Small Press at Elliott Bay Book Co.
In addition to the thousands titles published by the larger publishing houses, we here at Elliott Bay are also proud to support several small publishers and self published authors from all over the world. Here are just a few of the titles that we’ve received within the last month or so.
Cloran is an old seafarer who is set to retire and finally settle down with his fiancee Adaire when his king sends him on one last mission to the far off island of Miotes. Telling himself that it’s only one last journey, Cloran gathers his shipmates and heads out on his ship Wavegazer. Unfortunately, the sea itself seems to have other plans for this captain and his crew.
This wonderfully illustrated collection of poems that poke fun at a wide range of subjects, Madan’s book is reminiscent of Dr. Seuss and Shel Silverstein. Almost every style of poem is represented here, from hilarious haiku to parodies of popular poems, The Bubble Collector is a great book to introduce children to the joys of poetry.
We are proud to present the complete catalog of titles published by The Chicago Center for Literature & Photography. Each small, hand-bound book is an original work and would make a welcome addition to any library. Topics range from travel memoir to post-apocalyptic science fiction and feature authors that I’m sure we’ll be hearing more about in the near future. | 2019-04-23T14:41:17 | https://elliottbaybooks.wordpress.com/2013/07/11/ |

The allure of industrial pieces is their celebration of raw materials and use of structure as decoration. Bolts become accents and brackets design forms. This dining table set combines metal and wood in a gorgeous display of industrial style. Slight cracks and a wood grain make all of the detailing necessary and match beautifully with the metal framework. | 2019-04-19T02:47:31 | https://www.flatfair.com/collections/dining-sets/products/furniture-of-america-meade-brown-wood-finish-5-piece-round-dining-table-set |
The 2015 Super Bowl host stadium will be powered by 100% wind energy, and is not the only stadium in the US making an example of utilising renewables. A number of sports stadiums in Australia could also utilise the technology and demonstrate a commitment to clean energy supply.
This article was originally published in Reneweconomy. It can be found here.
For those following the NFL Super Bowl in the US this weekend, here’s an interesting renewable energy factoid: both of the teams in this year’s game – the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks – have solar systems installed at their home stadiums.
And they’re not the only ones. According to new research by America’s Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), one out of every three NFL stadiums has solar.
Furthermore, the February 1st Super Bowl game – hosted by the University of Phoenix Stadium in Arizona, which happens not to have any solar installed – will be entirely powered by wind energy energy, as supplied by the publicly-owned power utility, the Salt River Project.
“Providing green energy to the game is the perfect opportunity to showcase SRP’s commitment to renewable energy,” Patty Garcia-Likens, an SRP Spokesperson, told ThinkProgress.
But the renewables cred doesn’t stop with football. The SEIA research notes that all leading sports leagues in the US, including professional baseball, basketball, hockey, soccer, NASCAR and the IndyCar Series, boast sizeable solar assets.
The biggest, a 3MW system, is hosted by the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
According to the report, all that adds up to a total cumulative solar capacity in professional sports of 21.7MW as of last year, enough to power nearly 3,000 US homes.
In Australia, the Metricon Stadium – home to the AFL’s Gold Coast Suns – was the nation’s first ‘solar stadium’, with a 600-panel system that generates around 20 per cent of the stadium’s annual energy consumption, enough to power more than 50 Queensland homes. | 2019-04-19T05:13:43 | https://yes2renewables.org/2015/02/02/a-very-solar-super-bowl-powered-100-by-wind-energy/ |

The global economy is on a growth streak that is shaping up to be the broadest and strongest expansion in more than three decades.
Rising spending and investment by consumers and businesses worldwide are boosting national economies on every continent, pushing down unemployment rates in many countries and lifting business earnings and confidence.
Of 60 nations tracked by investment firm Bridgewater Associates, not one is in recession — the first time that has been true since 1969.
Yet this is a different kind of boom from any other in the post-World War II era, analysts say. The soaring economies of China, India, Russia, Brazil and other emerging nations increasingly are setting the pace, overshadowing the slower growth of the United States, Europe and Japan, where the benefits of the expansion have eluded many workers.
"This is the first recovery where developing economies are playing a dominant role," said James Paulsen, chief strategist at Wells Capital Management in Minneapolis, which manages money for big investors such as pension funds.
The trend is being driven by free trade, which has created millions of jobs in emerging nations in recent years, fueling stunning new wealth in those countries.
This is a story not only at odds with the facts--strong US GDP growth and low unemployment--but with itself--the jobs in those developing countries consist of doing the manufacturing and other work [answering phones] we're too wealthy to do ourselves. It does though demonstrate just how powerful the End of History remains -- forcing capitalism upon such a wide array of nations -- even at a time when folks want to dismiss it.
America and China have been serving as twin engines of the global economy, helping to fuel worldwide growth of 4 percent or higher for several years straight.
Our late editor Bob Bartley used to say that critics might forgive you for being wrong, but they'll never forgive you for being right. That psychological insight may be the only way to explain the fierce and bitter opposition this week to extending the tax cuts of 2003 for another two years through 2010.
If ever there was a market test of economic policy, the last three years have been it. The stock market has recovered from its implosion in Bill Clinton's last year in office, unemployment is down to 4.7%, and growth has averaged 3.9% in the three years since those tax cuts passed--well above the post-World War II average and more than twice the growth rate in Euroland.
Realistically, the United States should be counted with the emerging economies, not the European.
"The soaring economies of China, India, Russia, Brazil and other emerging nations increasingly are setting the pace, overshadowing the slower growth of the United States, Europe and Japan..."
And with the utterly inane comparison of the "slow growth" of the US with Europe & Japan, it is officially OK to stop reading, as the writer has proven he doesn't know a thing about economics. | 2019-04-22T12:15:49 | http://brothersjuddblog.com/archives/2006/05/try_america_pow.html |
I was in NYC last week and had THE BEST time. I had the rarity of lots of free time to myself, and I took advantage of it to explore everything. I'd start at 7AM with my Blue Bottle coffee and wear myself out walking (10-15 miles a day, one of my favorite things about New York) in preparation for my daily Shake Shack lunch. :) Blake met me for the weekend and we had a whirlwind 36 hours running around with friends, picking out wedding bands (!), drinking from flaming pineapples, eating pizza in the street at 2AM, and discovering the most insanely beautiful Japanese speakeasy. So much fun.
A few highlights above from moments when I remembered to take my camera out: the observatory at the "Top of the Rock" (such a touristy thing to do but one of my favorites, I love getting aerial views of cities, and the air was so crisp up there), mornings on the High Line, walking the Brooklyn Bridge, the new Whitney Museum, and of course lots of delicious tiki drinks at Maison Premiere. I'm already looking forward to my next trip! | 2019-04-23T08:32:27 | https://oliviaraejames.com/blog/nyc |

This section examines monasteries and the religious life in Herefordshire. Although Herefordshire did not have as many monasteries as some other parts of England, they did represent a wide range of different monastic orders, including the Benedictines, Cistercians, Grandmontines and Augustinians. Pages in this section discuss the lives of monks and lay brothers under both the Saxon and the later Norman rules, the purpose of granges, and the foundation of the various religious houses in Herefordshire. There is also a guest author essay about Dore Abbey. | 2019-04-21T04:47:57 | https://htt.herefordshire.gov.uk/herefordshires-past/the-medieval-period/monasteries/ |

Maybe you'll have spotted it, maybe not... but guess what? I was in this morning's Mind Meld!
In case you weren't aware, the Mind Meld is a regular feature on the Hugo award-winning SF Signal which asks a bunch of genre fiction's best and brightest to put their heads together to answer a certain question.
In response, I wrote about "the years a friend and I spent butting heads over a couple of comic books. He was a Marvel man; me, a DC devotee. He read The X-Men; I was an unabashed Batman fan. Matter of fact, I still am, and I’d bet my last penny he’s still got the hots for Emma Frost."
As kids we were great mates, he and me. As adults, our friendship fell apart. So whether it’s Star Trek versus Star Wars or the merits of manga as opposed to anime, take heed, dear reader: at the end of the day these debates can be about the people as much as the particular properties.
Click on through, as you do, to read the rest of the Mind Meld in question, which also features Mur Lafferty, Maurice Broaddus, David Lomax and a whole load of other awesome authors. | 2019-04-23T04:16:14 | http://scotspec.blogspot.com/2014/03/the-scotsman-abroad-great-geeky-debates.html |
Von Stroheim's Wearing That Suit Again!
Good friend Mark Vieira (author of seriously gorgeous coffee table books on movie imagery) has alerted me to fact that wily Von has again been sighted in that infamous suit. Was Metro economizing, still punishing him for Greed, or was Stroheim insistent on using his own wardrobe? (note too the ubiquitous bamboo cane of numerous EvS portrait sittings) Anyway, this still’s from As You Desire Me, the year 1932, so the suit remains fresh enough, I assume. Greta Garbo is here with Von, and not unexpectedly, he’s insanely jealous in As You Desire Me as well, so quirky in scenes with stiff, conventional Melvyn Douglas as to make the latter "hate him" thereafter. A real knockdown kiss is administered when Von locks lips with GG way more enthusiastically than she likely saw coming. Her recoil ranks among best acting this actress achieved, a reaction clearly genuine. Scuttle is Garbo fled from the set in utter revulsion. Well, they told him to kiss her, and we feel yet that nasty tongue drilling in. Watch when you get a chance, and see what I mean, but wait, As You Desire me is currently withdrawn from broadcast and video availability, so for now at least, the famine is on. | 2019-04-18T13:07:44 | http://greenbriarpictureshows.blogspot.com/2006/01/von-stroheims-wearing-that-suit-again.html |

Often referred to as the toxic legacy of our digital generation, e-waste has fast emerged as one of the most pressing issues on the environmental and health front in India’s path to development. A couple of months ago, the United Nations reported an alarming statistic that the world generated 44.7 million tonnes – equivalent to the weight of 4,500 Eiffel Towers. Out of this, India’s contribution was a significant 2 million tonnes. To add to this, another disturbing fact is that 95% of this e-waste remains treated informally.
The health and environmental effects of electronic waste are well-documented with toxic metals not limited to lead, mercury, and cadmium, resulting in birth defects, brain, heart, liver, kidney and skeletal system damage. In addition to this, e-waste can cause environmental deterioration by way of air, water and soil pollution.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) defines 'e-waste' as “electrical and electronic equipment, whole or in part discarded as waste by the consumer or bulk consumer as well as rejects from manufacturing, refurbishment and repair processes.” To tackle this problem, the MoEF introduced the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in 2016, whereby the responsibility to collect and channel e-waste from consumers to authorized recycling units was placed with the electronics manufacturing companies and bulk consumers. Although e-waste management laws have been in place since 2011, firms are now required to set yearly collection targets linked to their production numbers.
In 2016 (followed by amendments in 2018), the MoEF clearly defined that the phase-wise collection targets for e-waste in weight shall be 10% of the quantity of waste generation as indicated in the EPR Plan during 2017-18, with a 10% increase every year until 2023.
After 2023, the target has been made 70% of the quantity of waste generation as indicated in the EPR Plan. This can be undertaken by way of Individual Producer Responsibility (IPR) or Collective Producer Responsibility (CPR). In case of the latter, the organization can delegate its compliance organization to a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO).
While the Government policies have been geared towards making sincere efforts to address this pertinent issue, the on-ground reality remains far from the ideal scenario. There is a severe lack of awareness among the producers and consumers, dearth of requisite infrastructure and absence of regulatory enforcement agencies.
An innovative way to look at this problem is to make a business case for it. As the basic principle of economics states, people and organizations respond to incentives. The three principles that must be adhered are those of accountability, business transformation and systems thinking.
Awareness is of utmost importance to get the ball rolling but there are several challenges faced by both producers and bulk consumers that hinder proactive participation. The large-scale producers do not wish to be the first to transform their business, while the process is plagued by the evils of corruption and malfeasance. The medium-scale and small-scale producers, on the other hand, regard e-waste as a tick box in the event of production and do not attempt to engage in the process holistically and take the effort to build awareness.
Although the informal waste pickers, aggregators and dismantlers are willing to enter the fold of formalization, the formal sector faces several challenges. These challenges range from lack of handling capacity to illegitimate facilities in the forms of multiple accounting of waste, selling to aggregators and leakages. There is sufficient evidence for a burgeoning business opportunity, creating an untapped potential for innovators to come up with unique business propositions to address this menace.
We need to develop tracking mechanisms and provide oversight of e-waste compliance, in order to ensure that the mechanism of e-waste disposal is streamlined as much as possible. While enforcement strictness is of paramount importance, it is also vital to build an incentive structure around this to ensure better complicity by the producers. This is an area where the policymakers can step in and highlight opportunities underlying this perceived compliance evil for producers.
The time is ripe for innovators to come up with propositions that bridge the gap between the compliance necessity faced by producers and the strong will of the Government to rid the toxic e-waste in a sustainable and safe manner. | 2019-04-25T17:53:51 | https://www.investindia.gov.in/team-india-blogs/e-waste-compliance-necessity-or-burgeoning-business-opportunity |

After many years of experience in the sector, we have repositioned our purpose to “designing impact” (from previous “design for impact”) as we see enough innovation and existing design solutions across India where we don’t see the need to reinvent the wheel every time. We believe the design can play a role of “facilitator” or “enabler” to solutions and can facilitate ideas or innovative tools to be more market or community ready. Hence, we rather shape or design the impact an organization or solution intends to make in our ecosystem.
The current biggest challenge our design approach is facing is not the solutions or ideas we create but how design can inspire or influence socio-cultural behavior to adopt solutions. Given the complexity and diversity of communities in India, the social problems are far more complex to be resolved. It requires a multi-disciplinary approach to ideas and to influence people to change their mind-set and behavior to scale a solution. Designing for a billion market has been one of our lessons shared here.
It is not just about social impact but also if the solution or approach is socially relevant to the target community/ audience.
Economic scalability and growth can be endless as profits and the larger inequality challenges in the world stems from the limitless idea of profits or economic growth that has negative impact on other areas (society, ecology). Sustainability of economic growth is a much needed criteria.
Ecological preservation and conservation might require a different approach, however, impact sector and commercial sector are obligated to maintain a balance of resources they extract from nature, to put it back safely. A balance of ecology is an important step to support growth and development.
With global changes in cultural practices, ideas and values, it is not just important to preserve and conserve it but also to contextualise culture for younger generations.
Humans need to increasingly assess the impact of its business, product or service. Not just on their respective “target customers” but also the environment and wider stakeholders involved in the creation, production and consumption of new ideas, products or services.
Sustainability through design in products, services, systems and how we live is the future role of design . We need to build sustainability as a way of life and not just as a tool in social, economic, cultural as much as our environment/ ecology as these four pillars are interdependent.
Sustainable businesses, communities/ cities/ regions and lifestyle can contribute to a more manageable global resources and we need to design them contextually.
Sustainability centered design looks at a paradigm shift in using design as a thinking and execution tool beyond human-centric approach. In a hyper-connected world, impact of design and innovation is not just on humans but also on larger ecosystems of economy, society, ecology and culture. We need to build in sustainability that allows a more equitable distribution of resources and opportunities for communities across regions than need more than a higher income for quality life with rights. Sustainability centered design addresses this as not just a design thinking process for solving challenges but also looking at systemic challenges.
Sustainability centred design as a process can help us design products, services or systems but to evaluate its impact and relevance, we need to measure sustainability through impact metrics. It is a tool for evaluation of an idea or solution that can be improved or innovated further when we are able to measure the impact. We view designing impact as an evaluation tool for a sustainability centred design process.
We would continue to share the impact centric design approach through our work and externally to our audience and we share our design ideology journey here. Given the current global changes, the need to look at impact of a project, sustainability centred organization or an idea is important and has an inter-connectedness effect across regions or sectors. | 2019-04-19T21:14:55 | http://collaborativec.in/why/impact-design/ |

Coldwell Banker Commercial Saunders Real Estate brokered the sale of a perpetual conservation easement on 2,526 acres along Arbuckle Creek to the state of Florida for $4.3 million. Sebring’s S.Y. Hartt & Son Inc. sold the easement to the Rural and Family Lands Protection Program. The program was created in 2001 by the Florida Legislature and is administered by the Florida Forest Service, a division of the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The program acquires perpetual conservation easements on Florida ranches and farms to protect rural and working agricultural lands that are threatened by development. Such easements allow landowners to continue to work the lands, thus keeping the property agriculturally sustainable as well as on tax rolls. “There are 760,000 acres in Florida protected by conservation easements,” said Dean Saunders of Coldwell Banker Commercial Saunders Real Estate, who brokered the sale. “This property was an ideal fit, allowing for the protection of the water and wildlife, keeping it from being developed, and protecting it for future generations. | 2019-04-24T06:22:57 | https://www.landreport.com/2016/12/historic-seminole-land-conserved/ |

Romania flag carrier TAROM has settled a complaint filed over six month ago by a disabled woman denied boarding at Sofia International airport.
Dilyana Deneva works for the Centre For Independent Living Sofia, a Bulgarian disability organization part of the European Network on Independent Living. Last February, Dilyana was all set to fly from Sofia to Dublin on business.
“On 5th February 2014 I had to travel to Dublin via Bucharest with the Romanian airlines TAROM in order to attend a very important staff meeting,” Dilyana recalls.
Dilyana purchased her ticket from a travel agent several days before the date of her trip. “At the time of booking my flights I made it clear that I’m a wheelchair user and I need assistance at the airport, and that I did not require assistance on board of the plane as I can stand up and make a few steps to my seat with the help of my mother,” the young woman said.
The airline pointed out that delivery of assistance to disabled persons depends on passengers notifying their needs at least 48 hours before their scheduled time of departure, and the transmission of this information to those involved in providing the assistance.
TAROM also said that booking agents have a vital role in this process and should receive specific training on how to seek and record this information and to ensure that it is passed on correctly. | 2019-04-19T02:56:53 | http://reducedmobility.eu/20140723491/The-News/tarom-settle-with-disabled-woman-denied-boarding.html |

