Held every August on Woodbine’s world famous EP Taylor Turf course, the $500,000 Grade I (Can) Breeders’ Stakes is the third jewel of the Canadian Triple Crown for three-year-old Canadian-bred thoroughbreds. As the finale to the series, the Breeders’ Stakes holds the distinction of the winner possibly making history as a Triple Crown champion. Seven have done so, but five other horses have won the first two legs, but failed the Breeders’ Stakes test.
With a possible Triple Crown championship to be won, the Breeders’ Stakes is one of the most watched and wagered-on races of the Canadian thoroughbred season. What that means is big pools for the handicapper, and the best way to try and win a share is to wager with one of our trusted online racebook partners.
* REMINDER! - you must be of legal age in your state or province to legally wager on the Arlington Million or any other horse race. Please bet responsibly!
As mentioned above, a lot of money can be put down on the Breeders’ Stakes, and account holders at Bodog can put a bet down with a couple clicks and get the same competitive odds as trackside, plus the benefit of extra rewards and cash bonuses.
Danish Dynaformer proved too powerful in the 2015 Breeders’ Stakes, unleashing a powerful stretch run to overhaul the pacesetter and win going away. The distance-loving son of Dynaformer earned the decisive win after competing in all three legs of the Canadian classic series. Danish Dynaformer had finished second in the Queen’s Plate and sixth in the Prince of Wales Stakes before finally getting over his preferred surface – turf – in the 125th running of the Breeders’ Stakes. Sent to post as the 7/5 favorite, the strapping colt added to trainer Roger Attfield’s record, giving the veteran Woodbine conditioner his ninth win in the Breeders’ Stakes dating back to 1986. Jockey Patrick Husbands earned his fourth Breeders’ Stakes win – also a record. The well-regarded Conquest Boogaloo ran on to finish second, but was beaten 7 1/2 lengths.

A Few Bits of Trivia!
First run in 1889, the Breeders’ Stakes is what makes the Canadian Triple Crown unique from the American version in that it is run on the turf (the other legs of the Canadian Triple Crown are run on polytrack and dirt surfaces). This presents a unique challenge for horse racing fans betting on the race, in that they not only have to handicap which horses can last the grueling 1 1/2 miles distance, but whether they can handle the grass surface.
The speed record for the Breeder’s Stakes is 2:25.2, set in 1995 by Charlie’s Dewan, who was a grandson of the great Affirmed, the 1978 American Triple Crown champion. In one of the most exciting finishes in the race history, Charlie’s Dewan battled Mt. Sassafras to a nose victory in a photo finish. Mt. Sassafras would go on to finish a very close fourth in the 1996 Breeders’ Cup Classic behind Hall of Famer Cigar, and would be named Canada’s Older Horse of the Year for 1996. | 2019-04-24T05:50:00 | https://www.offtrackbettingontario.com/canada-horse-races/bet-on-the-breeders-stakes.html |
• The Bin Bag: Pick up a bin bag and go round the house filling it with junk that can be binned. Look for toys that are broken or missing pieces, electrical leads that are no longer useful, junk mail, pens/pencils that no longer work, magazines that you still haven’t got round to reading.
• By type: Choose an item that is not confined to one room such as clothes, pictures, books and gadgets. Go around the whole house and get rid of those that no longer bring you joy.
• Timer: If you’re short of time, set a timer and completely empty one drawer or cupboard. Clean it if necessary and then put everything back in, getting rid of anything that is broken, incomplete or useless.
• The big one: set aside a time slot (it could be a whole day or weekend) to tackle an area. It could be a garage or attic. Get friends round to help if needs be (or a professional organiser).
• Charity: pick a local charity that you support and give them your good quality items that can be treasured and loved by someone else. It will also raise funds for your chosen cause too! Here in Hereford I recommend St Michael’s Hospice who will pick your larger items up.
• Friends/Family: Think of the second life your possessions will get when they are used and loved by friends/family. But you must allow them the opportunity to decline and don’t be offended if they do.
• Sell: EBay is the most popular way to sell items but is very time consuming. I recommend doing your research to see what you are selling will be worth the hassle.
• Freecycle: this is my favourite site. Just advertise the things you want to get rid of and someone will come and collect it from your doorstep. Easy!
• Store: for valuable or precious items that you can’t easily or safely store at home, then consider storage as temporary solution. If you are storing papers or furniture, then I recommend using a heated storage company (like Woodlands here in Herefordshire) so that your precious items don’t deteriorate.

With the advancement of technology and awareness of taking good care of our environment, researchers, scientists, environmentalists and the like are aggressively pushing people to invest more in solar power energy.
As citizens of this world, it is our responsibility to take care of our planet as much as it required of us. There are plenty of ways to be a part of this advocacy and to help move forward to a brighter future and a better and more liveable place, and that is to choose solar power as our source of energy. There are a few convincing reasons why.
Let’s face it. As homeowners, you always scratch your head every time utility bills reach your hands. Not only do you have to worry about electricity bills, but also water bills and other expenses. Reality is, energy costs are increasing and it is evident over the past few years. For now, there’s now slowing it down yet. To solve this problem, installing a solar system is what you can do.
As you choose to invest and install a solar panel on your residential or commercial space, you are sure of drastic reduction of your utility bills most especially electricity. You may need to pay much today, but that’s the very reason why it is called an investment. You may see a very wide margin of difference in the years to come. As a business owner or homeowner, this can be the wisest decision you can make today.
Once you install a solar panel, your return of investment will be evident in the years to come. Do not expect to see a lot of changes in the next few days, weeks, and months. As you let years pass by, you will reap a return of investment in installing a solar energy system.
To view this positively, instead of seeing it as an expense, look at the benefits you will have in the future. It’s all a matter of perspective. As a homeowner, when you install a solar energy system, you are guaranteed of a 20% or more of your investment. More cash going in, less cash going out.
Aside from an assured return of investment, the last convincing reason why you should install a solar panel now and not later is an increase of your property value. As you setup a solar panel system on your home or business spaces, its price value has already increased as there is a demand from people to go solar.
Recently, studies have shown that properties that have installed solar energy systems have higher property value compared to those that have none. If you decide to have your property on sale or for rent, guaranteed that its value is higher compared to what it is. With more money coming in, more money in return, and less expense on your bills, you are more satisfied and happy. Plus, you are contributing for the betterment of our environment.
Consider this a matter of urgency. Investing on solar installation can be your wisest decision that you can make now and not later. It’s all on your hands. So how can you make this happen?
1. Ask – If you are not yet fully bought in the idea of solar energy and its benefits, ask friends who have already invested on this. If none, ask any of solar panel distributors and providers or search it up yourself in Google. If they give a positive feedback, for sure you are making the right decision.
2. Call – Once you are sold out to investing on solar installation, then give your local providers and distributors a call. If you are in Winnipeg, PowerTec Solar is the company of choice. They have financing arrangements and other services you can avail of.
For every solar installation, not only are you helping yourself, but your are helping this world become safer and cleaner. | 2019-04-26T14:49:14 | https://powertecsolar.ca/solar-install/ |
NEW YORK – Most American children get their first exposure to ballet from holiday performances of the fantasy “The Nutcracker.” But very few will know how deeply the production is linked to a shy Osage girl who became one of America’s first international star ballerinas.
The connection came into the spotlight recently in a gala New York City Ballet celebration of 50 years of its “Nutcracker” production. The performance was scheduled to feature Mari Tallchief, the first American to dance the Sugar Plum Fairy, as guest of honor.
A Nor’easter kept Tallchief from making the flight from her home in Chicago, but the occasion revived memories of her crucial role in making ballet an American art form. In the late `40s, Tallchief was the star performer and wife of the great George Balanchine, whose influence still pervades American ballet. It was their collaboration that transformed his struggling dance troupe into a New York City, and national institution.
“She it was who took the New York City Ballet over the top,” wrote the veteran dance critic Francis Mason in the collection of reminiscences “I Remember Balanchine.” The occasion was the Nov. 27, 1949 premiere of Balanchine’s choreography of Igor Stravinsky’s “Firebird,” a triumph that is still a New York legend.
It was a long way to this international praise from Tallchief’s birth Jan. 24, 1925, in Fairfax, Okla., on the Osage territory The path was fueled, literally, by the discovery of oil on Osage land, which made her father’s generation wealthy. But Tallchief, called Betty Marie in her youth, has bittersweet memories of the time.
Her father, Alexander Joseph Tall Chief, was full-blood Osage and grandson of tribal leaders. Her mother Ruth, his second wife, was Scots-Irish from Kansas.
Although this terror came to an end shortly after her birth, when the FBI brought about the conviction of its perpetrators, her youth was also disrupted by her beloved father’s occasional alcoholic rampages. Her mother had already discovered she had perfect pitch and was sending her and her sister Marjorie to piano and ballet classes. In 1933, Ruth persuaded her husband to relocate the family to Los Angeles, seeking escape from wasted lives and better training for her daughters.
The daughters had good luck with their education, winding up in the Beverly Hills school system and the ballet classes of the famous Russian teacher Bronislava Najinska. Tallchie danced in a production opposite Cyd Charisse, later the famous movie star. At 18, she began to make a living with a small part in a Judy Garland movie. Then her ballet contacts began to pay off. She went to New York to audition for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, and her career was under way.
As a soloist in several of the ballet’s European productions, including Balanchine’s “Serenade,” Tallchief captivated the choreographer, already an unsung genius. They married in 1946, and Balanchine brought her to New York to join his Ballet Society, later to become the New York City Ballet.
Balanchine saw the marriage as a connection with his new country and reveled in his alliance with the first Americans. His biographer wrote that shortly after their marriage he took a train across country to join her in Los Angeles and was thrilled to pass a reservation while crossing Oklahoma. “Look, those are my new relatives!” he told a Russian companion and for the next few hours recounted Indian lore, speaking in Russian.
Balanchine was famous for marrying stars from his corps de ballet, and then leaving them for younger blood. His marriage with Maria ended in the mid-’50s, when she wanted to have children and Balanchine refused. She rejoined the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo for several years, receiving the highest salary then paid a dancer. In 1956 she married a Chicago businessman and became a mother shortly after.
After retiring from dancing in 1965, she returned to Chicago, where she became artistic director and teacher of the Chicago Lyric Opera ballet. In 1981, she founded the Chicago City Ballet.
National honors have celebrated her contribution to the success of American ballet, but the greatest tribute might well be the thousands of young dancers, Indian and non-Indian alike, who have looked to her as their inspiration. | 2019-04-26T16:23:04 | https://newsmaven.io/indiancountrytoday/archive/nutcracker-recalls-greatness-of-osage-ballerina-maria-tallchief-0SriDdEzGkyFa4tlr3fERw/ |
Venezuela is a perfect example of how a resource-rich country could end up with tons of financial troubles. Faced with a record-breaking inflation rate, Venezuelans are now increasingly looking into cryptocurrency as a payment option and as a more stable method of storing their wealth.
Faced with the rapid decline of their money’s purchasing power, Venezuelans have no choice but to come up with out-of-the-box solutions to offset the effects of their country’s sky-high inflation rate. One of these is to bet big in cryptocurrencies to help them to preserve the value of their wealth and, perhaps, even make some profit in the process.
The citizens of Venezuela are, currently facing a record-setting inflation rate that has greatly eroded the purchasing power of the Bolivar, which is the nation’s currency. The currency’s value diminished so much that it got to the point where shoppers have to bring trash bags full of money to pay for their purchases.
While other countries worry if their inflation approaches the double-digit territory, that’s nothing compared to what Venezuela is currently facing. According to data from the International Monetary Fund, Venezuela’s inflation rate is at a record high of 13,860 percent and way above the global rate of 3.5 percent. In layman’s terms, the items that Venezuelans bought for just 1 Bolivar a year ago is now going to cost them around 139 Bolivars.
Given this scenario, citizens are now looking at cryptocurrency as a possible way to preserve the value of their wealth. Recent data reveals a massive rise in Bitcoin purchases in the country suggesting that the world’s number one digital coin regarding market size is the crypto of choice for most Venezuelans despite BTC’s decline from its all-time high of around $20,000 last year.
The country’s situation gave rise to increased crypto mining activity in the country as more entrepreneurial Venezuelans try to take advantage of their relatively cheaper power rates. However, it appears that the government is not too happy with all the mining activities of its citizens.
In May, reports surfaced that it has imposed an import ban on crypto mining equipment such as processors, computers, power plants, cards, phones and other electronics.
Yet, it can’t be said that the Venezuelan government is anti cryptocurrency. In fact, it already launched its own oil-backed cryptocurrency called Petro and even declared the digital coins as a legal tender.
It remains to be seen if Petro will take off in the long run. Venezuelans seem satisfied to keep their assets on the tried and tested Bitcoin at the moment.
Venezuela’s inflation may have helped spread cryptocurrency’s acceptance in the country as it is now seen as a more stable payment system compared to the Venezuelan Bolivar. CriptoLugares, which is a mobile app that accepts cryptocurrencies as payment, is now increasingly becoming more popular and is accepted by over 180 businesses all over the country. | 2019-04-24T08:48:14 | https://blokt.com/news/venezuelas-fight-with-inflation-may-have-helped-cryptocurrency-acceptance |
I was born in Brazil. As an infant, I was moved from the city of my birth to a children’s home where I was adopted. The beginning of my life was abrupt and unknown and although I was only a few weeks old when I was adopted, I believe it has affected and influenced me in many ways.
Six years ago, my adoptive mother and I visited Brazil to meet friends and reunite with my birth family. We were so very fortunate to have these opportunities and treasure them forever. The reunion was the best day of my life. A few months ago, I decided to work on writing my adoption story. I would include all of the events that happened around the reunion. Then one night, as I browsed the Internet, a life-changing event occurred that altered my story and many of my feelings as an adoptee.
As I began writing a new section of my story, I had a strong and persistent feeling that I should Google my birth father’s name to see if I could find any new or updated information about him. As a public official, it is very likely that his name would appear in an Internet search. Shockingly, only a minute or two into searching for him, I found out that he had died almost a month prior. He was an old man, and I knew he couldn’t live forever, but the onslaught of emotions I felt was overwhelming. My initial feelings were those of vulnerability. This could really happen to ME. I was not safe from experiencing this kind of loss, even on another continent, far away from it all. I felt like a spotlight was shining down on me, asking, “How does this make you feel?” After that, my feelings turned to sadness, confusion, wishing I had known sooner, excitement over opportunities to find new information, and the desire to turn this event into a positive situation. I had no idea how to deal initially because I had never been through this experience and I had no clue how to even begin to approach it. I started with simply telling some people in my life. First, my mom, next, the people who helped me find my birth parents.
V.L Brunskill author Waving Backwards paints an all too familiar picture of the female protagonist's life. The Bible is important for the story as well as the protagonist since it is through the Bible that she discovers small details of her own identity. The familiar elements were the fact that Laura Bonavito was an adoptee, struggling with coming to terms with who she really is. Like many adoptees she had questions about who her birth parents were. I identify with that part having had those feelings and thoughts myself once.
American readers or those familiar with Savannah Georgia might be able to understand that the title has several meanings, one that is clue to where the novel is set. The intriguing title is a reference to the Waving Girl statue in Savannah, Georgia on the East River Street as a tribute to the legend of an actual waving girl ,Florence Martus 1868-1943. This immediately gets me to think of an American classic namely Gone with the wind by Margaret Mitchell. The heroine in Mitchell’s novel also goes through a similar challenge like Laura. I also start see link’s to L.M Montgomery’s fictional Anne of Green Gables. Anne Shirley and Miss Bonavito both desperately wants to find out who their birth parents were. That is fine but reality is some adoptees actually never want to find their birth parents for several different reasons.
It should be every adoptee’s birth right to know who their birthparents are (but only if they want to know it themselves), sadly that is very often not the case. The book was difficult for me to read since every adoptee must be prepared to make a choice between knowing the truth or getting the answer’s that they want. Not every adoptee is emotionally ready for the truth.
The author makes me wish that the protagonist gets to find out who her birth parents are. As the story continues I want Laura Bonavito to get the answers that she seeks. That seems to be the first lesson the author wants readers to know. As she continues with her journey Miss Bonavito grows as a person. You are stronger than you realize.
For potential readers that is able to finish the novel I think they will appreciate how authentic it may seem. Just like actual life it is a novel that mimics reality and not the other way around. Sometimes life is stranger than fiction. I think this novel will pull at the heart strings of adult adoptees and people that are affected by adoption. I want to recommend it but I think that some adoptees that read it may struggle with it since it basically presents likely worst-case scenarios some readers might not be willing to confront in their own life.
Once you know you and have the answers you very well might realize it isn't the answer that you wished for. So is it better to live in obliviousness or would you prefer to know the truth whatever it may be... By not searching adoptees are able to create their own picture of who their birth parents may be... Sometimes maybe that is better than actually knowing, because knowing the truth might be detrimental to your self-esteem and only further create more questions, questions that most likely never will be answered. | 2019-04-25T20:43:21 | http://www.thelostdaughters.com/2015/12/ |
Last week after I explained how credit applications work (at the Ideal Home Show) a woman commented "that's ridiculous, it means it's anti-shopping around". She's right. Usually the only way to see if you'll get credit and at what rate is to apply, which leaves a mark on your credit file. So if what you're offered isn't good enough and you want to try elsewhere, it's now more difficult.
I've given evidence in Parliament on this, but nowt's been done. So three years ago we built our eligibility calcs and this year we've taken a further leap forward, getting a few MBNA cards on 100% pre-approval and now adding Aqua, which specialises in cards for those without a great credit history (ie, past defaults or CCJs).
1. What the eligibility calcs do. Our Loan and Credit Card Eligibility Calcs do a soft search (you see it on your file, lenders don't, so no credit-score impact), which usually gives odds of 0% to 95% for getting top deals, so you can home in where your chances are best.
As Kelly told us: "Legend. Used the eligibility calc, got 35mths 0% and shifted £11,000 from 29.9%. Shocked by the savings." That's a saving of £4,900 if it's cleared within the 35mths.
2. What does 'pre-approval' mean? With the 3 MBNA and 4 Aqua cards that allow this we can tell many people (not all) they've a 100% chance of getting that exact deal - subject to passing an ID and fraud check. There's no impact on your credit score, though of course if you then apply, that marks your file.
If you are pre-approved, that doesn't automatically mean it's the best card for you. The eligibility calculators will also show other top cards, and some may have better deals, so you need to balance the certainty versus the deal.
3. Pre-approved 39mths 0% balance transfers. A balance transfer is where you get a new card that pays off debts on old cards, so you owe it instead, at a cheaper rate. Our Balance Transfer Eligibility Calc shows which top cards you've the best chance of getting.
Use it to see if you've a 100% chance of getting this MBNA card*, which lets new cardholders shift debts to it at up to 39mths 0%, for a 2.98% fee (so £29.80 per £1k of debt shifted). That's only a month shorter than the longest 0% deal - Halifax's* up-to-40mths 0%, with a lower 2.58% fee.
If you can repay quicker, you can see if you've 100% chance of this lower-fee MBNA card*, with 32mths 0% (1.14% fee) - though a slightly lower 0.72% fee is available on the up-to-32mths 0% Barclaycard*.
a) Clear the card or balance transfer again before the 0% ends, or the rate on these cards rockets to 18.9% rep APR (20.9% MBNA).
b) Never miss the min monthly repayment or you can lose the 0% deal.
4. Pre-approved 0.5% cashback card with cheap spending overseas. The easy-to-get Aqua Reward card gives 0.5% cashback on all spending, and no 'load' when you spend abroad, so you get the same near-perfect exchange rates banks get - smashing bureaux de change.
It makes the best buys for cashback and overseas spending, but has a nasty 34.9% rep APR, so repay IN FULL each month to avoid it. And beware ATM withdrawals as you pay interest on them, even if you clear in full, plus a 3% (min £3) fee. Thus it's far better to use it to spend on abroad, than to withdraw cash.
How does it stack up? It's the only open-to-all card that does both cashback and cheap overseas spending. Yet for each separately it can be beaten.
- Overseas spending: The Halifax Clarity* and Creation Everyday* also have no 'load', but crucially have far lower overseas ATM charges and just 18.9% and 12.9% rep APRs. For full odds & info use the Travel Card Eligibility Calc.
- Cashback cards: The highest-paying cashback card is the Amex Platinum Everyday*, which gives 5% (max £100) in the first 3mths then up to 1.25% (22.9% rep APR). For full odds & info see the Cashback Cards Eligibility Calc.
5. Pre-approved 36mths 0% money transfers - ie, it pays cash into your bank. Some balance transfer cards also offer money transfers, which means they let you pay money into your bank, so you owe them at 0% instead. This is useful for clearing expensive overdrafts or as a small loan. Our Money Transfers Eligibility Calc shows which top cards you've the best chance of getting.
With it, you can check if you've a 100% chance of this MBNA card*. It lets you pay in cash to your bank for up to 36mths 0% for a 2.99% fee. That's the joint-longest MSE top pick 0% money transfer card, though the fee is higher than Virgin Money's*, which is 2.39% (min £3).
a) Clear the card or balance transfer again before the 0% ends, or the rate on all these cards rockets to 22.9% and 20.9% rep APR.
c) Don't spend/withdraw cash. It usually isn't cheap.
d) If you're using it as a loan, try to make a fixed repayment, so you'll clear all the borrowing and the fee over the 36mth 0% period.
6. Pre-approved credit (re)build card with £20 Amazon voucher. Credit rebuild cards are designed for those with either no credit history or a poor one, to prove themselves good credit citizens to boost their credit score.
The Aqua Advance gives a £20 voucher after 2mths if you stick to your credit limit and repay on time. It has a horrid 34.9% rep APR, so ensure you pay the card IN FULL each month to avoid interest.
How does it stack up? There are other similar cards, but the voucher makes this the winner. To see your odds use the Credit Rebuild Eligibility Calc.
How to use it? Get one, do £50-£100/mth of normal spending for a year, never missing or being late on repayments, and it'll start to help.
7. Pre-approved poor-credit 4mths 0% on spending. The Aqua Purchase gives 4mths 0% on spending, but is 34.9% rep APR after - it's the only 0% spending card targeting those with a poor credit history.
How does it stack up? The Post Office* & Clydesdale* allow accepted new cardholders 27mths 0% & 26mths 0% spending, but they need a good credit score. So use the 0% Spending Eligibility Calc to see your odds.
Warning: Only use Aqua for respite from payday loans/bank charges. New borrowing when you've poor credit is a bad idea. I include it because used cleverly it can take the pressure off payday loans or bank charges. To see how, read Repay payday loans via Aqua.
a) Clear the card or balance transfer before the 0% ends, or the rate on all these cards rockets to 34.9%, 18.9% & 18.9% rep APR.
c) Don't balance transfer/withdraw cash. It usually isn't cheap.
8. 35 tips to boost your credit score. The eligibility calculators are effectively a real life credit check - if your chances are low here, it'll be similar with mortgages and other products.
Yet credit scoring's a bit like going on the pull - you can do things to make yourself more attractive, but even then not every lender will appreciate you. For what to try, see my 35 credit boosting tips.

