Children of Earth and Sky sees contemporary fiction’s finest fantasist return to the site of the Sarantine Mosaic and the subjects of The Lions of Al-Rassan in a magnificently modest affair more interested in the myriad men and women caught in the crossfire of the holy war that flickers around its fringes than it is that momentous event.
The most apparent casualty of the the conflict so far is the city of cities itself, for just as Constantinople was toppled by the Ottomans, Sarantium in all its unimaginable majesty has finally fallen to the followers of an indomitable conqueror. It’s known, now, as Asharias, “and the man who ruled there amid gardens where silence was apparently the law on pain of strangulation […] wanted to rule the world.” You might imagine his megalomaniacal designs would inspire the several cities in the vicinity to put aside their trivial differences—after all, if Sarantium can be successfully sieged, then nowhere is safe from the Osmanli Empire’s plans to expand.
You’d be mistaken, I’m afraid. Sadly for the people of Seressa and Dubrava, the governing bodies of Kay’s vibrant versions of Venice and Dubrovnik are entirely too dependent on trade to even consider open conflict:
For the Seressinis, the idea of peace, with open, unthreatened commerce, was the most important thing in the god’s created world. It mattered more (though this would never actually be said) than diligent attention to the doctrines of Jad as voiced by the sun god’s clerics. Seressa traded, extensively, with the unbelieving Osmanlis in the east—and did so whatever High Patriarchs might say or demand.
Despite the annual march of the Grand Khalif’s army on the nearby Woberg fortress, Seressa’s Council of Twelve are markedly more active regarding their rivalry with Dubrava, which nation-state they see as “a pale, circumscribed, permitted shadow” next to the “light like the sun of Jad” their own republic represents:
Accidents had happened to Seressinis in Dubrava in the past. The smaller republic was diplomatic, cautious, crafty. It watched the winds of the world. It was also proud of its freedoms. The people of Sauradia and Trakesia, all those over that way, had a history of violence and independence going back to when many of them were pagans in the days of the Sarantine Empire, when Sarantium ruled the world.
But Seressa does not war with duplicitous Dubrava either. Instead, it spies. And spies. And spies, amusingly, on the spies spying on its own spies. As one such one spy sighs when confronted by another: “There was always someone spying. There wasn’t much you could do about it. Information was the iron key to unlock the world.” And granted: important information is important. But only if you’re prepared to translate it into action, and alas, neither Seressa nor Dubrava are.
The pirates of Senjan, on the other hand—a community of holy warriors inspired, according to the Acknowledgements, by the Uskoks of ancient Croatia, and cast here as a thorn in the side of Seressa, whose ships they pillage because of their affiliation with the infidel—the Senjani aren’t given to deliberating. They do, to bring glory to their god, and they die. They’ll have the opportunity to do both before Children of Earth and Sky is over…
This, then, is the grand sweep of Kay’s latest: a contested coast populated by powers little and large on the cusp of a conflict that could change the world as dramatically, perhaps, as the sacking of Sarantium. And it’s engrossing, of course. The stakes are great, the scenario resonantly rendered, and we care about the players—which is to say the many, many people we meet, however briefly, but also the settings themselves. In Senjan, Asharias, Seressa and Dubrava, Kay gives us underdogs to dig in with, bullies to boo, blustering bystanders to bemoan and scrappy upstarts to support. Dynamics are developed between the text’s central perspectives, certainly, but above and beyond these, the places they hail from have a whole engrossing story of their own.
The unfolding of that story is sure to be surmised as slow by some, but Kay has never been the sort of author to race towards a destination. The joy of his novels is invariably in the journeys—in the unexpected turns they take and the caravan of characters they gather—and Children of Earth and Sky is no exception in that respect. “Nothing about this […] requires or is assisted by speed,” as a passing chancellor suggests, supping at a cup of fine warmed wine; a telling testimonial Kay revisits at a later stage:
It is a mistake to think that drama is steady, continuous, even in tumultuous times. Most often there are lulls and lacunae in the life of a person or state. There is apparent stability, order, an illusion of calm—and then circumstances can change at speed.
And what an impact it has when they do! When the calm is shattered by sudden stormfronts; when the journey is interrupted by bandits or betrayal or some twist of history that’s happened in the background; when the large is inflicted on the unwitting little—this, I think, is what Children of Earth and Sky is most interested in. Not the Earth-changing events themselves—though they happen, and Kay’s cast is caught up in them—but the effects these events have on a handful of human beings pulled principally from “the twinned worlds of commerce and courts.”
They are Marin Djivo, Leonora Valeri, Pero Villani, Danica Gradek and Damaz. They are the second son of a successful merchant, the disgraced daughter of a well-to-do family which cast her off like old clothing, an aspiring artist asked to paint an important portrait, a young woman who wants nothing more than to hurt those who hurt her, and her abducted brother.
They are not queens or commanders or even advisers, these people, but that does not mean they are unremarkable. They are not causal in the changing of the world, but the changing of the world causes their worlds to change—and their worlds are not without worth; they have magic and meaning, heartache and horror, hope and beauty and truth, too. As the Seressini ambassador has it: “Not everyone could be a master. You could shape an honourable life somewhere below that level of accomplishment. It felt like an important thought.”
And it is, in the hands of contemporary fiction’s finest fantasist. A book of the year to be about ordinary people not so different from you and me, Children of Earth and Sky is every inch the equal of the superlative Sarantine Mosiac, “even if no one worked with stone and glass anymore.”
Children of Earth and Sky is available now in the US (Penguin) and May 12th in the UK (Hodder & Stoughton).

Ronald McDonald House Charities of Texarkana recently donated $7,500 to the 2016 Kids’ College Program at the University of Arkansas at Hope-Texarkana. The grant is to be used for student scholarships and supplies for teachers. A check was presented by Celia and Steve Montgomery, owners of several McDonald’s restaurants including locations in Hope and Nashville, AR. These local restaurants help fund the RMHC donations by participating in the Donation Box Fundraiser Program. The Montgomery’s and RMHC have provided this grant to Kids’ College since its inception in 2006.
Kids’ College is a summer enrichment program offering stimulating subject matter to students in first through sixth grade. Each session is a week-long college campus experience that fulfills the need for positive summer activities, provides young learners with the excitement of learning, and introduces them to the campus and the concept of higher education.
This year Kids’ College will be partnering with Sciensational Workshops for Kids, Inc., to provide the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) program for 5th through 6th grade students. Sciensational Workshops for Kids, Inc., provides the highest quality programs to make science interesting, fun, and educational for elementary school age children in a hands-on approach. These classes will provide students with course work in robotics, engineering, aeronautics design, and much more.
Last year, 379 children participated over a three-week period and a record 140 students were awarded tuition scholarships totaling $9,800. Foundation Director Jill Bobo stated, “This would not be possible without help from Ronald McDonald House Charities of Texarkana and the Montgomery’s.”
For more information about Kids’ College at UAHT, please contact Lorena Cuellar at 870-722-8102.

What does the Annual Fund Support?
The Annual Fund helps support the following areas of interest. Supporters have the ability to direct a donation to a specific area of interest or to our area of greatest need. *
- Academic Programming: Professional development, curriculum enhancements & experiential learning
- The Arts: Build and enhance our visual, musical and performing arts program
- Campus Enhancements: Maintenance and improvements of the facilities & grounds
- Student Assistance: Need based scholarships and financial aid
- Areas of Greatest Need: Unrestricted giving
* we reserve the right to reallocate funds if the needs for a specific area of interest are met
What are the levels of giving?
- Visionary Level: $25,000+
- Wilson Level: $15,000-$24,999
- Head of School Level: $10,000-$14,999
- Stewardship Level: $5,000-$9,999
- Friends Level: $1,000-$4,999
- Community Level: Up to $999
Why am I being asked to support the Annual Fund in addition to paying tuition?
Tuition alone does not cover the full expense for a student to attend Virginia Beach Friends School. As an independent school and 501(c)3 non-profit organization, VBFS relies on the generosity of our community to make up the gap between expenses and revenue from tuition and fees. While we are in a growth period for the academic year 2020-2021, tuition revenue and fees only cover 50% of VBFS’ operating costs; the remaining is covered by generous donors. The gap is approximately $6,000 per student.
Why not raise tuition?
No independent school could charge the full cost of educating its students without pricing itself out of the market. That’s why every independent school has an Annual Fund. At our current tuition levels, the school can make a private education more affordable to more families. Many families appreciate the opportunity to claim a tax deduction; gifts to the school are tax deductible, but tuition is not.
Who supports the Annual Fund?
We strive to receive 100% participation from current families, trustees, faculty, staff, grandparents and friends. We also appreciate the support of the community at large.
How much should I give?
You are the only one who knows how much you are able to give, and we ask only that you give to the best of your ability. If you feel you are of average means within the community then please give accordingly. If you can give more, please do so. Every gift is important and sends a message of strong support for the school and our students. While your children are enrolled at VBFS, we do ask each family to make the school a philanthropic priority.
Are there other fundraising activities besides the Annual Fund at VBFS
Yes. In addition to asking everyone in the school to participate in the Annual Fund, we have several events and ongoing projects each year that strive to raise significant funds, such as the Fall Festival and Founders Day. VBFS is 100% transparent in all fundraising initiatives with our community and will only ask when needed.
Why is 100% participation important?
The school’s financial strength is dependent upon the participation of all members of its constituency. Participation sends a strong message of support for the school and our students as well as our governing bodies (Virginia Association of Independent Schools and the National Association of Independent Schools). In addition, many grants that the school applies to requires a proof of 100% participation among their community.
May I make a pledge in fulfillment of an Annual Fund Gift?
Yes. Gifts to the Annual Fund Campaign may be fulfilled by pledges and you may pay in installments. To work out a monthly installment schedule for your donation, please contact Director of Development, Anna Canada at [email protected] or 757-428-7534.
Can I donate stock to the Annual Fund?
Yes. This is a great way to make a gift to the school. Giving securities provides you with a tax deduction for the appreciated value of the stock without incurring capital gains tax. CFO Candice Jarden would be very pleased to provide you with details on how to make stock gifts, you can contact her at [email protected] or 757-428-7534.
Have more questions?
For more information, please do not hesitate to contact please contact Director of Development, Anna Canada at [email protected] or 757-428-7534.

Echo Lawrence - December 15, 2021
Bella Hadid is one of the biggest top models out there right now, having walked the runway for some of the biggest brands in fashion. So it's weird to see her going back to her roots as a Victoria's Secret model, we were pretty sure that brand died, but here we are.
Bella is back with the brand to promote their new Dream Angels collection and can be seen below posing in the new Lightly Lined Lace-Up Bra. Shop Bella's look here and see more Bella updates in the gallery!

The Aqaba International Industrial Estate (AIIE) is a premium location in Jordan manufacturing and logistics, located next to Aqaba Airport and 15km from Jordan’s only seaport in the Aqaba Special Economic Zone (ASEZ). Sheldon Fink is chairman and CEO of PBI Aqaba Industrial Estate, the UK-registered, 50% Turkish, 50% US-owned company that operates the facility.
When do you believe you’ll reach your $1 billion milestone?
Today, we’re at $600 million and have created 2,500 jobs, but based on total signed contract and buildings under construction, we will have $1 billion of investment under management within the next year. For example, the US Agency for International Development has now developed programs that go straight to private business. We’re working with them on a $100-million deal, where USAID has agreed in principle, and we hope to complete the deal by the end of the year. Until now, big projects here were up to $50 million, and now we have $200- or $300-million projects in the pipeline.
You have been considering two possible expansion projects, one near the new port, the other at Quaira. What progress can you share with us?
We had to choose between the two sites, because we can’t do both at one time. We signed an outline agreement for Quaira at the World Economic Conference at the turn of the year, and operations could start in the beginning of 2020. Moreover, we are working together with ASEZA to close a deal with an anchor investor from Germany.
You’ve mentioned hi-tech as the type of companies you want to attract, as well metals, security, garments, plastic and food industries that are already here. What areas are your particular priorities?
We are trying to attract industries that have hi-tech products, as well as producers of low-tech products that use high-tech manufacturing. We have one company that makes special kinds of LED lighting: streetlights but with much higher efficiency and longer life, as well as greenhouse growth lighting. A Chinese company we found that developed this technology started up here a couple of months ago. They did a first small series of streetlights locally, and now installed lights in a model greenhouse in a project supported by the king of Norway and the king of Jordan, called the Sahara Forest Project.
Has the relaxed rules-of-origin deal with the EU help?
The rules of origin from the original agreement were in favor of Europe against Jordan. There were many issues but especially the requirement for a high percentage of European source materials, even though Europe is no longer a competitive producer of such materials. Jordan could never get to a point where they could sell anything. Now, when the Europeans relaxed the rules of origin, they tied it to locations and the employment of Syrian workers.
How do you think Jordan could benefit from better communication about its safety, its opportunities, and where the country is headed?
Jordan should make use of foreign investors, together with the entrepreneurial part of the Jordan business community in communicating to potential new investors. Till now Jordan, has been communicating through government officials. But you can’t just say this is a great place; you have to list the problems and say this is how you overcome them. The best approach is to get investors to come here, then it will be much better than they expect. The reality is better than the story.

The older I get, the easier it is for me to be empathetic. It wasn’t always that way. For more years than I’d like to admit, I was stubborn and bull-headed. For the longest time, it was “my way or the highway!” I still have flashes of that attitude. It doesn’t hurt to stand your ground from time to time. However, today I also strive to be more empathetic when needed.
The dictionary offers a number of definitions for empathy but the following pretty well sums up the concept: “The ability to put one’s self into the psychological frame of reference or point of view of another, to feel what another feels.”
Now, in my view, that doesn’t mean that I have to agree with someone else’s point of view. It simply means that I try to understand how they feel about something. It goes a long way in helping me better communicate with that person.
I’m also a people watcher. I’ve found that it’s a tremendous way of learning people skills and discovering how we all differ in our thinking. I’m fortunate in having many opportunities to people watch. I spend a lot of time in airports in the midst of thousands of people from different locations. I do a lot of work in many large cities populated with people from locations far and wide.
At a recent leadership seminar, I was sitting at a table during a break having a Coke with 8 to 10 participants. Somehow the conversation turned to voting, and it didn’t take long for things to get heated. Half the group felt it was a privilege and responsibility to vote and that every citizen should do so at every opportunity … local, state and federal.
The other half of the group felt voting was a choice, and it came with more negatives than positives. I must admit that I’ve always leaned toward the philosophy of the first group. However, it was interesting to listen to, and empathize, with those sharing the alternative philosophy.
Here are a couple of reasons they shared:
- “I don’t vote because registering places my name on the jury duty list, and I can’t afford to take time off work for jury duty at $12 a day! I have a family to feed.”
- “I don’t vote because I don’t approve of or agree with either candidate. If you had a choice of voting for a proven thief or a proven liar … which would you choose if you didn’t want either leading your city, state or country? Would you vote for one of those two simply because you had the privilege of voting.”
- “Why is it we have 50 choices for Miss America and only two, neither of which I approve of, for the highest office on earth—President of the U.S.?”
- “Why should I take the time off work to vote when the last three elections have proven that my vote meant nothing. The election was decided by those in power—not the popular vote.”
- “We can put a man on the moon and transplant a living heart, but we can’t properly count votes for something as critical as President of the U.S.!”
Listening to these comments and watching the sincerity with which they were shared, I suddenly had a greater respect for empathy. I didn’t have to agree with any one of those positions, but I could understand where they were coming from.
Last year more people voted for American Idol than they did for President of the United States! Maybe it’s time for those in power to be more empathetic and strive to address some of these issues that currently prevent so many from exercising this critical right to vote.
Instead, we see them on TV screaming at each other and calling each other liars. Maybe this would be a good time for some empathy.
By the way, as for those on break during the seminar … neither side budged an inch!

South Africa is a diamond-rich country. However, it’s important to understand that diamond jewellery is not all diamonds. In fact, diamonds are an extremely misunderstood commodity due to the many false beliefs about diamonds that you might have heard. This article will enlighten you about some of the false beliefs surrounding diamonds, which you should think twice about before you purchase an item of diamond jewellery or make a purchase at a diamond shop.
The Star of South Africa, sometimes called the Dudley Diamond, is an artificially created diamond found on the banks of Lake Makgadikgadi in South Africa. The diamond fields which produce this one gemstone are some of the most highly prized worldwide. The Star of South Africa is also referred to as the Diamond of the Month. It is so rare that the International Diamond Council has assigned it a level of security above diamond security standards. The Diamond of South Africa was also ranked number 7th in the list of the world’s most precious stones, making it one of the most expensive gems in the world.
Many people believe that the famous South African diamond, the Star of South Africa actually formed in south Africa itself. This is not true. The discovery was made by scientists in Chicago, Illinois. When these scientists confirmed the identity of this diamond and named it the Star of South Africa, they announced that it is the most rare natural diamond ever found.
There is also a famous magazine called Monthly Journal of the Geological Society of South Africa. This popular magazine features articles written by leading South African scientists and other notable individuals in the field of science and nature. Each issue of this popular magazine has a feature story written by well-known scientists and prominent personalities. One of the famous stories in this magazine includes an article entitled “Diamonds of the Month – A New Discovery”, written by William Leise.
This article provides information on the history of South Africa diamonds, mining industry, diamond deposits, diamond cutting industry, government policies, the cutting industry in South Africa and its future prospects. This is the most informative and comprehensive magazine that covers all aspects related to diamond production and trading. Other articles in this series include “A Brief History of South African Diamonds”, “Diamond Basics”, “Botany 101 – The South African Edition” and “The Making of South African Diamonds”. These stories and articles not only provide valuable information on the South African diamond deposits but also give a background on how the industry came into being and provide an insight on how it is progressing.
The South Africa diamond deposits are believed to be a great reservoir of natural diamonds. The discovery of these deposits has increased the demand for diamond jewelry worldwide and brought many big names into the market including De Beers, De Rubens, world’s largest diamond producer. There have been no fewer major or minor players in the diamond industry in south Africa than any other place in the world. This combined with the diamond discovery is bringing major change to the way diamonds are cut, manufactured and marketed to bring about great changes in the lifestyle of South African citizens.

Ratings and Reviews
It’s pretty good. My only critics I have while using this app are one, not enough options for popular shapes. For examples, such as arc, arrow shapes like chevron or curved, teardrops, pentagon or equation shapes. Also another thing, I don’t know if it is my phone or the app. (I’m sorry, but I’m going to assume already that it is the app. I don’t have any problems when I get into other apps on my phone.) Anyway while using the app, there is a technical issue- there were times where the screen freezes for a few seconds every time I change the color or maneuver the design. Overall it’s okay. Again, just need more options on designs and technical issues.
It’s a pretty good app I love making logos and as a 10 year old who has literally made her own business, I think it’s cool but my only problem is the text. If I type in the word toy, and then try to change the font, it completely deletes the o and y and it doesn’t even except the letter y and it just very frustrating depending im also making my own app and can’t make a good logo pls fix this and you get the 5 star review you deserve but until then it’s a 4 star from me
Finally a useable free logo app!
After searching the App Store for a logo app with free content I finally found this one. I didn’t want an app with a subscription, I just wanted to make a simple two word logo in black and white. Tried several apps that said they were free but ultimately required you to either pay for the simplest things or like them on Facebook for limited use (I don’t do Facebook). This one was a snap. Two minutes and I had exactly what I wanted. I don’t mind paying for apps but not when I know I will never use them again. So... give this a try, it’s well worth it.

How governments have:
- Cruelled the housing aspirations of millions of low and middle income households
- Disempowered and impoverished families and individuals
- Entrenched intergenerational inequity
- Weakened free enterprise, property rights, economic freedom and individual liberty; and
- Like China’s One Child Policy, set ticking a time bomb that will cause a catastrophic social and economic burden for future taxpayers
House prices matter. A lot.
In the 18 years since the new millennium, the median house price in most large American/Canadian/British/Australian/New Zealand (ACBANZ) cities has risen from an average three times median income to more than six times median income and in some cities more than nine times median income. That is, in real terms, allowing for inflation, a doubling, and in some cases a tripling, of the cost of housing.
At six times median household income a family will be required to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars more of their money on mortgage payments and local government shire council rates, land taxes and stamp duty based on property values, than they would have, had house prices remained at three times the median income. That’s hundreds of thousands of dollars they are not able to spend on other things – clothes, cars, furniture, appliances, travel, movies, restaurants, the theatre, children’s education, charities and many other discretionary purchase options.
The distortion in housing markets and the misallocation of resources is enormous by any measure and affects every other area of a nation’s economy. New home owners pay a much higher percentage of their income on house payments than they should and renters pay increased rental costs as a result of the higher capital and financing costs paid by landlords.
The capital structures of these nations’ economies have been distorted to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars and for those on middle and low incomes the prospect of ever becoming homeowners has all but vanished. The social and economic consequences of this change will be these nations’ equivalent of China’s disastrous One Child Policy.
The consequences are as profound as they are damaging and getting things back into alignment is going to take some time. But it is a realignment that is necessary. A terrible mistake was made and it needs to be corrected.