The dramatic increase in the number of refugees from the Syrian Arab Republic (Syria) across the region in 2012 continues to require a large-scale response to address the needs of both refugees already present in host countries and new arrivals who continue to pour into Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq and Turkey, at a rate of up to several thousand a day. As of early December 2012, humanitarian agencies in these countries had been able to reach over 525,000 Syrian refugees. When the first Syria Regional Response Plan was published in March 2012 (and subsequently revised twice) it initially planned for some 96,500 refugees to receive assistance over a period of six months. As part of the latest revision of the Plan in September 2012, agencies appealed for a total of US$ 487.9 million to cover needs up to the end of 2012. As of 15 November, 51 per cent of this amount had been funded.
This new Regional Response Plan (RRP) takes up from where the previous one left off, setting the strategic objectives and activities for the first six months of 2013. It is based on the achievements and lessons learned from previous plans and is designed to address existing and emerging needs. Given recent trends in arrivals and registration in a context where the crisis in Syria shows no signs of abating, agencies estimate that the number of Syrian refugees may double in the coming six months, to reach 1.1 million people. For the first time, this planning figure covers refugees in Egypt, whose numbers have grown significantly over the past year, and whose assessed needs have prompted their inclusion in this RRP in a separate chapter.
While the Governments of Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey and Egypt have continued to demonstrate their commitment to giving Syrian refugees access to their territory to assure their safety and provide assistance, this generosity has undeniably come at a heavy price for the many communities welcoming the refugees, as well as for the infrastructure and resources of the countries concerned. At a time of social, political and economic upheaval in many of the host countries, further compounded by developments in Syria, this RRP aims to provide lifesaving assistance to refugees while ensuring that the cost of their welcome is not borne by the countries of asylum alone, or by the many local communities which have already shown considerable generosity despite their limited means. Ultimately, burden sharing constitutes one of the key means of maintaining the protection space refugees have been able to enjoy so far. In order to ensure an inclusive approach which does not dissociate refugees from their new environment, the response takes into consideration all those affected by the refugee influx, from third country nationals and refugees of other origins leaving Syria to vulnerable members of host communities. Moreover, the Lebanon chapter of the response now includes activities targeting Palestinians from Syria who have also been forced to flee the country where they had been settled for generations.
The ability of humanitarian agencies to respond effectively and in a timely manner, regardless of the many challenges on the ground, will depend on their close coordination, particularly in view of the disparate nature of the displacement in host countries. To this end, the current Plan brings together the coordinated efforts of over 60 international and national agencies with UNHCR continuing to lead the overall response. Together, agencies are appealing for US$ 1 billion in order to cover the protection and assistance needs of up to 1.1 million Syrian refugees in the region from 1 January until 30 June 2013. The RRP calls for the urgent demonstration of donors’ solidarity with refugees and their commitment to share the cost of their protection and well-being with the countries and peoples who are currently bearing the brunt of the influx. | 2019-04-23T02:09:23 | http://syrianmonitor.blogspot.com/2013/02/syria-regional-response-plan-january-to.html |
The Order was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin Mary, who is celebrated as ‘Our Lady of the Annunciation.’ To commemorate the ‘fifteen joys of the Virgin,’ the Order initially had fifteen Knights and fifteen Chaplains, who said fifteen masses every day; the Order’s original statutes had fifteen clauses.
The Order was reserved only for members of the nobility, who swore allegiance to their sovereign. The main rule declared all knights equal among themselves, united in a military and religious ‘fraternity.’ This is probably why the Order has only one rank. All the Knights had an equal say in the decisions concerning the admission of new members, who were elected unanimously.
At its inception, the Order had fifteen knights. In 1409, Amadeus VIII (1383-1451), Count of Savoy, later elevated to the first Duke of Savoy in 1416, gave the Order its first known statutes. In 1518, Amadeus VIII’s statutes were amended and reformed by Duke Charles III (1486-1553) who extended the Order to five more knights. Further amendments were made in 1570 by Duke Emmanuel Philibert (1528-1580), and thereafter by succeeding Grand Masters. The most recent changes were promulgated on June 11, 1985 by H.R.H. Prince Victor Emmanuel of Savoy, the current hereditary Grand Master of the Order. The head of the Royal House of Savoy continues to confer the Order, though very rarely. A recent recipient was H.S.H. the late Prince Rainier III of Monaco. The Annunziata is now bestowed only upon members of royal families and heads of state. Today, in addition to senior members of the Savoy family, its members also include H.M. the King of Spain, H.M. the King of The Belgians, and H.I.M. the Emperor of Japan.
The Order has only one rank and is limited to twenty knights. The first insignia was a goldplated silver collar with the motto, fert, inside a ring with three Savoy knots. The Order, however, has two sets of insignia, the Piccola Collana (Small Collar) and the Grande Collana (Large Collar). The primary and oldest insignia of the Annunziata is the collar. It consists of a solid gold medallion of the collar, which portrays the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Archangel Gabriel. The medallion is surrounded by three intertwined Savoy knots, decorated with small crosses fleury, and in the upper center, between two of the Savoy knots, a cluster of rays with a dove, representing the Holy Spirit, is also depicted in gold. The badge is suspended from a gold chain made up of fifteen ornate gold sections, each of which is linked by a Savoy knot. The star of the Annunziata, which was first used in 1680 is gold and also has a representation of the Annunciation in a medallion in the center which is set within a gold cross of four pommels. This is surrounded by a cluster of gold rays. | 2019-04-22T02:11:01 | https://www.savoydelegation-usa.org/supreme-order-of-the-most-holy-annunciation.html |
Stuyvesant Town residents have been wondering about the origins of a bunny that appeared in the neighborhood over the holiday weekend.
On Sunday, the critter was seen outside Ess-a-Bagel on First Avenue. One resident, Lola Franco, told Town & Village the bunny seemed fine when she went to scoop it up so she left it be, later hearing that ST/PCV Public Safety officers had managed to capture it. However, she later went back for it, concerned that the creature could end up euthanized at a shelter. She brought it home and a few hours later, her daughter, who works at the nearby ABC Animal Hospital, took the bunny to work with her for a checkup.
The following day, another resident posted on the Stuyvesant Town-Peter Cooper Village Tenants Association Facebook page about a gray and white bunny sighting at 20th Street and First Avenue. Franco said this was after the other bunny had been caught she didn’t think it was the same bunny seen by different people.
Several reported sightings over the past couple of weeks of dead and dying squirrels in Stuyvesant Town have had residents wondering what’s going on — since they clearly weren’t devoured by hawks.
One resident, Noam Freedman, said he saw a dying one near Playground 7, with his wife spotting another one behind 7 Oval. The one he saw was lying on the ground, its legs twitching.
On November 15, Freedman noted the incidents on the Tenants Association’s Facebook page. This was followed by a few more residents commenting that they’d seen dead squirrels in different areas in the complex recently.
On Friday morning, a resident of Stuyvesant Town who was out bird watching saw a form of wildlife she’d never encountered before — a skunk – by the Oval.
The resident, Anne Lazarus, said at first she thought she was looking at a large cat — possibly around two feet long including its tail – but then realized what it was as it lumbered along the walkway. Therefore, she knew not to get too close.
Upon noticing Lazarus, she said, “It raised its tail and I backed off quickly.” She then contacted a public safety and an officer who’s previously rescued animals, Patrolman Morales, responded. Armed with a bag at the end of a pole he managed to get the black and white critter inside a large container. Unfortunately, this wasn’t without getting sprayed first.
Lazarus had left the scene by that point but later heard from Morales that he’d brought the skunk to an appropriate area in upstate Kingston and released it there.
Just when you thought it was safe to unwrap your Snickers bar in Stuyvesant Town, reports have surfaced of another child getting attacked by a squirrel. Last Thursday, in its weekly newsletter to residents, StuyTown Property Services stated that a child was scratched when a squirrel leapt out of a garbage can.
Because of this, management is asking residents not to feed the local wildlife anywhere on the property. SPS also not so subtly alluded to the fact that residents have been ignoring its rule about not feeding squirrels within 50 feet of the playgrounds specifically for children’s use.
Now, along with the signs, if a resident is spotted by a public safety officer feeding the critters near any of those five children’s playgrounds, he or she will be told to stop, a spokesperson for management told us. The rep added that the scratch received by the child wasn’t serious.
On Tuesday, State Senator Brad Hoylman met his battiest constituent yet.
On Primary Day, the scores of candidates on the ballot for citywide races briefly had their thunder stolen by an injured bat and its rescuer, State Senator Brad Hoylman.
Hoylman said he found the creature, which appeared to be in distress, near a tree pit on East 10th Street.
He could see it was still alive though, albeit struggling to right itself by flapping around. The copper-colored bat, Hoylman observed, had a wingspan of about seven inches, although the body was comparatively small. It also had, tiny razor sharp teeth, “so I made sure to stay away,” he added.
Concerned that the bat might expire under the hot sun, Hoylman and Gormley got a box from a nearby restaurant, gently scooped up the bat and put it inside. They then brought it to the Wild Bird Fund, which is headquartered on the Upper West Side. | 2019-04-23T19:09:03 | https://town-village.com/category/wildlife/ |

The most basic principles of Christianity taught by Jesus The Christ apparently is much too difficult for avowed members of the Christian Right. The hate and vitriol from the Christian Right against certain members of the human race defy and rebuke many of the beliefs held by Christ.
But even when the positions conservative Christians take are not steeped in vitriol and hate, their inability to embrace Christ's basic principles seem difficult ponderous, and mysterious to them.
When this Stephen Colbert quote was posted on various Facebook pages, the outrage from the conservative right was quick and unapologetic. The venom and hate from some corners in the defense of reasons to avoid helping the poor and needy apparently stem the conservative belief that helping the poor means rewarding lazy liberals, lazy blacks, and illegal brown immigrants for their worthlessness and laziness. Poor lazy white conservatives often are excluded from this diatribe or are not deemed to be a problem.
One conservative Christian's response to the Stephen Colbert posting on Facebook, however, was absent any directed vitriol. It was a statement that had the connotative air of a question. She simply said, "That depends on what we mean by helping". Taken out of context, it is a curious comment from a professed Christian. But, in the context of the conservative brain, it was a genuine attempt to ask an honest question.
What she really wanted to know is how can conservatives help the poor without letting lazy neer-do-well liberals, blacks, and illegal immigrants steal my hard earned money. Likely, most liberal have no problems with the same question as long as it is applied to both sides of the political divide and all parts of the racial and ethnic spectrum.
America would be a better America if the Christian Right would direct as much vitriol and venom toward wealthy CEOs of greedy, job killing, union busting, low wage paying, middle class destroying, off shore banking, affordable health care denying, job outsourcing corporations that pay little or no taxes and receive more money from the public treasury than do the poor.
Our system of government assistance can be improved to curtail waste and cheating. but it will happen if and only if elected members in the Senate and the House of Representatives work on the same issues with the same intent and without the weight of political grandstanding. Welfare cheaters should be eliminated. Some are too lazy to work. Some children who grow up depending on welfare do become adults who see government assistance as an entitlement that they pass on to their children.
However, not everyone who receives public assistance in the form of federal and state dollars are lazy blacks and illegal brown immigrants. Most are white Americans. Some are lazy white conservatives on the Christian right living in states that vote for conservative Republicans--states that year in and year out receive more in federal dollars that they pay in federal taxes. Neverthess, the amount of waste received by the poor, including the needy and working class cheaters pales in comparison to the billions received by corporations who give nothing back or at best give very little back.
Jesus said that that the poor will always be with us. But did Jesus Christ place any angry conditions on helping the poor and needy? Would The Christ have problems with any of these examples of aid to the poor?
1. Giving aid to a person or to a family that finds itself in dire straits. Like the parable of the good Samaritan, isn't that the Christian thing to do?
2. Providing public assistance whose goal is to lift the spirit and physical well being of the poor and needy.
3. Offering government assistance to provide additional educational opportunity and cultural experiences that give hope and help lift poor children--red, white, yellow, black, and brown--out of poverty.
4. Providing public assistance to any segment of society that, without that assistance, would remain in dire straits.
Helping does not mean giving poor lazy people the right to feed from the public treasury to get rich or even to get along without engaging in available work. It does not mean giving money to undeserving undesirables on either side of the political divide. On the other hand we understand that no effort to contribute to the common good is totally free from pitfalls and potential abuse by the poor, the not so poor, and the very rich--abuse we all should be willilng to guard against and help eliminate.
But, as Stephen Colbert so eloquently said: "If this is going to be a Christian nation that doesn't help the poor, either we have to pretend that Jesus was just as selfish as we are, or we've got to acknowledge that He commanded us to love the poor and serve the needy without condition and then admit that we just don't want to do it". | 2019-04-18T10:31:24 | https://www.benniewiley.com/2014/05/jesus-christ-rebukes-the-christian-right.html |
In the simplest terms, a landing page isn’t any web page that a visitor can arrive on (or, you know,”land on”). Landing pages are the best way for companies to turn online visitors into leads or sales; however, while many companies use landing pages, these pages are under-utilized. Research indicates that 62 percent of these businesses use just six or fewer landing pages in their advertising strategies.
Too often, website visitors fail to convert since their click sends them to the homepage rather than a particular landing page which guides them through the sales funnel. An effective strategy can improve conversions by 48 per cent or more. Do not get left behind. This is why every modern marketer needs to incorporate landing pages into their digital marketing plan. Conversions – Your website exists to provide users with an engaging and tailored experience since it’s those experiences that lead to sales. Landing pages are the bread and butter of website endings. When people receive targeted content, they’re more inclined to take the next step, such as filling out a contact form or purchasing a product. Lead generation – Nothing leaves collecting online leads simpler than landing pages on your own website. Links that are dispersed through different channels such as social websites, email, and search traffic are lost to your website’s homepage. Reclaim those misplaced leads by steering visitors to your landing pages. Do you remember? If you rank high, you convert high. The first five search results account for 67.6 percent of all clicks, whereas positions six through 10 accounts for only 3.73 percent. It is worth it to be in the top. Literally. Collect demographic information – When a lead becomes a conversion, then you receive valuable information about who’s visiting your site. That information allows you to target your audience at a more direct and effective manner. Content to match with advertising features – Marketing offers may have a hard time finding a house in your website. Offers seek to incentivize users to purchase your service or product. So naturally, the ideal place to put them is with pages created to convert. If you are searching to create more prospects, rank high in search, score more conversions, pinpoint your demographic, and boost the effectiveness of your advertising provides, then it’s time to come up with a killer landing page strategy.

I was asked to make a lovey blanket, about half the size of a regular baby blanket. She wanted it for her little one to be able to carry around, without tripping over, or so big it dragged all over the ground.
Thanksgiving is a time to be thankful..
If you know me at all, you know I love Christmas. I love Christmas so much that I tend to get so excited for it, and phase over Thanksgiving. I do this, but in all reality, I have a great deal to be thankful for.
I have a big MOMMY FAIL to admit. I'm sure I'm not the only one out there. I can't be. The teacher in me is surprised at myself actually. But here it is.
Crochet Tiger Hat Pattern - FREE!!!
If you have a preschooler, you have probably heard of the infamous Daniel Tiger. I have to admit, it's actually a really cute show. The song is catchy, and an homage to the well loved "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood." There are not many patterns out there for this adorable character so I decided to make one up on my own.
Are you trying to find a new sitter? Are you trying to figure out some good questions to ask? Everybody's situation is always a little different but maybe my questions will help you out.
My 21 month old son was sick last week. He had a low fever the first 3 days of which I really didn't even notice unless I was hugging him because his body was so HOT. He acted fine though! He was running around and eating like nothing was wrong. I called and the nurse line at the doctors office and they said to call back in a few days if he still has it. The nurse just said he was fighting something off and it's body is doing what it needs to. I could give a little tylenol or ibuprofen to help the fever, but there wasn't any concern at all.
How cute is this little unicorn? I had a customer ask me if I could make one for her and she showed me a few pictures of what she was looking for. She wanted something small enough to go on top of a diaper cake, but still big enough for a baby to grow and cuddle with. This is what I came up with. I don't often share patterns like this for free, but it's just so cute that I wanted everyone else to enjoy in the magic of this Unicorn! So here's my FREE Crocheted Unicorn Pattern. If you would like to buy this already made you can here at MY STORE.
I love watching Shark Tank. It's a great show. I always tend to put myself in the seats of the judges. Would I bite on that business or not? There are definitely some that make me wonder how they even got on the show though. Like the other day I saw one with a fake phone. They said its the Pet Rock of our time. I mean really? Mostly, though, I'm sitting there thinking, "Why didn't I think of that?", or " What can I create?" These entrepreneurs just found a problem, and solved it with new items.
I love these crochet memes. I'm just going to leave them right here so you can enjoy them all as well!
In a previous post I talked about our decision of trying to cut out as much sugar as possible from our diets. One of our favorite meals has been Nachos. We don't look at the calories anymore, just the sugar intake. You can purchase all these ingredients with no sugar, you just have to look. I can buy all this stuff at our local grocery store, but if for some reason you cant, then any of the "organic" type stores (Lucky's, Trader Joes, etc..) should have them. Even my extremely picky 7 year old loves this meal!
Proud Mama: No more pull-ups!
I'm pretty laid back when it comes to potty training. At least I have been with my middle child, Lilly. I had my third baby when she was 2.5 so although it would have been nice to have her in underwear, I really did not have the time, or energy, to get her potty trained.
We tried here and there at first, and she kept having accidents. Finally, she was pretty much potty trained soon after she turned 3, and was entering school. From day 1 at school, she was in underwear. The teachers were fine with it which was great. She had a few weeks where she had a couple of accidents, but soon we were finally there.
A while ago, my husband and I went to see Kevin Smith at a comedy show. He was there to make people laugh, of course, but surprisingly, he also made people think about their health. He took us on his journey of weight loss. I don't know if you've noticed, but he has lost quite a bit of weight! It was pretty simple how he did it too. He stopped eating sugar. That's it. Taking sugar out of his diet made him a healthier, leaner person.
Being a stay at home mom is great! I love being with my babies, and being able to take care of all of the family stuff.
I try to help make a little money any way I can to help out. I'm pretty busy throughout the day with one thing or another, so I needed to find something that I can pick up at any time of the day to work on. I have my crocheting business, but sometimes, when it's slower, I wanted to have something else that I could do.
FREE Mickey Mouse Glove Applique Crochet Pattern!!
Recently, I've been making different characters into Easter/Halloween baskets. I have an order for a Mickey Mouse one and I wanted to add some gloves to it. I went to look for a basic pattern to guide me, but there were no patterns for crocheted Mickey Mouse glove appliques. So I decided to whip some up and post the free pattern here for anyone else who may need some! Enjoy!
I feel like I should be playing Eminem's "Cleaning Out My Closet" as I write this.
I think that song would be too short for how long this took though. SO, as I mentioned in a previous post, I bought a lot of overstock on bathroom items at a closing grocery store the other day.
The problem, though, is that I didn't have any space for them!
We have a grocery store in our area called Marsh. It is by far the least shopped at store, and surprisingly we had two in our town. Kroger, Target, Walmart, and the plethora of whole food type stores definitely have covered the grocery market in our town. Why we had two Marshes is beyond me. Not surprisingly, one of them recently announced that they were going to close down, and all of a sudden, the parking lot was packed!!
On my way to becoming a teacher again!
I passed my Teacher exams!!
I love to crochet. Obviously, I am The Crocheting Mom after all! Up until recently though, I've gotten my patterns from other people. Then I started to figure out my own way to make things, but never really wrote it down. I've had people ask me before for my patterns, but they were written in scribbles, or my notes on the computer, in a sequence that only I would be able to understand. Until now. These past few months I've started to create my own patterns.
For me, having one baby was easy. Then, the transition from one child to two children was also extremely do-able. So, I figured, adding one more to the mix would be a breeze!
Boy was I in for a wake up call when I had my third!!!!
There are a lot of reasons you may need to make a pom pom. They are cute accessories you can add to any craft project that you may be doing. I make them often with my crochet projects. Here are a few of my items that I have added pom poms to.
Notice that there are all different sizes though. I have a couple of different ways in which I go about making these pom poms that can create different styles and sizes. | 2019-04-26T01:47:32 | http://www.thecrochetingmom.com/2016/ |
Canadian research ethics: Caught in a quagmire of privacy legislation?
This article, from the National Post (September 24) revisits, again, the cry from researchers that overzealous privacy legislation, at both federal and provincial levels, are preventing researchers from accessing individuals and databases. This quick overview of an article originally in the Canadian Journal of Public Health (July- August 2008, A. Harris et al) illuminates two important points that researchers and REBs continue to agonize over.
First, privacy legislation is making it difficult, if not impossible to access data that previously was available to researchers, even anonymized data stripped of all possible identifiers.
Second, and most importantly, the privacy legislation is difficult for many to understand and therefore, is applied and interpreted very differently by different agencies, data stewards and, I would add, REBs and researchers, who are obligated to understand the legislation as applied to specific situations, agencies, information across a variety of contexts.
True enough, the legislation is more than difficult for even smart people to interpret. The “basic reader” on Canadian privacy laws published by the Canadian government that I keep on my desk is thick and heavy with enough very small print to make it a daunting task to try to find an answer to the simplest question. It makes a great paperweight but is not overly helpful in my own interpretation and application of the Acts.
According to the Canadian government, Canada has the most comprehensive privacy legislation in the world. Few would argue with that. At a federal level, there is PIPEDA and the Privacy Act. In addition, provinces and territories have their own privacy legislation statutes, and even the most educated persons are not always quite sure whether federal legislation trumps provincial or vice versa, on an ad hoc basis.
Ontario, interestingly enough, has both PHIPA (The Personal Health Information Protection Act) and FIPPA (The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act). PHIPA allows for the protection of the privacy of persons and the confidentiality of their personal health information. FIPPA is designed in part to protect individuals’ identifiable information held by institutions, guide institutions on how to handle information and allow individuals access to the information that an institution holds about them.
Most REBs in Ontario are involved with applying both PHIPA and FIPPA when reviewing researchers’ plans on accessing personal data and health information. Most researchers have to work within the constraints of FIPPA and/or PHIPA to access individuals and information. But it is a laborious task for all concerned. And many people aren’t even sure which act is which if they aren’t engaged with privacy issues on a daily basis.
I was also amused to find that while everyone refers to FIPPA phonetically, some also pronounce the acronym for the Personal Health Information Act (PHIPA) exactly the same, correctly pronouncing the “ph” as a “f”. Yet more confusion, no doubt, probably quite unknowingly, in many conversations….
While there are certainly clear distinctions between the Privacy Act, PIPEDA, PHIPA, FIPPA and other provincial statutes, it remains that the legislation created with the laudable aim of protecting Canadian citizens is unclear, the separate Acts can be difficult for both lay persons and academics to untangle and many institutions and agencies are either not applying the Acts at all, or interpreting and thereby applying them in an incorrect way. The valuable objectives and good intentions of protecting private information and those most vulnerable to a breach in privacy are obscured against a backdrop of confusion and a lack of guidance and clarity by governing bodies. | 2019-04-23T14:43:00 | https://researchethicsblog.com/2008/10/07/canadian-research-ethics-caught-in-a-quagmire-of-privacy-legislation/ |
At the Dreamforce 2015 conference, cloud-based CRM provider Salesforce built on its key innovations from last year, with improvements to its development platform, Lightning, and its analytics offering, Wave. With its upgrades, Salesforce has continued to focus on personalizing customer experiences, making data actionable and democratizing the application experience for business users.
Salesforce built on these upgrades with enhancements to existing offerings, such as the Sales and Service Clouds, as well as with new service offerings at the Dreamforce 2015 conference. Announced at the show was Salesforce's foray into the Internet of Things -- the IoT Cloud -- which enables companies to take the massive streams of data coming from products, ingest that data into the Salesforce platform and generate actions based on the data in real time. Wind turbines could adjust their behavior based on weather or delayed passengers with airline connections could be rebooked while they are still in flight. The IoT Cloud is powered by Thunder, a sister development platform to Lightning, under the hood.
The IoT Cloud also reflects Salesforce's further entrenchment in its ecosystem. Microsoft, for example, is using the cloud to capture data on Office 365 usage, Microsoft's productivity and collaboration platform. Salesforce in turn is tapping into Microsoft's Azure for scalability given the massive volumes of data, then sending the data to Salesforce applications.
Users responded to the offerings at the Dreamforce show with piqued interest -- and some caution. Users are generally enthused by the enhancements to Lightning, which they said has made Salesforce applications' UI far more user-friendly.
The Health Cloud, which Salesforce announced on the eve of Dreamforce, targets the healthcare industry and aims to bring siloed patient data together to improve patient relationships. However, the Health Cloud is ambitious in scope, promising to stitch together data from legacy healthcare systems. But this kind of data integration has been a bugbear even in industries in which CRM systems are well-entrenched, such as retail, so healthcare may pose an even steeper challenge.
Wave, the Salesforce Analytics Cloud, still needs to establish its street cred among a wider base of users. While some companies welcome its business-friendly data visualization features and speed of implementation, many others are still heavily invested in other analytics tools and need to figure out where Wave fits in to their plans.
Finally, the IoT Cloud presents opportunities to corral and digest massive volumes of product and customer data, but it's a major undertaking that will take infrastructure and other adjustments for many companies.
Ultimately, Salesforce's moves at Dreamforce 2015 signal that the cloud-based CRM provider is moving well beyond its roots, though CRM remains at the core. Time will tell whether this expansion bolsters its foundation or extends CRM too far afield.
For more Dreamforce conference news and trends, check out our roundup below.
The Dreamforce 2015 conference was marked by Salesforce's commitment to tackling new industries with offerings including the IoT and Health Clouds but also by customer re-evaluation of older services. A year after their releases at Dreamforce 2014, Salesforce's Analytics Cloud, known as Wave, and its application-development platform, Lightning, still face adoption challenges among users. The conference also signaled the start of a deeper relationship between Salesforce and Microsoft, which could open doors for the IoT Cloud.
From the Internet of Things (IoT) to data analytics and creating their own applications, Salesforce customers had a lot to talk about at the Dreamforce 2015 conference. Salesforce's new IoT Cloud was a hot topic at the show as users explored whether the platform, which aims to connect billions of data points from many different Web-connected devices, made sense for their businesses. One year after their release at last year's conference, Wave, or the Analytics Cloud, and the app-creation platform Lightning got upgrades in advance of this year's show and were met with some mixed reactions. Companies also shared their stories of how overcoming data challenges and moving to the cloud helped streamline their business processes. | 2019-04-24T04:00:05 | https://searchcustomerexperience.techtarget.com/conference/Dreamforce-2015-conference-coverage |

