Over the coming months, the national tourism website will launch videos showcasing the country’s best sustainable tourism assets and outstanding experiences and will host giveaways for sustainable Vietnamese products and holidays on its social media channels.
The new ‘Green Travel’ section on the national tourism website vietnam.travel/sustainability set up by the VNAT in collaboration with the Việt Nam Tourism Advisory Board (TAB) and the Sustainable Tourism Programme of Switzerland (SSTP) aims to boost tourism activities among foreign expats in Việt Nam.
With regard to the seventh version of the Ho Chi Minh City Ao Dai (traditional long dress) festival, the administration has requested that its Department of Tourism co-ordinates with relevant agencies to organise the event in either late September or early October to welcome the Party Congress across all levels.
What Phuoc meant is the next stimulus program will not be effective if travel firms are all in a race for discount. Instead, tour companies must build their plans in accordance with support policies from the State. In other words, the State ought to allocate its budget or develop policies on tourism promotion, helping travel […]
According to the VNAT, 30-40 percent of tours and package tours to other provinces and cities have been canceled, with the rate expected to further increase. The VNAT is working regularly with departments of tourism in provinces and cities nationwide to deal with tour cancellations and move visitors out of Da Nang – the center […]
“After the COVID-19 outbreak, we implemented a slew of measures including closing tourist attractions quickly, suspending the operations of travel agencies, and coordinating the returns of outbound tourists, which have effectively prevented epidemic risks in the field of tourism,” said Hu Heping, minister of culture and tourism.
Livestreaming has become popular among online viewers. It set the record of selling 8,000 nights of hotel rooms in 1 minute, as well as selling over 41 sets of “hotel plus scenic spot ticket” per second. The tourism industry was revived in over 200 cities.
“We make the surplus into mango products, such as honey and dried fruits. We’ve been trying to use agriculture technology to ensure productivity as we open for tourists again after the mango season,” said the owner whose family business narrowly pulled through without dismissing any of her staffs.

In Pictures: The Shrinking India Art Fair
With a keen eye for art, Sahar Zaman picks the highlights of India Art Fair this year.
I hate to sound like Cassandra, the Greek prophetess of doom but as someone who religiously comes to the India Art Fair every year, right since it’s inception in 2008, I’ve been noticing a consistent shrinking of both scale of artworks and participation by art galleries. Given that it was a weekend, the number of visitors was disappointing. This year, there were 20 galleries lesser than last year’s total number. That’s surely not a good sign. But it’s understandable. The market is still not looking up and so the returns are few and far between. It must be a struggle for the organizers to pull it off every year, given the challenging times.
So for a seasoned eye such as mine, it’s a painful observation. IAF started with a bang, grew in a few years with the best international names coming in and has today shrunk to a mid-noon shadow.
The art too has fallen into a routine. There’s nothing that stands out of the box and demands your awe and admiration. It’s all too predictable. This year there was no real show-stopper or ‘selfie-stopper’, an artwork that people want to make part of their ‘I’ moments. But is that a fair assessment? Certainly NOT. For young students or first time visitors, the art fair is a much-needed window to the world of art. It’s an essential initiation where you get to see art, hear top artists speak in various forums and get to read the best coffee table books on art. All under one tented roof.
Speaking of young students, I decided to shift focus on my four-year-old son, to check what could be his best take away from the fair. And his observations weren’t very different from what the other youngsters got pulled towards. Installation art rules the day. He may graduate to appreciating the paintings of masters later, but making a start with the contemporary art stars isn’t bad at all.
He loved feeling the texture of Vibha Galhotra’s ghungroo work. K.S. Radhakrishnan’s bronze ramp up the Buddha head was exciting.
His jaw dropped when he saw Subodh Gupta’s kitchen pans pressed and squeezed into a large two-dimensional rectangular piece mounted on the wall.
He marveled at Arun Kumar H.G.’s iridescent blue cow.
And Ravinder Reddy’s gold head with big white eyes was spooky.
He couldn’t imagine other heads by Seema Kohli and Durga Kainthola could be painted in bright funky colours.
Or that elephants could look pretty with flowers and dots.
Collecting art postcards from Anjolie Ela Menon’s solo show was fun but getting to see a life size BMW painted by the great artist Cesar Manrique was the icing on the cake.
The greatest service to the visually challenged has been done by the team of Delhi Art Gallery. Apart from curating a special walk across one entire pavilion on the history of visual arts in India, they printed a separate 10-page booklet in Braille. Special reminders have been sent out to NGOs and schools catering to the visually challenged, to visit the visual world of arts.
This part was truly satisfying for the journalist in me: to see the art world open itself to a group of people usually cut off from it. So I finally ended my tour with something truly different and refreshing.

godaddy hosting is my dedicated server by now. they offer me unlimited domains. what i like the most of godaddy, is their fast transfer! i can upload big files with them and theres no problem, the speed is very fast.
maybe i was looking for a reseller plan, not a dedicated server. but this was my first purchase of hosting, so i dont really care.
i used a 20$ coupon for this order, so they sold it to me for about 50$.
Biggest Pro: coupon.
Godaddy is a good hosting company. They offer fast and reliable hosting solutions for everyone. I just joined with them around 2 months ago and I am very satisfied with their pricing and customer support. The only thing I do not like about godaddy is that do not offer cpanel. Whcih makes hosting your website a lot harder. This is their major downfall. Otherwise they are the best in their market for their pricing and support.
GoDaddy Hosting is Great
I have never had any problems with GoDaddy. I host several websites there and I have never had my site down when I checked it. I found it quite easy to navigate their site and have no complaints.
Their prices are great and even greater when you use coupons and I use coupons for renewing too. I got $20 off my year of hosting. That's in addition to their discount for paying for the full year instead of monthly.
The customer service is pretty good for a company that's as popular as they are, which it should be. I haven't had any serious problems so I can't really say much more about it. My dealings with customer service were just basic questions about how to do something or how to find something. I never had any technical problems.
I trust GoDaddy and I will continue using them until something happens that makes me change my mind.
Biggest Pro: Uptime + Reliability
Biggest Con: None
GoDaddy - Clean/friendly/efficient
I've used GoDaddy for all my domain registrations and hosting. I love them. Never any problems; they offer all kinds of awesome packages (domains are 1.99 with any hosting plan) and I trust them - which i can't say as much about some other hosting websites I've used.
Biggest Pro: super-user friendly
Biggest Con: Auto-renew can be a pain to turn off
Dr. Jeckyll and Mr. Hyde
I had ups and downs with GoDaddy. Originally, I was happy with them, but that was because I never had any problems and so I didn't have to deal with customer service. My first problem was actually not their fault, but after quite a lot of back and forth with them instead of trying to help me they said, and I quote, "We would be happy to help you find a new host." Now to me we could have easily reached an agreeable solution, but they didn't seem interested in helping me.
Another problem with them was that I received an email for $25 free worth of Google Adwords credit. The email mentioned nothing about the offer only being available to customers with certain hosting plans, which as you can guess did not include my hosting plan. According to the email I was entitled to a free $25 credit. I jumped on the offer and signed up with Google. After the 3 day waiting period had passed I still hadn't received anything from GoDaddy. I ignored this and forgot about it for some time. I only remembered about it when I got a letter from the bank with my credit card statement. I didn't use this credit card for anything else, so I was surprised when I saw that I was late with a payment etc etc. When I contacted GoDaddy about this they were not helpful and simply said the plan I was on did not qualify, case closed. I said that if my plan didn't qualify, I should not have received the email, or at least the email should have stated that the offer was only available for certain accounts. They didn't budge from their original position... end of story.
The only good thing about my time with GoDaddy is that my website was almost always online. Other than that all I can say is that their customer service has left a horrible taste in my mouth that will never go away. I will never deal with GoDaddy again for hosting. Unfortunately I still have my domain registered with them. Lucky me!
Biggest Pro: Good website uptime
Biggest Con: Service. What service? The worst I have experienced with any company in all of my life.
Go Daddy is a very reliable host; I am currently hosting five proxies, one forum and an articles website, all websites are still up and running smoothly.
Go Daddy's Economy plan only costs $6.99 USD per month and using a coupon, an extra $1 USD can be discounted.
Biggest Con: Renews automatically.
I got into website ownership kinda late in the game, so my review will be a little biased since my knowledge of services has grown by leaps and bounds. After initially buying a hosting package with Godaddy in 2005, I was sent the most expensive plan that was full of things I had no idea were or even knew how to use. the salesperson clearly"saw me coming". I felt really betrayed with that experience. But now I'm having technical issues and things going on with server movement. Because of these actions I lost an entire database of information pertaining to a well established directory that was hosted elsewhere. I guess I got what I paid for.
Biggest Pro: Ability to pay monthly using Paypal
Biggest Con: Tech support and frequent shuffling of servers
Cheapest and the most Reliable
Well I will certainly go with this one. They are probably the cheapest one around and the uptime is almost 99% There are many coupons available so that you get the best deal. Bob Parsons review comes in real handy.
Overall there performance has been beyond any doubts and everything is very simple. There online support is real good and fast too.
Godaddy Love the Little Extras With It
I've been using Godaddy for 9 months. It is my first paid host company. I have never experienced a down time. I find their customer support on the telephone to be second to none. Their email support is a little disappointing with wait time and often times the email rep will not specifically address your question. I find their site very difficult to navigate, but there have been recent improvements and updates to their site, so I guess that is a good thing, except for the fact that I was only just learning my way around the "OLD" set up :).
I find their pricing to be terrific. Also, if you don't mind having a Google ad banner across the top of your website, Godaddy will host your site for free when you use them to buy a domain name. I have six sites sitting on free host right now that are under construction.
There are discounts available every time you buy at Godaddy. If you are new to making websites you can get a site manager and ftp to help you with your project.
I love the catch all email address function and the 25 subdomains that come with your domain hosting at Godaddy. The possibilities are endless!
Godaddy also has an affiliate program so that you can refer others and make a little money that way. I have not tried this, but I have read about it and I believe you can do the referrals through Commision Junction, so you would need to sign up for CJ before becoming an affiliate for Godaddy.
I occasionally click on the Bob Parsons blog link at the Godaddy site for a quick read of useful and sometimes quite funny information.
Oh, and don't let me leave out the "Godaddy Girls"! They bring beauty to the company as well.
These are my honest opinions of Godaddy dot com and I do recommend them 100 percent.
Biggest Pro: The fantastic service on the telephone.
Biggest Con: The difficulties navagating their website if you're a beginner.
I was one of the sites back then to get hacked on dreamhost along with another 350,000 people, the, the ftp is horribly slow as well. I am no newbie as well I a sure you as I have T1 as when I switched to Go Daddy things where great, I seriously highly recommend this host, great quality, hope this helps! gold bless
Biggest Pro: Biggest pro fast FTP transfers, very fast
Biggest Con: sometimes they do a lot of maitence

Apple’s swift strike is just a prototype but this simple demo could usher in an entirely new way to play games.
"What you see on that iPad is not really there. But you get it in your mind that it is, so you become immersed in this whole other world," said YouTube star Justine Ezarik.
Apple is adding two new tools to their software suite for app developers. One allows anyone with a recent iPhone to use motion capture. That means you can create similar effects Hollywood studios have had for years!
"Having motion capture in your pocket.. It’s it’s mind blowing," said Ezarik.
Another - more technical feature - is called People Occlusion, a fancy term that means real people can appear in front of or behind virtual content and it looks natural.
The game has you use your iPad to virtually push a giant ball to knock down your opponents pins.
"Actually being able to physically push something and use the vibration motion to feel when you hit the ball is what took it to the next level of fun," said YouTube star Marques Brownlee.
"I think VR is incredible but with this it doesn't take you out of your world… you’re still there.. you’re a part of it… it’s something that you can do so much with… that i can’t wait for the future of it," added Ezarik.

Yellow Checker Cab is a taxicab company in Silicon Valley that understands the adventurous spirits and tries to make the moving as simple as possible. That’s why this team has decided to offer the pros and cons of living in the area YCC knows the best – San Jose.
So, if San Jose or any other town in Silicon Valley is your desired moving destination, be sure to check out the following article!
As you can already guess, there are plenty of advantages when living in San Jose and the surrounding areas. As a matter of fact, there are so many great things awaiting you there that your trusty Yellow Checker Cab’s team had difficulties deciding which ones to include in the list.
These made the cut as the most relevant ones for everyone who’s looking for the best reasons to move to San Jose!
1. Job Opportunities
San Jose is the capital of the tech industry and a place where all tech geniuses dream of living. The entire Silicon Valley area is actually an excellent choice for everyone who wants to have a career in this industry. So, if you’re looking for new job opportunities and challenges, San Jose is the place to be. Not only is Silicon Valley abundant with well-paid job choices, but it is also chosen as the place with the highest level of happiness at work. Sounds perfect, right?
And where’s work, there’s the need for reliable corporate transportation in the vicinity. That’s exactly why Yellow Checker Cab is the #1 choice for all of the locals as well as visitors, not only in San Jose but also other cities nearby such as
2. Fantastic Weather
With around 300 sunny days a year, San Jose is the dream for anyone who enjoys sunshine and warm weather. Even during the winter, the temperatures are never too low. Since it’s always so pleasant to be outside, San Jose and the cities close by are rich with outdoor activities for everyone’s taste. These fantastic climate conditions are perfect for all of you who enjoy gardening.
And even when it’s raining, San Jose can offer a variety of fun and exciting indoor events and attractions while Yellow Checker Cab provides the nearest taxicab rides and the most efficient transportation to take you to any destination in Silicon Valley.
3. Delicious Food
If you’re someone who loves trying out new food and experimenting with different cuisines from all around the globe, you’ll be thrilled to know that San Jose has an excellent food scene and fantastic restaurants. From fast food to Japanese specialties, San Jose has it all. Your taste buds will be super-happy if you decide to move to San Jose!
What better way to arrive at all those restaurants than by hiring a cab nearby to take you there? Count on Yellow Checker Cabs wallet-friendly rates and serious professionals behind the wheel whenever you want to have prompt and safe cab rides in San Jose.
4. Best Taxi Company in the Area
Well, you already know this, don’t you? Obviously! Yellow Checker Cab is the best choice for all your transportation-related needs.
Because this team of ground-transportation experts cares deeply about every client’s satisfaction and comfort. Even if your needs require a wheelchair-accessible taxi close to you, Yellow Checker Cab has got your back!

Not only is customer satisfaction Yellow Checker Cab’s first priority, but this cab company San Jose also cares about the planet too and is proud to offer green cars for eco-friendly taxi rides in Silicon Valley.
5. Low Crime Rate
Even though San Jose is a big city, the crime rate there is very, very low, which ensures safety and security even when you’re outside alone during the night. This is very reassuring if you want to move there with your family. Thankfully, you won’t have to worry about your children’s safety in San Jose since it always lists as one of the safest towns in the country.
6. Excellent Schools
Great job opportunities require great minds, and that’s why Silicon Valley’s educational facilities are the best ones in the country.

While it was difficult to decide which pros to highlight, an even more challenging task was to point out the cons of living in San Jose because there really aren’t many.
In the end, the following two seemed like the only ones:
1. It’s Pricey
It’s a fact that San Jose is expensive when it comes to rent, home purchase, and everyday costs. However, since everyone there can find a good job with an excellent salary, this standard is a logical outcome. With the wages that the tech industry offers, the higher prices in San Jose will barely be noticeable.
However, your dependable taxi company in the area can be both reliable as well as affordable. Yellow Checker Cab’s rates won’t break the bank even though this company offers top-notch taxi services San Jose.
2. Traffic Jams
This is to be expected in large cities, and San Jose is no exception. While being stuck in traffic is a very common thing in Silicon Valley, relying on the right taxi firm close to your location can be of big help.
Use the Voice Search on your phone and issue a “taxi near me” / “San Jose taxi cab nearby” / “the closest taxi to my current location” / “find me a cab in the vicinity” or any other similar command and choose Yellow Checker Cab as your reliable taxi provider.
Book easily on the website or give us a call and talk over every little detail with YCC’s friendly and 24/7 available customer support. This team welcomes you to San Jose with open arms and looks forward to driving you throughout Silicon Valley in comfort, safety, and style.