Many schools, nurseries and public play-areas in Abbey Dore HR2 0 have thermoplastic play area markings applied to the play surface to create a fun and stimulating environment where children can play educational games and develop their social skills with others. These come in a range of graphics, designs and colours that fit your specific needs.
As an alternative to the traditional playground paint applications, thermoplastic markings are applied using plastic cut out shapes which are then heated and melt onto the existing macadam surface of the playarea. This method leaves a durable and brightly coloured graphic design which is long lasting and does not fade easily like normal surface paint. We often complete playground relining in Abbey Dore with coloured designs to replace existing markings which have faded or become unsuitable. Lots of schools have had painted playground designs relined in thermoplastic as it gives a more vibrant colour and is longer lasting.
The thermoplastic play surface applications are extremely durable and have an extensive product life so the children can enjoy an exciting and fun recreational facility for a long time. Playground markings removal in Abbey Dore is another service that we offer to get rid of any old markings which have lost their use or need replacing.

When Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf invented a prototype for the internet in the 1970s, it would have been hard for them to imagine the way that this global network would turn the world upside-down. In the early twenty-first century, people can now communicate across the world at the click of a button and a vast amount of published knowledge is available at the fingertips of internet users.
In the world of business, this global network has made it less and less necessary for employees and contractors to leave their front doors and head in to an office to work. After all, the internet allows you to access the same information at home that you would in the office and send it in for free via email or a cloud-storage service.
So how has this change affected millennials, and why are more and more of them choosing to work from home?
Children born from the early 1980s to the mid-1990s—known as “millennials”—grew up in the era of computers and mobile phones, and most became acquainted with the internet as children or teenagers. With this worldwide knowledge bank at their disposal, school projects and college assignments suddenly became easier and faster than ever before, and this expectation of convenience and speed was translated into the workplace.
As millennials have entered the workforce over the last twenty years, more and more of them have found ways to leverage the internet for commercial purposes and conduct business from home. In fact, now that we are well and truly into the 21st Century, estimates predict that over 50% of the U.S. workforce will consist of freelancers by 2027.
So, why are millennials choosing to work from home, and what are the advantages?
When you work in an office, you have set hours and are tied to the one company (along with the benefits of sick leave and health insurance, in some cases). By working at home, young professionals can work for as many companies as they like (or have as many businesses as they like) and can seek out novel ways to advance or grow their own income.
With no one looking over your shoulder and telling you how to do your job, the hours you work and the methods you use are up to you. What matters most to clients and employers is that you get the job done! While this way of working does require more self-motivation and discipline, it can also be extremely liberating.
With each generation that passes, we are becoming more and more mobile. Living in one house for your entire life is a thing of the past, with the average millennial planning to live in their current home for five years or less. Furthermore, travel has become much more accessible with lower airfares and higher disposable incomes.
With all of this geographical movement, maintaining a steady job in one place becomes difficult and opportunities for transfer are not always available. By working remotely on a laptop computer with a connection to the internet, employees and freelancers can do their jobs from anywhere in the world.
Another advantage of “working from anywhere” is that millennials can be close to their loved ones all day. This makes working from home an attractive proposition for parents, homeschoolers, and couples or friends who enjoy working side-by-side on their online projects. In times past, you could only choose your friends; now, you can also choose your coworkers!
Of course, if you run your work-from-home enterprise from a coffee shop, the cost of food might be even higher!
By working from home, time spent commuting in peak-hour traffic can instead be spent on achieving a better work-life balance: sleeping, exercising, and hanging out with family.
Just like any business, it can take time to build up a client portfolio and make a decent living from your work-at-home endeavor, but the flexibility and freedom that working at home can provide makes it well worth the effort.

There is a definite irony to this, considering that the Florida Gators have produced a lot of good receivers.
also used to describe someone who is cheap. their arms are too short to reach their wallet.
This definition is misleading. The term “alligator arms” refers to a receiver who is afraid of taking a hit while trying to catch a pass. Because of this fear, the receiver does not extend his arms as far as he could or should. He keeps his arms closer to his body to protect himself. The term has nothing to with the physical length of a player’s arms, so the second part of the definition is way off base. | 2019-04-26T09:39:35 | https://www.waywordradio.org/alligator_arms/ |

Last March we called out the IBM Think Conference for not having enough women on their speaker list, and we’re really disappointed to report that IBM Think Conference 2019 is looking even worse. This year’s speaker list features only 29% women, 1 of whom is Ginni Rometty, the Chairman, President, and CEO of IBM. It’s extremely frustrating that even a woman-led, prominent technology company won’t make the effort to ensure that women are provided equal space to let their expert voices be heard. It’s just lazy. | 2019-04-24T08:15:54 | https://www.genderavenger.com/blog/action-alert-ibm-needs-more-women |
Aquila chrysaetos has recently found itself in a battle to find habitat due to human development encroaching on their territories. A major project for people in our time is finding alternative sources for energy, which can often lead to the building of wind turbine farms. A single wind turbine have the potential to produce electricity for up to 332 homes at little to no direct pollution emissions, so it is clear why this seems so appealing (World of Wind Energy, 2007). Unfortunately, this new form of clean energy is not so great for the animals that inhabit the sky. Many times the designers of these wind farms have failed to look at how the 400 feet tall rotating blades will affect the wildlife. Aquila chrysaetos has been known to be one of the birds hit the hardest by the rise in popularity of the farms. Not much thought was put into deciding the location of the wind farms during the big boom a few years back and they were frequently put in the migratory paths of birds. More recently animals like bats and birds have been a factor in deciding t he location of the newer farms and have even single-handedly halted these projects. An example of this would be the Cape Wind project, this was a case in which a federal owned off-shore wind farm was to be built, but it was stopped because it would be in the migratory path of both a common bat species and Aquila chrysaetos (Goel, 2010). The Golden Eagle isn’t always finding itself in tricky situations; often they do more to help people.
For years, Mongolians have been using A. chrysaetos to hunt for them, taking down prey as large as fox and wolves for their pelts. “The Golden Eagle Festival” takes place every October near Olgii city in Mongolia. This event attracts forty to fifty falconers and over three hundred tourists from all over the world (Soma, 2013). The fest ival consists of Kazakh eagle hunters celebrating their heritage and history by competing to catch animals with their trained Golden Eagles, demonstrating the exquisite skills of both trainer and eagle. The falconers are such a large part of the culture in Mongolia that they are often used on emblems and even on the locally made “Bayan Olgii Mongolian Vodka” bottle label (Soma, 2013).

It is definitely a known fact that getting ready for a move, home or commercial can be a daunting task which can result in stress and anxiety. Just like any other successfully completed project, proper planning and organization are keys to a successful Commercial move. For every mover taking it one step at a time is the best way to go about it. Hence once the decision to relocate is made, the first step is to have an Office Relocation Plan drawn up. This is one of the most important steps taken in an office move.
An office relocation plan is a tool that outlines the tasks necessary to complete a successful move. It should also specify who is responsible for each task, the requirements for the task and when the tasks must be completed.
By creating a guide for the moving process, you ensure necessary tasks are completed in the required timeframe and within budget thereby minimizing downtime and loss of productivity.
You need not worry about the stress and anxiety because We’ve outlined some easy steps and helpful tips to ensure a painless and stress-free office move. Always have it in mind that pre-planning is everything because if you fail to plan you have planned to fail.
Determine who will be the primary person in charge of the move, which could be either you or someone else within your company. This person will serve as the in-office move coordinator. He or she should be a great organizer, have the authority to represent your company, and be capable of making quick decisions when necessary.
Select a small project planning team. The in-office move coordinator will serve as leader of this team, and together the team will create your office relocation plan.
Know or determine your key dates, such as current lease termination, preferred move date, new lease signing, new office build-out start and finish, and final date for completion of the move. This is to enable you have a target for the move.
Estimate your relocation budget. Review it periodically throughout the move process to ensure the move stays within the budget.
Develop a project plan customized for your office relocation. You can use tips on what to include, such as those provided below, but the best project plan is one created specifically for your office move. Build the plan in a Word document or Excel Spreadsheet. List every service that must be provided to complete the move, who will be responsible for each one, and when the task should be completed.

