en | N/A | N/A | Noah Romero of Alamosa works some nifty ball handling skills against Mario Espinoza (3) during Alamosa's district semifinal victory on Feb. 22. (Courier photo by Stephen Jiron)
ALAMOSA — This Friday the 3A State Championship of Colorado Basketball kicks off. Of the four teams from the San Luis Valley to make it to 3A's state championship tournament, Alamosa High School's boys are one of them.
Alamosa closed the regular season with a 16-2 record, of the two losses the first came against the number seventh RPI ranked Faith Christian and the second came in a hard fought IML battle with Centauri.
The best scoring average in Alamosa belongs to senior Noah Romero. Romero is currently netting 11.4 points per game and shoots an adjusted field goal percentage of 45 percent in recorded games. Angelo Ramirez anchors Alamosa down low with 182 total rebounds while also being quite apt at scoring himself. Ramirez has collected 215 points over the course of the season and owns all five of Alamosa's double-doubles.
One would be remiss if they discussed the Mean Moose without mentioning Ry Adams. Adams lives outside the arc and has built a nice existence. So far this season he has been good for 221 points and of those, 171 were banked from downtown. Adams leads Alamosa in long distance shooting percentage hitting 37 percent. (min. 20 att.)
The Moose entered the district playoffs with a first round bye. After defeating Montezuma-Cortez handily they would advance to the district championship against Bayfield, a game they would lose. The loss didn't hurt Alamosa as their RPI still floated them to a higher seed than Bayfield for the state tournament.
The second seeded Alamosa boys' squad will face off with number 31 Cedaredge. The Cedaredge didn't field a particularly impressive record finishing 9-12. Nor did the Bruins manage very well in their own district finishing 2-7 in the Western Slope. What they do have is a strong shooter in senior Peter Carlson.
At 6'7" Carlson is a jack-of-all-trades for Cedaredge. Carlson typically leads the Bruins in scoring with 18.2 points per game. Carlson is also 12th in the state in rebounds per game pulling down 12.1 per game and second in the state in blocks denying 4.6 shots per game. All that cleaning boards, blocking and scoring avails Carlson to a wealth of double-doubles (DD) and triple-doubles (TD). Carlson owns 13 of the Bruin's 16 DDs and all three TDs. While basketball remains a team sport Alamosa will undoubtedly be devoting most of their efforts to silencing Carlson come Friday night at 5:30 p.m..
With a win Alamosa will face the other half of their quadrant, the winner of Colorado Springs Christian and Grand Valley on the following night at Alamosa High School.

A playful collage animation to illustrate how new partnerships between philanthropy and business are disrupting the status quo
Marisa Rodriguez needed a car to get to work. She couldn’t afford to buy one, and because she had a limited credit history, she couldn’t get a loan. Alfalfa Studio collaborated with Ford Foundation to tell the story of Marisa’s problem and solution in an engaging, compelling and accessible way.
In a playful collage animation style, we illustrated to bring much-needed capital to underserved communities.
Working closely with the Ford Foundation team, Alfalfa Studio created original collage illustrations, produced dozens of branded backgrounds, directed the story and animation, and supervised all production and post-production aspects, including sound effects and commissioning of original music.
Frame-by-frame, our carefully planned storyboard explained the problem and the solution: how difficult it is for low-income d how the Ford Foundation and companies like Core Innovation Capital and Progreso Financiero are changing the way the system works to make it easier for low-income consumers to build good credit history.
The video successfully turns a complex storyline into a more accessible and human narrative. The video is a key component of a larger piece of digital content titled, Where Markets Lead, Will Justice Follow? Hosted within the Ford Foundation website, this multi-part thought-piece features multimedia elements and interviews with prominent change-makers.

en | N/A | N/A | Abstract: Genetic sequence data are well described by hidden Markov models (HMMs) in which latent states correspond to clusters of similar mutation patterns. Theory from statistical genetics suggests that these HMMs are nonhomogeneous (their transition probabilities vary along the chromosome) and have large support for self transitions. We develop a new nonparametric model of genetic sequence data, based on the hierarchical Dirichlet process, which supports these self transitions and nonhomogeneity. Our model provides a parameterization of the genetic process that is more parsimonious than other more general nonparametric models which have previously been applied to population genetics. We provide truncation-free MCMC inference for our model using a new auxiliary sampling scheme for Bayesian nonparametric HMMs. In a series of experiments on male X chromosome data from the Thousand Genomes Project and also on data simulated from a population bottleneck we show the benefits of our model over the popular finite model fastPHASE, which can itself be seen as a parametric truncation of our model. We find that the number of HMM states found by our model is correlated with the time to the most recent common ancestor in population bottlenecks. This work demonstrates the flexibility of Bayesian nonparametrics applied to large and complex genetic data. |

en | N/A | N/A | As the start of the school year approaches, a group of concerned Surrey residents are hoping to highlight the need for new schools in the rapidly expanding city.
Overcrowding is extremely serious at Surrey schools and there has been a lack of capital funding since 2005, said Linda Stromberg, a member of an ad-hoc committee formed in March to address the issue.
“The new Adams Road school in Cloverdale opened in January of this year, and two portables have been added,” Stromberg told Peace Arch News Friday.
Stromberg – who serves on the ad-hoc committee with, teachers union, CUPE, district parent advisory councils and students – noted it will take up to five years and $273 million to build the schools Surrey needs today.
And, she added, before construction of those schools is complete, the city’s school population will grow by 4,000 to 5,000 students.
While Stromberg has heard an announcement may be on the way from the government, she said the need for immediate capital funding is urgent.
Surrey School Board chair Laurae McNally agreed.
“Oh my God, yes. There is a desperate need for new schools in Surrey,” McNally said in a phone interview.
About 900 new residents move to Surrey every month and 30 per cent of those new neighbours are under the age of 19, McNally said.
“We truly do not fit the mold of any other school district,” she said.
McNally said that usually people hear about enrolment declines and schools closing in other B.C. school districts, but that’s not the case in Surrey.
The committee is urging Surrey residents to write, call or email their local MLA, the provincial ministers for education and finance and the premier to express their concerns on the issue. |

Thanks to the RAM Tracking fleet management software.
Saving time for your fleet manager
Our intelligent fleet management system. RAM Tracking are regularly scored highly for exceptional customer service as one of the best fleet tracking UK companies about.
Implementing our RAM Tracking fleet management software across your business
There are a whole host of benefits to using our fleet tracking system. Here’s a comprehensive list of why RAM is one of the top fleet management companies:
- Accurate ETAs
Fleet management is simply the management of a fleet, or large quantity, of vehicles that are used by a business. In some instances the fleet can refer to a vast number of company cars owned and managed by a company, in other instances, it can be the vehicles required to keep the business going e.g. delivery trucks, vans for site visits and lorries used for logistics. Fleet management is often used to describe a product that helps manage this process.
RAM Tracking’s own fleet management product is a form of fleet tracking. Using vehicle tracking devices that we install across company fleets, we can help fleet managers monitor and measure the usage of these vehicles.
- Enforcing fleet policies and regulations to protect drivers. Our fleet tracking software can monitor driver speed and alert fleet managers when they’ve exceeded the speed limit in order to protect driver safety and avoid costly fines. Using RAM Tracking, fleet managers can monitor if the company vehicle is being used when it shouldn’t be e.g. out of office hours by receiving instant email alerts
- Optimise fleet driving behaviour. Using our fleet management software, companies can analyse the different routes taken by their fleet to optimise how they plan and complete journeys. RAM Tracking fleet tracking can help fleet managers and drivers avoid congested or slower roads, reduce mileage on journeys and measure route efficiency.
Definitely. Have a look at our fleet fleet trackingy.