LAZ wrote: Meanwhile, I have detailed my experiences in making waderoberts' hominy casserole here. If you tried this dish, I'm curious to know what you thought of it. (Be honest. While I believe I executed it well, I don't have anything personal vested in the recipe and Wade doesn't seem to have posted here in over a year.) If you didn't try it, why not? And if there's anyone out there who's tried a hominy casserole before, how did this one compare?
Looked great, tasted...not so great. The Cheez Whiz was tough to take. I could not, however, imagine a better execution.
figmolly wrote: I really enjoyed the dish I prepared too (is it too gauche to label it a favorite?). Having never cooked green mangos before I was skeptical leaving the skin on, but they proved delicious and almost more vegetable like. Thanks, sazerac!
How could it be gauche to praise sazerac's recipe? Although I'm sure the execution in your skilled hands was as good as it could be. It was a great dish.
Looking back at sazerac's pronunciation, I can see one of the things that might have attracted you to the recipe.
Was it difficult to make? And would you ever use a dish like that as part of your catering repertoire?
It was actually very easy to make and I will definitely make it again for home and possibly catering. I didn't love the presentation and would probably cook the fish seperately so it didn't fall apart as much (for catering; at home I don't care as much about presentation). sazerac mentions an alternative version where the turmeric is sprinkled on the fish which is fried and added to the sauce. I may try that. I will also add a little more heat next time...I made it after the dip and I didn't want to be known as the Hot Queen so I kept it tame.
Aaaah, the dip. I tripled GWiv's recipe and started with 25 whole steamed jalapenos and 1 steamed habanero. I steamed the peppers and garlic in aluminum foil in a 325 oven (lower than I would go for roasting) until they were soft but not browned. I cut the stems off of the peppers, but didn't remove the seeds. It doesn't give any indication in the recipe that this should be done, but my dip was super spicy even with only one habanero (and no fresh). I did add about a teaspoon of fresh garlic and a few extra soda crackers and olive oil to try to tame the heat (if I had more feta I would have doubled the other ingredients without adding more peppers). I really loved the flavor and it actually tamed with chilling and the fresh veggies - still I could only eat a small amount. Just made guacamole yesterday and didn't have fresh jalapenos so he added a touch of the dip and it spiced it up nicely.
It was fun making Trixie Pea's Mac N Cheese for the potluck. I had tasted this recipe before and had actually watched her make it once at my house. I had been looking for a chance to put my own spin on the dish, and this turned out to be the perfect opportunity. I didn't really change the basic recipe all that much because it's pretty dammed good as it is, but I've never followed a recipe to the letter in my life, so I had to change up something. I doubled the recipe that she posted on LTH. In addition, I added some ground mustard, halved serranos and tomato paste to the roux before making the bechamel sauce. I later removed the serranos before adding the cheese to the finished bechamel. I ended up using 5 different cheeses; Fontina, Aged Reserve Gruyere, 5 year aged English cheddar, a mild bleu and some Parmigiano Reggiano mixed in with the panko on top. This was by far the richest (and most expensive) mac N cheese I have ever made. About the only things I would do differently next time is to maybe use a little more tomato paste than I did to give the cheese sauce a richer color (or use an orange cheddar) and I'd probably mix the panko with a bit of melted butter or truffle oil before topping the dish for better browning. I hope everyone enjoyed the dish. There wasn't much left at the end, so that's a good sign.
Sunday was just great. Due to WBBM's traffic lies and my precautions, I arrived awfully early and found very little to set up. I have to start by thanking Molly and Justin for being excellent hosts. They got everything organized and remained helpful from start to finish - providing a utensil or pointing people to supplies they needed with patience, graciousness and aplomb. I think they got a kick out of everyone coming to their place for a change.
This was my second LTH event, but I found everyone as friendly and delightful to talk to as I've read. Conversation ranged from proper internal use of drain cleaner, to lost cities in distant lands to the social skeleton key that is the 40 Year Old Virgin.
That said, there was much memorable food. My eating was divided unintentionally to three courses. Salads, appetizers and meats from around the world.
Two memorable tastes from each one: As others have said, Ramon's goi ga (a la jygach) was a refreshing blend of of flavors and textures. Despite her claims, I don't think a culinary mishap got anywhere near that dish. I also very much enjoyed the Terrasinis' spicy pickle. I heard that Mrs. Terrasini dialed back the spice for the masses. Well, let loose the hounds! I would certainly like to taste the uncensored version.
Wustlmike's olive oil flatbreads and the Giles's sardine dip married nicely. I returned for 2nds on the eatchicago-inspired pissaladiere tarts as prepared by KennyZ. And if he truly made the puff pastry as he intended, my awe in addition to my kudos.
Meats of the world yielded, among other fine contenders, Cathy2's preparation of extramsg's brined pastrami. As I showed pictures in this thread to my foodie Boston friend Abby, she immediately eyed the pastrami. "That looks great!" she wrote. It was, Abby. It was. And the piquant bites I had of JoelF's nuea naam tok as turned out by thaiobessed were a great pleasure indeed.
I realize that I forgot to add a starch plate. Or a Nubian plate. Sadly, there were many dishes I lacked the capacity (fortitude?) to try.
And for the desserts, I find myself echoing others' - Kennyz's herby fire-mint-chip ice cream made the mint chocolate chip I enjoyed as a youngster seem like a silly childish thing. Although I cannot remember if it was ultimately sorrel or another herb that finally made it in. Also, I greatly enjoyed Cookie Monster's prep of Bruce's butter cookie dough cobbler. Then again, I'm liable to go Manchurian Candidate for some stewed fruit and a crumble topping.
More than anything else, I loved being a part of such a large-scale, cooking-focused endeavor. With so many people excited to cook and serve others, dozens of hands darting this way and that to stir a pot or plate a dish, my foodie-predilections felt right at home rather than the fringes they normally occupy. It was just enriching to be in the mix with other like-minded cooks and eaters. And that was what I'll remember best.
Of course, many thanks to all the people who made this possible - especially the organizers and the hosts.
I look forward to the picnic with great anticipation.

I have to admit that I was not as fond of the radish dish as some other LTH'ers. I kept playing with it to evoke either the intense freshness and spicy undertones of raw radishes or a more flavorful cooked variety. I tried adding sauteed shallots and some fresh thyme, but do not think this greatly changed the taste all that much. The addition of the radish greens were a riff on the suggested variation of watercress in the posted recipe. I had so many lovely greens that it seemed a shame to go out and buy watercress. In retrospect, I might have added more. Some of you may have been wondering about the bread I served underneath it. I was trying to evoke the open-faced sandwich that I believe many of us have enjoyed. I intended to toast the rye bread into croutons, which I think might have been better than the sop the fresh bread became. But those are some deliciously 'enriched' slices of bread that I brought home with me, buttery with some radishy-notes.
One technical note. In order to avoid overcooking them, I cooked the radishes in three different groups based on size and stopped the cooking when each was done. This might be impractical in smaller batches, but I think it helped to preserve some texture.
I found the Derby Day salad straightforward to prepare. I think that the largest possible platter to avoid too much mounding of the lettuce is ideal for service. Or perhaps I put out a bit too much lettuce. I found that most of the flavorful toppings disappeared faster than the greens themselves. Maybe I should have upped the ratios there. As LAZ mentioned, I found the pecans a little vexing. I have never candied anything before, but I am pretty sure that even this dialed-down version could have turned out better. Not much of the sugar and butter really clung to the pecans. I think that perhaps melting the butter in a smaller pan and whisking to incorporate the sugars and white pepper before pouring over the pecans might work better in the future.
Of course, the star of this dish was the dressing itself. I chose this recipe to showcase in-season strawberries and was somewhat uneasy with the choice of bourbon as a flavoring agent. I have had it in some sweets but seldom in other applications. Well, the worries were gone with first taste. What a wonderful dressing this was. I did dial back on the lemons and increased the booze a bit as LAZ pondered doing in the original thread. It was probably closer to 3/4 of a cup of lemon juice and 1/3 or more of a cup of bourbon. I also did not measure the olive oil very carefully, but I think it was less than 2 cups. I just started whisking the non-oil ingredients and adding the light olive oil slowly until a rich emulsion had formed. Maybe call it 1 2/3 cups. Because of the addition of the mustard and honey, I found that this kept emulsified in the fridge very well. It was still integrated by the time I had poured it at the party despite being made some hours in advance.
So that's my cook's take on this little experiment. I really enjoy reading people's account so how the cooking went so do post about your experience!
Perhaps you started with bigger heads of lettuce than I used for the original salad. I probably should have given the measurement in cupfuls of greens for more accuracy -- but since I didn't measure them, this would have been difficult! The bibb lettuce I used was about 4 inches in diameter.

Ah, I thought your version had a bit more bite -- I imagine that was the reduced proportion of oil rather than the higher level of bourbon. I typically use a standard 1 part acid to 2 parts oil for vinaigrettes, and I don't bother with whisking but just pour everything into a jar and shake it up.
Thanks so much for trying my recipe. It's so fascinating how different cooks can start with the same recipe and end up with varied results because of different methods and equipment, variations in ingredients and so on, not to mention different tastes, even in a simple dish like this one. We touched on that in this thread.
You have to wonder how large restaurants manage to come up with consistent results when they have so many different cooks.
Perhaps it would be fun sometime to do an experiment in which a group of us all make the same recipe and then we compare the final dishes.

Sounds like a great idea to me. When/Where?
nr706 wrote: Sounds like a great idea to me. When/Where?
Maybe it would be better to figure out the recipe, first?
One criterion I can see is that it should be a dish any competent cook can make, rather than something that requires a lot of practice to get right (e.g. barbecue). Ideally it should be something that can be served cold or at room temperature, so the venue needn't have a kitchen.
And perhaps it ought to be part of another event, so that the prospect of a large quantity of something all the same doesn't seem so boring!
My original, inadvertent experiment of this nature was with cookies.
I enjoyed making Bridgestone's Christmas Meatballs, as I have been somewhat obsessed with charcuterie over the past few years. This was an interesting project for me because even though my wife is of Swedish descent, not very many family recipes from the 'old country' seem to have made it the present.
The wife enjoyed the meatballs (they reminded her of stuff her grandmother used to make for her when she was little) and I received several positive comments about them, including 'exemplary' and 'textbook.' I personally prefer a spicier, more aggressively seasoned rendition but that's just not the nature of the Swedish meatball. These were subtle and aromatic, with faint but distinctive notes of freshly-ground clove and allspice. Because I knew I'd be re-heating this batch, I felt like they needed a sauce, so I created one with the pan drippings that were rendered after I fried the meatballs, by creating a roux in the pan and adding beef stock to it. I also re-emphasized the clove and allspice in the sauce and then ran it all through a chinoise. Thinking about it now, some thinly sliced, sauteed mushrooms would have been a nice addition to the sauce, too.
The very best thing about the meatballs was that they were remarkably tender. This was mainly a function of triple-grinding the meat, something that the sagacious Bridgestone advised in his recipe. It had a huge impact on the final product's texture, which was soft and delicate, and I definitely plan to apply the technique to future projects. The one downside of this tenderness was that, before cooking, the meatballs were difficult to keep spherical. As we rolled them and aggregated them for frying, they tended to develop some flat edges. This might have been exacerbated by my adding too much stock to the breadcrumbs that went into the balls. I'm not 100% sure.
In any event, based on the results, the feedback I received and the fact that the entire pan of meatballs was all but polished off, I'd pretty much call the endeavor a rousing success.
It was great meeting everyone at the potluck.
There were many outstanding dishes. I have been obsessing about YourPalWill's Cochinitia Pibil (made by aschie) since I put the first bite of it in my mouth. So...today I found myself at Tony's buying habanero chiles, banana leaves, achiote and five pounds of pork shoulder. I post on the results after Sat.
I also made Ramon's chicken salad (made by jygach) the night after the potluck.
I think next up will be KennyZ's mint ice cream.
JoelF's Thai Beef Salad (Neua nom tok) was a cinch to make. I grilled the skirt steak to medium rare (I'd probably go rarer next time--it "cooked" a bit in the dressing. I stay pretty true to the recipe (tho I added a handful of mint). I'll definitely be making this again over the summer (Thanks for the recipe JoelF if you're out there).
• Instead of using white sugar, I decided to use palm sugar which, I thought, would give the dressing more depth of flavor. However, my package of palm sugar appeared to have found an undiscoverable hiding spot in my cabinet. As a substitute, I used a combination of white sugar and turbinado sugar.
• Instead of all Napa, I used a combination of Napa cabbage and red cabbage for a crunchier texture.
Others asked me to share my culinary mishaps with the Red Velvet Cake. So, in the spirit of bringing it all to the table for my LTH friends, here are my mishaps and misfortunes with dessert.
The LTH recipe for Red Velvet Cake linked to two recipes. The first used a bottle of red dye. The second used pureed red beets. I elected to go with the beet version as I had no desire to ingest dyes. Since this was a Southern cake I felt it warranted dipping into my store of White Lily flour milled in the South. This recipe not only used beets, but also had melted chocolate in addition to the cocoa. The cake batter had no hint of red but, as they say, the proof is in the baking. Sadly, 35 minutes of baking did nothing to enhance the color. It looked like a basic chocolate cake. At this point it was 1:00 am and my bed was calling.
The next morning all that remained for me to do was to whip up a cream cheese frosting and slap it onto my nine-inch cake layers. I turned to the internet and picked a cream cheese frosting recipe under the mistaken impression that they were all pretty much the same. This recipe used three ingredients – cream cheese, butter, and confectioners’ sugar. Three ingredients that, despite my efforts at stirring, whipping, begging, and praying, refused to come together to form a frosting. “Perhaps it will firm up once it’s on the cake,” I hoped, as I attempted to spread this mixture on the cake. It did not, and just kept slithering down the sides of the cake and pooling onto the parchment strips I was using to keep my serving platter pristine. After ten minutes of spreading and then watching the slip sliding I accepted this cake as a lost cause and skimmed through the recipes to find a different dessert.
Staying with the chocolate theme, I selected Super Chocolate Brownies as per the recipe posted by tcdup.
I quickly mixed together two batches and heaved a sigh of relief when they emerged looking dark and shiny. After they cooled, I cut them into squares and placed each batch on a plate. As I was wrapping the plates with foil, one plate slid out of my hands and I watched in horror as one batch of brownies lay on the floor in tiny pieces! It looked like we would have only one batch of brownies instead of two - not the end of the world.
At 3:00 p.m. I packed the food, took it to the car and drove off to pick up Cynthia. I was sharing my kitchen disasters with her when, to my utter dismay and horror, I saw the second plate of brownies slide from their safely ensconced position and land upside down onto the floor of the car in, you guessed it, small pieces. Cynthia helped me salvage a few pieces but clearly this was not an appealing pile of brownies!
You decide – just culinary mishaps or evil spirits.
BTW the brownies were indeed super!
Apparently, several of us had our tribulations.

