From the A30 shortly after the Bodmin by-pass you will go under an iron bridge (height restricted to 14'3''). Shortly after the iron bridge you will see a right turn towards St Mawgan Airfield/St Columb Major. Take this turning and follow the road to a large roundabout, take the 2nd turning left onto the A3059, follow for about 3 miles and look out for a left turn to Porth Reservoir, turn left there. Carry on for 200 yards where we can clearly be seen.

Vietnam's deputy health minister who is facing punishment for various wrongdoings has fired back by accusing his ministry's Communist Party unit of violating inspection regulations.\nIn his recent appeal to the standing committee of Central Agencies' Communist Party unit, Cao Minh Quang claimed that someone from the Ministry of Health Party unit's Civil Affairs Committee leaked the results of the committee's vote on his punishment, VTC News a news website of the Vietnam Television Corporation -- reported Monday.\nQuang, who is facing accusations of dishonesty and damaging internal unity at the ministry to replace his subordinates, said the vote took place at a meeting on February 16 and the result was reported in many newspapers the next day, before he was officially informed of it.\nThe leak also occured before the Communist Party of Vietnam's Central Inspectorate made its final conclusions and was thus against Party regulations on the security of agency inspections, Quang argued.\nAccording to the website, four of the committee's ten members voted to dismiss Quang from his position, while two wanted a "warning," two wanted "discipline" and another voted for removing him from the Party unit.\nAlso in his appeal, Quang asked that the inspectorate's initial conclusions be reconsidered, especially those regarding accusations that he used a false doctorate degree.\nThe Party's standing committee needs to learn more about the legal basis of the degree he earned at Uppsala University in Sweden in 1996, Quang said.\nMeanwhile, related agencies need to "respect the objective truth" and the conclusion made by the Ministry of Education and Training on his degree some ten years ago, he said.\nIn 2001, the education ministry certified Quang's degree, stating that it was equal to a doctorate in Vietnam. But last year a war veteran in Ho Chi Minh City filed accusations with the central government saying that Quang's credentials were fake.\nThis prompted the ministry to check the doctorate's authenticity again and it then concluded that degree was actually a pre-doctorate.\nAccording to the VTC News report, Quang claimed that he declared his educational degree was a doctorate in accordance with the health ministry's decision assigning him to his post.\nAmong other accusations against Quang are those made by the HCMC-based BV Pharma Joint-venture Co.\nThe company claimed that Quang has falsely accused the company of illegally selling Pseudoephedrine hydrochloride. The substance is used to produce common flu and allergy remedies, but can also be used to make illegal methamphetamine.\nIt also accused Quang of abusing power by asking the company to lend him VND1 billion (US$48,000) in 2007.\nEarlier, in 2009, the deputy health minister received a warning from the Party's inspectorate for several violations, including false accusations against the US-owned Merck Sharp and Dohme (MSD) Vietnam.\nQuang had sent a letter to MSD's chief executive officer and administrative president for the Asia-Pacific region complaining about the company's unethical lobbying activities related to a vaccine against the human papillomavirus, according to the inspectorate's report at that time.

There’s a surf break for every kind of surfer in Southeast Asia (even those who don’t know yet that they’re surfers). From the first-time beginner to the sport’s most talented, there’s a wave breaking somewhere right now that has your name on it. Surfers first began exploring the Asian continent in the 1960s, discovering breaks they tried to keep secret. But the word got out — now surf breaks all across Indonesia, the Philippines and the Maldives are part of surfing folklore. Others in countries like Sri Lanka are well on their way there — while others, in countries you probably didn’t even know had waves (like Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam) are still secret.\nSure, it might be crowded now and over-developed with resorts, cafes and shops covering most sections of the beachfront — but there’s no better place in Asia to learn to surf. There are over 15 surf schools (all with English-speaking guides) spread across eight kilometres of sand-bottom beach (most of Bali’s surf breaks have a reef bottom) split into three main areas: Kuta, Legian and Seminyak. The waves are dependable year-round and there’s some of Bali’s best luxury hotels only a few hundred metres from the sand, with some like Anantara Seminyak-Bali Resort offering pool villas looking out on the waves.\nWhat, Thailand has surf? You bet, though it’s really only for beginners as most of the swell coming up from the Indian Ocean is blocked by Sumatra in Indonesia. So what comes through are smaller, less powerful waves breaking onto soft sand — making the waves here in Phuket perfect for beginners. Kata Beach, just north of Patong, is the surf epicentre of Phuket, though it’s not usually crowded. November to February is the busy time for tourism, but the best waves break between April and October. Luxury hotels include Trisara, Akyra Beach Club, The Residences by Anantara and Sri Panwa.\nWhile Indonesia receives the most plaudits for its surfing, Vietnam slips completely under the radar. But there are waves all along Vietnam’s 1,500-km-long east coast, with decent surf breaking between October and April. The best place to learn is at Bai Dai Beach on Phu Quoc island. While domestic flights are available, you can also hop on a ferry from Ha Tien or Rach Gia. The Shack Vietnam offers lessons and beach parties with live music when you dry off, and to kick back and relax, we’d recommend putting up at JW Marriott Phu Quoc Emerald Bay.\nAnother country that’s entirely unheralded for its surfing opportunities, Malaysia’s east coast actually offers some of Asia’s best waves on the right day — including long, breaking point ride waves of 500m. But most of the time, the area’s better for beginners — especially at Cherating, 30km north of Kuantan. Once just a tiny fishing village, now there are surf-style cafe, bars and Cheratingpoint Surf School, which offers group and private lessons, accommodation and surf trips along the coast. The school’s only open during monsoon season between October and April, though waves do break year-round.\nYou’ve Learnt To Ride The Waves, Now What?\nWhile the waves can be over three metres high when storms from Africa send swells north, the Maldives is generally considered a safer proposition for surfers than the death-defying waves of Indonesia. Higher costs attract older, hot-shot surfers and executives on surf holidays. The best way to get a feel of the country’s waves is to hop on a liveaboard boat charter, taking surfers to over 100 quality breaks across hundreds of tiny islands. Or stay in an overwater bungalow on the southern atolls such as Como Maalifushi, with a boat and personal surf guide taking you to deserted breaks nearby.\nSri Lanka’s only now gaining notoriety as a surf destination, which means it’s still easy to find perfect waves with few territorial locals and visiting surfers. The best waves can be found below tourist hotspot, Galle, on Sri Lanka’s south coast. Unawatuna is five kilometres south of Galle, and surfers can find waves rarely above 1.5m high. There are lots of breaks here, so even at busy times it’s always possible to find your own wave.\nWith over 30,000km of coastline, the Philippines is the most under-rated surf destination on the planet. While Siargao Island is the destination for advanced surfers, all you need do is drive five hours along the coast from Manila to La Union. Here you’ll find some of the most affordable surf schools in Asia, and surf breaks ideal for beginner to intermediate surfers. It’s also got a vibrant beach scene – with hip cafes, bars and hotels catering for everyone from luxury travellers to backpackers.\nWhile Keramas on Bali’s east coast hosts the world’s best surfers on the World Surf League each year, the wave is mostly ideal for intermediate surfers (except when huge swells hit the coast). Waves break across dead coral so you won’t get as cut as at other breaks across the Indonesian Archipelago; and the resort here, Hotel Komune Bali is one of the best family surf resorts on Earth. You’ll walk through organic gardens to get to the surf, and massages are available afterwards. But there’s far more options nearby for intermediates, this lesser known side of Bali still has plenty of secret surf breaks (on black sand beaches) that are less intimidating than most other breaks in Bali.\nThere’s no more consistent — and powerful — waves in all of Asia than here. Check out the photo of your favourite pro surfer in any surfing magazine and chances are it was taken in the Mentawais. Located off the southwest coast of Sumatra, most surfers who come here travel on liveaboard boats between over 50 of the best breaks on Earth (there’s no more higher rated waves in one region anywhere else on the planet). There are waves all year round but the best time to visit is between March and November, when the average wave size is two metres. There are also land surf camps that’ll whip you into shape, like Kandui Villas.\nCloud Nine is the Philippines’ most famous surf break — but it still’s a mystery to many of the world’s surfers. Found on the island of Siargo in the country’s far southeast, you can’t fly here direct from Manila, effectively keeping the destination off-the-map. Take note though, the reef is shallow and sharp, and the best swells hit between August and November. Surf guides are relatively inexpensive, and it’s worth hiring one to show you the island’s other secret surf spots, as Cloud Nine can get crowded.\nThis stretch of coastline on Bali’s southwest corner is where big wave-riding first started in Asia. Australian and American surf pioneers came here in the early ‘70s and discovered bay after bay of perfect tubing surf breaks. These are still some of the best breaks on Earth, with Uluwatu itself the premier ride. Beware; waves can reach upwards of four metres, and the reef can be very shallow — surfers have died here. There are waves all across this strip of coastline so you can choose how brave you feel (some breaks are less challenging than others). It’s one of the genuine surf hot-spots on the planet — there’re surf bars and surf resorts all along the coast, including some of Bali’s best luxury resorts, such as Bvlgari Resort Bali.\nPack your antiseptic because when the waves are on at Desert Point, no wave claims more skin on Earth. Located on Lombok’s remote south-west coastline, it was discovered by wave-crazy, Australian surf explorers 30 years ago. There’s still not much here and accommodation is simple at best, so don’t expect internet or TV. But when the forecast predicts big waves, you’ll find every famous big-wave surfer on Earth here. It’s notoriously fickle, but there are also waves nearby along Lombok’s south coast, near Kuta.

This is the first in which I hope will be a number of guest posts on this blog.\nI asked my wonderful Facebook contacts if anyone would like to write a short piece about their favourite book, and to my delight, one of the responses was from Annabel Smith. Annabel is the author of two novels, A New Map of the Universe (UWA Press) and Whisky, Charlie, Foxtrot. She has a great blog which you can read here. I recently had the pleasure of meeting her and hearing her talk about her writing process. She is the kind of confident and inspiring writer who, to me, embodies the kind of positive qualities that make the local writing scene so great. I hope she won't mind me listing her as one of my role models.\nSo without much further ado, here is what Annabel had to say on the topic of her favourite book!\n"It is basically impossible for me to choose an all-time favourite book, because different books have resonated with me at different times in my life. Having said that, there seem to be certain books that continue to move me, or delight me, over a period of many years, and as soon as I read Jennifer Egan’s Pulitzer-Prize winner A Visit from the Goon Squad, I was certain it would be one of those books.\nIt is a novel-in-stories, centring around Bennie, one-time punk rocker and life-time music lover, who, in his forties, finds himself lost at the helm of his own record company (the hilariously-titled Sow’s Ear Records). The stories revolve around a cast of characters whose lives intersect with Bennie’s, and drift backwards and forwards in time, keeping the reader guessing about the connections them.\nEgan has a preoccupation with characters’ inner lives which fascinates me: she lays bare their wishes and regrets, their motivations and self-delusions with humour and tenderness. Even as we are embarrassed for them, we relate to them, we feel for them.\nThe novel seems to be, in some ways, a response to and a means of parsing the impact of 9/11. An ode to New York City, it examines notions of fake and real, gender, power, the media and marketing, neurosis, shame, loss and redemption. But its beating heart is the complex relationships we humans have to the process of ageing. From the teenagers who want to grow up too fast to the middle-aged characters who look back with nostalgia on their youths, the ‘goon squad’ of the title refers to the feeling that time has somehow caught up with you.\nA Visit from the Goon Squad is without doubt one of the most perceptive, witty, innovative, poignant novels I have ever read and one I will look forward to-re-reading again and again.