Home ownership has long been a feature of ACBANZ life. During the 50 years following World War II, levels of home ownership rose steadily from around 50 per cent in 1945 to over 70 per cent by 1995. Home ownership had become both a symbol of the equality ACBANZ families shared, and a means through which an average family could provide security and stability while building wealth and claiming a tangible stake in their nation. For the vast majority, owner-occupation of the home in which they live was, and remains, a great ambition.
This aspiration, so deeply entrenched in the national psyche, was perfectly described by Australian Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies in his “Forgotten People” address of 1942. He recognised the moral, social and emotional importance of the family home:
“The material home represents the concrete expression of saving ‘for a home of our own’. Your advanced socialists may rage against private property (even whilst they acquire it); but one of the best instincts in us is that which induces us to have one little piece of earth with a house and a garden which is ours, to which we can withdraw, in which we can be among our friends, into which no stranger may come against our will.”
Prime Minister Menzies understood that the human instinct to build and bequeath a home, sent lasting ripples through every aspect of social and economic life.
Extensive national and international research confirms what we intuitively know, namely, that home owners have better health than their renting peers and children from low income families who live in a home owned by their parents, do better than children from low income families who live in rented accommodation. Home owners have a tangible stake in their community. They live where they choose and for as long as they choose. Unlike renters, they do not face the prospect of having to pack up the family and move on at the expiration of a lease. Nor do they face ever-increasing rents for a property in which they will never have a stake. Home owners have greater self-confidence, they move less frequently, they are more involved in their communities, and their children are also more likely to become home owners. In addition, they have significantly greater wealth and, in communities where home ownership levels are high, crime is lower, household incomes are higher and some studies even show divorce rates to be lower. “Emotional security, stability, and a sense of belonging” are listed as the top reasons for home ownership followed by “financial security and investment”.
In recent years however, a disturbing trend has emerged in the level of home ownership among young families. It is in substantial decline. Whilst those who bought into the housing market before 1999 when prices were low have done well, those who bought after 1999 have had to take out big mortgages in order to enter the market.
2. The West’s ‘One Child Policy’ – consequences of high housing costs
A disturbing socio-economic shift is occurring. A schism, a rupture, creating a new ‘haves and have nots’ split between largely older existing home owners who as a result of soaring property prices have accumulated significant wealth, and younger, would-be home owners. Housing is being consolidated into the hands of fewer and fewer people. Homelessness is growing. And as populations grow, the situation is worsening. Low income people – young people in particular, are spending a much higher percentage of their income – up to 50%, on housing costs than previous generations at the same age, and the number of young people in rental accommodation has doubled. The number of years to pay off a home loan has increased dramatically and the number of people who are ‘mortgage free’ by age 50 has halved. And the number of first home buyers receiving assistance from family and friends has doubled since the 1970s.
As high housing costs raise the cost of living and reduce the standard of living, places which have the highest housing costs eg California, also have the highest poverty rates.
Low income households in particular have been disproportionately affected by the rise in house prices. Their spending on housing as a percentage of their income has risen significantly more than households in higher income brackets.
The severity of the problem is also being masked by low interest rates. An interest rate rise would be catastrophic for the many home owners who have borrowed huge sums in order to enter the market highlighting the danger of measuring affordability, as some do, by the capacity to meet mortgage payments, rather than the total amount owed.
In creating the conditions for housing to become the privilege of the few rather the rightful expectation of the many, governments have produced intergenerational inequity and breached the moral contract between generations which dictates that we should leave things better than we found them.
In making housing much less affordable for the next generation it has denied them much more than a roof over their heads, it has denied them the security and benefits that go with home ownership and the opportunity to provide options for themselves in later life.
Those who own their homes have much more control over their lives. They can choose where they will live and how they will live. Many are now choosing to defer having a family in the hope that they will be able to somehow put together the funds to buy a home later in life. If they can’t afford to buy a house they reason, they certainly can’t afford to have children.
With changing demographics – the number of taxpayers supporting non-taxpayers, it is imperative that as many citizens as possible own their homes by the time they retire. Aged pensions were not designed to cover mortgage or rent payments. National governments who are responsible for aged pensions, and future taxpayers will have a massive problem on their hands.
This massive escalation in the price of housing carries with it a multitude of detrimental impacts. Establishing affordable rental accommodation for those in greatest need becomes even more difficult for social and public housing authorities as they seek to purchase land and houses in a greatly inflated market. Road widening and major infrastructure projects experience cost blow-outs as land acquisition costs skyrocket, and establishing schools, community centres, health services and business facilities becomes difficult, and at times impossible. The whole community suffers as a result of increased tax, transaction, finance and establishment costs.
High house prices also distort labour markets. Cities would benefit greatly if people could afford to live in them. Instead they live elsewhere depriving cities and creating labour shortages.
German economists are said to be baffled by reports that rising house prices in many western countries are deemed to be ‘good news’. In Germany, inflation in house prices, like inflation in energy prices or food prices, are considered just the opposite. How can it be “good news”, they ask, when it now takes two incomes to support a mortgage when previously young couples could buy a home and raise a family on one? Or that a homebuyer will pay many hundreds of thousands of dollars more in mortgage payments and government taxes and charges than would otherwise be the case?
The answer of course is not economics but politics. As house prices rose dramatically in recent years, political parties reaped the political benefits. Voters felt richer. But this is now backfiring. High house prices are no longer viewed as a political asset but a liability – particularly for conservative or right-of-centre parties which have traditionally embraced home ownership as an article of faith. A policy space they once owned now represents a real and present danger. They are in danger of being judged by their electorates as having failed. Like the prisoner on death row whose imminent demise ‘focuses the mind’, the politics of housing affordability is putting the political class on notice. Governments which trumpet a $1,000 a year tax cut are failing to do anything about a $10,000 a year increase in mortgage costs.
China’s ‘Great Wall of Family Planning’ was one of the boldest policies any nation has implemented. However, 35 years on, the policy’s disastrous effects are becoming more and more evident. The policy has upended traditional structures for supporting older generations and caused social unrest that will be felt for decades to come.
The Chinese government has since acknowledged the disastrous social consequences of the gender imbalance as a result of its one child policy. The shortage of women has increased mental health problems and socially disruptive behaviour among men, and has left many men unable to marry and have a family. The scarcity of females has resulted in kidnapping and trafficking of women for marriage and increased numbers of commercial sex workers, with a potential resultant rise in human immunodeficiency virus infection and other sexually transmitted diseases. There are fears that these consequences could be a real threat to China’s stability in the future.
Housing is slowly undermining western economies like China’s policy is undermining its social demographic structure. It is a massive government-mandated constriction of supply – not of citizens but of houses.
China has abandoned its policy mistake. The west needs to do the same before it passes the point of no return.
3. The immutable laws of supply and demand – the causes of high housing costs
It was once the case that if a person, or indeed a country, knew how to make something, the world would beat a path to its door. The factories and mills of 19th Century England bore witness to the power of being able to make things. Britannia ruled the waves. Today, manufacturing is global. From motor vehicles to whitegoods, kitchen appliances to widescreen TV sets, personal computers to cell phones, the world is awash with supply – and demand. And yet despite this ever-increasing demand, prices continue to fall.
Despite numerous dire warnings over the past 200+ years – most notably Thomas Malthus’ 1798 book ‘An Essay on the Principle of Population’, predicting population growth would eventually exceed food production resulting in famine and starvation, even global food supply continues to exceed demand by a considerable margin.
So why does housing – a simple manufactured product, defy this trend? Why does a house, which like other manufactured goods contains readily accessible components, increase in price out of all proportion to other consumer products?
Under normal market conditions, when demand increases, prices rise and markets respond with increased supply thereby reducing prices.
Demand stimulators like immigration, low interest rates, favourable tax treatments and first home buyer grants have unquestionably increased demand for housing. However increases in demand do not, of themselves, cause prices to rise. The exponential increases in demand for cell phones, laptops and plasma televisions in the first decade of the new century for example did not lead to increases in price. In fact the opposite occurred – prices fell, in some cases by more than half, due to increases in supply of these goods. The post-war population explosion ‘baby boom’ was matched by increases in housing supply but house prices barely moved.
So what has gone wrong?
On the fringes of most cities there is a more than adequate supply of cheap land available and housing industries ready, willing and able to put good quality houses on it at competitive prices.
So why are houses not being built on this cheap land? Cheap land attracts not only home buyers but commercial interests as well, leading to enhanced employment opportunities.
Whenever there is money to be made, opportunities to do business with governments present themselves – particularly in tightly controlled markets like land. Relationships between business people and governments are as old as regulation itself.
What can give these relationships real potency however is what’s been called the ‘Baptists and the Bootleggers’ phenomenon. The term stems from the Prohibition days, when members of the US government received private donations from Bootleggers – rent-seeking business people eager to maintain a scarcity (and resulting high price) of their product (alcohol). These same Members of Congress then justified maintaining the prohibition by publicly adopting the moral cause of the Baptists who were extolling the evils of the product.
So it is with land development. Political parties are lobbied by and receive donations from property developers keen to maintain the scarcity of the product (zoned land), which results in higher property prices. The members of parliament then get on the property-owning bandwagon themselves and, keen to maintain their own new-found wealth, publicly support urban planners who continually rail against the so-called evils of ‘urban sprawl’, none of which stands up to scrutiny. The resulting urban growth boundaries which restrict home building activity through zoning laws, force new home buyers into high density housing developments downtown (CBD) and in inner suburbs, and are a classic example of the Baptists and the Bootleggers phenomenon at work – the monetisation of urban planning. Property bootleggers often respond by saying more fringe land does not need to be rezoned (from low value rural to high value residential) because “there is 15 years supply of (high value) zoned land available” – owned by them of course. Price is not mentioned. At current prices, the land may well take 15 years to sell. Price matters. If they doubled the price they would have 30 years of land available, as that’s how long it would take to sell. If they halved the price the land would be sold in less than 2 years. The price difference between land zoned for housing and land not zoned can be as much as 100 times. The incentive for land owners to engage in everything from misconduct to outright corruption is immense in pursuit of either the windfalls available in the case of owners of unzoned land, or to maintain asset values in the case of those holding large tracts of zoned land.
Claims that urban sprawl is bad and that urban densification or urban consolidation is good for the environment, or that it stems the loss of agricultural land, or that it encourages people onto public transport, or that it saves water, or that it leads to a reduction in motor vehicle use or that it saves on infrastructure costs for government are false. Urban consolidation is an idea that has failed all over the world. Whether it’s traffic congestion, air pollution, the destruction of bio-diversity or the unsustainable pressure on electricity, water, sewage, or stormwater infrastructure, urban densification has been a disaster. Urban consolidation is not good for the environment, it does not save water, it does not lead to a reduction in motor vehicle use, it does not result in nicer neighborhoods, it does not stem the loss of agricultural land, it does not save on infrastructure costs for government and worst of all it puts home ownership out of the reach of those on low and middle incomes. Sir Peter Hall of the London School of Economics claims, “The biggest single failure of urban densification has been affordability.”
This limiting of housing on the urban fringes of cities distorts the inner suburban market where the ‘Save our Suburbs’ groups – committed to maintaining the character of existing suburbs by limiting the amount of additional in-fill housing, are highly effective. This further exacerbates the supply/demand distortion.
And it’s not as if high rates of construction of high density housing apartments – a favourite of urban planners, leads to improved housing affordability. Sydney, Toronto and Vancouver which have seen very high rates of high rise apartment construction are among the worst cities in the world in terms of affordability. Here again, planning restrictions limiting the number of apartments per site in the form of height restrictions add hundreds of thousands of dollars to the cost of an apartment. In Sydney for example, the average construction cost of a high rise apartment is $430,000 whereas the sale price is over $800,000.
And it is young home buyers, hit with the spiralling costs of home ownership who end up paying. Whilst it is true there has been an increase in younger people preferring downtown (CBD) apartment living, they are mostly forced into these overpriced units without being given the choice of a low cost, free-standing home of their own on the fringe. Given the price distortions inherent in today’s housing market, it is impossible to know what the trade-off points might be between downtown living, size of home, large backyard, children, pets, and suburban living.
Given housing is such a political hot potato, governments have responded. But unlike ‘the war on drugs’ where governments’ primarily focus on trying to limit supply, with housing, the overwhelming response by governments has been calls to limit demand – lower levels of immigration, the removal of favourable taxation treatments – negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts and bank lending restrictions.
These are merely window dressing, and, together with measures like changes to self-managed superannuation fund rules, pension rules, first home owner grants, shared equity schemes, social/public/community housing projects, deposit saver accounts, stamp duty exemptions for people down-sizing, congestion taxes, land taxes, negative gearing, capital gains tax, bank lending restrictions (eg requiring banks to have less than 30% of loans as ‘interest only’) they are totally ineffectual at solving the affordability problem.
4. Red tape, green tape, housing taxes, zoning taxes, development charges
Planning controls, development restrictions, environmental regulations, multiple jurisdictions, minimum lot sizes, lengthy approval processes, ‘developer’ contributions, ‘affordable housing’ requirements on new housing developments … building a house is no longer a simple matter. What has for centuries been an uncomplicated industry has become mired in planning rules and regulations which have sent prices skyrocketing. Restrictive planning rules – effectively housing taxes, now account for up to 50% of the cost of a house.
Traditionally, actual land costs have been no more than 20% of the total cost of a house and land package. Average construction costs have also been fairly consistent across most jurisdictions at approximately $1,000 per square metre or $100 per square foot, a figure that has changed little in over 30 years. This equates to an average construction cost of a 150 square metre or approximately 1,500 square foot starter home of $150,000. Likewise land development costs – roads, water, sewage, power, telecommunications, footpaths and street signage, across most jurisdictions are consistently around $40,000 per lot. Add profit margin and raw land costs of $10,000 per lot for a total house and land of $200,000
– three times median incomes. In places where there is light planning regulation, new homes can be purchased for this price. In places where there is heavy planning regulation, new homes are more than double this price.
The affordability of housing is overwhelmingly a function of one thing – the extent to which governments impose rules and regulations over the construction of houses and land allotments.
In essence, what has been described as a ‘housing affordability’ problem is simply a ‘land affordability’ problem.
Ludwig von Mises, one of the most notable economists and social philosophers of the twentieth century, made a striking observation about those who seek to exert their planning influence on the lives of ordinary people:
“The planner is a potential dictator who wants to deprive all other people of the power to plan and act according to their own plans. He aims at one thing only: the exclusive absolute pre-eminence of his own plan.”
Most urban planning can be traced back to the UK’s 1947 Town & Country Planning Act. For the past 70 years this template has been an enduring testimony to both the folly of government bureaucratic interference and the dogged and blind adherence to a flawed dogma.
Over 70 books are currently in print on government policy failures– from World War 1 to the space shuttle disasters to the global financial crisis and associated credit rating fiascos to foreign policy disasters. These include ‘The Sleepwalkers: How Europe Went to War in 1914’ (Clark); ‘The Blunder of our Governments’ (Crewe & King); ‘Understanding Policy Fiascos’ (Bovens & ‘t Hart); ‘Not Steering but Drowning: Policy Catastrophes and the Regulatory State’ (Moran); and of course, Sir Peter Hall’s ‘Great Planning Disasters’. In his book, ‘American Nightmare: How Government Undermines the Dream of Homeownership’, Randall O’Toole, one of America’s leading public policy analysts, documents example after example of government planning failures. He demolishes the widely held belief that government planners are somehow smarter or more capable of managing the future than market forces. “Better to fire the planners and let free people, free minds and free markets use the genius of their freedom”, he says.
Where the free market kept house prices affordable for the best part of a century, government interference and price fixing has done the opposite.
Even the 2008 Global Financial Crisis had its origins in the interference of the Clinton and Bush administrations, by instructing banks to extend mortgages to low-paid and minority Americans who were unable to afford them.
Why were people unable to afford homes when the cost of building was low? And, why did the sub-prime crisis affect some States in the US but not others?
The answer to these questions goes to the heart of government failures – central planning, in this case urban planning controls.
These can be traced back even further than Clinton and Bush to Franklin D Roosevelt and his National Housing Act (1934).
The 1934 Act began the practice of lending to minority groups and people on low incomes. The market at the time responded to this government interference with a practice called ‘redlining’ whereby certain areas on maps were identified as being ‘high risk’. This then led to the enactment of the Fair Housing Act of 1968 and subsequently Jimmy Carter’s 1977 Community Reinvestment Act.
Following this came Clinton’s ‘Community Development Financial Institutions Act’ and ‘Low Income Housing Tax Credit’ program of 1994 in which the Clinton Administration pressured US banks and mortgage companies to relax their lending criteria so that minority groups and those on low incomes could buy more houses. At one point, 40% of financial institutions’ loans were to low income people.
What triggered the catastrophe of 2008 however was the added components of ‘new urbanism’ or ‘smart growth’ urban planning laws in many of the large housing markets of the US -California and Florida, in particular, and ‘non-recourse loans’ or ‘jingle mail’ – if a property dropped in value below the amount owing to the bank, the homeowner could simply walk away from the property without being liable for the banks’ losses. The owner simply mailed the keys to the bank, hence the term ‘jingle mail’.
During the 1990s house prices in these highly regulated states rose dramatically on the back of an ‘everything to gain, nothing to lose, non-recourse loan’ mentality and ‘new urbanism’ which severely restricted the supply of land on the urban fringes of many American cities. This was not the case however in low planning regulation states like Texas and Georgia.
The combined effects of mandated lending to low income groups and non-recourse loans together with skyrocketing house prices caused by planning regulations and restrictions in land supply presented lenders with a serious dilemma. Their mandated low income customers could not afford the repayments, so all sorts of financial products were developed
– sub-prime loans and mortgage insurance schemes (derivatives).
As has been sorely realised, anything not based on economic reality is doomed to failure. Sub-prime loans and mortgage insurance derivatives were not economic reality. The fallout sent shock waves across the globe.
After the GFC, headlines like Time Magazine’s, “Home Ownership has let us down” and the Wall Street Journal’s, “Poor better off renting” missed completely the cause of the problem.
5. Free enterprise, property rights, economic freedom and individual liberty
“The poorest man may in his cottage bid defiance to all the force of the Crown. His cottage may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter, the rain may enter—but the King of England cannot enter. All his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement.” –William Pitt, British House of Commons 1763
Without property rights there can be no freedom.
Peruvian economist and author of ‘The Mystery of Capital’, Hernando de Soto, has shown property rights and property ownership have provided a foundation for the development of nations to the benefit of ordinary citizens:
“Legal property gave the West the tools to produce surplus value over and above its physical assets. Whether anyone intended it or not, the legal property system became the staircase that took these nations from the ‘universe of assets’ in their natural state to the ‘universe of capital’ where assets can be viewed in their full productive potential.”
The economic and personal security that comes from investing in your own home delivers, over time, a reduced housing cost and the wide range of future choices that come with having a valuable and tradable asset.
Home ownership gives citizens the asset means to start a business or put children through university. It must not be taken away.
Jane Jacobs, in her book ‘The Life & Death of Great American Cities’ observes, “An economy, if it is to function well, is constantly transforming poor people into middle class people. Planning should cause people to be better off, not worse off.”
Since the industrial revolution, people in developing countries have been flocking to the cities in search of a better life. And whereas in the 18th, 19th & 20th Centuries, cities and suburbs grew to accommodate the influx and working class people became middle class people, 21st Century governments are denying those on low incomes those same opportunities.
Restrictive planning laws take away property rights. They deny land owners the right to develop their land and in doing so disempower families and individuals and empower governments.
Matthew O’Donnell, from the Centre for Independent Studies in Australia states, “The greatest of all forms of spontaneous order is the market system itself. Every day goods and services are bought and sold by the millions without any central planner pulling the strings. It is truly wonderful how our daily needs are met with no one having any semblance of overall control. The burgeoning wealth of capitalist societies compared to the failure of every central planned socialist state confirms that the market system more efficiently allocates society’s resources than any consciously designed system could ever hope to.”
It is the role of government to prevent – certainly not encourage, the enrichment of one group at the expense of another. Impoverishment of one group will eventually lead to the impoverishment of every group. Through housing we are witnessing this first hand.
Housing has gone from a relatively free market to one controlled by rent-seekers and regulators.
The rising generation should not be denied a home of their own merely to satisfy the ideological fantasies of urban planners and the financial interests of rent-seekers. The parents of the rising generation should not be denied the joys of grandchildren because young couples have to work to pay mortgages instead of raising a family. The joke that high mortgages are the new contraceptive is becoming no laughing matter. Young women used to be afraid of getting pregnant, now, as they approach 40, they are afraid of not getting pregnant. Couples should be able to pay off a home loan on one income so they can start a family in their late 20s, not in their late 30s or early 40s.
6. International comparisons
When making international comparisons of housing affordability, it is instructive to compare not just countries but cities, states and provinces within those countries. Housing affordability varies markedly within countries in direct relation to particular cities’ urban planning policies. The disparity within some countries is significant. For example, in Canada’s British Columbia province, Vancouver has a house price to income ratio of 12.6 (the median house price is 12.6 times the median household income) whereas the city of Edmonton in Alberta province has a house price to income ratio of 3.7. In the United States, cities in California – Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Jose and Santa Cruz all have house price to income ratios over 9.0 whereas Cleveland and Cincinnati (Ohio), Oklahoma City (Oklahoma) and St Louis (Missouri) all have house price to income ratios of under 3.0.
International studies show unquestionably a direct correlation between land use regulation and housing affordability – where there is more regulation, houses are less affordable. Demographia’s Annual International Housing Affordability Survey www.demographia.com of nearly 300 housing markets in 9 countries compares house price to income ratios in each city and country.
“For metropolitan areas to rate as ‘affordable’ and ensure that housing bubbles are not triggered, housing prices should not exceed three times gross annual household earnings. To allow this to occur, new starter housing of an acceptable quality to the purchasers, with associated commercial and industrial development, must be allowed to be provided on the urban fringes at 2.5 times the gross annual median household income of that urban market. The critically important “development ratios” for this new fringe starter housing should be 17 23% serviced lot/section cost -the balance the actual housing construction. Ideally through a normal building cycle, the Median Multiple should move from a Floor Multiple of 2.3, through a Swing Multiple of 2.5 to a Ceiling Multiple of 2.7 -to ensure maximum stability and optimal medium and long term performance of the residential construction sector.” -Hugh Pavletich, Demographia Co-Author
In the US, 13 of the 54 major cities surveyed by Demographia are rated as severely unaffordable; in the UK the ratio is 6 out of 21; in Canada 2 out of 6; in Japan, of the two cities surveyed – Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto and Tokyo/Yokohama, Osaka/Kobe/Kyoto has a price to income ratio of 3.5 and Tokyo/Yokohama has a ratio of 4.8. In Singapore the ratio is 4.8, in Ireland, Dublin has a ratio of 4.8 – up from 3.3 in 2011, Galway 4.0, Cork 3.7. Waterford 2.7 and Limerick 2.2. are rated affordable Irish housing markets.
All of Australia’s major markets have urban containment policies and all have severely unaffordable housing – Sydney 12.9, Melbourne 9.9, Brisbane 6.6, Adelaide 6.3 and Perth 5.9.
Australia’s unfavourable housing affordability is in significant contrast to the 3.0 ratio which existed before the implementation of urban containment (urban consolidation/densification) policies.
All 3 of New Zealand’s major housing markets are rated as severely unaffordable – Auckland 8.8, Wellington 5.5 and Christchurch 5.4. Hong Kong has a severely unaffordable ratio of 19.4.
(Demographia’s 14th Annual International Housing Affordability Survey – reproduced with permission).
“Urban Containment Policy: In contrast with well-functioning housing markets, virtually all the severely unaffordable major housing markets covered in the Survey have restrictive land use regulation, overwhelmingly urban containment. A typical strategy for limiting or prohibiting new housing on the urban fringe an “urban growth boundary,” (UGB) which leads to (and is intended to lead to) an abrupt gap in land values. Contrary to expectations that higher densities would lower land costs and preserve housing affordability, house prices have skyrocketed inside the UGBs. This also leads to extraordinary price increases that attract investment (speculation), a factor that has little or no impact on middle-income housing affordability where there is liberal regulation (as opposed to urban containment).” – Wendell Cox – Demographia Co-Author.
According to the latest (2018) UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index, Hong Kong, London, Sydney, Toronto and Vancouver are at the greatest risk of seeing a correction in their house prices.
“Price bubbles are a regularly recurring phenomenon in property markets. The term “bubble” refers to a substantial and sustained mispricing of an asset, the existence of which cannot be proved unless it bursts. But recurring patterns of property market excesses are observable in the historical data. Typical signs include a decoupling of prices from local incomes and rents, and distortions of the real economy, such as excessive lending and construction activity. The UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index gauges the risk of a property bubble on the basis of such patterns. Vastly overvalued housing markets, as measured by the UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index, have historically been associated with a significantly heightened probability of correction and greater downside than housing markets whose prices developed more in line with the local economy. This year’s (2018) UBS Global Real Estate Bubble Index publication reveals the cities in which caution is required when buying a house and the places in which valuations still seem fair. In this edition, Los Angeles and Toronto have been added to the selection of financial centres.” -UBS
Housing affordability has become not just a global problem but a global crisis.
As bad as the aforementioned countries are, the problem is growing faster in developing countries –India, the Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, Central and South America.
Consistent studies show that between 75% – 80% of people across the world would like to own their own homes. And whilst the world is breaking out of poverty at a rate unparalleled in history – from 44% in 1981 to less than 10% in 2015, for the democratisation of wealth to continue, the housing road block must be removed.
7. Recommendations – what to do and what not to do
Regrettably, the general public is profoundly ignorant of the underlying causes of housing unaffordability.
Edmund Burke once said “It is the job of political leaders to teach people that which they do not know”.
Appealing to the political class alone to solve the housing crisis will not suffice. The public needs to be informed of both the causes of the problem and the solution. As former Australian politician Bert Kelly said of protectionism – once considered a settled public policy position, “trade protectionism needs to be made intellectually and morally disreputable.”
First, what not to do. As discussed above, policies which seek to suppress demand -lower levels of immigration, the removal of favourable taxation treatments – negative gearing and capital gains tax discounts, bank lending restrictions, changes to self-managed superannuation fund rules, pension rules, congestion taxes and land taxes, are futile. As are attempts by governments to assist home buyers with first home buyer grants, shared equity schemes, social/public/community housing projects, deposit saver accounts and stamp duty exemptions for people down-sizing.
As for what to do, first and foremost, where they have been applied, urban growth boundaries or zoning restrictions on the urban fringes of cities should be removed. Residential development on the urban fringe should be made “permitted use.” In other words, there should be no ‘zoning’ restrictions in turning rural fringe land into residential land.
Create a low entry level for those wanting to develop housing allotments. Smaller players need to be encouraged back into the market by abolishing compulsory so-called ‘Master Plans.’ If large developers wish to initiate Master Planned Communities, that’s fine, but they should not be compulsory.
Allow the development of basic serviced allotments ie water, sewer, electricity, stormwater, bitumen road, street lighting and street signage. Additional services and amenities – ornamental lakes, entrance walls, childcare centres, bike trails and the like can be optional extras if the developer wishes to provide them and the buyers are willing to pay for them.
No up-front developer or infrastructure charges. All services should be paid for through the rates system – paid for ‘as’ they are used, not ‘before’ they are used.
National or Federal Governments should consider using commerce or corporations powers to override state or city planning laws to allow land holders the right to make their land available for housing.
Similarly, National or Federal Governments which have state or city grants systems should reduce their federal grants commensurate with profiteering from land supply constraints driving up state and/or city tax revenue.
Countries which have strong competition laws should investigate state and/or city planning and/or land management agencies.
Cities should emulate policies where access to home ownership is made easy – Houston and Atlanta in the US, and adopt policies that reflect simplicity not complexity, neutrality not favouritism, transparency not opaqueness, and stability not instability as seen in cities listed on the UBS Bubble Index.
A United Nation’s sustainable development goal is “to ensure adequate housing for all by 2030”.
Without decisive action, this goal will never be achieved.

