestry, which gained new steam this week after The Washington Post reported she identified as Native American on a form filed with the Texas State Bar.
“Elizabeth Warren has already been exposed as a fraud by the Native Americans she impersonated and disrespected to advance her professional career, and the people of Massachusetts she deceived to get elected,” said Brad Parscale, Trump’s campaign manager.
But there is no evidence Warren’s ancestry claims helped her advance her career, and little evidence it will significantly hamper her in the Democratic primary. National and state-level polls place her in the middle of a crowded field. Most have the best-known candidates, Biden and Sanders, leading the field.
This story has been updated with more details from Warren’s announcement. | 2019-04-21T08:28:58Z | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/elizabeth-warren-is-officially-running-for-president_n_5c5deceae4b0eec79b2350f6 |
It was this trend that proved to be most in demand at the fashion shows of the end of spring. At the demonstrations of fashion houses Lacoste and Chanel, it was possible to observe new trends. They consist in the fact that the police woman fancy dress hat is simply sewn from the same material as the clothes. For example, a linen dress is combined with a panama of the same color and the same fabric. This move adds elegance to the image of any lady, regardless of the style of the costume.
This year, designers remembered about the trends that a few years ago went into the background. Among them were police woman fancy dress hat, scarves of all kinds of colors and hats-pies. The latter were demonstrated in the collections of Chanel and Mother of Pearl and will surely become favorites this summer. Wide-brimmed hats stylists advised to wear slightly pulled over their eyes, as it was presented in the Giorgio Armani show.
This summer Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci have identified the second important trend of the upcoming season for police woman fancy dress hat. The essence of it in a new approach to the classics. At the recent past, you could see, for example, a classic panama-bucket made in patchwork style, or a French beret, bound from a stiff string.
The police woman fancy dress hat of different colors and styles, lavishly decorated with beads, rhinestones, colored ribbons are another trend this summer. | 2019-04-21T04:17:42Z | http://1certifiedplumber.com/police-woman-fancy-dress-hat/ |
Jane Larson, a litigator, decides to help out a friend of a friend who’s going through a divorce. Simple enough, you’d think. But Jane has no idea what she’s getting herself into and before she realises it, she’s caught up in a web of lies, deceit, drugs and murder.
This is the second book in the Jane Larson series but since I hadn’t read the first one myself, I feel confident in saying it can easily be read as a stand-alone as I never felt I had missed out on something important.
Now, when I think legal thriller, I immediately think of John Grisham. Maybe that’s a tad unfair as it raises the bar quite high. Weave a Murderous Web isn’t really up to that level, in my opinion, but it does make for an entertaining and enjoyable read. It’s fast-paced, with twists and turns and some red herrings along the way, although the ultimate twist was predictable to me.
There’s a lot going on in this story with a multitude of characters who all seem to have something to hide. It all became a little confusing at one point, trying to keep track of all the different relationships. However, Jane is a wonderful protagonist and I really liked her. She’s intelligent, witty and deliciously sarcastic. All in all, an enjoyable read.
My thanks to Kelsey at Book Publicity Services for my electronic copy of this book, which I chose to review honestly.

Talks resumed on 14 March between representatives of the Government and those of the opposition in Syria, where the United Nations envoy overseeing the discussions said a “fragile” cessation of hostilities has been holding for 18 days.
Speaking to reporters in Geneva as the conflict enters its fifth year – “a sad anniversary” – the UN Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, Staffan de Mistura, said the renewal of the intra-Syrian talks is “a moment of truth” and that the only available Plan B is a “return to war, and to an even worse war that we had so far”.
“We [the UN] are facilitating, mediating, pushing, stimulating. But the real peacemakers here are the peacemaking powers who wanted these talks, the ISSG, and the Security Council members, and hopefully the Syrian sides,” said Mr. de Mistura, referring to the acronym for the International Syrian Support Group (ISSG), of which the UN is a member along with the Arab League, the European Union and 17 countries – including the United States and Russia – which have been seeking a path forward for several months.
The focus of the new talks is on matters of governance, including a new Constitution of Syria, and the holding of elections.
The agenda for the proximity talks is “set”, Mr. de Mistura said, and based on Security Council resolution 2254 (2015) and the Geneva Communiqué.
“The rule of the game will be ‘inclusiveness’,” the UN envoy noted, adding hope that the proximity negotiations will lead to direct negotiations. | 2019-04-23T22:49:01Z | http://www.unicankara.org.tr/language/en/syria-as-conflict-enters-fifth-year-un-mediated-peace-talks-resume-in-geneva/ |

In 1895 it was transferred to the present site near Jamal Abdul Nasser Road. It started with eleven galleries, and has been gradually enlarged in later renovation stages the 25th gallery was inaugurated in 1984. It contains a very big variety of coins from different countries. The collection, which covers the period from the 3rd century BC to the 7th century AD, is a fascinating record of civilization in the process of change as religions merged and society evolved. Also the museum contains hundreds of precious antiques. Then proceed to visit the catacomb of Kom El-Shuqafa which is one of Alexandria most memorable monuments. Kom El-Shuqafa meaning “Mound of Shards” or “Potsherds.” Its actual ancient Egyptian name was Ra-Qedil.

Then, we find decorations related to ancient Egyptian themes, but with an amazing twist that makes them quite unlike anything else in the world. Then proceed to visit The Roman Amphitheatre in Alexandria. Every town in ancient Rome had an amphitheatre, which means, “double theatre”. They were grand and impressive, shaped in a half circle, open to the sky, and might have held 100.000 people. The stage had no curtain; it was just a stone platform. Imagine yourself in ancient Alexandria, in the Roman theatre on a hot afternoon. All you can smell is the Mediterranean mist. All you can see are wild beasts, driven in through the tall doorway, and the fighters coming in from all around the floor. Famous jockeys and gladiators are walking in, and then the excitement begins. Then proceed to visit the Muntazah Complex. This 115 acre complex is surrounded by great walls from the south, east and west, and with the beach on its north side. This area used to belong to the Mohamed Ali family that ruled Egypt from the mid 19th century until 1952. The construction was started in 1892 by King Abbas II, who built a large palace inside the complex called the Salamlek. In 1932, King Fuad built a larger palace and called it the Haramlik. His son, King Farouk, built a bridge to the sea to act as a water front. The rest of the 115 acres is nothing but beautiful gardens. Palm trees and gazelles cover the area. This is a wonderful spot to enjoy the beauty of Alexandria. Then drive back to your hotel & overnight in Cairo.

A causeway of 12 timber bridges from Leyton, across the Shortland Sewer towards the ferry, ford and bridge crossings at Lea Bridge.
The section crossing the Lea at Lea Bridge is referred to as 'Lockbridge', which may be a reference to some form of lock gate or weir with a timber bridge above. The eastern section of the causeway is referred to as Blackbridge�(which crossed the Shortlands Sewer west of Hemstall Green).
The upkeep and repair has been associated at different times with Lord Wentworth, lord of the manor of Hackney, Sir George Monoux (d 1544) and Lady Laxton (in 1580).
Besides constructing this causeway, Monoux built two bridges called the ‘three arches’ and the ‘eight arches’, which carried the flow of water beneath the Lea Bridge Road.
Stype provides a portrait of Monoux and his charitable works.

