| ProfessionalWhy did you make this work:
I volunteered as part of the MIA3J (France), a new festival specially dedicated to female musical creation. I wanted to support this great initiative by participating and paying tribute to the guest singers : a commitment to women but also a love of singers that took the form a symbolic portraits inspired either of their lives or of their artistic universes.
How was the illustration used:
The illustration was used as embroidery applied to the singer's stage clothing but also as a printed illustration exhibited as part of the Festival. I made the printed portraits of 11 singers and made the embroideries for 3 of them.
How did you make this work:
It all started with making contact with the singers; then I created a sketch which took the form of an illustrated symbolic portrait. The whole was meticulously vectorized, then transformed into embroidery stitches for the mechanical production : it was a very meticulous work, because the portrait is made up of multiple parts to arrange. Then, I recomposed it on the artist's outfit for D-day.
Virgen, is an illustrator, designer and graphic design teacher.
After training in fashion design at the ESAA Duperré school in Paris, she developed an appetite for drawing, color and pattern.In April 2019, she launched her brand of embroidered accessories, marked with a very artistic imprint. She deploys her multi-ethnic, symbolic and a bit mystical universe on the embroidered material that she loves so much and to which she brings a very contemporary tone.
The themes she addresses vary, however, according to her meetings and collaborations, but her creations are always meaningful and have a story to tell.
Several major brands have called her for collaborations or orders, including Adidas and the Galeries Lafayette.She is also freelance illustrator and her graphic universe lending itself to multiple supports.

SoundCloud is an online platform for musician and audio enthusiasts for distributing audio files. SoundCloud serves as co-operation platform for the audiophiles.
What is SoundCloud and How it works
The major function of SoundCloud is to allow the musicians and audiophiles not only to download their music, but also can embed in a specific form of others, for example, one can embed music of SoundCloud on their own websites without hosting it on own server. In contrast, MySpace allows to listen only on the website itself. With widgets and apps for SoundCloud, it is very easy to make users to make a way to listen to the music on their website. New tracks can be automatically published via Twitter as well. SoundCloud has own API to integrate other programs on smart phones to upload and download the files from SoundCloud. The API has been integrated into several programs.
As there is maximum file size limit, with even the free basic package, it is possible to upload up to two hours of music on SoundCloud. Also, users can comment on tracks of other users.
Download Songs from SoundCloud
WordPress.com has default integration with SounCloud and for self hosted WordPress, there are many plugins available to embed music. SoundCloud Shortcode Plugin is quite popular among such plugin. There are specific various application for iPhone, iPad and Android.
Here is Traumerei by Robert Schumann which you can play right here.
Apart from listening to music, there are existing various applications including the official SoundCloud Desktop app brings the full SoundCloud web experience to your Mac. For PC, there is an application which an be downloaded from here – http://www.soundclouddownloader.com/index.htm ; which can download more than one track at a time from SoundCloud.

Kendal Town Council announces bumper investment into local parks and community centres
Written by John Williamson on 09/01/2019
Liberal Democrats on Kendal Town Council voted through plans to increase investment into parks and community centres across the town.
The investment includes £2,000 on improvements to Fletcher Park, £5,000 towards the Trim Trail at the Beck Community Centre, £7,000 on new play equipment at Hallgarth Play Area, and £5,000 towards a brand-new entrance at Nobles Rest from Library Road.
The money to pay for the work will be raised by a small 24p per month increase on council tax. This will also allow projects to go ahead that was cancelled due to the cost of conducting a parish poll on the future of New Road Common earlier this year.
Councillor Jon Owen, Chair of the Environment and Highways Committee on Kendal Town Council said: “Our local parks and community centres are a key part of the life and soul of Kendal.
“So, I’m absolutely delighted that we’ve been able to announce improvements to them through this new investment.
“Now that the money has been signed off by the Town Council, I’m looking forward to seeing the work getting started and the public soon being able to enjoy our parks even more.”

In his nine symphonies, Gustav Mahler created an entire world for himself and his listeners. More than any other composer, he tries in his symphonic oeuvre to get to the very depths of the circle of life – the eternal cycle of growth and decay. What set of complete works would be more appropriate, therefore, for bringing the qualities and the unique sound of one of today’s leading orchestras to their fullest expression? – In the 11-CD Mahler complete edition released by BR-KLASSIK, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks – under some of its most influential conductors, but above all its current chief conductor Mariss Jansons – tackles Gustav Mahler’s symphonic works.
The performances were recorded live between 1996 and 2016 in the Philharmonie im Gasteig and the Herkulessaal of the Munich Residenz, and most of them are recent. Yannick Nézet-Séguin conducts Mahler’s Symphony No. 1, Mariss Janson conducts Symphonies Nos 2, 5, 7 and 9, Bernard Haitink Nos. 3 and 4, Daniel Harding No. 6 and Colin Davis no. 8, the “Symphony of a Thousand”. Numerous soloists and choirs are also featured.
Since the era of its former chief conductor Rafael Kubelik, who founded the Symphonieorchester’s Mahler tradition during the early 1960s, these works, written on the threshold of the modern age, have been fixed items in the orchestra’s repertoire. – The recordings represent a challenging part of the recent repertoire of the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks; under the baton of Mariss Jansons, and other conductors of the late 20th and early 21st century especially associated with it, this renowned orchestra, with the musical and interpretive mastery for which it is justly famed, provides truly memorable performances. These days, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks is probably one of the leading ensembles for conveying the special sound of Mahler’s music.

Now that I'm somewhat recovered, a report of dinner on Saturday at Dosa (on Valencia and 21st in the Mission).
We arrived at around 7 on Saturday night, got on the list, and waited about 45 minutes to be seated. FYI--they don't take reservations for parties of fewer than 5, I think.
The wait was a good opportunity for a margarita at the nearby Latin American Club, which ended up being the best part of the evening.
We strolled back and were seated promptly. Having never tried South Indian fare, we asked the waiter for recommendations. He suggested the masala dosa, dahi vada (lentil dumplings in yogurt), and bathura. We also ordered pepper chicken. Boyfriend got a Kingfish lager; I asked for water.
The dahi vada arrived fairly quickly. It was not to my taste--the dumpling was too hard and dry, like a deep-fried hockey puck floating in a sea of yogurt. The masala dosa was good, a large, thin crepe filled with spiced potatoes and served with various dipping sauces. The pepper chicken was okay, but oily. The bathura, a deep-fried bread, was huge and extremely oily.
Service issues--my water, the only drink I ordered, arrived with the check. The waiter never stopped to check in after our food arrived; had there been any problems, we would have been out of luck. Two trays of food were dropped in the hour we were there. The diners to the right of our table, who sat down 5 minutes after we had arrived, had not been served by the time we departed. The diners to the left asked for their check two or three times.
And then there were the horrible, racking stomach pains that commenced right after leaving. Probably the grease.
The check was about $60. There's no way we would return, but some people must have had a great time. There was a line of about ten people when we arrived and it was packed to capacity the entire time we were there.

Fire Safety Procedures After Fire Emergency Diagram
As a business owner, your main concern is making your business flourish. One of the ways of ensuring this is keeping your staff up to date with an After Fire Emergency Diagram and the current business innovations as well provide training to further their skills. A properly trained staff is going to work more confidently and enable you to advance your business by offering the perfect goods and services to your clients.
Lots of business owners, when looking at giving the best training for their staff, are naturally centered on matters that actively further product knowledge and also the abilities to provide the quality of service their customers are used to.
What can be easily forgotten are actually the subjects which remain undetected until the time that is such as an urgent situation comes up. One of those is evacuation management planning and fire emergency training, especially when a new After Fire Emergency Diagram is installed.
Why Should Your Staff Be Trained?
We can all agree that dangers from fire are able to pose a major threat to your business. Fires do happen at the workplace, and a lot of people are actually hurt. Also, the monetary expenses of a fire could be rather damaging, and the yearly cost to companies through fire runs to several millions of dollars. It's due to this that businesses spend considerably on fire safety solutions in the fire protection systems and equipment in an attempt to minimize the effect on property and people.
But while having an effective and comprehensive fire management process in place is important, it's equally as vital to have a good response and developing and rehearsing emergency response procedures plus a qualified emergency response team. In the occasion of a fire, probably the highest goal is generally to get the occupants of the building out of harm. Trained staff members is going to provide the very best chance for this to take place in an efficient and methodical manner.
Fire safety training is a crucial step towards protecting your employees and by that your clients. As it gives staff members with the knowledge and abilities as well as the self-confidence to create the best decisions as well as act quickly must there be a fire at the workplace. It's fundamental to make certain that each staff is actually knowledgeable with the emergency procedures and can interpret the After Fire Emergency Diagram as it is able to considerably lower the effect of a crisis when individuals are trained to react appropriately.
To be prepared, business owners should develop an effective fire prevention plan in accordance with the Australian Standard, AS 3745 2010 Planning for Emergencies in Facilities. Emergency related training is a vital element of this fire prevention plan. Recent amendments to AS 3745 have made it mandatory that training is conducted for at least one member of the emergency planning committee, for the emergency control organisation and for the facility occupants. Furthermore, emergency control organisation members must attend skills retention training every six months.

awyers advise CPAs to have employment and noncompete agreements in their accounting practices. They recommend that all employees, including those who are shareholders, promise—in writing—not to take clients with them if they leave the firm. Such agreements can protect firms, the lawyers say. But what they might not say is that employment and noncompete agreements can create serious income tax consequences when a firm or corporation is liquidated and goodwill assets such as client relationships are distributed among the shareholders. There is the possibility of some relief, however: A CPA firm and its shareholders are in a better position to avoid serious tax consequences if such agreements are not in place when the professional corporation is dissolved.
The IRS asserts that distribution of “clients and customer-based intangibles” to shareholders is taxable, but the Tax Court has held that it isn’t if a noncompete agreement between the shareholder or employee and the firm does not exist. This apparent contradiction presents some questions to which there are no black-and-white answers. In the cases discussed in this article, the Tax Court did not distinguish between personal service corporations, such as CPA firms, and commercial organizations, such as an ice cream distribution company, in identifying the individual ownership of customer-based intangibles. In planning for a liquidation of their professional practice or advising clients about the liquidation of a commercial organization, CPAs will find that the problems and the solutions are likely to be the same.
TANGIBLE OR INTANGIBLE, YOU STILL MAY OWE TAXES
In a firm or corporate liquidation, or when a shareholder redeems his or her interest, it’s not uncommon for the business to distribute property as well as money in exchange for the capital stock a shareholder held.
When such a business distributes its property, it generally is deemed to have sold the property at fair market value, which requires it to recognize a gain (IRC section 336(a)). The shareholder, who treats the fair market value of the property as received in exchange for his or her stock, also recognizes a gain (IRC section 331(a)). The critical issue for tax planning is whether the assets distributed are considered property under IRC section 336 and whether the corporation owns them.
In a professional practice, tangible property such as office equipment, furniture and fixtures makes up a small portion of a firm’s total value. By far the largest element of value in a profitable professional practice is the intangible goodwill . There’s little doubt that distributions of the tangible property to shareholders in a liquidation are taxable under section 336. The corporation recognizes income on the excess of fair market value over adjusted basis. The shareholders recognize capital gains on the fair market value of the property received in excess of their basis in the stock.
But what about distributions of the business’s intangible property and goodwill? The Tax Court has held goodwill to be a vendible—and taxable—asset that can be sold with a professional practice (LaRue v . Commissioner, 37 TC 39, 44 (1961)).
According to the IRS, when a corporation distributes “clients and customer-based intangibles” to its shareholders, IRC sections 331 and 336 apply; such intangibles include the corporation’s client base, client records, workpapers and goodwill (including going-concern value). The IRS position is that these intangibles are the firm’s assets and the firm realizes taxable gain when it distributes them to shareholders. Further, according to the IRS, when the firm transfers such intangibles to shareholders, they also realize taxable gain.
NO AGREEMENT, NO TAXABLE EVENT?
There’s no doubt that a firm can distribute tangible property to its shareholders as a dividend, whether it liquidates or not. But a question arises when it distributes to its shareholders all its assets—both tangible and intangible—and ceases doing business: Is there a taxable distribution of its intangible goodwill? According to the IRS, the answer is yes. According to the Tax Court, on the other hand, the answer is that it depends. The question of who “owns” the client relationships and customer-based intangibles turns on whether an employment or noncompete agreement is in effect at the time of the distribution.
The Tax Court has held that in the absence of an effective employment or noncompete agreement at the time of liquidation distributing customer-based intangibles to the shareholders is not a taxable event to either the corporation or to the individuals ( Norwalk v . Commissioner, TC Memo, 1998-279). (See “In Real Life, Sometimes the Good Guys Win,” below.)
The Tax Court says that without an employment agreement or noncompete covenant, client goodwill attributable to a shareholder’s personal characteristics isn’t a property right belonging to, or transferable by, a firm.
For this reason, a business’s liquidation plan should include the step of examining all employment agreements with shareholder-employees to identify noncompete provisions. Where such agreements exist, the practitioner should recommend to clients or employees that the agreements be rescinded before the liquidation. Under current case law, if such agreements are not effective at the time of the distribution then there should be no taxable event.
WHO OWNS INTANGIBLE ASSETS?
The Tax Court has long recognized that personal relationships of a shareholder-employee are not corporate assets where the employee has no employment contract with the corporation. Those personal assets are distinct from the intangible corporate asset of goodwill. In Estate of Taracido v . Commissioner, 72 TC 1014, 1023 (1979), the court found the sole shareholder essential to the corporation’s success, but that the corporation’s goodwill did not include the personal qualities of its sole shareholder. In Cullen v . Commissioner, 14 TC 368, 372 (1950), the court held that the personal ability, personality and reputation of the sole active shareholder, in the absence of an employment agreement, were not corporate intangible assets. In MacDonald v . Commissioner, 3 TC 720, 727 (1944), the court found no authority to hold that an individual’s personal ability is part of the intangible assets of a corporation if it does not have a contractual or other right to his or her future services.
According to the Tax Court in Martin Ice Cream Co. v . Commissioner (110 TC 189 (1998)), it was Arnold, personally, and not Martin Ice Cream Co. or Arnold’s new company, that owned the distribution rights that were sold to Haagen-Dazs. The Tax Court said, “The benefits of the personal relationships developed by Arnold with the supermarket chains and Arnold’s oral agreement with the founder of Haagen-Dazs were not assets of Martin Ice Cream Co. that were transferred to Haagen-Dazs; Arnold was the owner and seller of those assets.”
Many employment agreements contain noncompete provisions and declare clients and customers to be a “property right” of the corporation. Although some say “Clients or customers belong to the employer and not the employee, and the employer shall be the sole arbiter of work assignments and work quality,” such provisions may not be binding in some states.
SO WHEN IS GOODWILL TRANSFER TAXABLE?
It isn’t clear from the Tax Court’s reasoning when a distribution of customer-based intangibles becomes a taxable event. Of course, the IRS interprets IRC sections 331 and 336 to include the distribution of intangible assets in all cases, but a sequence of Tax Court decisions does not provide a bright line for practitioners to follow in handling their firms’ sales or in advising a client.
Norwalk and Martin clearly suggest that without employment and noncompete agreements both the corporation and the shareholder avoid taxation, but it is unclear what the tax consequences would be if such agreements were in place (see “Wiggle at Your Peril, However…,” below).
Without a sales agreement that transfers rights to the employer, a question arises as to how a provision in an employment or noncompete agreement could convert clients or customers to a property right of the corporation—if the right legally belongs to the employee. According to the Tax Court, where the goodwill value is based on the relationships between clients and an individual, without an employment agreement such intangibles do not belong to the corporation.
Generally, to be enforceable, a noncompete covenant must reasonably reflect an employer’s protectable interest in both the nature and the scope of the restraint on the employee. Although trade secrets, special processes, patents and proprietary information are among an employer’s protectable interests, it isn’t clear how noncompete provisions create an employer property right to clients or customers if one did not previously exist.
According to the Tax Court, the corporations in Norwalk and Martin never owned the clients or customers and therefore could not transfer them in liquidation or otherwise. If the Tax Court is correct that the client relationships belonged to the individual accountants in Norwalk , how does any employment or noncompete agreement serve to transfer ownership from an individual to a corporation? It’s unclear. Further, it is doubtful that legal ownership of such an intangible property can effectively be transferred in any event, as clients can change their accountants or lawyers at any time.
REASON TO RESCIND NONCOMPETES
It appears neither the corporation nor the shareholder will realize gain on the distribution of customer-based intangible assets if no employment and/or noncompete agreement exists when liquidation takes place. If the intangible value of client and customer relationships belongs to the individual providing the personal relationship, then the corporation’s distributions of clients or customers and any contracts with these individuals are not taxable events.
The key to avoiding income tax for both the corporation and the individual shareholder centers on this aspect. Before owners liquidate any business or professional practice, it is critical that they rescind or void any employment or noncompete agreements. Clearly a practitioner should advise a client to dissolve noncompete agreements with shareholders before liquidation.
Terminating employment agreements benefits both the employee and the employer. So long as there’s a genuine business purpose in taking such action, the IRS will likely be unable to discredit the transaction as an action made solely for tax purposes. In a complete liquidation, for example, to prohibit competition against a defunct entity is irrelevant, and releasing the employee from such an agreement is a benefit that can be negotiated as part of the termination arrangement. In the redemption of a single shareholder’s interest, to terminate a noncompete agreement can benefit the employer by removing any employment obligation and obtaining a release from future lawsuits. These are bona fide business purposes that such a rescission may serve, irrespective of tax considerations.
GOOD PLANNING COVERS SEVERAL CONTINGENCIES
The law is unclear and making arguments in Tax Court can be expensive. What is clear is that the IRS has taken a hard line position on taxing all distributions from a firm or corporation to its shareholders. When intangible assets such as client, customer, and contractual relationships and similar intangible goodwill have been distributed, the IRS has been quick to assess tax on the value of such property rights. There’s little doubt the service will seek to tax any and all such distributions, whether a corporation is in liquidation or not.
Under present law, code sections 331 and 336 provide the IRS with ample authority to assess such tax at both the corporate and the individual shareholder levels.
Although the Tax Court dismissed the IRS assertions in the recent cases of Norwalk and Martin , no one knows how many assessments have gone unchallenged in court because of confusion about the law’s application.
The Tax Court may have carved out a somewhat safe harbor for the distribution of customer-based intangibles to shareholders. This safe harbor depends on the absence of any employment or noncompete agreement at the time of the distribution. However, the court may require such distributed intangibles to have a value related to the shareholder’s personal relationships with clients. It isn’t clear how the Tax Court would treat distributions of clients not served by a particular individual—for instance in situations where staff other than the shareholder developed all the personal relationships.
Although specific procedures cannot be set forth with black letter rules, a careful reading of the Tax Court decisions suggests that businesses need to carefully document a liquidation plan. Such documentation should state that any existing employment and noncompete agreements are being terminated for a separate and mutual consideration. It should specifically acknowledge that the customer-based intangibles being distributed are the property of the shareholders and the corporation was entitled to benefit from them only as long as it employed the shareholder.
The cases discussed in this article point to parallels between CPA firms and commercial organizations when identifying the individual ownership of customer-based intangibles. Where CPAs plan a liquidation of their professional practice or wish to advise clients about dissolving their businesses, the solution to problems surrounding the issue of goodwill ownership is likely to be quite similar—terminate employment and noncompete agreements prior to liquidation.

(Informed Comment) – The US-Iranian relations remain conflictual forty years after the revolution and with an uncertain future. The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s announcement that Poland will host an international conference on Iran in February has angered Iranian officials, prompting foreign minister Javad Zarif’s tweeting the upcoming summit as America’s anti-Iran “circus.” Secretary Pompeo on a tour of the Middle East pushed for the US-backed initiative to form what some have termed an “Arab NATO” to bring the region together in a military alliance to counter threats from Iran. The question remains: Is Iran really a threat to its neighbors or the United States? Why is Iran such a threat, given that the country is tackling with serious sociopolitical and economic issues internally and is facing a great degree of hostility from abroad? Perhaps, the source of an Iranian threat rests elsewhere?
The United States’ narrative of a hostile Iran is in line with the historical Western domination of the region that favors weak and dependent states, bounded by the parameters of a patron-client relationship that almost always prioritizes the interest of the former at the expense of the latter. As such, no ‘client’ state must challenge the patron’s hegemonic presence, interest, and control, even to the detriment of its own national interest. Among the central U.S. grievances are Iran’s pursuit of nuclear and missile technology, its ‘obstruction’ of the supposed Middle East ‘peace process,’ its intervention in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, its past involvement in the Beirut attacks of the 1980s and the 1996 Khobar Towers (Saudi Arabia) bombing of an American troop residence and providing lethal aid to non-state actors in Lebanon, Iraq, the Palestinian territories, and Afghanistan. The list of US complaints against Iran fails, however, to address the root cause of the Iranian state behavior: how Iran’s foreign policy doctrine and behavior is fundamentally defensive in nature, reflecting its lesser military capabilities and the state insecurity in the face of persistent external hostility and threats at regime change. Iran utilizes anti-Americanism and Islamic revolutionary rhetoric as ‘soft power’ to mobilize transnational popular support and militia groups in the neighboring countries, where U.S. and Israel are perceived as enemies and the source of instability and discord. The Islamic Republic, contrary to the Arab States, is challenging the historical patron-client parameters and is, thus, designated as a ‘regional threat.’ Iran has legitimate national and regional interests. The removal of serious external threats can leave wider room for diplomacy and rapprochement with the West and the United States.

Iran’s Military Power
The transformation of Iran into an apparently regional power is largely the consequence of Iran’s national progress and events that followed September 11, 2001, including the US expensive and unwise invasion of Iraq. Iran’s participation in regional affairs has been, except for Lebanon, defensive in nature. Its involvement in Lebanon dates to the early 1980s when ‘volunteers’ traveled to Lebanon to fight alongside the Shi’a fighters against their rivals. (Recall, Lebanon’s civil war (1976-1990) saw foreign intervention by many countries, including Israel, Syria, Iraq, the United States, France, the UN, and Iran.) The intercession was a controversial issue for Iranian decisionmakers since Ayatollah Montazeri, and not Khomeini, championed support for Lebanese Shi’a. Otherwise, Iran was fighting Iraqi forces at the time for its territorial integrity and regime survival; a war that the US and its allies and the entire Arab World, except for Libya and Syria, supported.
Iran’s ‘asymmetric warfare doctrine’ means that it principally focuses its military doctrine on defense, deterrence, and asymmetric warfare. Iran’s harsh rhetoric in foreign policy is not a reflection of its actual capabilities and intention for open aggression; it is a defensive posture stemming from serious external threats to its regime survival and national sovereignty. The list of US grievances of Iran’s behavior does not address this point. A recent study argues that “Iran’s military is beset with structural, organizational, and capacity problems that prevent it from completely operationalizing Tehran’s doctrinal ambitions for asymmetric warfare, and that these problems are likely to persist over the next five to ten years. The bifurcated nature of the Islamic Republic’s security structures continues to create institutional friction that stunts the development of a truly integrated force. Bureaucratic inertia and other features of Iran’s defense establishment will likely keep Iran’s military capability mired in industrial-age conventional warfare, even as Tehran aspires toward an asymmetric warfighting doctrine.” The study, however, also confirms that in the long run, Iran’s efforts to attain self-sufficiency in military equipment is bound to make it stronger and a major player in the regional affairs.