The All-Time Best Snacks For Healthy Weight Loss
Snacking is somewhat of a controversial topic when it comes to weight loss. On the one hand, strategic snacking throughout the day can help to keep hunger cravings at bay, but on the other hand, mindless snacking can lead to overeating and ultimately weight gain. The key to healthy snacking is to stick to nutritionally dense foods that provide value to your diet and to monitor your intake throughout the day to prevent overconsumption. Here are some of the all-time best snacks for healthy weight loss.
Nuts really are the king of healthy snacks. High in protein, healthy fats, and fiber which all keep you feeling fuller for longer, they’re the perfect snack to eat at home or on the go. Almonds, walnuts, and pecans are some of the most popular nuts to choose from, but hazelnuts, pistachios, brazils, cashews, and macadamias are also great choices and can help to add some variety to your snacking. The key to consuming nuts in a healthy way is to weigh out your portions in advance, otherwise, it is too easy to over-eat them. If you’re a fan of flavored nuts, then stick to savory roasted varieties as these tend to have fewer additional calories than sweet flavorings.
Fresh fruit is another all-time best healthy snack, however, some of us struggle to get excited by an apple or a banana. If you find fresh fruit uninspiring, then give unsweetened dried fruit a go instead. Dried fruit has a completely different texture to fresh fruit, and as such, provides a new eating experience that can make eating fruit more enjoyable. When consuming dried fruit as a snack, you will need to weigh out your portions. This is because without the extra water-weight, dried fruit is a lot easier to eat, and before you know it you could have eaten the equivalent of five mangoes or 20 apricots!
If nuts are the king of healthy snacks, then seeds are the queen. Packed with nutrients, vitamins, and minerals; like nuts, seeds are also a great snack that helps you to feel full for longer. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are two of the all-time great snacking seeds, but if you’re feeling adventurous then you could also try chia seeds which swell to create a delicious glutinous dessert when combined with coconut milk.
If you’re trying to lose weight, then home-made popcorn is a fantastic healthy snack. By popping the kernels yourself, you remain in control over the oil and seasonings that you use, allowing you to keep calories down. Plain popcorn is full of healthy fiber and protein, and because it is so light and airy, a one-ounce serving produces a huge bowl of popcorn that tricks your brain into thinking it has eaten more than it has.
Last but by no means least, chickpeas are a versatile and massively underrated healthy snack. Softened and roasted, chickpeas are a delicious savory snack that can easily replace unhealthy snacks such as chips. Alternatively, if you’re a fan of hummus, then softened chickpeas can be easily blended with a little tahini to make a smooth and creamy high-protein dip for vegetable crudites - delicious!

The University of Kentucky couldn’t silence the powerful College of Charleston offense in an 11-6, season-opening loss to the No. 20 Cougars. UK jumped out to a 3-1 lead on a three-run home run from junior first baseman Braden Kapteyn in the top of the third inning, but College of Charleston answered with four runs in the bottom of the inning to retake the lead. UK tied the game again in the sixth inning with two runs, but the Cougars put the game out of reach with five runs in the bottom of the sixth. Paul Laurence Dunbar alum Casey Lucchese pitched a scoreless ninth inning to close out the game for College of Charleston.
UK freshman left-handed pitcher Corey Littrell took the loss after surrendering five runs on five hits in two and one-third innings pitched. Littrell was effective for his first two innings out of the UK bullpen but imploded in the sixth, surrendering five runs while only recording one out. UK sophomore right-handed pitcher Jordan Cooper struggled in his first start of the season, surrendering five runs on six hits in three innings pitched. At the plate junior designated hitter Michael Williams was 2-3 with two RBI and a walk. Freshman center fielder Lucas Witt was 1-3 with one RBI in his collegiate debut. (Box Score)

- Booklist Reviews : Booklist Reviews 2017 September #1
Microbiologist Lougheed aims at "rebranding TB as a modern monster rather than a mothballed relic of history." Her surprisingly entertaining discussion of tuberculosis is imbued with a quirky sense of humor, weird facts, lots of science, and a healthy respect for the illness. TB is a bigger killer than HIV/AIDS and malaria. It has gone by many names (consumption, the white plague, phthisis); been romanticized; and infected many famous figures, including Keats, Chopin, Gauguin, and Kafka. It is curable but hard to kill, and "TB treatment is a bitch." Typical cases require 6 to 9 months of multiple medications; drug-resistant cases necessitate antibiotic therapy of 20 months or longer. HIV and poverty are TB's partners in crime. Lougheed's biography of this tough mycobacterium includes a discussion of the BCG vaccine, molecular archaeology, sputum culture, drug discovery, and GeneXpert molecular diagnostic testing. She also finds room for giant African pouched rats trained to sniff TB's smell print, an Egyptian mummy, and the peculiar susceptibility of elephants to tuberculosis. A successful introduction to the continued challenges presented by perhaps the deadliest infection in human history. Copyright 2017 Booklist Reviews.
- Kirkus Reviews : Kirkus Reviews 2017 July #1
An exegesis on tuberculosis, a scourge that continues to threaten humanity: in 2015, there were 10.4 million new cases and 1.4 million deaths.London-based microbiologist Lougheed left the TB field after years of drug research that yielded few results. Indeed, her text makes clear that Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a bug that has co-evolved with humans since the birth of our species, acquiring extraordinary survival strategies. When the bugs land in a lung, the immune system sends macrophages to engulf and eat them, but they convert the macrophages to squats and live on various immune cell lipids. In turn, these infested macrophages group into granulomas that cluster in the lung, each with its own ecology. Further complicating the problem of combatting the disease is the fact that M. tuberculosis has an especially thick cell wall. Antibiotics only work against actively growing cells, so if the TB bug is sleeping, it can persist and then become the source of reactivation of a l atent infection. Then there are the bugs with mutations that have resulted in multiply drug-resistant TB. Lougheed examines all these microbe-immune system interactions by dissecting current research papers as though readers were part of a weekly session of post-doctoral candidates keeping up-to-date. (The book could have used further editing for a general audience.) The author also explains the need for daily treatment regimens of multiple pills or injections that can last for years. As Lougheed notes, as well, TB flourishes in the presence of poverty, malnutrition, crowded living conditions, and co-infections. Unfortunately, this makes certain areas particularly vulnerable to the disease, including migrant and refugee camps. Not just a medical history, but a call to action. TB is not some quaint 19th-century romantic tragedy but rather a very real and present danger that requires investments in diagnostics and new drugs and greater attention to social and racial inequities .

- Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 2017 June #1
Causing 1.8 million deaths a year, a count that surpasses that of either malaria or HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB) clocks in as the deadliest infectious disease. TB researcher Lougheed takes a closer look at this ancient yet potentially curable illness that continues to ravage humans around the world, particularly in areas with high poverty and limited access to health care. She has crafted a biography of TB, exploring its historical evolution and humans' response to it. Beginning with the work of molecular archaeologists to diagnose TB in ancient remains, Lougheed moves through history covering a variety of topics such as the migration of TB to all corners of the globe. According to the author, if we ever hope to overcome the disease, a comprehensive, collaborative approach combining science and efforts to combat poverty and improve access to health care will be necessary. With humor and clarity, she skillfully distills the complex science surrounding mycobacterium TB into a comprehensible narrative.Copyright 2017 Library Journal.
VERDICTSure to be appreciated by scientists as well as lay people interested in learning about this persistent disease. Make no mistake, howeverâthis is serious science.âRagan O'Malley, Saint Ann's Sch., Brooklyn
- Publishers Weekly Reviews : PW Reviews 2017 June #4
British medical researcher Lougheed creditably covers the long, painful history of tuberculosis, the world's leading infectious killer, and the impressive recent advances in combatting it. The slow-growing and tough TB bacterium has infected humans since prehistory, but our immune system largely kept it under control up until the industrial revolution, when humans packed into cities and their health and immune systems declined. Improvements in public health after 1900 reduced infections, and it was widely believed that anti-TB antibioticsâwhich were developed after just after WWIIâwould eliminate the threat. But resistance appeared; widespread poverty in the developing world, combined with other diseases attacking the immune system such as HIV, has produced a worldwide epidemiological crisis. Lougheed delivers an expert account of this history, although her efforts to enliven a dismal subject with cheerful anecdotes and jokes do not always succeed. She is at her best when describing the research done in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Dazzling technical advances, new drugs, the development of genomics, insights into the bacterium's metabolism, and massive but halting political efforts may eventually turn the tide, but as Lougheed writes, TB is "very much a disease of the present and, sadly, the future."Copyright 2017 Publisher Weekly.

PROPERTIES OF THIS WATER:
1. ANTIOXIDANT (ANTI-INFLAMMATORY) (Rich in Molecular Hydrogen - H2)
2. Superior HYDRATION and DETOXIFICATION
3. Good ALKALINE (Electrical NOT Chemical)
4. ELECTRICAL CHARGE⚡️ - Healing Is Voltage
MORE VALUABLE INFO BELOW...
"Electrolyzed⚡️ Reduced Water💧" (ERW) is the name of this water most often used in scientific studies.
When you go to PubMed or to Google Scholar and you do a search for "electrolyzed reduced water", you'll see a myriad of scientific studies showing the results of the water.
Kangen Water is Antioxidant-Rich, Healthy Water for Revitalized Cells and a Healthy Alternative to regular Tap and Bottled Water
Kangen Water... (aka electrolyzed reduced water (ERW), or hydrogen water) begins as tap water. The Enagic machine filters out chlorine and other impurities from the tap water, then separates the hydrogen and oxygen with a process known as electrolysis. This process adds an electron to the hydrogen creating a new molecule called diatomic molecular hydrogen gas. When this is added to your drinking water, it produces antioxidant-rich Kangen Water.
Oxidant, by definition, is an oxidizing agent, while antioxidant is any substance that acts to slow or prevent the oxidation of another chemical.
In the human body, oxidative damage has been implicated in many of our modern day diseases such as cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. Antioxidants, on the other hand, act to tame the free radicals (or highly reactive chemicals) in the body that have potential to harm cells and cause disease.
In a scientific study by the National Institute of Health, it was discovered:
"The consumption of hydrogen rich water for 8 weeks resulted in a 39% increase (p<0.05) in antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) and a 43% decrease (p< 0.05) in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) in urine. Further, subjects demonstrated an 8% increase in high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and a 13% decrease in total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol from baseline to 4 weeks."
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
According to this study, those who drank hydrogen-rich water showed a substantial increase in their antioxidant enzymes and a massive decrease in acid in the urine. Further, participants showed a significant increase in HDL the "good cholesterol," and a significant decrease in the "bad cholesterol."
'Electrolyzed Reduced Water' (aka Kangen Water or hydrogen water) has been used in hospitals in Japan for decades. And, now you can make the same alkaline, antioxidant, mineral-rich, pure, safe, and healthy drinking water right in your own home.

Anthony's mother was FURIOUS he brought home the "expensive" Kangen Water machine. She thought it was a scam. But then she drank 1 gallon a day and the REST IS HISTORY!
"As many of you may know my mother was Diagnosed w/ Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's Disease and Diverticulitis all within the past 11 years...
I can't remember a month of her life that she hasn't been sick w/ something and the crazy part about all of this is that I purchased a Kangen machine for her a year ago and was given nothing but grief for it.
6 months ago she came back from the Doctor's w/ her RA specialist and her charts were the worst they have ever been.
Over the past year she had ignored Drinking the water and even had me bring it to my friends house, because she and my father didn't believe in it at all, but after her check up she had absolutely nothing to lose.
3 weeks later she was officially off of her neuropathy medication and after 1 month and 7 days she had 0 signs of Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Crohn's Disease and Diverticulitis...
The doctor was so surprised by this that they ordered her a second screening and once again there were 0 signs of these Life Threatening Diseases.
My mother is the Healthiest I've seen her in my/her entire life and the only thing she changed was her water.
People can give me grief all they want, even she gave me grief, but now...
There is nothing else out there that I can be more proud to put my name on and actually have purpose/passion by sharing the water with the world." - Anthony Striano

NOTE: We have TONS of testimonials. The testimonials posted above are a very small sample. Get back to the person who invited you to this page for more specific information and details on what people have personally experienced with this water.
BEWARE of Imitations or Counterfeits that CLAIM they are the SAME BUT CHEAPER
"I purchased other ionizers prior to Enagic and they were JUNK!!
None of them lasted more than 18 months!
Back then, as a health care practitioner, (who researched on the internet, lol), I warned my clients not to be sucked into that Kangen Water company that was so expensive.
Well, my great research ended up as great lessons for me and hopefully, great advice for others in what NOT to do!
...Once my microbiologist, Alsuna Roland, showed me real results with her clients (no medical testimonials allowed here) I drank Kangen Water and became a true believer."
(Read entire comment in the screenshot below)
Dr. Michael said he bought or tried about 9 other machines from different companies and the only one that produced the water that worked was the Enagic Kangen Water model SD501.
Amazed that the Kangen Water from the SD501 worked when the waters from the other machines did not, he researched to find out why and put his findings in this below presentation.
As of 2020 Dr. Michael said he has now tested 42 machines and the best is still the SD501 and also the new K8 from Enagic, the Kangen Water company.
In the below video, check out the part at about the 21 minute mark where he goes over a very important formula of Watts multiplied by Amps multiplied by Total Surface Area of the electrode plates that determines the Potential Electrolysis Units (PEUs), which is the amount of electricity conducting through the water.
In short, the cheaper machines have about 4% the power on average as the Kangen Water models SD501 and K8 from Enagic.
If you put their electrode plates in the Kangen Water models, their electrode plates would MELT.
So since these imitation machines do not have enough electrical power, then they can't disassociate (break apart) the H2O molecule into H2 and -OH. And thus they typically must add in inorganic minerals to the water when it runs through their filters to artificially raise the pH, similar to baking soda (sodium bicarbonate).
The H2 is the MOST POWERFUL ANTIOXIDANT and ANTI-INFLAMMATORY in the UNIVERSE! H2 is the smallest molecule in the universe, it is able to penetrate into every cell in your body and neutralize free radicals. When you drink "electrolyzed reduced water" you are flooding your body with this H2.
Dr. Michael Explains the 'Competition'
NUTSHELL: In a nutshell, you'll never see a video of any cheaper machine putting a flame to their water, coming out of their cheap machine, and hear this SNAP, CRACKLE, POP.
The other cheaper machines do NOT have enough of a continuous electrical power supply to disassociate the H2O water molecule, by way of electrolysis, into H2 (diatomic hydrogen) and -OH (active oxygen). See below image drawing out what this looks like with the lightning bolt breaking apart the H20 into H2 and -OH.
It's the H2 you hear being ignited that is making that POPPING sound (SEE VIDEO BELOW). The cheaper machines can't produce that H2 in their water, so you won't hear it POP when you put a flame to it.
FIRE🔥 EXPERIMENT: Why "Electrolyzed Reduced Water" aka H2 Water Makes POPPING Sound
The more antioxidant / anti-inflammatory a liquid is, the higher the negative -ORP (mV) reading will be:
If Kangen Water Machines Were Sold In Retail Stores They Would Cost $10,000 or More...
This is an investment into true health and true wealth that pays you back. If these amazing water boxes were sold in retail stores, they would cost $10,000 USD or more, due to the higher costs associated with retail distribution.
But because we spread the message of this water through "We the People", heart-to-heart, home-to-home, friend-to-friend, family-to-family, this actually drives the cost DOWN. Exactly the OPPOSITE of Big Pharma aka Pharmakeia.
The electrode plates that conduct the electricity through the water are made of medical-grade titanium which is about $1,000 an ounce and medical-grade platinum which is about $2,000 an ounce. So that's where the bulk of the cost comes from.
3 Options to Buy Your "Electrolyzed Reduced Water" Machine...
(See Product Photo Gallery Below)
True Health isn't Free. Everything that actually works comes from God and the earth, not from a lab a.k.a. fraudulent pharmaceutical industry. And the things that work are simple.
And each thing that comes from the earth, you need to take the time to invest your labor into planting and growing and developing skills to know how to use each herb or plant or mineral or vitamin and what the uses and applications are of each.
You pay for true health through trading your time and labor for real results. You get what you pay for: TRUE HEALTH.
And it's the same with Kangen Water. It isn't Free initially. (Although it can become so in the end, when you share the water with others and get paid referral checks)
You are more water than anything else, about 75%, so water has the biggest impact on your health. The right water is something SIMPLE and it works, BIG.
I know buying a Kangen Water "machine" seems counter-intuitive that a "machine" creates NATURAL water but it is the very best water found in nature. This process of electrolysis, which occurs in nature such as when lighting strikes, produces the very best water planet earth creates.
The Kangen Water machines simply have captured that lightning bolt⚡️ so you can recreate this very best water that nature creates FRESH and on a daily basis in your home. Over 1 million have been sold worldwide now.
The electricity also destroys the chemicals and poisons in the water by breaking apart the molecules of the substance and destroying it on a molecular level.
On a side note, almost every time you see "sorcery" or "witchcraft" in the Bible, that was translated from the root word, "pharmakeia" which means pharmaceuticals or pharmacy. Now read Revelations 18:23 "for by their sorceries (pharmaceuticals) were all nations deceived."
No wonder some of their most dangerous and deadly things they want to put in your body are "Free" right?
Do the Opposite of Big Pharma!
3 Ways to Buy your "Electrolyzed Reduced Water" Machine:
1st Option: Buy it outright.
We recommend either the SD501 (white/black or stainless steel) for USD $3980 or the K8 for $4980.
2nd Option: No down payment, $45 a month minimum payment, need a credit score of 650 or higher.
Apply and get instant approval for a 0%-interest credit card by clicking button:
You also get a $200 cash back bonus and another 1.5% cash back when you purchase your Kangen Water machine this way.
For the rest of the details of how this works, watch the video at:
3rd Option: Down payment + installment payments.
About a $900 down payment (varies depending on sales tax), $150 a month for 24 months. No credit check, everyone approved instantly.
It's not actually financing, but just breaking up the total cost into payments.
The finance fee is a $10-a-month fee that is included in your down payment amount. And it is refunded back to you for each month early you pay the machine off. For example, if you pay it off 5 months early, you will get back $50.
And remember you can write off your purchase on your taxes and get back up to 1/3 the cost, depending on which tax bracket you fall under.
THE ONLY WAY IT DOES NOT WORK IS IF YOU DO NOT DRINK IT:
I have never had anyone, who drinks the water, send the machine back. The only way it does not work, is if someone does not drink the water. Most people are chronically dehydrated. So to become chronically HYDRATED, you simply need to drink the water.