What I experienced was a colourful country with incredibly friendly and giving people - a far cry from the dark past the country is more renowned for.
On Friday, delegates from across the globe gathered at Kinigi (Chinihi) for the official naming ceremony for 22 new baby gorillas.
The babies come from 12 families in the north west of the country.
Each year people from all around the world come to welcome the new additions to the growing population.
The babies were named by representatives from various NGOs and businesses.
They were given names like Ntamupaka (Namopaka) meaning no borders and Ishimwe (gratitude) in keeping with the tradition of unity.
The country has been praised for its conservation initiatives which resulted in the gorilla population - which is an integral part of the economy - doubling over the last few years.
Francis Ndagijimane, a guide at the Volcanoes National Park where the gorillas are located, explains why he believes education is the key to conservation.
The guides took us on a 3 -hour hike in search of the gorillas, and we found them after trekking up and then into a volcano.
We were meters away from these enormously powerful, yet graceful creatures. It was incredible to watch them engage and play with each other and it was clear to see why guides here describe them as a beautiful family.
Guide Leonathi Gwambibi explains why he has the best job in the world. | 2019-04-20T02:31:24 | https://www.jacarandafm.com/news/odd-unusual/gorillas-rwanda-special-report-maryke-vermaak/ |

The New York Times is apparently not content to show Obama with a halo anymore. Now, just in time for Easter, they are showing him with a cross. In fact, according to one view, the small image of the White House is designed to give the impression that Obama is bigger than the mere office he holds. Take a look.
Now don't go losing your minds, I'm not equating Obama with Hitler. What I am pointing out is that imagery of this sort (doves descending, "the light", the cross) has been a weapon of propaganda used by Socialists for nearly one hundred years.
Obama is not Hitler, or Lenin or Stalin, but he is certainly the subject of similar images being spread among the people, and we need to be reminded how this tactic has been misused in the past.
Marcus, the Obama image is even more shocking with its full context. Check out this image from hotair. | 2019-04-23T17:03:01 | https://www.bluegrassbulletin.com/2010/03/just-in-time-for-easter-new-jesus-imagery-of-obama-by-new-york-times-learn-from-history.html |

Our 4-Star Mega Hub Dome Connector is used as a base connector for all Sonostar Mega Domes, where the base is at ground level. 'Mega' refers to the size of the hubs and differentiates them from 'standard' hubs, which fit 1/2" PVC. These are the same connectors that come in Sonostar Mega Dome and Mega Sphere kits. Typically, they are used at the base of a dome, but they can also be used in a doorway, where you remove struts for an opening and you want it to be flush, without the 6-way arms sticking out. Designed to fit either 1" or 1.5" Schedule 40 PVC.
Sonostar 4-Star Dome Connector Hubs are designed to be used with either 1" or 1 1/2" Schedule 40 PVC tubing. Since PVC pipe is measured by the inside diameter of the pipe, it should be noted that the outside diameter of the MegaHubs corresponds to the inside diameter of a 1 1/2" PVC pipe. The inside diameter of the Mega Hub geodesic dome connector corresponds to the outside diameter of a 1" piece of PVC pipe. The hubs are dual purpose. Either a 1" pipe will fit snugly inside the hub arms, or a 1 1/2" pipe will fit snugly over the outside of the hub arms.
Each arm has exactly one inch of sleeve room for the inserted pipe. You have the option of either gluing the pipes into the hub connectors or securing them with nuts and bolts. | 2019-04-20T14:28:40 | https://www.sonostarhub.com/collections/geodesic-dome-connectors-geohubs/products/4-star-mega-hub-dome-connector |

one trail at a time. two riders. four wheels. high fives.
The second stop of the Epic Rides series will take place in Grand Junction, Colorado this weekend and the race, bike expo, and music festival draw quite the crowd to our small town on the Western Slope. As a Fruita local, I’m thrilled to be participating in this weekend’s events, both as a racer and spectator. It’s exciting to partake in the sufferfest, hear race stories from the many locals lining up for the event, and to share our desert trails, restaurants, and Western Slope good vibes with those traveling from out of town.
I absolutely love my corner of Colorado, and my hope is that all racers traveling to compete in the Grand Junction Off Road enjoy their time here as well! With that in mind, I’d like to offer a bit of information not included on the Epic Rides website that will hopefully enable you to maximize your time and enjoyment this weekend.
THE RIDE: The Pivot Cycles Mach 429SL is the ideal machine for handling the technical and chunky terrain that we’ll race on this weekend. I’ll be running this capable, light bike with SRAM Eagle 1x12 drivetrain, Enve M525 wheels, Maxxis Ikon 2.35 tires, Ergon grips and saddle, and MRP Loop TR 130 fork (made locally and named after the Lunch Loops!). I’ll be riding the 429SL for the third year in a row in Sunday’s 40 Grand pro race, and my husband Noah is running a similar setup for Saturday’s 30 Grand race.
If you have multiple bikes in your quiver and are still deciding what bike to run this weekend, my advice would be to go for a full suspension. Make sure that it’s built with tires sturdy enough to handle the rocky, dry, and loose trails at the Lunch Loops (Maxxis tires with their EXO sidewall reinforcements are my pick).
THE PRE-RIDE: Even if you’ve raced the Grand Junction Off-Road before, you’ll get to experience riding on some new trails in this year’s edition! The full 30 and 40 Grand courses are available on TrailForks, and if you don’t have the app, I highly recommend downloading it prior to your pre-ride. Once you’ve downloaded a region, you’ll have access to maps, race routes, and trail stats even when your phone is out of service.
One hour: If you’re like most racers and are arriving from out of town for the event, a quick hour may be all that you have for race recon. If your time is limited but you’d still like to get a feel for the terrain, I’d recommend riding Butterknife. This trail can be accessed by driving to the Third Flats Trailhead off of Little Park Road, and includes six miles of singletrack before popping you onto Third Flats Road. Take a right here, and climb for approximately four miles back to your vehicle. The whole loop may take a bit longer than an hour if you’re not going race pace, but riding it will give you a great taste for the physical, fun, and technical style of riding in Grand Junction.
Three hours: If you have a full three hours to ride, parking at the Tabeguache / Lunch Loops Trailhead lot and riding the 30 Grand (minus the to-and-from pavement connections to downtown) is a wonderful option to experience all of the singletrack portions of the race. For those racing the 40, the majority of those extra miles take place on doubletrack on a fairly remote road that you’ll hit after exiting Butterknife. If you have limited time and energy, I’d suggest skipping the Windmill Road section of the course and focusing on tackling the 30 Grand terrain.
Any of these pre-ride options should enable you to get a feel for the style of riding here in Grand Junction. If you’re really limited on time, simple drive to the Tabeguache / Lunch Loops Trailhead off of Monument Road, and cruise around the beginning and end of the dirt portion of the race to get comfortable on the terrain. It will be hot this weekend, so bring plenty of water and wear your sunscreen as the trails are very exposed!
THE RE-FUEL: Whether you’re racing the 30 or 40, and pre-riding for an hour or ten, you'll probably be in need of a hearty and healthy meal following your ride! Keep in mind that Grand Junction does have a Sprouts and Vitamin Cottage if you need to stock up on groceries. If you’re looking for healthy options downtown, the following are some of my favorite restaurants. *Note, I do follow a plant-based diet, and all of these restaurants can accommodate those with dietary restrictions.
Cafe Sol - Healthy and generous soups, salads, and sandwiches. I’d happily eat here every day!
Kiln Coffee and Copeka Coffee - Because caffeine is necessary.
TacoParty - A simple menu but amazing flavor. Don’t skip the guac! 3 tacos for $8 this weekend (usually $12)!
Main Street Bagels - Homemade bagels, pastries, and sandwiches on Main Street. They also have coffee and smoothies.
Bin 707 - If you're in a celebratory mood following your race, Bin 707 is the place to go!They have a truly wonderful menu and offer a more upscale vibe.
Pablo’s Pizza - Great pizza, with gluten free crust available, and tasty salad options for those who don’t do dairy.
Nepal - Because Indian food is always a great idea, even before a big race!
If you’re willing to drive, Namaste Nepal in Orchard Mesa and Hot Tomato in Fruita are two of my other favorite restaurants in the area.
Head to www.VistiGrandJunction.com for more tips on the area’s activities.
FOR YOUR BIKE: In the event your bike needs a little love prior to the BIG event, there are plenty of bike shops in the area. Bicycle Outfitters, Gear Junction, Brown Cycles, Grassroots Cycles, and Ruby Canyon Cycles are close to the venue and should get you rolling in no time. Fruita’s Colorado Backcountry Biker and Over the Edge are other great options with friendly service and a wide selection of gear.
Have a wonderful weekend, keep the rubber side down, race hard, recover harder, and enjoy your time on the Western Slope! Ride on.
The Whiskey 50 was tough. But so am I.
This year’s Windy Whiskey 50 is done and dusted. After an incredibly hard four hours of racing yesterday, Noah and I hit the road for the nine-hour drive home. By the time we pulled into our driveway just before midnight, I was an emotional mess. Still dirty, physically exhausted, scratched and bruised, I’d boarded the post-race carnival ride rocketing wildly between feelings of empowerment to utter failure.
I know that all racers, pros and amateurs alike, have experienced that strange mix of emotions I went through yesterday - that feeling of pride in your accomplishment mingled with a tang of despondency that your overall result doesn’t accurately reflect the work, the grit, the passion, the perseverance, the sweat and the blood that went into pulling it off.
After a very strong start to my season, the Whiskey was tough. I had a hard crash, I made some mistakes, I rode by myself in windy conditions for the bulk of the day, and the course didn’t suit my skills. But after a good night’s sleep, I've filtered through my emotions and find myself really pleased with how my legs and determination held up yesterday. While there are always (always!) places to improve, I’m still stoked about the outcome and know that my performance on that tough course was a really strong one.
I finished solidly mid-pack in probably the most competitive pro women’s fields I’ve ever raced in. On paper, 18 out of 40 looks subpar to me, especially considering I placed 11th at the Whiskey last year, but my pace was faster this year on a course that suited my riding style far less. On the drive home, I struggled to reconcile a strong performance with a result that sounds less than stellar. I know that I am continuing to get faster and fitter. My early season races are an indication of that, and my strength and skills on the bike are still on an upward trajectory. The Whiskey 50 was a challenge, and while it may have pushed me outside of my comfort zone, it definitely is the encouragement I need to continue doing the hard work necessary for growth.
My hope for this weekend was to race to the best of my ability, and I did that. I stayed focused through the road portions of the course, I climbed strong, I gritted it out and finished that hard race even after crashing. It was a challenge, but I’m incredibly proud of my performance and I can’t wait to see how this race impacts my drive and growth in the next few months.
Between live music, a huge bike expo, and three days of racing, all of the events orchestrated by Epic Rides have a great vibe, and I was excited to spend some time in Arizona with Noah. We pulled into the wonderful town of Prescott last Friday just in time to check into our hotel and head out for the Fat Tire Crit - a lung burning 20 minutes of racing through the historic downtown “Whiskey Row.” I kept the knobby tires on my bike for the crit, started in dead last (oops!), and spent each subsequent lap passing ladies and grinning for the crowds of spectators. Following the crit, we hit the trails for a beautiful sunset pre-ride. It was Noah’s first time to the area, and as he was racing the 30-mile course on Saturday, we wanted to get a feel for the terrain and make sure our bikes were operating smoothly.
I spent Saturday cheering for the 30 and 50 mile racers. I was so happy to be riding between points on the course, looking for Noah, catching up with friends, and exploring the expo that I probably overdid it a little - my legs were fairly tired - but seeing Noah have a strong 30-mile race and cheering for all those on course was my favorite part of the weekend. He ended up taking 17th out of over 1,000 racers doing the 30-mile course! After watching him take on the race, I was eager to get on the start line the next day, knowing that my goals were to race to the best of my ability and disregard the rest.
Sunday was my race. The pro women took off at 8:40 and the neutral rollout lasted until the road turned to gravel. I lost the lead group fairly early but felt great climbing until the course turned to singletrack. Uncharacteristically, I struggled a bit on this portion of the course - I was riding my hardtail, and had trouble staying focused on the terrain with the amount of back and forth passing taking place at that point in the race. By the time the group of ladies had thinned out, we were back on the road and I focused on climbing strong to the top of the Skull Valley out and back. I spent both the 10-mile road descent and subsequent climb out all by myself, buffeted by winds but focused on turning my pedals. By the time I passed Noah on the way back out, I’d caught a few racers, and after downing a gel and getting a fresh water and smile from him, finished the remainder of the road climb feeling strong.
I was feeling great when I hit the final singletrack portion of the course. But after a few minutes of fun descending, I crested a small uphill only to be taken out by an enormous gust of wind. I lost control of my light bike on the loose course and went down hard. Between catching my breath, readjusting my brake levers, and attempting to pick up the yard sale of gels and water bottles I’d left scattered in the dust, I’d lost quite a bit of time. Worse, my confidence was rattled, and I spent the remainder of the race gritting my teeth through the soreness in my body and descending with far less gumption than I normally ride. Two of the ladies I’d passed earlier caught me at this point, and by the time I hit the road to the finish line, I knew they had put too much time into me for a sprint finish.
I crossed the finish line in four hours, sweaty, exhausted, with blood all over my legs and a few tears in my eyes. It was tough, but I raced to the best of my ability and know that I have a lot to learn from yesterday’s performance. Here’s to training hard for the next one! As always, thank you for the support from my husband Noah, to the crew at Epic Rides for putting on a stellar event, to Noah and my friend Dirty Biker for the photos, and to the folks at Pivot, Ergon, Enve, and MRP, who ensured I was on the best bike for the event. The beautiful and light Pivot Les performed like a dream! | 2019-04-22T16:58:03 | http://www.firsthandmtb.com/ |

In a fun weeklong experiment, my friend Marty and I collaborated on this video for an original song I wrote specifically for the iPhone 4 shoot. The overall goal was to produce a music video you can get down with - first and foremost - regardless of what camera we were shooting with. I think the end result turned out fantasmic!