Postcapitalist Art + Postspacial Theatre
this is a response to
Paul Mason’s Guardian article on ‘Postcapitalism’: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2015/jul/17/postcapitalism-end-of-capitalism-begun
Marek Horn’s response to that article: http://exeuntmagazine.com/features/post-capitalist-theatre-a-thought-experiment/
and Paul Mason’s response to that response: https://medium.com/@paulmasonnews/postcapitalist-theatre-f5963f260f7d
this will make a lot more sense if you’ve read those (particularly the second two if you don’t want to read the big initial article – that’s less about art/theatre anyway)
This is three seconds of your life you won't get back. (Eight for slow readers).
— Marek Larwood (@MarekLarwood) September 2, 2015
(Marek Larwood summarises the nature of art)
Both Mason and Horn kind of take it for granted early on that the digital reproduction of art is an immediate symptom that will lead to the total devaluation of art:
As they are reproduced ad infinitum, images, songs, books will be more ubiquitous than ever, and if ubiquity destroys their financial value now then what is to say that it won’t also destroy their conceptual value?
– Marek Horn
I appreciate this is just a stepping stone in their larger arguments but it’s a pretty significant stepping stone (more so in Horn’s, simply because Mason’s larger argument is much larger) and it’s irked me.
Let’s take a BIG step back. The Venus of Hohle Fels is a figurine, carved from a mammoth tusk, that has been dated to be between 35,000 and 40,000 years old. A long time ago, a mammoth grew a tusk, the tusk was in one way or another separated from the mammoth, the tusk was carved into a figurine, the figurine was found around 40 millennia later. Yes it’s impressive that something that old still exists. Yes, I’d be excited if I saw it in person.
Venus of Hohle Fels [censored for decency] source
The Venus is exciting because it is an incredibly old piece of art. The Venus is exciting not solely because of its age, or its physical presence, but the combination of these two with the moment of creation it represents. It is a piece of art because it is the result of raw material taken and shaped and then left. There are rocks much older that no one cares about, because unlike the Venus they do not form a record of human intervention. Horn says ‘art cannot be made by machines, no matter how intelligent they are’ – because our concept of art requires human intervention. Take an artwork, any kind, and it will be ‘art’ because a human has done something to something else. The first something can be a rock or a mammoth tusk as much as it can be an idea or a data file (or paints and canvas, if you like). The second something can be anything at all really (in the last hundred year or so we’ve gotten progressively sillier – but we’re still doing things to other things and calling it art).
Now then, the value of art is where it gets sticky.
Art must be experienced to have value, simply because we have to assign it value and we need to experience it in some way or other in order to do that. In the context of Horn’s ‘images’ being ‘reproduced ad infinitum’, what is being devalued is access to the experience of art, not the experience itself. And art never had any absolute value, as any conversation between two theatre critics will eventually lead you to realise. I saw Damien Hirst’s For the Love of God in person for free at the Tate Modern, and it remains far less significant to me than Michael Craig-Martin’s An Oak Tree – which I’ve never seen, and – get this – never need to see. The internet did what it does and provided me with enough of the experience of the piece to understand its position in culture.
What it is important to realise is that in the internet age it is access that is being democratised. This is an access not to a physical artwork but to the ideological value given to that work. What is being challenged is not the conceptual value of (to go with Horn’s example) a Francis Bacon painting, but the ability of the private collector and the ticketed gallery to charge you to see it. What Horn calls the painting’s ‘thing-value’ (the value of the physical object) was surrendered by Bacon the moment the painting was sold. The painting’s ideas-value was surrendered far sooner than that: in the moment it was finished and first seen. We give a Francis Bacon painting its ‘ideas-value’ in how significant culturally we end up making it. What is being democratised is access to an explanation of that. Someone living in Argentina has equal access to the cultural value of a Francis Bacon painting in the Tate Britain as someone living in Derby who can’t afford a trip to London.
In his article, Horn didn’t need to explain Francis Bacon because he knew anyone not in the know could immediately search his name and find out.* This didn’t reduce the ideas-value of Francis Bacon – he still served as an argument point. Yes, in the past ideological access to an artwork demanded you have physical access – which more often than not demanded you spend capital – but now the internet is exponentially widening that gap between physical and ideological access. Now you can have one without ever dreaming of having the other.
But even in the context of the internet’s democratisation of access, money is changing hands. Go watch a Kanye West music video. I’m listening to Jesus Walks on YouTube, but first I had to watch/listen to/ignore an advert, which lasted about twenty seconds, and probably cost an obscene amount of money. Sometimes you can skip an advert after five seconds, but even by then you’ve been advertised to, and there are YouTube ads emerging that last less than that five seconds. My point is that those who are using the internet to make a profit are already incredibly aware of the shrinking value of the artwork online. Now, they are monetising the time we spend experiencing the artwork (or waiting to experience it).
Horn writes about ‘a socio-cultural matrix that doesn’t value things for their monetary worth and does value the authority of the progenitor above all other factors in cultural-commodification’, and that ‘The internet […] cannot reproduce time, and thus it fundamentally cannot reproduce the experience of watching a play.’ The internet can reproduce time. The internet sells our attention by the minute – that’s how YouTube ads work. Our thirst for immediate content has been noted and is being incredibly effectively exploited. The internet is far from free of capitalism. I would argue that we never valued art for its monetary worth – art’s monetary worth is a result of its cultural significance, not the other way round. If the Venus of Hohle Fels was carved three weeks ago by a bloke down the pub you’d be very lucky to get a hundred quid for it.
What’s more, I’ve already watched whole plays streamed live on the internet, for free. Watching those plays online for free didn’t make them culturally meaningless any more than a video being on YouTube does. Horn wants to see the devaluation of digital art as an opportunity for theatre to become the postcapitalist artform par excellence, but the crisis in the ideological worthiness of art just isn’t there. Horn treats theatre as ‘an idea explaining machine’, with its value immanent in its organic liveness. The problem is that theatre is far from being unique as a vehicle for ideas – and though it may be capable of reproducing time, it is just as dependent on us spending time to observe it as any other art form.
Yes, the landscape will change, and presumably will eventually become unrecognisable and continue to do so. But rather than this coming about through a depreciation in the overall ideological value of art, it will come about through a change in the way we consume it. The gallery will become increasingly meaningless, not because no one values art but because they value their time over seeing in person what they can learn about online. If anything, in an information economy, I’d anticipate a depreciation in the value and supremacy of live performance. If the value of something is in its ideas, then you will access those ideas as cheaply and easily as possible – you’ll stream them online.
In this case, rather than a renaissance of the stage, the stage may well fall out of the equation altogether. Paul Mason’s response to the response gives some pretty good hypothetical examples of what that might mean:
the new forms of economics that postcapitalism involves:
- the emergence of free stuff
- the emergence of nonhierarchical work
- the de-linking of work from wages.
– Paul Mason (there’s also a numbered list of potential postcapitalist theatre projects)
These bullet points seem to point towards a more ‘internet’ oriented way of thinking. I’m thinking now of dematerialised theatre, internet-hosted theatre, social theatre. Rather than a theatre that operates on the primacy of space, a theatre that demands only time, in its various forms and amounts. Pieces that are neither localised, continuous or sustained, but simply demand some sort of engagement, whenever and by whoever. Rather than recreating time and demanding we experience it in a specific moment, theatre that waits for us, for as long as we need. A canvas that anticipates the human intervention of its audience.
Is this our future? No doubt all our predictions are wrong in some way. No doubt someone will find out how eventually.
*Likewise, I’ve included no explanation of Hirst, Craig-Martin or West along the same lines.

THE PRAYER MAP FOR WOMEN
This engaging prayer journal is a fun and creative way for you to more fully experience the power of prayer. Each page features a lovely 2-color design that guides you to write out specific thoughts, ideas, and lists. . .which then creates a specific "map" for you to follow as you talk to God. Each map includes a spot to record the date, so you can look back on your prayers and see how God has worked in your life. The Prayer Map for Women will not only encourage you to spend time talking with God about the things that matter most. . .it will also help you build a healthy spiritual habit of continual prayer for life!
What don't I love about this prayer journal? I can't think of a thing! From the size to the prompts on each page I love everything about it! Helping keep my thoughts organized and keeping me focused with the perfect space for noting scripture or things God gives me during my prayer time. This journal holds so much yet takes up little space. I knew when I saw it for the first time this was going to be my prayer journal!
I received a copy of this book free from the Barbour publishers in exchange for an honest review.

One of the best Shadowfist expansions is getting a reprint in the next few weeks! No more begging off people on the streets for Shun Dai, Never Surrender or Kun Lun Clan Assault cards (a common no less!). I’ll be picking up a box for sure to flesh out some of my missing rares and pumping up my uncommons. If anyone is getting a box and wants to do some trading for the stuff they need, shoot me a message. With deference to Netherworld 1, this expansion has both the best art and some of the best cards in the game, what’s more it has all but three of the cards for the Seven Masters faction, that is playable with a box and a half or so of this set. A must have.

Moral epistemology is an area of metaethics that I feel most
uneasy about. I’ve done the least research in this area, and I’m never quite
happy with what I read. However, I have tried to get at least started. So, this
post is a Groundwork to my moral epistemology (not that the presented view will
be original). I want to start from Sidgwick’s intuitionist position as
described by Roger Crisp in the section 3.4 of his book. Call this the ‘Crispwick’
view which I used to find very appealing. I will then explain why I have come to
doubt this view, and why these doubts give me a reason to be drawn into a view
which I call ‘Social Reliabilism’.
The Crispwick view gives four necessary conditions for being
justified in believing a normative proposition (I’ll use ‘that p’ for this
proposition). On their own, each of these conditions is insufficient for
justification, but jointly they are sufficient. So, when a believer who
believes that p is in circumstances in which all the four conditions are
satisfied, then and only then she justifiedly believes that p. My worry is that
I don’t see how the person could have justification to believe that p when all
the four conditions are satisfied if she is not already justified to so believe
when the first three conditions are satisfied.
The first condition is clarity. So, the believer must have a
clear and precise understanding of the concepts in terms of which the believed
proposition that p is phrased. This also means that the believer should know
the inferential connections of the proposition to other normative propositions
and what kind practical consequences accepting it could have. But, given that
the intuitionist does not think that moral propositions are analytically true,
conceptual competences cannot be enough for knowing them to be true. So, we
need more for justification.
The second condition is reflection. This means that the
believer should find the truth of the proposition convincing after hard, unprejudiced
reflection. This is required for both ruling out distorting emotional
gut-reactions, acceptance based on social pressures, and so on, and for ‘seeing’
the synthetic truth of the proposition. The reflection needn’t offer arguments
for the proposition as some of these propositions are basic truths.
The third condition is consistency. Even if my belief that p
satisfies the first two conditions, I am not justified in believing that p
unless I first check that I do not also believe that not-p (when this belief
also satisfies clarity and reflection). It’s not clear how much this condition
adds. It is questionable whether one can satisfy the first two but not
consistency. Inconsistencies are often signs of unclarity.
It is crucial, according to Crispwick, that satisfying the
first three conditions is not sufficient for being justified in believing that
p. If there are others who satisfy the first three conditions in believing that
not-p, then even if I satisfy those conditions I am not justified to believe
[EDIT] So, the fourth condition is then consensus. One is only justified in believing that p when one satisfies the first three conditions if everyone else in the same community also believes that p – or, at least all the epistemic peers who satisfy all the previous three conditions believe that p rather than not-p. Consensus in this sense adds justification, whereas disagreement undermines it.
My problem is that I’m not sure I see why the fourth
condition should matter for justification on the intuitionist view. I keep
thinking about desert island cases. Imagine that Ann and Ben are on a desert
island. Ann believes that p (and satisfies the first three conditions) and Ben
believes that not-p (and also satisfies those conditions). Neither one of them
has a justified belief in this case because there is a blatant disagreement
between two halfs of the population. Now, let us assume that a series of individuals
start arriving to the island one by one. All these individuals believe that p
(and satisfy the three conditions). Because these individuals previously
belonged to no epistemic community, they do not justifiedly believe that p.
But, now, when Chris (the first newcomer) arrives on the island, he and Ann
begin to have some justification for believing that p given that we now have a
majority view. When you add another newcomer David, who didn’t previously have
justification for believing that p, they become even more justified in
believing that p because the level of consensus is increased. So, on this view,
you get justification out of adding more people who didn’t have justified
beliefs before. Likewise, you can remove justification by adding people who
didn’t have justification for believing the opposing view. This I find
But, I do share the intuition that consensus matters. I just
think that there is a better view than intuitionism to explain why this is so.
Consensus can come about as a result of various different mechanisms. You can
get it by brain-washing (North Korea, Fox News), using the sword (crusades), or
open, reflective discussion in which all individuals from different standpoints
can take part in the game of giving and assessing reasons (Sweden in the 80s).
I have the intuition that the consensus arrived in the first two ways lacks any
epistemic value (given that the results can be wildly different), whereas the
consensus arrived at the third way matters.
So, I want to think that we form our normative beliefs in
social settings. Different social settings have different social
normative-belief-formation-systems that tend to gravitate towards consensus. If
one thinks that there are normative facts, then some of these social
belief-formation methods are more reliable than others. Which ones are more
reliable depends on what the normative facts are and which of the social ways
of belief-formation get them more often than not right. And, as a result, an
individual has a justified normative belief when her belief is formed through
education and reflection within a reliable social system (and it satisfies the
first three conditions from Sidgwick).
I haven’t given any arguments for this proposal, but here’s
one reason why I like it. The Crispwick view is by and large an internalist
view. Just by doing a priori reflection we can know that the first three
conditions are satisfied, and we can do little polling to see if there’s
consensus. So, on that view, it is easy to know whether we have justified beliefs
or not. In contrast, the reliabilist view I sketched is an externalist view –
the reliability of different social methods of belief-formation depends on the
external facts. Given that we have no independent methods of seeing what those
facts are, we do not know whether our own social method is reliable or not. So,
we do not know whether we have justified normative beliefs. I quite like this
modesty. One can still accept that we have justified beliefs that our normative
beliefs are justified, if we think that the social consensus formation system
we use is reliable more generally.

Proposed research ideas:
The biggest advantage of 3D manufacturing or rapid prototyping is a capability of enabling simple manufacturing process of highly complicated geometrical shapes of objects. However 3D manufacturing still has lots to be improved in material processing to enhance the quality of products and to guarantee strength of materials for practical purpose not just show a sample for display. Highly complicated geometry is popularly used in aerospace engineering applications. One of modern aerospace technology is morphing wings which enables aircraft to actively change the wings shapes to optimize overall performance and modify overall flight envelopes. When wings morph, they are under the influences of structural stresses in multiple axes at the same time of dynamic loading from aerodynamics. A simple pattern of topology or geometry would be enough or sufficient to meet dynamically changing coupled forces of structures and aerodynamics. One of solutions is to analyze them in simulation and also in macro level. The proposed idea is to optimize geometry using topology visualization techniques which is very innovative and not has been tried in aerospace engineering to simplify the geometry that considers coupled structure-fluid interactions in much more efficient ways. Another idea is to realize the optimized topology using visualization into 3d manufacturing process considering characteristics of a particular material since each printer uses normally one material for prototyping.
In aerospace engineering, the term, topology itself is a well-known subject when we design and optimize structure. However topology optimization in the subject is in macro scale approaches not data visualization levels. Topology visualization is heavily used computer science subjects but not in aerospace and manufacturing areas. Conventional aerospace engineering problems are solved in macro level material and stress analysis along with aerodynamics. Aeroelasticity is a term when structures and fluid mechanics are combined and it is considered on most of aerodynamics applications. However, current topology optimization is not through topology visualization. It is of interest to study possibilities of topology optimization of aerodynamic structures via topology visualization.

October 22, 2005
Before I moved here, I couldn't understand how people could be stationed in Germany or Korea and come home not speaking the language. Now I completely understand this. Until you see how a military community operates, it's hard to really imagine it. My Swedish friend bought me a German paperback book as a gift when she came to visit two years ago. At the end of her weekend here, she apologized for giving me the book, saying that she didn't realize how American my life still was, even though I was smack dab in the middle of Europe.
We speak only English all day long. We spend dollars at our stores, where we can buy 110-volt appliances and Region 1 DVDs. My husband and I don't have any German friends except for a few wives, most of whom speak English quite well and sit around moaning about how they'd rather be in Kentucky where they could go to Walmart at 10 PM. We don't need to speak German.
That said, we try to speak it whenever we're out on the town. We do just fine with our restaurant and department store vocabulary. Sometimes we get the Rolled Eye Treatment from German shopkeepers who'd rather conduct business in English anyway, like last weekend when I started giving someone my address in German and she looked at me like I was speaking Chinese. I sighed and repeated the exact same thing in English, at which point she finally wrote it down. The Germans in our area don't want us to speak German, so it's an uphill battle with the girl in the train station who begged, "Can you please just speak English so this will go faster?" when I tried to purchase a train ticket in German.
We're perfectly capable of learning German. I learned French and Swedish just fine, and my husband taught himself basic Arabic, for pete's sake. But the motivation just isn't there, because the reward for speaking German on the economy is rolled eyes and groans. So why bother?
(This is not to excuse those people who rave on and on about how much they loooove living in Europe but don't even bother to learn how to order food from a menu. I hate when we run into those types when we're out on the town. If you want to homestead here permanently and be a Squatter after you retire, then learn freaking German, you boors.)

POLST stands for “Practitioner Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment.”
POLST is a program you can choose to use to make sure your healthcare wishes are followed at the end-of life.
Some of the decisions that can be found on the POLST form are:
- If your heart and breathing stops, would you want the emergency team to try to start them again (this is called CPR -Cardiopulmonary resuscitation)
- Would you want to be put on a machine (called a ventilator) to help with breathing
- Would you want to be fed through a tube if you could no longer eat
Filling out a POLST form is your choice. In Illinois, healthcare providers must do what a POLST form says by law.
The POLST form is recommended for:
- A patient who is very sick or frail, and may not live more than a year.
No. The POLST form does not replace a Power of Attorney form or any other legal document such as a Living Will. Experts recommend that all adults should name someone to make healthcare decisions for them by using a Healthcare Power of Attorney form.
A POLST form is filled out only after talking with your doctor or another healthcare professional about your medical condition and potential problems that may arise. Your options and treatment wishes would be put on the form, which must then be signed by your physician.
The original POLST form stays with you at all times. If you are moved to another setting (such as from a hospital to a nursing home), the original POLST form goes with you.
Yes. If you decide to change your POLST form, write “VOID” on the front side of the form. A new form can then be completed with your healthcare provider showing your changes. The form with the latest date will be followed.
No. However, it is recommended that you review it often, especially if there is a change in your health, you change your mind on what treatments you want or do not want, or you are moved from one care setting to another.
Your doctor will have a copy of the form, but it is also a good idea to make sure your family knows you have a POLST form. Sometimes family members have their own ideas about what types of treatment their loved ones would want. POLST makes sure that your family members, caregivers, and healthcare workers know exactly what treatments you do and don’t want. No one has to guess or argue.
Emergency medical workers are required to do everything to keep you alive if a POLST form is not available. A POLST form helps healthcare workers and your loved ones know what treatments you would and would not want.
Ideally, providers want to know your wishes by speaking directly to you, so it is a good idea to talk to your doctor and your healthcare decision maker while you can. If something happens to you and you are unconscious, in a coma, or unable to talk, the POLST form can be completed by the individual you trust to make medical decisions for you– such as your healthcare agent (person you named on a healthcare power of attorney form), or surrogate (legal guardians, parents of a minor, and other decision-makers as defined by the Illinois Healthcare Surrogate Act list in order of priority).
The Illinois POLST form is valid in Illinois. If you are traveling to another state, it is recommended that you take your healthcare power of attorney form and your POLST form with you. Both documents, even if not legally binding in that state, will help healthcare providers know your wishes.
At this time, the Illinois POLST form is available in Spanish. Because the healthcare team must take immediate action in an emergency, it is a good idea to also fill out the form in English, even if you already filled a POLST form out in Spanish.
The POLST is specifically designed to assure that an individual’s treatment choices for end-of-life care are respected whether the choices are full treatment, selective treatment or comfort measures only. The orders on the form are based on a patient’s medical condition and his/her treatment choices. Use of the POLST form is completely voluntary. A POLST form is completed only after a discussion of end-of-life choices between a patient or his/her legal decision-maker and physician.

Memorial Park Cemetery
30th Street & Blackhawk Road
The acres just east of Rock Island’s 30th Street and north of Blackhawk Road overlooking the Rock River valley look like a park. Nearly a thousand years ago, the mound-building Woodland predecessors of the Sauk and Mesquakie Indians recognized the beauty there when they created a resting place for their dead on the property.
After the Sauk and Mesquakies were forced from their lands, the gently rolling terrain was used for agriculture. In 1925, the site returned to its ancient cemetery use under the name Memorial Park. An aerial view of Rock Island’s Memorial Park, as it appeared around 1940, is shown on this’s Real Photo postcard from Shannon Hall’s collection.
The Memorial Park Cemetery Association was organized in 1925 with three stockholders, all Rock Islanders. H. H. Cleaveland, Sr., who owned the majority of shares, was prominent in insurance and banking. James B. Eckhart and Ira H. Buffum jointly operated a real estate firm. Their plans called for a new, non-sectarian, cemetery to be comprised of 39 acres of the former Schroeder farm, located outside city limits on 30th Street (then called 30th Street Road) just north of Blackhawk Road, which was called Rock River Road.
The three stockholders announced they would retain most of the stock shares, but would sell to sell “a few” shares to other Rock Islanders. The impetus for the cemetery is unclear. It may initially have been a for-profit venture, but that status was soon put aside. It may also have been a perceived need for “perpetual care” to prevent future neglect of the cemetery land.
From the very beginning, Memorial Park Cemetery advertised “perpetual care,” a new concept for the 1920s. This meant that, rather than relying on revenue from gravesite sales to provide maintenance, a portion of each sale was set aside in a trust fund. The income from that trust would ensure adequate maintenance long after all the sites are sold, so that that Memorial Park would remain a beautiful place forever. Today this concept is called “endowment care” and it is still in effect at Memorial Park.
In 1926, the land was surveyed and the layout designed by local civil engineer Wallace Treichler. He titled his plan “Memorial Park – the Cemetery Beautiful.” Within the cemetery, Treichler named the 20-foot wide winding roads for trees – Walnut, Aspen, Poplar, and Linden among them — while the wider main road was Memorial Way.
Treichler’s plan shows three entrances, one on 30th Street, another on Blackhawk Road and a third at their intersection. By the time of the postcard the corner access was gone. Today access is limited to 30th Street.
Mr. Cleaveland and his partners announced that D. P. Cronin and William McClain of St. Louis, called “experienced cemetery development men,” would also work on the project, perhaps in the marketing. They may have been associated with the American Necropolis Association, a St. Louis organization that owned cemeteries throughout the country, although we found no evidence that Memorial Park joined that group.
Memorial Park was reported to be the first area cemetery with an exclusively Masonic area. In 1938, newspaper articles called it one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the area, noting that 1200 burials had taken place. Today that number has grown to 13,000 and there is plenty of room remaining. Memorial Park now has online help that enables genealogists, families, and historians to search burial records. Look for http://www.rimemorialpark.com/ and click the internment button. In a test of that website, we found that all of its founders and designers – Cleaveland, Eckhart, Buffum and Treichler – chose Memorial Park as their final resting place.
Although the Treichler design is largely unchanged, some additions have been made over the years. The cemetery currently contains 59 acres and six mausoleums. The first mausoleum, which also holds a chapel, was completed in September 1967. Another historic addition to the cemetery is an obelisk dedicated to war veterans that was unveiled on November 12, 1939, the eve of yet another great war that would create many more veterans.
Mark Huggins is the manager of Memorial Park and secretary-treasurer of its board, following his father George in that position. Both show pride in the beautifully maintained grounds and note that residents from nearby neighborhoods enjoy quiet strolls here. Consider taking your own walk through this historic cemetery. Wouldn’t Memorial Day be an appropriate time?
This article by Diane Oestreich is slightly modified from the original, which appeared in the Rock Island Argus and Moline Dispatch on April 18, 2004.