2. Purchase your Kangen Water machine when you're ready
(We will give you the link to the online store when you ask us for it)
Choose A Model: (Product Photo Gallery BELOW)
We recommend either one of the SD501 models or the K8:
What are the differences?
SD501 has an Antioxidant / Anti-Inflammatory (-ORP) potential of negative -850.
The higher the negative number, the MORE potent the water is, the MORE antioxidant or anti-inflammatory the water is.
SD501 Platinum is exactly the same as SD501 except it has a stainless steel appearance, talks in 5 languages, and is just a tiny bit more compact. It also has the same antioxidant / anti-inflammatory potential of -850.
Super 501 makes the waters twice as fast at about 2 gallons a minute. Comes in handy if you have a lot of animals you want to drink the water, a farm, a large restaurant, hotel, hospital, etc. Waters are the same strengths as the SD501 with a negative -ORP of -850 as well. The difference is this model is twice as big, creates the waters faster.
K8 produces a slightly stronger water than the other SD501 models with a negative -ORP of -900.
The K8 has 8 electrode plates. The SD501 has 7 electrode plates.
For example, 9 glasses of water from the SD501 is about equal to the same amount of antioxidants in 8 glasses of water from the K8. So you really can't go wrong with either the SD501 (white/black, platinum or Super) or the K8. The K8 also has some more bells and whistles like a touchscreen menu and onscreen instructions, etc. And the K8 has a faster flow rate than the SD501 although not quite as fast as the Super 501.
Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (-ORP): (mV) -900
$4980 or $55 a month
(stainless steel appearance)
Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (-ORP): (mV) -850
$4280 or $45 a month
Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (-ORP): (mV) -850
$3980 or $45 a month
(Industrial, Commercial use model)
Negative Oxidation Reduction Potential (-ORP): (mV) -850
$5980 or $65 a month
(Bath and Shower Home Spa System)
$2890 or $35 a month

One Pan Sausage and Vegetable Skillet. A super easy and healthy meal ready in under 30 minutes!
One Pan Sausage and Vegetable Skillet
I love one pan meals because they are super easy to make and the clean up couldn’t be easier! This easy one skillet meal is loaded with potatoes, bell peppers, zucchini and sausage. The veggies and sausage are cooked over high heat in the skillet so they turn out crispy and caramelized on the outside They are perfectly seasoned with salt, pepper and Italian seasonings. This a super easy and healthy meal that comes together in under 30 minutes! It’s also a great recipe to meal prep!
- Ghee or unsalted butter
- Baby potatoes
- Protein: Andouille sausage (You can also substitute your favorite chicken sausage!)
- Vegetables: Zucchini, red, yellow and green bell peppers.
- Seasonings: Garlic cloves, Italian seasoning, onion powder, salt and pepper.
How to make this One Pan Sausage and Vegetable Skillet
Start by heating ghee or butter over medium heat. Add the potatoes and cook until golden brown and tender, about 7-10 minutes. Remove the potatoes from the skillet and set aside. Add the sausage to the same pan and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Set aside with the potatoes. Add in the zucchini and bell peppers. Sauté until tender 3-4 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for an additional minute. Add the potatoes and sausage back into the pan along with the Italian seasoning and onion powder. Season with salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately. I love to serve mine with fresh grated parmesan cheese and crushed red pepper flakes for a little kick!
Can I use frozen vegetables?
I prefer to use fresh vegetables in this recipe. Frozen veggies can sometimes turn out mushy and watery in this dish.
How to reheat leftovers?
Leftovers are best served reheated in a skillet with a little extra virgin olive oil or butter. This will help crisp back up the potatoes and veggies. They can get soggy if they are reheated in the microwave.
- Protein: Chicken sausage, boneless chicken thighs, shrimp, cubed steak would all be great in this! You can even omit the sausage and serve with my Honey Garlic Salmon for an easy dinner!
- Vegetables: Cherry tomatoes, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms, yellow squash and carrots would all be good substitutions. I like to use whatever vegetables are in season or that I already have in the refrigerator.
- Vegetarian: To make this recipe vegetarian simply omit the sausage. For a protein boost serve the hash with a fried egg on top!
- Potatoes: Substitute sweet potatoes or omit potatoes all together for a low carb keto friendly meal!
- Spices: For a kick add a sprinkle of cayenne or paprika. Cajun seasoning would go great with this!

At the beginning of September, the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed a lower court’s decision in the case of Doe v. Baum, et al. , in which a University of Michigan student accused of rape said his rights had been violated by the school because it did not allow him to cross-examine his accuser. The ruling, written by U.S. Circuit Judge Amul Thapar, stated:
Today, we reiterate that holding once again: if a public university has to choose between competing narratives to resolve a case, the university must give the accused student or his agent an opportunity to cross-examine the accuser and adverse witnesses in the presence of a neutral fact-finder.
The ramifications of this ruling are now about to be felt across the country, as the Washington Post reports that Education Secretary Betsy DeVos plans on releasing a “sweeping overhaul of how colleges and universities must handle allegations of sexual assault and harassment.” The Post says that, piggy-backing on the ruling, DeVos plans on expanding the rights of the accused, using some pretty terrible practices to do so.
Some White House officials urged going further to include a mandatory cross-examination provision, two people familiar with internal discussions said. They said others in the administration argued that mandatory questioning was ill-advised, potentially traumatic for victims and not required in court hearings. [Emphasis added.]
But before you think DeVos and the Trump administration are monsters, there’s this:
The proposal will include language barring questioning about an accuser’s sexual history, one administration official said.
It’s like this administration is run by 1,000,000 Mother Teresas! Many advocacy groups have already been working against these changes, including with a lawsuit that argues DeVos’ rewriting of these laws amounts to creating a discriminatory policy nullifying the entire point of Title IX in the first place. It has been very clear for some time that DeVos’ mandate, beyond trying to allow Trump-University-type predatory loan scams to thrive, is to limit the liabilities that universities face in not doing their best to create physically safe environments for their students.
The Post says that, along with allowing accused students the chance to needlessly cross-examine the people accusing them, the new guidelines would allow schools to raise the bar for accusers, from the Obama-era guideline of “a preponderance of evidence” to “clear and convincing” evidence. And while this is supposedly offered as a choice to the schools, it comes with the charge that they must not have a lower bar for students than they have for faculty and staff—which means they will most likely be forced to lift the standard regardless.
Lastly, the liability that schools have with regard to their investigations of assault claims is reportedly loosened up by these new guidelines. Schools need not worry if only a professor or a resident adviser is told about an alleged assault by an accuser: The school would be able to sidestep liability for not investigating such reported assaults if they were not then informed. The loophole in DeVos’ guidelines here would be that only members of the school who had the ability to “institute corrective measures” would be compelled to act.
Donald Trump offered up some chum to his rabidly racist and misogynistic base last month, saying that “it’s a scary time for young men in America.” Betsy DeVos is playing to this false narrative at the expense of the real victims.

Antelope Satori / R4S Bundle
If you need this very urgent, please contact us and we keep you informed about the delivery date.
Hochwertiger Monitor Controller
Satori is a true analog monitoring and summing system. A Japanese Buddhist term referring to enlightenment, Satori is designed to deliver an 'epiphany' experience to the sound engineer. Antelope's renowned relay-controlled stepped attenuator, the extremely versatile connectivity options and great selection of stereo effects such as mid-side monitoring, place the Satori among the most advanced monitoring controllers in the world, equally suited to both commercial and project studios. Satori expands upon the acclaimed design architecture of Eclipse 384 – Antelope's award-winning mastering AD/DA and monitoring controller. Carefully designed analog circuits and fast, transparent relay attenuators ensure the audio integrity throughout the whole signal path.
Stepped relay attenuator with precision accuracy
Satori employs advanced, quiet gold-plated relays and precise resistors to facilitate fast, responsive level attenuation, without sacrificing excellent sonic performance. These relays achieve 0.05 dB stereo accuracy and stable L/R balance even at lower volume levels. The pristine, attenuator signal path fully preserves audio signal integrity while revealing even the most subtle nuances.
Analog summing functionality
In addition to providing outstanding monitoring capabilities, Satori includes a fully analog 8-channel summer. Analog summing allows engineers who work completely “in-the-box” to mix signals in the analog domain for a more natural blending of instruments. The summer inside Satori maintains punch, headroom and excellent dynamics, while offering the analog sound usually found only from legendary analog consoles.
Analog sound with digital control
The exceptionally clear sonic performance of Satori is derived from advanced analog circuit design. But the flexible and accurate control capabilities are made possible by Antelope's next generation of software control panel technology, which has opened the door to a whole new generation of analog devices, such as the Satori Monitoring System and MP32 32-channel mic preamp. For Satori this means fast and responsive source and speaker output switching, accurate remote volume control and also Mute, Mono, Dim, Mid/Side monitoring. The Satori Control Panel also features stereo peak meters for instant signal visualization.
Headphone amps and talk back
Surpassing most monitoring controllers, which offer one or two headphone outs, Satori features four independent headphone amps ready to provide several band members their own, unique input feed with independent volume control. Satori's headphone drivers are audiophile-grade and are the same as those used in Antelope's premium line of high-end home audio converters, able to drive both low and high impedance headphones.
An abundant number of I/Os
Satori provides a generous amount of connectivity options. No other 1U monitoring system has eight stereo inputs and four stereo outputs and features such a comprehensive choice of connections: XLR, ¼'' TRS and D-Sub 25. Satori also boasts a subwoofer output and four ¼'' independent headphone outs.
Sleek and functional front panel control
Large warmly-lit front panel buttons and an ergonomic aluminum volume knob provide the user with elegant and fast management of all major monitoring functions. The result is a powerful state-of-the-art device that still feels user-friendly and simple to operate.
- A complete palette of inputs and outputs
- Precise stepped relay volume control
- Four independent headphone outputs with dedicated volume controls
- Analog Summing allowing easy mixing
- Extremely flexible routing
- Analog sound with digital control
- A user friendly desktop application available for both Windows and OS X

Traumatic eye injuries are common emergency department presentations worldwide, and diagnosis may be delayed because of concurrent injuries and lack of guidelines in regard to the utility of clinical examination, computed tomography (CT), and point-of-care ultrasonography. In this study, we compare point-of-care ultrasonography with ophthalmologist clinical examination and CT for 6 types of traumatic eye injury.
We conducted a prospective cohort study evaluating patients with suspected traumatic eye injury who were recruited at an academic medical center in Tabriz, Iran. Each patient was evaluated by an emergency physician with point-of-care ultrasonography using a 7- to 15-MHz linear transducer, by a radiologist with orbital CT imaging, and by an ophthalmologist with a complete bedside ocular examination. Obtained results were tabulated. Sensitivity, specificity, and likelihood ratios were subsequently calculated. Cohen’s κ was assessed to evaluate the agreement between ocular point-of-care ultrasonography with orbital CT and point-of-care ultrasonography with complete bedside ocular examination.
Two hundred thirty-two patients (351 eyes) with suspected traumatic eye injury were included. In all measures of accuracy, diagnosis by point-of-care ultrasonography compared favorably with CT and a complete bedside ocular examination by an ophthalmologist in the 6 ocular injury patterns included in this study. Compared with CT imaging, point-of-care ultrasonography provided a specificity of 99.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 97.8% to 99.9%) and a sensitivity of 96.8% (95% CI 83.3% to 99.9%) in the diagnosis of lens dislocation, and a specificity of 99.7% (95% CI 98.3% to 100.0%) and sensitivity of 95.7% (95% CI 78.1% to 99.9%) in the diagnosis of retrobulbar hematoma. Compared with complete bedside ocular examination by an ophthalmologist, point-of-care ultrasonography provided a specificity of 98.7% (95% CI 96.7% to 99.6%) and sensitivity of 97.8% (95% CI 88.2% to 99.9%) in the diagnosis of vitreous hemorrhage. In all injury types, positive likelihood ratios were high and negative ones were low.
Point-of-care ultrasonography demonstrates high sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of traumatic eye injury, and represents a valuable diagnostic tool in addition to orbital CT and complete beside ocular examination by an ophthalmologist in the diagnosis of traumatic eye injury.

During semantic analysis (scope or type checking), it is necessary to remember declarations (variables, types, functions, etc) so that we can detect inconsistencies and misuses of the identifiers. This identifiers memorization is the task of a symbol table. Note that a symbol table is a compile-time data structure; it's not used during run time.
Formally, a symbol table (also called identifiers table) maps names into declarations (called attributes), such as mapping the variable name x to its type int.
More specifically, a symbol table stores:
- for each "type name", its type definition (eg. for the C type declaration typedef int* mytype, it maps the name mytype to a data structure that represents the type int*).
- for "each variable name", its type. If the variable is an array, it also stores dimension information. It may also store storage class, offset in activation record etc.
- for each "constant name", its type and value.
- for each "function and procedure", its formal parameter list and its output type.
Each formal parameter must have name, type, type of passing (by-reference or by-value), etc. Due to its very efficient search/retrieval algorithm, one convenient data structure for symbol tables is a hash table, that maps names (the hash table keys) to attributs.

Federal infrastructure bill should not regulate Bitcoin
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — River Financial CEO and cofounder Alex Leishman today expressed disappointment in Senate passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act earlier this week, which included language that could impose serious harm on the Bitcoin industry and related businesses.
“It’s disappointing that Senators would attempt to rob the infrastructure of the future to pretend to pay for the crumbling infrastructure of the past. With around 46 million Americans owning Bitcoin, the Senate has threatened not only the well-being of the citizens it purports to represent, but America’s best chance at technological leadership in the new millennium. We urge the House to strike the harmful provision and we look forward to engaging with lawmakers to create thoughtful rules that ensure compliance without harming innovation.
The language related to cryptocurrency is overly broad and would encompass entities like Bitcoin miners, software developers, and node operators, into the definition of a broker even though such entities cannot possibly comply with tax reporting obligations. These businesses would face a devastating choice: shut down entirely or take their expertise and innovation overseas to friendlier jurisdictions.
The current text may also lead to reporting requirements on new categories of crypto-specific data for the tens of millions of Americans who already own Bitcoin. This reporting rule would be significantly more burdensome than the requirements imposed on legacy financial institutions. It risks further limiting American innovation in this growing industry and exposes Americans’ sensitive personal data to leaks and abuse.
Leishman continued, “River Financial joins the Bitcoin community in its frustration over this poorly-written, last minute language that will seriously damage American leadership and innovation in cryptocurrency without actually accomplishing the purported goal of raising tax revenue. America has a historic opportunity to be a global leader in Bitcoin development while repressive regimes like China and Iran are cracking down on it. But if the Senate language is enacted, we’ll be making the same mistake as those authoritarian nations.”

Aha! I found another handy sewing use for my smart phone.
A thread list!
I’m told that the Fancy Damn Sewing Machine (a Viking Husqvarna Sapphire 830) is a snob when it comes to thread. I don’t know if it really makes a difference, but I put premium in my car ’cause I’m supposed to, so I use Gütermann in the Viking.
Thus, all my previous Coats and Clark was rendered somewhat useless. (Well not entirely. I keep it for the old Kenmore.) And my good thread collection is small and rather manageable.
The other day, I was struck by inspiration: Since I only use the one brand (JoAnn’s carries it, so it’s easy to find), why don’t I just list every color number I have and the approximate amount (in broad terms such as “plenty” “a little” and “TONS”) in my phone in a simple notes app!
I picked up some fabric on Friday. When I took it over to the thread display and cross-referenced against my handy-dandy thread list, I determined that I already had plenty of color 506 that would work. I didn’t need to buy more. I just need to remember to update the list as I use thread.
Just one more reason to love my smart phone.

Depending on perspective, everyday love might recognized, relished, derided, envied, or stigmatized. Some individuals check out actions in a life threatening form, assessing all of the possible implications (emotionally and actually) in addition to the potential benefits and drawbacks any time imagining creating everyday sex. Other individuals use the understanding of informal sexual intercourse, perfectly, a bit more flippantly.
On the other hand, most individuals posses stronger thought about whether it’s a wise decision, although these perceptions may reposition as existence circumstancesa€”and romance statusesa€”change. But whether you are inclined to choose the flow or even to check out theme down to the nitty-gritty, it can be beneficial to see the social setting and promising psychological state influence (both negative and positive) that relaxed love-making can get as soon as determining if it is good for you.
Laid-back sex might defined in a variety of ways and can even mean different factors to each person. However, generally, relaxed love was consensual sexual intercourse outside of an enchanting partnership or nuptials, normally without having any strings of connection or hope of willpower or exclusivity. i»? i»? dependent circumstance, the activity can generally hook-ups, one-night-stands, trysts, butt contacts, or friends-with-benefits, among different euphemisms.
Relaxed gender might result between lovers one time or on a regular basis. It may possibly arise between good friends, exes, everyday colleagues, uncommitted matchmaking couples, colleagues, or comprehensive strangers, and could end up being scheduled or appointed beforehand or take place in an instant. In essence, causal love try a means of experiencing the real closeness of love-making, beyond the emotional, functional, or enchanting the different parts of www.hookuphotties.net/married-hookup-apps enjoy or a committed partnership.
Lots of people develop laid-back sex dating occasionally, while some accomplish more often allowing it to have one or lots of mate they connect to in the the exact same time period as a typical an important part of their unique resides.
Everyday love-making does not necessarily constantly add sexual intercourse. It might comprise any choice of literally personal strategies, instance petting, dental sexual intercourse, mutual self pleasure, and entrance.
Some people look at casual sexual intercourse a healthier intimate socket, similar to frequent exercise, or just as a satisfying physical experiences, potentially treasured extremely without the presense of goals, liability, or demands of a standard connection.
If it is engaged in in an emotionally healthy manner, casual sex offers the animal delight of intimate closeness without the presense of emotional entanglements of a full-fledged union.
For other people, informal sexual intercourse provides appeal but controlling the emotions, as with to not get attached or experience frustrated or employed, or assessment of rest becomes complicateda€”and can result in injure sensations or unrequited wishing. Yet others chose the effects (like getting infectivity, intimate assault, or dissatisfaction) are way too terrific and/or become love should simply happen in a committed or wedded connection.
Cautionary, commonly sexist, reports tend to be instructed, specially to teenagers and people. Lately, girls are alerted with age-old adages like “they won’t from the cow if you provide the dairy free-of-charge,” intended to prevent all of them from limiting the company’s “virtue.”
In films, everyday intercourse might be portrayed as a lot of fun, no-strings-attached romps causing a pleasing, exuberant glowa€”sometimes resulting in love. Other portrayals end in dissatisfaction, regret, and heartbreak. Just how could it have fun with call at every day life?
The reality is that casual are wonderful or dreadful and all things in between.
For some, intercourse away from determination is widely seen as immorala€”or merely appropriate for boys or “loose” females. Sometimes, these relationships may represent cheat, like for example either belonging to the members has another commitment. Obviously, stereotypes, presumptions, values, event, and personal values are usually at play. In addition, a few bad (or close) laid-back love relationships may considerably skew peoples views about interest.
Whatever we can all agree on is the fact everyday (or any) gender holds by using it the risks of unexpected maternity, acquiring intimately transmissible malware (STIs), and bodily (or emotional) damage from your very own lover, particularly one which is certainly not widely known for your requirements. But, plus using inventory of moral problems and risk facets, there are psychological implications available when deciding if informal love happens to be mentally useful to you.

