Myanmar has always been a special country within Southeast Asia that I have on my bucket list, as I have heard incredible tales and stories from people who have been there, about the stunning landscape, the pagodas and most importantly the kindness of the Myanmar people. And this year, I was lucky enough to get to visit it with Cez from ETramping.
Myanmar just opened up their country to foreigners last year, and the amount of external influence/ businesses are starting to spread across the country.
Being my 1st trip to Myanmar, I would have to cover the 2 places that I always wanted to visit – Bagan for its hot air balloons scene and Inle for the surreal lake scene many who have been raved about.
There are many ways you can get around to different parts of Myanmar – by flying with some of their local domestic carriers, or taking a bus/ train across the country. We opt for the more time saving and comfortable option of flying.
Our route – we flew into Yangon from Chiang Mai via Myanmar’s very own full freight national airlines, Myanmar National Airlines, and had a very relaxing flight, perk up before touching down at Yangon in the evening. Yangon might be quite quiet in most parts of the city, but we did visit the local Hledan Market and ended with a lovely barbecue dinner at 19th street, before catching the flight the next morning into Bagan. We managed to grab a little snack at the cosy Myanmar National Airlines lounge ( me drinking the local Burmese chicken noodle soup and Cez as usual headed straight for the coffee.
Myanmar National Airlines flies to more places in Myanmar than any other airlines, and they had daily flights from Yangon ( capital city) into Bagan or Inle. I really enjoyed the inflight service, both the food and very warm smiles of the Burmese cabin crew.
The airport to fly into for Bagan would be Nyaung Yu ( NYU) Airport. It is a small old school airport but was a really interesting experience and we were too excited and eager to explore the city.
When you arrive at some of the cities, you might be required to pay a certain historical conservation tax w, and though it might seem very sudden and somewhat dodgy to do so, it is recommended you do not fight with the locals there regarding paying it. It will costs you around US$50 for 2 persons.
Being a Singaporean has its many privileges, and I am glad to say that it is not required to pre-register for a visa beforehand. However, most other nationalities would need that and you can either apply online or a personal visit to the embassy in your respective countries. Do note that if you are not flying into Yangon straight, your type of visa might experience issues at the smaller immigration offices in the country.
Taxis are relatively affordable to take to get around, just make sure to count by metre and not bargain with the staff. For us. we rented an electric scooter as it was rather affordable and the easiest way to get around.
This is where having your own electric scooter helps.
In 2017, Myanmar has banned people from climbing the pagodas and stupas in the aid to preserve them, which is incredibly sad news for tourists who really want to have a stunning aerial view of the surrounding land.
This new law caught us by surprise and we are definitely very disappointed by this piece of news. But that didn’t leave us hopeless as we were determined to find a place high enough we can catch the sunrise. We drove around the fields of dust and pagodas and then with a bit of hope yet 99% skepticism, we were informed by a local Burmese manto follow him behind his bike towards a special spot. We didn’t really trust him initially, but when we started heading a place where the general bikers were heading, our excitement grew.
Even I cannot tell you. Coz it was just one of the many hundreds of pagodas in the area. But I encourage you to ride around the main pagoda area with the below reference and try finding this incredible gem ( Notice the light movement and traffic on the road).
Below are just some printscreens of where the pagodas is roughly located.
Best of luck hunting it down!
So hence concluding my post of my visit to Bagan in Myanmar. Big thanks to Myanmar National Airlines for being a part of making our experience here in Myanmar enjoyable. Stay tuned to updates on Inle sector, which was a truly incredible river experience.
Wow, Myanmar is at the top of my bucket list. Enjoyed all your beautiful photos of Bagan! It’s encouraging to hear it’s easy to get around by air, as there are some great distances to cover between some of the sights. And the food looks amazing. Can’t wait to read your upcoming post about Inle Lake!
Myanmar is near the top of my Asia bucket list too. It just looks so enchanting and beautiful. These are some really great tips for when we finally make it. Glad to hear it’s quite easy to get around. Beautiful photos and I’d love to see those pagodas and views.
Myanmar looks like a great place to visit, I’ve heard of it – but none of my friends or family members went, so I knew little! And if you say they´ve just recently opened to strangers – it must feel like such an authentic experience! Hot air balloons over the stupas and pagodas are so stunning!
What a fabulous guide to this magical place. I have long dreamed of a trip here so will remember your excellent guide for a future adventure.
One of my best sunrise moment is actually in Bagan, even I got goosebumps cause it’s so beautiful. Agree, just go around and check any temples that looks interesting cause there are too many of them. Love Myanmar! | 2019-04-22T17:14:17 | https://www.lydiascapes.com/mysterious-myanmar-awaits/ |
The Villa Group is one of Mexico’s most well-loved, trusted and long established timeshare providers with a whopping 30 years experience in the business. The current owners and directors themselves offer 40 years experience in the industry, too, and this is why there are so many happy members. The Villa Group loves to consider itself a Mexican timeshare solution for all those who seek fabulous vacations in the sunshine.
What Makes Villa Group the best of Mexican Timeshare Solutions?
Well, for a start, when you buy a Villa Group timeshare you are not just buying the time and space. You’re getting a guarantee of quality, value for money, reliability and continuous improvement – a perfect Mexican timeshare solution. The members of the Villa Group are the life force that keep it running, and they are what ensures that this company can provide the very best vacation solutions to as many people as possible.
When you buy a Mexican timeshare with Villa Group, you know that you’re getting access to the most amazing beaches, best activities, and most stunning beauty spots all while avoiding the overcrowding and irritation of peak season. You can choose from resorts in Cancun. Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, the Riviera Nayarit and the Islands of Loreto when purchasing a Villa Group timeshare.
Another great quality that makes the Villa Group’s timeshares superior to others in Mexico is the unique and wonderful points based system that ensures all members have as much control of their vacations as possible; a great timeshare solution. You don’t buy “ fixed time” at Villa Group, you buy points that are equivalent to a certain amount of time in certain accommodations. But you can use them for shorter stays in more luxurious suites, longer stays in economical rooms and even save them for big blowouts every few years. Furthermore you can use them in isolation (a week here, a week there) or borrow some if you need to make an occasion special at the last minute. You could even use them for services and all-inclusive meal plans! The points system is a great timeshare solution that brings greater flexibility.
We would recommend always buying directly from the Villa Group as a great place to start as resale scams are the most common. This is not the only danger to face, though; there are cancellation scams, and those who will say they have a very interested buyer willing to pay big bucks for your timeshare. The most sensible thing to do is be wary of any unsolicited caller who asks a fee for introduction, cancellation or any other services, and simply buy from the salesroom itself. If for some reason you no longer wish to own your timeshare simply talk to the resort to see what your options are. | 2019-04-18T14:58:43 | https://www.vacationtimeshareresidential.com/villa-group-your-mexican-timeshare-solutions/ |
I’ll never forget the day I met her. I had no idea what I was getting into and neither did she. We didn’t talk much that first day or the next. I think she was surprised each time I showed up. I was a little surprised myself. I was not what she was used to, and she was not what I had expected. With all this going for us, we forged ahead. We thought it would never last, but it did. She was one of the most interesting and entertaining people I had ever met.
We grew to understand each other, and with understanding came respect. She was 84 and had lived her life, but it wasn’t over yet. I was 59, which is an awkward age. All the major decisions had been made and I had enjoyed the rewards of some decisions and endured the consequences of others. Life is long and life is short.
We spent our mornings together going through our routine. I fixed her breakfast, which was usually spicy sausage patties, eggs and toast with marmalade. Sometimes I could get her to take a bath before she ate, sometimes after, and sometimes not at all. She loved to give me a hard time and had some pretty compelling arguments like, “Is it cheaper to take a bath or just wash up? I have to watch my water bill you know.” We made deals like, “If you don’t take a bath today, you have to let me wash your hair tomorrow…deal?” She would have to think about that one, because she never broke a promise. If she made a deal, she followed through.
She spent much of her time fussing over her old dog Rascal and a stray cat she grew attached to. On nice mornings, she would wheel herself out onto the front porch and I would get the folding chair and sit beside her. We watched the hummingbirds drink the nectar from the feeder that hung from the big tree out front. Sometimes she fell asleep in her wheelchair, but other times she told me about her life.
She married young and had 4 children each 2 years apart. Her husband died of cancer when the youngest child was only a few weeks old. She told me she was surprised when she had the first child because her Mother told her the doctor brought the babies. I can only imagine how tough the next years were for her. She outlived 3 husbands and survived hard times, but there were good times too.
She loved to listen to country music on the radio. Her folks had barn dances when she was growing up and her Daddy played the guitar. The music took her back to those days. I love the same kind of music. We would close our eyes and listen as we thought about the memories the songs evoked.
She loved my chocolate chip cookies. Her favorite cake was strawberry. Her favorite lunch was a Spam sandwich with cheese and mayo. She loved the hot Spam with jalapenos. She taught me how to mix up cornbread without a recipe. You can tell when you have enough milk, eggs, and cornmeal by the batter. You must never stir it too much. We made fried cornmeal mush like my Grandpa Sanderson made, and ate it with butter and syrup.
Her youngest daughter and her family lived across the street. Her daughter was her Momma’s Angel. She took the responsibility of meeting all her Momma’s needs. She made doctor’s appointments, and took her to them; patiently helping her transfer from the wheelchair to the car. She prepared her suppers, which the family usually ate together. She bought her clothes and groceries, and most importantly… paid attention to her. As Mom’s and daughters do, they fussed at each other sometimes. “Don’t drag your left foot Mamma,” I’d hear her daughter say. “You’re going through too much cat food and it’s going to waste.” She was right. Cans of tuna fish were disappearing along with all the cat food. Rascal must have had an iron stomach with all the spicy spam he ate.
I went to see her a few times at the nursing home. It didn’t feel right. Maybe because those four years we spent mornings together ended more abruptly than they began. I don’t remember what we did that last day before she got so sick. She went to the hospital first, then to the nursing home. I went to see her right after she got there. She hadn’t been awake yet. She had been there for rehab several years before, after suffering from the stroke that left her partially paralyzed on her left side.
Today was day 51 of our road trip and it’s been quite a ride. We’re thankful for all of our family members and friends who welcomed us on our stops; and all those who kept up with my sporadic blogging. We had the most fun any two people traveling with three dogs and a cat can have. We’re home safe and sound. We are tired, but happy.
We spent the last few days in Galveston, TX. It was the perfect ending to our perfect RV vacation, and we got to spend it with Ron and Barbara Spahlinger. I hope they enjoyed spending time with us as much as we loved our time with them. We stayed at the Jamaica Beach RV Park right across from Jamaica Beach. Ron and Barbara have been there several times, but Kip and I had no idea what a treat we were in for. The place is beautiful and the weather was perfect. We spent time in the hot tub, and ate our way through Thanksgiving dinner at the clubhouse, followed by leftovers that evening, and a sumptuous turkey/craw fish gumbo on Friday. They have a huge outdoor movie screen, a putt putt golf course, and a swimming pool. The rates were very reasonable considering all they have to offer.
Ron is an incredibly gifted musician. He and four other talented people who go to our church, formed a group called “Jubilation 5.” Their singing is inspirational beyond belief. I’m struggling to find the words to describe just how good they are.
Ron is going to sing and facilitate karaoke at the Jamaica Beach RV Park on New Years Eve. Kip and I are going, and Ron said I can sing. Well, he said I may sing. He doesn’t know if I can sing.
Most of you don’t know this about me, but I love to sing. I express myself best through my music. I have been known to inspire multitudes of people with my unique voice and my ability to perform a wide range of musical genres. Most performers just can’t pull it off, but I guess I must be one of a kind or something. As a matter of fact, the only star I can think of in the way of comparing my talent to someone you will no doubt be familiar with.. is Ethel Mertz. She’s Lucy’s friend. Sadly, Lucy hogged the stage, so Ethel rarely got to perform at Ricky’s club.
Barbara snapped this cute picture of the dogs hanging out. They watched Ron make grilled cheese sandwiches after our four mile beach walk. Kip finally got to see a sea turtle at the park.
See the beautiful sand castle Barbara and I made? It even has a moat..okay..we didn’t exactly make it. Two little kids did, but it really does have a moat.
We went to a fun place the night before we left called “The Spot.” I just had a small salad and cheesecake. It was turtle cheesecake. Kip had key lime pie, and Barbara had an eclair. We took it “to go” and Ron made us coffee at their place.
It’s not over til the fat dog sings..Home we go. I’m sure I’ve gained 10 lbs.
Hope expected Warren to call her when he got back from visiting his Dad in Wyoming, but she didn’t think he would come right over. She was surprised and happy to see him standing in the hall. Her happiness turned to concern when she got a closer look at him. Warren was visibly upset, but why?
Warren walked over and sat at the kitchen table, so I did too. I was familiar with what I saw when I looked at his face. Not because I had seen him like that..I hadn’t. I had seen the same expression in the mirror. Not since the months after my parents died, had I seen such a tortured expression. Only this time, it was on my best friend.
“Warren,” I pleaded. “You have to tell me what has happened.” My mind was going crazy. I was afraid to hear his answer. I was afraid for him. He looked at me and shook his head as if he could read my mind. I took a deep breath and waited. I had to do something so I got up and poured him a glass of cold water. It wasn’t ice chips, but it was my way of trying to help him feel better. I began to understand why my Mom always brought me a cup of ice chips when I felt sick. After Mom was gone, Grandma brought me ice chips when I was sick with grief and it had upset me even more.
I could barely hear Warren when he spoke.
He looked away for a long moment as if he was trying to decide if saying the awful thing out loud would make it more real. I knew that feeling well.
Warren looked at me. I guess he was waiting for my reaction. “I’m so sorry Warren.” It was all I could think of to say.
I nodded. I needed to hear it all. I needed to know what had happened to hurt my friend so badly.
The phone rang and I could hear Pearl in the other room talking to the caller. Warren and I both heard her say, “Why yes, I think he is here. Would you like me to put him on?” Soon, she came into the kitchen.
You have helped your friend more than you know Hope. You two have been good for each other. Remember how sickly Warren was when he first moved here? He seems to have outgrown his asthma. He’s even been able to play basketball, and I understand from what you have said, he’s pretty good too. Does he plan to play in high school?
That’s where you can help him Hope. Maybe things will calm down and Warren won’t have to leave. Whatever happens, you and Warren need to remember you can’t control what the other kids know or do. It doesn’t matter anyway. You can’t influence the decisions his parents have to make either, but you can help Warren. He can get through whatever happens. You should know that better than anyone.
You can start by telling him he has an Angel watching over him too. You can tell him to listen to all that is good inside himself before he says or does anything he might regret.
Yes Hope.. everyone has an Angel. A voice they can seek and listen to and trust. You are learning to listen for the right answers.
I know this is a lot for you to understand, but I’m hoping you will grasp the meaning. You cannot depend on others to do what is right. You always have the choice. Do you listen to your Angel’s voice, which you could think of as your higher voice, or do you follow other people who might lead you astray?
Well.. has someone had enough for one day? Let me give you something else to ponder.
School begins in a couple of weeks. I know you want to start high school with Warren, but if that doesn’t happen, you will have to accept the way things are. You both need to lighten up and enjoy this time in your life. Refuse to carry the weight of the grownup’ s problems on your young shoulders…And Hope.. You both need more friends.
Fun memories of High School in the late 60’s. On PE days we wore short skirts and knee highs so we wouldn’t have to bring extra socks or deal with pantyhose. Did you have an autograph dog that all your friends signed? Me neither..
What a difference a day makes. We got away from Tucson around 9:00 this morning, which was good for us. Our goal was to get to Las Cruces, NM, but we made it to El Paso for a total of 312 miles. That was really good for us! It’s supposed to freeze here tonight..bad for us. It’s the first time we’ve had to think about things with water in them freezing. I’m already dreading taking the dogs out in the morning.
What is an El Paso? Do they bite?
I learned a new phrase today that really applies here. The phrase is,”Momma milk my goat.” I borrowed it from Judy Dykstra Brown’s blog, Lifelessons. You can find the story if you go to her blog at judydykstrabrown.com and use the search words, Grandma goat. It’s a good story.
I was totally unprepared. I didn’t know where my camera was, and by the time we could pull over, we had gone past most of the scenic area. It was different from all the other beautiful byways we had seen and as you know, we have seen a lot. In God’s world, no two things are exactly alike right? I am back in the state of gratitude and back in the state of Texas. It has its own unique beauty as does South Dakota. No two snow flakes are alike either. Kip’s sister sent me this picture taken yesterday. She lives in Greeley, Colorado.
Goodbye El Paso…No dog run…You get Zippo!
We have been so busy, I’ve had to skip some of the sights we’ve seen, so this is catch- up time for the travel blog. I wish I had the time to do it justice, but hopefully you’re getting the feel of what it’s been like for us to be on this journey. We have missed a few things on our route, but not much!
The story behind the Exodus Monument touched me. The plaque tells the story of an aging man who put his decrepit wife in a burden basket with her legs hanging out, and carried her on his back for most of the 180 mile forced march to the San Carlos Indian Reservation. Along with others, they had been forced to leave the lands they had lived on for centuries. The old man wouldn’t accept help from the troopers escorting them, except when they had to cross a stream. He allowed them to carry her across on horseback.
The Monument honors the strength of the human spirit possessed by the old man and his wife. They did what they had to do without complaint. Their resolve came from the belief they would one day return to their homeland.
The statue is in Camp Verde, Arizona.
Jerome is America’s most vertical city and is known as the largest ghost town in America. It sits high on top of Cleopatra Hill and is halfway between Prescott and Flagstaff, Arizona. It was a copper mining town from the late 1800’s until the early 1950’s. It started with a settlement of tents and grew to become a rip-roaring billion dollar copper camp. The mountainside it’s built on is at a 30 degree angle. I personally don’t see how people could live with their house hanging off the side of a mountain like that. It’s a long way up there, and even though it’s now kind of an artsy place, it still has an erie feel to it.
Supposedly, there were murders and suicides when the town went from a population of 15,000 to a ghost town due to the sudden drop in copper prices. A lot of the town has now been restored and has become mostly a tourist attraction. We took a pass on the tour of the cemetery and the ghost inhabited hotel.
I thought I had a better picture of the houses built on the steep side of the mountain. Just try to imagine having your house propped up on one side by stilts.
This Mission is in Tucson, Arizona. It is a Parish for the Tohono O’dham, and is on an Indian Reservation. It is currently in the process of being totally renovated. They still have Mass Celebrations and there is also a Mission School. We walked up the hill nearby until we reached the trail which went all the way around. There is a white cross at the very top. The view from the trail was spectacular.
There was a little cafe with picnic tables outside so we decided to have lunch before we walked up the hill. We had Indian fry bread with honey and powered sugar after chowing down on a delicious burro, (burrito). My thin, handmade tortilla was filled with cooked squash, onion, melted cheese, and a little chopped tomato. It was way too much for me, so I had to cut it in half. I ended up eating the whole thing anyway so who was I trying to kid. I just looked at my (after lunch) photo below. I look full.
WE’RE GOING TO BE HITTING THE ROAD HARD FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WE ARE MEETING SOME FRIENDS IN GALVESTON FOR A BIG, RV PARK THANKSGIVING. DOESN’T THAT SOUND LIKE A HOOT?
BYE TUCSON! LOVED YOUR DOG PARK! I GAVE IT 4 BARKS! | 2019-04-18T16:30:12 | https://maryfrancismcninch.com/2016/11/ |