en | N/A | N/A | My practice heavy cake a few weeks ago was the first time I’ve managed to produce one with a heavy line, and this one that I entered also has one. I think this time I slightly underbaked rather than massvely overbaked though.
I’m getting a bit better and a lot more consistent at crimping, somewhat helped by making 6 pasties at a time (my freezer is now full of them). Something’s gone backwards though; I got second place last year in the gent’s class but nothing this time.
Class 32: Cornish black cake
The recipe in the show schedule called for approximately half a can’s worth of stout, so I made two. The recipe also mandates a 7″ tin, but only one of mine is tall enough, so I ended up with two different sized cakes. I figured it was better to enter the one which was slightly too big rather than the slightly too small one, and it was better baked. The top was a bit cracked, but so were some of the other entries.
Class 33: 4 splits, to be joined
The practice bake came out really well, but I think these needed a few more minutes in the oven. My search for splits in any of the local bakeries was an almost complete bust: nobody seems to make them any more, but I did get some advice on what they should look like. They should be darker on top.
Class 34: Loaf of bread
My biggest disappointment this year. The practice bake for this came out looking fantastic, but didn’t have quite enough filling, and was slightly underdone. Whereas the actual bake had too much filling, or maybe just not very well sealed joins. I did get an individual comment from the judges for this one; they loved the flavour (Red Shropshire cheese, red onions, and mustard) but it was underdone (again! I’m beginning to suspect that my oven is broken)
Beetroot and cheese (Red Shropshire again), cut into heart shapes. Finally, something the judges definitely liked!
Class 36: Gluten free cake
I had a big fright after making this when I found the bag of flour that I’d planned to use didn’t appear to have been used, meaning that I’d made the cake with normal flour, and it wouldn’t be a valid entry for the class. Then I found the other bag of gluten free flour, which I obviously had used. So I could still enter the class, but the of the two bags of flour, I’d accidentally used the one which had produced the worse results of the two practice bakes. I did use the recipe from the better practice, but the final result came somewhere between the two.
Another one requiring multiple bakes on the day, but the only one where it made a difference. The first pastry case that I made came out reasonably well, but there was a massive bubble in the side which I couldn’t easily hide. Fortunately, I had loads of pastry left over, so I had another go. The second attempt was better baked and bubble free. Apart from the decoration on top. this is a fairly standard quiche Lorraine.
These are filled with pork and apple sausage meat, surrounding a fruity black pudding core. I think they taste amazing, but they also appear to be slightly underbaked.
This one also went through multiple revisions on the day. I overcooked the first one (makes a change), and one of the layers came out very lopsided. So I made another one, which was much better cooked and much more even. Then when I opened the jam for the filling, I found lots of mould in the jar. Lucky for me, I located another jar, but as this was on the morning of the show, the extra delay was extremely unwelcome.
Class 40: Individual dessert for one
I decided that the banana in the practice dessert just made things too complicated, so this rice pudding only has strawberry and Nutella layers, which are much more clearly defined than the 3-layer version. As well as the chocolate covered strawberry on top, there are also a few roasted hazelnuts. I think this came out pretty well overall, but I might have put a bit too much sugar in for the judges’ taste.
Class 41: Marble cake, 3 colours
This is chocolate, lemon and rose, It needed bit more swirling to get a proper marble effect, and couple more miniutes in the oven wouldn’t have hurt.
Class 42: A shortbread round
This was one of the classes about which I asked questions of the organisers a few weeks before the show. I thought that they’d said that markings weren’t required, but the judges left a note covering almost all of the entries to say that there should be divisions marked on the top. I must remember to put a doily on the plate next time.
Class 46: Jar of chutney
Not bad for my first ever attempt at making chutney., but I think it could do with being just very slightly less solid. This was made from beetroot, red onion and pear, several weeks before the show.
Class 56: Decorated hard boiled egg
Very much a last minute affair, although I did boil and dye the egg a few days in advance. I was hoping I might find something a bit more interesting, but this turned out to be the only silk tie I had, and although the transfer of the dye to the egg worked better than I was expecting, it could have been a lot clearer. I also had no plans for what to add other than the dye. In the end, I realised that I could at least use the rest of the tie, but even that almost didn’t happen, as I had quite a lot of trouble tying it in the right place without putting it round my neck. Still, if one of the other entries wasn’t disqualified for using a polystyrene egg, I suspect that this wouldn’t even rate a Highly Commended.
I”ve posted all of my photography entries on Flickr, but two deserve mention here:
Class 113: Man’s best friend
I did actually manage to take a reasonable picture of a pair of photogenic dogs, and that might just about have been worth a place, but there were a lot of entries in this class, and everyone else stuck with dogs (though one or two also had other animals as well), so I decided that Sherlock posing with my shoe was at least unique enough to draw attention. It clearly did catch the eye of the judges, but not quite enough for any points.
Class 108: A song title
I captioned this as “The Bug”, by Dire Straits. Not bad for a random insect that I just happened to see ambling across the pavement while I was walking home one night.
So from my entries in 30 classes, I managed 1 First (also Best Exhibit in that section), 1 Second, 3 Thirds, and 1 Highly Commended. I also somehow managed to get them all prepared in time (though at the cost of a night’s sleep due to 3 repeat bakes), and carried them all to the tent in one go in a giant rucksack. Oh, and I also got 3rd prize for my costume in the carnival, and won a bottle of wine and an Eden Project family ticket in the raffles.

Posted on June 7, 2015 by pmh1wheel
While browsing the Market of Curiosities at the From Steampunk Extravaganza last weekend, I got talking to the friendly people at the Hot Sauce Emporium stand. One of them turned out to be a fellow porridge adulerator, and one outcome from our discussion which started with merely adding flavours to oats, was the idea of the refried porridge burrito. Having acquired some of Dr Burnorium’s ghost-pepper-stuffed Psycho Chocolate at the stall, this morning I made my first attempt at realising the idea.
Actually, I started last night, by making some relatively plain porridge (oats and soya milk, plus some diced sweet potato, mainly for a bit of interest, but also because it’s the closest to beans I had available). I usually make my porridge quite thick, but leaving it overnight allowed it to set further, making it more amenable to refrying, which was the first step this morning:
That would probably be just about OK on its own, but maybe a bit bland. So, what else commonly goes in burritos? Depending on the variant you prefer, it might be something along the lines of chilli, rice and cheese. With what I had to hand this morning, that meant Psycho Chocolate (all three flavours, of course), amazake, and Stinking Bishop (also acquired while at FSE, albeit in From’s regular Saturday market):
Laying out the burrito filling
Then I just had to roll it up and sample the results, which I’m glad to say were extremely satisfactory. I still have plenty of the chocolate left, as it’s wasteful (and possibly dangerous) to eat more than a couple of chunks in one sitting, so I may try to improve on the recipe in next weekend’s cereal experiment.
Now that’s what I call a breakfast burrito!
I’m sure I’ve said it here before, but porridge really is jolly good stuff. The very blandness which puts some people off means that by adding pretty much any flavour (sweet, savoury or both) you can make something tasty and filling. Oh, and another surprise from the conversation at the stand was finding the only other person I’ve met so far who has discovered for himself the awesome flavour combination of honey and Marmite, though he didn’t reveal to what use he’d put it.

London Perl Workshop 2012
Posted on January 17, 2013 by pmh1wheel
It’s been a few weeks since LPW 2012, so I thought I’d better write up my thoughts on it while I still retain the tiniest scintilla of memory. This year’s theme was “25 years of Perl”, as the workshop was held just a month shy of the 25th anniversary of the release of perl 1.0 on an unsuspecting world.
Full report this way…

en | N/A | N/A | s so even they are beatable. The Syrian command has not been really prepared for that.
Hi willie
There will always be the useful idiots- the cannon fodder
That's no different in any military. AT least I don't see it as any different
It''s the hierarchical structure/nature of the military hive mindset
I had something saved regarding Syria, but, didn't get it up. trying to get the garden in and the weather isn't cooperating as we drop in temps well, well below normal- sigh </s> U.S.I`ll highlight the interesting bits
‘Ask yourself what group or organization would want only to deny Syria’s combined allied forces from taking back Aleppo? The answer is NATO”WSJ continues:
In Brussels, coalition defense ministers also met on Thursday to assess the military campaign against Islamic State. American Defense Secretary Ash Carter opened that gathering by saying new efforts by the U.S. and fresh contributions by its allies would have an impact on the ground in Syria and Iraq.Translation; Altering the balance of power on the ground. We already know additional special ops have been sent into Syria. We already know the US will lead all ground force ops. We already know the US is planning to pour weapons to the "opposition" aka NATO backed terrorists. Ashton Carter promises these moves will result in gains on the ground before the next meeting mid march.
Complicating U.S. efforts to advance peace talks in Syria (???) and rally a broad coalition to defeat Islamic State and other extremists are the diverging priorities of some of its regional allies. Both Saudi Arabia and Turkey remain focused on toppling the Assad regime, while NATO member Turkey also has the added goal of keeping Syria’s Kurds in check. Riyadh is also determined to push back Iran’s reach into Syria.Complicating US efforts? I don't think so. It has been and still is the US/Israel that wants the Assad government toppled. Saudi Arabia is not complicating that issue. Turkey and Iran are.
Mr. Carter didn’t comment directly on the prospect of a Saudi-led ground force, but he voiced a note of skepticism, saying the coalition was focused on developing local forces to retake territory from Islamic State.Translation: "Our strategic approach" is the very one I've informed my readership of all along.
I've stated plainly, clearly and concisely this is what is going on. It was obvious. It was all done right in plain sight. This is KurdIShIS. This is that symbiosis identified here so long ago. Mr Carter has just told you all, the same as I've told everyone here, what is and has been going on. Perhaps my detractors can call Mr Carter nasty names and ban him from their precious sites too?

Disease control is important, and particular attention should be given to septoria, brown rust and eyespot. In the past couple of years, strobilurin use has improved brown rust control.
Growing Cordiale
A short, stiff early variety with good grain quality, Cordiale does have some disease weaknesses which need managing.
Susceptible to septoria and brown rust, Cordiale needs a robust fungicide programme and often has to have earlier application of spring inputs, due to its rapid development from GS30 onwards.
Mr James agrees. "Whatever you grow in the south, it needs to be of exportable quality. That means going for either a Group 1 or a Group 3 wheat - what you don't want is huge heaps of feed wheat."
Committed early drillers may decide to stick with Claire, believes Bill Angus of Nickerson. "Claire is still the gold standard for biscuit wheat. It's a consistent performer and is proven in the market place.
"What's more, its septoria resistance is as robust now as when it first came into the market."
Growing Robigus
Robigus should be grown as a first wheat and needs a robust fungicide programme as it now has problems with both yellow and brown rust.
Its ability to retain tillers means that lodging may develop if it is sown early or high seed rates are used.
Rising input costs will make some of the decisions easier, he says. "If you were struggling to get the milling specification, even with the use of extra nitrogen, then it's going to be far easier and less risky to switch to a high yielding feed wheat."
Mike Ayers of Frontier confirms the requirement for the Manchester plant is for a feed wheat specification of 15% moisture and 72kg/hl specific weight.
"All feed varieties are suitable at this stage," he says. "We are not stipulating certain varieties or excluding any."
"We've seen some very good introductions to the feed wheats in the last few years. Oakley is an obvious choice, but there's also Humber and Timber, plus others which suit different sowing date considerations."
Another bioethanol facility which is due to come on stream by the beginning of 2010 is Vivergo in Hull, a joint venture between BP, ABF and DuPont.
Animal feed outlets will also be competing for supplies, he adds. "It may have reduced in size as a market, but there's still quite a requirement for animal feed."