The Iranian ‘threat narrative’ only help legitimize the presence of US and Western military troops and arms sales to the region and consequently heightening regional tension. The United States has over 54,000 troops in more than a dozen Middle Eastern countries and is maintaining military bases in seven of them. According to the Pentagon’s quarterly reports on US military personnel, published in November 2018, the number of US soldiers and civilians working for the Department of Defense in the Middle East was 54,180, up from 40,517 during the first two quarters of 2017. Indeed, the number of US soldiers and civilian support staff deployed to Syria and the broader Middle East had surged by

Meanwhile, the United Kingdom has renewed its age-old colonial presence in the region, setting up a new military base in Kuwait and advancing its naval presence in Bahrain. Previously, on February 22, US Navy and Coast Guard units had joined Iraqi Navy and Kuwait Naval Force and Coast Guard vessels for a trilateral exercise(TRILAT) in the Persian Gulf that was the third of its kind since March 2017. Not to fall behind, France opened its naval base in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) in 2009 that also stations troops and planes at Al-Dhafra Air Base, home to some of the 5,000 American troops stationed in the country.
The US and European states are the main arms exporters to the region and supplied over 98% of weapons imported by Saudi Arabia in 2017.” Arms imports to the Middle East doubled between 2013 and 2017: The US, the UK, and France were the main supplier of arms to the region, with the UK exporting nearly half of its arms to Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia and the UAE are among the top 10 arms importers in the world. Iran, in contrast, only accounted for 1% of arms imports to the region. Its military expenditures remain minuscule compared to its ‘rival states,’ amounting to only $14.6 billion dollars in 2017 for a country of 84 million and neighboring 7 (14, including regional neighbors in the Persian Gulf) countries. There is a major power with a historical bellicose relation to Iran’s north, the Russian Federation, and a NATO-member competitor in the West, Turkey, and less friendly and even hostile Saudi Arabia and some of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) members. Others in the region also outpace Iran’s military expenditures per capita and in real numbers by far, including Saudi Arabia ($69.5 billion), Israel (16.5 billion), Turkey (18.2 billion), and Kuwait (6.8 billion). Overall, the Arab World spent close to $120 billion on military in 2017, augmented by support from major Western countries, including the United States with a military budget of nearly $610 billion in 2017.
Iran Under Threat or as a Threat?
The new ‘Islamic Republic’ soon after the revolution declared its ‘neither East nor West’ doctrine in foreign policy, but soon found itself with countless enemies and few friends on the world stage. The voice of support from some ‘revolutionary corners’ remained mostly symbolic and without much tangible support. The new leadership has regarded the United States and the West in general as hostile, still refusing to accept Iran’s legitimate stance as a pivotal state. The list of grievances is long: The US is viewed as hostile and interventionist with intention to topple the Iranian republic, indicated by its role in the 1953 coup d’état of the legal Iranian government, vehement rejection of the Islamic Revolution, disregard for Saddam Hussein’s use of chemical weapons during the Iran-Iraq War, the shooting down of an Iranian passenger plane, imposing economic sanctions, freezing of Iranian financial assets, resistance to Iranian nuclear progress for clean energy, and threats to invade or attack Iran.
The September 1980 Iraqi invasion challenged Iran’s declared policy of independence and ‘self-reliance.’ The overwhelming material cost and the psychological impact of the Iraqi invasion lasted well into the following decades. The Iraqi invasion occurred when the Mujahidin-e Khalq’s violent acts of terrorism and insurgency had already shaken the foundation of the new state. The Iraqi military use of chemical weapons and Western countries’ silence, the bombardment of major Iranian cities and its oil terminals, the Western arms embargo, and the Arab countries’ vast financial support of Iraqi invasion verified external hostility. The mass flow of war refugees and internal migration into major cities, including Iraqi and Afghani refugees (after the 1979 Soviet invasion) and the material cost of war meant the devaluation of the national currency, the rial, and runaway inflation. Further, the United States’ sanctions have meant the denial of the Iranian economy and society from access to Western technology and investment, including spare parts to its airlines and access to medical equipment. Incidentally, Iran’s pursuit of missile and nuclear technology began in the early to mid-1980s.
The spread of Wahhabism and militants in Afghanistan and Pakistan since the 1980s posed, and continuing, another serious threat to Iran’s national sovereignty. Iran shares a long border with Afghanistan and is vulnerable to the presence of ‘hostile’ US and NATO troops so close to its border. It has also lost thousands of its border guards and soldiers in countering narcotrafficking, terrorism, human trafficking, and smuggling. The U.S. invasion of Afghanistan led to some limited cooperation, but mutual complaints remained throughout the years. Today, Iran’s participation through dialogue and economic cooperation with the Afghan government or the Taliban or in support of the minority Shi’a Hazara is indispensable to the cause of its own security but also that of Afghanistan’s and regional stability. Undoubtedly, Iran’s involvement in Afghanistan and Iraq would have remained limited, without the US invasion of these countries in 2001 and 2003.
Iraqi nationalists have raised serious concerns about Iran’s involvement there, but Iran’s relation with Iraq is as ‘natural’ as is the US relation with Canada. It involves shared mutual security, religious, economic and commercial interests. Many of the Iraqi opposition personalities and groups have deep connections with the Iranian ruling elites and religious establishments, with the Iranian-born Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani as the most senior Iraqi religious leader. Despite differences in approach and tactics, religious seminaries in Qom and Najaf mobilize vast popular support for their common cause of ‘Islamic unity’ in Iran and Iraq beyond differences in political setup and the Sunni-Shi’a divide. The Iranian mobilization of troops and involvement in Iraq after the Daesh capture of Mosul in June 2014 was, therefore, predictable. Recall, By mid-2014 Daesh controlled “a taxable population of some seven or eight million, oilfields and refineries, vast grain stores, lucrative smuggling routes and vast stockpiles of arms and ammunition, as well as entire parks of powerful modern military hardware.” Iran today remains concern about the terrorist threat of radical Wahhabi-inspired militant groups, while Iraq provides Iran with a significant level of strategic depth in thwarting militant terrorism. But, it was the US invasion in 2003 that helped Iran afford to extend its influence deep inside Iraqi society and the state structure. Iran has since expanded its influence and presence in Iraq through networks of political, security, economic and commercial venues, including Shi’a militia groups.
Iran’s increasing involvement in Syria is the result of the destabilization of Syria since 2011. The ‘easy’ NATO overthrow of Libya’s Muammar al-Qaddafi prompted the United States and its allies, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and (until recently) Turkey and Qatar, to pursue regime change in Syria. But, Iran and Syria had already signed a mutual defense pact in 2006 and formalized the establishment of a joint Iranian-Syrian Supreme Defense Commission to institutionalize long-term military cooperation. Syria’s uncompromising stance against Israeli occupation of its territory, its support for the Palestinian cause, its proximity to Lebanon, its access to the Mediterranean Sea, and its overall ‘anti-US’ posture in foreign policy made it a ‘natural ally’ for Iran. Syria also was one of only two Arab states that supported Iran in its war with Iraq. Iranian leadership keenly perceived the US-back attempt at regime change in Syria as a prelude to the downgrading and the destruction of Lebanese Hezbollah, and military action again Iran itself. That is, regime change in Iraq, Libya, and then in Syria would sniff out Iran’s regional influence, making it a much softer military target. Iran’s involvement in Syria, as in Iraq, is defensive and aims to extend its strategic depth to further (along with the help of Hezbollah in Lebanon) deter Israeli preemptive attacks on its nuclear and strategic assets without fear of reprisal.
Iran’s recruitment of Afghanis to fight in Syria has attracted serious criticism. However, Iran is not the only external force in Syria, as foreign fighters from Europe, Africa, Central Asia, and the Arab world have been fighting on opposite sides in the Syrian war theatre. This is not to justify the Iranian recruitment efforts, but to argue that the power vacuum created by the US and its Arab allies’ policy of regime change compelled the Assad regime to ask for a more entrenched Iranian participation. Iran’s involvement in Syria would have remained limited to military and economic cooperation, short of its current (and future) military presence. and foreign-fighters recruitment and sponsorship. The US and its regional allies’ intervention in Syria only incited Iran’s fear of regime change in Iran after Syria. The Russian Federation’s intervention was also predictable after the result of NATO intervention in Libya in 2011, and the Ukraine crisis in 2014.
The extent of Iran’s involvement in Yemen is highly overstated. The ‘Shi’a Houthi opposition to the corrupt central rule in Aden was and remains primarily a political movement, seeking structural change in the distribution of political power and socioeconomic resources. Yemen under Ali Abdullah Saleh experienced widespread corruption and mismanagement of the country. At the onset of the 2011 uprising, Yemen was one of the poorest countries in the world, with widespread unemployment and persistent inflation, and with billions of dollars in oil revenues embezzled or wasted. Forty percent of Yemen’s population lived on less than $2 a day. Whatever influence Iran may exert on the Houthi movement today, it is no more drastic than Saudi Arabia’s sponsorship of anti-Iranian-Shi’a antagonism in Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
Saudi Arabia has a legitimate concern about the unrest in Yemen. However, the long term menace to the Saudi regime derives from its gathering domestic popular discontent with the ruling royal family and the political elite. Saudi Arabia has thus far encountered the Arab Spring by throwing money at the problem, but as the Jamal Khashoggi affair highlights, there are deeper issues within the Kingdom’s crippling prospects for political legitimacy, accountability, and good governance. Recall Saudi Arabia’s previous intervention in Yemen in the 1960s, then fearing Egypt’s Gamal Abd al-Nasser’s pan-Arabism.
The Real Threat to Regional Stability
As I have previously argued, most Arab regimes lack legitimacy to rule and are marred with insecurity. The Arab governments in the past one hundred years have done a poor job in their attempts at building viable nation-states, the shortfall rests with ‘political underdevelopment’ that is destined to catch up with the ruling elites sooner or later. Arab regimes have relied on different strategies to dominate political power and to endure their authoritarian rule, relying on: foreign security and financial assistance, as in Egypt and Jordan; neo-Patrimonialism, Rentierism and foreign immigrant workers, as in Saudi Arabia and the Persian Gulf states; state largesse and sheer brutality, as in Iraq under Saddam Hussein, Qaddafi’s Libya, and Syria under the Assad family; corruption, nepotism, and Patrimonialism as in Yemen under Ali Abdullah Saleh, Tunisia under Ben Ali, and Morocco’s King Hassan, or a combination of these.
The absence of political democracy, corruption, absence of transparency and accountability in the political arena, and the presence of a weak civil society impede active citizen participation in governance. This situation has resulted in the humiliation of Arab peoples dignity, al-hogra or ihtiqaar, and culminated in the still-unresolved Arab Spring movements since 2011. Some Arab societies like Tunisia and Egypt have embarked upon a desperate journey for political freedom, economic opportunity, and human dignity. This has happened while Islamic movements, e.g., Muslim Brotherhood, have been unable to fill the political/ideological void in gaining the trust of popular support in national movements for freedom, prosperity and dignity. Western military interventions have not brought security and democracy and have failed to resolve the deficit of good governance in places like, among others, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, and Somalia.
Outside the Arab world, Turkey and Iran have demonstrated relative national congruence between the rulers and the ruled. Both countries are facing the daunting challenge of integrating political Islam within the broader cultural, sociopolitical and economic structure of society. Post Erdogan Turkey may abandon its experimentation with Islam in politics and return to its traditional republican ideals and nationalism. There is also much to speculate about the future direction of Iran’s experimentation with an ‘Islamic Republicanism.’ Iran has experienced a sociopolitical revolution in the past forty years, transmuting from a patrimonial, rentier state in the late 1970s into a welfare state with a dynamic society and well-established legal framework and social and political institutions. Its accomplishments in the nuclear, defense and scientific arenas are well documented, with major successes in education, medical biotechnology, and the health industries, while tackling an imposed eight-year war with Iraq in the1980s and almost non-stop UN and US sanctions since the revolution. Far from being a true republic, Iran’s journey away from monarchical dictatorship and toward a more open and dynamic society, however, must be recognized.
Iran’s experimentation with Islamic Republicanism raises many questions and concerns about the nature of state-society relation and the future shape and nature of democracy in modern Iran. The future will demonstrate if Iran will abandon republicanism for the sake of a ‘theocratic Islam,’ or will be forced to abandon political Islam for the sake of the separation of the mosque and the state and republicanism, or will succeed in approximating a ‘desired’ balance, where individual freedoms can be realized in a republic but where religiosity and matters of beliefs are also respected. Regardless, Iranian society is resilient, and, absent a major war or calamities, the future of national development is promising. Iran’s success in national development is more menacing to its rival Arab regimes than its nuclear or missile program.
Iran’s foreign policy since the revolution has championed ‘national self-reliance.’ This has been to the detriment of US military and political presence and interest in the Persian Gulf and the wider region. The rise of Iranian power is also at the heart of Arab regimes’ hostility towards Iran. The Arab political elites view Iran as a threat to their own existence, and not as a source with potentials for positive regional security cooperation and development. However, Iranian rise in power can be funneled toward regional peace, stability, and cooperation; Iran’s participation can serve the cause of Persian Gulf security and reduce U.S. military presence in line with a ‘Trumpian America First’ slogan. As a recent survey points out, majorities polled in Egypt, Turkey, and Iraq want either to see the Iran nuclear deal kept in force or want to see Iran brought into a larger diplomatic settlement. The November 2018 Zogby poll also reminds us that, “people in the region for the most part (outside of Saudi Araba and the UAE) really dislike US policy.” Most people reject US policy in the region that has protected Arab regimes at the expense of civil society and democracy. The historical ‘patron-client’ relationship between major powers and countries in the region must come to an end. This will not happen, however, so long as regimes in the region remain autocratic and authoritarian.

The past several years have been marked by increased
competition among banks and alternative lenders, each
stretching to offer the most attractive financing terms and
structures in order to win deal mandates from borrowers
and private equity groups. To remain relevant in this
competitive market, lenders have become more flexible
on terms and adept at structuring transactions that
include multiple tranches of debt and/or multiple liens.
These transactions necessitate complex intercreditor
arrangements among the lenders.
With multi-faceted intercreditor arrangements increasingly
common in transactions today, and built-in flexibility in
loan documents to accommodate additional debt and liens
in a variety of structures on a self-executing, post-closing
basis, it is critical for lenders to have a firm grasp of the
considerations involved in intercreditor arrangements.
The purpose of this article is to provide a comparison of the
key aspects of several of the more common intercreditor
arrangements, with a focus on the following types of
structures: first lien/second lien, split collateral, senior/
mezzanine, and unitranche.

In 2015 they released their debut single Deep Blue Skies, an expansive space-rock intoxicant that announced their dream-like offerings to the world in a trippy, hypnotic statement piece.
They spent the consequent years smashing Glasto sets and SXSW showcases, generating a respectable amount of buzz as one of the most electric live acts on the UK indie scene.
The Vryll Society kept the fans hanging though, a string of singles followed to similar acclaim, further exploring the band's kaleidoscopic take on indie rock, but a full LP always felt like some far-off dream.
Until today, of course.
Today marks the release of the band’s debut album, Course of the Satellite, an enigmatic release that builds on the band's blissfully spacey, reverb-soaked endeavours and delivers on the hype, proving unequivocally that slow and steady does indeed win the race.
We caught up with the quintet to find out which artists, songs and post-apocalyptic nightmare scenarios inspired them in crafting their latest ethereal masterpiece.
Neu - Hallogallo
This is a song that inspired us to include some Krautrock vibes within our song writing which you can hear all over the album. We really like the drum sound and the continuous bass through the song.
Post Nuclear Disco
When we were creating ‘Inner Life’ we created a little scenario in which basically we pictured that there had been some k ind of nuclear disaster and there were a few people left, coming out of hiding. The scene leads to the people eventually escaping the area and making it to the safety of some kind of rocket ship waiting to take them away, all the while whilst being chased by nuclear zombies.
We have always loved ‘Air’ the French band, they have always been one of our influences and probably always will be in some way. You can hear hints of it in the album.
Radiohead – House of Cards
Definitely influenced the guitar playing in the song Give Into Me - the beautifully haunting sound of that song (house of cards), the space and the reverb was a big influence when writing that song.
The Common People – Those Who Love
This fits in with our Axelrod influence, I believe he arranged the strings on this song which was something we always had in mind when we started to record, that sombre atmosphere with beautiful uplifting strings go well everywhere.
David Axelrod – Holy Thursday
We take inspiration from Axelrod, especially in terms of drums and bass - not only from how they sound but the rhythms and movements. The guitar sound on Holy Thursday we love and wanted to make our own for the album. The guitar cuts through so well on this record and we wanted that on ours, as when the music in our tracks is kind of floating and grooving along, the guitar needs to stand out. This sound is perfect for it and works a treat, sharp and crisp.
We’ve always been into Tame Impala from the get-go. Our synth sounds amongst other things are heavily inspired by Tame Impala also drums sounds and techniques.
DJ Shadow - Midnight In A Perfect World
We love Trip Hop, you can really hear it on a track like Soft Glue. It's something we'd like to push again on the second album and who better to try and take notes from than the shadow, arguably his best song and smoother than silk to listen to, serious track on a very fine album.
Nick Cave - Nobody's Baby Now
An unlikely influence but Give In To Me was originally very indebted to Nick Cave before it took it's transformation into outta space Brian Eno territory, Lyrically very similar to the eccentric Aussie genius and stripped down on an acoustic you can get that type of vibe that he goes for.
Some of the atmospherics and suspense which Vangelis used in Aphrodites Child and also the soundtrack for Blade Runner we have always loved so of course we are going to throw little bits of that in to our record.

Yes, folks, the truth is, there's absolutely no reason to fear a white carpet installation. In Marietta, GA. Nowadays, the trend leans towards lighter shades, though white and off-white lead the list of must-have colors. How's that even possible, you might ask? Well, when it comes down to it, there are many reasons. But, the main one indeed points to modern technological advances in the manufacturing industry. If you're still wary of such a "troublesome" color, you'll want to read this helpful post, written by our Select Floors Marietta and Roswell, GA showroom pros. According to them, these are the top two reasons why a white carpet installation is a fantastic decision.
#1: New Technology Means Better Protection
As we mentioned, modern technological advances result in a friendlier soft surface flooring. Back in the day, a carpet installation in Roswell, for example, was merely a plain, untreated surfacing. That's it, there were no bells or whistles, so it's no wonder people stayed away from such a color. Of course, since the fibers weren't treated, that also meant homeowners had a full-time side-job protecting their surfacing from-- everything! From pets to kids to shoes, it's no wonder grandma used to wrap her furniture in plastic. If she could, she likely would have done the same for her precious white fibers!
#2: Cleaning Products Have Changed Over Time
Over time, cleaning agents have certainly changed. A few decades ago, the best cleaning product to combat tough stains on white surfacing fibers was bleach. Now, this chemical did do a great job on anything that needed to return to its original white color. Unfortunately, it created a dangerous chemical spill in the process. Talk about a health hazard! Thankfully, those days are in the past, and no one is forced to unknowingly inhale chemical spores from sitting bacteria and other such substances. Now, we have tough, yet eco-friendly products to clean a colorful disaster on your whiter-than-white fibers. And, it does so while keeping your indoor air quality perfect, without the presence of spores in the air.
At this point, you really shouldn't fear white anymore! Aside from being a gorgeous design element, white fibers are a sure-fire way to add a fluid, ever-flowing quality to your home. Design-wise, there's nothing as daring or as pure, as white fibers.

With classrooms from coast to coast locked up and teachers as well as students stuck at home, the ability to teach remotely has never been more important. But it takes more than a webcam, a nimble teacher and some digital content to make it all work, according to Mo Katibeh, executive vice president and chief marketing officer at AT&T Business. An 18-year veteran of AT&T, Katibeh is responsible for getting data to more than 3 million customers.
Due to social distancing requirements, we had an email conversation in early April about the role of data and communications links in remote learning.
Tech & Learning: How important is broadband data to curriculum today?
Mo Katibeh: The nationwide massive shift to eLearning means that broadband data is absolutely necessary for K-12 and higher-ed students. In addition to using technology for homework assignments, our education customers see the need for their students to have broadband access to investigate, explore, research and respond to learning assignments. And, the need is just as important for teachers and administrators, who not only need bandwidth, but highly secure data to conduct their jobs.
T&L: Should the students’ experience at home be equivalent to the one at school?
MK: We know that the virtual learning experience won’t always be equivalent to a classroom experience. But there are also many benefits to eLearning. Right now, education experts across the country are trying to determine what is the optimal amount of video conferencing, independent study and use of other online resources. There isn’t necessarily one answer.
We are seeing teachers who use video applications for teaching classes and also use it during times of independent study for students to ask questions. Other educators are gathering their classes together in the morning and then allowing students to work on their lessons throughout the day. There are many models right now depending on the age, grade and content.
T&L: Is video an increasingly popular way to teach?
Yes, at every level of education. Video is extremely popular in higher education and used extensively for online degree programs. Some colleges are even using programs for incoming freshmen with the plan to move students into the classroom in later years. This allows higher acceptance rates without the limitations of on-campus housing.
Most K-12 teachers use video content to support their own teaching and for occasional collaboration with experts outside the classroom. Yet, direct delivery of instruction via video is not prevalent for K-12. There are many innovative teachers using video content with their students during the COVID-19 crisis.
T&L: What are the delivery choices these days(LTE, 5G, Wi-Fi, phone hotspot, stationary wireless, ...)?
MK: Yes, all of the above. The right answer depends on where you are, of course. Many students will be using their home Wi-Fi. However, mobile broadband also plays a key role.
T&L: What is AT&T doing to make the transition to home teaching and learning easier?
MK: Moving the classroom into the home requires that every student has access to the Internet. We launched an unlimited wireless data offer for new lines, at no cost for 60 days, to qualified public and private K-12 schools, colleges and universities.
Schools also need to ensure they can block or filter internet content that can be harmful to students. We’ve included a content-filtering solution in our offer to help schools protect the children in their care.
To further support Internet access to communities across the country, we’ve expanded our low-cost option for home Internet service with Access from AT&T program. And, we’re also offering video conferencing solutions that support students, teachers, and entire administrations.
T&L: Has the company seen a big increase in the use of broadband data since schools have closed?
MK: Yes. We have seen increases in traffic, for example audio/video conferencing minutes. As of April 6th, we’ve had an overall a 23 percent increase in data traffic versus a similar day in February, but this includes things other than teaching.
Overall, our network is performing very well. Our employees are working around the clock installing, maintaining and repairing our network so our customers can communicate with each other and stay connected. We are adapting and adding capacity when and where needed to address the minimal congestion resulting from the shift of traffic from work and school to home.