As if an endless night ate every sun.
Or left undone, that catechism phrase.
Kinder assessments of benighted days.
Sin means falling short and I am sin.
That moves around and can’t be fixed outright.
And not the Sturm und Drang that you are seeing.

With the Royal Wedding just a few days away, I felt that this week was the perfect time to feature, Westchester’s own, Diane Clehane. Well, I still consider her a Westchester woman. I met Diane about 12-13 years ago when she was living in Scarsdale, her home for about 20 years. She moved to Greenwich a few years back, but is back in town regularly for work meetings, hair appointments and lunches at the Scarsdale Metro Diner. We’ve been Facebook friends for a number of years and when she writes about the Royal Family, I really feel like I am hearing the honest truth, because she’s truly an expert on them. Her two novels, both about Diana and her numerous articles about the Royal Wedding can be found below.
Diane Clehane is a New York Times best-selling author and award-winning journalist who has reported on and written about the lives of some of the world’s most intriguing people for Vanity Fair, Forbes, People and many other national publications. Her new book, “Imagining Diana,” (<–link to download) imagines what Princess Diana’s life would have been like if she survived the crash. The book has garnered a wave of media coverage in international outlets including The New York Times and The Daily Mail. People.com called this novel “one of the best books on Diana.” Diane is a well respected commentator on popular culture and expert on Britain’s royal family. In fact, she has been cited as an authority on a variety of topics in outlets including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, WWD and Harper’s Bazaar.
Most recently, she’s been contributing to a lot of news outlets for readers who want to know every latest happening as we lead up to the Royal Wedding this Saturday.

Planning to undertake Hajj? Don\'t waste time and key in the required dates and choose from over 500 hotel choices.
The hub of Islam's spiritual center, Makkah (or Mecca) is the holiest city belonging to this faith. Non-Muslims are strictly prohibited from entering the divine abode and any trespassers will be immediately deported from Saudi Arabia. Thanks to the sayings from the five pillars of Islam, it is compulsory for the financially-sound and physically-fit Muslims to undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca, called Hajj, at least once in their lifetime. Thus, the birthplace of Prophet Muhammed has become the melting pot for Muslims from all over the world, with over 3 million devotees taking a trip during the month of Dhu'l-Hijjah annually.
Makkah is home to Masjid al-Haram which is the largest mosque in the world. This holy site can house up to 2 million people at once. For those undertaking the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, this mosque becomes the prime focus. The heart of the sacred mosque features Kaaba, a cuboid building, that needs to be circled seven times by Muslim pilgrims. The Black Stone, residing in the Kaaba's eastern corner, is a renowned Islamic relic. Adjacent to the Kabba lies Maqam-e-Ibrahim, a crystal dome encompasses a rock that is perceived to possess an imprint of Abraham's foot.Be sure to take a walk around Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, two small hills that have now been converted into air-conditioned galleries.
Muslim travellers can visit the Cave of Hira (Ghaar-e-Hira), located in the mountain Jabal Al Noor (Mountain of Light), that is popularly believed to be the site where Allah first revealed the Quran to Muhammed through the angel Jibril. Go back in time with Cave Thawr,(Ghaar-e-Thawr), residing in the mountain Jabal Thawr (Mount Bull), fathomed to have been the place where prophet Muhammed took shelter in as he left for Medina. Pilgrims can climb up to 1,405m to view the cave. Pay your respects to the departed by visiting the Jannat al-Mu'alla cemetery where the relatives and companions of Prophet Muhammed are buried.
Those who believe in the possibility of magic can stop by at the well of Zamzam that resides within the Masjid al-Haram. As per Islamic belief, the water has been produced miraculously from god. Several thousand pilgrims visit the well to sip the holy water. Many pilgrims bring the water back to their home for free as a souvenir. Other well-known hajj sites are Mina (Tent City), famous for providing temporary accommodation to travellers. The site houses the Jamaraat Bridge where the customary ritual of the stoning of the Devil is undertaken. Take a trip to the hill of Arafat ( Jabal Rahma) where the Prophet Muhammad is said to have given his Farewell Sermon to the devotees.
If museums are your forte, then a take a trip to the Al-Haramain Museum that houses an array of historical artifacts belonging to diverse eras. Symbolizing modern Makkah, Abraj Al Bait is the royal tower clock hotel that stands at 601 meters and is said to be the third tallest building in the world and integrates the planet's biggest clock face. This monumental structure is home to a 5-star hotel, a huge prayer hall that can hold up to 10,000 people, an upscale 5-story opulent shopping mall and a wide variety of eating joints.
Traditional items to purchase in the pilgrim city are prayer mats and hats, prayer beads and perfume. At the same time, folks wanting to shop in high-end boutiques can also do so with the shopping malls housing local and global brands. Travellers can purchase the famous perfume oils called Attars. When in Makkah, do not forget to try their quintessential cuisine. While modern fast-food chains such as KFC and Dunkin Donuts are available, the local delicacies are the ones that get the travellers craving for more. Be sure to gorge on Kabsa, a spicy dish prepared with rice and meat or dig into Kofta (meatballs), kebabs and shawarma (flat-bread meat sandwich).
Makkah has abundant stay options that caters to both - the wealthy pilgrims seeking the best luxury hotels or middle-class travellers looking for modest and cheap budget apartments.
Since Makkah experiences arid climate and is scorching hot, the best time to visit the sacred city would be from November to February when the weather is more pleasant and conducive. | 2019-04-22T03:18:48 | https://www.tripinc.com/city/sa/makkah.html |

On Oct. 1 Westchester County, New York enacted an Earned Sick Leave law, becoming the third county nationwide to do so. Montgomery County, Maryland, and Cook County, Illinois also have enacted paid sick leave (PSL) laws. The Westchester County law is effective in 180 days.
The law has the typical PSL architecture: employees will accrue one hour of sick time for every 30 hours worked and may earn and use up to 40 hours in a year for itemized reasons. For employees of employers with at least five employees, the earned time is paid. Unused time may be carried over to the following year, although the employer can cap the maximum amount of sick leave taken in any given year at 40 hours.
The law will be enforced by the Department of Weights and Measures-Consumer Protection. An aggrieved employee has the option to pursue a private right of action in court against the employer. Damages available include up to three times the amount of sick time taken but not paid; $500 for sick time denied and not taken; and other relief including actual damages, attorneys’ fees, the costs of the administrative hearing, and other appropriate monetary and equitable relief.
The law shortchanges union-represented employees through what I call the “comparable benefit fiction.” That section of the law allows an employer and union to deny bargaining unit employees all of the benefits and protections of the PSL law by including in their agreement a “comparable benefit.” One of the listed examples of a comparable benefit” is “holiday and Sunday time pay at a premium rate.” That premium time on holidays and Sunday is not comparable to paid sick leave is self-evident. Beyond that, the law does not define “premium rate”; does not require that an employee ever be offered the opportunity to earn that premium; and does not even require that the employer be open for business on a holiday or Sunday.
The Westchester County law is the sixth PSL law to be enacted this year. The others are Maryland, Michigan, New Jersey, Austin (implementation enjoined pending a legal challenge), and Duluth, MN. Last year, only one new PSL was passed in Rhode Island. | 2019-04-20T20:14:51 | http://dmec.org/2018/10/02/westchester-county-enacts-sick-leave-law/ |
From New York, The American <i>Mahabharat</i>: Will Hillary 'Trump' Misogyny?
From New York, The American Mahabharat: Will Hillary 'Trump' Misogyny?
On the special series The American Mahabharat, we travel to Philadelphia and New York to give you a sense of what's going on in the Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump campaigns. We speak to author Suketu Mehta and rights activist Ruchira Gupta who are campaigning for Hillary Clinton in Philadelphia. Suketu Mehta likened Hillary Clinton to Goddess Durga and Donald Trump to Mahisasur while Ruchira Gupta said that Trump's supporters fear female authority more than Russia and China. We also speak to 3 billionaires at the Trump Tower in New York to try and understand why they support Donald Trump. | 2019-04-18T17:32:07 | https://www.ndtv.com/video/news/the-buck-stops-here/the-american-mahabharat-inside-clinton-and-trump-campaigns-437694?vod-related |

The issue before the Supreme Court arose from the sale of land sold to Plaintiff Eagle Pipe and Supply, Inc. who later discovered the land was allegedly contaminated with radioactive material. Plaintiff sued the former landowners and the oil and trucking companies allegedly responsible for the contamination. The oil and trucking companies moved to dismiss for failing to state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The appellate court initially affirmed the dismissal, but reversed its own decision after rehearing. The Supreme Court granted certiorari to determine whether a subsequent purchaser of property has the right to sue a third party for non-apparent property damage inflicted before the property sells absent an assignment or subrogation to that right. After review, the Court found that the "fundamentals of Louisiana property law compel the conclusion" that such a right of action is not permitted. "Instead, the subsequent purchaser has the right to seek rescission of the sale, reduction of the purchase price or other legal remedies." The Court found that the appellate court erred in reversing itself on rehearing, and reinstated the ruling of the district court. | 2019-04-23T14:23:45 | https://environmentallawopinions.justia.com/category/louisiana-supreme-court |
Museum Textile Services was hired to perform analysis, documentation, conservation, and restoration of the grass wall coverings. Years of tourism had taken a toll and the textiles were faded, dirty, water-stained, and had been picked at by souvenir hunters.
Nearly 4000 square feet of wall coverings were conserved, repaired, repainted, and coated with a UV-absorbant protective coating. Wall coverings in the Library were replaced with replicas woven from raffia and cotton.