I am in transition right now, and there is nothing like feeling oneself in transition to also find oneself meditating on life past and future possible.
My husband and I decided—it seemed randomly—to undergo a major renovation in our house this year (literally, this month; literally, right now). It started with a seemingly innocent question: how much would it cost to reupholster our old living room couch (a vintage 60’s red leather beauty, which leather was sadly rent at every seam, gutting cotton filler)? And the answer to that question was so onerous, so preposterous!, it began a stream of discussion that ended with: we might as well renovate the whole main floor.
The timing was serendipitous—as timing always is. Our two daughters had just “moved out”: the elder to New York City for an extended internship, and the younger to Montreal for college (which also includes being away for the summer for work and extra credits). And now our house was manifesting—in the most literal way—the transformation that had already started to aggravate me, to challenge me, to terrify me… to seduce me. From now on, I would be living without the ever-present emotional, kinetic, sublime energy of my precious people.
I was devastated by the loss of their presence. And I was besotted with the idea of creating in a whole new way. A way that wouldn’t be fraught with the awareness that—at any moment—my work might be interrupted so that I could truly connect with a child’s latest development or adventure or need. For the first time, I would come first. I could.
Here is the truth: my children never, ever stopped me from being creative. When they were little, I would write at night; when they were older, I wrote when they were at school, or while they ate snacks or played with friends; when they were teens, they were home much less, exploring their own creative lives at school and on their own, and it was easy to make room for my work. I never felt like I didn’t have “the time” to write. If I lacked energy, well, writing reignited it, like any good exercise.
But my kids were always “there”. Their energy was its own glowing being—vibrant and incandescent—with or without them in the house. It illuminated and fed how I worked and what I worked on. It saturated every fibre of what was ultimately produced. It informed my writing in unexpected ways. Whether it was from their stories, their experiences, or from their emotional vibrations. There was always a symbiotic relationship. How could there not be?
And now they are gone. Maybe temporarily, I know that. But certainly gone for now. And to emphasize the point, the house they grew up in is going too. The corners (into which they put themselves when they were naughty) are gone; the floors (over which they danced and cavorted) are gone; the walls (behind which they studied or watched TV or created masterpieces) are gone; the space that captured, briefly, that bright sparkling energy is transforming. Becoming something that will only be animated (right now) by the energies of my husband, our dog, myself. And, yes, my work.
But what will become of that work? Where will it grow? How?
It’s hard to answer those questions right now because of the renovation chaos—which is way more disruptive and unnerving than my kids ever were! But on its completion, I do anticipate a period of rejuvenation. That the space where I write will once again inform what I produce (and the other way around, inevitably). And that the new symbiosis will create something I haven’t yet “met”.
It will be, I imagine, a process as unexpected, joyful, frustrating, confusing, wondrous, devastating and sublime as raising children.

Another day, another feud for Wendy Williams.
Aretha Franklin‘s estate was ripping into the talk show host for comments Williams made about the upcoming film “Amazing Grace,” which is about The Queen of Soul recording her iconic 1972 gospel album.
Franklin’s estate quickly clapped back, according to the Detroit Free Press.
“While Franklin had initially imposed an injunction on ‘Amazing Grace,’ her objections had nothing to do with its quality; negotiations were incomplete at the time of her death… Contrary to Williams’ derisive reference, there is no ‘Cousin Junebug’ making decisions for the Estate,” the statement said in part.
In addition, the film’s director, Sydney Pollock, didn’t use one camera — there were five.
Wendy also caught heat last week from Howard Stern after she said she is “of the people” while insisting the shock-jock went Hollywood. Stern unleashed a verbal assault on Wendy on his Sirius XM show on Friday morning. Listen below, the language is brutal.
After a series of guest hosts during a brief hiatus, Williams returned to her talk show on March 4 and the drama has been non-stop ever since. | 2019-04-19T02:19:04Z | https://newsone.com/3848944/aretha-franklin-wendy-williams-controversy/ |
Verbal and Non–verbal Communication: Non–verbal communication (like body language and hand gestures) considered harmless in the U.S. may be offensive to people in Nicaragua and other countries to which you plan to travel. The list of gestures considered rude in other countries can grow beyond the obvious. For more help communicating in Nicaragua, please see the Communication Sheets.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases: Keep yourself free from sexually transmitted diseases by using protection (like condoms or abstinence). Also, remember that "no" may not always be interpreted as "no" in Nicaragua and in other countries. Inform yourself about the types of diseases prevalent in the area in which you are studying and the areas in which you will be traveling.
International Sources of Information: Inform yourself as much as possible about your new environment, making use of as many different sources as possible – online, in the library, on television and radio news programs, and in the paper. Don't limit yourself to U.S. sources. Instead, contrast the U.S. information with that provided by Nicaragua and other countries.