Mark Wood, from childhood days spent charging in from the conifers at the back of his garden, trying to clonk his father, Derek, on the head, through to the present, has only ever wanted to bowl as fast as he possibly can and play Test cricket for England.\nA rebellious left ankle that has led to him going under the knife multiple times might have led others to veer away from one or both of these ambitions, either by dialling down on pace or specialising in short-form cricket in a bid to have a career of sorts. But Wood has always stayed true to his goals. And on a sun-soaked second afternoon in St Lucia this persistence culminated in one of the most popular members of the England team bowling the 90mph-plus speeds one would expect to emanate from the hand of a West Indian, but instead sent five of their batsmen back to the pavilion dazed.

Veterans Make Valuable Employees, So Why Aren’t More Getting Hired?\nOne of the country’s top think-tanks has a memo for American employers: Hiring veterans isn’t charity work, nor is it a decision grounded in patriotic duty. Actually, it’s simply smart business.\nThat’s because American war veterans don’t merely make for good employees. Often, they’re some of the very best. Which makes it difficult to understand why more of the men and women coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan struggle to find employment.\nNow, a new report from the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) offers insight into how business leaders perceive veterans — and makes a compelling case to employers that hiring a veteran is good for the bottom line.

The actor, who debuted with Masaan, has emerged as one of Bollywood’s most talented young actors.\nWith brilliant performances in Meghna Gulzar’s Raazi and Rajkumar Hirani’s Sanju behind him, Vicky is now ready with Anurag Kashyap’s Manmarziyaan.\nEver since the Manmarziyaan trailer released, people haven’t stopped raving about Vicky, who plays a Punjabi character named Vicky Sandhu aka DJ Sandzz — a blue-haired, music-loving, commitment-phobic guy.\nThat’s how I describe 2018.\nEarlier, people had asked me if I was sceptical to do that role in Raazi and then they couldn’t stop praising me!\nIn fact, when we were shooting for Manmarziyaan in Amritsar, I had to attend a cousin’s wedding in Hoshiyarpur, which is two hours away.\nPop culture may have vanished in India, but it’s very much there in Punjab; the youth follow it.\nBefore that, let me tell you about the vibe and basics of DJ Sandzz’s character.\nIf I go out and realise that people aren’t noticing me, I will get my hair coloured and start dancing to loud Punjabi music to get their attention.\nI won’t say I am commitment phobic.\nA lot of people say the definition of love and emotion has changed for today’s generation.\nBut the emotion hasn’t changed because even today when people fall in love, they feel the tickle.\nBut in today’s times, the approach to love has changed.\nI don’t remember how it started, but when we bonded, it was bhayankar (frightening)!\nOn one hand, I had Taapsee, who is like a fire bomb, absolutely unpredictable and we don’t know what she will do next.\nI didn’t have many scenes with Abhishek.\nVery good. I met Abhishek for the first time after he was on board for the film, at Karan Johar’s Christmas party.\nThere is a scene where I hit someone with a vessel. It’s in the trailer also.\nIt started bleeding, but I didn’t know that.\nAlso, from my journey, mom and dad have always told me that ‘You will not understand our happiness’.\nWe recently wrapped up Uri. It is a physically grilling experience — be it action or military training.\nI haven’t done anything so taxing.\nWhenever someone asked me about my dream role, I would say I don’t have a role in mind but I want to do a period film.\nI wanted to be a part of a world that doesn’t exist now.\nI don’t do a lot of calculations; I listen to my gut feeling.\nRajkumar Hirani, Anurag Kashyap, Aanand L Rai… they are so humble despite their achievements.

When I showed my husband the daily planner printable I made last week, he immediately complained that it was too girly. I explained that most of my readers were women who would appreciate something that was feminine. He quickly shot back that most of those women were probably like me and that they would probably try to get their husband to schedule their days better. 🙂 He had a point. OK…even if he didn’t have a point, I’ve been trying to get him to do a better job with scheduling his days and so if creating a free daily planner printable that was “non-girly” would help him, I’d be happy to do just that!\nIf you’re wondering how to make the most out of your printable, I thought I’d share what works for me.\nI have a daily planner in which I write down everything I need to get done on a particular day. Whenever something comes up, I immediately add it to my planner for the appropriate day. Each night, before I go to bed, I go through my planner and look at everything I need to accomplish the next day, then I add it to my free daily planner printable.\nI am a complete and total pen snob. I used to only use Papermate Flair Pens in fun colors like pink, purple, and lime green. Don’t get me wrong…I still love these. They’re perfect for using in a planner or on a printable…but I’ve discovered a new favorite pen and it’s changed my life. Someone told me about Frixion Pens a few months ago and they literally have changed my life. I prefer the retractable ones in bright colors. They write like a dream and erase like a pencil! They are seriously amazing!\nSchedule an empty block or two.\nFiguring out how to schedule your day takes time…and some trial and error. I’ve definitely seen an increase in my productivity since I started scheduling my days, but I’ve also realized I had some unrealistic expectations. Using a daily schedule has allowed me to realize that certain projects take far longer than I expected…and others take far less time than I expected. Last Monday, I assigned a task 2 half hour blocks. I even wondered if I should have given it 3 blocks. It was a task I’d been putting off for over a week. When I actually did the task, it only took 15 minutes. I was shocked!\nI hope you find this printable super helpful! If you have tips for how you use this free daily planner printable, I’d love for you to leave a comment.