Now we have a proud car tradition in the United States but, surprisingly, not many people know too much about this country’s automotive history. Andreas Tschiesner: In addition to what Asutosh simply talked about on the willingness of shoppers to switch manufacturers for higher connectivity choices, we additionally found out that 86 p.c of the consumers are looking for driver-help systems , which bring up security, which finally also, in case you have degree-three and level-4 autonomy in the cars, also are fully new use cases.
We’re building a community of suppliers and industry stalwarts second to none – and our automotive manufacturing trade grew 25 percent over the previous 5 years. The other basic change in shopper behaviour that might be catalyzed by autonomous autos is the rise of mobility-as-a-service (or transportation-as-a-service).
A number of the predominant trade associations embody Odette which serves the European automotive industry. With this velocity of progress within the trade and attraction of investments, Mexico may attain the 4th position in car producers after China, USA and Japan.
To come here, to build right here, to construct model here, and to construct reputation here nonetheless is sensible.†That logic explains Volkswagen’s transfer to speculate $800 million to make electrical automobiles at its plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., and a joint venture between Toyota and Mazda in an meeting plant in Huntsville, Ala., he added.
Machining strategies are used broadly within the automotive industry for manufacturing completely different vehicle elements similar to outer body sheets, inside parts, and windscreens. If the federal government have been to – because it appears – introduce incentives for individuals who purchase an electric car by scrapping an previous diesel or petrol car, 12 months 2019 could actually be the turning level for the growth of electrical mobility in Italy.
Employment in Alabama’s automotive manufacturing sector now approaches forty,000, surging from just a few thousand within the days earlier than Mercedes. Here, automotive firms have the sources and companions at their fingertips to drive innovation and bring change to roadways.
It provides huge potential – it is what makes the potential of autonomous driving doable, while the switch of information makes it potential to attach the automotive to the outside world and enhance the motive force experience. Georgia is a premier destination for automotive producers and the technology companies which might be developing the transportation system of the longer term.

Made a new bread this afternoon. Just had a slice, and it’s hearty and wheaty tasting!
Modified from my regular 100% whole wheat recipe that I based on the Walnut Whole Wheat Bread recipe from King Arthur Whole Grain Baking book.
- 2 Tbsp Almond Oil (olive oil or any other vegetable oil)
- 2 Tbsp of molasses (or honey)
- Approx 1 cup plus 3 Tbsp lukewarm water (IMPORTANT: the molasses is mixed into the water to equal a total of 1 cup plus 3 Tablespoons)
- 1 tsp salt (I use sea salt, and lowered the amount from my previous recipes; I’ll probably lower it even more next time)
- 12 oz or 3 cups – mixture of traditional and white whole wheat flour.
- 2.5 tsp instant yeast
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 1/4 cup wheatgerm
- 1/2 cup raw hulled (unsalted) sunflower seeds
- 1 Tbsp dried Rosemary herb
I use a Breadman bread machine on the “dough” setting and find that it works very well for my needs.
- Pour 2 Tbsp oil into bread machine pan.
- Using a liquid measuring glass (pyrex), measure about 1/4 to 1/2 cup hot water, and add molasses (or honey) and stir to dissolve.
- Add enough cold water to equal 1 cup liquid, then add 3 more tablespoons water. The liquid should end up being luke warm, not hot.
- Pour molasses & water mixture into the bread machine pan.
- Pour 1 tsp salt into bread machine pan. (I use sea salt)
- Using a food scale, measure 12 ounces of whole wheat flour. For this particular bread, I used about 3/4 traditional and 1/4 white. I love King Arthur White Whole Wheat flour, but I was running low! You can use any combination of either whole wheat flour. If you do not have a food scale, measure 3 cups of whole wheat. Pour flour into the bread machine pan.
- Measure 1/4 cup cornmeal, 1/4 cup wheat germ, 1/2 cup raw hulled sunflower seeds, and 1 Tbsp dried rosemary herb. Add to the bread machine pan.
- Add 2.5 tsp instant yeast to the bread machine pan.
- Start the bread machine on the “Dough” setting. Watch the texture of the dough to make sure that the consistency is smooth, and not too dry or wet. I check after about 5 minutes of mixing, and add more flour or water if needed. It should be forming a smooth ball as it’s mixed and kneaded.
- Let the bread machine do its thing. My Breadman mixes/kneads for 30 minutes and rises for 60 minutes, for a total of 1.5 hours. I set my cell phone timer to remind me when time is up so I don’t let it sit for too long after the first rise.
- Once it’s done, lightly grease a plastic cutting board and transfer the dough from the bread machine to the board. Your hands should be greased as well.
- Gently pat down the dough and flatten it into a large rectangle shape. The dough might be thick. Roll up the shorter side of the dough and keep rolling/folding until it’s shaped into a loaf. Press the last part of the dough into the loaf so it’s melded into one piece, folding the sides under. You can also shape the dough into a round boule for baking in a 2 qt round cast iron pot.
- Carefully transfer dough to a loaf pan. I don’t use non stick pans, so I line a glass Pyrex loaf pan with a sheet of parchment paper.
- Cover with a large bowl or towel. I use a big Rubbermaid plastic container. Allow to “proof” until it’s risen to 1 – 1.5 inches over the top of the loaf pan. My loaves rise very quickly in about 50 minutes, but it might take 1 to 2 hours.
- Bake in 350° oven (preheated if you have time) for 30-50 minutes. I baked for 30 minutes covered with an aluminum foil tent over, then 30 minutes without so the crust could crisp. Check the internal temperature of your bread and when it reaches 190°, it’s done! I bake in a counter top confection oven.
- Remove from pan and allow to cool on rack.

Note: I tried something different this time, but didn’t add it to the instructions. After the bread machine started the initial mix, I stopped the machine for 13 minutes and just let it sit quietly (autolyse). I have no idea if it made a difference in the bread, but it is something I wanted to try.

- Gold does what it’s supposed to do when global hot spots heat up
- Hmmm… The less people know about North Korea, the more hostile they are
- Kim Jong Un isn’t crazy, says Jim Rickards: But he’s miscalculating badly
- What a preemptive war on North Korea would look like
- Trade war with China could raise the price of a beer
- The Street hates on Disney… the $17,000 Luna bar (almost)… the trouble with options… and more!
Yesterday afternoon, gold assumed its role as a “safe haven” amid the proverbial “geopolitical tensions”….
Gold popped more than $5 the instant the president threatened to unleash “fire and fury like the world has never seen” if North Korea makes any threats to the United States. And it’s added another $11 since then; at last check this morning the bid is up to $1,272 — retesting its highs of last week. In addition, if mainstream sources are to be believed, the specter of war is one reason stocks are slumping today.
The whole thing is surreal. Trump made his remarks after The Washington Post published a story citing anonymous sources who revealed the existence of classified analysis that says the North Korean regime has managed to miniaturize its nuclear warheads to fit on missiles.
So the president’s bluster is based on leaks of classified intelligence to a proven purveyor of “fake news.” You can’t make this stuff up.
“War is God’s way of teaching Americans geography,” is the quip attributed to Ambrose Bierce.
In late April, The New York Times commissioned a poll of 1,746 American adults asking them to identify North Korea on a map. The answers were, in a manner of speaking, all over the map.
Only 36% got it right — the responses highlighted here in purple.
And the people who got it wrong, by and large, favored “military solutions” to the North Korean standoff more than those who got it right.
If you have an especially long memory, you’ll recall we cited a similar poll about Ukraine in 2014 — after Washington instigated “regime change” there and Russia responded by seizing the Crimean Peninsula. “The farther their guesses were from Ukraine’s actual location,” write the pollsters, “the more they wanted the U.S. to intervene with military force.”
“With few exceptions, no nation wants a war,” says our own Jim Rickards. “Yet wars happen with unfortunate frequency. Why?
“The answer is miscalculation, misapprehension and misunderstanding.”
As you might know, Jim is on record here forecasting a shooting war between the United States and North Korea late this year or early next — surely no later than mid-2018.
And not because Kim Jong Un is irrational or suicidal, or any of the other media stereotypes. “I don’t think Kim Jong Un is unhinged,” Jim said a few hours ago in an interview with Sky News Australia. “He may be a violent thug, a murderer, a dictator, not a nice guy, but he’s not unhinged. He’s probably making what he thinks are rational calculations, but he’s misjudging Trump.”
Let’s expand on that thought for a moment. To the extent it’s possible, let’s go inside the mind of a Kim Jong Un.
“Kim estimates that the risks of giving up his nuclear program could well be greater than the risks of continuing the program,” says Jim.
Both Muammar Gaddafi in Libya and Saddam Hussein in Iraq had nuclear weapons and missile technology programs at one time. Both leaders gave up those programs — Gaddafi in 2003, and Hussein in the early 1990s after the first Gulf War… Despite giving up their weapons programs, both Gaddafi and Hussein were killed as a result of U.S.-backed actions.
“Yet Kim’s belief that keeping his program makes him more rather than less secure could be a classic miscalculation given the tendencies of Donald Trump.
“President Trump has fired missiles at Syria and exploded the largest non-nuclear bomb in history in Afghanistan. While these missions had their own rationale, most observers viewed them as a show of force intended to convince North Korea that the U.S. would in fact act militarily if Kim does not give up his weapons programs.
“This mismatch of perceptions — Kim’s belief that the U.S. is bluffing and the U.S. insistence that Kim cannot have the weapons he seeks — is the classic recipe for war, and is exactly why war is coming to North Korea soon.”
So if the decision’s been made… What will preemptive war on North Korea look like?
Recall that last month, the State Department imposed a total travel ban on U.S. citizens traveling to North Korea. No more goodwill tours by the former NBA star Dennis Rodman.
“This travel ban is an obvious step in preparation for war,” says Jim. “The U.S wants to minimize the number of U.S. hostages prior to the outbreak of hostilities.”
The same day as the travel ban was issued, Congress agreed on new economic sanctions against North Korea. “Sanctions are part of the march to war, as they have been in prior conflicts with Libya and Iraq,” Jim points out.
“Most importantly, President Trump has called upon Secretary of Defense James Mattis to prepare battle plans for a preemptive war on North Korea,” Jim goes on — designed to eliminate North Korea’s capacity to build nuclear weapons or launch them on ICBMs.
“Complicated attacks such as the one contemplated in North Korea are not improvised overnight. Planning can take a year or two and involves elaborate preparation in the form of pre-positioning troops, vessels, aircraft and other offensive assets, and training extensively for a number of different scenarios.
“The U.S. attack will involve all elements of U.S. military and covert action including cyberwarfare aimed at the North Korean command structure and critical infrastructure, as well as special operations, psychological operations (psyops), drones, strategic bombing and many other salients.”
When North Korea comes under attack, its first and most obvious response will be to rain down artillery on metropolitan Seoul, South Korea — population 25 million.
And yet South Korea’s KOSPI index closed down a mere 1.1% today. It’s up 21% so far this year, even with all the saber-rattling leading up to yesterday.
“No one wants war,” Jim wrote readers of Rickards’ Intelligence Triggers yesterday, “yet there are huge profits to be made for those who see this war coming and take appropriate actions now.” [If you’re not yet a subscriber, there’s another trade Jim is keen on — one that could reverberate from “Earth’s biggest selection” of merchandise to the stock market as a whole. Details here.]
Well, that’s plenty depressing. How about the markets today?
As we indicated above, the Korea jitters might be having an impact on the major U.S. stock indexes. They’re all in the red as we write, although the Dow is still holding the line on 22,000.
Acting as a drag on the Dow is Disney. The Street evidently hates the company’s plans to launch its own streaming service and keep future movie releases off of Netflix. DIS shares are down nearly 4% at last check.
Sorry for a downer episode of The 5 today — how about a beer? Oh wait, it’s probably going to get more expensive if the Trump administration gets its way.
The aluminum can industry is warning about higher prices if the administration slaps new tariffs on China. Steel is the industry mentioned most often, but aluminum is right behind.
“If there are duties on aluminum coming to this country, it will obviously get passed on to us and the customer,” says Molson Coors’ Tim Weiner in a recent Bloomberg article. “Our prices will go up.”
The type of aluminum that goes into a typical beer or soda can comes from an ore called bauxite. It’s in short supply. American aluminum makers could run 24/7 and still need to import about 80% of the metal required to meet demand. It’s simply cheaper to purchase sheets of the alloy from overseas and produce the cans here.
An industry group has sent a letter to the White House, warning that 82,000 U.S. manufacturing jobs could be impacted in industries that rely on inexpensive foreign aluminum.
We suspect the letter will fall on deaf ears… and we apologize in advance for getting back into some depressing weeds here… but as Jim Rickards said here last month, Trump is determined to wage a trade war against China. The only reason it hasn’t started yet is that he was hoping Beijing would lean on the government of North Korea to dial back its nuclear program. Obviously, that’s not happened.
“China,” said Jim, “will not take these sanctions lying down and will impose their own sanctions on U.S. investment in China and U.S. exports to China.”
And so it begins…
On the topic of bureaucracy gone wild, one of our regulars writes from Illinois:
“My wife just flew into Ottawa, Ontario, a couple days ago. She brought some Clif and Luna bars with her, which she didn’t ‘declare’ on those stupid forms they give you before you land. Somehow they saw them and found out she didn’t ‘declare’ them. She was told this was a felony and a $17,000 fine, but was able to talk her way out of it.
“I’ll find out on her return how serious the accusation was, and more specific details, but any way you cut it, this is disgusting. Of course, this is no different in the U.S. — e.g., in 2010, the U.S. Federal Register totaled 81,405 pages (to be fair, not all of these pages are laws), per Jim Hemphill, the special assistant to the director of the Federal Register.
“I haven’t had the heart to look since then how many pages it is now.”
The 5: Oy. Clearly it wasn’t the monetary value of the energy bars — was it the fact they were made from “agricultural products”?
In any event, we mentioned a while back that as of year-end 2016, the number of pages in the Federal Register totaled 82,324…
The 2017 total should be interesting in light of Trump’s executive orders and the item we had here yesterday about “few if any new rules” coming into effect, per the National Federation of Independent Business.
“Come on,” a reader writes after we spent some time yesterday exploring the performance of the early trades in Kinetic Profits.
“I get the point that the width of the bid/ask spread can make ‘marking’ options ‘to market’ problematic. That said, the spread on most big-cap stock options with strikes anywhere near the money and not too far out in time amounts to a few pennies, sometimes just a cent or two. You overstate the problem.
“As to options being a great way to ramp up your return on a trade, that’s true… if you get the direction and the timing right. Most traders don’t. Here’s the real truth. Going long options is a sucker’s game. It makes sense once in a while, but being a smart options trader means being a seller. When you suggest otherwise, you mislead people.”
The 5: We’re not averse to selling options around here. In fact, that’s the whole idea behind our popular Income on Demand service.
Absolutely, if you buy options, you have to get the direction and timing right. But as Alan Knuckman pointed out this morning in his video to subscribers of Weekly Wealth Alert, the low volatility in the market right now makes options dirt-cheap. That raises the odds of success.
The 5 Min. Forecast
P.S. As the morning has worn on, a dangerous complacency is setting in among the elite media: The story goes that Trump “didn’t really mean” what he said yesterday about North Korea. It’s just more “loose talk” of the sort we’ve come to expect from him.
So then why did Defense Secretary James Mattis — you know, the ex-general the media love to play up as the sober, responsible “adult in the room” in contrast to Trump — just issue a statement saying North Korea “should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people”?
This story isn’t going away. If Jim Rickards is right about a U.S. attack on North Korea next year, it will define the direction of markets for months to follow. The mainstream is dismissing it… but we won’t. Gold is already sniffing out what’s going on. We’ll be here to keep you in the loop.
“The dollar has now started its final journey to ZERO,” says Egon von Greyerz of Matterhorn Asset Management. So with inflation knocking on the door: “Gold stands as the guardian.” Read More

On-again, off-again pandemic lockdown measures are just the beginning: The next phase of the elites’ power grab comes early next year. Read More
What does it mean when a gold contract says you own “unallocated” gold? Jim Rickards says: “That means there are no gold bars that have [your] name on them.” Read More
The percentage of U.S. companies that can rightly be called “zombies” is near an all-time high. Read More
James Altucher reacts to critics: “I didn’t mean… ‘Hey, New York City is dead. Let’s dance on the grave.’’’ Rather, James says: “I want New York City to get better!” Read More

The Wool omnibus, which is what I read, is a little tricky to refer to because of its publishing history. I think the majority of readers also read the omnibus edition. The omnibus is a collection of five novelettes (which is a word I dislike, by the way) and was published in 2012. Four of the included smaller “books” were first published in 2011. Anyway, Wool by Hugh Howey is what is being reviewed here, as collected in the omnibus edition.
The reason some of the above publishing history is significant is because the original “book” forms the first 39 pages of the omnibus. Overall, after reading this whole omnibus (a word I am already sick of typing), it feels like Howey really went somewhere different (and better) than wherever he may have been going in that first “book.” Maybe not somewhere entirely different, but I feel like what was written in the second “book” is actually the starting point of the entire storyline. In other words, the first “book” feels so much like background material, that perhaps I would not have entitled it “Wool,” but rather Prelude.
The second “book” is entitled Proper Gauge and for the most part it moves slowly as anything. Many readers might abandon the book at this point – and I totally understand why. It was a slight struggle for me, as well. There’s one sentence where Howey describes one of the character’s walking stick getting stuck in the ridges of the stairs as they go down over 130 “stories” of stairs. At points, the journey seems interminable and the reader does feel like they are actually on a Stairmaster or something. The good thing about this – the reader does get a scope of the size of the environment that really drives home distances and effort. Nevertheless, I think a few pages of this could have been whittled down without harm.
The novel is not written with the intellectual flair and ability of, say, Calvino or Nabokov. This is not really high literature. At it’s base, this is a survival-story told using good, solid writing. The writing is quite good. It just is not anything spectacular. One of the things I did appreciate, repeatedly, was that the author does not utilize many cuss words. I think there are probably ten or twelve instances in the entire omnibus of “bad” words – and they are not all that “bad.” It is refreshing and comforting to read an adult novel that does not feel the need to bludgeon the reader with foul language. For that reason, sure, this novel can (more or less) be read by anyone of any age group. Both of these points means that this novel has a wide audience.
I do not read many books in which the main character is a female. So, for me, this was a somewhat unique read. I liked the character; she is smart, strong, independent, and honest. I feel like there were points where the author could have “overwritten” Juliette – and he refrained from doing so, avoided doing so, and therefore made a really decent character.
The ending is a bit abrupt. On one hand, after 500 pages, I did not think I wanted to read anymore. Not that the work is bad, but one cannot read a story infinitely. On the other hand, the ending just kind of happens within four brief chapters and done. And there is a lot left open for possibility – future novels/storylines and for imaginings of the reader. I am a big proponent of not drawing out endings unnecessarily, but this makes this omnibus seem unbalanced – weighted heavily for the first two sections.
Now, many places categorize this novel as science fiction. Frankly, I do not think this is science fiction. Again, this could start an endless dispute regarding the definition of genres and science fiction in particular. Let’s just take some widely accepted view of the genre – aliens, robots, futuristic, lots of advanced science, space travel, etc. are all common ingredients in such a pie. I don’t think Wool contains any of those. This is just a survival story – a post-apocalyptic (although not perfectly detailed on what sort of apocalypse) story of human survival. No aliens. No time travel. No robots. So, again, the readership on this one should be quite broad.
There is a basic “scenario” hinted at here. The author does cause the reader to think about morality several times throughout this work. The author does present to the reader two views of the situation that the humans survivors find themselves in. There is a question of the “control of information” (which, by the way, is why I suspect many people think this is a dystopian novel). However, nowhere does Howey bludgeon us, grind on us, or proselytize at us about these matters. He tells us an entertaining story in which these are some of the elements of the story.
I have ordered the second omnibus in the Silo Series… I’m given to understand that it is not a direct storyline sequel. That’s fine. On the cover of my book (paperback) the author Justin Cronin writes a blurb saying “You will live in this world.” I think that’s rather accurate. For the majority of the book, I did feel connected to and entrenched in this world. I did not have to struggle to imagine anything and I did not have to work to relate to the characters or scenery.