Well, it doesn't seem like it anyway. Maybe it will happen tonight just like yesterday.
So what are you up to this weekend? I'm up to something....weeding, maybe? I have these lilies in the back of the house that I planted a couple of years ago. We were about to throw them away because they weren't thriving where we originally planted them but instead I decided to transplant them. Well now they're thriving. They hibernate during the cold months and come back in spring. Right now they're starting to have leaves. I have to weed around them before the 'gardener' [aka hubby] starts mowing them. He doesn't see them amidst all the weeds so he asked me to clean the surrounding areas so he doesn't have to mow around them. I may also pull out the weeds from around our big trees in the backyard. Again, the 'gardener' has been hinting that the weeds there are overtaking. I may just give in and weed...that is if he has to work this weekend. If not...then who knows what we'll be doing.
Ang weather masyadong unpredictable. Biglang Fall temps kami dito yesterday, I couldn't believe I needed a jacket.
Sobra ka namang busy sa pagiging assistant gardener. Dapat kasi maging chauffer ka na rin para lumarga kayo ng aking pamangkin pag Sabado.
Enjoy the weekend. hopefully hindi kayo ulanin. Take care.
Ay, envious ako sa weeding job mo! Here kasi, there's no lawn for weeds to grow, only tiny plant box for my plants. huhu..
Wish you'll have a bright sunny weekend Huling! Enjoy! | 2019-04-19T20:22:23Z | http://pinaywahm.com/2013/07/no-rain.html?showComment=1374882183288 |
The key to this parenting rule is cordiality. Parents must interact with each other in ways that demonstrate the fundamentals of acceptable social interaction. This means greeting each other nicely and exchanging pleasantries in front of the children. Both parents need to routinely act in a manner that models appropriate behavior between two adults. Remember that your children will treat you and the other parent in the same way that you treat one another. In addition, you are providing them with an example of how to approach other adults in their lives in school, athletics, work, etc. Common decency is the only acceptable principle to follow when working with or talking with the other parent. Anything less than that can be harmful to your children’s welfare and will contribute to a pattern of conflict, which will have a negative emotional impact on their future relationships with you and others in their lives.
This too is a very simple rule! Do not speak to each other in inflammatory ways. High-conflict parents often feel free to say insulting, attacking things to one another that they would never say to anyone else in their lives. They use language that is not acceptable in any other areas of their lives. They feel free to call the other parent names, use slang, use four-letter words, and heap criticism upon the other parent. These are just more attempts to spray anger and to control the other parent. Every time that a parent hurls a hurtful remark at the other parent, every time a parent refers to the other parent in a derogatory manner, and every time a parent peppers their exchange with expletives, they need to remember how much they are affecting their children’s futures. Keep your children’s faces in front of you at all times (pull out their pictures if needed) and STOP before you say things that contribute to a level of conflict that will become harder and harder to repair.
Your children’s lives continue during and beyond your divorce. Your lives as parents should therefore continue to be dictated (to a reasonable degree) by the children’s needs and schedules. Their lives should go on in as routine a way as possible. Their activities, school requirements, and peer relationships are still important to them and their development. You have to adapt to meet their needs and to participate in their lives, a concept that is hard for parents who insist on thinking about their parenting schedule as “my time with the children.” They see every party, practice, activity, and school function as an imposition. They believe that the other parent is trying to take away their time with the children, make their life complicated, and interfere with their parenting relationship. Some parents are just not used to adapting their world to work well for the children, even if that means that they may have to miss a business meeting or a social engagement. Many parents try to balance their new lives, a quest for privacy, and their need for new relationships with work, the parenting schedule, and the demands of family and friends. Children can become pawns in this process and are often used as objects through which one parent can get back at the other. Every request for a schedule change, or for help in transportation, or even for the child’s participation in a new area of interest, can become a struggle and an opportunity to get back at the other parent. High-conflict parents are often heard saying, “Do not schedule the children for activities on my time” or “If Susie goes there, then I will be missing two hours of my time.” This then provides justification for saying “No” to the other parent and ultimately to the child. Be sure that your decisions are truly based on your vision of the well-being of your children and your knowledge of them. Decisions should not be made out of your desire to seize control, to make life difficult for the other parent, or to hurt them with an unnecessary power play. You only hurt the children and your relationship with them.
High-conflict parents and their children need their parenting schedule—it provides glue and structure, and it helps keep the conflict in check. Aside from this, parents have lives too. They need a plan around which they can go forward with work, their social life, and new relationships. Keeping to the schedule also helps to build trust by reinforcing both parents’ commitment to the process and their respect for each other. Nevertheless, the most important reason to keep to the schedule is the consistency it provides the children. They expect you to be there for them and may not have developed the capacity for adapting to schedule changes. This is especially true for toddlers and preschoolers. In addition, schedule changes often are inconvenient and can make life difficult for the other parent. Keep them to a minimum. At times, adjustments are necessary, but the schedule should never be considered as an outline or proposal. It is an agreement. You wouldn’t keep changing the schedule on your business partner. As in business, reliability and constancy make for success in co-parenting.
On the one hand, you as parents may strive for consistency in raising the children in two different homes, but you also have to realize that this goal is somewhat elusive. High-conflict parents often have a serious degree of difference in parenting style. They blame, criticize, and accuse each other of not caring for the children properly, corrupting the children, or not providing a safe environment for the children. Many times this is just a reflection of two diametrically opposed parenting approaches. Remember, you divorced (or were never married) for a reason. Sometimes you just have to agree to differ on particular points, to allow you to focus on bringing about a greater level of uniformity in other areas. Relatively easy areas to agree on are daily care, scheduling, and homework. The harder areas to agree on are discipline and peer relationships. Children learn to adapt to these differences and may even learn a valuable lesson by being exposed to different viewpoints. Or they may use these differences to manipulate you both as co-parents. Be aware of what’s going on in the other home but don’t try to parent the children over each other’s doorstep. No one has cornered the market on parenting, and believe it or not, you can learn from each other. Sometimes a method that works in one household can replace a tired and ineffective practice used by the other parent. Save your questions for your parenting call and never make evaluative statements about the other parent’s approach in front of the children.
This is a rule that we discussed in much detail earlier. Never expose the children to your conflicts. High-conflict parents engage in hostile interactions, not the usual form of healthy disagreement. They rarely demonstrate the capacity to have a simple discussion in front of the children. Your conflicts upset the children and put them in an untenable situation, so save your feelings for protected times when the children are not privy to your tension. Remember, they need to heal from the effects of the divorce and the marital struggles, and they need a chance to recover without being constantly reminded of your continued animosity. Act like adults and protect your children. Without this protection they may experience anxiety and depressive symptoms, which may require professional intervention.
This rule seemed so crucial that we gave it a place of its own. Your life is important, but remember, so are those of the other parent and the children. It is not appropriate to be more than fifteen minutes late in most other areas of your life, so have the same level of respect for your co-parent and the children. Give each other reasonable leeway, but make every effort to be there when you say you will. In fact, we often recommend that high-conflict parents be five minutes early. Your children are counting on you to pick them up or drop them off. They should never be “left on the doorstep.” The other parent may need to leave for work, a meeting, or some other activity, and you need to be there at the agreed upon times and places. Again, teach your children the importance of timeliness and dependability by your own actions.
When high-conflict parents are having difficulty communicating, they often rely on the children to convey information to the other parent. Parents are then placing the children in the role that should really be reserved for the other parent. They tend to discuss schedule changes and other issues directly with the children before they check it out with the other parent. Of course, the children are therefore privy to knowing the possible plans first and may be disappointed if the changes are not made. They can blame the parent who cannot or is not willing to accommodate the change. On the other hand, if the change is not something that the child wants, he/she has a chance to react before the other parent even has a chance at bat. Scheduling issues, vacations, and changes to the parenting plan must be discussed by the parents first. The decisions should be formalized before you present the information to the children. Older children (ages ten and over) may be involved in some discussions to give input where the parents deem appropriate. Remember that the child’s opinion is just input and not the final word. You, as parents, get that privilege—like it or not!
This is probably one of the most important parental rules. Children do not appreciate it if you insist on degrading the other parent by making unkind and critical remarks. They need and want to believe that both of their parents are doing the best that they can do to parent them. During a divorce, children are often less confident in their own judgment and also in their parents’ ability to care for them successfully. When you undermine the other parent, you take away the little confidence the child has and instead you ask them to join in a vendetta against the other parent. This and other behaviors can form the beginnings of what is called parent alienation syndrome. In high-conflict parent situations, parents break this rule constantly by taking most any opportunity to demean the other parent. This ranges from making snide personal remarks to citing specific behaviors of the other parent to which they object.
Your children are not pawns in a high-stakes chess game. Children of high-conflict parents are frequently victims of loyalty conflicts. They are caught up in the process of trying to say or do what they think will please one parent vs. the other. They go back and forth between both homes communicating information, comments, and offhand remarks—whatever they believe will win that parent’s support. This only puts the children in a position where they cannot be believed by anyone. Yet, high-conflict parents want to believe their children and often do. They quote the children, believing the comments to be true, and then they leap into the conflict arena. The children must not be the conveyors of parental information. Do not ask them what goes on in the other home in order to secure information. Rather than immediately believing that what they say is true, check it out with the other parent first. Children who are placed in loyalty conflicts are more prone to emotional difficulties. They can’t even rely on themselves to know or tell the truth. Their parents may reinforce this manipulative behavior for their own interests and satisfaction.
Are you willing to sacrifice your children to support leftover anger at the other parent?
Co-parenting always presupposes this rule. Postdivorce, this is your child’s best shot at a successful resolution. Unless one of you is clearly unfit, surgical removal of a parent is not in the best interests of your child. Co-parenting is even more complicated than parenting in general. The lives of your children are complicated logistically and emotionally. They need you both and you need you both. Together, you can preserve the children’s need to feel secure and loved by both parents and not force them to choose between you. This is what you expected for them when they were born, and this is what they deserve—even though you are no longer married.
You created these children together and you will be their parents together for the duration. The end of the marriage did not end your parenting relationship together. In high-conflict cases, it may feel preferable at times to parent singly. You may believe you can make your own decisions, lead your own life, not answer to anyone else, and seek no other consultation. You feel you are on your own with the children. When the hostility level gets high, this starts to sound awfully good. Nevertheless, you cannot make this choice unilaterally. The other parent is your parenting business partner, like it or not. Develop a good working relationship and get the business of parenting done well. Throughout the children’s lives there will be times when you must come together: recitals, graduation, illnesses, marriages, grandchildren, etc. Be sure you are there together for all of the events and issues in their lives. As the adults in this situation, you must approach each other with the same business acumen that you would when working with your most challenging colleague.
The above parenting rules are not optional. They are necessities. High-conflict parents have great difficulty following these rules and often try to bend them to meet their own needs, because they expect flexibility from others but have problems being flexible themselves. They truly possess creative genius when it comes to rule interpretation. In one case cited by an attorney, the parents were told by the attorney for the minor children not to pass messages to each other through the older son. They agreed. The next week they didn’t send messages to each other through their oldest son, but instead sent them through the middle son! In a high-conflict parenting situation, you shouldn’t take anything for granted. You must make sure that the definitions, even basic “common sense” definitions, are clearly understood by both of you. Many high-conflict parents say that they agree with the above rules and are ready to sign on the dotted line, but in truth they are only giving lip service to the issues. After all, how can they express disagreement with these rules? They are straightforward and clearly in the best interests of the children. Yet overt agreement coupled with covert disagreement can be disastrous.
These rules can help you achieve collaboration and allow you to effectively master the business of co-parenting after divorce. Remember that it is easy to focus on the other parent’s behavior and forget to evaluate your own honestly. Be careful and self-critical. Do not always blame the upset or misunderstanding on the other guy. You are in control of your own choices, words, and actions. Seize that control and use it wisely.

Anthony Trasacco (Cheshire, Conn.) scored five goals and teammate Zach D'Angelo (Chelmsford, Mass.) add four more as Dean College raced past Thomas College, 16-1, in non-league men's lacrosse action on Friday afternoon.
Trasacco wasted little time getting the Bulldog offense off and running by scoring his first of the afternoon a little more than one minute into the contest.
Less than a minute later Trasacco setup Juniel Jordan (Kingston, Mass.) for his third tally of the season and Dean was quickly in front, 2-0.
Louis Piccolo (Foxboro, Mass.) pushed the Bulldog advantage to 3-0 and when Brody Fredericks (Weare, N.H.) got in on the act, scoring back-to-back goals, Dean was in total control.
Trasacco then recorded three straight scores as the Bulldogs ended the quarter in front 8-0.
Westley Reel (Lakeville, Conn.), D'Angelo and Trasacco all recorded goals in the second quarter and Dean went into halftime ahead, 11-0.
Piccolo and D'Angelo provided the only scoring in the third period and then Christian Billingsley (Saugus, Mass.) and D'Angelo found the back of the net in the fourth before Daniel MacWhinnie scored the first Thomas goal of the season with a little less than six minutes to go in the game.
Dean held a commanding 56-10 edge in shots on the game and had a 41-17 advantage in groundballs.
Joe White (South Easton, Mass.) starred on the defensive end for the Bulldogs, collecting five groundballs and forcing four turnovers.
Fredericks finished with two goals and an assist, while Piccolo provided two tallies and one assist.
Dean returns to action on Monday when they play host to UMass-Dartmouth at 3:30 PM. | 2019-04-26T04:05:16Z | http://deanbulldogs.com/sports/mlax/2018-19/releases/20190308sftc7w |