The repair order said something along the lines of “customer states frame is broken”. As it was being pulled into the bay I looked underneath and saw that, yes, the frame is broken.
Not the clearest picture, but that part of the frame that sticks down for the suspension to attach to was completely broken off of the frame.
I think this was a 90’s 4Runner. One other time we had a ’95 come in that needed $3000 of work, and the owner said yes. And after all that work was done, it was given to me to do an oil change because he didn’t realize he wanted one until then.

Build, Back, Better – On the Brink
- As if we needed more evidence that Congressional mathematics is generally faulty, the CBO analysis of the Build Back Batter plan has a $376 billion gap between costs and revenue. To be fair, the official analysis excludes revenue from increased IRS enforcement. CBO estimated that increased enforcement could produce $200 billion, reducing the revenue shortfall to ‘only’ $167 billion. Also to be fair, these estimates only hold if the temporary programs in the bill are truly temporary and some future Congress allows them to expire. Historically, there are very few examples of government transfer programs being allowed to expire.
- The bill was passed by the House on Friday and now goes to the primary battleground – the Senate. At last look, Senators Manchin and Sinema were only on board if the bill was fully paid for, as per the CBO. The question now is whether the plan is close enough for them to alter that stance. The pressure is building on these two Senators as they need to balance their popularity at home with the desires of their party.
- The politics may be unpredictable, but in our view the economics of Build, Back, Better are more clear – It is likely to be inflationary. As 2021 closes, we are in the middle of an inflationary surge brought on by massive fiscal spending (read: giving money to America) colliding with reduced productive capacity due to the pandemic. We don’t argue the need for a dramatic fiscal stimulus to offset the pandemic, but it appears we went too far. That is not a criticism. No one had any clue how much was really needed. This bill, right now, pours more money on the inflationary fire.
- Unlike the infrastructure bill, which is spread out over 10 years, the roughly $1.63 trillion (CBO estimate) Build Back Better bill is more front loaded as many aspects of the bill are set to expire within a few years, but paid for over 10 years. Much of Build, Back, Better increases transfer payments (read: puts money directly in the hands of the public) and if this is passed right now, it stands to make the current inflationary spiral worse. Creating more demand at a time when productive capacity is already inadequate and COVID shut downs are continuing will only make inflation worse in the short term. There are many admirable aspects of Build, Back, Better, but passage right now is only stimulating additional demand that cannot be met. Too much money chasing too few goods causes higher prices. If passed, we would expect faster economic growth and more rapid inflation. Logically, that would push the Fed towards raising rates sooner.
Don’t Look Now
- The hope was that the last wave of COVID would mark its demise. That hope appears unfounded as the U.S. is beginning another rise in cases, mostly in northern states. Europe, and particularly Germany and Austria, are hitting new record highs in reported cases. Parts of Asia are experiencing a similar rise. Why is this important? A critical element in repairing the supply demand imbalance is for COVID to recede, allowing production to fully recover. The charts below tell the story, with the exception of China, where data is scarce, but recent news stories are focusing on Delta outbreaks. Getting supply back to normal may take longer than expected. (All charts are from the NY Times.)

Larissa Lampitelli was originally from New York and her passion for clothing started at a young age when she began working in a specialty shop that carried beautiful, luxury lingerie. She quickly recognized the exceptional quality that these products had and developed a deep appreciation for this form of precision and craftsmanship. She found that this is where her love for lingerie began.
She studied at the Fashion Institute of Technology and worked as a designer for a licensing sleepwear brand for years. She recently started her own namesake brand – Larissa Kate Lingerie. The line features ethically handcrafted lingerie for the modern woman seeking luxury and individuality. She believes that women are a work of art therefore their lingerie should be too. With a strong commitment to providing women with self-empowerment, she has proven to her loyal following that lingerie can be for them to assist them in feeling beautiful inside and out.
Sassy & Co magazine recently caught up with Larissa to discuss her journey in the fashion industry and here’s what went down:
How did you get into the fashion industry?
When I was young I worked at a specialty shop that carried silk lingerie and organic soaps. I was quickly drawn to these types of unique products, specifically clothing, and became interested in the story of each garment; Who made it? How was it made? Is it an ethical piece of clothing? All these things are a reflection of what you stand for and what you wear can become an extension of your personality. As a result, I studied design at The Fashion Institute of Technology and specialized in Intimate Apparel. I love the challenge of working with a small, delicate canvas and making pieces that are unique and versatile and the one wearing them.
What do you like most about being a designer?
I love creating! Being able to conceptualize a clothing idea and then the process of making it come to fruition is very rewarding. The process can be time-consuming and tedious, but when you are doing something you love, it can become quite therapeutic. It’s icing on the cake when a consumer is drawn to a piece I’ve made and decides to buy it.
The downside to being a fashion designer?
For me, it would have to be the business side of having my own company. I am very creative so for me to sit down and crunch numbers isn’t always fun. The cost of production can be daunting as well – I might have a few ideas and products I want to release but will have to scale down once I realize just how much it will cost for each idea.
What has been the most memorable experience of being in the fashion industry so far?
My most memorable experiences would probably be all the pop-up shops I’ve done in New York City. Hustling and trying to get my product in front of as my people as possible. Ranging from having pop-ups in bars, the bottom of a mattress store (lol) to eventually joining another brand and selling for a summer at a storefront in SoHo. I now sell to specialty boutiques that appreciate ethical fashion and mainly on my website, but I still love joining a group of artists for an occasional pop-up and meeting new people.
Who have been the most interesting people you’ve met so far?
I love meeting other local small business designers who are in a similar boat as me. Sharing ideas with them and being able to support each other means we all win!
I also love meeting my customers and seeing people in the clothing I make. When someone likes a product to the point they have to wear it out of the store brings me happy tears.
What has been the most valuable lesson you’ve learned while in the fashion industry. This can be about the industry or about yourself.
Push yourself to step outside of your comfort zone. I am an introvert at heart, so it’s important for me to push myself and get out of my comfort zone to better the brand, excel, and also grow as a person. It’s important to not worry about what other people think of you. Go with your gut and follow your calling.
Is your family supportive of you being a fashion designer?
Yes, my family has always been supportive of my dreams. They used to worry about me not having the security of a corporate job but once they saw I made a few sales and it was more than a hobby for me, they were in my corner.
If you could go back in a time machine to when you were just getting started, what would you do differently?
I would say to intern for your dream company because that will most likely result in a foot in the door. I also think networking is key, you never know when or where a person you met along the way will be able to help you in your career later on. I remember I pushed myself to talk to one of my ideas at a fashion trade show and that resulted in her recommending me for a job.
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
Keep hustling. You have to do everything it takes to make the dream happen. Keep emailing those buyers, pushing your product, and make it happen! No one is going to hand your dreams to you.
What are your future plans? Inside your career or out of it.
My passion right now is my clothing line – Larissa Kate Lingerie. This past year has set my production back a little but my goal is to keep growing my business. I am currently working on a sustainable, size-inclusive new collection that’s made in the USA.

SmartBar Products have been invited by Bar Rescue to be a part of the rebuild of beachfront
restaurant El K’rajo after Hurricane Maria devastated Puerto Rico 10 months ago. Airing tonight
at 10:00 pm on Paramount Network’s Bar Rescue with Jon Taffer – be sure to watch and set your
DVR’s! The reconstruction will include a SmartBar 5L on the restaurant’s roof top.
We at SmartBar Products can certainly appreciate the trials and tribulations that Puerto Rico is
going through. We’re honored to do what we can to help El K’rajo move forward with having a
portable bar as part of their new design to help them bring in more profits. Take a look at the
trailer and brace yourselves this episode is sure to move you.
The SmartBar 5L, which is known as the World’s Smartest Bar, is an excellent solution for
serving guests mixed drinks (bottled or prepared) shots, wine, champagne… It can be placed
in various locations throughout events or establishments when crowds begin to overflow.
SmartBar 5L is SmartBar Product’s flagship portable bar that sets up and tears down in less
than 30 seconds. It folds flat to less that 12 inches. It comes with 2 ice bins, 2 cutting boards,
upper inside folding shelf, a speedwell and a heavy duty protective furniture cover. Its used
by bartenders, caterers, hotels, bars, restaurants, country clubs, event spaces like conference
halls and arenas. It weighs 200 lbs. and is easy to transport by rolling while folded closed or
while its unfolded and already set up.
SmartBar Products had also been on a Bar Rescue episode in 2012 where the SmartBar 5L
was used in an establishment that needed a complete makeover and new business approach.
Take a look when SmartBar 5L rescued this bar to help them sell more drinks.
SmartBar 5L’s branding and customization options add extra opportunites for owner’s to
display graphics on the removable front and side panels to increase advertising visibility
and to match to any room decor. The panels can be switched out at anytime to feature
marketing messages and designs for any event. As for tonight’s episode – we’re looking
forward to seeing how fitting the SmartBar 5L looks and functions for El K’rajo and wish
them the best of luck in the years to come!

The other day my daughter was visiting. As I often do, I was sitting on the couch with my legs curled up under me and my daughter said I had Jiffy feet. I frowned, wondering what kind of malformation or disease that could be. She's a nurse so she would know these kinds of things. I asked her what that is and she replied, "Your feet look like you've been walking around the Jiffy Mart barefoot!" Good one Lynn Ann. I walk around barefoot all the time and had been outside in the yard that day and yes, the bottoms of my feet did look just like that.
Y'all have a great day,

The idea of choosing a face moisturizer seems pretty simple. Your skin is dry, so you head out only to find that you have no idea which one you should choose.
With so many options to choose from, it’s not surprising that you feel overwhelmed. From drug store formulations to designer concoctions, finding the right moisturizer can be broken down into a few simple steps. Here’s what you need to know about buying face moisturizer.
Your skin type is the most important factor that goes into choosing a moisturizer. If you have oily skin, you need to look for blends that won’t cause acne flares. If your skin is on the dry side, look for moisturizers that are richer and keep your skin drenched longer.
Creams are thicker are usually thicker than lotions, so look for brands that offer both. You should also look for brands that are free of perfumes and color. These types can irritate already sensitive skin, drying it out even more.
Facial moisturizer needs to do more than soften your skin. You need to choose one that offers anti-aging properties as well. Whether you’re looking at lotions or creams, the one you choose should contain antioxidants as well. Look for blends that contain vitamin A and E. You should also be using ones that contain retinol. Retinol is what helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Some hemp face moisturizers also offer healing benefits, such as reducing the appearance of scars, so look into these all-natural types as well. These work particularly well for people with sensitive skin or rosacea.
Just as important as the moisturizer factor is sun protection. Even on cloudy days, your skin needs to be protected. The higher the SPF, the better, so never use products that have less than 15 to 30 percent sunscreen protection.
When it comes to choosing a moisturizer, it all comes down to your skin type and what added benefits you want it to provide. Since finding the right moisturizer is usually done through trial and error, don’t get discouraged if you haven’t found the right one yet. You can always trial a few, equally spaced apart, and see which one works the best. To make this happen, head to Sephora and ask for samples. Both men and women are allowed three samples without purchase. Try them out and if you like the results, you know you’ve picked a winner.

Hyderabad: His photographs of a snow leopard from Spiti, Himachal Pradesh broke the internet, literally. Yet the man is still calm, unassuming.
Ismail Shariff, Hyderabad-based nature and wildlife photographer, is known to wildlife and photography enthusiasts as the ‘Snow Leopard Man of India’. His long and passionate association with photography began in his student days. What started as documenting his own life in Europe while pursuing his Masters gradually gained direction and came to focus on wildlife photography.
Picking up his first camera in 2005, Ismail was treated to the magnificent sight of a huge male tiger in 2008 while on a trip to the Kanha National Park in Madhya Pradesh. That was the defining moment of his life. “It became one of the reasons for me to move back to India to pursue of wildlife photography and tourism here,” he said.
Ismail, an alumnus of the Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet, has been part of nine snow leopard expeditions in the last seven years with the recent one being in 2020, apart from several other wildlife expeditions. The first thing that strikes his mind about snow leopards is the long fluffy tail, blue eyes, thick fur and a true-blue cat attitude. Snow leopards are one of the world’s most elusive animals and the most common way to spot one is high up on the mountain ridges. After an hour or more of patient stalking in Spiti in 2017, he finally spotted a snow leopard passing by. The shots he posted on various wildlife photo websites are trending even today.
“I was obsessed with snow leopards ever since a photograph taken in 2012 by Dhritiman Mukherjee, India’s leading wildlife photographer,” said Ismail, adding that seeing the mysterious ghost of the mountains for the first time in Hemis National Park, Ladakh, was an unforgettable experience in itself.
Ismail said the snow leopard is a notoriously elusive creature. It is also listed as “Vulnerable” on the IUCN Red List since the global population is estimated to be between 4,000 to 6,000. India is believed to have less than 1,000. That adds stars to his journey from just another photographer to being called the Snow Leopard Man of India.
“There were struggles. My parents were expecting me to get a corporate job. But I chose photography as my career. It was tough initially, since you’ve to invest a lot of time and money with very uncertain returns to make a name. But at the end of the day, if you want to be successful, you have to be willing to work hard, even if it means making more than a few sacrifices along the way,” said Ismail, a Computer Science engineer from Central European
University, Budapest, Hungary. He moved to Paris to work there for two and half years before wildlife photography took over him.
Ismail, who has had solo photography exhibitions on Snow Leopards even in Los Angeles and New York, also indulges in fine art printing. He also works with the Snow Leopard Trust in helping raise funds for their conservation efforts.

October 24, 2018 6:30 at Subway in Mercer, WI.
6:05 PM Call to Order: Jeff Malison, VP (Randy Schubert arrived late)
Present: Randy Schubert, President; Jeff Malison, Vice-President, Tom Mowbray, Treasurer, Bill Stewart, Secretary; Directors: Jim Moore, Jean Burns, Ed Hryciuk
Absent: Directors: Diane O’Krongly, Jim Kohl
Guests: Terry Daulton and Jeff Wilson
Minutes: Bill Stewart presented the Minutes of the October 24, 2018 meeting. They were approved as presented
Treasurer’s Report: Tom Mowbray presented the treasurer’s report. It is on file with the minutes. As of 5/30/19 we have $9511.33 in the General fund and $2451.75 in the Fish Habitat Fund. Total: $11,963.08. After discussion of whether or not the Fish Habitat fund was restricted, the board determined that the fund could be used on related items such as water quality sampling when the board agreed that a particular need was appropriately related to the purpose of the fund. The report was approved as presented.
Correspondence: Jim Moore attended the Stakeholder’s Meeting with others. A summary will be in Driftwood which will be published soon.
WATER Level: Jim Moore reported: Winter drawdown never reached the 4 foot level. With the heavy snow and spring rains the level required in the MOU was reached before ice out. On April 23 the Flowage was above full pool for the first time in recent memory. (1572.04) and the discharge rate at the dam reached 4300 CFS on April 26. (Also a new high)
On April 27 there was a DNR meeting regarding revision of the MOU for the Rest Lake Dam. The current MOU expires in 2020
The DNR noted that ground water was as high as it has ever been.
John Hanson, Town Chairman for Manitowish Waters noted that in condition of severe drought it could be appropriate for water from the Manitowish Chain to be shared downstream. A measurement tool for determining drought conditions would need to be selected. We discussed the value of including the entire watershed when determining drought conditions.
Jim Moore will be turning the chairmanship of this committee over to Ed Hrycuik
Fish Management Committee: Jeff Malison reported in Jim Kohl’s absence.
New Walleye regulation for the Flowage is progressing well and should be in place by 2020.
There is sufficient evidence of natural Muskie reproduction that the number of fishes stocked will be reduced.
A panfish survey is planned.
We discussed the planned move of the DNR Fishing crew from Mercer to Ashland. Jeff Wilson presented a letter he wished to write to the editors of Driftwood and asked for the Board’s thoughts since the move of this personnel group to Ashland does not seem to him that it takes into the account the locations where most of their work is done and the distance from Ashland to the Mercer Area. After discussion that concerned the sensitivity of the issue and our approach to it, Tom Mowbray moved: The Board of the TTF-TL POA draft a letter to the appropriate Wisconsin DNR person addressing the issues in Jeff’s letter as they pertain to the role of the Flowage Association and the fishery of the Flowage.
Bill Stewart Seconded. The board approved unanimously.
If needed, there can be some discussion at our annual meeting.
Invasive Species Committee: No report
Water Quality Committee No report. All positions are staffed. The Meyers may be getting ready to step down from this responsibility. We will ask for members to let us know if they are interested in filling the position.
It was mentioned that there are grants that could be used to fund some of the locations we now fund. Applications for them are usually processed in the January and February. This needs to be on the agenda of our October meeting.
Communication and Education Committee: Jeff Malison mentioned the need for more input in terms of topics and photos. HE specifically asked that we pick up local calendars such as “Science on Tap” and send them to him. Our Facebook page has a regular following and includes some non-members of our Association.
Membership Committee: Tom Mowbray noted that this is really a separate function from the Treasurer and we need someone to fill this responsibility. He also noted that he will continue as Treasurer for one more term and then will step down. The Board needs to be looking for a candidate for this position.
Election 2019: Jim Moore will be leaving the board and Bill Stewart will not continue as Secretary. Mike Hittle has agreed to be a candidate for a Director position but not an officer. Randy Schubert will contact people we identified as possible interest and available for open positions. The board feels that committee Chairs should be Board Members as much as possible.
Annual Meeting June 22: The Great Northern is reserved for the meeting. We will seek a source for coffee and other refreshments. A Draft Agenda was presented for discussion.
The Justin Donner Fisheree is seeking broader support for its leadership and volunteer support and has asked us and the Business Association if there is interest in partnering. The Board felt that we would ask for interest at the Annual Meeting before responding.
Tom Mowbray presented that there was grumbling about the late date at which the DNR put the docks in at the Flowage Landings. The new practice of removing the docks for winter and installing them in the spring inconvenienced many people fishing on opening day and property owners who like to launch boats before fishing begins.

Don’t you love delving into the historical origins of food! The delicious ANZAC biscuits were first made during World War 1 for the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, hence its name. The three main stars in ANZAC biscuits are desiccated coconut, rolled oats and golden syrup. Replicating the flavour profile, I’ve made these into soft-baked coconut oat cookies, which are available on the menu now. These egg-free cookies are delicious paired with a good hot cup of coffee (or tea, if you prefer!). If, like me, you wax lyrical over a childhood favourite called Candy Kelapa (Coconut Candy), then this is the cookie for you.
The Midnight Baker® Malaysia: No preservatives. No additives. All good.