Another vendor I met who was also doing well (anyone I spoke to seemed to be doing okay but then, I couldn’t actually speak to many) was Irma Castillo of Viva Bags of California. Irma was perfectly delightful. She was older than most of the exhibitors there but her line of leather bags fit right in. She told me a charming story of how she started. She’d been with what had been the company for about sixteen years before she took it over. She’d worked as a book keeper for the original owner for eight years. Then he sold it to a Japanese group so she continued to keep books for them for another eight years. She kept pestering them that if they ever wanted to sell it, she was interested. In the end, they sold it to her. She’s small, fewer than 12 employees, but she cuts and sews everything in Los Angeles and furthermore, says she sees no reason to change things. I had a picture of her but don’t know what happened to it. I liked her bags, nice quality too. If I can ever spend time visiting factories in LA, I plan on visiting her. She was just the sweetest lady, very down to earth, more like a stitcher than a company owner. If you’re looking for a line of domestic leather shoulder bags, I hope you’ll consider picking up her line.

Others see jilbab as a simple extra meadow abaya, a robe-like simple loose-fitting dress up to your ankles with wide sleeves. The jilbab is usually without any form of decoration.
Most sisters choose dark colored jilbabs to make them the least noticeable. The jilbabs come in many different types of fabric, you have the thinner versions and the thicker versions. It is a very easy to wear garment, to match with your shoes or with a nice wrap or a nice bag. For the sisters who want to dress as sober as possible, this is the perfect item of clothing.
From an Islamic point of view, this is one of the most useful items of clothing indispensable for the Muslim woman. Very easy to wear, easy to put on and easy to make a good outfit!

Today, I stand before you filled with pride when Sunshine Holdings is being recognised as one of Business Today's TOP 30 companies. Sunshine celebrated 50 years of responsible entrepreneurship last year and it has been hearteningnglomerate, from our humble beginnings. Although our beginnings, 50 years ago, was in healthcare, we have now risen to be the number two private healthcare distributor in the nation. We have since diversified into agribusiness through the acquisition of the plantation company, Watawala Plantation in the 1990s. Then, we added on the value added consumer goods with our famous tea brands Zesta, Watawala Tea and Ran Kahata with our well-known pharmacy chain Healthguard. As a responsible entrepreneur, we make sure that our healthcare products reach 2,500 pharmacies islandwide. Our surgical products are used in every surgery that is performed in the country. There are about 2.5 billion cups of tea consumed every year that keeps our brand promise of freshness and quality. We cater to approximately 4,000 loyal customers a day at our Healthguard outlets across Colombo, and continue to strive to raise the bar in terms of customer expectations in the health, beauty and wellness sphere.
Sunshine Holdings now gives rise to an economic value of 21 billion rupees, as of the last financial year; and generated one billion rupees in taxes to the Government of Sri Lanka. We supply 6.6 megawatts of power to the National Grid through our mini hydro projects. We are the largest palm oil producer in the country, producing over 11 million kilos of crude palm oil each year. With our recent partnership and foreign direct investment from Singapore, we commenced a state-of-the-art dairy farm with 1,600 cows in Lonach Estate. This dairy farm not only changed an economically unviable tea estate into a productive place, but, within two years of commencement, we now produce over 20,000 litres of fresh milk. Milk produced at our farm Watawala Dairy is recognised for its superior quality and is purchased by leading dairy brands.
Our businesse such as price controls affecting our healthcare business; unpredictable weather patterns alternating between drought and flooding impacting our agribusiness; and the declining consumer sentiment impacting the entire consumer market. Whatever the challenges maybe, at Sunshine, we continue to perform and even outperform the market. We believe it is the spirit of responsible entrepreneurship that leads us there. We look forward to working with you, our respected peers and stakeholders, to keep the flag flying for many more generations to come.
For the past two years, our tea brand Watawala Tea has received the SLIM Nielsen People's Choice Award for being the best hot beverage in the country. For Sunshine, what we achieve has always come second to how we achieve it. This year, we were recognised as one of the ten most admired companies of Sri Lanka, by the International Chamber of Commerce and CIMA from elevation of over 180 companies both listed and unlisted. I would like to nowBusiness Today for their awards 2017-2018 and congratulate all the awardees who are honoured, and stand amongst us.

en | N/A | N/A | 'The Opposition' director feels fortunate to tell story
By Jon Arnold and Sebastian Garcia
Things fell into place for the director of a new film in ESPN's "Soccer Stories" series during the production of "The Opposition."
When director Ezra Edelman heard the story of Chile's final 1973 World Cup qualifier, he knew it was a story he wanted to tell.
Now, he along with co-director Jeffrey Plunkett are bringing the story of Chile's match played without an opponent to American audiences. "The Opposition" will air on ESPN on Tuesday night at 7 p.m. ET. The film focuses on the events after a 1973 coup carried out by Augusto Pinochet, who turned the national stadium into a venue for torture and murder.
The USSR boycotted the second leg of a UEFA-CONMEBOL playoff that would decide the final spot in the 1974 World Cup, but despite a FIFA investigation Chile qualified with a goal against no one in the very same national stadium in Santiago.
"I had no connections to the stadium, but do these fans know what happened here? Are they aware that we spoke to some of the people that were prisoners there and they obviously have strong feelings about that stadium?"
After reading about the situation in David Goldblatt's revered soccer history book "The Ball is Round," Edleman and Plunkett sought to explore both the sporting and the political implications. Luckily for the crew, things fell into place.
"We were very fortunate. The idea might have come reading a book, but the question for us was: How are we going to do this?" Edelman said. "We thought we would have one big trip to Chile and then we looked at the calendar and we realized there was a week in which there was a World Cup qualifying match and a few days later, the 40th anniversary of the military coup.
Edelman said after the U.S. team, he'll be pulling for Chile's new generation at the World Cup in Brazil.
The film, packaged with along with another of ESPN's "Soccer Stories" films, will reair across various ESPN networks after its inital run. |

Count me as one who left the ranks of teachers. Teaching in AZ is a disaster. It's pretty hard to justify staying in the profession. I spent a pretty large percentage of my paltry paycheck on classroom supplies. My school wouldn't even buy books to use in our English classroom! I managed - through Donors Choose - and others to get over $5,000 donated to buy textbooks and novels. Students were subjected to testing 5 or more times a year. And the plethora of charter schools (some ARE good - but most aren't) only further waters down the quality of instruction. But some of those schools are making BANK. And now we have Doug Ducey and Diane Douglas? Hang on, kids - education in AZ is going to get MUCH worse.
I think that there can be some adjustments to the standards. Maybe. However, here is some of the wording from the AZ CCSS for reading in high school:.
There are more, obviously, but I honestly don't see how anyone can argue that these are bad in any way. I think we can AT LEAST expect that by graduation students can have facility with these skills. |

Because `categoryName` is optional, this can lead to oversights like https://github.com/phetsims/vegas/issues/98.
Should `categoryName` be required? Should it default to something that is not `null`, so that all sounds get put in some "default" category? Is there a reason why every SoundGenerator should NOT be in a category?
`addSoundGenerator` calls. Sims are not using `categoryName`, common code is using it inconsistently. Seems like a good argument for making `categoryName` required, and standardizing on some categories other that 'ui-sounds'.

This came up61649 and so I figured it might be time to finally fix this and making it IEEE 754 compliant, also making it inline with ARM64 (at least for inputs that have a well-defined result).
Leaving it in draft as I believe the `CORINFO_HELP_*` needs to be updated for x86 and I need to finish doing testing of some edge cases + adding additional validation tests here.

Notably, the unchecked versions of `Double -> UInt64` (and therefore `Double -> UInt32`) needs to be tweaked to account for saturation and so we'll see the following failures still:

en | N/A | N/A | The parish of Acton Burnell, eight miles southeast of Shrewsbury, lies in a semi-circle around Acton Burnell Park. The name 'Burnell' comes from Robert Burnell, first a clerk in the service of Prince Edward, the eldest son of King Henry III. In 1260 he was involved with the Prince's affairs in Wales and the Marches. He was at the Prince's side at his succession, became Chancellor in September 1274 and a few months later was elected Bishop of Bath and Wells. He was a statesman, a clever and capable man, and probably leaning more towards the law than to God as his political record implies. Certainly he was ambitious, but not selfishly so. His family obviously counted for much, as most probably did the people of his estates. (It is said he had possessions in nineteen counties and owned eighty-two manors! |

In Reading students have practiced the digraphs, ch/wh/th/sh. Students have also worked on their short vowels A,E, and I books. We have reviewed sight words and have turned words we see often into Snap Words. Students Read Every Day and have an opportunity to read to a partner, a teacher, or to the class. Students took home a Sight Word Assessment where we tested their sight word skills. Feel free to make sight word cards for the students to practice the words they do not know at home with. The school has added the language portion of IXL to access at home. Please try it out!
Throughout the curriculum, we have explored various community helpers and their functions. We have made healthy and unhealthy signs that takes the students own snack and lunch and discuss the health benefits!The final project students are working at is at home with you. A presentation describing the community helper of their choice. Each students took a book walk exploring various community helpers. Now, students get to do further research on the community helper of their choice. Students will present their Community Helpers on February 4th, 2018.