I was joking with Luke over a phone conversation last week on how I wanted to lose an additional 4kg just so that I could fit comfortably in my current OTR wedding gown. “Go and do it sweetie, I’m supportive”, he replied seriously which got me a little worried about the over-promising part I did when he started keeping ’em tidbits away from me whenever we watch a DVD, enjoying the bag of chips on his own and constantly reminding me of my exercise routine almost everyday : “are you going for yoga tonight? how was yoga last night? when are we going to jog?”, to the extend of keeping tabs on the frequency of my exercise routine a week.
He did emphasize that he would love me no less if I didn’t achieve the targeted weight loss, and wanted me to do it only if it made me feel more confident and a happier woman on the wedding day. While that was reassuring, I was bent on at least toning up the arms and upper back (esp. with those figure hugging numbers I’ll be wearing on the big day) even if it meant that my current weight stuck with me till June. Toning up was my priority, and catching up on beauty sleep was the next. I was given feedback that my face was getting a little too sharp for some to be concerned, and mum kept saying “you don’t want to get lost in the gown, wear the gown, don’t let it wear you! Be a woman, not a hanger!” And she would continue nagging these same few words. Bff has also nagged how haggard I’ve been looking recently (its work la!)…so I am considering taking time off, catch up on sleep and drink plenty of water (thanks to my dear irritant’s reminder & testimonial on a daily basis) and retain what’s left of my sanity.
I have been eating as per normal (I can’t live without my carbo and eggs), and doing my best to cut down on tea-time snacks. I make an effort to brisk walk to and from the MRT station, and check on my posture from time to time. Its not been easy, and I’ve never been a successful story in losing even a kg after it plummets. Instead, it stagnate for a long while unless I eat or starve excessively, more likely the former before plummeting again due to some form of stress which is strong enough to keep me away from food. Its been a challenge, a lover of comfort food – to the extend I’m willing to cut back on dishes at mealtimes just so I can indulge in char kway teows, curry, bbq chicken wings, beer etc. I’m advocate moderate indulgence over the extreme keep-away which I’ve tried previously and proved to be the most unsuccessful weight loss program, because they’re right when they say the weight creeps back twice as much only to have more difficulty losing the excess.
So, to motivate myself one step further, I’ll blog about my weight loss / shape up program and monitor the progress every 2 weeks. I pen it down in my diary to start this program in Feb 2008, but its never too late they say, even with 2 months away to the big day. Friends, I would also need your help to remind me to stay-off the desserts and sweets at least for now too!
Meanwhile, I’ve been drinking 3 x more cups of water than my usual! Yahoo! Can’t wait to see results in the skin. | 2019-04-19T17:10:41Z | http://so.natty.sg/2008/04/03/f-a-t/ |

If I wanted to pay to be lied to, I’d get an abortion, not watch an “award-winning newscast” to “set the facts straight”. Yesterday, the state-broadcaster, otherwise known as the CBC, made John Wilkes Booth look like an amateur by assassinating the truth in their false reporting on one of the most disgusting stories to face Canada since the Pickton trials.
In October 2012, blogger Patricia Maloney uncovered the horrifying fact that recent Statistics Canada reports show that from 2000- 2009, 491 children were born alive after botched abortions and left to die, resulting in numerous homicides under the Criminal Code. After learning of this infanticide, MPs Maurice Vellacott (Saskatoon-Wanuskwein), Leon Benoit (Vegreville-Wainwright), and Wladyslaw Lizon (Mississauga East-Cooksville) sent a letter to RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson asking him to launch a federal investigation in connection with these deaths. Seems pretty straight-forward right? Well, that is unless you are a government-funded news program, or a pro-abortion Member of Parliament. Or the Prime Minister.
During yesterday’s episode of the evening “news”, Bobbsey twins Gloria Macarenko and Hannah Thibedeau reported the compelling story of how three tory MPs sent a letter to the RCMP asking them to investigate abortions committed after 20 weeks as “possible homicides”. What a laugh riot! Or so Macarena appears to think so, smirking and smiling whilst relaying this false piece of propaganda. She then turns it over to Tornado, who waves the “infamous” letter around like it was the World War II ultimatum saying the letter “says we want you to investigate abortions that take place after 20 weeks because they want them classified as homicides… they say it breaches the Criminal Code and want it thoroughly investigated”. To “validate” this report, a screen shot is then shown of the letter, which says, “these incidents appear to be homicides. Therefore a thorough police investigation is required, and I am formally requesting you to pursue that.” They don’t call Thibedeau the “Context Butcherer” for nothing. The letter was asking the RCMP to investigate the deaths of 491 babies who were born alive and left to die not, as Nancy Drew puts it, to investigate abortions after 20 weeks as possible homicides.
Just when you thought we only had to contend with the Canadian version of the National Enquirer spoon-feeding us fresh and zesty homemade cow pies, a video is then shown of proceedings that day in the House of Commons whereby MP Megan Leslie stands up asking the Prime Minister to make it clear that he and his government understand that abortion is not murder, after claiming that three Conservative MPs are trying to get the RCMP to investigate abortions as homicide. Loud applause ensues. Harper then rises, presses “play” on his magical phonograph that cues up his broken record, saying, “this government has made it clear that the government does not intend to change the law in this regard”.
So there you have it folks- one false report has the whole government in a tizzy, while illegal infanticide remains ignored. Well-played CBC. If Canadians find out that infanticide is happening in this country, then abortion will be criminalized and women will got to jail! This “little white lie” had to be done to save the humanity of womyn across the country, right? Right?
I have to say that the only program I ever enjoyed watching on CBC was when they aired their autobiography. Click here to watch the full episode entitled, "The Truth About Liars".
Bravo Alissa! Good job! So glad the truth is coming out and BRAVO to these 3 amazing, brave MP's!!
I hold the abortion doctors most accountable since they are biased and do abortions on demand for profit and making millions of dollars from decapitating, poisoning, and dismembering innocent children.
Many women are pressured or coerced into abortions and not given all of the facts and information on fetal development and risk on what an abortion really is, and does.
WE are collecting testimonies from women hurt by legal abortion...it hurt us and killed our children...now we are a voice for them, who have no voice. | 2019-04-21T12:59:30Z | https://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/youth-blog/id/59/title/the-truth-about-liars |
This article presents the Two Variable Per Inequality abstract domain (TVPI domain for short). This so-called weakly-relational domain is able to express systems of linear inequalities where each inequality has at most two variables. The domain represents a sweet-point in the performance-cost tradeoff between the faster Octagon domain and the more expressive domain of general convex polyhedra. In particular, we detail techniques to closely approximate integral TVPI systems, thereby finessing the problem of excessively growing coefficients, yielding -- to our knowledge -- the only relational domain that combines linear relations with arbitrary coefficients and strongly polynomial performance.