Was this recipe as much work as it looked like? It was wonderful, but it looked like it took loads of chopping.

I do hope so. I was there, and I'm still eager to see the photos. Perhaps all the photographers are just taking extra care with their processing.
And here's the menu-related portion of the playlist of food tunes. I tried to have a song for every dish, but a few of the latecomers aren't represented.
I wish I'd done a better job of photographing the food but between the setting-up, the food prep and the eating, some stuff slipped through the cracks. I'm sorry that there are gaps in the coverage (including the dishes I made ) but I think this is a fair representation of the spread. Again, I'm sorry if I left anyone's dishes out . . .

Lovely, Ron, thanks. Gorgeous photos of great-looking food!
If we ever do this again, we should have a photography station.
WOW. what an amazing array of food.
Nice pictures Ronnie! I'm impressed that you were able to get as many of the dishes as you did. There was so much going on, my camera sat in its case for the entire event.
And, on a slightly egocentric note, it looks like Gary nailed his batch of "laxpudding", too! I positively couldn't have done better myself.

He indeed did nail it, and it was sensational.
And I'm embarrassed to admit that I'd missed your informative and generous review of your meatball making experiences, ronnie. Thank you very much!
Don't know if I missed it, but did figmolly post a recipe for those wonderful chocolate truffles she served as a mignardize? I went through all the pages of this thread, plus LAZ's amazing recipe index, and I couldn't find anything. Of course, being as she's in catering, it might be a trade secret, and I'd understand. But I didn't want to miss out on it if it was simply an oversight.
High praise indeed, though it is mainly due to your delicious recipe and recipe writing skill. On a slightly egocentric note of my own, I'd like to point out that Ron's terrific picture, among many, is a pre decorated Laxpudding, I went total Martha Stewart on its a**.
This was a wonderful event, thanks again to LAZ, Cathy2, The Figs, LTHers who came to the event, delicious dishes in hand, and all who have contributed to the recipe index.

Melt 5 oz. of semi sweet chocolate, unsweetened chocolate, butter and whipping cream over low in a heavy bottomed saucepan and mix until chocolate is melted (it's not neccesary to do this in a double boiler because of the butter and cream, but you do need to watch it carefully). Remove from heat and add liqueur, mix well. Pour into a dish about 1" deep (I use a 9x13 casserole).
Chill in the fridge until hard (I usually do this overnight). In the morning remove from fridge and let sit out about 5 minutes (will vary depending on temperature - you just want the chocolate scoopable). With a melon baller and cup of cold water, make chocolate balls dipping in water between every other one (I usually find dipping it between every one makes it too wet). Place on a sheet pan back in the fridge or freezer.
Temper the remaining semi-sweet chocolate (there are some instructions here). Dip each truffle in chocolate and place on a clean sheet pan. Decorate with a candied fennel seed.
Chocolate note: I used Callebaut chocolate pistils for the semi-sweet and Sharffenberger unsweetened.
Thanks, Molly. That Sambuca made a good truffle quite remarkable.
I was sorry to miss the potluck (was out of town), but I learned from Cathy2 at the Sun Wah pig roast that my recipe put in an appearance for me. I’m pleased that my hazelnut torte was baked by justjoan. (Too bad you couldn’t be there, jj.) Looking at Ronnie S’s picture of it, I’m curious what changes you made in it. It looks way jazzier than my version, which I usually serve rather haphazardly coated with whipped cream.

A lot of people living in North America don’t know much about the history of the mattress in the USA, but its invention was something that helped to dramatically prolong the lifespan of early humans. The reality is that once you start sleeping on a raised surface, you reduce your exposure to drafts, pests, and damp. Some of the earliest ones we know about constituted nothing more than a bed of leaves or straw overlayed with animal skin. There are many resources you can avail of online that can teach you more about the history of the bed. One of the main reasons you need to know about its history is so you can fully appreciate the plethora of choices the average US consumer now has to contend with when it comes to buying a new mattress for their bed.
Memory foam mattresses, for example, have started to become increasingly popular in recent decades. These types of bed toppers mold to the shape of the person sleeping on them and help to support all joints in the body. Perhaps one of the main disadvantages of earlier memory foam mattresses, however, was that they were made from synthetic materials, which promoted sweating. Nobody wants to sweat while they’re sleeping. Not only does sweat seeping into a mattress lead to an unhygienic sleeping surface, waking up in soaked PJs can be somewhat alarming and unpleasant. Fortunately, memory foam mattresses manufactures have started using more inventive materials to increase the breathability of their products and thus reduce moisture buildup.
Pillowtop hypoallergenic mattresses are also now very popular. These ones can be very expensive, so more people are opting to buy protectors to prolong the lifespan of their investments. While everyone wants a luxurious sleeping surface every night, people aren’t generally ATMs, so they have to operate within certain budget constraints. I always recommend to look at this website and save a few bucks on your purchase. Remember, coupon website are awesome resource.
In addition to the improvements in bed engineering, manufacturers have also been coming up with entirely new bed designs. Did you know that it is now possible to buy waterbeds? What’s more, if you have enough money, you can turn your waterbed into a fish tank for tropical fish. Having such a feature in your bedroom really can bring your home into the space age. Of course, it’s important to research the disadvantages of water beds. For starters, you need to think about how a puncture could compromise your home insurance. If you have any pets with sharp claws, the prospect of a waterbed is obviously unrealistic.
At the beginning of this article, we talked briefly about why the history of the bed in the USA is important, but it’s also equally important to be concerned about its future. Despite previously unimaginable advances in mattress engineering, there are still many people who suffer from back pain and disrupted sleep due to their beds. This means we all also need to focus on the future of bed technology. | 2019-04-20T02:55:38 | http://www.rizeofthefenix.com/why-the-the-history-of-the-mattress-discounts-in-usa-matters/ |
Lay Lake is changing day by day as storms passed through the area earlier in the week, making fishing tough. When the dust settled after Thursday’s weigh-in, JP Kimbrough and Jared Rascoe of Louisiana State University-Shreveport took the lead with 17 pounds, 1 ounce, on the first day of the Carhartt Bassmaster College Series Wild Card presented by Bass Pro Shops.
Intense rains earlier in the week brought dirty, rising water into the Coosa River, which made Lay Lake stingier than teams expected, but with Thursday’s change it seemed to help Kimbrough and Rascoe’s bite.
Although muddy water hurt much of the field, it didn’t seem to impact the early fishing as many teams came across the stage and echoed sentiments of a productive morning bite. The LSU-Shreveport teammates capitalized on an early start time.
Pressure on a fishery can impact the bite negatively, but the duo believes they didn’t work their areas enough to impact their chance of success Friday.
Kimbrough and Rascoe brought four largemouth and one spotted bass to the scales Thursday.
They carry a 2-6 lead over Wallace State-Hanceville’s Joshua Butts and Reid Connor, who had four spotted bass and one largemouth to complete their 14-11 weight total.
Although the fisheries are more than a two-hour drive apart, Butts compares Coosa River spotted bass to how largemouth act around bridges on Lake Guntersville.
Although they trail by more than 2 pounds, consistency will be important on a changing fishery like Lay Lake. Largemouth can be here one day and gone the next, but they are the bigger game changers most teams are searching for.
The third-place team of Josh Oliver and Dalton Childers of Auburn University landed 14-6 and are just 5 ounces from second place in the event.
West Virginia University’s Nolan Minor and Casey Lanier sit in fourth with 13-13, which came predominantly from spotted bass. University of Montevallo, the host school of the Wild Card, rounds out the Top 5 as J.T. Russell and John Turner weighed 13-9. Josh Worth of Colorado Mesa University is tied with the home-team duo.
Russell and Turner weighed in the big bass of Day 1, one tipping the scales at 5-2.
The 127-boat field will fish on Friday as takeoff begins at 5:30 a.m. CT at Beeswax Landing. Check-in time is 1:30 p.m. CT.
The event is hosted by Discover Shelby County and the University of Montevallo Presidential Outdoors Scholarship Program. | 2019-04-23T22:36:30 | http://www.bassmastermedia.com/article/LSUShreveportTakesEarlyLeadInBassmasterCollegeWildCardTournament |

I wrote something yesterday while I was feeling pretty energized. I sat myself down and let the feeling be. At some point I really felt the urge to write, I mean, I scoured my desk for a pencil because I didn't want to miss something.
I ended up posting it on a closed group that I am a part of on FB. I posted a reply to show where I was coming from, after seeing the time that I posted it I think I rolled my eyes a bit... "As if!"
Still don't know why, and if I add up all the things where I'd say "still don't know why" I could summarize that there's a bigger picture. Something of a positive distraction while nature works at her pace.
there's another curious thing that happens when I get worked-up or feel like I am getting pulled down. It's likely that I've mentioned this before. Songs play in my head, very specific songs with lyrical content that (though subjective and absolutely biased ) speak to my exact situation. I'd be worried if the hints were negative, but they are always trying to life me up. I think it's pretty cool and it makes me smile.
She said "I'll take you some place where I know it will change"
"Arise, remove your earth, shake off your dust, raise yourself, that you may travel in company with the spirits, for your wings are those of a falcon, your gleam is that of a star..."
'It is man's duty not to acquiesce in his merely human state, but rather, in the strength of his contemplation of things divine, to scorn and despise the mortal part which has been attached to him because it was needful that he should keep and tend his lower world.
'If man takes upon him in all its fullness the function assigned to him, that is, the tendence which is his special task, he becomes the means of right order to the Kosmos, and the Kosmos to him.'"
I am pasting something Roger wrote to Jan because it fits well with my previous post. I was looking at older posts and found this. I also found one where you mention basically what is happening right now with the US and Syria. Sorry if this moves about in too many directions but I feel the need to post it in this way.
Let’s be a little provocative: to me, a grown up human being is someone who naturally relates to the ‘Unus Mundus’ because doing this has become a fully integrated function corresponding to a bilateral or reciprocal need: the need to consciously feel one’s working belonging to the universe, and the need for the universe to be consciously recognized in its living relatedness, Eros.
So paradoxically in the culmination of 'amour-propre', self-love, where we in some ways seek nothing but our own good and own well-being, the ego and its will principle become so 'immersed' and unified with the greater field of energy, that they 'vanish' alltogether, because there is nothing egoic that 'stands out' anymore, and the sense of self-ness becomes condensed to its most basic form of simple 'being'.
As any natural growth process, Unio corporalis requires time. It also requires conscious acceptance.
What I mean by ‘natural relation’ is that the relating process has become integrated, that is to say ‘works’ as a ‘natural function’, another ‘sense’.
Of course the personality shift it implies is the fruit of this progressive growth process. On this path paved with abandoned ego desires, the (pavlovian? ) wish for bliss eventually finds its place as something else unfolds.
The ‘crystal body’ is not the exclusive treasure of some people considered as ‘holy hermits’. (If they are ‘holy’ it is because they are “whole-y”, and no saint at all by the way). It also permeates, filtrates through, and finally gilds the surroundings of the life of ‘simple beings’ as you put it. It is, and incarnates in the acts (not necessarily ‘deeds’) of the individuals concerned.
Was reading something of Remo's work tending to the Child archetype.
I had to laugh a bit, seems I was setup (life conditions) to have to deal with it.
My impression was that out of two images the child appears, yet split, and is the next image to contend with.
*I'm putting my own words to that to give a description of what it feels like. "Image"
Edit: I had the chance to speak with my parents about being adopted. Many interesting things came from that. In the conversation I explained that this heartbeat that formed me I had no choice to become unfamiliar with regardless of how much love they gave me when I was young. It's not their "fault" that I have things to deal with in that regard, I said. My dad said "you were our chosen son".
This morning (in the shower!) I remembered the gift I received from them on my 1st birthday, a drum (a new beat).
*edit: just read (today, Monday) that everything in nature is dual - 4.
"So maybe Hillman was right. We don’t have to ground the puer out of fear for his extravagances. Wait a while, and life will bring him closer to earth."
How's this for a type-o?
Lapis Philosophorum: Also known as the ultima materia, aqua permanens (=its libido aspect), rubedo tinctura, filius macrocosmi or philosophorum, quinta essentia, panacea, medicina catholica, rotundrum, elixir vitae, lapis exilis (stone of no worth), everlasting food): the Philosopher's Stone, prized goal of alchemy. According to legend, the Stone, a freed form of the spirit of Mercurius trapped within the prima materia or initially unprocessed raw material, grants immortality, heals all disease, and transforms base metals into gold. Jung saw it as a Self symbol--one compensating Christ--and the goal of individuation.
Zeus was heavy-handed at times, as a result I had difficulty in storms because I was afraid to get hit by lightning.
Might not be good to carry that with me, or maybe I should just to let it clear. i am unsure about that.
Might as well keep the ball rolling.
There are a couple of people who helping me with an intense time. I feel pretty blessed in a lot of ways.
One song sent me on a search and I ended up here.
Call me crazy, go ahead, nothing can take this away from me.
I wrote on a FB group page that I've wept what felt like blood on my drums. I just read this page and I guess it makes more sense.
*btw, I'm tired of talking about them.
this morning I was wondering if individuation was the culmination of Romanticism, it was a totally random thought - I've never really studied Romanticism. I started to search that idea and found some really (really) cool stuff.
Hi, I hope everyone who still reads here is doing well.
I have an interface that allows me to play into my computer and record the random stuff that I am trying to process. Anyway, the other day I was playing and looking at the guitar strings vibrate. At that time I was playing something I thought was pretty cool, and thought that I should stop the recording and make a note about it. I stopped the recording at the 137th bar (I didn't see the screen, just reached up and pressed the space bar). This is meaningful to me because I felt really good about what I was playing!
there's something I wanted to write about on the day it happened but I've let it sit for a while. Just now I felt compelled to write about it.
I often read Gregory's posts and find some ideas in there that are very similar to things I may have been contemplating at the time, etc. Well, this last one was pretty vivid. I was walking my dog and kind of laughed at a random idea that came up. I was thinking of some kind of peg leg person playing some kind of pirate music. I don't know why but I felt it was comical, and I could visualize it pretty well.
Shortly after that day I came across Gregory's post talking about the golden peg leg. Ok, fine, similar theme. Why the hell would I think about it in time with that post?
I've looked at it a bunch of ways and I still just have to let it be. Not sure what to make of it, if anything at all.
Pascal, I am glad to see you posting about complex and deeply meaningful synchronicities. I have been experiencing lots of them many times a day for several months. Other people I know in person or online are also having visions and encountering new people in their every day lives who are also surprisingly having deep spiritual aspirations recently arising in them. I have been thinking frequently of our deceased blog mate Ann Elliot. She wrote mystical books that are still posted online by her family. I think there is one I read a few years ago... and in a recent dream I heard an inner voice say that I will discover answers to some of my deepest concerns from Ann in a very specific book... I will recognize when I go to see again what it might be. Thank You for your continuing participation all these years in preserving the Ann/Suzanne Blog. I have two wonderful daughters nearby where I live... but you in effect are like a wonderful son at a distance who shares all of our similar devotion to knowing we have a purpose in our lives now and most likely will be in the same afterlife locale together.
thanks for a being like a mom at a distance! I can't even describe how much I have learned from you and this forum, it's pretty amazing.
For instance, again, Greg's posts. I recently wrote the words PANIK to you in a message about an event I attended (that word was part of a synchronicity). Now I read his latest post and laughed out loud.
I suppose I just have to settle in to the fact that it's all connected.
*edit: after submitting my post I read it. The image fit so perfectly with the idea of a "mom at a distance"!
Today I read the most recent post in Gregory's thread. I swore, I got up, and I walked away from my desk.
Why o why, that's all I can say. I don't mention mana for I don't know how long and there it is.
I posted on FB this morning on a thread by a Jungian named Craig, it was about Elijah and Mana.
I know where I'm stuck. Why? The only song I've ever recorded and put spoken word to is a song I named THESEUS. I had no idea what Theseus was about when I named it.
Just read another thread, I wonder if the forum will close?
I hope not but it is a possibility. You must feel a little lonely now on the forum.
A little, but it’s ok, we have our reasons. For the past couple of years I thought to let it go, but this magical life keeps offering reasons to stay.
It’s weird, I just thought to post here because of a song lyric that I am listening to. I debated it because - not sure why.
Hi All, Actually it was not us but Remo who started the Ann-Suzanne Blog. He clipped it off from an earlier thread. Of course many of our old faithful posters here and throughout the rest of Unus Mundus no longer post. Some reasons have been that they were moving into work situations and would not be making personal experiences and opinions open to be read by folks wandering in who do not become posters. One of the largest reasons for less devoted posting is, that sadly to us who loved them, many have died over several years mostly from old age. Some of those persons were among our most spiritual as well as intellectual posters. A few people in my personal life have asked me about the forum. I trusted them to come and read. They all replied that this is an amazing forum with wonderful posts that are superior to many new age books about the esoteric topics we have created and maintained I suppose for about 10 years now. I call all of this forum, not just Ann-Suzanne, but instead -- THE UNIVERSITY OF THE WORLD SOUL. One person in my family says it has so much astonishing information that the individual comes by once in awhile and reads more pages. However I do not think that any few people I might know are the ones bumping up the number of readers of our present Ann-Suzanne. Just a very few months ago, I commented to two family members that I expected the number of drop-in readers to reach over 200,000 soon. The number is now actually more than that. Every time we two post, there is a kind of surge of readers. I do not know who they are or why they are likely coming back and not just brand new viewers. Once in awhile I go to various entire forum topics and read some of the very oldest posts from when there were mostly then only a few members and then more coming in and joining in for months or years. It is actually a very fast surge within a day or two of new posts. Perhaps somebody may post who and why they come after reading my comment here. Actually every day and every night, I use the belly brain meditation method that Remo taught us all in the beginning of this wonderful gathering place. It has been a blessing to me and many old friends who were here years ago even if they are not with us any more. If there is a real afterlife, Ann and I wrote emails about probably meeting again over there in the dimension suitable to our mutual ideals and devotions.
Today I realized that it is good that I don’t want to excomunicate the church from me. Christ is the pure light, Mercurius is its complement. If it takes over the light, then, I suppose it is a false light.
Revealing itself in self-discovery. I asked recently “what is the subtrate onto which my thoughts are placed” - it is Mercurius.
Not sure where to post this.
In the past 36 hours or so I feel like Neo in the matrix. I’m tired from the info. Yesterday morning when I was coming out of sleep I heard a very loud popping sound, like snapping out of something, vacuum-like.
Tired, but not exhausted, keeping my limits as best as I can.
Art thou noble to receive?
Know this: I, Mercurius, have here set down a full, true and infallible account of the Great Work. But I give you fair warning that unless you seek the true philosophical gold and not the gold of the vulgar, unless you heart is fixed with unbending intent on the true Stone of the Philosophers, unless you are steadfast in your quest, abiding by God’s laws in all faith and humility and eschewing all vanity, conceit, falsehood, intemperance, pride, lust and faint-heartedness, read no farther lest I prove fatal to you. For I am the watery venomous serpent who lies buried at the earth’s centre; I am the fiery dragon who flies through the air. I am the one thing necessary for the whole Opus. I am the spirit of metals, the fire which does not burn, the water which does not wet the hands. If you find the way to slay me you will find the philosophical mercury of the wise, even the White Stone beloved of the Philosophers. If you find the way to raise me up again, you will find the philosophical sulphur, that is, the Red Stone and Elixir of Life. Obey me and I will be your servant; free me and I will be your friend. Enslave me and I am a dangerous enemy; command me and I will make you mad; give me life and you will die.
This will be a shorter reply tonight. I will add more tomorrow. Where I live near Washington DC, we had an alert this afternoon that a serious tornado was coming our way. That ended for some hours what I wanted to write about the topic right above here from my blog mate. If World War Annihilation takes place sometime soon, because of the insanities going on among many nation leaders and religious leaders who literally want to have the "End Times"... even though supposedly predicted in ancient times... come true specifically in our current time. I was very young just out of high school when I started college in Washington D.C. We young people in the Girl's Apartment house were terrified. It was the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis. There was a famous movie called "On the Beach" that portrayed a rather small group of people who had not been blown up like the rest of our world but were gathering together on the open sand areas while waiting in horror that the clouds of radiation would soon come their way and kill them. There was also the grim song that "we will all go together when we go... as there would be no living humans anywhere else on our blasted and poisoned planet. With all the far more powerful nuclear weapons that are horded by several nations, once the first attacks begin, all the other leaders who have their own nukes will join in the launches.
THE END OF US ALL. Well, I started reading about history, religion, what happened in earlier centuries and why can't we figure out how to prevent this heartbreaking end of various men, women, and children who were at least sometimes capable of love, kindness, helping others, and at least trying to understand about the other races, religions, and numerous political fanaticisms. I still have hundreds of books that I was reading from around age 15 and trying to figure out if there was any purpose to our lives at all. This week in my Senior Residence, I am seriously trying to get rid of piles of old documents and letters, but I keep on finding and wanting to hold on to the ones that gave me some concepts of faith and caring about people of all backgrounds. Today I got an email that is offering new additions to one type of books that I studied in a Edgar Cayce group where I lived some decades ago. For now I am only pasting in here what the email said just before I was on my way to a safe room to hide from the tornado that of course tends to stir up fears of an abrupt end of our lives while we still want more time with our children and grandchildren.
Are you looking for a deeper understanding of your spiritual nature and your place in the universe? Decades ago, a group of ordinary individuals were seeking the same answers to life’s questions that are still sought by many of us today. What the Edgar Cayce readings had to offer was a broader view as seen from the perspective of our higher selves—where there is no division, no separation by religion, only oneness. This view incorporates the philosophies of the world into a practical daily application for living that brings hope and profound change into the lives of those who apply it.
Hi Suzanne, What I wanted to ask is: have we talked about Carl Rodgers. Maybe Rodgers is one of the many interested in whatever we seem to be getting more deeply involved in. I got fascinated with the Urantia material today that I had heard of before but never taken the time to try and understand its origin or purpose and today why Wieman's ideas would be incorporated in it. If as they say it was written or compiled for a time after the present crises through which civilization is passing then this would suggest that his ideas which were probably too far ahead the more popular 20th C theologians (for instance Tillich and Barth) his Process concepts are right for the universal perspective of the future.
Hi Ann, I think we are on to something with Wieman and Carl Rodgers for instance that is at least very important to our own spiritual progress but will probably be helpful to others too. Also at some point, maybe it would be the time to add the Wink material, as the disciples' feeling of Jesus' continuing presence possibly can be tied into the notion of the "communion of saints" in which love and inspiration can still be shared between those of like mind and heart whether still alive or deceased. Offhand, I think Wieman, Russell, and others probably are aware of our efforts. In my last E-mail to you I gave an example about the others who may be helping Lee and Bob in their communications with us.
Quote: Who are these many? He (Lee) said that my learning to understand about the often symbolic and synchronistic nature of our communications, which can lead to misunderstandings at times, is an ongoing process, and we will get better at it as we go along. I asked again, who are the many, who are some of them? He replied, do you remember who was always talking about how we are all in an ongoing process in our development? I thought about it... Dana Roblee (the professor who was Lee's best friend) used to say, we are in a process of becoming, the outcome of which we cannot know and which is probably infinite. Yes, Lee replied, Dana is one of the many with me. But, who else I asked? He said, listen carefully now, you will hear who else. I thought I heard a faint tune, but it seemed to me a song without words. I could not think of any words. Since I was alone in the room where I was, I began to imitate the tune softly out loud, lalalala-lala-lalala-lala... well, at that I suddenly burst into tears... and I said, Jack! (my half brother from my father's first marriage who was born in 1919 - 24 years older than I was). He used to whistle that tune when he came over to see our father when I was little. It was "Lili Marlene", the song that German and American soldiers both loved. Jack had been in World War II and accepted German surrenders because he knew German fluently, and later he was a noted professor who had written about the rise of Hitler. In late 1979, I had a dream that I should send a birthday card to my brother Jack, his and my birthdays were one day apart, but he had lived far away all my adult life and I had rarely ever seen him. I sent the card. He wrote back and for the first time mentioned our father's funeral and some other personal things we had never talked about. The next July 4th, Jack died suddenly at age 60, in 1980. So, Lee, said, yes, your brother is another one of the many who are with me.