‘The Shady Tree’ is the name I have given my recording environment. At its core, the Shady tree exists to facilitate my creative endeavours. It has taken many different configurations through the years and undergone constant upgrades. At the moment, the central nervous system revolves around Logic Pro X running on a Macbook Pro interfaced with a Universal Audio Apollo Quad Core. While I do have outboard gear, I am becoming increasingly focused on using Universal Audio’s vintage plugin collection. In terms of microphones, I actually do 90% of my recording using a Neumann KM-184. On occasion, I pair it with a Neumann TLM 103. I have numerous other microphones collecting dust on my shelf - a testament to my evolving knowledge and, thankfully, budget.
Another central component of ‘The Shady Tree’ is the instruments. My goal has been to have at least one high - quality instrument in each of the areas I focus - guitar (acoustic and electric), bass, piano, and drums. At the moment, the highlights include a Japanese made Yamaha U1 upright and a set of vintage Ludwig Standards. It is an exciting time to be a musician. Having started recording on a Tascam 4-Track in the early nineties and then graduating to a Fostex R-8, 1/8 inch reel to reel with a Mackie 1604 VLZ mixer and finally into the digital realm with Protools and Logic, r, the current state of technology would have been inconceivable to me back then. While the tools of creation are certainly more accessible, the knowledge of how to effectively use them remains a life-long pursuit.

My wife was sick as a dog on Tuesday so I had to take my daughter to day care. As we drove towards her school I noticed my daughter was very quiet. Turning down the jazz playing on the radio I looked at her in the rearview and asked, “Is everything all right, honey?”
Looking very serious my daughter just shook her head. Was she angry at me? Discomfited by the break from her usual Mommy routine? Thinking about butterflies, potty training or the existence of a Supreme Being? There was no way to fathom what was going on in her little synapse forming brain.
As we headed down the road I tried engaging her in conversation and failed. I’ve been very busy lately and we haven’t had much daddy/daughter time. That kind of upsets me. Maybe it upsets her too. My daughter is two and a half. This sweet and innocent time will never come again. I don’t want to miss it. Reminding myself to be a good father, I made a mental reservation to take her to the playground later that afternoon. Natalie loves going down the slides.
I see something new in my daughter daily. Yesterday she showed me how she could open the back door, load laundry into the washing machine and kind of throw a ball. Every day she displays a little bit more reassurance, better motor control, mastery of new words – including a few she shouldn’t know – and a fierce independence. If I try and carry her up a flight of stairs she throws a fit, demanding to do it herself and counting each step as I hover behind her. Every day she evinces signs of an emerging consciousness and a ferocious intelligence. She can do most of the alphabet in sign language and is starting to read. She’ll probably end up smarter than my wife and I.
But I’ve also been noticing other changes. Lately my old dog Buster has been peeing on the kitchen floor at night. That’s because he’s afraid to go outside when it’s dark, a sign of encroaching blindness. My parents have both been afflicted with medical maladies requiring all sorts of medical intervention and I’m now sporting a bald spot on top of my head. What is happening to me? Just yesterday I was razzing my father about turning fifty and now I’m closing in on the half century mark. Everyone and everything around me is getting older. Number provides all distances.
There was a recent article in The Washington Post that said when you turn thirty-seven you are now older than 50% of the people in the world. By the time you’re fifty that ratio increases to two thirds. If you’ve been wondering why everyone is getting younger, it is because they are. When I went to see the new Star Wars movie I was bored. Movies and books often fail to surprise me because I’ve been alive long enough to figure out how they’ll end. Sometimes it seems there’s nothing new under the sun. In the quiet I realize my life is more than half over.
I looked at my daughter’s reflection and sighed. She’ll be a young woman when I’m an old man. Will I be around when she gets married and has children? Nothing in life is guaranteed. My parents won’t hold their great-grandkids and by then Buster will be nothing more than a memory. “Many great dears are taken away,” I silently whisper. “What will become of you and me?”
How I handle growing old will probably impact my daughter deeply. If I screw it up she’ll get hurt and end up financing some therapists’ summer home. Besides, what is the purpose of getting old? Why this inevitable decline? Why the losses and indignities; to watch as our bodies betray us and grow frail? “Everyday gets harder,” an 84-year-old man recently told me. “Old age is a shipwreck.”
A while back I stumbled across a sermon given by a Muslim imam. “The shape that we have,” he preached, “The complexion we have, the wrinkleless face that we have, every one of those things begins to disappear as time passes, have you noticed that? …. The truth is, it’s a reality, we are becoming old. And when we become old we start losing one by one the glamour and the glitterous things that we’ve had. We start losing these things. Because Allah is trying to tell you, ‘Have you prepared for something bigger?’ We gave you your days. We really did. We gave you so much. Now we want you to come to us.”
“Have you prepared for something bigger?” That imam’s words have stayed with me. Perhaps that is what old age is all about. Maybe old age is pruning of sorts, a stripping away of what’s not important. Maybe all the losses we shall face are just preparation to help us let go and focus on what is unchanging and true.
What is unchanging and true? I don’t know. But I’m beginning to think that life is all about the connections we create – the relationships we make with people great and small. We have been given so much. What did we do with it? Were we merciful? Were we kind? Did we love enough? Money and power will mean nothing at the last breath. The only thing that’ll count was how we treated one another. That keeps me awake at night. Perhaps it should. As I shift in my car seat I wonder if that’ll be the path to my salvation, the way I will teach Natalie about life.
When I got to the school I brought Natalie to the playground. As soon as she saw her schoolmates playing on the jungle gym she said, “Bye Daddy,” and took off without looking back. That burned a bit but I guess that’s the way of things.
Leaning on the fence I felt every inch of my forty-eight years. As I watched my daughter cavort on the playground the old words came rushing back.
Each minute bursts in the burning room,
The great globe reels in the solar fire,
Spinning the trivial and unique away.
(How all things flash! How all things flare!)
What am I now that I was then?
Nay memory restore again and again
The smallest color of the smallest day:
Time is the school in which we learn,
Time is the fire in which we burn.
Thinking of Natalie, I went back to my small day and continued to burn.

The Great Barrier Reef is located off of the north-eastern face of Australia off of the coast of the state of Queensland in the Coral Sea. While the name implies a single reef, it is actually a reef system. In fact, it is the largest reef system in the world, stretching over 2,300 km (1,600 miles) with 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands. The reef system extends from Bundaberg in the south to the tip of Cape York Peninsula in the north. It is visible from outer space and is the world’s largest structure on Earth made by living organisms. The vast number of reef systems contain a unique range of ecological communities, habitats, and species which make the Great Barrier Reef an ideal place for diving or snorkeling.
The Great Barrier Reef sits in what is known as the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area. The Great Barrier Reef Heritage Area encompasses an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers (133,000 sq mi.) and extends into the low water mark of the mainland of Australia. This is a protected area and in addition the the reef, this area also includes mangroves and the sandy beaches of the islands and cays which are important for breeding colonies of seabirds and marine turtles in addition to the life underneath the water.
There are thousands of species of brilliantly colored reef fish and different kinds of soft and hard coral that provide a diversity of shapes, sizes, and colors not found anywhere else in the world. It is also home to many natural phenomena throughout the year including nesting turtles, migrating whales, the spawning of the various fish species, and the annual coral spawning.
Six of the seven species of sea turtles live on the Great Barrier Reef and at least 242 species of birds have been recorded there as well. There are also 30 species of whales and dolphins that occur there. With so many species it is no wonder that it is the globally important breeding ground for so many different species including the Green Sea Turtle and 22 species of birds.
The Great Barrier Reef Heritage area is maintained by the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority. It is an independent Australian Government agency and protects and manages the Great Barrier Reef with conservation being their primary aim.
Throughout the Great Barrier Reef there is special zoning for various uses to help protect it. If you are thinking of seeing the Great Barrier Reef without a tour guide, check with the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority before planning your trip.
The most popular location to see the Great Barrier Reef is from Cairns, as it has an international airport terminal and has more tours to see the Great Barrier Reef than any other location. It is not the only place to see the Great Barrier Reef though and other options include the Whitsundays, Cape Tribulation, or Port Douglas which is an hours drive from Cairns.
While it is an amazing spot to go scuba diving, many people prefer to just snorkel the Great Barrier Reef as well since the majority of the life on the Reef is in less than 10 meters of water.

No. 82 Ceylon Curry Dosa at Khazana 9234 Park Meadows Drive, Lone Tree 303-993-8335
They say we eat with our eyes first; if that's the case, we would be full before we even took a bite of Khazana's immense dosa. Thankfully, the crisp lentil crepe with its curry filling -- goat, in this case -- is as good as it looks, with flavors as big as the arm-length roll dominating a plate that seems tiny in comparison.

A spin-off of the now-closed Jai Ho in Aurora (there's also Jai Ho Bolder in Boulder), Khazana features a menu with the same cheeky descriptions ("channa -- giant puffy fried bread with many options and a bright future") and focus on lesser known Southern Indian and street-food specialties. The kitchen turns out a few varieties of dosa, like a smaller, pancake-like Oothapam dosa and a thick, soft kal dosa, but its this version -- big as a manhole cover -- with it's shiny, caramalized surface and buttery interior studded with chopped cilantro, that keeps our attention.
Also available with Ceylon chicken curry and at least two vegetarian versions, the dosa is definitely the star, so you can't go wrong with any of the choices. Our choice of goat (called "mutton" here, as with most Indian restaurant menus) was tender and mild and enrobed in a velvety sauce bursting with so many interwoven spice flavors they became impossible to individually identify. An extra side of the curry sauce means every bite of dosa can be dipped to extend the experience. There's a definite kick from chile peppers as well as the bright flavors of ginger, lemon and fresh herbs, giving way to toastiness from dry spices like cumin, fenugreek and cardamom.
From the moment the waiter emerges from the kitchen door, all eyes turn toward the bronzed beauty of the dosa. And long after we were full, we continued to tear bites of the crepe from the hulking remains of the dish (like a foundering shipwreck at the edge of the table) and stealing scoops of the curry. Impressive and intimidating at first sight, the flavors and textures are welcoming and fun: party food for a big group or -- for just $12 ($11 if you prefer chicken) -- a cheap meal for two.

Increasing the amount of HGH in the body can help with burning more body fat and gaining more muscle. It can create additional energy and also boost endurance levels. Some users find it helps them to be stronger, and all of this adds up to the ability to see some results. For some, they get frustrated as their efforts have stalled. They have hit a plateau and no matter what they have done, it isn’t helping them to see the progress again.
A cycle of HGH may be what a person needs in order to move beyond that plateau. If you feel you have leveled out, this can be a good option to try. Make sure you use a very good HGH supplement though. Otherwise, the efforts aren’t going to pay off and you are still going to be stuck where you were. At first, it can be easier to lose weight and to burn body fat. Yet the less weight you have and the less body fat, it is going to be increasingly hard to see the results continue.
The right substances in the body can help you to get an outcome you will be very happy with. Experienced athletes and bodybuilders all share that a cycle of HGH is the secret to being able to keep moving forward and to achieve the goals you planned to reach. Rather than giving up, change what you are doing and give your body every chance to be successful.
What to Expect from HGH Supplements
Your body isn’t able to identify the difference between natural HGH that it creates and what you introduce though a supplement. As a result, the increase in it is going to boost metabolism and help you burn more fat and calories. It can also help your overall heart function, and that is encouraging. The compound is going to help the fibers of the muscles open up so they have the ability to grow. It can also improve your skin and hair, making you look and feel younger than before.
Is HGH the Same as an Anabolic Steroid?
While HGH compounds can help you to see some of the same benefits as anabolic steroids, they aren’t the same type of product. HGH is mild and there are far fewer side effects to worry about. It is easier to obtain and it is less expensive. HGH doesn’t work as quickly as anabolic steroids either, but it is going to give you the value you are after if you are patient.
Make sure you use the product correctly and you stick with the recommended dosage. Don’t be tempted to use more of it, as that isn’t going to give you additional value by doing so. It is just going to increase the risk of possible side effects. When HGH cycles are used correctly, a person can get over a plateau and continue on the path they have carved out to gain amazing results!

A brutal survival of the fittest ensured a rapid evolution of these characterful machines; the final fighters were over six times faster and around ten times heavier than the first generation. The Tigercat also had forty times more horsepower than a World War I fighter. The era of classic fighter planes ended on a high-point with huge, powerful masterpieces.

The LaGG-3 was a modification of that design that attempted to correct this by both lightening the airframe and fitting a more powerful engine. Nevertheless, this was not enough, and the lack of power remained a significant problem.
Since the LaGG-3 was powered by an inline engine , they accomplished this by grafting on the nose section of a Sukhoi Su-2 which used this engine. When the prototype took flight in March, the result was surprisingly pleasing — the fighter finally had a powerplant that allowed it to perform as well in the air as it had been supposed to on paper. Gudkov , was no longer with the programme , Air Force test pilots declared it superior to the Yak-7, and intensive flight tests began in April.
By July, Stalin ordered maximum-rate production of the aircraft and the conversion of any incomplete LaGG-3 airframes to the new configuration, now simply known as the La-5 despite Vladimir P. Gorbunov still being with the programme. The prototype was put in mass production almost immediately in factories located in Moscow and in the Yaroslav region. Design changes for main production La-5 models included slats to improve all-round performance.
While still inferior to the best German fighters at higher altitudes, the La-5 proved to be every bit their match closer to the ground. Further refinement of the aircraft involved cutting down the rear fuselage to give the pilot better visibility, making this version the La-5F. Later, a fuel-injected engine, a different engine air intake and further lightening of the aircraft led to the designation La-5FN that would become the definitive version of the aircraft.
A full circle turn took 18—19 seconds. Altogether, 9, La-5s of all variants were built, including a number of dedicated trainer versions, designated La-5UTI. Very late La-5FN production models had two 20mm Berezin B cannon installed in the cowling in place of the heavier two 20mm ShVAK both were capable of a salvo weight of 3.
Further improvements of the aircraft would lead to the Lavochkin La A number of La-5s continued in the service of Eastern Bloc nations after the end of the war, including Czechoslovakia. Flying the La-5[ edit ] In the summer of , a brand-new La-5 made a forced landing on a German airfield, providing the Luftwaffe with an opportunity to test-fly the newest Soviet fighter. Test pilot Hans-Werner Lerche wrote a detailed report of his experience.
All of the engine controls throttle, mixture, propeller pitch, radiator and cowl flaps, and supercharger gearbox had separate levers which forced the pilot to make constant adjustments during combat or risk suboptimal performance. For example, rapid acceleration required moving no less than six levers.
Stability in all axes was generally good. The authority of the ailerons was deemed exceptional but the rudder was insufficiently powerful at lower speeds. The La-5 was found to have a top speed and acceleration at low altitude that were comparable to Luftwaffe fighters.
The La-5FN possessed a slightly higher roll rate than the Bf However, the Bf was slightly faster and had the advantage of a higher rate of climb and better turn rate. However, the Fw A-8 was faster at all altitudes and had significantly better dive performance and a superior roll-rate. Utilizing MW 50 both German fighters had superior performance at all altitudes. The La-5 had its defects. To make things worse, exhaust gas often entered the cockpit due to poor insulation of the engine compartment.
Consequently, pilots ignored orders and frequently flew with their canopies open. At first we received regular La-5s, but then we got new ones containing the ASh FN engine with direct injection of fuel into the cylinders. It was perfected and had better maneuverability, acceleration, speed and climb rate compared to the early variants. Everyone was in love with the La It was easy to maintain, too.
Lavochkin Piston Fighters
Even with all that background, this book managed to turn up several photos of aircraft I had not seen before, definitely a nice surprise. But while my illustrations covered just the wartime Lavochkins, this book handles all the piston-engined aircraft, up through the La, with text, photos and drawings. This book sheds a little light on the problem, but it is not a definitive treatise on the differences between all the LaGG-3 variants. This is a wise choice, as you could easily fill the entire pages with nothing but documenting the different modifications made by the different factories producing the LaGG
He was hired on to the Soviet TsKB aircraft design bureau, working on a number of projects; in , he and Mikhail I. Gudkov joined a design team led by Vladimir P. Gorbunov, to develop a modern piston fighter designated the "I" -- "Istrebitel Fighter , State Factory ". The first of two I prototypes, painted cherry red, flew for the first time on 30 March , with A. Nikashin at the controls. After a series of initial flights, Nikashin reported that the aircraft was easy to fly; the prototype overflew Moscow during the May Day celebrations of The I emerged as a clean, racy, low-wing monoplane with retractable taildragger landing gear, powered by a Klimov M water-cooled vee inline engine driving a three-bladed variable-pitch propeller; it had three self-sealing fuel tanks in the center wing section.

In this article, a novel method for the systematic design of a planar three-degrees-of-freedom compliance device with desired compliance characteristics is presented. For the realization of desired compliance, the synthesis method of stiffness of a planar mechanism is first derived. The compliance device may be directly realized by means of parallel connections of the synthesized springs. However, the use of several mechanical elements such as joints and guides for spring assemblies for the realization may cause significant complexity in manufacturing the compliance device with high precision and in compact size. In order to resolve the problem, the form of serial connections of three torsional springs which has the same compliance as the form of parallel connections of the synthesized line springs is proposed. The serial form of torsional springs can be physically realized by designing proper shape of the circular flexure hinge corresponding to each of the torsional springs. For the illustration of the proposed design method, a planar serial compliance device with high compliance to the normal contact force is designed and verified by finite element method analysis.

Much of the task of software risk management consists of identifying those sequences of events that can lead to a hazardous situation and identifying points in the sequences of events at which the sequence can be interrupted, preventing harm or reducing its probability.
These categories are specific to software, arising from the difficulty of correctly specifying and implementing a complex system and the difficulty of completely verifying a complex system. Software should always be considered in a system perspective and software risk management cannot be performed in isolation from the system.

Global convention delegates consider strict limits on climate engineering
According to draft language obtained by The Washington Post, the proposal would declare that "no climate-related geo-engineering activities... that may affect biodiversity take place, until there is an adequate scientific basis on which to justify such activities and appropriate consideration of the associated risks for the environment and biodiversity and associated social, economic and cultural impacts, with the exception of small-scale scientific research studies" under a controlled setting.
The measure could stifle ongoing research projects in the European Union, Britain, Germany and Finland. The United States is considering whether to start a climate engineering program, but since it has not ratified the convention's global treaty, it would not be bound by any of its prohibitions.
Rafe Pomerance, a senior fellow at the advocacy group and think tank Clean Air Cool Planet, said it would be a serious mistake to adopt the new restrictions.
"Rather than encourage research, the decision throws a cloud over the whole enterprise," he wrote in an e-mail. "A potential tool that may be necessary to save the world biodiversity is being constrained."
But advocates of the measure, such as the international grassroots advocacy organization ETC Group, suggest it will rein in uncontrolled attempts to alter the earth's climate.
"It is a consensual, common sense and precautionary decision that was carefully negotiated by 193 governments," wrote ETC Group program manager Diana Bronson in an e-mail. "The decision is intended to bring the Climate engineering cowboys into line -- those who are ready to get on with dangerous and high-risk experiments without any international governance or proper examination of side effects. There are many people in the scientific community who agree that this precaution is necessary. Those who are keen on geo-engineering experiments, for understandable reasons do not like it."
The Convention on Biodiversity was created in 1993 under the auspices of the United Nations Environment Program. The binding treaty requires its parties to develop and implement plans for sustainable use and protection of biodiversity and holds an annual convention on biodiversity issues. The CBD lists 193 nations as "parties," with 168 having signed the treaty.
The draft also instructs the convention's Subsidiary Body on Scientific,Technical and Technological Advice (to examine the issue and report back before the parties meet again two years from now. The proposed ban is likely to come up for a vote Friday, the last day of the two-week meeting.
The full wording of the prohibition follows after the jump:
(w) Ensure, in line and consistent with decision IX/16 C, on ocean fertilization and biodiversity and climate change, in the absence of science based, global, transparent and effective control and regulatory mechanisms for geo-engineering, and in accordance with the precautionary approach and Article 14 of the Convention, that no climate-related geo-engineering activities (see below) that may affect biodiversity take place, until there is an adequate scientific basis on which to justify such activities and appropriate consideration of the associated risks for the environment and biodiversity and associated social, economic and cultural impacts, with the exception of small scale scientific research studies that would be conducted in a controlled setting in accordance with Article 3 of the Convention, and only if they are justified by the need to gather specific scientific data and are subject to a thorough prior assessment of the potential impacts on the environment;
(y) Make sure that ocean fertilization activities are addressed in accordance with decision IX/16 C acknowledging the work of the London Convention/London Protocol;
Without prejudice to future deliberations on the definition of geo-engineering activities, understanding that any technologies which deliberately reduce solar insolation or increase carbon sequestration from the atmosphere on a large scale that may affect biodiversity (excluding carbon capture and storage from fossil fuels when it captures carbon dioxide
before it is released into the atmosphere) should be considered as forms of geo-engineering which are relevant to the Convention on Biological Diversity until a more precise definition can be developed. Noting that solar insolation is defined as a measure of solar radiation energy received on a given surface area in a given hour and that carbon sequestration is defined as the process of increasing the carbon content of a reservoir/pool other than the atmosphere.
The new instructions to the SBSTTA:
(n) Taking full account of the views and experiences of indigenous and local communities, small farmers, fishers and livestock keepers, compile and synthesize available scientific information on:
(i) The possible impacts of geo-engineering techniques on biodiversity and associated social, economic and cultural impacts;
(ii) Governance options for regulating geo-engineering activities; and
(iii) Options on definitions and scopes of geo-engineering, and make this information available for consideration at a meeting of the Subsidiary Body on Scientific, Technical and Technological Advice prior to the eleventh meeting of the Conference of the Parties; (n bis) Taking into account the possible need for science based global, transparent and effective control and regulatory mechanisms, subject to the availability of financial resources, undertake a study on gaps in existing related mechanisms for climate-related geo-engineering relevant to the Convention on Biological Diversity, bearing in mind that such mechanisms may not be best placed under the Convention on Biological Diversity, for consideration by the Subsidiary Body on Scientific technical and Technological Advice prior to a future meeting of the Conference of the Parties and to communicate the results to relevant organizations.