About UsThe story of Brewery Hops
Taking you to the best craft breweries in Ireland.
At Brewery Hops, we believe that Ireland has so much to offer visitors. From its blossoming craft beer breweries to its many local food producers and whiskey industries that have popped up in recent years.
When it comes to food and drink, Ireland has truly reinvented itself in recent years.
We aim to deliver as immersive an experience as possible. That is why all our tours are small group, with a max of 16 guests. This allows our guests to properly meet the local producers shaking up the industry.
We are also deeply passionate about Irish culture and history and love sharing it with our guests. So besides visiting an abundance of heritage sites on tour, you’ll also be kept entertained en route with stories of Irish history and events.
It’s worth mentioning we also like to travel in style and comfort. Which is why all our tours use a Mercedes 16 seater Sprinter. Perfect for cruising around those Irish backroads and soaking in the stunning scenery.
About Mia Tobin
Brewery Hops driver guide & owner, Mia Tobin is an accredited National tour guide and has plenty of experience in guiding tours all over the island of Ireland, both North and South for the last 10 years. She knows all the off the beaten track routes. As many of the breweries are located in small towns and rural areas, this gives great scope for seeing the Irish countryside whilst still hitting the hotspots like the Rock of Cashel, Kinsale, Killarney, Dingle, Cliffs of Moher, the Burren….
Prior to discovering how wonderful an office behind the wheel driving the by-roads of Ireland and stopping to marvel at how beautiful our little island is, Mia worked for a large global tour operator whilst spending a year in Canada. Her passion is to travel and she has spent much time meandering around the world. In between these many jaunts she did try to toe the Corporate line but always pined for a bit more fun, fulfilment and travel whilst working.
She has found the perfect combination in organising and delivering craft beer and whiskey tours of Ireland and will offer a comprehensive guided tour embracing Irish history, culture, music, unique food and drink experiences whilst enjoying the carefully chosen scenic route.

Just talking about how well reviewed the Rokinon 85mm F/1.4 lens was, and now here's a bit about the Rokinon 35mm F/1.4. First off, this is the same as the Samyang but since it's a different name, you'll save about $100 dollars off the retail price.
For Nikon, the Rokinon 35mm F/1.4 lens actually has a 'focus confirmation chip' built in. Why did they not include this for the other brands? The Rokinon 85mm F/1.4 comes in at an excellent price range, and I would say very affordable. This new 35mm F/1.4 sounds good, but it's going to have some very very stiff competition. In this area you could still get the wildly popular Sigma 30mm F/1.4 for cheaper, and that comes with full Auto Focus.
The Sigma 30mm F/1.4 has already been proven out in the field and is a very sharp lens for cheaper than than the Rokinon 35mm. The Sigma 30mm is just a tad wider, but that's a good thing especially for cropped cameras. If prices don't change, in my opinion the Sigma is the lens to get. A quick note to Micro Four Thirds shooters - the Sigma 30mm F/1.4 has been discontinued for Four Thirds cameras. If you're considering this for a GH2 (would need an FT to MFT adapter), there might be a few left in retail spots like Amazon Here, or check a few eBay Auctions Here.

Matthew Stoll, M.D., Ph.D., MSCS, treats pediatric rheumatology patients at Children’s of Alabama. Dr. Stoll is also an associate professor in the University of Alabama at Birmingham Department of Pediatrics, Division of Pediatric Rheumatology.
The Division of Pediatric Rheumatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and Children’s of Alabama was created in 2007 in response to a great need for pediatric rheumatic care in the state of Alabama, the largest state population without a pediatric rheumatologist at the time. A partnership between UAB, Children’s, the local chapter of the Arthritis Foundation and the greater Birmingham community helped to establish new clinic space, the creation of an endowed chair in Pediatric Rheumatology and ongoing support for the growth of the division.
The Pediatric Spondyloarthritis Clinic at Children’s of Alabama is devoted to the clinical care and research of children diagnosed with juvenile spondyloarthritis. The clinic was established in March 2014. Today, more than 150 children are being treated for spondyloarthritis at Children’s.
According the Arthritis Foundation, nearly 300,000 children — from infants to teenagers — in the United States have some form of arthritis. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common type of arthritis in children, in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s tissues, causing inflammation in joints and potentially other areas of the body.
Spondyloarthritis is one of six types of JIA. It involves inflammation and tenderness in areas where the ligaments and tendons attach to the bones, accompanied by pain and swelling in the joints. In some cases, spondyloarthritis primarily affects the spine. Some forms can affect the peripheral joints, primarily — but not exclusively — those in the legs. Typical symptoms are low back pain and stiffness, joint swelling and pain in areas such as the Achilles tendon.
In addition, some patients with spondlyoarthritis may experience inflammation in parts of the body other than the joints. My research has focused specifically on the links between inflammation in the gut and in the joints of children and adults with spondlyoarthritis.
Children who are referred to the weekly Pediatric Spondyloarthritis Clinic benefit from the continuity of care from a team of doctors with targeted clinical expertise in this area. While there are few effective therapeutic options in the management of spondlyoarthritis, current treatment regimens include conventional therapeutic drugs, as well as newer biologic therapies.
While the exact cause of juvenile idiopathic arthritis, including spondlyoarthritis, remains unknown, clinic patients can participate in our ongoing research that will help advance understanding of pediatric spondyloarthritis.
The Pediatric Spondyloarthritis Clinic also provides screening and treatment specifically for temporomandibular joint arthritis (TMJ), a joint frequently ignored in children with JIA as a whole.

Mr. President Xi Jinping,
I’m Liu Xia, citizen of the People’s Republic of China. I have been placed under house arrest in my own home since October, 2010. That deprives me of my personal freedom. However, no one has told me why I have been subjected to house arrest. Thinking about it over and over again, I conclude that, in this country, it must be a “crime” to be the wife of Liu Xiaobo.
I believe the sentence handed down to my brother Liu Hui on June 9th, 2013, is completely unjust. I question whether the judiciary, even the entire apparatus of state power, is being misused.
With the rule of law of our time, the state ought to be working to deliver justice, not to ruthlessly suppress people with the aid of violence. Any incident in which individual rights are denied can lead to tragedy, casting a dark shadow over the legitimacy of state power.
Criminal justice can be manifest only through individual cases. I cannot imagine how we can expect justice when the rights of a defendant are circumvented, or disregarded altogether, in any given case.
Mr. President, the Chinese dream you have proclaimed has to be a dream for each and every Chinese citizen to seek and to realize. I hope it will not turn into a “Chinese nightmare” for some citizens like myself.
Today is the traditional Dragon Boat Festival. Can you envision how my family feels as we spend this Chinese holiday?
Citizen Liu Xia
June 12, 2013

is it possible to change the port that the asterisk box will listen for iax softphones to connect on becides the default 4569?
In iax.conf :
[quote=“WillKemp”]In iax.conf :
can you have multiple ones listed?
Doesn’t look like it.
However, if you used NAT on the asterisk box, you could redirect other ports to the IAX2 port.
i think you can have multiple in cvs-head. (im unsure though but its worth googling for, it might be only for ip’s or only for sip).
Maybe you’re right. I’ve got a recent (maybe two weeks old) CVS-head version running here and the iax.conf file from that version has the following:
;bindport=4569 ; bindport and bindaddr may be specified
; ; NOTE: bindport must be specified BEFORE bindaddr
; ; or may be specified on a specific bindaddr if followed by
; ; colon and port (e.g. bindaddr=192.168.0.1:4569)
;bindaddr=192.168.0.1 ; more than once to bind to multiple
; ; addresses, but the first will be the
; ; default
The implication here is that there could be more than one port - if they’re specified as part of bindaddr statements.
etc. Or whatever.
This will probably only work with recent CVS versions though.

Yes, it’s the 15th anniversary of the most seminal event in modern American history.
It’s a hugely traumatic event, and not just to each as individuals, but to our collective consciousness. And that part was planned, just as the attacks were.
“They” wanted it to go deep and to carry far; to be apart of our DNA and to never be able to heal from.
And that plan has succeeded in many ways.
So, it makes sense if you don’t want to see anything on this today. You just want to have a nice weekend and rest, be with family, do a small prayer and then move on.
But I urge you to take time to remember…really remember.(If you are young, and have little or no memory of this event, then you REALLY must pay attention.)
You must remember, not so much the the event itself (because that is in your memory forever) but the LIES. The vast web of lies that have been coming since day one.
Remember, so that we never lose sight of the fact that this event DOES NOT ADD UP IN THE OFFICIAL STORY. Remember, so that you and others will continue to press for the truth. Remember, so that our offspring and those who are just now awakening will understand that control and the taking of liberty are ALWAYS planned and never random.
Liberty has been stolen and liberty has been given away…ask yourself, which is it that you have contributed to? Are you buying the story? Or do you question even a part of it?
Take a hard dose of reality today, just make yourself look one more time, because until we do…until WE ALL LOOK..its never going to get better and it always going to happen again.
I’ve added a menu item at the top, EDUCATION. Go up and you can see the first page is 9-11. It isn’t exhaustive, but it has very good links and can get you back to the questions that need answering.
This summer I visited the World Trade Center site in NYC, and did ceremony there for the fallen.I will never ever forget the feeling I had being there and the creepy way the “memorial” affected me.
It is, in my opinion, a memorial to the act itself, and not to the horrendous loss of life or the people who were killed and continue to die from the chemicals and asbestos that were thrown into the air. I found it nauseating to be there and see the “Drains” that continue to suck the energy down, pulling from the names on the walls.
I feel the museum is only there to perpetuate the story. Sell some key chains, t shirts, whatever and make some money off this tragedy in perpetuity. The new WTC building is an obvious symbol of …something, and I’m not sure what exactly but it ain’t good. And that transit site…the oculus…yep, its a tribute to the all seeing eye.
I realize you may have a different opinion of the site, and I respect that.
But I’m not good with the lies and the obvious cover ups, and neither should you be. you should at the very least, have some questions!
So please, take some time to day and do something about this situation. Sign a petition, talk to someone and ask questions, get a conversation going. Meditate and pray. Do a ceremony to bring in truth and clear away deception.
When we look at things together, as a human race, at the same points in time (such as today) we DO have results.
Take a look today and use the search engine. Make them realize that you are looking for answers. Put in things like”Building 7″ or “9-11 truth” or Rumsfeld 2.3 trillion or anything GWBush or Cheney or Chertoff or Silverstein…
Just do something that promotes education, healing and truth. Anything.
Meditation to join:
Petitions to sign: (find more out there! Get searching!))
(I recommend all the “suspects” videos, they are short and to the point)
(I may update this page later today. I’m off now to prepare for the meditation)

EEDURO Robot Family
EEDURO stands for the EEROS Education Robotics Platform. The goal of this project is to create a number of small, low cost, educational robots. These robots run EEROS and are designed as a platform for experimenting with EEROS. Currently, there are two main robots in development: a delta robot and a seven-axis robot. There is also a mobile robot with a Stanford drive in the early stages of development. A BeagleBone Black running Linux acts as a controller for the EEDURO robots.
This high speed SCARA robot was designed for use with EEROS to demonstrate the capabilities of a parallel SCARA setup.
High Precision Components Positioning
Using EEROS and an industial SCARA robot, a high precision system for positioning small electronic components was created.

Repeat Standing Water
Reported in the Potholes / Highway Condition category anonymously at 11:51, Saturday 14 March 2020
Sent to Northamptonshire County Council 4 minutes later. ref: 2061016.
Whenever there is prolonged rain standing water collects on the left of the road going towards Wootton. While it is not that deep it covers half of the road and when going through can cause it to cover the car.
As the standing water is on a corner it is not safe to avoid as you cannot see oncoming traffic.
Unsure why water collects here.
Thank you for reporting a fault. We will use the information you have provided to assess and prioritise this fault in accordance with our published response times for fault reports.

My ex-boyfriend perished in December 2011. I was the co-authorized user on his 5 bank cards. I don't have the money to settle his $25,000 credit card debt. I am meeting my expenses through Social Security income. I live in a flat. I spend around 60 percent of my monthly income to cover rents. I need the remaining forty percent of my income to operate my children.
Credit repair is crucial to saving cash on insurance, loans, and credit cards, that is only one reason to repair your credit. A better credit standing opens up new job opportunities, even promotions credit report and raises using your current employer. If you dreams of starting your individual business or maybe want the safety of knowing it is possible to take credit when you wish to, you should fix your credit score at some point.
All of the three major verifying agencies have online forms that you could fill in for those who have a bad judgement in your credit file. Don't use these forms. It is simpler to just assemble your data and facts proving that the negative judgement is wrong and send correspondence on the credit agency. Proof can be quite a receipt that implies that payment is made, a bill displaying an adverse balance, or a letter in the lender stating how the bill has, actually, been resolved.
Perhaps the most initial phase of this process should be devoted to the ability to retrieve a credit history. A large percentage of people are unacquainted with precisely what is on their own reports which ends up in confusion about where they stand from the rating system. Many options are around to get a copy totally free which needs to be taken advantage of.
Do they look familiar to you? Do they sound too good really was? That is because they really are too good to be real. These are the usual claims that shady credit organizations offer their unwary victims. It is usually those people which can be experiencing a bad credit score or bankruptcy which can be most susceptible to such illegal practices because of their desperation to rebuild their damaged fico scores and reports. For a fee, those companies "guarantee" that your credit report will probably be cleaned up to help you apply and acquire approved to get a car loan, insurance, home loan or perhaps get hired for any job. The usual case is because they can't deliver their claims in the long run. There are many times when after consumers pay hundreds and even thousands of dollars about bat roosting companies they mysteriously disappear using money. The fico scores of consumers even get worst than before plus they result in even deeper downside to worse credit scores.
Write something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview.

The giants of the wine media have been raving about Napa’s Stags Leap district for years. This “valley within a valley” about four miles north of the town of Napa is small – only about 2,700 acres, roughly half of it under vine – but its unique properties are well known in the wine world. Most wine writers describe the region’s wine with variations of the phrase “power and elegance.” The large diurnal swing in the area creates the perfect balance of acid and sugar as well as a longer growing season, which many Bordeaux varietals thrive on.
The 2013 vintage was notable for its bumper crop of high-quality fruit with excellent aromatics. That certainly comes through in this big-boned yet refined Merlot. It’s friendly and fruit forward without being simplistic, hitting the palate with a heady rush of fruit and spices: plum, red fruit, cinnamon, a touch of cloves. Later the spices turn savory and laced with caramel. Typical of Stags’ Leap wines, the tannins are refined and soft but not pallid. It should age very nicely for at least two or three years. We found a great deal on it at Southern California Costco outlets for $16 – typical price elsewhere is around $28. At even that $28 price point it’s a worthy bottle.
Given the history of Stags’ Leap vineyard we thought it appropriate to pair this wine with the 1952 Kirk Douglas classic The Bad And The Beautiful. Arguably one of the greatest Kirk Douglas performances of all time. A great film about the glamour and the grit of Hollywood’s golden age. If you’re in the mood for a great classic with an amazing cast and story – this is it. Bold, Beautiful, Powerful and Elegant – all rolled into one and then delivered in a glass, thanks to the 2012 Stags’ Leap Merlot.

Stack Overflow is seen by many as the most toxic place on the internet for tech professionals. It’s trying to change that with a fresh code of conduct.
If you write code for a living, you’ve almost definitely visited Stack Overflow. It’s a sensational resource for tech pros, but also a microcosm of a larger issue within tech: People on Stack Overflow just aren’t nice to one another.
Now, Stack Overflow says it wants to re-establish itself as “a community that is rooted in kindness, collaboration, and mutual respect.” It’s also clearly defining its expectations to users. If you’re there to get help, be open to receiving it. Meanwhile, those on Stack Overflow to answer questions should “be patient and welcoming.”
It also asks users to be “clear and constructive,” and ultimately “kind and friendly.”
Stack Overflow also provides examples of “nice.” Instead of saying “you could Google this in 5 seconds,” – a phrase Stack Overflow undoubtedly pulled directly from the site – it suggests the following response:
This is called Invariance and Covariance. If you Google it, you’ll find tutorials that can explain it much better than we can in an answer here.
A new three-point enforcement policy is in place for those who violate the new code of conduct. First, you get a warning. “For most first-time misconduct, moderators will remove offending content and send a warning,” writes SO. “Most issues are resolved here.”
The second step is suspending your account for “one day or more,” depending on the violation. In “very rare” instances, account expulsion is the final step. Stack Overflow admits moderators have full discretion, so it’s very possible an offender could receive multiple warnings or day-long bans before more serious action is taken.
Stack Overflow is undoubtedly aware of its own platform issues. This code of conduct seems to serve two purposes: it helps clean the site up (moving forward), and will polish the company’s reputation. It may also influence the tech community beyond the site itself, given the latter’s reach and influence.
GitHub’s 2017 open-source survey (there was no 2018 survey) shows an outsized number of tech pros have witnessed or experienced rudeness on sites such as GitHub and Stack Overflow. Name-calling, stereotyping, and “serious incidents” were all witnessed by at least ten percent of respondents; 21 percent of those who witnessed rude behavior stopped contributing to projects thereafter.
GitHub’s solution is democratic. It can’t directly control open-source projects, but has created ‘open source guides’ for repo managers. One of the guides is ‘Your Code of Conduct,’ which helps open-source managers know how to enforce violations.
Both GitHub and Stack Overflow are critical for tech professionals, so it’s good to see them proactive about how we treat each other online. Stack Overflow was in desperate need of cleaning up; its former ‘be nice’ policy was a nudge not felt by many. In a blog post, SO admits it “needed to be way more specific about what we meant when we were asking people to be nice.”