Celebrating their 10th year as one of independent music’s most substantive bands, Louisville’s Coliseum return with their fourth full-length, the stunning Sister Faith. Expanding on the anthemic direction the trio veered toward on 2010’s House With a Curse, the album’s 13 songs are the most dynamic and immediately captivating of the band’s career, bristling with galvanizing melodies at the collision point between punk and noise-rock.
The first album to be recorded in producer J. Robbins’ recently relocated Magpie Cage Studios, Sister Faith is also the first Coliseum recording to feature new bassist, Kayhan Vaziri, in addition to contributions from some of the groups’ closest friends and musical peers: Wata of Boris, J. Robbins (Jawbox, Burning Airlines), Jason Loewenstein (Sebadoh, The Fiery Furnaces), Jason Farrell (Swiz, Bluetip), and more. | 2019-04-24T18:54:53 | https://roboticempire.com/collections/this-months-specials/products/coliseum-sister-faith-12-vinyl-holy-roar |
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — Thousands took to the streets of Athens as Greek unions launched a two-day general strike against planned austerity measures on Friday, a day after the country's crucial international bailout was put in limbo by its partners in the 17-nation eurozone.
Police said some 17,000 people were gathering for two separate protests leading to Syntagma Square, outside Parliament. They chanted slogans against the painful cutbacks, which include reducing the minimum wage by 22 percent and cutting one in five government jobs in a country which is in its fifth year of recession.
Bailout creditors say Greece has not yet met demands for all the austerity measures, however. Frustrated by days of dithering, they have given political leaders in Athens until the middle of next week to meet the full list of required reforms. Otherwise, the country will lose its rescue loan lifeline, go bankrupt next month and likely leave the euro.
"We are experiencing tragic moments," Deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos told Parliament Friday. "These days are the last acts of a drama that we all hope will lead to a happy conclusion with a voluntary reduction in our public debt and implementation of a framework by 2015 that will allow the economy to stabilize."
The Greek coalition government, led by Prime Minister Lucas Papademos had hoped some of the heat had been taken out of the crisis after leaders agreed Thursday to a raft of austerity measures they hoped would pave the way for the euro130 billion ($173 billion) bailout package.
However, finance ministers from the other 16 eurozone states put up a roadblock later in the day by insisting that Greece had to save an extra euro325 million ($430 million), pass the cuts through a restive parliament and guarantee in writing that they will be implemented even after planned elections in April.
A Cabinet meeting has been called for the afternoon, while the majority Socialists and the conservatives were later to hold party meetings to discuss the cutbacks.
The new hurdles Greece has to clear to avoid a default that could send shockwaves around the global economy dented sentiment in the markets Friday. Stocks were down all over Europe, with the benchmark index in Athens 1.8 percent lower in early afternoon trading.
While facing intense pressure abroad, Greece is having to deal with another strike. The country's two biggest labor unions stopped railway, ferry and public transport schedules, and hospitals worked on skeleton staff while most public services were disrupted. Unions were planning protests in Athens and other cities around midday.
Prime Minister Papademos and heads of the three parties backing his government have already agreed to deep private sector wage cuts, civil service layoffs, and significant reductions in health, social security and military spending.
But the party leaders balked at demands for more cuts to already depleted pensions, later issuing nebulous assurances that a solution had been found.
"Unfortunately, the eurogroup did not take a final, positive decision," Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos said after Thursday's talks in Brussels. "Many countries expressed objections, based on the fact that we did not fully complete the list of additional measures required to meet our targets for 2012."
"The choice we face is one of sacrifice or even greater sacrifice — on a scale that cannot be compared," Venizelos added.
EU Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso on Friday offered hope a deal could still be struck.
"I am confident that a solution will be reached next week as this is critically important for Greece and the Greek citizens first and foremost but also for the whole euro area," he said during a visit to India. "I therefore call on the responsibility and the leadership of the Greek leaders and all members of the eurozone so that we can obtain this goal that is important for the euro area and indeed for the global economy."
France's central bank chief Christian Noyer also urged Greece to accept the "reasonable and indispensable" austerity plan.
"It's really important that this situation comes to an end and gets wrapped up. Greece needs to do what other countries are doing, countries that have been in difficulty but are completely in line with the recovery plans," Noyer said on Europe-1 radio Friday. "Greece has to accept all of this."
But on the streets of Greece, the mood is grim, after two years of severe income losses, repeated tax hikes and retirement age increases that failed to signally improve the country's finances. Unemployment is at a record high of 21 percent — with more than a million people out of work — while the economy is in its fifth year of recession and is expected to contract up to 5 percent in 2012.
The country's politicians have taken a lot of criticism for the situation, and polls show the majority Socialists, elected in a 2009 landslide are now languishing at around 8 percent.
A Greek Socialist lawmaker resigned his seat Friday to protest the new austerity, a day after the country's deputy labour ministry stepped down from his position for the same reason. But the resignation of Pavlos Stasinos will not affect the party balance in Parliament, as he will be replaced by another Socialist deputy.
"It is unacceptable that right now our politicians' petty political and public relations maneuvering should be leading the country to bankruptcy," respected Kathimerini daily said in an editorial. "The country is tumbling towards a cliff-edge, and a tough European establishment is putting out the view that Greece cannot be saved and lacks credible politicians. Our politicians back that view with their carryings-on."
Ta Nea daily accused Greek politicians of "theatrics and shilly-shallying," and urged lawmakers to back the new measures in the Parliamentary vote, tentatively planned for Sunday.
"Nobody can happily back the painful agreement with the troika," it said in an editorial. "But neither can anyone shoulder the burden of the consequences, if the agreement is not completed."

The grass continues to be grazed well. The interns made their own decision to widen the paddocks. They didn’t consult me, the grand poobah, they just did it on their own. I couldn’t be prouder. Yesterdays paddock is on the left, todays on the right. The clover isn’t quite all eaten in yesterday’s paddock indicating the cows didn’t come back for seconds and thirds. That’s a good thing.
Moving the mineral feeder uphill this morning was a chore. It rolls nicely, better than I had hoped originally but boy is it heavy. We added two bags of phosphorous yesterday. One as a refill, and one in the empty salt slot. We did this because salt is already in their salt block on the waterer and it means they now have twice as much phosphorous. The didn’t touch the phosphorous in the new position but have already dove into the refill. Trace mineral C and silica are both getting low now and are ready for a refill. I tested the cows PH when we were without Phosphorous for a couple of weeks. It had rocketed back to 9.0. Phosphorous definitely makes a difference. | 2019-04-21T04:53:01 | https://ninjacowfarm.com/grazing-update-4/ |

It’s clear that his talent comes from a place of truth. Lost in conversation, Tom and Cecilie speak about the impact of music and the importance of being in a place of clarity whilst creating - zoning out from oneself is ironically the easiest way to unravel true emotion. During his compelling interview, it becomes clear why Tom's performance on stage fully exposes his vulnerability. Tom’s music isn’t just catchy, it’s personal. With songs that touch on personal experience; from wide-eyed grins to first loves and their inevitable heartbreaks, his charisma comes from his aura of openness and ability to stay true to who he is. As a musician he has an ability to draw the blinds on time itself and engulf you in his private world. We all need that small daily escape; even if it’s just for the duration of a song.
To see the 8-page print feature, photographed by Cecilie Harris and styled by David Nolan, and read the full interview, Issue 11, ‘Imagined Songs', is available to buy online and in stores here.
Who is Tom? Behind the public mask.
Gosh, I don't know, I feel that anything I say will seem self-indulgent haha. So much reflection going on here. I guess everyone will have a different view; from my girlfriend to my best friend to my mother and my father, my cat, you and maybe someone that listened to a song yesterday that I wrote. I don't see me, and I think that's important isn't it? Not to see yourself. The happiest times of my life are when I'm totally unaware of myself, when I'm no longer and I just experience. Perhaps the most joyful moments are the ones when you are no longer 'I', and you're part of something. Like when you lose yourself and become with the world whilst meditating, or when you're with your girlfriend hugging late at night, you're no longer simply one person. You intertwine with that person and feel together. The same applies to music, which allows you to become totally un self-aware and together with the music - you float. The moments that I most search for, and I think most of us search for, are those moments when you're no longer 'I'. When I'm performing, whether it's a big band, a small band or just me; I become one with the piano and almost with the audience. It's a total shared experience and that's what is so magical about it.
It is so lovely to sit here and chat to you after you left me with such an amazing experience at your Islington gig.
Thank you! This is great tea by the way, it's fantastic. It was very important to me that we did shows before the new album came out. I wanted people to hear the songs live first, and allow some of my closest fans to really experience my new music in an intimate environment. They have been so supportive over the past years and I wanted to make sure everything was perfect. The new album is very cinematic, dramatic and much richer musically, so we used silhouetted lighting to really create an experience where the audience feels the tension. You have to take the audience on a journey to constantly keep their attention. It's gotta almost feel like everything might collapse at any moment; the piano might fall over, the lights might fall down or I might completely lose it. Then those ballad moments need to feel so emotional and deeply sad, you all might burst into tears at any moment. In order to get that performance, you know, that drama needs to be there and you need to feel like it's the last gig you're ever gonna play. Every note is sung with utter conviction and every hit of the snare drum is like the last, you know?
You are such a passion performer. I’m not sure if you own the piano or the piano owns you?
You shut your eyes and you’re transported somewhere - somewhere else. With the piano it’s almost a fight, like trying to tame a wild beast or something. You push it to its limits and then you transform into this creature; the piano and you. Words cannot express how much joy I get from being able to play. Actually, I’ll probably sit down for half an hour this evening before I do the show later. To feel the music come up through your knees from underneath the piano - it’s so wonderful.
I felt like you created your own little universe whilst on stage.
When I was performing the first album it was very introverted, and the performance was much more centred around those intimate moments that were in the show you saw - the piano moments. On ‘Wrong Crowd’ it’s much more about the exploration of different feelings and expressions you can make with music and performance. There are a few songs on the album like ‘Concrete’, which is in a way a sensual song, where it was interesting to push even further and play with the sort of sexuality of it as well when performing it.

Hello there, I do think your site could possibly be having web browser compatibility problems.

THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGINS! You are creating a new life and either starting a new family or adding to it.
This time is not only about your growing bump, but also about the intimate relationship you have with your partner and your children.
I don’t have many photos of my mum with her big belly. But do I have one when she was decorating the Christmas tree with the help of my older brother. You get the sense that they weren't simply waiting for Father Christmas come, but for something bigger and better to arrive and just I love it!
So why not make some memories for your children to enjoy and start your own story today!
I would suggest to book your maternity session around your 20th week. You will have your scan at that time and find out important information about your baby. You will have the time to know your photographer. I always meet up with my clients and I know they will be more comfortable during the shoot.
The best time to photograph your bump is anywhere between the 34th and 37th week. Your belly should be showing beautifully and hopefully you shouldn’t be too tired yet. You can wait longer if you wish but babies are unpredictable and you might feel exhausted at the end of the session. Your husband or partner, children, and pets are all very welcome and highly recommended to join you in the session. They will help to make it much more memorable and personal. I always encourage my clients to go outdoors to a park or a special location. This helps to make the shoot very unique to you.
For clothing, the key is to keep it simple. Choose natural tones and solid colours for dresses and tops. Try to avoid bright colours, heavy patterns or prints. At the studio you can find gowns, scarves and fabrics that can create a more artistic look.
For dads joining the session, I recommend denim jeans with a simple collared shirt or a plain t-shirt, which is always a winner. For an intimate session, a bare-chested look works well, especially if it is followed up with a precious newborn baby and daddy portrait.
I have created a special Bump and Baby Package that allows you to capture the ‘before and after’. This is the best option if you are planning to have both a maternity and a newborn session. | 2019-04-22T00:00:08 | https://www.photograface.com/portfolio/london-maternity-photographer/ |

This year they will have been encouraged with a market characterized by excess capital, overcapacity and easing prices for loss-free business. This scenario is evidenced by the Guy Carpenter Global Property Catastrophe Reinsurance Rate on Line index, which fell at renewal, albeit marginally.
Extension of Guy Carpenter’s Asia Flood Model to China: Floods are among the most destructive hazards and as more people move to urban areas, flooding is having a growing impact on larger populations and economic losses.

Risk Profile, Appetite and Tolerance: Fundamental Concepts in Risk Management and Reinsurance Effectiveness: Prior to the recent turbulence in the financial markets, insurers and reinsurers were increasing their use of enterprise risk management to make risk and capital management decisions. While this was driven in part by rating agencies and regulators, many carriers began to recognize the value of metric-based frameworks and capital models in evaluating their portfolios.

Intentionally posting new spooky and gloomy cemeteries images to refer to Halloween! So now, the attack and the magic spells are working fine I’m trying to make it as fluent as possible, but synchronizing animation seems to be the hardest part. For now, the animation handling is a completely separated module which communicates with main hero script. Same goes for camera direction. My idea is to create an input lock, when an attack sequence is performed and at the end unlock input, but now it feels that the input is suspended a bit more than it should be. Do you have any better idea on how the fluent combat could be designed?
The story evolves in parallel. Estel will encounter deadly ghouls and undead warriors resurgent by a mighty necromancer that rules in Southern Empire - Nawia. The necromancer will try to conquer northern places, where many of Estel’s friends live. Of course, he also desires the Philosopher’s Stone and thus, he has kidnapped Estel’s patron, who probably knows how to decrypt the Emerald Tablet. So Estel will reach many different places throughout his journey to find him.
Amazing looking graphics! Looking forward to playing this!
I like the story especially, finely knit, and with a bit of wordplay, this can be kinda lord of the rings type fantasy.
Do you have any better idea on how the fluent combat could be designed?
Daluck be with your game.
For now the combat scheme looks like this: input triggers function in main hero script to set the lock flag and send message to animation script to play sequence. After a specific time the collision object is created in front of the hero that triggers a monster in a range to take damage. Then, the monster sends a message to main hero script and “ask for” a damage. Damage is calculated and sent to the sender - damaged monster. When the animation sequence is done (unfortunately I have to set a proper timer for that in animation script instead of having some callback when the finishing frame is displayed) the lock flag is reset to false, so the input is again registered. Because of that I can feel a small delay between attack sequences. I want to create a system when a player is tapping attack button and the hero animates a sequence instead of starting the same animation every time the user clicks or having those delays between. What could be useful I think is the information what frame of animation is displayed currently.
What could be useful I think is the information what frame of animation is displayed currently.
It’s in our backlog to expose an animation cursor for flipbook animations. With the cursor exposed it will be possible to start an animation from any frame, read the current frame, animate the cursor using go.animate() and so on. It’s not going to get implemented soon though. Most likely end of Q1 if I’m allowed to guess.
Choose first frame of play_animation?
Here’s the surprise for you - A fluent,efficient system to manage combats constantly, and without dealing with input lock and things. A bit wacky still, as I didn’t have much time today, but would give you an idea of how combat can be done. Moreover, I will develop on it and take the concept further after some days, but this should be ok till then.
Wow! It’s great! Thank you very much This is nicely done and animations aren’t interrupted, I will add idle animation at the end and it will be awesome!
I was working on dialogs and meanwhile, I released Defork So hope, it will help you too! I added FSM to handle dialogs input using dynamic gui table with different amount of options to choose. I also decided to use short option text, that is extended when Estel is saying it actually - I hope it is more natural and easy to control conversation without reading a vast amount of text only to choose the best hero’s answer.
Many choices will be relevant and I’m working on a system to manage and save decisions data, that will store relation between each NPC and Estel, NPC’s dialog nodes and decisions. Creating such nonlinear story is very time and brain consuming If you have some suggestions or advices, feel free to share! My brother is helping me with a scenario and he has a lot of ideas, as he’s a writer We are collaborating on writing missions and I’m taking care about logic connections too.
I am glad about the progress and this dev diary and forum helps me with a motivation a lot I hope this year would bring us all great ideas, implemented in Defold and shown to the world!
Happy Defolding in New Year!
So, in the last month I completely refactored the Focus board - a linker type board to collect elements used to craft magic spells. I spent a lot of time on new scripts and graphics and I hope the effect is visible at the glimpse - what do you think?
Next big thing, I’m working on is magic. Yeah, I’m preparing a cool witchcrafting system where elements can be conjured using different carriers and with different modifications. Everything to engage in the process of creating a spell. Defold particle fxs are used here and effects are exciting for me, though it is an initial version only - what is your impression?
So, a gameplay is now like this: hero enters Focus mode which pauses the game and the Focus board appears. You can take your time to accumulate as much energy as it is possible on a linker board in limited turns, taking into consideration conditions like weather, environment and mob’s weaknesses. Then you can select one or two basic elements that will fuse into another element. Then you are able to cast a specified element’s spells by pushing it forward (like flamethrower for example), swirling it in a powerful tornado/flamenado/waternado and so on or many other.
And I’m getting back to creating those powerful effects May Deforce be with you!
Perhaps it’s possible to detect “watch mode”, and display a 4x4 board instead?
I will surely die if I wait for this any longer. Give us something to play, play and play.
Great to see the development, just waiting for the first release.
May the Deforce be with you too. | 2019-04-25T15:03:16 | https://forum.defold.com/t/pixel-art-witchcrafter-rpg-puzzle-story/32285/10 |