Efforts to locate victims and wreckage of AirAsia flight QZ8501 which crashed into the Java Sea in Indonesia on Sunday are being hampered by stormy weather and strong tides.
Indonesian officials have confirmed that remains and debris found in the waters off Borneo are from the plane.
The authorities say that seven bodies have now been retrieved.
The Airbus A320-200, carrying 162 people from Surabaya in Indonesia to Singapore, disappeared on Sunday.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo has promised a “massive search by the ships and helicopters” with the focus on recovering the bodies of victims.
A public memorial will be held in Surabaya on Wednesday evening local time, and the governor of East Java province has told the BBC that all New Year Eve celebrations have been cancelled.
“Now we are focused on praying for the victims,” said Soekarwo, who uses one name like many Indonesians. “This is a big tragedy for Indonesia and we will do our best for the victims and their families.”
Families have had to endure an agonising wait for news
At the scene: Alice Budisatrijo, Surabaya airport
As the relatives of the QZ8501 passengers and crew wait for the bodies of their loved ones to return to Surabaya, the Indonesian officials are trying to assure them that everything is being done to ensure a swift process.
It is day four since the aircraft went missing from the radar and concerns are growing that the remains will be too difficult to identify. News of bad weather hampering the recovery efforts is another setback for the grieving relatives.
Many say the government and Air Asia have been handling the tragedy as well as they could but all the relatives want is for their loved ones to be properly identified so they can be laid to rest.
Aircraft from several countries were set to scan the sea in the early hours of Wednesday morning. Divers were also being deployed to search for bodies and for the plane’s “black box” flight recorders.
But officials said heavy rain, strong winds and waves of up to 3m (10ft) had forced them to suspend the air operation, though ships already in place were continuing the search.
The search is now focused on the area of sea where the plane is believed to have crashed
Officials are collecting information on all the passengers from friends and relatives
Detailed information will be used to help with identifying victims once they are found and brought ashore
The head of Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency, Bambang Soelistyo, said another body had been retrieved from the sea on Wednesday, bringing the total to seven. One was a woman wearing cabin crew uniform.
The bodies are on board two ships but helicopters sent to bring them back to the nearest town, Pangkalan Bun, have had to turn back because of the weather, he said.
The navy had reported on Tuesday that more than 40 bodies had been recovered, but spokesman Manahan Simorangkir later told AFP news agency the figure had been a miscommunication by his staff.
‘Shadow’ under water
On board the plane were 137 adult passengers, 17 children and one infant, along with two pilots and five crew.
Pictures of debris were taken by search and rescue aircraft
A tent for taking DNA samples has been set up near the airport at Surabaya
Most were Indonesian but the passengers included one UK national, a Malaysian, a Singaporean and three South Koreans.
It is not yet clear what happened to the plane but its last communication was a request from air traffic control to move up to avoid bad weather. The pilot never responded when given permission.
Officials say rescuers are “very busy” with the salvage operation
A three-day search ended on Tuesday when remains including aircraft parts, luggage and the bodies believed to be passengers were found in the Karimata Strait, south-west of Pangkalan Bun in the Borneo province of Central Kalimantan.
Bambang Soelistyo said a shadow had been spotted under the water, which appeared to be in the shape of a plane.
Pictures of debris and bodies were shown on Indonesian TV to distraught relatives waiting at Surabaya’s Juanda international airport.
Those watching the pictures were visibly shocked, with some collapsing.
The search is being led by Indonesia but is a multinational effort. Singapore has sent ships equipped with sensors to detect pings that may be emitted from the plane’s black boxes.
Malaysia, Australia and Thailand are also involved, while the US destroyer USS Sampson has been sent to the zone.
AirAsia previously had an excellent safety record and there were no fatal accidents involving its aircraft.
The head of the airline, Tony Fernandes, said he was “absolutely devastated” and that the priority was on the wellbeing of passengers’ families.
Are you, or is someone you know, affected by this story? Do you know any of the passengers on the AirAsia flight? You can email [email protected] with any information. Please leave a telephone number if you are willing to be contacted by a BBC journalist.

Beauty thy name is
It was another day and another shy the color of my wife’s eyes, a the smoothest of blue, the ever so subtle hint of a deeper blue just in the distance.
I decided to follow the same steps I had that got me everything on the poor bastard, the more I thought about it the more I really felt for the guy, still that was only the one side of the story, and in any divorce case there was always too sides, to tall tales and even, when there are children a third, but since I couldn’t speak dog, I was going to have to deal with this on the human level, and both of these people, to use the term loosely, only just made into the human category.
I found the ATM easy enough, not in the upper crust section of town but this made sense, she liked to work out, and need a top gym and this area had the best, not a look at me I am beautiful gym, but a I really gotta hit the bag gym, a place where if you ain’t dripping then you ain’t working out place, and it did have some sort of effect on here, I guess if that is how she kept her shape, for lack of a better word, then all is good, and just a short walk away there it was, the work out palace.
No need to go in and show a picture, I knew she was a member, they had pictures of people putting one in, a session that would make most men sweat just looking at the pictures, and there was was, in the background ropes in had and dripping wet, part one done, she was playing it right as rain and I had the feeling that this was going to be a one sided affair.
Still, what does one do after a work out, now me, if I have busted a nut in the gym, yes I do hit the bag now and then as a PI one has to be able to make sure that your dropping skills, for those not in in the know punching skills, are up to scratch and I could still drop a man or woman, I am not s sexist, with one punch.
Me, as I was saying before I had to explain myself, me, I tend to drop a few pounds and then go and put them right back on, lets face it, you work out you want a drink, I do.
I decided to take a wander around this area, its not really a part of town I have often been in, the precinct here was run by a bit of a dick, and I don’t mean detective. A man on a mission he was, he had a plan, he was on his way to the top, he was going to make commissioner, youngest ever to run BPD, yeah he was a dick.
We tended not to mix business and avoid this area, he always wanted his boys to make the arrest, and so, when anything led to his district we would just send him the details and let his boys go and do the dirty work, while a Dick he was, you couldn’t bitch with his record, they cleared, and they cleaned and year on year he and his crew put in a solid performance, still we all know that changed don’t we, but I digress.
I saw a few places, and I had to pick one, so I did a little circle and then I saw what I had been looking for without knowing it, I saw someone else from the workout pictures at gym, sitting down and enjoying a meal and a coffee, so I went in and had a seat, if one goes, you can assume that others would go as well, word spreads in circles and that gym, I don’t think they had many circles.
Sitting at the bar, I ordered a beer and a burger, its was lunch and expenses always come first. The bartender was nice enough, in fact he looked familiar but not the instant recall that I like, he just had that, I know you don’t I look that makes it difficult to figure out a way to approach him, but I had to get something, even I can’t claim expenses if I didn’t actually do some work, the issue was always how to broach the subject.
Sports the great ice breaker, I asked if he could switch over, there was a game on that I wanted to see the score of, and I really wasn’t happy watching the same 30 minute sports news cast over and over again.
He did, reluctantly because it was a “New York” game and if you ever want to piss of a Boston boy, watch a New York game, but it had the effect that I needed and he started to ask me questions, and once you get someone talking then, you can get the information you need.
Yeah, I am new here I said, a friend of mine told me about this place I was hoping she was here, tall girl, and I dropped the name.
Oh yeah, I know her, she comes in with some of the guys from the gym up the road, I haven’t seen her for a few days, do you have her number give her a call, I tapped a few pockets and made like I couldn’t find my bit of paper and that was all it took.
Here, I have her number on my phone, and he showed me the screen, and it was my clients number next to her name and a little note, bunny. Never show someone your contacts, you never know what they might actually be looking for, but this was the sort of thing I was looking for.
She had told me a great deal, but she hadn’t mentioned this play, nor the fact someone might call her bunny, and considering her size, Bunny, well it made you laugh.

The Choir had another wonderful opportunity to perform on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th December
The Choir had another wonderful opportunity to perform on Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th December – this time they ventured to the cathedral in Old Portsmouth to be a part of the inclusive Special Christmas Celebration organised by Portsmouth Music Hub involving 200 children from across the city.
All 27 Cliffdale Choir pupils helped to tell the traditional Christmas tale with a production of ‘Noisy Nativity’ by singing, signing, ringing handchimes, playing musical percussion instruments, acting and dancing. Cliffdale pupils worked extremely hard in both rehearsals at school as well as in the final performance at the cathedral.
A short film including Cliffdale pupils about the performance can be seen at:

Carpet manufacturer Desso has introduced a new type of carpet specially developed to improve the air quality inside buildings. The indoor air quality is often far from ideal, mostly because of the high concentrations of fine dust and particulate matter. This can lead to health problems. The Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science already announced an emergency measure in January to improve the indoor air quality at schools.
The new type of carpet, called AirMaster®, is eight times more effective in trapping particulate matter than hard floors and four times more effective than a standard carpet. This was the conclusion of a study conducted by the independent German testing institute GUI*. AirMaster® guarantees a significant improvement of the indoor climate and reduces the risk of health-related problems.
AirMaster® was developed over the past year and has undergone extensive testing by the independent German testing institute GUI. The study showed that the patented technology of AirMaster® is eight times more effective in trapping particulate matter than hard floors and four times more effective than a standard carpet. This makes Desso the world's only manufacturer to offer a product certified with the GUI's golden logo, which means that the carpet is 80% more effective than hard floors when it comes to trapping particulate matter.
"The carpet significantly reduces the amount of dust and particulate matter that float around indoors. The World Health Organization** has warned that it is particularly hazardous to inhale particulate matter," according to Desso Chief Commercial Officer Alexander Collot d'Escury. "Miniscule dust particles end up in the lungs, the smallest particles even in the blood stream, and this could have serious consequences for human health." It has also emerged from a study published by the University of Utrecht*** that particulate matter can cause asthma in children.
A healthy indoor climate is currently high on the political agenda, as is evident from the announcement of an emergency measure in January by State Secretary Dijksma (Education, Culture and Science) to improve the indoor air quality at schools. This came in response to a study by the Municipal Health Service (GGD) which showed that the indoor climate at schools is far below standard.
Active policy against poor air quality
A healthy air quality inside buildings is essential, as most people spend most of the day indoors. In fact, people with a full-time office job spend 1,880 hours a year on average inside their office. The German asthma foundation DAAB has for some time been pointing out that the harmful effects of particulate matter are greatly reduced if carpeting is chosen as indoor floor covering instead of hard floor covering. This spring the Dutch asthma foundation launched the campaign "Polluted air ruins the lungs" to encourage municipalities to pursue a more active policy against poor air quality, which is partly due to high concentrations of particulate matter. According to the asthma foundation, the campaign was prompted in part by the fact that the Netherlands has for some time now been violating the European standards for particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide in particular.
* GUI is an independent German testing institute that
specialises in analysing indoor and outdoor air quality and
conducting studies at the request of parties such as the German
Allergy and Asthma Association (DAAB). GUI carried out a study to
compare AirMaster® with a standard PVC hard floor and a
standard structured loop-pile carpet. The test used particulate
matter with an aerodynamic diameter of 10μm (PM10 and

Because: Saturday Morning Cartoons
The art of the Black Panthers constantly receives attention for very good reason. Whether you look at it as activism or propaganda, it is undeniable that it is very well done messaging through art. It's also work that served a wide audience from kids to adults and across the country, and the world. This brief documentary features the artist, Black Panther Minster of Culture: Emory Douglas, discussing the artwork he produced fro the Black Panther Party and the culture that informed his work.
Seriously, it's less than 10 minutes. And in this day and age of horrible Saturday morning programming, it features some of the best cartoons (graphic art) you have seen for a while. And yes, as noted elsewhere, this quote is the kicker: "Art has relevancy. Whether it’s to exploit you or pacify you, or enlighten and inform you, it's a language. That's the power of it."

The postponed Premier League game between Manchester City and West Ham United that fell foul of Storm Ciara over the weekend has been rearranged for Wednesday 19 February.
The wind and rain wreaked havoc up and down the UK over the weekend and the decision was taken to postpone the fixture amid severe weather warnings and danger to home and away fans.
It was previously reported that City and West Ham had both refused to play the game this coming weekend in order to avoid compromising their winter breaks.
The game will now be a midweek fixture and West Ham have confirmed that the club will be providing its supporters with free return coach travel to and from Manchester.
Sheffield United’s game against Bournemouth on the same day went ahead, but all six Women’s Super League fixtures, including a Merseyside derby at Goodison Park where 20,000 were expected, a north London derby and a clash between Manchester United and Chelsea were called off. Rugby fixtures and horse racing meetings were also postponed or abandoned.
The reigning champions have lost as many games already this campaign as the two previous seasons combined and Liverpool have opened the biggest ever lead in English top flight history.
“The Premier League has been a huge disappointment to be so far from Liverpool and now we have to fight for the second position,” Bernardo Silva said.
The Hammers, meanwhile, are in a precarious position at the other end of the Premier League table, currently sitting in the relegation zone one point adrift of safety and win-less in the league since New Year’s Day.
Alarmingly, the club’s most recent accounts warned of dire consequences in the event of relegation from the Championship, with West Ham’s financial wellbeing dependent on maintaining their Premier League status.

At Serviselect, we offer our clients the service of People Development and groups within their business organizations to realize that, beyond their products or services, the real difference is the people that make up their team.
Since the global financial crisis of 2008, the new way of managing companies and businesses has changed. Currently, companies are subject to extreme market competitiveness in a global VUCA* (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) environment. This makes the contribution of all the people in the company, their commitment, and their alignment with its purpose more and more important.
In any case, we will develop a project with “ad hoc” methodology for each company and each case.

|Gent introduced Response Paging System, Response Link and Response Plus|
Gent by Honeywell continues to strengthen its extensive portfolio of innovative technology by launching its first range of paging systems.
The Response Paging System offers the latest innovations in wireless paging and monitoring. It’s a cost effective and flexible system that offers the ability to quickly respond to activated alarms.
The solution consists of a wall mounted transmitter and antennae that can send programmable messages to designated pagers that are powerful enough to cover large areas.
The Response Paging System was designed to meet the various needs of those requiring a paging system. It comes in three variants giving the customer the flexibility to choose the ideal system according to the building’s requirements.
The Response Link is an entry level option that features all the essential paging capabilities providing basic information of an incident. The system is particularly ideal for smaller sites featuring a 500 mW transmitter and four clean contact alarm outputs.
The Response Plus system has a wide range of applications that will fit all types of industries requiring a paging network. It features four clean contacts but also has a serial input/output that will display messages appearing on the front of Gent fire panels that have a serial output. The standard 4 Watt transmitter is powerful enough to cover large areas meaning install costs can be reduced by limiting the amount of additional transmitters needed across a large site.
Equality Act 2010 recommendations require all UK employers to make a provision for disabled staff and customers in the area of fire safety. Paging is a popular device that supports deaf and hard of hearing people in case of a fire emergency. Gent’s Response Aid paging system is used in hotels, universities and retail stores to support the deaf and hard of hearing in case of a fire emergency.
The device is set to Equality Act 2010 recommendations and complies with BS5839 recommendations. The system sends a strong vibration to every pager together with a text message alerting the user of a fire evacuation.

Pepper is a spice, but can it also be a name?
Thanks to Deka for suggesting our Baby Name of the Day.
Pepper is perfectly edible, a name that fits with Olive and Clementine.
The spice takes its name from the Greek peperi, which comes from Sanskrit, or maybe an older language. Peperi became piper in Latin, and eventually the English word we know today.
It’s been applied to the vegetable since at least the 1500s. All spicy foods were assumed to be related, and so the spice and the veggie came to share a name – even though that’s all they have in common.
Pepper: Boy Name
In 1937, five boys were given the name – the first year it registered on Social Security Administration lists.
If you saw 2015’s Little Boy, set during World War II, it included a 7 year old boy by the name, with an older brother called London. Both names are possible, if not likely.
But how did the name get its start? The Five Little Peppers is a children’s book series, first published in 1881. Dr. Pepper, the soft drink, was first served in 1885 – though it isn’t clear how the beverage acquired its name. There are tons of other uses: a professional baseball team in the 1910s, a card game, a 1936 movie with a female character by the name.
By the 1950s, it was in use in small numbers for boys and girls.
In 1963, Marvel Comics gave us Virginia Potts – nicknamed Pepper. She’s the capable assistant and sometimes love interest of Tony Stark – a.k.a. Iron Man. Eventually, Miss Potts becomes CEO of Stark Industries and a super hero, too.
Both happen in the current Avengers film series, with Gwyneth Paltrow playing the part.
The comic book character wasn’t enough to convince parents to give the name to their daughters.
Instead, it took a small screen police officer. Angie Dickinson starred in Police Woman on NBC from 1974 through 1978. She’s Sergeant Pepper – clever, right? – Anderson.
The police woman was part of an undercover squad, taking on all sorts of roles to make the arrest.
Leanne, Patricia, and Lisa were all as legal names for the character at different points.
But it was her nickname that was used 99% of the time, and in 1975 and 1976, more than 100 newborn girls were named Pepper, too.
In 1977, there came yet another reason to see this as a possible girl’s name: Annie.
The comic strip turned hit Broadway musical gave the name to one of Annie’s fellow orphans, a bossy 12 year old girl. Pepper the orphan has appeared 1977 through the 2014 silver screen reboot starring Quvenzhané Wallis.
A handful of others have worn the name, including (male) musician Pepper J. Keenan. But this name has been trending female since Police Woman.
In 2013, 153 newborn girls were given the name, and in 2014, 157. That’s a huge rise – in 2008, there were a mere 30 newborn girls called Pepper.
It’s tempting to credit a mix of Annie and Iron Man for the name’s success, but I suspect it has more to do with the meteoric rise of Harper and Piper.
Worried that the name is too cute? It could be short for many a longer name, including the ever so stylish Penelope.
Odds are that we’ll hear more of this name in the next few years, though it’s hard to say if Pepper can join Olive in the Top 1000, or if it will stay on the fringes.
What do you think of Pepper? Does it work as a given name, or is it more of a nickname?

A: Don’t believe everything you see on T.V. or the internet (except for this site, of course!) Israeli security is top knotch, and you will see it from the moment your flight begins its approach into Tel Aviv, through the streets of the Old City of Jerusalem, and everywhere in between. They have mastered making its citizens and visitors alike feel safe while not feeling like you are in a prison. You are more likely to experience harm in a medium-sized city in the U.S. than in Israel.
A: Simple: take their initial offer, divide it by 4, and make that your counter-offer. If you negotiate up to half of the original price, you’re generally doing O.K. Don’t pay more than half of what the original offer was, and be prepared to walk away! They will try to put something in your hands & let you feel like you’ve taken ownership of something…don’t fall for it!
A: Tours in Israel can be grueling affairs. It can be hot; there is a lot of inclines and declines; the days can be long. Be prepared for a lot of walking, and always remember to stay hydrated. If you are not regularly exercising, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to at least start walking regularly several weeks before your trip!
A: In most cases, yes. Most restaurants and many shops accept Visa, MasterCard, and some even accept American Express. Just be sure that your credit card doesn’t charge a foreign transaction fee! There are plenty of ATM’s around, both privately-owned and bank-affiliated.
A: Shabbat falls from sundown on Friday evening until sundown on Saturday evening. Almost all public transportation ceases, many stores will close, and depending on where you are, it will be very quiet. Some restaurants will remain open, and there are taxis still taking customers.
A: You should check with your local carrier to see if your phone is unlocked; if so, you could purchase a local SIM card and use your phone in Israel. Many carriers also have international plans if you are interested. My recommendation? Download an app called “WhatsApp”. Each hotel should have free wifi, at least in the lobby; many cities (like Tel Aviv and parts of Jerusalem) have free public wifi; the tour bus will have free wifi. Using WhatsApp, you can call (audio and/or video) and chat with family and friends around the world that have the app. Plus, it’s an Israeli app!

Nettle has been used since ancient times for its medical purposes, so you can safely include it in spring therapeutic problems, when the body responds quickly to natural treatments. You should know that not only the nettle tea is beneficial to the body, but also nettle tincture – a hydroalcoholic solution obtained through cold preparation from the aerial parts of the plant, that is, stem and leaves.
Using nettle tincture to get rid of hair loss it’s the best choice you can make. This remedy has beneficial effects over your scalp, being great in coping with other scalp problems such as scalp irritation and scalp psoriasis.
How to prepare nettle tincture:
- a handful of fresh nettle leaves
- alcohol (vodka or homemade brandy)
Just put the nettle leaves in a jar with lid and pour over them alcohol, enough to cover the leaves. Leave the leaves to macerate for 15 days, and during this time shake the jar 2 times a day.
Then strain the liquid and store it in dark bottles in a cold place, such as the pantry.
How to use:
After washing your hair with your usual shampoo, pour 15 drops of nettle tincture in the rinsing water, and rinse your hair with it. Or you can massage the scalp with this tincture, let it act for 30 minutes, and then wash your hair as usual.
External use: dissolve 15 drops of nettle tincture in a glass of water or tea and drink it daily for 10 days in a row.