“HARVARD ECONOMIST’S STUDY Finds No Racial Bias in Police Shootings,” the headline from Fox News Insider proclaimed. A chorus of conservative media sources peddled similar takes. Even mainstream outlets like The New York Times covered the controversial findings. As the nation reeled from a harrowing month of racially charged police shootings in Baton Rouge, Minneapolis, and Atlanta, an eminent social scientist, Roland Fryer, was challenging allegations that African Americans find themselves disproportionately in the crosshairs of law enforcement.\nFryer found the question of whether law enforcement officers are more violent with minority suspects than their white counterparts irresistible. As a black academic who grew up in challenging circumstances and experienced his share of unpleasant encounters with cops, he had a personal stake in the project. Crunching the numbers appealed to him more than grabbing a picket sign. As he compiled data, he asked searching questions. Was there a quantifiable pattern of racial bias in police violence? If so, how could this data inform public policy?\nAfter spending some time observing cops on the beat in New Jersey and Texas, Fryer and his team collected and coded a staggering number of archived police reports. The data they trawled represented nearly five million entries from New York’s Stop, Question, and Frisk program, and another 1,300 records of police shootings from 10 cities, including Houston and Los Angeles. Fryer focused particular attention on 6,000 incident reports from Houston recording confrontations in which officers were justified in discharging their firearms but did not; these chronicles of restraint threw the split-second deliberations that lead to police shootings into sharp relief.\nUsing this trove of information, the study reached two interlocking conclusions. Police used more coercion with blacks and Latinos than whites, but were equally likely to fire on blacks and whites. The latter finding was a revelation, particularly given the publicity surrounding the deaths of African Americans at the hands of law enforcement officers over the past two years. In Houston, police were 23.8 percent less likely to discharge weapons when the suspect was black. Fryer had expected to uncover unmistakable evidence of bias against minorities in police shootings. What he found instead was “the most surprising discovery of [my] life” — that racial bias seemingly vanishes when police officers pull the trigger.\n[That agenda] is actually costing African-Americans their lives.\nThere is more than one way to frame the study’s findings, of course, and the reporting of Fryer’s research in the media functions as an ideological litmus test. If perceptions about black lives at risk fit nicely with liberal myths about law enforcement, then intuitions about officers being impartial in their use of force fit nicely with conservative myths about law enforcement. Nothing about the unjustified killings of black men in Baton Rouge, Minneapolis, and Atlanta needs to be reconciled with this data; the numbers could never excuse these deaths or exculpate the responsible officers. The insinuation that, in light of these statistics, protestors need to justify their outrage at the shootings of innocent victims is a non sequitur.\nMedia fixation on lethal force is understandable, but this represents a single dimension of the panorama Fryer’s study presents. More dispositive, though less surprising, than his conclusions about police use of lethal force is his evidence that officers are quicker to resort to physical confrontation and to draw weapons when the suspect is nonwhite. Latinx and black subjects were more than 50 percent more likely to encounter violent escalation at the hands of law enforcement. Controlling for factors like resistance, Fryer found African Americans were still 17.3 percent more likely to elicit a show of force from cops. If his numbers are reliable, it is time to retire the canard that blacks have nothing to fear if they heed officer’s directions: police threatened or restrained compliant African Americans 21.1 percent more frequently than they did their white counterparts.\nSuppressing some facets of this research while amplifying others games the results at the expense of seriously grappling with the implications of a pioneering study. Fryer and his team produced the most substantive survey to date on police violence. They painstakingly inventoried the most current available evidence to quantify and analyze a phenomenon that has raised concerns throughout the country. Their unsettling conclusions demand critical attention.\nThe reliability of a study like Fryer’s turns on the quality of its sources. Given that police forces exist to promote public safety, it surprises many that data collection on police shootings — particularly shootings that do not result in fatalities — remains surprisingly inconsistent, incomplete, and uncoordinated. There is no dedicated government entity with a mandate for standardizing this reporting. Nor are there uniform criteria for recording incidents in which law enforcement officers discharge weapons. What evidence can be gleaned is self-reported, produced for local municipalities rather than federal agencies.\nAside from variation, significant questions remain about the objectivity of the reporting. Although police reports furnish important data for research on police violence, they are not always as devoid of bias as their detached tone suggests. When violence escalates, the likelihood of elliptical reportage and coded justifications increases. “What’s there is crappy data,” David Klinger, a criminal justice scholar at the University of Missouri, lamented. So unreliable were statistics in the protean category of “legitimate homicides” that the Department of Justice stopped reporting them in 2009. Fryer imposes some regressive controls on these variables, but his findings still rely on the premise that police reports are fundamentally reliable and relatively exhaustive. He has maintained that the outcomes remain the same irrespective of whether one finds the police framing persuasive or obfuscatory. That said, much still depends on the accuracy of records provided by law enforcement. Omissions and selective detail can skew the data, raising concerns about its reliability. In this respect, Fryer’s study is hardly singular. He has to reckon with the same evidentiary vulnerabilities as all such studies based on self-reported data.\nSome of the most pivotal evidence for this study comes from the incident reports from Houston. This reporting of confrontations in which officers are authorized to use deadly force but refrain from doing so provide an important statistical context for police shootings. By comparing decisions to open fire with decisions to hold fire, the researcher can more readily identify racial bias. Consider what happens when one removes this information from the calculations. One could only count the bodies and compare them to the number of incidents, using different filters to accommodate the variables. It would be impossible to know if officers fired in every situation where a threat warranted shooting or if they seldom resorted to force even in the most dangerous circumstances. Houston’s incident reports thus supply critical data, revealing a police force’s propensity to shoot in situations of danger and uncovering hidden patterns in those decisions.\nFryer’s close reading of Houston’s data provides valuable granular information but limits its global application. To generalize from his findings, one must assume that the rest of the United States looks a lot like Houston. That is a dubious assumption, to put it mildly. Police departments vary as significantly as the cities they exist to protect. A police force may, like Houston’s, mirror the community they serve demographically; alternatively, it may look as different from its citizens as Ferguson’s did at the time of the Michael Brown shooting. Training may emphasize preemptive fire or restraint in cases of open conflict. The department may follow the protocols of “Broken Windows Theory,” cracking down on even minor infractions, or may focus only on more serious crimes. Most relevantly, few departments collect and report data as methodically as Houston does. Taking Houston as a statistically representative sample, then, is risky business, a selection bias Fryer himself concedes.\nIndeed, when anthropologist Cody Ross researched police shootings using a crowd-sourced database at Deadspin, he found significant regional disparities in racial bias. Departments in conurbations like Los Angeles, New Orleans, and Miami-Dade shot disproportionate numbers of black and Latinx suspects. Ross arrived at a strikingly different conclusion from Fryer: victims of police shootings were three times more likely to be black and unarmed than white and unarmed.\nThese apparently incongruous findings can be reconciled by considering the different ways the researchers go about measuring the role of race in police shootings. Ross measures racial bias differently than Fryer does because he is asking a different question. As Rosa Li summarizes his approach in Slate: “For people shot by the police, what is the relative likelihood that they are black versus white and armed versus unarmed?” Unlike Ross, Fryer has little interest in calculating rates of shooting by race. On that count, there can be no debate. In an astringent critique, Justin Feldman points out that, even in Houston, Latinx and black residents are two and five times more likely, respectively, to be shot by police than their white counterparts. But Fryer is after different quarry. He purports to identify “racial bias” by investigating whether these shootings exceed the limits of statistical discrimination based on race.\nThe term “statistical discrimination” requires explanation. Suppose that, in a given municipality, Latinx drivers are 20 percent more likely to drive without a license. To an economist, that means police officers have rational justification to pull over 20 percent more Latinx motorists than whites to demand identification. Anything eclipsing that benchmark invites charges of racial profiling. Using this metric, Fryer seeks to identify racial bias by determining whether police shootings of black and Latinx citizens occur at rates that transgress the bounds of statistical discrimination.\nEmployed properly, statistical discrimination can become a powerful tool for detecting unfair racial profiling. Perhaps the most prominent recent case involved a legal challenge to New York City’s “Stop, Question, and Frisk” program. A study co-authored by Andrew Gelman, Jeffrey Fagan, and Alex Kiss revealed that, using arrest rates by race from the previous years as the criterion for statistical discrimination, blacks were stopped 23 percent more and Latinx 39 percent more than was warranted. Their findings furnished evidence for a trial that ended this regime of stopping and frisking residents of minority communities.\nYet deploying the concept of statistical discrimination in this way remains controversial because it fails to account for systemic racism. Fryer concerns himself only with what happens once police have confronted a suspect. But numerous studies have documented how racial discrimination colors individual officers’ decisions to accost individuals in the first place. The more police target minorities for routine questioning, the higher the total number of minorities charged — even if the rates of arrest for these minorities are actually lower. Arrests from these stops can create their own momentum, propelling confirmation bias by raising the threshold for statistical discrimination. For this reason, critics such as Feldman have criticized the Harvard study’s methodology as inappropriate to the phenomenon under investigation.\nMore confrontations for lesser offenses also have the effect of lowering the perceived threshold for threat in the aggregate. Uri Simonsohn illustrates this principle with the video of a police officer subduing an African-American teenager at a pool in suburban Dallas that went viral a year ago. The officer’s aggression reflected an overestimation of threat: unarmed teenagers in bikinis pose little danger to public safety. On average, the threshold for perceived threat minorities pose diminishes. Such disproportionate responses lead to coercion and arrests of less dangerous people. But they also entail that, unless the researcher effectively controls for threat, more arrests for lesser offenses means fewer shootings as outcomes. The pool has become diluted — “with criminals and girls in bikinis” grouped together, as Simonsohn puts it. Perversely, then, the presence of bias creates the impression of a lack of bias in lethal confrontations. This diluting effect tallies with the results of Fryer’s research, and helps to explain the “surprising” findings of more violent encounters and fewer police shootings of racial and ethnic minorities.\nSo what difference does this study make for Latinx and black lives? Narrowing the focus to what happens once an officer stops a minority, as the Harvard study does, can obscure the larger context. This is true even if one accepts the validity of its findings. An analogy might help. Suppose a physician conducting a routine screening informed you that if you contracted the particular strain of cancer he was looking for, your treatment would involve more invasive therapies and destructive side effects, but that your chances of survival were similar to others in this condition. That might appear good news. But what if the physician then reminded you that you were 23 percent or 39 percent (to use the figures from the New York study) more likely to be diagnosed with this cancer than others? That would make you feel considerably more vulnerable.\nStatistics are the currency of science, the regnant standard for human knowledge. Claim that lives are at stake, and this is an opinion; lard this assertion with numerical evidence, and your argument carries the signature of objectivity. Yet numbers, like words, require context for their meaning. Statistics are based on perspective, selection, and other limitations that demand careful interpretation. Different communities translate this data into narrative accounts and normative commitments, and power relations stamp the creation of policy from data. In many ways, as philosopher James Blachowicz points out, this “scientific” method of dealing with information looks more like poetry than positivism: we conscript the data to fit our task, not to discover immutable laws of nature or engineer human behavior. The reportage surrounding Fryer’s working paper exposes the plasticity of statistical texts in the hands of various interpretive communities — from activists taking these numbers as evidence of police brutality to their critics marshaling it as evidence of activist overreach. We need to handle these deployments of statistics with more critical awareness and sensitivity to context.\nFryer’s study makes an important contribution to the problems of police use of force against minorities, but it raises as many questions as it answers. New findings may complement or complicate his conclusions. In the meantime, partisans on the left and right will continue to enlist his research to support their own agendas, using statistics to lacquer their arguments with the veneer of respectability. These numbers have much to tell us, and they should be instrumental in formulating policy. But we should also be cautious in mistaking them for our only access to the real, should we lose sight of the personal experience behind the statistics. The visceral response that arises when we see faint specters of officers firing on innocent black and brown bodies on video, and the dread minorities feel when they see blue and red lights in their rearview mirrors, are present in a way that an actuarial calculus can never capture. Black and Latinx residents inhabit a world in which racial profiling and police harassment are palpable realities, not mere statistical abstractions. If black lives matter, they must matter more than numbers on a ledger sheet, or in a research abstract. As we deliberate strategies of policy and protest, we must value their voices, their rhetoric, and their experiences as part of a thick description that includes our best data.\nRyan T.

L'ébénisterie Créole - Traditional Woodworking with Jean Becnel: Cajuns - French, Germans or Something Else?\nCajuns - French, Germans or Something Else?\nI'm often asked - "What does the German Coast have to do with South Louisiana?" The German Coast is, in fact, part of South Louisiana and it's of enormous importance to Louisiana's History.\nLocated along the Mississippi River over the Parishes of St. Charles, St. John the Baptist and possibly a bit of St. James the German Coast is the earliest successful European Agricultural Settlement in Louisiana. Though brought over by the Parisian French West Indies Co, German's arrived in mass to settle here 30 years before the Acadians, or Cajuns as they are often called.\nSo why is Louisiana known for the Cajun French instead of the Cajun Germans? Though the German settlers, brought here by the European French predate the French Acadians there were far less of them. The Germans were mainly only German in Culture as they hailed from areas such as the Alsace Lorraine Region ruled by France. It's an unfortunate oversight by us for not teaching this history.\nThe reason I focus so heavily on the German Coast in regards to subjects of Timber Framing or Early Agriculture is because they were the first to really tackle the task is South Louisiana - at least to the scale at which they did. I try to start stories on the first chapter and while this is by no means Chapter One for those cultures or for the America's it is just that for South Louisiana.\nThere is a lot of information out there on Early Louisiana and I by no means consider myself an authority on cultural history. I have intentionally withheld from delving too deeply into the history or time lines of the Louisiana people as there are dozens of books on the subject by credible and respected authors - yet they all differ in story from one to the next. I encourage you to do further reading on the topic on your own and form your own impression based upon the information out there.\nAlso for additional information on the early days of settling on both the German and Acadian Coasts, please visit these fine sites below.

Purchasing bonds, also known as becoming a creditor to a company, can be done through accessing a full service broker or a discount broker. If you are looking to purchase government bonds, this can be easily done online. The following sections explain where to purchase bonds and stocks, and what they are.\nStocks can be purchased from a full service broker. Other services offered include advice regarding taxes and retirement funds. Purchasing a stock means that you are buying a portion of the right to the ownership of the particular company which you are investing in.\nA full service broker provides an array of useful financial services, such as stock and bond investment plans, as well as access research customized to your needs. In comparison to other options for purchasing stocks, this is a pricier option. If funds are less of a concern, a full service broker is a good idea because they will sit down with you to discuss all the aspects of investing in stocks that may be of concern. A full service broker would be qualified to explain what is best for you and for your specific financial situation. Buying stocks is more volatile than purchasing bonds, which guarantee a minimum return at least equal to your investment. Talking to a full service broker may be the right option if you want to seriously assess the risk involved in your investment plan.\nThe services of a discount broker make investing through stocks and bonds accessible and easy.\nAny type of broker can allow an individual to open an account and become a shareholder in a company, through either a ‘dividend reinvestment plan’, or a ‘direct investment plan’. These DRIPs and DIPs are essentially cheap stock investment plans which allow you to regularly invest in the ownership of a specific company. This type of financial transaction is called an equity investment. Purchasing stocks has tended to yield larger returns than purchasing bonds, despite the higher risk involved. Along with this kind of investment comes the entitlement to a fraction of company earnings, which extends legally to assets. However, there is no guarantee that the company will avoid bankruptcy, nor is it guaranteed that you will not end up losing all of your invested funds.\nBuying a government bond essentially means that you are becoming a creditor to the government. You will be reimbursed the interest made off your investment, for the duration of the bond, as well as the invested sum, at the end. One type of bond, the ‘treasury bond’, takes thirty years to reach maturity; however there are other options which only take days.\nIn the US, government bonds, or securities, can be purchased online. The Bureau of the Public Debt operates a website to this end. For further information, please visit Treasury Direct.\nBuying government bonds online is highly advantageous because you do not have to wait for the services of a broker. If you already have an investment plan with your bank or full service broker, you may be able to purchase government bonds through them, as well.