Zagreb Croatia, the capital of Croatia is situated on the slopes of Medvednica Mountain (Zagrebacka Gora) and along the banks of the Sava river. Zagreb has a population of 706,770 inhabitants and is located 170 km from the Adriatic Sea, 122 m above sea level. The average summer temperature is about 20° C and the average winter temperature about 1° C.
The favourable geographic position in the south-western part of the Pannonian Basin which extends to the Alpine, Dinaric, Adriatic and Pannonic regions, provides the best valuation of traffic connection between Central Europe and the Adriatic Sea.
The city core comprises the mediaeval parts of the town called Gradec (Gric) and Kaptol. The construction of the railway embankment (1860) enabled the old suburbs, which did not represent an urban whole up to then, to merge gradually into Donji Grad, characterized by a regular block pattern. Between the two World Wars working-class quarters emerged between the railway and the Sava, and residential quarters on the hills of the southern slopes of Medvednica. The blocks between the railway and the Sava were built after the Second World War, and from the mid-1950s new residential areas south of the Sava river, the so-called Novi Zagreb (New Zagreb). The cargo railway hub and the international airport Pleso were built south of the Sava.
The biggest industrial zone (Zitnjak) in the south-east represents an extension of the industrial zones on the western and eastern outskirts of the city, between the Sava and the Prigorje region. Urbanized lines of settlements connect Zagreb with the centres in its surroundings: Sesvete, Zapresic, Samobor, Dugo Selo and Velika Gorica. The traffic position, concentration of industry (metal-processing, electrical appliances, textiles, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, printing and leather industries, wood processing, paper etc.), scientific and research institutions and industrial tradition underlie its leading economic position.
Zagreb seats central state administrative bodies (legislative, judiciary, executive, monetary, defence, health care, cultural, educational, traffic, etc.). There are three main traffic communications: the western, towards Ljubljana, i.e. West Europe; the eastern, towards South-eastern Europe and the Near East; the south-western, towards Rijeka, Croatia's biggest port. The railway running along the Sutla river and the Zagorje main road (Zagreb - Maribor - Vienna), as well as traffic connections with the Pannonian region and Hungary (the Zagorje railroad, the roads and railway to Varazdin and Koprivnica) are linked with the trunk routes. The railway connection with Bosnia and Herzegovina, along the Una valley to Split, is currently out of use due to the war damage.
The Main Railway Station is located in the centre of the City (at Kralj Tomislav Square 12, a ten minutes walk from the central city square). Information on arrivals and departures can be obtained by dialing 060-333-444. Information on arrivals and departures can also be obtained at the travel agency "Croatia Express", tel.: 4573-253.
Zagreb is a substantial tourist centre, not only in terms of transit from West and Central Europe to the Adriatic Sea but also as a tourist destination. Since the end of the war it has attracted a fair number of tourists, but many tourists that visit Croatia skip Zagreb in favour of the beaches along the Adriatic coast and the even older historic cities such as Dubrovnik, Sibenik, Zadar and others.
Nevertheless, Zagreb celebrated its 900th birthday in 1994 and it is not only rich in cultural and historical monuments, museums and galleries, but it also has a variety of modern shops, and offers good quality of diversified restaurants as well as sports and recreation facilities. It is a big centre of congress tourism, economic and business events and trade fairs not only in Croatia but also in this part of Europe. Being an important junction point, it has road, air, railway and bus connections with European metropolises and all bigger cities and tourist resorts in Croatia.
The historical part of the town, the Upper Town and Kaptol, are a unique urban core even in European terms, and thus represent the target of sightseeing tours. The old town's streets and squares can be reached on foot, starting from Ban Josip Jela 269 263; Square, the central part and the heart of Zagreb, or by a funicular on nearby Tomićeva Street. The old core of the town includes many famous buildings, churches, museums and institutions as well as pleasant restaurants and coffee bars.
The Archaeological Museum (Nikola ¦ubić Zrinski Square 19) possesses over 400,000 objects, not all of them being exhibited. The holdings include evidence of Croatian presence in this area as well as rare samples which have made the museum known to the whole world. The most famous are the Egyptian collection, the Zagreb mummy and bandages with the oldest Etruscan inscription in the world (Liber Linteus Zagrabiensis), as well as the numismatic collection. A part of the museum is set aside for the collection of stone monuments dating back predominantly to the Roman period.
The Croatian Museum of Natural Sciences (Demetrova Street 1) holds the world's most extensive collection of the remains of Neandertal man found at one site -- the remains, stone weapons and tools of prehistoric Krapina man. The Technical Museum (Savska Street 18) maintains the oldest preserved machine in this area, dating from 1830 which still operates. Valuable historical collections are found in the Croatian Historical Museum, the Museum of the City of Zagreb, the Museum of Arts and Crafts, the Ethnographic Museum, the Croatian School Museum, the Croatian Hunting Museum, the Croatian Sports Museum, the Croatian Post and Telecommunications Museum, the HAZU (Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts) Glyptotheque (collection of monuments), and the HAZU Graphics Cabinet.
Many visitors find the Mimara Museum (Roosevelt Square 5), housing the donation by Wiltrud and Ante Topić Mimara, very attractive.

Dear Clifford Hart and Caroline Wilson, I am addressing this open letter to you in your respective capacities as US and British consuls general to Hong Kong.
The efforts of some Western countries to enforce their own anti-bribery laws in China are more likely to produce false accusations and hinder democratic reform than reduce corruption.
Recent headlines in the South China Morning Post are eloquent testimony that the Hong Kong government is failing in its role to provide a social safety net and protect the rights of its residents: "New town will leave 1,000 old people without homes"; "Indonesian maid 'left in diaper, tied to a chair';" "Ethnic minority pupils 'being set up to fail'." | 2019-04-26T14:02:46Z | https://www.scmp.com/author/robert-precht |
RSA took a net £40m charge in the first quarter of 2017 related to the cut in the Ogden discount rate to -0.75%, the insurer said in a trading update this morning.
The gross Ogden charge was £85m, but this was offset by the release of £45m of reserves that RSA had built up in 2016 in preparation for a change to the discount rate.
The RSA Ogden hit is far smaller than that announced by its rivals, such as Aviva’s £385m.
RSA also said that the net £40m charge was “more than offset” by reserve releases elsewhere in the group.
RSA revealed its Ogden hit alongside UK net written premium growth of 10% in the first quarter of 2017 to £629m. The increase was 7% at constant foreign exchange rates.
RSA said five percentage points of the growth had come from increased business volumes, and two points from rate increases.
Group net written premiums were up 14% to £1.7bn. The increase was 4% at constant foreign exchange rates.
The company added that operating profit for the quarter was “strong and ahead of our plans”.
Group chief executive Stephen Hester (pictured) said: “The year has begun well for RSA. Results to date are strong with key proof points for further progress coming through positively.
“We also completed the UK legacy disposal and related capital restructuring successfully, to reduce risk, improve capital resilience and boost profits. | 2019-04-19T08:34:09Z | https://www.insurancetimes.co.uk/rsa-reveals-ogden-hit-and-uk-growth-in-q1/1421561.article |

November 2013 - Meet My Busy Mind.
Brymo v. Choc City: My (not so legal) perspective.
There is this hope in endless possibilities that every rising star - irrespective of the field of play - nurtures at the onset of their career; to become the most sought after person in their field of play. This doe-eyed enthusiasm is often tinged with naiveté, which makes such rising star susceptible to signing 'employment' contracts which, with the benefit of a little bit more time and experience, they would be wary of signing. Perhaps, this represents Brymo's predicament.
Brymo no doubt joined the label of Chocolate City with enthusiasm, and the dividends of the ‘marriage’ were almost immediate. He became a house-hold name overnight with the mega-hit 'Oleku'. Other hits subsequently followed, and the name 'Brymo' had come to stay. And so, he had a very happy ending...or so everyone thought.
Earlier this year, rumours began to circulate that Brymo had 'left' Choc city, despite the pendency of his contract with the label, while citing (among other reasons) failure on the part of Choc City to protect his music. Rather than buy himself out or sue them for making him redundant (I'm not sure what exactly the contract stipulates), Brymo...left. Literally. He walked away from Choc City. But this was way back in April.
The more recent activity surrounding the conflict between both parties may be traced to the (then) intended release Brymo's release of his album 'Merchants, Dealers and Slaves' on 25th October. Choc City marched to Court to prevent the album or any other album release, until the expiration of his contract in 2016.
This drama brings a sense of dejavu, as it is a common occurrence in the entertainment industry all over the world. Prominent artists have fallen out with their record labels at some point in their career. E.g. Michael Jackson and Sony Music Entertainment, Prince against Warner bros Studios, and more recently 'Jojo' against Blackground Records. Even on the Nigerian front, similar splits have emerged in the past, such as the very ugly (and still very fresh in our minds) D'Banj/Don Jazzy rift, resulting in the death of Mo'Hits records. One thing remains the same: such dispute could determine the continued success or eventual death of the artiste's career, depending on how it is handled.
I honestly understand with Chocolate City as to why they are not willing to allow Brymo breach the contract. Funds have been invested in him, plus it would set a bad precedent to let artistes just walk away. But then, what options did Brymo really have??
Option 2...Buy-Out? Brymo could have bought himself out, and saved himself (and all of us) from this drama. But then, it would appear he cannot afford this, as it is claimed he does not even possess a car.
Option 4...The man formerly known as 'Brymo'?? Prince pulled this stunt against Warner Bros Entertainment in the mid-nineties, when the latter refused to release him from his contract. He adopted as his new 'name' a symbol, which could not be pronounced. So the media rebranded him 'the man formerly known as Prince'. The subsequent publicity enhanced his image so much more, that Warner Bros was forced to re-negotiate with him. Brymo could very well have adopted this route of changing his name and pseudonym. But then, I doubt any Nigerian artiste is so fearless as to consider such move, or that Nigerian Courts are radical enough to accept this reasoning.
Anyway, the matter is now full blown in court, and Brymo would be forced to spend the legal fees he was avoiding. On the bright side of things for Choc City, an Interim Injunction has been granted to stop his release of the album (or any music by Brymo), pending the outcome of the Interlocutory Injunction to restrain Brymo, until the matter itself is decided (sorry for the legal jargon. Google 'the difference between an interim and an interlocutory injunction'). The aim of these actions would have restrained Brymo from releasing any music, until the case is decided, which decision may not even be decided till 2016. Until then, what does he do for a living?
On the other side of things, the album was released two days after the interim injunction was granted. While it is in some sense an affront to the law, the good thing however is that it is already a completed act, and to that extent, the Court can no longer grant an injunction restraining this album. Unfortunately for him however, if the interlocutory injunction is granted in favour of Choc City, then it would mean that he would not be able to release any music subsequently until the matter is decided. If he disregards the court order and proceeds, then he would be opening himself to bigger legal woes, ranging from punitive damages to jail time for contempt of court.
My honest advice? I think Brymo should invest in hiring the best lawyers he can borrow money to hire, because this matter could mar his career, and his person, if not properly handled. From a business perspective, I think he should consider the cost-benefits analysis of settling out of court, because by the time the case is concluded - depending on whether it gets to the Supreme Court - and calculations are made regarding damages, cost of litigation (we lawyers too go chop!), time expended, etc., he may end up spending beyond what it would have cost him to buy himself out ab initio. In the alternative, he could proceed with the ongoing suit, while attempting the Prince option i.e. drop the names Shimi Olawale Ibrahim a.k.a Brymo and keep releasing music under a new name. It would be quite interesting to see how the Nigerian Courts would determine the outcome, if he eventually chooses this option.
Irrespective of what happens eventually, we cannot help noticing the publicity this drama has created in favour of 'Merchants, Dealers and Slaves'. Kudos Brymo! | 2019-04-21T20:16:55Z | http://www.meetmybusymind.com/2013/11/ |