I am a belt and suspenders kind of guy when it comes to certain things. Home defense is one of them. Because of that, I like several options sitting by the bedside for dealing with social work, like evicting home invaders. There is a gear tree that sits 3 feet away from my nightstand that holds my 3-gun belt, my plate carrier, and two long guns. One of those guns is an AR-15, and that is what we will focus on today.
The specific AR sitting in that gear tree has morphed several times as my relationship, my equipment options, and my housing situations have changed.
When my wife was alive, she had a Kel-Tec KSG loaded with one tube of Aguila mini (slugs). The chamber was loaded with the mini buckshot round. However, if needed, she could flip over to slugs at any time. This complemented the 5.5” barrel Smith and Wesson .357 N frame on her side of the bed.
I had a classic carbine AR-15 along with my Glock 17, carry pistol. The only real difference about my AR set up, was the choosing cartridges with 77-grain bullets, instead of the 55-grain feedings most people use.
The 77-grain OTM bullets were an attempt to reduce over penetration issues. My theory was that a heavier, slower bullet designed to “fragment” had less chance of penetrating/ricocheting through walls with enough force to kill one of the teenagers; yet, it would do more damage to the goblin.
It was certainly a better choice than 55-grain FMJ and my testing in a pork butt showed a much larger wound cavity and better bone penetration than 55-grain soft points.
After her passing, I no longer had to be the point guy, while she secured the rear and the kids. The kids were of age and had recently moved out, so the Kel-Tec moved into my gear tree and the AR switched to a 9.5-inch barrel 9mm that feeds from Glock mags.
The gun is in a pistol configuration and having magazine compatibility with my carry gun made a lot of sense. I figured compatibility and the extra velocity of a longer 9mm barrel certainly couldn’t be bad.
About a year after moving to Tennessee, I purchased a new AR Pistol in 300 BLK. This took over the AR slot for unwanted varmint eviction. The gun also has a 9.5-inch barrel and sports a Silencerco Omega suppressor. I run 190-grain solid copper bullets from Maker Bullets that are designed to peel back into 3 prongs.
In pork butt testing they opened to between .650” to .850”. Every bullet opened properly, but those that hit bone tended to spread more as one or more prongs flattened more than those of bullets that only hit meat.
This gun and caliber are what I will be kept by my bedside for quite some time. In suppressed form, the sound level is loud conversational without hearing protection in an enclosed space. Without the suppressor, it is still a lot less loud than my carry pistol.
This is one thing that none of the other choices offered. I did toy with running the Omega on the 5.56 carbine, but it made for a very long rifle. The effective barrel length was over 24 inches. My .300 BLK with the 9.5-inch barrel and the suppressor has a barrel length of 17.5 inches. This makes it quite useful indoors, and in the configuration I use, it helps with the balance.
In addition to the can, my setup includes a Gear Head Works Tailhook mod 1 brace and a BAD lever, so it is very simple to run with one hand. This leaves the other hand available for doors, working a flashlight or managing a phone call to 911.
I strongly suggest the Tailhook, in either Mod 1 or Mod 2 configurations to make any home defense AR pistol more useful, and I strongly suggest a .300 BLK with defense-minded subsonic ammunition. If possible, the package is completed with a .30 caliber suppressor.
Even if you don’t have, or can’t justify buying the suppressor, the subsonic .300 BLK is much less punishing to the ears than most any other effective man stopper round.

I know, I've been sleeping on this... in my defense I've ordered it twice from my on-line store, and both times it got lost in the mail! It has to be one of the most expensive albums I've bought lately. Enough about that - I just loved that first [re:jazz] album, and the whole idea behind the project. That first project featured acoustic jazz interpretations of electronic music, that have appeared on the INFRACom label within the last ten years. It was, IMO, a double success: the original selection was very strong and all songs were justly interpreted.
This album is, of course, a remix album. The acoustic jazz compositions of the first album have now been translated back into electronica. It is confusing, is this still jazz, or are we now back to the original songs that formed the base for the [re:jazz] project? It's a bit like using babelfish to translate a sentence back and forth a couple of times, while observing the generation of new meaning (or distortion) to the text. "Jazz not jazz" as INFRACom calls it.
Strange album ideas aside, this is a good album. Many of our acidjazz heros take the originals a lot further. The range is broad, from dub to straight up electronica. Fantastic remix work by my long time favourite Jazztronik!

Or an oxidized one. Really it’s anyone’s guess at this point, how the face will look after a few more years.
Six years ago I was a fresh faced ogre and today I look like a worse for wear hipster. And I don’t quite know what I feel about either state. All I know is that I feel more and more comfortable in my own skin with each passing year. I never liked being young, and I suppose the classic G. B. Shaw quote is right about me: “Youth is wasted on the young”. It is and it was.
I spent most of my youth with severe and untreated panic attacks. I was paralyzed from fear and OCD. I had so much trouble just getting up out of bed that making it anywhere seemed impossible. I made it to a lot of places but in some kind if state. I was never happy, and I can’t say that I am now either. I’m not unhappy, far from it, I’m just not ‘happy’. Maybe the joy I feel is happiness but I just have a strange image in my head of what I think it should be and what I am is just not there.
I have massive amounts of anxiety, I can’t follow through with plans to save my life, I don’t know how to say no and I hate being in public so much it makes me sweat. It’s funny because I like people watching but preferably from a distance. I’m socially awkward and don’t have any particular interests or hobbies.
But I am a good mom. And that makes me proud of myself. I’m an absolute mess as a person and as a human being but as a mom I feel completely comfortable. I love that little boy more than life itself, much like most parents, but it’s due to him that I can feel some pride in me. And him, I am exceptionally proud of him. And I love him beyond anything. So much so that his father got agitated and spewed “You love him more than I have ever seen anyone love anyone else, ever!” As if to insult me.
But I am slowly embarking on a journey to get out of this hellish nightmare I keep living inside of my head. I am writing down the many things that need to change for my wellbeing to improve. I need to stop lying to myself and to others and admit that I don’t feel too confident about the future nor the present. And as for the past, I’m closing the books on that mess for good.
Wish me luck!

The Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq coalition (RSII coalition), also referred to as 4+1 (in which the "plus one" refers to Hezbollah of Lebanon), is a joint intelligence-sharing cooperation between opponents of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) with operation rooms in Syria's Damascus and Iraq's Green Zone in Baghdad. It was formed as a consequence of an agreement reached at the end of September 2015 between Russia, Iran, Iraq and Syria to "help and cooperate in collecting information about the terrorist Daesh group" (ISIL) with a view to combatting the advances of the group, according to the statement issued by the Iraqi Joint Operations Command. The statement also cited "the increasing concern from Russia about thousands of Russian terrorists committing criminal acts within ISIS."
In October 2015, it was suggested that the Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq coalition may have been devised during the visit by Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Quds Force, to Moscow in July 2015. During the early days of the operation, the Russian Air Force were backed by the Syrian Armed Forces, Army of the Guardians of the Islamic Revolution, and allied militias. The United States, along with its NATO and Arab allies, have criticized this coalition; most airstrikes during the first week of the campaign, they say, struck areas held by rebel groups opposed to both the Syrian government and ISIL.
Russia and Iran
For two and a half decades, the Russian elite were split on Iran. Some, like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, saw Iran as a bargaining chip in possible deals with the Western world. On the other hand, Eurasianists like Aleksandr Dugin wanted a Russo-Iranian alliance to counter Western influence.
Syrian Civil War
Syria's civil war started when opposing groups in the country protested against Assad's rule in early 2011, the protests ultimately turning violent and drawing-in regional opponents and supporters of Assad. The war is being conducted between numerous opponents and government parties. More than 250,000 people have been killed and more than 10 million displaced. With most opponents, and their western allies, demanding Assad's leaving as a Prerequisite for talks, efforts to find a solution have failed thus far. Recently Western countries have said Assad could play some role in a transition. Regarding the transitional period Assad has asserted that it was not western countries' job to decide on Syria's future. He has accused the US and its allies of hypocrisy for their support for insurgents, saying that air raids by Syrian jets, now combined by Russia, have been far more productive than anything performed by the year-long air operations by the US-led coalition. According to Assad the countries involved in Us-led coalition, themselves support terrorism, thus they cannot fight terrorism. That is why, he says, several months of fighting against terrorism, has resulted in spreading it.
After the loss of Idlib province to a rebel offensive in the first half of 2015, the situation was judged to have become critical for Assad's survival. High level talks were held between Moscow and Tehran in the first half of 2015 and a political agreement was achieved. In October 2015, it was suggested that the Russian operation in Syria may have been devised during the visit by Qasem Soleimani, commander of the Iranian Quds Force, to Moscow in July 2015, which was then denied by Russian officials. Responding to an official request by Syrian government, in September 2015, Russia sent its warplanes and other military hardware and combat troops to Bassel Al-Assad International Airport near Latakia to be ready for their operation. In 2016, Russia declared it would send humanitarian aid to Aleppo with the help of the Syrian Government. Russia also claimed that it would allow civilians to leave the city, and urged the Syrian Government to offer the chance for militants to surrender.
At the end of September 2015, a joint information centre in Baghdad was set up by Iran, Iraq, Russia and Syria to coordinate their operations against ISIL. According to Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov′s statement made in mid-October 2015, prior to the start of its operations in Syria, Russia invited the U.S. to join the Baghdad-based information center but received what he called an "unconstructive" response. Putin′s proposal that the U.S. receive a high-level Russian delegation and that a U.S. delegation arrive in Moscow to discuss co-operation in Syria was likewise declined by the U.S. Following an official request from the Syrian government for martial help against rebel and jihadist groups in Syria, the coalition started its work. It was generally thought that Iran would play a leading role in the ground operations of Syria's army and allies, whilst Russia would be leading in the air in conjunction with the Syrian air force, thereby establishing a complementary role. For Western countries and the Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq coalition ISIS has been a common enemy, although each country has very different friends and opposing views of how to solve the crisis.
In an interview with Iranian TV, Assad said that the success of this agreement was vital to save the Middle East from destruction. He said that the year-long air campaign by US-led coalition had been counterproductive and had helped terrorism to spread and win new recruits, but that the new coalition of Russia, Syria, Iran, and Iraq, could achieve real results.
Other than being a crucial thoroughfare to Hezbollah in Lebanon, Syria has been the only consistent ally for Iran since the 1979 Islamic revolution in Iran. Iran has provided significant support for the Syrian Government in the Syrian Civil War, including logistical, technical and financial support. In April 2014, Hossein Amir-Abdolahian, the Iranian deputy foreign minister, said: "We aren’t seeking to have Bashar Assad remain president for life. But we do not subscribe to the idea of using extremist forces and terrorism to topple Assad and the Syrian government." On 24 July General Qasem Soleimani visited Moscow to devise the details of the plan for coordinated military action in Syria. In October 2015, it was suggested that the Russia–Syria–Iran–Iraq coalition may have been devised during his visit.
Citing two Lebanese sources, Reuters reported on October 1, 2015 that hundreds of Iranian troops arrived in Syria over the previous 10 days and would soon join Syrian government forces and their Lebanese Hezbollah allies in a major ground offensive backed by Russian air strikes. Iran has also been training Iraqi Shia militias who are fighting ISIS.

As we come closer to the end of 2013, sites are releasing their obligatory "best of" lists. Here are a few of our favorites, for your inspiration…
First off, Tumblr's Year in Review is well worth checking out. Tumblr is a hip, funky, user-friendly and lightweight blogging platform that excels at imagery and attitude. Here's a bit about the "best of" list they're producing:
The retrospective starts Tuesday at http://YearinReview.tumblr.com with an exploration of 20 categories ranging from the most popular musical groups to the most interesting architecture of 2013. Boasting a plethora of images, the review will continue through December with daily posts that will culminate on New Year's Eve with the best fireworks displays featured on Tumblr during the year.
Our take-aways for the Jewish communal set?
- Scan the most-reblogged posts and people. What can you learn? What do these posts have in common? What kinds of images, what types of language, etc., really work?
- Are you using Tumblr? It's a great place to connect with teens. Tumblr is also flexible enough to be used to produce a full website, or can easily pop up for the sake of a single event, conference, or trip.
- Are there ways for you to capitalize on what Tumblr thinks is hip? What kind of connections can you make between "trending topics" and your work to help get the word out about your organization or cause?
And up next: we normally wouldn't re-post something from Buzzfeed, the site we all waste time on and love to hate/hate to love, but this one seemed especially apropos: the 21 Most Creative Instagram Accounts of 2013. Honestly, this post is not really about the photo-sharing service Instagram, or even about photos, but about the role of surprise and delight. Take a look at these accounts, what do they have in common? To us, they both surprise and delight their viewers. How can our social spaces do the same for our communities?
…and we'll close with some good ol' nonprofit video. Enjoy the winners of the 2013 DoGooder Awards!
What have been your web favorites lately? Share in the comments, or send them to Miriam directly, and they could be featured here next time!

U.S. market indexes reported losses Tuesday as manufacturing data from China combined with weak manufacturing output in the U.S. increased worries over global growth. Currencies also traded with greater volatility Tuesday after the Australian central bank reported a decrease in rates. For the day the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 17,750.91 for a loss of -140.25 points or -0.78 percent. The S&P 500 closed at 2,063.37 for a loss of -0.87 percent or -18.06 points.
China’s Caixin manufacturing PMI was the leading report that had the greatest affect on markets for the day. The Caixin PMI reported an Index level of 49.4 for April and was down from 49.7 in March, falling below consensus of 49.9. An Index level below 50 is significant since it usually signifies a contraction. China’s report added greater worries in the U.S. which also saw declines in manufacturing output Monday following a weak GDP report. Last week the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported GDP growth of 0.5 percent for the first quarter. Economic indicators reported on Monday showed further slowing which became more of a factor Tuesday. On Monday the PMI Manufacturing Index, ISM Manufacturing Index and construction spending all reported disappointing output. The PMI Manufacturing Index was at a level of 50.8 in April and consensus was 51.0. The ISM Manufacturing Index level for April was 50.8, below consensus of 51.5. Construction spending for March increased 0.3 percent versus an expected 0.5 percent.
Preliminary auto sales began their release on Tuesday with domestic sales seeming to increase for the month of April. Preliminary reports showed domestic auto sales at an annualized rate of 13.5 million, up from 13.3 million in March. GM (GM) and Ford (F) led sales with GM reporting a gain of 3.5 percent from the comparable month. Ford’s sales were up 3.6 percent. Both stocks reported stock price losses for the day with GM closing at $31.25 for a loss of -0.50 points or -1.57 percent and Ford closed at $13.43 for a loss of -0.19 points or -1.40 percent.
Daily Market Movers
In the Dow Jones Industrial Average, large-cap stock Pfizer (PFE) reported earnings. Pfizer reported strong results beating analysts’ revenue and earnings expectations. Revenue for the first quarter was $13 billion, beating analysts’ estimates by $1 billion and gaining 19.7 percent from the comparable quarter. EPS was $0.67, beating analysts’ estimates by $0.12.
Pfizer led DJIA gains Tuesday with a stock price increase of 2.84 percent. Apple (AAPL) recovered from some of its post-earnings losses to gain 1.63 percent for the day. UnitedHealth (UNH) was also higher for the day, up 0.29 percent. Losses were led by United Technologies (UTX), JPMorgan Chase (JPM) and Cisco (CSCO). All sectors were lower Tuesday led by energy, materials and financial services.
Dow Jones Industrial Average Tuesday. Google Finance.
The Nasdaq Composite closed lower for the day on Tuesday at 4,763.22 for a loss of -1.13 percent. Apple was a technology leader in trading for the day after Apple’s Tim Cook discussed his outlook for the company in a CNBC interview Tuesday with Jim Cramer of Mad Money.
In small-caps, the Russell 2000 followed the day’s trend lower closing at 1,122.08 for a loss of -18.84 points or -1.65 percent. Other small-cap indexes were also lower. The S&P 600 closed at 690.09 for a loss of -9.94 points or -1.42 percent. The Dow Jones Small-Cap Growth TSM Index closed at 6,892.77 for a loss of -119.35 points or -1.70 percent. The Dow Jones Small-Cap Value TSM closed at 8,127.13 for a loss of -118.80 points or -1.44 percent.
Other Notable Indexes
Other notable index closes included the S&P 400 Mid-Cap Index which closed at 1,454.30 for a loss of -19.36 points or -1.31 percent; the Russell 3000 which closed at 1,214.81 for a loss of -12.13 points or -0.99 percent; and the Dow Jones U.S. Select Dividend Index which closed at 586.11 for a loss of -5.06 points or -0.86 percent.

Usability: Teachers often feel that the disorganization of some of the students within the class holds back their progress and there is a need for them to plan their school work more effectively and also keep the entire day’s activities organized. To address to this need, the School App was created which allows students to utilize the technology that they use the most and bring to class.
This application is a modern twist to the traditional school homework diary. It can be used by all students as it is available on diverse platforms. Students can use it to record, monitor and track their homework and assignments. They are sent automatic reminders to remind them about the homework that is due. They can view their school timetable, important school documents, news items, videos and calendar events on this app. Teachers can send unlimited messages directly to students’ mobile phones. The School App is unique and can be customized to each individual school to suit their particular needs.
Walkthrough: There are three different types of accounts within the School App system namely, Administrator, Teacher and Student.
Schools are provided with one Administrator account, which they can use to access the system’s Admin panel and create as many other accounts as needed. The administrator can create more accounts of any of the three kinds, create groups and assign them to students, add/edit school subjects, create/modify timetable, upload Word, PDF docs, new articles, videos to the app, send messages to individual students or groups, modify the navigation bar, color scheme, school logo and homepage text on the app.
Teacher accounts are used by teachers to use the app’s features without modifying anything. Teachers can send messages to individual students or groups and upload Word, PDF docs, new articles and videos to the app.

Student accounts are required for students to login to the app. Each student of the school is issued a username and password. These are created by administrators either individually or in bulk. Students can access all three app platforms (iOS, Android and Web). Once a student is logged into the app, they will see a Homepage which contains the school logo and short description. A student can go to the Homework screen by using the Homework tab in the navigation bar at the bottom of the app, here they can record and manage their homework and assignments. The Timetable area can be accessed by using the Timetable tab which allows students to view/edit their school timetable. Students can receive messages sent by administrators or teachers which are displayed in the Messages page, which is accessed by using the Messages tab. The most recent message is displayed at the top and when a new message is received the student will receive a push notification. Lastly, the Information area can be accessed using the Information tab. It allows students to view important school information in different sections namely, News, Documents, Calendar and Videos.
The School App has many features such as, it is customized to each school and is designed using your school’s color scheme, name and logo. It displays the school’s information and policies and meets your schools requirements; the Timetable section where students can view their school timetable; the Homework section where students can enter details about their homework and assignments; the Diary section which records school’s key dates, it can be personalized by each student; the Messaging section where messages can be sent to students and alumni; and the Information section reflecting all important school information.
Prices: £2.29 per Student account per year.
Our Review: The School App replaces the traditional paper planners and allows students to use the technology on their phones, tablets or laptops to organize their studies. The main benefits of the app are that it reduces costs since it is less expensive than the traditional school planners, improves student engagement and organization, can be used by all students in your school due to its availability on various platforms, improves communication between school and students as messages can be directly sent to the devices of students and provides a fully synchronized Diary, Homework and Timetable.
The Web version of the app is also available so that students without a phone can access the full range of features from any computer connected to the Internet. Its service includes continuous use of the app with unlimited free messages, diary additions, all add updates and comprehensive support. The Alumni option allows schools to easily stay in contact with students who have passed out. The students have access to an up-to-date school diary with automatic reminders of upcoming events.
It was created to engage students with planning their school work more effectively, by utilizing their mobile phones. Go ahead and improve your school image by embracing this latest technology of a student planner app for your schools.

I'm stil wondering what TW and HAWKS are going to do once Love is gone.
I guess there not going to fight for it if Hawks and TW alliance is that strong so im guessing the Hawks and TW will cast aside the lower ranked and less active players and merge to give the Hawks the win. I guess a wins a win how ever it comes to the Hawks :icon_rolleyes:I'm stil wondering what TW and HAWKS are going to do once Love is gone.
Ha, you didn't sound like that when you left Legion wanting to join us :icon_rolleyes:I guess there not going to fight for it if Hawks and TW alliance is that strong so im guessing the Hawks and TW will cast aside the lower ranked and less active players and merge to give the Hawks the win. I guess a wins a win how ever it comes to the Hawks :icon_rolleyes:
To start with im not the first person to say this there is one other thread and other players that suggest the same thing.Ha, you didn't sound like that when you left Legion wanting to join us :icon_rolleyes:
are there a fair amount of players who haven't been helping out in the war? it seems like you guys had a pretty strong participation in attacks.
Just attack love
Depends on why they are lower in points. Morale bashers come to mind.There are many reasons why players are inactive or do not participate as much as someone like yourself Richard atleast your upfront about where you stand im sure if i was a Hawk or a TW player with less activity i would be worried weather or not i could be dumped from the tribe, it stands to reason many of the lower point players arent as safe as say some of the leaders in the Hawks and TW
Do it!!!well if thats so Richard, then I would end up with atleast 1 village in each K... and most likely many more per K and would reach GAs goal he has set for me :icon_razz:
LH isn't the only leader, so no one expects him to do all of the work :icon_rolleyes:Well come on now if activity and active involvement in the Hawks is a reason for keeping a player in the Hawks or even keeping his leadership rank surely Lord Hawk should be demoted then as his activity isnt exactly high compared to what it once was.
As for being a morale basher surely with Legion gone now and love a shadow of Legion former glory those bashers should be going after a few of there own villages. I still wonder if you have so many bashers in TW and the Hawks how are you going to accommodate them into the one tribe how do you pick a active basher over another active basher.
Still dont worry to much all you little guys in the Hawks and TW the leaders of TW and the Hawks will have a plan :icon_wink:
I know LH isn't the only leader i know he wouldn't do all the work i have a lot of respect for LH gained from previous conversations in the past i have had with him i simply pointed out his impact within the tribe at this point isn't what it once was simply put if he wasn't a leader how would he be treated a lot differently id expectLH isn't the only leader, so no one expects him to do all of the work :icon_rolleyes:
What is the point of them getting more villages? Doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of being a basher?
I am not speaking about TW, I am speaking about lower point players in Hawks. You seem to neglect the fact the world isn't going to end tomorrow, next week or next month, and players are always going inactive.
But keep trying what you are attempting here, I'm sure plenty of players read the world 33 forum :icon_wink:

Top Factors to Consider When Buying Freon
When contacting a distributor, there are several important details that you should know in advance. The top factors to consider when buying refrigerant from a distributor include:
- The type of refrigerant
- The amount that you need
- The time of the year
Before exploring these details, you should understand that Freon is a brand name. Kleenex is synonymous with tissue paper as Freon is synonymous with refrigerant.
The Freon name was created for the first refrigerant manufactured and sold by the DuPont company. The R-12 refrigerant was the most-used refrigerant until it was replaced by R-22. Both products remained popular until they were found to be unsafe.
While the Freon brand is no longer used, people still refer to refrigerant as Freon. The two names are used interchangeably. Most distributors should know that you mean refrigerant when you say Freon.
What Type of Refrigerant Should You Get?
Before ordering refrigerant from a distributor, you should determine if you require R-410A or R-22. Since 2010, the most used refrigerant is R-410A. It is the direct successor to R-22 after R-12 and R-22 were deemed unsafe by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). However, if the AC systems that you are servicing were made before 2010, they may use R-22.
While air conditioners stopped using R-22 in 2010, R-22 is still manufactured and sold in the United States to service older units.
Keep in mind that these two types of refrigerant are not interchangeable. You cannot use R-410A in a unit that was made for R-22.
The main advantage of R-410A compared to R-22 is that it is more environmentally friendly. R-22 is known to contribute to ozone depletion. Due to the harmful characteristics of R-22, it is still being phased out. AC systems stopped using R-22 in 2010 and production of this Freon will stop by 2020.
How Much Freon Do You Need?
The next consideration is the amount of refrigerant that you need. If you are buying wholesale, you can use any of the distributors discussed. However, residential customers have limited options. Only a couple of the distributors sell individual one- to ten-pound cylinders.
Most refrigerant distributors tailor their services to commercial and industrial customers. The typical customers include small to large-sized HVAC companies, automotive shops, and dealerships. These customers often purchase one or more pallets of the refrigerant at a time.
When ordering pallets, you are more likely to find lower rates. With individual cylinders, distributors do not have the incentive to offer discounts. However, bulk ordering helps give the buyer more room to negotiate.
Along with the amount of refrigerant, you should consider how often you need deliveries. If you require a consistently scheduled delivery, distributors often offer lower rates.
Besides the price difference, there are additional differences between individual sales and wholesale buying. These differences include the need for certifications and the cost of shipping.
When ordering wholesale, buyers need to have the necessary EPA-approved certification. If you are ordering refrigerant for AC units, you will likely need the EPA 608 certification.
Shipping is another important consideration based on the amount of refrigerant that you require. When ordering a small volume of refrigerant, you will likely need to pay for shipping. This can increase the cost per pound for refrigerant.
Refrigerant distributors rarely cover the cost of shipping for residential customers and businesses ordering a limited quantity. If you want freight and shipping to be covered by the distributor, you may need to order several pallets. However, this does not always eliminate the shipping costs.
Some of the leading distributors do not cover freight unless you require a trailer of refrigerant. A trailer load typically contains 20 pallets of refrigerant. With each pallet containing 40 cylinders, you may need to order 800 cylinders, depending on the size of the cylinders.
What Is the Best Season for Buying Freon?
The time of the year that you buy refrigerant may affect the price. As with oil prices, the prices of refrigerant can vary throughout the year. While there are many factors that influence the current price, demand is the biggest consideration.
During the warmer months, AC systems receive more use and require more servicing. These issues increase the demand for the refrigerant for both home AC systems and industrial AC units. Due to the increased demand, the prices for R-410A and R-22 begin to increase rapidly.
Basically, if you wait until summer to order refrigerant, you are going to pay more. This applies to both residential and commercial customers.
The prices tend to peak during the warmest periods of the summer. Toward the end of July and the beginning of August, you will find the highest prices. As the temperatures cool in September, the demand and the prices start to decrease.
During the fall season, the refrigerant prices continue to drop, reaching a low point in the middle of winter. Typically, the cheapest prices for refrigerant are available in late December and early January.
The prices then begin to slowly increase through the end of winter and through the spring. Starting in February, you can expect a gradual rise in the average cost of refrigerant. In February, the major HVAC companies and suppliers begin ordering trailer loads of refrigerant to prepare for the summer.
The big orders placed by the biggest HVAC companies begin to decrease in late March. During the spring season, prices may stabilize. However, they will not reach the low point of the winter. In fact, within a couple of months, they will start to inch toward their peak price in the middle of summer.
Last Thoughts on Buying Refrigerant for AC Systems
If you work for an HVAC company or an industry that relies on industrial AC systems, you likely need regular deliveries of Freon. While you may have a local distributor or supplier that you can contact, the ten distributors listed offer the best rates for the highest-quality refrigerant.
Remember to consider the type and amount of refrigerant that you need before ordering. If you require multiple pallets, some distributors may be willing to negotiate a lower rate, especially if you need regular deliveries. However, the best cost savings come when you need a trailer load of refrigerant.
You should also consider ordering the bulk of your refrigerant during the winter. By reviewing your refrigerant orders through the year, you can estimate your needs for each quarter. Using these estimates, you can start ordering in the winter in anticipation of the busy summer season.

Survival Tip #274
Mistakes are often like a snowball rolling down hill. One becomes two, two becomes three, before you know it you’ve created an avalanche. We all make mistakes. We all will keep making mistakes. The trick is to minimize the amount of damage the snowball can do by catching your mistake and keeping it from compounding into more. Don’t let one mistake become two.

Keeping the kitchen clean is one of the most difficult riddles that very few people have solved until now. The secret of keeping your kitchens clean and hygienic is to pay attention at those corners that are not very prominent and easily skip from our mind. Before you get professional kitchen cleaning services Dubai, why not locate and clean these spots yourself? Below we’ve mentioned these tricky spots that many of us fail to locate when cleaning the kitchen and you end up finding improper kitchen cleaning results. So let’s get straight to the point and discuss the real culprits that make your kitchen dirty.
So you’re all set with those delicious dishes and desserts that you made for the guests? Or are you a fruit lover and try making different fruit based food items? Well whatever the case is, the refrigerator is your truest friend in the kitchen area to keep these items safe and eatable. But have you realized when you put or take something from your refrigerator, how many splashes and spillovers it has to bear to continue this friendship? This is your turn to do something for this special bond between you and your refrigerator. All you need to do is to clean off these stains from the shelves of your refrigerator and that’s it.
Whether you’re a foodie or don’t like to eat much but your kitchen sink is the only place where you dump every plate, glass and anything that’s been recently used. The sink is meant to clean these utensils but we, unintentionally, treat it as a bin by throwing all the used grocery carelessly in it. This careless behavior results in increased germs and bacteria lingering into your kitchen area even when you clean it on daily basis. So when you do the dishes after the breakfast, lunch or dinner also clean this area very thoroughly to prevent any dirt problem as it would reduce the chances of getting kitchen cleaning services in Dubai.
Racks & Drawers
Another mischievous spot that makes your kitchen unhygienic and dirty is none other than those racks that hold your upholstery when not in use. If you still doubt that your racks and drawers make your kitchen dirty then here’s a little explanation that might help you understand the mechanism. You put out some plates, glasses or any required utensil to make and eat your food right? After when you’re done eating, you rush to the sink and wash them off before placing them back in the drawer or the rack. If you miss to rinse the dampness from the utensil, it will gradually drip down to the surface and attract small dust particles. This process continues for weeks and ultimately become a big issue for your kitchen’s cleanliness.
The kitchen ducts are only visible threat when they are badly covered in smoke and dirt stains and before that, no one cares to look up there. They make passage for the smoke to keep the kitchen a breathable place while you stand in front of your stove and cook anything confidently. But if you really want to keep your kitchen clean, you need to check periodically your kitchen duct’s cleaning condition before it gets real dirty.

She also said she found Mr Abramovich “to be a truthful, and on the whole reliable, witness”.
Mr Berezovsky, who had told reporters before the verdict that: “I believe in the system”, afterwards said : “I am absolutely amazed by what’s happened today… particularly because Lady Gloster took the responsibility to rewrite Russian history.”
Abramovich was not in court for the ruling and is thought to be in Monte Carlo for Chelsea’s Super Cup Final on Friday night.
A statement issued on his behalf said: “There were many serious allegations made against Mr Abramovich by Mr Berezovsky, including attacks on Mr Abramovich’s honesty and integrity.
“We are pleased that the judge has firmly rejected all such allegations and has described Mr Abramovich as a truthful and frank witness who showed a responsible and honest approach when giving evidence in this case.”
When he gave evidence, Abramovich had said Mr Berezovsky was paid millions of pounds for his services as a “political godfather” but was not a business partner.
The court heard Berezovsky had “fled Russia, never to return” in 2000, after falling out with President Vladimir Putin.
Berezovsky told the court he was born in Moscow, studied mechanics and mathematics and worked as a designer for Russian state car maker AvtoVAZ in the 1970s, before going into business in the 1980s.
Berezovsky had claimed Abramovich was a “gangster”.
Abramovich responded by saying there were times when Berezovsky was “something of a megalomaniac”.

BSAD report: All in all, Saturday went well. The day started badly – I missed my bus to Watford, and so the first ten minutes of the match – but after that things looked up. A lot. By the time I arrived, as I say, things were already underway, and this meant that I didnšt know who was actually playing; this proved rather amusing when I praised a Devon White layoff aloud only to be told by the person next to me that it was actually a Gifton Noel-Williams layoff. He was very nice about it.

Meta House is a nationally-recognized treatment center that provides alcohol and other drug abuse treatment services designed specifically for women.
It was the firstresidential facility in the country designed specifically for women with substance use disorders, and has been providing very unique long-term gender-responsive treatment for 47 years. It was also one of the first in the nation to include children in their residential setting. As a 501(c)(3) public charity, or nonprofit organization, Meta House relies on public- and private sector support to fund their work.
Meta House has had much to celebrate over the last year;in particular, Meta House fulfilled a long-standing dream of relocating theiroutpatient, childcare, and administration facilities to the Riverwest neighborhood, adjacent totheir existing residential women and children’s program.
Meta House recently moved from a leased space on the Eastside, to a three-story, 34,000 sq. ft. parish school which they have renovatedinto a bright, spacious, inviting facility at 2625 N. Weil St. It is leasedfrom Our Lady of Divine Providence Church. The church continues to operate itsSaturday morning food pantry in the basement.
The new facilities in Riverwest will allow the non-profitto increase the number of women and children they serve. They now benefit froma campus-like setting, which will allow them to reduce operational costs overtime and share resources among the different programs.
Knowing that women are likely to have become addicted todrugs or alcohol in response to painful and traumatic life experiences, MetaHouse provides a holistic treatment program within a healing and understandingenvironment. The programs are designed with the recognition that motherhood isa highly important, valued role for women. They therefore offer comprehensiveservices to both women and their children to help repair and rebuild theserelationships. Knowing the significance of the role of motherhood and the manyother roles women play in society inspires their mission, philosophy, andtreatment of women in recovery.
Meta House offers a Residential Women and Children’s TreatmentProgram, Housing for the women and children who would otherwise be homeless,and an Outpatient program.
The Residential Women and Children’s TreatmentProgram offers 24-hour care for women and their children. The facility offerscomfortable communal living and an intensive, holistic treatment program. Thereare no strict time limits on the duration of their healing process. Each familyis treated individually.
Meta Housing is available for women inthe community who have completed a treatment program and are homeless. The MetaHouse Outpatient programs continue to provide supportive services for this facility, including ongoing casemanagement, counseling, recreational activities, parenting classes, literacy,youth groups, and job retention assistance. There are 28 furnishedapartments in 4 separate buildings which are located near 1st andLocust. This facility encourages women to become independent, strongwomen who are less likely to relapse, and overcome their addiction in a safe, drug-free,supportive living environment.
The Outpatient Services Programmakes up the third element of support that Meta House offers. This is availableto women who are able to maintain sobriety and attend treatment while remainingin their own homes or at Meta Housing.
Cost Savings andBenefits to the Community:
In the past 25 years, Meta House has savedthe Milwaukee community over $515 million in costs that would have likely beenincurred in the absence of treatment for services such as: emergency roomvisits, criminal justice activity, neo-natal intensive care and child welfareexpenses.
In 2009, Meta House served 298 women, 46 of whom were pregnant,and 326 children. Of residential clients, an impressive 81% completedtreatment, compared to the national average of just 39%. 12 months later, 84%were still abstinent from alcohol and drugs and 97% had no criminal justiceinvolvement. There were 26 babies born towomen during their stay at Meta House in 2009.
Each woman whocomes to Meta House requires treatment for Alcohol and/or Other Drug Abuse(AODA). A trained and qualified team of professionals implement Meta House’sAODA Services which are unique and effective because they are built upon theprinciples of gender-responsive treatment.
Theoverwhelming majority of women who are addicted to substances are survivors ofsexual, physical, and emotional abuse: at least 80% have suffered sexualabuse/incest, 88% physical abuse and 94% have suffered emotional abuse. Theimpact of this abuse leads many women to numb the pain by turning tosubstances. Finding themselves addicted to substances, women at Meta House learnto manage their emotions and practice essential skills to live life withoutsubstances.
AODA services include: group therapy, one-on-one therapy, education,relapse prevention, meditation, process groups, urine screening, and “SeekingSafety” treatment groups to address the trauma they have experienced.
Treatment at Meta House works to ensure that women learn the causes of their substanceaddiction, are able to stop their use of substances through the development ofnew ways to cope, and are equipped and empowered with the tools to managetrauma in order to reduce relapses.

Everyone is a slave to something. With our thoughts and words and actions, we either serve sin or we serve the Lord Jesus Christ. According to Scripture, the idea of being totally free to do whatever we want is a delusion. We are born slaves to our sinful desires and behaviors, but Jesus can break our bondage when we allow Him to become our new master.
In Romans 6:15, Paul repeats the same objection to the gospel of grace that he first raised in Romans 6:1, and He gives the same solid answer again. If God’s grace has forgiven Christians of all their sins through our faith in Jesus’ death and resurrection, then does that mean that we are free to sin as much as we want? Can we who are now saved by Christ’s blood freely break God’s commandments or laws as much as we please? Not at all! As we saw in the last post, no true Christian would ask that question. Why? Because to be a Christian is to be someone who hates sin and does not want to serve it any longer.
Christians believe that sin leads to death; to serve sin is to serve our own murderer (Romans 6:16). Because of Adam’s first sin, we all must die physically one day. And because of our continual sins that came from our sinful hearts, we were all dead spiritually before Jesus came into our lives. When we first trusted in Jesus as Savior, He delivered us from the penalty and power of sin’s cruel chains (Romans 6:17-18). We still choose to sin at times, but we do not have to. We have the power of the Holy Spirit within us to enable us to serve “righteousness” and “holiness” (Romans 6:19). We know that God has given us new hearts that both can and want to love Jesus and do what He says.
All of us have a master. Whom will you serve – Sin or Jesus?
The Text (Romans 6:15-19)
15 What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? Certainly not! 16 Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness? 17 But God be thanked that though you were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine to which you were delivered. 18 And having been set free from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. 19 I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
Questions to Think About
- What are some specific sins that you were once a slave to but now find that they are no longer your master? Are you glad to be free of their control?
- Does the idea of serving Jesus bring you joy? Why or why not?
- Take some time to thank God for your salvation. Thank Him both for what He has saved you from (sin) and what He has saved you to (holiness). Be as specific as you can so that you can really appreciate all that He has done in and for you through Christ.

Internet-based System To Liberalize Logistics Info
A push to revolutionize logistics information could mean that any consumer in Costa Rica may soon be able to track the history of a product online.
The Brussels-based logistics organization GS1 wants consumers here to be able to plug a product’s bar code into a Web site and have instant access to the product’s supply-chain history.
GS1 is trying to coordinate rules and norms worldwide that would allow for the liberalization of logistics information. Today in Costa Rica, only supply-chain companies have tracking access for approximately $1.3 million worth of goods daily.
GS1, which has an office in Costa Rica, is currently working with the National Chamber of Retailers, a group of some 5,000 retailers around the country, to adopt the bar code system in Costa Rica. A total of 340 national firms have adopted the system, GS1 director Guillermo Valera told the daily La Nación.
The retail giant Wal-Mart, for instance, already requires all of its suppliers to use the tracking system.

Ugali is a mixture of water and maize meal .The meal is common in Kenya and can be eaten alongside vegetables, beans,meat and milk. There are several health benefits of eating ugali.
Before we can highlight the health benefits of Ugali,we would like to note that Ugali made of unga which is not sifted has more health benefits than maize meal bought in supermarkets. You know, maize meal bought in supermarkets do not have the important component like oil, which is normally extracted at the industry and sold.Also,the cover of the maize is removed to make the unga smooth and tender, which is not okay when it comes to digestion.
Ugali contains roughages, which help in accelerating digestion.You won’t hear anyone complain of constipation when they eat ugali.
There are a lot of carbohydrates in Ugali, which helps in generating energy. The meal is so good that makes the stomach full for at least 6 hours.
The Corn oil in maize meal has antioxidants, which lacks cholesterol.Cholesterol has health hazards and is found in animal fats.
Maize meal is a source of iron, which is essential in building blood tissues.
Ugali also contains a lot of proteins for building body tissues.
As you can see,there are so many health benefits of maize meal.Even if you eat it alone,you will still assume you had a balanced diet.
Experts say maize meal does not have health hazards, unless you cook the one that has overstayed in stores which contain aflatoxins

The EU whistleblower protection directive: background and main elements
On Oct. 7, the EU whistleblower protection directive was approved. Jan Tadeusz Stappers, LL.M, our legal counsel, was interviewed by Fraud magazine about the backgrund and main elements of the directive.
Less than half of all EU member states had whistleblower protection legislation in place before this directive, which means potential whistleblowers were facing a real risk of retaliation. The new directive addresses this fear, stating that “the importance of providing balanced and effective whistleblower protection is increasingly acknowledged both at European and international level.” In the EU, there’ve only been a very limited number of sectors where measures have been instituted to protect whistleblowers, mostly in the areas of financial services.
The new law protects whistleblowers from liability related to reporting breaches of law in accordance with the directive. The Whistleblower Protection Directive includes a wide array of EU law that whistleblowers might report on. Moreover, member states are free to extend these rules to other areas. The European Commission encourages them to establish comprehensive frameworks for whistleblower protection based on the same principles.
The new directive has a broad scope, including private and public sectors. A wide range of individuals might rely on the new law — from employees and volunteer workers to so-called facilitators, colleagues and family members of the person issuing the report. The directive’s scope covers whistleblowers who haven’t commenced their work-based relationship to those whose job has already ended. Although consumers aren’t explicitly mentioned as eligible for protection under the law, there’s no prohibition to report on breaches perceived by a consumer, as long as knowledge of the breach was gathered in a work-related context.
It’s more important than ever for organisations to offer a secure and effective internal whistleblowing channel. After all, from an organisation’s perspective it’s better to deal with a wrongdoing internally rather than risk sensitive information ending up in the public domain.
The Whistleblower Protection Directive will introduce sanctions on retaliation against whistleblowers. Some EU member states offer more far-reaching protection to whistleblowers than others. Practice will show whether this will lead to side effects like whistleblowers “forum shopping” for protection in various national jurisdictions.
Member states must transpose the Whistleblower Protection Directive no later than two years after adoption. Legal entities with more than 50 and less than 250 employees have another two years after transposition to comply.

Aggressive Analytics was performing the role of health data scientist long before Harvard Business Review named it the "sexiest job of the 21st century." Many health care organizations have excellent information technology and business skills but their projects do not succeed. This is because the role of the data scientist is missing.
Health data scientists live at the intersection of technology, medicine, and business and use their knowledge, skills, and abilities to extract knowledge or insights from data in various forms. They do this by serving as a value-added bridge: translating capabilities and expectations; building teams; and using advanced data analysis techniques such as statistics, data mining, and predictive analytics.
Aggressive Analytics was formed in 2008 to provide a unique, embedded approach to help health care organizations continually improve their operations in an increasingly value-driven marketplace. We are not just a consultant or contractor - we become part of your improvement team.

In a northern-ish corner of the Old City in Jerusalem, not far from the Damascus Gate and right at the edge of the Via Dolorosa, hides the Austrian Hospice of the Holy Family in Jerusalem. Outside the gates of the hospice, you find yourself in hustle and bustle of the Muslim quarter. Inside the hospice you will feel as though you have time-travelled to 19th century Europe.
I first thought that I got the wrong address on the day that I visited. The building on 37 Via Dolorosa street looked like a large and imposing wall with a large and imposing wooden door. A huge and ancient door that was very firmly closed. A few locals, who were sitting in the shade on the steps, confirmed my feeling that I was not at the right place.
But this is Israel, and I know that the locals are always happy to help.
“Is this the Austrian Hospice?”, I asked them.
“Yes”, says one of the step sitters.
“Do you know if it is open today?”, I asked. We are still living in the shade of the corona virus and many places in Israel have not yet opened for the public.
“They open at 10 o’clock”, someone else replied. We all glanced at our cell phones, it was 4 minutes after 10 and yet the doors are still firmly shut. The local who answered me first read the question on my face and said:
“Go and ring the bell.”
It was only then that I noticed a small intercom with a button on the side of the large door. So my daughter rang the bell and the large door opened immediately. We stepped through and suddenly we were not in Israel in the year 2020 anymore.
A brief historical background (with lots of action)
The Austrian hospice is a boutique hotel/hostel that was built to house German-speaking pilgrims from Germany and Austria. The land was originally bought in 1855 and eight years later, on the 19th of March 1863 the hostel opened its doors to its first pilgrim guests. Back in the day, the Catholic presence in Jerusalem was dominated by the French and the Austrians wanted in too. A pilgrimage to the Holy Land was the thing to do among the rich and aristocratic and during the 1890's and onwards, the middle class German speakers started to follow this trend too.
Franz Joseph, emperor of Austria and king of Hungary, Croatia, and Bohemia came for his own pilgrimage in 1869, officially inaugurated the hostel and obviously also stayed there. The emperor Franz Joseph was the uncle of archduke Franz Ferdinand. It was Franz Ferdinand's assassination in Sarajevo that was the match to ignite the First World War.Not surprisingly the war was not for good business and pilgrimages to the Holy Land came to a near standstill. The French Catholic institutions were closed by the Ottoman authorities because they were considered as the property of the enemy. The Austro-Hungarian Empire was however an ally of the Ottoman Empire and the Austrian Hostel continues to host Austrian government and military personnel.
After the war, the pilgrimage business started to slowly recover and in 1933 a second floor was added to house more guests.
And then the Second World War broke out...
The hospice was turned into an internment camp by the British forces. It housed Austrian, German and Italian priests and members of religious orders belonging to the Third Reich. Later they were exiled from the country.In 1948, under the British mandate, the hospice became a military hospital. Eventually the Jordanians took over the building when they gained control of the Old City and used it as a hospital for the Arab population. The Jordian king Abdullah I was rushed to this hospital when he was shot during the Friday prayers at Al-Aqsa Mosque on the 20th July 1951. His grandson Prince Hussein was also shot, however a medal that his grandfather pinned to his chest, saved his life.
During the Six Day War in 1967, Israel took control of the Old City and also the Austrian hostel. In 1985 the Austrian Hospice was given back to its rightful owners and today the hospice once again houses guests from all over the world.
What to see at the Austrian Hospice
Explore the buildingYou are free to explore and marvel at the intricacies that make up the three floors of the hospice. Be sure to peek into the salon on the first floor - it is a bit mind-boggling to think that something so old-European exists in the middle of the Old City of Jerusalem. The salon used to be a dining room for pilgrims. These days concerts and lectures are held there.
Enjoy an authentic Viennese coffee shopThe most popular destination in the Austrian Hospice is definitely the coffee shop. I have always wanted to visit an authentic Viennese coffee shop but never thought that I would not have to leave Israel to do so :). There is even a dumbwaiter that connects the kitchen with the coffee shop that totally impressed me. The coffee shop exudes charm and ambience and the coffee tastes like coffee should. My family and I were however a bit disappointed with the apple strudel and chocolate cake. It could be that our palate is more used to the richer Israeli cakes. There are many nooks and crannies to enjoy your coffee, including a ‘secret’ garden terrace.
Enjoy the view from the high rooftopOne of the best places to see a cityscape of the Old City, is right on top of the Austrian Hospice. There is a coin-operated gate that takes five shekels per person, so keep this in mind if you want to go and see the view. Sight-seekers only have access to a small section of the rooftop but the views are really outstanding. If you enjoy taking photos and are as enamoured by the Old City of Jerusalem as I am, I highly recommend that you visit this rooftop. Just like everything else in Israel, the Austrian Hospice is enthused with history. Though maybe with a bit more ‘recent’ history than other landmarks such as the Western Wall and the architecture left behind by the Roman Empire. I still think though that this building is worth a visit. It is not only a wonderful place to have a break and drink a decent cup of coffee but it also marks the long relationship between Israel and the pilgrims who are compelled to visit the Holy Land.You can find information about opening hours and bookings at the Austrian Hospice’s website.