I was searching info on the transcendent function and saw this as I was scrolling. This is something I should have read long ago considering that I post about it here.
Hello Everybody, As usual I have been busy with practical matters in my everyday life. Now since I am well settled into my new residence, it is much easier for me to be organizing the esoteric material from my old hand-written notebooks going back to from the 1960s to the late 1990s. My Blog mate Ann Elliott, when she was still alive and posting here for several years, used to exchange private emails with me about personal and family topics, or if either of us was sick or traveling, but we usually did not plan specific topics because that would ruin the "meaningful coincidence" of the Blog and some other topic threads on the rest of the forum. She knew from my telling her by email who Lee was and, as mentioned here before a few times, she received dictation communication from her deceased husband Bob Elliott who had studied to be a Shaman with Michael Harner. At first her husband reported that he knew of Lee's work with others in the Beyond but that he did not know Lee because they were on a different level. This below is a copy of her post from 2008. First for any forum newcomers, I should mention that Ann and Bob had met Lao Russell, widow of Walter Russell, in person when Lao was visiting and lecturing in California near to where Ann and her husband lived. Lao and Ann wrote many letters to one another for quite a number of years. Many of the vibrational sound combined with color healers of today derived part of their inspiration from Dr. Russell who was a classical organist himself and from his scientific charts and psychedelic cosmic paintings -- well before the hippies and other young interdimensional travelers were reporting such experiences widely in our American culture. I live in Virginia only several hours away from the beautiful Swannaoa Palace in Waynesboro Virginia where the Russells lived for several decades. I have been there many times over the years and had talks and walks with Lao Russell in person without being in a group visit. Since Lao passed on, there are some but not many of us older people aged 60 to 90 years old who knew her. Later this year, I am planning to meet up with some of those oldsters and the middle aged and much younger folks who know of and admire the teachings of Lao and Walter. With all the present fears about the possibility of worldwide nuclear war in our time, the Russell 1950s book Atomic Suicide is being read by newer generations. Finally below is the complete post that Ann wrote here in 2008. She is of course now wherever Bob is on the other side or in what ever higher realm they have moved to since then.
Quotes from Bob by dictation through Ann who had also been Bob's secretary during his years as a lawyer. START: I have had no direct contact with Suzanne's friend Lee but I am aware of his presence here and the importance of his work and contribution. So much more can be accomplished when there is a conscious and deep love--such as we have—connection . She can and is assisting him and the larger work he is part of. I can tell you very little, both because I know little, understand less, and would not in any event be permitted to. However, she has the ability for direct communication with him and it should be through writing down what he instructs her as to how she can help him. Tell her about your work in Scotland in establishing the triangle. It is such a small piece of the puzzle we were given to work on/with. . . .
There are a number of things I'd like to write about but I was searching some stuff in my computer just now and realized that I had a copy of Holy Wedding.
-what is the deeper significance of synchronicity? Remo says it is BCI. Ok, well, I have a lot of them. Ridiculously meaningful ones.
I want to know what to do with them, if that makes any sense. Follow them, yes, but mine are related to things that I do not fully understand. Perhaps I have gained some understanding of the qm subject along the way that I did not have before, but it's not like I'll make a career out of it. Anyway, synchronicity is incarnation in the mind, and bci incarnation in matter..
This might be for future reference.
Edit: I guess there are times that I’d like to thank them as well. | 2019-04-23T10:51:46 | http://unus-mundus.fr/viewtopic.php?f=19&p=16394 |

Unlike last month the guys at Sony have announced the PlayStation Plus December 2018 lineup bang on time which will certainly please those waiting to hear the announcement. This month will see a decent lineup of games, mostly appealing to those on PS4, which will include SOMA along with Onrush.
First up on our PlayStation Plus December 2018 list. SOMA is a sci-fi horror game from Frictional Games, creators of the groundbreaking Amnesia and Penumbra series.
the other PS4 AAA amongst the PlayStation Plus December 2018 list. Race, smash and takedown your opponents in Onrush, a refreshing break from the norm in action/arcade racer. Dare to be reckless and win at all costs as you enter into the Onrush Championship, the world’s most celebrated underground, and globally streamed, extreme sport of the future.
Steins;Gate is a Japanese visual novel developed by 5pb. and Nitroplus. It is the second game in the Science Adventure series following Chaos;Head. The game is described by the development team as a “hypothetical science ADV” and explores time and time travel in 2010 Akihabara. The gameplay follows non-linear plot lines which offer branching scenarios with courses of interaction.
Join renegade mechanic Robin and uncover the secrets of a dying planet. Explore a huge, open world filled with intricate puzzles, oddball characters and menacing bosses in a beautiful platform adventure telling a personal story about faith, purpose and whether the world is really worth saving.
last but not least on our PlayStation Plus December 2018 lineup. Papers, Please was developed by Lucas Pope beginning in November, 2012 using the Haxe programming language and the NME framework, both open-source. As an American living in Japan, Pope dealt with immigration in his international travels and thought the experience, which he describes as “tense”, could be made into a fun game. Before release, Pope had set up a name submission form for the public, where people could submit their own names to be randomly assigned to scripted characters in the game. Papers, Please was submitted to Steam Greenlight on April 11, 2013 and was greenlit on May 1.
We may have wrapped up the PlayStation Plus December 2018 lineup, but it’s not too late to get the PlayStation Plus November 2018 games. As a reminder these included Yakuza Kiwami and Bulletstorm. | 2019-04-26T09:42:41 | https://starstruckgaming.com/playstation-plus-december-2018-games-reveal/ |

What are they going to do to Itch?
It is strange that chair keeps changing.
Im glad that I wasnt the only one to notice.
The chair is more the gag than the gag.
Who knew that itch could be so cute at times?
What did itch do to get on these sharks’bad side?
Borrowed money, and never paid it back. They’re “loan sharks”, a term for people who lend money at excessive rates, usually illegally, and usually tied to organised crime.
I see what you mean now. Thanks for explaining that to me. I didn’t think that itch would have to pay them back with his body.

I have been remiss lately in not keeping up this series, which I know many people find interesting because they get viewed very often. However, I recently obtained one of these books and finished reading it just this morning, and one of my takeaways was that it was the newest Haydn book I had (2013), it had been released almost six years ago, and yet I had never heard of it, I was totally unaware of its existence until I happened across a mention of it over the Holidays. And I do look for such things!
If I have a hard time finding things like this, I can only assume that you do also. So here are a few concrete suggestions. They are all books I was able to purchase, some would have been quite expensive if I bought them new, but I didn't, I confess. If you are fortunate enough to have access to a good library, you can probably read them for free, which is a great price indeed.
Here is a link to the page, which also appears in the right sidebar. | 2019-04-22T18:18:10 | https://www.fjhaydn.com/my-blog/2019/week3/index.html |

The movie that put me on the map, so to say, is finally out, and my verdict is in.
How did “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” put me on the map? The reason is because this movie was in the planning stages way back before I was published, and its very presence in the pipeline communicated to my publisher that other media companies invest in King Arthur related books and movies.
And so “King Arthur: Legend of the Sword” helped to get me published with Zondervan, a subsidiary of HarperCollins, which therefore gave my novels worldwide distribution to every English speaking country, including Canada, the United Kingdom, most of Europe, South Africa, and Australia. Wow!
So in light of that you can read my oh so regretful of a review over at the Speculative Faith website. | 2019-04-19T03:20:13 | http://www.epictales.org/treskillard/2017/05/19/review-of-king-arthur-legend-of-the-sword/ |
Following a slew of recent headlines–Anthony’s Bourdain’s food and retail market headed for the SuperPier, the mega-market coming to Essex Crossing that will be one of the largest in the world, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s seafood-themed food hall planned for the South Street Seaport–6sqft recently posed the question: Is the city’s food hall obsession about to burst?

The days of weight training being the domain of body builders, professional lifters and muscled-up gym junkies are gone. No matter what age you are, incorporating weights into your exercise routine can bring many health benefits.
Of course, before beginning any new exercise or weight training program, you must speak to your physician first.
Did you know that somewhere in your 30’s you start to lose muscle mass and function. This condition is known as age-related sarcopenia. This leads to a loss of strength and mobility. accelerating as you get older. Consistency and frequency of weight training is key to building muscle – more so then the actual weight lifted – which is more focused on strengthening muscles.
Who doesn’t want to burn those calories? When you lift weights, the muscle you build is more effective at burning calories than the fat in your body. Muscle is effective at burning calories even as you sleep. Lean muscle mass is what we are after.
Related to the previous point, your metabolism refers to how much energy you use up at rest. When you lift weights, you increase the amount of energy your body uses at rest, and the effects of this stay with you for many hours after you end your workout routine. Studies show weight lifting increase your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) for up to 24 hrs post trailing.
As people age, the chances of developing osteoporosis (brittle, porous bones) increases. This is especially true of women who are past childbearing age.
By adding weights to an exercise regime, it works to keep bones healthy. This is because the muscles and tendons pull on the bones, causing the body’s bone cells to produce more bone.
It is widely accepted that cardio exercise is beneficial for your heart. However, new studies are showing that weight lifting also helps your heart by resulting in healthy reductions in blood pressure for longer times than doing cardio alone.
When you strengthen your muscles, you are increasing support to your joints. This can aid with lessening pain and stiffness in joints.
Exercise and weightlifting both result in increased levels of dopamine and serotonin – “the feel-good chemicals” in your brain. These are the same chemicals that antidepressant medications raise levels of in your brain.
You can also experience improved mood with the stress release that comes with having a good workout and weightlifting session.
Lifting weights is not just for men. Increasingly more and more women are lifting, but there are still those with concerns that they are going to “bulk up” and look like a bloke.
If you are doing a couple of sessions a week in the gym… Arnie you will NOT be!
Another important note to make. If you are on a weight-loss program – the scales will likely be your enemy – muscle is always going to be heavier than fat – if you compare the same mass.
But you’ll find that while you build muscle, your overall size is likely to decrease. It’s highly possible to lose very little on the scale 3 dress sizes smaller! Base your progress on measurements and body composition not the weight on the scales.
So it’s definitely worthwhile to incorporate weight training into your weekly training if you want to step up your fitness training, improve health as you age or tone up and reduce body size. | 2019-04-26T01:58:49 | http://agirlsguidetosuccess.com/7-health-benefits-weight-training/ |