It is also possible to spend time. The majority of us have but fail to do so because of our other commitments. Perhaps you always wanted to build your own business. Go do it.
If you online dating men Sandspit then continue to work on yourself. Address what is keeping you out of savoring the joys of a relationship that is whole and developed and out of being the sort of partner your Saint-Hubert QC is backpage escorts legit deserves.
The first side is the normal side which consists of both feminists, serenity preachers, puppy lovers and meals porn enthusiasts and the side, that contains gloomy, trolls, misogynists and annoying people. You might not link yourself with the second kind but your visits to their webpages and liking what they post might have a severe effect on the impression you have been working so difficult for. You have to make sure that you enjoy the pages that are funny or controversial.
This amount of work has to be maintained throughout the interaction. If she starts off distant and behaving like a model that needs guys to kiss her toes, you then pull down the total amount of girl fuck buddy wanted Saint-Hubert that you put in the date. Less interested in her, look distracted, cut off her while she change the topic and is speaking as if what she's saying is dull.
They leave common sense and use photos that give singles the wrong perception of who you are. Choose an image that shows your face, but also portrays your personality.
Carrie is a musician who performs for a massive symphony. Since she transferred to the West Coast six decades 14, she's been single. She's had several relationships that each lasted over six months. She wanted to talk about the previous two.
Remember that this individual whoyou're choosing to be with is not. He is not that person, although he may have characteristics that remind one of your parent /caregiver /teacher. You have to choose wisely who you spend in and how you operate as people that are consenting and are an adult.
An honest girl who stands up for herself and has actual worth could be irresistible to a man. Everyone wants to be with somebody they could completely trust. Most women say something unfortunately and do another.
His Voice An man is not afraid to express his own remarks his voice is attention. He does not shout but he talks at a large quantity that is enough to grab your attention and keep your attention.
There are narcissists that are accomplished in life together with degree or education. It gives them an advantage since they can build on their natural skills and these traits to impress and later manipulate people in positions unreachable for additional, less skilled opportunists. They understand that some folks will become wise to their strategies, and across others they may act much more aggressively and carefully around specific circles for this reason. Once they attain a standing in a neighborhood, they can have more access combine and to confidence groups which are privileged and more private in nature. This may be achieved by moving a corporate ladder up or impressing pregnant escorts backpage Saint-Hubert Québec management with an idea or proposal.
For me personally, there are such vital items that I have to have. Are you prepared? He really needs class. There's nothing appealing then a guy who has no manners for that issue and no flavor. I don't have any time for that. He has to make me laugh! The majority of my life I have been a person internally, so I need someone that may bring this little girl in me out and has a Saint-Hubert fuck buddy neuchatel. I really like to laugh, so this is essential. Third, he has to be bright. Those gorgeous guys and I have met out there, who while I adored looking left me shriek Saint-Hubert Québec using online dating sites! There's nothing sexier than a bright man with the confidence.
WHAT OFFSRPING IS YOUR RELATIONSHIP BIRTHING? You replicate whatyou're. The features that your relationship or union owns are exactly what you'll multiply during the nickelback casual sex Saint-Hubert QC.
Women generally are seeking a link. They do not open up to a male they don't really feel comfortable with or have a connection with. Its simply not something they do. You have to gain depend on first. Prior to you do that you have to get a reaction as well as prior to that you have to obtain a suit. So exactly how do you get a suit? Below is what I assume the ultimate online dating profile should resemble. I personally have had success with this account template. Its everything about growing seeds and making them desire you as well as not vice versa. If the destination is not there then there is no saucy.com online dating service to continue to hound or pester a suit that you have actually made on any kind of one of these dating apps. But initial lets talk regarding your profile.
We already established that you shouldn't ever take her to a fancy pricey restaurant where should you take her? The date is not determined by what you do, where you go or how much money spent. It is about how much fun you have with the girl.
I am terrible with taking photos of myself however. When I head out with my buddies, I never take photos. I don't go so I do not have pictures of me standing in the front of the Eiffel Tower travelling. I don't go so I don't have any fitness center selfies. The only pictures I have are ones that I took prior to a night out, in the front of the mirror I use to do my makeup, so all my photos look pretty much exactly the same! I am aware of this and I try to search so when in my profile that they don't look! Consequently, if you just happen to get a variety of pictures of you doing different things and in different areas and with various people, use them! 1Saint-Hubert backpage altwrnatives for escorts suggestion, however, as men seem to make this error a lot, do not make all of your photographs a group shot with multiple men and women. As I want to decode which one he is out of multiple group shots this is one of my pet peeves. Which is the frequent face in these photos? Hmm, both of those men were in those two other photographs. This man is the common one in all of them.
I labored in biology research labs with older people and Asians( like the hot Asian girls from porno massage parlors, the middle- aged, non- English speaking variety) ; not exactly a combination that's likely to supply dateable co- workers as well as guys my age I could be- friend and hit the pubs with.
A lot of feelings emerge when you look another individual at heart. This moment may be called the" moment of truth" because in that instant, they're equally aware of what another person is feeling( at least) . When close friends find themselves they'll often look each other in the eye. Sharing one's eye contact along with the entire assortment of feelings behind it with somebody states, " I'm ok with myself, how are you? " This was the only" energy" Randy had back in school: he had been comfortable with himself, a sense otherwise known as confidence. The reason wasn't since it was inherently intimidating, but instead due to his relaxation with himself represented my own lack of confidence. Not feeling comfortable enough to discuss your eye contact could be interpreted too not considering hiding something, or opening up. Either way, when a individual jumps right into a rut at this stage rather than communicating their underlying feelings vulnerably the movement toward greater familiarity is halted.
She will begin to look in a manner that is different. To her that states in a way that you understand her, and you care for her. And don't forget, that when it comes to a girl looking forher'man in amillion', then it could be YOU! This is very powerful stuff to comprehend indeed! It generates her hard for her to explain, but also feelings of attraction in a woman which is not just powerful. If you and women can GENUINELY connect you are going to come across as being true and your confidence levels on an individual level will be unstoppable.
It flips the usual energetic and gives them a route to be more straightforward than women will be. This is a great little screening question, to find the women who will be down to types of prostitutes Saint-Hubert with hardly any prep work on your own end.
Wait does that mean the large" O" isn't about orgasm? Instead of getting stuck on the end of the action, let us focus on the entirety of this act of earning love. Therefore that the" O" I am talking about is your objective. What is your objective? What are you currently searching out and why? And in the course of your research are you to seeing this life doesn't have a Superman, opening up your view to understanding Saint-Hubert backpage escorts pornhub, nor is each girl that a Victoria's Secret model? We do not walk on water. There's no Cupid flying round only waiting to pop you. What is your aim in your search for love? Is it bliss? Is it love? Is it? Are you bored? Are you sad? Are you hooked? Have you got a fetish? Tally your answers up are you, if you wear them daily, or you hide them in your cupboard. These are your needs, your dreams. Are you committed to the hookers corner ideal of being yourself? Because the key to a loving Saint-Hubert QC hookers in park is being able to let your hair down, having the ability to live the life that you are developed for really. That's why venture is so important. And, as I have mentioned before, the game is bothersome. It's a formidable opponent, especially if we go into it with the erroneous perceptions as our objective. And if we go into it thinking that each and every person is dangers of dating apps to have a six- pack, a rock hard penis, going to have sex for half an hour at a time and be each bit of this enthusiast of Antonio Banderas in Zorro, or a character in The Notebook. Yes, women, you're only waiting to be pinned down on the floor on a rainy day, with a fire brewing and the man carrying you for the third time to the highest levels of Saint-Hubert Québec xhamster granny fuck buddy, kissing every part of the body from the toes to your nose, not leaving one inch untouched. Looking longingly into your eyes saying, " I love you. I want you. I need to be inside of you. " Doesn't that just stir your pot? And as a guy, enter the cherub- like, Victoria's Secret model in your workplace, closing the door behind her so skimpily clad, dropping her documents, straddling you and finishing off you before dinner, so that you could straighten your tie, then head back outside and tell her to fax that information for your client. I know, it sounds too crazy but it is depicted in films. I believe that we have lost our Saint-Hubert Québec coke and hookers lottery of reality.

Expansion is a process from one phase to another. The basic principle of expansion process generally refers to the external heating and pressure to expand the structure of the material and change some of its physical and chemical properties, the use of high temperature and high pressure to vaporize the internal moisture sharply, forming a loose and crisp porous structure, thus changing the characteristics of food raw materials.
Puffing is also a cooking technology that can turn raw materials into cereal puffed food with both nutrition and taste quickly, and process it into a healthy snack, which expands the snack market. The expansion technology has the characteristics of diversified products, high preservation rate of nutritional components, convenient storage, the broad applicability of raw materials, high utilization rate, not to age, simple production equipment, and no pollution.
Our leader company has developed and manufactured a number of expanded food equipment, their main features are:
1. The model is novel in design, compact in structure and high in production efficiency.
2.Reliable work, rugged and durable, low failure rate, convenient operation, and maintenance.
3. The utility model has the advantages of convenient and straightforward to use, stable transmission, and low noise.
4. The main components are unique alloy materials by heat treatment, long service life, and low feed cost.
5.Dry expansion process, self-heating mode, no need for steam system.
6. Screw design has a powerful self-cleaning function, the screw groove can purify itself when changing formula and product variety, there is no need to stop cleaning. The screw has a strong pumping effect, material contamination, and diffusion effect is strong, propulsion speed is faster, product quality is relatively stable.
7. The screw discharge nozzle adopts modular design, which is convenient to adjust and cheap.
8. It can be equipped with an automatic feeding system feeder for the horizontal conveying screw controlled by the latest switched reluctance speed regulating motor in the world. The other end can be connected with the extruder, which can control the puffing output by adjusting the feed quantity (quantitative feeding) and effectively preventing the material from arching).
9. The cutting system and the independent cutting device are convenient, fast, and variable speed cutting tool head, which can easily adjust the gap between the cutting tool and the template. Prepare different models according to the need, ensure the required material diameter and length, and produce various specifications and shapes.
What is the classification of puffed food?
At present, there are four main types of puffed food in the market. The first category belongs to the puffed snack food with more fat and heavy seasoning. Long-term consumption of this kind of food will affect the appetite of the human body, and it is also easy to cause children to eat partial food or obesity, so children should eat less. The second category is less oil, light taste of the elderly food can be used as weight loss people or the elderly food. The third category is expanded cereals, such as puffed corn, millet, ground into a fine powder, warm water mixed paste food, easy to digest and absorb, especially suitable for the elderly and people with gastrointestinal discomfort. The fourth category is designed for infants and young children to eat nutritionally fortified food, such as rice flour, all belong to expanded food.
The technology of food expansion equipment makes full use of the characteristics of raw and auxiliary materials in starch, and produces healthy, nutritious and suitable new expanded food for different populations in the intensive processing of cereal starch, and provides essential technical guidance for the production of the food industry in China.

Inspiring a future in childcare
LEYF is proud to support Tinies Childcare’s Inspiring a Future in Childcare campaign to raise awareness of the opportunities that exist within the childcare sector and to promote the value of the childcare profession in our modern world.
The childcare industry is facing a recruitment crisis with not enough childcarers to fill the childcare jobs. These days many families need both parents to work and finding safe, affordable, quality childcare is invaluable to enabling them to return to work.
So faced with the biggest threat to operators and recruiters in our industry todate: the ever decreasing pool of qualified and quality childcarers entering the profession, Tinies Childcare launched the Inspiring A Future In Childcare campaign.
This campaign is backed by a number of stakeholders including the Department for Education, NDNA, PACEY, Pre-School Learning Alliance, National Careers Service, Education and Employers Charity and The Careers and Enterprise Company and welcome LEYF to their team of supporters.
Through engaging with careers advisors, schools and colleges, with particular focus on engaging with Year 8 and Year 9 students, we can raise awareness and help to make a difference.
The campaign can be supported in a variety of ways; through the display of campaign posters, campaign banners on website, or even offering apprenticeship or work experience placements.
We have also teamed up with the Education and Employers Charity who have a free online service called Inspiring The Future, that connects thousands of schools with volunteers from Apprentices to CEOs, to encourage volunteers from the Early Years sector to sign up and pledge one hour per year to speak to young people about their job or career in their local community or alternatively you can work with your local Tinies branch.
In addition childcare professionals may simply wish to share their story about what inspired them to join the sector. No matter how little or much support you can give, all is welcome.
Naturally we hope that these efforts, alongside the Government’s new, more relaxed stance on students GCSE requirements, will reverse the trend of declining number of people going into childcare and help to show the profession in the higher esteem that it deserves.
To find out how you can get involved, visit https://www.tinies.com/inspiring-a-future-in-childcare, or email [email protected].

Recently I was at a planning meeting with a group of friends. We went around the table and shared what the Lord had been teaching each of us lately. It varied widely; from books we had read to themes we were studying and experiences we’d had. For some it was a particular ministry we were hoping to start or get more involved with.
Later I thought of the evening and realized that this is a perfect picture of friendship. What do true friends do for one another? They share what’s on their hearts and spur one another on to pursue what God is calling them to, i.e. “love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24). That evening I was overwhelmingly refreshed and encouraged by these godly women. I felt connected with them and cared for by them.
We’re told in John 15:14-15 that we are Jesus’ friends if we do what He commands. Does that exclude you and me because we sometimes sin? Not at all! No one follows His commands perfectly but we are His friends when we believe in Him and are seeking and pursuing Him. For many years I was consumed with guilt and my own unworthiness and did not believe this, I thought it meant those other people. How can God consider me a friend when I act like this? But scripture says I am a friend of Jesus Christ. He calls me his friend and I must believe it – because it’s true. We must believe truth. Have you pondered this lately?Scripture says I am a friend of Jesus Christ. He calls me his friend and I must believe it - because it’s true. We must believe truth. Click To Tweet
And what does it mean to be a friend of Jesus?
I thought about the characteristics of a good friend, of the ladies and the conversation around the table that night.
- Good friends open their hearts to you.
- Good friends speak kindly, with words of affection.
- Good friends rejoice in your joy and weep with you in your pain.
- Good friends do not condemn, but may at times need to speak a hard word of truth, in love.
- Good friends remind you of what is true.
- Good friends long to spend time with you.
Unfortunately, I don’t often have experiences like that meeting with my friends. The busyness of our lives prevents us from enjoying many sweet times like these. I once had a delightful bossy friend who had the gift of corralling people and making them do fun things: “Hey, put your kids to bed and let’s all go to a late movie!” Her plans were usually successful and we had great adventures together. After she moved away, my life was not nearly as fun.
Sadly enough, our human friends can never fill all these roles for us because we are selfish, inward-focused and sinful. I am sure I have never been this kind of complete friend to anyone! Let’s be quick to forgive one another when we inevitably let each other down in one or more of these areas. And let’s think about how we can become better friends, ones who spread these blessings to others.
And Praise God – We do have a friend like this in Jesus! He is the perfect friend. He longs to be with us and speak words of encouragement and love to us. He chose us to be His friends even when we hated Him and wanted nothing to do with Him. He is our mediator and our Intercessor. He is praying for us right now! And that is truth to ponder and be grateful for.
Will you and I make time to be with our best friend and Savior today?

As walking canes replace running shoes, and the parents who raised us start needing to be cared for themselves, the first dawn of America’s aging boom approaches. But even as the “gray wave” looms on the horizon, the way we treat the workers who care for our elders lags generations behind.
Hundreds of thousands of home care workers remain excluded from the country’s key labor laws. As with many other groups of “excluded workers,” like farm and day laborers, inequities in the law hit immigrants and people of color the hardest. And the stakes are higher in home care industry, in which demand for, and the cost of care, reach unprecedented levels. More people have been moving toward home- and community-based services for the elderly and people with disabilities, as alternative to institutionalization. Evidence indicates caring for people at home is in many cases more cost-effective than conventional nursing homes.
Yet for all the help they provide, home care workers feel a bit neglected these days. Through an arcane provision in federal labor law, Washington has essentially shut home-based health workers from minimum-wage and overtime rules. That means home health aides may be even worse off than regular domestic workers, who are at least technically entitled to federal minimum wage. The Department of Labor has since the 1970s manipulated an exemption for “companion” workers “into a whole exclusion” of some 1.7 million skilled workers, according to a report by the National Employment Law Project:
The result has been to suppress wages for the home care workforce, consigning millions of caregivers — the overwhelming majority of them women, many of them immigrants and women of color — to working poverty. The lack of ordinary overtime coverage has also facilitated excessive hours in small segments of the industry. Long hours are not only grueling for workers but can contribute to worse care for patients, as caregivers working 60 hours or more a week face fatigue and stress in performing what is a demanding job under any circumstances. These substandard working conditions have created very serious employee recruitment and retention problems, generating labor shortages that prevent us from meeting the nation’s rapidly growing need for home care.
The NELP has called on the Department of Labor to revise its regulations to include home care workers under federal wage-and-hour protections. Absent federal protection, only 21 states and the District of Columbia currently provide minimum wage or overtime. Still, the NELP points to those local examples as proof that federal coverage of home care workers is feasible.
The need for regulation has increased as the home health industry assumes a more prominent role in the healthcare system. Medicaid funds support many of the agencies that employ the majority of this workforce. And with the home-health aide workforce expected to surge by about 50 percent from 2008-2018, NELP notes that government oversight has tightened as the sector has boomed, and some states have set up public authorities to administer home care services.
Nonetheless, the workforce is asked to do a lot for very little. Workers carry out not just regular companionship duties but also paramedical services like monitoring vital signs and administering medication. Yet a typical aide can work full-time and still not make enough to live on; the 2009 median hourly wage was just $9.34.
Meanwhile, funding shortfalls and budget theatrics in Washington are driving both parties to attack healthcare for the poor and aging. The latest Republican budget proposal would gut Medicaid through some $100 billion in “savings” over the next decade (directly countering promised expansion of Medicaid under health care reform), plus additional cutbacks in Medicare, which of course provides basic medical coverage for seniors. And adding insult to injury, the budget axe is hovering over their social security checks, too.
Earlier this month, the National Domestic Workers Alliance, which has campaigned for the rights of home-based labor across the country, brought the voices of home-based workers to Washington at the Caring Across Generations conference. Ai-jen Poo, executive director of the Alliance, emphasized the connection between quality care and decent work:
Caring for the aging and people with disabilities is one of our most important responsibilities as a nation. That means protecting the vital services we have — Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security — and creating the quality care jobs, training, and family support that we need.
We live in a political climate that constantly devalues critical service sector work, from teaching our kids to keeping the streets clean. Our elders are growing older in the same hostile climate. So we ought to ask ourselves what society collectively owes to the workers with whom we entrust the health and comfort of loved ones. Your grandmother’s home caregiver, who may be just like a family member to her, has a family of her own to take care of when she goes home at night.