The 20 best Boutique Hotels in Berlin. Expert selection 2019.
Forget New York, Berlin is the city that never sleeps. And it’s one of the few cities in the world that loves you back. Boasting 175 museums, high-octane nightlife, a thriving art scene and mouthwatering gastronomy, every day of the year, any time of the day or night, in Berlin, there is always something happening. A bustling bohemian hub where all tastes are catered to, boutique hotels in Berlin open the door to exploring one of the most fascinating capital cities in Europe.
Berlin is a multifaceted, multicultural metropolis where everyone can feast on the smorgasbord of life: from tangible history to cutting-edge architecture, vast swathes of green to urban grit. The city’s vast cultural, artistic, gastronomic and entertainment offerings cater for every taste, budget and age group. A stay in one of the city’s numerous boutique hotels will instantly make you feel like you are part of this amazing international village where everyone follows the laissez-faire credo of ‘live and let live.’ Berlin truly is the city of freedom.
Mitte is where glamour meets grit. While staying in a boutique hotel in the Mitte district of Berlin, you can comfortably reach all the blockbuster attractions, like the Brandenburg Gate, Checkpoint Charlie and Holocast Memorial, by foot or by public transport. The Casa Camper Berlin is a fine choice when picking a boutique hotel to stay at in Mitte because of its superb location, contemporary design and trendy yet comfortable suites. The Gendarmenmarkt, bookended by the domed 18th century French and German cathedrals, is Berlin at its most glamorous. The ritzy square is lined with chic restaurants and bars, swanky shopping malls like the Galeries Lafayette, as well as luxury design hotels.
© Henri Hotel Berlin KurfürstendammCharlottenburg boats countless stylish boutique hotels that emulate the elegance of the area, and put you right in the center of this cultural and shopping paradise. The exquisiteness of the salon rooms at the Henri Hotel Berlin Kurfürstendamm will make you feel like royalty and is the perfect place to call home while staying in Berlin’s Charlottenburg district. Once the glittering heart of West Berlin during the cold war, Charlottenburg is just as dazzling today as it was then. Kufürstendamm is Berlin’s most popular and biggest shopping boulevard. Kaufhaus des Westens, better known as KaDeWe, second only to Harrods in London, became the symbol of the material prosperity of West Berlin versus that of the East. Since its re-opening in 1950, it attracts around 50,000 visitors to its 60,000 square meters of shopping space over seven floors daily. Shoppers can splash out on luxury goods by Bulgari, Burberry, Cartier, Chanel, Louis Vuitton and more. Another major sightseeing attraction is Schloss Charlottenburg, reflecting the grandeur of the Hohenzollern family that ruled the region until 1918. Initially built to be a summer retreat, it is particularly exquisite to visit the palace with its sprawling gardens in the summer time, so it’s best to invest in a day pass and get there early.
© ABION Villa SuitesWhat used to be royal hunting grounds until the 18th century, Tiergarten is today one of the world’s largest urban parks. The park is bisected by the Strasse des 17 Juni, the western continuation of the boulevard Unter den Linden. It takes about an hour to walk across the entire park, but the journey is well worth the effort because of the historical sites you’ll see along the way, like the Brandenburg Gate, Siegesäule and Bundeskanzleramt. A great way to explore both the green spaces, impressive sites and shopping destinations of this part of the city is a stay in one of Tiergarten’s charming boutique hotels. If you want to shop till you drop, head to the centrally-located Postdamer Platz Arkaden and Mall of Berlin, which house upscale lables like Mandarina Duck and Wolford, as well as huge fashion chains like Zara and H&M. With its futuristic architecture reminiscent of the Big Apple, Potsdamer Platz tempts visitors with mall shopping, classical music, arts and culture. | 2019-04-23T16:01:28 | https://en.escapio.com/boutique-hotels/berlin |
Down in Victoria, Australia , you may be just lucky enough to catch a glimpse of Ian Raper's 600 HP 928 Ralleye as it powers by. Don't blink!
Ian says: "The idea of building a Tarmac Rally car based a Porsche® 928 started when I realised that this was a classic car in the making, a German muscle car!"
Tarmac Rally events are run in Australia on closed public roads, under FIA rules (very similar to WRC, but exclusively on tarmac). These events run for 3-5 days, and are very hard on the cars and crews. Mistakes are costly, as there is no armco, no run-off areas; trees, rocks and cliff faces await off-tarmac excursions.
There are very strict class rules which allow certain modifications to be made, but we to have external bodywork remain "standard".
So, my 928 is based on a 1980 S, Euro spec, but other than the basic shell and external panels, not much is left! It is not as fast as a current-spec 4wd rally car in the wet...but we give them a real run for their money on dry, open stages, and the crowds just love the sight, smell and sound of a big V8 going sideways...way more entertaining than watching very fast, but clinical 4 cylinder rally cars.
The car was reduced to a bare shell, had an extensive chrome-molly cage fabricated, a fire suppression system installed, custom wiring and some internal panels reinstalled. This has proved to be an extremely strong and stiff chassis, absolutely incredible for what is a 1972 design..
The engine is based on the standard block, and 16 valve heads, but these have been extensively modified, with capacity now just under 6 litres, with dry-sump and 120 litre fuel cell, four DCOE webers and custom ceramic coated headers and exhaust. This package was developed to produce good horsepower and torque, as we cannot use later injection, nor engine management systems within our rules ...Recent dyno shows 450Hp at rear wheels.
Clutch is a dual plate competition setup, gearbox is from a 91 GT, with custom diff centre.
Suspension is Koni coil-over, two-way adjustable with standard rear arms, and hybrid front, with early-spec lower arms and hubs, and late model top arms to increase negative camber. GT transaxle, with locking diff centre.
The front suspension uses the original bottom arms, and late model (S4) top arms, to create some 4.5 degrees negative camber, with 1000lb springs and Koni coil-overs, (two-way adjustable).
Wheels are custom-made by Simmons, 3-piece at maximum size for class of 17" diameter by 9" wide.
Dry weight is now 2800 pounds.
"We have competed in many tarmac rallies and hillclimb events, including Targa Tasmania, Classic Adelaide, Targa West, as well as a occasional circuit racing over the past three years, winning our (hotly contested "muscle car" or Classics class ) several times, and having an absolute blast in one of the best sounding cars of all time!" | 2019-04-25T02:04:50 | https://928motorsports.com/ianraper.php |

South Wales teenage Samantha Jenkins chewed about 14 pieces of chewing every day -- and this could have been why she suddenly collapsed into a violent fit and died four years ago, after complaining of a headache.
Her pack-a-day habit may have killed her.
While an autopsy declared the 19-year-old's died from natural causes, her mother Maria Morgan, who discovered hundreds of discarded gum wrappers in her teenage daughter's room, is adamant it was Samantha's constant chewing that lead to her death. She may have been right. A new inquest into Samantha's death has heard that her body failed to absorb enough vital minerals, as a result of the large lumps of mint green gum found in her stomach, Mail Online reports. "She had complained of feeling unwell that day and told me she felt a headache coming on and had pins and needles," the 45-year-old mother said at the hearing yesterday. She has been campaigning for an inquest into Samantha's death since she died in 2012.
"She went upstairs that night and suddenly shouted down to me, 'Is this what it feels like to die? I feel paralysed'."
Despite the lumps of gum in her daughter's stomach, Maria thinks the artificial sweeteners in the gum played a role in her death.
But doctors are skeptical. While her chewing gum habit meant Samantha may have been consuming a substantial amount of sweeteners every day, pathologist Dr Paul Griffiths said putting her death down to that was "going into uncharted waters".
Maria still hopes that the inquest may prompt sugar-free gum manufacturers to put warnings on packaging.
"I want answers for my beautiful little girl so that we as a family can finally have closure." | 2019-04-21T00:26:00 | https://www.news24.com/You/Archive/chewing-gum-killed-my-daughter-20170728 |

Georgia running back D'Andre Swift as practicing with the Bulldogs on Tuesday, but didn't exactly look like he was going full speed. He has a groin injury.
ATHENS — Good thing Georgia practices football on Tuesdays rather than Mondays. The weather was absolutely gorgeous on Tuesday — 75 degrees with a slight breeze as a few dozen Bulldog Network sponsors looked on during the first portion of a scheduled two-hour practice.
The Bulldogs were in full pads and full-contact mode for practice No. 13 of 15 this spring. Offensive and defensive linemen were going through hitting drills during the brief media observation period and offensive skill position players were being put through intense ball-security drills, with coaches yelling and screaming, managers and support personnel slapping at the football with all manner of instruments — including blocking dummies, boxing gloves and, yes, hands.
Practice No. 14 is Thursday and No. 15 will be Saturday — the annual G-Day instrasquad game at Sanford Stadium (4 p.m., ESPN, News 95.5 and AM 750 WSB).
Natrez Patrick was practicing with the inside linebackers. Figured I’d mention after the debacle Saturday.
D’Andre Swift was dressed out and practicing the ball-security drills and play polish with the rest of the running backs. He did not seem to be moving at quite the speed of the other backs, however. He has been dealing with a groin injury, according to coach Kirby Smart.
The way the backs lined up in order during drills were: Elijah Holyfield, Brian Herrien, Swift, Prather Hudson and Zamir White.
Speaking of White, he appeared to be working at a pretty quick pace, was in full pads and was going through all the drills with the rest of the backs. He is wearing one of the custom-made braces on his injured knee.
Also getting a lot of work was Ian Donald-McIntyre. The redshirt sophomore from Fayetteville (Whitewater High) is 5-foot-10, 207 pounds, wears jersey No. 33 and physically looks like a very good athlete.
One somewhat funny moment was when Daquan Hawkins-Muckle pancaked Julian Rochester during a 1-on-1 drill. They were working on some new turf and that probably caused Rochester to lose his footing. But it brought a laugh from a few, including Rochester and Hawkins-Muckle, who politely helped up the fellow nose guard.
Cameron Nizalek has been assisting the punters, who clearly could use benefit from his help after his one tremendous season on the team as a graduate transfer.
Post-practice interviews Tuesday will be with linebacker Monty Rice, defensive end David Marshall, offensive tackle Andrew Thomas and Holyfield. | 2019-04-23T19:54:43 | https://www.dawgnation.com/football/practice-report-all-backs-present-active-as-bulldogs-log-spring-practice-no-13 |
Beto O’Rourke sold an apartment complex he valued between $1 million and $5 million to a campaign donor shortly before running for Senate.
The building needed significant interior improvements and the basement resembled a horror movie scene when Beto sold it, the current property manager told TheDCNF.
The new owners plan to “cash in” by making the complex “Beto-themed,” the property manager said.
Beto and his campaign donor have offered different explanations for how the sale came to be.
EL PASO — The month before he launched his Senate campaign against Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz, Democratic presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke offloaded an El Paso, Texas, apartment complex that he valued in financial disclosures at between one and five million dollars.
The buyers were Patricia “Isha” Rogers and her husband, Steve Santamaria, public records show. Rogers is an old family friend and campaign donor for both Beto’s and his father’s political campaigns.
O’Rourke and his mother became co-owners of the building following the death of his father, former El Paso County Judge Pat O’Rourke, in 2001.
Federal Election Commission (FEC) records show Rogers donated thousands of dollars to each of O’Rourke’s three House campaigns, as well as to his 2018 Senate campaign. Rogers also donated $2,000 to Pat O’Rourke’s 1992 campaign for Congress.
The apartment complex, then called Imperial Arms Apartments, was a fixer-upper when Beto sold it, the building’s current property manager told TheDCNF. He declined to make Rogers available for an interview.
The complex needed significant interior work and had none of the several security cameras that now encircle the building when Beto sold it, the property manager added. The building, now called Saint Rogers Apartments, sits a 10-minute drive from the Bridge of the Americas port of entry connecting El Paso and Juarez. It doesn’t have a functioning website.
The basement laundry room resembled a scene from the horror movie “Silence of the Lambs” when Beto sold the building, said the property manager, who expressed doubt that anyone would have wanted to use it at that time.
The new owners renovated the basement, adding a window and a workout area after purchasing the complex, the property manager said. Local artwork currently hangs on the apartment walls, but that may change with Beto’s presidential campaign.
TheDCNF’s reporter spent two nights at one of the complex’s 18 units, rented through Airbnb.
The property manager volunteered the above information after TheDCNF’s reporter said he was writing about Beto and had chosen to stay at the apartment building because O’Rourke previously owned it. He provided further details in subsequent phone calls but asked that the story not refer to him by name.
It remains unclear exactly how much Beto received for the apartment complex. Beto has refused to say, and Texas law doesn’t require public disclosure of sale prices on commercial real estate. County records show the El Paso tax assessor’s office valued the property a little below $1.1 million in 2018.
In a phone call, the property manager said the new owners instructed him to not disclose the sale price to TheDCNF.
Rogers and O’Rourke have offered different accounts about how the sale came to be in the first place.
O’Rourke told The Washington Free Beacon that he talked to Rogers about selling the building complex after she expressed interest in it.
But 18 months later, in October 2018, Rogers appears to have given a different account of the deal in an interview with El Paso lifestyle magazine The City. According to Rodgers, O’Rourke approached her about a possible sale, not the other way around, while at a party.
“None other than our own prized U.S. Representative Beto O’Rourke approached them with an exciting offer. ‘I hear you’re buying apartment complexes,’ he said. The rest is history,” the magazine reported in a glowing profile of the refurbished apartments.
Beto’s complex required fewer renovations than Rogers’ other commercial purchases, according to the magazine’s profile. The magazine’s owner is good friends with Rogers, the property manager said in a phone call.
Several Beto for America staffers have expressed interest in living in the apartment building during the campaign, the property manager added.
When first asked about the deal by the Free Beacon in April 2017, O’Rourke acknowledged that he had known Rogers “since we were kids” but said their relationship had no bearing on the deal.
O’Rourke later downplayed the sale’s profits, telling the Associated Press in October 2018 that most of the money went towards renovation and paying off the mortgage.
“What Amy and I took from that, it was maybe in the tens of thousands of dollars,” he told the AP. “It was not a money-making proposition for us,” he said.
He reported between $100,001 and $1 million in capital gains (profits) from the February 2017 sale in his financial disclosure for that year, filed in May 2018.
O’Rourke took out a $1.2 million mortgage on the apartment complex in 2012. He paid off the remainder of the mortgage in March 2017 according to public documents reviewed by TheDCNF.
Beto for America declined to comment. | 2019-04-18T19:04:33 | https://www.dailycaller.com/2019/04/11/beto-orourke-million-dollar-deal-campaign-donor/ |