Recent developments in several industrial economies, particularly in the three largest ones, raise important issues about how to judge the stance of monetary policy. In the United States, recovery from the recent recession has been exceptionally sluggish, whereas inflation has fallen to its lowest level in two decades. In Japan, growth has slowed considerably during the past eighteen months. In Germany, by contrast, inflationary pressures surged in 1991–92 following unification, although more recently growth has stagnated. At the same time, the evolution of broad monetary aggregates—which the monetary authorities have preferred to target or monitor—suggests that monetary conditions have been tight in the United States and Japan but easy in Germany. But other indicators—including nominal and real short-term interest rates, the slope of yield curves, and narrow monetary aggregates—suggest that monetary policy has eased in the United States and in Japan, whereas it has tightened significantly in Germany.
This annex examines the experiences of these three countries and, more briefly, those of selected other industrial economies in order to assess the reliability of indicators of the stance of monetary policy. The analysis shows that contradictions among the various indicators, as is now the case, often occur over the course of the business cycle. Moreover, the growth of the broad monetary aggregates now appears to be giving misleading indications of the true stance of monetary policy and of its probable effect on future growth and inflation. Appropriately assessing the stance of monetary policy and the need for policy adjustments therefore requires examination of a range of indicators.
In the United States, the recovery from the recession that began in the third quarter of 1990 has been unusually sluggish by historical standards: growth in the first four quarters following the trough has been only about half that in the weakest previous postwar recovery (Chart 20). Although several factors have contributed to this disappointing performance, there has been concern that the slow growth of M2, which has fallen below the bottom of the Federal Reserve’s target band, indicates that monetary policy has not eased enough to sustain a robust recovery (Chart 21). This behavior apparently contrasts with earlier experience, when a fall in velocity, typically due to a surge in M2, has usually preceded a pickup in output growth by about four quarters.
1As identified by the National Bureau of Economic Research.
The recent behavior of M2 has been sufficiently unusual to suggest that this aggregate may no longer be very useful for assessing the stance of monetary policy.1 During the 1970s, a positively sloped yield curve was associated with rapid growth of M2 relative to M1. After financial deregulation in the 1980s, however, this relationship apparently broke down; since the mid-1980s, an inverted yield curve has been associated with rapid growth of M2 relative to M1. The recent pattern reflects the fact that low short-term interest rates and high long-term rates reduce the attractiveness of short-term assets in M2 relative to both demand deposits and longer-term assets, thereby reducing the growth of M2.
Other factors have also contributed to the recent slowdown in the growth of M2. On the demand side, households and businesses may have been liquidating short-term assets in order to reduce their debt burden by paying down loans. On the supply side, depository institutions have been increasing the spread between the return on assets (loans) and the cost of liabilities (deposits, including time deposits) in response to low profitability, regulatory pressure to boost capital-asset ratios, slack loan demand during the recession and subsequent period of slow growth, and the perception that some loans are now riskier than before. As banks have consolidated the asset side of their balance sheets, they have had less need to raise funds and therefore have offered relatively low returns on instruments such as time deposits. Finally, asset shifts associated with closures of insolvent savings and loan institutions have reportedly slowed the growth of monetary aggregates.
Indicators other than M2 suggest that the stance of monetary policy in the United States has eased substantially. In particular, the narrow aggregate M1 has been growing robustly, and the dollar has weakened as short-term nominal interest rates have fallen to their lowest levels in three decades. Short-term real interest rates are now close to zero, the lowest level since real interest rates were negative in the early 1980s. Long-term interest rates, however, have fallen only modestly, resulting in a very steep yield curve. In contrast to the often confusing signals provided by monetary aggregates, the yield curve has proved to be a reliable indicator of economic activity, with a lag of about four quarters.2 In the 1974–75 recession, the yield curve became steeply inverted about four quarters before output growth turned negative; it then became positive as output recovered. A similar pattern occurred in the 1981–82 recession. The recent steepness of the yield curve has been signaling an upturn in economic activity for some time and is consistent with a recovery in output growth in 1993, although the process of resolving private sector balance sheet difficulties may continue to restrain the pace of expansion.
In Japan, as in the United States, the monetary aggregate monitored by the central bank (M2 + CD) has barely grown over the past eighteen months, suggesting very tight monetary conditions (Chart 22).3 This slow growth was preceded by unusually rapid growth in 1990, however, and to that extent may reflect a return of the aggregate to its underlying trend. The evolution of the monetary aggregates was also influenced by the sharp rise in market interest rates in 1990 and their subsequent decline through 1991. As interest rates rose in 1990, funds were shifted out of postal deposits, which are not included in M2 + CD, because returns did not rise as quickly as interest rates paid on other assets. Prime lending rates also rose more slowly than market rates in late 1990 and early 1991; in response, firms borrowed at prime and reinvested in CDs. As interest rates fell during 1991, funds were shifted back into postal deposits, and firms unwound their positions in CDs, with the result that growth of M2 + CD was unusually slow.
1 CD, certificate of deposit.
Indicators other than M2 + CD suggest that the stance of monetary policy has loosened somewhat. The growth of the narrow aggregate M1 increased during 1990–91 and, although it declined somewhat in 1992, it was at about the same level as average growth in the 1980s. In addition, short-term rates have fallen by over 300 basis points in the past eighteen months in Japan, and real short-term interest rates are at their lowest level in more than a decade (except for a brief period in 1989). Short-term rates have also fallen about a percentage point below long-term rates. As in other countries, a positively sloped yield curve is associated with high growth of the narrow aggregate compared with the broad one.
However, the factors underlying the recent behavior of monetary aggregates and other indicators in Japan are not completely understood, and it is therefore unusually difficult to judge whether current monetary conditions can sustain adequate growth in 1993. In particular, as in several other industrial countries, the collapse of equity and real estate prices has eroded the capital base of the banking sector, has resulted in a rise in nonperforming loans, and may also be depressing household consumption. The prospect that these effects may prove as pervasive and long-lasting as in other industrial countries suggests that the current stance of monetary policy in Japan is not overly expansionary.
In Germany, the twelve-month growth rates of the broad monetary aggregate M3 during the first nine months of 1992 were running well above the target range of 3.5 to 5.5 percent established by the Bundesbank (Chart 23).4 The rapid growth of M3 has been cited as an indication that monetary policy has been too loose. By contrast, following an upward surge during 1991 because of German monetary unification, M1 grew relatively moderately, despite a probable increase in the use of the deutsche mark in Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. Although moderate M1 growth suggests tight monetary policy, the divergence between the growth rates of the aggregates has complicated the assessment of the stance of policy. Historically, M3 has tended to grow more rapidly than M1 in response to a flattening or inversion of the yield curve—as has occurred during the past two years—because relatively high short-term rates increase the attractiveness of the short-term interest-bearing assets in M3. In addition, the prospect of the introduction of a withholding tax on interest income in mid-1992 may have induced movement out of longer-term assets and into the relatively liquid interest-bearing assets contained in M3.
Monetary unification has made movements in both the narrow and broad monetary aggregates misleading as indicators of monetary stance.5 In addition to a substantial once-and-for-all increase in money stocks of perhaps 15 percent, unification increased the demand for money from the eastern Länder. It will be difficult to evaluate how the behavior of asset holders and borrowers in east Germany will evolve; hence, the growth rates of the monetary aggregates may prove to be misleading guides to underlying economic conditions.
Whereas M3 and M1 have been providing mixed signals, other indicators suggest that monetary policy in Germany is now quite tight. Short-term nominal and, more important, real interest rates are very high by postwar standards. This has put considerable upward pressure on the deutsche mark and contributed to the recent turmoil in the ERM. Short-term interest rates are also now well above long-term rates, resulting in a yield curve that is as steeply inverted as at any time in recent history. As in the United States, an inverted yield curve has been a reliable indicator that monetary policy is exerting significant downward pressure on output growth.
Two previous episodes of inflationary pressure followed by monetary tightening are helpful in assessing the indicators of monetary stance. Germany experienced a surge of inflationary pressure in the early 1970s, as did other countries. In response, the Bundesbank raised nominal and real short-term interest rates, and the yield curve became steeply inverted. The downturn of economic activity in Germany during 1974–75 and the subsequent reduction of inflation testify to the success of the tight stance of monetary policy. Nonetheless, M3 continued to grow rapidly from early 1973 through late 1974, even as M1 growth collapsed. In 1979, the second oil shock triggered another inflationary upsurge, which was again accompanied by a tightening of monetary conditions. As in 1973–74, the growth of M1 fell sharply, even turning negative in 1981, whereas the growth rate of M3 remained relatively stable. The yield curve became inverted as short rates rose sharply, and, as in the previous episode, this was followed by a fall in output, although the disinflationary impact may have been blunted by the fall in the value of the deutsche mark relative to the dollar, which reflected in part very tight monetary policy in the United States. In light of both of these episodes, the current monetary indicators suggest a slowing of the German economy and receding inflationary pressures.
Recent difficulties in interpreting the behavior of monetary aggregates have not been limited to the three largest economies. In the United Kingdom, rising inflation became a key policy concern by late 1988, particularly in view of the prospect of entry into the ERM (which occurred in 1990). Monetary policy, which has used MO as the only targeted aggregate since 1987, was tightened considerably beginning in 1988 and over the course of 1989, remained tight through most of 1990, and then eased modestly beginning in late 1990. Short-term rates were pushed well above long-term rates from mid-1988 through late 1990 and then eased gradually to only about a percentage point above long-term rates during 1991, although they remained very high in real terms. In response, economic growth slackened somewhat during 1989, and a prolonged recession began in the third quarter of 1990. Meanwhile, inflation (measured by the “headline” twelve-month change in the retail price index) has fallen below 4 percent.
The growth of the broad monetary aggregate M4 remained high relative to that of the narrow aggregate throughout 1989 and into 1990. As economic activity began to weaken, the growth of M4 fell to levels not seen since the 1960s, suggesting an economy declining into a deepening recession. In contrast, the growth of the narrower aggregate began to fall in mid-1988, providing a more reliable indication of the earlier tightening of monetary stance in 1988 and 1989. The recent behavior of narrow money suggests an economy that is only barely growing. The situation in the United Kingdom in 1989 and early 1990 was thus similar to the current situation in Germany: a tight monetary stance accompanied by rapid growth of broad monetary aggregates. Monetary conditions were eased following the pound sterling’s entry into the ERM in late 1990, with short-term interest rates falling from 15 percent to 9½ percent in September 1992. Since sterling left the ERM, short-term rates fell further to 7¼ percent in early December—about 1 percentage point below long-term rates—and the pound has depreciated in effective terms by about 16 percent. These changes amount to a substantial easing of monetary conditions and should stimulate economic activity in 1993.
In Canada, where no monetary aggregate is targeted, inflation became the key policy concern during 1988–90, and monetary policy tightened considerably. Short-term interest rates were pushed up from mid-1988 until mid-1990 and stood more than 2½ percentage points above long-term rates from early 1989 until late 1990. As the economy slowed and inflation eased, short-term rates fell more than 700 basis points and were about 3 percentage points below long-term rates in August 1992. From already low levels in 1988, growth of the narrow monetary aggregate M1 declined further during 1989 and turned negative during 1990. In contrast, growth of the broad monetary aggregate picked up over the course of 1988–89, reached a peak for the decade at the end of 1989, and remained high through 1990. Since early 1991, growth of the broad aggregate has declined somewhat, whereas the growth of the narrow aggregate has picked up. The evolution of real output growth, which began to slow in late 1989 and turned negative in mid-1990, confirms the assessment of monetary policy indicated by the behavior of interest rates and the narrow aggregate. The behavior of the broad aggregate, in contrast, has been less useful as a guide to the impact of policy.
In Australia, determined efforts to combat inflation were clearly under way during 1989 as interest rates on short-term treasury bills were pushed to nearly 18 percent, 4 percentage points above long-term rates. The twelve-month growth of the narrow monetary aggregate M1 declined sharply from 36 percent at the beginning of 1989 to slightly below zero in early 1990. In contrast, the twelve-month growth of the broad monetary aggregate M3 rose to a peak of over 30 percent in mid-1989, ran above 20 percent by year-end, and was above 10 percent throughout 1990. Growth began to slow late in 1989; by mid-1990 a recession had begun, and inflation was falling. Again, the narrow aggregate appears to have reflected the stance of monetary policy more accurately than has the broad aggregate. The recovery that began in late 1991 is consistent with the sharp pickup in growth of the narrow aggregate, the persistent declines in short-term interest rates, and the increasingly positive slope of the yield curve since early 1991. At the same time, the broad aggregate has grown only slowly.

M1 comprises demand deposits at commercial banks and currency. M2 comprises M1, savings deposits, overnight repurchases and Eurodollars, small time deposits, and money market mutual shares. The recent slowdown in M2 growth has been concentrated in small time deposits, which are interest-bearing, nonliquid instruments issued in denominations of less than $100,000. See the analysis in John Wenninger and John Partlan, “Small Time Deposits and the Recent Weakness of M2,” Federal Reserve Bank of New York Quarterly Review, Vol. 17 (Spring 1992), pp. 21–35.
For econometric evidence, see Arturo Estrella and Gikas A. Hardouvelis, “The Term Structure as a Predictor of Real Economic Activity,” Journal of Finance, Vol. 46 (June 1991), pp. 555–76. They find that the term structure is a better predictor of real output than the short-term real interest rate and the index of leading indicators.
M1 comprises currency and demand deposits. M2 + CD comprises M1, all other deposits with financial institutions, and certificates of deposit (CDs).
M1 comprises “sight” deposits and currency. M3 comprises M1, time deposits, funds borrowed for a period of less than four years, and savings deposits. The Bundesbank’s target range is based on an estimate of potential output growth and on the medium-term target of price stability.
One sign of potential instability in money demand is the clear break in the relationship between monetary aggregates and nominal income. The steady decline in M3 velocity has been reversed since sometime in 1989, even after adjusting money stocks for the once-and-for-all change associated with unification.
On the first point, see Jeroen J.M. Kremers and Timothy D. Lane, “Economic and Monetary Integration and the Aggregate Demand for Money in the EMS,” Staff Papers (IMF), Vol. 27 (December 1990), pp. 777–805, and the references contained therein. On the second point, see Tamim A. Bayoumi and Peter B. Kenen, “Using an EC-Wide Monetary Aggregate in Stage Two of EMU, “IMF Working Paper 92/56 (July 1992). The issue of an EC monetary aggregate is far from settled, however, as is indicated by the comment on Kremers and Lane by David Barr, “The Demand for Money in Europe,” Staff Papers (IMF), Vol. 39 (September 1992), pp. 718–29. | 2019-04-19T11:05:21 | https://www.elibrary.imf.org/view/IMF081/14007-9781451939149/14007-9781451939149/back.xml |

It may be noted that Air India's was the only service that plied between Madurai and Mumbai.
Some passengers pointed out that all the tickets used to be sold out during the festive season and summer.
Chennai: Much to the chagrin of air passengers and traders of Madurai, Air India announced the temporary cancellation of its Mumbai to Madurai flight via Chennai from July 12 to July 31, citing low patronage to the service that has been catering to passengers of the southern districts for almost 42 years.
Although the announcement of cancelling AI671 (Mumbai to Madurai) and AI672 (Madurai to Mumbai) said that the cancellation has been done on a temporary basis, Air India sources said that the operation of the service from August 1 would be decided in the coming days. AI671 was taking off from Mumbai and reaching Chennai at 10.45 am every day from 1976.
The flight would leave for Madurai at 11.30 am. It was taking off from Madurai to reach Chennai at 2.15 pm. The decision was taken at a time when local passengers are demanding a direct service from Madurai to Mumbai.
“Private airlines are operating as many as 16 services between Chennai and Madurai. But Air India claims that the flight has low patronage. How can a private player operate flights without patronage? Air India is making way for private airlines,” a regular passenger alleged.
It may be noted that Air India's was the only service that plied between Madurai and Mumbai. “Many traders were using the Air India flight to send their jasmines, vegetables and other agricultural products to Mumbai for years. Withdrawing the flight service will hurt traders and farmers of the southern districts,” the passenger added.
Some passengers pointed out that all the tickets used to be sold out during the festive season and summer. “On normal days too, nearly 80 percent tickets were sold for the Air India flight. The claims of poor patronage made by the authorities are misleading,” they alleged.
Meanwhile, union minister Pon. Radhakrishnan said that he would talk to the Civil Aviation Minister to operate the existing flight service and an additional flight between Madurai and Mumbai. | 2019-04-22T02:24:07 | https://www.deccanchronicle.com/nation/current-affairs/120718/air-india-grounds-mumbai-madurai-flight.html |

The Model D-4B 4-Channel, 4-Button Handheld Transmitter is a four-channel transmitter that can initiate four separate functions. It is used in many remote switching applications where a portable four-channel transmitter is required. The first two digits of the digital code sent will be off or on depending on which transmitter button is pressed. Each transmission causes the red LED indicator on the front of the transmitter to light, showing that the transmitter is sending a signal and that the battery is in good condition. | 2019-04-26T08:20:05 | https://www.nortekcontrol.com/products/security-solutions/sd-wireless/d-4b-4-channel-4-button-handheld-transmitter/ |
Everyone wanting to subdivide land in Peachland must get approval from the District of Peachland.
The Land Title Act requires all subdivision plans to be reviewed and either approved or rejected by the Approving Officer. This requirement is set out by the Municipal Act and the Land Titles Act.
In Peachland the Subdivision & Development Servicing Bylaw identifies a senior staff member to act as the Approving Officer and make all decisions regarding land subdivision. The intent of the review process is to ensure that your subdivision is a positive contribution to Peachland, as well as a benefit to you.
Applications for Subdivision Development Agreements and statutory right-of-way documents also require the approval of Council. | 2019-04-23T18:21:15 | https://www.peachland.ca/subdivision |
I was in class, when this happened. I remember getting into my van to go and grab something to eat and run home for a bit before my next class. The radio kept saying something about the pentagon. I didn't understand because the announcer was not forthcoming with any information. All I understood was that there was a fire. My thoughts turned to getting home and hopefully finding out what was going on.
Then I reached home and saw the unthinkable right there on my television.
I had made it home just 2 minutes before the first tower fell. I just remembered feeling lost. Should I go and get my children from school and daycare? Should I go back to class? Oh My God, what about my husband? Does he even know?
Then it happened again...Soon before I left to go back to class, the second tower fell.
I did continue my day. And as it went on, I saw more and more anger and sorrow among my classmates and even my instructors. Classes turned into full-blown discussions of what was happening to our nation. I remember seeing crowds around offices and classroom televisions, struggling to hear the latest news.
When I went to get my two smallest children from daycare, is when I think it finally hit home. I walked into my daycare provider�s home. It was quiet, as usual, because it was naptime. When I approached my provider�s living room, there she was just sobbing. It was then it hit. We just stood there, sobbing together�not saying a word.
Now that the anniversary grows closer and the TV replays those horrible images and the radio play those beautiful songs in remembrance, I will stop and thank God, again, for giving me my family, my friends, and my life. I will give my boys an extra hug and tell them for the ten-millionth time I love them. I will kiss and hold my husband a little longer before he goes to work. But most importantly I will go on, because if I let it get to me, they will win�and this American is not about to let them.
My wife and I were both at work on 9/11. Although our office was closed that afternoon for security reasons, we stayed at work to finish up various tasks. We both feel that the response of the public and the news media needs to be tempered by some reality. First, we kill many more people from auto accidents, alcohol and tobacco in this country than we ever lost on 9/11. Second, terrorism of this kind is endemic around the world and has killed many more than we lost on 9/11 and the US is just lucky it hadn't struck here more often. Third, we have enough home grown nuts who use terrorism to advance their agenda (think OK City, abortion clinics, militia's) that could just as easily have been the terrorists as muslims. Fourth, it is very apparent to us that the current generation of Americans has grown very soft and fails to account for the world outside our borders. Get over it. In our part of the US, life was normal on 9/10, 9/11 and 9/12 and ever since that time. We flew to a conference on 9/23 for a week and have flown many times since then. Traffic at our local airport dropped just 4% over the last 6 months.
As a veteran, I am proud of the NYC firefighters and policemen and our military response and glad to see returning serviceman acknowledged for their service as opposed to being heckled and spit on like my own experience during Vietnam. | 2019-04-26T00:31:04 | http://www.wherewereyou.org/search/?searchtype=location&searchtext=north+dakota |
The personal "cloud" is the first step towards a virtual office | grreporter.info- News from Greece - Breaking News, Business, Sport, Multimedia and Video.
I often see people carrying large pads with them, their desks are piled with paper and the screen of computer is littered by sticky notes. On the other hand we are all mobile - literally and figuratively speaking – we are constantly in motion, our work is pursuing us even at home, we have computers from our work, mobile computers (laptop / notebook) we have smartphones, netbooks, tablets ... But we just do not have time to figure out how to make the most use of them!
I have been planning for a long time to write this article, through which I can show you how using a few free programs we can create a "virtual office". Recently, people talk a lot about the so-called "cloud computing". I promise it will not rain! Cloud computing enable us only through an Internet connection to use them wherever we are. In this way you will not have to call a colleague and ask him for a number of a client which we have written on a note, but we forgot the desk in the office. The programs that we will use and their application do not fully meet the definition of "cloud computing", but with a pure heart, we can say that will make our own, personal cloud.
When we download and install the program, it creates a folder on our computer, in which, whatever we place, is immediately synchronized with another computer where the program is also installed. Files are stored on the server of Dropbox and we can see them on their site, even without having installed on our computer the program, and for this purpose we must create an account. The free version gives us relatively little space of 2 GB, which however is enough for the purposes of this article and our personal cloud through which we will create a virtual office.
REMEMBER: For the tricks described below, to work, you must install Dropbox on every computer on which you wantto use them! It is mandatory to use the same account / registration / on each computer so as to see the same content that you synchronize.
I will not describe in detail how to install Dropbox, because they have prepared a wonderful presentation of how to use their service, which you can view at the end of the installation of the program.
We have already installed our cloud service and we are ready to synchronize ... what? I will offer you a small but very useful program that I have been using for years and serves me as my calendar, reminder and a list of tasks (To Do). I deliberately write the names in brackets because some of you may have used similar programs and can make a connection with them, as some users use the programs in English, others in Bulgarian. Rainlendar combines all these useful features and has one very big advantage: it can be seen directly on the desktop of your computer, allowing you to always see it in front of your eyes.
The program and more about its many useful features, you can find on the website of its author and you can also download it from there: http://www.rainlendar.net/. For many users, the free Lite version will be absolutely enough as well as for the purposes of this article. How to synchronize events and tasks that we input in our small Rainlendar calendar between all computers that we use, let’s say the one at home, in the office and the laptop? Of course, using Dropbox, which we have already installed on each computer and have created our Dropbox user account i.e. username and password.
IMPORTANT: Save the backup file in a folder of your choice, you may also do it in the folder of Dropbox. Do however mandatorily unzip the file into the folder of Dropbox! Dropbox will automatically synchronize it between all computers on which it is installed.
You can rename the extracted file. I've named min "Internet", and the downloaded calendar for the purpose of the article I named "PROBA". Now we have to ask for the Rainlendar calendar to use the shared calendar. It is very easy, here is how we do it: right click and press "Options" | 2019-04-20T02:22:50 | http://www.grreporter.info/en/personal_cloud_first_step_towards_virtual_office/4456 |

In this study, the reinforcement of wooden beams with fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) for restorative and constructive purposes was investigated. Two application-oriented processes were developed and evaluated for the production of static as well as dynamic highly stressed fiber reinforced wood composites (FRWC). For that purpose, spruce wood (Picea abies Karst.) was reinforced with carbon fiber and basalt fiber rovings and the static short-run behavior was tested by a four-point bending test. The results show a significant increase in bending stiffness (66%) and bending strength (54%) even for a small degree of reinforcement (3% and 6% by cross section). A parametric simulation model of the four-point bending test was established to predict the bending stiffness as well as to simulate both material and geometry parameters. The simulated and experimental results show good correlations.