The idea is that my mom gets to show off for all her friends. The same girlfriend is also planning a shower, with a couple of other friends, so I know this MOB thing is definately not a shower. We were most of the way through a bottle of wine when it came up, so I have to say I am totally unclear on any other details,(or heard of) such a thing?It does sound like fun to me – my mom's friends are a kick – and I really don't need another shower or more presents. Maybe the idea is that they bring my mom presents?
That is such an adorable idea…. I have never heard of this, but why not start the tradition?

That is the number Quantum Support Services in Gippsland has received for family violence incidents so far this financial year.
If the trend continues, it will be a 25 per cent increase from the last financial year.
“We’ve got an issue,” Quantum coordinator of housing, homelessness and community support Adrian Terranova said.
Today marks the end of the global campaign, 16 Ways in 16 Days of Activism, to stop violence against women.
But White Ribbon ambassadors, family violence workers and frontline emergency services are calling on the community to continue the conversation.
“It’s a hidden problem within the community that’s never been spoken about previously,” White Ribbon ambassador Grant Coulthard said.
About one in three women across the world experience some form of violencesince the age of 15.
A further one in four have experienced emotional abuse by a former or current partneays domesticFamily violence is just home front terrorism – it is just hijacking their (victim’s) own personal lives,” Quantum senior family violence worker Nesli Cassar said.
Ms Cassar has been working in the sector since 1989, supporting women experiencing or escaping family violence.
Her team provides crisis support to victims of family violence, identifying their needs, assessing their risks and planning safely for their next steps.
This could involve moving women and children into alternate accommodation or a refuge centre.
Alternatively, it could involve changing locks, providing security cameras or funding counselling services so they can remain at home.
“We will give her the information, we will provide everything in our power to show her what is available to her,” Ms Cassar said.
Quantum provides up to 30 different programs – including homelessness and support – to Gippsland’s most vulnerable people.
But Mr Terranova said stamping out violence against women was not up to one single agency.
“We’ve got issues and we’ve got to all work together to resolve this,” he said.
Latrobe Valley topped a state list of family violence incidents between June 2014 and June 2015, with a rate of 3099.8 per 100,000 population.
With a busy period looming over Christmas and the new year, Ms Cassar and Mr Terranova have one message.
“Is it too simplistic to say, be kind to each other?” Mr Terranova said.
“Is it too simplistic to say, ‘we all need values that are driven that uphold people’s humans rights’?
“Family violence, homelessness, it breaches people’s very human rights. |

Mike Zito had already released three successful studio albums before joining forces with The Royal Southern Brotherhood for nearly three years, leaving them recently to focus on his own music. The Wheel is superbly talented. In addition to Mike Zito on guitar, the band features powerhouse sax player Jimmy Carpenter, Rob Lee on drums, and holding down the funk is Scot Sutherland on bass. Mike is a no-nonsense musician who comes to play, and play they did. Jimmy Carpenter nearly stole the show with his dynamic, expertly timed playing. Before the show Jimmy told me that he plays like he's playing lead guitar, and this was clear as he and Mike traded licks throughout the night.
After a lengthly sound check, Mike sat down with Rock, Roots, & Blues - Live for a great interview; touching on many topics including his upcoming album, his mentoring of such artists as Samantha Fish, his relationship with Johnny Winter, and the artists that helped shape his playing.

Diversity. How many elves of color have you seen portrayed?Not many, if any at all I’d wager. And this is a shame. And not how the multiverse really is. If you want to play a Hispanic, blue skinned, winged, transgender elf, why should you not be able too?
When describing certain characters however I may go into more detail of how they look. For example, one of (if not THE) main Swaft characters I will be introducing to you has “Nordic” features. He is obviously not Nordic, but that is how he looks. I offer the description just to put an image in your mind. But OF COURSE, as mentioned above the Swafts and all other races are culturally, and sexually diverse, as is the entirety of the multiverse!

Unemployment insurance will be $200/week to start and then shift to 70% wage replacement
First, if the bill passes, federal unemployment benefits will drop from $600 per week to $200 per week. Then, starting in October, the enhanced unemployment insurance would shift from the same amount given to everyone to a percentage of your former salary: Specifically, up to 70% of a worker's previous wage, including a maximum of $500 per week from the federal government plus regular state unemployment benefits.
Republicans had considered lowering the benefits to just $100 per week, sources told CNBC.
The HEALS Act would send anotherup to $2,400 to couples setting the same qualifications as the the CARES Act did in March. That is,, and proposal, families can receive an additional $500 per dependent of any age. The first round of checks under the CARES Act had limited eligibility to those younger than age 17, cutting out college students and adult dependents.
The HEALS Act does not include the stricter income limits on stimulus check recipients that the GOP had previously discussnvisioned stimulus checks focused on "those making $40,000 a year and less in the hospitality industry."
To get a sense of how much you could receive under the proposal, use our stimulus check calculator below.
An extended Payment Protection Program
The HEALS Act reflects those priorities and would set aside $190 billion for PPP loans. Businesses eligible to apply would need to have fewer than 300 employees and would need to have seen their revenue fall by more than 50%. The bill would set aside another $100 billion for meet specific criteria that have also seen a more than 50% loss in revenue. |

en | N/A | N/A | In the last issue or RWR® Holly Jacobs reported on her return to school and taking ceramics. She liked it. It improved her writing. It improved her life. Her story is only one of many describing the benefits of life-long learning.
Google “try new things” and you’ll get a raft of articles, some scientific, some opinion, some psychological and some medical. From all of them, you’ll get encouragement to try something new. Here’s a brief summary.
You grow as a person
You’ll become more adept at every day skills, saving time and reducing stress.
If you’re not learning something new you stagnate.
Learning something new improves your self-esteem.
You meet new people. As old friends drop away through life changes, it is essential to cultivate new friendships.
You become a more interesting person
From a scientific point of view.
Learning new things changes the white matter in your brain, improving performance.
The more you learn, the easier it becomes. By stimulating neurons in the brain, more neural pathways are formed and messages from one part of the brain to the other travel more quickly.
You make connections between different skill and knowledge areas. In other words, the more you learn, the more you learn. The more you exercise your brain, the better it works.
You adapt better to change. In our world where change is happening at an unprecedented rate, the ability to adapt is priceless.
You may decrease your chances of developing dementia, or, at the very least, slowing its progress.
Let’s look at these benefits as they apply to writers.
The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron explores a number of ways writers can become more creative, productive, and happy. Among her chapters are:
Recovering a sense of Identity.
Surely learning new things plays into that sense of identity. You are not the person you where at 15 or 25 or even 55. You are a life-long learner, an interesting person.
Recovering a Sense of Power.
Having more skills and information at your disposal must confer a sense of power.
Recovering a sense of Possibility.
Once you’ve mastered one new skill you are open to the possibility of learning another, and another. Your mind is open to new experiences, your senses are tuned to notice the world around you. With a sense of possibility, your writerly antennae are aquiver.
Recovering a Sense of Abundance.
With an ever expanding circle of friends, days filled with satisfaction of learning and striving, your creative well is filled—abundance.
Recovering a Sense of Connection.
Taking a class, joining a new group, reading outside your comfort level. All of these things connect you to the ever-changing world around you.
Recovering a Sense of Autonomy.
Fear is an unwelcome companion to many writers. It sits there on your shoulder whispering that “you’re not good enough. You can’t do this. You will fail.” By learning new skills, you whack Fear in the solar plexus. You have an A+ on your paper, or your musical composition or your woodworking project. Proof positive that you can. You are free to pursue your writing career without constantly worrying that you can’t.
I did a very small new thing this week. I downloaded the Libby app to my tablet in order to borrow electronic books from my local library. It worked! A miracle considering how many computer glitches I’ve encountered in the past month.
As a result, I feel empowered, connected, and my self-esteem has risen. Such an amazing lift to my spirits from a very small accomplishment.
Have a happy week. Go learn a new thing.