(In theaters, February 2005) I can’t tell you how this remake compares to the original John Carpenter film, but as its own little suspense film it’s not too bad. While it’s a waste to see actors like Ethan Hawke, Gabriel Byrne and Lawrence Fishburne slum in B-movie roles like this, their talents are appreciated –especially in Fishburne’s case, as he lends a certain majesty to his role. The basic premise of the film hearkens back to westerns (what with an isolated fort and attacking savages) but the camera techniques are fully modern, complete with nervous editing and a hopping camera. At least there are some decent twists in the bargain. Unfortunately, little annoyances abound, such as how the “snow” never melts and all characters seem perfectly comfortable in a station that’s missing half its windows on Christmas’ Eve. Still, it doesn’t get really stupid until the end, where characters run out in an industrial area to end… in a forest. Whaaat? Oh well: for the longest time Assault On Precinct 13 at least has the look and feel of a perfectly respectable B-grade thriller. It will depend on your degree of indulgence that day. | 2019-04-19T22:14:06 | https://www.christian-sauve.com/2005/02/assault-on-precinct-13-2005/ |
Our team of professionals at KSA Group are all passionate about saving viable businesses and giving the best possible advice to directors, creditors and stakeholders in any insolvency situation. Many of our team have had direct personal experience of business distress and have felt that there are better ways to advise all those involved. Our team is headed up by Keith Steven, the managing director, Iain Campbell, the operations director, and our 2 licensed insolvency practitioners; Wayne Harrison and Eric Walls.
Our corporate advisors have many years of experience of talking to and negotiating with creditors, including banks and HMRC. The regional managers have all held senior positions in companies and know how to help businesses in distress.
Working alongside your board we can implement recovery and turnaround plans for companies large and small. With over 400 companies rescued using CVAs, this fantastically powerful technique, we are the UK’s leading experts in company voluntary arrangements (CVA). We can also use the power of a de facto CVA; this is where we do the “work of a CVA” to then negotiate time to pay deals with major creditors and or stand still arrangements on bank debts. There is no formal CVA filed in Court, but the fact that licensed insolvency people are putting forward workable restructuring plans, based on our assessment of the financial position, and detailed financial forecast that WE prepare is a powerful argument in support.
KSA Group is particularly keen to promote the use of rescue tools in insolvency as opposed to burial! Many people do not understand that the first aim of administration is rescue and that a company voluntary arrangement is a rescue tool that does work if done properly. | 2019-04-22T08:44:31 | https://www.ksagroup.co.uk/london-based-insolvency-practitioners/ |
The sound of hyenas scratching on the outside of our tent was the only thing filling the cool air that night on the Serengeti. It was midnight and a pack of hyenas had ventured from their nocturnal homes to ours. The only thing between us and them was a thin sheet of canvas.
The ill-reputed scavengers of the Serengeti had surrounded our tent pitched in the heart of the savannah. My confidence with the wild animals had grown after watching our guide laugh them away earlier that evening after dinner. I unzipped the tent with just enough room to shine my flashlight only to gaze upon a sea of glowing eyes. I slowly stepped outside and began to set up my tripod to photograph the night sky. The flashlight kept the seemingly dangerous predators at bay. The sea of eyes transitioned upwards as my attention turned to the beautiful night sky. The moment that I realized I was surrounded by hyenas in the middle of the Serengeti I thought to myself, this was the Africa I came to experience.
Energized by the encounter and unable to put my mind to rest made falling back to sleep challenging that night. We awoke hours later just in time watch the sun creep over the horizon of the African plains. Not even the animals had risen from their deep slumbers. The predawn light from the Tanzanian skies filled the grasslands with a soft red glow as we filled our canteens preparing for the morning adventure.
We departed on our pre-dawn game drive ahead of the sun and just minutes later we spotted a lioness sleeping just a few paces off the main trail. I should say Othman, our Tanzanian safari guide, and not me, had spotted her because spotting animals during the day was an art form. Spotting them before the morning light had broken, well that made him the master.
Othman had been a safari guide for roughly seven years and had attended years of safari guide school to earn a degree for his profession. He was from Arusha, the first stop for anyone looking to spot the big five, which include the lion, leopard, rhino, Cape buffalo and elephant, in Northern Tanzania. Othman was our eyes and ears for eight days as he navigated the vast lands of the Serengeti. Without him we would have been lost.
The morning of our late night visit from the hyenas Othman had suggested that we awake at 4:30AM for an early game drive. This was his best suggestion yet. We didn't see another safari truck or human for hours. It was just the picturesque savannah, the animals, and us.
When Othman spotted the golden lioness that morning, he stopped the vehicle, and we just watched her. She was sleeping undisturbed as the glowing African sun slowly crept over the Maasai rocks in the distance. As the sun rose so did she and she stretched and gazed over the pride lands. This was her home and we were just passing through.
Observing the animals in their natural habitat was unlike anything I had ever experienced. We came across elephants showering themselves in the mid-day sun, leopards carrying their kill high into the trees, and we even intruded on a couple of lions on their honeymoon. Always trying to remain respectful and preserving the healthy relationship the animals have with us onlookers.
It was our last day on safari, it was everything I could've asked for. The Serengeti is a vast sea of diversity and I could see why my guide loved his job. Some day I will return to Tanzania but until that day I can only dream of Africa. | 2019-04-18T22:51:04 | https://www.huffpost.com/entry/serengeti-game-drive_n_2940923 |
Jodi Benson was born as Jodi Marzorati on 10th October 1961 in Rockford, Illinois. She grew up in Rockford and started using her voice at age 5. The world knows Jodi as the wonderful voice of Disney's "The Little Mermaid". In 1989 Jodi Benson breathed life into one of Disney's most headstrong teenagers. She won the role of Ariel over at least 500 other actresses and The Little Mermaid has been recognized as one of the best animated films ever created. She admits that when she watches The Little Mermaid, she can see herself in Ariel. Jodi went to college at Millikin University, in Decatur, Illinois. She started out majoring in law... after one semester she changed her major and became one of the first students in the BFA program for musical theater. During Christmas break of her Sophomore year, she auditioned for a Broadway show, Broadway Follies, and got the job. Years later, she went back, got her degree and graduated. Her professors actually flew out to New York to see her in Crazy for You, and gave her 20 hours of Life Experience college credit. Since then, she has made a steady living on Broadway and won many awards. Jodi made her Broadway debut in Kenny Ortega's "Marilyn: An American Fable." She went on to create the starring role of Doria Hudson in the Howard Ashman/Marvin Hamlisch musical "Smile," as well as the part of Betty Bursteter in Cy Coleman's "Welcome to the Club." She did a national tour of "Sophisticated Ladies," an international tour of "Once Upon A Mattress" and a production of "West Side Story" in Venice, in which she played Anita. She also originated the role of Tania in the world premiere of "Dangerous Music" at the Jupiter Theater. Internationally, she shared the stage with her husband, Ray Benson, in the European premiere of Gershwin's "My One and Only," starring as Miss Edythe Herbert.In Los Angeles, she starred as Flora in "Flora the Red Menace" (Pasadena Playhouse), Ado Annie in "Oklahoma!" (Dorothy Chandler Pavilion), Eliza Doolittle in "My Fair Lady" (Alex Theater in Glendale), and as Florence Vassey in "Chess" (Long Beach Civic Light Opera) for which she won the Drama-Logue Award for Best Actress. Jodi can be heard on several recordings including Disney's Songs From the Sea, Disney Classics, Splash Hits, The Little Mermaid Soundtrack, and The Princess Collection; Varese Sarabande's Unsung Musicals I and A Hollywood Christmas, EMI/Angel's Crazy for You cast album, Warner Bros. Thumbelina soundtrack, and for EMI/Sparrow Records: Jodi Benson and the Beginners Bible I and II as well as her video series for children, "Guideposts Junction" - a six part series and album. Her animated television series include the Emmy Award-winning "The Little Mermaid," "Pirates of Dark Water", "Hercules", and "P.J. Sparkles" and many more. On the concert stage, Jodi has been the guest soloist at the Kennedy Center Honors for Ginger Rogers, and appeared at the Hollywood Bowl with conductor John Mauceri (summer of 1991, 1996, & 2004), The Indianapolis Symphony, Washington Symphony, Birmingham Symphony, Seattle Symphony, Akron Symphony, Disney's Central Park premiere for "Pocahontas," and "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" premiere at the New Orleans Superdome.She even provided the voice of an independent-minded robot named "Weebo" who plays opposite Robin Williams in Walt Disney Pictures' inventive live-action comedy, "Flubber." Jodi has lent her beautiful voice to everything that is the Little Mermaid, including CD's, talking Dolls, the television show, the sequel to the first movie, "The Little Mermaid II Return to the Sea" She has done voice-overs for so many other movies, including my personal favorite, Barbie in Toy Story II. Jodi married Ray Benson on 19th May 1984 at the age of 23. Ray is also a stage performer and singer, born in Birmingham, Alabama. Ray started tap dancing lessons when he was not quite 3 years old. By age 5 he was in "Gypsy" with Fannie Flagg at Town and Gown, and at 9 was in "Peter Pan" with Cathy Rye. During college at Auburn University, he joined the University Singers and during Summerfest's first season in 1979 he played the older Patrick in "Mame" with Patrice Munsel, among many other things. West Side Story for Town and Gown came next, with Ray playing Tony. During this time Benson met New York casting agent, Barry Moss. Following a summer at Opryland where he met his future wife, Jodi, the pair traveled to New York City and met with Barry Moss. Within 10 days he was in rehearsals for Oklahoma for a national tour traveling all over the states for seven months. Almost from the start they landed major roles. Jodi wrote an article for the inspirational magazine 'Guideposts' about how her marriage to Ray was unfortunately breaking down around the time the "Little Mermaid" was in production, and how they rebuilt their marriage with Christian counseling (which they were steered toward by a Disney animator), hard work, and faith in God. In 1999, Jodi gave birth to their son McKinley Benson at the age of 38 and in 2001, she gave bit to their daughter Delaney Benson at the age of 40. | 2019-04-24T02:26:11 | https://lucky-movies.com/actor/jodi-benson_54098/ |

Erin Brockovich is warning about an emerging drinking-water crisis in the US. Here’s how she recommends you protect yourself.
Erin Brockovich never drinks water straight from the tap.
Erin Brockovich is a former legal clerk and clean-water advocate who was made famous by Julia Roberts’ Oscar-winning portrayal of her in the 2000 film that shares her name.
Brockovich helped citizens of Hinkley, California, fight California Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) after unsafe levels of the carcinogen chromium-6 were found in their water.
Brockovich told Business Insider that she’s “funny” about her own drinking water.
She offered a few tips for how to determine if your tap water is safe to drink and what to do when it’s not.
If tap water looks like the color of “light pee,” Erin Brockovich refuses to drink it.
The self-billed “water gal” made a name for herself fighting California’s Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) in 1996, when chromium-6 leeched into tap water in the Mojave Desert. The legal case ended with a $333 million settlement.
At low-level concentrations, the cancer-causing chemical can turn clear water yellow, and when it’s really bad, a water source contaminated with ‘chrome-6’ can flow purple.
But even when tap water is perfectly clear, Brockovich admitted she’s still “funny about water,” and rarely, if ever, drinks straight from a tap.
She said this worry comes from what she sees as an unspoken “emerging crisis” the US: More unsafe drinking water is flowing out of our taps, and our system is unprepared to deal with the problem.
These days, chromium-6 (sometimes called “Erin Brockovich chemical”) is not her main concern.
“Right now, the largest emerging contaminant in the nation in water is PFOA – Perfluorooctanoic acid,” Brockovich said.
PFOA is a manufactured chemical that may be best known as Teflon, the nonstick substance that lets you easily slide scrambled eggs out of a pan. It’s part of a broad class of thousands of man-made chemicals called PFAS (perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances), that can be stain-proof, waterproof, and fireproof.
Unfortunately, the same qualities that make PFAS good at suppressing fires, keeping pants stain-free, and repelling rain means they don’t break down in the environment. Instead, the artificial chemicals remain intact in water and air for thousands of years.
They can also easily build up in the human body as they move from the water we drink into our bloodstreams. Experts agree that every person has at least some PFAS in their system. Excessive exposure to the chemicals can be linked to health problems, including low birth rates, liver damage, high cholesterol, chronic kidney disease, asthma, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), immunization resistance in children, early menopause, and colon ulcers.
“I think we’re pretty convinced that these chemicals are immune toxicants that we should be concerned about,” Linda Birnbaum, a microbiologist who directs the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences at the National Institutes of Health, said last month.
PFAS chemicals were darlings of chemical-industry leaders like 3M and DuPont for much of the 20th century following their discovery in the 1930s. PFAS were championed for their abilities to fight grease (Teflon) and repel water (Gore-Tex and Scotchgard). They were also used to make a firefighting foam used at military bases around the country.
But waste dumped from chemical-manufacturing plants can contaminate groundwater with PFAS chemicals, and they can also seep into lakes and other freshwater sources after firefighting foam gets used. PFAS are extremely persistent, so if they leech out of household products like cooking pans or if people unwittingly drink or inhale them, the chemicals bioaccumulate in our bodies. Then, they’re pretty much with us for life.
Researchers from Harvard estimated in 2016 that at least 6 million Americans – nearly 2% of the population – were drinking water with PFAS levels higher than what the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends. EPA testing done between 2013 and 2015 found significant amounts of PFAS in public water supplies in 33 US states.
Eight big chemical companies in the US (including DuPont and 3M) voluntarily phased out the chemicals in their products and replaced them with new ones by 2015. But those replacements are still largely unregulated by the EPA, and little is known about what they might do to us.
Meanwhile, PFAS chemicals are still found in many other products, like stain-resistant carpets and fabrics, food packaging, raincoats, and even some cosmetics. Though the concentrations of PFAS we’re exposed to through these sources are tiny, scientists like Birnbaum are increasingly concerned that even household dust may have elevated concentrations of the chemicals.
The “purified water” label on bottled water can mean many different things.
There are also a few ways to get rid of PFAS chemicals in your water. Experts like Birnbaum generally agree that reverse osmosis is one of the best techniques – that’s what Brockovich opts for. She has even agreed to endorse a filtering product for the first time ever: the AquaTru home water filter.
Using the reverse-osmosis filter is “the most certain way to clean your water,” Brockovich said.
AquaTru works like a filtered water pitcher, but it catches more contaminants. You place it on the counter, plug it in, and fill the purifier with water from the tap. The water goes through a four-stage filtration system, which removes fluoride, chlorine, and chloramine from the water, along with harmful viruses and bacteria. That process takes about 15 minutes for a gallon of water.
At around $470 (not including replacement filters), AquaTru is more expensive than a reverse-osmosis system you might buy at the hardware store, but most other filters require under-the-counter installation.
Brockovich said when she’s away from home, she opts for bottled water (though she tries to buy water in glass bottles, since plastic can leech chemicals). She doesn’t like the pollution bottled water creates, but Brockovich said she feels safer drinking water that has probably been filtered more thoroughly than the stuff that comes out of the tap.
That’s not true everywhere, though. Some states, like New Jersey, Vermont, and Connecticut, have adopted more stringent PFAS regulations than the EPA has.
Most bottled water sold in the US today is run through a filtration system before it gets packaged. Some labels even include the words “reverse osmosis.” But the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lets companies use the label “purified water” on water that’s been treated in several different ways, so it’s not always clear how it’s been filtered.
Brockovich also suggests people do their own visual inspection of tap and bottled water, and trust their instincts.
Although the EPA monitors our tap water, the agency has admitted it’s a tricky job.
“The EPA and public may not know if water arriving at taps meets national drinking water standards,” the agency wrote in a May 2018 report.
So an EPA stamp of approval does not always mean everything’s all right in your home.
Water-quality data for cities and towns around the country is required to be reported every year, and it’s available on the EPA’s website. But it’s easier to find water-quality reports for a big municipality like New York than it is to retrieve information on smaller towns like southern Bossier Parish, Louisiana. Health department officials there recently found deadly brain-eating amoebas in the water system.
There are also many chemicals that the EPA doesn’t test for. Unlike the FDA, which scrutinizes drugs and medical devices for years before they enter the consumer market, there’s no preemptive EPA approval process for chemicals.
Aging infrastructure is also to blame for water contamination. The American Society of Civil Engineers gave the US’ tap-water systems a D grade on its 2017 report card.
The EPA estimates that over $743 billion is needed for improvements to the country’s decaying water infrastructure.
But Brockovich isn’t holding out hope that’ll happen anytime soon.
In fact, the Trump administration is set to do the opposite. Trump’s EPA proposed a rollback on Tuesday that would undo decades-old protections for wetlands and streams that help maintain the quality of our water supply. This is in addition to the administration’s previous proposal to cut regulations on how dirt can be dumped into US waters, which was part of a failed infrastructure package that didn’t make it to a vote in the House. | 2019-04-22T22:38:09 | https://www.businessinsider.sg/erin-brockovich-contaminated-water-warning-pfas-chemicals-2018-12/ |
For many people, the idea of preparing a meal for a family can be intimidating. But there are plenty of people who enjoy creating new meals for their loved ones and those people always want to get the most out of every meal. If you are someone who enjoys cooking for your family, then there are small steps you can take to make sure every meal is interesting and delicious.
The idea of using fresh ingredients for every meal can sound exhausting, but it is truly worth the effort. By using the freshest produce and the freshest spices, you always get the best taste from your food. Many people who love cooking have their own garden for growing spices and vegetables that go from the garden right to the table.
The only way to find out what new foods your family enjoys is to try something new with every meal. This does not mean that you have to investigate how to make a new entree every day. Trying something new can be as simple as using a different spice for a meal, or creating a new side dish that your family has never tried before. When it comes to preparing great meals, variety is the key.
Even the worst tasting foods can appear edible if they are presented properly. In the restaurant industry, dressing up a meal on a plate is called plating the meal. Not only does taking the time to plate a meal make it better for your family, but it can be a great deal of fun as well.
Each week, your family should choose a day where they will sit down to a meal made up of several courses to make things interesting. For example, a three course meal consists of an appetizer, and entree and a dessert. Breaking a meal into courses makes it easier to enjoy each part of the meal, and it also gives you room for new presentation ideas.
While you may not have time to turn every meal into a gourmet experience, you can still make the effort to make each meal as exciting and fun as possible. | 2019-04-21T10:56:57 | http://www.healthscienceforum.com/making-every-meal-count/ |