Motivational Speakers on Decision Making
If you’re looking for motivational speakers on decision making, look no further. Arjun’s fun and engaging presentation will connect with the audience as they leave with confidence, excitement, and ready to take action.
Business school education takes students through case studies to simulate decision making situations. Unfortunately, those are not real since the decision-maker does not feel the pressure of real-life consequences that come with decisions. As one of the top motivational speakers on decision making, Arjun will take the audience through real life decision making situations as true decision-making is learned from real decisions made in the corporate world– where the winner takes it all and the rest are faced with CLM (Career Limiting Move).
Arjun is one of the few motivational speakers on decision making, who brings real-life content in ‘make-or-break situations where the right decision took the brand forward onto the path to Win Big. Arjun will show the audience how every decision making starts with not only staying calm, but controlling the urge to act immediately, and giving yourself the time to see the big picture. As Lane Cardwell, a veteran restaurant Rockstar leader said, “Seeing the big picture is like looking at a Google map. You need to zoom in to see every house and road, and then immediately zoom out to see where every road leads to”. This concept of seeing the big picture should be followed by identifying decision elements which are MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Cumulatively Exhaustive), a concept used by leading consulting brands around the world.
Arjun’s keynotes demonstrate how important it is to keep an eye on the end goal and how the entire team can be motivated so they are aligned on that goal, while making the any decision.
Corporate leaders from around the world describe Arjun as one of the most “must listen to” motivational speakers on decision making.

The Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Group pension fund has demonstrated its appreciation of reinsurance and insurance-linked securities as an alternative asset class by increasing its allocation to ILS fund managers by 36% during the pension funds last financial year.
Just over a year ago we wrote that the RBS Group pension fund had discovered reinsurance and ILS as it moved investment capital from equities into alternatives in search of a source of stable and attractive returns with low-correlation to broader financial markets.
At that time, the financial year ending 31st March 2012, the pension fund had allocated £388m into two specialist ILS fund managers, which we now know to have been £200m allocated to Leadenhall Capital Partners and £188m to Nephila Capital.
Now, in its latest annual report for the financial year ending 31st March 2013 the RBS Group pension fund has revealed an increase in its allocation to reinsurance and ILS as part of a further move from equities into alternative asset classes.
The pension fund reduced its equity investments by £500m over the course of the financial year, as it continued to diversify into alternative asset classes in search of a more balanced portfolio. This is a strategy being followed, or investigated, by many major global pension funds at this time.
The pension fund increased its allocation to alternative asset classes by £600m during the financial year, growing its alternative asset portfolio to £1.2 billion by the end of the year.
The allocation to reinsurance has increased in market value by 36%, from the £388m at the end of March 2012 to £527m by the end of March 2013. The RBS Group pension fund has stuck with the two ILS managers it first allocated to, growing the market value of its allocation to Leadenhall Capital to £260m and the market value of its allocation to Nephila Capital to £267m.
Investments in ILS and reinsurance now make up almost 42% of the RBS Group pension funds allocation to alternative asset fund managers, which clearly shows that the bank appreciates the contribution the asset class makes to its overall portfolio. The pension fund has over £25 billion of net assets under management which makes the allocation to reinsurance around 2%, a typical amount for a major pension fund to allocate to the space.
The fact that large pension fund owners like RBS Group increase their allocations to reinsurance and ILS year to year is encouraging as it shows that they are appreciating the contribution the asset class makes to their portfolio return profile as well as a growing level of comfort in the sector and its managers.
It would not be surprising to see RBS increase its allocation again to the asset class in this financial year if the opportunity presents itself as the returns achieved to date in 2013 must be proving very attractive to the pension fund.

TV star’s story time Patients at our hospital could ‘bear-ly’ believe their eyes when TV presenter Andy Day paid them a visit. Housebuilder Redrow has raised £50,000 for our hospital over the course of the last three years and arranged the visit as part of its on-going support for our charity. Following a tour of the hospital, Andy visited three wards and helped to distribute toys donated by Redrow. Graham Micklewright, Regional Director for Redrow Homes (Midlands), said: Raising £50,000 for Birmingham Children’s Hospital Charity is a real milestone and something we couldn’t have done without the support of our staff, suppliers, contractors and customers. We decided to celebrate by doing something special for the patients, their families and staff at the hospital. Andy’s visit was a real surprise for the children – many of them couldn’t believe that someone they’re used to seeing on TV was in the room with them reading a story or hand delivering a new toy. To tie in with The Big Sleuth, Andy read popular children’s picture book ‘The Everywhere Bear’ to young patients during his visit. Andy said: I loved visiting Birmingham Children’s Hospital and meeting the children, staff and parents. It was great to see so many smiling faces. Children quizzed Andy about the TV shows he’s appeared in; while he turned the tables on them by asking about their favourite programmes, music and films. Annie Eytle, Acting Events and Regional Fundraising Manager at our charity, added: We’re incredibly grateful to Redrow Homes for arranging this special visit and would like to say a huge thank you to Andy for taking time out of his busy schedule to surprise our patients. Our brave children, families and hard-working staff had a truly wonderful afternoon meeting a TV legend in real life! Thanks again to Andy for bringing lots of joy and happiness to our hospital.

Common mistakes in the Backcountry.
When gearing-up for an elk hunt, the author suggests purchasing equipment that will keep you comfortable during harsh weather, safe when the terrain becomes shaky, and on game in any situation. This means not skimping on essentials such as optics and other important gear.
For the past 25 years, I've been a serious, do-it-yourself archery elk hunter. Such being the case, I've slowly refined my elk hunting tactics down to a very productive system, which eliminates many of the mistakes that lower your odds for success. In the following lines, I'll try to highlight many of the ways that you can make such an outing more productive and enjoyable. If you're thinking about trying a "self" hunt for elk on our open public lands of the West, consider addressing these issues, and you'll save yourself a lot of hard knocks.
The Big Three
By far, most do-it-yourself bowhunts for elk are doomed to failure before they ever get started because an individual fails to supply a liberal dose of three critical ingredients: time, and physical and mental toughness. All these factors are intertwined, yet distinctly separate. Only by learning to combine all of them at a top-end level can you cross the dividing line between consistent success and average failure. Few people have any idea of the true level of participation I'm really talking about here; even fewer will ever grasp such a reality. Most stay on the porch, a few run with the big dogs.
Firstly, and by far most importantly, comes mental toughness--herein lies the single greatest factor to success or failure in the do-it-yourself, elk bowhunting game. You must have a burning desire to do it; to learn it, to settle for nothing less than your absolute best effort. If this is you, if you've got the fire inside, you'll find a way to supply everything else.
In addition to this mental toughness, you must be able to back it up with a capable, warm body that can get the job done. The physical rigors involved in this type of hunting must be experienced to be understood. Here, let me interject this: Certainly, you can bowhunt for elk on your own without "taking it to the limit," as I've always done. Nevertheless, from my own personal experience, this type of "top-end" effort is absolutely necessary to achieve the kind of success that I've enjoyed--100-percent, on public land, mature bulls.
If you've got the mind and body for the undertaking, then you must supply the time to bring it all together. You'll spend countless hours preparing for the trip before it ever starts. Additionally, whenever you get to elk country (especially if you'll be hunting above 10,000 feet in elevation), you must figure that a large part of the first week will be needed for your body to acclimatize, and to start to acquire the physical capacities it needs to accomplish the task at hand. As you can probably see why, I always allow at least two weeks for my elk trips--three weeks is much better. Let me give you an example of how I quickly learned the necessity of combining a liberal dose of time and toughness to assure success.
On any bowhunt deep in the backcountry, be prepared to work hard. Physical and mental toughness are sure to swing the odds in your favor.
The first time I attempted a do-it-yourself elk bowhunt was in 1981. I knew virtually nothing about what I was getting into, but I had the desire to simply dive in headfirst. My first few days were spent climbing around in near-vertical country at a very high elevation. I got altitude sickness and lost half of my third, and all of my fourth day afield. Getting started again--as I started to get my "mountain legs and lungs" about me--I soon found myself into elk action.
As I neared success, the time I'd allotted for the trip (10 days) ran out. I headed for home just as I was getting prepared to bow-kill my first elk. Leaving like this certainly yanked my under-shorts into an immediate and quite serious wad. As soon as I got home, I started preparing to go back. Meeting some work requirements as quickly as possible, I loaded my old truck and headed to the mountains again.
This time, I was going to stay until I got the job done, or the season closed, whichever came first. With the determination to mentally and physically stretch my body to its limits each day, and with the time to hunt unhurriedly, I killed my first bull after 13 days of gut wrenching toil and strain.
The landscape on wilderness hunts has the potential to be fickle. Don't let the country get the best of you, be prepared for anything.
If you've supplied the aforementioned ingredients for success, it's certainly a good idea to attempt to save yourself as much heartache as possible. Owing to the inherent difficulty of such an outing, it's an absolute necessity to surround yourself with gear that keeps you safe, comfortable and effective. On my first hunt, I was sadly deficient in support gear, and thus, my hunting effectiveness suffered greatly. When I got home, I saved every dime I could muster for the next year so that I could purchase some quality backpacking equipment, clothing and optics. As I look back on this sacrifice of money, however, I realize that my total expenditure was less than what the average guided hunt costs...what a deal!
I hesitate to tell people to equip themselves with top-end gear before they ever attempt their first do-it-yourself hunt for elk. I've seen many get the gear, try the trip, and then bail out. On the other hand, if you don't have the good gear when you first try such an outing, you'll be even more inclined to "melt down." I say, get the gear. E-Bay can be a lifesaver!
One of the most intimidating factors that most newcomers face on a mountainous hunt is the "size" of the country. The elk habitat that I tackle is best described by adjectives such as rough, rugged, thick, steep and dangerous. The reality of getting lost or seriously injured in such country is a constant threat. Certainly, the unprepared novice is going to have problems remaining orientated in elk country, though, with time, you'll develop the savvy to get the job done effectively and safely.
After the kill, the work begins. If not prepared, this can be a burden and has the potential to turn a successful hunt sour.
Rather than learning everything the hard way, however, it's best to get savvy on the use of a compass and topographic maps. Thus equipped, the fear of being lost becomes a relatively mute point. Additionally, there's another option--the GPS. Use it only as a "backup" to your own skills, not as a "crutch."
Due to the sheer nature of a backcountry elk hunt, it is impossible to practice good bodily hygiene. Combine this with an elk's excellent scenting abilities, and you see the problem. Few hunters truly give elk the credit they deserve in the olfactory department. Personally, I've witnessed elk smell me at nearly one half-mile away. Such being the case, it goes without saying that you've got to use the wind as your ally--nothing else will suffice.
Failure to understand the workings of air currents in relation to topography and temperature changes is a sure recipe for failure. Particularly, "thermal" air currents--the natural flow of air up or down a slope--are the ones we're talking about here. Once you're in the element with the elk, "playing the thermals" will go further towards determining your success or failure than any other single factor. For instance: Hunt west and/or north facing slopes in the mornings because they will remain shaded longer, thus allowing for steady, downhill airflow. Contrarily, hunt east-facing slopes in the evening because they will "shade-up" earlier, providing dependable downhill air movement. As far as midday times are concerned, I have a simple rule here: Stay out of the woods. Winds are too unpredictable, and you'll be hunting elk in their bedding areas, which is, generally speaking, a very bad deal.
Tactics And Times
During my very first trip for elk, I learned a lot about matching the right tactics to the right time of the season. A lot of archery hunters shoot themselves in the foot by making bad decisions as to what tactics to use in each individual stage of the rut and/or each individual hunting situation. For instance, many go afield, bugle in hand, trying to call a bull to within range well before the rut is in full swing. Others try to spot-and-stalk rutting, bachelor bulls, when such animals will often "come-a-running" at the first sound of a bugle. Others may sit at a wallow well after the rut is in full swing, the weather has cooled and bulls are running wild in search of cows. Not so smart, get the picture?
My first year afield was an escapade of errors. More often than not, I found myself missing out on golden opportunities because of bad decisions and/or ill preparedness. Let me give you a couple of examples: On my first trip in '81, it was hard for me to lay down my "whitetail mentality," and thus, I spent too much time sitting in ambush, waiting for "the bull that never showed up." The rut was already started, but I sat idly by in silent ambush--not using the best tactic for the time.

Summary of InvasivenessTop of page
The exact origin of the MEAM1 species of Bemisia tabaci, and the reasons why it became such an important pest are still not fully known. MEAM1 was first identified in the mid 1980s when it invaded the southern states of North America. Vast numbers of whiteflies were found to be infesting winter vegetable crops and consequently caused an estimated $500 million loss to the 1991 winter harvest in California. Investigations led to the assumption that the B biotype had spread to the USA on ornamental plants that were being transported around the world. Species such as poinsettia and gerbera were highlighted as probable hosts. During the 1990s MEAM1 was reported on every continent. Biological traits of MEAM1 implied that it had evolved within intensive agricultural regions with exposure to pesticides and modern cultural practices. These included an ability to feed and develop on a wide range of plant and crop species, a high level of fecundity and a predisposition to develop resistance to a wide range of pesticides. MEAM1 is also an effective vector of many different plant viruses which, in conjunction with its high level of polyphagy, make it extremely problematic within agricultural regions where crops may be susceptible to viruses acquired from indigenous plants. Despite B. tabaci being a tropical/sub-tropical whitefly species, MEAM1 is often transported on plant species to temperate regions of the world. Within these cooler regions, MEAM1 can survive within a protected environment and could feasibly spread virus diseases to new locations. It is for this reason that B. tabaci and members of its species complex, including MEAM1, are on EPPO A2 Alert list.

Notes on Taxonomy and NomenclatureTop of page
The silverleaf whitefly, formerly known as Bemisia tabaci biotype B, but now widely known as Middle East-Asia Minor 1 species was first identified as a new strain of B. tabaci when it appeared in the Americas during the mid-1980s (Brown et al., 1995a). It differed from the indigenous strain of B. tabaci by the ability of its larvae to induce a phytotoxic 'silverleaf' disorder of squash (Costa and Brown, 1991) and by its distinctive esterase profile (Bedford et al., 1993), although the latter feature is not infallible (Byrne et al., 1995). Until 1994, it was universally known as biotype B of B. tabaci. However, Bellows et al. (1994) described it as a separate species, naming it Bemisia argentifolii. This decision was a contentious issue between researchers and taxonomists worldwide, because the naming of the B biotype as B. argentifolii was based on a comparison with the indigenous American strain (the A biotype) and not between the many other biotypes that were being identified worldwide (Bedford et al., 1994a). A study by Rosell et al. (1997) which used SEM to examine the morphological characters documented by Bellows et al. (1994) for identifying B. argentifolii showed that most Old World populations of B. tabaci were morphologically indistinguishable from the B biotype. These Old World populations did not induce silverleaf disorders or produce similar esterase banding patterns to the B biotype. However, within the New World, the B biotype has been readily accepted as a new species, B. argentifolii. In 2005 the phylogenetic relationships between genotypes of B. tabaci were compared using ITS1 and CO1 nucleotide sequences. This identified six distinct 'races' throughout the world. The study concluded that there was insufficient data to raise races to species status, but supported the recognition of the six races as an unresolved core of ungrouped genotypes under the single Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) species name. As a consequence there is insufficient molecular and biological data to support the separation of B. tabaci and B. argentifolii as different species and this should now be discontinued (De Barro et al., 2005). Further research comparing mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 1 (mtCO1) gene has demonstrated that, rather than one complex species, B. tabaci is a complex of 11 genetic groups. These genetic groups are composed of at least 34 morphologically indistinguishable species, which are merely separated by a minimum of 3.5% mtCOI nucleotide divergence (Dinsdale et al., 2010; De Barro et al., 2011; Boykin and De Barro, 2014). The decision is supported by many whitefly researchers worldwide and by the International Whitefly Symposium Network.
DescriptionTop of page
Eggs are pear shaped with a pedicel spike at the base, approximately 0.2 mm long.
A flat, irregular oval shape, about 0.7 mm long, with an elongate, triangular vasiform orifice. On a smooth leaf the puparium lacks enlarged dorsal setae, but if the leaf is hairy, 2-8 long dorsal setae are present.
Adults are approximately 1 mm long, the male slightly smaller than the female. The body and both pairs of wings are covered with a powdery, waxy secretion, white to slightly yellowish in colour.
DistributionTop of page
MEAM1 species is fast establishing a global presence. However, certain areas within Europe are still MEAM1 free, e.g. Finland, Sweden, Republic of Ireland and the UK (Cuthbertson and Vänninen, 2015).

History of Introduction and SpreadTop of page
The MEAM1 species of B. tabaci was first reported as an invasive species within the USA in the mid-1980s (Costa and Brown, 1991). By 1990 it had spread throughout most of the southern states of the USA (Perring et al., 1993). By 1994, MEAM1 had also been reported from Central America, the Caribbean, South America, Japan, South Africa, southern Europe, the Middle East (Bedford et al., 1992, 1993, 1994a, c) and Australasia (De Barro, 1995). It was also being reported as interceptions and sporadic appearances within glasshouses in northern Europe and the UK (Bedford et al., 1993). In 2000 MEAM1 was appearing for the first time within South-East Asia (Simon et al., 2003; Rekha et al., 2005). It is assumed that all these introductions have been accidental.
Risk of IntroductionTop of page
The risk to the EPPO region is primarily to the glasshouse industry in northern countries, and mainly concerns MEAM1 species. Present legislation relates to B. tabaci, so reference to B. argentifolii should be avoided to prevent confusion in these areas. Since the recent introduction of this whitefly to several of these countries, the pest has proved particularly difficult to combat because of its polyphagy, its resistance to many insecticides and its disruption of biological control programmes (Prabhaker et al., 1985; Della Giustina et al., 1989; Mushtaq Ahmad et al., 2002). Furthermore, it is also a pest of field crops in other countries in the south of the EPPO region. However, initial fears that MEAM1 species may eventually displace other whiteflies on outdoor crops in southern Europe and cause much greater problems, have so far been unfounded.
Countries that already contain many begomoviruses that infect indigenous plants and weeds, and are associated with localized populations of B. tabaci that exhibit narrow host ranges may be particularly at risk from MEAM1. Should MEAM1 B. tabaci species become established in these countries its polyphagous feeding activities could enable viruses to move into new susceptible host plants, causing new crop protection problems.
Hosts/Species AffectedTop of page
MEAM1 B. tabaci species is documented as being polyphagous, having a host range of around 600 different plant species. This includes many glasshouse and field crops, as well as weeds. However, a study by De Courcy Williams et al. (1996) indicated that only a small number of individuals within a population can readily change host plants. It is the progeny of these particular individuals that lead to the species as a whole being highly polyphagous.

SymptomsTop of page
Early indication of infestation may consist of chlorotic spots caused by larval feeding, which may also be disfigured by honeydew and associated sooty moulds. Leaf curling, yellowing, mosaics or yellow-veining may also indicate the presence of whitefly-transmitted viruses. These symptoms are also observed in B. tabaci infestations, however phytotoxic responses such as a severe silvering of courgette and melon leaves, mis-ripening of tomato fruits, stem whitening of Brassica crops and yellow veining of some solanaceous plants are only caused by MEAM1 (Costa et al., 1993; Secker et al., 1998).
The feeding of adults and nymphs causes chlorotic spots to appear on the surface of the leaves. Depending on the level of infestation, these spots may coalesce until the whole of the leaf is yellow, apart from the area immediately around the veins. Such leaves are later shed. The honeydew produced by the feeding of the nymphs covers the underside of leaves and can cause a reduction in photosynthetic potential when colonized by moulds. Honeydew can also disfigure flowers and, in cotton, can cause problems in lint processing. Following heavy infestations, plant height, the number of internodes, and yield quality and quantity can be affected, for example, in cotton.
Phytotoxic responses in many plant and crop species caused by larval feeding include severe silvering of courgette leaves, white stems in pumpkin, white streaking in leafy Brassica crops, uneven ripening of tomato fruits, reduced growth, yellowing and stem blanching in lettuce and kai choy (Brassica campestris) and yellow veining in carrots and honeysuckle (Lonicera) (Bedford et al., 1994a,b).
A close observation of leaf undersides will show tiny, yellow to white larval scales. In severe infestations, when the plant is shaken, numerous small and white adult whiteflies will emerge in a cloud and quickly resettle. These symptoms do not appreciably differ from those of Trialeurodes vaporariorum, the glasshouse whitefly, which is common throughout Europe.