Time for a mindset reset!
Dr. Nathaniel Fogel was born and raised in Queens, NY, one of four children. Blessed with a love of tinkering, a knack for repairs, a flair for the sciences, and a sociable personality, he attended dental school at University of Maryland, graduated in 2012, and completed an advanced education in general dentistry (AEGD) in 2013. He is associated with the Maryland State Dental Association, Howard County Dental Association, American Dental Association, and Maimonides Dental Study Club.
After working in various family and cosmetic dentistry offices in the Baltimore vicinity, Dr. Fogel decided to open his own practice in 2016. He enthusiastically cares for patients of all ages with his trademark passion, precision, and pleasant demeanor.
Dr. Fogel lives in Baltimore with his wife Ayelet and their children, Daniella and Tamir. When he’s out of the office, he pursues several other pastimes. He bakes his own artisanal bread with a true doctor’s appreciation for the scientific aspect of cooking, roots for the Islanders and Jets, and enjoys riding his bike; he’s participated in several long-distance rides for charity.
Taneka joined our practice after graduating from All-State Career in Baltimore. She’s been in the dental industry for eight years and has been with our practice for over three of those years. As the dental assistant, it’s her job to assist Dr. Fogel with anything that he needs for patient treatment – from setting up the rooms to taking x-rays to sterilization of instruments. She loves the fact that she gets to meet and converse with people from all walks of life and that her presence is comforting when they’re receiving treatment. She also loves working with our awesome, eclectic (her word!) staff.
Nicki has been working in the dental industry for over 15 years, previously working with Dr. Whitaker before joining Dr. Fogel. You’ll find her overseeing all patient communications, insurance coordination, engaging folks on social media, answering the phones, and doing all of the other things that make the office run like a well-oiled machine. She loves meeting new patients, and also loves working with a team that embraces technology so well in order to make the patients’ experiences as easy and seamless as possible. | 2019-04-19T16:14:21 | http://pineviewdental.com/about-us/ |

Being poor can be very costly, despite what conservatives say about low-income people having it easy because of government programs that help provide health insurance, food stamps, and other forms of assistance.
Poverty is something affecting more Americans these days. At least 15% of the country lives in poverty, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. That translates into more than 46 million people. Half the population is categorized as “near poverty” and about three-fourths live paycheck to paycheck.
These individuals face many financial obstacles due to having so little income.
If they have a job (a low-wage occupation is one that pays $7.69 to $13.83 an hour), that requires transportation to reach work. For the poor, that means either taking public transportation, which costs roundtrip and often isn’t reliable, or driving a car that may require frequent repairs and more upkeep than newer models. Older cars usually aren’t as gas efficient as newer ones, which means paying more for gasoline.
Then there’s housing. For those poor people who actually can afford an apartment, they’ve had to come up with first and last month’s rent, plus security deposit. Those who can’t afford this investment have to live with relatives or roommates, in motels offering week-to-week deals, in shelters, or on the street.
And food poses its own problems. Obviously, food comes at a price, and if cash is in short supply, then eating a balanced meal is often out of the question. Eating less-healthy foods can lead to poor nutrition and health issues, which in turn cost money if the problem is so bad that medical care is required. | 2019-04-25T10:14:16 | http://www.allgov.com/news/where-is-the-money-going/the-high-cost-of-working-for-a-low-wage-140205?news=852350 |

Who else wants to totally rock this shirt?
I am going to talk about the River Styx, the river you only see in Greek Mythology if you are dead and your loved ones remembered to put a coin in your mouth or on your eyes for the ferryman’s fee.
The river was named after the goddess Styx, who personified hatred and was an ally of Zeus in the Titan wars. Styx had many children who served under Zeus. She lived in a grotto above the river bearing her name in the underworld.
When a god or goddess took an oath, Iris would fly to the underworld and retrieve a cup of water from the river. The vow was made “By the River Styx” as the oath giver poured out the water from the cup. This vow was seen as binding.
The River Styx separated the world of the dead from the world of the living. When a soul made its way down to the river, it was transported into the underworld by Charon, the ferryman.
The Styx was not the only river of the underworld, but it is the most famous. In Dante’s Inferno, it is the river of the fifth circle of hell. This circle was reserved for people guilty of wrath, anger, and sulliness.
In Turning Creek, Petra is fond of the exclamations “Styx and fire.” Both Petra and Marina are known to say “hells” and “Styx.” All of these sayings reflect Virgil’s version of the underworld with its many levels.
The Remnants, like the real Greek myths, make binding vows “By the River Styx” though they do not dump out water from the river when they do so. | 2019-04-20T01:14:55 | http://wanderingeyre.com/2015/06/01/mythology-mondays-the-river-styx/ |
This one just stood out on our last trip to the peak district and we had to go back and climb . At the foot of the hill lays the massive Ladybower dam, this alone is worth the trip up there. The path is very easy to find and you soon find yourself making your way uphill through the woods called Winhill Barn.
As you near the top of the forrest the path starts to get fairly steep with a lot of mud underneath, also watch the path, some walk boards had become overturned with the nails sticking up just ready to catch you. We cleared the woodland and made our way across Thornhill Brink to reach the trail that leads to the Win hill summit.
The top stands at 437m not the highest we have done but it was the windiest thats for sure. The views are great from the top, over towards the Edale valley you can see the Kinder plateau and then looking west from the top you get some great views of Lose hill, Back Tor and the massive Mam Tor (we will climb this lot next time). To the north is the derwent edge that we climbed the last time we were here.
we then worked our way down the old roman road towards the woodlands Valley to pick our route back along Ladybower reservoir, on the way you can see Crook Hill again we shall walk this another day i hope. | 2019-04-23T06:55:13 | http://canvins.com/WinHill/winhill.html |

Back to the Future - Epoch Investment Partners, Inc.
For some readers, the title of this paper may recall one of the most popular movies of 1985. In “Back to the Future,” Marty McFly, the film’s young hero, returns to the past in order to gain insight into the future. At Epoch, we believe the same approach should be taken in the field of equity investing: in order to profit from the stock market’s future, you need to understand its past. In the following pages, we’ll explore how the history of equity returns can be used to optimize stock selection, portfolio construction and total value creation.
We’ll begin our journey “back to the future” with Figures 1 and 2. These images provide a valuable interpretation of the past seven decades of stock market performance by disaggregating the three drivers of total return into their individual categories: dividends (green), earnings (blue) and P/E ratios (purple). The “combined effects” value is shown in red, and the black trend-line represents the total return for each period under review. In Figure 1, the data is displayed yearly; in Figure 2, it is displayed decade-by-decade.
In contemplating these graphs, the informed investor – i.e. the financial equivalent of Marty McFly – will notice an important trend: in decades that generated returns above 10 percent, this growth was driven by expanding P/E ratios. The 1950’s, 1980’s and 1990’s, for example, produced large equity returns reflecting substantial P/E expansion. In fact, rising P/E ratios explained nearly half of the equity returns for the 20-year period between 1980 and 2000 (see Table 1).
Conversely, in decades that produced returns below 10 percent – such as the 1940’s, 1960’s, 1970’s and the period since 2000 – this decline was explained by falling P/E ratios.
Now that we have outlined the historical role played by P/E ratios, let’s see how this knowledge can help us determine the future components of total market return. First, it is important to remember that P/E ratios are closely and inversely tied to interest rate levels. During the decades in which P/E expansion drove returns, interest rates were in decline. Today, however, it is highly unlikely that interest rates will continue to fall, or that P/E ratios will continue to expand. Therefore, the informed investor must look beyond P/E ratios to identify the future determinants of total market return.
In our view, the key explanatory variables for upcoming positive market performance will be earnings growth and dividend yield. Particularly in light of current interest rate levels in a historical context1, earnings and dividends will likely explain 100% of the returns this decade. In other words, valuation expansion from growing P/E ratios will no longer provide the return-driving momentum seen in prior decades. To identify the most profitable investment opportunities, one must focus instead on earnings growth and dividend yield.
This dividends- and earnings-dependent future holds an additional implication for investors: in upcoming years, P/E expansion will not cover up poorly-informed investment choices. Because tomorrow’s marketplace will not be artificially buoyed by falling interest rates and rampant P/E growth, informed portfolio management will be the key to navigating this decade’s new investment landscape.
In fact, when learning from the market’s past in order to capitalize on its future, the topic of portfolio management should immediately come to the fore.
As investors, we seek to identify which of these free cash flow deployment options (or combination of options) will provide the best outcome for shareholders. If the company’s management team is similarly focused on using free cash flow to generate shareholder return, we will consider that stock for inclusion into our portfolios. That, in brief, is Epoch’s security selection process.
After identifying stocks that meet our investment criteria, we then combine the chosen equities into a portfolio that captures the collective expected positive outcomes with a minimum of variance or volatility. We call this process portfolio construction: the second step in successful portfolio management. To understand the importance of the “science” of portfolio construction, one must simply acknowledge the existence of risks and uncertainties within the investment landscape. If a portfolio could grow from point A to point B in a straight line (i.e. without any risk at all), portfolio construction would be unnecessary, as no construction technique could improve upon the naturally occurring outcome. However, if we acknowledge the reality of risks and uncertainties within return expectations, then one must use portfolio construction to minimize those risks and uncertainties.
The key to effective portfolio construction is the ability to identify, manage and profit from four major themes. The first theme relates to the changing relative influence of each driver of equity returns. As previously mentioned, P/E ratio expansion, so important in the 1980 to 2000 period, will cease to be meaningful in this decade. Earnings (or, better yet, free cash flow) and dividends will dominate returns for this period. In our view, today’s successful investment strategies must be derived from a focus on free cash flow and a commitment to free cash flow’s intelligent use for the creation of shareholder value.
The second theme is the return of “shareholder yield” and its growing importance to successful security selection. Over much of the history of equity returns, dividends and their growth have accounted for almost 40% of the total return in equities. We define shareholder yield as cash dividends plus the effect of stock buybacks and debt reductions. We believe that “shareholder yield,” which contributes about 3% today, will rise to 4% over the near future, and will soon comprise a large proportion of total equity market return.
The third theme is globalization, which began with the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and then accelerated in earnest when China joined the World Trade Organization. With the Law of Comparative Advantage2 functioning at a furious pace, the investor must have a global perspective when evaluating equities. In this new international investment landscape, the growing impact of China is a particularly important investment consideration.
The fourth theme reflects our bullish stance on energy. Here, the statistics speak for themselves: consumption of oil per capita in the U.S. is 10 times that of China. Meanwhile, China is growing twice as fast and has a population four times greater than the U.S. Furthermore, we believe that global oil production is likely to peak in the next few years, which will further add to the attractiveness of this sector.
In the past several pages, we’ve examined the equity markets of yesterday, today and tomorrow, and we’ve used these insights to discuss the proper approach to stock selection and portfolio construction. Now, to conclude, we’d like to offer a final reference to the movie that inspired this paper. In the film’s closing scene, Doc Brown – Marty McFly’s eccentric guide through the perilous maze of time travel – states the following in regard to their impending journey into the future: “Roads? Where we’re going we don’t need roads.” While this may be true when fiddling with the space-time continuum, we must respectfully disagree with Doc when it comes to equity investing. When one’s capital is at stake, nothing is more essential than a reliable roadmap. In our view, the best possible roadmap is one that is built on a comprehensive understanding of historical equity returns. Armed with this knowledge of the stock market’s past, the informed investor can certainly navigate its future.