A purchase gets you 11 levels today and access to the remaining 22 in the final release.
The retro-FPS Dusk, as we said in our preview earlier this week, is "not shy about its Quake-and-Doom inspiration." It's fast, bloody, loud (Brutal Doom composer Andrew Hulshult created the soundtrack), and looks (and plays) like it fell out a rupture in the space-time continuum that leads directly back to 1994. It is also, with very little fanfare, now available for pre-purchase on Steam.
Dusk, like Doom, will ultimately offer 33 levels spread over three episodes, the first of which, "The Foothills," is playable now. One of three "Endless" survival mode arenas is also in there, if you just want to run around and shoot stuff until you die, without worrying about... well, anything else at all, really. Multiplayer doesn't appear to be live yet, but it's on the way as well. It goes for $20/£15/€20. | 2019-04-23T06:42:24 | https://www.pcgamer.com/quake-inspired-fps-dusks-first-episode-is-available-now/ |
FEELING: We've been lucky to remain so healthy this Winter, but cold season caught up with me on Monday night and I had major regrets I didn't chug a daily Emergen-C while visiting my parents. Woof! Here's hoping I don't pass this mess on to Max and the cruddy feeling passes soon. I'm so over it already!! Sniffles and sore throat BE GONE.
THANKFUL FOR: We have this amazing place called Produce Junction and they have some of the cheapest flowers and plants. Max and I usually make a pit-stop once a week to load up on fresh blooms. This past Tuesday, I managed to leave the store with five bundles of Ranunculus, three bouquets of Hydrangeas, a potted Primrose plant, and a bag of Clementines—all for $28. Gone are the days of Swell Rio's glittery-dyed grocery store Carnations, but I do miss HEB.
THINKING ABOUT: Apparently they have a lot of rules about what you can and can't mail to the Middle East. Because I'm proactive, I didn't look into this until AFTER I sent Flyboy a package. Upon hearing some of the stipulations and the fact that they search everything, I'm fairly certain I just paid to have his box of goodies confiscated. Le sigh. I won't go into what I sent to him; however, I'll be surprised if it ever makes its way to him. Lesson learned. On to the next parcel.
READING: Since I started blogging, I haven't written in an actual journal in eight years. I know this because I came across my old notebook on Monday and some of the entries had me rolling. Around this time, Flyboy was in Oklahoma for four months of training and I was living in Swell Rio with the pups. I was working full-time, living in our base housing unit with nothing but an air mattress and TV. In my final journal entries, I contemplated topics like blogging (Imagine that?!), Justin Bieber as a guest editor at Vanity Fair (I was pretty ticked!), shipping two large dogs to Hawaii, ingesting A LOT of Subway, the night Tripp killed a dove, and a little boy named "Maxwell" who I saw each morning when I walked the pups. What the?! I totally forgot about this character. He was OBSESSED with Beesly and each morning while he waited for the bus, he insisted on petting her, which also led to him telling me "she has a lot of WOOF to her." This kid's mom was ALWAYS looking for him around dinner time and he was usually across the street from our house collecting rocks. Oh em gee. How did I forget about him? Clearly he must have been my Max muse.
LISTENING TO: Max got the Alpha Training Blue Dinosaur for Christmas and it's pretty hilarious to see him interact with the lifelike toy Velociraptor. I'm fairly certain he thinks he's Owen at this point, except for the fact that he doesn't own a vest (...yet). With this particular robotic toy, the more she's trained, the more she begins to respond to the commands of her owner. Because Maxwell has a sweet spot for his animatronic dino, it's one of the first items I take away when he's not making great choices. Since he's been on the struggle bus lately, he's spent a decent amount of time away from Blue and I know firsthand that she's NOT happy about it. I kind of forgot where I'd placed her last week, went to put away some linens in a closet I rarely open, and almost fell over when her eyes rolled back and she hissed at me. Apparently I didn't turn her off and this was the first interaction she'd had with a human in weeks and I paid for it big time. Holy crap, that caught me off guard!! I am NEVER making that mistake again.
WATCHING: Bravo fans, how do you feel about RHOBH? I'm thinking there's a snowball's chance in hell that LVP shows up for the reunion. Who's with me? Also, do you think Vanderpump set all of this up as Rinna suggested in this week's episode? They don't call her the side sniper for nothing. I'm interested to see what all of the text messages have to say. Oh, and the way Ken yells at Kyle. Yikes! Something tells me this will be LVP's final season. Thoughts??
EATING: More often than not, I'm eating soup or salad in the evenings right now because it's quick and easy. So imagine the joy I felt a few weeks ago on Sunday when I had steak leftovers to heat up for dinner. Jackpot! I looked forward to that meal from the moment I woke up; it was going to be the best part of my day. Max notified me that he wasn't hungry, but that he would like to learn more about the digestive system from a funny British duo on YouTube. This should have been a red flag, but I agreed to let him watch it in an effort to buy myself a little "me" time. I quickly regretted this decision upon sitting down at the table, looking up at the TV, and being totally grossed out by the subject matter. Yeah, the carne asada just wasn't very appetizing after Max's little science lesson. Dang it, kid!
LOVING: I recently got this Mid-Century Bench from The Inside for our living room and I'm beyond smitten with how it turned out. The emerald cabana stripes make me so happy every time I come downstairs and see them!! For those of you unfamiliar with The Inside, I learned about the company after reading about it in Domino Magazine. The furniture retailer sells a variety of headboards, pillows, chairs, benches, etc. that are all made from scratch in the USA in under three weeks (that NEVER happens!). The pieces come in a variety of fun patterns (a new one drops each week!) that have the ability to transform any space with the hope of encouraging people to go beyond the beige (You know I LOVE that!!). Nothing about this is sponsored as I paid for the piece myself, but I would recommend The Inside in a heartbeat to someone looking for a quality piece of furniture that's both reasonably priced AND unique at the same time. I was incredibly impressed with the process and how the company keeps you informed from the minute the fabric is cut to when the item will ship. Now to spray it with ALLLLL the Scotchgard because kids and pets. Ha!
How are you feeling today? What are you up to? Thanks for stopping by!!
Happy Wednesday, m' dears! Where to begin? As you probably noticed, I took last week off from blogging to get life in order after visiting my parents for a few days. It was nice to purge closets, catch up on season two of Friends From College, and read my new art book. The downtime was great, but I was reminded that sitting at my desk in the afternoons to create here and there is still very therapeutic for me. With the time difference and shoddy Internet connection, most of our communicating with Flyboy is done by the time lunch rolls around. As a result, the remainder of the day can feel really long and quiet here. The peacefulness is nice, but this space fills my tank in a way that keeps things light and bright as possible. It helps me shift my focus from "HOW IN THE HELL ARE WE GOING TO DO THIS FOR FIVE MORE MONTHS?" to the goodness that surrounds me instead. Lately, happiness has come in the form of punchy spots of cerise paint, snow kisses from Beesly, listening to my dad practice his guitar (he's getting SOOOO good!), signs of Spring on the horizon (even if the weather app disagrees), a lip mask that I'm fairly certain I used incorrectly—but fun nonetheless, and an army of dinosaurs lined up on Maxwell's bedroom floor.
Enough from me. What details have you found delightful lately?
Blue Mug // That dreamy shade of Yves Klein Blue gets me every single time. Now that's a pop of color!
Enamel Organic Shaped Tray // Are trays the new throw pillow? I can't seem to get enough these days.
Blossom Drop Earrings // So ecstatic to see they're offering my go-to earrings again in really fun colors.
Ellsworth Kelly Stamps // The cheapest work of Kelly's that I'll probably ever get my hands on. Eek!

Maison Deux Eyes Rug // You guys!! This is a rug. Yes, you read that correctly. How flipping adorable???
Paul's Dog Jumper // The price is a bit ridiculous, but sometimes you need a statement piece. Right??
Single Row Beaded Brooch // Would you believe me if I told you Ganch made this from a pill bottle cap?
Hair Scarves // You can always rely on H&M for one swell of a deal, wouldn't you agree?? Perfection.
Striped Washi Tape // I'm getting low on my favorite roll of washi tape and I'm kind of freaking out.
If Not Now... // These inspirational graphics are a dime a dozen on Pinterest, but pink and red forever.

FEELING: You guys, I'm pretty bummed. I came this close to hobnobbing with Bravo-lebrities two weeks ago and I didn't even know it. Gah! This is so typical of me. I had ONE chance and I blew it. Let me explain. Those of you who are familiar with the Real Housewives of Dallas know a thing or two about BFFs Brandi and Stephanie. Apparently they have a podcast and at the end of each episode they prank call viewers/fans. I was unaware of this until my sister informed me last week. You see, Aubrey listens to their podcast and when they asked followers on Instagram to submit names for potential prank calls, Aub shot them a DM with my information. Apparently they went back and forth coming up with ideas about fake products they might try to pitch me. So when my sister and I were chatting on the phone last Friday, she asked me: "Hey, have you gotten any phone calls from Texas lately?" Clueless, I responded with a "yes" and droned on about all the scam phone calls I get on a daily basis. She went on to ask, "Any from Dallas?" I pulled up my call log and there were FOUR missed calls on January 29th from the DFW area. I shared this with her and she went on to explain the rest. Yep, I was pretty bummed. I can't say for sure it was them, but I'm going to let myself believe they have my cell number and that they gave it a shot. Wouldn't you?! Now, if it was Kam trying to call and tell me I won a lifetime supply of pink dog food for Beesly, I'd decline. In this case, I really DO give a rip!
THANKFUL FOR: I don't know whether to be appreciative or weirded out by the following, but in the spirit of gratitude I'm just going to roll with it. In an age of Siri, Alexa, and a creepy number of targeted ads, I found it oddly convenient that Xfinity opted to give us a few weeks of Showtime for free. I was just talking to my mom and Flyboy about how difficult it would be to wait for the final season of Shameless to be released on Netflix. Not even 24 hours later, I was flipping through the guide on our TV and realized we had a trial subscription through February 24th. I'm all caught up on season 9 now, but have this fear the trial will end before the finale. Yoo hoo! Big Brother, if you're reading this, please don't cancel my Showtime until I complete the series. Ya year??
THINKING ABOUT: I guess I figured that since there wasn't any catchy term for age four (i.e. terrible twos, threenager, etc.), we would be in the clear. Kinda? WRONG! Try again. Life with a four year old is like living with an impulsive and emotionally unstable attorney. The need for power and constant negotiation is downright exhausting. I worried I might have trouble sleeping while Flyboy was away, so I bought a bottle of melatonin gummies a few weeks ago. Guess what?! Don't need 'em. By the time I get Max to bed and my head touches the pillow, I'm down for the count.
READING: It's been awhile since I shared a round-up of articles I found entertaining, thought-provoking, witty, etc.
12 Women on Their First Crushes via The Cut — Mine was definitely JTT!
LISTENING TO: Last week I shared that Max and I have a front row seat on the struggle bus these days. All aboard! Yes, this past Sunday ranks up there as one of the worst days of motherhood ever—right next to the infamous airport meltdown of 2017 in which he escaped from his stroller and several strangers came to check on us and offer me water. Anywho, it's been a wild ride for this mother-son duo. I won't bore you with too many details from this dreadful day, but it did include my son screaming at the top of his lungs: "I don't like you! You are the WORST-EST mommy I ever had!! Worst-est mommy EVER!!!!" Upon sharing this with an online friend who has four-year-old twins, she reminded me that a really bad mom would have corrected his grammar. Hehe! Trust me, I was tempted.
WATCHING: Seth Meyers and Ina Garten day-drinking!! Please tell me you watched this already. If not, stop what you're doing and prepare for ten minutes of giggly bliss. It is THE best!! I've never seen the Barefoot Contessa quite like this and by the end of the segment the two are blitzed. "Can we NOT talk about Jeffrey!"
EATING: I don't know what it is about pot pie, but I swear it's my kryptonite. I can't remember the last time I ate it because I literally become a ravenous animal when it's placed in front of me. I suppose this comfort food takes me back to my childhood (my sister and I were obsessed) and because life is short, I should probably just eat the damn pot pie. Since cooking for one is kind of boring and a low priority right now, I might take a hint from A Cup of Jo and try these Shortcut Pot Pies, made with Trader Joe's ingredients. They look amazing!
LOVING: Per Lara's recommendation (she's been my go-to beauty blogger for the past few years—her picks never disappoint!), I'm giving the Ole Henriksen Goodnight Glow a shot. I've been alternating it on the nights I don't use the Beautycounter Overnight Resurfacing Peel and Mario Badescu Seaweed Night Cream. So far I'm pretty impressed with how glowy it makes my skin look in the morning. While I understand that anti-aging products like this typically take six weeks or more to really see results, I have a feeling this will be a regular in my skincare regimen.
How are you feeling today? Any plans for Valentine's Day? Thanks for stopping by!!
Anyone else wish they could slip away for a few days and pack nothing but a swimsuit and sun hat? In the event I hit it BIG time, I promise to take you all with me. Ya hear? For now, I will stay cozy in Delaware and live vicariously through all the fancy bloggers on Instagram who have friends with homes in the Bahamas (Say what?!), stare at the wintry mix of weather forecasted on my phone, and dream about which one of these one-piece suits I'd take with me on my fake sunny escape. All snark aside, J.Crew is kind of killing it with their swimsuit selection right now. I have no business browsing, but if I did it would come down to one of these three happy options. Which one is your favorite?
The Belted Colorblock, Tipped Seersucker, or the Polka-Dot?
Cuesta Pillow // What happens when yummy texture teams up with a classic stripe? That's right, THIS!
Melanie Johnsson // Color me obsessed with this illustrator. How adorable are these freebies and sunny patterns?? Let's not forget about the beautiful hand lettering. I love her sentiment toward the new year.
Mint Majesty 3 // Visiting Serena & Lily's website is one of my favorite ways to learn about new artists.
Kayu Isabel Bag // Seagrass totes adorned with pom-poms? Sounds like a fabulous combination to me.
Batched & Bottled // Wouldn't this be a lovely gift? I'll be banking this beauty in the future to give away.
Pebbles Basket // On the hunt for more organization, I was immediately drawn to this for obvious reasons.
I Love Life Clutch // I'm just going to go ahead and cue the music to Stevie Wonder's "Isn't She Lovely."
KT Smail // If you're ever feeling down, I encourage you to browse KT's portfolio. Oh, the colors!
Cashmere Cardigan // I sure hope it means we see more of this lemon zest hue come Spring. It's dreamy!
Heart Dot Silk Everything Tie // Eek! This accessory tied onto your purse for the whole month of February!
I Love Your Heart Travel Jewel Box // The navy trim and a whimsical heart front and center. Gimme.
I Blame the Algorithm // I'm digging the clever selection of note cards by And Here We Are Letterpress.
Velvet Pencil Doorstop // This is giving me some serious Claes Oldenburg vibes and I flipping adore it.
Blobs of Paint // Would you believe me if I told you Hendry actually created these with colored pencils?
The Remi Slingback // Flats referred to as "the exclamation point to any good look." You can count me in.
Palm Cut-Out Earrings // Based on today's list, you think I want to head somewhere warmer? You're right!
Red Heart Note Pad // Are you sick of Valentine's Day hearts on everything yet? Good, me neither.
Cabana Journal // One glance and I was all like "I can't wait to jot down notes, ideas and thoughts in you!"