Mix together with drained pasta and add to a large 9×12 baking dish. Add cream and feta and mozzarella cheese and remaining Greek Seasoning.
Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally so pasta on top doesn’t get dry. Sauce will thicken and cheese will melt. | 2019-04-26T15:50:45 | https://hollieshobbies.wordpress.com/tag/beef/ |
A KENSTAR washing machine (laundry machine, clothes washer, or washer) is a machine to wash laundry, such as clothing and sheets. The term is mostly applied only to machines that use water as opposed to dry cleaning (which uses alternative cleaning fluids, and is performed by specialist businesses) or ultrasonic cleaners. KENSTAR washing entails immersing, dipping, rubbing, or scrubbing in water usually accompanied by detergent, or bleach. The simplest machines may simply agitate clothes in water while switched on; automatic machines may fill, empty, wash, spin, and heat in a cycle. Most KENSTAR washing machines remove substantial amounts of water from the laundry at the end of a wash cycle, but do not completely dry it. | 2019-04-26T14:12:45 | http://www.dialandsearch.com/washing-machine-repair-bangalore/kenstar/ |
In today’s lifestyle, we tend to do almost everything indoors if possible, even exercising.
From indoor tracks to treadmills we seem to be trying to limit our outdoors activities more and more.
With that being said, there will always be some great things that running outdoors will be able to offer us that we just can’t do indoors.
So for this article, I’ll be covering some of my favorite outdoor running perks for you.
There’s nothing like go for a run when it feels great outdoors.
Yes, even better than watching your show on a treadmill.
There is something freeing about just being able to start running and venture into new territory or just taking in nature itself.
Indoor tracks can be great for those rainy days or during winter but let’s face it, seeing the same walls round after round gets old pretty quick.
I challenge you to go out for a run, especially now that the weather is starting to get nice and see if you don’t enjoy it much more than being stuck indoors.
When running outdoors you’re most likely not staying on an exact flat surface the entire time. There are usually dips, hills and just a variety of landscapes you’ll be growing throughout there.
This helps keep the body guessing and also increases the overall difficulty of the run which causes your body to burn more calories.
I’m not saying go out and do a tough mudder type of difficulty run but just running up a hill going up a few feet can cause this.
This technically can be done on a treadmill nowadays with all of their different settings but for those who don’t prefer treadmills then you’d be out of luck because indoor tracks are usually just flat services.
As we mentioned in our first point about enjoying outdoor running more, well there have been studies to show that this actually results in a better overall mindset boost.
Here is a good quote from an article that goes over some of these benefits I mentioned.
Of course, this may not be for everyone, especially for those who don’t live in the safest of places but this is something to keep a thought on for if you’re trying to decide between indoor or outdoor running.
If you’re mainly one who just prefers to do cardio then you can save money from not having to pay for a gym membership for around 75% of the year.
I’m not a huge fan of running or actually doing anything in cold weather so if you don’t mind going out for a jog in January then more power to you.
What a lot of people will do is either buy themselves a treadmill for in their house to use during those cold and rainy days or just join a gym for a few months.
Either way is a great way to find yourself saving some money that you would be spending on a gym membership.
Another great thing about getting out for a run is the chance to meet new people.
I have found that when I meet people out running they are more eager to strike up a conversation with you compared to those doing cardio inside the gym.
Most of the time I’ve got my headphones in and don’t look to chat but every once in a while I’ll run into someone who is catching their breath around the same time as me, which we strike up a quick conversation.
I’ve met some pretty cool people during my runs and even gotten a few dates.
If you prefer to be left alone during your run, then I completely get it, so just throw on your music and keep trucking away.
For a lot of folks to take pride in being in shape, they also enjoy having a good overall tan.
This tends to lean more for the ladies but I myself try to take off my shirt and get a little tan as well when I’m running.
Other than just getting a tan, you’re also getting Vitamin D from the sunlight which can go with what we’re talking about above on the mental benefits of running outside.
This can also lead to saving, even more, money if you’re one to go to the tanning beds to get your tan on.
As you can see there is a good amount of benefits to trading in the indoors for the outdoors for your run.
I only covered a few of the benefits and there are plenty more on top of the ones I mentioned.
Even though there are lots of positive things about outdoor running there is still plenty of reasons why one would choose doing their cardio indoors.
In the end, it all comes down to figuring out which is better for you, so just try to outweigh the pros and cons of each to see which you like better.
You also don’t have to choose 100% between the two. It can be nice to mix things up which is what I find myself doing depending on my mood or how the weather is acting.
I hope this article has helped give you some insight into outdoor running in general. If you have any thoughts on which is better or why you prefer indoor over outdoor, vice versa then let me know in the comments.
I always like to see others opinions on why they prefer certain types of fitness over others.

Fill a very large pot three-quarters full with water and bring to a boil. Add the collard greens to the water and make sure they are all well submerged. Return the water to a boil and simmer until the greens are tender and bright green, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain the greens and run under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain the greens well, squeezing out excess water with your hands or by placing in a kitchen towel and squeezing. Chop the greens finely and set aside.
Melt the butter in a skillet or Dutch oven large enough to hold all of the greens. Add the garlic and shallots and cook over medium heat until softened but not browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Add the cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally. Cook until reduced by half, about 25 minutes - watch carefully as the cream can quickly boil over! Add the greens and toss until warmed through. Season generously with nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add to a serving dish and sprinkle with the Parmesan. | 2019-04-20T21:53:25 | https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/patrick-and-gina-neely/creamed-collard-greens-recipe-1937817 |
Hi, I am looking for some suggestions on my final decision.
I have received my PhD offers in Astronomy/Astrophysics at SIfA, the University of Sydney and at IfA, University of Hawai'i at Manoa.
The stipend amount is not a concern, Hawaii gives 30+k(TA/RA dependent) while Sydney gives 26k(RTP scholarship as personal funding, no TA required). Hawaii is more expensive in living though.
I have visited both schools in the past and I am fine with living in both places. Of course, I have certain pro-life reasons to prefer Sydney: I am Australian, my partner will be doing her PhD in Astronomical instrumentation at Sydney, we can complete our PhD in 3-4 years(no classes or qualifiers) etc. I am astronomy majored and I have seriously no interest in taking more classes, Hawaii can provide quite the same which it has its MS very focused in doing research projects and simple classes.
My partner she would love to have me come to Sydney but she is okay with Hawaii if it is important for my career.
So cutting out all non-academic reasons, which school would be relatively better in academic development? Hawaii has all the best optical telescopes and a very strong faculty in exoplanets and galaxies(Brent Tully, if you know the Tully-Fisher relation), while the PhD project I have submitted for Sydney focuses on using radio astronomy instruments which is very strong in Australia. Will choosing Sydney be a terrible choice for my career?
If you don't know Sydney, could anyone point out just how Hawaii PhD education really ranks in the US, apart from all the telescopes advantage.
I think you have described the main (research) advantages of the two schools very well. I am studying exoplanets and I was originally going to consider the IfA at Hawaii for a postdoc but then everyone I would have wanted to work with left Hawaii. However, they are hiring *two* new faculty members right now, probably at least one exoplanets person, so I think it will be a lively place for those interested in exoplanets once again.
I think the stipend would be a concern at Hawaii though. People there say that 30k isn't really enough. I have heard that some of the reasons the *faculty* members are leaving is because they aren't paid enough to be able to afford a home etc. (But this is just what I've heard). Travelling from Hawaii to other places is also very expensive and requires long journeys.
But since you are asking about academic reasons here, I think the biggest question you would have to answer (don't have to say it here if you don't want to) is what you want to study and where you want to work in the future.
If you are interested in a North American postdoc/future academic position, then I think you are better off in Hawaii, where you will be better connected to the North American astronomical community. In addition, the short PhD program in Australia (and other places) will put you at a major disadvantage for North American academic jobs compared to US graduates. Not having classes in your PhD program will put you at a disadvantage as well, unless you have a Masters in Australia. The US has a weird (to me, since I'm Canadian) system! However, if Australia is like Canada where you get a MSc before a PhD, then you would probably be okay. The point is that you need to have some solid background beyond the undergraduate level in Astronomy and having breadth would be really important for long term job success in North America.
In addition, if you are interested in exoplanets, optical/IR observational astronomy, or a career in something like a telescope operator, support astronomer, etc. then you would be much better off at Hawaii.
On the other hand, if you're not interested in leaving Australia in the long term, then I am not sure there is much advantage to choosing Hawaii. I would check out the departments you might want to work at in Australia and see where those people got their PhDs or did postdocs. When I think of Australia, I think of radio astronomy and I know tons of North American radio astronomers move to Australia to have the best possible postdoc for their career. So, if you are heading in this direction for your astronomical career, then I think Sydney is a great choice.
You asked about how Hawaii ranks in the US but without the telescopes? I don't think that's a fair question to ask because the resources available to students at a school is probably one of the most important factors in determining how strong/good the school is for the student. In my opinion, the main (academic) reason for an astronomer to choose to go to Hawaii for a PhD is to have the amazing telescope access. I'm not at Hawaii but at another US school with amazing telescope access and it has really helped my career. It has allowed me to do interesting projects because we are the only people with the ability to do what we are doing.
Anyways, my opinion is that you have two good options and I think you would have to think about what your long term goals are in order to make the best decision for yourself. I think both these schools could be the right choice, but they will lead you towards different career paths, so choose wisely!

Thanks! I suppose you mean 'exoplanet-everyone' as in Andrew Howard? Yeah talking about Hawaii without the telescopes is a little bit unfair.
I don't know how much will classes mean in my resume, because most of my undergrad deparment's junior and senior year classes are taught with the first year and second year masters. So our curriculum pretty much covers most of the graduate class education and its in China so I am pretty much done with all the maths and physics (don't ask me why I ended up taking the whole Chinese college entrance exam, I thought Chinese education was good), and research is pretty much a DIY learning process, my professors suggest that I will probably do fine.
I suppose it is a matter of interest in research then. It sometimes makes me feel narrowing myself up after knowing all those different fields of research, I've done X-ray astronomy and asteroseismology with Kepler (with a mix of exoplanets) in the past few years, and I have no idea what the outcome will be when I graduate. X-ray is kinda in the mess right now and I haven't got a school to do that any more, but my focus was on large catalogue transients so that pretty much fits with Sydney's work except it is in radio.
PS. Sydney's department is great, the Sydney Institute for Astronomy has quite a lot of famous professors such as Joss Bland-Hawthorn, Elain Sadler and Tim Bedding. The detailed program I proposed was to complete a large transient Survey using radio telescopes and novel data mining. | 2019-04-20T22:52:52 | http://www.physicsgre.com/viewtopic.php?p=52890& |