I applaud Frank Callahan’s article on a project labor agreement regarding the construction of the stadium for the Worcester Red Sox (Your Turn, “Project labor agreement needed in Worcester Red Sox deal,” March 14, Worcester Magazine). The study that was done was inconclusive, inaccurate, skewed and bias toward a non-PLA agreement of which neither the mayor nor City Council questioned. But how soon do we forget our city’s rich history and all the efforts of the working class that made it this way?
If there is ever a vote on this vital agreement and those who vote against or abstain from it, my message is clear … Et tu, Brute? | 2019-04-23T18:33:30Z | https://www.worcestermag.com/news/20190321/letter-how-soon-we-forget-hard-working-people-of-city |

The woman at the self-checkout at the grocery store fills up one plastic bag with her avocados and eggs and cans of pink salmon, and then takes the bag and sets it on the floor.
There's a scale under the bags that makes sure that we're not robbing the store blind, and it objects strenuously to the woman's removal of the bag, but she doesn't even notice, nor, when she does notice, does she know why the machine is objecting.
She keeps scanning stuff, which makes the machine squawk a short, garbled, digital curse each time she does, but she doesn't even notice until finally the machine announces, in a delightfully cheerful voice, that she should "Put the scanned items back on the scanner scale."
I make eye contact with the self-checkout monitor who's watching the whole transaction with appropriate boredom, and I shrug, a gesture she considers before giving an elaborate shrug/eyeroll and then going over to the woman who is staring at her self-checkout machine in baffled defeat. | 2019-04-26T06:40:37Z | http://www.foureachday.com/2016/10/self-checkout.html |
This thesis describes the transition metal-catalyzed radical functionalization of alkene with alcohols and formamides. A copper- or cobalt-catalyzed reaction protocol wherein the 1,3-enynes and arylalkenes underwent three-component oxyalkylation reaction with alcohols and hydroperoxides has been established. Direct α-C(sp3)-H activation of alcohol was achieved to assemble 1,3-dioxygenated molecular framework. Downstream chemical transformation allowed the β-peroxy alcohol product to give facile entry towards β-hydroxyynone and propargylic 1,3-diol. Building on this work, the reaction has been extended to employing formamide derivatives as the sources of aminocarbonyl moieties for oxycarbonylation reaction of alkenes via direct formyl C-H functionalization of formamides. The β-peroxy amide product could be subjected to chemical manipulation to afford the respective β-hydroxy amide, β-keto amide and β–lactam in follow-up reactions. In addition to the difunctionalization reaction, oxidative coupling of formamides and enamides was also successfully realized for the assembly of N-acyl enamine amides. The densely-functionalized amide products allowed efficient syntheses of pyrimidin-4-ones and 4-hydroxy-2-pyridinones. | 2019-04-23T03:14:54Z | https://repository.ntu.edu.sg/handle/10356/69209 |

Decades of torment and instability have left football as a final glimmer of hope that continues to unify Iraqis against all odds. FIFA’s decision to sanction Saddam Hussain following his invasion of Kuwait in 1990 resulted in Iraq being banned from hosting international matches. Nearly three decades on from the initial ban, Iraqis will be delighted to see FIFA finally lift that ban on their homeland.
Karbala, Basra and Erbil have played pivotal roles over the last three years, hosting numerous friendlies and mini-competitions to demonstrate Iraq’s ability to host international teams. Saudi Arabia were the last team to take on the Lions of Mesopotamia in their backyard, losing 4-1 in a friendly held in late February. Kenya, Jordan and Syria have also taken part in successful friendliess that ended with no major incidents of note.
The FIFA Council met in Bogota to discuss potentially removing the ban on Iraqi stadiums for competitive games. They decided to partially lift the ban on Iraq, meaning they’re able to play in Karbala, Basra and Erbil. The council decided to monitor the situation in Baghdad further before deciding to remove the ban on the capital too. The decision comes as a huge relief for the national team and fans, who are eager to once again have football return to their homeland.
Playing your home games on neutral venues will never come close to replicating the same atmosphere that Iraqis are known to generate at football matches. No Gulf country possesses the same love for football as Iraqis, as is evident by the usually subdued atmospheres in their home games. On the other hand, Iraqis are some of the most passionate fans on Earth. Nearly three decades of sanctions has only made the fans more keen to watch their beloved national team, and so they will be in full voice once their ban is lifted once and for all. This sort of hostile environment will prove intimidating for opposition players, who are used to playing in half-empty stadiums across Asia. Likewise, the Iraq players will be inspired at the spectacle of 60,000 green shirts singing their national anthem. Having so many fans cheer your name can be the difference between a win and a draw – hearing the fans roar can play a huge role in motivating a player. Often, these small margins are the difference between success and failure. Unfortunately, with Iraq only able to play competitive games abroad, in empty stadiums, they are automatically impeded. The atmosphere is completely flat and the players are unable to gain any advantage over opposition teams, despite the fact that the game is supposed to be a ‘home fixture’ for Iraq. Karrar Mohammed described the atmosphere in Iraq’s recent 4-1 win over Saudi Arabia as a “carnival, not a football match”. The player compared his situation to someone who has been “starved of food for an entire week” and that he was “hungry” to represent Iraq in front of his home fans.
Poor playing surfaces, along with poor tactics, have resulted in Iraq playing a direct style of football for numerous years. When afforded the luxury of good quality pitches, Iraq have usually been able to play a fairly comfortable passing game. However, when in most Middle Eastern countries, the poor surface makes it impossible for fluid football to take place – this is nearly always the case when Iraq has played their ‘home games’ in Iran. Naturally, Iraq’s tactics will involve the defence launching the ball high up for the lone striker to chase down, completely eliminating the midfield. Technically gifted players like Ahmed Yasin and Justin Meram are unable to replicate their club form as the ball will often bobble at their feet whilst they try to dribble across the uneven surface. With Iraq hosting their own games, they will be able to lay their own pitches and care for the surface. This may be key in Iraq being able to play a more possession-based game, at least during home fixtures.
Hosting international football matches will play a huge role for Iraq’s tourism industry. Along with increased ticket sales, fans will flock from far and wide to see their national team take on the Lions of Mesopotamia. It can be expected that foreign fans will look to spend money on hotels, restaurants and in local shops, all of which is much needed in Iraq’s oil-dependant economy. Likewise, Iraqi fans following their national team around the country will also look to spend when traveling from one city to another. The revenue generated from ticket sales will hopefully be reinvested by the Iraqi FA into new initiatives that will modernise the domestic game. Investment in further stadiums, grassroot pitches and updated facilities will allow Iraq to once again compete with Asia’s finest.
Iraqis just want to live a normal life. Decades of war and instability have resulted in the majority of Iraqis being sick and tired of the uncertainty plaguing their day to day activities. Being able to watch their national team play in Iraq once again will be a huge morale booster for the entire country. It will act as a crucial reminder that Iraq is no different to any other country and that safety is once again the norm in our streets. For children growing up in Iraq, being able to watch their childhood heros wear the famous green jersey will be a memory they will never forget.
The impressive Basra stadium was developed as part of proposal to have the Gulf Cup 2018 set in Iraq. Due to financial constraints, Iraq had to withdraw from hosting the competition. Previous attempts at hosting the competition in both 2013 and 2014 were also abandoned due to security fears. With normality returning to everyday life in Iraq, removing the ban will give Iraq a perfect platform to host future tournaments and competitions. The seasoned Al-Shaab stadium in Baghdad will be one of many to welcome international teams, alongside the newly constructed Karbala Sports City and Franso Hariri Stadium in Erbil. | 2019-04-26T10:38:29Z | https://iraqfootball.me/2018/03/16/its-time-fifa-finally-lifts-the-ban-on-iraq-hosting-international-football/ |
At the end of the Nordnes Peninsula, this aquarium makes a worthwhile trip, especially for families. There are around 60 individual aquaria here, housing lots of interesting marine species from octopi to reef fish, although kids are bound to gravitate to the shark tunnel or the seals and penguins. There's also a tropical zone housing snakes, crocodiles and other reptiles.