Revenue recognition transition adoption Options- Full or modified retrospective?\nThe deadline for adoption of the new revenue recognition standards under ASC606 is fast approaching.\nPublic companies need to adopt for fiscal years beginning in 2018 while private companies have until 2019.\nThe changes in how to account for software and services can be significant, often requiring the break out of underlying performance elements that were bundled together under current reporting standards.\nThe guidance lays out two alternatives for disclosing the revenue recognition transition , both of which require dual accounting to support the disclosure requirements.\nUnder the full retrospective approach, the full prior two years of financials are restated to the new standards to provide an apples to apples comparison between the years under the new standards.\nUnder the full retrospective approach, the sooner that a multi-book solution can be implemented, the better.\nA multi-book approach accounts for new contracts under both standards.\nIn a perfect world, implementing this type of dual accounting at the beginning of the retrospective period would be ideal, but most companies will need to perform recast calculations on some period of contracts.\nThe full retrospective also requires two points to calculate a cumulative adjustment.\nFirst, a cumulative adjustment will need to be performed at the beginning of the retrospective period and then again at the date of adoption to adjust the company’s primary books to the new standards as per below diagram.\nThe modified retrospective is a bit simpler in that it only requires one cumulative adjustment of open contracts as of the date of adoption and only requires the cumulative impact calculation of open contracts vs the period by period recast required to support a full retrospective.\nFirst, the establishment of a legacy GAAP standard book will provide the accounting for the comparative disclosure during the year of adoption.\nSecondly, the establishment of an ASC606 book reflecting the new standards. This book will assist with calculating the cumulative adjustment as well as providing visibility to accounting differences between the old and new standards leading up to the year of adoption.\nLet’s take a quick look for highpoints and low points for each approach, and offer a few reasons why a company might choose one over the other.\nTherefore , regardless of the which method is choosen to disclose revenue recognition transition, there will be a significant effort which need to assess properly .These options include considerations for historical data restating requirements and overall data volume requirements. Discuss and engage your Implemenation partner to plan for this transition and deploy technologies to support these new requirements.\nQuestion : Is there an approach to transition to the new accounting standard?\nEntities are permitted to apply the new revenue standard either retrospectively subject to some practical expedients (that is, to restate prior periods for a consistent basis of accounting and presentation) or through an alternative transition method [full retrospective ].\nThe alternative transition method requires an entity to apply the proposed guidance only to contracts not completed at the date of initial application. Then, recognize the cumulative effect of adoption as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of initial application. Under this approach, the financial statements before and after implementation will not be comparable.\nMoreover , Retrospective transition requires applying the new guidance to all prior periods (subject to certain practical expedients).\nThe underlying principle of the new standard is that an entity will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services.\nFinally, the business can recognize revenue when they meet the performance obligations.\nIf that fulfillment happens at a distinct point in time, revenue can be recognized right then.\nIf the obligation is satisfied over time—for example, a technical support contract—the business needs to decide how to measure the progress and completion of that obligation.\nThe customer concurrently receives and consumes the benefits provided by the entity’s performance as the entity performs.\nThe entity’s performance creates or enhances a customer-controlled asset.\nThe entity’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and the entity has a right to payment for performance completed to date.\nRegarding the last bullet, a right to payment exists if an entity is entitled to payment for performance completed to date if the customer terminates the contract for reasons other than the entity’s nonperformance.\nPerformance Obligations Satisfied at a Point in Time – An entity will recognize revenue at a point in time (when control transfers) for performance obligations that do not meet the criteria for recognition of revenue over time.\nThe entity has a present right to payment for the asset.\nThe entity transferred legal title to the asset.\nThe entity transferred physical possession of the asset.\nThe entity transferred the significant risk and rewards of ownership to the customer.\nThe customer accepted the asset.\nOutput Methods – Units produced or delivered, contract milestones, or surveys of work performed.\nInput Methods – Costs incurred, labor hours expended, time lapsed, or machine hours used.\nStep 4 allocates the transaction price to the distinct POBs in a contract. An entity typically allocates the transaction price to each POB based on the relative standalone selling prices of each distinct good or service promised in the contract.\nIf a contract has more than one performance obligation, the business needs to provide an accurate estimation as to that obligation’s standalone selling price versus the total agreed upon amount.\nASC 606 allows for includes three methods of figuring this amount—adjustment market assessment, expected cost plus margin, and residual.\nThe next step is to determine the transaction price, the amount of consideration that the seller expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring the control of goods or services promised in the contract.\nThe transaction price is the amount of consideration that an entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for transferring promised goods or services to a customer, excluding amounts collected on behalf of a third party (i.e. sales taxes).\nThe transaction price is the amount the business expects to receive in return for transferring the goods or services outlined in Step 1. The amount can be fixed, variable, or a combination, but is allocated specifically to the performance obligations outlined in Step 2.\nTherefore , once these performance obligations are fulfilled, the business can recognize this as revenue.\nWhen a certain amount of cash is transferred to the business simultaneously with the promised goods or services, this is quite easy. But, more complex payment arrangements require additional thought.\nThe transaction price may be variable or contingent upon future events, including discounts, refunds, rebates, credits, incentives, performance bonuses, etc.\nExpected Value – Sum of the probability weighted amounts for various possible outcomes.\nMost Likely Amount – The most likely amount in a range of possible amounts.\nA performance obligation is the basically promise to transfer goods or services to a customer.\nIn this step, the business needs to identify all the distinct performance obligations in an arrangement.\ncan be transferred independent of other performance obligations.\nAny goods or services that can't be deemed distinct should be bundled together until they can be.\nPerformance obligations can also cover an obligations the customer might expect because of their history, which can make this step more complex.\nRevenue is one of the most important key performance indicators (KPIs) used by investors when assessing a company’s performance and prospects.\nguidelines set by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to communicate their financials effectively to investors. Based on the operations in different countries, businesses sometimes need to comply with more than one set of standards.\nMost of the companies located in North America or Europe comply with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Recently, the standards-setters developed new revenue-related standards (IFRS 15 and Accounting Standards Codification [ASC] 606), which ensure clarity and transparency in reporting revenue. These new guidelines require a substantial change in the way currently revenue is being reported compared to the new revenue recognition standards.\nASC 606 dictates that a business can account for a contract when all these criteria are met.\nThe parties have approved the contract and intend to perform their respective obligations.\nEach party's rights regarding the goods or services to be transferred can be identified.\nThe payment terms can be identified.\nThe risk, timing, or amount of the entity's future cash flows are expected to change (contract has commercial substance).\nRegarding the collectability criteria, the entity will assess at the inception of the contract whether it is probable it will collect the transaction price.\nCredit losses arising from a contract that was probable of collection at inception will be recognized as an expense in the income statement.

An advent to Surface-Micromachining connects the producing method, microscale phenomena, and layout facts to actual shape and serve as.\nThis e-book could be of curiosity to mechanical engineers seeking to scale back into micromachining and microelectronics designers trying to circulation horizontally to micromachining.\nLeopold is extremely joyful to post this vintage e-book as a part of our wide vintage Library assortment. some of the books in our assortment were out of print for many years, and as a result haven't been obtainable to most people. the purpose of our publishing software is to facilitate speedy entry to this substantial reservoir of literature, and our view is this is an important literary paintings, which merits to be introduced again into print after many a long time.\nContent material: bankruptcy 1 creation (pages 1–21): bankruptcy 2 Nature and houses of Electromagnetic Waves (pages 23–50): bankruptcy three sturdy Surfaces Sensing within the noticeable and close to Infrared (pages 51–123): bankruptcy four strong? floor Sensing: Thermal Infrared (pages 125–163): bankruptcy five reliable? floor Sensing: Microwave Emission (pages 165–199): bankruptcy 6 good?\nThe ancient returns of small-cap shares have handed these of mid-cap and large-cap shares over very long time classes. the extra go back skilled through small-cap traders has happened regardless of inherent dangers within the asset category. the surplus go back to be had from small-cap shares may help huge foundations, endowments, and different comparable institutional traders conquer the drag of inflation and the drain of annual spending.\nSolid bridging is another important consequence of drying. As a drop let dries, any dissolved impurities are concentrated as the drop let shrinks. Finally, the impurities can result in asolid residue . This solid residue can then form asolid compound bridging two otherwise separate bodies. 4 Friction In macroscale devices, the force of friction between two surfaces is relatively easy to compute. 24, Ff is the force of friction, Ms is the coefficient of static friction, and FN is the normal force.\nVapour-phase etching thus also avoids capillary condensation. A vapour-phase etching process for silicon dioxide was presented by Lee et al . 9 Wire Bonding In both microelectronics and surface-micromachining, the systems are embedded within or on top of a chip. Typically, the chip is encased in a ceramic or plastic package for protection. With or without the package, electrical connections to the outside world need to be established. Wire bonding is a process used to make electrical connections between the chip and the package using conducting wires.\nFurther, the wafers are heated to between 300°Cand 400°C . Each wafer is connected to an electrode and a large DC voltage (between 200 V and 1000 V) is applied. This creates a large electric field in the region between the wafers. In this process, one of the wafers is glass that contains sodium atoms. The high temperature increases the mobility of these atoms, allowing them to migrate in the electric field. Moving the sodium atoms away from the bonding surface makes the bonding surface chemically reactive.

Tronox is relocating from Australia to the United Kingdom (UK). Source: Clker-Free-Vector-Images / Pixabay.\nTronox will formally initiate the process to re-domicile to the United Kingdom (U.K.) from Australia with the intent to hold a meeting of shareholders to approve the re-domiciling in the first quarter of 2019. Re-domiciling will be effected by "top-hatting” Tronox Limited with a new holding company incorporated under the laws of England called Tronox Holdings PLC. Tronox has submitted a Proxy Statement to the Australian Securities and Investment Commission (ASIC) and will be filing the proxy statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) in the coming weeks. Once the ASIC and SEC have completed their reviews of the Proxy Statement, Tronox will, in accordance with Australian law, seek permission from an Australian Court to hold a shareholder meeting to seek the approval to proceed with the re-domiciling. Each Tronox shareholder will receive one share in the newly incorporated English company in exchange for each share held in the Australian-incorporated Tronox Limited, which will be listed on the NYSE.\nTronox and its largest shareholder, Exxaro Resources Limited (Exxaro), have entered into the Exxaro Mineral Sands Transaction Completion Agreement (the "Completion Agreement”), which addresses several legacy issues related to Tronox’s 2012 acquisition of Exxaro’s mineral sands business and its ongoing relationship with Exxaro. The Completion Agreement allows Exxaro and Tronox to conclude matters from the 2012 transaction in a manner which benefits both companies. Exxaro, which has previously stated its intent to sell its remaining 24 percent equity interest in Tronox, has agreed to structure any potential divestiture of such interest in a controlled and scheduled manner. Exxaro has also granted Tronox the option, but not the obligation, to directly repurchase any shares Exxaro elects to sell.

I have been successfully using a S6R receiver for some months after setting it up using the FrSky Configuring tools available for download from their website along with the STK Hardware Tool. The PC config tool is quite straight forward once you get past the foibles of Windows and USB connectivity.\nI had a 2nd S6R which had been sitting on the shelf for a while and decided it was time to put it in a model. Before doing so I updated it with the latest firmware. I thought that seeing I had a ready-made control set complete with switch settings for my previous model it would be quicker to duplicate that and use it as a starting point. WRONG!\nFrSky have incorporated a beginners "Quick Setup" mode as a default in their firmware but not deemed it necessary to tell anyone downloading the FW. Quick Mode offers a single 3 pos switch setup for the stabilised features except Hover & Knife Edge. Currently the only way to turn off Quick Mode is by using a LUA script for OpenTX or .bas script for ersky9x using your transmitter.\nThe change has caused considerable confusion for a lot of people. There is now a reference to this default mode in the S6R/S8R instruction sheet for download - but very easy to miss if unaware of the change.\nIf you are having problems search S6R on RCGroups or openrcforums for help. A new .bas script for Taranis running ersky9x is available from the ersky9x download page and works well on a QX7 running that firmware. A LUA script is available from OpenTX site and is included in firmware updates. For my QX7 I have put the .Bas script in the Scripts_Telemetry directory on the SD Card where it works fine.\nOne trap for newbies with S6R and S8R is that you must set up the maximum end-points for AIL (including CH5 if using independent servos), ELE, & RUD on your TX before running the self-level setup on the RX. If you have minimum settings on your TX during setup you will not be able to increase those movements later as the RX learns the settings in order not to exceed the throws and damage the servos during stabilising compensation. If you set up with say 60% for AIL and ELE and you later decide that the model could do with more control you will find that all you get is dead-band between 60% - 100%.\nI spent many hours trying to work out the dead-band puzzle for my original model fitted with S6R.\nSetup RX with maximum throws your hardware/servos will permit and then carry out self-level setup. Once that is done you should never have to do that again as small incremental angle adjustments can be performed using either scripts from TX or on computer using config. tool. Then you can set up your mixes and limits for the model.\nI have noticed over time that the maximum throw settings referred to above can be lost between model usage. Sometimes it effects all control settings and sometimes just one channel such as elevator or aileron. During a preflight tests I have found that with a week or two between flights the ailerons unexpectedly have full throw in one direction and nothing the other way. The only way to restore it is to perform the self-test once again taking care to ensure that TX dual rates is set to maximum throws while performing the self-test.