Heading into my final round of editing this week. I’m very excited and scared to death at the same time. This book, the third in the Prospect series, has been a long time in the incubator. Now that it’s ready for publication, I want to get it “right.”
I’ve already made several passes through the ms on the computer, now I’ve printed it out for a final read. My twentieth century brain “sees” things on paper that it misses on a screen.
Aside from the usual eye out for typos and inconsistencies, like changing hair colour or a week with two Mondays, I want the story to engage the reader right from the start. I’ve been studying opening lines in my favourite books, reading advice columns and watching “flog a pro,” on Writer Unboxed. Ray Rhamey writes a regular feature on that blog where he quotes the opening paragraph or two of a best seller and asks readers if they’d turn the page. It’s a fun game, but I’m often at odds with him. Rhamey wants lots of tension and action in the opening lines. I understand that. It’s a great hook. Yet, when I check out my favourite stories, they often begin slowly, setting the scene, hinting at a problem but not diving straight in on the first page. Many books on my keeper shelf begin with dialogue, which may seem innocuous but speaks to character and motivation.
Advice for writers always emphasises the importance of the opening line. It should ask a story question, hint at the protagonist’s character, introduce the setting and exhibit the author’s “voice.” All in ten words or less.
I think lots of writer advice books are geared to high-concept stories – thrillers, action novels, suspense; the type of book, that when turned into a movie, opens with a gun fight or a car chase.
Romantic movies usually start more gently. “You’ve Got Mail,” begins with a long sequence of shots setting the location in Seattle. “Casablanca” starts with a map and ominous music while a voice over sets the scene. In a book, that would be omniscient author. “Titanic” is a sepia scene of passengers waving from the deck of a cruise ship. There are other examples, but you get the idea – no gun fights.
My book starts with setting, gold rush town in 1888. The heroine is excited about a new business venture. She has risked her inheritance. She has a sister.
There’s more, of course, but if we were to follow Ray Rhamey’s model, that is all you would get before he asked the question “would you turn the page?”
Over to you, dear readers. How do you like your opening lines in a romance? Would you read the next line after this opening?
On a hot sunny morning Louisa Graham stood on the boardwalk of Prospect’s main street and pointed with pride to the brand new sign over the photography studio. “What do you think?” She craved her sister’s approval.
Twists and Knots in Yarn
February 14, 2018 / Alice Valdal / 2 Comments
On Valentine’s Day is seems appropriate to talk about expressions of love–handmade love. As witnessed by the response to last week’s blog, quilters love their craft . This week, let’s hear from the knitters and crocheters.
I’m more adept with needles and yarn than I am with needle and thread. As usual the impetus for my projects is a baby in the family. This little blanket is not much to look at, although I tried to dress it up with a picot border, but it is made of a yarn that babies love. It is very, very soft and the little ones always reach for it when they want to snuggle down.
This was a more ambitious project and one of my favourites. I loved the soft texture of the yarn and warm cream colour. I did not love sewing it all together! Each square is made up of four little squares. I had eighty short seams, then twenty long seams to do, then a border. By the time I finished I was vowing never to tackle that project again.
For the next project I used a technique where each little square is attached to the next little square as you go along! There is a term for this but I can’t remember what it is. I’ve tried Google, but they only help when you can tell them what you’re looking for. J Anyone here remember the name of this technique?
And while I’m on the subject of baby projects, here are a couple of crocheted blankets I made to welcome newborns to the family. The pattern is all printed on a grid so I had to get a magnifying light to read it. Very easy to lose count of the stitches. The one with the pig I did twice as the first effort was lost in a house fire. I thought, if I could replace at least one of the items destroyed it might help to ease the family’s pain.
Not all my projects are for babies. Here is an afghan I started to use up the leftovers in my stash. My friend persuaded me to put it in the fair, where it won a “special mention.” The judges loved the colours but noticed that I’d run out of yarn on one stripe and had to substitute another. Just like with quilting, I like to use up my left over bits.
Anyone else want to share? I’d love to see pictures of your favourite projects.
Do you like to read about household arts in your favourite books? I enjoy weaving a bit about my hobbies into my books. In “The Man for Her,” the heroine is adept with needle and thread.
And please, if you know the name of that technique for knitting one square onto another, please tell me.
Happy Valentine’s to all my readers.

Are you a quilter? My friend is a first-class practitioner of the art. Here is one of her machine-stitched prize-winners at our Fall Fair. See the blue ribbon in the lower left corner?
In my heart, I’m a quilter, but my skill level sets me as rank amateur. Still, I keep trying. I love quilts for special occasions. Here are a couple I made for new babies in my family. I get along all right in putting the pieces together and in doing the stitching – I prefer hand stitching to machine stitching, but I really have trouble finishing the edges. I’ve tried adding a border, turning the bottom up over the top and turning the top down over the bottom. All come out as less than picture perfect.
The examples on this page are made of new material and designed as artwork, that’s the modern way. But what really appeals to me about quilting is the old-fashioned notion of using up scraps of worn-out items to create something new and useful and beautiful. That was the impetus behind the pioneer woman’s quilt-making. That and the quilting bee, I would imagine. An opportunity to spend an afternoon with other women, catching up on the neighbourhood news, exchanging recipes, and having a cup of tea together would seem like a vacation to our hard-working foremothers. And at the end of the day they had several finished quilts and a perfect excuse for taking the day off from their other household chores.
I recently cleared out several bags of fabric scraps that are never going to make it into a quilt of mine, but I’ve kept enough that if I’m ever struck with a burning desire to frustrate myself again, I’ve got bits of red velvet for the heart of a log cabin design.
One of my favourite examples of quilting is a wall hanging my mother made years ago. She used bits of fabric from my old clothes. I can look at that hanging and see the blue velvet of a flower-girl dress I wore when I was five, or the embroidered white organdy of my graduation dress, or the red velvet she remade many times as a Christmas dress for her daughter. I also see one of her favourite blouses and something in mustard yellow that I hope neither of us ever wore as a garment. To me, this hanging represents the spirit of the quilt; practical, beautiful, and glowing with love.
But, our foremothers were creative as well as practical. They could have just cut out squares and sewn them together to achieve the practical and useful portion of the equation. However, they looked around them, and just like an artist in paint, transferred the everyday of their lives into patterns that reflected the country they inhabited. “Duck’s Foot in the Mud,” must have come from a woman living near a slough, where she saw the tracks of a waddling duck on a muddy bank. Or how about “flying geese?” I live on a migration path for Canada Geese and their twice-yearly honking and long vee formations always stir my soul. Of course that shape belongs in a quilt.
For years I had a hand-made “grandmother’s flower garden” quilt on my bed. It looked a lot like this one, with the yellow centres and single row of matching petals against a white background. Now it is worn threadbare, the colours faded, but the quilting stitches are still intact. I keep it in a memory corner. Maybe one day part of it will end up in a memoir hanging of my own.
And speaking of memories. I had an idea for a project for the Fall Fair this year. I took a bunch of my old prize ribbons (I win prizes for my roses, not my quilts) and wove them together to make this colourful hanging, the little one on the right with the “well done” ribbon. No prize—my imagination continues to outrun my skill—but lots of fun and a great conversation piece.

Believing that the Earth is our god, government, economy and culture – all wrapped into one big institution – that is simple common sense! When we draw our last breath together, all the functions of living will be mixed together in that one breath. There won’t be separate powers anymore.
It’s not so bad if you ignore the upheavals and century storms and waves of extinctions. Most of us haven’t made a decision about what do to. The climate is changing and we get through another day.
Individuals in the media-saturated west have mostly made the decision to make no decision. Our god, government, economy and culture – has made the same no-decision. The biggest institutions are nearly silent on the question of climate change. It is not an issue in the Presidential politics of the United States – despite 900 tornados this year, and floods, fires and heat-waves of biblical proportions.
The heads of the nation-states do not comment on the fact that the air, and water and even the ground we stand on – are now radically changing. (Evo Morales, the native-American President of Bolivia is the only one that comes to mind.) And yet, national identity is one thing we cling to. It is very Tea Party to say, “America is the Greatest Nation!” – but we all go along with it.
Why? Soon millions of us will be fleeing the coastal cities. As the sea rises and the waves get bigger, will we first and foremost be national citizens? No – the first thing will be: Save our loved ones from drowning, and seek higher ground. Will each dry hill be its own self-congratulatory country? Let’s go to the common sense again: No, things will be a lot more chaotic then that. It’s more likely that a world with a refugee species won’t be made of nations anymore.
We shouldn’t be made of nations now. We should be made of what we are really made of – the Earth. Nations, religions, economies, and cultures should no longer be separate, defensive and competitive. There is a reason that climate change is not mentioned by the leaders. We are already experiencing a kind of false drowning – in these many systems of belief that demand our absolute allegiance. These traditions keep us in our dull inactivity, without access to our own common sense. This good citizenship will kill us all!
It would be a giant leap for mankind to move forward from these old habits, wouldn’t it? We keep hoping that a new awareness of the level of emergency will rise out of these old institutions, but we can’t wait anymore. Now we must listen to our common sense. And that means getting down on our knees and praying to the wind.
Then we rise and receive our instructions from the Earth. Call our neighbors, call our friends. Run as fast as we can to a coal-fired power plant and shut it down.KePrimary Dealers Are Buying Corporates, A Bullish Sign For Stocks