Happy Wednesday, m' dears! Let's dive straight into the Dover deetz, shall we?
We got two inches of snow last Friday and yesterday it was 65 degrees. What gives, Mother Nature?! Whether that means we need to bundle up or grab a light jacket and sunnies, I'm learning just how important it is for Max and I to go outside and get some fresh air while Flyboy is away. Winters in Texas were mild, so we had no excuse but to get outdoors daily and we did. Unfortunately, we've gotten in a bad habit since it got colder here in Delaware and we haven't made it part of our routine. Time for a re-think!
Max has been struggling quite a bit in his dad's absence. He's exhibited some aggression and over the past few days has talked A LOT about how long FB's been away. This is difficult for me because I know we've barely made a dent in this deployment. I'm trying my best to figure out how to deal with his frustration, but some days are easier than others. Thanks to FaceTime, Max gets to talk to FB a lot. We get out our world atlas and globe on a daily basis and point to where he's at on the map. Scrolling through old photos and videos on my phone is one of his favorite things to do before he goes to bed and his Daddy Doll has been a godsend. It's uncharted territory for us and I pray we find our groove soon. One day at a time.
Support from family near and far has been incredible. My in-laws have been sending snail mail regularly and they even gifted me with a surprise subscription to The Magnolia Journal. It was such a treat to find a copy of the Spring issue in my mailbox! And as mentioned last week, my parents made their way to our place over the weekend. It was really nice to see their smiling faces and enjoy some company. Mom and I visited Terrain and Trader Joe's to help break up the mundane, and it was just what I needed! Dad came in clutch as babysitter, but also helped give Max the boost he needed to participate in soccer on Sunday.
I've been trying to make more time to read lately and I forgot how much I missed sitting down with a book regularly. It's so easy for me to fall into a Bravo black hole when FB is gone, so I'm trying to set aside at least 30 minutes a night. The book, Joyful, is currently on my night stand and I'm fairly certain the author has given me the green light to surround myself with ALL the color and flowers FOREVER. Right??
Enough from me. How the heck are you? I'm dying to know.
Rifle Paper Co. Pillows // Tell me you're equally obsessed with Rifle's latest line of home goods. Eek!
Statement Fan Earrings // My mom has these in light pink and they're oodles of fun. I want a set too.
Confetti Hearts Wall // I adore the idea behind artist Evelyn Henson's latest work. Talk about Insta worthy!
Candle Holder // I laid eyes on these and it was love at first sight. Then I learned they're discontinued.
Driving Moccasins // Remember when we lived in Hawaii and I was on the hunt for driving mocs? I think I may have even devoted an entire post to the topic. Ha! Some good things take six or seven years to find.
Snake Toy // We read My Snake Blake and now Max thinks he needs a snake of his own. Will this do?
Dylan Wicker Shoulder Bag // You guys!! Wicker and stripes. Now if we could just work on that price tag.
Carnival Round Sunglasses // Round, oversized, and the epitome of cool. Maybe they're Iris inspired?!
Rain Jacket // I didn't believe this coat could be any more perfect until it came in Sundrenched Peony!!
Esme Heart Pins // It's officially FEBRUARY so we get to smear hearts on all the things. Don't mind if I do.
Crossbody Strap // Flyboy got me a new CV bag for Christmas and I think this is a necessary companion.
Delaunay Playing Cards // How gorgeous is this set of playing cards designed by Sonia before she died?
Kaleido Tray // This royal blue beauty by HAY is dreamy! Let's mix and match the atypical shapes.
Thank You For Being A Friend // Keep things organized and honor the Golden Girls while you're at it.
Pink Sedan // Gimme, gimme, gimme. I need, I need. This is what bubblegum dreams are made of.
Yes You Can Mug // Nothing like a vote of confidence each morning from your cofveve cup. He He!
Caliana Slide Sandal // As if I didn't want to escape somewhere warm already, these up the ante BIG time.
Tess Smith-Roberts // I love how the artist incorporates great typography with her whimsical illustrations.
Dresser // No, I'm not crazy ($$$). I just can't help but wonder what the linen looks like in person?? | 2019-04-23T08:10:19 | http://www.onefinea.com/2019/02/ |
Published on February 11th 2019 – Rena Zendedel received the award for her dissertation “Informal interpreting in Dutch general practice” from NeFCA, the Netherlands-Flanders Communication Association. The award aims to acknowledge excellent dissertations in the field of Communication Sciences and wants to recognize the quality of doctoral research in the Netherlands and Flanders. The prize was awarded during the “Etmaal van de Communicatiewetenschap” in Nijmegen last week.
The aim of this dissertation was to study informal interpreter-mediated communication in general practice by taking an integrative approach which combines the perspectives of all three interlocutors, that is Turkish-Dutch patients, informal interpreters – patients’ family members – and GPs on interpreters’ role perceptions and performances.The dissertation showed that patients and informal interpreters often aligned in their perspectives on interpreting in the medical setting (they expect the interpreter to advocate for the patient, to provide emotional support and to counsel), but that the perspective of GPs was different (they mainly expect the interpreter to translate). Audio recordings of actual consultations revealed that informal interpreters translated less than half of what is being communicated. Informal interpreters replaced both patients and GPs by asking and answering their questions. As a result, patients and GPs were (partly) excluded from the interaction by informal interpreters. These results pointed to potential miscommunications and frustration during the medical interaction.
According to the jury, the research addresses a relevant and significant issue for minorities in the Netherlands. The jury complimented Rena for applying a unique approach by addressing it from three perspectives simultaneously: the perceptions of patients, of interpreters well as the perceptions of the doctors. The jury also appreciated that Rena conducted an impressive scope of work and utilized a variety of methods to inform her study. Beyond its remarkable scientific quality, the research has the capacity of making tangible impact on policy in the healthcare sector in the Netherlands and beyond.

This is my first thread in this Forum. So need a little introduction. Let the first picture explain the terrain where this Tread starts. It is somewhere near to Wafra, an agriculture area in Kuwait.
The picture will give some hint about the Vehicle.
Yes. It is a Toyota vehicle.
I was using Mitsubishi Galant Super Saloon (SS) prior to the proposed vehicle. The Galant is the elder brother of Mitsubishi Lancer, which is available in India. Shape almost identical but slightly bigger bonnet and cargo space. Like lancer it got low seating position (i). Entry and Exit are difficult. It got cargo space, but the cargo space door won’t open fully. Mostly we have weekend visit to airport to see off friends and relatives. Hence, the cargo space is important but due to the door opening is not wide enough to include second baggage (ii). Managing bumps is difficult when three passengers are accommodated at the rear seat(iii). Again, the car got blue metallic paint. Dark color is difficult to manage, as climate condition changes quickly. If any scratches, it will be highlighted. I prefer white color(iv). I used this vehicle extensively, and reached the time to change that vehicle particularly i, ii, iii, and iv above.
During my vacation, I got chance to drive rental Mahindra Scorpio (2008 Model) for almost one month. I made long drives, and some off-road drives. It was a different feel driving an SUV. The captain seat view is amazing. Seating is high. Ingress and Egress are easy. Difficult for parents. Decent cargo space, with wide opening door.
So, Why can’t I try a land cruiser Prado. I fond that a new design with a new front profile is coming in year 2011. There are two flavors, 4Cyclinder (2.7VVT) and 6 Cylinder (3.2VVT). Only petrol variants are available. Six Cylinder model is having sapre tyre mounted on back door, while 4 Cylinder under the belly. Each model got different options. They call it as TX, TX-L, TX-L1 etc., TX model is having very basic options while TX-L model is having almost all options. The price difference is very high in between these models. The model available here in Kuwait comes from Japan. They offer warranty of 3 years or 100,000Kms which ever come early. The Toyota agent here in Kuwait is known and well established. They have garages in almost all main places. They send technicians to Japan for extensive hands-on training.
Finally, settled for Land Cruiser Prado TX-L (4 Cylinder Full options 4x4). It got side graphics of Land Cruiser Prado. Now let the picture explain. The vehicle at the delivery garage. The technicians will give a short demo of all controls. The vehicle is Left Hand Driving (LHS) driving, compared to India where RHS driving. Roads are well laid with all markings, not like Indian Roads.
No Pre-Delivery Inspections (PDI). There are many quality check points. The vehicle handing over is a separate process, on a separate delivery garage. Before delivering to customer, they inspect all areas, including tyre pressure. The first service is at 1000kms as with all countries. The service interval is 5000kms for engine oil change. The first 1000kms (running period), they advice to drive below 3000rpm, or 100kms. No unwanted engine raising. Like in India, the insurances are third party and comprehensive. I opted for comprehensive insurance for the first year, and third party for second, third years. The Toyota agent will make registration, and other documentations. One can complete in 30 minutes all these paper works. Now the vehicle completing third year with 35000km on Odometer.
The third seat is flat bed type. We can pull it to its regular position to accommodate the passenger or flatbed for cargo space. This is the beauty of the new model. The same Prado models are available in India, but with Diesel Engine. I found one in Nippon Toyota Kottayam. It is having 3.0Litre D4D Diesel engine, the same one in Fortuner but with different Tuning. Toyota follow different numbering, I believe it is GX or VX options. Prado cabin is roomy unlike Fortuner. The driver seat is properly positioned to have a good view of the Terrain.
Climate control is three zone individually controllable. The front passengers can adjust separate temperature settings, while the rear can have different settings.
The 4x4 Control by a rotary switch, near to Transmission lever.
A small fridge is positioned at the middle portion between front seats. It can accommodate decent items for 5 passengers at least. The rear side of the fridge, is having separate climate control for rear passengers.
Flat bed third row seating. The seat can be folded, and kept as flatbed. It increases the cargo space. The middle seats can be moved front, and back. So two adults can easily occupy these seats.
The stereo system is regular, 6CD changer but no video options. Green indicator on the console is the rear parking sensors, graphically readable. Steering mount control are handy to control Bluetooth paired phones, and Stereo. The traction is Automatic (4Speed), with 4x4 options. Disc brakes all around, and braking performance is much better compared to Toyota Fortuner.
The driver can see all rear passengers through this mirror. The passenger can feel that as if they are talking face to face.
There is Malayalam Film, ‘Thiruvambadi Thampan’. The film is all about a Land Cruiser Prado, making some off-road driving. On a big screen, the side profile is very much interesting. Exteriors are properly aligned to enhance the overall character.
Interiors are excellent, but same aspect with Toyota not provisioning LCD, Navigation systems etc. Space is sufficiently enough.
Ride and Handling is super. Let me refer back to first or second picture, where we did little off-road driving. It got balanced control on any Terrain. Steering is smooth, and controls well on slow speed as well as high speed.
Note: Thread Now Live From T.I.P Zone. Thanks!
That was a nice & short review. The starting section was really interesting.
You have got yourself a very good car. The prado is a car which has got some capabilities of its bigger brother TLC.
How old is the vehicle now? How much kms done?
Is there 4x2 Option available in Kuwait?
Nice thread, it would be rare and iconic.
In one of the pic, I see, your thigh is very close to steering wheel, does the steering touch the driver's thigh at some point?
Thanks 350Z, jihu123, and Tornado.
What Tornado mentioned is right. But it is not because of captain seat, or steering wheel. I am 6'1''. Now you can figure out me from one of the picture. The steering wheel is having adjustments, together with driver seat adjustments can make comfortable driving position.
As mentioned before, the Malayalam Film, ‘Thiruvambadi Thampan’ will show the true capacity of Prado. These two below pictures will explain the true caliber of Land Cruiser Prado.
Welcome to TAI. It is a sensible buy for the Gulf countries. Enjoy the Prado to the fullest and do post pictures of any offroading adventures you have undertaken. If I am not wrong this is the first Prado post in our forum.
What's the price of the SUV there?Do you have Toyota service networks or have different brands being serviced at a single place.How long does the govt issue fitness or after how many years does one have to get fitness checked by any govt agency?
Excellent review and beautiful pictures. This reminds me my days in KSA in 80's where I was owning a Mitsubishi Galant sedan. It was a really a good car and for it's memory I bought a Lancer Glxd as soon as HM introduced in India.
To draneeshpm, noted your points. Watch this space for more details.
To AR Ram, noted your memories. Let me add a picture that will provide little more details. The Galant in your picture is 4th generation model. It may be rear wheel drive. Later models are front wheel drive. This model is most sturdy and robust. Sheet metal used of high quality. I owned both generation 6 and 8.
Nice that you are keeping your old memories. I regret lately about my mistake of not keeping any vehicle pictures. The color of my previous vehicle was amazing. No photos taken to make any reference.
Yes, it was a rear wheel drive. After that I bought a Chevy Impala which got amazing comfort, automatic transmission with the lever near the steering wheel, the music system was 8 track cartridge. Down below is the file image and what I had was a metallic sky blue color.
Those nostalgic memories and those vehicles are still haunting me!!!!
Transporting vehicles to Kuwait is a big story. These vehicles are manufactured at Toyota facilities in Japan (Made In Japan). Toyota is having different variants of vehicles and sells in two profiles, regular Toyota Vehicles, and Lexus brand Vehicles. Lexus brand is for high end products with separate channel for transportation, sales, and service. Let us focus on regular brands in this discussion. They sell cars such as Camry, Corolla, Aurion, Innova, RAV4, FJ Cruiser, Fortuner, Land Cruiser Prado, Land Cruiser, Hilux, Sequoia, Yaris, Coaster Series Mini Bus, HiAce Van etc. These vehicles reach Dubai port using Mother Ships, and later moved to Kuwait in smaller Ships.
Two pictures showing for illustration (Courtesy to the respective owners- from web).
The stock yard is another big area, in square kilometers. They have separate garage for quality checks, key-point checks, and final hand-over to respective customers. The reception lobby of this delivery garage is like a mini Auditorium. Throughout the shipments they maintain one sticker as showed below. This sticker is positioned just below the rear view mirror on front glass.
Some customers will maintain this sticker for years, or they move to side mini glass for showing as new vehicle. But, this sticker/card is the sole tracking document for the entire shipment till the customer end.
We used to have a Gen 6 Mitusbishi Lancer (not Galant) in the exact same colour as the one in the photo. One of our friends had the exact same Galant in the same color. I, as a little kid, used to wonder what the difference was between the Lancer and the Galant then except for the different names, auto gearbox and power windows.
Even now, I wonder if there was a difference in the engine capacities. It was funny how two cars that looked exactly the same from outside could have different names back then.
Hey Mathew, Congrats on your beautiful Prado , the LC Prado is the apt vehicle. Much better than the 'Fortuner' offered here in India. LC Prado looks stunning in white color, just love the stance of it, its a real SUV.
Thanks for all the shipment info. etc. very interesting.
Pls. do share some more offroading experiences of yours in your 'Prado' with lots and lots of pics, thanks.
Congratulations on your Toyota Prado..
As we all know the Technically and Mechanically Toyota badged Cars are very well done and its proved all through this years. But as i see in all the segment cars from Toyota, the interiors (Dashboard objects setup) were not matched with the competitors.
Even in India Innova and Fortuner were not having designed with some good looking Dashboards / Consoles etc., Its simple and plain looking. | 2019-04-26T10:20:43 | http://www.theautomotiveindia.com/forums/threads/my-land-cruiser-prado-ownership-review.15156/ |

The first question is ‘should you invest in stocks’? It depends on your attitude about ‘investing’. Investing really means ‘for keeps’. You have to like the things you invest in.
What would some examples of these things be?