I’m not sure where this quote came from. I can’t remember if it’s mine or if I need to attribute it to someone else. It’s been a battle cry for quite sometime…
The origin of this quote was in relation to working in a recording studio one time that was a bare bones facility. It was devoid of all the fancy “gear du jour” that makes for a great website or magazine cover material.
With no choice other than to simply plug in a microphone and hit “record”, we found ourselves at the time making a project with a wholly original sound. We moved quickly through the process too, unencumbered by endless “tweaking” of the sound that is usually offered by an abundance of choices when it comes to gear. We also eliminated the technical problems that inevitably arise when you have racks and racks of studio equipment.
The minimalist approach sparked new creativity as well, since we did not have our usual “arsenal” of gear. I am guilty of having my “default” or “go to” items when I record a drum set or an electric guitar. Absent the “crutch” of my favorite equipment, creativity flowed as I was free to use a mic I would never consider using on a snare drum, for instance. It was the only mic I had available.
I did not see the absence of choice as limiting in any way. Quite the opposite, I embraced the freedom it provided. At some point along the way either myself or someone else (please let me know if you are that someone) exclaimed “the absence of choice offers remarkable freedom…”
I have meditated on this quote ever since, and I use it often in various life situations. It can be applied across many instances and in many situations.
The world today is paralyzed by choice, which has somehow become affiliated with success by way of “having it all”. Go on Amazon and search for something – a book, a part for your car, or a can of ground cloves for your spice rack. The choices are so many you often don’t know where to begin. Google for vacation ideas in Santa Fe, NM. You’ll be 28 pages in after an hour of searching, and you’ll still have no idea where to stay or where to eat lunch your first day there. Choices are everywhere and that often leaves us perplexed, anxious, confused, or even paralyzed.
Many times choices are too numerous and we can’t eliminate the contenders or whittle down our alternatives. I like to look at things as either an enthusiastic yes, or a hard no. When faced with choices, if I can’t rate something a 9 or 10 in terms of its value, need, efficiency, or context then it is usually a hard no for me. I try not to waste time on “middle ground”. Forced compromises by way of too many options and choices will most likely end in disappointment or a “meh” experience. A Man on the Move ain’t got time for that. I say “no” a lot…
Sometimes the absence of choice comes by way of things you can’t change. I love Maya Angelou’s perspective: “If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” When faced with a situation you don’t care for but cannot change, there is no point complaining, procrastinating, or throwing a pity party. Focus on the task at hand and find freedom as you conquer what’s in front of you. If you want to move forward, you really have no choice.
Choice can also be tied to your values or life philosophy. My wife and I do not use debt. We live on a frugal budget that by necessity eliminates many choices right off the bat. We can’t afford trips to Cabo or the 2019 Tahoe XLS with the satellite navigation package, and we sure as hell aren’t going to finance them. This leads to remarkable freedom in our decision making. Not only do we enjoy a freedom unencumbered by debt, but we also enjoy a freedom of not having to consider a vast array of choices and options on a daily basis. Choice is limited by way of our values and lifestyle.
Are You Free?
It happens all the time. I’ll see an old friend I haven’t seen in a while and ask “how’s it going?” The answer invariably is “busy man, been really-really busy…” People wear the busy moniker like it’s a badge of success. Busy, however, comes with little freedom. Busy is saying yes to everything, never turning down a gig, stretching yourself thin in an effort to try to capitalize on every opportunity. It means doing things you probably don’t really enjoy, but justifying them with a paycheck – or by the mere fact you have things to do to keep you busy. I’ve been there, and been guilty of just that. No mas.
My answer to the same “how’s it going?” question these days has been “we are simplifying – doing less, buying less, and enjoying more. It’s really giving us a lot of freedom.” It makes for some odd looks…
I’ve tried to simplify every single aspect of my life. Throughout 2018 that was my goal – to simplify, simplify, simplify. Today 2019 brings a goal of efficiency. Simplified down to the bare basics, now I am working to make sure everything left in my life runs at maximum efficiency. Purposefully removing choice and striving to embrace freedom is a big part of that.
I will continue with minimalism & essentialism over abundance & magnitude. Efficiency replaces “busy”. Simplicity replaces complicated choices and decisions. Very specific goals replace vague or complicated plans. Action replaces procrastination. Work is toward an end goal of freedom – personal and financial freedom to exist independent of the social-economic-political spectrum of America today. The Man on the Move is carving his own path. Freedom tastes good…

Information Security Guidance for International Travel with Mobile Devices
TRU employees should understand the restrictions that apply when encrypted devices are taken outside Canada to avoid the confiscation of their device, or other penalties. The following information is for reference only; it is the responsibility of all faculty and staff to determine the unique requirements of specific jurisdictions.
The TRU Information Security Committee has issued this guideline to supplement the Mobile Device, SmartPhone, and Information Classification Standards. Questions about this guideline may be referred to [email protected].
Providing Passwords to Law Enforcement Officials
- In many countries, customs or other law enforcement officials are authorized to require travelers to unlock a device or produce a password. Refusal to comply may result in denial of entry, arrest, or confiscation of the device. Your personal safety comes first. If asked by an official to unlock a device or provide a password, TRU employees should advise the official that the device contains confidential University information. If the official persists, the employee should comply with the demand. In such cases, the employee should make reasonable efforts to keep the device in sight at all times, and should change passwords and report such access to the TRU Privacy Office as soon as possible.
How to Avoid Problems
- The best way to avoid issues is to remove any confidential TRU information and encryption software from the device prior to travelling. It is much more secure to log in remotely to TRU servers through https://vpn.tru.ca than to carry confidential information with you. However, if you must have confidential information saved on your device, then encryption is mandatory under the Information Classification Standard. Note that some countries may block access to certain sites and the use of VPNs. Never try to circumvent these controls as it may result in legal action against you.
Consider Wiping Your Devices and Changing Passwords When You Return Home
- Consider wiping your device and changing your passwords upon your return in order to mitigate the risk that some unauthorized programs or malware were installed during your travels.
Canadian Export Controls on Encryption Products
- Because encryption products can be used for illegal purposes, including terrorist activity, Canada restricts the export of some encryption products to the following countries: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, and Syria. Travellers visiting these countries may not have encryption products installed on their computers unless they have a special export license; check with TRU IT Security for more details.
Foreign Import Controls on Encryption Products
- Some countries ban or severely regulate the import and use of encryption products. Under a set of rules known as the "Wassenaar Arrangement”, travelers may freely enter a participating country with an encrypted device under a "personal use exemption" as long as the traveler does not create, enhance, share, sell or otherwise distribute the encryption technology while visiting. The following countries support the personal use exemption: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of Korea, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, United Kingdom and the United States.
- The following nations do not recognize a "personal use exemption". Before traveling to these countries with an encrypted device,
travelers will need to apply to the specified governmental agency for an import license:
- Belarus - a license issued by the Belarus Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the State Center for Information Security of the Security Council is required.
- Burma (Myanmar) - a license is required, but licensing regime documentation is unavailable.
- China - a permit issued by the Beijing Office of State Encryption Administrative Bureau is required. The laws in China vary from province to province where the customs officers or border guards make their own interpretation of what encryption means.
- Hungary - an International Import Certificate is required.
- Iran - a license issued by Iran's Supreme Council for Cultural Revolution is required.
- Israel - a license from the Director-General of the Ministry of Defense is required. For the applicable laws, policies and forms, see the following website: http://www.mod.gov.il/.
- Kazakhstan - a license issued by Kazakhstan's Licensing Commission of the Committee of National Security is required.
- Moldova - a license issued by Moldova's Ministry of National Security is required.
- Morocco - a license is required.
- Russia - licenses issued by both the Federal Security Service (Federal'naya Sluzhba Bezopasnosti - "FSB") and the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade are required. License applications should be submitted by an entity officially registered in Russia. This would normally be the company that is seeking to bring an encryption product into Russia.
- Saudi Arabia - it has been reported that the use of encryption is generally banned, but research has provided inconsistent information.
- Tunisia - a license issued by Tunisia's National Agency for Electronic Certification (ANCE) is required.
- Ukraine - a license issued by the Department of Special Telecommunication Systems and Protection of Information of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) is required.
- In addition to import controls, some countries have regulations restricting the use of encryption. The most prominent are France, South Africa, China and Russia. For more information see: Export permits for cryptographic items.
- Since laws can change at any time, check before travelling to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information. Additional information about international encryption controls can be found at the following websites:

This is a post I made as a comment on a website listing reasons that the person would not take the "vaccine" for covid.
In the Christian community there is a small group who are attempting to make well meaning Christians look stupid by trying to convince them that the Bible teaches the Earth is flat! Seriously. They spout scientific sounding, but totally refutable, arguments.
Likewise there are a lot of people out there, I believe, trying to make those of us who reject the vaccines and the mask mandates look as dumb as the flat earthers. So my advice to everyone is to not accept anyone's claims without demanding verifiable proof, even if they come from people we may be inclined to trust implicitly. They could have been fed false information.
My personal view is to ignore the info from people who have been shown to be liars. That includes ALL the major media, most politicians, and quite a few government agencies, the CDC being at the top of that list. And this insane push to get people to take the "jab" stinks to high heaven of a hidden agenda, whatever that may be.
So given that this virus is a real threat, I see that people have a couple of choices:
1. take a solution which is highly dangerous and which has minimal efficacy or
2. take a solution which has minimal (if any) risk and which has been shown to be highly effective.
Number 1 is the vaccine. Number 2 is the proper use of chloroquine or Ivermectin.
Actually there is really a 3rd choice and it's the one I'm using. Take a daily regimen of zinc, Quercetin, Vitamins C and D3. Z Stack has those in the correct proportions so that's what I use. People can do what they want. You want to let them inject that insufficiently tested, minimally effective, and proven dangerous stuff into your body? (At least 20,000 deaths and hundreds of thousands of serious injuries, many of them permanent, and that's from the under-reported VAERS site.) That's your business. I'll take the safer and more effective approach. There are those who are saying you'll be dead in 2 years from heart attack, stroke, cancer or some other complication from an impaired immune system due to the vaccines. I don't know if that's true or not, so let's compare notes (if you're around) in another 18 months or so.
Anyone who tries to tell you these "vaccines" are safe is either monumentally ignorant, stupid, or else they're just big fat liars.

W4 Illinois 2021 – The W4 Form 2021, also called “Employee’s Withholding Certificate”, is definitely an IRS form that employees use to tell their employers how much tax they are going to withhold from every paycheck. Employers utilize the W4 Illinois 2021 to determine certain payroll taxes, and to remit taxes towards the IRS or the state on behalf workers.
Should you have an current W-4 form, it’s not necessary to fill it out. A brand new W-4 is not required each and every year. The new W-4 will be required should you are commencing a fresh occupation, or adjusting your withholdings at an present job. It’s a great justification for you to check your withholdings.
The W-4 Form Is Updated
W4 Illinois 2021. Staff used to be able to assert allowances on W-4 to scale back federal revenue tax withheld from wages. Employers would withhold much less from employees who claimed a lot more withholding allowances than they did. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Employment Act changed lots of tax guidelines. It also eradicated personal exemptions. The IRS altered the W-4 form as being a end result.
In 2020, the brand new W-4 was launched. It nevertheless needs basic individual details, but doesn’t request for any further allowances. Employees who wish to cut back their tax withholding can now assert dependents or use the deductions worksheet.
How to Fill Out a W-4 Form
The IRS web site has W4 Illinois 2021. These are the steps to stick to to find out if your scenario is covered.
Step 1: Personal Information
Enter your name, address, and tax-filing status.
Step 2: Create An Account For Multiple Work
Stick to the under instructions to determine how accurate your withholding is that if you have a lot more than one work or should you file jointly with your partner.
Single and working multiple jobs or married filing jointly.
- A W-4 is needed for every occupation.
- Fill out the W-4 steps 2 via 4(b) to get the highest-paid job. For other jobs, go away individuals steps vacant around the W-4s.
- If you are married and jointly file, you can tick a box to indicate how much you make. This is actually the trick: Every partner must do that on their W-4s.

Burlington, Mass. – Nuance Communications, Inc. today announced that several documentation and productivity solutions, spanning multiple categories, have been recognized for high usage in the legal industry again, according to this year’s annual International Legal Technology Association (ILTA) survey. Nuance solutions were cited as the most popularly used within the scanning workflow, cost recovery and voice to text categories
The ILTA survey is the largest in the legal industry, providing deep insights into the legal technology landscape and key decision factors within the profession. This year ILTA drew input from 481 firms, including more than 92,000 attorneys and 188,000 users.
“Technologies, particularly those which automate and streamline information-intensive processes, play a huge role in improving lawyers’ daily efficiency and freeing up time to focus on strategic client needs,” says Tracey Mustacchio, Vice President of Product and Marketing at Nuance Document Imaging. “With legal tech changing so quickly, ILTA’s annual survey provides a valuable guidepost for identifying key industry trends and directions.”

“Be the Miracle”
A special gift offered to you by Antoinette Layoun
This NeuroJoy® method will allow you to set intentions
inspired by your Highest Self and to
activate the SHIFT you envision for yourself
for 2020, AND for the upcoming decade!
Did you know that 2020 will be a year unlike any other we have seen?!
A major shift will begin in each of our lives and in humanity as a whole.
Do you want to leave behind the neglect of self and emerge with your most authentic and developed SELF?
2020… This is the beginning of an entirely new reality for you!
Listen to the meditation below:
Be the miracle in your own life!
The Essence of Yoga …. “Shift”
Slow down, wake up and vibrate!
The ancient wisdom traditions teach us that the key to a healthy and fulfilling life lies in containing our spirit; which connects us to our inner wisdom, opens our hearts, brings us peace and helps us to have a vision of life that inspires the beauty and wonder of being alive.
These same old traditions also tell us that the spirit can be veiled by our limiting perceptions and beliefs, which unconsciously lead us to pursue the illusion of happiness. How are we affected by all this today when we live in a society that emulates speed and getting things done immediately? In fact, the cult of speeding up the self could also lead to “losing our SELF”
So how do we find clarity in the midst of chaos? Must we withdraw from the world, enter a convent or an ashram to centre ourselves and find ourselves? Is it possible to create a balance between our inner and outer worlds? How do we find the path to ourselves?
The doorway is the body … Stop and breathe!
In the depth of yogic philosophy, we find that having an awareness of the body and the breath leads us to enter an unlimited dimension to which we all have access through the breath. Pranashakti is the primordial cosmic energy that regulates all physical functions.
Pranashakti is one of the three forms of shakti that alters the body, the spirit and the soul. Chitta Shakti controls the mind, while Atma Shakti is associated with the soul. Pranashakti “prana” is the energy of vital power, and “shakti” is associated with feminine or creative energy.
Accessing this vital energy requires us to slow down and to breathe, turning our attention toward the “interior” of our body, to dwell in an interoceptive awareness.
Interoception is the capacity to be aware of the sensations in our body. It moves us to pay attention to our physiological state of being. In other words, it leads us to be present to our body and to “dwell in our body” through the breath and sensations while we are in motion. So instead of being concerned with the outside world, when you focus your attention on your “inner dwelling”, you have access to a whole world of manifestation and richness – body and spirit.
Transform yourself…contemplate and wake up!
Research has shown that the practice of interoceptive awareness awakens different cortical regions in the brain: the somatosensory cortex, the anterior cingulate, the frontal lobe, the insular cortex. That which inclines us to develop the capacity to feel internal states is interacting with cognition and emotions. Thus, a higher level of interoception predicts the strongest emotions – an important condition for being able to change behavior.
Taking the time, listening to oneself and contemplating one’s inner world while in motion, is dwelling in awakened awareness and cultivating the fertile ground for creating a life of wonder.
This practice, centered on the breath, increases Pranashakti energy in the central canal. Dwelling in the breath and the sensations of the body directs one’s spirit to vibrate with one’s soul. Being nourished by this vital energy manifests itself in vigor, endurance, determination, power and balance.
In this presence we can act with an awareness of how our body and our spirit functions, and we can even change our lives… everything is possible!
Jeanne Lieberman (1891–1987) is an inspiring example of someone who walked off the beaten path! She demonstrated how containing the spirit is the key to creating our reality.
“We are nothing other than what we think we are. Suffice it then that we change our spiritual state of being in order to transform our life.”
This woman started training her body-spirit with yoga at the age of 40. At 58 years of age she began Judo and got her first Dan at 63, then her first Aikido Dan, and finally started Kung-fu at 75 obtaining her first Dan at the age of 80. She taught this art of changing one’s spiritual state of being and one’s body, mostly to women between the ages of 40 and older than 80. She was the manifestation of Pranashakti, an example of the power of life and eternal youth up until her last breath!
Plug-in and “shift”
Today give yourself the gift of love… Stop, breathe and contemplate your breath! Let go of your smart technologies, emails and social media… Plug into your “Inner net” by connecting to your body… Slow down, wake up, dwell in the miracle of life and who resides in you!
Neurojoy Meditation : interoceptive awareness and Pranashakti
Sitting or lying down :
- Sitting or lying down :
- Put your right hand on your stomach and your left hand on your breast or your heart. Simply observe how your breath moves in your body, breathing in, and breathing out, in a wavelike movement.
- When you are in a state of sensing your body and the movement of your breath, relax your hands.
- Dwell in the presence of breathing in and breathing out, again, more deeply. Follow the path of your breath contemplating its movement.
- Your breath and its movement are the sense of everything you feel and live in this moment…rest in admiration of this moment and contemplate the breath, the life energy that you are receiving (everything as you contemplate a setting sun or the face of a baby, etc.)
- The breath expands, you feel it in your body, you become the breath.
- Observing the magic of this life within you, see that you are a miracle of life… Be immersed in this moment, the life within you!
- Be immersed, you Are LIFE!
- Dwell in gratitude of this moment, who you are.
- Dwell in the certainty that you are loved, that you are blessed.
- Nourish yourself… And feel the power of life entering into all your cells.
- Come back gently and stretch your body.
With time and the mastery of daily training (for example five minutes three times a day), you will realize that you can dwell in this presence in all aspects of your life, even in those daily tasks, be they washing the dishes, folding the laundry, filling out a report, or walking, etc.
Be the manifestation of Pranashakti through the practice of interoceptive awareness. This training makes you receptive to developing the capacity of sensing within yourself how to change your behaviour — “the shift”.
Be the miracle in your own life!

IT IS the Trust’s vision to be an outstanding provider of healthcare, research and education, and a great place to work. But we can only achieve this through balancing the three pillars of sustainability: our financial, social and environmental commitments.
Consequently, the Trust has produced a Green Plan to achieve a range of core sustainability-related objectives.
In doing so, BTHFT has recognised the importance of the NHS Sustainable Development Unit’s work, as their Sustainable Development Assessment Tool has been used as a framework to help develop our own Green Plan.
By encouraging sustainable development in all its forms, the Trust will continue to take positive steps to mitigate the effects of its activities on the environment. We already incorporate sustainability into some aspects of our activities, but recognise that more needs to be done.
Identifying the opportunities that remain will help us meet the objectives of our clinical and supporting strategies. In particular, financial benefits from increasingly sustainable activities will allow us to further invest in clinical services.
Visit the Green Plan page on our website to find out more about it and our desire to lead the NHS in sustainability.

I love using seasonal ingredients for my recipes and when I see pomegranates at the farmers’ market it can only mean that summer is over and fall is starting.
Pomegranate is such a beautiful fruit, the red shiny pearls are almost fascinating and I have to confess that removing the pearls from the skin has an extremely calming effect for me 🙂
When I used to prepare homemade baby food for my kids I really liked to use any fresh and seasonal ingredient I could find locally…and pomegranate was one of them!
yes, pomegranate is a lovely baby food ingredient 🙂
Pomegranates are a lovely and baby friendly fall fruit, loaded with antioxidants, vitamin C and K. In addition they have quite an unique taste.
This puree is on the sweet side, appropriate starting from 6M and I really like it because it has all the flavors of fall, spices included!!
I paired the pomegranate with some pumpkin (we are in Fall, aren’t we???) to add some sweetness and creaminess and a pear for that unique grainy texture. Also, I added some spices: cinnamon and nutmeg to complete the Fall flavor. The final result was so good that the whole family enjoyed it as a special dessert :-0
Preparing the baby puree is super simple:
Start with cleaning the pumpkin (peel + remove seeds + chop in small pieces). Yes, you can buy organic fresh precut pumpkin at the store, it’s fine!
Core and chop the pear in small pieces too. I didn’t peel the pear, we are going to make a puree and most of the nutrients are in the skin 😉
Steam the pumpkin cubes by themselves for 10 min and than add the pear too for additional 2 min.
Meanwhile peel the pomegranate and separate the seeds…and relax 😉
In a food processor or in a tall container if you use and immersion blender add all the ingredients: steamed pumpkin + pear + pomegranate + a pinch of cinnamon + a pinch of nutmeg and blend up until smooth. If you are preparing this puree for a little baby (+6M) be light with the spices…a tiny pinch, nothing more. Their spices sensitivity is way higher than ours!!!
The pomegranate seeds might not dissolve, it depends from the food processor speed and blades, that’s why you will need to use a sieve to completely remove the seeds from the puree.
P.S. The recipe can be frozen for up to 4 months
- 3/4 cup pomegranate pearls
- 1 pear
- 1 cup pumpkin cubes
- 1 pinch cinnamon
- 1 pinch nutmeg
Chop the pumpkin pulp in cubes
Do not peel the pear, core it and chop in cubes
Steam the pumpkin cubes for 10 min and than add the pear for additional 2 min
Peel the pomegranate and separate the pearls
In a food processor add all the ingredients and blend up until smooth
Use a sieve to completely remove the seeds from the puree.

Pandemic shapes Gen Z employer choices
The impact of the pandemic on the aspirations of Gen Z talent has been revealed in the latest employer rankings for Ireland.
The Most Attractive Employers Index Ireland 2021, which was conducted among 10,043 students across business, IT, engineering, natural sciences, humanities, law and health in Ireland, found that students across all sectors are increasingly ranking pharma and healthcare companies as the most desired places to work.
The research by e-recruitment platform IrishJobs.ie, in partnership with employer brand specialist Universum found that Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson showed particularly strong growth, moving up the rankings across most industries over the past year.
“The growth in popularity of those within the healthcare space over the past year is a very tangible reflection of how the pandemic has shaped the attitudes and aspirations of young talent in Ireland. Clearly, the unprecedented contributions made by the health and pharma community in both the public and private sector has resonated with young people”, said Steve Ward, UK and Ireland Business Director for Universum.
“Understanding the priorities of the newest cohort of talent entering the labour market will be crucial in attracting and retaining talent in the year ahead, and the Most Attractive Employers Index is one of the first pieces of data that captures the ongoing changes in student preferences.”

Author of book that inspired the romantic Best Exotic Marigold Hotel film weds fellow novelist at 65
Best Exotic Marigold Hotel author Deborah Maggoch has quietly married at the age of 65
Author Deborah Moggach has often lamented the chances of finding romantic happiness again now she is over 60.
But to the delight of friends, the writer — whose book These Foolish Things was adapted into the hit film The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel — has, I can reveal, quietly married fellow novelist Mark Williams.
And this despite her son Tom jokingly referring to Mark’s ‘racy past’, which includes a conviction for laundering more than £2 million of drugs money for which he was jailed for three years.
Williams is now turning that experience into a book and tells friends he is seeking a publisher.
When I call her, Deborah tells me: ‘We’ve all had racy pasts, so what does it matter?’
The writers have been together for more than two years.
Tommy Lee Jones lookalike Williams accompanied Moggach to Rajasthan where he photographed Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and other members of the Marigold Hotel cast.
That story told how the characters enjoyed romances late in life at a retirement hotel in India.
But that was fiction and elsewhere Deborah, now 65, spoke of her own loneliness.
After her divorce from Tony Moggach, father of her two children, she had a relationship with cartoonist Mel Calman, who died suddenly in 1994.
She then went on to share her life with Hungarian artist Csaba Pasztor, who was 15 years her junior.
At the time, she bemoaned the shortage of available men and how mature men could often date much younger women.
But when she teamed up with Mark, she proudly said: ‘He doesn’t mind wrinkles, but then he’s got some himself!'
Williams accompanied Moggach to Rajasthan where he photographed Dame Judi Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and other members of the Marigold Hotel cast
Mark’s own ‘nosedive from grace’ happened when he developed a cocaine habit back in the late Nineties, although these days he is more likely to be found writing for Saga magazine.
He says his autobiography is about ‘international illegality, corrupt coppers, glamorous women with multiple identities and much double crossing’.
A respected journalist, Williams was known as ‘Sparkly Mark’ when he was the colourful editor of a local Welsh newspaper.
One colleague fondly recalled how he was ‘the only person ever to crash a Maserati in Radnorshire’.
If there is one thing we can say about David Cameron, he is loyal to his friends.
So despite reports to the contrary, he was indeed happy to accept an invitation to celebrate PR supremo Matthew Freud’s 50th birthday party over the weekend at his home in Oxfordshire.
Indeed, Downing Street confirms that the Prime Minister was there for the milestone bash, together with his wife Sam.
And, I am also told that Chancellor George Osborne was there, too, presumably helping Freud and his wife, Elisabeth — daughter of media tycoon Rupert Murdoch — to blow out the candles.
Model Katia's Hollywood move
Who will be stamping a well-turned heel for the rights of vulnerable young models now that their chief cheerleader Katia Elizarova is planning a career in Hollywood?
Russian-born Katia Elizarova is planning a career in Hollywood but insists she won't be turning her back on the young models whose rights she is campaigning for
Russian-born Katia, 27, warned MPs last month that pretty foreign girls were being scouted abroad, then forced into cramped homes by 'unscrupulous' model agencies who charge hugely inflated rents.
She told of one 16-year-old forced to share a bed despite paying exorbitant rates.
But Katia, who has been linked with Sherlock star Benedict Cumberbatch — and who herself arrived in London aged 16 and fell prey to such practices — has her own career to think of, too.
Currently appearing in TV’s Meet The Russians reality show, she is off to Los Angeles this month to try her luck .
She had her first acting break earlier this year in Sunstroke at the tiny Platform Theatre in North London — Cumberbatch went incognito to see her in the play, I am told.
He had earlier given her acting coaching.
She tells me she has already had a couple of offers for films and says: 'I am going to LA for modelling and also to see some people in the film industry for actual castings.'
But she promises she is not giving up on her campaign and wants to meet Government ministers to press for action.