THE GUNTHER GANG: A Happy List: 19.
Buying groceries based off of pregnancy cravings and seeing the judgmental and quizzical expression upon the face of the cashier as you're checking out. // Weaseling through pregnancy without purchasing any real maternity clothing aside from maternity leggings (it's like a challenge-- how long can I go before I give in and buy maternity items?). // We bought a fridge on Labor Day. Are we big kids yet? // When we bought our fridge, there was a little old man hanging out at the front of the Home Depot who stopped us in our tracks just to talk to us about my baby bump. "What are ya havin'?" he inquired, pointing directly at my belly button. I looked down, placed both hands lovingly upon my belly and responded, "It's a girl!" His response: "Right answer!" and without another word, he reached into his pocket, pulled out a button with a smiley face on it and pinned it to my backpack. // I bought a carseat for half-off this morning. It was a killer deal too! So check that off of my list of things to do before baby comes (now I just have a million more things to accomplish before I'll feel adequately prepared...ish). // The fact that all of the stores are stocking up on autumn + halloween themed everything. // Those sweet, sleepy cuddles Taylor gives in bed every morning before he heads to work. // The new book I'm reading (and will likely finish within a day of starting). // The thought of Tay and I actually being parents... LOL!! // Holding our tiny freshly-birthed nephew and getting excited for our OWN BABY. // Que Bueno nacho cheese from Costco (you're welcome, nacho lovers). // The fact that Taylor enjoys watching the drama of bachelor in paradise probably more than I do. // Life is just really, really good right now (but it will get even better once we finally get to move into our own place officially)!
Don't worry, the photo of my nephew tricked a LOT of people into thinking I had my baby! haha I clearly didn't think that one through too well. I'm glad to hear that it's possible to survive only buying maternity leggings! That's honestly my game-plan and I don't really plan on veering away from it. | 2019-04-23T12:20:45 | http://www.taylorandcalea.com/2017/09/a-happy-list-19.html |
Oppo has expanded its product portfolio with the launch of company's latest budget smartphone -- Oppo A1K in Russia.
HMD Global has priced the Nokia 9 PureView smartphone at $699, which translates to Rs 48,700 in India.
As speculated, Realme has launched the successor to Realme C1 handset in India today. Called the Realme C2, the device has been launched along with the Realme 3 Pro.
New studies suggest that keyboards of ATM machines might be as dirty as the public toilet seats, if not more.
Microsoft has also announced that it is going to bring its car racing franchise on the mobile platform later this year. Dubbed as Forza Stree, the company has also confirmed that the game will be free-to-play.
Oppo Fantastic Day has started today and will continue till April 19 on Amazon India website.
While industry estimates show that almost 40% of the smartphone sales happen online, a new study by tech consulting firm techARC noted nearly half (40-45%) of this is in the nature of “reseller fraudulent” sale. | 2019-04-23T12:06:03 | https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/smartphones |
Washington should provide the global community with explanations as to why US embassies across the world purchased spy equipment, as was recently revealed by WikiLeaks, the Chinese Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman said on Monday.
“We have paid attention to related reports, and I believe that everyone who has read this information has the same questions as I do: why did the US diplomatic missions need to buy so much spy equipment, what was it used for, who was the target, and what were the reasons. The United States should provide to the global community explanations for this situation,” Hua Chunying said at a press briefing.
On Friday, WikiLeaks released a searchable database, dubbed “US Embassy Shopping List,” that comprised over 16,000 procurement requests that US embassies around the world had posted.
While the majority of the requests focused on “mundane activities required for the day-to-day operation,” there were also requests hinting at covert activities.
In August, the US Embassy in El Salvador requested 94 spy cameras, mostly disguised as ties, buttons, watches, lighters and other everyday objects. The US Embassy in Colombia had made a similar request, according to WikiLeaks. | 2019-04-21T14:49:13 | http://theinsidesspeak.com/2018/12/24/washington-should-explain-why-us-embassies-purchased-spy-equipment-beijing/ |

On May 20, Guinness World Record Ocean Rowers, Angela Madsen (U.S.) and Tara Remington (New Zealand) set out from Long Beach, California, rowing the 19-foot Spirit of Orlando more than 2,500 miles to Honolulu, Hawaii. Today, Pasha Hawaii is bringing the rowboat back to California aboard the M/V Jean Anne.
Marine veteran Angela Madsen began her remarkable journey 20 years ago when she underwent a failed back surgery for an injury sustained while on duty. At that time, her goal was to be walking and surfing within one year. Instead, she found herself confined to a wheelchair, which became the impetus for new goals, including adaptive rowing and becoming an advocate for human rights and for the rights of people with disabilities.
She has since been to five rowing World Championships, is a four-time gold medalist and a Paralympian, and holds six world records for rowing across the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, as well as circumnavigating Great Britain.
Madsen was joined by Tara Remington, who holds a world record for rowing across the Atlantic Ocean. Remington rowed to raise funds for Charlotte Cleverley Bisman so she may attend Camp No Limits, a summer camp for children who are amputees. Madsen rowed to raise funds for California Adaptive Rowing Programs to purchase new boats for their aging fleet and to recognize fallen soldiers with a Military and Veteran Tribute Row. | 2019-04-21T22:54:13 | https://www.pashahawaii.com/news-media/news/313/pasha-hawaii-brings-spirit-orlando-back-california-world-record-rowers |

Prince William and Prince Harry have spoken of their regret at the brevity of their final phone call with their mother, Princess Diana, just hours before her 1997 death in a car crash in Paris.
In a new documentary set to release on Monday by ITV in Great Britain and HBO in the United States, Prince Harry recalls how quickly he got off the phone with his mother.
The two brothers were at Balmoral Castle in Scotland when Diana called from Paris.
“I can’t necessarily remember what I said, but all I do remember is regretting for the rest of my life how short the phone call was,” Harry told ITV.
The ITV documentary, “Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy,” celebrates the life and work of Diana, Princess of Wales, in the 20th year since her death, according to a press release by the network.
The Duke of Cambridge said the time felt right to talk about their mother.
“There’s not many days that go by that I don’t think of her. Her 20th anniversary year feels like a good time to … remember, you know, all the good things about her and hopefully provide maybe a different side to her that others haven’t seen before,” he said.
The brothers told the documentary makers that their mother made them feel loved.
“We felt, you know, incredibly loved, Harry and I … and I’m very grateful that that love still — still feels there,” Prince William said.
Prince William also shared a story about when Diana surprised him with a meeting with his favorite supermodels.
She had arranged “when I came home from school to have Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Naomi Campbell waiting at the top of the stairs,” Prince William said. | 2019-04-25T22:56:26 | https://wtkr.com/2017/07/23/princes-william-and-harry-recall-their-last-words-with-princess-diana/?shared=email&msg=fail |

I used to run Darwin Streaming Server Version 5.5.5 and ran quite well.
I tried to compile it in Debian Squeeze Linux and it didn’t work at all.
I got many compiling warnings and errors which at the end didn’t allow me to compile it.
but that also didn’t work well. I got either errors during the patching or error during the compiling.
which offered more patches, replacement for Install script and an authentication module.
Thanks to the person who posted this page, and provided the patches etc. finally it did work and is now running.
So based on the information in this page I adapted it to fit to Debian Squeeze 64bit here below.
Note 1: I have stored the full source of the StreamingServer 6.0.3 as well as the patches needed on my own server just to make sure it is always available at least to me when I need it.
Note 2: I’m working here as root to avoid having to use sudo for every command.
Get the patches etc. needed.
Uncompress the extra patches etc.
It should build quite well, just verify that it does not end with an error.
The server should run one process as root and 2 processes as qtss user.
This will go through a one-time sequence of a few setting screens.
Important: make sure you don't activate the port 80 if you have a web server running on port 80 in the same host. It would create a port conflict and DSS might not want to start at all.
echo "ERROR: DarwinStreamingServer NOT started"
echo "ERROR: DarwinStreamingServer still running"
ps ax | egrep -v 'grep|/bin/sh' | grep -i streaming && echo "DarwinStreamingServer not running" || echo "DarwinStreamingServer not running"
Note: If you had the Darwin Streaming Server version 5.x.x installed before, it is possible that some modules of that version are still in the directory:/usr/local/sbin/StreamingServerModules.
Make sure they are deleted before you start the server.
If they are not deleted, no big deal. You're simply going to get some errors in the streaming server error logs when starting the server. Eg.
"WARNING: The module QTSSRefMovieModule is not a compatible QTSS API module."
"WARNING: The module QTSSHomeDirectoryModule is not a compatible QTSS API module."
then anything starting from 6970 & up depending on how many clients you want to support.
In order to play a live stream fed by a streaming source for example: Apple Quicktime Broadcaster, here is an example of an HTML embedded Quicktime component code that upon clicking into the component start the connection to the streaming server. The live streaming source program must provide the same filename as the one provided in the component to have a successful streaming connection.
reload this web page and click in the above box again.
Unfortunately I have no idea what your error message/no-message means.
but if something goes wrong I need to look at each message individually.
In your case I don’t see any indications of what went wrong.
to see if any error message appears about this installation.
I am facing the same error, is there a solution please?
Unfortunately I don’t have any solution. It’s been a long time ago since I’ve left the streaming field. Sorry.
Unfortunately I never tried to install it on Ubuntu. Some stuff are obviously different which disturb the installation. If you find a solution please let me know so that I post it here. Thanks.
Why do you put those tutorial when you yourself don’t even know about them.
So just for your information, this particular posting is from my own experience of installing successfully Darwin Streaming Server in Debian Squeeze. In the meantime if the installation does not run as smoothly as you would like, it is to be considered that technology does change and I’m not about to review all my old post to correct them for administrators who have difficulties. And again, referring to the start page of this blog, my intention is FIRST for ME to have a bank of information to facilitate my IT work and SECOND others who might benefit from it. I don’t make any claim regarding the full accuracy of this information, which is at the time of writing most of it was accurate from my experience or from a post found in Internet. These ‘untested’ Internet posts I found and copied here might not have been tested by me but I found them as a possible good tip to be checked/used/corrected etc. at a later date. And by the way, I’m also not paid for the time I take to post these posts, so any complaints about their accuracy, even though mostly unfounded, is to my opinion unjustified. And as it often happens: give something for free and someone is bound to complain about it. Luckily it doesn’t happen too often. Most people appreciate the information posted here. An some people who find the information not to be quite accurate even contribute to its accuracy by commenting the corrections to the post. This is how information sharing works and evolves.
I have this error on the lates Debian version.
Oct 09 08:10:46 jon systemd: Failed to start LSB: Apple Audio/Video(quictime) DarwinStreamingServer.
Oct 09 08:10:46 jon systemd: DarwinStreamingServer.service: Unit entered failed state.
Oct 09 08:10:46 jon systemd: DarwinStreamingServer.service: Failed with result ‘exit-code’.
I tried installing the Squeeze version and it works properly. Any work around to run this on the latest version?
Hi, unfortunately I haven’t tried it with the latest version of Debian(Stretch). I was even surprised that it still worked when I upgraded from Squeeze to Jessie leaving the compiled DarwinStreamingServer intact. But very likely the same is not going to happen when I upgrade to Stretch, but I will try anyway. | 2019-04-19T22:21:29 | https://tipstricks.itmatrix.eu/compiling-and-installing-darwin-streaming-server-on-debian-squeeze/ |

When many Americans moving to London think about pudding they think of a wonderful creamy children’s treat found in a box mix. Most have never tried a real pudding or know the origins of the dish. London is home to many puddings but Christmas pudding is perhaps one of the most famous. A sweet dish, traditionally served ablaze, the Christmas pudding is as much a part of Christmas as the turkey in England.
Traditionally Christmas pudding is made on Stir-It-Up-Sunday, or five Sundays before Christmas, in accordance with the Church of England’s calendar. On that Sunday the ingredients are combined and every member of the family stirs the pudding to ensure good luck. At least thirteen ingredients are used in the pudding to represent Christ and his twelve disciples. Often little trinkets are added to the pudding much like a King Cake during Mardi Gras.
Every family has their own special recipe for a Christmas pudding but most have the same basic ingredients. Traditionally, beef suet is used for the base of the pudding although now many people opt for vegetarian suet for health reasons. Added to the suet are candied fruits, dried fruit, fruit juices (lemon and orange) and spices. Rather than baking the mixture it is boiled and then left out to ‘cure’ for several weeks, intensifying the flavor. A day before being served the pudding is soaked in brandy. The presentation of the Christmas pudding is as important as the pudding itself. After Christmas dinner is finished the pudding is lit on fire with the alcohol from the brandy burning off.
Although a Christmas pudding may seem exotic to many Americans moving to London it is a fun tradition that is sure to make those finding themselves in London after an international relocation feel a part of all the festivities. The best way to combat feelings of sickness during the holidays is for those in London due to relocation jobs to try to incorporate native traditions and festivities. | 2019-04-25T07:54:01 | https://londonrelocation.com/blog/general/relocation-to-london-the-christmas-pudding/ |
Martin Bandier has signed a contract extension to remain as Chairman and CEO of Sony/ATV Music Publishing, where he has served the joint venture between Sony Corporation of America and the Estate of Michael Jackson since 2007.
Under Bandier’s leadership, Sony/ATV has become one of the world’s leading music publishers with a catalog of more than 3 million songs. These include songs by Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and Pharrell Williams as well as works by legends including The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Carole King, Queen, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder. In 2011/2012, Bandier played a key role in the acquisition of EMI Music Publishing by Sony Corporation of America, the Estate of Michael Jackson and an investment group headed by Mubadala Development Company, for whom Sony/ATV administers the EMI catalog.
“Renewing Marty’s relationship with Sony/ATV avails the Estate of his enormous creative and executive talents as we strategically and profitably meet the challenges of our evolving business,” said Branca and McClain, co-executors of the Estate of Michael Jackson.
Bandier’s Sony/ATV appointment followed a 17-year stint running EMI Music Publishing, which he took over in 1989 after his company SBK was acquired by EMI and which he turned into what was then the world’s leading music publishing company.
While at Sony/ATV he has negotiated the acquisitions of both the Famous Music catalog, which includes scores for film such as The Godfather, Braveheart and Mission Impossible, and the Leiber & Stoller catalog whose hits include “Stand By Me,” “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock.” Finalized in 2007, the acquisition of the historic Leiber & Stoller catalog fulfilled a dream and business goal that Michael Jackson specifically iterated in the agreement for the formation of Sony/ATV in 1995.
During his time at Sony/ATV, Bandier has championed fair value for songwriters, working to ensure that writers are fairly compensated for their work by music streaming services.
Throughout his tenure the company and its songwriters have won numerous awards, including this last year when Sony/ATV was named Pop Publisher of the Year by both ASCAP and BMI in the U.S. In February 2015 he became the first ever music publisher to receive the Grammy Awards’ President’s Merit Award for his work in the music industry during a Grammy weekend when many of the company’s songwriters, including Sam Smith and Pharrell Williams, were also honored. He has been inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, while among his many industry roles he serves on the boards of the City of Hope, ASCAP, the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the National Music Publishers Association (NMPA).
Under his management, the company has enjoyed significant success on Broadway with Motown The Musical and the double Tony Awards winner Beautiful – The Carole King Musical, both of which have expanded into international tours.
Bandier is additionally a trustee of Syracuse University where in 2006 he founded a music and entertainment degree program called The Bandier Program for Music and Entertainment Industries. Last year, Billboard named it one of the top schools in the U.S. to learn about the music industry. | 2019-04-23T06:26:17 | https://musicrow.com/2016/01/sonyatv-chairman-and-ceo-signs-contract-extension/ |