The package can include new LED lighting, updated forward and aft entry coves, Boeing Sky Interior sidewall panels and air grilles, and larger-capacity stow bins. The upgrades create a greater sense of spaciousness at the ceiling.
Boeing collaborated with EnCore Interiors, Inc., on the industrial design and with EMTEQ for the lighting. The companies’ close working relationship will enable Boeing to offer options carefully tailored for each operator’s needs.
While Boeing continues to offer retrofits of the popular Boeing Sky Interior, the enhanced Next-Generation 737 interior offers customers another option for creating interiors to support their unique brands.

Converting Aeroplan points into US Airways Dividend Miles - Don't Call the Airline!
How do you convert Aeroplan points to USDM? Points.com is a third-party points conversion site that a number of Frequent Flyer program are affiliated with. On this website you can convert points for free, or you can exchange them with another program for a fee. Typically I would say that the rates points.com offers are obscene, and not to use them. However, there is an exception, and that’s with Aeroplan -> USDM. Points.com offers a conversion ratio of 1:0.84 to USDM, with no fee. Note that the conversion isn’t instantaneous, it takes between 1-5 days for the points to be deposited into your account. To convert, register your USDM and Aeroplan accounts on Points.com. After that, click on “Trade, Exchange, & Buy,” then click on “move out of a program,” and select ‘Aeroplan.’ Scroll down to the “Exchange” table, and find USDM. Follow the instructions on Points.com to convert.
NOTE: You only get preferential conversion rates if your Points.com account is registered as an American account. So when you register, say your address is in the States. Moreover, you can only convert 100,000 Aeroplan points out of your account annually.
Why would I want to convert my Aeroplan points to USDM? I’m losing points! All points aren’t created equal. Aeroplan has some sweet spots, just like USDM has some sweet spots. For example, if you look at the USDM award chart, you’ll notice that round-trip flights with partner airlines is a much better redemption value than with Aeroplan. With USDM, for a flight to North Asia, you’ll pay 60/110/120 (economy/business/first) for a roundtrip flight from North America, while with Aeroplan you’d pay 75/150/210. You will be losing 16% of the volume of your points, but the converted points may be more valuable, making up (and exceeding) the loss of 16%.
Even better, USDM only applies fuel surcharges on BA and Iberia! Still even better, though USDM has left Star Alliance, you can still redeem points with a number of their Star Alliance partners.
Note that when booking with USDM, you must book a round-trip flight. Furthermore, you have to book partner airlines over the telephone. Some of their agents are, ahem “special.” You see, USDM agents price their awards manually, so the agent has to use their strong geographic knowledge to book your award. Some (most) USDM agents didn’t do too well in high school geography, which can be to your benefit (i.e. agent might think that Sydney AU is in Asia, not Oceania, and price it accordingly). They’ll never charge you too much (if they try, just correct their geographic knowledge), but they might well charge you less. At some point I’ll do a post about USDM, but I have to learn a bit more about it myself.
In conclusion, it can be an excellent use of your Aeroplan points to convert them into USDM, even though you’re losing 16% of the volume.
Good to know! I travel primarily NA–Europe, so I’m better off sticking with AP but Asia travel looks attractive. Another good post!
You’re right! I will edit the post asap. | 2019-04-24T11:47:57 | https://dcta.boardingarea.com/2014/07/converting-aeroplan-points-into-us-airways-dividend-miles/ |

Despite Passive Infrared Sensos (PIR) being common in small premises, there are still no cost-effective detectors for large areas such as high warehouses, industrial buildings, parking areas, ports, logistics terminals, city streets, parks. The sensor has special outputs available for light dimming, security systems communications, IP cameras, WMS, BMS and can be integrated with DALI, KNX, LoRa, NB-IoT, Sigfox, and Wi-Fi communication modules, allowing it to communicate with the IoT, Smart building and Smart City systems. The wall-mounted sensor can cover an area of up to 3000 sq. m, and its radius covers up to 80 m of a rack aisle when ceiling-mounted.

Long renown as Australia’s coffee capital, Melbourne is the place to come if you want the best coffee Australia has to offer.
If there is only coffee house you visit make Brother Baba Budan your choice.
The warehouse-style café, located near Melbourne Central, may look deceivingly simple but the focus is all on the coffee. Try their signature double ristretto – it’s been said this is the perfect balance of milk and coffee.
Any café that takes the time to roast their own beans often have some of the best blends and this is true at The League of Honest Coffee in Exploration Lane.
They’ve created a smooth blend that goes well with all milk types, but still tastes great as an espresso.
Melburnian's love their bikes so why not stop at The Little Mule, a bike themed café in Somerset Place. Their blends are done well, if not a little bitter at times, but it’s the smooth mix they create which is perfect for the first coffee of the day.
My server placed a small glass vessel on the table, placed a wooden stand over it, and then atop the stand was a ceramic filter basket with my coffee grounds. She poured perfectly hot water with the deliberation of a monk and stirred the grounds with a small paddle, waiting for it to slowly trickle into the glass. Once that was complete, she poured the black liquid into another ceramic flask, which she placed on my table with a smile. "Your coffee, sir."
Melbournians take their coffee really seriously. | 2019-04-21T00:28:38 | https://www.afar.com/places/brother-baba-budan-melbourne |
When I shockingly learned of the proposed name change of MEChA at the MEChA National Conference 2019 at UCLA, I didn’t know whether to cry or yell. Given that I was raised in one of the most dangerous/toughest public housing projects/neighborhoods in the country, the notorious Ramona Gardens housing project or Big Hazard projects in Boyle Heights, where I don’t want to lose my “street cred,” I resorted to the latter. As a result, the cops paid a visit to me at my home. After assuring them that all was well, and that I had “accidentally hit my foot” on the corner of my metal bed frame, I decided to write down some short reflections about the state of MEChA (or lack thereof in terms of its future?) to express what this important organization means to me and its significance for students (current and future) and alumni from our high schools, colleges and universities.
Apart from being a haven or “safe space,” I learned about my people’s history and to be proud of my identity. I became so involved in MEChA that I changed majors from mathematics to history, where I “minored” in “Dr. Juan Gómez-Quiñones Studies.” By taking courses from Dr. Gómez-Quiñones —one of the greatest intellectuals of our time— for the first time in my life, I learned about my people. I learned that the Mexican people in el norte also had a history, that we mattered and were worthy of studying at elite universities like UCLA and UC Berkeley. Prior to learning about the Mexican people and their/our contributions to this country, growing up, my heroes consisted of Bruce Lee, Muhammad Ali and Dr. J (legendary basketball pro from the 76ers). To paraphrase from one of Dr. Rodolfo F. Acuña’s book titles, as a kid, I wanted to be “anything but Mexican.” Once I joined MEChA, I didn’t want to be anything else but a Mexican or Chicano! I still don’t!
As a MEChista, I also gained political consciousness. While I didn’t normally read or write during my poor/inadequate K-12 education, apart from my assigned Chicana/o studies books, I began to read the great works of Marx, Che, Chomsky, Gramsci, Fanon and others, allowing me to acquire a better understanding of the world in general and, particularly the inherent contradictions of capitalism. In MEChA, we debated these great thinkers —unfortunately, mostly male— and how their ideas and theories applied to us as Chicanas/os in a land that once belonged to us or, as the saying goes, as “strangers in our own land.” Essentially, as MEChistas, while we were taking our own courses and studying different subject matters, simultaneously, we were teaching ourselves about these influential thinkers, and others, under the premise that it’s not enough to understand the world, but to transform it (Marx).
Moreover, I learned to become a highly successful community activist/organizer. While West Point trains young cadets/minds to become leaders for the empire, MEChA’s mission has historically been to train young organizers/minds to become leaders for los de abajo. This is not to imply that MEChA (or individual MEChA chapters) has (or have) always been successful, where, based on its leadership at any given time, it can be a place to party and “hook up” or a place to liberate and educate or other options. For me, MEChA represented the foundation to become a leader for my people and other oppressed peoples—domestically and internationally. In doing so, it taught me to be self-confident and outspoken. For example, as MEChistas during the mid-1980s, we organized and spoke out against apartheid in South Africa, U.S. intervention in Central America, police abuse in Los Angeles and many other causes at the cost of our own education (e.g., lack of focus on courses, grades, etc.). Essentially, our activism betrayed or jeopardized many of our immigrant parents’ dreams or sueños for us to become abogados, doctores y ingenieros!
On campus, we organized conferences and events to recruit more Chicanas/os and Latinas/os to higher education. We also defended the most vulnerable among us. For example, when then-UCLA Chancellor Charles Young decided to cut financial aid to undocumented immigrants, we organized an eight-day hunger strike (November 11-19, 1987). Led by then-student leader Adrian Alvarez, a total of five hunger strikes went on a liquid-only fast in defense of our undocumented brothers and sisters. This historic hunger strike, as I’ve previously written about, “… provided an organizing model for other Chicana/o student activists to stage similar hunger strikes at UCLA (May 24-June 7, 1993), UCSB (April 27-May 5, 1994) and other colleges/universities.” The 1993 hunger eventual led to the creation of the UCLA César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o Studies.
Once I left UCLA to organize at the community (and national) level, I successfully co-founded the Association of Latin American Gardeners of Los Angeles (ALAGLA) to challenge the City of Los Angeles’ 1996 draconian leaf blower ban. If convicted, under this ban, Latino immigrant gardeners would be subject to outrageous penalties: misdemeanor charge, $1,000 fine and up to six months in jail. The other co-founders included MEChistas from UCLA, along with Mexican gardeners like Jaime Aleman, whom we met at UCLA. I’ve written about ALAGLA in periodicals, online outlets and journal articles. I’ve also held talks and symposia about this historic campaign, along with being profiled in magazines.
In addition to ALAGLA, as a then-lead organizer with Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), I led the efforts to defeat a proposed power plant in South Gate, California. As I noted in my Z Magazine article (2001), “… Sunlaw Energy Partners’ proposal to build a 550-megawatt power plant in South Gate, (one of seven cities in SELA), as a demonstration of environmental racism. If built, this plant would have emitted over 150 tons of pollution per year, including particulate matter (PM10). PM10 (fine particles of soot) has been linked to premature death, including heart failure and respiratory ailments such as asthma and bronchitis. The plant (the size of Dodger Stadium) would have impacted hundreds of thousands of residents, including over 100 schools, 13 hospitals, numerous convalescent homes, day care centers, and parks.” I’ve also written about this historic campaign in periodicals and journal articles, where it has also been documented in books and short documentaries.
All of the aforementioned student-led and community-based campaigns couldn’t be possible without MEChA. Period!
On a more personal note, I met my then-girlfriend and now-wife, Antonia Montes, through MEChA. As a wise Chicana, an educator and a fellow activist, Antonia has been instrumental in all of my organizational/activist struggles since the mid-1980s. It’s because of her that I returned to the university to pursue my master’s degree in urban planning from UCLA and doctorate in city and regional planning from UC Berkeley. As I state in my forthcoming book, Defending Latina/o Immigrant Communities: The Xenophobic Era of Trump and Beyond, for me, everything starts and ends with la familia. During the past three decades, Antonia and I have not only dedicated our lives to the well-being of our extended families, but also to the Mexican people of el norte.
I end with a loaded and clear statement: ¡Viva MEChA!
Dr. Alvaro Huerta holds a joint faculty appointment in Urban & Region Planning (URP) and Ethnic & Women’s Studies (EWS) at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Among other scholarly publications, he’s the author of Reframing the Latino Immigration Debate: Towards a Humanistic Paradigm (San Diego University Press, 2013) and forthcoming book Defending Latina/o Immigrant Communities: The Xenophobic Era of Trump and Beyond (Hamilton Books | Rowman & Littlefield, June 2019). He holds a Ph.D. in City and Regional Planning from UC Berkeley. He also holds an M.A. in Urban Planning and a B.A. in history from UCLA.
Well written, well said..Andrew Elias, MECHa 1971….
I grew up in the S. F. Bay Area. In 1969 I was 20 and experiencing an identity crisis. I was sick of the Vietnam War, rebellious about U.S. Imperialism and perpetual wars, questioning authority, tired of the racism, beginning to shed my homogenized Mexican-American pretensions in favor of something more personal, progressive, and encompassing. At the same time, MEChA orgs were sprouting up all over college campuses in California. My elders did not particularly embrace my new cultural/political/social designation, “Chicano.” On the other hand, I am afraid those who favor changing the MEChA name may be assimilationists who will dilute its purpose. This has happened in groups that have sprung up in the last few decades. Apart from bright lights like the leadership of U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez from New York’s 14th District, I haven’t seen much in the way of new Chicano progressive leaders sprouting over the last 30 years. I hope I am wrong. | 2019-04-21T18:41:07 | https://www.latinorebels.com/2019/04/05/reflectionsofamechista/ |

Build and run the attached test case. This is a tiny little console program that uses the W3 Schools' TempConvert example service.
After the first line, `p.Length` is 1.
After the second line, `p.Length` is 0.
Maybe it is not strictly true that the number of input parameters must match the number of output parameters? Or perhaps the count of input parameters is incorrect? I don't think the input parameter for this service is a `ref` parameter, so maybe the count of input parameters is meant to be 0 rather than 1? | 2019-04-25T17:50:28 | https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=32886 |

The always fabulous and witty Design Mom posted a hilarious clip this morning that had me in stitches. Given the early wake-up call today, I needed a little comic relief! Watching it was a good reminder that balance is a good thing.
I saw this last night and was totally laughing as well...I am the same way as you- organic milk, goldfish, and I am lucky if my kids eat any fruit.
I saw your posts on tangled and true last week, britt is a good friend of mine and you and I worked for a brief few weeks together at the Fashion Place Nordstrom. I remember you were recently engaged or getting married and I LOVED your ring. That was years ago...looks like much has changed for both of us. I love your blog!!

We present an approach that pursues an adequate representation of product transformation possibilities for a technology generating, in addition to marketed (good) products, some environmentally detrimental non-marketed byproducts (bad outputs). As the shadow price of a non-marketed output depends on its marginal transformation rates with marketed outputs, representation of technological relationships between different groups of outputs deserves a particular attention. We model the technology by using two functions: an input distance function describing technically feasible input-output combinations, and a hedonic output function capturing relationships among good and bad outputs. This procedure offers more appropriate consideration and modeling of the interactions between different groups of outputs. An empirical application of the approach to the case of Dutch dairy farms1 demonstrates the complexity of interactions between outputs and the value of more elaborate representations of production possibilities. The analysis indicates that nitrogen surplus abatement costs vary widely among Dutch dairy farms and that these costs have increased substantially over time.