Kids love jokes, but need to learn not make hurtful jokes and then how to deal with hurtful jokes. Here are some hurtful jokes.
Hope these jokes offended you. Offensive jokes illustrate how prejudiced the human race is AND we all have our prejudices. Why?
One reason: Our brains like to keep things simple and easy. Simple leads to the twisted thinking called generalization.
Another reason: Part of being social animals means figuring out where you rank. We constantly compare ourselves to others. Then, we create mean jokes so we will feel better about ourselves by putting others down.
As Gallager, a comedian, notes “I need wrong to get laughs. I need a normal world so that I can be abnormal, and that’s my problem. Comedians need prejudice.”
Thinking you are not bound by some false ideas about groups of people is delusional. Think about the early hurts in your life and how that lead to a prejudice on your part.
Here’s a personal example, when I was five-years old a red-head came up to me on the play ground and for no reason I could figure out slapped me across the face and walked away. And yes, I remain a bit wary about red heads. A personal prejudice that I own and work against.
Prejudices are learned in three ways
- Personal hurts that generalize to a specific group.
- Modeling parental prejudices.
- Following the crowd whether school mates, religions teachers, the media.
PARENTING THOUGHTS and tips
Parenting tip one: Remember age and stage. The younger your child the more hurt by others will lead to prejudices. Think of the stored up prejudices against parents which stay hidden until the teen years. Combat early hurts by clearly labeling some as accidents. Label intended hurts as wrong. Punish your child if s/he intentionally hurts someone.
As your children enter school, gently dispute prejudices particularly those on the media. Talk about why others hurt people. Teach how to handle hurt and anger in healthy ways.
During the pre-teen and teen years talk directly about prejudices. Very useful topic for family meetings.
Parenting tip two: As always you have to clean up your own act, so you model better ways to your children. As the song from South Pacific notes:
You’ve got to be taught to be afraid
Of people whose eyes are oddly made,
And people whose skin is a diff’rent shade,
You’ve got to be carefully taught.
You’ve got to be taught before it’s too late,
Before you are six or seven or eight,
To hate all the people your relatives hate,
You’ve got to be carefully taught!
Parenting tip three: Reduce your prejudices by doing the following.
- Talk of specific acts of specific people.
- When labeling behaviors think of the following words: kind, cruel, dangerous, thoughtless, criminal,evil.
- Some unacceptable words can be linked. These include thoughtlessly cruel, criminally dangerous, or evil and cruel.
- Know that all group labels are guilty of generalizing and generalizing is twisted thinking. Every person is unique and a blend of traits.
- Seek balance.When labeling a person’s behavior think how cruel, how often, to how many. Also think balance: how kind, how often, to how many, and for what reason. Do the same with cultures.
- Remember what matters; be grateful; practice kindness; laugh; play; enjoy the good; speak out against the bad, but in thoughtful ways. What you do and how you do it matters.
- Protest offensive jokes. How? Don’t laugh. Raise you eyebrows and look a bit disgusted. Stay you find the joke highly offensive. Use such jokes as teachable moments for your kids.
- Take less offense if the teller is a comedian or cartoonist. Some cultures suggest killing cartoonists who offend – an evil and cruel practice.
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DO
Remember’s sharing is caring and the easiest way to practice kindness now is to share this post with someone who will find it inspiring. Thank you.

Because I, and many of my peers, colleagues, and supervisors all over the world drink this black gold everyday, all day, and are chemically and behaviorally reliant on it for our daily functions…
The happiness and pride these people take in their coffee feels so much more genuine than the, at times hostile, song and dance the coffee geeks and small-batch packagers that I live around do. At most, the people around me teach me something about coffee in their weird, myopically western way.
Also, to balance out this anthropological episode, I bring you
So be careful with your intake and try to get your body’s worth of sleep!

The Walmart Beauty box is a subscription box that comes out 4 times a year. You sign up for it and it comes automatically every 3 months. These boxes are free and you just pay $5 for shipping.
What was in this box?
Hello charcoal toothbrush.
Calm drink mix.
Head and Shoulders conditioner.
NYX lip oil.
Biore facial cleanser.
I've received the Calm drink powder before and I didn't like it plus it did nothing, so in the trash it went. I can always use a new toothbrush and this one has activated charcoal built right in the bristles which is interesting. It had no taste so why not. The toothpaste is one that I've tried before and liked so that's a plus.
My favorite things though are the lip oil which is more like a slightly tinted lip gloss, the conditioner which makes my hair really soft and the Biore cleanser which works great and smells really good. These boxes have either been a hit or miss for me most times but this one was a good one. They said they won't be sending a Summer box because they are re-doing the boxes to make them better and will have it out after that. But for $5 this was a good box.
Did you receive this box?

AdMaven’s mission is to generate for our customers as much value as we can. We do it by providing you the best traffic. We do it by giving you the best support. We do it by giving you the best advice. We do it by helping you to make the best choices.
Experienced advertisers already know that 90% of the traffic they buy passes from hand to hand, from countless ad exchanges until it reaches their offer. AdMaven has established itself as the biggest ad network specializing in traffic that is being bought from direct sites. We work with over 15,000 direct websites, assuring you that the traffic you are buying is direct and exclusive to us.
The way we can generate our customers more value is by offering them the best and most advanced advertising methods. AdMaven specialize in Push Notifications which is currently the hottest trend in the online advertising industry.
To better understand this format, you first need to understand the difference between Pull and Push advertising:
Pull Advertising – To understand Pull advertising think of a situation when someone searches for a plumber on the Yellow pages and when he reaches the letter “P” the first thing he sees is an ad for a specific plumber. Pull advertising main concept is attracting users who have already shown interest in your product and pulling them to your brand.
Push Advertising – Think of push advertising as a person handing out flyers on the street for a new restaurant. In this advertising method, the main concept is taking the product to the customer, instead of waiting for the customer to come to you.
Now that we established what are Push Notifications and how they work, we wanted to share with you some advice on how to get the best value for your money once you start your first Push campaign with AdMaven:
1. Need first, Brand second
In contrary to Pull advertising, in Push advertising you cannot just promote your brand right away. Before you can advertise your brand’s product, you must first create a need for such a product. For instance, you will not send a Push Notification saying “Choose OURWATERCOMPANY, the best water purifier company”. You first need to get the consumer to want to start using this kind of product. Try a headline saying, “Tap water is bad for your health, start using a water purifier”. thus creating in his mind, the need for such a product. After he clicks on the ad you can elaborate on your brand and say “OURWATERCOMPANY was chosen as the best water purifying company in 2018”.
With Pull advertising, the consumer is already searching for your product and he is more attentive to details. Therefore, he will read all your text, even if it’s longer than average or even a boring text.
With Push Notifications, since the user is not looking for anything at the moment and just casually using his computer, in order to get his attention you have to be more creative. Put a tantalizing image that would excite the user alongside a text that would make him eager to click your ad.
3. Trial and Error
Optimization is key. Many advertisers that start a new campaign, upload a creative they like and just go live right away. Our advice is, start big. when you start a new campaign, try at least 20 different creatives, even some which you think will not convert very well. Different people like different things and even though one may click on a specific creative, sometimes you find out that your target audience has a completely different way of thinking and you need to optimize your campaign according to them.
4. Divide & Focus
Many advertisers in the industry are satisfied with their campaigns. They check every once in a while that their ROI is positive and as long as it stays that way they don’t make any changes. This is a big no no of course. Your campaign is doing fine now, but we think that fine is not enough for our advertisers. Our advice is, start to dig in. Step by step. Identify the different geo’s where you are losing money. Identify the different audiences who are losing you money. Dividing your campaign to “good” and “bad” smaller campaigns is the safest way to ensure you focus on each part individually. That way you can preserve the good parts and fix or stop (if necessary) the bad parts. As a result, the the ROI on your campaigns will grow exponentially.
One extra tip (on the house) – Emojis:
As the headline says, a very simple yet unused tip. People love emojis, they use it all the time in texts when they talk to their friends and as a result, it feels more personal to them. We see a substantial increase in clicks when our advertisers add even one emoji to their Push campaigns, whether it’s just a smiley face or something more fitted to a specific campaign. You have this option, use it, it will only improve your conversions.
Sign-up in the link below to start your first Push campaign or contact us in [email protected] for any question you might have – Our support team is always available for you.

Tom Holland’s Spider-Man Rumored to Appear in ‘Venom’ After All
Just as Tom Holland’s new Spider-Man was getting cozy in the MCU last year, Sony announced plans for their new cinematic universe, one that would be launched by the upcoming Venom and feature Spidey characters. It’s been a back-and-forth of confusion whether Marvel’s web-slinger would ever crossover with Sony’s extended universe, but it was largely assumed that as long as the MCU had its hands on their new Spidey, we wouldn’t see Holland’s superhero in the Sony spinoffs. Now a new rumor has popped up suggesting Spider-Man will appear in Venom after all.
The new film stars Tom Hardy as alien symbiote Venom a.k.a. Eddie Brock. But if Hardy in motion-capture alongside Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate isn’t enough to pique your interest, Venom may also feature Holland. During a new episode of Collider Movie Talk (h/t ComicBook.com), guest Jon Schnepp stopped by and claimed that Holland’s Spidey will appear in the Ruben Fleischer movie. Schnepp says Peter Parker will show up, but guesses it could be as minor as a cameo. But remember, this is just a rumor.
While it may sound normal for Spider-Man to appear in a movie about a Spider-Man villain, the issue comes down to who owns the rights to what. Sony still holds the rights to Spider-Man characters, and with Holland introduced into the MCU, it would make sense for the studios to keep their franchises separate. Marvel’s Kevin Feige previously confirmed that Venom would not be connected to the MCU, but then Amy Pascal confirmed the opposite (while sitting next to Feige), saying Venom and its follow-up, Silver & Black, would exist in the same universe as Homecoming with potential for crossovers. And then the two walked back those latter comments saying they all co-exist, as in, they share the same comic book universe. Mhm, okay.
It’s hard to know what will happen with the future of Sony’s new Spidey universe and whether Peter Parker will have a role in it, largely because the fate of that franchise rests on the performance of Venom. If that movie bombs, you can forget it; but if it does well and the spinoffs continue, maybe we will see Spidey facing off with the alien symbiote in years to come, forcing us all to choose which Team Tom we’ll be on (don’t make me choose!). Until then, prepare to decipher the dialogue of the always indecipherable Tom Hardy when Venom hits theaters October 5.

In the wake of the media furore about Sony deciding to scrap the release of The Interview only one man can stand up to the North Korean regime. That man is me! In an effort to combat censorship and to get a bite of the controversy pie I’d like to present to you Screenkicker’s top five movies featuring everyone’s second favourite part of Korea.
5. Die Another Day (2002)
Or the Bond film with the invisible car. Our friends from NK are the bad guys (bet you weren’t expecting that). The chief villain is Colonel Sun who *spoiler* gets plastic surgery to look like snooty English cad Toby Stephens. There’s also henchman Zao played by Rick Yune who takes a load of diamonds to the face. 007 must race against time to stop Sun from blowing up all the landmines in the DMZ in Korea so that they can invade the south. Amazingly that’s one of the less ridiculous parts of the film.
4. Red Dawn (2012)
The awful remake of Red Dawn originally had the Chinese as the antagonists but sensing that it’s not a great idea to piss off a country with a million man army the producers changed all references of China to North Korea. So why wasn’t Lil’ Kim annoyed about this? Probably due to the movie only being seen by twelve people with most of them being Chris Hemsworth’s family. Poor Liam needs something to keep him busy.
3. Olympus Has Fallen (2013)
Rick Yune is back as another North Korean asshole as he and his platoon storm the White House and take the president hostage. Their plan is to blow up nuclear weapon silos all over the US. President Aaron Eckhart spends most of the film tied to a wall while Gerard Butler sneaks around picking off terrorists. Not to be confused with the almost identical White House Down which is a much better movie. You can see both reviewed here and here.
2. Team America: World Police (2004)
Probably the most famous movie appearance by Kim Jong Il, Team America portrays the dear leader as a lonely little dictator that just wants to be loved. Kim’s grand scheme is to use the Hollywood acting community to assassinate the entire United Nations. It’s up to Team America to take down the nasty little shit and they do it in style with Kim being impaled on helmet of a German delegate.
1. Pulgasari (1985)
Ah, Pulgasari. Probably the most famous North Korean movie ever. Not because it’s a masterpiece. In fact its a cheap Godzilla knock-off about a heroic socialist monster fighting an evil king. No, Pulgasari is famous because the director and star were both kidnapped by Kim Jong Il and forced to make the movie. If you’d like to read the whole unbelievable making of story I’ve written about it here.
It’s yet to be seen whether The Interview will get a release or whether World War Three will break out because of it. Are North Korea going to go after everyone who mocks them? I seriously doubt it. Hold on, there’s someone at the door, I better go see who it is…………..

September 21, 2017 (Week One)
“An interesting mix, capable of beautiful dreams and terrible nightmares.”
-- Carl Sagan
We opened up the program this week by reviewing responses to our first take-home question: What Is America? Most of the participants prepared two to three words, and we listed them on a whiteboard. Here are some of the responses:
- A Melting Pot
We discussed how the United States of America can be all of those things -- and more -- at the same time. We discussed the power of Culture and how it affects how we view events. We discussed how so much of history is a mesh of good and bad things happening simultaneously. We used the examples of how the USA could put a person on the moon without the use of what we would consider "computers" while at the same time committing atrocities in Viet Nam, along with a few other examples.
We then handed out the books; every participant received a new, hardback copy of Howard Zinn's A People's History of the United States, and previewed the first chapter. We discussed how Columbus was a "round-earther" at a time when the flat-earthers were dominant and explored concepts like colonialism and economic colonialism, the cultural need for holidays, what nations generally do with an infusion of wealth, and why the "new world" became an obsession of Europe.
Assigned Reading & Question: I asked the group to read “Chapter 1: Columbus, The Indians, and Human Progress”, for next week, and to come prepared to discuss their thoughts on the following question: Should we celebrate Christopher Columbus?

Frequently Asked Questions
What factors should I consider when choosing a coaxial cable?
Coaxial cable performance depends on several factors. For starters, you must check the cable impedance. You can choose either a 75 Ohms (Ω) cable or 50 Ohms (Ω) depending on the task at hand. Audio and video applications mostly rely on 75 Ohms (Ω), while wireless and data connections can do well with 50 Ohms (Ω).
The other thing that you need to consider is the number of shield layers that each cable has. If a cable has several layers it means it is more insulated and is less likely to experience electromagnetic and radio frequency interference.
Can a coaxial cable cause electrical shock?
Like most electrical conductors, coaxial cables have electrical current flowing through them, so they can cause a slight electrocuting effect. The electrocution is, however, not as intense and is, therefore, considered harmless.
Can I install a coaxial cable next to an electrical line?
No. This is highly discouraged because electrical wires can cause interference in coaxial cables. It is advisable to keep the cables at least 6 inches apart to limit avoid electromagnetic complications.
What is the difference between RG-6 and RG-59 cable?
The main difference between these two cables lies in the size of the conductor. Conductors in RG-6 cables are larger and provide more signal transmission especially when dealing with high frequencies.
On the other hand, RG-59 conductors are thinner, thus making them ideal for low-frequency transmission.
Why are coaxial cables shielded?
Shielding prevents stray signal interference, so the conductor at the center will have a better chance of transmitting data faster and effectively.
Why is copper used in coaxial cables?
Copper is a good conductor of both heat and electricity. It achieves this function because it is packed with numerous free-flowing electrons, which help in carrying electrical transmissions from one point to another.
Coaxial cables are very easy to use; it is just a matter of fixing the connector heads to corresponding ports. To get the best outcome, you have to ensure that the cables are properly installed to prevent unnecessary malfunctions.
Also, the cables should not run near magnetic devices as this may interfere with the signal transmission.
Even though these cables relay a small amount of electrical current, users still have to be cautious when operating them. You can pick any of the cables listed above to give yourself an outstanding audiovisual experience.

Powell promises progress on E911, spectrum issues
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Michael Powell told attendees of the Association of Public Safety Communication Officials (APCO) International, Inc., conference Monday that the FCC is making progress on three most nettlesome issues facing the Public Safety community.
“I am energized by our progress,” Powell said, “and I have a number of key announcements to make today about our future plans.”
In a speech that lasted less than half of an hour, Powell primarily focused on E911 and took no questions. Other high-ranking officials of the FCC did participate in roundtable discussions of regulatory issues, however, at the conference in Indianapolis, Ind.
Powell announced that the Commission is implementing a wireless 911 nationwide public awareness campaign, emphasizing wireless E911 coordination, outreach, and education. “Not all carriers are created E911 equal – and consumers have a right to know,” Powell added, encouraging attendees to educate the public about wireless phones and devices that provide the best E911 compatibility.
Along with consumer outreach, he said, the Commission will intensify efforts to coordinate with state, local and tribal governments.
Powell announced the establishment of a wireless E911 technical subcommittee of the Commission’s Network Reliability and Interoperability Council (NRIC) that will focus on network architecture and technical standards issues. The January 2004 Technical Advisory Committee meeting will be devoted to wireless E911 in an effort to shape the issues to be studied by the NRIC.
“We now know that E911 works and can save lives,” Powell said.
Powell briefly touched on spectrum issues facing public safety and promised resolution without offering a timetable.
“First and foremost, public safety needs reliable access to its existing spectrum resources, particularly at 800 MHz. The interference issues at 800 MHz are very serious and complex. In fact, this may be one of the most challenging spectrum policy proceedings that will come before this Commission,” he said. “I cannot tell you that we have yet resolved these issues; but I can assure you that this proceeding is an absolute priority.”
“The Commission is also committed to speeding public safety deployment in the 700 MHz band,” Powell said. “Whatever the ultimate mechanism, rest assured that we understand the need to make these frequencies available as soon as possible.”
Additionally the chairman said, “We encourage the public safety community to develop creative solutions promoting interoperability including strategic partnerships between governmental and non-governmental users.”
“As you know, the Commission recently made an additional 50 MHz of spectrum available at 4.9 GHz. In our decision, we encourage public safety to develop partnerships with the critical infrastructure community to provide secure communications,” he said.

Black vulture Bernardus is back in France!
Bernardus - the young black vulture female which already flew over large parts of Europe, and was wintering in Central Spain near Toledo, is back in France!
She started from Castilla-La Mancha on the 3rd April and flew within 4 days to the Massif Central in France. She already spent some time there last year. This time she rested for 2 weeks, probably fueling up because the journey then continued. She flew to the Alps and visited the regions Verdon, Ecrins, Vercors and Baronnies on the way. Currently she is heading westwards again and is approaching the Massif Central again.
During last year´s spring and summer she visited the Massif Central, but spent most of the time in the Alps. Where will she spend the summer this year?
Bernardus was born in the Pairi Daiza Zoo/Animal park, Cambron, Belgium, within the European captive breeding program (EEP) for the Eurasian black vulture, which tries try to breed the species in captivity to provide the chicks for reintroduction projects in the wild. Bernardus was transferred to Verdon (France) in the summer of 2015 and released there (see photo of her with her tag).
In November 2015 she started an amazing journey, taking her all across the Iberian peninsula. You can follow the story here:
After spending its first winter in southern Spain, Bernardus flew all the way around the Iberian peninsula and continued north to Frankfurt in Germany, and then back south to France. During last year´s spring and summer she visited the Massif Central, but spent most of the time in the Alps.
The VCF has been involved with the reintroduction of black vultures in France, mostly by facilitating the transfer of birds from Spain (wild origin, but coming via rehabilitation centres after they are picked up injured or exhausted), in collaboration with regional administrations in Spain and the French NGOs associated with the reintroduction sites. There are now at least 35 pairs of black vultures breeding in France, in three different nuclei, and soon this reintroduction project will wrap up.

Before we began our kitchen renovations, we knew we needed to install a sink in the mudroom because we would be kitchen-less for awhile (#thediylife). I had visions of a vintage sink and the mister found one for me! We found the sink on Craigslist and it was in pretty rough shape, so we painted it with a paint made for ceramic surfaces. It has held up fairly well, but since we used the sink pretty hard when we didn't have a kitchen sink, it does have small spots where the paint is coming off. It doesn't bother me though.
Isn't she pretty?? The faucet was an inexpensive one (less than $70!) from Amazon and has done a great job for us. The faucet mount is adjustable, which made it very easy to install since the sink came with holes for a faucet. Otherwise, we would have had to search for a faucet to fit perfectly into the holes. I highly recommend it!
The hanging wire basket is from Amazon as well, and the Fern Study wall hanging is from Volume 25.
It has been so helpful to have the sink in the mudroom. It is right by my studio, so I use it for cleaning painting brushes, and we use it for cleaning all kinds of dirty stuff that comes with living in the country.