"Characterization of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome in rur" by Lei Zhang, Ling Ye et al.
Severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome virus (SFTSV) infections have recently been found in rural regions of Zhejiang. A severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) surveillance and sero-epidemiological investigation was conducted in the districts with outbreaks. During the study period of 2011–2014, a total of 51 SFTSV infection cases were identified and the case fatality rate was 12% (6/51). Ninety two percent of the patients (47/51) were over 50 years of age, and 63% (32/51) of laboratory confirmed cases occurred from May to July. Nine percent (11/120) of the serum samples from local healthy people without symptoms were found to be positive for antibodies to the SFTS virus. SFTSV strains were isolated by culture using Vero, and the whole genomic sequences of two SFTSV strains (01 and Zhao) were sequenced and submitted to the GenBank. Homology analysis showed that the similarity of the target nucleocapsid gene from the SFTSV strains from different geographic areas was 94.2–100%. From the constructed phylogenetic tree, it was found that all the SFTSV strains diverged into two main clusters. Only the SFTSV strains from the Zhejiang (Daishan) region of China and the Yamaguchi, Miyazakj regions of Japan, were clustered into lineage II, consistent with both of these regions being isolated areas with similar geographic features. Two out of eight predicted linear B cell epitopes from the nucleocapsid protein showed mutations between the SFTSV strains of different clusters, but did not contribute to the binding ability of the specific SFTSV antibodies. This study confirmed that SFTSV has been circulating naturally and can cause a seasonal prevalence in Daishan, China. The results also suggest that the molecular characteristics of SFTSV are associated with the geographic region and all SFTSV strains can be divided into two genotypes. | 2019-04-26T16:07:21 | https://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/dugoni-facarticles/40/ |
Sienna’s autism diagnosis at age 4 was one element of her connection to Packard Children’s, but her history with the hospital goes all the way back to her infancy.
Born with a chronic lung condition, Sienna had trouble breathing and had to wear oxygen 24/7 from birth. At 10 months old, her respiratory distress worsened and she was admitted to Packard Children’s under the care of pediatric pulmonologist Sumit Bhargava, MD—the first of many hospital stays. Sienna’s condition makes infections like pneumonia especially dangerous. Respiratory failure once put her in a coma for five days.
Over the years, Sienna and her parents have relied on Packard Children’s Complex Primary Care Clinic to help them navigate the daunting task of coordinating with care providers across multiple specialties. In addition to pulmonologists, Sienna sees respiratory therapists, nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and gastroenterologists.
Thank you, Scamper-ers, for supporting patients at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Stanford. You help Sienna and children like her overcome health challenges and live life to the fullest.
Don’t miss it as Sienna takes the stage on June 24 and is celebrated as our 2018 Summer Scamper Patient Hero representing the hope made possible by autism research. She is a star!
Register today for the 8th annual Summer Scamper on Sunday, June 24, 2018, and support care, comfort, and cures for more kids like Sienna. | 2019-04-22T16:42:22 | https://scamperblog.squarespace.com/home/2018/3/28/meet-sienna-your-2018-patient-hero-for-autism-research |
We sit on the floor. The littles and dogs playing around me. The kids—baby clad in footy pajamas and little boy in his usual Superman suit—build blocks and destroy them. Padawan training for the baby. She’s not quiet a Jedi, still learning to master the force.
My husband’s new “friend” Alexa plays Christmas music. I said I was going to hate her and she wasn’t welcome in our home, but after great display of light-dimming ability as well as finding the kids “What does the Fox say” under their command she’s welcome here.
We’re wrapped in blankets gazing out our windows, snow settled over our sweet cul-de-sac. I’m as thankful as ever, to live here, to allow my children to run and play in our big backyard, to be a part of something bigger, and yet to spend so much of my days focusing on the little and littles.
The sky brightens to a powdery blue and I can’t hardly wait to bundle up and build our season’s first snowman. The carrots are ready.
On this final post for the month of November I leave you with this: Be Thankful. Not just as the holidays roll and around and Facebook news feeds fill up with gratitude challenges, but always. In the little and the big, be thankful. For the good, swell with gratitude and for the bad, painful, ugly, be thankful as well, for without it all that goodness loses it’s flavor, it somehow becomes the norm, and quickly the status quo.
Be thankful for your car with 200,000 miles on it and the journeys you’ve had together, the old shoes in your closet and the places they’ve carried you, the sweater that has lasted you multiple seasons and the warmth it’s given. Yes, be thankful for things, but more be thankful for people, for kindness, for the ability through your own actions and choices to influence, change, love.
I get frustrated, in a funk, irritated, and lose it—my gratitude—so easily. The clean white snow reminds me this morning to circle back, recalibrate.
I sit and count my blessings. The list is so so long. I am thankful more than ever.
I love this post! Such a good reminder. Thank you my friend. | 2019-04-22T14:56:30 | https://rachelcheriebaker.com/2016/11/29/as-thankful-as-ever/ |
One of the real joys of doing my carved paintings is the wide variety of marks that I am able to make with my carving tools. In the course of my life, I have observed that people have a deep need to leave a mark of some sort on their world. An example of this would be Grafitti, and an earler series of mine from a few years ago discussed that. Grafitti is found everywhere, from walls to bathrooms to tree trunks, and is certainly abundant in San Francisco. The genesis for that series was a stay in Barcelona, where I had visited Roman ruins on which could be seen names and words left by people from 2000 years ago. Soon after, I started to use the wood panels that I use now, since they provided a firm and stable base for the plasters that I began to coat them with, subsequent to scratching marks on them. That series led directly to my carved paintings, since the wood began to seduce me with its beauty, and I came to feel that there was no need to cover it with plaster prior to making marks.
Below are some images of marks that I have made with carving tools. Since all of these are derived from nature, I hope to explore many more in their infinite variety. | 2019-04-21T21:01:05 | http://www.bobarmstrongart.com/blog/archives/12-2016 |

Adam Thorpe's home for the past 25 years has been an old house in the C vennes, a wild range of mountains in southern France. Prior to this, in an ancient millhouse in the oxbow of a C venol river, he wrote the novel that would become the Booker Prize-nominated Ulverton, now a Vintage Classic.
In more recent writing Thorpe has explored the C vennes, drawing on the legends, history, and above all the people of this part of France for his inspiration. In his charming journal, Notes from the C vennes, Thorpe takes up these themes, writing about his surroundings, the village, and his house at the heart of it, as well as the contrasts of city life in nearby N mes. In particular he is interested in how the past leaves impressions--marks--on our landscape and on us. What do we find in the grass, earth, and stone beneath our feet and in the objects around us? How do they tie us to our forebears? What traces have been left behind and what marks do we leave now?
Part celebration of both rustic and urban France, part memoir, Thorpe's humorous and precise prose shows a wonderful stylist at work, recalling classics such as Robert Louis Stevenson's Travels with a Donkey in the C vennes. | 2019-04-20T11:02:59 | https://elsternwick.avenuebookstore.com.au/p/travel-notes-from-the-cevennes-half-a-lifetime-in-provincial-france--3 |

Your Inventory Taking Sheets must be organized by specific locations. As soon as you have completed your physical inventory, you should check these items on your collection sheets. If you decide to send your own inventory, you can send it with FedEx and get a really great accounting system that personally, like, for example, a lot. For example, an inventory of items and a retail inventory will be different. The initial inventory is the initial sheet and the first column that must be completed when you receive articles for concession sales. Inventory count at the top of your head is silly because the procedure is usually tedious.
You can use inventories for virtually any equipment, food or different product based on your company. Cycle inventory counting is an easy approach that you can use to control your inventory. Controlling your food inventory at the end of the month and the price of food is essential both for your company and for your own reputation as an expert.
Effective inventory management is crucial for business owners, but, nevertheless, it can also be useful at home. Certainly, proper accounting is vital for non-commercial institutions. Daily accounting includes maintenance.
When you know what type of product you would like to sell, then you should look for a dropship provider that can respond to your demands. If you can not match the article, then it is much better to make a new list. Doing a physical inventory count is an important part that ensures the truth of your inventory system, and is as vital as buying and selling a new item.
There are many templates created by designers, it is possible to choose and change anything you want to create your professional e-commerce site. Specialized operations There are many different forms of operations frequently connected with compliance. Specialized operations There are many types of operations related to IM.
In general, computer quantities should not be shown on the tally sheets, however, in smaller environments, it could be more efficient to include things such as the quantities available, as long as the count is done by the equipment, and the count of people being unable to keep up with the recent amounts. Depending on the size of your storage region, you may also need to create a single count sheet per section. It is equally critical to keep the sheet as creating the sheet. Inventory sheets should be tracked when there is more than 1 inventory handled by your company. The inventory count sheets are completely free and easy to customize.
Great luck and do not forget to check with my guide for more support and templates that can be downloaded. Because the templates are easy to edit, do not hesitate to customize the plan, although you can use the model as is. In addition, there are Excel templates, so if you export information from your accounting system, you can organize them into the most appropriate columns with the most appropriate column headings and upload them to your BI tool. Therefore, it is good to have a complete template. It is also possible to use brochure templates provided by an Internet catalog company. | 2019-04-22T22:52:38 | https://charlotteclergycoalition.com/inventory-control-template-with-count-sheet/ |
dc.description.abstract The aim of gene delivery research is to develop clinically pertinent vectors that can be used to combat elusive diseases. Moreover, gene modulation efficacy of nonviral vectors have been hindered by numerous in vitro and in vivo barriers that have resulted in subviral performance. Specifically, delivery a vector must overcome barriers including the extracellular milieu, cellular uptake, escape from the endosomal compartments prior to trafficking to lysosomes, cytosolic transport and nuclear localization of the genetic cargo. This thesis describes the development of a second generation of bio-synthetic gene delivery vectors in the context of conducting a systematic structure-function assessment using a library of mannosylated poly(beta-amino esters). Through a top-down screening methodology, an optimized polymer was selected on the basis of gene delivery efficacy and was then selected as the compositional background for the synthesis of a stratified molecular weight polymer library. Moreover, by eliminating contributions of polymer compositional background, we were able to analyze gene delivery efficacy as a function of (1) polymer molecular weight, (2) relative mannose content, (3) polymer-membrane biophysical properties, (4) APC-uptake specificity, and (5) serum inhibition. In summary, the flexibility and potential of the hybrid design featured in this work highlights the ability to systematically probe vector-associated properties for the development of translational gene delivery candidates. | 2019-04-24T13:59:57 | https://ubir.buffalo.edu/xmlui/handle/10477/51812?show=full |