en | N/A | N/A | A larger volume of CMBS loans are being issued with interest-only (IO) structures, but this rise may put the CMBS market in a dicey position when the economy reaches its next downturn. To put things in perspective, interest-only loan issuance reached $19.5 billion in Q3 2018, six times greater than fully amortizing loan issuance. In comparison, nearly 80% of all CMBS issued in the FY 2006 and FY 2007 was either interest-only or partially interest-only loans.
In theory, the popularity of interest-only loans makes sense, because they provide lower debt service payments and free up cash flow for borrowers. But these benefits are partially offset by some additional risks in the interest-only structure, with the borrower’s inability to deleverage during the loan’s life perhaps being the biggest concern. Additionally, borrowers who opt for a partial interest-only structure incur a built-in “payment shock” when the payments switch from interest-only to principal and interest.
Why are we seeing a spike in interest-only issuance if the loans are inherently riskier than fully amortizing loans? Commercial real estate values are at all-time highs; interest rates are still historically low; expectations for future economic and rent growth are fundamentally sound, and competition for loans on stabilized, income-producing properties is higher than ever. Furthermore, the refinancing pipeline is minuscule compared to the 2015-2017Wall of Maturities, so more capital is chasing fewer deals. This causes lenders to augment loan proceeds and loosen underwriting parameters, including offering more interest-only deals.
Then and Now: Why the Rise in 10 Debt Has Raised Concerns
Between Q1 2010 and Q1 2012, fully amortizing loans dominated new issuance, with its market share amassing as much as 80.4% (Q1 2012). Interest-only issuance was nearly equal to the fully amortizing tally by Q3 2012, as interest-only debt totaled $5.10 billion, only $510 million less than fully amortized loans. Interest-only issuance would soon overtake fully amortizing loan issuance by Q2 2017, as its volume skyrocketed from $5.3 billion in Q1 2017 to $19.5 billion in Q3 2018.
Prior to the 2008 recession, the CMBS market experienced a similar upward trend in interest-only issuance. By 02 2006, interest-only loans represented 57.6% of new issuance, outpacing fully amortizing notes by 38.86%. The difference in issuance between interest-only and fully amortizing loans continued to widen as the market approached the recession, eventually reaching a point where interest-only debt represented 78.8% of new issuance in 01 2007. Even though the prevalence of interest-only debt is mounting, why would this be a concern in today’s market?
IO Loans Are More Likely to Become Delinquent
Interest-only loans have historically been more susceptible to delinquency when the economy falters. Immediately following the recession, delinquency rates across all CMBS loans moved upward. Once the economy began to show signs of recovery, the delinquency rate for fully amortized loans began to decline, while interest-only and partially interest-only delinquencies continued to rise. In July 2012, the delinquency rate for fully amortizing loans was sitting at 5.07% while the interest-only reading reached 14.15%. The outsized delinquency rate for interest-only loans during this time period is not surprising, since many of the five-year and seven-year loans originated in the years prior to the recession were maturing. Many of the borrowers were unable to meet their payments due to significant declines in property prices paired with loan balances that had never amortized.
Over time, the stabilization of the CMBS market led to subsequent declines in the delinquency rates for both the interest-only and partial interest-only sectors. The delinquency rate for interest-only loans clocked in at 3.17% in December 2018, which is down nearly 11 % from its peak. Delinquency rates across all amortization types have failed to return to pre-crisis levels.
Just because a large chunk of interest-only debt became delinquent during the previous recession does not mean the same is destined to happen in the next downturn.
Measuring the likelihood of a loan turning delinquent is typically done by calculating its debt-service coverage ratio (DSCR). Between 2010 and 2015, the average DSCR across all interest-only loans was a relatively high 1.94x. Since 2016, the average DSCR for interest-only debt has fallen slightly. If the average DSCR for interest-only loans continues to decline, the inherent risk those loans pose to the CMBS market will become more concerning.
The average DSCR for newly issued interest-only loans in March 2019 registered at 1.61 x, which is about 0.35x higher than the minimum DSCR recommended by the Commercial Real Estate Finance Council (CREFC). In 2015, CREFC released a study analyzing the impact of prudential and securities regulation across the CRE finance sector. In the study, CREFC cited a 1.25x-DSCR as the cutoff point between relatively healthy and unhealthy loans. The value was chosen through loan-level analysis and anecdotal information from conversations with members.
The figure below maps the DSCR for both fully amortizing and interest-only loans issued between 2004 and 2008. Notice that toward the end of 2006, the average DSCR hugged the 1.25x cutoff level recommended by CREFC. Beyond 2006, the average DSCR for interest-only loans oscillated between healthy and concerning levels.
The second figure focuses on CMBS 2.0 loans, where a similar trend can be spotted. After roughly converting interes-tonly loan DSCRs to amortizing DSCRs using underwritten NOI levels and assuming 30-year amortization, the average DSCR for interest-only loans issued between 2010 and mid- 2014 (2.04x) is much greater than that for fully amortizing issuance (1.78x). While part of this trend can be attributed to looser underwriting standards and/or growing competition, the other driver of the trend is due to selection bias. Lenders will typically give interest-only loans to stronger properties and require amortization from weaker properties, so it makes sense that they would also require less P&I coverage for those interest-only loans on lower-risk properties.
What Lies Ahead for the IO Sector?
Rising interest-only loan issuance paired with a drop in average DSCR may spell for a messy future for the CMBS industry if the US economy encounters another recession. At this point, CMBS market participants can breath a little easier since interest-only performance has remained above the market standard. However, this trend is worth monitoring as the larger volume could portend a loosening in underwriting standards.

en | N/A | N/A | The European Union is failing to meet its stated goals. Inspired and claimed as “a project for peace” it was always, in practice, a quest for ever more centralised power, regardless of the wishes of its citizens. As its strategic failures become ever more obvious dissatisfaction grows. We doubt that the EU can survive in its present form much longer.
This blog reveals evidence to show that the EU is on the wrong path. The Project is run in the interests of an elite web of politicians, administrators, bosses, unions and lobbyists – who are determined to continue on the current path despite the wreckage already created and in prospect. Their only major success has been to convince many people of its high moral purpose and beneficial outcomes. However, many are suffering unnecessary hardship, in contradiction of its supposed values.
For a full list of articles click the monthly archive drop-down menu. Many are linked from our menu list of Themes.
We invite (moderated) reader comments – please keep the debate polite.
Summary – revised in May 2019
We conclude that in every case the EU has failed to improve on the post-war political and economic structures that preceded it and has undermined better, proven practices. It has created a lop-sided trade system and worsened conditions for many countries and citizens within and beyond its borders. At best it can be said that there have been worse systems, and some member states have experience of those, but there are also better ones that the EU has failed to emulate or improve upon.
When the UK Government decided to ask voters whether they wished to continue as members we began to examine what had been achieved by the EU and where it would lead. A majority could not see how membership had benefited them or was likely to, so they voted to leave. Had they been asked if they wished to lose their jobs and be poorer they would certainly have answered no. These fears were dramatised but Referendum voters expected the Government to get the best deal it could and manage the consequences. Many still expect Brexit to happen but the Government and most MPs have since prevaricated or reneged on their promises.
Latest Updates – revised in May 2019
In the negotiations for Brexit the EU adopted a fixed position, a mandate, and did not give an inch, or even a centimetre. The UK side responded with bluff over-optimism and a demonstrable lack of comparable competence.
In January Prime Minister, May, put forward a draft (or daft) Withdrawal Agreement, which was trashed by Parliament. As we write it is still the “only deal on the table” apart from no agreement but Remainers and Leavers have both shown in the European election that they reject her compromise, preferring overwhelmingly to stay or go on simpler terms. Good luck to her successor with that brief.
In 2018 we looked at some of the issues surrounding the negotiations and delved more deeply into the weaknesses of the EU. In several posts, beginning with Overtime Lords, we challenge some of the themes we read in EU documents, quoting as necessary in support of our arguments. We have now supplemented our collection with a set of theme-based posts, which can be reached from the top or side-bar menus.

Interesting site – well done and was wondering what is your political background?
Thank you for your comment. I’m not sure what sort of answer you expect to your question though. I have never belonged to a political party. I have taken to social media to protest against the EU for two reasons mainly (and many lesser ones): it is aiming for a supra-national government that cannot be dismissed by its citizens, however it performs, and it continues to obstruct a more community-oriented collaboration among European nations, which might make a better shot at bring economic and other benefits to more people.
It is not every day one encounters a new Eurosceptic blog site so was wondering what your political history was?
You can read up my profile on The Harrogate Agenda website.
Are you yet familiar with The Harrogate Agenda and if you are what are your thoughts on it?
Finally have you read Flexcit and do you in principle support it?
I’ve heard of the Harrogate Agenda but not studied it in detail. I like the idea but am concerned at the practicalities of bring it about.
I’ve dipped into Flexcit and support what I have read.

Niall, This blog has two authors so I thought I might add my response to my brother’s. As a youngster I was very left wing but, like many others, became aware that we must address the world as it is and not as we wish it were. “For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple and wrong,” according to H L Mencken (roughly). Grand designs seldom, if ever, work and are certain to fail if they don’t adapt to evidence and changes in the real world. The EU is further proof of this.
I agree with you that decisions should be devolved as close to those affected by them as is practical and that competing administrations should lead to innovative solutions providing fair, efficient and effective government. We must be careful that higher-level decisions don’t get hog-tied and then adopt QMV across incompatible interests, as the EU does.
Further comment on your proposals are more appropriate on your own site. I can’t seem to do this from my smart phone, which is all I have with me this week.
What is the actual aim of your blog?
We aim to draw people’s attentions to the fundamental flaws in the EU’s design, how it excludes influence from its citizens and, because of the entrenched ideology, will not be reformed. It performs badly and is sustained only by myths and propaganda. Worst of all it prevents the formation of a useful European community.
Well as you well know we won the referendum and so the BIG issue now is what happens next and to ensure the Brexit offered is doable in the time available,workable and causes us as little grief as possible. This is of course the aim of the blog EU Referendum where I first came across you and your blog.
As to the long term future for the continent of Europe (because it is so important to differentiate between the EU and Single Market of 28, the EEA of 32 and Europe of 51 countries) this is covered in Flexcit and ultimately sees an European Economic Space controlled by UNECE in Geneva.
The more blogs working together to support the above the better.
Thanks for your comment. I agree that we need as much support as possible during the Brexit negotiations to ensure that there will be no back-sliding towards Remain as things get difficult. They will get difficult because the EU feels it has to defend itself against the risk of contagion and so has to make it seem that the UK is being punished. They have little confidence that their project can hold up on its merits, perhaps because it has so few.
And, as you say, there are now more important international agencies which could oversee a more democratic and successful European project.
Thank you for following our blog! Are you in Bulgaria? What do you think of our views of the EU? We are deeply sceptical of the supposed benefits of the EU, mainly because of their ideology of the super-state and the lack of democracy.
Good luck with your blog; we will keep in touch.
Just found your blog and hope in the near future to submit my own theory of what is actually happening and why. The evidence I have gathered suggests that ultimately the EU via a joint effort with Islam wishes to either have a shared project of an EU/ Arab alliance with the combined power, resourse and financial capital to compete with the USA and China, or use the same alliance to join a NEW World Order. No doubt the evidence could be interpreted in different ways but it does not negate the facts relating to what is actually happening in Europe. Please let me know if you are interested. I have been trying to get this information in the public domain for a long time but not with great success. I am not an Intellectual or university graduate but investigate the facts via a prism of common sense. I submit that I may have got caught up in my own bubble however your scrutiny of the evidence would be valuable to me even if you do not want to print.
I’m mildly curious to see your evidence as it seems a big stretch to have the EU conspiring with ‘Islam”. First, many EU member states have a distaste for Moslems and, more generally, for Islam. Second, the EU is an organisation run by people while Islam is the generic title for a religion with many adherents who disagree with one another. Who represents ‘Islam’ in such a conspiracy? Or what Islamic organisation? Third, while I agree that the EU seeks to compete with the US and China, it does so explicitly not subversively. One of their claims for ‘Europe’ is that it needs a federal government to give it the scale it needs to compete. EU leaders push this argument and don’t seem to need any other organisation to join in; they would rather take the power for themselves.
I will try today to collate the info and send it to you. For now please Google these. Barcelona Declaration when investigating this please click the blue print with the union flag. This opens more pages with icons to click. Not all work but some do. The Mediterranean Agreement is the strategy and the up to date version 2017 although as is the EU, s usual penchant for hiding their agenda in words of reason it is not as overt as the BD. I will send you the original copy of the Isesco Charter as it was too overt and has been replaced with another more pliable document that says the same thing but in a more nuanced way. The IOC document is explained on you tube and worth a watch. The charter of the BD is also explained on you tube. While examining these document the overriding question is: why would Merkel risk her political career, the Eurosceptism and civil unrest of the people by refusing to cap migrant numbers. For the same reason she is unable to form a coalition government. Why is anything relating to Christain heritage being ignored in favour of all things Islam. She is aware of the outrage it will cause if, in the latest episode the ECJ rules that in a particular case Sharia law can overide common
law. This is the bulk of the info but I will try to submit it to you in an easier form. The BD starts with a Danish person writing to his PM demanding to know about this agreement and the ensuing reply. Thanks for your interest