Real Madrid 3, VfL Wolfsburg 0 (Agg: 3-2): Zidane revels in best night of managerial career as Ronaldo treble stokes Champions League comeback | City A.M.\nReal Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane shrugged off speculation about his job security and instead chose to revel in his side’s stunning second-leg comeback after a Cristiano Ronaldo treble broke the resistance of Wolfsburg.\nFormer Manchester United forward Ronaldo wiped out the German outfit’s advantage with two strikes in the space of 86 first-half seconds before taking his Champions League tally to 93 goals in 125 appearances with a late clincher.\nVictory eased Real’s passage to the semi-finals of the Champions League for a sixth successive season and revived a campaign which was in danger of flagging following last week’s first-leg defeat to mid-table Bundesliga side Wolfsburg.\n“I have a fantastic team. I like what I do and I’m very happy with it,” said Zidane. “I’m very happy with what I’m doing and I’m not worried about what might happen in the future.\n“This comeback is something incredible. It’s my best night as a manager. We entered the game with a lot of intensity, showing that we wanted to be in the semi-finals.\nThe irrepressible Ronaldo swept home from six yards to give Real the all-important breakthrough on 15 minutes, while moments later the 31-year-old glanced a header past Wolfsburg goalkeeper Diego Benaglio to level the aggregate scores.\nPortuguese Ronaldo completed his hat-trick with a 77th-minute free-kick -- his 34th goal in 36 Champions League knockout matches since moving to Real in 2009.

2And Abram [was] very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai; 4Unto the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the LORD. 5And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.\n8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we [be] brethren. 9[Is] not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if [thou wilt take] the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if [thou depart] to the right hand, then I will go to the left.\n10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it [was] well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, [even] as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar. 11Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12Abram dwelled in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched [his] tent toward Sodom. 13But the men of Sodom [were] wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly.\n14And the LORD said unto Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now thine eyes, and look from the place where thou art northward, and southward, and eastward, and westward: 15For all the land which thou seest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed for ever. 16And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, [then] shall thy seed also be numbered. 17Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for I will give it unto thee. 18Then Abram removed [his] tent, and came and dwelt in the plain of Mamre, which [is] in Hebron, and built there an altar unto the LORD.

Teardrops n Tiny Travel Trailers • View topic - Plywood plies?\nI was loading up some scraps of plywood last night and it brought on this question. What type of 3/4" plywood should I ask for that will have the most number of plies?\nI'm looking for 4x8 sheets so baltic is out. Last night I counted 11 plies on one piece os scrap, 7 plies on another and it seems like the ACX that I used on the floor of my utility trailer only had 4 or 5 plies. I also need it to be exterior grade for my new side walls. Any help?\nThanks for the reply madjack. What does it run, price wise, per sheet? Sounds like I might have to make some calls and try to round some of this up.\nI called one lumber wholsaler and they quoted me $70.00 per sheet for 3/4" birch 4'x8'. OUCH!\nStill shopping. I'll call more places tommorow.\nI think the only thing you are going to find in exerior around here is Fir. That is not bad, but it is heavy. I assume that you are making the sides all in one piece.\nThe difference between "regular" and "exteior" plywood is the glue, for the most part.\nThey are out of Portland, but have a warehouse in Boise and Salt Lake. There should be a cabinet shop buys from them, (they are wholesale only) in your area. They should be able to help.\nThey have the best selection I know of, though Intermountain out of SLC has an equal selection.\nIf you can chisel a bit on the exterior part, there are more options.\nM. Olsen wrote: What type of 3/4" plywood should I ask for that will have the most number of plies?\n'Hardwood Plywood Core Types' for how the various types are made.\n'Hardwood Plywood Grades' for grading characteristics of several types of wood.\nAnd 'Plywood Weights' for a selection of types & sizes.\nWell I went to the big orange box Saturday night and came away thinking about 3/4"certified sanded ply wood. The current flier has it priced at $32.95 but at the store it was priced $29.99. In the flier add it stated the following, "Face veneer is Douglas Fir. Excelent for interior or exterior use." So I presume that the glue used is an exterior grade glue. Might need to get a little better confirmation of this though.\nThis plywood is a 5 ply sheet. I would have liked it to have more plies but.... I'll see what happens in the next day or so. I might have to go get three sheets and then put the board stretcher to two of the sheets until they are 9'long instead of 8'. We'll see.\nWhen you finish with the board strecher, can I borrow it!

Last weekend, Brad Budjos injured his shoulder. During the first period of the PIHL Division 2 All-Star Game, he stayed down on the ice for a minute after a collision.\nWhen he got to the bench, Team Blue coach Rick Kalinowski, who is also Budjos’ coach at Ringgold, told his player he might be done for the afternoon. The junior forward had other ideas, scoring twice to lead Team Blue to a 5-1 victory over Team Gold at the RMU Island Sport Center on Neville Island.\nFellow Rams forward Justin Day, also a junior, skated with Budjos on Team Blue.\nConnellsville senior Greg Hensch got the scoring started, netting an unassisted goal at 5 minutes, 31 seconds of the first period. Team Blue would add three second period goals to take a 4-0 lead.\nBudjos got the first of those at 10:42 off an assist from Carrick’s Gavin McKain on the power play.\n“I went down and tried to go top shelf, I fanned on it a little bit and it just went in,” said Budjos.\nTommy Walls of Neshannock and Burrell’s Dylan Zelonka, the third-leading scorer in Division 2, netted goals just over a minute apart late in the second period to open up the game for Team Blue. Trinity sophomore Garrett Gellner assisted on both markers.\nJunior Terrence Rice from Neshannock put Team Gold on the scoreboard 3:02 into the third period with a power play goal, but Budjos would restore the four-goal lead for Team Blue with a pretty goal in tight at 11:38 of the period.\nBudjos maneuvered in down low on the right goal line and lifted a backhander top shelf for his second tally. The goal was not only skillful, it came against his Ringgold teammate, senior goaltender Evan Cook.\n“Oh yeah, I let him know about it for sure,” Budjos said.\nTwo goals and an All-Star Game win will help take some of the pain away.\nBob Orkwis is a freelance writer.

Are you looking to make some changes in your career? Would you like a safe and supportive space where you can think about your present situation and the areas you’d like to change, prioritize your goals and work through a set of actions to achieve them? Are you ready to challenge and stretch yourself?\nLike professional development planning, coaching is all about getting to where you want to be in your professional life. Again, you’re in control – you decide what you want to focus on. The coach is there as a facilitator to help you to step back and gain new insights and understanding and discover your own solutions. Along the way, you’ll probably find that your energy levels and motivation increases as your confidence gets a boost. Unlike professional development planning, however, coaching usually takes place over a series of sessions.\nHere we’re offering you a series of five one-hour sessions.\nThese will be delivered over the telephone at weekly or fortnightly intervals at a time to suit you. Having identified your goals in the first session, your coach will work with you to break these down into small, manageable actions. Each week, you’ll review the actions you set the last time and explore any issues that came up while completing them and then go on to set new actions. The process is completely confidential.\nYou can also book for one or more one hour sessions on a one-off basis. We will also be piloting a Skype option – please ask if you are interested in this.\nHow to Book: For further information and to book, please contact Anne Caldwell.\n"Coaching is all about helping a person get to where they want to be in their professional or personal life. The writer/ client is in control – they decide what they want to focus on."

But while beanie-wearing freshmen may be the first memory, John says the best memories are of building friendships that continue today, a sense of what community means, the feeling of belonging and the pride of accomplishment that endures throughout a lifetime.\nCurrently serving as Vice President of Marketing & Public Affairs at Lehigh Valley Health Network, John says his BU liberal arts education did indeed provide career flexibility that bolstered his professional success.\nIn the hopes of giving other students a chance to experience that same personal and professional success he has known, John and his wife, Jamie, recently gave a planned gift to establish The John A. Marzano ’74 and Jamie M. Marzano Scholarship. It is awarded to an incoming freshman or currently enrolled student in an Arts & Sciences, Communications or Marketing major.\nWith the scholarship, John hopes to help current and future students come to BU and create their own lasting memories, in much the same way he did as a BU beanie-wearing freshman.

Lost amid the debate is the fact that for the first time a majority of Americans say having a gun in the household makes it a safer place to be, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll. By a wide 51 to 29 percent margin, more people say a gun in the house makes it safer rather than more dangerous.\nThat’s a near complete reversal from a Gallup poll in 2000, when the public split 35 to 51 percent on whether guns make the home safer or more dangerous.\nPeople with guns in their homes lead the way in touting the safety benefits: 75 percent say they make the house safer, compared with just 30 percent of those with no gun at home who say the same.

Vietnam is a developing country and currently providing huge opportunities for foreign investors who can understand the market. After joining World Trade Organization, Vietnam is following the commitment by gradually opening up the previous restricted industries and sectors. The Vietnam economy is expected to have a boom on new opening up business in 2016 due to the allowance of foreign ownership up to 100% (before was 49% maximum). The objective of this research is to study the internal factors that will affect leverage of the non-financial companies in Vietnam. According to previous studies, the selected variables used to test the relationship with leverage are dividend payout ratio, profitability, size, liquidity, return on equity, growth, working capital, market to book ratio and total tangible asset. The annual data of 116 non-financial companies with 580 observations was collected from 2010-2014. The relationship between leverage of Vietnam companies with mentioned internal factors will be tested by panel regression analysis with fixed effect model. The results showed that there are four factors that have significant relationship with leverage, including: return on equity (positive relationship at 1% significant level), company’s size (positive relationship at 1% significant level), working capital (negative relationship at 1% significant level), and profitability (negative relationship at 10% significant level). Other factors have no significant effect on the leverage of Vietnam companies. This study enables investors to have deeper understanding about capital structure of companies in Vietnam.