She has been dubbed ‘the female Banksy’, an anonymous street artist with a celebrity following.
And now she has found another, unwanted, parallel with the graffiti artist — she’s had one of her wall paintings stolen.
Bambi, whose works are collected by David and Victoria Beckham and Hollywood star Brad Pitt, had daubed a wall of banknotes next to a Camden cashpoint in North London.
But within hours it had been removed.
Instead of withdrawing cash they’ve taken a piece of street art worth around £25,000,’ says her manager Leonard Villa.
‘This is for everyone and not meant to make someone rich. It’s ironic because she’s just been working with Banksy in New York and no one has stolen anything, only covered up pieces.’
Earlier this year, a Banksy mural was removed from a wall and later put up for auction. Adds Villa: ‘We’re hoping the thief will return it to the streets where it belongs.’
Mike Oldfield and wife No2 split
Only last year, multi-millionaire musician Mike Oldfield said he was ‘happier than ever’ as he basked in the Bahamas sun with his much younger wife and two children.
But now I learn that the 60-year-old Tubular Bells composer and French-born Fanny, 37, have parted.
The twice-married father of seven has sold 20 million albums worldwide. In 1999, after a succession of ill-starred relationships, Oldfield met Fanny after he placed a lonely hearts ad in several newspapers.
Mike Oldfield and his second wife Fanny Van Der Kerchov have parted ways. The pair met in Oldfield's Ibiza days in 1999
The couple now have two sons, Jake, nine, and Eugene, five, and were thought to be blissfully content.
Yesterday his personal assistant Caroline Monk, who posted details of the split on Facebook, said: ‘I’m sorry, I can’t talk about it.’
Oldfield has spent time living in various countries, such as Switzerland, Ibiza and Monaco, and has sworn never to return to the UK to live. Last night, a friend of the singer told me: ‘It’s very sad but they have just drifted apart.’
Ross Marshall, founder of £70 million-a-year holiday firm Your Golf Travel, has secured the support of more than 400 clubs and hotels to provide free tuition and golf to soldiers wounded in Afghanistan.
Says Ross: ‘Golf For Heroes will enable us to show our admiration and thanks to brave soldiers who having lost limbs believed they could never ever play golf.’
Bruised by former lover Sven-Goran Eriksson’s smutty indiscretions, socialite Nancy Dell’Olio, is, in my experience, unlikely to be down for too long.
A celebrated partygoer, Nancy rarely misses a bash. Although sometimes her presence can be baffling.
I hear of one such do at the Italian embassy where writer Viscount Norwich was guest of honour.
'It was a serious cultural event with writers such as Anthony Sattin, academics and diplomats — the ambassador Giancarlo Aragona was there, too,' a guest recalls.
Few of this distinguished group knew who Nancy was, I am told.
But the caterers did and throughout the evening they thronged around her while she signed autographs. 'As the last guests departed, Nancy was there holding court with the waiters. It was a sight to behold,' I am told.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Thursday, December 9th and Friday, December 10th, U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm traveled to Illinois to underscore how the historic climate investments of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and President Biden’s Build Back Better Agenda will help lower energy costs, generate good-paying, union jobs and secure a safer and more reliable energy grid for Illinoisans and Americans across the country.
In Champaign, Secretary Granholm toured a number of facilities at the University of Illinois, including Abbott Power Plant, an energy farm, and a bioprocessing research laboratory. In Kankakee, she toured Gar Creek Solar, a community solar project located in a low-income community, and met with union workers powering Illinois' clean energy transition before touring Braidwood Nuclear Generating Station to underscore the role of nuclear energy in meeting Illinois' clean energy goals.
To conclude the trip, Secretary Granholm was joined by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker, U.S. Senator Dick Durbin (IL), U.S. Representative Lauren Underwood (IL-14), Chair of the House Subcommittee on Energy Bobby Rush (IL-01), U.S. Representative Bill Foster (IL-11), U.S. Representative Sean Casten (IL-06), and U.S. Representative Marie Newman (IL-03) to tour Fermilab National Accelerator Laboratory and deliver remarks.
In the Media
Granholm also brought a more practical expression of a commitment to Illinois’ future in developing energy and other emerging technologies. She said the recently approved Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act will have $21 billion for projects in Illinois to develop next generation technologies.
She also mentioned that the bill provides $16 billion to update the electrical grid; $6 billion to keep existing nuclear facilities alive; and $2.5 billion toward building more electrical charging stations, $149 million of that in Illinois.
“We’re here at the U of I, and they’re so advanced at identifying agricultural inputs to create ‘Energy 2.0’ — whether its miscanthus that they’re growing on the farm adjacent to the university, whether it is ethanol that is produced from sugar cane, we know that the Midwest will provide solutions to cleaning up our transportation system as well as to heating and cooling our homes and industry,” Granholm told reporters Thursday morning.
Granholm toured three campus facilities that are exploring the next generation of sustainable energy.
"The investment here in research and technology will cause the world to come here and use the tools and the equipment that are being developed here," Granholm said. "It will make Illinois a leader."
Granholm was joined by Gov. JB Pritzker and several members of the Illinois congressional delegation. She praised the work done at the lab, which develops advances in the financial and medical industries, as well as weather forecasting.
"The clean energy technologies coming out of all of our labs are critical to us combating the existential threat that Senator Durbin refers to, which is climate change."
WAND (NBC) 17: U.S. Secretary of Energy visits University of Illinois
U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm toured the University of Illinois' Center for Advanced Bioenergy and Bio-product Innovation.
Granholm said centers like this are vital to creating a clean energy future the Biden Administration is working toward.
"We know that the Midwest will provide solutions to cleaning up our transportation system as well as to heating and cooling our homes and industry," Granholm said. "We don't have to simply put carbon pollution into the air. We know that we can put people to work by next generation processes that also save the planet."

Private tenants in Moray to benefit from new rights
Easier access to your trusted, local news. Have a look at our digital subscription packages!
AROUND 8000 Moray tenants in the private rented sector are set to benefit from new rights proposed by the Scottish Greens.
A New Deal for Tenants will see rent controls introduced, new protections against eviction and the right to redecorate and keep pets.
Minister for Tenants' Rights Patrick Harvie has launched a new consultation on the proposals.
Ariane Burgess, Scottish Greens MSP for the Highlands and Islands welcomed the launch of the new deal.
She said: "Everyone has a right to a secure an affordable home, and Greens in government will enhance that right with new protections for private tenants in Moray.
"For too long insecurity and poor conditions have been far too common in the private rented sector, and we've seen rents increase, even during the pandemic. That's why we need a New Deal for Tenants, with action on unfair evictions and new rights to allow tenants make their house a home.
"Scottish Greens are on the side of tenants. This ambitious programme of reform is being led by Greens in government and will have an impact in every part of Scotland, which is why more Green councillors are needed to make it work for communities at a local level."

Electronic Arts CEO: Digital Market Will Take Over Next Year
Electronic Arts CEO John Riccitiello says digital distribution will take over the traditional console and retail business next year. After EA’s recent acquisition of social networking games developer Playfish for $300 million as part of the company’s growth strategy, it’s pretty clear he stands behind his statement.
"It's new to compete in that sector, so when people think of games they traditionally think of the Xbox, the PlayStation and the Wii, and they forget about all these online services that are out there -- subscription, micro-transactions, games they find on Facebook or if they go to Pogo," Riccitiello said in an interview with Reuters. "If you add all that stuff up, it's almost half of the industry now. It's about 40 to 45 percent. Next year it's likely to be a larger share of the total industry and it'll be bigger than the console games all put together.”
Riccitiello went on to say that the plan to build a name in the digital space began a couple years ago and has seen success.
“In the last quarter alone we did $138 million in revenue, and if EA's digital business were a standalone company it would be the darling of Wall Street," he said. "It's in a larger company right now, but we're building it very quickly and our goal at Electronic Arts is to have a very profitable packaged goods business, but also to have a digital business of a similar scale over time."
In terms of the Playfish acquisition, Riccitiello said it will allow EA to bring popular franchises such as FIFA and The Sims to Facebook and other social platforms, and any possible future acquisitions would likely be in the digital space as well.
“We're constantly trying to conquer new territory in particular on the digital side, so when you ask about deals, we're mostly looking at the digital side, we're mostly looking at compatible organizations from a culture perspective and of course you need to agree on price. And those are three hurdles that are often difficult to reach," Riccitiello admitted.
Do you agree with Riccitiello? Will the digital market be bigger than traditional console games next year?

A Japanese professional rope skipper has taken on a physically taxing 24-hour record in a bid to raise the profile of the activity he loves.
36-year-old Hijiki Ikuyama has broken the record title Most skips over a rope in 24 hours after hitting an astonishing count of 151,409 skips on 26 August.
Hijiki has several other Guinness World Record titles to his name, but he says that this was the most important challenge of his life.
How it all started
Hijiki was still an elementary school student when he first became fascinated with skipping but had a very different reason for first picking up a rope.
"I had a crush on my teacher, and I was thinking of ways to get some attention from her. Because she was pretty good at rope skipping, I thought mastering that would impress her."
The more he practiced, and the more moves he mastered as he gradually fell in love with it.
"Sometimes I was not sure whether I'd mastered a move or not at first, but when my friends and my teacher told me I'd done it, it was exhilarating. That feeling was truly special; the feeling I still carry to this day."
Towards the end of Hijiki's elementary school years, he had become so good he was selected to perform at an assembly.
Hijiki's first crush, however, moved to another school only after a year.
Making a career out of rope skipping
In his 20s, Hijiki was no longer skipping ropes and was auditioning in a bid to become an actor. But after years of non-success, Hijiki realized that he wasn't tackling the interviewer's questions head-on.
"When they often ask, 'what’s your skill?' I answered, 'maybe playing games or sleeping'. After realising I was to blame for failed auditions, I had to think everything through again."
As Hijiki started thinking about his skills, he recalled the activity that he so enjoyed doing during his youth. And when he started looking for online for some inspiration, he found more than what he expected.
"I found rope-skipping legends doing some insane moves, and I was like 'wow'. Until then, I thought double under was one of the hardest moves in rope skipping. That idea was turned upside down. The moves those legends were doing were so challenging, I couldn’t even tell what they were doing. That got me into rope skipping once again."
From there, Hijiki picked up rope skipping again, making improvements and met some rope-skipping legends to a point where he was confident to raise rope skipping as his skill. "But by then, I was so hooked on ropes, and I started to think that I can express myself more through rope skipping."
After clinching World Jump Rope Championships, as well as claiming six Guinness World Record titles, including the Most rope crossovers (criss-cross) while skipping backwards in one minute and the Most skips over a 10 m rope in 30 seconds, Hijiki is now a professional rope skipper, going to schools across Japan to teach, as well as doing performances in shopping malls and theme parks. He also makes TV appearances, showing his great skills on air.
The 24-hour attempt
One of Hijiki's biggest goals in life is to spread the fact that a job in rope skipping is a valid career option.
"I think it would be really great if kids in 20 or 30 years time ranks rope skipper as one of the top 20 or top 30 dream jobs.
"I think it’s difficult to choose your career from such a small range of options. In fact, many kids nowadays have a hard time deciding what they want to do with their lives.
"Even if they have an interest, they might give it up because there are no jobs even if you pursue it. That’s why I want to firmly establish rope skipping as a valid job. Doing the record attempt one of the means to achieve this goal."
In order to help achieve that goal, and to leave a big record in his career, Hijiki thought, 'what would happen if I rope skipped for 24 hours?'. But after some searching, he was surprised to find that there already was a record, and it was a tough figure to beat.
He began practicing for the 24-hour challenge since the end of 2017 and spoke to trainers to figure out the best way to ramp up his physique in order to attempt the record. In June of this year, Hijiki did a six-hour skip to test his stamina, followed by a 12-hour skip a month before the official attempt.
The previous record set by Isabel Bush was 151,036 skips. Just to equal this Hijiki had to skip 6,293 times in an hour (that's 105 times per minute) at an average speed of around 1.7 skips every second.
After some trials, Hijiki realized that his stamina wouldn't last without frequent breaks. In the end, the plan was to do a set of 25-minute skip followed by a five-minute rest for as long as possible which would allow him to take a 30-40-minute break to eat or get a massage.
It didn't go to plan, however.
"It was so tough I had to take 10-minute breaks every 20 minutes. The guidelines allowed me to skip a large rope spun by assistants so the plan was to alternate between a large rope and short rope. But for the long rope, we didn’t practice together beforehand, and we couldn’t synchronize properly so I kept on trapping the rope and losing time."
"Eight hours before the end of the attempt, I ditched the large rope and skipped solo – I thought I have to go and push the limit."
Towards the end of the attempt, Hijiki's body had indeed reached its limit, and there were many moments where he was close to toppling over.
"Sometimes my muscles won’t listen to what I’ve told them to do – this sensation I’ve never experienced before."
Hijiki says what took him to the end of the attempt were the people supporting him from the sidelines.
"They really wanted to do whatever they could to make it to the very end, and to beat the record. At the very end, all I heard was people cheering for me. Although I was the one doing the skips, we did the attempt together."
As the large race clock hit "24.00.00", everyone at the venue was ecstatic, with cheers and tears abound. With 151,409 skips, he successfully broke the Guinness World Records title.
Rope skip gone full circle
According to Hijiki, it took him a couple of weeks for the record-breaking moment to seep in.
"After two weeks, I can finally start to feel what I had achieved. I had no energy left at the end of the attempt, so I couldn’t really feel it then. But now I can finally look back and think about what I’ve done."
When asked what message he would give to those who are pursuing their dreams, he answered: "I’m still partway (in my pursuit) so I’m no expert, but ‘dream’ is not a word I like very much.
"But I do like the word ‘chance’ because I think that people who have been doing one thing for a very long time will have more chance than those who don’t.
"Whether a dream can be fulfilled or not is up to that person, I think to be able to feel that you are increasing your chance to fulfil your dream will bring excitement to your everyday life, so I think it’s important to keep your head down in that one thing."
And finally, we asked Hijiki whether he's had the chance to meet the first crush he's had in elementary school. It turns out, he had.
"I’ve been visiting many schools, and I always had in the back of my mind that maybe one day I will see her again. And it happened! Three or four years ago I went to a school to teach, and to my surprise, it was where my first crush now teaches at.
"After all these years, I was finally able to reunite with her. I’ve told her I had a crush on her back then, although she shrugged it off. To meet again after literally decades is like a dream, and I feel the rope brought this crush to full circle – it was one of those precious moments where I was so glad I’ve been skipping ropes."

“Every time we get jointly, it’s like a 1st date,” Ms. Schneider explained. “When we are apart, there are more than enough cellphone calls and emails to present the emotional support we may well will need to get by a negative working day. If we lived in the similar town, my career, which I am pushed by, would have been a resource of conflict alternatively of celebration.”
When questioned why they made the decision to get married presented their snug existence, Ms. Schneider mentioned merely, “Marriage is a really pleased way to rejoice 20 a long time collectively.”

He is a son of the late Barbara J. Moss and the late Henry S. Moss, who the two lived in Glenview, Ill.
■ The day after they achieved, Ms. Schneider, who was in Chicago, satisfied Mr. Moss for a initial day at what she assumed would be a restaurant there. Rather, Mr. Moss questioned her to go swimming with him at his health club. When she said she did not have a swimsuit, he purchased her gymnasium shorts and a sports bra, and off they went. (Mr. Moss is now the coach of a United States Masters Swimming club team in Chicago referred to as the Large Ridge Y.M.C.A. Bottlenosers, and Ms. Schneider is 1 his top rated swimmers. Sorry crew, they skipped a satisfy past 7 days to just take an additional kind of plunge.) VINCENT M. MALLOZZI

In accordance with Buddhist traditions, many of the resources such as online courses, guided meditations and video talks available from this website are freely offered as dana. Dana refers to the economy of generosity where the teachings and services are given freely and those who receive this gift have the opportunity to reciprocate. In the case of the dana offered from this website, reciprocation in the form of a financial gift is most practical.
The aim of dana is to cultivate joy from generosity and this is an important step on a path of healing and awakening. The amount you choose to give or not give with dana is completely up to you. If you give too much resulting in difficulty, hardship and regrets for your self, then it defeats the purpose. Conversely, if you would like to give and do not, or give what is in your mind as too little, then again the function of dana is defeated.
A link to giving dana is provided below. We rejoice in your generosity and may the joy be shared.
If you wish to offer dana by bank deposit within Australia use these details: Name: Malcolm Huxter BSB 722744 Account Number: 100134481

A week ago I took my kids over to BYU campus for a short while to kill some time while my wife was at the doctor. Even though we have lived in Utah Country for as long as we’ve been married, we rarely make it over to BYU campus anymore. Our kids know some parts of campus better than others.
Last week I took them to the Joseph Smith Building. We have a special connection to the Joseph Smith Building, and I wanted my kids to experience it.
The construction of the Joseph Smith Building was completed in 1991. At that time, my family lived across the street from brother Franz Johansen, who had been a BYU professor of fine art. He was a wonderful neighbor, and a very talented artist.
Many members of the church have seen Brother Johansen’s work without knowing his name. He created the large relief sculpture on the outside of the Church History Museum on West Temple in Salt Lake City. The doors of the Seattle and Washington D.C. Temples are his work. His sculptures have been seen in the Museum of Art Garden at BYU. And he created the bas relief stone panels for the Harold B. Lee Library.
I remember one time when the bishopric of our ward had him give a presentation to all of the young men about art. We all went down to campus where he showed us a slide show of all kinds of artwork, and discussed why artists study anatomy. But that’s a different story.
Brother Johansen shared his talent with our family. I remember visiting the studio in his home on various occasions where he would tell us about what he was working on. Sometimes he would invite members of my family to model for him.
Which brings us back to the Joseph Smith Building. On the north-facing exterior of the Joseph Smith Building there is another of Brother Johansen’s works. And immortalized in that relief sculpture is my sister, who modeled for Brother Johansen when he was creating it.
We stopped outside of the Joseph Smith Building last week. “Why are we here?!” whined my second daughter, who was tired of walking in the hot August sun. “I want to show you something,” I explained. “Come look at this.”
I pointed to the relief artwork on the building. “That’s your aunt Becca,” I told them. We talked about Brother Johansen and how my sister had been the model. I snapped the picture included above, and we headed back to the car.
Innumerable people pass by the Joseph Smith Building. Most hardly notice. But I always stop to look. It looks like my sister, preserved in carbonite like Han Solo from Star Wars, and hung on the wall.
You can read more about Brother Franz Johansen and look at a few of his works of art at the website of the Springville Art Museum.