en | N/A | N/A | Greek National Opera (ground floor) |
en | N/A | N/A | I have been talking about the names of YHWH and Yahushua for a while stressing the importance of knowing their names. Now I am going to talk about why you would accept the name of Jesus and not the name of Yahushua. I am going to take the opportunity to show you the transition in history of the name of Yahushua from the Hebrew language to the Greek language to the Latin language and finally to the English language.
Slide showing change of name in different languages
Did you see the name changing over time? Does Jesus look like Yahushua? Not even close! I want to step back one language from the English language and move back to the Latin language where the name of Jesus is Iesus. That name lasted for a long time throughout history. Then it was changed to Jesus. The letter J showed up not long ago. I am going to show you a copy of a page from the bible, specifically the King James Version bible, which was first printed in 1611. The page is from Luke Chapter 4. Pay close attention to the yellow highlights of Jesus which is spelled Iesus.
Slide showing copy of KJV 1611 Luke Chapter 4
The word Iesus in the book which was published in 1611 in the first English bible that was make it possible for many people to read. Iesus? You can read on the internet about the history of the letter J. There is plenty of information to be found.
Our English language has 26 letters in the alphabet, the baby of the letters in the alphabet is the letter J. The letter J was born from the letter I. In the year 1634, there was the first time in print, a distinction between the letter I and the letter J. For many years up to that time, there was no distinction between both letters in print. Thus the name Iesus became Jesus. We already see the name being changed 4 times becoming another name. Another person?
Slide asking question of which names fits with John 5:43
If I tell you that the name Yahushua was not used as a reference to one person in the bible and that there is another in the bible? This person was mentioned frequently in the bible and even has his own book. We know of Yahushua, not the mistaken name of Jesus. There is another Yahushua in the bible, in the Tankh or Old Testament, more specifically in the first 5 books of the bible. Before I continue with this discussion, I am going to show you a slide. If you do not believe me, feel free to look this up yourself.
Slide showing Name in Hebrew Yahushua and Names in English Jesus and Joshua
You just saw the same names in Hebrew but different translated names in English of Jesus and Joshua. You know who Joshua is? The famed assistant to Moses and when Moses died, Joshua took over ruling the whole House of Israel. The surprising thing here is that the name is the same in Hebrew, Yahushua. I am going to show you a verse where Yahushua, which you know as Joshua, had his name changed from Hoshea to Yahushua.
These are the names of the men whom Mosheh sent to spy out the land. And Mosheh called Hoshĕa the son of Nun, Yahushua.
Hoshea had his name changed to Yahushua. In today’s world, we should not be using Jesus but rather Joshua and saying “Praise Joshua” all those years. Why are we saying Jesus? Already we see the name changed to a different person. We must be very careful and know what is written even going further to find out where it was written, the history of what was written, rather than reading what is written and listening to what is being said by other people and taking their word for it and believing it to be true.
We must take what is written and discern it deeper and find the truth that may be hidden from us.
Jesus is not his name, Joshua is not his name. Yahushua is His Name!
Who decided the name? His Father!
Who decided that His Name would be above every name? His Father!
If our Father made His Name very important, we must do the same and show every reverence to that Name. Not changing His Name into something less and changing it again into a different name and eventually to Jesus which has no connection to the Father. I am going to show you verses from Philippians stressing the importance of His Name.
(9) Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name which is above every name,
(10) that at the Name of Yahushua every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
(11) and every tongue should confess that Yahushua Messiah is Master, to the esteem of Elohim the Father.
Philippians Chapter two verses nine through eleven can be summed up by saying that His Name is above all, we will bow to that name, and confess that He is the Master giving our Father esteem.
Yahushua is our Messiah which means Anointed One (hence the way I sign it this way), Anointed One means taking oil and pour it over someone’s head and it flows freely down the head indicating that he is chosen.
Yahushua was chosen to be our savior and He is our Messiah. The Father picked Him (Yahushua) with a name that is very important. We must heed this, hold the name to heart. We must know the name in order to bow down and confess that He is our Messiah.
I do not know who Jesus is. The name has no meaning to me. It does not give Our Father esteem. It takes away The Father’s name. It takes away any relationship between the Father and the Son.
I propose we go back to calling the Son by his true name, Yahushua. We proclaim that He is our Messiah so we can give Our Father, YHWH, His esteem.

en | N/A | N/A | Migos became a hip hop sensation in 2013 upon the release of their hit ‘Versace’, but what was their first song?
But how did the ‘Bad and Boujee’ rappers become such a mainstream hip hop group loved by many? It all began in 2009 — the year in which the group was formed. From then on, the only way was up for the band. Read more on this below.
Quavo’s dad passed away when he was four or five years of ageat a young age.
In a 2019 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, Offset said, “I have a father that I don’t know of. He still runs away for it. I don’t get it.” Afterward, he added that he’d made many attempts to get in contact with his father but all were unsuccessful, and his father was still “dodging” him. (This is also the interview where he reveals that he carries around $100,000 in his pocket!).
The group came out the other side, releasing their first album Young Rich Nation in the summer of 2015, which debuted on Billboard 200 at number 17 — a significant improvement to their first single.
According to NME, Childish Gambino said, “I really wanna thank the Migos” He is definitely a fan. |

Wembley bridge shortlist named
Wembley officials insist the new stadium will be open to stage the FA Cup final in May 2006, despite fresh claims that it is well behind schedule.
GMB union spokesman Kelly Rogers told the BBC her staff "do not believe the stadium will be finished on time".
But Wembley National Stadium Limited chief executive Michael Cunnah dismissed fears it will be delayed.
He said: "Wembley will prove all the doubters wrong - I'm very confident it will be ready in time."
The FA Cup final is scheduled to be played on 13 May 2006 and The Football Association has held talks with the Millennium Stadium on staging the final if redevelopment is delayed.
Artists drawing of the link between the new Wembley and town centre
But Cunnah added: "In all high-profile projects there are so many detractors but there won't be any left after they've all visited the new Wembley. All the detractors will realise that we've built the best stadium in the world.
"Wembley is the most famous stadium name in the world and it needs to stay that way. That's why we're going to deliver something that's worthy of the name Wembley stadium.
"Every time I come on site I'm in awe of this stadium, the size, the scale and the sheer beauty of it. I'm so excited about being here for the cup final in a year's time that I don't try and think about it.
"Not only do we want this to look the best stadium in the world, we also want it to be the best experience for all football fans."
But union official Rogers warned: "We have numerous members that work on the site, particularly on the mechanical side in relation to the roof. That should have been started in October last year.
"It is six months behind so the information we are getting back from our members constructing and building the site is that they firmly believe that it won't be completed by that day.
"I have not had one member come back and say the job will be completed on time."