In a lot of ways, this novel read just like a memoir. When I think of memoirs, even fictional ones, there’s really only one tone that comes to mind. It’s a fanciful one. One that makes me think of southern belles and longing. Everything’s always so formal.\nImagine my surprise, then, when I dove into this novel and was greeted with a lighthearted, informal tone. It was like a close friend sat next to me and was telling me the story their way. I really liked it.\nFiona is a successful author that’s hit a major roadblock in her life. While she’s trying to get back on track, family and friends manage to throw a wrench into her life that could potentially make or break her.\nFiona’s life was far from normal. The novel does a nice job of showing the struggles and pitfalls of being an author. Characters were placed and made well. They served a purpose along Fiona’s journey and aided in her development. I loved the support they all provided each other. They had their problems, sure, but who doesn’t? At the end of the day, however, they were all adults about their unique situations.\nI really liked this writing style. I would love to see it applied to other genres as well. This is certainly an entertaining read.

In a note to my last post, I observed that Liberty Street Economics, the blog of Federal Reserve Bank of New York, promised a follow-up to its post concerning the advantages of the Fed's interest payments on required reserves. The follow up would address the benefits of paying interest on banks' excess reserves and of thereby establishing a "reserve-abundant regime."\nThat follow-up post has since appeared, under the title "Why Pay Interest on Excess Reserve Balances?" As I'd anticipated, it answers the question it poses by outlining some supposed benefits of having banks sit on immense piles of cash, without so much as hinting at the existence of any countervailing costs. As soon as those costs are considered, the supposed benefits turn out to be largely, if not entirely, fictitious.\nAccording to the post's authors, Laura Lipscomb and Heather Wiggins (Board of Governors) and Antoine Martin (FRBNY), a major advantage of paying interest on excess reserves (IOER) is that, by ensuring that banks possess "a relatively abundant supply of [excess] reserves," it "makes the U.S. payment system more efficient." Besides no longer having to rely "on intraday and overnight credit from the Fed," the authors explain, banks made flush with reserves "are more willing to relinquish reserves early and are therefore engaging in less economizing and hoarding of reserves, making the payment system more efficient."\n"Less economizing and [less] hoarding"? Usually, when we speak of someone "economizing" on X, we mean that he or she makes do with less of X. To do less economizing of X is therefore to require more of X. So how can banks do "less economizing and hoarding of reserves"? They can't. They can either economize less and hoard more, or they can economize more and hoard less.\nNor can there be any doubt which of these alternatives IOER encourages. Before that policy was introduced, U.S. banks seldom held more than $2 billion in excess reserves collectively. Today they hold more than $2 trillion. If that isn't less economizing and more hoarding, I can't imagine what would qualify. Certainly to claim, as Lipscomb, Martin, and Wiggins do, that it marks an improvement in the efficiency of the payments system, seems on the face of it quite a stretch.\nWhen reserves are scarce, banks are more reliant on the reserves they receive from other banks to make their own payments than when reserves are more abundant. So reserve scarcity exposes the payment system to a greater risk that a disruption at one bank could spill over and affect the system as a whole. Also, having a larger share of payments settled early reduces the potential consequences of a late day operational disruption.\nthe amount of intraday credit the Fed needs to extend to banks to cover daylight overdrafts … is much lower when the supply of reserves is high. … A large supply of reserves gives banks a sizable buffer to make payments throughout the day without needing to wait for the receipt of other payments or relying on daylight credit from the Fed or other counterparties.\nIn addition to needing less daylight credit, banks require less overnight credit in the form of discount window loans when reserves are abundant. The relatively abundant reserve environment means that fewer banks are caught short of balances at the end of the day, or at the end of a reserve maintenance period, which can lead to a scramble for funds, a spike in the federal funds rate, and banks occasionally accessing the discount window.\nWhat's wrong with that? The terminology, for starters. In the absence of IOER, although excess reserves are certainly "scarce" in the sense of being valuable, and are therefore unlike salt water to a sailor or sand to a Bedouin, they are not usually "scarce" in the sense of being in short supply. The difference matters because, despite the impression conveyed in the above passages, the "scarcity" of reserves, properly understood, is not a problem with which bankers must cope, like so many farmers coping with a drought. Rather, the degree to which reserves are "scarce" is one normally chosen by the banks themselves. In econ lingo, it is itself the solution to an optimization problem, involving the weighing of private benefits and costs, including the costs of having to rely on occasional intraday and overnight loans.\nFor "prudential" read "excess," and never mind the typos. The point is that the mere fact that banks can avoid having to borrow if they hold more reserves hardly suffices to establish that getting them to do so makes either the banks themselves or the public better off.\nAm I then claiming that, without IOER, the market for bank reserves would be perfectly efficient, with banks holding just the right amount of excess reserves? Not at all. Without IOER, the market for excess reserves might be inefficient for several reasons. It might be so because the Fed doesn't charge banks the right price for daylight overdrafts or overnight loans. And it might be so because the Fed doesn't reward them sufficiently for holding excess reserves.\nSetting aside the problem of routinely mispriced Fed credit, which was once very serious but has since been somewhat rectified, many economists, myself included, have long understood that there's a case for reducing banks' opportunity cost of reserve holding by paying a positive return on reserves. But that hardly means that banks can't be overcompensated for their reserve holdings, or that they can't thereby be encouraged to hold inefficiently large quantities of excess reserves.\nThe well-known arguments for paying interest on bank reserves are in fact arguments for paying a rate of interest reflecting the true opportunity cost of reserve holding. That means a "Friedman rule" rate not much lower but also no higher than market rates on other liquid and risk-free assets.\nFurthermore, because the Friedman rule applies to a hypothetical economy free of nominal rigidities and other frictions, even that rate is likely to be too high in practice. In their recently published study devoted to determining an optimal IOER rate in light of real-world frictions, Matthew Conzoneri, Robert Cumby, and Behzad Diba arrive at an optimal steady state tax on excess reserves of 20 to 40 basis points, implying an optimal IOER rate equal to the Friedman rate minus that optimal tax. Allowing for what the authors' refer to as a "bank lending externality" pushes the optimal IOER rate down even more, and can even make it negative.\nYet almost since IOER was first introduced, in October 2008, the Fed's practice has been to set its IOER rate above, if not substantially above, corresponding market rates, and to thereby encourage banks, not merely to fine-tune their reserve holdings to equate marginal (social) benefits and costs, but to pile-up as many reserves as the Fed sends their way.\nIn short, slice and dice it however you like, there is no way to make sense of Liberty Street Economics' claim that the Fed's interest payments on excess reserves serve to achieve an optimal quantity of bank reserves, or to otherwise make our payments system more efficient.\nBut hold on: can't the Fed produce reserves costlessly? And doesn't that mean that, even if there are more than enough of them, their presence can't possibly be wasteful?\nAs the chart below shows, in the good-old, pre-IOER days, when U.S. commercial banks hardly held any excess reserves, their total loans and leases amounted to about 100 percent of their deposits. Today, in contrast, banks hold excess reserves equal to about 20 percent of their deposits, and loans and leases equal to about 80 percent of their deposits. That change is a truer index of the cost of IOER.\nNone of this would matter if the Fed acted as an efficient savings-investment intermediary, as commercial banks are able to do, at least in principle. But the Fed isn't a commercial bank, and it doesn't employ funds at its disposal the way commercial banks do. It makes loans to other banks, but not to businesses or consumers. And its investments are typically confined to Treasury and some agency securities.\nWhen central banks of less-developed countries impose high reserve requirements on their nations' banks, for the sake of steering more of their citizens' savings onto their own balance sheets, and thence to their governments' coffers, economists call it "financial repression." And they condemn it.\nHow come? Because ever since Adam Smith wrote his eloquent chapter (No. 2 of Book 2) on the subject, they've understood the crucial role bank lending plays in boosting economic productivity and otherwise spurring growth. In recent decades that understanding has been reinforced by a vast crop of writings on the topic, both theoretical and empirical.\nWhen, on the other hand, the Federal Reserve gets banks to accumulate trillions of dollars in excess reserves, and to thereby fund its acquisition of an equivalent amount of government and mortgage-backed securities (where by "vast" I again refer not just to nominal but to real quantities), Federal Reserve economists call it "making the payments system more efficient"!\nCall it what they will, the Fed's policy is also financially repressive. By diverting savings to the government and its agencies and to whatever endeavors they favor, it denies that much funding to other prospective borrowers, many of whom — and small business owners especially — would employ the funds in question more productively.\nAccording to a recent working paper by Brian Chen, Samuel Hanson, and Jeremy Stein, all of Harvard, overall bank lending to small businesses has yet to fully recover the ground it lost in 2008, and has hardly recovered at all at the top 4 banks. The evidence suggests, furthermore, that this sustained decline, which may have played a part in "the weak productivity growth in the decade since the crises," reflects "a systematic and sustained supply-side shift." Although Chen, Hanson, and Stein don't investigate the cause of the shift, and don't mention IOER as a possible culprit, it is certainly a likely suspect. Among other things it's well-known that the biggest banks have also been among the chief accumulators of excess reserves.\nBut surely, you may be thinking, there's a difference between forcing banks to hold more reserves, as some less-enlightened central banks have done, and rewarding them for doing so. There is, but it doesn't make the Fed's policy much less financially repressive. The difference is that, instead of imposing a "reserve tax" on banks and their depositors, the Fed's above-market IOER rate grants them a subsidy proportional to the difference between the actual IOER rate and its optimal counterpart. Although the subsidy serves to somewhat enhance rather than to reduce the attractiveness of bank deposits, that slight gain is more than offset by the diversion of deposited savings to less productive uses.\nultimately falls on taxpayers, who serve as (conscripted) equity holders for any risky government investment. When the budget treats cash flows generated from a market risk premium as revenues but does not recognize an offsetting cost, it is arguably equivalent to levying a hidden tax that confiscates the risk premium to pay for additional spending.\nIn fairness to the authors of the Liberty Street Economics post, they never actually claim to be offering an objective assessment of the the Fed's practice of paying interest on banks' excess reserves. Instead, they propose to review some "potential benefits" of that practice. So perhaps it is unfair of me to suggest that their review is misleading.\nBut I don't think so. First of all, when economists refer to a policy's "benefits," they often mean its net benefits. So when that's not what they mean, they should be clear about it, by at least noting that the policy also has costs that they have chosen not to consider. They should also make it clear that, because they are considering only the benefit side of a full cost-beneft reckoning, their assessment should not be understood as implying that the policy is a good idea. Instead of taking such precautions, Lipscomb, Martin, and Wiggens make it all too easy for readers of their article to assume that the "benefits" it describes do in fact suffice to justify the Fed's IOER policy.\nYet all is not lost, for our authors can easily make up for any misunderstanding their post may have caused. To do so, they need only publish a companion piece, which they could call "Why Not Pay Interest on Excess Reserve Balances?," addressing all the disadvantages of paying interest on banks' excess reserves, and especially of paying it at above-market rates. The piece should of course address the drag on productive investments that comes from stuffing banks with reserves they don't need. But it needn't stop there. It could also point out how above-market IOER undermines monetary control, and how (by severing balance-sheet management from monetary control) it makes it all too easy for the Fed to play the part of a fiscal fairy godmother. Needless to say, the essay should studiously avoid even a whisper concerning any potential benefits to be expected from the policy.\nI should think that a month would be more than enough time for three experts to prepare the essay in question. So let's give them a deadline November 1st. If they come through, we can all celebrate the general gain in understanding to which their two-part assessment is bound to contribute. And if not, we will still have learned something, to wit: that the Fed's own assessments of the merits of its policies are best taken with a grain of salt.\nThis entry was posted in Economic Thought, News, The Fed & Central Banks and tagged Interest on excess reserves, IOER, monetary policy, New York Fed.