The Australia Remembers series of NCLT 20c continues with a third release in March 2011. Previous issues have been the 2010 Lost Soldiers of Fromelles 20c, PNC and 2009 Service Nurses 20c. This series recognises and celebrates those people who made history beyond the battlefields.
The 2011 coin remembers War Historians who shaped our perceptions of conflicts since the Boer War. People such as Australia's most famous war correspondent Charles Edwin Woodrow (CEW) Bean who was the first official correspondent of the First World War and founder of the Australian War Memorial, and Damien Parer, one of Australia's most famous combat cameramen who was killed by Japanese machine guns in 1944 whilst filming marines advancing under fire.
The image depicted on the reverse of the coin sculpted by the Royal Australian Mints' Wojciech Pietranik was designed using an image from the Australian War Memorial photographic archives. Of course some changes had to be made for the image to transform to a coin design and the official photographer, Captain George Hubert Wilkins, MC was removed for the coin. Staff Sergeant William Joyce is seen standing with tripod and camera on a British Mark V tank as the pair record the advance of Australian troops through the Hindenburg Line. Of course this coin design is meant to be a representation of all war historians and celebrate those who brought the front line back to those at home.
The obverse of the coin depicts the standard Ian Rank-Broadley image of HM Queen Elizabeth II. This 20c is released as non-circulating legal tender (NCLT) and is housed in a capsule in an informative card. The card design features red Flanders Poppies, an important symbol of remembrance and another image from the War Memorial archives of war correspondent Mr L. O'Dwyer interviewing members of the 2/8 infantry battalion in New Guinea, 1945.
Issued for $6.95 this uncirculated 11.3g 28.52mm cupro nickel 20c will not be found in your change. | 2019-04-19T15:04:25 | https://www.australian-coins.com/blog/2011/03/2011-20c-remembering-war-historians.html |
What is your role at CityLife?
My name is Doug Caister (which is pronounced exactly the way you think it wouldn’t be..."Kay-ster"), and I’m the Counseling Pastor here at CityLife. My jobs here include things like: counseling (crazy right?), discipleship, guest services, and cleaning out storage rooms. It’s a great title, and I’ve really come to love the role I play.
How did you hear about CityLife?
I joined with this church a little over a year ago, when the church I was pastoring at merged with CityLife to join with their mission to unite this city. This merge aided us both, providing both congregations with more brothers and sisters in Christ to befriend and worship alongside with. Also, the CityLife youth got new chairs, which help them retain feeling in their butts when the sermons go long.
I personally love spending time hiking outdoors, preferably with my lovely wife. I also enjoy reading action & adventure books, engaging in action & adventure parenting, and watching sci fi movies with the family.
I’ve been married to my beautiful, selfless wife Tammy for almost 23 years. We have 3 amazing kids who continue to surprise us each day. Our oldest, Emily, is 20 years old, and is a Junior at Indiana Wesleyan University. She enjoys things like reading, going on runs, and shaming our non-vegan eating habits. Our suffering middle child, Mitchell, is 17 years old, and will be a senior in High School this fall. He enjoys various activities, such as: playing guitar, spending time with friends, and making dad jokes. Our youngest, Nick, is 13 years old, and is in the eighth grade. He enjoys “playing airsoft”, meaning he likes to shoot his brother with a gun capable of firing a small plastic sphere at several hundred feet per second (nothing “airy” or “soft” about any of it). We love spending time together as a family, and we always have a great time.
One of my favorite hobbies is beekeeping. I have one beehive, which supplies us with about a hundred thousand extra pets. I am also raising a small team of ducks, who are currently in their angsty teenage phase, and are also terrified of everything. | 2019-04-18T18:41:02 | http://www.citylifegreenwood.com/doug-caister---counseling-pastor--discipleship.html |
Don’t get caught in the Dysfunction Spiral.
If you find yourself here, what do you?
Jump ship to a stop-gap job. See more here.
Engage another person to brainstorm, hold you accountable, and help you make the leap. Isolation is the enemy in a Dysfunction Spiral. But don’t just pick anyone. Complaining to your mom or your best friend doesn’t get you anywhere. Find someone who can actually help you move and take steps. Even a weekly meeting with that person will yield more results than working alone. As a coach, I’m more and more convinced that people pay me less for my expertise and more for my accountability.
The Dysfunction Spiral is vicious, because it can trap you in something you hate for a really long time.
Take steps to break free. | 2019-04-23T12:22:55 | http://www.thinkreset.com/home/dont-get-caught-in-the-dysfunction-spiral |

Urging the destruction of an “entire category” of unconventional weapons, the Norwegian Nobel Committee awarded its 2013 Peace Prize on Friday to a modest and little-known United Nations-backed organization that has drawn sudden attention with a mission to ensure that Syria’s stocks of chemical arms are eradicated.
노르웨이의 노벨상 위원회는 금요일 모든 비재래식 무기의 폐기를 강조하며2013년 노벨 평화상을 크지 않고 잘 알려지지 않은 UN 산하 기관에 수여했다. 시리아의 화학 무기 비축분을 폐기시키려는 임무를 지닌 이 기관은 노벨 평화상 수상으로 인해 주변의 관심을 끌고 있다.
The award, to the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, surprised some Nobel watchers partly because of the unprecedented nature of its current task: overseeing the destruction of a previously secret chemical weapons program quickly amid a raging civil war.
노벨상 수상에 대해 예의주시하고 있는 자들은 화학무기금지기구의 수상에 대해 놀라움을 금치 못했다. 그 부분적인 이유는 이 기구가 심화되고 있는 내전 속에서 베일 속에 감쳐져있던 화학 무기 프로그램의 폐기라는 전례 없는 임무를 수행하고 있기 때문이다.
노벨 평화상 수상이 발표된 후 아흐메트 우줌쿠 OPCW 사무총장은OPCW의 본부가 위치해 있는 헤이그에서 “우리는 묵묵히 작업을 해왔지만, 세계 평화에 확실히 기여하고 있는 것이라고 알고 있었다”고 기자들에게 말했다. 그는 이어 “지난 몇 주간 우리의 작업이 전면부로 나타났다. 국제 사회 전체가 우리의 작업에 대해서 알게 되었다”고 말했다.
Among diplomats, the prize was seen as the high point of a startling rise to prominence for an organization that had worked in relative obscurity. Some Syrians, however, took strong exception to the idea of lauding chemical weapons watchdogs when the bulk of the more than 100,000 deaths in Syria’s 31-month-old conflict have been caused by conventional weapons, like airstrikes and artillery and rocket fire.
외교가에서는 OPCW의 수상으로 인해 상대적으로 잘 알려지지 않은 OPCW가 일약 명성을 얻게 된 과정이 절정에 달했다는 관측이 나오고 있다. 하지만 몇몇 시리아인들은31개월 간 지속된 시리아 내전에서 십만명 이상의 사망자 다수가 공습, 포격, 그리고 로켓 발사 같은 재래식 무기로 인하여 발생한 것을 감안하며, 화학 무기 감시 기구인 OPCW에 영예를 준 것에 대해 강한 반감을 보였다.
Despite the urgency and danger of its task, the organization had not been seen as a likely winner. In the days leading up to the award, much attention was focused on individual candidates, including Malala Yousafzai, the 16-year-old Pakistani who risked her life to campaign for girls’ education and would have been the youngest recipient ever.
OPCW는 수행 중인 임무의 중요성과 위험에도 불구하고 유력 후보자로 보여지지 않았었다. 수상 발표 날까지 많은 사람들은 개인 후보들에게 주의를 기울였었다. 그 중에는 소녀들의 교육권리를 주장하기 위해 생명의 위협을 무릅썼었고 최연소 수상자가 됐을 뻔한 16살 파키스탄 소녀 말라라 유사프자이가 포함되어 있었다.
수상 발표문에 노벨상 위원회는 OPCW와 이 기관의 설립 근거가 된 1997년 화학무기금지협약이 “국제법 아래 화학 무기의 사용을 금지하였다”고 발표했다.
“Recent events in Syria, where chemical weapons have again been put to use, have underlined the need to enhance the efforts to do away with such weapons,” the citation said.
이어서 발표문은 “또다시 화학무기가 사용되고 있는 시리아에서의 최근 사건들은 화학무기들을 폐기하는 노력의 강화가 필요하다는 것을 보여주었다”고 말했다.
It was the second successive year that the panel, based in Oslo, had chosen an organization. The European Union won the 2012 prize.
작년에 이어 두 번째 연속으로 노벨상 위원회가 특정 기구를 대상으로 평화상을 수여한 것이다. EU는 2012년 노벨평화상을 수상했었다.

San Antonio Charter Moms founder and executive director Inga Cotton demonstrates a new mobile app that allows users to search for area charter schools.
About seven years after Inga Cotton created the San Antonio Charter Moms blog, she noticed that the most-visited web page on the site was a listing of all the city’s charter schools.
Cotton decided the best way to help parents find a charter school that fit their student would be to develop a phone app, San Antonio Charter Schools, with useful information on each school.
She began developing the program in October and officially launched the app on Wednesday. A Spanish-language program is still under development but will be ready to use in about a month, she said.
Users log on to see a map with 82 pins representing each local charter school, including in-district charters, open enrollment charteres, and district-charter partner schools. If a family’s local address didn’t matter to a school during the enrollment process, Cotton included it in her list.
A screenshot from the iOS version of the San Antonio Charter Moms app shows charter schools.
A screenshot from the iOS version of the San Antonio Charter Moms app allows users to get key information on the schools.
Users can zoom in and out to narrow the list down by geographic location or limit their search to specific grade levels. The app also filters by school quality, based on the Texas Education Agency’s school report cards and A-F ratings for each district, Cotton said.
Once users select a school, they can look at its profile, which contains information on how to apply to the school and what kind of a school model the campus uses. The profile includes details of special program offerings like dual language or a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) emphasis.
The English version of the app is free and available on iTunes and in the Google Play store.

I spent most of the day wistfully thinking back to when I was a child, which lead me to thinking about where all the time has gone, which lead me to thinking about all those who came before us whose memories have faded away, which lead me to thinking about the long stretches of time that goes in between seeing my family, which lead me to thinking about the wrinkles and age spots I see on my parent’s skin, which lead me to thinking about my own gray hairs and spiderweb wrinkles around my eyes that will only multiply with age, which lead me to thinking about my once vivacious adopted grandfather who is suffering from Alzheimer’s and is alone in a care facility where he idly watches the clock tick, which lead me to thinking about my beautiful grandmother whose legs are making it difficult to walk, which lead me to looking at pictures of when we were all younger and happy. The pictures of my adopted grandfather squeezing my grandmother tightly as they dance at my cousin’s wedding. The pictures of my mother and I on our various adventures. The pictures of me, my mom and my dad before our family fell apart.
The emotional toll of looking at our former lives and then thinking of what the future holds became unbearable and I opted to go to sleep, even though I didn’t want to.
I wanted nothing more than to sleep the holiday away and wake up to a new day of strategically avoiding certain thoughts.
I envy those who do not dwell on the past.
Sorry to bum y’all out.
Do you feel funky on holidays?
It’s not usually holidays that do it to me. Oddly, it’s Sunday afternoons when the funk creeps in for me. In that depressed state, I do some of my best writing.
I definitely feel kind of a funk on holidays, especially when friends take that opportunity to come visit. It’s always kind of bittersweet for me. | 2019-04-18T18:38:46 | http://www.hipstercrite.com/2013/09/03/holiday-depression-on-holidays-i-confuse-for-memorial-day/?replytocom=141144 |
Does Black Friday Have An Impact On The Stock Market?
This Thursday is Thanksgiving. But the real feast for investors and traders comes the following day. Strong retail performance on “Black Friday” could boost stock prices and predict the direction of the market for the rest of the year. But unexpectedly weak sales might cause a panic—proving that consumer confidence and the underlying economy is not that strong, and giving retail traders an excuse to bail out of an overheated stock market. Sounds exciting, but it is not necessarily true!
Black Friday—the day after Thanksgiving—is traditionally the busiest retail shopping day of the year. Department stores pack Thanksgiving papers with inserts, they advertise with flyers, TV and the web, and shoppers line up before dawn the next day to capitalize on the “door busters”. Black Friday is also the day that retailers are supposed to turn “in the black” for the year after presumably stocking up on inventory in the earlier months.
The second tradition is clearly obsolete: with just-in-time inventory management, no retailer could afford to wait 11 months to turn profitable. But it is indeed the “busiest day of the year”, if you believe Wikipedia: since 2003, every Black Friday except one has indeed seen higher retail sales volume than any other date. Of course, this may be a self-fulfilling prophecy since stores have longer opening hours on that day and offer their biggest discounts and loss leaders.
Black Friday has occasionally had a temporary effect on the stock market. In 2011, the DJIA increased almost 300 points on the following Monday after retailers reported stronger-than-expected sales. However, financial newsletter writer Mark Hulbert did an analysis of 114 years of market activity in which he tracked the correlation between market performance on the Friday and Monday after Thanksgiving and the balance of the year, and found… no correlation.
There are other considerations when looking Black Friday as a leading indicator for the markets. At one time there was very little price discounting for the holidays; now it’s pervasive. So a strong sales performance on that day may have very little bearing on a retailer’s profitability. Also, “Cyber Monday” on the Monday after Thanksgiving is becoming an equally important benchmark. If people can’t go shopping on Friday (or prefer not to battle the crowds), they increasingly place online orders on Monday when they return to work. Weather can also have an impact: if it’s terrible, more people may stay home.
So for traders looking for clues as to where the market is headed, Black Friday may not offer the best set of tea leaves. A strong or weak Black Friday performance may be a confirming factor, or it may be an outlier, but it doesn’t have the ability to change the direction of the market by itself. You’re probably better off with the supply and demand trading strategy taught at Online Trading Academy, which allows traders and investors to anticipate market turns with a high degree of accuracy. | 2019-04-26T08:34:46 | https://www.tradingacademy.com/lessons/article/does-black-friday-have-an-impact-on-the-stock-market/ |
Ever since Uber popped out of nowhere and completely transformed how people get from point A to point B, I have been asking: What will be the Uber of higher education? What disruptive technology will come along and do to colleges and universities what Uber did to taxis?
My thinking on this has recently evolved. Rather than one single Uber disruption, I fear the 'Uber of higher education' will be the perception that college is irrelevant, coupled with the confluence of many disruptive Ubers, all competing for students' attention and interests � and all leading potential students away from higher education entirely.
In light of this threat, I believe it is imperative for those working in higher education, especially those senior technologists who are the decision makers on campus � and who can bring new technologies directly into the hands of students, faculty and staff � to be knowledgeable of the critical role they play in communicating that the college experience in its best forms is relevant and essential to today's students. Those students, and even the faculty and staff now working with them, have grown up in a media- and technology-rich environment that often makes the college classroom seem staid and boring by comparison.
Although challenging, the need to project relevance through a media- and technology-rich user experience on campus is one of the most critical functions for technologists working to support higher education.
Colleges and universities are at a critical juncture to make the case for their relevancy to a population who likely doesn't subscribe to their parents' nostalgia for the college experience � and for whom many viable options to career without college exist like never before.
For much of higher education's history, the dominant narrative for why people should go to college has been predicated on prosperity. Higher education was seen as an engine of opportunity for high school graduates to advance their social class, acquire knowledge and skills, and learn what they value and how those values could improve their communities, as well as themselves. People went to college to 'get a better job' and 'have a better life' � even if the link between a college experience and that better life was sometimes opaque. Having a college degree meant something to graduates, their parent, and future employers and it is what drove undergraduate enrollment and allowed higher education to flourish.
The calculus for that equation is changing and changing rapidly. According to NPR, undergraduate enrollment in the U.S. for the 2018-2019 academic year is down for the sixth straight year. Colleges and universities are competing against a multitude of interests to keep students' attention and persuade them that a college degree, and the enormous personal cost associated with that degree, isn't worth the return on investment.
To that end, colleges and universities must convince potential students (customers, if we're being honest) that a college education is still relevant and, as importantly, that colleges and universities remain key to a better career and a better quality of life for individuals and communities.
The modern college student lives in a media- and technology-rich environment that is endlessly changing and which demands constant attention. In a persistently stimulating environment, people ask themselves: Is this worth my attention? What are you trying to tell me, get me to look at, push me to read or watch or buy or do? Why should I pay attention to you? What is the next shiny object for me to look at?
Today's media landscape has shaped all of us to be less tolerant of delayed gratification and the ambiguity of the message, whatever that message might be. Past generations might have been more likely to accept vague answers to questions of why things were done in school in a particular way. That has changed with the proliferation of options and competing messages. The pressure to change with the times is more pressing than ever.
I worry for the future of higher education when students ask (rightfully in many cases): What's the point of this? Why am I here when I could get a good job without all of this debt and time wasting?
I think those questions are often asked subconsciously, but I fear that collectively it points to the need for colleges and universities to do a better job mirroring the world outside of campus life to appear relevant to students; and then deliver an important educational experience that imparts the learning and development we know are important for creating good humans.
For colleges and universities to thrive in the future, they must convince students (and parents) that what they offer is unique, important, and relevant to a student's development and future success, usually in a career, but also for 'a better life'.
As smart homes, smart cars, and smart public spaces continue to develop, it is inevitable that university students, faculty, and staff are going to demand smarter campuses and a better user experience that parallels their experience of media and technology away from campus.
Planning for the future has already begun and the user experience of a brave new world is here. People in modern society, and certainly traditional-aged college students, are navigating their social spaces and deciding what those social spaces could and should look like. Classrooms, hallways, common areas, and living spaces are just a few of the many places on contemporary campuses poised to undergo a transformation when AI, AR, VR and wearables become more common and are woven into the day-to-day experience of higher education.
As designers and planners envision the next generation of smart, connected, intelligent buildings and campuses, they must consider the human behavior and user expectations (both individually and collectively) that will interface in their design. To do anything less threatens to confirm that higher education is irrelevant, and to starve future generations of the vital learning opportunities and communities that are key to better employment and enriched lives for all of us. | 2019-04-20T18:13:19 | https://realcomm.com/advisory/900/1/2030-and-beyond-campus-of-the-future-higher-education |
Increasing rotor size is the easiest way to reduce the Levelized Cost of Energy (LCoE). Larger rotors require longer blades, but we have now reached the limits of what can be achieved using traditional methods. Conventional fibreglass blades become too heavy when lengthened, placing enormous loads on the turbine. Moreover, such blades would be extremely difficult and costly to produce and transport, as well as taking a long time to manufacture. These problems far outweigh the potential benefits of making longer fibreglass blades.
The team at ACT Blade have come up with a way around this problem by developing a blade made of textiles and composite materials rather than fibreglass, which leads to a product up to 50% lighter and 30% stiffer than its traditional counterparts. This enables us to produce a much longer blade which can harvest more wind, in turn increasing energy production by 10%. | 2019-04-23T16:33:46 | http://actblade.com/increasing-annual-energy-production/ |