The Miami Heat made surprisingly quick work of the Milwaukee Bucks. The Boston Celtics took care of business in more dramatic fashion against the Toronto Raptors. These teams will now battle in the Eastern Conference championship series. BetAnySports patrons will have an interesting choice for Game 1, which is slated for Tuesday at 6:30 PM ET at the ESPN Wide of Sports complex.
Miami has had a six-day break after defeating Milwaukee, which may have been a bit handicapped by an injury to Giannis Antetokounmpo, but were clearly outplayed. The Heat has really done the job on the defensive end; of the 16 teams who made it into the playoffs, they have the fourth-best defensive rating.
This has not been an accident, as they have made a lineup change with defense in mind. They took out seven-foot Meyers Leonard and inserted Jae Crowder (former Celtic). This made them quicker to get out and defend the three-pointer, and with Crowder, they have not been hurt on the offensive end; in fact, Crowder shot more three-pointers than anyone else in the series against Milwaukee, hitting 22 of 51 (43%).
Another lineup change that was made upon the team entering the bubble involved putting Goran Dragic back into the starting lineup as a point guard. He had actually been getting comfortable as the sixth man, but rookie Kendrick Nunn, who was late to the Orlando-area complex, had too much catching up to do, and coach Erik Spoelstra had to pull the trigger. Dragic has responded by averaging 21.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists in the playoffs. And the combination of him, Jimmy Butler and Bam Adebayo has posted a +59 plus-minus figure in just 188 minutes in the post-season, after registering that same figure in 475 minutes during the regular campaign.
In the NBA playoff betting odds posted at BetAnySports, the Celtics are favored in Game 1:
Boston Celtics -1.5
Miami Heat +1.5
Over 209.5 points -110
Under 209.5 points -110
The Celtics are also listed at -130 to win the series, with the Heat at +110.
Boston presents a challenge for the Heat’s defensive scheme, which relies more on man-on-man coverage than a zone, because there is so much scoring balance. including three players (Jayson Tatum, Kemba Walker, Jaylen Brown) who tallied more than 20 points per game. And like Miami, they don’t have one player who dominates the ball; no one, for instance, has a Usage rate higher than 28%.
But the Celtics did not shoot all that well against Toronto. Tatum, Brown, Walker and Marcus Smart were all under 43% in the series. Triples constituted 44.7% of their field goal attempts, and they were just 33.7% from beyond the arc. And let’s keep in mind that Miami has redesigned its defensive approach to jump around and switch, with multiple players able to guard multiple positions, making them, in the words of Adebayo, “more dynamic.” Unlike the Bucks, who let opponents shoot threes at will, the Heat has been very good at preventing attempts from downtown – fewer than any other playoff team.
One thing you can expect is for this to be largely a half-court series. The Heat was 27th in the “Pace” category, while Boston was 17th. But the Celts played to a Pace of 96.1 against Toronto, which had more fast-break points than anybody this season, so they wouldn’t mind at all being “deliberate.” That might play more into Miami’s hands; they were second best in the NBA in three-point percentage, and they had the highest ratio of free throw attempts to field goal attempts.
We don’t pay a lot of attention to the season series between these two. Boston won two of three, but in none of these was the complete cast of characters on hand, and in each of them, Miami was playing the second end of a back-to-back.
It may have seemed extremely unlikely at the start of all this, especially as the Heat was a sub-.500 road team. But they can get to the Finals. We like them in Game 1 and the series.

By The Canadian Press
ST-LAZARE, Man. — Canadian National Railway says it doesn’t yet know how much oil leaked from a derailment in western Manitoba, but it says trains are now running on the line again.
The railway said Saturday there was “a partial leak” of crude south of St. Lazare, Man., but it was contained and none had reached a nearby river.
When asked on Sunday about how much oil spilled, and how many of the 37 cars that derailed on Saturday leaked, a CN spokesman said it’s “still being assessed.
“Several of the cars were leaking but the product has been contained and has not entered the Assiniboine River,” Jonathan Abecassis said in an email.
Abecassis said CN’s environmental experts have begun the cleanup.
Transportation Safety Board spokesman Alex Fournier said investigators from the board spent Sunday at the site, but he didn’t have information about the quantity of the spill either.
He said he expected further information would be available on Monday.
Barry Lowes, reeve of the Rural Municipality of Ellice-Archie, Man., which surrounds St-Lazare, said Saturday that “quite a bit” of oil had spilled and there was a foul smell in the area.
CN said no one was injured in the derailment and there was no fire reported.
The Manitoba government said in an email Sunday that a number of provincial agencies were responding to the derailment, but that CN is leading the cleanup.
“While 37 cars have derailed, not all of them are leaking. There is no risk of contamination to the Assiniboine River,” the government email said.
CN said the derailment is still under investigation.

How to beat addiction
"Three beers and then all you can think about is getting drugs"
Dad, Sam Buchanan, is raising three children and helping to run a boxing club from his church. Sam counts himself lucky as he nearly lost everything as a result of his drug and alcohol addictions.
Sam started young, smoking weed as a teenager and his ambitions to turn professional as a boxer were ruined. Living in Glasgow, Sam had a challenging relationship with his own parents who struggled with their own mental health. Sam lost his Mum to a sudden, short illness and after her death turned to drugs.He became such a burden to his family as his behaviour grew increasingly out of control that they asked him to leave Scotland. Sam moved down to the South Coast of England where he met his current partner.
Watch the film to find out more about how Sam's church and a simple prayer have helped him to live without drugs and alcohol.
At Dad.info we know how hard living with any addiction can be and that there isn't one cure all that will work for everyone. We really enjoyed our time talking to Sam and listening to his story. If you are impacted by any of the issues raised in this film and need to seek help for yourself or a loved one then consider contacting your GP in the first instance.

Dental Future 2019 in numbers
participants, partners and collaborators
The event will address to:
- Dental technicians
- Owners of dental clinics or dental laboratories
- Managers of dental clinics
- Students in dentistry or dental technology
Why Dental Future?
- Participants will come into contact with top dental specialists and dental technicians from Romania and abroad
- Countless networking opportunites as well as specialised discussions on the topic
- Two days of theoretical information and practical sessions, the recent discoveries, and the latest trends in dentistry and dental technology
It is wonderful that the event brought together both dentists and dental technicians. It was an honour to share my knowledge and experience in minimally invasive implantology.
The second edition of Dental Future Conference was a very successful one, because both dental technicians and dentist, teacher and participants, in other words, the large family of dentists, had the opportunity to meet and interact.
First of all, I must thank you for this opportunity. I am for the second consecutive year in Romania at this conference.
From the very beginning, from the first edition, I have had relationships and friends with international speakers, with people who have provided valuable information during this conference. From this point of view, I am delighted with both speakers and the organization.
It was awesome. Very pleasant, and the audience was very well prepared and informed, so it was a pleasure to be here.
The event gives participants the chance to see and understand which is the next step in this field. I am glad that I was able to return to Iasi again this year.
It’s the first time for me. I participated from the perspective of the viewer, but now being a speaker, it was a fantastic experience.
It’s a more mature, more experienced edition. It is an event that connects the implantologist with the prosthetician and the technician, which no other educational event offers.
I was pleasantly impressed, a warm atmosphere. I saw young colleagues passionate about dental medicine, and this was made me feel outstanding being here.
Tema prezentării a fost cum să introduci în practica zilnică ortodonția previzibilă. Prin aceasta am încercat descrierea utilizării sistemelor transparente de aliniere în ortodonție, ca doctorii să obţină cunoştinţe şi să aplice acest tratament. Viitorul este unul impresionant și încep să se întrevadă schimbări.
I think it is an extraordinary event, not only for Iasi but for Romania, a prestigious international event.
It is remarkable that Dental Future has managed to gather all these people and that they were able to build. Everything started not from a large company, an international one, but from a single man, who tried to bring us together and succeeded. He did a remarkable thing.
First of all, we are glad that we had the opportunity to participate, to help this event to develop. We wish in the future to grow, to be an appreciated event, to be a repetitive one and to bring many doctors and relevant international speakers to Iasi.
It is a degree of absolute professionalism, which I would like to believe represents me in artistic matters. It’s perfect if you do something, make it 100% professional.
This event is significant for the Iasi market, especially for young people from Iasi, but also for the experienced doctors.

I sometimes got lost while clicking around menu products on the Teachable dashboard, but the drag and drop builder is relatively simple to utilize. The finest method of communicating with new and existing trainees is via e-mail. This is how I connected Teachable to my email provider, ConvertKit. I established a series of welcome e-mails for new trainees in ConvertKit. These emails sent without concern till I changed my course prices. Then, I had to reconfigure Zapier and Teachable based upon the new pricing plan. Once again, this works without problem, but I wasn’t able to set up a series of welcome emails.

When I first began offering on Teachable, I was puzzled by the sales process: Trainees first had to join my school prior to they could purchase a course. In some cases, students joined my school.
but didn’t complete the purchase of my course. However, prior to composing this Teachable evaluation, they simplified this sales procedure and now trainees can buy a course straight from my sales page – Military Discount Teachable.

Mumbai: Aware that 41-time champions Mumbai did not do well in the Ranji Trophy last season, reappointed coach Vinayak Samant has decided to focus on the longer format and rectify the past mistakes.
In Samant's first stint as the coach last season, Mumbai won the Vijay Hazare ODI tournament after several years, but failed to recreate the magic in the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tournament and Ranji Trophy.
"I'm only focusing on what mistakes we did (last season) and we have to rectify them. We have to focus more on the Ranji Trophy, (and at the same time) on ODIs and T20s," Samant told PTI on Wednesday.
"We did well in the ODI tournament and T20 tournament, but we were not able to do a good job in the Ranji Trophy (last season). So, my main focus (this time) is the Ranji Trophy," he explained.
Samant, 46, was given a second straight term after former Mumbai wicket-keeper Sulakshan Kulkarni refused to sign the contract offered to him.
"We have to nurture talent for Mumbai and if the process is right, the outcome will be good," Samant said.
Young prodigy Prithvi Shaw, who made his India debut last year, has been suspended for eight months by the BCCI for anti-doping violation.
After the suspension, Shaw would again be playing in the Samant-coached outfit if he is picked in the Mumbai squad for any of the tournaments.
Asked what advice he would give Shaw, Samant said, "I will keep it simple. You have to be very disciplined and if you are not disciplined, it will go haywire. I will tell him (Shaw) to be disciplined."
"He is a good boy and he understands that. I am hoping that he will change his approach towards the game and do well for Mumbai as well as the country," he further said.
"Mumbai has lot of talented players. In the past, we have won the Ranji Trophy (without star players) - there was no Sachin Tendulkar or Sanjay Manjrekar - but we did it. We want to make sure that we play positive and in crisis we have to be together," added Samant.

Rana alleges he was subjected to racist slurs and hooting from the home crowd when he played for Yorkshire in 2008 and 2009.
Cricket Australia tweeted that it was "deeply disappointed to see blatantly racist and uneducated comments".
A total of 62 positions are to be removed at the England and Wales Cricket Board, chief executive Tom Harrison said on Tuesday.

What is PTSD?
What are the symptoms?
Other common symptoms of PTSD can be things such as recurrent nightmares, having ‘flash backs’ of the ordeal, feeling irritable or having anger outbursts, having issues falling asleep and staying asleep, losing interest in activities that were once pleasant or pleasurable, being physically responsive such as sweating or having an increased heart rate at the thought or conversation around the traumatic event, having difficulties with positivity and feelings such as happiness or love.
Not everybody who experiences a traumatic event has PTSD, however when a person becomes immobilised with stress, overwhelmed at the thoughts surrounding the ordeal or finds themselves “stuck” in the same circle of negative thoughts over and over again even when the immediate danger has passed and they are unable to return to a pre-stress state of balance.
How can floatation tank therapy help with PTSD?
Floatation therapy offers a safe, alternative way to combat many issues naturally without having to depend on pills that may have side effects and could be potentially dangerous on your body in the long term.

Nowadays, it's not really that hard to offend someone. So much as a display of something vaguely resembling whatever inanimate object you rally against is enough to prompt phone calls to the ACLU about how appalled you are.
Of course, as we gun guys can attest, firearms seem to take a lot of heat and prompt some pretty outrageous responses from those who think they know better.
Kid draws a picture of her father fighting monsters with a gun? Arrest the dad! Student bites his Pop-Tart so it looks like a gun? Suspend that little punk! That'll teach him!
Sadly, it should come as no surprise that something with guns actually printed on is frowned on as "insensitive" and "low-taste." At least, those are some of the words being used against Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova, who on Friday paraded around New York City in a dress covered in various handguns and rifles.
As is common with anything in this kindergarten country of ours, more than a few people had a problem with this.
The Hollywood-obsessed bloggers over at TMZ, for example, said Kurkova was "seemingly oblivious to the fact police had a deadly gun battle last night with the Boston Marathon bombing suspects" Thursday.
Maybe if TMZ actually did their homework, they'd know the dress has nothing to do with last week's events in Boston, nor does it have anything to do with the attempts to ban "assault weapons" in Congress.
"It was against war and not anything to do with the personal use of guns," Israeli-born designer Nili Lotan told the Daily News, saying it was actually a reference to the conflict between Lebanon and Israel.
Still, Lotan said she would be hesitant to use the same fabric again, given the tragic events in Boston and Newtown, Conn.
"Would I ever do (a gun print) again? I'm not so sure, because today it would provoke the wrong impression," Lotan said, adding if she did use a gun print in the future, it would have "a very strong statement against allowing guns."
Talk about ironic. Anti-gun fashionista makes anti-war dress, criticized for being insensitive because, oh dear, there are guns on it!
We at G&A won't pretend to be fashion experts — by and large, our online staff's wardrobes consist of flannel, tactical shirts and a few sports jerseys. This kind of nonsense is exactly why we stay far away from the world of fashion; it's all confusion, self-righteousness and hypocrisy.
We'll stick with our non-designer jeans and button-ups, thank you very much.

Gov. David Ige said Monday he hopes his decision to end on June 16 the 14-day mandatory quarantine currently in effect for interisland travelers will help restart the kamaaina tourism economy.
“We certainly are working with the entire hospitality industry,” Ige said during an afternoon media conference at the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu. “… We are working with hotels. We have been talking with the airlines, the entire visitor industry, to see if we can focus on encouraging members in our community to travel interisland and enjoy what we often take for granted.
“You know, many of us don’t take in the attractions that all of the visitors from around the world come to the islands to experience.”
Ige also encouraged those who have missed family and friends on other islands to reconnect once the interisland quarantine, which was put in place to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus, is lifted.
The state Department of Transportation will require thermal screening at the airport for interisland passengers. It will also require travelers to fill out a new form that will ask for health-related information to assist the state in tracking and responding to new COVID-19 cases.
Those who have a temperature above 100.4 degrees or refuse to complete the mandatory form may be prohibited from flying.
The 14-day quarantine for arriving visitors from outside Hawaii remains in effect until at least June 30.
The quarantine has slowed to a trickle the arrival of passengers from out of state. About a year ago, about 30,000 air passengers arrived in Hawaii daily. On Saturday, there were 1,469 out-of-state arrivals, including 391 visitors.
Ige said an announcement about mainland and international travel will be coming next week. He previously indicated, however, he will extend the 14-day quarantine for out-of-state arrivals beyond June 30.
“We are driving toward having a target date where we can invite more of our guests (to join) us here in the islands,” he said. “But we want to be mindful of the notion that other communities have reopened their economies too quickly and have seen second spikes and increasing outbreaks.”
Ige noted that many of the state’s largest visitor markets, such as California, “still have large numbers of cases that are a cause for concern.”
For out-state travel, Ige said Hawaii is focused on opening up to areas that have similarly low numbers of the coronavirus and similar levels of screening and contact tracing.
As of Monday, the state has had 652 reported cases of COVID-19. No new case was reported Monday.
Peter Ingram, president and CEO of Hawaiian Airlines, said he wants “to make sure we welcome you back” and wants travelers to be “comfortable getting on an airplane (and) comfortable traveling with confidence.”
Ingram said the airline has new cleaning and boarding procedures to prevent the spread of the virus. It is also limiting the number of passengers on each plane so people don’t sit so close to each other.
All passengers and Hawaiian Airlines employees are required to wear masks, he said.
Ingram said the airline is operating five round trips a day between Honolulu and four neighbor island airports — Hilo, Kona, Maui and Kauai — a total of 40 flights daily.
“Those flights that are serving the needs of essential travelers have a lot of seats available on them already,” Ingram said. “On a typical day, we’ll run with an average of 20% to 30% load factor. So some of the additional demand can be accommodated … already.”
Ingram said Hawaiian operated an average of 180 interisland flights daily prior to the pandemic.
“I don’t think we’ll get up near that very soon, because there’s some demand that’s just not going to be there. The connections off our long-haul flights are not going to be there in the numbers right now,” he said. “And there’s still going to be some anxiety for people around traveling. And, certainly, people’s pocketbooks are hurting a little bit.
“So we’re going to start filling up the seats we have, expand as we need to — and rest assured, we’ve got the aircraft (and) we’ve got the crews ready to scale up and meet the demand that’s out there.”
Ingram said Hawaiian “can’t afford to go without 90% of our revenue for a long time and maintain the same cost structure.”
Hawaiian received a share of a $50 billion federal bailout under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act — half in loans and the other half for payroll support.
Ingram said the money “came with some very important requirements through Sept. 30 of this year — that we would keep our employment levels intact, and we wouldn’t involuntarily release anyone from our payrolls.”
The airline CEO said he’s hoping once quarantines are lifted, demand for air travel increases and the company won’t need to resort to the employee layoffs currently plaguing the rest of Hawaii’s visitor industry.
“It really will depend, ultimately, how much demand for travel there is,” Ingram said. “And that’s something that has been obscured to us over the last little while because, with the quarantine, we don’t see any demand.
“We think as the quarantines begin to lift, we will see some demand. And then, we’ll have to make sure that our business is appropriately sized for the demand that we’re ultimately serving.”