Vinisud 2017 revealed a fair that is evolving from being dedicated to the wines of southern France into an event encompassing wines from around the Mediterranean.\nMore exhibitors from Mediterranean countries apart from France added growing weight to this being the fair of Mediterranean wines, reflecting the fact that 28.4% of global wine production comes from this area.\nJust over 900 exhibitors were spread through six halls at the exhibition centre at the Parc Expo in Montpellier at this 13th edition of the event. Of these, 80% were from southern France, with the south west and the Rhone having a particularly strong presence. The remaining 20% included exhibitors from Spain, Italy, Greece, Israel, Turkey, Lebanon, Algeria and Morocco and more loosely Mediterranean-affiliated regions and countries of Bordeaux, Portugal, Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina.\nFree-pour zones showed Provence rosés, Mediterranean sparkling wines, and Languedoc wines by variety and appellation. These were appreciated by visitors looking to understand styles and find interesting wines quickly.\nBuyers came from Asia, America and Europe. Yael Gai of Golan Heights Winery, for the first time at Vinisud, was pleased with the range of buyers from Spain, Portugal, Japan, Ukraine, Sweden, Holland and Estonia, whom she said 'showed great enthusiasm.' She felt that she had made better business contacts here than at Vinexpo. Guillaume Demoulin of Château Trinquevedel in Tavel and Clemence Fabre of Château Fabre-Gasparets in Corbieres both found the quality of visitors high, not just for establishing new contacts but also in meeting existing clients. Fabre said that many of the foreign buyers were looking for something new, whether new cuvées, styles, regions or countries. Fabre observed a 'demand for sophisticated rosé' and that their oaked Rosine had received considerable attention. This interest was also noted by Jerome Legonde, export sales manager of major Provence co-operative Estandon, who said their oaked rosé Legende had been very well received. Both rosés are made for the gastronomic market, reflecting a strong trend towards more complex rosé wines to match with food.\nThe Wine Mosaic project, a non-profit organisation championing vino-diversity by protecting and promoting original grape varieties of the Mediterranean, had a particularly busy stand, with visitors trying many different varieties in its large free-pour area plus a range of tutored tastings proved fascinating. New to me were rosés made with Mollard, Aubun and Calkarasi.\nThe economic observatory on global markets for Mediterranean wines, created for Vinisud by agency Wine Intelligence, found that exports of Mediterranean wines are doing well, growing 6% from 2013 to 2015. With about 45% growth in this period, China has become a major engine for growth. This was borne out by the large number of Chinese and other Asian visitors. The busy Sparkling Zones' free-pour area, running for the second year, reflected the enormous success of this Mediterranean wine category with Prosecco, Cava and the sparkling wines of Limoux.\nA study for Vinisud by agency SoWine on consumer trends amongst Millennials in New York and London revealed the growing popularity of rosé by Millennials. Among these, 44% of New Yorkers and 34% Londoners now regularly drink rosé. Surprisingly, it found that male Millennials drink more rosé than females. To illustrate the potential of the rosé sector, a masterclass showed the diverse styles of Mediterranean rosés, with classic Grenache-based Provence rosé, the use of unusual varieties, darker pinks, sparkling and sweet versions.\nThe research found that Mediterranean wines have an excellent reputation in both cities and their unique selling points should be promoted. 'Selling Mediterranean wine is about selling a way of life' and wine as part of the Mediterranean diet, was one message in the 'Marketing Mediterranean Wines in New York and London' masterclass. Recognising this lifestyle angle to selling wines from the Mediterranean, a new Wine Tourism zone exhibited the potential of tourism in the region.\nA strong Mediterranean style was evident amongst the red wines of southern France - with an exciting array of Grenache-Syrah-Mourvèdre variations dominant, including the launch of the new appellation Pic St Loup with their Syrah based blends. White wines were in the minority, but included exciting examples from a wide range of varieties including Rolle/Vermentino, Viognier, Grenache Gris, Roussanne and Marsanne. A masterclass on the white wines from Roussillon revealed how high the quality of Mediterranean whites can be.\nThe wines of the Mediterranean showed enormous diversity, reflecting the many local varieties, influences from the Mediterranean and the use of high altitude, with both modern winemaking and strong historical traditions. While some of these lesser known wines can be lost in larger international fairs, here they were regarded as jewels in the crown.

When it comes to marketing Thomas Edison got it right.\nThere is a myth that marketing is a rigidly planned and deliberate set of strategies. While this may be the case for some industries, I would argue that it does not apply to technology, especially completely new technology that disrupts the marketplace. The truth is that even the marketing experts struggle to find the right mix.\nThe dirty little secret of marketing new technology is that there is an enormous element of randomness. You try a bunch of ideas, track your results and hope that something works. Then you do lots of what works and continue to try new experiments.\nSince the technology is completely new, what worked for other companies may not work for you. Users don’t know they want what you offer because it has not previously existed. For instance, who thought they wanted a Tablet computer or dozens and dozens of other products and services before they existed?\nThe truth is that to reach your market you will have to try a lot of strategies and continually experiment to see what works. You will have to remain open minded and seize opportunities as they come along. Measure what you can but also accept that some strategies will be hard to quantify and may have intangible benefits.\nIn the spirit of seizing opportunity, I tried a new strategy this week. One of the sources I use to curate content for my twitter feed is Alltop . Alltop is a site that curates the latest stories and headlines in different topic categories. It lists the best sites and blogs that cover a given topic. I tweet a lot about startups and Alltop has a good Startups category.\nI noticed that Alltop encouraged its readers to suggest sites to be included. Since we blog a lot about Startups at MediaVidi I figured why not submit it? Alltop has a fairly strict submission policy and all suggestions are vetted.\nI expected to be turned down but I figured, “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. I filled in the submission form with a “bombs away” mentality and clicked on submit.\nYou will get good at marketing by trying lots of different things. Marketing Genius is 1% Inspiration and 99% Perspiration.

Why Are Things Falling Apart?. Look At Total Debt.\nHere is total credit market debt and velocity of money, year-over-year: the velocity of money is a measure of how fast money changes hands. In a robust economy, for example 1987 – 1999, the velocity of money is high. In recessions, it is low as fiscally prudent people and enterprises hesitate to borrow and spend.

It was another typical Tuesday. I got up I did about 30 minutes of walking before heading off to drop the kids at camp and then head to work. I then got a lot of work do and wouldn't you know it about 4:15pm this afternoon the sky opened up. It rained cats and dogs it so raining so hard and this after a very through soaking yesterday evening. It was so bad in some areas that people had to park on the road outside their subdivisions and then walk to their homes through knee deep puddles/lakes. At least this afternoons storms didn't seem to be so terrible but definitely not fun to go through the threat a second time.\nOn a good note I was able to come home and get in another hour of walking even though it was done inside. I am glad I am sticking with it.

If you’ve been following this blog, or me on social media for a while, you’ll know I have a few favourite things. Podcasts are one, and strength training is another. This year, I discovered a new Podcast called The Empowered Body Podcast, by Adam Willis, strength and conditioning coach and co-founder of Lean Body Performance. At the time, I had just picked up a knee injury from over-training (blog post about all THAT jazz here), and was struggling with what I ‘couldn’t do’, and trying to find that silver lining I love by easing up on cardio and plyometric exercise, focusing on strength, enjoying Podcasts walks and discovering yoga. Podcast walks are one of my absolute favourite past-times – they allow me to explore the outdoors and open my mind to new learning, ideas and people. So when I started tucking into Adam’s Podcast, I was beyond excited to hear interviews with both fitness and health bloggers I admire like Hazel Wallace, Shona Vertue, Alice Liveing, as well as experienced figures in the strength training sphere. The Podcast totally changed my mindset and approach to training. It re-shaped how I see my training week, how I structure my resistance sessions, the emphasis I place on recovery and rest, and most importantly, the WHY to my training. The Why is probably the most important mindset shift I had. What were my training goals? Why was I pursuing certain exercises? Why did I think it was normal to do HIIT circuits 4-5 days per week (hint: it wasn’t). Suffice to say, my training got an overhaul, and I haven’t looked back. In fact, I now love my workout week even more than ever.\nRecently, Adam shared a post on Instagram about a 2 Week free trial of his Empow (Her) Training Program – so I expressed interest, and joined in a group of fellow listeners in taking on this trial. I decided to write a short reflection on this trial for you guys, because I thought it was a cool experience, I knew it would be a great challenge for me, and also, I’ve never had a training program or coach in the gym since I started lifting weights. So, lots of new elements to training – why not write about it!\nWe took on a 2 week training plan, with 4-5 days of structured sessions, given to us by Adam. These were split into a lower body focused day, an upper body day, a conditioning day and a mixed upper/lower session – with Day 5 as a low intensity cardio day, which was optional depending on your training load and weekly work/life schedule. Two rest days were incorporated. Adam set these up as Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4 and optional Day 5 – suggested as Monday (1), Tuesday (2), Wednesday a rest day, Thursday (3), Friday (4) and optional cardio over the weekend. I loved the split, as it’s my preferred way to train, and I also really enjoy mixed upper/lower strength sessions too. Most importantly for me really, was being strict on rest days. I’ve been totally opened about my struggles as a bit of a Duracell bunny with rest days in the past, which resulted in two injuries (one last year after a my fastest 10km ever, and my knee this year after enjoying plyometrics a bit too much) that I’m now the other side of with the beauty of hindsight. So I was 100% determined to stick to the two rest days in the trial – for me, these were Wednesday and Sunday. Adam even pointed out to me that yoga on rest days does count as activity, so to bear that in mind in my weekly training load.\nOverall – I loved the program structure. It was similar to my workout style before starting the trial in that the focus was strength training, and yet there were lots of differences and new things to challenge my body – exercises, sets, form, tempo, structured mobility warm-up, a conditioning day, and a mixed upper/lower session too. I’m not a personal trainer, so when I schedule my own workouts, there’s a huge amount of self-education in there, especially to progress. Having that designed for me to trust and follow was brilliant. And it also made me feel brave enough to take on the challenge of new exercises I wouldn’t usually do – like bike or row intervals as finishers, or working on my bench press.\nWe became members of the Empow (Her) community via a Facebook group, which was epic as we could share our experiences each day, and ask questions we had about the various sets/reps/structure of each day. What was particularly fantastic about the Facebook group was that Adam answered most potential questions for us beforehand, sharing the program structure in advance, and posting a ‘How To’ video prior to each workout for us. This was really helpful, as some of the exercises were more familiar to me than others. For example, our Conditioning Day 2 included a barbell or dumbell complex, something I’ve seen posted on Instagram before but had never tried, so a bit of pre-session education was ideal. It was awesome as well to connect with new people with similar goals but different lifestyles, and see how they fit the program into their day to day routine and responsibilities.\nOverall – Community is a key part of any form of fitness for me, and I think it’s massively important for most, given the potential that that positivity has to improve adherence to and enjoyment from a program. And the information and instruction given to us by Adam and Ailish answered many of our questions before we even thought of them!\nThe importance of training goals and structure. My goals in this program were to try something new of course, but also, to stick to a structured resistance training focused program, designed to challenge my body, improve my strength, mobility and cardiovascular fitness, and adequately allow it to recover and rest in between sessions. Often, I think partly due to social media, many people just pick a random workout they see posted on Instagram, go into the gym and be it resistance or cardio based, work through it without a real focus as to why or what they are trying to achieve. Similarly with some fitness classes too, in terms of the training load and frequency people take on. This random training often leads to random results, as Adam has said on his Podcast. I do think social media and class style workouts have a hugely positive impact on getting people motivated to try new things, either at a gym, outdoors or at home, but it’s really important to remember the importance of form, technique, and simple things like a warm up. My mindset has been totally opened up to that this year, and I’m nowhere near perfect with it, but I haven’t looked back!\nRest and recovery is KEY, and should not be skipped. Ever. There are many cheesy quotes to this effect (ever hear ‘Muscles are torn in the gym, fed in the kitchen, and built in bed?’), but behind the cheese there is both science and truth. I’m saying this as a person who has been guilty (big time) of skipping rest, and sometimes I still get it wrong. But I do try to get it right. Over-training is no joke, and many people don’t realise they’re doing just that until an injury appears. With two rest days incorporated into our program (mid-week and weekend for me, like I said), I initially thought ‘Hmm, I’m only really doing one a week right now…’ – and then embraced two. And trust me, after Day 1 and Day 2? I was ready for a rest day, and as a result, smashed out Days 3 and 4. On my rest days, I chose to take my Podcast walks to get some movement, fresh air and learning in.\nCommunity in fitness and wellness in general is something I absolutely love and thrive on. In Ireland, the ‘wellness’ trend continues to grow, albeit slowly. But every event I attend here, whether it’s Wellfest, a Lululemon free yoga class or a mindfulness talk at work, shows me that a positive motivated community created around healthy lifestyle habits such as exercise has such power and potential for long-lasting positive change at the individual level. Having a small online community to connect to with this program spurred me on for sure, and it also allowed me to learn from others as well as from Adam and Ailish.\nAnd that is a wrap people! Thank you again to Adam and Ailish for all their hard work and support of us gals in our Empow (Her) trial. All of the content they provided us with and time given to help us was free and off their own back too – a sign of their passion for quality in this health and fitness sphere! I 100% recommend checking out The Empowered Body Podcast – there is an absolute wealth of episodes and information there for you, and if you’re someone who’s into strength training or just wants to get started, you’ll love it. Any questions, comments or ideas for me from this article just shout – leave a comment here, or find me on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook – @theirishbalance !