Took this before playing some tennis. This is my schools batting cages. This area is hardly ever cleaned. I love this shot as it is simple and combines three passions of mine: Sport, architecture, and photography. I love basketball more than tennis, however, I would have to choose tennis to pursue playing as it is easier on my body. Plus I’m only 5’9 which doesn’t help in either sport. I do play hard in both sports and would love to play on a basketball team. I just pursuing tennis as more favorable to me in the long run.
Did a lot today but I still have a lot more to do. I wasn’t able to do everything that I wanted to do, but there is still time before midnight. I’m narrowing my focus and cutting off things that don’t really help me in the long run. Also will be limiting my entertainment which I have done to a certain point which has be being more productive. Going to focus on storytelling (photography, filmmaking, writing) and fitness. I’m interested in being a traveling photography and filmmaker while also pursuing sports coaching or at least get a certificate to coach athletes one on one. I can find ways to combine both storytelling and fitness, it will be a long progress but will be truly worth it.
Nothing like some good tennis to get your day started. I was able to take a few shows before getting some practice in. I love experimenting with shadows and lines. I wanted to show that you want the ball to be on the other side of the court. You always aim above the net not at it. Meaning you must set hug goals for yourself and an even higher one.
You can win a point after a long volley, an excellent ace, or even a smash. Whatever it takes score all the points you need to capture the win aka your dreams. Never give up and never give in. | 2019-04-19T08:53:21Z | https://davidrobbinsjr.com/tag/sport/ |
The City collects garbage weekly from 600,000 households along 350 daily routes. The City has long organized garbage collection services on a ward-by-ward basis. The City assigns the laborers and motor truck drivers who collect garbage in individual wards, where they work on truck routes that do not cross ward boundaries.
However, the City’s recycling pickup is organized based on a regional routing system that does not take into account ward boundaries.
Under this option, the City would shift its garbage collection to a regional, grid-based system. By comparing the efficiency of recycling collection with garbage collection, we can estimate what efficiencies might be achieved through a regional, grid-based system of garbage collection.
According to the City’s Mobile Asset Tracking system (CMAT), the City currently has 43 recycling trucks. Assuming that these trucks are all continually operational, the City is providing recycling services to 241,000 households every other week using 43 daily routes.36 The table below compares the difference in annual pickups per daily route of garbage collection and recycling.
The table shows that recycling collection, which uses regional routing, averages significantly more pickups per route than garbage collection, which uses the ward system.
This is despite the fact that recycling trucks only have one laborer assigned, while some garbage trucks have two. However, garbage collection averages nearly 11 tons collected per daily route per day, while recycling collection averages only 4.65 tons per daily route per day.
Because garbage collection is collecting significantly more tonnage per route, workers spend less time collecting because the trucks must make more frequent trips to dump their loads.
In 2008, the average load dumped at City-owned dumpsites was 6.65 tons. Based on the average tons collected per route per day, garbage collection averages 1.65 loads per day and recycling averages 0.7 loads per day.
For simplicity, assume that garbage collection dumps two loads per day and recycling dumps one load per day, and one load in each program is dumped after the 8-hour collection shift is over through the City’s night shuttle program.
Under these assumptions, garbage collection is interrupted by one dump during the 8-hour collection shift, while recycling collection is not. Assuming an average dump takes 1.5 hours, garbage is collected an average of 6.5 hours per route per day, while recycling is collected for the full 8-hour collection shift.
The table below compares the estimated pickups per hour for garbage and recycling collection and shows that recycling collection using regional routing is more efficient in terms of pickups per hour than garbage collection based on the ward system.
If garbage collection averaged the same number of pickups per hour as recycling collection, the number of daily routes could be reduced to 264, or a 24.6% reduction.
Assuming that a 24.6% reduction in routes would yield a 24.6% reduction in staffing devoted to garbage collection, the table below details the reduction in personnel and associated personnel costs that would be realized.
The table shows that if the City were to move to a grid-based routing system for garbage collection and achieve the same efficiency that the regional routing of recycling is currently achieving, the City might reduce its 2010 personnel costs by up to $24.1 million through the elimination of up to 297 positions.
Because of contractual increases in personnel costs, the savings from implementing this option would grow in future years.
The 2011 and 2012 salaries of Laborers and Motor Truck Drivers will be higher due to collective bargaining agreements, which call for salary increases of 3.25% in 2011 and 3.5% in 2012.
Assuming that there are no increases in salaries for the other positions and that the furloughs are continued in their current form, the table below shows the increase in compensation costs over the next two years for the 297 eliminated positions.
In addition to the savings from a reduction in the number of daily routes, additional savings could be generated by reducing the number of laborers on the remaining routes to one laborer per truck.
With 264 daily routes, operating approximately 250 days a year, there are approximately 66,000 annual routes. Assuming that the average sanitation worker works 200 days per year (after holidays, vacation days, and sick and disability leave) to ensure that there would be a sufficient reserve to avoid un-staffed routes, 330 sanitation laborers would be needed to fully staff the 66,000 routes.
This would mean an additional reduction in the number of laborers by 122. At an average compensation of $75,579, their total compensation in 2010 would equal $9.2 million.
The 2011 and 2012 compensation will be higher due to the Laborers collective bargaining agreement, which calls for a salary increase of 3.25% in 2011 and 3.5% in 2012. Assuming that the furloughs remain in place, the compensation for these 122 positions will cost $9.5 million in 2011 and $9.8 million in 2012.
These savings will be slightly reduced because under the current collective bargaining agreement with the Laborers Union, sanitation laborers working on one-laborer garbage trucks are to be paid 9 percent more than their regular hourly rate.
Thus, the reduction in 122 laborers would on average result in 122 additional laborers working on a one-laborer garbage truck, resulting in a 9 percent increase in their salaries. This would cost an additional $856,000 in 2011 and $885,000 in 2012.
Additionally, under the agreement between the City and Coalition of Union Public Employees (COUPE) to impose furlough days from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011, if the City chooses to lay off employees during this period, all laid off employees will be paid for any unpaid holidays or furlough days taken since July 1, 2009.
Thus, if the City were to lay off the 269 total sanitation laborers and 110 motor truck drivers, the affected employees would have to be paid approximately 13.5 percent of their salaries to compensate for unpaid days they have taken over the last year and a half, since the furlough agreement has been in place. This would reduce the savings in 2011 by an additional $3.8 million.
Therefore, the total estimated savings from switching to regional routing system of garbage collection and reducing the number of laborers on the remaining routes to 1 would be $29.6 million in 2011 and $34.5 million in 2012.
Of course, there would be additional savings from reducing the City’s fleet of garbage trucks such as savings in future truck purchases, maintenance costs, gas, oil, etc.
Proponents might argue that organizing garbage collection on a ward-by-ward basis is inefficient and wasteful. They would argue that organizing collection by regional grid would reduce the time it takes for workers to get from the ward yard to the routes and routes could be organized to reduce the distance from route to dumpsite.
They may also cite an IGO investigation in 2008 that found that garbage collection crews worked, on average, only 75 percent of the work day, indicating that there was not enough work for the collection crews to perform. Additionally, they might cite the fact that Streets and Sanitation decided to organize recycling collection on a regional, grid-based system in order to deliver the service more cheaply.
Opponents might argue that ward-based system provides better customer service than a more centralized grid system.
With ward-by-ward service, City residents have a more direct relationship with the City workers who coordinate garbage collection in their neighborhoods. Some might also argue that garbage collection has long been a primary responsibility of the City’s aldermen and that this has resulted in cleaner streets, timelier pickups, and satisfied residents.
Reduce the Number of Laborers on a Garbage Truck to 1 Savings: $10.3 million in 2011, $12 million in 2012.
On some of the City’s garbage trucks, the City assigns two laborers and one motor truck driver.... These employees are responsible for the weekly collection of garbage from 600,000 households along 350 daily routes.
Until the last couple of years, the City generally assigned two laborers to each garbage truck. However, due to budget cuts, the City has reduced the number of budgeted sanitation laborers from 816 in 2008 to 599 in 2010. This reduction in laborers means that a significant portion of the 350 daily routes are manned by one laborer.
Under this option, the City would further reduce the number of laborers devoted to garbage collection, so that on average one laborer is assigned to each garbage truck.
With 350 daily routes, operating approximately 250 days a year, there are approximately 87,500 annual routes. Assuming that the average sanitation worker works 200 days per year (after holidays, vacation days, and sick and disability leave) to ensure that there would be a sufficient reserve to avoid un-staffed routes, 438 sanitation laborers would be needed to fully staff the 87,500 routes.
This means that the number of laborers could be reduced by approximately 161.50 At an average compensation of $75,579 their total compensation in 2010 would equal $12.2 million. The 2011 and 2012 compensation will be higher due to the Laborers collective bargaining agreement, which calls for a salary increase of 3.25% in 2011 and 3.5% in 2012. Assuming that the furloughs remain in place, the compensation for these 161 positions will cost $12.6 million in 2011 and $13 million in 2012.
These savings will be reduced because under the current collective bargaining agreement with the Laborers Union, sanitation laborers working on one-laborer garbage trucks are to be paid 9 percent more than their regular hourly rate.
Thus, the reduction in 161 laborers would on average result in 161 additional laborers working on a one-laborer garbage truck, resulting in a 9 percent increase in their salaries. This would cost an additional $934,000 in 2011 and $967,000 in 2012.
Finally, under the agreement between the City and Coalition of Union Public Employees (COUPE) to impose furlough days from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2011, if the City chooses to lay off employees during this period, all laid off employees will be paid for any unpaid holidays or furlough days taken since July 1, 2009.
Thus, if the City were to lay off 161 laborers, the affected laborers would have to be paid approximately 13.5 percent of their salaries to compensate for unpaid days they have taken over the last year and a half, since the furlough agreement has been in place. This would reduce the savings in 2011 by an additional $1.36 million.
After subtracting the reduced savings due to the increased pay for 1-person garbage trucks and the furlough payback provision, the savings from implementing this option would be approximately $10.3 million in 2011 and $12 million in 2012.
Proponents might argue that the City no longer needs two laborers on a garbage truck because the trucks are now semi-automated, meaning garbage carts are lifted and dumped by a mechanism on the back of the trucks.
They may also cite an IGO investigation in 2008 that found that garbage collection crews worked, on average, only 75 percent of the work day, indicating that there was not enough work for the collection crews to perform.
Others might argue that few cities have three staff assigned to each garbage truck. According to 2008 data from the International City/County Management Association’s (ICMA), among the six jurisdictions with over 500,000 people which submitted data only one (San Antonio) had 3 staff per garbage vehicle, and this is likely because collection is done manually.
The other five jurisdictions (Phoenix, Miami-Dade County, Dallas, Austin, and Oklahoma City) all had 1 person per vehicle and automated or semi-automated collection.
Opponents might argue that reducing the number of laborers to one on all garbage trucks would reduce the quality of collection service in the City. They would argue that reducing the number of laborers could result in less frequent service as it takes trucks longer to perform their routes.
Additionally, others might argue that in addition to their collection responsibilities, laborers sweep alleys, pick up trash, or remove street-sweeping signs. Reducing the number of laborers would mean a reduction in these services.
Simple. Organize the wards on a grid system, rather than gerrymandered as they are now. Makes the garbage collection more efficient, while keeping it in the hands of the aldermen.
The trucks on the Far North Side are picking up less garbage than a year ago.
I know this because while they're leaving the garage on Ravenswood Ave. at the same time every morning, they're coming back for the day way before they used to. Now they return as early as 2 PM, while a year ago it was at 3 PM. All the workers cars are gone by 3 PM now, it used to take until 4 PM last year.
The only explanation for the ward by ward system appears to be the very least paragraph which to me seems pretty flimsy. How are the residents' or aldermen's relationships with the city workers stronger if they don't cross ward boundaries on any given day? They still have to pick up their garbage every week? I don't get that at all.
---I also found it interesting that the city apparently picks up about twice the tonnage of trash than it does recycling. In the superboonies where I live, the ratio is more than twice the opposite. We have two wheeled containers for each house; one for recycling, and a somewhat larger one for trash. We fill the recycling container each week, and the trash container has a few things in the bottom of it; some garbage, contaminated paper not suitable for recycling, used facial tissues, the occasional diaper when the grandchildren come visiting. The city's ratio is possibly a residuum of the blue bag program; people just aren't used to a serious recycling program yet.
And oh yes: the collection trucks have a claw on the side that picks up the container, upends it and dumps it. One man per truck, and he never has to get out.
Cut down on high absenteeism while you're at it.
I lived in Chicago until 1975 and knew that if you wanted to guarantee that the old loveseat or refrigerator that you hauled out to your alley were to be picked up it was a good idea to meet the garbage truck with maybe a cold six pack in a brown bag or possibly a $5 bill discreetly passed to the driver. Actually, you could give it to any one of the three or four 'workers' who either drove, rode on the back of, or walked along behind, the truck. Since then I've lived in the suburbs (Alsip, Justice, Worth, Lockport) and have enjoyed simple, cost effective trash collection by various private refuse companies. I have never, in more than 35 years, had to call to complain about the service I've received. This includes picking up couchs, freezers, construction waste or trees. If there's a holiday, flood, blizzard or any other form of delay they're there the day after the normal pick-up day, never later. The most amazing part is, all of this is done by one worker, and has been for the last 20 years. So, until somebody in city government grows a pair and finally decides to attack the real problem, this totally wasteful practice will continue. | 2019-04-23T23:52:40Z | https://blogs.chicagotribune.com/news_columnists_ezorn/2011/08/getting-on-the-grid.html |