Get updates, commentary, and analysis as the Bruins take on the Montreal Canadiens in Game 6 of their Stanley Cup playoff series.
Ken Albert. RT @gosoxgo2458 : @GlobeKPD who's announcing tonight?
Bruins haven't clinched an Eastern Conference playoff series on the road since 2009, against, guess who, the Habs. Can change that tonight.
Drove up today, introduced @cgasper to the wonders of Tim Hortons.
Don't see Douglas Murray on for warmups. Looks like Michel Therrien quit drinking decaf.
Douglas Murray not on the ice for the Habs as the teams are out for warmups. Third line will need to work a little harder tonight.
Per MTL warmups: Pacioretty-Desharnais-Gallagher, Bournival-Plekanec-Vanek, Bourque-Eller-Gionta, Weise-Briere-Prust.
On D: Markov-Emelin, Gorges-Subban, Beaulieu-Weaver. Murray out.
LRT: Third line to see mostly Beaulieu-Weaver tonight. Can they have the same kind of success?
Per Bruins warmups: Lucic-Krejci-Iginla, Marchand-Bergeron-Smith, Fraser-Soderberg-Eriksson, Paille-Campbell-Thornton.
#Canadiens have declared Game 6 a Murray-free Monday.
On D: Chara-Hamilton, Bartkowski-Boychuk, Krug-Miller. Lineup is status quo.
#fridgealert : Roughly 30 mins. to facoff, #Bruins Habs. Game 6. Mind the time. Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Son of #fridgealert : Make that roughtly 20 min.s to faceoff....twenty...vingt.
Bell Centre is probably a quarter full. The citizens of Montreal are outside, partying it up. Expecting raucous crowd.

As we've said often on this site, government grants for housing are really, really rare. The word grant implies that you don't have to repay the money, in contrast with a loan. Other forms of housing subsidy are much more common.
We're sorry to say that this page is totally U.S. centered. Governments worldwide provide many types of housing grants, subsidies, and incentives; such grants are more prevalent in Europe, for instance, than in the U.S., by a wide margin.
During the Great Recession we enjoyed some exceptions to that rule in the form of federal tax credits that have now expired. If your city is interested in awarding grants, check carefully to see if a state or federal program you once enjoyed is still available.
Another type of assistance that will not have to be repaid may come in the form of disaster relief, for victims of hurricanes, earthquakes, or wildfires.
But in ordinary situations and economic times, government grants for housing come with strings attached. The location or condition of the housing unit, your income or situation in life, or the home having been in foreclosure or forfeited for non-payment of taxes might qualify you for some taxpayer assistance.
One common program is the provision of non-repayable grants to help households assemble a down payment. You could check to see if your state or local government is offering first-time homebuyer credits or other incentives. Often state housing agencies provide first-time homebuyer grants, but pass them through to a select few local banks or credit unions that administer the program.
The quite flexible federal HOME Investment Partnerships money that is awarded automatically to states and some localities based on need can be used for homebuyer assistance if that is the local government's choice. All of this funding must be used to assist low-income and very-low-income households.
State and local jurisdictions administer this program, and program rules are inconsistent from place to place, and from time to time.
Housing Choice Vouchers that let tenants find their own housing if they find a landlord that will work within government guidelines.
To learn how these programs operate, contact a local agency called the "housing authority." In spite of the fact that the dollars behind these programs are federal funds, the administration is local. Cities and counties are allowed to decide whether to form housing authorities, so an urbanized county could conceivably have a county housing authority and one or more municipal housing authorities operating within its boundaries.
Lastly, please check with your local city or county government. Many of them used their federal Neighborhood Stabilization Program money to provide actual grants to people purchasing foreclosures, but that program is closed almost everywhere. From time to time, a local government may offer homes for sale at a very substantial discount, which would be equivalent to receiving a grant for housing.
For instance, tax forfeiture properties are available for purchase from a county government, usually for very modest prices, or even $1 in the occasional aggressive program. It's also worth checking into whether any local land banks offer discounted housing that they have acquired other than through non-payment of taxes. Some of these entities are non-profit corporations of some type rather than governments as such; others are overloaded government bureaucracies.
Conceivably, some local governments offer grants to particular income levels or in specific neighborhoods through their regular Community Development Block Grant program.
Lastly, a particular local government might offer a limited-time cash incentive for home purchase for particular buyers or neighborhoods, or they might even have corporation or foundation money to write down the costs of certain kinds of housing. It's worth checking with city government.
Never pay for information about government grants for housing, and don't trust a commercial website more than you trust the government agency. Unfortunately, sometimes federal, state, and local governments let their website information grow stale, so a phone inquiry is always best after you've done a little background checking on the Internet.
For any federal program we refer to, call the Department of Housing and Urban Development at 800-255-5342. To locate most state housing agencies, click the link in this sentence.
On this page, we confined ourselves to these few opportunities for government grants for housing. For a much more complete overview of the many ways that governments at various levels might subsidize your purchase of a home or your rent through making loans more affordable, offering free or low-interest loans for home repairs, and so forth, please see the much longer page on government housing assistance in general. | 2019-04-20T13:13:51 | https://www.useful-community-development.org/government-grants-for-housing.html |
At LAZ Parking, Nathan Owen is tasked with looking after the financial wellbeing of a nationwide family. The key is putting the needs of people before the company’s bottom line.
When you think of parking lots and valets, what comes to mind? For some, perhaps, a boring or tedious experience. For Nathan Owen, CFO of LAZ Parking, parking can represent a number of important moments. Valets might be one’s first human interaction in a foreign land, upon arriving at a hotel or resort. Or they could be wingmen creating a stress-free dining experience at a five-star restaurant. Valets can even provide assistance at the hospital during emergencies.
For Owen and the rest of LAZ Parking, the second largest parking company in the US, their parking operations—and more importantly, the people who run them—represent a large and loyal family.
Few people embody The LAZ Way quite as well as Owen. He jests that he has quite the loyalty streak, but it’s true—he’s only ever worked for two employers, married his high school sweetheart (they’ve been together for twenty-seven years), and he still supports his childhood soccer team, the Wolverhampton Wanderers. Throughout the years before he joined LAZ Parking, Owen received many offers to join other companies, but nothing proved worth his attention until he got the offer from LAZ and looked into the type of company it is. | 2019-04-19T20:57:42 | https://lazparking.com/our-company/about/news/2018/09/21/laz-cfo-nathan-owen-featured-in-profile-magazine |

My maternal grandparents, Charles and Minnie Holsinger, lived in Kansas City, Kansas. Charles worked as an ice-delivery man, saving his money so that the family could buy a farm. He made the final payment in 1947 and moved the family to out their new home, near the Oklahoma border.
Minnie kept scrap books durning the 1930’s and 40’s, clip from magazines of the period. They bespeak a nostalgic longing for country life; I wonder how the actual experience measured up to her dreams. I never spoke to her about it. Growing up in Anchorage, Alaska, I only saw her a handful of times when she was alive.
Some of the material she saved is kitschy to my jaded, cynical eyes, but some of it is quite beautiful. I am always struck by the level of craft that was commonplace, taken for granted in illustration and cartooning in the early half of the 20th century. This painting is a case in point. It is signed by Ralph Palley Coleman. He worked extensively for Saturday Evening Post, Libery, Needlepoint, Motor Age and other magazines in the 1920s to the 1940s. | 2019-04-26T02:24:35 | http://blog.raderofthelostart.com/2018/05/the-farmers-wife-minnie-holsinger.html |

Learn to identify bird behaviors as you observe birds.
Prepare a bird behavior checklist.
Learn to define bird behavior so you will recognize it when you see it.
Giving an alarm call: hard to distinguish from a song, but usually shorter and simpler than songs.
Foraging: searching for food on the ground, in bark, in water, etc. Food could include seeds, fruits, fish, even small mammals and reptiles!
You can print out this helpful bird behavior activity worksheet to help remember the behaviors.
In this worksheet, you can track how many times a bird does a behavior. You could discuss with others why some behaviors seem to be more common than others.
Think about where birds flock in your community.
Head outside to a park or a tree-lined street, where birds of different species can be observed.
If there is a pond or lake in your community, you could go there to see water birds.
In cities, birds like pigeons tend to congregate in places where they might scavenge for food, such as near restaurants.
Join a local bird watching group for support.
Our Nature Find (broken link) website allows you to search for local bird watching events.
Each year in December, there are annual bird counting events at many nature centers, and they will often provide training in bird identification.
If you live in a city, Project Pigeonwatch is a fun option.
Birds are such beautiful creatures. If you sit quietly to sketch or photograph them, they might even come closer to you! | 2019-04-22T14:17:54 | https://rangerrick.org/crafts_activities/bird-behavior-walk/ |

Low shear technology developed by Typhonix and used in the Typhoon® Valve Systems is the Innovation Award Winner of this year at ONS2018 in Stavanger, Norway. Winning the Innovation Award is a recognition for Typhoon Valve System and confirms the prowess of Typhonix and Mokveld in low shear valve technology. Where Typhonix in Norway is developing the low shear technology and Mokveld Valves BV in The Netherlands is manufacturing the Typhoon Valve Systems.
By reducing shear forces in control valves and choke valves, Typhoon Valve System is a cost effective solution for cleaner production. It is the most cost-efficient solution to debottleneck separation and produced water treatment systems as it does not require any additional equipment, simply replace the existing valve.
In every process plant you will find sources of unwanted shear forces creating emulsification of oil and water. The main principle behind low shear processing is prevention of separation problems caused by droplet shearing of the production fluids in conventional valves. Replacing these existing valves to low shear versions gives significantly improved separation and less oil residues in the produced water.
In contrast to conventional choke and control valves, Typhoon Valve uses patented trim technology to involve a larger fluid volume that is actively dissipating energy. By using low shear valves and pumps it is also estimated that greenfield separation plants can be built 30 - 50% lighter and smaller, which will have large cost saving potential on both OPEX and CAPEX for the oil companies.
Typhoon Valve System enables users to reach higher well production rates, to extend late-life field production, to reduce the footprint of the process plant and of course to produce cleaner oil or produced water. | 2019-04-23T22:43:09 | https://www.oilfieldtechnology.com/drilling-and-production/30082018/typhoon-valve-system-wins-ons2018-innovation-award/ |
Through CSI, jurors have been introduced to forensic sciences and testing techniques that are often innovative and on the cutting edge. However, many of the techniques displayed on the television show are unfeasible for local law enforcement agencies that are strapped for resources, or the techniques have not undergone proper testing for reliability. For instance, experts have doubts about the reliability of bitemark testing as a means of identifying suspects, but such techniques are used in the show. As a result, jurors will often over-estimate the reliability of forensic sciences and will also expect prosecutors to use forensic science testing in even simple and straightforward cases. | 2019-04-20T14:48:48 | https://forensicsforum.net/2015/09/27/new-york-post-addresses-the-csi-effect-among-jurors/ |