Mystic of Holyhead (successor to Lynn Rival) - All aboard that train . . .\nTitle: All aboard that train . . .\nWe took the train south to Marrakesh. By this time we were used to getting by with a mix of our very limited Arabic (which we brushed up a bit in Somalia) and French. The journey was almost 5 hours but the trains are modern and comfortable. Arriving in Marrakesh we were predictably ripped off by our taxi driver who dumped us some way from our hotel ( a riad - converted town house with atrium), which was close to the main square (Jama'a al Fna). We managed to walk the last few hundred yards, ignoring the would-be guides wanting to charge us for the privilege of telling us where it was. Fortunately, the riad was very comfortable.\nWe spent the next day ambling around the medina, soaking up the atmosphere and avoiding buying carpets or other impractical souvenirs. In the evening we ate at one of the food stalls in the square, not sure what part of the sheep's anatomy we were consuming, most likely the cheeks, but it was delicious.\nOne day was enough. The medina is a fascinating maze of streets and alleys, all paved and tidy but very busy with tourists and polluted by scooters. We were ready to head out into the countryside.\nWe had been impressed by the infrastructure in Rabat and Sale: good roads, pavements, electricity and water services, and rubbish collection. Here too we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the roads. And, driving through remote areas we always saw electricity pylons and water mains. The towns are clean and countryside tidy. Yes, they do have a growing problem with windblown plastic bags and bottles but thankfully you don't see wrecked cars, old fridges and abandoned agricultural equipment left to rot. We saw a lot of new housing being built but very little industrial development. We did see the occasional tractor but much of the cultivation is still done with mules and hand tools.\nAit Benhaddou - an 11th century kasbah. The fortified gate in the centre foreground is actually . . .\na set for filming "Jesus of Nazareth"\nAfter the first morning, our driver, Rashid, soon got used to our tastes. We enjoyed the walk up to the top of the rebuilt kasbah at Ait Benhaddou but were not interested in stopping to take photos of the film studios at Ouarzazate. We then spent the night in a hotel close to the Dades gorge, one of the spectacular sights in this part of the mountains.\nOn the second day we made our way east, visiting another gorge and passing through valleys mostly planted with date palms but including one where they grow roses for making rose water, oil and other products. Villages and housing run the length of the valleys, sometimes perched precariously on the hillsides. Rashid was keen to explain that this area is populated by Berber people and they are very proud of their ancient heritage. They are also very enterprising. When we stopped to take photos Rashid would try and park away from the tourist traps but someone would always pop up out of nowhere trying to sell us a souvenir.\nIn between the valleys the terrain is stony scrub or desert. Eventually we reached Rissani, "gateway to the desert" and Rashid's home town. We had a late lunch of what he described as pizza Berba, organised for us by his brother, Mohamed and eaten in a local cafe where families were having the same thing for Sunday lunch. It's a round shallow pie of bread crust with meat, egg, almonds, vegetables, herbs and spices inside - and absolutely delicious. As ever, it was washed down with Moroccan tea (made with green tea and fresh mint) which we've become used to drinking here.\nRashid drove us on to Merzouga, close to the famous Erg Chebbi sand dunes, for a night in a kasbah style hotel, complete with swimming pool. Despite it now being high season, we seemed to be the only ones there. Funnily enough we declined the camel ride into the desert at dawn. We had an excellent evening meal and the best Moroccan breakfast yet, including egg-fried bread, though we're still not sure about the chewy pancakes.\nFrom Merzouga we headed north to Fez, stopping briefly at one of the highlights of our tour: the fossil museum near Erfoud.\nWell, what would you put outside your fossil factory?\nNot only do they have an interesting display of fossils found in central Morocco but also workshops where they laboriously extract the fossils from the rock.\nAs we approached Fez the valleys were increasingly greener and more fertile. It was a long drive, arriving after dark. We'd booked in a riad just inside the old city walls. Fez is renowned for being tricky to navigate in and Rashid had to ask the way many times. Our hotel receptionist came to meet us at a prominent landmark and then guided us for the last mile. After saying goodbye to Rashid we set out to find somewhere for supper (with a map from the receptionist) and managed to find our way there and back. The hotel staff were all a bit surprised we didn't want a guide but we soon got our bearings and during daylight it was much easier. We explored the souqs and some of the sights, liking Fez a lot more than Marrakesh. The steep hills add character and the alleys were not blighted by scooters, you only have to watch out for mules and carts, apart from other pedestrians.\nAfter a second night in Fez we caught the train back to Sale, having just scratched the surface but happy to have seen a bit of Morocco. Oops, nearly forgot - we did do the souks . . .\nMarrakech was technologically advanced - but they also have a snail souk!\nThe gas man cometh, in Fez, and the waste contractor - 'Ozone' does a good job.

This review was last updated on April 20th, 2016.\nJungle Disk is one the premier backup services in the cloud based services industry, they specialize in security and data backup for businesses. As they say “Backup is all we do, so backup is what we do best”. They offer multiple plans for businesses depending on team size and needs.\nThey offer pay per month plans with no long term contracts which is appealing for businesses who may be looking to test the service. The plans are offered in two systems; the Jungle Disk plan for protection against your corporate computers and the Jungle Disk Server plan for unlimited server backups on demand.\nThe basic plan starts at $4 monthly per user and storage fees, this plan is very good value for money. The second plan they offer is their server plan, this plan starts at $5 monthly per user and storage as well. Each user is provided with 10 GB storage free with the initial account, the scale the amount of storage they provide you with depending on your needs. This is efficient from a business perspective as not all employees will need the same storage, this means that the service they provide can save you money on costs as you can scale the amount of storage you provide depending on their respective needs.\nJungle Disk offers unique backup vault features, Legacy backup features, sync folders features and a backup reporting overview. Backup vaults are storage containers within an online disk where your backup data resides for one single computer. This backup vault allows for black-level data de-duplication within and across multiple files and versions of files as well as compression for all data; this means greatly improved backup speeds and less total data stored, each account can have multiple online disks with multiple backup vaults although you can only attach a backup vault to a single computer.\nThe Legacy backup feature they provide allows you to keep files and folders to your local machine backed up automatically offsite to your Jungledisk, they recommend using their backup vault service though as backup vaults help to keep your overall storage and bills lower. Their sync folders feature is a powerful tool you use to keep a set of data on your network drive and your local computer in sync, it’s useful for example when you need to sync your folders on the go or if you want to keep a folder in sync across multiple computers for your employees or coworkers. Their backup reporting overview feature is both a section in their online control panel for viewing logs and a way of keeping track of your backup jobs by receiving notifications of those jobs.\nSecurity is where Jungle Disk really differs from the competition. They offer an encryption key at sign up for the user that only you know and have access to. This means that even the servers and the team at Jungle Disk can’t see your data without the key. The service they provide means essentially you have control over the access of your files. This also secured by an AES 256 bit encryption layer, this means using their service is even safer to transmit important files.\nJungleDisk has its merits when it comes to the speed of their service. I was able to transfer a rather large video file (135MB) within 23 minutes, which is fair considering that I’m using a slow Internet connection. My ADSL line only has 5Mbps download and 1Mbps upload bandwidth. Of course, if you have a faster Internet connection, your transfer times will be many times faster. The problem is that many users still don’t have the latest and greatest Internet connections (like a gigabit connection, for example). If you do have a slow Internet connection, JungleDisk is a good option since their speeds aren’t heinously slow. Some users simply can’t use a service with local encryption since it makes file transfers drag on for hours, but JungleDisk performed pretty well compared to other providers.\nThe great thing about Jungle Disk is that the service they provide gives you the ability to backup anything and everything you need to keep an extra copy of. You can backup company assets on devices like laptops, desktops and of course servers. Whether the files are videos, photos or document based file formats. Even better, one of Jungle Disk’s best features is the fact that they places zero limits on file sizes for backups, meaning you can back up files of any size. Server plans are available for automated server backups to provide you peace of mind and ease of use.\nOf course at any time you can restore any and all files that have been backed up to your Jungle Disk account. The great thing in this case is the user control the access so anytime you need to get your data your unique key gives you access to all your backups, this means that you can so can personally restore the files you need to.\nTheir site offers great a help center filled with FAQ’s, troubleshooting techniques, and more information when it comes to common questions on the service. This help center is filled with commonly asked questions on problems you may encounter with their service. If there help center does not provide you with the information you need, they also provide a contact form for more specific questions. You’ll notice however their service doesn’t offer any other means of contact such as a phone line or any form of live chat service, this is one of the limitations of the service they provide as instant help to queries or problem with their service can be crucial to businesses, but we expect the turn around time in case of data loss or emgency to be very quick.\nAt the end of my overview, Jungle Disk sticks true to their word and focuses on only backup for business data. Offering high levels of security with the unique encryption key which puts the access power in the user’s hands. Coupled with their affordable starting plans makes it’s highly appealing to businesses of multiple sizes. If you’re looking for a straight forward backup solution to keep your employees and corporate computer data secure and safely backed up, Jungle Disk will meet those needs.