Model error estimation in composite impact response prediction using hierarchical Bayes networks
Salas Mendez, Pablo Antonio
Predicting the failure response of complex systems often requires computational models that can capture the nonlinear response of the material and structure across multiple scales. Typically, the output response is a direct result of the complex interactions of different phenomena at different scales of the hierarchical system. Therefore, computed model errors correspond to accumulated model errors that have been propagated across several levels of thidentify and quantify the errors introduced by computer analytical models at different scales in the ballistic impact response simulation of a composite laminate. To that end, a Bayesian network based framework was implemented to systematically estimate the model contribution of uncertainty to the response prediction at each sub-scale of the composite problem. The developed method can be used for optimal allocation of validation resources by determining the type and number of experimental tests needed to reduce uncertainty at different subsystems levels of large engineering systems

With people trying to live sustainable, lower footprint lifestyles, and more and more people going off the grid, the engineers at farmbot.io have created an amazing free, open-source software tool called Farmbot for building small plot farms that will automatically dig, seed, and water themselves. All of the designs are available on their websites, and pre-orders for complete systems are open in June. |
en | N/A | N/A | Any patient with lipedema will tell you that a thigh lift for this rare adipose disorder is so much more than a cosmetic surgery to improve the aesthetics of the thigh.
Living with lipedema means dealing with the constant fluid buildup, pressure, pain, hardened and lumpy skin. You may have the inability to escape deformed legs no matter what exercise you consistently perform. It is inevitable for the skin in this area to become irritated and infected from constant friction of rubbing together from walking. These are all symptomatic medical consequences of lipedema in the thighs. The thighs are one of the primary targets of this disorder in men and women; however, it statistically happens more to women (one in nine women has undiagnosed lipedema).
WHAT IS THE SURGERY TECHNIQUE?
Under Dr. Schwartz’s TIVA medication, you will be asleep and unaware of the procedure to follow for 2 – 3 hours in the operating room. Dr. Schwartz will make an incision nfor the insertion of a cannula to be inserted for water-assisted liposuction to remove lipedema fat and pockets of fluid buildup. Once the fat removal is successfully performed, Dr. Schwartz will trim away all loose skin in thy by Dr. Schwartz relieves the thigh area of the extra pressure from fluid buildup, extra weight, and disproportionate shape that is contributed by lipedemaan upper buttock shelf treatment when having surgery for lipedema. It will be at his discretion whether or not to combine surgeries. He will make that decision based on your current health and ability to heal surgical wounds.
Your overall recovery period may takewill be provided by Dr. Schwartz. Even though there will be some scarring from this procedure, the pressure and pain should be alleviated. Hopefully, maintain a healthier lifestyle, and keep this disorder in check.
Staying in line with all of Dr. Schwartz’s orders and incision care instructions in recovery is necessary. Please attend all of your follow-up appointments. Keep in mind that adhering to are essential to the results and success of your thigh lift surgery. Dr. Schwartz will gladly advise you o. Again, it is very important that you continually wear compression garments after surgery to help your body ward off fluid retention. |

This year we revealed what was happening during Black Friday on the day as it unfolded, as well as prior to and follow up this sales period. We launched our customer traffic and conversion data, which updated hourly with insights from across the globe. We assumed the following results:
From midnight till 5 AM – decrease of sales
About 22 PM – peak sales period, then sales decline
The 2nd day of Black Friday is determined by peak sales, it has been a calendar Friday of November 25.
November 24 is considered to be a best-selling day, comparing to November 26 and November 27 despite the similar growth rates.
Black Friday online sales growth was a fantastic day, as we saw a 96 % increase in sales revenue, comparing to the results a week earlier.
The highest sales growth is estimated at 300% in the period from 2 AM to 3 AM on Thursday November 23 to Friday November 24, noted by customer activity at its highest point and identified best deal-seeking behavior.
To help to facilitate our partnerships we are pleased to introduce this year a new tool for publishers that will be particularly interesting for cashback services – “Lost orders”. Using this new tool you will be able to send to the advertisers the information about the orders that were not counted in the system to some reason, or were rejected by the advertiser by mistake.

en | N/A | N/A | To travel to china and japan have ...
What's wrong with options C and D?Can any experts help?
"To travel to" isn't the best way to write about actions John is dreaming of. Instead, use a gerund (a word that ends with -ing) to clearly show action. It also uses "have always," which is a plural verb - and since the topic is focused on traveling to BOTH places eventually, it makes more sense to use the singular "has always."
Again, . This one also got rid of the word "always,"!He hasn't just started dreaming about it - he's been dreaming about it his whole life!
This one is sneaky - they switched "China and Japan" with "China or Japan," which is different!He wants to go to both - not one or the other! |

The laser source is one of the most critical parts of a cold atom apparatus. It must keep its performances in terms of delivered optical power, linewidth, frequency stability and spectral agility in a space environment. This system must be reliable enough to undergo high level of vibration and to remain operational over a large range of temperature. The design was validated through the development of a STM (Structural and Thermal Model) and an EM (Engineering Model). The STM was used to perform the qualification tests and the EM was used to validate the functional performances of the laser source.

New Years Day marks the 95th anniversary of the merger of the Journal and the Courier newspapers.

The remarkable thing is that the edition was marked No. 1, Vol. 1, of The Lafayette Journal Courier. On the front page, the owner and publisher of the new Journal Courier Publishing Co., Henry Wright Marshall explained:
"The evening edition will continue to carry the full Associated Press telegraph reports of the day service, and the morning edition will carry the AP night service, and each will publish all the local and suburban news, sports news and markets. The Journal Courier will not be the organ of any political party or of any particular faction. It's constant endeavor will be to fairly and fully serve the whole community."
The Journal was the lineal descendant of the Lafayette Free Press and Commercial Advertiser — the first newspaper published in Lafayette. The first office was in a log cabin at the northwest corner of Main and Second streets. The first issue of the Free Press was published by Major John B. Semans in 1829 — a little more than four years after the city was founded. Semans changed the name about 1840 to Tippecanoe Journal. It soon became simply the Journal. In early 1849, after telegraph service opened in Lafayette, the Journal graduated to a four-page Monday through Saturday daily.
In 1914, Marshall entered the Lafayette newspaper field with the purchase of the Sunday Times. Shortly afterward, he bought the Morning Journal, consolidating the two to compete for news, public support and advertising dollars with the Courier.
According to tradition, the Courier was founded in 1831. Most printed records, however, available trace its beginning back to 1841, when Mathias Peterson is said to have purchased a newspaper printing outfit at Delphi, moving it to Lafayette, where he began publication of the Lafayette Advertiser. It was sold twice within a short time, and the third owner, James P. Jenks, changed the name to the Courier, which it remained. Following Jenks death at age 26 in 1849, Wiliam R. Ellis owned the Courier for the next eight years, selling it in 1857 to William S. Lingle. Lingle owned and operated the daily and weekly Courier until his death in 1884.
After buying the Courier, it took Marshall fewer than three months to create the Journal Courier, and less time to think up his first big headline — as timely on this January morning as it was back then: "Happy New Year."

en | N/A | N/A | Lindsey Kernodle is a graphic artist and muralist in Wichita. She has years of experience creating highly detailed projects for clients ranging from Hutton (here locally in Wichita) to National Geographic. Much of her work is inspired by her love of nature, having worked as a designer at the Sedgwick County Zoo for 4 years. Whether working in a graphic manner or creating something highly realistic, the underlying process is always one that works deeply with the client to understand what represents them best. Public art is her passion, loving how it connects people to the place we love when art is brought out of the formal gallery setting. One of her dreams is to create more art that communicateslocal ecosystems.
I love to connect to local wildlife organizations to see what their needs are for educating the public. There is critical work to be done to raise awareness of what is needed to protect our local plants and animals, and art can help redirect our attention to this.
When I create public murals that involve natural subjects, I love to include educational information along with them. For example, if there is a mural showing an, this work can be translated into handouts or webpages that educate about local wildlife. What species are local to that city? What species are endangered? What does this common insect look-like up-close? In my artwork, I aim to bring attention to these amazing stories in nature that happen all around us.

en | N/A | N/A | This great, week night meal is pretty quick. I chose to use cilantro because well, I really love the flavor. However, cilantro does have some great health benefits, including being full of vital minerals and phytonutrients. It is great how herbs can help add so much nutritional depth to what we eat. This recipe is a great example of that with protein, good fats, and beneficial spices.

Manila is also served by Clark Airport (CRK). It is situated 80 km from Manila, in the province of Pampanga. The cost for a private Clark airport taxi to Manila city centre is around 174 USD for a sedan car Kalibo, Palawan and Tagbilaran.
What's the airport taxi fare in ManilaThe end of Autumn is now not too far away and winter is lurking around the corner.
Its time to break out some warmer clothes. Its also a time of the year that I like a lot photographically and the acute sun angles and warmer light can make for some very nice colorful and contrasty images. Autumn (or Fall ) colors are always vibrant with the changes in color to the vegetation, especially if your are lucky enough to live in the countryside as I do. Unfortunately we went from severe drought conditions to subtropical rains over the past two or three weeks and sadly this hasn’t been a good time for taking photos.
Fuji has focused on the upper tier market ( rightly so ) but there is still a large pool of amateur/enthusiast photographer that would like the convenience of the all in one concept with the ability to go from Macro to Telephoto, and incorporate the manual zoom, which I personally find to be considerably faster to operate and more accurate in execution than a powered zoom.. An improved 1/1.6 or 1.1/7 sensor would be excellent and still have the ability to maintain a very good overall lens performance. If this were the case I would still be happy with something in the order of 24/28 mm wide to 600/700 mm tele. Add to that the intelligent digital zoom and you would have a class leading camera that is capable of very good performance and be a serious contender as an alternative to the bulkier and lens hungry ITLC and DSLR cameras.
Fuji already has most of the manufacturing base in place for this type of camera, but we Fuji users have got to support them when products of this level come to market.
In the meantime I will endeavor to do some more photographic work with what I have. </s> By Graham Lawton

By Gilbert Doctorow | May 15, 2020
This week started with a major presentation by President Putin of Russia’s plans for gradually lessening the strictures of lockdown, restarting the economy and restoring normal life as the epidemic in the country passes stabilization, which was just reached, and enters the ebb phase of contagion, hospitalization and death. The setting was a virtual conference with major players in the government responsible for managing the health crisis. However, since Putin’s lengthy speech which came to 17 typed pages was televised live by all Russian state channels, it could just as easily be called an address to the nation. The main focus was on the economy and assistance to citizens and to business.
That speech has received little attention in the West and I will come back to it in a follow-up tomorrow, because it tells us a great deal about the guiding principles of Russian governance and its ‘social economy.’ |