Biology and EcologyTop of page
Eggs are usually laid in circular groups, on the underside of leaves, with the broad end touching the surface and the long axis perpendicular to the leaf. They are anchored by a pedicel which is inserted into a fine slit made by the female in plant tissue, and not into stomata as is the case with many other members of the Aleyrodidae. Eggs are whitish in colour when first laid, but gradually turn brown. Hatching occurs after 5-9 days at 30°C but this depends very much on host species, temperature and humidity.
On hatching, the first instar, or 'crawler', is flat, oval and scale-like in shape. The first instar is the only larval stage of this whitefly which is mobile. It moves from the egg site to a suitable feeding location on the lower surface of the leaf, after which its legs are lost in the next moult and the larva becomes sessile. It does not move again throughout the remaining nymphal stages. The first three nymphal stages last 2-4 days each, according to temperature. The fourth nymphal stage is termed the puparium, and is approximately 0.7 mm long. True pupation within the whitefly life-cycle does not occur, although the last (fourth) nymphal instar is typically referred to as a pupa after apolysis has been completed. Metamorphosis to adult occurs over about 6 days.
The adult emerges through a 'T'-shaped rupture in the skin of the puparium and spreads its wings for several minutes before beginning to powder itself with a waxy secretion from glands on the abdomen. Copulation begins 12-20 hours after emergence and takes place several times throughout the life of the adult. The life span of the female can extend to 60 days. The life of the male is generally much shorter, being between 9 and 17 days. Each female can oviposit over 300 eggs during her lifetime, these are often arranged in an arc around the female as she rotates on her stylet. Some 11 to 15 generations can occur within 1 year.
MEAM 1 species is the vector of over 60 plant viruses in the genera Geminivirus, Closterovirus, Nepovirus, Carlavirus, Potyvirus and a rod-shaped DNA virus (Markham et al., 1994). Whitefly-transmitted geminiviruses, now designated Begomoviruses (Mayo and Pringle, 1998), are the most important of these agriculturally, causing yield losses to crops of between 20 and 100% (Brown and Bird, 1992; Cathrin and Ghanim, 2014). Begomoviruses cause a range of different symptoms which include yellow mosaics, yellow veining, leaf curling, stunting and vein thickening. Mansoor et al. (1993) reported that 1 million hectares of cotton were decimated in Pakistan by Cotton leaf curl virus (CLCuV) and important African subsistence crops such as cassava are affected by begomoviruses such as African cassava mosaic virus (ACMV) (see datasheet on African cassava mosaic disease). Tomato crops throughout the world are particularly susceptible to many different begomoviruses, and in most cases exhibit yellow leaf curl symptoms. This has caused their initial characterization as Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV). A number of different species of TYCLV have now been recorded from within both the New World and Old World where MEAM1occur (Jones, 2003). MEAM1 has also been associated with transmission of several other begomoviruses such as Tomato mottle virus (EPPO, 1996), Tobacco leaf curl virus (TLCV), Sida golden mosaic virus (SiGMV), Squash leaf curl virus (SLCV), Cotton leaf crumple virus (CLCV), Bean golden mosaic virus (BGMV) and Cotton leaf curl virus (Simon et al., 2003), some of which cause heavy yield losses in their respective hosts. Dual infections have also been shown to occur (Bedford et al., 1994c).
Although MEAM1 B. tabaci is not responsible for many of the begomovirus epidemics within Africa and Asia, it is now present on these continents and it is able to acquire and transmit these viruses (Bedford et al., 1994a). Its ability to feed on many different host plants enables whitefly-transmitted viruses to infect new plant species. This could cause greater problems to the agriculture in these areas as has already been demonstrated in the Americas.
Europe has five known begomoviruses, two of which have been shown to be no longer transmissible by B. tabaci and in particular MEAM1, Tobacco leaf curl virus (TLCV) (also known as Honeysuckle yellow vein mosaic virus (HYVMV)), Ipomea yellow vein virus and Abutilon mosaic virus (AbMV), possibly through many years of vegetative propagation of their ornamental hosts (Jones 2003; Bedford et al., 1994a). The others are two different transmissible tomato yellow leaf curl viruses that are causing major crop losses within the tomato industries of Spain, Portugal and Italy (Moriones et al., 1993; Louro et al., 1996). Indigenous weed species have also been shown as field reservoirs for one of these tomato viruses (Bedford et al., 1998) and may be the source of others yet to be identified within Europe. A closterovirus, Cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus (CYSDV) and an Ipomovirus, Cucumber vein yellowing virus (CVYV) transmitted by B. tabaci (including MEAM1), are also causing severe damage to cucumbers and melons in Spain and around the Mediterranean basin (Celix et al., 1996; Jones, 2003).

Notes on Natural EnemiesTop of page
Natural enemies of whiteflies will, in most cases, have co-evolved with their prey and may, in some regions, be more efficient at controlling their native prey than an introduced one. Since the origin of MEAM1 B. tabaci species is still unknown, its specific natural enemies have not yet been identified. However, it appears that most, if not all the natural enemies listed for B. tabaci, should attack MEAM1, although this has not been fully investigated.
Various species of predatory mites have also been shown to be effective in feeding upon Mediterranean species of B. tabaci populations, including Amblyseius limonicus, A. swirskii and Transeius montdorensis (Cuthbertson, 2014). No doubt they will also feed on MEAM1 species. A large range of natural enemies of B. tabaci have been recorded in China (Li et al., 2011). Their specificity to individual members of the B. tabaci species complex is unknown.
Entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi have been shown to offer much potential in controlling what has now been determined as MEAM1 species Bemisia populations (Cuthbertson et al., 2003a, 2005a, 2007a, b; Cuthbertson and Walters, 2005).
Means of Movement and DispersalTop of page
Adults do not fly very efficiently, but once airborne, can be transported long distances by convection or by wind. The greater dispersive capacity of MEAM1 B. tabaci has been instrumental in its greater economic importance. All stages of this whitefly are likely to be transported within the international trade of ornamental plants and cut flowers. The international trade in poinsettia and gerbera has played a significant role in the dispersal of MEAM1 (Cuthbertson, 2013) to all continents.
As with other species of whitefly and biotypes of B. tabaci, MEAM1 can easily disperse over short distances. This dispersal can occur in vast numbers when host plants become heavily infested and begin to senesce. Large 'clouds' comprising many millions of individuals have been recorded leaving a dying host crop. Dispersal is almost certainly assisted by wind.
Physical movement of infested plants, whether it be through plant care, harvesting or spraying, can result in adult MEAM1 dispersal from an infested plant.
Movement in trade
Any susceptible plant or crop, where leafy material is produced for distribution and export can act as a means of dispersing MEAM1. Seasonal plants such as poinsettia, bedding plants, grafted crop plants and cut flowers are all potential means for MEAM1 distribution. However, this usually involves dispersal of whitefly larvae and pupae rather than adults.

ImpactTop of page
MEAM1 species of B. tabaci can have a serious impact on the production of certain field crops as well as a wide range of protected horticultural crops. In the majority of cases, this is due to viruses that the whitefly transmits between susceptible crops or acquires from indigenous host reservoirs. MEAM1 is also able to induce a phytotoxic response from a number of plant species that could cause yield loss or reduced quality produce. This includes squash silver leaf (Bedford et al., 1994b), pumpkin white stem (Costa and Brown, 1991), white streaking of cole crops (Brown et al., 1992), reduced growth and stem blanching of kai choy (Costa et al., 1993) and uneven ripening of tomato (Maynard and Cantliffe, 1989). All of these can affect the yield and quality of a crop and thus its market value. In 1991, MEAM1 alone caused an estimated $500 million loss to the 1991 winter harvest in California, USA, mainly through virus damage. However, in other areas of the world where MEAM1 has appeared, it is found alongside an indigenous non-B biotype, so it is extremely difficult to determine specific economic damage. For example, MEAM1 is found alongside the K biotype in Pakistan where both biotypes transmit a disease of cotton, Cotton leaf curl virus. Around 2 million tonnes of cotton are grown in Pakistan and between 30 and 40% crop losses can be expected through whitefly-transmitted viruses based on figures in the mid-1990s. An estimate of 2.4 billion dollars damage was caused by the virus between 1993 and 1994 (Bhatti and Soomro 1996). In 1994, the cotton virus spread to India as did a whitefly-transmitted virus of tomato, Tomato leaf curl virus (Colvin et al., 2002), which caused a number of complete crop failures. This tomato virus was then reported to have spread to potato (Gard et al., 2001). Again MEAM1 was present within the epidemics although indigenous biotypes G, H and I were also recorded from India, so specific damage attributed to MEAM1 alone, could not be calculated.
Within Israel around the Mediterranean Basin, North Africa and on the Canary Islands MEAM1 is present alongside the indigenous Mediterranean (MED) species (formerly known as biotype Q). As seen in Pakistan, it is impossible to calculate the economic impact of MEAM1 alone in these areas. The economic impact of more recent appearances of MEAM1 within Africa, South and Central America and Australasia currently remains unknown.
Environmental ImpactTop of page
The appearance of MEAM1 within new areas is, in most cases, the result of movement of infested plant material. The movement and establishment of MEAM1 populations through this route brings along the possibility of insecticide resistance genes. This invariably leads to an increase in the use of insecticides as whitefly control becomes increasingly more difficult. This in turn can produce an ever increasing spiral in the levels of insecticide resistance and insecticide use, having a direct impact on the environment.
Detection and InspectionTop of page
Numerous chlorotic spots develop on the leaves of affected plants, which may also be disfigured by honeydew and associated sooty moulds. Leaf curling, yellowing, mosaics or yellow veining could indicate the presence of whitefly-transmitted viruses, and phytotoxic responses such as a severe silvering of courgette and melon leaves indicate the presence of the B biotype, the immature stages being mainly responsible for this symptom (Costa et al., 1993). Other phytotoxic responses to the B biotype include mis-ripening of tomato fruits (Maynard and Cantliffe, 1989), white streaking of Brassica leaves (Brown et al., 1992) and yellow veining of some solanaceous plants (Bedford et al., 1998).
Close observation of the undersides of the leaves will show the tiny, yellow/white larval scales and in severe infestations, when the plant is shaken, numerous small white adult whiteflies will flutter out and quickly resettle.
Similarities to Other Species/ConditionsTop of page
B. tabaci is now widely regarded to be a multi-species complex consisting of as many as 34 species that are morphologically indistinguishable from each other. They can, however, be distinguished molecularly (De Barro et al., 2011; Boykin and De Barro, 2014).
Differentiation of MEAM1 from other whitefly species on the basis of adult morphology is often difficult, although close observation of adult eye morphology may often show differences in ommatidial arrangements between some species. At rest, MEAM1 species has wings more closely pressed to the body than Trialeurodes vaporariorum, which is a larger whitefly and more triangular in appearance.
The fourth instar or puparium can also be used to distinguish MEAM1 from T. vaporariorum as a glasshouse pest. T. vaporariorum is 'pork-pie shaped', regularly ovoid, has straight sides (viewed laterally) resulting from the vertical wax pallisade surrounding each puparium, and in most instances, 12 large setae. MEAM1 species has an irregular 'pancake-like' oval shape, oblique sides and shorter, finer setae. Although the number of enlarged setae in the B biotype and wax rods in T. vaporariorum can vary according to host plant morphology, the two caudal setae are always stout and nearly always as long as the vasiform orifice in the B biotype. The length of caudal setae can be used to distinguish some Bemisia species.
For more information on the identification of B. tabaci from slide-mounted pupae, see Martin (1987).
Prevention and ControlTop of page
Due to the variable regulations around (de)registration of pesticides, your national list of registered pesticides or relevant authority should be consulted to determine which products are legally allowed for use in your country when considering chemical control. Pesticides should always be used in a lawful manner, consistent with the product's label.
Intercropping practices using non-hosts have been used in many countries aiming to reduce numbers of whiteflies on specific crops. However, intercropping with susceptible crops can promote whitefly populations, by offering a greater leaf area for feeding.
Weed species can play an important role in harbouring whiteflies between crop plantings and attention should be paid to removing these in advance of planting susceptible crops. Weeds also often harbour whitefly-transmitted viruses (Bedford et al., 1998) and may be a major source of crop virus epidemics, especially where MEAM1 species is present, due to its polyphagous nature.
Cultural control is generally much more effective where whiteflies are physical pests rather than virus vectors.
The development of transgenic resistant plant and crop species through genetic engineering must be considered and accepted as a future method of control where whitefly-transmitted viruses are already endemic and causing severe crop losses (Wilson, 1993; Raman and Altman, 1994). Traditional sources of resistance have been used successfully for the control of other whitefly species.
The following active ingredients have been reported as effective in controlling MEAM1 species worldwide: bifenthrin, buprofezin, imidacloprid, fenpropathrin, amitraz, fenoxycarb, deltamethrin, azadirachtin, pymetrozine.
MEAM1 has been documented as being able to exhibit resistance to all groups of pesticide that have been developed for its control (Cahill et al., 1994, 1995; Mushtaq Ahmad et al., 2002). A rotation of insecticides that offer no cross-resistance must therefore be used to control infestations.
A new group of environmentally safer insecticides that effectively kill whitefly by a physical mode of action are appearing on the market in many countries. These products do not have a specific active ingredient, but appear to utilise surfactant-like properties to overcome the protective waxes on whitefly larvae and adults.
The increased fecundity and polyphagous habit of MEAM1 species has exacerbated many control problems in field and glasshouse crops worldwide, compounded by insecticide resistance. It appears that no single control treatment can be used on a long-term basis against this pest, and that approaches should be integrated to achieve an effective level of control.
IPM appears to offer the best option for controlling MEAM1 infestations without causing contamination of the environment. Beneficial insects are used alongside chemicals that offer a high level of selectivity, such as insect growth regulators. However, if whitefly-transmitted viruses are present, it is unlikely that the threshold of whitefly vectors would ever be reduced to a level where virus transmission would cease by using these methods, because MEAM1 is such an efficient viral vector. Plant and crop species that exhibit a high level of resistance to both vector and virus must also be considered when designing an IPM system.
Entomopathogenic nematodes and fungi have been shown to be successfully tank-mixed with several chemical products for use in eradication programmes against what has now been deemed as MEAM1 species in the UK (Cuthbertson et al., 2003b, 2005b, 2007b).
In countries where MEAM 1 species is not already present, the enforcement of strict phytosanitary regulations as required for B. tabaci, may help to reduce the risk of this whitefly becoming established (Cuthbertson and Vänninen, 2015).
Because of the difficulty of detecting low levels of infestation in consignments, it is best to ensure that the place of production is free from the pest (OEPP/EPPO, 1990). Particular attention is needed for consignments from countries where certain B. tabaci-listed viruses, now on the EPPO A1 or A2 quarantine lists, are present. These viruses are also transmitted by MEAM1.

asian barbecue sticky tater tots with toasted sesame seeds
Oh, goodness, has it really been that long? Jeez.
You’d think one would notice after all this time. Yes, it’s only been a couple of months, but in tater tot time, that’s like 17 years ago! The last time I posted a tater tot recipe I stuffed them into these delicious poblano peppers with chorizo and a mega load of cheese. If I had to swim in a pool of chorizo and cheese the rest of my life, I would not complain.
So, rather than wait one more single minute, let’s talk tots. Oh, I just remembered another thing, I would also like to swim in a pool full of puppies. I’m not entirely sure how that would work, but I’m thinking soft fur, cute ears, and lots of kisses. If that didn’t work, there’s always noodles. Like in the movie Patch Adams. Swimming in ooooodles of noodles. Sounds fun, right?
Shoot. Are you still there? Who knew puppies and noodles could be so distracting?
Anyways, about them tots. Golden, perfectly fried tater tots. Sure you can make brussel sprout totchos, breakfast tots, or even Thanksgiving tots, but we haven’t covered a certain Eastern flavor yet. I present to you….You know what, if puppies and noodles were sold out at the pool supply store, I would definitely try marshmallow frosting. It would be sticky as hell, but fun to do a cannonball into, right?
Good heavens. I might be loosing my marbles. Stay on task. TOTS! Lot’s o’ tots. This may be my favorite tot recipe of ALL TIME. We all go bonkers over Asian barbecue sticky wings. Well, take the sauce sans the wings and add tots. What have you got? Sticky tots.
I should be a poet. For reals.
Now, I’m thinking a pool of maple syrup might be fun…..
Asian Barbecue Sticky Tater Tots with Toasted Sesame Seeds
1 bag frozen or homemade tater tots
3/4 cups hoisin sauce
1/4 cup Asian chile sauce
1/4 cup unseasoned rice vinegar
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons fresh ginger
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
2 tablespoons green onions, sliced thinly, garnish
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Place tots on baking sheet and bake for about 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown. Meanwhile, add hoisin, chile sauce, rice vinegar, chicken stock, ginger, sesame oil, salt & pepper to a saucepan. Bring to a slight simmer and stir until thickened; about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove saucepan to skillet.
Once the tots are cooked, remove from oven and place into a large bowl. Pour the Asian barbecue sauce over the tots and gently toss. Pour covered tots into a serving bowl and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions. Serve immediately.

A Cork woman has told of her holiday from hell after she found a homeless girl asleep in her bed in their hotel room.
Ciara and her boyfriend Kevin had booked what she described as “the trip of a lifetime to Vegas, Miami and a Caribbean cruise”. But the short trip to Miami ended up being their worst nightmare.
Less than a week before they were due to fly out, Ciara received a call from her travel agent letting her know that their hotel in Miami was changed from a three star one to a four star one, RSVP Live reports.
The Cork woman said that she was told the hotel they were originally meant to stay in was temporarily closed for refurbishments.
After an enjoyable trip to Vegas, Ciara and Kevin flew out to Miami, excited for their stay in a four star hotel - however, the reality was very different.
The hotel was more of, as Ciara describes it “a motel set up”, but they didn’t pay too much attention to this.
“The first night was perfect, we had absolutely no issues,” Ciara explained on The Neil Prendeville Show on Red FM.
The next day, the pair left the hotel at 2.30pm for a day of sightseeing. They returned at 8.30pm that evening and this is where the trouble started.
“Our room was down at the end of a very long, dark and dreary corridor. We went to open our door and the door was unlatched,” Ciara said.
“We thought maybe [housekeeping] closed the door too hard. We thought nothing of it.
“My boyfriend tried to open the door but it wouldn’t work.
He said ‘Ciara, there’s someone in our bed.’ “There was a girl sound asleep, with my eye mask on her, out cold in our bed.”
“I started knocking on the door, knocking on the window asking who they were.
“We eventually woke the girl up, she came out. I don’t want to sound rude, or pretentious or anything because that’s not the type of person I am but you knew straight away by looking at this girl that she was a) homeless and b) a drug addict.”
Ciara added that she felt sorry for the woman, but was concerned for their safety and belongings in their hotel room.
She continued: “I always sympathise with homeless people because you don’t know the circumstances.
“My main concern was has she got a knife, has she got a gun? At this point I rushed down to reception and asked for security to see if they could sort out the issue.”
The woman said the hotel staff were of very little help to her, and refused to call the police to allow them to handle the matter.
After viewing CCTV footage, Ciara said the girl knew exactly how to go into their room, and is suspicious that housekeepers let her in.
“With all respect to the girl, she’s homeless and that’s very sad, but we don’t know what she had on her. As you can imagine, we were so wound up.”
The couple changed room for the night, and the next morning Ciara went to the police to file a report, saying: “to be fair, they couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful.”
While the police were helpful, the couple found it difficult to receive a refund from the hotel and claimed that the travel agent’s customer service was less than satisfactory.
Ciara went on: “What happened in the end was we did get a refund from the hotel in Miami.
“While there, we walked past the hotel we were meant to be in. It was open, it was functional, there were some minor works going on, but nothing to warrant saying the hotel was closed.
“At the end of the day, we sympathise with the girl’s [situation] but there has to be a certain amount of professionalism [when booking holidays.] Our experience we got no professionalism.
“We’re planning next year’s trip already so hopefully we’ve a completely different experience.”

Shine Pre-Loved Pearl Purple Snare Drum
A true rarity to land into our pre-loved section is this Shine 13" x 7" Pearl Purple Finish Snare Drum.
But why is this rare you may ask? Well Shine were an American brand of drum builders who created custom drum and percussion products. For a time we were the only UK distributors of Shine Custom Drums and Percussion, but after their closure in 2011 we thought we'd seen the last of Shine, but low and behold this snare drum has found it's way back to us and we are more than happy to offer one lucky drummer the chance to own a pre-loved Shine snare drum!
This Shine snare drum has a stunningly dense pearl purple laminate wrap finish and has a capable 10ply Keller Shell maple shell, the premium grade maple shell is as all purpose as you could wish for and has been hand treated to ensure the sound and longevity of the drum.
The aesthetic is perfectly complimented by the Shine drum badge, chrome hoops and a Trick GS007 Throw Off System. It also features Remo Ambassador Snare Heads and a PureSound Brass Snare Wire, as well ThreadLOCK Internal Screw Locking. The personal touch is added to this snare, as you will find on the inside of the snare drum, it has been hand signed and dated on the inside with the date,17/8/2010 and a serial number 10848-1.
This is a Pre-Loved item which is sold as seen, the snare drum heads do feature some stick mark signs, but this will not effect the overall sound of the snare drum. Other than signs of general wear and tear there are no distinguishable marks and overall this snare drum is in good condition and has a good chunk of life in it yet.
A huge favourite of ours......

Despite this initial reaction to the city, I began to see a different Detroit as we headed toward the eastern neighborhoods on our bus tour of the city. Dilapidated houses and vacant properties replaced the renovated art deco towers and aesthetic public parks in downtown. Though this was the Detroit I read about online and saw in documentaries, it was surprising to see such a stark contrast between the prospering downtown and an overlooked urban neighborhood.
One notable experience of going to this area of Detroit was viewing the Heidelberg project. At first glance, the “art” appeared to be piles of assorted belongings in a vacant lot. Yet a common theme of clocks and time became visible, suggesting that the time to make a change in the city is now. The Heidelberg Project has significantly changed the surrounding neighborhood by attracting large crowds of visitors like myself, but as I was viewing the art, I wondered what the residents living nearby thought of strangers coming into their neighborhood to observe piles of used shoes, toys, and other miscellaneous items. Is this really the change they want to see in their neighborhood? Are the residents of this eastern neighborhood of Detroit really benefiting from the art project?
It is questions like these that I strive to answer as I help the city “rise from the ashes.” Something that certainly did not surprise me was the conflicting attitudes of MoGo’s presence in the city. This past week, I had the opportunity to speak to members of a company in downtown Detroit about their experience with MoGo. Some employees expressed extreme satisfaction with the bikeshare—They said they used it multiple times a week. Others were not pleased with it in the city, perhaps because its presence indicates the rise of gentrification. As an outsider to Detroit, I cannot give much because I do not know the city well enough to help it recover from years of blight and abandonment; I cannot learn about a city in eight weeks when others have lived here for decades of their lives. But I can share my enthusiasm for dense, walkable cities and desire to critically consider the ways in which social innovations—like shared bikes, urban gardens, or strange public art projects—affect the local community.