I’m trying to get back into Revised to get ready for an upcoming tournament but I’m pretty rusty. What’s the meta on German Openings looking like these days?
I haven’t played Revised in a while (moved on to G40 like most people), but when I did everyone seemed to love dropping a Carrier in the Baltic G1 (to delay the UK Fleet for a bit).
Is this still the norm, or have their been major developments in the last 6 or so years?
hi! noone has answerd, so I would reccomend reading MarineIguanas posts in the thread. I have played a lot of games on BGO and can with confidence say that it is a very good answer.
Hi. Thanks for the reply!
Anyway, I’m going to quote MarineIguana here and ask a few questions with the hopes that either he or you can answer.
This is almost certainly more advice than you are looking for. I’m going to give you the secret for playing near perfectly as Germany. This is tried and tested against the best Revised Axis and Allies players in the world across more than 500 games.
Well that’s different right off the bat. From what I’m read in terms of tournament reports for this other tournament they’ve been giving the Allies a +3 bid for the last two or so years. I think the difference is that online Revised games are played under LHTR, while this tournament is on a stricter time limit (4 hours, 30 minutes which roughly translates to about 5-6 turns depending on how fast people are playing).
That being said if the meta at this tournament is just outright flawed I can probably take advantage of that.
The opening is what I’ve used as my standard for years now, so I’m assuming that any intelligent opponent I face will be using it (it’s the only way to not end up with Germany stacking Ukr. and winning with relative ease iirc).
One rough thing about all of this is that the tournament I’m prepping for is 100% luck (So someone can play perfectly and still lose because RNG). No tech though so that part is fine.
I’m assuming your goal is to maximize your probability of winning against an opponent.
More like holding on to at some group of Egypt/W. Europe/E. Europe/Ukr/Norway for 5 turns while Japan captures an equal or greater amount of Sink/India/Novo/Australia/Hawaii but same difference really.
The most common mistake I see with Germany players is that they think they’re on the offensive. In reality, Germany is a very defensive country that receives allied pressure, while Japan pressures Russia.
I remember when I was a noob and bought 8 tanks/turn as Germany. 2004 was a simpler time for sure.
1. buy almost all infantry. I usually spend 90+% of my germany IPC buying only infantry for the first 15-30 rounds. Eventually, Germany gets to a point where it can stack 3 territories with over 80 units each. This makes it difficult for UK to land and support Russia past round 30.
2. Prefer to attack and stack territories. This means moving a large force of units in an attack, so that the opponent can’t counter. Axis and Allies is inherently a zero-sum game, so you win by accumulating profit through income or battles. Generally, the most profitable battles are: attacking & stacking > trading efficiently > attack & retreat > doing nothing > trading inefficiently.
3. Try to keep Germany strong. It’s okay to make large trades against Russia, but avoid large trades with UK or USA unless it’s for a large profit. The most common way I win against top allies is to accumulate stacks of 100+ infantry as Germany. Japan accumulates as well around Persia. By round 30-40, Japan has 300+ units and eventually forces Allies off Russia.
While all of these points are valid that all aspiring A&A players should memorize, the rules of this tournament don’t give enough time to play out 100+ round slugfests, although the idea sounds pretty fun/masochistic. Reminds me of the Classic games I’d spend weeks playing after I read those papers on Inf stacking back in the day.
Standard buy for germany is 10 inf, 2 tanks.
This was already my build so that makes me happy.
Can you pull this off reliably with just 1 SUB, 2 FTR in a 100% luck scenario?
EDIT: I JUST MADE A HUUUUUGE MISTAKE!!!
The other fighter (from Balkans, as the Ukr one usually dies in the R1 Ukr attack) that can reach is needed for sz15. If you attack sz15, there’s a 15% chance the battle goes badly where the battleship transport needs to retreat or battleship gets traded against uk destroyer. If either scenario happens, the game is effectively over against a top player. I prefer not to auto-lose 15% of my games as axis.
Am I to assume everything else is being sent to Karelia? How much am I leaving in E. Europe to Deadzone Ukr? What’s the practical advantage of stacking Karelia over trying to hold Ukr reliably? Is it the potential to deadzone Norway (slowing Allied progress in a KGF)?
All fine, aside from my gripes over Karelia. What do you do if the USSR stacks Ukr R2? Germany can’t really attack W. Rus. (Since the stack in Ukr and the spawned units in Caucasus and Moscow can all dive on it.), and if you try to charge Archangel Russia has enough time to shift enough forces to Moscow to force the Germans back to Karelia. So at that point you’re just handing the Soviets Ukr for free, unless I’m missing something.
I’m not trying to come off as an elitist of A&A pro by any means, I’m just rusty and don’t know how to dynamic of the Eastern front as evolved over time.
By the way, what is BGO? I’ve only ever played A&A using TripleA.
I’ll give it a shot then! Maybe this tournament will be super easy after all!!
I agree with you in not stacking Karelia with Germany. It seems absurd to me. Was I reading MarineIguana’s advice wrong? He seemed to be advocating stacking Karelia on G1.
hi! Yeah, I think Marine is right.
There are two russian openers.
1. Only do W russia and stack it. Buy 3 inf and 3 Tanks.
2. Do W Russia and Ukraine.
If USSR does 1, you can’t stack Kareila, if he does 2, then you can stack karelia.
I think 2 is better for russia, but 1 is not uncommon, because it prevents stacking karelia.
I have my doubt about taking Ukrain in R1. So far I’ve not been lucky with this move! It cost me much more than i get for it! I wonder whether it is worth the risk! Why trading 2 tanks for this tank and fighter? The value of a russian tank seem much highter to me than a german one or even a fighter early game. I seem to be much better with Russia if i take WR and Belo Russia! Russia in my game is very well able to hold off Germany and Japan in the early game, until the Allies arrive!
I usually buy 2 INF/2 ART/2 TANK to make up for the tanks I’m losing by going into Ukr.
I switch to more INF-focused builds after R1, of course.
To me, any German FTR that I can take out is one less FTR that can go after UK’s navy. The less Germany has to throw at the UK Navy, the faster the UK can start landing (or threatening to land) troops in Norway/E Europe/Karelia/W Europe. And once UK starts forcing Germany to pull troops to guard those territories, the USSR will see a good chunk of weight lifted from its shoulders (meaning it can afford to send troops to India/Sink/kill Germany/whatever).
R1 I get 3 inf 3 tank.
That 3rd ftr is needed to schirmish on a 3 area front. USSR should in general have more tanks and less inf. The tanks are good because they can stand in w russia, and threathen any japanese stack apporaching. that will buy you a couple of extra turns at least.
The thing is: i have no problem putting any pressure on Germany when i don’t do Ukrain R1. For a couple of rounds Russia can keep agressive. I would buy 2 tanks R1. 1 FGT R2 and 1 tank in later rounds. With my 4 starting tanks i have a very potent force. In UK2 or 3 i start landing in Norway to support Russia. I don’t see how 6 fighters can stop me there. The ships in the mediteranean Sea are lost to me! The uk home fleet is quite save in the first turn. I use it as a base for my future fleet. Uk1 I build a carrier to expand the fleet. If all german units position to strike my fleet i buy more defence, or i combine with the US first! I position myself to strike the Baltic fleet at some point. After that it is not worth loosing the fighters at a sea battle that will cost the UK a few transports at most.
In the mid game Germany is focused mainly on landings from the Allies. Then Russia is starting to fight off the Japanese with his tanks. Russia has an income of around 26 IPC with which it can survive the mid game easily. End game he will be under great pressure from Japan! But if the Allies have normal luck and do nothing stupid, Germany is dead or close to it!
So my conclusion so far is that you sacrifice russian tanks for a chance on a german fighter, that would harm the UK a little bit. But the UK can counter this with a buy of an extra ship. In my philosophy that trade off is not so optimal.
The thing is: i have no problem putting any pressure on Germany when i don’t do Ukrain R1.
How do you keep the initiative if you’re letting the Germans escape Ukr G1? On G1 Germany can just withdraw the bulk of its forces to a E. Europe stack and start trading Ukr. while easily overwhelming the Allies in North Africa and ferrying a decent stream of units through the Middle East to ensure that India is securely in Japanese hands by J3. If you’re just sitting in Caucasus/W. Rus trading Ukr you’re giving Germany a free hand to do whatever they want elsewhere.
For a couple of rounds Russia can keep aggressive. I would buy 2 tanks R1.
1 FGT R2 and 1 tank in later rounds.
I agree with the 1 TANK/turn philosophy (to keep a mobile and offensive-capable army on the board at all times), but I don’t agree with the FTR on R2. I understand that you can feasibly snipe the Mediterranean Fleet with 3 FTR (or at least sink the transport) but if a competent Germany scouts a lack of land units what’s stopping them from pouncing on Ukr, Arch or W. Rus with everything (which in turn forces Russia to bring everything to the German front, giving the Japanese a free hand to take Sink/India/Persia).
With my 4 starting tanks i have a very potent force. In UK2 or 3 i start landing in Norway to support Russia. I don’t see how 6 fighters can stop me there.
Germany can either subsist without Norway or simply deadzone it by stacking Ukr. It’s going to take a decently large stack of Transports to pull together a large enough force to actively hold Norway.
The point of the FTR cloud isn’t to actually kill the UK Fleet (It can’t do that cost-efficiently), but to force the Fleet to remain in one place at a time (if any transports split off from the main fleet to land in far away places the FTRs and Bomber can easily wipe them out with a pretty minimal chance of a loss).
UK amphibs into Norway, taking 2 INF/2 ART. They kill a lone INF defender without losses.
Germany sends 3 INF + 6 FTR + 1 Bomber to attack Norway (a bit of a reach, but it’s for the sake of the example so bear with me here).
Under low luck, UK gets 1 hit and a 1/3 chance at a second (INF and ART defend on a 2, 24=8, 8/6 = 1 + 1/3). Germany will get 4 hits under low luck (31 + 63 + 14 = 25, 25/6 = 4 + 1/6).
So Germany will one-shot 14 IPCs worth of material while losing 9 overall (I’m assuming that the 1-2 INF that survive will die on the following British turn when they commit another landing party). That’s pretty good value if you ask me, especially if UK is committing 100% to Europe (and losing 7+ IPCs between India/Persia/Trans-Jordan/Egypt).
The ships in the mediteranean Sea are lost to me! The uk home fleet is quite save in the first turn. I use it as a base for my future fleet. Uk1 I build a carrier to expand the fleet. If all german units position to strike my fleet i buy more defence, or i combine with the US first! I position myself to strike the Baltic fleet at some point.
What’s your timetable for killing the Baltic, out of curiosity?
I usually try to have it dead by B2 (you can do it with a B1 FTR+Destroyer+Trans build).
Sometimes you have to delay until B3 if Germany goes with a naval opening, but in those kinds of games an aggressive USSR can usually win on its own.
After that it is not worth loosing the fighters at a sea battle that will cost the UK a few transports at most.
I agree, but remember the whole point of the pressure is to force the UK player to spend turns investing in a navy. This buys Germany much needed time to stack aggressively in the USSR’s direction, forcing them to keep their men focused on the Germans and giving Japan time to get its IPC levels up to snuff with the Allies/put a drain on the Soviet and British Economies.
But you’ve never inflicted a serious loss on German hardware in this scenario. All Germany has to do is build heavy INF stacks all day (with the occasional Tank thrown in to harass the Soviets), and the Allies are going to take an awfully long time to start hurting Germany.
Additionally, if Russia is sending 5-10 IPCs of Tanks East every turn what’s stopping Germany from moving the E Europe stack into Ukr and putting the Russians in a desperate situation (guarding Caucasus and W. Rus simultaneously).
TripleA gives the Soviets an 85% chance to win with, on average, both FTRs and a lone tank surviving.
So value-wise USSR loses 23 IPC (everything but the FTR) while the Germans lose 28. A USSR win no matter how you split it.
It seems like a narrow advantage but remember the USSR gets 3 of those IPCs back by virtue of taking Ukr.
I think you might be too defensive as the allies. I have quite a few games as the allies and rarely lose.
The reason for doing ukraine is simple. You save british fleet and can lock down the med fast. That German fighter is very important in the med and africa on G1.
Depending on the result of G1, should should have some very good options on UK1. I will assume germany did place 2 units in libya, sent the med fleet with 1 ftr to 15, while sending 1 inf + 1 art from italy and 1 bomber to egypt.
Germany will most likely have taken egypt and have about 4 landunits left. he will have 5 ftrs and 1 bomber (instead of 6 fighters and 1 bomber). Where germany has placed these 5 fighters is very important. Usually, germany will not be able to place all of the fighters in france/Libya.
I reccomend uk build in this situation of 1 ftr, 5 inf and 1 tank.
You can hit egypt with 2 inf from india, 1 from TJ, 1 ftr from india and 1 bomber from uk. This attack will usually kill every german unit there, and you will quite often have an inf left to take the terr. You can at the same time send your entire UK fleet to morocco. If US sends its fleet to help you, you will have a situation where germany only have 1 inf and 1 art in africa. while you will have 2 UK inf and 2 tank in morocco and 2 us inf, 1 us art and 1 us tank. Your fleet of morocco will be: 1 UK BB, 2 UK TT, 1 US DD, 2 US TT and 1 ussr sub. At this point The german fighterposition is vitally important. If he can reach with 4 ftrs and 1 bomber, you are safe, if he has 5 ftrs and 1 bomber, this move does not work.
At this point, the german position in africa is misrable. he has 2 landunits, you have 8, you will continue to shufle landunits down there until you have enough UK fleet to switch to the north. Those landunits will run as fast as they can to caucasuss, (you can ususally get between 10 and 30 landunits through before japan holds persia).
So, If you kill that ukrainian fitr, you will get one more round of reinforcements to caucasus and lock down africa on UK1. I have done this soo many times, and this is standard play among top players. The one wrench here is the german baltic fleet. A lot of germans will send it out on G1 to prevent this move. You have to be aware of it and calculate your fleet.
I think you have me backwards. I’m an advocate of striking Ukr. on R1. I do not like Russian Openings where you let Ukr. go.
I agree with you for the exact reasons you’ve stated.
Germany can easily place 4 FTRs in France and 1 FTR/1 BOMBER in Libya.
I’m more for a Navy build (1 DD/1 TT/1 FTR) on B1. I don’t build land units because I ferry the tank from Canada to UK and simply land 1 INF in Norway, supported by the air units UK starts with (1 INF/1 ART if the Germans left more than 1 INF there to defend). That way I have the spawn units to fill my transport fleet next turn for a harder landing somewhere.
time send your entire UK fleet to morocco. If US sends its fleet to help you, you will have a situation where germany only have 1 inf and 1 art in africa. while you will have 2 UK inf and 2 tank in morocco and 2 us inf, 1 us art and 1 us tank. Your fleet of morocco will be: 1 UK BB, 2 UK TT, 1 US DD, 2 US TT and 1 ussr sub. At this point The german fighterposition is vitally important. If he can reach with 4 ftrs and 1 bomber, you are safe, if he has 5 ftrs and 1 bomber, this move does not work.
You don’t even have to do that if you buy the fleet I suggest and move the Russian Sub to SZ6 (the one right next to the Baltic) on R2.
UK would lose the fleet to that attack but Germany only comes out with an average of 2 FTR. This means that Germany is effectively losing a large share of its air force to kill a fleet that the UK will happily rebuild on the very next turn.
In most games I’ve played Germany just uses the Medi fleet to snipe Ukr.
Are you sure the shuttle of troops from UK -> N. Africa -> Caucasus is the best option? Every turn you’re not threatening Europe is another turn Germany has to setup giant stacks and/or stack Ukraine.
I agree with these yes. Although if Germany sails its fleet out you can easily intercept and destroy it with the SZ2 Fleet (The BB and the TT) + the 2 FTRs.
Yes this delays your fleet uniting with the Americans but if you build navy B1 and move the Soviet sub to link up with the British R2 the combined fleet can easily repulse the 4 FTR/ 1 BOMBER Germany can send your way.
Wait, you’re really happy to trade Britain’s 1 BB / 1 DD / 3 TT for Germany’s 2 SS / 2 FTR?
Aside from the fact that you are trading 60 British TUV for 36 German TUV, if Germany positions the rest of its air force properly, then it can hit Britain’s next fleet with a minimum of 3 FTR / 1 BMR, or more if Germany built a new plane (not unreasonable when you know you’re ordering an immediate attack on the Royal Navy). What can Britain put in the water with one round of income that can stand up to that kind of follow-up attack?
Very rarely will I see a good player build a destroyer.
Hi all. Sorry for not replying in a while I’ve been busy with work and University.
On second thought that’s a horrible idea! Should probably have thought that through a little more before posting.
What would you say the optimal B1 buy/fleet move is, then? I know it’s a bit off-topic but I’ve only just started playing Revised again and haven’t had the most time to practice.
What do you propose UK buy instead of turn 1, then? A CV (landing the spawn FTRs on it for a decently rock-solid defense)?
I only ask because, while I understand that transport balls are the best option for naval combat, the initial UK Fleet is pretty lacking in terms of punching power (1 BB + 2 TT).
Even if you buy 3 TT (for a total of 1 BB + 5 TT), it’s still going to take another turn or two before that fleet will be able to get anywhere near the European coast.
no, Germany has 5 ftr and 1 bomber after you hit Ukraine. He has a good chance of loosing at least 1 ftr either against the UK BB, or the or against the uk DD in the med.
You are wasting an entire turn of the allies by not attacking on UK1.
I misremembered. The sub should block the german fleet if there is anything left of it after UK1, however, if germany have put their entire fleet outside france on G1, you will not be able to stop germany from adding the vital subs as fodder for the Gibraltar attack. This is why you need to look at the german position before you decide if you want to put your fleet at gibraltar.
Buying DDs is always bad. TTs are amazing combatunits in this game. Try running a combatsim with fighters against 1 BB and TTs, find out how many you need. It is alot. The DDs are really not worth the extra factor.
Yes :), but not through the entire game.
Round 1-5ish is when you ship to africa. Then, at some point, you swich uk to Norway. You will have saved up some cash and might buy the needed carrier when you do. At some point, you will no longer have a landrout to cauc. At this point, you should have at least 80 americans between morocco and cauc, and about 10 TTs. Then you move all of your TTs to the med, and start landing 20 units/ round in the weakest spot you can find on the mainland. At the same time, uk will round 10 units per round, germany will collapse like a house of cards. I have done this countless times against good players (this is what happens when you win against them).
This is why you look at the map. most germans are not set up for it. To be set up for it, they need to not land in egypt on G1, or they need to move their baltic fleet out on G1, and have it survive against your UK airforce. Otherwise, you can block the baltic fleet with a uk subbuild, and the medfleet will be out of range. On, US2, you will send in the DD and the 3 extra TTs you built (if germany build navy on G1, you might build an american carrier on US1 to seal the deal), and after that, the game is up. Germany will never be strong enough to kill your fleet.
If you bring 3 FTR + 1 SUB (the one from SZ8) against the 1 UK BB, the chances of you getting hit twice in that battle are absurdly low. The BB would need to hit you twice in a row (4/9 chance), while you would have to fail to get two hits in the first round of combat. The chances are better for this.
-There a 6^4 (1296) possible combos of dice you can roll for 4 attackers.
-Of those, there are 18 * 36 = 648 combos where you get two hits.
648/1296 = 1/2 chance to get two hits.
4/9 * 1/2 = a 2/9 (~22%) chance of losing two units to the battleship.
(< 5%) chance of losing the FTR.
So there’s a believable chance you’ll lose one FTR in all of that, and wind up with a 3 FTR stack in W. Europe instead of a 4 FTR stack, but the odds of losing 2 FTRs in the opening sorties are laughable.
I figured the attack on Egypt was implied. Not retaking Egypt turn 1 is tantamount to suicide.
I fail to see the point in dumping an entire army in Europe, which would leave the fleet vulnerable to a counterattack and force the allies to waste 2-3 turns rebuilding both a fleet AND a land army. A good Germany will use those breather turns to win the game.
That’s two of you know that have pointed out that DDs are a bad buy. I’ve looked into it a bit and I’m starting to think that a CV buy B1 might be the best bet for not dying to the German Fleet (it helps to be able to land two FTRs on it to basically give yourself 36 IPCs worth of defense for a 16 IPC investment). Thanks for the advice. Correct me if I’m wrong on the CV though.
Ahh, I see. I think my problem here is that this is a face-to-face tournament played under time controls (that’s how I’ve been practicing, too), so I won’t be able to employ the safer strategies in the strict (5 hour) time limit I’ll have to get into a good position. That would probably explain why I haven’t considered the slower strategies that both you and MarineIguana suggested.
I played a practice game with this strategy earlier today (and had the Soviets focus on turtling) and the Allies won handily, although it took an exceedingly long time to do so.
As always, thanks for the advice.
I usually land in africa until my pacific fleet makes it to the atlantic. then I split and send uk into norway and start landing in the americans in europe the round after that.
I understand that TTs are the best ship economy-wise, but I believe that a CV may be an extremely cost-efficient buy for the first turn only (because you have the two FTRs in UK that can land on the carrier no problem). Later in the game the CV would become extremely cost-inefficient, of course (you’re paying 16 for a 1 HP 3 DEF when you could be spending that same 16 IPC for 2 HP of 1 DEF that can also transport units).
Do you advocate sending the Indian Fleet south? What do you do about the TT in SZ59? When I used to play Revised/42/42SE I always remember going out of my way to eliminate it (as forcing Japan to buy more TTs is a good way to buy the allies precious time).
Uh! And why not equip them with a pre-emptive shot and the capabilities to carry a fighter? I like Transports also!!! TRN is the more important unit after the infantry (that is the more important unit overall in the game) because they are able to transport the more important unit of the game, the infantry! But… my TRN do not difend as Jen TRN do, they insist in scoring between 2 and 4!
I do agree that beginners should stick to the London factory. It does require skill pulling off the india IC. But It just depends on how you and your allies play the game. If each of you are gonna do your own thing, the game will certainly be over quicker than usual. Thats the key…… Teamwork and persistance. Control the game by limiting the enemy of options. Do this and you’ll win no matter who you are.
Under item #2 allied fighters cannot be allocated as a hit allocation because they are not rolling on the attack so they are ignored. Also, Under item #1 if your carrier is defending and has fighters from allied players they can be allocated as hits on defence and roll out as well. of course some of this is totally bogus and is totally unrealistic.but oh well.
If i build an IC in a captured territory, and I lose that territory, and another ally takes it over, its now their IC. Thats not even a question, I just feel its the answer to one of the next ones to be asked. | 2019-04-24T13:09:21 | https://www.axisandallies.org/forums/topic/28972/g1-builds-opening |

With a name that means “original source,” Pilsner Urquell has staked its claim as the world’s first Pilsner, and it remains one of the country’s favourite producers. However, even many locals don’t know that there are actually two varieties of Pilsner Urquell available on draught here: the regular kind sold throughout Europe, and a special, unpasteurised version sold only in the Czech Republic at special “tank” pubs which forego kegs for high-volume tanks. Without pasteurisation, the rich malt body is far sweeter and the bitter Saaz hops are decidedly sharper and more fragrant.

Net asset value reveals the percentage of a hedge fund's capital not claimed by liabilities.
Choosing the right hedge fund to invest in can be a daunting challenge, but savvy investors use a variety of tools to compare the relative strength of different funds. Net asset value is one such tool that provides insight into the true value of different funds at different times. To calculate net asset value on a hedge fund, you must first choose a calculation method, then determine the fund's total assets and liabilities.
The question of when to calculate asset values in a hedge fund can cause some confusion, but determines the method used. If a fund trades assets on multiple exchanges around the world, one exchange may be closed while two or three others are open. Because of this, asset values in some parts of the fund's portfolio will always be in flux. Some investors use the final asset values at the end of each region's respective trading day for the calculation, while others use the values from all holdings at a chosen moment in time.
Hedge funds hold a variety of assets in various states of liquidity, including stocks, currencies, options contracts and bonds. Hedge funds seeking new investors should provide in-depth information on their current holdings. When you are ready to calculate the asset values, according to your chosen method, multiply the quantity of each individual holding by its market value at that time to determine each holding's current value. Add all of the results together to determine the total asset value.
Hedge funds incur the same types of liabilities as other businesses, including debt payments, interest accumulation, salaries expenses and overhead. Add all of these expenses together to calculate the fund's total liabilities, keeping your chosen time frame in mind. Since net asset value provides a snapshot of value at a moment in time, only calculate current liabilities, including current payments of long-term debt.
The Securities and Exchange Commission defines net asset value for an investment business as the difference between the company's total assets and liabilities. Use the following formula as a reference for your calculations: Net Asset Value = Total Assets - Total Liabilities The larger the net asset value as a percentage of total assets,the more efficient the fund is at maximizing profit while keeping costs low. A higher total also indicates that a fund has more capital to invest, allowing it to earn larger returns. | 2019-04-19T18:54:42 | https://finance.zacks.com/calculate-net-asset-value-hedge-fund-10407.html |

Key Words: Invasive alien plants (IAPs), Native plants, Anthropogenic activities.
J. Bio. Env. Sci. 13(1), 337-346, July 2018.
A growing problem for the vast extents of diverse tropical forests in the Philippines are degraded every year due to booming population and introduction of invasive alien plants (IAPs). This study aimed to (1) assess the effects of anthropogenic activities on the propagation of IAPs; (2) identify the resident’s purpose of utilizing IAPs; (3) identify the least and most invasive life forms in response to anthropogenic activities that are present in highly disturbed (Site 1) and less disturbed sites (Site 2) of Mt. Manunggal, Cebu Island, Philippines. Both sites were sampled by establishing four quadrats per transect and tallying each plant per quadrat to identify its total abundance per species last October-November, 2016. Residents were interviewed to identify utilization of IAPs and to show the relationship of human activities in the promotion of IAPs in the area. Linear regression test showed that as anthropogenic activities increased, high patronization of the IAPs were also observed in Site 1 and Site 2. High IAP consumption was enough to address the immediate needs of the residents which in turn exacerbate the spread and establishment of IAPs in both sites. At present levels, grasses and herbs were seen to be the most invasive life forms with largest impact in Site 1 and Site 2. The direct relationship between anthropogenic activities and IAPs could result in a dramatic rise of alien plant species, and may thus intensify risks of impacts on native plant species and communities.

PowerShares Capital Management last month announced the first exchange-traded fund (ETF) to provide direct exposure to a diversified portfolio of Indian securities. The PowerShares India Portfolio, with symbol PIN, was set to begin trading in late February on NYSE Arca, an online securities exchange owned by NYSE Euronext.
“The index on which PIN is based is designed to be the proxy for investable assets into the Indian market,” says Bruce Bond, president and CEO of PowerShares, which is part of Atlanta-based Invesco. The index, compiled by Indus Advisors, is rebalanced quarterly and comprises 50 components from a universe of India-based companies listed on the National and Bombay stock exchanges.
“Because India imposes certain restrictions on foreign holdings, any investable India index must explicitly address these limits,” says Ranga Nathan, managing director of Indus Advisors. The Indus index does this using a proprietary measure of capitalization of foreign investment.
While other ETFs provide indirect exposure to Indian securities, PIN will provide direct and diversified exposure to a broad portfolio of Indian equities. The fund operates through a subsidiary in Mauritius, which has a tax treaty with India. | 2019-04-26T13:39:50 | https://www.gfmag.com/magazine/march-2008/emerging-markets-india-etf-to-trade-on-nyses-arca |

Bloodshr3d Black Magic Edition is a fat burning supplement with added stimulants that will curb your appetite and boost metabolic rate, alongside various ingredients like carnitine and raspberry ketones that have been shown to mobilise and oxidise stored body fat. It also contains ashwagandha to support mood and offset the chance of an energy crash, as well as bcaas, that help prevent muscle catabolism.
What is in this fat burner that makes it a good supplement?
This fat burner is loaded with stimulant compounds that will give you both an energy boost and will curb down your appetite.
Acetyl L-Carnitine: Helps your body transport stored body fat to your muscles so they can be used for fuel, as well as helps with mental focus.
Sophora Japonica: A flower that is rich in the flavonoid “rutin” which based on clinical studies has been shown to have positive effects on combating obesity through AMPK Activation which stimulates glucose absorption and the degeneration of fat.
Green Coffee: Made from coffee beans that are then extracted with alcohol and water. The main and active ingredient in the Green coffee extract is chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic Acid aids in lowering the absorption of fat and promotes increased metabolism.
Vanillin: Sourced from the vanilla bean this extract helps to increase metabolism, induce lipolysis and improve mood.
Pro-GBB: Helps to increase carnitine plasma levels in the body helping to transport fat to the mitochondria to be used as energy, leading to significantly more fat being burned and greater energy levels.