Suspecting that you have mold, but not knowing for sure, is perhaps the most difficult and disconcerting situation to be in. What is even worse, however, is not finding credible information when you try to find out.
Mold has a specific meaning, but the word “mold” used here is in quotes because the common usage has come to mean whatever someone wants it to mean. Any symptoms from indoors is often touted as proof of a “mold” problem.
Here are key criteria for the presence of mold:
- Have there been any leaks, flooding, or condensation in the house?
- Are there any unexplained damp spots on walls or ceilings?
- Are there water stains on walls or ceilings, even if there are no damp spots?
- Are there discolorations that partially or completely wipe off the surface?
- Are there musty or other ‘off’ odors?
If you answer none of the above, then it’s unlikely you have a mold “problem.” If one or more are present then further investigation may be advisable.
It is as important to know if you don’t have “mold” as it is to know if you do. Otherwise, you are likely to waste valuable time and money that is either not necessary or the effort is on the wrong problem. The first step in how to explore is learning basic information about what mold is, where to look, and how to know if it is a problem.
What Mold Is
Mold is an entire group of over a million similar tiny living organisms that are too small to see with the unaided eye. However, their spores can germinate and grow into a “plant” (called a colony). A colony can be so small that it can’t be seen without a microscope, or as large as several square feet. Germination and growth of mold requires sufficient dampness for 2-3 days for many, or as long as 3-4 weeks for some molds. When the germinated seeds (spores) grow and later reproduce they generate more small “seeds” called spores. Spores are even smaller than a colony and cannot be seen without a strong magnifying glass or a microscope.
Growing mold also has an odor, usually described as “musty,” although other descriptions are possible. That odor may smell like other substances because some of the chemicals that growing mold generates are identical to other chemicals found in building materials, plastics, and some cleaning products.
Where Will I Find Mold Growth
Mold growth – rather than just the spores – will be found in locations that are currently wet or have been wet in the past. Mold spores, on the other hand, can be found everywhere all the time because they are typically airborne – which means they will migrate wherever the air goes. But the spores will not – and cannot – germinate and grow without sufficient dampness.
Is Mold a Problem?
Spores are typically not a problem unless an individual is already reactive to “mold.” People who are chronically ill after long-term exposure to high levels of mold are often extremely reactive even to very low amounts of growth and of spores. Most people, however, can tolerate “moderate” levels of mold without ill effect. The best way to initially evaluate is to monitor your reactions (or lack thereof) when you are in close proximity to the damp spots or the surface discoloration. If your symptoms increase when close to it, and decrease when you move away from it, then “something” is affecting you. It may be from “mold” but it could also be from something else, or a combination of mold and other exposure substances.
If you know or suspect you have mold, further exploration is strongly recommended:
- To determine if there is sufficient reason to take Action.
- Take action to determine what that ‘something’ is.
- To determine the appropriate Action to achieve a remedy.
Beyond The Basics
The Wrong First Step
Testing is the wrong first step in determining if you have a ‘mold problem’. There are many reasons why this is true, but the primary reason is that all but one of the 16+ different tests for mold only detect spores. While spores are always present everywhere in the air, both indoors and outdoors, mold growth – which is what we want to locate – does not always produce spores. If there is sufficient moisture and food the mold “plant” will continue to spread and grow like a vine rather than stopping to reproduce with spores. This means a test that can only detect spores cannot reliably be accurate. Also, the single lab method for detecting more than spores, such as spore fragments and mold “body parts,” is strictly limited to just 36 mold species out of more than a million different species. Again, who knows if its accurate!
Also, the results of a mold test do not determine two critical things:
- If action is needed
- How to remove the mold
The Correct First Step
Explore your house for visible wet areas, damp spots, leaks, condensation plus signs where that dampness may have already dried, like water stains, damage, or discoloration. A simple moisture meter (about $30; available at hardware stores or online) can then help determine if the spot is still damp or if it has dried. When a damp spot with mold growth dries out, the mold doesn’t go away. It’s still present. And, by the way, mold presence is not the same as mold exposure. Presence doesn’t cause problems. Only exposure can.
Mold Exposure (not presence) is the Problem
Mold is a problem only when a person is exposed to any of the many parts and pieces of “mold” – not just the spores. Exposure means the person and the “mold” are in physical contact with each other by either inhaling it, ingesting it, or touching it. The second part of exposure is how long the contact continues. Breathing spores, fragments, or odors for a couple of breathes is unlikely to trigger a response in all but the most reactive individuals. But living or working large amounts of almost any mold for months or years has the potential to sensitize most people. Once sensitized, then extremely tiny amounts for very short times can be sufficient exposure to trigger severe reactions in sensitized individuals.
Mold is Rarely the Only Exposure Problem
The sufficient moisture necessary for spores to germinate and the mold “plant” to grow is also sufficient for bacteria to grow. Staying damp long enough can lead to infestations of insects and rodents. Water damaged materials will also release chemicals, many of which are Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), some of which are indistinguishable from the VOCs of building materials, new paint and carpet, plastics, and even some cleaning products.
People are different
Because no two people are identical, and will not react to the same substance at the same time in the same way, the answer to when mold becomes a problem will be different for every single individual in the world. Unlike strep throat or poison ivy which are specifically defined and trigger consistent symptoms, “mold” is only generally defined and triggers large clusters of symptoms – many of which overlap with other conditions.
There are two ways to determine if “mold” exposure is a problem.
Exposure is not the only requirement for reactions. The person must also be susceptible. For example, if a person is exposed to “mold” but not susceptible, there will be no reaction. Likewise, if an extremely susceptible person is not expose to “mold”, there will be no reaction. In other words, no matter how complex the situation, if either the exposure or the susceptibility are missing, there can be no reaction. Two ways to stop the exposure to determine if “mold” is a problem: Remove the exposure source or remove yourself from the source.
If you decided that you need to take action, and you determined that “mold” exposure is the culprit, then the next challenge is how to remediate mold growth. Start by downloading the Moisture Action Plan.

“Where is your Joseph’s coat?”
Like an expression of who He is, Father’s love awakened me to His ‘new every morning’ - as light broke through the darkness upon the horizon.
I laid still, not allowing any thought or feeling to disturb the quietness of my empty, as God’s Presence filled the capacity of my vessel with His beauty. His desire of me came seeping into every low place, like fog resting down on the forest floor…strengthening my heart in the valley of vision. And there, like a gentle breeze blowing through the trees, Father’s love whispered, “Where is your Joseph’s coat?”
A little perplexed by His words, I stayed still…assured He would bring me to His desired understanding. Then, He filled my spirit view with vision.
I saw a garment on the ground, beneath stones and rubble of a fallen structure… What once appeared to be a beautiful robe, was now covered in dust - torn, and frayed beyond repair. As I looked at the faded colors, I felt sadness and loss… Yet, knowing nothing is beyond His repair, I waited…
And with great pleasure and delight, Father breathed His breath of life!
“Your Joseph’s coat was an earthly reminder of all I have declared of your life…all I have predestined and promised you. It has been a confirmation and an encouragement to keep your faith filled with hopeful expectation of My completed work. However, this garment was only for a season. Your delight in this coat of many colors needed to be crushed so I could clothe you in a new mantle of My righteousness.
When you look upon the garment beneath the rubble, do not be discouraged or loose heart. My promises have not gone anywhere. Do not sit in the rubble, mourning the loss of your Joseph’s coat, but look up to Me. Fix your eyes on My passionate intentions for you. And do not spend your self on retrieving the old garment, trying to fix it, or continue to wear it. When I said, “Where is your Joseph’s coat?” I Am compelling your spirit to new heights of believing…causing you to leave the dust of past and soar with me to new places I have prepared for you. You can not arrive to these places on your own. I must dismantle the old, to rightly fit you for My new. Remember, My word is secure in the midst of this exchange. My word will not be shaken. It is eternal.
When your earthly circumstances seems like rubble around you, I Am there - captivated by what I have spoken of you…for My pleasure.
When all you see is an impassable mountain in front of you, I see you like a city set on a hill…and that mountain is perfect.
When you feel the ashes of death cover you like a blanket, I Am springing forth the green shoot of resurrection life in you - beneath it…
When your journey brings you to a valley of dry bones, I Am moving through it - right beside you - as if it were a field of lilies…
Oh my beautiful love, I Am consumed with My word!
I established My word of you - before the foundations of the earth were laid…each day, written in My book before one of them came to be! My word over your life can not be voided by the enemy or return to me void! I will complete my restoration of you and have you for Myself.
Trust Me in the dismantling… even rest down on Me in the rubble…
I am rightly fitting you for a new mantle.”

Ogun State police have arrested a certain Oluwabunmi Metofik, (Pictured belo), for allegedly beating her 7-year-old stepson, Femi, to death, all because he ate her food without seeking permission from her first.
According to Punch, Oluwabunmi is married to Femi’s dad who is a pastor in Oyo state.
On the day of the incident, Oluwabunmi beat Femi and inflicted serious injuries on him that forced the lad to slip into a coma. He was rushed to a private hospital in their area and he was rejected.
She was asked to take him to the Olabisi Onabanjo University Teaching Hospital, where he was confirmed dead.
A member of the community who saw the injuries she inflicted on the unconcious boy suspected foul play and alerted the vigilante group in the neighbourhood. The group went in search of the woman and they found her, arrested her and handed her over to the police. After much interrogation, she confessed to inflicting the injuries on Femi that led to his death.
“She said she bought food and kept it at home while she went to fetch water. According to her, by the time she returned, the boy had eaten part of the food. She said she beat him up the way she would do to her children. She admitted that he sustained the injuries on his head while he was beating him. Her neighbours testified that she usually beat the boy. Her eldest child also said she used a stick and knife to torture Femi. We took her and her husband to the palace and later handed them over to the police. The husband is a pastor in Ibadan. He said his wife told him on the telephone on Monday that Femi was sick and had been admitted to OOUTH. He said by the time he got to the hospital, the boy had died and they decided to bury him at Ayepe Cemetery. We asked for the receipt the cemetery gave them for the burial, they said they did not collect it. The man said he and the boy’s mother had separated. He told the police that the boy died naturally and that the suspect should be released because she is pregnant.” Toyin Oladoyin, an elder in the community said
Confirming the incident, the spokesperson of the Ogun State police command, ASP Abimbola Oyeyemi, said
“The case was reported to the police. The father of the deceased boy said his wife was not responsible for his death and that she should be released. He admitted that his wife beat him for an offence. He said the child was sick and that the death was a coincidence. He said the beating did not lead to the death. The mother of the deceased boy is in Oyo State. We are waiting for her arrival. If the mother says the woman killed the boy, it is another thing entirely.”

Starting a new job is an exciting time, from meeting new coworkers, getting acclimated on a team, and learning the way around a new building. New employees have a lot to learn to hit the ground running, including becoming familiar with a company’s culture. Some employees are now going through the onboarding process in a remote-work environment, without sitting face-to-face with their new manager or other teammates. But onboarding is even more important in uncertain times as it provides much-needed structure and guidance when everything else might seem shaky and unsure.
One of the first things to fall by the wayside, as the COVID-19 pandemic started to hit North America, was the handshake, followed by in-person meetings and close conversations. For salespeople, those had been two staples of building relationships with clients and possible customers. Then people were sent home from their offices and told to work remotely for an unknown length of time. That meant no friendly competition among teammates trying to get the biggest sales or land the biggest client, equal parts morale booster and healthy motivation. How is a salesperson supposed to continue to be effective on the same level with all these limitations?
Unemployment numbers are higher than they’ve been in decades as the international economy tries to stabilize during the COVID-19 pandemic. Layoffs happen to the best workers, people in all stages of their career, and usually come without warning. If you lost your job due to COVID-19, first and foremost, know you’re not alone! The economy is starting to restart, slowly but surely, and there will come a time when you’re back to work. Things might seem tough right now, but it will get better. Here are some tips for how to bounce back after a layoff.
When faced with an employee who is under-performing on some tasks while shining in others, managers have a tough decision to make. Is it time to let that person go? There’s another choice: Consider offering new training.
For every piece of advice on what to put on a resume, there’s a suggestion of what to leave off. It can be maddening trying to sort it out! When you’ve spent so much time and put so much thought and effort into a document that sums up your career, your achievements, and upon which hinges your hopes of a future position, it’s worth taking the time to weigh each addition and subtraction with care.
If someone asked an executive about their company culture 25 years ago, the response might be a blank look, an irritated eye roll, or an angry answer about the importance of work ethic over “touchy-feely” concerns. But now, people want the company they work for to take care of them, to pay attention to their needs as people and to offer incentives and perks beyond just paychecks and health insurance. The better a company’s culture, the more appealing it will be to the most talented and sought-after job candidates.
Maybe the last time you looked for a job, you weren’t interested in finding something long-term. For whatever reason, a temporary job was just the ticket: Something that would last for a few months, would bring in some money and can help pad your resume until you figure out what you’d really like to do. But now, several months later, you like your coworkers, you enjoy the office environment and, maybe most surprisingly, you really like the work you’re doing. You start to wonder: Is it possible to make this temporary job permanent?
If you’re among the countless people who are new to working at home or are currently working remotely on a more long-term basis than before, it’s ok to feel a little untethered. It’s a big change! Especially right now, as we were told to stay home without much warning or preparation. The good news is, there are lots of people who have worked remotely for a number of years and have grown to love it. There are plenty of ways to make it work, so you’re just as productive and efficient from your home office (or dining room table or couch) as you would be at your desk in the office. Here’s how to make your working from home days successful and productive ones:
Who doesn’t love summertime? Nice weather, picnics and patios, long days and beautiful sunsets and so many fun things to do with friends after the workday ends. But that’s the issue faced by many managers: How do you keep your focus sharply fixed on the task at hand and not lose track of projects at work when there are so many fun distractions to consider? Here are some tips on how to keep your productivity in place during those lovely summer months:
Let’s be honest: We all need a little help getting motivated some days. Whether due to a lack of sleep, too many projects at once, a lack of passion about a task, or just feeling a little blah, it can be challenging to meet the day with vigor all the time. When you’re feeling a little low energy, here are some podcasts that can help regain the pep in your step and give you new energy to stay focused and motivated to complete the work at hand.

The Drug Enforcement Agency’s (DEA) delays in approving applications to grow marijuana for research purposes are having a detrimental impact on people’s health and job prospects, according to a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers.
“It is imperative that lawmakers have scientific evidence about potential medical uses, side effects and societal impacts of cannabis to guide policy decisions,” the letter, signed by eleven House members, reads. “The only way that can occur is if our academic and clinical researchers are permitted to conduct well-controlled, scientific studies on these materials. To do so, they must have access to federally compliant cannabis and its chemical constituents in sufficient quantity and quality.”
For more than four years, the DEA has assured scientists who wish to undertake research on cannabis that it will start processing applications for additional federally-authorized grow sites. Currently, there is only one at the University of Mississippi which does not have the capacity to meet demand. What’s more, this facility is renowned for producing poor quality cannabis that bears little resemblance to cannabis bought on either the legal or illicit market, thus making it unsuitable for research.
Last year, a group of scientists sued the DEA for its inaction, but the case was dismissed when the agency explained that it was in the process of drawing up new rules governing marijuana production and distribution for research purposes. Internal memos between the DEA and the Department of Justice (DoJ) revealed these rule changes were thought to be necessary to ensure the US meets its obligations under international drug treaty conventions. The DEA sought public input on its proposed rule changes but received very few comments. Now, three months on from the deadline for public input, the DEA has neither finalized these rule changes nor granted any new grow licenses.
In response to these seemingly endless delays, the bipartisan coalition of lawmakers said the DEA is not only undermining valuable scientific research but is also inhibiting job growth and endangering American consumers who continue to use products that haven’t been rigorously tested.
“Delays in approving grower applications for the manufacturing of research-grade marijuana have had potentially detrimental effects on Americans’ health as untested products are being widely used for numerous medical conditions without safety or efficacy data to support these uses. It has also cost American jobs as other countries around the world such as Israel, the United Kingdom and Canada, have taken the lead in cannabis research, reaping the benefits of patents and products derived from this research. Meanwhile, American researchers have resorted to importing cannabis from overseas.”
The signatories to the letter are: Buddy Carter (R-GA), Lou Correa (D-CA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Morgan Griffith (R-VA), Brett Guthrie (R-KY), Andy Harris (R-MD), Barbara Lee (D-CA), Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), Lisa Blunt Rochester (D-DE) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA)
Last year, two federal agencies penned a joint letter to say researchers should be allowed to use cannabis from state-legal dispensaries in their studies. Several months later, another bipartisan group of lawmakers wrote to the DoJ urging it to allow scientists to access marijuana from state-legal dispensaries for research purposes, but for now doing so remains prohibited by federal law.

When an economy worsens, and organizations are unable to meet their expenses or become less productive, most of them result in laying off their staff to make profits and remain competitive against rival organizations in the industry. This process is what is referred to as downsizing. While these events are detrimental to the employees who are retrenched, it’s advantageous to the business, since the organization will be able to recover and remain competitive.
Here are some of the advantages of downsizing to an organization.
1) Reduced costs
Downsizing reduces expenses. The costs are usually reduced due to the reduced payrolls as a result of the employees who have been laid off and the overall reduction of the staff overheads. Other than laying off employees, some organizations lay off some managers to reduce the layers of hierarchy in the firm. This way, the organization can save on salary expenses which can eventually be used to improve the operations and productivity of the company at the given moment.
In other cases, the downsizing involves shutting down other locations that do not bring in substantial revenue to the organization. In this case, the assets in this area are often sold off to reduce operations and maintenance costs.
Downsizing also gives the management an opportunity to evaluate areas that are more productive and therefore focus more on these sectors while cutting on down in the less productive areas. If the organization has been preceding its core values and mission, downsizing gives it an opportunity of re-evaluating its priorities.
2) Responsiveness and improved employee motivation
A change in the culture of employees in a positive manner is among the significant advantages of downsizing organizations experience. Although workers often lose morale during the restructuring period as no one is sure to retain their job, if the organization renews its focus on the employees, this leads to increased satisfaction and appreciation leading to increased loyalty and team work towards gaining the organization’s goals and realizing its objectives.
As time passes, the employees gain a new appreciation for having a job in a business that laid off some employees and thus increasing teamwork, motivation and eventually productivity among the employees who remain.
3) Movement of authority and power
In a flat hierarchy, layers of management are often removed to stay with only a few management experts who can cost-effectively handle the business operations.
With the loss of most managers during the downsizing period, an organization’s management can access the skills and competencies of the remaining employees. By accessing the productivity of each worker, the organization can determine the different abilities of employees and thus promote those found to be more productive to senior positions within the firm.
This practice improves organizational performance as authority and power is now where the real action is, with frontline employees.
4) Improved communication
Another benefit of a flat hierarchy in an organization chart is an increase in coordination and improved communications. Since there are fewer departments and a short hierarchy, information is better relayed. The fact that the managerial offices are close to each other allows for more efficiency in communicating messages.
Often, an extended hierarchy doesn’t always perform well when it comes to relaying and receiving communications. This is because the long line of departments creates more room for mistakes during communication and something will always get lost in translation. If there are fewer departments in an organization, messages will more efficiently be passed on and the information passed will also be more accurate, so to speak.
The benefit of effective communication is that it will eliminate any delays in decision making by managers and the executive. This eventually allows policies to be implemented faster as mentioned earlier allowing for the organization’s operations to run smoothly.
5) Better decision making
Less bureaucracy and easier decision making are also one among the advantages of downsizing in an organization.
With fewer hoops in decision-making processes, a flat hierarchy is left with fewer people that need to be consulted about a decision, allowing the organization’s management to provide immediate responses to issues raised by employees or concerns about the organization.
Generally, a flat hierarchy creates a direct link in communication from the executive offices, managerial offices, and the employees.
6) Better utilization of technology
When operations cost rise and profits decrease, organizations are always forced to take measures that will benefit the organization even if it means hurting some employees in the process. One such measure is often to downsize. Well, this article has talked much about this but just to emphasize on it, downsizing should not always be seen as a selfish move especially by employees, but rather a move to save the business so that it can continue to provide employment opportunities to more people in future.The advantages of downsizing are that it allows companies to cut costs and improve efficiency, contributing to a “leaner and meaner” organization.
Now back to the main point, during downsizing, most organizations tend to fall on the use of technology to better manage their operations and pass communications. This move improves productivity as well reduces costs. Moreover, it keeps organizations up to date with emerging trends in the industry.
Like many other things, downsizing and a flat hierarchy have its pros and cons. As management, you have to factor in all possibilities including the advantages of downsizing and it disadvantages before deciding on a direction to take. You need to realize that some activities within your organizations’ value chain are more critical for a successful strategy than others.
There are two things to remember when downsizing, first, you need to design an organizational structure around those critical activities in the value chain. The second consideration is to design the structure so that it helps coordinate and integrate the support activities to maximize the support of strategy-critical primary activities in the organization’s value chain and does so in a way to minimize the cost for support activities.
Nevertheless, you should clarify your visions for the organization. If you do this, flattening your hierarchy may well improve the efficiency and productivity of your organization.