The Indian Herald: Online English Newspaper: Priyanka to contest from Uttar Pradesh!
Priyanka to contest from Uttar Pradesh!
Beleaguered Congress workers want Priyanka Gandhi-Vadra to contest election from Uttar Pradesh to revive the party that has almost vanished in the state.
Hoping that Priyanka's election campaign would revive the party's chances in UP, the State Congress Committee has urged the party chief Sonia Gandhi to field her daughter Priyanka in the Lok Sabha election.
They hope that the electorate would vote for her charisma and remind them of her grandmother, late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Priyanka is urged to contest from Sultanpur, Moradabad and Allahabad.
These are considered comparatively safe constituencies for Priyanka. UPCC chief Dr Reeta Bahuguna Joshi has said that district congress committees have communicated to the party high-command that they want Priyanka to be fielded in the election, as it can turn the tide in Congress' favour.
From mid-80s when the Ram Mandir-Babri Masjid dispute came to focus, Congress has steadily lost its base in India' most populous state. First, BJP prospered at the expense of Congress.
Later the caste-based politics further relegated the party to the background as SP, BSP became the major players and Ajit Singh's party occupied the remaining space, and Congress lost its old bastion. | 2019-04-22T03:16:39Z | http://www.theindianherald.com/2009/01/priyanka-to-contest-from-uttar-pradesh.html |