Have you ever stopped to think about all the places you have slept? Both readers probably already have sly grins on their faces but I am specifically referring to outdoor-related napping sites.
This thought came to me yesterday as I was wedged for over four hours in the tiny backseat of a friend’s pickup truck during a hunting trip. Since our trio included a buddy who spends a considerable amount of time in the gym and is the size of D7 Bulldozer, it seemed better that the writer ride in the jump seat behind the front seat.
Wedged into this uncomfortable space, I decided lie down and take a nap because we had left home at 4 a.m. as is typical for outdoor adventures. Finally, using two rolled-up floor mats, I wiggled around into a position that was only moderately uncomfortable and dozed off while listening to the murmur of conversation coming from the front seats.
I awoke a short time later when everything south of the Mason-Dixon Line had fallen asleep and was now protesting the awkward position into which my legs had been twisted. When we finally arrived home, I had a Charlie horse that could have won the Kentucky derby and I needed the fire department Jaws of Life to extract me from the truck cab. Overall, it was a fine day.
Yesterday was a typical outdoor expedition and I’m sure many readers have also spent time trying to catch a few winks while crammed into a truck for several hours. In fact, it could be said that such experiences are almost universal to the outdoor lifestyle.
Another such experience is trying to doze off against a rattling vehicle window after spending a miserably cold day afield. This is sheer desperation borne out of the incredible sleepiness that overtakes you once the heater begins pumping out its soothing warmth. Such napping is desperation because the thin skin covering the human skull makes a poor cushion between the hard window glass and the equally hard bone. You are more likely to sleep with your head on a runaway paint mixer.
The alternative is laying your head on the shoulder of the buddy who is crammed into the middle seat between you and the driver, but this is never done in proper circles. If you ever consider such a technique, consult an attorney and your religious advisor beforehand.
There are other, more interesting places where sleep is attempted during outdoor adventures. Ice fishing shanties are a prime spot even though I have never been comfortable dozing off in these tiny offshore cabins because ice in Indiana is such an ephemeral concept and taking along an emergency scuba tank seems like overkill.
Deer stands are a ubiquitous sleep spot. In fact, I have had several world-class bucks slip past me while I caught a few minutes of inadvertent shuteye. At least, that is my story and I dare you to prove different.
Sometimes sleep is a great antidote for anxiety caused by knowing that you are going to be killed within a few minutes. A couple of years ago I pulled down my jacket hood and tried to doze in a sitting position while a fishing guide practiced his routine for the upcoming “World’s Most Dangerous Boating Stunts.” I couldn’t sleep but at least I couldn’t see the things we nearly hit. The same thing also works with buddies who enjoy looking at the scenery while driving rather than the oncoming semi-trucks.
One of my most memorable outdoor sleeping spots was lying sprawled atop our camping gear in the back of a van as we drove to Kentucky for a paddling trip. My friends in the front seats were getting very upset at the stares they received from passing motorists until they discovered that I had awoken, put on a pink plastic kayak helmet and was making faces and licking the rear window in a demented fashion. It was highly enjoyable.
I don’t include camping in this discussion even though it does feature sleep as prime part of the experience, stretching out on a comfy air mattress or sleeping pad is worlds apart from trying to catch a few winks in the bed of a bouncing pickup trip all the way from West Virginia because it was that or walk home.
As with most things in life, it is not the bucolic and satisfying experiences that are so memorable as is the miserable. Think of all the leg cramps, backaches and sore necks that have accumulated over a lifetime of trying to grab a small siesta while engaged in outdoor pursuits. In fact, after considering all the fun that was had in spite of the discomfort, you might even decide that the pleasure was worth all the pain.
Just don’t try telling that to my right calf.

We used to look forward to emails. When we received a “you’ve got mail” alert, we were eager to see who it was trying to communicate with us. Now, outside of work, most of us receive email overload and rarely want to open them. Vendors have it rough. If they want to engage with us, whether it be on the phone, by email or via the ads we see online, it better be worth our while. Consumers of today want personalized messages and offers, and if vendors can’t keep up with those demands, competitors are easily accessible and just a few clicks away.
Unique experiences for customers start with reliable information about them. If the data isn’t right, everything you try to do with it will be wrong – that includes segmentation and targeted campaigns. Having inaccurate or even conflicting data stored in siloed customer data handling systems such as ERPs or CRMs can hurt projects before they even start. It’s like building a house on a shaky foundation. Yet, according to Forbes, 87% of executives are still not highly confident they are leveraging all available customer data. Experian elaborates by stating that while organizations believe that 30% of their data is inaccurate, a staggering 83% of them see data as an integral part of their business strategy.
Naturally, no one starts out with the goal of having poor data, nor the accompanying bad outcomes. But when customer data is fragmented, siloed, duplicated or incomplete it harms your company’s performance, reputation and profitability.
If you want to avoid the avoidable and truly create a marketing center of excellence for your customers, you’ll need to get your basics right first. Here are some tips on how you can do just that using a customer master data management (CMDM) solution.
Get your data quality right so you can trust it
First things first, you’ll need to get your customer data right before anything else. Gaining a single, unified view of your customers does not necessarily mean getting rid of your current customer data handling systems. Stibo Systems’ CMDM solution, for instance, uses matching and linking algorithms to merge disparate customer records from your systems into one single version of the truth - what we call “golden records.”
Cleaning and deduping functionality will help you correct, standardize and verify customer information (including real-time address, email and telephone validation), identify and merge duplicates, and enhance master records.
Once created, the golden records are available to personalize customer experiences with precision, because they’ll represent a complete view that spans across channels and touchpoints. Internally, staff no longer have to waste their time collecting and maintaining data across multiple business applications.
Understand and utilize customer behavior and history
Now that you know exactly who your customers are, you can start building on and improving their loyalty through personalized interaction based on transactional and behavioral patterns. You can use CMDM to create a golden record, as well as identify relationships between customer entities, including how, where, when and what customers view and purchase.
Every interaction is stored centrally in the system and can be utilized to anticipate what would be the best next marketing move from your side. This is where data quality becomes a competitive advantage.
Go create personalized marketing campaigns
With a 360° view of customers, you’re able to increase revenue opportunities through complete solution selling, product bundling, and more attractive up-selling or cross-selling offers. In addition, CMDM brings data confidence to marketers looking to make improvements to their campaigns, without risking using obsolete data before launch.

There’s a whole industry surrounding weight loss because it is such a challenging feat. This is especially true as you continue to age. Your hormones change as you get older. Your metabolism slows down too. Figuring out how to lose weight can begin to feel like solving problems in an advanced calculus class. Thankfully, there are a few tried and true tips you can commit to in order to see results.
Incorporate More Plants Into Your Diet
No, you don’t have to become a full-fledged vegetarian. However, there’s something really powerful about eating foods that have live enzymes. If you can eat fruits and vegetables in raw form, you’ll give your body tons of nutrients to sustain energy, optimal health and more. Plus, they’re really low in calories. You eat a large bowl of green, leafy vegetables and only consume 50 calories. It’s okay to add grilled chicken breast strips, a light salad dressing, and other nutritious toppings for an optimal meal.
Use Supplemental Products
If you’re trying to stay away from sugar, it’s okay to find sugar-free supplements that will satiate your sweet tooth yet keep you on track. When you’re looking for a supplement to curb your appetite, an option that contains Pure HCG will help you tremendously. Before consuming a product with pure HCG, it’s a wise idea to consult your physician for approval. Also, remember to take a daily multi-vitamin for overall nutrition and health.
As you implement these tips, know that it will take time to see your results. Before you decide to throw in the towel, give this regimen 90 days of hard-core commitment. Also, when you’re looking for a great supplement with pure HCG, utilize the resources that companies like SkinnyUP! provide. The body of your dreams is waiting for you when you’re ready to go after it.

The East of England consists of Bedfordshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk with the latter regions generally being known as East Anglia. The area stretches from the north and north east of London to The Wash which is the estuary bordering Norfolk and Lincolnshire.
Over six million people reside here in this striking part of the country which is characterised by waterways, lakes, rivers and canals. Despite the abundance of water, you will find that the east of England is actually the driest place (weather-wise) in the whole of the UK due to the temperate maritime climate.
The region appears to have the secret to ongoing economic success as according to the ONS, it had the lowest unemployment rate in the UK (in the three months ending in November 2020). In the same number of months, employment was calculated to be 76.9% and unemployment was a mere 4.6% compared with a UK national average of 75.2% and 5% respectively. This is an area that can retain and expand its economy and the region as a whole, oversees the fourth largest amount of exporting in the UK and favours a strong financial sector, manufacturing and advanced manufacturing, engineering, pharmaceuticals, scientific research, offshore renewables, agri tech/ agriculture and ICT, thus proving time and time again that this is a place for investment and endless possibilities.
One of the UK’s busiest airports, Stansted, which is little over 40 miles from central London, is easily accessible via road. Stena line ferries operate regularly from Harwich in Essex to the Hook of Holland with Felixstowe Port in Suffolk dealing with almost half of the UK’s active container trade.
Of course, tourism brings in a steady flow of income and with a recent 218 million pounds investment to improve the region's network of roads, pavements and bridges, one can travel effortlessly to destinations like the Norfolk Broads which is Britain's largest protected wetland. Norwich is described as the best medieval city in the UK and Kings Lynn has more graded buildings than the ancient city of York with Great Yarmouth having 15 miles of beaches which includes the famous ‘Golden Mile’. Majestic cathedrals and stately homes are plentiful and even the Queen chooses to reside here at times at her beloved Sandringham in Norfolk which is a coastal area of outstanding natural beauty. The highly regarded Cambridge University is consistently ranked one of the best in the world and at certain times you can walk around the colleges, associated buildings and grounds that encompass the university.
The pace here is unhurried yet everything still gets done. The spark and dynamism within the people and their consistent work ethic is apparent.
House prices are more expensive here than in some other parts of the country simply because of the influence of London which is in commuting distance but salaries do reflect this. Another factor to consider is that the region is often in highly favourable positions on lists of ‘best places to live’. Only here do you have the choice of living in either grand and noble homes, quaint farming cottages, sleek city apartments, neat and tidy semis, or canal boats and historic windmills!
Check out our full and comprehensive list of upcoming events.

In the latest newsletter from Pen Chalet, I caught a glimpse of their newest ink. However, this ink had a special twist – it is a collaboration between Pen Chalet and ColorVerse and a limited edition as well. Only 300 boxes of the ink duo will be available and only from Pen Chalet.
The name of the inks are Monsoon Storm and Monument Valley (80mL for $36). They come together in a large-ish cardstock box with labels portraying scenes that have inspired the names of each ink.
As usual, there are plenty of little goodies included inside the Colorverse box. First, these cards show a larger image of the drawings from the outside of the box – each card matches the color of the ink.
A small packet of items is also included – two sets of stickers, a clip bookmark, a pen stand, and a napkin.
The napkin is useful to wipe off your pen if you want to fill up as soon as you’ve opened the ink. I’ve always thought it was a rather strange addition, however.
One card has detailed information about the inks including their RGB code, Pantone number, and pH of the ink.
At one point in their past, ColorVerse had an issue with bottles occasionally breaking during shipment. In response to their customers, they changed the packaging to better protect the contents and they’ve done a great job with it. Each bottle is snug in foam cutouts. I’ve also found this useful for holding bottles securely while I am making ink swatches – cats can be cruel when it comes to open bottles of ink.
The two bottles are of different sizes. Monsoon Storm comes in a 65mL bottle while Monument Valley contains 15mL.
Monsoon Storm is a beautiful dark teal that leans towards green.
Below are a few comparisons to other inks in the same color area. Private Reserve Ebony Blue is a very close match including a slight red sheen.
The sheen in Monsoon Storm can be tough to see – no sheen monster here. The subtle sheen that is produced can be seen but takes a backseat to the true color of the ink.
The flow of Monsoon Storm is a bit on the wet side of medium. I found it quite pleasant to use in a medium Pilot Metropolitan.
Now for Monument Valley. Usually, in ColorVerse ink sets, the smaller bottle is my favorite color and this set doesn’t disappoint there.
Monument Valley is a rusty orange that leans towards yellow.
Comparing the ink to other colors, I found it closest to Monteverde Copper Noir, but the shading reminded me of Noodler’s Habanēro. Perhaps related to Noodler’s Apache Sunset as well.
The shading shows colors from the rusty orange to a yellow that leans heavily to orange.
A very slight silver sheen occasionally showed up and reminded me a bit of Pen Addict Fire on Fire. The flow of this ink was on the dry side and would best be used in a pen that can compensate for that characteristic. I used a TWSBI Go with a fine nib and the dryness bothered me a bit.
Here is a double swab of the two colors together. I love the contrast of the two inks and I think both the colors and the names were well chosen.
I hope this is not the last collaboration ink we will see from Pen Chalet! They’ve done a great job with this one.
- Papers: Birmingham Pen Company A5 Slim Notebook ($8.99)
- Swatch cards: Col-O-Ring ink testing cards ($10)
- Ink: ColorVerse Pen Chalet Special Edition Monsoon Storm and Monument Valley (80ml for $36)
Disclaimer: The ink used for this review was obtained for free from Pen Chalet for the purposes of this review. All other items in this review were purchased by me. For more information, visit our About page.

Playing the blame game
Reading the coverage of the devastation caused to Texas and its power grid by the recent polar vortex has been sobering and instructive. What’s clear is that many see these disasters as a chance to sharpen their knives and have a dig at whichever aspect of the system they don’t like: Renewables, fossil fuels, deregulation, poor demand forecasting, the lack of an explicit capacity market, Texas’s stubborn refusal to be electrically connected to the rest of the US – all these have been fingered as the culprit. They are all wrong, or at best only a partial explanation of what happened.
In case you’ve been avoiding media for the past couple of weeks, you can catch up on the basics of the Texas energy crisis in our previous blog on the subject. Suffice to say it was one of the most serious and large scale losses of electricity supply in a rich country in recent years.
To understand what the underlying issue really is, it’s useful to consider two concepts: resilience and governance. The resilience of a system is its ability to stand up to extreme events – mostly but not only weather. This may require very different considerations from how best to run a system in normal conditions. In particular, it’s not the kind of problem that a market can be assured of naturally solving (although markets can often deliver resilience – think of the insurance and reinsurance markets, which are designed to provide financial resilience to extreme events). This isn’t a reason not to have a market, but rather a reason to consider what regulations could augment the market to provide resilience.
In this case, the Texas electricity system lacked resilience in two ways. One is that many generators were not protected from extreme cold weather. The types of generators affected this way include wind, gas, coal and nuclear – a clear sign that explanations focussed on this or that generation type are way wide of the mark. Fundamentally, this is a sign that the revenue opportunities for being available during a very rare cold snap did not outweigh the upfront cost of “weatherising” plant to make sure it would run on these very cold days. How rare this cold snap was is debatable. A similar cold snap occurred in 2011, but in many parts of the state, the minimum temperature was more like an even colder spell in 1989 or in some cases back to 1947. In any case media coverage has largely cited 1989 and 2011 as the two points of comparison in recent history, which is supported by a technical assessment following the 2011 event. That’s two times in the last 40 years, which is a pretty rare revenue opportunity. In other words, it makes more sense to think of the lack of weatherisation not as a market failure, but as the kind of resilience that is not likely to be delivered by the market alone.
This is evidenced by the fact that after the 2011 event, ERCOT, the market operator for Texas recommended weatherisation and reviewed companies’ plans and actions, but there was no mandatory requirement. If ERCOT didn’t think it needed to (or wasn’t empowered to) insist on weatherisation, then a capacity market or a different generation mix would have made no difference.
The second element of the lack of resilience was that even if the gas generators were all winterized and ready to run, they couldn’t all get fuel. The Texan gas system runs largely on a just-in-time basis, given that most gas is sourced in-state and there is normally scope to ramp up production quickly in response to increased demand. But as with the power sector, a lot of the gas infrastructure froze up and gas flows were significantly down. At the same time, demand for gas for residential heating skyrocketed, and this use is given priority (side note for climate warriors who think this “proves” Texas shouldn’t be using so much gas-powered generation – under a decarbonisation scenario, this heating load would all be electrified and so the demand spike would need to be solved for the electricity system – in other words it just moves the problem around).
This brings us round to the second point – governance. ERCOT has no jurisdiction over the natural gas industry or its infrastructure. This is regulated (lightly, of course, it’s Texas after all) by the Railroad Commission of Texas (RRC, which, by the by, no longer regulates the rail sector…). In other words, it’s a systems issue, covering areas under the jurisdiction of multiple regulators (you could add in housing design and water supply as other areas to consider), and so the buck has to stop with the state government. It’s there that the trade-offs of incurring extra costs in different sectors of the economy against protecting Texans from the impact of extreme weather need to be debated and decided. And it’s the government that needs to follow through on the outcomes, even if specific monitoring and enforcement activity is delegated to ERCOT, the RRC or some other agency. The considerations may need to cover another dimension of resilience – financial resilience – if reports of retailers declaring bankruptcy are any guide.
It’s too early to say if this will happen. The firing of ERCOT’s CEO suggests that the focus is still on pointing the finger elsewhere and finding convenient scapegoats. Hopefully the inevitable reviews and inquiries over the next few months will allow for real solutions to be advanced.

Apologies for it being so long between posts but it has been quite difficult to find time to myself with the computer set up for me to write using my voice recognition. Progress for me has been steady and some wonderful things happening with my body. My legs just want to work even though I can’t feel them! There is a stationary bike here and (when wheeled up and strapped in) my legs are able to pedal and it is very exciting to see my legs move even just a little bit. The movements are not particularly controllable but I’m hoping that improves with time. My arms however appear to be on holidays! My biceps work and my shoulders work a little bit but are very very sore and weak. My triceps work a little bit but my wrists and hands at this point do not work at all. It is very very frustrating as you could imagine. I only have feeling on my skin above my chest. This is the new body but I’m getting used to it.
The challenge of the last month has really been mental. I’ve had some very dark periods just wondering what is going on and why I have been placed in his position. Over the last two weeks my mental state has improved as a result of being able to go home and be with my wife and daughter in our house. The modifications to our house over the last few weeks has made it more of a quadriplegic warehouse! But thanks to a few friends of mine, Mick – I have ramps to get in the back doorway; Stewey and Danny and a couple of others I have a suitable bathroom that allows me to be home all weekend. We have a laundry that is now a bathroom, and a lounge room that is now my bedroom, and a living room that is the laundry and my exercise room thanks to the arrival of the Fes bike! Again I have friends to thank that have allowed the purchase of this machine. This machine is hopefully my ticket to some health and exercise in this body that doesn’t work like it used to. It allows me to pedal with both my arms and legs using an electric stimulation of my muscles. Even though I’m not controlling the movements my body is moving and my muscles are working. It even causes your heart rate to rise a little. I used it on the weekend twice and both times it made me feel fantastic so thank you to those people who have contributed to the purchase of this device.
On the weekend I did some simple things such as walk the dog, read the newspaper, watch some tele, go to my daughter’s dancing class, and visit some neighbours as well as having some friends dropping in to say hi. The weekend felt somewhat normal and I returned to rehabilitation on Monday feeling refreshed and ready to go. At this point in my rehabilitation this is an absolute blessing. So thanks to everyone who has allowed this to happen so soon in my rehabilitation. There are others here who have not left this place in nine months and you can see what effect it has had on them mentally. Obviously the most important person for me to thank is my lovely wife who has worked tirelessly to get me home. She’s an amazing woman with more energy and commitment than anyone I know. Whilst I was at home on Sunday, Moni, some cousins, some friends, and just some wonderful volunteers sold some raffle tickets to help us out. What wonderful gestures! These gestures will not go to waste as even though I need some help now I know I’ll be able to do some wonderful things for the cycling community, my local community and our friends and family when I’m back “on my feetâ€ÂÂ.
I cannot describe to you the dark periods I have in my mind at present. But by the same token it is mixed with wonderful thoughts and time spent with my family and friends who are visiting me and helping me out on a daily basis. And I know my life will be very different with this condition but I also know it will be wonderful whatever the future holds. I cannot wait to finish my rehabilitation and get fully back into life particularly with my wife and daughter. I also know that I’ll be able to make a fist of my own life as well as enjoying the lives of those around me. My computing skills are on the improve despite not being able to touch the computer (using voice recognition) and I’m thinking of ways to do lots of things such as shave, clean my teeth, drink a milkshake, eat a sandwich or hamburger and even use my phone. So if you want to give me a call and I’m not busy during the day I can answer my mobile phone! I can even send text messages now from my computer using voice recognition – Now that is cool! Just be aware that if you call me I will have to put you on speakerphone so don’t say anything too crass!
To finish up, I want to thank everyone who is thinking of me, doing things for me and contributing to the fund-raising to get me home in the best state I can be. I think of you all every moment of every day and am humbled by what people are doing for me. I hardly think I’m worth it and I cannot wait to repay you all in some way in the future. In particular, apart from contributing to my family again and spending time with friends that I enjoy the company of immensely, I want to do things for the cycling community to improve safety on some of the main routes in Melbourne so that what happened to me on Beach Road will be a thing of the past.
Thanks for listening and keeping in touch with the website and all you are doing to help me out. Keep safe and keep well.

How To Play Blackjack Online
It is one of the most admired card games of all times. Usually played by two partnerships, but 2 player spades game is a very appropriate substitute for the popular 4 players game. Below you can learn how to play spades with 2 people. Technically, there is no restriction or upper limit to how many decks of cards can be used in blackjack. However, the more the number of cards, the greater is the complexity of the game. Modern blackjack, as played in most land-based casinos from Las Vegas to Macau, uses six to eight decks of the standard 52 playing cards.
The dealer will first flip over the “hole card” to reveal his two-card starting hand. The dealer is then required to play his hand in a very specific way, with no choices allowed. After all of the players have finished their hands, the dealer will complete his hand, and then pay the winning bets and collect the losing bets. In these games, the players’ cards are dealt face down, and players pick up the cards. When handling the cards in a hand-held game, here are a few important things to remember.
If the first two cards of your hand total 20, these Lucky Ladies are multiplied between 4 and 1000 times, depending on the make-up of your hand. It prevents players from marking the top card, or from accidental exposure to players prior to the deal. If the casino wants to burn cards to deter card counting, they would periodically burn several cards in the middle of the shoe to more effectively mess with player counts. To the average blackjack player who is not counting cards, it makes very little difference in terms of expected return and house edge. Card counters want as few decks as possible to simplify their counts, however.
That creates a 5.88% house edge on the insurance bet in single deck. It’s even worse in six decks with a 7.40% house edge. Much of the excitement and profit in blackjack comes from hands where you are able to “double down”. This option is available only with a two card hand, before another card has been drawn.
When the dealer gets to you hold up only your forefinger showing the dealer you want one card. As a beginner it is a good idea to say that you want to double down as well as give the signal. You will receive your card and if you win you get paid for both bets but that also means that when you lose you will lose both bets. If your 1st two cards equal a 9, 10 or 11 then you may choose to double down.
When a jack is played, the first player to slap the jack wins the entire pile of cards. Once that player adds all of the cards they won to the bottom of their pile, play continues until another jack appears. The game continues in this way until one player has collected all of the cards. The game continues, passing between the two players, until all of the cards have been matched into sets of four cards of a kind (four aces, four fives, etc.).
